Motherhood has introduced me to seasons in a way I never experienced before. Living on the east coast my entire life, I've seen more than thirty springs, summers, falls, and winters. The seasons change according to the plan God set in place long before creation, and yet somehow the shift still surprises me.
I looked out our front window last week to see our maple tree shining brilliant orange in the late afternoon sun. A few windy days later and now those branches that moments ago shone gloriously are bare, save a few leaves holding on stubbornly.
I'm entering into year three of motherhood, a season that is shaping up to be our most challenging yet. God has given us the gift of a strong-willed, independent daughter who will do incredible work for His kingdom. Which I remind myself during extended time-outs and fights over naptime and which shoes to are appropriate to wear to daycare.
As I refill my coffee, I pause to watch the farmer behind our home prepare his fields for winter, and God whispers a vision of seasons of motherhood – and life – into my heart. There will be times to plant, times to wait in the quiet, times to grow, and times to harvest. In each one, if we pause to look for it, we'll see God's masterful hand at work, preparing us for the season to come.
We can't have a harvest if we don't take the time to first plant the seeds.
We can't experience the joy of growth without first having a time of quiet, to let roots sink deep and hold firm.
We can't start planting before we've first celebrated the first harvest and laid the ground bare to prepare the way.
Whatever season you're in, know that God has you there for a reason. To prepare your heart for what's to come next. To strengthen you and develop the gifts and skills you'll need to do even more glorious work for His kingdom. If motherhood feels like constant pouring into and never seeing results – know that it's a time of planting, and God will take care of what you're so carefully stewarding.
If motherhood feels quiet, like a restless waiting, an anticipation of what comes next without a clear vision, know that God sees your next season. Take time to dig into His Word, grow roots, and be nourished. Maybe you feel like God is calling you to lay down some idols you've held on to for far too long – like those leaves hanging on for just one more day of glory instead of falling to make room for what's next, or maybe He's asking you for a step of faith – in your season of growth, trust that God knows where He's taking you, and live obediently so that you might produce the kind of fruit that glorifies Christ.
And sometimes we get a glimpse of the harvest. The gathering of all that has been done in and through us and we see a tiny piece of the impact we've had on someone else's life. Celebrate! God has done a good work, let's give Him thanks!
Whatever season you're in, savor it. Seek God in it. And give Him thanks.

Pasta Bowls in ceramic, cappuccino glaze with a matte finish, set of 4
Pasta Bowls in ceramic, cappuccino glaze with a matte finish, set of 4
Pasta bowl rustic bowl cappuccino matte - set of 4
This is a unique set of 4 pasta bowls/ plates. The color of this set is Cappuccino and it is a matte rough glaze, almost like eating from a plate carved out of stone. The clay body was a very dark chocolate color clay, almost a black porcelain.
Each plate is different and they have a texture on the bottom. They are modern looking and eating from them transports you to Tuscany in Italia!! They measure about 10" and are about 2" deep, perfect for pasta or a rice dish, like risotto. I love to serve my Moqueca (a Brazilian fish stew made with coconut milk). It's also good for soups.
They are food safe, dishwasher and microwave safe. All my glazes are lead-free and non-toxic.
They make a great wedding gift as well. All signed in the back.
It's a luxury and a pleasure to eat from a handmade plate! And the food tastes much better! This set is made to order. Please allow 4-6 weeks for shipping! Thank you so much for visiting my ceramic shop! I have other great wedding gifts ideas!
This bowls can also be glazed in off-white.
I would love to help you with your wedding registry and make this awesome and unique pasta bowls for you!

Choosing the right sleeping bag for your baby or toddler:
Factors to consider.
Trying to decide which sleeping bag or sleep sack is right for your baby can be hard.
The main factors to consider here are: Size, tog rating or warmth, sleepwear combinations, zip position, fabric & filling types & need for a buggy slot.
We have dozens of options to choose from in our range. Use the guides and videos below to narrow down the options to the one which will suit your baby's needs best.
The video shown here gives an good introduction in to what to look for in a good quality sleeping bag and which factors to weigh up when choosing one. This video focuses mainly on winter weight sleeping bags which are ideal for the colder times of the year. We also have a link below to our mid-weight sleeping bag video if you are interested in sleeping bags for the rest of the year. Both videos give a good overview of the brands that we offer and many of the differences between them.
Read on for further info plus you can use the links on the Sleeping Bag department page for more sleeping bag guides and related sleep articles.
Our Top Sleeping Bag Styles
- - Please choose the right size for your baby now, not for the future.
- - While it may seem better value to buy something she will 'grow into', you risk buying something that is not safe now. With a sleeping bag that is too big, your baby may slide round inside it or slip down inside the neck.
- - Generally sleeping bags & sleep sacks are available in 0-6 months, 6-18 months and 18-36 months. Most merino bags are available in newborn-2 years and 2-4 years.
- - grobag have supplied information on sizing - click here.
- - Woolbabe 2-4 year size bags are generally suitable from approx 12kg and your child should be comfortably wearing size 2 clothing.
- - Remember to measure your child from shoulders to feet.
Tog rating & warmth:
- - Merino bags are not tog rated, as they are natural fibre which adjusts according to temperature.
- - Our woolbabe bags have the widest temperature range - the 3-seasons bag can be used for rooms 18-28 degrees, duvet weight bag can be used 14 to 22 degrees.
- - Many sleeping bags use the European TOG rating system to indicate how warm the sleeping bag is and what season they are suitable for.
- - The higher the TOG, the warmer the sleeping bag.
- - The TOG indicates approximately how many blankets the sleeping bag is equivilent to.
- - Bags with rating 1.2 or below are for spring/summer use.
- - Bags with rating 2-2.5 are for autumn/winter.
- - View Grobag clothing and weight information - what to dress baby in at night.
- - View Woolbabe clothing guide about how to dress baby at night.
What to wear in your sleeping bag:
This information is provided by grobag. Duvet or winter rated sleeping bags would use similar clothing to a 2.5 tog sleeping bag. Click here for our woolbabe information too.
Which bag for which season?
Many customers will try to buy one sleeping bag for their baby to use year-round. If your house is a consistent temperature year-round this would be a good option, or you plan to use quite different clothing with a mid-weight sleeping bag.
However also look at what bedding you use in your house, and how much this varies through the year. If you need a winter weight duvet in the middle of the year, but only a sheet in summer...your baby is likely to also need a couple of sleeping bags to get the right temperature.
Woolbabes are most versatile in the wide temperature range they can be used for.
The TOG information may help you decide which bag to buy, but also consider these factors:
- - Is your house warm or cold?
- - Do you plan to use heating in your baby's room in the winter?
- - Do you plan to use the same bag year round or would you prefer a summer weight bag for summer and a warmer bag for winter.
- - Do you have a room thermometer (eg gro egg) to accurately determine the temperature in your child's room?
- - The warmth of the bag will vary enormously with what clothing you use inside the bag. You can easily add another layer of clothing to make the bag warmer, such as using an extra merino bodysuit.
Fabric and filling:
The following options are available for baby sleeping bags from The Sleep Store:
- - Merino/cotton blend - used by woolbabe with 30% merino/70% cotton. This unique fabric regulates temperature, is very effective at absorbing moisture but has the softness and durability of cotton.
- - Merino/cotton blend with wool filling - used in duvet weight woolbabe bags. We believe this is the warmest option for winter sleeping bags and customers constantly give us this feedback.
- - 100% cotton - these bags are generally summer/spring weight, as they have no polyester filling or merino for warmth. They are ideal for warmer temperatures, day sleeps, taking on holidays overseas. They are also suitable for babies with allergies and eczema. Cotton bags are either 0.5 tog or 1.0 tog, the 0.5 are equivalent to just sleeping with a sheet. ergoPouch do make a wonderful 100% organic cotton winter weight bag too.
- - 100% cotton lining/exterior with polyester filling - these bags have soft cotton lining against baby's skin and cotton on the outside. The cotton may be either woven cotton (like sheets) or jersey knit (T-shirt fabric). The polyester filling adds warmth without weight, and is easily washed. These bags are warm and reasonably priced. Brands include grobag, Snugtime Cosi Bags and Living Textiles Smart Dream.
- - Merino & cotton - These bags use one layer or cotton and one of merino (Baby Caterpillar, Nature Baby, Sweet Cheeks)
- - The standard weight bags are generally suitable for year round use (with clothing changes), while the winter weight bags are suitable for rooms with temperature below 18 degrees. The merino & cotton is easy to look after, machine washable and doesn't hold odours. Click here for more information on merino fabric.
- - 100% merino - Baby Bundles and Mokopuna Cocoono bags use 2 layers of 100% merino.
Travel bag or standard sleeping bag?
- - If you are out and about during the day, or have your baby out in the evening, it is well worth investing in a sleeping bag that can be used in a pushchair.
- - This means you can still put baby into her pushchair at her routine sleep time, and she will know the sleeping bags means you expect her to go to sleep.
- - Travel Bags are designed for use with all 3 & 5 point harness systems.
- - Consider however whether your baby may be able to get her foot through the front buggy slot...if so, choose a front zip travel bags as this has a double-ended zip on the front and just a slot in the back.
Front zip or side zip & domes?
- - We find a bag with front zipper is much easier to use - simply pop your baby in and zip down the front (zips end at the bottom). Bags with front zips don't have the hassle of babies popping the shoulder domes, generally have smaller arm holes which are a closer fit and have no risk of the domes failing after lots -of use. It's still easy to change a nappy with a front zip, as they are plenty long enough and the bags open wide enough to access the nappy.
- - Shoulder domes and side zip enable you to open the bag out flat. This can be easier for babies under 6 months who still need frequent night nappy changes. With babies who sleep through the night the easier nappy change isn't really a factor.
- - Some bags have domes on both shoulders (eg Baby Caterpillar, Woolbabe, grobag), others have 2 domes on one shoulder only.
- - Should you choose a front or side-zip sleeping bag:

The Libation Bearer is the second plays in The Oresteia. The play focuses on Orestes' vengeance of Clytemnestra's murder of Agamemnon.The play starts at Agamemnon's tomb with Orestes and Pylades. Orestes kneels beside the tomb and swears that he will avenge his father's death. While praying for his father, he saw a group of slave women lead by his sister, Electra coming towards the tomb. They hide behind tomb.
Clytamenestra told Electra and other slave women to come to the tomb of Agamemnon to pour libation bearer on it. Later, Orestes comes out and faces Electra. They discuss the plan of avenging their father's death.
Orestes and Pylades pretend as strangers from Delphi to inform the Clytamenestra and Aegisthus about the death of Orestes. Shortly after they enter the palace, Orestes founds Aegisthus and kills him. Then, he found Clytamenestra and hesitates to kill her. Pylades, also a representation of Apollo, removes Orestes' hesitation. Orestes kills Clytamenestra. Clytamenestra tells Orestes that the fury will go after him before she dies.

My mentor and friend, Ralph Del Colle, has died tragically of lung cancer. He was a profoundly Catholic Trinitarian Theologian and guided me into living the theological vocation by thinking, writing, and teaching our ultimate concern--the blessed Trinity, whose hands hold Ralph close to his Fatherly heart.
Many, e.g. Mark Johnson, Fred Sanders, and others, have written about his passing. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinal has announced his obituary.
For the Marquette Theology Department's website, I took this picture of Ralph. I captured him right after our class on the Trinity had ended. See his radiant smile, those sparkling eyes, and humble wisdom are all present. He was always like this throughout his graduate classes. What is missing in this photo is his Yankees cap purposefully placed on the desk so the emblem would face his students. His love for the Trinity and his family was always first, but somehow in the midst of his love for the faith was also his love for the Yankees. Still, he didn't only wear a Yankees cap. As a son of Queens, NY, he was also a Mets fan and having lived in Milwuakee for many years, he would often wear a Brewers cap. I asked him about this one day. He said that he changed his baseball cap according to the theological virtue he was needing that day--Yankees cap meant faith, Mets cap meant hope, and Brewers cap meant charity.
His charity for the underdog, which is probably why he made time for me, filled our conversations, whether we would speak about the rosary, pentecostals, or his family. As an honor to him and his theological work, his friends, colleagues, and his students including me have compilied a festschrift, which Ralph saw in rough draft form of in his last days. I understand that he was greatly moved. We are greatly in his debt.
But all of this work ... seems like straw to sadness we feel as we mourn his death. We will pray and have prayed intensely for a miracle, especially through the intercession of Blessed John Paul II.
Please stay tuned to my site as I gather more information for you about my dear professor, Dr. Ralph Del Colle.
May he rest in the bosom of God the Father as the Son and Holy Spirit gather him into sharing their vision of the Father. May our good mother Mary, intercede for him and his family. She, whom he loves dearly, will not forget his wife and children.
Kyrie eleison, Christi eleison, Kyrie eleison.

Carcinoma is a cancer that begins in the tissue that lines your internal organs. Read on to learn more about who's at risk.
Most people have heard the word carcinoma in relation to skin cancer, but it's actually any cancer that begins in the epithelial layer of the skin surrounding the internal organs. In its early stages, carcinoma is identified as a stage 0 cancer, or carcinoma in situ, because it is found only in the layer of skin where it started.
Carcinoma can originate in and spread to any part of the body. The following are some of the most common types of carcinoma.
Skin cancer
Basal cell carcinoma is a type of skin cancer formed in the deepest layer of skin from exposure to sunlight or ultraviolet radiation. It grows slowly and rarely spreads.
Call for an Appointment
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) develops on the upper layers of skin. It might start as a bump in a reddish patch of skin or have a rough, scaly feel.
This type of cancer resembles an open sore and can bleed or ooze. The first signs of SCC often are in sun-damaged areas that have freckles, wrinkles, age spots or broken blood vessels.
Kidney cancer
Renal cell carcinoma grows into a malignant mass in the lining of tubules in the kidney. Over time, the mass can obstruct the kidney's filtering system.
Symptoms include lower back or abdominal pain, blood in the urine, unexplained weight loss and loss of appetite, anemia and/or fatigue. A CT scan or MRI is used to detect kidney abnormalities. If it's detected early and hasn't spread to other areas of the body, renal cell carcinoma can be treated by removing the kidney, though robotic surgery can save the kidney.
"Using the surgical robotic system, we can perform partial nephrectomies, which remove just the tumor and preserve the remaining portion of the kidney," says Andre Berger, MD, a urologist at USC Urology at Keck Medicine of USC and clinical assistant professor of urology at the Keck School of Medicine of USC. "Even if the tumor is large and invades or extends into the renal vein and the vena cava, we can still use robotic surgery to remove it."
Liver cancer
Hepatocellular carcinoma usually starts with pain in the abdomen, unexplained weight loss and jaundice. Early stages of this cancer can be treated, but advanced stage liver cancer frequently spreads to the lungs, bone or brain.
Breast cancer
One of the most common types of breast cancer is ductal carcinoma in situ, in which cancerous cells form in the lining of the milk ducts. This is an early stage cancer that is highly treatable, but it can spread to surrounding breast tissue, if not addressed.
Invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) is cancer that starts in the ducts but then spreads to surrounding breast tissue. Over time, IDC can spread to lymph nodes and other areas of the body. When symptoms appear, your doctor will suggest a screening followed by a biopsy to determine whether the cells are malignant.

For 40 years, the National Cancer Institute has recognized USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center at Keck Medicine of USC as one of the leading comprehensive cancers centers in the country.

Wes enjoys telling stories that encourage and inspire, laughing incredibly loud with family, and enjoying a great meal with friends - especially if it's on an adventure. He loves his wife, Vanessa, and their two young children, Winston and Stella. Together, they call Los Angeles home.
Q&A with Wes
Q: How would you describe yourself?
A: I'm a very normal guy, doing my best to be a good husband and father to our two children.
Q: If there was only one food left on the planet?
A: I love Italian food. And ice-cream. I love Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Dough ice cream, but I'm on a whole 30 diet right now so it's pretty much vegetables and other things that do not taste like ice cream.
Q: Do you have any hobbies?
A: I'm very good at un-making the bed. Professional grade.
Q: You're stuck on an island and can only bring 2 things:
A: My wife (if that counts) and a compass - it would feel like the continuation of our lifelong adventure together.
Q: Are you a sports fan?
A: Yes. Absolutely.
Q: Who are your favorite sports teams?
A: I've been a Lakers fan since I was a kid. I'd watch it on our black and white tv (yes, that is correct, we had a black and white tv). Sometimes I would turn the volume down and pretend I was Chick and Stu (Lakers announcers) and do the play by play.
I also love the Seahawks. They are a team, a family, a cult, a way of life and a championship team. Winston and I like to watch football together.

Multiple BSOD errors ranging from memory management to other things
I have included the zip that contains my logs. I sometimes crash while doing nothing; other times I don't crash while doing something. At first I thought it might have been my RAM because memory management was the first error I received...however...it has been different so many times.
The last time it happened I checked in event viewer and it looked like my Windows Services were failing one by one until Windows completely crashed.
First time it occurred was while playing Borderlands 2.
There doesn't really seem to be a pattern so I'm confused..
I hope everything needed is in the .zip. Thanks!
Oh...also...My Windows Update service failed numerous times...Everything is pretty unstable right now.

Okay I ran the SFC and then did the thingy to dissect it to only show the verification part...
I run MSE and Malware Bytes daily...they've returned nothing thus far.
Not to sound derp...but I don't have a DVD drive right now. And if I were to replace a system file I would just re-format. Is that what's causing the problem? A corrupt OS? All of my Microsoft symbols switched to Japanese when I opened CMD...>_>.

Sorry if I seem stupid >_>
Tried the last of my tricks and Memtest just isn't working. My mobo is compatible with USB boot devices..but memtest just isn't doing it. I've fiddled with over-rides and everything...

For Doctors
For doctors, adding the unique expertise of Registered Kinesiologists to your referral network can help improve health care outcomes for your patients.
Registered Kinesiologists' expertise in the field of movement can give referring doctors an option to help prevent or manage many of the most common illnesses, injuries and chronic conditions suffered by Canadians.
Kinesiologists are leaders in the prevention of injury and chronic disease. Most Canadians are surprised at the extent and strength of the evidence linking proper physical activity to numerous health improvements. Most significantly, physical activity reduces the risk of fatalities from coronary heart disease. It also significantly reduces the risk of developing diabetes, hypertension, and colon cancer. Physical activity enhances mental health, fosters healthy muscles, bones and joints and helps maintain function to preserve and extend independence in older adults.
Kinesiologists use exercise in the management of injury and chronic disease. While prevention is the best, most cost-effective way to manage injury or disease, Registered Kinesiologists are more and more on the front-line in restoring people's health. Kinesiologists are case managers who empower and assist injured and infirm clients to help manage and improve their own health and return to normal lives. It is well-documented that: proper exercise can cut in half the risk of dying from a second heart event; be twice as effective in treating type 2 diabetes than standard insulin administration alone; reduce mortality and the risk of recurrent cancer by 50 per cent; and can decrease depression as effectively as medication or behavioural therapy.

The Devil's Double
A chilling vision of the House of Saddam Hussein comes to life through the eyes of the man who was forced to become the double of Hussein's sadistic son.

This is Uday Hussein's world and with his depraved lust for debauchery and immorality, he helps himself to whatever turns him on. When army lieutenant Latif Yahia is summoned to Saddam's palace, he is faced with an impossible request – to be Uday's 'fiday' – his body double, or have his family condemned to death. In a world entrenched in betrayal and corruption, knowing who to trust becomes a matter of life or death for Latif, as he battles to escape from his forced existence.

Photo Stories: The Rawlings Conservatory @ Druid Hill Park was host to a 12 day art exhibit(Oct 1-Oct 12), Nature Indoors, which featured the diverse works of some of Baltimore's promising artists. The Conservatory partnered with Maryland Institute College of Art's (MICA) student Gloria Azucena to create an exhibit that celebrates nature by bringing nature indoors. Azucena is enrolled in MICA's Curatorial Practice MFA Program. Photos(c.green images) below are from the exhibits opening reception.
Kpelle Village - Druid Hill Park 1984
KPELLE VILLAGE – Launched in Druid Hill Park in 1984, Kpelle Village was a part of a cultural exchange project that was associated with Sister Cities International. Kpelle is an ethnic group in Liberia. Sister Cities promoted the exchange of culture between countries. Baltimore's first Sister city was Gbarnga, Liberia. An authentic village was built to replicate a particular period in Liberia and its people.
But the connection between Baltimore and Gbarnga was established years before the village was built at Druid Hill Park. In the early 1970's Larry Gibson, Baltimore lawyer, author, political strategist, visited Gbnarga and based on his experience with the country and its people, believed that a cultural exchange project would serve the best interests of both locales. Thus, the relationship began and led to exchange of artifacts, pen pals, teacher exchange and cross country visits.
A groundbreaking ceremony with African dance kicked off the project at the park that included the presence of Maria Broom and former Mayor Donald Schaefer, among others. However, all was not well in Kpelle Village. There were segments of the Black community that just despised its location – the zoo.
Dr. Emmit Burns, as well as International Ministerial Alliance pressed the Sister Cities organization and the mayor to have it removed to another area of the park. But the Sister Cities committee balked and noted they placed the exhibit in the zoo because of its size, trees that resembled Liberia, and free cost. Additionally, the committee had noted that they appreciate the Black past and are proud of it.

Top 5 Wednesday // Summer Reads
Summer is a time for reading. Time is taken off, everything is peaceful and warm and sunny and oh, look, you're outside for the first time this year. It's time to wipe off the cobwebs and get your nose into a good book. Get the sand between your toes or lie back on the grass, these are the books that to me, are the most summery!
The Sky Is Everywhere & I'll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson
I'm starting to sound a little like a broken record when it comes to the beautiful writing that is Jandy Nelson's words. But how can I not give at least a bit of love every month? I garuntee you will like the other book if you enjoyed one. I started with I'll Give You The Sun, adored it, and for some strange reason, didn't pick up The Sky Is Everywhere until much later. Why did I not think the writing wouldn't be as en pointe as before?
The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater
The Raven Cycle has quickly become one of the most read and aesthetic series on the internet. It's everywhere; from fanart to playlists to AUs. The first book in the series is set entirely in the boys' summer holidays/vacation. And so, Henrietta is alive for summer as the gang search for their lost Raven King. If you haven't started this already, you seriously should!
The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey
There is nothing like a post-apocalyptic teen novel for your poolside read! I read this a long time ago and was blown away by the fantastic writing and the vivid characters. The reason behind the end-of-the-world…ness, is a very secretive, thrilling element to the story, and a for a long time you're left to figure out what's going on. It's chilling and scarily close to home. If you've seen the movie, don't base it on that. Please. Don't.
Truthwitch by Susan Dennard
This was a complete cover buy; scowering the internet for the American version to be shipped to the U.K. I mean, look at it. I read Truthwitch with absolutely no clue about the plot, and in parts, I still don't know. But I'm excited for Windwitch, and the series is rich with world building and beautiful female friendships. I would recommend this if summer and high fantasy are your perfect mix!

?A fantasy Western (�Cowboys & Aliens�), a romantic comedy (�Crazy, Stupid, Love�), a novel adaptation (�Sarah�s Key�) and a children�s movie (�The Smurfs�) are among the releases arriving for this last weekend of July.
For complete descriptions, critical evaluations of previewed films, and explanations of the Motion Picture Association of America ratings in terms of violence, language and sexual content, please refer to the Movie Capsules in Friday�s ToDo section.
The films scheduled for this weekend are:
�Another Earth,� with Brit Marling, who also co-wrote the script, and William Mapother in a PG-13 dramatic fantasy about an MIT student and a brilliant composer who cross paths due to an accident and have the opportunity for rebirth by traveling to the other Earth and embracing an alternative reality. Mike Cahill (�Boxers and Ballerinas�) co-wrote and directed.
�Cowboys & Aliens,� with 43-year-old Daniel Craig and 69-year-old Harrison Ford in an 1873-set action tale that pits some frontiersmen against space invaders. The supporting cast in the PG-13 picture includes Sam Rockwell, Abigail Spencer, Paul Dano and Adam Beach. Jon Favreau (�Iron Man�) directed.
�Crazy, Stupid, Love,� with Steve Carell, Emma Stone, Ryan Gosling and Marisa Tomei in an R-rated comedy about a father suffering marital difficulties and dating challenges while trying to help his adult children with their relationships. Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, who previously teamed on �I Love You Phillip Morris,� co-directed.
�A Little Help,� with Jenna Fischer and Chris O�Donnell in an R-rated comedy drama about a single mother who tells a series of self-serving lies to provide shelter for her and her 12-year-old child.
�Salvation Boulevard,� with Pierce Brosnan, Greg Kinnear, Jennifer Connelly, Ed Harris, Colin Hanks and Marisa Tomei in an unrated religious satire about a charismatic preacher who finds himself in a compromising situation that becomes much worse after he asks a free-spirited church member to help cover up his misdeed. George Ratliff (�Hell House� documentary) directed.
�Sarah�s Key,� with Kristen Scott Thomas and Aidan Quinn in a PG-13 drama based on Tatiana De Rosnay�s best-seller about a woman mentally tortured by the way French police helped to round up Jewish families for the Nazis in 1942. Her investigation into what happened shakes her world. Gilles Paquet-Brenner (�Pretty Things�) directed.
�The Smurfs,� with Sofia Vergara and Neil Patrick Harris in a PG-rated children�s film that combines live action and animation in a tale in which the blue creatures from the 1981 TV series and toy line must leave their magical village and land in Central Park. The voice talents for the Smurfs include Paul Reubens, Alan Cumming and pop star Katy Perry. It will be available in 2-D and 3-D. Raja Gosnell (�Beverly Hills Chihuahua�) directed.
At the Buck$ Office
�Captain America� attracted millions of patriotic action fans last weekend.
Many industry observers were shocked when �Captain America: The First Avenger,� starring Chris Evans in the title role, grossed more than $65 million in its first three days of release. Most experts predicted that the summer glut of superhero movies would damage the opening of the PG-13 picture, which was predicted to take in $50 million at the most.
Those estimates were way off.
The comic book hero knocked the wind out of the �Harry Potter� franchise.
�Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2� dropped 71.6 percent to gross $48 million in its second weekend of release. In two weeks, the final �Potter� installment has grossed $274.1 million just in the U.S. and Canada.
The raunchy �Friends With Benefits� opened with a modest $18.5 million. The R-rated rom-com, starring Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake, deals with two professional acquaintances trying a no-strings-attached relationship.
According to Box Office Mojo, the top-10 films last weekend were:
1. �Captain America: The First Avenger� ($65.8 million)
2. �Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2� ($48 million)
3. �Friends With Benefits� ($18.5 million)
4. �Transformers: Dark of the Moon� ($12 million)
5. �Horrible Bosses� ($11.7 million)
6. �Zookeeper� ($8.7 million)
7. �Cars 2� ($5.7 million)
8. �Winnie the Pooh� ($5.1 million)
9. �Bad Teacher� ($2.6 million)
10. �Midnight in Paris� ($1.8 million)

|Beezus on her two-wheeler bike with pedals.
We took the bike out of the store, she got on it on the sidewalk, used her feet to get her moving and then started pedaling. We came home and within a half hour or so, she was riding from one end of the block to the other. The next day she rode it the entire way to Target, about .7 of a mile.
When she started on the sidewalk at home, her face would alternate between expressions of glee and concentration. When she concentrates she presses her lips into a thin line and her face reminds me of how she looked when she was a toddler and would be attempting to climb over the baby gate. Then I just want to throw myself on the grass and cry and sob with sadness and excitement over her growing up.

She's never been a girly-girl and really does like fuss so the challenges at
Crazy 4 Challenges - #324 sketch
I knew what to make, something simply and clean and slightly understated - just like she'd want
I went through several different fonts to find the one I thought best suited this modest celebration. I carefully added a tiny amount of black ink to the edges of the L-plate befroe I ripped it, purely to make it stand out from it's white background. The road is some textured black card with a chalk pen to make the road-markings.
The inside had a bit more of congrats from us to her.
Back soon

Political Policy and the Wealth Gap
Consider the US income distribution in 2005.
It demonstrates that a clear majority of the population earns an income at the relatively low end of possible incomes in our economy. This sort of curve isn't too surprising since those who acquire relatively more resources initially can in turn acquire additional resources easily since they can afford costly investments with large payoff.
This presents a problem of endgame capitalism. The idea is that if a system has a finite amount of resources and a finite number of people attempting to acquire as many resources as they can such that none have 0 resources, then the instability of socialism (where everyone has the same amount of resources) will force some to have more, and in turn make it easier for them to get more by contracting others (i.e. forming a corporation). Slowly those with less lose more and more over time until several "corporations" remain. Then the process repeats, and eventually we are left with a single owner, or at least one person getting arbitrarily close to possessing all of the resources. To combat this endgame, we are left with political policy.
The highest tax bracket in the US is 35% and applies to households making over $373,000 [2]. That is less than 2% of the population. There will come a point in our future where we will have to decide between "fairness" and efficiency. It would be far more efficient for very low incomes to have 0% (or at least very low) tax rates and for the upper echelons pay bigger percentages. They could still rank far above the rest after taxes. During previous time periods taxes were raised to combat the costs of the federal government (in particular WWII in 1945).
Also of interest (as Greg points out) is the correlation between the decrease in the top tax rate and increase in the national debt.

Football coaches teach their running back stances so the shoulders are even with the knees. This keeps the running back from leaning forward and tipping a running play to the defense. Running Backs are explosive players who always look for holes in the defense, give a distinct pocket for the hand off, know how to avoid tacklers, blocks well on passing plays, and catch all passes thrown in their direction with their hands.
In order to be dangerous with the ball, you have to make sure you receive the ball safely, which sounds easy but often isn't. Here are some tips for a flawless exchange between the quarterback and the running back, so you can eliminate unforced errors and momentum-killing fumbles.
The player makes a "pocket" with the arms to receive the ball:
Top Half of the "Pocket"
- Inside Elbow - even with the shoulders.
- Forearm - horizontal with the ground.
- Inside Hand - palm down, ready to accept the point of the ball.
Bottom Half of the "Pocket"
- Outside Elbow - straight down from the shoulder.
- Forearm - horizontal across the midsection.
- Outside Hand - slightly bent with the palm up, ready to accept the other end of the ball.
- Fingers - pointing toward the quarterback.
- Hands - both hands instantly secure the ball upon contact.
- Eyes - focused on the hole where the play goes and the defensive reactions to the play.

About this Blog
This blog is designed to share my own work and work in progress, and also promote and highlight other creatives whose work inspires me.
A creative life can be a lonely journey. Social media has provided a way to connect and collaborate with each other and share with friends and "fans". I hope that we can get a conversation going here, in a safe, welcoming space.
About me
As a Portrait Photographer, based here in the beautiful Heart of England, I am ideally placed to work with clients all over the UK and, indeed, beyond. My mission is to work with you to celebrate your life, work and passions.
As "Grandma Bear" I have just published the first of a series of children's illustrated books: The Three Brother Bears and the Deep, Dark Woods. I also run the Treehouse Club – a FREE online club for children, with exclusive activities and stories. I created these little characters and their happy little world because I believe strongly that children need to play outside and that the series' values of Kindness, Resourcefulness, Loyalty, Self Respect, Playfulness, Creativity, Friendship and Environmental Awareness can be taught through example, recreating the childhood of our imagination.
As a writer, I aim to bring everything together in this new blog, and continue the work of the now defunct "project50". The aim here is to connect with other creatives, readers and friends to share inspiration and ideas and showcase each others' work. Lots of little ships, aiming to bring up the water level in the harbour!
There are a lot of "I"s in this "About me". But really, I want it to be about "us". Join me.

Innovative information technologies including sensor technologies and social media have led to an explosion of digital data, a trend that is usually referred to as Big Data.
Most analysts regard Big Data as one of the major trends in ICT that will have a tremendous impact on society and business. But how to create business value out of Big Data? What kind of new business models and new services can we expect to emerge around Big Data? What is the potential of Big Data for jobs and growth in Europe? Is Europe lagging behind or can Europe assume a leadership role in Big Data? How will citizen and consumers finally benefit from Big Data? Is there a need for a new regulatory framework and standards for Big Data in the EU? And what are the policy initiatives of the European Commission around Big Data?
These are some of the questions we will discuss at the EIF Dinner Debate on Big Data on September 24.

Lawyers Press Musharraf With Protests
Wednesday, March 21, 2007
LAHORE, Pakistan, March 20 -- When the police broke into the offices of some of this city's best-known lawyers last week, they didn't hold back. They smashed through doors and windows, tossed computers, ransacked files and beat anyone standing in their way with iron-tipped batons.
"We couldn't even see them because of the tear gas, but we could hear the cries of our lawyers," said Khurram Latif Khosa, a counselor who was in the courtyard below.
To Khosa, the raid was a clear message from Pakistan's president, Gen. Pervez Musharraf: Don't cross me. But Khosa, like lawyers across this country, is failing to heed it.
In a controversy that has gripped Pakistan and poses perhaps the most serious challenge yet to Musharraf's leadership, the nation's executive and judiciary are clashing over the president's decision nearly two weeks ago to suspend the Supreme Court chief justice. Lawyers in black suits have staged almost daily protests since, as the president's political opponents joined in. The police have responded with several raids, including one on the nation's most popular television station. A major protest is expected Wednesday in the capital, Islamabad, with organizers calling for a nationwide strike.
To the lawyers and other Musharraf critics, the protests are about far more than a decision to suspend a judge. The larger question, they say, is whether Pakistan will be governed by the rule of law, or by one-man rule.
"People are starting to deeply resent this idea that he is the only one who knows what is right for Pakistan. Are the rest of us 160 million bloody idiots?" said Ejaz Haider, news editor of the Friday Times newspaper.
Musharraf, a U.S. ally who came to power nearly eight years ago in a bloodless coup, has defended the suspension, saying there were serious allegations against the judge and he was obligated to refer them to a special council that will rule on the matter. So far, the exact allegations have not been made public.
As for the behavior of the police, the president has tried to distance himself, and even alleged there is "a conspiracy" within his government to embarrass him. Musharraf also denied accusations that he is trying to manufacture an emergency so he can postpone elections this fall.
"We will go forward on the course, which is elections this year when the five-year tenure of assemblies is completed. I am firmly resolved to do that and I will do it," he said in an interview Monday with Geo television, the private Pakistani network raided by police only three days earlier.
Critics are unconvinced. The suspension, they say, is part of an effort by an autocratic president to snuff out fledgling democratic institutions that challenge his authority.
"This is an attack on the judiciary as an institution. Tomorrow, other institutions might be victims of the attack," said Ahsan Bhoon, president of the Lahore High Court Bar Association. "If the dictator is not stopped, there will be anarchy. There will be civil war."
Pakistani legal experts say Musharraf was within his rights in referring allegations against the chief justice, Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry, to a special council for review. But many say he erred in suspending Chaudhry before the council ruled on the allegations. On Tuesday, one of Pakistan's three deputy attorneys general resigned, saying the crisis had made it "very difficult" for him to perform his duties, the Reuters news agency reported.

Little Red Riding Hood Cascade Duffle Coat
This was my first coat project. I wanted a coat that would stand out a little bit, hence the red. It always reminds me of Little Red Riding Hood whenever I wear it! I found it really hard to source the duffle closures. I ended up making them myself. I took quite some time to figure out how to attach them neatly. In the end I sewed them on by hand because I was having lots of trouble sewing them on with my machine.

SARA Gilbert
Favorite Part of Job? My favorite part of working at NeighborWorks is meeting new people and then learning about what problems they are trying to solve - whether that is paying too much to heat their home, trying to breathe new life into a neighborhood, or overcoming student loans on their path to homeownership. My job is to connect them to the experts and partners who can get them on the right path, and I love that I get to help people meet their goals.
Most Inspiring Mentor: My mother is my most inspiring mentor: she is a powerful woman leader, and she taught me that the surest path to personal success is to act with integrity, generosity and compassion in all situations. She and my father both instilled a love of learning and a curiosity about other people in me. These qualities motivate me to find the good in people and help me find common ground with many different kinds of people.
Tell us something fun about yourself that few people know: The Christmas season is my favorite time of year, so sometimes when I really need to concentrate at work I put in headphones and secretly rock out to some holiday tunes!
Favorite Hobby: Although my grandmother, Elaine Gilbert, could never convince me to take it up as a child, knitting has become my favorite hobby. Creating a cloth from string still seems like a bit of magic trick to me, and I love how forgiving it is - you can always fix your mistakes!
Favorite Vermont Escape: My favorite way to enjoy our beautiful state is to take a walk in the woods because I grew up hiking and hunting with my dad.
Favorite Social Media: I finally joined Pinterest, and I can already see it becoming my new favorite way to discover ideas for projects.
Favorite Website: The website I visit most often is VTDigger.org - I can always get the information I need there.
Vermont Business Person you would like to have lunch with: I'd love the chance to have lunch with Ellen Kahler, executive director of the Vermont Sustainable Jobs Fund.
Career Highlights: Before joining NeighborWorks in August 2013, I researched disaster recovery and flood resilience as a National Science Foundation graduate fellow in political geography at the University of Washington in Seattle, where I earned a masters degree and worked at a teaching assistant. Before pursuing graduate work, I worked as a regional planner in Rutland, VT.
Community Involvement: I am a founding board member of Rutland Young Professionals and currently serve as secretary of the board and chair of the Employer Relations committee. I also serve as a member of the 2014 United Way of Rutland County campaign team, and am an enthusiastic supporter of the Women's Professional Development Center of Rutland and Emerge Vermont. I am also a past board member of the Rutland Creative Economy.

Scale objects
If your file is large like this example, it's good to scale it smaller. Select the object by clicking on it (the outline turns yellow), then press
N to open the Transform properties window.
Take a look at the Scale and Dimensions. If all Scale values are 1 it means the object is in it's original size. The Dimensions might be in Blender units by default, so it's good to change them to Metric system to match the measures in Patches.
To change units, go to the Scene options at the far right menu, the third icon on the row.
Under the Units menu, select Meters from the drop down and change Length to Metric. Now the object measures show in meters.
To scale down the object, press
S and drag your mouse to scale it down. Keep an eye on the Dimensions. To stop scaling, click anywhere on the screen to accept your new scale. For this example I scaled down the object until it was about 1 meter wide.
Change Object Center Point
Often when downloading Sketchfab files the object doesn't have a center pivot point. This means it will be difficult to scale and move the object in 3D space, because the pivot point is somewhere outside the model.
To give the object a center point, move it by dragging the arrows until the area where you want the new pivot point to be is approximately at the center of the grid.
For easier object placement, press
5 on the Numpad (or main numbers if you have Emulate Numpad option on) to switch to Orthographic view. The numbers work as hotkeys for changing the view angle.
1= Front
3= Right
5= Othrographic / Perspective
7= Top
9= bottom
- Other numbers rotate the angle manually.
The orange dot is the object's center pivot point. The goal is to move it to the center of the grid, where the red/white circle is located. This is the 3D Cursor which can be used to determine a new pivot point place.
To make sure the 3D Cursor is at the center of the grid, press
Shift + C to reset it's location.
At the far left menu on the screen is a drop down menu called Set Origin. If it's not visible, make sure you are in the Tools tab at the top left corner of the menu. Click on it and select Origin to 3D Cursor. This changes the object's pivot point to the 3D Cursor location.
Now the point has moved and is at the center of the object. This makes it easier to transform in any 3D scenes.
Decimate Objects
High resolution 3D models often have a lot of polygons, which is not ideal for the web. Blender has a simple tool for reducing the polycount while still keeping the geometry the same.
Select the 3D model (in this case the table) and in the far right menu go to the Modifiers tab, which has a wrench icon.
Click on the Add Modifier menu, and select the Decimate modifier.
Now the object has the Decimate modifier.
The eye icon displays or hides the modifier in the viewport. When it's dark grey it's enabled and shows the modifier. The Ratio is the amount of reduction you want to do. 1 equals 100%, which means there is no reduction. 0.5 is 50% and halves the polycount of the object. Click on the Ratio type the value you want to try and press enter.
For this example the ratio used is 0.45. Notice the difference in the amount of Faces under the Ratio. This shows how much geometry the object has after the reduction. Depending on how much the reduction is, you can see the change on the object in the view.
The most detailed part of this model changed to look slightly more simple. The best amount of Ratio is to have a value as low as possible but still keep the object almost identical to the original one. Making the value too low will start to break the object as it tries to find ways to reduce the polygons.
The modifier can be left on the list, or it can be applied to the object itself. Note that this will completely remove polygons from the object and won't be undoable later on. To make the changes to the object, click on the Apply button on the Decimate modifier. The modifier then disappears from the list.
Export objects
The best file format to export for Patches is obj. To export your 3D object make sure your object is selected, go to File > Export and choose Wavefront (.obj).
This opens the browser window where you can name and choose where to export your file. The bottom left corner has Export OBJ options. From these options check the Selection Only and Material Groups options. Everything else is fine by default.
The export outputs two files: MTL and OBJ. The OBJ is the one needed for Patches.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but it looks like everything the past few generations have been trying just simply isn't working out.
I love being the bearer of good news the future isn't in the hands of the past generations now.
It's Our Turn Now! Our Generation Has The Opportunity To Make A Real Positive Change. We are the Good Vibes Generation and are the most consciously aware generation (Consciousness is Expanding Exponentially) in our history.
Through Uniting Together Around the World and Embracing The Young Generation's Belief, "Spreading only Good Vibes, Acceptance and Positive Energy."
We can create a Unified Focus of the Collective Conscience. Thus, creating not only Change, not just Positive Change, but also the Positive Change We Choose.
By Spreading Awareness of the Understanding of Human Nature, Vibrations, and Energy
By Spreading Awareness of the Understanding of Human Nature, Vibrations, and Energy
We are entering a new astronomical age, The Age of Aquarius (happens once every 22500 or so years.) It is synonymous with the Awakening of Consciousness that so many are beginning to experience. The lack of scientific focus on the subject kept it out of the light for many years but now with undeniable scientific research pertaining to many of the Spiritual beliefs of every recorded civilization since the dawning of mankind. We are being given a Golden Opportunity (entering the Golden Age.)
I am going to tell you a little secret;
"I do not work for a Blog Site, I do not get paid for Blogging ( I don't even have ads,) I am not writing to try and Convince you of anything, I am not trying to say this is the only way, I am not even trying to say that this is the absolute right way. The purpose initially was to expand my knowledge, awareness, research different views, ideas, and theories; then decide for myself which bits and pieces I agreed with or made a connection with in order to construct a view on life that resonated with me. In order for me to make my opinion on a big picture, I like to fully understand all the elements (very thoroughly) that comprise the bigger pictures.
The Conclusion I had reached (and am still reaching) I believe can incite a change in the world and make a difference; this is my personal belief having seen the drastic positive differences in my life it created and through my experimentation of these effects.
The only thing I wish to do here is give you the same knowledge I spent countless hours attaining and connect it all in a unique way with easy to understand concepts and language. I wish to do this in order to allow you, the reader, to make your own conscious decisions on whether or not you agree, disagree, or could agree. I wish to incite conversations and questions and interactions. While also for those who do agree with me, I wish to help spread and share this information or help me explain it more clearly. As with all information from intuitive means it is very hard to explain the feeling ("gut feeling" "chill down the spine") I get about each subject and in knowing that maybe for someone, even just one person it can help them be strong, connect, inspire, motivate them with a struggle, curiosity, or life-decision then all the writing has been worth it."-Darrien Eouse

Visiting Priorat winery with character - Celler Devinssi
Catalonia, Spain, has many attractive tourist destinations, from the bustle of Barcelona to the beaches of Costa Brava. But visitors to the area should not ignore the interior of the region, where driving west will bring you to the windswept mountains of Priorat, one of Spain's - and the world's - premier wine-making regions. To experience the wonders of this land, visitors should schedule a visit to Celler Devinssi.
Begin with a drive to the Priorat vines
True wine lovers always relish the chance to step into the vineyards. Devinssi's host, Jordi - a charming, funny, multi-lingual guide - drives visitors on narrow unpaved roads that wind around vineyards. Along the route, he waves to neighboring winery owners, explains the that the plantings between vines actually facilitates biodynamic grape growing, and finally parks on a tiny piece of flat land. From there, visitors can walk up a trail to a stunning lookout point where an unspoiled landscape of vineyards, almond trees, and lush vegetation stretch as far as the eye can see.
Tour and tasting at Devinssi in Gratallops
After the vineyard tour, visitors return to the old stone streets of Gratallops (the village was settled before the 12th century) for a tour of the diminutive cellar. Then it's on to the next stop - what looks like a small house that serves as the tasting room. There's a homey feel to the whole setup, and our group (a small media trip) was settled in at a wooden kitchen table and offered crackers as Jordi and owner Josep Roca opened the D.O. (Denominaciones de Origen) Priorat wines.
I was surprised to taste a wonderful white wine to start - the 2015 Mas de las Valls White. This full-bodied white had lush flavors of white raisins, minerals, lemon pitch, slight grapefruit, and almonds. This noteworthy wine was made from equal thirds of White Garnacha, Pedro Ximenez (better known for making sweet Sherry), and Carignan (a red grape).
Wonderful red wines from Priorat
The red wines of Celler Devinssi were truly memorable and offered exceptional quality at every price point.
2014 Cupatge was a red blend with deep dark black and red fruit flavors, soft tannins, and was overall a strong expression both of minerality and fruit. It sells for 30 euros.
The 2013 Mas de les Valls had a smoky notes along with strong violet aromas. The fruit was very rich with blackberry jam quality that was balanced by high acidity. I brought a bottle of this 45 Euro wine home with me.
The 2013 Il.lia had a basalmic quality with cherries, clove, firm, but integrated tannins and high acid. The blend of Garnacha, Carinena, and Cabernet Sauvignon is aged for 18 months in French Oak. This 70 Euro wine was a wonderful example of top quality Priorat wine.
Being on a media trip, we got to taste a premier wine that may not be available to tour groups. However, it is worth sharing the tasting notes as an example of premier wine of this region. The 2012 Rocapoll was, quite simply, a "wow" wine. It has a tiny production - this vintage only produced 300 bottles. It is created with Mazuela grapes from old vines. It is a rare, traditionally fermented wine - using only yeasts of the grape. The result is a wine with delicious, deep blackberry flavors, rich mouthfilling body, high acid, minerality, and a huge finish. This wine garnered 92 points from Penin's Guide 2016 and its price of 200 Euros reflects its rarity and quality.
Whether a serious collector or an enthusiastic newbie, travelers who want to get a taste of some of Spain's best wines, should make an appointment to visit Celler Devinssi.

On a particularly packed night at the District's Policy Restaurant and Lounge in March 2011, Elizabeth Harris was getting a lot of attention.
She was there with a friend and, according to Paul Gordon, there was a line of men waiting for her to take notice of them.
"It was like every two minutes there was someone coming up to them," recalls Paul, the energy manager for the architect of the Capitol.
And so Paul, struck with her as well, entered the parade of guys pining for Elizabeth and chatted her up.
"I remember thinking he was handsome and very tall. Like 6-foot-8," says Elizabeth, who is 5-foot-10. "And I remember thinking that he was the only guy I talked to that night who I wanted to keep on talking to."
Paul didn't initially give Elizabeth his number, and toward the end of the night she asked whether they could keep in touch and go out sometime soon. Paul insists that this oversight was because of his lack of confidence, thinking that she wasn't really interested. He was wrong.
Their first date was a few days later at Rosemary's Thyme Bistro on 18th Street, and Elizabeth decided to bring her new dog, a vizsla named Cairo. Elizabeth was set on "making [her] own family with a few dogs because dating was torture," but then Paul came into the picture.
They both thought the first date was a success despite the nagging puppy, but Paul didn't call her for another date right away. The next time they saw each other was during an awkward grocery store encounter.
"I looked really awful and I was at Harris Teeter with some of my family and a friend, who pointed him out," says Elizabeth, a development program manager at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. "I sort of couldn't get away with not saying hello, so I went up to him and asked him why he was here, since I knew this wasn't his neighborhood store. He actually told me it was because it had better nuts, which is a really weird thing to say to someone."
He also explained that he was in the process of moving and changing jobs, which was why he hadn't called. Soon they decided to go on a second date, sans dog. They dined at Perry's in Adams Morgan. On the way, they were stopped by a group of bagpipers who had a very telling premonition.
"I don't know if you've ever been surrounded by a group of bagpipers, but they're seriously so loud that you can't hear yourself think," Paul says. "So they're playing this song and ask us if we're engaged and then basically just say that we're going to be soon, and then they tell us to kiss, and this is our second date, so again it was like, oh jeez, this is awkward."
After that date, Elizabeth started telling her co-workers that Paul was the man she was going to marry, and the couple became inseparable. They took day trips to Delaware and Middleburg, Va., and then took longer trips to places such as Thailand.
"I had this really bad reputation of breaking up with people while we were traveling together. I mean, I had seriously broken up with people in Canada, California and Poland, so when I told my family about Thailand, they were like, 'Ugh, can't you just dump him in the states?" Elizabeth says with a laugh. "But sure enough, we had a fantastic time and it sort of sealed the deal for me."
They moved in together in May 2012 and bought a house in Capitol Hill the following October. A proposal would follow, but it would take nearly five months for Paul to pull off his master plan.
It started with a puzzle. In the days leading up to the proposal, Elizabeth started getting a few puzzle pieces a day. The first day, the pieces were all white. The next day, the pieces signified a boarding pass to an undisclosed location. Then, she got pieces showing how long the flight would be. Then, the boarding and arrival times. On the last day, she found out where she and Paul would be jetting off to: Paris.
Elizabeth had a few days to pack and prepare, and then the couple was off. On the day of the proposal, Paul had reservations at Lapérouse, a historic restaurant on the Seine with a reputation as the place well-to-do Parisian couples got engaged in the 18th century; women would scrape their new engagement rings on the restaurant's mirrors to make sure the diamonds were real. Elizabeth thought that by the end of the meal she'd be engaged, but Paul had something much more intimate in mind.
He had reservations to go up to the top of the Eiffel Tower, but rather than proposing in a crowd of people, he waited until they were back on solid ground and alone.
"We went to a secluded spot, and he asked me to dance and put my phone in his front pocket and played our two songs, 'Night and Day' by the Temptations and 'Lovesong' by Adele," Elizabeth says. "It was 11:45 at night and he was shaking because he was so cold, and he basically said, 'I cant wait any longer,' and dropped down to one knee."
He proposed just 15 minutes shy of the third anniversary of their first kiss.
Elizabeth Harris, 28, and Paul Gordon, 27, were married April 4 at the Hay-Adams Hotel with a scenic view of the White House and Washington Monument. With music as a central theme, Elizabeth walked down the aisle to her favorite song, "If Music Be the Food of Love," sung by an 18-person choir.
"I didn't see commitment like this happening at my age," Paul said before the wedding. "The fact that that changed speaks a lot to Elizabeth and how much she surprised me about how much I didn't know about myself. She's everything that I didn't think existed in one person."
"Paul respects my life and career just as much as I do," Elizabeth added. "I know that he is always going to be gung-ho about experiencing life to the fullest with me, and I'm so happy that he's the person I'm walking down the aisle to and that this wedding isn't a faraway daydream anymore."

Web Marketing & Promotion
Is your site successful enough ?
Creating a website is one thing. Establishing a successful web presence is another. Web marketing has two essential objectives:
- Getting more visitors to your website
- Converting these visitors into buyers/subscribers
Online advertising, search engine optimization, directory submission, link exchange, email campaigns and affiliate programs are the main tools for generating more targeted traffic to your website. Content and flow evaluation, along with website traffic analysis, are the key methods for turning your traffic into sales/subscriptions.
The beauty about internet marketing, compared to traditional (offline) forms of marketing, is that you can have fast, direct and measurable feedback on every marketing strategy you have put in place. By examining the traffic of your website you can find out quickly where your new customers are coming from, what they like, what they don't like, whether your existing customers are happy and keep coming back, and so on.
Not having a well planned marketing strategy for your online business is a costly mistake you cannot afford to make.
Marketing & website promotion services available at Alterora
Search Engine Optimization & Directory SubmissionSearch Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of changing the structure, the design and the content of a website in order to achieve higher rankings (i.e. better placement) in the results of a search engine query for specific keywords. It also involves the submission and the exchange of links with other major sites (portals, web directories) in order to increase site's visibility and "significance".
TextAds AdvertisingTextAds (Text-only Advertisements) have been proved to be more successful compared to earlier forms of online advertising (banners, popup windows, etc) because they are less annoying, faster to download, simpler and yet more effective. They can't be blocked or filtered by software, and they can reach targeted audiences by matching search terms or site content with ad keywords.
Web content and flow analysisThe purpose of this analysis is to address issues like content organization and presentation, navigation, feedback implementation and support. If the flow in your website is poor (i.e. the steps someone has to take in order to complete a task) and the content doesn't look attractive to the visitor, he/she will look for alternatives and never come back. We can also perform a competitive analysis to see where your site stands in comparison to the competition.
Affiliate ProgramsAffiliate programs, also known as associate programs, offer a way to promote products and services through a network of affiliates that get a commission either per sale, per lead or per click to a website. Even though there are "in house" affiliate programs, most content providers prefer working with affiliate networks as they are considered more reliable, have more options and give better service.
Traffic AnalysisWebsite traffic analysis is an essential task for marketers, sales managers and web administrators alike. When done properly, it can reveal a wealth of information regarding visitors' behavior, referral sites, online campaign effectiveness, etc. A valuable tool for improving the whole marketing decision-making process.
Email CampaignsRunning an email campaign can be a very tempting marketing strategy, because it looks simple, flexible (target groups, personalized messages, easy scheduling, fast delivery, tracking capabilities) and cheap. Even though there is real power behind email campaigns, extra care must be given in order to avoid common pitfalls, or even breaking anti-spamming laws.
At Alterora we can help you promote your site effectively and grow your business on the internet by improving your acquisition, conversion and retention rates. We have the tools and the knowledge to support all your marketing needs without going over your advertising budget. No long term contacts, no broken promises - only measurable results.

April 9, 2002
Nearly everyone that plays baseball growing up spends time as an outfielder at one point or another. Such was the case with Ohio State catcher Joe Wilkins.
Wilkins, according to his mother Kathy, spent so much time in the outfield, he started picking dandelions to pass the time since the action very rarely took place in the outfield in youth baseball. So, she went to Joe's coach and asked that he be moved to a position that would help keep his attention better. The coach moved Joe behind the plate and with that, Joe began his career as a catcher at about the age of 10.
Now, Joe would not only be involved with every play, but every pitch as well.
The involvement with every pitch is what Wilkins likes the best. He likes the feeling of being in control.
"I like the feeling of having control of every pitch," Joe said after last Sunday's 9-2 victory over Northwestern, a game in which he hit his second home run of the season. "I like to have an influence on the game by calling the pitches."
In order to do that, though, Wilkins must have the respect and trust of the pitchers he catches for, which he has been able to earn through his hard work his first three years as a Buckeye.
"Joe does a great job calling pitches," said Nate Smith, who threw a one-hitter through seven innings to get the win over Northwestern and earn Big Ten Pitcher of the Week honors. "He knows what I throw best. I think he might actually read me better than my girlfriend."
The senior from Grove City, Ohio, has started all but five of the team's 21 games this season as the Buckeye backstop, though he has played in 19 games this season. Coming off the bench, Wilkins has been able to deliver a spark. Against Lafeyette in the Homestead Challenge, he entered the game in the seventh inning with Ohio State trailing 4-1. His sacrifice fly scored Doug Larason, which was the second of three Buckeye runs in the inning. He reached on a fielder's choice in the eighth that scored Christian Snavely, giving the Buckeyes the lead for good.
Offensively, Wilkins is batting .328 (20-for-61) and has batted in 18 runs. Five of his 20 hits have been for extra bases, including three doubles. Wilkins has a .976 fielding average with just three errors in 125 chances.

Thomas Jefferson's rise to fame began in 1774 when he wrote the "Summary View of the Rights of British America." This document made him a well-known voice in the argument for American independence from England.
In 1776, Jefferson was one of five people chosen by the Second Continental Congress to draft the Declaration of Independence. This helped him become well-known as one of the Founding Fathers of America. Jefferson also became well-known as an advocate for the separation of the church and state, an idea which he advocated in the Virginia Bill for Establishing Religious Freedom, and which was incorporated into the Constitution. Jefferson was also known as an advocate for free public education, another idea that affected the entire nation.
One aspect of Jefferson's fame was negative in his own lifetime: his escape from British troops during the Revolutionary War. Many saw the event as a cowardly refusal of Jefferson to stand his ground against the enemy, and Jefferson's reputation suffered due to this for the rest of his life. Fortunately, most of his later fame was from positive events, such as his serving as the American minister to France, serving as the Secretary of State for President George Washington and becoming the third President of the United States.
