I have never been so happy for a Google page to load! Tuesday marked the end to our internet connection drought....after two weeks! The day it flaked out my hubby disconnected and reconnected the cables, router, etc. You name it and he tried it. Nothing worked. I told him from the get go it was Time Warner fiddling with something, especially since the outage came right after the new year. Then like magic, during the latest snow storm, bam it's back up. I guess they decided not to leave us destitute if our phones quit working so we'd have some way to get help :0)
Regardless, in those bleak days when I couldn't surf to my hearts content, I learned that I've started relying on the the Web for tons of stuff. I have my browser set to open to Webster.com, so I can check words when I need to. It meant no fact checking. I couldn't see if I had new e-mails or Facebook posts. No researching publishers or agents either, which I'd planned to do on a day off from my full time job.
I'd resorted to checking the connection via my new Kindle around bed time during the first couple of days. Every time I sat down at the computer, I'd click the IE icon, only to see the page can't be loaded message. I'd try Yahoo after Google. No go.
What did I do instead? I wrote! In fact, I started a new book. Today I'm proud to say it's up to 13,000+ words! I've been setting a timer each day so I can get in at least 30 minutes of writing time. If I'm on a roll I keep going until I'm at a stopping point or I have to do something else. I can't say every day has been easy, especially when I got frustrated and had to leave asterisks as a reminder to fill in facts, but I've enjoyed the time. Especially because I got use to the freedom of not being connected.
Gone was the pull to see what people were up to, to see if I had a new message, to read all the headlines or just look up things I wanted to check into. I simply couldn't...unless I used my super brief breaks at work. Which could've opened a whole new can of worms.
Now it's back to the normal grind, but I'm trying to stay as unconnected as I can. :0) I don't want to mess up the good writing thing I have going.
What couldn't you live without if you lost your internet connection?

Oh Skylar! I know how you felt being without the Internet for so long. It's happened to me too and I always feel as if I'm having Withdrawal Pains, LOL. But your observations about the time sink it poses is so true too.
Congrats on getting so much writing done. Sometimes I think I need to Disconnect on purpose just to get more writing done myself.

1. The-Queen,
Hello everybody,
As the subject mentions, I want to ask why do many people post useless topics in the forum?
That is my question, and now the some suggestion about that.
Guys, private messaging system is created in playroom exactly for topics that players should share between each other.
In PPM as I call it, which means permanent private messages you can create a group of people to chat to.
You can also go to a free table and have a conversation over there.
I do not think that topics like blocks, songs or whatever else that is not really regarding the game is really accurate to be posted in here.
This is what I wanted to share an opinion about.
Do not take it offensively. Everybody has their own opinion and everybody has the right to say it, even though sometimes or most of the times arguments happen. I hope you all have a great day, night or afternoon depending on the place you live.

NIAGARA FALLS—Niagara County economic development officials will pitch the county to global commerce giant Amazon as an optimal site to expand its entry into foreign markets and optimize legal free-trade and international commerce opportunities in an era when multilateral trade treaties are undergoing increasing scrutiny at the federal level.
The chairwoman of the Niagara County Legislature's Economic Development Committee and other county leaders directed the Niagara County Center for Economic Development staff to put their full attentions into developing a "serious proposal that leverages Niagara County's very unique trade benefits" in response to Amazon's plan to build a second, $5 billion headquarters to complement its Seattle base.
"With the NAFTA free trade pact under intense review by the Trump Administration, the rules underpinning global commerce, including bilateral trade with our largest trade partner, Canada, may change," Economic Development Committee Chairwoman Kathryn Lance, R-Wheatfield, said. "Niagara County is unique in that it offers security for low-cost entry into foreign markets and a location in the Niagara-Buffalo Metro Region with its 1.1 million people."
Niagara County Legislature Economic Development Committee Chairwoman Kathryn L. Lance, R-Wheatfield,
and Niagara County Industrial Development Agency Board Member William L. Ross discuss development
opportunities at the Niagara County International Airport in this undated file photo.
Lance pointed to Niagara County's Foreign Trade Zone—a legally-defined, federally-chartered piece of geography located adjacent to the Niagara Falls International Airport. The county's Foreign Trade Zone was authorized under a 1970s-era U.S. law that encouraged the creation of specific areas near ports of entry where commercial merchandise would be exempted from Customs duties and ad valorem taxes, according to representatives of the Niagara County Industrial Development Agency.
"In an era of drop shipping and three-day-long logistics trains and where supply chain management is at the heart of efforts to reduce the costs of doing business our borders cannot needlessly slow producers goods from reaching their customers on time, all the time," Lance explained after meeting with Commissioner of Economic Development Sam Ferraro and directing him to begin compiling a proposal for Amazon. "Our FTZ can take advantage of precisely the savings in time and tariffs needed to succeed at international trade."
Lance has been aggressively marketing the FTZ for months, ever since a Canadian firm set up a large-scale operation there to finish product assembly, packing, and shipping for client companies earlier this year. Much of the FTZ's acreage remains undeveloped—a fact Lance shared with Canadian politicians, business leaders, and trade experts at a June conference in Canada's Niagara Region, where she served as keynote speaker.
"Our FTZ is not just about U.S.-Canada trade," Lance noted. "It's also trade bound for Asia, Latin America and of high importance our great trading partners in Europe."
Legislature Majority Leader Randy R. Bradt, R-North Tonawanda, who is also a member of Lance's Economic Development Committee, said he planned to look closely at incentive packages that the county government could roll out for Amazon if it sited in Niagara County, and said he would reach out to state leaders to ensure the county made the best possible case.
Niagara County Legislature Majority Leader Randy R. Bradt speaks in the Legislative Chambers at the Niagara County Courthouse in Lockport.
"[Amazon CEO] Jeff Bezos has built an amazing company, and the kind of employer we'd welcome here—and work very hard to attract. I expect to work closely with our Niagara County Industrial Development Agency as well as state Sen. Robert Ortt and Assemblyman Angelo Morinello to ensure that Niagara County can make a strong case to put before Amazon's corporate decisionmakers," Bradt said. "But really, the case for locating here is strong based on geographic facts alone."
Bradt pointed to the county's relative close proximity to the Boston-New York-Washington corridor, just over 300 miles away, its 46 air miles or 81 road miles to Toronto, its 215 miles to Cleveland, and its 240 miles to Amazon's massive distribution warehouse in Pittsburgh as selling points for the county.
"First and foremost, right next to our tariff-free Foreign Trade Zone, we have an airport with a very long runway, a modern freight terminal, and plenty of freight capacity," Bradt said. "Amazon could optimize an HQ2 Niagara site for international commerce while avoiding the heavy trade penalties that operating from virtually any other site in the U.S. could entail, and could move significant amounts of freight through that airport given its ability to handle large cargo jets."
Bradt pointed to 2014 investor data that showed Amazon's non-North American sales equaling 38% of the online retail giant's market
"Those foreign markets are growing. Anywhere else, Amazon pays a heavy penalty to enter many of those markets, and for the foreseeable future, will not necessarily get relief in Washington," Bradt said. "We can help them target foreign markets in a way few other communities can."
Bradt noted that the FTZ could be of significant value should the North American Free Trade Agreement be revoked or curtailed in coming months or years.
Legislator Rebecca Wydysh, R-Lewiston, whose district includes the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge, noted that it is the optimal point of entry to gain quick access to the Golden Horseshoe and the Greater Toronto area.
"You have four nearby bridges into Canada and the 'Golden Horseshoe'—26 percent of Canada's entire population, and all in under 100 miles by road," Wydsh said. "This includes a short, direct route to the truck-traffic heavy Lewiston-Queenston Bridge—and just a 14-mile drive from our tariff-free Foreign Trade Zone."
Lance noted that Niagara County, with its world-famous Niagara Falls, plenty of available low-cost downtown commercial space, and a family-friendly environment that has introduced a number of venues targeting Millennial consumers in recent years, could offer a good quality-of-life setting for Amazon corporate personnel.
"'Work Hard. Have Fun. Make History,' Lance said. "That's Amazon's slogan. It could be Niagara County's as well. Our Center for Economic Development will ensure that Amazon doesn't lose sight of that even as it lays out our trade benefits and devises a package of economic incentives."

After the terrorist attacks in America on Sept. 11,
2001, U.S. immigration laws were tightened, particularly for college students from foreign countries. With the
stricter laws in place and the Patriot Act that followed,
international students had additional obstacles to deal
with before they could attend any American college or
However, determination, a strong desire and dreams
of attending college in the United States made it possi
ble for many of these students to make the jouriiey to
Pasadena and attend classes at PCC.
The college currently has 880 students from 23 foreign lands including Japan, South Korea, Taiwan,
China, Europe and Latin America.
Business major Minal Chadhany is just one of the
international students who pays $151 per unit to attend
PCC. However, she feels the price is a good deal. "We're
getting an excellent education comparable to the first
two years of a four-year university," Chadhany said.
"For my parents in India, $ 151 per unit is expensive."

"Because of my good professors like
Dr. Allen Dooley in [the] computer
science division and my Spanish
professor, it is worth every penny
attending classes here. PCC professors do care about their students."
Chadhany was born and raised
in the city of Ahmedabad, India, a
country that was once under British
rule. Even though her city was ruled
by an English-speaking nation, she
never learned to read or write
English until she came to PCC to
start ESL classes.
Chadhany and the majority of
international students at PCC have

With patience, Chadhany completed her general education

"Pepperdine University is like
PCC," she said. "Professors are
eager to share their academic

County listing in 67 counties simultaneously can drive one a bit nuts. There has to be a way to cut down on the multiple directions I am drawn. I do this by creating a filter of goals and thresholds to guide the decision-making process when a birding opportunity (migration event, rare bird sighting, road trip) occurs. I want to get 150+ species in all counties, 200+ in 34 counties (more than half), 250+ in 10 counties, and 300+ in four counties. I also want 100 species on my All-County List. That is I want 100 species that I have seen in each and every county. Therefore, when a Say's phoebe (which I already have in three counties) is reported in DeSoto County in late October, I can run it through my filters to see if I want to chase. DeSoto County is at 150 species. I have hit 150, but am nowhere near 200. There are some species getting near the All-County List such as American coot, Ring-necked duck, and Summer tanager. It's a little late for tanager and the others are more likely later in the year. I still need the migrant thrushes for DeSoto and Hardee to the north, so I could manage a trip to the county line in the early AM and get them a little closer. But, for the most part, I am probably better off hitting the area at a later date for winter stuff or another time for thrushes.
However, when Michael Brothers calls me to report a Willow flycatcher he found at Lake Woodruff NWR that morning, it's a different story. Willow flycatcher is very hard to find in Florida. They are migrants only and are usually silent. Empidonax flycatchers are notoriously difficult to identify and Willow and Alder (formerly considered one species,Traill's flycatcher) are even harder to separate. Call notes and songs of the two species are fairly easy to distinguish, but they are often silent in migration. Recently, there has been in increase in sightings (hearings) of Alder flycatcher in Florida. Willows are beginning to follow suit. Until recently, I still needed Willow for my Florida list. One has spent nearly two months in Dade recently and it furnished me with my first for Florida. So Willow is not a state bird or anywhere near the All-County list. Enter the 300 Club. Brevard, my native county, is the only member at 358. Volusia, it's neighbor to the north, was sitting at 293 species. At that level, there is little or no "low-hanging fruit." Add to that, the fact that we were heading down I-95 from St. Augustine and we were not that far from Lake Woodruff, and my wonderful wife Dee was willing to detour to the refuge to let me look for the bird, and we are on our way.
We arrived around 1400 and quickly headed out to the spot where Michael heard the bird. There is a dense, wet swamp of Red maple and willow trees not far from the trailhead. Time of day was not great. It was hot and humid and little tiny flycatchers are prone to just sit silently at this time of day. I was not prepared to stay until near sunset when flycatchers are prone to call and feed more actively. The prospect of rain seemed unlikely. Brief rain storms often bring out brief periods and activity in songbirds in the afternoon. This is what happened when I got my first Willow flycatcher in Florida at Lucky Hammock in Dade County. A short duration storm passed through and in a 3-5 minute period, four Alders and one Willow flycatcher called for me. That was not going to happen this day.
Bob Wallace called me to let me know that he was also stopping by on the way home, he from New Smyrna Beach. Bob and I set up at different spots along the swamp edge and he eventually heard the bird call twice. I came down to where he was and we eventually set up near where he heard the bird and where Michael last heard and briefly saw the bird. Eventually, Bob headed off to take home his fresh fish on ice to prepare for supper. I was weighting the options of heading home and trying again the next day, or staying a little longer. The bird could take off during the night, but it would be fairly active early on if it stays. I was texting Dee to get her feelings on the subject (she had walked back to the car to get hydrated) when the bird called 3-4 times right near me, very low to the ground. I ran around the corner to find Bob still in the area. We came back and looked and listened some more, but neither of us had the time to keep at it. I was happy to count #294 for Volusia. That's four new Volusia birds in recent days, ever so closer to 300!
The other counties on the list to enter the 300 club are Dade with 289 and Palm Beach with 288. Dade has many low-hanging fruit that hang from Toe's (Roberto Torres) new boat. One good Toelagic (pelagic trip in Dade waters on Toe's boat) in late August or September would add 8-9 species to Dade. Other "easy" birds are Bay-breasted and Connecticut warblers, Horned grebe, White-rumped sandpiper, and others. It's going to happen soon. Palm Beach has some ridiculously easy birds like Scarlet tanager, Hermit thrush, and Cory's shearwater as well as less easy species like Connecticut, Bay-breasted, and Swainson's warblers. I'll get there eventually. County listing, the fun never ends!

We will be attending the Paris gig in spirit and we wish everyone at the Daniel Maghen Gallery all of the success for that show. Ash and I have been aware for sometime that our prints are harder to come by in Europe due to inport duties etc. So I am proud to announce that we will be creating an Ashley Wood print exclusively for the Daniel Maghen gallery sometime in the near future. Follow the link to the gallery website for info on The Book Show and keep it here for updates on the exclusive Paris print.

Polaris Industries Inc. and Voyageurs National Park Association Partner on Warming Huts in Minnesota's National Park
Voyageurs National Park, Minnesota
November 6, 2012
Polaris Industries Inc. and Voyageurs National Park Association (VNPA) recently partnered to enhance snowmobile safety and trail access in Voyageurs National Park.Polaris is funding the construction of three new warming huts, which will keep snowmobilers warm and safe and house trail maps and other park educational material.Polaris is also donating two new FS IQ WideTrak snowmobiles to assist park rangers with winter environmental field studies and maintenance activities.
Park Superintendent Michael Ward commented on the recent donation, "We greatly appreciate Polaris' support and generosity and the partnership we have with VNPA. This donation will strongly enhance safety and access on our trails and our service to the public."
Snowmobiling, skiing and snowshoeing trails offer winter access across Voyageurs' 218,000 acres.Voyageurs National Park has over 110 miles of snowmobile trails that help visitors see the beauty of the park all year round – similar to other national parks like Yellowstone, Grand Teton and those in Alaska that feature snowmobiling and winter recreation.
The donation marks the first collaboration between Polaris and Voyageurs and VNPA is pleased that the focus has been on park access and safety.Temperatures often dip below 30° F in Northern Minnesota and prolonged exposure to the cold and elements makes warming huts a necessary component of trail access.Snowmobiles also provide vital access for park rangers who work year round on park stewardship.
"Safe, responsible snowmobiling is an excellent way to experience the beauty and grandeur of our national parks, and we are proud to partner with the VNPA to promote such access," said Scott Wine, Polaris CEO."We began as a snowmobile company, and our passion for riding remains strong.As such we are honored to support both the park's rangers, as they maintain the park's facilities, and its visitors, as they enjoy them."
About Voyageurs National Park and Voyageurs National Park Association
Voyageurs National Park Association protects and promotes the natural, recreational and historic resources of Voyageurs National Park. VNPA is the nonprofit conservation, advocacy and program partner of the park, helping each new generation discover Voyageurs.
Voyageurs National Park, one of the nation's wildest, most remote and unique national parks, stretches 55 miles along the northern Minnesota border, encompassing 218,055 acres of land and water. Voyageurs is one of the nation's premier water-based parks. The park is rich in natural, cultural and geological history. With large clear lakes, bays, rivers and marshes making up over 40 percent of the landscape, visiting this park means stepping out of your car and embarking on a water-bound (or ice-bound) adventure.

Good afternoon everyone! Today's post is in collaboration with Adore Me, and I'm going to be sharing my Beach Day Musts with you. It's that time of year again where many of us are jetting off to sunny locations for a summer holiday. If you're going on a beach holiday in particular, there are many essentials that you'll need for the beach in order to have fun, but also keep safe. Adore Me have therefore asked me to share my absolute musts for a day at the beach. Check them out below:
~ Bikini/Swimming Costume - for me, no beach day is complete without a bikini or swimming costume! I'm a massive fan of swimming, and so love to adventure into the sea whilst on a day out at the beach. Adore Me offer a great selection of swimwear which is available in all different sizes, so there's the perfect outfit for anyone travelling to the beach!
~ Towel - one could not travel to the beach without a towel in their bag; it's perfect for sunbathing on, should you not wish to use a sun-bed, and is also practical following a swimming session in the sea!
~ Hat - this #beachdaymust is both practical and fashionable; a big beach hat will protect you from the beaming sun and shade your face, should you wish to read! Yet you can look very fashionable with a beach hat too; personally, a white hat is my favourite option! I bought this lovely hat above in Santorini and it has certainly served me well; I've worn it to the beach as well as during trips around the island.
~ Flip-flops/sandals - these are extremely affordable and light to carry to the beach, so there's no excuse not to bring them! They're the easiest type of shoe to slip on and off, and protect your feet from getting burnt by the sand.
~ Water - !!! It's so important to keep yourself hydrated when you're spending a day in the sun, so water is one of my top musts! It's the perfect way to prevent dehydration and refresh yourself!
~ Sun Cream - we all have different skin types which react differently to the sun, however some form of protection is essential. Whether you require a lower or higher factor, be sure to keep your skin safe and allow yourself to tan as naturally as possible with the help of sun cream. I like to begin my holiday using a higher factor, for example 30 SPF, and the more time I spend in the sun, I gradually decrease my SPF to 15. Nonetheless, some form of sun cream is a top must for a beach day!
~ After Sun - This is more of a post-beach day product, but I wanted to share my favourite after sun with you all! Garnier's Ambra Solaire After Sun is undoubtedly the best product I've used after sunbathing. It's glycerol and vitamin E formula maintains your tan; and I've found that since using it, my tan has gradually deepened across the course of my holiday. I even use it when I return from a holiday to keep my colour for as long as possible! It's a great product which I highly recommend.
~ Body Lotion - to prevent that horrible pealing and dry skin that we hate after burning, you should always moisturise! My favourite moisturisers to use are by Jo Malone - my skin feels always feels so healthy and hydrated afterwards, and all of the scents are amazing!
~ Camera - if you're like me, you'll love taking photos wherever you go, as there's nothing more rewarding than capturing your memories! I take my Olympus Pen E-PL7 everywhere, as the photographic results are incredible! Best of all, it's WiFi feature allows you to send them instantly to your phone in a mere minute! A camera is a must for me, but if it's not for you most phones of today have great camera on which can capture equally great photos!
~ Phone & earphones - a phone is great for snapping some quick photos, and also listening to music whilst sunbathing on the beach. A must for entertainment!
~ Make-up - throughout my trip to Santorini, I've barely worn make-up when visiting the beach or sunbathing around my hotel. However, I do like to take a couple of products with me just in case. A neutral lipstick or lip balm is always in my bag, as is some loose powder. I've also added Mascara and bronzer on the photograph above, as I tend to bronze my face a little if I'm looking quite tanned!
~ Books/magazines - these a great way of entertaining yourself, and a book in particular is highly likely to keep you highly relaxed in the sun!
~ Sunglasses - I tend to wear sunglasses for most of my holiday, as I always need them! They're certainly a must for a sunny beach. I added two of my favourite pairs on the photo above as, in reality, I can never choose just one pair from my very big collection!
These products have been essential to both my days at the beach as well as around the pool across my trip to Santorini! For any of you going on beach holidays this summer, I hope these tips help! Do any of you have any extra musts for the beach? Let me know your tips in the comments box below, as well as your thoughts on the photographs taken for this post! I hope you enjoyed this post in collaboration with Adore Me, and I look forward to sharing more posts like this in the future.

Love in B Minor by Elodie Nowodazkij
Release Date: March 15th 2016
Series: Broken Dreams #3
Pages: 240
Genres: Contemporary, New Adult, Romance
New city. New life. At least, that's what nineteen-year-old Jen believes. On the surface, she's living her dream: dancing in a prestigious dance company in Paris. But her sister's death and the mistakes she's tried to bury haunt her. She's become a pro at hiding who she truly is, and she definitely doesn't want a guy to derail her, but a one night-stand she can do. Nothing more. She definitely doesn't plan to see the sexy stranger who made her laugh for the first time in years ever again.
Girls don't walk away from Lucas Wills. Bad boy turned rock star, he's got his share of groupies. Always upfront, he doesn't promise fake tomorrows because love can destroy everything. Been there, done that. His ex not only lied to him, she stomped on his heart, used him to become famous, and almost ruined him. So, waking up alone after a night beyond his wildest imagination with a girl he just met shouldn't upset him, shouldn't inspire one of the saddest songs he's ever written, shouldn't make him want to chase after her.
When Jen, the one-night stand who got away, auditions to be a dancer in Lucas' next music video, they can't stop their growing attraction. But Jen's secrets and his ex could shatter the careers they tried so hard to build and their hearts…they will have to decide what's more important and if love is worth the fight.
I can't think about that now. The energy running through my body begs to be released and the adrenaline drums all the way to my fingertips. No one has ever heard that song. That song I composed the morning after she tiptoed outside of my apartment and disappeared from my life like she was only a figment of my imagination.
What happened to the happily ever after of our childhood fairy tales.
What happened to our dreams?
Life was passing me by. Simply going through the motions.
Could not believe in anything, not in them and definitely not in me.
People smiling about everything, about nothing and I stay empty,
Refusing to feel any emotions.
Too hard. Too painful. Too damn heartbreaking.
You found me and healed me. Only one night of your magic.
Only night of your touch and I can breathe again. I can believe again.
Even though the night ended. Even though you left me stranded.
You showed me that feeling is everything.
You're the girl who got away.
The girl who got away.
The one-night stand who got away.
Your touch and your whispers.
Your skin against mine. I remember everything.
I see her stiffen for only a second. She stops mid-movement, but then she continues and seeing her dancing to my words, to those words that are all about her, it's everything I didn't know I wanted.
Now if only I could tell the nasty voice in my head that's wondering if she's used me to shut the fuck up.
Elodie Nowodazkij was raised in a tiny village in France, where she could always be found a book in hand. At nineteen, she moved to the US, where she learned she'd never lose her French accent. Now she lives in Maryland with her husband, their dog and their cat. She's also a serial smiley user.
Thanks for stopping by! ;)

Cabbies who killed 26 people
The police arrest five youths who confess to have killed 26 persons since Jan 2006, reports Sanjeev K Ahuja.india Updated: Nov 07, 2006 02:14 IST
Gurgaon police have arrested five members of a gang of alleged serial killers who targeted people seeking lifts at night. The men would offer a free ride to a person who looked like an outsider, strangle him, steal his cash and valuables, and then dump his body in a manhole or an open drain.
The arrested men, aged between 18 and 28, have confessed to having killed 26 people since January. Gurgaon Senior Superintendent of Police Hanif Qureshi said, "In October alone, the gang killed 11 people."
The five have been identified as Rohtash alias Langoor, Lalit alias Kaloo, Mukesh alias Ghassar, Pramod alias Bhuria and Ravi.
They are all from Bhora Kala village in Gurgaon.
Qureshi said police got a lead while investigating the murder of Ashish Bhagoria, a 23-year-old MBA from Gwalior whose decomposed body was found in a manhole in Gurgaon on October 29.
Before he went missing, Bhagoria had called up Rohit, a friend of his. "Rohit was waiting for Bhagoria at IFFCO Chowk," said Qureshi. "Around 11.35 pm, Bhagoria phoned him to say he had got into a cab and was on his way. This was Bhagoria's last phone call. We zeroed in on all the 'maxi cabs' in the area and found this gang. On interrogation, they confessed to having committed the crime."
They also confessed to other murders, including that a man who had only Rs 20 on him. His body was found on National Highway 8 near Shikohpur last month.
Qureshi explained the modus operandi of the killers, who owned a jeep. "During the day, they ran a cab service but at night, from 10 pm to 2 am, they would take their jeep around the city, one of them driving, and the rest posing as passengers," he said. "They would offer a lift to a single passenger. Once the victim was inside the car, one of the men would strangle him, usually with a leather belt. They would then takethe victim's money and valuables, and dump the body."
Qureshi said the gang may have committed more murders. "We have contacted the police in neighbouring states to find out if similar crimes have been reported there," he said.

Lynne is recounting a story to George. She tells him that the door slammed shut and she was locked out wearing only a towel. George asks if she got help. Lynne replies that she got help from the police and also the fire brigade, an ambulance, a postman and a window cleaner.
Lynne has a very interesting story to tell George and she insists on launching into it as soon as he gets home from work. He hasn't even had time to loosen his tie. Lynne, on the other hand, didn't bother to get dressed today.
Lynne was outside in only a towel because she was just about to have a bath and decided she wanted a cup of tea whilst in the bath. There was no milk in the fridge so she went outside to see if the milkman had been. He had and as she went out to pick up the milk the door slammed shut, just as Lynne said.
Lots of people came to help Lynne. The window cleaner offered to go up his ladder to open a window, the ambulance was there in case he fell, the postman was there to verify that Lynne actually lived there and the policeman was there so no one reported a break in, thus wasting more police time. This does beg the question of what the fireman was doing there. He just wanted to see if he could look at Lynne's boobs.

Other ChaLEAN Extreme® Reviews:
"Go Heavy or Go Home!"
That's the motto of Chalene Johnson during Month 2, the Push Phase, of the amazing ChaLEAN Extreme® program – that I just completed yesterday! I can't believe I'm 2 months into this program, I swear it feels like I just started! One month left to go, and I think I'm going to be really sad when it's over. (Hey, it's a good thing I bought the Deluxe DVDs when I did so I can continue on after the 90 day period!)
The Push Phase is quite different from the from month of the program, but scheduled similarly to the Burn Phase.
A typical week of the Push Phase looks like this:
- Day 1 – Push Circuit 1
- Day 2 – Rest
- Day 3 – Push Circuit 2
- Day 4 – Burn Intervals & Ab Burner/Extreme Abs
- Day 5 – Push Circuit 3
- Day 6 – Burn It Off! & Recharge
- Day 7 – Rest
Which, as you can see – is basically the same format as the Burn Phase, but with a switch to the Push DVDs. It's a great schedule, with sufficient time for your body to recuperate after such hard work!
I found I really needed the rest days this month, as I upgraded my weights throughout the month and really pushed my muscles – and they needed time to rest before putting them to work all over again! So, the two rest days this month were like a blessing from above.
Here's what the workouts looked like:
Push Circuit 1 (approx 34 min) – Along with the schedule itself being similar in this month, the format of the circuit workouts is very similar as well. The goal in this circuit is to fail at 6-8 reps, in contrast to the 10-12 reps from the Burn Phase. This workout focuses on arms and shoulders primarily, but like all CX workouts, there is plenty of leg action as well. Hellooooo squats!
Push Circuit 2 (approx 35 min) – More high weight, low rep training focusing on lats, delts, shoulders and legs. It's really a lot of the same idea in this program – just different exercises to do in each Circuit!
Burn Intervals (approx 50 min) – Same program as reviewed in the Burn Phase, click here to read!
Ab Burner (approx 10 min) – Same program as reviewed in the Burn Phase, click here to read!
Extreme Abs (approx 17 min) – Another short and quick Ab routine, but much more intense than Ab Burner in my opinion. I kept my heart rate up with this program and really felt the burn in my abs!
Push Circuit 3 (approx 33 min) – Another workout similar to Circuits 1 & 2 – focusing on arms and legs.
Burn It Off! (approx 35 min) – Same program as reviewed in the Burn Phase, click here to read!
Recharge (approx 20 min) – Same program as reviewed in the Burn Phase, click here to read!
I was really impressed to see how much progress I'd made in my strengh this month. When I first started this program, I was using 5 lb weights, and managed to squeak my way up to 12.5 lbs by the end of the first month. This month, I pushed way beyond that and had to upgrade to using my boyfriend's 15 lb and 20 lb weights, and by the end of the month, I was using them consistently throughout all Push Circuit exercises – talk about a change in strength in only two months!
Again, like any other program you are doing – it's all about what you feel comfortable with, and you should only be lifting what's within your capability. But this wonderful thing about this program is that it really makes you push yourself and realize you are far stronger than what you think your capabilities are! As Chalene says, you don't know what you can do until you try! So it's worth making the effort to push yourself and see how far you can go – you just might be surprised! I surely know I was!
Once again the printable workout sheets (available here from Teach Beachbody) are a great way to keep your workouts tracked, so you can know if you want to increase your weight or reps the next week.
I wasn't surprised to see that I did not lose any weight this month – actually it stayed exactly the same as last month. However, that's only because I know I put on a ton of muscle in the Push Phase! My measurements also changed significantly – I lost almost 5″ from my body (mainly in my hips and legs). So, knowing that I shrunk my body, increased my strength and muscle size, and didn't change the number on the scale – I'm thrilled! I know my body has gotten a lot more strong and lean this month.
I'm loving this program. Seriously, I never thought I'd be someone who was addicted to strength training, but that day has truly come. I've been recommending the program to anyone that will listen – it's amazing how empowered I feel after pushing myself so hard. I'm excited to see what the final Lean Phase will bring, and what it will do for my body! Thank you, Chalene!
Message me if you'd like any more information on the ChaLEAN Extreme® program, or if you'd like to give it a go for yourself! I am here to help and coach you along your way!

A new documentary, Fed Up, produced by bookseller Heather Reisman and environmentalist Laurie David, who wrote An Inconvenient Truth, takes aim at the food industry, and levels much of the blame for the dramatic increase we have seen in the spread of obesity, which the World Health Organization (WHO) says has doubled since 1980.
The statistics are alarming, with more than 10 percent of the world's population being obese and even 40 million children under the age of five being considered as obese. It has also been disclosed that ten percent of the adult population are pre-disposed to contracting or developing diabetes.
The documentary Fed Up, narrated by Katie Couric, lays the blame squarely on processed foods, with the extensive use and abuse of refined sugar that it adds to make the taste of foods more appealing. The problem as explained in the film is that the human body cannot process more than 25 mils in a day, but that amount is usually exceeded in a single serving of many processed foods. The foods companies remain reluctant to display the recommended daily allowance or RDA on processed foods, and in many cases, if it is printed; it is often disguised in misleading serving sizes. It can also be disguised with different names such as fructose, glucose, honey, syrup, molasses or anhydrous dextrose.
The documentary centers on the struggles faced by some teenagers in their efforts to lose weight. They are all considered obese and are plagued with chronic health diseases, as they explain through tears, the depression and isolation that they experience. Director Stephanie Soecthig with narrator Couric, creates an impactful observation, which examines why millions of American children are growing up obese, even though a lot of media attention has been focused on the issue, as well as guidelines suggested by the government. The missing or misleading RDA also leads the kids into making unhealthy choices of foods that contain excessive amounts of sugar.
Although no blame is directly assigned in the documentary Fed Up, the efforts by former U.S. Senator George McGovern, to make the U.S. aware of the consequences of better health are mentioned, even though his efforts were crushed by the influence of the sugar industry.
The documentary asserts that the food industry is fueling a dependence that may even border on an addiction to sugar, that is creating an obesity epidemic. Producer Reisman explains Katie Couric has followed the issues of obesity, exercise and diets in different forms for almost three decades, and notwithstanding all of the reports that Americans and others around the globe were getting fatter, she thought it would be interesting to further explore this problem to understand what is going on.
There are a few pertinent facts from the film Fed Up that takes aim at the food industry, as it reveals that in the U.S., the consumption of sugar has increased in just three years. Obesity rates have also doubled, despite fitness club memberships also doubling between 1980, and 2000. Of the 600,000 processed foods being sold in the country, more than 80 percent contain sugar, and children are more exposed to foods that contain more sugar, which studies reveal, is an addictive substance.

Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero is a twelve episode anime series that is presently available to buy in the UK courtesy of Manga Entertainment. At the time of writing the two disc DVD set is priced at around seventeen pounds from all good online retailers (and some bad ones too.) The series is based on the light novels penned by Tetsuto Uesu and is one of those shows that are notorious for its copious amounts of fan service. Viewers seeking ginormous animated breasts will be pleased with this release, although be warned that the show's attempts at humour often fall flat (no pun intended.)
The show's leading man is Akatsuki Ousawa, a roguish hero who recently saved the kingdom of Alayzard from the machinations of the sinister Demon King. After vanquishing said demonic liege, Akatsuki returns home to our world via an inter-dimensional gate and enrols at Babel Academy – an institution that trains students in the art of magic. Joining Akatsuki in his spell casting studies is Miu Ousawa, who happens to be the teenage daughter of the now deceased Demon King. Apparently, with his final breath, the Demon King asked Akatsuki to look after his little girl, which sounds like a marvellous idea. Give custody of your daughter to your murderer? What could possibly go wrong?
Aesthetica's dozen episodes consist of brawls with assassins, a fighting tournament, Akatsuki's conflicts with the student council and a trip to the mall where Miu tries to find undergarments that can contain her voluptuous breasts. As far as anime protagonists go Akatsuki is a bit of a sleaze ball. He regularly uses his superhuman speed to strip girls of their undies and he has no gripes about groping Miu's boobs, despite being her appointed guardian. Viewers are expected to forgive these perverted antics as when the chips are down Akatsuki does the right thing and helps those in need. Hmmm, I'm not sure that will wash with the judge when he inevitably gets charged with sexual harassment.
Fleshing out the cast list is a triple threat of beauties named Kuzuha, Haruka and Izumi. Kuzuha is a class rep who has been allowed to skip ahead a few grades thanks to her intellect (and because every anime needs underage jailbait to appease the pedos who flock to Japanese cartoons.) Haruka is the vice president of the student council and holds the unfortunate record of having the most panties pilfered at the hands of Akatsuki. Last but not least is Izumi whose sole character trait is being a lesbian. We are first introduced to her in a scene were she is caught sprawled atop a semi-naked girl on the floor of the school gym. Giggity giggity.
My rating for Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero is a lowish three stars. I didn't dislike it enough to score it lower, but in all honesty it is mediocre at best. As I alluded to earlier, the puerile gags are seldom funny and action wise I didn't find the onscreen battles to be all that exciting (due to the fact that Akatsuki outmatches all of his opponents by a wide margin.) The show's finale merely sets up a potential second season, which is rather disappointing. For a series that prides itself on eye candy I have to say that the artwork isn't particularly titillating as the animation lacks polish. If you are a sucker for saucy animation, with a dose of humour and action, I would recommend spending your pennies on something like High School DxD instead.

"Mana Washio is an exemplary flutist with a brilliant, comprehensive technique and musicianship to match. These are desirable qualities of course, even obligatory for a professional career. But the outstanding virtue of her work is the eloquence and compelling expressivity of her playing. She is not just a well-schooled practitioner. She is, in sum, an artist."
Yehudi Wyner, Pulitzer Prize-winning composer
Mana Washio: Press
"The Rêve d'Amour (Dream of Love) quartet made a strong debut in Boston last night with a program of rarely heard romantic chamber music performed in the elegant but cozy surroundings of the French Cultural Center. A rapt audience of about 30 Francophiles crowded into the center's reading room for the event.
This new group, made up of four "passionate" women (their term), have performed in various combinations for several years but came together for the first time on Thursday, and now intend to make an impact as a permanent quartet in the Boston area. All the players are from Boston and environs.
Their initial performance focused on French songs and instrumental pieces that drew out the impressive, lyrical talents of cellist Rebecca Hartka, pianist Barbara Lysakowski, soprano Jessica Rossi and flute/piccolo player Mana Washio. The combination provided a kind of magic."

Enchilada Meatballs - SRC
16 comments:
Would you believe I was actually wondering what could be done with leftover cornbread I had last week? Now I wish that I had learned about these meatballs earlier so I could have used the cornbread and made them. Well, there's always next time. Thanks for the great idea and love your SRC pick!ReplyDelete
Yay! So glad you and your family liked the recipe! We have the same tradition for Mother's Day. Tacos or fajitas are an easy meal my teen kiddos can make without me, so it is their "go to" when they cook for me. :) It has some of my favorite flavors, so win for everyone - gotta love that!ReplyDelete

"I surrender and know that even though the darkness is tough, I am held by the light that is inside of me. I am light and darkness at the same time.
Light and darkness: finding the balance
Making the unconscious, conscious. I am prepared to look the darkness straight in the eye. Without darkness, light couldn't exist. So I am making my way to the darkest and dustiest corners of my own soul. Because I know that when I arrive, my light will shine brighter than ever before. I'm on the road of transformation and nothing is stopping me from blossoming into the best version of myself I can possibly be. I want to unbecome everything that isn't really me. Because deep down I know. I am complete. I am free."

Resale value should be one of the top considerations of any smart homeowner about to embark on a renovation project. The upgrade will not come cheap, but if you make great choices, you can recover at least 73% of what you spend.
Here is how you can invest in your kitchen makeover without squirming about the cost.
Mind your switches and sockets
Both for safety and convenience, have your wirings, outlets and switches checked to see if they comply with electrical standards, or if they make life easier for you as a homeowner.
Engineered stones are great additions
Granite and marble are good materials, but did you know Quartz was voted the number 1 top-rated countertop surface in a 2014 consumer report? It is the fourth hardest stone on Earth and is non-porous so you and your family's food safety will not suffer compromise by bacterial growth.
Best of all, if you invest in quartz countertops in Salt Lake City that you can get from reliable providers such as Accent Interiors, you will not have to worry too much about wine or coffee stains.
Easily wipe off spills with a soft damp cloth. Quartz is a low-maintenance material that stays in shape for a long time without sealing.
Try a cabinet makeover kit
Available in the market are all-in-one one kits that contain everything you need to repaint your cabinet, update its look without having to reinstall new ones; an inexpensive alternative that yields great visual impact.
Do not be too eccentric when it comes to aesthetics
If reselling your home is within the horizon, go for neutral colors and minimalist looks. Creating a unique kitchen that matches your personality is a wonderful idea, but you might end up with polarized reactions when it is time to sell. Cast a wider net; go for functional, simple layouts and designs.
These tips are particularly helpful for older houses with dated looks and feels. They will need an upgrade on appliances, wirings, and materials used. Try out these tips and invest wisely! Good luck!

this band is regular as clockwork. every two years a new record and this procedure continues since the debut "unhallowed" from 2003. so without any confirmation, i prepared myself for a new album this year and wouldn't you know it, there was one in the pipeline. the new baby goes by the name of "nightbringers" and the first thing that let me burst with anticipation was the awesome cover art by necrolord a.k.a. kristian wåhlin. i wasn't a fan of the "abysmal" art concept and was therefore more than happy with this great artwork.
he also drew the "nocturnal" cover and in the face of the ten-year-anniversary of that classic dahlia record it seemed like the perfect idea to let the man go for "nightbringers". he did an outstandingly good job. so expectations were high. can "nightbringers" live up to that? partly. the album has some undeniable fantastic moments. songs like "of god and serpent, of spectre and snake", the title track "nightbringers" or "catacomb hecatomb" are pure gold.
on the other side songs like "jars" or "as good as dead" don't really click with me. don't get me wrong, this is complaining on a high level. of course, the album is a good listen - i mean, it's a black dahlia album after all - but i am not sure if i consider this full length a classic in ten years. well, that's just my opinion. go, pick up a copy and form your own on "nightbringers". vinyl variations are plenty for this eighth album of the band.
if discogs information is complete then there are at least ten different colour variations. i snagged the exclusive european mailorder edition on white vinyl. i ordered a copy as soon as pre-orders went up at emp and thus were too early for the impericon edition on opaque red with black splatter. as i didn't want to go through the hassle to cancel an order for another one, i stuck with my white copy and am happy with it. comes with a big poster. 300 copies made. metal blade. 2017.

My father-in-law began working on a family tree a few years ago.
He began digging into family records and getting names and dates from family members.
He also began putting everything together on an online family tree database.
I thought it was a perfect opportunity for me to make something really special for him as a Christmas gift. He'd done all of the work, and I was going to turn it into a family keepsake, as well as a piece of art.
... and in a closer look, you can see the names hand-printed on the family tree.
Of course, by this point, the family tree is branching out in new directions. It didn't end with my father-in-law, so we had to add names down into the roots. I thought forever about how I was going to go about this, because I thought the grandchildren were important to add. This is how I added them to our tree...
I first drew a light pencil sketch on a good quality water color paper.
I used water colors to paint the tree, adding lots of swirls in various colors. You might notice on the full shot that the colors of the tree move from left to right, from dark greens, to lighter greens and yellows, to oranges and reds.
I used simple brush strokes (and let me just tell you now... I am by no means an "artist" when it comes to these things!) I do love working with watercolors because they are so forgiving! I added some leaves, but still thought that I could do something more.
So, I came up with the idea of adding a 3-dimensional component to my tree. I painted additional pieces of watercolor paper that I let dry, then cut into swirls that I glued onto my tree. I also cut small leaves that I glued to the tree and then painted. I added two little blue birds for fun, as well as a heart "carved" into the trunk of the tree.
Once I had all the names I could get (and as much of them as I could... I didn't always have a middle name, or the maiden name, but I used what I had), I used a fine-tipped Sharpie marker to write them on the branches. I made one boo-boo in my spelling... EEK! I'm a master at hiding my mistakes. Ok... I'm a perfectionist who has mastered the art of making my work look perfect even when it is not. You may notice in the image above, one of my additional swirls overlapping a name that I had to correct. Works for me ;)
Again... I'm not an artist. I think this is it for my painting skills, but I think I pulled it off. I had it professionally framed, and I think it made a beautiful gift. My in-laws proudly display it in their entry, and my oldest daughter has spent a lot of time admiring it. She thinks we need to make one for our house. I agree :)
So... Interested in making your own?

Ethereum Price has increased 58.27% within a month as we are writing this article. That's an increase of more than 50% within a month! What a recovery especially when considering that it actually increased 34.92% within the last 7 days.
But this increase could be a modest increase compared to what might be in store next. These are the reasons investors might want to keep an eye on Ethereum's price development within the next 48 hours:
- Ethereum's Price increase in August 2017 is supported by an All-time high in the number of transactions as explained in the article.
- Ethereum's Price today looks like it's heading towards an important resistance level. The level in question is $325 and was identified among important Ethereum price levels to watch in August. If this resistance level is broken, it will be very bullish for Ethereum's price.
Why is the $325 level important for Ethereum price?
The $325 level on the chart is important from a price analysis perspective. The price is also reaching this level in a period when transactions are in an all-time high level as well. As mentioned, if the price break this resistance, it will rise significantly. But there is always the possibility that traders might decide to lock in their profits causing a price pull back. Should the 2nd scenario happen, investors need to keep in mind Ethereum's rising intrinsic value.
In 2017, more governments, companies and investors just started understanding or believing in Ethereum's disruptive potential and announcing their intention to "explore" the options its Network provides. We are already seeing record numbers transaction wise and most of these new adopters are still testing the waters. So It will be very interesting to see when they actually start using the newly built technology on a larger scale. That's when a massive intrinsic value increase will happen and obviously reflect on Ethereum's price.
To have an idea of the potential scale of future usage, the Entreprise Ethereum Alliance member list s a good spot to estimate how future use could increase.
This is why we believe the next 48 hours will be important, for if the price breaks the $325 level, it might signal to even more investors and traders that Ethereum's uptrend is continuing and will be fueled by every new adoption. Obviously, just as the intrinsic value is a major positive catalyst, the risk that should be watched remains security and scalability.

adding some SiC gaurds
I guess we'll know the effectiveness in a few days. These are to prevent anyone from pinching their fingers as much as they are to align the rack. I wonder if Falcon Northwest is looking to sponsor some high power molecular dynamics simulations?
