text: So if you saw the post on the trade/sell/give away board noting a silver spangled hamburg in need of rescue in Newfield NY, well, he has a home, and OMG is he handsome!!! He is actually a Brahma (editted: got my comb types mixed up, he's got the triple, which is the pea comb (oops), so he is probably 100% given how much he matches the look). He's got some yellow to his feathers (which I am assuming is due to the conditions he's been living in) and his feathers are kind of ragged, but.. I think the core of what is there is SO handsome.. He's pretty easy going and seems really happy with his new territory (he's been crowing for about 10 minutes solid, but we can barely hear him through our walls, so I don't think our neighbors (unless they're outside) will have any problems).. Our 'makeshift' coop is not fantastic, but it will work while we finish up the REAL coop (I'm pushing for a perfect cube, painted dark grey, since we've started calling the eggs The Collective (and now the geeks all laugh, everyone else looks a little confused.. )). He was living (and had been his whole life) in essentially a cat carrier. I can't guarantee that he won't eventually be eaten (he might) but in the mean time, at least he will be well fed, loved on and given some room to run around. I sat with him for about 15 minutes after we got home, but he was starting to look stressed, so I moved outside (and kept my daughter from sticking her finger into his run space.. *laughs*) Once the eggs hatch he'll have some company, so he'll be a little lonely in the meantime, but.. One thing at a time, better space now, and company soon! (And the next project that didn't get done just in time is attaching hardware cloth to the bottom 2 feet or so of his run for better raccoon protection, I'm REALLY nervous right now). Anyway, for those who want to see the boy, photos! (and a link to a short video of him on you tube: (not the best camera, but.. ya' know))

I spent much of the last two years disagreeing with Wal's small rechargable canister vac about how much cleaning should be done. Specifically, it felt that the correct amount was "no more than three minutes' worth." I put off ditching it for a better vacuum as long as possible, since they're pretty costly, but when we got the cat, waiting was no longer an option.
The new vacuum? Is amazing. Thanks for asking! I dropped about $120 on it, but I didn't want to spend $80 on another p.o.s. The cost difference definitely worth it for the longer life and increased functionality. I could go over how it's got every feature I wanted, and totally pwns all of creation, but that's not really the point. The point is ... it keeps things clean. It's invaluable for tidying up spilled litter. Using it as an upright, the rugs look good in like, five seconds. The "upholstery brush" (ha!) quickly dispatches someone's fur from my black futon. On the dust- and fur-removal fronts, I was set.
Vacuuming, however, is not all there is to cleaning.
When we moved two apartments in one day, much of my cleaning product stash got used up or left. Having to start again in building my arsenal, I got to thinking about my most cherished few:
Windex (w/ papertowels)
I can't stand those jerks who think 409 or Fantastik are any good - because, they sux0r compared to Windex. Although I've liked having the antibacterial one around (for when someone has accidents, hehe), the plain old blue one is fine for me. It is completely necessary to have at least two bottles (kitchen + bathroom), preferrably more. Also, according to my up-bringing, Windex is the prefferred cleaning product for everything ever (okay, hard surfaces), except for wood.
Scrubbing bubbles
My bathroom cleaner of choice for icky tub places, toilet seat, etc. Must be name brand. Use wet papertowel, rinse, reuse, wipe with dry papertowel (no sponges!). Excellent on chrome, but has to be rinsed off.
Toilet bowl cleanser with duck neck
Preferrably not blue, as I once stained a wooden toilet seat with that stuff by accident. Use only on inside of bowl, with toilet brush. Rinse toilet brush in clean bowl water afterward.
Mr. Clean Magic Eraser
My boss at my previous job absolutely insisted that I use and/or worship this. I like the heavy-duty one best. Although I find that scrubbing bubbles are good for cleaning, they can't really get through icky textures (shower buildup, gross). That's where the MCME comes in. Trust me. No, really. Use on shower walls, sinks, etc. He's also the only variation of a "sponge" allowed in my bathroom - and he works better.
Resolve carpet cleaner
My new friend. He and I recently worked together to remove bloody paw prints that certain hurty post-op kitties left all over the bathroom carpet (I know: awww.) It went quite well, so I'll be using him more soon.
Palmolive dish soap
Now the best stuff is available in good smells - yay. The only supplies I need for dishes are this and a good sponge (there's no dishwasher here, anyway). One of those that's soft on one side, and "scotch-brite pad" on the other. My mom always used green and yellow rectangular ones, but I like the curvy ones.
I like to use the pads first to dust shelves and stuff by hand, and then once I put it on the stick, I can clean the floor as I dislodge all the cat toys from behind every piece of furniture. (Sidenote, it's always fun to see which "cat toys" are "items she stole from my desk or purse.")
And, even though I said I wouldn't, I'll probably go into disgusting detail about my vacuum soon. The week I got it I took photos and sent them around. IT IS THE AWESOME.

I am a slave to Magic Erasers and Swiffers. I take that shower stuff you are supposed to spray after every shower (yeah, doesn't happen), and spray it on really good, let it sit, and then wipe it off with a Magic Eraser. That stuff will take off ANYTHING. Love, love, love.

The executive producer of the U.S. Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach stuck to his word and presented to city officials last week a plan for a considerably smaller event this summer.
The July surfing competition would do away with the live-music stage, significantly limit the number of vendors and disallow alcohol in the VIP areas, said James Leitz, IMG Action Sports vice president and executive producer.
During a meeting April 3 of the city's Specific Events Committee, its members — from various departments including police, fire, business development, public works and community services — provided suggestions for how to make this summer's surfing competition tamer than last year's. Then, rowdy guests created havoc in the city after the event's close, and several people were arrested.
"Coming here today wasn't about deviating from the plan or trying to push something new," said Leitz, who has produced the event for 15 years. "It's really about showing that we told the public we were going to do a certain thing, and we're going to do that."

Postpartum PTSD: Beyond Postpartum Depression in Maternal Mental Health
May 12, 2017
Most people consider maternal mental health to be synonymous with postpartum depression. However, there are many other similar disorders, collectively described as perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs). One such disorder is postpartum post-traumatic stress disorder. While PTSD as a whole used to be characterized as an anxiety disorder in the fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV), it is now in a new chapter in DSM-V titled "Trauma- and Stress-Related Disorders."

Skyjack Scissor lifts
How to Calculate Scissor Lift Length
The length of a scissor jack lift is proportional to the weight of the scissor support together with the integrity of the steel cross sections more than the length. The weight of the scissor structure together with the length is corollaries of each other; thus, the former determines the latter for a stable scissor jack. An extreme instance of this to show the point will be a 20-foot lift length which is featherweight made from Styrofoam which is practically weightless. It definitely would not be able to support at much of a height and could not support a lot at all.
Determine how high in the air the platform will be raised to determine or calculate the scissor lift length required to support the weight of both occupants and objects on the platform in relation to the platform's weight.
To be able to reach the required height within the weight support parameters, the number of cross sections of scissor folding supports sections that will be required to be extended at their full extension. Lastly, you would never want to ascend a few workers up on a platform with their materials that is on a platform supported by any kind of structure which is not stable as clearly any kind of equipment that is susceptible to tipping would put people in a really dangerous situation.
Every cross section should be weighed to determined the overall length and weight of the scissor lift as well as the overall stability of the equipment. When fully extended, determine the angle between the horizontal or ground level against the scissor arms measured.

"I adore him as a an artiste. But I hate him as a human being". That was the exact expression used by Shivaji Raja, charcter artiste at a press conference called by him at old FNCC Club premises a few years ago. He called for the press conference to precisely nail comedian Bramhanandam on some issues.
After a few days the comdeians in Tollywood came together under the leadership of AVS,
they together accused Bramhanandam of belittling several artistes and insulting smallactors in the industry.
The major issue raked up was about the funds collected by Bramhanandam to install a statue of all time great comedian Relangi at a place in Film Nagar.
As this washing of dirty linen between comedians continued, some wiseman approached Dasari for help.
Dasari then called for a meeting to sort out matters. At the meeting Brahmanandam, brought the bust size statue of Relangi to show that he was sincere in his desire to install the statue. And he woud utilize all the funds collected for the purpose.
This drama took place 8-10 years ago.
The funny part of the story begins now. Where is the statue?
Has it been installed somewhere secretly?
If the statue has not been installed where are the funds?
Has everybody concerned forgotten all about the fund collection and
Relangi statue installation.
Is there at least a part of the fund still left?


text: Hi. I'm looking to buy some boxing gloves. The most common brands in my country (and therefore, not that expensive) that are made for sparring and not hitting the bag, are Everlast and Adidas. Now, according to my teacher, Adidas are the best option. Has anyone ever used them? Do you recommend Everlast or Adidas, or just something else? The brands that I'm seeing in local stores are: Adidas ($70+) Everlast ($60+) Proyec (not Protec) ($40+) Super Pro ($35+) Granmarc ($40+) Budokan Fighter ($60+) Lonsdale ($70+) Venum (Almost $200) The green ones are the ones that I know are good, there are some more expensive models that seem quite nice, the red ones look not so good (maybe someone used them and can tell me something), and the orange ones look good too, but I don't know anything about them. After those brands, everything is over $100 and that's a bit over budget, but look very good. What do you think?

The jungle of Oman's revealed in a series of photographs, which is incredibly pop-up forest in desert only blooms for three months in a year. The oasis is located on a 155 mile stretch of land same to the length of Jamaica and at its deepest, the monsoon only extends about 18 miles from the shore. The Jungle of Arabia has amazing overnight transformation from arid desert to breathtaking rainforest. The sensation once in a year is really incredible to see from the end of July to the beginning of September, mainly known by Salalah Khareef, or the Salalah Monsoon, transforms a massive tract of land seemingly overnight into a striking emerald haven for locals and animals (including hundreds of camels). The average temperatures drop from a burning 50 degrees to a cool 20, however dry conditions nine months of the year means that Salalah does not have enduring lakes or running rivers - nonetheless during the monsoon waterfalls can be seen flowing over the cliffs. Therefore, on the grassy hills of Salalah live the Jibbali people who have be inherent in there for hundreds of years.
A landscape architect Andrew Anderson at the Oman Botanic Garden sharing his experience, even the fog sometimes becomes so thick that you cannot see your hand in front of your face. The forested slopes of the escarpment are a true global marvel for 9 months of the year, although, they're mostly barren and leafless, but during the monsoon, they turn into an amusing, green, sub-tropical forest, dense with vegetation and dripping with moisture. Indeed, this is scientifically a cloud forest but it is the only area in the world where this rich, wet cloud forest transforms to and from a dry, arid environment. After three months the land reheats and turns back into its dry and dusty former condition.

Walk into any store and you will be reminded that the holidays are just around the corner. Halloween, Thanksgiving and yes, even Christmas decorations abound.
For businesses, that means wrapping up the fourth quarter and setting your sites on a new year and hopefully new clients/customers.
If public relations and marketing have not been part of your business plan, now may be the time to consider adding it into your budget. The good news is, it doesn't have to cost you a lot and some of it you can even do yourself.
Social Media
If you don't have a social media presence, what have you been waiting for? Start posting. Where you shine most brightly will depend on your business. Instagram is perfect for companies with a lot of photo opportunities. Facebook translates across the board, you can share photos and information. Twitter is a great place to communicate with customers or potential customers. Regardless of what kind of business you are in, you should be on LinkedIn. This is where you can tell people about you and your company. If you already have a personal LinkedIn page, create one for your business as well. Wherever you post, make sure it's consistent and be responsive to those who communicate with you via social media.
Use Graphics
Graphics are like eye candy, they make whatever you post standout and create a more engaging post. You don't even have to be an artist to create some awesome graphics. There are a number of simple design programs such as Canva that make it easy and inexpensive. Infographics also are a great way to tell a story in pictures.
Use Video
It's one of the most powerful and effective ways to get your message across and you don't need expensive equipment to do it. If you have a steady hand, you can even make a video using your IPhone. I have shot and edited videos using my IPhone and IMovie in under an hour for posting to Facebook and the hits just kept coming. The videos can be serious, funny, quirky and informative. It's all up to you.
Press Releases
Although still a staple of the business, press releases are best used when you have something significant to announce. For example: Your company is launching a great new product, or your nonprofit just awarded a significant grant. Press releases can be overused, so consider whether what you have to say is worthy of one. This is where a PR professional comes in. They are the ones with the connections to get your message across.
This is a great way to reach out to existing customers/clients. You can use a newsletter to tell them what's new with your company, what new products or services you are offering, what deals you may be offering. You can include coupons. If you are in a service industry, they also can be used to inform clients about developments that might impact them or their business. Newsletters are a great way to keep in touch, but don't over use them, otherwise people will unsubscribe. To get new subscribers, add an opt-in option on your website.
As 2018 nears, now is a good time to consider what tools you will use to grow your business.

We've made it through another year
As we come to the end of another year I thought it would be a good time to reflect on all that has happened in 2015. I have been blessed with a wonderful family, good friends, exceptional business partners and a stable of clients who make coming to work every day fun.
I get to do what I enjoy and work with others who enjoy what they do as well. I can't believe that Garton-Miller Media will be entering its third year in 2016. From everything I have read, most businesses fail within the first year, so I must be doing something right. I will let you in on the secret when I figure it out.
That's not to say running a business is all fun and games. There are many things that involve accounting and bookkeeping that I would prefer not to have to deal with, but thanks to a wonderful (and very patient) woman who handles my taxes and takes my calls and texts on a regular basis, it's been a lot easier. Thanks Maria!
I get to work from home and be there for my kids when they need me. I also get to work with my Golden Retrievers at my feet – it doesn't get any better than that.
My nonprofit clients do so much good, it's been a humbling experience to work with them.

How are you all?! I'm doing great! BUT my bathroom is still broken.. haha so that's fun. It has been pouring rain almost everyday here which makes it really hard to walk out in the wilderness because it is so muddy. haha Sister Pongyan almost fell so many times. I almost fell over laughing watching her try to navigate across the slippery slopes.
This past week we have a few new progressing investigators! We have a part-member family and some of them went to church yesterday! The Candido Family. They have been going through a lot lately and the two young men who are members, Leobeth and Leomar have been preparing to serve missions. Their family were some of the laziest uninterested investigators who never kept their commitments. Sister Pongyan and I started from the beginning all over again and they are excited about the gospel!! When I saw them at church yesterday I almost started crying, I was so happy. Plus the 2 members were So happy to have their siblings go to church for the first time with them. Next week hopefully their mom will go as well.
The other day while we were out proselyting some girls started taking some selfies so Sister Pongyan and I photobombed their pictures. As soon as people saw us, everyone around us just started taking so many pictures of me. Haha it was like being surround by paparazzi (at least what I imagine it would be like).
Fast and Testimony meeting yesterday was SO good. I cried for almost the whole meeting, and it was NOT because I was hungry.The spirit was so strong. One member who has not been able to go to church for over a year because his family won't let him, Victor Birdida, CAME TO CHURCH! That is really what made me cry. When he walked in all of the youth, his friends, were so unbelievably happy. He goes to seminary, all the activities, is basically active, just doesn't go to church on Sunday. But he came yesterday. I know that fasting is a commandment of God and that if we "fast and pray oft" that Heavenly Father will help us and see our sacrifice.
I am in denial that I only have a year left. But I am going to make the absolute most of it and work hard. To give these people Heaven. (Not hell). haha
I love you guys. Hope you are all doing well. Until next week. :)

At the end of August I turned 21, so I decided to do one of those posts with things I have learnt over the years.
1. Enjoy the little things and don't take them for granted.
2. "Coolness" comes from confidence, not having the best of anything or everything.
3. Don't be embarrassed about being yourself. The people that "judge" you do not have any real effect on your life and are generally to immersed in themselves to pay any real attention anyway.
4. Having three real good friends is better than having a lot of fake friends.
5. Do not let toxic people have an affect on you, letting them out of your life is also an option.
6. Take care of yourself. You only get one body and one mind.
7. Drinking water helps everything.
8. Do more of what makes you happy.
9. If you want something bad enough, the only obstacle is you. And you are only one that can work for it.
10. Sometimes you need to be selfish and do what is best for you
11. Want and need is two very different things.
12. Positive thinking works if you stop complaining about everything.
13. Your family will always be there to pick you up after a fall.
14. Your parents probably had very good reasons for everything, even if you disagree with it at the time.
15. Sometimes shit happens, pick yourself up and move on. Hakuna Matata.
16. High schools really should have a "life management class". One that teaches you all the important things such as paying bills, how to manage tax and super, etc etc.
17. Learning comes from experience, failure and unexpected gains.
18. Sometimes you need to leave your comfort zone. I would have a lot more experiences with university and high school if I had just started talking to people rather than stayed in my comfort bubble.
19. Life is not a movie, you have to work for your dreams.
20. Acknowledge the beauty in the world, its one of those small things.
21. Life is what you make of it, so do the best you can.

It was great to meet ultraruby and bengraham. The former is a lj-pal with leedy, one of my friends from The Old Country, and we talked about that for a bit, she couldn't really remember on which site she would have seen leedy's name on. So when I came back, I was feeling curious and anti-sleepy, and so I went playing about with my find of yesterday: Livejournal Connect!
And I found out that ultraruby knows mzdt, who I sort of know, and that herself and leedy have in common jinxremoving, who I don't actually know, but that didn't stop me and a friend at some point trying to convince my friend Conrad to start using OkCupid so he could meet her, because if there's a smart lefty activist girl in Edinburgh, then studies show she needs to meet Conrad. (I'm guessing she was the one we were trying to cyber pimp - it seems reasonable to assume that there is an upper limit to the number of smart lefty activist girls called Nine in Edinburgh, and that the limit is 1).
And and! jinxremoving has a zine called "If destroyed, still true", which I would have assumed is some geek programming term, except there's a weblog of the same name by a guy (who writes well, but mostly about Xmen comics) in Edinburgh. So I investigated this odd phrase, and found out that it's both a shower of emo fvckers somewhere, and The best idea ever in the history of anything ever

Quailo Avenue, Hallett Cove, SA 5158
Principal: Anne Rathjen
In keeping with our lighthouse theme, our Student Representative Council members are known as Lighthouse Keepers.
Two Lighthouse Keepers are elected to represent each class for each semester every year. All LHK class reps for the year are inducted at an assembly at the start of the year. Light House Keepers meet regularly, raising class based issues to be discussed, providing feedback and developing proposals for staff and Governing Council about a range of issues.
We also have a Lighthouse Keeper Executive and Wellbeing Leader Team made up of Year 7 students. The Executive and Wellbeing Leaders play an important role at the school, acting as positive role models, being involved in decision making, assisting in running assemblies and leading student voice in key areas. All LHK Executive and Wellbeing Leaders are inducted at an assembly and then at the AGM each year.
All Year 7 students also participate in a School Leaders program. Teachers train Year 7s in skills of communication, teaming, listening, problem solving etc. They then work with small groups of students in all classes across the school to develop and embed a range of initiatives. Initially focus has been on the implementation of the Values throughout the school. This year the focus will be on teaching students to give feedback to inform learning.
All older classes are also buddied with a younger class. The buddy classes meet regularly to engage in a number of activities to develop positive relationships between older and younger students. Buddy classes present one assembly a year and may also participate in other activities together.
The partnership leads a program called Student Voice In Learning. School SVIL student representatives are trained by partnership leaders to develop initiatives in schools focusing on creating authentic student voice looking at ways to recognise and increase intellectual strength in and give feedback about learning.

A Conversation with Crystal Rose, CEO of Sense, with Alex Lightman.
Alex Lightman: What is Sense?
Crystal Rose: A way to share your knowledge and to earn from it. Sense is also a protocol for human intelligence, and a token that allows you to get rewarded for your human capital. A token is a value holder or placeholder for all the things you can contribute, a very granular way to keep track of all the knowledge you share, big and small, across the digital world.
Your slogan is "Rewarding Human Capital." How does that work?
Human capital is something we define as all your skills, life experience, your knowledge. Everything you contribute digitally (some code posted on Github, giving recommendations on Facebook, answering AMAs, commenting on Reddit, or contributions to conversations on Telegram) is rewarded by getting Sense, which is a token. The more Sense you have, the more knowledge you can request with Sense. Sense allows you to gift knowledge and be gifted more knowledge in return.
What are the parts of the Sense ecosystem?
There are three parts. Sense, a token of value for human capital. The application layer, on which Sensay is the largest application currently running, with three million active users and growing faster now that we announced Sense would be used on this application layer. The third part is Humans.AI, which is a protocol for Human Intelligence, and developer tools for accessing a neural net of human data, and accessing live actual humans.
What are the different smart contracts that Sense makes use of?
There are smart contracts in chat and they can be extended to any application. The first smart contract is the token itself, which is a value exchange. The second one is knowledge attribution, which includes what you have contributed to centralized and decentralized applications (like Reddit and Steemit). If I have told Sensay the bot everything about the Blockchain that I know, that can go into the knowledge attribution contract. And the third one is the knowledge access contract, which includes all your digital knowledge online. You get rewarded every time that you allow a human or bot to access that knowledge.
Where does artificial intelligence play a role with the Sense ecosystem?
We believe that the future of intelligence is human, not just artificial. We think of artificial intelligence and human intelligence converging, and want us to think of AI as Augmented Intelligence. We have machine learning, so that an AI can understand the value of the knowledge when we are doing knowledge attribution, and this is done today via conversation analysis. We can know a lot about a person on the platform we call Humans.AI, which is a protocol accessible by developers and on the Blockchain. Developers can build, for instance, a dating bot. The developers can use the knowledge of the community and find all the people who share interests in, say, Game of Thrones, cats, and strategy games. To access all this, the developers would pay Sense.
Who is your market?
We are a consumer-focused Blockchain application that gives value to people for something they use every day. Everyone uses messenger applications, social media, and other platforms like blogging, but most people get buried beneath search engine optimization.
There are 7.5 billion people in the world and 4.9 billion with mobile phones, and 3.6 billion with access to the Internet. 2.8 billion are on social media and 1.2 billion are on Messenger. What's the point of all those stats? To me, that nearly everyone is one line, and we should be better at connecting and sharing knowledge, intelligence, information, wisdom and good work.
We as humans could transfer information faster and learn faster if we could connect to the right people at the right time. If we want to add brains as nodes on the network, we would have to have two things: brains that were good actors and had the desire to be on the network. Sense is a reward system that makes you feel good about both sharing and transacting, and you don't have to feel as though you are forced to give away everything you know to everyone for free all the time.
How much are you raising and how will that money be used?
We have a cap of $25 million. We have a billion tokens and we are going to be selling 275 million of them. 30% are reserved for current developers and communities. 15% is reserved for future developers. 27.5% each will be sold in the token sale and reserved for the organization. I am excited to use the money to build out the Sense ecosystem. My primary goal now is to get as many developers as possible building out what we could call "the Collective Consciousness".
What is the Collective Consciousness?
It's everything we have in our minds that we are willing to share or hold in common. It's the global human network. To me, it's what we love about the Internet, all transacted through the human network, but personal, and instant. There are aspects that are the same as The Matrix, in that expertise can be downloaded. Neo said, "I know Kung Fu." I want anyone to be able to instantly download and grasp expertise in any field he or she chooses.
There's another aspect to this, related to the Blockchain. Operating with transparency leads to operating with integrity. We have to get better at working for the good of groups, communities and the whole. That's a beneficial effect of working in decentralized communities and industries. My experience is that over-centralization leads to overemphasis on self-interest that is misaligned with other interests and parties. So I would like the Sense-centric Collective Consciousness to have people want to contribute to the global better human network. Why is so much good work done for free, considering all the charitable and volunteer work? We want to bring about a convergence of interests and maximize incentives to do good work for good reasons, and have a way of keeping track. That's Sense.
Are there specific ways that developers can participate?
Yes. We appreciate it, when we can find and collaborate with developer communities that have benevolent values and are making contributions that improve society and could be called good work. We also offer to help developers who have advances in software and who want to find communities to offer their software to.
Thank you, Crystal. We wish you success with Sense, Sensay and building out the Collective Consciousness!

Crystal and Kevin celebrated a lovely summer wedding at the Hilton San Diego in Del Mar. Surrounded by their closest family and friends, they were married by Crystal's grandfather and father in a very special ceremony on the outdoor patio, which was creatively decorated by Embellishment with beautiful purple drapery and purple flower vases. After cocktails on the lawn, the bride and groom entered the reception and danced their first dance. You'll notice that the bride wore a second, adorable, shorter cocktail gown to the reception. Perfect for dancing! Kevin's hockey buddies toasted the couple and shared a hockey chant with the groom during the toasts. And everyone danced the night away before the couple cut their gorgeous wedding cake.
If you look closely on the bouquets and the take centerpieces, you will notice words like "hope", "love", and "joyful" on them. This is inspired by Crystal's love for words (she's a writer). The words she picked couldn't have been more perfect to describe their amazing day!
Crystal and Kevin: We wish you years of love, joy and happiness! It was an honor to be apart of your special day!

originally written for the Daily Citizen-News, Dalton, Georgia, October 2014
Grace Kling remembers high school as the worst four years of her life.
"Everything before and after has been a Godsend," she shared. "But I lost a lot of confidence during high school. It broke me down. I went in excited, wanting to be in the top group of students, wanting to excel at my extra-curricular activities."
But some of the students in her grade and in the grade below her decided to make life difficult for Grace, she said.
Most of the negative experiences played out on the internet through social media, though her tormentors routinely blasted her with snide, passive-aggressive comments on campus. One guy drew over her senior picture with a sharpie in a lot of the other kids' yearbooks. Someone wrote a vulgar comment about her on a bathroom stall. Her car was vandalized. Once Grace left class and returned to find that her primary bully had spit in her bag, all over her wallet and homework.
"It was disgusting," Grace said. "I let my grades slack. I don't blame my bullies for that, but I just know that I became very depressed. By my senior year I was down to 84 pounds and people thought I was throwing up or something to lose weight. The truth was that I just had a ton of anxiety."
"My high school definitely knew about it," Grace said of the harassment, "but it was stuffed under the rug. I mean, what were they going to do about it?"
For Grace, relief finally came when she graduated. Today she's 22 years-old and living in SoHo, New York, where she works as a stylist.
"No matter what, there's never a reason to stay around people that bring you down or affect you in any negative capacity," Grace advised. "I thought that some people – even though they hurt me – were okay to be around because we shared friends. The truth is, it's never worth that much hurt and torture."
For Rhonda Chastain's daughter, Britany, bullying became physical her junior year.
"I often took lunch to school on days I wasn't working," Rhonda shared. "As soon as I left one day, a girl knocked Britany's food off the table and then punched her. Britany gained a black eye and a bloody lip."
Rhonda was called back to school to watch the lunchroom video tape of what had happened. The perpetrator was suspended, but the behavior didn't get better when Britany's bully returned to school. It got worse.
"Out of this group of about six girls one would get suspended and another would take over," Rhonda said. "It sounds ridiculous, but that's what happened. The bullying began before I even knew. Britany had been hiding it from me."
When Britany's aggressors learned there was no camera in the school stairwell they pushed her down, dislocating her shoulder, Rhonda said.
"I can't count how many times I went to school to talk," Rhonda recounted. "At least 15. They kept telling me, 'We suspended this one' or 'We suspended that one,' but there was always more girls in the clique to torment Britany."
After the lunchroom incident, Britany refused to go back to the cafeteria. She hid in a bathroom stall to eat her lunch or sometimes the computer lab teacher would allow her to sit in the empty classroom.
"Britany never fought back," Rhonda said. "We were told that if she did she'd be suspended and arrested. She became very moody at home, withdrawn. One of the counselors said it was just her age but it was more than normal teenage moodiness. She was being bullied in every way imaginable – verbally, socially, on-line, and physically. There was no peace."
For several days toward the end of Britany's junior year, Rhonda attended her daughter's last period with her to prevent the bullies from following through on threats to "get" Britany after school.
"Those kids didn't care if I was there or not," Rhonda recalled. "They verbally taunted her right in front of me. The teacher seemed not to hear. At that point I'd had it. I checked her out before that class the last two weeks of school. She failed Math. Luckily, she was able to keep her other credits."
Rhonda homeschooled Britany for a while. Now 19, Britany is enrolled in Endless Possibilities, a local alternative school, where she's earning her final credits to graduate.
"She runs into some of those girls sometimes," Rhonda said. "It's a small town. But she's more grounded and has moved on."
Five years ago, on October 17, David and Tina Long of Chatsworth lost a son to bullycide. They have since formed a non-profit anti-bullying organization that can be found at www.everythingstartswith1.org. Additional resources are at www.121help.me.
"Don't let your voice fall silent," Tina said. "There is help."
Connie Hall-Scott is a freelance writer and publicist. In honor of October being National Anti-bullying month, she and Judy Elliott discussed the topic on WDNN's Lifestyles for Women. The segment will air the weeks of October 20th and 27th.
AFTERWORD: Stories like Grace's and Britany's aren't uncommon. As adults – teachers, parents, administrators, lawmakers, human beings – we should NEVER stand for it. I met Tina Long about a year ago after watching her family's story on the movie "Bully." My heart immediately went out to her. If you haven't watched the documentary yet – you should. It's on Netflix. The Longs lost their precious son Tyler, 5 years ago this month, to bullycide. Their story is beyond heartbreaking and it makes me furious. EVERY child should be protected. EVERY child should be cherished. And EVERY child should be able to get up in the morning and get ready for school without depression and worry over whether or not someone or some group is going to shame them or even hurt them physically. Even if I had not been touched by the effects of bullying on a personal level – someone I love is currently going through a struggle – I'd still be outraged. I guess I just don't understand mean people. What exactly is missing in the lives of bullies that led to their perverse actions? Thank God for people like Tina and David Long who tirelessly WORK to make changes. I urge you to visit their website – http://www.everythingstartswith1.org. I urge you to do something yourself. Even if that something is simply speaking up when you see an episode of bullying going down.

We Are Generation Youth
The path to the top is seldom so easy, and many would contend that nothing earned without pain is worth having. For Wendy Lewis and Randy Ray, coming out of retirement with their successful histories in enterprise was a great step toward their philanthropic worldviews but also a risky maneuver. As they've shown, risks like these are worth taking when your conviction burns hotter than the fear of failure, and to this day, the multi-level marketing (MLM) platform is poised for worldwide recognition as a fast-growing alternative to conventional age-stopping techniques.
Jeunesse Global was given its first heartbeat in September 9, 2009 as the spry duo briskly stepped from the protection of retirement and into a new world of age-reversal products that would be made available to people everywhere. The company has since burgeoned into a successful name that sells a highly researched and well-developed nine-point anti-aging system — the Youth Enhancement System — to help people understand how important it is to maintain the life in their years with the contemporary hazards that we face now.
The Nine Steps
The Youth Enhancement System is completely natural and formed from proprietary blends that Jeunesse's own researchers developed from scientifically verified results. While it's not intended to replace essential prescription treatments, the following that Jeunesse has amassed is a testament that the results are satisfying. One would assume that Randy and Wendy were on to something.
In an array of mediums, the Youth Enhancement System is applied to users in a variety of ways:
- Gel packs
- Powder blends
- Juices
- Edibles
- Topical creams
The better half of the nine products that are offered within the system use different mediums of capitalize on the body's absorption methods, which is essential to ensuring that their product is effective. The range of benefits includes:
- More restful sleep, quicker wakefulness and day-long energy
- Mood-lifting and mind-sharpening supplements
- Skin-clearing creams that eliminate blemishes almost immediately while preventing them from returning in the long run
- Superfood mixes that uniquely enhance the functionality of the immune system to engage recovery
- Antioxidant blends with loads of antioxidants to slow the aging process down the road

James Gunn posts pictures from the Guardians of the Galaxy 2 rehearsals
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 hits theaters in 15 months (!!!) and now that production is gearing up to start, director James Gunn was goodly enough to posts some pictures of the process. Thank you, social media! First up is a non-revealing pic from the table read, along with a few pictures of rehearsals that include Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista and Michael Rooker! Included below is Gunn's commentary on what exactly is going on here.
Table read for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 was this morning. Oh my gosh, it was the most fun I've ever had watching a table read, and just as much fun seeing everyone together again. However someone spelled out star's name wrong so I had to correct it for him.
Michael Rooker doesn't like being shot during rehearsals (with Sean Gunn).
When someone's screwing up a scene during rehearsals I show them Dave Bautista as an example of good acting.
Gunn's directorial stylings proved to be a perfect fit for a movie as off the wall as GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY. Wouldn't you know it that it was a hit with everyone else? Suffice it to say that the sequel will definitely be one of the most anticipated in Marvel's repertoire, so I'm hoping that Gunn and the gang can deliver an adventure that was as exciting as the first. If not, there's always those INFINITY WARS movies...
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 will open on May 5, 2017.

Today I have had to travel from the island of Borneo...from SABAH and the townof Kota Kinabalu. Then to Kuala Lumpur where I had a 5 hour lay over andfinally arriving very late at night in Bangkok. The election has alreadybegun....Today, in honor of the election, I am wearing an Obama '08 button on mylapel. If the treatment and reaction throughout my day is any indication ofwhat our world might become....I am overwhelmed with optimism. First, everysingle place I went, someone noticed the button and called out, "OBAMA!".There were international administrators from across the region at the hotel.Many of them nodded and smiled, and even the non-Americans who reacted withhuge enthusiasm.One man from Australia stopped me to talk politics for 10 minutes. The crewworking behind thedesk all gave a thumbs up...the taxi driver did not charge me for taking meto the airport.I must explain that, once at the airport, I am one of very few Americansamong Asians from all over this region. I might possibly be the only blond ineither airport I have been in so far today, and won't see many if anyAmericans until Bangkok. I do not speak the language...thank goodness theyspeak English.Upon seeing my button, everyone, without exception, smiles. I have receivedpreferential treatment all day long. They didn't make me pay extra for a heavybag, they treated me in short, like royalty. The stewardess told the pilot,who stood up in the cock pit to give me a thumbs up. Even the immigrationofficial barely looked at my passport. He was much more interested in knowingan Obama supporter and what I thought would happen today.When I was buying dinner at a very American McDonalds (the only place to getsomething to eat), the entire crew behind the counter (not one American) cameto say kind words to me. The man who exchanged my money asked how I could doanything so far away from the USA. I told him, with some amount of pride,that I had voted by absentee ballot. He took my hand and said, "thank you somuch for voting for Mr. Obama." There were actual tears in his eyes.While waiting at the airport in Kota Kinabalu and girl about 9 years old saw my button. She smiled broadly. I said hello and she asked if I wanted Obama to win because she did and her whole family did and that that morning they said a prayer that he would. I told her that I thought Barack would like that a girl all the way in Kota Kinabalu said a prayer for him. She asked could I tell him that they were praying for him and I said I would send an email to his headquarters. She was so excited that she ran to tell her parents. Her father came over and asked me if I knew Obama. I told him I had seen him speak, but never met him. He said that his whole community was praying for Obama and that he appreciated that I would write an email to tell him. He took my hand and said, we are praying for all of the American people too. This was the second stranger to take my hand today. It was my turn to have tears in my eyes, because this man, who I didn't know, was completely sincere. I thanked him. He said, "all of us, together...do you understand?" I said, "All of us together." We parted...smiling!I write this as I sit in the airport at Kuala Lumpur waiting for hours for the plane. The women who guard the doors have on muslim headdresses , orange pants outfits and lime green jerseys. They are shy and reserved, yet they give me the thumbs up, and quietly whisper, "Obama" as I walk by. There are Thai and Chinese, and Indonesians and Indians surrounding me...The languages, dress, foods are all interesting. And sitting right next to me is a Buddhist monk, in just his orangish/yellow robes and shaved head. He smiles broadly when I look at him. He says frankly, "I like Obama."

A world of hope
I received the following text in an email from a friend of the writer's family, and in reading it aloud to my husband I cried and stumbled to read the words, my spirit felt full and touched with the community this woman experienced, hoping it is all understandable since I cut and pasted it here....

Your blog about Obama makes me smile with the hope that has indeed come at last.

Pilot 2006 Environmental Performance Index
The Pilot 2006 Environmental Performance Index was formally released in Davos, Switzerland, at the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum this past January. The EPI is a new effort to gauge countries against a set of 16 specific indicators tracked in six policy categories: Environmental Health, Air Quality, Water Resources, Productive Natural Resources, Biodiversity and Habitat, and Sustainable Energy. The world map shown here combines the indicators to portray overall environmental health by nation. You might think of the colors as proxy values for sustainability. Coincidentally (or not?) yellow, red, & orange nations appear to be places from which large numbers of people migrate to new homes in the blue and green. Data lovers, hang on. More posts on the index and underlying environmental trends are coming.

2017 Mexican Nationals
by, 04-10-2017 at 11:31 PM (1996 Views)
If you had told me when I first tore open that Avengers vs X-Men starter set, that one day I'd travel outside the borders of this country, just to play that game, I would not have believed you. It's funny how things work out.
My journey from an eBay purchase of an out of stock starter kit to playing in Mexico City involves a lot of steps.
Firstly, I fell in love with that game.
I played it any chance I could get.
In search of places to play, I journeyed to destinations like Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio.
I met good people during the course of these journeys.
One of the destinations was Origins 2016.
One of the good people was Victor Maya.
Victor was friendly and welcoming. His full expression of that quality was displayed in his desire for us, the squad that he hung out with at Origins, to come down to Mexico City for 2017 Nationals. Victor offered us a place to stay. He would host us and be our guide. He would protect the integrity of our digestive systems. He would keep us safe from potential kidnapping scenarios as we would likely be targeted due to our high value Dice Masters cards. After all, a Hellblazer can buy many goods with the exchange rate as it currently stands.
With the promise that our cards would not be pilfered and our tummies not upset, Victor had made us an offer that we couldn't refuse. Well...we could refuse it. I mean it's not like Victor is a cartel hitman who just happens to play Dice Masters.
....or is he?
One of us unfortunately had to refuse that offer. Gary Kondek, Dice Masters enthusiast and noted coffee addict, was unable to make the trip. Without Gary, the three of us (Andy Krouse, Ryan Williams and myself) made the trip south of the border.
Here is the story of that trip.
I almost didn't make my flight. Here in the greater Chicago area, it was Spring Break week and I had not considered the effect this would have on finding parking at the airport. As a resident of a major city, I could have taken the train to the airport but that option was taken off the table as I had offered to be Victor's board game mule. No one tell the Customs department because they took a loss this time. With two suitcases and a backpack, the "EL" was out of the question. I drove around going from economy parking lot to lot, finding them all filled to capacity. Every time I was turned away, the realization dawned on me, I was going to have to park in the $40 a day lot.
Begrudgingly, I did. I don't feel good about it but sacrifices must be made. The time spent trying to save a considerable amount of money meant I was pretty late for an international flight. I hurriedly made my way to the Volaris counter. It was deserted. One worker noticed me standing at the counter and told me that the flight was closed. I protested and sensing a major hissy fit, they relented and let me check in.
The flight went pretty smooth. I was surprised to look at the inflight menu and see the ability to purchase Cup Noodles and Takis. In my frugalness, I had basically booked a flight on a 7-11 that can fly. I didn't see anyone order either item. I wondered how many people ever do.
Victor and the gang met me outside the gate pretty quickly but not quick enough to stop me from exchanging my money at a counter with an unfavorable exchange rate. I should have know something was up when the guy told me the exchange rate and then paused, as if I was about to say, "Uh are you crazy?" I said nothing and let the man assault me financially.
I met up with the guys and Victor was very approving in my choice of pants over shorts. Andy and Ryan were wearing shorts and, as it was proven later, only tourist wear shorts.
I shamefully had to admit, the pants I was wearing were the only pair I brought. It was cold in Chicago and I was going to get some sun on these legs.
We went straight to Victor's flat. We drove thru the worst traffic I had ever seen. Victor explained it was payday and everyone had money to afford gas. If you ever question the disparities in income and wonder why so many Mexicans try to cross our border for a better life, consider having to wait until payday to be able to drive your car.
Victor's mom had made us pozole. I've eaten pozole before, after all I live in a city with a large Hispanic population and I have a large appetite. Victor's mom also made a hot sauce and warned us that it was pretty hot. Oh, what's that? It's pretty hot? I took that as a challenge. That's the kind of person I am. I love spicy things, I'm a Korean-American and we can hold our own. Three big scoops of the green sauce later and the point was proven.
The rest of the night we playtested for practice and then went to sleep.
We woke up early and headed to the venue and parked in a private lot even though street parking was free. I guess I infect everyone with parking issues wherever I go.
The venue was on a floor of an office building that was being renovated. There was an area for registration, a feature table for streaming, tables for Heroclix and Dice Masters and finally a table with a guy selling tortas (sandwiches) for 30 pesos. We will come back to the torta table later in the story.
Guess who was there, wearing a blue judges polo emblazoned with the logos of WizKids, Devir (the distributor of WizKids's products) and Game Events MX (the group who put these events on in Mexico)?
Joseph Horsfall aka JT aka Mr. Unlimited Confidence aka Doctor Count Von Homash.
I knew JT would be there as he had informed me that he would be judging but it was good to see him none the less.
There was some drama with the selection of JT as a judge mainly due to the local players belief that the judge in a Mexican Nationals event should be able to converse in their native tongue. I see both sides. JT obviously knows his stuff. The local players should be serviced since this event is really for them. In the end JT played since it would help in increasing the player count and allowing more qualifications. Adolfo, who judged last year, would judge again even though he hadn't played in a year and he would rely on JT for rules help in all queries except those in matches that involved JT. For those he would ask me or Andy or Ryan. Good compromise.
I'm not going to go over the matches. I'm not the right guy for that. I played a ring team for qualifier one. I qualified.
We took a break for lunch and we ate.......Panda Express. It was close and quick. The fried rice tasted different than it does in the States. The orange chicken tasted exactly the same.
Qualifier two. I played a Bard team. It was a team I had made that morning. I felt obligated to play a Bard team since rotation is coming and this was my last opportunity to do so.
I did better than I did in qualifier one. I even won on steam against a little Mexican dude wearing big black glasses named Angel. Angel would go on to become the 2017 Mexican champion playing the same exact team I beat with one substitution. The fact that I'm clinging to this should foreshadow how my Nationals went. All of us qualified except for JT, who would have been qualified if some, sadly very common, WizKids screw up has been fixed. Victor's friend Ulysses was already qualified but due to WIN being crap, he wasn't or something. I don't know.
Us four Americans, Victor, Victor's girlfriend Stella, and his cousin Arturo all went out to dinner at a restaurant called El Charco de Las Ranas. We ate alambres and it was one of the best meals of my life. All of you reading this are living poorer lives because you haven't eaten there. I actually feel this way. It was that good. It was also $12 a person.
With full bellies we said goodbye and went to bed.
We woke up early. Oh did I mention, the crazy young people blasting music in the parking lot every morning. Young people home from the club, possibly on coke, sitting in their cars at five in the morning blasting music and yelling periodically. I shouldn't have bothered setting an alarm. How thoughtful of them.
We got to the venue and the same guy was selling tortas. The same tortas.. You might say they are spoiling but that's because you're a pessimist. I like to think that they are aging like fine wine.
People played Dice Masters. Some won and some lost. One dude won more than everyone else. That dude was crowned champion. Blah.
I'm glossing over this day because I did horribly. I went 0-4. Yup.
One part of my character that I'm proud of is that I own up to my mistakes. If I lose because of luck I know it. If I lose because of my poor play, I know that too.
I played poorly. I made mistakes. No bad luck. Just bad decisions.
Victor played well. He ended up second. Andy made it to top 4. Ryan made it to top 8 where he lost to Andy. JT did a good job of judging. I debated if it would be a noble challenge to take on a day old torta and decided against it.
With the event over we went out to dinner to eat flautas. Good but not as good as the previous night.
JT had an early flight Monday, as did I. So a plan was hatched to stay up all night playing Food Chain Magnate which I had brought with me. We went and got JT's stuff and headed back home to Victor's.
We played FCM, my favorite game of all time. Laughs were had. Ryan won. I learned that JT's confidence and skill aren't limited to DM alone. I learned Andy has a strange idea of what a "restaurant" is. What those waitresses do for those tips, we will never know.
In the morning we said our goodbyes. Victor took JT and I to the airport.
And like that it was over.
This trip ranked up there with Origins for me. I got to spend time with good people. We laughed. We learned. That's the stuff that matters in the end. Not the wins and losses. It's the people and the shared moments.
I want to thank Victor, Stella, Ulysses, Arturo, Adolfo, Andy, JT, Ryan, and everyone else in Mexico. It was wonderful.

Hudson Valley writes USPAP-compliant appraisals of all types, and can help you with deciding which items to sell, auction, hold, or have us hold for consignment. We're also well-versed in conservation and restoration of your most precious treasures.
Appraisal & Marketing Reports
We write USPAP (Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice)-compliant appraisals of all types: Estate, IRS, market-value, insurance, replacement, liquidation. We also write accurate market reports advising on your sales options in various venues.
Sales & Action
Often it makes sense to break a collection into several logical lots to sell in separate groups. We can help you decide which items to sell immediately, put at auction, or hold for investment. We can also put your holdings out to bid to different dealers in a consignment arrangement.
Conservation & Resoration
You should never attempt to clean a coin or collectible item in any manner! A single hairline from an abrasive cleaning or removal of any of a coin's natural "toning" (colored oxidation) can kill the value of a rarity.
We can advise you as to whether a coin requires professional conservation (e.g., the removal of damaging residue from an old holder or tape, to prevent further damage) or a vase warrants restoration (repairing a chip). We perform these services and know the best people in the field.

Love Log Cabins!
How I would love to own a Log Cabin.
I have always had a desire to own a log house or cabin every since I can remember. My wife and I spent the weekend in one this past, for our 7th wedding anniversary. We had a very nice, peaceful, relaxing weekend. It rained a good bit and it beat down on the tin roof like a million tiny drummers.
The mountains around Asheville, NC are full of these little vacation getaways and for a small fee you can rent one for a weekend or longer. We hope to go back and do this again each year until we finally buy one for ourselves to escape to and perhaps rent out to others for them to enjoy. What a life it must have been in years past to live out in the wilderness with no cars, TV's, computers or airplanes buzzing overhead. Only the sounds of the critters that lived near you to pierce the night air. It was hard to sleep due to the change in sound from the city to the country.
Our anniversary was one to be remembered and we took a few pics of the cabin and the surroundings. I'll post a few here if I can get them transferred to this computer.
Farewell and a long life to you all...
