I started growing an indoor garden a few weeks ago. I'm not sure what prompted the need for me to buy seeds and try my hands at producing fresh vegetables but I'm glad I made the choice to. I've found that if you have a hobby and you can actively do it day in and day out, it brings a sense of fulfillment to your life. In my case, the routine of turning on the grow lights and making sure the crops have enough water is a nice start to the day and gives me something to look at if I need a break from my computer monitor.
Like any novice farmer, I have to spend some time at least describing my crops. I started out with just a few pots, some potting soil and tomato and sweet pepper seeds. We got a set at Walmart where they were just small clay pots. I didn't really like that concept and probably with good reason because if you really want to ensure your crops grow, you should start them either in the pot you're going to have them in after they've grown or start them in a greenhouse seed starter kit. So I planted cherry tomatoes and cilantro in the greenhouse kit. The tomatoes shot up like crazy and were ready to be transplanted. I took a 3ft pot and placed 6 tomatoes in there. That was probably a mistake since they really should be spaced out more. But after I placed them there I made sure I took care of them well. I got self watering pots where you put the water from below so that the roots would be the first to get soaked in water. I turned on the overhead fan so that I could simulate wind and make the stems even stronger. With all of these things going on, I felt very proud of what I've done.
In the next couple of weeks we ended up adding yellow onions to the mix. The yellow onions I've actually kind of failed at because even with the stem growth, some of the bulbs actually were rotten and so I ended up not having great luck. We added an orchid and another tropical plant which the name of has slipped my mind. This new hobby of mine has really brought a fun addition to my morning routine.
I think the reason why I'm writing about hobbies is because in our busy lives I think it's good to have something that is not work related and not family related in your life. Life is all about giving to others but you do have to take care of yourself as well. By having a healthy hobby such as my gardening or volunteering at a church group or at a homeless shelter, you are giving yourself a chance to be proud of yourself and passionate for something in your life. It's a great way to wind down a day or start up a day.
So if you don't have a hobby or if you haven't been able to keep one going because you're busy, try blocking out part of your day or part of your week towards a hobby. It's definitely something that will make you happy and in turn make others around you happy. It could even be something that helps others unintentionally, like this blog!

On September 9, 2011 sea ice extent dropped to 4.33 million square kilometers (1.67 million square miles). This appears to have been the lowest extent of the year, and marked the point when sea ice begins its cold-season cycle of growth.
This year's minimum was 160,000 square kilometers (61,800 square miles) above the 2007 record minimum extent, and 2.38 million square kilometers (919,000 square miles) below the 1979 to 2000 average minimum. Note that our estimated uncertainty for extent is plus or minus 50,000 square kilometers (about 20,000 square miles). The minimum ice extent this year is very close to 2007, and indeed some other research groups place 2011 as the lowest on record. At this point, using our processing and sensor series, the 2011 minimum is a close second.

Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B (Recombinant) VaccineOther Names: Twinrix, combined HAV and HBV vaccine, hepatitis A and B virus vaccine Drug Class: Opportunistic Infections and Coinfections
What is Twinrix?
Twinrix is a vaccine approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to prevent infection caused by hepatitis A virus (HAV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) in adults 18 years of age and older. HAV infection and HBV infection are HIV-related opportunistic infections. An opportunistic infection is an infection that occurs more frequently or is more severe in people with weakened immune systems—such as those living with HIV—than in people with healthy immune systems. To learn more about opportunistic infections, read the AIDSinfo What is an Opportunistic Infection? fact sheet. To learn how HIV and HBV infection are connected, read the AIDSinfo HIV and Hepatitis B fact sheet.
The Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Opportunistic Infections in HIV-Infected Adults and Adolescents, prepared by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the HIV Medicine Association of the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA-HIVMA), includes recommendations on the use of Twinrix in people with HIV.
What should I tell my health care provider before receiving Twinrix?
Before receiving Twinrix, tell your health care provider:
- If you are allergic to yeast, any other ingredients in Twinrix, or any medicines. Tell your health care provider if you have ever had any reactions to a previous dose of the vaccine or to any other hepatitis A and hepatitis B vaccines.
- About any medical conditions you have or have had, for example, diabetes or liver problems.
- If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. Whether Twinrix can harm an unborn baby is unknown, and Twinrix should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed. Talk to your health care provider about possible risks with taking Twinrix when pregnant.
- If you are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. Do not breastfeed if you have HIV.
- About other prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins, nutritional supplements, and herbal products you are taking or plan to take. Twinrix may affect the way other medicines or products work, and other medicines or products may affect how Twinrix works. Ask your health care provider if there are interactions between Twinrix and the medicines you take.
Ask your health care provider about possible side effects from Twinrix. Your health care provider will tell you what to do if you have side effects.
How is Twinrix given?
A health care provider gives the Twinrix vaccine. The vaccine is injected into a muscle in the arm. Vaccination with Twinrix is usually given as a series of either three or four vaccine shots over a 6- to 12-month period. Read any printed information that your health care provider gives you about the hepatitis A and hepatitis B (recombinant) vaccine.
Where can I find more information about Twinrix?
More information about the hepatitis A and hepatitis B (recombinant) vaccine is available:
- Recommendations on the use of the hepatitis A and hepatitis B (recombinant) vaccine in people living with HIV, from the Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Opportunistic Infections in HIV-Infected Adults and Adolescents, prepared by CDC, NIH, and IDSA-HIVMA.

Your blog or website can be significantly more relevent if the right steps are taken. You need to use the correct title and back links in order to drive traffic to your blog or website. This article discusses the best known ways of increasing traffic to a blog or website.
Things You Will NeedInternet connection.
Step 1
Use the correct title with keyword rich phrases. You need to analyse your title before clicking the submit button. You need to do a personal search to asses competition and decide what keywords best describe your article. Choose a title that's not that common, but not so rare that no one searches for it. Try to keep your title straightforward, simple, and unique. You want to catch the reader's eye as they skim through the competition.
Step 2
Create quality content and do grammar checks. Grammar checks are necessary for a high-ranking. Your content must also have relevant information that people can use. Don't use constant run ons in your content and keep it simple and straightforward. You don't want to use words that are too complex for an audience to understand.
Step 3
Put your site on social bookmarking sites. Sites like Xomba and Digg are famous for they're ability to generate traffic for you. All you have to do is add your article or blog and watch the traffic trickle in. You will also increase your page rank because of the back links.
Step 4Create a quality introduction that grabs attention. Next to your title, your introduction determines success or failure. If you have a boring and low quality introduction, the readers are likely to click backspace. You also want your introduction to be no larger than 200 words. You want to keep them on the page but you don't want your introduction to make or break your site's success on that topic.
Step 5Create a lot of content. Sites like google will rank your site according to many factors, and one of them is the amount of content you have related to that search. A site with 100 pages of content is more likely to rank highly than a site with only 75 pages of content.
Step 6
Don't be too colorful and unique with your sites colors. I'm not saying you should dull your website down, but you want your readers to be able to clearly read your content without much eye strain. So try to be as concervative as possible with your text and background colors.Array

Photos of Nikolaj Sotskov are unique in that a record number – 20 times became the "Photo of the day" on Yandex. Unbelievable? But it's true.
That's what tells the author: "In those days, when I started taking pictures with a digital soap ", I was faced with the problem of positioning the photographs. All somewhere post their photos, share them … Someone suggested to create an account on "Yandex", and that was done".

Wonderful family vacation!
Our family of 4 and my parents had a wonderful time at Bearfeet! I loved the personal touches of each room, the multiple fireplaces and the flatscreens in every bedroom. The kitchen and dining area were perfect for family dinners and games in the evenings. My kids spent a ton of time in the hot tub and I could comfortably hang out with them while sitting on the soft cushion patio seats while reading on the deck! We also enjoyed playing pool upstairs and the cozy basement for watching DVDs together. For a few questions we had, Donna was easily accessible by text or phone and helped answer our questions quickly and efficiently. We would definitely recommend this cabin and hope to come back to Bearfeet for future stays in the Smokies! Thank you, Donna, for such a wonderful vacation!by Claire S. Submitted Date of Stay:
Great experience at Bear Feet
This cabin was perfect for our family trip to Gatlinburg and the Smokey Mountains. We loved Bear Feet Cabin and its' wonderful location! It is perfectly situated near downtown Gatlinburg and had easy access to the highway! The cabin was in pristine condition with many amenities!
We especially loved the three bedrooms, hot tub, large kitchen table and three wonderful decks and front porch with comfortable furniture. The parking is the BEST in the whole entire community! The bath towels are plush and folded to perfection! Plus many cooking items, outdoor grill and plenty of dishes!
Our family chose to do white water rafting (Rafting in the Smokies) and drove to Asheville, NC to see Biltmore Estate. The cabin is located in a great place to easily get to the interstate to take you to these spots!
Donna was a huge help when I had questions and suggested some delicious places for our family to eat locally as well! I highly recommend this cabin to others. Understand it is in a cabin community with others close by, but still offers privacy!by Terry J. Submitted Date of Stay:
Homey and Comfortable
We loved our cabin vacation! Everything we needed was there. The 8 of us had plenty of room and privacy when needed. My 2 teenage granddaughters spent most of their time up in the loft and slept up there. The pool was just around the corner and we were a short drive from Gatlinburg. Donna was wonderful and readily available when needed. It was great being together with family to watch and celebrate our Cleveland Cavaliers' victory! Thank you Tom and Donna for sharing your beautiful cabin with us.by Virginia T. from Grafton, Ohio. Submitted Date of Stay:
Beautiful cabin in the Smoky Mountains
We really enjoyed our stay! The cabin is beautifully decorated in bear motif down to the smallest details. We had 7 of us (5 of us in the early 20s and then mom and dad) and found that there was plenty of space for all of us to spread out. The 3 levels worked well as my husband and I went to bed earlier in the master bedroom downstairs, while the younger ones had fun playing pool in the upstairs loft later in the evening. My husband liked to go to the family room in the lowest level to watch TV in the evening (a mancave thing), while the rest of us tended to congregate around the kitchen/dining room area for video games and cards in the evening. During the day when possible, we would try to spend some time out on the balconies, but we were mostly out sightseeing, so didn't spend as much time out on the many balconies as we wanted to. I think the most balcony time was spent on the lowest level balcony with the hot tub and comfy outdoor furniture- both in the morning and evening. The upper balcony was best for catching some sun and reading on the lounging chairs. The bedrooms were nicely decorated and the beds were all very comfortable, including the 2 futons in the upstairs loft. The main level balcony was a great spot for dining outside as well as playing cards/board games. As far as shopping goes, there is a grocery store very close to the cabin to stock up on groceries and the cabin is only about 5 minutes from downtown Gatlinburg. The cabin is also situated right in the midst of the arts and crafts community. Driving to the Smoky National Park was only about a 10 minute drive for some hiking. The cabin is in a perfect location! Though there are neighboring cabins, we never felt a lack of privacy (and we are people that like our privacy!) due to all the trees and different levels of each balcony, plus each cabin is uniquely nested into the hillside/mountain. So great place to stay for a great price!! We will be back :)by Christa T. Submitted Date of Stay:
Great Cabin!
If you want to experience a home away from home then you need to check out this cabin. Donna and Tom were a pleasure to deal with, in fact so much so My wife and I booked this cabin for next year. The owners thought of everything from ease of checking in to the Christmas decorations they really go out of their way to make you feel you were at home the only thing you need to bring is groceries and your clothes oh! and your travel plans. I would give our stay a 5 Star rating. Thanks Tom and Donna for a real cabin living experience.by Al & Jeana M. from Pensacola, FL. Submitted Date of Stay:

Built around compelling and unique verité footage of one of the world's most influential spiritual leaders of the modern era, IYENGAR is both an intimate look at B.K.S. Iyengar's personal yoga practice, and an exploration of how his students—an orphan, a priest, a murderer—use yoga to transform their lives.
Award winning filmmaker Jake Clennell brings a scrupulously nonjudgmental eye to yoga and rarely seen aspects of life in India.

Tarek Pertew is the Co-Founder and CCO of Wakefield, which publishes a widely-read digital magazine on startups. Tarek is also the creator of Uncubed, Wakefield's wildly popular tech event and one of the largest Startup event series in the US. The Makegood recently spoke with Tarek about Uncubed, and how it is very different from the typical "job fair".
The Makegood: Uncubed is a very different kind of event, where startups and recruiters gather in a less formal, more approachable way. Why did you decide to create this environment, and how is it more effective than a traditional "job fair" environment?
Everyone involved with Uncubed hates the term "Job Fair." We don't want to be even remotely associated with it. If there were an event with 50 tech companies and it was called a job fair, I would go so far as to say we aren't even competitive — that's how different I believe we are.
We have simply created a fun gathering of hiring startups and thoughtful, talented attendees. We wanted to create a place where the best places to work would come and show themselves off. We also wanted a place where self-selection would bring in more of a "dreamer & doer" than someone looking for a job. We appreciate the time these folks spend with us, so we do our best to make the event jam-packed with rich content as well — skills classes, discussions with founders and early tech employees, and some networking.
The Makegood: How has Uncubed run in the past? Will this year's event be different from previous years?
At each event we try do a few things:
1. Strengthen the core of the event — companies, attendees and content.
2. Add some novelty. This year we'll have a skate-park with pro skateboarders for instance. More companies will do wild things — we have a puppy run, a CEO dunk tank, Kegs & Karaoke, etc.
3. Add more pre & post event value — Pre-event cocktail reception for employers and our job board for attendees
The Makegood: How does the music, drinks, art, and contests play into the event? Do these aspects help encourage people to discover and create meaningful connections?
Of course. Think about how creative you feel in a quiet, smelly library, where the creative process is hidden between hard-bound cardboard. At Uncubed, the creative process is out in the open with musicians playing music, artists painting and companies showing off their products and culture. You'll feel more creative, you'll feel energetic and "in the mood," if you will.
The Makegood: What sort of technology is implemented at the event? What is Uncubed's presence on social media before, during, and after the event?
We've used the DoubleDutch app in San Francisco to create more in-event interactions. We use projection mapping at NYC to have a live showing of current conversations and fun media. We'll always encourage and see aggressive use of Twitter & Instagram (with hashtag #Uncubed) to push to the world what people are experiencing at Uncubed. However, I'd say this is an area where we hope to add a bunch more tech to create an even more robust experience (think robots). The biggest issue here is cost. As a bootstrapped company, we are limited by what we can do.
The Makegood: How will you be conducting the event in the future? Are there any goals you have in mind for future events?
We've been growing Uncubed for almost three years and it is showing no signs of slowing. There are thousands of young, growing companies out there that people haven't heard of before. Our mission is to change that, and that leaves us with a lot of work on our hands! Our goals for future events would be to do a better job creating an online experience to go with the event before, during and after. Also to create better matching for companies and attendees, there will be interaction between content creators and the audience, and follow-up, ratings, etc. after the event.

The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum received an unusual donation last Christmas: a photo album taken during the last year of Auschwitz. But unlike all our other images of Auschwitz, which show the horrors visited on the camps' victims, this one shows the perpetrators at play. It's mind-bending to see images of brutal killers (amongst whom you'll find images of Mengele) singing songs together, frolicking in the rain, gathering for convivial drink fests, and otherwise enjoying ordinary life.
This album is a reminder, as I noted here, that one of the worst aspects of the Holocaust, for those in the West, is that the perpetrators were people just like us. We can't distance ourselves from them simply by saying that they were twisted primitives from an alien culture. They weren't. They were the product of one of Western Civilization's highest cultures and, even as they were burning the dead bodies of the millions they murdered, they kept on living their ordinary lives — sometimes within a mile or two of the smokestacks.

Young Americans and Hope for the Future »
William Watkins | Wednesday June 7, 2017 at 3:30 PM PST | Comments Off on Young Americans and Hope for the Future
Bob Higgs, in a recent post on all the foolishness in American higher education, reminds us of what a danger we face as our colleges attempt to mold students into young Jacobins. In light of the state of American education, we need some bright spot on what is a dismal landscape. One bright spot...

It will soon be a smoother ride for motorists along the Newell Highway undergoes a $1.7 million repair at West Wyalong.
A Roads and Maritime Services spokesperson said work involves removing and replacing areas of the road surface with asphalt.
But, the most important question: Will it affect your run to and from work?
To reduce the impact on commuters, the works are being carried out at night everyday between 6pm and 6am.
"Work will be carried out in sections, with traffic detoured around the work zones for the safety of workers and motorists. All heavy vehicles will be detoured onto the Heavy Vehicle Alternative Route, from the Newell Highway onto Showground and Compton roads and then back in to Newell Highway.
"Roads and Maritime will make every effort to reduce the impact on road users and thanks the community for their patience while this important road improvement work is carried out.
"Motorists should plan ahead, allow extra time for their journeys and follow the direction of traffic control and all signs."
Work is expected to be completed by 20 April.

New Welding Technology Program Admission Criteria
Established in 1984, Ferris State University's nationally recognized Welding Engineering Technology program is the largest of its kind in the United States. Since its inception the program has had major revisions in response to constituent feedback. The program is designed to produce plant-level welding engineering technology graduates who are involved in the concept, design and engineering of weldments and implementation of welding processes. This overall knowledge of weldments and the ability to engineer welding and joining systems produces graduates who are in great demand and highly compensated.

Today's cookies are not just day 5 cookies, they are my cookie swap cookies. When I saw the Great Food Blogger Cookie swap through Love and Olive Oil. I signed right up. How cool was this idea, a cookie swap across two countries. It is crazy. It is a great to meet new bloggers and find new amazing blogs. The best part 3 dozen different cookies showed up at my door. I got so excited every time a box arrived I ripped it open immediately
These are the cookies I received :
1) Haystack Butterscotch Cornflake Cookies from K&K Test Kitchen
2) Nutella Coconut Haystack Cookies from Cravings of a Lunatic
3) Pistachio Cranberry Biscotti from The Bold Baker
The tricky thing with sending cookies across the country is you have to make sure they will hold up and not fall apart. I also wanted to choose something that wouldn't go stale, knowing the mail could take longer than I wanted. I have never made florentines before but always have wanted to try them. They have so many amazing attributes - fruit, nuts and caramel.
(Adapted from Cuisine Holiday Cookies)
- 3/4 cup (6 oz0 unsalted butter
- 3 egg yolks, room temperature
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup gluten free all purpose
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp orange zest
- 3 oz unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 cup sliced almonds
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup dried apricots or dried cherries
- 1 tsp orange zest
- 1/2 cup bittersweet or semi sweet chocolate
1) Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 10 inch square pan with parchment and spray with non stick spray.
2) In a large bowl or mixer bowl beat together butter and egg yolks until combined, a few minutes. Add brown sugar and 1 tsp zest until light and creamy.
3) Add flour and salt and blend until just combined. Spread the dough in to the pan with an offset spatula. Bake crust until golden, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack.
4) Make the filling: Heat butter, sugar, cream and honey over medium heat. Continue to cook until a candy thermometer reaches 240F, about 5 minutes.
5) Remove from heat and stir in almonds, zest and dried fruit. Pour over cooled crust. Bake 15 minutes @ 350F.
6) Allow bars to cool on a wire rack. Ensure bars are completely cool before cutting. Sliced in your desired size and shape.
7) Heat the chocolate over a double boiler until completely melted and smooth. Drizzle over bars through a piping bag or loosely with a fork.
I hope all my recipients liked the Florentines. I sure did. Chewy, crunchy and sweet, these cookies are the entire package. I made two batches of these. One with dried cherries and dried cranberries and one with dried apricots and dried cranberries. I mailed a mix of both to each person. If you are not a huge fan of orange zest, leave it out. This can be a strong taste.
A huge THANK YOU to Julie and Lindsay for organizing the cookie swap and to the three ladies who sent me awesome cookies. I can't wait to see all of the cookies people made and I look forward to next years,

Anyone got any besides the ones on rcdb.com and ridezone? I'm looking for as many photos as possible, I know there aren't alot out there, but figured someone here might have some. Or even photos of the Pinfari Z78 ( Himalaya) that operated at Luneur park in Rome, Italy.
About a year ago I came across some nice shots of a similar (perhaps mirror image) of the Dutchman, I had them saved but my computer crashed since and I've lost those and can't remember where I found them.
If anyone has anything please post a link or send a PM.

I have set a deadline of the end of January for deciding what jobs I will apply for after this one, and need some help. Have at it.
2 comments:
Top 10 suggestions for Nick to do the rest of his life:
1. Be true and honest with himself. Follow HIS heart. Do what HE loves.
2. Call his Mother
3. Continually remind his Grandmother NOT TO WORRY about him!
4. Be kind and generous to a fault to all that cross his path.

Is this what you had in mind Boogie? Have an awesome time with Mike, but I seriously question the clean the toilet item on your list. Did Mike ever do that!?!? I didn't think so.
- December 20, 2007 at 3:52 PM
I was going to suggest that you do with the rest of your life the same thing you always try to do with the rest of your life: try to take over the world, but maybe you should really call your mother.

"Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance."

Whatever your festivities, traditions, or hopes for the future, may it be one filled with learning and love!
And if, by chance, you are looking to add charitable giving to your resolutions, by all means visit our website and watch a video here!
Or see our video by clicking the photo here.
Big thanks to this month's donors! Most notably, the Strawn Family and three anonymous contributors (you know who you are!) whose donations are literally making this trip a reality.
From our hearts and to yours: Thank you.
As a substitute for not actually traveling to such stunning locations ourselves, the film will have to suffice until Colombia calms down a bit.
Ironically, like Daniel before me, all of the images I captured for all of Ecuador are likely gone forever, by a turn of bad luck. I was so devastatingly upset, going from bus station to office trying to discover if any Good Samaritan had returned my treasure.
So you will regrettably see no images of mine from this really awe-inspiring place. It was so photogenic, honestly one of my visual favorites of the entire trip thus far, and I was quite heart-broken to learn that the memory card was no longer with us…
Tropical Guayaquil is a water city, straddling a large river that meets the Pacific. We stayed with Rudolfo (and two of his Argentinean friends, Sebastian and (yet another) Daniel), an ever-smiling and very enchanting man who showed us sights and granted us a look at life in the city. Views from densely populated hilltops crowned with lighthouses, theme-park like river walks, and city centers entirely and literally crawling with hundreds of full-grown iguana lizards (basking on benches, lawns, trees, and humans too lazy or terrified to move them) were only a few of the delights he made available to us.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
There is more to see than a post has room for!

Tsars is an indie rock band out of the UK, who formed early this year in London. This four-piece outfit shows uncanny chemistry, given their short time together.
The Whisper EP is full of bright, jangly guitars and active beats that are reminiscent of early Libertines. The title track starts off frenetically and then shifts to a more placid, pensive pace. Reflections is the brightest and most accessible track on the album, and one worthy of air play on BBC 6. Hard Times Ahead broods, but maintains the bouncy rhythms that are characteristic of this band. The darkest track on the EP is Coma, which plods along pensively until the break, when a fantastic climax of drums and crunchy guitars assaults your ears.
Go get an ear full of Tsars this Friday.

Happy Friday, Y'all! Stay dry, NC…we're in for it tomorrow.

Whenever I see pastel pink appliances, I'm instantly reminded of Barbie's Dream House. But pink has another, more grown-up side to it. Take this sultry little number by Gaita Interiors, which combines the energy, glamour, and exoticism of Bollywood with traditional shaker cabinetry and contemporary finishes.
But how do you keep pink from becoming too saccharine or too precious? The answer seems to lie in incorporating hefty doses of neutralizing black, white, stainless steel, and concrete. The above examples were selected for their sophisticated take on this complex color. Pink may still be too girly for some, but it needn't be childish.

Adidas school Fun Run
Yesterday at 12.00 midday we went to the Fun Run to fund-raise money for the school. We raced each other as we ran. I decided to team with Lizzy. As I got tired Lizzy dragged me along. We got a drink at the 2nd lap.Lizzy and I ran as fast as our legs could take us. Through Collins Cresent we ran. Lizzy soon got tired. We had a 5 second stop."Three laps done 2 to go!" we said to ourselves. As fast as lightning we ran to finish our 4th lap."My leg is aching!" I shouted as I ran trying to keep up with Lizzy. We made a 90 degree turn around each corner. WOOSH!" Nearly there!""Yes! We did it " I shouted happily. "And we came 10th too!" Lizzy and I lay on the ground. We were trying to sleep. Zzzz! Soon we were woken up so we could eat a spectacular sausage sizzle. I put lots of tomato sauce. I sat next to Lizzy and enjoy and enjoyed my SPECTACULAR lunch. Yummy! At the end of the day I was exhausted but it was PHENOMENAL!!!!
We went swimming at Haleybury! This is my swimming video I made on Bookcreator on the ipads.
London part 2
The next day we went to STONE HENGE. We went to a diffrrent hotel to get a bus to STONE HENGE. It took us 2 hours and 30 minutes. When we got there we got a audio that told us about the secrets and historical items in the circle of STONE HENGE. WE went on another mini bus to see the actual STONE HENGE. I saw some Poppys and the STONE HENGE! The audio told us to press some numbers for more historical information, like 100,2,3,31,32,33,4,41,42,43 and 5. We climbed on the bus to get fish and chips for a late lunch and a early dinner .
In the morning we had a wonderful breakfast at the hotel. Then we got a taxi to the airport called the BRITISH AIRWAYS. When we went into security. My brother ,Kyle had to take his shoes off. When we boarded the plane we looked at the rows carefully to see which row we were sitting at. I ate a ham and turkey wrap on the plane and I drank some apple juice too!

It was very dark and scary.

Seriously a Singaporean eating Paris food? Then we finally went back to the apartment. We are eating ice cream now and watching TRON because TRON is the only English movie.

Hi 2FS
Hello guys. My family is in Pamplona, Spain. Right now we are at Hotel Yoldi. It is 7am. I know that you are all in school, and if you are wondering why it is 7am over here, it is because of the different time zones and we are 8 hours behind you. I've just eaten breakfast. I don't have much to do because we don't have any toys to play with and the T.V we can't understand the language. It is7:30 now. I hope you are having fun at school!

|Israel and US against Hamas
Buoyed by US support, Israel presses drive against Hamas
Israeli Army Radio quoted senior officials as saying "the war against Hamas will now be pursued without quarter and no limit exists on hitting its leaders, including Sheikh Ahmed Yassin," its blind, wheelchair-bound spiritual guide.
The report said security forces had developed a plan to take on Hamas several months ago, but it had been put on hold during discussions over the internationally drafted Middle East peace roadmap.

Opinion Pieces
Fix the Jobs-Killing Tax Code
By Paul Ryan
No other reform would inspire as much confidence because no other policy is as big a drag on our economy. Today, the tax code is about four million words long. Taxpayers spend six billion hours a year just figuring out how to comply. But the tax code is more than confusing; it's also unfair. Riddled with over $1 trillion in loopholes, the current code punishes free enterprise and rewards political influence. And to top it all off, we impose high marginal tax rates—including the highest corporate tax rate in the industrialized world—which are nothing more than barriers separating working families from job creators.
Instead of pushing people out, we should bring people in. True tax reform would both broaden the base and lower the rates, so small businesses would have room to grow and job creators would come back to our shores. Economist Glenn Hubbard says tax reform could boost economic growth by anywhere from half to a full percentage point a year over a decade. And if economic growth were just half a percentage point larger, the federal government would save an additional $1.57 trillion over 10 years. Only by paying down our debt and growing our economy can we create jobs and increase take-home pay. Only then can we expand opportunity for all.
To pass such a vital reform, after years of gridlock, would show the country that Washington can still get something done. And our country would show the world that, 125 years since The Wall Street Journal began, "free markets and free people" is still the way to go.
Rep. Ryan, a Republican, is chairman of the House Budget Committee.

Sen. Kyle McCarter and Rep. Dwight Kay Endorse SB2499
For Immediate Release
Oct. 13, 2011
Union Leadership Draining Millions from Public Pensions
Sen. Kyle McCarter and Rep. Dwight Kay endorse reform measure (Senate Bill2499)
Metro East, IL. — State Sen. Kyle McCarter and State Rep. Dwight Kay called on the General Assembly to close the sweetheart pension loopholes that have allowed union leadership to drain tens of millions of dollars in retirement pensions from rank-and-file public employees.
The pension abuse was first identified in Chicago, where a union leader was re-hired for one day at the City of Chicago and then retired with a $158,000 city pension.
"If taxpayers are on the hook for your pension, you should be doing work for the taxpayer," said Rep. Dwight Kay (R-Glen Carbon). "Our pensions are severely under-funded, but the liability for retirees is taxpayer-guaranteed. Abuse should be curbed immediately."
However, pension abuse at the state level looms even larger.
Up to $47 million from the Teachers' Retirement System (TRS) has already been paid to leaders of the National Education Association (NEA), Illinois Education Association (IEA), Illinois Federation of Teachers (IFT), and Illinois Association of School Boards (IASB) who are not government employees.
"Government pensions should go to government workers, period," said Sen. Kyle McCarter (R-Lebanon). "The pension system for the hard-working teacher and public servant is being drained by insiders with special pension privileges. Senate bill 2499 would protect our public employee pensions from politically-connected insiders."
The two legislators said private, non-profit organizations and unions exert so much muscle in Springfield that they've literally written themselves into the government's pension code. Senate Bill 2499 would end the pension loophole.
"Union leaders who are not government workers are draining millions of dollars from the hard working rank-and-file public employee's pension system each year. This is flat out unacceptable for taxpayers and for public employees," said Adam Andrzejewski, founder of the non-profit watchdog group, For the Good of Illinois.
For the Good of Illinois has created an online portal focusing on government transparency at www.openthebooks.com, which posts the pay and pensions of virtually every public employee at every level of Illinois government. The state-level pension abuse was discovered by citizens using the portal.
According to the group, the second highest Illinois teacher pension ($20,200 per month) goes to the former President of the NEA (in Washington, DC). It's based on his union salary, not his Illinois elementary school teacher pay.
Collectively, thirty-four retired union leaders pull-out nearly $340,000 per month in Illinois teachers' retirement pensions. Twenty-one of them have already collected more than $1 million individually.
Additionally, For the Good of Illinois also found three of the top six largest pensions in the municipal retirement fund are paid to retirees from non-profit, non-government organizations:
• Park District Risk Management Association ($20,125 per month)
• Illinois Association of Park Districts ($18,436 per month)
• Illinois Municipal League ($15,076)
The group said it appears the organizations participated in end-of-career salary spiking to maximize the government pensions.
McCarter and Kay said Senate Bill 2499 would stop non-governmental employees from access to all public pension systems, adding that support for the reform legislation should be bi-partisan and unanimous.

So I was working an 8 hour shift in these adorable, super uncomfortable heels a while back and trust me… you better believe I was dying to get those babies off ASAP! Well, I woke up the next day to find that my my big toenail had this ugly, dark reddish color through out part of it…… you better believe I was like WTF!
Well… it's still there…………. 5 months later, so I decided to do a little bit of research and write a little piece about it. Most articles I read about bruised nails noted pain as a symptom. Mine isn't painful… it's just really ugly lol so I honestly can't say it bothers me too much. I'm just not too keen of showing my nails in public..
Here's what I found. I hope it's useful 🙂
I'll throw some pictures of my nail up soon, so stay tuned!
What is a bruised nail?
(it was the prettiest picture I could find, this is not my feet btw)
Also known as subungual hematoma, runners toe, or tennis toe; a bruised nail is a collection of blood found underneath a toenail or fingernail.
How do you get a bruised nail?
A bruised nail is commonly caused from downward pressure or horizontal separation from the nail plate to the nail bed. This repetitive, traumatic injury leads to bleeding and pulling of blood underneath the toe nail plate. Clinically, it is characterized by the reddish-blackish discoloration. Bruised nails are also associated with tight fitting shoes and insufficient toe room.
How do you cover up a bruised nail?
Dark nail polishes are the way to go, honey.
How to treat a bruised nail?
In minor cases where most of the nail is attached, the body will naturally take care of this through the process of nail growth. The nail will grow out, and new nail will grow in to replace it. If there is no pain associated with the bruised area, there's more than likely no need for treatment. In more serious cases, the nail has a tendency to fall off. You should apply a bandage to stop it from falling off completely. If your nail is completely black, it will fall and in about 5 weeks, a new one will begin grow. During this process, it's best to keep the bare skin covered with a clean bandage in order to prevent an infection and any unwanted pain. In worst case scenario (WARNING, this is GROSS), massive amounts of liquid (often puss) get trapped under the nail bed. When it's finally released, it tends to leave behind a nasty infection. If this is you, GO SEE DOCTOR ASAP! It only goes downhill from there…
How to prevent future bruised nails?
To help reduce the chances of getting anymore bruised nails, cut a lemon and use the lemon juice to rub on your nails. This helps because the natural enzymes contained in lemons will actually strengthen your nail. Also, it's advisable to stop smoking. Cigarettes weaken the nail and take away it's natural color, leaving it yellow and uglyyy.

U.S. stocks were mostly higher in early trading Thursday, helped by a report that showed the number of people seeking unemployment benefits remains at a multi-year low. Hewlett-Packard rose after reporting better results.
KEEPING SCORE: The Dow Jones industrial average was up 67 points, or 0.4 percent, to 17,047 as of 10:40 a.m. Eastern. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose five points, or 0.3 percent, to 1,991. The Nasdaq composite rose three points, or 0.1 percent, to 4,529.
JOBS, JOBS, JOBS: Claims for unemployment benefits, which are a proxy for the number of people who lost their jobs and are looking for work, fell by 14,000 last week to 298,000. The less-volatile four-week average was 300,750, below the average before the Great Recession.
BANK LAWSUITS: Bank of America rose 28 cents, or 2 percent, to $15.81 after the company announced it had reached a $16.65 billion settlement with the Justice Department over its sale of mortgage-backed securities in the months leading up to the financial crisis. The settlement is by far the largest deal the Justice Department has reached with a bank over the 2008 mortgage meltdown.
FED MINUTES: Investors were looking over minutes from the U.S. Federal Reserve's last meeting. The minutes, released late Wednesday, showed that a majority of Fed policymakers believe the U.S. economy is improving enough for the central bank to start raising interest rates sooner than previously thought. The debate on when the Fed should begin increasing rates, which have been near zero since 2008, has intensified in recent months as the Fed winds down its other economic stimulus.
YELLEN'S SPEECH: On Friday, Fed Chair Janet Yellen will give a speech at an annual conference of central bankers and other policymakers in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. It will be closely watched by markets for clues to her thinking on the timing of interest rate hikes.
BLACK INK JET: Technology giant Hewlett-Packard rose $1.63, or 5 percent, to $36.75 after the company reported better-than-expected results and its first sales increase in nearly three years. HP has been undergoing a multi-year restructuring under CEO Meg Whitman, who has been laying off employees and cutting back businesses that aren't profitable.
A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS: Dollar General, Dollar Tree and Family Dollar were all down in early trading. On Thursday, Family Dollar rejected Dollar General's unsolicited $9 billion buyout offer, citing antitrust concerns. Also weighing on Family Dollar's decision was a deal Family Dollar reached with smaller discount retailer Dollar Tree last month. Dollar Tree fell 70 cents, or 1.3 percent, to $54.29, Dollar General fell 31 cents, or 0.5 percent, to $63.46 and Family Dollar fell 11 cents, or 0.1 percent, to $79.70.
BONDS AND ENERGY: Benchmark U.S. crude for October delivery rose 40 cents to $93.84 a barrel in New York. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note dipped to 2.42 percent from 2.43 percent the day before.

Three charming alpacas from Shadow Pines Farm (Exeter, RI), enjoyed making a public spectacle of themselves outside of Eneri Knits last weekend.
And here is yesterday, in Falmouth, MA:
|No matter how inconspicuous an LYS may be, I can usually find it... Sage Yarns in Falmouth has a reasonable selection o' stuff.
|K, my pal in Falmouth, models some mood-enhancing handknit socks (from my needles). The yarn is one of Marathon's wackier self-fair-isling numbers.
And finally, Neuroknitter and I happily spent the better part of an hour last week in Wickford, RI, at The Mermaid's Purl. Check out Neuro's blog to see the beauteous scarf she's doing with seacell-infused yarn she bought there.

God wants us to trust Him and, like an eagle, learn to fly with Him. Often times, however, we'd rather stay in our nests–in our own comfort zones. We want to maintain and protect our known ways of doing things. It's just easier that way.
Leaving our nests is risky business. Flying is riskier still.
We don't always realize that God's stirring up our nests is out of His deep love for us that would move us to greater strength, truth and freedom. Just as baby eagles don't get it when they are first stirred up and pushed out of their nests. They, and we, don't realize yet the heights to which we were created to soar.
We need to trust God's wisdom as He stirs us up, and pushes us out of our comfort zones, so that we will receive the power and purpose God has for us to fly with Him to heights not even imagined!
We need to trust God's unfailing love that hovers over us, catches us and carries us as we learn to match our flight plans to His!
the LORD is..like an eagle that stirs up its nest and hovers over its young, that spreads its wings to catch them and carries them on its pinions. Deuteronomy 32:11
Personal Reflections from Sylane: I have learned had to learn to hold all things loosely so I may more freely fly and fully live in my relationship with Jesus.
My only REAL nest–my only REAL comfort zone is trusting God even when things don't make sense.
It doesn't make sense for little eaglets–all comfy, warm, perfectly well-fed to suddenly be stirred up and pushed out of the comfort of their nests. But it is the only way for them to fly–and attain the fullness of their created purpose.
For you, to follow God's stirrings out of your comfort zone, it may never entail learning a foreign language or changing your address (several times!). But! It may be God's Spirit urging you to reach out to share the love of Jesus with someone in your family, in your neighborhood, at work or school.
Maybe God is stirring you up to reach out to someone who is lonely or in need–on any level, anywhere in the world. From the forgotten grandmother in a nursing home or the little boy who always seems to be playing outside by himself. Maybe you're being stirred to make a meal for a sick friend or send a care package to a soldier or a soldier's family–even if they don't know you.
God's stirrings will come in different ways to each of us as He calls us out of our comfort zones. And I know that leaving the comfort of our nests is risky.
But! I am convinced that ignoring the stirrings of God's heart and will for our lives is far riskier to our well-being, and the quality of our lives, on every level–mentally, physically, relationally, spiritually.
When we choose to hold all things loosely EXCEPT for our relationship with and trust in our Lord Jesus, we have greater freedom to spread our wings to fly and grow in intimacy and unimaginable ways with our God!
It's worth the risk because God alone is our REAL comfort zone! And the views and adventures while soaring according to God's flight plan are spectacular!
In love, peace and purposeful passion, Sylane

Hi Everyone, Today I bring you the release launch of Chelsea Fine's latest New Adult Contemporary novel Perfect Kind of Trouble. I have read her debut, Best Kind of Broken and I thought it was a simple, enjoyable approach to the NA genre. New Adult is fast becoming a genre that I'm reading more and I can't wait to read this one very soon. So without further ado I present a excerpt of the novel and a brief description of the her latest novel. Enjoy!
Perfect Kind of Trouble (Finding Fate #2)
by Chelsea Fine
Publisher - Forever
Release Date - Today! (17 June 2014)
Buy - Amazon | Barnes and Noble | iBooks | Kobo
Sometimes when perfect falls apart, a little trouble fixes everything . . .
Twenty-one-year-old Kayla Turner has lost everything. After spending most of her life taking care of her ailing mother, she just wants to spot a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. So when her late father-a man she barely knew-leaves her an inheritance, she finally breathes a sigh of relief . . . until she learns the inheritance comes with strings. Strings in the form of handsome playboy Daren Ackwood, her father's protégé. To see any of her inheritance, she's forced to team up with him. From his expensive car to those sexy dimples, Kayla's seen his type before. But Daren isn't who he seems to be . . .
Struggling to make amends for his family's mistakes, Daren has a life more Oliver Twist than Richie Rich these days. He's beyond grateful that James Turner included him in his will, but working with Turner's princess of a daughter to fulfill his cryptic last wish is making Daren wonder if being broke is really so bad. Still, she's just as beautiful as she is stubborn, and the more time he spends with Kayla, the less it feels right being without her. Soon Daren and Kayla begin to wonder if maybe the best gift Kayla's dad could have left them . . . was each other.
Chelsea lives in Phoenix, Arizona where she spends most of her time writing stories, painting murals, and avoiding housework at all costs. She's ridiculously bad at doing dishes and claims to be allergic to laundry. Her obsessions include: superheroes, coffee, sleeping-in, and crazy socks. She lives with her husband and two children, who graciously tolerate her inability to resist teenage drama on TV and her complete lack of skill in the kitchen.

Really pleased that Chief Executive magazine recognized my research in today's column, "Business Exodus From California Is More Troubling Than Sanctuary Policies." Excerpts:
"California is facing a bigger issue than its tussle with the Federal government over sanctuary cities. According to a November report from the U.S Census Bureau, the Golden State has had 142,932 more residents exit to live in other states than people arriving from other states. This domestic outmigration was the second largest outflow in the U.S. behind New York and New Jersey ….
"[M]ore serious is the number of California-based companies that have left or signaled their intention to leave the state. Last year marks the first anniversary of the announcement that Carl's Jr., a California burger icon for more than six decades, was relocating its headquarters to Nashville. It's a symbol for what's become a stream of businesses that have quit California. What was once an almost quiet exodus of companies now looks more like a stampede.
"In addition, two dozen California companies have said they are tired of the business-bashing in Sacramento, along with the high taxes — and are now threatening to leave the state.
"Business relocation expert Joe Vranich who, as president of … Spectrum Location Services … told Investor's Business Daily (IBD) that from 2008 through 2015 …. that as many as 10,000 companies have left [California] in recent years."
Here is the link to the full article: https://chiefexecutive.net/business-exodus-california-troubling-sanctuary-policies/
One focus of this blog has been to address California's perennially difficult business environment. Joseph Vranich is known as The Business Relocation Coach while the formal name of his business is Spectrum Location Solutions. Joe helps companies find great locations in which to grow.

On our 270th episode, we immediately distracted ourselves from our planned topic of catching up on news, awards nominations, etc., and instead rambled on about various matters of literary influence, of writing sequels or revisionist fictions based on the works of writers ranging from Arthur C. Clarke to H.P. Lovecraft, and other topics neither of us clearly remember.
Episode 270: Spinoffs, copyright, awards and such
We did get around to discussing the latest round of awards nominations, celebrating the Grand Mastership of C.J. Cherryh, and finally trying to figure which if any SF works seem relevant to the current U.S. presidential campaign. And with the Hugo nominations closing this month, we shamelessly shill for your vote.
As always, we hope you enjoy the episode. More next week!

A great rambly podcast as usual!
An unrelated question for you, one that's been puzzling me for a while: how did Le Guin's Left Hand of Darkness win the 1970 Hugo? Given the stereotype of the fandom of the time (mostly male, relatively conservative, etc), it would seem miraculous for such a challenging novel about gender to do so well. Did it win in spite of this? Were the other nominees particularly weak? Or is the image we have of the fandom simply inaccurate? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

It's written by a feminist and examines gender roles in a fantasy setting as well as gender slippage and a variety of sexualities. It also examines power outside traditional forms (money, might). Out September 17th.
Elena the protagonist is smart, driven, and likeable without the need to be perfect or reasonable on all occasions- she's also a female werewolf. Armstrong never falls into the trap of the woman needing rescued- friends (male and female alike) may be on their way but Elena and all of Armstrong's female protagonists rely on their own inner physical and mental stregnths to get them through just about anything.
This is book one of a very large wonderful series full of terrific women. Look for Otherworld Series.
