Where the hell are we going?" Conchita demands.
"It's just a couple more blocks," I tell her. I'm lying, of course. FBI Rocks #1 (11528 Jones Road, 281-807-4116) is not just a "couple of blocks" away from anything. We're out on Jones Road, near FM 1960. Conchita understands streets named 75th or 20th; 1960 is two numbers too many for her. But I've been hearing about FM 1960's rock scene, so I want to check it out for myself.
"This is a biker bar!" Conchita groans as we pull into the FBI Rocks parking lot. "No, no it's not. It's a regular bar." I'm lying again, of course, and to prove it, a guy on a rumbling motorcycle pulls in just behind us. I manage to get Conchita in the door only because there's a huge barbecue pit out front, with a sign that says My Von's Bar-B-Que & Soul Food on it. "There's barbecue," I smile at her. She's still suspicious, and she's holding her purse real tight, but she's inside.
FBI Rocks #1
The FBI (which stands for "Forgettaboutit") isn't a war zone bar. Yes, there are some bikers, but they're all pretty sober. There are lots more rockers, from barely legal to thirtysomething, also pretty sober. And there are lots of biker girlfriends, wearing skin-tight leather pants and tiny, tiny tops, but they smile at us when we walk by. Some guys are playing pool (each with their own custom stick and fancy carrying case), and a couple of other people are playing cards on some casino tables. And there are a dozen or so people at the tables near the stage. It feels like a friendly neighborhood bar. A neighborhood where Audioslave lives next door to Lynyrd Skynyrd and Van Halen carpools with Led Zeppelin, but hey.
On stage the four-member Tempus Fugit (that's Latin for "time flies") are cranking out Iron Maiden's "Flight of Icarus." Conchita and I head for a table, but then realize we'd be blocking the view for a couple of people at the bar. We start to back off (Conchita's wearing heels and earrings, neither of which is good when you're in a bar fight), but the couple motions for us to take the table. I sit down, but Conchita's spotted the barbecue, and she's gone.
"Jey," slurs the woman at me, "go ahead and sits down. It's cool, we're all just here to..."
"Party!" the man jumps in.
"Ah, okay. Thanks," I mumble, not sure if this is a couple or a tag team. I want to get my bearings before I get friendly.
"Jey, 'e's my brother," she says, reading my mind. "We're twins."
Her brother nods madly.
"I'm seven second older than hims."
"Seven seconds or seven minutes?" I ask her, not sure twins can be born just seconds apart.
"Noooo, seconds!" she answers and bursts out laughing.
On stage, "Icarus" is over, and the guitar player is going over some chord changes with the bass player. The bass player nods, and the band kicks off Thin Lizzy's "Cowboy Song." I'm starting to think Tempus Fugit is really pretty good. The guitarist plays clean, no slurs or buzz -- completely unlike my new best friend and her twin brother, who are nothing but slurs and buzz. They've joined me at my table, I suddenly notice, in an exceedingly smooth move that I didn't even see happen.
"Jey, I used to be blond, y' know?"
"I used to be blond and everywhere I would go, guys would look at me, y'know?"
Her brother nods.
"Then lass week, I dye my hair...and now, nobody look at me. That's not right, y' know. That's not right...I'm still me. Why don't they want to look at me?" She's getting a little angry. I'm not sure if she's angry that the guys won't look at her or that I don't feel more sorry for her, but before I can figure it out a big, bulky guy walks over and grabs her ass. She laughs and says, "These is my husband. You know him?"
"No, we ain't met. How you doing?" I reach out to shake hands, realizing a second too late that that's the hand he just had on her ass. He grabs my hand and pulls me in to him, a pickup move I remember well. He's standing a couple of inches from my face now. I can smell cigarettes, beer and something like peppermint, all coming from the vicinity of his mouth. Schnapps, maybe? Do straight guys drink peppermint schnapps?
"Hi," he grins, and snuggles even closer.
Great, now I've got ass germs on my hand and a peppermint schnapper in my face.
Tempus Fugit is happily bumbling "Stairway to Heaven" on stage, and Conchita is back with a platter of barbecue. She looks at us and frowns, not because some strange, drunk guy is hugged up on me right in front of his drunk wife and her seven-seconds-younger twin brother, but because with all our drinks on the table, there's no room for her plate. Thankfully, a bar back walks by just then and clears away the empty bottles.
"That was for Rolls-Royce," says the guitar player. "Rolls had to be put down and we just want to send that out to her."
An awkward silence settles in while Conchita gives me an "I told you this was a biker bar!" sneer.
"Rolls was a dog, y'all! Rolls was a dog," the guitar player says, seeing our confusion. Conchita shrugs and goes back to her ribs, which, by the way, she won't share with anyone, even though she keeps saying, "Um, these are great!"
A few minutes later, the twins and Schnapps boy leave -- amid much hugging and promises to "Call you later!" (Me, not Conchita, because she also didn't share her phone number.)
After the set is over, we make our way to the door. The band is on break and hanging out. "You all were great," I tell the singer.
"Thanks," he smiles.
"How long have you been together?"

Mom Presses Her Pregnant Belly To Glass, But Orangutan's Emotional Response Leaves Her In Tears
Pregnant mother Morgain Cole Abbot got a real surprise when she attended Colchester Zoo in Essex, the U.K. The mother was viewing a 48-year-old orangutan named Rajang when she pressed her baby bump to the glass. Rajang couldn't take her eyes off it. He gently pet the glass as if to pet Morgain's belly. Then all of a sudden, he kissed it.
The interaction was so touching, Morgain began to cry. It is no secret that primates are incredibly intelligent creatures, but in special moments like these, we witness how much we have in common with them. It's as if all beings are awestruck by the miracle of life.
"I think I'm going to cry," she says.
Morgain says the orangutan noticed that she was pregnant immediately. Rajang began pointing at her bump as soon as she stood in front of the glass. This isn't the first time Rajang has reacted to a pregnant mother this way: expectant mom Kayley Bethany also had the pleasure of experiencing Rajang's affection.
"I couldn't believe it when he bent down to kiss it," she told Daily Mail. "It was incredible and really showed his intelligence as he knew straight away I was pregnant and singled me out."
The mother was so stunned by the incident, she and her husband plan to help raise money for the Orangutan Foundation.
"I really do hope some people have donated. If every person donated even one pound, it would have raised a brilliant amount for such a good cause," Morgain said.

Wow! It has been awhile since I posted. Often times when I don't post for awhile I haven't completely neglected the blogging world - I read my favorite blogs, just don't write my own posts. This time though, I haven't even been following my favorite blogs. Why? I could say time, but really I'd say it is because of FACEBOOK. I recently discovered Facebook. I've had an account and I've scoped out my friends, but I've discovered Facebook as a business.
I set up a Facebook account (www.facebook.com/junkparlor) and go in spurts of being slightly psycho about my numbers. How many "likes" can I get? What can I do to get more "likes?" When I post, how many comment? How many share? How many "talk" about me. It really is funny because WHY DOES IT MATTER! Most of these people are not going to drive to Centerville Iowa and buy something anyway. And while other big boys can sell things via Facebook, I cannot. At least not yet. I will figure out how to make that happen eventually. I am determined and competitive by nature. I will win, I mean be successful. Right now someone asks how much something is and that is it.
I know that I am not the only one who has an emotional roller coaster with Facebook. At Junk Jubilee, my neighboring vendor and I talked about it frequently, particularly a lady who sells in her neck of the woods in the Chicago area who always has tons of comments, likes, and requests for price and purchase via Facebook. It drives Jocelyn crazy because she has the same items, does the same things, and gets no comments or likes. I see other business owners comment about it too. I think a lot of it boils down to hitches in Facebook. People don't see all of your posts because they haven't checked a certain box that they didn't even know existed. And some people have more time to sit on Facebook at network. I try to only when I am eating. ;) I'm a clean eater (aka eat every 3 hours) so I'm always eating!
Maybe I should spend more time blogging and less time Facebooking? Or even better, I should spend more time working on my projects and less time at the computer. Or even better, I should spend less time doing all of this and more time with my kiddos.

It's your NHS, don't waste it
We're making your local NHS work better for you. To do it, we need your help because #ItsOurNHS.
Why are you making changes?
Your NHS is facing a massive financial challenge. Nationally, your NHS needs to save £22bn by 2020/21. This year, 2016/17, NHS Bradford City and NHS Bradford Districts clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) need to save £13m.
To make savings we need to work together. There are no additional resources available, savings need to be made now so that we can meet increasing demand and ensure that local services continue to meet your needs.
We are looking at how to be more innovative, more productive and help you use your NHS resources better whilst making sure services are still of the highest quality.
How can I get involved?
To make sure you get the most out of every NHS pound spent in Bradford, we're asking you to take more control of your health and change the way you use some of your NHS services. Some things that we need you to do are:
- take the medicines you are given - the most expensive medicines are the ones not taken. 50% of medicines are not taken as directed within 10 days of being prescribed.
- not asking for medicines you don't need - check what you've got at home first. Your NHS can't reuse medicines once they have been given out.
- use your NHS to the best - sometimes your GP isn't the best person to see, you can see your pharmacist, quickly without an appointment.
- buy some medicines from shops instead - it's cheaper to buy medicines for short term, minor illnesses, from your supermarket or pharmacy.
Join in with the campaign on social media. Follow us on Facebook, @NHSinBradford or on Twitter, @NHSBfdCityCCG and use #ItsOurNHS to show your support for making a change.
What are you doing?
We will be looking at your whole patient journey and seeing how we can transform your services to give you a better experience. We are also looking at how we can innovate, be more productive, prevent your NHS resources being used inappropriately and ensure your services are high quality.
This is all part of our response to the national Quality, Innovation, Productivity and Prevention (QIPP) programme, which is all about ensuring that we are providing real value for money by making every journey you have with your NHS count.

Hi guys! Today I'm going to review something I've been addicted to.
Revlon Colorstay Mineral Lipglaze. However, since I'm a genius and forgot to take pics of the actual product, here's a pic I found online of how they look
The colors I got are Continuous Coral and Timeless Nude. Continuous Coral is a corally red color and it reminds me greatly of MAC Cyndi l/s. Timeless Nude is a great everyday nude color and doesn't wash me out.
Here are the swatches. Obviously the dark one if Continuous Coral and the light one is Timeless Nude.
Price: I got it for $8.99 BOGO @ my CVS. Sometimes they even have coupons like $3 off for them. Definitely a steal!
Where to buy: Any drugstores, like Walmart, CVS, Walgreens, Rite-aid, etc
Texture: It goes on like a regular lipgloss, it feels very smooth and moisturizing. However, as you wear it, the gloss gets tackier and a little drier. I guess this is why it's "long-lasting". I recommend wearing a lipbalm underneath this since it can be drying. I only wear these for the colors anyway, so I don't really care about the lasting power.
Lasting power: It lasts about 3 hrs on me if I don't drink/eat anything, which is a lot better than many other l/g, but it's nothing spectacular.
Overall Rating: 4 out o 5
Would I re-purchase? YES! I'm already eye-ing Perpetual Pink and Eternal Blossom. I'm on No-Buy though....:(
Lip Swatches:
Timeless Nude<--very MLBB
Continuous Coral <--looks EXACTLY like MAC Cyndi l/s on me...but glossier
Surprise FOTD!
Timeless Nude:
Continuous Coral:
What I used:
--Revlon Colorstay Blemish Free concealer on any pimple scars
--Stila illuminating concealer on my dark circles
--Physician's Formula Heathy Wear SPF50 powder foundation in Translucent Medium
--MAC Emote to contour
--NYX blush in Peach
--LORAC e/s in Suede all over lid
--LORAC e/s in Beige as highlight
--LORAC e/s in Kiwi on bottom lid
--Laura Mercier liner in Caviar
--Maybelline Lash stilettos waterproof mascara combined with....
--Maybelline Lash colossal mascara
--Revlon Colorstay Mineral lipglaze in Timeless Nude and Continuous Coral
That's it y'all. Thank you for your continuous support!
Love you with all my heart,

Actually D-Man, I was a little concerned over the anti-HDR feelings I have heard and read lately and wanted to do a couple of HDR, a couple of my new fusing techniques and a couple of neither, just a little massaging and let the members try and pick them out. I find it really disturbing, when I hear people that don't understand that it's tone mapping that can make an HDR image look over-cooked, not the actual process of HDR. I actually maniplulate colours, in regards to HDR, much less than others do with traditional photo processing! I don't do layers (yet) and I find that much more unreal than HDR! I also never boost saturation more than about 5%, I do play with micro-contrast, to help the clarity though! I take it your assessment is HDR?
The !!! was because I really liked the color and the glow. Did you take the shot during our Meetup? I assume so. I think it's an HDR process, firstly because of the lack of shadow lines perhaps, although the diffused light and your position can eliminate that. Second, because it's quite detailed and what can happen with HDR processing is the uniformity of tone. Is it really? I like how you described that HDR can sometimes look "over-cooked". They can sometimes look over-saturated or two-dimensional; objects can have halos. Images can look unreal or like paintings. It's a process that isn't easy to accomplish. * Someone once told me that the most accomplished HDR images aren't recognized as such. Sure, if what you intend is realism, or version of. Perhaps the spectacle of color or texture is important, or the fine detail, or the abstraction, or the idealization, or the lingering in nostalgia and dream-like perceptions. Whatever it is, the artist will find a way to make it. * I got off my purist film high-horse. Like bracketing, superimposing, dodging and burning, whether in B&W film or digital, HDR is a tool in the art of photography. As always, the photograph isn't completed in the camera. * I don't tend to like those over-cooked images or when the techniques is used universally. But I like those examples where the technique is manipulated well or pushed to make interesting compositions, or art that just happens to be photographs.

Where do I find Media Library in FTP program
Hello, I can't upload files to my site currently, but, I figured that maybe I could do so via CoreFTP and get the job done. Trouble is, I cannot find Media Library in the FTP folders. Can anyone help me locate the Media Library folder in the FTP program. Hopefully my server will repair the access issue but I'd still like to know how to get files onto my website via FTP just in case the regular upload does not work.

Catholic Bishops and pro-life groups in Canada have criticised a government report which recommends the legalising of assisted suicide, including for adolescents.
Following the issuing of the report compiled by the Special Joint Committee on Physician Assisted Dying, which offered 21 broad-ranging recommendations for government towards drafting a bill to implement assisted suicide across the nation, the prelates denounced the practice as "not part of health care" and called on the government to instead implement a national policy that protects every human life and respects individual conscience.
Writing on behalf of his fellow prelates, Bishop Douglas Crosby, president of the Canadian Bishops' Conference stated: "The report's recommendations are the approach of a 'throwaway' society. They do not reveal the face of God's mercy. Killing the mentally and physically ill, whether young or aged, is contrary to caring for and loving one's brother and sister."
The Bishop's message was echoed by numerous advocacy groups opposed to euthanasia and assisted suicide.
Natalie Sonnen of LifeCanada said of the report's contents: "These recommendations are reckless, and broadly influenced by a radical philosophy of absolute autonomy. I think they go way beyond what the public had expected."
Speaking on behalf of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, meanwhile, executive director Alex Schadenburg described the report recommendations as "a near worst-case scenario" and added: "We haven't seen what the bill's going to say, but we see the recommendations, and basically it's a wide-open model with very little clear defining controls."
Among the recommendations contained in the new report is a call for assisted suicide to be made available to those who are not terminally ill, and those with mental illness or with a psychiatric condition. The report also argues that adolescents who are judged to be 'mature minors' should also be allowed to seek assisted suicide.
The Canadian report came on the same day as finding from the United States revealed a 26% increase in those seeking assisted suicide in the state of Oregon, where the practice has been legal since 1997.
According to the Christian Institute, latest figures for the Oregon Public Health Division show that 132 people died by assisted suicide in 2015, up on the figure of 105 for the previous year. Recorded figures since the introduction of assisted suicide reveal a 12% annual increase annually.
On reasons given for seeking death, the Oregon figures show that 92% of people cite "losing autonomy" as a reason while 75% cited a "loss of dignity".
More than 96 per cent of people sought assisted suicide because they felt "less able to engage in activities making life enjoyable".

Will the networks take the Republican National Committee's threat of a boycott seriously?
Yesterday, Republican National Committee (RNC) chairman Reince Priebus sent letters to NBC and CNN, warning them that if they continue to pursue their announced plans to produce movies about the life of Hillary Clinton, "I will seek a binding vote stating that the RNC will neither partner with these networks in 2016 primary debates nor sanction primary debates they sponsor," Priebus wrote.
In one another sent to Jeff Zucker, president of CNN Worldwide, Priebus expressed his "deep disappointment" in NBC's intention to produce a mini-series, and CNN's intention to produced a feature film "ahead of (Clinton's) likely candidacy for the Democratic nomination for president in 2016."
He further insisted that both networks' credibility will be damaged by their intention to "produce an extended commercial for Secretary Clinton's nascent campaign."
The chairmen of the Republican parties in Iowa and South Carolina, where a number of Republican debates have been held in the past, applauded Priebus's efforts, further contending that they would have support from others within the ranks of the RNC. Iowa GOP Chairman A.J. Spiker released a statement saying his organization "looks forward to helping the RNC start a new chapter in how Republicans across the country stand up to a biased media."
The RNC has also initiated a petition drive, noting that the networks' efforts amount to a "thinly-veiled attempt at putting a thumb on the scales of the 2016 presidential election."
Priebus emphasized the hypocrisy of Democrats who complained when conservative political group Citizens United planned to air "Hillary, the Movie," a video-on-demand documentary about Clinton before the Democratic primaries in 2008. That move was initially blocked by the federal government, when courts ruled it violated the provision of the 2002 McCain-Feingold law regarding campaign financing spending limits. In 2010, the Supreme Court overturned those rulings in the landmark Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission case. Members of the Clinton administration also voiced their complaints about a 2006 miniseries "The Path to 9/11" that was eventually aired by ABC after the network altered it in response to those complaints.
Some Clinton movies are more equal than others.
Both CNN and NBC have yet to officially comment on the RNC's demand, but political director Chuck Todd tweeted that NBC's news division had "nothing to do" with the NBC Entertainment project, and CNN spokesperson Allison Gollust told Politico that "CNN's editorial side has no role in the production of the film, just as it has no role in any of the films produced or acquired by CNN Films."
Priebus wasn't buying it. "It's appalling to know executives at major networks like NBC and CNN who have donated to Democrats and Hillary Clinton have taken it upon themselves to be Hillary Clinton's campaign operatives," he said in a statement. "Their actions to promote Secretary Clinton are disturbing and disappointing. I hope Americans will question the credibility of these networks and that NBC and CNN will reconsider their partisan actions and cancel these political ads masked as unbiased entertainment."
The amount of those donations were outlined in Priebus's letters. In the letter sent to NBC, Priebus said that the network, including Comcast, its parent company, have been "generous supporters of Democrats and Secretary Clinton." Priebus noted that Comcast Executive Vice President David Cohen raised over $1.4 million for Obama's reelection campaign, and held a fundraiser for the president. Comcast employees also contributed $522,996 to Obama and $161,640 to Clinton's previous campaigns. In his letter to CNN, he contended the upcoming film itself constituted an "in-kind donation" to Clinton's political campaign, noting that her "two decades in the public eye" undermined the notion that a documentary about her political career "is any sort of public service, or eye-opening journalism on an unknown individual."
Former Obama advisor David Plouffe mocked the RNC's demand in on his Twitter account. "Better RNC debate plan. Held in hermetically sealed Fox studio. Avoid exposing swing voters to Crazy S*#t My Nominee Says," it said. That would be the same David Plouffe who managed to largely avoid the kind of media exposure he should have received for taking a $100,000 speaking fee in 2010 from a company doing business with Iran, about a month before he joined the White House staff.
Moreover, Plouffe has a conveniently short memory. If there is anyone who has benefitted from a hermetically sealed media bubble, it was Barack Obama during the 2012 presidential debates. Due to the RNC's spinelessness, the three debates were moderated by three dedicated leftists, including PBS's Jim Lehrer, CNN's Candy Crowley, and CBS's Bob Schieffer. In the second debate, Crowley sealed Obama off from his lie that he had called Benghazi a terror attack from the beginning, a claim debunked by Obama himself on more than one occasion, and most notably during his speech at the United Nations of September 25, 2012, when he once again referred to the violence being sparked by a "crude and disgusting video." Crowley subsequently admitted she had erred, but the damage had already been done. Furthermore, in all three debates Obama got more time to speak than Romney did.
Thus, Priebus has undertaken an effort, early as it is, to alter that far-too-familiar media trajectory. Yet one is left to wonder if it will indeed succeed. Neither NBC or CNN are likely to be browbeaten into killing movies about Clinton based on the threat the RNC won't be inviting them to cover Republican primary debates. That the companies would risk alienating Clinton supporters and perhaps a number of advertisers as well, based on what Priebus describes in both letters as a "sense of fairness and decency in the political process and your company's reputation," seems quixotic at best. NBC Entertainment chairman Greenblatt has already defended the production of the movie, albeit indirectly, insisting that his network needs to create "event" programming that will draw viewers to the declining arena of broadcast TV. CNN's Jeff Zucker claims his network is unbiased, even as he admitted that its lack of conservative on-air talent "was probably a valid criticism."
Time will tell if Priebus will win this battle. Yet it's about time the RNC did something besides accept the idea that their fate is inevitable. In that regard, Priebus is to be admired. For far too long, the Republican Party's entire agenda has been reactive and defensive. They have allowed Democrats and their media allies to frame every issue. Priebus is indicating he that dynamic to be challenged. Republicans would be fools not to follow his lead.

Wed, 19 October 2016
Sarah Chayes was a reporter for NPR working in Afghanistan after the fall of the Taliban. Then, in early 2002 she decided to give up her career in journalism to help rebuild the country. She joined the NGO world, eventually founding an Afghan based NGO. And during this time, while living in the former Taliban stronghold of Kandahar, she became an advisor to the top US generals in Afghanistan.
These experiences in Afghanistan informed her prize winning book, Thieves of State: Why Corruption Threatens Global Security, which as the name suggests examines the corrosive effect of corruption in post conflict countries and beyond.
We kick off talking about the problem of corruption before discussing Sarah's fascinating life and career.

Attend campus, talk to current students, and learn to study smart! From what I've heard from my future peers, some of the more intensive classes can be less stressful if you take extra time to study before the lectures.Read More
this school is not for you if you need more attention academically. In a larger setting I feel like I will be distracted and will not really focus on my studies. If you are like me, i reccomend a smaller school for you, where the teachers actually have time for you and your counselors as well.Read More
I would definitely recommend visiting the school before you apply. There are a lot of events/days that are reserved and created just for prospective students. I would highly recommend that you attend these events to get a better idea of what Iowa has to offer.Read More
Make sure your test scores are high, for they are quite generous to those with high test scores. A difference of one point on the ACT kept me from being able to afford this school, so make sure you do your best and keep at least a 3.5 GPA. You can get in with a lower one, but the financial aid will not be as good.Read More
get involved! as a freshman/transfer student the more you are involved in activities (clubs, movie nights, football games, etc.) the more fun you will have an create a great network of friends.Read More

Career Management
Successful career development is more than doing a good job. Dressing for success, business writing skills, career networking – all are vitally important.
Business Management Daily's succinct, workplace-tested career advice is designed to help you position yourself to succeed in your chosen field.
Don't keep your professional skills and accomplishments a secret between you and your company.
If you find yourself in a tough relationship with your boss, instead of updating your résumé and embarking on a quest for a new job, learn how to improve your relationship. Start now by asking yourself these four questions.
Thinking about exiting your company? Conventional wisdom holds that employees leave managers, not companies. But recent LinkedIn surveys reveal deeper truths.
LinkedIn is a powerful resource for business professionals when used correctly. Are you making these three mistakes?
You use technology every day, but are you getting the most out of it? Take the initiative for your own professional development, and set aside time each week to improve your technology aptitude.
The old adage "You only get one chance to make a first impression," though obvious, holds wisdom. Focus on these three areas to boost your image:
Journaling has surprising benefits for professionals. Whether you use pen and paper or an online platform, journaling can help you tune in to yourself and your habits—and chart a path for improvement.
Many people's day job and passion are separate pursuits, but there's a way to manage your time and be successful at both.
Struggling to write a compelling social media biography? With these tips you'll be on your way to crafting the perfect one.

Nice rational KPOP site that doesn't suck the cocks of YG and SM entertainment like the other site that shall remain nameless.

The Children's Shows/Movies That Drive Parents Absolutely Nuts
What do your kids watch that you wish would disappear off the planet forever?
Yesterday I was scrolling Facebook, and I came across an article titled, "The internet wants to punt Caillou right in his stupid bald head." It's a little harsh, but apparently parents everywhere absolutely HATE Caillou (if you don't believe me, check out the article! It's pretty hilarious).
Calliou isn't the first children's TV show that annoys parents beyond belief, and it certainly won't be the last. My mom was probably so sick of hearing the Barney theme song that she wanted to bang her head against the wall. The fact of the matter is, kid's shows are not meant to appeal to adults, so it makes sense that parents can be driven a little nuts from time to time.
I started up this conversation on Facebook last night, and had a HUGE number of responses. Parents called out shows old and new, including Blue's Clues, Power Rangers, Barney, Peppa Pig, Bob the Builder, Spongebob Squarepants, The Wiggles, Max and Ruby, Thomas the Train, and more! I'm just shocked nobody has mentioned "Frozen" yet…
Now we want to hear your answers! Parents, what tv show or movie do you wish would somehow erase itself from the face of the earth? Share your answers with us in the comments!

Martha Stewart is an American lifestyle business mogul, best-selling author, and Emmy-winning television personality. Martha Stewart is a beauty with brains, starting out as a fashion model, she became America's first-ever female self-made billionaire thanks to her Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia which was once worth $2 billion. Stewart has seen her net worth fluctuate over the years as a result of the vagaries of the stock market relatively influenced by own decisions, one of which landed her behind bars in 2004.
In recent times, Stewart's net worth is estimated over $300 million most of which came from the sale of her Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia to Sequential Brands for $353 million in 2015. Prior to the sale, she had an estimated net worth of $220 million.
Here's everything about the two time self-made billionaire, how she built her empire and her recent endeavors to re-join the billionaires club.
Martha Stewart Net Worth: How Martha Stewart Began
Martha Helen Stewart was born Martha Kostyra on August 3, 1941 in Jersey City, New Jersey to a middle-class family of 6 children. From the age of 3, Martha was raised in Nutley, New Jersey a community near New York City, where her parents had moved.
Martha began meddling with celebrities at the age of 10, when she began babysitting the kids of New York Yankee stars Yogi Berra, and Gil McDougald. In her early teens, she began modelling, appearing on several magazines and TV commercials for companies like Unilever.
After graduating from Nutley High School, Martha proceeded to Barnard College where she studied architectural history, initially switching from Chemistry and then European History. In college, Martha continued modelling to bolster her scholarship money, which proved highly lucrative. She worked with luxury brands like Chanel, earning as much as $50 per hour.
As a college undergrad, Martha found love in the eyes of Yale Law School student Andrew Stewart and the pair got hitched in 1961. Martha graduated from the Manhattan college with double major in History and Architectural History in 1962.
Martha Stewart Net Worth: Catering And Cookbook Business
Martha continued modelling, had her first kid before launching a career on Wall Street as a stockbroker for the boutique firm of Monness, Williams, and Sidel. In 1972, Stewart and her husband Andrew who was an executive at several publishing houses moved to Westport, Connecticut. In Connecticut the family bought a 1805 farmhouse on Turkey Hill Road. During the revamping process of the rustic house, Martha discovered she had a lifestyle side.
With self-tutored knowledge on cooking, Martha decided to begin as a caterer, and soon launched a catering business in her basement with one of her modelling friends who later pulled out. After working for a gourmet food store, Martha opened her own store which enjoyed rapid success.
Martha heeded Crown Publishing boss- Alan Mirken's advice and ventured into cookbooks. Mirken, a friend of her husband had hired her to cook for a book launch party and was impressed by her superb delivery. Martha's first cookbook "Entertaining" was released in 1982 to massive success, becoming a New York Times bestseller. She followed up with numerous equally successful cookbooks. She also began writing magazine and newspaper columns.
Martha's success was accompanied with popularity as she was featured on various hit talk shows. By the late 80's she had become a millionaire.

Martha Stewart Net Worth: Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Empire
Sadly, fame comes with its own issues. While Martha was a celebrated homemaker, her own home was in need of a makeover. After three years of being estranged from Andrew, the pair finally divorced in 1990. However, business continued to bloom. Martha signed a multi-million deal with Time to publish her own lifestyle magazine called "Martha Stewart Living".
The incredible success of the magazine opened the doors to a TV and radio business. Martha launched an half-hour TV show on CBS and there, she added TV personality to her repertoire. Martha consolidated her businesses ventures which also included an e-commerce site and floral company into a single empire she called "Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia" with 96% belonging to her. As a private company it recorded annual retail sales of over $735 million.
Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia launched its IPO on the New York Stock Exchange on October 19, 1999. On opening day, its share price exponentially rose from $18 to $38 per its 72 million share, making Martha Stewart America's first female self-made billionaire with a market capitalization of almost $2 billion.

Martha Stewart Net Worth: Insider Trading Scandal And Indictment
While running her own empire, Martha owned stocks in several companies one of which was ImClone Systems, a bio-pharmaceutical company founded by Samuel D. Waksal who was dating her daughter. So when one of its drugs had been disproved by the FDA prior to its sales, Waksal informed friends and family to sell their stocks as the revelation by the FDA would hurt its share price. Martha received the information from Merrill Lynch broker Peter Bacanovic and immediately sold her entire 3,928 shares, for $230,000, saving $45,673.
As a result, Martha went through a highly publicized 6 week trial and was finally found guilty of securities fraud. Martha relinquished her position on the board of NYSE as well as several positions on her own company. She was sentenced to 5 months behind bars, 5 months house arrest and 2 years of probation.
The aftermath of the scandal was immediately evident in her own company as its share price took a sharp plunge, selling at only $7 per share. Martha was fined $137,000 and ordered to give up the profits. And her billionaire status was gone with the wind!
Martha Stewart Net Worth: Comeback And Recent Endeavors
While in prison, MSLO's stock soared by 90% making Martha a billionaire for the second time. Sadly, after her release in March 2005, stock prices fell again. However, she was soon back to winning ways as she relaunched her eponymous TV show on Hallmark Channel (it was later cancelled in 2007 after 2 seasons). She also resumed publication of her several glossy magazines, authoring books and syndicated columns. By 2007 Forbes estimated her net worth at $550 million.
Martha has signed multiple licensing deals with the likes of Macy's, Kmart, craft chain Michaels, PetSmart, Home Depot and more. She has her name on almost anything you can think of from wines, to cookery, and even a line of houses.
She sold her MSLO to Sequential Brands in 2015 for $353 million which was paid 50:50 in stocks and in cash. Martha remains as the Chief Creative Officer of the company.
Martha together with her longtime friend rapper Snoop Dogg launched a new reality show called Martha & Snoop's Potluck Dinner Party which premiered to high ratings on November 7 2016 on VH1 channel. She is definitely showing no signs of slowing.

Jennifer Lopez & 'Idol' Kiss
April 21, 2011 by USA Post
Jennifer Lopez & 'Idol' Kiss, Casey Abrams may have been voted off American Idol 2011 (and later saved by the judges), but is doing everything possible to ensure that does not happen again – even if it means convincing the judges through sexual behavior.
The idol hope – which is dating fellow American Idol contestant Reinhart Hailey – Jennifer Lopez, decided to make a judge with a kiss. So, in the heart of its activities, Abrams decided to establish a big Jennifer Lopez, leaving the singer in the ground almost without words and people in fear.
When Jennifer finally has it under control, had nothing but good things to say about Casey – including his lips are soft.
Some think that Casey kiss was a desperate move to the praise of the judge and to get more votes, while others think it was fun and harmless.
Personally, I think along the same line to kiss your boss – even on the cheek, that kind of behavior is unacceptable.
What do you think of Casey Abrams Jennifer Lopez kiss? Take a look below if you have not seen (or you just want to see it again):

But the theme of this year's Burning Man was "Metropolis". As explained in at the BM site:
Tumult and change, churning cycles of invention and destruction - these forces generate the pulse of urban life. Great cities are organic, spontaneous, heterogeneous, and untidy. They are, like Burning Man, magnetic hubs of social interaction. This year's theme will function as a micro and a macro-scope, an instrument through which we will inspect the daily course of city life and the future prospect of civilization.
So what they decided to design for the temple was something opposite. It was a temple hearkening back to primitive man, pre-city. When humans sought shelter in dunes, caves, and canyons; natural protections from the harsh elements of nature. What they arrived at was the TEMPLE OF FLUX:
I took these photos on the first day of the week, so you'll have to imagine that a few days later the walls, the crannies, the whole place was filled to the hilt with scrawlings, photos, poetry, confessions, hopes, dreams. In places, it looked like some child's museum curated bedroom filled with stuffed animals of lost loved ones, framed photos, every last centimeter covered in keepsakes, dreams, and memories.
The remembrances, obituaries of relatives, all so strikingly honest. Not the mamby pamby "You were the best father in the world" but more like, "You grew up with a chip on your shoulder, and I'm not sure why. But you never wavered in who you were. You were never a hypocrite." Things like that. Or this:
"To Alejandra and all those I let down, I'm sorry that I could not live my life with you in mind. I'm sorry that I moved on. I'm sorry that I chose life and this journey over you...
General advice, aphorisms, wishes, dreams, advice
The presence of hope is the source of all fear
The loss of hope is the source of all grief
The absence of hope is the source of all despair.
At one point I saw a woman, in the midst of writing on the wall, begin sobbing and shaking so hard, still trying to get it out, finish that phrase she was writing. Some people went over and put their hands on her back until she could finish.
On one of the last nights, Bam and I, after all our miles of wanderings around the wonder, beauty, and insane adventure on the playa ended up at the temple. There, in the middle of the desert, were dozens of people huddled up writing, reading; some sleeping, others curled up by one of the fires. It was very near dawn, 5:30 in the morning, and we were weary, cold and hungry. This man wandered over to us and, in the true random gifting spirit of Burning Man, from out of nowhere he opens this pink box and says, "May I offer you a donut?"
It was exactly what we needed at that very moment, something that happens often out there. I believe that's the true challenge of Burning Man, to find a way to bring a piece of that back to the default world. What a difference place this planet would be if this generosity of spirit, this manifesto of unity prevailed. What a wholly different man I would be.
On the last night, the temple burns. In stark contrast to the party fueled, firework filled burning of the MAN the night before, with all its music and revelry, the temple burn is utterly silent. All those left in Black Rock City come humbly to the temple, 40,000 or so, and sit in silence. We remember what we wrote, or what someone else wrote inside, and as it goes up in flames, the entire crowd sits in perfect reverence as all the memories, wishes, hopes, memories and regrets fly up into the night sky.

Want to boot from a new hard disk with windows 7, keeping the old XP
Hi, I have been using windows xp, installed on a ATA hard disk. Recently I bought a SATA hard disk and installed windows 7 ultimate on it. I installed the new windows unplugging the previous hard disk and it boots ok. But now I don't want to switch from win XP to windows overnight, since it is a home PC and every one is used to the previous settings and all.
Now when I plugged in the old hard disk, there is no option to boot from my new windows. And the new hard disk's drive letters start from the previous one's last drive letter, where I want the new hard disk's 1st drive to be C:.
Is there any way to keep the previous installation and choose in boot time from which windows I want to boot from? Also how can I make my new hard disk's drive letters start from C:?
Thank you

Trump does it again in France
Just after the embarrassment during his visit to London, president Donald Trump caused another incident today while on visit with president Yannick Jadot in Paris.
On Monday president Donald Trump arrived in London, welcomed by the British royal ceremonial band playing "The Star-Spangled Banner", while he leaved Air Force One. His first difficulty was to defend his hairspreads against the breeze. He was later greeted by prime minister Theresa May, when he commented "I very appreciate all this pomp the british are famous for, it's great! But I've had really hoped Queen Thatcher would be welcoming me here." Prime minister May later stated she understands this as some kind of American humor.
The question now is how does French president Yannick Jadot interpret what, during the talks at Élysée Palace in Paris, Trump said to him: "Imagine, the British did not even let me meet their Queen yesterday; you know, you and I, we are buddies now, aren't we? So I hope you let me see yours!". Both presidential press offices did not wish to comment.
Basic income has proven successful in Finland
Until 2018, Finland tested an unconditional basic income in different degrees. Other countries have remained fearful that people would stop working all together and so did never dare to even try. After years of full basic income in whole Finland, quiet the opposite has happened. While loosing up to 29% GDP in the first two years, it has now risen to a total of $298.000 billion, a grow of about 20% compared to the last year before the test runs.
This happened mostly because of an enormous drive of innovation by individuals who now have gotten the time to pursuit their ideas and dreams. In consequence, the number of small companies expanded by about 1100%, many of them working in clusters on bigger projects. The cost of health care has dropped to 26%, thanks to an increase of 2400% in community volunteer work.
RIAA demanding shut down of the entire Usenet
One of the pillars of the early internet, the Usenet got started in 1980 to publish and read messages in newsgroups of different categories. It also has become a popular platform for sharing copyrighted material. For this reason the RIAA filed a lawsuit today with the Supreme Court of the United States against all US Usenet providers. The RIAA has done so before and providers were ordered to prevent copyright infringement. After this measures result was unsatisfying for the RIAA, the goal is now to terminate the Usenet protocol entirely.
Soda tax goes sugar
Sugar consumption is responsible for an extreme increase for several years now in Alzheimer's, Diabetes and many other deseases. In an urgent meeting last month, the World Health Assembly of the WHO decided that all member countries will tax monosaccharides with 10$ per pound, while subsiding honey, xylitol and stevia, starting next month.
Violent outbreaks over changes in healthcare
It was easy for President Trump to criticize former president Barack Obamas work. Now the new administration is about to learn the hard way that campaigning is not the same as governing. The new healthcare plans which replaced Obamacare 8 months before, have caused an increase of 350% in homeless people, after many of them lost workplace and all their savings because of health problems and treatment costs. The percentage of people from the middleclass who are still struggling is yet unknown, but daily street demonstrations from thousands of peoples in most of the bigger cities let suspect high numbers.

Hello everyone,
My husband is a U.S. Marine and is currently deployed on a U.S. Navy ship. His name is Vejah (pronounced Vee-Jay). My daughter and I have not seen him since the beginning of May when I came to my hometown a good while before he actually deployed. Please pray for his safe return, that God cover him and protect him wherever he is. Also, my husband sent me an email a few days ago saying that he is very ill, and that he wouldn't be able to write to me for a while. He didn't give the details to what he has, but please pray that God will bless him with His healing hand and that he feels better soon. Also, my daughter is 21 months old and has issues gaining weight, she is not mal-nourished and the doctors have checked her thyroid and kidney function to ensure there's no disease or disorder that can be causing it. But please pray that she gains weight, and also pray that God blesses her with the discernment of words, that she may learn more and more and be able to conversate more. Thank you so much for your prayers, they are greatly appreciated by my family and I, and especially by the Almighty Lord our God. God bless you all.

Mental competence key to murder trial
The Supreme Court has been told that the central issue in the trial of a Perth woman accused of murdering her twin babies will be her mental capacity.
Rita Ariyaratnam is alleged to have killed her seven month old son and daughter in July last year.
She was found lying unconscious beside the babies at the family's Cloverdale home.
Today, Ms Ariyaratnam appeared in court via a video link from Graylands psychiatric hospital where she has been held since her arrest.
Both the prosecution and the defence told the court the main issue at her trial would be her mental health at the time of the babies' death.
She is due to stand trial in September.

Welcome back to Wine Down Wednesday where I review a vegan dish, today it's tender Potato Kale Cakes, paired with two different wines selected by my friend Gregg at Broadbent Selections.
Vegan Version of Bon Appetite's Potato Kale Cakes
To pair wines with a meatless dish we must look at the spices and main flavors of the recipe.
In this dish we have garlic, thyme and nutmeg.
The wines are Secateurs Rose, South Africa, 2011 (SO excited about this one) and Caballero De La Cepa Malbec, Argentina, 2010.
Secateurs Rose, South Africa, 2011
Secateurs Rose
This rose is from a blend of grapes grown in the Swartland district of South Africa-the vines being some of the oldest in that region.
"The Cinsault and Grenache grapes were picked early in the morning and the whole bunches were gently pressed so as not to extract too much color. The Shiraz juice had 4 hours of skin contact before it was pressed, then the juice was blended and naturally fermented in tank. Only 15% was fermented in old French oak casks. The wine was clarified naturally with minimal filtration, then bottled. Only 300 cases of this wine and ready to drink now."
Caballero De La Cepa Malbec, Argentina, 2010
Caballero De La Cepa Reserva Malbec
This wine, in 1947, was the first to label wine by a specific varietal. Gregg's suggestion for Malbec was to first taste, then decant the wine and funnel back into the bottle two to three times, then taste again.
Here is the rating info.
Category #1 – How well my dish turned out.
Category #2 – How well I like the wine.
Category #3 – Pairing notes – How well this wine pairs with the dish.
Rating Scale
Bleck -This wine is pretty bad.
Ho Hum- I could drink it if I was at a football game and there was nothing else in the cooler.
Nice -Good table wine. I would keep this in the wine cooler if it was a good value.
Yum – This is good, I would pay a fair bit more and have it for a special occasion.
Damn that's Good – Self-explanatory.
** We will use the same terminology for how the dish turned out and how well it paired.
Category #1 The Dish
Rating of Yum
The dish was delicious with its caramelized potatoes and wilted kale, but somewhere I went a bit wrong and they didn't hold together. Next time I might add a bit of breadcrumb or some Mila to get it to stick together. They made a perfect light dinner with some fresh corn from the farm.
Category #2 The Wines
Caballero De La Cepa Reserva Malbec Rating of YUM and once decanted a Damn That's Good
I was glad that Gregg gave me the recommendation to decant this wine and funnel it back into the bottle about three times. Technically I broke my decanter so I had to aerate with two glasses for each glass of wine I wanted to drink; however it was well worth it. On initial taste I noticed spice and cocoa and it had a medium body; the color a deep burgundy/purple. After "decanting" the wine really opened up-more body, smoother and a bit of fruit. I wrote "WOW!"
Secateurs Rose Rating of Damn That's Good
Maybe I'm partial because I got a chance to meet Adi, the Winemaker of this South African wine, but this rose was DAMN good. I'm also partial to roses lately and I've decided it's my new favorite. I loved the color of this one and wrote "JUICY!" as my first note and then rosy and fruity. Though you may see the pink color, this actually a dry blend of Cinsault, Shiraz and Grenache. Gregg (my friend from Broadbent Selections that is supplying the wines for each recipe), if you read this….I definitely want to order this again!
Category #3 The Pairing
Paring with Malbec Rating of YUM
With a bite of the kale cake and a sip of wine the taste of nutmeg exploded – the spicy Malbec was a great choice.
Paring with Secateurs Rose Rating of Damn That's Good
This light and fresh wine is perfect with these vegan veggie cakes. The outside of the cakes becomes a bit caramelized and is lovely with the chilled rose. Damn that's good. Oh wait, I already said that.
Where to buy
All the wines will be for sale locally at the Grotto in San Marco. You can contact Mitch Woodlief, firstname.lastname@example.com with questions and pricing and anyone outside the Greater Jacksonville area can contact E-MAIL: mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com PHONE PHONE: US +1 415-931-1725.

Loses Its
Lincoln Sentinel
, 9 February 1896
The Yorktown Store is in the hands of Mr. Morris, a representative of the Symms Grocery Co. of Atchison. The Atchison house sold goods to the Yorktown company, Wm. Lutz, manager, in the amount of $1,707.28, for which it seems they were not likely to receive their pay. Thursday of last week J.D. Young, ex-state senator for the Beloit district, acting for the Symms company and others, went to Yorktown and placed the store in charge of Mr. Morris, son of Col. Dick Morris, deputy collector or revenue for the district of Kansas and Oklahoma. Mr. Young came on the Lincoln and filed mortgages and bills of sale against the New York Store company as follows:
Symms Grocery Co., $,707.28; H.L. McDonald & Co., $1,600; James Finnegan, Beloit, $90.00; Glen Elder State Bank, $1,000; New York Mercantile Co., $680; Hayes, Norman & Co., $708; Glen Elder Milling Co., $135. Total, $17,228.48. These, however, are not the total liabilities, as every lawyer in Lincoln has received instructions from wholesale houses to look after their claims, which range in amount from $80 to $300 together with a number of due bills held by farmers in the vicinity of Yorktown, both in Lincoln and Mitchell counties. It is said that the total liabilities may equal up to the $40,000 mark, though it is not likely to do so.
Mr. Young told a Sentinel man Saturday that he believed the assets would eventually wipe out the liabilities. It is hoped that Mr. Young's estimate is the correct one, and that our farmer friends at least will not be heavy sufferers. The company bought up everything in sight, and paid for it in goods and due bills were lifted.
The failure of the Yorktown Store company is an apt illustration of what our Pleasant Valley correspondent is getting at when he pretends to believe that the Ellsworth merchants are doing a good thing for the country by paying more for produce than they can get for it. This instance is sufficient to explain our meaning: The Yorktown merchants paid 17 cents for corn and sold it for 15 cents; yet the goods they gave in exchange were said to be lower in price than those offered at other places for the cash. Somebody had to lose, and somebody did. The future must reveal who. The failure is a bad thing for this country, as it will have a tendency to shake the "confidence" of the wholesale dealers in the stability of our local merchants.

Our Parish
St Matthew Orthodox Church serves Green Bay, the Fox Valley, and Door County.
The parish was founded in Appleton at the request of a group of dedicated lay people and through the priestly ministrations of Archimandrite Hilary (Madison). When a shift in dominant membership from Appleton to Green Bay occurred, the new Orthodox community began to meet in rented quarters in Green Bay. During all this time, until 1992, Fr Hilary faithfully and sacrificially served the mission, enduring many hours every weekend of riding public transportation back and forth from Chicago.
At the request of Fr Hilary and His Beatitude Metropolitan Theodosius, who was Locum Tenens of the Diocese of the Midwest at the time, Fr Michael Herrick, PhD, a priest and psychologist attached to St Mary's Cathedral, Minneapolis, was appointed as the first resident priest, beginning July 1, 1992. This was made possible by a 3-year grant from the Diocesan Department of Missions. While limited by the rented space and its use by others as well, more of the Liturgical Year began to be celebrated. The attendance at the worship services began to increase, and new people began to hear, learn about and be converted to the Orthodox Faith. During this time in our history (1992-1999), it was necessary for Fr Michael to rely on secular employment for most of his income. While resident and accessible, he functioned on a half-time and later on a full-time basis as a psychologist in the local State maximum security Prison to help support himself. He is now retired from the State.
As part of the growth picture, in October of 1994, a building was purchased and provides space for both a temple and church hall. Now, at last, the Church Year can be celebrated appropriately, and this alone is a major change in the nature and functioning of the St Matthew Community. Many of our people live as far as 30 to 50 miles or more from the church, and their faithful attendance continues to be a sacrifice blessed by God.
In 2003 Fr John Wehling moved to Green Bay to serve the parish. A former protestant pastor, Fr John attended St Tikhon's Orthodox Theological Seminary before being ordained to the holy priesthood on the Sunday of Orthodoxy in 2003. The membership of the parish has continued to grow in the last six years as more and more people in Green Bay and Northeast Wisconsin discover the riches of the ancient Church.
In June of 2011, with Bishop MATTHIAS' blessing and encouragement, Fr. John accepted an opportunity for ministry in Livonia, Michigan. Fr. Maximus Cabey was assigned and appointed by Bishop MATTHIAS as the new Rector for St Matthew Orthodox Church. He was ordained to the holy priesthood on the Feast of the Universal Exaltation of the Cross by Metropolitan Jonah on September 14th 2010 at Three Hierarchs Chapel at St Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary. Fr. Maximus graduated from St Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary in May of 2011. He has an extensive background in church ministry and in the business world, and both he and his wife, Matushka Photini are energetic converts to the Orthodox faith. Fr. Maximus and Matushka Photini moved to Green Bay on July 1st 2011 and have been busy ministering in the parish ever since.
On Wednesday April 30th, 2014 St. Matthew Orthodox Church purchased a former Presbyterian Church building at 607 Ravenswood Drive in Green Bay. We moved in the week of May 11th, 2014 and had our first services in our new building on Saturday May 17th, 2014. The Lord continues to bless and grow the Orthodox Church in Green Bay.
In September, Bishop Paul assigned Father Eugene Wozniak to our parish. Father Eugene, his wife Antonia and their two daughters, Elizabeth and Sophia arrived in Green Bay in October.
Father Eugene is a graduate of St. Vladimir's Seminary where he twice toured the country with the seminary's Octet male choir. He served in the military as a US Navy chaplain at Camp Lejeune NC, Oceana VA and Juneau AK. He also served as an Othodox priest and chaplain in Iraq, Afghanistan and other countries in the Middle East and Europe.

The Mission of The Orthodox Church in America, the local autocephalous Orthodox Christian Church, is to be faithful in fulfilling the commandment of Christ to "Go into all the world and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit…"
Saint Matthew Orthodox Church is part of the Diocese of the Midwest, which is presided over by The Right Reverend Paul (Gassios), Bishop of Chicago. Our mission is bringing the joy of Christ's resurrection to those who have never heard the Good News, and to strengthen and encourage the faithful who reside within the Green Bay vicinity.
The Holy Scripture is a collection of books written over multiple centuries by those inspired by God to do so. It is the primary witness to the Orthodox Christian faith, within Holy Tradition and often described as its highest point. It was written by the prophets and apostles in human language, inspired by the Holy Spirit, and collected, edited, and canonized by the Church.
Holiness or sainthood is a gift (charisma) given by God to man, through the Holy Spirit. Man's effort to become a participant in the life of divine holiness is indispensable, but sanctification itself is the work of the Holy Trinity, especially through the sanctifying power of Jesus Christ, who was incarnate, suffered crucifixion, and rose from the dead, in order to lead us to the life of holiness, through the communion with the Holy Spirit.

If you have been following my blog for any amount of time you may be thinking, 'Don't you LOVE everything you tell us about?'
Well, you would be right LOL- and that my friends is why I became and REMAIN a consultant with Close to my Heart!
I have been hearing from my customers for a while now about shadow boxes- why don't we carry any? especially when they show one in the idea book all the time?
Answer: cause CTMH hadn't made one yet that was BETTER than what was already available! And now they have!!!
First of all, they are gorgeous and really well made- our shadow box frames come in black or colonial white (which is a cream colour). The opening will fit a 12×12 page perfectly. What is the best part? The frame lifts up so that you can fit in your page without damaging it- this feature makes it very easy to change up your frame time and time again! Closure stays closed with a magnet- seriously this is genius!
I was lucky enough to receive one of these frames as my parting gift for my term on the Advisory Board- a bittersweet moment for sure. This AB turned out to be the last for CTMH as they move in a new direction and strike policy committees as needed. I have loved every moment of being part of the AB and am so happy that I had the opportunity at all.
(The art department created the layout- gorgeous!!! It features lots of our new product.)
If you want to order one of these beautiful frames then just click the photo below- you will NOT be disappointed!
Until we craft again, The Brae-er

thanks lee, no i hadn't tried revo as i thought i couldnt find the different registry components etc.
in programs and features there is only the option to repair win7codecs, the uninstaller is in the sharks package itself, under help tab.
if it is possible i will use revo, but i think if shark007 sees this thread then he can tell me whats what.
|My System Specs
|29 Oct 2011
On the Startmenu | All Programs | Shark007 Codecs, is an uninstall shortcut
In the Settings Application, on the Help TAB, is a button to uninstall.
You also need Admin privileges to perform the uninstall.
Your screenshots seem to suggest the uninstaller is broken somehow.
In this case, I would suggest that you delete the unins000 files,
re-install the x64 Components and then uninstall using a method suggested above.
Using Revo would be a BAD idea. Using Revo could actually leave you broken.
It has no idea what settings my app has changed in your system.
Using a proper uninstall method reverts your system to a pre-install state.

thanks shark, that solved it, a re-install gave me a dat file numbered 001 so i was able to uninstall no problem.
