Like most gambling activities, the game of Craps has long been the target of cheaters, so various forms of etiquette have evolved to protect both players and casinos from becoming prey. As a case in point, the shooter can use only one hand to handle the dice.
This particular protocol was developed because so many cheaters have attempted to switch loaded or unbalanced dice for the approved ones. It also explains why the stickman offers five dice to the shooter initiallyto reduce the possibility of crooked dice being introduced to the game.
For much the same reason, players are not allowed to position their chips in certain betting areas of the table. Instead, a croupier must place the chips for them, which discourages past posting, the sneaking of chips into a stack or sliding of late bets onto the table after the dice have already been thrown and come to rest.
The following Dos and Donts cover most of the basic types of proper behaviour expected at the Craps table. Adhering to these guidelines should reduce the occurrence of uncomfortable situations arising.
Squeezing In Most Craps tables feature 12, 14 or 16 betting positions. If all are occupied, dont squeeze between players to make a wager. Wait for a spot to open up.
Hovering A players hands should only be above the table layout when placing chips or shooting. Never hold chips, drinks or cigarettes over the playing area. Keep them on or behind the table railing.
Betting Right So-called Right Betting means wagering on the shooter to win with Pass Line or Come bets. The opposite, wagering on Dont Pass or Dont Come, is thought of as Wrong Betting and may be seen as wanting the shooter to fail. Betting right is the hallmark of a team player. There is certainly no rule prohibiting betting on the dark side, but backing the shooter to win is the custom.
Calling Bets Some areas of the table require the placement of chips be a croupier. To do so, it is necessary to announce the bet loudly and clearly, such as Hard 4, Buy the 8 or High Horn. Chattiness, like Hard 4 looks good to me; would you place these chips there, please, is discouraged. It simply wastes time and could lead to a misunderstanding: Where exactly is there?
Keeping Pace Craps can be a very fast-paced game. A typical table may see 100 rolls per hour. Anyone who slows the game down by ruminating over bets or clowning around when shooting simply slows the action and upsets the other players. Wagers are best made while the dice are still on the table, before the shooter picks them up. Dont be tardy. Identify the rhythm of the betting and get with it.
Never Say Seven Superstitions abound at the Craps table. One of them is that saying the number seven is bad luck. So refrain from shouting, Lets see a seven! Instead, use slang, such as Cmon Big Red or Dice be Sweet. There are literally dozens of nicknames for the lucky number.
Never Toss Chips Throwing chips onto the table is poor manners. Whats more, it may cause them to land in the wrong betting area or roll across the surface of the table, disturbing bets. Instead, carefully place the chips on the layout.
Rolling Cleanly Most tables have very specific rules regarding shooting the dice. They must be thrown so that they strike the far wall without bouncing off the table. Launching the dice at high-velocity, trying to get big bounces, tossing the dice into stacks of chips or spending too much time setting the dice are examples of bad practices that will annoy other players and the crew. To avoid trouble, always roll the dice cleanly down the center of the table.
Claiming Winnings It is the players responsibility to pay attention to the amount of chips won and ensure that the proper payout has been awarded. Pick them the chips up before the next throw. Any chips on the table after a payout are treated as part of the next bet unless removed. Some croupiers are fond of saying, If they lay, they play.
Remember to Tip It is customary when winning to reward the crew by tipping. This can be accomplished by pushing a chip toward one of the croupiers or the stickman and saying clearly, For the crew, so that it is not mistaken as a wager. Another way to tip is to place a bet for them, such as Two Way Yo or Two Way Hard 6, which means half the bet is for the boys and they can collect it if it wins.

COBRA Coverage Reminder
In compliance with a federal law referred to as COBRA Continuation Coverage, this plan offers its eligible employees and their covered dependents (known as qualified beneficiaries) the opportunity to elect temporary continuation of their group health coverage when that coverage would otherwise end because of certain events (called qualifying events).
Qualified beneficiaries are entitled to elect COBRA when qualifying events occur, and, as a result of the qualifying event, coverage of that qualified beneficiary ends. Qualified beneficiaries who elect COBRA Continuation Coverage must pay for it at their own expense.
Qualifying events include termination of employment, reduction in hours of work making the employee ineligible for coverage, death of the employee, divorce/legal separation, or a child ceasing to be an eligible dependent child.
In addition to considering COBRA as a way to continue coverage, there may be other coverage options for you and your family. You may want to look for coverage through the Health Care Marketplace. See www.healthcare.gov. In the Marketplace, you could be eligible for a tax credit that lowers your monthly premiums for Marketplace coverage, and you can see what your premium, deductibles, and out-of-pocket costs will be before you make a decision to enroll. Being eligible for COBRA does not limit your eligibility for coverage for a tax credit through the Marketplace. Additionally, you may qualify for a special enrollment opportunity for another group health plan for which you are eligible (such as a spouse's plan) if you request enrollment within 30 days, even if the plan generally does not accept late enrollees.
The maximum period of COBRA coverage is generally either 18 months or 36 months, depending on which qualifying event occurred.
In order to have the chance to elect COBRA coverage after a divorce/legal separation or a child ceasing to be a dependent child under the plan, you and/or a family member must inform the plan in writing of that event no later than 60 days after that event occurs. That notice should be sent to the EUTF office via first class mail (address noted below) and is to include the employee's name, the qualifying event, the date of the event, and the appropriate documentation in support of the qualifying event (such as divorce documents).
Hawaii Employer-Union Health Benefits Trust Fund (EUTF)
201 Merchant Street Suite 1700
Honolulu Hawaii 96813
When you elect EUTF-sponsored health coverage, EUTF will provide you with a COBRA Initial Notice. If you have questions about COBRA or would like another copy of a COBRA Initial Notice please contact the EUTF Office at 808-586-7390 or toll-free at 800-295-0089.

Address, Change, Dead, Death, God, Jesus, Jesus Christ, Life, New, Newness, Salvation, Sin, Sinfulness
Most of us have experienced what it is like to move from one residence to another. Moving is one of the most stressful periods of life because it involves taking all that you own and placing it in another residence. It is a time in which the normalcy as it relates to the routine of daily living is interrupted briefly. The purpose for such a move may be because of wanting a change in scenery, increasing space for the family, a job change, or one may be unable to afford their current living situation.
However, when you move from one residence to another, your old address is no longer relevant to your life and where you will be living. In most cases, once you have moved from one address to another, the old residence will at some point be occupied by someone else. If that occurs, then you will be unable to live in the property that you moved from because someone else either owns it or it is being rented. Your next residence is what will offer a new way of living, a new beginning, and a fresh start in life. Attempting to go back to what you left behind would defeat the purpose of starting over and gaining a new residence for you and or your family.
The same concept can be applied spiritually to each of our lives. In an earlier blog post, the principle of being awakened and alive in Jesus Christ was explained by using the scripture from Ephesians 2:1-6. The point of that post was to examine what being dead in our sin means but also knowing what it means to be alive or awakened because of Jesus Christ. In Romans chapter 6, the Apostle Paul brings up a similar principle but instead, he uses the principle of being 'dead to sin' and being 'alive in Christ.'
There is a fundamental difference between being 'dead in your sin' and being 'dead to your sin.' To be dead in your sin is living in death or a constant state of decay. Being dead to your sin means that you are no longer bound to the power that sin has over you. In Romans chapter 6 the Apostle Paul explains it this way:
Verses 1-2:
(NLT) "Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more of his wonderful grace? Of course not! Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it?"
First it is important to focus on verse 1 in which Paul is challenging the notion that one can continue sinning and taking advantage of God's grace. There are many who have and continue to believe satan's lie which is that you can continuously sin and expect God's grace to cover your sin. It is true that God will forgive us when we sin, however, the expectation that God has of every Christian is to live in holiness and obedience. This means not willfully sinning and expecting to be in the right position with God.
Of course, you and I are in our human state which means that we will all sin at some point because we are imperfect. However, many have used that reality as an excuse to continue in sin. Paul answers the question emphatically regarding sinfulness in verse 2 when he says that we should not continue living in sin. However, notice what he says in this verse:
"Of course not! Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it?"
Paul says that we have 'died' to sin which means when we have received Christ in our hearts, we are no longer living in sin or alive to our sin. We have 'died' to our sin which means it no longer has power over us. Just like the analogy of living in a new residence and attempting to go back to your old one, that is how God sees us when we accept Christ. It becomes fruitless and it is not practical to live in an old residence when you have a new residence to live in.
Paul continues in verses 3-4:
(NLT) "Or have you forgotten that when we were joined with Christ Jesus in baptism, we joined him in his death? For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives."
The interesting part of these two verses is that the Apostle Paul uses the term, 'baptism.' Why does he use this term and why is it relevant to our relationship with Christ? First you must understand the meaning of the word 'baptize.' The word 'baptize' is actually derived from the Greek word 'baptizo' which then comes from the root word 'bapto.' This was a term that was used in the first century as it related to immersing a cloth or garment into water with bleach and then with dye in order to change the color of the cloth or garment.
In the historical sense, baptism meant to immerse with the intent of seeing a changed product as the end result. As it relates to Jesus Christ, the term 'baptism' is used in the symbolic sense concerning Christ's death, burial and resurrection. Paul says that we were "buried with Christ by baptism" which means that when Christ died on the cross, it was the act of His death that started the process of breaking the power of sin. Jesus was and is our atoning sacrifice for the debt of sin that we could not pay. The burial of Christ is also symbolic as it relates to baptism by water. When someone is baptized they are taken down into the water to symbolize that there is a death and a burial to their sinful nature.
What all of this means is, when we are baptized with Christ, we are essentially dying to our sin which means we can no longer live in it as we did before. Secondly, Paul says in the latter part of verse 4, "And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives." So, the last part of the process is that there is a resurrection. Jesus Christ did not simply die only to remain dead. However, Jesus died and rose again 3 days later.
Christ's rising again from death completed the process of providing new life to us and breaking the power of sin. Even with water baptism the act of getting out of the water symbolizes a resurrection and a newness of life. Regarding water baptism, it should be noted that every Christian should at some point receive the baptism by water. Water baptism is a public declaration of one's confession that Jesus is Lord in their life. It is also symbolic of a person's new life in Christ which means to signify to the world that there has been a shedding of sin or the old nature.
Verses 5-7 in this passage sum up the point that Paul makes to us:
(NLT) "Since we have been united with him in his death, we will also be raised to life as he was. We know that our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in our lives. We are no longer slaves to sin. For when we died with Christ we were set free from the power of sin."
So, the overall point is that when we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord & Savior, our lives change. If we have died to our sin, and we are buried and have been resurrected as Christ was, then our lives are made new. The reason why there are many who can continue in their sin (both those who are not in Christ and those who claim Christianity) is because they have not been truly made new and whole. That isn't to say that you and I will never sin again. However, if our lives resemble exactly what those who are of this world do daily, then we have not allowed Christ to transform us.
If you don't know Jesus in the remission of your sins, you are living in death. However, if you want to be dead to your sin and experience life in abundance, then you have an opportunity to accept this gift of life. Being dead to your sin is to be alive in Jesus Christ. It is only Christ who can change your life and make it brand new.

If you are skilled with your own hands, woodworking may be an ideal hobby. Woodworking has been around for many years. Everyone loves a beautiful piece of woodwork, so use the tips below to better your craft. It is always a good idea to have a pre-stain conditioner for the wood you're planning to stain. These conditioners will make the finished project look better. Also, it will create a smooth texture upon completion.
Consider making your own sanding blocks that are reusable. Begin by using scrap plywood to cut six blocks for each type of sandpaper grit. Be certain they are approximately 2 1/2 inches by 4 1/2 inches. Apply spray adhesive to secure the cork tile to the blocks. Put one piece of cork on each block and line it up flush. After spraying adhesive on a sheet of sandpaper, place it on the block face of each cork. Cut the sandpaper flush and label each block.
Before staining your project, test the stain in a hard to see area, or, better yet, on a piece of scrap wood of the same type. Testing first will give you an idea of how the stain will look on a real piece. You'll get no unwelcome surprises later. This simple testing tactic lets you counter the unpredictability of wood. Put together a detailed budget for all your projects. Frequently, you overestimate how much you can afford to invest in your projects. You may be excited to create start a new project, only to be disappointed half way to completion when you run out of funds. If you research this prior to starting, you can avoid this type of disappointment.
Learn about the woods you'll be using and the characteristics of each. Each wood piece is different. Staining looks different on various types of wood. The grain patterns of different woods mean pieces splinter differently. Learning how different types of woods and different types of grain is important to your woodworking. These will all factor into your woodworking plans. You can simply fix some hinges with a golf tee if you are working on an interior door. Just take the door off the hinges and tap the golf tee into the offending screw hole. Then, cut the golf tee's excess off and reinstall the door. The tee will allow the screw to bite into the door.
Ear protection is important if you wish to delve into woodworking. The machinery gets very noisy. You can lose your hearing if you aren't careful. Disposable earplugs are available, or you can invest in a pair of high quality headphones. Whatever choice you make, be sure that they are always worn inside the shop. Woodworking is a great way to get work done with your hands. Now that you've gone over some woodworking tips, you should be able to get yourself started on whatever you want to build. Take what you learned here to better your skills and soon you will see great projects being created.

Like several other people, you are probably investing in a gym membership and passing on desserts. While healthy eating habits and routine exercise are clearly important, there are other elements to consider when it comes to boosting your overall health. Keep these tips in mind as you make strides toward your goal of becoming healthier in 2019. Clean Air Ducts You can consume all the vegetables you want and run many miles daily – but if you're not breathing clean air, you aren't going to be a healthy person. Begin the year with an air duct cleaning from Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning. The vast amount of the air in your home gets in through your air ducts, and those ducts will become dirty over time with microbes, mildew, and bacteria, as well as dirt and dust. Regular cleanings can help ensure the air you are consuming is safe and healthy. Eliminate Toxins It's not yet spring, but it's never too premature to consider how you're cleaning your home – and what you're being exposed to when you do. Using apple cider vinegar, baking soda, and essential oils are all healthier ways to disinfect your home safely and without the strong toxins that often create headaches, nausea, and respiratory issues. Install a UV Light It's the season for colds and flu, and with that comes the related germs. Help reduce germs in your home with an Ultraviolet Germicidal Light. These machines safely provide the highest UV light intensity available, working to help reduce the spread of airborne germs and even help prevent excess buildup of germs in your home and inside your heating and cooling system.

News from Nepal
A visit in March to deliver supplies to schools
We are heading out to Nepal in March to visit all our schools. We will be delivering new Tin Boxes, new contents for boxes already in place. Books, stationery, sports kit we buy in Nepal but we can't buy Lego or Duplo easily. Both are fantastic resouces so if you have any you could donate, we'd love to be able to take it out with us. Please get in touch if you can help.
A round up following our visits in April 2018
During our April/May visit to Nepal, Sarah G visited a number of school projects to check on developments and see what further support we can lend to each. Read her round up here.More info
e2eChallenge17 rode miles for Likhu
Shree Mahendra Higher Secondary School
April 2018: With huge thanks to the 14 riders who took part in the inaugural e2eChallenge17 last year and everyone who sponsored their herculean efforts, we are delighted to have officially opened and handed over the shiny new buildings that make up Shree Mahendra Higher Secondary School in remote Likhu. This community has been cut off for so long and subsequent monsoon seasons following the 2015 earthquakes have further compounded the problems and delays with rebuilding. Now there is a fantastic new building complete with strong rooms and separate toilet blocks for girls and boys. A great achievement. We will share more news soon.More info
Mangala Devi School, Likhu, Nuwakot
February 2017 Update
After the mad dash to build a temporary shelter from the brutal monsoons of 2016, it was lovely to return in early 2017 and see the huge progress this little school has made. Together with an advanced part from Leadership Challenges, who are running e2e Challenge, later this year, we brought a jeep full of books, toys, classroom kits and games. We even introduced rugby to Nepal during this visit!More info
Shree Kalika Basic School, Ukhubari
Completed project - update
During our visit to Nepal in January 2017 we took the opportunity to revisit Ukhubari. We were given a wonderful welcome and a tour of the new buildings. Two buildings house a preschool room, 5 classrooms, a computer/store room and the headmaster's office. The all important toilet block is just beyond. The buildings are now complete and so we are turning our attention to the land surrounding the school. Clearance an levelling will provide an useful playground; fencing will keep the children safe from the steep drops onto the terraces and a water pipe will connect to the village supply as rainwater harvesting does not quite fill their school's needs. We are working with the school to fulfill the next stage in the project.
Chumlingtar School, Ghorka District
Complete project
A year on and during our January 2017 visit, we saw the recently finished library/computer strong room and school admin office. The two rooms are big enough to accommodate a pre-school class too. Next on the wish list is fencing around the site to ensure children stay at school during lunch break. They have a propensity to wander home during lunch and then don't return. We are delighted to be working with European School of Luxemburg 1 who have raised a substantial amount to enable this to wish to be granted. A party of D of E Gold students will be helping to build the fence in July.
Mangala Devi School, Likhu, Nuwakot
Ongoing project
Mangala Devi school is our fourth project, a small school of 35 children. Too small to walk the long steep trail to the main school, it's in a remote area of Nuwakot that we came across during a recce trip in March 2016. The school is just a set of tables & benches on a steep hillside without any shelter. We will fund 2 classrooms & toilets. Our target amount for this small project is only £6,500.More info
Shree Seti Devi Primary, Sindupalchowk
Completed project
It was hard to believe this school was just bits of bamboo in October 2015. Five months on the classrooms are all finished, we had a brilliant day dancing with the children as we celebrated the new school together. Thanks to everyone who helped us fund the building work.
Shree Kalika Basic School, Ukhubari
Completed project
Ukhubari is spread along the contours of a ridge high above the Bhote Kosi river on the road to Tibet. The original school was built on borrowed land and no one was willing to help with rebuilding unless the community bought the land themselves. The village is mostly Mahji, a community of desperately poor low caste fishermen, and it was unlikely that they would ever afford to buy the land, so we stepped in to help. Through the Nepal River Conservation Trust we were able to negotiate to buy the land for them and handed the title deeds to the community in March 2016. Funding to build a new and bigger school that better serves the community has already been secured and building works are already underway.

LOUTH WEATHER: 'Winter may be on way back'
Weather Forecast
LOUTH WEATHER: 'Winter may be on way back'
Local weather expert 'Louth Weather' has stated that it is looking likely that the cold weather will return - once again - over the next week or two.
"Interesting times ahead. The Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW) high above the Arctic over a week ago has created great uncertainty. The weather prediction models have changed direction like leaves in the wind.
"While the media makes it sound like every SSW automatically means cold weather, it's important to remember that only about half of all SSW result in cold conditions. However its' looking increasingly likely that we will see colder than average weather over the next week or two."

Using the rising costs of electricity, many home and office proprietors are on your journey to alternative causes of energy to power their houses, companies, and cars. This past year, the typical monthly San Francisco Bay Area utility bill was $250 per home. Within the next twenty five years that results in nearly $150,000 for electricity alone. To make sure that going solar can lead to real financial savings, the caliber of the solar installer and equipment selected should be considered carefully, since the system's reliability will have an effect on lengthy-term savings. Listed here are 5 tips about how to pick the right solar company for your house or business.
1. Research Your Options
Nearly 209,000 Americans operate in the solar industry – that's greater than double the amount number this year. By 2021, that quantity is anticipated to improve to greater than 360,000 workers, and therefore many solar companies and employers is going to be a new comer to industry and short on experience. Make certain you make time to carefully review each solar company's website and browse online reviews to ensure they have a consistently positive history and support it with a decent warranty. While virtually every solar installer provides a ten year workmanship warranty nowadays, it is just just like the organization behind it.
2. You Shouldn't Be Pressured
When the solar provider attempts to pressure you right into a system, they are a bad solar partner. Solar systems are lengthy-term investments that need information gathering, consideration, and real expenditure. When the solar installer states the cost will increase tomorrow, then you're ready to search for another resource.
3. Meet Them First
Never e-sign an agreement having a solar company before you decide to satisfy the solar installer personally. Make certain they've solid credentials and proper documentation. Always request a copy from the solar contractor's and subcontractor's license, insurance, and workers' comp coverage to make sure you are not responsible for any damage or injuries during installation.
4. The Very Best Equipment
To maximise the quantity of energy you obtain of all the drop regarding it's important to choose a solar company which has the very best panel technology available. All solar goods are not equal and selecting a solar company with inferior panels can lead to your having to pay higher productivity-of-pocket for electricity because of less capable panels, and much more for panel maintenance, because of inferior quality construction. Ask your solar partner concerning the panel design, reliability, warrant and efficiency, after which compare individuals along with other solar companies in your town before choosing the right provider for the installation.
5. Solar Financing
Finally, always choose a company who'll help guide to you thru the range of solar financing options open to you. A great solar partner works carefully along with you to recognize the best choice for you, whether cash purchase, solar lease, solar loan, or perhaps a PACE (Property Assessed Clean Energy) program. Regardless of what your financial allowance or credit rating you can begin saving with solar if you are working with the proper company.

Challenge: With continuous improvement and lean thinking in mind, this design team needed to develop a lean assembly workstation for installing numerous fasteners on a variety of product and materials. This assembly workstation needed to shorten operation time, as well as, provide ergonomic movement for the operator. It was also important that the motion solution be able to handle dusty conditions, and reliably operate up to four hours a day, five times a week.
The previous solution required the operator to adjust all tool settings each time in order to accommodate various project sizes. These changes included replacing the tool bit, adjusting the air pressure, and adjusting the tool clutch settings. These setup adjustments were identified as wasteful, as well as ergonomically challenging which caused unnecessary operator fatigue.
Solution: The new lean assembly workstation was designed to hold three pneumatic assembly tools with each tool dedicated to a specific product size eliminating the need to change tool settings. A welded steel frame was fabricated to hold tool balancers and air regulators within the workspace resulting in ergonomic improvements.
The pneumatic assembly tools are all in-line style with both push-to-start and leaver actuated to reduce the wrist angle during operation. Two types of tool balancers were installed including pneumatically assisted tool arms, and a spring loaded tool balancer. The spring loaded tool balancer can be positioned with ease by the operator because it is mounted to an UtiliTrak size-3 wheel plate running on UtiliTrak steel track.
Not only did the UtiliTrak linear guide easily follow the operator's hand movements in sync and extend the reach of the tool balancer in an effort to provide ergonomics of the workstation, but the steel DualVee® guide wheel technology on the carriage provided the application with long life and reliability due to its constant sweeping action against debris.
Product Used: UtiliTrak size-3 wheel plate with steel wheels and size-3 steel track

I have my feet up, and have actually been pretty much glued to the armchair, because of a severe back spasm that I have had now for a few days. Pre IVF I started out as a large woman, but the hormones and steroids this time around have caused a weight gain, that combined with my now giant, sore breasts, has triggered this back issue. Ow.
We are expecting a big snowstorm tonight and tomorrow, which I am really looking forward to, tho my honey and I have an ongoing battle.. he always goes out early and shovels, and I wake up and am like hello.. you ruined the snow! I moved to the country so I could see pretty snow! He has agreed to leave it tomorrow until after I see it, and maybe go out in my boots for a gander. Tho I may have to remind him of this.
All is well and I am still pregnant as far as I can tell. Here is a very early sonogram from a few days ago.
|22 dpo or 5 weeks, 1 day
Can you see the alien that is also apparently residing in my uterus? Oval face and long eyes? Just to the right of the dot.
I have also had 3 betas. 13 DPO 159.5, 18 DPO 1,429 and 22 DPO 6,938.1. The last beta was on the day of the scan, which is why I am OK that we couldn't see anything in the sac yet. I think these are pretty high betas, but I would love to do one of those nifty charts I've seen on other bloggers sites, comparing, but I can't find it anywhere. Anyone know where it is?
Since I last posted, I have found myself struggling to adjust to the so called "reality" that I am pregnant. See? "so called "reality"". I can't get myself to put it more definitely.
I have a full feeling in my uterus (which I have had since a few days after transfer), painful breasts, constant heartburn, and I do find sleeping anywhere, at any time, to all of a sudden be a thing I do. I have a scan of a dot. But does this add up to pregnancy? Oy. I guess I have the proof so far, but I need time to get it. I can really appreciate that most people have 9 months to get used to the whole thing before baby is here. My friend P who adopted last year, was informed that she had a baby a day before she got to go pick her up. She had struggled and waited and dreamed for 48 years to become a mother, and it happened in 24 hours. Life is amazing like that. And like this! I keep trying to comprehend that I have a growing person inside of me. Can't really do it yet, but I'm getting little flickers of it, and I'm really looking forward to the process!

Weight loss surgery, also known as bariatric surgery, is a safe and effective treatment for those individuals suffering from morbid obesity, a serious health condition that can interfere with basic physical functions such as breathing or walking. Those who are obese are at greater risk for illnesses including diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), gallstones, osteoarthritis, heart disease, and cancer.
To be considered morbidly obese, he or she must have a BMI of 40 or more, or be 35 or more and experiencing obesity-related health conditions, such as high blood pressure or diabetes.
People seeking weight-loss surgery are not usually considered candidates unless they have tried and failed to lose weight through traditional forms of treatment. People at high risk for disease or who have a life-threatening condition, including those with a disabling condition from obesity, are often considered good candidates for surgeries such as gastric bypass. People with a genetic condition that causes obesity are candidates as well.
Are you a Candidate?
Weight loss surgery may be right for you if:
- Your BMI of 40 or more.
- Your BMI is 35 or higher, and you also suffer from one or more health problem such as Type 2 Diabetes or Hypertension.
- Your past attempts to lose weight have been unsuccessful.
- You do not have any other disease that may have caused your obesity.
- You are prepared to make substantial changes in your eating habits and lifestyle.
Other guidelines can include an extremely high body mass index, obesity that exists for five or more years, no history of alcohol or drug abuse and no untreated psychiatric disorder. Candidates are typically between the ages of 18 and 65. Certain adolescents may be eligible for weight loss surgery, too.
Being a good candidate means having realistic expectations. Weight loss surgery can help reduce your risk of life-threatening conditions and improve your overall health and appearance, and these changes should improve your quality of life; however, su
rgery alone is often not enough to turn your life around. Significant behavior modifications are necessary.

To make a decision about the gastric bypass procedure and to find out if you are a good candidate for weight loss surgery, talk to Dr. Heidi Ryan. She and her team of experts can help you find the right weight-loss treatment for your unique situation.

Today is a banner day. It's 9:47am. I'm on a mom strike—due to my children not understanding that I can't be their mom and their maid. I'm on a wife strike—due to my husband not understanding that saying, "It's early, don't yell" is the wrong thing to say to the mom who is about to go on strike, due to her children not understanding that I can't be their mom and their maid.
Josh left for camp with out his swim stuff. OF COURSE HE DID. I'm resisting the urge to drive to camp and drop off his towel and suit. But I'm not going to do it, because I'm on strike. Because maybe while he's sitting by the pool and watching everyone else swim, watching everyone else get that much-needed refreshing respite from the hot, hot baseball camp non-shaded heat, he'll remember to bring his stuff tomorrow.
At 9:35 the doorbell rang. It was FedEx. Thankfully, FedEx comes and drops stuff off at my door without forcing me to make conversation and sign anything. This was mostly a bonus for him, since I'm covered in yesterday's eye makeup, in the initial stages of dry shampooing my bangs (spray is in, but not yet brushed out), I'm un-brassiered, un-made-up, and I'm still in my mismatched pajamas. I pretty much look like a zombie vampire right now. And not in a good way. I grabbed the package and closed the door. The package was…wet. So, I threw it down on the counter and went back upstairs to tend to my dry shampoo situation.
And then the doorbell rang again.
What does FedEx want now, to apologize for the wet package?
Oh no. It was my lovely friend, just out for a walk with another friend, smiles on their faces and Starbucks in their hands.
"HI!" she says, she's so sweet.
"Uh, hi, what's up, oh my god."
"Is everything okay? We were just out for a nice walk and thought we'd stop by and say hi."
"I don't care! It's me!"
"I'M NOT WEARING PANTS. You have to leave now."
And I basically shut the door.
That's what any zombie vampire would do, right?
And now I feel badly because she's such a good friend and I really adore her and I love that she didn't care that I wasn't wearing a bra and that she stopped by to say hi because sometimes work-at-home moms are lonely and she knows that and she really, really only meant well.
She dropped by unannounced.
And that got me thinking. Are there rules here? Like, say, don't drop by before noon or after 9pm without texting, emailing, or calling first? Do you drop by announced? Are you okay when other people drop by unannounced? Are you always company-ready?
(Maybe I'm just crazy.)
If I'm being honest, I'm a person who likes everyone to think that she has her shit together.
(Doesn't everyone?)
I don't want you to think that I yell at my kids in the morning. I don't want you to think that I argue with my husband when he tells me not to yell at my kids in the morning. I don't want you to think that my son's swim stuff is sitting on my dining room table, forgotten (STOP ME).
I do get dressed every day. But sometimes it's not before 10:30am.
I do put makeup on every day. But sometimes it's not until noon.
I do have a clean house. But sometimes it's not until after lunch, when there's a lull in my work day and I can shift focus from my first job to my other job—cleaning lady.
Just not always when you want to drop by unannounced.

Good Local Markets kicks off farmers market season
When we lived in California years ago, one of the perks we enjoyed was the abundance of real farmers markets where you can visit and connect with growers and artisans in the area. When we moved to Dallas, White Rock Lake Market (WRLM) was the only one we found where we had the same experience. Now our favorite community farmers market is kicking off the new season under the banner of Good Local Markets and has expanded to three locations around Dallas.
The wonderful thing is that when you visit, you know that you're buying 100% from local growers and makers. This was the market where we discovered Heather Rinaldi of Texas Worm Ranch who started us off at vermicomposting (the worms are still alive after several years), Village Baking Company, Texas Honey Bee Guild, Noble Coyote Coffee Roasters, Alpha Omega Acres, Baugh Farms, Blue Yarn Farms, Brazos Valley Cheese, Cita's Salsa, Fisher Family Farm, Good Earth Organics, JJ&B Jams and Jellies, JuHa Ranch to name a few. Over 100 vendors will be participating. The inaugural market is this Saturday March 14th at the original location at Green Spot.
"Good Local Markets will continue the mission started by White Rock Local Market, creating economic opportunities for local growers and makers, while bringing good food to Dallas residents," says GLM Director Sarah Perry. "Good Local Markets will be the umbrella organization for all programming – Good Kids classes, volunteer days, workshops and annual cooking contests including our popular Chili Cook-Off slated for April 19."
Here's the schedule:
White Rock Market is held the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of each month from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the original Green Spot location (702 Buckner Boulevard).
Vickery Meadow Market is held every Sunday beginning March 15 from 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. at 5803 E. Northwest Highway in the NW corner of the Half Price Books flagship store parking lot.
The 1st and 3rd Saturdays of the month Lakeside Markets are located at Lakeside Baptist Church, 9150 Garland Road beginning March 21.
Good Local Markets is a 501 (c)(3) tax exempt nonprofit organization which supports local farmers, ranchers and artisans by providing a public space to sell fruits, vegetables, cheese, meats, hand-crafted foods and other products while serving thousands of residents looking for healthy and locally sourced foods. Additionally Good Local Markets offers the Lone Star food stamp program, Love Your Farmer volunteer days, educational programs and workshops.
Till our next Happy Meal!

Thoughts from Mandy Forlenza Sticos on her inspiration behind this shoot.
This editorial shoot started as I gathered a few photos of my favorite classic film actress, Carole Lombard. I was immediately inspired to create a 1930s classic but modern bride. Photographer, Mariel Hannah and I searched for a "bride-to-be" with classic Hollywood glamour and found that and more in Emma from Major Models. Katelyn McGinn + Jha Villanueva were a beauty team straight out of the 1930s with properly set hair turned faux bob and a deep aubergine lip with a hint of the infamous Clara Bow, from the 20s. 501 Union provided a dramatic backdrop complete with a classic car and Jackie of Hello Darlington created a drama filled mini bouquet + shoulder corsage reminiscent of the time.
All together, these photos are an ode to a simple time-gone-by. A bride putting on stockings, unpinning her hair and posing for bridal portraits were all so simple yet glamorous back then. For many of the props I was inspired by vintage photographs and re-created similar set ups; the candelabra, the wire chair configuration and balloon toss to name a few. The 1930s were a classic time and it provides endless inspiration for even the most modern bride.

Hey, everybody. It's been a while since anybody ordered any of my $5 porn research gigs on Fiverr, which I realize is probably because the posts where I announced them have scrolled away into the deep archives. But I found doing them a lot of fun. My customers, too, seemed to enjoy the results, and why not? Where else in this world can you get your own $5.00 porn concierge doing deep web searches on your erotic behalf?
So I've thrown up some more visible links in the left sidebar. Just to refresh your memory, I've got two deals going. In the porn attribution research gig, I make best efforts to identify the source of any erotic image you nominate. (There is no guarantee of success but my success rate at finding at least some provenance is quite high.) In the Rule 34 research gig, the game is that I prove that there "is porn of it" ("it" being whatever you like) and if I can't find an example, I create one — typically in the form of a dirty limerick. (I haven't had to write a limerick yet.)
It's cheap and it's fun. What's not to like?

|Return to portfolio index
From the portfolio of The Party PackageTitle: Wearables Vol. 1
Creator: Bonnie, The Balloon Lady
Description: This is a collage of all the hats on the CD. The CD is a collection of PDF files totalling 118 pages (That is if I counted correctly). The PDF files include a cover sheet as well as intro sheet for those of you that would like to print them out and have a book to thumb through. For my first CD, I decided to share with you some of the designs that I use the most
Hats! Of all the things I know how to twist, hats seem to get the biggest and best reactions time and time again. As one of my restaurant customers described it, its like seeing a puppet show being played out all over the restaurant. Balloon hats bobbing and waving. Young and those young at heart laughing and having a great time. Bookings from people I havent even twisted anything for because they see the fun going on and want that at their next event. More generous amounts of folding green stuff to take home and count at the end of a shift. To my way of thinking, ya just cant get any better than that........... All of the hats on this CD I regularly twist at birthday parties and all of my restaurants. However, I have included one that I will only twist when my shift is slow or the party is small. Included on the CD are: Ocean Hat(s), Blue Bird Hat, Squid Hat, Cyclops Thingy, Penguin Hat(s), Cobra Hat, Rooster Hat(s), Hen Hat, Turkey Hat(s), Mr. Chubs, Goofy Bird Hat, and Twisty Sweetheart Hat. Ive listed 12 titles but a few of them have more than one design or idea under the same title............ For prices and ordering info please go to:
