David Icke: Born April 29, 1952
David Vaughan Icke (born April 29, 1952) is an English writer, conspiracy theorist and public speaker best known for his views on what he calls "who and what is really controlling the world" and "reptilians". He has written 16 books explaining his position, considered highly important by SRI because of their many corolations to biblical theology. Icke non the less has attracted a substantial following across the political spectrum paradoxically including many libertarian leaning americans drawn by his never ending contrarian positions which simultaneously attack both extremes of American and European politics. Icke first came to the public eye as a BBC television sports presenter and spokesman for the Green Party, but this "normal" life would begin to unravel after he met with a psychic in 1999 that told him that he was a healer placed on Earth for a purpose.
If one were to personality "type cast" David Icke I would guess he is an ENFP, the "Idealist Champion" . I have learned over the years that many extroverted highly intuitive people often walk a line between brilliance and madness. highly rational in their speech and systems of connecting massive amounts of information (conspiracies). but often finding themselves out on a limb because their decisions are generally based on "feelings". Icke truly went off on a limb early in his new-age career as a prophet championing many "end of world" scenarios being channeled to him by spirits etc.
As a Christian, one must squarely paint Icke as a "false prophet" and simply discount his every word? Yes and No. You see, unlike most false prophets seeking to control their followers, Icke is so Libertarian in his thought patterns that he was first to admit that that he was duped. There is a sincere honesty about his persona that keeps people interested no matter what off the wall subjects he may bring up. I just pray that some day he will realize that "those christians" he so vehemently attacked early in his career are often the most open minded people who are aware that there is "some truth" behind many of his conspiracies. truths that more often than not parallel biblical eschatology. After all a man named Paul from Tarsus came face to face with the Living Christ and turned from the church's #1 opponent to its top supporter and champion.

The world of fitness sees many ideas regarding proper macro-nutrient ratios. But just like the rest of a fitness regimen, macro-nutrient ratios must be tailored to an individual based on their body type, fitness goals and metabolic profile.
There are three body types all of which will respond differently to the same diet. Endomorphs are those who have a naturally slower metabolism so they store calories they consume easier than the others. These individuals are usually less tolerant of carbs, and so to see weight loss results they may need to reduce their carb intake. The carb calories lost can be replaced with protein. Ectomorphs are on the other end of the spectrum with a high metabolism. They seem to bun all calories they take in, and have a hard time gaining weight and muscle. These individuals have elevated carb tolerance so it might be best to add some extra fat to their diets. Whether those extra calories are borrowed from carbs or protein depends on the individual's workout habits and fitness goals. Mesomorphs are the genetically gifted individuals who seem to be able to use all their calories for building lean muscle further elevating their spectacular metabolism. These individuals should maintain a protein ratio enough to keep up with their fitness regimen, but where their other calories come from won't make much of a difference to mesomorphs.
An appropriate macro-nutrient ratio for an average endomorph trying to lose weight would be 35/45/20 (% carbs/protein/fat). Keep in mind their are good and bad foods in each macro-nutrient category. Ectomorphs trying to gain muscle would shoot for 30/45/25 or 35/40/25. Mesomorphs will want to keep their protein around 30-40% (or 1g/lb body weight) while their carbs will account for a higher percent and fat lower percent than protein.

text: There is no float bowl to drop, otherwise pretty good advice. The cover on the front of the carb is the cover of the fuel pump. Leave it alone, as it seems to be working. You likely have the fuel tank under the seat, or at least below the engine level, as the leaky inlet needle would have dumped a large amount of fuel into the crankcase. You do need to replace the inlet needle or float, but do not waste the money on a full carb kit, as you do not need it. You will need to get the airbreather and carb gasket., as these always tear. Go to Brigg's website and enter your engine's model numbers so you can see how the carb comes apart. E-mail me direct at email@example.com if you need any help. Fish

- Here are some of the issues men believe are problems when their wives earn more than them
- They range from ego issues to closed off emotions- a threat to their marriages
- Included are explanations of why these issues are not so much a problem but just a communication issue
We live in a society that is no longer dominated by men. Women are breaking the glass ceiling and achieving greater heights in their businesses and corporate careers.
With these achievements comes more money. Obviously.
However, this has proven to be a problem for some of their husbands who feel threatened in their marriages.
Below are some of the issues men perceive to be a problem when their wives earn more money:
READ ALSO: Wife decides to do the laundry for her husband. What she discovers is thrilling
Their friends will taunt them
Are some male adults still in primary school and women did not get the memo?!
Why would men taunt each other's egos if one of their women earned more money than they did?
You are probably complaining about a woman who has never thrown her paycheck in your face and has let society believe that you are God's gift to her.
So, men, why tear each other down over money?
Their wives become unapproachable and have a one-track mind
READ ALSO: 7 shocking facts you did not know about adultery!
Men are of the opinion that when women get their hands on money, their egos, alter-egos and their consciousness discover pride at one go.
They believe that she won't need a man because she can get herself all the things men promise them.
Men believe these women are too thick-skinned and closed off to emotions. Believe they are too focused on making money with no time for him or their family.
At this point, your woman is probably thinking years ahead. She's planning your retirement together, saving up for the family and the rainy days.
She has her fears about the future but is too shy to articulate it to her man whom she believes is not in touch with his emotions.
So, way to go, jumping to conclusions about your wife
READ ALSO: These things the modern girl should do on the first date! #4 is intriguing!
Their 'anointed' position becomes threatened
You will always be the head of the family...otherwise, the age old game would not have been named 'cha baba na cha mama'. Have you ever heard it said the other way round?
Men believe that when their women earn more, she then wears the pants in the house.
They claim she begins taking over the roles of the husband as he is relegated back to being on the receiving end instead of the provider.
While this might be the case in some marriages, not every woman is like this.
There are wealthy women who are naturally submissive and would never dare to rise above their husband's level. They are content with being a helper.
READ ALSO: 5 kinds of men Kenyan ladies need to date before they pick their significant other
And so what if she make more money than you? Wouldn't that mean you have a better financial cushion than marriages where the husband insists on being the breadwinner even though he is struggling at it?
You'd better get on your knees and thank God you do not have a woman who is always on you with "baby nipee..." and can instead compliment you with a "how can I help in this...".

"It is time for the Secret Service to focus on the mission of personal protection and not the physical security of the White House…"
It happened. The Secret Service, the very entity we trust to protect the President, failed again.
Let me first say that I have the utmost respect for the Secret Service officers that dedicate their very lives to the President's personal detail. These men and women put their lives on the line to protect the President and the First Family.
Over the course of my career in the military, law enforcement, and as part of high-risk security missions overseas in war zones, I have been involved in protecting both dignitaries and highly secure facilities. I protected nuclear installations and supervised security at high-value intelligence facilities with an entirely different set of protocols that are just as exacting.
The point is the continued breaches in the security and integrity of the White House under the watch of the Secret Service is completely unacceptable. Had my performance been this unsatisfactory, not only would I have lost my job, but I would be in jail. It is time to call the Secret Service to task and make an honest evaluation. It is time to take a different approach because what they have been doing as it pertains to the security and integrity of the White House is not working.
The following is the protection mission of the Secret Service as taken from their official website:
The Secret Service is world-renowned for the physical protection it provides to the nation's highest elected leaders and other government officials. Permanent protectees, such as the president and first lady, have details of special agents permanently assigned to them. Temporary protectees, such as candidates and foreign dignitaries, are staffed with special agents on temporary assignment from Secret Service field offices. All current and former presidents are entitled to lifetime Secret Service protection.
That all sounds well and good, but the simple fact is the Secret Service is plagued with failures, breaches in security, protocol, and even in the commitment of its personnel.
We all see the visible aspects of the Secret Service. We see the well-dressed presidential security detail in suits, ear pieces, and lapel pins. We all saw the stern and focused look of ultra-alert individuals scanning the crowds and walking along with the presidential party. It all looks excellent and official, and it is. The Secret Service Presidential Protective Division second to none. However, the Secret Service's track record in terms of protecting the physical security of the White House has been abysmal.
The problem they are having is called mission creep. This happens when the mission gets too diluted and strays away from what should be the primary and only task of protecting the President and the physical space surrounding him by means of his personal security detail.
In the last 10 years, there have been several glaring lapses in security, protocol and in some cases, just plain sloppiness. Here are some examples:
March 16, 2007 – Catalino Lucas Diaz was arrested after he scaled the perimeter fence with a package and threatened officers with a bomb.
June 9, 2009 – Pamela Morgan was arrested after jumping the perimeter fence onto the northeast corner of the grounds while carrying a backpack which contained nothing of importance inside.
June 9, 2013 – Joseph Clifford Reel was arrested after sending a driverless jeep speeding down Pennsylvania Avenue crashing into the gate as a diversion so he could spray paint the side of the White House. Joseph was eventually caught in the north courtyard and sentenced to 3 years in prison.
March 30, 2014 – An unidentified male was arrested after climbing over the perimeter fence.
September 11, 2014 – Jeffrey Grossman, 26, of Rensselaer, New York, was arrested after he scales the perimeter fence and entered the North Lawn while carrying a Pikachu doll and wearing a Pikachu hat. He was taken to George Washington University Hospital for a mental health evaluation.
September 19, 2014 – Omar Gonzalez jumped the perimeter fence from the Pennsylvania Avenue side of the White House and entered through the North Portico doors. Upon entering he overpowered a Secret Service officer and ran through most of the main floor before he was tackled by a counter-assault agent.
October 22, 2014 – Dominic Adesanya, formerly of Bel Air, Maryland, jumped the perimeter fence onto the north lawn and was quickly taken down by two security dogs whom which he punched and kicked before being arrested by the Secret Service. He was later ordered by a judge to a mental health facility. Adesanya, who had jumped the White House fence twice in July 2014, pleaded guilty to entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds and was sentenced in July 2015 to time served and one year of supervised release. Adesanya's lawyer said that he suffered from schizophrenia.
March 2, 2015 – An unidentified man dressed in a construction suit tried to enter the White House grounds through the gate on Pennsylvania Avenue near East Executive Avenue in the early morning. Uniformed Division officers stopped him and was taken into custody.
November 26, 2015 – Joseph Anthony Caputo, 22, of Stamford, Connecticut, was arrested by Secret Service agents almost immediately after jumping over a White House fence as the first family was inside celebrating Thanksgiving. In a plea agreement with prosecutors, Caputo pleaded guilty to one federal misdemeanor count of illegal entry of restricted grounds and was sentenced to three years' probation with various conditions.
May 20, 2016 – The 2016 White House shooting occurred when Jesse Olivieri attacked the White House security checkpoint. The Secret Service shot and arrested him. After the incident, Secret Service authorities closed the White House for 45 minutes and blocked nearby streets. Primary investigations revealed that it was not related to terrorism.
March 10, 2017 – A man carrying a backpack, later identified as Jonathan Tuan Tran, 26, of Milpitas, California, was arrested after jumping the White House perimeter fence and came within steps of the mansion. Court papers charged Tran with "entering or remaining in restricted grounds while using or carrying a dangerous weapon" and stated that he had two cans of mace in his possession at the time of the incident. He was free on the White House grounds for approx. 17 mins before being arrested.
Finally, last Friday, a Secret Service agent left her work-issued laptop, insignia, lapel pins, and other items in her car parked at her home. The car was burglarized, and the items were stolen. Let me ask a logical question: what law enforcement agent leaves their credentials and highly sensitive items unattended in a car parked at night in the driveway of an area that is known to have a burglary problem? It is unbelievable that a trained agent would make that mistake. I know I never left my weapons, IDs, or laptops in the car in an unsecured location. It just didn't happen; it would have been sloppy and careless.
Further to the above, and not a subject of this article, I am not even going to mention the lapses in judgement that have plagued the Secret Service to include alcohol scandals, prostitution scandals, and agents refusing to protect the President.
It is time for the Secret Service to focus on the mission of personal protection not the physical security of the White House. The White House should be one of the most secure locations in the world. There is no reason why these incidents keep happening. There is a solution.
The security of the White House — the physical security — must be turned over to a highly trained and specialized unit. Clear policies, rules of engagement and procedures must be meticulously followed and enforced by a cadre of professionals. Security team personnel must not be under the same protections as federal employees, and supervisors must be able to take actions when needed. The personnel of this security team must go through extensive background investigations. The task of protecting the President needs to be compartmentalized. Secret Service handles the personal protection missions, and the security team manages the physical integrity of the White House compound.
So, where do we find this security team? Where do we find those highly trained individuals that have the background checks, the physical acumen, and the sense of duty to take on this most important task?
The answer is easy and fits all boxes. Turn this mission over to the US Military. Highly skilled, hand-picked, physical security specialists. We have teams of these people in every branch. Nuclear security, flight line security, and high-risk security teams all have the background and with clear guidelines and mission specific training the security and safety of the White House would be insured.

Mom's Postpartum Body Goes Viral
Ringo | On 22, Jul 2015
A mother's body after giving birth is now going viral.
Julie Bhosale, a nutritionist from New Zealand shared several pictures of her body after a few months of giving birth to her second child. She bravely did this in order to tell everyone, specifically the women that there's no shame with such body despite it doesn't fit the expectation of the world.
"You too live in a world which judges you on how you look. Not how you feel. Not who you really are and what you have sacrificed…and continue to sacrifice," said Bhosale.
Bhosale also told stories about her struggles after giving birth, which is a total opposite of what she do before getting pregnant.
"I fought to conceive him. Put my body through assisted reproductive therapy. I was broken just (ha just!) carrying him to full term. Broken in ways I did not know my body could break," said Bhosale.
"I could barely walk. I was induced early just to get my son out as every day he was in me was another day I had to fight to keeping carrying him. Before I had children I would run marathons for fun…yes for fun – just wake up, find an event and run…I could barely walk to the letter box and I could not pick up my 2 year old," she added.
She also revealed that breastfeeding is also hard for her and because of that her self esteem was also taken from her.
Bhosale said having such body that is a total opposite of what the expect will put you in the pedestal where people will judge you. However, she said, focusing on yourself and your purpose will always make you feel better and look better.

(Critical Survey of Contemporary Fiction)
In Nicholas Shakespeare's Snowleg, the protagonist Peter Hithersay is driven by a need to discover his identity, both in terms of uncovering his heritage and in terms of recognizing who he is as a human being and man. His obsessions have two anchors. First, Peter learns on his sixteenth birthday that the man he has always called "Daddy" is not his actual father, and that instead he is the product of a one-night liaison his mother had with a dissident years earlier in Leipzig, East Germany. Peter's curiosity about his heritage grows until he decides to attend college in Hamburg.
The second pivot of Peter's life occurs when, as a college student, he accompanies a group of theater friends to a performance in East Germany. In an encounter that parallels the circumstances of his own origins, Peter meets and is soon intimate with a young woman he knows only by the nickname of "Snowleg." In youthful exuberance he boasts that he should rescue her from East Germany, but when he actually has the chance to help her, he pretends not to know her, causing her to run afoul of the frightening and sinister East German secret police. He is haunted for the rest of his life by these two mysteries: where does his past lie, and what kind of a man is he?
Twenty years will pass, but nothing he finds over the years will provide the answers he needs. As a medical school graduate planning on becoming a pediatrician, he soon spirals out of control through amphetamine abuse. Every relationship he enters into falls apart, and as he enters middle age he finds himself a caretaker of the elderly, a serial womanizer, a distant father to a son born from wedlock, and above all a man unable to find peace within himself. He will make one last trip to Leipzig in an attempt to put back the sundered pieces of his life.
Snowleg shows the danger of obsessions, how no betrayal stings as much as the betrayal of self, and the need for understanding. Most of all, it demonstrates the need of the human heart to forgive itself.

The much reported pre-Christmas 'fightback' by printed books in the UK sales war against their ebook darker side appears to have lasted just a week. If, that is, there ever was a fightback in the first place.
Just a week after The Bookseller reported printed book sales soaring to a three year high, it followed with another headline that printed book sales slumped in 2012 by £74m (£ paid content).
The first story had barely finished propagating through the various UK news when the second story followed.
It might seem like they would have cancelled each other out, but stories about the demise of the printed book carry an emotion for the reader that can't be easily calmed. Each story about printed and/or ebooks is a new opportunity for comments from readers about their attachment to the smell, feel, look of printed books, or their happy conversion to ebooks.
Before going on, it should be noted that there is a sameness to the wording of the media reports about the surge in printed book sales before Christmas. This seems to indicate that they came from the same original source, whatever that was. The reports in The Telegraph, The Guardian, and The Mirror , for instance, all quote the same book industry analyst.
The reports unleashed a flood of comments from readers of the "I'll go to my grave reading printed books" and "I just love the smell" type.
Fair enough, except the same comments appeared days later when the same papers reported that annual sales of printed books are in decline (See report by the BBC). Which only goes to show that how we experience books is a very emotional issue.
The data showing a decline in printed book sales was in line with reports from before Christmas. The data from the week before Christmas was, then, an anomaly.
So, what went on at Christmas?
Sales of traditional gift type books – for instance, Jamie Oliver's 15-minute Meals – was strong. Books like these don't translate well, yet anyway, into an ebook format. And you can't easily, yet anyway, give an ebook as a gift. (It really isn't easy to wrap an ebook, or even send one as an e-gift.) Once these issues have been resolved, Christmas will begin to look very different. (see Adam Junipers post on this at futurebook)
The story about the surge in printed book sales was a nice one. But it always pays to wait a week before breaking out the champagne. On the up side, it's always a great opportunity to add a comment about the feel, and the smell, and the typeface of a printed book.

His latest mistake totaled his car, destroyed a house and landed him in the hospital. Now his PR team is working overtime to salvage his image. One thing is clear—this is one predicament he won't escape without paying for it.
Dori Cantrell is a genuine humanitarian—the outward opposite of everything Reid is about. When his DUI plea bargain lands him under her community service supervision, she proves unimpressed with his status and indifferent to his proximity, and he soon wants nothing more than to knock her off of her pedestal and prove she's human.
Counting the days until his month of service is over, Dori struggles to ignore his wicked magnetic pull while shocking him with her ability to see past his celebrity and challenging him to see his own wasted potential. But Dori has secrets of her own, safely locked away until one night turns her entire world upside down. Suddenly their only hope for connection and redemption hinges on one choice: whether or not to have faith in each other.
With the exception of a few minor moments in the first two books Reid is completely unlikeable. He sleeps with any girl that even looks his way. He has no regard for anyone but himself. It was hard to imagine that he could ever change. But after the accident he gets a rude awakening and instead of doing a Lindsey Lohan and getting into more trouble he begins to turn it around bit by bit.
Dori was refreshing. She's not at all involved in the movie business and she's a fresh face to the series. I was a little frustrated with Dori at first because all that "perfection" stuff gets a bit old, but she's really not so perfect and has a secret of her own.
I didn't think I would like Good For You more than Where You Are because I loved Graham and Emma so much, but I did. Good For You was a much more emotional read than the other two books, it was the one that made me tear up and cry a little, a couple different times. The thing that happened was just so… difficult. I get why authors do things like that, but it doesn't mean I have to like it

In no particular order, I have set out five Christmas (aka Holiday) attractions if you're visiting British Columbia this festive season.
This is a very popular attraction in Vancouver's Stanley Park. Enjoy the train ride through the forest decorated with two million twinkling lights, and see the animated displays, listen to holiday sounds as you enjoy hot chocolate, fresh popcorn and roasted chestnuts.
The Peak of Christmas at Grouse Mountain
Meeting Santa on top of Grouse Mountain is a highlight of many a kids Christmas. Add the chance to ice skate and meet Santa's reindeer and you have a wonderful experience.
Magic of Christmas at Butchart Gardens, Victoria
These beautiful gardens are transformed with thousands of lights and Christmas displays. The outdoor skating rink is another attraction at this time of year.
Van Dusen Festival of Lights
One of Vancouver's best gardens hosts this festival of lights. Santa is there, of course, but also the elves and a ginger bread walk. Lots to eat and enjoy.
An outdoor market, with a traditional German theme. Wander around and enjoy the displays of lights, ornaments, gifts and food.
Other attractions
I have not mentioned all the great outdoor activities that continue throughout the winter. Whistler, Big White, Mount Washington, and all our other ski resorts are great ways to spend the holiday season. Many people love to go skiing on Christmas Day!

International adoption: I was stolen from my family
Editor's note: Tarikuwa Lemma, 19, was "adopted" from Ethiopia seven years ago by a U.S. family along with her two younger sisters after being deceived that they were headed to America on a study trip. She now lives in Maine and has just entered college with the goal of becoming a human rights advocate.
(CNN) -- When I was 13, I was sold.
Friends of my father worked for a corrupt adoption agency operating in my homeland of Ethiopia -- friends my father trusted. In 2006 they coerced him into believing he was sending my younger sisters and me to America for an educational program during which we would come home every summer and on school breaks.
Little did my father know that his "friends" were being paid to recruit children for an American adoption agency. In fact, he didn't even know what "adoption" meant. Instead of an educational program, we found ourselves caught up in an international adoption scandal.
We weren't the only ones lied to. The family who adopted us, who lived in the southwestern United States, were told that they were taking into their family three AIDS orphans, the oldest of whom was nine years old. The truth was that our mother had died from complications during childbirth, and our father was alive and well. Instead of nine, I was 13 years old; my sisters were 11 and six.
Our new "parents" changed our names and told us we could no longer speak to each other in our own languages; we were punished if we disobeyed. Eventually, we forgot how to speak our native languages, Amarigna and Wolaytta.
I was so young and naïve. I actually believed that if I ran away, I could walk back to Ethiopia. I wanted to escape from the people I felt had kidnapped us from our homeland, our culture, and our family. I was angry, hurt and grieving.

text: This is the one!! Welcome to Pin Oaks off of Perkins. Located on a very quiet cul de sac of only a handful of homes, this one stands out from the rest with its beautiful trees in the back yard. Invite your guests through the double door entry to the foyer with its soaring ceiling and turning staircase. The formal living room is to the left and opens to the dining room to the rear of the home. Enjoy holiday dinners overlooking the back yard. The kitchen boasts a working island and lots of cabinet and counter space. Your morning coffee will be very calming as you look out over the yard or escape to the patio through the double glass doors. The adjacent family room boasts a fireplace and allows for everyone in both rooms to stay connected. Watch TV or enjoy the fireplace while making sure they're studying on the other side of the French door in the "homework den." Upstairs, you'll find a huge master suite with a walk-in closet that doubles as a dressing room, it's so large. Soak your cares away in the corner tub in the en-suite bath. Double vanities and a walk-in shower complete the bath. You'll discover three more bedrooms each with ample closet space and the second full bathroom at the other end of the hall. Downstairs, the basement has been fully finished and boasts extra high ceilings and lots of space. The laundry room is also here along with storage space. Make this home yours in time to enjoy the end of summer in the park-like back yard. The mature trees create plenty of shade and really make this back yard special. In the fall, the changing colors are simply stellar. The oversized side-entry, 2 car garage really makes the front of the house even prettier. Make your appointment today to tour this great property. But be prepared to start calling it "Home."

I don't respond well to men making statements about my body. That's not the point of my work. So don't think you're gonna get some cute flirty response back if you compliment my figure. Really, it's just sad that you would think that's the only way you can talk to a female.
What impresses me is if you have something intelligent to say about my work.
Second, and most important of all, I use models for the majority of my photography work, and I don't understand why you'd automatically assume that I, the artist, am the model when there is a multitude of women in my gallery. But perhaps you didn't take the time to look.

Series 5 of The Sarah Jane Adventures aired on CBBC in 2011.
On 4 March 2010, the BBC announced that it had officially commissioned both a fourth and fifth series of the spin-off.[1] Part of the series was planned to film in 2010 alongside Series 4[2] and it was later announced that half the series had been completed as planned.[3] With the death of Elisabeth Sladen in April 2011[4], the BBC announced that no new episodes will be made[5]. Three stories (six episodes) of series 5 were completed[6]. The final episodes aired between 3 October 2011 and 18 October 2011.
Three stories, however, were left unproduced: Meet Mr Smith, The Thirteenth Floor, The Battle for Bannerman Road.
Also planned, but unproduced, were four Halloween specials: Full Moon, The Station, an unnamed story and Night of the Spectre. (DWMSE 32)

Meet Peter Facinelli's new girl: Jaimie Alexander
Meet Jaimie Alexander, Peter Facinelli's new girl! The 28-year-old actress was holding the "Twilight" actor's hand at the "Breaking Dawn – Part 2" premiere. Recently separated Peter Facinelli walked on the Red Carpet at "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2" premiere in New York City, with a new female companion. His new flame is actress Jaimie Alexander, who shared the spotlight with Facinelli in several episodes of "Nurse Jackie". They also collaborated on the film "Loosies". At the event, which took place last week, Facinelli posed with co-stars Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene, while Alexander was waiting for him, quietly. The couple didn't parade their romance in front of the cameras, but when they weren't photographed, they were holding hands and kissing discretely. Peter Facinelli, 38, is in the process of divorcing his wife, "Beverly Hills 90210" star Jennie Garth, 40. The two married in 2001 and have three daughters: Luca, Lola and Fiona. And while her soon-to-be-ex-husband debuts a new belle, Garth isn't wasting time either, in this chapter. She has been seen hanging out with several men, among which photographer Noah Abram and television host Antonio Ballatore. Despite their love life going on different paths, both Garth and Facinelli remain deeply committed to their children....Read More

There's this guy who's my family friend. I really wanna start talking to him and see where things go. He's 23 and I'm 18 but I don't think age matters. Every time we meet at family gatherings he's always super nice and flirty and playfully touchy and he always compliments me on the way I look. I tried messaging him on Facebook but he never replied): I don't see him every weekend even tho I wish I did. I'm friends with one of his college friends. Anyway how can I start talking to him and hanging out with him more just the two of us?
How can I talk to him more?

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.
Attitude, to me, is… more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do…
The remarkable thing is that we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace.
We cannot change our past… we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable.
The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.
I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it.

I was just getting into my GorTex rain gear for my morning walk when my neighbor called to tell me her foot was hurting and she couldn't accompany me. I don't usually walk alone in the neighborhood because of some past encounters with dogs, but decided to be brave, as I'd missed too many days recently. So I headed out. As I got to the end of our dirt road I could hear the ocean two miles away and had a thought. Why don't I grab my camera and get my exercise while doing two things I love to do – walk along the beach and take pictures?
So that's what I did, and here are some of the results.

Title: No Living in the Past (10/10)
Author: Allaine
Rating: PG-13
Spoilers: Takes place after "Green, Black, and Blue". Ignores the events of "Go Team Go".
Feedback: Some of you have been extremely helpful, and I hope you'll continue to do so. New reader opinions are encouraged too!
Disclaimers: Kim Possible, Ron Stoppable, Shego, Wade, and all other characters from the Kim Possible television series belong to Disney, its television production arm, and the creators and producers of the animated series. All original characters are my invention. I seek no profit from writing this, and expect none.
Summary: When Professor Dementor's trail leads Kim, Shego, and Ron to Boston, they encounter the LAST two people any of them, especially Kim, wanted to see.
Chapter 10
"So how's O-business?" Ron asked as Rufus attempted to inhale a naco.
"O-business is fine," Monique replied. "O-business" was of course a coded reference to her late-night activities, fighting local criminals dressed in black and calling herself "Oryx". Thankfully, the newspapers seemed to finally understand that she wasn't "Onyx". All right, so no one knew she was African-American, but still, it was like being called "Ebony".
"Kim still seems to think it's too danger . . . uh, Ron, I know you said you didn't want to talk about her, but if you're going to make that face every time her name comes up, I don't think it's a subject we can really avoid," Monique said as a spasm seemed to cross Ron's face at the mention of Kim Possible.
And if he was still that mad at Kim, then it probably was a good idea she hadn't mentioned that O-business had included a fighting lesson from Shego yesterday.
"I can avoid it just fine. Isn't that right, Rufus?"
The mole rat looked up at Ron doubtfully. "Huh?" he asked. The expression on the rodent's face suggested he thought Ron was joking.
Ron sighed. "I just can't believe she had so little faith in me," he said.
"Come on, Ron," Monique said. "It's not like telling you she's changing her major or something. This is as big as big gets."
"Are you honestly trying to tell me that she was justified in not telling me?" Ron asked angrily.
Monique looked at him. "No," she said. "She was wrong."
"Thank you."
"But you know, Ron, I realize that you're nowhere near as dumb as some people think you are, but lately your head has really been full of rocks, hasn't it?" Monique said, exasperated.
"Oh sure, you're not mad. She told you," Ron muttered.
Monique put her hand over her eyes. "You know what, Ron? If she'd spoken to me first, she would have lied to me, too. It was lying to you that did it. That's what broke the camel's back. Keeping this from you just about tore her up inside."
Ron shrugged. "Good."
She resisted the urge to bang her head on the table. "Hello? Is anybody home? This is not about YOU, Ron! This is about her! This is about her life getting turned completely upside-down over the past month, and she has no idea what she's going to do next, and she doubts herself every minute of the day!"
For the first time, Ron looked hesitant. "You think?"
"Do I think? Snap out of it, Ron! A couple months ago she was a normal college student. Since then she was a fugitive for a month from a family of 'heroes' who turned out to be wackjobs that tried to kill her and then kidnapped her mother. Then she realizes she's got feelings for another woman who was her sworn enemy for years. And then she's outed in the worst way possible - on the Internet, no less! Add to that she has no idea what she's going to do with college, her career, her life - and her parents!" Monique jabbed a finger close to his face. "Do you realize that Kim is telling her parents TODAY about Shego? Can you possibly imagine how terrified she is of what they'll say to her?"
"Monique - "
"No, don't you Monique me! I may complain about how she feels about me and what I do after midnight, but that doesn't change how much I love her. And no, not THAT kind of love. I mean the kind of love that I thought you felt for her. Kim's internal compass must be fried by now, she's been spun around so many times, and she still manages to fly across the country and save the world yet again. I admire her so much, Ron," Monique said, her voice dropping. "Yeah, I was angry for a minute or two, but I got over it. Now how about you get over it too? How about you do what you do best - you support her. Because Kim has the world on her shoulders, and it must feel heavier than ever. She's got me, she's got Wade - I know you hate it, but she's got Shego. But it's not enough. I spoke to her yesterday, and she'd devastated without her best friend. Not to mention that she's twice as scared as before that her parents will cut her off the way you - "
"All right!" Ron shouted at her, standing up.
The entire Bueno Nacho restaurant quieted as everyone looked at him.
"Uh, sorry," he said, waving a hand as he slipped back into his seat. "I can't forget this, Monique. What she did."
She put her hand on his. "I think she'd settle for forgiving right now."
Ron closed his eyes and sighed.
Kim's parents looked at her, then at Shego, who sat next to Kim. She was beginning to lose feeling in her wrist, because Kim had it in a death grip. "Uh, Kimmie? My blood needs to circulate?"
"Oh," Kim said, letting go. The look she gave Shego said, quite clearly, "Don't Go Anywhere". Kim had insisted that Shego be with her when she told her parents the truth. Shego would have preferred to lurk in the corner, knowing she was completely out of her depth here. Family drama? Emotional turmoil? Hello? Not her.
That hadn't mattered to Kim. She'd practically dragged Shego to the couch and hadn't let go throughout the entire speech to her parents.
Seeing how the past few days had turned this fierce young woman into a frightened, blubbering mess, an appalled Shego was glad she didn't have a family. Of course, if she was with Kim long enough, then the Possibles would become her family too, wouldn't they? Maybe one day she'd care about them almost as much as Kim did.
The idea worried her.
"Well," Dr. Possible finally said as his eyes settled once again on Kim. Her eyes didn't even blink in response. "You're dating Shego here."
"A girl. Not a boy."
She nodded.
"And you don't plan on dating any boys in the near future."
Dr. Possible glanced at his wife, who still appeared a little stunned. "Well, if this means I don't have to worry about you chasing any boys, that's good enough for me."
Kim stared at him, open-mouthed. Shego resisted the urge to roll her eyes. Mrs. Dr. Possible had no reaction.
Kim's father smiled at her. "Was there anything else, Kim?"
She flew off the couch and wrapped her arms around her father. "Thanks, Dad," she mumbled into his shirt.
"Don't mention it, sweetie," he assured her as he patted her hair. "Honey? You have anything you'd like to add?"
Kim's mother finally looked up. "Er, yes, could you give us a minute, dear?" she asked quietly.
Kim turned to look fearfully at her mother.
"Sure thing," he said jovially. He moved out of Kim's embrace and casually headed upstairs.
"Your father," Mrs. Dr. Possible sighed. "Sometimes he's so unaware of the world outside his lab."
"Sorry about this," Kim said.
"It's a bit of a shock," her mother said, laughing weakly.
"You always said - "
"I know, Kim, I know. But this . . . isn't exactly what I had in mind." She looked down. "We're both modern women, you and I, but I still looked forward to the day I'd help plan your wedding. And then there'd be your first child, of course." She sighed. "You risk your life all the time, Kim, but the promise of those days never seemed so faint as it does now."
Kim held her breath for a moment. "Mom? Am I still - your daughter?" she whispered.
Her mother seemed to look through her for a few seconds before she shook her head. The movement suggested a negative response to Kim, and she felt a stab of ice in her heart.
Then Mrs. Dr. Possible really looked into her eyes. "Oh, Kim, you know you'll never stop being my daughter. I love you no matter who you are."
Kim's head dropped and a tear landed on the sofa cushion.
"Come here, Kim," her mother said, opening her arms.
Slowly Kim sank into her mother's arms and held her tightly. There were no more words for a minute, as Shego watched them rock.
She'd never had anything in her life, Shego realized, that she'd been so afraid of losing.
Except maybe Kim.
For the first time, she considered the notion that Kim's family wasn't just a liability.
"It's just going to take some - adjusting," Kim's mother finally said.
"Yeah, lot of that going around," Kim said as she sat up and rubbed her arm across her eyes.
Mrs. Dr. Possible seemed to remember Shego was sitting quietly nearby. "Do you want to contribute anything to the discussion, Shego?" she asked.
"Um . . ."
"I assume you have only the best of intentions for my daughter?"
Shego detected the edge to the older woman's voice. "I'm not here to hurt her," she said. "Seems like she's the only person who knows me for who I am."
"Very well," Mrs. Dr. Possible replied. "You're both adults, and your father and I have no right to give your orders any more, Kim, but I would appreciate a candid response. Have you and Shego, well - has this become an intimate relationship?"
Shego's eyes widened, and Kim coughed. "Um, no, Mom. We haven't done anything like that yet. But - it certainly could happen in the future."
"I see."
"There's one other thing, Mom," Kim added. "The reason I'm telling you all this now? Remember Bonnie Rockwaller?"
"She was in your graduating class," Mrs. Dr. Possible recalled.
"Well, she got wind of our relationship, and she basically emailed our whole class about it."
"Why that - that's horrible, Kim," her mother said, outraged.
"Yeah, I know. But that means it's just going to get more and more public over time," Kim pointed out. "And you might be hearing it from other people. I just want you to be prepared for, you know, embarrassment."
Her mother sighed. "I've never been ashamed of you, Kim, and I'm not going to start now."
Kim turned red. "Thanks."
"Well, if there's nothing else, I have to make a phone call or two," Mrs. Dr. Possible said as she stood up slowly.
"Oh, right. Thanks, Mom."
Kim's mother looked at Shego. "My husband and I expect you to treat our daughter - "
"I'll be good," Shego said, crossing her fingers.
"Yeah, you really meant that," Kim said, grinning.
Mrs. Dr. Possible went into her study and closed the door. She picked up the phone and hit the speed-dial. "Hello, Betty?" she asked when the connection was made. "Think I could come over and talk? I've had quite a day today."
Meanwhile, Kim and Shego had made their way out the front door. "That could have been a lot worse," Shego observed.
"It could," Kim agreed. She looked at her hands and realized they were trembling. She shoved them into her pockets. "I could be moving in with you right now."
"Not sure why I should see that as worse, but I get your meaning," Shego said.
Kim didn't respond when she saw Ron's car pull in front of the house.
Shego saw the car a moment later. "If he's here to start another fight," she said angrily.
"Shh," Kim said.
"KP," Ron said as he came over. He glanced at Shego. "Shego," he mumbled.
"Hey, Ron," Kim answered.
"Monique told me you were going to tell your parents," Ron said. "How'd that go?"
Kim smiled tentatively. "Better than I expected. Dad's just happy I'm not interested in boys now. Mom's still dealing with it - she's probably talking to Dr. Director as we speak - but I think we're going to be okay."
Ron nodded. "Good to hear. Look, Kim, what happened between us, I'm not sure I can forget that any time soon."
"I understand, Ron," she said softly.
"But . . . I'm willing to try and forgive," he added gently. "If you promise not to do something like that again."
Kim stared at him. "I promise," she managed to say.
"Good. And don't expect me and Shego to be shiny happy people with each other, either."
"I expected nothing of the kind," Shego said, snorting.
Kim came forward and carefully put her arms around Ron's neck. "Thanks," she said in his ear.
"You're welcome," he answered, patting her on the back.
"I'm not going to cry this time," Kim said, laughing quietly. "Because today is a good day."
"Scene of the crime," Shego said.
"When I was assaulted by a mystery dancer," Kim replied, smiling.
"You certainly seemed like a consenting adult when you put your arms around my neck."
"It was instinctive. I was trying to strangle you."
It was a Saturday night, three days after the drama at Kim's house, and Kim and Shego were on a date, just the two of them. They sat within the dark shadows that seemed to hug the walls of the Planetarium. Shego's arm was around Kim's back, and Kim's hand was on Shego's knee.
"You do realize," Kim said, "that this is an establishment frequented by crime-fighters. They say the Oryx was spotted here."
"I thought it was spelled with an 'n'," Shego said.
"Oh, don't ever say that in front of her," Kim chuckled.
"So what, you're saying I should be somehow frightened?" Shego asked. "A career criminal like me?"
Kim smiled. "I think you should be terrified. Because there's all sorts of things I could do to you."
"You wish."
"You'd probably even let me," Kim said as she breathed into Shego's ear.
The other woman squirmed. "I think pleasure is sweeter when you have to fight for it," she said.
"Well, we could fight our way onto the dance floor," Kim suggested.
"Through that throng? I'd rather fight Killagan and Monkey Fist together."
"We'll find them," Kim said seriously.
"Of course," Shego said, surprised. "And we'll kick their rears. Why worry about it?"
Kim nodded. "Why indeed? Want a drink?"
"No, I think I want you right here. At least until our song begins."
"I don't think I want to fight you on that one," Kim said.
"Well, in that case, maybe I won't fight so hard if you want to come inside when we go back to my apartment later," Shego purred. "I might even invite you in."
Kim shivered, and she turned her head to look at Shego. Words failed her as she took in the tight leather pants and the revealing green top. So she kissed her instead.
Summer vacation had arrived way too late, but it was still going to be great.
"Aaaaaugghhh!!!! Ooof!"
There was a flash of light and a crackle of energy in the air as the dark form hit the pavement with a thud. She rolled over onto her back. "Ooooo," she moaned in pain.
A few minutes later, she staggered to her feet. She looked up into the sky but saw only darkness.
"When I get back up there, she is so dead!" she growled as she staggered through the alley.
But when she got to the main street, she stopped and stared. She looked at the restaurants and the shops and the happy people in every direction.
Shego leaned against the wall and ran her fingers through her white-streaked hair. "This doesn't look anything like Shegoton," she hissed.
The End. (To be continued in But For the Grace of Ron!)

Sandy spent the last three nights in the ancient high back armchair next to her mother's bed. Sandy's vigil was taking a significant toll on her on many levels. I met her on the morning of the fourth day. It looked like Sandy was holding her breath in-between inhalations. Sandy's furrowed brow, rigid posture and the bloodshot sorrow in her eyes told her story.
It was clear to me that this was her mother's last day of life. When I told Sandy this, tears poured down her face as she chewed off the last bit of her fingernails on her right hand. She hopelessly sobbed, "My mother is my best friend, what will I do without her? She is the person who helps me through difficult times in my life. I have nobody to turn to."
In that moment, it would have been pointless to offer suggestions on how to find meaning in her life after her mother died.
My response was, "Tell me about your mother." As her sweet stories unfolded I saw Sandy's shoulders relax, her breathing changed and the furrow of her brow unraveled a little. Then it was my mission to make Sandy chuckle. We both laughed at how Sandy and her mother would tape paper plates to the bottoms of their feet and play "ice skater" in their kitchen.
Storytelling is powerful medicine for grief.

Bella Calla has waited a while to express our opinion publicly about this topic. To be perfectly honest, we were hoping that the idiots who were dealing with this socially and politically would just deal with this logically and not require the thinkers among us to be involved.
Unfortunately, that is taking a long time. We believe that LOVE, no matter who it is between, is AWESOME, and all too rare. To quote Keith Olbermann, previously of MSNBC, everyone is deserving of love. This isn't about politics or religion. What is it to you? These people who are in favor of marriage equality want what you want. They want a chance to be a little less alone in the world.
How is it anyone's responsibility or place to judge another's choice in partner? Another's choice in matrimony? It isn't. Take care of you. Your hope. Your happiness. Anyone else's happiness is absolutely theirs. They are not asking for the acceptance of your church. If your church doesn't respect or authorize their union, so be it. They are asking for the same respect and authorization of our SECULAR government. Our government divides church and state. This division includes marriage.
Marriage is and should be about two people committing themselves to each other permanently. "The" church is not the legal recognizing party of that union in Colorado, or in MOST other states. The government, who is separated from religious matters, is. Defining marriage should be simple. If two (or more) people want to enter into a legal contract that says they are financially and legally one unit (married)... Who should be able to judge that contract? Who should judge the legality and the validity of that contract under the law? The judicial branch of the government. By definition, aren't they they people we've decided can "judge" these matters? Not the clergy?
in 1967 16 states had laws on the books that interracial marriage was not recognized. President Obama's parent's could not have married in 1/3 of our US. The country he grew up to lead. (see previous reference)
The people asking for equality are not asking the opponents of gay marriage for acceptance, nor are they asking for church and religious acceptance. They are asking for civil rights. Just as the women of the 20s did, just as the blacks of the 50s and 60s did. We look back on those movements and say to ourselves now.... DUH. Of course those people are people and citizens.. they deserve the rights and liberties that the government grants the men and the whites among us. What the hell makes you think this is ANY different?
This isn't about you or me. This isn't about one union or the other. This is about LOVE. To quote KO again... "with so much hate in the world, and so much division... this is what your religion tells you to do? this is what your conscious tells you to do?... You want to sanctify marriage and the honor your GOD and the universal love you believe he represents? THEN SPREAD HAPPINESS."
Forget political semantics. You are (hopefully) happy in your life. You've (hopefully) found love. If you haven't, don't you prefer a society and a political climate that allows you the best chance of finding and securing that love for a lifetime?
You can quote whatever translated language you'd like from your chosen religious texts. I'll simply say back to you, as a non-religious person... "do unto others as you would have others do unto you."
I have heard the argument that the allowance of gay marriage will weaken the institution of marriage. I have yet heard an argument that proves this, or even leans toward it.
According to www.marriageequality.org, the number of divorces and marriage dissolutions is double for heterosexual marriage than for same sex marriage. The only thing threatening YOUR marriage is you and your partner, as those two people are the only people involved in that relationship. Whether your neighbor is a slut, a lesbian, a male stripper, or a witch, your marriage is your OWN. Get over other peoples' lives and live your own.
All of that being said... we welcome all gay marriages, hetero marriages, and any other celebrations of love you may have, as it is NOT our place to say what should make you happy, it is our job to make your celebration pretty. Love on, y'all!
If you have comments. please don't hesitate. I'll respond to all. If you'd like to know about the vendors in the weddings in the photos, email me as well.
You can call 303.995.2867 or email email@example.com

That is WAYYYYYYYYYY cheaper than sedgehammer and dismiss and the results started showing up about 3 to 4 days after application. I used MSO along with the basagran. Just thought I would share these results. I know most people do not use basagran and instead spend way too much on other products. Just trying to save you guys some money and still get good to excellent results.

Tulip Trot 5K set for May 24
BRATTLEBORO -- This year's Green Street School Tulip Trot 5K Run/Walk and .5 mile Sprout Run will take place on Saturday, May 24.
The second annual event is a family-friendly run and fitness walk that starts and ends at Green Street School. The route is 3.1 miles of road and wooded trails that winds through neighborhood streets before entering scenic Retreat Trails at the base of Brattleboro's famous ski jump. Younger children can enjoy a half-mile Lil Sprout Run around the school's campus.
The race registration will take place on May 24 from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. The half-mile Sprout Run will begin at 9:30 a.m. The 5K run/walk will start at 10 a.m.
The race will be held rain or shine. There will be a water stop along the course. Participants are asked not to bring dogs along with them.
After the race, there will be music, refreshments, a raffle and fun times. There will also be awards, with medals going to all school-age kids that enter the Sprout Run or 5K. The school restrooms will be available. And there is a playground on the premise for supervised children.
Participants entered by May 17 are guaranteed a race T-shirt. The first 50 registrants on race day will all get a free T-shirt.
The 5k event is sponsored by the Green Street School Parent Teacher Organization. The PTO is committed to promoting a healthy community while supporting wellness and fitness programs. The 5K is the culminating event to an eight-week long running and fitness program designed to promote healthy habits and encourage kids to get out, exercise and maintain a fun and healthy fitness routine. The event promises to be fun-filled while raising much needed funds to support the school's fitness and enrichment programs.
There are currently 26 students in the running club.
All proceeds go directly to the GSS Winter Sports program, the GSS Run Club and other PTO sponsored enrichment programs. The Tulip Trot is organized by a dedicated group of volunteers and could not happen without the generous donations from community businesses and sponsors. To donate, volunteer or be a race sponsor for this year's event, call 802-254-3737.
You can sign up to volunteer and also register on the event website: www.tuliptrot5k.com.

On 11 January 2016, the Government announced proposed changes to the fees for visas, immigration and nationality applications and associated premium services for 2016-17.
The proposed fee changes are likely to apply from 6 April 2016. With these changes, the Government intends to reduce taxpayer contributions towards the Border, Immigration and Citizenship system and ensure that by 2019-20 the system is self-funded by those who access services.
The main changes are:
- Citizenship and settlement applications will be subject to a 25% increase
- Visitor, work (including Tier 2 and Tier 1 categories) and student visa applications will be restricted to a 2% increase
- Targeted increases to optional premium services. This would include an increase in fees for super-premium and premium services overseas and also the same day premium service and priority postal service within the UK.
In addition to the above, the Government has proposed some new fee categories. These include the following:
Fee category/2016-17 proposed fee
- Electronic visa waiver (currently open to Oman, Qatar and United Arab Emirates passport holders) - £15
- Administration of Secure English language Testing (SELT) - £200
- Processing of an application or claim which is subsequently rejected as invalid - £25
- Out of hours premium service appointments - £63
The Government has also proposed to introduce a three month trial of the 'Premium Sponsor Scheme' for Tier 2 and Tier 5 sponsors. The fee for this trial will be £6,250 for a large sponsor and £2,000 for a small sponsor. There will be no other changes to fees for sponsorship categories.
The full proposed fee table can be found on the UKVI website.

People who live in 'no cold calling zones' or who display signs saying no to cold callers, will no longer be bothered by doorstep energy salesmen.
The 'big six' energy suppliers – British Gas, Eon, Scottish and Southern Energy, EDF, Npower and Scottish Power – claim they are now committed to respecting the wishes of consumers who say no to cold callers.
Evidence has shown that it has been previously routine practice for energy agents to ignore householders' requests not to be disturbed by cold callers – even when they live in recognised 'no cold calling zones' or display 'no cold caller' signs.
The energy suppliers' promise follows campaigning by energy watchdog Consumer Focus and the Trading Standards Institute (TSI). To find out what Which? believes still need to be done to clean up the energy industry, visit our energy campaigns page.
'A victory for common sense'
Which? campaigns manager Clare Corbett commented: 'This is good news for consumers who have made it clear they don't want to be badgered on their own doorstep. However, Energy suppliers shouldn't need to be told that no means no.'
Consumer Focus' energy expert Audrey Gallacher added: 'This is a victory for common sense'. She said that whether people display a sticker saying they live in a 'no cold calling zone' or scribble a hand-written note and stick it in their window, energy companies should now respect their wishes.
Gallacher advised: 'Energy firms should stick to their promise, but if people continue to get cold calls from salespeople, they should contact Consumer Direct (on 0845 4040 506) and complain to the company in question.'
Cheapest tariffs to be found online
In 2008, Ofgem found that just under half of consumers who switched energy supplier as a result of direct sales ended up on a worse deal. This research led to new rules that mean that anyone signing up to a new deal on their doorstep must receive a price comparison proving the new deal is cheaper than their old one.
However, doorstep energy salespeople are under no obligation to tell you the very cheapest deal available to you. So you should always do your own energy comparison, using a Consumer Focus accredited site like Which? Switch to find out the cheapest deals available to you.
Lower your gas and electricity bills
You can compare energy prices and switch to a new gas and electricity supplier on Which? Switch. People who switched with us between 1 October and 31 December 2013 are predicted to save an average of £234 a year on their bills.
