Just when you thought things couldn’t get crazier in this Philly Pastor Jomo K. Johnson vs. Meek Mill story, the pastor behind those Meek Mill diss songs has released a 60 page long book for $2.99 on Amazon.com titled No Amen: Why Boycotting Meek Mill Will Save Hip Hop. Check out the Pastor’s book cover above, then read the book’s synopsis below and read a bit of the crazy book’s first chapter after the jump. Is Jomo K. Johnson really out to save Hip Hop or is he just a psychopath looking for some fame? If you missed it listen to the audio of Meek Mill and Jomo K. Johnson‘s live radio argument here.
Pastor and Author Jomo K. Johnson calls for a boycott against Rapper Meek Mill for his recent song, “Amen” which demeans God and the church. Johnson reveals the spiritual roots of Hip Hop by showing its early beginning before contrasting that to its current dangerous state. This call to action shows its readers that the only thing that will change the current artistic, moral, and spiritual decline of Hip Hop, is fans refusing to support artists that degrade God, faith, and religion in their music.
Preview the book after the break.

Nation mourns Dr. Sarfraz Naeemi’s loss
Yesterday, the Namaz-e-Janazah (funeral prayers) of Dr. Sarfraz Naeemi, who was martyred in a suicide attack this Friday, was offered and attended by thousands at the same Jamia Naeemia Madrassah which he used to head. Markets and commercial centres were closed in all major cities and towns in the renowned cleric’s memory as the whole nation mourned his loss.

Through this incident, the militants have given this war a major turn towards the moderates. Dr. Sarfraz was a progressive cleric who had issued fatwas against suicide bombings and killing of innocent men, women and children by the terrorist activities of the Taliban.
Dr. Naeemi’s loss has now enraged a significant section of society, the moderate religious lot, who are now going to follow the respected cleric’s footsteps by denouncing terrorism and extremism in all its forms. This would add more weight to the support gained by the government’s army offensive against miscreants in the troubled tribal areas plus Swat. The result might be hugely encouraging if the army is really succeeding in operation ‘Rah-e-Raast’. If it is not the case, we might see millions more becoming homeless, displaced and turning into possible recruits for furthering the terrorists’ agenda.
And we also need to stay vigilant against forces who may take this as an opportunity of igniting sectarian violence and hatred among our own people; a possibility that was seen for real at its ugliest in the Iraq war.

Optimizing Animated GIFs / Background
Background and Foreground
Optimizing Animated GIFs
When we designed Cool Central, we wanted an eye-catching look with lots of movement, but fast download times. We settled on a goal of 30Kb total per page. We decided on a single visual theme, an iceberg, with melted portholes showing movement outside the berg; see Figure 4. The first two pages of Cool Central have four animations, a static logo, and a seamless background "ice" JPEG. By feathering our foreground graphics we were able to make the background graphic appear as the foreground, and the foreground graphics appear as the background (got that?). After countless hours of tweaking we finally got the seamless appearance we wanted, but without the long download times associated with large one-screen graphics. After deducting for our 1.2K background and the 4K of text we realized we would have make each GIF no greater that 5K in file size.
Penguin on a low-pixel diet
In conventional GIF animation, each additional full-size frame adds a significant percentage to the file size ((1/number of frames)*100). With seven frames, our mascot penguin took 21Kb (Figure 1) and waddled across the screen. In order to meet our goal of no more than 5K per animation we had to find a way to cut the file size by more than a factor of four.
|The secret of shrinking animated GIFs is to save only the parts of the animation that change from frame to frame.|
Since animated GIFs are essentially multiple GIFs with timing and transparency information, the same optimization principles apply: minimize colors and maximize crop. The secret of shrinking animated GIFs is to save only the parts of the animation that change from frame to frame. By overlaying these changes on an initial full-sized "backdrop" frame you can create animations that appear identical to the full-frame version but are dramatically smaller.
Minimize Key Frames
What you end up with is an initial full-sized "key" frame and several "motion" frames. This is a well-established technique used in game animation. Once you crop the motion frames, they become a much smaller percentage of the file's size. In our case the key frame is 2948 bytes, while the motion frames range from 395 to 629 bytes. Strategically, there's more to gain by optimizing the 3000 byte key frame than the six motion frames, unless there are a lot of motion frames. So you can see the importance of minimizing the color palette and complexity of the initial frame.
What distinguishes the different animation programs is how efficiently they handle color palettes and frame changes. First we'll reduce the color palette, then we'll concentrate on paring the pixels per pane.

As Raymond Buehler gears up for the United Way of Allegheny County’s annual fundraising effort, he’s taking a play from last year’s campaign when the agency generated nearly $34 million in contributions and topped the prior year’s total by 2.3 percent.
“We’ll ask donors to give 105 percent of [what they did last year],” said Mr. Buehler. “I think that’s a good concept and I think 5 percent is not that unreasonable to ask from corporations and individual donors.”
Mr. Buehler, chairman of accounting and business advisory firm Schneider Downs & Co. and chair of United Way’s 2014-15 appeal, credited last year’s campaign chair, Kim Tillotson Fleming, with successfully urging donors to dig deeper and increase their contributions by 5 percent.
“I’m very hopeful, even optimistic,” he said in an interview last week hours before United Way launched its annual campaign with a field goal kicking contest during a Steelers preseason game at Heinz Field.
“We’re on the other side of the recession and we’ve had the Marcellus Shale [drilling industry] move into the community. I don’t see us going backward.”
Last year was the fourth consecutive year the local United Way increased contributions generated through the campaign, which is focused largely on workplace fundraising events at about 700 local companies. Corporate donations increased by 4 percent last year.
While charitable contributions nationwide have rebounded somewhat since the economic crash in 2008, donations still lag pre-recession levels, according to an annual report from the Giving USA Foundation. That report, released in June, said giving by individuals, corporations, foundations and bequests totaled $335.2 billion in 2013, compared with $349.5 billion in 2007.
Individuals and corporations in the Pittsburgh region have remained loyal contributors to United Way, Mr. Buehler said, because it allows donors to target specific areas where they want their dollars to go to work, with options such as the Women’s Leadership Council, which assists females in crisis; the Impact Fund, which focuses on community needs including at-risk children and seniors; or specific nonprofits of the donor’s choice.
“You don’t have to be a thought leader on where to invest your money,” he said. “United Way does that work for you.”
Mr. Buehler joined United Way’s board of directors two years ago. Earlier this year, his firm received the Fred Rogers Good Neighbor Award for its participation in United Way initiatives, including a financial mentoring program and free tax return preparation for low-income individuals and families.
Philanthropy and service are basic tenets of his firm’s corporate culture, he said, because Schneider Downs generates about 10 percent of its annual revenues from nonprofit clients, including local museums, universities and human service organizations such as Brother’s Brother Foundation.
The firm, based in One PPG Place, Downtown, has 280 employees in Pittsburgh and 90 in Columbus, Ohio.
“From the day a person starts here, we talk about doing something in the community — just volunteering at something and picking a cause,” Mr. Buehler said.
The firm’s shareholders want its auditors, tax advisers and technology consultants to develop a personal “care factor,” he said. “It helps in your whole ability to understand the client. We stand behind their causes. We’re serving the nonprofit community and serving inside of it.”

DAVAO CITY (MindaNews/15 July) – “Transitional Justice? What’s that?“
The Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro (FAB) signed between the Philippine government (GPH) and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) provides for a transitional justice mechanism that would “address the legitimate grievances of the Bangsamoro people, correct historical injustices, and address human rights violations” but what that means for the Bangsamoro and the Moro, indigenous peoples and settlers living in the new political entity is still a work in progress.
In fact, the Annex on Normalization signed in January this year, provides that the Transitional Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC) that would be created, will “undertake a study and recommend to the Panels the appropriate mechanisms.”
While there have been some discussions and opinion pieces on transitional justice in the Bangsamoro, “Moving Beyond: Towards Transitional Justice in the Bangsamoro Peace Process” launched Monday at the Apo View Hotel here is the first publication specifically devoted to Transitional Justice in the Bangsamoro context.
The 55-page publication, described by Ateneo de Davao University president, Fr. Joel Tabora as “very important” and a “compulsory reading,” aims to contribute to a wider and deeper discourse on transitional justice in the Bangsamoro, familiarize readers with current debates in the field of transitional justice in general, share lessons learned from post-conflict areas like Aceh, and open the discussion on “particular opportunities, concerns, and entry points for doing transitional justice based on local understandings of truth, justice, and reparations.”
Published by forumZFD (Forum Civil Peace Service), a German NGO that has been working on conflict transformation work in Mindanao since 2008, “Moving Beyond..” has three parts: Transitional Justice as an evolving concept, Regional experiences and lessons learned, and Towards transitional justice in the Bangsamoro peace process.
In the first part, Jasmina Brankovic and Hugo van der Merwe of the Centre for Study of Violence and Reconciliation in South Africa, discuss “Transitional Justice in Post-Conflict Societies: Conceptual Foundations and Debates;” while Rosario Figari Layus talks about “Implementing Transitional Justice: Insights from Latin America.”
The second part has GaluhWandita, co-founder and director of Asia Justice and Rights (AJAR), writing about “Lessons from Aceh for Mindanao: Notes from the Field.” It also features an interview with Ruben Carranza, Director of the Reparative Justice Program at the International Center for Transitional Justice in New York, who delivered the keynote address at the launch.
“Not a separate notion of justice”
In the third part, Rosa Cordillera Castillo, a doctoral fellow in Social and Cultural Anthropology at the Berlin Graduate School Muslim Cultures and Societies at Freie Universitat Berlin, talks about “Perspectives on Truth, Justice, Reparation, and
Reconciliation in Central Mindanao;” Marian Pastor Roces, a cultural critic and independent curator based in Manila discusses “Fine Grain and Big Picture;” and Jurma Tikmasan, chair of the Nisa Ul Haqq Fi Bangsamoro, writes about “Lived Realities and Transitional Justice in the island provinces of Western Mindanao.”
In his presentation at the launch, Carranza narrated that when he talks about transitional justice, he makes it a point “to make sure it is not seen as a separate notion of justice.”
“Nobody ever comes forward to say ‘we want transitional justice,’” he said, adding victims of armed conflict or a dictatorship will say “we want justice.”
He explained that justice is usually equated with courts “but what if you talk about 50, 60 years of injustice or so massive in terms of number, in terms of latitude of violations experienced, do you go to the courts? Do you for instance ask people in the Bangsamoro who were victimized by armed conflict to sue in the regional trial court of Ctoabato? How many cases would that entail? It is even possible to litigate these cases, to go to the courts and resolve these questions?”
Carranza said transitional justice “is a way of addressing injustices that does not rely solely on courts, that does not depend only on the judicial process whether it is criminal litigation or civil litigation.”
He said the prosecution mechanism should be integrated with truth-seeking, reparations program and institutional reforms, the idea of “Nunca mas” or never again.”
Tabora, in his welcome address said “Moving Beyond” is a “very important publication” and a “compulsory reading.”
“It is about doing transitional justice: doing what is necessary in justice to transition from a situation of hostility and conflict to a situation of peace,” but acknowledged that “it is not easy.”
“It involves people who are still alive, punishing perpetrators of injustice and atrocities of war, managing impunity, encouraging truth-telling, getting victims to participate in evolving transitional justice solutions, offering reparations, and the like. It is not easy, because it doesn’t always work. And the transition from conflict to peace sometimes even involves measured forgiveness and empowering love,” he said.
For Tabora, “Moving Beyond….” is “as provocative as it is exploratory, as certain as it is tentative” as it discusses the concept of transitional justice, experiences in trying to implement it, and its requirements in the context of the Bangsamoro, “that is why it is profoundly disturbing.”
A future with hope
In his foreword, Cardinal Orlando Quevedo, Archbishop of Cotabato, said a close reading of the articles “will help significantly in understanding the transition of Mindanao towards a future with hope.”
As a religious leader, he said his emphasis is “not on the legal aspects of transitional justice, but on moral obligations and accountability.”
“Justice is of course a moral virtue. Yet it is often understood simply in its legal sense. What is legal and what is moral is separated by a very fine thread, but the separation is nonetheless present. What is legal may not always be moral, granting the operations of different moral traditions in various religions in Mindanao,” he said.
In her foreword, Raissa Jajurie, a member of the Bangsamoro Transition Commission, said “Moving Beyond…” will enrich the discourse in the Bangsamoro on transitional justice, “towards designing and implementing a program that would propel the process for addressing justice issues, facilitate the healing process, and inspire genuine reconciliation.”
“Only when we are able to deal with the past can we fully face the challenges of building a Bangsamoro that is just, harmonious, and progressive,” Jajurie said.
In his foreword, Teduray Timuay Santos Unsad, Deputy Supreme Tribal Chief of the Timuay Justice and Governance, said they view the establishment of the Bangsamoro as the political entity that would replace the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), as “a golden opportunity of development and improved living conditions for us Indigenous Peoples, provided that our inherent and legislated rights will be entrenched in the Bangsamoro Basic Law.”
“It is in this context that a transitional justice program should give prime attention towards Indigenous Peoples’ experiences of historical injustices, particularly regarding land tenure, to attain just peace and reconciliation in Central Mindanao, the future Bangsamoro Political Entity and in Mindanao in general,” Unsad said.

Accident At Work Claim
You may not think of the workplace as being a dangerous environment, but it can be. Every year, there are well over a hundred thousand injuries from work accidents and millions of people suffer ill health as a result of their job. This is very sad when these accidents and injuries could have been prevented and when they are due to the fault or negligence of somebody else.
Employers have a duty and legal obligation to provide their employers with a safe working environment and to keep their workers from harm. Obviously accidents can and do happen, but employers have to take the appropriate preventative measures to minimize or eliminate the risk of accidents.
It's not just construction sites and chemical plants that are dangerous - every year, many people are hurt in office environments too!
Common workplace accidents include:-
- RSI - Repetitive Strain Injury can be caused by repetitive movements like writing or typing.
- Electrical accidents - Electric shocks and burns can be caused by all sorts of things including faulty machinery, poor wiring etc.
- Slips, trips and falls - These types of accidents can be caused by things like spillages, trailing wires, clutter and ladders not being used properly.
- Manual handling accidents - If employees are not trained to lift things correctly, they can suffer with back injuries, sprains and strains.
- Head injuries - These can result from accidents like shelves collapsing or loads falling.
- Traffic accidents - Employees or members of the public can be hit by works vehicles like forklift trucks.
- Hazardous substances - Working with hazardous substances can put employees at risk from injuries like chemical burns and chronic industrial diseases.
If you have suffered an injury from an accident at work, through no fault of your own, you could claim personal injury compensation. Compensation can really help if your injury has left you unable to work, having to retrain for another career or with long term health problems or pain. You should not feel guilty for making a compensation claim because your employer will have the appropriate liability insurance to cover such claims and they really should have kept you safe.
If you are worried about repercussions like victimisation in the workplace or the possibility of losing your job because you are claiming, you really do not need to worry. There are strict employment laws to prevent this type if discrimination from happening and to protect your job.
Claiming Compensation for Accidents at Work
To be able to claim personal injury compensation successfully, you'll need to prove that your accident was the fault of another employee or the negligence of your employer. You will also need to provide proof of your injury.
Seek the services of a personal injury solicitor as soon as you possibly can after your accident, so that you know what evidence you need to provide and so that they can start building your case. Crucial evidence to support your case can include:-
- Employer's Log - You should have reported your accident immediately so that it could be recorded in the log.
- Witness statements - Statements from other employees or members of the public who witnessed your accident can really help. Try to get these as soon as possible after the work accident so that things are fresh in their minds.
- Medical records - Records like ambulance attendance and records of your injuries from your GP or the hospital can be crucial in supporting your case.
- Evidence of other accidents in the workplace - Do you know of any accidents that have happened previously? If so, get statements from those involved as this will show that your employer has not learned from past experience and is negligent.
- Expert evidence - If your accident was caused by poorly maintained or faulty machinery, it can be very helpful to have evidence from an engineer.
- Evidence of any expenses or losses you have incurred - This can include prescription charges, private medical bills, complementary therapy bills, past pay slips to show what earnings have been lost during your recovery and out-of-pocket expense receipts.
All of this documentation will help your injury lawyer to build a strong case on your behalf, particularly if your injury is not one of the more common, and therefore easier to claim for, types of injuries.
Many personal injury lawyers will be able to work on a conditional agreement (no win no fee) basis, which reduces your risk in claiming compensation. Make sure you choose an experienced specialist personal injury solicitor.

In a massive left-wing hit-piece disguised as objective news (Welcome to Mark Halperin and John Heilemann’s Bloomberg Politics!), the popular A&E reality series “Duck Dynasty” is blamed for education cuts in the state of Louisiana. This dishonest headline reads: “Duck Dynasty’ Keeps Tax Break as Bobby Jindal Cuts Louisiana Colleges.” Here’s the opening paragraph:
Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, a potential Republican presidential candidate, is trying to close a $1.6 billion budget hole without touching as much as $415,000 per episode in tax breaks that may be due to “Duck Dynasty.”
The article eventually goes on to point out that Louisiana, like many states, offers up to a quarter billion — with a “B” — dollars in corporate welfare to Hollywood. “Duck Dynasty” averages about 12 episodes a season. That adds up to around $6 million in tax breaks per year, or a drop in the bucket that adds up to around 2.4% of that $250 million.
Weird how Bloomberg Politics’ co-managing editors Mark Halperin and John Heilemann make millions selling their books to HBO, and yet this story doesn’t mention the Louisiana tax breaks HBO has received, from “Treme” to “True Detective.”
Any by “weird,” I of course mean, corrupt.
Nowhere does the article mention that Halperin and Heilemann’s benefactors at HBO enjoy the same tax breaks as “Duck Dynasty.”
If Bloomberg Politics can single out and polarize “Duck Dynasty,” that might mean more money for HBO.
Cronyism, it’s what makes the one-percent the one-percent.
This is nothing more than Bloomberg Politics launching a hate campaign against “Duck Dynasty.” There’s an obvious tactical reason Bloomberg blames a conservative Christian reality show for diabolical “education cuts” as opposed to the institution of Hollywood itself — the real culprit here. (I am on record for years opposing all corporate welfare, including Hollywood.)
All across the country, Hollywood fat cats enjoy massive tax cuts and incentives carved out for the super-rich. But Hollywood is a left-wing institution that Bloomberg Politics would never blame for education cuts. Moreover, the guys in charge of Bloomberg Politics also have a cozy relationship with Hollywood, specifically the corporate welfare queens at HBO that have also benefited from Louisiana’s tax breaks.
To distract from these facts, Bloomberg Politics Emmauel Goldsteins the Godtards.

β is found as early as 2nd century BC per Grundy
Grundy1, who I've just started reading, says that the use of β to transcribe Latin V is attested in inscriptions as early as the 2nd century BC. Furthermore, Grundy says β is found 14% of the time as the transcription of Latin V in manuscripts of Polybius, who wrote in the second century BC.
Grundy gives the following percentages for β as a transcription of V in Greek inscriptions in first two centuries BC and second two centuries AD:
- 2nd Century BC Inscriptions: 27% (only a small sample: 4 with β, 11 with ου)
- 1st Century BC Inscriptions: 34%
- 1st Century AD Inscriptions: 29%
- 2nd Century AD Inscriptions: 33%
He also gives percentages for its occurrence in manuscripts of specific authors, such as Josephus (31%) Plutarch (49%), Dionysus of Halicarnassus (30%) and Diodorus (36%).
There is more data in the paper, which you can read at the link.
I found the data that Grundy reports surprising and I'm not sure why their implications for the timeline of the [w] > [v] change are not discussed more in more recent literature.
I did find the following article that, citing Grundy among others, argues that the change of Latin [w] to [β] had begun by the year 200BC: "The Greek Transliteration and Pronunciation of the Latin Consonant U", by Bradley Buszard, Glotta, Bd. 94 (2018), pp. 109-126.
Kantor (2017 dissertation) shows different frequencies looking at a different corpus
"The Second Column (Secunda) of Origen’s Hexapa in Light of Greek Pronunciation", a dissertation by Benjamin Paul Kantor (2017), contains a section on Latin transcribed into Greek papyri, most of which are "bilingual Greco-Latin
glossaries" (page 134).
The corpora Kantor considers show a much higher percentage of transcription as ου in the first and second centuries AD; in fact, β for V is only found before the 4th century AD in one text (containing three examples) (SB III.I. 6304, page 140).
Kantor says that the low frequency of β is probably related to the genre of the texts in the corpus:
Even though Latin v was pronounced as [β] already from the first or second century CE in Egypt, glossarial and grammatical texts used for language instruction maintained the old pronunciation [w] up until the fourth century CE. During this period, language-learning texts represented Latin v with ου, reflecting an archaic or standard pronunciation, and non-didactic texts represented Latin v with β (e.g., SB III.I. 6304), reflecting everyday colloquial pronunciation. After the fourth century CE, it seems that the pronunciation of Latin v as [β] had become so universal that even in grammatical texts Latin v was represented with β.
I find this explanation quite plausible, since it's not too hard to come up with examples of similar archaisms in transcription or pronunciation of modern languages (such as the fact that "sch" (or French "chtch") is still commonly seen as a transcription of the Russian letter Щ, which was previously pronounced [ɕtɕ] but is now pronounced [ɕː]).
Similarly, Grundy argues that the transcription ου was favored in the spelling of official names due to conservatism well after the appearance of the first transcriptions in β (pages 15-17).
- "The transliteration and pronunciation of the Latin letter V", by G.B.
Grundy, 1907, mentioned in a comment by TKR

With 536 horsepower, the G63's 5.5-liter, twin-turbocharged V-8 is already pretty potent. However, Brabus fiddled with it and was able to extract an otherworldly 700 horses. With that extra power, Brabus says the B63-S 700 Widestar will do 0-62 mph in 4.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 149 mph--perfect for pursuit work.
The Brabus-tuned G-Wagen also features a wide body kit and 23-inch wheels. That looks pretty intimidating on top of the stock G-Class' boxy military bodywork, even without the police lights and brush guard.
The Brabus B63-S 700 Widestar police car may seem like a cheesy publicity stunt, but Brabus and the Dubai Police have serious plans for it. The SUV will be used to promote the "Tune It! Safe!" campaign, which started in Germany as a way to encourage drivers to modify their cars in a safe and legal manner. The program is being exported to the United Arab Emirates where, admittedly, there are a lot of modified cars.
While the Brabus G-Wagen is the epitome of over-the-top tuning, it will look positively mundane compared to some of the other cars in the Dubai Police motor pool, which includes a Lamborghini Aventador, Aston Martin One-77, and even a Bugatti Veyron.
The exotic police cars are primarily used for display in prominent tourist areas for promotional purposes.

Temple: Hasanamba Temple
Though there are hundreds of temples that are historically and religiously significant to many people in the Hassan district of Karnataka, the Hasanamba temple dedicated to Shakti is particularly significant and unique in many ways.
Hasanamba Temple – Overview
The town Hasan was named after the presiding deity at the Hasanamba Temple. She is called Hasanamba as she is perceived to be ever smiling, bestowing all riches on her devotees. Built in the 12th century, the temple is open to the public for a week, once a year during the lunar month of Ashwayuja, during Diwali in October. So devotees flock here to seek the Goddess’ blessings during this week. This is the best time to visit the temple.
Hasanamba Temple – History
The temple is believed to have been constructed sometime around the 12th century, though no one knows exactly when or how it came to be. There is an ant-hill representing the presiding deity inside the temple premises and because the temple is open for only a week a year, it is all the more special to obtain a darshan during the festival.
Hasanamba Temple – Architecture
Archeological experts consider the Hasanamba Temple in Hassan to be the epitome of temple architecture in Karnataka. The city of Hassan dates back to the 11th century and the temples around Hassan signify the various dynasties that have ruled ever since the 11th century. It was originally built by the Hoysala dynasty in their tradition, reflecting their faith in Jainism. The temples in the Hassan district are some of the finest examples of the Hoysala tradition of temple architecture.
Hasanamba Temple – Religious Significance
The temple is unusual in that it is open to the devotees only for a week every year. The rest of the time the Goddess is left with a lit lamp, flowers, water and two bags of rice as offering until the next year. The nandaa deepa, (a ghee-lit lamp) burns all year round, for the entire duration when the temple doors are shut, with the ghee never depleting. And the anna naivedya (the rice offering) offered to the devi at the time of closing the temple is warm and unspoiled when the doors are opened again, a year later.
Every year the opening of the temple is celebrated with festivals and fairs.
Hasanamba temple – Mythology
The devotees believe that the benevolent Goddess smiles down upon them and showers her blessings. In many Indian languages, ‘hasya’ means humor. It is believed that the Goddess smiles down on the devotees who worship her.
While she is worshipped for being benevolent, she is also harsh to those who choose to harm her devotees. There is a belief that Amma Hasanamba turned a mother in law, who tortured Devi’s devotee the (daughter in law), in to a stone in front of her. It is believed it the stone moves an inch every year and when it reaches the lotus feet of hasanamba the period of kaliyuga will end.
Once 4 robbers attempted to rob jewels of Hasanamba and Devi turned them in to stones. And these four stones can be still seen in Kallappa Gudi.
How to Get to Hasanamba Temple
The Hasanamba temple is located in the heart of Hassan city and can easily be reached by road from Hassan in an auto rickshaw. It is just a couple of hours away from Bangalore by road and is convenient as a weekend getaway with plenty of accommodation options available in and around Hassan.
Hasanamba Temple – Facts
There is an unusual image depicting Ravana from the epic Ramayana with nine heads instead of ten, playing the veena. The reason for this image in the inner sanctum sanctorum is unknown but is very interesting nevertheless.
Just after devotees enter the temple they can see a beautiful view of Siddeshwara Swamy which is unusual as it not depicted in the Linga roopa. It appears as Lord Shiva Giving.

In the recent days of fashion and exposure, more and more people want their hair removed. They use plucking, threading, waxing, creams, shaving etc. But all these methods are temporary and have side effects. Laser hair removal is permanent painless option to remove unwanted hair.
In females, upper lip- chin, cheeks, under arms, legs and bikney area are common sites for lhr. While in males beard shaping, eyebrows setting, chest and back with forearms and private parts are the common sites.
Hair removal laser works on black pigment of active hair root and cause permanent damage to it, so that hair cannot grow in future. So that it cannot work on brown or grey- white hair. All hair roots are not active at a given point of time. So in one sitting all hair can't be removed and it requires multiple sittings- 5 to 6 routinely.
Lhr causes hair growth retardation, delay in growth, permanent hair removal. 85 to 90 percent hair are removed permanently. Remaining will become very thin and colorles.
In ladies with hair on lips and chin, hormone check up required to get good results.

The Second Trimester: What You Need to Know
During your second trimester prenatal visits, your health care provider will continue to check on your and your baby’s health, including monitoring the fetal heartbeat.
The second trimester is the most physically enjoyable for most women. Morning sickness usually lessens by this time, and the extreme tiredness and breast tenderness usually ease up.
Your fetus has now developed all its organs and systems and will now begin to grow in length and weight.
You may be able to feel the movement of the fetus for the first time at around 20 weeks. This phenomenon is called quickening.
A fetus born at the end of 24 weeks may survive in a neonatal intensive care unit.
Prenatal Visits During the Second Trimester
During your second and third trimester prenatal visits, your health care provider may check the following, depending on your current medical condition and the health of the fetus:
Any current symptoms or discomforts
Your blood pressure
Urine test. This is done to find albumin, a protein that may indicate pre-eclampsia or toxemia, and glucose (which may indicate hyperglycemia).
Growth, size and development of the fetus
Size of the uterus. After approximately 12 weeks of gestation, the uterus can be felt through the abdominal wall.
Height of the fundus (top of the uterus), starting at 20 weeks of gestation
The Second Trimester: What to Expect
The second trimester marks a turning point for the mother and fetus. You will usually begin to feel better and start showing the pregnancy more. Your fetus has now developed all its organs and systems and will now begin growing in length and weight.
During the second trimester, the umbilical cord continues to thicken as it carries nourishment to the fetus. However, harmful substances also pass through the umbilical cord to the fetus, so care should be taken to avoid alcohol, tobacco and other known hazards.
During the second trimester, both your body and the fetus continue to grow.
The Second Trimester: Changes to Your Body
The second trimester is the most physically enjoyable for most women. Morning sickness usually lessens by this time, and the extreme tiredness and breast tenderness usually ease up. These changes can be attributed to a decrease in levels of human chorionic gonadotropin hormone and an adjustment to the levels of estrogen and progesterone hormones.
The following is a list of changes and symptoms that may happen during the second trimester:
Appetite may increase.
You may be able to feel the movement of the fetus for the first time around 20 weeks. This phenomenon is called quickening.
The uterus grows to the height of the bellybutton around 20 weeks, making the pregnancy visible.
The skin on the belly may itch as it grows, and there may be pain down the sides of the body as the uterus stretches. The lower stomach may ache as ligaments stretch to support the uterus.
The need to urinate often may decrease as the uterus grows out of the pelvic cavity, relieving pressure on the bladder.
Your nose may become congested, and you may experience nosebleeds. This is due to the increase in hormones (estrogen and progesterone) and blood flow that affect the mucous membranes and blood vessels in the nose.
Your gums become spongier and may bleed easily. This is due to the increase in hormones (estrogen and progesterone) that affect the mucous membranes in the mouth.
You may have a white-colored vaginal discharge called leukorrhea. (A colored or bloody discharge may signal possible complications and should be examined immediately.)
The increasing weight gain may cause backaches.
Skin pigmentation may change on the face or abdomen due to the pregnancy hormones.
The Second Trimester: Fetal Development
Click Image to Enlarge
Now that all the major organs and systems have formed in the fetus, the following six months will be spent growing. The weight of your fetus will multiply more than seven times over the next few months, as the fetus becomes a baby that can survive outside of the uterus.
By the end of the second trimester, your fetus will be about 13 to 16 inches long and weigh about 2 to 3 pounds. Fetal development during the second trimester includes the following:
The fetus kicks, moves and can turn from side to side.
The eyes have been gradually moving to the front of the face, and the ears have moved from the neck to the sides of the head. The fetus can hear your voice.
A creamy white substance (called vernix caseosa, or simply vernix) begins to appear on the fetus and helps to protect the thin fetal skin. Vernix is gradually absorbed by the skin, but some may be seen on babies even after birth.
The fetus is developing reflexes, like swallowing and sucking.
The fetus can respond to certain stimuli.
The placenta is fully developed.
The brain will undergo its most important period of growth from the fifth month on.
Fingernails have grown on the tips of the fingers and toes, and the fingers and toes are fully separated.
The fetus goes through cycles of sleep and wakefulness.
Skin is wrinkly and red, covered with soft, downy hair (called lanugo).
Hair is growing on the head of the fetus.
Fat begins to accumulate in the fetus.
Eyelids are beginning to open, and the eyebrows and eyelashes are visible.
Fingerprints and toeprints have formed.
Rapid growth is continuing in fetal size and weight.
The 20th week marks the halfway point of the pregnancy.
A fetus born at the end of 24 weeks may survive in a neonatal intensive care unit.

It is not just men who are worried about their performance in bed now-a-days, but women too worry about the same and our society too is changing and the men are more considerate about their partner's pleasure. Female orgasmic disorder (FOD) is now quite common in women of all ages and there are innumerable therapies that can treat this trouble efficiently. This trouble mainly leads to lowering of sexual desire, mainly due to lower production of testosterone. On the other hand, libido also gets decreased as a result of which lubrication gets hampered a lot.
Major therapies for treating FOD:
- Counselling therapy: This kind of therapy has currently gained popularity as a sex therapy. This therapy is useful among all and can offer optimized benefits in treating FOD. The root troubles of FOD can be easily and accurately detected by this therapy. Some commonest troubles are relationship issues, past abuse, depression, anxiety and other related ones. In this case, you have to visit any experienced counsellor who has specialization in conducting the concerned therapy.
- Hormonal replacement therapy: This is also quite a popular therapy that can help in increasing the sexual drive in females. This therapy is mainly conducted for increasing the efficiency of the sexual hormones in women so that they can take part in sexual interaction with their partners actively without any hindrances. Menopause symptoms can be completely eliminated using this therapy so that you can fully concentrate on your sexual desires. There are some specific medications that are used in this therapy so that hormonal efficiency can be boosted.
- Taking supplements: You can now take different kinds of organic or natural supplements that can increase your sexual drive and enhance your testosterone levels. Make sure that only herbal ingredients have been included in the supplements so that unwanted adverse effects can be easily curtailed and you can only get the real effects. Arginmax is a common supplement which is highly enriched with nutrients and thus your body will get all kinds of essential nutrients, especially amino acids that not only increase the sexual arousal but also the blood flow.
- Taking medications: Taking medications is also quite a good option, but only in case the medicines have been prescribed by certified doctors or sex therapists. Antidepressants can be used for getting rid of depression, which is one of the leading causes of reduced libido and sexual desire in women. Some of the most popular alternative medicines that can be used in this regard are Effexor, Serzone, BuSpar, Celexa and Wellbutrin. All these medicines have lower side-effects, and this is the reason doctors often recommend them. Viagra can also be treated as one of the most useful options as blood-flow can be increased by consuming the same.
The above mentioned therapies are now being treated as the leading options that can offer guaranteed results in increasing women's sexual desire.

Cruz was not among Dugan's many victims
"Brian Dugan had a lot of victims, including myself."
-- Rolando Cruz, speaking Wednesday outside Dugan's sentencing hearing in DuPage County
I championed the cause of Rolando Cruz's innocence back in the '90s and was thrilled when he was finally exonerated in the 1983 murder of Jeanine Nicarico and released from death row.
But let's not rewrite history here. Predatory sex killer Brian Dugan did, indeed, have a lot of victims -- 10-year-old Jeanine from unincorporated Naperville being one of them.
Cruz's troubles, however, were not Dugan's fault. Cruz volunteered his way into deep trouble.
What happened, to review, was that investigators, exploring every possible lead in their fruitless search for the killer, came nosing around the hardscrabble east side of Aurora when a big-talking teen named Alejandro "Crazy Alex" Hernandez started telling people that he knew something about the case.
Hernandez's accounts of the crime were wild inventions that contradicted known facts of the case, but police heard him out. One of the people he led them to was a lowlife burglar who, in turn, suggested they talk to Cruz, who also lived in Aurora.
Cruz was a cocky, smart-mouth street punk, a small-time layabout and petty criminal with "no career, no future" as he told me in an interview more than 15 years ago. He said he was both offended and amused when investigators suggested he might be connected to the Nicarico murder, "So I started making up stories too," he said. "The police never had any respect for us, and we never had no respect for them."
He played this game for all it was worth, spinning tales and getting temporary free lodging and plenty of seemingly friendly attention from authorities. His lies to the grand jury began almost as soon as he'd finished swearing to tell the truth when he added three years to his age to jibe with the phony driver's license he carried. He told them he'd been in the U.S. Marines, stationed at Camp LeJeune "in Germany." (It's actually in North Carolina.)
The scandal in this case is that DuPage County investigators and prosecutors either believed or pretended to believe the ludicrous, self-incriminating inventions of this lowlife and used them to railroad him and Hernandez onto death row, all before anyone had even heard of Brian Dugan.
If anything, Dugan saved Cruz and Hernandez when he came forward after his arrest in a similar, 1985 murder to admit to having killed Jeanine. Were it not for that powerfully corroborative admission, it's likely that Cruz and Hernandez would not have become national cause celebres, and the appeals that eventually freed them would have failed.
Cruz certainly suffered more than enough for the sin of misdirecting the hunt for a killer who then went on to strike again and so was, in the end, a victim -- just not Dugan's victim. Cruz told my colleague Art Barnum that he attended Dugan's sentencing hearing looking for "closure."
Fine. So long as he realizes that it's thanks to Dugan that the lid on his coffin didn't achieve closure years ago.

'Gay primary' will be no big deal
Columbia College instructor Joseph Laiacona says he has more than three times the number of signatures necessary to get on the ballot to challenge first-term state Rep. Deb Mell in the Northwest Side's 40th District Democratic primary in February.
Mell, the sister-in-law of former Gov. Rod Blagojevich, drew considerable fire -- particularly from me, one of her constituents -- for casting the lone vote in the Illinois House against Blagojevich's impeachment last January rather than abstaining due to the obvious conflict of interest.
You can expect that vote to be an issue in the primary race. But don't expect the fact that Mell is a lesbian -- the first openly gay woman to serve in the Illinois General Assembly -- to be an issue. Laiacona is also openly gay. And neither candidate mentions it in online campaign bios.
"This is probably the highest level where an incumbent openly gay politician is facing an openly gay contender" in Illinois, said Windy City Times publisher Tracy Baim.
Attorney Chuck Hogren, co-founder of the Cabrini-Green Legal Aid Clinic, also is circulating petitions. "I'm straight," he told me, "but I'm certainly not going to make an issue of anyone's sexual orientation."

At the beginning of the month we had hosted a little contest on who could guess the weight, length, and birth date of little Melissa Jane Rich. Well she decided to say hello to Mom and Dad last week and we now have our winners. Yes, winners, because no one got everything correct.
Melissa Jane Rich
Born July 8th, 2009
8 lbs 7 oz 21 inches
People who got the birth date correct – Nate and Monica (some inside info?), Stephanie (who joined the contest on July 7th at 9:43pm)
People who got the length correct – Monica (again with the inside info), Bekki, and Chris (oh snap, that’s me!)
And the winner of the one that I think is hardest to predict, little MJ’s weight – Pat with a guess of 8lbs 6oz.
Great job everyone. Now it is up to Karissa to figure out who she wants to give the prize to. Congratulations to Nate and Monica, you both have a beautiful daughter to treasure forever. We can’t wait to meet her!
Our dear friends Nate and Monica are expecting a baby girl any day now. We are so excited to meet this little girl, but we will have to be satisfied with pictures for now as they live on the East Coast. Nate has been a great friend for many years and I am delighted that he is now a daddy. (We are still not sure how he landed such a great wife!) The official due date is July 2nd so if you are going to play in this little game, you might have to act fast. For Monica’s sake, I am hoping this is a really short contest.
I thought it would be fun to see who can come closest to guessing the baby girl’s birth weight and length. In case you don’t know Nate and Monica, I have this picture of the two of them from their wedding, nearly two years ago. So good luck, I will announce the results as soon as I get them. Unfortunately there is no trip to Vegas as a prize, simply the joy in knowing that your mad prediction skills won you a contest.
So whether you know Nate and Monica or not, go ahead and leave a comment indicating your guess on the baby’s birth weight and length. Closest to the pin wins. Good Luck!
Ever since Rylee and Caleb started T-Ball, Kyler has been beyond fascinated with everything to do with baseball, especially the Mariners. Anything that can fit in his hands that he can swing becomes a bat. So often when I come home from work I hear him say “Daddy, throw me the ball” as he is holding up a golf club, stick, gigantic pencil, or a drum stick. I can’t wait for him to be old enough to play on a team with the Y, he will have so much fun. Until then, it is backyard baseball for Caleb, Kyler and I.
With Kyler’s birthday coming up, we thought it would make his day to go to the Mariner’s Game. We got some tickets and will be headed to Safeco Field to watch the M’s play baseball. Kyler could not be more excited. Karissa got him a Mariner’s hat and a t-shirt that he has not stopped wearing since he put them on. We have a little baseball fan on our hands and it is a lot of fun. Here he is with his hat and the schedule showing you when we are going to the game.
I have been a Daddy for over six years now and I love every minute of it. Don’t get me wrong, it is not all roses, especially what loads up in the diaper from time to time, but being a Daddy is one of the greatest joys of my life. Four kiddos get to claim me as their daddy whether they like it or not. Rylee, Caleb, Kyler, and Audrey are the fab four in my life. Each one has my heart completely.
This year for Father’s Day each of the kids got me something that they thought I would really enjoy. Here, in visual form is what they came up with (they know their Daddy so well):
This would have been more than enough to make my day, knowing that the kids each thought of something that their Daddy would love. (And I loved them all!) However, Karissa had one more gift for me. She made me a photo book from Shutterfly. As I opened the pages and looked at the pictures and read what she wrote, I was overwhlemed by the amount of love, support, and adoration I receive from my family. They are the best. Thank you so much Rylee, Caleb, Kyler, Audie, and of course, thank you my love, you are a gift from God, all of you!
Although the Mariner’s have taken the last two games from the Angels, they look like a team that is in a rebuilding mode. They could use some help around the field in a few positions. Here are a couple kids that just might give a few Mariner’s a run for their money out on the ball field.
Caleb and Rylee playing the infield, ready to make a play to first base. While on defense, every ball that is put into play goes over to first base. Each inning the every player gets to hit and advance one base for each at bat. The last player gets a “home run” clearing the bases. Both Rylee and Caleb had multiple opportunities to field a ground ball and throw it to first base. They both did great!
I got to pitch again to the kids and had a great time. My ERA is through the roof, but that is a good thing! Rylee and Caleb both seem to be having so much fun. I am delighted to see how both kiddos adapt so well to the organization of the team sport. They are even making new friends. After the game today Caleb asked me where one of the boys who was missing was. I love it! I also really enjoy getting to coach my kids and partner with a great organization serving our community. The kids are having fun and Karissa and I are getting to know the other players parents. At one point in the game, AGAIN we caught Caleb and Rylee giving each other a congratulatory hug on first base. The big smiles on these moments as well as seen throughout the whole game make the day so much fun.
So we have not had a chicken post in a while so I thought I would give you a glimpse into the life of a chicken raised on the Strovas Farm by Farmer Rylee, Farmer Caleb, and Farmer Kyler (Audie is not up to farmin’ just yet).
First a few introductions need to be made:
Fluff (the white one)
Those are the main players in this world we live in. The three chickens listed above are by far the favorite. However, it was quite a strange thing to hear, “Daddy, let’s kill Red Headed tonight!” from my sweet farmer Rylee. The story goes like this. we have been talking about if we have any Roosters that we are going to either eat them or sell them, but we certainly are not keeping them. It has been easy to tell that Red Headed is a rooster for quite some time now, but it was not until the last few days that Mr. Red Headed has been testing out his pubescent vocal chords a bit. So tonight, we listened in a bit while said chicken gave it a go for about five or six crows. Everyone had a good laugh about it because it just doesn’t quite have the full rooster strength in it just yet. Karissa then says that we need to do something about that rooster and I say that we need to kill it or sell it. Rylee gets super excited because she thinks she needs to see how we are going to kill this chicken. Don’t worry, Red Headed is still with us (I personally would rather sell Mr. Red Headed on craigslist). It was quite an amusing time, you can imagine.
Fluff has been Rylee’s favorite chicken since they were chicks. Even before Karissa or I could tell Fluff from the rest of the yellow chicks Rylee could always find Fluff. Now that Fluff has grown into her (we hope it’s a her) fully white self, Fluff quite remarkable in comparision to the rest of the flock.
Red Headed got his name from being the first rooster through puberty.
Bubba, quite the name Caleb gave this lovely hen, is not only his favorite, but also Karissa’s. Bubba is the one chicken that we have that will lay eggs with a bluish or greenish tinge to the shell.
So those are the main players in this daily chicken saga. Here are a couple pictures that share a bit about their life as chickens in the coop or out of the coop in their 250sf world:
Life in the Coop
Life outside the Coop
Here is a quick breakdown of their day:
8:00am – Farmer Rylee, who has been begging to let the chickens out does so and gives them fresh water
The rest of the day is filled with going in and out of the coop to rest, scratch the ground and look for worms, eat, drink, poop, poop some more, get picked up by one of the little farmers, have a major escape run into the main yard because thanks to one of the little farmers forgetting to shut the gate of the pen when they were done holding chickens, scratch, eat, drink, poop, poop some more, get picked up by a curious neighbor kid, scratch, eat, drink, poop…
Every once in a while a chicken is selected by Farmer Rylee to be held, sung to, rocked to sleep, and placed in the little playhouse for a nap. The amazing thing is the chicken actually falls asleep and rests on the ground for a real nap. Tonight, I heard Rylee carrying a chicken singing her own song sung to the tune of “God of this City.” The little chicken fell right asleep. HILARIOUS!
8:30pm – stand outside the coop because it is getting dark and the farmer’s have not yet turned ont the heat lamp for them, if the farmers don’t get the idea, they start to make some concerned noises until someone clues in on what is going on.
9:00pm – one by one all of the chickens head into the coop for the night. They all snuggle right up against each other on the floor or on their roosting poles.
9:15ish – one of the farmers tucks them in at night by taking an official head count and closing up the coop.
How could it not be beautiful when it started with donuts, followed by demolishing our hazardous back deck, coaching Rylee and Caleb’s first t-ball game, celebrating Stephanie’s graduation from nursing school, set up and played in the summer pool and ended with a roaring fire in our fire pit. Of course, the fact that it was another glorious day in the Pacific Northwest did not hurt anything.
Our back deck was on it’s last legs. Between the rotting wood and the insects that were eating their way through some of the posts, the deck was more hazard than benefit. So, we decided it was time to do something about it. Step one…take it down. The kids were up early, as usual, and after some donuts, we decided that we could begin our demo at 9am. Hopefully that was kosher with the neighbors. Everyone pitched in and it was pretty much gone by noon. Demo’ing a deck is actually a lot of fun, hard work, but fun. I probably should have prefunked with a little ibuprofen…
After lunch, the kiddos grabbed a quick nap before shuffling out the door to their first t-ball game. We had only one practice before this so we did not really know what to expect. According to the YMCA rulebook, each kid at bat gets 3-4 coach pitch balls and then hits off the tee if they are not able to make contact with the coaches pitches. We played three innings with each kid from each team getting one at-bat during the inning. As the coach, I was definitely feeling the pressure to make sure each kid got a hit from my pitches instead of having to hit from the tee. As it turned out all the kids did great. Only one kiddo needed the tee each time. Rylee and Caleb had a great time. Caleb was totally into the game both on defense and up to bat. Rylee was not as into it, but would tell you she really enjoyed it. Karissa and I were unsure how Caleb was going to do in this organized team sport, since he did not make it past one practice with soccer. He was amazing! He had a smile on his face the whole time, got a couple really good hits, and even fielded some balls. At one point in the game, Rylee had hit a ball and made her way to first (there are not outs in this league) and Caleb was up to bat. He swung and hit a great shot past the short stop. As he ran to first base, Rylee was not paying much attention and was there on first base still when Caleb arrived. Rylee and Caleb gave each other a big hug before one of the parents encouraged her on to second base. Priceless.
After the game, we loaded up the car and quickly went to Steph’s graduation open house. We are all quite proud of her, you can read about it here.
We also set up the pool in the front yard for the first pool day of the year. Sorry about the fuzzy pictures, but our sweet Kyler had grabbed the camera at some point during the day and took about 15 pictures. He must have gotten his cute little fingers on the lens.
A great day full of hard work and fun. Now that we have demo’d the back deck, we actually have to do something about it. We are currently looking into a small landing with perimeter stairs going down to the yard landing on a patio made from pavers. If you have any creative ideas let us know!
It’s Thursday again and we have been collecting some of the funny things we heard our kids say this week. We would also love to read about what your kids are saying too. We just get such a kick out of posts like these. Here is some of what made us smile this week:
Mama – “Kyler, did you try to have a popsicle last night?”
Kyler – “Yes. I try but not get it open. I try knife, I try tools, but I could not get it open. Hrmmph…(followed by the classic Kyler furrowed brow look).” Definitive proof that it WAS Kyler! As if we didn’t know:)
Near the end of Mother’s Day, we thought it would be great to get all the kids tucked into bed and then watch a movie. The plan – I would head to the local Red Box with Kyler and Karissa would get Audrey down (Rylee and Caleb were already tucked in for the night having made the choice to forgo naps). I got to the Red Box with Kyler and was about to rent Benjamin Button, when I thought I should give Karissa a call because there was one other movie that I thought she might prefer – next thing I know Kyler is happy as can be having pulled “Bride Wars” out of the Red Box and heading back to the van.
We return home and find out that Audrey is still up, apparently choosing to forgo sleep. We get Kyler into bed and then start the movie. We figured she would fall asleep in our arms sooner than later. As it turned out she was a little ball of energy for the entire movie. Talking away, playing with Maggie, and snuggling with mama and daddy. She was even more entertaining than the movie. Near the end of the movie I was able to get Audrey tucked in and finally had all four babes in bed…so we thought.
I come down the hall to hear Karissa say: “Where’s Kyler?” with a fairly concerned tone. I immediately rush to his room, open the door, and see our sweet boys both in bed sleeping away. I look to Karissa to try to figure out what put her on alert and follow her to the kitchen where I saw this scene:
Two unopened and melted popsicles found on the kitchen floor in front of the freezer.
A binkie left behind at the scene and a knife taken from a drawer in the kitchen that was left open. Presumably, the knife was used to unsuccessfully open the aforementioned popsicles.
Apparently while we were watching the movie, trying to hear it over the sound of Audrey laughing and squealing Kyler had quietly snuck out of bed, down the hall, into the kitchen to find something to eat. Like any two year old, he went straight for the grape popsicles. Unfortunately for him, his sweet little hands were not able to get either of the popsicles out of the package. So he got a knife out of the drawer and after a CSI worthy investigation we’ve concluded that he unsuccessfully tried to cut open the popsicles. How do we know it was him, you ask? Note the binky on the table. As Kyler is the only kiddo in the house who is into binkies, the evidence mounts up against him.
Maybe if you had already done it once or twice, but doing it the first time took probably a total of 120 minutes. However, now that I have done it, I probably could narrow that time down to 30-45 minutes. 15 minutes? I don’t think so. Who comes up with these times anyway?
With all the bike riding that we do in our cul-de-sac and on rides out and about, we figured it was time to get Caleb a bike that actually fit him and his skill set. The current 14″ bike that he had was long overdue to be replaced. Not only were the tires practically balled, but because the wheels were so small, even if he was pumping his legs considerably harder and faster than Rylee, he could not keep up with her on her 18″ bike.
So we got him an 18″ bike with 4 pegs for his birthday. It is actually a freestyle BMX type bike that he might actually learn to do tricks with. He can stand on the pegs and even rotate his handlebars around 360 degrees. Out of all of our kids, I can envision him pulling off some of those crazy stunts sometime down the road. After all, he was the one that was carving sweet turns on his razor scooter before he was 2. Happy Birthday Caleb, let’s go for a ride!

This was meant to be a post a few weeks ago, but when it went live there was not photo and Liz actually caught it. However, when I went looking for the photo couldn’t find it! It was on the other laptop. Sigh. Here it is…finally. We have five children taking piano, and one child who has dropped out. Sniff, sniff.

The Truck Whisperer
Mike Sweers and His Sweat Equity in Tundra and Tacoma
September 06, 2016
At the Toyota Technical Center in York Township, Mich., Mike Sweers serves as the chief engineer for both the Tundra and Tacoma. Take a ride to Southeastern Michigan to find out a little more about the life of a chief engineer and what goes into making Toyota trucks the toughest on the road.
Exactly what do you do?
A chief engineer’s responsibility is really the vehicle from the start to the finish of its life cycle. What I mean by that is as we start with the vehicle concept, looking at what the customer wants, needs, desires, and how that vehicle fits into their daily life and how we – as Akio Toyoda would say – make our customer smile. So that involves collecting data from Product Planning, Marketing and other groups.
We meet with evaluation groups so we can understand how a customer would use the vehicle in the segment. Since I’m in charge of trucks, it’s how would a full-sized truck customer use this truck instead of a compact truck customer. What do they do with them? From a daily driver, to weekends, to the guy who goes out and races his truck in the desert or rock climbs. How do we fit each one of those customers’ needs? Or do we pick a specific portion of that segment and focus our product on them?
From there we have to work out the investment, figure out the business case for the vehicle and get it approved by the board of directors.
So before we can ever start designing the vehicle, we go through all these steps.
So when it starts, you have nothing really?
It depends. If it’s a brand new concept vehicle or a brand new segment, it’s different. We have to understand what we’re trying to sell. Trucks are a very well established segment. And how you treat that segment or how you break into that segment may be completely different. For Tundra, it’s more of what we call a niche truck. The opposite of that is Tacoma. We are the leader in that segment. And how we approach each vehicle is a little different. We can be a little polarizing, a little daring on Tundra because it’s a niche vehicle. With Tacoma, we need to make sure we are satisfying that segment so we remain the leader in that segment itself. So we’re looking at the demographics, making sure we’re meeting our customers’ needs. For me, I’m a truck guy, so I have a personal interest in it because I always drive trucks. So it’s very important to me that I have a product that we’re putting out that I’m excited to drive as well.
So what is the difference between a Tundra customer and an F-150 customer?
A Tundra customer is really buying the truck because they know that truck is going to last. It has the lowest cost of ownership. It has the highest residual value in the market. And that supports the fact that the customer will get a high-quality product. In the full-sized segment, the number one reason is capability, “What can I tow? What can I haul?” But it’s also kind of a reflection of the owner itself. Tundra owners are saying, “I bought the best. I can do whatever my neighbor’s F-150 can do, but I know it’s going to last forever.”
Do sales factor into how you approach these things?
Sales factor in all the time. At the end of the day, we have to sell our product. We’re going up against the best-selling vehicle in the country, but how we do it is with QDR, styling, by making sure we’re meeting our customers’ requirements for wants needs and desire.
What is the design process like?
As we move into design, we get into daily activities with the engineers. How are we going to put the vehicle together? What combinations go together? We work with TEMA production engineering. We work with purchasing every day, cost planning every day. We need to make sure we’re hitting design targets. And we’re still working with styling, and the goal is that the initial sketch everyone agreed to is what we want to hit. So trying to find new ways of manufacturing and making sure we can still build the product.
Then we go into tooling. Once we move into tooling, we go to the plant and ask if they can build it. The last thing we want to do is give them something that is not easily built or can’t be built repeatedly. That affects our quality. Or a big area we have to be cautious of, especially with the plants in Baja and Texas that are running full capacity, is that we’re not creating ergonomic issues for the line operator. We don’t want anyone to get hurt putting our vehicles together.
It’s a big team effort. But if we consider ourselves an orchestra, my role is the conductor: getting people from all parts of the company to talk together. Everybody does their job, but I need to make sure everyone is doing their job with consideration of everyone else’s job.
What’s important to doing your job well?
To me, the key to being a good chief engineer is to be a customer. So if I have to change the oil, can I get to the oil filter without running oil all over the place? We had a van when my kids were young and I had to make everyone go inside when I’d change the oil on it because it was a 90-minute affair and an hour of that was cleaning up the oil. It would infuriate me, and that’s something I think about. Even when we go down to the plant, one thing I tell our engineers is, “If you wouldn’t want to do that job for eight hours a day, then don’t ask somebody else to do that job.”

It’s been 4 months since I last said I was going to update. It may be another 4 months before I update again. I hope you enjoy this one!
First, let me tell you about my first Utah trip this year. Skippy and I went on a 10 day Wilderness Education Association winter-based training course. It involved hiking and camping in the cold and snow, along with some awesome ice climbing. The experience we gained in cold-weather camping would prove very useful in the near future. You can find pictures from the trip here.
Next, I was supposed to take one, then teach another, ice climbing course for IU. Both were cancelled for lack of ice at our destination, Governor Dodge State Park in Wisconsin. Then I took a cross-country skiing course in Michigan, which was a whole lot of fun.
That brings us up to spring break, which was this past week. Skippy and I led an Outdoor Adventures trip to Canyonlands National Park in Utah. This was my second trip to Canyonlands, and Skippy’s first.
Canyonlands National Park Trip Details
I go to pick up our vehicle for the trip, and find that we have a minivan. A minivan with barely enough room for 7 people, let alone 7 people with a week’s worth of backpacking supplies and gear. So I have to get another car. We’re taking 7 people 1500 miles away in a minivan and a Taurus, with 4 drivers.
We pack up our gear and head west. And we keep heading west. Eventually we stop for the night in Kansas, at a rest stop that looks like it was inspired by German architects in Normandy, circa 1944. Concrete bunkers all the way up the hill.
We wake up at 7, and use the facilities at the rest stop to freshen up, then we hit the road again, heading west. The goal is to make it close to the park entrance, and camp alongside the road on BLM property.
First we have to get through the rest of Kansas, and eastern Colorado. Which takes FOREVER. Finally, we hit Denver and head into the mountains. I love driving through the mountains, at least when the roads are good. They are, and Skippy and I drive through them like professionals. Due to limitations on the number of times we can fill up IU vehicles during a day, we roll into Moab, UT low on fuel and can’t fill up. We continue on, 45 miles to the park highway, as a winter storm approaches. As we turn onto the park highway at 11pm, 30 miles away from the entrance gate, the skies open up and unleash a torrent of snow and wind.
With the wind gusting at 20-30mph, and snow drifting over the road, we search for a place to pull off and set up tents. The whole area outside of the park is Bureau of Land Management, and open use. We find a relatively protected depression on the lee side of the road, and set up tents. Fortunately, Skippy and I are totally prepared for winter camping, thanks to the previous Utah trip, and we had also had our participants practice setting up the tents during the trip planning meeting a couple of weeks earlier. I had also prepped them for cold weather, so we weren’t surprised or seriously worried about the conditions. The night is cold, but everyone survives with minimal difficulty.
We wake up to blowing snow and visibility at less than 50′. So, we zip back up and wait an hour for conditions to improve. They do, and we pack up and get back on the now snowy road to Canyonlands.
When we check in at the visitor center to get our backcountry permit, we are advised that many of the trails are snowy and/or icy, and that travel would be dangerous, and possibly deadly on certain trails. After weighing that information with the most current weather report (another snow storm is expected that evening, then clear the rest of the week), we decide to set up residence at one of the established camp sites around the trailhead. We then spend the rest of the afternoon climbing around the canyon that the campsite borders.
Later that evening, it begins to snow again, though not as hard as the previous night. I am beginning to wonder if we will have to pack up and take a driving tour of the area. Dinner is chili mac, with chili TVP mix, spaghetti, and cheese.
We decide that no matter what, we aren’t going to stay idle another day. While the group packs up their gear, Skippy and I go back to the visitor center. We work with a couple of the rangers there and come up with an alternate, safer plan than my original good weather itinerary: hike in 1.2 miles and camp at Big Spring 1, then hike back out and use the cars to go to a different trailhead and hike another 3 miles to Elephant Canyon 2 the next day. From there, on to Chesler Park then back out.
We take our newly adjusted plan and permit back to the group, pack our gear into the cars, and head for the trailhead. There we divy up all the group gear, food, and personal gear, check packs, and stretch. The day is sunny and beautiful, the temperature is around 38 degrees. Even though we’re headed back to the cars the next day, I tell everyone to pack for the week.
After a couple of adjustment stops, we make it to the campsite and set up. I am very interested in not going back to the cars, so John volunteers to fastpack the unknown portion of the trail to the next night’s campsite with me. We do the 5 mile round trip hike in 2.5 hours, and find the way is mostly clear. There is ice, but nothing where the group would be exposed to more danger than falling a couple of feet. Now I’m glad I had everyone pack for the week! Dinner is quesadillas with cheese, beans, and salsa. The moon is nearly full and the sky is clear, and the canyon looks like the landscape of another planet.
Today we hike to Elephant Canyon. We cover the ground John and I scouted the day before without incident. After that 2.5 mile section, there are still 2 miles to cover. We run into some more ice on the north face of a canyon descent, but teamwork and copious amounts of butt-sliding get us down without incident. The Elephant Canyon 2 campsite is amazing, more than halfway up the canyon wall and facing a large row of needles.
Skippy takes Lauren, Taryn, and Steve to scout out the shorter of two routes into Chesler Park. Meanwhile, I fall asleep on a rock in the sun. I also manage to setup our tent before they return. They find the trail is impassable, and dangerously so. Dinner is spaghetti with olive oil, lime juice, red pepper, and parmesan cheese.
Time to head to my favorite section of the Needles District, Chesler Park! The first mile is a retrace of our path yesterday, but then we hit the unknown section of the 3 mile hike. Everything hinges on this .2 mile section of trail over a north-facing saddle between two needle peaks. The disappointing alternative is to head up another trail to an established campsite north of Chesler Park.
Once we arrive at the entrance to the saddle, Skippy and I drop packs and head up to scout the potential danger. We find nothing to fear except some protected icy slopes and snow everywhere. Following our lead, the group makes it up without falling, and without having to drop packs.
We enter Chesler Park.
After setting up camp at CP4, we walk down the trail to check out the remains of a cowboy camp. Lunch follows, then the group splits up to do some exploring. John and Steve head down the Joint Trail, Lauren, Christie, and Taryn go to climb some rocks, and Skippy and I head towards a large rock in the middle of the field. This rock, to be exact:
You see, one year ago, I sat on this rock and decided to stop wasting time. I liked this woman named Skippy, and it was here that I decided to stop waiting around for the chance to connect with her, and instead make it happen. And now, a year later, I’m sitting on the same rock with her. My life couldn’t be better. And now, I ask her to marry me. And she says “yes.” And my life gets even better.
After a dinner of gado gado (DELICIOUS!) or rice and beans, I tell the story over a cup of hot chocolate. When I announce our engagement, there are tears and hugs and congratulations all around. That night the sky is once again clear, the moon is now full, and the open expanse of Chesler Park is transformed into another alien landscape.
Today is our longest hike, 6+ miles, retracing just about every step we’ve taken so far. It goes well, with most of the ice we encountered earlier in the week either mostly melted or entirely gone. Taryn twists her ankle about a mile in, but she’s tough and once Steve helps us apply a sports tape wrap to it, she’s on her feet hiking again. We make it to the cars by 4:15, for a total trail time of 5.5 hours, including ankle treatment, pee breaks, snack breaks, and lunch. This group is awesome!
We support the park service at the visitor center gift shop, then head to Canyonlands Outpost to grab a couple gallons of gas to make it back to Moab. The woman at the Outpost lets us get gas despite having been closed for over an hour.
Once back in Moab, we get the pleasure of our first hot showers since leaving Bloomington a week before, thanks to The Lazy Lizard Hostel. Then, a Mexican feast at the Fiesta Mexicana restaurant. After loading up on cheese and salsa, we get in the cars and head east, making it 90 miles into Colorado before weariness sets in and we stop at a rest stop for the night.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! More mountain driving, hooray! I lead us through western Colorado, arriving at Genesee Towne Cafe (I-70, Exit 254), where a feast of pancakes, sausage, and omelettes await the group. We met Hanna and Wolfgang, the proprietors of the resaurant, on our trip out to Utah over the winter. They were happy to see us again.
The rest of the day was spent getting us into Kansas. We stopped at a rest stop and fixed SWAD Indian Dinners. I took over driving just outside of Kansas City, and made it a few clicks into Missouri before needing to go to sleep.
Steve graciously purchased everyone’s breakfast at a Cracker Barrel, allowing us to forgo the cold and wind we would have encountered if we had followed through with plans to fix pancakes at a rest stop. Then, we drove the rest of the way home.

This cute and cuddly Sugar Glider is realistic-looking, and he has a monofilament line attached to him, so he can hang in a flying position. Sugar Glider measures approximately 8.5 inches long, 7.75 inches wide, and 2.75 inches high. Sugar gliders have become popular pets in the United States. Artisan hand sew the animals "inside out", an old world tradition that results in the mininization of seams, and their bodies are carefully "sculpted" to create "musculature" and "features" like movement in a walking or sitting position that are unique to each creature. On average, there are 42 separate pieces required to make each animal, that must be combined by a team of truly creative artists to create the distinctly realistic features that characterize HANSA animals. (Some animals have as many as 240 different parts!) Each animal is individually hand sewn, to give it a unique "personality", there are more than 860 different fabrics and man-made furs from which the "coat" and "hides" are made, along with over 6000 sets of different eyes, whiskers, claws, noses, and related accessories allocated for creating these wonderful plush animals. Stuffing emphasizes careful attention to the placement of the highest quality man-made materials. When you hold these wonderfully "life-like" animals, you will see and feel HANSA's emphasis on quality, which is a result of careful attention to design, custom fabric selection, cutting, sewing, stuffing, eye placement, feature creation, framing, air brushing and finishing. Since each animal is hand sewn, there will be slight variations in appearance.

In April 2015 new rules will allow anyone 55 and over to draw the whole of their pension fund in one lump sum. Until then stop-gap measures apply. Can you take advantage, and what’s the tax position?
The big news on pensions in Budget 2014 was that from April 2015 those who have invested in pension schemes will be free to withdraw their savings in one go as soon as they hit 55. Naturally, there are tax consequences.
Pension lump sums from April 2015
Where you choose to take part or all of your fund you’ll be entitled to a tax-free pension commencement lump sum. This is limited to a maximum of 25% of your fund value. Anything you draw in excess of that will count as taxable income. Where this would push you from a basic to a higher rate taxpayer, the sensible plan will be to spread your withdrawals over a number of years so that you stay within the lower tax bands.
While the small print is being sorted out on the new rules, the government has relaxed the existing ones to allow greater access to pension savings, but only for those who are 60 or over. If that’s you then it will interest you to read that since 27 March 2014, and subject to conditions specific to the types of scheme you have (see The next step ), it’s been possible to withdraw all your pension savings where:
a pension fund value is no more than £10,000. You can withdraw all your cash from up to three pension schemes this way, even where you have other pension schemes you don’t cash in.
the value of all your pension funds together add up to no more than £30,000, even if one or more of them are worth more than £10,000. This is known as trivial commutation.
In each case 25% of your pension funds can be taken tax free. The balance is taxable income.
Take the money or stay put?
An important question for those who reach 60 between now and April 2015 is whether, assuming you meet the conditions, you should cash in your pensions or wait. It’s mainly a matter of choice according to your personal needs and wishes. However, there are a two tips we can offer that might help you decide.
Tip 1. From April 2015 the government will offer anyone with pension savings free and impartial guidance on how to get the best from their funds. The bad news is that it will only be given at the time you retire. If you’re still in work and need personalised pensions advice then your best option is to contact a financial advisor. While there’s stacks of advice online, pension planning is a specialist area and an expert will usually be worth paying for.
Tip 2. Pension recycling is still possible. This means taking your pension savings and reinvesting up to the maximum allowed (£18,000) into a new pension scheme. The advantage of recycling is that you’ll get tax relief on the money you reinvest. For example, a reinvestment of £14,400 will, after basic rate tax relief, give you a pension fund of £18,000. And when the new rules take effect in 2015 you can withdraw all of it, 25% of which will be tax free. Even after deducting pension fund charges that will give you a very decent return on the reinvestment.
If you reach 60 between now and April 2015 you can withdraw your pension funds in full with 25% being tax free. This can be done for up to three funds where they are worth no more than £10,000 each, or where all your funds together add up to £30,000 or less.

STARSHIP TROOPERS: 2 DISC SPECIAL EDITION.
OVERVIEW: This special-edition two-DVD set represents an improvement over the original 2 sided DVD release. This special edition includes all those features and adds an all-new half-hour documentary covering every aspect of the films production. Interviews all of the principal cast and crew including a new insightful and fun commentary track by costars Casper Van Dien, Dina Meyer, and Neil Patrick Harris. Director Paul Verhoeven is present to enhance their rousing reminiscence. Special FX comparisons show live-action "plates" before and after the addition of miniatures and/or digital effects, and commentary by composer Basil Poledouris on the isolated-score track offers privileged insight into the process of creating a motion-picture score. "Know Your Foe" featurettes explore the variety of "bugs" that populate the film, and Verhoeven--one of the liveliest of all DVD commentators--analyzes the techniques employed for two pivotal effects sequences.
Disc 1: * Feature film * Filmographies *
Disc 2: * New documentary: "Death from Above" * "Know Your Foe": five special-effects featurettes * The Starships of Starship Troopers * Nine special-effects comparisons * Three storyboard comparisons * Vintage featurette: The Making of Starship Troopers * Conceptual art galleries * Two scene deconstructions with commentary by Paul Verhoeven * Five deleted scenes * Johnny & Carmen screen tests * Bug test film "Don't Look Now"
2002 Sony 2 Disc DVD Special Edition Set. New and never played. Opened only to make sure disc 1 & 2 are inside. Then sealed in plastic for complete archival protection upon receipt here.

Sinclair’s Safety specialists can help you with Competent Person Lockout/Tagout Training. A “competent person” as defined by OSHA must ultimately have the ability to predict hazards and the authority to make changes to mitigate those hazards after training.
The goal of our training is designed to inform employees about the requirements for lockout/tagout during servicing and maintenance of machines or equipment. It’s to ensure that no injury to personnel or property damage occurs if an energy source is improperly or accidentally energized or opened. We’ll cover OSHA requirements, procedures for the application of locks and tags, and discuss the types of energy these procedures are designed to control.
Training Topics include:
- Conditions for Lockout/Tagout
- Purpose for Lockout/Tagout
- General Requirements for Lockout/Tagout
- Energy Control Application
- Release for Lockout/Tagout
- Energy Control Program
Safety training, OSHA compliance is part of our risk management approach.
Give us a call 203.265.0996, email us, or return the form on this page for more information.

25 COVID Mistakes You Don't Know You're Making
You're staying home. You're washing your hands for 20 seconds at a time. You're social distancing. But you've still got to function in the world, which means you're still at risk for catching the coronavirus, aka Covid-19. Here are 25 things that put you at risk, by Dr. Monika Stuczen, a medical microbiologist who knows her stuff. Read on, and to ensure your health and the health of others, don't miss these Sure Signs You've Already Had Coronavirus
You Think It Might Not Happen to You
If you don't follow advice from the CDC or your local government and you think that the coronavirus won't affect you and your family, you put yourself and other people at risk. This virus can affect everyone. It is new and your body doesn't have any protection (antibodies) against it. You never know how you will react to it. You may be asymptomatic (show no symptoms but be able to spread it), you may only have mild symptoms or develop severe pneumonia. You might have it right now.
You're Staying in Close Contact
….with an infected person or people showing flu-like symptoms. Of course you want to "be there" for your loved ones. But it's in their best interest, and yours, if they are quarantined.
You're Having Underlying Conditions
….such as cardiovascular and respiratory disease, asthma, immunological disorders, diabetes, cancer. These aren't mistakes, per se, but ignoring social distancing would be a mistake, as you'll be more susceptible to the coronavirus.
You're Ignoring Your Age
The Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CCDC) reported a death rate of 14.8 percent for patients over 80 years old and 8 percent for patients in their 70s. It decreased to 3.6 percent for people in their 60s and 1.3 percent for the 50-59 age group. The death rate for everyone under the age of 49 was below 0.5 percent—so clearly, age is one of the most major factors to consider.
You're Ignoring Your Gender
According to Chinese stats, the fatality for men was at 2.8 percent higher in comparison to 1.7 percent for women. It is not clear why men are more susceptible and there are many theories related to lifestyle, i.e. smoking and drinking. The fact that men are also more likely to have high-risk pre-existing conditions might also be a factor.
You're Visiting Crowded Places
…like supermarkets, public transport, restaurants, pubs. Make sure these places are enforcing social distancing rules properly. Wash your hands after entering, or use hand sanitizer if a sink is not available. Wear rubber gloves if you can. And don't touch your face. And never, ever go to bars.
You're Touching Things
…public transportation handrails, doorknobs, switches, toilet flushes. Again, wash your hands and don't touch your face. The CDC has clarified that they are not sure how badly the virus is transmitted on surfaces.
…with other people. Try the Vulcan salute or a wave instead.
You're Still Using Gym Equipment
There's a reason many gyms are closed: Many people touch gym equipment every day and viruses can survive on the surface for many hours.
You're Using Cosmetic and Personal Care Products
Testers in shops can spread the virus; remember what I said about touching your face?
You're Touching Screens
ATM machines, debit and credit cards—hundreds of people touch them every day, and you don't know where they've been.
You're Having a Poor Diet
This affects your immune system. The way how your body will respond to Covid-19 depends on the strength of your immune system. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables, which are rich in vitamins C and E, plus beta-carotene and zinc
You're Relying on Not Credible Sources
Are you constantly scanning Facebook or Instagram to obtain advice or news regarding Covid-19? Not only can this make you needlessly anxious, but the news may be fake.
You're Meeting with "Just a Few Friends"
…when the advice of social distancing is in place is dangerous. Even if it's "just family."
You're "Escaping" Your City
Escaping or traveling to less affected areas of the country (or to another country) puts many people at risk as you may bring the virus with you and contribute to community spreading. This is mainly why the virus has spread to most countries around the world and continues to spread.
You're Visiting Your Parents
….or grandparents. This puts them at risk of infection and if they are over 70 you put their life at risk.
You're Ignoring Any Symptoms
Some people ignore mild symptoms thinking that they have only cold. In this way they contribute to virus spread. Stay at home and heal.
You're Touching Fuel Pumps at Gas Stations
Studies have shown that coronavirus can survive on surfaces for up to 5 days so the road trippers are at risk of Covid-19 infection. Fuel pumps are touched by hundreds of people every day and they are a great source of microorganisms. Therefore, it is important to wear disposable gloves to fill up your tank. Make sure you take them off, wash your hands or use a hand sanitizer before you head into a shop to buy a sandwich or chips. It is a good practice to keep disinfectant wipes in your car to clean your hands and surfaces.
You're Going Straight to Your Doctor or Hospital When You Have Symptoms
When you experience any flu-like symptoms, don't go to the hospital or your doctor's office as you can spread the infection to other people or even to health professionals. Stay home and call your doctor immediately instead. They will tell you what to do. (If it's an emergency, dial 911.)
You're Trusting That Other People Are Not Infected
You may find yourself in a situation where your friends or family call you and say that they are absolutely fine and they want to meet you. As much as you trust and love them in this situation, you need to say no and stay at home. Around 40% of people with Covid-19 infection don't show any symptoms or have very mild symptoms so they won't even know they are infected. Moreover, the incubation time for this virus is between 2-14 days so the person may be already infected and spread the virus before the symptoms appear.
You're Touching Shopping Baskets and Carts in the Supermarkets
Shopping baskets and trolleys are touched by hundreds to thousands of hands every day. Make sure you wear disposable gloves when you visit a supermarket, don't touch your face, and use a hand sanitizer after.
You're Seeking Alternative Treatments
There is no treatment for Covid-19 up to date but there are plenty of fake cures circulating online. Bleach-based products, vitamin supplements in excess, hot air from the hairdryer, and iodine solutions can cause harm to your body and they don't give any benefits.
You're Not Careful Around Pets
If you live with pets, remember to quarantine yourself from them as well. There are no reports of pets becoming ill with Covid-19, but it's better if you stay away from your animal until more is known about the virus. It includes "petting, snuggling, being kissed or licked and sharing food," the CDC says. "If you must care for your pet or be around animals while you are sick, wash your hands before and after you interact with pets and wear a face mask."
You're Believing in Conspiracy Theories
Social media and even some news sites are full of misinformation and conspiracy theories, including some people who claim that the mystery of the virus' origin might indicate purposeful human involvement. Scientists already sequenced the genome of Covid-19 and proved that it evolved naturally and it wasn't created in the virus labs.
You Know the Hygiene Guidelines—But Aren't Following Them All
It may sound obvious, but practicing a good hygiene sometimes can be difficult. CDC recommendations include:
- avoiding close contact with people who are sick
- not touching your eyes, nose, and mouth
- staying at home if you are sick
- covering coughs or sneezes with a tissue
- cleaning and disinfecting touched objects and surfaces using disinfectant wipes
- wearing a face mask if you have symptoms of Covid-19 or you are a healthcare worker or you take care of someone who is sick
- washing your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or using a hand sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol.
As for yourself: To get through this pandemic at your healthiest, don't miss these 35 Places You're Most Likely to Catch COVID.

Police in the Czech Republic are investigating bizarre text messages that have allegedly been sent from retired army general and presidential candidate Petr Pavel.
Pavel beat billionaire Andrej Babiš in the first round of the Czech presidential election last weekend.
The messages say "Thank you for voting in the first round of the presidential elections for Petr Pavel. Please now report to the nearest branch of the Armed Forces, where you will receive the necessary weapons for mobilization to Ukraine."
The police are asking anyone who has received these messages to report them immediately.
It’s still unclear who is behind this campaign and who these texts have been sent to, but Pavel has denied they're from him and instead accused Babiš's camp of being behind it.
These messages come after weeks of accusations from the opposition claiming that if elected, Pavel will drag the country into a war against Russia
His main opponent Andrej Babiš put up billboards suggesting that the Czech Republic will be dragged into a full-scale war.
"I will not drag Czech Republic into the war. I am a diplomat. Not a soldier,” says the billboard.
Petr Pavel is a former chairman of NATO’s military committee, the alliance’s highest military body.
He has fully endorsed the country’s military and humanitarian support for Ukraine in its fight against Russia.
But the retired general has responded to the billboards by saying that no war is started by soldiers, but by politicians and that these messages are clearly fake.
Moreover, many experts have debunked Babiš' claims that Pavel could start a war with Russia.
Jan Kysela, a constitutional law expert explained on Facebook that the President of the Czech Republic does not have the power to declare war. This decision falls on both chambers of the Parliament.
"Neither our constitutional order nor the legal order as such confers on the President of the Republic any powers with which he could "drag" the Czech Republic into war, even if he wished to do so," concludes Kysela.
The second round of the presidential elections will take place on January 27 and 28. And both candidates have said that neither of them expects a fair fight from their opponent.

Holly Doremus, Daniel Farber, and Bill Falik quoted by California Magazine, Feb. 6, 2017
Doremus: “There’s not a lot of existing border fencing in Texas, so the wall would have to pass through a lot of private land where barriers haven’t been much of an issue until now,” she says. “And certainly, eminent domain seizures are not popular with Republicans in general and Texas Republicans in particular.”
Farber: “The wall would cost a lot, and its benefits are unclear, but the Secure Fence Act does give the administration pretty broad powers to dispense with legal requirements such as NEPA. I’d love to see it stopped, but it may be difficult.”
Falik: “It’s really expensive,” observes Bill Falik, a lecturer at Berkeley Law and a real estate developer, “and I’m not completely sure at this point that a Republican congress is going to be anxious to go along with that.” Nor is Falik convinced that federal statutes such as the Endangered Species Act and NEPA would suddenly turn the project into smoldering rubble; rather, they might inflict the death of a thousand torts.

Yom Ha’atzmaut (Israel Independence Day) celebrating the declaration of the state of Israel by David Ben-Gurion in Tel Aviv on May 14, 1948, and the end of the British Mandate in Israel. Although Yom Ha’atzmaut is normally observed on the 5th of Iyar, it may be moved earlier or postponed if observance of the holiday would conflict with Shabbat.
An official ceremony is held every year on Mount Herzl on the eve of Yom Ha’atzmaut. The ceremony includes a speech by the speaker of the Knesset. The Chief Rabbinate of Israel, along with many other religious authorities, have declared that Yom Ha’atzmaut is one of the Jewish holidays in which Hallel should be said.
For Jews living outside of Israel, celebrating Yom Ha’atzmaut is a way to express solidarity with Israel. In Israel, it is a national holiday, so almost everyone has the day off. National celebrations occur and additional prayers are offered for the nation. There are parades, fireworks, and of course the heartfelt singing of Hatikvah, the Israeli National Anthem.

[Python-ideas] Before and after the colon in funciton defs.

Yes, althought the current 3.2.2 manual does not make that clear enough.
I believe there is a tracker issue to clarify this.

No. The body of a function is executed when the function is called.
However, it is already the case that code objects for nested functions
*are* compiled just once. So just a nested function object has to be
assembled with each call. Default args and cell vars are part of each
new function object.

Jesus — The Mini-Series (CBS, May 14 and 17, 2000): A Review Article
W. Barnes Tatum (The Fourth R 13-14, July-August 2000)
Hollywood Jesus: Jesus
By David Bruce: garish and dated website (from 2000) that nevertheless features several useful features including Differences between the CBS and International Version and an Interview with Lorenzo Minoli (executive producer)
Where can find Jesus?
- The film is not currently included in any of the video streaming facilities (Netflix, Hulu, etc.) but it is available on Amazon Instant Video.
- There are two different versions of this film, the American (or “CBS”) version, which is 176 minutes long and the International (European) version, which is three hours long.
- The cheapest and easiest version to get hold of, especially if you are in America, is the following (Amazon): Jesus DVD. It is a vanilla release (one disc; no special features).
- There is currently no blu-ray release.
- You can order the longer international version here (Amazon UK): The Bible – Jesus [DVD]

PORTLAND, Maine — A Mainer who served as a Navy SEAL for 10 years is ready for the next adventure: Christopher Cassidy is headed to space aboard the shuttle Endeavour.
Liftoff is scheduled June 13 for the shuttle and its six-member crew. Cassidy is one of four astronauts making their first trips to space.
Through a series of five spacewalks, Cassidy and his crewmates will attach a Japanese experiment module to the International Space Station. At 16 days, it’s scheduled to be one of the longest shuttle missions and will tie the previous record for space walks.
The 39-year-old Cassidy was born in Salem, Mass., but considers his hometown to be York. The MIT grad served two tours in Afghanistan with the SEALs.

Thomas Bartlett & Nico Muhly with LCO
Address: LSO St Luke's
Using Colin McPhee’s transcriptions of Balinese music as a springboard for their own texturally hypnotic dual piano compositions, Nico Muhly and Doveman perform a collection of nine new songs.
Colin McPhee, whose music inspired tonight’s performance, was the first composer to seriously study the music of Java and Bali, producing a number of transcriptions for two pianos that reimagined the gamelan for Western ears. In turn, Nico Muhly and Doveman reimagine McPhee’s transcriptions for the 21st Century, borrowing their mesmerising interlocking patterns for a new collaborative album to be released on Nonesuch Records, Peter Pears: Balinese Ceremonial Music – which they will perform in its entirety tonight.
The record, ten years in the making, was born from Muhly’s and Bartlett’s shared love of Colin McPhee’s music. McPhee himself was a close friend of Benjamin Britten and his partner Peter Pears – an accomplished musician in his own right, for whom this collaborative project is named.

Happy New Year! I can’t believe we are in the year 2013. This year, I will have a 10 year old, a 7 year old, and a 4 year old. Where does the time go? Seriously! I am understanding now what my parents meant about children growing up so fast. I am cherishing every moment possible with lots of pictures, haha.
Since we are now in the new year, some changes have been made to our blessed homeschool. We will continue with A Beka curriculum as a supplement, but moving forward with unit studies and lapbooks and a lot of library time. Right now we are doing Michigan history with “Great Lakes” videos and books. The girls are having a great time learning about our lovely state. Changing this up has brought joy back into our homeschooling as there was a lot of heartache and struggles. Since the terrible tragedy in Connecticut, everything was put into perspective for me. Homeschooling looks more beautiful to me every day. I still think about those poor parents and families that have to move on without their precious children. So devastating.
As a member of the Schoolhouse Review Crew, I will be reviewing and blogging about a variety of curriculums and programs to find what works for my family. I received my first shipment and pretty excited about that. A lot of science, math, etc., in the near future. You will be able to view those reviews at www.brandonmhomeschool.com if interested as I cannot communicate about the products other than on my personal blog.
My little preschooler (3.5) is learning how to use the computer now. She loves it. We are currently covering her letters, numbers, and shapes. She is learning how to trace and write her name. She is so proud. In the weeks ahead I will be introducing her to www.starfall.com. It’s an excellent program for preschoolers and kindergarteners. She did a calendar lesson today on there and loved it. She learned to click and drag pictures onto the calendar, so fun.
We are now in the final semester for Homeschool Connections classes. The girls will be resuming next semester with more classes. Since we are signed up through the homeschool partnership through a local virtual school program, it’s great to get our homeschool classes paid for. In the fall of 2013, I am looking to add online Oxford Virtual courses into the mix. Right now looking at foreign languages for cup cake (9.5) and sweet pea (6).
Tonight, sweet pea will be completing session two of gymnastics. She is so excited to move forward with session three. It is family night tonight, so siblings get to participate on the equipment too. The girls are also continuing with dance classes and piano lessons. Love being busy!
Tomorrow we will be participating in Fun Friday at for homeschool fellowship. There will be open gym time for two hours then the kids will be playing board games that they choose to bring while sipping hot chocolate. Should be a fun time.
What are your plans for your homeschool in 2013? Happy Homeschooling!

BRATTLEBORO—Former Ambassador Peter Galbraith will speak on “The Iran Nuclear Agreement: Why It Is Good for America and How It May Change the Middle East,” as the first in the Windham World Affairs Council’s new “Hot Off the Press” presentations meant to inform civic dialogue on issues of the moment.
The free talk will take place on Friday, July 24, at 7 p.m. at the new performance space in town, 118 Elliot, located on 118 Elliot St., across from the fire station.
Last week, the United States and Iran reached an agreement where the U.S. would loosen economic sanctions against Iran in exchange for several key concessions regarding Iran’s nuclear program.
“Like any negotiated agreement, the test for the Iran Accord is not whether it is exactly what we wanted but whether it is better than the alternative,” Galbraith said.
“This agreement is better than I expected. It eliminates the plutonium route to a bomb, reduces by 96 percent Iran’s supply of enriched uranium and includes permanent [International Atomic Energy Agency] monitoring.
“The alternatives are a nuclear-armed Iran, military strikes with a very uncertain result, or a continuation of sanctions in the forlorn hope of a better deal.”
Galbraith has spent much of the past year in the Kurdish-controlled portions of Iraq and Syria, where the Kurds are engaged in battle with the Islamic State, otherwise known as ISIS. He believes this new U.S.-Iran agreement will be important in the fight against ISIS.
“In spite of decades of official hostility, the United States and Iran have many common interests,” Galbraith said. “Both strongly oppose Sunni extremism in the form of al-Qaeda and ISIS. Both want to keep the Taliban from coming back in Afghanistan. Both support the Iraqi government, which is led by pro-Iranian Shiite religious parties.
”This agreement may open the door to cooperation in other areas, perhaps most importantly in Syria where both have an interest in preventing a takeover by Sunni extremists and therefore in finding a settlement.”
Additionally, Galbraith believes we might soon see the sort of rapid political change in Iran that we saw a generation ago in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, when the Iron Curtain collapsed and the Cold War ended.
“Iran may be on the cusp of the same kind of rapid political change that we saw in the Soviet Union in the late 1980s,” he said. “The hard-liners have lost control of the society. The Iranian people are the most pro-American in the Middle East.
“It is clear that this agreement greatly strengthens the reformers. The best long-term strategy for containing Iran’s nuclear ambitions is continued political change in the country, and that is what this agreement makes possible.”
Galbraith, who now lives in Townshend, served as ambassador to Croatia during the Clinton administration and helped negotiate the peace treaty that ended the war in that nation in 1995. He also worked for the United Nations in East Timor and Afghanistan and has written two books on the U.S. invasion of Iraq and its consequences.
He also served in the Vermont Senate from 2011 to 2015.
Coffee and cookies will be served before the talk at 6:30 p.m.

As I was browsing and looking for credible finds of toys, I stumbled across a set of action figures from Stan Winston creation.
These figures dates back to 2001 when Stan winston started to realize his creations into toys, which in the article of ToyFare (October 2001), he commended Todd McFarlane for doing a great job on his creations like Pumpkin Head, Terminator , Edward Scissorshands etc. And he somehow decides to bring his creation into reality by himself.
Passed away on 15th June 2008, Stan Winston has created notable creatures which we grew up knowing in fear and fantasy and now I able to get a piece of the master's mind in action figures.
Since I just got them, they will remain in the box until I release them for my photo-taking. For now, I just took them in MIB first.
Due to age, some yellowing of the bubbles are inevitable but I do not care as long as the figures are in great condition and the price is good.
Speaking of the figures, they are well ahead of their time in 2001, just like McFarlane's figures. The details and attention to hide joints are given serious thoughts. You can tell that if you observe closely.
The cards of each figure bears it's characters' pictures and each figure comes with a base and accessories.
But why do these figures aren't well received simply because they are not as popular. A niche group may know Mutant Earth or even read about them. So at that time the price of these figures are surprisingly reasonable around USD 10, which Stan may want to market at an affordable price.
Most collectors goes for brand and popularity. At times, you are missing the idea behind. I am glad these did not sky rocketed in price. Even as I mentioned the cool side of these toys, these figures are not going to hike up because Stan Winston's passing. We should give credits to Stan Winston's for his innovations for the movies which his studio ihas contributed and he dares his creations into action figures, which are affordable.
So before I take chances to portrait them, here are they as carded. Oh, this set actually have 6 figures, I only got the best 4.
At first, I only wanted to get Horrg, which resembles Stan Winston's "The Swamp Thing" but all 4 displays great details to my surprise. So here they are.
Their next appearance will be under "Portrait of Toys" column.

Here’s the long-awaited D90 video sample from me. :-) You can watch it on YouTube by clicking here. Or download the original file here (35312.7K). Or watch it on the Posterous platform here. What’s most interesting is how much better the Posterous version is–you’ve got to love what Posterous is doing. (Here’s a higher resolution YouTube version, but people don’t see this option in embedded players.)

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi: "In passing health reform, we made history for our nation and progress for the American people. We completed the unfinished business of our society and strengthened the character of our country. We ensured health care would be a right for all, not a privilege for the few. Today, the Supreme Court affirmed our progress and protected that right, securing a future of health and economic security for the middle class and for every American."
House Speaker John Boehner: "The president's health care law is hurting our economy by driving up health costs and making it harder for small businesses to hire. Today's ruling underscores the urgency of repealing this harmful law in its entirety. What Americans want is a common-sense, step-by-step approach to health care reform that will protect Americans' access to the care they need, from the doctor they choose, at a lower cost. Republicans stand ready to work with a president who will listen to the people and will not repeat the mistakes that gave our country ObamaCare."
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor: "The Court's decision brings into focus the choice the American people have about the direction of our country. The President and his party believe in massive government intrusions that increase costs and take decisions away from patients. In contrast, Republicans believe in patient-centered, affordable care where health care decisions are made by patients, their families and their doctors, not by the federal government."
House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer:"Our highest court has weighed in, and its decision to uphold the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is a victory for all Americans who have ever worried about being able to access or afford the care they need. Democrats are proud to have worked hard to pass this landmark legislation in 2010 and of our efforts to make sure it is implemented in a way that continues to yield new benefits for patients, employers, and care providers."
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid: "I'm happy, I'm pleased to see the Supreme Court put the rule of law ahead of partisanship."
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell: "Today's decision makes one thing clear: Congress must act to repeal this misguided law...The bill was sold to the American people on a deception."
Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., a key architect of the law: "This is a win for millions of American families, small businesses, and seniors who are getting more affordable health care, tax cuts, and protections from insurance company abuses thanks to this law. Now it's time to put politics aside. We need to move forward and find ways to work together to put America back on track."
House Republican Policy Committee Chairman Tom Price: "Today's ruling by the Supreme Court has set a dangerous precedent by allowing this administration to continue pursuing its unbridled effort to erode personal freedom and undo the principles upon which this country was founded... President Obama's health care law trumps personal health care choices in exchange for a more powerful Washington. It will force American citizens to endure diminished quality of care, increased insurance costs, health care rationing and excessive taxation brought on by an overzealous Washington bureaucracy. We have no choice but to exercise every possible legislative option to repeal this disastrous law, and the American people should know that House Republicans will continue to advocate on their behalf to restore personal control over health care decisions."
Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio: "While the Court has deemed the law constitutional as a tax on the American people, it is still flawed policy that is unaffordable for our families, our small businesses, and our government. The President's one-size-fits-all health care spending law is the centerpiece of a failed agenda that has increased economic uncertainty, stalled job creation, and deepened the spending hole that Washington has dug."
Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore.: "Today's decision creates a clear path forward. We must now focus on how to best deliver affordable, high-quality health care for every American."
Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y.: "This decision preserves not only the health care law, but also the Supreme Court's position as an institution above politics. Just as Speaker Boehner vowed not to spike the football if the law was overturned, Republicans should not carry on out of pique now that the law has been upheld. Democrats remain willing to cooperate on potential improvements to the law, but now that all three branches of government have ratified this law, the time for quarreling over its validity is over. Congress must now return its full-time focus to the issue that matters most to the public, and that is jobs."
Rep. Ben Quayle, R-Ariz.: "Unfortunately, the Supreme Court's decision will not put a stop to the gross abuse of federal power that we have seen so often from the Obama Administration, but we must not give up in our efforts to protect our constitutional rights from government overreach...This decision by no means spells defeat."
Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah: "Today's decision makes it all the more important--and likely--that the Affordable Care Act will be repealed after the elections this November. It is essential that members of Congress, as the people's elected representatives, act to protect individual liberty. When we look back at today's decision in the coming months and years, I believe it may ultimately be regarded not as a victory for the Affordable Care Act but instead as a recognition and validation of federalism, limited government, and the freedoms protected by our constitutional structure."
Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif.: "Unlike the president I believe that the Supreme Court has spoken and now they've said they're deferring to Congress and Congress needs to deal with whether personal freedom is going to include a mandate to do things. And whether by congressional action we can take back that mandate which we think is un-American."
Rep. David Dreier, R-Calif.: "Today's ruling makes clear what many of us have said all along - the flawed healthcare law represents one of the largest tax increases in American history. As our economy continues to struggle, we need to be reducing the tax burden on small businesses and working families, not increasing it."

Ross Island is a beautiful destination to visit when in Andaman and Nicobar Islands. This is a lovely place to tour if you want to make a day out it by traversing for hours amidst its historical importance. Ross Island was the headquarters of the British colony and today it houses its ruins of the buildings that were built during the British time. The Islands century old trees have captured few important landmarks by its wild vines, roots, and trunks like the Officers Quarters and rundown Church of the British times. Besides, some must visit attractions in Ross Island are like the Chief Commissioner's house, the Cathedral, and Graveyard of the Britishers. Today, if you visit the Island you will see the state of the art light and sound show commissioned by the tourism department to keep alive the vibes of the past. However, when in Ross Island, you are bound to get a great panoramic view of the nearby Island and get a chance to see a number of animals like peacocks, deers and ducks amidst the cool breeze and the amazing view of the sea.
Getting to Ross Island is not a difficult task, there are plenty of ferry ride from Marine Park, Port Blair. To cover the entire Island in a day, it is wise to take a ferry in the morning and return back in the afternoon because the ferries run from 7 am to 3 pm.
Ross Island has become a hot spot tourist destination to see its ruins and savour the glory of the bygone days.
The best time to visit the Ross Island is during the months of November to February. These months are an ideal time to visit and explore the Island because during this season the weather remains fresh resulting best for sightseeing and other water activities.

The Democrat May Have Come Out On Top In That Special House Election In Georgia.........
However, it may have been a victory for the GOP after all since the Democrat did not pass the 50% threshold needed to avoid a runoff. The Republicans now have a real chance to keep the Congressional seat in suburban Atlanta.

I came across Galata Simitçisi (bakery) around 2012, while I was working very close to the Karaköy area. We had some daily routines during those days; one of the was taking our “simit” (pastry rings) from Galata Simitçisi nearby and going to a tea house near it to eat them.
Simit is a cheap and very popular type of street food. But Galata Simitçisi is different from the others, with their traditional baking methods and flavour. Nowadays, Karaköy is one of the most popular place with shining cafes in Istanbul. But Galata Simitçisi is still keeping their style.
The bakery itself is very small. There are only two tables in front of the bakery. In winter it won’t be possible to sit outside. Take-away is the best option here. Also they serve Kandil simidi (pastry rings covered with sesame,consumed in holy days), which are my favorite.

LABOUR is today accused of “betraying” council workers in Southampton as it unveils sweeping council cuts to jobs and services to tackle the city’s worst ever cash crisis.
Around 250 jobs are expected to be put at risk, the highest number in the history of the authority, when a draft budget is released later to plug a gaping budget hole.
Labour admitted there would be “significant staff reductions” but put the blame on the Government for imposing worse than expected funding cuts.
Staff will be given the grim news in a series of meetings this morning.
Union leaders have been shown a confidential copy of the budget and have been consulted on the cuts.
They will hold a mass meeting of members on Thursday to decide whether or not to take any industrial action.
Labour has already announced that 200 temporary workers at the council will lose their jobs in the coming years to free up potential roles for permanent staff facing redundancy.
Some long-serving temps will be offered full employment.
The spending plans will see swingeing cuts to the council’s adult care budget as wells as parks, open spaces and street cleaning.
It is expected that costs will be slashed across the city’s 14 Sure Start children’s centres and at least a dozen middle and senior managers in children’s services will be shown the door as part of a departmental shakeup.
Options under consideration also included a cull of 30 youth support workers with up to 11 centres offered to voluntary organisations to run.
City patrol officers and park wardens were also expected to be among the job casualties.
WEEKLY BIN COLLECTIONS UNDER THREAT
A failure to secure £8m from a Government recycling fund could see Labour axe weekly rubbish collections in the city with the loss of a dozen bin men jobs while charges could be brought in for green waste pick-ups.
PAY TO PARK OUTSIDE YOUIR HOME?
Residents could also be made to pay to park outside their own homes under a plan to charge £30 for first residents’ permits that a currently free.
Four years ago a joint Labour and Lib Dem administration approved the controversial policy to bring in charges for first residents’ permits during a twomonth spell in power, but it was overturned by Tories after the Daily Echo launched a campaign in support of outraged residents.
New evening charges for the city centre parking are also being planned to raise up to half a million a year while free parking at district centres could be scrapped and a 50p an hour charge brought in.
FEES COULD RISE?
Burial fees under review Elsewhere burial, cremation and rat catching fees are expected to go up by five per cent due to competition from the private sector.
Gypsies and travellers will also be charged more for water and electricity at the council’s Kanes Hill site.
OAP DISCOUNT COULD BE AXED AND COUNCIL TAX GOES UP?
A controversial ten per cent council tax discount for pensioners is also expected to be ditched while special constables may no longer receive a full council tax discount.
Labour is expected to reject a short-term Government offer of funding to help keep down council tax and put it up by two per cent, an average of almost £25 a year, to avoid a funding gap in future years.
An announcement of the budget plans was postponed last month to give council leaders a clearer picture of its finances and more time to prepare the cuts, hikes in charges and redundancies needed to plug a £26m deficit over the next financial year.
The budget gap is estimated to be £42m over the next two years.
Finance boss Councillor Simon Letts warned then that the council had already cut out the fat, paired the flesh down to the bone and was facing the prospect of “removing limbs”.
Tories said the Labour administration was in “chaos” and had no excuse for the “unprecedented” delay in letting staff know if they would be out of a job.
Conservative group leader Councillor Royston Smith said: “Labour promised staff there would no redundancies and they’ve betrayed hundreds who are going.
“And it’s betrayal to the public who they promised to deliver certain things and they’ve reneged on every single one of those commitments.”
Cllr Smith added: “We would have found alternative ways to fund the deficit, through outsourcing, continuing to share services and would not have restored pay (cuts) which was to protect 400 jobs.”
The restoration of pay cuts brought in last year by the Tories will add £650,000 to the council’s budget next year, rising to £2.2m when the full pay deal is implemented in two years.
Councillor Letts declined to discuss details of the budget ahead of meetings with staff today but last night said: “We have worked tirelessly to protect frontline services and drive out costs.
“By a process of negotiation we have achieved savings on the Capita (outsourcing) contract which this year will amount to close to four million pounds.
“We are a people-based organisation with many of our costs tied up in wages.
“It is with regret that the proposals today will mean significant staff reductions.
“The council will do all it can to find other opportunities for the affected staff.
We have a good record of keeping compulsory redundancies to a minimum and feel our new redeployment policy will help in this process.”
He added: “The Government needs to accept that reductions of this scale cannot continue without a profound and lasting impact on our society.”
Cllr Letts said the savings in the city from this year’s budget and the next amounted to £353 per household.
Unison branch secretary Mike Tucker said all the jobs at risk were a “direct consequence” of Tory policies in Southampton and Westminster.
He blamed the previous Conservative administration for running down the reserves and going on a “massive spending spree” of capital projects, such as the £15m Sea City Museum, which has saddled the council with hefty interest payment.
He said unions would work with the council to avert compulsory redundancies and would campaign to protect jobs and services.
“Council workers should not pay for a crisis we did not cause,” he said.

Taylar's Awakening Ch. 03bysexualrelief7191©
Angela laughed a little and gave me a kiss on my forehead. "You were incredible Taylar...now how would you like to feel my dildo inside of you?"
I nodded happily and got up removed the dildo. She strapped in out to her sexy thighs and told me to lie the bed and remove my panties. They too, were soaked in my pre-cum juices. My pussy wasn't nearly as large and I this was going to be tighter. She leaned over me and I was braced for her dildo. However, she stuck her tongue inside instead. "Honey, you are so tight," she said. "Let me loosen you up a bit." She continued with her tongue action, deeper and deeper inside. I was moaning incessantly at this point. The pleasure that I had felt thus far wasn't comparable to this. It was almost too much pleasure for me to take.
She was soon satisfied and announced that I was open enough. She took the dildo and slowly slid in itself my pussy. I let out a small scream at the sudden feeling of the rod inside of me. It was slightly painful but mostly an awesome feeling. She pumped in methodically and slow at first. She was letting me adjust first. Surely and slowly, she increased the speed of her pumping until she was going at a pace I was with her. I moaned, groaned and yelled at the power of her fucking. I knew I was going to cum, but I need to prolong it. I didn't want this to end so soon.
After a few minutes of constant pounding, I announced that I could take anymore. I let my juices drip out and I even started squirting out. Angela bent and tried to get as much of my juices as possible. I was gushing out much more than she had. Eventually, the torrent ended and I relaxed. Now I felt like I had run the marathon. I was shaking all over at my sexual release. Angela snuggled with me and we held each other for what seemed like forever. I felt so close her now that I never wanted to let go.
"I love you."
She looked at me and gave me a quick kiss and replied, "I love you too sweetie." We got up and decided to take a shower together to clean off our juices. It was my third shower of the day, but I didn't mind. We washed each other, felt up each other's bodies, kissed under the hot steaming water and caressed each others feet. She wiped off my fading toenail polish, promising me that she would repaint it any color I wanted tomorrow and work on my hair for at her salon tomorrow, free of charge. I was excited for her to do something with my looks finally. After drying off and brushing my teeth, we went back to my room. She tucked me in like a little child she gave me another kiss on the lips and said goodbye.
Before she left I stopped her. "Tomorrow is our last day together," I said sadly.
She gave me her warm smile. "Then we have to make the best out of tomorrow then." She turned my light off and walked back to her room. For a second day in a row, she left me excited for the next day. I rubbed my clean soles together under the covers. I was going to make the best of our last day together. I almost exactly feel asleep, thinking about Angela and how much I loved her.....

Needs Videos If it had the same videos they have on there free websight I would think about paying. Let's be honest those videos are amazing :)
Lol Not paying for the information that I can get from other apps

Annoying prompt to buy There always a pop up menu that almost forcing you to buy it. Its really annoying.

Day Five, 10 - 11 p.m.
What is it with 24
and airing colossally huge episodes during the national championship basketball game? Last year, it was the episode where Air Force One was attacked and this year we have the dramatic revelation that....wait for it...President Logan is the mastermind of this entire plot!
Now this is one of those huge revelations that should have been jaw-dropping but wasn't. The show worked too hard to set us up to dislike and suspect the vice-president so that seemed way too obvious a choice. It did lend some tension to the scenes with Wayne Palmer at the compound, but beyond that, it was a blind alley. Also, I have to bring this up because, well, I can. So, Logan is behind all this and if we follow the logic of 24, Jack Bauer is the only man who can stop him. With me so far?
Now last year Jack really torqued off the Chinese and odds are they'd be really upset to find out Jack is still running about, saving America's collective rear end from the deadly threats of terrorism. So if I'm Logan, I'm calling up the Chinese and tipping them off that, oh by the way, Jack is still alive. Because I would think this would severely complicate things and it might effectively put Jack on the sidelines.
Of course, that assumes we know what Logan's role is in all of this. I think we need some motivation here. Sure seeing him on the other end of the phone talking to Henderson is a nice cliffhanger moment, but we've got to find a way to make it pay off. It can't just be a super cool moment to end an episode and nothing more. If it is, I'm going to be annoyed.
Meanwhile, over at CTU, things are not going well. Audrey has to sell-out the entire staff in order to keep Chloe in the loop. And Homeland Security is playing big bully on the block, taking over and firing everyone in sight. And yet as duplicitious as Homeland Security is, they don't see anything could be suspicious about Audrey suddenly changing her mind and loyalties. She goes from, "Oh, I'm proud of what we've done today" to "No, really where do I sign?" in under five minutes. I think I'd wonder why she had this sudden change of heart.
And in keeping with the finest tradition of not really acknowledging that events are supposed to be unfolding minute by minute, Jack is able to dig himself out of a car covered in burning debris and carry Bierko out on his back in under two minutes. Man, that Jack--he takes a licking and keeps on ticking.
I also had a moment in the episode when Wayne confronted Evelyn about what she knew and Evelyn reveals she can't tell or her daugher dies. Anyone else want to hear Wayne say, "There's only one man who can help us now...Jack Bauer!" I am telling you that would have been awesome!

“I don’t want to go.”
My granddaughter turned a tear-stained gaze upward to mine. Although she was only seven, I already saw glimpses in her face of the fine-boned curves that would one day make her the image of her mother.
“I know,” I sighed. “But the soldiers will be here soon, and we must leave. You know that, my sweet big girl.” I sat down on the floor next to her. “We talked about this. You remember, don’t you?”
“Yes. But Grandmama, what about Aviva? My best friend--Papa says she’ll be forty kilometers away! And my bedroom, and my school...” She covered her eyes with her hands, as if to shut out the vision of a dismal future. “It’s not fair. I won’t go.”
At a loss for words, I remembered what my mother had taught me: Always speak truth to children. This I had done for my granddaughter, and her mother before her.
“You’re right,” I said gently. “It’s not what we want. But it will happen. And we must accept it.”
“No! Grandmama, we don’t even know where they will put Mama.”
My eyes filled with quick tears. It was true. All the graves were to be moved, the government had told us, but we did not yet know where my daughter’s body would be reburied.
The stubborn set of her jaw, so like her mother’s at that age, was almost painful to see. “Darling, what does Papa say about this? Do you remember?”
“He says that nothing in the Middle East has been fair for a long time, for anyone. He says that we must go.” She sighed in deep resignation. “All right, Grandmama. I’ll go.”
I nodded approvingly. “Good girl.” I changed the subject. “What’s in that suitcase?” I pointed to a small, shabby canvas bag in the corner. Her eyes followed my gesture. “Papa said I could pack one bag, just for me. He said it would help me feel at home in the new place.”
I nodded solemnly. “Your Papa is wise. What did you pack?”
“Well,” she said, brightening a little, “I’m taking my new ring, and the Queen Esther doll that Papa gave me for Purim, and my ball, books, chocolates...”
I laughed. “How will you fit all that into one bag?” I rumpled her hair. “I’m just teasing. But I think you might be forgetting something important that’s going with us.”
“Can you think of another time when our people had to leave their homes? When they were frightened?”
She shook her head. “What do you mean?”
“Well, what did we celebrate during Nisan?”
“Pesach. Ohhhh,” she breathed. “You mean that when Moses led our people out of Egypt, they must have been afraid, too?”
“Yes. But Who did they have with them?”
She smiled broadly. “G_d! In a cloud!”
“And what happened?”
“He parted the Red Sea. He saved them!”
I smiled. “Right. So, you see, wherever we go, G_d will be with us, guiding us, and taking good care of you because...He loves you! I do, too.” I gave her what I hoped was a reassuring hug. “Come now, take your bag.”
We walked outside, where my son-in-law was waiting, and, one last time, I breathed in the good, fresh air of our farm. My eyes scanned the horizon. Where there had been only barren sand a quarter century ago, rows of hothouses now glittered like diamonds, brilliant in the morning sunshine. “Time to read your Psalm,” I said, handing my granddaughter a well-worn book, once her mother’s.
“By the waters of Babylon, there we sat down and wept, when we remembered Zion...” she began. She had learned it well. Her voice was thin, but unwavering, as if she had been pondering the words. “Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if I do not remember you...”*
We climbed into the packed car. She clung to my hand, a little more tightly than usual, I thought. “Come, sweetheart, you sit with me while Papa drives.”
My heart turned toward Jerusalem. The car turned to the northeast. And so it was that, together, we drove away from our home in Netzer Hazani, the heart of the Gaza Strip.

A teenager, seriously hurt in a violent crash, continues to fight for his life at a Lexington hospital.
17-year-old Nicolas Petit-Frere was driving Monday night on Russell Cave Road when he lost control. Hit a rock fence and a tree.
The crash killed 15-year-old Nathaniel Lee Stuckey. 16-year-old Jasmine Marks and 17-year-old Kierra Fulz were injured in the crash as well.
All four teenagers were students at Bryan Station High School in Lexington. Grief counselors were called to the school on Tuesday to help students cope with the tragic news.
As of Wednesday afternoon, Petit-Frere was still listed in critical condition. Marks was in serious and Fluz was in fair condition.
Visitation for Stuckey will be Saturday from 11:00 to 1:00 at the Temple of Prayer Church on Parkside Drive in Lexington. His funeral will follow the visitation at one at the church.

After all, as author AA Milne writes, “(I) a man really likes potatoes, he has to be decent enough. »
Although we celebrate potatoes and sweet potatoes as a group, the two are not genealogically linked. “White potatoes are part of the nightshade family, and sweet potatoes are part of the morning glory family,” says Beth Czerwony, a nutritionist at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio.
However, both have similar nutritional value. “Don’t underestimate traditional potatoes,” says Czerwony. “People think, ‘Oh, there’s no nutritional value, they’re basic,’ but white potatoes contain antioxidants like flavonoids that can help reduce free radical damage. »
If you hate peeling potatoes, you’re in luck. “I always encourage people to eat the skin,” says Czerwony, because that’s where potatoes and sweet potatoes store their high fiber content. Sweet potatoes are also powerhouses of vitamin A, which comes from the beta-carotene pigment that gives them their gorgeous golden color.
If you ever need an excuse to eat potatoes or sweet potatoes, now you have more than one. and what to choose?
Potatoes come in a variety of textures and colors: waxy red potatoes, buttery Yukon gold, starchy fruit bats, and gorgeous purple potatoes, to name a few. Same goes for sweet potatoes. You’ll usually find the popular orange gem varieties in supermarkets, but there are also garnets with red skin, Hanna sweet potatoes with buff flesh and light brown skin, and Japanese sweet potatoes like Okinawan with purple skin and white guts.
Choose from a few different types and try them out in the recipes below, and get ready for ideas that go beyond the basics. Sweet or salty, spicy or comforting, potatoes will always satisfy your cravings.
It’s easier than it looks: After washing the potatoes, slice the potatoes along the length of the potato with a sharp chef’s knife, then brush with olive oil or butter and season with salt or seasoning mix. Bake at 425°F (218°C) until potatoes are tender.
If baby sweet potatoes or fingerling potatoes are your favorites, crush them and get the same creamy inside, crispy outside without slicing or dicing.
This technique only works with small whole potatoes, so unfortunately there are no sweet potato analogs here.
Homemade Chips or Chips
Potato tacos weren’t just invented by the fast food industry—they have a long history in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine, and in true melting pot style, they can be paired with other vegetables, meats, and sauces in many ways. Potato tacos every day of the week? I wouldn’t say no. try:
Hash Brown Waffles
If you love hash browns, it’s even easier than frying these classic fries. Like hash browns, hash browns waffles can be served with sour cream, smoked salmon, or any other favorite brunch side dish. (Caviar? Yes, I’ll be there in a minute.)

Yesterday’s news about LEGO Dimensions was exciting, with the set images for Ghostbusters, A-Team, Mission Impossible, Harry Potter, and Adventure Time. This morning brings us the official trailer for the next wave of characters, and there are some fantastic ones!
In the trailer, we’re introduced to a number of new faces, including:
We still have a number of new things to look forward too, including Beetlejuice, Knight Rider, and the Powerpuff Girls!
Who else did you spot in the trailer? Let us know in the comments!
And remember, you can still get many of the original wave of Dimensions packs for nearly 50 percent off.
You can read the official press release below.
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, TT Games and The LEGO® Group today announced the expansion of LEGO® DIMENSIONS™, the LEGO® toy and videogame hybrid, with more blockbuster franchises and even bigger gameplay possibilities. New expansion packs broaden the complete selection to 30 of the world’s most popular entertainment brands allowing players to customise their experience by mixing and matching favourite characters and universes with full compatibility. Game features adding to the fun are all-new, four-player competitive Battle Arenas, a first for LEGO® videogames, as well as Story Packs, which provide deep, story-driven gameplay around the biggest theatrical releases and include a fresh LEGO® brick building experience.
LEGO® Dimensions™ packs based on 16 new entertainment properties will begin launching on September 30, 2016 with the Ghostbusters Story Pack, Adventure Timeand Mission: Impossible Level Packs, Harry Potter and Adventure Time Team Packs, and The A-Team Fun Pack. Additional expansion packs based on other highly anticipated films Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and The LEGO® Batman Movie and wildly popular properties The Goonies, Sonic The Hedgehog, Teen Titans Go!, LEGO® City Undercover, Knight Rider, The Powerpuff Girls, Gremlins, Beetlejuice and E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial will be released in product waves stretching into summer of next year. All expansion packs provide players with continued compatibility to use everything from waves 1-9 interchangeably, anywhere throughout the game. And no new starter pack is required, as all new packs will simply enhance the LEGO® Dimensions™ Starter Pack game and work with the existing LEGO® Toy Pad.“We’ve built upon the existing LEGO® DIMENSIONS™ Starter Pack to expand the gameplay possibilities with entirely new LEGO® experiences that can’t be found anywhere else,” said Tom Stone, Managing Director, TT Games. “We can now provide players with even more customization and mash-up opportunities, and all are compatible with the existing game and packs. Battle Arenas also introduce a fun new way for friends and family to join the action together and battle as favorite characters, which is an exciting innovation for LEGO® videogames.”
“LEGO® DIMENSIONS™ is a significant part of our LEGO® videogames portfolio, and we are excited to offer fans many more iconic entertainment franchises combined with new, enhanced ways to play,” said David Haddad, President, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “TT Games continues to innovate and expand the game experience, which gives players breakthrough digital and physical gameplay with an amazing amount of world-class entertainment properties connected together.”
“We are excited to continue our partnership with TT Games and WBIE and bring even more characters to life through LEGO® DIMENSIONS™,” said Niels Jørgensen, Vice President, Digital Games for the LEGO® Group. “The videogame has allowed our fans to extend their LEGO® play experience in a whole new way and the new expansion packs will create even more play possibilities through exciting properties.”
All-new Battle Arenas will offer first-to-LEGO® videogames competitive split-screen local gameplay for up to four players. LEGO® minifigures included in the wave 6 through 9 expansion packs will come with special, golden Toy Tags which unlock a Battle Arena within the Free Play Adventure World of the corresponding entertainment brand. Each Battle Arena has four different gameplay modes and comes with its own traps, special powers and interactive environments that make every battle arena unique.
The Ghostbusters Story Pack, based on the upcoming film, will provide a complete movie-based gameplay experience with six puzzle-packed levels and new LEGO® Gateway bricks that allow players to build Zhu’s Chinese Restaurant atop the LEGO® Toy Pad. It will also come with a buildable Abby Yates LEGO® minifigure with Proton Blaster and 3-in-1 buildable Ecto-1 which can be rebuilt into the Ectozer and The PerfEcto. The pack unlocks “Rip,” a new Toy Pad mode allowing players to tear open an alternate universe. In this mirror world, players have the ability to solve puzzles and affect objects and other items in the primary universe. And like all gold-tag minifigures purchased, Abby Yates provides access to a new themed Adventure World with its own unique Battle Arena. The Ghostbusters Story Pack is just the first of this new exciting pack type, with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, based on the highly anticipated theatrical release, still to come later this year. The LEGO®DIMENSIONS™ packs will be the exclusive construction toy offering this holiday for the exciting expansion of J.K Rowling’s Wizarding World.
Story Packs also expand the Starter Pack story with deeper gameplay. In the game’s storyline, the evil Lord Vortech has hidden portions of his powers around the LEGO® Multiverse. As players progress through Story Pack levels, they can unearth and tap into Keystone Runes to use Lord Vortech’s powers against him through all-new Toy Pad modes.
Developed by TT Games and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, LEGO® DIMENSIONS™ is now available for PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment systems, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and the Wii U™ system.

“It is necessary, and even vital, to set standards for your life and the people you allow in it.”
~ Mandy Hale
When you have an expectation and trust that your significant other will follow through and does not, it can lead to resentment, frustration and bewilderment.
There is obviously an avoidance issue going on as he is avoiding something. Avoidance happens to be the number one coping technique.
This type of behavior is damaging to a relationship even if it is in the beginning stages of dating.
Ask him why he does not follow through and see if you can understand the break down in his mis-communication. You can also ask him what he wants and make him aware that what he says is not in alignment of how he behaves.
If he continually hurts and disappoints you, you have to get clear and ask your inner guidance what you want and if it is worth it for you to continue this relationship.
You cannot change his behavior but you can change how you choose to handle yours.
At the very least, if he is just preoccupied or too busy to follow through, do you really want this kind of person in your life?
Ask yourself what you really want and if it is for someone to be present and cognizant of honoring and respecting you, then perhaps you need to move on. Your intuition already knows so tune in and your answer lies within.
Constance Clancy, Ed.D. – www.drconstanceclancy.com
The dreaded lack-of-follow-through.
We have all experienced this at one time or another and until we change our mindset around it or have the tools to effectively handle it, it will continue to drive us crazy.
As with all relationship issues, the most effective method of action, is a shift in perception from fear to love.
In this case our perspective must change from “I am not worthy of a respectful partner” to “I am worthy a respectful partner”.
If we are continuing to process his behaviors through subconscious filter of unworthiness like: I’m not good enough – I should have done blank differently – I need to give him more attention – It’s my job to manage the dates etcetera, we are in the wrong mind frame.
Our job entering and during a relationship is to take care of ourselves first.
Our heart and well-being must be our main priority. That means, we must know (and fully own) our value in a relationship especially in the early stages.
What we show up to the door with is exactly we are going to sell to our potential partner. If we allow crap behaviors like disrespect, we have set the theme of our relationship from here on out.
Many women are so afraid of appearing like a bitch that they do not speak their truths. This is a dreaded mistake.
There is no bitch in empowerment.
Teaching others how to treat us is not about being mean. Contrarily, it is a highly loving gesture toward self!
I just had this conversation yesterday with a client.
She was explaining how she was supposed to meet a man last Friday for a coffee date. He no called, no showed.
When he did contact her again, he laid out a lame excuse that she was willing to buy. We discussed further how a no call, no show display is absolutely NOT okay and that she must value herself more than the dream of what this man could be.
In my disempowered years, I remember getting excuses like, “I was just too busy today, sorry I couldn’t call you.”
Because I was so afraid of losing his attention, I bought it under the self-deception of “I’m a very understanding person” even though my inner-knowing was telling me:
If he had time to pee today, he had time to call! I was undermining my respect, by allowing him to continually put me last and disrespect me.
I’m now of the mindset that unless he’s lying in a hospital somewhere comatose, he has the time! It takes approximately 30 seconds to send a quick text saying,
“Hey! Not going to be able to make it. Something has come up. I’ll fill you in later.”
In situations like these, our level of self-worth will proportionally dictate how we respond.
If we find ourselves not standing up for ourselves, we have a clear indicator we are accepting the unacceptable and we have work to do on ourselves. If we show we are a doormat from go, he will continually treat us like one.
How an Empowered Woman Processes Lack of Follow Through:
He doesn’t follow through – She does not wait on pins and needles for his call – She goes about her day/evening doing what she’s inspired to do – He calls.
She listens to his excuse/reason – She uses her intuitive sense (lie detector) coupled with her logical brain to decide whether to buy it – If she buys it, he gets ONE last chance – If he blows that, better to end the relationship now than to deepen her feelings and try to end things later –
She does not buy his reason/excuse – She clearly tells him (not hysterically) that she will take a pass on him and find a partner that clearly knows and understands her worth – The End.
Self-worth in check! Next!
Kristen Brown, Certified Empowerment Coach/Mentor – www.sweetempowerment.com
The ebb and flow of relationships can be tricky.
Knowing if a turn in behavior is a fluke or a pattern can be difficult. As a rule, if something happens more than once it is a pattern. Of course, there is a difference in something happening more than once in a three-week vs. three-year relationship. When a partner doesn’t keep their word, it is important to look at context and your own expectations.
In today’s society we try to impose way too much control over other people, which creates anxiety for both parties.
An example, “if you don’t text me back right away it means you don’t care”. We have to give people room to live their own lives and to take care of their responsibilities. However, if someone says “I will call you tonight” and then doesn’t, you may be dealing with a character/respect issue that ultimately could be a relationship deal breaker.
The fine line when someone doesn’t follow through is what is the context, how often does it happen, and how well do they clean it up afterwards.
If the behavior is routine, the usual excuse is “I forgot” and they get defensive about making an apology then it is probably time to let go of the relationship.
If you try to stay in the relationship over time this will be an ongoing issue and create a lot of resentment for both parties.
It also indicates there is a lack of character and consideration on their part. Remember that we do not get to change people; we have to accept them exactly as they are or move on. Is this a behavior you are willing to accept?
If you have examined yourself and believe you are not being too needy and clingy, then simply say, “I didn’t hear from you, you must have been busy” and see what they say.
Listen to them as they tell you about their day and have some compassion and understanding. If you get “oh, I forgot” you may want to re-examine the level of commitment.
Breaking plans usually means that someone is not into you as much as you are into them.
Never accept someone standing you up! If plans are made then they need to be followed through on. If they get canceled with any kind of consistency, this is not a relationship that will bode well over time.
Someone once said. “If a person does not have their word, then they have nothing at all” which is truth.
However, we can’t be so inflexible to not allow life to occasionally happen. Look at the context and decide if there is a pattern or an occasional slip. If it is a pattern it is time to move on.
Cynthia Pickett, LCSW, LADC – www.cynthiapickett.com
Sometimes our partners really do get busy and overwhelmed and we fall to the end of the list.
Sometimes we can blow this off because everyone fails to follow through once in a while. But when it keeps happening…….We start to wonder if the pattern means more.
Yes, it probably does.
Habitual no-show signals a problem with the nitty gritty of attachment.
It suggests an ambivalent or avoidant attachment style. This style is rooted in early childhood experiences of trauma – problems in the very earliest relationships that left your partner with a shaky sense of self and other.
Attachment trauma always shows itself in our adult love relationships and it makes us either too clingy and needy or too distant and unpredictable.
So, how do I talk to him about it?
1. First, know that we all have “issues” in our attachment styles.
No one has a perfect history. If you keep this in mind, you can stay positive even though you need to talk about some pretty deep stuff.
2. Second, own everything that’s yours.
“I feel disappointed when you say you’ll call and then you don’t.”
“I get all excited to see you and then I get let down.”
Avoid blaming or psychoanalyzing. Just put your emotions out there.
3. Know that your partner’s behavior is not about you.
As horrid as it feels, this avoidant pattern has nothing to do with how beautiful or wonderful or loving you are. This happens no matter how amazing the partner, no matter how deep the emotional connection, and no matter how viable the relationship is. Avoidance comes from a person’s early family history – not from their dating partner.
4. Third, wait. Let your partner respond.
Are you able to have a productive conversation? If not, try to calm yourself by remembering all the people in your life who love you consistently and unconditionally.
If this relationship is a committed one, consider couples therapy.
Your partner may have no idea how the inconsistency affects you…….much less where the behavior comes from. A good couples therapist can help you untangle this, trace a path back to the early trauma that set it in place, and grow closer together in the process.
Dr. Deborah Cox – www.deborahlcox.com
If your partner doesn’t call when he says he will, doesn’t keep his commitment when he says he’ll come, or doesn’t follow through with your texting conversation, you are in trouble.
- Don’t you want someone who’s reliable, responsible, accountable and trustworthy?
- Don’t you want to know that when you need him he’ll be there?
- Why tolerate behavior that is frustrating, confusing and aggravating to you?
- Do you really want to live your life this way?
Of course not. If you’ve spoken to him about this before and nothing has changed, you may need a new approach and that includes being more assertive and firmer when it comes to these issues.
1. Start by saying what you want and how you feel.
“When you don’t call me to say you’ll be late, I feel disrespected. I’m making a delicious meal that won’t taste the same if it is cold.”
2. State what you want to happen.
“I would like you to call or text me about the delay. It would just take a second.”
3. Be sure to explain why this is so important to you.
“My time is important, just like yours. Please respect that and honor what I am asking. I feel very strongly about this and it would definitely improve our relationship.”
4. Listen to what he has to say.
This kind of communication about things that are essential in your relationship should not be ignored or sugarcoated. Otherwise, you will get the same as before.
If you feel the relationship is worth fighting for and you feel he is open to this kind of discussion, go for it.
Keep your body language strong, but inviting and not intimidating. If he cares enough, he will make the effort to follow though.
Amy Sherman, M.A., LMHC – www.yourbabyboomersnetwork.com
Actions speak louder than words. It’s an old expression, and it rings true.
It’s nice to hear what we want to hear from our partner, but it has to be backed up with the corresponding behavior. If the words are empty and not followed up with action, resentment, anger, and doubt can quickly build in us, thus straining the relationship.
How do we handle our own emotions when our partner consistently proves unreliable?
We can look at how our partner’s behavior may trigger past hurts, and what meaning we’re attributing to their actions.
For example, if I grew up with an inconsistent parent, I may have internalized the message that I am not important.
Today, when my partner fails to call me when he’d promised, it may trigger (possibly unconscious) feelings of low self-worth. Perhaps his intentions were good, but he simply forgot to call.
Now, I’m on the other side of a silent phone, wrapped up in painful thoughts and feelings that personalize his behavior and may not even have anything to do with him.
We have to remember that we cannot change other people (as nice as that would be!).
That said, we CAN ask for behavioral changes and share the impact that our partner’s choices have on us. We can go to our partner in a wholehearted, vulnerable way, expressing our pain and asking for some soothing.
Using “I statements” is a good tool.
Rather than pointing a blaming finger, hone in on your own feelings. It may sound something like this:
“When you didn’t call me today, I felt sad and disregarded. Perhaps you didn’t intend this outcome, but I wanted you to know how important it is to me that I can rely on you to do what you say you’re going to do.”
Ideally, our partner will validate our pain, and take some responsibility for improving our connection.
If, however, we are met with defensiveness and continued unreliability from our partner, we have to ask ourselves some difficult questions about whether or not this is the kind of person we want to give our heart to.
Marnee Reiley, M.A. – www.youroctherapist.com
What a woman should say to a man who doesn’t follow through is, “Goodbye”.
There is no excuse for not following through on a commitment.
Would you accept that behavior from an employee? Why would you accept it from a partner?
Everyone makes mistakes and anyone can make a commitment that they can’t follow through on once in a while.
But there can always be a phone call or text and an apology in the rare instances when that happens. A pattern of not coming through is just rude. It sends the unmistakable message that his time is worth more than yours.
You are being relegated to a lower position on his list of priorities. That’s a hurtful message to get, but one that must be heeded.
You can’t control his behavior and you shouldn’t have to educate someone about common courtesy. Rude, self-centered people are just not good partner material.
I find that women are surprised when a relationship doesn’t work out although there have been clues from the beginning.
We all want to see the best in people and it’s so disappointing when someone who really seemed like a good prospect isn’t.
However, ignoring bad behavior just means you’ll be more hurt and more disappointed when the relationship has to end. And it will have to end because at some point it will be undeniable that he is a big baby who hasn’t learned how to treat women.
I always tell women to hold out for what they want.
While no one is perfect and we all will need to make some compromises, you just can’t compromise on issues of character.
Character is fundamental to how people behave in the world.
If you want a person whom you can trust, take off those rose-colored glasses and see who you’ve really got. If you are being the best person that you can be, you deserve a partner who is doing the same.
Sally LeBoy, MFT – www.sallyleboymft.com
I think it’s safe to say we’ve all had the experience of asking our man to do something for us and we’ve been disappointed because he didn’t follow it through to the end, or maybe didn’t even start it. Or maybe he made a promise to you that he didn’t keep.
Maybe this happens in your relationship on occasion and maybe it happens more often than not.
When someone doesn’t do what they say they will do, we begin to distrust them and stop asking them for things, and this usually leads to the decline of intimacy in the relationship.
So how do you fix it before it goes that far?
First, you need to decide if you’re having a communication problem, such as not understanding the parameters of the request or offer, or if it’s a fundamental disagreement about what you each need out of the relationship.
We all have communication problems. Maybe we’re not good at asking for what we need because we hope that the other person will simply intuit it, or maybe we think we’re making a request when we’ve made a statement but didn’t ask an actual question, or maybe we ask very vague questions and assume others know what we meant.
I think we all start to think we can read our partner’s minds and that they should be able to read ours after a while of being together.
However, if we don’t actually ask for what we need very directly, there’s no way to know that the other person even knows what we want from them. And often our partners agree to things to make us happy without really knowing what we want.
Watch your communication patterns and be sure you are making requests.
A true request will be specific about what is being asked of the other. And if you need something done by a certain time, you’ll want to make sure that’s part of the request, too. Others don’t know the urgency of your needs if you don’t tell them.
A true request also allows the other person to say no or negotiate terms if they can’t do what we want.
Although difficult to hear, we must allow the other person to disagree or have their own way of doing things if we really want them to follow through.
It’s possible that your communication style is good and the other person truly understands you and just doesn’t follow through.
It may be because they don’t think your requests are as important as other things in their life, so they simply put them last.
It may also be that they agree to things they don’t intend to do in order to make you happy in the moment. It might also be that they fully intend to do it, but then forget or get too busy. None of these are great scenarios.
Have a conversation about what you need from your partner and why, how it makes you feel when he doesn’t keep his word, and how it affects your relationship, and see if anything changes.
If it doesn’t change, it might be a clear message that you aren’t as important as the other things in his life, and it might be time to move on.
Becky Bringewatt, MA, LPC, NCC – www.mantiscounselingandcoaching.com
Be mindful not to let him off the hook because you are afraid of confrontation or making him mad.
Say what you mean and mean what you say from the start. Do not tolerate this behavior from the beginning. When we start dating someone new, we often overlook these things because we are excited and have high expectations of the relationship.
If he does not follow through, hold him accountable.
Yes, emergencies come up and unexpected things happen, but that does not excuse him if he does not follow through repeatedly.
What reason is he giving for not following through?
- If he starts the relationship like this and you tolerate it, this will set the tone for his behavior during the relationship.
- If you are struggling with frustration and anger and you are just starting to date, imagine what it will be like when you have a sick child and he does not come home or follow-through because something came up.
Make sure he understands your expectations in the relationship and what your needs are around accountability.
If he is uncomfortable with these expectations and honest about his inability to be accountable from the beginning, then maybe he is not the one for you.
Do not sugar coat his behavior and assume he will change. If he is inconsistent now, then that is what you can expect later on as the relationship progresses.
Holding someone accountable means that you will call someone out when they are not following through on their commitments.
It also means that you have the expectation of accountability and honesty from the person that you are in a relationship with. Does what he say match what he does?
Actions speak louder than words so evaluate if his words are congruent with his behavior.
Express you needs around this issue and wait for his response.
If he continues to be unreliable, then you have your answer. If he steps up and starts to follow through, you can work with that. Do not ignore the red flags and do your part to follow-through too.

The Buddh International Circuit has been already inspected and received a go signal from Mr. Whiting who was here as the safety delegate. From the infrastructure to the safety measures, all have been approved 2 months prior to the event’s inauguration.
The latest buzz about Formula One says that Mahindra & Mahindra has made an announcement on its association with Buddh International Circuit. As a part of the same Mahindra will provide 25 intervention and support vehicles over the next five years and the car who will take this privilege is our popular Mahindra Scorpio.

The more styled Scorpio Getaway sports a 2.6 Litre CRDI diesel engine churning out 115 BHP @ 3800 RPM and 283 Nm @ 1700-2200 RPM.
Vivek Nayer, Senior Vice President – Marketing, Automotive Division, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd, at the event said, “We are extremely proud to be associated with the world class Buddh International Circuit for the Formula 1TM Indian Grand Prix. The unique characteristics of the Scorpio – tough, rugged, and powerful – make it ideally suited to be the official intervention vehicle for all motor racing events at the BIC which is the global showcase for cutting edge automotive technology and motor sport thrills in India”
Further Mr. Nayer added, “Promoting motorsports through our Mahindra ‘Adventure Initiatives’ is at the very core of our Brand, and this association with BIC is further testimony to this fact. Our endeavour has always been to establish a stronger connect with auto enthusiasts and customers looking for fun and adventure.”
Showing his content Mr. Sameer Gaur, MD and CEO, Jaypee Sports International Limited said, “We’re happy to have tied up with Mahindra & Mahindra for getting intervention vehicles that will be used during all motor sports at the Buddh International Circuit including the Formula 1TM races over the next 5 years.

Christmas crime review week comes to an end with 1961’s Cash on Demand. This British thriller was produced by Hammer Films on the cheap, right when they were branching out in avenues beside horror to breathe new life into the company. The film stars Peter Cushing and prolific Doctor Who alumni Kevin Stoney. It’s a tightly wound little bank heist film set on Dec. 23, when banks are stuffed with cash ripe for folks making holiday withdrawals. Despite dragging in some parts, particularly the middle, overall it’s a charming little caper that cleverly reimagines A Christmas Carol.
Cushing stars as stiff prick bank manager Fordyce, a stand-in for Scrooge. He’s the type of boss that complains about the quality of pens being used in the workplace and would chew out an employee for smiling at him. When he comes in, his employees are afraid to mention the company Christmas party because they’re scared he might cancel it for no good reason. He won’t even donate a measly two pounds towards the shindig. Cushing, of course, plays this proper, patronizing role very well. Instantly I hated his guts.
Fordyce’s one soft spot is his wife and young son. He’s got a framed picture of them on his desk and amidst all of his employee reprimanding, he takes a second to look admiringly at the photo. This familial weakness is how Detective Inspector Mason (Stoney) takes advantage of Fordyce. He rolls into the bank under the guise of a security inspector, claims he’s there to look over the bank’s security and report any potential weaknesses. Fordyce complies, and as he’s making small talk with the inspector, he receives a call from his wife. She’s screaming for help. In the background, Fordyce can also hear his son hysterically crying.
If Fordyce doesn’t comply with Mason, he’s going to have his boys torture the old grouch’s family. From here on out it’s all about the heist. It’s shown in real-time, which wasn’t too unusual for heist films back in the day. What is unique is that that the perspective of the heist is strictly from inside Fordyce’s office and the adjoining safe (a “strong room” they call it here). It’s like a chamber play. When Mason signals to his driver outside, we never actually see the driver. It could be a bluff. When he says how many men he has at Fordyce’s house, it could be a bluff. Mason could be on his own for all we know.
From how Mason plans on getting the cash out to the hand signals to his “insurance” plan during the getaway, the meticulousness of the heist is detailed really well. These intricacies make for some of the film’s most engaging moments. The rest of the movie coasts along at a rather drab pace. After Mason shows his cards, the movie see-saws between fun heist follies and dull moments of chit-chat. A 60-minute edit of the film was shown on TV, and that makes sense to me. Cutting out all the gentlemanly exchanges between Mason and Fordyce would definitely make for a tighter film.
Cash on Demand is a subtle re-working of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, with Fordyce being taught a hard lesson about the holidays not from a series of ghosts, but from a gentleman thief. Mason ingenuously makes Fordyce complicit in the crime, and in the end, the old man doesn’t really put up a struggle. He knows he’s been a greedy piece of shit, so he gets some much deserved comeuppance for Christmas.
It’s not a great film, but as a brief, condensed caper it’s fine. Shaving some of the needless chit-chat would make for a more solid film though. Stoney delivers a wicked performance as the smug, gentleman thief and him and Cushing have some palpable chemistry. Fans of Hammer and Cushing will probably get a kick outta this one.

‘Blue Lily, Lily Blue’ by Maggie Stiefvater is a wonder.
Synopsis: Blue’s mother has gone into Cabeswater on a mission and her safety is not guaranteed. Glendower is closer than ever before but there are many questions Gansey must answer for himself. Ronan must show restraint in vengeance. Adam learns the depth of this connections. Noah is unstable. All of these components on their own pose difficult but combined they also become increasingly urgent.
I’m going to keep this review short because I don’t think I’ve mentally and emotionally processed it yet. This book was more about Blue with Adam coming in for a close second. Blue had more page space because she learns something about herself and how she can use this. Adam’s views not only about himself, but others as well, change throughout this book and it’s wonderful to read. His character progression from book one to now is phenomenal. Same to Ronan actually. And Gansey.
I love the translucent relationships. Blue and Gansey for example: There is obviously something there but they do not allow themselves the luxury; they are there and then they are not. Similar to Adam and Ronan except they have yet to acknowledge it to themselves but the shape of it is there. I also just loved the friendships. These characters know how to be there for each other. Ronan helping to look for Blue. Ronan and Gansey turning up for Adam. Adam coming up with that plan for Greenmantle. As a group, they drop shit for each other. Love it.
A lot happened in this book due to the fast pacing. For some reason, I feel like more happened in this one than the previous two? I’m not sure how accurate that is. Perhaps it’s because the love bug has finally injected me with it’s Raven devotion. I love this series. It’s just so weird. Like, I don’t fully understand the relationship dynamics of the group but at the same time, I do. This book is one huge conflicted emotional bag of goodies. For a series based on psychic and magical elements, it is refreshingly human. I’m not sure how Stiefvater manages that peculiar balance but it is a definite winner for me.
I loved it. I anticipated this to be a longer read due to the schedule that comes with being a mother but I literally flew through it. I’m not sure how I managed it, perhaps I mentally entered Cabeswater and time didn’t matter to me? This book is beautiful and I want more.
“Desire and dread lay right next to each other in his heart, each sharpening the other.”

FAT CAT LIAR BY AHREN SANDERS Release Date: May 21st Genre: Contemporary Romance Add to Goodreads: http://bit.ly/2HnM9C4
The night I met Greer Palmer was no coincidence. The plan was perfect. Everything was in place. All I had to do was get her attention and the rest would take its course. What I didn’t plan was my reaction the first time she spoke.
“Are you okay?”
Three little words… That’s all it took for her to steal my breath and shatter every thing I’d expected. She was supposed to be a spoiled socialite, a pampered princess, an elite heiress— anything other than the striking beauty that blew my misconceptions to pieces.
One kiss and I became obsessed. One night and I became addicted. One month and she became my world. Suddenly, my plan wasn’t so perfect.
To her, I am sunset kisses, whispers of seduction, and promises of forever.
It’s all a lie…
I’m Lawson Hall. My name and reputation speaks for itself as one of the most successful architects in the industry. Conceited, arrogant, egotistical, ruthless— I’ve earned it all. In reality, I’ve bided my time, done my job, and waited my turn. Now is my chance.
Greer thinks we met by accident, but she’s wrong. Once the lies are exposed, will the truth be enough?
AUTHOR BIO Ahren spent her formative years living in an active volcano. There her family made collectible lava art. She studied rock collecting at the Sorbonne in France. There she met the love of her life-her pet pig Sybil. She returned to the states and started writing. She is happily married to a guy who used to live under a bridge and she met while pole-dancing.
Now, meet the real me. I grew up in the south and consider myself a true “Southerner”. Most of the special locations mentioned in my books are reflections of my favorite places. Living on the Florida coast, my family spends a lot time at the beach, which is where I usually can be found with a book in my hand.

The dogs of war have been raging insanely all around for so long. Too long for many. But I survived and I hope I am not the only one.
It's been seven days since we holed up here. Death is all around, but we've been lucky to keep everyone alive - so far...
Fucking snow. It buried half of the city so deep that we can't get there. No point waiting for the snow plows...
We've explored every nook and cranny of our abode and there's nothing useful left to find. We must venture outside.
The radio is useful beyond expectations. We get the news and it's so good to be reminded of normal life and the wide world.
We finally managed to distill some moonshine. In a city under siege food and alcohol are always in high demand.
It's crucial to secure our place against night intruders. Two persons watching out for thieves can also watch out for each other.
This recovery from a grave illness proves that medicines work miracles. Or perhaps some of us have really robust immune systems.
What good fortune, not only we managed to dress these critical wounds, but they are healing nicely. Someone must be praying for us.
With just kind words and deeds, we helped one of us survive the darkest depression that can kill just as dead as a bullet.
We have now enough beds for everybody - that is, everybody but the one that has to go out and search for stuff.
For the first time since we wound up here all of us ate a hot meal. Let's not get accustomed yet.
One of us survived our first brush with violent death. We hope against all odds there will be no more encounters like that.
Our place is starting to resemble a proper home. Let's furnish it so we can live in a relative comfort, it keeps the spirits up.
Every building we visit has a story to tell. I'm wondering sometimes what kind of story we'll leave behind...
The winter's gone. The freeze is over. We made it through... everyone made it! Amazing.
In the beginning, we didn't hope we'll all make it. So many died. And yet we're still here. This surely means something... right?
We've combed through all the neighborhood, it's harder and harder to find anything useful. This war can't end soon enough.
The bandits came in packs like dogs driven mad with hunger. We beat them back every night. And everyone survived. A miracle.
For the first time we all indulged our addictions. It keeps the spirits up, and damn the health issues, we can die tonight anyway.
It’s the children who suffer the most during war. They need all the help they can get. Thank you!
War can’t shut people’s mouths. Sometimes graffiti speaks more than a thousand words.
It’s crucial that kids learn to survive on their own. What if we don’t come back one night?
We made it! Schools will reopen soon. From now on, kids will live a normal life again.
Attacking a place that shelters a kid… Atrocious! We stand together to protect our little one!
Kids… they sometimes seem to be far away from this war. It’s heartwarming.
At least the kid has a new playmate. Maybe it will even be a break from our daily routine here.
Solidarity. That’s the first thing we have to teach to our children.
We wish we could be kids again and have fun with practically nothing.
Nothing is more beautiful to see than a child smile and play again.
Safe at last, I looked back at the burning city and wept. I wished that all who wanted to leave it could do so. Escape from Pogoren.
Faced my demons and learned the truth of that horrible night.
Finally found a way back to the old apartment. Or whatever was left of it.
The hoodie meant the world to Amelia, but war turns everything upside down. This piece of cloth was crucial to this woman’s health. Maybe life.
The stakes were high, but I could not stay idle. I killed those soldiers, but I saved the doctor.
Learn and broadcast all the news
Lie to Malik on two or more occasions
Tell Malik the truth at least twice
Finish the game as Malik's successor
Finish the game apologising to Malik
Let Adem return to the shelter
Make one hundred cigarettes
Livia managed to survive until the end of war and gave birth to her child in time of peace.

Monday, August 9, 1982.BLADE RUNNER. Written by Hampton Fancher and David Peoples. Based on the novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (1968) by Philip K. Dick. Music by Vangelis. Directed by Ridley Scott. Running time: 114 minutes. Restricted entertainment with the B.C. Classifier's warning: some gory violence.
On Friday, August 6, 1982, two science-fiction films opened in Vancouver, each one offering adventures set in a possible future. Reviewing them on the same day, I set the scene by referring to the much-feared possibility of a Third World War. My review of Australian director George Millier's The Road Warrior opened with the words:
"The war is over. Civilization as we know it has been destroyed . . ."
The second film reviewed, Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, began by echoing those words.
THE WAR NEVER HAPPENED. Civilization as we know it has evolved, stretching out beyond the Earth to colonize other planets. Our own world has become infested with overgrown, overpopulated mega-cities.
Helping man to extend his reach still further, corporate enterprise has created the replicant, a genetically-engineered creature that looks and acts like a human being. By 2020, replicant technology has become so good that its products are seen as a danger to real humans, and they have been outlawed on the home planet.
Even so, an occasional replicant will escape his deep space servitude, return to Earth and try to pass as human. Finding and killing them is the job of a specially trained policeman known as a Blade Runner.
Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) is a burnt-out, self-retired blade runner. When one of his former colleagues is killed during an investigation, Deckard is forced back into service to solve the murder.
Director Ridley (Alien) Scott is an atmosphere man. Formerly a successful producer of television commercials, he brings to the table a total environmental sense, telling his story as much through production design as through its script.
Adapted from the a pulp science-fiction novel by Philip K. Dick, Scott's Blade Runner is an intricately conceived near-future film noir, an absorbing, richly textured impression of life in the urban shadows. As in the noir classics of the 1940s, the city is seen as a dark, malevolent force in which an ethical man will be tested by his potentially destructive obsession with a beautiful, mysterious woman.
Deckard is on the trail of four top-of-the-line replicants led by super-android Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer). Tragic in their desire to experience real human feelings, these creatures are ruthless because they know that their life spans have been genetically limited by their corporate creator.
Deckard's job is made more difficult by the addition of a fifth replicant to his hit list. Rachael (Sean Young), executive assistant to the all-powerful Tyrell Corporation's Dr. Eldon Tyrell (Joe Turkel), is a model so advanced that she is unaware that she is not fully human.
Complicating Deckard's mission is the fact that the blade runner owes his life to her. Is it possible that he has fallen in love?
Into this superficially simple detective drama, Scott has built a complex set of moral questions. Visually stunning, his Blade Runner offers us an other-worldly nightmare that can be enjoyed as a one-time special effects show, or as a repeat-viewing look into a possible future.
The above is a restored version of a Province review by Michael Walsh originally published in 1982. For additional information on this archived material, please visit my FAQ.
Afterword: Blade Runner was the first of nine feature films (to date) based on the works of science-fiction writer Philip Kindred Dick. Although he had found fame within the genre — he was guest of honour at the 1972 Vancouver Science Fiction Convention — the fortune that came from major motion-picture adaptations eluded him. Dick died of a stroke four months before Blade Runner's U.S. premiere. His paranoid visions have since inspired such accomplished directorial talents as Paul Verhoeven (Total Recall, 1990), Steven Spielberg (Minority Report, 2002), John Woo (the filmed-in-Vancouver Paycheck, 2003) and Richard Linklater (A Scanner Darkly, 2006). The complete Phil Dick feature filmography includes Quebecois director Christian Duguay's Screamers (1995), as well as Impostor (2001; Gary Fleder), Next (2007; Lee Tamahori), Radio Free Albemuth (2010; John Alan Simon) and The Adjustment Bureau (2011; George Nolfi). The single biggest beneficiary of Blade Runner's success was director Ridley Scott, who claimed at the time that he had never read Dick's novel. Scott later reissued the picture in a Director's Cut (1992), and again in a Final Cut (2007). Currently, Scott is reported to be working on a sequel, and has publicly asked Harrison Ford to reprise his role as Rick Deckard.

[Siren Classic: Erotic Contemporary Romance, light bondage, HEA]
When Rex Latimer joins the Greg Stephens Veterinary Practice, Ramona Anderson is fuming. Not only could Rex become her partner, but he's got the keys to the house attached to the practice—a house Ramona had plans to turn into a home for disadvantaged kids. Well, even though Rex is the hottest man alive, Ramona has news for him—he will not buy into the business and “Operation Accommodation” will be a success.
Fresh from a messy divorce, Rex is looking forward to a new life in Silver Creek, Montana. But what he doesn't bargain on is the green-eyed sex kitten that is Ramona. Their working relationship doesn't start well when he mistakes Ramona for the receptionist. Reggie the snake, however, rectifies that mistake. They soon find that house sharing also has its advantages.
But will the appearance of Rex's ex-wife pour cold water on the fire they've started?
A Siren Erotic Romance
"Dr. Ramona Anderson has plans for her future that include turning the house that is attached to the veterinary practice into a home for disadvantage children. She planned on buying out her partner and making her dreams come true. However, a wrench is tossed into her plans when Rex Latimer has been offered part of the practice and the keys to the attached house—the very one she wanted! Ramona scrambles to come up with a scheme to thwart Dr. Latimer, and she soon enacts “Operation Accommodation”. Dr. Rex Latimer has a divorce under his belt, and he is looking to begin fresh in a new town with a new life. Rex isn’t looking for romance, but he is thrown for a loop by Ramona Anderson when he arrives for his first day of work. Rex mistakenly believes Dr. Anderson is the receptionist and lets her know this as well. Despite the fact that he finds he is very attracted to her, he tries to restrain himself because he had been down that road or romance before and was seriously burned. Ramona isn’t too keen on anything long lasting either given her track record with men. So it would seem that they could just use each other to their hearts’ content! However, Rex soon finds his emotions are engaging, and Ramona isn’t too far behind she just lives in denial. Just when they think its smooth sailing, events and issues from their pasts rear their ugly heads. Animal Instincts was an enjoyable read from the moment that Ramona schemed to implement her plan to dissuade Rex from his. The chemistry and dialogue between Rex and Ramona was intriguing and fun to watch. Animal Instincts seemed to flesh out these two very well as they were introduced in the story. Both Ramona and Rex brought baggage into their new relationship in Animal Instincts, and that was nice as they both struggled to deal with it and trust one another. I liked that Rex showed her from the beginning that he is a good guy, and she can count on him when she has some problems with a patient. I also liked that Ramona saw what she wanted and went for it even though she doesn’t get it right away. Animal Instincts showed that Rex was terribly hurt by his first wife, and I was expecting a lot of drama from that quarter. However, I found that there wasn’t going to be any as that was left dangling in Animal Instincts. I do have to say that I didn’t care too much for some of Rex’s double standards in Animal Instincts, but I went with it and liked the HEA in the end. I also have to say that I never thought of “Smug SOB” as a term of endearment, but it seemed to become one here." -- Vanessa, Joyfully Reviewed
Incredulous, Rex stared at Ramona for what must have been the zillionth time in ten minutes. Were his ears deceiving him? Perhaps they were, but there was absolutely nothing wrong with his eyesight. She was pointing to and explaining in great detail the uses of every instrument on the metal tray between them.
Unsurprisingly, his mind wandered. There was something incredibly sexy about that white coat of hers. Probably due to the fact he’d half seen the gorgeous body beneath. It didn’t require too much effort for him to picture pressing her up against the wall, unbuttoning that coat, and taking her and it to climax heaven.
And that mouth! A mouth that instantly evoked vivid images of dewy, hunger-driven, tongue-tangling kisses.
Swallowing the lust-loaded groan, Rex shook his head and willed himself to concentrate on what Ramona was telling him. Hang on a minute. He knew how to neuter a goddamned cat! He could do it with his eyes closed, though probably not a good idea. “You know, Ramona,” he interjected, his tone brusque and businesslike, “I am qualified. Gained my DVM with honors. I also have degrees in biochemistry, embryology, and animal psychology. Also with honors. Would you like to see the certificates?”
“Tell me again. How did Greg hire you?”
He frowned at her sudden change of subject. “I didn’t tell you.”
“Embarrassed? Or just plain yellow?”
“Y–Yellow?” he spluttered, stunned. Surely Ramona wasn’t still upset about being mistaken for the receptionist? He had apologized. Hadn’t he? “Look, if this is about earlier—”
Ramona cut him off. “Certificates only tell me so much.” She gestured to a nearby razor and stood back. “Why don’t you show me your ‘passed with honors’ skills?”
With a scowl, Rex plucked the razor from the instrument tray and, within twenty minutes, had shaved the fur, cleaned the area, and expertly and neatly neutered Mudge. “Satisfied?”
“You’ll never satisfy me.”
The sneer slipping from his face, Rex felt the blood roaring straight to his cock. Now there was a challenge and a come-on if ever he’d heard one. But what to do about it? While his veterinarian skills could speak for themselves, he wasn’t about to risk his future by allowing his cock to rule his head. And to announce, no matter how subtle, that he could satisfy her would more than likely end with the kick in the crotch and the kick out the door.
He really wanted to buy into the practice. What he’d seen so far had impressed him so much he was willing to pay more than what Stephens had quoted. However, he didn’t need half a brain cell to know Ramona was not keen in having him as partner. It had been an error of judgment on his part to mistake her for the receptionist, and one that Ramona seemed to be taking to the extreme. He could only wonder at the reasons why.
Rex carried Mudge through to the kennels, placed him into a cage, and covered him with a blanket. As he turned to face Ramona, who’d followed him, that luscious mouth of hers curved into a smile bordering on suggestive, he came to a firm decision.
In the one-night stand and fling stakes, Ramona was off-limits. Period. When it came to acts of sexual gratification, he would seek female company from the town and the surrounding area. Rex just hoped they weren’t looking for anything other than a bit of fun and an orgasm because he wasn’t willing to give anything to a relationship that even hinted to a walk down the aisle.
The rapidly diminishing light then made her look upward. Dark and foreboding clouds had bubbled up and were rapidly rolling over the azure sky. “Uh-oh. Speaking of storms…”
The words had hardly left her mouth when a fat raindrop splashed on her nose. There was another splash then another, and then the heavens literally opened. With a squeal, and with Rex close behind her, Ramona dashed toward some nearby trees. Okay, not exactly a smart place to take shelter. However, it was either that or swap pleasantries with “Pain in the ass” Watson at his house, something that neither of them found appealing.
By the time they got to the trees, they were both drenched. “Why couldn’t you have driven here?” Ramona grumbled as she placed the medical bag down.
“Ah, quit complainin’,” he said, wringing the rain from his shirt. “You ought to go storm chasing. Then you’ll know what real rain is…” The words died in his throat when he turned to face her.
“Storm chasing? Don’t tell me you’re one of these morons who gets a boner chasing tornadoes.”
Rex had never gotten stiff in a storm, but he sure was getting stiff now. Incredibly stiff. And it had nothing to do with the cool breeze that had kicked up, either. Ramona’s T-shirt wasn’t just saturated, it was clinging, confirming his earlier suspicion that she was braless.
The thin cotton fabric hugged her plump breasts like a second skin, her nipples pulled impossibly taut. He grew harder still at the thought of warming those puckered peaks in his mouth, to sample both nature and hot woman. Her gaze was transfixed on his groin, and the thought became an urge, an urge he couldn’t resist.
One breathless moment later, Ramona’s back was against a tree, the chilled, rough bark chafing her shoulder blades as she writhed against Rex, his mouth firmly planted around her fabric-covered left nipple and sucking hard.
A rush of primal greed lanced through him. He wanted her real bad and right now. Fumbling with the button and the zipper and finally managing to undo them, he yanked her denim shorts down and off her legs, the sight of her shocking-pink panties knocking the breath out of him. “Take. Your. Panties. Off!” he demanded, choking out each word.
“Yes.” She nodded eagerly, doing exactly as she was told while he unzipped his jeans and sheathed himself in a condom that had appeared almost out of nowhere.
The wind whistling through the branches above them, sporadically bombarded with heavy drops from the canopy of leaves, his nostrils filled with the scent of fresh rain, earth, sex, and their combined heat, Rex ground his cock against Ramona. Then cupping her ass and lifting her, he thrust his hips forward and stabbed into her pussy. She was so, so tight, but felt so, so right, especially when she locked her legs around his waist as he pounded in and out.
Her small squeals of delight robbed him further of air, and he pounded her slickening pussy harder, taking him to the brink.

For the June 2018 block lotto, we’re doing a traditional Ohio Star block that finishes 10.5″ (11″ unfinished).
I have a collection of 5″ charm squares I want to use, and those pre-cuts work well for this size: each block element (just squares and hourglasses) will need to be trimmed to 4″ before assembly to make the correct finished size block.
There are a million tutorials on Ohio Star blocks, but the Missouri Star Quilting Co.’s video on YouTube uses these same measurements, even.
Here is the color scheme for this month – think JUICY!
You may add whites/lights as you wish. You can color the block however you like, such as 2-color, 3-color, full scrappy, color on a light background, light with a color in the background, etc. Prints and solids are all happily accepted as equals.
Contact Trish F if you have questions, and I can’t wait to see your blocks at the June 14, 2018 meeting!

Joshua is a graduate student at the USF. He has interests in business technology, analytics, finance, and lean six sigma.
The Windows Calculator
In this tutorial we look at how to activate the default Windows calculator form an Excel spreadsheet. This trick is for all of you Microsoft users that want to have the advantage of having a short cut for frequent calculator use. That is, if you can stand using the Windows calculator. It only takes a few steps to add a macro to a button to complete the setup. With that in mind, let’s get started.
Activate the Developer Tab
To have access to the tools that allow you to create a button you must enable the developer tab on the Excel ribbon. If you will need to do this if you want to follow along and complete each step. To learn how to add the developer open up this link in another browser tab.
Adding the Developer Tab
Microsoft Excel Developer Tab
Select a Button a to Add to the Spreadsheet
To add a button to the spreadsheet, click on the developer tab in the ribbon. Navigate to the controls section and select the insert button. Choose the button in the upper left-hand corner of the form controls section as shown in the illustration below.
Draw a Box
Immediately after the button is clicked you need to draw an outline of a square of a rectangle with your cursor to complete the creation of the button. This will determine the size and location of the button. To do so, left click on your mouse and hold the button while you drawl your shape. Once this is complete a new window will appear.
Assign the Macro
Assign Macro Code to the Button
After the assign macro window appears, choose a name for your macro and select the new button. Doing so will open the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window. Here you can add the code located below that will activate the windows calculator application. Make sure that you keep the first line of codes where your button name appears and disregard the first line of code below.
After the code is inserted into the Visual Basic application, the Visual Basic window can be closed.
Add the Visual Basic Code
Changing the Label of the Button
To change the label on your button left clicking on the default text in the button and your cursor will appear in the button allowing you to edit. For this example I’d like to change the name of my button button label to Calculator so people know that it will call up a calculator. To change other properties of the button right click on it and choose format control. This will give you all of the design tools available to change the text design of button and make other property changes.
Saving the Excel Workbook as a Macro-Enabled Workbook
In order for assigned macro to function, the workbook must be saved as a macro-Enabled Excel workbook. To do so, click on the file tab and select save as. You can see and example of this selected highlighted in the illustration below. saving make sure you save the workbook with the selection outlined in red in the illustration below.
Save as a Macro-Enabled Workbook
To learn more about using Excel macros for business applications I recommend the following book. I have been using the Excel Bible for years to improve my understanding of all aspects of this Microsoft product.

Jonathan Weiner does an amazing job of creating melancholy figures living in landscapes that include just enough of the surreal to keep you wondering just what it is you’re really witnessing. Great stuff!
Archive for March, 2008
I have always found the use of text in painting to be a tricky thing. My own experiments have most often resulted in abject failure, but every once in a while I come across an artist who succeeds at it, and it makes me want to try again. Alice Tippit manages to walk that fine line, the one that differentiates between humour and gag, between re-interpretation and gimmick, between dialogue and preaching. It’s not an easy line to walk.
This is a post about Scott Waters. Sometimes he paints images of little birds with so much fantastic detail you can almost hear them sing. Sometimes he paints images of military society with so much fantastic detail you can almost hear the grunts of the angry young men trying to find ways to burn off their aggression during down times. Enjoy!
Pinocchio, Apocalypse, Danger, Circus, Disney, Foreboding, Fairy Tales, Huckleberry Finn, Excitement
I’m not sure what that says about me, but it was fun! Of course, you can forget about the free association exercise and just let Dan Kennedy’s work speak for itself if you like.
Thanks to David for the link.
Liz Tran’s paintings make fantastic use of colour, have an incredible amount of energy to them, and appeal to me in a great number of ways. I only wish the images of them on her site were larger.
It’s funny how, in the right context, cute little girls can suddenly seem so very frightening. For example, Adela Leibowitz is busy creating an impressive world of little girls who are not to be trifled with. It’s not easy being cute and menacing at the same time.
Thank you Peter for the link.
Andy’s work (top image) is highly detailed and populated with fantastical creatures that seem to spend much of their time terrorizing each other.
Ben’s work (bottom image) is also highly detailed and is populated with medieval creatures and knights that seem to spend much of their time terrorizing each other.
Any chance we can get a cross-over happening?
It’s a holiday today, so I’m going to take the day off and let an artist speak for herself (which in this case means quoting Kathleen Lolley, a great artist who not only paints, but also draws, sculpts and animates):
“Storytelling still plays a prominent role in her work. Critters try to break the spell of day to day heartbreak. Rabbits flee from hunters, girls are lost in the woods. Giant elk stumble over towns clasping bottles, is it a remedy they hold or just a beer?”
Sounds good to me!
There might be a war coming. You know, one of those “Mankind vs. Nature vs. Giant Fantastical Robots” kind of wars. If Jeff Soto’s work is any indication, it’s going to be a beautiful thing to behold.

30 - 110 Power
30 - 110 Power
Bosch 250w Crank
up to 15 mph
The new Moustache Titanium 279 FS 2014 full suspension eBike is suitable for mountain eBikers looking for that extra bit of help on the climbs. This electric mountain bike is perfect for the everyday Trail / Free Ride / XC ride. Most people are truly amazed at the sheer quality of the Moustache design and finish. You have to see this eBike in the flesh to really appreciate its sleekness and high quality finish.
Moustache have really gone all out on the design of their electric mountain bikes for 2014. With the success of their hard tail model previously they set out to create the ultimate full suspension electric bike. The Moustahce Samedi FS 27/9 Titanium model is the mid-level full suspension eBike in the Moustache range. The suspension is provided in the way of the FOX Float Evolutions CTD front forks. These have the famous Climb, Trail, Descent mode which offers the user maximum flexibility between locked out and open. On the rear shock is Moustaches very own Hydro Pneumatic shock. Both front and rear suspension is air adjustable to the users riding style and weight preference.
Shimano’s SLX / Deore 10speed drivetrain provides the ultra-smooth gearing. Coupled with the Shimano Hydraulic disk brakes; when you need to come to a halt quickly! The Samedi (or Saturday for us Brits) is a lightweight hydro formed alloy chassis for maximum strength but is also incredibly lightweight; the whole electric bike weighs in at just 21.3kg. Finished with decent wheels with Alex alloy double wall rims laced onto Shimano hubs will keep you rolling reliably with no wobbles. To grip these to the surface Moustache have opted for German manufacturer Schwalbes Rocket Ron performance tyres.
The Moustache Samedi FS 27/9 Titanium electric bike is built with the new Performance electric bike motor from Bosch. This is the very latest technology from Bosch eBike systems, so it has the newer slimmer, sleeker battery, latest central mount crank drive motor design and the slick new 2014 Bosch head unit to display all that vital information. You can read more about the Bosch eBike system on my blog.
The Moustache Samedi FS 279 Titanium 2014 eBike is actually the middle of the range option between the Moustache Samedi Gold and Silver eBikes. It’s the same frame geometry but has different components to match the price. The most interesting part of the Samedi eBike full suspension range is the fact that it is built using a 29” front wheel and a 27.5” (650B) rear wheel. This design is unique and only featured on the Moustache electric mountain bikes. It’s a clever concept that grabs the benefits of different wheel sizes and puts them all together on a truly unique eBike design. The 29” front wheel means that it can roll fast on the flat and climb better. It also allows the user to float over terrain easier as the larger wheel can glide over lager gaps.
By using the 27.5” rear wheel it means that the rider has full control; creating an eBike that is easily manoeuvrable. It is so nice to be able to chuck the eBike around beneath you. On a bigger wheel bike this is sometimes not possible due to the larger more cumbersome wheels beneath you. This design actually won the Eurobike 2013 design awards. So it has some good clarification to anyone seeing the wheel size as a gimmick. It truly works! We take our hat off to the French designers for this one!..
This eBike is 'Bosch Tuning Dongle' compatible- So you can now have no speed limits; creating an un-stoppable machine!
The new Moustache Samedi Titanium FS eBikes also feature the latest Bosch Performance crank drive motor, so you can be sure its fitted with the latest kit and set up for optimum performance. This system outputs 60Nm of torque & peaks at 500w! It certainly packs a punch, it will also offer up to 275% assistance on turbo mode, while Eco mode offers a more subtle 50% assistance. There are 4 levels of assistance and remember you can always turn it off completely and ride it as a normal bike!
This machine rolls just the same as a normal cycle. In fact the quality in the design, geometry & build make it a true performer! The Moustache Samedi Titanium FS features the Bosch 400Wh PowerPack Battery so it hosts the most range possible on a Bosch powered electric bike. Read more in depth articles on Bosch on our Blog information pages.
This bike comes fully set-up by our workshop technicians. You can be sure that every aspect of the eBike has been dialed in for optimum performance. On all suspension models, be sure to let us know your weight as we can pre adjust the suspension to the desired rider weight, giving the perfect balance and agility specifically for individuals needs. All our electric bikes arrive with a user manual, keys, charger & free follow up service.
Our electric bikes also include a 5yr warranty on the frame, 2yr warranty on all the electrics & 1yr warranty on the components. In the event of a problem, we handle all warranty claims in-house. We can also offer worldwide support for customers further afield using a Laptop, iPhone or iPad combined with our diagnostic equipment.
E-bikeshop is a UK Bosch Electric Bike Service Center and our in house workshop is now exclusively reserved for our own eBike customers. We also have parts / spares to hand should they be required.

Gulab jamun is a classic Indian sweet made of milk powder or khoya (milk solids), sugar, flavorings like rose water, cardamom powder, saffron. These are deep fried balls dunked in sugar syrup and served warm or chilled.
In this post I am sharing with you not one but two traditional ways to make gulab jamun at home with complete step by step photo guide for easy following.
No festivals or celebrations are complete without this classic sweet. It is an absolute favorite at our home and I hope you will try this out enjoy as much as we do 🙂
Indian cuisine is not only famous for flavorful curries but also rich desserts and sweets. Visit any sweet shop or halwai or even some restaurants you will find array of delicious and tempting sweets like besan ladoo, jalebi, rasgulla, kaju katli and of course these jamuns.
What some of us might not know, it is totally possible to make these Indian sweets at home. Homemade sweets are more clean, economical and fresh 🙂
Today I have this best gulab jamun recipe for you all with two delicious variations so that you may choose whichever method is feasible for you. Both these recipe are tried and tested so many times by myself, my family and my readers. If you are looking for a fool proof recipe of gulab jamun, do give this one a go and I am sure you will be pleased 🙂
So let’s begin with more details about this dish, few pointers that will help you along with step by step photos recipe. Let’s go!
What Is Gulab Jamun
Gulab jamun is a classic Indian sweet prepared widely for festivals and celebrations like Diwali, Holi, Navratri. They are basically soft berry sized balls that are deep fried and then dunked in sugar syrup. Traditionally rose water was used as flavoring in this dessert.
The term gulab means rose and jamun means berries in Hindi. So the literal translation of the name would be fried berries soaked in rose flavored sugar syrup.
This sweet is a crowd favorite and immensely popular in Indian sweet shops or halwai. It is also one of the very commonly made sweets in Indian homes. It is a best dessert to serve after a lavish Indian meal and also perfect for parties, wedding feasts.
At out home we absolutely love this dish and I make it occasionally to treat out sweet cravings. I make this sweet with both khoya or milk powder depending on the availability of the ingredients. Khoya means milk solids which is also known as mawa.
Authentic way of making gulab jamun uses khoya, making it at home is quite laborious and takes time and that’s when people started using milk powder as substitute.
In this post I am sharing both the methods with you. Both are easy and straight forward recipes that you can make perfectly at home. Just follow the recipe after and tips. These gulab jamuns are
Absolutely delicious & melt in mouth
Soft and moist
Very easy to make
better than any sweet shop jamuns
Absolutely kid friendly
Delicious choice for festivals and celebrations
About These Recipes
Making Khoya Gulab Jamun
Traditionally gulab jamun is made with khoya or mawa or evaporated milk solids. Khoya or mawa is a very prominent ingredient used in Indian cooking. It is obtained by simmering whole milk for hours and collecting the milk solids.
Khoya is used in many recipes, mostly in curries and sweets. Along with khoya gulab jamun, peda, burfi, ladoo, mawa cake and few halwa recipes use mawa.
You can make this sweet with khoya if you can make it at home or get it easily from stores. Khoya is available in Indian grocery stores or some sweet shops sell them too. Look for it in frozen foods section or dairy section. You will need unsweetened khoya for this recipe. My secret ingredient for softest jamuns using khoya is cream or malai. Just adding 1/2 tablespoon of it lends wonderfully soft and melt in mouth jamuns, try it!
Try to get soft khoya also known as chikna khoya which is easy to mash and knead.
Making Gulab jamun with milk powder
This is a very widely popular and easy method to make gulab jamun followed in most Indian homes when khoya is not available.
It is a very process compared to former one. All you have to do is mix milk powder and plain flour with few other ingredients and your dough is ready.
Both of these methods are tried and tested multiple times and will yield you best results. If you are a beginner I suggest the milk powder recipe for you. Once you get the hang of it, you can try khoya recipe.
My recipe of gulab jamun is something I have been making for decades and it is such a keeper. If you are looking for a tried and tested recipe of this classic Indian sweet, do give this one a go and I am sure you will be pleased with your homemade gulab jamuns 🙂
How To Make Gulab Jamun With Khoya
1.5 cups khoya or mawa
3 tablespoons plain flour or all purpose flour or maida
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon fine semolina
1/2 tablespoon fresh cream
1-2 tablespoons milk
2 cups sugar
2 cups water
1 teaspoon cardamom powder
Few saffron strands
1 teaspoon rose syrup
Making The Dough
Crumble or grate 1.5 cups khoya well and place in a large mixing bowl. Just crumble it well, no need to keep mashing it now, it will come together as we mix other ingredients and make a soft dough.
Add 3 tablespoons plain flour or maida and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder to it.
Add 1 teaspoon fine semolina, 1/2 tablespoon fresh cream to it.
Mix everything well and add 1-2 tablespoons milk to bring the dough together. If you knead the dough vigorously the gulab jamun will turn hard.
Once you have a smooth dough that looks uniform and moist, cover it and set aside for 20 minutes. While the dough is set aside, we will make the sugar syrup for gulab jamun.
Preparing Sugar Syrup
Add 2 cups water to wide and deep pan. To that add 2 cups sugar. 1 teaspoon cardamom powder and few saffron strands.
Begin to cook this in medium heat. We need a slightly thick syrup with sticky consistency
Cook this mixture to make sugar syrup. There is no need to check for string consistency, just make a thick sugar syrup. Add rose water now and mix. The syrup should not form one strong consistency. Let the sugar syrup cool a bit before we make the jamuns. You can add lemon juice to prevent crystallization.
Let the syrup cool down a bit. It has to be warm when we add the fried jamuns. If you add fried jamuns to very hot sugar syrup, sometimes they will disintegrate.
Shaping & Frying The Dough Balls
Bring back the resting gulab jamun dough and knead it very gently for few seconds. Divide the mixture into 15-16 equal parts and shape them into ball very gently. Do not apply pressure while making balls.
Heat ghee or oil for deep frying. Do not let the oil or ghee smoke, just make sure it is medium hot. Before frying the jamuns do a test by dropping a small piece of dough in the oil. If it raises immediately, oil is very hot, if it sinks and does not rise, oil is not hot enough. The dough ball should rise after a second or 2 and get fried, that is the correct temperature.
Slide the prepared gulab jamun balls and deep fry in low flame till they turn dark brown.
Remove the fried jamuns using a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels or a strainer. Cool slightly for a minute or two.
Soaking In Sugar Syrup

Milk Powder Gulab Jamun Recipe
Make Gulab Jamun Dough
Combine 1 cup milk powder, 1/4 cup all purpose flour, 2 teaspoons ghee, 2 tablespoons curd and big pinch of baking soda in a mixing bowl.
Mix well first. Add milk little by little and form a smooth dough. Do not knead the dough. Set aside for 15 minutes.
Make Sugar Syrup
Combine water and sugar in a thick bottomed pan. Mix slightly and start heating. Add 3 crushed cardamom pods and few saffron strands. I have used raw sugar here so the color of the syrup is dark.
Cook until a sticky syrup is formed. Switch off the flame and remove from heat before it reaches one string consistency.
Add few drops of lemon juice. Mix well and set aside.
Bring out the prepared dough and make 20 small balls out of it. Do not roll them very hard or tight.
Heat oil or ghee for deep frying. The ghee or oil should not be smoking hot. Just hot. Slide the prepared jamun balls gently and deep fry until golden brown.
Deep fry in low flame so that the gulab jamun gets cooked well inside. They should turn dark golden brown in color. Drain the jamuns and rest for 30 seconds in a plate.
Dunk the fried jamuns in warm sugar syrup and rest for 2 hours before serving.
Serve gulab jmauns along with some syrup chilled or at room temperature.
You can serve gulab jamun both warm or cold. These taste delicious both ways.
Serve warm gulab jamun with a scoop of vanilla ice cream as dessert. You can enjoy gulab jamun chilled topped with few almond slivers or chopped pistachios.
Making best gulab jamuns at home is super easy and simple provided we get few pointers right.
Getting the dough right– This is the first and most important tip for making gulab jamun. If your perfect, rest is really easy. You need a soft and smooth dough that is not heavily kneaded. Treat this as your pastry dough and do not over knead. Just add all the ingredients and mix well. Add milk little by little and bring the dough together. Knead just for 2-3 minutes.
If you feel the dough mixture is very soft, you can add more milk powder to bring the dough together.
Shaping the jamun balls– the rule of thumb while working with gulab jamun dough is feather touch handling. Be very soft while kneading or shaping.
Also you should shape the dough into balls without any cracks. If there are cracks, oil will get into it and the balls will disintegrate while frying.
Frying the jamun balls– Always fry in lowest flame until the balls turn dark golden. If you cook in high flame, the outer layer will turn dark very soon but the inside will remain uncooked.
I usually heat the oil for few minutes, once it is hot lower the flame and fry the jamuns.
Making sugar syrup– All you need here is a sticky sugar syrup prepared with equal parts of sugar and water. No need to check for consistency. If the sugar syrup is very thick they will just coat the jamuns and will be absorbed.
Also make sure to prepare the sugar syrup first and let it cool down a bit before adding the jamuns. If the syrup is very hot, the jamuns will break.
Storing the gulab jamuns- Store refrigerated dunked in sugar syrup. Serve jamuns with a some sugar syrup.
Serve gulab jamun warm with a scoop of ice cream or chilled as dessert. Gulab jamun with vanilla ice cream is a classic hit combo! You can garnish with fresh rose petals.

Severe Constipation Led To Large Rock Like Stools

Warning: Not all essential oil brands are the same quality. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that the oil you are using is made from pesticide-free plants grown in optimal conditions. Also, the brand should be a 100% pure, high-quality essential oil that does not contain any synthetic additives.
My 10 year old daughter has had encopresis since she was 2 years old. Encopresis is a severe form of constipation in which the stool becomes large rocks in the bowels and very hard to pass. Its common for my daughter to have roughly 1 bowel movement every 10 days. We have tried countless things to keep her regular, but inevitably she goes back to being bound up inside.
After reading about peppermint oil I decided to give it a try. I rubbed it on her belly one afternoon and within a few hours she had a bowel movement. Wanting to make sure it wasn't just a fluke I continued to apply it to her once or twice a day. In one weeks time she had 3 bowel movements!!! In three weeks time her bowel's were completely clear of the rocks and she was able to have regular bowel movements!
After doing more research, my mother in law found that peppermint oil used over an extended amount of time can cause constipation, but spearmint oil does the same thing w/o the constipation. I've ordered a bottle of spearmint oil for my daughter to keep and use every night. I'm still amazed that a small bottle of oil can bring relief after 8 years of dealing with this issue!
