On the original blog, I would have a yearly sum-up of my previous year of MMOs at around this time. So guess what? The tradition continues.
Seven years ago, I dipped my feet in, and then plunged into, the MMO world. And now, seven years later, things are still going strong. So what's filled the time in Year Seven?
Well, as usual, City of Heroes conquers as being the game I spend the most time in. The biggest news of the year there was the advent of Freedom, the freemium conversion of the game. Hasn't changed much for me, though-because I'm still subbing, and still having fun.
A pair of characters reached the lofty heights of level 50 in the last year: Professor Dredd, a Mastermind character I'd had for the longest time (one of my earliest City of Villains characters, in fact), and a Warshade called Skyshade-who had originally been named Magic's Shadow.
The game itself has undergone some significant additions: primarily the Incarnate Trials, allowing greater and greater power for those level 50s. Still, I have a fair stable of 50s now, so only a few got to start walking the path. The top incarnates are Winter Tornado, Operative Rostov, Ebon Thunderbolt, and Stellar Protector. Amazing Kane had a run at it, but when the developers introduced a new powerset called Time Manipulation, I knew I had to reroll the character to use that set. So for the first time, I removed a level 50 from the stable and made a new version. The original one made use of a free server transfer to the VIP Exalted server, in case I ever decide this was an incredibly stupid mistake. Another fun event was the opening of a new 12 potential character slots per server, making it possible to purchase to 48 character slots per server. Past history assures me that it still won't be enough….
On the supergroup front, things have remained more or less stable. The Union Supreme is still around, although activity when I'm active is a hit-and-miss proposition. Hyperion Force has come off a year of assorted storylines, some of which were bigger hits than others. And I've also been pushing ahead full forward with a villain group, too-the Entropy Legion, with my representative being originally Baron Craven (who eventually left because he backstabbed the group) and currently Dracofire, an alien fiery flying lizard. Have I mentioned I love the Virtue server?
The next major MMO was Star Trek Online. And things are less pleasant there. The year started pretty strongly-a new feature episode hit in February featuring the Romulans and Remans, and it was-much like the previous feature episodes-a hit. The highlight was the "Coliseum" episode, featuring an arena combat with some classic Trek music, a huge map, a puzzle…it had a lot of stuff that was just right. Unfortunately, that was pretty much the end right there. Thanks in part to the sale of Cyptic from Atari to Perfect World Entertainment, there was very little that was released outside of the C-Store offerings. A publish did include a set of mechanical options, like "shooter mode", but the next promised feature episode was pushed back…and back…and back. The only thing resembling content for a long time was a series of random space Borg invasions.
Then the developers announced (to the surprise of nobody) that STO would be going freemium. This, however, has been handled far worse than the CoH conversion. My recent posts have probably hinted (well, that's a mild way of putting it) of my own dissatisfaction with things there, and my opinion hasn't changed much recently. Despite this, there have been some good things. Special Task Forces have improved to a point where a relative noob like me can play in them via PvE queues, and not spend several hours in one. The Borg Invasions (now including a ground attack on Defera) have been pretty fun as well-they get you running around in space sectors, and the ground one seems nicely complex. It's not all bad. It's just a number of other decisions and actions involving the game that has me thinking that my time there is limited.
The Corps of Discovery still exists, but mostly in name only; it's a place to exchange items and the like between characters, but there hasn't been much in the way of fleet activity as everyone has drifted off into doing different things. The Freemium conversion may have changed that, however; I've noted more activity in the News section of the Fleet menu than I've seen in a while, with names I've not seen in longer. We'll wait and see what the future holds there.
And then there's the new kid on the block. Star Wars: The Old Republic has come among us like a titan. I obviously don't have much to report on this one-it's only been live for a little under a month. All the same, I have a new Coreth on Canderous Ordo server-a smuggler. And Alcarin is an Imperial Agent on Rubat Crystal, a member of the Correctors faction of the Sith Empire. The Hyperspace Outlaws formed up on Ordo (although technically they're using the guild name of simply "Hyper"). The game's been great fun for me so far, and I expect to be writing more about it in the near future as I indulge in my altaholism. This isn't to say that there haven't been growing pains-I read on the forums and on news sites about exploits and errors-but I'm not seeing anything I haven't seen from other game launches.
Speaking of Star Wars: we saw the sunset of Star Wars Galaxies. Nothing to say on this one. I actually did manage to resurrect Coreth Landwalker briefly when SOE managed to have a huge data breach, giving me a free 45 days of compensation time; granted, since Corbantis server was no more, he had to be transferred off to another server, but I did it-and spent time taking screenshots of places, figuring I'd never get a chance to see them again. Ironically, not long after, they announced the end, so there you go. The timing of its expiration and that of the release of TOR is probably not a coincidence, no matter how much some folks might say otherwise.
A couple of other games claimed some time from me, although to a far more limited extent. I amusingly had another 45 free days from the aforementioned debacle also applied to Vanguard: Saga of Heroes. Which I'd only done a trial for, when it was released. Funny, huh? My PC is able to handle that game a lot better now than the one I'd had then, but it still couldn't capture me. SOE being in charge may have also had something to do with it. I spent very little time in Champions Online, even given its freemium status; I tried out their version of feature episodes, but they just couldn't grab me. I spent even less time in Lord of the Rings Online; just enough to ensure characters were still alive, more or less. I did get a few free weeks back in EVE Online (but I missed the really entertaining period when the riots were ongoing in Jita); I trained up a few skills, picked up a new salvager-specific ship for Zhaven Rel, and managed to get a datacore which I'll likely sell off if I ever visit again. DC Universe Online also went freemium, and allowed me to poke around there a bit. I did something I never thought I'd do again-give SOE any cash at all-but it's also likely to be the last of the cash I give them. I expect to stop by there once in a while, but it's no competition to the best superhero game out there. Finally, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention a bit of time in the still massive World of Warcraft, where I got to see the Cataclysm hit; my free time literally spanned the space before and after the patch that wrecked the world, although the expansion itself hadn't hit by the time I was done. Irritated as hell about the talent changes, and more is supposedly on the way, but I don't have a horse in that race anymore.
As usual, I also sprinkled some fictional writing in for my various MMO characters, since that's something I still enjoy doing. In a City of Heroes, Stellar Protector got put through an emotional wringer after finding out his wife had been replaced by a clone for a year, and I explored his reaction to that in "Facets"; but at least he had one victory earlier in the year in "Fall of the Gems" where a significant monkey was taken off his back (and a potentially nastier one was being put on-deck). The Old Ranger of the same setting also got a little play in "Web of the Spider" as a new set of villains begin to assert themselves. Meanwhile, in the Old Republic, the Imperial Agent Alcarin Rost began to get some time in with "Tales of an Imperial Agent", and is a player in the open-RP fiction "The Arrival". All of those stories are at present at the respective web sites (all linked to on this blog), but I've begun to consolidate all my work over on the current Hyperspace Outlaws site-a project which will likely take some time. Plans for the next year are ambitious: throw up a new story for each character I've written about in the past. That's a lot of characters….
Seven years in, and a small horde of MMOs under my belt. When I took a glance over my earlier years' thoughts, I can't help but notice how much longer the posts have gotten; the first one was maybe four paragraphs and some odd sentences. This one is…well, bigger. I expect the strong emphasis in the coming year to be with the Old Republic, mainly because it's new; but I won't ignore City of Heroes, and I'll be keeping an eye on Star Trek Online's follies as well. I hope you'll come along for the ride!

Senator Jay Rockefeller wants FOX News and MSNBC off the air (to watch the video, click here).
"There's a little bug inside of me which wants to get the FCC to say to FOX and to MSNBC: 'Out. Off. End. Goodbye.' It would be a big favor to political discourse; our ability to do our work here in Congress, and to the American people, to be able to talk with each other and have some faith in their government and more importantly, in their future."
First of all, Senator Rockefeller, if you have a bug inside of you, I'd recommend a visit to the ER. Crickets are cute, but not while occupying your appendix.
Secondly, the best way to encourage political discourse is to silence FOX News and MSNBC? I was always under the impression that shutting up groups of people was a way to END discourse. Additionally, where is CNN in this conversation? Does Senator Rockefeller consider CNN to be the bastion of unbiased opinions?
The real problem isn't that there is a lack of solid political discourse. The problem is the Left's unadulterated hatred for FOX News and any other media outlet that challenges the liberal media near-monopoly. FOX News easily beats out CNN, MSNBC, and CNBC combined on a nightly basis. Sen. Rockefeller doesn't want to encourage political discourse — he wants to end it.
Liberals are generally strong advocate of free speech…for fellow liberals. When conservatives get the mic, they call for the mute button.
*slow clap*
Excellent point, Sen. Rockefeller. Excellent.

Got this one from Pinterest! Another hit! Thanks to www.chow.com. I used Italian bread crumbs as I didn't have any Panko, but I love Panko too, so whatever you desire!
- 3 (11- to 12-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in half horizontally
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 1/2 cups panko or italian bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese (about 1/2 ounce)
- 1 cup olive oil
- 3 cups Tomato Sauce
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh basil leaves (about 20 medium leaves)
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, cut into 12 thin slices
- Whole Wheat Noodles (amount desired, I used a whole package)
- Heat the broiler to high and arrange a rack in the top third of the oven. Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap, parchment paper, or waxed paper, or in a resealable plastic bag, and pound to an even thickness (about 1/4 inch thick) with a meat pounder, a rolling pin, or the bottom of a pan. Season well with salt and pepper.
- Place the flour in a wide, shallow dish, season well with salt and pepper, and mix; set aside. Combine the milk and eggs in another shallow dish and mix until the eggs are broken up; set aside. Mix the panko and Parmesan together in a third shallow dish.
- To bread the chicken, dredge a breast in the flour mixture and shake off the excess. Next, coat it in the egg mixture and let the excess drip off. Finally, press it into the panko mixture until it's well coated. Set the breaded chicken on a large plate or baking sheet and repeat with the remaining breasts.
- Line a clean baking sheet with paper towels and set aside. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking, or 350°F on a deep-fry thermometer. Add the chicken in batches (don't overcrowd the pan) and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove to the paper-towel-lined baking sheet and repeat with the remaining chicken.
- Meanwhile, cook noodles according to package directions.
- While frying the last batch of chicken, bring the tomato sauce to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Once warmed through, stir in 1/4 cup of the basil and reserve the rest for garnish. Remove the paper towels and place the chicken directly on the baking sheet. Divide the mozzarella slices evenly among the breasts and place under the broiler until the cheese is golden and bubbly. (Rotate the baking sheet as needed for even browning.)
- To serve, spoon the desired amount of noodles on the plate, ladle 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce onto each plate, top with chicken, and sprinkle with the remaining basil.
Happy eating friends! ~ Trina

Yogurt for Breakfast6:44 AM
It has always surprised me that people don't like to eat breakfast.
I go to bed dreaming of what I'm going to eat and wake up ravenous and anxious to get cooking.
It doesn't bother me that thinking of a yummy, healthy breakfast takes some creativity. I usually start with a base of eggs or fruit, or both.
Today Oliver located our stash of frozen berries (dang these easy to reach freezer drawers). From there we added plain yogurt for protein and minerals and probiotics, flax for fibre and fats and maple syrup for sweetness and more natural minerals. The maple syrup my family's batch from this year; you can read about how to make your own maple syrup here.
But that's just one way to do yogurt.
1. Locate your yogurt. For an easy tutorial on how to make your own go here. If you want to buy it look for no added sugar or sweetener and don't get sucked into the fat-free ploy. Go dietary fats go!
2. Fruit. Bananas (+ peanut butter!), apples (+cinnamon!), peaches, pears, raspberries... the list is endless. No, really, check out the Wikipedia list of edible fruits. If that doesn't inspire you, I don't know what will. You can find some really cool fruits at your local Asian grocer; if you live in London check out Super King in the Westmount Mall plaza.
3. Sweetness. My go-to sweeteners would be maple syrup or honey. I also like brown rice syrup, agave nectar, stevia and sucanat. You can read my blog post about sweeteners here.
4. Add ons. As mentioned above, peanut butter and cinnamon are great on yogurt. My addition was flax seed this morning, but chia seeds and hemp hearts are great too. Sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and sesame seeds are awesome, as are cashews, pecans and pine nuts. I love cacao nibs in my yogurt. I love allspice in my yogurt. How about some whole-grain cereals? A homemade granola would be wonderful. Go crazy!
If you're not in a yogurt mood, there are plenty of other options for breakfast and once you chose one, let your imagination run wild:
- A breakfast wrap
- Homemade oatmeal
- A smoothie
- A baked frittata
- Fresh muffins
There's totally no excuse for skipping breakfast when these options are at your fingertips. Try one today... or tomorrow morning I guess.

Nevada High Court Rejects Pot User's Driving Bid
|Nevada "High" Court
RGJ.com By Martha Bellisle – A California woman who legally smoked marijuana in her home state and then drove across the Nevada state line with an "inactive" marijuana metabolite in her system still is guilty under the state's impaired driving law, the Nevada Supreme Court ruled.
Shira Garfinkel was convicted in Incline Justice Court of being over the legal limit of marijuana metabolite, which is the "inactive" substance the body produces to get ride of marijuana's active ingredient tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC.
Her lawyer, Deputy Public Defender Priscilla Nielson appealed, arguing that since the metabolite is an "inactive" substance, it "does not affect the person's ability to drive," and the law is unconstitutional.
Justices Nancy Saitta, Michael Cherry and Mark Gibbons disagreed.
In an unpublished decision, which means the ruling only applies to this case and does not set legal precedence, the justices said they already ruled in another case that the law appropriately applies to both marijuana's active ingredient and the metabolite, and they don't need to "revisit that decision."
They also dismissed Garfinkel's claims that the law "interferes with her right to travel" because she is a legal user of marijuana in California and Nevada's DUI law would keep her from crossing the state line.
The law does not prohibit her from traveling, the justices said, "it criminalizes her driving a motor vehicle through the state with prohibited substances in her blood and urine."
Nielson said she was "somewhat discouraged" with the ruling and that she has not yet decided if she'll ask the full court to review the case.
"I'm disappointed that they did not apply a legal analysis, they just looked at the bottom line of the Williams case," Nielson said.
Case details
Jessica Williams was convicted in 2002 of running over and killing six teenagers after smoking marijuana.
She appealed, and the high court affirmed her conviction, saying the law served two legitimate state interests: promoting highway safety and deterring the illicit use of drugs, Nielson said.
Nielson said that neither of those points apply in this case. The metabolite does not impact driving ability because it's inactive, and the drug use in this case was legal, she said.
According to William Anderson, chief toxicologist at the Washoe County crime lab, regular users of marijuana would have an almost continual level of metabolite in their systems.
Garfinkel was stopped for speeding on Tahoe Boulevard early in 2010 and charged with driving with a prohibited amount of a prohibited substance. She has a doctor-approved cannabis card that allows her to use the drug, under California law.
The courts
At her trial in Incline Village Justice Court, Judge Alan Tiras said she was not guilty of having THC in her system. Her test showed she had two nanograms of the THC, the legal limit.
But since the test is plus-or-minus 1 nanogram, he did not convict her. But he found her guilty of having the metabolite in her system. The test measured 20 nanograms of metabolite, and the legal limit is 5 nanograms.
She appealed to Washoe District Court, and Judge Robert Perry affirmed Tiras' ruling.
The next appeal took her argument to the Supreme Court, but the justices affirmed the conviction.
"Garfinkel's attempts to distinguish her case from Williams by arguing that in Williams this court grappled only with the prohibition on active marijuana and did not meaningfully analyze the constitutional implications of the prohibition of driving while carrying marijuana metabolite in the blood are unavailing," the ruling said.
In the Williams decision, the justices said, they "rejected the arguments of those who claimed that the law 'lacked a direct correlation between the prohibited drugs in a driver's system and impairment.'"
In this case clearly the justices did not even look at the law, nor he facts of the case. The intent of the law is to stop someone who is impaired from driving a very heavy, speeding vehicle that will do serious harm to someone else. In this case, there was no evidence of any potential harm coming to anyone since the substance in question was not the marijuana, but the bodies production of a substance which cleans out marijuana. It is like saying having bleach or bathroom cleaner is evidence there was illegal substances in your bathroom and therefore you're criminally liable.
Now, I don't mean to cast aspersions on a fine Nevada DUI Attorney, but how do you lose a case on these facts? Yes, the DUI attorney was looking for the court to declare the law unconstitutional, but it seems nearly a slam dunk. That last sentence makes assumption of the reader. I apologize and will correct that assumption now. The DUI attorney was looking for the Nevada Supreme Court to declare the law unconstitutional. It is my personal opinion that all courts and police are completely corrupt and run amuck of the constitution ad nauseum. There is almost no way that any court in the land would declare any law unconstitutional these days, UNLESS, it was so blatantly obvious that even the ignorant, unwashed masses could plainly see it was unconstitutional. It is the same reasoning we have a 2 billion dollar HIV industry. They haven't located actual HIV, but they can see antibodies to HIV. This is the same reasoning. There was no THC, the substance in marijuana that makes you high, but they found metabolite in her system, nor was she potentially dangerous while driving.

Amusing fusion of memoir and cultural critique, focusing on the family saga none of us could refuse.
Broadway theater manager Santopietro (Sinatra in Hollywood, 2008, etc.) asserts that with the 1972 release of Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather, "notions of ethnicity in America had been upended in rather spectacular fashion" especially for young Italian-Americans who felt conflicted about many aspects of their heritage, including a stifling emphasis on family ties, love for America paired with distrust of authority and, of course, a convenient stereotype of pervasive criminal involvement. The author claims that it was his early viewings of the film and its sequels that revealed to him "just what had transpired in my grandfather's leap to L'America," allowing him to transition into a family history in which his grandparents settled in Waterbury, Conn., around 1917, where the effects of anti-immigrant prejudice were evident despite the Italian community's established local roots. Since his most of his mother's family were locally prominent WASPs, this resulted in an embarrassed confusion regarding his upbringing and inner identity. His narrative shifts between this personal history and an examination of the production and impact of the three Godfather films. He discusses many intriguing aspects of the original production, including studio resistance to Coppola and the actors Al Pacino and Marlon Brando (their indelible performances notwithstanding), and the long-rumored presence of actual mobsters on the set. He also explores other relevant cultural tangents, such as the many shoddy pastiches of mob culture (and some good ones, like The Sopranos) and the transformative impact of unapologetic paisano Frank Sinatra. The writing is slick, and most engaging when Santopietro looks back nostalgically at his personal history, but many of the observations drawn about the Godfather trilogy's effect on American society since then seem familiar.
An entertaining but slight merger of social and personal history, via the lens of popular culture.

Anthony Nutt, manager of the Jupiter Income Trust, tipped travel companies Go
Ahead and First Group as beneficiaries of the Olympic pound, writes Emma
"While you should not buy a company simply on the basis that it might benefit
from the Olympics, there are stocks that we already consider 'buys' that
will benefit," he said. "Go Ahead's operations are located primarily in the
south-east of England and the company has around 21pc of the London bus
market. It has strong management, is cash generative and operates a
progressive dividend policy."
First Group is the leading transport operator in Britain and North America,
operating bus and train groups including First Great Western, First Capital
Connect and the Yellow School Bus.
According to Mr Nutt: "First Group's management has steadily improved
revenues, has a focus on increasing its net cash position and aims to
increase dividends by at least 7pc a year."

From the outset, ArchiCAD was developed specifically to address the architect's desire for great design without compromising on practical needs. GraphiSoft ArchiCAD's innovative BIM (building information model) solution helps you win more business while letting you concentrate on your core skill – creating inspiring designs.
ArchiCAD 19 is now faster than ever! No more waiting for views to load. GraphiSoft has extended its robust 64- bit and multi-processing technologies with background processing — an industry first for BIM. So ArchiCAD now offers lightning-fast response times and this turbo-charged update to ArchiCAD makes it the undisputed speed leader in the BIM business.
Version 126.96.36.19905:
- Background Processing - ArchiCAD 19 takes advantage of unused computer capacity by anticipating what you might do next " and preparing those actions in the background. This "second guessing" greatly increases the overall responsiveness of the application, so it feels more agile with projects of any kind or size. That's the dramatic difference you'll feel between this next-gen technology and standard BIM software without background processing.
- Improved Work Environment - ArchiCAD 19 provides major work environment improvements for both Mac and Windows users. Brand new Tab-based navigation makes accessing different views and overseeing the BIM project much easier. Plus, true full-screen mode makes ArchiCAD 19 feel like the most "natural" BIM application on the Mac.
- Point-Cloud Support - ArchiCAD 19 reads the most common point-clouds, providing faster, error- free building surveys by using the latest 3D scanner laser-survey technology. This eliminates all errors due to manual data input while ensuring a lightning-fast, fully-automated, error-free workflow.
- Productivity Enhancements - RCHICAD 19 makes the most time- consuming and often boring part of an architect's work much more fun. Now precise editing and accurate listing can be as easy as sketching your initial concept lines in pencil.
- Leading the Way in Open BIM - Improved IFC-based collaboration and collision detection (using the MEP Modeler add-on) improves Open BIM collaboration between architects and engineers.
- Interactive 3D Surface Painter - ArchiCAD's new Surface Painter enables designers to change model surfaces in the 3D window with a single click, using a floating palette.
- Smoother and Faster 3D Navigation - Better utilization of OpenGL means smooth and lightning-fast navigation - even on extremely large building models.

StealthArmor Comes In Metallic Color to Protect Your iPad
If you've got an iPad, you've probably thought about getting some protection for your new gadget. There are quite a few options out there, but we haven't seen anything like this neat StealthArmor, which comes in a great matching color.
You've got to give it to Apple for designing such a beautiful tablet. The trouble is that tablet, by their design, get manipulated a lot by fingers and will probably take a few tumbles along the way. Fusion of Ideas has just released StealthArmor in metallic colors, from gold, bronze, tungsten and brushed aluminum, to match your iPad.
Naturally, these protective skins have a clear front, which is supposed to improve vision, or "clearest optics", as Fusion of Ideas likes to put it. The skins aren't made out of metal, so they won't interfere with 3G or WiFi. They will cost $75. It's also available in carbon fiver (in black or white), black matte, wood grain and clear.

In the fall, I began to take part in something called a Goal Achievement Circle. It's a group of like minded individuals who get together once a month to share goals, share what they have achieved, talk about challenges during the month, and share ideas to keep you on track towards achieving the goals you desire.
During the month of November, we were encouraged to keep a gratitude list of what we were grateful for. We were also encouraged to do random acts of kindness during the holiday season and for me personally, this was something that I couldn't wait to do. Personally, I did things such as paying for a cup of coffee to the next person in line, paying a toll for the person behind me, letting someone go before me in the grocery line, and just offering a smile to perfect strangers. When I did these random acts of kindness, I also made sure to keep it a secret if I possibly could. I made sure that the cashier didn't let the person behind me know that it was me paying for the coffee. To be truthful, paying for the coffee was minimal; watching people smile and share their excitement over a free cup of coffee was worth it's weight in gold.
In December, I had the blessing of witnessing the true reason for the season. At a Business After Hours with the Greater Barrington Chamber of Commerce, we had a Chamber Raffle with the prize being $500.00 worth of oil or $250.00 in cash. A Chamber member won and immediately wanted the prize to go to a local family who was in need. It turns out that a Chamber member's son who has a young family was recently in a car accident. The accident would involve several surgeries, months of rehab, leave him unable to work, and because of this, the family had some financial stress. The oil was donated to this family and it really touched my heart. This man didn't know this family, didn't think twice about it, he just did it. It was something that both professionally and personally, I would love to be able to do without a blink of an eyelash.
As a business owner who frequently receives referrals from many business owners, it is in my nature to try to give back if I possibly can to the ones who continually give. As much as I would love to do this, the reality is that it's just about impossible. Personally, several home and car insurance agents in the area continually give me referrals for health insurance and I pass their names along to people who are looking for the types of insurance they offer. The hard part is that it isn't unusual for me to receive one or two referrals a month from five different agents. It would be quite impossible for me to refer all of them. I can thank them and do so, but never feel that it is enough. I've also thought about telling them all the good that came from their referral, however, I have to follow privacy laws.
With this said, I wanted to try to do something both professionally and personally that would allow me to do random acts of kindness or "paying it forward" while being mindful of the reality of my business. Then I saw this on a Facebook status: Pay It Forward in 2013 - The first five people to comment on this post will receive something from me sometime this year (a card, a baked good, something that makes me think of you). There won't be a warning and it will happen whenever the mood strikes me. What is the catch? You must make the same offer in your Facebook status. Let's keep paying it forward and spread the happy."
I loved the idea and will be posting this on both my personal page and business page (Balanced Care Health and Supplemental Insurance) this week. My goal is to obviously pay it forward and do random acts of kindness on a regular basis, however, it's also to share with you all the good things that people do on a regular basis. It's also my hope to share more business pages, more testimonials for businesses, and just continual good news about all the good that both people and businesses do in their community.
For myself, it gets very depressing to continually see bad news. As someone that works with people each day, I believe that most of us need to read good news more often. I also believe that as a business owner, it gives me great encouragement if someone has taken the time to go out of their way to write a testimonial or share a referral.
I hope that you will join me in my effort of "paying it forward" in 2013 and look forward to reading and sharing all the good news that comes as a result of reading one small post on Facebook. Let's Pay it forward together and share our business, our good news, and all those random acts of kindness.

KUWAIT (Reuters) - The Kuwaiti government on Wednesday set a fresh date of July 27 for a parliamentary election, delaying by two days the sixth assembly contest in seven years in the politically volatile Gulf country.
The government had earlier scheduled July 25 for the poll, a snap vote ordered by its top court earlier this month after the current assembly was dissolved.
"The ministerial council adopts a decree to invite voters to elect members of the National Assembly (parliament) on July, 27, 2013," official news agency KUNA reported, without giving any further details.
The new date, like the previous one, falls during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
Almost constant factional infighting and disarray has stalled infrastructure development and held up economic reforms in Kuwait, an important oil producer and U.S. ally.
On June 16 opposition supporters lost a legal fight to undo changes to the voting system they said favor pro-government candidates - a dispute which aggravated political tensions.
The Constitutional Court however found fault in the process leading up to the last elections in December and ordered a new ballot for the 50-member assembly.

Ford's Vail retreat listed at $14.9 million
Ford's Vail retreat listed at $14.9 million
The Vail, Colo., ski retreat that President Gerald Ford owned for about a quarter century is on the market for the second time in less than two years, asking $14.9 million.
The ski-in, ski-out house of about 10,000 square feet has seven bedrooms and is within walking distance of Beaver Creek village. The seller, real-estate investor Kevin Hayes, bought the home in early 2007 — a few months after Mr. Ford died — for $6.65 million. Mr. Hayes says he spent over $4 million on renovations, including redoing the wiring and plumbing and putting in a new kitchen and floors, as well as re-landscaping.
During his presidency, Mr. Ford frequently took ski vacations in Vail. He got his choice of lots when the Beaver Creek resort was developed in the 1970s, according to the resort. In 1982, he spearheaded the AEI World Forum, an annual gathering of politicians and executives in Beaver Creek. He primarily lived in Rancho Mirage, Calif., where his widow, Betty, age 90, still resides.
NFL's Strahan buys N.Y. condo
Just-retired NFL star Michael Strahan, who played a key role in the New York Giants' unlikely run to last season's Super Bowl championship, last week paid between $1.5 and $2 million for a loft in Manhattan's Tribeca neighborhood, says his broker, Frances Katzen, of Prudential Douglas Elliman.
The defensive end agreed to purchase the 2,000-square-foot, high-floor unit in 2006, but building-permit and other issues delayed the closing, Ms. Katzen says.
The condominium, sold in an unfinished state, has 15-foot ceilings and sandblasted brick walls, and the building has full-time doormen.
In June, the 36-year-old Mr. Strahan retired from pro football and announced he was joining Fox Sports' pre-game show "NFL Sunday," based in Los Angeles. Mr. Strahan will use the loft as a pied-a-terre, Ms. Katzen says. He also owns homes in New Jersey, Texas and California.

text: I'm am amateur artist in Singapore. Unlike the many artists here, I'm not trained in Art. In fact, my educational background is in Science. However, I've always loved drawing and painting since young, but have been distracted by the many demands of life such as studies and work.A few years back, the passion for painting had been rekindled in me as I went for an Art Jamming session at Arteastiq (Singapore). Since then I've been painting on and off during these Art Jamming sessions. There came a point when I find that I've become stagnant in my painting. I needed a breakthrough and to learn painting properly. So I enrolled myself in an art exploration program at a local art studion (My Art Space). There I've learnt how to see forms, colours and toning and translate them into artworks, with the help of the talented instructors/facilitators. My Art Space does not emphasize on techniques but rather on our free expression and style.I would love to share my works with you and if you are interested in them, you can own them. You can also visit https://jfatelier.wordpress.com/ to see some of my works that are not on sales here as some of them are gifts for friends.

Mom-to-be Paula Patton was aglow on the red carpet at last night's Screen Actor's Guild awards in Los Angeles, California. The Precious star, who is expecting her first child with hubby Robin Thicke, dressed up her bump in a white strapless tulle gown.
White was a hot color among the A-list moms at the star-studded event: Kate Hudson turned heads in a backless white Pucci gown and mom-of-two Kyra Sedgewick was gorgeous in Vera Wang. Up in the Air star Vera Farmiga opted for an off-white J. Mendel and Toni Collette shone in an empire-waist gown with gold details.
The always beautiful Mariska Hargitay injected some color into the evening with her magenta Vera Wang gown as did funny mom Tina Fey in a purple satin knee-length dress and Juliana Margulies in a blue velvet Narciso Rodriguez gown.
Which mom had the best red carpet look at last night's SAGs?

By Beatriz Tasso Fragoso, special contributor
First Brazilian top model to join the Victoria's Secret team of "angels" – the lingerie-clad winged goddesses that strut the catwalk once a year for the world's biggest televised fashion show – Ana Beatriz Barros is a green-eyed stunner from a small town in Minas Gerais state.
She splits her time between New York, São Paulo and runways on both sides of the Atlantic and made her name for starring in several Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issues and landing countless magazine covers. The latest two? Vogue Homme and Vogue España.
She's not a big party girl, but on the rare occasions when she goes clubbing, favourite night spots include Disco, in São Paulo. She loves to dress up at night – heels are a must - but during the day, she prefers dressing down (jeans, flat sandals and a plain t-shirt are her standard get-up). Ana's favourite shops in Brazil are Daslu, Forum, Reinaldo Lourenço and, for beachwear, Lenny.

As the 2014 session of the Georgia General Assembly progresses toward a March 20 conclusion, the crucial "crossover day" is coming up next Monday, March 3.
That's the day when legislation must be passed by the chamber into which it was introduced to be considered by the other chamber during the legislative session, and Jackson County's Rep. Tommy Benton (R-Jefferson) has several bills he hopes will clear the House.
The House was scheduled to be in session Monday through Wednesday this week, work all five days next week (March 3-7) and then be in session Monday, March 10, through Thursday, March 13, before winding up on Tuesday, March 18, and Thursday, March 20.
"I've got several bills I'm working on," Benton said early Monday.
One is his Monument Protection Bill, which would require that historical markers or monuments moved during construction be replaced in a location of equal prominence.

Published: March 19, 2017Updated: March 20, 2017
A one-week-old foal sleeps soundly in the lap of its new surrogate mum – a jumbo TEDDY BEAR. Breeze the bay pony was found abandoned on Dartmoor National Park just a few hours after his birth. Unable to find his mother, the tiny foundling was stumbling hopelessly around the hillside trying to suckle mares. By the time rescuers from a local equine sanctuary had arrived to help, Breeze had collapsed in a state of severe shock and dehydration.

November 2012
I can't believe it is November already. It has been an incredible year. (not sure if that is really the adjective I want to use) Thanksgiving will be here before we know it and then comes Christmas. I can hardly believe the year is all but gone. I am thankful for a wonderful God that has gotten me through this valley/desert time. My church family has also been amazing. I can't not forget my facebook friends either. Everyone has been so supportive and encouraging during this whole ordeal. I do feel like I am stronger (wish I could have gotten here on a different path) I know God is in control and is aware of all that I am going through. He is my rock.
Dad has done so well during his treatments. I am so thankful to God for keeping him in his loving arms during this time. Dad is in great spirits. I know God has answered so many of my prayers. I know so many friends who have suffered so much more during their chemo treatments. I thank God that dad is doing so well. I am thankful that his body is responding to the treatments so well. God is so good.
I am praying that with the beginning of the new year I can get back to my cards. My mind just is not focused enough to be creative I guess. I love my paper crafts but when I try to do something I just find myself wondering around with no real purpose, so with that said I will wait and try to resume my "card-making" for a later time. I would really like to make some Christmas cards (maybe I will try) I have so many things going on that I have not even begun to touch on here. I am not going to bore you with the details.
Thank-you so much for those who prayer for my dad daily. (we can tell) Your words are so encouraging and uplifting! I pray you never have to go through this it is truly a life-changing event not only for the patient but the care-giver as well. I am thankful that God has drawn me closer to my dad this year. We have always been close but this last few months mean more to me than anyone will ever know. I miss my mom (which makes my daddy so much more precious to me) I hope you will take time to call your dad and tell him "I love you" You need to say it and he needs to hear it~
Thanks for listening Hugs from here

Is she really going out with him?
Yeah, I don't know, there she is
Let's ask her
Betty? Is that Johnny's ring you're wearing?
Wow, it must be great riding with him
Yeah, is he picking you up after school today?
By the way, where'd you meet him?
I meet him at the candy store
He turned around and smiled at me
Do you get the picture?
Yes, we see
That's when I fell for the leader of the pack
My folks were always putting him down
(Down, down)
The said that he came from
The wrong side of town
(Wrong side of town)
They'd told me he was bad
But I know he was sad
That's why I fell for the leader of the pack
One day my dad said, find someone new
I had to tell my Johnny we're through
He stood there and asked me why
But all I could do was cry
I'm sorry I hurt you, the leader of the pack
Well, he sort of smiled and kissed me goodly
And the tears began to fall
And as he drove away on that rainy night
I begged him to go slow
But whether he heard me I'll never know
Look out, look out, oh look out!
I felt so helpess, what could I do
Remembering all the things we'd been through
At school they all stop and stare
I can't hide my tears, but I don't care
I'll never forget him the leader of the pack...
The leader of the pack, now he's gone...

Population: 114,000 (not including visitors)
Leadership: Sultan Bernard Karlak
Allies: None formerly identified.
Flag: Tan field with bright blue circle
Dunridge is a kingdom lying in towards the edge of the Mohaine Desert on Sia. The kingdom is surrounded by high walls known for beautiful achrietecture. The wall is designed to protect the city from sandstorms and attacks from the Hassite nomads. The population of Dunridge is rather small compared to its size, however on any given day there could be tens of thousands of vistors to the city. This is because Dunridge is the only settled area in the Mohaine Desert and a way station for people travling through the land. The bustling trade attracts people from across Erenor and many people journey here to seek fortune or rare goods.
The kingdom is ruled by Sultan Bernard Karlak, the famous offspring of the Dragon Warlord Orlin. He takes a passive stance on most of the goings on in the kingdom. Instead he leaves the every day rule of the kingdom to the Trade Lords, men and women who are wealthy enough to buy sections of the city where they rule. The Sultan appears to only take an active role in politics if trade is threatened in anyway.
The history of Dunridge is connected to the oasis at the center. For hundreds of years, there has been an outpost located at this point. Travelers built the outpost to a town around 482 DW and it was an open to all. The Hassite nomads frequently traded there, and occasionally raided the town. During The Third Dragon War, Bernard Karlak arrived and slowly built the town into a major kingdom. Since being officially incorporated as a kingdom in 5 AW, Dunridge has been the Waystation of the Desert

Well, it was nice while it lasted.
Hot on the heels of the news that Bill Wyman was rehearsing with the Rolling Stones as part of the band's 50th anniversary comes the news that Wyman won't be touring with the group as hoped.
Following the rehearsals, guitarist Keith Richards said, "We're playing around with the idea [of a tour] and had a couple of rehearsals… we've got together and it feels so good."
Now EADT Suffolk Magazine is reporting the bassist is staying put.
"I don't fly, so there's no way I'll go on any tour," Wyman shared, adding "I did meet up with them earlier this year for a couple of rehearsal sessions but that was all."
Even Richards has reportedly changed his tune – along with Mick Jagger – who say they aren't thinking about touring until 2013.
"Basically, we're just not ready," Richards told EADT. "I have a feeling that [a tour in 2013 is] more realistic."
Reports have circulated that Richards' health is one of the key factors in the delay.
But then again, Richards is still holding out hope – or at least generating hope for fans on whether or not Wyman may change his mind for a 2013 tour.
"I think he's up for it. We talked about it," Richards reportedly said.
"Stay tuned," as they say.
