Still, our Church is wise to go slow in evaluating alleged mystics. Consider, for example, the mystical deceptions of Magdalena de la Cruz. I wrote about this amazing, sixteenth century Spanish nun in The Rise, my work of historical Catholic fiction. But a more detailed biography was highlighted in a recent link at SpiritDaily.com found HERE.
Magdalena was renowned, from childhood, for her incredible piety and her reports of mystical visits from a beautiful, dark-haired young man (Jesus?) since the age of five. Through the years, she remained devout and became a Franciscan nun, who was eventually elevated to abbess of her convent.
Those details, however, pale in comparison to the other mystical circumstances of her life. She bore the stigmata, lived on nothing but the Eucharist, had the gift of bi-location, was seen elevating, revealed accurate prophecies, and healed the lame and mute. Still, there were more surprises. In 1518, on the Feast of the Annunciation, she became pregnant with what she claimed would be the second birth of Jesus Christ. The bishop ordered an investigation which determined that she was, in fact, still a virgin and with child.
When the birth neared, Magdalena claimed that her Guardian Angel wanted her to deliver the baby alone. So a house was prepared for her and everyone prayed for a glorious outcome. On Christmas night, at midnight, she claimed that she gave birth to the Savior but that he had disappeared by morning.
Believers, throughout Europe, were amazed at the continuing reports of miracles from this "living saint." However, as she gained greater public admiration, she started to change the rules of her convent, instilling fear in her sisters. Personal mortifications, optional in the past, became more severe and more public. She claimed that St. Francis, the founder of her Order, dispensed her from Confession and she liberalized Confession for her fellow nuns, eliminating the privacy screen in the Confessional. She also eliminated fasting on Fridays in the abbey. So the warning signs began to accumulate and investigations ensued.
During one of her ecstasies, she was stabbed with a needle and exhibited no pain -- a mark of authenticity. However, when the needle was dipped in holy water, she displayed signs of demonic possession.
Then, after a time, she became deathly ill and finally chose to unburden herself through Confession.
She revealed that demons named Balban and Patorrio, were responsible for her apparent miracles. In fact, she admitted that she had sold her soul to the devil and that, together, they had deceived everyone for 40 years. In the end, however, Satan was not the victor. She repented and, just like her namesake, lived a holy life for the rest of her days.
Perhaps, Church officials detect demonic influence not from the visionaries, this time, but from another unwitting ally. Though I am not drawing any conclusions here, I simply want to present to you a sworn statement that casts severe doubt on the impartiality of the Bishop of Mostar/Duvno. It is a letter that I find hard to ignore.
The sworn statement alleges the following:
- that the writer and a priest were invited to dine with the bishop in 1998;
- that the discussion, during dinner, included the apparitions of Fatima and Lourdes, after which the bishop said "he did not believe in any apparitions;"
- that when the priest mentioned Medjugorje, "It was as if he lit a fuse on a bomb -- the look of rage on the bishop's face, he foamed at the mouth, became completely incoherent, jumped up from the table and left the room. The bishop acted as if he was possessed."
With Christian humility, the visionaries continue to withstand the slings and arrows of outrageous criticism.
I am reminded of a description that Randall Sullivan used in his great book, The Miracle Detective. He said that the visionaries don't get upset and argue with people who don't believe or mock them. Just like mailmen, they just deliver the messages. It is up to you to read your mail.
So, just as Satan knows how to bring credit to lies, isn't it possible that he also works hard to discredit truth?
Of course it is.

Summary of Article: Due to climate change, and the constant flow of chemicals from local farms and coastal sediment into the waters that wash over Australia's Great Barrier Reef, large threats have been placed on the reef itself and the many biodiverse organisms and species that inhabit it. In late November of 2016, scientists from the ARC Center of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies reported that during the summer of 2016, the reef had suffered the worst coral bleaching and die-off ever recorded. Due to the atrocity that it faced that summer, it was left with stretches of its northern reaches dead after the coral was bathed in warm summer waters.
In recent updates from Queensland's environment minister, Steven Miles, it was stated that of 151 planned solutions, including the limiting of sediment and chemical runoff from farms and the better management of starfish predators, 32 are completed and 103 have begun or are about to. Ian Chubb, former chief scientist of Australia and current chairman of an independent panel on the reef, recently warned that climate change is what poses the most significant threat to the Great Barrier Reef. "The major impacts on the reef will most likely result from the long-term release of substantial quantities of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere," Chubb wrote.
The Queensland and federal government have stated that halting nitrogen runoff from farms and sediment that leaches into the ocean will allow for improvements in the water quality and allow the reef to better survive and withstand the impacts of climate change. It is important to begin saving the reef now, since "virtually all of the relevant science indicates the Great Barrier Reef is in decline." The Australian government ratified the Paris Agreement on climate change in early November 2016. The target is to cut greenhouse gas emissions to between 26% and 28% of 2005 levels by 2030. However, environmentalists say the development of new coal mines exposes the government's lack of commitment to halting global warming.
Analysis of Article: The impacts, both good and bad, that humans have caused to the environment and its many ecosystems, has led to changes in how they function and how well or poorly they thrive. Due to climate change, the increase in sediment in waterways and oceans, and the addition of various chemicals to aquatic ecosystems, environments such as the Great Barrier Reef have seen declines itself and in the life that inhabits it. Scientists have recently reported that climate change poses the most significant threat to the Great Barrier Reef. The human population is at fault for this issue, so it is important that change is sought to fix and reverse the changes.
Coming up with solutions such as limiting the amount of sediment and chemical runoff from farms, and better manage predators such as starfish in the Great Barrier Reef can better the alterations that have already been brought upon the ecosystem. By having countries make and enforce laws that regulate what goes in and out of the Reef, and how it is used by the human population, less of a human footprint will be left. Countries who join treaties and agreements, such as the Paris Agreement, are important because this enforces regulation of the environment at the highest levels, and all people and corporations must abide by them.
My Big "Takeaway": The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest coral reef in existence, and humans are responsible for its downfall. As people of science, it is important that we recognize the damage and threats we are causing to the environment we inhabit and make efforts to fix the problems that we have created for ourselves and the ecosystems that we coexist with. Due to the increase of chemicals finding their way into our oceans, sediment piling up quickly in large bodies of water, and the presence of a rising global climate, many ecosystems around the world have begun to deteriorate. This has posed a threat and become an issue because of the many functions these ecosystems serve, such as housing thousands of diverse organisms and providing humans with resources.
As seen with the Great Barrier Reef, it is essential that the human population takes steps towards reversing the harmful effects that have been caused. By enforcing regulations and making law at the government level, steps towards change are possible. Agreements such as the Paris Agreement encourage countries and societies to band together and work towards achieving their goals to save the environment.

Young people came together at a recent awards ceremony ESPY Awards-2005, where Sharapova as the best tennis player in the world last year. Russian beauty does not hide that she was very pleasant company of such prominent guy, and besides, the best tennis of the United States.After the ceremony, figurines, Russian has been invited to a party "Playboy", which is traditionally held in the mansion of founder Hugh Hefner's magazine. A memorable evening was not without amusing situations.We've got some new stats for you this year, courtesy of IBM. According to the Wimbledon weather man it'll be raining by tomorrow. Though Rodionova helps by throwing in a mixture of unforced errors. But Rodionova responds in kind, slapping a tame forehand into the net. After shin-gate, the Argentinian has lost 6-4, 7-6, 6-2 to Janko Tipsarevic. Second set: *Sharapova 6-2, 3-1 Rodionova Sharapova is dealing with Rodionova's second serve with disdain, and also manages to throw in some touch as well, with a lovely cross-court drop shot. Rodionova has a Murray-style rant to herself, before trudging back to her chair.They've been looking at the keys to this match, which you can access via their Slam Tracker. This is usually the time when I'd describe the players' garish outfits. First set: Sharapova 1-0 Rodionova* (*denotes next server)Sharapova opted not to play a warm-up tournament on grass following her French Open win, not that you'd know it the way she starts here. Already she's struggling with the depth and power of Sharapova's shots. Exasperated, the Australian raises her arms to the skies. The Australian's not known for her level-headedness at the best of times, let alone when she's being outclassed, outpowered and outmanoeuvred by the world No1.And this is an all-Russian clash of sorts; Rodionova was born and grew up in Russia, although she now represents Australia. The five-times champion looked a shadow of her former self in a 6-1, 6-3 defeat to Elena Vesnina. But I think that's the beauty of tennis, there's so much out there to achieve. Second set: *Sharapova 6-2, 1-1 Rodionova Rodionova holds to 15, as my computer freezes and the multi-coloured umbrella of doom swirls in front of my eyes. Second set: Sharapova 6-2, 2-1 Rodionova*Normal game-by-game service resumes, and normal Sharapova service resumes too, as she holds to love. A barrage of artillery from Sharapova follows, and she takes the break by burying a forehand smash.Sharapova hasn't lost a set in her four previous encounters against Rodionova, while Rodionova is 0-18 against top-10 ranked opponents. It always seems like it's back to back, so that's nothing really new." Pre-match stat attack. Meanwhile, the Queen's rebel, David Nalbandian, has gone out. Second set: Sharapova 6-2, 4-1 Rodionova*15-0, 30-0, 40-0, game.Grigor certainly likes the spotlight but he seems to be more comfortable kissing French male tennis players like Jeremy Chardy and Gael Monfils. As for Sharapova I feel sorry for her Grigor is obviously her gay BFF. Just overheard a rep for Sharapova passing on details of their relationship.... Sharapova is ready to announce it and above all else wants the press to know that he is a "hottie" - oh, and a new Sharapova line of clothing out before Aus Open, apparently.
But both always insisted they were just friends, and they were never seen together again publicly after Wimbledon. They were pictured at a players' party in Montreal.
I think he and Serena would come off better as lovers than he and Maria.
I honestly do not believe that Grigor is straight I think he's gay or bisexual.
Sharapova also sat and watched Roddick play poker for 3 hours (3 hours! They even shared a court to warm-up during the US Open. The Verdict: Still a virgin The scariest dad in the world reportedly had Maria playing tennis six hours a day as a kid.
But while Sharapova didn't exactly deny the dating rumors, Roddick flatly said " But the rumor from Roddick's entourage is that this denial was just a cover. When they supposedly broke up a year later, Levine is said to have told the Moscow newspaper The Exile that Sharapova was terrible in bed. Her fellow Bolletieri Tennis Academy students say she never even looked at a boy let alone dated one. Yuri is insane and reportedly has ties to the mafia.
Besides her dad and her trainers, Sharapova has only had one male sit in her box to watch her play -- ever.

It's easy to forget that Ryan Kalish is just 29 years old.
It's easy to forget that, prior to injury after injury after injury that's derailed his career time after time, Kalish was once one of the biggest prospects in all of baseball.
It is, perhaps, easy to forget that even after over a half-dozen operations, he still got back to the big leagues in less than month with the Chicago Cubs in 2016.
Perhaps you've forgotten about Ryan Kalish all together, since he hasn't played on American soil in 21 months.
But do not forget, not for a second, where Kalish grew up. Born in the Northridge neighborhood of Los Angeles, Kalish made a name for himself at Red Bank Catholic High School.
Ryan Kalish grew up in New Jersey. Set to make another memorable comeback attempt, there isn't any surgery that can take that out of him.
"The thing about Jersey is I feel like it's a very hard-nosed area, especially sports-wise," he told MyCentralJersey.com in a lengthy phone conversation.
"People are very tough in the area, so you know you're getting the best out of pretty much everyone. Obviously, the density in population, in my opinion, increases the level of competition by a ton. If you don't work in New Jersey, you're not going to rise. You see more and more people coming out of Jersey. If you're not willing to work, you're going to be in trouble, and I really am thankful for that. Everybody works hard at these levels, but I just feel like that simple east coast 'I'm here to work" mentality is a really big part of being good at baseball."
Kalish won't be authoring his latest comeback story in New Jersey — he's instead signed a deal with the Atlantic League's New Britain Bees, the Liberty Division rival of the Somerset Patriots, who also expressed interest — but is headed back home for six weeks after completing workouts in California.
"At the moment, I'm in LA, but I'm heading up to Northern California for a little bit to hit with my best buddy Lars Anderson and another guy named Gary Malec; they started a baseball bat company together called Birdman Bats," Kalish said.
"It's like a big family of baseball guys, and we're going to get out there every day and hit and run around. For the six weeks leading up to right before the season, I'm actually going to end up in New Jersey, which is where I grew up. I'm going to head back there and get ready for the season, I think it makes sense to get sort of nested on the east coast for a while before the season starts. I'll be in Red Bank. I'll probably live in Sea Bright, because that just seems like where the best rentals are right now for me, but it's all very familiar territory."
Having made a name for himself not far from there, Kalish was taken in the ninth round of the MLB Draft by the Boston Red Sox in 2006 and made his big league debut in July of 2010.
It was to be the beginning of his time as one of the cornerstones of the franchise.
Instead, it was the start of a rocky path that saw him sidelined with no fewer than eight surgeries prior to his latest stint in The Show with the Cubs just two years ago.
"At this point, I'm not frustrated anymore," said Kalish of losing time to injuries.
"I was frustrated, especially during the first three or four years of (missing) time. But eventually, you just have to kind of make peace with what's happened. For me, I don't know, maybe I wouldn't have been a solid human being if everything had went smoothly. I'm not looking back, I don't feel those feelings anymore. That's the old me."
Of course, those injuries have taken their toll. The laid-back outfielder would be lying if he said retirement hadn't crossed his mind, especially after having to undergo further knee operations in 2016 one year after missing the entire season recovering from a microfracture procedure.
"I said at that moment, I think that was the first time after those two surgeries where I said if I get hurt again, I'm probably done," he said.
"With what happened in 2016, even with the small amount of time I played, I made it back to the big leagues after less than a month in Triple-A. Once that happened and I got that taste again of making it to the highest level, I was like, 'I can't quit, that's ridiculous.' It would be one thing if I was terrible. The work is still going in…it's not like I'm just going to show up and hit, because it's not that easy. It doesn't matter what level you're at, hitting a live pitcher is something you can't replicate. Getting back out there and seeing more of that is exactly what I need."
And the Atlantic League is where Kalish will do just that. He felt a connection with new Bees manager Wally Backman, and enjoyed the familiarity that playing in that region gave him.
"Wally was interested, and we had such an amazing chat," Kalish said. "I've always heard such good things from a lot of people about him, so I was really excited about that. New Britain's so close to Boston and Pawtucket and everything, and I've spent so much time out there and played at that stadium in Double-A, so I'm real excited."
Kalish, who had actually signed with the American Association's Sioux City Explorers in 2016 but never actually played a game for them before accepting an offer from the Cubs, joked that the more he plays baseball, the more he knows that he doesn't know anything. But he is familiar with independent baseball, acknowledging that "guys in this league are fighting to keep their careers alive."
The six foot, 215-pounder will start the fight in as good of physical condition as can be expected, having already tested the waters with short stints overseas this winter.
"That's the best part about it, I feel really good," he said.
"There was an adjustment period, and there always is. I've had so many surgeries at this point, that I kind of know that I'm going to feel some stuff when I first get back into it. As it keeps going and going and everything mends, I start feeling better and better. That's what I feel like happened through Australia and Puerto Rico for me. Obviously, I would have loved to have played better for those two teams, but I had 20 months off from seeing live pitching before that moment. Before that, I'd played for five months and missed 15 months before that. You're looking at a long period of time off from live pitching, so I'm excited to continue that fight up in New Britain."
For many players who've been through what he has, a commitment to only a few weeks of playing in the Atlantic League would hardly be unprecedented.
But it's clear that even though he's left New Jersey, New Jersey hasn't left Ryan Kalish. He's not giving up that easily, not just yet.
"I think it's a mix. I honestly think a year playing indy ball and maybe another round of winter ball, but at that point, if I'm not seeing the type of progression that I want to be seeing, I think I would feel totally cool walking away from the game," he said.
"But that's just my overall thought. Plans change. I'm not really sure exactly what will happen. But in a year from now, I'm going to have a really good idea of where things are headed. I have a lot of things I want to do in my life after the game, but I feel personally after 70 at-bats (overseas) and not really playing that well after such a long time off…sometimes I feel like I want to walk away, but I don't want to lay my head down in two years and say, 'I just did all that for 70 at-bats and just walked away?' That would be stupid. There's a lot of mix there, and there's really no telling what will happen."

United Nations University for Peace
The United Nations mandated University for Peace (UPEACE) was created in December 1980. The headquarters of the UPEACE system are in Costa Rica, the country that initiated the process for the establishment of the University. UPEACE activities include: teaching, research, distance learning, and outreach.
The vision of the University of Peace is to be a forward-thinking, transformational, and inspirational educational institution dedicated to the goals of quality teaching, research, and serving humanity to build a more peaceful world.
Established as a Treaty Organization with its own charter in an international agreement adopted by the General Assembly in resolution 35/55 of the 5th of December, 198, the University for Peace has the mission:
"to provide humanity with an international institution of higher education for peace and with the aim of promoting among all human beings the spirit of understanding, tolerance and peaceful coexistence, to stimulate cooperation among peoples and to help lessen obstacles and threats to world peace and progress, in keeping with the noble aspirations proclaimed in the Charter of the United Nations."
The wider mission of the University should be seen in the context of the worldwide peace and security objectives of the United Nations. The central importance of education, training, and research in all their aspects to build the foundations of peace and progress and to reduce the prejudice and hatred on which violence, conflict, and terrorism are based is increasingly recognized.
The Charter of the University calls for UPEACE "to contribute to the great universal task of educating for peace by engaging in teaching, research, post-graduate training and dissemination of knowledge fundamental to the full development of the human person and societies through the interdisciplinary study of all matters related to peace."
Funding of UPEACE programs comes from the support of a number of donor governments, foundations, and institutions who believe in the mission of the University. Fundraising for an endowment fund is in progress.
The vision of UPEACE is to become a network of collaborating UPEACE centers and activities in different regions, guided from its headquarters in Costa Rica, and cooperating with a large number of universities, NGOs, and other partners on education and research for peace.
UPEACE offers many academic courses like Master's Degree Programs in Peace and Conflict Studies from all parts of the world, students receive a high-quality education in a unique atmosphere with a focus on multicultural perspectives, theory, and practical applications.

The company will set up a research & development (R&D) centre in Maharashtra.
The $77 million company, which has been operating in the sub-continent and six other countries through its wholly owned subsidiary Fluent India Pvt Ltd (FIPL), will invest at least Rs 25 crore more during the next one year in its upcoming R&D centre in Pune.
The company had invested Rs 30 crore in India in the last fiscal year. The parent company is now gearing up to go public shortly.
Ferit Boysan, president and chief operating officer of Fluent Inc, said, We will make India our second major hub next to our headquarters in New Hampshire in the US in the next five years. Our activities in this potential market has gained momentum only very recently and the revenues coming in from our Indian operations are not enough to expand our activities in this important market. So we have decided to keep investing in India through our parent company.
The company will invest Rs 10 crore in the construction of the centre, while the equipment will cost around Rs 15-20 crore.
The cumulative investment in this centre may exceed Rs 25 crore, said Ferit. The centre will create next-generation software in the CFD segment, he said.
As its operations in India and the six other countries through FPIL has witnessed an impressive 80 per cent growth during the last one year, Fluent Inc is now aiming to register total sales of over $100 million in the current fiscal year.
FPIL had contributed around Rs 8 crore to the total global turnover of Fluent Inc during the last fiscal year.
The company expects a turnover of Rs 10 crore by the end of the current fiscal year.
As part of our business strategy in India, FPIL will continue to focus on Indian defence and state-owned laboratories as this sector has been in the forefront of adopting cutting edge technologies such as CFD. Computer aided engineering , particularly CFD, is gaining relevance in India. Indian industry is beginning to recognise the advantage that such technology gives them in the face of global competition. We expect that in future, CFD technology will become a catalyst for shifting engineering design work to India, said Dipankar Choudhury, chief technology officer of Fluent Inc.
FIPL, which is holding over 50 per cent market share in the Indian CFD market, has Tata Steel, GE India, Steel Authority of India Ltd, Indian Oil Corporation and Tata Consulting Services as its customers.
We have recently tied up with premier educational institutions in the country including IISC, Bangalore, BITS Pilani and Jadavpur University and the IITs. We are now working more on creating awareness among the professionals in India about CFD. Tie-ups with these premier institutions will help us achieving this, Choudhury said.

Your nephew Johnny will kill for real if he doesn't get his hands on the latest in genocidal entertainment for his PlayStation. Being the dutiful aunt or uncle that you are (which, of course, gives you the freedom to buy the kind of electronic candy that Mom and Dad refuse to shell out for), it's your job to save the day. But where does one find Duke Nukem (or whatever) and its ilk? Theresa Duncan, Manhattan-based creator of wildly popular games like Chop Suey, says that she's more than willing to fight her way through the crowds of Times Square to peruse the "excellent selection" at the Virgin Megastore (1540 Broadway, at 45th Street; 921-1020), which boasts more than 1,600 game titles in stock. Just don't tell Li'l Johnny about it.

Online dating is a remarkable way to meet people; however it also comes with likely downright peculiar situations. So if you are considering signing up on an online dating site, always remember to make safety your number one priority. You can also search out for reputable online dating sites from online dating sites reviews listed out on google, to know which one best suits you.
Online dating safety is something you must be concerned about. At datingtolove.com, we take safety very seriously and we will constantly be sharing with you safety precautions to help you feel safe and enjoy your online dating experience.
I remember few years ago when online dating was considered a taboo that no one was ever going to admit doing it. However in recent times it is now regarded as an ideal way to meet your future betrothed.
Obviously the net is doing something right, though there are drawbacks. Online dating gives room to impending stalkers, liars, and downright shady people who are out for all sorts of negative activities. This is also true of traditional dating; however it's easier to hide behind a computer screen, performing all forms of despicable things.
You don't have to be scared of online dating sites rather you should be on the lookout when meeting with strangers on the net.
If for any reason, you have been thinking of giving online dating a trial but aren't sure how to get started, below are vital tips to ensure that your experience is a tremendous, secure and a memorable one.
- If you are not acquainted with technology or uncertain what to write on your profile, ask a friend to help you. Don't allow a loss of familiarity keep you from partaking in online dating. It is likely that someone you know already is aware of the strategies and would be eager to assist you. Most online dating sites provide tips to help you get started.
- Be absolutely honest about yourself. You don't need to lie about your age, your background or your personality. Not everyone will heed to this advice but the truth is, it is not ideal to start your relationship with lies. When the relationship has gotten to its peak, others will get to know that you are not who you say you are.
- Shield your identity and anonymity. If you refuse to give out your personal information to a stranger over the phone, so why would you do so over the internet? It is advisable to use your first name at the initial stage and provide more details about yourself after you have met the person and gotten to know each other better. Genuine online daters will understand the reason for doing this. They will be open to you just as you are open to them.
- By no means should you provide your last name, address, or other personal information to a person you have not met. And under no circumstances should you deliver money to someone you haven't met. This is applicable to anyone you meet online, irrespective of whether it is in the restrictions of an online dating sites or other website. Beware of any prospective partner who asks you directly or indirectly for cash.
- Do not be in a hurry to meet them. Most times when you get acquainted with someone, you may feel like hooking up with them. It can be tempting to rush out for a date with them after a one or two conversation; your instinct tells you "it's time to meet". Do not be in a hurry to meet, however resist the urge to move too fast else you find yourself in a complicated situation. My candid advice for you is to wait at least one week before meeting in person.
- When it's time to meet, do so in a public place. So you have been chatting online for some weeks and can't wait to meet face to face right? Ok it's time to meet up with the person and have your fist official date. Bear in mind a few safety tips. Firstly, do not have your date pick you up or drive you home. Let a friend know your plans, what time you will be leaving and your date's name. You can ask a friend to drop you off and pick you up. Keep your initial meeting brief and if you like the person, there is always time for longer date.
- Do not allow your date walk you home. I know this is amazingly romantic. However except you already know that someone well, you shouldn't let them stroll you home. It's is so unfortunate but not everyone has your best interests at heart. And that's the more reason why you shouldn't let them know where you leave until you are sure of them and they have been evaluated by your friends. Basically it is better to be very careful than to find yourself in a dangerous situation.
- Trust your intuition. Online dating is an incredible way to discover people with the same interest; however building relationship takes time and attention. Ensure you look out for consistency in behaviour. If for any reason you feel uncomfortable, please leave! It doesn't matter how appealing or good-looking the other person is. Always remember that under no circumstances are you obliged to continue a date, be it traditional dating or online dating. Always pay attention to the "red flags" that someone might not be genuine or presenting himself honestly.
So many people have turned to the internet in search for true love. However not everyone on an online dating site is on the same mission as you, as there are even more creepy people. Keep your life as private as you can until you are really sure of your date.
Online dating can be an awesome way to meet someone special with whom to share your life with. Taking your time to do it properly and protecting yourself is a matter of common sense and another way to ensure that your online dating experience is secure, pleasurable, and successful is to check for online dating sites reviews from various websites in order to be on the right track.
Don't be talked into any action that is not in your best interest. Think before you act. As with anything you do on the net, an ounce of prevention is truly worth a pound of cure.

We use the client's goals and desired approach to drive the creative process, developing a concept that will deliver on this objective.

This stage of the production process involves recording both the audio and video elements. We take your needs and budget into account in recommending a solution that is right for you and your business – whether it be simple or elaborate in nature.

Well everything this summer has been flying by and the Tiny House Jamboree was no exception. It was a jam-packed three days full of inspiring speakers, beautiful houses and some pretty awesome food (can you say, wine ice cream?). I hate that it's over already but the good news is: 1) I will be going back next year and 2) It rekindled my love for all things tiny.
So, for those of you that couldn't make it out to Colorado Springs, I thought I'd share a little wrap-up post-Jamboree.
First of all, this was my first time back to Colorado since I was 10 years old and my family took a trip across the country. I remember that even as a child, I proclaimed that I loved Denver and would like to live there. Although that's pretty much all I remembered.
But right away, I was enamored with how beautiful the countryside and the skies were. I mean seriously, look at this sky!
The Jamboree was held at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, but thankfully, I did NOT have to speak in the giant stadium like I originally feared. ;)
We were actually in the field next to the stadium and the amount of things to do/see was amazing! The first thing you hit was the food trucks and can I just say, I had the best poblano pepper tamales that I've ever had in my life?? I also tried this amazing little dessert that was 100% fruit but somehow looked like soft serve ice cream (I think bananas were the secret ingredient). It was gluten-free, dairy-free and had no sugar added, so I figured what the heck! I tried blueberry peach with vegan sea salt caramel sauce on it. OH MY YUM. Although, I still had to pawn it off on someone else after about 5 bites. That's what happens when you quit sugar!
Ok, so enough about the food... once you entered the gate to the main area, the real fun began. In addition to tons of different vendors that included solar panel systems, essential oils, body care products, composting toilets, trailers, TH movers, wood stoves and more... there were 48 tiny houses to tour. Yes, my favorite part!
I will admit... there was a period of time there after my bad tiny house experience, that I was a little bitter. Not really outwardly, but I realized that I had stopped watching tiny house TV shows, stopped looking at tiny house pics on Pinterest or IG and pretty much stopped thinking about tiny houses altogether. It wasn't that I didn't want one anymore, it was just that I didn't want to think about it for awhile. It's like when you go through a bad break-up and you have to stop dating for awhile. But then once the hurt starts to wear off, you slowly start putting your toe back in the pool.
Well consider my toes wet!
Although I loved a lot of the houses that were there, there were three that definitely stood out as my favorites:
#3. Sprout Tiny Homes
Although I didn't get any wide shots of the interior unfortunately (the tours were pretty crowded!), I did snap one of this beautiful shower stall and the cool double staircase.
The interior was GORGEOUS though and was both chemical-free (woohoo!) and 10' WIDE! That is a good 2' wider than most tiny houses and you could definitely tell the difference. I assume that you would probably need a special license or vehicle to be able to move it, but I think it'd be worth it!
#2. Tiny Idahomes
So, my second favorite was this house from Tiny Idahomes. Again, I didn't really get to take any good pics of the inside since it was so crowded, but here are some from their Facebook page:
#1. Tiny House Chattanooga
And then, there was my favorite. I LOVED this house from Tiny House Chattanooga. The bathroom felt spacious, the shower was gorgeous, the ceilings were huge, the closet space was amazing and they even had a built-in wine rack. Sure, it costs $82,000 as shown, but that's only $50,000 more than my last one! ;)
Check out the amazing interior in this video...
Just slightly different than Sweet Caroline 1.0, huh? Now granted, these houses are all waaay more expensive than my first house, but... you get what you pay for. Plus, as tiny houses continue to gain popularity at a fast pace, the prices are going to continue to unfortunately go up. It's not to say that you can't still buy a tiny house for less (and you can always build one yourself for a lot cheaper!), but these "luxury" models are steadily becoming more popular. And I can see why!
So, I didn't go to the Tiny House Jamboree just to look at houses. There was also a little thing I had to do called speaking on the main stage. EEK. For those of you that don't know, I hate public speaking and would pretty much rather go bungee jumping than speak in front of a large group. BUT I know this opportunity presented itself for a reason and I know it is important for me to share my story, so I put my big girl panties and got up there and did it.
Thankfully, we were NOT in the gigantic stadium like I had envisioned in my dreams (nightmares). We actually spoke on a stage off to one side of the property, with I'd guess about several hundred people in the audience.
Angie Alcorn (of Tiny House America) and I spoke about our experiences with less-than-stellar builders in a talk called "Buyer Beware" (named after my blog post that went viral). Since both of us had experienced a bad ending to our tiny house journeys, we wanted to share some tips with others about how to avoid ending up in the same boat.
Mainly being, DO YOUR HOMEWORK and TAKE YOUR TIME. I know from personal experience, that it can often be tempting to just dive right in and go full steam ahead because you want to hurry up and be in your tiny house! But it is WELL worth the time and effort to do your research thoroughly before signing with anyone. I had done a lot of research on builders but when my original top choice fell through after months of going back and forth, I chose the builder that I ended up going with on a bit of a whim. I based my decision more on "clicking" with him, then actually investigating his previous work thoroughly, which was my bad.
Which is why Angie and I also recommend that you:
- Check references (previous customers, suppliers, vendors, hired help, bank, etc.)
- Do NOT worry about being the "nice guy"... speak up and make your voice heard and understood!
- Be as involved as possible and visit the build site often.
- Remember that YOU are hiring (and paying) THEM, not the other way around. So don't change your desires or needs to fit them. Find someone that will fit your situation.
We are actually going to produce a step-by-step checklist that will take you through the process of choosing a builder the right way, so keep an eye out for an email about it soon and if you haven't subscribed already, make sure you do so here so you don't miss it!
The other great part about the Jamboree though for me was getting to meet some of the people in the tiny house community in person. I had already spoken with so many of them via email or social media (or watched them on TV!) so it was nice to finally meet them in person... like Guillaume (a fellow Tiny House Big Living alumni), Macy Miller (of Mini Movies), Kent Griswold (of Tiny House Blog), Andrew and Gabriella Morrison (of HOME), Andrew Odom (of Tiny House Magazine and Tiny House NC) and Kim Kasl (of Bless This Tiny House).
But perhaps the best thing about being at the Tiny House Jamboree was being reminded of how amazing the tiny house community is. Not only are they seriously some of the nicest people you will ever meet, but they have all had the same epiphany that I did in 2014... stuff does NOT equal happiness. Bigger does NOT always mean better. And sometimes it takes having LESS to actually live MORE.
I am super excited to see what the future holds for tiny houses, as well as how and when Sweet Caroline 2.0 will take shape. And I invite you all to continue along on my journey!
Until then, keep your dreams BIG and your worries tiny...

Ambar – Brunch
523 8th Street SE
This Columbus Day got a call from my friend PJ to grab a bite. It was the holiday and Ambar was serving brunch so we decided to check it out. Normally brunch is on Saturdays and Sundays only.
Ambar is fairly new to DC having opened less about 8 months ago. They have the 'small plate' theme which normally I am not a big fan for but in this case they have a pretty good deal. For brunch you have a fixed price for as many plates as you like and add in bottomless mimosa for $35 bucks. This is a pretty good deal especially since the food was very good.
The venue has a nice dining area downstairs and about 4 tables outdoors in the front. I didn't get a chance to peek upstairs but did notice that this would be another option. The servers seemed to be very attentive in the dining room making sure to keep the plates coming.
We decided not to go with the all-you-can-eat scenario so PJ ordered the Steak and Eggs while I got Waffles and the Salmon Omelet.
I tried the steak and while not as tender as I'd like was very flavorful and the chips seemed like they were made in house.
The waffles looked delicious so I was very excited when they landed on the table but they didn't have any warm syrup….they didnt even have any cold syrup and I tried to enjoy a fork full but it was just too bland without the syrup for me. The strawberries were very fresh but there was no kind of 'waffle magic' drizzled on the waffle so I had to return the dish because not very tasteful for me. Having said this I gotta say this was a personal preference because the waffles were perfectly fine if you prefer your waffles neat. The only waffles I can eat that way are the type like Roscoes out in LA or actually Founding Farmers where they have a hint of cinnamon.
Now the Salmon omelet was outstanding. Eggs prepared just right and you could taste how fresh the ingredients were. Capers, Salmon, Spinach, Onions and Cream Cheese, really outstanding. This was a rather quick meal for us as but I am planning to return for dinner very soon.
Ambar is located on the ever expanding 8th Street aka Barracks Row near Eastern Market. Its about a 7 minute walk from the Eastern Market metro blue or orange line. Parking is becoming more and more challenging in this area so you may want to consider taking metro.

Rollover Crashes Responsible For Hundreds of Trucker Deaths Each Year
Hundreds of truck drivers die every year in rollover accidents in the United States as result of several factors. The most widespread causes are crowded roads and ramps which are outdated, improperly lit or labelled, and due to exhausted truck drivers who are overtaxed or unfocused. The interstate highway structure is in serious need of refurbishment, with crumbly roadways, antiquated designs from the 1950s, and the much more extensive burdens of larger freight.
Rollover accidents caused more than 50% of the deaths of truckers and their occupants in 2012, even though rollovers amounted to only 3% of all truck crashes that year. 300 truck drivers or their passengers die and 3,000 sustain injuries each year in rollover crashes. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention found that over two million laborers in the U.S. drive semis weighing in excess of 10,000 pounds and rollovers are the primary cause of all on the job fatalities.
A study by the University of Michigan concluded that having a rollover multiplies a truck operator's risk of becoming deceased in an accident by 30 times. Not using a seat belt compounds the problem, since over one-third of truck driver fatalities in 2012 occurred while they were not wearing their seatbelts.

Often regarded as the unluckiest digit, the number thirteen has been feared for hundreds of years although its provenance seems to be somewhat unknown. There are many theories which lend themselves to this superstition but the majority are pure coincidence and the rest are likely fabricated stories to scaremonger – for instance, it is said that the condemned traditionally had to climb thirteen steps to reach the gallows, and Apollo 13 was the only unsuccessful moon mission recorded, although its fate was predetermined prior to launch due to a mechanical error. 13 even has its own specifically recognised phobia called Triskaidekaphobia, and the superstitious try to avoid bad luck by steering clear of anything numbered or labeled thirteen – with number plates being no exception!
Last year CAP received numerous enquiries from dealers about the potential impact of Triskaidekaphobia, on demand for '13 plate cars and the impact on their depreciation. However, without hard data on the number of truly superstitious people and insight into how seriously they really take the issue, it was to remain a matter of conjecture. The company went on to say that they were unsure as to whether the used values of vehicles bearing these plates would be affected, but stated that it would be highly unlikely. Meanwhile the DVLA were preparing for the dip in registrations, having been set to give new car buyers the option of avoiding the dreaded number for longer by extending the '52 plate period, although decided against it at the start of this year.
But is there really such a hype surrounding the '13 plate or has it been blown out of proportion? New car retailers are still managing to entice buyers with their 0% finance deals, five year manufacturer warranty cover and three years free servicing for instance, and there will always be consumers in the market for a new model. The SMMT even reported that new UK car registrations for March had risen for the 13th consecutive month, totalling 394,806 units which was an impressive 5.9% uplift from March 2012. They added that over the past twelve months registrations had increased by 140,000 units, or 7.2%, to 2.086million units. The Trader Media Group believe that this surge is set to continue, estimating that new car registrations will have risen by 2.7% this year compared to 2012 with figures expected to reach 2.1million units, which they say will largely be driven by growth in the private sector as well as recovery in fleet registrations.
In the used car parc, soaring retail prices are reflecting the rise in demand for older marques, and more buyers are recognising that older vehicles can represent even better value for money that new over the long term (especially when coupled with a comprehensive warranty and recovery package). But whilst values are currently at an all-time high it is inevitable that they will drop again when the demand settles down, so for the moment buyers are weighing up their options. Shortly the '13 plate vehicles will be entering the used market, and it will be down to the retailer to present an attractive proposition either by discounting heavily or adding value. In our opinion it would be highly unlikely, especially given the current stock shortage, that buyers in the market for a used car would refuse a nearly-new vehicle just because it beared the '13 plates.
Motor Trade Insider predict that there is likely to be a short term rise in the amount of personal plates being acquired, as buyers keen to avoid the '13 plate turn to private registrations in a bid to avoid the perceived bad luck. We believe that consumers will continue to be driven by their financial circumstances and not the numbers on a licence plate, so those dealers offering added-value over and above that of their competitors will be the ones who reap the rewards.
Did you know…
A vehicle's age identifier is preceded by two letters. The first refers to the region it was registered, e.g. A for Anglia. The second specifics the DVLA office within that region. As such, A to N represents Peterborough, O to U Norwich, and V to Y Ipswich. The final three letters – which appear after the age identifier – are allocated to dealerships. So, AB13 TVD would be a car registered in Anglia at the Peterborough Office between March 1st 2013 and August 31st. Thanks to motoring.co.uk for sharing this.

MANILA-- The Court of Appeals issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) stopping drug mule Mary Jane Veloso from testifying in the criminal case against her recruiters from her detention cell in Indonesia.
In a three-page resolution dated March 24 penned by Associate Justice Associate Justice Ramon Bato Jr. and concurred by Associate Justices Manuel Barrios and Renato Francisco, the CA's 11th Division granted the immediate relief sought in the petition filed by Veloso's detained recruiters, couple Ma. Cristina Sergio and Julius Lacanilao for it to issue a temporary restraining order and or writ of preliminary injunction for the deposition set for April 27 as ordered by Nueva Ecija Regional Trial Court Branch 88 Judge Anarica Castillo-Reyes.
"Finding the instant petition to be sufficient in form and substance, in order to maintain the status quo ante as well as preserve the rights of the parties during the pendency of the instant petition and not to render ineffectual whatever judgment that may be rendered by this Court, let a temporary restraining order be issued, effective for 60 days from notice hereof, unless sooner lifted, enjoining and directing the respondents to cease and desist from implementing the assailed resolutions during the effectivity thereof and until further orders from this Court," CA said.
The TRO specifically directed Castillo-Reyes and the government "to cease and desist from implementing the assailed resolutions during the effectivity thereof and until further orders from this Court."
The CA explained that the TRO was necessary "in order to maintain the status quo ante as well as preserve the rights of the parties during the pendency of the instant petition and not to render ineffectual whatever judgment that may be rendered by this Court."
Sergio and Lacanilao, who are facing human trafficking charges filed by the family of Veloso, earlier argued that securing a written deposition would be prejudicial to their constitutional rights to confront the witnesses face to face which they added is guaranteed under Section 14, Paragraph 1 of the Constitution.
They said allowing the deposition would also be contrary to the previous ruling of the Supreme Court in Vda De Manguerra vs Risos wherein the high court categorically declared that taking of deposition through written interrogatories is applicable only in civil cases and not in criminal cases.
Meanwhile, lawyer Edre Olalia, president of the National Union of Peoples' Lawyers, which is representing Veloso in the case expressed disappointment over the CA resolution.
"It is with utter disappointment and unfathomable frustration to learn that the Philippine Court of Appeals, upon the instance of the recruiter's defense, just recently issued an order restraining the long overdue deposition of convicted migrant worker Mary Jane Veloso in Indonesia," Olalia said in a statement.
"We shall not stop exhausting all fair legal means in combination with decisive political action to ensure that she is allowed to speak the truth, the whole truth & nothing but the truth," he added.
He noted that a victim of injustice several times over, distressed migrant workers like Mary Jane expect from her compatriots not only to uphold fairness, reason and justice but also to demonstrate empathy and conscience at the very least.
In its ruling in August last year, the RTC allowed the taking of Veloso's deposition from the Indonesian jail by the Philippine consulate in the presence of the judge.
The recruiters argued in their petition before the CA that the deposition would violate Section 14(2), Article III of the Bill of Rights in Constitution, which required that they confront Veloso face-to-face.
Olalia said the Nueva Ecija court ruling would allow his client to "finally be given the opportunity to testify and tell her story."
Olalia said the local court was right in allowing the deposition since Veloso who is on death row in Indonesia cannot appear before the court to personally give her testimony.
Veloso said she was duped by Sergio and Lacanilao into bringing the drug-laden luggage to Indonesia in 2010 where she was arrested upon her arrival at the Yogyakarta airport.
The death sentence on Veloso was temporarily halted last April 29, 2015 after then President Benigno Aquino III appealed her case to Indonesian President Joko Widodo.

Wear It 3/10/2011
Posted by matilda deathstar
At 7:45 this morning I was in my PJs enjoying a cup of coffee when I remembered I had a client coming in at 8:30. Doh. So I grabbed the first things I saw and made it to work with 7 minutes to spare. Just enough time to snap a photo and write this post.
I bought this jacket at 6pm.com's $10 10/10/10 sale last year and it finally fits. I think it is supposed to be outerwear but I'm wearing it indoors because this blouse is sheer and my bra is blue and well you get the picture.
I am so excited about these boots. They were on clearance and are super comfortable and a good replacement for my other brown boots that were too big.

Currently I'm hot footing it back from Sussex-by-the-Sea back to London before the storm of St Jude hits. I thought I'd share some photos of Bexhill:
Month: October 2013
A nighttime cycle from London to Brighton
A few month's ago I took part in the London to Brighton's Night Ride for the British Heart Foundation. It's was the second time that I took part in this event and I love it. Even at 4am and I'm cycling up a hill!
It took me around 7hours to compete, a mere 60miles down to the coast through the streets of the capital and through the country lanes of Sussex, eventually hitting the hideous Ditching Beacon to enjoy the speedy downhills to the seaside.
A nighttime walk around London
I went on an impromptu walk around London's most famous sights. I loved walking around at night. I don't know if it's because there was less people, the way that the bright, unnatural lights lit up the buildings, or simply because I had great company, but there was something about nighttime London that I loved.
Photos taken with the Galaxy S4.
Ping pong on the O2
It's not everyday that you get the chance to play ping pong on top of the O2. When the email came through, I jumped at the chance. Climbing the O2, ping pong, views of nighttime London… hell yes!
This wasn't the place to take up my dslr, nor my G12 (not that I was able to take photos while on the climb anyway), so out came the camera phone which, to its credit, didn't bad job considering I was only using the light available to me.
It was a surreal (and gutting) feeling to know that I was standing on top of the O2 with Fleetwood Mac directly underneath us. That would have been an amazing gig to have gone to.
