two hundred and thirty four.
matt is sleeping in cleona's room. she is sick and fussy and needs attention. so she gets it.
but tonight is noteworthy because its the first night I won't be sleeping in the same room as her. which is very freeing and also makes me tear up a little.
I hear a lot of moms lament how their baby is growing up...but that's not what tugs at my heart strings. I mean, I'm really looking forward to her being five. and eight. And even fifteen!
It's just...I miss her. I like having her near me. She will just get a few extra kisses when she wakes up to nurse. :)

totally get that. we moved tyler out much younger and it was equally as hard. but i think if we'd waited it would have just gotten worse. i loved rolling over and just looking at him at night, now we just used the video monitor:) i do love that he's in his own room, but we miss him sometimes too.
When he was sick a few weeks ago he ended up in our room for about a week and it was hard then to send him back (good too, but...)

The Doors of Perception
"The way in which we view something defines for us what we're going to allow ourselves to see of it. A point of view is merely one degree out of the three hundred and sixty degrees of a circle; each point of view can see from that point only, and so is three hundred and fifty nine degrees blind. When we become fixated on our "point of view," our interpretations and expectations blind us. This is true of how we view our practice as well. Since our practice is about opening to our life as it is, opening to this moment as it is, and allowing this clear seeing to pervade our life, it is important that our view of practice also be open and clear. This requires honesty with ourselves and our own motives and a very open and clear investigation and recognition of the ways in which we might be approaching our practice as a means to try to grasp at things within our life, instead of opening to the vastness of our life itself."
So I have been pondering what to post as my first official blog post…
I have this curse of being awfully deliberate in everything I do and things that come in the 'right' order make me happy. So I decided I'd post about why I haven't posted… This will lead into all of the other subjects I wish to write about.
I tend to live my life on the notion that everything is in constant flux and change. Beliefs systems change as we experience our lives.. Our opinions about self, others and the world around us shift as we are met with new challenges and understandings of both an external and internal nature. My life up until now has been unbelievably synchronistic and meaningful, even in the moments I thought it to be everything but.
I have been through hell and back, and back again. I will write about my battles while growing up and how I managed to find peace in the chaos.. And how I now strive for more order [or what I call, practice], while accepting that I cannot cling to it. Basically, anything I write in this blog is subject to change and may inevitably be something entirely different down the road.. So I therefore, choose to be as honest and sincere as I can be when I share and navigate these experiences with you, right now.
There is something to be said of living in extremes and loving it and taking what you have discovered there and channeling it into balance. To remain neutral to life's tests, to keep an open mind, to look for the signs and affirmations that we are where we are meant to be, in every single moment. To be patient and kind with ourselves and our own pace.. To not compare our journey with that of another individual. Life's essence is infinite, the most complex intricate, yet simple and elegant design of all possibility. If we truly remain open to the possibilities, we remain open to all perspectives, all ideas, all solutions. This is creative thinking, this is completely tossing out the box and making your own rules.. Living the life, exploring the ideas that resonate deeply with who you are at your core, so you may clearly see and comprehend your passion, but mostly feel it. Tap into the truth of self. You are vast, and you have the power to reflect and go deeply within yourself..
So I fumble around with the idea of what to write first because life is so big! The connections could go forever once you let go of limitations. I don't want to forget certain details that may spark something in someone reading this and completely over-shoot the point. There are certain words that hold the power of flicking on the switch of awareness and if I can harness those words and tie them up together correctly, I can help liberate minds, souls, hearts.. What is more important?
So here is to keeping an open mind, and understanding that we are all in a very different mind set. Our conditioning and attitudes toward our experiences and our deep underlying fears dictate what we believe to be real and true. We have the power to change our perspective and thus change our realities. Let's see what magic can come from a little imaginative, open & playful thinking.
"Most people are not really free. They are confined by the niche in the world that they carve out for themselves. They limit themselves to fewer possibilities by the narrowness of their vision."

Charity runners hit the streets to raise cash for families
Defence workers in fancy dress have launched a charity partnership by running a mile for the cause.
Dozens of BAE Systems staff donned costumes and pounded round Portsmouth Naval Base in warm spring sunshine.
The Royal Navy and Royal Marines Children's Fund will benefit from Thursday's action, and from other fundraising done in the next two years.
The 3,000 workers at the base have opted to support the charity, based at Castaway House in Twyford Avenue, Stamshaw.
While most runners left the corner of Daring building in shorts and T-shirt, one man was walking with two stout sticks.
Sean Collins, 39, groaned his way past the start line under 300lbs of lifting weights.
The engineering manager from Cosham, Portsmouth, said: 'I wanted to make it a challenge to remember, so I decided to run with extra weight.
'I was looking at the 30lbs the Royal Marines carry on their qualifying runs, and I thought it would be good to take a larger amount.
'It's not me saying I can carry more than them, it was just a challenge I wanted to do.'
Running ahead of him were a team clad in heavy clothing and breathing apparatus from BAE's rescue team.
Chief Petty Officer Mac McColloch, 42, on secondment from the navy, said: 'It was a bit tough running in the heavy gear but it was for a good cause.
'I served most recently in HMS Ark Royal, and while I've never needed the charity it's important to have the support there.'
The BAE staff were launching their first Charity Challenge programme since the company was renamed from BVT.
The BAE site at Broad Oak in Anchorage Park supports the Royal British Legion, reflecting the defence giant's wish to link up with local forces charities.
Elliot Webber, charity co- ordinator at BAE Systems in Portsmouth, said: 'We felt it was important to support a charity which is close to us here in the yard.
'The Royal Navy and Royal Marines Children's Fund gives invaluable support to local children and we are excited that they are our partner charity for this fundraising campaign.'
Clare Scherer, of the children's fund, said: 'We are delighted we have been chosen by BAE Systems.
'With increasing numbers of Royal Marines and Royal Navy being deployed in Afghanistan, we are seeing a resulting impact on their families and an increased demand for our support.'
The charity provides support including childcare, special needs education, days out and in-home support in times of crisis.

A handful of lawmakers donned traditional Sikh headdress on the Senate floor Monday to honor two turbaned Sikh men shot while on a walk in Elk Grove last month.
Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, joined by Sikhs from the greater Sacramento area, said the gesture was meant to show solidarity and unity in the wake of the March 4 shooting, which left 65-year-old Surinder Singh dead and 78-year-old Gurmej Atwal critically injured.
"No Sikh should be afraid to wear this headdress. No Sikh should be afraid to practice their peaceful religion because they believe someone will attack them," the Sacramento Democrat, wearing a purple turban, said.
Sen. Doug La Malfa, R-Richvale, called on colleagues to support those impacted by the attack, calling the Sikh community in his district "very kind, a very open loving people."
Police have not arrested any suspects in the shooting, which was believed by many to be a hate crime, as local leaders offer rewards exceeding $42,000 for information on the incident.
Lawmakers speaking on the floor emphasized looking beyond a conviction, focusing on embracing diversity and promoting religious and cultural tolerance.
"Those responsible clearly have to be brought to justice, but it is more important that we dedicate ourselves to respecting other cultures, to making sure our state and our citizens respect and revel in the diversity of our communities," said Sen. Lois Wolk, D-Davis. "We are all Sikhs today and we are all Americans."
Sen. Curren Price, D-Los Angeles, also wore a turban on the floor while Wolk, and Democratic Sens. Elaine Alquist and Ellen Corbett wore headscarves.
Steinberg presented the son of Atwal with a resolution on the floor and the upper house adjourned in memory of Singh. He urged colleagues to join him at a Wednesday morning solidarity rally on the West Steps of the Capitol.

Sony Music Sweden Develops App to Make Streaming Earnings More TransparentTuesday, March 8th, 2016
From Music Business Worldwide:
Sony Music in Sweden has developed an app which the major says will fix transparent accounting issues faced by artists in the streaming age.
Former Spotify exec Michelle Kadir led development of the platform, which shows acts their daily royalty earnings – including information pertaining to their label advance.
In addition, the app pulls together other key information for Sony Music Sweden artists, including streaming volume across all platforms, plus airplay data and profiles by age/gender/location of their listeners.
A "heat map" highlights the areas in the world where the artist is currently popular – information which could, for instance, help inform an act's touring plans.
As you'd expect, the app also offers 'intelligence' of social media popularity across Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
It has been given to artists signed to Sony Music Sweden with a global roll-out expected later this year.

Cholesterol too, like fat, has many other important functions. Far from being an enemy to the body, as conventional thinking holds, cholesterol is a valuable substance made by the body itself. Little of the cholesterol in our blood comes directly from food; most of it is made in the liver. That's because cholesterol strengthens cell membranes and intestinal walls, makes bile, and is vital for hormone and vita-min production. It may even act as an antioxidant and boost immunity.
Small wonder that "people with high cholesterol live the longest," says medical researcher Dr Uffe Ravnskov. "This statement seems incredible, but its truth emerges clearly from many scientific papers-particularly studies of the elderly." One was done by Yale University, and found that old people with high cholesterol had half the number of deaths from heart attack as their low-cholesterol peers (JAMA, 1994; 272: 1335-40).
In another first-class study, doctors from London's Imperial College found that high cholesterol levels protected people with chronic heart failure, leading to dramatic reductions in death rates. "The chance of survival increases by 25 per cent for each mmol/L [38.6 mg/dL] increment in total cholesterol," they reported (J Am Coll Cardiol, 2003; 42: 1933-40).
In Holland, scientists have been studying the 200-year-long records of two families with genetically high levels of cholesterol, and found no increase in deaths compared with those without the condition (BMJ, 2001; 322: 1019-23).
So, is there no connection between heart disease and cholesterol levels? Yes, there is, but the data are not nearly as consistent as the established view makes out, with a substantial minority of clinical studies showing an inverse relationship: less cholesterol, more heart attacks. In fact, over 60 per cent of all heart attacks occur in people with normal cholesterol, and most of those with high cholesterol never suffer heart attacks at all. "Consider the fact that more than 90 per cent of all cardiovascular disease occurs in people above age 60," says Dr Ravnskov, " and that almost all studies have found that high cholesterol is not a risk factor for either women or old people. This means that high cholesterol is only a risk factor for less than 5 per cent of those who die from a heart attack."
And yet, CHD is increasing, and has been for nearly a century. So, if neither fat nor cholesterol is the culprit, then what is?
A Processing Problem
Many nutritionists are now pointing the finger at modern processed food. "It's a little known fact that, before 1920, coronary heart disease was rare in developed countries like America," says pioneering nutritionist Dr Mary Enig, of the Weston Price Foundation, "but it rose dramatically over the next 40 years. If, as we have been told, heart disease results from the consumption of saturated fats, one would expect
to find a corresponding increase in animal-fat consumption. Actually, the reverse is true. In America, for example, during the period from 1910 to 1970, there was a significant decline in the proportion of traditional animal fat in the national diet."
Enig has shown that the rise of heart disease corresponds with the introduction of polyunsaturated plant oils into foodstuffs. Invented in 1916, margarine was the earliest and best-known example, but thousands of common foods soon followed suit. "One reason the polyunsaturates cause health problems is that they become oxidized when subjected to heat, as in food processing, and produce free radicals," says Enig. "These are extremely reactive chemically, causing damage to blood vessels and initiating atherosclerosis."

2010 NFL Draft: Tim Tebow's Likely Landing Spot—The New England PatriotsApril 14, 2010
I will admit that I thought in the beginning that the Jacksonville Jaguars would pick Tim Tebow in the first round with their assigned pick or by trading down.
I was wrong.
Some of what I wrote was in jest and honestly trying to stir up the pot, for I am a Jaguars fan who is growing bored with the team's struggles.
However, being a alumnus of the University of Florida and a Tebow fan, I wanted him to be with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Who knows—perhaps he will be picked in the third round by the Jaguars if he is still available. I doubt he will be.
Everyone knows that Tebow will be a project once he enters the NFL. I've always maintained that Tebow should be handled once drafted just like Steve McNair was when he was drafted by the Houston Oilers. Everyone knows how McNair turned out.
The team that picks Tebow should have a QB in place who is established and in a position to mentor him. The team should also have a supporting cast in place to ensure Tebow isn't pressured to perform before he is ready.
That is why I think the New England Patriots would be the perfect fit for Tebow.
Urban Meyer has built a good professional relationship with Bill Belichick. He has traveled to meet with Coach Belichick for many reasons, and I wouldn't be surprised if Tebow's future wasn't discussed a few times during those visits.
Tom Brady is an established and top QB in the NFL. Who better to mentor Tim? Brady is no stranger to working his way up and taking advantage of an opportunity when it presents itself. Let's not forget that Brady was a sixth-round draft pick back in 2000.
Belichick possesses an extremely creative offensive mind, and without a doubt he would find ways to get Tebow involved. Add Tebow's work ethic and leadership qualities, and in the end it would be a win-win situation for all involved.
The Patriots have three picks in the second round. If Tebow is available when one of those three picks comes up, I would be shocked if New England doesn't select Tebow.
Tim will leave the sunny state of Florida for the sometimes brutal weather of New England. As he likes to say, "It just takes one team...."

Sibelius: 'Kullervo'
Peter Mattei, baritone; Monica Groop, mezzo-soprano; London Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, conducted by Colin Davis. LSO Live LSO0574; CD.
SIBELIUS was just 26 when "Kullervo," his symphonic poem for vocal soloists, chorus and orchestra, had its enormously successful premiere in Helsinki in 1892. Yet within a year, the severely self-critical Sibelius withdrew the score.
"Kullervo" remains little known and underappreciated. Fortunately, LSO Live has just released a gripping new account of this 72-minute score by the London Symphony Orchestra and Chorus conducted by Colin Davis, the finest Sibelius interpreter of our time.
In his booklet notes, Stephen Johnson speculates that the young Sibelius might have lost faith in the work because of its curious hybrid nature: part symphony, part tone poem, part dramatic cantata. My guess is that he was also bothered by its sprawling structure, which rambles in places. With each of the seven symphonies that followed, Sibelius proved himself an ever more assured master of concision, however unconventional his music.
The haunting and incisive performance Sir Colin elicits from the orchestra, chorus and two fine soloists here makes "Kullervo" seem an audacious and original achievement. The music was inspired by a Finnish legend. The tragic hero Kullervo was wrested from his father by a ruthless uncle and sold into slavery as a boy. Later, an impulsive, crude and fearless young man, Kullervo rapes an alluring woman he sees on the road, only to learn that she is his lost sister.
Highlights of the five-movement work include the Introduction, a portrait of Kullervo, in which noble folkloric melodies are undermined by ominous ruminations in the orchestral depths; a Brucknerian slow movement depicting the hero's youth; and "Kullervo and His Sister," at once an unsettling scherzo in 5/4 time and a teeming operatic scene for soloists and chorus.
Sir Colin's exciting recording, taken from live performances in London, should help bring this ambitious score deserved attention.Continue reading the main story

Midwest heatwave in late August 2013
A heat wave struck the Midwest in late August and early September 2013. Daytime highs were 6 degrees above average, and nighttime lows were 11 degrees above average in late August. (In contrast, the first three weeks of the month had temperatures 2 to 8 degrees below average.) Through September 8, all-time daily record highs were tied or broken at 328 weather stations in the Midwest and High Plains.
This map shows the hottest temperatures in the United States between August 25 and September 8, 2013, based on data from NOAA's Real-Time Mesoscale Analysis. Areas with higher temperatures appear red and magenta; areas with lower temperatures appear light yellow. The heart of the country, from southern Texas northward through the Dakotas, saw wide areas where temperatures on at least one day topped 100 degrees.
On August 29, the National Weather Service reported, "An expansive upper level ridge will keep the central and southern plains hot and dry. Temperatures will be as much as 20 degrees above normal in some locations with highs nearing 100 degrees today." A high-pressure system extended from Mexico northward through South Dakota, and from Arizona eastward to the Georgia coast. The high-pressure ridge brought hot, dry conditions to the Central Plains.
Heat waves and cold snaps can occur in any climate system, and indeed the Central Plains experienced cooler-than-normal temperatures for most of August 2013. But in a warming climate, the odds of heat waves increase. A 2009 report by the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) named more frequent heat waves among the risks for the Great Plains over the 21st century. A 2012 study using a high-resolution climate model experiment indicated that by the mid-21st century, heat waves would likely be more frequent and longer lasting.

Washington kicker Nick Rose made a 56-yard field goal with a little over a minute left to play to cut the Vikings' lead to 38-30. But Rose's onsides kick didn't travel the required 10 yards, giving the ball to Minnesota and allowing the Vikings to kneel to run out the clock and win the game. The Redskins drop to 4-5.
Vikings kick a field goal, extend lead to 38-27
In three-plus seasons as a member of the Redskins, Vikings kicker Kai Forbath's longest field goal was 50 yards. Now a member of the Vikings and returning to FedEx Field, Forbath drilled a 53-yarder midway through the fourth quarter that could prove to be crucial. The kick gave the Vikings a 38-27, making this a two-possession game. Kirk Cousins and Co. will have to score twice in the next seven and a half minutes to challenge Minnesota.
D.J. Swearinger's second interception leads to Redskins touchdown as Vikings' lead is cut to 35-27
He calls himself two spoons. Well, D.J. Swearinger now has two interceptions after snagging another pass from Case Keenum. Although he fumbled out of bounds on the return, it gave Washington's offense the ball at the 2-yard line. Kirk Cousins scored his second rushing touchdown two plays later on a read-option play to make it a one-score game, 35-27, with 14:47 left in the fourth quarter.
And finally a mistake from Case Keenum. Now the Redskins will have to show whether they can capitalize. Keenum was enjoying a near-flawless game with a lot of good pass protection. The Redskins have zero sacks and just two quarterback hits. But then Keenum floated a pass that was destined for Redskins' hands, and sure enough. D.J. Swearinger came down with it, his first pick since joining Washington as a free agent this offseason. Washington's offense took the field with a bit of momentum and in need of a score to make the final quarter here competitive.
Redskins cut Vikings' lead to 35-20
Washington kicker Nick Rose made a 21-yard field goal with 8:28 left in the third quarter after the Redskins' drive stalled at the Vikings' 3-yard line, bringing the score to 35-20 in favor of Minnesota.
Minnesota extends lead to 35-17 as Case Keenum throws his fourth touchdown pass
This game flipped quickly, and just two and a half minutes into the second half, the Vikings suddenly raced out to a 35-17 lead and the Redskins were left searching for answers, especially on the defensive end. The Washington defense has allowed a touchdown on five of the Vikings' first six drives this afternoon. The latest was a 72-yard drive on just six plays to open the third quarter, capped by Case Keenum's 7-yard touchdown pass to Jarius Wright.
Keenum is having quite the afternoon. He's 14-of-18 passing for 250 yards and four touchdowns. His 158.3 passer rating is perfect.
Vikings lead 28-17 at halftime after Cousins interception
Kirk Cousins was intercepted by Vikings defensive back Mackensie Alexander with 1:38 left in the first half, leading to another touchdown by Minnesota and a 28-17 lead heading into halftime.
Just when it appeared the Redskins had a chance to take the lead before halftime, they now trail by two scores. Cousins threw a costly interception, a pass intended for Jamison Crowder that sailed over his hands, and Minnesota was able to double-dip with two touchdowns in the final two minutes of the first half to take a 28-17 lead.
The Vikings have had the ball for just over 11 minutes, yet they've gained 247 total yards. Washington's secondary has struggled defending Minnesota wide receivers Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen, who have 10 combined catches for 162 yards and two touchdowns.
Adam Thielen touchdown catch gives Vikings a 21-17 advantage
Minnesota engineered a six-play, 71-yard touchdown drive that took fewer than three minutes off the clock, scoring on Case Keenum's 7-yard TD pass to Adam Thielen.
One week after turning in one of their best defensive performances of the season, this one has been pretty uneven for the Redskins. Keenum has faced little pressure, and the Washington secondary has given up some big plays. DeAngelo Hall, Josh Norman and Bashaud Breeland have all been beat soundly in coverage at some point in the opening half of play.
On this Vikings' scoring drive, receiver Thielen beat Breeland for a 38-yard gain that put the Vikings in the red zone. Thielen hauled in a 17-yard catch on the next snap and then two plays later caught a 7-yard touchdown pass to give Minnesota a 21-17 lead.
Redskins take a 17-14 lead on Kirk Cousins' QB sneak
Washington finished off a 13-play, 60-yard drive with a 1-yard touchdown run by Kirk Cousins on a quarterback sneak. The biggest play on a drive was a 32-yard catch and run by Jamison Crowder.
Washington's offensive line is healthy, and it has made a significant difference on the run game, as seen on this drive. The unit was able to get some great push in the running game against a talented Vikings defensive line, which is playing without Everson Griffen, guiding Washington's offense down the field on a 13-play drive that lasted over seven minutes.
Vikings take a 14-10 lead with Diggs touchdown
Minnesota quarterback Case Keenum connected with wide receiver Stefon Diggs for a 3-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter, giving the Vikings a 14-10 advantage.
Kirk Cousins has an impressive first quarter
The Redskins carried a 10-7 lead into the second quarter, and Kirk Cousins seems to be benefiting from the healthy offensive line in front of him. He's making the most of his time in the pocket and is spreading the ball around effectively. Five different Washington players registered at least one catch in the opening quarter — and not a single one of them was a tight end.
Cousins' first quarter numbers: 10-of-12 passing for 110 yards and a touchdown and a passer rating of 132.6. Cousins often finds himself looking first at his tight ends or running backs in short-yardage situations, but in the first quarter he targeted his wide receivers six times, which resulted in six receptions.
Redskins take a 10-7 lead
Washington got a field goal out of a 10-play, 52-yard drive at the end of the first quarter. The Redskins converted a fourth down play with a pass from Kirk Cousins to running back Chris Thompson. Running back Rob Kelley appeared to injure his knee on one play.
Vikings tie game at 7-7
Minnesota answered the Redskins' scoring drive with one of its own. Latavius Murray scored on a one-yard run two plays after Case Keenum connected with Stefon Diggs for a long completion.
We haven't seen Josh Norman get beat deep much, if at all, this season. But he got caught cheating during the first defensive possession. Diggs got about two steps on Norman during his 51-yard reception on the third play of the drive. Diggs, a Maryland product, got Minnesota down to the 2-yard line, and Murray scored two plays later. It was an uncharacteristic play for Norman, who has been the shutdown corner Washington had hoped he would be when he signed in 2016, leading to a quick response by Minnesota.
Redskins take early 7-0 lead
Maurice Harris made a spectacular one-handed diving catch for a touchdown to give Washington an early 7-0 lead. The catch capped off a seven-play, 75-yard drive that took just over four minutes.
Minnesota cornerback Trae Waynes is going to watch film of Harris's 36-yard reception and shake his head. There's not much he could've done to prevent that one. Harris came up with a highlight-reel, diving one-handed grab as he tumbled inside the pylon for the Redskins' first score of the game. The catch was initially ruled incomplete, but after a review, it was clear that Harris successfully made the grab inbounds. Harris was promoted to the active roster just one day earlier, and has given the Washington offense plenty of momentum out of the gate.
Reunited and it feels so good
Actually, given the injuries they'll play through, it probably is going to hurt a bit for the Washington Redskins' offensive line. The toughness of that unit will be on full display Sunday as the entire starting unit will suit up for the first time since Washington's Week 7 game against Philadelphia. Since that game every member of the starting unit has missed some amount of game time, whether it was just a few plays, in the case of right tackle Morgan Moses, or several games, as is the case for Trent Williams.
Despite a right-knee injury that will require surgery to correct, Williams is suiting up and will play Sunday vs. the Vikings, joining Shawn Lauvao (who missed time with a stinger), Brandon Scherff (knee) and Moses (ankles) in the trenches. Chase Roullier is starting at center for the injured Spencer Long (knee), who is active.

If I was Alec Couros, Will Richardson, Vicki Davis, Steve Hargadon, or any of the thousands of K-12 educators that have been pushing for networked/connected learning for years (in Will's case, more than a decade), I'd be fairly irritated to have been written out of the vision of connected learning that is now emerging from DML.
I don't see any mention of the folks that have been pushing for open, social, networked, and collaborative pedagogical models on the site's connected learning principles.
This might be a simple oversight on the part of the organizers – i.e. get the message of a new initiative out quickly. However, the site indicates that a new research group has been formed to explore connected learning. The starting point of almost all research is consideration of what has come before. Alec Couros, as an example, did his dissertation on the topic. (OT: If I was you Alec, I would totally go with Valentino as my first name. just sayin'). Julie Lindsay and Vicki Davis have just published a book on the topic.
Basically, a new initiative seems to arise out of nowhere with this brilliant vision of connected learning. Those popularizing this vision get labelled as innovators while those doing the actual work are not given credit. I've seen this happen numerous times (and have been on the receiving end of a similar "writing out of existence"). It's wrong.

Slauerhoffbrug: The Bridge That Looks Like It's Flipping Pancakes
Betcha never seen a bridge like this one: the Slauerhoffbrug (Slauerhoff Bridge) in Leeuwarden, the Netherlands, uses two arms to swing a section of the road in and out of place to let ships through.
The bridge looks like it's flipping pancakes - and one can imagine a hapless car could be catapulted far, far away if it just happens to stop at the wrong section of the bridge!

The role of our Client Relationship Managers (CRMs)
Wednesday 15th June, 2011
PayStream news
Posted by Colin Thompson
Managing the relationship with some of PayStream's largest clients can be a varied, challenging and hugely enjoyable role. As well as seeking out new opportunities, our CRMs support consultants in any payroll related issues they have, from general queries, to specific issues with individual contractors.
Fortunately, some of our clients are achieving growth even in the current challenging economic climate, and with many new recruits being fresh to the industry our CRMs regularly provide training on Umbrella and Limited Company services.
Obviously the current hot topic is the upcoming AWR legislation. Most of our larger clients are in the process of developing procedures to cope with the changes, and we've been very active in helping our clients with this. On a day to day level, the CRMs have been providing an overview of the legislation to consultants to ensure that they have a good understanding of the subject and what their responsibilities are, and make sure they can deal with questions from their candidates.
Ultimately, we want to make the payroll process as straightforward as possible for consultants and ensure that their contractors receive the best possible service. The more pressure our CRMs can take off consultants, the more time they have to secure more placements which is obviously a win – win situation.

This is a multi-faceted wine with a rich bouquet of toasted nuts, butter, vanilla and caramel nuances. It's rich and full in the mouth, with satisfying weight and depth, complexity and detail, yet remains light on its feet.
95, Huon Hooke, Gourmet Traveller Wine, February/March 2012
Classic Mornington Chardonnay, combining the roundedness of fleshy white peach and butterscotch with the fresh drive of lemon and grapefruit, finishing balanced, clean and long.
92, Tyson Stelzer, Wine Business Monthly, October 2011
Looking fresh in the glass with a greenish tinge, the nose has complexity and composure, peach and nougat, oak spices and lemon custard. The palate's bright, assertive and convincing; flavours follow aromas through the lemon and peach spectrum, with spiced, honeyed complexity. Good balance too.
93, Nick Stock, Good Wine Guide 2012, October 2011
There is no doubting that the Mornington Peninsula is fast becoming one of the prime regions in Australia for Chardonnay production. TMBT is in the Premier League, as this terrific, turbo-charged Chardonnay demonstrates. With orange blossom and wild honey on the nose and silkiness and cultured oak on the palate, this is a decadent Chardonnay just starting out on a five year crusade to entrance your senses.
Matthew Jukes, Wine Rules 2011, August 2011
Light straw-green; a complex chardonnay with layered fruit flavours including some creamy cashew nuances, the oak balance impeccable. In some ways, middle ground between McCutcheon and Wallis. Drink 2016.
94, James Halliday, 2012 Australian Wine Companion, August 2011

Nobody wants their child to suffer from disease or illness, but are vaccines the answer? Most literature about vaccination promotes the belief that the 'benefits' of vaccines outweigh any potential 'risks'. This website contains information that questions both the effectiveness and safety of vaccines. Investigate before you vaccinate. Read the information that promotes vaccination and that which questions it.
Then you can decide for yourself.
Kathy Scarborough
We are encouraged to prevent diseases in our children by giving them vaccines. Diseases are described in fearful terms; a vaccine the only solution offered to protect against and eliminate these threats. We are also told that unvaccinated children are not protected, and that we must have high vaccination rates or these diseases will return and, in the case of new threats, become epidemic.
Despite this information, some parents choose not to vaccinate their children. They believe their children benefit by not having vaccines.
An increasing number of vaccines are recommended by the National Immunisation Schedule (NIS) which begins at six weeks with the Infanrix Hexa and Synflorix vaccines (against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, hepatitis B, haemophilus influenza type B, and pneumococcal). Parents question the impact this has on the developing immune systems of their babies and children. They are concerned about adverse reactions to vaccines and their short and long term effects on health.
How effective was the vaccine when children contract the disease they are supposed to have been protected against? Teenagers are targeted for vaccines with at least one recommended in high school and more in the pipe-line. The adult vaccine market has expanded and more vaccines have been introduced for the elderly.
The goal to maintain a culture of being vaccinated in teenagers and to target adults as the next vaccine market is being realised.
Vaccination is a 'whole of life' schedule. You will be asked to consent to whooping cough and tetanus vaccine at 45, and again at 65, with influenza vaccination annually thereafter. More vaccinations are being added to the schedule every few years.
As more vaccines are administered the rate of chronic illness in children, especially immune system and neurological (nervous system) dysfunction, has increased dramatically. The life expectancy of future generations has shortened. Chronic illness has overtaken infectious disease as the biggest public health burden.1
With such an intensive vaccination schedule to prevent disease and ensure health you may well ask:
What benefits have vaccines given? What is the cost to health?
This website questions vaccination and contains information that is NOT routinely provided by immunisation services. The information has been sourced from medical journals, government publications, vaccine manufacturers' information, books and articles by a variety of researchers.

L'Oreal Paris USA Introduces Advanced Haircare and Announces Facebook Giveaway of 1 Million Products
L'Oreal Paris Kicks Off Red Carpet Season by Encouraging Women to Change the Life of Their Hair
Jan 15, 2013, 09:00 EST
NEW YORK, Jan. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- L'Oreal Paris, global hair authority and R&D leader, is proud to build on its 100 years of beauty heritage with the launch of a new franchise five years in the making – Advanced Haircare. Designed to help American women change the life of their hair, this clinically-tested1 collection, on shelves now at mass retailers, consists of five tailored modules with shampoos, conditioners and hair treatments to deliver instant results and lasting transformation1. With seven luxurious and effective treatments at the center of Advanced Haircare, L'Oreal Paris is encouraging women to adopt a three-step haircare routine – shampoo, condition and treat – to help hair look gorgeous.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130115/NY42376-a )
As a means to introduce America to Advanced Haircare, L'Oreal Paris is giving away 1 million product samples exclusively on the brand's Facebook page (facebook.com/lorealparis)2 on Tuesday, January 15th. Known for its red carpet and get-the-look expertise, L'Oreal Paris is kicking off this large-scale giveaway at the start of the most glamorous time of the year – awards season.
"With 1.7 million U.S. fans and over 14 million fans globally, Facebook has become the definitive location for women who love L'Oreal Paris to share, discuss and learn about the latest in beauty products. It's great that L'Oreal Paris has chosen to utilize Facebook to give away these new Advanced Haircare products to 1 million of their biggest fans," says Facebook Vice President of Global Marketing Solutions and head of U.S. Sales, Tom Arrix.
L'Oreal Paris developed the five modules of Advanced Haircare based on the top haircare concerns of American women, as shown by extensive market research conducted by the brand: Total Repair 5 for damaged hair, Smooth Intense for frizzy hair, Power Moisture for dry hair, Color Vibrancy for color-treated hair and Triple Resist for breakage-prone, weak hair.
All five modules feature Arginine-K Complex™. The Arginine-K Complex™ in the five individual modules is paired with customized actives that tailor each formula for particular hair needs and types – ultimately delivering instant results and lasting transformation, when used regularly1.
Although hair is a woman's crowning glory, many American women rush through their hair routine with a quick shampoo and condition. L'Oreal Paris is encouraging women to add a third and critical step to their haircare routine by adding the use of treatments. With ingredients that penetrate the hair, treatments not only give strands a polished, finished look, but also help keep hair feeling and looking healthy.
As more and more American women are exposing hair to chemical treatments and styling with multiple hot tools, the use of treatments is now more crucial than ever. Hair treatments have already caught on abroad as treatment usage is more than double outside of the U.S., according to L'Oreal Paris research.
To personalize the regimen, the treatments within Advanced Haircare are innovative and comprised of user-friendly forms including two rinse-out masks, three lightweight leave-in sprays, a serum and a creme formula. These tailor-made solutions bring premium textures to the haircare aisle.
"Right now, U.S. women believe that only skincare warrants an ongoing regimen. They see hair as a quick fix, when really, hair deserves and needs the same multi-step approach as skincare to be at its best," says Karen T. Fondu, President of L'Oreal Paris USA. "Behind Advanced Haircare is a technology with highly efficacious formulas to meet the specific needs of U.S. consumers."
Actress Lea Michele, L'Oreal Paris spokesperson for Advanced Haircare's Total Repair 5 line, weighs in on her personal experience with treatments: "I've learned from the hairstylists I've worked with that hair treatments are the most important step in a haircare regimen." She continues, "Treatments put all of these ingredients into your hair. You can really see and feel a difference in your hair right away."
No two heads of hair are alike and no one understands this better than L'Oreal Paris. With five tailored modules designed to address common haircare concerns, women can pick and choose the hair systems and products that best work for their hair type and needs.
- Total Repair 5 is formulated with Arginine-K Complex™ + CeramideThis module, which includes shampoo, conditioner, a Damage-Erasing Balm and Multi-Restorative Dry Oil, is designed to help fight visible signs of damaged hair3, including split ends, weakness, roughness, dullness and dehydration. Total Repair 5 repairs up to one year of damage in one use3.
- Smooth Intense is formulated with Arginine-K Complex™ + Oleo-KeratinThis module, which includes shampoo, conditioner, Xtreme Straight Creme and Frizz Taming Serum, leaves hair polished, smooth and frizz-controlled for up to 72 hours4.
- Power Moisture is formulated with Arginine-K Complex™ + Hyaluronic This module, which includes shampoo, conditioner and a Power Moisture Rush Mask, provides hair with up to 10X more moisture5.
- Color Vibrancy is formulated with Arginine-K Complex™ + Anti-Oxidant + UV filter This module, which includes shampoo, conditioner and a Color Vibrancy Dual Protect Spray, delivers up to eight weeks of color vibrancy6 and nourishment.

As an organization of predominately African American women, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority is uniquely positioned to impact not only the well-being of its members, but also the well-being of families and communities at large. SHFBAC strives to achieve this goal through it's Mission: Health & Wellness Fair and IMPACT Day workshops.
On March 15, 2014 the Suburban Houston – Fort Bend Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. and the Missouri City – Sugar Land Texas Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. held their annual health and wellness event at the beautiful new Fort Bend Pinnacle Senior Center. The event was a success with over 200 participants. The theme for this year's event was "Healthy Lifestyles, Healthy Families". There were health screenings for all age groups including mental health, blood pressure and dental care. Our chapter had the opportunity to partner with The Rose, a nonprofit breast health organization, for the first time. This partnership allowed us to provide 21 mammograms to women in the Fort Bend community.
There were 15 vendors in attendance representing various health areas. A few of the vendors in attendance included Planned Parenthood, MD Anderson, the Houston Public Library and Rush Med Pharmacy. Members from the chapter provided dental and speech screenings, arts and crafts activities, an organic juice bar and an ambulance for participants to explore. Other activities included a "Males Only" health session and a teen session on health and media that received excellent reviews. One of the most popular activities was certainly the line dancing sessions. Almost everyone was on the dance floor.
Other community organizations came out to show their support including the Fort Bend Boys and Girls Club and Boys Scout Troop 500 from Brentwood Baptist Church. It was an afternoon of fun and wellness for all. We look forward to an even bigger event next year!

According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, the number of adolescents who are overweight has tripled since 1980, while the prevalence among younger childern has more than doubled. Additionally, obesity disproportionately affects African American adolescents. Moved by such startling statistics, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. is working to bring more awareness to this worrisome matter. Deltas around the world hosted IMPACT (Inspiring and Motivating Public Service Advocates for Community Transformations) Day activities that served to raise awareness of the fight against obesity, its threat on healthy living and its relationship to chronic disease.
In order to call more attention to this issue locally, specifically to the Southwest Houston and Fort Bend communities, SHFBAC partnered with the Missouri City – Sugar Land Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. to host the IMPACT Day Health & Wellness Fair on Saturday, March 9, 2013. Zones were set up so that kids and parents got hands-on experience while increasing their awareness of causes of childhood obesity, risk factors that contribute to this epidemic and ways to combat and prevent this disease:
– Chef Zone: "Make, Take, and Eat" – participants prepared healthy snacks and parents were given ideas on what to prepare home
– Screening Zone: American Diabetes Association, Texas Southern University & University of Houston provided blood pressure and diabetes screening for both children and adults
– Exercise Zone: featured an outside obstacle course & dance moves from Project D.R.E.A.M. choreographer Shonda C. Taylor
– Education Zone: physician discussed weight loss, physical activity & healthy lifestyle habits
– Hospitality Zone: healthy snacks & beverages provided throughout the day for guests
– Kid Zone: featured face painting, Stranger Danger info and coloring station for younger children

On Saturday, March 10, 2012, SHFBAC joined other Deltas around the nation for the National IMPACT (Inspiring and Motivating Public Service Advocates for Community Transformations) Day of Service by hosting a domestic violence awareness workshop themed Breaking the Silence: Talking About Domestic Violence (My Cry in the Dark). The Chapter collaborated with the Fort Bend Women's Center, the Houston Area Women's Center, Stafford Houston Community College and the Fort Bend Precinct 2 Constable's office to bring awareness to this very serious issue within our community.
The day included a panel discussion, male and female breakout sessions, a teen forum and a balloon release in honor of domestic violence victims. All attendees received a resource booklet which included more information on the warning signs of abuse, how to create a safety plan and local community resources.
SHFBAC also helped to further spread the word to the community on this topic by delivering Domestic Violence Information Packets to local beauty salons and barbershops.

Design a Logo
Budget $30-250 AUD
**Require a background design to compliment/work with current logo. So logo and background can be used together and/or separately
**Simple, stylish, timeless, unique – not something that is on trend right now or gimmicky
**Want to create an awareness, be noticeable, be memorable. Create a fast impression but also allow current logo, and any other info e.g. web address, phone number, etc to stand out
**Something that will work across all mediums from small to large (e.g. website, stationery, signage, vehicle signage)
Please note, I DO NOT need a logo designed - this was the closet option that I was given when logging this project. Please read info in 'Description'.

At the Cannes Film Festival in 2015, Hou Hsiao-hsien won his first Award director for "The Assassin." After being nominated six times to Cannes, this award comes late for him. At 68 years old, Hou Hsiao-hsien is one of the most important Asian filmmakers of this generation. Hou Hsiao-hsien began his film career in 1973. Beginning as a logkeeper, he accumulated his experiences, and finally became a figurehead of the new Taiwanese film wave in the 1980 alongside Edward Yang, (director of "A One and a Two" ).
His first films are born of personal writing from personal experiences. "The Time to Live and the Time to Die" (1985) describes his childhood and adolescence; "A Summer at Grandpa's" (1986) comes from the experience of his scriptwriter Chu Tien-wen; and "Dust in the Wind" (1986) is the love story of Wu Nien-jen – a friend and well-known writer. He can achieve the dramatic frame, to focus on the emotional. His individual experiences reflect the realism of Taiwan society. His long takes are objective and calm. They are thought since the book "The Autobiography of Congwen", offered by his scriptwriter Chu Tien-wen. Hou Hsiao-hsien acknowledged there "the objective point of view and without exaggeration": a way of observing the world and life, and to film what it deploys in "City of Sadness" (1989), a calm power to observe the misery of the characters in the changing times.
The personal writing, dramatic weakening and long take constitute his aesthetic style. These three characteristics are labels of his first films, but are also found in his later creations. "Flowers of Shanghai" (1998) is adapted from a novel regarding the Qing Dynasty. The context of history is no longer in 1960s Taiwan, but in 19th century Shanghai; it is a new attempt. Unlike other costume dramas, "Flowers of Shanghai" maintains the characteristics of a long take: 130 minutes of film but only 38 shots, and only one subjectively. Through its aesthetic style, he found a new way to make costume film.
Similarly, "The Assassin" is his first attempt at a martial arts film. It continued the usual features of Hou Hsiao-hsien. The film centers on a female assassin, Nie Yinniang, who is in charge of assassinating the ruler, and coincidentally her first love. In the film, the theatricality of the plot is weakened. The inner feelings of the characters are more important, especially the loneliness of Nie Yinniang, "alone, no similar". Hou Hsiao-Hsien removed all the scenes he considered imperfect, weakening its narrative to reach the pinnacle, even leaving the public in a fuzzy feeling after the vision. After all this, Hou Hsiao-hsien does not care. "I'm not saying to go communicate with the public; I do not retain the idea. My idea is that they have their proper vision; the bottom line is my vision," he says. Maybe the spectators who have followed his film career could understand it. In his pursuit aesthetics, the narrative is not really the most important, is it?
The preparation of The Assassin lasted eight years. This is incredible in the industrialization of cinema today. And the continuation of its aesthetic style is destined to a minority of spectators. Hou Hsiao-Hsien is just like his character in the film: "alone, not similar."

How to Get Involved
Passage of a Space Exploration Day Holiday Resolution
It is our goal to establish July 20th of each year as Space Exploration Day. This day will be recognized as a non-paid holiday, with a legal status equal to Flag Day. At this point we will not press to have a paid federal calendar holiday.
In 1984, Congress passed a resolution establishing July 20th of that year, as the Space Exploration Day non-paid commemorative holiday.
Since then, Congress has given the President of the United States, the authority to create non-paid public holidays. The White House receives hundreds of requests for special holidays every year. These ideas are largely viewed by the White House Staff, as being frivolous. So the extensive White House staff tends to reject all suggestions for new holidays, as a matter of policy.
For Space Exploration Day Holiday, it is necessary to have a U.S. Senator, or State Governor, contact the President directly with the proposal. That can also be a slow involved process working with their staffs.
The Space Exploration Day Holiday is unique in that the mission of Apollo 11 was one of the greatest events of the 20th century. With the President promoting space progress, in the next decade, a Space Exploration Day Holiday would serve the President's, and nation's interests very well.
Space Exploration Day, and its related nine day U.S. Space Observance, has a long history of passed congressional resolutions, and Presidential proclamations. Many of the nation's state governors have issued Space Exploration Day and U.S. Space Observance proclamations over the years.
In recent years there has been little activity in this area, due to supporters, especially supporters in the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics becoming worn out, over having to seek governor's proclamations, congressional resolutions, and a presidential proclamation every year. This takes much well coordinated national effort to do this every year. So the current goal is to get the President of the United States to issue an executive order to establish Space Exploration Day non-paid holiday, and its related U.S. Space Observance permanently.
Much can also be done at the state level, to establish a permanent Space Exploration Day non-paid holiday, and a nine day U.S. Space Observance. This can be done through supporters getting legislation passed in state legislatures.
In 1985, the Ohio State Legislature established a permanent July 20th Space Exploration Day non-paid Holiday, and a July 16th 24th Ohio Space Observance. A year earlier, the state of Kansas passed similar permanent legislation, but didn't state it officially as a holiday. Arizona also has a permanent Space Exploration Day, and Arizona Space Observance.
Remember July 16 24 commemorates the nine day Apollo 11 Moon Mission, from launch date to splashdown date. July 20th is the anniversary of the first Moonwalk. It is called Space Exploration Day, due to the anniversary of the 1976 unmanned Viking Mars Landing being on the same date.
All that is needed, in Kansas and Arizona, is a brief resolution stating that the 1984 resolution for a permanent July 20th Space Exploration Day is recognized, and that it is hereby amended to recognize this day as an official non-paid holiday, of a legal status equal to Flag Day. In all other states, except Kansas, and Ohio, a draft resolution needs to be given to a sponsor in the Senate, and House of the State Legislature.
If the resolution gets stuck in committee, get respected members of the community, especially key pro-space Republican or Democratic Party leaders, contacting key legislators, to get the resolution out of committee.
Contact Space Exploration Day Holiday founder, David Baxter, to get information on AIAA sections, and National Space Society chapters in the state, that could help in letter writing campaigns, if necessary.
Once the legislation is passed, follow-up will be important to get the holiday publicly recognized. Send out press releases to radio stations, television stations. Also contact the state's Jaycees, Chambers of Commerce, and merchants associations. Much work needs to be done in Ohio, to make Space Exploration Day Holiday recognized by the general public every year. The legislation in Ohio and Kansas was easy to pass, without opposition.
Send copies of the passed legislation to the states national Senators and Congressmen, to encourage their support for future progress in the Space Program.

Windows Mail doesn't leave copy on gmail server
Hi there. Trying to figure out why Windows Mail is not consistent with receiving mail. I've got three email accounts. One of them is gmail. Each email accounts has the check mark 'leave copy on server'. For two the system works fine (Yahoo Plus and a generic POP account). When I receive mail from gmail, it deletes it on the server even though it's marked to leave a copy on the server. Also, it is set up as POP, not as IMAP. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Windows 8 Pro w/MC 32-bit
You have 2 computers XP and 7. Do you have the same problem on both? If it is only on Win 7 and if you are using the supported client "Windows Live Mail" (not "Windows Mail") then there is a problem with WLM. If that is the case, you could try doing a repair of Windows Live Essentials via Programs and Features. It will repair all the components of Live Essentials you have already installed, including Mail.

Thanks, roncerr for your tip. You are right: the problem is only in the xp version of Windows Live Mail. I am still working on repairing it. Will get back.

Ok. repairing didn't help any. Then I noticed that hours later, the messages show up again. Up to that time, they are invisible. Go figure. I don't know if it's at gmail's end, and the status 'read' or what. I'll work on it some more.

Tendulkar drops to lowest ranking in 15 yearsAugust 13th, 2008 - 5:11 am ICT by ANI
Dubai, Aug 12 (ANI): Indias master batsman Sachin Tendulkar has dropped to his lowest ranking in 15 years in the Reliance Mobile ICC Player Rankings for Test batsmen after a disappointing series against Sri Lanka which concluded in Colombo on Monday.
Tendulkar, who started the series in 13th position, finished in 23rd place after scoring 95 runs at 15.83.
He drops six places after scores of six and 14 in the third and final Test, which Sri Lanka won by eight wickets to clinch the series 2-1.
It is his lowest ranking since late 1992 after spending over 15 years in the top 20 apart from a very brief spell at the end of 2006.
Tendulkar, who is just 76 runs short of becoming the leading run-getter in Test cricket history, last occupied the top batting position six years ago after the 2002 Headingley Test in England.
Tendulkars drop is the only bad news for India batting as others have made good upward progress.
Virender Sehwag became the highest-ranked Indias batsman after returning to the top 10 for the first time since March 2006. Sehwag, who scored an impressive 344 runs in the series, has lifted one place to 10th with Pakistans Yunus Khan firmly within his sights.
VVS Laxman, who scored 25 and 61 not out in the series decider, has climbed three places to 15th position while Rahul Dravid shares 16th place with Englands Alastair Cook.
Dravid improves his position by two places after scores of 10 and 68 while Cook jumps four places following his contribution of 39 and 67 in The Oval Test.
Saurav Ganguly has improved his ranking by one place and now sits in 25th position while opener Gautam Gambhir, who was the second leading run-getter for his side with 310 runs, is in 37th place after jumping 12 places.
For Sri Lanka, Kumar Sangakkara just missed out on reclaiming the top slot from the West Indies Shivnarine Chanderpaul.
Like Tendulkar, South Africas most accomplished batsman Jacques Kallis has also paid the price for a run of bad form by dropping out of the top 10 for the first time since March 2003.
In the Reliance Mobile ICC Player Rankings for Test bowlers, South Africas Makhaya Ntini has swapped places with Englands Ryan Sidebottom who missed the last Test. Ntini had figures of 7-149 which has put him in clear fifth position while Sidebottom has dropped to sixth after losing one per cent of his rating for missing the match.
Englands Monty Panesar has jumped three places to share 10th place with India captain Anil Kumble who has dropped a place following figures of 3-157 in the third Test at Colombo.
Muttiah Muralidaran is still on top of the bowling chart, leading second-placed Australia fast bowler Stuart Clark and third-placed Dale Steyn of South Africa by a comfortable margin.
There is little change in the Reliance Mobile ICC Player Rankings for Test all-rounders with Sri lankas Chaminda Vaas returning to the top five. He has replaced New Zealands Jacob Oram who has slipped to sixth.
The list is still headed by Kallis with New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori second and Flintoff in third place. (ANI)

Largest Jackpot in U.S History College Student Claims $50,000 PowerBall® Ticket
Last night's PowerBall® jackpot rolled for the 19th time, increasing the jackpot amount to an estimated $700 million for Saturday's drawing. This is the largest jackpot in PowerBall® history and also the largest jackpot of any lottery game in U.S history. The cash option is an estimated $428.4 million. Tickets can be purchased up until 9:50pm Saturday night.
Though last night's PowerBall® jackpot was not hit, two winning $50,000 PowerBall® tickets were sold in Rhode Island. The winning tickets matched four numbers and the PowerBall® number to win $50,000. Stop & Shop, 1360 West Main Rd., Middletown, sold one of the winning tickets and 7-Eleven, 7330 Post Rd., North Kingstown, sold the other. Neither player added the PowerPlay® feature for an additional dollar. If they had, the prizes would have been multiplied by 3, last night's PowerPlay® number, to equal $150,000.
Austin Barry of North Kingstown claimed one of the winning $50,000 PowerBall® tickets. He is currently enrolled in college and plays for the school's baseball team. He plans to utilize the money won toward his education and for sports equipment. He purchased the winning ticket at 7-Eleven, 7330 Post Rd., North Kingstown.
The $50,000 PowerBall® ticket sold at Stop & Shop 1360 West Main Rd., Middletown remains unclaimed.

Clearly for You Card
Why, oh why, is stamping so hard some days? I had really good intentions for this card. I pictured a large greeting with some flowers or buttons and a tag. But I just couldn't get it to look right.
So after and hour and a half I basically gave up. I liked the layers on the card – Night of Navy, Brushed Silver, Shimmery White and the Regals Patterns DSP Stack – and the wide Night of Navy grosgrain ribbon with the big bow so I grabbed the Clearly for You stamp set that happened to be on my desk and stamped an image and small greeting that I heat embossed with silver embossing powder.
I think this card turned out alright but it so not what I had thought it would look like when I started. Do you ever have days like this? Please leave me a comment and let me know I'm not alone.
Don't think it, ink it!

Oh, I can relate Dar! It is too cold outside to even think! Some sunshine and warmth would help with the creativity I think! 😉
I really like this card. I am saving several simple cards for my March class and this is going into the folder. Thanks for blessing my day. 🙂
