Well, life as we know it is over, people. Loralai is on the move! She has learned to scoot backwards when she's on her belly, and if she's sitting up, she can lean forward on her hands and scoot her butt along. She hasn't quite mastered crawling yet, but she is getting up on all fours and rocking. She's close, for sure.
Here she is "hiding" under daddy's guitar after scooting backwards. The look on her face says, "Aren't I hilarious?!"
We started baby-proofing, including rearranging some furniture in the living room, and getting rid of our wood coffee table in favor of a soft ottoman that takes up less space. That transition was made just in time, as she just recently pulled herself up using the ottoman!
Now that she's realized she can go after things that interest her, it's made her much more curious, and even a little mischievous.
The dogs don't really know what to think. I'm pretty sure they thought she was much more likeable when she stayed in one place and they could control how often they went in for a close-up visit.
Tails, by the way, fascinate her.
It's so fun to watch her grow and change every day and to be able to interact with her more and more.

Kenyan landlords are pushing for a plan that seeks to have rent defaulters listed with credit reference bureaus (CRBs).
The Urban Landlords and Tenants Association of Kenya (ULTAK) is seeking the Central Bank of Kenya's authority to implement the proposal.
If CBK approves the request, landlords will liaise with CRBs concerning their tenants' monthly payments.
ULTAK secretary-general Ephraim Murigo says the plan will ensure tenants who previously defaulted on rent payments find it hard to rent houses in other locations.
Before signing lease agreements, landlords will demand a CRB clearance from those seeking to rent their houses.
"Today, landlords resort to a number of crafty ways like locking up a tenant's belongings to recover unpaid rent. Once our plan is implemented, it will become difficult for tenants to dodge their responsibilities, and hence landlords will have an easier time," Says Murigo.
"My association has come up with a formula whereby tenants will stop feeling like defaulting on rent is normal. We have approached credit reference bureaus to partner with them with an aim of listing all tenants who default on rent payment."
2018 data by Transunion Credit Reference Bureau shows that more than 500,000 Kenyans have been blacklisted and thus cannot access credit facilities.

I know it's been awhile since I last blogged, and there's so much I want to share with you about what we did between New Orleans, LA and Alpine, TX, but I just have to tell you about what we've experienced over the past few days in Alpine, TX!! We had heard of the TEXAS COWBOY POETRY GATHERING over the years but "steered" clear of the area while it was happening. This year friends from home, Jill and Fred Moon (pictured above), happened to mention in an email that they were looking forward to getting out of the Michigan snowbank and flying to West Texas for this Cowboy gathering. We arrived in Big Bend National Park on Jan. 30 and thought somehow we needed to try and "hitch" up with them while they were so close. They said they had done this before and LOVED it and it was a must do. So we stayed at the National Park for three weeks and joined in on the fun. What fun it was and we for sure will attend next year if we're out this way. From the Chuckwagon breakfast with real cowboy coffee to the old and young cowboys and cowgirls singing or reciting poetry, it was so much fun. So if you are ever down here the last weekend in February make sure you join in.

The Forever Song by Julie KagawaRelease Date - April 15, 2014
Publisher Website - HarlequinTeen
Publisher Social Media - Twitter
Pages - 416 pages
My Rating - 4.5/5
**received in exchange for an honest review from the publisher**
Here is the Goodreads synopsis
VENGEANCE WILL BE HERSCharacter growth in a series is incredibly important. The character's journey, and their series long arc must feel authentic, earned and offer a satisfying payoff for the reader at the end of the series. The Forever Song ends The Blood of Eden series in a way that offers all this, and a thrilling journey at the same time.
Allison Sekemoto once struggled with the question: human or monster?
With the death of her love, Zeke, she has her answer.
Allie will embrace her cold vampire side to hunt down and end Sarren, the psychopathic vampire who murdered Zeke. But the trail is bloody and long, and Sarren has left many surprises for Allie and her companions—her creator, Kanin, and her blood brother, Jackal. The trail is leading straight to the one place they must protect at any cost—the last vampire-free zone on Earth, Eden. And Sarren has one final, brutal shock in store for Allie.
In a ruined world where no life is sacred and former allies can turn on you in one heartbeat, Allie will face her darkest days. And if she succeeds, triumph is short-lived in the face of surviving forever alone.
Julie Kagawa is one of those writers who can balance plot, characters, and world building. She immerses the reader into her created world, and makes you care about the characters deeply. I became attached to each of them, but more than that, I wanted to follow their story. I was swept away along the journey with them. Having each of these elements be equally strong makes for a engrossing read. It show exactly how talented Julie is that she was able to do this with more than one series.
Allison's transformation from the girl we first meet who is barely surviving on the fringe, to the powerful katana wielding vampire goddess we see her become is mesmerizing. Here is a character that embraces her strengths, as well as her emotions. She allows herself to feel each one of them, even the messy ones. We begin the novel with her in a state of grief that causes her to want to embrace the monster inside, and that's Allison's journey. It always has been. What will she become? What kind of monster does she want to be? This installment answers that in a beautiful, tragic, and ultimately fulfilling way.
Having a satisfying ending to each and everything character's story arcs is often a delicate juggling act. The focus tends to be on the main characters. I appreciated that Julie took the time to make sure the loose ends were tied up just enough to satisfy. She also made sure that each character, and their own journey, was taken into account while writing their ending. It shifted the focus so that each character was important. I grew to love Allison, Kanin, Jackal and many others. Even if they didn't get the ending you wished for them, it was a logical, fitting ending that made sense within their story arc. The series ends with each character exactly where they should be.
No book by Julie Kagawa would be complete without some heartbreak. This installment really is bittersweet. I enjoyed the balance between the heart crushing sadness and uplifting hope that resonated throughout the book. In a bleak, decimated world like the one these characters inhabit, those moments of hope are so vitally important. It's what the reader, and the characters grasp on to. The promise of something more. If anything, the message of this series is that even in the darkest moments there are fragments of light to be found.
The Forever Song proves that it's possible to have a satisfying, thrilling ending to the series that doesn't compromise the characters or the plot. This series, and the character growth, just continued to improve as the series went along. Saying goodbye to Allison, Kanin, Jackal and the rest was bittersweet, but rewarding.

Villarreal can do Manchester City a favour, says Roberto Mancini
- Details
- Category: Champions League
Roberto Mancini admitted his Manchester City team have only "a 30% chance" of qualifying for the next stage of the Champions Leagueas he reflected on the defeat that has left them on the brink of dropping into the Europa League.
City, now third in Group A, will have to beat Bayern Munich at home and hope that Napoli do not win at Villarreal – but the Spanish team have not picked up a single point so far and Mancini admitted he was not optimistic.
"I would give a 70% chance to Napoli and a 30% chance for us," he said. "It doesn't depend just on us any more. If Villarreal play a normal game they may still get a result. If they play a serious game we can still get to the second stage.
"But Napoli are the favourites now and life doesn't finish if we don't get through. Our target was to get into the second stage of the Champions League but we started the season with four different targets. Sometimes you lose, and if we don't qualify we will play in the Europa League."
Mancini felt his team were unlucky to be beaten, and he was reluctant to criticise any part of their performance other than to say that Napoli had won "because of two goals we could have avoided".
He added: "I thought we played well. We didn't deserve to lose, we had a lot of possession and we created a lot of chances. But we made mistakes and when you have players such as [Ezequiel] Lavezzi and [Edinson] Cavani they will always put you under pressure. We can improve, but it is not just in defence. It's all the team, not just the defenders. So I'm not disappointed with the performance and I'm sorry for the lads."
Mario Balotelli's goal means he has scored nine times in his past 10 matches for City, but the Italian's inclusion was a surprise given that he was suffering from a fever and was sick on the pitch.
Balotelli was photographed on Monday night after leaving the team hotel to join his girlfriend in a pizzeria, but Mancini confirmed the player had permission and said he did not regret picking him ahead of Sergio Agüero. "He was sick, but he didn't have any other problems. It was only a small fever, not serious enough for him not to play. He had my permission to say hello to his girlfriend for half an hour. And he scored, so maybe I should send all my players to a pizzeria."

The Supreme Court has reversed the Court of Appeal's decision that a teaching assistant accused of sexual misconduct was entitled to legal representation at a disciplinary hearing before the school's governors. The teaching assistant had argued that it infringed his human rights to be refused legal representation in circumstances where an adverse finding would almost inevitably lead to a decision from the Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA) to bar him from working in schools.
The Supreme Court's analysis of the law was similar to that of the lower courts, but it came to a different conclusion because it placed greater emphasis on the ability of ISA to come to an independent decision on the facts before deciding whether to bar him. That meant that it was the deliberations of ISA, rather than the disciplinary hearing at the school, which were "determinative of his civil rights" within Article 6 of the European Human Rights Convention.
This decision will surprise those who had assumed, based on the reasoning in the Court of Appeal, that public sector employees facing career-threatening allegations would be entitled to legal representation at their disciplinary hearing. However, because the Supreme Court's decision is fact-specific, it does not lay down a universal rule that Article 6 is never engaged in an internal disciplinary hearing. In this case the governing body of a voluntary aided school was involved, which was not in a position of itself to prevent a member of staff from working in the educational sector. The position might be different in the case of an employer like the NHS which, at least at present, is a virtual monopoly provider of key health services.

Janine Boldrin
Military kids come in all shapes and sizes, and all have their own circumstances. But they all share a bond as part of the military community. And many of them have a story to tell. That's why Janine Boldrin and Amy Crispino launched chameleonkids.com and Military Kids' Life, a magazine for military kids that is filled with stories by … military kids.
Boldrin, the spouse of an Army officer and the mother of three, recently took some time out of her busy schedule to give us her take on military kids and why she and Crispino launched their business.
Q. What's the main difference between military kids and civilians?
A. Military kids are just kids! They want the same things as civilian kids but their parent's job gives them experiences that are often unlike that of their peers. Some of our military kids move a lot while some don't move at all. Some military kids live overseas while some will never move out of their hometown. Their parents deploy and some never deploy. So there is no one description of a military kid, but what makes them "different" from most civilian kids is the insight into life that their unique experiences give them.
Q. As a military spouse and mom, what's the key to navigating life in the military?
A. As a military spouse and mom, I've found the key to navigating life in the military as a family member is to figure out the areas of it that you can embrace even if it doesn't come naturally at first. Find areas of military life that you can enjoy and focus on those instead of focusing on everything that is not in your control or is frustrating. That doesn't mean you shouldn't be part of fixing the problems but just don't make every problem, your problem. It is okay to find parts of military life frustrating, uncomfortable, and upsetting, but don't make that the sum total of your experience. Find the areas that that can make it enjoyable for you: traveling, meeting new people, the opportunity for new adventures or something else! And encourage your kids to do the same.
Q. Tell us why you launched Chameleon Kids and the mag?
A. The company and magazine came from the thought that our kids were being exposed to a lot of negative information and media about military life. So many ads told them their parents were broken and most people boiled down their life to moving and deployments. Amy (my business partner) and I wanted our kids to see the bright side of the life as a military kid so we launched the company and magazine with that goal.
Q. What's your target audience?
A. Our target audience is all military kids, but the magazine is geared toward kids ages 6 to 14; however, older kids and grown-ups love to read our magazine. Surprisingly, grandparents especially love it because they learn so much about their military grandkids, and teachers love it to learn more about their military-connected students.
Q. What's the message you want to send?
A. Life as a military kid is pretty cool! Let's celebrate it and find the adventure no matter where we live or what is going on.
Q. It's been two years, how are things going? Are you achieving your goals and reaching your audience?
A. It is going great! Every magazine gets filled up pretty fast. As soon as I put out a call for writers, we have kids wanting to contribute. We're on Amazon.com, in Barnes & Noble, most of the major catalogs serving schools and libraries. You can find our magazines in schools and libraries across the world!
Q. How can folks get your mag?
A. The easiest way is to subscribe on our site: www.chameleonkids.com/magazine.
Q. Tell us how kids can write for you?
A. They can reach out to me at firstname.lastname@example.com. I can send them our editorial calendar and writers' guidelines. I also have a database of military kid reporters who I contact before I put together the articles for our next issue, so I can add them to that with their parents' permission.

- Fully Backup Your Server before continuing!
- Manually remove all the SharePoint related web sites using ISS Manager. These are: [1] SBS SharePoint; [2] SharePoint Central Administration v3; [3] Office Server Web Services
- Stop ALL SharePoint Related Services. These include: WSS Tracing; WSS Timer; WSS VSS Writer; WSS Search; WSS Administration
- Stop the "Office SharePoint Server Search" Service
- Stop the "World Wide Web Publishing" Service
- Delete ALL SharePoint Related Databases from SQL Server (using "SQL Server Management Studio Express"). They can be found within the "Microsoft##SSEE" and "OFFICESERVERS" Instances as follows: SharePoint_Admin_Content_xxx; SharePoint_Config_xxx; ShareWebDB; WSS_Content; WSS_Search_<ServerName>; ShareServices_Db_xxx
- Using Add / Remove Programs, attempt to uninstall "Windows Search Server Express 2008"
- Stop any SQL Server Services when prompted
Following a Successful Uninstall
Run the "SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard" to re-create a fresh (empty) SharePoint Installation.
If you have backups of your SharePoint Content (prior to installing Search Server 2008), I would imagine it is perfectly possible to now use those to restore your system to how it was before you attempted to install Search Server Express.

Early this morning, a "wrong-way" driver traveled 10 miles on Interstate 90 (Jane Addams Memorial Tollway) before being stopped at approximately 4:05 a.m.
The van was first reported driving in the wrong direction (going westbound in the eastbound lanes) on I90 at Nagle Avenue; by the time it was stopped, it had traveled to Busse Road, according to the Illinois State Police.
The van was finally stopped by a state maintenance truck, which had turned on its flashing yellow lights. The Illinois State Police then quickly arrived.
No injuries or collisions were reported during the 10-miles driven.
According to the Illinois State Police, the driver of the van failed field sobriety tests and was taken into custody.
Additional details and possible updates can be seen in a variety of media sources including the April 10 Chicago Tribune article titled "Wrong-way driver travels 10 miles down Interstate 90" as well as the April 10 Chicago Sun-Times article titled "Wrong-way driver stopped on Jane Addams."

Damn it's been a long time since my last blog post! I guess we can say I needed time to gear up for 2018? Anyway, here's a quick overview with swatches on Sephora's latest Favorites kit!
The packaging is so cute – the cashier at Sephora was thrown off for a second and thought I brought her Timbits haha! For my non-Canadians, click here for the mini donuts we have at Tim Hortons known as Timbits. They're delicious.
Mini reviews/first impressions and images of the products are below. Swatches are at the end of this post.
Fenty Beauty Mattemoiselle Matte Lipstick – Candy Venom (mini)
This lipstick was a big part of why I wanted the whole box! Like others, I wish the shade they included was something more natural but I am absolutely blown away by this lipstick! It's very creamy and comfortable on the lips despite having a matte finish. The colour I find is extremely flattering on my skin tone, and it lasts quite a while even after eating. It tints your lips slightly so you don't have to touch up that much throughout the day. The only complaint I have is like everyone else's – it's a very narrow product so it's hard to apply. You'd think that a thinner tube would make it easier but actually I found it more difficult to get into my cupid's bow and outline my lips with precision. Otherwise, it's a fantastic product and I definitely want to buy more shades!
Smashbox Always On Metallic Liquid Lipstick – XO, Vlada (full size)
I think Smashbox makes one of the best liquid lipstick formulas on the market! They're easy to apply, very pigmented, last for hours, and come in a bunch of shades. I didn't even know they made metallics until I got this box and I'm pleased to say this one is just as good as their matte formula! Smashbox has a very unique doe-foot applicator with a hole in it so you always have enough product in one swipe – no need to dip back in the tube.
This metallic shade is a beautiful copper brown and looks stunning! It doesn't exaggerate your lip lines too much like other metallic formulas do, even when you pout. I'm not sure when I would wear this since I work in an office but I will definitely find a way haha.
Huda Beauty Lip Strobe – Snobby (mini)
As you can see from the previous animated swatch, this lip topper is extremely reflective and will look beautiful alone, or layered over a product. This is my first time trying something from Huda Beauty and I really like it! The formula is thick and slightly sticky, but not uncomfortable at all. I swiped this all over my lips and there was no unpleasant feeling sticking them together.
I think this is a great product to put in the middle of the lips, especially on top of a gloss, to make them look bigger.
Marc Jacobs Beauty Le Marc Lip Crayon – Night Mauves (full size)
I'm not sure how I feel about this product because as you can see from the first image, it totally fell apart when I opened it! Thankfully I put the stick back in the tube and it works fine without falling out again, but still I'm not impressed. As for the actual product itself, it's interesting because it's a twist-up lip crayon but feels just like a lipstick. It's very creamy, has good pigment and feels comfortable on the lips. This mauve shade is slightly metallic so I'm not sure how people would feel about that.
This product is very similar to the NARS lip crayon but the MJ one I would say is thicker.
treStiQue Mini Plumping Lip Balm – Barbados Berry (6 g)
This is apparently infused with Shea butter and marine collagen to plump lips, making them look up to 32% fuller?? I didn't see much of a plumping effect (my lips aren't small though) but this is definitely a comfortable tinted balm. The packaging is super cute and is designed to be a convenient size to carry around. Ironically I disagree because just like the eos lip balms, you can't put this into a clutch or your pocket easily! Then again I always have a bag or purse with me so it's not a big problem.
Also I will say that the brand's use of models is very deceiving because it's not nearly as pigmented as their video and images make it seem. My swatch below is very light, and that's with multiple layers going back and forth.
My final verdict is that this is an amazing value and you should get your hands on it as soon as you can! It's a fantastic way to try out new lip products and you get 2 full size + minis for $33 CAD. What is there to lose? Most of the shades are neutral and wearable, and would probably look good on almost anyone.
Thanks for reading! More posts coming soon I promise.

Unfortunately many people believe that in order to become wealthy and obtain prestigious titles they must allow themselves to be taken advantage of to varying degrees; sometimes being sexually abused and abused in other ways.
Hollywood is a perfect example but many women in business feel this way too.
I have been a very successful woman in business, even in the automobile industry which is predominately male and stood my grounds and was rewarded monetarily and with a promotion.
I sued an automobile dealership under Title VII for huge income discrimination when I was doing most of the work in the department as the facts showed.
Even though EEOC, which has a very controversial reputation, did not rule in my favor; people in the industry knew my capabilities and I was offered a very lucrative and prestigious management position because of MY CHARACTER. The owner of the dealership knew I held myself to very high standards and was very honest and knew I would run the department accordingly, which I did. The dealership which discriminated against me (and others too) eventually went out of business due to their immoral and corrupt business practices.
Thus, NEVER sacrifice your values and believe you must put up with abuse because you don't.
***No job is worth that and anyone who tells you otherwise has lost their mind, heart and soul and is full of a lot of shame. If you allow yourself to be abused then others in that environment will EXPECT you to abuse others. It is a vicious cycle. Don't get in it and if in it, CHOOSE to get out of it. Make a better life for yourself with truth, honesty and happiness. Money will not make you happy and neither will an undeserved prestigious title which is hiding many secrets.
As always none of this is legal or any other advice; it is based upon my knowledge and experiences.

I am not a fan of Halloween unlike my oldest who loves it and did all sorts of decorations. After he got everything up, much of which you can't see here¸ he got me into posing with "Grimm." I had to indulge him as this is his favorite time of year. It beats Christmas, his birthday and everything else all rolled together.
But, while he is into Halloween, getting scared, slasher movies, the whole nine yards, I have never liked it at all. Even as a kid, I didn't like it. I have always found real life to be plenty scary enough without wanting to be scared for fun. I never understood the thrill of having the undead live, walls that leak blood, entities that come from another dimension and take over the body, etc. Real life seemed to provide all the scaring I ever needed and then some.
That certainly was the case this Halloween as it seemed certain we were not going to make the rent. I have always been terrified of being homeless. I don't know why. I wasn't as a kid ever homeless and I don't think I ever knew anyone who was until I hit college in the early 80s. At that time I knew several folks who, despite working like crazy, could not manage to get their own place and as a result lived out of their cars. So, it wasn't like I personally ever experienced it, but the fear of being homeless always lurked in the back of my mind even when I had a job with a steady income.
These days I have none of that and the fear is a constant one. Made worse by Sandi being home on unpaid medical leave and lots of other things going on here. Things have been bad for a long time and that contributes to stress and everything else. So, it is vicious circle.
I truly believed yesterday morning that we were done. Things looked hopeless and I started packing to get rid of things and making arrangements to take over the blog, a couple of writing groups I run through yahoo, and various other things. My oldest started calling a few of his friends to see if there was anyway his brother, a High School Senior, could move in with them so that he could stay in school.
As the day wore out the tide seemed to change a little bit. The hours passed and then the donations started from as far away as Australia. The fact that anybody cared enough to help yesterday, let alone all along these many past months, boggles my mind. The fact that folks in Australia, half a world away, who don't know me at all would donate to some fat guy living in Texas causes my brain to split apart and smoke on the floor. Because so many chipped in at the last minute we have enough to pay the rent as soon as PayPal finally gets everything moved over.
All I can say is thank you! Thank you from all of us. We appreciate the words of support, the donations, the prayers, etc. and it means an awful lot to us. More than you will ever know. The fact that I could tell everyone here by late yesterday afternoon that everything would be okay once PayPal moved the money was a huge relief. Not to just me but to everyone here. Theoretically I am a writer and should be able to fully express that sentiment, but I can't. Words fail me.
Also, a very special thank you to the several folks who have ordered items from Sandi's craft store over at http://www.ioffer.com/users/sanditipple As I have mentioned before, crafts are a key part of her therapy coming back from her end of July strokes and also help her manage stress. Having a few sales is huge and impacts her mood greatly. With help from us, she got a bunch of new items listed on the site yesterday. Most are holiday/Christmas items but she also has baby blankets, stuffed animals, etc.
So, thank you one and all. You have taken quite a bit of the terror out of this Halloween for us and I thank you one and all. Can't tell you how grateful we all are.

Based on their research, Travis Bradford says that prices for traditional silicon-based panels should fall from $3.66 per watt (2007 figures) to $2.14 per watt in 2010, and more impressively, thin-film PV should go to $1.81 per watt from $2.96. When coal, currently the least expensive source of power, is around $2.10 per watt to generate*, the expected drop in price for solar will make it far more competative.
Any news that solar is becoming more affordable is great as it will encourage more individuals to install them at home, and businesses to do likewise, either to offset their electricity consumption or installing them in a for-profit initiative. The report, however, also highlights an interesting figure - and companies who are currently building silicon-producing facilities that will come online in the next couple of years, should pay attention: The current global production capacity for silicon and thin-film panels is around 3.14 gigawatts, but will hit 12.36 gigawatts in 2010. That's an increase of just under 400%, an enormous amount that is sure to be welcomed by the environmental community.The demand, however, is only expected to be 6.76 gigawatts, up from 2.94 gigawatts in 2007, leaving over 5 gigawatts of unused capacity. Hopefully this will drive prices further down, resulting in greater demand, but this may have already been reflected in the statistics.
The reason for the drop in prices is due to the expected hike in silicon production, a shortage of which is currently being felt. It is expected that silicon availability will quadruple to 125,302 tons by 2012, providing a massive oversupply of the material to the industry. Thin-film manufacturers who use no silicon will not be affected by this overabundance, however they will have to compete with the dropping prices of conventional panels, hence the drop in price.
It may also, though this is probably wishful thinking, push governments to start offering more incentives to those who install solar in a bid to use up the remaining capacity and financially support their manufacturers who by this point will be a very large industry, employing tens of thousands of people.

The (second- or third-) best thing about the Boston Marathon is the runners' names.
And today, they helped us discover the secret to placing high on Boylston Street.
No, it's not training. Or running fast. Or eating right the day before.
It's alliteration.
A full 50 percent of the six top-three finishers (three men, three women) in today's race have alliterative names. There's Desiree Davila, the American woman who came in second, Moses Mosop, the male Kenyan runner-up, and Gebregziabher Gebremariam, the Ethiopian who came in third in the men's race.
(That last one? Instant classic.)
There's no alliteration anywhere in the rest of either top 10. So it stands to reason that, if you're an elite runner named Adam Adams or Jack Jackson, you're going to end up on the Boston Marathon podium.

Today's energy shortages and coming warm weather have homeowners looking for ways to heat and cool their homes much more economically. Windows account for 10-25% of a home's energy loss so that is an excellent place to start economizing. Assuming it costs about $1,300 to heat an average American home, that's up to $325 going right out the window. Cutting energy loss through windows can save far more money than turning off unneeded lights.
Insulating cellular shades can lower energy costs and make homes more comfortable all year round. A well-tested product, Symphony Cellular Shades are made of durable, light weight fully-washable fabric in a unique cellular design that creates an effective thermal barrier against heat loss and gain. This keeps homes warmer in winter and cooler in summer while reducing the strain on heating and cooling systems. Available in a wide range of colors and fabric styles, cellular shades are UV stable and block out 100% of UV rays, the major contributor to fading of home furnishings.
To operate effectively it is most important that each shade be made to precisely fit each window. Trouble free measuring instructions, a downloadable measuring form, design ideas, colors and prices along with free samples are available on the web at CellularWindowShades.com. Consumers may order online using their secure server.

To experience a less touristy and, in my opinion, more beautiful side of Ireland, head to the coastal city of Galway.
Situated on the west coast of Ireland, Galway is the perfect countryside getaway. Filled with authentic pubs, boutique shops and natural wonders, there is no way you'll be bored in this seaside city.
Do and See:
- CLIFFS OF MOHER: Ranked as one of the seven natural wonders of the world, the Cliffs of Moher are the number one suggested sight in Galway. On a clear day, visitors can catch a glimpse at the vast display of cliffs, which are situated 710 feet above the Atlantic Ocean. Unfortunately, the site is roped off relatively far from the edge for safety measures, so you can't as close to the edge as desired. Also, if traveling in the spring, don't be disappointed if much of your view is blocked by a thick fog. There is really no way of planning around this, as a fog could roll in at any time, but prepare yourself for the possibility. If so does occur, as it did when I was there, there is always the option of going to the lower cliffs (still hundreds of feet high) along the Atlantic edge for a clear view.
- KYLEMORE ABBEY IN CONNEMARA: A monastery that sits between the hills of the Connemara and directly on the Atlantic. Both guided tours of the church and a guided mountain hike is available.
- DUNGUAIRE CASTLE: Perhaps the most photographed castle in Ireland, the 16-century Dunguaire Castle sits on the shore of Galway Bay. The grounds are open for tourists to explore, and many tour buses stop at this location.
- Lunch: You can find a number of great cafes along High St. and Shop St.
- Dinner: Some of the best fish and chips can be found in Galway, as it is a coastal city. Have a try of the local pub food.
- Late Night: Pizza Napoli. Huge slices for €2. Enough said.
Night Life: The pubs in Galway are much like bars in the United States. They are much cheaper than anything you'll find in London, very crowded, and a genuinely good time. Beware though: the locals find nothing wrong with talking politics over a pint, so make sure you're well informed!
Getting There: The course of travel we chose (taxi to Victoria Coach Station, shuttle bus to Stanstead Airport, Stanstead to Shannon) is not recommended — try to fly out of Heathrow if at all possible! Fly into Shannon Airport, then take a bus (we chose Bus Eireann) into Galway. Remember to purchase (and print!) your bus ticket, with a return, beforehand.

Good-bye Clearwater
Phillies and Pirates meet in a two-game, O-Deck Series starting tonight at Citizens Bank Park. From 1903 through 1955, the Phillies and Philadelphia A's played pre-season exhibition games called the City Series. Managers in 1943 were Bucky Harris (Phillies) and Connie Mack. Bob Warrington photo.
Outta' Here
The digital clock atop the Bright House Field scoreboard registered the end of the last spring training game yesterday. Good-bye Clearwater. After starting 2-10-1, the Phillies finished 7-7-1, losing the last two via shutouts and getting only three total hits. Hopefully, those bats weren't boarded on the charter flight home last evening.
Cole tossed two innings in a Class A game at Carpenter Complex at the same time the Phillies and Blue Jays were starting next door at Bright House Field. He threw 30 pitches (20 for strikes) in two scoreless innings.
Cole was on the charter flight, will go with the team to Texas on Saturday for Monday's opener and then return to Clearwater to continue his rehab program.
After the game, he was placed on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to March 21, along with Gonzalez, Martin, Ruf and Galvis. Adams was put on the DL, retroactive to March 26. Pettibone, who pitched two scoreless innings against the Blue Jays, was optioned to Lehigh Valley.
Clearwater total attendance ended at 121,915. It is the eighth straight spring they have topped 120,000. The 11,210 crowd for the Red Sox on March 21 set a new Bright House Field record.
Starting on Monday, the Phillies will honor longtime owner Claire Betz this season with a patch on their uniforms with the initials "CB." Mrs. Betz died on Feb. 6. She and her late husband, John Drew Betz, became Phillies owners in 1981.
Minor League Camp
Lehigh Valley, Reading and Lakeland clubs leave Clearwater tomorrow. Players assigned to the Clearwater Threshers carry their bags 600 feet south to Bright House Field.
Players not making those rosters will continue at Carpenter Complex in extended spring training which begins on April 3. Williamsport and the Gulf Coast League Phillies begin their seasons in June.
Releases yesterday: Colby Shreve and Samuel Dove.
Countdown to Opening Day
3 more day and the Phillies 2014 season begins in Texas.
When it comes to which player wore #3 for the most seasons, Todd Pratt comes out on top, six. Hall of Famer Chuck Klein wore it in 1932-33. On the bench, seven seasons each for manager Danny Ozark and coach Claude Osteen. Currently, Marlon Byrd is #3.
Opening Day Moments
April 11, 1907–Following a heavy snowstorm, the Phillies open the season against the Giants in New York's Polo Grounds. Groundskeepers shovel large drifts of snow onto the outer edges of the field in foul territory. After falling behind, 3-0, disappointed NY fans began hurling snowballs onto the playing field, disrupting play. Fans began rushing the field to continue the snowball fight. After home plate umpire Bill Klem was hit by a snowball, he called a forfeit in favor of the Phillies, 3-0. (Baseball Almanac.com)
Bookmobile"If These Walls Could Talk" is the title of my new book which will be available starting May 1 in book stores and on-line. Triumph Books (triumphbooks.com) is the publisher. Larry Bowa wrote the foreword.

Just FYI……it's Pettibone not Pettigrew and Lakewood not Lakeland. :). Thanks for your reports, though!

Iran Human Rights (IHR); November 30, 2018: A prisoner was hanged in public at Iranian city of Taft (Central Iran) on Thursday, November 29. The man was suffering from mental disability and had previously been hospitalized in a Psychiatric hospital, according to the Iranian media reports.
According to Iranian media, the man whose first name identified as Kamran, was suffering from mental disability and was hospitalized in a Psychiatric hospital before committing a murder. Kamran was 19 when he murdered a 36 old woman; and told the prosecutors that he loved the victim. "I expressed my love to her and she refused. I decided to take revenge," the prisoner had said in his confessions.
According to the Yazd Province Judiciary Courthouse's Public Relations department, Kamran was hanged in public in Taft city, on the morning of Thursday, November 29.
UN human rights experts, including the former Special Rapporteur on the Situation of Human Rights in Iran, had previously drawn particular attention to continued reports of public executions. "a dehumanising effect on both the victim and those who witness the execution" and ultimately reinforced the "already cruel, inhuman and degrading nature of the death penalty," UN experts said.
Iran Human Rights (IHR) warns against the new wave of executions in Iran and urges the UN, EU, and countries with diplomatic relations with Iran to react immediately and accordingly.
"We demand the halt of all executions, especially public executions which are inhumane and disdainful, and increase the level of violence in society, "IHR spokesperson and director, Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam, emphasised, "At the first anniversary of the nationwide protests in Iran, we are concerned that the Iranian authorities will use more executions and terror to avoid new protests."
IHR has previously reported about other cases where people with mental illness have been executed in Iran.

WallyPark scores big with frequent flyers
world's first "designer" parking
In Los Angeles and surrounding communities where people virtually live in their vehicles and at a time when consumers increasingly became enamored with anything "designer." we positioned WallyPark as the world's first designer parking facility offering more services and amenities than any other parking lot around the L.A. airport area.
Nearly every airport parking competitor has since copied the WallyPark high-end model, but they haven't surpassed the memorable WallyPark branding.
My client, Regency Development, is a Dallas-based commercial real estate development firm serving financial institutions and the private investment community. A review of a property near LAX which Regency managed, for Dry Dock Dollar Bank of New York, revealed that the high-rise building was originally constructed with insufficient and cumbersome parking. A solution to the parking problem was not possible within the structure itself. It was therefore necessary to look elsewhere for a parking solution. Parking was already in short supply near the airport and the decision was to acquire an adjacent property and develop it as a parking structure in order to turn the high-rise property into a viable business proposition. However the new parking structure required an investment of $30 million. This investment would have to be justified. We were retained to create a branding, marketing and PR program for this new parking structure to enable this business to prosper on its own.
- To develop an entirely new airport parking service offering, with a brand identity and positioning that would have broad appeal to the traveling public, and;
- Design a marketing program to launch WallyPark in a way that would put it on the map and become the best known and preferred parking facility around L.A. airport.
program implementation
- We designed a multi-faceted marketing and public-relations program, targeting both frequent flyer's and leisure travelers, which would position WallyPark as a unique and attractive offering, including:
- The development of a product identification system to make WallyPark stand out in the minds of consumers;
- A press kit and news releases prepared for an initial news media blitz;
- A grand-opening event in which members of the news media were invited to preview WallyPark;
- A memorable radio advertising campaign to increase awareness of WallyPark;
- A trade campaign including trade-publication print advertising and regular editorial exposure through ongoing press releases;
- Direct marketing program to frequent flyers which included promotional offers and third-party endorsements; and
- Cross-promotions including insertion of WallyPark promotional offerings in airline ticketing packets.
The grand-opening was attended by ABC, NBC and CBS news, among others, to get a glimpse of the latest "designer parking" phenomenon. Television and radio news coverage was extensive, including feature stories on the evening news by all major networks for several evenings following the grand opening. ABC provided a national feed to the Good Morning America show. Feature articles appeared in news print across the country including page one coverage on USA Today, Los Angeles Times, New York Times, WSJ and many more. What began as a single parking solution to save the fortunes of a struggling adjacent high-rise building has now grown to a $600 million dollar annual business with 15 WallyPark facilities across the U.S. and more on the way. At some point there will be a WallyPark at every major airport in the U.S.

We pray. We study the Bible. We make friends. We tell our stories. We give ourselves away in generosity and service.
Dear God,
There are so many things that are obligations, things I have to do. I hear people say "the only thing you have to do is pay taxes and die." Nope. At least it doesn't feel that way to me. Because I am in relationships, because I live in a world where other people live, I have certain duties to perform as a husband, a father, a son, a friend, a citizen, a pastor, a leader, a member of St. Luke's, and most of all, a Christian. All of these are covenants of which I am a part. And when I have my head screwed on right, I know that these duties are what life is all about, that doing the very tasks required by these covenants gives me great joy. Is it possible, God, to know joy at the same time I do something that is an obligation? I think so, God. Each task is a small investment in something that really matters. And the more I invest, the more I experience the blessings of that relationship and promise. You created me to serve. You created me to give, to give myself away, a minute, an hour, a day at a time. And when I do that which I was created to do, I feel joy! Thank you, God. Send me to do my duty to my family, my church, my community, my country, my fellow human beings, and most of all, to you.
In the name of the one who came to do his duty for us, Jesus Christ.
It's the same with you. When you've done everything expected of you, be matter-of-fact and say, 'The work is done. What we were told to do, we did.'" –Luke 17:10 (The Message) Read the whole scripture passage for this Sunday here: Luke 17:7-10
When has duty been a joy for you? How would you answer the question "what were you made to do?"
Last Sunday's grand opening and ribbon cutting was so amazing. What a wonderful spirit of gratitude and joy our congregation has. I am so thankful for everyone who has worked so hard to make the day so special. It is such a privilege to serve this congregation and to work with this team of staff and lay leaders. Just yesterday, we received our permanent certificate of occupancy, so the Johnson building will be open for entrance to the main buildings. Classes and groups will be moving to new spaces at various times in the future, so watch for information about those moves. Yay.
We continue our series this week, entitled Rich in Heart, as we look at the components of a rich and full life and how generosity both helps us take hold of that life and grows out of it. We will look at "duty," and discuss how our generosity and service grow out of covenants of which we are a part. If you are a member of St. Luke's church, I hope you received a letter from me and a commitment card in the mail. Your financial decision is between you and the Lord, but I ask that you please take it seriously. We ask that you pray through the prayers below, one for each day, to help you discern God's will for your 2017 financial commitment. Your pledge is important because
1) it is a way that you are intentional about your own generosity, and
2) it helps the church to budget to meet our needs. You can make that commitment online here, and we will dedicate our pledge cards on Sunday, October 30.
Sunday, October 23
Heavenly Father, help me to be the man you want me to be- father, son, husband, brother, friend and all the other roles you've given me in life. Be with me as I work to become who you want me to be.
-Mike Stroman, Generosity Committee

Tuesday, October 25
Today, focus on the many amazing ministries at St. Luke's. Think about the lives of children, youth and adults we bring closer to Jesus through these ministries. Give thanks to God for all God is doing at St. Luke's through our many programs.
Wednesday, October 26
Today, think about the joy you receive serving within a ministry at St. Luke's. Everyone has a role in accomplishing the Lord's mission and what a gift it is to give oneself away in generosity and service. Thank God for the opportunity to serve our church and the world.

Today, think about your current giving level and prayerfully consider increasing your gift. Give thanks to God for all God has given you and for the strength to step out in faith and give more.
Friday, October 28

MEXICO CITY (AP) — America's soccer team is getting some love from the most unlikely place: Mexican sports fans.
Mexican newspapers on Wednesday published banner headlines reading "We Love You," and "Thank You, USA," after the U.S. kept Mexico's World Cup qualifying hopes alive with a 3-2 victory over Panama.
Mexico and the U.S. are usually bitter rivals. Feelings are so strong in Mexico that fans chanted the name of Osama bin Laden as the Star Spangled Banner played in a 2004 Olympic qualifying game.
Mexico lost its Tuesday match 2-1 against Costa Rica. If Panama had held onto its lead and beaten the United States, Mexico would have been eliminated from the World Cup qualifying rounds. But the U.S. scored two goals in the closing minutes of the match to pull ahead.

ATHENS – Greece's government presented a new austerity package to parliament on Monday as a week of strikes and protests kicked off over proposals that lawmakers must approve if the country is to secure more aid and stave off bankruptcy.
Parliament is expected to vote on Prime Minister Antonis Samaras's 13.5-billion euros (US$17-billion) package of cost cuts and tax hikes on Wednesday along with measures making it easier for firms to hire and fire workers.
Despite public exasperation at four years of belt-tightening that has helped wipe out a fifth of the economy and leave a quarter of Greeks jobless, the package and a tough budget slated for a vote on Sunday are expected to scrape through parliament.
Greece's powerful main public and private sector unions will launch a 48 hour strike against the legislation on Tuesday and plan marches in the centre of Athens. Journalists, doctors, transport workers and shopkeepers also planned stoppages.
Approval of the reforms and the passage of the 2013 budget are crucial to unlocking 31.5-billion euros in aid from an International Monetary Fund and European Union bailout that has been on hold for months.
"These will be the last cuts in wages and pensions," Samaras said in a speech aimed at galvanizing the members of his centre-right New Democracy party.
"We promised to avert the country's exit from the euro and this is what we are doing. We have given absolute priority to this because if we do not achieve this everything else will be meaningless."
Without the aid, Greece will not be able to redeem a 5- billion euro treasury bill falling due on November 16. The bulk of the new aid tranche, some 25-billion euros, is earmarked to recapitalize Greece's struggling banks and kick-start moribund lending, a prerequisite to climbing out of recession.
But union leaders say the measures will simply deepen an economic contraction expected to run into next year.
"Our labour action next week will be part of efforts to avert policies that will sink the country deeper into recession and destroy the fabric of society," Yannis Panagopoulos, head of the GSEE private sector umbrella union, told Reuters.
The capital's 14,000 taxi drivers are on strike and office workers complained of long commutes due to a halt on the city's metro, tram and city trains, which serve 500,000 people a day.
Protests will intensify on Tuesday, ratcheting up pressure on coalition deputies whose parties have slid in polls since a June election in the Mediterranean country of 10 million.
On Friday, a poll showed New Democracy's support had fallen to 22%, from 30% in the June election. Its Socialist PASOK partner had fallen to 7%, down from 12.3% according to the PULSE survey.
"Everything is black and it will only get worse. They have exterminated us. They have turned us into prisoners," said Eleni Tatsou, 38, who works in a kebab shop in central Athens.
Everything is black and it will only get worse. They have exterminated us. They have turned us into prisoners
"I haven't been paid for eight months, but I know nothing will change if I quit, so I'm waiting. Maybe I'll get paid one day. Maybe a miracle will happen."
The smallest party in the ruling coalition, the Democratic Left, has pledged to stay in government but rejects the plans to cut wages and severance payments and scrap automatic wage hikes, saying they will devastate workers who have borne the brunt of the crisis.
"We will not vote in favour of these measures," Dimitris Hatzisokratis, a Democratic Left spokesman, told Reuters. "But we will support the budget, which means we are giving our vote of confidence to this government."
PASOK is struggling to shore up support for the measures after one of its deputies quit on Thursday in the wake of a narrow victory in pushing through a privatization bill also demanded by the lenders, cutting PASOK's numbers to 32 seats.
At least five of those members have said they may not back the reforms. Without them, New Democracy and PASOK's remaining members are expected to muster around 154 of parliament's 300 votes, a move analysts say is vital to the government's survival and Greece avoiding insolvency later this month.
"The measures will pass, but the majority will be so slim that it will raise questions over the government's future viability," said Costas Panagopoulos, head of Alco pollsters.
Greece is hoping the "troika" of the IMF, European Commission and European Central Bank lenders extend a deadline to achieve a primary budget surplus of 4.5%, a measure of public finances minus debt maintenance costs.
That would give the battered economy breathing room, but the government has said it would shrink more than forecast in 2013 and debt would peak at 192% of GDP in 2014, 10 percentage points higher than earlier forecast.
That has increased the prospect of another round of debt restructuring, a source of conflict between the IMF and Greece's biggest EU creditor Germany who both privately say the Greek debt trajectory is unsustainable.

Looking back 32 years, today's Bonus Sunday offers up a great Vacationland magazine from Fall/Winter 1976-77.
Complete Vacationland Fall/Winter 1976-77 – 67mb
This issue is full of neat articles. There's a fun A thru Z of Disneyland on the first few pages (you'll have to download the entire issue to see it). Then there are a few articles about long lost places at Disneyland. "Town Square Cafe" sounds perfect for that area of the park, too bad it's just another store now!
Aboard Capt. Hooks Galley, who'd a thought you could miss a tuna sandwich restaurant?
Space Mountain Update… Lots of fun facts in here; special "chicken" ramp (used once by me in 1978), "Guests can also view the attraction in actual operation before boarding (the smoke-glass windows in the queue line they later took out) and astronaut Gordon Cooper appears in a short film.
It's always interesting how the Vacationlands ran ads for other southern California amusement/theme parks. I guess they didn't feel these other places were much of a threat, and they really weren't. I am so digging that mid-70's artwork, groovy baby.

Happy Wednesday, how has your week been so far? 🙂 Mine has been very busy and doesn't look like it's getting any better the next days, but I don't want to complain. Better a busy week than nothing to do! Christmas, as well as NYE, are coming, and I'm planning a lot of different projects, such as giveaways, special posts and much more. You should definitely stay tuned for more 😉 But for now there's only a new outfit waiting for you:
I wasn't sure about this look because it's definitely not what I would usually choose. First I combined the shirt with black jeans and black booties, but the longer I was looking at this look I got bored. I've been wearing this kind of outfits a lot lately, and I decided to go for something more varied. In the end, I chose a boyfriend jeans and boots without a heel. Usually, I would always wear heeled shoes in combination with boyfriend jeans to make my legs look longer. But I wanted a challenge. I felt very comfortable, but it was a challenge to take nice pictures for sure. Most of the pictures were looking unflattering; you have to pose and behave differently when you're combining boyfriend jeans with flat shoes. Have you ever tried this combination? What do you think about it?
H&M Collaboration
It has been almost a year since the Alexander Wang x H&M collection came out and tomorrow is the day when the next one will be available in stores and online. I'm pretty excited about the Balmain x H&M collection and can't wait to shop some of the pieces 😉 Yep; I'll definitely be one of the girls waiting in front of the store at 8 am in the morning, probably earlier. What about you? To celebrate this new collection I decided to wear one piece of the last one the other day and well, here is the look. I already talked about this outfit before, so no need for more words. Let me know what you think and enjoy your day. <3

Wakefield Council has responded to a statement issued by the owners of Wakefield Trinity today (7 November).
The Deputy Leader of Wakefield Council, Cllr Denise Jeffery, said: "We are saddened and extremely disappointed that the owners of Wakefield Trinity have resorted to the threat of legal action.
"Whilst we would very much welcome the opportunity to address, in court, the serious and completely untrue allegations that have been levelled at us, our priority is to try and get a community stadium delivered for the people of this district.
"Yet again, we are dismayed by the wholly inaccurate comments made by the club owners about the Newmarket development, especially the claim that there is a 'legally binding obligation for the Council to provide a 99 year lease at a peppercorn yearly rental to the Wakefield and District Community Trust' as there is no reference, at all, in the Unilateral Undertaking to this.
"Although it is it frustrating that the club continue to publish inaccurate statements, it is the fact that it misleads fans and residents that concerns us the most."
"Legal action will be a very costly and lengthy course of action for all parties involved and ultimately the people who will lose the most is the fans and residents, and that is the most upsetting part of this situation."
A full chronology of all the activity relating to the Newmarket development is available on Wakefield Council's website, along with the documents about the Unilateral Undertaking which was signed by the developer, Yorkcourt Properties Ltd, and Eric Pickles, who was the Secretary of State at the time.
Wakefield Council has reiterated on numerous occasions to the club that the Council is powerless to compel the developer to build the stadium unless the triggers laid out in the Unilateral Undertaking are met. These are triggers that were imposed on Wakefield Council by the Secretary of State – triggers that the Council did not and would not have agreed to.
On the 20 September Wakefield Trinity agreed in principle with the proposal put forward to develop a new stadium at Belle Vue. The owners of the club then walked away from what would have secured the future of Wakefield Trinity in this city.
Wakefield Council cannot comment on specific details of the contracts that are in place between Castleford Tigers and the company that is building the stadium as part of the Five Towns development.

Glasnevin Cemetery Tour
As part of Heritage Week Glasnevin Cemetery guided tours are free all this week at 2.30 and 7.30. I took one yesterday never having actually explored the cemetery. Our guide was Shane MacThomáis who has been the resident historian and tour guide to Glasnevin Cemetery for over ten years. He was excellent, very knowledgeable and very witty.
He showed us many of the more important graves, DeValera, Parnell, Collins, O'Connell but also told us a lot about the history of the place and the current plans for renewal and for developing it as national monument. A new history and interpretative centre is being built and should be open next Easter. The whole cemetery is being restored to the state is was around 1900 - a fine Victorian-style garden cemetery with manicured grass and carefully cobbled paths flanked by well-pruned hedges.
I was most impressed with the Parnell headstone, set apart in a grassy circle, Wicklow granite and just the single word. Just like the man himself I think. The DeValera and Collins monuments are very modest, the Dev one in particular is a regular small family headstone in a row of similar monuments. Not far from the Collins grave is Kitty Kiernan's resting place - with her husband. She died twenty three years after Collins, of cancer.
There are about one and a half million people buried in the cemetery though most of these have no headstone or marker. The cemetery does have a record of every burial since its foundation and these are being put on the internet. There is a charge for looking up burials.
There are still about two thousand plots available to purchase in the cemetery. They cost from three thousand euro to around forty thousand euro depending on location.

I found the cemetery a great source for my own family history. The records for one (unmarked) grave actually listed seven people in there from 4 different generations and provided a long-sought link between two families.
