What an assault to my senses. Lots of people, stores, traffic, restaurants and shopping, shopping and more shopping! I must stock up on supplies until the next trip in and then the Christmas shopping.
The main purpose of this trip was to take in new works for the Christmas Show for my Artist Co-op, Yukon Artists at Work. I do not spend much time with other artists, due to where I live. Yes, I give lots of workshops but not much time is spent with my peers. So it was really nice to be at the opening of our show on Friday night. Another thought, if anyone purchases my art on-line. The gallery wins too, because a commission goes to our co-op.

Bitmoji is a new app for Android and iPhone that'll let you turn yourself into an emoji.
Not content with turning your life into an endless stream of comic with Bitstrips, the same developers have now created the Bitmoji keyboard.
Free to download you create an avatar that looks just like you and then Bitmoji turns your avatar into an entire library of mildly creepy, but ultimately quite funny emoticons.
Once created you'll be free to troll your friends with humorous images just like this:

Or this:
Ready for tonight's finale? Tweet us your Girls Bitmoji. You may get #GIRLS goods.

We think it's probably safe to say that this app is going to be a success, in fact we know it will because it's already got well over 1m downloads on Google Play.

Spice World
Reviewed by Ken M. Wilson
Rating: 10 Beans
f you wanna be real bored, you gotta get with your friends... head on out to the theatres, there you're journey begins. Yes, my friends, I braved the rapids and went to see "Spiceworld" on opening night. Armed with a group of co-workers and my six year old son, I sat down at the one movie I was hoping would dethrone "Titanic" as the most profitable for the weekend. Boy was I wronged."Spiceworld" is what every BMer envisions in his or her wildest fantasies. Take an annoying pop band, give them unwarranted success, give them book deals, and huge media press and what does that spell? You better believe it spells "movie deal." And a deal it was... we are subjected to 90 minutes of Posh, Ginger, Sporty, Baby and Scary Spice acting like complete idiots. It was great! My son ended up nearly falling asleep on my lap while uttering the best line heard throughout this gruelling experience -- "Dad? Can we go?!?" Yes, even six year old males can't stand "Spiceworld."The story goes like this -- the girls are rich and famous and run around on their Spice bus driven by Meatloaf. Their manager, an uptight stereotypical faux-chap, is determined to bring them safe and sound to their internationally televised concert no matter what the price. Of course, he won't let the girls have any fun along the way so that leads to glimpses of Girl Power! as our five female foxes do this and that to the delight of no one but themselves. In the background is a sadistic newsman hell-bent on destroying the Spice Girls for little to no reason. What can I say? Every film needs an enemy. You'll never guess how it all comes out."Spiceworld" did have it's redeeming points that only "Bad Movie Night" junkies can appreciate. Roger Moore's washed-up face gets my vote for Best Actor. His self-parody of Bond is to die for -- the first few moments of his drivel grate on the nerves like seeing your ex-girlfriend kissing her new beau, but eventually the lines Moore dishes out are the most looked forward to portions of this travesty. The movie also parodies some of the bigger budget flicks of recent years -- namely "Mission Impossible" and "Speed". It also has numerous guest appearances. I managed to see Meatloaf and Roger Moore (as mentioned above), Bob Geldof, Elton John, Elvis Costello, and Bob Hoskins to name a few. What were these guys thinking?!? I wish *I* could have been in the film but until I'm a has-been (with the exception of repetitive songwriter Elton John) I have no shot at being a part of any Spice Girls production.BAD MOVIE NIGHT AWARDS PREDICTION: Unless film writers gather together and work the mojo there is NO WAY IN FIERY HELL that any other film could dethrone "Spiceworld" as the worst film of 1998.

if japan would make a Skip Beat version...
Taiwan is planning to make one already and pretty soon maybe Japan will do too. who would you like to be the lead?
hmmm this is an opportunity for toma and maki to be together. but i think Toma doesn't fit Ren (but who knows, maybe he can pull it off he IS a good actor).
Jin would also fit the role of Ren.
Inoue would also be good as the female lead
how about you guys...who do you want to see in skipbeat?
Inoue Mao as Kyoko
Oguri Shun as Ren
Shirota Yuu as Sho
i dont think the cast you give is good. maki doesn't fit to be kyoko. toma, though i like him., he is no good for it.
BAEBY is sooo innocent.. he fell for daedae's prank.. lmao.. XDD
i actually though about this one. and its hard to pick!! but i agree grumpy on Oguri Shun as Ren :] but then again his face looks super young. its hard one
☊ ♪♫♬ = ♥ bouts to delete this shit
I think Maki-chan fits Kyoko perfectly...she's the first and only one to pop in my head for Kyoko.
For Ren I think Jin would be perfect.
For Sho I want Jaejoong (though he's not Japanese).
And Kanae should be Meisa or Mao.
"The Blood Elf of Second Life is Prince..."
i want MAKI horikita as kyoko...
and i think jin would be perfect for REN....
wAnnA gO tO liTtlE toKyo......wAhHAh
what is the story about???
hAAA!!! skul days is very tiring!!!!
i think shun for ren
I think Ren should look a little older. Because after all he's a charismatic MAN.
Fujiki Naohito would be quite okay for the role.
And this image should fit his Corn image. Well, with blonde hair that is.
Sing for me only with thine eyes...
Kyoko -> Minami! (as yuri in yukan club!!)
For Ren: Even though I think Oguri Shun would be awesome ... I don't think he'd be interested and I think the casting director will look for someone older. So I think Fujiki Naohito is a really good choice - Great pics Jinxter!! So I would totally vote for that.
Tamaki Hiroshi:
Or Kashiwabara Takashi
For Sho: He's gotta have that rocker vibe..and I'm guessing a slim and young guy that's gotta be immature, a real jerk, but able to make you like him in the end...in other words, someone that has a similar acting style to Matsumoto Jun but a bit more edgy. For that I would pick, Eita - I just loved him in the drama Unfair:
For Kyoko: that's really hard. I think Inoue Mao is really likeable and sweet...but maybe too sweet? I think we need someone that can be more "spunky" that acts and that can "transform" .... (like Anne Hathaway did for her role in Princess Diaries)
They may just pick some new girl. But if it's someone I already know then I'd just throw in:
Eikura Nana
For Momo (Kyoko's friend..at times, hehe), I'd choose maybe:
Kitagawa Keiko:
Or Kato Rosa:
inoue mao would be perfect for kyoyko!!!
hmmm fooo REn...
tough choice.......
JUN hahahahha..... OguRi shun is also perfect for the role
moshi moshi 0.o
I kinda agree with rektor. I think Minami can potray the role perfectly. Or inoue mao would be good too (:
for ren... I think... orguri shun or Jun but, maybe they'll pick someone who has jet black hair and has some kind of unique face :D
then for sho, maybe... toma? not being biased or anything but, i think toma would do a good job for that role, cause it seems like for his past dramas, it seems to fit him.
ohho :D
i agree with raynebeauty on Ren being played by Tamaki Hiroshi. PERFECT PICK
maki horikita couldn't play Kyoko though cuz only knows how to act one way... she wouldn't be able to carry the role.
Shirota Yuu as Sho is a good choice too
I think Risa from Absolute Boyfriend (can't remember her name) could play Kyoko
erika sawajiri as Kyoko
akanishi jin as ren
shun oguri as sho

Published: 1995-11-14 | ISBN: 068813582X | PDF | 360 pages | 101 MB
The author outlines his memory improvement program–as seen in his television infomercial–which makes use of the brain's photographic powers to allow instant recall of names, telephone numbers, financial data, speeches, and more. 25,000 first printing.
Do you think you have a "bad memory"?
Impossible, says Kevin Trudeau, the world's foremost authority on memory improvement training. There are no bad memories, only untrained memories. In order to release our natural memory, Trudeau says, we just need to learn to retrieve what we already know. As founder of the American Memory Institute, Kevin Trudeau has already helped more than one million people do just that.
Each Mega Memory lesson in this book takes no more than thirty minutes per day and uses pictures, rather than the laborious word-association techniques of other memory systems, to activate our inborn memory. With this easy-to-follow system, you'll be able to instantly remember names, phone numbers, addresses, financial data, speeches, and schoolwork. Even better, Trudeau's system ensures instant recall and long-term Mega Memory. All you need is the desire to unleash your Mega Memory, and you can reap all these incredible rewards!
Labeled with a learning disability at an early age, Kevin Trudeau was convinced his problem was an inability to recall information. He read everything he could on memory improvement. Eventually, he developed his own program for memory retrieval and formed the American Memory Institute. His Mega Memory home study system is the most utilized self-improvement series of all time.

33 million votes are in…..and I was half wrong.
Starting out, Michael Sarver and Allison Iraheta are safe. That was a no-brainer after their knock-out performances the night before. So were Matt Giraud and Kris Allen, both of which seem to have a female following. (Side note: After watching the recaps, I realized that I had underestimated Matt's song. It was a lot better than I had remembered.)
Then it comes to the two girls in the middle of the stage…Jasmine Murray and Megan Joy. I stopped breathing for a moment because I was afraid that Megan had blown her chance, but when compared to Jasmine's performance, I knew that America would vote the right way. And they did. Yay Megan!! Now she just needs to pick the right song and show off that awesome voice of hers. And maybe take a few dance lessons from Paula.
Next come Scott MacIntyre, Alexis Grace and Danny Gokey. All safe….which was pretty obvious. Adam Lambert and Lil Rounds also made it through, not surprisingly. Now back to the middle of the stage, where Anoop Desai and Jorge Nunez stand, both looking very nervous. I am praying that Anoop is the one to be sent home, being that in my opinion (as well as a few others I spoke to) he does not have the voice to continue on in this competition. However, I could feel Jorge's heart slowly breaking as it was announced he was heading home. There is no doubt in my mind that he deserved to be there more than Anoop, but obviusly not enough of America agrees. Perhaps it is his name they like.

For this, simply turn on cooler water at the end of your warm shower for 15 sec to start. Then gradually do it colder and longer up to 60 sec. You do not have to submerge your head. You can use the WHM 20-Day Cold Shower Challenge for direction and accountability. http://explore.wimhofmethod.com/coldshowerchallenge/

I think it's important to include bands I love when they fuck up (as I have done with multiple bands mentioned here), as well as songs that are both modern and old – so today's punk bullshit is "Rolling Balls" by AFI, which is both oppositionally sexist and trans-misogynistic.
Bowling is my life and it has always been my dream
to be a member of the local bowling team, but I'm not very good.
The guys won't accept me, I guess I try the girls team
and lose a part of my anatomy then balls will roll.
I think I want to be…
Balls will roll, I think it's time,
it's time for me to be a girl.
It's a very big decision, it's going to change my life.
I'll have to make all new friends, I'm gonna lose my wife.
But that's okay with me. There's something in my soul.
It doesn't matter who's the better man, it the man who gets to bowl.
Balls will roll. I think I want to be…
Balls will roll, I think it's time, it's time for me to be a girl.
Go! I've made my decision, I'm gonna make the change.
There will be rolling balls, I'm gonna play my game.
It's gonna be so great. It's gonna be the best,
besides, I've always told myself I look good in a dress.
I'm gonna cut 'em off, I'm gonna cut 'em off, I'm gonna cut 'em off.
I'll never have to cough.
Now I've made my change and I've fulfilled my dream.
I'm now a member of the women's bowling team.
I hope I throw a strike, cause I'll never score again.
My first game is tomorrow, I will go to play and then…
Balls will roll. I think I want to be…
Balls will roll, I think it's time, it's time for me to be.
Cue the tired excuse for shit like this: "It's just a JOKE!" First of all – no shit! I know that Davey Havok did not end up transitioning to join a women's bowling team. Obviously it's a joke – an extremely transphobic joke that it's easy for cis men such as AFI to laugh about, because they don't deal with actual transphobia.
Just a few of the trans women stereotypes and prejudices perpetuated in this song:
- It's not a real transition unless bottom surgery is done.
- Nobody wants to be friends with a trans woman.
- Trans women are actually still men.
- Trans women must follow stereotypes of what it means to be feminine.
- Nobody could possibly be attracted to a trans woman.
You know, jokes are a lot funnier when they don't marginalize or poke fun at an oppressed group. Just sayin'.

According to U.S. Census Bureau Current Population Survey online, the percentage of over weight and obese people hit the %61 mark in the year 1999. Since then the percentage has almost doubled in size! Contrary to popular belief in some people, being over weight or obese isn't a choice, its something they have had to live with for a long time. Some people are over weight for other reasons besides what they eat and how they live. People are often over weight or obese for reasons such as:
Ltd., physical exercise
Poor nutrition
Eating disorders such as binging and purging
weight loss for men, compare diet programs, weight loss patch,
As far as limited exercise goes people that have desk jobs are less mobile, meaning they are more or less susceptible at being over weight or obese. Being sedentary or having a sedentary lifestyle can cause your metabolism to slow down. When your metabolism slows down, it doesn't burn the fat or carbs or any of the other junk you're putting into your body. "A sedentary lifestyle is defined as engaging in no leisure time physical activity, such as exercises, sports, or physically active hobbies, in a two week period."
Being overweight refers to the excess of body weight compared to set standards. The excess weight can come from muscle, bone, fat or body water.
Obesity refers specifically to having an abnormally high proportion of body fat.
A lot of people try to lose weight, all sorts of ways. From dieting fads, to exercise, to eating right, to diet weight loss pills and vitamins. First and foremost I have to say you really should try exercise and eating right. But if you've tried that before and it hasn't worked for you. Check out some of the popular diet and weight loss pills eat you can take. There are several sites online that are willing to help you by giving you reviews, brochures, advice and information.
And lastly if none of this works for you. There are also two more alternatives that I know of. One is weight loss programs, such as Jenny Craig, or Weight Watchers. One of the very last option is gastric bypass. Gastric bypass surgery makes the stomach smaller and allows food to bypass part of the small intestine. Of course, in some instances people have gotten gastric bypass surgery and either think that this means they can continue to live a sedentary life or in some cases deemed the wight back in a few months to a year. Gastric bypass surgery in my personal opinion, should be the very last option, you should look at, unless all other options fail.
If you're searching for more into information on being overweight or obese, or you're looking for more information on diet pills, weight loss programs, or other ways of losing weight. Look for things online that have to do with weight loss. Good luck!

- Microsoft has identified another security hole in its Outlook e-mail software and says a fix is available for the glitch.
The software maker Thursday released a patch for its Outlook and Outlook Express clients, following the identification of a hole in the software that could allow hackers to use a vCard to disable Outlook, or run code through Outlook.
The vCard attachment is a common way to share address book information.
This exploit, like many viruses, will only work if the user opens an infected attachment in an e-mail document. It was reported to Microsoft by Ollie Whitehouse, a British programmer.
The patch is available from Microsoft, and, as always, the company urges users to follow sound security measures, which included not opening unexpected attachments, especially from strangers.
However, as evidenced by the spread of the Kournikova virus last week, users are still all too willing to open suspect attachments.
According to the Microsoft security advisory, "Outlook Express provides several components that are used both by it and, if installed on the machine, Outlook. One such component, used to process vCards, contains an unchecked buffer."
A buffer temporarily stores data in devices or software. Programmers can design buffers to check the size of data entered into them and reject entries that are too long. When they are "unchecked," it means there is no such safeguard, and users can enter any amount of data. In the case of Outlook, the unchecked buffer would allow a malicious user to create a vCard that contains what Microsoft called "specially malformed data." When a recipient opened such a vCard, the data overflow the available buffer size and crash the e-mail software.
"In a more serious case, a malicious user could exploit the unchecked buffer to run unauthorized code on the other user's computer," Microsoft warned.
Sara Radicati, president and CEO of The Radicati Group in Palo Alto, Calif., said she hadn't heard of this hole being a problem yet.
"This is such a low-level issue . . . it just might not have bubbled up yet," she said.

Santa, having made some headway with his elves in creating and wrapping Christmas gifts, has been spotted touring Arran villages ahead of the big day.
At the Isle Be Wild play park at Brodick Castle and Country Park, National Trust for Scotland staff created an all-natural grotto where Santa met excited children. Festive mince pies and treats were available at the cafe where children lined up to meet Santa after enjoying an adventurous afternoon in the play park.
At Corrie and Sannox village hall children were treated to a ball pit and bouncy castle along with gingerbread men decorating and a host of activities provided by organisers Shona Catriona Dunsmuir and Marie-Louise Craig, who also had lots of tasty treats and snacks for the children.

I have recently come to the realization that I haven't properly listened to myself since 2011. And I can't believe it's taken me so long to figure this out.
Let It BeHAPPINESS, REFLECTIONS
I've been hibernating, and I think it's time to wake up. Winter has nearly passed and the temperatures are slowly starting to rise (as is my level of happiness). But I'm going to take a more personal route for this four-month-overdue post; I'm going to share a bit of my very own darkness.
New Year, New PerspectiveHAPPINESS, HEALTH, REFLECTIONS
This year, I want to be present. I want to live and I want to be. I want to fully experience every moment, every high and every low. I want to move away from this idea of perfection and move into becoming more and more of myself. Dr. Seuss once said, You are you. Isn't that pleasant? So yes, this year, I will be present; I will be my imperfect self and I will be there for every moment of my imperfect life. Will you?
Autumnal ReflectionREFLECTIONS
"I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers." – L.M. Montgomery
As the leaves begin to fall and you bring out your abundance of cozy knit sweaters, take a second to think about how this seasonal transition might bring inner change as well as undiscovered beauty – embrace this lovely October and embrace yourself.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'jason stackhouse' tag.
Today provided me lots of entertainment. First and foremost the "informational session" was about selling insurance and annuities. That really isn't my cup of tea. However, there will be better opportunities down the road.
There were two things of interest to me. Jason Stackhouse and the Gay Baby! We will start with the former.
In the "informational session" I went to there was a guy who looked some much like Jason Stackhouse, it was frightening. Same blond hair, same build, same dumb doe-caught-in-headlights look in his eyes. Much like the picture below.
I kept looking at him like, OMG . . .You are the physicality of a fictional character. After he finally realized I was watching him off an on during the "informational session" he started looking back at me. I wasn't really interested in him . . .but I think he thought that I was. It totally made the "informational session" worth it.
I really kinda thought nothing could top the Jason Stackhouse sighting. . .until I went to work. That's where I found the Gay Baby . . .more like he found me.
Tonight was really rainy. So anyone walking by the store most likely decided to pop in to browse until the rain let up. Enter Stage Left, a mother and her child. The child is probably about 18-24 mos. and is wearing a ball cap and sitting in a stroller. The mother is wet, yet the child is not.
As the mother started walking towards me, I acknowledge her and she acknowledge me. The child proceeded to tell his mother that he was wet (from the rain . . .not the diaper). He mother assured him he was only a little wet. He proceeded to take off his hat and tell her how wet it was. Ok . . .I'm thinking . . .just a complaining kid.
Moving on, as his mother continues to browse, the kid spots a naked mannequin and says "Look . . .BOOBIES!" I ask his mother if he gets that from his father, and she assures me that is not the case. She also told me that they cannot go near a lingerie department with him, because he will scream "BOOBIES!" at the top of his lungs. I buy this and go on with my tasks.
A little while later, I here the kid say "That's ugly. I don't like it." The kid doesn't hold back. And children at this age are nothing but honest." I turn to the mom, to which she tells me, he doesn't like denim. Ok . . .this kid is def gay. By this point, I really want to follow the kid and his mom around to see what else comes out of his mouth. You know me. I'm always up for meeting a new gay man. However, not one so new to this Earth.
The kid is really demanding. "Take me outside," "Put that down," and "I'm ready to leave." After a few mins. the rain lets up and the mom is getting ready to leave. As she leaves the kid starts screaming "Gaga, Gaga." Ok, so the kid has a vocabulary and tends to speak in small, but complete sentences. He does babble like a baby. So I am assume that this Gaga rant pertains to the one and only Lady Gaga . . .because, what gay man doesn't love the Gaga.
As the mother and the Gay Baby exit stage right, I hear one more of the kid's demands. "Don't bump my piggies." Basically don't run my feet into the door. What 2 year-old says that?
Today was probably one of the best days of my life. It's really the simple things that make me happy. And apparently I can count Jason Stackhouse and Gay Babies as simple things! If I could have a gay baby, I think I might rethink children altogether . . .lol. I leave you with the gay baby test as seen on scrubs . . .enjoy!

Everyone has their personal preference when it comes to the choice of bedside table or cupboard. There are, though, some common principles worth considering. First, for convenience, it is best if the unit is approximately the same height as the top of the bed mattress. This will vary, but will most usually be around 50cm/lft 8in. Ideally there should be enough space within the unit to accommodate all that you might wish to store at the bedside: this will help prevent a cluttered top with nowhere to set down that occasional cup of tea or perhaps a posy of fresh rosebuds. A sheet of clear glass cut to the outline of the top of a cloth-covered table will help to prevent staining and dust gathering on the fabric surface.
A bedroom is a private sanctuary, a place for rest, relaxation and rejuvenation. Bedroom design ideas should reinforce that feeling and help create an environment which is calm, soothing and takes us away from the stresses of the daily life. The things around which the bedroom design ideas revolve are functional elements like the furniture, storage etc., aesthetical elements like color and decorative elements like artwork, displays, accessories etc.

It is not easy managing diabetes. A diabetes-friendly diet comes with many restrictions. Even the most 'healthy' foods could set your blood sugar levels racing. Diabetes is fast emerging to be one of the most rampant conditions across the globe. Characterised by too much sugar in the blood (high blood glucose), diabetes is often linked with many other health complications such as obesity and stroke. According to WHO, in the year 2014, 422 million people were diagnosed with diabetes across the world. The WHO also said that the prevalence of diabetes is steadily increasing in the past 3 decades and is growing most rapidly in low and middle income countries. Lack of awareness about diabetes management and its complications, delayed diagnosis, can make the condition worse and even lead to untimely death.
When it comes to diabetes, one has to be very careful about their diet. In diabetes, due to abnormal metabolising of carbohydrates, one is advised to ditch refined carbs and take complex carbs instead. Diabetics are also recommended to take low glycemic index foods. The glycemic index (GI) is a relative ranking of carbohydrate in foods according to how they affect blood glucose levels. Carbs with low GI value (55 or less) are digested, absorbed and metabolised slowly and cause a gradual rise in blood glucose.
When it comes to diabetes, one has to be very careful about their diet.
While much is said about a perfect diabetes diet, many of these don't take into account as diabetic's tussle with liquid calories. Yes you heard us, liquid calories. So you have been good, avoided all refined carbs and loaded up on whole grain foods and later in the day chugged in whole bottle of an aerated drink. This act of yours may undo most of your healthy efforts to manage diabetes naturally. Diabetics should steer clear of aerated and sugary drinks. Various studies and reports have time and again reinforced that these drinks are full of liquid calories and can cause major spike in the blood sugar levels. A can of fruit juice is not one of the healthiest substitutes either. Fruit juices, especially packaged fruit juices are loaded with fructose that elevates the blood sugar levels. However, there is one juice that you can have, and that juice may also help regulate your blood sugar levels naturally. We are talking about karela juice or bitter gourd juice.
Karela juice is an excellent beverage for diabetics. Bitter gourd helps regulate the blood sugar level in your body. Bangalore-based Nutritionist Dr. Anju Sood explains, "Karela juice makes your insulin active. When your insulin is active, your sugar would be used adequately and not convert into fat, which would eventually help in weight loss too"
According to studies, bitter gourd has a few active substances with anti-diabetic properties. One of them is charantin, which is famous for its blood glucose-lowering effect. Bitter gourd contains an insulin-like compound called Polypeptide-p or p-insulin which has been shown to control diabetes naturally. These substances either work individually or together to help reduce blood sugar levels.
Karela juice is an excellent beverage for diabetics.
How To Make Karela or Bitter Gourd Juice
Peel the bitter gourd with the help of a knife. Slice the bitter gourd to the centre. Once you are done slicing, scoop out the white flesh and the seeds of the vegetable. Now, take the bitter gourd and cut them into tiny pieces. Soak the pieces in cold water for about 30 minutes. Add bitter gourd pieces to a juicer and add half teaspoon of salt and lemon juice. Blend the ingredients.
To reduce the bitterness of the drink, add some honey or jaggery to it, or pair it with sweet fruits like apple or pears. You can even add lemon juice to lessen the harsh taste of bitter gourd juice. A pinch of black pepper and ginger can also decrease the tartness and make it more palatable.
It needs to be understood that nothing can substitute the importance of prescribed medicine and medical assistance. However, one can do a lot at home front to manage their diabetes well. Drinking a glass of bitter gourd juice could be one of them.

Pop Culture Happy Hour. The hosts there (who I often agree with) all seemed to like the show, so I decided to give it a try. At first, I thought it was pretty weird, but it has definitely grown on me, and I am hooked now. I sat down at lunchtime today to watch one episode and ended up watching three of them!
Chewing Gum is a quirky British comedy about a young woman who is naive but who craves some sexual experience. Tracey, played by Michaela Coel, has grown up in a small apartment in London in what I gather is the British equivalent of housing projects here in the US. Tracey is in her mid-20's but still lives at home with her mother, Joy (played by Shola Adewusi), and her sister, Cynthia (played by Susan Wokoma), who are both extremely religious. As a result, she has been seriously sheltered and has little life experience. Tracey's best friend, Candice, played by Danielle Walters, is far more worldly, with a serious (and hunky) boyfriend, though she still lives with her Nan in the projects, too.
At the start of season one, Tracey is determined to finally have sex and lose her virginity - she is more than a little obsessed with this mission! Her straight-laced boyfriend, Ronald, though, is just as religious as Tracey's family and seems immune to Tracey's increasingly aggressive advances. You can tell right away that this relationship isn't going to last long, and sure enough, Tracey is soon dating a white boy from the projects named Connor (though she doesn't dare tell her mother that).
This show is loud, colorful, and outrageous...and a whole lot of fun. Did I mention that it's quirky? Michaela Coel is wonderfully exuberant as Tracey (she also writes the show and created it and says it is semi-autobiographical). Tracey is very childlike, dressing in bright primary colors and wearing her hair in two long braids, and innocent, though she desperately wants to be a sophisticated, worldly woman. She is also incredibly endearing and lovable, and I was rooting for her right from the start.
This show is definitely not for everyone. It is quite crude and very open about sex, though Tracey's attempts to have sex are often more silly than sexy. The show is filmed in a unique way, with Tracey often speaking directly to the audience. It's very, very funny, but it also gives an inside view of what it is like to live in a housing project and tackles topics related to race and religion very frankly. Like I said, I am totally hooked now, in season 2, and can't wait to see what happens next.
Chewing Gum was originally broadcast on Channel 4 in the UK and is available now on Netflix.
I have had Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) since March 2002. Both of my sons also got ME/CFS at ages 6 and 10. Our younger son fully recovered after 10 years of mild illness. Our older son still has ME/CFS and also has Lyme disease plus two other tick infections. This blog is about how our family lives with chronic illness, with a focus on improving our conditions and enjoying our lives in spite of these challenges.

Korea Green Foundation and Lotte Department Store jointly donated 300 sets in value of 60 million won.
Korea Green Foundation and Lotte Department Store jointly donated on April 18 300 solar lamp sets, worth 60 million won, to Pasar Mingu Village, a slum in outskirt of Jakarta, Indonesia.
The donation ceremony was attended by Actor Ji Jin-hi, the honorary ambassador of Korea Green Foundation, Secretary General Lee Mi-gyeong of the Foundation and Executive Director Jeong Seung-in for Marketing Division at Lotte Department Store, as well as Director General Walikota of South Jakarta District, co-representatives Kelik and Diddy of GK Foundation in Jakarta.
Located in South Jakarta, Pasar Mingu Village is the second lowest in income with the highest density of poor households in the region. A 4-member family in the village consumes only about 40kW a month on average. And power supply to poor families is frequently cut around the end of a month.
Actor Ji Jin-hi said, "Solar lamps that allow people to illuminate houses any time are gifts of nature. I am happy to take part in such public benefit activities, and I feel really great about seeing children study in the evening."
Executive Director Jeong Seung-in for Marketing Division at Lotte Department Store said, "The company will seek ways of helping residents of the village continuously, instead of providing temporary supports, such as participation in improving polluted environment in habitual flooded regions around the Ciliwung River."
Since 2012, Korea Green Foundation has provided 3,000 solar lamp sets to Asian countries, including Indonesia, Nepal, Bangladesh and Cambodia. It aims to donate 10,000 solar lamp sets to these countries in this year with financial support of companies and citizens.
GK Foundation, a local NGO in Indonesia, will distribute these 300 solar lamp sets to families in the village who need them, and it will continuously monitor to improve usage rates.

A few days ago, I was scrolling down my Facebook timeline and came across the news story regarding Tiarah Poyau that just made me anrgy and sad at the same time. The story of how she was murdered- shot in the face at point blank range- by a man simply because she told him to "Get off of me" when he began grinding on her, gave me chills because I too, have been Tiarah Poyah many times before.
I am Tiarah because years ago, I went to a nightclub with my girlfriends and we all decided to get out on the dance floor and dance together. While we were dancing, some strange guy decided to jump up behind me and began grinding on my ass. I turned around and pushed him off of me, the same way Tiarah did her murderer.
I am Tiarah because while out with friends one night, a man walking past me from behind decided that he couldn't walk past me without brushing up against my ass when there was plenty of room for him to walk by without making bodily contact with me.
I am Tiarah because when I refused the advances of a different man, he proceeded to call me a bitch and tell me, "I wasn't cute anyway."
I am Tiarah because one of my mother's drug/alcohol suppliers, whom I'd never seen before in my life, obviously thought that I was easy and proceeded to hold his arms open, as if he expected me to hug him and when I didn't, he proceeded to tell me, "…I must not know who he is..look how good he looks and how flashy his car is…" before he proceeded to call me fat- among other things- and tell me that "I needed my attitude adjusted."
The only thing that separates me from Tiarah is the fact that by God's grace, I wasn't shot and killed by the many men who's advances I have rejected in the past. I don't know when, where, and why so many Black men became so narcissistic…when their egos became so damn fragile that instead of simply moving the hell along if/when a woman is not interested in them, they take her life instead. The sheer audacity of this irks the hell out of me. I have been rejected by many men in my life. Does it hurt? Yes. But to kill someone simply because they are not interested in you is a growing problem, sadly within the Black community, that we cannot and should not be expected to continue to ignored.
Over the past few years, I've read several tragic news stories that are similar to Tiarah's: A Black woman rejects a man's advances and she ends up losing her life because of it. Mary Spears, for example, was killed in 2014 during a family outing when she declined giving a man her number after telling him that she was already involved with someone (she was out with her fiance). Seriously, when did this generation of men become so superior to Black women, especially, that they feel they have the right to approach women at random, then get in their feelings and resort to name-calling, belittling, and even murdering the woman because she's uninterested? It's these same Black men who are out here killing us (Black women) that go on and on about how Black Lives Matter, how the 'white man' is killing and mistreating us, how we (Black people) need to stick together. But why don't Black Women's Lives Matter to Black Men? I really need to know the answer to this question.
It baffles me that Black men want Black women to stand beside them, stand up for them, take up for them, have their backs..yet, they don't have ours. Nate Parker has been in the news lately, more because of the rape he committed against a woman when he was in college than for his movie about Nat Turner, 'The Birth Of A Nation.' Nate and a friend raped a woman, but because Nate had apparently had previous consensual sex with the woman, he didn't get convicted of her rape. His friend, however, did. The woman claims-before she committed suicide- that Nate and his friends constantly harassed her after the rape.
All up and down my Faceboook timeline, I've seen countless Black men go on and on about how "Hollywood is only coming after Nate Parker because of the Nat Turner movie," and that "white actors have raped women, yet they're not criticized as much as Nate is…it's because he's Black." And it pisses me off each and every time I read ridiculous comments like that. So, because Nate is a Black man, we're supposed to excuse what he did. Yes, the argument is he didn't get convicted or go to jail, so that mean's he's innocent. Well, guess what- George Zimmerman didn't go to prison for murdering an unarmed 17 year old Trayvon Martin, either. That doesn't mean his ass wasn't guilty or commit the crime. Regardless of whether Nate Parker went to jail/prison or not, I, for one, am still not excusing his crime, simply because he is a Black man. And yes, I am well-aware of corrupt police brutality and the 'shoot first, ask questions later' mentality that seems to apply to people of color, and I am just as angry about it as the next Black person. But being a Black man doesn't give you power or control over our bodies or the the right to touch a woman- using any part of your body- when/if you see fit. Black women aren't obligated to want to be with you, Black man; nor does our sexuality or our bodies belong to you.
Black men, I love y'all. But some of you have a very warped train of thought, especially when it comes to sexual violence against your own Black women. Expecting us to ignore the rape, verbal abuse, sexual abuse, mental & emotional abuse, and even murder that is sadly being imposed on us by some(not all) of you, is offensive, demeaning, degrading, dangerous, and unsettling, to say the least. Some of the main arguments I hear from Black men regarding Black women who choose to date White men is: "That white man don't want you, he only wants to have sex with you. You're going to become the White man's whore?! How can you as a Black woman sleep with a white man after the way our Black ancestors were constantly raped, killed, and forced to bear the children of white slave masters?" To the Black men who feel that a Black woman is a disgrace to her race for dating anyone other than a Black man, or who expects Black women to ignore sex crimes committed against women by men we see on tv like Nate Parker and Bill Cosby, ask yourselves how you can shoot a Black woman in the face simply because she doesn't want you touching her or speaking to her in a derogatory, sexually explicit nature? How are you any different than those white slave owners who felt entitled to a Black woman's body…who felt that it was their God-given right to pluck one his Black slave girls off the plantation or from her cabin, take her off, and have his way with her? See how that makes you a big hypocrite? Just stop it, please and thank you.

We had a great time visiting Minnesota. We stayed at the Grand Casino in Hinkley. Hinkley is north of Minn/St Paul and, believe it or not, the closest campground we could find for the dates needed.
My nephew and his family moved to Minnesota a couple of years ago. He has faithfully returned to the west coast and we have faithfully "promised" we would visit Minnesota -- soon. There was no way we were not seeing them.
Ben was so impressed with our home that he decided to move in with us. Took a couple of minutes to convince him he needed to go with daddy. But Uncle Ray came through with a camp over while I was in Oregon.
No fish (of course) so a quick game of Frisbee golf.
THEN - we got to see Ben on the ice. What fun to watch Ben show off his stuff. We didn't know what he was doing, but he looked really good and fast!
MALL OF AMERICA - I'm not much of a shopper since I retired but I couldn't pass up the chance of visiting the Mall of America. Ray and I dodged all the freeway construction and headed out to the Mall of America located by the airport. It was fun to see the amusement park in the middle of the mall. Most of the stores were the same as the malls we have in Oregon. I was hoping to see the QVC store but couldn't find it...it might be closed.
The lego store was as impressive as the rides. Juli told me you could rent a room in Legoland for $250 per hour for parties. hmmmmm
STATE FAIR - they say the Minnesota State Fair is one of the largest in the nation. It was large and hot (97 degrees). We arrived mid-day on Sunday and quickly found a parking spot. Things were looking good. Then we set out to find shade and fun things to do, see and eat. By evening, we had tickets for the Grand Stand - Dwight Yoakum and Sheryl Crowe performing. As we were walking to our car, there were fireworks -- right on top of us. Made us giggle and run like heck to the car. A great day at the fair.

text: Report post Posted February 22, 2015 So everything seems to indicate BM as the spec for BRF after 6.1 comes out. My question is on Azor's guide on BM it says haste is the best stat very slightly over mastery. I know BM hunters for CMs stack mastery for the cleave, would that be the same rationale for 6.1 raiding or would you still enchant as haste for some reason?

8-10 sentences for Weekend Writing Warriors - Grand Master's Pawn #3
16 comments:
It could be just conjecture, but I've never heard of pawns having an easy go of things. ;) Still, really great snippet with a well built setting. :)ReplyDeleteReplies
There wouldn't be a story if it was easy!Delete
I'm with Amy. The whole concept of being a pawn sounds like it will end badly. But then, Violet does have an ace up her sleeve. (or does she?)ReplyDeleteReplies
She gets to the other side of the board, eventually.Delete
Love the idea that she can see the grand masters when they're supposed to be concealed. I have the feeling the next stage will be much more difficult.ReplyDelete
As successful as she's been, I can't help feeling that her deception will come back to bite her in the end.ReplyDeleteReplies
Things get worse before they improve.Delete
Pawn, though. Pawns don't have a lot of power usually do they? Still, if the game is properly played...ReplyDeleteReplies
The chess analogy is like Alice Though the Looking Glass.Delete
Yay! For now. I'm a little worried as to why she passed exactly. She might not be the only person (being?) around with hidden goals.ReplyDelete
I hope she doesn't get overconfident from her first success. Really enjoying the story! Can't wait to read more...ReplyDelete
Nice world-building, Aurora. The lighted spheres on black cylinders pulled me in. I'm intrigued--I just bought it on Amazon. Not sure when I'll get to it, but I have it downloaded so it doesn't slip by me. :-)ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm finishing Book 2 and posting snippets on SFFSat.

Charlie Pussy Galore No Balls Johnson at Little Green Turtle Turds
This cretin calls himself a "conservative". If he is a conservative and if his Obama seat cushion co-sniffer Andrew Sullivan is a conservative, I am Wee Willie Wonka. It is obvious that Charlie has no understanding of the United States Constitution or he is educated beyond his intelligence level. I suppose that is why Memeorandum picked him up for a hit piece on the Fox Nation. I will not link to LGTT at this site so you will have to go to Memeorandum to click on the Charlie child's piece.
Listen up, people. With all of the nefarious distractions being placed in front of us all, the key to defeat Obama is not his "radical" Marxism political coup but his origin. Who is he and why does he spend so much money fighting to reveal his "real" birth certificate.
Charlie and others call us Birthers. Two can play that kid's game, Charlie. Charlie's new name...DOB...diahhrea of the brain.

Ishatvam 9, an apartment building in Ranchi, India, is above ground. That's important to note, since a passerby looking at the impressive residential building might get the wrong impression. The building's balconies, on top of providing a stunning view of the surrounding city and landscape, are shaped as though they're being viewed through water, while gentle ripples distort and refract their forms.
Ishatvam 9's underwater effect is achieved through the use of three-dimensional space. Not only are the balcony's frames oddly angled trapezoids that seem to each be unique from all the others, but a broad upper platform also angles inward from the upper edge of each balcony frame, adding a layer of depth that would otherwise be lost in the building. That depth makes the building look interesting rather than nauseous.

Godin Goads Us To Get Creative
The Industrial Age Is Over
So says uber marketing guru Seth Godin. On Friday, Goden spoke with Kai Ryssdal of Markeplace fame about the flux that our economy has been going through and how every single one of us has to change what we think about our roles in the workplace.
For Godin, the answer is simple: the industrial age is over. To make it in this new era, you're going to have to use your creativity and ingenuity, not your muscle and your ability to take orders.
To be sure, Godin has a great point. Since 2001, we've seen some 40,000 factories close. Some of these factory closings were a result of outsourcing, but some of them were simply a result of a new engine driving the U.S. economy: one of idea-based rather than labor-based jobs.
Like Billy Joel's "Allentown," we're closing all the factories down and, as Springsteen's foreman said, these jobs are going boys, and they ain't coming back.
Many are bemoaning this sea change, pining for the days of old when a hard day's work in a factory automatically got you a pension and a slice of the "American Dream." But the world keeps on, and the jobs we create from here on out will look a lot different than the ones we've lost.
"The Industrial Age is dying," says Godin. "We now have an abundance of almost everything — an abundance of spectrum, an abundance of resources…what's scarce are human beings who are willing to stand up and say, 'Me. I'm ready. Here. It's done.'"
The trick is, can we adjust our sails in time to meet this new age's challenges?

I've just watched Spider-Man at Westfield London and oh my god is it a great return to the big screen for Spidey.
I really liked how this movie focuses on his high school life and how he struggles to balance his teenage life with going around helping people in the neighbour hood. One thing that stood out to me is the range of situations Spider-Man found himself in. They were all "petty" crimes but it's not like every night you'll see machine gun wielding baddies in the streets – which is a pretty common depiction in a lot of Super hero movies. It's really fun, he helps an old lady with directions, stops a bicycle thief and even prevents a man from breaking into his own car! That was hilarious. It just shows how his intentions are good but at the end of the day, he's still very inexperienced.
His surrounding characters were great. They stood out as their own characters and were funny most of the time. Michelle, in my point of view, is so stalking Peter. I really got the feeling she was into him the second scene she was in. One thing that confused me was that his main love interest was Liz, not MJ. That threw me off a bit but it's revealed at the end of the movie that Michelle's friends call her "MJ"! WUT! I literally jumped when she said that.
Michael Keaton is great as the Vulture. He's not just an evil guy with evil plans. We see how his world get's flipped upside down because "the people who wrecked the city is getting paid to clean it up". He turns to stealing alien technology from the government, who snatched his livelihood away from him. This guy saw this as a way to provide for his family. It's wrong but I felt sympathetic as to why he turned to a life of crime. Imagine my surprise when Peter goes to pick up his date to go to homecoming and the Vulture opens the door – my jaw dropped to the ground. It's like, what's he- did he capture- wait- date's dad…? Uh oh… the situation was funny because of Peter's face and actions but in the scene after this it definitely changes. As Liz talks about the past few days events, you see how Vulture is connecting the dots and putting together that Peter, is Spider-Man. I just loved how all that played out. The dad talk scene was also expertly delivered.
Although I saw the ship scene in the trailer it was still amazing to see how he tried to keep the ship from tearing apart. The lift scene was great because it really displayed that Spider-Man isn't going to just appear from nowhere, he has to actually climb to get to places. It's just awesome.
Tony Stark takes his suit away because Peter endangered the lives of innocent people and Peter pleads to let him keep it because "he's nothing without that suit". Iron Man's response was "if you're nothing without the suit then you don't deserve it" – something along those lines. It's a lesson Tony learnt in Iron Man 3 that even without his suit of armour he is Iron Man. I like how he passed that onto Peter.
My favourite scene in the whole movie is when Peter gets pinned down by parts of a fallen building. His first instinct is to call for help, you can feel his desperation and how frightened he must be – it reminds us that he's just a kid. He stops and sees his reflection with half his mask on and half of his face. It's then he starts to realise what Iron Man meant. It's then that we see him truly decide to be something greater.
I love the action in this movie, it feels very Spider-Man. I know that's an odd thing to say but his actions were just as I expect how Spider-Man would move. Only small irk is that this Spider-Man's spider sense didn't seem to trigger all that often. In Civil War, we see it happen and he dodges something Bucky throws at him. It would be enough if we saw this in a couple of scenes just before he gets ambushed or before the building collapses on him.
Spider-Man Homecoming also has the best end credit scene in a Marvel movie. The second after credits scene was hilarious! It was Captain America's video about patience and how sometimes, it just doesn't seem to pay off…. oh my god. That was hilarious. The whole cinema burst out in laughter.
Side note: I saw the first Spider-Man movie the morning after and it hasn't aged very well.
Spider-Man Homecoming is the best Spider-Man movie in my point of view so it's a really easy recommendation for anyone to go see it.

Communication breakdown DHS operations during a cyber attack
Download Record
Corzine, Larry M.
Denning, Dorothy
Dahl, Eric J.
MetadataShow full item record
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) leverages information technology to increase the effectiveness of first responders during disaster recovery. At the same time, cyber attacks against these information technologies have significantly increased. Unfortunately, cyber attacks have grown faster than the technologies used to defend them. The reliance on technology coupled with the difficulty of defending it makes it unrealistic to assume that communications will always be available when needed. Therefore, it is critical that first responders are prepared to operate when one or some of their communications abilities are lost. Alarmingly, DHS has the responsibility to prepare first responders to operate during disasters; however, they lack the authority to enforce programs to ensure this happens. This lack of authority affects how first responders communicate and provides gaps in DHS efforts to prepare for disasters. Until DHS has the authority to enforce change across all levels of government, communications will not be guaranteed during disaster recovery operations. However, DHS could leverage communication outages during operational exercises to better prepare first responders. This thesis explores DHS exercises on the federal, state and local levels and how they are preparing first responders to operate through cyber attacks.

Commemorating our 1st Issue Release of the EVO SS on the left.
All posts for the month June, 2009
Commemorative Red Special K's E-Sheet. This Chase Edition features our new "Black Chrome-Dip" 6 Spokes Rims.
There's red, then there's RED! Bright red is one of the toughest colors to produce. I've seen some reds out there that tend to look dull and brownish. Next release will feature our first solid color gloss red on our EVO, and it turned out very sharp. Below: All the EVO's you see in the below pictures were rejected. The color was nice and bright but didn't pass one of our requirments. Yes, they were all striped down, re-prepped, and re-painted.
Here's a sample photo sent to me awhile back. Check out our new process called "Dip Plating", not a VUM (vacuum) process but a dip. You'll see the black chrome dip on our new Special K's!
Samples from China. I've seen these already and approved many of the operations involved, but haven't seen it all together until now. Wow! They look great! I'll photograph these in a bit…
Congratulations KOBE & the Lakers!! You deserve it!

Windows 8.1 Pro 64-Bit
Two windows 7 machines "crash dump initialization failed"
Hey guys,
So I have two VMs. Both running Windows 7, not connected to the internet or any domain. They have local IPs and only communicate with the master machine (which works fine).
Those two machines are like replicas. Both have the same specs (4GB RAM, about 50GB of space).
Recently they started acting up. At the beginning I thought it was the explorer process crashing, but eventually I realized that it might not be related. Almost everyday, when I go on the machine, I type in my local admin password and see nothing but black screen. No desktop, no icons, no taskbar. Ctrl + alt + delete brings up the menu but nothing from there.
Looking at Event Viewer I see the same error on both machines, in the same order.
Example: http://prntscr.com/i15uc4
These error are in the same order always. Always two, then a few information logs, then the third one. Another example: http://prntscr.com/i15v0e
I don't know what to do, and google didn't bring many helpful tips.

Hi BDani,
Could be way off here.
Master machine is connected to the Net and i assume is updated
VM's are not
There are some vague references that this is caused by a permissions problem, now from what you said
Login get blank screen - its possible that the Updated Master has had its SMB1 permissions changed to NOT accept this type of handshake
Anything showing in the Master's logs permissions/login failures
Things that don't work after SMB1 is disabled
You could run sfc /scannow on them, but as both machines are showing the same errors.
possibly more informative follow these instructions, see if we can gleen anything more

Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (WHS Act)
The Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (WHS Act) provides a framework to protect the health, safety and welfare of all workers at work. It also protects the health and safety of all other people who might be affected by the work.
All workers are protected by the WHS Act, including:
- employees
- contractors
- subcontractors
- outworkers
- apprentices and trainees
- work experience students
- volunteers
- employers who perform work.
The WHS Act also provides protection for the general public so that their health and safety is not placed at risk by work activities.
The WHS Act places the primary health and safety duty on a person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU). The PCBU must ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety of workers at the workplace. Duties are also placed on officers of a PCBU, workers and other persons at a workplace.
All duties under the WHS Act are qualified by the term reasonably practicable.
The WHS Act also sets out the requirements for the following:
- incident notification
- consultation with workers
- issue resolution
- inspector powers and functions
- offences and penalties.

National Quality Standard (NQS)
The National Quality Framework (NQF) was the result of an agreement between all Australian governments to work together to provide better educational and developmental outcomes for children.
The NQF introduced a new quality standard in 2012 to improve education and care across long day care, family day care, preschool/kindergarten, and outside school hours care.
The National Quality Standard (NQS) is a key aspect of the National Quality Framework (NQF) and sets a high, national benchmark for early childhood education and care, and outside school hours care services in Australia.
It gives services and families a better understanding of a quality service, helping families to make informed decisions about the services providing education and care to their child. The NQS brings together the 7 key quality areas that are important to outcomes for children.
The aim of Quality Area 2 under the NQS is to safeguard and promote children's health and safety, minimise risks and protect children from harm, injury and infection.
All children have the right to experience quality education and care in an environment that provides for their physical and psychological wellbeing and provides support for each child's growing competence, confidence and independence.
In particular Standard 2.3 requires that each child is protected and provides the following elements:
Element 2.3.1
Children are to be adequately supervised at all times.
Element 2.3.2
Every reasonable precaution is taken to protect children from harm and any hazard likely to cause injury.
Element 2.3.3
Plans to effectively manage incidents and emergencies are developed in consultation with relevant authorities, practised and implemented.
Element 2.3.4
Educators, coordinators and staff members are aware of their roles and responsibilities to respond to every child at risk of abuse or neglect.
Source: Australian Children's Education & Care Quality Authority
The Small Safe Steps program provides you with all the tools, guidance and resources to help you meet your obligations under both the WHS Act and Standard 2.3 of the NQS.

Our day at the Mall of America was really fun. We started with a quick ride on the Hot Air Balloons and then off to lunch at Rainforest Cafe. I really love that place, but my sweet and very sensitive Emily, cried through most of it and plugged her ears through almost all of it (even asking me to feed her). We were sat right in the middle of the gorilla room and boy was it loud and evidently scary too. Kind of funny to see Allison and Grace across the table from us loving every minute and pretending to be monkeys themselves. They had a blast!
Taking pictures in Lego Land. The Lego sculptures are enormous!
Two of a kind.
I love that at this age we can walk right past American Girl and no one even notices.
All aboard!
We were pretty surprised that we both fit in there with all five kiddos.
I think this was Hudson's first ride.
I never got a good picture of it, but Hudson loved to grab at Sam's hair, and Sam would just giggle the whole time because it tickled.
Hudson is a good on-the-go napper. This little boy is just precious!
Couldn't resist a picture of my big guy. :)
The Merry-Go-Round is always a favorite.
And the roller coaster was hilarious. I sat with Sam and my little daredevil thought it was great fun. Even Virginia (aka Noonie) enjoyed it.
Allison sat in the front row all by herself. What a big girl!
Of course Emily wouldn't get near this one.
We finished our time with the Ferris Wheel. I still have yet to go on it, but I'm sure the view is great from up there.
I've got at least one more post about our week-end, but bye for now. I'm about to go catch some sun in the backyard with the girls, sip some lemonade and nurse my poor arms and hands that were butchered at the Dr.'s office this morning. Just the normal cholesterol and glucose test (now that I'm over 35). Five pricks later, and lots of digging, they finally got what they needed. But the bruises are already starting to show up and man does it hurt. Ouch!
Oh and a little teaser for you. Amy and I are going to a book-signing this Saturday night. And we will be giving away a signed copy of "___________" on the blog next week. Can you guess which book it is and which amazing woman we are so excited to meet? Never a dull moment around here!

Big Data in Financial Services and Banking (White Paper)
Authors: Oracle Enterprise
Title of Journal: Oracle Enterprise Architecture White Paper
Volume Number: 1
Date: February 2015
Author's Purpose: To find and provide an overall overview for the adoption of the information system technique known as Big Data alongside traditional analytic understandings to develop the architecture of the next generation of financial institutions and regulations in the banking industry.
Approach or Methods: This paper studies current trends in Big Data outside of the banking and financial world and applies similar nuances towards the banking industry, to help figure out how the architectural pattern can fit in the operational abilities of a banking institution. By applying these methods theoretically towards a banking atmosphere, they showcase and predict the efficiency of advanced Big Data integration in forwarding the motives and strategies of the banking industry.
Hypothesis: The authors of this white paper believe that by using information technology or information systems properly, the customer experience can be enhanced in both business and retail banking, assisting in the growth of fee-based and interest-based revenue. They see that only through a complete adoption of Big Data can a banking institution fully reap the benefits of what it can provide. Big Data sources can include ATMs, call centers, credit cards, mortgage units, debit cards, mobile and web-based sources, and many more sources that banks already have access to.
Review and Remarks:
Understanding the effects of implementing Big Data on the banking industry requires heavily studying its potential effects and how these can assist an individual bank. Personally, I believe that dealing with Big Data in the banking industry is a two-way street: on one hand, the proper implementation of this knowledge can assist any bank in understanding how to better serve its clientele and provide better services
Conclusion: To find the best results for the adoption of Big Data, there must be a true alignment between the information system architecture deployment and design with the business goals and needs of the company. The key sponsors must be engaged at all times to create the best success possible. There must be an understanding of the current state of the company and its current relationship with information system and how this can move forward to the intended state where Big Data and other related information systems are predominantly used. As banking and financial institutions are highly competitive, it is assured by the authors of this paper that those who take advantage of information system elements such as Big Data first will be those who will lead the financial world into the future, and they will be the first to develop and invent better products, services, and processes, thus attracting the best and most customers available. All banking institutions must be quick in the adoption of Big Data and other information system methods to compete with the future of the industry.

The Evolving Understanding of Information Systems: A Response to P.B. Checkland's Information Systems and Systems Thinking: Time to Unite?
Paper Title : Information Systems and Systems Thinking: Time to Unite? Journal Title : International journal of Information management (1988), 8 (239-248). Author : Checkland P. B
Summery of Content of Paper
Ray J. Paul's white paper editorial entitled Challenges to Information Systems: Time to Change is an interesting analysis on the problem currently facing the Information Systems world, although whether or not this ten-year paper is still accurate in today's world is certainly a question that should be addressed. Paul's ideas on why Information Systems or IS seems to be a field that is slowly closing in on itself do have some merit, although perhaps the direction of his definition of what Information Systems should be called is exactly the problem that the field of Information Systems or IS faces. In other words, perhaps the reason why those outside of the IS community do not understand what Information Systems is (and therefore do not respect it) is simply because it shouldn't be a separate field from IT or IT management in the first place.
In Paul's definition of Information Systems, he seems to struggle to sick to a single, universal definition, even while purporting to find one for the sake of a definition. The problem is not that no one in Information Systems is enough of a wordsmith to pinpoint an accurate definition that everyone can agree on; rather, the problem is with the field itself. There seems to be an internal disagreement on what areas Information Systems covers, and this disagreement may stem from the fact that the line between the Information Systems field and those adjoining it are too close; the Venn Diagram of the IS fields and related fields overlap so widely that we are struggling to define the niche that we purport to represent. And in the effort to define this niche, we are only further proving that what we do in the Information Systems field is something that is already accomplished by holistically educated individuals in related fields.
And this is a problem that perhaps may only be resolved through an acceptance of the similarities between the Information Systems field and those surrounding it. Once we stop struggling to define the tiny and specific corner that Information Systems covers alone will we come to a universal understanding of what we seek to accomplish through these studies. There should be no subtle shame or resistance in the acceptance that the knowledge and theory practice by Information Systems is shared by those in Information Management, Information Technology and other related fields, in the same way that various studies in the Humanities have little resistance towards sharing their own knowledge and definitions between their fields.
While Paul's attempt at understanding the problems behind crafting a consistent understanding of what Information Systems truly is, he only reinforces the problem by delving deeper into the specialization of the field, as the deeper one's knowledge of the field needs to be to have any chance of understanding what the field represents, the more removed it will be from the general population, thus further ostracizing the field from those who do not already know it and further minimalizing any possibility of it becoming bigger than it is.
