How to "love life and see good days"
Did you know 1 Peter says you can "love life and see good days"? 🙂
Its a promise from God's Word,
but it is conditional.
It is NOT conditional upon anything my husband does or does not do,
It is completely conditional upon my following Jesus role model.
I used to be very bitter and resentful. Once I became aware of these deeply rooted sins, I really stuggled with them and battled them for a couple years… but the Lord helped me dig out from their snares.
That whole book of 1 Peter is very deep and provided much wisdom and guidance for me… Indeed Jesus is given as the role model (to both husbands and wives)…. Look at the calling and the promises
21For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
1 ¶ Likewise, ye wives, …
7 Likewise, ye husbands, …
8 ¶ Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:
9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.
I noticed the instructions for responding to verbal abuse (no insulting back, but blessing). And I noticed a "no guile" sandwich (2:22; 3:10) around the renowned Sarah role model of submission . For me- timid, wimpy, weak, doormat type that I was- it meant I had to start speaking up. God would not allow me to continue to be conflict avoidant and brush things under the rug in denial. It was scary and I was absolutely horrible at it at first… Takes practice.
In reflecting upon this passage and upon the role model of Sarah, I have come to identify with Sarah. She goes through a maturing process and comes to the place of having a great deal of influence and authority in her household. When Abram and Sarai are called, they don't know God deeply at first. The covenants progress, and the accounts of them hearing God's voice and seeing His miraculous interventions increase as they mature.
God's miraculous interventions. HE is the same God. I've am more aware of His miraculous interventions now having experienced them so vividly on occasion And I think its probably far far more often than I am aware but I was not tuned in to give Him the credit for that. In fact I think that- like Joseph in the Bible- even things that were meant for evil and hurt me very deeply, even those things God has turned around for good.

IC Realtime to Unveil Thermal Imaging, 4K Cameras
IP Panoramic Camera
At CEDIA, IC Realtime will be highlighting its more advanced, next-generation thermal imaging, corrosion-resistant, multi-sensor, and 4K cameras, and demonstrating its ICMyCloud cameras streaming to Amazon Echo Show.
Leveraging its background in serving the government with military-grade gear, IC Realtime has created a new line of thermal imaging IP-based cameras that incorporate onboard analytics, fire detection, and auto tracking. The cameras are available in traditional and pan/tilt/zoom varieties.
IC Realtime Marine CamerasThe next generation of IC Realtime corrosion-resistant cameras integrate Starlight image sensors, which grant users the highest levels of image sharpness and low-light performance. More models and options are offered over the previous line. This includes multiple bullet and dome styles, with a variety of lens options to accommodate different installation requirements.
IC Realtime has developed a 6-Megapixel 180-degree IP-based I-Sniper bullet and a 360-degree 8-Megapixel IP camera with an integrated auto-tracking 36X PTZ. The cameras provide superior video performance over a wide surveillance area where traditionally several point-and-shoot cameras would be required to catch multiple perspectives.
IC Realtime also will showcase eight all-new 4K cameras At the top of the series are a pair of dome and bullet cameras with resolution up to 12MP, notably higher than 4K resolution. All support the 4K (8MP) resolution standard at anywhere from 15 to 30 FPS (frames per second), depending on the model of the camera. A PTZ version is also available, granting users improved clarity and resolution, even with long-range zoom lens configurations.
IC Realtime Multisensor PTZ Camera
IC Realtime is the only professional surveillance company to integrate with Amazon Echo Show. Compatible models include the brand's suite of "ICIP" series IP cameras (68 models in total) as well as dozens of its standard- and high-definition cameras. The streaming takes place via IC Realtime's ICMyCloud storage service.
"Spanning the highest caliber video surveillance options ever to reach the CEDIA channel, to having the first professional video surveillance cameras to integrate with the do-it-yourself Amazon Echo Show, IC Realtime further cements its position as the number-one video surveillance brand in the channel, and for years to come," said IC Realtime CEO Matt Sailor.
All the new products are shipping now.

On The Road: Hong Kong
With my hire date of June 1st for the new 9-5 down in SoCal, I got a late start on the development of the first season. It is this reason that I am crazily trying to put together all the styles, fabrics, trims, fits, graphics and everything else involved with building a clothing line and I have basically crammed 3 or more months of development time into 5 weeks. Because of this situation I recently had the opportunity to go on a long voyage west of here, so far in fact that it became the 'Far East' and did it all alone. No boss. No development team. No one. Plus it was over the 4th of July holiday and who wants to spend time away for work over an extended weekend?....
While waiting for my air voiage to begin from LAX to Taipei, connecting to Hong Kong, I had some time to kill so I messed around with my phone camera. Here is the first of a few posts about my recent development trip to HK.
Class separation. The "haves" and the "have not so much."
A random escalator that takes you down to a big empty room with a bunch of chairs...
I enjoyed having my own TV with digital controls to choose my own movie and entertainment. Came in handy when we sat on the runway for 2 1/2 hours because the above engine had a little trouble. 13 hour trip turned into a 15 1/2 hour trip....
From Taipei to Hong Kong I rode on the 747
The first leg of the trip was on a
Boeing 777
. The engine is huge...
Made it to Hong Kong on July 4th at 10am. Checked into the hotel took a short break then off I went to the HK office to do some introductions and meeting of the folks I will be working with and then started working.....
More later.

Well it has been awhile and I wan't sure if I would blog again or if anyone with check the blog again.
My Elevation egroup adopted a family for Christmas. I immediately hit reply all to the group because I totally knew what I want to buy. I shopped around Amazon a bit to find something both boys could use. A tricycle was on the wish list.
I have been grinning from ear to ear over my purchase and in less then 24 hours it arrived on our doorstep. Amazing.
Now I just need my husband to assemble since I am sure the single 21 year old mother of two boys does not want to assemble:)

Update: All the latest All-Star additions
This year's All-Star selections were revealed last week, but as Tuesday's game draws nearer, the rosters have been in a state of flux.
Eight players have been added to the National and American League rosters over the past few days, replacing players who will be inactive due to injury or, in the case of two starting pitchers, chose not to take the mound Tuesday on just one day of rest.
This year's All-Star selections were revealed last week, but as Tuesday's game draws nearer, the rosters have been in a state of flux.
Eight players have been added to the National and American League rosters over the past few days, replacing players who will be inactive due to injury or, in the case of two starting pitchers, chose not to take the mound Tuesday on just one day of rest.
:: All-Star Game on FOX: Tuesday, Coverage begins 7 ET ::
In the event a player cannot or chooses not to participate in Tuesday's 86th All-Star Game presented by T-Mobile, it falls to the manager -- in this case, Ned Yost for the AL and Bruce Bochy for the NL -- to select an alternate for the vacant roster spot. If the player was elected a starter via the fan vote, the spot in the starting lineup then goes to whomever among the reserves received the next highest vote totals.
Here's a breakdown of the new additions so far:
American League:
• Angels left-hander Hector Santiago: Replaced A's right-hander Sonny Gray, who started Sunday afternoon and chose not to participate in the Midsummer Classic as he'd be pitching on just one day of rest.
• Twins second baseman Brian Dozier: Replaced Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista, who will receive treatment on his sore right shoulder over the All-Star break.
• Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner: Replaced Royals outfielder Alex Gordon, who is sidelined with a Grade 2-plus left groin strain and isn't likely to take the field again until September. Adam Jones will assume Gordon's spot in the starting lineup
Video: Gardner named AL All-Star
• Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira: Replaced Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera, who is on the disabled list with a calf injury. Albert Pujols will start in place of Cabrera.
National League:
• Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun: Replaced Matt Holliday, who's on the 15-day disabled list with left wrist discomfort and isn't due to return until sometime after the break. Dodgers rookie Joc Pederson will replace Holliday in the starting lineup.
• Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw: Replaced Nationals right-hander Max Scherzer, who started Sunday afternoon and chose to be inactive for the All-Star Game rather than pitch on one day of rest.
• Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki: Replaced Marlins second baseman Dee Gordon, who will miss the game after dislocating his left thumb Saturday. Tulowitzki's teammate DJ LeMahieu is slated to replace Gordon in the starting lineup.
• Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant: Replaced Marlins outfielder Giancarlo Stanton, who's recovering from June left hand surgery. Andrew McCutchen will take Stanton's starting spot.
During the All-Star Game presented by T-Mobile in Cincinnati on Tuesday, fans can once again visit MLB.com to submit their choice for the Ted Williams Most Valuable Player Award presented by Chevrolet. Voting exclusively at MLB.com, online and via their mobile devices in the 2015 All-Star Game MVP Vote presented by Chevrolet, the fans' collective voice will represent 20 percent of the overall vote that determines the recipient of the Arch Ward Trophy.
MLB.TV Premium subscribers will be able to live stream the All-Star Game via MLB.TV through FOX's participating video providers. Access will be available across more than 400 supported MLB.TV platforms, including the award-winning MLB.com At Bat app. MLB.com will provide extensive online coverage of the All-Star Week festivities, including the 2015 Gillette Home Run Derby presented by Head & Shoulders, part of Gatorade All-Star Workout Day on Monday. The Derby will feature a new format with brackets and timed rounds and will be broadcast live by ESPN and MLB.com beginning at 8 p.m. ET.
The 86th Midsummer Classic will be televised nationally by FOX Sports (coverage begins 7 p.m. ET), in Canada by Rogers Sportsnet and RDS, and worldwide by partners in more than 160 countries. ESPN Radio and ESPN Radio Deportes will provide exclusive national radio coverage of the All-Star Game. MLB Network and SiriusXM will also provide comprehensive All-Star Week coverage.

I got back from Latitude. Ace. I met Jasminepearson. I saw Jesus Quintanta. Mogwai made me feel ill. It's hot. I like poetry now.
What poetry did you see?
Penny Broadhurst?
How was Antony?
How was Patti Smith?
Who else was good?
How was the festival as a whole? Did it feel like a corporate attempt to replicate old-days Glastonbury? Or was it nice? Food expensive?
Not a boring thread. Tell all.
Thanks John!
Patti smith was great. Seemed very pleased to be playing.
Antony was fantastic, but why do people talk through the whole gig?
I didn't manage to catch Penny Broadhurst, unfortunatley.
I saw lots of poetry. It's probably the thing that really helped make the festival: Highlights were: Luke Wright, Joe Dunthorne, Polar Bear, Saul Williams (very heated set, intense).
It seemed very corporate for the setting and the things it was trying to achieve. It seemed like a fayre crossed with a major festival. There is alot of weird and wonderful things there though, like the woods, a big lake. It's ok. The Food was silly - £3 a lager, £4.50 a burger....
you can really see that it's a Mean Fiddler festival, can't you? ;)
That's the downside, but I guess there wouldn't be the bigger acts there if they weren't organising it. I didn't realise how loud Mogwai would be - It was great though. Part Chimp was a laugh. The Memory band (w/ adem) was amazing. They were soundtracking the Wicker Man.

Live Patch 1.16a: Ultimate Drains Instantly
This patch is the current Live patch as of October 10, 2017. You can read the full patch notes on the Overwatch Website.
Summary: Ultimate Charge is now spent immediately after activation. Pratically, this means that after pressing Q, the meter goes from 100% to 0% instantly. This change fixes kill Genji, Soldier, and other heroes that had a cast time on activation, where previously the ultimate charge would not drain - leading to heroes sometimes retaining 100% ultimate charge after being kill while activating the ultimate - such as a Genji dying while unsheathing Dragonblade. The new changes also fix some inconsistencies related with heroes being stunned while ulting, and also gives a buff to Sombra so that she can hack enemies while they cast their ultimate.
HERO UPDATESGeneral
- Ultimate charge is now immediately expended when a hero's ultimate ability is activated, instead of depleting over a short period of time
Until now, many ultimates drained the meter quickly over time, instead of instantly setting the meter to zero when the button was pressed. We originally designed it this way to ensure that players had the chance to use (at the very least) a little of their ultimate every time. However, we now feel that it causes too much frustration without adding many benefits.
With this patch, ultimate abilities will instantly set a hero's meter to zero when the button is pressed, which means stopping an enemy ultimate at any point after it's activated will ensure that it has been spent.
Another piece of feedback we often hear is that it's difficult to understand which abilities are interruptible and which are not. For clarity, most of Overwatch's ultimates fall into three basic categories:
- Transformation Ultimates:
These add significant passive benefits to your heroes, while allowing the use of weapons and abilities.
Ultimates in this category: Bastion's Configuration: Tank, Genji's Dragonblade, Mercy's Valkyrie, Soldier: 76's Tactical Visor, Torbjörn's Molten Core, and Widowmaker's Infra-Sight.
- Channeled Ultimates: These force your
hero into a new mode and render your other abilities unusable while
active. In most cases, these abilities can be interrupted at any point
to cancel them.
Ultimates in this category: Doomfist's Meteor Strike, McCree's Deadeye, Pharah's Barrage, Reaper's Death Blossom, Roadhog's Whole Hog, and Zenyatta's Transcendence (though, Zenyatta's ultimate renders him immune to interruptions).
- Cast-Time Ultimates: These abilities
require a small window of time to pass before they become effective. If
they're interrupted during this window, they are canceled.
Ultimates in this category: Ana's Nano Boost, D.Va's Call Mech and Self-Destruct, Hanzo's Dragonstrike, Junkrat's Rip-Tire, Lúcio's Sound Barrier, Mei's Blizzard, Orisa's Supercharger, Reinhardt's Earthshatter, Sombra's EMP, Symmetra's Shield Generator and Teleporter, Tracer's Pulse Bomb, and Zarya's Graviton Surge.
- Boosters
- An option to manually hold down D.Va's boosters rather than toggling them has been added under Options > Controls > D.Va
- Dragonblade
- No longer interrupted when Genji is stunned or hacked
- Supercharger
- Can now be interrupted when Orisa is stunned or hacked
- Hack
- Now interrupts the following ultimate abilities during their cast time: Ana's Nano Boost, Orisa's Supercharger, Mei's Blizzard, Reinhardt's Earthshatter, and D.Va's Call Mech

Loot Ninja was skeptical at first of a 40 hour RPG on the PSP, but Jeanne d'Arc delivers with both quick and deep gaming experiences. Because of the quick save features, the game allows you to play as long as you want, which is terrific feature for portable gaming. If you're an RPG fan, you should definitely check out Jeanne d'Arc, especially with it's $29.99 USD price tag.
this seems it would be a good game to play on a commuter train like here in NYC. would make the commute a lot faster.
This was one of the most fun PSP games I've played in a while. It's also one of the better SRPG's I've played in a while, which is nice.
Im about 20 hours in, and I have to say its the best RPG/Strategy game I've played all year. It's wonderfully done.
ya the game is very good, the skill combining is very addictive and the cutscenes are great. Just like the review says, the sounds arent great, neither are the spell animations, but I love the music. This is the kind of game that you can pause/sleep-the-device at anytime, except during the cutscenes. other than that it is a great SRPG for handhelds. The art is great and the skills are addicting. But if they fix up the NA release of FFT then I still think that the gameplay in that one is a bit deeper.
There are no random encounters, although you can Free Battle (although I've only had to do it 2 or 3 times, as the normal progression never ramps up too steeply). There are no job classes(but the skills kind of allow you to make your own style, aka a healing archer that gets a recovery shot). The game does include optional "tough" stages for you to test your mettle. Also it should be noted that your party consists entirely of named characters, and you will not be recruiting/tameing (atleast where I am at).
One cool thing that they do is give characters the ability to transform, which adds an extra layer of strategy (along with the burning auras). When you transform, the best way to relate the thought process, is like when you get kinged in checkers, as long as you kill someone every time you move, you can keep moving all over. So you can just have your other guys wear down everyone while one transformed character dances across the whole map killing everyone. It really pushes the strategy.
All in all its one of the best offerings to date on PSP. Aside from people with homebrew, this is definitely the best SRPG you can be playing right now on PSP.
I guess I'm about 5 hours in, I don't think I've figured out most of the item combo's etc, I keep getting items (like wood chop) that I can't use with any of my characters. Haven't figured out why yet, but I'll keep playing till I find out :)
Very good title tho.

Dave, good job on all of this stuff.
I'm sure it is time consuming, I was wondering if you are going to update the statistics soon. I know you do some of them but others on the home page and other tally sheets are way behind.

The badger, Pete, and I took a little field trip to the duck pond near my house this morning to feed the ducks some leftover bread i've been keeping in my freezer. I was a little bit worried about taking my bird dog to feed the ducks, but he acted fantastically. Hopefully our buffet of bread glammed up the duck's typical "supperclub" fare. (we determined it was supper club for ducks.... 3 female ducks, 3 mallards)

What a wonderful thing you are doing for the environment ! Love the website. Keep it up!
06/10/2013 5:33pm
This is a great website with fantastic information! It has certainly made me rethink how & when I use plastic bags. I didn't know plastic bags had this many negative effects on the environment. Thank you for your informative website!
06/12/2013 9:19pm
It is a very good website. I hope it gets the message to people who have no appreciation of the damage plastic bags can cause to the environment, in particular to wildlife.
06/18/2013 8:59pm
Great love it
06/18/2013 9:07pm
Your website is very informative and I loved reading about plastic bags.

Well done girls, I will stop using plastic bags now. Great website!!! 10/10!!!

Well done girls!

Excellent website demonstrating great skills and highly informative. Terrific choice of graphics. Share it widely, it is fantastic. Well done.
08/30/2013 4:51am
This is a great website out lining the destruction of plastic bags. What also needs to be acknowledged to people in this world is that it's NOT just plastic bags that are the problem but all sorts of rubbish. If you see someone that litters on the ground, stop them, nothing is more upsetting than simply driving and looking into the bushland on either side and seeing loads of rubbish hugging the ground and the nature around it.
08/30/2013 9:04pm
Great Website!
08/31/2013 1:11am
Well done girls! I was really impressed in how you have taken action on your research.
Your comment will be posted after it is approved.

By Paul Deeming, M.S., C.I., DBSM Services and Training Coordinator
The premiere Pro-Tactile Training event in September was well received and successful! Eight DeafBlind community leaders (three from Minnesota and five from four other states in the region) were trained by Pro-Tactile creators Jelica Nuccio and aj granda from Seattle in the three-day event to be qualified to provide training to others. In addition, 10 DeafBlind Minnesotans and 20 professionals who work as either interpreters or support service providers ("SSP") received training. Funding for this training was provided by the Minnesota Dept. of Human Services' Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services Division, the CATIE Center at St. Catherine University, and Vision Loss Resources/DeafBlind Services Minnesota. Special thanks to David Anderson and the staff at the Ramada Inn and to Angela Ziebol of DnA Travels, Inc. for inkind and financial supports.
Plans for additional trainings in Minnesota are under development by the project team and will be announced at a later date. It is important to note that Pro-Tactile tends to be very "organic" in nature; people who have learned the skills have begun using them and informally teaching it to others as they interact. The use of Pro-Tactile and the acceptance of the philosophy of Pro-Tactile will continue to spread within the community.

In his St. John's Day Address, June 2004, G.M. Edward Trosin of New York made the following announcement:
"Today, I am announcing a significant new addition to our Military Outreach Program. In order to provide some meaningful sign of support for our Brothers in Military Service, I am directing our Veterans Service Committee to pay the 2005 dues for each member of a New York State Masonic Lodge who is on Active Military Duty on January 1, 2005. Lodge Secretaries with qualifying servicemen on their rolls are encouraged to obtain and forward to the Veterans Service Committee certification and/or documentation identifying those members who are on Active Military Duty.
These brothers are making a great sacrifice to protect us and this land we call home. This small expression on our part will let them know that we appreciate the sacrifices they are making, and support their efforts wholeheartedly."

To honor Grand Master Robert (Bud) Erickson and to benefit Camp Courageous of Iowa, Olin Ancient Landmark Lodge #200 and Bellevue Lodge #51 are sponsoring the Cruisin' for Camp Courageous motorcycle run on July 25, 2004.

In the May 2004 issue MSA printed a story about Capt. Daniel Cederman's work in Iraq. Inadvertently we listed his home as Akron, Ohio. The correct hometown is Akron, New York. We apologize for this error.
Prayers for his safe return have been answered; the yellow ribbons marking his absence have been untied; and, after four months of serving his country in Iraq, Craig Ono, M.D., is back at work at Shriners Hospitals for Children - Honolulu.
The pediatric orthopaedic surgeon returned home to a Shriners-style hero's welcome. On May 10, hospital staff and patients presented Ono with their own version of a "Medal of Honor" in recognition of his selfless efforts on behalf of our country.
"The Honolulu hospital ohana (family) is very proud of Dr. Ono," said Tom Schneider, hospital administrator." He is our hero and we are very grateful for his safe return from active duty in Iraq."
Ono was sent to Iraq in December, 2003 to replace the team orthopaedic surgeon of the 945th Forward Surgical Team, an Army Reserve unit based at Fort Snelling, MN.
Dr. Ono said: "Strong families endure these separations. Fortunately we also have strong outside support from our parents, other relatives, and from the Honolulu Shriners Hospital."

Masonry in Michigan goes back to April 1764. The various Masonic bodies met in several quarters form 1764 to 1895, when the Masonic Temple Association of Detroit was formed and opened their first temple on Lafayette. The Association opened the present building at 500 Temple Avenue in November 1926. The Detroit Masonic Temple was placed on the State Register of Historic Places on January 24, 1964 and on the National Register on November 28, 1980. It is the largest Masonic Temple in the world with 550,000 square feet of floor space and 11,260,393 cubic feet of space. When it was built it was the only building in the world with three theatres under one roof. It has over 1000 rooms in total. The Masonic Temple is in classical Gothic architecture with facing of Indiana limestone which gives one the impression of the massive medieval castles of old. The seven lodge rooms are of different orders of architecture.
Now, for the first time in the 240 years that Masonry has been in Michigan, a foundation is being formed to preserve our Masonic Temple. Great progress has been made in a short period of time. It is very heart warming to see how many private citizens, who are not members of the craft, are excited that we are setting up a foundation. Wayne State University is going to send us graduate students to write grants to find money from other foundations. Lawrence Technical University is going to send us graduate architect students to study our building and offer suggestions. Preservation Wayne, the primary preservation foundation in Detroit, is more than willing and eager to help us. A "fund raiser" will be interviewed soon so we may start the greater task of funding the foundation. A web page is being planned and will be up and running soon.
We are announcing the forming of a foundation as a public charity, whose stated purposes are to preserve the architecturally significant portions of the Detroit Masonic Temple. Incorporation papers are being filed and applications are being made for a non-profit 501 (c) (3) tax status.
Anyone interested in more information may contact:
Detroit Masonic Temple Foundation, 500 Temple Avenue, Detroit, MI 48201-2693

The 1990s was not the best decade in fashion.
Track suits, leggings & over-sized shirts, scrunchies and backward baseball caps
made up the bulk of my wardrobe as a child.
Let's be honest, I was style icon.
For this Fashion Friday, I thought I would share a few photos
of my amazing fashion sense as a child.
You're welcome.
Talk about the epitome of street style: windbreaker pants, credit union t-shirt and lots of bling.
After a long day of chasing pigeons around the park, a girl needs her beauty rest.
I think I had a track suit for every day of the week. They made hide and seek difficult because you could hear me running from a mile away.
Because wearing your hat backwards is a lot cooler. And I look like I just
came back from a Fresh Prince casting call.
I think I was angry about my comb over.
Samantha and Emily did not escape the style of the decade either.
Samantha likes to think that the Spice Girls and Kathie Lee Gifford were
her fashion influences growing up.
And this is why we're friends.
Don't you wish you had known us as a child?
We were pretty hilarious.

About a year ago, I gave up my website and coaching business and decided I wanted to make art, instead. As time has passed, though, I've decided I'm ready to have a website again, to start sending regular newsletters again, and to write whatever feels right.
So. It's the same as my old one, www.jenpicicci.com. All my food and body posts are still up there, but now I'm writing exclusively about inner peace, how to feel better, and whatever else sounds good. I'd love it if you'd come hang out.

Playboy has featured this white chair before and whenever you see this piece of furniture, you know it can only be a good sign. They always have the hottest women posing on it – losing their clothes and rolling and writhing around on it. This scene with Shera Bechard is no different!
This buxom blonde Playmate looks delicious to begin with as she sits there wearing nothing more than a purple tank top. Her hands push it higher, letting those big fake breasts free! Once those babies are out, it's really hard to keep your eyes off of them. Of course, that's when the white chair comes into play. Her nude body twisting and turning, posing in many different positions that will surely have you on the verge of losing it by the time you get to the end of the gallery

Have you missed out on this week's news that has happened within Digital Marketing? Not to worry! We've summed up the most important things you should know about including Facebook's patent on a Modular device, GDPR compliance, new bid adjustment in Google AdWords and we say goodbye to Google's instant search results.
Facebook Patents Modular Device
If you are tired of replacing gadgets every few years, Facebook's modular device could be a potential solution. The social media network describes it as a modular "electromagnetic device" that could possibly extend the life cycle of traditionally closed system gadgets. At this stage, it's unclear what the device is or what the company is continuing to develop the idea, the Facebook modular smartphone is designed to eliminate the waste and expense of updating electronics. This device hasn't been described as a smartphone, though the list of modules includes hardware to give devices the functionality of a phone, along with a speaker, microphone, touch display, and GPS.
The main idea behind this patent is to eliminate the waste and expense of replacing devices entirely, with the ability to replace individual components. To read more visit Digital Trends.
One In Three Brits Happy To Opt-In On Brand Communications
More GDPR related news, a new study has found that one in three Brits would be likely or very likely to opt-in to brand communications online, which is comforting to those who have expressed concern about the new GDPR opt-in/opt-out regulations when it comes to communication. Interestingly, 37.5% of those who responded with 'likely – very likely' were male, with Londoner's the most likely to opt-in overall and Scotland the least likely to opt-in.
Though GDPR will be a little restrictive, it's good to know that consumer interest in brand communications is still strong.
Google Introduces A New Bid Adjustment In Adwords
Google has introduced a new bid adjustment in Adwords to help advertisers push call interactions on mobile devices. The bid addition is labelled Interactions (call adjustments) and can be used to raise bids on mobile devices to increase the number of times adverts with a call interaction are shown to mobile users. This will be a useful tool for those businesses who place a high value on inbound calls, especially those who then have the opportunity to cross sell their products. This new bid adjustment is only available on the newly launched Adwords interface and is one of many new features available to advertisers.
Further information on the new and existing bid adjustments can be found on Google's help page.
Google Says Goodbye To Instant Search Results
Google has decided to drop Google Instant after several years, citing that mobile search has been a big influence on the decision. The search feature, which brings up results as you type them, was lauded when it was released in 2010 for its intelligence and relevance, but this has gone downhill with the rise and changing search patterns used in mobile searches, which now accounts for over 50% of all Google searches.
Google hasn't completely ditched the fundamental ideas, the suggestions box is still very useful, but you'll now need to click or hit enter on those suggestions to complete your search and see the results. Google explained their reasoning to Search Engine Land on the 26th July, stating;
"We launched Google Instant back in 2010 with the goal to provide users with the information they need as quickly as possible, even as they typed their searches on desktop devices. Since then, many more of our searches happen on mobile, with very different input and interaction and screen constraints. With this in mind, we have decided to remove Google Instant, so we can focus on ways to make Search even faster and more fluid on all devices."

Up until about a week or so ago we referred to the boat as "the boat". It always felt awkward, like we wanted to say "home", but it wasn't home – it was the boat. Now, at the end of a long day, everyone says they want to go home – and that feels oh so nice.
I had to leave Pat and the kids for several days last week while I dealt with some outstanding issues in another state. I wondered how I'd feel coming back to the boat after having the luxuries of a car, hair dryer, shower, sleeping without thinking about my house moving, TV, etc. Would I dread coming back to the constant stress of the boat? When I stepped back onto the boat I realized it's home. I wanted my own bed and the rocking that comes with it, I wanted our uncertain and exciting routine, I realized how much I can't stand what is on TV, and most of all I realized I can't stand to be away from the kids and Pat. We are together almost non-stop and while at the beginning of this adventure that was a tough transition for me, it has become something I enjoy completely. Even though we each have our own cabins, we all tend to hang together during our downtime in the salon, cockpit, or snuggling in our bed (just like at home our bed is apparently superior to all other beds).
I know the kids so much better than I did when I sent them to school everyday. As an example, I remember only seeing Noah after soccer practice at night for about an hour before it was bedtime. When I asked about his day, I usually just got a "good". I had no real concept of what he was learning, what he knew, what he liked doing (other than soccer), what his academic strengths were, etc. Now I know he loves math and science, is interested in how things work and wants to be an inventor, he is incredibly curious, he likes snuggling his mama, and he really enjoys being called upon to do things that we would only ask of the "oldest".
While of course we have our moments, generally speaking I think we all really like being around each other so much. We know what makes each other tick, and the kids are really bonding. Noah and Grant had an on again off again relationship before we left and just the other day when Noah was asked who his best friend is he said it is Grant. I can't even begin to tell you how much that made my heart swell!
We've heard that families who have lived on boats together find it hard to go back to living in a big house with so much space between them. I can see that being the case for us.

Maserati's rival for the Porsche 911 could use a Ferrari-developed twin-turbo V6, according to a new report.
British magazine AutoExpress report that the new engine is being developed in both naturally-aspirated and turbo form for use also in the upcoming new Quattroporte, planned smaller saloon, and the Kubang SUV.
Previous reports have pointed toward the performance flagship using a version of the current GranTurismo MC Stradale's 331kW 4.7 litre V8, though a theoretically more efficient forced-induction V6 is plausible.
Still yet to be confirmed for production, the model is expected to reintroduce the 'GranSport' badge, and be based on the upcoming Alfa Romeo 4C's composite chassis.
The two-seat, mid-engined platform is likely to be enlarged for the bigger-engined Maserati version, though the target weight is said to be a relatively lithe 1200kg.
Maserati CEO Harald Wester is understood to be eyeing the 911 as a direct rival, with ambitions to defeat the German hero on price and performance.
If given the green light, the 'GranSport' is not expected to reach production until 2015, after the launch of Quattroporte and Kubang models.

The Peacock is different from the widely used Fasano and Franceschini test (1987). The latter is a variant of the KS test, invented to alleviate the computational intensity of the former. The two R-functions implement the original definition of the KS test given by Peacock (1983).
The two functions: peacock2 and peacock3, provided in this package are self-explanatory and their usage is straightforward.

By S.M. Yasin
I was the first official witness of the "alleged" mass rape in Kunan-Poshpora by the Indian army in 1991 as I was the district magistrate of Kupwara then. And as such, I was recently invited to speak at a function organised by a group of women to show solidarity with the rape victims on the 23rd anniversary of Kunan-Poshpora.
There I repeated what I had written to the government 23 years ago, when I first visited the two villages.
My stating of the facts again has perhaps not gone well with the former chairman of the Press Council of India (PCI) B.G. Verghese, who was the first to give a clean chit to the soldiers after the crime. In his write-up 'The many stories of Kunan-Poshpora' (Indian Express, March 14), Verghese has tried to create confusion by raising many questions about my conduct as Kupwara DM.
On March 3 that year, I was informed by the chowkidar of the village about the mass rape at Kunan-Poshpora by the soldiers during a cordon and search operation. It was winter and Kashmir was under a thick blanket of snow. The official machinery was defunct and the roads had not been cleared. Only next morning, I walked down almost 10 km to reach Kunan-Poshpora. The village was in shock and trauma and 23 women stated before me that they were raped by the soldiers.
I immediately informed my boss (then divisional commissioner Wajahat Habibullah) about it on telephone and submitted a confidential, written report a day later. In my report, I had suggested that a proper inquiry be conducted and action taken as per the law.
On March 18, Habibullah visited Kunan-Poshpora. I accompanied him as the local officer in charge of the district. He talked to villagers and more women came forward. In his article, Verghese has argued that since the numbers varied, the story is a concoction and propaganda at the behest of militants.
Had Verghese stayed for a little more time in Kashmir during his investigation, he would have surely learned a bit about Kashmiri culture and how difficult, culturally and socially, it was for these women to come forward and say to a group of men that they had been gangraped by the armymen. It is a disgrace to suggest that these women would concoct such stories. In fact, the fact-finding team of retired Jammu and Kashmir chief justice, Mufti Bahaudin, and his team of highly reputed ex-bureaucrats and lawyers too concluded that the mass rape was committed by the soldiers.
Verghese has questioned the delay in my visiting Kupwara and in the medical examination of the victims. There was no delay on my part. I visited the villages the next day. Yes, why did it take the villagers several days to inform me? The village was in complete shock for several days, and hesitant in telling people what had happened to them and their women. The snow too had curtailed movement.
Medical examination? When I submitted a report to the divisional commissioner, I was expecting the government would order an inquiry as suggested by me. It did not happen. I was slowly sidelined to pave the way for a cover-up. So who would have conducted the medical examinations?
Verghese has gone a step further and lied blatantly by saying that he and another member of the PCI investigating team visited Konan, Trehgam and Kupwara "accompanied by the tehsildar, Trehgam" on June 8-9. For his information, there was no tehsildar in Trehgam. The village has been declared a tehsil headquarters only last month, and the tehsildar is yet to be posted there.
Verghese has suggested that I should be summoned by the army. If summoned, I would not hesitate to tell the truth, to tell what I saw as the first official witness of the incident.
During my speech at the function organised on Kunan-Poshpora anniversary in Srinagar, I said what I had submitted in my report to the divisional commissioner. Verghese came to my residence and was in a hurry. "DC sahib, yeh kya aaph nay likha hai. Koi rape nahin huwa hai. Yeh kya laga rakha hai? (DC sahib, what have you written? No rape has happened. What are you going on about?)," he told me. My response was simple: "Please don't say this. I have submitted my report and it has happened." He didn't say anything further and left.
Yes, I was threatened, but by a senior army officer. "You should not have done this," he told me. When I responded that your soldiers should not have done this, he left saying: "Dekhtay hain, aap bi yahan hain aur hum bhi… (Let's see. You are here and so are we)".
I began by using the word "alleged" about the mass rape; it is only because the judicial processes are yet to be completed. Personally, I have no doubt that the rapes were committed. I was a witness to the suffering of those women and I can neither lie to them nor to myself.
It is a shame that even after 23 years, Verghese has only sought to defend his cover-up. The only way forward in this case is to follow the laid down procedures of the law. How can a controversial clean chit by a journalists' body from New Delhi replace a proper police investigation or a judicial inquiry into a crime of such proportion?

Sisterhood weekend inspo...
Just popping back as promised to share the other two layouts that I completed on our recent fabulous mountain Retreat. This first page is from a class that I commenced at the Create By The Lake Retreat back in July. This was a class taught by the beautiful Lauren Hender using lots of colourful Flutterby Designs products and multiple photos....eeek! I thought that the only way I was going to get this finished was to complete it for the challenge set by Lizzy Hill at last weekend's Retreat, criteria: use at least 4 photos. So here 'tis:
Just check out the beautiful Flutterby Designs Flair and wooden embellies! Soooo gorg!
This was really out of my comfort zone with the bright colours and multiple photos, but Lauren's design was very easy to achieve. Happily I think I'm becoming more comfortable with using lots of bright colours :)
The second layout that I finished whilst away was a challenge set by Mary Bennetts, criteria: use a song lyric or quote somewhere on the layout. I chose this lovely quote by Carson McCullers, however at the time of printing the photo I had no idea who the author was, hence why it states "Unknown" on the photo, but happily I've since found out. "We are torn between nostalgia for the familiar and an urge for the foreign and strange. As often as not, we are homesick most for the places we have never known." This is one of my favourite travel quotes, and I have many in my collection :)
This is another travel photo of DD on her recent trip to Thailand. Gee I hope she keeps travelling so I can keep scrapbooking! :D or better still, I hope I can keep travelling!
I covered the title with Pearl Pen. The papers are a mixture of G45, Echo Park, Stampin up with a bit of hessian thrown in. The lovely wooden compass is from Kaisercraft.
So that's it for the moment. Thanks for dropping by once again and I'll be back next week with the new Paper Flourish October Kit Club projects.

I am also challenged with brights and multiple photo's, but you have created a beautiful layout, those flairs are gorgeous ! My fave would have to be the travel layout though, it is just beautiful. Love the quote and how you have printed it on the photo, your colour palette and the photo on a angel, LOVE itReplyDelete
Two fab layouts Jo... Your weekend away with the girls looked fabulous. SO jealous. Glad you managed to get stuff done. One of the reasons that I don't like single layouts is that they often only have one photo and that is such a waste for me. I like to use loads of photos on both singles and doubles I think that is why I love PL... the top one is gorgeous with all that fabulous colour too. Sometimes it is nice to go out of your comfort zone - we often find things that we love :D The travel layout is just so pretty and I love that quote too. Perfect.ReplyDelete
Isn't it just the best thing to gather with your tribe and play? Love a scrappy retreat with some like minded addicts! Glad you got the multiple photo layout finished, even though it was outside your comfort zone. I share your passion for travel and collecting travel quotes. The title of your travel page is perfect, as is the map background. TFSReplyDelete
I ADORE both these pages.... I think the multi photo one works so well & that 'map' one.....seriously GORGEOUS. Even more so in real life. Which I was fortunate to see! I LOVE your scrappy style!!!!ReplyDelete

It is no surprise that I am a fire
raging without any borders, consuming land
at a heartbreaking rate, devouring the
loose timber within, exhuming the heat that
abides in things, this polished ruby of flame.
What is shocking is the spark that smolders.
Everpresent & the abundunce of dry
kindling that propels me. It is God's breath in
my nostrils feeding it, needing his lazy touch.

Purpose: :
To examine the natural history of anisometropia and its association with amblyopia in a population-based random cluster sample of 6- and 12-year-old students.
Methods: :
The Sydney Myopia Study randomly selected 55 primary and secondary schools, stratified by socio-economic status (SES); 4069 children (70% response rate) were examined. Cycloplegic autorefraction, LogMAR visual acuity, cover tests (cover/uncover alternate, prism bar) at near and distance were performed. Anisometropia was defined by the spherical equivalent [SE = spherical refraction + (0.5 X cylindrical refraction)] and an astigmatic cylinder (AST) difference between the right and left eye of >1.0 dioptre. Amblyopia was defined as best corrected visual acuity in the worse eye less than 6/12 Snellen equivalent and/or a two line difference between the two eyes. Cases included those present at time of examination, as well as those reported by parents, and confirmed by a history of occlusion therapy.
Results: :
Anisometropia was present in 3.8% (n = 155) of the population and of these 31.4% were amblyopic. There was a significant difference in the prevalence of anisometropia in the 6-year-old (2.5%) compared with the 12-year-old (4.7%) children (p = 0.0002). There were more amblyopic cases in the 6-year-olds (41.9%) than the 12-year-olds (27.9%).The number of amblyopic cases significantly increased with increasing degrees of anisometropia in 1.0D steps >1.0D (23.7%), >2.0D (46.7%), >3.0D (66.7%) and >4.0D (80.0%) (p < 0.0001).There was a marked increase in cases of amblyopia when astigmatic refraction increased from 2.0D to 3.0D (10.8% to 50.0%, respectively), a trend that continued with increasing refractive difference (p < 0.0001). The most frequent type of anismometropia was myopic anismoetropia (46.8%) and the least common was astigmatic anisometropia (21.2%).
Conclusions: :
Our study showed that the prevalence of anisometropia was higher in the older than the younger group. 1D difference of anisometropia significantly increased the risk of developing amblyopia. Astigmatic anisometropia degree of 3Ds seemed to show a marked increase in the number of amblyopic cases.

Haunting for Christmas03:28
Make-up on the catwalk this season is all about being bold, strong and different. Make-up artists are taking the "cute and cuddly" and turning it around a full 180. Don't believe me, talk to Costume National, Givenchy, John Paul Gaultier, Yohji Yamamoto, they're all going to the dark side. Helping to bring a darker, more haunting essence to their collections designers have opted to reveal a stronger, more sinister look for their fall winter collections.
Who knew that Lady Gaga would go to the dark side? Well, everyone, honestly would you expect her to do a hot pink bottle of perfume, no, neither. Her 'Fame' perfume bottle is one of the most bone chilling capsules on the market, and would make an interesting gift for Christmas, I don't advise it, but for the Lady Gaga fans out there, this would be the gift that surpasses them all. With the haunting veil of mist that would be sprits out with each finger push, would render only surprise when the scent is released. The smell that jets from the bottle is strong, but satisfying it's exactly what you would expect Ms. Gaga to exude, it's bold and profound, just like the musician herself.
Dark and sinister is not for the faint of heart, sure it may seem gothic, but quite the contrary; it's optimistic and interesting. Taking inspiration from Siouxsie Sioux in 1983 and expelling it from a bottle is exactly what Gaga has done. John Paul Gaultier expressed his alluring values with clothing for this winter's collection it was all about breaking the boundaries and damning Santa Clause and all his elves to the dark side. It's always darkest before the dawn, am I right?

My husband and I love sushi. It's a simple fact. Another fact is he had a birthday on the 14th. And I made him a cake yesterday. :-) It was actually supposed to get done on the 16th (I have the ability to postpone birthdays until I have the spare time to make a cake... It's my super power. :-)), but like I mentioned in my last post, I caught a cold, and after being sick for the third time, well... I had just kind of lost all ability to care about gathering enough energy to do much of anything, really. So I'm finally feeling better, despite a head full of... Gross things that have no place in a discussion about cake. :-) My point is, Brandon finally got his birthday. And it was chock full o' sushi goodness.
He had mentioned (months ago, right after we went to the theatre and saw the latest Harry Potter movie) that he just HAD to have a Harry Potter cake. Months later, I asked him again, and after he said, "Dragon Age!!" (his new obsession, an XBOX 360 game) and I said, "Uhh, I don't know enough about that.. Pick something else." He decided that Harry Potter would still be OK to do. But, as it wasn't something he was currently super into (currently as in these next 5 minutes before he finds some other shiny object that catches his attention ;-)), I thought I'd try to think of something else to do. And I settled on sushi.
It was actually super fun to make... The cake part was really simple-- He wanted carrot cake, so I just baked a regular 2-layer 8" round carrot cake, and iced it with cream cheese icing. I airbrushed it golden brown & dark brown, to kinda resemble wood, like how some sushi restaurants serve their dishes.
The sushi rolls were made out of rice krispy treats. I made it regularly (Rice Krispy cereal, marshmallows, butter) and spread/flattened it out on some parchment paper to the thickness of about the thickness of sushi rolls. I trimmed off the excess around the edges so I had a big rectangle shape. I was able to make two different rolls out of the rectangle I had. I used fruit roll ups on the rolls that had the "seaweed wraps" on the insides of the rolls, and I used fondant for the rolls with the "seaweed wraps" on the outsides. The insides I had icing (cream cheese), green M&M's (avacado), and gummy worms (the fish). I used the extra Rice Krispy scraps to make some nigiri sushi (the oblong lumps of rice with a piece of raw fish laying across the top).. I made some "tuna nigiri" and "salmon nigiri," both using fondant for the raw fish part.
I also made some fondant ginger, wasabi, and chopsticks. :-)
