A little about me...
Hi there! - I am an "uncomplicated" girl from Texas who worked many years and now enjoying retirement. I have lived alone for a few years but have decided it's time to go out in the world in search of a wonderful man to share interests with and fill our days with new, rewarding, fun and memorable events. I truly enjoy a gentlemans company but like a little quite time also, like dining out, stage shows, day trips to explore, longer trips for relaxation, reading, hiking in cooler weather, grooming my yard (only in early mornings), visiting with friends and family, and being close to/holding the hand of the one I love. Whew, that was a mouthful! And there is more but I'm running out of space. Did you notice I didn't mention cooking??? I'm not so good in the kitchen but I'm great with other domestic things. I am a kind-hearted, giving lady with some spirit. Paying forward is most rewarding to me. I love to smile, laugh, and always have a positive attitude.
About the one I'm looking for...
The man of my dreams (I hope he is out there) will like to share my interests as I will his. I admire a clean cut man, tall and handsome (in my eyes), fairly organized with good values and traditions. A great sense of humor, intelligent, spontaneous, and giving is a big plus. If you can cook (with my help of course), you are the man!! I can't forget warm and cuddly too. I'd like a guy who is looking towards settling in for the long haul if we are a match.
I'd just like to add...
I believe the ingredients of a great relationship are pretty simple: always have each others back, be able to admit mistakes and say you're sorry, love deeply and show it each day, be creative to keep the sparks flying, and share happy moments.

FORT MYERS, Fla. - "It's like I have to wake up again or something to realize it really is, I'll be here and it'll be mine," said Bob Garcia.
You can see the happiness in Bob Garcia's eyes.
"It's overwhelming, its definitely one of the biggest relief's this is unbelievable," said Garcia.
A relief after living inside this unsafe and cramped home for decades. The home once built for a family of five, grew into a family of 13.
"And now the kids actually have their own beds, their own rooms, their own bathroom, we have our bathroom, thank god, it's just I can't believe it," said Garcia.
Beds for each member of the Garcia family. Food in the cupboards and a seat at the table. All thanks to the hard work of Builder's Care, Stock Development, and hundreds of volunteers.
"Just phenomenal that 17 days ago, we took the back hoe and crushed the house down,: said Bob Imig, President of Stock Development.
"Well it's gone but hey, I don't miss it, I'm glad its gone," said Garcia.

Chicago to host premier triathlon in 2014-15
By Stefano Esposito Staff Reporter email@example.com June 7, 2013 2:06PM
Chicago resident Melissa Stockwell, 2013 USA Paratriathlon National champion, lost her left leg to a roadside bomb in Iraq while serving in active combat for the U.S. Army in 2004. | Stefano Esposito~Sun -Times
Updated: July 9, 2013 6:11AM
Like countless Chicagoans, Melissa Stockwell was "heartbroken" when Rio de Janeiro got the nod over her city in 2009 for the 2016 Olympics.
It might have been even more disappointing had Stockwell known that her sport, the paratriathlon, would make its Olympics debut in Rio. That announcement didn't come until 2010.
But on Friday, a giddy Stockwell was delighted to be part of the team to announce the world's premier triathlon and paratriathlon — besides the Olympics — is coming to Chicago in 2014 and 2015.
"As an athlete and a Chicago resident, I couldn't be more thrilled to host these races," Stockwell, 32, told reporters at Harry Caray's restaurant downtown, where the announcement was made.
Stockwell, who lost most of her left leg to a roadside bomb while serving in the United States Army in Iraq in 2004, won her third consecutive TRI-2 world title last year in Auckland, New Zealand.
Chicago becomes only the third United States city to a host a World Triathlon Series race.
About 150 of the world's fastest triathletes are expected to compete in the events, which include a 1,500-meter swim, a 40-kilometer bike ride and a 10-kilometer run, officials said.
The race course is expected to pass Navy Pier, Soldier Field, Millennium Park and Buckingham Fountain at the finish line.
The 2015 Grand Final is expected to draw about 5,000 amateur athletes, officials said.
"Chicago has the potential to tremendously increase the visibility of the sport, the event and certainly most deservedly, the athletes themselves," said Chicago Deputy Mayor Steve Koch, who said the event is expected to generate about $9 million in economic benefits in its first year, and even more in 2015.
San Diego and Washington, D.C., have also hosted World Triathlon Series races.

Why The Owner chose Big Bear City
We chose Big Bear Lake because we wanted to get away from the desert heat during the summer but we realized that we come up here just as much during the winter for the snow and skiing. We properly named our cabin "Time Out". "Time Out" from the heat, work, and all the stress from the Coachella Valley!

Thank you for being the Women's Employment Network's (WEN) partner in bringing change to the lives of unemployed and underemployed women living in the Kansas City metropolitan area. The women who come to WEN are ready to make a change and determined to live a better life. Thanks to the support of the community and WEN's staff, women are able to find greater economic stability and reach their goals.Tracy is an example of one such client whose focus and determination became her ticket out of poverty. Having a clear goal in mind has proven time and again to increase one's chances of achieving that goal. When Tracy first came to WEN, she knew what her goal was. However, at that time, she was unemployed and her four children were living with family members with only food stamps to contribute to the household. As anyone could imagine, the home was crowded and Tracy was eager tomoveto a place of her own. She first needed steady employment and a living-wage, so she turned to WEN for guidance.While attending the Women's Employment Network's five-week Employment Preparation and Career Transition Training Program, Tracy illustrated her determination to change her life every step of the way. First, she decided that to address her financial struggles head-on, meet with WEN's Financial Coach, complet a financial assessment and reviewher credit report. After gaining a full picture of her personal debts and household expenses, Tracy was able to establish a budget and work on building her credit,which included disputing incorrect information on the report and then paying off debts once she became employed.Soon after graduation Tracy was offered a temporary position. She was back to work! Once she had received a full paycheck, she came back into WEN to create a new monthly budget. This budget was built to support her goal of saving enough money to be able to move her family to their own home. Over the next few months, she worked to pay off some of the bills that had fallen behind so that she could focus on her future and save. The Financial Coach continued to work with her on her credit action plan by helping her to understand the report and the steps she would need to take to increase her score.It didn't take long before, Tracy had great news to share with WEN. She was offered a permanent position at the company she had been working at and the promotionto full-time also incliuded and a higher salary. This stability gave her the confidence and the income that she needed to pursue her goal and move her and her children into a new rental townhome.In just over a year, Tracy has accomplished amazing things. Not only has she achieved the goals she declared when she bgan WEN's Employment Preparation and Career Transition Training Program; but along the way she has accomplished financial feats that will support her stability in the future.WEN truly appreciates your support of this program, and of the women like Tracy we serve everyday. Thank you!
The Women's Employment Network serves a diverse group of women. As the women arrive for the first day of the Employment Preparation and Career Transition Training Program, they often compare their backgrounds with other women in the class. Often preoccupied by their differences, they point out what they perceive to be their own personal challenges. Some think that they are too young to find a good job and others wonder if employers will really consider them for jobs as the approach retirement age. They wonder if their lack of a degree, legal difficulties or even their appearance is holding them back from finding work. But by the end of five weeks, these women are no longer so concerned with their differences, but view each other as friends in the job-search journey. These are the women WEN serves:Single Mothers"I began my professional life as a teen mother. Although I was determined that my being a teen mother would not get in the way of building a stable professional life for myself, I did not realize how many obstacles would arise. I found myself the single mother of two children with special needs. Even though I have continued to always fight to get myself on the right career path for my family, I've never found the right path that works for our needs. I tried going to college, hoping that would get me on the right track, and did quite well until times got tough in my family life and I needed to quit. I have fought against the grain for fifteen years and basically gave up hope. WEN has shown me that I don't have to fight against the grain and I don't have to give up hope." - MarisolCollege Graduates"After graduating in December from the University of Central Missouri I had thought I secured employment but to my surprise I had not. Months of job searching and no results forced me to realize something might be wrong in how I present myself or how my resume was formatted. I came to WEN in hopes to correct whatever issues I had in hopes to gain successful employment in my field. " - BritneyWomen Reentering the Jobforce"After four years of being a caregiver to family members, getting back into the workforce seemed a little scary. Things have changed a lot in that short amount of time. I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do or how I wanted to go about it. I knew I needed some help and a lot of support. I heard about Women's Employment Network, read their website on the internet, and decided that it sounded like just what I needed. It's one of the best decisions I've ever made." - ErinAlthough they all came to WEN with different needs and backgrounds, they have all since found employment.
Women come to WEN at all points in their career: some are returning to the workforce after years of raising children, others are laid off from long-term careers, and others are just starting out in the workforce. We thank you for helping us help these women, and hope you'll enjoy hearing about the success of a recent WEN program graduate, Jenny. In May of 2013, Jenny Barry was a proud graduate of the University of Central Missouri, having earned a BS in Safety Management and a BA in Chemistry, she was ready for her role in the workforce. She was hoping to accomplish that before her first student loan payments were due.
After several months of applying for jobs in her field and not having much success, she heard about Women's Employment Network and attended the September training session. At WEN she learned the importance of having a focused and strategic job search, how to look for career ladder opportunities and how to research the industries that needed her knowledge. She also honed her interviewing skills. Most importantly she accepted that education alone isn't always enough, sometimes you have to get your foot in the door and prove yourself.
After completing the training she took a survival job to help stabilize her financial situation and continued a strategic WEN job search. As a result, in December she found her "dream job" as a lab technician at Catalent Pharma Solutions.
At the Women's Employment Network we are grateful for all the support we receive from people who believe in our mission of helping women raise their self-esteem and achieve economic independence through sustained employment.
The greatest impact always comes when people work together to achieve a common goal.
The Women's Employment Network has always valued collaboration whether with local companies and employers or with other Kansas City agencies serving those in need. Partnerships help us learn from each other and eliminate redundancy. WEN is excited to announce two new partnerships that will allow us to help even more Kansas City women.WEN Joins with LISC to become Kansas City's second Financial Opportunity CenterThis month the Greater Kansas City Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), the nation's largest community development organization, announced that they selected the Women's Employment Network as their second Kansas City Financial Opportunity Center.WEN added Financial Coaching to our services in March 2013, and this new partnership gives us access to the methodology and resources developed by LISC as part of their Financial Opportunity Model. This model has a proven history of success and helps to ensure that WEN's Financial Coaching program will be effective. The LISC model provides services across three areas: employment placement and career improvement; financial education and coaching; and public benefits access. These core services are integrated and provided to clients in a bundled fashion in an effort to reinforce one another and to provide a comprehensive approach to income and wealth building.LISC's service model complements WEN's employment training program and services, and this partnership will make it possible for WEN to help women find economic stability.100 Jobs for 100 Moms InitiativeWomen's Employment recently became involved with two local agencies, Operation Breakthrough and Amethyst Place, on an initiative that aims to find jobs for Kansas City mothers. Given that stable employment and income are essential to the wellbeing of families, the 100 Jobs for 100 Moms initiative aims to match a mother trapped in generational poverty with a business willing to provide a job and on-the-job mentoring.While these agencies serve many women in need of work, employment preparation and job search assistance are new ventures for Operation Breakthrough and Amethyst Place. By working with WEN they gain perspective on how guide women through the employment process. In addition, this initiative will work closely with area business partners who help provide a specialized work experience for moms who face a myriad of obstacles when pursuing traditional employment avenues. Lasting employment that leads to economic stability will allow local families to live much better lives, and WEN is proud work collaboratively to make this a reality.
Without a job, it's hard to make ends meet. Not surprisingly, after sustained unemployment, many of the women who come to Women's Employment Network for help finding work also need help managing their finances and overcoming debt. Below is the story of one woman who WEN helped grow both professionally and financially. Eva's story is a classic example of the learning process women go through at WEN with regard to their finances. When Eva first came to WEN she had stopped even opening bills. She had a $119 assistance check that was supposed to cover her utilities, but had hundreds of dollars of bills to pay. As part of WEN's Employment Preparation and Career Transition Training Program, clients participate in a budget drafting exercise that asks them to assess their monthly income and expenses, an experience that Eva remembers as being difficult: "It was painful talking about money. It was the hard truth that I didn't want to accept. I was crying and so was the woman next to me. We were holding each other."During WEN's five-week training program she learned about budgeting, saving, and responsible use of credit. Since getting a job and learning to budget, she has been able to buy things that she couldn't afford before, including a lot of things for her children. These things include: beds for the children, cooking supplies, and school pictures. She admits, "it sounds like little stuff, but when you don't have it you really notice. It's big." Her experience is not atypical of the women who come to Women's Employment Network for assistance. Seventy-five percent of WEN clients report income below the federal poverty line, with the other 25% not disclosing their income at intake. Of those who, starting in March 2013, have opted to work with WEN's Financial Coach, the average credit score is 539 and the average amount of debt in collection is $12,000. Without sufficient savings and with such poor credit, WEN clients are especially vulnerable to predatory lending such as payday loans, which feed into the cycle of poverty.The Financial Coaching and Credit Building program was added to Women's Employment Network's program model in early 2013 to help WEN clients, graduates, women small business owners, and others in the community in build their credit and achieve their financial goals, so that their career gains are translated into increased wealth. WEN's Financial Coach is responsible for the management of the program, which involves ongoing one-on-one financial coaching, community outreach workshops, assistance with credit disputes and settlements, and rebuilding credit with a secured credit card.The Financial Coaching and Credit Building Program is a thrilling addition to WEN's services and will undoubtedly help WEN's clients regain control of their financial futures.

In accordance with the Navajos' legend, a thirteen year-old boy will finish with the curse of the powerful Skinwalkers, a.k.a. werewolves. The half-breed boy Timothy is raised by his human mother Rachel and protected by his Skinwalkers relatives since he was born. His grandmother Nana, his uncle Jonas, his cousin Katherine, her boyfriend Adam and their friend Doak have kept the secret about his bloodline and neither Timothy nor Rachel know the tragic curse. A couple of days before Timothy's thirteenth birthday, a pack of evil Skinwalkers that had tasted blood leaded by the evil Varek chases the boy while his family protects him. www.imdb.com/title/tt0461703/
Maybe you dont get a lot of comments because your iPod videos are large as hell.
Sometimes you put up a very good selection of stuff, but i dont know how they do it there is a way to shrink the file size and still retain the quality. dont mean to be rude, but some people carry just an 8 GB size device.
I can make them smaller in size, but I only normally use them for my apple TV 1st Gen so size really doesn't matter for that. I will try to get them down to about 330mb mark and see what they come out like. Thanks for the comment

Sabrina Bryan Joins Dancing With the Stars: All-Stars as Viewer's Choice Winnerby Free Britney at . Comments
Sabrina Bryan will go Dancing With the Stars All-Stars.
Fans had been voting, Tweeting and showing their support for either Sabrina, Kyle Massey or Carson Kressley as they vied for the final roster spot.
In the end, Bryan won the poll - and will now have a second chance to hoist the Mirror Ball trophy many felt she was robbed of back in Season 5.
She will be partnered with Louis van Amstel.
"Carson and Kyle are both amazing," Sabrina told Robin Roberts this morning. "I'm the lucky one with some amazing incredible fans who've stuck behind me."
"For me, it's incredible to have a second chance for my fans. They were so supportive from the beginning, to stick behind me and rally the troops."
"This is all about them and I am so lucky [to have Louis as a professional partner] his choreography is incredible. I feel like the stars are aligning."
Bryan joins Gilles Marini, Pamela Anderson, Kelly Monaco, Shawn Johnson, Melissa Rycroft, Joey Fatone, Helio Castroneves, Drew Lachey, Bristol Palin, Apolo Anton Ono, Kirstie Alley and Emmit Smith on the 15th season of DWTS, premiering September 24.

I want for the new season of DWTS. It is always interesting. I feel that the judges judge based on the competitors dancing. Unlike American Idol, they pick winners because the person is hot not on there singing voice.
GO DREW LACHEY. Loved you then and love you now!!!
i'm THRILLED to see Louis coming back.....i've missed him.....NOW, i'm really looking forward to this season. alisa
That's great, I was hoping she would be the one chosen. I'm looking forward to the new season :)

DR Distortion
Are subsidies the best way to achieve smart grid goals?
than by subsidizing DR on a volumetric, full LMP basis. Emissions reductions are best achieved through programs and incentives to promote energy efficiency and clean generation. Energy price suppression might be achieved through DR subsidies, but it should be understood that the resulting customer energy savings come at the expense of supplier profits and only be can temporary ( i.e., although capacity savings are likely to be permanent). Market efficiency and competitiveness are best achieved without distortionary subsidies; a preferable approach would be funding AMI directly and introducing dynamic retail rates to make the market more efficient and competitive by enabling more customers to be price-responsive. Finally, full LMP subsidies alone are unlikely to stimulate the development of the smart grid and shouldn't be confused with the smart grid or the far-reaching effects it might achieve.
In short, whether full LMP constitutes a subsidy isn't a serious economic question. How best to enable customers to respond to spot prices and how to promote the broader policy goals that DR supports are serious questions. Full LMP subsidies don't appear to be the best answer.
1. For the purposes of this article, DR refers to load reductions that are treated as supply resources and subject to payments by the RTOs, not dynamic retail pricing.
2. Comments of Samuel Newell, Kathleen Spees, and Philip Hanser, Docket RM10-17-000 (filed May 13, 2010 in response to FERC's NOPR on DR compensation). See also Hung-po Chao, "An Economic Framework of Demand Response in Restructured Electricity Markets," Feb. 8, 2009, Retrieved from: http://www.hks.harvard.edu/hepg/Papers.
3. See Supplemental comments of Samuel Newell, Kathleen Spees, and Philip Hanser, Docket RM10-17-000, filed October 5, 2010 in response to FERC's Supplemental NOPR on DR compensation.
4. In some ISO programs, DR capacity providers also receive payments for the energy value of load reductions they actually provide during emergency events, although these payments tend to be much smaller than the capacity payments.
5. The higher numbers sometimes reported by ISO-NE include passive DR, which refers primarily to energy efficiency.
6. Frank A. Felder and Samuel A. Newell, "Quantifying Demand Response Benefits in PJM," report prepared for PJM and the Mid-Atlantic Distributed Resources Initiative, Jan. 29, 2007.
7. Hung-po Chao, "An Economic Framework of Demand Response in Restructured Electricity Markets," Feb. 8, 2009, Retrieved from http://www.hks.harvard.edu/hepg/Papers.
8. Supplemental NOPR and Notice of Technical Conference, Re: Appropriate Compensation for Demand Resources (RM10-17-000).
9. Ibid.
10. FERC staff found that expanded participation in the current mix of DR programs could lead to a 9-percent reduction in peak demand by 2019, relative to a baseline forecast with no demand response. With full participation in mostly price-based demand response programs, this impact could be as much as 20 percent. (FERC Staff, "A National Assessment of Demand Response Potential," prepared by The Brattle Group, Freeman, Sullivan & Co., and Global Energy Partners, June 2009.)
11. Adding DR that provides capacity and energy should make prices more volatile in the long run, since it's like adding a super-peaker to the exclusion of other, lower variable cost

November 20, 2014
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- John Stocco threw two first-half touchdown passes and Wisconsin held on through a tense second half to beat Arkansas 17-14 in the Capital One Bowl today.
The number six Badgers (12-1) led 17-7 at halftime, but most of the second half was played in Wisconsin territory.
Felix Jones brought the Number 12 Razorbacks within three points with a 12-yard scoring run in the fourth quarter -- but Arkansas (10-4) could not overcome an undisciplined, mistake-filled performance.
Wisconsin won 12 games in a season for the first time and finished with a nine-game winning streak. Arkansas lost three straight after winning ten in a row.

In 2001, Berry married R&B singer Eric Benet and later adopted his daughter, India, now 12. Though she supported Benet (in 2003) through a so-called sex addiction, for which he sought treatment, Berry eventually sought a divorce in April 2004. Benet recently denied he was a sex addict on Primetime Live and said he'd withdrawn a spousal support request. As for Berry, "I will never marry again," she told Oprah Winfrey in May.

- Efeste Final Final Columbia Valley 2010 Product #28138 (In Stock)
Efeste keeps turning out fascinating, delicious, and wonderfully food-friendly wines from their vineyards in Washington's Columbia Valley. Final Final is one of the few blended wines they make, a marriage of Cabernet Sauvignon (59%) and Syrah (41%), all aged in French and American oak. Cab provides the backbone of the wine, delivering structure, power, and black currant fruit while the Syrah adds juicy black fruits and a touch of spice. Fantastic steak and grilled meat wine!
"Another superb effort and a rocking value, the 2010 Final-Final is a blend of 59% Cabernet Sauvignon and 41% Syrah, from a variety of vineyards throughout the state, that was aged in one-third new French oak prior to being bottled unfined and unfiltered. Loaded with notions of mulled spices, tobacco, smoked herbs and black currants, it is a full-bodied, super rich wine that possesses remarkable purity and precision for a wine of its size. Drink it over the coming 4-5 years. Drink now-2018.:Wine Advocate 91 points
"Broad and generous, with focus to the black currant, blackberry, licorice and herb flavors, persisting against crunchy tannins as the finish expands. Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Best from 2016 through 2020. 3,711 cases made"Wine Spectator 91 points
- Efeste Ceidleigh Syrah 2010 Product #26784 (In Stock)
Very limited.
"Deep bright ruby. Slightly porty aromas of blackberry, boysenberry, licorice and chocolate, lifted by a violet nuance. Seriously concentrated and chewy, with the high-toned porty character carrying through in the mouth. Large-scaled, solid and sweet, showing a lot of baby fat today. Finishes with huge but ripe tannins. Just this side of over the top."International Wine Cellar 90 points

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Western Trails. My daughter attended the school for 6 years, and had a great experience. She was challenged, which is a good thing - and very caring teachers. She always felt safe, and the educators know how to balance fun activities to keep the kids engaged with serious learning. I never had any problems with any staff members.
I've had one good experience with one teacher only. My second grader currently is having trouble with math. Instead of these people helping me they give me more stress to deal with. The teacher told my son he was going to flunk if he kept getting pulled out early from class. And told him to tell me and not to get mad. I believe that is very unprofessional, and the principal said she would ask her to call me and let me know what happened. But the teacher never even bothered to contact me at all. The secretaries are rude I called once to see if they can release my son to a friend that her daughter went to school there with him as well. She asked do you know her last name I said I don't know her last name. She asked do you know this person I said yes but bot the daughter I haven't gotten the chance to meet her personally. She responded "well I don't know I don't know is that her last name then ?" Very rude and unprofessional I believe. I'm taking my son out this school for this and many more reasons. Maybe they are like this to only Hispanic parents.
this is a really really good school with excellent teachers...the principal is very friendly and nice
They have the best teacher and the lady's in the office are great
My child is just starting the 2nd year at western Trails, The staff at the school is both helpful and supportive, His teacher last year went above and beyond my expectations. However I'm less than impressed with the district and how they handel IEP's While the school and the staff there were helpful and supportive towards my son's unique needs. My husband and I felt more attacked then supported by the district. With unrealistic time frames for improvement. Continual miscommunication as to what the district felt would be helpful, along with a general dismissal as to what his teacher seem to say was working for my child. We we're also left feeling as if the district felt we we're unaware of our childs issues. The parents at the school are very involved and for new students the staff makes children feel special and accepted.
I love this school. They have great communication with parents. The school has many activities through out the school year.
Our 7 year experience with Western Trails has been excellent. Both kids are thriving and well prepared for Jay Stream Middle School. Most of the teachers have shown a personal interest in our kids. The secretaries are marvelous to communicate with. The administration is actively involved with all the extra curricular events. I love the diverse population of students. My kids have literally no conceptions of stigmas or stereotypes based on appearance or race which I am certain is a benefit of this student population. This is a five star school.
This was the first year my son was in school. I loved his teacher and the wonderful structure he had in her classroom.
I am very happy with the way my children are being taught. It is a real friendly atmosphere and my children enjoy attending school.

Press release from Marketwire
TomaGold Announces the Results of a Preliminary Metallurgical Scoping Study on the Zone 325 at the Monster Lake Project
Wednesday, November 21, 2012
TomaGold Announces the Results of a Preliminary Metallurgical Scoping Study on the Zone 325 at the Monster Lake Project07:00 EST Wednesday, November 21, 2012MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - Nov. 21, 2012) - TomaGold Corporation (TSX VENTURE:LOT) ("TomaGold" or the "Company") is pleased to report on the results of a metallurgical scoping study on a composite sample collected from drill core from Zone 325 at the Monster Lake project, located southwest of the Chapais-Chibougamau mining districts. TomaGold retained the services of METCHIB Metallurgical Services of Chibougamau to perform a metallurgical study on a gold composite sample collected from the Monster Lake "325 Gold Zone". The main objective of the scoping program was to characterize the Monster Lake mineralization in order to process a bulk sample.The program included mineralogical characterization, ball mill work index evaluation, gravity separation, static acid-generation testing, gold cyanidation kinetics at different percent solids, particle sizes, cyanide concentrations, lead nitrate concentrations and the kinetics of gold absorption on activated carbon (CIP and CIL).The average gold head grade obtained after all tests was 4.8 g/t Au. The sample provided contained quartz as the major mineral, followed by plagioclase and iron sulphides. Analysis showed a possible association of gold with iron sulphides.Cyanidation of whole rock yielded a good response, with gold recovery of up to 96.3%.Two Acid Base Accounting tests (Sobek method) were conducted to determine the acid mine drainage potential. Both tests showed acid mine drainage potential for the tailings, mainly due to the high iron sulphide content (9%), and additional static tests on other composite samples were recommended.David Grondin, President and CEO of TomaGold, stated: "These preliminary metallurgical results are very positive, as the composite sample was taken close to surface. Given the nugget effect found in the samples, they also confirm the need for TomaGold to do a bulk sample at Monster Lake to get a better idea of its mining potential." ABOUT THE MONSTER LAKE PROJECTThe Monster Lake property is located in northwestern Quebec, 44 kilometres southwest of the town of Chibougamau. It is easily accessible by road and near a major power line. Over 25,000 metres of diamond drilling has been done since 1984 along the four-kilometre mineralized corridor. During the winter of 2012, TomaGold drilled 16 additional holes for a total of 2,420 metres, and made a major discovery of 237.6 grams per tonne gold over 5.7 metres in Hole M-12-60. The mineralization is associated with dark quartz-sulphide veins within a shear zone 3-10 metres wide in basaltic units.ABOUT TOMAGOLD CORPORATIONTomaGold Corporation is a Canadian-based mining exploration company whose primary mission is the acquisition, exploration and development of gold projects in Canada and abroad.The technical content of this press release has been reviewed and approved by Maurice Giroux, a qualified person as defined by NI 43-101.For a complete list of drill results from the Monster Lake project, please visit our website, at www.tomagoldcorp.comFOR FURTHER INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT: Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its regulation services provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this news release.

Wedding weight challenges
Updated On: Mar 27 2014 11:00:00 PM EDT
A majority of women say they'd like to lose weight before their wedding day. But a recent Australian study found most brides-to-be don't reach their goal and actually end up gaining weight within 6 months of saying "I do."
"So, when you put a lot of pressure, or you put a time-frame on a particular- that type of change, then the amount of pressure will actually send you in the opposite direction. Probably eating to relieve the pressure as opposed to eating in a healthier way," explained Cleveland Clinic weight loss expert Dr. Karen Cooper.
Researchers at Flinders University recruited more than 340 women from two bridal expos, which were held about a year before each of the participants' weddings. The women had their weight recorded three times: at the expo, one month before their wedding, and six months after the big day.
Results show that despite wanting to lose as much as 20-30 pounds, average weight did not change in the months leading up to the wedding.
in fact, six months after the wedding the women had gained an average of 4 pounds.
Researchers say the pressure of an impending wedding may make it more difficult to manage a weight-loss plan. Cooper says if you're thinking about losing weight prior to a wedding or other big event, she says what you really need is time.
"You need time to have your diet assessed properly, to exercise a little bit more, because our lives are so busy and so filled that you really have to take the time out to put those lifestyle changes in," said Cooper.

U.S.-Korea Fighter Coproduction Program

- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
GAO discussed the Korean Fighter Program (KFP), specifically Korea's aerospace industrial goals and plans. GAO found that: (1) Korea's coproduction program was intended to meet Korea's military modernization requirements and play an important role in Korea's aerospace industrial development goals; (2) the Department of Defense (DOD) inhibited Korea's negotiating position and took steps to make certain technologies unavailable for licensed production; (3) the Korean aircraft industry had limited experience compared to the level of manufacture and production management comtemplated under KFP; and (4) the production arrangement negotiated between Korean and U.S. contractors was intended to maximize technology transfer and the industry's control over KFP. GAO also found that: (1) Korea has attempted to maximize the quantity of aircraft it can produce under license and minimize the quantity of aircraft it purchases directly from the United States; (2) DOD provided the Korean government with a list of items that Korea could not produce, but had to purchase through foreign military sales; and (3) the Korean government imposed special offset guidelines for fighter aircraft competition, but it could not determine the technology transfer and economic effects of the offsets.

A little about me...
Wow, this is harder than I thought. I don't really have a talent for talking about myself. I .... love my kids and grandkids. I am very happy in my career. I am quite happy with my life other than sharing it with someone who I would enjoy spending time with, giggling, playing and acting NOT my age!!
About the one I'm looking for...
I am looking to spend time with someone who is comfortable with who they are. Comfortable with their own life, (Comfort looks like a big plus here!!) I love to have a good time. I love to explore. I love music. I love to travel. I appreciate a man who loves their family and can find pleasure in just enjoying life!
I'd just like to add...
As fascinating as I would like to paint this picture.. I am at a loss for words. I share my thoughts easier just by talking.

Fools Get Lucky Lyrics - Barry Manilow
Review The Song (1)
When I see you lying there
Like a living answered prayer
There are no words
For what I feel for you
My life was once a high trapeze
You pulled me down
And gave me peace
That's something no one else
Could ever do
And on nights like tonight
It scares me recalling
How close I came to falling
But fools get lucky
Fortune must like me
When people ask where you came from
I tell them that
Fools get lucky
Destiny likes me
It must be one of nature's rules
Love like yours
Should save the fools like me
When I see the good times shine
On this wayward life of mine
I tell the world
It's all because of you
Like me
Like me

Hidden Treasure | Reviewer: Steven | 6/14/12
Not released as a single; Probably never played on the radio; I can't even find the sheet music for it. But this HAS to be one of Barry's most touching, poignant songs. As usual, the analogies and images in this song, combined with a deep, haunting accompaniment, take you far beyond simple words and music.
It is very personal song for me. I first heard it in college, and I KNEW it would be an important part of my life. I've bought six different copies of "If I Should Love Again" (Album, 8-track, cassette, and three CD's) over the years just so I could have access to this song. How fitting that I can now share this song with the most wonderful woman in the world; the one who "saved" THIS fool.
Thank you, Barry.

When I was a young lad, I went fishing nearly every summer on a charter boat off the coast of South Padre Island. Almost invariably, the captain of said vessel would play Jimmy Buffett cassettes during our voyage, ostensibly believing the friendly sounds of "Cheeseburger in Paradise" would draw in the fish from miles around. Unfortunately, Archibald MacLeish's This Music Crept by Me Upon the Waters was written in 1953, well before the heyday of the Coral Reefer Bandsorry, Parrotheads. The play does, however, tell the story of an island paradise and the vacationers who populate its sandy beaches, something any Buffett fan can appreciate. Catch Music 7:30 p.m. Wednesday (through January 27) at the Bath House Cultural Center, 521 E. Lawther Dr. Tickets are $12 to $20 and the show is BYOCB (Bring Your Own Cheeseburger).

Archival Access to Historical Sound Recordings via the Internet Using the Real Audio Data Reduction Concept-Possibilities and Limitations with Inherently Noisy Material
The Danish Ministry of Culture project provides historical Danish sound records on a World Wide Web (WWW) server. It was decided to use Real Audio as the codec. In particular, resonances inherent in acoustic pre-1925 records would seem to make this extreme data reduction questionable. The wisdom of using Real Audio is analyzed under various conditions. The results and a discussion are presented.

Kim Kardashian: 'Next wedding will be simple island affair'
Kim Kardashian has her sights set on an island wedding if she and Kanye West ever exchange vows.
The twice-wed socialite, 31, who is still legally married to basketball star Kris Humphries, insists her next nuptials will be a simple affair on a beach.
Kardashian's 72-day marriage to Humphries began with a lavish ceremony that was taped for a reality TV special – and she's determined not to walk down that aisle again.
She tells Tatler magazine, "It had always been my dream to have a big wedding, and when people said that I'd made it over the top for the show, that was just me. I am over the top.
"But the next time, I want to do it on an island with just my friends and family and that's it."
Kim Kardashian: 'Kanye West understands life in the spotlight'
Kim Kardashian is convinced Kanye West's celebrity status has a positive effect on their relationship because he "understands the business" of living in the spotlight.
The socialite became part of a celebrity super couple when she started dating the rapper earlier this year, following the breakdown of her marriage to sportsman Kris Humphries.
However, Kardashian has no qualms about dating such a famous man as she finds he can support her through the ups and downs of being a star.
She tells Tatler magazine, "It's so nice to have a best friend in this game who understands everything you're going through. Being with someone I've known for so many years is comforting.
"He's been there through so many different stages of my life and before I was famous, so this relationship is a different thing entirely. It's good to be aware that he definitely doesn't want anything from me too, because he understands the business."
Kanye's cuddly gift for Kim K.
Kim Kardashian is the proud owner of a fluffy, white Persian kitten courtesy of boyfriend Kanye West. And the reality TV star isn't shy about showing off her new addition — she just can't stop tweeting photos of the cute kitty.
Kim Kardashian settles lawsuit
Reality star Kim Kardashian has settled her $20 million lawsuit with Old Navy over a case of mistaken identity.
The socialite was not impressed when she saw a TV commercial for Old Navy, which featured brunette model Melissa Molinaro, who bears a striking similarity to Kardashian and was also named Kim in the ad.
Her attorney, Gary Hecker, filed suit against the bosses of the fashion firm's parent company The Gap last year, accusing the retailers of the "unauthorized use of Kardashian's name, likeness, identity and persona."
Both parties have now reached an undisclosed agreement after hiring a mediator, Daniel Weinstein, to help them resolve the case.
The Old Navy ad has since been removed from TV and YouTube.com, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Kim Kardashian wants a star on Hollywood Walk of Fame
Kim Kardashian is hoping to become the first reality TV personality to land a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The socialite has made her name through a series of fly-on-the-wall TV shows that document her life with her wealthy family, and she is convinced she will eventually be honored for her achievements in broadcasting with a plaque on the famous Los Angeles sidewalk.
She tells V magazine, "I think there was a quote where somebody said that reality stars will never get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. So, of course I'm so competitive that I think that it would be a huge achievement and a goal that anyone would want. I would love to break that mold (sic)."
Kardashian goes on to defend her role in the rise of reality TV, insisting the genre is comparable to early rap music in the way it has been misunderstood.
The star, who is dating rapper Kanye West, adds, "I think (reality TV) is still a new form of entertainment that was kind of an unexpected thing. It reminds me of rap music. When rap music first came out, people were like, 'We don't understand this, what is this, it's just a fad'. But rap music is definitely here to stay, and I think reality shows have proven they are as well. But when something is newer, people don't really understand it."
However, a rep for the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce tells Hollyscoop exclusively, "She has not been nominated. She is a reality star. We don't do reality stars. She needs to get a real acting job then come to us,"
Dentist wants Kim Kardashian to pay – her bill
A dentist is chasing Kim Kardashian over allegations the socialite failed to pay a bill from 10 years ago.
Craig Gordon reportedly obtained a court judgment against Kardashian and her ex-husband Damon Thomas in 2002 for procedures totaling more than $1,675, but he claims the sum was never paid.
He has now filed a lien to recover the debt, which has swelled to more than $3,320, from any money Kardashian makes in her divorce from sportsman Kris Humphries, according to TMZ.com.
The TV star was married to music producer Thomas from 2002 until 2004. She went on to marry Humphries last August and filed for divorce just 72 days later.
Kanye West wanted for deposition in Kim Kardashian divorce
Lawyers want Kim Kardashian's new boyfriend Kanye West to testify in her ongoing divorce battle with estranged husband Kris Humphries.
The socialite split from the basketball star in October after just 72 days of marriage, and they have been locked in bitter legal wrangling ever since, with Humphries claiming Kardashian used the nuptials as a publicity stunt to boost her earnings.
The case went to court in Los Angeles on Wednesday, and during the hearing Kardashian's attorney, Laura Wasser, told Judge Stephen Moloney about a summons which Humphries' lawyers attempted serve on West.
Wasser claims an order calling him for a deposition was left in a box from Nordstrom outside Kardashian's house, and she complained about the legal team's tactics, saying "A strange individual (was) outside my client's house (saying) he had a box for Mr. West."
Humphries' lawyer Marshall Waller insisted they only went to such lengths because West's attorneys have failed to return their calls.
He told Los Angeles Superior Court, "Our process server rang the doorbell and amazingly she (Kardashian) answered. … He asked if (West) was present, and she said he was on the telephone. If Mr. West's attorney ever calls us back, we'll be happy to have a talk. But as a practical matter, that hasn't happened. We're jumping through hoops. We'll probably have to serve him in public."
During the hearing, Wasser also insisted she was unhappy with the slow pace of the proceedings as the socialite "just wants to be divorced" and has already paid more than $250,000 in legal fees.
She told the judge, "To say I am frustrated is an understatement. I'm at a loss to figure out what the holdup is. They had a prenup and were married (for) 72 days."
The divorce now looks unlikely to be granted until 2013. The judge ordered both sides to return to court on November 28 for a progress hearing.
Kim Kardashian makes Kanye West video appearance
Reality TV star Kim Kardashian has landed a cameo in her rapper boyfriend Kanye West's new video with DJ Khaled and Rick Ross.
The video for "I Wish You Would" incorporates part of West's track "Way Too Cold," in which he declares his love for Kardashian and pokes fun at her estranged husband, basketball player Kris Humphries.
Also making reference to his pal Jay-Z, the co-owner of Humphries' basketball team, the newly named Brooklyn Nets, West raps, "And I admit I fell in love with Kim… 'Round the same time she fell in love with him (Humphries)… That's cool, babygirl, do your thing… Lucky I ain't had Jay drop him from the team."
And it appears the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" beauty has no problem with West's lyrics about her ex after filming a brief feature for the video.
Kardashian is seen for a split-second in a dark underground tunnel scene, wearing a hooded outfit and smiling while her boyfriend's arm is draped around her neck.
"Way Too Cold" is one of two songs West has written about Kardashian – he recently confirmed speculation his new tune "Perfect B**ch" was also inspired by his new love.
Kardashian split from Humphries last year after just 72 days of marriage.
Kanye West and Kim Kardashian to launch shoe venture?
Kanye West and his girlfriend Kim Kardashian are planning to collaborate on a new shoe line, according to reports.
The rapper began dating the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" beauty earlier this year following her marriage split from basketball player Kris Humphries, and the stylish new couple is hoping to combine their shared love of fashion by launching a new range of footwear.
According to the New York Daily News, West and Kardashian met with Salma Hayek's fashion mogul husband Francois-Henri Pinault in Massachusetts on Wednesday to discuss the joint venture.
The "Stronger" hit maker has previously worked with Pinault's PPR company to design sneakers for Louis Vuitton, while he also has a deal with Nike for his Air Yeezy shoes.
West's reality TV star girlfriend is no stranger to the footwear industry either – she co-founded the ShoeDazzle.com shopping website in 2009.
Margaret Cho couldn't get on set during Kim Kardashian visit
Comedienne Margaret Cho couldn't get on to the set of "Drop Dead Diva when Kim Kardashian filmed a guest appearance on the show earlier this year.
Cho insists she had a blast working with the reality TV star on the fourth season of the program, which aired this summer, but the funny woman admits she had trouble getting through the tightened security onset as a result of their high-profile co-star.
She says on "The Talk," "Kim is so famous, I couldn't even get on the set! I was like, 'No, I'm on the show, trust me, I really am!' But they (security) wouldn't let me on! She's an amazing actress and everything she does is so huge so it was a big deal to have her on the set."
Kardashian played Nikki, a love interest for Ben Feldman's character, Fred.
