Seaside fantasies of crushed velvet waves, cubed granular salt, and inky blue depths of silk, seude, and panda fur flood my mind. Tepid palm leaves trap equatorial steam and cause warm rain to peel the yellow wallpaper in my bedroom mind.
I pick up the phone, covered in pink, fluffy, faux fur. I call my bestfriend, Niobe, and we talk for hours about the beach house we're going to build when we run away together.
We've got everything planned. I can see it:
Seashells and barnacles tup with pure gold doorknocker earrings in our jewelry boxes; we stay up late listening to the ocean moan to god while we watch lascivious red light specials and dream about skinny dipping.
In the afternoon on the next day, our golden retriever jaunts giddily as we chase it with a stick, laughing like lunatics, playing reverse fetch. Down in the baked, luminous sand we nuzzle our dog, Kizzie, and eat whatever we want–and I mean whatever we want.
I hold Niobe's hand, and wipe mustard from the corners of her crumby mouth, licking my fingertip sensually afterwards. I've seen a lesbian couple do this in an obscure movie.
On misty morning walks, we're mistaken for lifetime partners and lovers as we sweep the gilded sandman from each other's canthi.
Together, we own exactly one bike that we ride every Thursday to the local grocers. The bike is canary yellow with a glossy finish, a large, brown wicker basket, and a shiny bell. Its a Vintage make with huge wheels and ribbons on the handlebars.
(I name our bike Rita, after the Italian ice place where I met Niobe as a gap toothed, big headed kid. She had dimples and a satiny kiddie perm that produced sumptuous pigtails to past her shoulders. She bought me ice cream and we've been inseparable since.)
Niobe rides on the handlebars, her full bottom making a soft, inverted heart in her distressed blue jeans. I steer badly, inciting her mock ire.
On a straight stretch of road, I stop steering , but keep peddling. I cinch my arms around her doughy waist, my nose pressed to her sweaty back, my fingers spread and preying for higher, softer ground; I search for her sweet fruit until I break her boughs; her leaves and scented, sap studded branches raining down on me as we collapse into the grass; sunshine, bike, and all.
That's when I realize that we are not friends.
Because, 'scuse me as I get blunt: sexual peaches ain't for no apple-pickin' friends; just like cobbler ain't for bad kids, nor easter egg hunts after church in the hot sun. No. You been the devil's help in Sunday service all morn. Your mama done sweated her lortdang press out and aint waiting in nobody's hot ass sun for your bad ass to find a sulfur smellin' egg in a bush.
So no, I don't get to squeeze on Niobe's pleasurable bubblegum bubble curves, Niobe tells me. She says no as she tenderly leads my rough, slim hands to all of the places I am absolutely under no circumstances to touch. She says she is a Missourian who believes in showing and not telling.
It is here, that we have our FRIED GREEN TOMATOES rubicon moment: my fingers graze her chocolate dipped milk mounds, part her pillowy legs, bathe in sacred coves of pink salt stone in the quiet grass. The road is empty and we foment all alone like Mentos in a glass of cherry Coke.
We've got it all planned out, or at least I do.

Santos and Santo André in the finals of the Paulista
April 19, 2010 at 10:51 8 comments
The finals of the Campeonato Paulista 2010 will be decided between Santos and Santo André.
On Sunday, Santos put three past a toothless São Paulo to bring their total of goals to 90 in 25 games this season. São Paulo's best chance of getting through the tie came in the first leg at the Morumbi. But at the Vila Belmiro, the Tricolor failed to show the grit they displayed last weekend. In the end, the result was never in doubt and the 6-2 aggregate score underlined Santos' superiority. Yesterday, Neymar grabbed a brace. His first was probably a handball and the second came after a dubious penalty decision. But the teenager again showed flashes of brilliance that will only increase the demand for his inclusion in the Brazil squad for South Africa. Paulo Henrique Lima knocked in the third. The midfielder is also a strong candidate for the World Cup. Dunga's preference for defensive minded players counts against the youngster and in all probability the pair will fail to make the competition this year. However, they are all but guaranteed a place in the squad of whoever takes over at Brazil after the World Cup. See the highlights here
The other finalists of the Paulista are Santo André. On Sunday, they lost 2-1 at home and ended the tie drew 3-3 on aggregate with Grêmio Prudente. But because of the Paulista's bizarre rules, Santo André went through after finishing higher in the Group stage. See the highlights (Portuguese) or with yours truly and Bira Brasil in English here
The first leg of the finals will be played next Sunday. A venue has yet to be decided but in all likelihood, Santo André will play their 'home' game in the Pacaembu.

John, I watched that great game on GolTV yesterday. I don't know the name of the guy who comments games with you, but the man was clearly cheering for São Paulo! You guys must prohibit that guy from commenting São Paulo games! I hope he didn't beat his wife and kids when he got back home since he seemed to be completely outraged by the humiliation that took place at Vila Belmiro yesterday.
Thanks for the great game anyway!
Hahaha, ok! I'll trust you. But I'll continue to pay careful attention to Bira's comments.
Great comments from both of you anyway (despite his São Paulo bias!). I'll see/hear you guys again on the finals!
I watched an extradordinary victory from the best brazilian team, Santos over Sao Paulo last sunday, the difference is huge and nowadays Santos has no competitor in Brazil… perhaps in the world!
Santos Forever!
hahaha you should have been a detective or a psychologist! but i couldn't possibly comment on Bira's allegiances

Welcome to our latest news and blogs page. Click to read the latest articles below or browse by category on the right.
Gary Lineker and Danielle Bux are in the news for it and previously Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin hit the headlines for amicable divorce with their "conscious uncoupling".
How realistic is it to "remain friends" during and after divorce?
The simple answer is that although many might wish to do so reality intrudes. "Friends" share close details of their lives and support each other in difficult times. It is very hard for a separating or divorcing couple to do that. Very often the mere fact of the separation is the most difficult time either of them may go through. As such although many couples are able to remain on friendly terms not many survive as "friends".
The actual divorce process is a straightforward paper exercise in most cases and can often be dealt with in a way that does not cause unnecessary angst.
The source of difficulty is usually conflict over children or financial matters. The legal system takes a far more enlightened approach than it used to and the majority of family lawyers these days are either trained in non-confrontational techniques or actually practice as mediators or collaborative lawyers. Such attitudes rather than a combative warlike stance can go a very long way to reducing tension and enabling even apparently insoluble cases to be resolved.
In collaborative law the solicitors work more closely together to enable clients to set the negotiating agenda and in facilitating positive discussion aimed at resolving issues but with a crucial decision not to issue proceedings. The strength of the method is that clients set their own agenda rather than having it imposed externally by a court. If either client does wish to issue proceedings the collaborative solicitors have to withdraw. Whilst acknowledging the spirit behind this approach some clients and some solicitors have problems with the rigidity of this approach. The latest thinking suggests a possible development of the collaborative method through which clients may be supported as indicated above but with the possibility of the solicitors remaining instructed if a dispute becomes unavoidable. Some suggest that disputes could be referred into an arbitration process.
This is actually quite similar to what has become known as "Collaborative Lite" in which the solicitors and clients agree to adopt a non-confrontational stance, to work together, to set agendas and to facilitate discussion but without the solicitors being obliged to withdraw if talks break down.
Many solicitors in the Worcester area are quite willing to use any of the above solutions but many clients find that "Collaborative Lite" ticks more boxes for their needs than the others.
At SME Solicitors we are prepared to be as flexible as our clients need in order to try to negotiate a sensible solution. If "Collaborative Lite" is of interest to you please contact Ian Stirzaker, our Head of Family Law at email@example.com or telephone 01905 723561

Alegria | Brenna Slip On Shoe, Garland
Call Mon-Sat 10am-5pm
- Neat Fitting Slip On Shoe with Velcro Strap
- Dream Fit range with Neopreme Stretch Insert
- Mini anti Slip Rocker Sole
- Cushioned Anatomic Footbed Moulds to your Feet
- Plenty of Wiggle Room!
- Not suitable for use with orthotics
A neat slip on shoe from Alegria with a velcro strap for a snug fit and on Alegrias mini rocker sole. Part of the dream fit range, the Brenna features a full open cell neoprene stretch insert in the top of the shoe that comes up all the way to the velcro fastening. This stretchy and breathable material upper surface across the top of your feet should prove to be both extremely comfortable and very accommodating for lots of feet (especially if you struggle to find shoes that are deep enough for painful joints and bunions.
The Brenna in Garland has a lovely mosaic floral pattern - we really love this style of soft leather from Alegria. The contrasting red stitching and iconic red butterfly on the sole look great. We feel confident that fans of the mini rocker sole (like the Verona Sandal and Caiti Boot) will love this style.
The Brenna part leather and part neoprene (under the stretch insert). The Alegria cushioned cork and memory foam anatomic insole supports your feet, especially your arches, in all the right places. Around the back of the heel is also cushioned for comfort and there is plenty of wiggle room in the toe box.
The shoes have a slip resistant sole that really works. Note, unlike the Dani and Paloma, this shoe is on the Mini Rocker Sole unit. Due to the enclosed nature of the shoe and the fact it does hold on to your foot really well, we would recommend you just order your usual size in this shoe. So, if you are a size 5, order a size 38.

what about raise the chance to get a decent TALENT roll, what about changing team line up in Lost Realm don't makes you lose 5 times against weaker teams, what about adding some new ways to obtain HONOR BADGES for those that have no guild or for F2P? So why are you whining about? F2P have DESTINY (which i'm gonna use it in like 2 years from now). SUCCES!
Seriously, igg is too money oriented, i have been with this game since it began, it was more fair then. p2p and f2p both had d same resource pool, the only defence was p2p wld level up way faster but the f2p still had hope of catching up, of doing the things and having heroes as powerful as the p2p with 5ime even it be just two or three. but now that impossible. a f2p can't hope to match a p2p anymore the resource pool are very different whete p2p get all types of money exclusive items that is never available to a f2p in any form. i must say if not that i have spend much time on this game and have alot of friends and spent my money on it too. not everyone can pay plus take for example in my country a $20 pack is #7212 thats a person whole salary over here. your campaign in the beginning was a free yo play game in recent times that's not so ture.

The stop playing english version of the game, play loalized version of the game on your region and prizes should be adjusted to the local income, if available. if not, tough call, but that's igg and the game for you
Why no warehouse space

More say for parents and index-linked hourly rates in childcare
Parents with children in childcare will get more say about the care their children receive. As of 1 July 2015 all childcare organisations will need to be affiliated with the Childcare Disputes Committee. Parents may lodge a complaint with the committee if they are unable to resolve their issue with their childcare provider. The committee's findings are binding. In addition, as of 2015 the government will raise the maximum hourly rate on which childcare benefit is based, in accordance with wage and price rises. The cabinet agreed to these proposals by Social Affairs and Employment Minister Lodewijk Asscher.
To strengthen the role of parents in childcare, their right of opinion will be expanded. Until now, parents' committees dealt primarily with the cost of childcare. In the future, their focus will shift to the quality of care from a child development perspective, which they will discuss twice a year with their childcare provider. The national childcare register website currently publishes the results of Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspections, but parents cannot see what action their local authority has taken in response to the GGD's findings. This will also change, giving parents more insight into the quality of care as a whole.
In 2015 the maximum hourly rate on which childcare benefit will be based will be € 6.84 for day nurseries, € 6.38 for out-of-school care, and € 5.48 for childcare by registered childminders. The rates were index-linked in 2014, but not in 2013 when they were frozen to cut public spending. The higher rates in 2015 will cost the government € 45 million.

What states are helping recently released inmates reintegrate themselves back into society?
The United States contains 5% of the world's population, yet houses 25% of the world's prisoners, according to the American Psychological Association. This means we incarcerate approximately 2.3 million people or 1 in every 100 adults.
The analysts at PrisonEd Foundation are passionate about giving inmates a second chance at a successful life, so, we asked the question: what states are helping recently released inmates reintegrate themselves back into society? With this question in mind, we crunched the numbers and found that:
Vermont is ranked #36 (worst) out of the 45 states looked at for The 10 Best and Worst States for Recently Released Inmates!
Interesting Findings
- Alaska was ranked as the least friendly state because it has the highest 3-year recidivism rate and only three programs throughout the state to help inmates integrate back into society.
- Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Utah tied for having the lowest percentage of their population incarcerated. Great job for preventing crime and providing support outside of the prison system!
- Florida has the highest amount of current and ex-prisoners out of all the states we pulled data for. Due to the number of current prisoners, there is a bigger opportunity to have more education programs than the four they currently have!
- California came in first place. The Golden State has a background check law without a salary cap, making them the overall friendliest state.
- Alabama has the most reentry programs—a total of 19—available to inmates.
The PrisonEd team looked at four different data points to determine which states are the friendliest to ex-felons. We included the number of reentry programs, background check stipulations, recidivism rates, and the population of current or former convicts. Each metric was standardized and weighted before we added them together for the final score. Five states (Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Oregon, and Texas) were excluded from the ranking due to insufficient data reporting.

How is the Covid-19 virus affecting you?
With this outbreak, it has certainly slowed down the world. Yet, created a crazy rush to supermarkets to stock up on rice, toilet paper and other amenities.
People on cruises have been prisoned on water and thousands were lay off from the drastic drop in travel and other industries. If you were told to take unpaid leave, consider yourself lucky, compared to others who are now jobless.
This is a huge wakeup call to all of us, job security is a thing of the pass. Working a normal job and getting a paycheck at the end of each month could vanish in a blink.
Are you someone who is jobless because of the virus scare?
Or do you know someone who has??
If not, could you be next, if a similar outbreak happens in the near future?
Pause and ask yourself, "How can you change the relationship to your circumstances?"
What would your answer be?
For me, it was a wakeup call to find another path, another way, that I can learn and work towards, to build a life, a business where I depend on me and not to rely on someone else or a company for a paycheck.
How can I create financial security? This is so important. As much as you heard the saying, "money is not everything", it does play a pretty big role in everyone's life, as we all have bills to pay, and put food in our bellies.
So, I spend time researching for an alternative, I read and learn more about online marketing and affiliate marketing. This has interest me before, as I see this grower bigger and bigger in the future. But just googling and searching online, there is so much out there, that it is overwhelming and had no idea where to start. And so, it never happened for me.
NOW, this all changed for me, when I found Six Figures Mentors. It's an extremely detailed, step by step training with consultants, coaches, mentors, live training and a very supportive community, all working towards the same goal: to succeed, gain freedom both financially and geographically, as well as gaining more time to do the things you love and always dreamt about.
Is this possible, could this be your new life? I think a big YES!
I started this journey, and I am determined to learn, do and hope to help others into this same path that could change your life and break free from a job without any security. Now, this is not a quick rich scheme where you are promised little effort and score big. If this is what you have in mind, then this is not for you. But if you are willing to have an open mind, put in the time, discipline, to learn & execute for a bigger picture for your future, are you willing?
For me, it's a huge YES! And I am on that journey and loving it, knowing that this could be my bigger picture and to security and freedom.
Have I pushed on your curiosity button? Will you join me?
If YES, do click on this link http://tidyurl.com/3cfotg just to learn & find out more. This could be your it!

Agricultural drains doing double duty: water drainage and habitat for biota
June 13, 2019
Photo credits: brook trout, northern pike, blacknose dace (left, top to bottom) by Katie Stammler; maintained and unmaintained drains by Belinda Ward-Campbell.
Landscapes and ecosystems have increasingly been modified by human activities. Agriculture, for instance, is a familiar feature on the landscape with approximately 50% of global land area being crop or pasture land. One of the defining features of human activities on the landscape is that certain ecosystem services can be favoured over others leading to what has been called "domesticated ecosystems". In agriculture, this would mean creating conditions that favour food crop production over maintaining ecosystem features necessary for species diversity.
In order for crops to grow and thrive, agricultural lands often need to be drained of excess water. Drains are created for this purpose either by digging out a new channel on the landscape or by channelizing an existing headwater stream. Over time, drains can require maintenance in order to ensure efficient movement of water off the landscape. Maintenance can involve digging out the channel with an excavator and cutting back riparian vegetation. Although drains are completely or partially constructed features, they still support biota such as fish, benthic invertebrates, and aquatic vegetation and maintenance activities may disrupt these ecosystems.
Left photo - before drain maintenance; Right photo - following drain maintenance (by Belinda Ward-Campbell)
Ward-Campbell et al. (2017) used drain maintenance as an opportunity to understand the resilience and resistance of ecosystems to disruptive human activity. A resistant ecosystem avoids changing in the face of disturbance while a resilient ecosystem will change as a result of disturbance but can readily recover. For their study, they examined whether drain ecosystem features that support fish are altered due to maintenance, and if yes, do they recover and how quickly.
The study involved eight pairs of maintained and unmaintained reference drains plus unmaintained reference sites at downstream locations of the maintained drains. Paired drains were within the same sub-watershed all of which were located within southern Ontario. Measurements and sampling took place prior to fall/early winter drain maintenance and 10 to 12 times following maintenance over a period of 2 years. The first sampling post-maintenance was at 5 months.
The researchers measured seven physical features that can influence the number and kinds of fish that inhabit watercourses: channel width, water depth and velocity, substrate size, bank and in-stream vegetation, and overhead cover. They also considered the benthic macroinvertebrate assemblage as an indicator of food availability for fish. Metrics included the number of taxonomic groups, overall abundance, and changes in the relative densities of chironomid larvae.
Over the course of the study, Ward-Campbell et al. (2017) observed changes in some physical features of the drains but not in the assemblage of benthic macroinvertebrates. Bank and in-stream vegetation and overhead cover decreased after maintenance but returned to pre-maintenance condition within two years while water depth and velocity results were inconsistent. Changes in stream width and substrate type were not observed possibly due the approach used when excavating and presence of fine substrates, respectively. The lack of change in benthic macroinvertebrates could be due to a number of reasons: invertebrates may have taken refuge in the hyporheic zone during excavation or returned to the drain from the removed materials or the community may have been able to bounce back over the five months prior to the first post-maintenance sampling.
This study is important since it helps address some concerns expressed by fishery managers with respect to the effects drain maintenance may have on fish and fish habitat. Although some drain features that provide habitat for fish were resistant to change, others were altered to such an extent that negative impacts on fish populations cannot be ruled out without further investigation.

Grey's Anatomy. You know that show where all the doctor's are having sex with each other including all the residents and the interns. It was the show that birthed the term vajayjay as a substitute for the word vagina. I looked up the word 'vajayjay' in Wikipedia and it re-directs to the page on the vagina.
Things have changed at Grey's Anatomy. In yesterday's episode they actually used the word 'vagina.' They said it twice that I registered. There may have been a third utterance of a word that was considered too racy for TV just a couple of years ago. Perhaps the world is evolving.

I never cease to be amazed at just how ignorant, naïve, and gullible Christians can be – and especially conservative, evangelical, and fundamentalist Christians who profess to be in subjection to the precepts of Scripture. This is especially true when it comes to politics.
Although I am a Christian who loosely identifies with the above persuasions, my authority is the Holy Bible, not the Republican Party, the conservative movement, the pro-life movement, or the Religious Right – and certainly not the Christian Coalition.
Founded by Pat Robertson in 1987, the Christian Coalition was led by the charismatic Ralph Reed from 1989 to 1997. It was at one time a prominent voice in the conservative movement. The Christian Coalition has declined precipitously since Reed's departure, and especially since Robertson ceased being its president in 2001. Because of its GOP partisanship and the superficial way it handles important issues – all in the name of Christ, of course – the organization's end cannot come soon enough.

I'm just getting started with my first Azure app. Here's something which I wanted to implement in my first application:
1. The first page allows various users to log in, each user given their own username.
2. Once they've logged in, they would be able to upload their documents which will be stored in the Windows Azure Blob. Each document would have a particular id.
3. All the documents which have been uploaded on the Blob will be visible to all the users. However, if a user wishes to edit a particular document, he will need the document id to access it.
4. Once he's given access, he'll be able to edit the document just like Google docs and save changes after he's done.
5. The last feature is something which will depend on how quickly I get the first 4 steps done. I was earlier thinking of collaborative editing but that would be a little out of my scope right now as I'm a beginner. An alternative to this would be to restrict access to a user if he's trying to open a document which has already been opened by some other user.
I would like to implement all of this on Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 using Visual C# and ASP.net. I've already created the free Azure cloud.
Please let me know how to get started or if any of you know any useful links which I can refer to.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Pallavi,
Thank you for visiting our blog.
A high level implementation of your requirements are given below.
1. You have to create a table for 'users' in the database (You didnt mention your database) and create a page for login as a normal application page. Only users having username and password in the table 'users' can access the application
2.For uploading logged in users, you can use same code that we posted here.
3. By giving access key and access password you can listed out the name of all blobs in the grid view or any other controls.
4.To obtain the edit functionality, better is first download docs from the blob and gives an option to edit the doc from local, once it edited user can upload file same as step2. Then the same name file will be replaced by new one.
Please go through it and let me know any doubts.
If you want more help shoot details to my email id. email@example.com
May 3, 2013 at 3:36 am
Spot on with this write-up, I seriously believe that this web site needs far more attention.
I'll probably be back again to see more, thanks for the info!

This is a sample from the Screenplay I wrote that the producer has now requested that I also turn into a novel.
Blow Over
sample of an Original Screenplay by Keith Kareem Williams
You've never come to me for this much product. What's going on?
They say they have a buyer that can move it.
SUPPLIEROh, I see. And who is this mysterious buyer?
CONNECTI don't know. Some foreigner.
(smirking sarcastically)
Some foreigner? And you trust your little goon squad?
Of course. They're loyal to me. Without me, they wouldn't have shit, they wouldn't be shit. I basically saved their lives. Everything they have is because I created the lane for them to have it.
(Doubt heavy in his voice)Really?
(Shaking his head and looking directly at the CONNECT)
So, it's the troubled lives of wolves and sheepdogs playing out before my eyes.
SUPPLIERIn this shady underworld that we do business in, you can't confuse the three or the results can be disastrous. There are differences between wolves, sheep and sheepdogs.
CONNECTI don't understand. What the hell are you talking about?
SUPPLIERSome people are sheep, content to graze peacefully and quietly play their roles. These goons that work for you, they are NOT that. But, I'm sure you know this. To you, these boys that work for you are sheepdogs. They keep the wolves off of your back. They keep you safe.
What are you trying to say, that I'm soft?
(Putting his index finger up sternly)
Listen, I'm too old to mince words. We both know that without those boys keeping you safe, the wolves of that stinking city you conduct your business in would have eaten you alive a long time ago. Make no mistake about it, you are the sheep. You would be content to just make your money and play your position. You know your role.(Putting his hand on the CONNECT'S shoulder)
That is not a bad thing at all. It's why you're my favorite. You have no greedy little eyes on my throne. You keep your head down and graze. But, I think you're making a mistake and I'm obligated to warn you.
What mistake?
SUPPLIERThese brothers that work for you are not sheepdogs. They are wolves. And, greedy wolves at that. They protect you from the rest so that you can grow fat. One day, they'll feast on YOUR flesh.
CONNECTI'll take my chances with them. They've never let me down. I trust them with my life.
SUPPLIERYou can trust them with your life. I don't trust them with my product.
The SUPPLIER signals to one of his BODYGUARDS. The BODYGUARD nods and disappears OFF CAMERA. In a few moments, he returns with two grim, fearsome looking men (THE SHEPHERDS) and begins to walk them over to where the CONNECT and the SUPPLIER are sitting.
So, you won't give me the work then?
SUPPLIEROh, I'm going to give you the work. Money always has to be made. I just won't be letting you handle it alone.
THE SHEPHERDS walk into the screen and stand behind the CONNECT and the SUPPLIER at the bench where they're seated. The CONNECT looks over his shoulder nervously at these two fearsome, intimidating men.
CONNECTWhat's this?
(Waving his hand at the men nonchalantly)These are my SHEPHERDS. They'll keep you and my product safe on this one. Pick it up tomorrow in the usual spot. They'll be there with it. Oh, by the way. One more thing.
(Getting up to leave)What's up?
Warn your sheepdogs not to fuck with me. I'll kill them, and everything they love.

Look, guys. Even when I make a decision that is a good one, I sometimes still feel regret. I do my best to change a situation when it sucks, so changing one that doesn't 100% suck feels very strange. I could totally have kept working here forever and been moderately happy, but the remaining sliver of unhappiness due to my geographical location may have eventually caused me to seemingly-spontaneously combust, only it would not be spontaneous at all, it would have been a long time coming.
Today there was a catered BBQ lunch, so I was able to soothe my frazzled emotions with nature's truest cure: pork. And macaroni & cheese. And cupcakes. Then I was too full to cry or be sad. After eating, I had to go do my exit interview even though I am not yet exiting. It turns out I'm off Monday as usual, but then I'm also off Tuesday for 4th of July, so I'm down to just two more days of office chimping. I should do one good photo excursion before turning in my badge, but I managed to get a couple snaps between my desk and HR's.
As for clothes, you won't believe this but I'm wearing two pieces I've worn before! This may be a Clotheshog first. I got this Tatyana skirt in a clothes swap I had at my very own house. I really like it, but I don't think I like it ON ME. I'm too round and stumpy for long skirts. Also too short, because this isn't even supposed to be a long skirt, I don't think. (Previously worn: here) The top is a ModCloth I scored at Ebay. (I wore it previously here.) I buy earrings from basically only one place. Shoes are Chelsea Crew, by way of a Facebook-hosted "boutique".
Lunch is about over so I bid you adieu. Happy Friday eve!

Manchester City will have a double interest in the European draws on Monday morning.
Manuel Pellegrini will be keen to find out what awaits his side in the Champions League last-16.
Meanwhile, Patrick Vieira will find out who his U19s are up against in the UEFA Youth League.
The young Blues will be the team every group runner-up wants to avoid, being the only side with a 100% record.
City cannot be drawn against fellow domestic sides Liverpool and Arsenal.
Nor will they face Roma, the second-placed team from their group.
That leaves Barcelona, Schalke, Porto, Olympiacos and Zenit as possible opponents in the first knockout round.
Barcelona won the inaugural competition last year, but could only manage second place in their group this year as they lost out to PSG.
Schalke were the only other team to reach the knockout stages - they lost to Barcelona in the semi-final - although all five teams are playing in the competition for a second successive year.
City are already due to face Schalke in 2015 as part of the U21 Premier League International Cup; the two teams meet in January.
Whoever they face, as group winners City are guaranteed to be at home in the one-legged tie in February.
However, they could be drawn away - and against an English club - from the quarter finals onwards. The draw for the rest of the competition is also being made on Monday.
Vieira's side made it to the quarter-finals last year, where they were unlucky to lose against Portuguese side Benfica.
They will hope to go further this time but may be hampered by the needs of the first team; youngsters Jose Pozo and Angelino have been involved with the first team this season and may be called upon again.

At Home: A Short History of Private Life by Bill Bryson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I'm not sure how Bill Bryson does it but he is a master at making almost anything interesting and entertaining! I love how his exploration of the home allowed him to explore so many facets of life. I learned so much more than I expected while reading this book! I kept leaning over to my husband to share a tidbit here and there that I found fascinating! Although I hesitate to call it a history of the home as it's so much more likely to explore the various things in people's lives throughout time. It's really a book that explores a great variety of things, places and people that impact private life.
Going into reading this, I was expecting a room by room exploration of the history of each room. That's not exactly what this is. The rooms are really just a conduit to the things that Bryson wants to explore. I really enjoyed what he shared but I do think the title could potentially be a little misleading.
Whatever your expectations, I think you will enjoy this one. Especially if you're interested in history AT ALL. This book touches so many aspects of human history that were fascinating! I highly recommend it!

Kaydon Corporation (NYSE:KDN) was in 10 hedge funds' portfolio at the end of March. KDN has experienced a decrease in enthusiasm from smart money recently. There were 11 hedge funds in our database with KDN positions at the end of the previous quarter.
In today's marketplace, there are dozens of indicators market participants can use to track publicly traded companies. Two of the most under-the-radar are hedge fund and insider trading interest. At Insider Monkey, our research analyses have shown that, historically, those who follow the top picks of the top fund managers can outperform the S&P 500 by a significant amount (see just how much).
Just as beneficial, optimistic insider trading sentiment is another way to break down the financial markets. Obviously, there are many reasons for an insider to downsize shares of his or her company, but only one, very obvious reason why they would initiate a purchase. Several empirical studies have demonstrated the market-beating potential of this method if piggybackers know where to look (learn more here).
With these "truths" under our belt, it's important to take a peek at the key action surrounding Kaydon Corporation (NYSE:KDN).
How are hedge funds trading Kaydon Corporation (NYSE:KDN)?
In preparation for this quarter, a total of 10 of the hedge funds we track were long in this stock, a change of -9% from the first quarter. With hedge funds' capital changing hands, there exists a few key hedge fund managers who were upping their stakes meaningfully.
According to our comprehensive database, Chuck Royce's Royce & Associates had the largest position in Kaydon Corporation (NYSE:KDN), worth close to $16.7 million, accounting for 0.1% of its total 13F portfolio. Sitting at the No. 2 spot is Israel Englander of Millennium Management, with a $4.6 million position; less than 0.1%% of its 13F portfolio is allocated to the stock. Some other peers with similar optimism include Ken Griffin's Citadel Investment Group, John Overdeck and David Siegel's Two Sigma Advisors and Ric Dillon's Diamond Hill Capital.
Seeing as Kaydon Corporation (NYSE:KDN) has witnessed falling interest from the entirety of the hedge funds we track, we can see that there is a sect of hedgies that decided to sell off their full holdings last quarter. At the top of the heap, John A. Levin's Levin Capital Strategies dropped the biggest position of the "upper crust" of funds we watch, worth close to $4.5 million in stock., and Paul Tudor Jones of Tudor Investment Corp was right behind this move, as the fund cut about $0.6 million worth. These moves are important to note, as total hedge fund interest fell by 1 funds last quarter.
How have insiders been trading Kaydon Corporation (NYSE:KDN)?
Insider purchases made by high-level executives is particularly usable when the company in question has experienced transactions within the past 180 days. Over the latest six-month time period, Kaydon Corporation (NYSE:KDN) has seen zero unique insiders purchasing, and zero insider sales (see the details of insider trades here).
Let's also examine hedge fund and insider activity in other stocks similar to Kaydon Corporation (NYSE:KDN). These stocks are MRC Global Inc (NYSE:MRC), Kennametal Inc. (NYSE:KMT), Proto Labs Inc (NYSE:PRLB), RBC Bearings Incorporated (NASDAQ:ROLL), and Blount International, Inc. (NYSE:BLT). This group of stocks are the members of the machine tools & accessories industry and their market caps are similar to KDN's market cap.

Transfer Money to Australia.
Sending money abroad doesn't have to be expensive. CompareTransfer is like Skyscanner for money transfers. Compare the cost of all money transfer providers and choose the best way to send money abroad. By choosing the cheapest offer on CompareTransfer you can save over 90% fees compared to Banks. This is why we claim to be the best way to send money to Australia. Compare all options and start saving now by switching your foreign exchange provider.
Money transfers are calculated by matching the exchange rates and comparing the transfer fees. Further fees apply for international bank transfers to Australia.
These are the average fees charged by banks for transfers to Australia according to World Bank Data. Read more about international bank transfers.
Most money transfers include a hidden fee. This charge is hidden in a worse exchange rate you receive by your money transfer provider. Although a provider may claims a transfer is free or just has a cost of 1€, the real cost will be higher. If you compare the real mid-market rate with your custom exchange rate, you will see this rate can be up to 10% worse. This is a whopping 100€ fees on a 1000€ transfer. In a lot of cases it is cheaper to choose a provider, which has a higher service fee, but a better exchange rate. At CompareTransfer you can compare the real fees of all money transfer providers. In our comparison we add the exchange rate margin to the service fee, so you can compare the real fees of money transfers.

The Jablonski Diagram
Written by Tim Bushnell, PhD
A Jablonski diagram illustrates the electronic states of a molecule as well as the transitions between them. These states are arranged vertically by energy and grouped horizontally by spin multiplicity. Nonradiative transitions are indicated by straight arrows and radiative transitions by squiggly arrows. The vibrational states of each electronic state are indicated with parallel horizontal lines.
For flow cytometry, its important to note that the energy of the emission is usually less than that of the absorption. As such, fluorescence normally occurs at lower energies or longer wavelengths.

text: Well, I was inspired today. We havc been cramped up in this house since I hurt my foot. I read a blog about getting your kids out in nature. So, we got out. Even though Owen didn't get his room clean we just had to be out. It was so nice outside. And all we needed was a sandbox and a water hose. Here is some pictures of our simple fun. I want to encourage you all to get out this weekend!

As a member in the Tunisian Association for the Integrity of Elections and Democracy ( ATIDE) I will be a witness for the Presidential Elections that take place the 23 of November. This national and non-governmental organization has been there in the two previous parliamentary elections as a significant association that has watched and observed the Electoral process. As a part of this organization I am very glad to have and enjoy such an experience for it is and will remain one of the uplifting recollections.
Although tomorrow I am going to choose one of the delegates to be my president for the next five years- and this is the question that is making me write this post- I wonder what would make a 22 years old man like myself would choose one of this delegates ? what would make me choose one of them who are very old and creepy ? those who have been manipulating us the people and youth! we made a revolution so that youth could be empowered and speak his mind and have a saying in his future, however, one of the delegates is over eighty, scientifically he has nothing to give right ? how is he going to deal with all what this country and people are hoping for? My work with this organization is a voluntary work and as a part of the civil society , there is a saying that says" there is nothing stronger than a voluntary heart ". I am part of many others that though we have been overridden by politics, manipulation, and twisted speeches I still have to wear my badge tomorrow and be there in the voting center so that I may not be guilty in the eyes of the next generations .

I spent a portion of the day trying to wake up and went out to buy some groceries. By groceries I am referring to soda (bad for me but I haven't given it up yet), protein shakes that I drink instead of meals because I often forget to eat meals, and Owen food (some form of greens for our tortoise, whose name is Owen).
Then I did homework. I don't mind reading the books for my classes, but I would prefer to read fewer pages and absorb more of the information and make connections. With a couple hundred pages to read for each class it becomes a bit of a marathon. I just read and read, hoping to catch enough key words to pass the test.
My high school class has begun to discuss holding a ten-year reunion this summer. I don't know if I want to attend, mostly because thinking about it leads into self-evaluation and embarrassment at how little I've done with my life so far. I am blessed to have a good family and my basic needs are all covered, but it seems that the people who were once my peers have gone on ahead of me. Many of them graduated from school several years ago and have gone on to higher degrees and/or careers that seem fulfilling. I wasted time, lost my scholarships, and feel a bit stuck in a career that pays the bills but feels like a dead end and doesn't suit me very well. I may get a degree in four or five years, depending on scheduling and the pending deployment overseas. It's something that bothers me all the time, but events and anniversaries bring it out a little more.
In a feel-good comedy I guess this is the place where I would decide to throw away the day job and chase my dreams, going through various montages set to upbeat music until I have everything I ever wanted, but I am an endless fount of pessimism and I find it difficult to imagine giving up the security of a permanent position with decent pay for the uncertainty of trying to be happy. The life I have should be enough for me.

February 21, 2017… Day 33
Radio alarm: Praise for General McMaster from all directions. NPR is on the chopping block, so I'll enjoy my Morning Edition while I can.
Tuesday morning. NBC says Trump has a perfect chance, right now, for a reset. Asks, "Can Trump enjoy a no-drama week?"
Trump visits the Smithsonian Museum of African American History this morning. While there, he tells the press that the recent anti-Semitism has been "horrible" and "painful" and is "going to stop."
The Anne Frank Center was not amused. They called it a bandaid on the cancer of rising anti-Semitism. Proving they are as good with words as their namesake, they also said "Do not make us Jews settle for crumbs of condescension." Sean Spicer said in his White House press briefing, that Trump has constantly condemned anti-Semitism, and that he, Spicer, wished that the Anne Frank Center had praised Trump for his leadership on this issue.
Muslims and Jews in the U.S. are continuing their public overtures of kinship. Muslims quickly raised some money to help with the Jewish cemetery in St. Lousi that was vandalized.
President Trump tweets that the angry people at Republican town halls are just "liberal protesters." Republican congressman Justin Amash tweets back "They are our fellow Americans with legitimate concerns. We need to stop acting so fragile."
On the radio, local former EPA employees tell KUOW they don't have high hopes for Scott Pruitt's reign at the agency.A couple hours later, Scott Pruitt greets EPA employees for the first time. I haven't heard whether the 3,000 pages of emails between him and the oil & gas industry came out today as expected. In his address to the EPA he comes across as super friendly, folksy, and decent. Like other of Trump's cabinet picks, he has none of the bombast of Trump. He knows how to dial it down, seem like a normal person, and seem humble. He starts off by quoting Paul Harvey.Then he says that we are living in a "toxic environment" (pun not intended?) and that everyone puts on their "political jerseys." So apparently, he's going to address how hated he is coming into the job. He says "general principles of civility, finding answers, listening to each other… I think these are things we should keep in mind." Then he says, "regulations should keep things regular," and "process matters." It is now clear that he is centering everything on "those who are regulated" (a phrase he uses multiple times), and not what is being protected (a word he does not use). He says "We should avoid abuses that occur sometimes," and he's talking about regulations, not pollution. He says "federalism matters." Then he drives it home that his guiding principles are "federalism, process, and rule of law." Yikes, buddy. Then he goes out with a John Muir quote ("people need beauty as well as bread" — still missing the point that the environment is worth protecting for its own sake). his final words are "I look forward to serving you in the future," and now his niceness just seems sinister.
People are widely spooked by new DHS rules about rounding up immigrants and deporting them.ICE force will triple, Local police will be deputized, and people can be sent back to Mexico right away, and then later be formally deported by videoconference. When asked about it, Sean Spicer makes a shackle sandwich. He talks about ICE having formerly had "their hands cuffed behind their back" when it came to dealing with illegal immigrants. Then he talks about Trump visiting the slavery part of the African-American museum. Then quite soon after that, he talks about ICE being "in shackles" before this latest executive order.
At one of my community organizing meetings, I brought up the topic of Seattle as a sanctuary city–and that maybe Seattle's sense of itself as a sanctuary needed to be actively strengthened and reinforced. As a bulwark to whatever shifting political and fiscal winds are ahead. An older woman who retired from the King County sheriff's office pooh-poohed me. She said I had no idea the levels of bureaucracy involved. She said there was no way, logistically or culturally, the local law enforcement would cooperate. She said there was no way the feds could make that happen. I just said "Thanks! I'm glad there's something I can move lower on my list of things to freak out about!" And I meant it. A little bit later, she moved away from where I was sitting. As soon as she left, an elderly Japanese-American woman turned to me and said "Do you think neighbors will turn on neighbors?" That white woman hadn't reassured her.
I'm not sure, but I don't think Glenn Thrush of the New York Times got a question at the briefing. Spicer shut him down pretty hard, choosing to take another follow-up from the tough Haley Jackson instead of letting Glenn speak. He passed it off as chivalry to Haley, but everyone in the room probably had flashbacks of Melissa McCarthy grabbing a super soaker.
"One of the beauties of history is that we don't repeat itself"
— Sean Spicer, February 21, 2017
On NBC: As a reporter asked Pence yesterday at a NATO news conference, "You've given your assurances today here in Brussels to European leaders that the U.S. is committed to working with Europe. President Trump says very different things. He has said that the EU is a vehicle for Germany, that the UK was smart to get out of the expected other countries to follow. Who should European leaders listen to, you or President Trump?" Pence's answer: "The United States is expressing strong support for NATO even as we challenge NATO and challenge our allies to evolve to the new and widening challenges. And further meet their responsibilities." But can you express strong support when an administration is saying different things?
On Saturday, the New York Times had a story about Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, meeting with a foreign Putin-friendly politician and then delivering a sealed envelope to Michael Flynn personally. The Washington Post had a follow up story the next day. Both papers talked to Michael Cohen but he changed his story between the two articles. Rachel Maddow asked last night whether Jeff Sessions would follow through with the U.S. DOJ efforts to extradite a Ukrainian oligarch who is Paul Manafort's business partner. Today a court in Vienna ruled that he could be extradited from Austria to the U.S. Now all eyes are on Jeff Sessions, who will not recuse himself from investigations into the Trump campaign and/or administration.
Sweet, civil moment between strangers in the middle of a conservative vs. liberal argument on a Trump Facebook comment thread:
White House press briefing without Sean Spicer:

Norway plans to continue its development co-operation to Sri Lanka
Sunil C. Perera - Reporting from Colombo
Colombo, 01 March, (Asiantribune.com): The Royal Norwegian Embassy says it has decided to continue Norwegian development co-operation to Sri Lanka.
Releasing a press statement, the embassy spokesman Numberg Eric said , in 2006, Norway's total development co-operation to Sri Lanka amounted to almost Rs. 4 billion. Of the long-term assistance provided, around 64% went to the South and the country as a whole, and 36% to the North and East.
Norwegian ambassador Hans Brattskar, during a visit to Hambantota district 26 – 28 February, stated that Hambantota would continue to receive a substantial amount of Norwegian development co-operation promoting private sector development. Norway has for the last 20 years, through NORAD, funded the Hambantota Integrated Rural Development Programme (IRDP).
The Ambassador stressed that economic development is one of the priority areas for Norwegian development co-operation. In 2006, Norway has provided funding to a broad range of projects, including support to Small and Medium Enterprises (SME's) and to investments in improved infrastructure. Norway has also, together with its partners, brought about more environmentally friendly and efficient production methods in the industrial sector, increased living standards for women and their families through micro credit schemes and improved housing conditions for people in the plantation sector. A matchmaking programme, facilitating co-operation between Sri Lankan and Norwegian businesses, resulted in a number of new joint ventures. Moreover, a coastal management plan for Hambantota was prepared with Norwegian assistance.
Support has also been extended to several civil society organisations throughout the country, including theatres and other organisations promoting culture to the general public.
Furthermore, Norway has continued its support for the tsunami-affected population in the south, east and north in 2006. The main focus has been on enhancing job opportunities in addition to reconstructing schools, religious buildings and permanent houses. In total, Norway committed over Rs. 6 billion to the relief and rehabilitation efforts in Sri Lanka for 2005 - 2007. Moreover, substantial amounts have been provided as a result of private donations from Norway.
According to current plans, Norwegian development co-operation to Sri Lanka will continue at the same level in 2007.

By Ken Follett
Synopsis from www.waterstones.com
As I said yesterday I had a few reviews to write and update you on. One of the reasons I may not have seen to be very active in the old book review department is for this book... I chose to do the unabridged version and at some 38 odd hours it took some time to get through. This epic book some may even say door stop was one of the best books ever. If you have the time to give over to this book and you want to know more about life at the turn of the last century then look no further than this book.
The only way I can describe the style of its writing is to imagine your looking at someone's platted hair, you have a main story that runs throughout the whole story, that of the building of the cathedral and then you have all the people who interact within that story. You will find yourself being taken on each of there journeys till they interact with another character and you then follow there story for a bit till the same interaction begins again. This story had me gripped and enthralled from beginning to end.
"The Pillars of the Earth" tells the story of Philip, prior of Kingsbridge, a devout and resourceful monk driven to build the greatest Gothic cathedral the world has known; of Tom, the mason who becomes his architect - a man divided in his soul; of the beautiful, elusive Lady Aliena, haunted by a secret shame; and of a struggle between good and evil that will turn church against state, and brother against brother. A spellbinding epic tale of ambition, anarchy, and absolute power set against the sprawling medieval canvas of twelfth-century England.
You really should read this book...
Bear. X

Sportspersons' Dinner Sold Out
The Scarborough Athletic Sportspersons' Dinner with former Boro boss Neil Warnock has provisionally sold out.
Warnock, who has also managed Cardiff City, Leeds United and Sheffield United, will visit Scarborough Rugby Club on March 28th.
He and a group of his former Boro players are also hoping to attend the home game against Gainsborough Trinity on the same day.
The club are organising a waiting list for fans who didn't manage to get a ticket to the event.
Organiser Sarah Dowey said: "We have been absolutely overwhelmed by the support we have had for this event. We are organising a waiting list in case anybody can't make it on the night, so other fans can take their place".
"We are also hoping that Neil and the players will attend the Gainsborough match, so fans who can't make the dinner can meet them."

The key is to be comfortable, be yourself, and be sincere. Anything else can lead to embarrassment.
One big misconception about giving a wedding toast is that you have to be funny. That couldn't be farther from the truth! The proper wedding toast comes in two acceptable forms: the sincere and the humorous. Sometimes it's good to combine the two, but if you are not so good with one, then by all means do not use this time as your opportunity to try out some new material.
People can sense when you are uncomfortable; and when you deliver an awkward joke that lands about as well as a sumo wrestler on a trampoline, everyone will know it. If you feel better speaking eloquently and seriously about the happy couple, then go for it. If you need ideas, buy a poetry book or a book of quotes and use some lines that work for the couple and the occasion. Or choose a certain song lyric you feel really represents the couple.
Your audience will appreciate a thoughtful wedding toast just as much as one that makes them laugh. In the end, you'll get a nice round of applause even if you didn't get laughs. If you do want to tell jokes, have your friends help out with ideas of appropriate, yet still humorous, topics.
Most importantly -- do not include any jokes that reference previous relationships, infidelities, or other touchy subjects. They will NOT go over well.
