The Void V03P watch is the company's first women's watch. The Ladies V03P watch is expressed in modern, delicate Scandinavian aesthetic. This timeless accessory is made for women who favour enduring, contemporary style and simplistic design. Featuring a stainless steel-copper 28mm-in-diameter and 8mm thickness case, which is neither too big nor too small – just the right size, the watch is for ladies who appreciate creativity, innovation, and independent spirit over fashion. Available in different numbers of colors and explicit finishes, the design gives the watch a jewelry touch. The V03P is also classically timeless and can live beyond every season.
The Ladies V03P also features a simple face with minute and hour hands that possess a luminescent fill and narrow leather strap. This timepiece is also a scaled-down version of the brand's previous designs and its oversized crown easily and conveniently adjusts time.
Arguably modest in terms of size, the V03P is bold with interesting numberless design and comes with classically vintage-inspired details. With the "P" in VO3P meaning "Petite", the watch has contemporary features like the oversized push button and watch dial. The luxury watch is completely complimented by a slim (14mm), white-coloured strap toned with rose gold. This strap set into the lugs is produced from premium leather and thanks to the Japanese-made quartz precision movement within, the VOID V03P watch is reliably and accurately crafted. With a water resistance of up to 5 atm, this amazing watch comes with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty.
Other color combinations that this very nice looking V03P women's watch comes with include the stainless steel and black strap as well as the gold tone and a brown strap.

Part I :-
My Internet Service provider (henceforth referred to as ISP) is repeatedly mailing me to get free antivirus package :-)
"By upgrading now, you will be enjoying the following:
- Free bundled Single Anti-Virus License."
Part II :-
Also whenever i have a broadband outage and report the issue with the call centre guys
==>They would ask me whether the network icon in the system tray is blinking.Since I use "ifup" instead of network manager on GNOME obviously I wouldn't be able to see a network connection icon.
==>Then they request me to clear cache ,history blah ,blash{right click on internet explorer icon etc}
==>Then as part of their next sermon they ask me to Press start button==>Run==>cmd,After which i would interrupt them and tell them politely that i am not using windows but Linux.They pause for second then repeat start saying "Press start button==>Run==>cmd".They either think i am an idiot or they don't want to understand what i am saying.
I bet Half of the ISP support personnel don't know what an OS is.
It is high time that Indian ISPs should review their support policies towards Linux and MAC users. I definitely think as the number of internet users grow in India the size of the niche segment into which I fall will definitely grow in numbers.I would say that this is a sort of discrimination if ISPs continue to work in this fashion.

Two sisters' reviews of Young Adult and Middle Grade books, inspired by their lovely library.
Thank you so so much to Cristina over at Girl in the Pages, and Brin over at Brin's Book Blog! I'm actually a little disappointed that it was those two fabulous ladies who nominated us, because now I can't nominate them!
The requirements for the nomination:
1.) Thank the person who nominated you and include a link to their blog.
2.) List the rules and display the award.
3.) Add 7 facts about yourself.
4.) Nominate 15 other bloggers (or as many as you can) and comment on one of their posts to let them know they have been nominated.
5.) Display the award logo and follow the blogger who nominated you.
7 Facts about Gwen & Kate:
1.) I (Gwen speaking) am terrible at Scrabble (like really really horrible), but am pretty good at Bananagrams (if I do say so myself… I'm pretty good when playing Bananagrams in Latin too!).
2.) Kate is currently playing the banjolele (a combination of banjo and ukelele).
3.) We just bought our first hard shoes, used for Irish dance (think Riverdance style), and we're very excited! We've learned some hard shoe dances before, but only in softshoes, but the experience is entirely different (and much much less painful). (I'm wearing them now to break into them — and they spent the night bent backwards under my mattress to stretch them out.)
4.) My greatest fear is missing the school bus in the morning. Well, not really my greatest fear, but certainly the one that plagues my nightmares the most!
5.) Kate is an absolute mermaid (excerpt for the sea shell bra), and it is impossible to get her out of the water once she's in it. Pools are preferable (baths don't count).
6.) We love love love book sales (big surprise)! We went to a fantastic one last night, and got a huge book haul (post on the way)!
7.) Kate dyed the tips of her hair red with henna this summer, and again this fall, and it looks pretty stylish (especially when she wears this old fedora she inherited from our uncle)!
Blogs We're Nominating:
Always Opinionated Girl (my blogging buddy)
And finally (not a book blog, but a family friend whom I helped get situated on WordPress)…
Thanks so much lovely blogging buddy! X

The Fall TV Season presentations for all the new network shows take place this week with the first announced today. Here's a full breakdown of which concepts have made the final list over on NBC.
NBC continued to have problems with its line-up last year – it's sole new hit "Chuck" wasn't anywhere near as 'hot' as "Heroes" was in its debut the year before (whilst "Heroes" itself suffered a second season slump). Meanwhile the network's two most high-profile dramas "The Bionic Woman" and "Journeyman" both fizzled, and both "Life" and "Lipstick Jungle" only just managed to reprieve it seems despite some big issues.
For now the network's strongest line-up remains the Monday "Chuck"/"Heroes" pairing along with the comedic duo of the popular "The Office" and the critically heralded "30 Rock" ("the best sitcom on TV right now by far" – Garth). Thus it comes as no surprise that the network has left those shows alone as it tries to patch up the other holes in its schedule.
The Peacock aims to do this with a far bigger line-up of new shows than anyone expected – seven new dramas, two new comedies, and four new reality shows. The network is also planning three half-hour SNL specials on Thursday nights during the second half of October to cover the pending Presidential election.
Surprisingly the network also announced its line-up for next Summer, including the return of "American Gladiators" along with three new reality shows. They include "Chopping Block" with chef Marco Pierre White judging competitions between New York City restaurants, "America's Toughest Jobs" with everyday people tackling extreme occupations like extreme fishing or oil drilling, and "Shark Taggers" which is pretty much what it sounds like.
Several notable pilots didn't make the final cut and won't be seen. These include a US version of the hit British car series "Top Gear", the Barry Sonnenfeld-produced legal drama "Play or Be Played", the Conan O'Brien produced comedy "Man of Your Dreams", and the Brett Ratner-produced cop drama "Blue Blood".
Onto the new shows and they are:
(Castaway Drama, Fridays 9pm – Fall)
Based on the legendary novel by Daniel Defoe, this is the tale of Robinson Crusoe. A young man leaves his true love to embark on an adventure — only to end up shipwrecked on a remote tropical island for 28 years, completely detached from the life he once knew.
His desire to return to his wife and his strong and unlikely friendship with Friday are the only things that keep him sane. While stranded, Crusoe encounters enemies and braves the elements. Equal parts "MacGyver," "Castaway" and "Pirates of the Caribbean," this series is an inspirational tale of survival rife with action and comedy.
Kath and Kim
(Comedy, Tuesdays 9:30pm – Fall)
They're the most dysfunctional duo in suburbia. Kath Day (Molly Shannon) is the mom, a foxy, 40-something divorce who finally has time for herself and her valiant search for love. Kim Day (Selma Blair) is the daughter, a self-absorbed princess recently separated from her husband who finds consolation in stuffing her face.
When Kim decides to move back home, Kath reluctantly agrees — but to Kim's chagrin, Kath is not about to cater to her every whim as she has in the past. Based on the most successful comedy in Australia of the same name, Kath and Kim are two brassy women who prefer the finer things in life like acrylic nails, big hair and faux diamond chips. Michelle Nader ("The King of Queens") and Paul Feig ("Freaks and Geeks," "The Office") along with original show creators Gina Riley and Jane Turner are executive producers.
(Drama, Sundays 10pm – Spring)
"Kings" is an inspiring exploration of the timeless David vs. Goliath struggle. The show is set in a modern metropolis under siege where the fighting has gone on for too long and cost far too many lives.
When David Shepherd (Christopher Egan), a brave young soldier, rescues the king's (Ian McShane) son from enemy territory, he sets events in motion that will finally bring peace. Suddenly, David is thrust into the limelight, earning the affections of women — including the king's daughter.
When he's promoted to captain, he becomes the reluctant poster boy for hope. But for David, the line between his allies and enemies will blur as the power players in the kingdom go to great lengths to see him fall. Sebastian Stan also stars. Michael Green (NBC's "Heroes") and Francis Lawrence are executive producers.
Knight Rider
(Drama, Wednesdays 8pm – Fall)
On the heels of NBC's hit movie, the iconic 1980s television classic comes roaring back to life as an updated drama series showcasing the new customized KITT (Knight Industries Three Thousand) Ford Mustang.
As the sequel resumes, KITT is absolutely the coolest car ever created: its supercomputer capable of hacking almost any system; its weapons systems efficient; and its body — thanks to its creator's work and nanotechnology — is capable of actually shifting shape and color. It is the ultimate car — and someone will be willing to do anything to obtain it.
Justin Bruening, Deanna Russo, Sydney Tamiia Poitier and Bruce Davison star. David Bartis ("Heist," "The O.C."), Doug Liman ("Mr. and Mrs. Smith," "The Bourne Identity") and Gary Scott Thompson ("Las Vegas," "The Fast and The Furious") are executive producers.
The Listener
(Drama, Thursdays 10pm – Summer)
In this one-hour drama, Toby Logan (Craig Olejnik) is a 24-year-old paramedic living with a secret: he can read people's minds.
This telepathic procedural takes viewers into the heart of a tortured hero who struggles to solve crimes with his unique gift. Week-to-week, "The Listener" balances high-stakes drama with irreverent humor and sends Toby on an intellectual and emotional adventure.
Ennis Esmer also stars. Christina Jennings, Scott Garvie, Michael Amo, Russ Cochrane, Glen Davis and Bill Laurin serve as executive producers.
(Drama, Sundays 8pm – Spring)
"Merlin" is an exciting, hour-long fantasy series set in the mythic city of Camelot — but inspired by 21st Century storytelling. Before Merlin (Colin Morgan) and Arthur (Bradley James) became legends, they were ambitious young men looking for adventure, hoping to live up to their family's expectations, discovering love and finding their own true destiny, making mistakes along the way.
The innovative, action-packed drama has cross-generational appeal and paints a picture of Merlin and Arthur's early life that audiences have never witnessed before. Anthony Head, Richard Wilson, Angel Coulby and Katie McGrath also star.
My Own Worst Enemy
(Drama, Mondays 10pm – Fall)
Henry Spivey (Christian Slater) is a middle-class efficiency expert living a humdrum life in the suburbs with a wife, two kids, a dog, and a minivan. Edward Albright is an operative who speaks 13 languages, runs a four-minute mile, and is trained to kill with his teeth.
Henry and Edward are polar opposites who share only one thing in common — the same body. When the carefully constructed wall between them breaks down, Henry and Edward are thrust into unfamiliar territory where each man is dangerously out of his element. "My Own Worst Enemy" explores the duality of a man who is literally pitted against himself. Jason Smilovic ("Kidnapped") is the executive producer.
The Office Spin-Off
(Comedy, Thursdays 9:30pm)
From Greg Daniels, the executive producer of the Emmy Award-winning American version of NBC's "The Office," comes the most highly anticipated comedy of the season in "The Office" spinoff.
Audiences will follow another comic journey, complete with new faces and new locations, but with the same unique sense of humor and brand of quality from Daniels and his creative team. It's the next chapter of what viewers have come to know and love about "The Office."
The Philanthropist
(Drama, Mondays 10pm)
This one-hour drama is about a rebel with a cause. Teddy Rist loves women, money and power. After the tragic death of his only child, Teddy has an awakening and becomes the world's first vigilante philanthropist — a renegade billionaire who uses his wealth, connections and power to help people in need.
He'll do anything to achieve his goals — bargain with the self-righteous, trade with the nefarious and even tell the truth. Instead of spending $25,000 a plate at a fundraiser, he's dodging bullets in third-world countries to hand-deliver vaccine. It's a global adventure that will take viewers to the ends of the Earth and will inspire them as well.
Tom Fontana ("Homicide: Life on the Street"), Barry Levinson ("Homicide: Life on the Street") and Charlie Corwin ("L.A. Ink") are the executive producers.
Renewals include "30 Rock," "American Gladiators," "America's Got Talent," "The Biggest Loser", "Dateline NBC," "Deal or No Deal", "E.R.," "Friday Night Lights," "Heroes," "Last Comic Standing," "Law and Order", "Law and Order: SVU," "Life," "Lipstick Jungle," "Medium," "Most Outrageous Moments," "My Name is Earl," "The Office," "Sunday Night Football."
Cancellations include "1 vs. 100," "The Bionic Woman," "Clash of the Choirs," "Journeyman," "Las Vegas," "My Dad is Better Than Your Dad," "Quarterlife," "Scrubs," "The Singing Bee."

While it is true that a timeshare contract is a binding legal document, it is often mistakenly thought that such a contract cannot only be cancelled. In fact, most timeshare companies maintain that their contracts are non – cancellable. This misconception is perpetuated by timeshare companies and user groups that are funded, maintained and controlled by the timeshare industry.
The FHA 203k loan program provides home buyers the opportunity to buy and fix up a property, without exhausting their personal savings.
(Bloomberg) -- Fannie Mae said it won't need aid from the U.S. Treasury for a second straight quarter as rising home prices bolster the housing market.
Net income was $5.1 billion in the second quarter, enough to offset a dividend payment to the Treasury of $2.9 billion, Washington-based Fannie Mae (FNMA) said today in a statement. The profit compared with a $2.89 billion loss in the same period a year earlier.
Earnings benefited from a decline in single-family loans more than 90-days delinquent and improved sale prices on the foreclosed homes the company owns, Fannie Mae said.
"We are probably in a place now where we are more likely to make money than lose money," Susan McFarland, Fannie Mae's chief financial officer, said in an interview.
McFarland said it was possible the company could need to take draws from the Treasury in future quarters when home-price increases might not be as strong.
"The magnitude of the home-price improvement that we saw was greater than we would have expected from normal seasonal upticks, so that's encouraging," she said. "But I don't think we're going to see the level of earnings repeat itself quarter in and quarter out."
Fannie Mae's sister company, McLean, Virginia-based Freddie Mac (FMCC), said yesterday it wouldn't need a Treasury draw for the first time since the first quarter of 2011. Freddie Mac reported net income of $3 billion in the second quarter, even after a dividend payment to the Treasury of $1.8 billion.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have taken a total of almost $190 billion in U.S. aid since they went into conservatorship in September 2008 after investments in risky loans pushed them to the brink of insolvency. The companies own or guarantee more than half of U.S. home loans.

Ah, relief is in sight!
Sweet Dreams Designs has a new team member- which says a lot considering before today the "team" consisted of one person - me! Today, I had lunch with Judy who will be helping me sew the fall line! She has already put together a few pieces for me and I'm feeling the relief already.
It is so funny to think about ME actually "hiring" someone - if you can call it that. I'd prefer to refer to it as a desperate cry for help! Judy was sent from above- I swear. I put an ad in a local free classified book. The ad ran for a week with one other respondant who was not nearly as qualified, but good enough for what I thought I was looking for at the time. Then comes Judy's email. She owns two industrial machines, sewed for another children's clothing company who recently sent their clothing production overseas as many do. I'm so excited to have met her today and know that right now, she is just what I need - an answer to a prayer.
Over the past couple of days when I have mentioned to people that I have hired someone, they say "wow, so you're really doing this!" or something similar. And yes - I'm really doing it! That is one thing that I have to give myself a little pat on the back for.....I've really done it. I said I was going to and I did - to the surprise of some, I'm sure. Since graduating from Auburn in 2004 I have taken a few different career paths - the longest lasting 2 years. I made my very first piece of clothing back in October 2006. A pillowcase dress made from an old pillowcase of Jason's from college and constructed using a pattern I found off the internet. I used my Singer embroidery/sewing machine which I had bought thinking it would be cool to be able to monogram my own things and stuff for friends. (Not a product on my "favorites list" but it was what I could afford at the time! ) When I made that first pillowcase dress, I was ecstatic! I mean, I had just taken this old thing and made it into something to wear! What a feeling! I hadn't sewn a stitch since 8th grade home-ec and here I had just made a dress! I remember taking it downstairs to Jason and saying - I'm going to sell these. He said (and I quote) "Whatever, you'll get tired of this in a few weeks too and you'll be doing something else." Well, the very next day, I bought some more fabric, made a few samples and emailed pictures to a friend of mine who had a website that featured various artisans selling their items online. Within a few days, I had my own little store on their website! The rest is "history" I suppose! I still have that little old pillowcase dress. It's nice to look and see how far I have come in the past 19 months. I hope I can say the same thing 19 more months from now!

Time to brag
Here is a picture of a project I took on recently....a "big girl" room for a friend of mine! A little intimidating at first, but great fun and huge reward when all was said and done. Made me want to get started on a new look for my own bedroom, but as far as I have gotten is purchasing the fabric!
Right now, I am still so wrapped up in finishing up all of the orders from April shows - what a month! I'm beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel, which feels good. I have only a tiny start on making samples for fall shows which is going to be a huge undertaking. Luckily, I believe I have found some help! More on that later.

New World Speed Record: Fastest Bass Boat in the World
A new APBA Kilo speed record was established on April 22, 2005, by an Allison XB-2002 bass boat. It was driven by David Shook at an APBA event at Crescent City, Florida and reached a record speed of 116.594 MPH. This record was set under adverse weather conditions. Had the weather been cooperative, the new record would have definitely been higher.

A prison guard was arrested yesterday morning on suspicion of raping a three-year-old girl while at work in Preah Sihanouk province.
Be Sivanna, police chief of the province's anti-human trafficking and juvenile protection bureau, said yesterday that the 22-year-old provincial prison guard had been sent to his office for questioning.
The guard was arrested after the father of the girl – a fellow guard – found his daughter and made a complaint.
The suspect was sheduled to be sent to a provincial court today.
Chiep Sotheary, who is a coordinator for human rights group Adhoc, said yesterday the allegations were concerning.
She added that in the first four months of this year, Adhoc had dealt with two cases of rapes of underage girls and three cases of adult rape in Preah Sihanouk province.
Earlier this month, an 11-year-old girl was found raped and killed in Kampong Cham province. The girl had attended a dance in Sre Kchach village, Tamper commune, Dambae district.

Jay and I got this lovely Reclining Wingback Chair from his parents. While it wasn't actually that bad looking we wanted a statement piece and something to go with our new end tables. The process was rough. I would recommend to anyone who values their hands and time to really, really think about how badly they want to do a project like this on their own. Removing the fabric from the chair requires the removal of thousands (really) of staples. I used a flathead screwdriver and rocked it back and forth to loosen the staple, then pulled each one out with pliers. Oh and don't forget that for every staple removed, you will have to put a new one in and my staple gun bruised my hand.
*This project took 8 yards of fabric and eleventy-billion staples.

Winton is a town in Central West Queensland, Australia, 177 kilometres (110 mi) northwest of Longreach. The main industries of the area are sheep and cattle raising. The town was named by postmaster Robert Allen, in 1876 after his place of birth Winton, Dorset. At the 2011 census, Winton had a population of 954.© Wikipedia

We stopped for the night at Winton on our way to Mount Isa in outback Queensland. Winton is where Banjo Paterson is believed to have written Waltzing Matilda and the song was first sung in one of the pubs in town. Matilda Centre houses a museum telling the story of Banjo Paterson's song and has a great display of items used during the history of Winton. (Unfortunately this was destroyed by fire after our visit)
This is a typical country town with lovely wide streets, plenty of pubs and a laid back approach. Winton is very famous for the discovery of dinosaur bones and footprints in the local area. Two places to visit are:
Keep an eye out the the garbage bins in town - they are shaped like a dinosaur's foot.

War Thunder
In some ways War Thunder is very similar to World of Tanks. It has authentic war machines, free online play, and microtransactions. Oh, but it's about planes instead of tanks. This title might also be a little more complex than World of Tanks — there are dozens upon dozens of planes in this game with all different specialties. Ground units are planned, but only a few tanks have been teased so far.
War Thunder offers players the opportunity to recreate major combat operations from World War II. You can join a massive squadron of fellow pilots all with different roles, or take on a solo mission.
This particular game has some serious graphical prowess. The developers recommend a GTX460 or higher for the best experience, and it shows. War Thunder offers players the choice of many different views, including an incredibly detailed cockpit one. There is even early Oculus Rift support, which very well may make your stomach leap out of your mouth.
War Thunder is another game still in the testing phase, but the developers are at a late beta stage. You can get started for free, and even pay up for additional content.
World of Warplanes
This game comes from the same developer as World of Tanks, so you can be assured of a similarly compelling experience. World of Warplanes is an action MMO that focuses on classic planes starting with 1930's biplanes through to Korean War jet fighters. You'll start out with just four biplanes, but play well and you'll earn enough cash to get a shiny new jet.
There are already several dozen planes in the game, all fully upgradeable with a unique tech tree. The game can be played at no cost, but the in-game currency system favors those who put down some cash. Players can join together to take out AI-controlled targets, or take aim at each other in PvP combat.
One goal the developers have in World of Warplanes is to make the experience sufficiently realistic that serious gamers will enjoy it, but still make the planes easy to control. You can even fly with a mouse and not want to throw your PC out the window. Just point the cursor in the direction you want to go, and the plane will fly there.
World of Warplanes is in open beta right now, and you can get in on the dogfights for free. Pre-order packages are also available.
Back to the mechs — Hawken is a stylish free to play title that invites you to climb into a heavy war machine and take aim at your fellow humans. Hawken has two team game modes, as well as deathmatch and free-for-all deathmatch game types.
This title is engineered a little more like a traditional first-person shooter. The mechs have specific abilities and weaknesses — there is even a healer class "Technician" mech. Whatever route you go, there are various accessories and components to add to your mech. You can even repaint it to make it a more personal kind of killing machine.
Hawken has a very cool gritty, yet futuristic look. The environments are richly detailed, and the map layouts are excellent for strategic combat. The cockpit view is downright cool as well. Hawken is a visually stunning game. Although, the gameplay isn't bad either.

Review of LargeFriends.com (BBW and BHM)
Contrary to popular belief, there is a huge niche dating market for men who find fuller figured, or larger woman sexy, beautiful, and desirable.
In our search for online dating websites that focus on plus-sized daters (also known as Big Beautiful Women or Big Handsome Men) we checked out LargeFriends.com.
How it Works:
If you've ever registered on any other paid dating websites, you already know the drill, and Largefriends.com is no different:
- sign up with an email address,
- post one or more pictures of yourself,
- pick a catchy "tagline" andwrite a fascinating blurb about yourself and your ideal match in a Profile area,
- search and browse the profiles and pics of other eligible bachelors and bachelorettes.
LargeFriends.com - the best dating site for plus-sized singles!
How It Doesn't Work:
Sigh... yup, you just put all that effort and mental energy into creating this dating profile only to realize you may not wish to pay a bunch of money to a site you're just not sure is legit, or has a good amount of members. It's not that we begrudge a dating site to charge you money for services, but please tell us before we put all that time and energy into our profile. This is known as the "gotcha" factor.
To make matters worse, before we even hit that inevitable wall of membership prices, we saw this at the bottom of the page under the profile box we just created tiny already checked box that reads, "I also agree to register my profile on ChestyFriends.com to get more contacts".
Really? When are these otherwise legit sites going to realize that this does nothing to instill confidence that Largefriends is a serious website that helps members look for legitimate dates or partners.
We unchecked the Chestyfriends.com box, and perused profiles which as a Standard (unpaid) member you are permitted to do.
What you are permitted to do as a STANDARD (non-paying) member:
As a standard non paying member, you can look, but not messageor initiate contact. You may reply to email contacts, but not initiate any or send messages. You can reply to an instant message but not send one. You can send a wink, post pictures, read bulletin boards on the site on topics. The Gold membership allows you to search with specific body types and other specific criteria.
How Much Does it Cost?
Gold membership, which simply means you are a paying member, and thus entitled to contact people, search with criteria, and have access to some other features costs the following:
6 months (about $15.95/month) 1 payment of $95.95
3 months (about 19.95/month) 1 payment of $59.95
1 month (about $1.00 per day) in 1 payment of $29.95
What Did We See?
The profiles ran the gamut from scantily clad bursting cleavage, replete with suggestive titles and come-ons, to the fully dressed serious partner seekers.
Many members are quite heavy, and some are not. Most of them need a serious personal coach to assist with fashion and photography. (Just because you are a BBW or Plus-Size person doesn't make you exempt from wearing clothes that flatter and fit. And ladies, having your pic taken in your bathroom while making fish-lips, isn't doing you any favors.
And men? Those pictures!! But that's another story.
Generally speaking the women were better looking than the men, but interestingly, there were also a LOT of very handsome, muscular men on this website that purports to connect heavy or plus-size singles.
This made us smell a rat.
Either men weren't using their real pictures, or something fishy is going on. Certainly, there are men who prefer to pursue larger ladies for various reasons, some of which include less scrupulous motivation of preying on people's insecurities for sex, but the ratio we observed seemed out of whack. Just sayin'.
An Interesting Feature: Verification
Largefriends.com offers a procedure to prove you are who you say you are--your age, photo, occupation, education--by uploading a readable and clear copy of any of your ID's(driver's license, State ID card, passport, diploma or educational qualifications on company letterhead) or other related material. (yikes!) They recommend that members do this to ward off people posing as other than who they are. They state that they do not disclose, sell or rent any personally identifiable information to any third party organizations and all information provided is kept confidential. Perhaps an easy way to show that you are who you are without sending licenses, etc would be to utilize this suggestion, where you hold a sign up next to your pic with the name LargeFriends.com so its clear you are indeed you, and not using a stolen pic from the web.
The site also has Success Storieswith pictures, posted by couples who met, dated, married, and also had children.
Should I Go For It?
We say you should check it out, but be prepared to pay at least one month to really get a feel for it. You probably spend more on your cappuccino bill, but give it some thought. We recommend picking one "niche" site, such as one like this for plus-size or BBW/BHM dating, in addition to a more mainstream dating website like OkCupid, simply for the exposure (and it's free!).
DatingGurus grade? C+ for it's potential.

Dozier's Days Numbered, Then What?
Now well into July, Dozier is beginning to do Brian-like things, and his second half surge appears to have started. Despite just a .732 OPS on the season, he's got a .905 mark across his last 21 games. If you shrink the sample size down to just the month of July, Brian is hitting .317/.378/.683 with seven extra-base hits (four home runs) across 11 games. In short, it's a great time for him to be going well.
After being the subject of trade talks two winters ago, Minnesota wisely decided that their premium player was worth more than the Jose De Leon return that the Dodgers were willing to part with. Forget that De Leon has since undergone Tommy John surgery after being traded to the Rays, I'm still not convinced Minnesota can't get an equal or better package at this point. Manny Machado will be the cream of the crop come trading season, but Dozier is capable of being a big get up the middle for a team looking to make a postseason push.
Concerning the Twins however, Paul Molitor will be tasked with filling his position in the field, as well as the gaping hole in the lineup. From where I stand, I can see only two options in how to handle the days post-Brian Dozier. In my mind, only one of them is right, but that doesn't necessarily make it any more likely. Let's explore:
Option A: It's Nick Gordon Time
In dealing Dozier, the Twins essentially wave the white flag on their season. While they could be sellers and pivot as they did a year ago, moving one of their best players is something you wouldn't expect to come back from. In operating this way, the focus needs to turn from winning games, into focusing on process for 2019.
Given the expectation that Nick Gordon will become the Twins second basemen of the future, getting him up to the big leagues, and acclimated, should be of the utmost importance. He's scuffled mightily at Triple-A Rochester, posting an OPS just north of .600. I really don't care about his production however. He dominated at Double-A, and there's been some questions surrounding his bat ever since he was drafted. Allowing him to get in the field, settle into a new role, and get used to the rigors of big league baseball is a must. The more high-end pitching he faces now, the less of a learning curve there should be expected in the season ahead.
The core of Byron Buxton, Miguel Sano, Jose Berrios, Max Kepler, and Eddie Rosario will ultimately determine what this team can accomplish in the next few years. As veterans step aside however, the graduation of top prospects such as Gordon, will need to go smoothly to fill in. Now is not the time to worry about starting his clock or whether he's going to step in and be all-systems-go right away. Get young Flash in there, and take what you can into the offseason to work on.
Option B: Utility All Over
Ehire Adrianza was recently activated from the disabled list, and returns to the Twins having had a nice little hot streak before landing on the shelf. He was going to lose his starting role at SS when Jorge Polanco returned regardless, but now there isn't a clear avenue to playing time.
Minnesota has pushed Adrianza out into the outfield at times over his tenure here, but he's yet to play second base this season (in part because Dozier has been there for 89/90 games). Should Minnesota go this route, Adrianza likely becomes the starter at second. Polanco would stay at short, as it's his long-term home, and Eduardo Escobar remains at the hot corner.
In operating this way, the Twins would really be up a creek without a paddle. Adrianza doesn't figure into the future plans, and they'd be past the point of prioritizing wins. Unfortunately, it's hard to not see this as a likely scenario, given how much run players like Ryan LaMarre and Bobby Wilson have been given.
At the end of the day the hope should be that if the Twins do sell, and most importantly regarding Brian Dozier, the position is turned over to the man in waiting. Stephen Gonsalves, John Curtiss, Trevor May, and a handful of other players should make their way up from Triple-A, but Gordon must be chief among them.
Once a team has decided to close shop on a given season, making sure to learn something and get the most out of every game from a development standpoint needs to be the focus. Selling off assets and failing to capitalize on opportunity- allowing process and ability to drive results could very well have the Twins staring at the next big prospects to be sent back down in hopes of figuring it out.

The house was painted about 10 years ago and it needs some love again.
The colour on there now is called "Agapanthus". Not sure who made it, possibly Dulux?
The colour I am painting it now is called "Iron Gate" by Taubmans. I had a painter working on the house last year. He did the facsia and vents in this colour for me. I badly wanted him to keep going with the exterior, but as finances dictate - we had to leave it there. It is quite similar to the other colour, but less blue and more softer gray. It should wear better too as it is white based, and won't fade as much as a black based paint. I learnt this while I was picking a colour with the painter - handy to know.
So, the house isn't too flaky which is good as there is less prep to do. I thought I would give it a go.
|The old colour is on the left. My new colour is on the right. Very subtle, but I can see a difference straight away.
It is going to take me many months to do it all, I am determined to get the "hot" sides of the house done first because painting in the heat of summer is not my idea of fun!
I started painting the pergola too last year before we moved, but it was harder with a little 2 year old "helping" me. So the time is now, I must finish it off too before it gets too hot to paint it as well.
The pergola is being painted with Porters Paints "Palm Beach Black". I love it so much! It is a matte speciality finish which should protect the posts really well.
The drawback is the expense of it. It costs a bomb for 4 litres, and it sucks in the instant you slap it on. The Pros are no prep needed, Just brush it on!
I have a lot to do.

UA Makes Big Impression at 2012 Spring Preparedness Conference
A large turnout from multiple campuses throughout the University of Alaska System took part in the 2012 Spring Preparedness Conference April 10-12, sponsored by the Department of Military and Veterans' Affairs and the Division of Homeland Security.
Over 230 people from across the state, including first responders, school district employees, state and federal emergency planners and representatives from UA campuses, spent three days learning, sharing and networking at the conference. Presenters included the school superintendent and fire chief from Joplin, Missouri, who shared their respective experiences before, during and following the devastating EF5 multiple-vortex tornado that hit the community on May 22, 2011. About 25 percent of Joplin was destroyed, with the official death toll at 160 people.
Opening comments by Gov. SeanĀ Parnell included acknowledgment of the effort University of Alaska has put forth regarding Emergency Management and community preparedness activities, including last summer's full-Scale exercise at UAF.ĀĀĀ
UA President Pat Gamble also was among the leaders who opened up the conference, along with John Madden, Director of the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management; and Department of Education Commissioner Mike Hanley.
Gamble stressed the importance of planning and "getting it right up front" from the start of a disaster or incident. With the rapidity of social networking and the intense scrutiny of media on how organizations and institutions respond to disasters, second guessing begins long before events conclude. Even with the best emergency or disaster response, lawsuits afterwards are probable.Ā
"The complexity is immense," Gamble said. "Training first, and then exercising your plan are key."ĀĀĀ
Joplin schools superintendent, C.J. Huff, stressed the importance of "outstanding relationships" with other community agencies and non-governmental groups. These "pre-need relationships" are important more than ever when disaster strikes. The first time to meet your neighbors and community members is not in the midst of a major crisis, but long before, Huff said.
For the first time ever, the preparedness conference featured a higher education track solely for university participants, of which there were 26. The following subject matter experts presented: Paul Hefner of California, a 30-year veteran of emergency response and preparedness, culminating as National Fire Facilities Program Manager with the Bureau of Land Management;Ā Brendan McCluskey, executive director of Emergency Management and Occupational Health and Safety at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey; and Dave Hubeny, director of Emergency Management at Binghamton University. UA's three emergency managers--Rick Forkel (System), Randy Pommenville (UAF) and Ron Swartz (UAA)---also made presentations during the higher ed track.
In addition to hearing about emergency notification requirements under the federal Higher Education Opportunity Act, sessions included "lessons learned" from the record-breaking winter snow storm in Valdez this past December and January, and how the Prince William Sound Community College responded and addressed on-going recovery efforts; business continuity planning; the importance of all-hazards Incident Management Teams; and campus shelter operations.
Steve Shiell, Business Manager at Prince William Sound Community College, shared his experience in dealing with the massive winter storm Valdez experienced in December and January. Inundated with snow, unable to keep campus entrances and exits safe and clear, and ultimately facing structural safety concerns, the Valdez campus delayed the start of the spring semester. The community received 25 feet of snow in an eight-week period, including 80 inches over one four-day stretch.
"We were able to hire only one extra person that week. Everybody else with a snow scoop or a shovel was already working," Shiell said. Funding limitations also hampered the campus; the going rate for snow shovelers in Valdez was $50 an hour, yet the university was only authorized to spend up to $14.50 an hour for such help.
Shiell said the campus leaders learned many lessons from the December snow storm, including the need for an incident management team and a better decision making process internally. PWSCC, with the help of its MAU, UAA, eventually hired a roofing contractor from Anchorage to come in and reduce snow loads on roofs, which had become dangerously overloaded.
"I was pretty nervous," Shiell said.
The idea of planning, training and exercising for all hazards is to reduce that level of anxiety throughout the UA System, said Rick Forkel, UA's Emergency Management director. "When something happens on one of our campuses, UA wants to deliver the resources needed, or help coordinate support for the response," he told the group gathered in the higher education track.
Attendees included representatives from Nome, Dillingham, Kotzebue, Bethel, Sitka, Fairbanks, Juneau, Ketchikan, Cordova and Anchorage campuses.
The commitment and participation of UA employees impressed officials. Mike O'Hare, Deputy Director of the Federal Homeland Security in Alaska, said UA has made "sea changes in preparedness" during his opening remarks.

Been very busy this holiday and what a relief that Christmas came and went without a hitch. Sigh! That's one down and a New Year to go. Hehehe!
So with the New Year celebration coming up and preparations going insane, I thought to have a little pause from the chaos and make a stress-relieving Amigurumi. Well, this time I didn't use any hook. With just a good pom-pom maker (Sorry, it's in Japanese so I don't know what brand), two skeins of Raven, and some felt cloth I was able to make myself an A-dorable, cutie-patootie giant soot sprite named Sooty. You know, like the ones in the Studio Ghibli films... Specifically in My Neighbor Totoro and Spirited Away. ^^
I don't know what brand is the pom-pom maker, but it looks like this...
It comes in a set of four different sizes: 3.5cm, 5.5cm, 7cm, and 9cm. The one I used for the soot sprite is the largest one. I bought it for Php235 in a yarn and crafts store, so it's about $5-6. Not bad huh? ^^

Lady Gaga's flying dress" and FlyLo's Hypercube are just some of the approaches this year's Grammy nominees are working with technology in unexpected methods. The entire trend in technologies has been to devise machines that are less and much less beneath direct handle and additional and a lot more seem to have the starting of a will of their own. Huxley envisioned a horrifying future where mankind utilized science and technology in a self destructive manner. Our general Cool Gadgets and Geek Gifts subcategories function virtual cinema video glasses, digital dictafones, an audio cassette to MP3 converter, iOS app remote controlled toy helicopters, and musical gadgets like our piano gloves and roll-up keyboard.
He believes, like several folks, that the increasingly preferred and employed digital technology will assist bring society collectively. Today, advances in technology and technique allow vast quantities of networked information and facts to be stored and retrieved cheaply, just, and reliably. Shallis argues that 'accepting the proposition that… technologies… is neutral… indicates accepting the technological imperative' (Shallis 1984, p. 95). I take it from that they imply the gadgets that they let them to be seen with.
Regardless of whether you are on the go, in your workplace or at household, tech gadgets can introduce terrific time-saving advantages into your day, as effectively as make life much easier. The most prevalent factors for this are that newly released, current technology products will usually be additional pricey than decrease specification or older goods. The social relation without these gadgets was becoming slowly nullified and a new awareness about human communication in a worldwide sense was set in motion. The connection in between info and the mechanisms for its control is fairly straightforward to describe: Technology increases the accessible supply of information and facts.
Videoconferencing tools: with the assist of this technology teachers can quickly 'call' anybody on the world to engage in the class – for instance on marketing and advertising related classes it is a great notion to ask the executive of a effective enterprise to be obtainable for some minutes and inform the students some crucial needs to results in this field.
Some critics argue against technological determinism on the grounds that technologies is 'neutral' or 'value-free' (neither good or terrible in itself), and that what counts is not the technologies but the way in which we choose to use it. As the folk saying has it, 'poor workers blame the tools'. As Raymond Williams puts it, 'if technologies is a cause, we can at ideal modify or seek to control its effects' (1990, p. ten).

Big-eared bats (genus Corynorhinus) in the eastern United
States are often associated with hardwood forest habitats and are potentially
at risk due to factors such as habitat loss, disturbance to hibernacula and
maternity sites, contaminants, genetic isolation, and disease. As a result,
big-eared bats in the eastern US are species of special conservation concern. Biologists
have expressed concern that more knowledge is needed before effective management
of these species is possible. A symposium was held in March 2010 to discuss
research findings and future directions in research and conservation. The
proceedings have been published by the Forest Service as Conservation and Management of Eastern Big-eared Bats: A Symposium.

EDITORIAL: Grace Place move makes perfect sense
The proposed move of Grace Place into a larger facility in New Richmond appears to be progressing forward.
At a New Richmond Plan Commission meeting May 7, city officials determined that the former Deerfield Gables nursing home building is zoned properly if the transitional housing organization were to move in. No conditional use permits would be required, although a site plan and stormwater review would be necessary if improvements are made to the property.
Of course nearby residents have had some questions about Grace Place and the types of residents that would live there. Officials with the Salvation Army, which runs the shelter, assure local residents that there will be constant supervision at the facility and background checks are conducted on all prospective residents.
With such questions answered, really the only remaining question is if a larger building is needed by Grace Place. Anyone who has ever visited the existing shelter in Somerset can easily see that space is at a premium there.
With the former nursing home building, Grace Place will have more room to help more people. And paid staff members and volunteers will have more office area from which to conduct their important business.
It doesn't appear that demand for transitional housing will be going away anytime soon in St. Croix County. The proposed move would open up more beds and meet the needs of individuals and families in the region for years to come.
Here's hoping that the community rallies behind the Grace Place move and the path is cleared for a smooth transition.

Best Ways You Need to Know Before You Sell on Amazon
Best Ways You Need to Know Before You Sell on Amazon The latest news about the sale of the leading e-commerce website in the Arab world The Infinity Code Review to the world's first electronic commerce company (amazon.com) worth up to 250 million dollars. Here I am not going to talk about this deal, and may be in this link a brief answer to the reasons for this acquisition (if of course) (Why acquire Amazon on the price rather than direct presence in the Arab arena?).
Everyone is going to the electronic traders market, and everyone is thinking of starting such a project, some for his own products and the other for products he buys and sells, and other goals and trends, but all of them are poured in their entirety on profitability.
There are different ways to delve into the sea of electronic commerce, for example:
Create a site specialized in direct selling of products, and here begins the process of research and development and find the appropriate mechanisms for electronic payment, delivery and shipping, secure the site, and succession of inputs and tools of these markets and commercial sites for success and profit, not to mention the course of insurance products sold ….
The other way is to rely on a commercial platform to provide all these solutions, and we do not have to secure products and display within that platform (website), which is providing the tools for the presentation and marketing, selling and collection.
There are several types of vendors who benefit from these profitable sites or platforms:
Who has a limited number of products and little does not require investment in the establishment of an independent electronic market,
Who is the owner of products with a literal peculiarity, in the sense of being a local producer, or business owners and shops of medium or small size, and therefore can not or dare not to invest in an independent e-commerce site,
Who does not have sufficient knowledge of the tools and mechanisms of electronic commerce, and does not want to spend time in it,
The owners of many products, but want to focus on securing products rather than going into creating their own market,
Who has an existing e-commerce site, but at the same time wants to reach a larger segment of these large electronic markets, thus expanding the target segment and making sales available from more than different electronic points of sale other than the vendor's own.
Mall There are a lot of public electronic markets, and these markets Amazan World, and eBay, as well as the market location in the Arab world, and all these sites collect certain ratios on any sales movement through its platform, while at the same time provide the seller great effort It has a special location and makes full focus on securing the products and shipping them to the customer at the time of purchase. At the same time, the customer is provided with safe and safe shopping and shopping. All suppliers and product owners have been assured of their credibility as well as their products. In case of atmosphere D Any dispute or dispute with Seller.
If such sites are the location of the big market or the so-called The Infinity Code Review or electronic central markets, and provide a profitable environment for all parties (seller and buyer as well as the service provider or the combined electronic market)
Here, this quick illustration ends somewhat, and anyone who does not care about trade and e-commerce through central markets can stop here. To keep talking, by downloading this booklet (Amazon Safe Sale), which contains valuable information that you need to know before starting to deal with Amazon as a vendor that displays its products, and explains how Arab sellers in the Arab world can benefit from this. The big electronic market called Amazon …
I do not know if this is your first online selling experience or not, but if this is the first experience, you should start selling at ebay.
Amazon is suitable for people who have a pre-sale experience and have many products they want to sell (large inventory). Amazon has more laws and taxes than ebay for this reason it is advisable to start selling through ebay as a start.
Personally, I wanted to open my own store in Amazon, but for the study circumstances I could not do that. But I had a store in Ebay, and I was selling some special tweets that I no longer needed. Also I was buying some of the craigslist electronics and selling them at ebay for a small profit. You can start looking for some of your own tools that you no longer need or tools that your owners do not need, then buy them for a small amount and sell them on ebay. Of course, profits are not many, but as a start it is appropriate to take some experience. But remember that there is a tax for all the goods you sell. The tax is different depending on the type of goods, whether clothes or electronic devices or others.
To answer your questions:
Regarding suppliers. Depends on the type of product you want to sell. If it is a brand known as Playstation or Xbox, the best deals with wholesalers located in America and Canada. If you have accessories, clothes, etc., you can find suppliers by Alibaba. And of course, Alibaba needs a different theme if there is no background you have about it.
Regarding shipping. If you would like to sell at ebay p the site will give you discounts on shipping as it has relationships with shipping companies most notably USPS. Of course, you print the package label and paste it to the top of the package and then take it to the nearest shipping office, or you can specify an order to receive the goods from your home without any extra commission. Regarding Amazon, the story is different. When you have a stock of goods, you ship it full to Amazon or what is known as fulfillment centers. Amazon stores it in its stores, and when someone orders its goods from the Amazon site, Amazon packs it and ships it to the customer without having to take your intervention. But of course Amazon takes the commission more because it does all the storage, packaging and shipping itself.
There is no better selling than others. There are many factors that interfere in determining whether the product will make a profit for it, offset by competition, shipping cost, demand, and margin profit. I used some sites to see the bestseller products during that month, the price displayed, and the profits. It is recommended to start with small products for low shipping cost and therefore increase your profit.
Of course dropshipping is easier compared to Amazon but its profits are very few. The dropshipping means you need to buy a large quantity and store it in your stores. But the problem has become a monument in the field of dropshipping. I advise you to stay away from dropshipping unless you know reliable companies in this area, and they are a few basic and difficult to find.
Just as a simple note, you do not need to be in America or Canada if you have a store in Amazon or ebay. The largest stores in Amazon and eBay are owned by people in Europe and Asia.

The FUNK Beyond of LUC BESSON – "LUCY"
At the age of 22, Luc Besson released his first short film "L'avant dernier," (translation: Next to Last) in which he also appeared. It starred Jean Reno, an actor that he would work with repeatedly in future films. Besson's new film "Lucy" starring Scarlet Johansen hits theaters across the country this week, and it's nowhere near 'next to last', on Luc's list of movies.

I had a little (OK big) clear out of my wardrobe in an attempt to create some storage space for my new makeshift sewing space - but more on that later. For some unknown reason most of my T-Shirts featured tiny little holes on the bottom front edge.
Hubby's theory is they were catching on my belt. I've changed my belt and they still appear. I reckon it's cheap T-Shirts. So anyways most of them went in the bin, or at least put in a pile to bin but I couldn't bear to waste that much fabric. At the time I was running short of jersey cotton for baby clothes and here was a pile of it headed for the bin. So it get sent to the rag bag instead.
I had a root through it one day and cut out a big pile of baby T-Shirts. I made them up in a couple of batches according to the thread colour I was using. I got pretty speedy by the end. I'm pretty darn chuffed with my efforts.
This one was made from a vest top which really didn't have enough fabric in it. So it got a contrasting neckline. I think it's actually one of my favourites. Next time I do a batch of T-Shirts I think I'll include more in mixed colours like this.
Here's the pattern I've used, Simplicity 2291. I used the vest pattern but cut off the bottom part of the pattern and hemmed it instead to make a T-Shirt even though I don't actually own a T-Shirt pattern. I have also omitted one of the shoulder fasteners and shortened the neckband to compensate for this.

"We have a responsibility to the founders to pass on all that we have learned. If we don't teach the history, we are doomed to repeat it."
T.J. Wheeler – Blues Educator
The program was initiated in two Ottawa-area schools in 1999 and has since seen tremendous growth. Each spring visiting artists/educators and local musicians deliver the Blues in the Schools program to thousands of students in Ottawa schools, contributing hundreds of hours of in-class instruction over a two-week period.
The artists work with selected groups of students as part of the daily curriculum. The program is divided into two components – phases one and two.
PHASE 1 – Assembly-style presentation:
PHASE 2 – Core Group Sessions:
Integral to our program is the mandate of reaching out to students and involving them in a universal form of communication; namely music. Music reflects the feelings of the times. Through Blues music, students can learn how an oppressed people empowered themselves with song in order to cope. Our intent is to integrate students from different ethnic backgrounds and in this way teach harmony and coping skills that will lead to a more fulfilling school experience.

Title: Blogger Girl
Author: Meredith Schorr
Pages: 215 Pages
Publisher: Henery Press
The Blurb
What happens when your high school nemesis becomes the shining star in a universe you pretty much saved? Book blogger Kimberly Long is about to find out.
A chick lit enthusiast since the first time she read Bridget Jones's Diary, Kim, with her blog, Pastel is the New Black, has worked tirelessly by night to keep the genre alive, and help squash the claim that "chick lit is dead" once and for all. Not bad for a woman who by day ekes out a meager living as a pretty, and pretty-much-nameless, legal secretary in a Manhattan law firm. While Kim's day job holds no passion for her, the handsome (and shaving challenged) associate down the hall is another story. Yet another story is that Hannah Marshak, one of her most hated high school classmates, has now popped onto the chick lit scene with a hot new book that's turning heads—and pages—across the land. It's also popped into Kim's inbox—for review.
With their ten-year reunion drawing near, Kim's coming close to combustion over the hype about Hannah's book. And as everyone around her seems to be moving on and up, she begins to question whether being a "blogger girl" makes the grade in her offline life.
The Review
Ok, I am going to come across really judgemental now because when I started Blogger Girl by Meredith Schorr I made a snap decision that it wasn't going to be up to much. It was going to be a light bit of fluff that will keep me mildly entertained for 200+ pages.
Boy, was I wrong?
Meredith Schorr's book was bloody brilliant. It was engaging and addictive. For anyone who is a fan of the modern day romance novel.
The story focuses on Kimmie, a legal assistant with no aspirations to further her career. She has a boss who allows her to use her free time in work to pursue her passion – reading books and writing about them (hands in the bucket who loves doing this too). Kimmie harbours a secret crush for office man-candy Nicholas and much to her surprise he likes her as well. But as we all know, the course of true love never runs smoothly. If Kimmie wants to keep her man she is going to have to fight for him.
I hold my hands up and fully apologise for my negative first impression of Blogger Girl. I should have known better. All praise sent to Meredith Schorr because I really loved Blogger Girl, so much so that I bought the sequel as soon as I finished the book.
Blogger Girl by Meredith Schorr is available now.

text: PIERRE Ð Whether it's a thick, juicy steak or a hamburger with all the fixings, fired on the grill, South Dakotans love their beef. "The beef industry plays a crucial role in South Dakota's economy," said Secretary of Agriculture Bill Even. "South Dakota's almost 17,000 cattle producers generate $1.87 billion in total direct economic activity to our state's economy. From cattle producers, feed manufacturers, equipment dealers and food marketers, thousands of South Dakotans play a role in bringing quality beef to the plates of discriminating consumers." And with the coming season of outdoor activities and backyard barbecues, May has been declared "Beef Month" in South Dakota by Governor Mike Rounds. This unique celebration began more than 40 years ago and recognizes one of South Dakota's largest economic sectors. It also honors the dedicated men and women who produce the high quality, nutritious beef that South Dakota is known for around the world. "There is no doubt that one of South Dakota's greatest assets is its beef industry," said Barry Jennings, Executive Director of the South Dakota Beef Industry Council. "South Dakota is unique among beef producing states. With abundant feed, green pastures, clean water and superior genetics, South Dakota is one of the few states with all the resources necessary to grow high quality cattle." "Agriculture is the largest contributor to the South Dakota economy and cattle are the largest segment of South Dakota's ag industry," said Scott Jones, President of the South Dakota Cattlemen's Association."We appreciate Governor Rounds' recognition of the importance of the cattle and beef industriesin South Dakota." "Let your local cattle producers know they are appreciated by enjoying a juicy hamburger or a delicious steak today," said Even. The official proclamation can be viewed at: http://www.state.sd.us/doa/Ag%20Policy/press/

The second half of Day 3 began with the flash mob dance, which was a TON of fun. Here are some of the ST-1s and ST-2s (ST = Sock Team) getting ready up at the front. Technically, we're still mingling at this point.
Kris and I ran into the rest of the central PA contingent and we stuck together for the dance. That's Kris on the left (note how bright her green shirt is – that's what helps you find us in the videos!), then Missy, then Carol of The Mannings, and me on the right. Here are Stephen Houghton and Debbie (sorry, don't know her last name), the ones who made the instruction video:
Here is some mingling that happened before the music began. Kris and Katharine are showing each other their yarn (you can see Steph and Tina in the background if you look between Kris and Katharine):
And then there was dancing. I didn't record any because I was participating… so you'll have to search YouTube on "sock summit flash mob" and you'll find a ton. I'll add a couple of links where you might spy us later (my internet access is brief). Added later: this is the best video right here!
After the dance, Kris, Katharine, and I jumped on the train and went downtown for dinner. Then we rushed back to the convention center for Stephanie's lecture, titled "This is Your Brain on Knitting." She summarized some of the scientific research that pertains to our craft. Not that there is neuroscience research on knitting… it's not quite that direct. The literature on repetitive motion and the relaxation response is helpful, though – and some of those studies actually mention knitting (though one, hilariously, concluded that it is not practical for everyone to carry around knitting with them, though they think it would be helpful). I think I took good enough notes that I can track down some citations (Stephanie usually mentioned the author's name and institutional affiliation), so I'll do the librarian thing when I get home and see if I can recreate a list of references. She also used some of the research that the video game industry has commissioned to learn why people get addicted to video games and how to get them to pay good money to do something imaginary. She told a compelling story. The room was packed. I was right in the front row (a fluke – I walked up there with Katharine, who was having a seat saved for her by an early arriver, and it turned out there were a couple of empty seats right up front). It was neat to turn around and see an entire room filled with people knitting socks and listening to someone talk about knitting. There were over 500 chairs in the room and the event was sold out. After the lecture, we dropped off our baby shower donations. There were at least 6 tables full of things like this. That big bag on our table was full of items that someone brought from their local knitting group – it contained at least a couple dozen hats, pairs of booties, and more. After that, we decided to swing by Voodoo Doughnuts, which was a pretty hopping place on Saturday night. I kind of clutched at all the choices and ended up with a plain cake donut with chocolate frosting. I prefer cake doughnuts to raised ones, and the cake ones were way tamer than the raised ones. They had vegan doughnuts – I was sad that Boy 1 wasn't here to try one (he's never had a doughnut because he's allergic to eggs). Katharine bought a "voodoo dozen," which is a dozen doughnuts that they select – you don't hand pick them. Here is a peek:
Yes, that is a piece of bubble gum stuck in the hole of the pink doughnut, and some kind of colorful cereal on the one in the back. Super crunchy! One more day of classes, and home on Monday!

Max, Katelyn, Ava & Lauren
What fun I had with these little ones today! I must admit that I didn't expect a photo session with FOUR children to go smoothly, but with the help of their Mom, Grandma & Grandpa, it was great. Max & Katelyn, being the oldest, were so helpful and took direction flawlessly...two of the most polite children I've had the pleasure of meeting. Little Ava was hesitant at first, but ended up flashing some adorable smiles. Sweet baby Lauren even graced the camera with a few precious smiles before she went down for her nap. I hope they all enjoy this preview of their session...thanks little sweetie-pies!

The Big 12 placed eight golfers on the Golfweek All-American list, with four golfers earning first team status- Doug Ghim of Texas, Matthew Wolff and Viktor Hovland of Oklahoma State, and Fredrick Nilehn of Texas Tech.
Oklahoma State's Zach Bauchou was the Big 12 representative on the second team and Garrett May of Baylor, Brad Dalke of Oklahoma, and Scottie Scheffler of Texas earned third team distinction.
The Big 12 placed more golfers on the first team than any other conference, and tied for the most placements overall.
