A Collection of Backbone.js Resources
Backbone Fundamentals
Backbone Fundamentals is a Creative Commons-licensed book about Backbone.js for beginners and advanced users.
It's an initiative by Addy Osmani, who also runs a blog with several interesting articles for Javascript developers.
Backbone Fundamentals is a great resource if you don't know where to start or if you find the typical todo-list examples too limited.
I found the following parts especially interesting:
- Decoupling Backbbone
- Modular Javascript
- jQuery Mobile and Backbone.js (in progress)
SendHub.com: Single Page Web Apps with Backbone.js
A rather new article about this company's experiences building a SPA with Backbone.js:
Single Page Web Apps with Backbone.js [sendhub.com]
Introduction to Backbone.js with jQuery Mobile
Introduction to Backbone.js with jQuery Mobile is a recent article about the combination with jQuery Mobile. Comes with an example project. Others in this series: 1, 2 and 3.
Graphene: A D3.js, Backbone.js based Graphite Dashboard Toolkit
This project is quite complex but a good resource for learning about Backbone and D3.js.
Random Backbone-related resources I gathered in the past weeks:
- Official Backbone.js site with annotated source
- How to build fast HTML5 mobile apps using backbone.js, zepto.js and trigger.io
- Getting Started with Backbone.js by tutsplus.com
- Using Backbone.js with jQuery Mobile by Coen Raets (check his blog for more quality Backbone resources)
- backbone.layoutmanager by Tim Branyen
- Intro to Backbone.js series - by Liquid Media
- Ligament.js - Relation Associations with Backbone.js - by David Brady
- Backbone.js and Django: A Scrumboard - by Fatih Erikli
- Multiple Models
- Hello Backbone.js
- Connecting Your Web Frontend to Your Mobile Backend with Backbone.js

"HOME PLATE is one of the most powerful ministry opportunities I have ever been a part of. It has enabled me to use my platform as a follower of Christ and as a baseball player to share my testimony of how Jesus changed my life and how he continues to teach me as I grow in Him. Each year I am encouraged by those who attend and the hundreds who come to know Christ through HOME PLATE." — Mike Maroth, Detroit Tigers (2002-2007)

Obama To Award Medal To Author Jhumpa Lahiri
Indian-American Pulitzer Prize winner Jhumpa Lahiri has been selected for the prestigious 2014 National Humanities Medal which would be presented to her by US President Barack Obama next week.
While he was vacationing in Martha's Vineyard last summer, U.S. President Barack Obama brought along a book, "The Lowland"by the author Lahiri, and clearly it made a deep impression on him.
"In her works of fiction, Lahiri has illuminated the Indian-American experience in beautifully wrought narratives of estrangement and belonging," the White House said in a statement.
In January, Ms. Lahiri was awarded the DSC Prize for South Asian Literature for "The Lowland," set in both New England and West Bengal in the east of India during the 1960s when the Naxalite movement, a separatist uprising, began. The book was previously longlisted for the Man Booker Prize for fiction in 2013 but did not win.
Among other awardees include historians, writers, a philosopher, scholar, preservationist, food activist and an education course.
The annual awards recognize individuals and organizations whose works "has deepened the nation's understanding of the human experience, broadened citizens' engagement with history and literature or helped preserve and expand Americans' access to culture," according to the National Endowment for the Humanities, the federal agency that manages the program on behalf of the White House.
"The recipients of this medal have sparked our imaginations, ignited our passions, and transformed our cultural understanding. They embody how the humanities can serve a common good," NEH Chairman William Adams said in a statement.
Previous winners include Hollywood director Steven Spielberg and Indian economist and Nobel laureate Amartya Sen who won it "for his insights into the causes of poverty, famine, and injustice."

Beautiful family, gorgeous weather, adorable location. That just about sums up my session with the Naylor family on this pretty farm in Orem, Utah.
We made it through with only a few casualties, but I guess that's just one of the risks you take.
Can we just pause for a second and talk about this girl's hair? SO gorgeous.

Hello! Here's what's happening on Monday.
1. US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un met for a historic summit. The two leaders posed for photos, ate a meal together, and signed a "historic" and "comprehensive" document.
2. Trump said starting the process of denuclearization would happen "very quickly." His joint statement with Kim promised new US-North Korea relations and North Korea's commitment to complete denuclearization.
3. China said it "welcomes and supports" talks between Kim and Trump. Foreign Minister Wang Yi added that China will continue to play a "unique and important role" in resolving issues on the Korean Peninsula.
4. South Korea's Moon Jae-in said he hopes for a "new era" of denuclearization and peace with North Korea. Moon and Kim met in April, and have pledged to end the Korean War.
5. The US senate blocked a Trump administration deal with Chinese company ZTE. ZTE was going to pay a $1 billion fine, allowing it to resume working with US companies.
6. Apple banned mining cryptocurrency on iPhones. The newest version of Apple's App Store rules prohibits cryptocurrency mining snuck into unrelated advertisements and apps
7. Twelve people died in monsoon rains in Bangladesh. The government is trying to relocate tens of thousands of people.
8. New sanctions were imposed on Russia for alleged cyber attacks. US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said the measures target "malicious actors" working to "increase Russia's offensive cyber-capabilities."
9. The US unveiled a de facto embassy in Taiwan. Praise of the US-Taiwan relationship at the unveiling may draw ire from Beijing which considers Taiwan a province of China.
10. The FCC's net neutrality rules officially died. Broadband providers can now block or slow access to particular internet services.
And finally…
A new era of diplomatic relations with North Korea is on the horizon — here's what's happened so far.

One of the greatest opportunities a young person can be granted is the responsibility to run a business, lead employees and be held accountable for achieving results. This was the opportunity granted to 20-year-old Tauheed Baukman when, as a Drexel University co-op student, he was selected to run the most recently opened Saxbys Café, which is the second Saxbys on Drexel's campus.
Baukman is a student entering his pre-junior year at Drexel's LeBow College of Business. He is in the five-year program, which includes three six-month periods working and gaining practical experience in his field of study. Saxbys is Baukman's second co-op experience, which ends in September.
I asked Nick Bayer, the CEO of Saxbys and adjunct professor of entrepreneurship at Drexel's Charles D. Close School of Entrepreneurship, why he decided to pursue the idea of having a Saxbys café managed and operated by college students. He said, "I saw that college students were looking for experiential learning opportunities, and I wanted to provide it to them. These students get the opportunity to see how a strong and focused organizational culture successfully drives a business."
Currently, Baukman leads a team of 21 people, which will grow in the future. All are part-time Drexel students. Baukman is responsible for hiring, developing and leading his team members, scheduling his café's shifts, managing inventory, planning menus, minimizing waste and spoilage and ensuring his café meets health and safety standards. Baukman is also responsible for meeting his café's revenue and profit targets. Rarely do 20-year-old college students have this broad range of responsibilities.
I asked Baukman what he learned about leadership in his job. He said, "What I am learning is not something you can learn from a book; you need to experience it.
"You learn to lead by example, be consistent, honest with yourself and transparent with your team members. You need to communicate with your people and build trust. If you can't communicate, you won't be a good leader. As a leader, I am learning to make the tough calls."
Baukman added, "You will make mistakes, and you will learn from them. As a leader, you are not going to make the right decisions all the time. You learn to take initiative. Being a good leader is like being a good teacher. You need to teach others so they can grow and develop and can replace you."
There are three competitors within very close proximity to Baukman's Saxbys café. His aim is to be the preferred café to visit by providing great hospitality and a great guest experience.
I asked Baukman why his café is different than his competition, and how he and his team work to become the preferred café. He said, "We treat those who visit our café as guests, not customers. We serve delicious coffee and food, and provide great hospitality." He added, "Guests will not see their friends working behind the counter at a competitor, or friends managing a shift team or the entire café.
"You go to our competitors, and you do not see lively energy from the people taking your order. If a line forms, everyone on the Saxbys team works hard to speed up the line. Our competitors are not as responsive to long customer lines. They know their customers will just wait. We want to give our guests a great experience. Speed of service is big for us. It's one of the first things we learn in training.
"If a guest waits too long to be served, any Saxbys team member behind the counter is empowered to hand out a free drink card. That is why we want to hire people with good critical judgment and common sense – to know when to hand out a card."
Baukman added, "A great experience leads to guest loyalty. Good business operations lead to profitability. When you combine guest loyalty and profitability, you can successfully grow your business."
I asked Allie Bassman, manager of talent development for the company, what Saxbys looks for in the people they hire. She said, "We hire and train based on attitude and culture fit.
"We are looking for people who are people oriented, outgoing, detail oriented and disciplined. We can teach skills and knowledge, not attitude. We want people who are happy with what they are doing day-in and day-out. These people will be successful at what they do.
"We are a hospitality business first. This is how we differentiate ourselves. We are going to pay attention to our guests before anything else. Our team members know many of their guests' names and what they drink."
What struck me interviewing both Baukman and Bassman was their proactive, can-do attitude and the degree to which culture plays a huge role in Saxbys' success.
The opportunity to lead a Saxbys café while being a college student is a gift. What Baukman is learning can't be learned in a classroom, and will help him on the path to effective leadership and success regardless of the career path he chooses.

We often become too focused on the serious moments in life, yet we can learn as much about the funnier side of life with a chronic illness, or from those that show us grace in defeat.
I was therefore incredibly surprised to find out that my blog was among the 10 Best Blogs of 2018 as chosen by Everyday Health while also being awarded another Top 50 place on Feedspot's Best MS Blogs of 2018. And, as the proverbial cherry on top of the cake, I am now a contributor to The Mighty.
There's a certain amount of pride and vindication when you realise that you haven't given up on life despite those who would love nothing more than seeing you defeated. I cannot be any happier with friends and family members who have been there from day one and who never held my illness against me.
My message has always been this, "Please, do not give up, for you are a fighter and you can turn into a better version of yourself you never knew existed."
If you're new to my IMSM alliance and you're waiting for new content to be published, keep your eyes peeled!
Hope to see you then!

Angelina Jolie's life was forever changed when she adopted her first son, Maddox, from Cambodia on March 10, 2002. Previously, the actress had been known for her wild side after making headlines for risky, and sometimes strange behaviour (remember the vial of blood around her neck? Right).
But everything changed for Angelina once she became a mother to her son. She subsequently transformed her party-hard image into that of a caring mother and compassionate humanitarian. Maddox inspired her to adopt two more times after that before welcoming three biological children with her longtime partner, Brad Pitt.
Angelina's oldest son is all grown up, as he's now 17 and getting ready to head off to college. But despite living most of his life in the spotlight, there's still not much known about this celebrity child. Read on to learn what Angelina likes to keep on the down-low about her eldest son.
20 Billy Bob Thornton Was Almost His Dad
Unlike Angelina Jolie's other children, Maddox was not adopted by Brad Pitt initially, as the couple didn't become involved until after she had already adopted her son. In fact, the actress was in a different relationship when she first met Maddox, which means he almost had a different dad.
Angelina was infamously married to Billy Bob Thornton for a brief time in the early 2000s. She first met Maddox in March 2002 when he was 7-months old, while she was still married to Billy. However, behind the scenes things were crumbling in Angelina and Billy's relationship. Their relationship didn't survive the adoption process and, though they announced Maddox's adoption together, they publicly separated three months later.
19 Angelina Was Almost Banned From Adopting Him
Like many international adoptions, Angelina's went anything but smoothly when she was applying to take Maddox back to America. Maddox's adoption process was initially halted when the US government immediately stopped all adoptions from Cambodia over concern that the children had been trafficked.
The adoption agent assigned to his case, Lauryn Galindo, was actually convicted of visa fraud and money laundering. She was sentenced to 18 months in jail for reportedly falsifying the information of Cambodian children to help her US clients who were adopting, as UPI reports.
In the end, Maddox's adoption was luckily approved. "I prefer to stay on the right side of the law. I would never take a child away from a place where adoption is illegal," Angelina has said, as The Daily Mail reports.
18 Maddox Confronted Brad On Their Private Plane
After reports began surfacing of Brangelina's demise, details about an altercation between Brad and their eldest son began surfacing. The two allegedly had a confrontation while flying in the family's private jet after Maddox had come to his mother's defence.
A source told Us Weekly that Brad had been "drinking heavily" during the flight, to which Angelina asked him to stop. When he refused, the two got into a heated argument which "got physical." That's when Maddox reportedly stepped in to try and diffuse the situation. The insider added that Angelina arranged for separate cars to take her and the kids to their hotel when the plane landed.
17 The Court Ruled That Maddox Doesn't Have To See Brad
Fans were curious to know what sort of custody arrangement Brad and Angelina would agree to concerning their eight children. Brad adopted Maddox in 2006, as Made For Mums reports. Last June, Brad and Ange finally reached a settlement in court, which ensures Brad will regularly see his kids - with the exception of Maddox.
A source said that the court determined it's "critical" the seven younger children have a "healthy and strong relationship with their father," as USA Today reports. Maddox wasn't included in the ruling because the court found him old enough to decide if and how much he wants to see his dad.
So far, there's been no word on whether Maddox is making an effort to see his dad or whether things are still rocky between the two.
16 Maddox Refused To See His Dad Post-Divorce
Even though the court affirmed that Maddox can't be forced to see his father, many fans were hoping the teen still had a relationship with Brad post-divorce. But, at least at the beginning, it sounds like the teen was resistant to see his dad.
Back in 2016, an insider said the teen decided to stay with Angelina rather than go with his siblings for a scheduled visit with Brad. "He chose not to go and stayed with Angie," they told Us Weekly. "Maddox never wants to see Brad again," a different source added.
15 He Didn't Invite Brad To His Sweet 16
One thing Angelina and Brad definitely try to keep on the down-low is this little snippet of drama from Maddox's 16th birthday when the teen chose not to invite his father to the celebration in 2017.
"Angelina is planning a big sweet sixteen party for Maddox this weekend and Brad is disappointed he is not invited to attend," a source explained to Hollywood Life. "Brad is upset that he will miss out on this first big milestone event since the divorce. He is doing his best to work around Angelina's wishes for the children, but this is one instance where Brad is really hurt."
That would be one tough milestone to miss!
14 He Almost Starred In A Movie
We're expecting at least one of Brangelina's kids to follow in their footsteps and become an actor. That almost happened in 2013 when sources said Maddox was under consideration for a leading role in a movie.
An insider told Radar Online that producers were considering the then-13-year old for a role in Battling Boy, but that his parents weren't too sure. "Maddox would be amazing in the part, but Brad is wary of going 'all Will Smith with his kids,'" they explained.
In the end, the role went to someone else and Maddox has yet to star in a feature film. He did, however, have an uncredited role as a zombie in his dad's flick World War Z, and was an executive producer on his mom's film First They Killed My Father.
13 He's Helping Raise His Younger Siblings
With eight kids in the house and a full-time career, it's a wonder how Angelina does it. But sources say that her eldest son is a huge help when it comes to his younger siblings, so it sounds like she definitely has a hand in the child-rearing department.
"Maddox has gone above and beyond to help out with the younger kids," an insider said, as IB Times reports. "He has Angelina's blessing to do the teenage thing and take off with his friends but instead he sticks around to be with her and his brothers and sisters."
They added, "It's amazing how selfless he is, he definitely isn't the average teenager. He's one of Angeline's greatest sources of pride and strength, she lights up whenever she talks about him."
12 He Refused To Spend Christmas With Brad
The holidays sound like they were hard for Brad, as media outlets reported the actor spent Christmas with only four of his six children, as his eldest sons refused to attend.
"Maddox refused to go, and Pax didn't go either," an insider explained, as Metro reports. "[He] has never spoiled the kids for their birthdays or holidays. It wasn't over the top but low-key."
While it sounds like Brad wasn't upset at his sons for their decision, he was frustrated with his ex-wife. "Brad is disappointed in how much Angelina has changed since their split," a different source told Hollywood Life. "Brad is saddened that his ex constantly trots the kids out in public to make it look like she is an amazing mother.
11 He May Have Influenced His Siblings' Opinions Of Brad
Maddox always seemed firmly on his mother's side during the divorce drama, and some media outlets suggested this could be negatively influencing his siblings' opinions towards their dad.
"Maddox may definitely influence the other children, but he still has a right to his feelings to do what he needs to do to feel some sense of safety and comfort in his own life," Dr. Deborah Sweet, a family therapist, explained to Hollywood Life.
"This does not have to ruin the relationship between Brad and Maddox and likely is just a phase. But there must be repair in the relationship," she added.
10 He Wants To Go To School In Korea
It feels like just yesterday Angelina was making headlines for adopting her first child. But Maddox is already almost all grown up. He's already started looking at colleges, and reports say he's considering moving far away from home.
A source close to the family told Access Online that Maddox is looking into attending Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea, saying, "Angelina and Maddox spent the past weekend viewing Yonsei University in Seoul, Korea. Maddox is interested in studying in the country."
9 But Angelina Doesn't Want Him To Go To College
With news that Maddox is considering colleges abroad, fans can only wonder how his parents are feeling about this. Sources say that Angelina is feeling conflicted about her eldest child leaving the nest and she wishes he didn't have to go at all.
"It's a bittersweet time for Angelina right now," a source told Hollywood Life. "She's so proud of Maddox becoming this independent and smart young man who's going off to make his mark on the world, but at the same time she is going to miss him so much." They added, "She can't help wishing she had just a couple of more years with Maddox before he went off to do his own thing."
8 He Says His Mother Is A "Wonder"
Maddox might only be 17, but it sounds like he already has an impressive resume. In 2016, he had the opportunity to work alongside his mother First They Killed My Father, which she was directing. The movie is based on a memoir written by a survivor of the 1970s Cambodian genocide.
The movie was shot in Cambodia, so it seems fitting that Maddox joined his mother on set given this is from where he was adopted. The teen reportedly helped "wherever he could," as E! News reports.
When asked what it was like working with his mother, Maddox said, "[She's] fun, funny, and easy to work with. She's a wonder."
7 He Babysits Instead Of Attending Red Carpet Events
While most celebrity children seem like they can't wait to strut on the red carpet, Maddox seems content chilling at home with his younger siblings.
When Angelina attended the 2018 Golden Globes with her second eldest son, Pax, fans were surprised that she didn't bring Maddox along. But according to sources, the teen volunteered to stay home to take care of his younger sister Shiloh, who'd recently broken her collarbone.
"Maddox has taken on the role of caretaker in the family, and […] he's not a huge fan of awards shows and the red carpet, so he preferred to stay home and look after his little sister Shiloh," the source told Hollywood Life.
6 The Divorce Made Him Closer To Angelina
We wonder how Brad feels about this!
Given how rocky Maddox and Brad's relationship sounded after the plane altercation, it's no surprise to hear that the teen feels closer to his mom right now. But we imagine it must still be difficult for his dad.
"Angelina's relationship with Maddox has never been stronger," a source said, as IB Times reports. "They've always had a special connection but since the divorce, their bond has only strengthened. They really rely on each other. He's always been wise beyond his years but since her split with Brad, he's proven his maturity and wisdom is much greater than that of the average 17-year-old."
5 But He's Slowly Trying To Work On His Relationship With Brad
Fans have wondered how things are going between Brad and his eldest son Maddox ever since their 2016 plane fiasco. While the actor has yet to publicly comment on his relationship with his children, a source said that things have been getting better between him and his oldest sons.
"Brad's relationship with the two older boys has improved significantly since the split," the insider shared, as Metro reports. "While things are not perfect, they are all getting along well and the boys and Brad are in a good place." At least they're seeing each other now.
4 He Already Knows How To Fly A Plane
Not many teenagers can say they know how to fly a plane, but Maddox isn't your average teenager! Back in 2011, The Daily Mail reported that the then-10-year old had already started taking flying lessons.
Angelina actually got her pilot's license in 2005 (because what can't this woman do), so we're suspecting that her passion for flying motivated her son to give it a try. In 2012, Maddox took a trip with his mom when she flew around England, which would definitely be great inspiration.
The minimum age to get a pilot's license is 17. So if Maddox stuck with his hobby, he could definitely have his pilot's license by now!
3 Angelina's Charity Is Named After Him
When Angelina adopted Maddox, the actress bought property- 60,000 hectares to be exact- in his native Cambodia. She subsequently turned the land into a wildlife reservation and named it the Maddox Jolie Project, as Creation Is Love reports. The actress was awarded Cambodian citizenship in 2005 for her efforts.
Angelina continued to expand the charity afterwards, later naming it the Maddox Jolie-Pitt Foundation (MJP). Notably, MJP created Asia's first Millennium Village. The home on the original piece of property she purchased in Cambodia now serves as headquarters for the foundation.
We have a feeling Maddox is one day going to be heading the organization himself!
2 He's Been The 'Man Of The House' Post-Divorce
Since Brad and Angelina divorced, it sounds like Maddox has taken on a larger role in the family. A source told Hollywood Life that he was super supportive of his mom following the split.
"He's really stepped up as the man of the house," they explained. Madd is Angie's cheerleader and chief protector, and he rallies the troops whenever she's feeling down or blue." They continued, "The bond between Madd and Angie is amazing, so strong and unbreakable…he would literally do anything for his mom."
Angelina has spoken about how wise and mature her eldest son is, so it doesn't seem out of character that Maddox would step up when his family needed him the most.
1 He Already Hates The Hollywood Lifestyle
Most kids would tell you they'd love to have famous, wealthy parents, but it sounds like Maddox isn't so fond of everything that comes with life in Hollywood.
"Maddox views life much more seriously than Pax, and already has a great passion for philanthropy and human rights," a source told Hollywood Life, comparing Maddox to his younger brother. "He finds the glamour and glitz of Hollywood a little distasteful."
We're sure we'd get sick of the spotlight if we grew up with cameras in our faces, too!

This is a wicked roast chicken recipe, it's really easy and really tasty, you can make it even easier by using a pre mixed seasoning packet like the discovery chilli con carne seasoning or the old el paso fajita spices. They all work really well it's just a case of finding your favourite. The same goes for the blend of spices below, you might want to add more of one and remove some of the others its just a case of playing around to find your favourite blend.
Obviously the cooking time will depend on the size of the bird you have.
We had ours with new potatoes and a lovely green salad and then had the left overs in sarnies with salsa and salad.
Remove from the oven, allow to rest for 10-15mins then carve and serve with salad and new potatoes.

Pronounced "Gorgeous"
Despite the inherent hopelessness of the bio-pic of famous composers (and one suspects that the relation of what happens in this movie to the actual life of Strauss is a thin thread indeed - the film pretty much says as much in the opening credits), this movie is a real delight. Sure it's kitschy at times, but it's also frequently quite beautiful, the scenes staged with Duvivier's usual brilliance.
FAR better than it is given credit for. The lengthy "Tales From Vienna Woods" is a dazzling attempt to take the movie musical somewhere it had not been before. Also, watch for the sinister close-up of Lionel Atwill as he prods mousy Luise Rainer into fighting for her marriage. A fascinating film.

Family Pigeons, Doves (Columbidae)
White-breasted Ground-dove (Alopecoenas jobiensis)
Phlegoenas [sic] jobiensis
A. B. Meyer, 1875,
Yapen Island.
Closely related to A. kubaryi, A. xanthonurus and A. erythropterus; this group also has somewhat more distant affinities with A. sanctaecrucis, A. stairi and †A. salamonis. Race chalconotus has a narrower white eye-patch, purple across mantle rather than extending onto back, and slightly heavier bill, and the only female recorded was brown, whereas female nominate is like male; however, juvenile nominate is brown, so brown female chalconotus may have been a young bird (or a rare brown morph), but in any case more evidence is clearly needed before this taxon may be considered for species status. Two subspecies recognized.

If you have been to Space 15 Twenty in Hollywood you know there is always something different going on. You can find everything from live music, movie screenings, or a pop-up of artists and designers. One thing that is certain, your day will be filled with shopping, art and great food.
Our Umami Burger location at Space 15 Twenty is one of our most unique restaurants. Being surrounded by an influential, creative community can be inspiring as new and exciting events are always happening around us. We've hosted local artists as well as our most recent event for a local school, Cheremoya, to help fund their new tech lab. We have an indoor-outdoor space that is friendly for all ages and it is the perfect spot to enjoy dinner and a show.
Our ideal day at Space 15 Twenty:
We start our day by fueling up across the street at Groundwork Coffee with a cold brew and a pastry. Then we are off to do some shopping! First we spend some time browsing through the vintage pop up shop that is usually set up in the courtyard at Space15Twenty before heading over to Urban Outfitters, Free People and Pharmacy Boardshop. After all that shopping it is time to grab a quick frozen yogurt at Frog Frozen Yogurt Bar and walk on over to the Arclight to catch a movie. Once the movie is over we walk over to Amoeba Music to flip through some records before ending the day with dinner at Umami Burger. (You have to try our cheesy tots; they're on our secret menu).
Pro tip: Street parking is hard to come by but if you're planning on spending the day there we recommend parking in the lot located on Selma and Ivar. The maximum charge for all day is $8.

OLYMPIA — Washington state lawmakers are considering a bill that, depending upon interpretation, could allow businesses to refuse service to customers based on religious beliefs.
The bill is called First Freedom Preservation Act, introduced by Sen. Mike Padden, R-Spokane, and will be discussed at The Law and Justice Committee hearing Wednesday.
Some say the bill was created in response to the case of a Richland florist who refused to serve a gay couple who were planning to marry.
Padden denies the bill stems from that case.
"The bill we'll talk about Wednesday has nothing to do with whether a business can decide who he or she serves," Padden said.
The senator said the bill had more to do with allowing faith-based organizations to use public facilities.
"I'd rather bring state law up to date now than wait until after someone has lodged a complaint about, say, baptisms being performed in a city park.

twist front top // similar denim // bag // shoes
Today I wanted to share this cute twist front top that I got the other week. I really like that it's like a fancier t-shirt. If you follow me on snapchat then you know i'm a t-shirt and jeans kinda girl so this updated style is a-ok in my book! This top comes in black and blue and it's less than $50. What do you guys think? I feel like it's pretty flattering giving shape toy our waistline. If you're looking for an update t-shirt look, definitely check this top out.
Hope you all had an amazing week! I'm still getting over my cold but I definitely feel better than I sis earlier this week. I really hope I'm at the home stretch of this cold because it's been pretty brutal to all of us but on the flip side, i'm all caught up with my housewives and the bachelor episodes so yay! Stay healthy and have a great weekend!

'Doctor Strange' looks like the Marvel film Christopher Nolan never made
The trailer is like a play-by-play of his best films
Marvel Studios is one of the world's most successful film studios, and Christopher Nolan one of the world's best directors.
Nolan is credited with leading the charge for intelligent blockbusters, creating films of epic scope and intellectual depth – The Dark Knight is still widely regarded as the best comic book film of all time – and Marvel, on the other hand, has monopolised the superhero genre, intricately weaving a shared universe of plots and characters which have made their "Marvel Cinematic Universe" the most successful film franchise in US history.
Unfortunately for nerds all over the world, though, the titans seem unlikely to unite: Nolan's most successful films were his Batman trilogy, for Marvel's biggest rival DC Comics.
However Marvel may have just given us the next best thing. The Doctor Strange trailer came out today, and it could easily have come straight from the mind of Nolan himself.
Let's look at the evidence.
The exotic locations
Nolan loves to send his heroes to far-flung places in search of intrigue – Inception took Leo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy to Mumbai, Hong Kong and Paris, while Interstellar sent Matthew McCounaghey careening through black holes in whole other galaxies.
If Doctor Strange's life-altering journey to the far east looks familiar, it's probably because it's very close to Christian Bale's pilgrimage in Batman Begins: although it was Liam Neeson, not Tilda Swinton, dishing out the words of wisdom in that case.
The human drama
Critics suggest Marvel offers little dramatic appeal. Its films favour one-liners and visual flair over serious emotional drama. However Doctor Strange's core story, about a narcissistic surgeon who spirals into depression after losing the use of his hands, has a little more gravitas than the likes of, say, Ant-Man.
Add to that a stellar cast featuring the likes of Benedict Cumberbatch, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Rachel McAdams, and you have an ensemble to rival the likes of The Dark Knight Rises' first-rate troupe.
The whomp sounds
The dramatic music in Nolan's original trailer for Inception spawned a blaring-horns-in-teasers trend which is still yet to die down – the sound effect even has its own website, devoted to making your own life more dramatic.
The trailer for Doctor Strange is no different, borrowing a few well placed bwooooooaaaarghs to throw tension in the viewer's face.
The mystery
If there's one thing Nolan has mastered better than other directors, it's putting out trailers while keeping something back. Derrickson has clearly learnt a lesson from Batman v Superman's pre-release saturation, as he's not telling us a lot about the plot.
Like all the Nolan classics, the teaser makes you wonder what the hell you just watched, which is exactly what a trailer should do.
The trippy special effects
Nolan's films are praised for their mind-bending effects, so it's no mean feat for Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson to have taken them and made them even trippier.
Interstellar-style kaleidoscopic mind palaces? Check. Inception-style upside-down cities? Check. And this is just the first teaser trailer – anyone who's read a Doctor Strange comic knows things are going to get a lot weirder.
The fact it looks really, genuinely good
Because that's what this is all about: insane Nolan visuals, Marvel characters, a great story and Benedict Cumberbatch in a cape.
What more could you ask for?

Lovers do no hide their nakedness.
Congolese Proverb
I see so deeply within myself.
Not needing my eyes,
I can see everything clearly.
Why would I want to bother my eyes again,
Now that I see the world through His eyes?
Bare, I lay myself open and wait…Ahhhh here it comes, LIGHT, LOVE, PEACE, GRACE.
Source has smiled upon me and we are ONE. But wait…. Aren't we always?
Before your eyes, beloved, I am bare. Laid open, naked. As I see through your eyes, I behold my perfection, reflected back to me.
Your eyes, those that see so clearly, shine forth with love and acceptance for all that I am. As I stand as lovers do, I bare my soul to you.
My beloved, how clearly I see, you with eyes unveiled, and you gazing back at me. A perfect reflection of love we make, I reach out and sink into you.
-L'YA-ANA to the DIVINE-

Meth testing kits - Test hard and soft surfaces for residue - Test sweat or saliva because children can't always tell about exposure
Meth House Nightmare
Carl Brahe
A common misconception about meth labs is that a meth lab is a place where methamphetamine is manufactured. Colorado Statutes defines a meth lab so liberally that it includes places where meth has been used or manufacturing equipment, wastes or chemicals have been stored. Making things more risky is the fact that a house may receive the meth lab designation on the word of a trash collector, or other untrained person.
When a house is designated a meth house, law enforcement officers may arrive unannounced, evict the residents with no belongings and close the building to all but law enforcement personnel and industrial hygienists (IH). It's estimated that there are about 2400 meth labs in residential buildings in Colorado.
The owners may have the property tested by an IH and released after proper remediation. Remediation must conform to state law requirements. No shortcuts are allowed. At this time, a Decision Statement is issued. If the IH issuing the statement is properly credentialed, the owner is then protected from future lawsuits. This must be done within 120 days.
If remediation requirements are not met, the governing body will seize the property, rehab it and sell it to pay their expenses. Buyers have up to three years in Colorado to hold sellers responsible. If it is discovered during this time that meth was used or manufactured on the property buyers and subsequent buyers can hold sellers responsible for all damages to health, happiness and contamination of property.
The dangers that go along with meth houses include exposure to cancer causing chemicals that can saturate walls, carpets and other building materials as well as all contents. Lead and mercury are common byproducts. Chemicals, such as solvents, may be disposed of in plumbing or simple poured on the ground. If not removed properly these can cause various health problems.
Meth may be smoked or manufactured in cars. These cars expose drivers and passengers to the same dangers as being in a building where it was used or made.
The most immediate danger is the meth manufacturer. Meth causes extreme paranoia and symptoms similar to OCD, obsessive compulsive disorder. Howard Hughes had OCD. In the movie, The Aviator, there were scenes where Hughes locked himself in a dark room out of fear (paranoia). He collected junk and bottles of urine. He lived amongst the growing clutter. This is similar to meth houses that have been raided. Meth users called "Tinkle Tweekers" even save their urine in bottles stored in living areas to reclaim the unmetabolized meth from the urine.
Most people with OCD are pretty harmless except to themselves. The paranoid meth user can be very dangerous according to police reports. They are often reported to have large, sometimes bizarre, weapon collections that may be heavy on knives. Booby traps are reportedly set to protect the person's meth stash.
Meth users and manufacturers include people from all lifestyles. Doctors, lawyers and dentists are no more immune than factory workers or roofers. Meth labs are found in neighborhoods from affluent to poor.
When you enter a property take a deep breath. A cat urine smell is often associated with meth. Other odors to be aware of are ammonia, vanilla, solvents or metallic smells. These are warning signs. Meth labs may have no unusual smells.
Meth users sometimes become obsessive about objects. They may dismantle things like remote controls, watches or electronic devices. The objects can sometimes be found in a pile dismantled down to the smallest part.
Large amounts of household products are a tip off. Common products are used to manufacture meth that can found in an average home, except in a meth lab large quantities of common items may be in odd places. If you see multiple packages of lye, Heet, Coleman fuel, peroxide, pseudo-ephedrine or coffee filters in odd places, like stored in a bathroom, closet or kitchen, this is an indication that it may be wise to forget any involvement in the property. The occupant may be a warehouse club shopper with no sense of organization, but he/she may not be.
Propane bottles, or fire extinguishers, that have been altered, or have a blue stain on the connector, may indicate that anhydrous ammonia has been stored in the container. Anhydrous ammonia can be explosive in the right circumstances. It reacts with the metal leaving the connector corroded.
Iodine may be used in meth manufacturing. Iodine is a substance that goes from solid to gas state without becoming liquid. It sticks to everything and spreads on contact. Iodine stains walls and everything else. The stain may be red or yellow. It may be very noticeable if a photo, or other wall hanging is moved, revealing the contrast between stained and unstained.
Meth labs may be hidden behind false walls or other building alterations. Alterations that make no sense should be suspect, such as: exhaust fans mounted where they have no logical use; bootlegged power supply; rooms that are unexplainably small.
Inspection Perfection provides a quick, inexpensive test kit to detect minute residue from the use or manufacture of amphetamine or methamphetamine. A collection paper is rubbed over a surface where residue may be left from smoking or handling meth. A reagent is dripped onto the collection paper that turns blue if amphetamine, methamphetamine or ecstasy residue is present.
A positive test may happen in places where meth has been used, as well as manufactured. This test is for the actual residue of the drug only. It doesn't test for chemicals used in the manufacture or those that are produced in the process. A positive test tells you to proceed with caution.
Signs that property owners should look for with their homes and tenants:
• Tenants who behave oddly and are extremely thin, have open sores, bad teeth or dilated pupils
• Large amounts of trash with items such as lithium batteries, torn-apart matchbooks, water bottles, cold medicine packs and antifreeze containers
• Discolored coffee filters that are not brown
• Plexiglas or other dark-colored cookware
• Glass containers with two layered liquids and chemistry sets
These instant DIY tests for amphetamine and methamphetamine residue reveals meth contamination.
Meth residue can cause many health problems that are similar to those caused by other indoor air pollutants. You can hire an Industrial Hygienist to do testing to determine what is present that may be harmful to your health, in what quantities and how to remediate it..
You can also test yourself, or your children for meth that has been ingested from contact with contaminated surfaces. Saliva tests are accurate, easy to use, private and take only 5 minutes.
Cleanup standards for groundwater may be found in Water Quality Control Commission's Regulation No. 41 "The Basic Standards for Ground Water." A list of State groundwater standards for select compounds associated with meth labs is provided in Table 3. For those contaminants for which State standards have not been established, the facility may chose to:
• Use EPA's Clean Water Act maximum contaminant levels (MCL) or maximum contaminant level goals (MCLG),
• Calculate a health-based drinking water standard using an MCL-equivalent methodology, or
• Calculate a health-based standard using the Water Quality Control Commission's policy 96-2 "Human Health-Based Water Quality Criteria and Standards".
Surface Water Cleanup Levels
In the event that activities have resulted in the contamination of surface water, the remediation goal should be the most stringent of one of the following cleanup levels:
• The appropriate surface water standard, as established by the Department's Water Quality Control Division, for that surface water body. This applies only to those surface water bodies, primarily rivers and interconnected ponds and lakes, for which water quality standards have been established.
• A health-based concentration that is protective of human health using a drinking water
exposure scenario (unrestricted use designation).
• A concentration that is protective of aquatic life or other wildlife found in the area.
To report a known or suspected meth lab, contact your local law enforcement agency or drug task force.
For general questions regarding meth lab cleanup, call the Hazardous Materials and Waste Management Division's Customer Technical Assistance line at 303-692-3320 or toll-free at 1-888-569-1831 ext 3320. This number should also be called if you suspect that there may be potential environmental contamination from a meth lab (i.e., disposal to surface waters or dumped on the ground).
Suspected disposal down the sanitary sewer should be reported to the local wastewater treatment authority. The public works department or other city offices can assist in determining how to contact the local wastewater treatment authority.
For questions regarding health effects of meth lab-related chemicals or by-products, please contact the Department's Disease Control and Environmental Epidemiology Division at 303-692-2700.

The Monsters are home!! I'm so excited to have all the monsters finally displayed in my classroom. This is going to be a great project for the kids. I can't wait to see how my little experiment goes. It has already got some reaction from staff and students as they have been visiting. I'm glad it has become such a focal point of the art room.
I have included some art tags. They are simple. I don't have the sized of the work listed, or the sale price. Other than that, it's a good jumping off point for the kids to get to know how to read about the art in a gallery.
