After years of being ill-prepared for the worst, the El Paso County Sheriff's Office recently acquired enough riot gear for all officers who would be called upon to quell a violent disturbance.
"It would be irresponsible if we didn't look out for the welfare of our deputies as best we could," says Commander Cliff Northam.
The gear includes 115 protective helmets, 115 sets of forearm protectors, 25 riot shields and 25 riot batons, at a total cost of $19,000.
The gear was ordered in mid-June following an April incident at a carnival just west of Powers Boulevard, and is not related to any concerns that demonstrations could take place in connection with the "Black Lives Matter" movement, for example, or some other issue that might give rise to an incident, Northam says.
"It's always in the back of our minds," he says in an interview, referring to riots. "We want to be prepared for those things. But I think we live in a community that seems far removed from those kinds of protests."
On April 25, a combination of gang activity and high-school rivalry "got out of hand" near the intersection of Powers and Palmer Park Boulevard where a carnival was underway, Northam says. When a riot broke out, people pelted officers with bottles and rocks.
"It got larger and had potential to go really badly," Northam says.
"The CSPD [Colorado Springs Police Department] came, and all their officers were supplied with riot gear, and we realized when they started throwing stuff at our guys, there was potential for injury," he says. "We didn't have helmets. We didn't have shields."
While SWAT and the jail's special response team are equipped with such gear, patrol deputies were not, he notes, and hadn't been for "many, many years." The special response team in the jail uses the equipment to subdue inmates without using weapons.
"They don that gear when they have someone totally out of control and refuses to comply," he says. "Mostly they rush in, crowd the person up against a wall with the shields and get them secured in handcuffs."
The carnival drove home the notion that road deputies' safety could be at stake and the department "didn't have our folks properly attired for an event like that," Northam says.
Now, deputies are being trained with the gear, so they're prepared if something similar erupts.
The equipment can only be deployed with approval from a duty supervisor, Northam says, and would be used only in "extreme circumstances."
Northam says the gear wasn't used during the Nov. 27 shootings at Planned Parenthood, because the gear is suitable for rocks, bottles and sticks, but not bullets. "Our SWAT team was already equipped with specialized gear which they use on a regular basis and used that day," he says.
The purchase brings the Sheriff's Office in line with other Front Range police agencies, many of which have had riot gear for years. "Of the larger agencies, we're probably one of the last to get it," Northam says.
CSPD Sgt. Joel Kern says via email that the department provides such gear to its "Crowd Control Teams," which are drawn from various units and receive specialized training. "The crowd control gear, like the shin guards and shields, is stored at various locations throughout the city and is deployable," he adds. "Each patrol officer has a Kevlar helmet without a face shield and a PR-24 or expandable baton that is used for crowd control situations."
Besides the April carnival episode, Kern says the last time he recalls the gear being deployed was at war protests in Palmer Park in February 2003. That's when police fired tear gas at anti-war demonstrators who rallied at the park before spilling onto Academy Boulevard, according to the Associated Press.
Pueblo Police Department has had helmets, shields and batons since 1999, Capt. Jeffrey Bodmer says via email. "We have used this gear during in-service training on crowd control techniques and have had it available on standby during certain events over the years," he says, "but have never had the need to deploy the gear during a real situation."
The Denver Police Department obtained riot gear for officers prior to the 2008 Democratic National Convention, says Denver Police director of communications Sonny Jackson. How the equipment is deployed depends on the situation, he says.
"Obviously," he says, "we need to protect our officers. A lot of things in life you hope you don't have to use them, but when you need them you have to have them."
Like Denver, the Aurora Police Department has had riot gear since at least 2008, a spokesman says. "As it stands all officers are issued some gear," the spokesman says via email. "Some frontline officers are issued more than just some gear. For instance all officers get a helmet, gasmask, and baton at least. Other officers will get more items such as pads that protect elbows, knees and ankles."
Neither Denver nor Aurora departments could name events at which the gear was most recently used.

Jersey Harlem Long Pants
These are the perfect pants for me! I could live in them! They are so comfy and just the perfect lounge pant. They have pockets, an elastic waistband, and I'm so glad they sent black!
Sofra Solid Long Tank Top
Now this, however, I don't like. It is versatile and a good layering tank. It has a long waist and a simple scooped neckline. So what don't I like about it?! The fabric. I just don't like this nylon/spandex blend. I should probably add this to my notes of clothing I dislike.
Fleur't With Me High-Low Chemise
This is so cute! I love the style of this racerback tank top. It's actually a chemise, but I think it's a bit too short for that, so tank top it is. It has a built-in shelf bra and peek-a-boo back detail. Pair it with some tights and I'm good to go.
I am happy with my Wantable Intimates Box for the most part. I love the pants and chemise/tank top, and even though I'm not a fan of the fabric of the other tank top, I can't knock Wantable for that. They did a good job overall.
What do you think of Wantable? Do you subscribe to any of their boxes?

What would you say is the most visited website in the world? Google? Yahoo?
You may be surprised to hear that the answer is MySpace.com with an estimated 180 million users worldwide. Many of you may not even have heard of MySpace. It's a social networking site that enables anyone to create their own space to which they can add their own news, views, thoughts, pictures, music and video. It's a combination of an online journal and scrapbook.
Once you are a MySpace member you can invite others to interact with you and build up groups of friends, schoolmates colleagues etc.
It would be fair to say that the first social network sites were predominantly filled with teenagers but the no-so-youngs are joining in too.
MySpace had 69 million visitors in May 2007 and its close rival Facebook had 23 million. Serious traffic like this has encouraged online advertisers to place banners and video adverts on MySpace creating close to $25 million in May 2007 with an anticipated 30% growth each quarter. MySpace's advertising clients include Ford, Vodafone and Proctor & Gamble.
MySpace is owned by Mr Murdoch. He bought it for £290 million in 2005 – seems like a shrewd move to me.

Bye, bye Droid Incredible
If you're the owner of a Droid Incredible, don't break it, lose it, or get it stolen, because chances are you won't get your hands on another one, at least not from Asuirion.
The 1GHz processor, 8 megapixel camera smartphone is currently being sold on Amazon for 1 cent to make room for the Droid Incredible 2.
The new HTC handset was unleashed by Verizon on April 28 and features a 4 inch (800×480) display, an 8-megapixel rear camera and a 1.3-megapixel forward-facing camera.
Those who are making claims for their Droid Incredible through Asurion are being given the Droid X as a replacement phone.
Prices lower for Sidekick 4G and G2X
A week after T-Mobile released the Sidekick 4G and G2x, the prices have been dropped.You can catch a deal on Amazon for the smartphones. Listed for $199 on T-Mobile's website, Amazon is offering the phone for half of that, only $99. The Sidekick 4G is selling for $29 on Amazon, while T-Mobile lists it as $99. Both retailers require a new, two-year agreement for discounted prices on the handsets.
Something for the ladies
Rumor has it that HTC is creating a phone that's strictly for the ladies. Sorry guys.
Codenamed 'Bliss,' the handset will be an Android-based phone—said to be a color-mix between forest and sea green for a calming effect–will contain physical and software tweaks that were designed especially with women in mind.
It's said the smartphone will feature calorie-counting and shopping apps and a pre-installed calming wallpaper. And don't forget the rubberized back for added grip.
Instead of a built-in LED light for notifications, the Bliss will come equipped with a "charm indicator," which lights up to notify users of new messages, missed calls, text messages and more—which looks more like an accessory. The charm is attached via a cord, which makes it easier for girls to dig it out their bags.
But nothing has been confirmed, so stay tuned.
Verizon strikes again
Verizon will be releasing three highly anticipated Android phones within the coming weeks.Both the Droid X2 and LG Revolution are both slated for a May 12 release, and the Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY (often dubbed as the PlayStation Phone) is pegged for a May 26 arrival.
The DROID X2 is expected to be Verizon's first dual-core Tegra 2 phone, while the LG Revolution, the successor to the DROID Charge, will be the first Android phone to launch with Netflix support.
Now, let's see if those dates pan out.

Outlaws of the Atlantic: Sailors, Pirates, and Motley Crews in the Age of Sail by Marcus Rediker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I received this book via LibraryThing Early Reviewers in exchange for an honest review.
The common man, whether he be a sailor, a slave, or a pirate is the focus of Marcus Rediker's Outlaws of the Atlantic. Rediker shows how the lowest individual influenced not only the culture of their day, but shaped the world into what it is today.
Through seven essays Rediker looks at how the daily lives of individuals who worked the Atlantic's waters, both willingly and unwillingly, and how their experiences affected their own time and ours. The first was the common sailor who informed "men of learning" who only went to the docks about the all the new places opening up to the European mind. The next was following the career of a individual sailor who left a memoir of his experiences, showing the ups and downs of an average sailor's life. The sailor's response to his life took many forms, some of which was social revolution in various forms. Other individuals who lived below decks were those who did not want to be there, either convicts or enslaved individuals, who responded to their predicament by trying to escape by either running away or willingly ending their life.
Throughout the book, the term "motley crew" is used by middle- and upper-class individuals throughout the time period of Rediker's history. As the author explains, this was term used for a multiethnic crew of individuals. These motley crews were involved in many "rebellions" or violent protests against what they saw as unjust practices or laws, many of these were connected to the various protests of the late 1760s and early 1770s leading up to the American Revolution. As Rediker explains, the more well-known Sons of Liberty organizations were formed to present a better image than the low class and mixed crews.
The most informative sections of the book featured the life and public views of pirates. Rediker details how and why piracy occurred as well as the counterculture it fostered away from the expected one that English foreign and economic policy demanded. The most surprising element was how the Amistad Rebellion's public reaction was influenced by the newly "romantic" image of the pirate in popular culture.
Upon finishing Outlaws of the Atlantic the reader has a better understanding of how the common man experienced the age of sail, either willingly or unwillingly, and how it still influences our world today. Rediker's essays make the reader want to know more about certain events he covered because of his thorough research and writing style, and luckily for Rediker he has written some of the books those readers could be exploring to learn more about sailors, or pirates, or rebel slaves. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn about how life was for the majority of individuals who call the sea home during the "Age of Sail".

After 3 years of work we are getting excited by the prospect of holding a 'real' copy of this book in our hands. To write this book we researched development and growth in young people, exchanged over 400,000 words in messages to each other, wrote 3 drafts and threw them away……until finally we had a developmental model we could test and try. Then we spent 18 months testing it and finishing our work.
Now we cannot wait to show you our DNA-V model to help people thrive.

Gov. Chris Christie scolded the National Rifle Association for producing an online video ad that focused on the security detail for President Barack Obama's two daughters.
"Don't be dragging people's children into this,'' Christie said during a press conference Thursday.
The NRA in the ad calls the president an "elitist hypocrite'' because he's skeptical about whether schools need armed guards, yet his own children are protected.
Christie said the ad is "reprehensible.''
"The president doesn't have a choice and his children don't have a choice of whether they're going to be protected or not," Christie said. "I think it's awful to bring public figures' children into the political debate. For any of us who are public figures, you see that kind of ad and you cringe. You cringe. Because it's just not appropriate."
"I'm a father who is a public figure, who has four children and my children had no choice realistically in what I decided to do with my career and what affect that has had on their lives," he said.
The ad "demeans'' the NRA, said Christie, adding, "It makes them less of a valid trusted source of information on the real issues that confront this debate."

Okay, so...There is no easy way to say this, so I'm going to be blunt.
The computer that had everything I've ever written, and then typed up, got a worm. Or something. And now everything that I've written on that computer is gone. Dead. The next chapter for this was deleted, all my poetry, stories that weren't posted on here, everything is gone. GONE!
But, on the bright side. There is another computer. It has none of my stuff on it, but i can use it to start writing again. And I have. I've gotten over my writer's block and rewritten the first chapter of The Value of a Virgin. Yeah, I know. YAY!
Anyhow, go read that, and take the poll. And maybe reread the first chapter of this version. Hopefully I'll update this within the next week! :-)
Now, let us have a moment of silence for all the writing that has been lost.
FM Radio
P.S. Thank you to everyone who has reviewed this story. It helped me keep writing, and actually finish the reworked first chapter. It's posted under another story, but almost same title. Again thank you so much to anyone who has reviewed, your reviews kept me going.

It's pretty common knowledge that I am still learning my way around the kitchen. However, my daughter loves to cook so I find myself in the kitchen a lot! From my previous posts you all know I love the Homemade Pantry cookbook. I do, it's awesome. There is just something about being able to make your most basic ingredients that is satisfying. My daughter and I made our first batch of vanilla extract last summer and it's almost gone so we made some more last night. It's the easiest process ever but I never even thought about making it vs buying it before I read the cookbook.
First you will need vanilla beans. I couldn't find them locally so I ordered them online. I think they are less expensive online also. I ordered from Beanilla. I also purchased the tall mason jar from Hobby Lobby so I could store the remaining vanilla beans without scrunching them.
For the vanilla extract you only use the spent vanilla beans so you will need to find a great recipe to use the actually vanilla in! I know, it's a tough job…your going to probably have to bake a delicious cake, or pudding or something sweet and amazing. We chose a honey vanilla cake recipe from the Beanilla website last night. My husband's birthday is coming up so we planned ahead to make a cake using vanilla.
Once you have the empty vanilla beans you will pour the Vodka into a mason jar and put the beans in also. That's it! I don't think there is an exact science to how much Vodka you use and how many beans. We use cheap Vodka and it works great. I used about a cup of Vodka for this batch and two beans because that's what I had. I think on our previous batch it was similar. We may have used three beans.
It takes about three weeks for it to darken and really become good vanilla extract. Just let it sit until it does and then take out the beans. It's a fun process!
The link to the cake recipe is above. I have never put orange zest into a cake batter and I didn't think I was going to like it but I did very much!
Look at all of those specs of vanilla in the batter! The cake was very dense and heavy. I'm certain I did something wrong. I don't know what though. We used a classic butter frosting recipe from my Grandmother's Women's Home Companion Cookbook. This was published in 1942 and is very interesting!
The frosting was delicious. We just can't seem to frost a cake neatly…at all!! So, the birthday cake turned out like every other year…tastes great but didn't look great. It's almost a tradition at this point. But, they are homemade and we do give it a lot of effort so hopefully that counts for something.

This is the third and final article in a series profiling Meadowlands Hospital Medical Center. The first investigated the hospital's troubled birth-tourism program; the second detailed its questionable business practices.
Meadowlands Hospital Medical Center, hit with fines and accused of questionable financial practices, has been generous to New Jersey politicians. The owners, together with their family members, associates, businesses and the hospital itself, have contributed almost $900,000 to political candidates at the local, state, and federal levels.
Gov. Chris Christie has picked up $300,000 for his campaigns, and many elected officials of both political parties have benefitted from the largess of MHMC's owners.
These contributions, made beginning shortly before the principals entered into negotiations to buy the Secaucus hospital in 2008, have led some observers to question whether they were given in expectation that the hospital would be treated favorably, or that legislation the hospital supported would be approved.
The Health Professionals and Allied Employees union, which represents the medical center's nurses, accused the hospital's "owners, family members and the principals of its myriad related affiliated companies" of spreading their political contributions far and wide "as they've acquired other real estate, hospital ownerships, and ambulatory surgery centers," in a report it wrote about the hospital.
Among the criticisms the union has leveled against MHA — the company that owns the hospital — and its principals is that they made political contributions and "hired lobbying firms to oppose new laws that would further regulate their business practices."
The hospital's owners and its lobbyist declined to comment on the contributions.
The Christie Connection
The largest of the contributions totaled $250,000 and was given to America Leads, the SuperPAC backing Gov. Chris Christie's failed presidential bid, on the day the governor announced his candidacy last June, Federal Election Commission records show. That contribution came from Complete Medical Project Management LLC, which owns MHA LLC, the corporate owner of the hospital. Another 19 MHMC-related contributions totaling $55,100 went to Christie's gubernatorial and presidential campaigns. Combined, this represents more than $300,000 in money to Christie.
The Christie contributions are especially noteworthy because the $250,000 to America Leads ranked with several others as the sixth most-generous contribution to Christie's SuperPac.
Kevin Roberts, a spokesman for Christie at the time of this interview, rejected any suggestion that the Christie administration has been influenced by the donations.
"The Administration has provided more oversight to Meadowlands than any other hospital in the state in recent years, including numerous fines," he said.
The Price of Doing Business
The hospital was one of the first in New Jersey to be awarded for-profit status. The genesis of the purchase began with the formation of a limited liability company in August 2009, with the sale finally approved in December 2010. The initial ownership structure was complicated, involving 18 separate limited-liability companies and 37 individuals, including Raj Mukherji, a Democratic Assemblyman from Hudson County who was not in the Legislature at the time and sold his interest before his election. The principals with the largest ownership interests are Dr. Richard Lipsky, Anastasia Burlyuk, Tamara Dunaev, and Pavel Pogodin, all of Bergen County. Each of these four has been or is still involved with other LLCs, as well. Lipsky's network is the largest: he has been part of some three dozen companies that are either still registered or were closed within the past decade, in addition to those related to Meadowlands Hospital.
NJ Spotlight analyzed hundreds of campaign contributions from all the owners, members of their families, those associated with their numerous businesses, and hospital employees from 2008, the year before Lipsky's group approached LibertyHealth seeking to buy the Secaucus hospital, through 2015. The results show:
Some of the contributions made by Lipsky and associates to Wisniewski occurred around the time he sponsored legislation that would have exempted hospitals from having to comply with the caps on Personal Injury Protection (PIP) fees paid by auto insurance.
The insurance industry alleged at the time that Meadowlands Hospital was charging as much as 3,000 times more for medical procedures than outpatient facilities — for instance, $67,715 for a steroid injection in the back, for which a same-day surgery center could charge only $3,800. The hospital's president at the time did not deny the high fees, but said insurance paid only about 7 percent of what the hospital charged. There were also allegations that ambulatory surgery and pain-management practices in which some owners had an interest were referring clients to the hospital for treatment. The standalone clinics were subject to caps on PIP claims while the hospital was not.
Source: NJ Spotlight analysis of state and federal election data.
In 2011, Wisniewski was chair of the state Democratic committee and a member of the Assembly Financial Institutions and Insurance Committee when he introduced on November 10 a bill (A-4236) that would have prevented the state Department of Banking and Insurance's proposed rule capping PIP charges by hospitals from taking effect. It would have allowed hospitals to continue charging higher fees for outpatient services related to auto accidents than the DOBI schedule.

Wisniewski and Lipsky had a history: The lawmaker represented the doctor in 2008 when Lipsky and two partners were seeking to build a five-story healthcare facility on a corner lot in Bayonne. The facility never got the necessary approvals. Bayonne Med Realty, whose principal is listed in state business documents as Dr. Robert Federman of Fort Lee, one of Lipsky's two partners in the project, bought the property, currently a vacant lot, in August 2007 and recently sold it. .
On August 1, 2011, the DOBI proposed a sweeping auto insurance rule change that would have, among other provisions, limited the fees charged by hospitals for outpatient auto insurance-related care. The next day MHMC owners and associates made 10 contributions totaling more than $25,000 to Wisniewski. In July, while the DOBI rule was under discussion, Lipsky gave $1,500 to Wisniewski and he and five associates gave more than $15,000 to Assemblyman Jon Bramnick (R-Union) and the second highest-ranking Republican in the lower house
Bramnick, Wisniewski, and Assemblyman Vincent Prieto, D-Hudson and the current speaker of the Assembly, introduced their bill three months after DOBI proposed the rule change. Prieto is from Secaucus, where the hospital is located. He did not receive contributions from anyone related to MHMC.
Wisniewski declined to comment, but his office provided a copy of an op-ed he wrote for PolitickerNJ in May 2012 in response to an article it published on the issue. In it, he said he sponsored the bill to prevent hospital closings.
Fundraiser and Friend
Calling Lipsky a fundraiser, a friend, and a professional acquaintance, Wisniewski wrote that he was outraged at "the suggestion that my support for the bill was meant to benefit one hospital and was done in exchange for campaign contributions. It was not. The shaky foundation for the false charges rests on the fact that four years ago, I had a one-time business relationship with one of the hospital's owners, who subsequently became a campaign donor and fundraiser on my behalf."
He contended DOBI's proposed rule change was "inspired" by the auto insurance industry and he agreed to sponsor the bill to maintain the status quo and prevent a new practice that would have harmed hospitals.
"I chose to fight for our state's hospitals and I make no apologies for that," Wisniewski wrote.
The Assembly and Senate versions of the bill did not even receive a hearing. The DOBI amended its rule proposal in January 2012 in some substantial ways after receiving 18,000 comments. The change, which took effect the following January, imposed PIP fee caps on hospital outpatient services for the first time, but it allowed hospitals to charge higher fees than ambulatory surgery centers because hospital costs are higher..

Also a member of the hospital board, Burlyuk is a part-owner of the hospital as an individual and through a limited liability company she founded named Evan Management LLC, hospital ownership documents show.
Business documents link Burlyuk to six companies, in addition to ones affiliated with the hospital. And Burlyuk and Lipsky are both listed as vice presidents of Fenix Entertainment Corp., licensed in Florida with an address in Bal Harbor. The president of that company is Alexander Mamonov goes by the name DJ Fenix. News articles have called him "Vladimir Putin's favorite DJ."
Burlyuk was also one of three members of the board of Compassionate Care Centers of America Foundation Inc., which received approval from the state Department of Health in March 2011 to open a medical marijuana facility. Today it is called Garden State Dispensary, and it is located in Woodbridge.
News reports named Burlyuk as a one-quarter investor in a planned New York State brewery named Kikkerfrosch.
Burlyuk, 44, lives in Closter and also owns property in South Carolina, Long Branch' and Hackensack, according to property records.
Pogodin, who also sits on the hospital board, owns his share in the hospital through a limited liability company, Danika LLC, that he controls. Danika is registered in Florida at an address in Miami Beach and its beneficiaries include Nikole Pogodin and Daniel Pogodin, according to a June 2011 ownership chart of MHA.
In addition to his ties to hospital businesses, Pogodin also is listed in state documents as the manager and agent of Vogster Online, LLC, a software publisher, with an address on Route 17 in Saddle River. Pogodin registered Vogster Online in June 2011, about three weeks after Tamara Dunaev, the vice chair of the medical center, filed papers with the NJ Division of Revenue cancelling Vogster Entertainment.
According to the hospital's audit reports, it has paid Vogster more than $3 million between 2010 and 2011 for computer hardware and software, electronic medical records, and billing and website development and support.
Pogodin was a partner with Dunaev in a limited liability company registered in Florida until 2011.
He is married to Oksana Matyukhina, who had partnered with Dunaev in Vogster Entertainment, and lives in Upper Saddle River.
There were other legislators that had backed the effort to allow hospitals to continue to charge higher fees for PIP services. Even earlier than Wisniewski's bill, on July 12, Sen. Nicholas Sacco, the Hudson County Democrat whose 32nd District includes Secaucus, had introduced the bill first as S-3008. On October 19, 2011, Sacco got the maximum allowable contribution of $2,600 from each of three of the principals — Lipsky, Dunaev and Pogodin — for a total of $7,800.
For the Sacco contributions, only Lipsky listed his employer as Meadowlands Hospital. Pogodin named Vogster Online and Dunaev listed BASC Inc. BASC likely stands for Bergen Ambulatory Surgery Center, of which Dunaev is a principal. It shares a Saddle Brook address with Vogster Entertainment LLC, of which Dunaev was president.
The plethora of LLCs owned by the hospital's principals and the lack of uniformity in addresses and employers listed on election contribution filings made calculating the total in contributions attributed to the hospital difficult.
Lipsky's $150,000 was made in 47 separate contributions and had the greatest discrepancies in his identifying information. There were personal addresses in six municipalities — Woodcliff Lake, Bayonne, Park Ridge, Maplewood, Secaucus, and Hackensack. In Hackensack, there were three different street addresses. He listed nine different employers, not including variations on the name Meadowlands Hospital Medical Center.
Dunaev, who made nearly $69,000 in contributions, listed five employers. Burlyuk listed addresses in Secaucus, Hackensack, and Closter and four different employers in making more than $40,000 in contributions. Pogodin personally gave $37,000, listing four separate employers.
This 2011 election cycle, in which MHMC's principals and related individuals and companies gave the most money, also coincided with the period in which they purchased the hospital. LibertyHealth announces the sale in January 2010, the state Department of Health and Senior Services issued a Certificate of Need in November of that year, and a judge approved it in December 2010. Since then, the hospital has been under fire for some questionable business practices and been fined numerous times for failing to file financial reports with the state. It is now up for sale again.
The change in auto insurance related payments is not the only time Lipsky and others made political contributions while interested in an issue. Lipsky and others associated with the hospital gave former Bayonne Mayor Mark Smith more than $25,000 in contributions, most of that in 2010 and 2011, and $19,100 to Jason O'Donnell, a former state Assemblyman, Democratic chairman of Bayonne and Smith's director of public safety. Bayonne is where Lipsky and other investors had sought to build a federally qualified health center. Candidates for office in this city received more than those in any other New Jersey municipality.
The city where candidates got the second largest amount of money from those affiliated with Meadowlands Hospital was Newark. Lipsky personally gave $6,000 of the $14,400 contributed in total. Most of the money was given in 2010, the same year in which Lipsky reopened Columbus Hospital with his brother as a long-term acute care hospital in Newark.
They were also active in contributing to statewide political committes, giving $145,000 to the New Jersey Republican State Committee and GOP PACs in the Senate and Assembly. The Democratic Assembly campaign got $25,000 in total.
While the principals and others related to MHA gave to more than 80 sitting local, state and federal legislators, they tended to be more generous to those serving in offices near the hospital — with the exception of Wisniewski, who represents Middlesex County. And they gave to the chair of the Assembly health committee and head of the state Republican party.

The Jane Goodall Institute's Chimpanzee Eden
Just outside the city of Nelspruit is a unique sanctuary and attraction in South Africa that protects and conserves through educating the public and offering a safe environment for chimpanzees. It is the only chimpanzee sanctuary in South Africa. The institute takes in chimpanzees from around world, that have been taken from their natural environments at a young age and now find themselves lost and without refuge. The Jane Goodall Institute's Chimpanzee Eden rescues and takes care of these chimpanzees, and through their efforts they save countless lives each year.
Due to deforestation, hunting and the use of chimpanzees in laboratories, as circus performers and as pets, it is estimated that chimpanzees could be extinct within the next ten years. The Jane Goodall Institute has erected sanctuaries in various locations in Africa to give these magnificent animals the opportunity to recover from traumas suffered and a second chance at life. Conserving chimpanzees for future generations, fighting against their extinction and unconditional love and passion for chimpanzees is what drives the dedicated staff at The Jane Goodall Institute's Chimpanzee Eden.
The thousand hectare reserve offers the chimpanzees semi-wild enclosures, where they are taken care of, but can still enjoy the freedom and fun that their natural habitats would have given them. The chimpanzees are placed into the enclosures as a group, so they are able to interact naturally, and visitors are therefore able to experience the group dynamics of a chimpanzee family. Foraging areas around the enclosures give chimpanzees the independence of "finding" their own food, and brings visitors closer to the chimpanzees, as these areas also centralize them, making them easier to see. To keep Chimpanzee Eden running and the work they do going, they depend on the generosity of the public through donations and volunteers who give of their time. The Adopt a Chimp program has also aided in raising funds that are used towards rescue efforts and transportation of chimps to the facility. Rehabilitation and research are ongoing at the sanctuary so as to help chimpanzees adjust and to find better ways to assist the chimpanzees in the sanctuary as well as in the wild. Visiting The Jane Goodall Institute's Chimpanzee Eden is not only an enjoyable experience but enables love, life and safety to be given to the many chimpanzees still in need.

I have been struggling about what to share this past week or so. I cannot believe it has been 2 weeks since my last post. I have written about 10 posts in my head and even started a post on tattling that I want to share but....
We have been testing. Listening to a few kiddos that read a page long passage at 16 words per minute is lots of fun. Right as they are about to reach the 3 second miscue rule, they say the word. BUT, I am beyond proud of how they did. =)
We have done some fun math activities but I forgot to take pictures.
Grades and report cards have happened....I hate grading papers.
I have several packets for TpT that I cannot seem to finish.
I found out another loved one has cancer.
The weather in Texas goes from 75 to a high of 32 in in about 2 days....I have a desire to hibernate when it is cold.
I just seem to be in a funk.

Congratulations are in order for Tila Tequila.
The reality star, 32, is pregnant, she revealed via Facebook Friday (April 18). "Surprise!! I'm 10 weeks pregnant!" she captioned the above photo of her barely-there baby bump. "I just couldn't hold it in any longer as this brings me so much joy and happiness to know that there is a baby Tila on the way!"
She added: "May God bless my little bundle of joy on this Good Friday! Yayy! I'm gonna be a Mommy! I Love you sooooo much little baby!!"
The identity of the father is unknown at this time.
The former MTV star has had baby news in the past. In December 2009, Tila announced that she was set to be a surrogate mother for her brother and his wife. A few days after that announcement, she revealed she was not yet pregnant but planning on becoming a gestational carrier soon. No pregnancy or birth announcement followed these reports.
Then in January 2012, she announced that she was pregnant and retiring from Hollywood. Days later, she shared that The Game was the father of her child. However, there was no birth announcement in the months that followed.
The mom-to-be is best-known for starring in the 2007 reality show A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila. She's also had roles in The Cleveland Show, Robot Chicken, and the film I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry.

When visiting a museum or gallery, how do you typically act? I would guess you are very courteous and quiet, while trying your hardest to avoid touching things. At the next ARTLab, we will be breaking that habit by bringing Temporary Autonomous Zones (TAZs for short) to the Mattress Factory.
What is a TAZ you ask? According to artist in residence Benjamin Sota, they are a "socio-political tactic of creating temporary spaces that elude formal structures of control" and can be very influential in how people think about society. In these spaces, individuals can act in ways they normally wouldn't dare, free from the constraints of "normal" societal behavior. Sota creates a TAZ in his exhibition Damn everything but the circus, an installation that invites viewers to forget the rules and play to get a full understanding of the pieces.
At the upcoming ARTLab, visitors will be invited to create their own TAZs, each with a different "rule" everyone must follow upon entering - the sillier, the better. Sota makes it clear that TAZs don't work unless EVERYONE commits, so come out and join us for a fun afternoon of breaking the rules!
ARTLab and Drop-in Tours are open to all ages and free with museum admission. See you there!

About Scuba Diving Cancun
One of the great things about scuba diving Cancun is that there are many dive sites that are suitable for varied levels of experience which makes it a great family scuba destination. There are excellent training facilities too if you want to start with your scuba lessons.
The second largest barrier reef in the world passes the Cancun shores. The reefs offer spectacular color and diversity of life. There are multiple wrecks to be found that are just full with marine life of all shapes and sizes,which offer very interesting dives.
Due to the popularity of scuba diving Cancun you should ensure that you have all of your dives booked in advance before you arrive to ensure that you are not disappointed when you get there.
when is the best time to go scuba diving Cancun?
Cancun is located in tropical waters and as such there is very little to worry about regarding the weather, meaning that Cancun is suitable diving location all year round.
However most visitors do their best to avoid hurricane season which usually runs from May through to December, as occasionally dives may be cancelled due to incoming storms.
- Average Water Temperature: 26oC- 29oC
- Average Air Temperature: 29oC – 36oC
- Protection: 3mm – 5mm Shorty Recommended
- Visibility: 20 - 45 metres
- Coldest: December – April
- Hottest: August - October
One of the reasons that Cancun is so popular with scuba divers is that the great weather conditions on land are reflected in the calm clear waters that surround the island. The visibility is great all year round and there are some incredible opportunities for night diving to be had.
Scuba dive Sites in and around Cancun
- Dos Ojos: This is a cavern or better known as a cenote at its very best. Recommended for advanced open water divers and above, clear water and incredible rock formations await.
- Bat Cave: Home to large columns, stalactites and incredibly fragile looking rock formations.
- Chitales Reef: This is a very active dive site with diverse marine life. The visibility is fantastic but be prepared for problems with surging.
- Aristos Reef: This site is recommended for medium to advanced level divers. Situated on the eastern side of the island, the reef offers a vibrant and colorful underwater landscape.
- Punta Negra: This dive site is suitable for all experience levels due to the low currents. The average dive depth is around 20 metres and there are some incredible coral formations to be seen.
- Media Luna: Caverns, arches, tunnels and bridges can all be found here in relatively shallow waters (approx. 10 metres). This site is recommended for novices due to the very weak current and because it offers a vast diversity of marine life.

How To Get To Cancun?
Cancun Airport is serviced by many major airlines, both internationally and internally, and is the second largest airport in Mexico, located only 10km from the main resort hotels.
There are some things to bear in mind when you arrive at the airport:
The most difficult part of your journey will be once you have reclaimed your baggage and try to make it to your transportation outside of the airport, as there will be many people trying to get you to sign up for tours and excursions, ignore them as you can always see to that when you have settled in your hotel.
Once you have reclaimed your baggage and made it through customs, hold onto your bags. Do not give them to any locals offering to carry them for you, as you will either be charged for the service of never see your bags again.
Only two companies are licensed to provide shuttle service between the airport and the hotel, prices are non-negotiable and their booths are easily located in the airport should you not easily locate your transport when you get outside. Do not accept transportation from anyone else.
About Cancun
Scuba diving in Cancun offers an insight in another world just as beautiful as the ancient land above the water, rich in its own colorful and diverse life and habitats.
Besides great scuba diving, Cancun offers the very best in Caribbean hospitality. Located in the Yucatan Peninsula on Mexico's south east coast it offers visitors a wealth of beached robed in soft white sand, edged by clear turquoise waters.
This is a place with a vibrant and colorful nightlife, where days can be filled exploring the eco-parks and the archaeological sites that illustrate the Mayan heritage of the land.

HÀ NỘI — The year of 2016 was a milestone for Hà Nội's tourism as the sector saw many positive developments thanks to more government attention and investment.
It was the first year Hà Nội welcomed four million international tourists, the highest figure ever.
The past year has also seen the introduction of several of Hà Nội's tourism products. The city kickstarted numerous projects to attract tourists including the pedestrian zone around the iconic Sword Lake, Ký Ức Hà Nội (Hà Nội Memories) programme or the Áo Dài (long robe) Festival.
According to Đỗ Đình Hồng, Director of Hà Nội's Department of Tourism, the city is focusing on developing high quality tourism, especially cultural tourism that will become the foundation on which the city will build its tourism brand.
Considered the top tourism centre of the north, the city helps boost tourism in other provinces and contributed to the development of national tourism.
However, Hà Nội's tourism development has not reached its potential, experts said. — VNS

Epub ➟ The Single Dads Proposal (Single Dad Docs #3) Author Karin Baine – 1sm.info
Boring I was sick and tired of re reading about the trust issues of the two main characters I struggled to get through it. Will Their Newfound Love Lead To An Island Wedding In This Single Dad Docs Story, Aristocratic Surgeon Rafael Valdez Might Be The Heartthrob Of Maple Island, But He Has Eyes For Only One Girl His Daughter, Gracie Until Child Life Specialist Summer Ryan Helps Rafael Realize He Doesn T Have To Cope With The Special Care Gracie Needs Alone Can He Convince Summer There S Room In His Life And His Heart For Her, Too Single Dad Docs QuartetBook 1 Tempted By Her Single Dad Boss By Annie O NeilBook 2 Resisting Her English Doc By Annie ClaydonBook 3 The Single Dad S Proposal By Karin BaineBook 4 Nurse To Forever Mom By Susan Carlisle Both The Main Characters Were Riveting Ms Baine Has Delivered A Wonderful Read Where The Chemistry Between This Couple Was Intense Harlequin Junkie On Their Mistletoe Baby Ms Baine Brings These Two Truly Lovely People Together And Both Learn That Together They Can Conquer Anything A Very Moving Story You Will Truly Enjoy Goodreads On From Fling To Wedding Ring This was adult, bedtime reading for me and took two weeks, so could probably be read in a weekend A sweet, contemporary romance. Review posted at HarlequinJunkie.comSummer Ryan has every reason to avoid Dr Rafael Valdez She s been burned by love before and doesn t know whether she d survive making the same mistake she did with her ex in getting involved with a man that has a child Still, there s something about Rafael s daughter that has her sticking her nose in where it doesn t belong, especially since Rafael doesn t trust easily after his ex wife However, the time they spend together, the Summer finds herself falling for Rafael Will history repeat itself or will she finally get her man Read More Really enjoyed this volume of the Maple Island Single Dad Docs series I do think it helps to have read the other books by the other authors though.I really liked the dynamic between Summer and Rafael and I feel the scenes between Gracie and those she loves were sensitively done in trying to portray a child on the autistic spectrum.Rafael and Summer s relationship did feel a little fast at times and Christina was something of annoyance but all in all I enjoyed the sweetness of the story coupled with the spiciness of the relationship I do think I prefer Karin s U.K based stories though. I tried to finish this book, but got about 2 3 s of the way through and just didn t care enough about either character to continue The story doesn t explain why they like each other, but they are fighting their attraction to each other due to past disappointments in the romance department They see each other and only interact when the hero drops his autistic daughter off at the daycare where the heroine works How does this foster love or even friendship I think this falls into the insta love category of books, which is not my favorite trope If you like this type of book, you may enjoy it than I did.

The Portsmouth Brewery in Portsmouth, N.H., announced today the resignation of Tod Mott, the beer maker's head brewer and, most famously, the brains behind the much-coveted Kate the Great Imperial Stout. The brewery will no longer produce the beer, and former assistant brewer Tyler Jones will replace Mott.
Kate the Great, an annual brew whose release was celebrated with its own virtual holiday, was a boon for Portsmouth Brewery; with ratings of "100" from both RateBeer.com and BeerAdvocate.com, the malt masterpiece was considered one of the country's best beers. The brewery earned $16,000 on the March 5, 2012 release alone, not to mention another roughly $30,000 earmarked for charity from scratch-tickets sold in exchange for a chance to buy a bottle. Mott brought the recipe to Portsmouth eight years ago, and retains the rights to the recipe, but not the name.
"Tod came into Portsmouth Brewery with the imperial stout recipe and he'll also leave with it; Portsmouth Brewery retains the rights to the intellectual property known as 'Kate the Great,' including the name and branding," said the brewery in a press release. "Tod has plans to brew this beloved beer again, it'll just have a different name. At the time of writing this release, future plans for Kate the Great have yet to be decided."
Mott's other creations, such as one of the region's first wet-hopped ales, will remain in the brewery's repertoire.
Mott's last day is July 19, and the brewery plans to send Mott off with a toast and a torch-passing ceremony.

PHPBB3 – backup & restore tutorial (this tutorial should apply to other forum/bbs on mysql)
For this tutorial we will use several methods to backup and restore mysql databases.
Since you are reading this guide and need to back the database then you may already have a running server or have it hosted somewhere, for those who don't have a server here is some software to get you hosting.
These downloads are for Windows, but the back up process is more or less universal.
Appserv: http://www.appservnetwork.com/
Wamp server: http://www.wampserver.com/en/download.php
XAMPP: http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html
PHPmyAdmin: http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/downloads.php << this eases MYSQL administration by providing a web interface.
Please Read this tutorial from beginning to end first, I am not any good at writing and tend to write in parallel, so some stuff may apply to you some might not.
• Any forum mods for any forum/s, will molest the database and your forum: most mods aren't updated or thoroughly tested, this means you will have to install exactly the same mods onto your forum for your database to work properly.
• Usually the new (restore) forum version and the mods version/s have to be the same version as the old (backup).
• Large SQL files are messy and a real pain to restore.
There are lots of ways to back up your phpbb, a full backup includes your entire phpbb directory and the full SQL database (or at least the part where phpbb was).
If your host backs up your site, then it should be a full backup. Backing up the database yourself isn't so difficult, follow the steps.
1. The UI content (suggest a better name for the files, if you have one)
Use your favourite ftp client to download the entire phpbb directory and all its contents, this is needed if you installed any mods or would like to see any uploaded stuff in your restored forum.
Skip this if you Have PHPBB3 with SQL attachments & haven't installed any mods.
2a. Backup SQL data – via PHPBB
SQL holds everything important, backing it up once in a while will save you hair and your friends (everybody hates re-registering for a failed/deleted SQL forum).
Lets assume you have your forum installed and running, log into the "administrators control panel" then select the "Maintenance" tab and click on "Backup" in the menu.
Select "Full" , "GZIP" , "STORE AND DOWNLOAD" , then click "SELECT ALL" and then click "SUBMIT"
Save the file somewhere.
That's it you're done.
NOTE: Ticking "Store and download" makes a backup in the "phpbb/store" (phpbb = where your phpbb is installed) directory so you can restore via the restore option.
2b. Backup SQL data – via phpMyAdmin
Most *nix web hosts will have phpMyAdmin installed, usually it's only accessible via your host's control panel. Click on phpmyadmin (in your control panel, could be found under database management) or http://yourdomain.com/phpmyadmin , so your screen looks like this:
Find your phpbb3 database in the "existing databases" list and click on it, then click on the export tab, you should see this:
Lets start clicking, click "SELECT ALL" (NOTE: if you have only one database with more than just phpbb3 then you need to select ONLY the tables beginning with "phpbb_"), then click in the "SQL" select circle, then click "SAVE AS A FILE", then "ZIPPED" and lastly click the "GO" button to have a download pop-up, now save your phpbb SQL data somewhere.
That's it you're done.
3a. Restoring via PHPBB3
You will need to install phpbb3, keeping the phpbb3 administrator settings & table prefix the same as your previous forum !
After you have installed your forum, use your favourite FTP client to upload the "SQL" file to phpbb/store , look at picture to understand the directory structure.
Now, login into your phpbb "ADMINISTRATOR CONTROL PANEL", go to "MAINTENANCE" tab, then "RESTORE". If you have done the previous bit correctly you should see this:
If, however you uploaded the "SQL" files to the incorrect directory you will see this:
If you don't see any backups, retrace your steps and learn the directory structure of phpbb/store.
If you do se a backup or two, select the one you would like to restore and click start restore.
That's it you're done !
3a. Restoring via phpMyAdmin
Lets go back to phpmyadmin, either through your hosts control panel or directly http://yourdomain.com/phpmyadmin
Select your pbpbb database from the existing databases and click on it, then click on the "IMPORT" tab, then click the "BROWSE"
Select your saved "SQL" backup file (either zipped, gzipped or plain sql)
and then click the "GO" button.
If you get "Import has been successfully finished, 212 queries executed." displayed on this same page, then you have restored your pbpbb backup. The number of queries will vary according to the size of your forum.
I would like this tut to be informative and undestandable, comments & corrections welcome.

Alaco is proud once again to have sponsored the annual Logan Symposium on Investigative Reporting, held in Berkeley, California. This is the second year that Alaco has been a sponsor and the fourth that representatives of the company have been invited to attend.
Since 2007, the U.C. Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism's Investigative Reporting Program has hosted a "by invitation only" symposium each spring in honor of the Reva and David Logan Foundation, which endowed the program. The only symposium of its kind in the country, it routinely brings together a veritable "who's who" of top journalists, law enforcement and government officials to address the critical issues confronting this specialized field. The symposium also unites media executives involved in both non-profit and commercial outlets, as well as media attorneys, academics, major foundations, and philanthropists who support journalism in the public interest.
The theme this year was Journalism in the Age of Trump. Among a diverse programme of panels and events, former CIA Director John Brennan (2013 to 2017) addressed issues such as: Russian interference in the US election and in Europe; cyber threats; and the assertion that the current US administration is undermining its own security apparatus. The sight of a room of journalists applauding a former intelligence director, one of the key architects of the US drone programme and a proponent of extraordinary rendition, was a strong indication of the changing priorities and new alliances of the media since 2016.
The full schedule of the two-day programme can be found here.Next > < Prev

Okay, I'm dating myself here a bit, but I used to really, really LOVE my Saturday cartoons and one of my absolute favorite times was when Mr. Peabody and Sherman would step into the Wayback Machine! For a few minutes, I would be transported back to an "important" event in history and get to see what happened, or what the writers wished we could know! I learned a lot from those trips in the Wayback Machine. For example, did you know that Ponce De Leon actually found the Fountain of Youth and ending up founding a Nursery School for all the men who were so thirsty that they drank from it?
Of course, that seems silly, but in my mind as a child – it seemed plausible. It led me to want to know MORE about Ponce De Leon and this magical fountain. When the topic came up in my studies, it led to my ability to draw from past experiences and ask questions.
I would like to take you on a trip in MY PERSONAL Wayback Machine as a first grade teacher. Sadly, we aren't going back to 1513, but only to 2011. That was the year that I had this year's current third graders in class.
In 2011, if I had a concern about a student and felt that the student needed extra services, I contacted the parent. We met, we talked about the child's progress. I then went to the Reading Teacher and arranged for some extra help for the student. There was no RTI process, which by the way EXCLUDES parents. There were no monthly meetings where we tried some sort of "research based" intervention while waiting to get help for the child. Within a week, with parental consent, the student was receiving help!
2011 was also the year in which I attended training about Project Based Learning. I decided that the perfect "project" for my students would be to produce and present Fairy Tale Plays. We spent many school hours reading Fairy Tales, talking about the elements of Fairy Tales, and then moved on to talking about what made a play "good" or enjoyable.
My students created scenery, memorized lines, made costume decisions as a group, rehearsed, learned to wear a lapel mic, learned about blocking on the stage, gathered props, and got ready to put on our show!
During the show, LIttle Red Riding Hood was so into character that when the wolf arrived at Grandma's house, she wandered off the stage to pick imaginary flowers. Her parents were panicked- had she lost her nerve? Later she told them, "I was just doing what Little Red Riding Hood would have been doing." That student still asks me "Remember when I walked off the stage, and my mom thought I got scared?"
I had the great opportunity to see my students work together! I got to see the delight and a few tears in parents' eyes when they watched their "shy" child stand in front of everyone to deliver lines.
I'm not saying that it was a perfect time, but it was a child-centered time. Now, my days are filled with Progress Monitoring, analyzing STAR Test data, meeting with my PLC to discuss implementing the CCSS, assessing sight words, giving timed tests to make sure they all know their addition and subtraction facts, and in general keeping my head above water.
We are so busy testing and monitoring progress that we aren't letting KIDS be KIDS! I have to "fudge" my daily attendance reporting in order for my students to have FREE PLAY every day. I am expected to have them all reading at the exact same level at the exact same time – there is no time for Little Red Riding Hood to wander around picking flowers.

Welcome Year of the Monkey – Preparing for Chinese New Year
Anyone involved in sourcing from China has likely been preparing for Chinese New Year for several weeks. The "new year," also known as the Spring Festival, is marked by the lunisolar Chinese calendar. The festivities usually start the day before the new year and continue until the Lantern Festival, the 15th day of the new year. During that time, factories and other businesses are closed.
What happens during Chinese New Year?
Chinese New Year is the most significant holiday in China. It's a time when the Chinese return to their home towns and celebrate with friends and family. Learn more about the cultural aspects here.
For those involved in manufacturing within the region, there's an urgency prior to the holiday to ensure timely shipments. This is where proactive planning is helpful.

The Heartland Institute and the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC) have been hard at work for the past three years on a new edition of Climate Change Reconsidered. The first volume of the new report, to be titled Climate Change Reconsidered II: Physical Science, will be released in digital form on September 17 to coincide with the release of the IPCC's 5th assessment report. A second volume on "Impacts" is slated for release in March or April 2014.
The research effort is led by Craig Idso, Ph.D., chairman of the Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change; Robert Carter, Ph.D., Former Head of the School of Earth Sciences, James Cook University (Australia), and S. Fred Singer, Ph.D., president of the Science and Environmental Policy Project and professor emeritus of environmental science at the University of Virginia. An international team of lead authors, section authors, contributors, and reviewers is participating in the effort.
The first two volumes published in the Climate Change Reconsidered series, in 2009 and 2011, were widely recognized as the most comprehensive and authoritative critiques of the alarmist reports of the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Reviews and the complete texts of both volumes are available here and here. In June, a division of the Chinese Academy of Sciences published a Chinese translation and condensed edition of the two volumes.
During the next several weeks we will be completing peer review, proofing the final copy, writing the executive summary, and preparing for the September release of Volume 1. If you have specific expertise, advice, requests, or help to offer, please contact:
- For outreach to opinion leaders: Jim Lakely, email@example.com
- For outreach to elected officials: John Nothdurft, firstname.lastname@example.com
- For outreach to academics and scientists: Sam Karnick, email@example.com.
- To make a special donation to help us print, mail, and market this terrific report: Mark Sulkin, email@example.com
Thanks to everyone who participated in the production and promotion of the first two issues, and thanks especially to the scientists and editors for their enormous investment of effort to produce the new edition!

Heal all the windy world. Feel so great, it's absurd. But my heart feels liberty as they cut down one more tree (righteousness does fulfill). Give a hand, to those, who misunderstand, tell them it's a favored world. Smell all the sights and sounds. Help make it a higher ground. Fill my world up, with solid ground. I am divine in love, with the solid ground, hallow, it's a cloud.
Making music in my heart. I feel humble and a part. Of a world, that holds me close, but allows me to flow, and grow and know. Where does the river go, but under fabled rainbows. Where golden honey pots live, and rushing cows do whiff (must/musk/prayer robe). And closer am I to you, with this place, of a honey dew. My soul grows, with this sacred view. I love you.
My heart shines. I stand up to light, the sky. I am the Sun Dance today. I bring my heart to display. I give my soul to you. I bring in the love of a sacred blue, the royal art, in me and you, kinsmen a part, of this loyal true. Bring me home to you. Bring in rainbows. Show the world, of many colors in bloom, just like it feels in June. There is abundance, ever, signs gift the hard work that is near, but we lovingly toil away, to bring in our soul's display. I shine for you today. I bring in light for you in dark rays, my heavenly soul. I give the spirit an embrace. I give my heart, a blessing and a trace. We are divine you and me. I do love, the heart that is free. My soul longs to be near thee, the garden does grow. I sea your soul.
Perfect are you. My heart is blue (true blue, relatives to/fro/two, united royal blue). My waking hours, I long to be near you. Hold me in heart, take my hands, humble part, welcome me home in your arms. Put on that charm. I do live in a world of blue, sum are sad, you know it's true. Sum are glad, it's a lighted view. Sum are treasures, me and you. Let us join in arms, bring in hearts with charm. Show the world, to realize. That rainbow wariors, have a surprise. We will walk towards your heart. We will embrace, all sacred parts. We are embraced, by your love. Come next to me. I feel you want to be free!
Come hold my hands. Let us understand. Validate all of man. Gift them your heart's dance. Hold every word, as sacred treasure, a trance. Validate all they say, bringing them closer to your rays. There you will be one heart. Then they will listen to your part. They will gift the charm back to you. And both now, will be a sacred view. You think, we are must have pain, but it's better to gain, sacred harmony between foes, to make this world, better heaven knows.
In me, I find glory filled. Do you seek treasures by the mill, wood unites, the law of love invites, contained, in fabric, pieces are frayed. But my heart will linger for always. And now, we realize, how great we are, surprised. Heaven brings us home to you. To serve the sacred true. And my heart knows the place, where heaven sends your grace. You hold me in these hoops of love, to bring us closer, to heaven's doves. We gather to show the world. We gather together, to know it's fill. Evolution, come take my heart this day. I have learned to pray!
White Buffalo Calf Woman Sings and Holiness David Running Eagle Shooting Star Drums!
Pray With Elders around the World
The four sides of a clover, where buffalo roam (four sides of a house, our rainbow colors, the four directions), has only decide to catch the rain. The tears of those who need to expose, a heart full of pain. They need a Great Mother who can feel the heart of their clover, to embrace all they feel each day. Teach the hourly blessing and daily fire ceremony (best hourly too, but baby steps to learn the way) to cleanse their own river (spiritual flow, the wind that blows, in the holy temple within), sow you don't have to feel all their pain. Warriors you have so much to gain, our Great Father is need of your reigns. Gift him a heart of a warrior, who shall show the way!
Sacred Song Blessings, gift all a good song, because you are perfect in all that does song. Our hearts reach into heaven, and we flood, with a sound, the music of Angels, that gift us pure sound. I want you to know, that you are part of God, the echo, that lingers till light hits the "Dawn". And we are the magic, that children who know, the heart always has pureness, like the blessed snow!

The Justia Lawyer Directory is a listing of lawyers, legal aid organizations, and pro bono legal service organizations. Whether you were injured, are accused of a crime, or are merely engaging in everyday affairs that affect your legal rights or property, an attorney can help you resolve problems or prevent new ones from arising.
Here are just a few situations where you might want to seek the advice of an attorney:
- You were injured in a car or truck accident
- You have been arrested and charged with a crime, such as DUI or shoplifting
- You are considering separating from your spouse
- You have been subjected to harassment or other discrimination at work
Use Justia to research and compare Brooksville attorneys so that you can make an informed decision when you hire your counsel.
It is important to research an attorney before hiring him or her. Be sure to evaluate an attorney's experience (types of cases handled, prior results obtained, etc.). Although prior results are not indicative of the likelihood of success in your case, they can help you make an informed decision.
Also worth serious consideration is the attorney's location, particularly if you will be traveling to visit him or her for consultations.
Finally, research an attorney to see whether he or she has ever been subject to discipline. Although disciplinary actions do not necessarily impact the attorney's competence to handle your case, they may affect your decision whether to hire.

One of my goals this year is to dress cute and do my makeup instead of wallowing in depression all the time. Getting back on my meds has really helped, but I think I'm going to up my dosage. Anywho, here is my super cute self looking awkward!
I was looking pretty witchy before my lipstick wore off since it was a little dark and my skirt was a maxi. Also, since I'm vain and feeling cute, look at my eyelashes w/out mascara!
I don't feel so good about my looks very often (although it's getting better), but I've always loved my eyelashes. Post your awesome selfies below if you want!

WATCH: YouTuber Arganalth Re-Creates "Smells Like Teen Spirit" With Hard Drives and Floppy Disks
It takes a certain skill set to play a song on an instrument, or sing it. But to recreate it on an entirely different medium? That takes a lot of time and patience. This is what YouTuber Arganalth does, creating renditions of hit songs using only hard drives and floppy disks. He recently posted a version of Nirvana classic "Smells Like Teen Spirit" gone completely computerized. It is a strange, but awesome sensation to watch: it sounds a lot like the song, and Arganalth may be on to something. Computers…Read More

What kind of question is that? This week the American Academy of Dermatology and the CDC came out with several papers on the incidence and prevention of skin cancer. The papers cover ultra-violet exposure to children and adolescents, mortality rates, racial and ethnic variations, education in schools and screening. Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology – Supplements
So, here's the picture on skin cancer. It is increasing across the country. It leads to higher mortality. It has a strong genetic component: light skin predisposes individuals to skin cancer. It is highly preventable by taking protective step against skin exposure. But many people do not take the preventive steps. Hey, sounds a lot like obesity doesn't it? Epidemic level of incidence, genetic predisposition, high environmental exposure, lack of personal protective behavior. So why do people get so excited when obesity is considered a disease but not when skin cancer is discussed? (For an example of the reaction, see the comments to Dr. Scott Kahan's blog on Huffington Post Scott Kahan, M.D.: Why Obesity Is a Disease.)
Clearly, melanoma is a disease. So, too is obesity. The difference is our knee-jerk reaction to want to blame persons with obesity for their condition while cutting other people a lot of slack for contributing to their diseases. Until we get over this attitude, progress on preventing and treating obesity will remain limited.
