I am your buddy
That's what you called me
I am your buddy
And always will be
This user has not added a bio yet.
I am your buddy
That's what you called me
I am your buddy
And always will be
Just a baby girl
Attached as could be
You showed me the world
Through my curiosity
They say I never knew you
They say I never shall
But I have a secret
A secret I can't tell
I awake each morning to start a new day,
But the pain of losing you never goes away.
I go about the things I have to do,
And as the hours pass, I think again of you.
May 12, 2019 will be the first Mother's Day without my mom. How I miss her so deep within my being, to the core. She passed away last year in October, the same month my youngest sister passed...
I lost my sister November 01,2010 from lung cancer. This is a beautiful poem. So much of it reminds me of her and my relationship. I miss her so much. Thank you for sharing this poem.
This is a beautiful poem. It touched my heart. It wasn't my first Mother's Day without my mother but my second. It doesn't get any easier. Thank you for writing and sharing this beautiful poem.
I'm pleased to find that my poem about my Mama was read and has touched so many nice people. As the poem states we lost her in Sept. of 2008. The family misses her so much. In many ways she was the glue that held the family together after Daddy passed in 1993 of lung cancer also. Now my oldest sister has been diagnosed with it. She is holding on and is trying hard to beat it. She is in need of prayer. Please, everyone pray for her and that this disease ends in my family now. We can't bear to lose another loved one to this horrible disease.
Although I have never had an abortion your story touched my heart. I wish that everyone who is considering abortion could read your poem as well as many of the others on this site. God bless you and your family.
I lost my mother in September and miss her so much. I know that Mothers Day will be a hard day for me this year. Thank you for the beautiful poem. It really touched me. God Bless

Game #18 Recap: Nats Fall 2-0 in Rubber Match at New York
The Nationals got a glimpse of the future with top prospectAnthony Rendon making his Major League debut at third base to fill in for an injured Ryan Zimmerman. However, their early season struggles continued as they were shut out by the Mets, losing 2-0, to drop the rubber-match.
Jordan Zimmermann got the start for the Nationals, looking to extend his record to 4-0. But Zimmermann struggled with his normally impeccable control, walking three and only getting through five innings on 96 pitches. Zimmermann still managed to be effective, limiting the Mets to only two runs on two hits and four strikeouts.
Zimmermann gave up his first run in the second inning when he gave up a solo shot to John Buck. Buck, who has been red hot to start the year, deposited a 2-2 fastball into the upper deck in left field. The second run came on a sacrifice fly from Mike Baxter, allowing David Wright to score from third.
Zimmermann's counterpart, Dillon Gee, had his best start of the season so far. Gee cruised through his first five innings only allowing just three base runners. Gee fell apart in the sixth inning, getting just two outs around three walks and a wild pitch. After the third walk Gee's day was done, shutting out the Nationals for 5.2 innings, allowing just three hits and striking out six.
After Zimmermann exited, Zach Duke came in to the game and was superb. Duke held down the Mets offense for the next two innings, allowing just two hits on four strikeouts.
The Nationals threatened in the top of the eighth when Steve Lombardozzi and Denard Span got on base to lead off the inning. However, after getting ahead 3-0, Jayson Werth made a curious choice to swing away and grounded into a double play. Bryce Harper then struck out to end the inning and the Nationals' best chance to score all day.
Henry Rodriguez came out for the bottom of the eighth and got a quick 1-2-3, striking out Ike Davis and Lucas Duda, continuing a streak of effective innings this season by the embattled reliever. Rodriguez looked particularly in control today, moving with a quicker pace and locating his pitches well.
The Nationals couldn't get anything going in the ninth inning. Rendon got one last shot to get a hit in his debut, but struck out to end the game. Bobby Parnell earned the save for the Mets.
The Nationals finished their six game road trip going 3-3 against the Marlins and Mets. They return home tomorrow to face the St. Louis Cardinals for the first time since their NLDS match-up last year.

9 thoughts on "Headache"
Know that all migraines aren't what I've had, but I've often wondered how many are. I was treated for years for migraines with increasingly expensive medication that never helped. We moved from the humid Midwest to then dry Az (except for a few months) and eventually I had the worst bout ever — when I could navigate I lurched about like a drunk. My children's doctor quickly diagnosed I was experiencing problems with eustachian tube dysfunction — which was treated with what I called "five and dime" medication and certain simple practices I follow to this day — just have had difficulty educating my most recent physician to helping me nip occasional problems in the bud before it gets out of hand. Orig. diagnosing doctor learned all this when in the Air Force treating airman assigned to constant radar monitoring duty during Cuban Missile Crisis.
Can't imagine daily. I had them for years once a month. They usually included a day of pain followed by throwing up then two more days of being so weak and shaky that I was useless. So sorry you are facing those debilitating headaches.
You have my complete sympathies and I hope by now it is just a bad memory. I have had both and they are similar though in my case the migraine lasted much longer and responded to nothing for four days. I had mine for 10 years and they went away with the onset of menopause. Unfortunately there is still not too much known about them though there are new treatments and I'd have a doc take a look. Be well.
Oh, I feel for you. There is little worse than a full fledged migraine attack. Having suffered hangovers too I can say that they run neck and neck ! Hope you can get a handle on this soon.

For more information dentistry, contact:
Charles Ferzli, DDS, FAACP, DABCP, DABCDSM, DABDSM
1150 NW Maynard Road, #140
Cary, NC 27613
Telephone: (919) 323-4242
Years of Study to Promote Health
and Relieve Pain
Few people could claim they were destined for their profession more convincingly than Dr. Charles Ferzli, owner of The TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of Raleigh-Durham, and his adjacent dental office, Smiles of Cary. Dr. Ferzli didn't so much choose dentistry as dentistry chose him—and many would agree it is a match with many blessings.
|It would take several hours to read the certificates of accomplishment that cover the walls of Dr. Ferzli's practices. He randomly chooses to read a certificate to satisfy our photographer.
"I always wanted to be in the health field," Dr. Ferzli says. "My parents had no formal education, so they really pushed my brother, sisters, and me to get a strong education. I was intrigued with the medical field from an early age, and in my mind, early on, it was either health care or becoming a lawyer," he says with a smile. "But I really just loved science, so I chose chemistry for my undergraduate degree."
Dr. Ferzli completed his bachelor's degree in chemistry at the University of Miami, the town to which, at the age of 17, he followed his parents and much of his extended family, after spending his youth in the Ivory Coast in Africa. "My parents liked Florida because the weather reminded them of home," he says. "And it's beautiful down there; the campus was lovely."
After college, Dr. Ferzli began working as a chemist and truly loved the field. He spent two years doing research, which resulted in a patent in the field of chemistry. However, his experience then led indirectly to his future profession. "Unfortunately," he recalls, "what I began to see was a lot of instability in the company I was working for, with many people being laid off and families needing to relocate. I wanted to be in charge of my income destiny. So, I began looking into things like osteopathic medicine, optometry, podiatry, and chiropractic school. Then, one day, I had a friend who was going to take the admission test for dental school and she asked if I wanted to join her. I didn't know the first thing about dentistry. I didn't know dentists could prescribe medications, for example, or anything other than that they did fillings and extracted teeth. But I went along with her and took the test. I scored well, so I applied to dental school and was accepted."
On the Path
And, Dr. Ferzli says with a smile, he's never looked back. After dental school at the University of Miami, he completed a doctorate in dental surgery at UNC Chapel Hill in 1997, and since has developed extraordinary breadth and depth of expertise in many branches of the field.
People who have a love of learning will admire Dr. Ferzli's accomplishments over the years in gaining knowledge and expertise in his chosen field—and few can emulate the utter love affair Dr. Ferzli has fostered with continuing dental education—at the rate of about 100 hours a year for the past 18 years.
"I always took more courses than I needed to, especially in science," he says. "After a few years as a dentist, I continued my journey with courses from the American Academy of Craniofacial Pain—the AACP. I took a fellowship course, which covered many approaches and treatment modalities—from injections to oral appliances, to alternative medicine including acupuncture and craniosacral therapy. This led to a fellowship in the Academy of Craniofacial Pain, which included a written exam judged by a panel of my peers, and a board certification."
His study of craniofacial pain excited a deep interest in dental sleep medicine, because, as he explained, "sleep medicine and craniofacial pain are intimately connected." After another 500 hours of continuing education in dental sleep medicine and several years of patient experience, Dr. Ferzli became eligible to apply for diplomate status. "Following the course work there was a written exam and three patient case presentations graded by the board. After successfully defending all three cases, I became a Diplomate of the Academy of Craniofacial Pain—the AACFP."
Dr. Ferzli went on to earn board certification from the American Board of Craniofacial Dental Sleep Medicine—the ABCDSM—and a second diplomat status as Diplomate of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine.
"There are other Boards I'm planning on taking, including studies with the Academy of Orofacial Pain—which is more medicine-based—learning the ways in which all of the drugs we use interact with the human body." Dr. Ferzli rarely if ever offers treatment solely with medications, but when he does rely on medications for support, he wants "the latest expertise about cause and effect for whatever is going on in the bodies of my patients."
Converging Medicine and Dentistry
While all areas of learning intrigue his passion for knowledge, it was his study of craniofacial pain that really hooked Dr. Ferzli. "Craniofacial pain and dental sleep medicine is the convergence of dentistry and medicine," he explains. "It's the closest I'm going to get to practicing medicine—but I'll never have to be on-call 24/7," he says with a smile.
"For example," he goes on, "someone comes in to gain relief for sensitive teeth. In the past, I may have thought about how to desensitize the teeth—perhaps with various chemicals, or perhaps with a filling, and adjust the bite and testing to find out if they are clenching their teeth causing a nervous system issue.
"Now, I know to delve into questions beyond those basics and inquire about sleep problems. Is this patient waking with a headache, perhaps indicating clenching during sleep? Are they waking up in the night with a locked jaw? Are they waking rested or tired? Answers to these questions can help differentiate between clenching of their teeth or clenching due to an airway problem. From this we can assess the need for a sleep study or a night guard."
Root canals can offer another clue, notes Dr. Ferzli. "Perhaps a patient had several root canals, and no one ever figured out that the teeth died of natural causes from so much clenching due to a problem with the jaw. A patient may come to us with sensitive teeth, and after much investigative work and assessing not just the teeth, but the whole patient picture, we discover that what we really need to address is the breathing problem that is leading to the clenching, and thus resulting in sensitive teeth."
It was Dr. Ferzli's love of continuing education that produced his passion for dentistry. "Someone once told me everything a dentist reads is obsolete within two years, so learning is a continuing process. There are constant changes in this field, and that makes it really important to keep a pulse on each branch of dentistry all the time.
"That works pretty well for me," he says with a smile. "I was a dentist for a long time before I took courses in sleep medicine. It wasn't until that time that I really understood how all parts are related and how all systems need to fit properly together; how adjusting someone's bite can affect their posture, their lower back, or cause foot pain. The connections are amazing—and no one talked about that in dental school! I love dentistry because there's always something new to learn. It is never, ever routine or uninteresting. Just the opposite."

On offer this week: two satires of contemporary American society by women playwrights of Korean descent (Straight White Men and Peerless);
• Two dance events explicitly driven to heal America's sociopolitical discord (Whim W'Him and Chasm);
• Two plays imaginatively extrapolating on an actual event in the life of a U.S. President (Frost/Nixon and Camping with Henry and Tom);
• And two mini-festivals of chamber music. The established one is the two-weekend winter edition of the Seattle Chamber Music Festival. (James Ehnes, artistic director and violinist, is pictured above.) Three concerts of the six will feature Robert Schumann's three piano trios; three include works by Shostakovich; and four of the six spotlight music by women, namely Clara Schumann, Amy Beach, Fanny Mendelssohn, and the medieval polymath Hildegard von Bingen (1098–1179). (Her Three Antiphons are surely the earliest music the SCMF has ever programmed.) Benaroya Recital Hall, Third Ave. & Union St., seattlechambermusic.org. Single tickets $16–$52. Jan. 19–21 & 26–28.
Spontaneous Combustion—new this year, and intriguingly eclectic, it's founded by composer Scott Anthony Shell—offers seven concerts of new music, with a miscellany of performing ensembles and venues, Jan. 19–Feb. 1. Featured composers with current or former local ties include WWU's Roger Briggs and Bruce Hamilton, Cornish's Laura Kaminsky, and John Teske, curator of the Seattle Composers' Salon. All concerts $20; see scnmf.org or seattleweekly.com for full details.
Bohemia has a distinct double meaning as the title of Opal Peachey and Mark Siano's theatrical extravaganza: It refers literally to the western chunk of the Czech Republic and also to its 19th-century implications of artistic nonconformism (cf. Puccini's La bohème, which has nothing to do with Prague). Their "macabre and mystical dream cabaret" suggests that the region's most famous composer, Antonin Dvorak, is trying to cure his writer's block with absinthe—and the resulting fantasy includes aerial numbers, dance, burlesque, piano music, comedy, original songs, George Sand and Sarah Bernhardt, the ghost of Chopin, Mucha-inspired decor, and green fairies serving the decadent elixir to audience members in the Triple Door's VIP section. The Triple Door, 216 Union St. $18–$50. Runs daily Jan. 19–27 (except Jan. 22); see thetripledoor.net for exact schedule.

#496 - Waynesville Vacation Rental
Vacation Rentals > North Carolina > Smoky Mountains
Cabins are furnished in country comfort from rocking chair porches to "Little House on the Prairie" sleeping lofts for children; decorated with handmade quilts, woven rugs, mountain crafts and original art; modernized with VCRs and microwave ovens and cozied with stacks of wood for big stone fireplaces.
And Rivermont became the best-kept secret, year-round getaway in Haywood County, North Carolina.
Just try to find it by asking someone even a couple of miles down the road: "Can you tell me how to get to Rivermont?" you'll probably get a response like, "Rivermont? Never heard of it. Must be some little town over yonder in Buncombe County. You go on back to your next right.... "
It's right there, nestled in the river bend on NC 215, about ten miles from Waynesville. Thirty-five acres of woodlands, mountain trails and splendid views. Periwinkle and fern-bordered springs.
A pond populated with ducks and fish. A game room in a weathered barn. Split rail fences and stone walls, winding driveways, dogwood and hernlock, hillsides of wildflowers above a dahlia-adorned, sunlit lawn. And for contemplation, benches beside the Pigeon River's clear, clean, waters. Or for watching the children play, listening to shrieks of delight from the little ones wading the shallows or the bigger ones in the ole swimmin' hole. For listening to the song of birds and the song of the river.
Rivermont now has seven guest cottages scattered about its river-fronted mountainside. But Rivermont is not just for lodging-it is a place for loving and enjoying, from misty morn to moonlit evenings. So it is available for weekly retreats or longer.

This is just nuts. Pokémon GO just came out last week, and it's begun a media sweep throughout the entire world, smashing records as the most popularly played mobile game, taking on even more active users than Twitter or Tinder. With millions of downloads on both Android and the iOS App Stores, Niantic Labs has created themselves a surefire monster.
Major retailer brands and smaller, independent stores alike are hopping along on the Pokémon GO train and taking advantage of the foot traffic the game brings using its Pokéstops and lure attracting system. Phone service giant T-Mobile today unleashed the largest promotion for the game, introducing free data usage for the game from now through August 2017. That's one free year of usage. It comes with many new benefits as well:
- Free, unlimited data on Pokémon Go, so it won't touch your high-speed data—for a full year!
- Free Lyft rides up to $15 to get to a new PokéStop or Gym
- Free Wendy's Frosty to fuel up for your hunting trip
- 50% off select accessories – including portable power packs and chargers at T-Mobile stores – so you can keep on playing for hours
T-Mobile CEO John Legere says:
"This is what T-Mobile Tuesday is all about – thanking customers with hot, new, totally free gifts every week, and right now, nothing is hotter than Pokémon Go! With the carriers' shared data schemes, players could easily burn up the family's data bucket – and then, hello, overages! At T-Mobile, we're unleashing Pokémon Go so our customers can play free for a year. It's gonna be a fantastic T-Mobile Tuesday!"
Well played, T-Mobile. Your move, Verizon. Can you guys stop raising our bloody prices for data coverage, now?
UPDATE: A representative from T-Mobile reached out and wanted to further clarify on the offer, citing that this deal is not automatically applied to all T-Mobile customers – they must claim the deal via the T-Mobile Tuesdays app in order to get the data. The customer would need to claim the Pokemon Go offer via the T-Mobile Tuesdays app versus having the offer automatically applied to their account.

Ellie Update: Vietnam
Hi everyone!
As you well know, I am currently in Vietnam! However, I have been unable to update my blog as often as I would have liked because blogspot is blocked here, which means I have to use proxy servers that are seriously slow!
So as I don't really want to spend ages on the internet due to costs, I decided to just post some of the pictures I have been taking around the country!


text: The Securities and Exchange Commission will take a tougher stand against accounting firms whose partners have engaged in wrongdoing, the head of enforcement told an accounting group Thursday. "The public auditors have failed to protect investors," Steve Cutler said. "The SEC should adopt a new enforcement model." The SEC has rarely censured auditing firms, but has sanctioned individual partners who ignore or abet accounting mistakes and fraud. Cutler suggested that may change if the agency continues to see instances of misconduct.

The annual pilgrimage season is about to begin in Saudi Arabia, where millions of Muslims visit the holy city of Mecca during Ramadan, which will start around 22 August, and culminates in the Hajj, in the second half of November 2009.
About 3 million pilgrims attend the Hajj annually, more than half of whom from overseas. The Saudi authorities as well as other Muslim nations are bracing themselves for a surge of H1N1 swine flu, as Muslims worship in heavily crowded space.
Both the Saudi Authorities and Muslim health officials decided to ban foreign young children and those over 65 years from attending this year's Hajj.
Analysis and forecast: increasing risk
The Ramadan pilgrimage and the Hajj season are both highlights of the Muslim religious calendar. They also are important sources of income for the Saudi government. Over 8 million pilgrims visit Saudi Arabia annually, most of who during this season.
The gathering of millions of people during the Hajj often leads to spread of minor communicable diseases, including flu. The gatherings therefore present an ideal place for the spread of swine flu. The Saudi authorities have been trying to take precautions to limit the spread of the virus, but given the large number of people ascending to the holy places at the same time, little can practically be done.
The challenges facing the Saudi government are:
- A predicted drop in the income from the Hajj. Currently, the Hajj pilgrimage is thought to directly contribute over 10 % of the non-oil GDP, in addition to income from related services (such as Hajj-related construction). In addition, other pilgrimages throughout the year (known as the Umra), contribute a significant proportion.
- A surge in the number of pilgrims infected with the virus will not only put a strain on the Saudi healthcare system, but will also help spread the virus in the kingdom. It is thought that 1.5 million Saudis take part in the pilgrimage, therefore potentially putting 5 percent of the population at direct risk.
The pilgrimage season will be the first such event of this size in the northern hemisphere, when the virus is expected to spread faster. The Saudi authorities will be faced with very serious health and economic challenges. Although the Saudi government is trying to take steps to limit the spread, such precautions are unlikely to be effective. This is because:
- Age limits have been put on pilgrims (under 12's and over 65's from foreign countries will not be allowed in). The virus has shown that it can affect younger and healthier people. In addition, with more than half the pilgrims coming from Saudi Arabia, this measure only practically applies to a portion of the pilgrims.
- Long incubation period (2 to over 5 days) means that even with limited screening of visitors, those infected will more likely not be detected.
The figure below shows the make-up of the Saudi GDP.

Alter Ego, Brunei, #BruneiCafeSeries - Brunei Coffee Shop
Alter Ego, located in Kiulap near Regent Square, is possibly one of the most aesthetically pleasing cafes that I've ever been in. Not only does it feature raw brick walls, marble and plenty of copper - but the ceiling is full of hanging plants. It is literally the most instagrammable cafe in Brunei. You heard it here first.
Yet again, this is another Bruneian cafe that serves an incredible range of coffee and tea - but if you prefer a soft drink, I'd highly recommend their Mango Tango (which has ginger, mint and mango). It's delicious. But again, no milk alternatives on offer. Fingers crossed for my next visit!
Aside from drinks, the cafe offers a wide range of lighter food options from Ramen to Beef burgers - although it definitely seems more of a lunch place than dinner. If you're here for a catch-up, they also offer various high tea and cake options - all which look delicious but I haven't tried them so can't comment!
But it's honestly so pretty that it's worth a visit, even just for a coffee & a cute instagram picture! I visited it earlier in April 2017 and it's safe to say that the service has improved so much since then - and I'm glad it has because it would be a shame to lose such a beautifully decorated location!
Price wise - it's fairly reasonably priced. Obviously not as cheap as your local Kopitiam but not extortinate. If you're from the UK, drinks are priced similarly to that of Costa Coffee.
Have you been here before? Does this look like somewhere you'd like to visit? If you live in Brunei, let me know your favourite cafes!

All is Calm, All is Bright
It's New Years day and the family started their journey home. I am sitting in a quiet kitchen with a cup of pumpkin spice coffee while the kids are at their own activities. I've already vacuumed the living room and I'm about to start a load of sheets. Folding up the blankets was a quiet reminder of the people who only a few hours ago, filled up this space with laughter. The house is markedly quieter--a bit empitier.
This trip was so lovely, I was amazed at how well the kids played together. They spent their afternoons crafting, playing in the snow and piling in the tent (set up in the playroom!) to watch movies together.
I was blessed by lots of crafting time with my sister in laws.
My heart was fulfilled by watercolor painting with the nephews and nieces and teaching my oldest nephew to knit. Pots of tea, carafes of coffee, jelly belly beans, homemade tamales, holiday meals... all of it shared with so much love.
This year our theme is going to be "All is Calm, All is Bright." I think we are already off to a great start.

Partnership. You'll hear that word a lot in the descriptions of our educational approach at Holland Christian Schools. After looking through our website, you'll get a good idea of our part in the relationship, but we'd like to make sure that you understand the key components of your role as well.
It's important to share the core beliefs that drive everything else we do. For that reason, your partnership with Holland Christian Schools needs at least one parent or guardian to love the Lord deeply and live in relationship with our Savior, Jesus Christ.
Your faith and commitment need to stay strong and healthy as they grow over the years. That happens in a church community which believes the Bible is the inspired word of God, so it's the basis for all life and learning. To work together well with HCS, you should belong to a church like that or attend regularly.
When you come to meet us, we'll make sure we spell out everything we're about, but we don't want your child's educational experience at Holland Christian Schools to be one-sided. It matters to us that you're on board with our mission and philosophy of education too and willing to champion those beliefs for your son or daughter.
No matter how hard we work, we need help! So pray for us. Think about assisting in the classroom or at an event if you're able. And help us keep Holland Christian affordable for everyone else by meeting your financial obligations to the school.
This is a place of discovery, and we would like both you and your child to be excited about the adventure to come. Often the learning will stretch your child, but if she perseveres, you can count on us to do all we can to give her the tools she needs to unleash her passions.
We're a community, a family. Being part of a group like that requires everyone to work well together, even when it's tough, so we want to see all of our students behaving in a way that shows care and respect for others and themselves.
We're thrilled you're ready to join us! Apply using the links below. Once we receive your completed application, if you're enrolling for the first time, we'll schedule an orientation meeting for you—an opportunity to meet your principal and discuss further what we believe, how we teach, and what it looks like to be part of the Holland Christian family.
If you have any questions, contact our Admissions Director, Courtney Lampen, at (616) 820-2804 or email@example.com.
2019/2020 Application Links
After we have confirmed your enrollment, our Tuition Manager will contact you with all the affordability information you need, including:
- Tuition information
- Payment options
- Financial Aid programs and directions for applying
Our goal is to provide you a path that best fit the needs of your family.
Notice of Non-discriminatory Policy as to Students: Admission to Holland Christian Schools is open to all families who desire a Christian education for their children. Holland Christian Schools does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, or age in its programs and activities.
The following person has been designated to handle inquiries regarding the non-discrimination policies:
Assistant Principal at Holland Christian High School

Bernie Sanders had another good night Tuesday but Hillary Clinton moved to within 100 delegates of clinching the Democratic nomination. Sanders won Oregon by about 9 points and appears to have come within a whisker of taking Kentucky. The Bluegrass State still has not been called by Associated Press as of this writing, although some media outlets are characterizing Clinton as the 'apparent winner'. She leads by about 0.5%.
Regardless of who wins Kentucky, proportional allocation means roughly a 50/50 split there. As of this morning, 27 delegates have been awarded to each, with one still outstanding. In Oregon, despite a decent Sanders margin, he only won four more delegates --28 to 24 -- than Clinton.
As of this morning, Clinton has 2,291 delegates, just 92 away from the 2,383 required to win the nomination.
On the Republican side, Donald Trump won Oregon and moved to within 77 of the 1,237 delegates needed to clinch.
Both Clinton and Trump should cross the delegate finish line on June 7. Between now and then, the election calendar is light. Next Tuesday, Republicans will vote in Washington followed by Democratic caucuses in the Virgin Islands on June 4 and Puerto Rico on June 5. The final big day of the primary season is the aforementioned June 7. California headlines five primaries that day.

text: The show looks to take us on a raunchy and awkward journey through puberty. It was created by Nick Kroll and Andrew Goldberg, and features the voice acting of Kroll, John Mulaney, Maya Rudolph, Jason Mantzoukas, Jordan Peele, Fred Armisen, Jenny Slate, and Jessi Klein. It will debut on Netflix on September 29, 2017.


text: The latest update for Fortnite has arrived, and it introduces a variety of new content on the Battle Royale and Save the World sides of the game. Update 6.22 is out now–as are Week 7 challenges–and Epic Games has shared the full patch notes that cover all the additions and changes, including some new limited-time modes and a weapon. Here's what's new. The new gun is the Heavy AR, which was announced through the in-game news feed recently. It comes in Rare, Epic, and Legendary forms, and you'll find it in chests, vending machines, and supply drops, and as floor loot. Another notable item-related change is a significant decrease in the drop rate of the recently added balloons. The first of the new LTMs is Team Terror. It pits two teams of 32 against each other with the goal of wiping out the opposing side. The wrinkle is that Cube Monsters, the enemies that players had to contend with during the recent Fortnitemares event, will also attack you. Of course, they can drop some nice loot, so it might make sense to deal with them before enemy players. The second LTM is the returning Blitz. This takes the basic Battle Royale gameplay and speeds things up, as the storm circle begins closing in right from the start of the match. It will also close in more frequently than usual, leading to matches that should last no longer than 15 minutes. To further speed things up, there's more loot to find… [Read full story]

SCENES | Something Rotten | Winter 2018
It is no secret that I love musical theatre (Les Mis may be my favorite story ever, and, anyone remember my [still ongoing] Hamilton phase?), so when Teale Dvornik reached out to see if I'd collaborate on some "On The Road" posts, I jumped at the chance! In her words "On The Road is an interview series, shot by local photographers across the country, featuring actors who are currently preforming in Broadway national tours."
Kate and Lucy are currently touring with Something Rotten - they made a stop at National Theatre this week, where we met up for a photoshoot. I first heard of Something Rotten when the Broadway cast did a number during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and I've wanted to see it ever since. The description according to the official site: "Set in the '90s – the 1590s – this hilarious smash tells the story of Nick and Nigel Bottom, two brothers who are desperate to write their own hit play while the "rock star" Shakespeare keeps getting all the hits. When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing and acting at the same time, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world's very first MUSICAL!"
It was such a pleasure spending some time with these two - they were so wonderful and fun to shoot with, and I always love getting to explore cool buildings and go backstage. Plus, the instruction to "act theatrical" was a natural fit! If you're in DC, make sure to check out the play before it leaves town!

text: Community Night is an event hosted by ENC STEM every year where students get to show friends, families, and members of the community some of what they have been learning in their classes. Our 2017 Community Night saw our largest number of attendees so far! Many families and community members were astounded by the knowledge that students have gained at ENC STEM, and many learned a few things as well. We also continued our tradition of celebrating our rising seniors who saw their last summer at ENC STEM as a student, though we hope to see many of them back as student reps and interns. We finished off with our program tradition of "shout outs." Students and guests had a chance to shout out people who displayed one, or multiple, of our five focus character traits: collaboration, perseverance, curiosity, professionalism, and urgency.

Unconventional misfit or uncaring monster? Before Mary, before Byron, before Frankenstein, the life of Horsham's most (in)famous son was already the stuff of scandal.
Lights & Bushels, Horsham's award-winning innovative theatre company presents the world premiere of this powerful and thought-provoking play by Kathryn Attwood. Written especially for the Year of Culture, Mad Shelley shines a light on the less well known but no less fascinating aspects of the life of the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley – his first marriage and subsequent estrangement from his wealthy Horsham family.

On the eleventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…
Here's a little secret about me. I love fun, unique items that aren't found in every household. When I came across The Tickle Trunk, I was like a kid in a candy store.
The Tickle Trunk is a Canadian company that sells 18/8 stainless steel products. Carolyn, the owner of The Tickle Trunk also owns Onyx which manufactures all of the items that are sold on The Tickle Trunk.
With so many concerns about plastics today, stainless steel is a good alternative for holding and storing food. We were sent an ONYX Popsicle Mold to review and this made for a fun mommy/daughter day. The popsicle molds are 18/8 stainless steel and are made so that once frozen, they can be removed one at a time so the unused popsicles remain untouched.
So many liquids can be made in to popsicles, but we chose to make Fruit Smoothie Popsicles. We used some yogurt, orange juice and some fruit we had left over from the summer that we froze for a special occaision (like mother/daughter fruit smoothie making day!).
We mixed up the smoothies, then filled the popsicle molds and left some room at the top for expansion. The popsicle molds come with a metal plate that covers the top of the mold, plus some silicone rings to hold the popsicle in place. We placed the molds in the stand it comes with to hold them upright and froze them for a couple of hours.
When we were ready for our snack, we pulled one out of the stand and ran it under some hot water for a few seconds. Being stainless steel it doesn't take long to loosen, just a few seconds. Once the popsicle was out, the mold rinsed out so easily.
The popsicles turned out great. Knowing all of the ingredients that went in to our frozen treats is also a plus. Baby Bird and I were supposed to 'share' the popsicle but on the end I think I may have only gotten about 10% of it.
The Tickle Trunk carries a wide range of other products as well from bowls and cups to retro ice cube trays.
Do you have someone on your list who loves fun gift ideas, or someone who is concerned about plastics? This is a great store to look around in for those gift ideas.

The Knight's special ability is to summon a Guardian Angel, making him invincible. However, this ability renders him immobile whilst in use, therefore is useless for evading permanent hazards, like spikes and lava.
The Knight's tale is one of chivalry and heroism. And lack thereof. One day, a courageous knight was riding through the land, when he suffered a fatal heart attack. The actual 'hero' of this tale was a peasant boy who happened to be picking radishes nearby. Realizing an opportunity to improve his social standing, the peasant boy stole the knight's armor and horse, becoming "The Knight". Unfortunately, The Knight didn't quite realize the responsibilities that came with knighthood, not to mention the combat experience needed. Choosing to avoid defending the innocent and fleeing from battles, his every attempt at heroism ended up being purely for show, still being no more than a common peasant in armor. Eventually his travels took him to a kingdom under threat from a dragon, where he was asked by The King (Alongside a less-than-enthusiastic Princess) to slay the beast and save the kingdom. Depending on how the player completes his journey through The Cave, The Knight's response will differ.
Corruption: The Knight accepts The King's quest, still clinging to the lie of being a hero. Greatly underestimating the situation however, he fails, leading to the destruction of the kingdom and everyone inside, the Knight included.
Redemption: The peasant confesses the truth about his facade as The Knight. Despite the deception however, his bravery in admitting the truth seems to impress both royal hosts, with The King leading his knights to fight the dragon, the former peasant boy apparently being among them, The Princess giving him a kiss on the cheek.
- The Knight's Object of Desire is Excalibur, representing his ill-fated attempts at heroism.
- The Knight weighs 229, making him the heaviest character.
- Technically the best character for earning the achievement Who Wants To Live Forever thanks to his ability to survive accidental falls, although the large number of potential hazards in his level are worth bearing in mind. Teaming up with The Monk allows the level to be completed with minimal risk.
- Regardless of which group of characters you're playing as, he is the first character level you come across.

Yesterday, I was talking to my girl about holding d*cks. Stay with me….. I was telling her about how I found myself just that morning, holding on to the d*ck of my current male interest. I wasn't sucking it, or particularly stroking it (just a little bit owwwwww Cardi voice.) I was mostly just holding, caressing, examining it even.
And so I asked my girl if that was something she had ever done, or is/would be comfortable doing the same. My girl, head tilted, eyeballs in the direction of the ceiling "No, I don't think so".
See I had hypothesized that for most women, the answer would be "no". And finally, with my collective sample size of 1, I was able to conclude that I was correct.
Now, there is a high possibility that I just happen to be mad. Because who the hell just sits and touches the d*ck without doing anything, or even planning to do anything with it? Who sits there and has conversations while holding and looking at the DDDD??? ('Twas a hefty one) Well, who said anything needed to be done with it?
We started talking about why we had never done it and agreed that it was because we found it too intimidating – the kind of intimidation that would eventually manifest as awkwardness. And I don't know about you, but I haven't always felt unburdened to fill what felt like empty/awkward spaces with something. D*ck…. it's just there; really it just hangs. It's a tool, both literally and figuratively. Nonetheless, when we, the unfortunate heteros interact with this tool, we do so believing that something must be done with it. Something that brings pleasure to the man- as to not bore him, or tease him for too long, because his pleasure is not to be toyed with.
I understand that there is such a thing as teasing and it is not what I'm trying to address, as teasing carries a sexual element/undertone. But I ask again, have you ever innocently just caressed the d*ck? It's ok, I laughed too. Of course, when I discussed my discovery with said male-interest, he expressed that this "pressure" wasn't something he was familiar with. In fact, while writing this, I found myself almost writing the following:
"No, of course, you shouldn't just go around teasing or arousing people without plans to help them reach a climax. It isn't fair." But then again when I think about who it is unfair to, I'm going to be honest with you: I'm mostly thinking of the man. Now I know that I have social conditioning to thank for this, but while I'm on this journey to unlearn, I find myself more interested in sexual pleasure and how we've come to determine which gender is more burdened with delivering pleasure – and thus, who feels more entitled to it. I find it interesting that a man can play with my most sensitive areas, especially while in a state of relaxation and not be too concerned with how unfair it is to me, just because it might arouse me. How for him, it can just be 'intimacy'. But for me, his climax seems like my top priority.
Why is my response to the idea of a man's arousal, the instant need to satisfy and "settle" him? Why is arousing him without eventually helping him climax "unfair" to him? Especially if said sexual arousal functions the same way in both men and women? And WHYYYY (oh God) does this pressure not swing both ways?
Could it be that I had just never found the man that I was comfortable enough to do that with? I don't know. I think that a lot of women were at some point like me – conditioned to believe that pleasure and sex, in general, is just another thing that you give to the man. That the end result of sex itself is the man's pleasure. Which truly, is unfortunate, because that isn't how it should be. In intimate spaces most especially, I don't think anyone should be afraid to just touch- to tease even, without the added pressure of needing to "settle".
I also think part of this – non-pressurized d*ck-grabbing- is me embracing my space fully in these settings – and part of that is deciding not to ignore discomfort, no matter how awkward it may seem. Part of it is understanding that I matter, just as much as he does (shit, more if we're really being honest) and that I need to be honest at all times with myself- and him, about what I want. The end result should be mutually enjoyed.
It makes me think about our relationship with the male's body and how much unrestricted access (even with the men we are intimate with) we think we have to it. I've experienced non-sexual intimacy with men. I've had naked conversations, complete with soft kisses and beautiful bullshit.
BUT HAVE YOU EVER JUST HELD THE D*CK THOO?? No? Ok.
Alexa, play Brandy's "Have You Ever"
Thanks for attending my Ted Talk.

Keira Knightley stars as the title character in The Duchess, in theaters September 19.
The tagline for this period romantic drama, based on a true story, is "There were three people in her marriage". The other two are Ralph Fiennes and Mamma Mia!'s Dominic Cooper, who gets some steamy action with Knightley in the film's trailer.

Dear Ornithology Community,
I am writing to share highlights of the 136th annual conference of the AOS, recently held at the Hilton El Conquistador in Tucson, Arizona. THANK YOU to the 780 individuals who came together for the conference, presented their science, exchanged ideas and contributed so generously to fellowship and camaraderie. We welcomed representatives from 13 countries as well as members of the public from throughout SE Arizona. Importantly, students and early professional members of the society made up 50% of conference attendees. Thanks to everyone attending, the Tucson meeting was a success for ornithology and for the society.
That said, the AOS is committed to continuous improvement in planning and hosting relevant and exciting meetings. We want to hear from ALL of you about ways to improve our annual conference and the professional development opportunities we offer. Please fill out this short survey (LINK), whether you attended the meeting or were not able to go this year. Thanks in advance for your time!
On behalf of the society, I would also like to thank RUTH and STEVE RUSSELL, honorary co-chairs of the conference, SALLIE HEJL, National Park Service, chair of the Local Planning Committee, COURTNEY CONWAY, University of Idaho, chair of the Scientific Program Committee, and SUSAN SKAGEN, USGS (emeritus) and MIKE WEBSTER, Cornell Lab of Ornithology, co-chairs of the Meetings Coordination Committee. From my own experience, I know they are equally exhausted and exhilarated by their efforts to put on such a successful meeting, and we are grateful for all of their work.
It is also my pleasure to thank Steve Beissinger, who stepped down from serving as the first President of the new AOS, for his steady hand in stewarding the society and the ornithological community through a period of rapid change. We all benefited from his thoughtful leadership and deep commitment to the future of our society.
Finally, I'd like to summarize those important activities and recognition that take place at our annual meeting: announcing the results of the annual elections, and conferring AOS's annual awards in recognition of individual contributions to ornithology and to the society.
