Thousands of Ann Arbor area shoppers line up for midnight deals as Black Friday arrives
Melanie Maxwell | AnnArbor.com
Nathan Bomey | AnnArbor.com
At the Target store on Waters Road and the Best Buy store on Lohr Road — both in Pittsfield Township — lines to get in at midnight stretched much farther than they did when the stores opened at 4 a.m. and 5 a.m, respectively, on Black Friday in 2010.
A large contingent of uniformed security guards, store associates and police officers maintained a calm atmosphere outside both stores.
At Target, an employee asked a Pittsfield Township police officer to stop shoppers from cutting ahead in line.
At Best Buy, the first group of five deal-seekers set up a tent at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday to await the store's opening. By 9 a.m. Thursday, shoppers had erected about a dozen tents on the sidewalk outside the door.
About 15 minutes before the store opened, hundreds of shoppers were waiting in a line that extended all the way behind the store and wrapped several hundred feet behind the shopping complex.
A group of five shoppers — 27-year-old Belleville resident Donnie Phillips, 24-year-old Ypsilanti resident Billy Doyle, 22-year-old Ann Arbor resident Ndongo Ndaw, 22-year-old Ypsilanti resident John Phillips and 24-year-old Manchester resident Allecia Dicks — got the first spot in line.
They camped out in a tent, warming up with a propane heater and watching the Detroit Lions game on a portable TV.
Half an hour after they arrived Wednesday, a group of 10 Ann Arbor high school friends got to the store at 7 p.m. They camped out in a tent, smoked hookah and tried to order food from Domino's Pizza — which, they said, refused to deliver to the sidewalk outside Best Buy.
After waiting nearly 36 hours to get into the store for TVs, laptops and various digital devices, the dedicated deal-seekers and the rest of the early shopping crowd were particularly chummy.
"We're family!" Donnie Phillips.
"Watch this," another shouted.
"Neighbors!" someone yelled.
"Neighbors!" the crowd responded in unison.
Shoppers indicated the top draw at Best Buy was a 42-inch Sharp LCD TV for $199. Customers who arrived early received a wristband giving them the right to make their desired purchase.
But it wasn't all about the deals.
"This is my sixth year doing this and I meet some of the coolest people I've ever met doing this," Donnie Phillips said.
Ann Arbor resident Omar Hasan, 17, concurred: "We meet new friends."
At Target, the line of shoppers waiting to get into the store stretched hundreds of feet — to the end of the shopping complex — by the time the store opened at midnight. Store associates handed out a "Guide to Savings" brochure to shoppers waiting in line, providing a map for where deals were located within the store. The brochures were a hot item.
When the store opened, security personnel ushered about a dozen people into the store at a time, pausing for about 15 seconds and letting another wave through the doors — presumably to prevent a stampede.
Shortly after the store opened, with the line still hundreds of feet long, one mother walked to the front of the store, claimed her son had to use the restroom and asked to be let inside. She was rebuffed.
Shoppers streamed through the doors, some cheering and some jogging. Others just bolted straight for their preferred deals.
"We're letting in too many!" a Target manager said at one point.
About five minutes after the store opened, Dexter resident Scott Krull was walking out of the store hauling a 46-inch Westinghouse TV he bought for $299.
"We just decided we wanted to de-clutter the living room and get this TV onto a stand," Krull said, and with that, it was off to Sears for power tools.
It took about 25 minutes for the entire line of shoppers to make their way into Target.
Ann Arbor resident Dana Alan was the first through the doors at Target. She secured the first spot in line at 8:30 a.m. Thursday with plans to buy the 46-inch Westinghouse TV.
She later regretted getting to the store so early — since no one else got to Target until 5 p.m.
She admitted it was her first time shopping on Black Friday.
"Otherwise I wouldn't have been here at 8 a.m.," she said.

A large contingent of police and security guards because in the other article the feds are poising the National Guard on Wal Mart and others who are not doing their job to contain the masses. Better watch out, big brother is watching.

Ann Arbor dot com has FIVE articles about Black Friday???? Really? Would a real newspaper do that?


text: I am looking for a case that will prevent the keyboard from sliding out. I know I will more than likely not find what I am looking for because the slide out keyboard is a selling point for this phone, but mine keeps sliding out in my pocket and I am concerned that the open portion of the keyboard might bend, flex or crack if it is bent the wrong way. Maybe I am being paranoid, but it never hurts to be preventative. Thanks

I bought these after searching far and wide for a chemical exfoliant that was neither too harsh, nor too weak to do its job – these pads have 2.8% glycolic acid, so I thought this was enough to get me started (you can never be too careful when it comes to chemicals and the skin on your face). These had some great reviews online, and were readily available in the nearest Boots store, so I went ahead and bought them.
The product's claims:
"Unveil younger-looking skin. 60 radiance-boosting pads, soaked in exfoliating glycolic acid retexture + resurface skin whilst witch hazel helps to tone. This moisturising formula with hyaluronic acid + soothing blue daisy helps to reveal brighter + smoother looking skin.
+ glycolic acid retextures + resurfaces
+ hyaluronic acid moisturises + refreshes
+ blue daisy soothes + calms"
I was initially worried these might upset my skin, but they didn't sting at all. They tingled a little, but I'm pretty sure that's just the chemical exfoliant getting to work (admittedly, they also stung my eyes a bit, but that's my own fault for playing it fast and loose by swiping too close to the eyeball area, #YOLO and all that). After using, I'd recommend you leave your face alone for about 10-20 minutes before adding any moisturisers or serums, so the product can do its job without being diluted. I've read a few complaints that they leave skin sticky, which they do a little, but I don't find it a problem as I only use them at night.
After the first use, I noticed my skin looked a little brighter. After a few days, any spots or excess redness had been reduced significantly. A week later, my face is the clearest it's been in a long time, and smoother than Morgan Freeman's voice. I like to combine it with La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo [+] anti-blemish cream (which I use in the mornings), and I think they compliment each other nicely*. I've only been using them once a day, so I can imagine they'd have an even better impact if used twice daily.
Another bonus is that the pads are drenched in the product, so you shouldn't have to worry about the last few pads drying out, or not being as saturated as the ones on the top.
I've found the best way to use these is at night, after cleansing my face. Alpha hydroxy acids can make your skin more sensitive to the sun (which is does state on the packaging), so if you're going to use these in the day, follow with a generous sunscreen.
Consistency: The pads are textured on one side, smooth on the other, and very saturated in a liquid which is a little sticky when dry.
Sensitive Skin Suitability: 4/5. They tingle a bit, and can leave skin feeling tight, but that's what they're supposed to do. I can deal with it, but more sensitive skins might want to be careful.
Price: £12.99, which is very reasonable considering it's got 60 pads which, when used once a day or less, equates to about 2 months worth of product.
Overall Rating: 10/10. Fast results, worth the money, don't upset my skin. I love these!
*You might be wondering if it's the Effaclar Duo doing the work because I said I've been using the products together, but I've been using Effaclar for about 2 months now, and it's great at getting rid of blackheads and reducing spots, but the Nip+Fab pads have been great at improving the overall texture, pore size, and complexion of the skin. Both products are excellent, together or by themselves, and I'll review the Effaclar Duo soon.

Sports provides enough action, drama, and suspense worth capturing on camera. As a sports photographer, you are expected to capture those moments in a way that the viewer will feel those emotions as well.
To be able to do that, one must have the right equipment for the job. Admittedly, choosing the right equipment for a photographic genre as dynamic as unlike what is being shot by the documentary wedding photographer, sports photography poses a challenge in itself, especially if you have little idea as to what you would need in the first place. Let his handy guide be of help to guide those who want to get started in sports photography as to what equipment you would need.
It is assumed that your main camera is a DSLR type which is the norm for sports photographers. As such, it is recommended that your DSLR should have a shutter speed of 1/500th of a second or higher.
If you can, try to invest as well in a second camera that would be able to do the job in case your main camera is having issues with battery life or other issues that may arise in the middle of the job you're doing as a photographer.
If you will be covering various sporting events, you will need a variety of lenses as well. Chances are, you will need one type of lens for some sports that will allow you to be near the playing area like basketball, volleyball, or other similar sports, while another lens for other sports that would require you to be at a safe distance from the playing area like football.
To give you an idea, here are the types of lenses you would need as a sports photographer:
- At least a 70-200 zoom lens to capture the action from the distance like if you're on the basketball court or football field and you can only photograph the action from a distance
- A 17-35 wide angle zoom lens for those wide angle shots, as well as for group photos and portraits
Other equipment
For sports photography, it is also essential to have a tele-converter, preferably a 1.5 and/or 2x tele-converter to extend the focal length of you lens, especially if you are either on a tight budget and cannot afford a new lens or if you do not have a longer lens available with you at that moment.
It is also a good idea to bring spare batteries and memory cards in your bag in case of emergencies like low battery or low storage availability so you will be able to capture every moment.
Also, if the situation calls for it, bring a sturdy tripod with you to be able to capture the action better with the benefit of stability the tripod provides. Alternately, you can use a monopod to do the job if the tripod would be too bulky for you.
You may also need to have speed lights, as well as everything needed to hook them up, if you are covering indoor events for better lighting the venue may not be able to provide.
A rain cover will also be handy to protect your gear if in case it rains at the venue and if the venue is outdoors.
Lastly, your gear should be placed in a weatherproof camera bag for the protection of your gear. Make sure as well that the bag would be able to contain all your equipment and mobile enough for you to carry it from one venue to another.
Knowing the equipment you need and having them at your disposal at whatever sporting event you will cover is very important for sports photography. As long as you have the proper equipment for the game, you have at least taken a step forward in becoming a skilled sports photographer.

We Are Not London
2 comments:
- Socialist Worker said...
Parts of England had referenda to settle the question as to whether we would have regional assemblies as an extra tier of government - we said no! Then along comes the highly suspicious independence vote in Scotland in which the people narrowly vote for continuation of despotic rule from London (aka the Stock Exchange) over freedom. Now we are to have Mayor imposed and the hated false regions imposed upon us anyway. This is surely what the Scottish vote was all about - crushing the spirit of Scottish hope and destroying what is left of rural England by splitting the country into city-states all ruled by the centre.
What we need is a Federation of Sovereign Nations, each with the freedom to leave the Federation at any time should they wish to. What we are getting is more centralisation masquerading as devolution and further erosion of what precious little freedom we have by the Ruling Class in the City of London and in the other hubs of the Global Financial Gulag.

'We' said No? London said Yes; the North East said No. Both are examples of regionalism in action: coming up with your own answers, albeit to wholly inadequate questions.
But WE in Wessex are still waiting for OUR referendum. The media drone on and on about the 2004 vote as having settled the regional issue once and for all. They miss the most vital point about regionalism: that one region cannot decide the fate of another.

Chalk Paint Coffee Table
- February 16, 2016
- By tobi crawford
- 0 Comments
Hi there! The blog has been slow lately because the husband and I just got back from an amazing trip to Rome. What a fantastic city - I must have said "WOW" a thousand times. The amount of priceless treasures and buildings/sculptures that adorn the city is just too much to handle sometimes. We definitely suffered from historical overload some days...
But now I'm back in Shanghai taking it easy for the rest of the New Years holiday (3 weeks!!) and that means spring cleaning... Last year we did some work around the house to spruce it up, and this year I wanted to do the same. So we bought a new refrigerator (almost normal size) and I chalk painted our coffee table.
Here it is. It's from Ikea and actually I think it's pretty great. I just wanted to customize it a little bit!
These are the colours I used. I put a pretty thick layer of Emile (purple) on first with touches of Provence, then let that dry. Then I watered down Old White and did a wash on top.
I used two waxes. The Dorland's wax was an all-over application, and the Americana Decor creme wax was just around the edges for a bit of antiquing.
All finished! And I think the girls like it too!!
I love that you can see the purple and turquoise peeking through... I'm so happy with it!
Thanks for stopping by!

Darphin Intral Cream
Darphin Intral Cream Overview
Darphin Intral Skin Cream is used to hydrate and protect skin. The product can be used for both face and body. Darphin Intral skin cream is designed to aid people with problematic skin. Formulated to revive dry blotchy skin, this product provides the user with two benefits. The first being sensitivity. Darphin Intral Skin Cream affords the user sensitivity with out compromising results. The second benefit is ample hydration.
The website is exceptional for three reasons. First, it is easy to navigate. Second, it provides the reader with information that is comprehensible to a general audience. And third, it provides the visitor with features like a free consultation, customer service, and live chat. In addition if the visitor is ready to purchase the product they can order directly from the information page.
Darphin Intral Cream – Product Description
Darphin Intral Cream appeals to persons with dry, blotchy, or red irritated skin. The manufacturer combines four key ingredients to formulate "Calm Complex." The key ingredients in the "Calm Complex" formula are; chamomile, hawthorn extract, panthenol, and peony extract.
Chamomile, is used to reduce skin sensitivity. Hawthorn extract helps to protect the capillaries. Panthenol protects and rebuilds the skin barrier. And finally peony extract which acts as both an anti irritant and anti oxidant.
Darphin Intral Cream Advantage
- The product provides both hydration, and protection from harmful contaminants in the environment.
- The product is relieves blotches, and revives red irritated skin.
- The website is user friendly and informative.
- The product works great during the winter.
Darphin Intral Cream – Drawbacks
- The product is expensive.
Darphin Intral Cream – The Bottomline
Darphin Intral Cream appears to be an excellent selection for people with problematic skin. While reading what other consumers have to say about Darphin Intral Cream I learned that it was held in high esteem by all reviews. It is recommended that the product be used especially during the winter months. Which implies that the product is formulated to hydrate extremely dry skin.
Darphin Intral Cream is costly, however the product appears to achieve very favorable results. Each customer who reviewed the product agreed that the product is worth the money.
The web design is simple and to the point. There website provides features that are informative. In addition, Darphin has included a live chat option which enables the reader to talk to a representative live. This is a smart, powerful tool. By providing the visitor with additional help, with out having to wait for a response from email, or leaving the visitor to search the internet for more information, live chat increases the likeliness that the visitor will convert to a customer.
In conclusion, the product appears to be worth the investment, and the website is a tool used to convert page views to sales. Darphin Intral Cream should also be acknowledged for not having unfavorable reviews. This is important to a consumer. It is a heavy feat to have a product that by and large satisfies it's targeted demographic. The only recommendation I have is the addition of a testimonial page. Testimonials are very effective in helping a consumer make an educated purchase. With a product like Darphin Intral Cream that is so well received the manufacturer is doing its self a disservice by not informing their potential customers of their level of excellence.

Here's one sure bet in Atlantic City—none of the lawyers involved in the Vioxx litigation against Merck want to get blamed for leaking information to the media.
But one of them just might get the heat for disclosing a document last week to the Associated Press, which wrote a story suggesting the drug maker may have known more about heart problems caused by its Vioxx painkiller than was acknowledged publicly.
Starting today, Superior Court Judge Carol Higbee will be questioning several attorneys—on a one-by-one basis behind closed doors—to find out who leaked the document, which was about a patent for Vioxx proposed by Ed Scolnick, Merck's former chief scientist.
The leak came shortly after Higbee granted Merck's request to keep the document confidential, even though the drug maker inadvertently gave it to attorneys who filed some of the 2,000 Vioxx lawsuits against Merck in state court in Atlantic County.
It's easy to understand why Higbee is perturbed.
In her May 27 ruling, which became available publicly only last week, Higbee wrote that all copies of the document "must be returned to Merck or destroyed immediately" by the attorneys.
It's not clear what, if any action Higbee may take. Some characterized the questioning as a student being called into the principal's office, but others say Higbee could decide an attorney is in contempt of court. So far, Merck isn't seeking sanctions.
The episode is being closely watched, especially since the first Vioxx trial in the nation is scheduled to begin next month in Texas. The run-up to the July 11 event is prompting a lot of behind-the- scenes posturing by Merck and lawyers representing plaintiffs.
The first lawsuit in any national litigation often sets the tone for others that will follow. Wall Street thinks Merck may face billions of dollars in liability. And dozens of attorneys have a stake in the outcome, including many from New Jersey, New York and Philadelphia.
The first lawsuit filed in Atlantic City is expected to go to trial in September.
Another judge agreed yesterday to reconsider an earlier decision on whether attorneys in the hundreds of Vioxx lawsuits can question the other side's witnesses.
The hearing before U.S. District Judge Eldon Fallon focused on two points deemed critical by patients suing the drug giant: whether they will have access to records concerning Vioxx maker Merck's sales force of some 3,000 people, and whether Merck can talk to doctors who prescribed the drug. Plaintiffs' attorneys want to have the records for their cases, but also are asking Fallon to prevent Merck's lawyers from speaking with the doctors.

3 out of 5 (good)
Independent Reviewer for Archaeolibrarian - I Dig Good Books!
This was an okay read. There were some good plot twists, a good little suspense addition, and a sweet romance.
The characters were fun and the banter back and forth was fun. However, I feel like their character development was slightly lacking. I think a little more detail and descriptions for each character could have really ramped up their own individuality.
Descriptions and details were okay. The cave descriptions were neat, and provided a pretty picture. I would have appreciated a little more details about the scenery and the characters. I don't feel like we had much detail or descriptions regarding the actual characters.
I think this story has the promise to be a great read. It was lacking some oomph, some excitement, a little more emotion to drag me in. It wasn't a bad read by any means and I liked what I read. However, I wasn't fully invested, I didn't fall in love with the story or the characters. I felt that something major was missing from the story.
So, could I recommend this story to you? Sure, of course, again, I did enjoy reading it. However, I couldn't recommend the story with the promise it will grab you from page one and have the story left with you after the last page.

Most of my life has been spent living on a farm between Matson and Defiance, Mo., which are two small towns about two miles apart. The Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad, also known as the Katy Railroad, ran through our farm. The lower part was our farmland and the upper part was hills and woods, with the house sitting on a hill.
Our bottom land was along the Missouri river, and we had many floods over the years, which destroyed a lot of crops. The big flood of 1986 washed the tracks out, and it was too expensive to repair them, so the government took them over.
Now the old tracks have become the Katy Trail, which has become very popular with bicycle riders and hikers. Our little towns are now a tourist attraction, especially in the fall, when the leaves are bright and colorful, overlooking the bluffs.

Back in 1955 a call went out from the editors of the then Capper's Weekly asking for readers to send in articles on true pioneers. Hundreds of letters came pouring in from early settlers and their children, many now in their 80s and 90s, and from grandchildren of settlers, all with tales to tell. So many articles were received that a decision was made to create a book, and in 1956, the first My Folks title – My Folks Came in a Covered Wagon – hit the shelves. Nine other books have since been published in the My Folks series, all filled to the brim with true tales from Capper's readers, and we are proud to make those stories available to our growing online community.

Kenya-born, England-raised photographer James Mollison has created a series called Where Children Sleep: 'stories of diverse children around the world, told through portraits and pictures of their bedrooms.'
I find this work thought-provoking from many angles - social, political, etc., and in the context of this blog, a good representation of clashes between 'material cultures'. Not so much linked to the country (a lot of the extremes shown here probably have a replication everywhere you go), but rather linked to revenues, customs, and spending patterns.
Here are 2 bedroom photographs from the series, with the personal belongings of the children laid out in the space:
- the first photo fascinates me because
1) the accumulation of objects in the room seems to overcome the life that can take place within it - more museum than bedroom, at least from that angle
2) light, furniture/flooring, and most of these objects are artificial (neon light, particle board, fake wood, hard & soft plastics, artificial fabrics & fur)
3) through sheer number, they overfulfill a need (hundreds of toys vs. the basic need to play / 20+ heavily decorated outfits vs. the basic need to be dressed).
- the second photo fascinates me because
1) the presence of raw materials is almost brutal (earth floor, clay & wood walls, reeds on the roof, etc.) + natural light
2) it seems we could trace each object back to a basic need (a backpack to carry things, a pair of shorts and underwears, blankets to be warm, a platform to sleep on, a rope to hold clothes...)
I wonder about the kind of society that creates the former - I feel that I belong to it, and that photograph is simply one of its most radical illustrations - where 'comfort' is created through the massive production of heavily designed items, relying heavily on the petro-chemical industry, taking up space and blurring our vision of necessary vs. superfluous. What kind of action/behavior could turn it around?
Even if I can never tell whether Ahkohxet is happier or not than Kaya, poorer or not in all the possible meanings of 'poverty', burdened by the same petrochemical industry but in more complex ways, I am attracted to the idea that anybody, regardless of their wealth, could make the choice of owning very few, but useful and therefore meaningful, things.
Thoughts from my friend Scott while this article was still in the works :'In addition to the obvious conclusions about material obsessions and
waste, another way of looking at these is to ask "who has more?" in a
broader context. Maybe the roles are reversed? Material possessions can
isolate people. It would be interesting to see what each child's
"outside" looks like, and what they experience in a typical day with
family and neighbors.'
And from my friend Nick, who lives in the US: 'Ahkohxet's room looks like my bedroom when I was his age - drab drab drab :)'
Photographs published with the kind permission of James Mollison.
For those interested, the book Where Children Sleep is currently sold out, but will be reprinted later this year by Chris Boot.

When a successful ballet dancer leaves a company with little fanfare, the cause usually tends to be some backstage melodrama. But the surprise departure of Alexandra Ansanelli from the New York City Ballet, where she was a principal, has more to do with the roles she hopes to dance than with politics. Ms. Ansanelli, 24, says she wants to dance the classics.
"It was a hard decision," she said this week, having performed with City Ballet for the last time on July 22 at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center. "I joined the company when I was 15, so it's like my second family. But in terms of artistic growth as a ballerina, I want to keep learning. I've always had a passion for the classics: the music, the choreography, the stories."
In a statement issued on behalf of City Ballet, Robert Daniels, managing director of marketing and communications, acknowledged that Ms. Ansanelli "has decided to leave the company to pursue other opportunities."
The odd thing about the scenario is that Ms. Ansanelli has not signed another contract. At the moment, she said, she has no plans.
"I literally feel like a free spirit," she added. "It's very strange."
City Ballet emphasizes the streamlined, modern work of George Balanchine. Ms. Ansanelli is the type of dancer who relishes preparation and control both in her dancing and in her career, and she has shown a different side of her personality by taking such a step.
"This was risky," she said. "But I had been so devoted to City Ballet for so long that to organize something in the background didn't feel right. I was not going to end it that way, even though there would probably be more opportunity for me now if I had."
So far, she added, she has "sent out feelers" to one company, which she refused to name. (American Ballet Theater, with its emphasis on story ballets, would seem the most logical fit.)Continue reading the main story
Ms. Ansanelli acknowledges that wherever she ends up, the transition won't be easy.
"I know there's a whole other idiom involved," she said. "When I danced 'Sleeping Beauty' at City Ballet, I only had two weeks to learn it, one week with a teacher and another with a partner. It's not enough. I don't want to criticize any system, but I knew I had to take a plunge in order to experience something new in my life. I have a dream, and it may not happen, but I'm willing to take the chance."Continue reading the main story

Introducing the latest little "House" member
I've always enjoyed naming my children. I like different kind of names, and one's that have a special meaning
Genesis Lin = "Beginning" She is our first and the Beautiful Beginning to our family. Lin was after me
Jude Steven = "Praise, Thanks". Steven means "Crowned" and is named after my Dad and my older brother
Zane Adrien = "God is Gracious". Adrien is his Daddy's middle name
Gabe Artem = "God is my Strength" Artem was his given first name
Levi Vitalik = "Joined in Harmony" Vitalik was his given birth name
And our newest little one we have named....
Well first I have to tell you how we came to name him!
All my kids have a story behind their names, so of course I have to share his.
You know we have been calling him Kole and that is because after hearing the nannies all call him Kolya last year, which sounds close to Kole, we decided that he recognizes his name and we should keep it close to what he is used to
We will be keeping his given name on his birth certificate which is Mykola, pronounced = mi-cola
But we will call him Kole
And for his middle name we decided to name him after my two younger brothers,
Luke and Adam
My brother Luke
My sisters, Tanya & Kara, Luke and Me
I'm sure he is sick of hearing me tell this, but when he was a baby he would call me, Mommy Ninnie. He couldn't pronounce Lindy, thus the Ninnie
I was a second mommy to him. Dressed him, fed him, and changed his diapers
Nice thought huh Luke?
The comedian of the family. From a very young age he had the ability to make anyone laugh. He is the only sibling out of 6 that could get out of a spanking by waving his bottom back and forth and saying, "Hit the moving target"
Witty, hard working, generous, selfless, compassionate, comforter
That's my brother Luke
I cannot wait to see what God has in store for him cause I know with God, Luke is gonna do some amazing things!
Watch out world
There is no stopping the moving target
Then there is the baby of the family, Adam
Amber and Adam's Engagement Photo. Their wedding is next month!
There are 15 years between the two of us
I practiced my mothering skills on him too when he was little
Dressed him, fed him, and yes, you know the rest
I learned early on that he was a carbon copy of my older brother, which is crazy since he was only 1 year old when my older brother moved away
I also learned quickly that when you are on the road and he asks you how much longer, do not say a couple minutes. Because after 2 minutes he will tell you that it has been exactly 120 seconds and we aren't there yet like I said we would be. Adam at the age of 5 could add and multiply better than any adult in the room
My Jude man is a mini Adam. His humor, gentleness. And my Zane has Adam's obsession with numbers
Adam has a passion for learning but most importantly, a passion for God
Strong, smart, caring, focused, patient, giving
I am supper blessed to have Luke and Adam as my little brothers
I love that I can call them friend
So it is with great pleasure I introduce to you,
Kole: Victory of the People
Luke: Light
Adam: Earth
Oh yes, this boy is gonna rock this world!

Hi Jaime
Meryre II's tomb has the last appearance of the royal Amarna family dated to Year 12 and these representations are followed by Smenkhkare's debut with Meritaten by his side.
I too think the close proximity of these two scenes in the tomb of Meryre means they were executed about the same time - but after the death of Akhenaten, Nefertiti and Mekitaten. The dubar scene is a anachronistic rendition while the Smenkhkare/Meritaten scene is a contemporary scene with both scenes intended to depict important moments in Meryres career. They are thus from the one year period following the death of Akhenaten while his queen/daughter Meritaten was waiting for the arrival of Smenkhkare - that is the name that the Egyptian had provided for the Hittite prince Zannanza (which itself is a Hittite rendition of Egyptian zȝ-n-nzw, son of the king). Yes I am not one who dogmatically holds to the notion that an Egyptian princess/queen could not marry a foreigner because the whole Taḫamunzu (the Hittite rendition of Egyptian tȝ-ḥmt-nzwt, the kings wife) incident proves that such a notion is wrong.
The dubar scene in Meryres tomb is dated to year 12, but it has several anachronistic features
But what about Berlin 20716 and Berlin 17813? In it, Akhenaten is accompanied by a female king, who is clearly more than just his political partner.
Berlin 20716, which is not inscribed, and Berlin 17813, where the cartouches are blank, were posthumous stelae supporting Meritatens claim to kingship as ḥmt-wife (not sꜣt-daughter) of Akhenaten. The triple cartouche intended for Meritaten on BM 17813 is the same form she used on the posthumous Carter 001k - see my post
Tutankhamun wasn't also the only baby around in Amarna, don't forget about Meritaten Tasherit and Ankhsepaaten Tasherit
Phantom children only ever depicted/mentioned in illustrations/texts from the Kiya dedicated Meru-Aten. Her original inscriptions were later reinscribed to represent the older surviving daughters of Akhenaten. Since neither Meritaten or Ankhesepaaten had a child the original accompanying child was named after the newly labelled women. They do not exist or are even mentioned outside these reinscribed scenes.
Note that the coffin where the mummy was found wasn't even meant to be for Akhenaten ... AFAIK, the coffin is considered to have been reused from a female to fit Akhenaten, although I haven't read Perepelkin.
You need to read the work of Grimm and Schoske who examined the original bands and inscriptions (unknown to Perepelkin) on the Munich fragments (before they were returned to Cairo). As I said in my recent post, they concluded that the coffin was specifically made for Akhenaten and underwent no major modification. (However sometime after Tutankhamun reburied it in the Valley of the Kings, someone ordered Akhenatens names to be chiseled out of the inscriptions).
But Smenkhkare's name appears some times in the tomb by his own, or with Meritaten's, or his possessions are reused.
No the (erased) name Smenkhkare only appears on that vase. Since Akhenatens name was not erased on other inscriptions in Tutankhamuns tomb, clearly the erasure was due to the presence of the name Smenkhkare and particularly its use in the combination Akhenaten/Smenkhkare. Do not confuse the presence of the name Ankhkheperure as proof of the presence of Smenkhkare. This incorrect juxtaposition (especially in almost all older literature and even in recent literature) is why his name appears over and over again, even thought its actually attestation is quite rare in monumental inscriptions. Whenever you see his name in the literature you have to be very careful. Almost 99 times out of 100 the inscription will say only Ankhkeperure or (less common) Neferneferuaten. I find your position that Smenkhkare was the father of Tutankhamun and the mummy in KV 55, quite strange in that Tutankhamun would have reburied his father but failed to record his name or give him any grave goods that contained his name and in Tutankhamuns own tomb he erased his name.
Whatever the case, one can't disregard forensic results, or else we'd have a 25 year old Akhenaten at death
Agree. Therefore, like you I make a choice. I choose the most recent CT scan and previous X-ray studies and even those physical examinations which concluded 30+ (although not the one that said up to 60).
Regards Joe

Gee, and I thought I had a hard time keeping up before!
Sweet baby Joshua has complicated life around here. Of course, he's the apple of my eye, but he also makes the time I have on the computer a little more interesting...because I've only got one hand available then. Add to that our regular internet outages (something is causing it to go out all night and periodically throughout the day) and all the other things that demand my attention (do these people really need to eat EVERY day???) and it all adds up to not posting in nearly a month. If I still have any readers left, I do plan to do better. And yes, once again, I am dreaming of the slower pace of winter.
Quick update: We are now climbing about 6 feet down out of our side door (our front door is even higher above ground level) as they have begun excavation for our addition! It is quite a sight to behold...handing a baby out of a house that is practically on stilts! No sleep-walking allowed around here!
I've got pictures to sort through and posts to compose...now just to find the time to do it! Maybe I just need to learn to type one-handed.

Vegan Treats From Levenshulme Market
Matt had never heard of it but is now a big fan. I don't know what vegan cheese they used but it tasted great and the skin on chips were perfectly drowned in mushroom gravy. We will definitely be back for more of this. As well as the poutine stall there were lots of great artist run stalls and various other world food stalls and a bar. We were amazed to see vegan options clearly listed on most of the food stalls. We spotted noodle dishes, Indian snacks, empanadas, fantastic breads, cake and icecreams. We didn't have a great deal of cash on us but we decided to try two cuisines so alongside the poutine we picked the Polish stall. Here we picked up of box of mixed vegan pierogies to take home. These came with gerkins and pickled veg. They were mushroom and buckwheat and cabbage and sauerkraut if I remember correctly. It was my first introduction to pierogies and I loved them.
The Polish stall was also selling Kombucha for just £1 a bottle. I tried the maple flavour in this brand last year and adored it so I'm excited to try this Schisandra flavour. I'd never heard of Schisandra but apparently it's a berry used in traditional Chinese medicine and is good for colds.
Hopefully the kombucha will come in handy this weekend as I've had a stinking cold for the last week. I'm taking it easy today trying to get over it whilst Matt's out playing at a festival then tomorrow we're hoping to tackle the overgrown mess that is our backyard tomorrow if the weather holds. Being a British bank holiday weekend it's probably unlikely!
It'll be homemade roast veg and chorizo sausage pizza for tea tonight. The chorizo seitan sausage is from Viva Vegan. I made a batch the other week then chopped up the sausage and froze the chunks so I can just grab a handful for pizza or tofu scrambles. The picture above is our dessert. It's the chocolate peanut butter brownies from the Superfun Times Vegan Holdiay Cookbook which I got for Christmas and this is shockingly the first thing I've actually made from it. If any has any recommendations for other recipes please leave them in the comments.

"Woman Of God I just want you to know that what you said about my mother was said about two months ago by a young lady that didn't even know her, I've thought I had gotten over her death she passed in 92 but I guess in my subconscious I must still be grieving for her and not known it I keep asking God why does it feel like I'm at a stand still, thank you for allowing God to use you, how do I move on, could it be because I have her ashes they were to have been spread in California by my eldest son but it didn't happen, long story but I ended up with them, I am going to seek God, I know that she's not in the ashes and that it's just something that is a custom in families."

"Hi Allyssa. I just finished watching your live broadcast. I didn't want to break the prophetic flow, so I kept my comments to a minimum. However, I want you to know how much your speaking today blessed me. I am 56 years old. I have been saved and baptized in the Holy Spirit for almost 31 years. You spoke into so many different areas of my life. I have been having pain in my hip that had almost stopped me from going out of the house much. I am not on a cane, but I know it could have reached that point. You said I need a job. That is true. It is also true that the worsening pain was making it harder and harder for me to have hope that I would ever be able to work again. I have been gaining weight for the past three years. I worked as a teacher assistant in special education. The word you spoke over me today came as a lifesaver!"
Susan Davis Stevens
"Hi Prophetess you prophesied over me today and the things you said was so true my mom had me at 18 but every time I go into to a job I feel rejected and from my family members but I couldn't understand why and god reveal it to me today but I feel so hurt how my mom rejected I don't know why she is deceased now so that why I question it but I thank you so much For allowing God to use you your truly sent from God I never knew this until today wow."
Terria Howard
"Prophetess You prophesied to me on yesterday, and called my name out!!! You said God is releasing my financial angel!!! I just wanted you to know I got some money on yesterday!!! The word came to pass!!! You know a true prophet when what they speak comes to pass!!! You are a true prophet!!! To God be the glory in Jesus mighty name, Amen!!! Blessings"
Judith Rejouis
"When Prophetess Allyssa prayed for my children my daughter no longer had a struggle in school with her academics. She made a complete turn around!"
Maryjane Nwagbara: "I am Maey Jane!!! Everything you just declared is true. I lost a son. I thought about him today. There is a deliverance ministry upon my life. Yesss. I will believe God in Jesus name. And Yes the man in my house is looking to use me for the purpose of gain. And yes WOG (Allyssa) others have used me too. All I want to do is God's will. You have been a blessing to us. Thank you, thank you, thank you. "

Smart and Hot
February 16, 2011, by Cathy Fischer
Cathy finds a beautiful day in the bay, sunny, cloudy and confusing
There's a new girl in town: a new weather girl. Yes, they still use that term. Even though she's a full-grown woman and an ordained meteorologist, she's the new Bay Area "girl" and she's H-O-T.
Meet Christina Loren, Today in the Bay's morning cup of sexy; and boy does she pour it on. Case in point: see screenshot above. While she's got a rockin' bod (if you're into the Barbie look), she's actually got brains too and a fun on-air personality, but what she's selling isn't what's behind her botoxed forehead or what's coming from her bee stung lips; she's selling what sells, S-E-X.
Loren wears short dresses and tops that are so tight I wouldn't be surprised if she isn't single-handedly keeping Lycra in business. This bombshell likes to accentuate her "assets" all right: buttons on nipples? Really? (Talk about high beams!)
The NBC station affiliate isn't missing a beat; there's an ad campaign in full swing. Numerous bus shelters and billboards show Loren perfectly coiffed and glossed, seated with a deep blue sky and white fluffy clouds behind her, "It's always a beautiful day in the Bay." No, I don't think they're referring to the weather.
Frankly, I can't remember who was doing the weather before Loren breezed in; I think it may have been a man. The regular morning news anchors are a married couple that recently had triplets, so now anchor Laura Garcia-Cannon is perceived as a mom, in other words, no longer hot.
Based on Loren's look and posture, I wondered if she was a graduate from a spokesmodel academy, but after a bit of research I found that she holds a B.A. in Economics and minored in Communications. She started out as a traffic anchor (note: they don't use the word "girl" in this context) then extended her repertoire with some grad work and a three-year certification program to become a meteorologist.
When Loren left traffic reporting in South Florida for her new California gig, there were comments about her departure. Here are two examples, from both the male and female perspective:
Wow… *speechless* she likes to dress sexy. I felt like I was watching a Forever 21 ad instead of a weathercast. I really have no words. She has a nice presence on air — so I don't understand why she dresses so "trendy".
Really going to miss her perky attitude and her implants. Perfect for South Florida in the AM. Hopefully they'll get someone just as perky but with bigger implants.
Sigh. Christina Loren is a grown-up example of what historian and author Stephanie Coontz calls the new feminine mystique — the "hottie mystique". She describes it as the idea that "young women have to not only achieve in ways never expected…but to compensate for that achievement they must show that they are completely hot, sexual and desirable." When I heard Coontz talk about this on Fresh Air, I thought, yes, that's true! The stereotype of smart used to be the asexual schoolmarm and now it's all about sizzling hotness — a head for business and a bod for sin.
I disagree with Coontz however when she says that a lot of women grow out of the "hottie mystique" phase in their teens. It's difficult to outgrow pressure to be desirable and hot, and even if you do succeed, it can take years (or menopause).
An Indiana University study found that for male television viewers, the sexual attractiveness of female news anchors keeps them from recalling the actual content of the women's reports. (They needed a study for that?) So if Today in the Bay is looking to boost their male ratings rather than inform viewers about what's on the Doppler radar, then they've chosen well.
My local weather girl isn't a "dumb blond" after all; she just plays one on TV and, as the philosopher of our times Paris Hilton says, "That's hot."

Reigning champion Real Madrid is supporting plans to expand the Club World Cup to 24 teams following a meeting at FIFA.
Madrid is part of the European Club Association Brian Allen Jersey Rams , which has voiced concerns about FIFA President Gianni Infantino's proposals for a quadrennial Club World Cup to replace the annual tournament and pushed for players to get more mandatory rest periods.
Europe's top domestic competitions, including the English Premier League and Spain's La Liga, have also opposed FIFA's plans.
But Madrid, winner of the last two editions of the Club World Cup, is endorsing Infantino's vision of the tournament being played every four years in June or July with 12 representatives from Europe.
Madrid's director of institutional relations, Emilio Butragueno, believes fans would prefer the new tournament over the current seven-team format.
BERLIN (AP) – German officials called on the global soccer federation FIFA to intervene Saturday after a journalist who exposed systematic doping in Russian athletics was denied entry to Russia to report on the upcoming World Cup.
German lawmaker Dagmar Freitag JK Scott Jersey Packers , who chairs the sports committee in parliament, said the cancellation of Hajo Seppelt's visa was "not just completely unjustified, but pretty scandalous."
Freitag told German news agency dpa she was "anxious to see how (FIFA chief Gianni) Infantino reacts."
Reinhard Grindel, the head of the German soccer federation, also noted FIFA's pledge to uphold press freedom. He told dpa he had "full confidence FIFA will use its influence so Mr. Seppelt can report unhindered from Russia."
Seppelt works for German public broadcaster ARD. FIFA confirmed that it had already approved his accreditation request and was trying to obtain further information from Russian authorities about the case.
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) – Tiger Woods shot a 3-under 69 in the final round of the Players Championship and tied for 11th at 11-under 277.
His round could have been much closer to the 65 he shot Saturday, except his approach on 14 spun off the green. He then missed an 8-foot par putt that caused him to flip his club Youth Robert Griffin III Jersey , ended up with a disappointing bogey and limped home with a double at the famed 17th . Woods, however, left the course feeling better than ever about his comeback. He's still seeking his first victory since returning from a fourth back surgery.
"This weekend was more like it," Woods said.
Woods felt like he finally pulled together all aspects of his game: His driving was impeccable, his iron play was better than it's been all week and his putting was as good as it's been all season. He stirred packed galleries into a frenzy on Mother's Day while wearing his traditional red shirt. Fans young and old stood dozens deep, scurrying from tee to fairway to green, just for a brief peek at Woods.
CHICAGO (AP) – Major League Baseball has warned Ben Zobrist of the Chicago Cubs against wearing black cleats.
Zobrist posted a letter from the league office on Instagram saying the cleats he wore May 2 against Colorado violated the collective bargaining agreement. MLB says they must be at least 51 percent blue – the Cubs' color – and warned he could be fined and disciplined if he doesn't comply.
Zobrist wrote he has worn black cleats for day games at Wrigley Field the past two years to honor the game's past. He said he was inspired by watching highlights of greats such as Ernie Banks and Stan Musial in the 1950s and 1960s.
He had little to say about the warning after the Cubs beat the crosstown White Sox on Saturday Youth Vita Vea Jersey , other than he plans to talk to the league and union about it. He came in to play left field as part of a double switch. And yes, he had on black cleats.
BOSTON (AP) – Jaylen Brown had 23 points and eight rebounds, Marcus Morris added 21 points and 10 boards, and the Boston Celtics opened a 21-point, first-quarter lead and scorched the Cleveland Cavaliers 108-83 on Sunday in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals.
Al Horford scored 20 points for the Celtics, who ran off 17 consecutive points in the first quarter and never allowed the Cavaliers within single digits again. Boston led by 28 when Cleveland coach Tyronn Lue pulled LeBron James for good with 7:09 left.
Game 2 is Tuesday night.
Kevin Love had 17 points and eight rebounds, and James finished with 15 points Youth Jonathan Allen Jersey , nine assists and seven boards. The Cavaliers missed their first 14 3-point attempts of the game and shot just 32 percent in the first half.
By that time, Boston led 61-35 – the biggest halftime playoff deficit in James' career.
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) – The Washington Capitals scored in the opening minute of the game and twice in the last 1:02 of the second period to pull away to a 6-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday night and a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference final.
Evgeny Kuznetsov and Lars Eller each had a goal and two assists. Alex Ovechkin and Tom Wilson had a goal and an assist apiece.
Devante Smith-Pelly and Brett Connolly also scored for the Caps, who took the first two games of the best-of-seven matchup on the road. Since 1974-75, teams that take a 2-0 lead in the conference final or semifinal have a series record of 39-2 (95.1 percent).
Game 3 is Tuesday night in Washington.
Braden Point and Steven Stamkos had early power-play goals for Tampa Bay, which rebounded after falling behind on Wilson's goal 28 seconds into the game.

To read the reviews for the just-released Divergent movie is to believe that Lions Gate (NYSE:LGF-A) wasted the bulk of the $85 million it spent to produce the film. Only 53 of the 132 reviews tracked at Rotten Tomatoes rate the film as fresh, and even those come with qualifiers.
"If you can forget what it's saying, Divergent is fairly entertaining," reviewer David Edelstein wrote for Vulture. Just the sort of backhanded compliment I'd expect if the intent is to explain why an otherwise mediocre movie might succeed despite itself.
I've yet to see Divergent so I can't comment on its quality. What I can tell you is that bad reviews won't keep this movie from making serious moola for Lions Gate. Here's why:
Domestic weekend opening
at least $53 million (est.)
$69.6 million
Rotten Tomatoes (critics / audiences)
40% / 81%
49% / 73%
The read? For all their influence, critics aren't good at predicting box office success or failure. Early audience reaction is far more prescient. Here, all signs point to a warm reception for director Neil Burger's kick-start to the Divergent movie franchise.
After all, not many movies earn an "A" CinemaScore -- only three others in recent months, including box office winners The Lego Movie, Ride Along, and Mr. Peabody & Sherman. With a better overall CinemaScore, it's a fair bet that Divergent will earn close to the $397.9 million worldwide that Twilight generated in 2008.
And what if it doesn't? Remember the context. Lions Gate subsidiary Summit Entertainment scheduled most of the Twilight and Hunger Games films for November, which tends to be a much better month for movies than March.
Take last year's results. Oz the Great Powerful led the U.S. box office, earning $234.9 million for distributor Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) and 24% of the total domestic haul for March 2013. Seven months later, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire earned $424.4 million at U.S. theaters, good for about 29% of November's domestic gross. Interestingly, the last time March's top film beat November's best was 2012 when The Hunger Games grossed $408 million at U.S. theaters on the way to earning $684.5 million worldwide.
So ignore the critics, Fool. The ones buying the tickets don't just want to see the movie -- they want to see an entire Divergent movie franchise.

These stylised figures of flower girls are by Jie of Sweden. They were designed by Elsi Bourelius. There's a hole in the front of the girl for water and a sprig of flowers. I like the simplified unglazed faces and hands in brown clay, even though they have no expressions and no facial features. I would say they were made about the mid-1970s but I'm not sure of that.
Unfortunately, I have to make some room in my cupboards. And, although it was a hard decision, I have to sell these three figures. So it's a sad bye-bye to the lovely flower girls from Sweden.

20 November 1957 - Ajax Goes European
Ajax failed to qualify for the first two European Cups, but made it into the 1957-58 tournament by winning the Eredivisie the previous season. They were one of seven teams, including defending champions Real Madrid, to receive a bye in the first round, placing them directly into the Round of 16.
There, they faced East German champions SC Wismut, who had advanced out of the preliminary round with a coin toss after their playoff match against Gwardia Warsaw was halted after 100 minutes when the floodlights failed.
Wismut hosted the first leg and promptly fell behind to the visitors after a goal from winger Piet van der Kuil in the fifth minute. Wim Bleijenberg doubled the lead eleven minutes later, then van der Kuil struck again in the 64th minute. Wismut got a consolation goal in the 86th minute to set the final margin at 1-3 for Ajax.
Ajax won the second leg 1-0 one week later to advance to the quarterfinals where they fell to Hungarian side Vasas 2-6 on aggregate. Afterward, they became one of the most successful teams in European competition, winning the European Cup in 1971, 1972, and 1973, then again in 1995 (after it had been renamed the Champions League). They also finished as runners-up in 1969 and 1996.

As Florence makes landfall, 3 other tropical systems are churning in the Atlantic
Slideshow by photo services
MIAMI - As Hurricane Florence made landfall near Wrightsville Beach on the North Carolina coast, bringing sustained winds of 68 mph and a flooding storm surge, at least three other named storms are still churning in the Atlantic.
The enduring Tropical Storm Helene is picking up speed and accelerating northward at 23 mph with sustained winds of 65 mph. The system is expected to bring its gusty winds, which extend some 140 miles from its center, and heavy rains to the Azores, according to the National Hurricane Center.
The tropical storm-force winds from Helene should begin impacting the Azores around 8 a.m. Monday. Helene is expected to then weaken and poses no threat to the United States, as of the center's 8 a.m. advisory.
Isaac, which had built to tropical storm status when its winds topped 39 mph on Saturday, has weakened to a depression over the eastern Caribbean
Issac is expected to slowly drift through the eastern and central Caribbean waters through the weekend, not too far from Jamaica, but won't be much of a threat. The National Hurricane Center's forecast is for Isaac "to gradually weaken over the next few days, and could degenerate into a tropical wave at
Then there's Tropical Storm Joyce, a relative newcomer, that is moving southwestward about 1,090 miles west-southwest of the Azores, packing winds of 40 mph and moving at 8 mph.
Joyce, with winds extending about 35 miles from its center, is expected to tap the brakes a bit and turn eastward by Friday night, and then accelerate northeastward over the weekend. Joyce, too, is expected to weaken at the start of the work week.

(AP Photo/RIA Novosti, Yana Lapikova, Pool) View 2 more images (Newser) – Russian leaders are swiftly trying to ease tensions over national elections that have sparked massive demonstrations in Moscow and around Russia, the Guardian reports. "We respect the point of view of the protesters," said a rep from Prime Minister Putin's office. "We will continue to listen to them." Demonstrators are promising to return in two weeks if the Kremlin doesn't invalidate the parliamentary election, which gave Putin's United Russia party nearly 50% of the vote. State-run television is even breaking from its usual pro-government stance to cover the protests. President Medvedev hopped on Facebook to say he does "not agree with the slogans or speeches made at the protests," but will "investigate all messages from polling stations." Thousands of responses followed: "There were no elections!" one read. "There was ballot stuffing!" Said another: "This is called separation from reality—you need to see a psychiatrist." The Kremlin is promising to counter with a pro-Putin rally on Monday. (Read more Russian elections stories.)
