" My experience with Pyramid Meditation "
I have been meditating for the past 35 years for about 20 minutes and have been feeling relaxed and peaceful.
Recently, through an email from Mr. E.S. Jagdeeshwar, Advocate from Nellore I came to know about the website of pssmovement.org and also about Pyramid Meditation. Advocate Jagdeeshwar was kind enough to give me details about Pyramid meditation.
I then called Pyramid Meditation Centre in Mumbai and Master Satyanarayana got in touch with me and asked me to attend the Morning Meditation at Mulund Pyramid. I reached the Mulund Pyramid on 7th April 2013 and enjoyed the one hour meditation under the Pyramid under the able guidance of Ms. Sheela Mehta, Head of the Pyramid Meditation Centre at Mumbai. Her melodious song during the meditation, increased the power of meditation and made us more relaxed.
I did not realize that I had meditated for one hour as I am used to meditating for twenty minutes only. I do not know how the one hour went off. When I got up, I was fully charged, energized and was feeling very fresh. The body which was feeling heavy during the initial period of meditation had become light.
I was fortunate enough to meet Brahmarshi Patriji on the 15th of April 2013, within a week of my joining the Pyramid Meditation. I was stunned by his simplicity and the affection he showed towards all of us. He came and met each one of us and also gave us the opportunlty to speak. I thought he will deliver a big lecture on Meditation. He straight away asked us to close our eyes and by playing his melodious flute, while we were in deep meditation, took us to another world. Whatever doubts we had about meditation the first round, everything automatically cleared in the second round of meditation. It was also amazing to hear the Masters and other speakers who have benefitted immensely from Pyramid Meditation.
Immediately after this, I was again fortunate to attend the three day work shop on Spiritual Science Teacher Training and Certificate Course conducted by Senior Master Sivaramappa from Bangalore on 21st to 23rd April. The work shop was conducted at PEM high School & Junior College, Bhiwandi and no words to praise the hospitality of the host Dr. Manohar Pamu, Chairman of the College. The workshop was a total transformation for all the participants. We were immensely benefitted from the lectures of Senior Master Sivaramappa who has a very vast knowledge of the subject. The love and affection that vibrated class room cannot be written in words. I could feel how Brahmarshi Patriji has founded an organization which has " Unconditional Love " as the main motive.
I have now started meditating daily with a Pyramid cap for minimum one hour. I have also bought a 2 feet by 2 feet Pyramid in the workshop. I am now feeling confident that as I increase the time and quality of meditation, my third eye will open and give me more and more spiritual experiences and insight.

Men's wellness campaign to start in Wudinna
Wudinna will host the first in a series of events as part of a campaign across Eyre Peninsula this year to promote men's wellness.
Hosted by Mentally Fit EP, under the West Coast Youth and Community Support (WCYCS) banner, the Rotary Men's Wellness Campaign will see a series of photographic exhibitions take place in 10 Eyre Peninsula towns, including Wudinna, Elliston and Streaky Bay.
Community development officer for Mentally Fit EP Lain Montgomerie said the idea came about from Jo Clark of WCYCS, thinking of a way to promote better mental health and to support men in the region, as well as encouraging them to speak openly and promoting the idea of seeking help.
She said the campaign aimed to address a gap in mental health.
"We found more needed to be done for men who are slipping through the cracks and discussed how to reach the group at risk, being those in poor mental health and not accessing services," she said.
"The idea was to create a photographic campaign utilising men in the region to be ambassadors to promote men's wellness.
"We'll be heading to 10 locations setting up exhibitions and in each town there will be an opening night with guest speakers."
Ms Clark, Wudinna's Shaine Dupree and South Australia's mental health commissioner Chris Burns will speak at the Wudinna opening.
Ms Montgomerie said it was an opportunity to come together and have a chat with friends and other community members about any issues.
Wudinna will host the first exhibition from Friday, March 23 at the Gawler Ranges Cultural Centre's main gallery, with photos by Eyre Peninsula photographer Robert Lang.
It is a free event to attend and will start at 6pm, with professional support at the opening if needed.
Exhibitions will remain open in a town for two weeks.
The exhibitions will be of local men which Ms Montgomerie said were taken in a place where they felt comfortable and happy – including on the farm, with cars, at the beach and in a workshop.
Ms Montgomerie said the main aim was to break down the stigma of mental health issues and discussions about it.
"We want to break that stigma and encourage people to talk to each other and say it is ok to do so," she said.
"We also want people to know about the services which are available – people in the country dwell on the fact there aren't many services, but there are some around that we want to make known to people.
"It is also about sending the message that people have the tools to keep themselves well."
She said this type of campaign, the first run by Mentally Fit EP, was important.
"We are hearing too many stories of people taking their own lives and we see people who are unwell around us," she said.
"It is important to have these campaigns happening and it is good to see events around mental health popping up around the place."
The exhibitions will return to the West Coast later in the year with Elliston and Streaky Bay the venues.
Elliston will host their opening night on Wednesday, September 5 and Streaky Bay will be on Friday, September 7.
"Matt Runnels is speaking at Elliston and Streaky Bay, he is a director of Mindfull Australia who has experience of mental illness and suicide attempts, so he will be sharing his story with the hope to promote wellness," Ms Montgomerie said.

Do you want to get skinny fast?
Most people try getting skinny with super-restrictive low-fat diets.
But cutting all fats out of your diet won't keep you full or give you needed nutrients.
Instead, try to add healthier foods into your daily routine, especially foods with saturated fat.
This kind of fat is better for you, and it helps add nutrition to your diet.
The best part is that foods with good fats tend to be healthier fruits, veggies, and nuts.
So even switching up your diet for a few of these nutritious foods will help you shake up your diet and get skinny fast.
If you can take time every day to include one of these foods, your body will thank you.
Ranging from breakfast foods to lunches to healthy snacks for your afternoon, these choices will change your routine for the better.
Try switching in just a few of these foods for your typical meals and see how you feel.
Your energy will increase, and you'll find it easier to get skinny fast.
Get Skinny Fast With These 17 Fatty Foods
1. Avocados
Instead of the carbs you usually find in fruits, avocados pack in healthy fats instead.
They do have plenty of calories, but they come in the form of these healthy fats that boost your energy and add in nutrients.
2. Cheese
In addition to the high calcium content of some cheese, they contain plenty of good fats.
While it wouldn't be healthy to have cheese for every meal, having it as a treat won't just be tasty, it'll help boost your diet.
3. Dark chocolate
It's not just the antioxidants that make chocolate great.
It's the healthy serving of cocoa (make sure to get at least 70% cocoa content in your bars) and the corresponding healthy fats that come with that chocolate.
4. A whole egg
People used to avoid whole-egg omelets because of the high cholesterol found in egg yolks.
But that advice is a little misguided.
Because of the high protein and healthy fats, eggs are nutritious and help keep you full.
This is great when you try to get skinny fast.
5. Salmon
People who try to avoid red meats might already eat salmon to get protein, but salmon offers a lot more.
The high levels of healthy fat lower your risk for heart disease and help you absorb more nutrients.
6. Almonds
The next time you want to have a crunchy snack, reach for a handful of almonds.
These healthy nuts contain plenty of healthy fats, along with a good serving of vitamin E.
The extra fiber also helps you to get skinny fast.
7. Chia seeds
Even though they're just becoming popular, chia seeds have been around for a long time.
They pack a lot of healthy fat, and additionally they give you a lot of the nutrition you can find in fish—that's great news if you're tired of seafood.
8. Olive oil
Cooking with olive oil instead of vegetable oil or canola oil has its benefits.
The healthy fats in olive oil and its antioxidants make up several of the best diets around.
Make sure to add it to your food.
9. Coconut oil
If you're tired of using olive oil, try to add some coconut oil to your diet.
It's great to use when you plan to bake, because it contains better fats and more nutrients than butter.
Try it out if you want to get skinny fast!
10. Full-fat yogurt
Instead of grabbing some flavored yogurt, reach for full-fat Greek yogurt instead. The thick consistency is pleasant, and the fat levels help keep you energized when you eat it for breakfast.
11. Peanut butter
Combined with a high-fiber food like apples, peanut butter can make a great snack during the day.
Just make sure to get peanut butter without lots of added sugar, which can't help you get skinny fast.
12. Almond butter
Sometimes peanut butter gets a little boring, but almond butter has plenty of the same nutrients.
Feel free to add it to your diet so you can keep up your fiber intake without sacrificing taste.
13. Black olives
These tasty additions to your diet pack in some healthy fat and plenty of nutrients.
They're easy to add to salads or sprinkle over main dishes.
Just a handful during your day (without added salt) can help as you try to get skinny fast.
14. Flaxseed
These seeds are a good choice if you don't like the texture of chia seeds.
Both have a lot of protein, and flaxseeds are easy to eat in ground form.
Add the powder to smoothies or sprinkle it on your meals.
15. Sesame seeds
They don't just come on bagels!
Adding sesame seeds to your dishes will help keep your heart healthy.
They keep your cholesterol at stable levels, and your overall health at a good place.
Try some today.
16. Grass-fed beef
If you just can't give up red meat, at least spring for grass-fed beef when you do choose to eat meat.
That way you'll get better levels of healthy fats and the nutrients that are found in animals raised in a more natural way.
17. Cashews
Another good snack when you're craving sweets is a handful of cashews.
They can help you get a satisfying crunch and a little taste of sugar.
Thankfully, the healthy fats make this nut a wise choice when you're working to get skinny fast.

Description: The Space Shuttle Enterprise (NASA Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-101) was the first Space Shuttle orbiter. It was built for NASA as part of the Space Shuttle program to perform test flights in the atmosphere.
It was constructed without engines or a functional heat shield, and was therefore not capable of spaceflight. On September 17, 1976, the first full scale prototype was completed.

If you are getting a pair of pants or a skirt hemmed up a little there are some simple steps for what to do.
- Put the garment on
- Have a friend (NOT YOU) put safety pins places like the side seams and the front and back to show where you want the finished hem.
- Then take them to the seamstress and be done with it.
- These are the types of meetings that you should COME ALONE! Having a crew with you is just a bad idea in so many ways
- First you need to understand that the seamstress will want you to put the garment on so she (or he) can see how it lays on your body and where adjustments need to be made.
- You MUST be honest with what you want! Do you want your boobs to stand up and say hi again? Maybe you want to lie about that back fat not actually being there. Or that beer belly what beer belly.
- When she starts pinning HOLD STILL! If you fidget like a small child you might get stuck.
- Sometimes the process of making alterations changes other things in the dress and when you return for a fitting you have to make little tweeks. This is normal don't panic!
Getting things altered is a tricky situation and requires skill and time. If you are not happy then you need to say so at that time! DO NOT call the lady later and talk about how you weren't happy! Most seamstresses will work to get things fixed so you are happy right away. If you have body issues then you need to tell her that too because what you see in the mirror is very different from what is actually there too.
I want all of my customers to be happy. I strive daily to do whatever it takes to make sure that everyone walks away with exactly what she wants. I have made things for ladies I have never seen face to face and they fit perfectly. However altering a finished garment that was made by someone else is a more detailed process and can be difficult too. Think of it this way it is like taking apart a car engine to fix something and when you put it back together it has to run. The 15 billion layers of fabric are that in depth.
I hope this has been helpful to those of you that may be getting garments altered in your future.

It�s been a rocky road for The Division. After months of post-launch support exacerbating problems and pushing away its player base, the game needed a major shakeup to get people back on board. It successfully pulled that off with Update 1.4, delaying the game�s DLC plans to instead fix the biggest issues with the game and bring it back on track.
Now it�s come the time for Ubisoft Massive to look forward, and it�s done so by releasing the game�s next expansion, Survival. While it isn�t as big as the previous one, Underground, Survival is still a great bit of DLC for newcomers, veterans and returning players alike. More...

Beware of the Marina Playboys?
Dear Page Larkin,
Melissa, my BFF, just told me that my former "boyfriend" is doing the Marina bar scene has turned into "Mr. Tinder."
A friend of a friend told her she had seen him on Tinder and he had been seen at various Marina and Union Street watering holes with a different woman, every week. This guy, Alex played me like a fiddle. We, too, met on Tinder. He was cute and flirty and claimed to being way over his divorce.
We had drinks at my favorite pub, and I fell like a ton of bricks. I was seduced by his flattery. He gazed at me told me I was beautiful and later he commented on how sexy I appeared. Prince Charming laid it on thick and, for some reason, I was buying.
This popular pub is famously noisy and one must lean in to hear. Our knees were touching under the tiny table. As he looked into my eyes, he reached for my hand. (Electricity.) Then he asked if he could kiss me. All this is before we've even had our drinks served
I'll cut the chase and just say I fell fast and hard for this guy. I have met a parade of guys only looking for a one-night stand. Been there done that. This was different. He was sincere. After a few drinks, and a heart to heart conversation, and disclosing we were both looking for more than just one night stand – I went back to his place.
None of my girlfriends were shocked when I told them that Prince Charming sent me a text the next day telling me how wonderful I am.
Then he lamented he was still grappling with the divorce and all that entailed.
Again a steady stream of compliments came the clinker: let's be friends. (Wait for it). With benefits.
I cancelled Tinder. I cancelled Alex the Playboy who is sowing his so-called Newly Divorced oats… corn and tripe. Please warn all the girls out there.
Dear Ursula,
Thank you for sharing your experience. It must have been painful for you. You are lucky to have girl friends who look out for you.
Unfortunately, your story is not a new one.Beware the wolf in sheep'sclothing and be more discerning before you leap into bed with anyone

What I'm Wearing

Yes, I agree with you with the dressing up. I'm usually in comfy jogging pants and T, but when I put on 'cooler' clothes I feel more arty & creative!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 26, 2010 at 9:07 AM
I totally feel the same way! I spend more on jammies & sweats than any other items in my closet! I do shower daily ;-)ReplyDelete
I dressed up today for the first time in forever. Nothing as nice as your dress. Just my regular pants but a nice top and a necklace. The girls each asked me why I was so dressed up. It deflated me for a second until I realized that the answer could be as simple as "because I wanted to." I'm looking forward to seeing what your next find brings you.ReplyDelete
hello sweet girl :)ReplyDelete
ah yuck sorry about the A/C & the bucket + glass thief ... some people should get a life ! :(
you look too adorable in this dress ! and don't get me started on the mustaches eheh
You ate just too cute Mrs. K! That store sounds awesome!ReplyDelete
Great dress!! I love a good thrift store. I'm a firm believer in them, have found some awsome things over the years.ReplyDelete
So true about having to dress up to feel in a more productive mood. I have to do the same, if I wear my pjs all day I don't get anything done.ReplyDelete
Love the dress, and the green on the walls is just fab!
Your thoughts are always, always welcome. Just know that I appreciate each and every one of you even if I don't always have the chance to respond.

Pirate Party member admits murder, commits suicide
BERLIN -- Berlin prosecutors say a well-known member of Berlin's Pirate Party confessed in a letter to killing a younger man before taking his own life.
Spokesman Martin Steltner said Thursday that 44-year-old Gerwald Claus-Brunner appeared to have slain the 29-year-old for "highly personal reasons," but declined to elaborate.
Steltner says Claus-Brunner killed the man, whose name wasn't released, on Sept. 15 in the victim's Berlin apartment, then moved the body to his own flat.
Both bodies were found on Monday.
The Pirate Party was founded a decade ago with a focus on internet freedom. It took only 1.7 percent of the votes in Berlin's state election Sunday, losing its seats in parliament.
Authorities say Claus-Brunner, who represented the party in the state parliament, likely died before election results were announced.

What: CryoLife (NYSE:CRY) is up 14% at 12:30 p.m. EDT after reporting second quarter earnings and increasing its 2016 guidance Tuesday.
So what: Revenue increased 33% year over year, but that was primarily due to CryoLife's acquisition of On-X Life Technologies earlier this year. Subtracting out the recently acquired products, sales were up just 2.9% year over year.
While that internal growth doesn't sound so great, it includes declining sales of its HeRO Graft product line, which was sold to Merit Medical Systems (NASDAQ:MMSI) in February. As part of the sales agreement with Merit Medical, CryoLife agreed to manufacture HeRO Graft products for up to six months, after which Merit Medical will take over.
This quarter also includes an unfavorable year-over-year comparison for ProCol Vascular Bioprosthesis, which CryoLife sold to LeMaitre Vascular (NASDAQ:LMAT) in March, resulting in no ProCol sales in the second quarter.
If you subtract sales of both those sold products and add On-X's revenue generated by its previous owner to CryoLife's second quarter 2015 revenue, sales were up a not-too-shabby 9% year over year.
With improving margins, adjusted earnings looked even better, increasing to $0.13 per share, compared to $0.04 per share in the year-ago quarter.
Now what: Management raised 2016 revenue guidance slightly and now expects sales of $180 million to $182 million, up from previous guidance of $178 million to $180 million. Likewise, the bottom-line guidance was ratcheted upward with adjusted earnings now expected to fall in the $0.32 to $0.34 per share range compared to the previous range of $0.29 to $0.32 per share.

|[jira] [Commented] (DERBY-5671) NsTest does not run on trunk do multiple issues stemming from concurrency improvements
|Mon, 26 Mar 2012 12:40:28 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5671?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13238337#comment-13238337 ] Rick Hillegas commented on DERBY-5671: -------------------------------------- Hi Kathey, I am working on fixing the correctness problems with sequence generators. I should have a candidate solution ready for review soon. After that, I will be ready to discuss what we should do about identity columns. There are a number of issues in this area, linked to derby-5495, and they need to be addressed before we release 10.9. That includes the sequence/identity problems with nstest. Thanks. > NsTest does not run on trunk do multiple issues stemming from concurrency improvements > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-5671 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5671 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: Bug > Components: SQL > Reporter: Kathey Marsden > Priority: Critical > > As I understand it at least since September 30 of last year, the system test NsTest has been broken on trunk. In these six months the test has not been runnable, so we do not know if new issues have been introduced with sequence generators or most importantly with auto-increment columns that are now based on them, which many, many applications rely upon. Even if the known problems are fixed later in the 10.9 release cycle and new problems are exposed, we won't be able to go back to any point in time to discover when they might be released. > In 10.8 we coped with this problem by backing out the concurrency improvements (DERBY-5448) pending fixes for DERBY-5422, DERBY-5454, DERBY-5430. Currently none of those issues have been assigned. Since this has been going on now for six months, I think we urgently need to stabiliize auto-increment columns and get this test running again on trunk. I can see three possible options. > 1) Someone with interest assign themselves to these issues and make significant progress over the next few weeks. > 2) Make the concurrency improvements optional with a property which defaults to false (I don't know if this is practical) > 3) Back the concurrency performance improvements out of trunk until these issues have been resolved and the change can be resubmitted. > I realize that NsTest is not the easiest test to work with but it does seem to have found serious problems with generated columns that I think users are likely to hit. In the past, a similiar disregard for mailjdbc exposing a corruption issue meant that we actually released a bad corruption issue that I know hit many users of Derby before we addressed it. Autoincrement is widely, widely, used. We need to get it stabilized and the test running on trunk. Although the system tests are not particularly easy to deal with, they are all we have and they do find issues. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

As a mother of a teenager I hope that I have raised my son to be responsible and make good choices. We have had the talks concerning drugs, alcohol, and sex, but I am always worried the peer pressure will speak louder than the lessons he has learned.
I have always told my son I can and will drug test him randomly. I know all that I used to get away with when out of my parents sight so I am not naive to the fact there is something that will happen that I do not approve of. Just as I will periodically check up on any social networks he is involved in, I will check to make sure he does not involve himself in bad choices concerning drugs and alcohol.
This past weekend I made my way to Walgreens where they have home drug tests available. They have single tests for cocaine, marijuana, steroids, alcohol, and multi tests that test a variety of drugs. I chose a multi test that would test for drugs common in our city.
I am proud to say he passed with flying colors. Nothing came up questionable including his behavior. He did not fight it, seem overly nervous (beyond the nerves of a first time drug test by mom and dad).
Sadly I know there are kids in or around his peer group that have experimented with drugs, alcohol, and nicotine. With knowing I may randomly test him again I just hope he continues to make the right choices and not put himself in a bad position.

I must say that as a mother of a teenage daughter, you did a very brave thing. I have had several conversations with other friends and sometimes as parents we want to be in denial. But I like your approach. As parents, we have a hard job. Ensuring the total health and safety of our children is part of that. Thanks for the post and congratulations in raising a fine young man.

(via Love Aesthetics)
Just about everything on this blog makes me want to strip it all back and live out a minimalistic lifestyle. Ivania's creativity is astounding and I find myself constantly in awe of her somewhat simple style. One day when I can bare to do it, I'd like to follow in her footsteps and just to start all over. I may need a little bit of moolah for that though. So I guess it's not a project that I could really start on anytime soon. Unless anyone is willing to fund me? You can have some of the junk that I'll be throwing away in return? No? Ok, but you're seriously missing out on some quality half used textbooks and second hand scrunchies.

This grumpy cat might have the facial expression of The Grinch or Ebenezer Scrooge, but he's definitely bringing holiday cheer with his unintentional nativity scene!
Last week, NYC-based photographer Brooke Goldman was in a sour mood after she made the mistake of offering to see off her travel-bound boyfriend at the train station in the early morning. Still in a sleepy haze, she got out of bed and walked with him.
"I was pretty out of it," Goldman told The Dodo. "I was trying to get home as fast as possible to go back to sleep and wasn't ready for the day at all."
But then, she saw something that would brighten her day: a nativity scene with a plump cat sitting in the manger!
"I was laughing my ass off," she said. "I guess you can definitely say he brought me joy while I was walking home. It was mood-lifting, most definitely. Laughing that hard that early in the morning makes the rest of the day much more positive."
Even better, Goldman posted the photos she took on Facebook, spreading the good vibes all around.
"If I fits I sits," said one commenter, while another added, "This is exactly how I imagined the second coming of Christ!"
Now, where can we get one of those for our home décor?

Jimmy Boyd Little Boy
No Christmas songs for you, dear reader, as I'm sure you're deluged already. But here is a odd and kinda creepy song that has a roundabout connection to Christmas.
The Little Boy And The Old Man was a B Side to the 1950s children's music hit Tell Me A Story by Frankie Laine and Jimmy Boyd. Jimmy Boyd is mainly remembered for I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus. Boyd possessed a cartoon-like kid voice that was both irritatingly cute and slightly ghoulish.

By Achike Uchenna, Owerri
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declared the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ben Uwajumogu the winner of Imo North Senatorial District rerun election held on July 28. According to INEC, Uwajumogu scored 56,076 votes to defeat the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr. Athan Achonu who scored 43, 815 votes of the votes cast.
INEC's Returning Officer for Imo North Senatorial District, Arinze Agbogu, who announced the result on Friday, said the outcome was a summation of scores of July 23 and that of July 28 exercise.
The winner, Uwajumogu, had scored 48,921 on July 23, while Mr. Achonu of the PDP scored 40, 142 votes which made INEC to declare the rerun inconclusive.
The returning officer said available data before him showed that Mr. Uwajumogu had majority of lawful votes cast, and therefore returned elected for the Imo North Senatorial District.
Similarly, INEC declared Nkenna Nzeruo of the APC winner of Oru East State Constituency, while Collins Chiji also of APC was declared winner for Isiala Mbano State Constituency.
The two state constituencies' elections were equally declared inconclusive due to reported cases of violence that marred the exercise in some communities in the two areas on July 23.
Mr. Uwajumogu told journalists in Owerri that he was highly elated by the victory, adding "my gratitude goes more to Gov. Rochas Okorocha whose structure helped me to win this senatorial election''.

I was looking around the utube for a good' khutbah' for tomorrow's Jumaat and I stumbled across this local gem from Tok Guru Nik Abdul Aziz.
Nonetheless his lecture was in 'French'....but it is a gem no doubt, does not matter whichever political persuasion you come from.
Please throw away your 'political' affiliation just for 30 odd minutes and listen to the message expounded by this old man through his exquisite understanding of the Quran, hadith and Prophet's seerah, on the important issue of ' Padang Mahsyar'.
TGNA's simplistic approach in his lectures, with precise meaningful examples relevant to his 'audience', has no equal.

It was the Thanksgiving of 2006. Jake and I were "casually dating". (decoded as me totally crazy about him and him totally clueless how to communicate his feeling with me. lol. )
I was spending the day with Jake's family since it was too expensive to fly home. I had gotten to know his family really well, since Jake and I spent most weekends together.
Thanksgiving dinner was held at Tammi and Mikes. Everything was so good, and Jake and I got to sit at the kids table with Jake's adorable cousins!
Jake and I were hanging out in the living room when I decided I could go for another dinner roll. I walked myself into the kitchen where lots of people are sitting and chatting. I grab a roll and start walking back to the living room. I am talking to the fam in the kitchen and walking and eating at the same time (obviously too much to handle for myself) and I turn the corner to the living room....but low and behold its not the living room.... its a flight of stairs to the basement! Well, it was too late. I had already flung myself down them. I tumbled all the way to the bottom of the stairs heels and all of course making as much noise as possible.
I lay there thinking "this living room looks different", and then I see I still have my dinner roll in my hands! lol. So sad. I ended up twisting my ankle, and completely embarrassing myself as everyone fussed over me. Someone had to go and get Jake and tell him his date was lying at the bottom of the stairs. So hot I know!
Anyway... Jake still married me, and I even went back to Tammi and Mike's last year for Thanksgiving. I got lots of warnings about the basement door being there. They kept it closed for me thank goodness!!!
So lets hope this thanksgiving for minor injuries, and just a little bit of embarrassment.

The City has been exploring ways to enhance the John Connell Reserve / Melville Glades Golf Course precinct. The previous use of John Connell Reserve as a land fill site (rubbish tip) presents a range of challenges, given that the site is contaminated and in need of remediation. Portion of the former land fill site has been developed for recreational purposes, whilst approximately half the site is inaccessible and undeveloped. Investigating the wider precinct presents opportunities to upgrade unused portions of the reserve, make better use of the land which is not contaminated and to fund the required remediation works.
Community engagement in 2012 resulted in the preparation of initial design concepts for the precinct. The designs explored the possibility of introducing housing into parts of the precinct to offset the cost of remediating the former land fill site and to provide for significant enhancement of community facilities and amenities.
These initial design concepts were the focus of further community engagement throughout 2013 and 2014. These discussions with the community informed refinements to the concept and resulted in the preparation of a draft "Opportunities Plan" In July 2014, Council decided to use the Opportunities Plan as the basis for further investigation into the future of the precinct.
Testing of the Opportunities Plan focused on responding to key issues previously identified by the community, such as:
The results of these further investigations have now been completed and have informed the preparation of a revised "Concept Plan".
The Concept Plan maintains the idea of relocating portion of the existing golf course onto the undeveloped sections of John Connell Reserve and introducing a residential component on part of the golf course. Key initiatives include:
The Concept Plan represents an idea for the possible development of the precinct. There's a lot more planning to take place and we will be seeking the communities help to finalise a plan. Should the project proceed, it will require approval from the Council and various State Government agencies.
Further work is currently taking place to examine the costs of the plan and to explore options as to how a project of this scale might be effectively delivered. Once these investigations are completed, we will again be inviting the community to provide feedback on the plan. As with previous rounds of community engagement we will be contacting residents and landowners in the vicinity of the precinct and inviting comment through the website.
To keep informed on this project, please register your interest.
Should you have an queries on this project, please contact the City's Strategic Urban Planning Team on 9364 0666

Wake up in the middle of the Patagonian wilderness in a cozy geodesic dome, with a panoramic view of the majestic Torres del Paine, ready to pick up the hiking trail! EcoCamp Patagonia is an innovative leader in adventure trekking, with expert guides taking travelers through the wild Patagonian plains past glacial lakes, snow-capped mountains, fierce waterfalls and exquisite wildlife.
After a day's trek, guests head back to EcoCamp to dine and relax in Community Domes and later sleep in their cozy Suite, Standard or Superior Dome. All domes are immersed in nature, resistant to the Patagonian elements and have ceiling windows to look up at the starry night sky.
Standard Domes
Scattered across the hilltop site of EcoCamp, the quaint Standard Domes pop out of the foliage, opening up to reveal a compact but charming interior with a large warm bed. A special feature of the Standard are its skylights, which allow you to look up at the stars as you fall asleep. Without heating but cozy and snug with fleece blankets, Standard Domes are the perfect home to return to after a day's trek.
Superior Domes
They are the perfect upgrade from a Standard Dome for those doing the 'W' trek and looking for heating, a private bathroom and a more spacious interior. Each Superior Dome has comfortable queen-size or twin beds, a propane heater and a private bathroom with a sophisticated composting toilet. Electricity is very limited inside the domes, meaning hairdryers are not permitted, but laptops and cameras can be charged.
Suite Domes
Decorated in the local Patagonian style and designed after the "leave no trace" dwellings of the ancient Kaweskar tribe, each spacious Suite Dome measures a comfortable 28m²/ 300 ft², and comes with cozy double or twin beds, a private bathroom with hot water and a state-of-the-art composting toilet, a modern low-emission wood stove, a safe, and locally made furniture, handicrafts, and decorations.
Suite Dome Loft
Suite Loft Domes are equipped with a modern low-emission wood stove, a private terrace, and a private bathroom with a state of the art composting toilet. Guests can gaze at the stars through the ceiling windows while falling asleep each night, after enjoying a spectacular sunset from their private terrace.

May 26, 2016
The Franciscan Action Network (FAN) is alarmed and disturbed by reports that the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will begin a new series of immigrant deportations. Whether these are large-scale raids or individual deportations of mothers and children, they are deplorable. Like the ICE enforcement actions in early January, this anticipated operation is expected to focus on Central Americans who are fleeing from violence in their home countries. The insistence of the Department of Homeland Security that ICE is following the law fails to justify actions which send mothers and children back to violent situations where they may be subjected to violence and even death.
"As a faith organization, FAN upholds the dignity of all persons who deserve to be treated with respect and compassion," states Sister Marie Lucey, Director of Advocacy, "We reject the argument that a man-made regulation prevails over the right of people to seek safety from violence. Faulty laws should be changed. The Administration continues to pursue detention and deportation policies rather than acknowledge the root causes that compel people to seek safety in the United States."
FAN agrees with immigrant and faith organizations who maintain that these migrants should have access to legal representation and be given the opportunity to present asylum claims at hearings in immigration court. Even if no raids occur in a particular location, reports of such actions cause families across the country to live in fear of being separated. Both actual deportations and creation of an environment of fear are contrary to American values and core faith values of love and compassion.

Elections could become more competitive, which is great news for Democrats. Republicans, who control most state legislatures, have systematically drawn electoral district maps to favor GOP candidates. That could change soon.
The U.S. Supreme Court announced on Monday that it would hear arguments in Wisconsin's partisan gerrymandering case.
Over the years, the high court has ruled on race-based challenges to electoral maps, which seek to suppress the minority vote. The court, however, has largely ignored gerrymandering based on political partisanship, according to The Washington Post.
In a winner take all system, Democrats and Republicans create electoral maps that favor their party. Voting rights advocates are hoping that the justices put an end to the excesses in recent years.
The case before the court is an appeal from Wisconsin Republicans who want the justices to overturn a lower court's ruling last year that struck down a 2011 state legislature district map.
In the 2-1 ruling, the federal court told Wisconsin's Republican-controlled legislature that the map blatantly favors the GOP to an extent that violates the U.S. Constitution, The New York Times reported.
As part of its ruling, the lower court also ordered Wisconsin to redraw the state legislature map immediately.
The Supreme Court, however, voted 5-4 to stay that order, meaning that the state could keep its gerrymandered map until the justices hand down a decision, likely in the fall. In that vote to stay the lower court's order, the Supreme Court's justices split along ideological lines, with centrist Justice Anthony Kennedy siding with the conservatives, The Post reported.
If the Supreme Court hands down a landmark decision, it could give voters a real choices at the ballot box.

Since 2005, the amount of tourists coming to Turkey for hair transplants from around the globe is increasing day by day. Most patients choose a procedure called FUE because this method has more advantages as opposed to the FUT method.
SHIFT Hair Transplant provides a world-class surgical locks transplant to patients from all around the world. We could found in the wonderful town of Istanbul having done more than 6000 successful operations. The services of SHIFT Hair Hair transplant are not simply restricted to male hair transplants, but we also treat other hair loss related issues. Included in this are facial hair hair treatment (beard), female hair hair transplant and eyebrow surgical frizzy hair restoration. At SHIFT Locks Transplant, our exclusive target is results; a completely natural look. SHIFT Locks Transplant visit here: Hair Transplant in Turkey
Turkey, and specifically Istanbul, today welcomes many foreign tourists for the purpose of medical travel and leisure. One of the key reasons is that in Chicken and Istanbul, a good quality surgeon is significantly less costly than in other countries. Patients who choose treatment in Turkey can obtain lots of perks such as free plane seat tickets, airport cab, and free hotel accommodation. Because of this, people travelling to have hair transplantation in Turkey get their treatment cared for and can have a nice trip.
Hair transplant cost in Turkey is about 1/3 of that in Europe. As well as being a more affordable price, Turkey has also changed the method of treatment, to the bloodless, painless, non-surgical and soft FUE method, to replace the bloody FUT method which once took place. Because of this, surgery can be carried away faster because there is no need to remove the skin. Instead a self-closing procedure for transplanting by opening small holes is done, making the method less painful and seamless. When ever this change in method occurred, the number of patients originating from abroad increased from 10 thousand to 72 thousand and the number of clinics increased to 200. The market reached 200 million in twelve-monthly volume.
The Well being Tourism scene has great potential in Turkey. The first hair treatment clinic in the world started out in Turkey and now around 100 thousand health tourists come to Chicken each year. The number of tourists visiting Turkey in 2008 was around seventy four thousand, while the volume of tourists in the health tourist field who went to this season rose to a hundred and ten thousand, and this quantity continues to rise.
Hair transplant cost in Turkey is based on the price per graft and the average price is around 1 euro per graft. The cost of locks transplant in turkey may partly influence your choice of clinic, but you also needs to choose a curly hair transplantation center with an experienced team and a fully equipped hair hair treatment center.
Some clinics in Turkey periodically offer some discounts. In general, because of the reduced number of men and women coming back for surgery in May possibly and June, you can receive 10 and even just the teens discounts for operations. During this time period, coming to Turkey for hair transplant can save you money, by obtaining discounted treatment.

Alan Tudyk and Nolan North were the surprise guest panellists at MCM London Comic Con this Sunday and provided a hilarious panel to promote their new web series Con Man.
Focused on letting people know that Con Man is available on Vimeo, Tudyk and North messed about onstage and talked about the series, engaging with fans and cracking jokes at every opportunity to create a light-hearted atmosphere.
The show was crowdfunded on Indiegogo in April, and is most famous for being the fastest-ever campaign to reach its target – ultimately it earned over $3 million. Created by and starring Tudyk in the lead role, the series focuses on Wray Nerely, a disgruntled actor who is frustrated at only being recognised for his work on cancelled sci-fi TV series Spectrum.
While the life of the lead character in Con Man bears a remarkable resemblance to Tudyk's experiences on cult-hit TV show Firefly, Tudyk is by no means the same as his character, Wray, who's a bit of a sour, hapless, embittered has-been who resents having to go to cons to earn a living. Tudyk, on the other hand, has has a very successful post-Whedon career, and he clearly loves joking around at cons.
Before opening up the floor to questions, the pair presented a clip from the show which featured them alongside Milo Ventimiglia (Heroes) and Gina Torres (Firefly) during a voice recording session. Crazy voices and rectum jokes ensue, and the audience laughed heartily.
Tudyk and North then took questions from the fans, and talked about the show and their voice acting careers. The pair also gave each person that asked a question a signed item which Tudyk brought especially from his hotel room. Slippers, shaving cream, combs — anything that could be signed was given to fans, and it was an amusing way to bring the panel to a close.
Con Man is available to rent on Vimeo for £9.99, and to buy for £12.99 now. You can read our review of the first block of episodes here. We can highly recommend it!

The Franklys are a four piece all girl rock 'n' roll force hailing from Sweden, the UK and the US, recently featured on Fred Perry Subculture.
Since they kicked off their career with a sell-out gig at the legendary '100 Club' in London in 2012, the band has played shows all around the UK, East Coast America, Sweden, Norway and Germany.
Their debut EP in 2013 captured the energy and raw talent brought to the stage during their live performances. Backed by a dark and enigmatic video for their song 'My Love', the EP caught the eyes, ears and attention of both 'NME' and 'Vive Le Rock'.
The Franklys have appeared in the likes of 'Fame Magazine', 'Shindig! Magazine' and 'God is in the TV' to name but a few. The band's songs have also been spun heavily on radio stations such as BBC Suffolk, Roundhouse Radio and A1 Radio.

Construction continues to progress on the $60 million South East Flows Restoration Project (SEFRP) to reduce salinity in the Coorong, improve water flows to upper South East wetlands and reduce drainage outfall at Kingston.
Assistant Minister for Agriculture and Water Resources, Sentaor Anne Ruston, and SA Minister for Water and the River Murray, Ian Hunter said that South Australia's Leed Engineering and Construction were making great progress on the 94 kilometre flow path that will connect flows from the Blackford Drain near Kingston to the Coorong South Lagoon at Salt Creek.
"The Australian Government is contributing up to $123.3 million for 23 management actions to support the restoration and ongoing resilience of the internationally important Coorong, Lower Lakes and Murray Mouth site," Minister Ruston said.
"The Australian Government is providing up to $54 million of that funding for the South East Flows Restoration Project to assist in management of salinity levels in the Coorong lagoons.
"The Australian Government is proud to be supporting this project which will strengthen the resilience of the Coorong and Lakes Alexandrina and Albert Wetland Ramsar site.
"I am very pleased to see construction progressing and the economic benefits this project is bringing to the region with over 55 new jobs created onsite."
Minister Hunter said the project includes 13 kilometres of new drainage channel, upgrading 81 kilometres of existing channel, and installation of new regulators, road crossings, and fishways.
"The project has been 10 years in the planning and will deliver a median of 26.5 giglitres per year of additional water to the Coorong South Lagoon to assist in managing salinity and support the environment during periods of low flows," Minister Hunter said.
"The project will divert water to wetlands along the entire alignment including the Murrabinna Flat and Taratap Wetlands, and most significantly Tilley Swamp.
"Tilley Swamp will be restored to form a wetland complex covering 6100 hectares with a volume of 42 giglitres.
"The large storage capacity will allow flexibility to store water in Tilley Swamp when flows are high and deliver it to the Coorong South Lagoon during low flows.
"Filling these wetlands will provide great ecological benefits to the region. As water is re-introduced, wetland vegetation will again flourish and the previous ecosystem of birds, fish, and aquatic vegetation will be restored.
"The SA Government continues to consult with landholders, local indigenous groups and the local community throughout the project."
Member for Barker, Tony Pasin MP, who represented Minister Ruston at the Blackford construction site said he was pleased with the final alignment with the drainage channel.
"I am pleased that the views of the community regarding the alignment of the drainage channel to enable storage of water in the Tilley Swamp water course have been facilitated in this project". Mr Pasin said.
The project is funded by the Australian and the South Australian governments and is being delivered by the SA Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources. Construction is being managed by the SA Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure. Works started in March 2017 and are expected to be completed by mid-2018.

Informix steals show at PC Expo
1997-06-18 04:00:00 PDT NEW YORK CITY -- NEW YORK - The world of computing descended Tuesday on Manhattan for the start of the massive PC Expo held at Jacob Javitz convention center.
As is always the case, the announcements flowed like water.
Menlo Park's Informix Corp. made the biggest splash as Chief Executive Phillip White cleared up questions about some short-term issues at a meeting with industry analysts, and gave them a sense of what to expect through the end of the year.
But for the longer term, the jury's still out.
"I would sort of characterize it as "potential long-term turnaround,' but it's not soup yet," said Andrew Roskill, an analyst with Smith Barney Inc.
The event was a chance for White to provide a blueprint of where the company is going over the next few quarters, said Joseph Farley of UBS Securities Inc.
Farley said industry analysts have virtually been
"flying blind" as they tried to digest a string of awful news from the database software vendor.
Those include a whopping first-quarter loss of $140 million, the defection of a brand-new chief financial officer, company regulatory filings that indicated potential cash-flow problems and a glut of inventory in the sales channels and questions about how the company recognizes its revenue.
On Tuesday, the company outlined some specific moves that will ease any liquidity threats, and clarified its marketing strategy, analysts said.
Among these moves were:
*A head count reduction of 10 percent company-wide to be completed by the end of the second quarter, including a reduction of 200 jobs in Europe announced earlier.
*The establishment of a large new line of credit through an unidentified major financial institution, analysts said. A company spokesman confirmed the credit line but said Informix hasn't released many details.
*Termination of a two-year lease on Informix's new headquarters building in Santa Clara. The move means Informix forfeits $61.5 million that had been held as collateral by the developer, but it gains title to the land. The company is now free to raise cash by either selling the land, then renting or leasing it back, or by borrowing against it. Company officials could not immediately confirm the move.
*Institution of incentives for its sales force to close deals in the first and second months of the quarter, and incentives for its resellers to burn off some excess inventory. A company spokesman confirmed the sales-force incentives but said he hadn't heard about the reseller incentives.
Farley said the the company's goal is to reach break-even or profitability in the fourth quarter.
In other computer-related news:
Seagate Technology<
Seagate said its fiscal fourth-quarter sales and earnings won't meet analysts' expectations, just two weeks after issuing a first warning about profits.
The world's largest independent disk drive maker said weakness in its high-end drives, coupled with production problems, will hurt its revenue, gross margin and net income. The company said it expects revenue for the quarter ending June 27 to be between $2.0 billion and $2.1 billion, with a "significant" impact on earnings.
Oracle will move next week to increase its lead over competitors in the $5.7 billion database software business by introducing a more powerful version of its flagship database program.
The company will begin shipping Oracle 8, a new version of its database product that can handle much more information while costing less to manage, next Tuesday.
The product could help Redwood City-based Oracle invade International Business Machine Corp.'s lucrative turf in high-end data management software, analysts said. It also includes features that would give Oracle at least a two-year technology lead over Microsoft Corp., which has been threatening Oracle's business with cheap database products.
Apple Computer<
Apple officials said they will embrace push technology by including Marimba's Castanet Tuner and the PointCast Network with Mac OS 8, the new version of Apple's operating system.
The announcement at PC Expo signals that Apple hopes to catch up with rival Microsoft, which is developing its own push technology for its Internet Explorer 4.0 browser software to be integrated in the new versions of Windows.
Push technology collects data such as stock market quotes and sports scores and "pushes" it to Internet users, saving them from having to search the World Wide Web to gather the information.
Apple had already announced a partnership with Marimba, but had not said when it would include Marimba's software in its operating system.<

Man Violently Swings Privates In Middle Of An Intersection…Say Sayonara!
If you've been to San Francisco you know you see all kinds of crazy things there that are completely out in the open, ranging from people jumping out at you behind bushes to scary old women offering up their "services". This is one encounter I am grateful to have never had!
A very disturbed man was wildly shaking his thang at cars and pedestrians this last Friday. Instead of working the corner, he decided to "work" the intersection, after darting into traffic he began wildly flapping everything around. It wasn't until an hour later that police finally did the only thing they could think of.
A witness caught the man on video running and waving his fists at police who tried to subdue him with what appeared to be pepper spray.
They eventually tackled him and handcuffed him. A witness said he was taken to an ambulance on a stretcher.
He was taken to a local hospital for evaluation.
The police confirmed the incident, saying, 'At around 1:30pm, officers responded to a call of a naked male banging on cars," she said. 'Upon attempting to detain the male subject, he became combative, and appeared to have an altered mental status.'
After screaming and dancing for a straight hour, the police did the only thing they could think of to rid themselves of this problem. They shut down the intersection. I know this guy needs mental help and everything but this kind of thing isn't okay. Do you think he should still get some kind of punishment?

Sale-a-Bration finishes at the end of the month so I wanted to remind them of what they could get for FREE (and also remind you!)
Two of the most popular items from the first release are Party Pandas and the gorgeous Tutti Frutti notecards. They partner perfectly to contrast the colourful with the black and white!
By far the most popular item in the second release is the Springtime Foil DSP. Yummy! For this card we brayered it with Basic Gray Archival Ink which really makes the metallics pop.
I love this DSP so much that we used it on another card which also featured the Blossoming Basket Bundle. This bundle is free with a $180 order and featured the gorgeous flowers in a basket stamp set and the Basket Weave Dynamic Embossing Folder.
The centre flower was stamped and fussy cut then popped up on Dimensionals. We added some Wink of Stella and tiny pearls to finish off. I love this card!
The last stamp set we played with was Eclectic Expressions. This is one of those fun stamp sets where you build up the images on top of one another and the results are beautiful and soooo versatile.
To view the 1st and 2nd release SAB items, it's best to view the PDF by clicking HERE.
Stampin' Up! has also announced a 3rd release of products. These are existing items from the catalogue but during SAB you can earn them for FREE.

My boyfriend actually picked this color for me to wear, but I must say I wasn't overly impressed. It was sheer (sigh, we all know how I feel about sheers) and therefore, I thought I might take it off immediately after he left (don't want to hurt his nail-polish-picking pride!). But I decided to try black shatter over it and I loved it! It really rescues any polish! Unfortunately, you can see my carelessness applying Fiji Fling underneath and I took the whole sloppy mess off after about a day.
Next, I decided to try Black Shatter over a glitter polish. OPI's Simmer and Shimmer was my victim, and the results were amazing! The glitter shows through, but the Black Shatter gives just enough intrigue to it to make it interesting. (Sorry for the random flecks of glitter on my cuticles, it's a real pain to clean up glitter!)
My original intention was that thick glitter like this tends to peel right off my nail, and it drives me nuts. I thought Black Shatter + topcoat would stop this... and it did, until it came about time to do this post and a small chunk (a piece of free edge with just glitter, where Black Shatter left empty), came right up! I use Nail Life Gripper as my base coat, but nothing seems to help grip glitter to my nails! Do you have any suggestions?

We are so excited to share an interview with you by Anna (almadr). Her photos have such a soft, lovely quality about them. They are truly lovely and she is truly a talent. You can visit her website at Scrapownia and we think you should!! Also, you can view more of her work on her Flickr page.
Thank you Anna for sharing with us!! We are so inspired by you.
Tell us how you felt in love with photography?
To tell the truth I don't remember - it was so long ago, when I was a teenager. I just got interested in photography and joined a local teenage photo club. We learnt traditional (not digital) B&W photography. And I just got hooked onto this "magic". I believe I love photography so much as it allows me to be an artist even though I can't paint properly.
Do you feel you have found your style? How would you describe it?
Don't think so. I'm still searching. But for sure one of my distinctive features is shallow depth of field and close-ups - I love those and use them a lot!
What is your favorite gear and why?
I use Canon 450d (I'd love to have a better model but can't afford it now) and I absolutely love my 50mm 1.8 Canon lenses, as it allows me to shoot with shallow DOF and in difficult light conditions. I shoot mostly with it. But I'd love to have some proper macro and telephoto lenses too to play more with close-up and portrait photography.
What is your favorite subject and why?
I love taking photos of everyday objects in natural lightening. I'm interested in food and object photography a lot and I'm always drawn to and inspired by beautifully arranged compositions. And I also like taking portraits, especially of my little niece and nephew. Kids are so cute and natural, so it's fun (but also a challenge) to take photos of them.
What do you do when you feel less inspired?
I check flickr/pinterest or some other blogs and websites where I can find inspirational photos. I also love coming back to books on art and photography I have at home.
Thank you again Anna
Ana and Christian
