To my angel Reese,
11 years ago, while I was enjoying my morning coffee and reading the classifieds in the paper, I never imaged how much that exact moment would change my life forever for the better.
There it was, an ad for a beautiful female English Bulldog puppy. Within seconds, I made the call to come and visit you, and travelled three hours one way to bring you home. When we arrived, you were the runt of the litter and had been nicknamed Minnie due to your size. You were racing around the yard, playing with the children having a great time, not letting your size be any kind of a barrier to having fun.
The car ride home was a moment I will always remember, when you curled up in my neck and made your little grunting noise, a happy noise you made for 11 years to come.
You stole my heart and my fiancés heart instantly – and the hearts of our entire family. Reese, you were the first baby (and grandbaby!) in our lives, shaping our roles as parents and grandparents for the years to come.
Since your sudden journey to heaven, I have been trying to find the right words to talk about it, and I just can't. But it was easy for me to come up with six of the many things you taught me in our 11 years together:
- You can get anyone to love you just by being yourself.
- You can make someone feel better just by sitting close and being there.
- Patience will pay off eventually, and when it does it will be just as good as devouring a plate of bacon.
- You can snub someone with your face, but your wiggling butt never hides your true excitement.
- There is no shame in showing the world the love we share no matter the opinions of others; if anything, we can inspire others to do the same.
- Always take the time to snuggle the ones you love today, for tomorrow it may not be possible.
In my heart forever; see you on the flip-side, my fur angel.
Love, Mom.
Heidi Wagler is a working mom of two humans and an English Bulldog.

In the wake of allegations that he lied in front of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, EPA chief Stephen L. Johnson has been asked to resign by four Senate democrats. Johnson took over as Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency in 2005, and has been under fire from environmental advocates since his decision to block the efforts of 17 states to adopt stricter greenhouse gas emissions standards than those mandated by the federal government. In January, California sued the EPA over its denial of a waiver that would have allowed the state to enforce a 30 percent increase in fuel economy from any cars sold statewide by 2016—effectively a jump to a 43 mpg standard.
After Johnson blocked the request, he testified to the committee that the decision was his alone, and that Bush administration had not provided him with any direction in the matter. That claim was directly contradicted earlier this month by the testimony of a top official at the EPA, who said that Johnson had originally decided to grant California a partial waiver, but changed his mind after interference from the Bush administration.
Past administrators—particularly Bush's first EPA head, Christine Todd Whitman—have complained about receiving pressure from the White House on matters that fall directly under the scope of the agency's independent regulatory powers. Such complaints are consistent with allegations that the automobile industry used its influence within the Bush administration in an effort to block California and the 16 other states from adopting their own greenhouse gas emission standards. The fact that the industry upped its combined political spending to $70.3 million in 2007—a 20 percent increase—also serves to support such claims.

We Think Making
Videos Should Be Easy
Making great videos shouldn't be difficult or complicated. So we've developed a unique process that makes it both simple and effective.
Plan. Shoot. Edit.
This is where we set the goals.
In this step, we get to know everything about your company, who you are trying to reach and with what message. We also have to understand what your goals are. This is important because how your video looks, feels, what it communicates and what it accomplishes are all planned out in this step.
Lights, Camera, Action!
This is usually the client's favorite part (and ours too). This is where we make everything come to life. Most projects take 2-3 days to shoot; but don't worry it goes by quick! We work with you to schedule production dates, then we show up with all of the gear and make you the star!
This is where we make the video
In the final step, also called "Post Production", we take all of the video and audio we captured while shooting and put everything together. This can be the longest part of the process because we want to make sure everything is perfect. When finished, we then deliver the final video to you to share!

Everybody's an Expert
These days, everybody is an expert. I blame a lot of it on the internet, blogs, Google, reality television, cable news, and media in general to name a few. I fall victim to wanting to be an expert too.
Everybody's an Expert
I fall victim to wanting to be an expert too. I have wanted for a long time, too long now, for folks to look to me to be the authority on a subject. My problem is that I don't have a subject to wave around the world to convince them I am the authority on said topic.
Funny, huh? I think it is hilarious now; now that I realize this about myself and my blog.
I see people all over the internet, whether it be in blog format, YouTube, or any various platforms of social media where they tout their expertise on a wide variety of topics and I think to myself, "Yeah, I want to be that way too."
Only I'm not. I don't know shit.
I don't know how to cook. I don't know how to take photographs. I don't know how to write books. I don't know how to write about travel. I don't know crap about politics. I don't know how to DIY, arts or crafts. I don't know how to farm or homestead. I don't know makeup artistry. I don't know how to tell a story and tell it well. I don't know grammar. I'm sure my punctuation sucks as well. I don't know anything!
What DO I know? I know what I like but that doesn't make me an expert.
It wears me out trying to be something or someone. I do like to exercise (CrossFit) but that's not much to blog about considering I'm not an expert on that at all. I just like to do it.
Honestly, I don't really like to shop either. Nor do I feel comfortable about taking outfit-of-the-day photos, or trying to create fashion shoots. I certainly don't know a damned thing about fashion or style.
With my new job, I don't have the time it takes to build a personal brand. I am loving my new job and I've learned a lot, not just about the job but about myself!
So why do I have a stupid blog? I have no idea. I've lost my way. I am trying to remember why I even started blogging, back in the day, back in the mid-1990s. One, to be a part of a community. Two, to share my thoughts. And that was it, really.
When I started blogging it wasn't to set out to teach anyone anything. It was not to be an expert on one certain topic and it certainly wasn't to teach anyone anything. So how did I get caught up in all this popularity contest, now?
Because the landscape changed and who wants to be left behind? Maybe that's it. I don't know. Perhaps I need to start a blog titled, I DON'T KNOW. Ha! Nah, I'll stay here at Moxie Beautiful – it can cover a lot.
Perhaps I'll just go back to simply sharing my thoughts. Crap, this means I'll have to probably change all my categories around. What a pain in the ass.
Look, even my own blog is telling me I'm doing it all wrong!
Oh well. Whatever.

Carol, I came to you blog for the firs time and had a read of this article, interesting. I believe what you wrote about is actually the voice of many bloggers today who fear not to show it to the world. You are different, you came out bold and just spilled all the beans.
I have been blogging for 3 years now and I believe I had moments when I was thinking on the same lines. But then I did a lots of reading and research into what "ignites" me (or anyone). What is that "one" deepest desire which every human being is created with.
It might be to express your thoughts (without any order) to the wider worls?
It might be the love of divine and nature?
It might be an urge and a vision to help the humanity and leave the legacy?
It might be something as simple as day to day productivity?
Or perhaps, fashion and styling for a modern women in 2025 and onwards?
You choose this. You decide this. You create this vision and "personal mission statement" of your life. And I am sure you will have enough fire and passion in your belly to write about it for ever. Yes you will not be an expert on day one, or even in months or a couple of years. But as long as you keep this passion with you and visualise it every day, you will become better and better in this niche. One day you will be an expert, trust me.
Because, energy flows where focus goes.
Find your focus, spend time on it and fix it.
Then blog about it with love and care, don't worry about mastery, it will come with time.
Good luck and I liked the style and clean look of your blog + your bold writing style :)) Have a great day ahead. Cheers

What Constitutes Proper MEWP Training?
One of the biggest challenges facing our industry today is how to increase awareness about why safety training is so important.Full Story of What Constitutes Proper MEWP Training?
With the Genie® Load Lifter™, one person can easily lift, move and position heavy loads – helping to increase productivity. Use it to lift and move everything from computer and electronic equipment to small appliances or manufactured parts. It can even function as a work table.
|Max Lift Height
|5 ft 7 in | 1.70 m
|200 lb | 91 kg
|Stowed Height
|3 ft 9 in | 1.14 m
|Machine Weight
|58 lb | 26 kg
One of the biggest challenges facing our industry today is how to increase awareness about why safety training is so important.
ANSI (United States) and CSA (Canada) standards have, for almost four decades, provided best practices for safe, reliable access to work at height and have delivered a consistent benchmark for safe machine design in North America.
The new standards are based on an ISO model, so they are very similar to the current European EN280 standard. As a global manufacturer, Genie can leverage our experiences in Europe to help with the transition, but we have to remember that North American aerial operators are very different.
With Tier 4 emissions standards compliance underway, we now need to turn our attention to the next "big thing" to impact the aerial rental market — pending changes to the ANSI A92/CSA B354 standards series* (which cover all North American aerials).
With the pending changes to ANSI 92* and CSA B354 standards, there is a need for education in the aerial market about the implications of the new standards, as well as how they will work with current industry regulations.
ANSI A92 and CSA B354 standards are about to get a facelift. Pending standards changes, which are estimated to go into effect this year, are written to be more in line with the ISO model so standards will be in global alignment for trade and exporting.
The current ANSI and CSA standards for safe use and training have not been updated for many years (the current ANSI boom, scissor lift and manually propelled standards were last updated in 2006, and CSA standards go back even further).
With so much changing in the updated ANSI/CSA standards, it is important to call attention to one key item that every user (identified in the standards as employers) needs to be aware of.
With the pending changes to the ANSI A92 and CSA B354 estimated to go into effect in 2018, it is important for you to start preparing your business and your customers now for what will be different.
In addition to the terminology and language changes in the new ANSI A92 and CSA B354 standards, which are projected to go into effect later in 2018, the standards also include several big changes to the equipment itself.
Changes to ANSI A92 and CSA B354 standards are coming; we expect to the standards to go into effect in 2018. One of the more significant equipment changes coming from the updated standards will be the addition of platform load sense.
Changes to North American standards (ANSI A92 in the United States and CSA B354 in Canada) are expected to come in 2018 and will create a new "normal" for mobile elevated work platforms (MEWPs), formerly known as aerial work platforms (AWPs), worldwide.
The upcoming implementation of the new ANSI A92.22 Safe Use and A92.24 Training Standards for Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs) in the United States is creating quite a bit of confusion in the industry.

Parents Blast District For Using Emergency Contact Info To Push Tax Vote
Bait and switch? District makes robocalls on election day
Some parents in the Chippewa Valley Schools district are upset about the district calling their cell phones on Tuesday, which was election day for a district tax hike proposal. Some residents received several robocalls urging them to vote.
Parents complained in social media about the last-minute campaigning, and some also wondered if the district provided their personal contact information to a private group formed to promote borrowing and the tax hike to pay for it.
Voters rejected Chippewa Valley Schools' $89.9 million bond proposal on Tuesday by a 8,128-5,753 vote.
Chippewa Valley parent Rob Montilla said he was upset that the district was pushing information about the tax hike "through communication channels for which they collected personal contact information for school and emergency use only."
"Their message is clearly pushing for a 'yes' vote without explicitly saying 'Vote yes.' They are using our children as props to push their agenda and have violated our trust by using information, shared with them privately, for purposes other than intended," Montilla said in a message.
Montilla said he received "get out the vote" robocalls Monday with the voice of superintendent, Ron Roberts. And the day of the election itself, he received robocalls just minutes apart from the principals of two of the district's schools.
The robocalls urged residents to vote and directed them to a district website promoting the higher property tax.
Roberts didn't return an email seeking comment.
School districts often only tell one side of the financial story and provide incomplete financial information when they talk about votes on school bonds.
Chippewa Valley Schools' website says: "Chippewa Valley Schools is fiscally responsible! CVS is Michigan's largest, lowest funded school district, yet CVS spends more on classroom instruction and less on administrative and operational costs than most Michigan school districts."
The claim that Chippewa Valley is the "lowest funded school district" apparently refers to its "foundation allowance" in the state's school funding formula. The allowance is a complicated blend of state and local dollars that accounts for 75 to 85 percent of the funding a school district receives.
Chippewa Valley's foundation allowance is $7,511 per pupil this year, which is the same as 22 other Macomb County school districts. It can be argued to have the lowest allowance only because some districts — 16 in the county — have higher ones. For example, East Detroit Public Schools gets $7,820 per pupil through its foundation allowance. However, when only state revenue streams are calculated, Chippewa Valley actually received more than East Detroit: $7,744 per pupil versus $7,607.
Superintendent Roberts also used Twitter to promote a "yes" vote on the bond. He tweeted: "Here are four reasons to vote 'yes' on the bond next Tuesday." Roberts included a picture of four children of elementary-school age.
Grace Caporuscio said she received an email at 5:40 p.m. from the superintendent, through the district email server. The election-day message warned parents that someone who opposed the tax increase was contacting local residents.
"We have received a number of calls from parents and staff members who have been receiving automated calls and text messages from an individual outside of our school community," the email read. "This individual is trying to influence the outcome of today's school election. I am sorry if you have received one of those messages but I want you to know that you can trust the information the school district has provided."
"Please understand," Roberts continued, "that school districts are required by law to be truthful and provide factual information on all financial issues."
State Rep. Pamela Hornberger, R-Chesterfield Township, said in a message that she was contacted to find out if state law allowed school districts to provide a resident's contact information to independent parental groups. Some Chippewa Valley parents report that they received letters at their home residence from an organization that supported the bond.

The Daily Mirror has changed. It's not so much a relaunch, nor even a revamp. Instead, call it a refresh. The paper has been spruced up to make it more readable and more stylish.
But I would be surprised if too many readers notice the details because they are subtle enough - despite the new main headline typeface - to avoid upsetting the audience. Just the opposite… they are clearly aimed at making life easier for readers.
Altogether, the result is cleaner and less garish. The removal of certain colours, noticeably the green and yellow shadings for blurbs and panels, are welcome.
The masthead has been cleaned up too. I note that its red is slightly different, closer to its original 1950s formulation than the one the paper has been using in recent years.
Every page, including those in the sports section, have been given a makeover. There are many fewer caps headlines and the upper-and-lower case replacements are more wordy and less weighty.
This is a clear attempt to delineate the Mirror from its red-top rivals, The Sun and the Daily Star. In Saturday's issue, editor Lloyd Embley announced the changes to readers by staking a claim to the tabloid high ground:
"We are not like other tabloid newspapers. We understand what makes the Mirror different… We want to inform and analyse - not just titillate…
We have a brain - and so do our readers. We are the intelligent tabloid."
Embley will know that content, rather than pretty design, is what sells tabloids. But design is hugely important too. It should assist readers without them being aware of it. In this case, it needs to transmit the Mirror's claim to intelligence.
For example, the stand-out difference between last week's Mirrors compared to today's is the body type (Kepler, I understand). Readers may well be unaware of the change, but it is so much easier to scan than the old face, with plenty of white space. Long reads will be less daunting.
The body type change is even more significant than the choice of the new headline font (Interstate), which is a bold step in itself.
Incidentally, one other welcome change is the ditching of the crude secondary headline face, American Typewriter, and its replacement with Glypha.
These are technical details, of course. The Mirror, which has been enjoying a considerable measure of sales success over the past year or so compared to The Sun, must ensure that its editorial lives up to its boasts to be a brainy red-top. Perhaps I should have written that in CAPS!

Adam Parrish's pay-what-you-want (PWYW) Lexcavator is a new word/arcade game for Mac, Windows, and Linux that combines elements of Mr. Driller with word building ala SpellTower and other Boggle-likes.
Players must advance the (@) character deeper into a well of letters by clearing words from the board. Parrish says that "the letter generation algorithm has been tweaked to ensure that the board is always filled with meaty, lengthy words. The goal was to make a faster-paced, more tactical word game that doesn't depend on your having memorized all of the three-letter Scrabble words."
Lexcavator offers three modes of play: arcade, time trial, and quest mode. The quests and power-ups added a fun flavor to what I already expected from the game. I chuckled at "lexcellence," the option that shows the best words I made. Lastly, Parrish's soundtrack is also quite enjoyable, albeit small, with chiptune yumminess.
Lexcavator is currently trying out a true PWYW scheme, meaning you can download it for free or name your price.

We support San Francisco students on the path to college.
Breakthrough provides intensive academic enrichment and support to motivated San Francisco students with limited educational opportunities. Students apply to Breakthrough as fourth graders at public elementary schools in San Francisco. Our selection criteria are motivation and need: we seek students who want to attend college but are historically underrepresented there. We admit roughly 36 fourth graders annually, of whom over 90% are students of color and qualify for free- or reduced-price lunch. During the 2016-17school year, we're serving a total of 219 students in grades 5 - 11.
For four years, during the summers prior to fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth grade, students attend our intensive six-week summer program. Each day, they take four hours of challenging classes in math, science, literature, and writing, and complete two hours of homework nightly. They also work on study skills, attend elective classes, participate in engaging leadership development opportunities like outdoor education and Career Day, and join a supportive community of learners. During their fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth grade school years, students attend our after-school program twice weekly, receiving individualized tutoring and taking enrichment courses in academics and the arts, and join us for monthly Saturday excursions. We also assist all students with the middle and high school admissions processes.
Our high school support program launched fall 2014. During students' time in high school, Breakthrough monitors their academic performance and connects them with resources such as tutoring, SAT prep, and college admissions counseling. We'll also assist students in finding meaningful out-of-school time opportunities that will broaden their horizons and keep them on track to attend college. Our goal is to send all our current ninth graders to college, with at least 90% attending four-year schools, in fall 2018. Learn more about our expansion plan.
We train outstanding college students for education careers.
Breakthrough also operates a highly selective summer teaching residency for outstanding college students. Teaching Fellows are recruited from colleges and universities nationwide and pass through a rigorous admissions process – for summer 2016, we chose 32 of 440 applicants. Fellows receive ten days of intensive training in June and, during the ensuing six weeks, teach two sections of a particular academic course – math, science, literature, or writing – using professionally designed curricula. They are observed daily by experienced classroom teachers who provide constant feedback on their instructional strategies and classroom management techniques. Teaching Fellows also co-teach an elective class, serve as advisors to a small number of students, plan special events for the entire student body, and participate in ongoing professional development and career exploration activities.
We train our Fellows to set clear objectives for each lesson; actively engage all students; hold them to the highest possible expectations; and teach with a sense of urgency. Our long-term goal is to supply highly effective teachers for the classrooms of tomorrow, including significant numbers of people of color, men, and math and science majors. A recent analysis of our Teaching Fellows who graduated from college in the last six years -- from 2011 - 2016 - found that 66% are currently employed in the education sector, most as classroom teachers in urban public schools.

Argument, apparently over ATV use, turns deadly for Owsley County property owner
BOONEVILLE — An Owsley County man died Saturday and a second man was shot after the two allegedly got into an argument involving an all-terrain vehicle.
Kentucky State Police were called at 8:14 p.m. Saturday to Seales Road in Owsley County by Andy Smith, 25, who had been shot. When they arrived at a home on Seales Road, they found Abner Gabbard, 71, dead, apparently from a gunshot wound.
Trooper Paul Blanton said Sunday that Smith told police Gabbard was upset because Smith was riding an all-terrain-type vehicle on or near Gabbard's property. Blanton said the two exchanged gunfire.
"We are investigating it as Gabbard and Smith shooting at each other," he said.
Smith was taken to the University of Kentucky Chandler Medical Center in Lexington for treatment. Blanton said that Smith had not been arrested and that the investigation was continuing.

Friday Flirtations!
Smile girls- it's Friday!
I have been super duper busy of late, but I just thought i'd share with you these divine underwear sets from Topshop which I have been very naughty and snapped up this week.
I don't think there are many things in life more indulgent than gorgeous lingerie. I feel it is the perfect way to treat yourself without spending too much money.
New pretty lingerie + a gorgeous bottle of champagne + yummy Laura Mercier body soufflé = unparalleled happiness.
These sets are wonderful value and just gorgeous for showing off under one of Topshop's signature silky camisoles. Pair with super skinny jeans and heels for a dinner date look that is pretty but still elegant.
Go on ladies, treat yourself. It has been a rather long week!
1. This balconette bra is wonderfully flattering, complete with a little flourish of double eyelash mint lace against a cream background. It is £18 here.
2. For something even prettier, opt for this unpadded lace bra with soft lace detailing and flirty bow detail. It is also £18 here.
3. The matching briefs are £8 here.
4. The matching thong is £8 here.

Inspiration shoots are my all time fav. Its my time to think of things in my head and experiment. I use to do it all the time but work and building my business started to take over. Rim (the gorgeous model below) had contacted me early last year and asked about doing a shoot together. I said I would LOVE to because I was in the midst of wedding season and needed something a little different to keep the creativity going. I told her to let me think up an idea. I wanted to do something with a flower crown and a green field, but I wanted the crown to be grand. I wanted the hair and makeup (it was perfect) to be whimsical and the accessories to be as well. So I went to Hobby Lobby and bought all the flowers to make the crown. I had no idea what I was doing…all I knew was the crown kept getting bigger and bigger, hah. (but that was the point…to be grand). I found a metallic skirt and asked Rim to wear a light colored t-shirt. She brought some gold bracelets that went beautifully with my butterfly necklace (it was my 104 year old great great aunts…so its like an antique), and we paired it with my white fur stole (also my great great aunts, that lady had some awesome things). So we set out to make some magic. The sunlight was just perfect for what I was wanting. Rim did an amazing job being my model! That girl can pose and work the camera! I had an amazing time getting to do something I love and out of the norm. Its always good to go out on a limb and just let your mind run. I have so many ideas in my head and its sometimes hard to get going and make it happen. I have another shoot that I have been thinking in my head for 3 years now and I finally think I can make it happen. But right now its top secret…you will just to wait and see
Here are some of my favs. I also want to add, the photo of her laying by the tree. The tree is no longer there, it was struck by lightening I believe and was destroyed so they had to cut it down. I will forever be grateful I shot by that tree because it was so big and beautiful.

Wise Dan named Horse of the Year
Sometime in the 35 days between the sublime victory in Saratoga and the effortless triumph at Woodbine, trainer Charlie Lopresti started to come to grips with the reality at hand.
While the logical side of Lopresti knew better than to taunt the racing gods by bragging openly about one of his own, what the Keeneland-based conditioner was seeing from his multiple Grade I-winning charge Wise Dan was the stuff that only emanates from the exceptional — those that awe while barely straining their own reserves.
"Once he won the Fourstardave (at Saratoga) and then he went and won the Woodbine race, then I realized how special that horse was," Lopresti recalled last week. "You never want to talk and brag about your horse being special but after that ... I was really confident. I knew how good he was."
For the majority of the voters who cast their Eclipse Award ballots, there indeed was no horse in North America above Wise Dan. As he did on the track, Morton Fink's homebred gelding strode into rarefied company Saturday night when he was named the 2012 Horse of the Year during the 42nd annual Eclipse Awards ceremony at Gulfstream Park.
Before the sport's ultimate year-end prize went his way, Wise Dan was also honored as champion turf male and champion older male earlier in the evening. The 6-year-old gelded son of Wiseman's Ferry becomes the first to sweep all three categories in the same year since John Henry in 1981, who was also the last gelding to be named Horse of the Year prior to Saturday.
"It's just unbelievable to put him in the same light as that," said Lopresti, who guided Wise Dan through a six-race campaign in 2012 that produced five wins and three Grade I scores on the turf.
Wise Dan earned 194 of the 254 first-place votes cast from the NTRA, Daily Racing Form and National Turf Writers and Broadcasters. Fellow finalists I'll Have Another, winner of the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes, and Fort Larned, hero of the Breeders' Cup Classic, received 30 and 12 votes, respectively.
"For me, after all these years, you need something to get up in the morning and look forward to," said Fink, who bred Wise Dan with his lone broodmare, Lisa Danielle. "This horse has made me so happy that I can't even express it in words.
"I consider myself very lucky that in this case everything came together."
The grass may have been Wise Dan's best platform, as was evident during his course-record setting 11/2-length triumph in the Breeders' Cup Mile. But it was his versatility on all surfaces that defined him as a champion.
Wise Dan's season debut in the Grade III Ben Ali at Keene-land had regular rider John Velazquez nearly speechless in the aftermath as the chestnut gelding cantered home by 101/2 lengths while establishing a new mark of 1:46.63 for the Polytrack going 11⁄8 miles.
Following a head loss to Ron the Greek in the Grade I Stephen Foster Handicap at Churchill Downs where he was carried wide in the stretch, Wise Dan switched to the turf full time and crushed every rival along the way.
After his 5-length win over a boggy Saratoga course in the Grade II Fourstardave, Wise Dan ripped off victories in the Grade I Woodbine Mile and Grade I Shadwell Turf Mile before his climactic Breeders' Cup finale.
"When he came out of that stall Breeders' Cup night at 2 a.m., he didn't even act like he ran," Lopresti said. "And that's pretty scary."
Though he lost the big prize to Wise Dan, I'll Have Another was a slam-dunk pick for champion 3-year-old male honors, earning 247 first-place votes.
As expected, the tightest race of the Eclipse Awards was the battle for champion 3-year-old filly honors which went to the Kiaran McLaughlin-trained Questing by a scant four votes over 2011 juvenile filly champion My Miss Aurelia.
Starlight Racing's unbeaten Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner Shanghai Bobby earned all but one first-place vote in taking champion 2-year-old male honors. Spendthrift Farm's Beholder claimed champion 2-year-old filly hardware to go along with her Breeders' Cup victory.
Royal Delta, the champion 3-year-old filly of 2011, is now a two-time Eclipse Award heroine, having earned champion older female honors over female sprint champion Groupie Doll. The hard-knocking Trinniberg was a runaway pick for champion male sprinter with Zagora being named champion turf female.
Pierrot Lunaire was named champion Steeplechase horse.

You know what's really infuriating; the extreme vegans and vegetarians attacking people who eat meat but are doing their bit for animal rights. In the newest breach of animal rights which has seen Cecil the Lion unfortunately trophy hunted by Walter Palmer an American dentist, English comedian, Ricky Gervais has spoken up and used his fame for a worthwhile cause.
The issue is, Vegetarians and Vegans everywhere don't like this. Why? Because Ricky Gervais eats meat. Seriously? This massive celebrity is doing his bit for a cause you truly believe in, gathering genuine followers and propelling it into the mainstream – something which has never really been done – and you're complaining about it because he eats meat.
Now, don't get me wrong I get that it is somewhat hypocritical for someone who eats meat to point the finger. But it doesn't make his point obsolete. Trophy hunting is an awful sport, the fact that humans hunt animals for nothing other than for the pleasure of it is not only cruel but it's also just a bit weird. Like why would you want to do that? The weirdest part is, those animals that are hunted down are sedated days earlier to make it easier – so really there is no point. Other than to fill your own head with false pretences of how dominant you really are.
This, like Fox Hunting, has been going on for years. Fortunately one of them is banned. With all things there is a natural opposite and that would be the likes of Vegetarians and Vegans protesting against this form of hunting with the use of the organisation PETA. But most of the time it's to no avail. Now though there is a genuinely big personality spearheading our cause and you want to shoot him down.
The ironic thing is, he's not even campaigning against eating meat, he's campaigning against trophy hunting. Trophy hunting. I'm not saying that he is doing this to help us: he's doing it for a genuine cause, our cause. Being vegetarian doesn't give any of us the right to shoot down anyone who is a meat eater. If people join our cause, cool. If not, then if they're helping us, what's the problem?
Obviously we would all like to live in a world of vegetarians so that the wonderful species that live among us could live in peace. But we don't, eating meat doesn't make someone evil, it just means they have chosen a different lifestyle than us, something we don't have any control over.
Ricky Gervais being a meat eater doesn't make his point obsolete, it makes it hypocritical at most. We're vegetarians, not arseholes.

FEI and CEA-Leti Enter Joint Agreement to Characterize Advanced Semiconductor Materials
|(Nanowerk News) FEI and CEA-Leti today announced the companies have entered into a three year agreement to characterize advanced semiconductor materials for the 22nm technology node and beyond. European-based CEA-Leti, with its two partners on the NanoCharacterization Platform of MINATEC Campus, CEA-Liten (new materials for new energies) and CEA-INAC (Nanoscience Institute), will apply their expertise in holography and nanobeam diffraction. FEI will provide advanced nanobeam diffraction technology with its Titan™ scanning transmission electron microscope (S/TEM), the world's most powerful, commercially-available microscope. The companies will measure strain changes in semiconductor structures.
|"The research will focus on two important areas: use of holography with the Titan's unique XFEG electron source to improve the sensitivity of dopant profiling, and the use of nanobeam diffraction techniques to measure changes in strain and other crystallographic parameters," said George Scholes, vice president and general manager for FEI's S/TEM product line. "With the Titan, FEI is a leader in these areas and we look forward to partnering with CEA-Leti on their unique platform for characterization and nanoscale in continuing to advance the technology."
|"We must improve the sensitivity, accuracy and throughput of dopant profiling in order to continue supporting shrinking device dimensions. And a better understanding of the effects of strain is critical in the development of higher performance IC devices as we continue to push the technology to the 22nm technology node and beyond," stated Rudy Kellner, vice president and general manager of FEI's Electronics Division.
|According to Laurent Malier, CEO of CEA-Leti, "We chose to work with FEI on this three year research project, not only because of their powerful, commercially-available microscope, but also because of their special expertise in nanobeam diffraction applications. Together, we expect to address several critical technical roadblocks facing the semiconductor industry as it continues to push the device size and performance envelope and also challenges in the characterization of materials used in nanoelectronics and more generally for nanosciences."

From his opponent's De La Riva guard, Eduardo makes a collar and pants grip, and steps over the leg. Here he changes his grips so the hand on the pants grabs the collar and his other arm swims under the hook leg. He grabs his opponent's hand to break his grip, and dives his arm underneath the head before taking a big back step, keeping control of the wrist until he settles into side control.
Add to Favorites 577 Remove From Favorites 421 days agoStarting in his opponent's De La Riva guard, Eduardo grips both pant legs on the outside of the knees, turns his knee out to break the hook, and pushes the legs away as he pulls his own body back to create space. It is also helpful to push enough that his opponent's hips are off the mat. Now he can choose a side to pass to and establish side control.
Add to Favorites 623 Remove From Favorites 543 days agoNathiely opponent is playing reverse De La Riva guard with one foot in the biceps stretching her arm away, so Nathiely first move is to make grip on the pants and step to the side. Here she straightens her arm to release the foot on the biceps, and pushes it away. Now she drops her weight down, and her free arm hugs deep behind the head, putting her shoulder heavy on her opponent. While pushing the pants grip away from her, she back steps to free herself from the guard, and establishes side control.

He stands up a little to clear space and cuts his shin across his opponent's shin to reach the side. His opponent reacts by turning into him, so JT spins overhead to establish side control on the opposite side.
Add to Favorites 1216 Remove From Favorites 1010 days agoJT is in his opponent's reverse De La Riva guard, so he grabs the leg as if he wants a foot lock, and grips the bottom of the pants. His free hand grabs the nearside lapel and he uses the grip to pull his opponent toward him. He falls to his hip and back steps his leg out of the guard, before making a tripod with his head and positioning his hips to pass the guard.

Axens and Headwaters Incorporated Form Direct Coal Liquefaction Alliance
Axens and Headwaters Incorporated have signed an agreement to form a strategic alliance to provide a single-source solution for producing ultra- clean fuels by direct coal liquefaction (DCL) alone or in combination with refinery residues or biomass.
Headwaters Incorporated, a diversified growth company dedicated to improving sustainability by transforming underutilized resources into valuable products and Axens, a refining, petrochemical and natural gas market focused company offering products including processes, catalysts, adsorbents and equipment, create a strategic alliance around their Direct Coal Liquefaction ("DCL") technologies. The two companies will combine their technologies and licensing activities for "Coal-To-Liquids" ("CTL") projects world-wide. The new "Alliance DCL", expects to provide a single-source solution for producing ultra-clean transportation fuels from coal – whether alone or in combination with other low-cost or renewable feedstocks, such as biomass and refinery residues.
Headwaters brings its slurry catalyst technology and its extensive "Coal-To-Liquids" research facilities. Axens contributes its ebullated-bed H-Coal® Process and proprietary catalyst. Both evolved from a common background and DCL technologies developed by Hydrocarbon Research, Inc. ("HRI"), which were commercialized with support from the U.S. Department of Energy and industrial clients. Building on decades of experiences in DCL and a database on a wide range of coals, both companies have continued to increase liquid yields, improve energy efficiency, lower production costs and reduce the environmental footprint (CO2 emissions and water consumption).
Alliance DCL will market the technologies and anticipates offering project-specific services, from feedstock characterization, pilot plant evaluation, feasibility studies and engineering design through plant start-up and ongoing technical support. Axens will also provide the coal liquids upgrading technologies necessary to achieve finished fuel specifications. Both companies provided technology packages and basic engineering contributing to the successful construction and start-up of the first commercial direct coal liquefaction plant in China in December 2008. Several new DCL projects are currently in development by the alliance.
Headwaters Incorporated
Headwaters Incorporated's vision is to improve sustainability by transforming underutilized resources into valuable products. Headwaters is a diversified growth company providing products, technologies and services to the energy, construction and home improvement industries. Through its building products, energy, and coal combustion products businesses, the Company earns a revenue stream that helps to provide the capital to fund growth of existing and new business opportunities.

- She always comments even if its been 2 weeks since I posted anything. She really makes a gal feel loved.
- She has the cutest doggie named Hawkeye
- She doesn't hate me for disliking UK basketball (ok maybe she does a little)
- I live vicariously through her Bar Crawls since we don't even have a bar in the hole in the wall town I live in.
- She makes alcohol infused cupcakes. How can you not like that?
- The name Bourbon and Glitter doesn't that just sum up a perfect life?

There are several bloggers I absolute adore. But since the challenge specified naming just ONE. I have to give a shout out to Stephanie at Bourbon and Glitter. I'll try to name all the reasons that she is awesome.

By James Joyce / University of Adelaide / 2012
Print: $22.00
Finnegans Wake is Joyce's final book, written over a 17-year period. Often regarded as the most difficult English work of fiction, the book has a stream-of-consciousness style that takes the form of a dream narrative. The first line of the book is a fragment, which is a continuation of the last line of the book. Thus, the book is a never-ending cycle in itself.
The Noet edition of Joyce's works is fully indexed and tagged, allowing for near-instant search results. Use the dictionary lookup tool to dig deeper in to Joyce's novel use of English words. The books are linked with the rest of your library.
James Joyce (1882–1941) was born in Dublin. He received his early education at two Jesuit schools, Clongowes and Belvedere. In 1898, he enrolled in University College in Dublin, where he studied English, French, and Latin, graduating in 1902. While at university, Joyce was involved in the theater and literary movements in the city. Following graduation, Joyce moved to Paris to study medicine. When the French lectures proved too difficult to follow, Joyce dropped out and returned to Dublin. Following his mother's death in 1904, Joyce moved to Zurich and then to Trieste (at the time in Austra-Hungary), where he was a school teacher for 10 years. On the eve of WWI, Joyce moved back to Zurich, where he gained a patron whose support allowed him to focus on writing instead of teaching. In 1920, Joyce moved to Paris until 1940, when he returned to Zurich to escape the Nazis. He died in 1941 after surgery for a perforated colon.

Hi there!
First of all let me say thank you for your comments and support on my posts lately. WOW you guys are amazing, I just replied to the comments on my last post, I apologize for being so slow in doing that. Your kindness has been overwhelming to say the least so thank you times 9,569,493 plus infinity!
Here are my nails right now, Cover Girl Grapevine and an unnamed LA Colors purple glitter.
I have not felt up to writing here, but I have been doing my nails quite a bit.
UPdate: I had written and published this post this morning stating that I planned a double mastectomy in October, now not the case.
I just deleted and re wrote this entire post because now I am not having the bilateral mastectomy until next year at the soonest, because now I was told by my surgeon to finish my chemo first, and that it is better to do it this way for survivability. Ok yeah, that is what we want here.
She said have the chemo first, then we will talk breast surgery again. UGH. Four more treatments of TCH without the dexamethasone, the steroid that caused me to become ill and required me to be hospitalized in a mental hospital, which was the worst experience of my life thus far.
It has taken me this long to get to see the doctors and make my decision to re start the chemo and have another surgery. I am trying my best to keep healthy and strong, I know the chemo will be hard, and that is an understatement.
My timing on this update was pretty terrible LOL.
Breast Self Exam detected my cancer, not my doctors nor a mammogram. I followed up and took care of it and I might have saved my own life, I hope. My message here is do not ignore the lumps in your bumps.

"You might knock me up," I gasped, and despite all I knew of him, it surprised me he'd take that chance and be so reckless with me. "I want to," he said, his voice a low growl of desire.
When Luc walked into the stripclub I was dancing at, I couldn't help but be attracted to him. But when he brings me to the champagne room and I feel that he's packing in more than one way, I should've hightailed it out of there.
Instead, I went back to his hotel room for him to discipline me with his hand for going too far with him in the club, only for him to confess his true desires. He wants to have me: hard, raw, and unprotected. And he's so sexy and powerful — a real mob boss — that I don't want to refuse him anything.
A novella.

LUCIA, pregnant with the child of a Watcher, has escaped the clutches of the unhinged fire god. Her powers are dwindling as she goes forth to fulfill a prophecy that will keep her baby safe . . . but could mean her demise. JONAS treks back to Mytica with a plan to overtake Amara, but fate takes hold when he runs into the beautiful Princess Lucia and joins her on her perilous journey. AMARA has taken the Mytican throne, but with no way to unleash the water magic trapped within her stolen crystal, she'll never be able to seize glory and get sweet revenge. And what kind of darkness will descend--and who will be safe--after Prince Ashur reveals the dangerous price he paid to cheat death?

Top 5 Worldbuilding Tips from Morgan Rhodes
If you're a fantasy writer, aspiring fantasy writer, or just think it would be cool to write a fantasy book someday, I've got some worldbuilding tips that might be useful for you….
- FANTASTICAL WORDS: I think it's best to lightly sprinkle in words you've made up rather than use them everywhere you can to give a real "fantasy" feel to your story. Keep in mind, your reader is from the planet earth, which planet earth language, so calling a tree a "fashameeta," or something, is really not necessary unless that particular fashameeta is super integral to the plot.
- POLITICS and EVERYDAY LIFE: No matter how little you care about such mundane things in the real world, in a fantasy world they're pretty important to make it feel real. Which means: who rules the land? A president, king, or emperor? Who creates the laws? Who enforces them? How are criminals treated: imprisoned or executed? Who determines this and is corruption possible? How are taxes paid? How do you show the divide between rich and poor? What kind of money do they use and how do they acquire this money? This goes double for things we take for granted: what's the plumbing like? How do the characters get clean water? Food? Clothing? Birth control? Medical attention? These worldbuilding elements don't necessarily need to be spelled out in the book itself, but it's probably a very good idea for you, as the writer, to know this information and jot it down somewhere.
- ENTERTAINMENT: What do your characters do for fun? You should decide if there are books…and if there are books, does that mean there are libraries? Bookshops? Printing presses? If technology isn't advanced enough for printing presses, you're looking at scribes who would hand letter every book, which is time consuming and costly, so lowly peasants likely wouldn't own a large library…does this mean the peasants are illiterate? Do your characters go to plays? Listen to/write poetry? Do they play musical instruments? How are these instruments different from what we have in our world?
- COURTING and ROMANCE: How do your characters hook up? Are they bold and say what they mean, or do they hold true to a strict code of prudish morals, including attendants and chaperones? Is a dowry necessary for girls to be married off to a respectable gentleman? Is this a world of arranged marriages for political gain or do people marry for love? Perhaps there's another reason they'd get married? What are marriage ceremonies like in your world? Do couples ever elope? Why would they choose to do this?
- MAGIC: Magic sometimes feels like the easiest part to add to a fantasy, but this is actually just the opposite. More than anything, magic needs to have rules. For example, the Falling Kingdoms series has elemental magic (which I named elementia), and if a witch possesses only air magic, she would not be able to heal a wound (earth magic). Someone can't simply fly because it would be cool for the scene. And if you're going to raise someone from the dead, or kill someone with a thought (as a main character can do in my Spirits & Thieves trilogy) this dangerous magic needs to be established up front. And of course, magic should have consequences. If you can easily pull a rabbit from a hat and that's all there is to it…where's the conflict? The interest? The dread and excitement? Because those are the things that make a book a page turner.
Of course, theses are only a few guidelines and your mileage may vary. But if you are worried that worldbuilding is too difficult and overwhelming to tackle… It's not. It's fun, actually! I highly suggest you jump right in and start brainstorming your fantasy novel. The world is waiting to experience your imagination!

Morgan Rhodes lives in Ontario, Canada. As a child, she always wanted to be a princess -- the kind that knows how to wield a sharp sword to help save both kingdoms and princes from fire-breathing dragons and dark wizards. Instead, she became a writer, which is just as good and much less dangerous. Along with writing, Morgan enjoys photography, travel, reality TV, and is an extremely picky, yet voracious reader of all kinds of books. Under another pen name, she's a national bestselling author of many paranormal novels. Falling Kingdoms is her first high fantasy.

I took a quick look the other day for some ideas and came across these lovely little "Chick-sicles" from Just Another Hang up.
I picked out a few fabrics from a stash of old clothes I have kept for upcycling into other projects (most of these clothes seem to have mysterious little holes that I swear are caused by my washing machine). I followed the patterns and instructions on Suzanne's blog, and created my versions of these little cuties:
My daughter just said, "Thank you for making us these birds." I am so glad she likes them.
Note: I just realized the button eyes might not be the best option in the microwave. I will have to remove the buttons and embroider them instead if it is going to be used as a heating pad.

In this post, we'll show you the best memory cards for Olympus OM-D E-M5 II.
It's got 1 x SD memory card slot, and is one of the few cameras on the market that supports UHS-II interface!
This is great news if you're looking to get the most out of your memory cards and the camera itself, as with Full HD at 60fps video recording and 10fps+ burst mode, you'll need a good memory card! You definitely don't want to buy something cheap or from an unknown brand, as it will only result in long buffer clearing and random pauses in videos.
Speed Class of SD Cards
|Our opinion
|Class 4
|Too slow for most modern cameras. Skip it.
|Class 6
|A little bit better but unless you take 3 pictures a year, skip it.
|Class 10
|Good enough for most cameras with 20+ megapixels and Full HD video.
|Good enough for most cameras with 20+ megapixels and Full HD video
|Perfect for fast burst cameras, Full HD at 60fps and 4K video
As mentioned above, the Olympus OM-D E-M5 II is UHS-II compatible and can take advantage of the extra speeds offered. Compared to UHS-I, you will get faster minimum writing and reading speeds in-camera, and also faster file transferring directly to your computer.
If you send hundreds or thousands of photos/videos to your computer on a weekly basis, UHS-II is definitely your best friend.
We don't recommend picking a Class 4 or 6 card, as these might even result in in-camera errors since they're not good enough. Skip these completely. Plus, the 2 memory cards we recommend are affordable anyways.
Go with a 32GB or 64GB sized card, and buy a couple of these if you need lots of storage. It's better than buying one huge card because you risk losing all of your shots if that 1 card fails.
These are the best 2 SDHC/SDXC memory cards you can get:
Lexar Professional 300MB/s UHS-II U3
The Lexar Professional 300MB/s UHS-II U3 offers faster speeds for both writing and reading files. It's the perfect match for any UHS-II compatible camera that records 4K (which means Full HD is even better) or has a fast continuous shooting speed (8fps+). The buffer clearing time will be much much quicker which means you can take more shots.
Don't have a memory card reader that supports such speeds? Luckily you get a free Lexar UHS-II reader that'll greatly reduce the waiting time. You also get a free downloadable Imaging Rescue software. It comes in 32GB, 64GB and 128GB sizes.
You can buy it at Amazon or see more reviews here.
SanDisk Extreme Pro 95MB/s UHS-I U3
The SanDisk 64GB Extreme Pro 32GB U3 is our favorite card for UHS-I cameras, seeing as it's inexpensive and provides writing and reading speeds near 90MB/s, but it's still a great choice for the Olympus E-M5 II. It's cheaper than the one above, but remember that file transferring speeds will be slower.
The speed makes it perfect for whatever you're doing; fast bursts with large megapixel cameras, 4K video, let alone Full HD at 60fps. It comes in 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, 128GB and 256GB sizes.
You can buy it at Amazon or see more reviews here.
Comparison of the 3 Memory Cards
|Sandisk Extreme Pro 95MB/s U3
|Writing files: ~90MBs. Reading files: ~95MB/s
|Lexar Professional 300MB/s U3
|Writing files: ~240MB/s. Reading files: ~280MB/s
What Brands are the Best?
Your photographs and videos are stored on a memory card, so you should definitely not try to save any money here by buying from unknown, cheap brands. While you save a few bucks, you probably won't even get the advertised speeds, and are at a bigger risk of losing your shots.
We see too many beginners choosing the cheap route here, but until you transfer your shots to a computer/online, this is where they're stored at. You want the memory card to be the most reliable piece of your equipment!
Stick to Sandisk, Lexar, Transcend, Kingston, Sony and Toshiba. There may be a few other good brands out there, but the ones we mentioned are already more than enough and offer great prices.

After hearing (only) her name for the first time, one would think that she could be part-Filipino. But 21 year-old Marilyn Ramos – who is Miss South Africa 2012 – is a cool mix of Portuguese and South African.
Almost petite at 5'5 3/4″, Marilyn – a resident of Klerksdorp in Pretoria – is one of those few national pageant winners who represent their respective countries in both Miss Universe and Miss World, and with the blessings of both global organizations. When she won the crown last December, the Sowetan Live reported that "…A warm-hearted personality and an approachable demeanour ensured Ramos scooped the coveted title." She is a student of Interior Architecture at Inscape Design College.
Asked about how she intends to leave her mark as Miss South Africa, Marilyn stated that "…I feel that the youth has a lot to learn from the elderly and contrariwise the seniors deserve the affection, compassion and respect of the youth. I intend to encourage young people to volunteer at old aged homes. I will achieve this by hosting workshops, motivational speeches and charity events. I will encourage the youth to visit retirement homes and hospice centers across the country."
