Twitter Plot Summary: Three women discover the man they’re seeing has been cheating on them, so they seek revenge.
Five Point Summary:
1. Well that was awkward.
2. Nicky Minaj can’t open her jaw, apparently.
3. Kate Upton, clearly not cast because of her acting abilities.
4. Revenge plans kick in.
5. An amusing joke! And then the film ends.
It seems that writing films specifically for a female audience is an incredibly difficult process. With the exception of Bridesmaids a couple of years ago, it’s difficult to name any other films in recent years that have successfully nailed the formula and provided believable women in an entertaining setting. Despite its marketing campaign trying to prove otherwise, The Other Woman is a resounding failure, trying to portray women as strong and independent but instead making them out to be insecure and willing to forgive male indiscretions because they apparently can’t do better for themselves. They do of course realise that they can do better through a series of somewhat unbelievable plot contrivances, but it’s a long time in arriving.
It’s a story that stretches credulity in the first place, with Leslie Mann’s Kate discovering that her husband has been having an affair with Cameron Diaz’s Carly, and then both of them soon realise he’s also hooked up with Kate Upton’s Amber and, it turns out, many more women besides. Joining forces, the three of them hatch a plan to get revenge on Mark (Game of Thrones’ Nicholas Coster-Waldau) for his lying, cheating and stealing. The friendship between Kate and Carly does develop well despite the unusual circumstances which it begins under, and both Mann and Diaz are strong performers who invest in making this screen friendship work. This is perhaps the only positive point to draw, so let’s explore the negatives shall we?
The revenge aspect of the narrative – which you would expect to play the biggest role – doesn’t kick in until over an hour in, and before it has time to become something genuinely funny, we’re lumbered once again with female indecisiveness and yet more unnecessarily shrill conversations that lead to a cliche and all too convenient finale.
Kate Upton has almost zero acting ability, so we should be grateful that the script gives her very little to do beyond smile and look good in a bikini. Similarly a brief cameo from Nicky Minaj as Carly’s receptionist is ruined by her jaw apparently being wired shut – she talks as if she’s a ventriloquist’s dummy who has been magically brought to life and given a film role.
What The Other Woman needs, beyond a page one rewrite, is its running time trimmed to a more manageable 90-100 minutes (comedies running beyond their natural limit is all Judd Apatow’s fault), a tighter focus and development of the female relationships, and more emphasis on seeking revenge for Mark’s infidelity. Surely they could have come up with some more entertaining methods of getting their own back beyond the three or four ideas we get to see?
A couple of half decent jokes aside, namely the trio discretely feeding Mark laxatives and oestrogen, and him constantly walking into clear glass walls thinking there’s nothing there, come far too late to save it from being a trainwreck, and a greater effort on introducing actual jokes in the first two acts would have gone a long way towards saving the production. In one scene Kate’s dog decides to relieve himself on the apartment floor. As far as critical commentary goes, his analysis of The Other Woman is spot on.

It may seem hard to be understood that one is blessed when persecuted, but for those who carry the name of Christian know how the Lord they serve suffered persecution and it is a way of life for the believer as well(Matthew 5:10-12), Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. (2 Timothy 3:12).
We are not to be ashamed but let the message of Gods glory be spoken. When we are tried in our faith and reproached for the name of Christ, it is a joy to be part of Christ’s sufferings for this shows us His spirit rests upon us(1 Peter 4:12-19). Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters. Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
When Paul and the apostles spoke the people knew their teaching was very different, and even though they were beaten they knew they were counted worthy to suffer shame for Jesus’ name!(Acts 5:41-42). And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name. And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.

Humanity is wonderfully diverse, and not just in the obvious racial and ethnic ways. Humanity is diverse is the way we each approach life and live out purpose and meaning. This is an incredible and beautiful thing.
Leadership is the same way. Leaders are quite diverse. Yet, often we read leadership books or attend seminars and it comes across as one-size-fits-all kind of thing. It is not.
Some leaders make us think, some lead us to new places, some motivate us to do more, some instill purpose, some teach us, some inspire us, some create, some bring growth, all add value.
Some types of leaders are…
- …pioneers – those that lead the way into new and uncharted territory
- …pilots – those that help us get from here to there
- …visionaries – those that see what others don’t
- …creators – those that make new things and new ways of doing
- …managers – those that help teams accomplish stated goals
- …coaches – those that help teams and individuals do more
- …teachers – those that show how and lead to betterment
- …connectors – those that bring people together to create synergy
- …motivators – those that rally people to a cause and create movement
Over the next few weeks, I am going to write out a series of posts exploring these 9 types of leaders more in depth.
One of the things that would make a huge and positive impact on our society would be to celebrate the wonderful diversity that exists in life and this includes among leaders. Unity does not mean conformity or likeness. Unity means agreement in purpose. The best unity is when we come together with others and share ideas and each uses their unique insight and perspective to make the whole better.

O LORD, raise up, we pray thee, thy power, and come among us, and with great might succour us; that whereas, through our sins and wickedness, we are sore let and hindered, thy bountiful grace and mercy may speedily help and deliver us; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with thee and the Holy Ghost, be honour and glory, world without end. Amen.
Source: Bishop Gelasius of Rome Sacramentary [464 AD]. The 1662 edition added the "running the race that is before us" "Succor" is to run to help, while "sore let" is to thwart, hinder
But will not He who at first came concealed, because humble, come again manifested, because exalted? You have just listened to the Psalm: "God shall come manifestly, and our God shall not keep silence." He was silent that He might be judged, He will not be silent when He begins to judge. It would not have been said, "He will come manifestly," unless at first He had come concealed; nor would it have been said, "He shall not keep silence," unless He had first kept silence. How was He silent? Interrogate Isaiah: "He was brought as a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before his shearer was dumb, so He opened not His mouth." "But He shall come manifestly, and shall not keep silence." In what manner "manifestly"? "A fire shall go before Him, and round about Him a strong tempest." That tempest has to carry away all the chaff from the floor, which is now being threshed; and the fire has to burn what the tempest carries away. But now He is silent; silent in judgment, but not silent in precept. For if Christ is silent, what is the purpose of these Gospels? what the purpose of the voices of the apostles, what of the canticles of the Psalms, what of the declarations of the prophets? In all these Christ is not silent. But now He is silent in not taking vengeance: He is not silent in not giving warning. But He will come in glory to take vengeance, and will manifest Himself even to all who do not believe on Him. But now, because when present He was concealed, it behoved that He should be despised. For unless He had been despised, He would not have been crucified; if He had not been crucified, He would not have shed His blood-the price by which He redeemed us. But that He might give a price for us, He was crucified; that He might be crucified, He was despised; that He might be despised, He appeared in humility.
Yet because He appeared as it were in the night, in a mortal body, He lighted for Himself a lamp by which He might be seen. That lamp was John, concerning whom you lately heard many things: and the present passage of the evangelist contains the words of John; in the first place, and it is the chief point, his confession that he was not the Christ. But so great was the excellence of John, that men might have believed him to be the Christ: and in this he gave a proof of his humility, that he said he was not when he might have been believed to have been the Christ; therefore, "This is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites to him from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?" But they would not have sent unless they had been moved by the excellence of his authority who ventured to baptize. "And he confessed, and denied not." What did he confess? "And he confessed, I am not the Christ."

Nº 10 2012 > ITU Telecom World 2012 | Special report
Accessibility for all
Leveraging new demographic opportunities for mobile applications and services
Talking about the opportunities that smartphones and new applications offer for ICT users with disabilities, Fouad Hassoun, CEO of Medialog Accessibilities Group, who is himself blind, explained that accessibility to computers has changed the daily lives of blind people, giving them access to education and a host of jobs, previously closed off to people with disabilities. In contrast, recent developments in mobile devices may not be so helpful. “Now access to the smartphone is making things very smart, even too smart. It is not easy for us to keep up with this evolution and these new devices”, said Mr Hassoun.
Some panellists were confident that special needs would eventually be met by the ICT sector, but said that it might take some time. Axel Leblois, President and Executive Director of G3ict’s Global Initiative for Inclusive Information and Communication Technologies, gave the example of Japan, where telecommunication companies only turned to meeting the needs of the elderly and people with disabilities when they found their penetration figures were flattening out.
Gaurang Kanvinde, CEO at Accessible Systems, said that his start-up ensures that phones, applications and even buildings are accessible to all and barrier-free. “We design our apps adopting universal design principles. That means that your app should have multiple ways of doing the same thing, so that different users can do the same thing but in different ways”, said Mr Kanvinde.
Some speakers warned that leaving change to market forces alone is not enough. “If there is no regulation, we can’t make the comparisons and work out where the gaps are. We can’t assess and work out whether iPhones, for example, are making things better or worse for people with disabilities”, said Mandlesilo Msimang, Managing Director of Pygma Consulting.
“ITU is committed to connecting the world”, said Houlin Zhao, ITU Deputy Secretary-General and Chairman of a special ITU disabilities task force. “ICT are probably the most inclusive infrastructure in the world — they are now within the reach of nearly all the world’s people, even the poorest and those in the most remote regions.” Referring to the more than 650 million people with disabilities of some kind or another, Mr Zhao added that this was one large underserved and under-connected group.

Randal Alexander Grichuk
- Bats Right, Throws Right
- Height 6' 1", Weight 195 lb.
- High School Lamar Consolidated High School
- Debut April 28, 2014
Outfielder Randal Grichuk was selected by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in the first round of the 2009 amateur draft with the 24th overall pick. He was signed by scout Kevin Ham and made his pro debut that summer with the AZL Angels, hitting .322 with 7 homers in 53 games, an excellent start to a professional career for a 17-year-old.
Grichuk had played for the Richmond, TX team in the 2003 Little League World Series.
Given his young age, the Angels did not rush him through his system, putting him back in the Arizona League to start 2010, where he hit .327 in 10 games. He then moved up to the Midwest League, where he hit .292 with 19 doubles and 7 homers in 52 games for the Cedar Rapids Kernels. In 2011, an injury cost him a good chunk of the season, as he played only 14 game sin the California League, where he should have been all year, the rest of his time being back with the AZL Angels and Cedar Rapids on rehabilitation assignments. Altogether, he played 53 games, hitting only .256 in what was a lost year. He bounced back in 2012 with a full season for the Inland Empire 66ers of the California League, putting up a .298 average, with 30 doubles, 9 triples and 18 homers, with 79 runs scored and 71 RBIs in an excellent all-around season. In 2013, he was promoted to AA and the Arkansas Travelers of the Midwest League. Still only 21, he fell back to .256/.306/.474 in 128 games, but his power was still very good, with 27 doubles, 8 triples and 22 homers. He also scored 85 runs.
On November 22, 2013, he was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals along with OF Peter Bourjos in return for 3B David Freese and P Fernando Salas. He was assigned to the Memphis Redbirds to start the 2014 season and hit .310 in 21 games before getting the call to St. Louis in late April. He made his debut on April 28th against the Milwaukee Brewers, taking over in right field in the 9th inning as part of a double switch. Greg Garcia had also made his debut for the Cards in the same game, as a pinch-hitter. The game went into extra innings and Randal went to bat twice, being out on an infield fly against Brandon Kintzler in the bottom of the 9th and striking out against Zach Duke in the 11th before the Brewers won the game, 5-3, in 12 innings; he also played an inning in center field during the game as the Cards made numerous substitutions.

Can Scoliosis be caused by an accident?
Answers: Yes, scoliosis can be caused by an accident. I have scoliosis and my doctor and I have a suspicion that it occurred because of a car accident I had. The mechanics of accident caused scoliosis are the following:
1) Car accident occurs, sudden whip-lash like movement occurs in the neck.
2) The normal neck position is altered, and in the months after, it starts to lean forward (check to see if his neck is not straight when he is standing).
3) This causes the spine to curve to accommodate the neck. (Scoliosis).
This is what happened to me. Accident-caused scoliosis is a little easier to treat than scoliosis developed at birth or adolescence.
Please have him see a specialist immediately. The faster it is spotted the better. The shooting pain down his back is very similar to what I had, so I'm pretty sure he might be developing scoliosis. Good luck.
Scoliosis is a condition you are born with. Most likely a herniated disc is causing the pain. Go to a reputable spine center for treatment. Physical therapy and possibly an epidural injection can help contain the pain. Surgery should be the absolute last action.
What is Scoliosis?
All spines have natural curves. Scoliosis, however, is a progressive, abnormal sideways curvature of the spine. When left untreated, it can cause severe spinal deformity. Usually, it is first detected in childhood or the early teen years while the bones of the spine are still growing.
Because the spine and rib cage are connected, severe scoliosis also affects the position of the ribs, pushing them further apart on the outside of the curve, and closer together on the inside. This causes the spine's "S" curve appearance typical of scoliosis. Pressure from severe spinal distortion can also affect surrounding organs. Health risks from severe spine curvature include neurological problems from pressure on nerves, arthritis, and even lung and heart problems.
Severe scoliosis not only harms the individual's appearance and self-esteem, but it can also compromise one's health and ability to function. The ability to participate in sports or athletic activities is usually limited and difficult. And limited physical activity can lead to a decrease in overall fitness.
What Causes It?
Because scoliosis tends to run in families, doctors believe that hereditary factors may predispose some individuals to this condition. In other cases, it can be caused by spinal abnormalities present at birth.
Often, the body's attempt to adapt to some type of trauma or injury is involved. Even birth trauma or minor childhood injuries, such as falling off a bicycle may trigger this abnormal spinal curvature. Therefore many parents prefer to have their children checked by a chiropractic doctor at birth, and regularly throughout childhood.
Scoliosis usually starts with problems in the lower back. In younger children, such complaints are often dismissed as "growing pains", unfortunately delaying treatment. Scoliosis also can be associated with certain neuromuscular disorders such as polio, cerebral palsy, and muscular dystrophy. While there are many different causes for scoliosis, in 70-80% of cases there is no identifiable cause. Doctors call this "idiopathic" scoliosis.
Scoliosis is more common in females than males by almost 7 to 1. It continues to progress into the early 20's when the bones of the spine are fully mature. And if scoliosis progresses beyond a certain degree of curvature during adolescence, it will continue to become increasingly severe in adulthood. That is why early screening, detection, and treatment can make a big difference.
Children should be examined before age 12 or 13, especially if there is a history of any spinal deformity in your family. They should then be followed closely throughout the teen years to make sure a curve doesn't develop.
Scoliosis is the irregular curvature of the vertebral column, in the lateral plane, i.e.from left to right, accompanied by uneven shoulder height , irregular waistline and lumbar proeminence. It can not be treated by correcting the position of the patient. It can certainly be caused by an accident where heavy trauma caused vertebrae misalignment. It seems to me that your husband was given the right set of examinations in order to determine which damage was done : misalignment, vertebral fracturre, disc slippage and so on in order to determine the right therapy. According to the findings this can include reconstructive (kyphoplastic) surgery . If the symptoms include severe pain due to nerve problems between the vertebrae, it would not be a bad idea to involve a chirapractor. Good luck.
Scoliosis is something you are born with, this is something that happened in the car accident. I hope he feels better soon.
The short answer is yes. What might have happened is either he had an underlying scoliosis to begin with which wasn't detected or he may have developed what is called antalgic scoliosis.
When a person injures their spine, body's natural reaction is to assume a posture which is least painful. So antalgic (away from pain) scoliosis can develop. But these are usually something that can be dealt with easily by attending to the injury. Once pain is gone, it goes away..
However, the doctor wanted to do another MRI, then it's probably an underlying condition he had which wasn't detected before. MRI is done for scoliosis patients usually in order to rule out neuromuscular causes of scoliosis. Doctor may have seen in original x-ray or mri that may have indicated an underlying causes.
You should wait until the MRI findings are in. All we can do on this board is speculation for possibilities which will only stress you out.

After smoking for over 35 years and giving up at least 4 times I decided to give up.
I was in the mindset, I got patches and had my last smoke that night. I used the patches and rang the Quitline for support. Went one week on, then one week off patches and now I'm up to my 4th month smokefree and don't miss it at all.
Good luck to all!

That little gem, along with some other great Ts, buttons, stickers and the like can be found here - courtesy of the fantastic website called The Other 95%. The Other 95 simply fight back against the teabaggers and their outlandish fingers-on-a-chalkboard screams of socialism, death panels, birth certificates and the like. I think I have to get that shirt, as I made under 50k last year but paid almost 30% in state and local taxes. Exxon made 45.2 billion and paid a total of $0 in taxes in 2009. Hard to comprehend? Let's look at that graphically:
taxes paid = $0
At least Exxon is not alone. GE didn't pay any taxes to the US government either. Then again, thru tax breaks they made another $1.1 billion on their bottom line. Well played, GE. Well played indeed.
Thankfully, I pay less than I did a few years ago.

I was going to order a Swiss HF Card for our upcoming trip next month.
But, as it is only for one month would be delivered to my address 3 weeks before our trip to Switzerland.
The problem is, we are traveling to Spain and Italy before Switzerland where we fly back to USA.
How can I go around and order a card if it will get home when I'm already in Europe?
Can I purchase the card in Switzerland or Italy?

As we've been watching closely, something is wrong with the big banks. Their shares have lost 25-33% of their market value since the beginning of the year. What's going on?
The turmoil seems greatest in Europe, where bank shares have fallen the hardest, and negative interest rates have appeared with increasing frequency across member countries.
To make sense of it all, we've invited Steen Jakobsen back on, Chief Investment Officer of Saxo Bank, who can provide an eyes-on-the-ground perspective on the European banking system from his location in Copenhagen:
Clearly what we've seen over the course of the first quarter this year is that the ability of central banks to do their magic in terms of talking to the market with the rhetoric of "low for longer" and the likes is running on empty now.
If we look back in chronological order of what happened this year, first we had, of course, the Fed with Yellen and Fischer backing down slightly from the three to four hikes they promised in December. That was followed very quickly by, of course, Draghi promising to do 'Whatever it takes!' yet again in March this year. Then the BOJ went negative on interest rates and a number of European central banks followed suit. So much so that actually right now if you look at the G7 governments, about 50 percent of all G7 government is now trading at a negative yield, which seems to be the new solution from central banks.
I think the market is seeing right through that because, of course, at the center of all of this at all times will be the banking system, a banking system that is getting penalized for the negative interest rate. Coming from a country which has some experience with negative interest rates, what is really happening to the banking sector here is that, as a depositor, I get paid 0% to have my money in the bank. I should, in reality, be paying 30-, 40-, 50-basis points, but so far I've been cushioned by the banks. That cushion is costing the banks money.
Likewise, that is reason why negative interest rates are not having any bearing in terms of growth. Very dramatically last week I made the headline that, to some extent, in a monetary-policy history perspective, this could be the Berlin Wall coming down because we've had the Greenspan put, then the Bernanke put. But there doesn't exist a Yellen put for a number of reasons. Not because of her, but just because time has run out. So I think that explains the volatility.
The real question for an investor, in my opinion, is to ask yourself: Is this merely the latest "extend and pretend" maneuver, which is about to happen again with Draghi coming full online in March and the BOJ doing another desperate action and the Fed backing down. Or is it the end of the debt cycle? That is the trillion-dollar question right now.

Emergency crews were able to contain a house fire at 208 East 1600 Road, just southwest of Baldwin City, in about a half-hour, said Randy DeMersseman, chief of the Palmyra Township Fire Department.
Crews were called to the house about 6:30 p.m. Tuesday. No one was hurt in the fire, which started in a chimney flue, DeMersseman said. The house sustained between $10,000 and $20,000 worth of damage on the first and second floors, he said.
One cat was missing after the fire, he said.

Bodhi Kids & Family Corner
We all have an extremely special opportunity to support a growing Sangha which includes many families! Incorporating the Dharma into our lives can sometimes be challenging in a Western country where values often seem to be at odds with Buddhist practice.
How might we:
introduce the teachings of the Buddha to our children?
model compassion and kindness within our family?
encourage practice in the context of busy lifestyles filled with distractions?
support the Western Sangha so that Buddhism can flourish
We need your help to raise $3,000 for the Bodhi Kids and Family Corner which will include books for parents, picture books for young children, and readings for teenagers as they explore growing up with Buddhism in the West!
Librarian Susan Sayre sees this as a wonderful cozy nook where families can spend time reading or checking out books. She hopes that the family corner will bring young people into the library, and will support their parents as well. Susan says, "I can't wait to see those little chairs in that corner!"
Our goal is to have the Bodhi Kids and Family Corner ready for the KTD Family Weekend May 18-20 during which Lama Dudjom Dorjee will teach on "Living in Harmony."

Cars that have generally failed commercially and that were often referred to as "stupid" include the Ford Edsel, the Dodge Custom Royal, the Amphicar, the Yugo and the Pontiac Aztek. The Custom Royal and the Amphicar both had innovative features that were poorly thought-out and impractical, while the Aztek has the distinction of being widely considered one of the ugliest cars ever made.Continue Reading
The Dodge Custom Royal was widely considered stupid by automotive buyers when it debuted in 1956 because of its miniature custom record turntable in the dashboard. While the turntable was arguably a good idea in hindsight given the proliferation of cassette decks and compact disks in car stereos in later decades, the implementation of the Dodge Custom Royal left much to be desired. The unusual size of the turntable meant it could only play custom-sized records made by Dodge, and the quality of the playback was extremely poor as the record tended to skip on every bump or dip in the road.
The Amphicar was a German vehicle introduced in 1961 that had the limited ability to operate as a boat as well as a car. However, the vehicle's top water speed of 7 mph did not endear it to potential buyers. The Amphicar was also prone to leaking during transit, leading one commentator to posit that it would "revolutionize drowning" rather than revolutionizing transportation, as the designer hoped.Learn more about Car Makes & Models

I meant to post these thoughts during the December blog carnival on Transistion and Transformation but the idea struck me a little too late at the end of the month and it took a much longer time to organize my thoughts. However, I have decided to post this as a series of exploration into what RPGs can transcend into in the future if we take them and headed towards a certain direction.
Being a current graduate student and having to read various sorts of journals, my mind finds itself seeped into theories and bombastic words. While it can be a main cause of suffering and frustration at times but there also also times when you do find something that you do understand and it increases your knowledge and outlook on a particular field.
This happens to me when I'm reading RPG blogs and forums that occasionally produces such gems about RPGs, theories and gaming in general. So at times like these, the gamer in me sometimes asks the question, 'What if...'
What if learning to play and design RPGs can be learn from schools and tertiary education institutions? What would a RPG course look like? Are there any benefits of learning RPG theories in society and the workforce? What are the skills that needs to be accquired in order to be a qualified RPG player/designer?
Before we can answer these questions, let's start with one question first.
Will RPGs ever be an academic subject?
I certainly think so. RPGs can be a very complicated subject if you break it down over the course of its 30 years history and there are so many areas that can even be a study on its own. This is what I think an academic RPG course would have.
Theater lessons would play a major role in bringing out the best of our roleplaying skills. Not only would theatric lessons be invaluable in teaching us how to express our characters appropriate to the setting or era of the game like speech, thought and behavior but also give us some thoughts on how we want to develop our character's background and motives over the course of the game.
Roleplaying on stage is different than roleplaying in front of the GM screen. In theater, we have an audience but in RPGs, good roleplaying is a component of good gaming (and the only real audience are your fellow players and GM).
What makes RPG theater skills more interesting than normal theater skills is that our choice of actions is justified or confined by a RPG ruleset which might call for more improvisation as a result of a die roll than a predetermined and prewritten script.
Just look at LARPing.
Although I would say that literature as a whole does contribute to a roleplaying game but I would like to see a specific set of so called 'RPG literature'. These are the works that have a major influence or effect on game design and narrative structure.
An example would be like reading all of H.P Lovecraft's works to get a better understanding of how it was adapted into the form of a RPG in Call of Cthulu.
Then there is also the question of why Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series or George R. R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire were made into a RPG from their work while Raymond E. Feist's Riftwar series was made from a RPG.
How Jack Vance's Dying Earth series was taken to form the basis of the Vancian spellcasting system in the early editions of D&D which could subsequently lead to the study of why it was replaced in the 4th edition
A theoretical question could be how literature authenticity does not lead to good or fun game design.
Of course, a RPG literature class would not be complete with the most dreaded study and debate of R.A Salvatore's Drizzt Do' Urden and whether it had a major influence on RPGs or the other way round and the discrepancy between his game stats and his abilities in the novels from a RPG prespective.
One differentiating aspect between ordinary literature and RPG literature could be the discussion of narrative control of authors and GMs. Normal literature authors didn't have to share with their readers normally but this works very differently on the gaming table. GMs have to concerned about railroading and sharing that control with his players.
GMs could learn a thing or two about themes, genres and literature techniques in writing and pacing their encounters in an adventure.
A major proponent of RPG literature would say that narrative power should trump over game stats and they would most likely argue which of the White Wolf RPGs is the best.
The complexity of RPG does stir the mind into a different mindset of behavior. It would be interesting to study the psychology of different players types and how they are represented through their characters in a RPG. There could be fundamental theories such as identity that could well explain why a player type plays the game in a certain way.
There are so many areas and questions in RPGs that would probably be better understood through psychology.
The psychology of escapism that allows one person to assume a character role and step into a imaginary environment and it's effect on the human mind. The gap between the game and the metagame which draws attention to what is happening in game and in person.
The attitude of munchkinism and Min/maxing.
How does the human mind perceive in-game and out-of-game rewards, so on and so forth.
I think it would be very interesting to see further studies into these areas and possibly the development of fundamental psychological theories that will inform a GM or game designer's decision in their sessions or games.
Mathematics & Science
RPG most certainly has a specific set of RPG maths and science of their own. It is game that has a very solid foundation in probability (as a side note, I was able to ace that particular aspect of maths because I was a roleplayer at that time) and there is a great amount of number crunching involved in some RPGs (like D&D, GURPS).
We have already seen how complicated and complex Game Science can be and looking back at the 1st edition of the DMG (pg. 9), I was surprised to read about the Bell-Curve of the 3D6. There is most certainly an avenue that can be explored further with more detailed calculations about how numbers work in RPGs.
A class of RPG maths could also explore into how to make a balanced game system through development. Whether a certain amount of modifier should stack with another and how does it affect character development in terms of power gained over the course of a level range. How to create a complicated point-buy system that can be easily explained and translated into RPGs or are there any other mathematical alternatives to conflict resolution other than dices (Dread).
If this is taken one step further and we could end up calling it RPG Engineering.
Although RPGs are becoming the subject of social studies nowadays but there are so many other humanitarian studies that could be part of the curiculum of a RPG course. Instead of learning about patterns for a better understanding of the human race and our surroundings, these are used for consistent and creative world-building classes in the RPG course.
We learn the history of a certain era which allows us to better replicate a setting of that particular era. We learn geography to better understand terrain and how it can affect combat or adventures in the wilderness. Geology for dungeon or underground adventures. Astronomy for the cosmology, theology for the gods and anthropology for creating cultures.
Economics could be used to explain why we can put a price tag on magic items and how inflation can be simulated in RPG setting while political science would motivate the prime movers of a setting where the players are currently playing in.
All these real life subjects become the tools to inform our imaginations.
Overall, RPGs and RPG-related studies can be a very diverse and complex subject yet it could also make a very well-rounded set of learning in various areas of academic excellence.
A RPG graduate would be equipped with the skills and knowledge to pursue a large number of careers. Most obvious ones would be game designers and developers in the RPG industry. However, they could also choose to conduct research in areas such as mathematics or social sciences for the more academic inclined.
They are at least trained actors or they could be playwrights or writers in the entertainment business. They might be able to handle a management job if they take what they learn from managing a gaming group or become communicators with their skills in narrating and other social aspects of the game.
There seems to be a growing interest in RPGs for serious academic studies between scholars with the recent appearance of the International Journal of Role Playing and The Play Generated Map and Document Archive and gamers alike (e.g., Whitehall ParaIndustries & Mad Brew Labs) which I believe has a lot more potential of expanding in so many different directions that it can be take RPG as a serious and legitimate field of study than just a game.
So I have a vision that one day universities will be offering courses in RPG Design and our kids will be graduating with a Bachelor of Arts & Science in RPG Theory. While I'm going for my Masters in RPG Gamemastering.
As a final note, I would like to disclaim that I'm not a standing expert in the various fields above so some of them might sound ridiculous.
What do you think? Can RPGs be an academic subject?

The 2013 Annual Assembly of the Archdiocese of Washington D.C. was held at St. Matthew Orthodox Church in Columbia MD. We are grateful to Fr. Constantine White, Dn. Sergius Miller and the parishioners of St. Matthew for their wonderful hospitality – and great food ;) -- in hosting the Assembly and the Clergy Retreat on the preceding day. The day was made even more special since this was the Feast of St. Matthew, the patronal feast day of the parish.
The day began with a Divine Liturgy with Fr. Gregory Safchuk, Fr. Daniel Hubiak and Fr. John Vitko concelebrating and was followed by a wonderful brunch. Unfortunately, His Beatitude was not able to attend because of his pneumonia, but asked that the Assembly proceed as scheduled and that our Chancellor, Fr. Gregory, lead the Assembly. The full minutes of the Assembly will be issued at a later time, but some of the major items for the Assembly include:
- The retirement of Fr. Gregory Safchuk as chancellor of the Archdiocese. Our gratitude to him for his many years of excellent services. May God grant him many years!
- The appointment of Fr. John Vitko as the new chancellor of the Archdiocese.
- The approval of the 2014 budget and assessments
- The creation of a Diocesan Benefactors Fund to provide a vehicle for individuals to voluntarily contribute to support additional activities (e.g. seminaries, missions, outreach)
- The resumption of the Archdiocesan publication, Kathedra, to be published quarterly via the Archdiocesan Website
- The election of Fr. John Vitko as clergy delegate to the Metropolitan Council and of Fr. Dennis Buck as alternate clergy delegate to the Metropolitan Council.
- The election of Matthew Matyuf as a lay member of the Auditing Committee.
The day concluded with Great Vespers.

I don’t know about you but I find that one of the perils of crafting is become addicted to different products. At the moment, stamps are my thing and one of my favourites is the recently discovered Rubber Moon. Aside from the fabulous designs they have had the foresight to offer their stamps as either unmounted, cling or mounted on wood blocks. This is a bonus for those of us that live on the opposite side of the pond as it cuts down on postage. I also love it that orders are quick to make it across the water. As luck would have it, my latest order arrived yesterday which just so happened to be my birthday! I have also joined the Moon Mail club which sends you an exclusive stamp each month and sometimes some bonus goodies too. This month there was a little package of some new sized art pieces by Inchie Arts. These are 2″ x 4″ – so the equivalent of two twinchies side by side. I have had a ton of fun playing with these so thought I would share the results with with you today.
As you can see, the Inchie Arts pieces take ink beautifully! I smooched on a rainbow of Distress inks and then spritzed with water.The stamp is Grow your own Wishes and the words are one of Paperartsy’s Eclectica sets by Emma Godfrey.
I used more distress inks and water spritzing for the background and then added the border. I stamped the moon and then used Grow your own Wishes again, masking off all but three of the stars with post-its. I stamped a second moon, coloured it with polychromos and paper pieced it over the original image.
I’ve used stamping and paper piecing to create this little garden scene. The plant like stamp is the July Moon Mail Club exclusive. Isn’t that little gnome adorable? I’ve also used Curvy Branch and Little Luna.
Now these have become sooo addictive that I actually turned over the last one and used the reverse to create this:
I used a little rose stamp all over and the coloured in the flowers with Promarkers. For the background I painted on some Mermaid Lagoon distress ink using a water brush. Finally, I added some white highlights.
Now I mentioned that yesterday was my birthday. I had a lovely, but quiet, day and was spoiled by Mr Beez and my sons. I was lucky enough to receive not one but three cake boxes from my favourite bakery – Betty’s.
One was a little iced fruit cake, one was my favourite, macaroons and just take a look what was inside the third:
Chocolate truffle cake bees!!!! How perfect are they?
Thanks for buzzing by.

As most of you know from previous posts, my wife and I went to a few of the countries that used to be part of Yugoslavia. I’ll be writing several posts roughly reflecting the chronology of our trip. The posts in this series, in keeping with the blogs theme, will be primarily about the food we enjoyed (or not) but I’ll be sprinkling in tidbits about the places and things we saw and, of course, anything that begged for smart-ass commentary.
We started out in Sarajevo (my wife, Joan, thinks I have an unhealthy attraction to war zones, past and present) spending 3 nights there. We stayed at a little place called Pansion Stari Grad that is right in the Old Town. This is not surprising since “stari grad” means “old town”. It was only 50 Euros/night including European breakfast which was pretty decent with hard boiled eggs, toast, jam, cheese and, my favourite, little packages of stinky pate (no, not a head…I just don’t know how to make an accented e on here) the smell of which, unfortunately, made my wife somewhat nauseous. The staff was really friendly and all spoke English. Don’t ya hate it when you go to a foreign country and they don’t have the courtesy to speak your language?
Money….It’s a Drag
You’d think after all they’ve been through in the recent past, Sarajevans would be an adaptable lot. The fact is, however, that they do not handle change well. That is to say, no matter what you are buying and what bill or coinage you are paying with, the vendor will be unable to make change. Buy two gelatos for 1 Convertible Mark (BAM)each, hand over a 5 BAM coin and the whole transaction teeters on the edge of collapse unless you or your wife can come up with exact change. I tried to pay and 8 BAM coffee/beer bill with a 50 BAM note. The waiter went to the goddamn currency exchange place next door and even they couldn’t change it. What the hell? My wife couldn’t buy a 15 BAM purse with a twenty. This happened over and over again. These guys are selling stuff all bloody day…where do they put the money the take in? We found ourselves constantly trying to hoard our coinage and small bills just so we’d be able to buy something. We even started making multiple withdrawals from the bank machine (eg. one withdrawal of 20 and one of 30) so we wouldn’t end up with a fifty BAM note.
Now, many of you are probably wondering “how much is a BAM worth?. Well, this is where the genius of the Bosnian government really shines through. You see, unlike many currencies which change value independently, the BAM is tied to a specific, static value relative to the Euro. This value is the very convenient and easy to calculate 1.95 BAM:1 Euro. Yeah, pegging it at 2:1 would have been fucking stupid.
Fast Food – Bosnian Style
The old town is awash with two types of restaurants: Cevabdzinica and Buregdzinica. They serve two traditional Bosnian dishes, Cevap and Burek. Cevap is a grilled minced meat dish usually served with a large flat bun. Burek is a type of meat pie in which puff pastry is rolled around meat into a long log shape then laid in a spiral in a cast iron, lidded dish and cooked over coals and served with sour cream. I loved the burek.
Unfortunately, old town doesn’t offer much of anything else beyond Burek and Cevap except for the ubiquitous pizza which became a bit of a fallback dinner for us throughout the trip as I’ll document in a later pizza post. Sure there are a few other restaurants but the menus are almost all the same and, often, the non-Burek, non-Cevap meals we ordered were not available.
While the Bosnian cuisine wasn’t extremely varied, two things it had going for it were giant portions and meat-centricity. Joan had a perfectly breaded and grilled chicken breast while I had the stuff at right. This meat dish, called god knows what, was carnivorilicious. Basically it was spiced hamburger with an egg on top served with a massive flatbread. The care the chef took to avoid even the hint of vegetables in this meal is eye-watering.
It’s Brewery, Stupid
Being a bit of a beer fanatic, I convinced my non-beer drinking love that we must visit the Sarajevska Pivara (brewery). I insisted it was purely an educational visit to see this historic site. During the Siege of Sarajevo, there were only two manufacturing facilities that operated continuously through those horrific 46 months, the brewery and the cigarette factory.
The interior of the bar was incredibly ornate with dark woods and giant beams. I had an excellent beer while Joan had the house wine which did not make her gag. She’d been served Croatian wine everywhere else and it had been hideous so this was a nice surprise although even the most unsophisticated sommelier would consider “not gagging” as faint praise indeed.
I was well into my second or third large ale when I had the brilliant idea that we should have dinner there. After all, they had a pretty extensive, non-burek/cevap menu and looked pretty fancy so how bad could it be? Answer: Pretty bad. Well, I don’t go to a ball game expecting quality beer so why did I go to a brewery expecting quality cuisine? Answer: Because they had beer (same reason I’d go to a ball game, actually).
We started with appetizers. Joan had a gigantic mound of not-very-good seafood risotto while I had something that I didn’t write down and don’t remember…along with a beer. For our mains, I had some adequate fried squid with incredibly bland, poorly cooked potatoes. Joan had something that we chose to pronounce “Chicken Frisbees” which she thought may be similar to the wonderful chicken breast she had the day before. The name should have warned her off. They were indeed bits of breaded chicken shaped like miniature Frisbees. Yes, they were goddamn chicken nuggets.
Even if some of Joan’s meal bordered on inedible, there was really no chance she was going to starve. They brought us enough bread to feed scores. We’re pretty sure the bread is getting recycled between tables. No sane person would bring this much bread for two people. Maybe, on his way to the table with rational amount of bread, the waiter began channeling Jesus as he replayed his greatest hits. I don’t know…but I’m glad I didn’t order the fishes.
Park Princeva – Where the Glitterati Hang Out (when we’re not there)
On our last evening in Sarajevo we went up to the Park Princeva Restaurant. It’s high on the mountain overlooking the city. Apparently, this is where Bono and other famous people (probably that damn Richard Gere, whom I will deride in a future post) hang out. Of course, we were all atwitter imagining the celebs we would see…which turned out to be two rather quite businessmen at one table and a loud, chain smoking American guy with a bored, chain smoking European guy whose communicated “Ugh, you Americans are so gauche” with every dismissive, smoke-trailing wave of his hand. The view, despite the rain and clouds (both the meteorological and carcinogenic kinds), was awesome.
The food was pretty damn good. The most awesome thing were the donuts we had for an appetizer. That’s right, we had donuts before our meal. They were only slightly less sweet than regular donuts and reminded me of Tim Horton’s filled donuts without the filling. They were served with two types of cheese, feta and a thick sort of sour creamy kind. We ate lots such that our main courses (veal and a fancy pants cevap) were sort of anti-climatic and unwanted when they arrived.
Bosnian cuisine isn’t too varied but it’s generally pretty good, especially if you like grilled meat and don’t eat at breweries.
“Donuts. Is there anything they can’t do?” – Homer J. Simpson

|Pu Erh Tea in the "Tuocha shape"|
We were in Chinatown for lunch at Phnom Penh (I recommend the Garlic Chicken Wings!) and I walked into a lovely tea shop near Ming Wo. The shop, Jane's Longevity Tea and Arts (41 East Pender Street) had traditional Chinese tea supplies...specialty tea cups and pots, formal tea sets and specialty teas from China. They also served free samples of tea in a ceremony very similar to though very different from a Japanese tea ceremony. I was looking for something to relieve my recent strange asthmatic symptoms. I have a persistent dry cough and my voice is strained from the constant hacking. I even popped a ligment behind my ribcage from coughing so hard a couple of days ago.
I spoke with a man who said he was just "watching the store" because the shop owner had stepped out. He told me his father was a famous TCM doctor in China and he seemed to know a thing or two about teas and TCM. I told him of my symptoms related to asthma and he said he also had asthma as a child but does not have symptoms now. I learned that my lifelong consumption and preference for green tea might be contributing to some of my symptoms.
Apparently, green tea is higher in caffeine than Pu-Erh tea and is also very cooling. See health benefits of Pu Erh tea HERE. It's cholesterol lowering, detoxifying and can help with fat loss. Because I have recently developed asthmatic symptoms (I didn't have asthma as a child)...mainly a persistent dry cough, I am not helping my symptoms by drinking so much green tea. I usually drink from 1 to 4 cups of green tea in a day.
|Pu Erh Tea from Yunnan province, China.|
He advised me to try Pu-Erh (or Bo Lai...Cantonese pronunciation) which is a sort of fermented tea from Yunnan province in China. The tea leaves are dark and produce a red or dark tea. The one I purchased was not expensive though like fine wine, if you want to, you can pay hundreds of dollars for a Pu Erh brick that is priced by its age and region. Some bricks can be decades old.
I paid $15Cdn for my pressed tea ball, which is sort of cute. It is the size of a baseball cut in half. There is a depression that I imagine is part of the pressing and molding process. The tea guy told me you take a small knife and use it to pry the tea ball and break off small pieces to use.
Apparently, though Pu Erh is a dark tea, people mistake it for black tea but it isn't. He told me that it is a very special tea that wealthy people drink because it can be very expensive; it's good for your health too. The density of a brick can indicate how well it can age. The tighter the packing, the slower it will age. The more surface area, the faster the tea will age.
The shape of my teaball is called Tuocha bowl, or nest.
When I took a small paring knife to it, I was surprised by the hardness of the teaball. It was extremely hard and difficult to break into. I broke off a tiny chunk less than a teaspoon to make my cup of tea. You steep the leaves in hot water for a few minutes and drink. It's kind of hot outside and I wanted to drink it right away so I poured my freshly brewed tea over ice in my double-walled Bodum cup.
The tea was smooth and delicious. It was nothing like the Bo Lei/Pu Erh tea you get at dim sum with your meal. It was not bitter or astringent (like some I've tasted at restaurants) but almost sweet and I hear that the quality of the tea, like fine wine can fetch hundreds of thousands of dollars as quality aged tea is rare. The Pu Erh bricks have the region, year and production information on its paper wrapping. Also, like fine wine, you have to watch how you store it and many variable affect its taste. If you want to read some history about Pu Erh tea, I found this link helpful. About an hour after my first cup of the Pu Erh tea I could not believe it. The constant tightness in my throat was eased. I will be drinking this tea from now on as it seems to suit my constitution. I used to think green tea was the be-all and end-all but I guess the tea guy was right. Sometimes you need to match the foods you eat with your body type. He also advised me to limit my consumption of seafood and bitter melon (which is not a problem as I dislike bitter melon).
I am so pleased to have some free TCM advice from this man. I told him my kids were plagued with nosebleeds; up to 3 or 4 a week. He recommended once a week to boil this detoxing tea for 5 minutes and have them drink it. Because of its medicinal flavour from the goji, I asked if I could add sweetener and he said maple syrup or honey would be okay.
I'll let you know how the detox tea works.

CorvetteImages.com was founded as a campanion site to
as an after-thought than really having any preconceived purpose.
One day a few of us were discussing what to do with
over 600 megs of Corvette pictures we have archived from our classified
ads system. It seemed like a shame to just discard them, especially since
we had them cross referenced to year, body style, color and special edition.
Such an archive, we reasoned, may become a resource
for restorers. If you have visited VetteFinders.com recently you may know
that we are in the process of restoring
a 1979 Coupe. As the discussions turned to what the interior and exterior
color the Coupe should become, we began looking through ad photos to help
us decide what the new color combination should be.
The bottom line though is that Corvettes are beautiful
cars...museum pieces on wheels. And when you've got over 8,000 pictures
of them, you put them out there for others to view.
So we decided to share our Corvette pictures with you.

Show Dates: 5 & 6 June 2018
This June, The Food & Gift Show is preparing to open its doors to welcome all independent buyers from across the UK who are keen to experience the one-of-a-kind environment of this buyer-focused show.
The show will be hosted by leading independent buying group, Associated Independent Stores (AIS) and is designed specifically for independent retailers. Having cemented its place as an eagerly anticipated show by AIS members for a number of years, in June the group will also be extending their invite out to independent retailers that aren’t group members, giving the wider industry an opportunity to also realise the benefits.
This year’s Food & Gift Show will take place at AIS’s own purpose-built exhibition centre, Cranmore Park in Solihull, on 5th and 6th June, with the final day, Wednesday 6th June, being open to the rest of the trade.
The show will offer buyers everything they need to complete their Autumn, Winter and festive food and gift buying, all under one roof. Across an extended ground floor showroom, covering 2445 sq m, this really is a one-stop-shop for the Christmas food and gift buying season, with exhibitors featuring ranges across categories such as Gift Food, Home Fragrance, Cards & Wrap, Confectionary and Speciality Drinks.
In such a buoyant and expanding market, the show will bring together an exciting and meaningful exhibitor selection, relevant to the business of all independents from department stores to garden centres through to standalone gift shops. Show organiser Rachel Breen who has operated as a buyer within the Homeware and Gift sector for over 15 years, explains;
“This show is unique in that it is designed specifically and exclusively for independent retailers. The Food & Gift Show is organised by buyers with experience in the independent sector and this perspective creates a unique buyer focused approach. We have been visiting trade shows as buyers for years so it is easy to identify how we like to structure our own show. High on our priority list is making the show a stress-free experience for visitors and creating a fun, friendly and relaxed environment for both buyers and exhibitors. We know that our exhibition facility, Cranmore Park, is easy to find and years of shuttle bus experience has taught us how important it is that visitors can park right outside the front door! We also want to lessen the expense for buyers visiting the show and the most obvious solution to that is to make everything free – so parking, admission, refreshments and even lunch is free for everyone!
“We are anticipating that over 70 exhibitors, giving access to 100’s of brands. Buyers in attendance can expect to see gift-food and confectionary names such as Charbonnel et Walker, House of Dorchester, Cottage Delight, Maxim’s De Paris, The Snaffling Pig Company, Cartwright & Butler, Mrs Bridges and Stewarts. There will be some exciting ranges from speciality drinks brands such as Skinny Prosecco and 6 O’Clock Gin. You will also see some excellent new homeware product at the show from key brands such as Wax Lyrical and Portmeirion. A number of exhibitors will also offer bespoke personalised ranges, tailor made for the independent market as well as tasting sessions for buyers to enjoy.
“We’re also delighted to offer some new exciting initiatives to keep the show fresh and current. In addition to the great mix of ranges you’ll see, we’re offering visitors visual and display concepts during the event. We all know the importance of finishing touches and how they can bring a store display alive whilst also providing some great add-on sales for retailers. Furthermore there will be some seminars open to all buyers to learn more about the market to enable them to make more informed buying decisions.”
The Food & Gift Show is well-placed for several transport links and can be found just off the M42, within a few minutes of Birmingham International rail and air links and the NEC.
AIS Members’ only show admittance is on 5th June. The show will then be open to ALL trade on 6th June. Admission to the show is free but reserved for independent retailers only. Parking, lunch and refreshments are complimentary to all independent buyers and exhibitors.

Style is evident in every area of fashion, so on style tips today is the sports edition, be chic, be sportive be stylish.
Checkout out the lovely style creations for that sportive fab look
Are you going cycling? whether you’re spinning at the gym or the open road, you will want your accessories to be barely there but statement-making. Hence a bandanna is the perfect on-the-go piece to add to your workout wear, keeping you cool but covered. Plus, the skull print adds interest to this casual, unexpected style.
If you think life is a sprint or a marathon, the right gear can help you get going. A supportive bra and an aerating top, both with racerbacks, lets your arms pump freely, while a neon hue (\Coming through) clears your oath to the finish line.
For a blazing yellow mini skirt, a bright piece is needed to balance out the hue, so when worn together the two will strategically dazzle the competition. As for an easy-to-throw on(and stay on!) style choice, a full-coverage hat is best.
If you are lucky, you will find high function and cool fashion combined in one garment. Consider the suit above: The material is sleek and durable; the silhouette high-cut and dynamic; and the pattern, simply fierce. Just add water-and bold stripes for a beachy vibe.

A father has been sentenced to life in prison for selling his three daughters to a child pornographer, who repeatedly raped them and photographed the attacks.
The 63-year-old Tennessee man was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Greeneville Monday. His 41-year-old wife was sentenced in February to 18 years in federal prison after helping prosecutors build a case against her husband and pleading guilty to producing child pornography, The Associated Press reported.
InsideEdition.com is not naming the parents to protect the privacy of the girls, who were 12, 14 and 16 at the time of the abuse, authorities said.
The couple was indicted in 2013 on charges of production of child pornography, production of child pornography by a parent, coercion, enticement of a minor and the selling of a child by parents.
A fourth daughter, age 5 at the time, was a victim of neglect, but was not sold along with her sisters, prosecutors said.
The three older girls were abused for nearly two years, beginning in February 2011, authorities said.
During that time, prosecutors said, the children were raped as many as 60 times and some 400 images were made of the sexual abuse.
The case was filed in federal court because the pornography was distributed across state lines.
The girls were placed in state custody after the indictments were issued.
"Words cannot adequately describe the seriousness of the offense," said Assistant U.S. Attorney Helen Smith, who called the case the most horrific she has seen in 30 years on the job.
Prosecutors said the father deserved a life sentence because of his "complete unwillingness to accept responsibility for his conduct... and his history of neglect and abuse of his children."

Roger Williams (1603–1683)
Roger Williams has been credited with founding the first or second Baptist church in America. In 1652, Williams concluded that ministers of the gospel are to serve freely and be supported freely, “and that not in stinted Wages, Tithes, Stipends, Sallaries, &c. but with larger or lesser supplies, as the Hand of the Lord was more or lesse extended in his weekly blessings on them.”
Roger Williams, The Complete Writings of Roger Williams, 7 vols. (New York: Russell & Russell, 1963), 7:165.
John Milton (1659)
Milton wrote forcibly against tithes, which he considered ceremonial and abolished.

- what's that? asked Underground Man, as he came across the dead, spiky banksia leaf in our bed (our bed in a rented holiday cottage in Blackheath, which turned out not to be as good as the reviews on the cottages' own website (well, der!) made out. For a start, the unappealing-looking kitchen smelt odd, and its only window opened onto a very dodgy 'sunroom' extension at the back, so no fresh air. At the back of the kitchen a door led to a decrepit, mouldy laundry. To be fair, the washer and dryer looked decent enough, from my fleeting glimpse of them, but who would dare enter?
- It's my bookmark, I said, retrieving the banksia leaf. I had jauntily thrown Stevie Smith's novel The Holiday into the top of my basket as I went away on holiday, and began reading it the first afternoon, lying on a tarpaulin on the ground at Mayall Lakes, where we camped the first night. Hence the banksia leaf bookmark, which I'll keep as a memento. It will forever belong to Stevie Smith.
And then when we arrived home, UG man was thinking of reading Kangaroo, by DHL, and flicking through found an old bookmark (see above, next to the iconically Australian banksia leaf). This one opens up to reveal that it is from a book chain called Van Gelderen, in Amsterdam, Holland, and I'd guess that it's at least 30 years old, if not more.
He didn't read Kangaroo, choosing instead to read An Autobiographical Novel, by the American poet Kenneth Rexroth, and the bookmark ended up marking his place in that. This is a book I'd just brought home from Wentworth Falls, in the Blue Mountains, from a rather wonderful second-hand bookshop. (We stayed at another cottage there first, which was indeed all it was cracked up to be, a lovely clean, sunny, well-furnished late 1950s place with a beautiful garden. Crabapple Cottage. Do go there, and it's 'dog-friendly'. We stayed with our son and his partner and their two large dogs.)
And so bookmarks move from book to book. I especially like bookmarks that were never intended for that use. I have variously used bus tickets, airline boarding passes, the little brown pleated paper cups from chocolates, flattened out (and you can smell the chocolate on them for a long time afterwards), the paper strips surrounding a certain type of soap I buy from our heath-food shop (ditto for the smell), post-it notes, corners torn from newspapers, and the wrappers from 'feminine hygiene' products.
In used books I have bought, I've found among other things a Tokyo subway ticket (fittingly in a book by Haruki Murakami, in English but priced in yen), a business card for a Paris atelier, and what was once a perfume-sample impregnated piece of card, now with only a musty smell, in an ancient, falling-apart copy of Simone de Beauvoir's Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter. I don't know where any of these have ended up - in one of our books, somewhere, or lost. Bookmarks are ephemera, to be used, discarded or left behind, or kept for their associations and memories. They remind me of the vast networks of readers, sharing books, recommending them (or not), discarding them, handing them on.
They remind me that reading a book is more than about just the book. They are about where you read them, what you were doing, and how you were feeling. And so books enter your life and become part of it.

(2) Other waste. Other disposable items (such as saliva ejectors, aspirator
tips, mouth props, rubber dams, gloves, and masks) may be disposed of in general
(3) Cautions. Containers must be closed when moved and placed in a
second container if leakage is a possibility.
d. Placement of Containers. Regulated waste containers with red bags or
biohazard labels (meaning biological hazard) must be situated in each operatory/work
area. In open bay clinics, one per bay is sufficient. In isolated operatories, one per
operatory is required.
Section II. DISINFECTION
2-16. STERILIZATION AND DISINFECTION OF DENTAL TREATMENT ROOM
The design, size, and construction of some dental equipment complicate
disinfection and sterilization. Although it would be ideal for all instruments and
equipment to be sterilized, this is impossible. The dental specialist should have a clear
understanding of effective agents and techniques used to disinfect items that cannot be
heat sterilized. At one time, immersion "cold sterilization" with chemicals was widely
used in dentistry. Today, DENTACs rarely use chemical sterilants as an alternative for
the preferred heat sterilization.
2-17. WATER LINES
Organisms growing in the dental unit water lines can be a source of cross
contamination between patients. To reduce this possibility, flush water through the
drinking water dispenser, air/water syringe, and high-speed handpiece for 3 to 5
minutes at the beginning of each day. In addition, flush the water lines for at least 15
seconds between patients.
2-18. USE OF CHEMICAL AGENTS FOR DISINFECTION
Dental operatory equipment and surroundings are frequently exposed to spray,
splatter, and contaminated gloves during patient treatment. It is impossible to sterilize
these areas, but chemical disinfection is a practical alternative. Room temperature
chemical agents can be used to disinfect certain items when sterilization is not
recommended (such as with safety glasses). Anything that can be sterilized should be
sterilized. Disinfection is impossible to verify; therefore, it is extremely important to be
thorough. There is no perfect or ideal disinfectant at this time. Disinfection is effective
for its limited purpose, but is not a substitute for sterilization.

I was looking at blogs, from one to another one, to another one. It all started with http://stitchinbythelake.blogspot.com/ post to my blog. I just kept reading and I forgot why I got online, to post my purse picture. I'm lucky I got it complete due to electricity going out today for about 5 hours and I'm in Texas. It was hoooooootttttt and I sure wasn't going to sit at my treadle machine to make it. Well here it is and I wish I wouldn't have put the frayed red material on the handle, I might take that off and just paint it. The purse is really simple to make and Stitchin By the Lake has one she has made. It's a cutie. I'm posting two purses. I finished the other one I'm putting online.
This one would be great for the friend that has everything-Cottage Beach Theme.
These girls are best friends.

Blustery conditions met the competitors yesterday evening when they assembled at the start line of the Rondebosch Common Spectacular. There was an air of tension amid the competitors prior to the start, each sizing up the other readying themselves to do battle on the 5km course ahead. A 100 strong field took to the start line and the gun went off and it was on!!
Chukka Charts strode out to the front with Kenyan like simplicity and looked as if he was in a defiant mood. He was followed closely by the bunch who kept him in their sights. He led at the 1km mark posting a 3:50 first km. It was then he turned down the hospital mile and powered through the biting gale with Great Dayne tucked in just behind and Elley, Donkey and Beef Jordaan grouped in a couple of lengths back. It was clear that the wind and the brisk start was beginning to take its toll on the Irish folk singer and he began to tire towards the end of Hospital Mile. Great Dayne took over the front running momentarily around the 2km mark, but Elley made a decisive move just after the 2km marker, the years and injuries seeming to melt away with every step. He opened up a 20s lead at the half way mark going through at 9:42.
Travelling support in the form of the Scotsman arrived, despatching drinks to the competitors and offering wise words of encouragement as a few of the competitors started to tire. Elley had kept his lead along the Rustenburg side and hit hospital mile for the last time with his 20s lead still intact and looking in fine form to take the Common Spectacular (as it was renamed) for the second time in a row. Chasing him were the Great Dayne, a few lengths further back were Beefy and Chukka who had now fallen well off the pace with that uncharacteristic schoolboy error in the first km, with Donkey a few paces further back.
But road running is a funny old sport, just when Elley looked to have it all but sewn up, he began to show signs of fatigue, as Hospital Mile began to take its toll. This left the door open for Allenbrook who was now gaining ground on Elley with the help of his Ethiopian pacemaker, Elias.
By the time they rounded the corner and headed into the final straight, Elley and Allenbrook were neck and neck. It would all be down to the last 300m with the Scotsman providing a full running commentary from the safety of his bike. Allenbrook was the first to break 250m out, he strode out hoping Elley would lose touch, but this was to no avail as Elley remained in tow and the move was squashed. Elley then made the decisive break 150m from home and it was one that was not followed by a shattered Allenbrook. He sprinted away to claim his second victory in a row in a winning time of 20:02, beating Allenbrook into 2nd by 10s.
The Results were as follows:
1) Jason Elley 20:02
2) Dayne Allenbrook 20:12
3) Michael Charton 21:30
4) Bernaard Jordaan 21:35
5) Graham Barrett 22:30
It must be mentioned that Neil Quayle was nowhere to be seen. After all the media hype and big talking, the veteran of 26 comrades marathons and 32 2oceans Marathons was a notable absence in the strong field. In his press conference he gave a Shabir Shaik'esque performance and revealed that his health had deteriorated to such an extent that he was unable to get any revolutions on the ball in the nets. "I cant even get Gio Colussi out" were his words. He even went on to hint that it was affecting his performance in the bedroom, but these rumours are as of yet unconfirmed.
All the competitors were irate at the fact that Quayle had pulled out and many were calling for a life ban calling his behaviour "disgraceful" and "uncouth". The Nadoes Running Association have the matter under review and a decision is expected later in the week. Tom Dawson-Squibb was also not in attendance which was a pity because many were looking forward to the battle between him and Barrett. The recently engaged, stick like father of 2 was unavailable for comment on his non-arrival.

"Bridging the South Atlantic" the anniversary envelope states, with a profile of Christ the Redeemer atop its verdant Carioca hill, and the two continents outlined in white. The route line shown is surely wrong, however: antipodean flight paths bend toward the South Pole, not the North.
Few specifications about the flight are provided, as this is not marking an inaugural service (or, for that matter, even a round-number anniversary). The cancellation stamp suggests that a widebody twinjet was employed-- the A300 was the only such aircraft in the SAA/SAL fleet in 1990.
Today, SAA still serves Brazil, but now breezes past Rio to land at Sao Paulo.

Location of Sighting: Mid Powys: looking south-west from A44 between Llanfihangel Nant Melan and Llandegley, at the Radnor Forest bends
Date of Sighting: 20 Jan 2011
Witness Name: Lis D
Witness Statement: This evening 20 January 2011, just before 11pm, driving on A44 between Llanfihangel Nant Melan and Llandegley, at the Radnor Forest bends, I saw to my left a collection of about a dozen equal sized static orange lights just above the horizon, probably above Franksbridge, Hundred House or direction of Aberedw. It was a clear moonlit night and I am familar with the landscape, so I know they were just above the skyline, not on the land; anyway, there is no hilltop town there! I stopped the car and as I watched they faded one by one over the course of about a minute. I drove on, and noticed that some of them had reappeared in roughly the same location. There was nowhere to stop, so I just drove on.
Comment : If you can provide further information on this or other possible UFO sightings in this area then please leave a comment or send details through our “submit sighting” form.

Time to smile
In the entrance hall of the library main building there is now an exhibition dedicated to elections in Iceland and printed party propaganda.
On the exhibition there is displayed materials the political parties have published before past elections and its title refers to the photographs of the parties' candidates. The oldest example of election leaflets is from the year 1899 but the main emphasis is on materials produced for the last election in 2007.
The materials on display are from the small print collection of the library national collection, collected from Icelandic print shops through the legal deposit.
The exhibition will be up until after the coming election on April 25.

The Lost Mind of Dr. Brain is the third installment of the educational Dr. Brain series, created and published by Sierra Entertainment.
As in the first two games, Lost Mind features science related puzzles. Where the previous installments featured a large, semi-free-roaming environment, however, Lost Mind confines the player to one single area (Dr. Brain's laboratory), with puzzles accessed from a central 'map' screen. Similarly, while the previous games' puzzles ranged across a variety of disciplines (both Castle and Island contained memory and word puzzles, as well as puzzles related to art and the sciences), Lost Mind focuses solely on the human brain, with puzzles related to spatial orientation, memorization, and symbolic association.
Due to the restricted game environment, much of the humor that was found in the first two games is missing in Lost Mind; since the player no longer has free rein over an entire island or castle, there is very little to explore, and very little with which to interact.
Between the second and third installments, several new characters have been introduced: Dr. Brain's niece, Elaina, is on hand to replace Dr. Brain as host, and also serves as a guide to Dr. Brain's mental pathways. Also, Rathbone, Dr. Brain's laboratory rat, provides what limited verbal humor can be found in the game.

Lovely is my latest Dior nail varnish. Its base colour is rose and beige, and in addition it has a golden shimmer. So, indeed, it’s a lovely shade, however, as part of this year’s Diorsnow collection, available in Asia only (I got mine from Hong Kong).
The formula is a bit sheer although it looks nice with a slight visible nail line. Since I like it more opaque, I applied three thin coats.

Growing up, one of the many values instilled in me was to never give up. Being raised by a single mother taught me that being independent, fighting through trials and not throwing in the towel were virtues that I needed in my life. And while those values helped me get through school and into a great career, I sometimes wonder whether there is a downside to seeing things through no matter what. What if, instead, we actually gave our children the space to quite some things every now and then?
I know what you’re thinking: I don’t want my child to think that it’s okay to just give up when things get hard. And I’m with you on that! However, do we ever teach our children when to know that it’s a lost cause or how to develop an awareness of when it’s time to throw in the towel? It can be tough watching our children struggle—and it can be equally frustrating to watch our children start and stop things as they grow older. But what I’m proposing is a strategic and teachable way to help our children know when to quit. By following these four steps, you can be sure that even if your child decides to walk away from something, he’s making the best decision for his life, and, in that sense, he’s really not a quitter at all.
Set Realistic Goals
The best way to know if—or when—it’s time to quit is to know if what you’re striving for is an attainable goal. Kids always have great plans for themselves, but sometimes they don’t have a clue on how to execute them. Likewise, they may not actually know whether they will be able to achieve that goal even if they do everything in their power to reach it. I encourage parents to have meaningful discussions with their children that focus on setting realistic goals for their child that will move them closer to attaining their dreams. And as the parent, you can help your child plan for barriers and obstacles by asking open-ended questions about how they’ll handle opposition, frustration and fatigue on their journey. The reason setting realistic goals helps when deciding if your child should quit is because you have a tangible plan that allows both you and your child to see where it might be time to let this goal go (when you’ve completed all the steps on the plan and still not made any progress, for example)—or when a few tweaks might need to be made.
Get To Know Your Kid
Kids grow and change at an alarming rate! As they get more involved with peers and extracurricular activities, it can be difficult to keep track of who they are and who they are becoming. But when it’s time to determine whether your child should give up on a particular goal or activity, having a good understanding of who she is will help you guide her to the right decision. You can begin to get to know you child better by planning dates—just the two of you—during which you let her talk about where she is in life and how she sees the world. Another cool strategy that I encourage my parents to use is to watch TV shows or movies with their child and then ask them questions about certain characters or events. Getting a sense of how your child understands decision making in external characters is great information for you to see how your child views life. As you get to know your child’s thought processes and perspectives, you’ll actually be able to see if they have to ability to push through hardships or if the need to quit what they are working on.
Teach Them About Grit
As a side effect of knowing your child, you’ll get to see whether he has “grit.” Clinical psychologist Dr. Angelica Shiels says that grit is “sticking with something even though it’s not fun” and stresses that it is a valuable skill for children to have. When we learn to tough it out, we also learn a lot about ourselves—but what we learn is not always what we thought. Sometimes sticking it out teaches us that we’re not cut out for a particular task—and that’s okay! Dr. Shiels says that her own children “tried several different activities before they found something that fit with their natural abilities and interests.” What’s important when teaching children about grit is to stress the importance of committing to something that will not always be fun to do. Ultimately, that task will help them learn more about who they are and what they’re capable of. When you and your child do decide to quit something, make sure that there’s space to reflect on what worked and didn’t work so that you can turn quitting into s step towards developing more grit in your child.
Check Your Own Baggage
We sometimes struggle with letting our children quit because quitting is connected to our own feelings and life experiences. When your child comes to you weighing the decision to quit a class, a sport or anything else, I challenge you to examine what quitting means to you. Ask yourself what values you place on quitting, and reflect on the times that you quit something in your life—whether as a kid or an adult. This exercise gives you space to nurture the strong feelings you have about quitting while also allowing space for your child to develop their own understanding of quitting. This is the piece of parenting that can sometimes be the toughest: knowing how to be reflective of our own experiences while simultaneously allowing our children to have their own experiences.
The overall idea is that knowing when to let our children quit is a multi-faceted decision that doesn’t have to be made hastily. As a guide for your child, you can help him understand what it means to quit, when it’s okay to walk away from something and how those reflections will help him build a healthy sense of who he is as he matures.

to make sure that the best innovative
thinking was available to defense.
Defense is far from the only area
where the public interest sorely needs
the input of technical people. The Inter-
net and social media have radically trans-
formed commerce and community, but
they’ve also created new opportunities for
hostility, lies, and isolation. Now a vari-
ety of actors—including government—are
urging digital companies like Facebook to
address those challenges. It’s in their best
interest to do so, because if the technolo-
gists themselves don’t do it, the problems
will instead be “solved” by lawyers, legis-
lators, and regulators.
There’s also technology’s effect on
jobs. Driverless cars will make roads
safer and give hours of time back to com-
muters. They’ll also eliminate the jobs
of millions of people who make their
living driving trucks, cabs, and delivery
vehicles. Perhaps technology can help
by creating new types of jobs. Keeping
the American dream real, so that people
have a chance to improve their lives, is
essential to a cohesive society—as today’s
politics sometimes show.
Meanwhile, as some old jobs go
away, many companies report having
trouble finding qualified employees for
new jobs. Here again, technology can
help—by making technical training
more widespread, making it available
at various levels, and making it lifelong,
via online delivery.
Remembering the lessons the atomic
physics generation taught me when I
was starting out gives me hope about
the role technologists can play in handling the bright opportunities—and
civic dilemmas—that innovation brings.
So too does my experience as secretary
Young technologists I have met want
to make a di;erence. They know that the
progress of science cannot be stopped,
but it can also be shaped for good. They
know that if they don’t join the e;ort,
choices will be made by politicians or
judges who might not have much technical background or insight. Worse, the
effects of change might fall victim to
forces of backwardness and darkness.
Many of these people don’t necessarily
want jobs in government or philanthropy,
at least not for an entire career. They
want to join the most powerful engine of
making a di;erence: private companies
fueled by technology. But they also want
to be sure they invent solutions to problems that technology creates, just like
the atomic bomb scientists who invented
arms control in a distant era.
Ash Carter was secretary of defense from
2015 to 2017. He is an Innovation Fellow
at MIT and director of the Harvard
Kennedy School’s Belfer Center for Science
and International A;airs.

Why Won't Birtherism Die?
America's Worst Sheriff Joe Arpaio, a petty despot with a cruel streak to rival that of Roy Moore, has jumped into the Arizona Senate race. It is -- or should be -- common knowledge that Arpaio wasted five years blowing through taxpayer money on a wild goose chase for President Barack Obama's 'real' birth certificate (the one produced by the White House is fake, of course; any evidence that Obama was born in Hawaii is to be rejected a priori). Arpaio just yesterday declared once again that the former president's birth certificate is 'phony.' Why today, with Obama out of office forever, is Arpaio still fixated on the 'Birther' question? What difference, at this point, does it make?
The prevailing narrative on the right about President Obama is that he was a leftist infiltrator who doesn't love his country and is bitter and resentful toward white people. Let us recall what Marco Rubio was repeating as Chris Christie murdered his campaign during that New Hampshire debate two years ago: the problem with Obama wasn't, as John McCain alleged in 2008, that he was inexperienced and unready for the job on Day One, he said. No: the problem was that Obama knew exactly what he was doing, and he did it because, in a word, he doesn't love America. For Sen. Rubio, as for Fox News, Breitbart, talk radio charlatans like Sean Hannity and Mark Levin, President Trump, etc., Obama wanted to 'fundamentally transform' this nation the image of leftist ideology because he's not a 'real' American, whether literally or ideologically.
Of course, not all right-wingers believe Obama was born in Kenya; I would venture to say no more than a third really buy into it hook, line, and sinker. But most of the rest are largely sympathetic to the idea that there is something fundamentally 'un-American' about him, and are happy to excuse Birtherism because they understand the origin of the impulse to believe. The particulars vary from right-winger to right-winger: some think Obama is driven primarily by anti-white racism, some think he rejects America for purely abstract, ideological reasons, some think he is driven by a desire for revenge for colonialism, given his father's African roots, and so on. But all, including the president, agree that Obama is in some decisive sense not a 'real' American, and think it is incredibly important that this is understood by the public. Some simply take this a step further than others and figure that someone who hates America as much as Obama does could not possibly be an American citizen at all. If they can demonstrate he was born in Kenya and is not an American citizen, then his legacy can be thoroughly repudiated as illegitimate.
It is questionable whether Arpaio will win the Senate nomination -- and if he does, his defeat is virtually guaranteed. But his continued insistence on the fundamental illegitimacy of the Obama presidency should be a stark reminder of what put President Trump, who rose to prominence politically on the back of the very same topic, in the White House.

My team is first and played with the second. in the 38th Mn his defender took a second yellow card and he left the match, in the 81th another player was sent off. Strangely we finished the match by a draw 3/3. my question :do you take Red Card as a parameter of winning or losing a match or its just a symbolic and exotic material. in real match, Red Card is a punishment for teams who lose a player. I think its time to change it. Sincerely.
Hello, (firstly sorry for my English) Its not fare to expose our team's instructions in the result to players who just established in there instruction because its working. Even if it doesn't work for them, but I think instructions settling are propriety of player who spends a lot of time to research, install and combined in order to get the best combination for their team. voila. thanks and good luck

Couples Massage Class in Downtown Seattle.
Unique One Massage Therapist for One Couple for Two Hours!
Learn how to massage each other - Your spouse, partner, boy friend/girl friend, family members or just friends in a unique individual training session with an experienced massage therapist.
Anyone can learn to massage and everyone should! With the world moving toward a technology based communication system, touch is getting lost. Touch is how we know the difference between where you begin and other start. It is essential in keeping in touch with yourself and with others. This class will teach you how to massage someone in a therapeutic way and help them with their unique stress points.
It is a two hour class where the two people (couples, friends, family members) will be taught how to do a basic back or neck or specific area like foot or hands or whatever is most important for that person. It begins with your massage therapist (Me!) doing a thorough intake and assessment of each persons health and condition of their muscles. You will then be instructed in very basic anatomy and learn which areas to avoid and learn the very basics of massage.
Each 2 hour session will cost $170 per couple (2 people taking the class pay $170)
You will just need to wear comfortable clothing for the class. Everything else will be supplied - Massage Lotion, massage table and sheets.
For continuing your learning at home I suggest you invest in a massage table like this very inexpensive one that you can just buy directly from amazon.com
While massage can be done on the floor or bed, it is just much easier on everyone involved! It makes massaging each other less stressful on the person doing the massage and more comfortable for the person getting the massage. The massage table is really your tool. You can use twin sized bed sheets to cover the massage table.Master Massage 3-Piece Flannel Sheet Set
You will also need basic massage oil or massage lotion and maybe a few pillows. The most basic massage oil is just plain Almond Oil. Another popular massage oil is fractionated coconut oil or jojoba oil.
To reserve your space schedule below using the Online Appointment System or use the form below to contact me if you have any questions!
You can also buy a Gift Certificate for the class below!

OKALOOSA ISLAND — One of the drivers involved in Sunday's three-vehicle wreck on U.S. Highway 98 just east of Brooks Bridge has been declared brain dead.
Sacred Heart Hospital spokesman Mike Burke confirmed on Tuesday afternoon that Raliek Boswell was declared brain dead. Burke declined to provide more details on the North Carolina man.
Sacred Heart Hospital's house supervisor said Bowsell's family is traveling to the hospital, which is when he will be taken off life support.
Burke declined to provide details of the exact date or time on the North Carolina man.
A sergeant with the Florida Highway Patrol said Monday that Boswell was on life-support. He was airlifted to the Pensacola hospital following the crash.
Boswell suffered the fatal injuries after he ran a red light in his black Mercedes and struck two pickup trucks, according to a report from FHP.
Updates on the conditions of the three other people injured in the wreck weren't immediately available.
MONDAY EVENING UPDATE:
Two people suffered traumatic injuries in a three-car wreck on U.S. Highway 98 just east of Brooks Bridge Sunday evening. Traffic was snarled for miles several hours after the wreck.
Raliek Boswell, who lives in Fort Bragg, N.C., was driving a black Mercedes eastbound on U.S. Highway 98 and ran the red light at the intersection with Santa Rosa Boulevard about 5:45 p.m., said Sgt. Ron Livingston with the Florida Highway Patrol.
He crashed into the front of a white pick-up truck and the back of a black pick-up truck that were both turning west onto U.S. 98 from Santa Rosa Boulevard, FHP reported.
The trucks were each in one of the two turn lanes.
The white pick-up appeared to have flipped over several times, firefighters reported. They had to cut off the roof of the truck to pull out the driver, Ronda Howard, and passenger, Otis Howard, both of Carrolton, Ga.
Bowell and Otis Howard suffered traumatic injuries. Two medical helicopters landed near the scene to take them to hospitals in Pensacola.
Boswell, whose age was unknown, was in "very critical" condition at Sacred Heart Hospital a few hours after the crash, Livingston said.
By Monday evening, Livingston said Boswell was on life support.
He was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the wreck, FHP reported.
Otis Howard, 56, suffered serious injuries, but was stable at Baptist Hospital, Livingston said.
Ronda Howard, 54, and the driver of the black truck, Francisco Rocha, 26 of Baltimore, Maryland, were taken to Fort Walton Beach Medical Center with minor injuries.
All three vehicles came to rest in the eastbound lanes of the intersection.
Capt. John Brinkerhoff with the Okaloosa Island Fire Department said both trucks were filled with tools and equipment, which was strewn across the intersection.
Eastbound traffic on U.S. 98 came to a complete standstill for at least an hour before law enforcement officers could reroute some of into a westbound lane. Traffic on Santa Rosa Boulevard was rerouted through a parking lot.
Traffic was still down to one lane in each direction about 8:30 p.m.
Livingston said he was not yet sure whether alcohol was a factor in the crash.

Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed, noncutaneous cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths of men in North America. When diagnosed at an early stage, prostate cancer is frequently curable by surgery or radiation. However, if progression and metastases develop, the disease becomes increasingly difficult to treat; and 27,540 men are expected to die of the disease in North America in 2016. The approved regimens for recurrent metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) including androgen receptor (AR) inhibitors, chemotherapy, radiation and immunotherapy only extend life by months and are thus not curative treatment options. Clearly, effective new treatments are urgently required in order to save the lives of men with mCRPC.

Planning A Holiday Party
With Christmas on the horizon, it may the time for some of you to begin planning your holiday party. However, whether you have hosted a holiday party for the past 10 years or whether it is your first time hosting such a party I can say with confidence that hosts that fall into both these categories would consider the prospect of planning a holiday party to be an overwhelming task. That is because during this time of the year many people are feeling the stress of the chores that they have to accomplish and they also wish for this party to be a flawless event which would be talked about till your next year’s party. Thus, to help these individuals achieve this goal the following article will go on to explore some helpful tips with regard to planning a holiday party.
Create a Budget
We understand that this may be the last party you are hosting for this year but that is no reason to begin planning haphazardly and utilizing all their savings to pull off this party. Instead, before one takes any steps they should create a budget because that would determine whether they can afford to host the party at one of the function rooms Adelaide CBD or whether they have to limit themselves to hosting the event at their own home.
Once the budget is created one can then begin to select the perfect location to host the party at, if one is working within a strict budget they can simply opt to host the event at their own home. However, if one is not constrained as such they can think about hosting the event at a local restaurant or even at a hotel event hall. However, when selecting the venue one should also make sure that there is accommodation Adelaide CBD available for those who may be too inebriated to drive home or that there is a taxi stand nearby.
Food & Beverages
When considering the menu at this event, there is no question that the menu should focus on the holiday theme which means that all the dishes should complement this Christmas season. Furthermore, although many individuals would opt to have an open bar they can also strive to serve a signature cocktail which would complement this coming season. This could be something as simple as mulled wine or one could even be creative as they like and create their own concoction.
If one strives to follow the aforementioned guide they would soon realize that planning a holiday party does not have to be an overwhelming task.
Innovative Types Of Nuptial Ceremonies That Millennials Try
Just like the trends in culture, fashion, food and everything else, the trends in nuptials have also been changing slowly but surely. The generation of millennials are more open to have fun and experiment and they plan out their special days with the express intention of making it memorable and just having a great time in general with their loved ones. There are some serious cut backs on the amount of traditional components as well as expenditure as more and more couples opt for informal and intimate gatherings. Here are some innovative types of nuptial ceremonies that millennials try out.
Destination nuptial ceremonies
These are ceremonies that are often held in locations that are considered exotic. These types of ceremonies have become very popular in the recent years. Many people also find that these ceremonies do not have large guest lists because the ceremony requires you to catch a flight. So usually the gathering has about twenty people in maximum. Couples who celebrate this type of ceremony also get an offer for their honeymoon and if they cannot be legally wedded as per the law of the country they visit, they will need to have a marriage celebrant Sydney with them. Learn about pricing here https://www.carladavern.com.au/services-fees/.
This will also fall into the category of a destination ceremony only with the exception that the ship’s captain or a clergy member in the port will act as the wedding celebrant. The crew onboard will help you organize all the details of the event and it is also usually a very intimate affair with a few close ones. Many of the cruise ships these days, provide the webcam facility at these events so that you can let others who were unable to make it see the big day.
Yes, this is a form of ceremony as well. Basically when you hear this word, you think of wild romances and crazy fantasies of running away with your better half. Even though this can be a fantasy to almost every bride or groom when they are in their teens, there are only a very few who choose this method. One such hot spot where couples come to enjoy the feeling of a fast and unique eloping ceremony is Las Vegas.
This is also called a mass nuptial ceremony and it consists of many different couples who get wedded at the same time, legally, these types of nuptials are often hosted by nuptial cities and venues and they provide a great option for couples who are pushed for a budget. It also agrees well with couples who wish to celebrate their union in a very public manner. The couples that tie the knot here, all receive a champagne toast as well as a cake each. They are also free to use the venue of the ceremony as their reception if they wish to as well.
Mistakes That Ruin Your Special Day And How To Avoid Them
A marriage is one of the most important days in anybody’s life. It marks a whole new chapter and a very fresh beginning for the couple who are now a family. With the sound of bells coming in closer, every bride and groom along with their families face that familiar rush of excitement, chores, stress and a lot more. In all of this, it is very easy to do some critical mistakes that will leave your special day feeling like it was not so special. Here are some of the most common mistakes that can be seen at marriage ceremonies and how you can avoid them. OverspendingThis one is the king of all mistakes that takes the cake. Most couples tend to overspend on everything in their ceremony in the hopes of making it the best day ever. What they fail to realize is that something like getting into debt over the ceremony or blowing up all the savings that you and your partner could otherwise use for building up their new lives is really not the way to go. You can look for great yet affordable wedding photography McLaren Vale, beautiful dresses that are not necessarily branded and the likes of such that will still make the day a really unique and beautiful one without killing your savings. Trying to do too muchIf you do not stick to a logical transitional flow of one area of the venue to another or even in the event as a whole, the whole ceremony will look and feel very confusing. It will feel cluttered. The best thing to do is to remember that even though this is a special day, it does not need to be like a carnival with constant changes and surprises. You do not need to have the best wedding photographers Adelaide doing a different style of images in every single setting. You also do not have to try to cram everything in the span of a couple of hours. Just keep it simple and enjoy the moment. Getting overly creativeThis is another completely no no for something that needs to be simple an elegant as well as fun. It’s good to be original and creative, but trying to get too creative with a nuptial ceremony is never a good idea because you automatically increase the amount of things that could potentially go wrong. For example, if you are trying out a novel theme of some sort, you need to make sure that it does not become overly alien for the event.
Finding Wedding Gowns- Tips To Find The Perfect One For You
There’s no such thing as perfect, but if you could make things fall into their places, it could give you the perfect outcome. Just like at weddings. In order to have a perfect one, everything should run smoothly, all things needed should be done in time.
So, when it comes to weddings, it is always essential to have the perfect wedding gowns. This is for the reason that the wedding gown is mainly the showpiece of any wedding event. The wedding gown is not only a plain dress being worn by a bride. It is the substantial emblem of love, purity as well as happiness awaiting the bride in her future with the groom. Which is why, finding the perfect wedding gown is as essential as preparing the wedding celebration itself.
Simple Tips To Find The Perfect Wedding Gown
1. Get all of the resources available- before, the wedding magazines are the only resources wherein the soon-to-be-bride could get some sort of useful ideas on their wedding gown. The only thing is that, with the advent of the internet, one can easily browse for many ideas as well as concepts of wedding gowns. Keep in mind, there are a whole lot of websites that will surely give you all of the full details about a certain wedding gown with its particular style, price and fashion sense as well.
2. Create your budget and live with it- with any wedding plans, budget will always be there. The only thing is that, one of the common problems in terms of budgeting is merely the fact that people do not really stick to it. However, if you have a budget for your dress, make sure that you stick to it and never be enticed with the promotions of whoever will be making your dress. Thus, you’ll fall short on other aspects of your plans.
3. Be practical with the design- never settle with the design of the gown alone. You should also consider how it will work for you and even for the venue. Make sure that you’re also comfortable with it, otherwise, you’ll end up worrying about your gown during the celebration, and end up missing what’s really important.
4. Fit- you need to know if the gown accentuates the highlights of your body. So, you should fit as many gowns as possible until you find the best one.
Everybody wants to have the perfect wedding, the wedding that everybody will surely remember. Simply start with your wedding gown. Take these tips mentioned above and find the perfect wedding dress.

This is the stuff that relationship goals are made of.
Sterling K. Brown and wife Ryan Michelle Bathe adorably gushed over their epic real-life romance on the SAG Awards red carpet on Sunday -- and looked fabulous while doing it!
"We need to actually put pen to paper and get it produced because people wouldn't believe it," the This Is Us star told ET's Nancy O'Dell about the couple's relationship. "The multitude of ups and downs that we went through before we finally got together and figured it out. [We] have been together solid since April 2004, [but] all the stuff that happened before that, it's a good movie."
WATCH: Sterling K. Brown Reveals the Moment He Felt 'Accepted' in Hollywood
The pair, both 40, wed in 2007, but, believe it or not, their love story actually began at birth.
"We went to undergrad together, we went to grad school together, we were born in St. Louis, Missouri, and even more impressive, we were born in the same hospital," Brown said. "Crazier than that, our social security numbers are only three digits apart. Like, it's crazy! But we didn't meet until age 18, freshman year at Stanford University."
"We lived in the same dorm," Bathe chimed in, confirming that she and Brown aren't actually long-lost siblings.
"No! We did our DNA," she said. "Thank you Ancestry.com!"
Brown is nominated twice at Sunday's Screen Actors Guild Awards, for his work in both The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story and This Is Us. The actor said it was his first time attending the awards ceremony, but couldn't help teasing his wife about a missed opportunity more than a decade ago when she was nominated for the show Boston Legal.
"I got an invitation and my plus one -- I took my manager at the time, much to my husband's chagrin," she said after much prodding from Brown. "He was not my husband at the time! So, please, no shame, no shade!"
"We were just fiance-ed," Brown joked.
"Anyway, the point is, I took my manager at the time and he has yet to forgive me," she continued. "She's no longer my manager, she's still a lovely person, but she's no longer my manager and I just thought -- look, y'all, I was trying to get on another show, OK?"
On Brown's big night, the actor seemed to be in a playful mood. But back in December, after getting the news of his double nominations, Brown couldn't hold back his tears. See his sweet, emotional reaction in the video below.

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) August 12, 2013

Musk first told Bloomberg Businessweek Monday that the solar-powered Hyperloop system will transport people in aluminum pods and cars at speeds up to 800 mph. Businessweek reported the tubes would be mounted on columns 50 to 100 yards apart.
"The Hyperloop (or something similar) is, in my opinion, the right solution for the specific case of high traffic city pairs that are less than about 1500 km or 900 miles apart," Musk wrote in the blog post.
That distance wouldn't be enough to link the 3,000 miles between San Francisco with New York City, but could link Northern California with Los Angeles. For longer distances, Musk said "supersonic air travel" would be more efficient.
The Hyperloop design — estimated to cost about $6 billion — also addresses safety concerns.
“There’s an emergency brake,” Musk told Businessweek. “Generally, though, the safe distance between the pods would be about 5 miles, so you could have about 70 pods between Los Angeles and San Francisco that leave every 30 seconds. It’s like getting a ride on Space Mountain at Disneyland.”
He also claimed the transport system would be resistant to earthquakes and immune to weather.
"It's not like it's going to fall out of the sky," Musk clarified in a call with the press Monday evening, adding that the pods can't really be derailed.
Hyperloop could be the fifth in the so-called major forms of transportation that includes planes, trains, automobiles and boats. But if the designs come to fruition, Hyperloop would be faster than these other modes. According to Gocompare.com, commercial airliners travel average 575 mph, while Shanghai's Maglev train can speeds up to 311 mph. The now-defunct Concorde jet could reportedly reach 1,350 mph.
Shortly after making the announcement Monday, Musk cautioned that the alpha design would be updated:
Btw, this is not the very latest version. Will post an updated version with several late arriving corrections in a few hours.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) August 12, 2013
Musk told reporters that Hyperloop is a "low priority" compared to SpaceX and Tesla, but he noted that he wants to create a Hyperloop prototype.
"I'm not trying to make a ton of money on this ... but I'd like to see it come to fruition," he said.
Musk previously suggested in July that Hyperloop won't be patented and the system would be published open-source.
Earlier on Monday, Musk tweeted that he and his team pulled an "all nighter" working on the Hyperloop plans. Rumors stated that Hyperloop would be solar-powered, boast two-meter-wide passenger pods and travel twice the speed of commercial crafts.
Musk isn't the only one dreaming up the next generation of high-speed transportation.
Longmont, Colo.-based ET3 is working on a mode of transportation that it calls "space travel on Earth." ET3's "Evacuated Tube Transport" system is made up of "car-sized passenger capsules" that could travel 370 mph for in-state trips and 4,000 mph for international travel. ET3's system would hypothetically transport people from New York to Beijing in just two hours. The company also claims it could build this system for "one-tenth the cost of High Speed Rail, or one-fourth the cost of a freeway."
There has also been a lot of buzz surrounding plans for a high-speed rail system in the United States. But even those high-speed trains would reportedly only travel at 220 mph.
Elon Musk, Seasoned Entrepreneur
Musk, 42, is no stranger in the field of disrupting the transportation status quo.
The South African-born entrepreneur grew to prominence as an original cofounder of e-commerce business PayPal, which went global and was acquired by eBay in 2002 for $1.5 billion. Before that, he founded Internet software company Zip2 in 1995 and sold it to Compaq in 1999 for more than $300 million.
Musk founded SpaceX (short for Space Exploration Technologies) in 2002 in hopes to "to revolutionize space technology, with the ultimate goal of enabling people to live on other planets." Today, the company has more than 3,000 employees. In 2012, SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft successfully attached to the International Space Station.

In 2003, Musk founded Tesla Motors, eventually spearheading a new class of luxury electric vehicles. The company now has more than 2,000 employees and two car models: the roadster Model S and the crossover Model X. Tesla and high-end competitors like Fisker are trying to capture the luxury electric vehicle market.
Musk, who graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with degrees in economics and physics, is also the chairman of SolarCity, a San Mateo-Calif.-based solar energy service provider for American homeowners, businesses and government organizations.
Last week in a Google+ hangout with Richard Branson, Musk hinted that beyond Hyperloop, he might want to start yet another company.
"If I were to start another company in the future, which I don't think would be anytime soon, it would be to try to create an aircraft that is supersonic, vertical takeoff and landing. [An] electric jet."

Fans new ahead of time that the Swordfish II, the ship piloted by Cowboy Bebop‘s Spike Spiegel, was making an appearance in Stephen Spielberg’s Ready Player One film and earlier trailers teased a cameo of the original RX-78-2 Gundam. Now you can check out the giant mecha up close and personal in a limited clip that began streaming in Japan on April 17, three days ahead of its Japan premiere.
The clip shows character Daito (Win Morisaki) summon a Gundam before air-dropping into battle.
Another clip shows an extended version of the film’s race sequence where Art3mis weaves through cars and dodges T-Rex and King Kong on the back of Kaneda’s bike from Akira.
The film contains numerous pop culture references with appearances by Hello Kitty and Chun-Li, and Ryu from Street Fighter. Spielberg himself praised Japan’s pop culture trends at the film’s red carpet premiere in Kabukicho on Wednesday.
He was joined on the red carpet by actress Olivia Cooke (Art3mis) and actor Tye Sheridan (Wade/Parzival). Japanese celebrities Sara Takanashi (Olympic ski jumper), Reika Oozeki (YouTuber), Kenji Kamiyama (Ghost in the Shell S.A.C. director), Shinji Aramaki (Appleseed director), Yūji Kaida (illustrator), Aya Kouda (novelist), Reina Kobayashi (actress), Nashiko Momoyama (cosplayer), Dante Carver (actor), Kanō Sisters (talent), and Hiroto Kiritani (shogi player/investor).
Ernest Cline’s original novel, dubbed “holy grail of pop culture” features a plethora of early Japanese video game and anime references, from Neon Genesis Evangelion to Toei‘s Spider-Man (written as Supaidaman in the book) live-action series.
The film has garnered US$117 million domestically since it opened on March 29 and US$484 million worldwide.

When my children are sick, we have “a movie day.”
When they were younger, they watched cartoons. (I can’t stand cartoons. They irritate me.) Now that they are older – unless cartoons are teaching history – they are not acceptable for our “Movie Day.”
So I decided to have a list of movies for the “Just In Case…”
Some might not be appropriate for your family, use discretion. I use those “uh-oh” words or predicaments as a learning tool. But, I totally understand if your family does not agree. This is on my “to-see” list. Not all movies have been previewed.
(We have only seen Volume 1. It was very informative. The younger kids liked the different animals.)
(This was interesting when we got to see some of the actual planes.)
(My brother and I loved this series as children.)

At a recent meeting of the Medicare Payment Advisory Committee (MedPAC), commissioners learned that, all things being equal, Medicare Advantage plans–commercial health plans offering Medicare benefits–cost the federal government five percent more than traditional Medicare in 2016. But, according to Kip Sullivan at the Health Care Blog, no one could explain why these commercial Medicare plans offer such poor value. And, no commissioner asked why government still overpays these commercial Medicare plans.
It’s worth noting that Congress passed legislation in 2003 supporting the choice of commercial Medicare Advantage plans through Medicare on the theory that these commercial health plans would be more cost effective than traditional Medicare. More than a dozen years later, traditional Medicare remains more cost-effective. Yet, Congress is neither suggesting that the government ratchet back payments to these plans, nor that they be terminated.
As startling, the MedPAC commissioners charged with overseeing Medicare payments cannot get an explanation as to why Medicare Advantage plans are not reducing Medicare spending. The MedPAC staff believes that it is not possible to get the answer to this question. But, no one in Congress or on the MedPAC committee is even suggesting that Medicare Advantage plans be transparent and provide data explaining why they cost more than traditional Medicare.
Taxpayers pay for Medicare Advantage plans, which are administered through commercial insurance companies such as UnitedHealthcare, Aetna and Humana, Yet, for some inexplicable reason, these insurers are permitted to claim that most of their data is proprietary and are not held accountable for their higher costs.
Now, Speaker Ryan and his Republican allies in Congress are on a path to privatize all of Medicare, which will not only significantly drive up out-of-pocket costs for people with Medicare but will leave us even more in the dark about what’s working and not working in our health care system. Talk about giving away the store at the expense of people with Medicare and U.S. taxpayers.
If you oppose Ryan’s plan to privatize Medicare, please sign this petition and visit your Senators to make your views known.

The Nikon Coolpix S810c is only the camera giant's second model to offer an Android operating system in the growing world of smart cameras. Consumers looking for a smart camera should note though that the S810c is only equipped with Wi-Fi--when you're out of reach of a wi-fi network, you have to connect to a smartphone or tablet to share those images online.
The S810c has a lot of the usability of a smartphone camera (minus the 4G) with the image quality of a solid point-and-shoot. The 16 megapixel 1/2.3" CMOS sensor is average for the category, but certainly above average compared to a smart phone camera. The 12x optical zoom is also a nice feature, along with a macro mode that can focus as close as .8" from the lens.
The S810c has a good burst speed of 8 fps--but beware that you can only take three images in a row at that speed, a spec that likely indicates this camera is a bit slower at processing images than a typical compact without Android. The shutter speed can reach up to 1/4000, however, which is actually quite good for the category.
When looking at smart cameras, there's a few more specs to consider. The Nikon S810c has an Android 4.2.2 operating system with 4 GB of internal storage and approximately 1 GB or RAM. The camera will run image and video apps available on Google Play, along with offering the in-camera image editing that's common on Nikon compacts.
The biggest downfall of the Nikon S810c is that you pay a bit more for a camera that's not quite as high quality in order to get the Android operating system and image apps--yet there's no 3G or 4G, so you are limited by wi-fi. Check out some of the competing models by Samsung before you buy.
Nikon has long been one of the top manufacturers in the industry, and their products are still solid options today. The camera giant is continuously releasing new products with enhancements in image quality and performance.
It's hard to go wrong with a Nikon DSLR. With a different model available for every skill level from beginner to professional, Nikon's DSLR's have always been top notch. Their latest DSLRs have seen improved noise reduction, enhanced video quality and upgraded designs over cameras from just a few years ago.
Nikon made an interesting move in the realm of mirrorless cameras—instead of pushing for bigger sensors, Nikon instead has focused on speed. The Nikon 1 line cameras use a 1” sensor, which is larger than your average point-and-shoot but smaller than the Micro Four Thirds options. While the 1 line doesn't have much resolution, their cameras boast speeds upwards of 15 fps—no other mirrorless line currently comes close to that level of speed.
Nikon's compacts aren't as much of a sure thing as their DSLRs—some of their smaller cameras are quite impressive, while others are beaten out by competitors. We liked their higher end consumer point-and-shoots like the COOLPIX S6500, but be careful with their budget compacts. They offer quite a range of compact cameras, just be sure to read the reviews on the individual camera first.
Nikon offers a full range of cameras from tiny budget models to professional DSLRs. More often than not, if you go with a Nikon, you're getting a solid camera.
We here at Digital Camera HQ offer unbiased, informative reviews and recommendations to guide you to the right camera. We're not an actual store; we're just here to help you find the perfect camera at the best price possible by using our camera grades. Let us know if you have any problems or questions, we're happy to help.

At the beginning of every August, when camps end, the weather is god awful hot and the kids are bored with their friends….this mama is READY for school to begin! Thankfully
Homewood schools go back early, August 12th. We planned one last hoorah to New Orleans the weekend before school went back to just offer something fun and different for the kids. In addition, Kris lives there with her family, so we had fun visiting with them.
Friday, after a back to school breakfast at the school, we packed up and drove down to NOLA. The kids all traveled well and we arrived mid afternoon. After getting checked into our hotel, we took the children to the rooftop pool to burn some energy. Kris, Paul and their girls met us there. After an hour of swimming, we headed back to our room to change into clothes before heading out for dinner at Drago’s. Steve adores their smoked oysters, and I wanted some fresh seafood. It was a little chaotic with six children under the age of 8, but we survived. Afterward, we headed back to the room to hit the hay early since we had a busy Saturday planned.
|They hope to see some alligators!|
Saturday morning, we got up bright and early to shower and grab breakfast before heading out on our swamp tour. The tour was located about 30 minutes away on a popular swamp. We had a large pontoon boat with a cover, which provided a little shade and plenty of good vision for the alligators. It was very beautiful out there with all of the trees and wildlife; however I could never live there as some folks do. During our two hour tour we saw about 8 alligators, some of which we fed so we could see up close. The kids (and us) had a ball!
|come here lil alligator....|
|"Do you have a snack for me?"|
|"Yum, a hotdog!"|
|not the same 'Sugar Shak" that we are used to...|
After the swamp tour, we drove back to NOLA to grab lunch. We met Kris’s parents there so I could say hello and then we went to walk through the new house that she and Paul are building. Before we headed to Mardi Gras World, I wanted to take the kids to a cemetery. I think they are so beautiful and unique in NOLA, and I wanted them to see it for themselves. Having never been to a cemetery at all, they had a lot of questions, but they were not scared.
Since it was blazing hot, we decided we needed a cool treat! So we were off to Hansen's for some of their historic sno-balls! We each got one, and sampled each other's. This place has been around since 1939, and is still in its original location....one that is VERY small without air conditioning. The lines are always long for the shaved ice and flavored syrups, and now I know why.
|Girls all dressed up!|
|Walker was petrified of tiger|
|beignets were a hit!|
|Walker's 1st visit to an aquarium, which he LOVED!|
|They loved the street car!|
As you can see, we really packed it all in during our quick weekend in NOLA! The kids had a ball, and I'm thrilled we could really concentrate on them seeing and learning about the city, and what makes it so unique. The theme of the trip was "Everything New Orleans." Of course, it was wonderful visiting with Kris and her family, and they were terrific hosts...helping me put it all together and doing much of it with us. Maybe next time we will time our visit around Mardi Gras so they can experience NOLA in a whole new way!

Gray is the color of compromise - being neither black nor white, it is the transition between two non-colors. The closer gray gets to black, the more dramatic and mysterious it becomes. The closer it gets to silver or white, the more illuminating and lively it becomes. Being both motionless and emotionless, gray is solid and stable, creating a sense of calm and composure, relief from a chaotic world.

Apparently, there’s no such thing as too much Marilyn Monroe. My Week with Marilyn star Michelle Williams is up for a Oscar on Sunday at the Academy Awards for her portrayal of the sex symbol. Cosmetics giant MAC just launched a limited edition collection of Marilyn Monroe makeup.
And Dreamworks Television new series, Smash, airing Mondays on NBC, has also resurrected the beloved actress as a team of theatre producers struggle to cast and create a Broadway musical about the screen legend’s life.
The show stars Debra Messing, Angelica Huston, Jack Davenport, and Christian Borle with American Idol alum Katherine McPhee and Broadway vet Megan Hilty as dueling Marilyns desperately vying for the lead role in the musical.
Ironically, the show's costume designer Molly Maginnis says she went after her job with the same fervor as a starlet on the hunt for a plum role. “I pursued it madly,” Maginnis confesses of her Smash dream job. Luckily. she was just what the show was looking for. “They wanted someone who had been a theatre designer, had worked on Broadway, had made dance costumes for musicals, but had also worked on TV shows and knew the demands.” Another plus is that she’d also worked in films with A-listers such as Robert DeNiro and Barbra Streisand (Little Fockers) and Jack Nicholson (The Bucket List, As Good as It Gets).
Maginnis hasn’t yet seen Williams’ film. “I prefer to make my own ideas of how Marilyn should look, We didn’t want to just duplicate her clothing. We're trying to create our own magic,” she says, adding that her six degrees connection with the legendary actress comes via the late Jack Lemmon. “He told me a few years ago that when he did Some Like it Hot with Marilyn, she stole one of his dresses.”
Making Smash gowns for two Marilyn wannabes (and maybe a rumored third) -- who have to do far more than just that famous wiggle – is the biggest challenge. “It’s a huge element to make dresses that they can dance in, one you have to always be sensitive to.”
And it’s more than just Lycra. “You have to know a lot of tricks about construction,” she explains. “Do you put a slit in the dress? Do you add godets (a circular section that lets the garment flare)? If they have to lift their arms over their heads, you have to cut the armhole and the sleeve differently to accommodate that movement.”
Maginnis is always on hand at dance rehearsals so she’s up on what the actors need to do while she’s designing their outfits. “Usually we have the kids come in and put on the costumes and say, “Dance! Go full out!’ so that we can see if something is going to rip.”
The show's Marilyn gowns -- such as the red beaded and embroidered dress worn in the sequence “Let’s Be Bad” -- also create shape from inside. “It has quite a foundation built into it to create the hourglass shape, Maginnis explains. “It’s all in the underpinnings. I often say ‘It’s not the costume, it’s the underwear.’ Women in that period wore waist cinchers, bustiers, and girdles. And good clothing back then also had shaping built into the dress.”
Hilty, who starred in Wicked (she played Glinda) on Broadway, is familiar with having clothing constructed for her. But McPhee hadn’t ever worn constrictive period clothing. Both actresses told Maginnis that their costumes helped them find their inner Marilyn.
“When you put on a dress that has been constructed to give you an hourglass shape, you feel like Marilyn would have felt," the designer explains. "She knew hat she had to be uncomfortable to be sexy, to be the ideal woman."

A new lab in Portland, Oregon who is making liquid yeast for both commercial breweries and home homebrewers. Each can boasts a whopping 200 Billion cells, providing what is considered the ideal pitch rate for five gallons of beer. This high cell counts will result in a VERY FAST start to your fermentation. A short lag time between cooling and active fermentation reduces the risk of bacteria or wild yeast taking hold. With this much yeast there is no need to make a starter in most situations. Imperial recommends that you store cold until use and then immediately pitch. Open the can slowly to release any potential pressure.

Many people have been opportune to serve their gift and talents to the world and in return, they have received a measure of value for their services. We have seen...
“You will only be defined by how you define yourself” ~ BLQuotes
Many people have fears as a result of either been told they were not good enough, their good was not acknowledged or met with strong destructive criticism. I was never any of that or rather those weren’t the reason for my fears. My own was a definition I gave to myself. I cannot exactly state when it all began but for someone who was in the choir in primary school, literacy and debating club in secondary school; it shouldn’t be so right? Just before you answer, ask what this fear was. Well you just have to read on.
I was defined by low self-esteem and the fear of the unknown. I felt comfortable because there was a routine and rules of behavior back in the levels of school I attended prior. When I got to the University, – where you become the behavioral police of yourself – I found out that I began to sink into a hole of not being good enough. As much as I tried to keep a straight face about it, it was eating me within.
There was so much that I could do but was so afraid to do because I didn’t want to disappoint myself, my dad especially and all my loved ones. I began to just move with whatever my comfort zone offered. I was always told how intelligent I was, these and that; but I was my own problem.
Fast forward to 2010 after I had met my then friend (now Husband and best friend). He was one person that pushed me (indirectly) to face my fears. You may ask how? Well, it was his love for me that gave me the drive to face my fears head on. As I grew in love with him every day, I began to realize that when you love someone, you do what you think you fear the most to make them happy (emphasis on think). I remember going out for the first time, unafraid of how people look at me and think of me. I opened a blog and began putting all my writings that had only seen the light of my room on there. I looked forward to working in an office as an Architect and generally I looked forward to a beautiful life.
The moment I made up my mind, I told God to help me to see failure as part of my journey. I believed in me more than anything and began to face my fears with God on my side, one at a time. And this led me to heights that I didn’t know I could reach. I am that Architect who has had and still have the opportunity of working on international projects; and finally moved to start her own company which had been registered for years but was operating in fear. I am that lady who has had and still have the opportunity of sharing and encouraging lots of people (old and young) through her writings and word of mouth and the list goes on. I am that lady who is choosing to only be great because that is my DNA.
I was afraid of the unknown but now I look forward to the future because I am going to fill it up with all that will only make it beautiful. Love propels me to face every fear that comes along my way head on.
If no one encourages you or cheers you own, I am here rooting for you and cheering you on to be the best you God designed you to be. Let your desire for a bright future propel you to break up with this life sucking disease called fear. Fear is a limitation that keeps you from achieving the best of you yet. Write those things you are afraid of and with God, face them head one, one after the other.
I am the dreamer who broke up with fear… Now I am living my dream. Let’s live our dreams together!

Somehow, those chubby pixel people are still great fun to play with. Maybe it's just memories of the classic games. Either way, Gamesabyss.com has put together a list of their top picks for classic sports games.

Numbers of wintering waders in non-estuarine habitats along the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts of Germany in winter 1997/98
31 – 35
1 January 08
J. Blew, K. Günther, J.J. Kieckbusch, H-W. Nehls
BioConsult SH, Brinckmannstraße 31, D-25813 Husum, Germany
Data on the numbers of waders wintering on the German non-estuarine coast are presented separately for the North Sea coast (282 km non-estuarine, 986 km estuarine) and the Baltic Sea coast (2,048 km all non-estuarine). On the North Sea coast, counts in January 1998 yielded 106,176 individuals of 15 wader species, with 385,555 individuals on the remaining estuarine sites. With the exception of Eurasian Oystercatcher Haematopus ostralegus and Eurasian Curlew Numenius arquata, all species occur in lower numbers in January in comparison to autumn and spring. Counts in the North Sea area were conducted over high tide and for some species (Red Knot Calidris canutus, Dunlin Calidris alpina, Bar-tailed Godwit Limosa lapponica and Eurasian Curlew), the numbers recorded in non-estuarine areas at this time are likely to be greater than those using these areas for feeding during the intertidal period. The counts of Sanderling Calidris alba, Purple Sandpiper Calidris maritima and Ruddy Turnstone Arenaria interpres are probably more representative. On the Baltic Sea coast, 1,681 individuals of 13 species were counted. This supports previous studies that have shown that the German Baltic Sea coast plays only a minor role for waders in winter.

Florida’s turkey season opens in March, first among U.S. states. Photo: John Hafner
With so many gadgets and gizmos available for turkey hunters, it’s easy to head afield weighted down like a lead balloon. I’m assuming you won’t leave the truck without your shotgun or bow. And while I may add or subtract some stuff depending on where or how I’m hunting gobblers, these essentials are always with me.
Sometimes you need a little light to sneak in close to a roost tree in the dark, or to navigate back to the truck after a late evening hunt. They come in all shapes, sizes, and price brackets and, trust me, I have some pricey lights so powerful they can turn off a street light. Often for turkey hunting, though, I use a little el cheapo model I got at Walmart for a dollar. Which light I choose depends on where, when and how I’m hunting.
Spring turkey hunting often means hordes of biting insects. The Thermacell is a quick, quiet, non-toxic way to keep them at bay. I also pack along some single-use insect repellant wipes in case they get super-bad.
8) Toilet Paper, Wet Wipes
No explanation necessary. I do carry both in a heavy, quart-sized Ziploc bag, which is also where I keep my license/tag and wallet and a small roll of electrician’s tape. All are buried in an inside vest pocket where they cannot accidentally fall out and I know if I have my vest I have all my paperwork.
All-day turkey hunts require hydration and fuel. I bring two 16-oz. plastic water bottles for each half-day and a half gallon-sized Ziploc that contains a myriad of tasty snacks.
Gotta have a knife, and there’s no better way to pack one along than with a multi-tool that can help you repair little problems without heading back to the truck.
5) Decoys/Spare Stake
I love decoys. This is especially true for the super, life-like decoys from Avian-X, Dave Smith Decoys, Cherokee Sports, Flambeau, Flextone and Primos. I know, many of you don’t believe in decoys, and many won’t hunt without them. I use them whenever and wherever practical. When I use a full-sized strutter, I always add a real turkey fan. And an extra decoy stake is pretty important for an airhead like me that’s always loosing stuff.
Many companies sell pruning shears and collapsible saws for hunters, and I never leave home without my set. They’re invaluable when you need to build a brush blind, trim a shooting lane, or remove pokey roots, thorn brush, and other annoying butt- and back-stickers when trying to set up. I have an old set from Knight & Hale Game Calls that I’ve used for years and really like.
Related: How to Plant Wild Turkey Food Plots
From glassing for birds in roost trees to scanning ahead for turkeys before moving to glassing distant country out West, a binocular is a hunter’s best friend. I prefer either an 8X or 10X glass.
2) Cell Phone/Charger
My smartphone is more than a safety device. With Google Earth, I can see the lay of the land, and a GPS app like MotionX means I can always find the truck. On an all-day, away-from-the-truck hunt I also pack along a small Firecel which serves as a phone charger (charge cord extra) and also incorporates a handwarmer and flashlight.
I am a minimalist caller, meaning I call as little as I have to to get the job done. That said, I always have in my vest at least two pot calls, one box call, one push-pull call, and an assortment of diaphragms. I also make sure I have extra chalk and sandpaper so I can keep my friction calls working like new.
BONUS TIP: If you have not started practicing with your calls yet, you’re way behind the curve.
A pocket, first aid kit pretty much always comes along. I like to have a laser rangefinder even when hunting with a shotgun and certainly always when bowhunting. A seat of some kind is nice, too; my favorite is an inflatable seat pad with back & sides that I can cinch tight to make it stiff as any chair back. Three spare shotshells seems to be my lucky number.
Related: Top 10 wild turkey facts
When my wife hunts with me I bring along a lightweight, collapsible bipod she can use as a rest for her shotgun. The number of decoys I carry is directly proportional to the amount of ground I plan on covering. When hunting Merriam’s and Gould’s birds out West that like to cover a lot of ground, I may exchange the traditional turkey vest for a high-volume daypack. This approach allows room for a full-sized strutter decoy with real fan and at least one hen decoy. If I am planning on hanging out on a field edge or near a water hole for an afternoon with the decoys out, a paperback book helps pass the time.
Oh, and did I mention you never, ever leave the truck without your hunting license/turkey tag? This may seem like a no-brainer, but in the heat of battle who hasn’t forgotten their license and/or tag?
What about you? What do you consider essential gear when turkey hunting? Drop me a note at email@example.com and let me know. And be sure to send pictures of your successful turkey hunts this spring!

Good morning! Today I am sharing a card I've made using the beautiful Voodoo Princess. You can find her in the Moonflower shop here: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/246353579/voodoo-priestess?ref=shop_home_active_34
I coloured her using Polychromos pencils and layered her onto a Brusho background, card and some patterned papers. The main background to the card was also created using Brushos.
To finish off the card I added some die cut flowers and flourishes.
I hope you like her!
You can find more inspiration from the other Moonflower DT members in the Moonflower Facebook group.

@94f2-08rr man i was looking at your pics of the riley miracle ride thinking to myself “hey i was there” then i noticed…
You have a pic of my bike And one of my helmet lol
The blue cbr with the reflective windscreen is mine lol.
I filmed that whole ride.. Checkout the video if youd like.
youtube.com/borderlinealaska08/05/14 at 7:37 pm #59095
@borderline4alaska – I actually think I remember seeing you there. You may have been parked not far from my initial spot in the staging area… seems as if there was a yellow bike beside you. I watched the edited version not long ago. Again, as oddly as it seems, I remember seeing you ride by as I was coming to Riley, because I noticed the camera… I was on the motorcycle. Lol.08/05/14 at 9:03 pm #59098
@borderline4laska, that’s funny because I was seeing his pictures and then I was seeing yours on your profile and I’m like, hey, I saw that bike at the event ride photos. Yours has the Iridium Windshield right?
What’s also funny is that I was googling images of CBRs with the Iridium Windshield and also saw yours on Google Images ha.08/06/14 at 10:52 am #59127
@94f2-08rr Yeah I remember seeing another cbr. I noticed all the sport bikes because of the 4000 bikes there.. sport bikes arent real common lol. It always seems to be a lot of harley people but thats ok cause I was there with a group of guys.. who were all on harleys, Lol. I love that event. Riley really is an amazing hospital.
Maybe next yea we can meet up. Id like to film it again with more than one camera.
@emcue I tried to find the google image but couldnt. When I first got that windscreen I thought it would be more blue, and was somewhat disappointed it wasn’t, but it has grown on me and I love it now! It gets a lot of compliments and it seems the girls like it cause its shiny, Lol
youtube.com/borderlinealaska08/07/14 at 12:21 am #59157
@borderline4laska, I don’t remember what term I googled exactly but yea, I recall your baby. I got one for my bike but I don’t think I like it. Speaking of… I attempted furiously and unsuccessfully to install the windshield myself today… What a pain in the arse! Also installed the flush mount turn signals. However, I do believe I need the Load Resistor because it blew a fuse. Had to replace the fuse. And I got them cheap on eBay, and the LED lights were very dim compared to the OEM turn signals. So I decided to leave em the way they were.
After I took it half way apart, had to put it back together with no changes made lol. Fun Fun.
It was quite the learning experience tho.08/07/14 at 12:48 am #59158
Ya man the screen on the cbr can be a mf depending on the year/model… I struggled too. Idk what it is with honda and making the fairings and other parts impossible to access. No offense here but i think the japs are like “well we got small hands so it works for us” Lol. And yeah you gotta have a resistor for those man. I had my bike apart yesterday and had to mess with the wiring cause my left blinker quick working.
youtube.com/borderlinealaska08/07/14 at 9:41 am #59170
@borderline4laska, for real! Well I got small hands too but still lol. I couldn’t figure out how to dismantle it to the get the windshield off. The whole lighting has to come off and I couldn’t figure out how to do it. How frustrating. And then after I put everything back…I ended up with 2 screws that I couldn’t see where they went lol!08/07/14 at 2:46 pm #59177
@emcue yeah that happens to me almost everytime I work on my shit I have extra bolts laying around that I dont know where they go. It makes me nervous sometimes wondering if they were important, Lol. You shouldnt have to take all the lighting off for the screen though, I struggled with mine but i did it without taking anything else off.
youtube.com/borderlinealaska08/07/14 at 3:25 pm #59182
@borderline4laska, haha I wondered the same. Maybe one day I’ll be riding and something’s gonna fly off ha. SMH.
I googled how to do it on my CBR250R and it said I had to take the nose off, I take it the nose is the lighting?08/07/14 at 5:50 pm #59184
@emcue oh its a 250r yeah Im not real familiar with those but I would guess if the nose comes off the headlight will have to also. Some of these bikes, like the f4i, the nose piece and headlight stay together. so when removing the nose you have to unplug the light and remove it with it. Good luck man, these things can be a PITA I know. Its better than paying somebody else to fuck it up though thats my opinion, Lol
And Im with you on the pars flying off Lol, whenever I work on my bike, afterwords I take it easy incase I fucked something up I dont have to pay too high of a price lol. I changed fairings on a bike once and forgot to finish bolting on the mirrors, and found out the hard way after the first ride I took Lol
youtube.com/borderlinealaska08/07/14 at 6:19 pm #59186
@borderline4laska, yea when I searched how to do it, it pretty much said to take off the lighting and everything. I took everything off except the headlight. I got to that part and then was lost lol. I didn’t have enough time to figure it out so I just put everything back together so eff it. Lol. I’ll try again another day. I think Ima just sell the Iridium windshield and get a black one. Don’t think it goes with my moto.
I had the slip on exhaust installed today. Yesss and it sounds sweet!!!!08/07/14 at 6:21 pm #59187
@94f2-08rr, bruh! I got the slip on installed today.08/07/14 at 8:59 pm #5918908/08/14 at 12:16 am #59196
Nice! And congratulations. How difficult was the job?
I didn’t do it myself….lol..I had the dealer install it. It sounds so sexy now!08/17/14 at 11:32 am #59812
Well, it wasn’t today, but yesterday I woke up at 4a.m. to ride almost two hours so that I could capture the sunrise over a field of sunflowers. It was a brisk ride to say the least. A temperature of 50 degrees Fahrenheit, or a little less since I was in the outlying areas.
Although I didn’t get exactly what I wanted, I am happy with some of them:
And, for once, I made an attempt to step out of my comfort zone. Typically, I only stop at places that I know to eat. I was in an unfamiliar place and decided to try a “Mom and Pop” place… I was looking forward to homemade pancakes, bacon, eggs, biscuits and gravy. Well, the nearest town is small and the places were not open yet. So, I started on my way home and stopped at a chain restaurant.08/17/14 at 12:35 pm #5981508/21/14 at 4:12 pm #59968

I love the DZUS fasteners I installed a couple of weeks back, they make it so much easier to take the plastics off.
Oil filter is now cleaned, just have to wait for it to dry now.
Tomorrow will be an oil change then I’ll mount the new tires. Once that is finished I will give it a good look over to get it ready to take to the track Monday and Tuesday.08/21/14 at 9:56 pm #5998008/22/14 at 7:21 pm #59991

Went out this morning had a flat on the rear tire :DAMN: pumped it up took it to the local shop, had them repair the tire had 2 nails in it. Had them check the rear bearings they were going bad, also had them install the sideways valve stems so much easier to add air especially in the front. Yes I know need to clean the bike

Word! Dzus fasteners are invaluable on a track/race bike!
By the way, good luck on your next track excursion, and I’m actually a little jealous, as no tracks anywhere NEAR me have track day options during the week… weekend only.

Today I took a short ride for a picture game challenge and ordered a Core Moto SS rear brake line. Hopefully when it comes in I can get the CRF mod to work out.08/24/14 at 9:05 pm #60098
Congrats @jnsracing. How many more races will you have?
I rode my bike to the gym this afternoon, but that isn’t what I want to share. Last weekend on my sunrise picture hunting, I hit a milestone on the bike. I bought the bike in December of 2012 with ~4,800mi. On August 16, 2014, I hit 20,000mi.! I don’t get to ride as often as I would like, or for as long as I would prefer, so I am pretty excited and proud. And pay no mind to the time. I haven’t reset the clock from two months ago when my battery was dead. Mileage is now at ~20,200mi.08/24/14 at 9:50 pm #60101
@94f2-08rr congrats on the milestone. I just hit 20k on mine this year. She had 4475 on her when I picked her up. Unfortunately it’s actually 8 due to an engine swap.08/25/14 at 9:30 am #60116
Today I took a short ride for a picture game challenge and ordered a Core Moto SS rear brake line. Hopefully when it comes in I can get the CRF mod to work out.
Thanks man… and what is this CRF mod of which you speak?
Two races at HPT, in two weeks time, and two more races in October, in Kentucky.

@jnsracing it’s a rear res delete. The CRF rear master cylinder has one built in. So you can get rid of that ridiculous box and line factory setup. I had it on before but couldn’t get it to bleed.08/25/14 at 10:23 am #60118

Gotcha… have you thought about just doing the Tygon tube method, which is a common race mod? It’s quick and easy, and cheaper too… here it is on my bike:

@jnsracing yeah I have thought about it. The CRF just looks stock to me. Plus I already have the master cylinder. I got it for like $15 on ebay and it came with a neat cooler on it.
I cleaned it up and painted the MC black since these pics where taken. Kinda neat that the cooler just happened to be orange. I looked it up after I got it and turns out it’s a $150 part. WIN for me.08/25/14 at 9:58 pm #60133

Guess Who’s Bizack: Tamika Catchings
Last year GladiatHers™ got a pretty wonderful opportunity to sit down with living basketball legend Tamika Catchings following her announcement that she would be retiring after the 2016 WNBA season. Outside of reflecting on her retirement and career, Tamika talked to us about her longstanding participation in the AllState WBCA Good Works Team®, a program that recognizes basketball student-athletes who give back to their communities through community service. Last week AllState announced the names of the members of this year’s Team, so Tamika is back to sit with Gladiathers.com to share about the new team and her experience selecting the ladies. Check out what she had to say:
Thanks for sitting down with Gladiathers.com again. We’re really exciting to learn more about The AllState WBCA Good Works Team®. What was it like trying to narrow the list of nominees down to the winning student-athletes?
Well, thank God it’s not just me! We had a record setting 103 nominations from schools across the nation. So there were a lot of great student-athletes to choose from. The Team is composed of 10 student-athletes who play college basketball. We were responsible for choosing 5 NCAA Division I student-athletes and 5 student-athletes from NCAA Divisions II and III and the NAIA. I went through some and there were about six or seven other people who also reviewed submissions. So we were able to do it as a team. The really awesome and tough thing is that we had such a good group to choose from, so that made the work of making the selections fun and interesting. All of the ladies actually deserved to be recognized. Unfortunately, we only had the opportunity to choose ten, but I really hope all of the nominees know that no matter what, whether they get recognized or not, the things they are doing in their individual communities go a long way. It’s important that these ladies keep up the work they’re doing because it really does make a difference.
That’s so true. Every little bit helps. So can you tell us a little bit about some of the ladies who made the team?
Absolutely. One of the ladies is Katarina Vuckovic from the Georgia Institute of Technology. She traveled to the Dominican Republic with 17 other student-athletes to help build homes, and she regularly devotes her time to the Ronald McDonald House, the Jacket 2 Jacket reading program and the Girls on the Run program. So she does a great deal of work in Georgia.
Another one of the ladies is Courtnee Walton from the University of Lousiville. She volunteers with the Family Scholar House, an organization that provides academic and family support to disadvantaged families. Another really cool thing that she does is she mentors girls who struggle with emotional and behavioral disabilities. That particular aspect of her work is very close to my heart because one of the big things we focus on at my foundation, Catch the Stars, is mentoring. We actually have quite a few ladies who participate in mentoring programs so it’s really great to see so many student-athletes leading the way through mentoring.
We also have some great ladies representing our Division II, III and NAIA schools. For instance, we have Deanna Busse from St. Ambrose University; a strong volunteer for the Love Your Melon Foundation. She brought the organization to her school’s campus and donated more than 60 hats to be given to children battling cancer. She’s a great lady who does a lot of amazing work on campus and in the area surrounding the university.
The ladies really sound amazing. So now that they’ve been officially named to the AllState WBCA Good Works Team®, what’s next for these ladies?
Well, we’ll all meet up in Indianapolis at this year’s Final Four. This is actually the first year that the NCAA Division I, II & III championships will be played in the same weekend, so the weekend will definitely be packed with excitement. We’ll meet up in Indianapolis and they’ll get honored at the Division I championship game on Sunday and then we’ll get back together again on Monday and do a community service event. After that, it’s back to class for them. But I’m really excited honoring this year’s team. We always have a good time, and it’s great to get to learn more about the ladies and their experiences and to have a chance to celebrate them.
That sounds like it’s going to be a lot of fun. So since we’re talking about the Final Four, let us know your picks for this year’s Division I Final Four.
Well of course I’m a bit biased. Even though they aren’t ranked really high, I always hold out hope and belief for my Lady Vols. I believe that once they make it to the tournament, anything is possible. So I’m pulling for them to be there, but outside of the Lady Vols, I have to pick Connecticut and South Carolina. What Coach Geno Auriemma has done consistently with the Lady Huskies is amazing. I know lots of people moan and groan because they’re number 1 and undefeated so often, but it really is a difficult task to stay number 1 and to play with so much consistency year after year. And for South Carolina, what Dawn Staley has done with that program is incredible. They’re playing exciting, smart basketball. So yeah, Tennessee, UConn and South Carolina are my picks.
Well I sincerely thank you for giving us a little bit of your time to chat about this year’s AllState WBCA Good Works Team®. And thank you for being such an active participant in a program that encourages young people to give back and paints young GladiatHers™ in such a positive light. We’ll definitely be tuning in to this year’s Final Four and to watch your last season in the WNBA.
Guys and gals if you’d like to see the complete list of student-athletes who made this year’s Team, click here. But also make sure you keep up with Tamika in 2016. She’s got a lot of things moving and shaking. In the midst of balancing her career, she continues to do selfless work through Catch the Stars Foundation. And don’t forget to cop her new book, Catch a Star: Shining Through Adversity to Become a Champion. It hits stores and the internet on March 1, just in time for March Madness.

As some of you may be aware at the beginning of this year I decided to get off the couch and get fit. Part of my goal was to be able to run the 5 km fun run held during the Auckland marathon. When I first started running in march my PT (personal trainer) Ming asked me to run for 15 min. Well after 6 minutes I couldn't breath and had to lie down!
So here I am less than 1 km to go and feeling comfortable and relaxed.
Yes I did it!
I was so surprised at how easy it was. I finished 2nd in my age group and 25th out of 195 women! So now I have a new goal to run a little further. I must mention my friend Catherine who ran the whole marathon again this year! She's amazing.

This large group of women are all waiting in line to use their human toilets and the longer they have to wait, the worse their massive shits are going to be. Each woman takes a turn sitting on the comfortable toilet seat and unleashes her shit and piss right into the mouth of the waiting slave below. Once she finishes, she plops her ass right down on the next slave who licks her asshole and pussy clean.
Again Mistress Gaia feeds her greedy slavegirl with her creamy shit. And she should handle it carefully to keep the floor clean. This is just how it all starts. Her bitch is already used to the tasty flavor of her goddesses scat, and now she gets a nice surprise because either way she gets whipped for...what for? There's no reason needed. If Mistress Gaia wants to hurt her, she will hurt her. No matter what.
Normally the mistress loves to shit all over her slave's face so that it runs deep into his cells like a face mask. But today she just wants to shit into his mouth. She's so in love with this idea that she can't think of something else, and her slave opens his mouth wide for her satisfaction. She only hears the sound of her leaving sausage and then of his mouth that catches it underneath her ass... this turns her on.

celebrating Christmas for the little man
The husband and I have not decided whether we should put up our tree or not. What we have decided is that we will buy presents for the little man. He said we will wrap every present we get for him and wait until Christmas day for him to open all. I wonder where we will put the presents if the tree is not up. He agreed it does pose a problem. I suggested we will get plastic balls and decorations because most of the decorations were broken last year when the little man played with them. We might even just get us a smaller tree because what we have is pretty tall. We still have to talk more about what to do to remedy the situation. I want a smaller tree but I hate to throw the old one away. It is still pretty and with a little tlc it will surely look like new. We only have a few days so we better come up with a plan real fast. I hope the little man will get presents from people he cares about.

You don’t need any experience to get started. We offer an intro class that is designed for the person with little or no experience. There is very little contact and we focus on all the fundamentals that you need to get going.
No. The spirit of martial arts was, and still is in this gym, to empower the “weaker” and give them the tools they need to lead a better life. That wouldn’t be very easy if we drove them away when they first come in.
Anyone is free to join the advanced class when they feel comfortable in doing so. We recommend that everyone start in the intro class to get the feel and atmosphere of the gym. The advanced class moves at a little faster pace and the technique is more advanced. The advanced class also includes sparring and live wrestling and some people need some time to get used to it.
Nothing outside of what you would normally see in any other physical activity. We train hard but fun and safety are major concerns. No one likes being hurt.
Everyone’s life is different. I personally put a very high value on being able to defend myself and the ones I care about as well as being physically fit. You will always make time for the things that you place value on. Our classes are very organized and structured so that the time that you spend here will be dedicated to your training.
No. Flexibility and coordination can be trained. Also, every body type has pluses and minuses. You just need to find the style that fits your body.

Attend for 4 Classes for only $20!

July 8'th. 2018 Cadenza (for one very popular piece)
Fragment of the concert from my archive.
The case when the cadenza is more interesting than the composition itself. The cameraman was so polite to switch the camera to Oleg Belov from the general plan at the end, because I tore off my bandoneon and nearly hit Vladimir Kirasirov into the nose by the inertia.
Dear bandoneonists, check the condition of the straps before the concert. :)

Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc believes that Mats Hummels is Germany’s best centre-back.
National team coach Joachim Loew appears to be undecided as to who will partner Holger Badstuber in Germany’s opening game against Portugal on June 9, and Zorc feels that Hummels deserves the nod ahead of Arsenal defender Per Mertesacker.
“If there’s one thing that the Dortmund players are perhaps missing, it could be their lack of international experience,” Zorc stated to Kicker.
“The national team coach should know that he can rely on our players, though. And on Mats Hummels in particular, he’s Germany’s best centre-back.”
The 23-year-old Hummels signed a contract extension on Sunday that will keep him at the Bundesliga champions until June 2017.

Serves: 8 as part of a share platter
Bobby Flay isn’t a household name in Australia though the reverse is true in America where he is a superstar of cooking.
I first heard about him on Iron Chef America and despite his good looks and cool swagger, this is not a man you want to challenge in the kitchen. From memory, he never lost a challenge.
Anyway, this is his eggplant dip and whilst there is a little effort to it, it has a subtle, sophisticated and really fine flavour to it. I grilled some Turkish bread brushed will olive oil and served that with the dip and that Oliver had five in quick succession tells you volumes.
Impress your mates and serve this up fresh next time they’re around. Better still if you have good looks and cool swagger.
P.S. I didn’t oil the vegetables to cut down on calories and I saw no downside. Except less calories! Oh, and really do try to serve this fresh or if refrigerated, allow time to come back to room temperature and give a good stir to combine.
1 red pepper (capsicum)
¼ c canola oil
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
1 large or 2 medium eggplant, ends trimmed and sliced lengthwise, 2cm thick
2 cloves garlic
¼ c tahini
¼ c Greek (fat-free) yoghurt
¼ c extra virgin olive oil
Grated zest of 1 lemon
1 tbsp chopped, fresh oregano
1 tsp hot smoked paprika
¼ c chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Pita breads or Turkish breads, brushed with olive oil, heated on the grill to serve
- Heat a grill to medium. Brush the red pepper with some of the canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Brush the eggplant slices on both sides with more of the canola oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Grill the eggplant until charred on the first side; around 3 minutes. Turn and continue grilling until tender; around 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a chopping board.
- Grill the red pepper, turning occasionally until charred all over and tender; around 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, cover tightly with cling wrap and let steam while you make the eggplant puree.
- Smash the garlic cloves, sprinkle them with salt and mash and smear them to a paste using the side of a knife.
- Remove the skin from the eggplant and transfer the flesh to a food processor. Add garlic paste, tahini, yoghurt, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and the lemon zest, oregano and smoked paprika. Process until smooth and thick. Add salt to taste and transfer to a serving bowl and let sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavours to meld.
- Peel, seed and dice the red pepper.
- Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over the dip (I gave this a miss), top with the diced peppers and chopped parsley and serve with the warm pita, lavash or grilled Turkish bread.

Town Head Coach Luke Williams spoke to members of the local media on Wednesday ahead of his side’s Good Friday clash against AFC Wimbledon. Here's what he had to say...
“Neal Ardley knows his team very, very well and how to get the best out of them and he’s proved that,” he said.
“To come up and stabilise and become a good solid side in League One in your first season at this level is brilliant.
“There won’t be any loose change for us and we will have to make sure that we bring our best to the table in order to get anything from this side.
“Neal Ardley will be telling his players to make sure that they keep their standards high, to make sure that they respect their fans and they will be looking to close off their season in style in order to build momentum for next year.
“That’s the type of manager that he is, he’s professional and it is unfortunate for us because we would like to play against a team who are already on holiday, but that’s not the case because there are too many good professionals.
“There is a focus around the squad and the players are at it every day. I’ve been very impressed with them in training and they believe that we will be fine come the end of the season.”
Town have four games left in which to secure League One safety and Williams has once again stressed that everyone is up for the cause.
“We’ve put the maximum amount of pressure on ourselves that we possibly could, but we’ve responded well in recent weeks and we’ve reacted well when we seemed to be completely all at sea,” he added.
“We were seven points from safety at one point but at the moment we are only three points from safety, so we’re trying and fighting.
“That point last weekend was valuable because we are one win away from potentially catching people and maybe even climbing out of the relegation zone, so that was huge.
“We have to continue to be in every single game and make sure that we give ourselves the very best possible chance of getting all the points.”

Thank you Lala for helping to do my hair this morning!
Mama said she would look into picking up a little gel to do my hair more often.
I will look like a rock star!!!
If you get to do your hair funky Bro-Ther, what do I get to do for fun?
Oh I know Bro-Ther...
I get to go around without pants like my hero Abby Cadabby!
HAHAHAH Sis, that is hilarious!
Yup, I thought it was pretty funny!
Sis, do you think mom and dad will let you get away with that?
They don't have a choice Bro-Ther.
How do you figure Sis?
I will just keep taking my pants off when they put them on...
Sis, I tired that, it doesn't work.
They haven't worked with me yet, it WILL work!
We will see sis!
Yes, we will!
MOM, DAD SIS TOOK HER PANTS OFF!!!!
I see them putting pants back on you Sis, I bet they use duct tape on those too!
Don't look at me like that, I am cute! Just watch this video Sis, it will make you smile and forgive me!
Mom's notes -
Gabriel is showing off. I am not sure how much I am allowed to let him try without taking us backward. He continues to want to try new things.
In Gabriel's words:
OOOO dad, what do you have?
Salmon, I have never tried salmon...
Give me a little piece Daddy, think of it as finely chopped.
Wow, that was tasty, let me see if there is any left on your plate.
Just a little bit more...
Yes, he ate a couple very little pieces of salmon. We weren't sure about letting him have any of it but he kept asking. Finally we decided to give him a very small piece that he wouldn't have to chew. He did not gag and he liked it enough to ask for more and when it was all gone he tried to get any little pieces that were left. WOW! I don't want him to go against his therapy. I never imagined he would ask for food or even try it therefore I never asked if we should let him try other foods.
