Brownback Unveils Social Security Reform Plan
No tax increases, no decrease in benefit; choice for current worker between current system and personal savings accounts
ALEXANDRIA, Va—U.S. Senator Sam Brownback, Republican candidate for President, unveiled his comprehensive Social Security reform plan at the Club for Growth Winter Conference in Palm Beach, Florida on Friday, March 30.
In remarks to the Club for Growth, Brownback ruled out a tax increase or benefits cuts as a "solution" to the impending Social Security crisis. Instead, Brownback offered a marked-based approach to save Social Security and grow the American economy.
"With an aging workforce and an unsustainable social security system, we face an unprecedented challenge," Brownback stated. "By staying the present course, Social Security as we know it will not survive. Should we prevail by structuring a lasting solution, the rewards will be as unprecedented as the challenge itself."
Brownback laid out three fundamental principles of reform:
1. Americans should be able to retire with financial security and dignity.
2. Younger workers should be able to own and keep more of the money they earn.
3. Any reform should benefit and not burden the economy.
Brownback continued, "Underlying these principles is my belief each American worker should have a choice in how he or she provides for retirement, and the freedom to make that choice. No one would be required to leave Social Security, but everyone would be allowed to. Their new option would be a market-based alternative."
The market-based alternative is a saving and investing structure. It replaces taxes with the accumulation of wealth as the source of benefits. This structure should:
1. Create individual accounts with assets owned by the account holder;
2. Provide the opportunity for workers of all incomes to invest in capital markets;
3. Ensure inexperienced investors will not suffer poor returns relative to other investors;
4. Provide investment choice;
5. Offer a solution for workers who make no investment choice;
The plan would create three investment levels. Under the plan, workers' savings are deducted from payroll and invested in a collective money market fund. The units are then invested in one of three balanced funds. Each fund would be highly diversified, investing across multiple asset classes, but with different allocations. Individuals who do not or choose not to make a selection would have their assets invested in a default option.
"The benefits of reforming Social Security from a tax-based to a market-based system are significant and numerous," Brownback said. "Unlike Social Security benefits, the accumulated assets are one's personal property, which is not the case today. Also, everyone is allowed to bequeath assets above a certain level to any individual or organization they wish."
Brownback added, "Real Social Security reform will save our children and their children from a crushing burden of debt. The alternative to this transformation is not merely more of the same, but the possible hemorrhaging of the present system as it implodes under the weight of a shrinking tax base proportionate to longer-lived, more active American retirees."

I don't know about anyone else who was in the packed house at World Cafe Live last night, but I felt that our Slammers were on fire with some serious proverbial wisdom. The theme was "Second Chances." I've taken the opportunity to highlight a few I came away with for you all here.
Proverb #5: Gas attendants make long-term friends. -Inspired by Storyteller, Grant
Proverb # 4: Don't be shy. Give skinny dipping with a stranger a chance. -Inspired by Storyteller, Karen
Proverb # 3: If a family member sets you up on a blind date with a Biggy Smalls look-alike wearing socks and flip flops, take him out for hotdogs at Home Depot. He'll dig that. -Inspired by Storyteller, Keenya
Proverb # 2: The next time you have a lay over, make it a sleep over…with a stranger and fellow traveler. -Inspired by Storyteller, Kathryn

I got to work on Mommy's Socks virtually all day Sunday, in between Krusteaz Lemon Bars, and walks with Igor-
I found a lady on eBay,chappywoman; she has a large assortment of knitting supplies, and great prices, so I bought 3 pairs of circulars and some #5 DPNs from her last week. I need to get two pairs of size 2 16″ circulars from her, after she gets back from Ravelry Sock Summit Meetup August 8, 2009. I wish I could go!!!!
She also has the 1 inch plastic rings (among other sizes) for the Pineapple Book Marks.
I also got a new book off eBay last week-
This is the book which has the pattern for the Pineapple Book Mark I've been making for some friends ~
I began making the fan pulls while sitting with my terminally ill Dad, and it helped me keep my sanity during those dismal days. My Life Sis, Susie brought me enough thread and plastic 1″ rings to complete several fan pulls, while I was there. I gave her and her mother, and the Hospice nurse each one, as a token of my appreciation for all they did for me while I was there.
Oddly, the pattern book has since gone missing. It will probably show up now that I have another copy 🙂
A sunflower blessed us today, by blooming in the oddest place-next to our front porch!
The days are definitely growing shorter. It's 8:45pm and the sun has set completely already. Soon it will be time to button everything up in the Fall and then we'll be ready to hibernate for another winter.
G'night, sleep tight,
don't let the bed-bugs bite.
If they do, tell them to shoo,
and have yourself a good-night. (I made the last part up…can't remember how it goes…)

What Education and Training Do I Need?

This 2-year program builds a core foundation in liberal studies along with an introduction to the basics of costume design, pattern-making and the fabrication of garments.

During the course of these studies, you'll prepare and maintain a portfolio of work. Internships and hands-on experiences can be part of your training.
What Tasks Will I Perform?
As a costume designer, you'll research the production's genre and prepare sketches which portray clothing for its period or purpose.

As an assistant costume designer in these industries, your daily remuneration is $470.46, and a week yields $2,158.81. The pay scale is specific to this local chapter, but it can serve as your guide. You'll be eligible for membership based on work experience and letters of recommendation.
What Are Some Related Alternative Careers?
Some other related designing jobs that require at least a bachelor's degree include art directors, graphic designers and industrial designers. Art directors may work on performing arts productions or for various publications. They design and maintain a particular visual style throughout the production or publication. Graphic designers create the visual images and concepts meant to attract or inform consumers. Their work may be found in magazines, advertisements, brochures and retail packaging.

Next Workshop Starts In...
Holiday Inn Express 2150 East Wooster St. Bowling Green, OH 43402
I'm fully aware of how busy you are so I want you to know
what we'll be doing so you can be sure
this workshop is right for you.
First, this is exclusively for people who have chronic pain or injuries that have had no success with traditional medicine and want to know more about Stem Cell Therapy and the benefits people are receiving all over the world.
Second, this is a different type of "seminar" in which you will see real people and real cases of whom their lives have been changed forever through Stem Cell...there may even be a few shed tears.
This is not your typical medical fluff seminar that just shows you ways to cover up pain. We go into what it really takes to create regeneration in the body.
There are two parts to it, and we'll be doing both parts during the same workshop.
In part one, he'll walk you through an exercise called the Joint Re-generator.
We will answer a lot of
Frequently Asked Questions
about Stem Cells such as:
1. How long does treatment take?
2. How many treatments will I need?
3. Are there potential side effects?
4. Is there any down side?
5. Is it FDA approved?
6. What can I expect and how fast will I see results?
This section does four things:
1. It gets you clear on how much you can really expect to
heal from Stem Cell and what it actually does.
This is important because
chances are, you're "settling" for getting less pain relief than you want
we're going to fix that.
2. It instantly reveals exactly
what type of Stem Cells you should seek out.
..with no "sales fluff" or fiction, just research.
So if you're having a hard time getting the answers you want,
or if you're having a hard time figuring out this whole Stem Cell thing, this will fix it.
3. It immediately shows you exactly what to do for those pesky pains that just won't go away (and haven't for the past 20+ years).
This part is CRITICAL because
chances are, 97% of the treatments you're doing is bogging down your body's ability to heal
...and actually preventing you from getting as much pain relief as you can (and should).
4. It lays the foundation for what we cover in part two, which is to see real life stories of Stem Cell treatments and results.
Part Two: Stem Cell Patients: THE STORIES
In this section of the workshop, we'll walk you through a unique process Dr Young has used to generate life changing results in people's lives.
He's used it to help:
Knee Pain.
2. Hip Pain.
Shoulder Pain.
4. Back and Neck Pain.
Headaches and Much More...
...All using the same process he'll be giving you at each free workshop.
The dates again are:
1. Tuesday, January 29th @ 1:00PM & 5:30PM COMPLETED
I can't stress enough how DIFFERENT this is
to what you're currently seeing elsewhere in medicine and Stem Cell.
So if you're interested in what I mentioned above, this is exactly what you're looking for.
See you soon!
Dr David Tharp
P.S.The next seminar is
Tuesday, January 29th @ 1:00PM & 5:30PM,
Holiday Inn Express 2150 East Wooster St. Bowling Green, OH 43402
We will email you the Reservation when you sign up by

Dr David Tharp, DC

"From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere!" ~ Dr Seuss | One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish
Dear Eli
It's such an odd mix of ease and difficulty as I write to you.
One one hand it's simple. A piece of cake really. There's just so much to say. You're a fountain of exuberance, like a helium balloon that floats through life with energy, zest, and joy. (ps: Your mom loved them too at your age .. purple and shiny were always her request)
The good cheer you've brought to our lives is more than worthy of documenting. But on the other hand, I don't feel a need to document it quite as much now because two things have happened. Sadly I don't get to be with you in your everydays anymore, and your free and easy spirit keeps getting clearer and clearer. I never have to search for it. Whenever I'm with you ..
there's good all around
True confessions? When you were a little guy, it was harder for me. I'm a far better mother/grandmother with kids that are a bit older, and sometimes I had to squint my eyes so tightly that it was hard to see anything in front of myself at all. (Does the famous "It's not you, it's me" apply here? Yes. Perfectly)
As I felt off-kilter, sometimes I needed to steady myself on the beauty. Needed to fix my eyes on the good. So I wrote. And I wrote and I wrote, and it felt like I was writing for you Sweetie, but really?
I was writing for me
But now it's different. I don't feel like I need to write for myself. At least not in the same way. When we're together, I don't need the daily (almost minutely) reminders to enjoy the small moments, because there are so many of them. Writing them all down would feel a bit redundant.
When we're together I really just want to sit down and build another Lego tower together. You know? I want to settle into the minutes we do have. Getting to know your little brother Ezra, meeting your friends at school, chatting with your mom, afternoon adventures to the ice cream parlor
Could it be a trap, Eli? Is this what it means to take for granted these moments together? The idea that they're enough? That they supersede all need for documentation? Am I kidding myself that I won't need to write it down to remember the beauty of these days?
Maybe. Maybe not
Do you know that when we were way up high on the Ferris wheel, you helped me in the best of ways?
"Grandma? How 'ya 'doin?"
"I'm not sure Sweetie. I mean, I'm ok, but I'm a little afraid of heights"
"I'm not entirely sure; I'll practice my yoga breathing and be ok. Can you tell me a story to distract me?"
"So I can think about something else"
"Because I have to do that sometimes. It can be a bad habit, or also a really big blessing"
"I think it's a really big bressing. Some days I want to forget things too"
"Yeah? Me too"
And I think you cracked the code, sweet Eli. On my long drive home, I couldn't help but think that maybe it's in the forgetting that we learn and grow and improvise. And sometimes it's in the forgetting that we can also remember
xoxo .. Grandma
Something you might not know about me, Eli?
I write a few things in my gratitude journal every night and sometimes share parts of it here. My visit to see your family was part of a two-week long vacation of sorts. One day when you're old enough to read this, I'd love to share some of the other pretty cool parts with you too
strawberry ice cream with sprinkles .. always with sprinkles
sidewalk chalk on the soles of your shoes
vienna sausage fingers on babies
two pm margaritas with a side of mac and cheese
passing the hours with some really great audio books
that your first instinct is almost always correct
the first kiss of fall
the anticipation of hugging your daughter in one more day
'Hound Dog' by Elvis
lazy daydreaming under big Montana skies
being kind to yourself and letting your soul exhale in relief
making the effort
figuring out the hotel shower
a jillion kids' shoes by the front door
someone to remind us that we're not alone
coloring books and beginner crayon sets
the beauty of driving through Wyoming
calling your husband to tell him he was right, it truly is other-worldly
hoping cucumber water will balance out one too many McDonald's sundaes (yes, please, with nuts, super light on the hot fudge .. this can not become a habit)
kids that tell you "I didn't realize it then. But, you know Mom, you did good"
long hugs
breakfast omelets at a small town diner

I already checked and tested the gas cap with no improvement. I can start it and mow for about 20 to 25 or 30 minutes and then it rapidly peters out.If I let it sit for a half hour or more, it will run again for about the same amount of time. I've looked into web sites and one said my Kohler Command has a gravity fuel feed system but mine has a fuel pump. It is not a Kohler Courage according to the info on the engine. When it "stalls" for lack of better terminology, it sounds like I have moved the throttle slowly down to idle and then shut it off. Please help. I'm at a loss. Should I get a coil, or is there something that I should check with the fuel pump or carb? Oh and it does smell somewhat hot after it quits. Would appreciate any help. And thanks.

When you learn that one of your clients has filed a lawsuit against you for malpractice, you may suddenly feel your confidence plummet. You will likely go through every step of the case in your mind — the preparation, the presentation of evidence, the many objections — and wonder where you may have made a critical error.
Facing charges of legal malpractice
Gambling addiction among attorneys
The thought that you had a problem may have crossed your mind before, and you dismissed it because you knew your luck would change. Sometimes your luck did change, and things got better. However, now it seems as if nothing is going your way and no amount of money is enough to satisfy the urge to gamble. You may even be having dark thoughts, and your law practice is starting to suffer.
Are you facing discipline for giving inadequate representation?
No matter how long you practice law, you may always deal with clients who are unsatisfied. A verdict that doesn't go your way or a settlement that seems inadequate may raise accusations that you did not provide adequate representation. It may be understandable for your client to look for someone to blame, especially if the outcome of his or her case included a substantial loss, either financially or with a guilty verdict.
Alcohol abuse among lawyers
Alcohol use is part of the culture in the legal profession. From the earliest days of law school, men and women seeking a career in law learn that the use of alcohol and other substances are permissible – and often encouraged – methods of dealing with stress as well as for socializing.
Are you facing disciplinary action over a trust account mistake?
How long did your law school cover trust accounts? More than likely, it wasn't very long. This could make new attorneys vulnerable to making an error that leads to trouble. The truth is that even seasoned attorneys here in California, or anywhere else in the country for that matter, can make mistakes regarding their trust accounts. If it happens to you, disciplinary action could follow.
Protecting your nursing license
You may have gone into nursing school right out of high school, or you may have decided on nursing as a second career after the kids were a little older. Either way, you cannot deny the amount of time, effort and money you put into getting your license. You likely experienced weeks or months of anxiety interviewing for jobs and waiting for an invitation to join the staff of a medical facility or a physician's practice.
The highs and lows of using cocaine on the job
Perhaps you knew all along that your chosen profession included a great deal of pressure, or maybe you discovered this fact in your first year of law school. Either way, you undoubtedly found ways to cope with the stress of long hours, late nights and the very demanding expectations of becoming an attorney and practicing law.
Study drugs are not innocent just because everyone uses them
There is no question that law school is demanding. You may have known that all along, but maybe you didn't realize just how demanding. You probably feel like you are always exhausted, a week behind on everything and on the verge of an ulcer. Nevertheless, you know it will be worth it if you complete your studies and pass the bar.
Proactively protecting your counselor's license
As a licensed social worker, counselor, psychologist or therapist, you may think that your clients are the ones with the troubles. However, you may not have to look far in your profession to find those who have garnered their own problems by violating regulations established by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences. When this happens, they place their licenses and their livelihoods in jeopardy.
As a nurse, you may need to understand the enforcement program
You have a difficult job. As a registered nurse, you more than likely attend to the needs of numerous patients each shift. You do your best to ensure that you provide each patient with the best possible care, but that may not always happen.

It may surprise most of my clients, but I didn't always know I was going to be an entrepreneur. I attended the College of Saint Catherine, in Saint Paul, MN. I double majored in Sociology and Psychology and had planned to be a child psychologist.
I taught Early Childhood family Education and was going to get my Master's as I continued to teach. My offer to be an ECFE teacher was $19,000 a year. So, instead of living in poverty, I decided to look at other options.
I was employed at Wells Fargo Bank in downtown Minneapolis for 5.5 years. I held various positions such as a personal banker, and a small business banker helping small business owners with their accounts, and finding new business.
I left Wells Fargo to be the Operations Manager of two different companies . I managed all the internal projects for each company, created all new policies and procedures, and conducted many training sessions. I helped a company convert all their paper files into an electronic database, was responsible for the training of new employees, and managed four staff.
My last position I held before opening up my own company, was being the Director of Marketing and Sales for a different commercial cleaning company. I spent a few years helping this company gain business, manage clients satisfaction, hired and trained employees, and delivered hundreds of proposals.
The experience I gained from past positions helped me make the decision to open my own company. I had the privilege of learning both front-end and back-end business operations through building and developing businesses, sales, marketing, creating policies and procedures, conducting training, and the day-to-day operational management.
In 2012, I opened my own commercial cleaning company - Sutton's Advanced Cleaning Services. I have two office locations within the Twin Cities. One office is located in Long Lake, MN and one is in Edina, MN. I have several employees located throughout the Twin Cities ready to serve our clients. We serve the entire Minneapolis / St. Paul metro area, and now in select cities in western Wisconsin.

What are the skin care products for oily skin pores? 7 small tricks to solve skin problems
What kind of skin care products are used for oily skin pores? What is oily skin? After washing your face, nothing is applied. After 15 minutes, the face feels a little tight. After 1 hour, you can use the oil-absorbing paper to absorb the oil. This is Typical characteristics of oily skin. 1: Abandon alkaline foaming cleanser and use cleanser In order to deal with oil, summer oily skin people often love to wash their face with cleansing facial soap or facial cleanser.

The water temperature is preferably around 20 °C. Overheating will cause the sebum to lose water, too cold and can not be cleaned. (more…)

Apply for free school meals if you are eligible.
For every parent that claims free school meals we receive pupil premium funding. We can use this funding to help parents to pay for trips, clubs and school uniform as well as areas within school. With the introduction of universal free school meals parents may not apply for free school meals resulting in the school losing out on this funding. As a school our Pupil Premium is very low, so please do apply if you think that you meet the criteria (forms available from the main reception area)
What is Pupil Premium?
Pupil Premium is additional funding given to state-funded schools in England to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and close the gap between them and their peers.
If you receive any of these benefits you will be entitled to Free School Meals:

By John Thomas Staff Writer
"Romeo and Juliet" is as much a part of the American educational canon as "To Kill a Mockingbird" or "Huckleberry Finn". It's not just the story that opens our minds to Shakespeare, but often times it is used as a gateway to the realm of academic literature. As su
ch, it makes sense for the play to be contemporized, or even distorted, to reach this end. In that way, "This Bud of Love: A one-hour Adaption of Romeo and Juliet" morphs its source to great success. It's a production designed to introduce high school students into the world of Shakespeare, and for all extents and purposes it does just that. It may seem odd, but the part of the play that I believe was meant to be that which most explicitly connected it to a younger audience did anything but. When I saw the crew drag out a slide, a picnic table, and a swing set, I began to dread my assignment. I'm not against
bringing an old production out of its anachronism by updating the costumes, props, and such, however this set seemed to be a cheap, brazenly blunt way to highlight the show's dramatic conflict. I understand the thematic reasoning for setting "Romeo an
d Juliet" on a playground, but I don't believe that such a choice evidences any wit on the part of whoever's idea that choice was. That being said, I don't think the set took too much away. Well, except for the very beginning where most of the characters particip
ated in a number that seemed to be born out of an off-Broadway, poorly choreographed "STOMP". The only other point I really took issue with was the amount of Harry Potter allusions. My problem isn't really with their existence, as much as that they were performed with a degree of pretension, and the expectation of laughs. I just wish, with all of my heart and soul, that all writers would understand that a pop culture reference isn't inherently cunning. It can be humorous, or even ingenious, but not on its own without any context. That being said, the set and the spat of pop culture references were the only blights on an otherwise enjoyable hour of Shakespeare. The cast was on point, especially Rita McCann as Juliet, and Jesse Eberl as Mercutio among others. I was especially delighted by their portrayals of their respective deaths, as they seemed wholly in earnest, with a deft touch of sincere sorrow. In all honesty, there wasn't really a single performance that merits criticism. For the most part, "This Bud" was constructed well. The scenes that were cut were logical, and I think that what remained would allow any attentive high school underclassperson to have a rich discussion about "Romeo and Juliet" through a variety of critical perspectives.

For optimum performance of a hydraulic cylinder, the total tribological system (the piston seal surface, lubricant, and seal) must be in balance to suit the final end-use/application.
Ceramic coatings have improved resistance to pitting corrosion compared to metallic coatings and are very good for petroleum and chemical applications.
On steel, or iron substrates ceramic coatings are also used extensively in the printing, paper and pulp industries.
In the vast majority of ceramic coatings, a metallic bond coat is used to prevent corrosion of the substrate, provide increased adhesion, and increase the allowable mechanical deflection of the coated component.
Ceramic coatings can have a higher friction force at low speeds, but perform better (in friction terms) as speed increases.

CV axles were once primarily used on front-wheel drive vehicles. Today, CV axles are common on both front-wheel and rear-wheel drive vehicles. The CV axle assembly—the axle shaft, CV joints, and CV boots—is designed to flexibly deliver power to the wheels for a seamless transfer of torque. Located between the drive wheels, the CV axle, along with the suspension system, compensates for irregularities in the road and transmits torque to the wheels while keeping them turning at a constant velocity. The CV axle is attached to the wheels by CV joints. The inner CV joints connect the transmission to the CV axle while the outer CV joints connect the CV axle to the wheels. A fully functional CV axle assembly provides your vehicle with safety and stability while supporting passenger comfort through various speeds and driving conditions.
The CV axle assembly will wear out over time due to the nature of its flexibility and the extreme conditions endured by its components. If the wheels on your car or truck hesitate or you feel resistance while turning, your CV axle may have problems. Sudden pops while turning indicate that your CV axle may need a replacement. When looking for signs that your CV axle needs to be replaced, keep in mind that many symptoms can point to other issues like unaligned wheels or uneven tread wear. Maintaining and replacing other components in your vehicle's CV axle assembly will keep your entire assembly working as intended and help prevent CV axle replacements. Driving with a damaged CV axle will only worsen other components and lead to more expensive repairs down the road. At the first sign of trouble, contact us for a CV axle replacement service.
We proudly service the CV Axle Replacement needs of customers in York, PA, North York, PA, East York, PA, and surrounding areas.

For ages, women around the World have been using healing vegetable oils to nurture and beautify their skin. The western world is just catching up.
Oils have been part of my personal care for a long time. I believe, I have never purchased a commercial body lotion. It has always been oil. I use oils on my face daily and I find them effective, versatile and simple to use. I also love working with oils and use them in every treatment I offer at my clinic. The healing potential of oils is greatly underestimated and commonly not known.
Oils are beautiful; various in colour, texture and scent. They also differ in their healing profiles and biochemical makeup.
I would like to encourage you to give oils a try. But before you run out to buy one lets see which oil will benefit your particular skin type the most.
One more thing; there are many oil blends by various skin care companies on the market. To start with, explore pure organic cold pressed vegetable oils also known as base or carrier oils like: Rosehip, Argan and such. I believe you will like them a lot. Once you get a feel for base oils, the next step will be to add essential oils. At that point you will be able to affect much more than the health of your skin with your face oils. Another time about this....
DRY SKIN loves oil and can benefit from a variety of oils.
Apricot kernel
MIXED/COMBINATION SKIN does not like the oily feeling, yet it can benefit from oils like:
OILY SKIN will benefit from oils which help to balance the excessive production of sebum.
Grape seed
AGING SKIN is still either dry, sensitive or on the oily side so follow one of the above suggestions.
You can use oils daily instead of a moisturizer, as an addition to a moisturizer and/or to massage your face and neck at least once a week. Organic and cold pressed is always the way to go.
Are you using oils already? It would be great to hear about your experiences.

In the beginning, you'll need to place in some due diligence as you put together your property for the brand new member of the family. As of early 2005, the wild mom cat has had greater than 20 kittens in our barn, and I've managed to tame them and to find homes for most of them (sadly, several have been lost when the wild momma kitty took them out to teach them find out how to hunt).
If so, allow the kitten to stay as a stray as it has little or no likelihood of being domesticated and re-homed and should end up changing into a everlasting shelter cat or being re-launched back on to the streets. They will be reunited with mother and their new kitten siblings in per week or so as soon as the brand new kittens have discovered consuming.
Take care when introducing your kitten to other members of the family and present pets in order to make sure they all get off on the proper foot. Continue to accompany your kitten until they're used to your backyard and can find their approach again to the home without issue.
As you understand my total Hollywood MK Deception series was taken down from youtube together with all of my favorites (which were merely examples of Hollywood MK exercise), feedback, bulletins and so forth. Fortunately, some incredible people managed to get their palms on videos from the collection and add them all around the web making them available.
Early and frequent vet visits will help socialize your kitten with the vet and assist the vet establish a baseline on your kitten's well being. Kittens can grow to be dehydrated in a short time and not using a mom and may have fluids under the skin. These kittens — who are inexplicably sitting on a increase field — look like they're making an attempt to decipher this headline.

Long time talk show host Montel Williams suffered a cerebellar hemorrhagic stoke in June. The 62 year old former Marine is talking about his near death experience for the first time. The type of stroke Williams suffered is extremely rare, more than half the time causes death, or severe neurological damage. Williams had the stroke in a gym in the middle of a workout in June. The Emmy winner was hospitalized for 21 days, 10 of those days in critical condition. Williams said, "I'm very lucky, when it happened I didn't realize the veracity of what this was."
Williams continued, "When you start thinking of it in those terms, the percentage of people that die from this type of stroke, that's harsh reality. I'm so blessed to be alive, and I'm not taking it for granted."The day started out as a normal day for Williams as he was working out in the gym of his New York hotel. He was doing what he calls "a very intense workout'. He had been working with weights he explained. He said, "But while holding my breath and coming up from weighted squats, after 30 of them, I heard a loud noise." He says the noise he thought was coming from behind him.
He realized no one was there, he circle the room with his eyes. "As my eyes came back around, the whole room started to kaleidoscope and I was hit with this instant wave of tired." He thought he just had a stroke and threw the weights down. Williams' assessment was correct, the sound he heard was that of a blood vessel in his brain breaking. The father of four knew from watching the Dr. Oz show, that you can't lay down after a stroke. He managed to make it to the fourteenth floor to his apartment. His wife Tara called an ambulance. He said every day is recovery day for him, he gets stronger every day.

PollyG posted a topic in Shopping and CookingNoVA members--have you found decent horseradish root this year? My local (Herndon/Sterling area) Giant and Asian market had sad horseradish that was either entirely desiccated or both limp and moldy. MoM's and TJ's didn't have it at all. 4 grocery stores in 1 day is enough for me so if you've seen nice horseradish, please speak up!

Over the period of the workshop, they took various sets of photographs in their refugee home and in my studio. They created images about their dearest wishes and dreams. Here we have them for you to contemplate on: mermaids, heartjumpers, architects of flying houses, topmodels and magicians!

The Kingdom of God
The "Kingdom of God" on earth is only to be found where the Holy Spirit is moving and people are yielding to Him! That is why Jesus taught us to pray for the Father's will on earth as in heaven, because that is what the Spirit is doing. The word "kingdom," in the New Testament, means the rule of a king–not the things or the lands that belong to Him. In other words, you are only drawing near to this kingdom to the extent that you are actively involved in the supernatural ministry made possible by the Holy Spirit. Let me state it another way, you cannot live by the ways of this world and be Christian!
You cannot just stick "God" on your way of life and expect him to bless you.
And you cannot stick other things on your walk of faith and call them Christian! We are commanded to get His ways!
Mt 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Those who have not understood this verse have made it a message of morality, but it is a message of faith and power. The message of the kingdom is the message of power, but because the church has not walked in this power, we have a credibility problem. "Credibility Gap" used to describe our disillusionment with our national institutions- primarily government, media, and politics. Many Americans no longer feel that they can believe what government leaders and the media tell them are "facts." It is commonly believed that there is an enormous gap between reality and what we are told.
We have developed a similar credibility gap in the church. It only takes a cursory reading of the Gospels to see that there is a huge difference between the life and ministry of Jesus in the New Testament and the experience and ministry of much of the church.
The claims of Jesus carried credibility because he backed up what he claimed to be with supernatural endorsement. When he claimed to be the Light of the World (John 8 & 9) he fed over five thousand people with a few loaves and fishes; as the Prince of Peace he brought peace not only to a stormy sea, but also to the victims of violent demons (Mark 4 & 5).
In Jesus' kingdom message of the Rule of God (Mark 1:15, Matt. 3) his words and works were a complete unity. Jesus designed our faith so that the credibility of his ministry would continue through the church. In the early years, the church did continue to minister in both word and works, but today much of Christ's Body is ministering in word only.
Our words tell of the wonderful works of our Savior, but the accompanying supernatural works of the Holy Spirit are missing in most cases. What our world needs most is to see and experience the Jesus of the New Testament in all his compassion, truth, wisdom, and power!

This stunning 1924 estate was the focus of a recent Palm Beach architectural photography shoot by Brantley Photography for designer William R. Eubanks Interior Design. Working with designers William Eubanks and Mitch Brown, we were able to capture the charm and history of Tre Fontane, a landmarked Italian style villa. Originally designed by society architect Marion Sims Wyeth, Tre Fontane served as the Wyeth family home for 15 years. Wood-beamed ceilings, Cuban-tile floors, pecky cypress doors – architectural details that are a delight to photograph for every architectural photographer. The house is the cover feature for the Spring 2016 issue of Palm Beach Life Magazine.

Benefits Buzz - October 2017/
DID YOU KNOW? A federal judge struck down the Department of Labor's (DOL) overtime rule, which would have raised the Fair Labor Standards Act minimum salary threshold from $23,660 to $47,476. Based on the court's ruling, the DOL will need to present a mor reasonable salary threshold if it wishes to pass any future overtime rules. This means employers should continue operating as usual, but they should be aware that an increase is possible down the road.

Update: Testimonial! Royal College of Physicians, Regent's Park – London Wedding Band
Update: The bride from this performance has just got in touch with this lovely testimonial of the band.
It was a top priority for us to have a great live band at our wedding and you really were that. It made my evening to see so many people on the dance-floor for so long and the feedback from the guests has been amazing.Jenny and Alex Sweet
Read more on the wedding band testimonial page.
Tonight saw a trip to the nation's capital for the wedding band – London, and about as central as you can get, on the outskirts of Regent's Park! The Royal College of Physicians didn't strike us as your typical wedding venue, but with it's unique blend of modern architecture and fascinating history, there's no doubt it steps up to the role nicely!
London Wedding Bands, and those from Further Afield
It's a funny thing that London Wedding Bands are known to not enjoy leaving the M25 perimeter. It's certainly true that there's plenty going on in lively London, but they certainly miss a trick, in our view. Saying that, there can often be some trepidation on travelling inside the M25 for those of us who aren't London Based Wedding Bands… I suppose it is as they say: "Better the devil you know!".
Olympic lanes, not yet enforced we don't think, made a quirky change to the usual bus lane avoiding weaves we're used to. This was, however, the only sign we saw of the Olympics, besides road signs telling us to avoid London during the games. We don't have tickets, so I think we're safer back home!
We arrived, fortunately, in good time at the postcode. As is often the way in densely packed city centres, it's hard to tell exactly where you're supposed to be. After driving past the entrance a good couple of times, we found our way in with about 20mins to spare.
The helpful staff at the Royal College of Physicians directed us to the loading entrance, and we set to work.
Straight Forward Sound Checking
It's great when you've travelled 2 hours, and spent another hour loading equipment into the venue to find that the room sounds lovely (and not too lively!) The library had a great high ceiling, thick carpets and was, as you'd imagine' lined with books! The sound in there was ideal – and the photographer, himself an ex professional sound engineer, commented on how good it sounded after the first set.
An Interesting First Dance
Sunny by Bobby Hebb was the first dance – a lovely upbeat track with more key changes than you can shake a stick at! I think we pretty well managed each one in unison, and the bride and groom kicked off the dancing in fervent style.
And from there we played two and a half hours of live music! It's not infrequent that we are asked to extend the live music during an evening – though often on checking the schedule more closely it's recognised that two hours would be plenty. Not this evening though – and the guests got to dance away for 25% longer than usual. It's nice to be able to roll together a few tracks that don't often get aired together, and to really extend areas of the live set like the pop section that kicks off the second half. Tonight this was 10 songs long, and saw the dance floor lively throughout.
Leaving London
We're always surprised how much traffic remains on the central London roads through the night – and this night was no exception. Fortunately for us, it was all moving, and before we knew it we were back in the spacious greens surrounding the M40!
The Olympics will be long gone before we return to London… Until then – enjoy our photos of the night!

The Air Force housing on the corner of 25th Street and Western Avenue has construction materials on an open area overlooking the White Point Nature Preserve. What is this for and when will these items be removed?
San Pedro
The materials in this Air Force housing area are being stored for an ongoing construction project, said Joe Davidson, a spokesman for the Los Angeles Air Force Base.
The materials include a shipping container, several light poles and some cable.
The project will install perimeter security lighting, Davidson said.
"In order to meet energy reduction initiatives, it will be completely solar-powered, thereby consuming no electricity while still meeting security enhancement requirements," he said.
The project is scheduled to be complete, and all materials to be removed from the area by Sept. 1, Davidson said.

|Night fishing
|This photo of my daughter fishing reminds me of a Seurat painting!
I was in my office around 9PM Friday, working on a Cissy trunk set I'm close to listing, when my mother called and announced she and my dad would be arriving in the morning to stay. Now, last week we had at least one event every single day or night between swim team and marching band. Add to that my own work in my store and the garden, and our house was certainly not guest-ready! I had just been thinking about how much cleaning I needed to do over the weekend when my mother called. So we got up and scrambled Saturday to clean the house. My mother said the house looks wonderful, though; rare praise indeed!
My parents, it turned out, seem to have scheduled this visit because I'd posted photos of the kids fishing on my Facebook page. My dad loves to fish, and they came right down. Upon noting the state of our rods, all hand-me-downs from my sister, he took himself to the store to provision us in a more proper fashion. I will say, we had a reel with a broken handle and I lost a fish last week because I couldn't get the line in fast enough. We usually fish with little strips of foil, because we go in the day and the foil flashes and looks like minnows, but Dad had a low opinion of that and bought us glow-in-the-dark nightcrawlers from the nuclear power plant. They do work well for night fishing!
|Smoked Bass and Steelhead Trout
I think I need fish, too; the first two weeks of this vegetable and whey protein diet made me gain weight. That's usually a sign I've dieted myself into a vitamin deficiency, so I added fish and fortified yogurt (unsweetened) back in and now I'm losing weight again. Here's our recipe for smoking fish:
|Our barrel smoker, with the lid off.
|Coals and soaked wood chips make the smoke.
Add water to the water pan in the smoker. You may add herbs or citrus juice or peels to this as well. We added lime juice. Place your fish on the racks above the water pan. You can use foil to cover the racks and make them easier to clean later. Cover with the lid and close the little door. Smoke the fish until it flakes easily, about 2 hours for 2 pounds of fish fillets. Delish! The smoker is small enough that we've taken it camping before. One time we smoked pork ribs all day while we were out on Kerr Lake and they were fantastic. We had someone at the camp site to keep on eye on the smoker all day; we just took turns watching it while others went out in our friends' boat.
|Water and seasoning goes in the water pan and the fish goes on the racks above.
Besides fish from the lake, we've been gathering other bounty and growing our own. It has been raining now every day since June 21st, so the garden has been challenged. The squash, peppers, and eggplant have been quite unhappy. Our potatoes did well, however. I dug up another big bucket of spuds last night. The plants died back so I went ahead and pulled them. I planted any tiny ones to grow new plants. Because we've had so many home-grown potatoes I had some store-bought ones that got old and started rooting in the cupboard. This is a great money-saver in the summer months. I just dig out any eyes that are rooting before I cook the potatoes and plant them as starts. You can also do this with sweet potatoes. I planted the sweet potato peels two or three weeks ago and they are growing into nice little plants now. The first crop of tomatoes is nearly as tall as I am now. I put in a second tomato crop last week so as to extend our harvest. We have a lot of tomatoes, though it's taking everything longer than usual to ripen.
|This potato has eyes ready to grow in the garden.
|Sweet potato plants grown from eyes planted a few weeks ago.
|Insalata Caprese
This is also the filling for my favorite Italian panini: Pomodoro e Mozzarella! Just spread butter, olive oil, or cream cheese inside an Italian roll or two pieces of Italian bread, fill with the salad, and brush olive oil on the outside of the slices. Cook in a panini press or George Foreman grill until the bread has grill marks. I ate this practically every day for lunch when I worked in Italy!
Foraging is such second nature to me, I guess I've passed it on to my children. If you've been reading this blog for a long time you might remember my secret blackberry-picking spot. We still have quarts and quarts of wild blackberries we put up in past years. I haven't found a good spot here yet. I can see some ripe berries on the roadside near here and I'm thinking of walking over to pick them, but the road is so busy it makes me nervous.
My daughter discovered berries on the juniper bushes near the pool and we have been harvesting them from the neighborhood landscape shrubs. No one else seems to be interested in those, but they are a key ingredient in many Scandinavian dishes. They are more than difficult to find in store here. I've never seen them even once, except in their fermented form: capers. Fresh berries impart a flavor as disparate from capers as cucumbers are to pickles. My daughter was thrilled to show me juniper berries and has been going to pick them daily. I plan to dry them so we can have authentic Norwegian foods all year.
|Fresh juniper berries
I hope to continue my doll work this week so I can re-stock the eBay store, but now my sister messaged me to let me know her family will be coming to visit in a couple days, so I will need to get ready for that. At least the house still looks pretty good!
|Our tomato plants are nearly as tall as I am!

1Malaysia Tourism Lantern Festival 2012
Today was the 3rd day since the Lantern Festival launched on 21 September, at Central Market (Kuala Lumpur).
What we saw was the 'left over' from last Friday opening.
This underwater scene was the 1st price winner made by students.
I couldn't understand why would a lantern festival to be joined celebrated by families and children has to be held on a weekday.
One could finish sight seeing the few lanterns on display in less than 15 minutes.
The best time to visit is on 7pm. Please note that the lanterns will be on display until 30 September 2012.
If you are around Petaling Street, I would say it is alright to stop by. You could be disappointed if you make your way from other part of the country. It was a slight improvement over last year's disappointed festival.
2 responses
Hi, your lantern designs are great and outstanding. May I know if you sell small lanterns for children to play at home during mid autumn parties/gathering? And some medium size for display for home parties.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Social media platforms are rapidly becoming an essential business development tool. Research shows that 83% of Canadian businesses are already connecting and engaging with audiences through Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and other social networks.
One of the best business development tactics you can employ using social media is employee advocacy.
What Is Employee Advocacy?
At its core, employee advocacy is about empowering your people to share valuable information and resources with their social networks. This practice not only builds awareness, trust, and credibility with target prospects, but also enables your employees to develop their own personal brand and set themselves apart as thought leaders.
When implemented strategically and consistently, employee advocacy can work for companies of all types and sizes. In the US, the typical internet user has 200 Facebook friends and over 60 followers on Twitter. Even if your company has only 10 employees, that's still a potential reach of over 2,500 people.
Is your business using social marketing to generate leads? Read our blog to learn more!
How Employee Advocacy Benefits Your Business
- A brand's message will be re-shared 24x more when the sources are employees as compared to the brand itself.
- Leads generated through employee advocacy are 7x more likely to close than others.
- The rate of retention is 37% higher among customers who are referred by an advocate.
How to Encourage Employee Advocacy
1.Think Strategically
Before proceeding, plan your approach by setting the specific goals you want to set for your business and how you can measure them.
Consider things like:
- Who your target audience will be.
- Whether you want to reach new prospects, strengthen relationships with existing customers, or a mix of both.
- Whether you want to drive more direct leads or focus on increasing brand awareness.
Have employees share engaging content and resources like product spotlights, demonstration videos, or case studies. If you want to be known as a thought leader, encourage employees to post thought-provoking resources to connect and engage with potential buyers.
2.Establish Sharing Guidelines and Standards
To be effective, your employees need to know both what your message is and how they should communicate it.
When developing directions, think about:
- The tone your employees should take, whether formal or conversational.
- How often you would like them to post and share content.
- Whether or not they should personally respond to comments and messages.
Defining these guidelines will ensure that each individual's messaging is aligned with the company messaging.
3.Educate Your Employees about What's in it For Them
Benefits for employees who actively engage in employee advocacy activities include:
- Establishing themselves as industry thought leaders.
- Generating quality leads.
- Expanding their network of influencers and referral sources.
- Staying in tune with the needs of the target market(s).
- Maintaining a value-based relationship with the existing customer base.
Ultimately, staying visible with customers and prospects is what employee advocacy is all about. Using social networking tools strategically is a smart and efficient way to do just that.

If I'd had any idea how easy it was to make delicious salmon burgers at home from just a slab of salmon and an egg, I'd have been doing it long before now. I feel so cheffy when I get out my cleaver (I really don't get to use it enough) and break a salmon filet down into the consistency of ground beef. Which is really the first part of the instruction for this delicious and so easy recipe.
- 2lb Salmon filet – debonned and deskinned
- 1 egg
- Oil for frying – I recommend sesame oil as it imparts a lovely flavour
- Green beans – washed and trimmed
- 2 tbsp of soy sauce, tamari or coconut aminos
- Bun/bread of your choice
- Cut your salmon into small strips and chop it with a cleaver until it resembles ground beef; place into a large bowl.
- Whisk an egg and mix it into the salmon. The consistency will be wet and sticky.
- What I've best is to scoop 4-6 ounces of mixture onto a med-hot oiled skillet and then shape and flatten with an egg turner into a hamburger form.
- Cook 5-8 minutes on each side until cooked through and nice and brown on both sides. Remove the last of the patties from the pan
- Add a little more sesame oil, and throw in the green beans.
- Toss them in the oil until they become softened; turn the burner to medium and throw in the soy sauce to coat the beans.
- Cook a few more minutes, just until beans are fork-tender and you're ready to plate up.
I like to keep my salmon burger simple and just add a little cilantro and sriracha sauce, and of course, salt to taste. Come to think of it, lemon zest would be yummy too 😊 Enjoy!
Nutrition Information: for 1 4oz burger with a standard hamburger bun, and 1-1/2c green beans, fried in sesame oil and soy added as per above:
- 479 calories
- 43 g carbs
- 18 g fat
- 37 g protein
There are many options to change the macros up – I often skip the bun and eat with rice instead.
*Leftover patties are great crumbled onto a salad or topped with a friend egg and wilted spinach*
