text: MISHAWAKA -- One of the items in Mayor Jeff Rea's office is a copy of the 1914 State of the City speech by Mayor Ralph Gaylor. It's a bound book, carefully preserved. There's a quote in it about natural gas prices going so high that "people are quite concerned." Rea may quote from that speech and one given in 1928 by Mayor Walter Michael when he gives his 2006 State of the City speech at the Common Council meeting Tuesday. There are 133 pages in Rea's speech. But, he said, he's not going to read the whole thing, just an "executive summary." "More than anything," Rea said of the entire speech, "it's the historical record. It's a document somebody picks up 50 years from now and knows what was going on." The tradition of long Mishawaka State of the City speeches had died out by the time Robert C. Beutter, Rea's predecessor, took over that office in 1984. He gave his State of the City speeches, usually a few pages long, at a meeting of the first service club that invited him to speak after the first of the year. Then, members of a predominantly Democratic Common Council became offended and passed an ordinance requiring that he unveil it at a second council meeting in February. "I started making it quite a production," he admits. The document became a record of just about everything that had happened in the previous year, along with some plans for the future. And, unlike Rea, Beutter read the whole document. It usually took about an hour and forty-five minutes. One similarity between the Beutter and Rea administrations is their department heads spend a lot of time getting their annual reports together in January and early February. The mayors use those reports to create the State of the City speech, or report. "The problem is, we did too much last year," City Planner Ken Prince was heard muttering this year. It took Rea a long weekend and a long Monday to finish his speech, and he took it to the printer Tuesday. Staff writer Sue Lowe: firstname.lastname@example.com (574) 235-6557

- The Greek technical default on the debt it owes the European Union.
- The crashing of the Chinese stock market.
In this show I review the criteria I've laid down, in the form of the economic benchmarks, for declaring that The Collapse has arrived. These include metrics for the US stock markets, unemployment, and gross domestic product.
We then look at the two situations, the Greek default and the China stock market crash, with an eye toward assessing the severity of their impact on the rest of the world.
Will either event "trigger" The Collapse we're expecting? Listen and find out!

Is This the Future of Senior Housing?
In survey after survey, older Americans say they want to live at home rather than move into assisted living or a nursing home. But what if assisted living and nursing home care were more homelike, with familiar staff and housemates? That's the goal of the "Small Homes Project" at St. John's Home in Rochester, New York, where administrators are nearly done converting a 455-resident high-rise from a typical, medicalized setting to a series of mini-homes styled as penthouse suites for small groups of residents. Is this the future of senior housing? And if so, how will residents and staffers benefit from this approach?
What inspired this new approach to senior housing?
The six-year St. John's Home conversion was inspired by Green House design, which uses freestanding houses and dedicated staffers to care for no more than 12 residents per home. St. John's tried the approach in a smaller community it owns and found that the results included better social connections for residents and much lower turnover among caregivers.
Rebecca Priest, administrator of skilled services at St. John's, gave a TEDx talk on the Small Homes approach and the future of senior care. In it, she describes residents' and staffers' food-gathering field trips into the nearby woods and even a hunting trip arranged for a resident during deer season near their pilot project site. Ms. Priest recently spoke with SeniorAdvisor.com about the high-rise senior living conversion project she's overseeing in Rochester.
What does Small Homes senior living look like?
"In an ideal world, we could move our residents into freestanding houses," Priest said, "but we're in the middle of a city in a high-rise. So we have each floor configured like two penthouse apartments, each with room for 16 elders. When you get off the elevator, instead of seeing a nurses' station, you walk into a lobby between the suites."
The changes go beyond a more home-like layout. Each suite has its own dedicated direct-care staff and a schedule that accommodates residents' needs. "Our residents told us they wanted to see the same caregivers every day and they wanted flexible mealtimes so they can, for example, sleep in without missing breakfast."
New residents have taken quickly to the Small Homes lifestyle, Priest said, while residents who were used to the institutional model have taken a few months to adjust. "Everyone's behavior has to change," she said. "But then no one wants to go back to the old way."
The changes benefit staffers, too. Priest noted in her TEDx talk that the number of seniors needing care will double by 2040 while the number of caregivers stays about the same. The industry needs to retain its caregivers with better pay and better career development, she said. This model is a way to do it, by training caregivers to take on more in-depth roles with a smaller number of clients.
How can you find or start a Green House or Small Homes project in your area?
You can search for local Green House communities here. If there are none nearby, Priest said finding like-minded community members and community groups is the key to getting one going. And no matter what kind of senior living options you have, Priest said, "remember that nursing home care should be a partnership between the staff and your family."

Hey Casey!
I like what you have mentioned but in my opinion home care is the best option for seniors to lead a healthy lifestyle while enjoying their independence without having to adjust timings according to the caregivers. In fact, the caregiver must follow the routine of seniors to allow them stay happy without over stressing their minds. They allow seniors to age in place with family and cherished memories around them.
Really nice approach! The small homes concept seems to be a great way to give the residents a homelike feel. I love that the staff remains the same for each group and that the residents can have better social connections and flexibility in their schedules.
I still select the Assisted Living as the best retirement care options for elderly love one. Because, only assisted living can provide a 100% care and monitor your health.
No Casey, Hong Kong is not the future of senior housing.

Research themes
Trade and industry
Research on trade and industry has long been a high priority for Project staff and PhD students. This work has included detailed studies of the trade policy regime (including pioneering estimates of effective rates of protection), the political economy of protection, sector-specific trade policies, export performance, Indonesia in the regional and global economy, general overviews of the industrial sector, the structure and performance of industry, industrial dynamics before and after crisis episodes, and industry case studies. Read more >>
Agriculture, resources and the environment
The Indonesian economy remains dependent on agriculture, resources and the environment, which provide a livelihood for many Indonesians. Appropriate policies in these areas could effectively benefit millions of Indonesians, lift the poor out of poverty and generate overall economic growth. Read more >>
Politics and governance
Fifteen years after Indonesia began its transition to becoming the world's third most populous democracy, democratic governance in the country has recorded remarkable achievements. For example, Indonesia is now judged by international agencies such as Freedom House to be the most democratic country in Southeast Asia. Read more >>
Social policy and human capital
Investment in human capital and public service delivery remain major policy concerns in Indonesia. Both public and private spending on health is relatively low, while the large increase in public spending on education in the past decade has yet to yield any positive impact. In addition, human capital investments in Indonesia face substantial challenges with regards to governance, inequality in access to public services, and quality of education and health care.

At What Cost Do We Want Green Homes?
"What do you consider to be the single most important factor in determining if a home is green?" Homeowners were asked this question in a recent study by FreeGreen. Hands down, the answer came down to finances. While green means different things to different people, homeowners are concerned with energy efficiency, but cost saving measures win out when they consider building green homes.
Homeowners were given a set of categories (below) from the LEED standards for green homebuilding. The US Green Building Council defines LEED as "The internationally recognized green building certification system, providing third-party verification that a building or community was designed and built using strategies aimed at improving performance across all the metrics that matter most: energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts."
These are the categories and the order of importance the homeowners chose after cost saving measures:
Energy Efficiency
Environmentally Friendly Materials
Renewable Energy
Natural Resource Efficiency
Healthy Materials
Innovation and Design
Here are some highlights from the study:
• Homeowners are thinking with their wallets. Given the economic crisis, this doesn't come as a surprise. Finances were overwhelmingly the factor that determined whether or not the people in the survey would build green.
• The study found that education begets conservation. Those with higher levels of education considered conserving natural resources an important factor. Respondents to the survey with post-graduate degrees were twice as likely to choose natural resource efficiency as the most important factor in determining green homes.
• Where the respondents resided made a difference. This also is not surprising. Earthquakes, fires, traffic and natural resource efficiency were 40% more important to residents from western states than eastern states.
• Healthy building materials were not much of a priority. In every demographic, "healthy materials" ranked remarkably low (from 3-5%). This is probably because of higher materials costs.
• Baby Boomers were by far the most statistically significant group in the survey to choose energy efficiency as their top priority with regard to greening their homes after cost.
FreeGreen is a free house plans provider. "FreeGreen was founded as a resource focused entirely on the residential consumer in helping them choose the plan and environmentally friendly materials to build a green home in language they understand and with an emphasis on energy efficiency." To learn more and to download a free green house plan, visit www.freegreen.com
It seems green building has many shades of green. Personally, like most baby-boomers, energy efficiency is important to me, but of course one of the reasons is because, I believe it is tied closely to cost effectiveness. All of the categories above are so important to human health concerns and the health of our planet. I am glad these conversations (survey) are happening. Every little step gets us closer to sustainability.
So, I'll ask you the question the folks in the survey were asked: "What do you consider to be the single most important factor in determining if a home is green?" Share with us how you make your home green.

The Seven Steps to Genuine ForgivenessFriday, August 7th, 2009
Life is a never-ending story of highs and lows. But if you can honestly and absolutely forgive the people who offend and deeply wound you along the way, the unavoidable slings and arrows of life are decidedly less piercing.
Foremost, it's imperative that you view forgiveness as a self-empowering tool – a liberating act done for your enduring benefit. Forgiving another human being allows you to unfetter an emotional ball and chain that you've been dragging around for all too long a time.
So, exactly where do you begin your forgiveness voyage? There are seven simple, but nonetheless profound, steps you can walk through to realize the rich benefits of genuine forgiveness. The journey starts with basic recognition:

My Stumped Spot
1 Attachment(s)
I always seem to get about this far on the tougher puzzles. Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you.
I took a stab at this one. Not completely sure that it's correct but it looks good.
As far as I can tell, your grid is correct so far.
Look at the two precedence clues 6 and 7.
Clue 6: 102 = Francisco + 1
Clue 7: Bobby = Willard + 1
If Bobby was 102, then Francisco and Willard would have to be associated with the same year, right? They would both be Bobby - 1 (or 102 - 1). They would both be in the same row just above Bobby's row.
Can't have that, so Bobby cannot be 102. He must be 85. And the rest falls into place.
I think the solution is 53124-25314-31452
Xenobia, I'm relieved that your solution matches mine. :)
I'm relieved too after seeing your solution! :)
Puzzles like this were ones that used to make me think that we had to guess to get some of the solutions.
Perfect. This solution is correct. I figured it out by guessing but I wanted to know the logic behind how to get there from here so to speak. I appreciate the help from both of you.

A percentage of all proceeds from our restaurant will go to a charitable cause near and dear to owner Asma Khan's heart.
Largely in traditional India, sons are still preferred over daughters. Second daughters are even less so. Instead of vibrant celebrations complete with fireworks and Indian mithai for welcoming boys, sometimes births of a second girl are mourned. And these innocent girls carry the hurt and disadvantage for the rest of their upbringings.
Asma, of Darjeeling Express, doesn't want these girls to ever feel like a burden to their families. They deserve the same opportunities and celebrations as any other sibling. And so, starting in Kurseong --a small town in the district of Darjeeling-- Darjeeling Express will send celebration packages for the birth of second daughter and continue to support her through her education.
If you would like to contribute, please visit the Second Daughter's fundraising page or feel free to drop by the restaurant, located in Kingly Court on Carnaby St.

If a sore throat and dripping nose, aching bones and fever, everything is clear — you have a cold or scientifically ARVI (acute respiratory infections).
What is it?
SARS is a group of diseases United by four common features.
All of them are infectious. Call them viruses.
The pathogens enter the body by droplet infection through the respiratory system.
Primarily with SARS suffer respiratory organs. No wonder the disease called respiratory, meaning "having breath".
All SARS are developing quickly and not last long.
Pathogens are transmitted through contact with a sick person through the air by coughing, sneezing, talking.

Development – Opportunities
In wartime and at peace, the commitment of service has been honored in the United States throughout its history. The current conflicts raise this sense of honor to new levels. But service means sacrifice large and small. Among the sacrifices made is the opportunity to develop budding talent. For an individual demonstrating a competency in musicianship, he or she must often place that interest and skill on hold in pursuit of service to this nation. At the same time there is a critical window in the development of musical skill and talent, from age 18 to 24 — an age that corresponds to military service. As a result, their skill and talent that will not be given the same opportunity afforded their non-serving peers. Then enters CAMMO as the intervention to give voice to the troops, support veterans in supporting veterans, and connect our communities.
Beyond the development of the artistic abilities, the musical entertainment industry offers a multitude of employment opportunities for service members as they complete their service to this nation. From recording to producing, promoting, and supporting the careers of a musician offers many opportunities, but carry the need for training and experience. Such career development opportunities are purposely developed through CAMMO centers and performances.
Perhaps most profoundly, the musicianship of the military service personnel represents a unique opportunity to share and connect. Military conflict has been a reality of the human experience throughout recorded history. At the same time, musicianship and music has been the central bond of humanity since the beginning of time. Music gives voice and finds common ground. It unites. For peer-to-peer support of military service personnel, veterans of armed conflict, and civilian communities alike, it is music that possessed the therapeutic power to find acceptance and understanding. At a time of an all-volunteer military in wartime, when a relatively small percentage of the American population personally experience the sacrifices of war, CAMMO's ability to leverage this connective power of music in our communities is raised to a higher level of importance. It facilitates a shared experience that goes beyond "honoring our heroes" and "yellow ribbons". Music allows us to see ourselves in each other, bridging the humanity and the rhythm we share.

Congratulations to Senior B Camogie Shield Champions!
Friday, January 27, 2017 in Loreto News
Loreto Senior Camogie team wins Dublin B Shield
The Senior Camogie team showed a great fighting spirit to win the Dublin Post Primary Schools Senior B Shield on January 20th.. After our quarter final got postponed due to bad weather before Christmas the girls faced a tough game against Jesus and Mary Goatstown straight after our return to school. We got a great start to this game when an interception by Sophie Nugent led to a great goal by Orlaith Martin. With Orla Buggy and Aoife Graham dominating at the back and Emma Deeley and Mikaela Griffin winning the midfield battle, we continued to create chances and points from Leah O'Reilly, Mikaela Griffin and Aine Purtill-Kalk with another Martin goal giving us a good lead at the break. Unfortunately, we didn't start the second half as well and Goatstown fought back with 3 goals without reply. This left the game in the balance as we headed into the last 15 minutes. However, Loreto finished strongly with an Emma Deeley point allowing us to retake the lead. Another Loreto goal followed by a Leah O'Reilly point meant we won on a scoreline of Loreto College 3-5 Jesus and Mary Goatstown 3-0.
In the Semi we were drawn away to St Colmcilles. We again had a good start with Carolyn McCarthy getting a point from our first attack. The game was closely contested throughout and scores were hard to come by. With Maeve O'Regan and Ruth Redmond winning lots of possession for Loreto, an Emma Deeley goal gave Loreto the edge at the break. In the second half both sides traded scores as Siobhan McCluskey and Aoibh McIntyre got points for Loreto. St Colmcilles struck for a goal to bring them back level but a Carolyn McCarthy goal restored the lead and she followed it up with the insurance point to give us a victory on a scoreline of Loreto College 2-4 St Colmcilles 1-3.
This meant that Loreto College would get the chance to take on Scoil Dara Kilcock in the Shield final. Once again the game was tightly contested throughout. With Leah O'Reilly and Ruth Redmond prominent at the back for Loreto College and Mikaela Griffin and Emma Deeley once again getting through a huge amount of work in the middle of the field, we began to create chances. Carolyn McCarthy struck 3 first half points before Orlaith Martin added a goal. Kilcock hit back with points of their own before Emma Deeley added a point to leave Loreto up by 2 points at the break. Shortly after the break Orla Buggy set up Aine Purtill-Kalk for another goal which was soon cancelled out by a Kilcock goal. The sides traded points with Carolyn McCarthy on the scoresheet for Loreto. This left us with a dangerous two point lead as we headed into the final few minutes. Kilcock kept piling on the pressure but a few great catches by Loreto goalkeeper Julie Donnelly kept them at bay and we held on to win on a scoreline of Loreto College 2-6 Scoil Dara Kilcock 1-7. This was a great victory for the Green as the girls worked really hard throughout the match and I lost count of how many times we made crucial hooks and blocks. The girls showed a great team spirit and it was great to see them getting their just reward for a series of impressive performances.
Loreto Senior Camogie 2017: Julie Donnelly, Orlaith Freaney, Elizabeth Murchan, Maeve O'Regan, Leah O'Reilly, Aoife Graham, Ruth Redmond, Mikaela Griffin, Emma Deeley, Aoibh McIntyre, Orlaith Martin, Siobhan McCluskey, Aine Purtill-Kalk, Carolyn McCarthy, Sophie Nugent, Orla Buggy, Caoimhe O'Reilly, Laura Furlong, Rebecca Noone, Ruth Allen, Clodagh Cullen, Kate Lanigan, Lauren Murphy.

The 83,000 fans who filled the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Friday night for the first of Bruce Springsteen's four concerts came to celebrate.
They stood in front of their chairs (or on them) and danced as the New Jersey-born rocker, performing in front of a huge American flag, opened the show with "Born in the U.S.A.," a rousing but complex song about a Vietnam veteran rallying against the disillusionment of returning home to indifference.
The audience moved even more energetically two songs later, when Springsteen and his seven-member E Street Band raced through "Two Hearts," an uplifting tune about renewing one's dreams.
With the audience's spirits so high, the last thing most rockers would do--especially in a vast stadium setting--is slow the pace for a series of stark social commentaries. But Springsteen's commitment to exploring failures--as well as victories--in America is what has helped make him the most acclaimed figure in U.S. rock since Bob Dylan in the mid-1960s.

I had only decided to sign up two months before the test date, so I didn't have much time to study.
On test day I only answered 37 questions, and it looks like I got most of them wrong. My score was sent to two reach schools, a good match, and a safety.
I think it's hilarious to hear people complaining about scoring in the 70th percentile, and not even acknowledging numbers below 60. I scored an order of magnitude lower (6%), so I'm not sure what others will infer about my abilities.
I have a fantastic professional and academic record, and (presumably) strong letters of recommendation. What's the proper tact to take with this result? Should I voluntarily send this to any other program?
EDIT: I should mention that I'm applying to Applied Math programs. Does that make anything better?

Researchers Propose US Offshore Wind Grid
Apr 13, 2010 - Elizabeth Boyle, UDel and Leslie Taylor, SoMAS
"Making wind-generated electricity more steady will enable wind power to become a much larger fraction of our electric sources," said the paper's lead author Willett Kempton, UD professor of marine policy in the College of Earth, Ocean, and Environment and director of its Center for Carbon-free Power Integration.
The research team — which also included UD alumnus Felipe Pimenta, UD research faculty member Dana Veron, and Brian Colle, associate professor in the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences at Stony Brook University — demonstrated thoughtful design of offshore wind power projects can minimize the impacts of local weather on power fluctuations.
The researchers analyzed five years of wind observations from 11 monitoring stations along the U.S. East Coast from Florida to Maine. Based on wind speeds at each location, they estimated electrical power output from a hypothetical five-megawatt offshore turbine. After analyzing the patterns of wind energy among the stations along the coast, the team explored the seasonal effects on power output.
"Our analysis shows that when transmission systems will carry power from renewable sources, such as wind, they should be designed to consider large-scale meteorology, including the prevailing movement of high- and low-pressure systems," Kempton said.
Colle explained the ideal configuration. "A north-south transmission geometry fits nicely with the storm track that shifts northward or southward along the U.S. East Coast on a weekly or seasonal time scale," he said. "Because then at any one time a high or low pressure system is likely to be producing wind (and thus power) somewhere along the coast."
The researchers found each hypothetical power generation site exhibited the expected ups and downs, but when they simulated a power line connecting them, the overall power output was smoothed so that maximum or minimum output was rare. In the particular five-year period studied, the power output of the simulated grid never completely stopped.
No wind turbines are presently located in U.S. waters, although projects have been proposed off the coasts of several Atlantic states. This research could prove useful as project sites are selected and developed.
Reducing the severity of wind power fluctuations would allow sufficient time for power suppliers to ramp up or down power production from other energy sources as needed. Solutions that reduce power fluctuations also are important if wind is to displace significant amounts of carbon-emitting energy sources, the researchers said.
The University of Delaware, the flagship institution of the state of Delaware, is one of the oldest Land Grant institutions in the nation, and one of only three institutions to also have Sea Grant and Space Grant status. The university is classified by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching as a research university with very high research activity — a designation accorded fewer than 3 percent of U.S. colleges and universities. The university is a state-assisted, privately controlled institution with an enrollment of more than 16,000 undergraduates, 3,500 graduate students and 1,000 professional and continuing study students.

LONDON (Alliance News) – Palace Capital PLC Thursday said it is raising GBP20 million in a placing of new shares to help fund the acquisition of a mixed use leisure scheme in Northampton, East Midlands, England.
Separately, Palace Capital reported a GBP13.9 million pretax profit in the year ended March 31, compared with GBP21.2 million in the prior year, as higher revenue was more than offset by lower gains on revaluation of investment property portfolios and higher administrative expenses.
The property investor said it is acquiring O&H Northampton Ltd, the owner of mixed use leisure scheme Sol Central, for GBP1, with the fundraising to go towards cutting the acquired company's debt of GBP20.7 million.
According to O&H Group Ltd, a privately owned business established in 1982 by Frank Shahmoon & David Gabbay, Sol is part of its portfolio.
In addition, Palace Capital has agreed a deal for O&H to take a term loan facility of GBP11.4 million from lender Santander.
The fundraising, which along with the acquisition is conditional on shareholder approval, will consist of the placing of 5.6 million new shares at 360 pence each.
Sol Central is 13 years old, 190,000 square feet and the home of tenants including a hotel and cinema. It generate net rental income of GBP1.89 million per annum. Its net initial yield is calculated at 8.86%, while the weighted average unexpired lease term is 13.7 years to expiry.
"In addition to benefitting from a number of exciting developments nearby, the board is confident that the company's active management should enhance the prospects for this asset, increasing income and adding capital value," Chief Executive Neil Sinclair said in a statement.
"Alongside managing our growing portfolio, we continue to seek out further acquisition opportunities that satisfy our criteria and have the potential to produce returns that we can recommend to our shareholders," Sinclair said.
Palace Capital shares were flat at 380 pence on Thursday.

However, when the snow stopped the wind swung south west so I headed back to the main slope and gave the Extreme another go. There was more lift this time but well out from the slope and not much close in. There was just not enough of a ridge to get my Extreme going well.

Airbrush Tanning
Give your skin a Lux glow with only the best organic and naturally derived ingredients. We use Sjolie Sunless airbrush tanning solution. Each tan is customized and catered to suit your specific needs.
Your tan will glow for 7- 10 days with proper prep and after care!
Single Airbrush Session - $40
Airbrush Package - 3 for $99
( makes each tan $33)
Pre/post tan instructions are provided below to ensure you get the best airbrush experience!
12-18 Hours prior to your visit - SHOWER, SHAVE/WAX and EXFOLIATE using a loofa or scrub glove. Do Not use soaps to cleanse your skin (they often leave residue that may affect the outcome of your tan) instead use your shampoo to clarify your skin.
- Day of your airbrush tan - Please arrive with clean, shaved/waxed and exfoliated skin.
- NO makeup, oils, lotions or deoderant on your skin.
- Remove all jewelry, watches, and belly piercings. Bring very lose clothing (preferable black) to wear after your airbrush tan. This is very important.
- No clothing should be worn that sticks to the skin or the sunless tan will rub off onto your clothes. You don't want anything to come into contact with your skin for at least the first hour after the sunless tan application.
- After your Airbrush Tanning service - Wait at least 8-10 hours before taking a shower. Eight hours is minimum. The longer you can wait to shower the better.
- Don't touch any water within the first 4 hours of receiving the spray tan or appliying the self tan. Be very careful particularly if it is raining, washing hands or bathing children. Water will stop the DHA from processing further and will cause the sunless tan to have uneven streaks.
- Moisturise every morning and night after the spray tan, self tan or airbrush tan. Preferably with a moisturiser that contains DHA (Dihydroxyacetone- ingredient that makes your skin tan). Spa Lux is a proud retailer Of Sjolie Sunless after care products to ensure long lasting results!
- PRO TIP - When using a moisturizer with DHA it will act like a 'top up' for your tan and will prolong the life of your tan. If you don't have a moisturizer with DHA use a thick hydrating moisturizer twice a day.
- Use gentle cleansers and soaps (glycerin bar is best) in the shower. Don't use body cleansers that contain any harsh ingredients for example AHAs or BHAs like Retin-A, bucolic or Salicylic acids.
- After showers, dry gently with a towel - don't rub! Its best to pat dry.
- Strenuous exercise should be avoided for as long as possible on the day of your service especially, before you shower. Again, the DHA will stop processing on the areas you have been sweating and this will cause an uneven sunless tan.
- Always wear sunscreen! Your airbrush tan does not contain sunscreen. It will not protect you from the suns harmful rays!
Group/Event pricing - $200
This is great for girls night out, bridal parties, high school dances or special group events!
*The tanning will take place at Spa Lux (inside W Salon Suites) where you will have the LUX experience! Relax in a quiet spa-like atmosphere or bring champagne, snacks and music to enjoy while waiting for your turn to tan!
**(Groups must be a minimum of 5 people - Host will receive a free tan at time of check out!)**
Cancellation policy -
Less than 24 hour notice or no show is 50% of the service due on or before next appointment. For groups of 2 or more a 48 hour cancellation is required! NO EXCEPTIONS!

How to Buy Goods From ChinaChina is well on its way toward becoming the second-largest economy in the world after the United States. It is this remarkable economic growth that has been as a result of a robust manufacturing industry that has propelled this country to these heights. Goods from the Peoples Republic of China are very cheap and are in high demand. Any business person looking to make some tidy profits should be looking at the Far East as a source of goods like clothing, jewelry and household appliances.

Promoting Your Winter Resort Or Hotel: Wholesale Hats, Scarves And MittensWinter resorts and hotels located near winter sports hot spots need to constantly promote themselves because they're usually in direct competition with other resorts and hotels. If your resort is a popular destination for winter sports enthusiasts, you'll need to stand out from the crowd to capture the lion's share of the market. You may already have special discounts for ski lifts, discount coupons, and other standard marketing tools, but so does every other resort. Offering free gifts such as wholesale hats to each of your guests is a great way to stand out from the crowd. Wholesale Hats, Gloves and Mittens As Gifts Giving a gift to your guests is only as successful as the quality of the gift you choose. Typical marketing standbys like imprinted pens or plastic water bottles won't make an impression, but wholesale caps can capture your guests' attention in style. Almost everyone can remember losing a hat or gloves when they've gone s
Important Factors to Get Car Stereo Wholesale DiscountsAs the consumer or dealer there are several important considerations about car stereo wholesale discounts that you should consider before making a decision to buy from a wholesaler. First of all, the wholesale merchant should be a licensed to legally operate. A certificate of confidence openly displayed in their advertisement can verify this fact. A qualified wholesaler will have nothing to gain by concealing their validity and should not find it hard to prove that there are licensed and a verified legal store. There is nothing more unsettling than to deal with unstable merchants. A verifiable and qualified online wholesaler will ensure that you are protected and your goods obtain in confidence and efficiently. Another factor to take into consideration is the wholesaler needs to be reliable and honest. Honesty and transparency are qualities that customers need from wholesalers in order to conduct business with confidence. There are man

A Death To Popularity Contests: Short Horror Fiction Edition February 1, 2009 - March 3, 2009
Reading and Deliberating
Because after all, it's about the talent right? Lately, it's become clear that alot of contests are made to circle in on a certain group, genre, judged by a writing group and by votes from all the readers. Seem fair? Well it could be. Except for the fact that the winner always seems to be that dude with the billion friends and the banner over his/her profile that reads: VOTE FOR ME!
Now let's get to brass tax. Not here. I will read ALL entries, submit feedback/reviews on all entries, rate all entries, and ultimately pick the final three. No games. Just well told stories. Horror Fiction applies. Max 2 submission per artist.
This contest starts taking submissions a day after the Story Edition closes as due to the high amount of contestants, it would be almost impossible for me to read, review, and rate them all thoroughly. Check that one out if you're antsy to submit something!
NOTE: Since I know that if I select a genre on the list it can create problems with your submissions so I'm going to leave it open to all genres so you don't have to go in and edit your story, but please be aware that this is for HORROR FICTION ONLY. Anything else will be bumped, and I might leave you and angry note.

I like the illustrations in this book because they are colorful, bright and with mixed colors. I like it when the prince came and changed the frog into a woman. The character I like best is the frog, because she doesn't lie.
I recommend this book to people who like frogs because the story is all about frogs. I think first graders will like this book because it has easy words.

These crayons have a huge redeeming value, in my opinion. While being pretty awful for regular coloring, they make excellent scribble cookies. The cheap crayons tend to be smaller and easier to break into bits (one of the reasons they do not work the best for coloring), which is great for scribble cookie prep work. Also, their wrappers tend to come off easier than the good crayon wrappers (Crayola, for example, which does a double layer of wrapper), again, making them ideal for scribble cookies. I'm not suggesting that you buy cheap crayons, but if you happen to be given them, hang on to them and give them a new life as scribble cookies.
Anyway, I scooped up all of these crayons, took all the wrappers off, sorted them into bowls by colors, and then decided to try out my new bunny-shaped Wilton silicone mold that I found on clearance at Target after Easter for just $3. The silicone mold worked very well, and once they were cool, I was able to pull the scribble cookies out easily, with no wasted muffin cups like when I make them in muffin tins (which is still a great method, I am just happy to have had success using a mold!). The end result made me quite happy, lots of colorful bunny crayons, which I think will make good gifts. Also, I think black, white, gray, and brown bunnies are cute, whereas these colors of regular scribble cookies seem a bit on the blah side. I may keep these fun bunny cookies on hand since I am still hoping to do a busy bag swap, and I know they could be perfect for that.
|{In the process of filling the mold...}
- broken crayon bits
- sharp knife (optional)
- silicone bunny mold (or other shape)
- cookie sheet (optional)
- oven set to 275 degrees Fahrenheit
- bowls for sorting crayons (optional)
- Gather up all your broken crayon bits or cheap-o crayons if it's time to get rid of those. (Tip: I usually save these in a bowl as they accumulate and then use them when we have enough for a project.)
- Make sure all papers are removed. I usually just do this while I am saving them, but since this was a spur-of-the-moment decision to use up the cheap-o crayons, I had a bit of paper peeling to do. Kids can also help with this step.
- If the pieces are too big, break them into smaller pieces. Kids can help with this. Adults can also use a sharp knife for this. (Tip: As I am breaking them, I like to sort them into bowls by similar colors: blues together, greens together, reds together, etc. You do not need to do this, but I don't see the purpose of making a couple dozen or so of mixed-up crayons. Even if they are all a bit different, they're still essentially the same. This way, we end up with crayons with blends of assorted hues of the same color, which the OCD side of me appreciates.)
- Preheat your oven to 275 degrees. (ADULT USE ONLY)
- Fill the silicone bunny mold with broken bits of crayons. Kids can definitely help with this step. You can fill them almost all the way to the top. (Tip: Before baking, I like to the mold onto a cookie sheet. This makes it much easier to take them in and out of the oven without spilling crayons or melted wax.)
- Bake for 12-15 minutes at 275 degrees. Scribble cookies do not have to be completely liquefied, just melted enough so that there are no big chunks remaining. Set aside to cool completely. This took about an hour for this batch.
- Once scribble cookies are cool, you can peel them out of the molds, by inverting them, pushing them inside out if needed. These recycled crayons are fun to color with, and they also make nice homemade gifts. (Tip: Just make sure to supervise young children. Scribble Cookies do look like treats, and I still catch Logan, at 3 1/2 eating them at times.)

|The Get Gout Fast Diet
|Villefranche Sur Mer
|View from the train
|Villefranche Sur Mer
|Bird of Paradise
With the three things out of our system we hobbled out of France and into Italy.
We dropped our car off at the train station where we picked it up and I learned a lesson in saying "no". Keith was barely mobile, only having been able to rest his foot for one day rather than the prescribed three before having to move on. We each had a roll-a-way suitcase and a backpack to carry through the Aix TGV Station, find the correct track and board the train. Normally this would be no big deal but under the circumstances it was a major obstacle. So when I went into the Avis office to give them their keys and the attendant told me I had to park the car in a specific location I just said "No". "Sorry, Madame, you must park it in the specified spot, you cannot leave it here". A simple but firm response worked amazingly well. "No, sorry, I've got enough to deal with you'll have to do it". I must have had the look of someone who'd come through the flood and lived to tell about it, because he didn't push it (lucky for him). Besides, why are they asking me to do their work, aren't I the customer.
We did it, we got ourselves on the correct train albeit very slowly. It turned out that a four hour train ride on SFC through the French Riviera was just the ticket. French TGV trains are a luxury - fast and extremely comfortable. And as an aside: French passengers are extremely polite when it comes to cell phone etiquette. When they receive a call they answer quietly, leave their seats and take the call in the luggage car. Could we not adopt this custom here?
Our French train trip ended in the very pretty town of Villefranche Sur Mer. It was still raining when we got there but with a little help and an outrageous cab fare we made it to our hotel which was run by a 70-something Bridget Bardot wannabe. The hotel was cheap, sort of clean(ish) and thats about all I can say about it. It was good enough for the night and for $60 Euros in the French Riviera I had no right to expect more.
By that evening Keith could hobble around with less pain so we went on a slow ramble to see what could be seen and to buy a rain-coat and umbrella (things I could also use back home in Vancouver).
The next morning we caught the train once more to take us to the Cinque Terre on the Ligurian coast of Italy. The French rail trains only go as far as the border town in Italy and then you leave all comfort behind and board Trenitalia who's trains are just one notch up from rural trains in India (the only difference being that no one is riding outside on the top of the train.
The Italian border town is called Ventimillia and it is really astounding how in just a few kilometres you go from things looking and sounding French, to things looking and sounding Italian. Suddenly Bon Jours are swapped out for Buon Giornos - which was a very happy thing to my ears.
We had a bit of time until we caught our train to Riomaggiore so we ventured out of the station and found a little cafe close by that offered wifi (a traveller's boon) along with cappuccini. We ordered some breakfast but due to Keith's gout diet he couldn't eat yeast. When the cafe owner heard this she disappeared and returned a few minutes later with some yeast-free bread for his breakfast and even made him a sandwich to take for his journey. It was this kind gesture (along with the sounds and tastes of Italy) that re-kindled our trampled travelling spirits. To think that just a day before we were seriously considering pulling the pin on this trip. We were so glad we hung in.

In the first episode, which aired Monday 16th May, Eileen Sheehan, a mother of three from Moyross in Limerick, meets award winning author Alice Taylor from Inishshannon in West Cork. Together, they visit places that evoke strong memories and lead to Eileen revealing stories from her past that her own family didn't even know.
Eileen says that her difficulty with reading and writing held her back all her life. "I was always hiding it and keeping it from people – that in itself is an awful lonely place to live. The minute I'd even see someone taking out a biro or a form, the shutters would be up. I remember I was asked would I like to become a waitress but I said no because you'd have to write down orders and I couldn't do that," she says.
With the help of Alice Taylor, she learns how to turn her thoughts and feelings into words on a page. "It's a bit like two horses going out to plough together that never ploughed before...we will have to achieve a certain harmony of thought between us to find a common ground," says Alice before meeting Eileen at her home. "Writing your story...it's a daunting challenge," says Alice.
After a few weeks working together, they produce a piece that Eileen then reads to friends and family. "I'm very proud of myself, I have to say," says Eileen of her experience. "She teaches you that with courage you can overcome anything," says Alice.
Eileen could never have attempted to write down her story except for the fact that she returned to education in Moyross Adult Education Group four years ago after a lifetime of covering up her literacy difficulties. "You always hear the bad things about Moyross, you never hear the good things. and there are good things," says Eileen. Returning to education inspired Eileen to get more involved in the local community and she is now a team leader in Rainbows, an after- school group for bereaved children, and she also volunteers with local elderly people while still attending her 'Spongecakes and Spellings' class.

I need a custom 3D bar graph wherein each bar shows a decrease of red as the black increases, with nice lighting effects.
My client is a collections agency with a new identity,
specializing in healthcare past-due receivables collections.
We would like to create a custom 3-D bar graph that
represents what they accomplish for their clients, that is, the amount of
past-due receivables (debt, red) reduces and converts to cash (black).
So I am interested in a graphical
depiction of the red amount decreasing while the black amount increases.
There are many examples of 3D bar graphs on iStockphoto that have the right idea.
- Each Bar Graph should include the company colors - Black and PMS 199 Red
- Photoshop or Illustrator format
- White background

In a sting worthy of NBC's To Catch a Predator, FBI agents took down one of the most notorious pedophiles in the world.
Antonio Cardenas had fled to Mexico after video of him repeatedly molesting a 7-year-old boy became the most popularly traded child pornography in the world. But he was lured back to Utah by an invite to a kiddie birthday party.
He was basically scot-free, but couldn't resist the temptation to return to see his victim again. He had no idea the parents knew what he had done and were working with the FBI to finally nab him.
The abuse began when the boy, who suffers from a learning disability and was teased by classmates, joined a mentoring program and was partnered with Cardenas. Instead of helping the poor kid, he molested and raped him, AND FILMED IT! He gave the tape to a friend who posted it on the Internet.
What really enrages me is that he was a mentor. It's as though pedophiles like him and Jerry Sandusky are cut from the same cloth. They get into positions where they are supposed to nurture children but instead prey on them. Stomach turning, isn't it.
We teach our children to be leery of strangers and in their mind, these monsters are not the people who are there to help and guide them. But from seemingly harmless volunteers to world renowned sports figures, these fiends come in every form. How can parents know who to trust?
How can parents protect children from monsters like this?

Though his wife jokes about how he's never lived outside of his bubble, this local boy is proud of it. "People from around the country automatically assume I'm nice. 'Minnesota Nice' is a nationally recognized reference," he says. Bester's son Hunter, age 16 months, requires a feeding tube, "but he is the happiest little boy in the world," Bester says, and life in the Twin Cities couldn't get much nicer. "I have two wonderful children and a successful career that I love."

Want to share your love for dachshunds without your friends and family thinking you're a bit nuts?
Invite them along to High Tea at the Pagoda Resort and Spa on Saturday 13 June and show them that even crazy dachshund ladies (and gents) can drink tea with their pinky out.1 Well, maybe don't phrase it to them in those exact terms, but you get the idea.
Tea, cakes, tablecloths, people on their best behaviour, that kind of thing. It is also a special opportunity to sit down, eat and drink without being watched by 'they never feed me and I'm starving down here' beautiful, big brown eyes.
This is a human only event, with food for humans, but funds raised go to the dogs (Dachshund Rescue Australia) so everyone wins.
Tickets are $49 each and there are vegetarian and gluten free options available.
This is not a members only event. Please invite friends, family, neighbours, colleagues - anyone who likes a scone and finger sandwich. Get together a group of ten to book a table to yourselves, or come solo, in a couple or more. Tickets are strictly limited so avoid disappointment and buy yours online now.2
1) There will be a raffle, silent auction and perhaps some games so it is slightly possible that some of your friends will get to laugh at how crazy some of the other dachshund people are, but in comparison think about how positively normal you'll look...
2) Steak knives are not included in this offer. Steak is also not included, nor are liver treats, schmackos or bones. Stop looking at me like that Smudge - YOU ARE NOT INVITED.

Text messaging is the trendiest means of interaction for college students: studies reveal that people aged 18-29 send SMS more than any other age group, and use their mobile phones more for text SMS than anything else.
Use text SMS to send reminders each time a limit for a form reaches. Use it to arrange student's meetings with their consultants. SMS chat can even decrease the number of student analyst appointments, as students do not have to go via the problem of booking an appointment. Once an appointment is done, a reminder SMS can be delivered that assures students make it to convene with their consultant.
Use text messages for colleges to send mementos as submission limits reach. Text SMS can even be employed to assist students in scheduling, verifying, and attending meetings with their consultants. With text SMS services administrators can even text with numerous students immediately to arrange and verify appointments and even reply easy questions generally preventing the requirement of seeing an analyst in the initial place.
Colleges work hard to congregate events that engage students and make them an active part of it. But, it can be hard to get advice on campus events. Students are not probable to fill up and reply to an email review, for instance. And, they are even less interested to fill up a hardcopy review. So, for communicating with students there are different SMS plugins available like WordPress SMS plugin India, OpenCart plugin, etc., which colleges can use for effective communication.

Enjoy a few photos of a beautiful Sunday afternoon trip down the Sangamon River from Gudgel Bridge to the boat ramp at Lincoln's New Salem. During the three hour float, we watched the bald eagles that kept an eye on us, along with any fish near the surface. It was the perfect weather and a chance for friends to relax and enjoy nature. For those wanting to experience the river, but may feel more comfortable with others during their first trip, tours can be arranged and canoes provided.
Lincoln Heritage Water Trail
The race was a success, despite the threat of rain. However, temps were in the low 80s and some of the trees started to show their true colors. Following the race, there was food and refreshments at the host site, Riverbank Lodge in Petersburg. Two bands and two local singers provided great entertainment from mid afternoon until late in the night. The inaugural event was a great time and the sponsors look forward to another race next year. Please check out the short videos below to see highlights of the race, the participants and the volunteers.
- Abe's River Race: The Participants
The 2014 race was postponed from its original June 28 date due to high water. The August 30 race was held following several days of heavy rain. Thus the river appears a bit muddy as compared to its normal look. A record number participated in the day-long event. Racers competed in nine categories on the 13 mile course while an equal number enjoyed a leisurely 8 mile float. Following the race, there was food, wine and beer tasting from a local brewer and winery, an awards ceremony and live entertainment into the evening. RiverBank Lodge in Petersburg served as the host site and a great time was had by all. Listed below is a two minute video about the race, followed by two slideshows. Enjoy!
Watch as people play in the ripples on a sunny Sunday afternoon on the Sangamon River south of Petersburg, Illinois.

Hello Knotty Fans! We hope July has been bright and sunny for everyone! Itx been a little crazier for me coz besides our growing ongoing classes, itx my little Edda's 4th Birthday this month! So glad I haven't "lost my edge", & managed to crochet this sweet blouse & her Frozen Snowflake Charm in time for her Frozen-themed party :D This lovely smile just made all the hard work absolutely worthwhile :)
To our new fans who had just joined us over at our crafting studio at Orchard Plaza, we are excited to have you with us on this crafty journey and we are definitely looking forward to sharing your knitting & crochet journey.
We continue to be thrilled to see all the amazing creations our existing Knotty Fans have been crocheting & knitting up at our studio, and it always brightens up everyone's day when we get to see their completed amazing "works-of-heart". And sometimes, when Knotty Fans send me photos of their completed "secret projects", which they work independently at home, I can't help but glee with joy & pride! Thank you for sharing your joy! :D
While you continue to wrap the yarn around your needles, let's chat a bit about KNITTING. Some of u asked me who invented knitting?
How interesting whenever we speak about knitting, a stereotyped image of an old granny clicking those needles away on a rocking chair appears in that little thinking cloud! Oh no, there is no rocking chair over at Knotty Bicsie studio, or at least not now …… but who knows? :P
Now, who says the men don't get it?? :P
Some hard facts according to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_knitting), it was believed to have been originated from Middle East (Egypt) and the earliest evidence was related to a resemblance of knitted socks, even though there weren't any concrete clues to knitting's age. While the craft of knitting transmitted across the globe, items like knitted cushions, stockings and garments etc. were among the knitted works produced.
Now let's fast forward to our modern world. Knitting continues to be a therapeutic hobby among people of all ages and genders all over the world. Exciting & Interesting yarns, paired with cool patterns, techniques and stitches available today, we are constantly inspired to create our very own one-of-a-kind masterpieces!
ALL of you have assumed that knitting & crochet are my passion. Hence Knotty Bicsie was born. Truth is, my passion is actually in the process of creating & making things from scratch. I just happened to have discovered knitting & crochet some 8years ago, when my soul was starving to MAKE MAKE MAKE! And so, knitting & crochet became a therapeutic medium to satisfy that hunger & craving to just CREATE! Well, the rest, like what they always say, is history. J And this is why I always tell people that Knotty Bicsie is a "happy accident"! ;) Nonetheless, knitting and crochet has indeed given me huge sense of contentment, accomplishment, satisfaction & completeness! Totally indulging in & grateful for this amazing journey…
Fingers itching already? Sounds too tempting? Let's put on some music, make your favourite cuppa, sink into your favourite couch, and ENJOY some wonderful knitting and crochet today! ;D

"I am so grateful and excited about where my personal art journey has taken me, and I'm looking forward to seeing all the opportunities the future has in store!"
-Krystle Missildine
Krystle Missildine is an artist based in Prattville, Alabama, although she is originally from the west coast, spending many years in both California and Washington state. She is a self-taught artist who has had a love for art her entire life, but only got serious about her passion after the birth of her daughter in 2011 when she became a stay-at-home mom.
Along with her love of art she has an immense fondness for animals, as is evidenced by her specialization in pet portraiture and owning of two adorable mixed-breed dogs and five birds: two cockatiels, a peach-faced lovebird, a green-cheeked conure, and a budgie.

It is very hard to stay motivated to eat healthy and workout during the holiday season. Don't be like the majority of people and gain 10lbs during the holiday season. Being inactive, drinking and eating more than usual, you can easily be a part of this grim statistic. Last week I had a healthy holiday party. I had some healthy versions for some of your typically high calorie and high fat foods. Her are a few of the recipes.
Makes: 6
Serving size: 1/2 cup
Prep 10 mins
Cook 45 mins
• 1/4 cup wild rice
• 1 3/4 cups water
• 1/4 cup regular brown rice
• 1 teaspoon instant chicken bouillon granules
• 1/8 - 14 teaspoons ground sage or nutmeg
• 2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
• 1/2 cup sliced celery
• 3 green onions, sliced
• 1/4 cup sliced almonds or pine nuts, toasted (optional)
Rinse uncooked wild rice in a strainer under cold water about 1 minute. In a medium saucepan combine wild rice, the 1-3/4 cups water, uncooked brown rice, bouillon granules, and sage or nutmeg. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
Add mushrooms, celery, and green onions. Cook, covered, over medium-low heat for 25 minutes more or until vegetables are just tender, stirring frequently. If desired, stir in almonds or pine nuts. Use to stuff a 3-1/2- to 4-pound broiler-fryer chicken or serve immediately.
Make Ahead Tip
Place stuffing into a 1-quart casserole and chill for up to 24 hours. Stir in 1/4 cup water. Bake, covered, in a 375 degrees F oven about 30 minutes or until heated through.
Braised Seasoned Brussels Sprouts
Makes: 4 servings
Prep 15 mins
Cook 10 mins to 12 mins
• 1/2 teaspoon mustard seed
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin seed
• 1/2 teaspoon fennel seed
• 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
• 1 dried Thai red pepper, crushed, or 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• 8 ounces Brussels sprouts, halved (2 cups)
• 1/3 cup chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped cashews or peanuts
• 2 teaspoons sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
Lightly coat a medium saucepan with olive oil or nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add mustard seed, cumin seed, and fennel seed. Cook and stir for 30 seconds. Reduce heat to medium. Stir in ginger, red pepper, and Brussels sprouts. Add broth and cook, covered, 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, till Brussels sprouts are tender.
To serve, stir in nuts, vinegar, and salt.
Roasted Kale and White Bean Dip
Toss 4 cups cut uncooked Kale with 1 T olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast it on a baking sheet at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes. Toss occasionally to make sure it doesn't burn. In a food processor combine the kale (once cooled) with 1 can of white beans (drained and rinsed), 1tsp each of fresh thyme and rosemary, 1 tsp minced garlic, and 1/3 cup low-fat cream cheese. Process until smooth. Serve with a tray of roasted colorful vegetables.
Twice Baked Yams
Bake 3 large yams in the microwave 4-5 minutes per side. Cut the yams in half lengthwise. Scoop the innards out of one of the yams and discard the skin. Scoop the majority of the innards out of the other two yams leaving a lining around the skin to keep them sturdy. Using a food processor or masher, combine the yam innards with ¼ cup low-fat cream cheese, 1 T olive oil 1tsp cinnamon and ¼ tsp nutmeg. Scoop the mixture back into the four yam skins and sprinkle with 2 T crushed pecans. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes.

Pumpkin Pie Martini. Yeah, I know. It's as good as it sounds. There are several pumpkin liqueurs on the market, which are convenient, but add a ton of calories. By using the actual squash, you get the flavor without the calories—and, believe it or not, a little fiber in your drink.
◦ 6 oz. vanilla-flavored vodka
◦ 6 oz. canned unsweetened pumpkin
◦ 4 oz. fat-free condensed milk
◦ 4 oz. unsweetened almond milk (or fat-free milk)
◦ 4 Tbsp. pumpkin pie seasoning
◦ Ice cubes
◦ 6 crushed reduced-fat vanilla wafers
Place vodka and pumpkin in a bowl, and stir until pumpkin has dissolved. Stir in condensed milk and almond milk. Add seasoning and stir well. Dip rims of glasses in crushed vanilla wafers. Pour liquid over ice into glass and enjoy. Makes 6 servings.

Blitzen's Bliss. Given that Blitzen is the final reindeer in the lineup, he probably gets knocked around a fair bit by the sleigh over the course of Santa's travels on Christmas Eve. But once they're done circumnavigating the globe, Blitzen comes home and has a few of these, and it's all good. Not only does he feel better, but since they have just 130 calories apiece, he doesn't feel all bloated for his Christmas dinner the next day.

Not only do you need to keep an eye on your diet you need to stay focused in the gym. It may be a good idea to sign up for a 10K or Half Marathon in December or January to keep you focused on training.
When headed out to a holiday party don't go hungry. Make a plan to meet someone in the morning for a run so you are forced to limit the amount of cocktails you drink.
Good luck!

I'm so angry and I don't want to let you go. But I also know that is not what you would want for your Mama. I have carried you from the start of your beating heart to the moment that it stopped and I carry you still. In three days every trace of you will be gone but you will remain implanted in my heart. I don't understand why and when I look at your beautiful big sister the burn stings deeper. I want to hurt on the outside as much as I do on the inside sometimes. I want it to show, I'm so tired of being strong and I don't want to be silent.
You two would have been so close. I close my eyes and I see her bringing me your diapers and I see the two of you running through the back yard, you still wobbly on your feet like she is today. It would have been a crazy and wonderful ride for us all. But there were different plans for you, my love. I saw your beating, tiny heart weeks ago and you consumed me at that very moment. I finally understood and was confident that I could love someone as much as I love my first.
I carried you every single second of your life and I will love you for every remaining second of mine. What a privilege it has been to be your Mom.
I promise to not be bitter and to continue to hope for more blessings in the future. For you and for your family here with me I am going to resolve to leave the anger and emptiness behind. It the hardest thing I have ever had to do, saying goodbye to you.
You are in good hands. Your great grandparents are experts in love and support. It makes me so joyful to think of you being held and guided by them. It is the only way I can cope. What were their faces like when they saw you for the first time? Are you with your older sibling who joined them in 2013? I can only imagine.
I know you are waiting for your Dad and I. It seems so cruel that we should have to wait so long to see you. But we have a job to do until then and I promise we won't forget you. We will hold you in our hearts until we can hold you in heaven.
My sweet little love, I miss you so much. You are one of the greatest "what ifs" of my life and your time with me has been so special. My heart hurts so badly and I wish your plan was what I had planned. I don't have the words to close because I don't want to have to say goodbye, or even see you later.
So I will just say that I love you.
