|Emily's Trial, Book 2 of the Akasha Chronicle
by Natalie Wright
Cover Model, Ashley Philips
The shock of the crisp October air felt refreshing. It was chilly and smelled of fallen leaves. The moon was high and large, about three quarters full. The trees were almost bare. There were a few couples in the yard, most of them pressed close, their lips locked, hands roaming. I tried not to look because it felt creepy to watch people make out.
Owen walked me to a swinging seat hung from an enormous oak tree in the middle of the yard. I sat down and felt glad to have the wood swing beneath me.
"Hey Sporty, why don't you go inside and get yourself a drink or something," Owen said to Fanny.
"Nah, I'm good." Fanny stood her ground in front of the swing. I glared at her hard, trying to get her to take the hint and give me some alone time with Owen. Either she couldn't see me glare in the dark, or she chose to ignore me because she didn't budge.
I was getting pissed as hell at her. I didn't need Fanny acting like a mother hen, hovering over me all the time. It's like sometimes she and Jake don't get that we're growing up. It's like they still want everything to be like it was when we were ten or something.
Owen just shrugged his shoulders, sat down next to me, and he put his arm around my shoulders. He leaned his lips close to my ear and whispered, "So, you ever go anywhere without the pest?"
I threw my head back and let out a huge laugh. He hit the nail on the head.
"Yes," I said.
"Good to know," he whispered back then gently flicked his tongue into my ear. The flames of my passion were licking upward from my loins. I was thinking hard to Fanny to scram. But Fanny has zero telepathic skills, and she pretty much sucks at reading body language too so she didn't get the hint to scram. Is she hoping to watch us make out or something? Fanny sticking around was starting to feel like prying, not protection.
Owen kept his arm around my shoulder but removed his tongue and lips from my ear. Suddenly, my ear felt cold, and a shiver ran through me. Owen seemed to know the effect he had on me. He wore a look of smug satisfaction on his face.
"So, Sporty, since you won't take a hint and beat it, entertain me. What sports do you play?"
"Volleyball, softball, basketball."
"Aren't you kinda short for basketball?"
"Guard," she said.
Riveting conversation, and not nearly as entertaining as having Owen's tongue in my ear. Owen must have thought so too because he changed the subject quickly.
"Emily, my Miss Magic. Pretty impressive what you did back there with supreme jerk of the evening, Tad. I want to apologize for those knuckle draggers."
"It's okay, really."
"No, it's not. You're smart, not one of those sycophant bimbos usually hanging around with us. They're not used to girls who have more to offer than just someone pretty to look at and make out with."
I'm not sure if he was trying to compliment me or not. Was he saying I was cute and smart? Or was he excepting me out of the category of girls pretty enough to look at and make out with?
"What about you, Owen? Are you interested in more than just someone to make out with?" asked Fanny.
"I'm here with you two instead of in there. What do you think?"
Fanny's face softened then, and she seemed to relax a little.
"So answer me this Miss Magic. Aren't you bored with just spinning drunk assholes in the air?"
Of course I was. My boredom had gotten so pathetic, I'd stooped to dropping salads on Greta.
"Yes. Yes I am."

Tea partiers turn on each other
"There's a lot of fighting, and everyone wants to be in charge, and that's why you have so many splinter groups," said ex-treasurer Janet Spencer, who charged her adversaries within the tea party with saying "derogatory things about me that were very unprofessional."
She said her new group, called Patriotic Voices of America/Carolina Patriots, counts about 100 members and will not coordinate with the Myrtle Beach Tea Party, whose treasurer, David Ognek, said the friction is "just group dynamics."
In Texas, a handful of thriving tea party groups severed their ties from the national Tea Party Patriots group after it ousted, then sued a founding board member who had affiliated with a rival group called the Tea Party Express.
"Our fight is in Congress and not with each other or with these other groups," said Toby Marie Walker, who was the Texas state coordinator for the Tea Party Patriots and also co-founded the Waco, Texas, tea party.
This Waco group recently drew an estimated 4,000 people to a rally it organized with the Tea Party Express, which travels the country hosting rallies. The month before, it had pulled out of the Tea Party Patriots after the Patriots group accused the Tea Party Express of steering the movement away from nonpartisan issue-based advocacy, embracing extremist rhetoric and raising questions about the Express's finances.
The Patriots' attack and lawsuit worried the Waco group's board, Walker said, because "if you align yourself with someone who is going to be that malicious, then how do we know they won't turn on us?"
Other local tea party groups, though, cast their lots with the Patriots, heeding the group's call to disassociate with the Tea Party Express.
In Granbury, Texas, local tea party organizer Josh Sullivan says he believes the movement's effectiveness is being compromised by extremism."You have some interesting folks in the Tea Party movement — some of them I can support, but some of them are kind of out there and radical, and I don't want to associate myself with them," he said. In Northern Colorado, meanwhile, a handful of active 9/12 groups — named for the Glenn Beck-encouraged effort to stage the Sept. 12 Washington march — are unhappy with the state 9/12 group's aversion to fundraising and with its focus on national issues and have discussed forming their own rival statewide group.
"People are beginning to become a little bit de-energized — they're starting to feel like they're fighting a losing battle, because we send a lot of letters into Washington, D.C., and things like that, and people are saying they're not listening," said Brian Britton, who heads the Greeley, Colo., 9/12 group.
That fear is echoed by Glenn Galls, a Hot Springs, Ark., tea party organizer frustrated with the focus of Arkansas's state-level tea party groups on national races and issues such as cap and trade and health care.
"If the tea party movement is going to continue to thrive and to grow and to have influence," he said, "it must start coming together and coalescing and finding its purpose in life, because if it doesn't, the excitement will fade like it does from anything else."

All The Way Live Tuesdays featuring NUEX
Hot off the heels of a hugely successful debut, Anacostia Arts Center proudly presents another FREE musical season of ALL THE WAY LIVE TUESDAYS! With a varied line up of hip-hop, R&B, funk, soul and more, this series exemplifies the vibrant creative economy of DMV talent.
Camille, a singer/songwriter and Teddy, a drummer and producer, created NUEX in 2014. Both lifelong musicians, the pair started recording demos in the basement just days after they met. NUEX first brought their sound to Liv nightclub in what would become the first of dozens of shows along the Eastern seaboard. They are regarded highly by many industry insiders, affording them the opportunity to represent Washington DC in Austin, TX and SXSW in 2017.

the day everything went wrong
Verse: The day had an ambitious start as I hauled Honda to Langara before work to get my Student ID photo taken. I'd awoken early-ish to assemble the pretty parts of my face cohesively, found a great parking spot, found the right room like I was a seasoned student, and then Cheech & Chong's retarded cousin told me I couldn't get it done till August. Um, how am I more of a student in August than right now? Please? I cannot handle wastes of time! I want accomplishment! These thoughts ran through my head as I ran back to my car; of course I said nothing of the sort to him. Sometimes my passiveness combined with my complete & utter lack of flirting skills leaves me in the dust, or more accurately, screaming at people driving in front of me on Knight St.
Chorus: The beautiful four wedding pictures we chose to blow up didn't fit into the custom size frames we bought due to a measurement error. Surprisingly, Nuv & I sarcastically yarping about it at each other didn't solve the problem. So, we'll have to trudge back to The Lab (a beautiful photo developing place on W. 2nd filled with light, plants & birds) and get them all re-done. Just once, JUST ONE TIME, I'd like one of our creative endeavors to turn out. The last time we dabbled in framing pictures, after 48 hours of planning, laying out, trimming & holding back punches, I stepped on the glass. Game over. Nuv hung his head, said nothing & went outside to smoke a pack of cigarettes. One day down the road, he will qualify for sainthood.
Crescendo: Gravity loathes my guts: I didn't think it would be possible, but in my thirtieth year I have become less graceful than ever. Either invisible fairies push furniture & door knobs and corners into my path, or I have lost all ability to determine my space in this world and thus constantly slam my soft corners & edges into hard corners & edges. Last night doing a "we're late! "we're late!" hurried trot down Cardero to the fireworks, the toe of my shoe caught an edge in the sidewalk and the sidewalk then became my personal slip 'n' slide. When you're going downhill & you have the athletic skill of a newborn deer, you eat it fast & hard. I once again end up on the ground, crying hard in front of a gazillion strangers, with Nuv crouched beside me making sure I haven't left my chin skin in the gravel. I got up stinging & furious & stomped back in the direction of home for 2 tantrum style steps, until Nuv gently dragged me to watch the fireworks. Even with burning bleeding hands & knees and the knowledge many many people saw me bail & probably laughed (just like I would have) it was still a lovely show. Hobbling back to the apartment afterwards, I once again was so fucking grateful Nuv hasn't asked for a refund on this marriage.

About Us
When you tell people you live in a town called Cool, you always get a response about the name. "That's really its name? Wow, that is so cool!" If they know where it's located, they may question, "How do you deal with driving that canyon every day?" We get used to it. And some of the 4000 or so of us who live in Cool, also work here! Most of us agree upon how fortunate we are to be part of this small, unique community. It's located in the beautiful Northern California foothills, surrounded by two forks of the American River. The heart of Cool boasts stunning views, encompassing miles of open land, river and trails that can take you all the way to Sacramento and Tahoe right from our backyard. But more importantly, it is also home to a close-knit community on the Georgetown Divide where children are the heart and soul for many.
Whether resident or first time visitor to Cool, taking the descent on southbound Hwy 49 into the American River Canyon is guaranteed to leave an impression. The 6-mile journey will leave you breathless with the beauty and maybe white-knuckled on the steering wheel as you wind along the edges of the canyon, and cross the confluence where the North and Middle Forks of the American River meet. As you reach the ascent, you arrive at your destination of Cool. This canyon, the river, and the hundreds of miles of California trails connected to its surrounding areas, are at the heart of Cool.
Living in a small community, where everyone is linked somehow has its trade-offs but are outweighed by the benefits. Schools in the community play a huge role in the positive upbringing of our youth. As a parent, you are grateful your children won't go unnoticed and mostly everything is brought to your attention. As a child, you are grateful to have so many caring people involved and helping you figure out this thing called growing up. For all these reasons, community and the local schools play a significant role to the heart of Cool.
Cool, CA, population 3,972 according to 2014 census, really does exist. Offering an abundance of outdoor activities which use the river, trails and land, one will often be in awe of just how special Cool really is. Cool Charity would like to share just a little piece of the amazing beauty with everyone who wants to join and host our annual Heart of Cool Trail Run the first Sunday of October. Bring your hiking or running shoes, smiles and excitement to explore new or familiar trails, and support the youth on the Georgetown Divide, as well as children with heart disease to attend Camp Taylor. The event would not be possible without you and we can't wait to share it with you!!

The mission of Northside STEAM School is to enrich and engage our students through a rigorous project-based curriculum infused with Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics. Our new motto, "Educating the Whole Child," denotes our commitment to not only providing a rigorous and engaging curriculum, but our dedication to supporting the social-emotional well-being and growth of our students. We believe learning comes from making connections between ourselves, our community, and the world beyond. We believe citizens are created by practicing responsible stewardship of ourselves, our community and our world. We believe that to be a learning community means to believe that learners are more than the sum of all of their parts, they are a part of an interconnected system comprised of their environment, creating the whole child.
Northside STEAM School benefits from its rural location by providing a first class education in a country setting. Students can participate in a variety of experiences unique to the foothills, such as Ride Your Horse/Bike to School Day, and field trips to Auburn State Recreation Area, which is located directly behind the school, while at the same time receive instruction in technology using Web-based programs. Funds from this event help support our many enrichment programs such as Northside Farmers, Music Club, Maker Labs, Science and weekly Art rotations.
Northside STEAM School has focused on building community ties by providing healthy food from its garden in Northside Farmers program. This program, facilitates student science and nutrition learning, culminating in real world, hands-on learning such as our schoolwide Harvest Lunch.
Another community outreach is our Family Math and Literacy Nights. Families gather with staff for an evening of community and fun centered around mathematical and literacy ideas and thinking.
Camp Taylor
Kids Meet... Camp Taylor offers several programs for young people and families of children with heart disease. Our flagship program is our well known medically supervised free youth and teen residential summer camp sessions. We offer 9 camp sessions catering to the under-served population of pediatric cardiology.
Scars Blend... Sharing the emotional, mental & social challenges that each person faces in life comes naturally at camp where our campers are surrounded by youth & families with similar life experiences. Shedding your shirt at the pool to swim finally "feels good" as almost everyone has a zipper scar.
Wonders Happen!!! Campers enjoy swimming, snorkeling, horseback riding, rock-wall climbing, skit night, archery, heart education and much more while at camp. Campers return home from camp empowered with new found self esteem freshly educated about their disease. Camaraderie and fun is the feeling of the week at camp. For many campers experiencing an environment where they actually "feel normal" is a priceless gift only found at camp.

Elijah Wood to Star in TV Show, FX Pilot Wilfred
Do You Like It When Movie Stars Move Over to TV?
I'm going to get real with you right now: Elijah Wood was one of my very first crushes. Though my romantic fervency for him has quelled, I've always followed his career, and I'm actually quite excited about his next project, because he's making the jump to TV. He'll star in FX's pilot Wilfred, about a guy with a dog who's "part Labrador Retriever and part Russell Crowe on a bender."
I applaud this move for Wood, who's never made the foray into TV before. The movie-to-TV crossover has become increasingly popular, with stars often finding more success and adulation than they did on the big screen. Thinking of actors like Alec Baldwin, Mary Louise-Parker, and Anna Paquin, I have to say that I love it when movie stars come to TV, and a big name often makes it more enticing to watch. What do you think — are you a fan of the TV jump?

I have an undergraduate degree in Child Development. I have babysat the majority of my life. I have worked with children since before I can remember. I volunteer at a place that works directly with children under 4 years old. And yet, I'm clueless.
I'd be lying if I said I'm totally prepared for the journey ahead.
I've read all of the books. I know how to interact with my child. I know how important reading to my child is. And I know all about "safe sleep." But yet again, I'm clueless.
I'm clueless in the fact that I don't know how to birth a child. I don't know what it's like to feel my baby move yet. I don't know how to nurse. I don't know what a contraction is like. I'm terrified of labor. I don't know how to pump. I don't know how to bathe my child. Like I said, I'm totally clueless.
I'm not worried I'll be a bad mom. I'm not worried that I'll mess my kid up. I'm not even worried that I'll make a bad decision.
But everything is just so unknown.
I know a lot of women who are pregnant "hate" when other women give them advice. And maybe I'll get there one day. But right now, I want to be informed. I want to know all of the motherly secrets out there. I want women to tell me how labor was for them. I want women to tell me what it feels like to have your baby move inside of you. I want women to give me nursing tips. I mean, someone please tell me, DO THOSE BODY PILLOWS WORK??
Clearly Andrew & I will make personal decisions on pregnancy, birth, parenting, medical care, etc. for our baby. But I'm all about hearing informative & helpful advice from all of you mommas out there (especially if you've done this thing within the last decade!). So comment, email or if we're close, text me. I'd love to hear anything you have to say.
Seriously. Advice is welcomed. (Pinterest has currently been my advice-BFF lately.) Thank you.

Popular Swedish singer Zara Larsson took to Instagram to amusingly mock men who claim that their penises are "too large" to wear condoms by pulling one up to her knee and sharing the photo with her fans.
The 17-year-old – who became a national star when she won a Swedish version of Britain's Got Talent – shared the photo with her 500,000 followers.
The photo caption read "To all the guys saying 'my dick is too big for condoms' TAKE A SEAT" and has had over 50,000 likes since last week.
In a blog post she shared on her website, Larsson was surprised by the response to her snap.
"I merely meant it as a funny joke," she said. "Since then newspapers have been writing about what a feminist genius I am!
"I don't see myself as some kind of holy Mother Mary of feminism. I am very well aware that there are many, many girls out there that are much better than me in so many ways and receive much too little attention."
Just to be clear: Condoms come in different lengths and widths, and wearing the right size condom is crucial as the wrong size fit means it is less effective and could put your health at risk. Here is some advice about wearing a condom.

You've heard it said a lot of occasions that physical exercise and a healthier diet have to be life style options, not merely fads that you are attempting on for size. A systematic stretching and breathing routine such as yoga is advantageous to the thoughts and physique. This house fitness center comes completely assembled so you can begin your first exercise in just minutes following receiving your box. Tennis, football, swimming, basketball and baseball are just some of the alternatives that you can pick up as a fun alternative to exercising in the fitness center.
These can be both cost-powerful AND budget healthy for those people who require the stimulation of other folks close to them to remain motivated, but who can not afford an costly gym membership right now. A single can't keep a healthful physique if their heart and mind isn't into the routine. In the past my husband and I usually employed various health club gear and not only was it expensive to purchase a various exercise machine for every single of us but our property is not that large and they started obtaining in the way. A great stretching incorporated with a breathing routine can be as successful as any other strategy of relaxation.
One particular thing to appear at also, may be to investigate your local parks and rec division for economical physical exercise classes, and the neighborhood center for low-cost monthly memberships. Most apartment complexes with gyms have only the simple machines, but you will not have to be concerned about bothering any person with your exercising habits. Preserving great form and executing the movement with speed is far more critical than how heavy the ball is. Endurance exercises for the elderly contain brisk walking, stationary bike riding, running, low impact aerobics, swimming, water aerobics, cycling or any exercising that makes you breathe quicker and your heart to speed up. Girls and girls will find fewer far more fun methods to physical exercise and burn calories than this one. You may possibly not recognize that but possibly the most crucial indicator of true strength is how you handle your own physique weight.
With the XLS home gym system you can carry out a lot more than 80 various workouts, targeting all areas of your physique, isolating muscle groups or operating muscle groups together based on your workout selections. The mixture of movements or synergy as it is usually named, is what tends to make your workout sessions shorter than most other sorts of workout applications, but you will commence to see outcomes considerably quicker. If you can afford to obtain little hand weights, attempt choosing up a two pound, 3 pound, 5 pound and eight pound weight. The National Institute of Well being reports you can get health advantages with as tiny as 60 minutes of moderate physical exercise per week. Stiffness and soreness are a common complaint of seniors that have not exercised in a although.

We were able to bring Liam home from the hospital yesterday around 5:30pm. Liam however has to be on oxygen at home while he is sleeping. We monitored his oxygen saturation all day yesterday and he did fine (93%) off oxygen when he was awake but when he would nap he was between 86-88%. So we had to contact a company that provides home oxygen and they came and set it up for us last night. We have a concentrator in our room (Liam will be sleeping in our room for now) that pulls oxygen in from the room air and isolates it and provides it to Liam through the nasal cannula. We also have an O2 tank in a stand with a regulator in case we lose power. The kids were very intrigued by the whole process and were listening in on the instructions from the rep. The kids were instructed not to hit it with objects or knock it over or it could explode (even though technically it can't he still tells kids this so they will leave it alone). This did not sit well with Adley. He immediately became panicked and asked why we couldn't have just left Liam at the hospital for a few more days. Adley usually isn't our worrier - that's Aidan - but last week a house in our city really did explode - about 2am in the morning, but so far it is under investigation as being suspicious - the house was in foreclosure. See below:
Liam has a follow-up appointment scheduled on Monday with the Pediatrician so we will keep the home oxygen until then. We will then probably have to make an appointment to see a Pulmonologist to make sure there is not anything underlying that is causing him to get sick so much. During his hospital stay I had to work so thanks to Jared's sister and mom that helped out with the 3 big boys Jared came and stayed with Liam while I worked. It was nice to be able to visit when I wanted. Jared said that even though you don't really do much but just sit in bed and tend to Liam that it is exhausting - I agree.
And just in case you forgot about the other 3 boys b/c I haven't really mentioned them in awhile on my blog

Close the teeth together all around, and put the tongue against the roof of the mouth, being especially careful that the back of the tongue and the soft palate are in close contact. Feel with the point of the finger placed under the jaw midway between the chin and the angle of the neck, noticing that the chin muscles are relaxed—that they are soft to the touch. Now, keeping these conditions unchanged, the mouth closed, the back of the tongue up against the soft palate, and the chin muscle soft, hum at any convenient pitch, a very soft m. Do this again, making a decidedly nasal tone, which causes distinct vibration at the bridge of the nose. Practice this at different pitches, trying to make the tone hard and resonant against the bridge of the nose without hardening the chin muscle nor disturbing the other conditions. Imagine the region about the bridge of the nose to be a sounding-board, and use this exercise to learn to push the tone, as it were, forward upon the sounding-board by means of a muscular effort in the head behind the nose, and without assistance from the breath or anything else.
Ten. That tone is so very nasal.
Prof. Certainly, it can be nothing else when your mouth is closed.
Sop. I don't see where such tones as that can possibly come in in singing.
Prof. They do not; but the action which I am trying to make you conscious of is the most important thing a singer has to learn. In my experience the m exercise is a safe an effective way to make the pupil conscious of the process which correctly places or resonates the voice.
Alt. I have heard Prof. Spectrum says humming is bad for the voice.
Prof. Yes, there has been a great deal of debate over exercises with the mouth closed. The solution of it all is the action of the chin muscles. Closed-mouth exercises, with the chin muscle rigid, hard, pressuring forward, are distinctly injurious; with the muscle relaxed, soft, held upward in its natural position, they are beneficial to every singer without exception. This exercise, No. 19, is a temporary one, to be discarded just as soon as you can do Exercise No. 20 with some degree of certainty.
EXERCISE No. 20
At any convenient pitches in the octave, from B-flat to B-flat or C to C or D to D, practice swelling tones with vowel sounds. As the tone increases in power the vowel will seem to come more forward to the front of the face, and will manifest to some extent at the bridge of the nose and the hard palate just back of the front teeth. The conditions under which these swells are to be practiced are, (1) keep jaw perfectly relaxed; (2) the tip of the tongue lightly against the lower front teeth; (3) no sound of breath in the tone nor conscious effort of breath pressure; (4) a sensation of nasal tone, the sensation being as distinct as possible without allowing the tone to sound nasal; (5) the sensation of perfecting the vowel as it presses forward. This direction applies principally to ah and e. Practice this exercise only on pitches where it goes easily.
Bas. I get e in that way much easier than the other vowel sounds.
Prof. That is generally the case. You probably get them all correctly, but one with the definiteness of sensation which you have with e.
Sop. I get very little of the effect of a sounding-board, as you call it, with my lower notes.
Alt. Nor I with my middle ones.
Prof. Don't try to practice this exercise at first with notes that seem obstinate. A good way to approach the more difficult pitches is to do each on with m, as in Exercise No. 19. Then, after taking breath, follow immediately with vowel sound, as in Exercise No. 20. The all-embracing formula of voice production, considered simply as a mechanical act, consists of three items: First, breath management; second, the relaxing of those throat, jaw, and tongue muscles which impede tone; and third, the proper exertion of those muscles which give the voice resonance. Briefly stated, this formula is: Control the breath, devitalize the jaw, and strike the sounding-board.
The Polychrome Lessons in Voice Culture (1896) by Frederic W. Root, 25-27.
History records Francesco Lamperti as being decidedly opposed to humming, and Pauline Viardot-García as saying her father never taught it. However, there were students within the García School who did: François Wartel and Erminia Rudersdorff, the latter calling them "closed-mouth" exercises. Who taught it to Root, who interviewed, and likely studied with Viardot-García's brother, who was named after his father? We may never know. Still it would be nice to know. Whatever tack you take, this writer understands the matter under question as having everything to do with the audition of bone conduction, knowledge which Root understood in his own time (see here).
Exercise No. 21 in Root's manual is none other than the start of the tone, which García named the coup de glotte.

Kris Aquino has done it again.
The First Sister is currently in hot water (again, for the nth time) over a recent Instagram post about being APEC-tado of sorts.
Here's the post:
About to sleep, Bimb took this picture- decided to post this so we can all have a good laugh tonight sa karma ng kaartehan ko 😂 na SUNBURN ako ng bongga- nabilad in Fort Santiago at the peak of the just before noon heat... You'll love the sense of humor of my sister Viel, baka daw my entire back nag ka lace patterned sunburn. Si Bimb naman said the shape of the sunburn is like the Batman mask from the Michael Keaton era 🤓... Quits na tayo sa lahat ng nahirapan mag commute these past few days, patas ang mundo, patche patche naman ang balat ko. ✌😂😘😜 #LaughterIsTheBestMedicine (I drank Paracetamol kasi parang lalagnatin ako sa init ng balat ko, any sunburn suggestions?) GOOD NIGHT. #LoveLoveLoveContinue reading below ↓
We honestly don't know how to feel about this.
Kris might have put a disclaimer ("a good laugh") at the beginning of the post; the only problem was, she was having a "good laugh" over the Pinoy commuter's plight—a very delicate subject, that was all the more aggravated by the international business meet.
We may have given her the benefit of the doubt, but the same cannot be said for Krissy's fellow Instagram users...
Many weren't too amused by what they deemed an "insensitive" deed.
Especially with the use of those three words.
Her statement might have been more acceptable if...
Some were simply left aghast.
Others tried to look on the bright side.
One even responded to Krissy's call for suggestions on how to treat sunburns. (Or not.)
If someone had done this in the first place, then maybe it wouldn't have to come to this.
Turning episodes of her daily drama, like this one, into primetime TV isn't far-fetched. We're talking about Kris Aquino here, after all.
Time to call a behavioral expert?
Still, the best comments were those that were pretty straightforward.
Moral of the story? Always bring an umbrella.

U2 Now Aiming to Release New CD by End of 2012
(NEW YORK) -- U2 originally planned to have a new album in stores before their current "U2 360" tour ended, but now that's not happening.
The band told Rolling Stone that the plan now is to go back into the studio when the tour ends and work on a record that will be released "toward the end of next year."
U2 had been working on separate groups of songs, with Lady Gaga's producer RedOne and with producer/artist Danger Mouse, best known as one-half of Gnarls Barkley. Now, the band told Rolling Stone that it's the Danger Mouse songs that will likely become their new album.
Adam Clayton said, "We have to focus on what we do best, and the work we did with Danger Mouse came closest to that...the thing we did with RedOne doesn't feel like the right fit."

Chuck and Beth Tolfree would like to honor Bob Suhajda. Bob was Chuck's property manager for the Radio Shack shopping center in Tehachapi and other locations for many years. Because of his work-related travels, Bob picked up many a stray dog from the street and found them a new home. His family asked that in lieu of flowers, people donate to their favorite animal charity. Bob was truly a one-of-a-kind, a generous man with a big heart for people and pets. He will be missed by all who knew him.

The Crazies: Reviewed
Ah, the American dream…Ogden Marsh, the idyllic and undisturbed town where kids still ride their bicycles, farmers grow crop in harvesting season, and the community gather to watch their teams play baseball. Undisturbed until the dream sours.
Director Brett Eisner's reinvention of Zombie granddaddy George A. Romero's 1973, The Crazies becomes a terrifying descent into humans displaying the most irrational behaviour and the rudest awakening to the perils of modern day experiments.
The film opens with shots of Ogden Marsh as an idyllic farming community, allowing us to care about and get a sense of the terror and disappointment that is felt when this is all destroyed. Townsfolk begin to get that distant look on their faces, they become emotionally displaced and then it becomes a Mad world. It's unusual because these are normal people and this is the same disbelief expressed by Sheriff David Dutten (played by Timothy Olyphant). After discovering a secret plan crash, responsible for releasing a deadly toxin called trixie into the town's lake Sheriff Dutten and his pregnant docter wife Judy (played by Radha Mitchell) figure that the town's water source has been contaminated and is responsible for creating 'Crazies'. The American military (hoo ra!) then steps in to contain and exterminate.
After narrowly escaping containment measures and a crazy with a pitchfork, they are joined by David's deputy (Joe Anderson) and Judy's medical assisstant Becca (Danielle Panabaker). They begin an unsafe journey towards hoping to find something rational while contending not only with crazies but with millitary types too. Eisner together with weiters Scott Kaser and Ray Wright play up on the disbelief of the characters toward the fact that their idyllic lives have been destroyed together with every rational person they once knew. The movie is fairly simple and enjoyable, sometimes hinting at the holocast, millitary presence and some great edge of your seat moments.
Whats really frightening is that you're unsure if the next person is infected or even you yourself. It just takes a character raising their voice to put you on high alert. The origins of the Trixie Virus are not explored (we only figure that the damned millitary has something to do with it) but we come to fear it through the medntal and physical effects it has on the town folk. It shows them on their worst days and heightens their darkest emotions...be very afreaid if they've go beef with you. Eisner provides an unnerving look at how a peracful world with simple people can degenerate into nothing.

Accreditation is the process of reviewing an engineering degree programme to judge whether or not it meets the defined standards set by the Engineering Council. A degree may be accredited by one or more of the engineering institutions licensed to do so, particularly where it spans several engineering disciplines.
Accredited engineering degrees offer students, their parents and advisors, and employers an important mark of assurance that the programme meets the high standards set by the engineering profession. The value of degree accreditation is explained here.
Engineering employers and academics are involved in setting the standards, reviewing degrees and deciding whether to award accredited degree status. Therefore, employers have a strong voice in deciding that an accredited degree programme provides a student with some or all of the underpinning knowledge, understanding and skills to support their application for eventual professional registration.

Happy 2nd Birthday Noah
Noah, Happy birthday my awesome and adorable son. Phew, how time flies when you are having fun growing up. It literally seems like yesterday I was sitting down and writing to you on your first birthday. I do have a few things I would like you to know about the second year of your life. I want you to know that I have never been prouder to be a dad. I spent a lot of days and nights in spectacular amazement of what it is to be your dad. It has been astonishing watching you grow into the amazing child you are today. Your mother and I have worked hard to provide you with all the things you need and most of what you want. It has not always been easy but I would work twenty times harder to provide for you and your mother. Your mother is beyond remarkable when it comes to taking care of you. She continues to make sure you eat healthy meals (even when you throw your food on the floor), she worries about you even when there is nothing to worry about, she sings you silly songs and she reads 10 books every night so you can avoid going to bed. She loves you more than you will ever know.
During your second year of life you have discovered some new favorite things. Those things include Yo Gabba Gabba, The Fresh Beat Band, Cars and any motorized thing that goes vroom. You often fall asleep in the car even when we try and keep you up with our horrible singing. You love music, singing and dancing. At the moment your favorite tune is Roar by Katy Perry (I won't judge you on your taste of music yet :). You enjoy doing summersaults, hugging and wrestling Sophia (our chocolate lab and your best friend), yelling at the top of your lungs, laughing, and you really really really love your grandparents. You also get a kick out of face timing with your Aunt Kristin and Uncle Pete. You love the long walks we often go on to walk the dog, being held and cuddling with your parents in the early morning. To be honest, Noah, you are the best child anyone could really ask for or want.
Noah, I want to talk to you on your birthday about making the best of every opportunity. You are not always going to know what to do but I want you to know that with the guidance of your mom, myself and God that you will figure it out. You will be disappointed by life sometimes (just ask your grandfather and I about the Cubs and Red Sox) but I want you to follow your heart in whatever you want to do with your life. It is never to late to start something and never to late to take risks. I took the risk and followed my heart in following your mom to Virginia and I would say it has paid off better than I could have ever imagined. Follow your heart son, it is the best advice I can give you. I am going to leave you with one of my favorite quotes...
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." ~ Mark Twain
Press Play and enjoy!

Halloween is better you to reconsider cool black bathtub with gothic influences. Gothic style is one that is very charming, although the style is not the most popular, I feel that this interior would be very appropriate for your Halloween. A gothic bathroom usually identical to with black, although you can mix with some bright colors, perhaps with a touch of white and gray. Main thing is to achieve the gothic atmosphere, a bit gloomy, sometimes scary but very smooth and comfortable. I love the sleek black bathtub and sculptures in various materials to add moody and mysterious note to [ Read More ]
Pamper yourself with a soak in the tub that looks modern and luxurious. When it comes time to relax, there is no harm in releasing all the burdens and let you slip into the sparkling foam tasted like heaven. If you compare to hitting the spa for some well-deserved, I'm sure this luxury bathtub is much better as you will find comfort in own homes. Are you looking for the latest features or just simply want something special for your decor, this bathtub design collection of the best designer for menginpirasi. I would also like to say thank you to [ Read More ]

Dashcam Captures Wild Florida Chase, Crash
Tavares, FL - A central Florida police officer is recovering after using his cruiser to ram the car of a fleeing suspect during a wild chase that narrowly avoided patrons at a nearby ice cream shop. A Tavares police officer was treated and released from a hospital Thursday night after he and three officers intentionally drove their cars into the truck of 54-year-old Gene Blick. Police say officers tried to pull Blick over for a sobriety check after receiving reports of a suspected drunk driver. But he evaded them, leading authorities on a chase over curbs, and through a mobile-home park filled with retirees. He was charged with aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, driving under the influence and driving on a suspended license.

Brief comment to discuss something cool. Yesterday, Zootaxa published on a new hadrosauroid ornithischian dinosaur, Glishades ericksoni. The remarkable thing of note is a peculiar adaptation of the premaxillae, the only known bones preserved (so far). While I am loathe to regard taxa based on such scant material, adapting the principle I derived from TBT, the uniqueness of the material permits a bit of exceptionalism.
In typical hadrosauroids, as in all hadrosaurs, be they "lambeosaurine" or "hadrosaurine", the premaxillae are elongated, toothless, and are ventrally concave:
The ventral morphology of hadrosaur premaxillae is seldom noted, as the discussion typically involves the circumnarial morphology, or data in regards to crests. The ventral margin of the premaxillae are concave, with the lateral edge of the premaxillae forming thin ridges that form a U-shape bound to the anterior ends of each maxilla. Occasionally, as in Anatosaurus annectens, the ventral surface bears longitudinal ridges that form a sort of triturating apparatus, such as occurs in oviraptorid theropods, turtles, and some birds. So while most premaxillae in hadrosaurs are scoop like, in Glishades this condition is inverted:
This ridge is exceptionally sculptured, unlike the dorsal margin of the premaxilla; the dorsal and rostral margins exhibit smooth texture with incised channels, a textural feature noted by Witmer and Holliday Hieronymus et al. [2] to be connected to cornified sheaths (as in ungulate horns and avian and turtle beaks); the irregular ventral surface, however, appears to have characteristics of an irregular cornified pad [2]. As noted by Prieto-Márquez, such a feature is present in Bactosaurus johnstoni, but to a muted degree, and a thickening (without a sulcus) is present in Ouranosaurus nigeriensis.
What this permits us to consider is the morphological aspect of a secondary ventral ridge on the premaxilla; if, as [2] demonstrate, the ridge, despite being denticulate, simply indicates a thickened pad on the ventral surface and that it may not conform to the shape of the cornification. A ridge and sulcus also appears on the palatal surface in some turtles (e.g., Chelonia mydas), and appears to be useful in oral processing.

The death of the popular rocker Tom Petty has already created hullabaloo among his followers. Now, the investigation is on regarding Petty's death even after the rocker's complete autopsy.
The world always remembers Petty as one of the best consistent and successful rock stars, also a legendary musician. He served as the lead singer of the famous band "Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers". He also recorded hit singles with the "Heartbreakers" and as a solo singer.
Last Sunday (Oct. 1) at night Petty was found completely unconscious at his known Malibu home. According to TMZ, he was not breathing, and it seemed that he suffered cardiac arrest. He was rushed to the UCLA Santa Monica Hospital where he was put on the life support. On Monday evening the 66 years old great rocker breathed his last.
According to USA Today, the spokesman of the Los Angeles County coroner, Ed Winter, reported the associated press that Petty's autopsy was performed on Tuesday. Winter utters significantly about the investigation associated with Petty's death. The spokesman reveals that coroner conduct investigation only when the deceased didn't attend any doctor in the last six months. Winter has also made it clear that there is no question of any foul play.
Now, the important thing is the toxicology screening of Petty must help to know whether the rocker had taken any drugs or not. But, the key fact is it could take a few weeks to have the result of this test. In 2015 the famous rocker told Men's Journal that he started smoking when he was just 17.
Petty stated that he never pretended that he is trying to quit. He confessed that he is an addict, but didn't light up when he was in the car because other people get upset. In a word, Petty was the long-time smoker.© 2019 Mstars News, All rights reserved. Do not reproduce without permission.

|Game information
The Laser-Triggered Claymore,[3] also simply known as the Laser Mine[3] or the Trip Mine,[4] is an anti-personnel mine, emitting a laser beam that, when tripped, causes the device to explode.
These trip mines can be attached to static surfaces, and project a light-blue laser beam acting as a tripwire; they can be thought of as "Laser-Activated Claymore Mines". If the beam is interrupted, the mine detonates in an explosion as powerful as a satchel charge.
To place a trip mine, the player must get close to a surface and aim the crosshair where he or she wants it to be deployed. When a trip mine is placed on the wall, it will give off a three-second long rising sound, signifying that the laser is warming up. Then, if an enemy crosses the beam, the device will explode. Trip mines can also be detonated by shooting them.
A trip mine cannot be placed on a moving surface; doing so will cause the device to drop. It can be picked up again by the player.
The Laser Trip Mine can be used to trick any enemies that will chase the player, for example the highly armored Alien Grunts or the agile Black Ops assassins; they can also be put to a great use in the multiplayer mode of the game. The player can utilize any weapon to clear the mines out, except for the Crowbar or other melee weapons as this will will result in explosion and immediate death. It is recommended to shoot them from safe distance. The player can also choose to avoid the Laser Trip Mines by crawling or jumping over them. It is also possible to jump on the mine itself, without setting it off.
- In Half-Life, Laser Trip Mines can first be seen deployed by the HECU in the chapter "We've Got Hostiles". They can be then acquired by the player at the end of the chapter Blast Pit, as well as in a small supply cache along with Satchel Charges and the .357 Magnum in Residue Processing. Trip mines are used in a puzzle sequence in the chapter Surface Tension, where Gordon has to go through an old ordinance storage facility filled with explosives. Triggering any of the trip mines results in a huge chain of explosions.
- In Half-Life: Opposing Force the trip mine can first be seen in the chapter Missing in Action, in an office, where it is placed on a door. It is intended to be detonated along with a crate of explosives to allow Shephard to proceed further. The weapon can be acquired by the player at the beginning of the next chapter by leading the HECU Engineer they have just met to the exit door opposite the elevator and allowing him to cut through it. One trip mine can be found in a small security post outside the office complex.
- In Half-Life: Decay, Laser Trip Mines can be seen for the first and only time in the chapter Domestic Violence. They had already been deployed and can't be picked up by the players.
Behind the scenes[edit]
The HEV Suit was to be heard when picking up a Laser Trip Mine, calling it a "laser-activated anti-personnel mine." Furthermore, the viewmodel of the weapon features an unused arming sequence.[5]

The new state-level Census data is out, and as expected, the picture is not pretty.
Here's the quick scoop:
The Census Bureau will continue to release more data on smaller areas. Please check back for updates.
Unemployment in North Carolina remains persistently high and has
crept up slightly over the past few months. Job losses in the public
sector have outweighed small gains in private hiring.
Underemployment, which measures workers that have stopped looking
for a job and part-time workers who want a full-time job, is also
high--stalling out at around 17% for the past two years.
The labor force participation rate (all people classified as
employed or unemployed) has dropped dramatically in the past four years.
This means that many people have simply stopped looking for work.
In 2009-2010, North Carolina ranked 11th in the nation for
households with children who experience food hardship. Almost 30% of
households with children struggled with food insecurity.
Winston-Salem was the metropolitan area with the highest rate of
food insecurity among households with children in the US (34.8% of
households with children). Greensboro-High Point was 17th with 28.4%.

text: All, My heartiest of congratulations to all the Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) volunteers and their international sponsoring organizations on this, the 10th anniversary of the first Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) school group contact. It is breathtaking to see all that you have done this past decade. Ham radio operations on ISS started with the first Moscow/USA checkout contact on November 13, 2000—just 11 days after Expedition 1 took up residence on ISS. That paved the way for the historic first school contact between the students at the Burbank School in Burbank, Illinois and Bill Shepherd, KD5GSL on December 21, 2000. Long-time ARISS volunteer Charlie Sufana, AJ9N, mentored that first contact…preparing the Burbank students, teachers and community for an activity that they will remember for the rest of their lives. Since then, the ARISS team's volunteer spirit and can-do attitude have kept the ARISS stations on ISS operational the entire decade--through all 26 crew expeditions. Over 560 schools or organizations have performed ARISS contacts -- inspiring tens of thousands of students and enabling millions and millions, worldwide, to experience the human spaceflight journey and to share in the excitement and camaraderie of the ham radio hobby. The international team has installed antennas and equipment in several ISS modules, deployed SuitSat, delivered ARISSat, and a school contact was a prominent "star" in the IMAX ISS 3D movie. Most importantly, you have inspired a legion of students to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and math. On my desk is a copy of NASA's "Reference Guide to the ISS." I recently noticed that on the back cover is a beautiful photograph of ISS with the Sun shining prominently on one of the ARISS antennas mounted on the Russian Service Module. That photograph reminds me of a story from the U.S. Constitutional Convention when statesmen Benjamin Franklin, looking towards the president's chair, at the back of which a rising sun happened to be painted, observed to a few members near him, that painters had found it difficult to distinguish in their art a rising sun from a setting sun. Franklin said "I have often…looked at that behind the president without being able to tell whether it was rising or setting: But now at length I have the happiness to know that it is a rising and not a setting sun." Indeed….the sun that shines over ARISS is a rising sun. Congratulations to the ARISS international team and their sponsoring organizations!! 73, Frank H. Bauer, KA3HDO December 21, 2010 -- 73- Martha

I've been hanging onto this old Fetzer crate for a while, waiting for the perfect opportunity to upcycle it. I'll take you through the steps for the DIY to make the Mrs. Claus Cookie Co tray, and send you to the source for a free printable. Who is ready to leave out some milk and cookies for Santa?
I have several wooden crates and boxes that I have been wanting to upcycle. I knew that I wanted to make something for Christmas. I had the design in my head, but after several attempts to make my own graphic on PicMonkey, I failed (sad face). And then the heavens opened up and I saw THE idea from another blogger (and one of my blog crushes – shhhh don't tell!). She even included a free downloadable graphic. #SCORE
Wooden Crate
Wood finish (if needed)
1. Since the Fetzer box was a lighter wood of moderate condition, I used some leftover wood finish in a darker color. Two light coats was all that it needed. NOTE – be sure to wear gloves when applying wood finish.
2. I tried to paint the inside of the box a similar color as the printable. Now here's another infamous Holly Bertone DIY fail. The reds clashed a little bit too much, so I mixed in some weathered gray wood finish with the paint. Ummmm…. yeah… so wood finish and chalk paint don't mix well. I will save you the headache and cleanup. #youarewelcome
3. The wood finish wasn't dark enough to cover the lettering. I spent a day thinking about how I wanted to hide it. And then it hit… chalkboard paint!
4. Anyone who knows me, knows that I don't measure anything. I just eyeballed the painters tape. It took three good coats of black chalkboard paint and it turned out great.
Here is the end result! I love the tray, and even with the painting challenge, it all worked out. You can write anything you want on the chalkboard labels.
I want to express my sincere gratitude to Angie over at Kick of Time for her brilliant idea, tutorial, and free printable! As bloggers, we love sharing our ideas, and as I've said before, the goal is to inspire you to make something similar for your home!
The timing couldn't have been more perfect, as when I was finishing up this project, I was also updating some of the pictures from my Grandmother Charlotte's old-fashioned sugar cookie recipe.
