My how times have changed. This morning, lying in bed, awake but freezing, around from just before 6am on . . . and the more after 6 heading to 6:30 the time becomes, the more I think to myself, "Get up! You're sleeping in! You're going to miss the day!" Which gets my feet to the floor and my body in motion. And all this long before 7 even comes into the picture. Remember when I did my list of 101 Things in 1001 days? One of the things on my list was to get up by 7:30am everyday for a month. Remember that? My thought was that if I could force myself into it everyday for a month, by the end of that time it would have become a habit and voila! I'd be a morning person. I had a couple of failed attempts. And then I lost some focus on my list (need to get back to that soonish) and sometime after I forgot about it altogether I just up and started getting up way early all on my own. Kinda weird. But I totally think I can cross that one off my list. I appear to have become a morning person, for freaking real! And you see it's things like that, that give me hope. Ten years ago if you had told me or anyone who knew me that one day soon I'd be a non-smoking, hot sauce loving, red wine drinking, morning girl . . . we would've laughed you off the planet. But things change. Constantly. And I'm the instigator behind all of these changes. So if I can convince myself of all these other things, one day I will be the healthy/balanced/fit person that I dream about being.
Mood: optimistic
Drinking: coffee with skim/water

This is my review and how I see it. In Absolve, author Shea Swain in this story about forgiveness from one character to other. Nisa lost her beloved brother to injuries he sustained in a freak accident. She became bitter and unapproachable to her family until one day she received a call that will place on her in the life of the man who inadvertently was party to the accident. Will Nisa be able to resist her attraction to Trenton and move on with him or will her bitterness rule out? To find out you should read this book which I found intriguing and had to finish before the day was done.

3 Leonidas Chocolate Nougat Bars
5 out of 5 stars Tuesday 05 September, 2017 By Jayne Smith - See all my reviews
Tried the almond only version of this nougat. It is absolutely wonderful, it is jammed packed with almond pieces and on the top whole large almonds. The texture was delicately soft to show how freshly made it was. Will definitely be ordering more since other nougat from other suppliers do not taste as good as this. Highly recommended

Realizing that you do not have enough money to buy groceries for yourself and the others in your household can be upsetting. Fortunately, the SNAP program is there to help. A federal program that is available in every state, SNAP or the "food stamp" program can help provide you with funds that can be used to buy groceries for your family. Before you can receive these benefits, however, you are obviously going to need to apply. If you follow these steps, you can get started toward applying for SNAP.
Gather Up the Necessary Documents
When you fill out your SNAP application, you will be asked to prove things like your income and the amount of money that you have in the bank. This will help determine if you are eligible for the program. For you to get approved more quickly and to avoid slowing down the process, it's smart to go ahead and gather the required documents ahead of time. In general, you should bring along things like proof of your identity, your social security number, a few paycheck stubs from your job (if you have one) and a copy of your bank statement.
Get Online
Did you know that many states will allow you to apply for SNAP online? This can be much more convenient, since you do not even have to worry about leaving your house. Plus, if you do not have a vehicle or if you don't have enough cash to put gas in your car, being able to fill out your SNAP application online can be a lifesaver. If you check out this online list, you can see if your state is listed. If so, you can click on your state's name so that you can be guided through the process of filling out your online SNAP application.
Visit Your Local Office
If your state does not allow you to fill out your SNAP application online or if you would just like some assistance with the process, you can visit your local office for help. In many states, you can get assistance with the process of applying for SNAP and other benefits by visiting your local Department of Social Services or other similar agency. Then, you can work with a social worker who can tell you more about the programs that are available and who can help you determine which types of programs you might qualify for, including SNAP. Additionally, he or she can point you in the right direction for applying and can help guide you through the process.
If you do not make enough money to be able to feed yourself and your family adequately, there is no reason to suffer on your own. There are programs out there that can help you, including the federal SNAP program. Luckily, applying does not have to be as difficult as you might think. If you follow these steps, you should be well on your way to getting the benefits that you need.

K-popped! has gone all the way to Beijing in search of authentic Korean food. I think it's high time we made a trip to Koreatown in Kuala Lumpur. Where would that be? Even though there are large communities of Koreans in Sri Hartamas and now Taman Danau Desa, Ampang is an area long known for its large number of Korean expatriates.
So one glorious Sunday morning, K-popped! Trio took a drive to Ampang. Since Rooster used to live in Ampang and was familiar with the roads, she drove us there.
On the way to Ampang, we drove pass the magnificent Kuala Lumpur Twin Towers (KLCC) and Nikko Hotel. Although Nikko Hotel might seem an unimportant landmark to some, we were very excited to see it because it was where Rain and his entourage stayed during his 2007 visit to KL.
center at the Jalan Ampang crossroads
Without a proper tour guide, we decided to try our luck and headed to an area opposite Ampang Point shopping complex. The area is called One Ampang Avenue. To get there, turn right at the traffic lights directly after Ampang Point (the shopping center would be on your left).
We were so amazed and excited to see so many Korean shops! *duh* No wonder it's called "Koreatown"! Except for two middle eastern shops, the rest were Korean shops. Korean restaurants, Korean hair saloons, Korean mini-marts and even a church!Unfortunately since it was a Sunday, many of the shops were closed.

John Hartigan set off a flurry of comment this week when he took the opportunity to rubbish News Ltd's competitors during his address to the National Press Club. There were sledges at Crikey, complaints about people stealing News' valuable content and it led to a bunch of barbs thrown back and forth on websites, blogs and twitter.
Let's put aside for a second the fact that any website on the planet can easily stop google from accessing their content, which News has chosen not to do, and compare for a second News' words and actions.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing – in our heads it lets us go back in time to make adjustments to our lives, to say things differently, to pay more attention to loved ones, to berate those we tolerated for too long, to have a better outcome for ourselves.
Hindsight teaches us new life lessons. And with the benefit of hindsight what I wouldn't give to be a new Mum again, to have the knowledge we have today and to feed my children the way we at The Baby Pantry prepare meals for babies and children – real nourishing food for precious babies and toddlers.
We source our herbs, veges, meat and ingredients from registered New Zealand organic and spray-free producers. We cook, chill and freeze it down using the latest, state-of-the-art technology and food control processes, in a HACCP certified commercial kitchen.
As a young Mum I chose to feed my babies the freshest food available, usually from our own garden, but alas we were the generation duped by the food industry - we believed the food and food practices of the time were safe – we didn't realise how many chemicals were sprayed on to our vegetables, how many artificial substances were in our processed food and we had no idea about the excessive amounts of sugar in our bread, cereals, sauces and baby food.
Thankfully we are much better-informed nowadays and I applaud the young Mums of today who read, research, check and double check what they and their babies are eating - they're helping to make the food industry honest.
I see now, it didn't matter the house wasn't always perfect, it didn't matter the kids didn't always have the flashiest clothes or toys and it didn't matter I didn't make every meal with my own hands.
Parenting is an incredibly tough, time-consuming job, so let us at The Baby Pantry help you with your baby's meals. Then you can relax, get back some quality time and make new and happy memories with your family – in hindsight, you'll be pleased you did!

Scares ahead in global trade and markets, but little danger of zombie apocalypse
STOCKS fell slightly last week as the battle royale between the bulls and the bears continued.
This week, a rebound seems likely as the on-again, off-again deals between the US, North Korea and China head back in on-again territory.
Breakthroughs on these negotiations would strengthen the hand of bulls who argue that wobbles in global stocks, bonds and currency values are merely nerves and that stocks will rise for another year, at least.
It sometimes feels that US President Donald Trump has the markets on a leash. Recently, he has jerked the leash in all directions - often at the same time. Last week, he trashed his own diplomats' trade talks with China, yanking the stock market downward. Now, with a dispute over telecom concern ZTE close to resolution, a trade deal seems closer.
Mr Trump rocked markets when he cancelled his summit with North Korea's Kim Jong Un. Now Mr Trump shows signs of relenting on that decision after Mr Kim's administration struck a conciliatory tone.
Your feedback is important to us
Tell us what you think. Email us at email@example.com
Then came Mr Trump's warning to the European nations that he may impose tariffs on imported cars. That would deal a damaging blow to Germany, which exports tens of billions of dollars worth of Mercedes, BMWs, Audis and Volkswagens to the US every year.
While most economists agree that Mr Trump has a point when he criticises Chinese trade policy as unfair, the decision to open a second front in the trade war against Europe is more of what Trump watchers call "a headscratcher".
Tim Shirata, executive vice-president of money manager Guild Investments, however, believes a major trade war is about as likely as a "zombie apocalypse." The money manager said investors who fret about the diplomatic clashes with Germany and China should reread The Art of the Deal.
"The core of that style is to open negotiations with extravagant demands, and even with bluster and intimidation, and then moderate those demands as negotiations proceed," said Mr Shirata in a note to clients. "The hoped-for result is to reach a more advantageous settlement than would have been reached with a more modest opening gambit. "
Mr Trump's approach leads to market volatility, but it's also "one that sometimes produces good results, and sometimes backfires, and we have seen examples of both since January 2017," said Mr Shirata.
Mr Trump is not the only world leader who seems to enjoy keeping markets on their toes. Saudi Arabian and Russian energy officials have indicated they will coordinate an increase in oil production, removing the "caps" that caused oil prices to more than double over the last 18 months.
Oil futures saw one of their biggest plunges since the commodities bust in 2014. As on that occasion, a rout for oil prices could ripple through other commodities markets. Indeed, the Baltic Dry Index, which tracks the price of shipping grains and metals fell sharply last week.
In the meantime, other crises are rumbling on the horizon like distant thunder. Italy looked set to appoint a prime minster who has pledged to either quit the euro zone or extract a hefty discount on its debts from the European Central Bank. Either one could sow chaos in Europe and global financial markets.
Those who are sceptical about the outlook for the bull market, including Lorenzo Di Mattia, manager of hedge fund Sibilla Global Fund, point to brutal selloffs in emerging-markets currencies. Nations like Turkey, Argentina, South Africa and others often have to repay debt in US dollars. When the dollar appreciates rapidly, as it has done in the last six months, investors become skittish about these nations being able to meet their debt payments.
The Turkish lira has fallen to its lowest level against the dollar, stoking inflation fears even as the central bank there imposed an emergency rate hike to shore up the currency.
Volatility in the technology sector also threatens to persist. On Friday, the new GDPR, or General Data Protection Regulation came into force, empowering European regulators to levy fines on tech companies and other Web site operators that break certain rules on protection of customers' private information.
Facebook and Alphabet's Google are vulnerable to fallout from the new European regulation, or potential copycat laws in the US or elsewhere.
Economic data is also somewhat uneven. Orders for goods designed to last three years or more declined in April, according to the Commerce Department, although an underlying measure of business investment advanced.
Both new and used home sales reports revealed a slowdown in housing-market activity, likely related to the increase in mortgage rates.
There was some reprieve on that front last week. The Federal Reserve's minutes indicated officials were likely comfortable with inflation overshooting their targets. That was a surprise twist on assumptions that the Fed was in inflation-fighting mode and pushed the yield on the 10-year Treasury note back below 3 per cent.
Friday's May jobs data could change the outlook for interest rates again. That's why investors will focus on the wage-growth element of the report, which is what the Fed would react to.
"There's this anticipation that, at some point, we are going to see wages moving higher," said Quincy Krosby, chief market strategist at Prudential Financial.
Wage inflation could force the Fed to become more aggressive. That would play into the bear case on everything from emerging markets to US economic growth.
"In our view, the weaker wave is confirming a soft patch rather than signaling a global recession," said economists at brokerage Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Research, in a note to clients.
"The markets have also been jittery: we will be watching confidence indicators for signs of pass through to the real economy. We continue to expect stronger growth in the second quarter, particularly in the US as fiscal stimulus kicks in."

A new YouGov survey shows that 11% of hospitality workers, equivalent to 330,000 staff, are considering leaving the UK because of Brexit, although their managers felt it would be nearer 4% of their staff. 30% of workers expressed concern about their job, with around 86,500 people nationally fearing they would be forced to leave.
Some 3% of managers in the sector are predicting that they will be forced to close their businesses through Brexit, equating to around a £1.1bn loss for the economy.

When all were last at the Road House (12/18/18):
AV Road House finally had it's first commercial break – and then…
The Resurrection (6/21/19) :
Your hosts:
Kym Frank, Corey Moss, Tim Van Woeart, Maura Quinn
Your Guests:
John Greene, Mary Cook, Joe Way, Gina Sansivero, Spence Graham, Christina Cruzeiro, Cristina Lucas
The Road House officially opens again after all were snowed in back in December. Corey begins welcoming the guests to go along with the banter with the hosts and guests – and all Uber fans and foodies will surely enjoy it. First, let's all recount those great Uber rides in Orlando (ha, yeah right), and also find out who on the show is not well liked by the company. As for the foodies, you see, Kym has a brand new Chick-Fil-A that opened near her in New Jersey, and all within a 30 mile radius have flocked there to line up all the way around the corner. The Microsoft Store wants to know how they do it.
Or maybe one friend told another friend and that friend said thank goodness, I was getting really tired of eating Taco Bell. Then all talk about a special chicken sandwich that Kym likes, and no one else wants. Next, that favorite snack of The AV Life – stroopwafels – which you can now get in a McDonalds McFlurry. Gina has actually been waiting for years for her stroopwafel prize from another podcast so many years ago. Good luck Gina, Corey owes about 100 people podcast stroopwafel prizes. Get your stroopwafel at McDonalds.
So on the Resurrection show, we have issues.
Issue #1: InfoComm 2019
Well, it's not really an issue but a happening. Joe begins talking about (err, plugging) his podcast that was done at the show, and that AVaaS thing. Must it really die Joe? We hear the zombie said so. John and Mary also give their perspectives to the conversation. There's also discussion about panels at the show – listen in for this.
Issue #2: Those "highly approachable" booth marketing events consultants (aka booth babes)
BBC News: 'Booth babes' cause controversy at business show
Let's not kid ourselves, trade shows are still huge targets for these agency provided models. Sure, the auto show is always the place you'll see the scantily clad next to the latest Ferrari models – however business and technology shows? Oh, no…
The great women in the tech industry especially deserve the greatest of respect, their hard work and achievements show this. The tech industry continuously looks for more women to join the ranks, but with these booth babes still popping up at trade shows – it's not in line with this message at all. And on top of that, most geeks have trouble talking with "highly approachable" women anyway…
Listen to Cristina, Christina, Mary and Gina here – megapowerful women (all AVIXA Women's Council group leaders) in the AV industry stating the case for all of the amazing women in the industry.
One more thing – booth babes just don't work at tech shows for getting more marketable leads than without them (except CES, but that's a crock in itself). It's been scientifically proven…
Enjoy Part 1, Part 2 is here.

Our vineyard is located on two neighboring municipalities: Castelviel and Gornac. , 45km (28 miles) southwest of Bordeaux, between the rivers Garonne and Dordogne, in the Southern part of the Entre-deux-Mers area.
This beautiful, hilly region, verdant with vines and groves, contains some historical jewels like country houses and abbeys from the 12th century.
We have 29 hectares (72 acres) of vine:
– 20 hectares (49 acres) in red vine (80% merlot, 10% cabernet sauvignon, 5% cabernet franc and 4% malbec)
– 9 hectares(23 acres) in white vine (66% sauvignon blanc, 19% sauvignon gris and 15% muscadelle)
We take also tenant farming of 7 hectares (17 acres) neighboring vines (same soil) of white grape varieties (55% sauvignon blanc, 33% sauvignon gris, 12% semillon).
It is planted on hills 110 and 140 meters high.
Of course, this location is great for quality : plots are well drained and exposure to the sun is better. It is also better to prevent the illness development (mildiou, oidium and botrytis)
Concerning the soil, is composed of alluvium from the Quaternary Period but mostly of clay and limestone. When taking a walk in the village of Castelviel, you can very easily see limestone resurfacing around the 12th-century church.
– The calcareous clay soil of Castelviel enables us to make powerful wines that you can keep for a long time.
– In Gornac, there is slightly less clay – instead we find silica and silt which make for more elegant wines, fruity and most of all with very mature tannins.
For 20 years now, our goal has been selling our production in bottles, independently.
Now, we produce around 1800 hl and we sell around 200 000 bottles per year, divided into 6 appellations:
– Bordeaux rouge,
– Bordeaux supérieur,
– Bordeaux rosé,
– Bordeaux blanc (dry or sweet)
– Entre deux mers (dry white wine)
We are very careful to work seriously and consistently.: respecting quality and a correct price.
If you are interested, do not hesitate to consult "Our Wines"
For over four generations, the Ithier-Buffeteau family has been seeing to the alliance of tradition and technology to get elegant, racy wines with an earthy flavour.
In the beginning, it was a mixed farming in Castelviel. It became an exclusive vineyard with Huguette and Jean-Paul Buffeteau, who bought more vine in Gornac.
Then, Jean-Luc, son of Jean-Paul, came back twenty years ago, after his oenological studies in Bordeaux and 15 years as oenologist and buyer on the Bordeaux merchant place. New projects were born like the complete restructuration of the vineyard (54 acres), the marketing strategy and the renovation of the various wineries.
In 2014, important changes happened:
– we bought 7 hectares (17 acres) of vine in Gornac,
– Claire, the daughter of Jean-Luc decided to work on the estate (principally on administrative tasks),
– and finally we had a project of a new modern stain steel tank winery (capacity : 2000hl). It was finished on September 2015, just right to the Harvest!

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – High technology alerted police to the latest homicide in Jacksonville. Shot Spotter picked up the sound of gunfire in Northwest Jacksonville, that l;ead police to find a man wounded in his car. He died later at the hospital.
Shot Spotter is now part of the real-time crime center in Jacksonville. The $3.1 million investment works to tie in surveillance cameras and microphones to help police track crimes.
In the center, you can hear gunfire from when the man was shot last night. This time there was just sound to help police pinpoint a crime, but now officers can tie in nearby video cameras, which will automatically turn on when gunfire is detected.
Sheriff Mike Williams and Mayor Lenny Curry toured the new crime center, which features 20 cameras plugged into the system, mainly on the Northside.
"It's one of the tools we invested in in the last four years. To see all of this consolidated and coordinated together, it's a building block," Curry said.
According to the sheriff, by the end of the year, 100 cameras will be in place where the majority of crimes occur - downtown, on the Westside at the 103rd Street corrodor and in Northwest Jacksonville.
He said the goal is simple but needed.
"Allowing us to respond quicker, more efficiently. So we get more out of the officers we have by operating more efficiently. And ultimately, getting the bad guys off the street quicker," Williams said.
Eventually, the center will be tied into any internet-based camera, from businesses and homeowners that allow it.
Williams said that expansion will happen soon.

Once again, college football fans have no reason to be unhappy with the way things went on a busy Saturday on the gridiron. For those of you who might have missed some of what happened, here's some brief recaps on some of the Top 25 action, as well as some games of note from outside the rankings:
No need to really talk about #1 Florida or #2 Texas as they ripped right on through their cupcake opponents in Troy and Wyoming, respectively, so let's go right into the game of the week, where #3 USC escaped Ohio Stadium and the eighth-ranked Buckeyes 18-15. This was a game that most people
expected USC to run away with based off of Ohio State's performance last week at home against Navy, but give credit to the Buckeye's defense, which did a great job of containing star RB Joe McKnight until the final drive of the game for the Trojans, where McKnight made several key runs to lift USC to the win. The QB matchup was certainly the big draw to this game, but both Matt Barkley (who's a freshman in case you hadn't heard that enough yet) and Terrelle Pryor failed to deliver fireworks as neither threw a TD pass and they both had 1 INT a piece in a game that was far more defensive than anticipated. That being said, the Trojans maintain their dominance over Big 11 foes.
Again we skip #4 Alabama's waxing of FIU and get right into our upset of the week as the Houston Cougars stung the soon-to-be former #5 Oklahoma
State Cowboys 45-35. After building a surprising 24-7 halftime lead in Stillwater, Houston was outscored 21-0 in the 3rd quarter and the dream seemed dead for a team most remembered for producing Andre Ware in 1991 from their "Fun 'n Gun" offense. However, the Cougs came rallying back on their old Southwest Conference opponent, scoring 21 points in the 4th quarter in a furious rally to pull the upset. The state of Oklahoma might just have to wait until next year for the National Champs to come from their backyards.
Continuing on down the list, no major surprises or scares for Penn State, BYU, Cal, LSU, Boise State, Oklahoma, Va. Tech, or TCU, as they all had relatively easy days handling their FBS or FCS opposition. This allows us to
look right at what was almost the game of the week, as Michigan, in spite of all the turmoil within its program, manages to pull out a last second victory over the #18 Notre Dame Fighting Irish. The story of this game is Tate Forcier, who seems to be the man Rich Rodriguez has been searching for to run his spread offense, as Forcier threw for 240 and two TDs and also ran the ball 13 times for 70 yards and a score. For Notre Dame, Jimmy Clausen was very good, throwing for 336 yards and 3 TDs, but in the end it was not enough. Expect a flip-flop between these two teams being in and out of the Top 25 on Monday.
The game that might have raised the most eyebrows this week had to have been UNC's 12-10 escape of lowly UConn. It wasn't even that UConn stepped up, it was just that UNC looked that bad. The #19 Tar Heels never found any offensive rhythm and needed 12 fourth quarter points, the final 2 coming on a safety on a penalty in the end zone, to get out of Hartford with a W. It calls into question the overall quality of the ACC as a whole. Several teams have looked very soft in the early going, and it might point to a tough year in the bowls for the conference.
The last game in the Top 25 of note this week was #21 Georgia holding off a huge late rally by South Carolina to defend their turf, 41-37. Holding a 38-26 lead in the 3rd quarter, the Bulldogs allowed the Gamecocks to score 11 straight points and creep back to within one at 38-37. However, Georgia's block of what would have been the game-tying PAT was just enough to secure the victory Between the Hedges.
Outside of the Top 25, there were three games that really caught my attention. First was Tennessee's 19-15 loss to UCLA at home. Didn't Lane Kiffin say something about beating Florida this year? I know it's just one game but UCLA is not the class of the Pac-10. I wonder if Kiffin is wanting to take some of the things he said back yet.
Last, but certainly not least, my Cupcakes of the Week Award goes to both the University of Maryland, who narrowly escaped their home opener with a thrilling 38-35 victory over James Madison, and also to the Ball State Cardinals, who went from possible BCS busters last season to losing 23-16 at home to New Hampshire. Listen, I understand that rebuilding years will happen and that sometimes the team just doesn't show up for games against lesser opponents, but if you're bigger budget, higher profile school is getting beaten by teams filled with your recruiting leftovers, then something is very wrong with what you as a college football program are doing. It'll be very interesting to see how the Terps play in the very mediocre ACC this year.
So there it is, another long Saturday in the books for football fans, but not to worry, for the NFL season is upon us! Check back tomorrow night/Monday morning for a recap from Sunday's games and a preview of the Monday Night games.

Making the Decision of Chasing Technology
A recent Article: "Eight Stages of The Commercial Drone Technology", written by Don Weigel for Unmanned Aerial on Line, is absolutely the best article I have come across explaining the evolving technology in the UAS (Drone) Industry:
Why is this article important? There is, I feel, great frustration among the end users of this very rapidly evolving technology–"when do I jump on the train and buy into this technology"? This is a big question because of the very high threshold cost of buying in, only to see your investment dollars erode as the technology marches/leaps forward and acquisition cost get cheaper. As a business manager, the above outlined "Eight Stages" very accurately reflects the morphing of the industry. The question left with the manager is, at what point do we jump in or do we simply subscribe to a service where the evolution is purchased outside through contracting or do we get on the treadmill and bring the technology in house, forcing a division of financial/human resources away from the mainline mission. The answer is not easy and is heavily dependent upon the size of the entity and ability to scale the new technology and cover costs. From my view point the best choice is a heads and tails where you win—Go Contract with the outside and use the emerging technology as a tool in delivering the best deliverable to clients that rely upon your main line expertise. There is not an easy answer but the "Eight Stages" enumerated in this article, go a long way in helping identify where you are at in the cycle and may give you a guide as to what decisions your company needs to make.

My Version of 7 Minutes In Heaven
This is how I'd react if I was forced to play 7 minutes in heaven. And I don't know how it works, so this is how I think it would.
Chapter 1
My Version.
At this point, I ran for the door, only to slam into Samuel.
"Gah!" I exclaimed. "Oh, sorry Sam. 'Scuse me." I tried to sidestep around him, but he followed my motions.
"What's the rush?" he asked.
"I'm going to puke on you," I threatened. Sam stayed put. "I'll puke on you later." I turned around and walked back into the room. Eva called out random names. I was one of the last people called.
"Jade and Sam." I didn't move. Why would I? They can make me play the game, but they can't make me go in the closet. Sam stood. I looked at my nails and began to pick the dirt out from under them. Eva looked at me. I glanced up at her.
"Hello," I said to her.
"Jade, get up."
"I'm good."
"I'm actually pretty comfortable here."
"Wanna go for me?"
"/Jade/." I gulped. Eva was using the scary voice on me. I made a big deal about getting up, falling over a few times. Eva was tapping her foot impatiently. She finally cracked after I fell over the tenth time.
"Every time you fall over, I'll add ten minutes," Eva said. I shot to my feet, racing towards the closet. I just wanted to get this over with. I wedged myself into a corner and armed myself with a coat hanger. When Sam came in and the door shut, I raised the coat hanger out in front of my face.
"Move any closer and I'll whack you to death with this coat hanger." Sam didn't move an inch. I scooched over to the door and leaned against it. Then when they opened it, I'd fall right out. Better than moving. Sam watched me the whole time. It was really annoying.
"Take a picture, it'll last longer," I snapped. Sam jumped. There were some laughs from outside the closet.
"How many more minutes?" I called.
"Three," Eva called back. I turned to Sam.
"You have three minutes to stay in that spot. If you move, I promise I'll whack your brains out." Sam's eyes went wide and he started shaking. After those three minutes were up, I ripped open the closet door and flung myself into the living room. I was still holding the coat hanger. People looked at me and laughed.
"Don't laugh!" I exclaimed. "Why do you people like this game? You're all sick." But that just brought on more laughter. I looked at the kids crowded around the living room.
"Fine," I huffed. "Fine. I'll just take my coat hanger and leave."
"Aw, baby, don't be that way!" some perverted guy in the back yelled. I spun quickly and hurled my coat hanger at him. It smacked him in the face.
"Damn straight," I said, turning and leaving the room. And since that day, Sam hasn't talked to me and neither has that guy I nailed in the face with my coat hanger.

Every Memorial Day weekend, metro Atlantans find numerous ways— from parades to commemorative races — to say thank you to those that lost their lives in the line of duty for this country.
But outside of those honorable, selfless acts, there's a litany of other more self-serving celebrations that take place throughout the weekend to unofficially kick off summer.
There are too many happenings during Atlanta's Memorial Day weekend to completely list, but here are a few favorites that truly mean Memorial Day for the locals.
Atlantans will make a splash for the first time in 2017 Memorial Day weekend. Well, at least the first time they'll be able to at the family favorite Six Flags Over Georgia. The amusement park welcomes summer Saturday with the opening of its beloved waterpark Hurricane Harbor. The waterpark opens at noon sharp, so kids, kids at heart and everyone in between can slide head first into Memorial Day weekend.
Speaking of getting wet, in and out of Atlanta's perimeter, wetsuit good times can be had by all at every local public park beginning this Memorial Day weekend. A dip in the pool is the perfect antidote to the sticky, icky feeling that near 90 degree weather this weekend is sure to bring.

When Atlantans have had enough of the water works, the world-renowned Stone Mountain Laser Show will bring a great reprieve. Lasershow producers will build on last year's enhanced fireworks and flame cannons — which send blazing bursts nearly 100 feet. The Lasershow Spectacular will also feature a specially choreographed musical tribute devoted to the men and women who have served in the military. All the lit up excitement will take place at 9:30 p.m. Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
Credit: Jason Getz
What's as All-American as Memorial Day? The country's favorite pastime - baseball. Though the Atlanta Braves will be playing at an away game Memorial Day weekend, the Gwinnett Braves will host a game at Coolray Field against the Syracuse Chiefs at 1:05 p.m. Monday, May 29.
5 things to bring to a Memorial Day BBQ (besides beer)
There's one thing that likely 99.9 percent of Atlantans (not scientifically proven) will enjoy this weekend that won't require trapsing across town — the classic backyard barbecue. Nothing says Memorial Day weekend like a delectable, grilled burger , a cold one of the alcoholic or non-alcoholic persuasion and making memories with family and friends.

Shopping for curvy women can be difficult at the best of times, but finding workout wear is even harder (apparently, most brands believe that people above a size 16 don't exercise). But that's all about to change thanks to Nike, which has just launched its first plus-size range.
"Nike recognizes that women are stronger, bolder and more outspoken than ever," a spokesperson from the athletic brand explained. "In today's world, sport is no longer something that she does, it's who she is. The days where we have to add 'female' before 'athlete' are over. She is an athlete, period. And having helped fuel this cultural shift, we celebrate these athletes' diversity, from ethnicity to body shape."
If you thought producing a plus-size range was just a case of making bigger versions of existing pieces, you'd be wrong.
"When we design for plus size, we aren't just proportionately making our products larger," said Helen Boucher, vice president of women's training apparel. "That doesn't work because as we know, everyone's weight distribution is different."
Nike has enlisted influencers Grace Victory and Danielle Vanier to front the campaign, shot by JKG Photography.
Nike's plus-size collection ranges from size XL to 3XL and is available in store and online now.

Statement of View:
I believe the major issues before the profession, the association, and in particular, the office for a Nominating Committee Member is ensuring leaders in school nursing today are actively mentoring and supporting emerging school nurse leaders to ensure we have an ongoing "stream of" passionate, dedicated and committed leaders who are forward thinkers to guide the profession, the state and national associations, and thus would be qualified to serve in various NASN offices and on committees. Jack Welch, Former Chairmen and CEO of General Electric once said "Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others." It is with this premise in mind that I believe ensuring we have ongoing school nurse leaders who are qualified and passionate to lead is fundamentally the key to the success of our profession and organization. I believe this should be an ongoing goal of our strategic plan and we should have an intentional focus on fostering and developing leaders. Making sure I am serving as a mentor on a state level is one of my main areas of focus which is why I am interested in serving on NASN's Nominating Committee. Additionally, as NASN members, ensuring we are consistently advocating and sharing the value and importance of our profession and the NASN organization is another major issue that must be continually addressed. This too should be an ongoing goal of our strategic plan and safeguarding the organizations' financial stability. I am passionate and eager to support NASN's mission, vision and strategic plan by participating and being active in a leadership role that helps to advance the organization. I would consider it an honor to serve in this capacity.
This Nominating Committee candidate completed the Nominating Committee process.

Harlan Ellison venting his spleen
I came across this video way back and thought it was pretty amusing.
And it seems really apt today, because I just got an email about Disney India's Pitchkiaow contest. They are looking for 'original' story scripts.
It's supposed to be an 'amazing' opportunity for us Indian writers – until you read the contest terms (PDF file), and particularly the '11. Ownership/Rights' section.
This paragraph in particular is entrancing -
"Each entrant unconditionally assigns and transfers all ideas, concepts, copyrighted materials and trademarks contained in his/her/its Participation and any and all rights including without limitation "moral rights" in his/her/its Participation. Disney shall be entitled to make use of the Participation or any part thereof in such manner as it shall in its sole discretion think fit, including without limitation the right to make changes, alterations, substitutions and additions thereto, deletions therefrom and adaptations and rearrangements thereof and translations into any and all languages for any use, or not used at all. Disney shall also be entitled to use and exploit the Participation in whatever manner, media and format without incurring any liability to any entrant (including without limitation the requirement to pay any compensation in respect of any use or exploitation of the Participation) or making any acknowledgement of the Participation."
So, unless I've got it wrong, you give up 'all rights', including 'moral rights', for perpetuity by just participating in this fabulous contest.
They can take your story and use it, without compensating you in any way.
And even if you win, think about it, Rs. 50,000 (about $1162) is peanuts for conferring Disney with all the rights.
No respect for creative people, that's what this amounts to.
And the sad part is they could have so easily turned this into a win-win opportunity for everyone involved.
Morals from this Story:
- Don't be swayed by a 'Big Name', unless that Big Name is willing to warm your bank account.
- Don't give up all rights, unless you are very adequately compensated.
- Don't enter such contests, unless you happen to have scant respect for both your creativity and your time.

When we see these photos, we know how is the girl's life. And I have to say that I want the same life as her... don't know how to describe her life but seriously, I wish I had this life.
But damn god! You know what? It's time for a change! I'll try to have the same life as her!


text:
As I posted last, we put our house on the market. We had someone look at it almost immediately. They loved the house, that is everything except the den. That ruined it for them.
So I talked to the realtor and she mentioned that it just felt cold in there. No draperies, no rug.. just tile and cold. She was very nice about it, but she was dead on.
It's amazing what you don't notice about a room when you have been living in it for years. I was so glad to get the tile in, the built-in done and the paint, that I never noticed how hard the room looked, especially when you compared it to the rest of the house.
Well, I decided to do something about it. And here is my Thankful Thursday, Memorial Box story and the I love denim part…
About 12 years ago I bought a big bunch of NICE (otherwise known as expensive) denim fabric. I was going to make something important out of it I am sure. Well, it just never seemed to work. Over the years we have moved a bunch of times and I have made literally dozens of pairs of curtains and all sorts of household projects using fabric from my stash. I have even had a garage sale and sold off a lot of fabric. But in all of this, I just couldn't let this fabric go.
Moving to Tuesday and my need for draperies for eight windows. Yes, that's EIGHT windows. And I needed a rug. Talk about a chunk of change that I was going to have to spend to make this room look nice. Off I go to Wal-Mart and I find a nice size, reasonably priced rug, YIPPEE! and I look at drapes, but man, $20 for one window..OUCH! And that's for boring curtains!
So I go home and look through my fabric and there it is.. the DENIM fabric. I take it out and look at it. I have 2 large pieces of it. I measure it and consider it and HALLELUJAH!!! I had enough fabric to make some nice curtains.
In the end, I bought a companion stripe fabric for accent curtains and pillows and spent just under $30 total on fabric. If I had bought curtains like this, I would have spent AT LEAST $40 a window!
So yeah, I am excited. I am so thankful that I was prompted to buy and keep this fabric for just this time. I realize that it's just fabric and just curtains, but the difference is amazing! Even if the house doesn't sell, I am thrilled to see the transformation.
BEFORE: A picture from last year. The furniture is different, but you get the point :)
So while it may seem small to some, I am so THANKFUL that God provided the fabric for the curtains, an inexpensive rug and a totally transformed room!
And, yes, I am keeping a piece of denim for my scrapbook!

Each element (other than the water) of this otherwise great recipe for kids already contains a lot of natural sugar. I made it following directions but found it way too sweet. However it's a good hot day snack so my next try I'll simply omit the sugar. It is not needed and the last thing my gung ho grandson needs.
Feb 18, 2014
This makes a great before or after the gym 'pick-me up' for my husband. Have made with and without addition of water and varried the amount of sugar depending taste. The hardest part is waiting for it to soften a little!

This recipe is absolutely delicious.

If you thought Mariah Carey's time as a trendsetter was over you better think again. Not only has Mariah proved that she is courageous by gracing the 2018 New Year's Rockin' Eve stage after having a difficult performance in 2017, but she kicked off the first meme for 2018. Mariah braved the freezing cold weather in New York and performed three songs live. After finishing her song Vision of Love, Mariah Carey quickly delved into true diva fashion and showed her frustration that there was no hot tea on the stage. The Internet quickly erupted with "hot tea" memes, GIFs, video clips and comments. You may watch Mariah Carey's "hot tea" moment in the video player below.
Mariah Carey quickly became one of Twitter's top trends for New Year's Eve and will most likely continue trending throughout New Year's day. It's unclear whether she would have trended simply for her performance which many say far surpassed her 2017 appearance. But there is no question her "hot tea" moment will carry fans into 2018 and maybe even beyond.
Carey is known for being a diva and with her past reality programs, HSN shopping infomercials, and headline-worthy appearances has a reputation for being a woman who celebrates the luxuries in life. It's hard to imagine that someone wouldn't make certain Mariah Carey's hot tea was on stage ready for her.
After all, the five-time Grammy-Award winner was singing live in near record-breaking weather. The temperature was an icy 10 degrees in New York City and that's not counting the wind chill factor.
Despite the cold, Mariah Carey's performance was well received. Some critics complained because Mariah didn't hit her signature high notes, but we can safely assume that was because she didn't have enough hot tea to lubricate her vocal cords.
You can check out some of the Internet memes that quickly hit Twitter following Mariah's performance below.

It seems that everything Mariah Carey does will go viral and set a new trend.
What did you think about Mariah Carey's performance? Were you surprised that she didn't hit any of her high notes? Are you jumping on the "hot tea" meme bandwagon?

What makes a Tech Support Company Stand Out?
Calling in a tech support company is a great way to get your computer back in working order again if you're having technical difficulties. Not everyone can be great with technology and that's perfectly okay. Tech support companies have your back when your devices stop working the way they should.
Many people are very quick at deciding they need to get professional help, but deciding which company to contact is not as obvious. There are a few features that make one company stand out from the others.
Convenience of remote tech support
If you're working at your desktop and the screen suddenly freezes, what do you do? You could make an appointment and go in to visit your local tech support business, or you could simply make a call and have the work done remotely instead. Many people are surprised when they realize how many problems with their computer can be fixed remotely. With remote services, a representative is able to get access to your laptop or computer from their own office and they can fix everything in front of your eyes without you having to leave your doorstep.
Companies that offer remote work such as Total Tech Care 360 are great because they give you the most convenience you could ask for.
Companies that have experienced personnel on board stand out above others. You know a company has the right staff when they have many great reviews and testimonials online. During the incidents when your computer breaks down, you cannot afford to waste any time. Calling experts who are highly skilled and experienced in tech repair is the smartest move to make because they will be able to resolve any problems you have with relative ease, saving you time and minimizing disruptions to your day.
If you want your device to be repaired in the fastest time possible, then you need to ensure that you are getting great communication from the service you are hiring. Good communication is the main ingredient in speeding up the time it takes to get your electronic device repaired. If a service has open channels of communication, such as an active website, phone number, and email address then hiring them is probably a good option. The faster and better they respond to you the first time, the more confident you can be that they will do a good job in fixing your problems as efficiently possible.
When choosing a tech support company, you need to make sure you are getting the company that cares the most about you and your needs. A service that offers convenience through remote work and also offers highly experienced professionals who are great at communicating is definitely your best bet.

Left-hander Sean Manaea struck out 10, walked two and threw 108 pitches to finish off Oakland's first no-no since Dallas Braden tossed a perfect game against Tampa Bay in 2010.
Sean Manaea might've been the only person at the Oakland Coliseum who didn't realize he was still working on a no-hitter.
After a dropped popup in the fifth inning, the Athletics lefty figured it was over.
"I didn't even think about it until I looked up in the seventh or eighth," Manaea said, "and I was like, 'Oh my God, why is there still a zero on there?'"
Because it was ruled an error. And his shot at history remained intact.
Manaea pitched the first no-hitter against Boston in almost exactly 25 years, with an overturned call on the bases preserving the gem Saturday night in Oakland's 3-0 win over the sizzling Red Sox.
Manaea struck out 10, walked two and threw 108 pitches to finish off Oakland's first no-no since Dallas Braden tossed a perfect game against Tampa Bay in 2010.
Manaea got Hanley Ramirez to ground out to complete the first no-hitter versus the Red Sox since Seattle's Chris Bosio did it on April 22, 1993.
"I just telling myself, keep everything the same, and not let anything get too big for me," Manaea said.
Boston looked as if it had a hit with two outs in the sixth at the Oakland Coliseum. Andrew Benintendi hit a grounder to the right side, tried to dodge a tag by first baseman Matt Olson and was called safe.
After the umpires conferred, Benintendi was ruled out for going wide of the baseline. Benintendi ran onto the grass in foul territory to get around Olson.
"Do I agree with it? No," Red Sox manager Alex Cora said. "It is what it is."
Said Benintendi: "It's just a missed call."
Sandy Leon reached in the Red Sox fifth when A's shortstop Marcus Semien ranged into shallow center field and dropped a popup trying to make an over-the-shoulder catch. The play was scored as an error.
Manaea said he figured it was a hit. A few innings later, he noticed what everybody else already knew — no-hitter in progress.
"So after that, my adrenaline started pumping a little bit again, and I really wanted to finish this thing out," he said.
Manaea (3-2) had been battered by Boston in three previous starts, going 1-2 with a 13.50 ERA.
But the 26-year-old cooled off a Red Sox team that had won eight in a row and 17 of 18. Boston began the game with a major league-best .293 batting average.
Manaea retired 14 straight batters after walking Mookie Betts leading off the game.
A lot of Red Sox fans were in the announced crowd of 25,746, and many rose to their feet when Manaea took the mound in the ninth.
Betts hit a ball to the warning track with one out in the ninth. After Benintendi walked with two outs on a full count, Ramirez hit a grounder to Semien for an easy force play at second.
"My heart was beating out of my chest and I was trying to do everything I could (to stay calm)," Manaea said before he was interrupted by teammates who smeared celebratory shaving cream in his face, dumped water and Gatorade on his head and left him with a plastic bubble gum tub for a hat.
It was the 12th no-hitter by the Athletics franchise and the 12th thrown against the Red Sox.
This was the first no-hitter in the majors since Miami's Edinson Volquez pitched the only one of the 2017 season against Arizona on June 3.
Chris Sale (1-1) struck out 10 and gave up three runs on six hits and one walk in seven innings.

Overuse of antibiotics made Americans more vulnerable to a strain of bacteria that caused nearly half a million infections and contributed to at least 29,000 deaths in a single year, U.S. public health officials warned in research published on Wednesday.
The study by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention focused on the Clostridium difficile bacterium, which can cause deadly diarrhea. The findings, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, highlight how overprescription of antibiotics has fueled a rise in bacteria that are resistant to treatment.
People who take antibiotics are most at risk of acquiring C. difficile because these medications also wipe out "good" bacteria that protect a healthy person against the infection.
"Antibiotics are clearly driving this whole problem," Clifford McDonald, CDC senior advisor for science and integrity, said on a conference call with reporters.
One in every three infections occurred in patients 65 and older, the study found, with more than 100,000 C. difficile cases found in U.S. nursing homes. The bacteria often spreads through the hands and equipment of health care professionals and hospital surfaces rife with bacteria.
The rate of hospitalizations for C. difficile doubled from 2000 to 2010, according to the study, partly due to the emergence of a particularly dangerous strain, NAP1, that is more likely to cause infection in patients.
The data used in the study are from 2011, and the rate of disease was projected to have continued increasing through 2012.
Part of the increase comes from a more sensitive laboratory test that better detects the infection, McDonald said.
Yet much of the problem still lies in poor detection and diagnosis methods, CDC officials said.
In 2010, for example, Brooklyn teacher Peggy Lillis, 56, developed painful diarrhea one morning, her son, Christian Lillis, told reporters.
