Hello everyone,
I'm happy to be able to make a new post! Lately, I've been stuck with college classes and I haven't been able to do much else. I have a new camera now which I'm so excited about, (Canon Eos Rebel T5) which my father bought me for Christmas. I wasn't able to have it until I passed my driving test though, thanks dad! haha
Anyway, this means I'll have better quality pictures! I can't wait to learn a lot more about photography and editing. These photos are just a few practice shots with my camera, without any editing.
Hope you all are having a great week! Talk to you soon.

Washington Mutual (NYSE: WM) had a growing dividend yield of 3.9% back at the beginning of 2000. Over the previous five years, the bank had demonstrated a commitment to rewarding shareholders by just about doubling its dividend.
That commitment has continued. The dividend has increased another 224% since 2000. If you had bought shares that day, you would be sitting on an effective 12.7% yield.
That's right … 12.7%!
Cigarette maker Reynolds American (NYSE: RAI), mining company Southern Copper (NYSE: PCU), banking giant Bank of America (NYSE: BAC), and coal and natural gas concern Penn Virginia Resource Partners (NYSE: PVR) all are triple-play companies. They all have dividend yields higher than 4.5% and have grown operating earnings by 10% or better each of the past five years. They have also all at least doubled or nearly doubled both their dividends and stock price over the same time frame.

|Country of origin:
|Australia / USA
|George Miller
|Post-apocalyptic sci-fi
|Charlize Theron, Tom Hardy, Hugh Keays-Byrne, Nicholas Hoult
|IMDB link:
|The future belongs to the mad
|Favourite line:
|"My name is Max. My world is fire and blood. Once, I was a cop. A road warrior searching for a righteous cause. As the world fell, each of us in our own way was broken. It was hard to know who was more crazy... me... or everyone else."
Well now, that was intense.
The plot:
Max Rockatansky is a strange old bird.
A loner, drifting through a post-apocalyptic wasteland once called Australia, he finds himself captured by the ruler of the land, Immortal Joe.
Max's blood is sampled and, it turns out, his blood type is desirable, for he is a universal donor, so suitable for all - lucky for him as it keeps him alive.
After much mayhem, Max finds himself free and, whilst wandering the desert, dehydrated, half-mad, he encounters six delectable females, bathing themselves. Through fevered eyes he spies them and, as luscious as they are, it is the water that courses over their bodies that captivates him more, for the land in which they live is dry as dust.
Now introduced to their leader, Furiosa, he learns their tale; wives of Immortal Joe, Furiosa has helped them escape his tyranny and is leading them to the place where she grew up known only as The Green Place, a land of rare fertility in the barren wasteland.
With little option, Max and Furiosa become a team of sorts, their common enemy, Immortal Joe, and his wild, manic gang of War Boys hot on their trail.
Jesus suffering fuck, that was AWESOME.
Rarely do we find ourselves resorting to such invective, but there is no better way to express the sensations coursing through our bodies right now, mere moments after the movie has ended.
From the get-go, this is full-pelt, pell-mell, no holds barred, adrenaline soaked madness, handled with bravado and confidence by George 'I'm 70. No, really' Miller.
It is brilliant.
Effectively a chase movie, almost non-stop, in fact, save for a couple of scenes where it pauses to take a breath and to allow for a spot of the old character development, as well as to give the audience the opportunity to calm down, albeit briefly.
Tom Hardy, as Max himself, is an assured figure, holding the attention of the viewer by physical presence alone as, throughout the two hour runtime, if he says more than a hundred words, we would be surprised.
Charlize Theron is the main player here, in truth, her Furiosa both the catalyst for the main plot strand and the emotional heart of the piece, the latter encapsulated in one brief sequence where, bereft, she falls to her knees and screams at the sky, a sound so plaintive and desperate even the blackest of souls must surely feel a stirring.
Design-wise, you simply won't see anything more impressive this year, and probably not this decade, for the imagination on show is near implausible. Action sequences featuring skull-faced assassins on bendy metal poles raining down fire on War Rigs below; a character strapped to the front of a Rig, blind and deaf, though playing a guitar that spews fire; creatures roaming The Wasteland on stilts; vestigial limbed henchmen in nappies; and more than could ever be mentioned in such a brief overview, each scene is packed full of so…much….stuff we were almost out of breath just trying to keep up.
And there's shock-factor, too, Miller unflinching at times, putting things on screen that no Hollywood blockbuster would usually dare, unafraid to tackle the usual taboos of dead foetuses and matricide in a direct, head-on approach, unsettling the viewer, making us realise that no-one and nothing is off limits, here.
Literally, this could go anywhere is the message, and it is received loud and clear.
For fans of action movies, simply stop what you are doing right now. Go watch this film because, as The Raid did a few years ago with the martial arts genre, director Miller has just given an object lesson to everybody else in the business on exactly how to make an action film in the modern age, using a combination of physical and digital effects, choosing the appropriate tool for the appropriate task at the appropriate time.
Ladies and gentleman, at the age of 70 George Miller has just powned the young upstarts.
The bar for action movies has well and truly been raised.
Simply magnificent.

Creeeeaaaakkkkk. That sound is my brain struggling to get back into writing form. Not to make excuses, but volleyball, concerts and gorgeous spring weather have conspired to keep me outdoors and super busy. I celebrated my birthday last week with loads of special events: lunch with Bam, Papa and Mom; dinner at Eclipse di Luna; all day concert at Centennial Park with Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, Ludacris and Muse. Whew! Whirlwind!
Needless to say, I haven't done much sewing lately. Mostly just little UFO's. I finished another baby block and pieced one row of the Prince Charming blocks together. I finally completed the hand stitching for the Central Park quilt too! And cut and pieced the binding for the wild quilt top awaiting backing and binding at Little Quilts. (Photos below!) I also planned out a cross stitch sampler that I found online. Mom and I both got the kits and plan to do them together at the cabin. So, hmmm, maybe I've done more than I thought.
I'm hoping to sew more blocks tomorrow, but I got more birthday plans to prepare for (I celebrate for a good month). Going to Dante's with the fam! Can't wait! Bring on the fondue pots!
(I'm so obsessed with Dante's. It's really the coolest place opened by the most badass man's man ever. And I love his gators and crocs…Throckmorton…what a name!)

Strong storms sweep through South; 8 dead
Associated Press
Powerful storms swept across the South on Sunday after unleashing suspected tornadoes and flooding that killed at least eight people, injured dozens and flattened much of a Texas town. Three children were among the dead.
Nearly 90,000 customers were without electricity in Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Georgia as of midday Sunday, according to www.poweroutage.us as the severe weather left a trail of destruction.
Two children, ages 8 and 3, were killed on a back road in East Texas when a pine tree fell onto the car in which they were riding during a severe thunderstorm Saturday near Pollok, about 150 miles southeast of Dallas.
At least one person was killed and about two dozen others were injured after a suspected tornado struck the Caddo Mounds State Historic Site in East Texas during a Native American cultural event in Alto, about 130 miles southeast of Dallas.�
In neighboring Houston County, the sheriff's office said one person was killed in Weches, 6 miles southwest of Caddo Mound.
A tornado also flattened much of the south side of Franklin, Texas, overturning mobile homes and damaging other residences, Robertson County Sheriff Gerald Yezak said.
The weather service said preliminary information showed an EF-3 tornado touched down with winds of 140 mph.�It destroyed 55 homes, a church, four businesses, a duplex and part of the local housing authority building, authorities said. Two people were hospitalized for injuries that were not thought to be life-threatening, Yezak said. Some people had to be extricated from damaged dwellings.
Heavy rains and storms raked Mississippi into the night Saturday as the storms moved east.
Roy Ratliff, 95, died after a tree crashed onto his trailer in northeastern Mississippi, Monroe County Road Manager Sonny Clay said at a news conference, adding that a tornado had struck. Nineteen residents were taken to hospitals, including two in critical condition. A tornado was reported in the area 140�miles� southeast of Memphis, Tennessee, at the time.
The large storm system also caused flash floods in Louisiana, where two deaths were reported.�
Authorities said 13-year-old Sebastian Omar Martinez drowned in a drainage canal after flash flooding struck Bawcomville, near Monroe, said Deputy Glenn Springfield of the Ouachita Parish Sheriff's Department. Separately, one person died when a car was submerged in floodwaters in Calhoun, also near Monroe.

Has your financial advisor suggested a self directed IRA rollover because your setting up a self directed IRA?
IRA rollovers. It's enough to get anyone to sleep.
If you're setting up a self directed IRA chances are you'll need to do a self directed IRA rollover. It's not as hard as you'd think and there are some extremely good reasons to do a self directed IRA rollover.
Lets say you have a tax deferred employer's retirement plan. Then you get another job, so you've got another employer, so you have another employer retirement plan. And so on. And do you trust your employers fund to invest for the absolute returns for your retirement?
You need a self directed IRA and you need to rollover each of your employer funds into your new self managed IRA.
You see you can't just withdraw the funds in your employer plan and deposit them into your new IRA, because in your employer plan those funds are tax deferred. You need to protect the tax advantaged status of your investment funds, and by doing a proper rollover into your self managed IRA you protect those tax deferred funds from attracting tax.
There are a number of advantages of having our own self managed IRA. Firstly it should give you a much wider range of investment options than traditional IRAs or employer retirement plans. Many traditional IRA custodians allow only a limited range of investments, and often direct those investments to their own products instead of other investments that may pay much better.
For example real estate investments. With your own self managed IRA you should be allowed to invest your retirement funds in real estate. That's most unlikely with a traditional IRA with a traditional custodian like a bank, say. You have far more control over your own funds, and distributions, and investing options.
So you need to consider carefully how you plan to invest for your retirement and select the best vehicle to do so. A self directed IRA is the best vehicle to invest wisely for the long term, to provide yourself with a solid pension and comfortable retirement in your later years.
And make sure you invest your IRA in real estate. That's the single best investment of all, for an IRA or for that matter any other investment. Even in todays hard times there are some fantastic IRA real estate investment opportunities.

Today was my first really rough day. I learned my lesson the hard way about drinking all my water. I was so nauseous today. All day long. I'm supposed to drink 64 oz of water a day. That was nothing "back in the day" but now that I can only sip...not such an easy task. Plus, I can't drink for 9o minutes after I eat (think of it like a funnel, all the water would go in first, causing me to want to get rid of my food). I've also been having a hard time swallowing my pills since I can't just take a big ol' swig. If you know me, I'm the girl who took 2 or 3 ibruprofen without any water so this is killing me. I'm really surprised that I haven't had the urge to eat "bad stuff." Emma's on a popcorn kick lately so she wants that as her before bed snack. Smelling it has honestly been enough for me, and that makes me feel SO good. I was really worried about just wanting to eat to eat. That was how I was before. It was a habit just like smoking was for me. I'm glad that so far, it's been pretty easy. I'm sure once I start eating more "real" food it'll get harder but for now...I'm counting my many blessings. OH, did I mention...I'm down 14 lbs already! 9 from my pre op diet and then 5 since Monday! That so excites me. Maybe once I start really working out more that'll help even more!
So, Madelyn is cutting another tooth, and she SUCKS! She just whines. She's not bad per say, but the whining is non.stop. I just hope it pops through soon. I feel bad because Darik has to deal with her still even though I know I shouldn't, but after working all day, that's gotta suck.
Emma was SO much better today than yesterday. This 3 year old crap is tough. I always thought 2 was supposed to be bad. Lemme tell ya 2 was a piece of cake, it's 3 that sucks! She's 3 going on 13, she's SO mouthy some days but then the next she's as sweet as pie. Ahhh, the joys of raising two girls.
Totally off topic but the girls were SO cute tonight. Every night we have to sit on Emma's bed to watch "The Good Night Show" with her. So tonight was no different. Darik was finishing up giving Mads her bath and Emma and I were in her room watching tv. Darik brought Mads out here and she was just whining and whining. Finally I couldn't take it anymore and told him to bring her in there. She's figured out if she jumps on her butt she can jump on Emma's bed. They sat and bounced for 20 minutes and giggled the whole time! I just love that Emma totally adores her and Madelyn feels the same way. I PRAY that it stays this way. Emma is constantly hugging her saying, "I love my baby sissy" and Madelyn is always so happy if Emma even comes near her. The fact that Emma is such a lover in general helps I'm sure, but Madelyn is not as affectionate, but she sure is with Emma. So cute!
Well, I think I'm off for the night. I've had enough and Darik's getting out of the shower.

Recent study says sauna use can reduce the risk of dementia!
July 11, 2017 – There is new hope for those suffering from dementia. A study published recently by the University of Eastern Finland reports encouraging news regarding sauna use and dementia.
Researchers examined over 20 years of records for men in good health aged 42-60 years. Among the data collected were blood pressure, body mass, age, and alcohol consumption. It turns out that sauna sessions made a big difference. Those men who spent 15 minutes in a sauna at least four times per week had a significantly lower risk factor for developing dementia (66% lower risk) and Alzheimer's disease (65% decrease in risk).
In the U.S. more and more folks are starting to realize the benefits of sauna including better sleep, relief from stress, healthier skin, and an improvement in the body's immune functions. And now, with the knowledge that sauna use may help to decrease incidents of Alzheimer's and dementia, it makes more sense than ever to include a daily sauna session as part of your plan to lead a healthier life.
At Olympic Hot Tub, we carry Finnleo Saunas, one of the world's top selling brands. And we feel lucky to do so. Finnleo Saunas have a history in Finland going back over 90 years. And with the knowledge acquired over all those years, they've become experts at crafting a sauna environment perfectly suited for in-home use. (They also do an extraordinary job creating magnificent commercial saunas for everything from pro sports teams, to hotels and gyms, and beyond!)
Are you ready to live a healthier life this year and beyond? Think about adding a Finnleo infrared or traditional steam sauna to your home. Our complete line of traditional saunas includes the Hallmark Series that are portable and set up easily. (The smallest unit only requires a standard household outlet to operate). You'll be surprised at how quickly you could be enjoying all the benefits of regular sauna use.
To take the first step check our entire line of Finnleo Saunas today. The next step could be a healthier happier you!

It's been eight years since Mountain Man's excellent debut Made The Harbor. Today, the Vermont trio — comprising Amelia Meath of Sylvan Esso, Alexandra Sauser-Monnig, and Molly Sarlé — announce the forthcoming follow-up album, Magic Ship, along with three new songs.
The album's opening track "Window" is 55 seconds of bare-bones, solo a cappella. "Rang Tang Ring Toon" is like a lilting campfire song. "Stella" is rich in its simplicity. "We all have this secret access to each other's feelings, whether or not we're singing. That is what creates the alchemy when we are singing together," Sarlé says in a statement.
These songs are from our new album "Magic Ship".

The Arduino UNO R3 is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328. It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button. It contains everything needed to support the microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable or power it with a AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started. Arduino UNO differs from all preceding boards because it does not use the FTDI USB-to-serial driver chip.
Additional features coming with the REV3 version are:

I had this recipe up on my blog a LOONG time ago when I was posting recipes that I wanted to try. When that proved impossible to keep track of, I switched to posting only food that I made or ate (soo much more manageable). I FINALLY got around to making this dish that I had tucked away on my wishlist. You can see my original post below with the complete recipe! I'll add some edits that I made to the recipe (there were not many).
It's been a while! Life and laziness has gotten in the way of blogging, but it never stops the thoughts of food. Anyway, I realize that I'm drawn to Martha Stewart's recipes…so what. I'm also a HUGE fan of one pot/pan meals since making separate side dishes and an entree is not my strong suit. Also, I find working with ground meat/sausage meat is so much easier and faster (less time for the delicious food to cook and get into my face). Here is something that seems quick and painless!
Serves 4 | Prep time: 25 minutes | Total time: 45 minutes
What you need
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 white onion, thinly sliced
- 1 pound sweet Italian sausage, casings removed (I'M SO EXCITED! I WAS SO EXCITED! I used half a pound of sweet Italian sausage and half a pound of hot Italian sausage…because I like it spicy.)
- 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 3/4 cup marinated artichoke hearts, coarsely chopped (I got a big jar of these from Costco.)
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 1 tube (18 ounces) prepared polenta, cut into 1/4-inch rounds (One day I will try and make my own polenta – SO COOL! It is so great to see how my confidence in the Kitchen has grown! I made my own Polenta when I made this dish!)
- 1/3 cup chicken stock
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley (optional), coarsely chopped
What do you do now?
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Add onion and cook until softened, 5 minutes.
- Add sausage and cook, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, until browned, 8 minutes.
- Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds.
- Remove skillet from heat and stir in artichokes; season with salt and pepper.
- In a 2-quart baking dish, layer polenta rounds and spoonfuls of sausage mixture. Pour stock over top and bake until bubbling and polenta is pale golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
…I wonder if it would be exponentially better if you added CHEESE :d yum. I added cheese in the polenta and it was awesome.
- I put some notes into the recipe already, but I realized that I made the polenta on my own! I used the polenta recipe from the Pork Ragu and Creamy Polenta Recipe
- When the polenta is cooked in the pot, pour it into a baking sheet and even it out. Let it cool and you will get polenta cakes! I cut them into squares, but can cut them into circles like Martha Stewarts recipe

"Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off"
Genre: County
What a terrible disorder, fancy tequila making your clothes fall off. really?
Joe Nichols took the roundabout way to country success, scoring his first major hit six years after landing his initial record deal. A native of Rogers, AR, Nichols grew up watching his father play bass in a local country band. He himself played in a rock band during his teenage years but soon came back to country and after high school took a night job as a DJ while supporting himself as a mechanic by day. He met producer Randy Edwards at the latter job, and under Edwards' guidance, he performed regularly and worked on his songwriting. He landed a record deal with Intersound and released his self-titled debut in 1996, naturally with Edwards producing. The single "Six of One, Half a Dozen (Of the Other)" was a minor hit, but the album didn't sell particularly well. It did manage to earn Nichols a shot with Warner Brothers, but a series of label mergers left him out in the cold, and he worked a series of day jobs around Nashville while looking for a new deal."
"Brokenheartsville," became his first number one country hit in early 2003, and it helped send the album into the country Top Ten. The accolades were suddenly flying fast and furious. The Academy of Country Music named Nichols its Top New Male Vocalist, he garnered three Grammy nominations, and Billboard declared "The Impossible the tenth most-played song in 2003. Nichols and his band toured with Alan Jackson through August of that year, and saw the single "She Only Smokes When She Drinks" enjoy similar success at country radio. In September, the buzz around Nichols continued with a nomination from the Country Music Awards for its Horizon New Artist Award. "

Councils: Force broadband providers to open up address-level speed data
Consumers should be able to easily compare what broadband speeds they can get at their property, councils have said.
At the moment, it is only possible to see postcode-level estimates of 'up to' speeds that can vary significantly from what people actually receive.
The Local Government Association (LGA) wants broadband providers to open up their data so consumers can see a side-by-side comparison of exactly what speed can be achieved at their address.
The association, which represents more than 370 councils in England and Wales, says Ofcom should have the power to request address-level data.
Councils also want comparison websites to have access to live data on household speeds so consumers can make more accurate comparisons.
The Digital Economy Bill, which is having its second reading in the House of Commons today, includes new 'information collection powers' for Ofcom that will cover customer experience data as well as broadband line speeds.
The Bill will also give everyone in the UK the legal right to fast broadband and proposes automatic compensation for customers when things go wrong.
The LGA has previously called for the minimum broadband speed target set by the government to be flexible and for a change in the rules that allow providers to advertise 'up to' download speeds.
In order advertise an 'up to' speed, providers only need to prove that 10% of their customers can achieve it.
The association said these speeds don't reflect the experience of many users, especially those in rural areas.
'Informed choices'
Councillor Mark Hawthorne, chairman of the LGA's People and Places board, said: "The quality of digital connectivity can be markedly different from area to area with some households being able to access superfast broadband speeds whilst others can only achieve substantially less.
"We support the government's aims to allow Ofcom to demand providers open up their premises-level data on broadband so that residents can more easily compare who will provide the best service to their home – not just their postcode, which can often be inaccurate.
"Our residents can only make the most informed choices if they have all the data at their fingertips in one place."
Mark Collins, co-founder and director of strategy and public affairs at infrastructure provider CityFibre, said: "It must be remembered that all major consumer ISPs (internet service providers) except Virgin Media use the same digital infrastructure provided by BT Openreach.
"This means it is unlikely for those with slow speeds to be able to access much faster services without costly upgrades. It is only through digital infrastructure competition and ISPs selling services over pure fibre infrastructure that a step change in speeds will occur.
"We continue to believe that advertising guidelines could do much more to clarify the differences between gigabit capable pure fibre networks and the legacy copper-fibre hybrid networks we have become used to."

The Footprint Shiraz is a fruity red wine with fine aromas of cassis, violet blossoms and white pepper in the bouquet. On the palate, this red wine looks wonderfully soft and round with very balanced tannins. In the finish, spices and fruit echo very pleasantly. The wine line Footprint is intended to express what makes it a footprint - you have to be unique. Winemaker Mike Graham has therefore been looking for unique vineyards that offer the perfect conditions for the respective grape varieties.

Warren Buffett's Most Dangerous Advice
"Rule #1: Never lose money. Rule #2: Never forget rule #1." -Warren Buffett
Warren Buffett's "Rule #1 and #2" hold special appeal to many investors. They seem to sum up so much good advice in just 11 words. And from a philosophical standpoint they do. But from a practical sense they can cause investors to set such a high bar for making investments that they are unable to fully invest their savings and end up not reaching their financial goals.
What Buffett's rules help with is avoiding "sins of commission". These are the mistakes we make when we take an action that goes wrong. Buying a stock that loses money is a sin of commission. Outside of investing, asking someone on a date who says no and leads you to be embarrassed is a sin of commission.
But "sins of omission" can be just as painful. Not investing in a great stock because it wasn't perfect or because you were too busy learning every last detail of the stocks you already owned to find time to work on new ideas are sins of omission. So is not getting up the nerve to ask that attractive someone out on a date.
There is a sort of wicked tension between avoiding sins of commission and sins of omission when it comes to investing. Every smart and successful investor wishes they knew just a little bit more about the companies in their portfolio. On the other hand every smart and successful investor works hard to allocate more time to researching new ideas.
The problem with Buffett's advice is that it ignores this tension and focuses investors exclusively on avoiding sins of commission.
In a recent post, Ben Carlson looked at how investors who stayed out of the market in the wake of the financial crisis now must achieve massive gains just to get back to zero. For all the times that you've heard about how you need to double your money to get back to even if you take a 50% losses, no one ever talks about the reverse. Similarly, in this 2014 presentation Robert Vinall looks at the dangers of Sins of Omission.
But Warren Buffett is a funny guy. While he's a fountain of wisdom, many of his quotes are contradictory. While his "Rule #1 and #2" quote is one of his most famous, here is Buffett talking about his biggest mistakes at the 2004 Berkshire Hathaway shareholder meeting (according to notes taken by Whitney Tilson):
"The main mistakes we've made – some of them big time – are: 1) Ones when we didn't invest at all, even when we understood it was cheap; and 2) Starting in on an investment and not maximizing it… We're more likely to make mistakes of omission, not commission."
So Rule #1 is "don't make sins of commission" and yet Buffett admits it is sins of omission that have been his biggest mistakes. How do we reconcile this contradiction?
Warren Buffett is way to complex and sophisticated of a thinker to be summed up in a sound bite. But that's what people have done with the Rule #1 and #2 quote. Life would be so easy if we could act on the basis of simplistic soundbites. But life, and investing, is far more complex. Yes, when investing we should always seek to protect our capital and be sure to focus on downside risks as much as upside potential. But also, we should recognize that not investing can be just as big of a mistake as making a bad investment. The issue for investors is not to try to avoid any and all mistakes. The goal is to compound your capital as much as possible over the long-term. Doing this well requires taking risks that might cause you to lose money, in direct violation of Buffett's Rules. But it also requires protecting your capital and paying attention to the risk of loss as much as you pay attention to the opportunity for gains.
It is where Never Lose Money meets Mistakes of Omission that we find the interesting frictions and incongruities that lay at the center of successful investing.
The soundbite of the Rule #1 quote is, quite literally, a danger to reaching your long term investment goals. But in practice, Buffett has figured out how to reconcile the two opposing concepts of not losing money while also not being too afraid to act even in the face of uncertainty. It is this ability to reconcile opposing ideas that stands at the center of Buffett's brilliance.
"The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function." -F. Scott Fitzgerald

MONTGOMERY: The Foundation for Moral Law, an Alabama legal foundation dedicated to the strict interpretation of the Constitution according to the Framers' intent and to religious liberty, hailed the U.S. Supreme Court's Little Sisters of the Poor v. Burwell decision as an opportunity to work out a solution that protects the religious liberty of the Little Sisters and others similarly situated.
The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) required certain employers to provide contraception and abortion coverage for their employees. Some organizations with religious objections were given the option of opting out in favor of a third-party provider, but the Little Sisters object that this still violates their convictions because their act of opting out triggered the alternate coverage. With the passing of Justice Scalia, many expected the Court to split 4-4 on this issue.
Monday's per curiam 8-0 decision left the basic issues undecided, vacated lower court decisions, and remanded the case to the lower courts to determine whether a compromise is possible whereby alternate coverage could be provided in a way that did not violate the Little Sisters' convictions.
Foundation President Kayla Moore said, "We are relieved that the Little Sisters will no longer be subjected to exorbitant fines for being true to their convictions. We hope a solution can be found, but we urge the Little Sisters to stand firm and not compromise their fundamental religious liberty."
Foundation Senior Counsel John Eidsmoe noted that the Foundation had submitted an amicus brief in the case, and "we remain very interested in the outcome. But if the Little Sisters are successful, this will mean only that a small segment of the public is exempted from these onerous provisions. To protect all Americans from socialized medicine, the entire Affordable Care Act needs to be either repealed by Congress or invalidated by the Court."

PATRAS, Greece – Insulation and paper clung to the rafters of the former factory like clothes drying on a line. On the concrete floor, shards of glass were mixed with piles of trash. Old desks held overused pots and gritty pans while filing cabinets stored clothes. Long-forgotten cisterns, a plastic bucket and a rope provided somewhat fresh water.
Names and dates scribbled in Arabic on off-white walls offered an abridged history of the location. In English, one refugee wrote encouragement: "We are here. We can build our land with our insist[ence]; we can rise up our land together."
IMB photo by Raymon Salinas
Light streams into an abandoned factory as Sudanese men describe their living conditions in Patras, Greece
For the men who call this place home, such hope now rings hollow.
Here, just feet from a lively port, more than one hundred Sudanese men live in abject poverty. Next door, another abandoned facility is home to Afghan migrants.
Patras is sometimes called the Gateway to Western Europe. But for hundreds of refugees already here, it's a nightmare. They live in an intermediate state – a purgatory with no clear means of escape or end. They had hoped to travel to Italy by boat or ferry, but catching a ride underneath a semi is their current option, and next to impossible. They are usually caught by police and told to go back to where they live.
"We don't have a place to live," is their usual reply, they said.
They are ignored and neglected in Europe.
"We didn't know Europe was like this," Ibrahim* said. He motioned to a makeshift bed on the floor: "Look where we sleep!"
His friend Abed* agreed. "If I knew it was like this, I wouldn't come," he said.

"Sometimes we try to go inside the city to look for a job, but people run away from us because of fear," Abed said. "We don't know why. We don't know how we stay here."
All of them said they hope to find better opportunities elsewhere in Europe. If that's not an option, many of them simply want to return home – to Khartoum or to the Darfur refugee camps.
For others seeking to enter the continent, they have a message: "We tell them that nobody should try to come to Europe," Ibrahim said. "It's bad. It's too bad."
But many aren't getting Ibrahim's message. Hundreds of thousands still see Europe as their refuge. According to the United Nations refugee agency, UNHCR, in the first half of 2014, the number of refugees seeking asylum in southern Europe was up 73 percent from the previous year. And numbers continue to grow, especially from the Middle East and Africa.
With the surge of refugees entering Europe's borders, employment, government assistance and aid programs are struggling to keep up with increased demands.
"A sharp increase in refugees arriving on Greece's Aegean islands is pushing an already faltering reception system to [the] breaking point," reported Amnesty International.
Josh Rivers,* a Christian worker in West Africa, says aspiring refugees from his area "are willing to risk their lives on wandering boats hoping to reach Europe and find a job that will propel them forward. They often don't hear the real stories about no work, living in a small room with 11 other guys and running from the cops every time they get near."
To Rivers, the desire to get to Europe has become an idol for many African men. "The younger generation considers Europe their only hope," he said. "These young men are looking for something to fill the void in their lives. They are looking for fulfillment in life; something more than what has been handed down from generation to generation. The appeal of success seems to be the obvious answer to them."

Refugees create makeshift cooking areas like this one in their abandoned factory home in Patras, Greece.
But Rivers is working to free people from their search for material gain in Europe by replacing their misguided hopes with the truth of the gospel.
He said, "Matthew 6:24 is a passage of scripture we share a lot with the young men in West Africa. When our minds are set on money, it quickly becomes our god. In the end it is not a god of love or one that is concerned with you. It is a god that leads to conflict, strife and murder. But Christ came to give life abundant, and it is given through His love, which [led Him to] give His life for all."
Along with speaking the gospel, Rivers says believers must live in the power and the hope of the gospel.
"Certainly the greatest asset we have in reaching them is Christ in us. The joy in life, the hope He provides is evident to these young men as we spend time with them. So the light in our lives is key," he said.
Rivers says West Africa has a great need for more of Jesus' disciples in their 20s.
"In many parts of West Africa, 70 percent of the population is age 29 or less," he said. "I would say that age-mates have been a key component in reaching these young men. Having college-age students out for months at a time through Face2Face, Hands On and Journeymen programs gives them significant time to connect with these young men and share the message of hope in Christ. … These programs are geared for those 20-somethings who are ready to give a season of their life to sharing the message of truth to those who live daily without hope."

Will Smith slams Donald Trump and Islamophobia during Dubai press stop
If there were any doubts about how Will Smith was planning to vote in the upcoming election, his recent comments should put them to rest.
The "Suicide Squad" star offered some harsh words for GOP nominee Donald Trump during a press stop in Dubai on Sunday.
"As painful as it is to hear Donald Trump talk and as embarrassing as it is as an American to hear him talk, I think it's good," Smith said. "We get to know who people are and now we get to cleanse it out of our country."
Smith also addressed a rising trend of Islamophobia in the U.S., which he says is what inspired him to attend the Dubai press events promoting his new DC Comics film.
"The Middle East can't allow Fox News to be the arbiter of the imagery, you know," he said. "Cinema is a huge way to be able to deliver the truth of the soul of a place to a global audience."

The UAE Immigrant Investor Program is for overseas investors who are looking for an investor friendly program in a foreign land. UAE has appealed to rich and high net worth entrepreneurs from several years for real estate and business.
Residence visa can be obtained by overseas investors through the UAE Immigrant Investor Program. For this, they can set up a business or purchase real estate property in Dubai or other cities of UAE.
The investor visa of the United Arab Emirates offers provisional residence to the investors. It lasts for a period of 3 years, as quoted by the Investor visa AE. This visa authorizes the holder to work and live in the UAE. They are required to abide by all the laws in the UAE as well as a code of conduct during the entire period of residency.
20,000AED or 10,000AED must be deposited by the overseas investor to qualify for the investor visa with the government of UAE.

Jennifer Brewin specializes in the creation and development of new work, with an emphasis on large-scale, outdoor performance. She has created new plays for British Columbia's Caravan Farm Theatre, the National Arts Centre English Theatre in collaboration with Ottawa's Experimental Farm, Toronto's Evergreen Brick Works, and at the Canadian National Memorial in Vimy, France, to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge.
Jennifer has directed premiers of works by Martha Ross, Haley McGee, Natasha Greenblatt, Martin Julien, Colin Heath, Sean Dixon and Michele Riml. She has directed at theatres across Canada, including the NAC English Theatre, Great Canadian Theatre Company, Prairie Theatre Exchange, Green Thumb Theatre, Thousand Islands Playhouse, and Festival Players.
She co authored and directed a number of collective creations including, The Public Servant (Theatre Columbus/GCTC), A Night in the Woods (Caravan Farm Theatre), The Great Frost of 1608 (with Peter Hinton/National Arts Centre) and The Attic, The Pearls and Three Fine Girls (Theatre Columbus).
She is a multi-award winning artist, receiving a Jesse Richardson Award (direction), a Dora Award (direction), a Harold Award, and the Armstrong Award of Excellence (with colleague Estelle Shook) in recognition of the Caravan Farm Theatre's outstanding contribution to its community. She was Co-Artistic Director of the Caravan Farm Theatre and associate artist at the NAC.
Jennifer's statement of intent
"I aspire to create performances that live — as Jonathon Lynn writes — "on the thin line between order and chaos." I direct primarily new work and facilitate collectively created scripts. Many are large productions performed in unusual places.
I aim to create an environment that frees people to bravely investigate how we behave as a society. I seek a form and a forum where high art and comedy can fuel important and relevant discussions about our lives. I am interested in the place where the state and the individual meet and collide, where the big picture of existence intersects with the smaller pictures of everyday life. I seek work that is populated with everyday characters — the deeply average person who for a moment accidentally trips into public view.
The social and physical landscape of the working environment informs my work in terms of theme and aesthetic. When the creative process begins, I head to the territory where human dilemmas ferment — borrowing from the dramaturgy of chaos, doubt and desire, traveling from disorder to balance and back again.
My practice has been influenced by a constellation of artists and institutions: Peter Hinton, Leah Cherniak, George F. Walker; The National Arts Centre, The Caravan Farm Theatre, Green Thumb Theatre, Theatre Columbus.
I chose to continue my artistic practice with Common Boots Theatre because working collaboratively is mandated with the expectation that the work be disciplined, funny and unique.
I am driven to show off this country's unbelievable theatrical talent to the public; and to be part of those theatrical events that show off the best of what we are in community. I am committed to the next generation of theatre artists by providing opportunities to create and develop alongside us, challenging our work to be better and stronger than before. I encourage the voice of women in artistic leadership."

Case study for At the T.Rowe Price Trading Desk"
Questions for the T. Rowe Price Trading Desk Case
1. What were all of the factors that made the sale of Avantek stock a difficult order to execute?
2. How does offering to pair the sale of Avantek with a purchase of Tandem shares help T. Rowe? Why might the pairing the Tandem trade with the Avantek trade be appealing to Goldman?
3. Would you accept the terms offered by Goldman? Why or why not?
4. Did Greg make any clear mistakes in shopping this sell order in Avantek?
5. How would you estimate T. Roweas trading costs for these potential trades? While I know the data is not perfect, use what you can to try to estimate some trading costs.
6. The T. Rowe trades with Goldman are in red type. Can you infer whether Goldman was involved in any other specific trades during the day? Given the other quotes in the case and the trade prices listed below that occurred just before and then after the T. Rowe trades, how well did Goldman do on these two trades?
7. Given our current market structure/environment/technology, how might Greg approach filling these orders today?

BEAUFORT – A Hilton Head Island High School student has been announced as the winner of a prestigious National Merit Scholarship.
Vinit Krishna is among only 2,500 high school seniors nationwide who will receive a $2,500 National Merit Scholarship for college study. About 1.6 million juniors in 22,000 high schools entered the National Merit Scholarship competition when they took the 2015 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, which served as an initial screening of program entrants. About 15,000 students were named last fall as semifinalists, representing less than 1 percent of the nation's seniors.
"The National Merit Scholarship is one of the most prestigious honors that a high school student can receive on the national stage," said Superintendent Jeff Moss. "Our entire community of proud of Vinit, and we wish him the best."
Krishna was an Advanced Placement Scholar with Honor and a winner of the Harvard Book Award. He plays violin and serves as concertmaster for the school orchestra as well as the ARCO community youth orchestra. He will attend Duke University to study neuroscience.
National Merit Scholars are selected by a committee of college admissions officers and high school counselors who appraise a substantial amount of information submitted by the finalists and their high schools: their academic record, including difficulty level of subjects studied and grades earned; scores from two standardized tests; contributions and leadership in school and community activities; an essay written by the finalist; and a recommendation written by a high school official.
The National Merit Scholarship Corp. is a nonprofit that operates without government assistance and was founded in 1955 specifically to conduct the National Merit Scholarship Program. The majority of scholarships offered each year are underwritten by approximately 420 independent corporate and college sponsors.

AMD counters Intel's 8086K sweepstakes countered by Threadripper "trade" offer
Want to trade in your 6-core for an 16-core?
Published: 18th June 2018 | Source: AMD "Threadripper Exchange" Sweepstakes |
AMD counters Intel's 8086K sweepstakes countered by Threadripper "trade" offer
During this announcement, Intel confirmed that they would be holding a sweepstakes event, where 8,086 i7-8086K processors would be given to Intel users worldwide. This sweepstake started on June 7th and ended 24 hours later. Intel is set to inform the winners of this sweepstakes within the next few days.
To counter this event, AMD are reminding the world that while Intel has been a major innovator in the x86 CPU marker for the past 40 years, AMD is now willing to take up the reigns of technological innovation, offering 40 US winners of Intel's Sweepstake the chance to trade in their i7-8086K in for a Threadripper 1950X, the world's first consumer-grade 16-core processor.
AMD is going all out to steal Intel's thunder, reminding the world that they are back in the game and have shaken up the industry in ways that we have not seen for over a decade. Perhaps this is a round-about way to get a few i7-8086K CPUs into AMD's hands, though it is undeniable that this is a ballsy move from the CPU maker.
Our competitor recently kicked off a sweepstakes to celebrate the first 40 years of the x86 processor by giving away 8,086 limited edition processors.
We appreciate the advancements they've helped drive with the x86 architecture over the last four decades. But, we're ready to take it from here. That's why we're giving 40 performance-hungry enthusiasts in the U.S. an opportunity to celebrate the next 40 years of high-performance computing by trading in their commemorative processor prize for our CPU that enables you to work, play and create with heavy metal.
The first 40 U.S.-based winners of the Intel® 8th Gen Core i7-8086k Limited Edition Sweepstakes (which opened on June 7, 2018 and closed on June 8, 2018) ("Competitor Sweepstakes") to complete certain steps will be offered the opportunity to exchange their new, in-box prize processor for a flagship 16-core AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ 1950X processor built for the gamers and creators who need a processor that can do it all. Those steps will be communicated on this webpage on June 25 at 1:00:00 PM EDT. Check back on June 25 at 1:00:00 PM EDT for complete details on how to participate.
There are more than a few reasons why winners of the Intel competition would want to take up AMD on their offer, as AMD's processor offers users a total of 16 cores and 32 threads, 10 cores more than Intel's i7-8086K. AMD's processor also provides users more PCIe lanes for device connectivity, making AMD's Threadripper processor ideal for a powerful workstation.
You can learn more about AMD's Threadripper Exchange counter sweepstakes here. This "sweepstake exchange" is only available to winners of Intel's sweepstakes in the US.
You can join the discussion on AMD's Threadripper "trade" counter 8086K sweepstakes on the OC3D Forums.
Most Recent Comments
Reality is, most buying an 8086k are not going to want the threadripper as it's slightly slower than a normal AM4 part if used solely for gaming.Quote

Dear Families and Friends,
Welcome to Mary Castle Elementary School! We are excited about the many opportunities that lie ahead for our students, faculty, staff, parents, and community for the upcoming school year and beyond.
Mary Castle Elementary is a School of International Studies, in which students learn about international cultures and becoming familiar with the world around them, both local and global. We hope that you sense Mary Castle's rich diversity the moment you walk through the door. From the authentic Terracotta Warrior statue, student made artwork, or the sounds of students collaborating on a daily basis; we hope you will sense community through collaboration and understanding of various cultural backgrounds. We want our students to be globally conscious and that occurs through Connecting Our Multiple Perspectives Across School and Society (COMPASS).
Mary Castle Elementary was selected to be a Marzano Demonstration School in 2017 in our work of learning and implementing best practices and systems under framework led by Dr. Robert Marzano. We are now in year three of implementation and working with Learning Sciences Institute to lower the variance in students reaching the standards and achieving rigor. We have seen major instructional shifts that have aided in maintaining and enhancing student achievement for all. We have learned to incorporate strategies into teaching and learning so students produce skills such as communication, critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, teamwork, initiative, planning, self-management and innovation as these are just a few qualities needed to be successful in our current and future job market. Students have an opportunity to hone these skills during STEM (integration of Math and Science) and HUMANITIES (integration of Reading, Writing, and Social Studies). Through connecting content areas and integrating curriculum, students are able to:

Bella Hadid goes 'fully nude' in 100% sheer crop top
The supermodel was a vision in nude as she arrived at a fashion event in the South of France on Wednesday.
Bella Hadid wore a flesh-toned crop top with a matching skirt to the star-studded Dior dinner party in Cannes.
The evening was arranged in honour of the 72nd Cannes Film Festival, attracting celebs and fashion-types alike.
Earlier that day, the 22-year-old was kept busy at a photo shoot for the iconic French label Christian Dior, modelling looks on the grounds of a beautiful castle.
Throughout the day she updated her fans over Instagram, keeping them in the loop as she got ready for the black-tie bash later on in the evening.
Dressed head-to-toe in Dior, the outfit put her gym-toned physique on full display.
Her beige off-the-shoulder top was sheer, giving a sneak peek at the matching brassiere she'd worn underneath.
Embellished with ruffled pleats, the coffee-coloured skirt hugged her slender waist, before falling in gentle waves by her calves.
She added a bejewelled wristwatch as well as a chunky diamond ring to her left hand as a subtle touch of luxury.
Light brown stiletto heels completed the neutral ensemble.
With her hair swept up back in a messy bun and barely-there makeup, the Californian babe was the definition of natural beauty.
This isn't the first time Gigi Hadid's little sister has turned heads in Cannes – each year she ranks highly in the festival "Best Dressed" lists.
Her scarlet Alexandre Vauthier ballgown from 2016, which featured an outrageous thigh-slit, was a particularly memorable ensemble.
And last year she took things up a notch in a jaw-dropping backless gown by Elie Saab.
Other famous faces made it to the fashion 'do, including Hollywood actress Shailene Woodley, singer Ashlee Simpson and former First Lady of France Carla Bruni.

In Reply to: Well, guess reptiles are addicting.... posted by -ryan- on May 12, 2003 at 21:17:12:
hey dont worry wer theres a will theres away. I just convinced my mom to let me get my first beardie about 20 mins. ago. In fact I have 5 reptiles right now and have owned over 20. Show your parents their more docile side and tame and educational and easy maintenecenece. Dont get a ball python for a first mine all died out. But a corn is a good choice. Just a lil bit of words of wisdom. tito
:Now I want a snake really badly too. This is going to be much harder to convinve my parents though than the bearded dragon (who are normally cute and friendly). I see snakes as being cute, but I don't think my mom or dad really do. I would like a corn snake or kingsnake, maybe a ball python, but like I said, it is going to take a lot to try to convince my parents that snakes are good pets. I'll work on it and see what happens. I am going to take my mom to this nice petstore when I go to get crickets and show here some of the snakes. They have a nice selection of colubrids there, and some nice baby ball pythons. If I end up getting either of them, I will have to devise a fool-proof top restraint system so it definately cant get out. And I'll probably want to secure the beardie cage a little bit too (it would be a longshot, but it would truely suck if I got a ball python, and it escaped, and then went a step further and stumbled upon my prized beardie Sidney).
:Well, it's late, I better get to bed.

Fantastic information for individuals who are searching for Wi Fi related automatic vacuum!
iRobot's entrylevel Roombas now supply app handle to the cheap. All Wi Fi allowed Roomba robots is now able to be controlled with Alexa also.
IRobot is getting Wifi connection to its Roomba vacuum that is cheaper cleaning robots. The company is unveiling two new models nowadays, 890, which remain below its top and the 690 -of-the-line 960 and products that are 980. Through the Property software -- they could be handled unlike 860 and the 650 -- its previous low-end spiders. Which means you customise their cleanup agenda, check their "washing standing" and accessibility customer support from any Android or iOS system. The Roomba 690 is coming to Malaysia in July, marketing at RM2550. AutovacBot will be the vendor that earns the Roomba 690. The Roomba 890, meanwhile, is likely to be out in " Q2 " to get a yet-to-be- proved price.
Both Roomba 890 and 690 line have return to their docks quickly when battery is reduced or when task is finished and scheduling purpose. There are a few variations involving the new Roombas— the Roomba 890, for example, has "tangle-free" rubber extractors as well as a newer engine that's supposedly five times stronger than the motor on earlier Roombas, has a larger dirtbin and improved HEPA filter — but equally may now assist iRobot's mobile app, termed Household. This means you get notices can plan the Roomba, and monitor its cleanup rounds from the application, rather than needing to plan your Roomba to the Roomba itself or make use of a clunky remote-control while you are inside the existence of claimed software. Just what a time to become alive.
As promised, iRobot is also putting Alexa service for the Wifi attached products. When you have an Amazon Echo installed in your home, you cease can begin or dock the robot with speech alone. The "ability" is enabled by barking " Alexa Roomba," or by selecting the Roomba skill in the Alexa software. It is a small, but cool technique last year that one-of iRobot's largest competitors, Neato, presented because of its own products.
While iRobot released its Roomba 980 back 2015, its largest selling point was that it was the Wi Fi-connected software vacuum cleaner, which meant you might handle and monitor it from a smartphone software. The disadvantage was evidently its cost: RM4850. Even though the Roomba 960, a slightly cheaper model was rolled-out by iRobot, you had been still taking a look at a vacuum cleaner.
So these can seem like a steal as compared: nowadays Boston- based iRobot stated it released two new Wifi- Roomba designs that are linked, the Roomba 890 and also the Roomba 690. The Roomba 690 product continues expenses RM2550 and purchase today in Malaysia. Pricing hasn't been revealed however for the 890 model, which ships later in 2013, but considering that it's an 800 series Roomba it's likely to be more affordable than the 900 -series designs. Visit call or www.autovacbot.com 03-74961656 to hold one for the property today!You will get the best price in the market!
