This is an excellent article on childhood obesity. http://www.cnn.com/HEALTH/library/childhood-obesity/FL00058.html
We do have to remember that changing behavior patterns start at home. We must be able to recognize our own ability to control behavior in order to pass good habits on to our children. I will always remember my daughter telling me the reason she doesn't like to exercise is because she never saw me doing it. That hit me pretty hard because I thought back to my own childhood and I never saw my mother exercising either, but she was always on my back to loose weight. How could I lose weight when I had no one to model the tools needed for me to be successful?
I feel like I am making important steps to become more active by incorporating exercise in my routine, eating small portions (of course), and making sure my kids are introduced to vegetables and whole grains at every meal. These are small things that I am doing, but once I make them a habit, my kids will have this as a way of life.

You might be an immature Christian if…
- You rest too much on your observance of Christian duties (ex: Bible reading, prayer, etc.). "As it is a sign of an apostate professor to call of duty, so it is also a note of a young and weak professor to rest too much upon his duties."
- You aren't able to see the faults in your successes. "A weak Christian does not have clear insight into the close and spiritual failing which cleave to his performances."
- You focus your attention on matters of indifference. "Not to know our liberty, and to abuse our liberty, is an argument we have but little grace. Young converts call more things sins than ever God did"
- You neglect your worldly callings. This would be like the Thessalonians who stopped being a working part of society as the waited upon the Second Coming. Neglecting your family, your job, etc. at the expense of "spiritual things" is actually a mark of immaturity.
- You are a respecter of persons. Putting yourself into factions and following men. "To idolize some, and to despise others, argues that you are in weak faith."
- You are easily led away into error and various fads. "Weakness of head argues that grace is not very strong in your heart."
- You are content with the elementary aspects of the faith. Having an unwillingness to "further search into the depths and mysteries of religion" is a mark of immaturity.
- You are strong in emotion but not grounded in truth. The Puritans called this having heat without light. "There are many Christians who have much zeal and affection, but are not solid in their judgment".
- You cannot stand to be argued with or rebuked. "A sharp reproof will discover whether you are of a weak spiritual temper and constitution." If you cannot handle criticism it is a sign of immaturity.
- You trust God for your soul but not your every day life. "There are those who dare trust God for heaven, and yet do not trust Him for earth, but these are of little faith." (From, Borrowed Light)
Additional thought
Another way to look at immaturity is a life in contrast with the fruit of the Spirit (See: "Relationship agreement") or the qualities of love (see, "Qualities of love").
At some point we might feel the need to challenge ourselves and others with the words of the apostle Paul, "Examine yourselves to see if your faith is genuine. Test yourselves." (II Cor. 13:5).
3 marks of a true believer in Philippians 3:3
1. We worship (or serve) by the Spirit of God.
2. We rely on what Christ Jesus has done for us.
3. We put no confidence in human effort.

Curl Fest & Things
But, as I sit here on the beach, soaking up the sun and reading my book 'Crazy Love', I feel like all of that planning can wait a moment. There is no greater feeling than freedom. I don't think having a job traps us and I don't believe people should spend their lives being lazy beach bums, but it's a must-do from time to time; especially since the summer is coming to an end.
This past weekend I attended one of my best friends engagement dinner. It's so exciting to be a part of her wedding as a bridesmaid, but more so to witness her really growing up.We all have that fairytale that we want to live out. Meet the man of our dreams, get married and have children and live happily ever after. Now-and-days, most people don't know how to keep a relationship. So to see someone that I know getting married, it makes me happy!
I also took part as a volunteer at my first Curl Fest. I must say, I didn't know what I really signed up for but despite all of the work put in, it was well worth the experience. This was the 2nd annual curl fest run by Curly Girl Collective that was held in prospect park.
EMBRACE the moments and experiences that you are blessed to have.
Additional: I woke up this morning and read my devotional and it was just a reminder that everything will fall into place as long as I continue to remain dependent on God:
Living in dependence on Me is a glorious adventure. Most people scurry around busily, trying to accomplish things through their own strength and ability. Some succeed enormously; others fail miserably. But both groups miss what life is meant to be: living and working in collaboration with me.
When you depend on me continually, your whole perspective changes. You see miracles happening all around,while others see only natural occurrences and "coincidences." You begin each day with joyful expectation, watching to see what I will do. You accept weakness as a gift from Me, knowing that my power plugs in most readily to consecrated weakness. You keep your friends tentative, knowing that my plans are far superior. You consciously live, move, and have your being in Me, designed that I live in you. I in you, and you in Me. This is the intimate adventure I offer you.

On Friday 11 March we received a Fairtrade Gold award in the category of Best Fairtrade University or College in the South West 2016.
It's the second year running that we've been given the award and we're absolutely delighted that our continued support for the Fairtrade Foundation has been so successful.
Su Steenberg, PA to Director of AHS/Project Coordinator, was at the awards and collected the certificate on behalf of the University.
The event took place at the At-Bristol Science Centre and hosted by ethical beauty and wellbeing expert, Liz Earle MBE, whose range of Fairtrade Gold jewellery was recently displayed at The Edge.
Following on from Fairtrade Fortnight, the ceremony continued the Sit Down for Breakfast, Stand Up For Farmers campaign which highlights the plight of poorly paid farmers in developing countries. This is something that is at the very core of the Fairtrade initiative.
There were 68 organisations shortlisted for the awards, including the University of Bath. Between us we've spent nearly £500,000 on Fairtrade products, making a massive difference to the lives of producers in developing countries.

By Wern Sze Gill
Claypot noodles, also known as Yee Mee or Poh Chai Noodles, are a type of crispy noodles made from wheat flour and palm oil. It somewhat resembles spaghetti in shape and texture, and has a unique tasty flavour. The Yee Mee noodles are commonly used in claypot cooking and warms you up on a chilly or rainy day.
Like most noodles, they can be cooked in soup or stir-fried. Their inherent flavour also creates a fragrant broth from boiling the noodles alone. As Yee Mee tends to soak up quite a bit of the gravy when cooked, it should be eaten immediately after it is cooked and is definitely not a dish you would want to takeaway. The noodles should also not be overcooked. The texture of the noodles should be soft but chewy.

BAGHDAD — Iraq's prime minister signaled Wednesday that he was open to the eventual return of American troops as trainers, underscoring the reality that the United States is likely to be involved in this country's security even after the last soldiers depart in the coming weeks.
"No doubt, the U.S. forces have a role in providing training of Iraqi forces," Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki said after meeting Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., who is here to mark the withdrawal and to inaugurate a new phase in relations between the United States and Iraq.
Mr. Maliki insisted that Iraq could provide for its internal security. And he made much of Iraq's desire to build a relationship with the United States as a sovereign country, dealing with Washington on the basis of national interest and "mutual respect."
But his comments suggested that for all the solemn pageantry of a war's ending, there is likely to be considerable continuity in the security relationship between the United States and Iraq, as it struggles to contain terrorist attacks by insurgent groups.
The inability of the United States and Iraq to agree on legal immunity for American troops led to President Obama's announcement in October that the last soldiers would leave the country by the end of the year.Continue reading the main story
But administration officials have suggested that once the withdrawal is complete — a politically significant milestone in both the United States and Iraq — the two sides could negotiate the return of American troops to the country for training purposes.
Mr. Biden on Wednesday reaffirmed that the two countries would maintain a "robust security relationship," adding that it was up to the Iraqis to decide "what you think that relationship should be."
"We will continue our discussions with your government over the substance of our security arrangements, including areas of training, intelligence and counterterrorism," he said.
One area of lingering concern is the role of Iran in fomenting attacks on Americans. Mr. Biden told Mr. Maliki that he did not want "Iran to use our presence in Iraq as a target," said a senior administration official, who took part in the discussions.
There are now only 13,000 soldiers left in Iraq, and their ranks are dwindling by 500 a day, though the United States will leave a vestigial force as liaison officers and to guard the embassy in Baghdad.
Mr. Biden cited the withdrawal as proof that the United States keeps its promises. And the administration was eager to keep the focus on departures rather than on potential future missions.
A senior administration official on Wednesday emphasized that there were currently no discussions with Iraq about future deployments of American troops.
With both countries eager to turn the page, much of the meeting time on Wednesday was devoted to other concerns like trade, energy and agriculture investment, and educational exchanges. Mr. Biden spoke of American companies investing in Iraq and Iraqis going to American universities.
"We are embarking on a new path together, a new phase in this relationship," he said, as he sat next to Mr. Maliki beneath twinkling chandeliers at the governmental palace.
To underscore the emphasis on nonmilitary engagement, Mr. Biden noted that his 15-member delegation included Jeffrey D. Feltman, an assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern affairs, and Dan Poneman, deputy secretary of energy.
Mr. Maliki, who was flanked by members of his cabinet and other officials, said he hoped that American companies would pour into Iraq with the same vigor as American troops once did.
But in a telling aside that appeared to speak to the magnitude of Iraq's challenges, Mr. Maliki and Mr. Biden seemed to speak past each other at one point.
Mr. Maliki said, "We are looking forward to the future of Iraq, which is going to be built on the outcome of this meeting." Mr. Biden, standing next to him, gently demurred, saying, "To suggest that the future of Iraq rests on our personal relationship, I think gives us too much credit."
Mr. Biden said the "success of Iraq will rest upon the vision of you and the civilian leadership."Continue reading the main story

Esquimalt Recreation Centre Renovation and Expansion
Esquimalt Recreation Centre Renovation and ExpansionEsquimalt, BC 2006
Project Description
Built in 1974, the Esquimalt Recreation Centre has a proud history of serving its community of approximately 17,000 residents. By all criteria — public acceptance, capital cost, operational efficiency and, most important, guest response — the revitalized facility is ready to meet the needs of its residents well into the 21st century.
At the entry, a dramatic wooden structure is emblematic of the town's roots as a Canadian naval base and maritime center. It mimics a ship's ribs, wrapping the building on two sides — housing a two-story wellness/fitness center to the west and a new aquatics center to the east. These strong design elements are encased in durable, costeffective Galvalume®.
Inside, guests are welcomed into a new galleria — formerly an underutilized, enclosed outdoor courtyard — that is linked directly to and showcases the major activity areas. The galleria directs borrowed light into the facility's many multipurpose rooms and public spaces. Another example of where natural light is maximized without compromising safety and operational considerations is in the natatorium, which features a glazed wall on the east and a clerestory on the south.
Long views, both internal and external, connect the facility to its surroundings — specifically, a park located adjacent to the center and the local neighborhood. This layout provides maximum visibility while ensuring the safety of staff and guests.

The governorship of Midhat Pasha (1869-1872)
The most dramatic and far-reaching changes in Iraq are associated with the introduction of the new Ottoman provincial system and the governorship of Midhat Pasha (1869-72). Midhat was one of the chief architects of the Ottoman Vilayet Law of 1864, and he had applied it with great success in the Tuna vilayet (Danubian province) before arriving in Baghdad in 1869 with a handpicked corps of advisers and assistants.
Midhat transformed the face of Baghdad by ordering the demolition of a section of the old city wall to allow room for rational urban expansion. He established a tramway to suburban Kazimayn, a public park, a water supply system, a hospital, textile mills, a savings bank, paved and lighted streets, and the only Tigris River bridge built in the city until the 20th century. Several new schools were opened, modern textbooks were printed on the press that Midhat founded, and Iraq's first newspaper, Az-Zawra', began publication. To develop the economy, he promoted regular steamer service on the Tigris and Euphrates and shipping in the Persian Gulf, set up ship repair yards at Basra, began dredging operations on the Shatt al-'Arab, made some minor improvements in the irrigation system, and expanded date production in the south. Municipalities and administrative councils were established in accordance with the new vilayet regulations, and military conscription was enforced.
But perhaps the most fundamental changes resulted from Midhat's attempt to apply the Ottoman Land Law of 1858, which aimed at classifying and regularizing land tenure and registering land titles to individuals who would be responsible for paying the applicable taxes. His objectives were to pacify and settle the tribes, encourage cultivation, and improve tax collection. However, the traditional system of tribal and communal landholding and the fear that land registration would lead to greater government control, heavier tax burdens, and extension of military conscription to the tribal areas--combined with inefficient and inequitable administration--limited the effectiveness of the reform and produced unintended results. Most land was registered not in the names of individual peasants and tribesmen but rather in the names of tribal sheikhs, urban-based merchants, and former tax farmers. Some tribal leaders became landlords, tying them more closely to the Ottoman administration and widening the gap between them and their tribesmen. Other sheikhs refused to cooperate. A combination of developments stemming from the reforms begun by Midhat Pasha resulted in a decline of nomadism in Iraq; the proportion of nomads fell from about 35 percent of the population in 1867 to approximately half that figure by the end of the Ottoman period.
As vali of Baghdad and commander of the Ottoman 6th Army, Midhat's authority extended north to include Mosul, Kirkuk, and As-Sulaymaniyah as well as Basra and Al-Hasa in the south. He personally led an inspection tour to Kuwait and Al-Hasa and, taking advantage of divisions within the Sa'udi family, sought to reassert Ottoman sovereignty over the Wahhabi dominions in Najd. His success in the latter effort was ephemeral, as were many of the projects begun by Midhat. Nevertheless, his brief rule set in motion developments that profoundly changed virtually every aspect of life in Iraq and tied it more closely to Istanbul than ever before.

Summer 2015 was all about street art for Big Ronnie & I. We found it everywhere, and chased it down when we could. I placed my model where he needed to be, but now it's become bigger than our fun project. We are enjoying every hunt, just as we have been, but now I'm documenting the hell out of a worldwide art movement! I have been talking about my photo project from time to time here on StellaBella, but the stories keep coming.
Not only have I been shooting James Goldcrown while he paints his Love Walls all over downtown Manhattan, we were also lucky enough to catch Fumero working on a Scorpio piece for the "What's Your Sign?" Mural Project for Love Heals, early one Sunday morning in October.
Fumero, or Fumeroism as he is referred, or more-so the phenomenon and excitement of the artwork that is - FUMERO has become a huge part of the Brooklyn/NYC Street Art Movement over the last few years, and he's proven that he paves his own way. While taking on subject matter from celebrity portraits, abstracted animals, to oversized figures - every step of the way - you are certain what artist's work you are looking at.
The Wild-Style letter design he mastered at a young age transformed as he matured, and his dynamic energy is still apparent in his later subjects. His teenage years focused on graffiti, cartoon characters and color schemes, attending county college in NJ as a graphic design major. He later studied at SVA in NYC, as a cartoon/illustration major. This was where he developed his personal style, and the infancy of Fumero was born.
The technique he has created illustrates a harmonious interaction among bold contour lines, and shapes filled with vivid color. His hard edges and intense contrasting colors interact with each other, creating a moving energy that is powerfully projected to the viewer.
"My art is an expression of my character; bold and uninhibited, assertive and unorthodox."
This quote from the artist encompasses his work to a T. What is apparent throughout is the way his art honors his family. His "Grampa" and "Table" series have really touched me. There are some versions that have a sentence above (there are so many), we found this one (below), close to another of his murals this summer. I shot & posted it to Instagram. It was later used in an article for SpoiledNYC , about Fumero being 1 of 9 fresh new artists to look out for. I'm honored to have my version used to show off his vision!
I look forward to our trip to Yonkers, to shoot the large scale Grampa.
This year, the Welling Court Mural Project was focused on women, or topics related to women's rights. Fumero decided the Nefertiti was the best subject to depict a woman's strength.
|Mars Blackmon
|Roberto Clemente
|Miles Davis
|Bob Marley
As you can see, Big Ronnie is an enormous fan of Fumero. If given the choice of any street artist to capture "the beard" in portrait, he would want it to be him!
This quote (below) from the artist reflects my opinion of meeting him for the first time. Not only was he humble, but so honored to be part of a something bigger than just himself. Exposing more people to art, and being open to looking at the world differently. Street Art is the progression of what we understood as art growing up, with the influence of hip-hop over the 1980's and 90's. It is an important creative form that will only continue to evolve!
"Art brings people together and doing my small part to help create an outdoor gallery scene here in Brooklyn and throughout NYC is important to me. Everybody walks the streets but not everybody walks into galleries to see art. I'm bringing art to the people in public places and brightening up Brooklyn one wall at a time. Why should communities have barren walls when they can have the colors of life filling up empty areas of urban decay."
The morning that we met him, Fumero thanked me for my participation in his own social media movement, and acknowledged how grateful he was for my photographs, and participation in this street art movement. I was touched to have him just recognize us - when he first saw Ronnie, he recognized him immediately from our feed!
When we said goodbye to our new friend, Fumero - he shook Big Ronnie's hand, and said with nothing but Brooklyn love to us both, "Have a Positive Energy Day!"
Thank you Fumero, for all of your positivity & all the beauty you spread over the world, and most importantly our home, the Planet - Brooklyn, USA.
Keep your head up, and see the beauty all around you!
La vita è bella,

If you hire a contractor to do improvements to real property or you are a subcontractor hired to work on real property, you should be aware that the contractor and the subcontractor is entitled to prompt payment for their services. Prompt payment to contractors is required by law in Chapter 28 of the Texas Property Code.
Chapter 28 provides that if an owner or a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner receives a written payment request from a contractor for an amount that is allowed to the contractor under the contract for properly performed work or suitably stored or specially fabricated materials, the owner must pay the amount to the contractor, less any amount withheld as authorized by law, not later than the 35th day after the date the owner receives the request for payment.
Additionally, a contractor who receives a payment from an owner in connection with a contract to improve real property must pay each of its subcontractors the portion of the owner's payment, including interest, if any, that is attributable to work properly performed or materials suitably stored or specially fabricated as provided under the contract by that subcontractor, to the extent of that subcontractor's interest in the owner's payment. This payment required must be made not later than the seventh day after the date the contractor receives the owner's payment.

"Elysium" has a nice premise: a 140-odd years from now, the privileged few live in a giant space station, Elysium, an idyllic habitat complete with suburban mansions and swimming pools, high above the polluted and diseased Earth. But that's where the good ideas end. "Elysium" involves a desperate man named Max, who has only a few days to live after a radiation accident at work, and a race to upload society-upending data—which a lot of bad people would kill for— from his brain into a central computer of Elysium before his time runs out. Doing so would make everyone, a citizen of Elysium, and therefore privy to free health care—you lie down in a bed that heals you if you are stricken with a degenerative illness and reconstructs your face if it was blown off by a grenade. The citizens of Elysium have this technology, the billions suffering on Earth don't. Max, played by Matt Damon, and about to die, wants to get up there and heal himself. At the same time, the idea is to save humanity, and his loved one's daughter, because he and some other criminals got their hands on lines and lines of code that would reset the whole system and have it stored in Max's brain with the help of an exo-skeleton, which also grants him superhuman strength.
The film is directed by Neil Blomkamp, who made "District 9." The great thing about that movie, sharp and almost satiric, was that it could be summed up in a few words: NO ALIENS ALLOWED. It reversed the dominant alien-invasion concept, and was a stroke of pure genius. What "Elysium" has to say is neither particularly sharp nor satiric, nor does it awe you; it's an angry fists-in-the-air film about how the wealthy will fall and social equality will prevail. The ending has gleaming medical ships descending down from Elysium and healing the world, which is nice, to be sure, but while watching all I could think of was how "Elysium" seemed to be the product of a group of film students' Red Bull-besotted minds, while they were playing HALO and television coverage of Occupy Wall Street was on in the background. "Elysium" has great visual effects, and has moments that would make for an impressive reel, but the story reeks of an amateur, inferior, careless, flawed quality.
There's a scene early on that demonstrates the unblinking iciness of the Elysium security chief, played by Jodie Foster, and a lot of other things too. Three spaceships, full of refugees seeking medical attention, launch from Earth and attempt to reach Elysium. Foster, with parsed lips, and the rest of her team watch the trajectory of the ships on a big screen which flashes big words for the audience's sake. She doesn't order them to be shot down immediately but instead sends word down to one of her agents on Earth, who fires missiles up into the atmosphere with a shoulder-mounted rocket launcher. Two of the ships are blown up; the other does basic evasive maneuvering and manages to land on Elysium (what happened to the missile?), strewing refugees all across perfectly kept green lawns and causing cocktail glasses to be dropped in panic. Homeland Security, represented by gleaming red robots, run around with Tasers. It's a big scandal. You bet. My mouth was agape with incredulity. Are you telling me that the space station home to the richest people (not) on Earth doesn't have some kind of automated defense system? Can anyone pick up a big gun and send a missile up to Elysium, or with a little amount of luck fly a spaceship onto someone's mansion? This might seem like nitpicking, but it's the kind of filling-in-the-details world-building that is woefully lacking and makes "Elysium," so full of holes that it's sinking, suffer. C+

For gamers, obtaining the wireless network in home can be a much advantages. The working of the wireless booster is really straightforward. Finally, the 5-Ghz spectrum puts you in a comparatively un-crowded space so you can get far better performance from the wireless connections. Check this informative article on how best to connect to wireless network, and after that access Internet website. This may conveniently display information on the movies you're viewing. Take care which you've selected the proper wireless network and you're not unknowingly stealing from somebody else.
Wireless broadband has every one of the benefits of conventional types of broadband. With an individual online connection as well as a wireless hot spot in a house, cable-free online connectivity could be provided to multiple wireless-capable devices. There's not a whole lot of difference between gigabit Ethernet and 200 MBps regarding speeds. Wireless networks might be secured or unsecured.
First-party vendors offer you great accessories to game consoles so as to give ease and comfort on the planet of gaming. Whichever design you decide on, consider the sort of interface it must be sure it can connect to your own system and examine the data rate to have the quickest option available. Many routers come with a 1 step setup CD, that'll walk you as go through the whole process. As an example, would you like a router that's fast enough to run smoothly within an office or house environment. It distributes internet connection throughout the house which truly is a very good thing in case you have multiple computers at home. Be sure that wires are closely knit to be able to prevent any issues with the connection.
Just about all computers which are manufactured today possess the wireless LAN card installed inside them. It's all hidden within the notebook which is slightly more complicated to set up than other sorts of wireless adapters. Both devices are readily available in just about any electronics store. These different computers could be different desktops or mobile laptops which doesn't really matter except you will have to find the proper wireless adapter for all these computers. With a huge variety of laptops, PC's as well as notebooks today you're able to obtain a software programs which not only inform you when connectivity was lost but will also aid you to re-establish it. Xbox 360's very first way is to find a Wireless Network Adapter. The experts provide several easy ways to maximize or increase your WiFi signal and of course to raise its range. HDMI connection will provide you with Full 1080p Output. Internal antennas are rather common in such devices for them to remain small although a number of them also have external antennas which could fold or flip outside of the adapter. PCI wireless adpaters are also among the most typical varieties available today.
Many times, it is tough to determine whether network adapter was switched off or disabled. You should have to install any software that arrives with your wireless adapter. Besides this option, you too can use the $150 optional wireless adapter. The optimal solution within this regard is always to replace the complete adapter. The adapter does a handful of jobs.
Since wireless adapters are really a significant part setting up your own network and total performance, don't forget to pick a reliable manufacturer known for making quality hardware. If you truly wish to extend your range you will need to bring an external wireless antenna in your wireless access point and also your laptop. The perfect way to be 100% certain you will be connected to your own Xbox with no wireless adapter is to receive in contact using a network professional. Additionally, not all drivers of wireless cards hold the choice to switch into monitor network mode as it is not save in any respect. Whether you pick an internal or external device, look at the way that it connects to your own computer and be sure you have the suitable form of interface. These adapters may even be used if you are moving around, like say, in an automobile. Overall, you can safely conclude the wireless adapter is really a worthy investment. Examine the transfer rate as well as the adapter's range to be sure it is going to satisfy your needs. I wish to make my subwoofer wireless and must confirm they'll transmit a very low frequency signal, i.e. down to 20Hz. W3 offers CD-quality HD stereo sound free of reduction in audio quality. Don't forget, there might really be a fire hazard because of broken power adapter.
Wireless routers are the ideal networking device for virtually any residence. Then connecting together with the wireless router is just a straightforward job. Finally, establish connection by means of your router, by utilizing the network setup wizard. The one thing which you are required to know is the way to configure a wireless router. In case you are experiencing issues with the range of your own router you are able to add wireless range extenders to augment the coverage of your own network. Next you are going to require a wireless router. Use this suggestions to enhance the performance of your own wireless router to attain far better connectivity and speed. The adapter also gives you the widest range you're able to possible get for signals to your own console, in order to have it in just about any room of the home, no matter wherever your router is situated. Therefore, take a look at various router models to learn how many devices it may connect to, without needing to compromise on the performance. It's been said that when there's a very clear field of site between the router as well as the device, it's going to be able enough to detect it entirely from practically a mile away while utilizing the perfect setup. Incorrect configuration of your own encryption settings have become the most frequent cause of wireless network difficulties.

In the winter, I complain that my knitting photos are thin on the ground because there is insufficient light or lousy weather. Here I am surrounded with gorgeous spring light and ample opportunity to photograph knits… and I've been too busy.
The end of this past semester was incredibly demanding. I spoke at a science & art symposium, which required weeks of preparation. I postponed my thesis and graduation until the fall. I took a trip to Boston. I got a new sailboat (early graduation gift from my parents) and I have been pretty obsessed with getting it ready to take out on the water (and learning to sail). I attended a conference for a week in Los Angeles (didn't even bring a knitting project – what is wrong with me?!). It's just gone on.
And now that I'm back, I've been taking an Organic Chemistry class at the university down the road. It's a 6-week intensive course with lab, meeting all day every Monday through Thursday, with hours and hours of homework, reading, and lab reports every evening. It is no exaggeration when I say I've had barely any time for anything else. Oh, but I'm trying to stay on top of work projects and my art history thesis too. It is exhausting.
The thing is, I haven't lost interest in knitting. Or in knit-blogging. The scarce few minutes a day I spend looking through knitting blogs are some of my most pleasant moments, and I daydream about picking back up needles and yarn.
Like many knitters, I am currently obsessed with two Hannah Fettig lightweight cardigans. First, the Whisper Cardigan from the spring 2009 Interweave Knits, which I've cast on in this surprisingly lovely Knit Picks Palette in Twig:
This yarn has a history, as I originally bought it to make my ex-boyfriend a Henry scarf. I decided the color was not right next to his greenish-brown coat and when I thought about it next to his neck, I opted for softer Knit Picks Gloss instead. Then we broke up, so I had 800+ yards of both yarns sitting in my stash cabinet kind of mocking me.
I decided I would quite like a slinky little fly-away cardigan to wear over spring and summer dresses, and I love the way this project is going so far. I'm just about to start the second sleeve, but I've been totally remiss in taking any progress photos so far. I hope I'm not lying when I say, "Soon."
This project got me all amped up for using thin yarns to make cardigans, so I went on a rash of queuing sweater-type projects using the laceweight I'd previously designated for various shawls. Making and attempting to wear my Flower Basket Shawl was an interesting lesson for me. While I can always go for a good scarf or rectangular wrap, I feel really awkward in a triangular shawl. I'm not ready to say they're not my style yet, but they may not be.
Part of my attraction to knitting is this idea that you can create whatever you can imagine. I often open my closet and dream about all the types of garments I'd like to have floating out of it, which is how I know I really need to learn to sew. Whenever I put on a sleeveless dress, I open the right half of my armoire (where I store the sweaters, shrugs etc), and I wish some light-weight, airy colorful little cardigans with 3/4 sleeves would spring into being. Fortunately, I can knit them! And this is wonderful!
I wound one skein of Knit Picks Gloss Lace in Aegean, in preparation for the Featherweight Cardigan, my second obsession-sweater of this summer. I've already bought and swooned over the pattern (such elegant construction), and I can't wait to make it.
I finished another project, too, and predictably, not made time for FO shots.
This brings the total to-photograph and to-post list for FOs up to:
– three hats
– two pairs of socks
– two shrugs
– one scarf
The list for WIPs is staggering and ridiculous, so I'm gonna leave that one alone until I catch up around here. I even have an indigo-dyeing project and articles on mordants and natural dyeing from, well, a year ago. Yikes.
I'm going to try to make some time for knitting in this coming week if at all possible. I really, really miss it!

Screen sharing software is an inevitable part of work process in teamwork or in big corporations. Why? Because it is the most convenient way to support users, share data and repair any going out of order in remote way. As a result, the productivity of the team workers grows, the users get well-timed assistance and there is no need to wait for arrival of the IT specialist. Moreover, it is a great and fun way to educate your near and dear how to use some new tools or programs on their computers.
This site is a brainchild of LogMeIn creators (the service that provides remote access to your own PC). One of the distinctive features of this service is that it is not simple screen sharing. It is a tool that enables you to demonstrate your actions to 10 users, you can give control over the device to other person, discuss it in the chat and transfer files. More than that, it is possible to view your actions with help of mobile app.
Millions of people use Skype, but not many know about it. The feature of screen sharing opens with Premium plan when you make a video call and via the voice call if you are using free plan.
Great tool that takes only 20 seconds to load. The process is simple – you recive a code and send it to the user you want to share screen with. The second user will get access to your device even if he uses a smartphone. The one thing to take into consideration is Java support – the tool works on Java, so you will have to enable Java on your Apple device as Macs' Java is usually disabled.
With help of this tool it is possible to take control over mouse and keyboard, however, again, this tool requires Java. And, as the tool provides one-to-one connection, there may be problems with using it in corporate networks.
Perfect tool for online meetings that can last up to 6 hours. The site is user-friendly and all you need is to register, that takes minutes.

Have you ever wandered into a restaurant only to be confused by a menu that goes on for ages? So have I. That is until I started blogging. But one genius has came up with a restaurant that serves 3 dishes and only 3 dishes with no options for sides whatsoever. It is so simple that they do not even have a menu. This is the famous Burger & Lobster and its £20 menu. If its name does not give it away, the restaurant literally serves burger and lobsters. Coming in for lunch at 2pm on Saturday, I was thankful to have waited for a short 15 minutes before being seated. I have heard other people who have waited for over 2 hours!
Diners at Burger & Lobster have a choice between the beef burger, the poached/grilled lobster and the lobster roll. Jacques and I decided to share a serve of poached lobster and the beef burger.
The kind chefs in the kitchen help split them in half for us so there was no need for any cutting whatsoever.
The burger half:
We asked the burger to come medium rare to get the best of the juicy patty. The burger came brilliantly red in the middle so it was no surprise that the first bite was intensely juicy. Simply seasoned with salt and pepper, it was delicious! Jacques on the other hand thought it was a little too red. I can see his concerns as certain parts looked really red haha.
The lobster half:
To get the best of the lobster, we opted for the poached one. Having it poached means you get a flesh that amplifies the naturally sweet-briny flavours of the crustacean. Not to mention, the flesh stays extremely juicy if poached for the right amount of time. Then comes the best part, the meaty claw! Biting into its meaty flesh was every bit satisfying! Almost like biting into a giant drumstick! Dip it in the accompanying parsley butter for an extra kick of flavour!
Burger & Lobster served me an enjoyable meal that day. If the queue is not too overbearing, I would definitely come back for another meal. Thinking back, if I came back feeling really hungry, I might even consider ordering one lobster and burger for myself! They were both amazingly tasty dishes. In saying that, I admit that the lobster alone would might really small. In fact, the body of the lobster was rather small, but remember so was my £20 pound note! Thankfully their perfectly fried fries and salad made help complete the meal.
Visit 2:
Burgers & Lobster was an enjoyable meal for me back when I was in London. However, there was a lingering feeling of incompleteness as I have not been able to try their Lobster Roll which is the final item on the menu. Fortunately I revisited the London and brought a couple of friends to try out Burger & Lobster.
Lobster Roll
Filled to the brim with sweet lobster flesh and served between a brioche bun brings heaven a little closer to earth. It was essentially eating a lobster without the fuss of peeling the shells. But is it the exact same? Well this is a definite no. Nothing quite beats the flesh of the plump juicy lobster flesh you get from a freshly prepared lobster. The Lobster roll was a convenient thing but for the best flavour, I would definitely call the Lobster which I did too :)!

The regex i wrote:
(.*?)<a class=fl(.*?)(.*?)<a class=fl(.*?)
By using regex verifier software, the regex i use seems to be valid, but after executing it, it says "Unknown modifier".
Do you have any idea what happens? I've spent an hour on this, but still have no idea. Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks thanks!

$output = eregi_replace("(.*?)<a class=fl(.*?)(.*?)<a class=fl(.*?)", "hello word", $output);
$output = preg_replace("/(.*?)<a class=fl(.*?)(.*?)<a class=fl(.*?)/is", "hello world", $output);
but it seems both sentences doesn't work too. very frustrated.....
If you need to extract some information from the code, you should use preg_match() or preg_match_all(), and work with the "matches" array.

Today I'm releasing my latest book, BETTER THAN NONE. For those who've liked my other books, this one's very different. It's still a romance at its core, but it's loosely based on my journey with my mother as we fought, and lost, her battle with cancer. Needless to say, it's a very personal story, but it's still fiction. There was no handsome doctor in my reality. What was there, though, was an experience unlike anything I've ever gone through.
To those of you who've not just lost loved ones, but who've also been their caretakers, my heart and admiration go out to you. Studies show that women in their 40s are the primary caretakers for aging relatives… because we don't have enough on our plates.
But BETTER THAN NONE isn't just about illness and death. It's about one woman's journey to find herself and stop being the person she used to be. It's about learning not to sweat the small stuff, because there are far worse things. It's about opening up and letting people in, even the most unlikely of people. It's about finding sweetness and purity in caring for someone who means more than life itself.
Be strong. Enjoy the time we have here. Don't be stingy with your love.
I hope you enjoy my new book. If you do, please review it on Amazon, see link below.

Sustainable theme at Davos
Posted by:
Christian Ulbrich
Chief Executive Officer, EMEA
The following is an excerpt from a blog post at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Click here to read the entire blog.
While real estate is not a main topic at the WEF conference, it definitely is a big part of many of the questions which are discussed there.
The subtitle of this year's meeting is "Committed to improving the state of the world." As you know, real estate is key to the aim of reducing carbon emissions, and we at Jones Lang LaSalle have the skill sets to help. It will be necessary to combine modern building technology and learn a more about developing and using renewable energy to create a really different carbon footprint in the industrialised world.

This is a second part to the post 'the shift to optical' where I look at the current state and future trend for device interconnect technologies and see if there is a trend towards optical technologies.
The proliferation of devices that can display rich media has been causing data bottle neck problems. Harald Haas recently highlighted the congestion on radio networks and how this is expected to get worse. When the wireless network capacity is limited or unreliable we often reach for a cabled solution, e.g. a fixed line telephone, an Ethernet cable, or a USB interconnect. There have been significant improvements in cabled systems over the years. The same is true of wireless systems although the data rates have always lagged behind.
Wired interconnect can transfer large data files (e.g. video) quickly, but it would be much nicer if this could all be done wirelessly. The good news is that there are wireless technologies around the corner that promise very high transfer speeds.
In the table below I have highlighted 3 wired interconnect technologies that are at the top end of what is on the market today. i.e. FireWire, USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt. All of these use wires rather than optical fibres although Thunderbolt considered fibre but reverted to conductors in order to carry power.
Data density
|FireWire 800
|800 Mbps
|5 Gbps
|2x 10 Gbps
Wireless (current)
|Wi-Fi – IEEE 802.11n
|150 Mbps
|3 Mbps
|4 Mbps
Wireless (future)
|2 Gbps
|1 Gbps
The table also contains the current wireless technologies that can be used for transferring data between devices today, i.e. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and IrDA. Only Wi-Fi currently offers very high data rates. The IEEE 802.11.n in most implementations provides up to 150Mbit/s (in theory the standard can go to 600Mbit/s) although in practice you receive considerably less than this. Note that one out of three of these is an optical technology.
Then looking ahead the table has 3 future wireless technologies; WiGig, GigaIR and Li-Fi. Note that 2 out of three of these technologies are optical. Prior to WiGig, the new IEEE 802.11.ac standard at 5GHz promises up to 1Gbit/s in the future, although at MWC I saw a rate of 200Mbit/s over a short distance being proudly demonstrated by one of the leading players using a prototype system. WiGig has claims of up to 7Gbit/s but in practice we might expect maybe 1.2Gbit/s or perhaps 2Gbit/s . GigaIR is being developed by the Infrared Data Association (IrDA) and is aiming for 1Gbit/s. Li-Fi is close to1Gbit/s in lab demonstrators using commercial light bulbs with the promise of much greater rates with higher bandwidth LEDs.
We usually compare communications technology by looking at their maximum data rates. However, this provides a maximum under ideal conditions (short distances with no interference). Data rates can diminish quite rapidly under normal non-ideal conditions for some technologies. Radio based communication in particular suffers if several radio interferers operate in the same band in the same area. This spectral congestion is rapidly increasing with the proliferation of wireless radio systems. Data density (measured in bps per unit of area) is a much more useful way to compare these technologies. So the table also includes a relative measure of data density for each technology.
Extremely high data densities can be achieved with wired systems since there is little cross-talk interference between cables. The next in line are the optical wireless systems since the interference is directional and is well contained. Li-Fi has the best data density since the optical output from the LED light bulbs may greatly exceed that of infra-red. WiGig is short range and requires complex antenna configurations to maintain directionality. Another interesting comparison will be that of cost. The optical systems use direct modulation of the light carrier and so are simple to implement, whereas WiGig requires additional radio and antenna circuits.
Wired systems shifted to optical technology to deliver very high data rates. The indicators are that wireless systems will be following a similar trend.

i usually go to the outdoor art show at city hall every year. i like checking out the art, and there is so much of it to see! sometimes i will go expecting to see friends there, and never bump into them. sometimes i know people exhibiting and i never manage to find their booths. this year, there was lots of beautiful stuff, and signs at the tents suggesting that you get the artist's permission before photographing their work (only right and polite). i did take a few photos this year but it's hard to capture all the striking pieces of art that are gathered together here. there is always a great mix of media though i'll usually gravitate toward the paintings. sadly, the piece of paper on which i wrote some of these artists names is not making itself readily apparent so i won't be able to tell you everybody who was responsible for this great stuff. if anybody recognizes an artist, shout out. and if any artist happens to come along and find their art here and would like me to take the photos down, just let me know.
first up some photos of julia hepburn's dioramas. i fell in love with "fausta", a diorama of hers in a boutique, and then saw more at this show last year. i love her projects because they are so wonderfully bizarre and detailed. i can lose myself in her little scenes for a long time and i wish i had some in my house. i really recommend looking at these pieces in the largest image size possible. i can only put small sizes here, or they won't fit on my blog but you can find larger versions of these photos by clicking on 'em.
these last two i tried to get a little closer so you can see the detail of the tiny books..
these next two photos of beautiful and delicate ceramics are just a sampling of great work by an old friend, ms. julie moon. she also gave me one of those lovely poppy pins. i know you're envious.
here's where i start to lose it on the artist names. i have no clue who this was by. it was beautiful though. we saw a lot of painting on plastic? plexiglass? it's interesting to see the trends that emerge at the art show each year. this was definitely a medium that was being used a lot.
i really liked these paintings. the artist had an eastern european name. i think the initials were m.j. or m.r. i love the texture of these paintings. if i was to write a gothic novel i think i would like him to do the cover. the first one of these three was initially my favourite, but now i am leaning towards the third.
corry was a big fan of these bees painted on reclaimed metal cabinetry though after she cooled somewhat and i warmed. i thought it was interesting that he seemed to paint on them as is (spills and stains and marking were kept intact, rather than cleaned off). i want to say the artist's name is brian turnbull? trenchard? but i don't think it is. something like that though.
this was a very popular booth -- mixed media metal art. i can't remember his name. first name started with a t. it was a busy people-filled art show, so inevitably you are seeing shoulders in some of these photos.
these were neat but hard to photograph. again, can't remember the artist's name. the pieces were made of books that had been treated in some kind of wash, and they all these little cut-out windows in them with almost a holographic ghostly image inside. you can barely see the woman in this one peeping out. i am always torn when books are used as a medium for something else (i think the same artist had created a bunch of purses with old hard cover book covers) but these were really allusive, and i liked them.
it was hard to get a clear shot of this fibre art but i thought my bird-lovin' friend patty would like it. it was a like a lovely curtain of hemp birds. i think it won a fibre award too.
i think the initials for this artist were a.o. but don't quote me on that. i really liked this little metal forest. it kind of broke my heart. funny how art is like that. corry was musing on it too when she went crazy for the bees. sometimes you can never understand what it is about a piece of art that draws you to it, and yet it's capable of drawing you close over and over again.
sucker for pop culture that i am, i left these three by jason edmiston, for last. i really enjoyed the fusion of the cereal monsters with the classic film versions -- while it seems to me that those cereals were inspired by the films this painting really makes the iconography meld together. look at bela lugosi/count chocula! and who could resist the creature of the black lagoon in a bubble bath? while i was standing there a boy came along with his mum, and said, "that stormtrooper is the coolest" and i turned to him and agreed emphatically. it's nice that there are always kids at the show, it gives them a chance to see that art isn't stuffy, or stuck up, or always meant to be shut up and away from people. it gets a chance to take a great big breath of open air and saturate one place until it is bursting at least once a year in toronto.
a blog about words: particularly in book form, and also there will be ideas that strike me, and want to be spread, and sometimes i will post videos or show you what i see around me. i think it's fantastic that we all have digital cameras now and can record the beauty of the outside, and take the focus off of our internal eternal i.

Yom Hazikaron preparation: Of grave importance
A recent article estimates that over 22,000 Israeli soldiers have died for their country since its establishment in 1948. In the last year alone, the Israel Defense Forces – along with the rest of the nation – has mourned the loss of 40 soldiers.
On Yom HaZikaron (which begins the evening of May 4 this year), we will pay tribute to our fallen soldiers, honoring them for their bravery and their humanity.
What many don't realize is that Yom HaZikaron also serves as a day of mourning for those who were killed as a result of terrorism.
For the families of murdered soldiers and terror fatalities, it is a very emotional time of year. It is also very lonely. Though thousands mourn the loss of loved ones, the pain is personal and isolating.
It is for this reason that OneFamily organizes an annual campaign to "prepare" the graves of fallen soldiers and victims of terror in advance of Yom HaZikaron. Several days before Israel's Memorial Day, OneFamily volunteers visit every grave – beginning at Har Herzl and ending at Har Hamenuchot – leaving behind a memorial candle and a letter.
It is not enough to remember every soldier and victim – their families must know that others share their pain, that we all mourn together with them.
The fallen are our brothers, sisters, sons and daughter. We may not share blood, but we are all one family.

Tucker and Keaton at the animal show.
I was surprised she actually wanted to touch the Starfish.
Keaton just wanted to look.
Did you know that they will wrap around your hand?
Keaton is such a daddy's boy.
Shelby at the park.
Too cool for school
Enjoying the sun!
Las Vegas!!!
The Monte Carlo
The view from our window.
I have been CRAVING some sun. I am such a warm weather, beach girl and these long Utah winters are no good for me. This week was fabulous though. My mom gave Shelby a trip to Sea World for her birthday and she was nice enough to let us tag along. We flew out on Monday into Long Beach and drove down to San Diego. My mom got a beautiful hotel right in San Diego bay. The next morning we went to Sea World. It was a perfect time to go. There were no crowds at all. Shelby and Keaton had so much fun looking at the animals and were in LOVE with Shamu. That night we went out to dinner and then visited our family in San Diego. On Wednesday we went over to Coronado and let the kids play at the park, did some shopping at Outlets right by the Mexican border, drove back up to Long Beach and walked along the Seal Beach Pier. We got home around midnight that night. It was so nice of my mom to take us with her. THANK YOU MOM!
The next morning bright and early, Tucker and I hopped back on a plane to Long Beach and flew to Las Vegas. We stayed at the Monte Carlo and they upgraded us to a gorgeous suite on the 28th floor. We went out and had a yummy dinner and got some cheap tickets to the Cirque De Soleil Show Ka. It was pretty good. Tucker loved it. It was so nice to sleep in the next morning! We checked out and flew back to Long Beach. We had a long layover so we walked around Long Beach for a while and finally got back around 12:30am.

CCS recently launched their Student Intervention Services program. Our administration and specialists will review a child's application along with any available documentation about special services the child has previously received, such as an IEP or 504 plan to evaluate the school's ability to meet the student's needs.
Our goal is to keep children incorporated in the general classroom with their grade level teacher as much as possible, with the exception of pull-outs if deemed necessary. We ensure that the child stays on the same rigorous and challenging pace as the rest of their peers in every other subject. Below you will find a chart outlining the pre- and post-enrollment process (click on each picture to enlarge.)
Interventions in Reading
A child requesting admissions must show on their IEP or previous records that they are significantly delayed (usually 2 grade levels or more) in only one of the two areas (math or reading.) At this time, we cannot admit a child that has multiple areas of delay. This would mean that the child be at grade level in math, but significantly delayed in reading (or vice versa).
Speech and Language
We are also able to accommodate children with speech and language delays (this could be in addition to either math or reading delays.) You can click on the button below to learn more about our speech and language program.
Currently we are not charging families for these additional services. Please see the Speech and Language button above for that program's pricing. For more information on our Student Intervention Services program please contact our Assistant Principal, Joshua Kempf at (520) 878-1165.

Amongst the glittering crew of horsey guests were Zoe Saldana, Rachel Zoe, Lauren Conrad and Selma Blair. Jaime King hit the ball out of the park in an utterly chic Jason Wu dress with an embellished bodice and full skirt, which she wore with simple swept back hair and Jason Wu heels. The ever-chic Zoe Saldana was pretty as a picture in a sheer Jason Wu black and pink dress, but showed she was a newbie to the horsey scene by wearing towering Brian Attwood stilettos so inappropriate for the treading-in ceremony darling!
Rachel Zoe and Selma Blair brought their latest arm candy their baby boys - along with them and swapped baby notes, whilst social butterfly Camilla Belle showed shes a Polo pro in a fluttery Ralph Lauren dress and wedges.
Guests were kept well fed and watered with the eponymous Champagne, and when onlookers eventually transferred their gazes from the red carpet to the green Polo fields, they were just as entertained. Well, almost...
Tally ho!

Continuing On . . .
While many may have viewed the recent Brennan and Vaughn investigative report revealed in the Daily Camera last October, if they've not been following the misinterpretations and outright lies about the DNA, they would miss how truly mind-blowing the article is. What is paramount to remember, imo, is DA MLs drum beat that matching DNA between the long johns and the underwear meant there was no innocent explanation for its existence. She was emphatic that this proved it was an Intruder.
DA MLs claim was the big trigger for this analysis by DNA experts who reviewed the BODE tDNA reports specifically in the context of the Unk male 1 DNA. ML created the connection between the long johns tDNA and the DNA in the underwear. The facts of too many alleles on parts of the long johns pointing to multiple DNA contributors and too weak DNA on the underwear which could not be replicated for verification, simply equaled what the article references as twin realities . . . that the genetic profile may not be from a single individual and that DNA on the girls clothing may have landed their innocently.
Its too much to hope that the media (or some promoters of the Intruder theory) might understand the determination of experts. Their conclusions point to the irreality of DNA as relevant to the crime.

Id be remiss if I did not mention ML had help in spreading DNA falsehoods. One of the myths involved linking DNA from underneath JBs fingernails to the DNA in the underwear. Not until Kolars book came out and it was discovered how much foreign DNA had been found and what DNA testing had been performed, did FFJ posters, namely cynic, uncover that the private investigators for the family had circulated an additional fable. (http://www.forumsforjustice.org/foru...726#post190726)
The claim of John San Agustin and Ollie Gray (private investigators for the Rs) helped construct another public myth that the DNA under the nails was the same as the DNA in the underwear. Read cynics post to understand why this was a huge fiction. Amazingly this tale was shared on many programs - CNN, Fox News and Nancy Grace, to name a few. San Agustin in particular became what I call an official DNA puffer.**
One will always have to wonder why ML took this path of 'exoneration' via DNA when she had been told about multiple contributors to the tDNA. She only gave one explanation which involved discovering a butt print she knew belonged to the killer and being desperate to shield the R family.
As for the Rs private investigators, its been shared on the Internet that Gray has recently passed away. But San Agustin has some bigger fish to fry, beyond defending his DNA fable. http://gazette.com/former-el-paso-sh...rticle/1594505
This past January former sheriff department Commander John San Agustin was scheduled to be arraigned in a fraudulent scheme. The former Commander, along with another former sheriff department supervisor Paula Presley and former Sheriff Terry Maketa, were indicted last May and accused of involvement in a plan to jail a victim of domestic violence in order to protect a former sheriffs deputy.
As of March 6, 2017, attorneys for Presley and San Agustin asked for their next court date to be in the summer after former Sheriff Terry Maketas trial, "once the dust settles." The judge settled for middle ground and scheduled their date for May 8 which will occur before Maketa's trial. Stay tuned.
**Its ironic that San Agustin, has been indicted for participation in a fraudulent scheme. I always thought puffer was derived from puffery or exaggerated endorsement. But theres actually a legal definition of puffer and its described as someone employed to bid up an item at auction for the purpose of raising the price upon bona fide bidders. (Collins Dictionary of Law © W.J. Stewart, 2006) Its considered fraud which invalidates the sale.
