So… many people ask me what products I would recommend, or use.
Well, here's my open secret (drawer) !
What a mess right.. I've obviously got too much makeup for this one face of mine. I don't use everything everyday. So I think it's better to show you what are the staples in my personal makeup pouch.
I believe makeup needs to be tailored to suit each person's lifestyle and personality. I don't like to wear too much makeup simply because I'm running around all day for work and honestly, after doing makeup for people day after day after day, I hardly have the energy or patience to do a full face of makeup for myself (especially not in the morning when I've not had my tea!)
Also, I spend 3 days a week working out in the sun and more often than not, I find myself wiping my face with my hand or towel. Smudged eyeshadow and runny mascara is NOT a pretty sight..! Plus the boys I train with can't be bothered if I'm wearing a full face of makeup during training or not (correct me if you're reading this and I'm wrong :P)
So, what do I really, really, favour?
From top left to right:
1. (Silver Pen) Lancome Miracle Teint Concealer .. it's peachy-pink based so it corrects dark eye circles and the formula is really light-weight and comfortable to wear
2. (Black Pen) M.A.C. Superslick Liquid Eye Liner in On The Hunt .. I don't wear this daily but I love how it doesn't budge. At All. Nothing worse on the face than walking into the bathroom and discovering I've got a funny ring around the bottom of my eyes. This one guarantees I won't be getting a shock anytime soon.
3. Urban Decay After Glow Glide On Cheek Tint in Bang. This product was released in spring this year and I keep 3 colours in my drawer and a few more in my professional case. It's creamy, glides on smoothly and it's really sheer, although it looks intense in the compact.
4. Nars Blusher in Orgasm. Classic product! If you must buy only one blusher, this is the ONE. Brightens your entire complexion, with a very light wash of shimmer
5. Kate Kanebo Waterproof Eyebrow Gel. The only drugstore brand in my makeup bag. At about $16, it's not dirtcheap but I haven't come across any other brands that do waterproof eyebrow gels. It's kinda like eyebrow wax, but it doesnt feel sticky and the colours are really natural. I wear this almost everyday cos I have almost no brows! One day I will try it when I go swimming.
6. Givenchy Phenomen'Eyes Waterproof Mascara. I admit.. I wear this for sports. And it's never failed me. I could be crying while swimming and it wouldn't move. Best of all it washes out with my makeup cleanser without me tugging at my eyelashes

7. bareMinerals Original in Medium Beige. Tons of compliments about my skin while I'm wearing this foundation. I use it with the Prime Time foundation primer and buff it in with the bareMinerals foundation buffing brush.
8. M.A.C. Mineralize Skin Finish in Medium Plus. Before bareMinerals came to Singapore, I couldn't find any face powder to compete with this one. Why does it still remain although I have the other mineral face powders? Because it's PRESSED! nice and compact.
9 & 10. Bobbi Brown Eyeshadows. These are in Copper Cocoa (Single), Chino and Beige Linen (Double). I have tons of these in other colours. Mostly I choose nude, earthy and brown colours for eyeshadows. I wouldn't say I'm afraid of colour, but it's just much more classic to stick with the neutrals.
And there, the secret is out 🙂 Now to get on with my packing! I'm moving out 😀

Bill Gavin, publisher emeritus of the Gavin Report, a national compilation of radio record-play lists, died of cancer Sunday at his home in Mill Valley, Calif. He was 77 years old.
The Gavin Report, which Mr. Gavin founded in 1958, monitored air play for Top 40 records, and later expanded to other categories; it is used as a programming aid by radio stations and record companies.
Mr. Gavin was born in Chetek, Wis., and graduated from the University of California at Berkeley. In 1955 he and the McCann-Erickson advertising agency created Lucky Lager Dance Time, a popular-song countdown show heard in 11 states. The program's research was compiled as the Bill Gavin Record Report. Mr. Gavin sold the report to its staff in 1983 and became publisher emeritus.
He is survived by his second wife, Josette, and four children, Sally White of Scio, Ore., Ann Sample of Salem, Ore., Janie Gavin of Trinidad, Calif., and Greg Gavin of Grass Valley, Calif.

In a stunning admission that could explain what kind of mood George Zimmerman was in on the night he killed Trayvon Martin, Shellie Zimmerman has revealed that she had gotten into an argument with George the night before that was so bad she walked out on him. Shellie also says that their marriage is still strained, and she's not sure if it will last.
Shellie dropped the information during an interview with ABC News just a day after she was convicted of a misdemeanor perjury charge for lying about the couple's finances during George's bond hearing.
Shellie says she wasn't at home on the night of Trayvon's death because she had gotten into an argument with George the night before which led to her walking out and staying at her father's house. She didn't elaborate on the nature of the fight.
"Does George have a temper? How volatile did it get the evening before?" asked journalist Christi O'Connor.
"Not going to answer that," Shellie replied.
Though the couple did reconcile, Shellie reveals that the ordeal has been tough on their marriage. She lived with her husband in a trailer in the woods for over a year hoping that no one would find them.

"It's difficult to communicate with your spouse when you're under so much scrutiny from both sides and I think we both have been fighting for our own individual struggles to be heard by each other and that's been difficult," she said.
She said that while ideally she would like to stay married and have children, the 26-year-old refused to elaborate on the current state and future of her marriage.
She also noted that she felt "alone" and "slightly" hung out to dry when George did not stand up for her during her perjury trial or even appeared in court. She refused to answer if she was pressured to by anyone to lie about the couple's finances in the first place.

oral cancer(redirected from Mouth neoplasms)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Legal, Encyclopedia.
oral cancer
a malignant neoplasm on the lip or in the mouth that occurs at an average age of 60, with a frequency eight times higher in men than in women. Predisposing factors are alcoholism; heavy use of tobacco; poor oral hygiene; ill-fitting dentures; syphilis; Plummer-Vinson syndrome; betel nut chewing; and, in lip cancer, pipe smoking and overexposure to sun and wind. Premalignant leukoplakia or erythroplasia or a painless nonhealing ulcer may be the first sign of oral cancer; localized pain usually occurs later, but lymph nodes may be involved early in the course. Diagnostic measures include digital examination, biopsy, exfoliative cytology, x-ray film of the mandible, and chest films to detect metastatic lung lesions. Almost all oral tumors are epidermoid carcinomas. Adenocarcinomas occur occasionally, whereas sarcomas and metastatic lesions from other sites are rare. Small primary lesions may be treated by excision or irradiation, and more extensive oral tumors may be treated by surgery, with removal of involved lymph nodes and preoperative or postoperative radiotherapy. Among chemotherapeutic agents administered are cisplatin, methotrexate, 5-fluorouracil, bleomycin, and Adriamycin. Postoperative nursing care involves maintenance of airway patency, relieving pain, promoting adequate nutrition, and health teaching regarding follow-up care and psychosocial adjustment if body image has been affected.
oral cancerCancer of mouth, mouth cancer ENT A malignancy of the lips, tongue, floor of mouth, salivary glands, buccal mucosa, gingiva, palate; most OCs are squamous cell carcinomas linked to tobacco use and/or smoking, and tend to spread rapidly High risk factors for OCs Alcohol abuse, poor dental and oral hygiene, chronic irritation–eg, rough teeth, dentures, etc; OCs may begin as leukoplakia or mouth ulcers; ♂ are hit twice as often as ♀. See Squamous cell carcinoma.
or·al can·cer(ōrăl kansĕr)
Cancer affecting lips, tongue, floor of the mouth, palate, gingiva, alveolar mucosa, buccal mucosa, and oropharynx.
Patient discussion about oral cancer
Q. What is Mouth cancer? My grandfather has been diagnosed with mouth cancer. What is it? Is it dangerous?
A. Cancer of the mouth is dangerous as are all cancers. The earlier this cancer is detected, the better the survival rates are. If the cancer is caught in the first stage the survival rates can go up to 90% of patients surviving five years and most of these will be cured.
Q. What are the symptoms of mouth cancer? I have an ulcer in my mouth that won't go away, could it be cancer?
A. Have you had this ulcer for a long time? over 3 weeks?
If so, consult your GP however don't be alarmed as it isn't necessarily cancer, though it's always better to check it out and not neglect it.

Q. What is radiotherapy? My Grandfather had a surgery to remove a cancerous tumor on his cheek. He now needs to undergo radiotherapy. What is this? what are its side effects?
A. Generally, radiotherapy causes tiredness and sore, red skin in the area being treated. This is a bit like sunburn. Radiotherapy to the neck can damage the thyroid gland. Other side effects include: a sore throat- due to mouth ulcers, pain on swallowing,More discussions about oral cancer
a dry mouth- due to damage caused to the salivary glands (which are in charge of making the saliva), taste changes, a hoarse voice and effect on the sense of smell.

Monday, April 23, 2012 | 2 a.m.
Through four fights aired on Fox, the UFC has yet to strike gold with a bout that captivated the casual viewing masses.
The heavyweight championship fight the UFC chose to introduce its network television contract with barely lasted a minute. The three contests at January's UFC on Fox 2 proved plodding, all ending with a decision.
"So the first fight went too quick and the second one went too long?" White asked mockingly at a press conference earlier this year. "There's nothing I can say when people say one knockout went too quick and the other went too long."
White can't do anything to ensure the perfect event, but the UFC can book fights with specific stylistic matchups to give cards a higher probability of delivering excitement.
That's what the Las Vegas-based promotion has done with UFC on Fox 3, scheduled for May 5 at the Izod Center in East Rutherford, N.J. Four fights that feature some of the UFC's most electrifying finishers fill the main card.
A good example of what to expect comes in the main event, where Jim Miller (21-3 MMA, 10-2 UFC) and Nate Diaz (15-7 MMA, 10-5 UFC) meet with a lightweight title shot on the line. Miller and Diaz have combined to stop 60 percent of their opponents and have won 13 end-of-the-night bonuses in the UFC.
"Nate and I match up very well together," Miller said. "It should be an exciting fight. I'm pretty amped up already."
Both Miller and Diaz are black belts in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Miller has gone 8-1 in the last three years while Diaz has bounced back from a failed experiment at welterweight to win two in a row at 155 pounds.
The outspoken Diaz feels Miller is a perfect matchup.
"Sometimes you get those guys who sit there and hold on or guys who run and get away with it for five rounds or three rounds, whatever," Diaz said. "It will be great to have someone who wants to come in and fight."
Judges may not be necessary in two other main card bouts. Middleweights Rousimar Palhares (14-3 MMA, 7-2 UFC) and Alan Belcher (17-6 MMA, 8-4 UFC) have rarely gotten to the scorecards throughout their careers.
Pat Barry (7-4 MMA, 4-4 UFC) has joked that he and fellow heavyweight knockout artist Lavar Johnson (16-5 MMA, 1-0 UFC) are "allergic" to any round outside of the first.
In the co-main event, the UFC has put together a bout with some hostility. Two-time welterweight top contender Josh Koscheck (19-5 MMA, 15-5 UFC) meets Johny Hendricks (12-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) in what oddsmakers see as a pick 'em fight.
Hendricks knocked out one of Koscheck's best friends, Jon Fitch, in 12 seconds at UFC 141.
"The fight didn't last very long, so I really couldn't judge how good he is," Koscheck said. "I watched the fight, and it looked like he threw a lucky punch with his eyes closed and it landed."
Here's a look at the fights slated for the UFC on Fox 3 preliminary card.
Lightweight Bout: Tony Ferguson (13-2 MMA, 3-0 UFC) vs. Michael Johnson (10-6 MMA, 2-2 UFC) With a potential fourth straight win in the UFC, "TUF" 13 champion Ferguson could be in line for a major step-up in competition.
Flyweight Bout: John Dodson (12-5 MMA, 1-0 UFC) vs. Tim Elliot (8-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) Depth is still developing in the 125-pound division, so a win could put "TUF" 14 champion Dodson in line for a title shot.
Welterweight Bout: John Hathaway (15-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC) vs. Pascal Krauss (10-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) Injuries have kept these fighters out for prolonged periods of time, as Hathaway hasn't fought in 14 months and Kraus last appeared in the octagon 18 months ago.
Flyweight Bout: Louis Gaudinot (5-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC) vs. John Lineker (19-5 MMA, 0-0 UFC) Lineker comes over to the UFC from Brazil's Jungle Fights, where he won the promotion's bantamweight championship.
Lightweight Bout: Danny Castillo (12-4 MMA, 2-1 UFC) vs. John Cholish (8-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) Cholish is a bright prospect who doubles as a Wall Street commodities broker, but he'll be at a serious experience disadvantage against WEC veteran Castillo.
Featherweight Bout: Dennis Bermudez (7-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) vs. Pablo Garza (11-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC) Bermudez is a standout wrestler, but all of his defeats have come by submission, which is Garza's strength.
Bantamweight Bout: Roland Delorme (7-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) vs. Nick Denis (11-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) Both burst onto the UFC scene with memorable wins in their debut, as Delorme submitted Josh Ferguson at the "TUF" 14 finale and Denis knocked out Joseph Sandoval with elbows at UFC on FX 1.
Middleweight Bout: Mike Massenzio (13-6 MMA, 2-4 UFC) vs. Karlos Vemola (8-2 MMA, 1-2 UFC) These two wrestlers will look to keep their jobs with a victory.

Former GHI fellow Corinna Ludwig publishes dissertation on German Businesses in the United States after WWII
Corinna Ludwig, former GHI doctoral fellow in residence and member of the Transatlantic Perspectives project, has published her dissertation on German Businesses in the United States after World War II Amerikanische Herausforderungen. Deutsche Großunternehmen in den USA nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg (Peter Lang 2016).
Internationalization presents companies with a variety of challenges. This study examines how major German companies in the United States between 1945 and the 1980s developed their communication and brand strategies to achieve success in a foreign market. The book is centered on five major challenges German companies faced in the United States: Dispossession and the trading with enemies act; forms of internationalization; public relations and dealing with the American public; consumer advertising; and globalization and corporate identity. Using a transnational approach, the author highlights how transfers in the development of advertising and communications were exchanged on both sides of the Atlantic.

Hey arnie,
Give VidOn Cloud a shot as a new playback medium for your phone. You may find it works better with Lollipop.

A few years ago when I was trying to establish myself as a photographer I was looking for good business cards. There were some "free" options. I put free in quotes because, if I recall correctly, the company's logo would be on the card somewhere. Then I discovered MOO cards. Funny name. Great cards.
What I loved about MOO is that you can choose their pre-designed cards or upload your own images to get customized cards. So theoretically, in a pack of 50 cards, you can have 50 different images. Well, I wanted to keep it a secret because I didn't want other photographers to have the cool cards I had! Of course, that's ridiculous and the cat is apparently out of the bag. Readers of Lifehacker.com named MOO the Most Popular Business Card Printing Site.
I just ran across some of their pre-designed cards for photographers and thought they were pretty cool. The design at the top of this post features four vintage cameras fused into one image. Of course the designs are customizable so you can substitute your own images into the grid.
This next one features seven vintage cameras including an old Brownie.
Finally a quirky twist on the vintage camera design with these illustrated versions of 10 cameras including a Polaroid, Holga, Hasselblad and Rolleiflex.
If you like these cards or want your own custom cards, give MOO a try. I'm not getting anything from the company to write this post, but I can get a credit and you can get a 10% discount if you order through this link.

"Probably the worst humanitarian catastrophe right now worldwide" – there is no better description of Yemen today than this emotional statement made by Germany's foreign minister after meeting his French counterpart.Further exacerbating an already complex situation is a clear disregard for human loss.With the rebellion by the Iranian-backed Houthis, who announced their killing of Saleh, expected to be buoyed by this "victory" and the legitimate army of Abed Rabbou Mansour Hadi mobilizing, Yemen is destined to be little more than a dhow lost at the high seas of bloodshed, and bloodshed only. Saleh's death promises the same tragic poison.

Capacity planning today is anything but "business as usual." Forward-thinking organizations are already redefining capacity planning as "capacity management" because performing capacity work effectively in an environment that will feature on-demand provisioning and private cloud services involves more than just looking at MIPS consumption for annual budget planning.
The movement to private cloud compels some rethinking about how IT is organized. IT staff and resources must now support business services and accompanying Service Level Agreements (SLAs). If IT is to rally staff and resources around business service support, departmental functions historically isolated must come together under each service, whether they originate from CICS, DB2, WebSphere MQ, network management, mainframe, or distributed platforms. Staff members responsible for these functions must collaborate to plan for and execute delivery of business applications and services across many platforms. Their success requires capacity planning and measurement tools that provide both broad and granular visibility.
Where Capacity Planning Fits
Capacity planning is a component of capacity management, which also encompasses resource optimization, tuning, and performance reporting. More companies realize capacity management offers much greater value when actively used in ways that transcend capacity planning.
A strong business case supports this philosophical change. SLAs, which often accompany the move to private cloud implementations and a business service delivery approach in IT, are forcing IT to focus on how its resources are delivered. Part of this process is ensuring there's adequate service level resource capacity. Where capacity is insufficient, IT must address it. Resource capacity planning also emerges when unplanned upgrades are necessary, as in the case of a business acquisition or introduction of a new line of business.
Because of these and other factors, more companies are re-evaluating the role capacity planning plays and coordinating the effort with the adoption of Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) best practices.
The Impact of zEnterprise
The new zEnterprise cross-platform management capabilities enabled by the IBM zEnterprise Unified Resource Manager (zManager) with its firmware-level integration present capabilities that are further enhanced with end-to-end application management software. The introduction of these capabilities as organizations adopt private cloud implementations has raised awareness that capacity management should occur at the business service level, regardless of the platforms a given application crosses, and organizations should take a broad view of the process. This is a step forward from traditional approaches where capacity planning was limited to individual subsystems such as DB2, CICS or WebSphere MQ, or to individual platforms such as mainframe and distributed systems. The more holistic approach now emerging considers the impact on overall infrastructure service delivery to the business. zEnterprise is a natural enabler to this approach, which facilitates the service orientation private cloud computing demands.
Systems management software for zEnterprise includes unified toolsets that let all staff experts, whether they command DB2, CICS or some other area of IT infrastructure, use the same information and customize it on individual dashboards. This makes it easier for IT departments to collaborate on service delivery and manage capacity. A common toolset and common data eliminate the potential for confusion that can occur when disparate tools and results measurement methodologies are used.
As IT breaks down silos and migrates to enterprisewide capacity management that's done at the business level, capacity planning and management can effectively be deployed to model future business scenarios, too. It could work like this:

Is the birth control pill bad for your health?
Tossing my birth control pills in the garbage was the beginning of my adventure to clear skin.Ironically, I started taking the pill to clear up my skin. I am happy to inform you that this is where my story eventually takes a turn for the better, and you will start learning my secrets to clear, acne free skin. First lets talk about the birth control pill:
If you are taking the birth control to clear up your skin or help with painful PMS symptoms I beg you to reconsider, although for some, the clear skin achieved from using this form of contraceptive is just a positive side affect. Acne is caused by your bodies reaction to the internal problems it is having, and can be the result of stress, thyroid problems, colon, lymph or liver toxicity or hormone imbalance. Unfortunately the birth control pill will not fix any of these problems, but merely cover them up temporarily. On top of that, there are many risks to taking a birth control pill such as:
increased risk of cervical cancer
blood clots and
high blood pressure.
These are side effects that you hear about in so many commercials, or on the giant unfold able pamphlet that comes with your pills but do you ever pay attention, or take the time to read about them?
For me, my 5 year adventure on birth control turned my hormones into what looked similar to a 2 year old drawing of the universe, messy and all over the place.
Once I quit using the birth control pill I figured my skin would just bounce back to normal, but I was SO wrong. My hormones had no clue what I was doing to them, they were spastic. I needed an extra large dose of hormone balancing, but i didn't know where to get a hit.
Using prescription pills has its risks. I encourage you to think before putting your body through hormone hell just for the benefit of clear skin. Its time to start treating your body with respect, and this is why I say "Girl, its time to say goodbye to the pill".
This week I will talk about how I balanced out my hormones after taking the birth control pill out of my daily routine. In the meantime, you may be curious about how to remove the "hormone" out of your birth control, as it is still very important to prevent unwanted pregnancies. There are many safe and healthy ways to do this. Take a peek at this article from SexualityandU about Non-Hormonal Birth Control Methods.
* Remember to speak with your doctor before you make any switches to your medication. This is my opinion, and I am not a doctor - merely a girl sharing my opinion, my trials and successes.

More than 20 fire apparatuses made their way through the streets of Dagsboro this past weekend. No, there wasn't a fire — the Dagsboro Volunteer Fire Department was celebrating its official station change, from their former Waples Street location to their new state-of-the-art facility on Clayton Street.
"It's a milestone for us," said DVFD President Al Townsend. "We left the building that we were in for 50 years. We've got to thank the membership, because 30 years ago they decided to start putting money away to help fund the building because they knew our community was going to continue growing."
"It's been a long time coming," added Lin Hudson, lifelong Dagsboro resident and past president of the DVFD, with 40 years in the department and having served on the building committee. "We've been sticking back and saving for a long time because we knew we were outgrowing the old building."
At the new facility, a memorial that was relocated from the Waples Street facility sits outside and reads, "In Memory of All Who Served."
"The new placement of the memorial allows for viewing by many more visitors and is the focal point for our entrance on Clayton Street, "said Bill DeHaven, who blessed the new building. "Just as the Maltese Cross on our emblems signifies service to our fellow humans, the memorial we dedicate today serves as the one place where those left behind can be renewed in their remembrance."
When first entering the building, visitors are greeted with a hand-painted mural of the DVFD shield. Soon, a trophy case will be installed, displaying the department's parade trophies and tournament awards.
The new facility boasts offices, a conference room, fitness room, training and meeting room, members' room, kitchen area, bunkrooms and more.
"Before, all the administrators and line officers were basically working out of one room or their home. Now we have the capability — everything is staying in-house," said Townsend.
The facility also has a separate ambulance bay and administrative office for the EMS staff. Secretary Matt Gajdos said that 80 percent of the department's total call volume is EMS calls.
"We have a dual ambulance service with Frankford. That helps us both save money, because we don't have to both hire so many employers," explained Townsend. "We still give both communities 24 hours of coverage, seven days a week."
In building the new facility, Townsend said the committee looked toward the future, as opposed to only what the department currently needed.
"When we built the building, we tried to look to the future. So we didn't build what our immediate needs are right this year. We tried to look down the line and plan for expansion," he said. "We realized we needed to build ourselves a facility that would prepare us to meet that need down the road. We have the infrastructure in place to meet the growth in the years ahead."
"There's other apparatus that we're going to need in the future, and the old building would not house that. We were pretty tight with everything we had," added Deputy Chief John Marvel, a life member with 22 years in the DVFD.
Marvel echoed Townsend, stating there was a great deal of work involved in planning and designing the new building.
"The whole membership worked together," he said, adding of the building committee, "They worked their butts off to get this taken care of. We're just tickled to death. Two months shy of being 51 years serving in the old firehouse, and here we are today, for many, many years to come."
Designing a sustainable facility was paramount to the department, said Gajdos.
"The new building that was something that our building committee did a good job with," he said. "We knew that our building was going to take up a lot of space... and it's all concrete, it's going to have a bit of an impact on the environment — so we tried to make it as green as possible."
Gajdos added that the geothermal technology used will save the department in the long run.
"We tried to implement as many cost-saving devices as we could. Even if it costs more in the short term, in the long-term they're going to save a lot of money."
"This building is state-of-the-art; we went all geothermal. We tried to be as green as much as possible," added Townsend.
Hudson said the fire department was able to afford the new facility through fundraisers, donations and financial help from the State and County.
"It all comes together. This year, you don't buy that, and if we can put it off for two or three more years and save the money, see what kind of interest you could get on it. That's the way it was done.
"We're proud of the whole building," he added. "When I first joined, I never thought we would have this much equipment and need this much equipment."
Gajdos said the department doesn't have any plans to buy new equipment, but the administration is looking into the community's growth when planning for the future.
"We're seeing more year-round versus seasonal," said Gajdos, noting that the DVFD not only covers the town of Dagsboro but unincorporated areas of Sussex County, as well. "The bay area does allow us room to grow if needed," he added of the new station. We have tall engine bay doors — that way, if apparatus get bigger, we aren't stuck with a smaller building and stuck having to do changes. Through our planning, we can adapt over time and we don't have to incur any additional expenses over time."
"We just want to serve the public the best that we can," noted Marvel. "We just want to be able to serve the community faster and safer."
Marvel said the fire department is a family, and he's happy to see the new facility completed in his lifetime for future generations.
"I've got a 12-week-old son, and I'm hoping and praying he follows in my footsteps," he said.
Dagsboro firefighter Reed Carter, a 27-year-old Dagsboro resident, said that the new building has been "long awaited."
"[It gives us] the ability to serve your community in a more efficient manner with the space allotted," he said.
Carter joined the department when he was in high school, as a junior member.
"I wanted to help," he said. "I was 16 years old and it was a hobby — it was something to do while you're in high school. So, instead of sports, I decided to join the fire service."
Carter said there is a special brotherhood among firefighters, akin to those who serve together in the military.
"You always remember the people that you've lost, and you always keep the people that you're with safe," he said.
The fire department will now be responding to emergency calls from the new facility on Clayton Street; however, Gajdos said the move is not yet complete, as files and other incidentals still need to be moved. Townsend added that a community open house for the new facility will be held in the fall.
Gajdos emphasized that the Dagsboro Volunteer Fire Department has received a tremendous amount of community support, and that the department is especially grateful to its old and new neighbors.
"We are thankful for their patience," he added. "We are very thankful for our families overall for their patience and understanding in helping this project move forward."
Gajdos said it's an amazing feeling to finally see the facility come to fruition after so many years of planning and hard work.
"It's like that dream that you have in the back of your head, where you keep saying, 'I'd like to have that one day,'" said Gajdos. "You worked for it, worked out what didn't work toward it and, finally, one day, finally see it move toward becoming a reality. Today, we met reality.
"We'll continue to meet the need that's asked of us, and we look forward to continuing to serve our community," he added.

Breaking the fever: The End Is in Sight for One of Humanity's Deadliest Plagues
The Economist reported in October 10, 2015: "Since 2000, malaria deaths around the world have fallen by nearly half. The steepest drop has come in sub-Saharan Africa, where 90% of fatalities occur. Malaria still kills around 450,000 people each year—most of them children in Africa. But the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that better control prevented the deaths of 3.9m African children between 2001 and 2013. … Previous efforts to rid the world of malaria failed because the political will and funds dried up before the disease was conquered. This time it is vital that efforts to stamp out malaria do not become victims of their own success."
Church Involvement in Fighting World Problems
Ralph D. Winter wrote in 2008: "We have greater opportunities and greater obligations than ever in history. Yet the chasm between our unemployed resources and an effective challenge to big world problems is very great. It is apparent that organized believers are largely missing in the conduct of the Kingdom of God, in bringing His will into the dark and suffering places in our world. … Getting people reconciled to God AND to His Kingdom business must go together. Otherwise our absence at the front lines of major global problems means we are misrepresenting God's will and misusing the wisdom and resources He has given us to act out and speak out His love and glorify His Name among all peoples."
A Positive Exception to Ralph Winter's Concern about the Absence of the Church in World Problems
In 2008 billionaire Ted Turner announced he was partnering with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, and the United Methodist Church to raise funds to stop deaths from global malaria.
In January, 2016, the ELCA announced it had reached its $15 million goal of funds raised to combat malaria through its relief and development arm. "Thank you for naming suffering as contrary to God's will and working to correct injustice," an ECLA blog stated in announcing the successful conclusion of the ELCA Malaria Campaign.

I'm going to be doing a lot of updating here in the near future, as I've been lagging behind on my posting again. I guess 3 weeks isn't as bad as 3 months!!! Haha! We've had a lot going on!
Anthony has really started to love "hiding" games of all sorts. His favorite is the standard peek-a-boo, but he also loves playing the baby version of hide and seek (where mommy hides behind one of two couches, and Anthony crawls around to "find" me!). He's also started to "hide" his toys by stashing them under Bear-Bear. (I'll post a picture of Anthony and Bear-Bear soon!)
Where's Anthony???
