The Life Paint aerosol textile spray is an innovative product that temporarily renders any surface reflective. This ideal for riding, running or doing virtually anything in the dark when having a reflective wearable is ideal in keeping the wearer safe.
Performing any activity during the nighttime requires added attention to being safely seen as a form of protection from on-coming vehicles or to even prevent getting lost. The Life Paint is a convenient product to have on-hand that turns virtually any object into a reflective surface. The illuminating silver paint is made from water-based materials so it can be easily be applied to shoes, coats, sweaters, hats or vests instantly. Because the paint is water-based it can be easily removed from the item simply by running it through the wash.

Trends come and go but sailor inspired look has been around forever and it never goes out of fashion. This navy-and-white stripes top is the key piece in my today's nautical outfit. I paired it with a navy-blue maxi skirt which in my opinion makes the look even more sailory.
To continue the sea theme of the outfit I wear this little crab pendant. I bought it in Camden. What else is cute about the crab that all its legs and claws are movable.

In addition to picking up where I left off in finally putting a schedule down on paper for all of the things I need to accomplish each day/week/month, I also need to start working on a project for a challenge this month presented by the Blogging Business Artisan's team, of which I'm a member. It's going to be a foray into the world of polymer clay (which reminds me that I need to finish up a few other pieces that I had promised to friends), and I'll be posting it here as soon as it's finished. I'm even thinking about offering it as a giveaway item after the challenge is over... what do you think? Good idea? I think so! Stay tuned for more on that :)
I did a quick little search on Etsy this morning using the search term "determined" and found some very cool items that illustrate this Monday's mood beautifully, so I thought I'd share a few of my favorites with you all. Maybe they'll even help you find some inspiration of your own, if you need to feel a little more determined yourself!

Office Blinds & Window Treatments
- Prevent reflection, glare and shadows
- Maintain temperature with insulating shades
- Light controlling blinds for a productive space
- Functional and decorative treatments
- Motorized lift options
There are a variety of office blinds and shades conducive to creating a comfortable and productive office space, whether at home or in a high rise. Shutters and wood blinds are classic office window treatment options that work well to let in natural light, but also have slats that may be tilted for optimum light control. Solar screens reduce incoming glare while maintaining the view to the outside and cellular shades provide privacy while allowing light to filter in or be blocked out, depending on the selected opacity.

"Beautiful Shades!"
By JenFont from Louisiana
I absolutely love my custom shades. The swatch samples came in very quickly. Having the color swatch in hand made the ordering process much easier. The material is beautiful. I had the light filtering backing added for heat resistance; my kitchen gets a lot of sun and gets warm quickly. I will definitely order again.View this product
By happy girl from Erie, PA
I am thrilled with my purchase. The fabric is beautiful and just as described. My husband hung them with ease and I love that they were processed, made and delivered so quickly. This is my 4 purchase from Blinds galore and I'm certain when in need this is the first place I will look! Thank you very much!View this product

Foreign Credit Transfer Program
Foreign Credit transfer is an excellent way for overseas institutions to provide their students with a semester abroad for English language study while still allowing them to earn credit in their home program of study.

We are happy to provide institutions with all relevant and necessary documentation for home institution credit transfer.

October was a busy month for industry conferences – Skillsoft sponsored and attended CLO, HR Tech, Inc. 5000 and Learning 2014, and hosted TotalConnection. While each conference had a different audience and a different agenda, one thing rang true – excitement surrounding new learning solutions. People are excited to learn and are looking for dynamic and innovative content, methods and experiences.
During discussions, one thing that stood out above the rest was how enthusiastic learners were about our video content and what we have on the horizon in that area. In addition to the 10,000 videos we currently have available touching areas across IT and Desktop Applications, we're on track to deliver 260 new video-based courseware resources by the end of January.
The courseware includes video content from our extensive IT and Desktop video collection – which is growing to more than 14,000 videos by the end of January – and packages it in ways that are easy for learners to digest. In addition to elearning content, it includes the practice, assessment, tracking and accessibility support that is crucial to the learning process.
The courseware will cover topic areas such as HTML5, Six Sigma, Cisco, CompTIA, Ruby and more. It combines the best of instructor-led video-based presentation with the benefits of courseware. Theory and practical tasks are simultaneously taught in cohesive demos, enabling learners to see changes in the UI as code changes are applied. Courses also include practice topics with a series of tasks learners can perform in their own computer workspaces and then compare to a sample solution.
We'll share more information in the coming months, so please stay tuned! In the meantime, for more information on our video content, visit: https://www.skillsoft.com/business-solutions/it-troubleshooting.asp

Yeah, yeah… long flight, flew through smoke, same stuff you heard. Got to MVP event late, and missed the stuff that I really wanted to see. I got to meet my MVP Lead, Ben Miller, and a couple co-MVPs.
After the MVP event, we went to the Wilshire Grand's Korean restaurant and hung out. One of the funniest quotes of the night:
Open Source should be renamed 'Open Sore'
We also discussed how IDispatch is the leading contribution to a prevailing lack of interest in computer science. Of course, not everyone agrees with my stance, but it is fun to ruffle feathers.

As I boarded the plane I looked down at 17E, a middle seat, on a fully booked flight and sighed with dismay. To the left of me sat a seemingly mute Native American, at first I guessed Navajo but later decided he was obviously from Mayan decent thus his flight to Phoenix. I thought about that class I took sophomore year, Native American Literature. Was there anything interesting I could somehow recall to impress this man? No. Surely he would know I was a friend to the Indians after I pulled out my National Geographic. Instead I opted for the US Weekly so I could see what was happening in the world of Brangelina.
On my right sat a Mexican mother with her little daughter (my guess 1 and a half) who was propped on her lap. Shortly after take off the baby became livelier. She began to tug at my magazine. After some back and forth I finally gave it to her and smiled as she ripped Fergie in half and tossed her to the floor, yikes. I then decided that if the plane were to crash I would raise this young baby as my own. She was cute enough and we obviously had a connection. What would I name her? Leah Jr? Her mother smiled at me and I nodded back feeling sorry that she would not survive the crash nor raise Leah Jr. whom she clearly adored.
The duration of the flight was short and soon we began to descend from the sky. It was right about this time that the baby took what I can only assume was the largest diaper filler of the century. The gagging smell accosted my nostrils and I think I saw the mute Native American wince. I looked pleadingly at the mother who only continued to bounce the now crying baby on her lap. It was obvious that her mother was not going to get up and change the girl's diaper but she did nothing to quiet the distressed thing. It was at this time that I decided I would not rescue and raise this child if the plane were to crash. It would be up to old Squanto to do the honors.
I left that plane and wandered the Phoenix airport with nostalgic memories of my original flight to LA. I sat at that very stool, chatting with strangers excitedly about palm trees and ocean. LA was wonderful, wasn't it? And to think I was leaving it all behind… How did I come to this decision so quickly? Was it the horror of real life working? Surely not, after all I had worked forty to fifty hour weeks in Spain. I had tried to be creative, hadn't I? What could I do that would allow me some meager financial stability, keep me out of corporate land and give me ridiculous amounts of vacation time to travel? Yes, yes, a travel writing job would be marvelous… but financial stability did not live within said occupation. Am I crazy to be going back to school? Will I make a good teacher? Where will I go after? Isn't life wonderful! Change.
Humility lives in my mother's basement, where consequently I now call home.

The series picks up after WWII is over. All the men have come home, and now Peggy Carter is being treated more like a secretary than a secret agent. Unbeknownst to her coworkers, she is being sent on secret missions by Howard Stark (Iron Man's dad). And of course she looks fabulously stylish while doing all this!
So what is that perfect shade of matte red lipstick that Peggy Carter is wearing?
And now you know where to get that perfect 1940's red lipstick. Isn't the packaging so cute? Bésame recreates modern versions of classic luxury makeup.

Hi Haydee, a lot of people use pork rinds. Veggie sticks, cheese stick, pepperoni sticks, fingers and spoons are also all options. If you look through my site, you'll see I've got a few cracker and chip recipes, as well as some fun things you can do with melted cheese. I hope this helps! :)
Starting atkins for the second time, and I was wondering what can atkins dieters use instead of chips that low carb and atkins friendly.
haydee 10/17/2014
Hi Ophelia! Sorry about the delay. Have you tried the crackers, yet? They're FANTASTIC! Regarding the papadums … I've eaten LOADS of them in my life. I LOVE those things! Typically I've eaten the fried, but have had them baked and they are WONDERFUL! I haven't had them since I've transitioned to low-carb. They're only about 2 carbs per papadum, but … I can't imagine eating only one. I'd eat ALL of them! They're SOOO good! Regarding the fat … I don't fear fat and actually think there are some really great fats out there. We need fat, so fat content is never a concern for me. The fact that they're chick peas might be a bigger concern for me … being a legume … but it's not a huge factor. Mostly … it's just portion control. Tough to eat a small amount of those tasty things! ;)
I am so trying this recipe, it looks delicious! I'm such a crackers&cheese girl, and it's hard to get a good cracker these days when you're low carb dieting. But those pictures look awesome.
As for a low(er) carb alternative to tortilla chips, ever try papadums? They're made with chickpea flour, so they're lower in carbs than corn. Plus you can bake them so they're zero fat. Higher in protein and iron and other good things. I guess the main down side is they don't stay crunchy long once dipped in salsa or queso. They are mad good with quac though. Anyway, just wanted to share that thought.
Ophelia 5/16/2014
Elin, it makes sense that boiling the peppers would dilute the heat. Interesting thought! Ultimately, if you get rid of the seeds and membranes and use generally large peppers, it's not THAT spicy. All the dairy in it helps to subdue the heat. In any event ... any pain you may suffer is worth it. It's delicious! ;) Thanks for the tip! :)
Can't wait to try this recipe. I absolutely love jalapenos but have trouble with the heat. There is now a mild version of the jalapeno but will try this recipe with both. Also, did you know that if you boil the jalapeno (after removing seeds and membrane) for just a few minutes it will take some of the heat out of them. Just an FYI for those that do not like the heat.
Elin 4/12/2014
Kari likes it hot! I don't see why not! ;)
Oh yes this is my new "Go To" with the seeds and maybe a habanero as well.....a little Tapatio and oh it sounds like heaven. i can see me thin slicing some avocado for the top as well once it is removed from the oven :)
Kari 3/21/2014
Laura, when it cooled down to just below scalding ... I couldn't keep my fingers out of it! I REALLY think you'll enjoy it! ;)
This sounds totally delish. I am adding it to my list to try.

Dear Parents & Guardians,
I am delighted that the first term has gone so well and that all our new staff and students have settled in so well.
I would be grateful if you could take the time over the holidays to ensure that your sons and daughters are fully equipped for school and have a sensible school coat to see them through the next few months. I know that adolescents and coats are not a natural partnership but it is preferable to sitting and steaming gently in lessons having arrived at college with a soaking wet blazer.
The French and Spanish exchanges have concluded with both sides enjoying the experience. It is quite daunting, inviting a stranger into your home and overcoming language barriers but many long lasting friendships results from these partnerships.
A final reminder that the opportunity to see the preview of Kayleigh's Love Story is on the first Monday back at 6-00pm in the Drama Studio. A preview is available on leics.police.uk/categories/kayleighs-love-story but you MUST let us know if you DO NOT want your child to see the film BEFORE the 2nd November. Silence will assume consent.
Please find attached a copy of important information in the event of bad weather/school closures.
I hope that you have a very enjoyable half term - College reopens on Monday, 31st October.

So instead, as a self-proclaimed social recluse who cooks all the time, I'll be sharing two basic recipes for lazy people like me -- with as little preparation and cleaning up as possible.
Ingredients (for one):
Spaghetti (a bunch < one inch in diameter would do/ 60 - 80g)
Cream cheese (a tablespoon dollop, add heavy cream if you want a creamier texture)
Garlic (2 - 3 cloves)
Herbs/ Spices (To taste. I like Italian herb mix + a teeny bit of tarragon but parsley and oregano is great too)
1. Boil a medium/ large pot of water with a tablespoon of salt in it. (Use an electronic kettle if you are in a rush.)
2. While waiting for the water to boil, cut the aspharagus, garlic and bacon (in that order).
6. With the same frying pan you fried your egg, cook bacon and saute garlic until lightly brown.
7. While doing the above, drain the pasta until a tiny amount of water remains. Separate the pasta from water and asparagus.
8. Mix miso paste and cream cheese into the pasta water until dissolved. Mix the pasta with the garlic, olive oil and bacon mix (if there's too much oil, get rid of some first).
10. It should be salted just enough from the bacon and miso, but add extra salt and pepper if needed.
This tastes like a creamy carbonara with a slight Japanese twinge to it. Make sure the bacon isn't too salty (as prepackaged bacon tends to be). If it is, blanch it first. Make sure not to use too much olive oil or bacon oil.
half a cup of Japanese short grain rice
peeled small prawns (4 - 5)
miso paste w dashi or dashi and chicken stock (to taste)
1. Pour half a cup of rice into the claypot and wash the rice till clear.

There is nothing like a satisfied and happy customer. The "accolades" below are from actual clients who have purchased or leased a new Mercedes-Benz from our dealership. I had the privilege of earning their business and helping them with the planning of their European Delivery experience. The results are clearly shown in their letters to me or to our management.
Herbert, Your expertise provided us with a rich and rewarding European, MB delivery and touring experience. You have that rare combination of a very knowledgeable soft approach salesman, combined with a wealth of travel experience. Working with you was a real pleasure. I hope we can do it again and soon. Escondido Motors is fortunate to have you on their staff.Dennis & Diane D., San Diego
I want to say thank you so very much for playing such a big part in my birthday celebration! We had a great time! Thank you for taking the time and effort to make our Mercedes-Benz experience so unique and fabulous. You took care of every little detail (directions, hotel and restaurant recommendations, schedules, tips, and much more) leaving us with worry-free time to enjoy our trip. Out of everything you did, one thing I will never forget is when the Mercedes-Benz' lady (in Germany) said: "Mrs. Cruger we have something here for you". To my surprise, she handed me a card. When I opened it, I noticed that it was a very romantic card from my husband wishing me a happy birthday. I was happy, emotional, and very confused. I asked my husband how he did it and he told me... Herbert made it possible. He told me: "I emailed the card content to Herbert, he printed it and mailed it overnight (to Germany) to make sure it was there for you on time". Now that's beyond customer care. Herbert, I cannot thank you enough. Because of you, we would love to do it again four years from now.E.C.
Dear Herbert - Thank you so much for all you did to make our trip unforgettable. You handled everything with utmost professionalism - even picking my car! We really appreciate all the time you spent making sure every step of our itinerary was planned out to get the most out of our week in Germany - from picking the perfect hotels to highlighting our route on the map. I have to admit that by far the most impressive part of the trip was the Mercedes Factory Tour - I never expected that! The Mercedes museum was amazing - we went straight from the airport to the museum on no sleep -we could have spent days in there but had to rush through in 3 hours. We also went to Berlin and Munich, Castle Neuschwanstein and several smaller towns in between - we drove about 1000 miles - driving on the Autobahn was an experience we will never forget! Walking into the delivery area of the factory and seeing my new car was very emotional after seeing all the care and attention to detail that went into its production - We would highly recommend the Mercedes Benz European Delivery Program to anyone who is considering it!Sincerely,Tina and Matt R., Santa Rosa CA.
Dear Herbert, Amazing!!! That is all I can say...Amazing!!! What a vacation and what a car!!! Thank you, Herbert, for all you did for me when I purchased my new SLK 350. It is an amazing car, and you directed my correctly in all aspects of buying it. Thanks for your patience when I was trying to figure out exactly what I wanted on it. You are so patient. And the trip to Germany to pick it up and drive it all over Europe for two weeks...Thanks again and again. It was the trip of a lifetime and absolutely wonderful. The accommodation you made for me were Mercedes-first-class all the way. Thank you again and again. Not only would I recommend that YOU plan this trip for anyone interested, I would like to buy another Mercedes in a few years just to have you plan another European delivery for me. Yes, it really was that good.Again, Herbert, thanks from the bottom of my heart. You are the greatest!!!Sincerely, Rebecca B.
It's very clear why we purchased our C63AMG from you. I was in another dealership the other day and spoke with the former manager for a Maybach dealership. She was most interested in why I went to Escondido Mercedes for the acquisition of our new car. We all know why the car is so incredibly good but why another dealership for the purchase. The first thing that came to mind was not the price, though it was quite acceptable, but the main reason was the overseas delivery specialist, Herbert Haemmer. Your superlative ability to accurately, promptly and efficiently effect the sale and delivery in Stuttgart, is unequivocably second to none. This ability came from your years of travel agency experience as well as your European heritage and your many successful MB deliveries which is well documented. Furthermore, once the vehicle arrived in California, you followed through with any of our small requests. All in all I would recommend you to any qualified, serious buyer of a new Mercedes Benz.Sincerely, L.W. Richards
Dear Mr. Haemmer, I just accepted delivery of my new Mercedes Benz E350 Bluetec that was purchased through Mercedes Benz of Escondido utilizing your European Delivery program. The concept of picking up a car in Europe and bringing it back to the USA was daunting. Your knowledge, experience and professionalism helped me decide that this was possible. But not only was it possible, my family had the experience of a lifetime. We drove from Germany to Belgium, crossed the English Channel and ended up in London. All the recommended hotels were amazing as was the complimentary breakfasts. I would highly recommend this program (adventure) to anyone interested in purchasing a Mercedes Benz. Of course there is only one person capable of delivering this amazing experience and that person is you! Thank you for spending so much time to ensure the success of our vacation.Sincerely, Dr. Ira & Andrea F., La Jolla, CA
PS: We love our new car!
Herbert is not a car salesman, he is your friend in the car industry. Thinks of my needs first, professional, informative and patient. He is not pushy, simply there to assist you in making the right decision. Purchasing an $80k car is not something you just do, especially in this economy. I felt comfortable in my decision and investment, based on Herbert's patience and knowledge. I would not have bought this car from anyone else.Pat H., Oceanside, CA
Herbert, how can we thank you enough? Our trip was WONDERFUL! We so much enjoyed Austria and will be going back again sometime. Konstanz was a lot of fun, and good food and wine! Also, the tour and the Mercedes plant was very informative, even I was interested! And Mercedes really knows the significance of its customers, the accommodations (5-Star) were GREAT and the service #1 by far! Thank you, thank you, thank you!Rhonda & Cliff S., Oceanside, CA
Dear Herbert, I want to thank you for all of your help and assistance for my newest purchase at Mercedes-Benz of Escondido. I could never go anywhere else to buy a Mercedes-Benz. You are truly "The Best"! When I am ready for the "SL" or the new "E" I will get in touch with you. Thank you again for everything.Christine A., San Diego, CA
Gentlemen, A quick note to say what a pleasure it was to purchase our new E320 Sedan at Mercedes-Benz of Escondido. We were impressed by the professionalism of everyone we came in contact with throughout the process. And the European Delivery Program was unbelievable! We were especially impressed with Herbert Haemmer and the personalized service he provided with our trip to Europe and purchase of our vehicle. What a great surprise to find a customized 3-page itinerary he prepared for our trip! It really helped us enjoy our time in Europe, knowing that all of the details of our trip were at our fingertips. In today's assembly-line approach to business, it was a refreshing experience. Now we know what it means to own a Mercedes-Benz - a quality vehicle built, delivered and serviced by quality people.Charlie R., Fallbrook, CA
Hola, Sr. Haemmer! La verdad fue una aventura sin igual, de liga mayor, fenomenal, muy pero muy interesante. Espero verlo pronto y platicarle personalmente todo lo relativo al facinante viaje organizado por Usted, amigo Herbert Haemmer. Gracias por todo. Saludos de sus amigos Vicentes!Vicente V., Chula Vista, CA
Dear Mr. D., We have just recently purchased our fifth vehicle from your dealership, all of them handled perfectly by Herbert Haemmer. I wish to commend you on the fine job you have done in assembling a group of people that are the best I have dealt with in many years of car purchases. I also want to tell you what a wonderful time my wife and I had with the European Delivery of our S63. Herbert not only helped us prepare our plans for the trip, but personally contacted all of the hotels we stayed at, so we received special treatment at each hotel. I was really floored when we arrived at the Interalpen Hotel in Austria on the first night after taking delivery of our S63. I was greeted with a "Happy Birthday Mr. G." at check-in, our room was decorated with a welcoming bottle of champagne and a birthday cake from Herbert, and we had a special dinner table that evening. The entire trip was such a great experience, we will surely be doing it again. Congratulations for having achieved a thriving business with good people and a good reputation.Michael & Trudi G., Encinitas CA
We can't thank Herbert enough for such a great experience, when buying our new E350. Herbert has become more than just our favorite sales person or the person that helped us buy our new car and enjoy an unforgettable trip to Europe to pick it up - he has become our friend! We had Herbert on our side and no obstacles stopped him from delivering what is by far the best car buying experience and vacation we ever had. He took care of all the car ordering specifics, made sure the financing was taken care of, and to top it all off, Herbert became our personal travel planner and agent. We received top notch service everywhere we went. We told Herbert we wanted to make a 17 day road trip to Spain out of this. He sent us a package with maps and highlighted routes, options for stops and sightseeing, you name it. We had a detailed itinerary with more than enough information to make us feel well prepared for our adventure. We wanted to thank Herbert one more time for making our European Delivery an amazing and unforgettable one. We know our next Mercedes will again be on the EDP and have Herbert's name all over it. Before this, buying a car was all about the car, now and thanks to Herbert, it's all about superb personal service and the overall amazing experience. Thanks again!!!Anibal & Elizabeth G., Orlando FL
Never had a better buying experience than from Herbert. Everything was handled so professionally and with such great care. All of our arrangements to buy our car and take delivery at the factory were made while we were in Spain. I'm already looking forward to buying our next car from Herbert.Jack & Katie, Malaga, Spain
It was truly a pleasure working with you in the purchase of our fine E350! You are a delightful man who is very cordial and knowledgeable. You had many fine ideas that enhanced our vacation. Thank you! What a fine quality car, and we look forward to purchasing our next Mercedes-Benz from you. Thanks again for your professional service!Dick & Kitty, Escondido, CA
Dear Mr. Haemmer - "Thanks for all your hard work. It has been such a pleasure working with you, albeit hundreds of miles away. Your dedication, knowledge and professionalism have been superb! I have been trying for months to buy a Mercedes-Benz, as well as experience the adventure of the Black Forest Rally Package. It seemed no dealer in Detroit, Michigan was very knowledgable about the program. I even tried to walk one salesperson through some of the steps to get the process going with no results. However, when I contacted you, everything fell right in to place. Not only do I feel like I have known you forever. I feel as though I always have your undivided attention. No matter how minor or trivial my questions may seem, I feel very comfortable and confident that you are taking care of me. That is just to say, how well you have been through this process thus far. It is nice to be able to trust someone and know you are getting a bang for your buck! I know Tom and I are going to have a blast in October when we begin our adventure. We cannot wait!!!Rene B. & Tom S., Detroit, MI
Comments Loved the Owner Chief at the Golden Rose, Jager House at Lisl was neat, the Castles were incredible, the entire European delivery experience and the way Mercedes and most of all you Herbert have treated us has been fantastic...I have been telling everyone I know who mentions a car that they should see you and Escondido MB, for the best treatment and best car buying experience I have ever experienced!George & Robin C, San Diego, CA
The trip has been herrlich. MBZ pickup was outstanding. The S350 Is beautiful. We had a wonderful time in Stuttgart, also went to the Cann Statter festival. Interalpen was fantasticDr. Karl, in Palm Desert, CA
I am writing once again to especially to thank you for your great service, reservations, and recommendations for our trip. The car is awesome and we are really enjoying it and the whole EDP experience. Again, I truly thank you for you professional, knowledgeable, and most of all personal friendly service and advice throughout the purchase of my new car and everything you have done for us on this trip!Chris
Thanks so much for all of your help! The process went perfectly. Cathy didn't think she'd be interested in the factory tour and now she's already talking about doing it again. The car is great too. I felt like I was driving a computer! There's so much more to master these days. I remember when a clutch seemed complicated... We both really appreciate everything you did. The process would have been a lot more confusing, & probably frustrating, without your help and all the info. you gave us. We even commented to ourselves about how much your info. helped. I would highly recommend the process, especially with your help, to anyone. There's a good chance that we'll be contacting you again in the next couple of years for a GLK.Brian & Cathy M., Houston, TX
I highly recommend Herbert for your European Delivery experience. He gives you the total package of a great advisor for your car purchase combined with a great travel agent! From the beginning of my purchase experienced to guiding me through Europe while on my month long trip, Herbert was constantly in touch with me recommending hotels and activities up until my departure back to the USA. Do yourself a favor and work with Herbert for your European Delivery, his knowledge is invaluable and he's also a heck of a nice guy! I can't wait to pick up the next one!Chris P., WVa.
We've just returned from our summer vacation and we both want to thank you for the outstanding experience we've lived and for the excellent customer service you have provided to us. Taking delivery of the car was quite fascinating, as were the accommodations provided. Driving a CLS 550 4Matic on the autobahn is something to write home about. Everywhere we stopped, the car and mainly its color that you so well adviced me to choose, was admired and we got frequentlly congratulated for having it. Best regards to you and your wife and hope when you come back to Europe you'll have the time to come around to visit with us. Thank you very mu ch, again.Virgil A., Bucharest, Romania

Picked up the car today. What an awesome ride! Even better than I remember in Germany! Just beautiful. I can't say enough good things about our trip! We had an absolutely wonderful time and all accommodations were first rate. The car is awesome also! Thank you for all your help, the wonderful car and trip!Ray W., Athens, GA
Herbert, Sorry this has taken so long to send, but we did want to make sure we sent you a note to say thank you for taking such great care of us and managing the process of ordering our new Mercedes E350 European delivery experience! The entire process was easy, fun, and professionally managed. We appreciated you keeping us updated at each step of the process and for always making time for us if we wanted to stop by and ask questions. We also appreciate all the recommendations to make the most of our trip. It was a special trip for us, a celebration of our 10 year anniversary. The hotels we selected in the delivery package were all wonderful --- stunning locations and friendly personal service. The Interalpen was incredible and one of our favorite stops on the trip, we are glad you recommended staying extra nights! We put over 2,300 miles enjoying the Autobahn and tiny streets and lanes of Germany, Austria and France and loved every minute of it. Dankeschön! We will be back in a couple of years to do it again! Auf Weidersehen!Viktor & Rachel R., Chula Vista, CA
Thank you, Herbert, for all your help and excellent service during this exercise and it just goes to show that honesty and hard work beat out those who don't understand apathy and good service! It was a great experience working with you and I'm already thinking of the 2014 E250 BlueTEC 4MATIC (same good little high-torque engine) as the next excuse to visit Stuttgart again!! Best regards, JohnJohn L., Manchester, NH
Dear Herbert, We had a most wonderful trip. Perfect weather. Not one day of rain. All hotels were beautiful--especially the Interalpen Hotel in Tirol, Austria! Herrlich! Simovic says hello, KundenCenter girls say hello, and Christina from Interalpen sends her regards. A most wonderful experience for the entire family.Dr. Karl S., Palm Springs, CA
I really like Europe and Germany in particular, I'll explain some day. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all you have done for us. Roger is doing nicely. We leave for Stuttgart tomorrow morning to drop the car. I will ask if there is a way to track cars' location as it moves slowly to SD, via the Internet. Thanks again, today I will try to buy red socks, to go with my red car, at a department store. Can't buy red ones in the US. Thanks again.Bill L., San Diego, CA
Love it so much!!!! Having an incredible trip! Thank you again!!Laura
We made it safely home. It was an incredible trip. What more can I say. Thank you! I told a friend of mine about the trip and he was amazed. We're ready to go back in a few years to get another one. There's so much more to see and do and we loved it all. Sincerely yours, Joe B.Joe B., Green Lane, PA
I just received your package. Great job on the itinerary! I am so happy that I found you on the Internet. I will be sure to recommend your services to anyone that asks me about the MB EDP. Thank you for all your help.Henry H., Charlottesville, WVa
Good Morning Herbert: Jane and I are really impressed with the quality of your travel package. I've been exposed to hundreds of travel presentations over the years and yours is the very best we have ever seen. We hope Mercedes knows of your professionalism and the detailed level of support you give to your customers. All the very best my friend.Jack and Jane Kelley
Just a short note to let you know we returned safe and sound. We had the time of our lives and really appreciated the opportunity to meet with you and Lilly along with all of the other good folks at the birthday party in the mountains. What a great time we all had. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of the good times. I'll write more later and update the letter I want to forward to your Pals in management telling them of what a great job you do for your customers who then become your friends. All the best for now.Jack and Jane K., Phoenix, AZ
IT WAS GREAT ! We arrived home yesterday. The car pickup went without a hitch and was a very pleasant experience. The woman who helped us told us you had been there a couple days previous to our trip. I think we could have spent all day at the Mercedes dealer eating pretzels. The factory tour was interesting. The hotel in Stuttgart was an excellent location and the taxi service went without a hitch. We visited the Porsche and Mercedes museums. Munich on Sunday was a madhouse and your hotel recommendation was appreciated. One couldn't drive into downtown Munich on Sunday due to parades and the amount of foot traffic. We did come back to Munich during the week when things calmed down. Thank you for helping us plan the trip. We had a memorable experience and the kids had a wonderful time. Now, what type of car do we get next so we can go back? My daughter is telling all her friends at work and they are interested. I told her to send any business your way. Thanks again,Rod H., Vancouver, WA
We love our new car!!! Today we drive it into France. Thank you for the champagne and flowers. That was very thoughtful. The Graf Zeppelin was a great place to stay. Please take care...Lois and John
Thank you for helping to arrange a wonderful Black Forest Alps Rally. The hotels were all wonderful. You were right about the Interalpen Hotel. It is the finest place in which I have ever stayed. Two nights would have been even better as you suggested. I drop off my GLK tomorrow morning in Zurich. I hope it arrives safely in Richmond. I really enjoyed driving it and am glad it was built in Germany rather than in southern USA.Henry H., Charlottesville, VA
Herbert, I'm back home and finally have my head out of the clouds. I can't thank you enough for all of your assistance and I will go on to the Mercedes Forum and advise everyone that "You are THE Man"! Attached is a picture of my car in the snow in the Black Forrest. Don't see much of that in Florida!! Thank you for your guidance and again thanks for all of your help. You have been wonderful!!!Pam M., Tampa, FL
Indeed, I have enjoyed the exciting buying and driving experience of this awesome car! The delivery in Beaumont was outstanding. The feeling of driving this magnificent car in Houston streets can't be explained. The pleasure and satisfaction of the car luxury, comfort, sportiness, smartness is beyond any scale. So, in nutshell, I am extremely impressed! The other side of the experience is your outstanding customer service, Herbert. From the first day I contacted you requesting a quote till the USA delivery day, the process and experience is serious excellence! Throughout my experience buying luxury cars, I have not seen a level of service and buying program that matches yours, or even come close. I have been telling my friends and family about this program and your outstanding service in particular. In my schedule, and once the right time comes, I am planning to buy the next S class car, and my wife's S class through the same program. Boy, what a program! Thank you Herbert. Thank you for this outstanding service and program. Best regards,Abdulazim A., Houston, TX
Dear Herbert:
Thank you once again for your professional competence and generous patience in guiding me through the purchase and European delivery of my beautiful new Mercedes-Benz. I admit I had some initial reservations about making the purchase "long idstance" rather than from a local dealer, but it didn't take too long for me to realize the value of your level of expertise in the process. Every question I asked local dealers about European delivery book took two or three people to address, but you had all the answers and handled every one of my issues with confidence. And best of all, the entire process -- from placing the initial order to picking up the car in Stuttgart to shipping it home -- played out exactly as you had described. There were no surprises or disappointments, and for that you have my heartfelt gratitude.
It has been a genuine pleasure to deal with you, Herbert. If you ever have customers who would like to talk to one of your satisfied clients, you are welcome to send them my way. I will be happy to give you a sterling recommendation. Best wishes always!Bill Anderson
The Best or nothing..Dear Herbert - Thank you so much for helping my family and I having the experience of a lifetime..your knowledge of the European Delivery program and experience traveling in Europe made a huge difference in making our trip unforgettable. I really appreciate your help, patience and time helping customizing our vehicle and our particular schedule, from Hotel recommendations, restaurants, train connections, everything was great.
We arrived the day before delivery and the experience was superb. The Mercedes Benz Museum is a must see for anyone visiting Germany, but the best part was the Factory Tour. It's really fascinating the technology and engineering that goes into making the best Automobile in world.
Driving the Autobahn was an experience in itself and there is a lot more than the fact about the no speed limit. We went to Neuschwanstein Castle and crossed the Swiss Alps during a winter storm. I felt really safe with all the safety features Mercedes put in their Vehicles today. We then arrived in Paris, and drove our new car trough the Champ Elysee's. I even had fun taking pictures of the Eiffel Tower. The return Center in Paris is conveniently located next to the airport, and transportation to the terminal was all arranged.
If you are considering European Delivery..look no further and go with the best person in the world for this…Thank you Herbert and until next E.D.Mario A., Orlando, FL
Hi Herbert! A belated greetings to you from San Francisco! We got home from Europe on the 1st after a fantastic adventure!
Everything was truly wonderful. The experience picking up the car was first rate, and the entire experience was very well organized and we were well taken care of. Thanks again for all of your efforts on our behalf! And of course... the car itself is a dream. Just perfect in every way. We LOVE it!
After leaving Stuttgart, we drove to France, then on to Switzerland. Frrom there we visited Lyon, Barcelona, and then the village of Vence, just above Nice. We even went to Monaco for the day and it happened to be the same day of the Grand Prix! All in all a perfect trip!
Thanks Herbert! Looking forward to meeting you in person.
All the best,Carl & Roger
I was 100% satisfied with service of Herbert Haemmer of MB Escondido, CA, and the European Delivery program. Purchase price negotiations handled professionally and all travel and car paperwork and details went smoothly. Herbert also offered over the top service with itinerary, hotel, and restaurant recommendations that were spot on. Loved the plant tour and car pickup process. Driving in Germany was easy. We had a lovely and memorable experience. Thanks Herbert and MB!Martha B., Atlanta, GA

However brief and lacking, the request was made so I will attempt to deliver what Veterans Day means to me.
To me this is one of those "that depends" answers but is rooted much deeper, like the sailor/survivor of a treacherous sea voyage being asked what they think of the ocean, and receiving an immediate reply of, "which drop / which day?" I know that the question was posed on the broad brush, on the desire to honor the marketed support of this sacred day. Just know that when asked, like many veterans, I am flooded with many emotions, memories, thoughts, and wonderment of lives and opportunity that might have been, in appreciation for more sacrifice and service that I can ever hope to describe and never will.
I guess I can begin by saying that I always felt it appropriate that Veterans Day fell almost exactly between Election Day and Thanksgiving, as if immediately following the actionable use of our most basic right for peaceful revolution, and immediately before our time of thankful reflection, we are to turn our attention to honor those who have served, the ones that ensure both those days remain a possibility. Like many veterans, more than some, and far less than others, I had the honor, privilege, and distinction of serving in Iraq on two occasions; one tour early on in the Operation, one tour very late. I saw firsthand the creation of the bubble of security and livelihood that we call Freedom, how it began, how it was nearly lost, how it grew, and how big it was when we let it go and left it there alone, afraid it would burst but trusting it would continue to be more than we ever knew it to be.
Yes Sir, it was amazing to see land that was being fought over one year, which I fought for, becoming a gathering place of livelihood several years later. Yes Ma'am, freedom isn't free! To me veterans are the farmers and parents of freedom, we guard it, nurture it, and pass it on to our civilian leaders trusting that the adolescent freedom we have born is led, taught, and cultivated into a responsible system that benefits the many. To me Veterans Day is a sacred pride, a reaching out and thanking those I served alongside, a silent witnessing of other veterans I never knew, wondering what their pain and story was, thanking them none the less; it is the memory of what real service, sacrifice, and leadership means.
Someone once told me that to serve is to willingly set yourself ablaze for the benefit of others. Perhaps these brief ramblings, one veteran's ramblings, spoke to you; perhaps they didn't, whichever way I hope that on this hallowed Veterans Day you are able to find a veteran and say, "thank you."
And because this was initiated by way of our great Mason & Hanger marketing group, I'd like to do my own bit of marketing (if they will allow), as I think it is appropriate. One of my soldiers, at the time, I his platoon leader, he my second squad gunner, has written what many have called the first great American novel to come out of the Iraq War. The book is called "The Yellow Birds," a novel by Kevin Powers. I encourage you each to read it and tell your friends about it. It is a veteran's perspective, and a good one. Happy Veterans Day, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.
Very Respectfully,
T. Brett Prillaman

Tips for Hosting a Neighborhood Meet and Greet
Some of the best tips for hosting a meet and greet are the same as for any party: invite well, plan for things to go off-plan and keep people fed, hydrated and happy. Here's how some of that translates to a block party for kids and adults:
- Recruit people to make and hand deliver invites and to follow up with e-mail or Facebook reminders to keep the upcoming event alive.
- Check with the neighborhood association and local authorities about needed permits and fees.
- Pick a venue and have a plan B for weather changes if held outside.
- Where will people go to the bathroom? It's a big deal for a large gathering!
- Who will do what? Delegate work down to the smallest details and exchange texts for all the rest -- keep in-person meetings to a minimum or over cocktails or dessert as time allows.
- Decide on music, entertainment or any games and be bold in asking neighbors if they have any special talents they'd like to share, musically, with decorating, or otherwise (except maybe miming).
- Take plenty of paper while inviting and keep signing up neighbors for food, shopping or entertaining. Most people will readily volunteer up front before being asked and others will be ready to hand over money on the spot rather than cook or be part of the planning.
- Plan the menu and pick up plates, cups, cutlery and coolers in advance to just get it checked off the list.
Sound expensive? Maybe not.

Large enrolment of students in most African universities and its attendant problems have led to falling level of the quality of the university graduate in the area of communication skills, a skill that most employers value most in a university graduate seeking an employment. Using formative experiment (Reinking & Watkins, 2000), this thesis explored the use of a blended learning environment named ABLECAT, to improve the students' know-ledge and skills in the course. The result was the development of a local theory through the use of 'motivate, explore, apply and review/assess' design of the blended learning environment, for both the process of learning and means designed to support the learning of communication skills.

text: Eagles NRL skipper draws line in sand July 18, 2005 - 7:29PM It's official - the bubble has burst at Manly, according to Sea Eagles skipper Michael Monaghan. The Manly halfback made the brutally honest call on Monday, a day after the former NRL ladder leaders slid to their fourth straight defeat - a 36-10 round 19 thumping at the hands of St George Illawarra at Brookvale Oval. But Monaghan has drawn a line in the sand, saying the Sea Eagles now have to "put up or shut up" to make the NRL finals. "People were waiting for our bubble to burst, it's probably taken longer than they expected," Monaghan said. "But without making excuses we've had to deal with things we haven't previously, like players at State of Origin and a lot of injuries - we've missed six or seven players at a time. "But now Origin is over and blokes are coming back from injuries, the time for excuses is over. "If we don't make the most of the last six weeks and make the finals we have no one to blame but ourselves." Monaghan admitted Manly's on-going talks with off-contract Melbourne half Matt Orford had been a distraction. I guess it has been...but we are just concentrating on finishing this season well, if he comes next year we will sort it out then," he said. "If he signs for Manly he ain't going to be playing for us in the last six games - it's a matter of the guys who are here doing what we need to do to make the finals. "We have put ourselves in a position where we can do something special in the finals - we don't want to let that slip." Manly (10-8 record) remains in the top eight thanks to a congested NRL ladder in which the Sea Eagles are one of six teams on 22 competition points - from fourth-placed Melbourne to ninth-placed Canberra. Monaghan said the packed ladder had worked in Manly's favour but admitted the Sea Eagles would have to start flying in their final six regular season games after this weekend's welcome bye. "Any time you lose four in a row confidence and morale is going to be low," he said. "We have dropped back in the field...(but) while we are technically eighth on the ladder we are still equal fourth so if we finish the season well hopefully we are playing finals football. "It's definitely not a lost cause. "The bye probably comes at a good time for us. We have worked out we need to win at least three of our final games to ensure a finals spot." Monaghan admitted he "couldn't put his finger" on what had been going so wrong at Manly. "For some reasons we are lacking enthusiasm and energy. It's not our gameplan that's the problem," he said. "When you are winning games sometimes you really don't know how you have won it...and it's the same when you are losing. "You try your best but somehow you keep coming out behind - hopefully the tide will turn." On his own form, Monaghan said: "I don't think I am playing as well I can and that has coincided with the team's lack of form. "I am certainly trying but things just don't seem to be happening at the moment. "But now we've got a big opportunity to make the finals and we have to take advantage of it in the next six weeks."

Can't wait to see the new Mira design.
It sounds like a wonderful opportunity. I really love her artwork. I especially love the one on the right. It looks like red riding hood wearing a wolf capReplyDelete
The retreat looks like a lot of fun! My heart skipped a beat when you said Alice in Wonderland, I think a Queen of Hearts inspired lady would be awesome from Nora! Great progress on Blossom too :)ReplyDelete

With more hands bypassing the TV remote to reach for the game pad, there's no doubt that marketers would love to get into video game brand placement in a bigger way. But the fact that the medium has no infrastructure for tracking ad effectiveness takes some of the shine off the proposition. That could all change very soon.
Nielsen Entertainment and game publisher Activision are in the very early stages of developing an initiative that will supply advertisers with audience measurement metrics for video games. Nielsen plans to break games down into bite-sized chunks – measuring ad exposure and recall when a player is in a particular game phase – and then chart these impressions by demographic.
For its part, Activision has been incorporating brand placements in its video games since the first Tony Hawk Pro Skater game was released in 1999. The company chose to partner with Nielsen because an unmeasured medium is typically undervalued outside of its own industry.
Michael Oxman, managing director for the Chicago office of Jam International, a media agency that secures in-game advertising deals for game studios such as Ubi Soft and Eidos Interactive, says brand placement has ramped up significantly over the past two years. Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Forrester Research goes one step further, estimating that annual revenues for this type of marketing will jump to US$700 million by 2005, up from a ballpark of US$100 million last year.
More companies have been encouraged to take the plunge by the video game sector's burgeoning market presence. The NPD Group reported earlier this year that total U.S. retail sales of video games, which includes portable and console hardware, software and accessories, topped US$10 billion in 2003.
Tim Harris, VP and partner at Starcom Worldwide, says marketers have appreciated the growth potential of video games for a while now, but they're still just on the cusp of investing their brands. A standardized measurement system would certainly add credibility to the medium, but Harris wonders how Nielsen plans to measure the difference between passive placements (such as background billboard insertions) and active integration (for example, choosing what brand of car to race in a game).
University of Wisconsin professor Michelle Nelson conducted a study with 62 adult gamers in 2002 to track brand placement recall and attitudes about advertising in computer and video games. She says telepresence, meaning the degree to which a player feels like a part of the game, is higher for active brand placements. When gamers created their own customized racing car, for example, the majority of the test group was able to name the brand of car they chose. Yet these same gamers were typically too involved with keeping the car on the virtual road to remember any of the billboard ads they passed on the way to the finish line.
Be it passive or active placement, Harris expects Nielsen's plans to measure video game brand impact to help bring in more brand placement business. As long as the metrics can decipher where and for how long players were exposed to a brand, Harris says marketers will be able to draw their own conclusions from an effectiveness standpoint. But he stresses that, data or no data, agencies will still have to present compelling reasons to convince advertisers that they will see a tangible return on investing in this medium.

Congratulations Morozombie! I look forward to your recap of Yuzuru's fulfillment of your prediction. There is also a youtube video of his 2009 World Junior Championships LP where sadly he did not even make it to the podium but even then the British Eurosport commentators (Simon Reed and Chris Howarth) spotted his obvious talent and spoke of him as "the future."

Without getting into a discussion about its merits, there's a curious phenomenon developing here which one can't fail to notice upon visiting imdb.
Saw IV is an anomaly amongst the mainstream (if we can call it such) in that it demands a hell of a lot of work from you; not just the film itself, but the implicit presupposition of your total familiarity with the other three (if not the short). It's the type of referenced complexity usually only found in literature. To be so punishingly exacting, to me, is a pleasure in itself in an era when most movies still treat us like lobotomised imbeciles with constant scripted prompts, unnecessary repetition in the narrative, not to mention the clichéd musical emotional cues.
Therefore, I visited its imdb page to get my head around some of the dense new plotlines and was astonished to see the number of board postings. Hundreds of pages each containing dozens, in addition to each containing comments therein. In merely three days. To put that into perspective, the iconic Star Wars and The Godfather have eleven and twelve pages respectively.
Further to this veritable supernova of artistic feedback (which I highly value), you'll at once see how extremely polarised it is in terms of verdict (which I also highly value). So whatever your own view is, in addition to capturing people's imaginations like nothing else in recent memory, it's apparent we're split into two very clear camps. Trick or treat.

"The Godfather": A magnificent granite mountain, the pinnacle of geologic success.
"Saw IV": Buddy Holly.
- Sarah Trotsky said...
I never cared for the Godfather.
(then again, I AM fond of Lucio Fulci, so count me right out of any sort of value judgments)
however, I have to say that the Halloween films
(after the first one, which was perfect and simple) have an intensely involved mythos one has to follow; new rules constantly being created, two immortal nemeses vying for power, utter absurdly...
I just love the idea of the writers for the different films creating little challenges for the writers of the next one.
Take for example the way they ended five...
The 90's really ended the whole thing.
I'm glad they're making unapologetic horror movies again, and to that end I'm satisfied.
Halloween III: Season of the Witch made a lot of people angry too.
I know it was 1982, but it STILL makes people angry. check the boards on that!
There's a lot of love in the world for Halloween III, and a lot of hate too. That doesn't make it a good movie by default. or a bad one.
but at the end of the day, all I really want to see is Tom Atkins (as the impressive Dr. Daniel 'Dan' Challis) fighting Conal Cochran, who when asked why he wants to kill children thinks for a second, and then replies "Do I really need a reason?"
- SYpHA_69 said...
You know, I still haven't seen the first "Saw" yet I've seen the two that follow it and plan on seeing the fourth on Wednesday. There was some stuff in the third one that confused me, most likely because I never saw the first one. Oh well, one of these days...
- Walter Peck said...
Funnily enough, 'unnecessary repetition in the narrative' is one of the things that bugs me most about the Saw series. Especially at the end of each when just as the twist is revealed there are about 20 cut-aways to scenes earlier in the film foreshadowing the big reveal.
- David Cotner said...
Stacey Nelkin, who played Ellie Grimbridge in "Halloween III," at age 17 had an affair with Woody Allen; Mariel Hemingway's character in "Manhattan" is purportedly based on this affair.

These two girls made me wish I had a sister! They were so fun and so affectionate toward each other. They had quite an arsenal of inside jokes. I really enjoyed the time I spent romping through the city and getting to know them!
Don't you love how they just folded up into one another?
It's hard to tell their two bodies apart!

Weather Monitoring
Student weather monitoring in Walker Valley Tennessee
All school groups help us to monitor our weather here in Walker Valley. Each morning before breakfast, a small delegation of students meets at the weather station to collect data on variables such as temperature, barometric pressure, relative humidity, wind speed, precipitation and river depth. They then get to report their findings to the rest of the students during breakfast, and they use those data to predict the day's weather using our Wheel of Weather. More information on this project can be found at: Weather Monitoring
Topic - weather, meteorology, precipitation, temperature, humidity, barometric pressure
Audience - Any age
Location - Great Smoky Mountains National Park, TN, USA
Goals - education, climate, weather monitoring, research

Aegon managing director for retail Duncan Jarrett has decided to retire after 30 years with the business.
Jarrett took responsibility for leading Aegon's UK salesforce in January 2010. He joined Scottish Equitable in 1986 as a sales consultant, before taking on a number of key senior management sales roles, including national sales director.
He will leave Aegon at the end of June.
Managing director for customer value management Mark Till is to take on an enlarged role within the UK business as chief distribution and marketing officer. Till will be responsible for the retail and workplace sales teams as well as marketing, investments, digital and user experience.
His remit will also cover the BlackRock defined contribution platform, which Aegon announced it was acquiring earlier this month.
Aegon UK chief executive Adrian Grace says: "Throughout his career with us, Duncan has made a significant difference to our organisation and the people within it. Personally, I have never worked with a more committed, loyal and professional colleague than Duncan. On behalf of Aegon, I'd like to wish Duncan all the very best for his retirement.
"Mark joined us last year and has already made a significant contribution to the business. We've made our commitment to building the best platform for advisers and employers clear and I believe Mark is well placed to run the activities that are critical to achieving that goal."

Wow 3 followers! This is a little uplifing for me. When I started about a few months ago, getting only one follower was, well, making me wonder if it was worth it. I knew I wasn't a big wig like Mark Shea, The Crescat, The Anchoress (who was one of the lucky 150 bloggers around the world to be invited to the Vatican blogger summit May 1 or 2 of this year,) or other well-noted Catholic Bloggers. Now seeing 3 as of today, that gives me hope. I'll thank you all properly in the next few days hopefully as I can sit down and devote time to write a proper post, with 4 days off from work and no plans (hopefully with no substiution calls to replace a sick/vacationing co-worker).
So for now, just a little quick post to give you something sweet. One of my favourite blogs is What Does the Prayer Really Say, by Fr. John Zuhlsdorf of the U.S.A (who mostly celebrates mass at Holy Innocents in Manhattan, New York in the Extraordinary Form). One of his posts deals with a reader who sent a letter about a nasty reaction from an usher to a mother's kid who was a little too loud with his cars during an EF Mass. The post is here. One of the Comments caught my eye, by AnnAsher, who gave a simple, but beautiful explanation for her young children on why we go to Mass. Here is the comment with the bold part being the most important.
"AnnAsher says:
We ended up two rows in front of an elderly couple whom I usually make sure to sit well behind. They are newer to our TLM and not of the friendly variety I'm used to there. My boys – 4 and 6, 6 year old has autism- wiggle. Not noisy usually – but wiggle. Lie down, sit up, feet in the air, lie under the pew. When the elderly couple of far enough away I dont have to deal with his facial expressions. My sons have made great progress- I can actually attend all of Mass now – well usually. Today, I could simply feel the heat from behind me. So I feel the writers pain. I suppose my advice is to try to find a safe spot to hide out with your little one and his car! We've had various items I've tried – none of them work for long. Today, when we left I told the 4 year old that Mass is important and that we must not wiggle there, or in restaurants and movie theaters. Mass is important, I said, because we come to say thank you to Jesus for opening Heaven for us. We come to say Thankyou to God for making us, because He loves us so much, He made us. So I say thank you God for making — and I named him and his sibs. He said to me " I like church now. I love you Mom and I'm glad God made you. I love heaven too – Mary is there".So take heart- they get It eventually!"
Smile and enjoy. If you do have, or will have kids, keep this in the memory bank and repeat this to them. Share with them the beauty of the Mass, albeit in a simple form for them at those ages. YCRCM.

Hey lovely bloggers, so the power is back on now (yay!) and I am happy to say my house is still standing and all is well for my family. We have a bit of paint damage from hail, my favourite tree to read under has no leaves left on it and my second favourite tree to read under fell down, and the most serious damage we have suffered is that our office carpet is ruined and needed to be ripped up, so we have no computer at the moment. Unfortunately, no computer means limited blogging ability and I am struggling without my daily computer fix! (serious techno junky here!) but have no fear, we have already found someone to replace our carpet cheaply and my cousin is giving us his leftover carpet that he is currently laying to save us the huge amount of money that is the balance of this years insurance payments and excess.
In other news, although the weather still looks sketchy as, Jake and I are heading for Jerusalem Creek this afternoon for a camping trip! We originally were going to go further and stay in a hotel but I said I wanted to go camping instead (I've only been once in my life and it's such a novelty for me) and since the sky is grey and gloomy, we decided against going to far in case we need to make a quick exit at some point! Jerusalem creek is about half an hour from my place and it is supposed to be absolutely beautiful! It's in the middle of a national park and the camping grounds are quite simple without many facilities but it's a great place to go and everyone around here loves it!
I'm hoping that you won't hear from me until Sunday night - that is when we plan to return if the weather holds out long enough for us, so I hope you all have a great rest of the week and I can't wait to get back into the full swing of blogging after my camping trip!

before my business trip I managed to get in a sea fishing trip with colleagues from work. One particular boat we sometimes charter has a tie-up with the local onsen, where you fish till 2:30pm and then head back to port; on reaching moorings the onsen has a coach waiting to carry you to the inn, and you hand over all your catch to the owners and then jump in the baths. Whilst you are having a dip in the hot spring waters the inn chefs whip up a meal with your fish, and when you emerge refreshed and pink from the baths your dinner arrives, usually a great many courses, and your first nama beer is free (invariably a greater number is consumed)!
We went fishing for croakers, or ishimochi in Japanese, and even the most inexperienced anglers among us took a hatful – with a stiff northerly breeze and a handy making tide, neither too quick nor slow, from 9:30am, the fish put up a good show. The only incident of note was when we arrived at port and as it came to my turn to disembark, the ship gave a little shudder as she rode to her moorings: with my rod case in one hand and heavy ice-chest in the other and my pack on my shoulder, I had no hands free and fell flat on my face into the scuppers like the greenest, most flat-footed, slab-slided landlubber on earth. Although no-one called out Butcher! and the skipper remained po-faced as ever, simply taking my chest from me and handing me over, a girl on board decided the best way to proceed would be to squeal, loudly, but fortunately and most curiously the only injury I suffered was to my pride and despite such a tumble I could not detect any physical harm to my person. One of my fishing buddies stove in two of his ribs in exactly the same fashion a few years ago, so I can count myself lucky. Anyway, the hot waters of the onsen rapidly diverted my attention to the prospect of dinner; croaker is generally not considered a fish good as sashimi (I don't mind it) but being a very white, flaky fish easily takes up sauces and flavours and can be cooked a variety of ways. Well the dishes came up hot and hot from the kitchen and we were not disappointed; we ate croaker deep-fried, grilled, stewed in soy sauce, à la meunière, filleted and served with a spicy tomato salsa, and to round everything off, as we polished off a bottle of shochu firewater, clear fish soup. It was a day to remember on the grounds of gluttony alone, but the onsen is always a great way to end a day's fishing particularly when it is cold out. Also, although I like to pride myself on cooking my catch, there is something to be said for occasionally having a professional cook a meal for you, and hopefully these photos will attest to this.
Deep-fried whole fish.
Soy sauce-braised.
Seasoned with nothing more than sea salt and then grilled over a fire; served with grated daikon radish.
Croaker cooked à la meunière; these disappeared very rapidly.
Fillets served with tomato and olive salsa.
The clear soup, to finish proceedings. Many thanks to Esamasa-maru, sailing from Haneda, Tokyo and the New-Land Onsen!

Today in social studies, we had a task that contains latest article government's. As you can see I already have the article link below... as well as a paragraph that I wrote about what I read and what I think about the article. I also added a bit of my opinions on what I think about the new leader, Jacinda Ardern.
- Title: _Ardern factor pushes Labour up nine points in new poll_
Jacinda Ardern - New leader of Labour
Government members in the article - Individuals or groups in the story.
Start: In the latest article that I read is about Labour's new leader Jacinda Ardern. The Newshub Reid Research poll was taken during the week after she replace Andrew Little as leader. The results of the latest poll with Jacinda Ardern the new leader of labour has the party up 9 points to 33 percent. Which had National down to 44 percent which is the lowest registered in this poll in the past 10 years. The rise of Labour's registers was even higher than NZ First's and Greens parties. NZ First's down more than 3 points to 9%, with Greens down more than 4 points to 8%. With the Prime Minister's preferring stakes Bill English up to 27.7% where's Miss Ardern was up more than 17% to 26.3%. NZ First leader Winston Peters down at 10%. The poll surveyed a 1000 people and had a margin of error 3.1%. I think that the rise of Labour with Jacinda Ardern's register is a good thing. The rise of this labour will lead to path of Labour wining and also having NZ's new Prime Minister - the 2nd woman prime minister. I want NZ to have a female prime minister so we can have new choices from different thoughts.

First, I was dying to finish my high school and start college.
And then I was dying to finish college and start working.
Then I was dying to marry and have children to grow old enough so I could go back to work.
But then I was dying to retire.
And now I am dying…
And suddenly I realized I forgot to live.
To make money we lose our health,
And then to restore our health we lose our money…
We live as if we are never going to die,
And we die as if we never lived…
Please don't let this happen to you.

Flooded Candidate Pool, Still Making Wrong Hires... Why?
First of all, you're not alone! However, the question remains: Why are we unable to make great hiring decisions? The answer is simple: BIAS. Attracting candidates is easy today. Screening out all of the unqualified to discover a superior performer is the real challenge. This challenge also means we must look at the job objectively and eliminate any biases that keep us from selecting the best candidate.

Arizona Dbacks Primary Logo Stream
The Arizona Diamondbacks have been in existence since 1998 as an expansion team along with Tampa Bay Rays who were formerly known then as the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. The Diamondbacks have had the fortune of playing in a World Series and winning it all in 2001. As a recent expansion team winning in 2001 is quite an accomplishment, only the Miami Marlins as a recent expansion team has won a world series, besides the Dbacks.
In looking at the logo history of the Diamondbacks, they have consistently us the snake designed letter "A" with a snake tongue in the center. From 1998 to the present logo they have change the fonts on the two different wordmark and once the colors.
The Diamondback's featured primary logo in 1998 was with the original colors of purple, black, teal and copper. The logo is a nice looking logo that represents the heart of the desert community. The dominate color of teal was attractive till they changed to the Sedona Red dominance.
In 2007 the logo shifted and changed colors to a Sedona Red brilliance. The snake designed letter "A" did not change only the color layout. They did make a significant change with fonts of the wordmark "Diamondback" to a custom styled font. The bold color change to the Sedona Red makes the logo pop a little better, nice improvement.
Only a year later in 2008 the Diamondbacks make another subtle change to the logo, by changing the fonts to the wordmark again. The new custom fonts for the wordmark "Diamondbacks" added a snake fang looking letters for both the letter "A" and "K." Nice cuteness to the logo.
In 2012 the Diamondbacks change to what is their current primary logo. The change was to remove the wordmark "Diamondbacks" from the logo. Keeping the stoic snake looking letter "A." The logo is now simple and not as busy without the workmark.
The Diamondbacks identity is set, the snake looking letter "A" is very recognizable, simple and bold. When a logo can stand by itself with any wordage the logo is strong and timeless. See the Diamondback logo image with all four primary logos.
