FAQ's About Wild Animal Shampoo
Q. For allergies to certain chemicals and scents what should I use?
A. Always use natural Shampoo to avoid allergic or skin burn reactions to the animal or you. Harsh chemical shampoo, dishwashing soap and human shampoo will cause skin and coat damage because of the ingredients and PH balance are not designed for this purpose.
Q. I've diluted the shampoo, and the next day there was a horrible egg, sulfur smell, did I do something wrong, or is it a bad batch?
A. Always use clean mixing bottles and make sure daily to wash with hot water and sterilize the mixing bottle with a tablespoon of chlorine bleach in a gallon of hot water then rinse thoroughly until you can no longer smell chlorine. This will avoid contaminating the product and causing bad odor and coat irritation from contamination.
Q. Can I use the same bottle for different shampoos?
A. Be organized, each product should have its own marked or labeled bottle to avoid cross contamination. This will also avoid accidentally using the wrong product.
Q. Can I mix and or dilute my shampoo days or weeks in advance and will this affect the shampoo?
A. Always mix only what you will use for one day. This will make natural products more effective and not allow bacteria to form in the stagnate product. Bacteria will cause irritating itching on the animals skin, and bad odors.
Q. Should I brush the animal before I shampoo??
A. We recommend always to brush the matt's out if possible before applying shampoo, this will ensure that the product can be applied thoroughly and effectively. This will also ensure the coat and skin will be cleaned and treated to the best possible extent.
Q. What is the best way to rinse all the shampoo out of the coat?
A. Always rinse the animal with lukewarm to mildly hot water. Always rinse the shampoo completely out of the coat. This will ensure the best possible effect and prevent irritation or itching from shampoo residue. Rinse until the water is clear, when no suds or bubbles are visible in the water that is streaming out of the coat, then rinse again.
Q. Is it really necessary or true I shouldn't use a chemical pesticide to kill fleas on my animal?
A. We recommend you always use natural, highly effective, and safe flea products to avoid irritation and toxic contamination to the animals, people, and the environment. Chemical pesticides can cause severe negative impact and some have even been banned by the EPA.
Q. How do I shampoo around the eye area of animals?
A. Always use caution when shampooing in the eye area. Just a drop in the eyes of an approved eye drops or a pure, clear, approved mineral oil can be a great preventive. Harsh scrubbing in the eye area can cause damage and even tear the eye cornea. Always consult a veterinarian for any further questions.
Q. Is it okay to leave the coat of the animal partially damp?
A. Always dry the hair thoroughly. Dry the hair all the way to the skin. This makes for a healthy coat , looks better, and is easier to groom.
Q. I've shampooed my animal thoroughly with a flea shampoo and still see fleas, now what?
A. Always apply natural flea products around the neck, ears, rear, pads, and paws FIRST. This prevents fleas from hiding and surviving in those areas as they sense the washing application.

Avoiding hurricanes is a lofty goal for those of us in the Louisiana area. Unfortunately, we can be pretty certain that if our house wasn't hit last year, it probably will be this year. Thankfully, there are things we can do to protect our homes and reduce the damage as much as possible.
Protect yourself and your family first, but have your home ready to go before a storm strikes.
At Three Rivers, we know the worry our customers experience during the busy season, so to make your hurricane preparations easier, we've created this handy checklist.
It's designed to take you in and around your home so you can best review what needs to be done. You may also find it useful for preparing for other heavy storms.
Study Your Insurance and Take Inventory
Let's start with the big stuff: insurance. You need to know your plan and coverage ahead of time. Otherwise, you may find yourself scrambling around after the damage is done, trying to figure out what's covered and what's not.
Be sure to check off the following first:
- Reread your plan
- Look for areas that need updating
- Call your agent to address any questions or confusing terms
- Make sure you have enough coverage to repair and rebuild if necessary
- Update your policy if you've recently updated your home
- Review the deductible
Now it's time to go over everything in your home. Take stock of the following:
- List everything in your home to create a digital inventory
- Take photographs of items
- Categorize belongings
- Include valuables including jewelry and electronics
- Store the information in cloud based system for easy access from anywhere
- Compare belongings with plan coverage
You'll also want to check out your emergency kit if you have one already (if you don't, make one!) Replace any missing items or purchase a new one if necessary. Don't forget the backup chargers, batteries and radio.
Move On to Outside Preparations
Start with the trees and bushes on your property.
- Trim and prune them (This allows them to take more hits from the wind without falling over as easily.)
- Remove or cut back any branches that face your home
- Pick up any debris from the ground and roof
- Secure loose shingles on the roof
- Clean up patio furniture, lawn decorations and toys
- Any large items that must be left outside should be covered and secured with a tarp
Next, move on to your windows, gutters and garage.
- Secure your windows with permanent storm shutters
- Reinforce them with plywood if needed
- Deep clean your gutters and downspouts
- Add a new garage door or reinforce the one you have.
An impact resistant garage door is a good investment. It may reduce the amount of water that enters in the area.
Reviewing the Inside
Your inside preparations are a bit trickier. Depending on the timeline you're working with, you may be able to pack up as many belongings as possible and bring your valuables with you should you decide to evacuate.
Regardless of whether you're preparing in advance or working with a shorter amount of time, do the following:
- Deadbolt doors and fix any locks
- Make extra copies of keys
- Turn off and unplug everything
- Make a contacts list
- Organize your personal documents and have everything ready to go
- Buy and pack up water, non-perishable food and clothes
- Check batteries in flashlights
- Have medicine organized for each family member
- Move any items that you can't take with you to the highest level of your home
Finally, have your home generator ready to go. These low maintenance machines can keep the electricity running during a storm, hurricane or just bad weather. If you do decide to evacuate, if your home hasn't sustained any severe damage you will be able to return sooner, & it will be much more comfortable with your own power source! To find the generator right for your home, reach out to the team of experts at Three Rivers Air and Heat for a free consultation.

Burned by Boston
I tried updating my Facebook status about 15 times today but was at a loss for words.
Or there were too many words.
For those who have been following my journey, trying to qualify for the Boston Marathon has been the ever elusive target. When I first started running marathons back in 2011, I thought there was no way I'd ever be able to run a qualifying time (and that's when the standard was 5:59 slower than it currently stands). In 2012 I missed qualifying by 23 seconds. I tried in early 2013 and ended up suffering from heat exhaustion. By fall of 2013 I was ready — and ran an 11 minute qualifier.
Then life happened. I had surgery (ironically, registration day was the same day as my surgery). I spent a year recovering from surgery. I had a baby. I had more hip pain. I had pelvic floor issues after the baby.
Then, I gutted it out and decided to go for it again. I wasn't in my best shape, but I was in qualifying shape. So I went for it.
The race was much harder than it should have been, even given my current fitness. I ran a little slower than I knew I was capable of, but it was all I had in my on that day. I ran a 3:31:48 – 3 minutes and 12 seconds under the qualifying standard. Every other year it would have been enough. By a long shot.
I was going to make a second attempt this fall to give myself a bigger cushion, but quite frankly, I didn't have it in me. My June race was 7 1/2 months postpartum. I trained completely sleep deprived (waking up every 45 minutes during the night only to wake up for the day at 4:30 a.m. – netting about 2-3 hours of sleep each day) while also working full time as an attorney. I gave it what I had. I went right back into training, but a few weeks in my body started rejecting running. Physically and mentally – I was tapped out. I decided it was wiser to take a break than to keep pushing through and setting myself back even further. I was almost certain that my cushion would be enough.
As registration day creeped up, I found myself distancing myself from all of the Boston chatter. I'd been down that road. I'd been disappointed. I'd made it and that still hadn't been enough. I'd revolved my life around Boston for so long it started to take on a life of its own. All I wanted to do was run the damn race. I'd been in "Boston shape" for 5 years and just wanted the opportunity to check the box and move on. I truly thought that this was my year. That the lessons had been learned from the adversity. That hard word and perseverance would finally pay off.
It didn't. Not in the way that I had hoped. Yet again, I found myself on the outside. This time by 11 seconds.
I have been advocating a drop in the qualifying times for years. I believe that a qualifying time should mean something and that those who meet it should have the opportunity to run. A flat time buffer isn't fair percentage-wise either, as it's far more difficult for a 3:05 marathoner to run over 3 minutes faster than a 3:30 or 4:00 marathoner. I would be far less heartbroken if I had simply missed my goal rather than been good enough, but still not good enough for the ever moving target. But that's a whole separate post.
I found out when I was at lunch with clients. Since I couldn't let my emotion get the best of me, I became numb. Surprisingly, it was a few hours before I finally cried. Then the sadness turned to anger. But I realized something — I don't think this is a "get back on the horse" and try again situation. Quite frankly, I'm so sick of the obsession that that fire just isn't there right now.
The reason I am taking this so hard is two-fold. And neither reason is about the race itself.
First, it's the sheer principle of the situation. I feel like I have been through my share of adversity in going after this goal. I know that I deserve to be there. I am hard enough on myself. I don't need someone (or something) else adding to that feeling of inadequacy. But life's not fair. I get it.
Second, and more pressing, is the fact that I feel lost. My first few marathons were transformative experiences and have left me with a sense of purpose. Even after qualifying (whatever that now means) my most recent races haven't left me with the same sense of accomplishment. I know that I need to take a break from the BQ-marathon goal. I just don't know what that looks like. Or where that leaves me. I don't do well aimless and goalless, so this needs to be figured out sooner than later. Right now I just feel like I'm floating along, having some sort of athletic identity crisis.
These are my feelings. So I'm putting them out there, despite the fact I feel like a petulant child. Because really, it's just a race. I have wonderful friends and family. I have my health. I have the things that really matter. I know in the big picture I am very fortunate. Regardless, I am laying low for a bit, because even though I know these things, I need to grieve. I need to cry. Even if it's just a stupid race. Because for better or worse, that's how I feel.
The highlight of my day today was picking up my daughter after work. She reached out her arms for me and gave me the biggest gummy smile. I realized that while it's okay to let myself to have a pity-party today, I need to move on and reenergize. Because there is so much more to life than just one race.

To be honest, I've never really blogged before, save for when I was 11 years old and my best friend and I slapped together a couple of beauty sites. Still, we ripped everything off of Cosmogirl (ahh, the days of innocence).
Ten years later, I'm taking another stab at it, except now I have both personal experience and a thorough understanding of plagiarism :P.
Let me elaborate on the personal experience: it all started in the 12th grade, when I had a localized growth spurt. Where was it, you ask? In my bra. Suddenly I was "well endowed".
I was still wearing my sister's C-cup hand-me-down bras when it became evident that something was wrong; I was uncomfortable and spilling out of them. I figured that I needed new bras that weren't stretched out, so I went to a lingerie store near my house named Change. As fate would have it, this store specialized in larger bra sizes.
When I approached the salewoman, she asked me if I knew my size. I confidently answered, "34 C". She looked me up and down, smiled with sheer amusement, and replied, "There is no way you're a 34 C, hunny".
I ended up buying a 30 F bra that day. I was stunned - how could this have happened? Why was my size so abnormal? I had never heard of anyone having a 30 F cup in my life. What's worse, they warned me that I really needed a 28 band, which even specialty stores did not carry in my cup size. Not only was every mainstream, relatively cheap bra store like Victoria Secret or La Senza off-limits to me, but even the expensive stores that specialized in uncommon sizes could not help me.
I tried to console myself with the knowledge that my 30 F bras still fit, and that after all, it was just a number/letter - albeit an expensive one.
But soon I grew even larger, and the F cups just didn't fit anymore. I also began noticing that the 30 band didn't seem to be supportive enough for my comfort or my appearance. I began looking high and low for 28 bands in larger cup sizes, but no store seemed to carry them. I couldn't even find 30 bands in sizes larger than an F.
Desperate for a bra that - at the very least - fully encased my breasts, I bought a few 34 DD's at La Senza. Because the bands were so incredibly loose, though, the straps had to take on full responsibility for supporting the weight of my chest. Obviously this caused a number of problems, from shoulder pain to a sagging silhouette.
Feeling frustrated and isolated, I began my search for a better bra again. I ended up finding a 30 FF at a high-end specialty store, which I shelled out around 200 dollars for. The band was still too loose, but due to my lack of options, I wore the bra practically every day.
Obviously, the straps and the band quickly stretched out, and the bra looked awful on me. 200 dollars for one month's worth of a kind-of-okay bra? Screw that.
I pretty much gave up on high end stores, and ended up wearing the same stretched out bra - the only one I owned that was vaguely comfortable and flattering - practically every day for a year.
Then one day, during one of my google-browsing sessions, I came across Bravissimo. Bravissimo is a reasonably-priced bra store in England that targets women with larger busts, while also carrying smaller band sizes. I quickly ordered off of their website (they ship worldwide), and excitedly awaited my order.
Through some expensive trial and error (shipping prices there and back), I found my size: 28 G.
I was ecstatic and relieved to find cute bras (my other ones looked like the kind your great granny might give away to charity), which actually felt secure, fitted, and comfortable. I looked way better in my clothes, I felt a lot sexier in my underwear, I didn't have to worry about embarrassing pop-outs, I did not have aching, sore breasts by the end of the day, and there were no more wires scratching me.
After feeling disregarded by the lingerie industry for so long, and dealing with the consequences of ill-fitting bras, I feel it's important to help other women who are struggling with the same issues. We all deserve to feel confident, beautiful, and comfortable.
That is why I plan to write about my experiences and knowledge in this blog, which will hopefully help other women find their perfect bra.
I won't lie, it feels weird to put pictures of my body online, especially because I recently recieved some pretty nasty comments about my bust size. But the lovely, confident women of Thin and Curvy and The Curvy Kitten have inspired me to be happier in my own skin, and I'd like to do the same for others.
Stay tuned for an in-depth review of the Deco Bra!

It's R-Mean's birthday, and he reverses the custom by gifting us with a new Mean Monday joint called "Pictures." The moody, reflective track finds Mean teamed up with Joe Budden, the rapper turned "Everyday Struggle" host, and the pair exchange personal verses. Pharomazan handles production duties, keeping the vibe dark yet energetic with some up-tempo drums.
It's unclear whether this track is unreleased or new, as Joe Budden has made his retirement abundantly clear. Still, it's nice to see these two lyricists in the zone, as both are more than capable of pairing vivid imagery with clever bars.
Quotable Lyrics
Authentic, why you holdin' a grudge?
I caught flak all my life, I'm a golden glove
My reality don't change from opinions
Nor is my opinion ever altered by minions

To all our Valued Customers:
We at Quiky want all of your visits to be a great experience. To help us make this happen we would like to share a few tips to get the best out of your Quiky Car Wash experience.
• Bugs and dirt on front of vehicles: Carwashes generally do a great job removing bugs and dirt off the front of your vehicles. Quiky has moved to using brushes and bug and tar remover that can help in getting a majority of stuck on bug and dirt. Depending on how long the bugs have been there and age of your vehicle will determine if the bugs can be removed. Older vehicles, where the top coat finish is fading and bugs that have been dried for several days by sun and heat from your engine will not able to be removed by our car wash. Quiky Car washes do not utilize any equipment that can remove these stubborn, stuck on stains. We recommend using a Bug and Tar remover application, which can be purchased at any automotive store, prior to visiting our car wash. Some of our members stay on top of these issues by washing their vehicle regularly using our monthly membership plans.
• Trucks and Truck beds: We ask all our truck driving customers to remove all loose debris from their truck beds. Excessive leaves, straw, dirt, etc. get into our Reclaim water system and impact the ability of our wash to properly clean the water. Cost of pumping tanks and filling landfills can be greatly reduced with your help. Excessive mud under truck wheel wells and undercarriages get into our trench and filtration system. This causes clogging and, at times, shutting down of our car wash while we pump out and clean our trenches. Simply hosing or scraping of dirt will make the wash a pleasurable and clean experience for all our guests.
• Loose vehicles parts: Older vehicles or vehicles with loose or damaged parts such as license plates, loose trim, molding, fenders or bumpers that are damaged can get detached in our car wash and be pulled off causing your vehicle or another customer's vehicle to be scratched or damaged. We provide tape for loose trim, wipers or loose fenders. It is up to you to check your vehicle and make sure you can utilize our car wash. We would be happy to discuss any concern with you and want to make sure you have a great and Quiky Wash on your next visit.
• Car Wash Speed: We are a very popular neighborhood car wash and we are grateful to all that visit our locations. We do want you to understand the speed in which our car wash conveyor moves is set to get the best wash with our soaps, rinse and dryers. To enable us to get you through quickly, please follow the instruction of our attendants, keep foot of brake, car in neutral and hands of the steering wheel. Please pay attention while in car wash. To our members, please make sure your charge cards attached to your account are up to date so you are not delayed in the member lane. Changes to your account can be done by emailing us at firstname.lastname@example.com. Our attendants are usually busy at the carwashes and changes when in line can delay the wash lines. Please keep in mind, the Quiky clock starts ticking once you are scanned for your wash. We recommend, getting through Quikier you use the wash during off peak hours: 9am – 11am or 2pm – 3pm.
We appreciate your business and are working to get you the best wash and experience possible. We take all concerns seriously and are constantly looking at ways to improve our operation. Please contact us at email@example.com with any comments.
Thank you,
-The Quiky Team

Things happen for a reason.
I've been missing my kids the past few days and I wish they are still home with me. Was it worth it having them all go away for college? I struggle with the thought of what could have been if we all stayed together? What if we didn't leave the Philippines? What if I had just asked them to go to school in the same city I'm in? What if I tried to hold on to them as long as I can?
These questions lingered in me. Until I visited each of my kids' Facebook account. I go through their recent photos, my eldest daughter had a busy week entertaining a visiting high school friend. They went around Berkeley and San Francisco and had a blast. My second daughter had a busy October at school but still manages to attend her pre- health organization's meetings and events at UCLA. My son in Cornell also has been busy with school work and had a lot of fun with his Filipino-American student organization's event of hosting a comedy workshop.
Finally, I read a conversation among the three of them, with my eldest daughter leading the way, on how they should catch up on Google Hangout. All three of them promise to update their planners so they can arrange a meeting, hoping to do this bi-monthly. This thread was so heart-warming for me. I guess my greatest fear is we are all so busy that we lose connection to each other. But that connection can no longer be broken.
No matter how busy our schedules get, how far away we are from each other, we are still the same. Our connections have been built through all the years we were together. We started early, raising the kids in an active and creative environment, making sure they played a sport and a musical instrument in elementary school. It continued by demanding from them the highest grades possible but at the same time asking them to do extracurricular activities. Getting them involved in research and internships in high school. And asking them to be the best person they could be when they leave for college. Things happen for a reason. My kids are all away from home to get the best education and experience for them to prepare for the future. And now I am just riding along until I get to be with them again.
Ukoy (Shrimp Fritter)
Ukoy is a popular street food in the Philippines. I've been wanting to make this especially at this time of the year when pumpkins are everywhere. Squash is one of the ingredients and I wanted the streaks of squash to show, but it turned out like it blended with the batter. My husband said it didn't look like the traditional one, but whatever it is he said, it surely tasted great... LOL!
1 lb shrimp, deveined
1 cup squash, shredded
1 medium carrot, shredded
2 stalks green onions sliced
(you could also add mongo sprouts or potatoes)
1 egg
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 tsp lemon-pepper powder
3/4 water (pour it slowly, making sure that the batter is still thick)
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
salt to taste
You don't like a soggy shrimp fritter, so I'm sharing a technique which I learned from America's Test Kitchen on PBS. The solution is to dry the ingredients (veggies and shrimp) with a paper towel first and mix them with the dry ingredients. The dry ingredients absorbs the moisture of the veggies and shrimp.
Mix the dry ingredients first: flour, cornstarch, lemon-pepper powder. Toss the veggies and shrimp. This will allow the water to be absorbed by the dry ingredients.
On a separate bowl, whip egg and water together. Pour it over the dry ingredients and mix well.
Heat cooking oil in a pan. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of batter. Quickly drop them in the hot oil. Cook each sides for about 2 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve with vinegar with pepper and onions but you could also use the sweet chili if you'd prefer. Enjoy!

Katy Perry says her "heart felt really sad" after hearing about Amy Winehouse's death. "My husband, who's been clean and sober for almost nine years, you know, I see him working a program and working on himself every single day," Perry said on Good Morning America Monday while promoting her new movie, The Smurfs. PHOTOS: Hollywood's notable deaths "And I see how much work it takes to be clean and sober when you have, you know, addiction on your hands," she went on. "So it gave me a real gratefulness for my husband [Russell Brand], who got clean when he was 27. And I feel really sad and I just hope she finds peace." "He wrote a really lovely piece about her on his website because he knew her, I didn't know her," added Perry of Brand's tribute, which warned of the perils of addiction. "It's a really poignant and interesting piece about how when you know somebody is dealing with addiction, you dread that phone call," added Perry. "Sometimes that phone call is that person calling up saying, 'I've had enough, I want recovery', sometimes it's that unfortunate phone call, but there will always be a phone call." Winehouse's father Mitch spoke to fans and reporters gathered outside his daughter's London home Monday. "I know a lot of you, we've been together for five or six years and I know you've got a job to do. I'm glad you're all here anyway," he said. "And as to you people in the street, I can't tell you what this means to us. It really is making this a lot easier. We're devastated and I am speechless. Amy was about one thing and that was love. He whole life was devoted to her family and friends and to you guys as well." Winehouse was found dead Saturday. An autopsy is being performed Monday.

… or at least he will be.
John C Reilly has confirmed that Disney is working on a sequel to Wreck-It Ralph!
Fans will welcome this news! Since 2012, the original has earned more than $470 million worldwide. A sequel has been talked about ever since.
And John C Reilly has confirmed it. Talking to Collider, when asked about Wreck-It Ralph he instantly revealed that "we're making another one".
In a few interviews since Rich Moore has revealed some of his ideas for the sequel's storyline.
One idea he mentions includes expanding the gaming universe onto different planes. He particularly makes a point on including mobile and online gaming, believing it would be "great to work in a story about those types of games that are so prevalent, contemporary and part of today's culture."
Another possible plot point Moore brought up was the possibility of Ralph and the gang meeting other versions of themselves, from other arcades or more modernized platforms.
According to Moore, the first film "barely scratched the surface" of the video game world he and the developers envisioned, and a sequel to Wreck-It Ralph is currently being discussed. Mario and Tron have also been confirmed to make cameos in the sequel.
I don't know about you, but I'm excited to see what the second movie will bring!

Brit Bags Olympic Cup at HOY
Helen McNaught-McFarlane made history today as the first British rider to win the Olympic Cup at the Farmlands Horse of the Year Show in Hastings, while Rio hopeful, dressage rider Julie Brougham notched another Australasian record with her musical freestyle.
McNaught-McFarlane and her Polish import Carnutelabryere won the Showjumper of the Year crown ahead of 14 other combinations and before thousands who packed the grounds for the final day of the six-day show.
It topped off an excellent season for the two, and their edge today in hot Hawke's Bay summer conditions, could have been thanks to the bananas fed to the 10-year-old horse before and during the class.
"He loves them," said McNaught-McFarlane, who is married to Kiwi Olympic showjumper Duncan McFarlane.
Fifteen started the class, with 12 combinations with four faults or less, coming back for the second round. Seven went clear in the first round – McNaught-McFarlane (Taupo), Amanda Wilson (Hikurangi) aboard Showtym Cassanova, Clint Beresford (Aus) on Emmaville Jittberbug, Katie Laurie (Mystery Creek) on Dunstan On The Point Eve, Maurice Beatson (Dannevirke) aboard Conyers, Tash Brooks (Cambridge) on Kapattack and Olivia Robinson (Christchurch) on Ngahiwi Cisco.
International course designer Werner Deeg raised the ante in the second round, with fences up to 1.57m.
In the second round, clears were far less forthcoming, with just Wilson, McNaught-McFarlane, James Arkins (Aus) on his Kiwi bred Rosthwaite Vigilante II and talented teen Emily Hayward-Morgan (Te Awamutu) on AP Ninja leaving everything in place. However, Arkins and Hayward-Morgan each carried four faults from their opening rounds.
That meant 23-year-old Wilson would take on the 40-something-year-old McNaught-McFarlane in the jump-off. The more experienced McNaught-McFarlane and her quirky 10-year-old grey knew she had to put as much pressure on the younger rider as possible. Despite a good rattle at the last, they were clear.
A very nervous Wilson and her 11-year-old pinto started with gusto but took a brick from the wall, jumped the third and then retired.
"He was incredible out there," said a very proud Wilson. "That whoopsie wasn't his fault – it was a bit of a miscommunication between us. He is a very extraordinary horse."
It is just their fourth season competing. Wilson bought the horse sight unseen as an eight-year-old off Trade Me. He is called Cassanova for the perfectly shaped heart on his neck.
McNaught-McFarlane had plenty of praise for her younger rival, and particularly the horse. "That was a great class out there," she said. "This is the show we all gear up for. This is where it is at."
The dressage was tightly contested, particularly between Rio hopefuls Julie Brougham (Palmerston North) aboard Vom Feinsten and John Thompson (Hamilton) on JHT Antonello.
Brougham had to concede her Dressage Horse of the Year crown to Thompson, riding in his first HOY, but she did set a new Australasian mark for the musical freestyle, bettering her year-old effort from the 2015 HOY. She also nabbed her last necessary qualifying score that will make her eligible for Rio selection.
Thompson was chuffed to score two personal best scores, and particularly as just six weeks ago he nearly lost the horse to colic. He now has just one more mark to make him eligible for selection, and next week heads to Australia.
"This show is fantastic," said Thompson. "Creative chaos I think!"
In show hunter, Chloe Akers set a new record when she and Kiwi Motto won their fifth open title – the sixth for the horse.
It is estimated up to 60,000 people streamed through the gates at HOY to watch the best horse and riders from across 14 disciplines battle it out for top dog titles.

In 1970, the sultanate of Muscat and Oman started to issue banknotes in 100 baisa denominations with 1/4, 1/2, 1,5,10 rial saidi . Again in 1977, the central bank of Oman started issuing new notes and the series continued thereby. Main colour used in Omani rial in a historical way are green, brownish-purple, purple, red, brown, blue, pink and violet.

At the day care where I work, preschool is for 3 year olds, pre-k is for 4 year olds who will go to kinder the next year. Preschool introduces concepts but isn't as involved and less structured. Our pre-k programis more involved and preps the kids for kindergarten. Teaching them the proper way to write name, writing and identifying all letters and basic sounds. Writing and recognizing numbers. Cutting skills, colors, shapes, patterns, days of the week, months, etc. These days, pre-k is what kindergarten used to be when we were young.
Check with your son's future elementary school to see the start date of kinder for his birthday. have you talked to the preschool to see what the curriculum differences are and how the ages are divided?
As far as $$, how often is he going? Does he need to go full time due to you working? From my 11+ years of teaching, a 3 half day program with you and daddy working on things at home is more than enough to prep him for kinder when he is in per-k. He doesn't need to be in school all day at 3 or 4 if you can help it, so a short program would help in the pocketbook dept. Kids who don't attend preschool all the time (ex. 8am-5pm everyday) are much better behaved and actually have better social skills when homelife balances and integrates learning.
There are some head start pre-k programs you might be able to find that are low cost or free. You can also see if the school district offers any preschool classes. A lot of park and rec programs have preschool classes that are less money too. Our neighbor across the way went through park and rec preschool for 3 years and her mom helped as well. She is in the GATE program now. Don't think that he has to be in preschool in order to be ready for kinder. It's not the case at all.
Hope this helps.

That Thing You Like is ALL ABOUT Penny Arcade's Strip Search! #StripSearch, you guys. Day #6 saw a showdown between the tangential-one, Abby Howard, and the webcomics badass / normative-definition-of-virginity-defier, Erika Moen.

Abby and Erika are both uniquely awesome, and their trial-by-art made for the hands-down best episode of Strip Search to date. But day six brought us a metric tonne of things to discuss: Why does the internet hate go-karting? Why is seeing people deal with the business-side of art so compelling? Is Tavis a bad person now? We answer all these questions, plus pitch the KHOO & SUNTER POWER HOUR.

User Experience research (UX) as a discipline has exploded over the years. It has now (rightfully) begun to get credited as a vital discipline directly responsible for the success (and failure) of products. Unfortunately, it is also ranks as one of the most misunderstood of all disciplines.
Product teams ignorant of the nature of the discipline, see UX as an add-on rather than an integral part of a Product lifecycle. One of the reasons UX has to struggle to be seen as an equal to other disciplines is the fact that it's much harder to tangibly attach a ROI till a product is actually rolled out. This has made UX somewhat of an outlier within the Product design spectrum even though it should well be seen as of it's most critical.
To add to the confusion, to already muddied waters, and one of the key reasons for UX not being able to hold it's own ground as a discipline is because it's often confused about being an extension of User Interface design (UI). A discipline that is a much smaller subset of UX and requires a completely different skillset.
A lack of awareness of how the two disciplines co exist prompts inexperienced product teams to believe they can simply hire a UI designer, instruct them to 'DO' the UX and this in itself will magically address all customer pain points and engagement requirements. These teams are quite unaware of the differences of UI being a small subset of UX, a much broader discipline. The temptation to force UX in what should just typical UI designer role gives product teams a false sense of security over something as vital as customer engagement.
UI vs UX
So why is it so important to separate and uniquely identify each discipline. Isn't it possible to get both done by the same person? Well theoretically yes, this can be done but in reality this much harder than it looks especially when you deep dive into what each discipline involves.
UI designers are trained to interpret visually what an interface should look like based on best interaction design principles. They are trained in the aesthetics of a product which includes the colors, fonts, visual hierarchy and how users will interact with the product.
UX on the other has is a vast field that goes as deep as human psychology. There are varying research methodologies built to distil and interpret the millions of permutations of human cognitive psychology and derive predictable models so that this can be used by product teams for everything from defining the value proposition to product design. User experience research, done well, is very resource intensive. Few UI designers would ever have the capacity to do anything beyond ensuring a minimal level of heuristics. The big gap that precedes UI, includes field research with real users compiled into personas and problems that need to be solved, ideated, prioritised way before a prototype. This effort presents a significant challenge to any UI designer attempting to do both the research and the prototype. What presents even more of a challenge is the fact that a UI designer can never be impartial to user testing once they build a prototype. They will always be biased to the actual results of user testing and could even potentially nudge a participant at a user testing exercise towards a design that they favour. For this reason, user testing should be conducted in a neutral, impartial environment where the UI designer has little opportunity to influence any result which again makes merging both roles UI and UX very difficult.
Over time, a new role has emerged that is more suited to address this gap in the form of a UX designer / Interaction designer. An interaction designer more closely works with UX and is able to address the gap between customer needs and business requirements while building the blueprint for the product including wireframes and wireflows. This separation of disciplines makes each role more focused on deliverables that allow a UI designer to then add the final polish.

Siesta in Santa Barbara
In winter in Santa Barbara, when the wind begins to whip the sea up and whisk saltspray against your face, the boats are tossed ashore.
And there's no better place to see these majestic shipwrecks than at Butterfly Beach. In fact, it's become a bit of a tradition in our family. Whenever winter draws near, our family makes sure to drive by Butterfly Beach, seeking these such shipwrecks. In the few cases that we do, we hurry down to the beach and walk along the shore, cameras swinging around our necks, laughing and talking and watching the waves swish up against shore and sprinkle across our faces.
When we arrive at the shipwreck, the cameras unravel from around our necks and poise, facing the boats. The clicking of our cameras as we snap pictures are barely heard over the monotone of the waves, the wind, the shouting of the children gleefully at play.
And when the sun begins to dip beneath the sea, we watch the sunset before heading home.

Hello! I managed to get this made for both the Market Street Stamps Paint the Town Color Challenge, and the Mojo Monday Sketch challenge. I was a bit too late to enter it for that - but still thought I would share the sketch here! Here is what I got made:
And here is the color combo - so pretty isn't it?
Here is the sketch I based it on:
I used Market Street Stamps Compass, and Here Come's the Sun for the background. I stamped that with Papertrey Ink White ink - the only white I can stand using for stamping!
I used my Cricut Elegant Edges cartridge to cut out the circle layers. The tag is just a rectangle with the top two corners rounded, and some PTI button twine tied on the top.
The banner along the bottom is hand cut, and I added some stick on pearls.
Most of the layers are pop-dotted - not sure if it shoes in the picture - but there is LOTS of dimension! This is another one of the cards I hid in my hubby's suitcase to open while he is gone!

Pal Benko Dies at Age 91
The last two or three times I had visited, I had brought with me an autographed copy of Grandmaster Pal Benko's endgame book, a volume that Benko had published himself and which he had asked me to give Kasparov. I believe there were a hundred copies or so in this new edition. Each time I came, I forgot to give it to Garry, or his mood was so bad that I thought that he wouldn't notice it. …
When Garry came back in the room to sit among the boxes, I handed him Benko's self-published book, half-expecting him to drop it at his feet. But instead, he started reading. "This is very important," he said, as he slowly turned a page. Garry's face softened. He moved his lips and smiled as he calculated a witty move. For the next hour or so, he lost himself in Benko's book, which contained interesting and instructive endings culled from numerous games, along with Benko's sharp analysis. Garry was enjoying chess for the first time since the start of the match.
— Fred Waitzkin (Mortal Games: The Turbulent Genius of Garry Kasparov, Putnam, 1993.)
We have received reports that GM and longtime Chess Life columnist Pal Benko has died at age 91.
Benko's contributions to chess are many and varied. He was a pioneer in the openings, a leading authority in the endgame, a world-renowned problematist, and a friend and trainer to many, including Bobby Fischer and the Polgar sisters.
One of Benko's final articles for Chess Life, published in August 2018, just won an award for "Special Achievement" from the Chess Journalists of America.
To see Benko's CLO articles, go to: https://new.uschess.org/author/gm-pal-benko/
CLO will have a longer appreciation of this giant of the chess world in the coming days. Our condolences to all of his family, friends, and admirers.

Elingo, a top tier Gold Partner of Genesys in Africa and level 2 BB-BEE contributor, is a proud sponsor of the MyBroadband Cloud Conference in South Africa, to be hosted on 6 June 2019 and will present an overview of the disruptive power of true cloud.
The Conference is targeted at the country's top cloud, hosting and security executives. Speakers will share information about hosting services, data centres, cloud computing, virtualisation, hosting infrastructure and connectivity. IT executives and managers will be able to interact and do business with South Africa's top cloud and hosting providers.
Elingo, being a strategic partner to Genesys, where its solutions are built on Amazon Web Services (AWS), will compare different cloud architectures to assist companies on their journey to the cloud.
This information will help decision makers develop and enforce strategies around cloud, cloud-based communications and various cloud platforms.
Elingo's DNA is built around the Genesys Customer Experience Platform and the company is focused on opportunities within the rapidly developing world of unified communications and collaboration (UC) and its exciting collaboration elements.
These elements play a vital role in unified communications and collaboration, facilitating access to multiple communication channels from a single application, across multiple devices. It enables users to harness the power of mobility, mobile applications and next generation multi-media platforms.
It offers the advantage of an all-in-one comprehensive solution, offering the ability to leverage various channels including video, screen sharing, chat channels, document management and employee profiles.
"It is a natural progression to look at the wider organisation and offer key features and functions that further improve customer experience and the ability to service customers and stakeholders in a professional manner, including business value add such as Mobility and Compliance to mention a few. Now features and functions that were only available for the Contact Centre can be made available to the greater organisation," says Paul McIntyre, CX Executive of Elingo.
According to Elingo an organisation's ability to communicate with customers, is critical, and customers, quite often dictate their preferred channel of engagement – this is where legacy platforms have reached their end of life, and it's not practical to continue using 'limited' technologies.
"It is almost a perfect storm, old and obsolete communication platforms, new entrants into the working world dictating means of communication …Mobility is a key cost reduction factor and having to have scarce and costly skills to maintain these obsolete platform where those same skills could be making a huge impact on generating business – all in all, Corporations need to embrace Cloud based Unified Communication platforms, and work with a trusted advisor to determine the best platform for business fit," adds McIntyre.
The platform is one area of evaluation, but outside of 'speeds and feeds', organisations need to unpack the value they will derive from investing in new true cloud solutions, Elingo explains.
"This will include the shift from Capex to Opex budgeting, working with a credible partner to ensure that matrix's identified are realised in an ROI model and finally what value-added offerings could add value to the enterprise, from a credible business partner," he continues.
Elingo stands by its view that any potential business partner must have the recognised quality certifications and depth of technical expertise.
The company invites delegates at the Conference to visit its stand.

(Bangor, Maine) – Bicycling is a great way for children and families to get some exercise and enjoy our beautiful Maine summers, but injuries can occur if safety isn't taken into consideration. The EMMC Trauma Care team and Adoptive & Foster Families of Maine are promoting bike safety for kids at this weekend's Hampden Children's Day by offering tips and conducting helmet checks.
"A little bit of prevention can go a long way when it comes to bicycle safety," says Anna Moses, RN, BSN, CCRN, CEN, trauma nurse coordinator at EMMC. "A few simple things like making sure helmets fit correctly and teaching kids to be on the lookout for hazards will ensure they stay safe and have a fun time."
EMMC Trauma Care and Adoptive & Foster Families of Maine staff will provide reflective stickers and blinking lights at 9:30 am on the soccer field behind Reeds Brook Middle School. Streamers, stickers, and balloons will also be available for kids to use to decorate their bikes.
"We'll help them decorate their bikes for the parade, get them ready to have fun, and share a few safety tips they should keep in mind anytime they go for a bike ride," says Anna.
"Adoptive & Foster Families of Maine has been assisting kids with bike decorating at the parade since 2005, and we love getting to take a part in such a positive activity for kids and their families," adds Bette Hoxie, executive director. "The staff from EMMC has added tremendously to the experience; many hands make light work."

Welcome to YMSL Vienna-Oakton Chapter
MISSION: To assist, serve, and support those who are in need in our community.
Young Men's Service League is a non-profit organization that initiates and encourages young men and their mothers to pursue philanthropic involvement in their community and provides an opportunity to enhance mother/son relationships.
YMSL History
YMSL was founded in Plano, Texas by Pam and Julie Rosener who envisioned an organization that would allow mothers and their high school-aged sons to work together in support of those in need within the community. YMSL is a nationwide organization of 75 Chapters in 11 States representing 5783 Moms and 5,839 Boys dedicated to partnering mothers and sons to serve in their community. YMSL Inc. has a National Board of Directors which governs and promotes the expansion of YMSL Chapters throughout the United States. Members recently celebrated over 1,000,000 community service hours since the organization was formed in 2001.
YMSL Vienna - Oakton "YMSLVO" was launched in February 2014 by a group of engaged moms who desired to work together with their teenage sons by serving alongside them in the community.
Ours is the first chapter on the east coast; the initial provisional class included rising 8th graders.
YMSLVO will focus on providing teenage boys with the opportunities to volunteer in our community, improve leadership skills, and develop new life skills. YMSLVO currently serves over 23 philanthropies in our area.
In addition to philanthropy work, boys attend five meetings a year with their grade level. Meetings are used to expand knowledge and experience in a variety of topics such as civic responsibility, practical skills, budgeting, social skills, philanthropy, and many other life skills. Since the boys plan and implement their own meetings, each one holds a position of responsibility.
Members reside in the Vienna-Oakton and surrounding area. The Vienna-Oakton Chapter is currently comprised of 109 members with 126 sons in grades rising 9th - rising 12th. We currently represent 14 different high schools in the area.
Young Men's Service League Vienna-Oakton Chapter recently celebrated three years of impact through over 6,000 hours of service in our community.
Inaugural Class of 2019
As a newly formed provisional chapter, YMSLVO's inaugural class was the Class of 2019 and their Moms. The class included 32 members who served in the Vienna-Oakton YMSL chapter through the end of their senior year.
YMSLVO will be accepting applications for the Class of 2024 beginning in January 2020. Those interested in joining are encouraged to attend a new member session. We invite you to find out more information about YMSLVO by contacting Deborah Gladstone, President, at email@example.com or Jennifer Trax, VP Membership, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Our mission is to assist, serve, and support those who are in need in our community, develop leadership

Lexie Rose, who has been singing since she was eight, is now a 15-year-old prodigy. The singer-songwriter got her start when she was only 13, as she began booking her own shows around LA. After playing solo for about a year, Lexie Rose got her band together to start making music collectively.
With a voice that sounds like it's been coached for as long as she's been alive, Lexie Rose is continuously performing with her band in the LA area as she writes her own music. Just the other night, on February 17th, Lexie Rose and her band performed a new song titled "Promise" at The Hotel Café. Although this track is not recorded for her Soundcloud, she has quite a body of beautifully recorded music.
With a mellow sound and an Indie-Folk twang, Lexie Rose's vocals go beautifully with the guitar and piano she personally plays in addition to the lead guitar, bass, and drums of her band (played by Daniel Alcala, Jacob Butler, and Elijah Wells respectively).
Although she mainly grew up on classic rock, Norah Jones and Fiona Apple vibes are at the heart of her music. In most of her tracks, and notably in "Find Me" and "The Girl You'll Never Leave Behind," Lexie Rose and her band traditionally follow a pattern. Each song builds up from a quiet-voice-solo-instrumental sound to a more full-bodied instrumental completeness.
Lexie Rose's sound is not only exceptional for a 15-year-old—it's exceptional for anyone of any age. With a versatile air, Lexie Rose's music is perfect for listening to at a dinner party with good friends, slow dancing with a honey, or tapping your foot at a live show of hers. Make sure to check her out if you're in LA, and if you're based somewhere out of LA, keep an eye out because Lexie Rose will be sure to come to your city one day.

Lance Armstrong Says: Commute by Bike!
Lance Armstrong can do amazing things on a bicycle (most notably, ride it very quickly up very steep mountains). Yet it turns out that, for all the individual glory he has achieved as a professional cyclist, his greatest contribution to cycling may be his promotion of the bicycle as a form of transportation and recreation. Armstrong is about to open an 18,000 square-foot bicycle store in his hometown of Austin, Texas where, apart from selling the usual bicycle products, he will "promote bike culture and bike commuting" by providing showers and a locker room, as well as bicycle storage, for bicycle commuters that lack those facilities at their offices. As Armstrong himself noted, "This city is exploding downtown. Are all these people in high rises going to drive everywhere? We have to promote (bike) commuting..."
So you don't have to have Armstrong's quads to commute to work (although it wouldn't hurt), but having him in your town certainly helps.

Biographical Note
Richard Hoffman
Richard Hoffman, the Brooklyn-based theater collector and bookdealer, built a number of literary collections aroundAmerican playwrights over a period of many years. Hoffman has said that he entered the United States Army in the 1950s as an actor and left as a writer. His military experience led to an assignment to create a television program titled "Your Army in View," which consisted of interviews and live drama. After his discharge from the service in 1955, Hoffman taught in the drama department of The City University of New York. During this period he was awarded a Eugene O'Neill fellowship for playwriting. He also seriously began to collect rare books and first editions of contemporary American dramatists, notably the playwrights Eugene O'Neill, Arthur Miller, and Neil Simon. Richard Hoffman's interest in collecting first editions led to his career as an antiquarian bookdealer.
David Rabe
The American playwright David Rabe was born March 10, 1940, in Dubuque, Iowa. After graduating from Loras College in Dubuque, he began graduate studies in theater at Villanova University, but he was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1965. He served until 1967, spending eleven months of this time in Vietnam. Rabe returned to Villanova, studying writing with Raymond Roseliep, Dick Duprey, and George Herman. During this time, he began work on Sticks and Bones, the first play in a loose trilogy dealing with a Vietnam veteran and the war. The Basic Training of Pavlo Hummel (1971) and Streamers (1976) completed the trilogy.
While working as a feature writer for the New Haven Register in 1969 and 1970, he won an Associated Press Award. Rabereturned to Villanova to teach playwriting and film criticism in the early 1970s. Joseph Papp produced The Basic Training of Pavlo Hummel in 1972 at the New York Shakespeare Festival and a later Broadway production starred Al Pacino. The play garnered Rabe an Obie Award (Off-Broadway) for distinguished playwriting, the Drama Desk Award, and the Drama Guild Award. The first play from the trilogy, Sticks and Bones, won the Elizabeth Hull-Kate Warriner Award from the Dramatists Guild, a Variety poll award, an Outer Circle Award (1972), and the 1972 Tony Award for best play of the 1971-72 season on Broadway. In the Boom Boom Room (1973), the story of a go-go girl from Manayunk (near Villanova), received a Tony nomination for Best Play. The final part of the Vietnam trilogy, Streamers, received another Tony nomination as well as the 1976 New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best American Play. Hurlyburly, about the connected lives of three Hollywood players, premiered at the Goodman Theatre in Chicago in 1984, receiving another "best play" Tony nomination in 1985. The Dog Problem premiered Off-Broadway in 2001.
Rabe has also written two novels, Recital of the Dog (1993) and The Crossing Guard (novelization of the screenplay by Sean Penn, 1995). Rabe has screenwriting credits for I'm Dancing as Fast as I Can (1983), Robert Altman's film version of Streamers (1983), Casualties of War (1989), The Firm (1993), Hurlyburly (1998), and In the Boom Boom Room (in development, 2000).

Only a few days back, RUF published for the first time the full clip of Yellowbird circling the Nordschleife. Afterwards, Yellowbird became the stuff of legend and did wonders for the visibility of RUF.
Many years later, it's still entrancing to watch. The courage and skill the driver demonstrates, still awe us all. Just notice the crazy angles he applies to the wheel in trying to manhandle the beast !
I bet that any modern 900hp-plus hybrid/phev/ice hypercar is easier to handle round the Ring than the CTR's puny 400hp were at the time.
Filed under Classic, Mechanics, Motorsport, porsche, tuner
When it comes to tuners (I would call it an improver) in the Porsche world, nothing comes really close to RUF. The amount of detail, testing and thinking that goes to into their cars is mind blowing. For that reason, the german authorities consider them as an automobile manufacturer, enabling them to put their own VIN in their cars. Below, the story of RUF as told by its founder is addictive and charming as his strong passion for cars, and Porsches in particular, comes across quite strongly.
RUF history part I –
RUF history part II –
RUF history part III –
RUF history part IV –
One of his greatest icons / achievements was the original CTR aka "Yellowbird", for years the fastest, street legal, production car.
This was followed years later by the CTR2, based on a 993.
And, quite recently, by the CTR3. This was almost a complete new car mostly made by RUF (Ok, all the front end and windshield was still 997). But rearward it was all new and comprising a mid-engine configuration and 2 seat layout.
But there's also the recent RGT8, with an in-house designed and built V8, shoehorned were the flat6 would be and still remaining a 2+2 seater !
There's the recent RT35 edition, built to commemorate 35 years of RUF, this one already based on the new 991. Love the metallic military green !
There's the Roadster, strongly inspired by the early Targas, which might come to have an electric variant.
And finally, there's an all-electric 911 prototype undergoing tests.

CM Arvind Kejriwal Gets Slammed For His Twisting Tweet On Amma's Death
After the continuous medical treatment started in September, Chief Minister Of Tamil Nadu, Jayalalitha took her last breathe on December 5th.
The hospital premises were frozen in the prominent leader's demise. Celebrities and politicians took over to their twitter handles and paid condolences to Jayalalithaa.
Despite the condolences from various people, Delhi's Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal's tweet went wrong for its twisty meaning.
The tweet reads:
V sad to hear the demise of Amma. A very very popular leader. Aam admi's leader. May her soul rest in peace.
— Arvind Kejriwal (@ArvindKejriwal) December 5, 2016
Netizens criticized Kejriwal's tweet as a cheap feat to promote his party.
Earlier, Kejriwal was slammed for his contradictory tweets and opinions on other political leaders, however, most of the time he does that on Prime Minister, Narendra Modi.
This biased tweet faced a quick blow from every part of the country.
Ace Indian cricketer, Jadeja took on to his twitter and criticized Kejriwal for the misframed tweet.
Dear People Of South,
Take A Note Of This. Doing Politics On #Amma's Death. Crossed All Level Of Shamelessness! #RIPAmma RIP #Jayalalithaa pic.twitter.com/kQuu9rHx3f

.@ArvindKejriwal Sir Aam Admi ke baad party bhi laga dete.
— GR (@DaMadHooker) December 5, 2016
Kejriwal paid his condolences in his tweet, but the latter part mentioning "Aam Admi" is quite insensitive, because the whole tweet is framed in English except that word.
Very less are the chances to call this a "genuine and honest condolence."

In December we brought you the news that Sam Raimi officially would be making a low-budget horror movie titled Drag Me to Hell before he went on to anything else. For those unsatisfied with Spider-Man 3, this is Raimi's chance to go back to his roots and show us that he is still a great director, despite what might have happened with that movie. Now one of the best things that ever could happen has happened - Juno star Ellen Page has been cast as the lead in the film. To top that off, Universal Pictures has acquired the rights for distribution and the film is going into production starting on March 17th in Los Angeles.
Sam Raimi wrote the script for Drag Me to Hell with his brother Ivan quite a while ago under the title The Curse, and it was finished after they made Army of Darkness back in 1992. He's been sitting on this script that probably has immense inspiration from Evil Dead and Army of Darkness, since he wrote it while making those movies, and is just now starting to film it. While no budget has been explicitly specified, it is being referred to as low-budget, meaning I'm sure it'll be very much in the same vein as Evil Dead and Army of Darkness.
As for the plot, not much has been revealed. The most that anyone has said is that it is a "morality tale about the unwitting recipient of a supernatural curse", and I'm guessing that recipient is now Ellen Page. Ghost House co-founder Rob Tapert also says that "Sam calls it a 'spook-a-blast,' a wild ride with all the chills and spills that 'Evil Dead' delivered, without relying on the excessive violence of that film." I don't mind that much that it doesn't have the same "excessive violence" as Evil Dead as long as Raimi creates a movie that is reminiscent of his classic horror trio.
I guarantee you we will be following almost everything that happens with Drag Me to Hell as it goes into production in March. Not only am I a huge Army of Darkness / Evil Dead fan, not only am I a huge Sam Raimi fan, but I'm also a huge Ellen Page fan. It's three of the best things ever all crammed into one and I can't wait to see what Raimi has cooked up!!

Home of Love
Manacapuru is a city along the Amazon River. By car, about one hour drive from Manaus, in the heart of the Amazon. Manacapuru has about 85 000 inhabitants. Many of the people living here have moved in from different villages in the jungle with a dream and hope for an easier life. But it is not easy to get a job in the city and life often gets more difficult than it was in the remote villages.
Many of these people end up in an area called Quari, located below a steep slope in the outskirt of the city. Next to the steps down to this area is a lot of garbage; it has become something of a dump. The families living here are very poor and there are many problems.
Pastor Jesse, who works in one of the churches in Manacapuru, has a huge love for the children who live in Quari. He is responsible for the "Fundação Lar do Amor" which means "Home of Love Foundation"
For 4 years they received money from the authorities to give soup to the children every day but in the beginning of 2009 the authorities took away the support.
The "Home of Love" house was in a very bad condition, it was more or less falling apart. When the money stopped coming from the authorities, the church was unable to raise money to cover the costs and had to stop giving out soup.
Barn i Nöd received an emergency call in February 2009 from Gloria Santos, who is the founder of Ray of Hope in the Amazon. Could Barn i Nöd help by giving money for the soup?
For many of these children in Manacapuru this soup was all they had to eat. Barn i Nöd decided to support this project and provide children with soup every day.
In 2010 Barn i Nöd built a new house for "Fundação Lar do Amor" after taking down the old house. In January 2011 everything was ready for inauguration of the fine new premises.
There are 100 children enrolled in this project, all who come and get food but also extra help with homework and special supported education. In the evenings, the new centre provides teaching to 30 adults, learning how to read and write.

Things that make me happy :)
We're talking about easily accessible things here (in no particular order), like:
I almost didn't put that last one since I can't contol the weather, I was trying to list things that were always accessible. I like first kisses too, but those aren't always available so I didn't list them. I can't always find babies either but they're an option more often than nice days in Michigan (and first dates).In case you didn't know I've done four of these in the last 24 hours. That might be what inspired this…

President's Cup Final
Ballincollig 1 Passage 0
Ian Kenneally's second half strike was enough to give Ballincollig a just about deserved 1-0 win over Passage in the final of the Murphy's Stout President's Cup at Turner's Cross last night.
Kenneally had a promising first half and delivered on it in the second. Passage had an edge in the opening half, particular in midfield where Kevin O'Rourke and Aidan Butler combined well at times, but the pair didn't enjoy the same freedom in the second period.
The game was evenly contested throughout. The pattern was set in the first half with the goal chances arriving regularly enough but sporadically, not the result of any great build-up; neither side could build a sustained spell of dominance.
Daly had a terrific chance for Passage in the 8th minute. Then he raced onto a neat ball over the top by defender Gary Murphy. He lobbed it over the advancing keeper but the ball hopped wide.
Ballincollig created a fine opportunity four minutes later, the work done on the right by Evan Mohally. He passed infield to Rob Quinn but his 25-yard blast was just over.
Butler then saw his close range header from an O'Rourke free go just over before going quite close in the 20th minute with a speculative overhead effort from outside the box which shaved the far post, though keeper Alan O'Mahony may well have had it covered.
Passage keeper, and skipper, Raymond Allan was called into action in the 27th minute and he made a splendid save after Kenneally had been played in by Mohally.
Ballincollig lost regular marksman Darren Forde to injury in the 32nd minute and came under pressure as the half closed. Ballincollig keeper O'Mahony, under severe pressure from Butler, did well to get a punch to an inswinging David Daly corner.
Passage almost found a way through in the first minute of the second half. Butler and Aidan Carrol combined and the latter's pass looked good for the incoming Kieran McGarry until veteran Sullivan powered in to make a superbly timed penalty box tackle.
The goal came in the 49th minute, quite a simple one. Mullane's pass from the centre circle cut through the high Passage defence and found Kenneally breaking through. He coolly outfoxed his marker and slotted his low shot neatly into the corner. The goal may have been simple but the celebrations were quite complicated: somersault, high fives, even time to shine the boot.
Passage had more than enough time to get back into it and threatened an equaliser several times in the following minutes. Impressive full back Gavin Flaherty, with the aid of a return ball from John Cronin, advanced to the edge of the box but his shot sped just over the back pedalling keeper.
That was in the 55th minute and, in the next, McGarry headed a free into the box but Graham Power was muscled out of it by Quinn and Ballincollig survived.
Indeed, they came close to a second goal five minutes later as Kenneally let fly after a pass by Mohally but keeper Allan again made a top drawer save to keep the game alive.
There was no decent Passage chance until the 80th minute. It was a great opportunity, created by the short corner of O'Rourke and the subsequent cross by sub Steve Carroll. Eventually the ball broke to the well-placed Aidan Carroll but his close range header was too high.
Late on, a Flaherty corner was well headed away by Conor Farrell and then keeper O'Mahony got down at the feet of the incoming Butler to help Ballincollig take the third division knockout trophy for the first time.
Ballincollig: Alan O'Mahony, Conor Farrell, Colm Healy, Philip Sullivan, Rob Quinn, George Mullane (captain), Evan Mohally, Noel Hogan, Ian Kenneally, Greg Hallissey and Darren Forde. Subs used: Alan Flynn for Forde (32nd minute, injured), Diam Herlihy for Kenneally (74th, injured) and Gary Foulkes for Mullane (87th)
Passage: Raymond Allan (captain), Gavin Flaherty, John Cronin, Alan McCarthy, Gary Murphy, Kevin O'Rourke, Aidan Butler, David Daly, Kieran McGarry, Graham Power and Aidan Carroll. Subs used: Eric Burke and Stephen Carroll for Daly and Power (both 74th).
