I will freely admit that I really like this product and find that it works well w/ and for my hair. I have long, straight, slightly coarse Asian hair that is not colored or treated and my scalp is normal in terms of oil production. It's a bit sensitive, too. Here's how WEN works on my scalp: it cleanses it, but doesn't irritate it. My scalp doesn't feel oily the next day and I find I'm losing less hair in the shower (this is just my observation--it's not a concrete, scientifically-proven fact. Please don't treat it as such). As for my hair, it's instantly detangled, soft, smoother, and shiny. I find I don't need to use styling products after using it, maybe a couple drops of jojoba oil on a particularly dry day. At first it appears to be on the pricey side, but it takes the place of a shampoo, a conditioner, a shave gel, a leave-in conditioner, and any styling products I used in the past, so I'd say that's a great deal. Cuts down clutter in my bathroom and cuts down time spent in the shower, too. I massage well into my scalp, comb it through, add a tad more to the ends, and then leave it alone while I wash my face, shave, exfoliate, etc. Rinse it out, and you're done.I still feel the need, though, to clarify once a week w/ a sulfate-free shampoo and deep conditioner. Also, I can't go too long w/o "shampooing," a day at most. They say that it's better for your hair not to shampoo everyday, but perhaps they were thinking of traditional shampoos when they made that statement... continued >>

If you are still searching for that perfect shampoo and conditioner, stop and read this first! This is the HG of hair care! You can give away all of your other shampoos and conditioners as this is the only line you will ever want to use again. I guess you can tell that I'm in love with this line.
Chaz Dean, a Hollywood stylist, concocted this gem in his kitchen several years ago and I had a chance to try it about a year ago. I've never had any luck with those combination shampoo/conditioners that are on the market and I was pretty skeptical about this one as well. I have long, layered, baby fine, color treated (red) hair and it will tangle if you look at it the wrong way. Enter Wen...I started with the original, Sweet Almond Mint which was designed for all hair types. I still find it is the best one for fine hair as it gives your hair the most body.
It's an unusual concept because there is no lather. It feels like you are washing your hair with conditioner. You use 12, 15 pumps, it depends on the thickness and length of your hair. These are small pumps and the product does last a long time. You put it on when you climb in the shower and let it work into your hair. Add a little water and a little more conditioner, if you need it, massage gently and wait until the end of your shower to rinse with COOL WATER. Add a pump or two as a leave in conditioner while your hair is still soaking wet...it's the best cure for the frizzies.
Chaz now offers Fig, Tea Tree and Cucumber Aloe. You can buy it on his website, chazdean.com or at QVC. You can make your own hair cocktail by mixing the different formulas together. I like to use the Fig as an overnight conditioner. I smooth it through my hair at night and use my Sweet Almond in the morning to wash it out. My hair has never been so healthy and so shiny. I also love his styling creme and he now has some great body products that I want to try! I can even let my hair air dry now and it still looks great!

I love this product, quite unexpectedly. A friend kept raving about it. I was skeptical that it would work for me, since she has coarse afriican hair and I have baby fine wavy hair, long, layered and prone to frizz. This friend was always telling me about how it's really bad to shampoo every day... which I'm sure is true, especially for dry hair and scalp, but my hair and scalp tend toward oily, so it just feels gross not washing my hair with shampoo (and usually clarifying ones, too,) every day. well, once i tried this product I changed my tune. I ordered a bottle from the web site and it was fairly pricey, but my friend promised to buy it from me if I didn't like it. Well, needless to say I do like it! When I use this my hair feels a lot healthier. Normally my hair is prone to breakage and I lose some hair every day in the shower just from running conditioner with my fingers down to the ends. Using wen cleansing conditioner, I lose a lot less hair, 'cause this product detangles instantly. No other products required. I thought the lack of lather would be too weird but I got used to it right away. This product has no harsh detergents so I wondered if it would get my hair clean, at all. It really does! It contains glycerin which I think does clean very gently. It even has a little 'squeak' to it when you rinse it out. My hair feels soft, not dirty or oily. And the best part... I don't need styling products after this! It's amazing, that this one product can take the place of shampoo, conditioner AND styling products. The smell is wonderful, too, light and minty, maybe vaguely similar to aveda rosemary mint, if I had to make a comparison. It's really worth trying, and now I'm going to order more, since I already used up most of the bottle, I want to try the cucumber aloe version. That;s the one thing, is that you do need a lot of product so it ends up being pricy. (I have long hair and use about 20 pumps a day.) But, it really is worth it since this product eliminates the need for so many other products, and really makes my hair look and feel great. TRY it! Edited to add: this does contain methylisothiazoline which is purportedly toxic. That won't stop me from using it but I was surprised to see that on the bottle.

The scent of this reminds me of Aveda, with an even heavier price tag. This did nothing in terms of anything special for my hair that a cheapy conditioner couldn't do and was not worth the astronomical price tag. Also, I needed a 1/4 of the $30 bottle for one wash. Won't repurchase.

I really wanted to like this product...I got the discovery kit on qvc..but after using it a few times it made my hair feel like I washed it with conditioner alone. It looked like I didn't wash my hair in a couple of days and even felt like that! I tried using different amounts of pumps, but it didn't seem to make a difference. My hair is long, blonde (color treated) and I have to blow dry (and sometimes flat iron) to get it straight. The results I get from shampoo and conditioner are so much better. Needless to say, I sent the kit back.

Smells great, but is so expensive. The menthol in it seems to irritate my scalp and I get build-up like crazy from it. Won't repurchase.

I bought WEN after seeing so many threads and rave reviews for this product on the QVC beauty forums. I was new to the concept of cleansing with a conditioner and this seemed like an intriguing concept. My hair did really improve with WEN. My hair looks dull and feels dry when I shampoo. With WEN, it is so much shinier, softer, and moisturized. However, since buying WEN, I learned that the concept of cleansing with a conditioner isn't new. People have been doing it for years using cheap drugstore brand conditioners such as Suave. I decided to buy a bottle of Suave to see if I could get the same results as I did with WEN. I did indeed get the exact same results using Suave. So while WEN is a good product, I won't be continuing to use it anymore because I can get the same exact results for a fraction of the price by using Suave. Another minus to WEN is that the pump stops working when you have only about 1/4 of the product remaining in the bottle. It becomes difficult to get the product out of the bottle because you can't sit it upside down due to the pump.

I really did'nt care for this at all. Maybe its my hair type and the hard water (alot of fine hair with very oily roots). My hair just does not feel clean. It is shinier but it has no bounce and looks stringy. And I swear I lose more hair when I use this (some said that on the QVC forums too) even if I use this as a leave-in (which did'nt do much for me either.) I don' think I could ever be a CO girl. I give it two lippies for the shine, but will not repurchase.

This product worked well on my naturally curly, fine yet thick hair. I found that my scalp actually felt cleaner longer after using this than after using a traditional shampoo - very interesting. I liked the "one product does it all" aspect as well - I'd massage it into my scalp, comb it through my ends and let my hair just "be" while I went about my shower. After rinsing out with cool water, I'd scrunch some in as a leave-in/styler and was quite happy with the results (and the scent). While it doesn't really provide any hold, I got fairly decent curl formation that lasted all day and no frizz. My hair felt really soft, too. My only complaints - the pump bottle (hard to get the last bit out of there) and the price. I went through this fairly quickly and I'm not made of money, so using this stuff everyday just isn't feasible for me. But I'd definitely buy it again as a little treat to myself.

I've been to Chaz Dean's salon in Hollywood. He and his staff are super nice, helpful, and professional. However, his cleansing conditioners are super expensive to use (you'll go through alot fast!) and don't thoroughly cleanse my scalp. Over time, my hair and scalp just didn't feel clean. (I think I tried for a month and a half.) It's a nice concept, but just doesn't work for me.

Shortly after 0700 hours this morning, there was a group of Republicans practicing for their annual charity softball game, that has been being played since 1909, when a gunman opened fire with a rifle causing everyone on the field to scramble for safety.
It has been reported that two of the players were leaving the practice early, when a man who has now been identified as James Hodgkinson, asked them who was practicing on the field. After they informed the man that it was congressional staff practicing for a charity game, the man asked them if they were Republican or Democrat, to which they replied, Republican.
In was not long after that encounter that the shooter, James Hodginson, opened fire on those practicing on the field.
The field is fenced in with only one way in and out, so the people were trapped. Majority Whip Seteve Scalise was standing on 2nd base and was hit almost immediately in his hip, left helpless on the field for some 10 minutes as the gunman continued firing on the helpless victims.
Fortunately, since Steve Scalise (R-LA) is a member of House Leadership, he had a protective detail with two members of the Capitol Police. Both Capitol Police Officers were wounded while engaging the shooter and everyone on scene is crediting them with saving their lives and preventing a total massacre.
The police are still not releasing a lot of detail on specifics, but we do know that at least 5 people were wounded and reports are that all of them are going to be fine. The shooter, James Hodgkinson, a 66-year-old male, was wounded and transported to the hospital, but fortunately he expired and will not become a burden to the taxpayers. We will also be spared his excuses and ignorant ramblings.
The #congressionalbaseballgame is on. We will play for charity, but also for the victims & the heroic officers who took down the shooter.

Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana, a true friend and patriot, was badly injured but will fully recover. Our thoughts and prayers are with him.

The Richardson local elections on May 14 promise to offer important choices for voters. Whether those choices turn out to be controversial or highly contested is another matter. So far, there are no fireworks visible on the horizon. But it's still early.
After the jump, a look at how the school district and city council elections are shaping up.
Voters in the Richardson school school district (RISD) will have two decisions to make. First is the choice for two seats on the school board. Incumbents Karen Ellis and Kim Quirk have both announced their intentions to run for re-election. So far, no one has announced plans to oppose them. The rumor mill is quiet. Perhaps individuals will emerge, but it's looking unlikely that they will have the support of an organized opposition group.
The other decision RISD voters will likely face is whether to approve a $170 million bond package for capital improvement projects. The school board has not yet made the final decision to place this before the voters, but it almost certainly will. No opposition has emerged. Town hall meetings were held in January at all four high schools in the district. Turnout was small. A question raised at one of the meetings suggests strong support for Richardson's public schools: "Are you sure the bond package is big enough?" The school board seems to have done a good job of meeting essential needs without requiring a tax increase to pay for those needs.
The RISD is high-achieving and well run. The election campaign has not yet begun, but at this early stage I'm inclined to support the current course -- that is, re-election of the incumbents and passage of the bond package.
Whereas the RISD election looks, at this point, to be uncontentious, the Richardson city council election is more of a wild card. At least three of seven incumbents are stepping down -- Mayor Gary Slagel, John Murphy and Bob Macy. Amir Omar has publicly announced his candidacy for re-election. No other incumbents or challengers have publicly announced their candidacies, although Slagel has endorsed Laura Maczka.
In the 2009 election campaign, open and transparent government was a key issue. What the issues will be in the coming election will depend on who the candidates turn out to be. We'll know that March 14, the deadline for filing. A dozen or so people have picked up candidate packages from city hall.
After the contentious 2009 election, the council delivered on its promises of televised council meetings, an online city checkbook, and a code of ethics for the council. The council proposed and voters approved a bond package for much needed capital improvements to streets, neighborhoods, city buildings and parks and recreation centers. Redevelopment of West Spring Valley corridor and development of the vacant land around the Bush DART Station both moved forward. I don't want to re-fight these battles. Like the RISD election, unless there are some surprise candidates with surprise issues, at this early stage I'm inclined to support candidates who support the current course in the city of Richardson, too.

Publishing Rush!
DIVER Magazine November 2008 issue
My photos and story titled, Liquid Rush – Descent into British Columbia's Nakwakto Rapids, appeared in the November 2008 issue of Canada's DIVER Magazine. Publisher/Senior Editor, Phil Nuytten, wrote in his SOUNDINGS editorial "The Nakwakto Rapids piece is a good one… I've had some memorable dives off Nakwakto's "Tremble Island" (as the locals call it). Can you imagine a current so swift that an island throws a serious rooster-tail?! If you are an 'extreme dive' enthusiast, you should think about adding this notch to your gun-handle: the ultimate drift dive."
Thank You, Phil!

Re: Need Axis for WWI
Tom, have you ever tried the WW1 version of Strategic Command? I haven't, but I love the WW2 version of that game. I think they are a lot more playable than the JTS/HPS titles, i.e. easier to play and far less tedious. That is a personal opinion, of course. Just wondering if you have ever tried the WW1 version of Strategic Command.

A competency is know-how-to-act process which integrates and mobilises a set of capacities, skills and an amount of knowledge that will be used effectively in various problem-solving situations or in circumstances that have never occurred before.
A competency is inseparable from the contexts in which it appears. It calls upon knowledge coming from various sources and requires a selection and an organisation of the sources according to the situations in which the competency is mobilised. It is evolutionary since it continues throughout and beyond the school curriculum
When applying the Competency-Based Approach, the programme is to be centred on the pupil and on building up his/ her knowledge. It aims at making him / her needs within and outside school. This programme will help pupils learn how to listen, read and re-use what he knows in original and new situations.
These skills are integrated rather than taught in a behavioural way. According to the general objectives assigned to the teaching of English in the Algerian educational system, a socio-constructive and efficient cognitive design has been set out with the purpose in mind ti install irreversible competencies in the learner.
The experiment of the communicative approach, in force during the last decades, has shown that even if the pupils has reached a certain mastery of the language, the fact is that in practice, his performance has remained at a very low level. This is why a change in the teaching of English has become a priority. Dispensing knowledge is not enough any more. One should, from now on, help the pupil to
- Play an active role in his learning
- Make himself feel responsible for his training by giving him opportunity to find
answers to questions resulting from his daily experiences.
- Adopt increasingly autonomous conducts and responsible behaviours

Spend my Sunday at Royal Sumatera7:30 PM
Got off my bed earlier this morning, at 5am. that only happen in Sunday whether I have something to do. have planned with my friends to go to Selly grandma house at Royal Sumatera. Atika pick me up at 6.30am, we always out of schedule. haha nowadays teenager!
I don't remember what time was when we arrived. But when we arrived, the first we did is jogging. then Chelsea's shoes broke off so 3 of us back to home and that split us. and oh we were 8 here. Selly, Devi, Chelsea, Atika, Evelyn, Jasinta, Merlin and I.
After jogging we riding bicycle then swimming! horayyyy. And the 2nd time i rode bicycle i had so much fun before I fell from bicycle because racing then met the big hole. WHAT A DAMN! i got so many scars in my arm and knee. we also went to mart to buy snack.

Most of you know that I'm a fan of the blues and the history that surrounds it. One of my cigar box guitar friends is Keni Lee Burgess who, among other pursuits, is a street busker in NYC. Keni recently posted an audio/video number he made with some friends on YouTube and the photos he chose took me rushing back to summers I spent at my Uncle Johnny's grocery store in Columbia, SC.
Boswell's Grocery sat smack dab in the middle of Columbia's largest black neighborhoods. It was on the corner of Wheat and Lincoln Streets, both of which were nothing more than dusty dirt roads. The houses in the neighborhood were unpainted shotgun shacks with zero amenities. The people were poorer than the mosquitoes that made their evenings miserable.
Wheat ran along side the Boswell's and at the end of it sat a makeshift building thrown together from found materials. I don't know what it was used for during the week but on weekends it became the neighborhood juke joint and it came alive. I didn't know what a juke joint was, just that we kids weren't allowed near the place on Friday and Saturday evenings.
Armed with the knowledge of an adult I sure wish I could go back in time and see it all first hand and not from the pages of a history book.
I'm including an embed of Keni's video and a photo of a building he included that somewhat reminds me of the one at the end of Wheat Street. A sort of framed structure sided with used tin roofing, Royal Crown Cola signs, and anything else that might keep the people in and the weather out.

Top T.v series to watch this October
It's October 🙂 and we have our favourite TV series returning for new seasons. Now we present you with 4 worth seeing series for October.

Vampire Diaries
We still can't get over the cliffhanger of Season 5. Well, the
season 6 of Vampire Diaries premiered on the 2nd of October, 2014.
The new season has Damon and Bonnie bonding (in the land of the dead). Are we having a team Bonnie and Damon soon? We
also have Elena Gilbert, who lost her love, Damon Salvatore, taking witchy drugs to connect with Damon and then we have Stefan living a new life with a new girl…
We are excited and we have lots of questions on our minds like
'Will Elene reconnect with Stefan?' Would Damon and Bonnie return to the land of the living?
The new season of Scandal premiered on September 25 and
we are so ready for their action and plot twist. What is new
about Season 4? Well, Columbus Short is not a part of the fourth
A new trailer presented us with
Olivia Pope in a new apartment and, also with the President
trying to get in touch with her but for some reason; she is not
answering the call.
New action, new attitude, New
Characters… Yes!! We are excited… The third season of the series will be premiering on
October, 8, 2014.
We can't wait to get answers to questions like 'on whose side
will Thea Queen be'? – Oliver Queen or Malcom? We stumbled
across a short synopsis of season 3 from Zapzit. Read
Oliver believes he can finally have a private life and asks Felicity out on a date (They even share a kiss). But the second Oliver takes his eye off the ball; a deadly villain reappears in Starling city.
The Season four of the series premiered on September, 28, 2014. We can't wait to see
Victoria Grayson in action… Will Victoria Grayson control David
Clarke? Emily Thorne (played by Emily VanCamp) is now living in the Grayson mansion, Victoria
Grayson is stuck in a mental hospital for much of the first
episode, but we can't help but wonder where Emily got the
money to buy the Grayson mansion.

text: Hey ladies, After much experimentation (!), I wanted to recommend the leather care product that I've found to be best on my bags... J&M Leather Care makes leather soooo soft, like new again, and it buffs up so shiny... I tried AG and wasn't as happy w/ the results in terms of shininess (though it was really good for softness). Hope this helps!

Lets take a dip into the Jewish Princess mail bag. It's been forever since I've updated because I have a million other things to do that don't require humoring you. But, since I've been getting more and more requests to dip into my mail I thought I would make the attempt to share more. My version of giving to my people. Enjoy the show.
Princess Melissa,
This weekend, I got drunk and let an older man I have been talking with on the internet talk me into sneaking out and meeting him late Saturday night. It went way further than I had planned. Now I'm ashamed, worried someone saw and confused about how to respond to his texts. I know I will be punished for my sins by you when I tell you the details of this trashy late night tryst. I know I've talked about what if I end up swallowing a strangers load and what might happen. It finally happened and I know I'm doomed taking in that sinful seed of disgusting gay lust. Will you forgive me with an incredible humiliation that only you give to me. Punish me for the sinful whore that I am.
– Micha
Micha got exactly what was coming to him. If you're going to act like a filthy fuck pig for older Men than be the little fuck pig you know you are. I had Micha on webcam for me so I could monitor his texts, I told him to invite his older man older to come fuck his face and to tell him all he could crave was his cum and he promised to swallow him at his whim. This older man was retired so Micha really paid the ultimate slut price. Micha was swallowing multiple loads for the next week and of course he feels more filthy than ever and I just don't care.
Fart Fetish With The Submissive Office Idiot
Filed Under Blackmailed By Melissa, Cuckold, Douchebag Loser, Fart Fetish, Forced intoxication | Leave a Comment
I just got off with this fart fetish loser who was lusting for my Jewish ass. I ended up plucking a couple hundred dollars out of this fetish addict. I feel so much lighter after lighting this bitch up with my ass over the phone.
We work together in an office. You are bossy, bratty, spoiled, bitchy, and beautiful – an alpha-female. You are my boss, and I'm secretly in love with you.
Earlier this morning, you have decided to fire me with no explanation, for no reason other than you felt like it – it gives you a rush to have that power, and you never deny yourself anything that gives you pleasure, even though it ruins my life in this case.
At the end of the day, everyone has gone home except for the two of us. I come to your office and confess being in love with you. You make of fun of me, telling me that it's been obvious with the way I follow you around like a little puppy dog, doing whatever you tell me, even when it's not work-related. In desperation, I humilate myself further by offering to pay you money to let me kiss and lick your ass, and even eat everything that comes out of it when you're body is relaxed.
You of course make fun of me for being so pathetic, but you also like this idea because you get everything and I give up everything. You reach into my pants, cupping my balls with your hand, and you tell me that you'll accept my offer on three conditions: 1.) I sign a contract that I will give you a certain amount of money, regularly and for the rest of our lives, 2.) I am to beg for permission first every single time, and 3.) I am to thoroughly clean out your butt, inside and out, with my tongue. You are the Princess and I am going to pay to eat out your royal ass, even though you fired me for no reason.
In heated desperation, I sign whatever you put in front of me, without even reading it. You then tell me to sign a blank check and give it to you, which I do. I then strip naked and get on all fours at your feet to beg for permission to eat your butt. You tease me, saying things like "Do you want to eat that butt?" "Do you wanna' get that butt?" "Come get that butt!", like I'm your eager little puppy. I keep begging, until you finally put your bare butt in my face.
As I eat your puckered asshole and taste how delicious it is, I ask you to please fart in my mouth. Laughing, you tell me it will cost $20 per fart. I pull a wad of money out of pocket and peel off a $20-bill. Exasperated, you take the whole wad of money out of my hand and agree to feed me a violent torrent of your royal gas. I spend the night eating farts out of the asshole of the bitchy girl who fired me for no reason. As it should be.
Princess Melissa Makes You Pose For Sissy Selfies

Meet sissy Samantha isn't he fabulous in his selfie shots for me! I love sissy selfies and having my beloved sissy boys dress up for me looking like the worst drag sissy bois ever. Sissy Samantha has the best sissy fantasy, what a total sissy pervert loser!
I have a recurring fantasy about being part of a neighborhood chastity and sex club. The wives run it of course.
The husbands are in chastity for 2 weeks before the meetings. They meet at one of the houses for a few drinks. Then the men draw a bead from a jar.
The color of the bead specifies who and what. One bead is for oral with another wife. Giving and receiving. Another is for straight sex. The third is for anal sex. The fourth is for a three way with two women.
But I want the last bead. That pink bead is clean up duty. He has to stay in chastoty, dress as a sissy slut and eat all the cum from every couple. Then his ass is taken by the two from the third room.
Afterwards he has to stay in chastoty until the next meeting. For the first two weeks he's still on cleanup duty for anyone who asks.
I love that fantasy Princess Melissa so much.

More phone sex fan mail from the losers who call me. This phone sex fantasy email kinda totally grossed me out. I had to share this tidbit from the kingdom of phone sex fantasies. I never did the call with him because I found it way too repulsive to deal with. I suggested he seek someone less prissy then I am because that topic was so not fit for a Jewish Princess like me.
" You've been around me Your whole life. i watched You grow up and knew You were wrapping all the boys around Your little finger. once You graduated college You needed a place to stay, Your aunt(my Wife) suggested You stay with us. She was heading out of town for the summer initially anyway, she said something about having You taking care of me, keeping me out of trouble. once she was gone You confronted me. "uncle! you are a dirty pervert and I am going to help you be the sissy-slut you've always dreamed of."
"what?!" i asked incredulous, "where would You get that idea sweetie?"
You slapped me hard on the face and firmly grasped my balls, taking complete control of me. "I was on your computer last night uncle, I've seen your porn collection and the perverted sites that you visit. feminization, faggot sites, BBC's, cuckold porn. and well your wife warned me that you had a few quirks."
Sissy Ass Bitch Benji Role Play Humiliation

More adventures in phone sex land. Pathetic loser Benji and I did a really funny role play today I got to play the lovely Cindy and humiliated another one of my little sissy boys. Yes I made a little prissy sissy out of Benjy in front of a whole bunch of my virtual made up friends.
"I would like a role play where my younger girlfriend Cindy makes me cum harder than ever before by finger fucking my pretty ass. Her roommate, 5'7″ sandy haired Sarah works as a hostess at my restaurant. Like Cindy she is slender but has larger breasts and wider hips with a very small waist.
Cindy tells Sarah about how hard I came without even touching my cock. A couple of days later, Sarah sees me flirting with an old girlfriend at the restaurant. Sarah tells me that there is something I need to see in the old basement office that is now used for storage. Once down there, Sarah chastises me for flirting with nancy and then tells me that Cindy told her about me cumming for her finger. Cindy tells me that, if I don't take off my pants and bend over and show my pretty ass proudly, she will tell everyone that macho Benji likes it in his ass."
Benji really isn't macho and the truth is, he actually does like it in the ass and he wishes this was his reality.keep looking »

Steem 0.8.5: TAN: Making Your Dreams Reality
Thank you for coming to us in looking for "Steem 0.8.5" online. It should be hard to get more little increases (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the best way to read these Candlestick charts! And I discovered these two rules to be accurate: having modest increases is more profitable than trying to fight up to the peak. Most day traders follow Candlestick, therefore it is better to look at books than wait for order confirmation when you think the cost is going down. Secondly, there's more volatility and compensation in currencies that haven't made it to the profitability of sites like Coinwarz. The creation of sites has altered many lives, but there is always a concern when it comes to the security of sites. There are other people who have ill intentions who'll see what you are doing online. They could monitor your tendencies with time. Some of the things they can check online include seeing your online photos, what you post online and even track your fiscal transitions over time with an aim of stealing from you. Even if there are many solutions which have been executed, there is always risk due to third parties. For instance, when purchasing online using a credit card, you may be giving away lots of your private information to the third party. Additionally, there are transaction fees which make online payment expensive. You are able to run a search on the web. First learn, then models, indicators and most importantly practice looking at old charts and pick out trends. When you learn to keep a trading diary screenshots and your comment/forecast. Precisely what is the best way to get confident with charts IMHO. Oh certainly, and don't fool yourself into thinking that you get the uptrend will never decrease! Always will go down! You will discover that incremental profits are more reliable and profitable (most times) Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to explore possibilities for making substantial ammonts of money with various types of online marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to brave the cryptocurrency marketplaces.Bitcoin structure provides an instructive example of how one might make lots of money in the cryptocurrency marketplaces. Bitcoin is an extraordinary intellectual and technical achievement, and it has created an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But not many people understand that and pass up on very lucrative business models made available as a result of growing use of blockchain technology. It's definitely possible, but it must have the ability to understand opportunities regardless of market conduct. The market moves in relation to cost BTC … So even if it's in a BTC tendency down can make money by buying the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC. Sure, your purchasing power in DOLLARS may be lower, but as long as your purchasing power in BTC is still growing you'll be fine.
Steem 0.8.5 – Your Official Coin: The Affluence Network
Here is the coolest thing about cryptocurrencies; they don't physically exist everywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you examine a particular address for a wallet featuring a cryptocurrency, there is absolutely no digital information held in it, like in exactly the same way that the bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It really is nothing more than a representation of value, but there is absolutely no genuine tangible kind of that value. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be seized or immobilized or audited by the banks and the law. They do not have spending limits and withdrawal restrictions imposed on them. No one but the owner of the crypto wallet can decide how their wealth will be managed. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, The Affluence Network, and many others happen to be designed as a non-fiat currency. Put simply, its backers assert that there is "real" value, even through there isn't any physical representation of that value. The value climbs due to computing power, that is, is the lone way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU power via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a period of time that is worth an ever diminishing amount of currency or some type of wages so that you can ensure the deficit. Each coin consists of many smaller components. For Bitcoin, each unit is called a satoshi. Operations that take place during mining are exactly to authenticate other transactions, such that both creates and authenticates itself, a simple and elegant alternative, which will be among the appealing aspects of the coin. The person who has mined the coin holds the address, and transfers it to some value is provided by another address, which is a "wallet" file stored on a computer. The blockchain is where the public record of trades lives.
The fact that there is little evidence of any growth in the use of virtual money as a currency may be the reason there are minimal attempts to control it. The reason behind this could be just that the marketplace is too little for cryptocurrencies to warrant any regulatory attempt. Additionally it is possible the regulators just don't understand the technology and its consequences, awaiting any developments to act. In the event of the fully-functioning cryptocurrency, it might actually be dealt being a product. Supporters of cryptocurrencies announce this kind of personal money is not managed by way of a key banking system and is not therefore susceptible to the vagaries of its inflation. Because there are always a restricted quantity of goods, this coinis worth is founded on market forces, letting homeowners to business over cryptocurrency exchanges. When searching on the internet forSteem 0.8.5, there are many things to think about.
Steem 0.8.5: TAN – Your Coin for The Future
Click here to visit our home page and learn more about Steem 0.8.5. Anyone can become a Bitcoin miner running applications with specialized hardware. Mining applications listen for transmission trades on the peer-to-peer network and perform the appropriate jobs to process and support these trades. Bitcoin miners do this because they are able to earn transaction fees paid by users for quicker transaction processing, and new bitcoins in existence are under denominated formulas. Just a fraction of bitcoins issued so far can be found on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which means the price a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Lots of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This limits the variety of bitcoins that are truly circulating in the exchanges. In addition, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Hence, even the most diligent buyer could not purchase all existing bitcoins. This situation is not to suggest that markets usually are not vulnerable to price exploitation, yet there is certainly no requirement for big amounts of money to move market prices up or down. The slightest events on the planet market can affect the price of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency volatile. As one of the oldest forms of making money is in money lending, it really is a fact you could do this with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending sites now focus on business of Bitcoin, but I am certain there will be one or two who'll already have arrived in/nearby which will give other monies. Some sites are now outside: valves: these are sites where you fill in a captcha after a certain time period and are rewarded with a small amount of coins for that faucet. You can visit the www.cryptofunds.co site to locate some lists of tap into the money of your choice in the Knowledge Base section. Some sites of tap comprise: Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin marketplaces have very different dynamics. The new ones are constantly popping up which means they do not have lots of market data and historical outlook for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have fairly inferior liquidity as well. The best way to think of a sensible strategy and analyze it in the light of these complications? Cryptocurrency is freeing people to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in an identical way, but they also be a part of more sophisticated smart contracts. Multiple signatures enable a transaction to be supported by the network, but where a specific number of a defined group of people agree to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This allows innovative dispute arbitration services to be developed in the foreseeable future. These services could enable a third party to approve or reject a transaction in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment systems, the blockchain constantly leaves public proof that the transaction happened. This can be potentially used within an appeal against companies with deceptive practices. Bitcoin is the principal cryptocurrency of the internet: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, world-wide, and decentralized. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, there's no governments, banks, or every other regulatory agencies. As such, it is more immune to wild inflation and tainted banks. The advantages of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting cash online outweigh the protection and privacy threats. Security and privacy can easily be realized by simply being intelligent, and following some basic guidelines. You'dn't set your entire bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fixed by removing any identity of possession from the wallets and thereby keeping you anonymous. If you are looking for Steem 0.8.5, look no further than The Affluence Network.
Steem 0.8.5 – Building Wealth At Every Level: Affluence Network
Ethereum is an incredible cryptocurrency platform, nevertheless, if growth is too quickly, there may be some difficulties. If the platform is adopted fast, Ethereum requests could increase drastically, and at a rate that surpasses the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under a situation like this, the whole platform of Ethereum could become destabilized due to the increasing costs of running distributed applications. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Instability of demand for ether can result in an adverse change in the economical parameters of an Ethereum based business that may lead to business being unable to continue to run or to stop operation. You've probably noticed this often times where you typically distribute the great word about crypto. "It is not unpredictable? What happens if the cost accidents? " So far, many POS systems delivers free transformation of fiat, alleviating some matter, but before the volatility cryptocurrencies is addressed, most people is going to be reluctant to put on any. We must discover a way to struggle the volatility that is inherent in cryptocurrencies. The physical Internet backbone that carries information between the various nodes of the network is currently the work of several companies called Internet service providers (ISPs), including companies that provide long distance pipelines, occasionally at the international level, regional local pipe, which ultimately links in homes and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only happen through one of these ISPs, players like amount 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP manages its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private companies, and occasionally by Authorities, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to transfer messages across the network. Many ISPs have arrangements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and businesses who need to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network makes it possible for the info to flow without interruption, in the right area at the right time.
While none of these organizations "owns" the Internet together these companies decide how it works, and established rules and standards that everyone stays. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that's occurring to ascertain how things work and what happens if something bad happens. To get a domain name, for example, one needs permission from a Registrar, which has a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone for connecting to and with her. Concern over security dilemmas? A working group is formed to work on the problem and the solution developed and deployed is in the interest of most parties. If the Internet is down, you've got someone to phone to get it repaired. If the difficulty is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in place and service level agreements, which regulate the way in which these problems are resolved.
The benefit of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain isn't regulated by any centered business. No one can tell the miners to update, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that's something that as a dedicated supporter badge of honour, and is identical to the way the Internet works. But as you comprehend now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that regulate how it works current constitutional problems to an individual. Blockchain technology has none of that.

Diamonds by Rihanna ONLY 1:35 Excerpt on Myspace - Myspace
As I was listening to this song on Myspace, all of a sudden it stopped playing, and went on the the next track. I thought it was a glitch, but after looking at the playlist I see that only some of the songs are full length album versions.
I did not realize that some songs are just excerpts.
Listen to a 1:35 Excerpt of Diamonds by Rihanna on Myspace.

After about 3 months of avoiding my blog, I finally decided, while avoiding my daily responsibilities, to just hold my breath and return to take a look at the neglected landscape. When I signed in, I found the below pending comment on my dashboard:
I discovered your blog while googling about underachieving, and you have inspired me to go ahead with starting a blog. I didn't think people actually blogged like regular literature authors and always felt I lacked in edgy hipness, but after reading all of your poetic posts, I feel like I may have fellow anti- conformist bloggers to relate to after all. -Bessie Malt
I originally began writing a reply to your comment, Bessie, in the comment section where you're supposed to write replies to comments. But as is typical for me, my reply became longer and longer and I kept writing and couldn't cut off the spigot and had no desire to anyway. So I ultimately drafted a 683-word response and decided to post it as a blog entry in itself.
At any rate, I'm so glad I took an ADD-driven diversion from half-ass job searching to take a look at the blog that I've been neglecting in the first place because of chronic ADD. (And all of this is merely reflective of my underachiever complex.) You have no idea how much your feedback interjects the tiniest but most potent bit of meaning in my dejected day, and in my writing life—which, really, is the whole entire part of my life that has any meaning whatsoever. A reader out there read through my tedious rambling confessional dross and seems to "get" what I'm doing…Or, what I'd be doing more of if I weren't such a bum. More than that, she somehow finds my pseudo-literary diarrhea to be an inspiration for her own writing. (And also, I love how you presented me as a "nonconformist" rather than an underachiever.)
When I started this shitty blog, I felt compelled like you to follow the formula and use a lighthearted tone and be very very snappy and to the point; but that's just not me. I don't feel like I'm doing justice to my style or to all of the tortuous thoughts winding through my mind like invasive weeds when I try to write about my deep-seated and rootless sadness and alienation and isolation and confusion . . . and hunger. . . and all those other heavy melodramatic themes in the same snappy way someone would write about last night's Girls episode. So I gave up resisting and gave into my own writerly impulse to just write the way it feels good for me.
For the last several months, as you can see, my posts have become even more sporadic than they were to begin with. Consistent with the character of an unmotivated depressive who never finishes things, I've accumulated on my hard drive tons of half-written blog posts, undeveloped pseudo-essays, and journal entries that turned into blog entries that ultimately remained hidden in my journal. None of it ever made it my inconspicuous corner of the interwebs, either because I decided it was too ridiculous or embarrassing to post; or because I didn't review it after finishing it because I was afraid I would decide it's too ridiculous or embarrassing to post; or because I didn't ever write the last sentence of the last paragraph after I got up to make another cup of coffee and let the dog out.
But upon discovering your long-ignored, lone comment that's been sitting in my queue next to links to the websites of online pharmacies and SEO specialists and lots and lots of smut, I feel a tiny bit validated for ignoring the writing rules and doing whatever the fuck I want. Just to find out that my shit blog does actually speak to someone even though it may lack substance and reads like a purple prose nightmare is enough to rouse me—again, just a little—from the ever-present haze surrounding me. I've been struck with one of those ephemeral waves of clarity and inspiration that I get when I feel a runner's high after walking myself to death during one of my sanity walks, and I need to finish all that ridiculous half-written stuff on my hard drive before the feeling fades and I go back to feeling like shit as usual again.
So I want to thank you, Bessie, for leaving the most motivating comment at the most opportune time which spurred me out of the most recent of my recurrent lapses of my writing self. I really hope our small (like, 2 people) circle of nonconformist bloggers will be more vocal for now on.

Another great soprano passed away this week. Yesterday, French soprano, Regine Crespin, died of cancer in Paris. She was 80.
Just as Beverly Sills could be classified as an all-American singer. Crespin could be classified as the quintessential French singer, blending perfectly text and music into a beautiful synthesis.
Here is a perfect example of the French style as displayed by Regine Crespin, a 1964 performance of Gabriel Faure's beautiful song Soir (Evening). If you follow the subtitles, you can see how she gently shades the poetry of this beautiful song.
Here is a tribute to Mme. Crespin by Opera News, which is well worth the read:
This has certainly been a sad week for the opera world.

Tutorial: Using Generics To Implement KVO In Swift
One of the issues you'll notice when using Swift is that native key-value-observing is not available and only works with NSObject subclasses.
Swift is changing rapidly and a solution does appear to be on the roadmap for this issue. Until the solution arrives here's a tutorial from Krzysztof Zablocki illustrating a nice technique for implementing observable properties completely using Swift. This technique uses generics and what's really nice is that you can create the observable properties without affecting the rest of your code.
You can find the tutorial on the Merowing blog.
A playground demonstrating the technique can be found on Github here.

I am one of those people who can't remember what needs to be done unless it is written down. Therefore, I have about 4 to-do lists floating around at any one time. One for home, one for work, a grocery list, a Target list, an event planning list, etc. Unfortunately, the lists never seem to get shorter and they tend to get lost before they can do any good.
Well, I found a great site on-line called BackPack that has been helping me with my list problems. Basically, you can sign up for a free account that let's you create as many as 5 separate to-do lists at any one time. They can be accessed from any Internet terminal and has little check boxes for you to check stuff off as you get it done. You can even email stuff directly to a specific list from a blackberry or PDA if you are technically inclined (which I am not)!
In other news, we got the new rates for Caleb's daycare that go into affect next week. Was really hoping for a significant change so that we could put more towards debt payments. I should have known better. We went from paying $218/week to paying $213/week. Know we can almost afford to go out to eat once a month. Also, we found out that the cost for an infant for the next year will be $288/week which is more than we had planned on for sure.
All we can do is try even harder to get out of debt as quick as possible to free up a little more money for daycare payments. I am going to have to propose some pretty tough restrictions on spending if that is going to happen, though. Once again I have to be the bad guy...
Well, we were able to avoid having 3 separate repair people come to our house last night. I managed to fix the DirecTV ($0), Scott fixed the garbage disposal ($0), and then we both worked at fixing the weed whacker ($13 for parts). I figure we saved ourselves about $600 by repairing what we had instead of throwing it out and buying new.
Finally - something to help keep me organized!

August 30th, 2007 at 11:55 amI got some free software from
www.freewarefiles.com that is pretty good for keeping organized. The program I got is Chaos Manager and its works good. Its a to do list, calender and notebook sort of thing all combined. They have a number of other similar ones too but I prefered the Chaos Manager out of what i've tried.
August 30th, 2007 at 02:12 pmWay to go on the DIY!
Aleta Says:
August 30th, 2007 at 02:16 pmCongratulations on the DIY. There's nothing like being able to fix something that someone elde would charge bookoo dollars for. Thank goodness for the internet. I get alot of information there.
August 30th, 2007 at 02:25 pmWhat kind of daycare are you using? Those prices are outrageous. Have you looked around and compared pricing?
Broken Arrow
August 30th, 2007 at 03:30 pmHaha, I am one of those people that have to write down everything too. Thank goodness for my PDA.
I agree that Backpack is very good, especially for those who want to coordinate their business-related... business online.
If you prefer outlines, I like the way www.loosestitch.com is shaping up so far. Check it out!
August 30th, 2007 at 06:57 pmYeah, we were really happy to get everything fixed ourselves. It sure saves a lot of money!
Unfortunately, those are the going rates for daycare in this area. It is truly outrageous and there is nothing we can do about it. The cost of daycare is the reason that most people with more than 1 child around here have one parent who stays home full time. We just aren't willing to do that at this point.
I will have to check out loosestitch. That sounds interesting....
Aleta Says:
August 31st, 2007 at 08:53 amDo you have any universities near you. They have excellent day care programs and are reasonable. They also have classes for new Mommies. Check around.
August 31st, 2007 at 10:24 amYup, we have several universities that have great dayare....for university employees only. And then they have a waiting list! One of the guys I work with was unable to get his son into UW care and his wife is a tenured professor. Even in-home, unlicensed care is $200 a week. I would rather pay a little more and have him in a pre-school setting than allowed to watch TV all day as "education" (that was the situation we came from last year).
October 25th, 2007 at 12:33 pmCongrats on fixing it yourself!

Western Australia's budget will be handed down a week later than originally scheduled to include up-to-date estimates of the state's GST payments.
Treasurer Mike Nahan said on Wednesday May 14 was the earliest date available for the state government to have confidence it could include accurate GST figures in its 2015-16 budget papers.
Dr Nahan said the push back was also due to the delayed release of the Commonwealth Grants Commission's recommended GST distribution, which will be available to all state treasurers on April 9 instead of early March as usual.
The federal budget will be handed down on May 12.
Dr Nahan said he would discuss WA's GST payments with federal treasurer Joe Hockey in Canberra on March 18.

In a nutshell, this year's Nevada Day was solid one. Part of what made it a good experience was knowing my parade limits. It's at about float #100. I do my two hours among the throng of bearded men and brave women then I get out. I try to stay long enough to see the Burning Man floats.
Though I am not a Burning Man fan, I do find their floats to be the most interesting and oftentimes the highlight of the parade. Other parade highlights this year included our beloved governor walking with the police with a Vegas Strong# banner, the Wild Horse supporters, the beard contests and the brothel float (uniquely Nevada). This float is often accompanied by a plain-looking lady with stringy gray hair walking down one side of the parade route with a sign condemning the brothels and warning of troubled times ahead. I'll let you guess which one is the crowd favorite. However, I've got to hand to it the doomsday lady she's gives it 110%. You can't fault her for that.
The Dodgers
It was painful to see the Dodgers lose, but I didn't cry this time. It was a great series and it was difficult to root against the Astros. They have a great offense and plus there was that whole Hurricane Harvey thing going on.
Music Suggestions
1. Ride the River by J.J. Cale and Eric Clapton
2. L'amour by Karim Quellet
3. Police & Thieves by The Clash
4. Light Flight by Pentangle
5. The Sons of Katie Elder by 101 String Orchestra

1. 1 pint of milk
2. 2 cups grated green corn
3. a little salt

5. 1 teaspoonful of baking powder
6. Flour sufficient to make a batter to fry on the griddle.

So a week ago I got an email from a website called K5 Learning to check out their website for FREE for 6 weeks with one of my students and write a review of the site.
I was pretty psyched to do it. I see bloggers sharing the things they get asked to review all the time and so this made me feel like a "real" blogger.
I am starting it today with one of peanuts and before I start it I needed to put this little blurb on my blog.
K5 Learning has an online reading and math program for kindergarten to grade 5 students. I've been given a 6 week free trial to test and write a review of their program. If you are a blogger, you may want to check out their open invitation to write an online learning review of their program. - See more at: http://www.k5learning.com/review-k5?sid=20520#sthash.9iY93nx5.dpuf
I am excited to see how it works out.
Enjoy your Wednesday friends. I think I may ACTUALLY have a 5 for Friday post in the works! Craziness I know!

That following Friday, the doctor called me to ask how I was doing and to tell me that my PSA at the end of the day was 1.25, further proof of the erratic nature of the PSA readings. He said that they had not yet completed their analysis of the scans and would get back to me as soon as they had. That was a week ago and I haven't heard back from them yet. I have a follow up scheduled for the day after Memorial Day so we'll see what they have to say then.
I had visited my Oncologist the Thursday before all of this and he didn't seem overly concerned by all of it. He stated that the PSA trend was more important than any single value and that he medicine used in this trial is what he would probably put me on if my current treatment stopped working, but at this point there isn't any evidence of that. He ordered his own PSA test that day, but I haven't heard the results from him yet. I saw my pain management doctor that same day and he felt that I'm doing well overall. He asked if the Meloxicam was helping and I stated that I really couldn't tell, so he switched it out with Etodolac and asked me to let him know if that resulted in any change. He did take a quick look at the report from the long MRI that I had the previous Friday and was concerned that it seemed to indicate a spread but asked me to speak to the radiation oncologist about it. He said that it didn't make sense and seemed to run contra to all other signs and symptoms which have all indicated progress. I have an appointement with the radiation oncologist next week, so I'll hopefully know more then.
I don't know if the change to Etodolac made the difference or not, but I've felt pretty good this week. I've only had to take one or two Vocodin per day, usually first thing in the morning and maybe one on the way to bed. I managed to spend some time working in the yard all weekend and made it to the office 4 days this week, all without feeling any negative after affects. The only reason I didn't go in all 5 days was that Thursday I had a series of phone calls all day that started fairly early. Had I gone in, I would have been holed up in my office with the door shut most of the day on the phone anyway, so there wasn't much reason to drive in. Instead I holed myself up in the bedroom all day while I sat on those calls. Otherwise I would have made it a whole week in the office, a pretty significant milestone. I'm on vacation next week, taking a staycation. Assuming the weather cooperates and all goes well, I hope to clean out the garage, and perhaps my shop as well as get a number of tasks done in the yard. This week has made me optomistic about my chances for success in those endeavors. Hopefully the good feelings that I've had this week will carry over into next.

To all my younger readers, take care of your back. You'll appreciate the advice when you're an old lady like me. Due to assorted health issues I can't really do aerobic exercise so I've been doing yoga for a long time. In fact, I started it before the health issues! And yet, damn, my back. I finally started private yoga lessons with a professional teacher/trainer. The new routines have been great!
The horrible truth is, when it comes to our bodies, everything is connected. It took a professional yoga instructor to help me understand that and modify my routines. For you, could I suggest "The Yoga Back Book: The Natural Solution to Freedom From Pain" by Stella Weller?
Weller's book is an amazing resource. She really explains to you the components of the back and how they work. No stone is left unturned as Weller discusses diet, ergonomics, posture, sleep, and of course yoga. The yoga poses are pretty basic and should be doable by beginners. That said, the more advanced practioner will recognize the importance of these cornerstone poses.
I have to say, I would readily recommend "The Yoga Back Book" to anyone who has back pain issues but also to any beginning yoga practioners.

Conflate: to combine two thoughts or ideas into a whole or singular form. As in: "Don't conflate gossip with real news"
And it is with that definition, we introduce another Bryan "Lyin' Fissure" Fischer tweet. In this tweet, Fischer conflates the notion of being petty with racism. Backgrounder: during a televised debate between Democrat Ralph Northam and Republican E.W. Jackson, Northam (who is white) refused, at the end of the debate, to shake hands with Jackson (who is black). Now we at the TTM find Northam's refusal to shake hands with Jackson to be petty, rude and misguided........but we don't find it racist. Fact is, Northam can't stand Jackson as a person and a politician, many people can't. That said, Fischer and others on the right, have jumped onto this lack of courtesy and are gleefully conflating the slight into a full on act of racist hatred. The problem, of course, is that Northam is well known and liked by the African American community in Virginia. He is known for his openness and support of civil rights throughout his state. Unfortunately, he let his distaste for his republican opponents views on equality rights and Christian dominionism to cloud his better judgment and, by doing so, opened himself up to accusations and conflating tweets.
As for Fischer, well......anything to obfuscate and distract. Tomorrow, Virginians will go to the polls and, if all goes well, Terry McAullife will be Governor and Ralph Northam will be Lt. Governor. That wish stated, it is again unfortunate that Northam acted in a manner more akin to petulance than proper.
Original tweet
That's right Bryan, it's racism because anything to distract people from the truth.
end of line......

Casual Day – when what you wear says the most about you
Deciding what to wear to work can be really stressful – but for one day of the year, the National Council of and for Persons with Disabilities is going to make it easy for you. On the first of September 2017, people across South Africa will demonstrate their commitment to inclusivity and equity – just by buying a Casual Day sticker and advertising their support for human rights for all.
The theme for this year's Casual Day – observed on the first Friday of September – is "Celebrate Diversity with Persons with Disabilities".
The idea behind the theme is to use the joy and celebration of Casual Day to help the whole nation to focus on the need for every individual to work to create an inclusive and equitable society.
The Casual Day sticker is not just a sticker – it is an entry to becoming part of a puzzle of thousands of active South African citizens committed to the empowerment and upliftment of persons with disabilities.
The colour for 2017 is a vibrant, grassy green – the colour of new life, renewal, vitality and harmony. Fresh green is also associated with Springtime which is when the big event happens.
So, if it's gorgeous or if it's growing or even if it's glowing – as long as it's green and makes the world know who you are, what you wear on Casual Day affirms your commitment to celebrating our diverse nation in all its facets!
You don't have to wait until September to start making a difference and showing you care.
You can begin in May which is designated as Diversity Month by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization and is also Worker's Month. This is a perfect time to begin wearing your Casual Day golf shirt to work every Friday in the build up to the big day in September.
Therina Wentzel, National Director of the National Council of and for Persons with Disabilities (NCPD), who have run Casual Day for 22 years, said the theme was chosen because while the principles enshrined in the Constitution should mean that South Africa leads the world in the protection of persons with disabilities, the principles are not a reality for many of the 4.3 million South Africans with disabilities.
"Millions of persons with disabilities in South Africa cannot find jobs, cannot get educated, cannot access the health care they need. With an inclusive approach from every citizen this picture can change to one where every South African, including persons with disabilities is able to find expression for their talents, be able to fulfill their potential and share in the success that comes with creating an equitable society."
"Mahatma Gandhi said that you can judge a society by how it treats its most vulnerable members. If that is the measure by which South Africa is judged, we are failing miserably. It is time to move from words to actions, and actions begin with the individual," she says.
Adds Wentzel: "We urgently need to change the public view on disability rights. The rights of people with disabilities are human rights, not special rights. That's why the theme for Casual Day this year is 'Celebrate Diversity with Persons with Disabilities'. It is only when we actively work to recognise persons with disabilities as a part of our broader social diversity that we will begin to create the type of society that former President Nelson Mandela envisaged and that we are striving for in South Africa."
"Let's prove that South Africa is the rainbow nation that two of the country's shining lights, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Nelson Mandela, called us. On Casual Day and even before then, we urge South Africans to come together and celebrate our diversity," says Wentzel.
