Everyone finds the stock market difficult to navigate, even investors with experience. You can make money, but also lose a lot in the process. You can make wise investments and enjoy profiting from them if you follow the advice you're about to read.
Check a broker's reputation before using them to invest. Taking time now to check out a broker can save you a lot of headache and maybe even significant financial loss in the future.
Always maintain realistic expectations about your investments. Contrary to those myths that you may have heard of, the vast majority of people are not becoming rich overnight in the stock market. You need to be involved in low-risk, manageable stocks that you can easily control. Keep this in mind as you build your portfolio to ensure you don't get taken advantage of.
Be sure that you have a number of different investments. Putting all of your eggs in the same basket can be quite foolish, as the old adage implies. As an example, suppose you invest all of your money into one stock only to have it tank. You wind up losing your hard-earned savings.
Have cash on hand for emergencies. Keep this money in an interest bearing account, that can be easily accessed. Six months of living expenses is good rule of thumb. This way if you are suddenly faced with unemployment, or high medical costs you will be able to continue to pay for your rent/mortgage and other living expenses in the short term while matters are resolved.
Do not try to properly time the markets. History has shown that people who steadily invest even sums of money over time do better in the long run. Figure out how much you can afford to invest on a regular basis. Next, invest regularly and be certain to stick with it.
An online broker can be an excellent option if you are ready to handle your investment research yourself. When it comes to both commissions and trade fees, online brokers are significantly cheaper than ordinary brokers, or even discount ones. You want to spend the least amount of money in order to make money.
If you are new to investing, be wary that making big returns overnight is tough. It usually takes several months for stock prices to rise, and many people don't have the patience to wait it out. You have to be patient and take your time.
You will need to create a plan and have effective strategies for a good stock portfolio. Include what you want to buy, when you'll sell and what you'll do as the next step. This should also have a spot that clearly shows your budget for investments. This practice will ensure that your decisions are based more on logic than on emotions.
As stated in this article, there are a number of things that you can do to ensure that your money is as safe as possible in the stock market. Use this advice to make safer and more successful stock market investments.

And then I am finished. Not just for the summer, but for at least a year. Yes, as ink dried on my full-time contract for this year, I found out that I was pregnant with Gaines. And maybe it was all the pregnancy hormones, but working full-time and trying to be a full-time mom was so much harder than I thought. Yes, all moms are working moms, but trying to manage a career and run a household is hard...really hard. So I have decided to take some time off to enjoy motherhood.
(Excuse the lovely mess behind my lovely boy)
I do not regret my decision to work full-time this year. It gave us an extra income, which is always nice when getting use to paying a new mortgage. Even though this school year hasn't been a walk in the park, I have learned so much about dealing with co-workers, students, and parents. I have made friends who have supported me through the tough times and celebrated the happy ones. And I feel like I earned a "Badge of Honor." I worked full-time with a toddler, a husband who travels, and pregnant. I even managed to do a load of laundry or two.
Prayers please for the next few weeks. Even though it is short, I am going to miss my munchkins! June 3rd, here I come!

Getting ready to sell your home has you smiling, for now. You are thinking about the end result and getting the offer you want. That would be ideal. When you start to think about the people you will meet, potential Houston home buyers, what comes to mind? It would be interesting to do the dance, but there is a much quicker way. Other Houston house buyers, investors, want to show you that they make selling your home like going to the bank to cash a check, except they don't give you a check. They pay cold hard cash. Houston Capital Home Buyers and Houston Real Estate Home Buyers are just such a companies.
That is cash in hand, and those are the motivated Houston home buyers. Of course, it's not fair to categorize families and other folks as less than motivated because they simply don't have the same means as the investors do. They aren't often able to pay cash for homes. Instead, they have to wait out approval for a mortgage, the underwriting procedure and the closing process, both sides on pins and needles. They will find the right properties for traditional buyers, and then the rest of the properties will be sitting on the market needing another deal to be made.
Would one of those properties be yours? As a homeowner, you are now aware Houston home buyers pay cash if you call the right company. They pay cash, and they say that action is their game. Don't let their energy and available means convince you though because it is your decision about selling your home. You can look at all of your options, including multiple cash offers, and you can then decide what's best on your behalf. It shouldn't be any other way, but not everyone knows enough about these offers and the legitimate companies out there to feel comfortable speaking with investors about cash offers.

Pointers About Mortgage Rate Freeze
Home loans offering variable or adjustable interest rates can be common in the market. Those mortgage loans with rates that can be adjusted are bound to change which depends on the Prime Rate.
There is a direct relationship between the mortgage loan and prime rate- it is bound to increase when the Prime Rates increases even if the mortgage loan starts out low.
On the other hand, loans having a fixed interest rate remain constant. This is the reason why consumers are advised to go with a fixed-rate loan when acquiring a mortgage. That type of loan has a lower chances of facing foreclosure since the interest rate remains the same all throughout the loan period.
Can it be possible to prevent the interest rate of your loan from increasing? How can freezing of the rate affect and protect you? This article covers mortgage rate free and the benefits that you can get from it.
What is mortgage rate freeze?
Mortgage rate freeze has been approved by President Bush in December 6,2007 to give consumers a more convenient way to deal with their mortgage repayments. The rate freeze is given to those who acquire subprime loans.
In a way, repayment can be a problem because subprime loans have higher interest rates. Once borrowers acquire a rate freeze, they can protect their loan rates from increasing.
For example, let's say that you have a subprime loan. Your interest rate can be doubled or increase by as much as 5% or more, in the succeeding 5 to 10 years. Here, keeping up with your installment payments monthly can be a more difficult task. You can save money from your loan payments by freezing your interest rate. Do you want to know how to get a rate freeze?
Who are allowed to get a rate freeze?
Acquiring a rate freeze isn't just for anybody with a subprime loan. Only 118 thousand homeowners with subprime loans can qualify for a rate freeze, according to the Center for Responsible Lending reports. Bear in mind that there are more than 3.7 million people having subprime mortgage loans.
Who are qualified for a rate freeze? Here are the standard requirements when applying for a rate freeze.
*The borrower must be consistent with the payments being made while the "low rate" applies
*You must be a residential home owner;
*Mortgage loan must be obtained from Jan. 1, 2005 to July 31, 2007 only;
*The only reason why the borrower was not able to keep up with the payments was because of the increased interest rates;
*The mortgage is a subprime loan or a bad credit loan- the borrower should
have a FICO score less than 660 to be considered as bad credit rating;
*The borrower should not be late with his submitting payments for more than 60 days;
You may contact 1-888-995-HOPE if you wish to find out if you are eligible. This is a non-profit organization which represents various leaders, credit counseling agencies and investors in the US. Just in case you are not eligible for a mortgage rate freeze, the organization can help you find other options to assist you with your home loan.

Guess who's back
I know what you're thinking. She's been away for 6 months without a peep, and now she wants me to read her really annoying return to blogging post. Pur-lease!
All I can say is, you're right. Yes. I have been away. I didn't even post a holding note to explain why. I really have nothing to say in my defence. All I can offer is an explanation. That and an introduction to a new era of blogging on Green and Ginger.
There are two main reasons I've been away:
- A lot of things have been going on in my life that I couldn't really justify writing about on a food blog. Things like getting engaged, being banned from entering Turkey for three months, nearly losing my job, my grandma dying, going to work in a war zone, getting two really awesome new jobs and having to choose between them – and that's just for starters (I've started a new blog where I can talk about non-food-related issues, but I'm keeping it anonymous for now).
- But the real reason is this: food blogging was starting to get on my nerves. This is dangerously close to condemning the hand that feeds you, but there'll be no more tiptoeing around. I started this blog because I love good food and because I want to find a way to keep on eating it without crapping all over the planet at the same time (obviously my meaning here is metaphorical – there's nothing we can do about the literal meaning…). But I think I lost sight of that motivation. In a world where writing about food seems inseparable from caramel-dribbling photos of food, where the emphasis seems to be more on taking shit-hot photos of food that has been "styled" (I think I just vommed a little in my mouth), it's difficult not to feel like you've got to play the game. Sadly for me (and for you, if what you're after is sexy photos of lentils), I'm not a good photographer. What's more, I'm too busy eating the product of my labour to worry about styling it.
So a new era is starting, my friends. To help me stay true and keep my blogging mojo, I've set myself some rules for this new era:
Rule #1: All food will be photographed as is. That is, as it is in the pan or on the plate. I will not add a scrap of superfluous raffia or a leaf of unnecessary parsley. If it's not how I eat it, it's not going on this blog. The upshot of this is: more pictures are going to be more crap than my usual low standard. Sorry.
Rule #2: The random Turkish-Bangladeshi-generic-European chaos of a recipe selection that I've been serving up for the last year will continue. I thought about trying to 'theme' this blog more, but that just ain't me. As with rule #1, what I cook is what I'll write up.
Rule #3: Everything that I post will in some way refer to the principle of (metaphorically) not-crapping-all-over-the-planet. I'll expand on what this means some more in the coming days, and I'll explain how my recipes try to do this.
Times are a-changing, people. I hope you enjoy the ride.
(As ever, I'd love your feedback on this blog so say hi!)

I HAVE A LOVE/HATE RELATIONSHIP WITH MY SCALE — by Catherine Morgan (cross-posted at BlogHer)
About eight weeks ago I posted about how I started a pre-diet. I was trying to get reacquainted with the taste of healthy foods, and wean myself off of sugar. As far as that goes, I feel like I'm doing pretty well, I've even lost some weight. At the time of the post I had lost about six pounds, and since then I have lost another six. I'm now down 12 pounds from my heaviest weight ever (not counting when I was pregnant), I know because that's what my scale says. If it wasn't for my scale I wouldn't believe I've lost any weight at all, so for that reason, I love my scale. However, I also hate that the number is still so high. And, I hate that even after losing 12 pounds, I still have almost 30 to go.
But, it's always a better idea to focus on the positive, so that's what I'll try to do.
First, I have finally gotten over the sugar hump, and I'm not craving sugar the way I used to. I even made my world famous chocolate brownie cake with my daughter, and wasn't tempted to eat any of it. That's a pretty big deal for me. I've also stopped eating junk food, and I've stopped eating late at night (for the most part). Another thing I do, is always keep several bags of vegetables, and microwavable diet entrees in my freezer, for when I need a quick meal.
My daughter has been a great help by not asking me to buy cookies and ice-cream when we go shopping. It's amazing how much easier it is to avoid eating junk, when it's not in the house. Instead of ice-cream with chocolate sauce, she is now happy to get no sugar added ice-pops, and low-fat granola bars. We also had the opportunity to try something new. Skinny Cow sent us two boxes of Skinny Dippers, and they are very yummy (and only 80 calories). We both love mint chocolate chip ice-cream, so the mint Skinny Dippers were are favorite.
So, that's what I've been up to for the last several weeks. I'm not putting a lot of pressure on myself, and I'm not starving myself. I guess what I'm doing could be called a diet, but I'm sticking with calling it a pre-diet for now. Once I hit a plateau, and I'm not continuing to lose weight, I'll kick it up a notch and go on an actual diet. For now, this is working for me, so why mess with it?
Have you been trying to lose some weight? How much do you want to lose? Have you been having any luck? What kind of things have been working for you? Are you calling it a diet?
Other bloggers dieting…

I have a Studiolive AR12 USB going into a Mac Pro and using Logic Pro X as DAW. I have a Blue Mic Bluebird connected to AR12 through XLR and have to crank the input on the AR12 just to hear anything through Logic Pro. What gives?
Does that mic need phantom power?
Are you recording the channel input pre everything? So the signal is clean before the eq and fader or anything else.
Or are you record the main left and right out? Not really recommended in a studio environment
Just asking for some more input on the workflow.

Ah, procrastination, you are my best friend. You let me put off what I should be doing. You are always entertaining, even when you are dumb as a pet rock. I can spend hours with you on end and it is never enough. I am addicted to your wondrous embrace, the honey sweet feel of rest in your arms for all eternity.
Which I'm doing right now.
Which I've been doing all week.
I should have been preparing for Camp. And yet… Oh! A shiny!
My current favorite procrastination techniques are as follows:
1. Cleaning – Yes, it needs to be done. Yes, it is a good thing I'm doing it. Does it need to all be done right this minute? No, not so much.
2. Decluttering – see number 1.
3. Making a quilt from t-shirts that are from number 2 – Sure, a t-shirt quilt is awesome. It's a great way to preserve the memory of all those nasty ass t-shirts I've had filling my drawers. Why am I starting it a week before Camp? Because I am awesome. (On a side note, it would have been smarter to make all the squares a uniform size, but that would have been TOO EASY.)
4. Regretsy.com – When DIY meets WTF. Go look, it's awesome and full of snark! (I have also been trolling oh so many other blogs, far too many to name. Seriously, it's my new hobby.)
5. Mowing the lawn – This one really DID need to be done. Which means it shouldn't be in this list.
6. THIS BLOG – That is all.
7. Teaching someone to draw via skype – This is just a bad idea all around. You end up with things like this
And it didn't help him either.
8. Coming up with a myriad of craft and home improvement things I want to do – Some of them would be seriously cool, like actually putting in some kind of floor cover or making a frame wall. Some of them are seriously not cool, like trying to find things to spray paint.
Yeah. I think I need help.

Faucet handles
You may think the bathroom is the worst germ offender, but it's actually the break room and kitchen. Researchers collected 5,000 swabs from office buildings and used a device that assesses sanitary conditions, called the ATP meter. It measures the type of environment bacteria favor. A count of 300 means there is a high risk of illness, and 75 percent of break room sink faucet handles had 300 or higher.

What to expect from this weekend's NHL All-Star Game/
It's here. Finally.
This weekend the stars of the National Hockey League will descend on Nashville following more than a year of preparation and, according to tourism officials and other interested parties, more than a decade of dreaming.
But before the players start skating Sunday, fans will have plenty of opportunity to take in all the all-star festivities. Here's a look at what locals (and out-of-towners) can look forward to, starting Thursday:
- Bridgestone Winter Park, the outdoor attraction open since mid-December, will present five outdoor concerts, Thursday through Sunday, alongside its ice rink hours. Performers include Big & Rich, Dierks Bentley, Kelsea Ballerini and more.
- The NHL Fan Fair kicks off Jan. 28 and runs through Jan. 31, featuring more concerts, a mascot showdown and a visit from the Stanley Cup. Unlike the Bridgestone Winter Park concerts, the attractions inside the fan fair require tickets. More information on both the free and ticketed events is available here.
- It wouldn't be a Nashville party without country music stars in attendance, and the game itself will not disappoint. Bentley, Vince Gill, Charles Kelley and Chris Young will sit alongside the coaches representing each division during the game, scheduled for 4 p.m. Sunday

Online life insurance offers abound on the Internet today. Often, youd even receive an online life insurance offer without asking for 1. Go ahead. Check you junk e-mail folder. Chances are youll find a couple or more of these online life insurance provides there.
Just because they may be being filtered out as spam doesnt imply that these online life insurance offers are useless, however. The fact is, online existence insurance offers can, quite literally, become lifesavers once pursued. Not necessarily your lifetime, dear friend, rather, these online life insurance delivers can ensure the nutrition of the loved ones youll bid farewell to once you pass away.
Intricacies Of Online Life Insurance Offers
Online existence insurance offers are, basically, your conventional existence insurance offered through on the internet channels. There is absolutely no difference between online life insurance offers and those supplied in the real world, save for the fact that online lifestyle insurance offers can be accomplished and maintained without having leaving the comforts of your own home.
On the web life insurance offers usually come with a blank form. All you have to do is to load this up as well as submit them to the on the internet life insurance company, either through registered mail or perhaps through the convenience of e mail. Once studied, the web life insurance company might then approve or even reject the same.
On the web life insurance offers largely do not require medical examinations. All that is demanded of you is to fill up the web life insurance application form with all of honesty and good faith. Please bear in mind that should you conceal a material fine detail of your medical condition, this could cancel your online lifestyle insurance later on, even after a policy has already been granted.
Usual Fare Applies With regard to Online Insurance Offers
Online life insurance offers tend to be treated much like traditional insurance offers. The premium you'll pay would depend around the age, gender, medical history and occupation of the individual applying for such on the internet life insurance.
The amount of advantages which the online existence insurance would provide for your mentioned beneficiaries would depend on the amount of the premium youve been paying and the length of the payment term of the on the internet life insurance policy. It might also depend on whether the online lie insurance will be standard or phrase. Standard online life insurance will not impose a period of effectivity, although a term online existence insurance does. A term on the web life insurance, however, would certainly offer a more affordable premium.

I'm still not feeling well. I've been my usual achy self because of the cold temperatures but I also caught a cold that I just can't seem to shake. I'm trying though. I did make a rag rug though. I had my boys rip up the fabric info 1.5 inch sections and then I knit them on large size 19 needles. The pattern is free from cocoknits.com. I wanted to make this for my bathroom but it was just too big. I will have to try this again on a smaller scale for just the right bathroom sized rug.
This took about 7 yards of fabric. The idea is to recycle an old sheet but I didn't have one to rip up.
Hopefully I will feel better soon.

North American Pet Health Insurance Month is fast approaching with September around the corner.
To help celebrate, the North American Pet Health Insurance Association is accepting nominations for its Favorite Veterinarian and Favorite Pet Insurance Story contests. The entry deadline for both is Sept. 15.
This will be the second year that pet insurance companies in the U.S. and Canada will come together to recognize North American Pet Health Insurance Month. Last year's contests brought in thousands of entries, the association reported.
"We are very gratified that National Pet Health Insurance Month appears to be a positive and valuable effort," said Loran Hickton, the group's executive director. "It is intended to help all pets and care providers by highlighting great pets and their owners, veterinarians, veterinary hospitals and the support of quality pet health insurance. We look forward to another successful year in 2010."
For the North America's Favorite Pet Insurance Story contest, pet owners, care providers and others can submit stories of how pet health insurance helped them when a pet needed medical care. The story must discuss pet insurance in action. A digital photo of the pet must be submitted.
The winner will receive $1,000 and a $500 donation in the name of the dog or cat to a favorite local shelter or rescue group.
To nominate a veterinarian for North America's Favorite Veterinarian contest, tell why the veterinarian deserves the honor. The name, address, city and state of the veterinarian must be provided.
The winning veterinarian will receive a $1,000 educational grant and a trip for two to the North American Pet Health Insurance reception in Pittsburgh on Sept. 21. The grant can be used to attend continuing education programs, conferences or conventions or be applied to the purchase of veterinary diagnostic equipment.
Runner-ups in each contest will receive Apple iPads.
Both contests can be entered online at naphia.org[1], where additional entry rules are listed.

Understanding body language flirting is essential for Christian singles. It's basically a collection of all the nonverbal clues a guy (whether he be a Christian or not) gives out when he's interested in woman.Just to be clear, not all body language flirting is a conscious decision on the part of the single guy, but may in fact be a subconscious behavior.Therefore, the more a woman knows how a guy flirts with body language, the greater her chances of picking up when a guy is actually interested in her.

You need to quickly share images with your friends. Not all of your friends use the same chat programs, social networks, etc.
kevlarkitten.com runs to the rescue.
It works like this: you upload an image and set an expiration period. You then get a special web address. Before the image expires, it can be seen through this address. After the image expires, it's gone forever.
It's very fast, simple to use and 100% hassle-free. You don't need to login or anything! And only the persons who know the link can see the picture.
Many months ago I wanted to learn a web framework, just to learn how it works. Then I just implemented a project I had had in mind. I had a domain which I wasn't using, so I put it up at kevlarkitten.com and told a few of my friends about it to get some beta testers.
A few days later, another friend was asking me "what's the best way to just quickly get you guys these pictures of a potential new office space I'm looking at". I pointed him to the site and he sent us several image links for our amusement. Success!
The site has been up for some time now, so it should be somewhat bug-free. A wider audience is very welcome. If the site makes your life easier, very good.
Huge image sizes are not supported. If you that bothers you, try resizing the image - I think in normal use you won't get such problems. I might implement support for very huge pictures later, but given that I pay for bandwidth, it's not a really high priority for me :P

Govt. will never find any wrong doing of former President: Cabraal
Posted on July 11th, 2018
Sheain Fernandopulle Courtesy The Daily Mirror
While claiming that the Government was attempting to find fault with former President Mahinda Rajapaksa, former CB Governor said they would never find any wrong doing of the former President.
He expressed these views at a news briefing held yesterday at the Western Province Aesthetic Resort where they launched a new organization called 'Voice for Justice' with the membership of former secretary to Prime Minister Sirisena Amarasekara, Dr. Nalaka Godahewa, Rohan Weliwita and several others.
Addressing the media, Former CB Governor Ajith Nivard Cabraal said the incumbent government was attempting to create some wrong allegations against the opponents of this government.
We saw how Minister Rajitha Senaratne was saying that he has seen in a document which shows that there is US$ 80 billion in the account of Mahinda Rajapaksa. These are all false," Cabraal said.
The Government wants to create a false ideology amongst the general public on certain individuals who have become a threat to this government," Cabraal added.
He further said the new organization mainly aims at becoming a voice against the organized political victimization that was widely taking placing in this country.
Meanwhile, Dr. Nalaka Godahewa said the underworld was on the rise and the government had been unable to tackle with this issue properly.
It is clear that the police have been unable to control the underworld because the police have to work according to the whims and fancies of the political agendas," Dr. Godahewa said.

My dog Trudeau is easily one of the best dogs in the history of time. Sure, he's over a hundred pounds and approximately the size of a shetland pony, but he wouldn't hurt a fly.
Unless the fly is dog-shaped. Then he will cut a bitch.
It's possible that Trudeau has a little bit of a dog aggression problem. Okay, he definitely has kind of a big dog aggression problem. He doesn't seem to want to, say, draw blood or destroy his enemies. He just wants to, you know… push the other dogs into the ground and make them cry uncle and maybe pee themselves. He's like a schoolyard bully on a sugar-high. We're getting professional help, and by that I mean obedience training, not a dog psychiatrist. (I already know that he has abandonment issues and probably unresolved feelings about his parents.) I have confidence that it is very fixable, and in the meantime, we're managing the issue.
I keep Trudeau leashed and under control (though in order to do this I have to make frequent use of my Look of Disapproval and my incredible biceps), and generally this wouldn't be a big problem, except that I'm apparently the only person in the county who believes in leashes. And though everybody's off-leash dogs are perfectly friendly, they don't quite seem to understand that my dog is not. Not too long ago while walking in Sequoia Park, Trudeau and I came upon a man who was crossing our path and who, I did not notice until we were almost upon him, had a tiny and adorable little shepherd puppy stumbling along at his heels. Off-leash.
The puppy happily trotted up to us, blissfully unaware of the nature of his impending demise. I held back my instantly over-excited bloodhound/silverback-gorilla-cross monster, who was either determined to lick the puppy to death or determined to devour it in a single gulp, and who either way was very likely to kill it by accident with one of his huge clumsy platter-sized paws.
The puppy's owner, unconcerned, didn't seem to notice me struggling with Trudeau (who was doing his very best Kraken or possibly Cthulhu* impression, complete with "GIVE ME NOMS OR I WILL DESTROY UR TOKYOS"), glanced over and, apparently utterly misinterpreting the nature of my concern, said, "Oh, don't worry. He's friendly!"
As you can imagine, I was very relieved that the puppy — who seemed barely old enough to be weaned, and certainly not old enough to have joined Fight Club — wasn't going to attack the slobbing gorgon. I don't think said gorgon realized how much danger he might've been in. From the puppy.
Loose dogs are a problem in my neighborhood in general, and particularly since I walk my dog after dark, I've ended up with a bit of a case of the nerves about the whole thing. There's Maxi-the-fleabitten-mongrel down the street, who actually vaults right over the fence so that she can bark ferociously at us, and the Akita on the other side street who stalks us creepily from the shadows, and the pit bull on the school road who is only held back — and only occasionally — by a gate that seems to have been made from an old wooden shipping palette. The latest addition to the giving-me-a-freaking-heart-attack brigade are a pair of massively-muscled pitbulls, who after running amok in the neighborhood for a few days seem to have taken up residence in the cemetery, which they clearly chose for its theatrical properties. A pair of snarling pitbulls charging at you isn't quite enough; with the whole cemetery thing they were going for more of an H.P. Lovecraft-style effect, in which dogs in addition to having sharp teeth and bad attitudes are also demonic and will eat not only your face but also YOUR VERY SOUL.
I probably wouldn't have much of a problem with these animals if it weren't for Trudeau, who attracts trouble like he's a gravity well, and who certainly doesn't help these situations by baying back what I can only assume are lewd remarks about the pitbulls' mothers. Honestly, I cannot take him anywhere, and I hope he realizes he has only himself to blame.
* When I typed "Cthulhu," my blog insisted that it was a misspelling and suggested instead "Cuchulain." Thanks, blog. Now I have The Pogues running through my head, and that's not a bad state of affairs if you ask me.

Jan. 3, 2005
When you first glance at Florida State men's basketball junior forward Diego Romero, his 6-foot-10, 240-pound frame can overwhelm you. When you listen to the highly-touted, junior college transfer speak, that first impression fades, as the man who was tested for almost a year off the basketball court by the NCAA's strict amateurism rules emerges with a vivid memory of the trials and a deep appreciation for what it took to don jersey number 25 for the Garnet and Gold.
"No question about it," said Romero regarding his win against the NCAA. "I think Florida State did a great job helping me get my eligibility back. I will be forever grateful for that."
Romero speaks of a tumultuous start to his career as a Seminole when he was informed that he was ruled permanently ineligible because of his club career in Argentina. He signed two underage contracts to cover his expenses while playing for his native country. He was not grandfathered in by the NCAA Division I Management Council, who made the rule change after Romero was enrolled at Lon Morris (Texas) College prior to 2001. Athletics director Dave Hart, head coach Leonard Hamilton and associate athletics director Bob Minnix were all instrumental in getting Romero's eligibility reinstated in January of 2004. He redshirted the remainder of the season after missing 15 games in anticipation of two full seasons with the Tribe.
"It motivates me to go out there and play because, here they never left me behind, they never forgot about me," Romero said, commenting on the relentless efforts of those at FSU who pushed his case to the end. "They worked so hard to help me get on the floor. The only way I can say thanks is by playing hard everyday."
In a lineup that did not return a single starter from the same point in the 2003-04 season, Romero is definitely making his presence felt. He has started all eight games and leads the team in field goal shooting percentage at .618. He is second on the team in scoring with 7.8 points per game, tied for second in rebounds per game averaging 4.4 and shooting .654 from the charity stripe. He has five steals and four blocks while averaging 21.5 minutes per game.
After all the help Florida State provided in getting Romero to the court, he is actively returning the favor, serving as a role model for his young and talented teammates and a friend to his fellow upperclassmen.
"My role is to try and help the younger guys," said Romero. "Every time I step on the floor I just try to help the team get better. Bring some energy which is something I think we're missing."
While the flashes of the playmaker he will be have been seen intermittently through the start of the 2004-05 season, Romero has yet to play up to his potential. As usual, the Seminoles will push hard for Diego to have the opportunity to showcase his potential.

I'm a sucker for a good food market, so when my house mate was going to be selling Sirince Jewellry at the Fashion Market part of the City Bowl Market, why not going along for an good evening out.
On every Thursday, between 4:30pm – 8:30pm, this is THE place for the foodies of Cape Town to meet. There is something for everyone to snack on – savoury and sweet. From vegan sushi wraps to paella, to the best brownies you'll ever taste in your life from Le Petit Moo to bone marrow (not my choice food item, but hey)
With great live music playing on the stage, and a bustly vibe humming from the floor – this was exactly what we needed on a gloomy, rainy Cape Town evening.
Follow them on social: Website, Facebook, Twitter & Instagram for updates or call 073 270 8043 to book your trade table at the 14 Hope Street, Gardens. There is lots of free, safe parking around the area, but I always suggest getting there early to find a close spot. Just remember to tip your carguards.

From the Crow's Nest / Ed Chrostowski
Failing to get full value in education spending
Arne Duncan, U.S. secretary of education, says the latest $23 billion federal bailout for public school systems is "desperately" needed and the unspeakable alternative would be "catastrophe."
Isn't it strange that less than 18 months ago, the Chicken Littles said the schoolhouse roof would collapse unless it was shored up immediately? In the nick of time, Congress came up with $100 billion, about half of it in direct aid to states, to stave off that catastrophe. Whew! The PTA and the teachers' unions again sighed in relief.
The profligacy is particularly galling in the context of results, dubious though the measurements may be. Scores in achievement tests in various states have not shown marked improvement and, in fact, even have dipped a bit in too many places. Aware that classroom success, and hence faculty performance, is measured by such tests, teachers in some states have been "over-reaching," according to The New York Times.
Putting it more bluntly, the Times reported downright cheating by educators in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Indiana, Nevada, Virginia and "elsewhere." In Houston, where fifth-grade math and science teachers were promised bonuses of up to $2,850 as rewards for improved scores by their students, there was a full-blown scandal.
Scores there suddenly soared and an investigation revealed that teachers had tampered with tests, sneaked preview looks at questions and then gave students an appropriate "study guide." The school's principal, assistant principal and three teachers later resigned and students' scores were invalidated.
There also have been reports of teachers peering over the shoulders of students taking tests and giving them helpful hints.
Yet, cheating is relatively rare and, as in Houston, quickly nipped in the bud. But now temptations mount as students' test scores are increasingly factored into teachers' performance reviews. The trend calls for increased vigilance, of course. It also cautions against over-dependence on scores in standardized tests as a measure of how well a student is learning.
Not all extravagance in educational spending can be attributed to test score pressures, however. Media pundit George Will, who tends to suspect Democratic chicanery at every turn, blames political catering to unionized public employees, teachers in the case at hand. He may have something there.
"Emergencies" in the education system have become cyclical, a new one arising almost as soon as an old one is met. The federal share of spending on public schools, supposedly a state and local responsibility, has doubled in 10 years and it seems the more that's available the more it becomes "essential." Tenure, automatic annual salary increases, handsome pension plans, great health care insurance, control of class size, new programming, the "need" for more teachers and more aides -- it all smacks of "empire building" by unions. A budgetary priority would demand a harder line in negotiating contracts with all public employee unions.
There's no way to disagree that state and local government obligations in public education need and deserve help from Washington. The great work done by most teachers is acknowledged and appreciated. But there's cause to dispute the way those dollars are used, especially when results are questionable.
Writing in a journal called "Education Next," Southern Methodist University researchers point out that public schools in the nation have had more money and more employees per student in each succeeding year even as enrollments dropped and the economy soured. Pointedly, their article is titled "The Phony Funding Crisis."
In Danbury last week, plans for an infant-to-age-3 program in the public school system were outlined as one use of federal stimulus funds. In Ridgefield this spring, all-day kindergarten suddenly became absolutely essential although half-day sessions had been acceptable for decades and had not caused any educational disaster. Why now?
The value of both programs is not in dispute. The timing is. Introducing costly new programs (Ridgefield's will cost an estimated $700,000 a year, Danbury's well over a million) is decidedly extravagant at a time when revenues are down and municipal budget constraints force layoffs and hiring freezes.
Until the economy is robust again, we ought to at least hold the line.

Well, first things first is that I'm using Colin's missionary email for this, so that's weird. Life happens.
Anyway, NGL this week was kinda a hard one. Maybe I was just having sympathy angst for Colin or something, but my animo was just kind of low and it was pretty hard for me to find the hecka intense motivation needed to be a missionary. I was just thinking about how apparent all of my weaknesses still are to me (you know, the sins that so easily beset me and such), and I was reminded of something the RaeBae wrote to me like a year ago back when I was having my charity probz lolz. Anyway, she said, "Maybe you've founda bit of a weakness, a force which you would need to motivate you beyond yourself on your mission. Well, no shame, no guilt, now is the time to develop it free of worldly distractions! Everyone has something/many many many things to work on and isn't it such a blessing that for some of us, Heavenly Father intervenes and literally snatches us up and puts us on a little testing plate (like in those science labs where they grow bacterias and stuff) where we can just develop those Christlike attributes that will make us not only closer to living with our Father in heaven, but happier in this life too?? After this mission you will be SO SO SO much happier for the rest of your life.
Do not overthink it. You have probably already grown leaps and bounds and will continue to do so. Honest. I swear there were things I struggled with (like personal weakness) my whole mish that I was like, um, I'm getting nowhere on this. But now that I'm home I can totally see where I have improved. Because the mish is extra hard, even though you might not necessarily see improvements out there, when you get home, it's suddenly so much easier."
So I had shared this with Hna Lundberg back when we were comps, and we both really connected to the whole "mission is a science lab of Christlike attributes" concept. So I was talking to her this week one night that I was just feeling kinda down on myself, and I was mentioning to her about the fact that I feel like the mission brought out a bunch of weaknesses that I didn't really even know I had, and/or I knew I had them but they were pretty minor. And then she brought that example back to my mind and was like, "OF COURSE you see all of your weaknesses as so much of a bigger deal right now. WE ARE UNDER A MICROSCOPE!!" And it was a very good reminder, ya know? That GOD gives us our weaknesses (#Ether12:27), and that everything from God we will come to love (#Luke11:9-13). So I will come to love my own weaknesses. And I really really believe that.
But the week finished out SUPER well on Sunday and we had FIVE investigators come to church. It was really awesome. And I gave a talk and it went well and it was just a good day. AND as of this past week, Hna Torres and I have OFICALLY contacted more than 1,000 people together!!! Much people. Many Spanish.
So things are really good and today has been an awesome P-day. We bought some cool recuerdos and had lunch in my comp's old area and it was just a fun time. So I`m still doing super well and and so so so content where I am in life right now. Really tho. It`s extremely awesome and I hope I can have this feeling of contentment with me for like a large part of my life.
Love you so much!!!! Thanks for all your support and love.
Hermana Ross
p.s. It`s officially my birthday week, so things are getting real
P-day last week at the temple! We are all ex comps of Hna Lundberg. Aka as you can see she`s had pretty much all white comps
That time my comp had like literally 10 calendars on her desk #nottrunkyatall

Angel Campey – chosen as one of Mail and Guardian's Top 200 Young South Africans of 2018 – has brand of observational humour has been dubbed as comedy for the discerning young South African and nothing short of hilarious. Tackling sensitive issues from racism and white privilege with wit and charm, to professing her love for Beyoncé and glitter, award-winning writer, radio host and stand-up comedian, Angel Campey, is fast-becoming a leading voice in South African comedy.
"I've always been interested in being on stage. From the age of four, I'd ask to tell the class a story instead of the teacher reading one," reminisces Campey. "I thought that this love of talking on stage meant I wanted to be an actress. I always knew I was funny, but so what? As a woman, it never crossed my mind to become a comedian," she says.
However, in 2011, Campey took the plunge and in a few months made it into the finals of the prestigious Parker's Comedy Showdown in Johannesburg, being the only female in the top 10 and beating 50 other hopefuls in the standup comedy battles.
Her career took off with proverbial angel wings and Campey quickly became a staple on major comedy stages nationwide and an annual fixture at festivals such as Rocking the Daisies, Synergy Live, Rock the River and Up the Creek. Her success earned her a seat as one of the resident queens on Comedy Central's Kings and Queens of Comedy. Her comedy has also been featured on DSTV's Comedy Central channel, and she was invited to perform a comedic TED Talk, which was livestreamed to millions worldwide. Her career has taken her to headline at some of the top comedy clubs in New York City, performing to a standing ovation at Just For Laughs in Montreal Canada, and to an arena show in Lagos, Nigeria alongside African superstar comedian, Basketmouth.
Despite her comparatively short career in comedy, she has two comedy specials under her belt; Yes, Really Angel and Devil's Advocate which both launched at the South African National Arts Festival in Grahamstown to rave reviews, and the latter enjoyed a sold out run and standing ovations in its debut year in 2017. The talented comedian also writes for the multi-award winning TV satire news show, ZANews, ZANews' Puppet Nation,Point of Order on Showmax to name a few.
A sought-after MC, Campey can also be heard on the airwaves. She was offered her own weekly Comedy Hour on Smile 90.4FM, one of Cape Town's top radio stations, after a short stint on the Smile Drive, standing in for the regular drivetime host for three months. Campey's quick wit and easy laugh secured her a more permanent position and now she presents a comedy-centric show on Smile 90.4 FM every Sunday from 20h00 to 21h00 with fellow comedian Phil de Lange.

The current movements towards fresh and organic, farm to table, vegetarian and plant based diets have spilled over into the wedding and event industry. In addition to thinking about the food allergies of their guests, many wedding couples are now looking to cater to the dietary needs and lifestyles of their friends and family too.
If you are looking to have a vegetarian wedding and are searching for vegetarian venues, here are some tips to remember:
Rather than solely focusing on locating specific vegetarian venues for weddings, remember that your favorite vegetarian restaurant may be able to double as a wedding venue. If you have a favorite vegetarian restaurant, inquire to see if they are capable of hosting your wedding. If they are not equipped with enough event space, perhaps they can offer you off-site catering. It can't hurt to ask!
Many vegetarian venues will provide you with the opportunity to come in for a tasting to sample their vegetarian menu offerings. You will want to taste the foods that will be served at your wedding to ensure that you like the options available. Use the tasting as your chance to experience the menu and to put together the appetizers, main courses and side dishes that you think will please your guests. Don't forget about dessert!
Perhaps in your search for vegetarian venues you realize that you want to broaden your menu to include both vegetarian options and meals for your meat-eating guests. Most venues today will offer you several vegetarian appetizers and main course options to meet the needs of your vegetarian and meatless guests. Consult the caterer at your venue to discuss your needs in order to learn the options available to you.
Remember that within your AllSeated guest list, you have the ability to track the meal types of your guests. Consider asking guests when they RSVP to your wedding to let you know if they have specific meal requirements and dietary needs.
Showcase your venue in AllSeated's life-like, immersive, virtual reality technology which truly brings your property to life. Our VR uses 360 diagramming and is a genuine virtual reality tool that is able to bring venues the biggest ROI in the history of event technology!

Each area was helpful, professional, sympathetic, kind and, most of all, interested in the care of my husband. Your nurses are knowledgeable and always had time for my concerns. The caretakers in memory care became our family. They are more than caretakers, they love the people they are caring for and keep them safe.
My sincere thanks for all that work there and touched his life and mine.
I needed to find an assisted living facility for my 99 year old mom, as I could no longer care for her in my home. Mary [Removed] was magnificent in helping me to get Mom placed. Maristone has truly fit the bill, and I feel it is the right place for her. I like it because it is small, and all of the staff gets to know the residents quickly. When the receptionist, office staff, housekeepers, and even the plant supervisor all know the residents, one can be sure this is a staff who truly cares! I truly could not have found a better home for Mom!

Tom is an extraordinary horseman with a lifetime of experience in our industry. From starting colts to finishing high class performance horses, he is knowledgeable in every aspect. His facility is not only beautifully located...it is safe, well-maintained, and ever-improving! Most importantly, Tom cares about and dedicates himself to his horses and his customers. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to keep my very first horse....a two year old that I had started and bought through CSU, at Canyon Equine for 3 years before moving to Wyoming. I always felt at home there and never doubted that my horse was being given the very best care possible. Tom was there for me no matter what the crisis to be handled or triumph to be shared. He didn't just help me become a better trainer....he made me a better horseman. From riding lessons, helping me shoe my mare, getting through problems such as her pulling back or not wanting to load, talking to me about different kinds of training equipment and bits, teaching me the ins and outs of cattle work, to how to back up my trailer without making it an hour process lol.....Tom quickly became one of my biggest mentors and most wonderful of friends! I owe so very much to him and would recommend his program to anyone who loves their horses and wishes to take them to the next level! Five Stars!!!!! :)
-Mary Alice B.
Tom is awesome. I boarded with him for the majority of my time living in Fort Collins and he takes care of horses like they are his own. He's always lending a helping hand and truly builds relationships with his clients of all skill levels. A+ business!

I boarded and worked at Canyon Equine Center for 5 years. Most of what I know about horses I learned from Tom. I've worked with a lot of trainers and barn managers, and he's easily the best I know of.

BMW motorcycle enthusiasts from around the world are streaming into Minnesota this month as the state plays host to the 42nd BMW Motorcycle Owners of America (MOA) International Rally.
Expect an estimated 5,000-7,000 BMW brand enthusiasts on bikes, as well as multitude of RVs towing trailers loaded with bikes, to fill a seven-block portion of the Minnesota State Fairgrounds July 24-27, with the main festivities occurring on the five blocks between Hoyt Ave. and Dan Patch Ave.
The BMW MOA, based in Ballwin, Missouri, was formed in April 1972 as an all-volunteer organization with a mission to foster communication and promote camaraderie between individual members and dozens of BMW motorcycle clubs. Since then, the BMW MOA has grown to be the largest brand specific motorcycle club in the world that is not owned and operated by the marque.
Primary member benefits include direct member-to-member communication through forums, discounts with select vendors, a high quality magazine and website with events calendar, an awards program and towing service for premium memberships, and the International Rally held annually in July.
The International Rally site rotates throughout North America; previous rallies have been held in Montana, Colorado, Oregon, Illinois, New York, Connecticut and Ontario. The 2013 event was held in Salem, Ore., where Travel Salem and the Oregon Sate Fair & Expo Center were instrumental in attracting the MOA and an economic boost of approx. $5 million.
What's Happening
The International Rally is a great place to meet like-minded enthusiasts as well as visit with vendors who manufacture specialty items for BMW motorcycles, Karol Patzer, Rally Chair, told MMM.
"Attendees will be privy to more than 100 seminars, more than 100 vendors, entertainment that's primarily local, and a chance to meet with friends and 'family'," Patzer said.
Seminars range from fitness and riding tips to travelogues and travel planning, technical learning and service sessions, etc.
Riders in need of parts, garments or accessories will have a wealth of options to choose from, as there will be more than 100 vendors in attendance. Buy a Schuberth lid, or let the folks from Touratech attach your newly purchased luggage or suspension.
Want to plan two-wheel travel? There'll be representatives ready to fill you in on trips to Alaska, the Alps, Australia, the Balkans, Colombia, Costa Rica, the Czech Republic, Ecuador, Germany, Hungary, the Iron Range, New Zealand, Peru, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and more destinations.
As for entertainment, music is to be provided nightly by The Sudden Lovelys, Lamont Cranston, Jonah & The Whales, Crankshaft & The Gear Grinders, and The Mustang Sally Band.
BMW Motorrad will have more than two-dozen motorcycles available for guided test rides and offer demonstrations via the BMW Performance Center. There'll also be "Gears" training for young riders, as well as on- and off-pavement training for adults.
Local suppliers involved include Leo's South, Moon Motorsports and Dr. Mudspringer. They'll be joined on-location by retailers from California, Kentucky, Maryland and Missouri.
Closing ceremonies are in the Warner Coliseum. "That'll consist of some more entertainment riders are sure to enjoy, various awards, and the announcement of major door prize winners," Patzer said.
Meet The Locals
BMW owners like to ride. As a result, the Iron Butt Association has teamed up with the BMW MOA for a special SaddleSore 1000, with the ride finishing at the Rally site. Riders can begin anytime between 12:01 a.m. Saturday, July 19 and 11:00 a.m. Thursday, July 24 from any location more than 1,000 miles from St Paul. When registering for this special SS1000, you can simply enter the cities your route will use or select one of many predetermined start locations. For more information and to register, visit www.IronButt.com/moa
Riders also will be arriving in the Twin Cities as a part of the weeklong GS Giant Tour (www.GSGIant.com), an event that leads folks to the Rally site from along the Trans MN Adventure Trail, along the Trans WI Adventure Trail, and from across Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
As for day trips, BMW MOA has suggested visitors utilize the county roads of northern Washington County and MN 95 along the St. Croix River through the towns of Stillwater, Marine on St. Croix and Taylors Falls. Since there is some major construction happening in that area, MMM suggests visitors instead aim their wheel south out of St. Paul, on a 180-mile round trip to Nelson, Wis. Of course, any motorcyclist visiting Minnesota will want to make the 300-mile round trip blast to Point Park, Aerostich and other destinations in Duluth.
Wishes & More
Wishes & More serves as the Rally's main charity for 2014. Wishes & More was created in 2004 to fill the gaps of other wish-granting charities serving children with life-threatening or terminal illnesses. Their goal is to not only grant wishes to children, but also to fill other areas of need for this service population, from items such as nursery equipment and bedding to travel funds for grandparents unable to visit a sick child. The organization also provides a Scholarship of Hope to kids fortunate enough to be in remission, and present $1,000 scholarships to assist in furthering educations.
Sadly, there won't be an opportunity for the general public to walk the venue since everyone needs to be a registered attendee. Not registered? There's still time. The fee for MOA members is $50. The non-member Rally fee is $70. Children ages 6-15 enter for $10. Visit BMWMOA.org/TheRally.aspx for more information and registration.

Future of 2004 World Cup Finals still up in the air
The schedule for the 2002-2003 World Cup was finalized at the recent International Ski Federation (FIS) congress in Slovenia earlier this month, and Lake Louise was once again rewarded with five races at the start of the season.
"Opening the alpine speed season in Canada has become a tradition with FIS," said Alpine Canada president Ken Read. "Lake Louise has the best conditions for racing at that time of year and we have an amazing crew of volunteers and officials who make sure the course is fast and safe."
For the past four seasons, the Lake Louise World Cup downhill has belonged to Italys Isolde Kostner. The Canadian team, led by Melanie Turgeon, Emily Brydon and Anne-Marie LeFrancois will do their best stop the streak and maybe start a streak of their own.
On the mens side, the downhill was cancelled last year due to a scheduling problem stemming from the Olympics. The year before Austrias Hermann Maier was the man to beat.
The Canadian speed team is young, led by Erik Guay, Whistlers Jeff Hume, David Anderson and Jan Hudec. While the Hermannator has yet to reappear on the circuit since a serious motorcycle crash almost a year ago nearly cost him his leg, the Canadians should have their hands full with World Cup champion Stefan Eberharter and Olympic gold medallist Fritz Strobl of Austria.
At Lake Louise, there will be two mens downhill events, two womens downhill events, plus a womens Super-G.
The FIS Congress postponed a decision on whether Whistler would be awarded the 2004 World Cup Finals. They will make their final decision at the next FIS meeting in Switzerland in October.
Whistler is competing against Torino, Italy, and Garmisch-Partenkerchen, Germany for the World Cup finals.
Whistler didnt leave Slovenia empty-handed however, winning the right to host the 2005 FIS Snowboard World Championships.
