Actual footage of us after reading the entire thing 20 times:
ANYWAY. Sitting down with The Guardian, here are some of the most heart-breaking quotes from the entire interview:
It begins on a sad note, describing Louis as:
"Not the best singer, not the high-energy guy, not the dude, Tomlinson discovered he was the one in the band who was most tuned into backstage logistics..."
Ouch. Our hearts.
Then, a lot of the interview is Louis comparing himself to his bandmates, and feeling as if he was unimportant, who didn't have much talent in comparison to the others.
"Zayn has a fantastic voice and for him it was always about owning that. Liam always had a good stage presence, same as Harry, they've both got that ownership. Harry comes across very cool. Liam's all about getting the crowd going, doing a bit of dancing…"
"And then there's me."
Outraged, many fans have rallied behind Louis online to show their support, and to prove that they do love him, his voice and all his important contributions to the band.
Louis also revealed that while on X Factor, he was never given a solo. That brutally affected him...
"When you actually think about how that feels, standing on stage every single week, thinking: 'What have I really done to contribute here? Sing a lower harmony that you can't really hear in the mix?" He guesses, smiling wryly, that in those months he was best known as "The kid wearing espadrilles, stood in't back."
Louis has since collaborated with huge names, like Steve Aoki and Bebe Rexha, but he admits that reaching out to other artists as a solo act is not at all easy.
"I couldn't say to you now that I could definitely get a superstar writer in a session with me. And I understand that. Harry won't struggle with any of that."
One of the saddest aspects of the interview surrounded his late mother Johannah Deakin, who passed away last year.
He revealed the exact moment his mother told him her medical condition was terminal while he was at Jamie Vardy's wedding. This explains that fan photo...
"Talk about your places, for something super-traumatic. My mum told me, uh, yeah, that she was definitely terminal."
Losing your mum is hard enough, but when you hear how close the two were... you might cry into the next decade.
"I remember the day I lost my virginity. I hadn't even told any of my mates and I was, like: 'Mum? I know this is really weird. But I've got to tell you…' I remember thinking this is a bizarre conversation to be having with your mother. But it's testament to how comfortable she made me."
As you all may know, Louis performed his hit song "Just Hold On" during an X Factor performance, only a few days after she passed.
"I remember saying to her: 'Mum, how the f*** do you expect me to do this now?' And she didn't swear much, my mum. She'd always tell me off for swearing. And this time she was like: 'You've got to f****** do it, it's as simple as that.' It was football manager, team talk stuff.'"
Louis also admitted that his last year in One Direction was when he felt his best, and most confident... and that's when it ended.
"In the last year of One Direction I was probably the most confident I ever was. And then it was: 'OK, hiatus!'"
He fought against it, but as we know... it happened regardless.
Hopefully, with his album coming out, Louis will see how talented he is... which he is. One thing the interview didn't touch on was Louis' songwriting skills, but true fans will know that already.
Louis actually had his new album playing during the interview, which has been described as:
"They're modest, rather lovely pop songs that in their quiet way seem to acknowledge his underdog status."
We can't freaking wait.

After the enormous success of Hope House's Backpack Drive last year, Tom and Cathy Benzler have now set their sights on feet. Not only do the children of the Olympic Peninsula's tribes need shoes for the upcoming winter, but a pair of new socks shoes encourages excitement for a new school year.
Across the tribes of Washington State, (the Benzler's work primarily with the Lower Elwha, LaPush, and the Hoh), the high school graduation rate is only 53%. Only half of the Native American students in Washington graduate from high school. Unfortunately, this is the norm among American Indians and Alaska Natives across the nation.
It's a huge problem with a lot of moving parts, but as far as Tom and Cathy are concerned, they know the work they are doing is making a difference!
"Last year, the children were so excited to get their backpacks and school supplies," says Cathy. "I think so many of us take back to school shopping for granted. But for some of these kids, this was the first time they had something new for a new school year. It's amazing what a profound affect a small gift can have."
One little boy loved his Batman backpack so much, he insisted on wearing it everywhere he went until school started. Just imagine if he got some Batman socks this year!
New socks and shoes make start the school year off right and make school exciting.
A generous donor from Indiana will be delivering 92 pairs of new shoes to the Hope House in July, and Tom and Cathy would love to include a couple new pairs of socks with each pair.
But, there is more than just shoes and backpacks at work here.
Tom explains that the work he and Cathy are doing is helping to build up the community.
A few years ago, the Benzlers helped to create small gardens in the yards of a handful of families on the reservations after noticing the severe lack of access to fresh vegetables. Within a few years, the Lower Elwha tribal leadership built a large community garden.
After the impact of last year's backpack giveaway, a local tribal-owned casino offered a grant to cover this year's backpacks and school supplies.
"If we can continue to raise awareness and get the ball rolling, we can really make an impact on the lives of Native Americans living on the Olympic Peninsula!" insists Cathy. "We really want all these children to know that someone genuinely cares about them. They are the future, and we want to help give them a bright future!"
Socks seem like a small thing, but for a child with little to call their own - they can mean a future!
As of this story, the Benzler have 92 pairs of shoes and about three dozen pairs of socks to distribute to the Native communities with whom they have relationships. But, more goods means more children reached and facilitates relationships with new communities. (Last year's backpacks opened a door for the Benzlers to start working on the Hoh Reservation!)
You can help by collecting NEW socks that can be distributed to students in need this fall.
Poster is size 11"x17" but can be printed to the size you need.
Collected socks can be shipped to:

Trick-Or-Treating in the halls of the GBS girls dorm.
Sarah (2 years)

This is absolutely adorable! :)
cute, cute!!
Oh, my. My first thought is wow, the dorm has come a long way since then!
Me too! I'd like to show this picture to any girls who complain about the dorms. Remember mom talking about how she saw the naked lightbulbs in the hall, called Grandpa and told him they wouldn't be staying here? (32 years ago. ha)
OK, that is a laugh-out-loud picture! Please tell me where I can find that rooster costume for my kids. Or is it Raggedy Annie? This is rich. I might steal it for my blog.
I actually remember you both at that age. This is Stephanie Burley's cousin, Andrea. I use to come over to your house at GBS, when I was visiting my Uncle Joe and Aunt Carol Brown. Very cute pic! Your kids are adorable! Love your posts!
tooo adorable!!! love it!!! ;-)

Yesterday, the Android market had 21 applications pulled by Google and force-removed from users' devices due to them containing an exploit called 'rageagainstthecage'. And while Google successfully and quickly pulled the software from the market and from devices ("kill switch"), those 21 apps were downloaded over 50,000 times (bigger market, bigger target).
It was bound to happen. We've been bombarded for years about the threat of computer viruses, exploits, Trojans, etc. and if there was ever a viable target today, Android would be it. It has an open market (no approval processes), huge market share and one heck of a hacker community. How serious is the exploit? Our sister site Android Central says:
rageagainstthecage...opens the door for the app to do anything with your data -- like send it to a remote server. Of course with root it can do much worse as well.
If you installed any of these applications, they should have been pulled off your phone, but that's not enough. You need to do a full system wipe and reset your phone completely, the data wipe and reset from settings may not be enough. This means ODIN, RUU's, .sbf files or a trip to your carrier store if this is beyond your capabilities.
Mind you, all 21 apps were uploaded by one person. Going further, Android Police, who originally broke the story says
...it steals nearly everything it can: product ID, model, partner (provider?), language, country, and userID. But that's all child's play; the true pièce de résistance is that it has the ability to download more code. In other words, there's no way to know what the app does after it's installed, and the possibilities are nearly endless.
Egads. While we hope nothing too nefarious has happened, it goes to show that having a regulated Marketplace, like Windows Phone, where the code is checked for such things can be quite valuable when compared to what Android users are now facing. Will this become a regular occurrence? What will Google do to address the problem? It will be interesting to see in the next couple of days the fallout from this breach.

Melanie and Matt's Engagement Portraits
These were taken of Melanie and Matt way back in January, when it was still cold! Melanie and Matt are getting married later this year on a destination wedding, and needed some engagement portraits. I was so happy they called me! I had a blast photographing them in Uptown Park, and found out that Matt plays in the Wade Bowen Band (how cool!). Check out Wade Bowen and his band, they've got some great music.
Here are some of my favorite photos from the shoot. I hope you all enjoy. Have a great weekend!

Fujifilm received strong response from across the world at
Value-added solutions with UV inkjet presses in the field of corrugated printing
Fujifilm Graphic Systems division held the 'GLOBAL CORRUGATED SUMMIT,' from November 2015 to the end of January 2016, an event for introducing the latest corrugated printing* solutions based around the 'Onset X' series of wide-format UV inkjet presses by the British company Inca. The event toured Fujifilm showrooms around the world including UK production facility in Broadstairs, Kent.
The use of UV inkjet technology is rapidly spreading in the field of corrugated printing. It has become essential for printing businesses to offer customization and value-adding to meet customer needs, e.g. variable data printing enabling changes for each printing copy, and standalone displays. More and more brand owners are seeking customization in corrugated printing, forcing corrugated press to achieve short-run customized jobs at a lower cost, quick turnaround and superior quality.
UV inkjet technology not only facilitates customers' needs for variable printing and value-added printing to expand their scope of business fields, but also enables 'cost-efficient short-run printing' and 'inventory reduction' to create potential for maximizing printing companies' profitability. This means corrugated press that engage in conventional analog printing as well as companies seeking new business opportunities are starting to consider the introduction of UV inkjet press to set themselves apart from competitors. Seizing the market needs, Fujifilm made the decision to launch this event to provide attendees with everything they need to make a detailed assessment of the value of UV inkjet technology to their business.
■ Fujifilm's UV inkjet technology enabling high-quality and value-added printing
Featuring Fujifilm's UV inkjet technology and equipment, this event involved seminars, printing demonstrations and sample exhibitions to show how they could add values to printed materials and expand business potential.
Since 2001, Fujifilm has partnered with Inca to jointly develop wide-format UV inkjet presses. Inca's expandable system design technology was combined with Fujifilm's capacity to develop inkjet printheads and inks to create industry-leading advanced solutions. In the field of corrugated printing, the partnership led to the 'Onset X series' flatbed UV inkjet press and 'Clnichtech' double robot handling system to automate and improve the productivity of corrugated printing. Solving the issue of odor in conventional UV printing, Fujifilm's UVijet OL and LM inks, developed for corrugated printing, have reduced odor equivalent to flexo printing, broadening the scope of substrate applicability and applications. This has facilitated users' transition from analog printing.
■ Southeast Asian tour held following strong response
The CORRUGATED SUMMIT received strong response in the U.K. and Thailand. In the U.K., the Summit attracted 70 companies over the three-month period. Visitor comments included, "The display of actual equipment with a full-auto loader and numerous samples prepared in actual work helped us understand the advantages of digitizing corrugated printing" and "It was very useful to experience comprehensive solutions covering not only UV inkjet presses but also inks and post-processes."
The event held in the 'WFIJ Demo & Training Center' in Thailand at late November attracted a large number of visitors from across Southeast Asia. In response, another Summit has been scheduled for Manila, the Philippines.
The need for short-run printing and quick turnaround is increasing in the field of corrugated printing. With the increase of customized needs, printing companies must deliver both creativity and efficiency in their production processes. To meet such changes in the market environment, Fujifilm will offer UV inkjet solutions, based around the 'Onset X' series, to provide powerful support to customers in their quest for business expansion.

Friday night's Kickoff Classics were the final tune-ups for Broward and Palm Beach high school football teams before next week's season openers.
Though most games were far from classics, coaches had their agendas for what they were hoping to accomplish.
"We were coming in here to see what we have as a team," Plantation coach Steve Davis said. "Now is the time to put on the uniform to see who can play and make adjustments heading into next week."
Davis' Colonels, though not in midseason form, had an easy time of it against Monarch, beating the Knights 45-0 in the first game of a doubleheader at Deerfield Beach High.
Jordan Johnson and Maurice Lawrence each scored on first-quarter runs for Plantation, who will open the season at home against Cardinal Gibbons.
Monarch, in rebuilding mode under first-year coach Willie Dodaro, struggled with both its inexperience and undersized offensive line.
"What we're working on is to build unity and family," Dodaro said. "The kids are young and it's a good environment to bring up the program because we only have five seniors.
"We want them to learn what they're playing against. Today was a teaching day."
Coconut Creek, expected to have one of its finest teams in years, played Deerfield Beach in the nightcap.
The Cougars have a talented passing attack led by senior receivers Binjimen Victor and Trayvon Mullen. Senior Jhakari Harrison is Creek's highly touted quarterback.
"We wanted to see some guys in game action," coach Kareem Reid said. "We wanted to see how much we had grown since the spring.
"We wanted to see that game speed, with a big challenge ahead of us next week against Marist in Georgia."
Deerfield Beach saw its first game action under new coach Jevon Glenn. The Bucks are trying to rebound after a 4-6 season and missing the playoffs last season.
The Bucks will host Cypress Bay in their season opener next Friday.
In a two-county game between Boca Raton and host Coral Springs, Bobcats coach Eric Davis got a good look at his team before their season opener at home against West Boca next Friday.
Boca defeated Springs after leading by 21 points though three quarters.
Tickets on sale
Tickets for the much anticipated season opener between Booker T. Washington and St. Thomas Aquinas in Fort Lauderdale next Friday will go on sale Tuesday.
Tickets will be sold at both schools and will range from $10 in advance to $12 at the door. No coaches or teacher passes are allowed. Game time is 8 p.m. and can be seen on ESPN.
St. Thomas enters the game as the defending Class 7A state champion and a preseason No. 1 state ranking in their class. Washington comes in as a three-time Class 4A state champ, a No. 1 preseason state ranking in 4A and winners of 41 consecutive games.
Correspondent Alex Kushel contributed to this report.

We have a lot of work to do outside and in the garden, the builders were still here last spring/summer, and so now we have all these new decks and planters and stairs and fences that need painting and staining, and it all generally needs some love and attention. I'm trying to be a bit more motivated myself, and not rely on Matt to do them all. Because I am just as capable, just not very confident.
I've found it's good for Elroy to be outside in the fresh air more too and once he's settled playing, or riding his bike, then I can potter about. Or sit and read a book, it feels like a luxury, and it's the first time since he was born that I've really just done things for myself while he's awake. I don't know why, I guess he is demanding and I give in easily.
Random pics from the last week: E painting the house, I made a lemon meringue pie and the lilac in the garden is flowering, E crafting in the morning.

'Train to the Plane' Line Opens in Denver
Denver Region's First Commuter Rail Results from Innovations in Technology and Finance
On April 22, the Denver Regional Transportation District (RTD) opened the University of Colorado A Line, a 22.8-mile electrified commuter rail corridor. Residents and visitors now enjoy an easy, affordable and reliable link between Denver International Airport and the Mile High City's thriving downtown area, via Denver Union Station.
Part of the voter-approved FasTracks plan to expand transit across the metro region, the University of Colorado A Line is the flagship line in the Eagle P3 project, RTD's planned commuter rail network, and the nation's first full public-private partnership transit project of this size. The University of Colorado A Line connects communities not currently served by existing rail.
"RTD's visionary leadership has created a truly unique and remarkable new transit option for the Denver region," HDR Transit Director Tom Waldron said. "Many aspects of this project have already inspired other transportation agencies, both in the U.S and abroad."
Fluor/HDR Global Design Consultants, LLC, (Fluor/HDR) is the lead engineering firm for rail-system engineering, design and implementation for Eagle P3's three commuter lines totaling 36 miles, including the University of Colorado A Line and its nearly 23 miles of trackway. The team also designed and provided construction support for all aspects of the rail line's associated infrastructure: 16 rail bridges, 13 grade crossings, six transit stations (plus one underway), and one traction-power substation.
At a total cost of $2.2 billion, the Eagle P3 project draws financing from both public- and private-sector sources, including RTD sales taxes, a $1.03 billion federal grant and $450 million in private dollars from the project's concessionaire, Denver Transit Partners (DTP). Denver Transit Partners is the designer and builder, as well as the operator and maintainer of RTD's commuter rail network until 2050.
RTD selected Denver Transit Partners based on its best-value proposal. With Fluor/HDR as its lead designer, DTP proposed many alternative technical concepts that improved the project's cost effectiveness and satisfied RTD guidelines. Among them was the use of alternating-current electricity to power the University of Colorado A Line trains, one of the first electric commuter lines in the Western U.S. to employ AC power rather than a more common, direct-current system.
"The trains are powered by alternating current through the overhead catenary system, which was an efficient and cost effective solution because of our ability to construct a reduced number of larger power substations," HDR Principal Project Manager John Kalvelage said. "Typical rail transit systems that use direct current require a traction-power substation every 1.5 miles. Consequently, the University of Colorado A Line cost less to build, and will cost less to operate and maintain."
The University of Colorado A Line trains transport passengers at speeds up to 79 mph. Travel time between Denver Union Station and Denver International Airport is about 37 minutes. The trains stop at each of seven stations in 15-minute intervals during peak hours and 30-minute intervals during off-peak hours. The University of Colorado A Line links with the city's existing light-rail service via Denver Union Station, offering visitors many transit options for navigating the city and an alternative to congested highways. By 2030, daily ridership is expected to reach nearly 38,000.
Opening of the University of Colorado A Line was celebrated with a ceremony at Denver International Airport on April 22, where Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper and other special guests commemorated the achievement. Communities adjacent to the University of Colorado A Line hosted additional celebrations April 23 at each of six transit stations. Denver RTD also offered free fares to ride the new University of Colorado A Line during the Friday and Saturday celebrations prior to starting regular revenue service on Sunday.

Great idea! BN should take notice because they are losing sales to Amazon for their nook "knacks".
I love my BookGem... it fits nook very nicely, and also plays well with nook in its JAVOedge cover.

It will fit the Nook, but for $1.49 at any office supply store, you can purchase a simple business card stand that does the same thing quite nicely.

Has anyone found, or know about after-market cables for the various versions? For instance, I do a lot of reading in bed, and the New HD had a very large end, [32 pin] cable for recharging and hard data transfer via USB. Bad news is, it comes straight out the bottom and you don't want to be flexing the base. Plus, it's too short.
What would be real nice is a 90° end to go into the bottom of the HD, and about 5 feet longer.

People who need to put others down to make themselves feel big are bullies, bullies never prosper and while initially may develop a following, those people will ultimately realise what they are about. People who indulge in this kind of behaviour should be ashamed of themselves - I thought at 30 I would no longer have to deal with this kind of "playground" situation - it's quite sad.
While of course, everyone has their own opinion and I respect that everyone is entitled to their own, you may love me, hate me or be indifferent to me - as I am to others, however you will never hear me say I'm 'better' than anyone else, compare myself or my work to anyone elses or try to belittle anyone. This is not behaviour I will indulge in. Of course I may express my opinions from time to time but I do so solely to my family and close friends who I trust and are never shared in public. I never compare my work to anyone elses because mine is different - I have no competition because my work is my own, I like and respect many other designers work and of course buy and use others designers work in my crafting. I'm not a retailer up against other retailers to compete on the price of say a particular rubber stamp because I only sell my own things and that is how I intend it to stay. Im not looking for competition, drama or confrontation.
I wish everyone the best of luck in setting, aiming for and reaching their goals - everyone is looking for something different. I'm lucky enough to have achieved some of mine, working with great companies, working with lovely people and of course I have more I want to achieve - I intend to do so without knocking anyone else down in the process.

Welcome back team! Hope everybody enjoyed their rest week.
We are back at it, starting off with a nice intensity block.
Sunday's practice will be the MEC race happening at Camp Fortune.
Register here: https://events.mec.ca/node/198786
I suggest most people register for the 11km. In an intensity block, I don't want anyone racing
longer than that.
I am in Jericho, VT with some members of the race team at the North American Rollerski Championships! Katie will be covering shooting practice while I am away. Since a large portion of the team will be in Vermont & we have limited coach availability this week, Wednesday biathlon practice will be joining Katie in the gym with Nordic Race (no rifles please ;).

This year I organized my first Secret Santa for fellow Dutch booklovers, bookbloggers and bookstagrammers. Since this was a novelty for me, I thought it would be fun to look back on the results and share some pictures.
We ended up with a small group of participants that were all lovely and enthusiastic. Secret Santas received an e-mail and were told to put together a package for someone with 1-2 books and some additional goodies. None of us knew who we would get a package from, adding the fun surprise element. All participants put together really nice packages and showed their creative side. Packages didn't just contain books, but also other items such as snacks, tea and jewelry. Check out some of the Secret Santa photos below!
I think that the gift exchange was a success, so I might consider organizing another Secret Santa in 2018, if I have the time. For now, I want to wish all of you a Merry Christmas! Stay tuned for my end-of-year post that will go up somewhere this week!

Natural Gas Futures Rally on Bullish Storage Miss; Spot Prices Surge on April Chills | Natural Gas Intelligence
Natural gas futures closed out the week on a bullish note Friday, with the front month adding close to a nickel on the heels of a larger-than-expected April storage withdrawal. Spot prices surged across the northern United States as forecasters were calling for colder temperatures and even some snow over the weekend; the NGI National Spot Gas Average climbed 17 cents to $2.59/MMBtu.
After trading as high as $2.760, the May contract added 4.9 cents to settle at $2.735 Friday, a larger increase compared to much smaller gains the prior two sessions. June settled at $2.764, up 4.7 cents day/day.
Thursday's storage data surprising to the bullish side, along with stronger cash prices ahead of more chilly April weather, helped drive Friday's rally, INTL FCStone Financial Inc. Senior Vice President Tom Saal told NGI.
"I think it's a reaction to Thursday's storage number," Saal said. "It was a pretty healthy withdrawal. Obviously not a triple digit one, but it was pretty good for this time of year." The withdrawal is subtracting from "the already low number. It's making the job to fill storage even bigger."
Prices still sit on the wrong side of $3 from the bulls' perspective, although "a week ago everybody had it going to $2.50. Now we've got a little bit of friendly information, and the market reacted towards it. That's positive," Saal said.

So I am thinking about trying to go back to work after 3 years of dealing with severe depression, anxiety and pain. To say the least I am scared of not being able to to do it. I have always prided myself on being able to do anything I set my mind to and accomplish things no matter the obstacle. So how do I do this?
I am not used to being gone from home for so long, let alone working and driving and concentrating. And what about my memory and cognitive problems caused by my medications? Will I be able to understand my new job and what I am supposed to do?
So I have an interview next week and I will let everyone know what happens through the process. Just keep your head up and tackle one things at a time. Thats what I am doing!

Nicely finished. This a gift that shows you care, and will be enjoyed by the person that gets it for a very long time!
I've spent an entire 5 days in Tunis the capital of Tunisia and surrounding areas. But the Journey begins at the most Northern Point of Africa. On google, the most Northern Level of Africa is in Bizerte, Northern Tunisia. Bizerte is a metropolis that lies on the Mediterranean sea with breathtaking beaches. After the journey has ended, get a heat bath or shower for about 20 minutes to relax you and your muscle mass. In addition a relaxing massage or Reiki treatment may be helpful.
Generally, I get frustrated. I would like the grandchildren to know the newest growth in know-how and be capable to use them. I want to encourage them to think future. At the similar time, after I see them caught into these newest electronics toys, I inform myself, what have I finished? No engagement with the skin world. And but, it surprises me that though they're in their video games or their iPhones, they arrive up typically with sudden feedback within the ongoing conversation.

The Rock Insurance Minnesota:
Universal Life Insurance Minnesota
What is Universal Life Insurance?
Term and whole life insurance had its issues in the early days, so in the 1970s universal life insurance was developed. The payment process works similarly to the others. That is, you pay premiums on a regular basis and when you die the company will pay out to your beneficiaries in accordance with the contract.
The way insurance works is that they take a percentage of each payment for themselves. The rest goes into the fund you're leaving for your beneficiaries. Universal life insurance takes the money and pays into the company's investment portfolio rather than a fund. If the investments do well, more is paid out to your beneficiaries.
This may sound like gambling, but most policies guarantee a minimum payout. This means your beneficiaries will get an agreed upon amount. If the portfolio does well, then your beneficiaries could wind up benefiting greatly. That said, you have no control over the investments made with your funds. The portfolio is managed by the company, and you accept the success and loss when you buy the policy.
Thankfully, most policies offered are quite flexible. While you have no control over how the funds are invested, you do have control over how much you pay, how often you pay, and other factors.
Just as an example, say you get a new job and have a sudden increase in income. You could choose to increase the amount you pay for each payment. That way you can build up a larger fund much more quickly. The reverse is also true. You can reduce your payment amounts and save money each month. You could even pull money out of the fund if you're in serious need. This could have a number of other effects, however. You won't accumulate value as quickly, and that can be risky when talking about insurance. If you were to pass away soon after a deduction your beneficiaries will be the ones who suffer.
That said, withdrawn funds are considered "basis first". That means you won't have to pay more in taxes unless you withdraw more than what you've paid in. If you withdraw more than that, the excess is taxed the same way as income.
If you plan carefully, it's possible to set up a universal life insurance policy in such a way as to ensure the invested value covers the premiums. This would free you of the obligation to continue paying the premiums while still allowing the value of your policy to increase.
It can not be stressed enough that deducting from the value of the policy can result in multiple problems down the line. You could wind up paying exponentially more money due to taxes. If you take out a loan, withdraw policy values, or if actual investment returns decrease then you may need to pay more out of your pocket. This would ruin any self-payment set up. Also, keep in mind that a guarantee is only as good as the company making it. If the issuing company folds or restructures you could wind up with nothing.
Another lucky break, federal tax rules help to protect from some of that. As long as the policy doesn't lapse before the insured's death and isn't a modified endowment contract then loans taken out will be free of taxes. This is due to the nature of the loan. It's presumed the loan will be paid back, if not in life then out of the fund after the insured's death. The more you withdraw, the more likely it is that the policy will lapse or something will go wrong and send your policy into a financial spiral.
Life insurance is just like every other insurance in terms of costs. The price changes depending on a number of factors. Older people may have to pay more, and the terminally ill may not be able to buy life insurance at all. Life insurance can be a difficult decision from a financial perspective. It's hard to fathom your own death, and no one wants to think about what happens after their death. Policies can change due to federal and state laws, as well. That doesn't make things any easier. There can also be charges if you cash out a policy prematurely. So once you pay into the policy, your money is there until the agreed upon time. And in the case of life insurance, that means your death.
However, don't gamble with your loved ones. Life insurance is important. And for those who want flexibility in how their policies work, universal life insurance can work wonders. Contact us today to learn more about your options. We cover a wide area of Minnesota including Burnsville, Brooklyn Park, and Maple Grove.

It's finally time for UFC 225, fight fans. As the UFC descends upon the United Center in the Windy City, it brings with it a fight card chock-full of tried and true fighters. Arguably one of the best UFC cards in recent memory — Whittaker vs. Romero 2, Rafael Dos Anjos vs. Clay Covington (with a side of Joe Rogan), Holly Holm vs. Megan Anderson. This fight card starts with a bang and won't end until it finishes with one.
While we were supposed to see another championship fight, Romero failed to make weight, again thus relegating the fight to a non-title affair. UFC 225's main event features the rematch of 27-year-old middleweight champion, Robert Whittaker (20-4-0), versus the No. 1 middleweight contender, Yoel Romero (13-2-0). The two fought in July 2017 and the bout went the distance, with Whittaker winning by decision, although Romero had four successful takedowns. With the victory, Whittaker became the interim middleweight champion, and was named the undisputed champion after the title was vacated by Georges St-Pierre.
Romero won his last fight decidedly as he finished Luke Rockhold in Round 3 on Feb. 10th, a fight which was originally set to be the interim middleweight title bout. Unfortunately, Romero again missed weight, taking away any interim title opportunities. Apparently, his victory was enough to earn the rematch, as well as a chance at Whittaker's belt, and why not?
Whittaker, a winner of his last eight fights, last lost at UFC 170 in early 2014. He is an unconventional striker with incredible knockout power (50 percent of his wins coming by way of KO), lands significant strikes at a rate of 4.77 per minute, 1.71 more than Romero. Across the octagon, Romero has earned 85 percent of his wins by way of KO or TKO, and 15 percent coming via submission. Punches will fly in this match.
The rematch had all the makings of a huge title fight: A rematch after a five-round unanimous decision (which also won Fight of the Night honors); the champ versus the No. 1 contender, who had won eight in a row before being defeated by Whittaker in the first fight, with his prior loss back in 2011.
To say Romero is hungry would be selling him short, although this became easier to laugh at after he missed weight twice. Too much In-N-Out once he got here. Can you blame him? Meanwhile, Whittaker's title defense will have to wait for another day. Obviously, with Romero missing weight, it changes the landscape. His weight was cut rather intensely, and — according to sources — Romero even had to be helped onto the elevator after the weigh-in.
How much does that take out of a fighter? This much apparently…
But the fun doesn't stop there! UFC 225's co-main event features the No. 1 welterweight contender Rafael Dos Anjos (28-9-0) taking on the division's No. 4 contender in Colby Covington (13-1-0).
This one is already off to weird start. Recently, multiple sources have reported bantering back and forth between Covington and UFC announcer Joe Rogan. MMA Mania transcribed a recent interview with Covington on BJPenn.com Radio, "His little mouth was trying to run and say things when he shouldn't have an opinion," Covington said. "You've never been in an Octagon, you don't have any experience fighting. He thinks he has a say in everything and he's a biased announcer as it is."
Yikes, hopefully Covington hasn't gotten so far involved with Rogan that he is distracted from his actual opponent in Chicago, because Dos Anjos is no joke (and neither was Rogan's show, "Fear Factor," especially when they used scorpions and giant spiders). Dos Anjos has won his last three fights two by way of unanimous decision, and one by way of submission (vs. Neil Magny). He has also won 13 of his last 16. Even the UFC describes him as having "underrated power". That power, coupled with his Jiu-Jitsu background, will make for an interesting matchup against the wrestler in Covington.
The main card also showcases a women's featherweight matchup featuring the former champion Holly Holm (11-4-0) vs. Australian born Megan Anderson (8-2-0). Anderson, the 28-year-old Muay Thai fighter will be making her UFC Debut. Anderson's MMA career began in 2013 after a stint in the Australian army. She is the former Invicta FC Featherweight Champion and was slated to defend her title prior to being signed by the UFC.
Anderson has won her last four MMA fights by TKO so to say she is a dangerous striker would be a severe understatement. Holm has had an interesting run in the UFC to say the least. If memory serves, Holm dethroned the seemingly "unbeatable" Ronda Rousey with a Round 2 knockout, then lost the title in her next bout to Miesha Tate.
Holm then lost to Germaine de Randamie, followed by Cris Cyborg in title fights. Both went the distance, with Holm losing by unanimous decision. After losing four of her last five fights overall, there is no question Holly Holm is looking to bounce back and get on the path to the title.
As if that's not enough fight action for UFC fans in Chicago (hell, around the world), don't miss the early prelims, which features a light heavyweight matchup between Rashad Evans and Anthony Smith.
At 38, Evans is back in the octagon after his split decision loss to Sam Alvey in August of 2017. The interesting storyline here is Evans hasn't won in the UFC since he beat Chael Sonnen at UFC 167 back in November of 2013. Meanwhile, Smith — the Jiu-Jitsu practitioner — is no slouch and happens to be a very effective striker. Although he lost his last fight to Thiago Santos back in February, he won all three of his previous fights decisively, knocking out Elvis Mutapcic, Andrew Sanchez, and Hector Lombard.
We'll also be treated to a heavyweight bout between two of the division's top contenders. The number two ranked Alistair Overeem (43-16-0, 1NC) takes on fourth ranked Curtis Blaydes (9-1-0, 1NC).
A quick look into the UFC fighter profiles for these two paints a pretty clear picture as to what type of fight we can expect from this pair of 6-foot-4, 265-pound strikers. Words like "cardio, strength, aggression" for Blaydes, counteracted with "power, athleticism, experience, striking" on Overeem's side.
Overeem lost his last fight to Francis Ngannou in December of 2017 but won his two previous fights against the likes of Fabrico Werdum (majority decision) and Mark Hunt (knockout). Blaydes enters the octagon after winning his last three fights against Daniel Omielanczuk (unanimous decision), Aleksei Oleinik (TKO), and Mark Hunt (unanimous decision). It'll certainly be fun watching these two monsters tee-off on each-other.
UFC ratings and popularity is on the rise, and UFC 225 should not do anything but add to the excitement as it gears up for UFC 226 here in Las Vegas in early July, so — buckle up, UFC fans. Order some Metro Pizza, grab some suds from the nearest Lee's, and settle in for a fight card you may never forget.

Congratulations to Anthony and Stephanie who celebrated their love this past weekend at Lombardis on the Bay.
Anthony and Stephanie met at a mutual friend's party and it was clear from the start that they had a special connection. Stephanie feels that her late father hand picked Anthony from up above just for her. Ever since then, these two have been inseparable. Unless of course, that is if Anthony is scheduled to leave on deployment with the United States Air Force. He was scheduled to leave for tour the week after his wedding, but the day of the wedding, he got an amazing phone call that said he could stay. He has served 3 tours in the past and was very excited to be able to enjoy his honeymoon with his bride.
Stephanie is an amazing part of this partnership. She is the ying to his yang. She is full of life and works as a phlebotomist at St.Charles Hospital. She wore a gorgeous gown from Fantasia Bridal, located in Rocky Point, Ny.
Lisa Lisa was there as a dear friend of theirs and sang two songs to them during the reception. As a fan of 80's/90's music, I was very excited to witness that. It was an unbelievable night despite the rain and heavy fog. I wish this couple many years of love and happiness.


text: So after 'swatching' newly made 'Drakon Pitanios', I felt it would be a shame to immediately remove it as I do like it but hate plain nails. Therefore I had to add something to it to keep it on my fingers, and here's the result! Simple yet effective I think?

I flipped back through some of my fall posts this evening (which unfortunately didn't take very long), and noted that teaching seems to occupy the majority of my (meager) writing. This is appropriate, since it usually (excepting my closest friends) demands the majority of my hours and attention.
But, this fall (in addition to all-present teaching, and oh-so-many wedding) has also included a couple classes at CSUF, which are strangely absent from my blog posts. Both the classes I've been in are pre-requisites for Fullerton's credential program, which I am hoping to enter next fall.
So, this is all to say that, every other Monday night has seen me at 'Student Diversity' and Wednesdays witnesses 'Adolescent Development.' Both of these classes are firmly lower-division classes, which has been a bit of a shock after my last two years at Biola. The low level of expectations, as well as student effect has been disturbing, to say the least … although I've attempted to continue to remind myself that (1) the State has graciously offered to pay for my education for the time being, and (2) there is a reason that CSUF's teacher credential program (minus pre-reqs) is centered around student teaching.
I think we all realize that the idea that one could learn to teach by sitting in a chair listening to someone tell you about teaching is more than a little ridiculous. But, to give credit where credit is due, it's been very interesting to be studying the development and diversity of "adolescents" after spending all day with them.
And, it's another piece in the puzzle that will be my life's work, I hope.

Heather Chaplin is the author, most recently, of Reckless Years, A Diary of Love and Madness, published by Simon & Schuster in 2017. Reckless Years was her first foray into memoir. In addition to her career as a journalist, Chaplin's has essays have appeared in compilations and in publications such as The New York Times, The Cut, and Vogue, among other places.
Sometimes finding yourself isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Trapped in a dissatisfying marriage for almost a decade, New York journalist Heather Chaplin finally summons the courage to leave. On her own, she finds herself intoxicatingly free, pursuing adventure, and juggling romance on two continents in multiple cities. She contemplates the meaning of life, she falls for a handsome Irishman.
But as the adventure progresses, Chaplin's reckless choices send her spiraling downward—and toward a dark reckoning she's avoided all her life. Pulled from Chaplin's own diaries, Reckless Years is a raw, propulsive debut: unfailingly profound and impossible to put down.
Read an excerpt here.
Praise for Reckless Years
"Reckless Years is a hair-raising, lyrical, page-turning account of Heather Chaplin's ride into adulthood. It's also an instant classic."
bestselling author of Half a Life: A Memoir
"Shocking, searingly honest, brilliantly written. Reading this memoir is like being in a car speeding into an explosion and miraculously coming out on the other side."
New York Times best-selling author of Siracusa
"Reckless Years is a stunningly forensic account of the end of a marriage and its aftermath, which combines the honesty of memoir with the urgency of good fiction and a dry wit that, for all the darkness of the story, makes Chaplin a joy to spend time with."
author, She Left Me The Gun

On this year's World Malaria Day, April 25, the World Health Organization joins partner organizations in promoting the theme, "Ready to beat malaria". This theme underscores the collective energy and commitment of the global malaria community in uniting around the common goal of a world free of malaria.
For decades, the global response to malaria was considered one of the world's most significant public health achievements. The World Health Organization (WHO) reported time and again on the massive roll-out of effective disease-cutting tools, and on impressive reductions in cases and deaths.
Unfortunately, the most recent World Malaria Report 2017 reveals that progress in global malaria control and elimination has stalled.
Global figures
Last December 2016, the positive statistics seemed to flop. The data showed that less than half of countries with ongoing transmission were on track to reach critical targets for reductions in the death and disease caused by malaria. There were an estimated 216 million cases of malaria in 91 countries, up from 211 million cases in 2015. The estimated global tally of malaria deaths reached 445,000 in 2016 compared to 446,000 the previous year.
The current pace is definitely not enough to achieve the 2020 milestones of the WHO Global Technical Strategy for Malaria 2016–2030 – specifically, targets calling for a 40% reduction in malaria case incidence and death rates.
Some of the challenges blocking countries' abilities to stay on track and advance towards elimination include lack of sustainable and predictable international and domestic funding, risks posed by conflict in malaria endemic zones, and worsening climate patterns.
In 34 out of 41 high-burden countries, which rely mainly on external funding for malaria programmes, the average level of funding available per person at risk in the past 3 years (2014–2016) reduced when compared with 2011–2013. Exceptions were Democratic Republic of the Congo, Guinea, Mauritania, Mozambique, Niger, Pakistan, and Senegal, which recorded increases.
Among the 41 high-burden countries, overall, funding per person at risk of malaria remains below US$ 2. In many areas, access to the public health system remains low. National-level surveys in the African Region show that only about one third (34%) of children with a fever are taken to a medical provider in the public health sector.
Role of research
Considerable amount of awareness campaigns and advocacies exist for progress on malaria elimination, but there is also widespread recognition that such an ambitious effort will require a substantial research base. Therefore, it will be essential to engage the biomedical research community at multiple levels to address this major global health challenge. Malaria control, elimination, and eradication will require a multifaceted approach and extensive cooperation among the many organizations committed to this effort.
As we work toward the goal of malaria eradication, it will be important to develop new and existing techniques based on proven efficient practices. Freeing the masses of this global epidemic is a goal worth pursuing, and more than ever, we are strongly positioned to make progress toward that goal.

Real talk: having your period can be a little messy, but that doesn't mean it should mess with your relationship though, right?
If neither of you want to take a break from sex during those on average 5-7 days, then don't.
In fact, some sex and relationship experts believe having sex while one or both of you is menstruating can create a deeper level of trust between you and can encourage greater communication by putting you outside your usual comfort zone.
If you're keen, but you partner isn't exactly turned on by the thought of penetrative sex when there might be blood involved, it's important not to push them. By all means tell them you're open to the idea, but if it's about as appealing to them as a cold shower, respect their decision and find other ways to touch.
Stroking, caressing and kissing all release oxytocin, and doing it through clothes can be incredibly erotic (remember teenage dry humping?!)
Make it an exploration by focusing on erogenous zones that typically receive less attention, like the scalp, ears and stomach. Want to up the excitement? Consider introducing a toy like the Lovehoney USB Rechargeable Mini Massage Wand.
If you're both keen to get your kit off, taking a shower or bath together is oh-so-intimate. Plus, any messy period blood will be replaced by water which increases skin sensitivity, making you more receptive to touch.
Yes, getting wet is a great way to turn foreplay into full-play, especially if you add a waterproof vibrator.
The other option is mutual masturbation, a sexual encounter you shouldn't shy away from. Intimacy and vulnerability go hand-in-hand, and allowing your lover to watch you (and vice versa) requires relaxation and trust. It's also a window into your solo sex lives. Who knows, you might just pick up a few tips to try out on each other?
Just not up for getting physical when you're menstruating? No need to sweat the sex. Use the opportunity to talk, read aloud to one another, give each other massages and cuddles – all these bring you closer.

A grand jury in Brooklyn has voted not to indict a police officer in the death of a 16-year-old honors student who was shot in the head two months ago in Sheepshead Bay, District Attorney Charles J. Hynes announced yesterday.
The youth, Yong Xin Huang, was shot during a confrontation with the officer, Steven Mizrahi, in March after a neighbor reported that the boy and two friends were shooting a pellet gun.
Two autopsies, one by the New York City Medical Examiner's Office and another commissioned by the boy's family, showed that the teen-ager had been shot behind his left ear. His friends testified that he had his back to Officer Mizrahi and was not struggling when the officer's gun went off.
But Mr. Hynes said the grand jury concluded that Mr. Huang had the pellet gun in his hand and was struggling, face to face, with Officer Mizrahi when the officer's gun "accidentally discharged."
The boy's sister, Joyce Huang, 27, said yesterday that the family was shocked by the grand jury's decision.
"This is not the end," she said. "Our family is going to do everything to fight for justice for Yong Xin." The family's lawyer, Elizabeth Ouyang of the Asian-American Legal Defense Fund, said a lawsuit would be filed against the officer and the city.
Mr. Huang was with his friends at 9:30 A.M. March 24, shooting the authentic-looking pellet gun at trees and garbage cans from the driveway beside 2229 East 16th Street, when Officer Mizrahi arrived with his partner, Noel Waters. Officer Mizrahi, 33, has been on the force for seven years.
One of the friends, who spoke with a reporter the night after the shooting on condition of anonymity, said Mr. Huang did not resist. He said Mr. Huang -- who lived in Bushwick and attended Robert Wagner Junior High School in Manhattan -- immediately dropped the pellet gun. Still, the friend said, the officer smashed Mr. Huang, who was 5 feet 6 and weighed 100 pounds, against the storm door, shattering the glass.
"My friend was standing about a foot from me," the friend said. "He was facing the screen door. His back was toward the police. He couldn't move. It was just impossible to imagine that he even tried to move."
But in a written statement, Mr. Hynes said Officer Mizrahi testified that as he tried to pull Mr. Huang away from the door, "he saw what appeared to be a real gun in the youngster's right hand."
Officer Mizrahi testified, Mr. Hynes continued, that as he was standing "face to face" with Mr. Huang, he "used his left hand to try to wrestle the gun from the youth's right hand." Mr. Hynes said the officer testified that he "was pushed or lost his balance in the struggle and fell into a glass storm door, which broke."
After regaining his balance, Mr. Hynes said Officer Mizrahi testified, he "again tried to use his left hand to loosen Yong Xin Huang's grip on the gun and, at the same time, the officer had his right hand, with his gun pointed upward, on Yong Xin Huang's upper front left shoulder area."
"As Officer Mizrahi was holding the youth and trying to keep him from breaking away, the officer said that his gun accidentally discharged at close range," Mr. Hynes said.
According to the medical examiner's report: "The scalp around the gunshot wound of entrance showed evidence of near-contact-range firing. The gunshot wound of entrance was situated in the head behind the left ear."
Mr. Hynes's statement went on to say that both autopsy reports "are consistent with Police Officer Mizrahi's account that he was facing the youth when his weapon discharged and are inconsistent with the accounts given by the friends of the deceased who said that Yong Xin Huang had his back to the police officer when he was shot."
But Ms. Ouyang, the family's lawyer, disputed the interpretation. "The entry is in the back of the head," she said. "I find it difficult to imagine, because of the proximity of the police officer to Yong Xin and the fact that Yong Xin's back was to the officer when the officer had secured him, that he would struggle."
Speaking for her family, Ms. Huang said: "We are very, very angry. We feel it is impossible. We want to know why the grand jury decided this way when two witnesses say Yong Xin did not struggle. We want to know if the D.A. did a good job. How could this be?"

Buy Local!
We recently made a commitment to buy locally grown food as often as possible. You are helping the hard working farmers, rather than the giant grocery stores who pay them next to nothing.
One thing we started doing again was going to the farmers markets in our area. We found out about locations on this website: http://cafarmersmkts.com/
Check for farmers markets in your own area. It's not just produce! We found all natural breads and locally made soap and skin care that I plan to try next time we go.
