2011 Family Vacation (Day 3)
Today was a strange day! We woke up this morning and it was really cloudy and kind of raining, with a threat of severe thunderstorms for the afternoon and evening. We waited, and waited, and waited some more…but thankfully it never happened! We got a tiny bit of rain for about 1/2 hour in the late morning/early afternoon and that was it! Before dinner, we decided to take a chance and head to the pool, it was great! It wasn't too hot or too cold and everyone got some energy out. The rest of the evening was gorgeous and the rest of our vacation has nothing but blue skies, sunshine and mid 70's…hello beach!!! Our plan for the rest of our time here is to hang out in the mornings and maybe do a couple of day trips and then spend the afternoons at the beach and on the dunes. I'm excited!!! Here are some pictures from the pool this afternoon.
The last picture is the newest member of the family; my mom's new puppy Murphy. Fun fact: He was born on my Dad's birthday 🙂
See ya tomorrow!!!
2011 Family Vacation (Day 2)
No pictures today, it was another fun day at the beach and on the dunes. Apparently, our sunscreen expired, because the 5 of us are all burned to a crisp. I'm ready for an ice bath and bed 🙂 Hope everyone had a great weekend!!! If you get a chance, read the guest post I did on Back to her Roots; which is an awesome blog you should be reading!!
2011 Family Vacation (Day 1)
Well, we finally moved! I gave myself almost a week of sun up to sun down unpacking and organizing and then Friday morning we left for our annual family vacation to Silver Lake Sand Dunes. Today was our first full day and it was perfect! Not a cloud in the sky, not too hot, not too cold and we spent it hanging out at the beach. Nothing better!!!
All 3 little nuggets are passed out and snoring and as soon as I hit publish, I'll be joining them. Tomorrow is dune day, we'll be taking the Jeep out on the dunes, hanging out at another beach and I'll be doing a little more reading on the sand 🙂
Home Sweet Home
I have been afraid to post this, but with a closing date set for this Friday, I'm pretty certain that after months of doing research, house drive by's, looking at hundreds of houses and a house that passed the home inspection with flying colors…we are moving! We found this house after 2 days of driving by 28 houses and having appointments at 8 of them, this was the last stop. Everything has moved along quickly and if all continue to go well, we start the move this Saturday getting our things out of storage that have been in there for over 3 years (it's going to be like Christmas getting all of it out!) and then our big move will be in a few weeks.
I didn't take a ton of pictures, because after a near 2 hour home inspection, the 3 year old was beyond patient and ready to leave, but I will take more this weekend.
View from front door.
View from kitchen
Hall to bathrooms and full bathroom
Main bathroom
1/2 bathroom (this is by the kitchen and laundry room, off the mud room)
family room that will be the play room and kids domain. We are going to have the majority of the toys in there, with a small TV and DVD player for them, this also has a sliding door to the backyard and then has a small door to get to the garage.
Counting down to moving day!!!
It has been such a long week; my brain hurts. We ended up walking away from the house I posted about the other day. It is possibly in need of a lot of repairs (big repairs like roof, septic, well and wiring) before we would even be able to move in and that's just not something we wanted to do and still pay a lot of money for that house. I did love it, but it was the very first house I saw, so it's ok. We'll find THE house, and I'm hoping it's today!! Now that I have a better idea of what we're looking for and what to avoid, it will be easier… I hope.
So, yes, the hunt is on and in high gear because I don't care if I physically live IN the house yet, I want it to be closed on and an address to give the new school by the first day in September.
Hi, remember me?
Man, it was a crazy 11 days with my sister and her daughter here. We had a lot of fun and I miss her already 😦 While she was here, we are also in the middle of house hunting. There is one that we put a bid on Sunday night and they countered…we countered back and will have a final answer this evening. I'm really trying hard not to get my hopes up, but dang it, I love this house!!!
Keep your fingers crossed for me!!!
Leo's Coney Island
One of my favorite spots to go for breakfast is Leo's Coney Island of White Lake.
They have everything from oatmeal to amazing omelettes with anything you can imagine stuffed inside! The service is fast and friendly, the prices are perfect, and the food is awesome! No matter what I get for breakfast, I've never left disappointed.
Saturday morning my sister, mom and our daughters went to Leo's for breakfast.
I had one of the their breakfast specials, two eggs, sausage and wheat toast. So good!!
Foodbuzz Lunch
When I first started reading healthy living and food blogs I was so in awe of all of the featured publishers and all the goodies they all received from Foodbuzz. Now, that I'm a featured publisher and receive said goodies, it's awesome!! I have been getting loads of freebies and coupons lately, but haven't had a chance to try anything out yet. I was trying to figure out what to make for lunch today and saw the bag of Tyson Grilled & Ready Chicken Breast Strips hanging out in the freezer so I decided to make something with them.
Lunch: Smart & Delicious Wrap, Tyson Grilled & Ready Chicken Breast Strips, Black Beans and I mixed in some green salsa into the beans, topped with a little cheese and put under the broiler until everything was warm and melty.
I was a little worried about the chicken, but it was really good! It had an almost spicy taste to them, but the 3 year old had some and ate without complaint. I don't know how often I'll use these, but it's great for a quick meal!
I also had a bowl of strawberries and blueberries on the side, I could have had this bowl x5, but I restrained myself!
The 3 year old is currently napping, the house is clean and I'm watching old episodes of One Tree Hill; see you for dinner tonight!
Friday Weigh In #1 (5.6.11)
Since I haven't weighed myself in nearly 2 months, I have no idea what my last weight was so this is a jumping off point.
Weight: 208.8
I am so excited, my sister and her daughter are on their way here from California and will be here later this evening, I can't wait!!! The last time she was here was for my Dad's funeral, so it will be nice to have a happy visit this time 🙂 I will be taking her to all my favorite foodie places and hopefully the weather cooperates so we can take the kiddies to the park.
Breakfast: Hope you're not sick of eggs, because I'm not! This morning was a simple egg sandwich and sliced strawberries.
It's been a busy day so far getting everything cleaned up, laundry done, etc. so we can have fun tonight when they get here 🙂
Fun with Picnik
The husband has been trying to teach me how to use Adobe and even harder CS3…I'm a lost cause and can't remember anything and almost kicked the desktop earlier because I was so freaking frustrated! Eventually, I will get the hang of it, but until that happens, I found a new website; Picnik. It's free (but you can pay for premium options) and lets you edit photos, create collages and other fun goodies and it's easy!! I didn't really have anything exciting to talk about tonight, so I did some fun editing with dinner pictures 🙂
Dinner: Egg sandwiches with turkey bacon, broccoli and strawberries.
I have been doing more updates today with not as much info and it's SO much easier than trying to cram an entire day in one post!!!
Here are the original pictures:

Vitamins C and E Prove No Help with Macular Degeneration
It has been realized through clinical trials that taking vitamins C and E do not prevent macular degeneration from happening in aging eyes. This is the main cause for loss of vision in older adults.
Researchers wanted to find that the antioxidants, vitamins E and C would guard the tissue breakdown which macular degeneration causes. This eye problem damages the retina's center. The result is that the person has problems seeing fine details.
Past studies have discovered that individuals who intake more antioxidants as part of their everyday diet can reduce their risk for getting macular degeneration. However, this does not mean that other lifestyle and dietary habits could be part of this link.
Vitamin E Supplementation and Macular Degeneration
Up to now, all the clinical trials on vitamin E have provided no results on this matter. The most recent study happens to also be the one performed the longest and it tested vitamin E with men along with vitamin C by itself according to William G. Christen who is a researchers from Harvard Medical School out of Boston among other establishments. It discovered no favorable results with older men taking either vitamin over an eight-year period.
According to Christen, no single study the last word about what effect vitamins has on macular degeneration. However, so far, the results off no proof that taking vitamins C or E can prevent vision issues from occurring.
The report is in the Ophthalmology journal and is part of ongoing research involving over 14,000 male doctors in the US that are 50 years of age or older. These doctors are assigned at random to take either a placebo or 400 IU (international units) of vitamin E every other day in conjunction with either a placebo or 500mg of vitamin C. This would lead to some men taking both vitamins, some men taking just one of the vitamins or some men taking no vitamins at all.
After the study ran for eight years, there were 193 of the men that developed the macular degeneration to the point that it negatively affected their vision. However, it was almost the same risk whether they took the placebo or the vitamins.
There are approximately 7.2 million individuals in the United States that have macular degeneration on some level, and 890,000 of these people have it on an advanced level. However, there is some proof that new outbreaks of it are decreasing.
Research performed last year shows not even 7% of Americans 40 years old or older have developed macular degeneration. This is a significant decrease compared to the research done during the 1990s, which reported over 9%. Researchers are unclear as to why the decrease happened, but they feel it is tied to the decline in the number of people smoking.
Christen and his team reports that base on current research, vitamins E and C will most likely not have a positive impact on the occurrence of macular degeneration as far as the early-age variety. The researchers do admit the test subjects were basically well-nourished; results could be different with a more mal-nourished group.

I've never met Chrissy Teigen, but I bet she'd be a good hang. She seems like the kind of girl you could kick back with to share a few beers and a good laugh, and indulge in something like this.
What the heck is that, you ask? A corn bread cake, clearly! Invented by Bree Miller of Bree's Cakes, this epic concoction involves layer upon layer of goodness: corn bread and mac 'n' cheese, "iced" with mashed potatoes, topped with fried chicken, and smothered in gravy. With Thanksgiving just around the corner, dare I say a fun biscuit version of this could go over extremely well? Project!
People who don't like the separate foods on their plate to touch might be grossed out by this kind of thing, but I love a good food mashup. (Like, why not make your pasta into a cake?) This particular combination makes for that perfect bite from all the food on your plate without any of the effort of assembly. (Delish)

KSTV's Monday Morning Roundup: Future Looks Brighter, Give Yourself A Hand
A look back at what you might have missed this weekend while you were wondering why ESPN was broadcasting baseball games in Spanish…
You Are Now Free To Believe
For thirty games, the UK basketball season took on the feel of a desperate lover, picking flowers off of a petal, hoping the last pull would result in a feeling of "she loves me". And in game number thirty-one, Kentucky fans were able to walk away feeling warm and comforted as the Cats took care of business and scored their biggest win of the year. Now, with the postseason right around the corner, it feels ok to feel good about this team.
Aside from the dramatic improvement in their bracketology status (UK is now first among the "Last Four In", rather than the seventh team out), the Cats again appeared to take a giant step forward in beating Florida. UK finally responded with their backs against the wall, erasing a seven-point deficit and holding the Gators scoreless in the final 7:32 of the game. Ryan Harrow returned to playing aggressive. Archie Goodwin was efficient in scoring 16. Alex Poythress quietly roared in grabbing 12 boards and Willie Cauley-Stein was brilliant playing with four fouls, single-handedly changing the game over the final four minutes. The Cats scored a win that wasn't just necessary, they did so in a way that seemed to let us all again believe that they've cured their ills.
Of course, putting together two games like that in a row, particularly now that they'll again be away from Rupp Arena, is another challenge entirely, but this team could have folded and no one would have been surprised. After the Georgia game, when morale was as low as it's been all season and when players sounded genuinely defeated, the likelihood of laying an egg against the #11 team in the country was high. So, give the Cats credit. And, go ahead. You can start believing in this team again.
Pat Yourself On The Back photo above courtesy of UKAthletics.com
When UK associate athletic director Dewayne Peevy reported Sunday night that UK had secure it's eighth-straight national attendance title (the 17th in the last 18 years), it seemed a fitting salute to a group that deserved so much recognition after Saturday's victory. The crowd at Rupp over the weekend was as furiously supportive as it's been at any point this season and it made a tremendous difference in propelling UK to victory, much like against Missouri two weeks ago.
Just like that Missouri game, where UK was returning after a disappointing defeat that left their NCAA Tournament hopes on life support, the Rupp faithful chose to put frustrations and a season's worth of anxiety aside to give it all they had for one afternoon. For a young team, especially one whose psyche was fragile at best, that support was a catalyst. The Cats fought from the tip and when calls weren't going their way in the first half, they didn't wilt. The kept feeding off of the crowd and kept battling the Gators. In the end, Kentucky picked up a huge victory and Big Blue Nation again proved why it's the greatest group of fans on the planet.
SEC Tournament Draw Favorable
Because of the Kentucky win and a couple of odd finishes in the last week of the season, the Cats actually pickd up a pretty favorable draw in the SEC Tournament. UK enters as the two-seed and won't play until Friday night at 7:30pm against the winner of Arkansas and Vanderbilt. The Razorbacks will most likely emerge from that game, giving the Cats a shot at revenge Saturday night. Arkansas is a very, very different team away from Bud Walton and UK will undoubtedly be a favorite. Waiting for the Cats in the next round will likely be either Missouri or Ole Miss – neither of whom is particulalry daunting. Ole Miss is, at best, overrated. Missouri, while a tough matchup for UK, is only 5-10 away from Columbia. From there, it's likely a rematch with Florida and, regardless of results, an NCAA Tournament appearance that doesn't start in the play-in game in Dayton.
Postseason Awards Coming Tuesday
The SEC postseason awards will be announced Tuesday morning and, aside from Freshman of the Year, UK will likely be shut out. Had Nerlens Noel gone down with a torn ACL, he'd likely be the choice for Player of the Year and, honestly, he probably still has a case. Instead, we'll see probably the worst-ever Player of the Year from a BCS conference. There's a possible case to be made for John Calipari as SEC Coach of the Year (as Cats Illustrated's T.J. Walker did on Twitter), but Cal probably won't be taking home the hardware. Instead, UK will have to just settle for pounding everyone in Nashville.
A Glimpse Into The Hiring Process
When you look at where the fan support for UK footbal is now, as opposed to where it was at the end of the Joker Phillips era and during the hiring process, it's quite remarkable. The prevailing voice of the UK football fan was once that was angry and unquestionably unhappy with the direction of the program, as well as the athletic director. Today, it seems like a distant memory as fans excitedly prepare for the first season of Mark Stoops.
And that's what makes this article from the Louisvilel Courier-Journal's Kyle Tucker so interesting. Tucker, through an open records request, looks back through Mitch Barnhart's emails during the hiring process and uncovers some pretty interesting things. First, there were a lot of angry emails, some calling for his job. Not too surprising. Second, it revealed that Barnnhart had someone screening them for him, so he could remain focused on the search. But maybe the most interesting portion of Tucker's story is the involvement of former Kentucky governor John Y. Brown Jr.
Brown sent Barnhart an email pushing for former University of Miami and Cleveland Browns head coach Butch Davis to be considered for the job, despite Davis' recent resignation from North Carolina during a scandal. When Brown did not receive a response from Barnhart, he went to board of trustees Chairman Britt Brockman, who took the matter to UK president Eli Capilouto. Ultimately, nothing came of Brown's urging, but it is interesting because it's the closest the former governor has come to being a pusher since Drew Thornton died smuggling cocaine in 1985.
Yes, that was a Bluegrass Conspiracy joke. It is what it is.
The Greatest Glamour Shot Ever Taken
Everyone remembers the Ashley Judd poster (here it is). And if you don't, I'm sure you'll see plenty of it once she announces that she'll be running against Mitch McConnell. Well, that brings us to UK football fan David Schmidt, who submitted this provocative photo to show he's ready for spring football.
Congratulations, David. You not only won over our hearts and made us wonder if UK's official colors should be blue and pasty white. You're also the winner of this year's first-ever KSTV Thighsman Trophy. Well done.
DeMarcus Cousins Ejected Again
Former Cat DeMarcus Cousins again made headlines in the wrong way Sunday night as he was ejected from the Kings' game with the Milwaukee Bucks after he elbowed Mike Dunleavy Jr. in the back of the head. It was Cousins' fourth ejection of the season and his two technicals now put him at 13 for the season. When a player receives his 16th technical foul, he is suspended for one game. You can check out the video below where Cousins was undercut by Dunleavy and, according to reports, was hit in the lower abdomen a play later. The elbow came on the next play.
In the words of Nas, "Don't start none, won't be none."
On a somewhat related note, I used to have a recurring nightmare in high school that everyone thought I was Mike Dunleavy Jr. Everywhere I went, people called me Mike and asked me about Duke basketball. It was as strange as it was horrifying. In the twelve years since, the dream has gone away. Tonight, though, I'm afraid to go to sleep. Thanks, Mike.
RIP Brandon Knight
If you got onto Twitter late Sunday night and saw that "RIP Brandon Knight" was trending worldwide, your heart probably skipped a beat. The good news? Brandon Knight is alive and well. The bad news? DeAndre Jordan just put him on every NBA highlight reel for the next 20 years.
Good effort, though. Unfortunately, it's going to get lost in 1,000 internet memes like this one and this one.!
Madison Central Wins State, Hawkins Could Become A Cat
After trailing by 16 points in the third quarter, Madison Central finished off an incredible comeback against Ballard, winning the state title on a three-pointer by Ken-Jah Bosley with 5 seconds on the clock. KSTV was at Rupp Arena Sunday and caught the game-winner, which concluded one of the most entertaining Sweet Sixteens in the tournament's history. Here's Bosley's game-winner.
And while Bosley was the last-second hero, it was senior guard Dominique Hawkins who emerged as the Sweet Sixteen's superstar, finishing with 107 points in the four games, good for twelfth-most all-time. With John Calipari and Orlando Antigua watching every game, Hawkins has emerged as a likely member of UK's 2013 recruiting class, though that likely won't be sorted out for quite awhile. The Cats will wait to see how their roster situation sorts out in the coming weeks as players opt to go to the NBA and the remaining trio of Andrew Wiggins, Julius Randle and Aaron Gordon pick their schools. However, most experts believe Hawkins will eventually end up in the blue and white.
It's an impressive turnaround for a player rated by Scout.com as a two-star prospect and who entered the tournament with offers from only Tennessee Tech and Western Kentucky. At the opening round, I talked with a basketball scout about Hawkins, who said, "I like him a lot, but I'm not sure how much I like him at Kentucky." After a four-game stretch of carrying his team, Hawkins seems to have emerged as a near-lock to suit up for what he called his "dream" school. Not bad at all.
Be sure to watch KSTV Monday as we look ahead to the SEC Tournament with Dave "Buzz" Baker and listen to the phone calls you left on my voicemail following the win over Florida.

Our Story
Scrap In Style TV is the result of a dream…a really big dream, like a "I'm gonna run for senator someday" kind of dream. It was something I really never thought would actually happen. Developing and hosting a TV show that combines my passion for scrapbooking, with (ok, confession time) my love of performing and being in front of the camera? Impossible! I mean I'm 36 years old, I have five children, I thought my life was pretty well set out before me. But here we are, almost three years after the idea was first offered up by my husband, Bob. Yep, here we are and it is real, and it has turned out exactly how I envisioned it would be. I mean it's taken some turns and evolved a lot from its original conception, but now it's become exactly what I would personally want from a show like this. Yeah, it's crafty and everything, but it's also part reality show and part talk show. You got your education, your information AND (hopefully) your entertainment. I promise that you're not just going to sit there and watch me make stuff all the time. I mean, you can watch yourself make stuff, right? You don't need to watch me do it! Well, not all the time, anyway. You're going to see things that are centered around the scrapbooking lifestyle…like interviews with popular designers, fun challenges that you can take with your friends, and even watching a piece of paper go from an idea to the foundation of a memory evoking piece of art. When it came time to start pitching the show to networks, I just kept having this nagging feeling that as soon as a network picked up the show, it would change. Like I would lose creative control and end up having to produce something that I wasn't completely proud of. I just knew that I had a strong vision for it, and I would be devastated if I had to sway too far from it. I needed to do something to ensure that didn't happen. With the popularity of YouTube.com and OnDemand television programming, it seemed obvious that Web based TV was the wave of the future. People can watch whenever they want, commercial free and as often as they like. And a niche show like this seemed a perfect candidate for this new kind of programming. Offering what we are calling the "Lo Fi" version of the show on the web, we hope to create awareness and popularity of it to the public in it's pure format. That way if a cable network were to come along with interest, they can see that our format has already been proven to some extent via the Internet and they would allow us to retain creative control. So for now we are producing everything ourselves. There's no big studio or cable network backing us and telling us what products we have to feature or how long each episode needs to be. It's total creative freedom, which is kind of the point of this show to begin with!
Our Philosophy
PLEASE, do not let the whole "in Style" thing intimidate or scare you. "Style" is all about being confident in who you are and how you express that. It's not about using the trendiest techniques or just emulating someone else's expression of themselves (don't get me wrong, I'm all about finding inspiration through others, but ultimately, you want to take that inspiration and put your own twist on it so that it becomes yours.) Don't be afraid of the creative choices you want to make…no one will judge you here. I have a friend who once said, "You know, I just want to be able to use Suzy's Zoo stickers on a page once in a while without people making fun of me!" Well darn it, we don't ever want people to feel like that here! I'm not trying to create some elitist clique of scrapbookers. High school is over people! My biggest hope is that you come here and feel welcomed by our design team and the other SISters. Whether you have been scrapbooking for half your life or you just got your first roll of film developed in ten years and thought you might try preserving them in some way, the point is to get you excited about creating. Period. I truly believe that we are all driven to create in some way. Now, this may offend some people, but I want to be true to who I am here, and when someone says to me "Oh, I'm just not creative." I respond to them by saying, "I believe that we were all created in the image of God. God created the universe, so how can you say you're not creative?" That's just simple algebra! If a=b and b=c, then a=c, or whatever…I was never really good at algebra. But you get my point, right? Keeping memories is important, and doing it with style is important too, because when you apply your style to your pages, they are going to mean so much more to you and to the generations after you.
Our Website
I have to say that ScrapInStyleTV.com is one cool website…(can I say that without sounding like I'm bragging? I don't mean to brag, it's not like I designed or programmed it…I'm just making an observation. 🙂 ) Once you've become a registered "SISter", you will develop your personal profile. After that, you can upload your work and photos in public or private portfolios, get tips from our amazing design team, "The Fashionistas", send private messages to other SISters, keep track of your "favorite SISters" and their work, see who has left comments on your layouts and other work, and of course shop for unique scrapbooking products, many of which are exclusive to SIS TV. You're going to find features here that you probably haven't seen anywhere else. We surveyed a lot of people to find out exactly what they wanted from a website of this nature and tried to implement as many of those ideas as possible (I mean we did have a deadline and I'm also not independently wealthy, but we did our best. ?) This thing is SO user friendly, it's crazy. Every thumbnail pops up to a larger image just by rolling over it, and if you click on the thumbnail you'll get an even bigger image. Uploading stuff is a breeze, everything is laid out plain and clear. That's just the tip of the iceberg. It all just makes SO much sense. Don't take my word for it, go play around and I'm sure you'll be impressed (but don't leave just yet, I have more things to tell you!)
Our Community
The Scrap In Style TV is a community of "SISters" (How cute is that? Sorry guys, but we'll try to make up a name just for you.) It's a place where you will be inspired, challenged, encouraged, and motivated to rock your photos! We like to think of it like one big family, hence the name "SISters". (We're not all creepy or cultish or anything, it's just a cute name so we all feel warm and fuzzy and who doesn't want that? Ok, well that person we'll just refer to as "User".) Over the last few years the online scrapbooking community has become an incredible entity. It's huge, diverse and pretty powerful. It's not always nice, though. When you have a hobby that is made up of 99% women, some claws are going to come out. (I'm not trying to betray my gender or anything, but you have to admit it's kind of true). I SO don't want that to happen here. I don't mean to be all Pollyanna and stuff, but we are really just about encouraging people in their scrapbooking journey and life in general. No haters allowed! 🙂 They don't call me "Big SISter" for nothing…it's not ONLY because I'm sweet and kind and nurturing…it's also because I'm on these boards a lot, interacting just like you and I'm always watching out for everyone. I'm all for free expression and sharing opinions, but I'm more for people being kind and if I see those two things in conflict or if I am alerted to things on the boards that don't fit in with the mission of this company, I will delete the message and then call you on the phone and sing "Why Can't We Be Friends" by War at the top of my lungs. Trust me, you don't want that. So play nice. I don't want to be all Castro-ish and stuff but I can't in good conscience allow something hateful or mean to be directed at one of my SISters on the website that's attached to my name, you know? We all need to vent at times, but we can be constructive with it, can't we?..Oh, they're totally gonna post about this on the mean blogs, huh? *sigh*
Our Boutique
OK, you've probably noticed that everything around here has a fashion or style moniker. I just really like themes, and making up fun names to go with the themes. Actually, our online store is like a real boutique in a lot of ways. Many of our products are exclusive to our site. Our Designer paper collections are limited editions and will only be run one time unless otherwise noted. Some of our "collections" are hand selected by the Featured Designer for that month, and some of the designers have even designed product especially for SIS TV and will only be available here, for a limited time. You'll also find some smaller lines that you may not see much of in your local scrapbooking store. We're scouring the Internet to find the best new products out there that you may never have heard of. We also manufacturer a lot of our own products, which allows us to purchase quality items but sell them at a reasonable price since we've eliminated the middle man (no offense, LSS' it's just business). 🙂 When you become a premium member, you're buying a pretty sweet package. Your first kit is included in the price, as well as a bunch of other stuff which really makes it a "no brainer". For example, right now with an annual Premium Membership for $64.95, you're getting the Kelli Crowe Designer Collection, a 12×12 leather Anthologie Album (formerly called Bay Box) from Scrapworks, and a quilted fleece bag embroidered with the SIS TV logo. Plus, if you ever buy any of the future collections, not only do you get to reserve your next Designer Collection a week before they go on sale, you will also receive $2 off every Designer Collection that you buy for the duration of your membership. In addition we're giving you 10% off all other Boutique purchases, plus you'll be automatically upgraded to premium shipping for free which will get you your stuff a little quicker. (But the coolest thing is that your photo thumbnail in the galleries and message boards is going to be all special and stuff. You'll see. (wink, wink) Ok, maybe that's not the coolest thing, but it is cool. I want to stress one major thing about the Premium Membership: it does not obligate you to ever buy a Designer Collection or anything else from the boutique. It's simply a special membership to the website and boutique with lots of cool perks. We aren't going to automatically send you a Collection if you forget to tell us you don't want one… we're not trying to be one of those CD/DVD clubs or anything, where they suck you in with a great deal at the beginning and then force you to buy overpriced products for the next two years. Most people hate that, and I would never offer that… I only try to offer things that I personally feel are great deals. In fact I was the kid in the neighborhood who had a Kool-Aid stand where it was buy one get one free! Not to mention the fact that when Kool-Aid went on sale for $.05 each, I somehow computed that to be 50 packs for $1 but I was too embarrassed to put any back when the cashier gave me my total. (You can see why one, that wasn't the most profitable summer of my Kool-Aid empire, and two, my siblings and I had permanent Kool-Aid mustaches for the next two years after that.) All I'm saying is that I try to make the best deals I possibly can for everyone.

Gluten-free or celiac? I hope the former, so you can still have bread lying around! I love a good sandwich, and you have lots of my favorite ingredients - avocado, tomato, onion, cucumber... throw some sprouts on that and it's amazing!ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh, oops, she's definitely celiac so I wanna keep gluten out of the house as much as possible. it wouldn't be the worst thing for me, either.Delete
I always forget about sprouts but you're right, they add a lot of flavor and texture.
I love a good sandwich, and all three look amazing! I love that new GT's flavor! I can only find it at Whole Foods though. I hope Haxan makes a new friend!ReplyDeleteReplies
Yeah, I hadn't seen that GT's before. maybe it'll start to show up at more places.Delete
The cats are slowly getting used to each other...
I'm on a tofurky kick myself of late. Why is it so good?ReplyDeleteReplies
Right? I try not to buy it often but saw it was on sale...Delete
Your sandwiches look so nice and thick and bite-worthy. You have a real knack for combining appealing ingredients! I found GT's gingerade kombucha (my favorite flavor) at Costco last week, and we indulged in a six-pack.ReplyDeleteReplies
I think the gingerade and cranberry ones are my favorite flavors.Delete

Damn those are fine looking sandwiches! I quite gluten in the fall and have been basically making sandwiches with rice paper wrappers, which I guess makes them like a burrito or a salad roll... kinda miss the square parcel but the gluten free bread offerings in this town suck and I'm too lazy right now to make my own. Two black cats!! Hope they become best friends!ReplyDelete
Those are some impressive Sandwiches. And they stay together so neatly even though there is so much stuff in them.ReplyDelete
Is that the peppered turkey? I always go hickory. Bought the bologna on a whim and I'm on the fence, but 89 is all googly eyes over them.ReplyDelete

Hi bees, I need your help. I'm going to come out and say it, I don't love my ring. Of course I'll never tell that to my fiancé. He had it custom made. But to me it looks like a three stone (past, present, future) which for me I just don't love. Anyway, the issue I now have is NO wedding bands fit flush with it and we don't want to spend the money to custom fit one.
So the trend to stack rings is perfect, yet can I stack with a ring like this? I feel I only see stacks with solitaires? Opinions and pictures of your stacks welcome! Thanks!

Englewood has long been in need of a community center but with scarce resources and land available for such a facility. The objective of the Community Center Task Force is to not only try to achieve a physical facility over the long term but to make an attempt to identify existing venues and spaces in the City that can serve the programming and service goals of a community center immediately without having to wait for the physical structure of a community center to come on line. The task Force is charged with making a report to the Mayor.
In late 2008 the Council issued a Request for Proposal (a "RFP) to determine options for the development of the Liberty School for a residential housing project vs. a privately funded performing arts school, community programs and/or other community uses. The RFP also was to examine uses for the Wright Arena, including alternative uses. At the time, I strongly opposed the study because the RFP was flawed. For example, the study was to examine alternative uses for the Liberty School and to assess its physical condition. I argued at the time that any study for the Liberty school must fully address the community needsand the economic impact of alternative uses such a performing arts school for our school children and adults. At the time, private individuals were considering donations in the millions of dollars for the purchase of the School with the mission to keep this historical building in place to serve our community. Several council members (representing the majority of the council, but not all) wanted to sell the property for $6.5 million for residential housing, the amount the City paid for the property in 2003. One problem with the Council's decision, the property was never worth $6.5 million then or now. The second problem, bergenPAC offered to match any bona fide offer from any other purchaser, dollar for dollar, but the then Council President denied to hold any meeting to discuss this opportunity. The majority of the City Council then hired the consultant for the purposes of issuing a report to identify a partial or full demolition of the Liberty School to make way for residential housing. After a one year delay, the report was issued. The report concluded that residential housing was not economically feasible and recommended to the Council that consideration should be given to the performing arts school or other community services.
I strongly opposed a residential house project on this site. The Committee will review findings of this report in connection with the mission and goals of the Committee.
The zoning of the City of Englewood is the process by which certain areas of the City are designated for certain uses, such as retail, residential, commercial or light industrial. If you took a quick drive around our city you could probably easily tell which areas were designated for which purpose. This is the result of careful planning and enforcement on the part of both the Planning Board and the Board of Adjustment, which work at different aspects of the same goal – the physical character and use of the city. The Board of Adjustment, unlike the Planning Board through, handles zoning appeals, requests for interpretation and one time changes or variances from the zoning ordinances. There are seven members and two alternates are appointed by the Mayor who are then confirmed by the City Council. Terms of office are two years or four years depending on the member position. The meetings begin at 8:00 pm and are held at Municipal Court 73 South Van Brunt Street.

Lindsay sexy costumes cheap Lohan Wore 'Lingerie and Some Form of Animal Ears'
It's been more than ten years since sexy costumes cheap Lindsay Lohan's character in Mean Girls uttered sexy lingerie China the words that would terrify mothers of teenagers forever: "Halloween is the one night a year where you can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it," and then, "The hardcore girls just wear lingerie and some form of animal ears."

An exercise in Anglo-American cooperation is to give the world its second ''talking satellite'' that relays spoken messages to the ground using speech synthesis.
The project, involving a team of university researchers from England, also challenges the belief that space technology is the province only of the aerospace industry giants.
The satellite will be built for about one-thirtieth of the cost of a conventional craft constructed by industry, using cheap components and a workforce whose main attributes are enthusiasm and a willingness to put in long hours.
A group of some 20 engineers from the University of Surrey in Guilford, near London, will construct the vehicle, a more advanced form of a Surrey satellite that has been in orbit for two years.
One feature common to both satellites is their speech-synthesis circuitry. An electronic mechanism sends spoken messages that people on the ground can tune into.
NASA has informed the Surrey team that it will take the new vehicle into space for no charge on board a rocket due to lift off next March. The British satellite, called UOSAT-2, will hitch a ride with a Delta rocket launching a replacement for the US's ailing remote-sensing craft, Landsat 4.
The new British craft will provide a novel service to radio amateurs. The satellite will contain an electronic memory that stores messages sent from the personal computers of radio enthusiasts around the world.
The memory will act as a ''mailbox in the sky,'' releasing the messages in radio signals when the satellite is passing over specific parts of the globe.
In this way, computer hobbyists will be able to swap messages with people in virtually any part of the world. Although the satellite is not intended to offer anything like a full service, in time this technique could prove a cheaper way of exchanging data than does the conventional telecommunications system.
The space vehicle will also continue the role of the first Surrey satellite in sending to earth the sound of a human voice. In the first vehicle, circuitry containing the sound of about 100 English words converts into speech form information about the performance of the spacecraft. This information is sent to Earth, where the signals can be picked up by a cheap radio receiver.
On the second spacecraft, the Surrey engineers plan to expand the vocabulary of the speech unit by a factor of three. And they hope to incorporate circuitry that gives spoken messages a British accent. The speech unit on the current space vehicle has a pronounced American drawl because it is based on chips built by Texas Instruments.
Martin Sweeting, the leader of the Surrey team, regularly tunes into the ''speaking spacecraft'' with a lightweight receiver while working in his yard. He has also listened into the speech unit while on holiday in the Himalayas.
Some 2,000 receiving stations around the world regularly obtain information from the first spacecraft, which, besides talking, collects data about the Earth's magnetic field and radiation levels in space.
Many of these receiving stations are schools and colleges which use the signals from the spacecraft (which another NASA rocket launched in October 1981) as way to teach pupils about engineering.
The Surrey project will also test cheaper ways of constructing satellites. UOSAT-2 is to be built with a budget of (STR)350,000 ($525,000), as opposed to the (STR)10 million ($15 million) or so that a conventional spacecraft of similar weight (60 kilograms) would cost.
Part of the reason for the difference in cost is that the vehicle will be constructed by engineers at the university, and they are paid less than their counterparts in industry.
Further, the team will cut corners by using relatively inexpensive components. Sweeting thinks a lot of today's space hardware is costly simply because people have grown used to satellite projects consuming vast sums of money.
For example, an aerospace firm quoted a price of (STR)15,000 for the honeycomb material used in the structure of the first spacecraft. Sweeting ''shopped around'' and bought similar material normally used in train doors. The new material cost just (STR)300 - and seems to have worked as well.
The University of Surrey team hopes to recoup the construction cost of the UOSAT 2 from donations from friendly industrialists and from organizations for radio enthusiasts.

Heidelberg Hosts Anicolor Event
Thursday, July 09, 2009
Press release from the issuing companyKennesaw, Ga. -- Heidelberg USA's small format demo center in Buffalo Grove, IL recently hosted an Open House for printers interested in learning about the Heidelberg Speedmaster 52 press with Anicolor. The event was the second in a series of seven open houses to be held this calendar year at the Buffalo Grove facility, which functions as Heidelberg USA's small-format printing demonstration center.
"We were immensely pleased with the generous turnout for this open house," said Tom McTernan, regional vice president. "Heidelberg experts were on hand to answer numerous questions about the totally unique Anicolor press, a tailor-made solution for print shops looking to deliver offset quality at highly attractive margins for short runs. With our customers' help, we look forward to building an even stronger case for Anicolor during upcoming events."
Bill Runde, chairman of Commercial Printers, Inc. in Pompano Beach, FL, came to the Open House in Buffalo Grove to evaluate the Speedmaster 52 with Anicolor as a replacement for the company's existing Heidelberg GTO perfecting press. "We were very impressed with the fast setup times, low waste and print quality of the Anicolor machine. We'll definitely be taking a second look."
Offset Quality for the Shortest Runs
The Speedmaster SM 52's revolutionary Anicolor Inking Unit is the small business printer's answer to shrinking print runs. Dramatically shorter setups mean users can print more high-quality jobs each day at lower cost.
"You can't argue with five-minute makereadies and a maximum of just 50 sheets needed to come up to color on a 4-color job," said Dan Ellis, president and co-owner of C&S Press in Orlando, FL, which selected a 4-color Speedmaster SM 52 with Anicolor inking unit over several digital options it had been evaluating. "That's a savings of 350 sheets over a typical conventional 4-color makeready, and it's a huge benefit to us in terms of client satisfaction and higher profitability."
Not only does Heidelberg Anicolor technology offer the advantages of offset for the shortest of print runs, it also stands up favorably to competitive short-run, nonvariable, digital printing solutions. "We don't spend more than $20,000 per month for consumables on any one of our existing offset presses," Ellis said, "and we weren't about to start."
This series of open houses underscores Heidelberg's steadfast commitment to supporting and developing the small-format market, evident in the recent "birthday" of the Printers Advantage Program. Free to join, www.printersadvantage.com <http://www.printersadvantage.com> offers its members a set of offers, information and business solutions specifically addressing the needs of the small business printer. Likewise, Heidelberg's U.S. manufacturing plant for the Printmaster QM 46 in Sidney, Ohio is underway, with the first American-built machine to ship in August.

The 8 Most Annoying People at the Party
1. The Friend of the Girl You Want to Bone
Also known as the C**kblocker, this girl will not let you get a moment alone with your target no matter how bad she actually wants to be alone with you. How fun can it be to go to a party and spend the entire time uptight and trying to keep an eye on other people? In the right situations I like to try and pull a bait-and-switch and end up with the c**kblocker by the end of the night.
2. The Non-Drinker
This guy is just a drag to talk to. He isn't even the designated driver, and he probably got dragged kicking and screaming to the party, because he had better plans for his friends that night. You approach him and say a friendly "Hey, what's up man?" and he gives you a boring reply and complains about something going on at the party. This guy needs to get a beer funnel duct taped to his face and fast.
3. The Guy Who Came With the Hot Girl, Just as Friends
This is a whole different type of c**kblocker, and what makes it even worse is that because of him, neither one of you are going to be getting any of that tonight. He will run around making sure she has anything she needs, and making sure that nobody tries to hit on her, because he "loves her like a sister", meanwhile sneaking a glimpse at her rack every time she bends over, and counting down until he can go home and pleasure himself to the thought. Someone has the wrong idea of brotherly love.
4. The Ridiculously Drunk Girl
Who knows what is going in this particular girls life at the time, but tonight she got way too hammered and everyone around her has to see and deal with the consequences. She will say rude things to other groups of girls, knock things over, cry, fall down and lose her cell phone. Her only redeeming quality is her inhibitions are way lowered, so if you don't see any vomit in her hair, go in for the kill soldier!
5. The Guy Who Acts Drunker Than He Really Is
This is way worse than the ridiculously drunk girl, since she at least has an excuse for acting that way, but this guy, usually a freshman or just young guy drinks a few beers, and walks around telling people "Whoa, I'm sooooo totally wasted man, I can't even see straight, how about you? No way you can be as wasted as meeeee!" Shut this guy off from any more beer and see how long it takes to reveal his real level of sobriety.
6. The Guy Who Shows His Balls During Beer Pong
He calls it a psyche out, I call it a gross out. This is unacceptable at an all male Beer Pong table. Ladies, you are always welcome to expose any body part you like to distract the other team.
7. The Guy Who Throws Up and Can't Even Make it to the Toilet
I have long passed the stage of throwing up, but I'm pretty confident that if I had to, I could certainly make it to a bathroom. This not only adds unwanted stress to the person hosting the party, but can ruin expensive furniture and cause crowds to gather effectively ruining the party entirely.
8. The Guy/Girl That Wants to Talk to You About "Important" World Issues
Look, I understand they are halfway through their first semester of college, and think that their ideas are totally going to change the world, because no one has ever thought of a way to save the animals/rainforest/whales/sea monkeys/dodo bird before, but is this really the appropriate time? I have a beer in my hand. There are great sets of boobs everywhere and the music rocks, but I will give you directions to the closest craft store so you can buy some poster board and magic markers. Then you can make a sign and stand on a street where there might be someone who cares.
We hope you enjoyed this The 8 Most Annoying People at the Party article! Like us on Facebook!

Ante-Nicene Fathers, Vol VIII:Early Church Fathers Index Previous Next
Pseudo-Clementine Literature.: Chapter LX
Chapter LX.—The Creator the Supreme God.
Then Peter said: "You represent him as weak enough. For if, as you say, he is more powerful than all, it can never be believed the weaker wrenched the spoils from the stronger. 667 Or if God the Creator was able by violence to bring down souls into this world, how can it be that, when they are separated from the body and freed from the bonds of captivity, the good God shall call them to the sufferance of punishment, on the ground that they, either through his remissness or weakness, were dragged away to this place, and were involved in the body, as in the darkness of ignorance? You seem to me not to know what a father and a God is: but I could tell you both whence souls are, and when and how they were made; but it is not permitted to me now to disclose these things to you, who are in such error in respect of the knowledge of God." Then said Simon: "A time will come when you shall be sorry that you did not understand me speaking of the ineffable power." Then said Peter: "Give us then, as I have often said, as being yourself a new God, or as having yourself come down from him, some new sense, by means of which we may know that new God of whom you speak; for those five senses, which God our Creator has given us, keep faith to their own Creator, and do not perceive that there is any other God, for so their nature necessitates them."

Rick Ross Announces Ninth Studio Album "Rather You Than Me" For Early 2017
Rick Ross was among the hip-hop royalty present at tonight's American Music Awards. He entered the red carpet donning a black sweatshirt that read, "RATHER YOU THAN ME," which he soon revealed to be the title of his next album, the follow-up to Black Market, released almost a year ago. During the award show, Ross would join DJ Khaled, Nicki Minaj, Future, and August Alsina for a performance of "Do You Mind," their collaborative single off Khaled's Major Key album.
Also during the show, Rozay would go on to announce his new album on his social media pages. In a video clip posted to Twitter, he revealed that he plans to release Rather You Than Me in early 2017. He also warned his fans, "There will be bloodshed." In that clip plays his newly released track "Kyrie." The album will also likely include his new single, "Buy Back the Block," featuring 2 Chainz and Gucci Mane.
Later, Ross also shared the title and some artwork on his Instagram, with a simple caption "no.9."

|Lost Boys of Sudan raise awareness in Ohio
by Kim Miller
(Washington, D.C.) May 13, 2011 — Recently I had the opportunity to join St. Ignatius High School in Cleveland for a special "Refugee Awareness Day" held on campus. This event was the product of a few months' planning with SIHS' dedicated staff who believe in the importance of spreading awareness of refugee issues to their students. Overall, the day was a great success, and the students walked away informed and energized to address refugee issues on local and international levels.
In the days leading up to the event and as I planned out my keynote speech, I spent a while thinking about what I hoped the students would gain from the day. The word "Awareness" came to me loud and clear; after all, what would a Refugee Awareness Day be without spreading some awareness? So I outlined some of the gritty realities of refugee life—the abysmal conditions of refugee camps and urban poverty, the difficult decisions of what to pack when forced to flee, the enormity of the problem. Did you know the amount of displaced people in the world roughly equates to the ENTIRE populations of OH, TN, WV, KY, MI, and PA? 43 million is no small number!
Sometimes though, I feel I could share story after story, startling statistic after startling statistic, and still not shake people to their core. That, I believe, is the gift of one's own story. For this reason, I was grateful that two Sudanese Lost Boys joined us for the event and shared their journeys with students. As both men humbly offered their experiences of fleeing home at the mere ages of five and nine years old, I noticed the students' body language change.
Many faces were marked in disbelief. It is one thing to hear, "Life is difficult for a refugee!" and another to hear the man standing in front of you recount the times he relied on mud as his source of water, fled from not only bullets, but lions and pythons, and innocently wondered why the dead boys surrounding him were sleeping so long. Even as I listened, I couldn't help thinking about the miracle of his survival and wondering if I possessed the fierce strength required to persevere against all odds.
Not all of the stories were grim, and Daniel, one of the Lost Boys, made sure to point out the graces of the lives the students were currently living. "You have it so good here in the U.S! Don't take it for granted!" he urged. Daniel then marveled over the prevalence of American gyms because in Sudan, there was no luxury of intentionally sweating out those excess calories.
As the day wound down, I was filled with great hope. Awareness had truly been shared, and many students spoke of their desires to do something about that newfound awareness. Whether their actions are as simple as sharing a story they learned or engaging in direct actions, I am confident that seeds for a more hopeful future were planted that day.
A special thanks goes out to the staff at SIHS for organizing the Refugee Awareness Day, and I hope that it is the first of many in the future!
To host your own Refugee Awareness day on your campus, in your parish, or in your community, please contact Kim Miller at kmiller (at) Jesuit.org for planning resources.

Dubinsky KO'd as Devils defeat Rangers
The New York Rangers made too many mistakes and played with too little emotion, and the New Jersey Devils made the team at the top of the NHL standings pay for both.
The Devils hit the Rangers hard, dropped the gloves for two fights in the first period, and took over in the third when David Clarkson and Ryan Carter scored 1:54 apart to wake up New Jersey's slumbering offense and carry the club to a 4-1 victory on Tuesday night.
"They hated us tonight," Rangers forward Brian Boyle said. "They wanted to kill us, and we need to match that. In stretches we did, but we need to take a look in the mirror — everyone individually. It's understanding as a group that we disappointed ourselves."
Ill-timed penalties and costly turnovers have crept into the Rangers' game recently as they have stretched their lead in the Eastern Conference by managing to salvage at least one point in many games in which they didn't play particularly well.
A win Sunday over Boston vaulted New York to the top of the NHL standings, but subpar play against the Devils hurt.
"We gathered ourselves in the second period … but then there were just some details, some turnovers that were just ridiculous that cost us the game," Rangers coach John Tortorella said.
Turnovers in the first and third periods led to go-ahead goals by New Jersey's Ilya Kovalchuk and Clarkson.
Kovalchuk put New Jersey in front 1-0 just 49 seconds in, and Clarkson tipped Petr Sykora's drive to give the Devils the lead for good 2:27 into the third. Martin Brodeur made 25 saves for the Devils, who faced the Rangers in the midst of three games against the New York Islanders in the span of a week that started with a 1-0 loss Sunday.
New Jersey had been shut out in two of its previous four games, including a road loss to the Rangers.
"We were desperate for the points," Kovalchuk said of the Devils (37-24-5), sixth in the Eastern Conference. "This can give us a lot of confidence."
Carter pushed New Jersey ahead by two at 4:21 with his third of the season, and first since Nov. 19 — a 37-game drought. Patrik Elias made it 4-1 by scoring into an empty net with 1:53 left.
Carter also fought Brandon Dubinsky in the first period, a bout that knocked the Rangers forward out of the game with a hand injury. Cam Janssen took on hulking John Scott later.
"Carter went out there early and fought … and Janssen, as well. That's another reason why we won," Clarkson said. "We didn't back down.
"Those two weren't fighting for themselves, or for fun. They went out and did it for the front of the jersey."
Derek Stepan scored New York's lone goal, and Henrik Lundqvist made 25 saves for the Rangers (42-16-7), 2-2-1 against the Devils this season. Stepan got the Rangers even at 1 early in the second when they controlled play.
Right after Lundqvist was bowled over in the crease, the Rangers got the puck up ice. Carl Hagelin worked the puck free behind the Devils net and sent a pass into the high slot to a wide-open Stepan, who smacked the rolling puck into the top left corner to tie it at 6:56.
It was the second straight Rangers goal by Stepan, who netted the winner Sunday.
The Rangers raced to an 11-1 edge in shots over the first 10 minutes of the second period, but nothing else got by Brodeur.
New Jersey rebounded in the second half of the period and generated scoring chances, too, but Lundqvist stood tall. After combining for only 28 shots in their previous meeting on Feb. 27, the teams mustered 41 — 23 for the Devils — through 40 minutes Tuesday.
"Anytime you play the top team in your conference, it's always a big challenge," Brodeur said. "Emotionally, guys got up. Finally, we were able to solve Lundqvist. We did the right things. The guys that needed to fight, fought. The guys that needed to grind, grinded. Everybody chipped in. That's why it's a big one. We're in a position where we've got to win games."
The Devils needed less than a minute to score, something they couldn't do eight days earlier in a 2-0 loss at Madison Square Garden. After a Rangers turnover at center ice, Kovalchuk took a backhanded pass from Zach Parise, split the defense when Ryan McDonagh fell, and snapped in his 26th goal of the season at 49 seconds.
It was Kovalchuk's first goal in 10 games, dating to his hat trick on Feb. 14 at Buffalo.
"Kovalchuk has been good all year but you could see how pumped up he was to play against the Rangers," Brodeur said. "He's just starting this rivalry. He's going to be here for a long time. He has to learn how to hate them. It's pretty easy to do."
New Jersey kept up the pressure throughout the first period and recorded 11 shots – two fewer than its total in the previous matchup with the Rangers. Adam Henrique was stopped on a short-handed breakaway with 5:30 left in the first, and Lundqvist denied two point-blank drives by Kovalchuk in the final 10 seconds.
Kovalchuk had five of New Jersey's shots in the first.
"There were times our intensity was there, but there were way too many mistakes," Lundqvist said.
The Rangers got captain Ryan Callahan back in the lineup after he missed three games because of a bruised foot sustained in the previous meeting with the Devils, but New York lost Dubinsky 3:03 in.
NOTES: Rangers C John Mitchell was scratched for the first time since being recalled from Connecticut of the AHL on Nov. 24. D Steve Eminger returned after being scratched for six games. D Anton Stralman sat out. … Devils LW Alexei Ponikarovsky (knee) skated with the team Tuesday morning, but sat out a third straight game.

Job Security during the Time of Recession
What is Recession ?
Recession is a word used in economics that means a significant decline in activity spread across the economy, lasting longer than a few months. It is visible in industrial production, employment, real income, and wholesale-retail trade. . . .
What is Depression ?
A depression is any economic downturn where real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) declines by more than 10 percent.
Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
GDP is the total market value of all final goods and services produced in a country in a given year, equal to total consumer, investment and government spending, plus the value of exports, minus the value of imports.
Difference between Recession and Depression
A factory worker asks the production manager the difference between a recession and a depression. The manager explains it this way. When the production work is reduced and gets slow the factory workers like you get laid off. That is a recession. When the production work is further reduced and almost gets to a halt, then even the production manager like me will also get laid off. That is a depression.
What happens during a Recession ?
Recessions may be associated with falling prices (deflation), or, alternatively, sharply rising prices (inflation) in a process known as stagflation.
Unemployment rate. This is the percentage of people who would like to work, but who are not working. When a recession hits a lot of workers get laid off, the unemployment rate goes up. When a recession is over, the unemployment rate goes down.
National or personal income. This is the amount of income earned from producing our nation's economic pie. With less pie produced, and fewer workers working, there's less income for every person in the nation.
Retail sales. As the name suggests, this is the amount of stuff that consumers buy from stores. During a recession there are fewer people working and producing as much. They have less income, and thus they buy less stuff from stores.
Government taxes. A recession also tends to see a decline in government tax receipts because we're getting less taxable income and buying fewer taxable goods.
Is the United States in a Recession Yet ?
Thu Feb 14, 2008 2:41pm EST
FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida (Reuters) - Top U.S. chief executives expect their industries to fare worse over the next six months as economic growth slows to a snail's pace, whether the United States is in recession or not.
Eighty-one 81 percent of CEOs polled by the Business Council expect "sluggish" U.S. economic growth of between 0 and 2 percent this year, according to the group's survey released on Thursday.
Slightly over half, or 53 percent of the CEOs expect those conditions to weaken further in the next six months and 3.6 percent said they saw the U.S. economy declining during the coming year.
In plain simple language the top U.S. chief executives expect a recession in the coming months ahead.
What are the basic necessities of Life during the Recession?
Regardless of any economic situation and whether or not there is a recession, there are five basic necessities of life, and they are:
- Food
- Water
- Air
- Clothing
- Shelter
If you are living in an area where all the above basic necessities are available then your life should be reasonably secured.
U.S. Government Assistance during the Recession
The Great Depression occurred in the United States when the Stock Market crashed in October 1929 and it lasted for many years. During that period millions of Americans were out of work, and the U.S. government reintroduced the homesteading program to get people back to the land to live a sustainable, self-sufficient lifestyle.
Homesteading enables people to own agricultural land and build their own houses on it with very low property taxes. They can grow their own food on the land and also provide their own water supply from the wells. They can also provide their own electricity by using solar, wind and other renewable energy systems. Since most rural lands are far away from the pollution in the cities they can breathe fresh air. This is healthy living.
What kind of jobs are secured during the Recession ?
If you choose to live in the cities during the Recession there are several kinds of jobs that are fairly secured because they are needed regardless of the economic situation.
John Challenger, CEO of outplacement firm Challenger, Gray and Christmas, told Yahoo! HotJobs that careers in the following fields may offer a good chance of weathering a storm this year.
* Education. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has historically shown teaching to be relatively recession-proof. But demographics are important: High-growth areas like the Sun Belt offer much better prospects than the Rust Belt.
* Energy. "This is a major issue for the global economy, and jobs related to oil and gas, alternative energy and even nuclear are likely to see strong growth," Challenger said.
* Health care. Almost half the 30 fastest growing occupations are concentrated in health services -- including medical assistants, physical therapists, physician assistants, home health aides, and medical records and health information technicians -- according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
* International business. "If you have a strong knowledge of other cultures, and an ability to work in another country, you'll find plenty of opportunities," according to John Challenger. "If you're first generation Chinese, with business skills and Chinese language skills, you're in good shape.
* Environmental sector. There is a huge and growing industry geared to combat global warming. "Not only will professionals with skills in sustainability issues be in demand through the end of the decade, we are likely to shortages of professionals with 'green' skills," said Rona Fried, president of sustainablebusiness.com, a networking service for sustainable businesses.
* Security. "Crime doesn't stop during a recession, and police officers, port security specialists and international security experts will continue to be in demand," Challenger emphasized.

Statistical Analysis of Gulf of Mexico Oil Spills of Less than 1,000 Barrelsby Alexis Lugo-Fernández, Gulf of Mexico OCS Region, New Orleans, United States,
Document Type: Proceeding Paper
Part of: Coastal Zone '93
A statistical analysis of the Minerals Management Service's (MMS) historic oil-spill data associated with Gulf of Mexico OCS oil production activities is presented. The analysis focused on two categories of oil spills defined by MMS; (1) greater than 1 (0.2 m3 and smaller than or equal to 50 (8 m3) barrels (1-50 bbl), and (2) greater than 50 and smaller than 1,000 (159 m3) barrels (50-1,000 bbl). The data analyses show that the number of spills decreases as the volume of oil spilled increases. An average of 44 ± 18 small spills of 1-50 bbl occurs per year. Their occurrence probability is described by a binomial distribution with the following parameters: n = 10 classes, p = 0.485, and q = 0.515. The spill rate for the category of 1-50 bbl has decreased since 1979, its present value is 152 spills per 109 barrels of produced oil. This reduction represents a decrease of 34 percent over an 11-year period. Spills of 50-1,000 bbl appear to be uniformly distributed and average about one spill per year. The mean spill rate for this category is six spills per 109 barrels of produced oil with no significant changes over the last 11 years.

Move over Miss Bum Bum – stunning girls show off perfect derrières on stage
MISS Bum Bum has established itself as a well-known contest to find the best bum in Brazil – but now it appears to have strong competition in China.
Raunchy footage has emerged of hundreds of stunning girls flaunting their incredible bottoms on stage in a bid to be the best.
The clip shows the babes dressed in tiny hotpants and grey tees with numbers on.
A line of lasses take to the front of the stage, bent over and tensing their bums to get the best position.
They then wiggle their bums before moving to another sexy pose – trying their best to make the audience hot under the collar.
There is no information as to what the prize of winning is or what the contest is called.
The clip was uploaded to video-sharing site LiveLeak earlier today (September 26) and has been viewed more than 6,700 times.
And viewers were left impressed at the toned bums of the contestants.
One wrote: "Where can I audition to become a judge?"
Another added: "Whole room full of perfect right there."
The current Miss Bum Bum – Suzy Cortez – recently revealed the diet secret behind her famous butt.
