Great To Be Alive
Hello everyone, just wanted to let all of you know how much i care for you and your responses, You know I have finally come to grips with my diabetes, it really has not stopped me from doing anything that I want to do, I might have to be a little more careful in my decisions but I am really having a wonderful life. I have learned to deal with the up and downs of the BS, it is really a challenge but something to look forward to. I am soo happy to be able to walk and breathe and yes smile at myself when I get upset. As long as I wake up each morning I can face whatever the problem may be or if not a problem whatever the circumstance will be. At least I can still enjoy this great and wonderful life and this diabetes thing will just have to learn that I am in control.It is a great to be alive, it could be worse—thank God it is not.

Hi June! I love your name. Its only been recently I came to grip with having diabetes. Your attitude is inspiring. I try to remind me frequently, "YES I CAN!" I like your "it could be worse—thank God it is not!" A dear friend once told me, "Wrinkles can touch the skin, but they can't touch soul." Somehow I think you WILL teach it (D) you are in control. You go girl! Hugs and smiles til we meet again.
Thank you and you keep up the good work, we have a long and beautifull life ahead of us and we will enjoy everday of it. Keep in touch and big smiles to you also my friend.
Good for you for deciding that being positive and facing the challenges of Diabetes are worth while. I try to live by the saying, "All days are good. Some are just better than others." It sure beats being sad all the time.
Yes my friend it does beat being sad all the time. Good for you and keep the attitude, yes we will have a bad day, but do not let it turn into two bad days:) and keep moving and enjoying your life. Thank You and Bless You
Let me the first to congratulate you on coming to this point on your journey. You are an inspiration. What you are describing is what I call facing life on life's terms, and turning a challenge into an adventure, staying focused on how the cup is half full and not half empty.
Thanks for sharing this with us. It's all about support. Stay in touch!
Thank you for thosekind words, you are right it is facint life on life's terms it took awhile for me to get here and this site has been my greatest support. I will be in control until the diabetes is gone or I am and it is a joy for me. Bless You

I will be honest; I have not felt very much like blogging lately. I have had to force myself to do it; especially since I host a Tea party meme every week. I also host a weekly Bible study in my home and I have had to force myself to do so because there are those dear friends who depend on it. I also participate in Pink Saturdays because Hubby thinks it is good for me to do something fun.
I cannot share what has been going on, only that it involves family. And as you all know, family can plunge you into despair quicker than anything else.
In telling you all this, I would kindly ask that you would pray for me and my family. The Lord knows the situation and what our needs are.
Now, I would like to share this devotional which has helped me to put things into perspective the last week or so.
Sharing from my heart~ Sandi

Reconnective Healing is a unique interaction between our body's energy field and a spectrum of energy, light and information. The interaction with these frequencies opens a doorway to healing on multiple levels – physical, mental, and emotional. Yet this healing is more than that because it also allows for the evolution of our being and discovery of our true Essence. Some might call this spiritual healing. There have been many scientific studies on Reconnective Healing showing, for instance, that it restructures damaged DNA, is twice as effective as physical therapy in restoring range of motion in frozen shoulder, and that it supports peak athletic performance! Reconnective Healing is very real. It is tangible, measurable...You can feel it! Experience Reconnective Healing for yourself and step through the doorway to your full healing potential and to your true Essence. Donna Costa

The Spanish jewelry design house Carrera Y Carrera proudly announces that actress and director Renata Litvinova will become the first Russian celebrity to represent its jewelry collections.
Renata Litvinova will represent the jewelry design house as its ambassador for Russia and the CIS beginning in March 2014.
Svetlana Kuprianova, CEO of the company, and Manuel Carrera, the founder of the design house, are confident that collaborating with Renata Litvinova, actress who understands the design and allure of their creations, and who knows how to wear it, will reveal the brand in a new way to connoisseurs of fine pieces of jewelry.
After meeting with Renata in Moscow, Manuel Carrera said of her: "Here you have a diva with a striking character like the jewelry of Carrera Y Carrera."
"The first time I appeared wearing pieces designed by Carrera Y Carrera was at the Moscow Film Festival," Renata recalls. "For my walk down the red carpet, I chose a brooch in the shape of a crocodile's head from the Bestiario collection. It is a bold image that won me over with the youthful insolence of its designers."
Renata has no doubt that Russian women will like the jewelry of Carrera Y Carrera. "These sunny pieces are as necessary as medicine in our cold, harsh country." She sees the brand as the source of her own creative inspiration. "It is my dream to participate in the creation of a collection for Carrera Y Carrera. I would call it 'Winter Woman': very Russian. I have a lot of ideas and I would be happy if CYC's designers would embark upon a bold journey with me into the Russian snows."
The first photo shoot of Renata Litvinova wearing Carrera Y Carrera jewelry took place on the inside of the Le Bristol hotel. The images were created in collaboration with the photographer Dmitry Isakov.

Daniel Deals Plainly with Belshazzar; Interpreting of the Writing on the Wall.
Daniel 5:30
30 In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain. 31 And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old.
Here is, 1. The death of the king. Reason enough he had to tremble, for he was just falling into the hands of the king of terrors, v. 30. In that night, when his heart was merry with wine, the besiegers broke into the city, aimed at the palace; there they found the king, and gave him his death's wound. He could not find any place so secret as to conceal him, or so strong as to protect him. Heathen writers speak of Cyrus's taking Babylon by surprise, with the assistance of two deserters that showed him the best way into the city. And it was foretold what a consternation it would be to the court, Jer. li. 11, 39. Note, Death comes as a snare upon those whose hearts are overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness.
2. The transferring of the kingdom into other hands. From the head of gold we now descend to the breast and arms of silver. Darius the Mede took the kingdom in partnership with, and by the consent of, Cyrus, who had conquered it, v. 31. They were partners in war and conquest, and so they were in dominion, ch. vi. 28. Notice is taken of his age, that he was now sixty-two years old, for which reason Cyrus, who was his nephew, gave him the precedency. Some observe that being now sixty-two years old, in the last year of the captivity, he was born in the eighth year of it, and that was the year when Jeconiah was carried captive and all the nobles, &c. See 2 Kings xxiv. 13-15. Just at that time when the most fatal stroke was given was a prince born that in process of time should avenge Jerusalem upon Babylon, and heal the wound that was now given. Thus deep are the counsels of God concerning his people, thus kind are his designs towards them.
– Matthew Henry Commentary

This is the begining of Lauren I(left). Those sharp pointy plants in the foreground really bugged me. I thought, uh oh, what have I done! I wished I could erase them. They seemed to harsh or sharp or something. I also wanted to add drama to that large hill on the right but wasn't sure how to do it.
Then I sort of blended the pointy plants and that seemed to be okay (below). I still didn't get drama out of the hill but it seems to flow okay.

Inherent requirements for Midwifery (undergraduate)
These inherent requirements apply to the following courses: Bachelor of Midwifery (course code 4684).
The Western Sydney University School of Nursing and Midwifery (SoNM) strongly supports the right of all people to pursue a course in midwifery to achieve their potential and career objectives. The School is committed to making reasonable adjustments to teaching and learning, assessment, practice experiences and other activities to address the impact of students' disabilities so that they are able to participate in their course.
Every occupation, including midwifery, has certain characteristics that are integral to their profession. Caring for women and their families during pregnancy, labour and birth can be emotionally challenging as well as physically strenuous. Many of the activities associated with the professional practice of midwifery are time sensitive. The capacity to perform certain activities by students and registered midwives within specified time limits is required to reduce or avoid risks to the safety and wellbeing of women and/or their newborns. The safety and wellbeing of students and others is always of paramount importance. Students are required to undertake placement activities in culturally diverse environments which reflect the Australian health care context. Successfully completing the course enables you to apply for registration as a registered midwife with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA), which is a partner board of the Australian Health Practitioners Registration Authority (AHPRA).
To support potential and current students' decision making a series of inherent requirement statements have been developed. These statements specify the course requirements of the Bachelor of Midwifery (BMid) for student admission and progression. The statements are clustered under eight domains consisting of ethical behaviour, behavioural stability, legal, communication, cognition, sensory abilities, strength and mobility and sustainable performance.
How to read the inherent requirement statements
If you are intending to enrol in the undergraduate midwifery course at the School of Nursing and Midwifery (SoNM), you should look at these Inherent requirement statements and think about whether you may experience challenges in meeting these requirements.
If you think you may experience challenges related to your disability, chronic health condition or any other reason, you should discuss your concerns with a campus Disability Advisor or the SoNM staff, such as the Director of Academic Program, Academic Course Advisor or School Disability Coordinator. These staff can work collaboratively with you to determine reasonable adjustments to assist you to meet the Inherent Requirements. In the case where it is determined that Inherent Requirements cannot be met with reasonable adjustments, the University staff can provide guidance regarding other study options.
These inherent requirements should be read in conjunction with other course information and NMBA publications such as Guidelines for Mandatory Notifications, A Midwife's Guide to Professional Boundaries and National Competency Standards for the Registered Midwife.
Each inherent requirement is made up of the following five levels:
- Level 1 - introduction to the inherent requirement
- Level 2 - description of what the inherent requirement is
- Level 3 - explanation of why this is an inherent requirement of the course
- Level 4 - the nature of any adjustments that may be made to allow you to meet the requirement
- Level 5 - examples of things you must be able to do to show you've met the requirement
There are eight domains of inherent requirements in the Bachelor of Midwifery. Some domains have a number of sub-domains.
- Ethical behaviour
- Behavioural stability
- Legal
- Communication
- Cognition
- Sensory ability
- Strength & mobility
- Sustainable performance

I wanted to extend the sale and add the 2 newest paintings into the shop! Use Code : SPRING25 for 25% off!
I also wanted to show you some close ups for the new paintings and explain why I used what I did!
These are some of my favorite works so far and I wanted them to be included in the sale! I've included some details and closeups of the paintings.
Sterling brought me home Danish farmers almanacs from the 1920's once. He found them inside an old trailer he was working on. They smelled awful. They had been sitting in storage for years!
I was elated when he brought them home. After they aired out and were cleaned, I looked through each page.. putting bookmarks in for future ideas.
This woman's bust started out from an ad from the old farmers almanac. This one was 1923 I think. The painting also has charts and dates of moon phases and planetary alignments behind paint.
The owl was free handed with no reference photos. In my original photograph that was a light from someone's porch, but I didn't wand houses in this, so I chose to paint an owl of similar hue.
Owls have been showing up a lot for me. Barn owls especially. This one in particular reminds me of a memory where I came face to face with an owl.
He was perched on pole directly in front of me, he seemed to glow in the dark night sky. We only caught a glimpse of each other. Before I could take a breath of pure awe, he stepped off his pole. His body dropped, but his head remained, eyes still locked with mine. And with a swoop of his wings, he flew upward revealing the moonlight.
"Arranging Stars"
9x12 Mixed Media on Canvas
This next piece I called "Your Voice" I started out not knowing where it would go. I've already blogged a bit about this piece earlier, so I won't mention too much more, but I did want to point out, that the cathedral painted in there is The Cathedral of The Madeline. This is the cathedral I'm constantly taking photos of and posting on Instagram. The other papers and ephemera in this painting are from old books from the 1960's.
"Find Your Voice"
9x12 Mixed Media on Wood
I would SO appreciate the help of spreading the news!

Daily Scoop
How to Buy Cheap Broadway Tickets
Use our free discount codes to get cheap Broadway tickets up to 50% off.
BroadwayBox is a community site. No ticket sales. No membership fees. No cost. Just discounts.
We share discount codes distributed by the individual Broadway shows. These Broadway ticket deals are available due to the discount codes, which provide heavily discounted tickets, for the shows of your choice, on your preferred date, in advance, from your home. Using our unique promo codes, you can buy your cheap tickets at Ticketmaster or Telecharge, both online and on the phone.
Theater seats are like airline seats, if empty once the doors have closed, they are worth nothing. To recover their huge investments, Broadway producers are challenged to sell every seat, at every performance. They so by distributing discount codes for selected performances where they expect unsold seats. These are usually applicable for the mid-week performances, when a show is early in previews or when the show has been running for a while. Discounts vary from 25%-50% off, and sometimes even more. The seats provided are usually the best available seats in a given category.
If empty seats are still available on the day of the performance, they are placed for sale at the TKTS booth (you are probably familiar with the one at Times Square) at 25% or 50% off. You can certainly buy discount tickets at the TKTS booth, but you risk waiting until the last day, after standing in line for hours (rain or heat), hoping that tickets for your preferred show are still available by the time you get to the front of the line.
BroadwayBox.com combines the ease of regular advanced orders with the attractive discounts of the TKTS booth.
The discount code tickets are subject to various availability limitations. Please read the details of each code carefully.
To avoid frustration, try the following:
- Flexibility pays: try other dates or shows, if the show of your choice is not available.
- Patience Pays: the producers may release more discount tickets as the show date nears, so a declined date may become available later.
- BroadwayBox Pays: take action and sign up for our free discount alert service on BroadwayBox.com. You will be notified by email when a new discount offers become available for this show.

Online Services
Please call into the practice to register for our online services.
To use services please select the icons at the bottom of the home page.
You can now order your repeat prescriptions via the icon at the bottom of the home page as well as the usual ways of ordering.
If you would like to view elements of your medical record from 1st April onwards, the Assistant Practice Manager can activate this for you. This can only be done by specific request from the patient only. Please contact the surgery to have this service enabled.
The survey can be found at the bottom of our website.
Patient Representation Group
We have a group of patient representatives who are part of our virtual patient group. We contact them regularly to hear their views, comments and suggestions on our services as representatives of our patients.
Please follow the link for more information.
Patient Representation Group
The heart and sole of any practice are the patients we care for and at Orchard Surgery we continuously strive to provide the best services, highest quality care and ensure we listen to the needs of all our patients.
With this in mind, we are very keen to build a Patient Representation Group (PRG). One of the forms available is to hear from patients who are willing to act as a contact between our patients and the practice.
Following the results of the 2011 Patient Survey, there is certainly a great interest in having a forum for patients to keep in contact and a virtual group seems to be the most popular choice. Of course, this is not always possible for some patients and not everyone feels comfortable using email or the internet so we would like to have other options available and a representative could be the answer.
We have a contact us section on the website which can be found in the left side menu of the homepage. This has a direct link to the practice and we can contact you directly if you require it.
Alternatively, if any patients would like to represent the patient group as a whole and are happy to act as a representative, patients use this form of contact which can then be passed to the practice via the representative.
This is a new venture and we are very excited to move things along so any feedback or offers to act as a representative will be very gladly received.
We are here for our patients and always treat all contact with confidentiality and respect. The new changes to primary care will bring the health care provider and patient closer together and a PRG is the first step to making this possible.

Gotta have Girlfriends
Posted by Dahlia on August 1, 2011
I've got a ton of associates, just as many colleagues, and people I know that I think are generally good folks. Friends, specifically female ones, I can count on one hand. I'm talking about those real, true girlfriends that always has your back and will ride with you no matter what. Some you've been friends with since diapers. Some you met somewhere along the course of growing up, either in the sandbox, first day of school, sitting next to you in homeroom. Others you met in college. You sat behind her during freshman orientation. Perhaps she was the roommate that didn't set your suite on fire (yes, this happened to me). Maybe you met her during that dreadful summer internship at XYZ Corporation the summer before junior year. Still, there are some you don't connect with until your adult years, be it at work, church, the beauty salon, a networking event, et cetera.
I believe that the "girlfriend" relationship – that close bond with another female is a very significant one. A key relationship in life. True, some women don't want to be bothered with female friends. Why? Because some women can get overly emotional, sometimes petty, and in some instances just flat out nasty. Just watch any reality show with a predominantly female cast. And in order to avoid the foolishness and dramatics, it can be easier just to have platonic male friends. But, still for most of us, we need girlfriends. That relationship is as important as the romantic one or the family one.
Think of the TV shows that celebrate and embrace the Girlfriend relationship: Girlfriends, Sex & The City, Single Ladies, Desperate Housewives, Laverne & Shirley, Kate & Allie (yeah, I went in the Way Back Machine for those last two). Or the books with strong female friendships, such as Misty & Reesy from Lolita Files's Scenes From a Sistah, Getting to The Good Part, and Tastes Like Chicken. Or Savannah, Bernadine, Gloria, and Robin — the women from Terry McMillan's Waiting To Exhale & Getting to Happy. Those are just a few examples of fictional girlfriends. And for the most part, those relationships are pretty solid, just like real-life friendships.
So, in celebration of the BFF, below is my little list of reasons why you need at least one Girlfriend in your life:
1. She'll tell you those shoes are kick-ass and you need to buy them. Like now. Raht now. Same goes for that Coach bag.
2. She'll cheer you on when that idea/dream/aspiration you've been pursuing makes you want to not just throw in the towel, but throw the damn thing out.
3. She'll help you escape when dude with the ecru-hued teeth and breath from the pits of Hell gets all up in your personal space.
4. She understands that your manager is Satan's mistress.
5. She'll let you cry, vent, whine, whatever. You don't have to "suck it up" with her.
6. She shows up at your house with the vodka, martini mix, and shaker when that date/day at work/ relationship has gone totally and completely wrong.
7. She holds your hair when you've overdone it on the vodka and martini mix.
8. So, Beaches, Steel Magnolias, AND A League of Their Own are on TV? Not only is she game, she's bringing the cheesecake.
9. She thinks it is completely normal to eat an entire half-sheet of birthday cake by yourself. Matter of fact, she'll grab a fork and take half.
10. Despite what that family member said about your lack of direction/husband/children/career, she always thinks you rock.
These are just a few reasons. I know there are more. What are your reasons that girlfriends are important? Why is the girlfriend in your life so important? What is it about her that makes you say that she's more than a friend, she's your sister?

I love your list! I don't know what I'd do without my girlfriends. I'd be a mess!

I agree with everything that you say here. Girls are so much more social and so much more supportive than boys.

Great post. My best friend helps me make sense of things even when I don't make sense to myself. She's known me for a long time. She's got context.
Yolanda, I hope you find a good and trustworthy woman to be your close friend. Like Yves says, sometimes it just doesn't work out and that truly sucks.

So, so true. My friends are great for a)cheering me on whenever I start to doubt and b)reminding me that sometimes the best fun can be had by eating large quantities of calorie laden food and staying up for a Grey's Anatomy marathon.

Love your list!
Girlfriends are also needed for venting sessions. She's there just to listen until you climb down off the soapbox. She won't jump in offering advice, but knows when you really want direction or just want an ear.

In his announcement today that he would be stepping down as FCC chairman, Michael Powell engaged in some self-congratulatory words about having "completed a 'bold and aggressive agenda.'" Powell certainly had his own agenda (though with questionable priorities). And it certainly was both bold and aggressive. Fox Television provides a good example of just how much networks were in fear of Powell's wielded power. A recent rebroadcast of a Family Guy cartoon "blurred a character's posterior, even though the image was seen five years ago when the episode was originally aired."
But in his censorship crusade, there were many duties and responsibilities that Powell never answered, let alone completed. Worse still, his championing of media consolidation came with seemingly little consideration of what happens when one agenda dominates the news. He won't be missed.

Moose Lake Mafia ready to roll
First home bout of season set for May 10
With one bout in Iowa under their belts this year, the Moose Lake Mafia Roller Girls are gearing up to go against the Roller Underground on Saturday, May 10, at Riverside Arena at 7 p.m. The doors open at 6 p.m.
Moose Lake Mafia was organized in 2011, and started bouts on April 6 two years ago. This is the beginning of the team's third season.
"It's been going really, really well," said Elaine Hennager, a veteran of the team. "Our skills have gotten better after three years, and we have created more awareness of who we are in the community. People don't ask what it is anymore. Roller derby is still the fastest growing sport in the nation."
This year the team has the advantage of having a coach, Brett Fanning, and a referee, Rich Barber. Jordan Shepard is training to be a referee.
Hennegar said the team still needs more skaters, referees and other help.
Fanning is enjoying coaching the roller girls.
"It's been quite an adventure, that's for sure," he said. "We've got a lot of talented ladies out there. As with any sport, they want to win on the home front but it's more about the fun and making the sport more popular around the area."
Back in the 1970s and 1980s, "Roller Derby" was a popular TV show. The teams skated on wooden ramps and the skaters threw people off over the railings.
Modern roller derby teams use flat tracks in arenas, except in California, where ramps are still used.
"We started with four skaters," said Hennager. "Now we have 16-18. We use our elbows, hips and shoulders, and do can openers, where we hit someone in the upper chest. We hit anyplace that's legal."
It took time for the team to build a local fan base due to unfamiliarity of the sport.
"The first couple of bouts, people were kind of quiet because they didn't know what was going on," said Hennager. "Now we have gotten 600 likes on the Moose Lake Mafia Facebook page."
The team is a nonprofit organization and donates a portion of its proceeds to area charities, such as the Moose Lake Area Food Shelf. A portion of the proceeds from the May 10 bout will be donated to the local Minnesota Military Families Fund.
A portion of the proceeds will be donated to One Heartland Center after the bout in July, and to the Audubon Center in September.
"It's hard work but we like it," said Hennegar. "It's fun, fun, fun!"
"I have a feeling that this is going to be their best season yet," added Coach Fanning.

Plymouth schoolgirl, 15, wins stunning swimming gold medal... unfortunately she's competing for Lithuania!
- Brits Spofforth, Renwick and Tancock miss out on medals
- Americans scoop two golds and two silvers in winning night for Team USA
- US teen Missy Franklin, 17, wins her first gold
- But Ryan Lochte misses out on a medal, finishing 4th in 100m freestyle
Just weeks ago 15-year-old Ruta Meilutyte was sitting with classmates at Plymouth College.
Today she's an Olympic champion.
The Lithuanian swimming prodigy, taught and trained at an English secondary school, stormed to victory in the 100m breaststroke final.
Nobody expected Miss Meilutyte to even reach the final and she was so shocked by her own success, the teenager held her hands over her mouth when she first clapped eyes on the scoreboard.
Scroll down to see Ruta interviewed
I don't believe it! Lithuania's Ruta Meilutyte reacts with shock after discovering she has won the women's 100m breaststroke final
Hands up if you've won gold: Meilutyte's emotion soon turns to one of joy as it sinks in that she is Olympic champion
The 15-year-old Plymouth schoolgirl celebrates with her medal
When the BBC approached her for an interview poolside, the shaken Miss Meilutyte told retired British swimmer Sharron Davies: 'I can't believe it. It's all too much for me. I just can't believe it.'
The 15-year-old not only became the first swimmer from her country to win an Olympic medal she did it in under extraordinary circumstances.
The start, a time when swimmers are already battling their nerves, was delayed by a technical malfunction that saw the starter's gun go off before he had called 'on your marks'.
American Breeja Larson dived into the pool on the gun but was able to race because of the malfunction.

Happy family: Meilutyte with, left to right, brother Mindaugas, father Saulius, grandmother Aldonas, and brother Margiris
High emotion: Meilutyte cries on the podium with her gold medal before composing herself to give a big smile for the world's press
The eight finalists sat down while the problem was fixed and an unfazed Miss Meilutyte still got off the blocks fastest and led at the turn but then had to survive a fierce challenge from American Rebecca Soni, the reigning world champion in the event.
The more experienced Miss Soni drew level in the final few strokes but Miss Meilutyte kept her cool and got her hands on the wall first in one minute, 05.47 seconds.
Miss Soni was second in 1:05.55 while Japan's Satomi Suzuki finished third in 1:06.46.
Australia's Leisel Jones, the defending Olympic champion who won a silver medal at the 2000 Sydney Games when she was 15, finished fifth overall in her fourth and final appearance at the Games.
The only person who won't be surprised by Miss Meilutyte's gold medal is Jon Rudd, her coach at the internationally acclaimed Plymouth Leander Swimming programme.
Fine margins: Meilutyte, right, touches to win just inches ahead of Rebecca Soni of the US
17-year-old US swimmer Missy Franklin celebrates winning the women's 100m backstroke final
Franklin celebrates with Britain's Gemma Spofforth, who finished fifth
Speaking before the final, Rudd, who describes his pupil as 'super human', told the Plymouth Herald: 'The only limit to what she is capable of achieving is herself.
'There are girls out there with long standing experience and they are going to bring that to the final.
'But what Ruta (left) brings is youth and vibrancy. She is not worried about reputations.
'She has already achieved her ambition by reaching the semi-finals.'
She wasn't the only teenage success story at the aquatics centre last night,.
Missy Franklin started a fantastic night in the pool for Team USA, claiming the first of two golds when she stormed to victory in the 100m backstroke final.
The 17-year-old, competing in seven events at her first Games, overhauled Australia's Emily Seebohm in the final few strokes, to win her first individual medal of London 2012.
The night quickly got better for the American team when Matt Grevers and Nick Thoman powered to a gold and silver one-two in the men's 100m backstroke.
The jubilation made up for Ryan Lochte's disappointment earlier in the night.
The heavily fancied 27-year-old crashed out of the medal positions during a scintillating 200m freestyle final, which was won by Frenchman Yannick Agnel.
Franklin's victory was made all the more impressive considering she had swum in a 200m freestyle semi-final just 20 minutes earlier.
It didn't stop her storming past Seebohm, who led the turn under world record pace, but had to settle for silver ahead of Japan's Aya Terakawa was third. British world record holder Gemma Spofforth finished fifth.
The American gold medal winner said afterwards: 'I knew it was going to be tough, and I somehow managed to get the gold medal and I have never been as happy in my whole life.'
Giant Grevers collected his first individual gold medal in the final of the men's 100 metres backstroke.
Using every inch of his 6ft 8 in frame, Grevers stretched his long arms out to win in a time of 52.16 seconds, a new Olympic record and just 0.22 outside the world record set by Aaron Peirsol.
American Nick Thoman finished second in 52.92 while Japan's Ryosuke Irie got the bronze medal.
Brit Liam Tancock finished in fourth, just four tenths of a second outside the bronze medal position.
The final American medal of the night was collected by Rebecca Soni, who had to settle for silver when she couldn't overpower 15-year-old Lithuanian Ruta Meilutyte.
The medal haul makes up for the disappointment in the night's first final when favourite Ryan Lochte was stunned out of the medal positions during an electric 200m final in the Aquatics Centre.
United States' Ryan Lochte reacts after failing to win a medal in the men's 200m freestyle
The American faded in the last two lengths as Agnel powered away from the chasing pack to claim gold. Yang Sun and Taehwan Park shared silver, ahead of Lochte in fourth and Britain's Robbie Renwick in sixth.
Speaking after his sixth place finish, Glaswegian Renwick said: "If I can keep going the way I am going then who knows maybe in the next four years I could actually get a medal. It all went well, it was another PB for me. It's all about getting amongst the medals but sixth place I can't have done much more.'
Spofforth was equally philosophical after her fifth place finish.
The 25 year old has come close to quitting swimming in the past and insisted tonight's performance in a strong field dominated by Frankling, justified her decision to return to the pool.
She said: 'I've always said it's the journey and not the destination. I am disappointed but everything happens for a reason and I am just really enjoying my swimming right now.
'I have been rock-bottom but it's great to be back enjoying life again and have my passion back for life and swimming. Training with Ryan (Lochte) and working with Olympians is what really inspires me and I work with children back at home and want to inspire them.'
Brit Liam Tancock came agonisingly close to a medal in the 100m backstroke, finishing just four tenths of a second outside third place
After coming so close to landing a gold for Britain, Liam Tancock, the world champion at 50m, has vowed to return in four years time - when he'll be 31.
A Brazilian who won bronze in judo broke his medal when he wore it into the shower, and faces a fight to have it replaced.
Felipe Kitadai said he decided to take his medal into the shower as a joke, but dropped it.
The Brazilian Olympic Committee admitted the IOC had no obligation to give Kitadai another one.
He said: 'I went out there and gave it everything, it didn't quite come off for me but Rio is only four years away. I just love what I do, swimming is an amazing sport. It's an absolute dream to swim in a pool like this, in front of a crowd like this.
'I was walking before and saw the poster about inspiring future generations and I hope we are doing that, not just me but the whole of team GB, hopefully we will inspire the next generation of swimmers.'
Earlier in the pool, Britain's Caitlin McClatchey qualified for the women's 200m freestyle final with a strong second place finish in her semi-final heat.
McClatchey led world champion Federica Pellegrini at the final turn, but was eventually overtaken by the Italian - qualifying sixth fastest.
She said afterwards: 'I could hear the crowd the whole way through, it was incredible. I have had a really tough two years and thought about quitting but I am really enjoying it now. I have got a fantastic team at Loughborough University and without them I couldn't have done it.'

Smallest of SMB to the Largest of Enterprises
Simak Nazari, from HP 3PAR provides an overview of unique architecture for HP 3PAR storage that allows exceptional storage scalability for HP Customers equaled by no other competitor. the 3PAR StoreServ family is the only product set in the industry to span midrange, high-end, and all flash systems.
Simak led the efforts at 3PAR developing the storage architecture, and faced significant challenges. In addition to changes in component parts that were resulting in incredible advancements in both rotating media and solid state drives, 3PAR engineers also had to cope with. For example, smaller systems have much fewer resources in CPU and memory than multi-CPU enterprise systems, as well as differing CPU management schemes.
Many of HP competitors offer ranges of performance in latency and IOPS – requiring a reset to move to a more complex system. HP 3PAR capabilities are explained further at http://hp.com/storage .

Huge thanks to everyone for the kind e-mails and comments about the Kingsburg Festival - it was a success! We had a great time participating in the fair and had a great view for the Maypole rising and dancing. The parade was pretty darn cute too.
Here are a few pictures from the fun weekend.
My favorite little viking:
Booth setup complete, thumbs up!
The headbands didn't sell quite as well as they did at the Lucia fair, but I also think people weren't in as much of the "buying" mood as Lucia since it wasn't Christmas season.
My crafting partner, Beth, hand-etched these awesome vases, glasses, and more. Check out that sweet viking glass!
I made some last-minute garland for decor from some jute webbing (which I think looks Scandinavian!) from Joann's for only 79 cents a yard!
I dressed up in one of my mom's Swedish costumes. [I didn't get a picture of the entire outfit, unfortunately] Ryan was quite the good sport to dress up himself. I'm such a lucky gal.
And along with the hand-stenciled viking and Dala onesies, I stenciled some children's aprons too.
The town of Kingsburg was so cute...even the McDonalds had a Dala in front!!
Overall, we had a wonderful weekend! I'm so glad we got the chance to participate in this great fair and will definitely be back!
Be sure to check out the Midsommar festival in Vasa Park here in the LA area if you live nearby...we will have a booth there on June 23!

Casablanca, for many classic movie devotees the name immediately conjures up memories of the famous 1942 love story that starred Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman.
"Casa" as it is called by modern residents and visitors still weaves the magic to many who choose to come to this Moroccan city in North Africa. Although Rabat serves as the Kingdom of Morocco's capital city, Casa remains its leading metropolis due, in part, to its location on the Atlantic Ocean and as one of the world's largest artificial ports.

Second Women's Sunday Title for Ukraine's Sisa4ok
It was a busy day on PokerStars as the 2012 Spring Championship of Online Poker began the last of its events. Players of all bankrolls and skill levels took to the tables to try to win a portion of the massive guarantees set aside for the three Main Events alone. There was a big chance for online poker fame and fortune on the line, and men and women alike were attempting to grab it.
Meanwhile, the Women's Sunday was in full swing, as usual. Other women's events were running as well, including the Women's Poker League, which will be awarding more monthly cash prizes and freeroll tickets at the end of the month in all three divisions. And who can forget about the newest addition to the women's lineup? The $11 Women's Tuesday will roll around again in a few days with 6-max NLHE action and a $1K guarantee.
Back to today's action, let's take a look at the final numbers:
Total players: 204
Prize pool: $10,200.00
Paid finishers: 36
Several members of Team PokerStars took part in the tournament, and the first one to exit was Team Pro Celina Lin. Fellow Team Pro Ana Marquez stuck around awhile longer but exited in 104th place, while Friend of PokerStars Charlotte "Sjlot" Van Brabander took off in 82nd place. Team Pro Vivian Im, the first of the pros to register, was the last to exit, leaving her $50 bounty in 59th place.
As players like xx23xx and Groupondeal exited the field, hand-for-hand play took them from 10 players on two tables to nine on the singular final table. That happened whenadina727 pushed her short stack all-in with K♠Q♥ against the A♦5♥ of rebecca06. The board of 5♣9♥9♣6♦5♠ gave rebecca06 the full house, and adina727 had to leave in tenth place with $163.20.
Strong lead for Stjerneskud
The final table began in Level 27, with blinds of 1,000/2,000 and a 200 ante, along with these player chip counts:
Seat 1: Stjerneskud (130,490 in chips)
Seat 2: Liza_plus_EV (40,660 in chips)
Seat 3: IwillOwnYouu (32,454 in chips)
Seat 4: nutbreakerLL (46,788 in chips)
Seat 5: Sisa4ok (100,288 in chips)
Seat 6: Hamburg2000 (102,715 in chips)
Seat 7: rebecca06 (52,299 in chips)
Seat 8: Sherpadidi (43,990 in chips)
Seat 9: t0beR1cH (62,316 in chips)
Action was fast and furious. The first hand saw IwillOwnYouu double through nutbreakerLL. Two hands later, IwillOwnYouu moved all-in again, but original raiser Sherpadidi called all-in and was covered. IwillOWnYouu showed A♠A♣, which obviously dominated the 7♠7♥ of Sherpadidi, and no change came from the 8♠Q♠9♥K♥6♦ board. Sherpadidi exited in ninth place with $193.80.
NutbreakerLL was unable to make a comeback from the original double by IwillOwnYouu. The former pushed all-in from early position with 5♥5♣, and Sisa4ok reraised all-in to isolate with 7♣7♦, which worked. The board came 9♠2♣A♥6♥Q♥, and the sevens held up to eliminate nutbreakerL in eighth place with $255.00.
Rebecca06 had a tough time gathering momentum and made a strong push with 60,199 chips from the small blind with Q♣Q♠. T0beR1cH reraised all-in from the big blind, and original raiser Sisa4ok folded. T0beR1cH shoewd 9♦9♠ but caught the flop when it came 4♥9♣4♣. Even more, the turn came 9♥ for quads, and the irrelevant 3♥ on the river eliminated rebecca06 in seventh place with $357.00.
A short while later, Liza_plus_EV risked all of her chips with K♣Q♠, only to find out that Sisa4ok had A♠K♠. The flop of 3♠2♣J♦ changed nothing, though the A♦ on the turn gave Liza_plus_EV the hope of a straight. But the Q♦ on the river ended that hope and left Liza_plus_EV out in sixth place with $459.00.
Two hands after that, IwillOwnYouu got involved with Sisa4ok. After each raised, IwillOwnYouu came back with an all-in move holding A♦Q♥. Sisa4ok called with a dominating A♥K♥. The board produced J♠T♣6♠4♥4♠, and the ace and king kickers played to eliminate IwillOwnYouu in fifth place with $591.60.
Hamburg2000 then got involved with t0beR1cH, and the preflop raising war ended with Hamburg2000 at risk holding J♥T♥. T0beR1cH showed Q♣Q♠, and though the 5♦T♠5♣ flop gave Hamburg2000 hope for a double-up, the 8♣ and J♠ cards weren't enough to get it done. Hamburg2000 ended her run in the tournament in fourth place with $867.00.
Stjerneskud had lost ground from her original starting position as the chip leader and was the shortest during three-handed play. When Sisa4ok raised, Stjerneskud reraised all-in with K♥6♠, but Sisa4ok called with T♥T♣. Nothing about the 2♠8♥4♣J♣2♥ board changed the outcome, and Stjerneskud exited in third place with $1,152.60.
Sisa4ok goes for double win
The last two players standing started their battle with these counts:
Seat 5: Sisa4ok (467,408 in chips)
Seat 9: t0beR1cH (144,592 in chips)
It was a tough match for t0beR1cH, despite being aggressive and winning a number of small consecutive hands. Sisa4ok won the bigger hands and had t0beR1cH chipped down to less than 100K at one point. T0beR1cH did make this double-up comeback to stay alive:
T0beR1cH had to try again and did it with A♦3♠. But Sisa4ok showed A♣4♦ and stayed ahead as the board came 4♥3♦Q♦9♥7♥. T0beR1cH accepted second place and $1,530.00.
Ukraine's Sisa4ok, who won her first Women's Sunday in May of last year, claimed her second title nearly one year later. This win came with $2,085.90, and she becomes only the second woman to win more than one Women's Sunday. Congrats!
Women's Sunday Results for 05/20/12:
1st place: Sisa4ok (Ukraine) - $2,085.90
2nd place: t0beR1cH (Russia) - $1,530.00

Pickering Puppy Party
Today we had a VERY fun day! Petey and I went to Pickering Town Centre to have some fun with other foster puppies and also to do some mall work. Missy with Blossom and Chester drove us down along with Dee and Fortune. At the mall we met Lynn with Eden and Naveed (breeding program), Amy and Echo, Joanne and Easton, Amy and Polaris (now called Larry much to the annoyance of Amy who prefers Poley), Wendy, and two actual working dogs, both of whom were CVC's: Paula with Lincoln and Jim with Olsen.
I've been toying with the idea of putting my picture up on the blog. I haven't before because I was a little uncomfortable with the idea, but I have to now because I've got the cutest picture :D
First row (L-R): Gorgeous Eden posing for the camera; Nav, Chester and Easton in a pile
Second row(L-R): Echo who licked my ice cream; Blossom passed out while AmyB and I ate our subs
Third Row(L-R): AmyG and Echo, Me and Petey, AmyB and Poley; Petey on Blossom
Hope you enjoyed the pictures, it took about an hour to get them right and shot my blood pressure right off the charts...but don't worry, I still love you all....or maybe just some of you...
Just kidding! I do love all of you! :D

Haiti and Jamaica are at greater risk for destructive tsunamis than previously believed, according to a new study of tsunamis generated during the catastrophic Haiti earthquake in January.
The study, published online Sunday in the journal Nature Geoscience, raises troubling questions about the possibility of high death tolls should Jamaica be hit by a large earthquake, which could cause populated coastal areas to collapse into the Caribbean Sea and trigger tsunamis that would rebound back to shore.
John Orcutt, geophysics professor at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego, who was not involved in the study, said the report is a reminder that people on beaches or living near the coastline during a quake should be aware of the dangers of tsunamis.
After a quake, "If you live along the coastline, you want to be thinking about the potential tsunami hazard and get a couple hundred yards — a couple football fields up — just to make sure you're not going to be in an area that's inundated," Orcutt said.

Got photos?
I love to take pictures! I may not be a professional photographer but nonetheless I take all the pictures I can, wherever I go. One things that I cam guilty of however, is not fully displaying all those photos that I had taken. While the digital world is amazing for photography advancement, it tends to make you less motivated to do prints, albums or canvas.
I love searching things online, to gain inspiration and ideas on every aspect of life. One of these inspirations was on how you can display these photos that we all take. Below are a few of my selection from the web. hopefully some will inspire you to showcase some of those eye-catching photos 🙂

After cleansing and restoring the barriers where Karakura Town was temporarily swapped with Soul Society, Matsumoto and Nanao enter the Precipice World to return home, but are confronted by something along the way. Hitsugaya and Shunsui lose contact with their lieutenants, who have not returned. Meanwhile, Ichigo and Rukia go off to handle hollows, and Kon goes off to investigate a spiritual disturbance and finds a green-haired girl covered in rags. Hitsugaya and Shunsui report to Yamamoto regarding their lieutenants' disappearances, but Matsumoto and Nanao return at the same time. Both of them do not recall being away that long and just came back directly. The Soul Reapers realize time in the Precipice World is out of sync with Soul Society, with Yamamoto ordering Mayuri Kurotsuchi to conduct a survey of the area with Kenpachi's team as security escort. Ichigo returns home and is furious with Kon, who has brought back the green-haired girl. While the survey in ongoing, Mayuri and Kenpachi's team are confronted by an intense light emerging from the walls of the Precipice World. Rukia is ordered to return to Soul Society along with Ichigo. Ichigo goes with Rukia through the Precipice World but are chased by the Kototsu. To save themselves, Ichigo uses his bankai and carries Rukia all the way to Soul Society but due to the gradual loss of his powers, he falls to the ground. Ichigo encounters Hitsugaya and then Byakuya, who places Ichigo under confinement. Somewhere in Soul Society, a man walks through a lab filled with piles of gigai and addresses what seems to be Izuru Kira and Nanao Ise.

When you name an event in Las Vegas Martini Time, you'd better serve a drink. But when chef and nutritional guru Tina Martini bounded into the Studio B Buffet show kitchen at M Resort for her live cooking demo called Martini Time with Chef Tina Martini, she didn't bring even a drop of dry vermouth.
Instead, Martini (yes, that's her real name) brought the ingredients to make a Portobello Napoleon, a tricky stacked appetizer whose recipe took up an entire sheet of paper in fairly small font. Don't be intimidated, Martini advised. Yea, I could use a cocktail about now.
Housed in a shiny studio kitchen equipped with a small cooking space and cameras trained on Martini's every move, M Resort's new endeavor is a bit like attending a live broadcast of a cooking show. Guests get recipes for the dishes being prepared and samples to try, and Martini — spitting out nutritional info and prostate jokes with equally scripted ease — is part Rachel Ray, part biology professor.
"I feel like I'm in school," a friend whispered as the chef explained grape seed oil's similarity to Roto-Rooter Plumbers.
Around half an hour into the show — after teaching us to make faux eggs with cheese and yellow tomatoes and passing around a Silpat silicone baking mat — Martini finally asked if we wanted a drink. A server filled our martini glasses with a vibrantly colored blend of blood orange soda and fruit juice dubbed Pom's Blood Juice.
"Did anyone bring a flask?" the chef asked. "It would be nice with a little Bombay Sapphire Gin, wouldn't it?" My spirits sank. Looks like it wasn't martini time after all.
Not all guests to the show kitchen will be getting the virgin treatment, however. A representative from M Resort said Martini's menu will change with the beverages ranging from smoothies to alcoholic cocktails depending on the day. For those who do miss out on the booze, each ticket ($40-60) comes with a free pass to the buffet at M Resort where all-you-can-drink beer and wine is on offer.
Hopefully, the script will change, too. Martini clearly is knowledgeable about the health benefits of the food we eat, but right now her show plays it a little safe, the jokes coming off more recycled than spontaneous. After all, this show isn't being broadcast live on television. With a little more off-the-cuff cookery and a recipe that doesn't seem so daunting, Martini Time would go down easy, even without a drink.
