Green Ideas
The ideas here involve large scale building of infrastructure and attitude change. They will not be implemented in the near future. But if they are implemented, the environment will be much improved. The Government should initiate them quickly.
1. City of No Fossil Fuel Cars
Rechargeable hybrid cars and all electric cars are already in production. But the Government must push and support their uses before they can replace all fossil fuel cars. It should set up short term, mid-term and long-term goals for the change over, say to forbid the use of fossil fuel cars in 20 years. Then it should legislate the use of rechargeable hybrid cars and all electric cars, build the needed infrastructure and finally provide incentives for car owners to change over.
2. Green Burial
This is even more environmental friendly than cremation. Corpses could be frozen to 77.36 K, grinded to powders and dehydrated. The remaining powders could be buried under young trees. One hundred years later, when no one is likely to pay the remains tribute, the whole cemetery could become woodland again.
3. Environmental Reports
Psychological studies have found that issuing environmental reports to people can raise the effectiveness of environmental protection. In the United States, an electric power company sends its customers the average electric energy consumed in their neighbourhood and the number of users with a lower consumption when sending its bills out. Shortly after, the average usage of electric energy fell by 2% to 3%. The Government should lead the way in this regard. For example, it can ask schools to provide the amount of electrical energy and water used per year. Then it can work out the amount used per head per unit area and per hour used and inform the schools. Presumably the schools will implement more or better environmental measures.
Road to the New Energy Economy: Earth, Wind and Water. Discover, November 2012. P53.
4. Waste Water to Energy
Water treatment plants usually use 0.7 kWh of electrical energy to sanitize 1 cubic meter of waste water. But a new generation of water treatment plants can use the chemical energy inherent in waste water to generate energy. Every cubic meter of waste water treated can produce 1.6 kWh of electrical energy. It may cost more to build such next generation water treatment plants, but in the long run it is well worth it.
Road to the New Energy Economy: Earth, Wind and Water. Discover, November 2012. P50.
5. Natural Fertilizer
For ten thousand years, we had used excretions from human beings and farmed animals as fertilizer. About one to two hundred years ago, farmers started using chemical fertilizers for fear of bacterial infections. But now technology can sanitize these excretions. It is time to model after nature and use excretions for farming again.
Flushed with success. New Scientist, 16 February 2013. P49-51.
6. Controlling Population Growth
While discussing environmental issues, few people mention population control. Yet if we do not control the growth of population, any environmental protection measure will be futile at the end. To bring about an acceptable, slow decline in population, governments should advocate two kids for each woman who can breed. Do not advocate giving birth to 3 kids because the population is dropping too fast.

Victoria Caroline, San Antonio, successfully makes erotic photos of women. Many of her customers cancel, however, when they find out that they have to reveal their bodily flaws in front of the camera. Yet she remembers one woman very clearly - because she got a very specific request from her husband. She tells the story on her Facebook page.
"Tonight I want to tell you ladies about a time I messed up really badly. It was back when I first started boudoir, and I had a mid-forties lady book my services at a GORGEOUS hotel in downtown San Antonio. She was a curvy, beautiful size 18. I thought she looked like a goddess, but as most women do, she had a request.....
She came to me, looked me straight in the eyes, and said "I want you to photoshop all of my cellulite, all of my angry red stretch marks, ALL of my fat, and all of my wrinkles....just make it go away. I want to feel gorgeous just ONCE." So, I did exactly as she asked. We spent an hour and a half together going through many, many poses. I went home, made every last stretch mark disappear, smoothed out every dimple of cellulite, took away every wrinkle. I turned her into the epitome of what every woman dreams of being."
"Christmas rolls around, and she gifts her husband a BEAUTIFUL hand tooled album with about 30 of her images. 3 days later, I receive this very REAL email:
"Hi Victoria,
I am (blank)'s husband, ********. I am writing to you because I recently received an album containing images you took of my wife. I don't want you to think that I am in any way upset with you....but I have some food for thought that I would like to pass on to you. I have been with my wife since we were 18 years old, and we have two beautiful children together. We have had many ups and downs over the years, and I think...well, actually I KNOW that my wife did these pictures for me to "spice things up". She sometimes complains that I must not find her attractive, that she wouldn't blame me if I ever found someone younger. When I opened the album that she gave to me, my heart sank.
These pictures...while they are beautiful and you are clearly a very talented photographer....they are not my wife. You made every one of her "flaws" disappear...and while I'm sure this is exactly what she asked you to do, it took away everything that makes up our life. When you took away her stretch marks, you took away the documentation of my children. When you took away her wrinkles, you took away over two decades of our laughter, and our worries. When you took away her cellulite, you took away her love of baking and all the goodies we have eaten over the years. I am not telling you all of this to make you feel horrible, you're just doing your job and I get that. I am actually writing you to thank you. Seeing these images made me realize that I honestly do not tell my wife enough how much I LOVE her and adore her just as she is. She hears it so seldom, that she actually thought these photoshopped images are what I wanted and needed her to look like. I have to do better, and for the rest of my days I am going to celebrate her in all her imperfectness. Thanks for the reminder.
******** "
Ladies, I can photoshop just about anything. But I encourage you to think twice about how much "altering" we do. Our loved ones cherish and adore us just as we are. This email was 100% real, and I cried like a baby with guilt for at least 6 months after that whenever I read it. I encourage you to embrace YOU just as you are!
...oh, and just in case you don't have anyone telling you how beautiful you are tonight....YOU ARE SO DAMN BEAUTIFUL!!!! heart emoticon."
What wonderful words: I got tears in my eyes! Since Victoria posted this e-mail with the permission of the special husband, thousands of people have shared this message and comment - especially many men who think the exact same thing about their wives. When this honest and important message also touched you then share it with everyone that you know!

God has designed all of us to be alike in many ways. However, there are particular features of our individual lives that prepare us to relate with and get connected to some people better than we might with others. For example, men and women are alike in hundreds of ways. Nevertheless there are challenges that each gender faces that are unique to that gender. Therefore it can be fruitful to provide gender-specific programming from time to time. The same goes for age-specific programming, parent-oriented programming, and programming for many other demographic groupings.
Through the various ministries of our church, we seek, therefore, to cultivate diverse opportunities for spiritual growth, each providing programs, discipleship, and care designed to help to you in your own specific context.
Small Group Sunday School
We highly value and pursue deep, genuine life together. This value is reflected in our deep commitment to togetherness throughout the church, whatever your context may be. It is very easy to be alone and isolated in mid-size and laarger churches. To combat this, we provide small groups, broken down by stage of life. Find a Sunday school community to get connected to today.
More Opportunites
At Crabapple, we are striving to look past the latest Christian fads to the things that endure. Our Sunday evening and Wednesday evening discipleship seminars focus on general topics that all Christians should be deepening their knowledge of; things like theology, marriage, and apologetics. Our men's and women's ministries focus on issues unique to each gender and seek to provide opportunities for mentorship across generational lines. Our children's ministry aims to get to the heart of children, nurturing a love for Christ as the supreme treasure of their lives and for the Word of God at the earliest age. Our student ministry builds on this foundation, allowing youth to get hands on in missions and outreach and to explore the meaning of the Scriptures with depth.
With all of these ministries working to facilitate spiritual growth, we are also very mindful of the need for each family to be built up and to build itself spiritually. We provide a number of resources to help your family be the primary stage for Christian discipleship.

CINCINNATI, Ohio – The Cincinnati Cyclones announced that they have renewed their affiliation agreement with the Florida Panthers for the 2014-15 season. As they have in previous years, the Cyclones will serve as the ECHL affiliate for both the Panthers and Nashville Predators.
The Florida Panthers, who will open their 21st NHL season this October, will remain as the Cyclones parent club for the fifth consecutive campaign. The Panthers are led by Gerard Gallant and feature the 2014 first overall pick, Aaron Ekblad. A season ago, forward Garrett Wilson became the 13th Cyclones alum to make his NHL debut when he skated for the Panthers on March 18, 2014 against San Jose.
As it has been for the last three seasons, the San Antonio Rampage will be the American Hockey League affiliate for the Panthers. The Cyclones and Rampage were closely connected a year ago; 12 Cyclones players received call-ups at some point during the 2013-14 regular season and logged a combined 222 AHL games.
"We're very happy to be partnering again with Florida and San Antonio," said Cyclones Head Coach Matt Macdonald. "They have done an excellent job in providing us with quality players who strive to reach their goal of playing at the higher levels. We're proud to play a part in accelerating the development of Florida's young prospects."
"The Panthers are pleased to once again partner with the Cincinnati Cyclones," said Executive VP and General Manager Dale Tallon, "Cincinnati had a very successful season last year advancing to the Kelly Cup finals and it is important that our prospects develop in a winning and positive environment."

On December 12, 2013 I was about to embark on my best year ever. I didn't know it at the time.
All I knew is that I had an idea that would move me out of my comfort zone.
For years I'd talked about writing a book. Now was the time to stop talking and get it done.
Out Of The Comfort Zone
In my wildest dreams I didn't foresee that within two years the book would be published, sell almost 3,000 copies and win a Canadian national award.
Your dreams and mine may not be the same but achieving them will follow a shared path.
I couldn't shake the thought that the year would be great if I not only achieved my goal of writing a book, but did it with others who were mutually supportive.
What's your dream? Let me be the nudge to start you on your best year ever.
The Steps
The first step was to write down my goal.
Then, to hold myself accountable and invite others into the process, I shared my goal with a few people who expressed an interest in writing.
"One of my goals is to organize a group of aspiring writers in North Pointe Community Church. To be mutually supportive in seeing each of us write and publish our 1st print book or eBook by the end of the year. To record and share our journey to help other aspiring writers in their journey."
The Start
Nine days later five of us met at a Starbucks.
There was an energizing excitement about the possibilities and potential of such a group.
Each of us was a fledgling writer. We were equal parts aspiration and angst.
A group could provide support, encouragement and a level of accountability for our writing dreams.
The Committments
We committed to the following:
1. Read and apply the principles of Michael Hyatt's book Platform.
2. Start a blog or Facebook page to publish our writing.
3. Hold a writers group meeting once a month for the rest of the year.
4. Record and share our process weekly.
5. Publish an eBook or print book by the end of the year.
The Outcomes
So how did we do?
ALL of us accomplished the first four goals.
NONE of us achieved the last one. But some of us accomplished it in 2015.
What did transpire was the production of a lot of writing.
SOME of us were published for the first time in national magazines.
EACH of us wrote more than we have ever written before.
Meaningful Progress Is Success
One thing we gained was seeing quantifiable, meaningful progress.
Reflecting back on my personal growth is like watching infants learning to walk.
Clinging to fixed objects for support.
Wobbly first steps.
Lots of falls.
Then the joy of staying on your feet, unassisted for more than a few steps.
My Personal Writing Goals For 2017
2014 was my best year for a lot of things. 2015 and 2016 have followed suit.
For 2017 I've committed to the following:
1. To write everyday and post twice a week.
2. To build North Pointe's blogsite views to 10,000/month.
3. To enlarge my platform through Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin.
4. To be published in three national magazines.
5. To finish The Velveteen Pastor: A Journey To Becoming Real
Follow the pattern of written, smart goals, accountability, group support and make 2017 your best year ever!
The Writers Group
Over the years we've seen writers drop out of the group and a greater amount come into the group.
My associates inspire me with their aspirations.
Are you a writer? Why not join us. Thursday January 26th at 4:30pm is the next meeting at North Pointe.
Follow the group and see where their goals take them and YOU in 2017.

What was previously called the Publisher Code of Conduct is now the Code of Conduct and sets out both Publisher and Advertiser behavior.
I would really like to know if there have been any changes on the Publisher side. Anyone notice anything different?
I'm pleased to see Advertiser behavior addressed. Of course enforcement is really all that matters.
Why does CJ have to keep stuff like this secret? There should have been an announcement about this last week.

Gillette - the best a man can get. Sharper (first 2 blades vs MACH3) Turbocutting blades provide a closer shave without all the irritation (vs. Blue 2 Plus Disposable). They are treated with Advanced Anti-Friction Coating allowing the Mach3 Turbo to remove each hair with less irritation and more comfort. An enhanced lubricating strip and larger skin guard of the Gillette Mach3 Turbo razor blades helps deliver a shave with zero redness. Then, soft, protective Microfins gently smooth down the skin for even, effortless shaving. The Indicator Lubrication Strip ensures that your Mach3 Turbo razor keeps gliding across your skin, shave after shave and fades to white when shave is no longer optimal. The ergonomic Mach3 Turbo handle is heavier than Mach3 and designed to provide a secure grip and more control, even in wet conditions.
• The Gillette Mach3 Turbo razor blades have 3 blade technology with Advanced Anti-Friction Coating and are engineered for a closer shave without all the rritation vs. Gillette Mach3
• Flexible Comfort Guard with 10 Microfins that follow the contours of your face for a comfortably close shave
• Individually spring mounted blades help provide a closer shave without all the irritation (vs. Blue 2 Plus Disposable)
• Indicator Lubrication Strip helps with better glide and shows when the blade needs to be replaced
• Mach 3 Turbo gives you more comfort than a new Disposable even on the 10th shave (vs. Blue 2 Plus)
• All Mach3 razor blades fit on all Mach3 razors

Flushing Meadows Corona Park [11101 Corona Ave Flushing, NY 11355] is space of many lives. In the 1920s F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote of the park in The Great Gatsby, "This is a valley of ashes – a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque gardens." In preparation for the World's Fair from 1939-40, and then again in 1964-65 the land was cleaned up and transformed into a fair grounds under the order of Robert Moses. Now it is Queens largest recreational park and the fourth largest by acre in New York City.
You could spend a day, or many days here, there is so much to explore. There are still relics remaining from the world fair, including the New York State Pavilion and Observation towers,
and the ever recognizable Unisphere.
Many museums including the New York Hall of Science, Queens Museum of Art, and the Queens Zoo and Botanical Gardens. You can fish at Meadow Lake, barbeque, visit the skate park or six playgrounds, or play baseball, soccer, tennis, cricket, and volleyball. Try birding in a fountain pond,
or marveling at the many beautiful sculptures in the park.
If you visit in the right season the roses may be blossoming, stop to smell them.
The park is home to the US Open tennis ground and the New York Met's Citi Field. You will find seasonal bike/kayak rentals, the Queens International Night Market, Queen's Theater in the Park, and even a little carousel. From a colorful past to a hopeful future, the park holds a special place in the hearts of Queens residents and anyone from around the world who has had the pleasure of visiting.

The Wall Street stock trader were astonished when they passed at a five-metre bronze statue of a bull on there way to work on December 16, 1989. Also New York's Mayor and city administration wondering who had placed the three-ton work of art there. One of the most unusual and imaginative artists of our time was behind the action: the Sicilian-born Arturo Di Modica. This is the story of the statue, which became a symbol of Wall Street.

Aphasia Communication Clinic
Not Alone Aphasia Communication Group
Next: Friday, December 1, 2017
The Not Alone Aphasia Communication Group is open to all people with aphasia.
The group applies the Life Participation Approach to Aphasia (LPAA), which is a consumer driven service delivery approach that supports individuals with aphasia and those affected by it in achieving their immediate and longer term life goals (LPAA Project Group, 2001). This is a philosophy and model of service delivery, rather than a specific therapy approach. The emphasis of LPAA is to empower those with aphasia to re-engage in life participation and to be at the center of all decision making in their recovery process. Visit the "In the News" page to hear an interview with Dr. Tami Brancamp regarding aphasia and the Not Alone Aphasia Communication Group.
Fee: Currently, it is not a fee for service clinic

When Ira Fishman wins a prize in the machine outside a candy store, he's disappointed it's not the squirt gun he had his eye on. The little black plastic box looks like a camera, but when Ira presses the green button on top, nothing happens.
After dinner that night, Ira can't believe what he sees in his room: a boy with the same clothes - and face - as him! He tries to get this second Ira to leave, but it's no use. Deciding to have a little fun, Ira makes the boy go to school in his place - but it's a disaster. The new Ira isn't good at math like the real Ira, and he's horrible at softball. Worst of all, he plays with the girls during recess!
Ira's clone is ruining his rep - fast. And when a third Ira shows up, Ira number one has to find a way to make the others disappear for good before his whole world is turned upside down. But how do you get rid of yourself?

The doors at Cedar Shoals High School were shut and locked Friday afternoon, just as at the end of every week.
But during the past weekend, the school's halls weren't empty and silent. They crackled with the sparks of youthful creativity, intelligent discourse and saxophone music long into Sunday afternoon, as Cedar Shoals' Gentlemen on the Move, an academic/fraternal order of young African-American males, held their end-of-semester exam lock-in.
Gentlemen on the Move, currently comprising approximately 15 Cedar Shoals students, is the brainchild of Dr. Deryl Bailey, a professor of cross-cultural counseling at the University of Georgia.
Bailey says he began the program as a way to pass on his personal experiences of success after surviving the harsh, low-income neighborhood of his youth in Durham, N.C.
''I always knew that I had to do more than the next person,'' Bailey says, crediting his beloved grandmother Burnetha Holmes with giving him the spirit and will to persevere.
He passes that spirit and will on to his young charges now, and rarely settles for excuses.
''Using racism and oppression as an excuse (not to succeed) is one thing I will never let these guys do,'' Bailey noted.
Four-hour mandatory weekly meetings are dedicated to academic study and issue-discussions bent on shattering the stereotypes associated with the African-American male in today's society.
The Gentlemen strive for excellence in school, work, play and appearance, even dressing up in ties and slacks one day a week at school. In the words of 16-year-old amateur saxophonist and aspiring photographer Ben Stevens, the group is more of a family that seeks to ''(promote) a sense of pride and knowledge in the African-American community. We try to set an example.''
This past weekend, noses in books, they moved a little closer to that goal as they resigned themselves to rigorous study and little play.
The mandatory Gentlemen on the Move lock-in began at 4 p.m. Friday, as members began setting up sleeping quarters in a darkened foyer of the Cedar Shoals Drive high school. By the end of Sunday afternoon, they had spent nearly 12 hours studying in order to, in the words of Stevens ''focus on what (we) need to be doing.''
When not studying for their upcoming exams, the young Gentlemen took study breaks, ate meals provided by supportive parents and local businesses like Subway, and even attended a church service Sunday morning at Oconee Presbyterian.
Stevens and fellow student Stacy Smith used the downtime to practice their saxophones in a secluded stairwell.
Bailey, along with his wife Brad Bailey, a science teacher at Cedar Shoals, and BeeGee Moore, a teacher at Clarke Central High School, stayed with the boys over the weekend. Tutors from both high schools volunteered their time as well, dropping by to provide academic tutelage as the boys prepared for their tests.
Surprisingly, the Gentlemen say that spending the weekend in school is actually an enjoyable experience.
Garrett Winfrey, a bright-eyed 17-year-old who plans to do something in the medical field, notes that the group tends to make he and his peers mature a little quicker.
''There are stereotypes that we face,'' said Winfrey. ''People think that black guys are all just a bunch of thugs. But we're not all thugs. We're showing that.''
The guys all say they sometimes face ridicule from fellow students who don't understand the need to better themselves, but never enough to keep them from their annual lock-in, an experience punctuated by five-minute breaks every hour and taking turns at the shower.
''Mr. Bailey is dedicated,'' says 14-year-old Maurice Glenn. ''If he wasn't he wouldn't have called me (Friday) night at 11 p.m. to make sure I was coming.''
Bailey admits he has little tolerance for anything other than complete dedication.
''I want them to define success in their own terms,'' he said. ''But they have to move forward. They don't all have to succeed right away, but they do all have to make progress forward.''
For the guys, the group is both a means to better themselves and a way to connect with each other toward a common goal.
''I used to have an attitude and I didn't like school,'' said 17-year-old Ty Whitehead, who hopes to enroll in Clark Atlanta University or Florida A&M to study business marketing. ''I don't like school any more now (than I did), but at least now I understand the importance of it, you know? It's going to help me get where I need to be.''

The inquest has been formally opened on an 86 year old man who died less than two weeks after being assaulted by another patient at West Suffolk Hospital.
Suffolk Coroner Dr Peter Dean last Friday adjourned the inquest on Richard Bowman, of Lanwades Road, Exning, awaiting the completion of reports on his death at the hospital on the morning of December 8.
Dr Dean said a post mortem revealed Mr Bowman's cause of death was bronchial pneumonia and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Mr Bowman died 12 days after being assaulted with a bottle by another patient. In December Suffolk Police said his death was not being treated as suspicious, though they were investigating the alleged assault.

A collection of the best #TacoTrucksOnEveryCorner memes.
Marco Gutierrez, the Mexican-born co-founder of "Latinos For Trump," made an appearance on MSNBC last night to issue a stern warning to Americans everywhere.
According to Gutierrez, if immigration continues to go unchecked this country might experience a taco crisis of epic proportions.
"My culture is a very dominant culture. It is imposing and it's causing problems."
"If you don't do something about it, you're going to have taco trucks on every corner."
As if there's such a thing as too many tacos? Some would call this a dream scenario. Others might say one taco truck per corner simply isn't enough.
His outrageous line about having taco trucks on every corner naturally sparked a #TacoTrucksOnEveryCorner hashtag which resulted in over 100,000 tweets, some of which you can check out below.

- 230 g (4 oz) butter
- 230 g (4 oz) caster sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 230 g (4 oz) self-raising flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 4 shredded wheat biscuits
- 200 g chocolate (melted)
- Mini Eggs
Step 1:
Cream the butter and sugar together in a bowl (an electric whisk is normally the best way to do this). Do this until the mixture becomes paler and smooth.
Step 2:
Add the eggs one at a time and beat the mixture after each egg is added.
Step 3:
Carefully sieve in the flour and baking powder and fold them into the mixture.
Do not beat or whisk the mixture as you will knock out any air you have put into the cakes when beating the eggs.
Step 4:
Divide the mixture equally between paper cases. I usually start with 1 teaspoon in each and then half a teaspoon until they are all pretty even.
I like to use silicone cases to stand my paper cases in. I find that the cupcakes are less likely to slant and cook on an angle when they have something to support them.
Step 5:
Bake the cupcakes in a preheated oven at 190⁰C (170⁰C fan or Gas Mark 5) for 20-25 minutes.
Step 6:
When the cakes are baked they should be golden and springy to the touch, leave them to cool whilst making the nests.
Step 7:
To make the nests, melt the chocolate either over a saucepan or in the microwave, whichever you are more comfortable with.
Step 8:
Break up the shredded wheat biscuits into the melted chocolate and stir it in and make sure it's all well coated in the chocolate.
Step 9:
Take a heaped teaspoon of the chocolate/shredded wheat mixture and place it in the centre on top of each cupcake. Use the handle of another teaspoon (to prevent sticky fingers) to make a hole in the chocolate mixture to look like a nest.
Step 10:
Place 2 Mini Eggs in each nest.
They are a great idea for Easter and like I said, you can always just make the nests without the cupcakes. Just use the same method and spoon the nests into paper cases instead of on top of a cupcake.
If you're not a fan of Shredded Wheat, it works just as well with Cornflakes or even Coco Pops and Rice Krispies.
Please leave a comment and let me know if anyone tries this recipe.
Thanks for stopping by!

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Kimmel Housing Development Foundation, Great Neck, NY, USA
I have observed what the Kimmel foundation has done over the past many years with the various projects it has been involved in. The two buildings in Westbury New York (APEX I & APEX II) are a huge plus to the neighborhood but mostly to the senior citizens and workforce families they house. The solar project they are currently working on should be a great tribute to them as well as a huge savings for the tenants of both buildings
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Viewing both APEX I & APEX II
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Increase it's capability to do more in the affordable housing market.

Too short
Familiarity: I've used it several times
I've used this bag several times and it has treated me somewhat well... Unfortunately the long is still too snug and short and I'm only 5'5"! Pretty bummed because I cannot return it! Ive always liked mummy bags but this one pushes it. I pretty much sleep with it open which isn't ideal when it actually gets cold or windy.

For Joey + Rory, each new day is something worth celebrating. Now more than ever, the couple especially treasures the simple moments in life, especially those that involve their daughter, Indiana.
With her second birthday approaching on February 17, little Indy has been accomplishing many "big girl" tasks, like taking her first swimming lessons. Rory shared a photo of him with his baby girl at pool on her first day of swimming lessons, and the smiles on their faces say it all.
...Indy's first day of swimming lessonsPosted by Joey and Rory on Thursday, January 7, 2016
Now, Joey + Rory are celebrating another big moment for Indy. In another photo the couple shared to their Facebook page, Indy is shown standing in front of the bathroom sink while she brushes her teeth.
"...toof brushin' like a big girl," Joey +Rory captioned the photo. Indy really does look like she's brushing her teeth like a big girl would, with a true look of determination on her face.
...toof brushin' like a big girlPosted by Joey and Rory on Wednesday, January 20, 2016
For us, things like brushing our teeth or taking swimming lessons are just a small part of our daily lives. But for Joey + Rory, these little moments they share with their precious daughter Indy are true blessings.
Before Joey had cancer, and even before little Indy was born, Joey + Rory still had a great appreciation for the simple moments in life. They sang about their thankfulness for life's little moments in their 2010 song, "That's Important to Me," which you can listen to below.
Our prayers go out to Joey + Rory in hopes they can continue to enjoy more of life's little moments with their baby girl.

When you're a nerd, you're very passionate about the things you love. Whether it be comic books, movies, TV shows, games, or anything remotely classified as "geeky", us nerds can't wait to talk about it!
The best thing about being so passionate about a certain subject is getting the chance to meet and talk with others who are equally as passionate. That's why conventions are a thing! Comic Con is important for geeks all of kinds to go out and share their love for geekdom! The biggest nerdy convention in the United States is without a doubt San Diego Comic Con.
SDCC is a yearly event that takes place in the beautiful city of San Diego, and it's definitely a big deal. People from all over the globe travel to SDCC to experience it's many offerings, such as panels, incredible cosplay, and collectibles!
I've always dreamt of going to SDCC, and this year, my dreams finally came true! I attended San Diego Comic Con for the first time this year, and I had an absolute blast walking around the convention center for four days!
Now that the convention is over, and I've gotten some much needed rest, I thought I'd share my experience with everyone who hasn't yet made the trip to SDCC. Here's my unofficial first-timer survivor's guide for the biggest convention ever!
How To Survive (And What To Expect With) San Diego Comic Con!
1. Always Stay Hydrated!
This one sounds obvious, but it's a lot easier to forget than you'd think. A lot goes on at SDCC. There's panels, events, and many other things that you're going to want to focus on, so much so that you may forget to drink some water every once and a while.
It's extremely important to stay hydrated during SDCC for a number of reasons. One reason is that it's in the middle of summer, so heat is expected, even in a by-the-coast city like San Diego.
Another reason you want to be drinking water all day is you're going to be walking EVERYWHERE! Not just in the convention center, but around it too. Some panels and events take place outside of the convention center, and even though you won't have to walk too far, it can still be tiring having to go on foot everywhere all day long. Especially since it can take several minutes just to get walk a couple of feet, since there's so many people traveling all at once. Which brings me to my next topic.
2. Expect Some Serious Overcrowding!
SDCC isn't just the biggest convention on paper, its hugeness can be seen in the amount of people that occupy its halls. This is actually an issue I and a lot of other people have with San Diego Comic Con, it's seriously overcrowded. This is mainly because the convention sells a lot of tickets, possibly even more than it needs to.
Now, there's nothing wrong with giving thousands of people a chance to attend the event, but it gets to a point where it makes hard for most of those people to enjoy everything the con has to offer. But since this is the hand we're dealt with, we might as well all play it accordingly.
There's going to be a lot of people around you, so be aware of your surroundings, and remember to keep moving. Never stop in the middle of traffic, unless you want to get trampled by thousands of people heading the same way as you! If you need to stop, just try and maneuver yourself to a place where you can get out of people's way and stop safely.
3. Lines Are Loooooong!
This one is pretty self-explanatory. You know those stories about how long the lines are, and how impossible it is to get into the big halls like Hall H or Ballroom 20? Well, those stories aren't exaggerated, it's really that difficult!
When I went to SDCC, I saw people camping out in the Hall H line on a Thursday night for panels that wouldn't be happening until Saturday! SATURDAY! While the Hall H line was massive, the other lines weren't exactly small either. Unless you're willing to camp out or wake up super early, expect a bit of a line for that panel you're trying to get into.
4. Don't Try To Do Everything!
Look, SDCC is full of amazing things, I know. From panels featuring your favorite actors and comic book writers, to movie screenings and more, there's a lot to do at San Diego Comic Con. That being said, don't try and do it all.
The SDCC schedule is so large, that you can literally drive yourself mad trying to figure out how to plan your day, but it is VERY IMPORTANT to plan it! Some panels happen at the same time, so hard as it is, you're going to have to decide which one you want to go to.
You'll also have to watch out for panels that happen pretty close to each other. Don't make the same mistake I did, and try to attend two panels at opposite sides of the convention with five minutes in-between them, it just will not work out for you!
The line tip above also relates to this tip. Always take into account how long a line is. Speaking from experience, don't spend your first time at SDCC waiting for a very slim chance to get into Hall H, when you can go check out another incredibly awesome panel in another room.
5. There's Something For Everyone!
Worried that SDCC might not cater to your specific geekdom? Don't worry, there's literally something for everyone! Love comics? There are comic books and comic-related panels everywhere! Enjoy sci-fi? SDCC has got you covered! How about Sailor Moon? Indulge in your anime love all you want! Are you a Brony? Hey, I won't judge you, and neither will SDCC!
Even if all you want to do is play Magic: The Gathering for the entire convention, SDCC has plenty of game rooms and events so you can do just that!
6. Shop On Sunday!
Here's a little tip I learned from other Comic Con attendees; save your shopping for Sunday! The Exhibitors Hall at SDCC is full of exclusive goodies for you to get your hands on, but you may want to hold off on that.
Sunday is the last day of the convention, and because of this, it's the day all the discounts, freebies, and sales come out. Exhibitors are there to sell, and if they've still got stuff to sell on Sunday, sometimes they'll sell it for a cheaper price. This isn't always the case, but it's worth waiting 'til Sunday to find out.
The only reason you wouldn't want to wait until Sunday is if there's a really awesome SDCC exclusive that may not be available by then. I'm still kicking myself for not getting that sweet, sweet Conan the Joker Funko doll the first chance I got!
So those are my tips on how to survive San Diego Comic Con, as well as what to expect from it! All in all, my first time at Comic Con wasn't bad, but I'm certain to have a much better experience next time around if I follow these tips, and so will you!
Thanks For Reading! What Are Some SDCC Tips You Have? And What's Your Favorite SDCC Memory?

flipin it over...scary!!
Guys, I'm new here, but have been working on this 17' CC sportsman for a year.
It was stored in a storage garage near the California delta and was found on craigslist.
I bought the boat for $1900.00 and started right away... first challenge was to flip it over.
With the help of some friends I managed to get flipped with no problems.
I began ripping the old bottom off to see what I was in store for.
Three cracked frames needed replacing as well as the inner ply and all the bottom planking.
I now have the bottom re-planked and getting ready to prime and paint the bottom.
The boat came from the factory with a 283 chevy V8.
Take a peek at a condensed version of the last year at the shop...

US Gurdwara holds 1st Sunday service since attack
Members of the Sikh community prayed for the six worshippers who were killed in the shootout inside the Gurdwara last Sunday.
Oak Creek: More than 100 people gathered at the Gurdwara, which saw the killing of six Sikhs by a white supremacist, for the first Sunday service since the tragedy as members chanted hymns and prayers for the victims.
Members of the Sikh community prayed for the six worshippers who were killed in the shootout inside the Gurdwara last Sunday.
They also prayed for the quick recovery of the three individuals who were injured in the tragic incident including the police officer who fought the neo-Nazi gunman.
Wade Michael Page, 40, an ex-Army veteran, went on a shooting spree killing six Sikhs and injuring three others, including a police officer, at the Gurdwara here last Sunday before dying of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Those attending the Sunday service said the ceremony yesterday involved cleaning up the pole which had a flag on top.
The flag was to be raised from half mast back to full mast.
Sunday`s service included devotional hymns and prayers and the closing of the Sikh holy book.
The holy book has been read in its entirety over the past three days.
Women sang hymns as a group lowered a flag pole outside the Gurdwara here.
The pole which was covered with orange cloth was first removed by about 50 men and boys. Thereafter the pole was washed with water and milk.
The pole was finally wrapped with a new orange cloth.
The Gurdwara was opened for the public on Friday, six days after the deadly shooting with over 100 community members returning to clean it ahead of the funeral for the victims.
Members on Friday had decided that a lone bullet hole in a metal door frame at the Gurdwara, where the six Sikhs were gunned down by the neo-nazi man, will remain there as a poignant reminder of the tragedy.
Hundreds of mourners had gathered on Friday inside the Oak Creek High School gymnasium for the funeral and memorial service of the victims. Sikh community members gathered at the Gurdwara for religious services "to commemorate the lives lost and come together in unity for a future of peace and understanding".
Speeches were made at the service from representatives of the victims` families, the Gurdwara and others.
A luncheon following the Sikh tradition took place at the ceremony.
Froedtert Hospital officials on Friday had announced that the condition of one of three individuals critically wounded in the shooting was upgraded.
Santokh Singh`s condition was upgraded to "satisfactory".
50-year-old Santokh Singh suffered a single gunshot wound that penetrated his chest, diaphragm, stomach and liver. All of his injuries were repaired in two surgeries and he was recovering well.
Oak Creek Police Lt Brian Murphy was also in "satisfactory condition".
Murphy was among the first to the scene, and was reportedly ambushed by the shooter, while providing aid to a victim in the temple`s parking lot.
Lt Murphy was shot nine times.
He was initially in Froedtert`s ICU in critical condition, and underwent surgeries.
According to the hospital`s website, 65-year-old Punjab Singh suffered a single gunshot wound to the face that caused facial fractures and damage to his right carotid and vertebral artery.
There is evidence he also may have subsequently suffered a stroke.
He was still in need of mechanical support to breathe and remained in "critical" condition.
Investigators have been working on the case and probing leads on the gunman throughout the week, recovering hundreds of pieces of evidence from his home and Gurdwara, but have said they fear that they may never know for certain what prompted the attack on the temple.

May's here! A mix of 'winter's morn' vintage grey and cream delphiniums, 'raspberry fool' delphiniums and 'cerise' hot pink rose petals. Top of the list for pink and silver weddings! Don't forget to add glitter if you really want it to sparkle (picture shown has the added glitter!)

Half-marathon makeup
She didn't finish her run on the 50-yard line of Memorial Stadium.
She didn't get an official Illinois Half-Marathon finisher's medal.
But Mariah Burt couldn't be more proud of the half-marathon run she did through Champaign and Urbana last weekend.
Yes, last weekend. A week after the Illinois Marathon races.
Burt wasn't able to run the Illinois Half-Marathon after becoming ill the day before the race. She was determined to run the distance, though.
So she measured out a 13.1-mile course, combining her 10-mile training route with portions of the Illinois Half-Marathon course. And she ran it a week after the official race, with the support of her husband, who provided her water, Gatorade and granola bars every three miles, and her running partner, who ran the last mile with her.
"I had to finish what I set out to accomplish," Burt said. "It wasn't a question of whether or not I would run the half-marathon. It was when I would run the half-marathon. I'm not a quitter at all. I had trained so hard for it."
Burt had never been a runner before last year, when she moved here from Chicago to take her first teaching job, as music teacher at Carrie Busey Elementary School.
To combat the stress of adapting to a new place and a new job, she joined a gym. Then she got involved in a challenge at Carrie Busey to see which teachers could adopt the healthiest lifestyle by Spring Break.
She began running in November. At first, she couldn't run more than two blocks without stopping to walk. But she worked up to running 2 1/2 to 3 miles by January. And she and her running partner, Noelle Stinson, a first-grade teacher at Carrie Busey, began training for the half-marathon.
"I'd never done anything like that before," Burt said. "At first I hated it. It was so difficult for me."
The cold weather aggravated her asthma. But within a month, she loved the training.
She and Stinson planned to run the half-marathon together. (They won the school's healthy lifestyle challenge, by the way.)
On the day before the marathon, Burt tried a new place for lunch. She thinks she got food poisoning, because she felt fine until 3 p.m., when it hit her. She vomited every half hour throughout the night. By morning, she hadn't slept and was so dehydrated, she could barely stand up.
"I wanted to run it so badly. It was so disappointing," Burt said. "The thing that was even more disappointing was I felt I was letting my running partner down. We had been morally supporting each other. I felt really bad she had to run by herself."
She planned right away to run her half-marathon anyway. She thought about taking a half day off and doing it the following Monday, but she was worried she might feel too bad to come in to work later, and she wanted her husband to be there to support her.
So she decided on last Saturday, May 8. The day was much cooler and less humid than race day had been. But it was very windy. Friends urged her to reschedule, but she didn't want to wait anymore.
"I was really pumped to do it, but it was really hard to run by myself," she said.
Burt carried her bib number for the Illinois Half-Marathon with her in a fanny pack, and while she was running, she imagined crowds of people lining the streets, cheering her on.
Her husband served as her water station, and Stinson met her for her last mile.
Burt was overjoyed to complete her run.
"It was one of the hardest things I've done, but it was a really positive experience," she said.
Part of the reason was the support she got, particularly from her colleagues at Carrie Busey, including Stinson and PE teacher Wendy Starwalt.
Starwalt had some of her students make a medal for Burt, with the date, the distance she ran, and the weather conditions on it. Starwalt also gave Burt a necklace of plastic feet she uses for her PE students, to mark how many miles they've run.
Burt had three goals for her half-marathon: to finish it, to run it all, and to run 12-minute miles. She did the first two, and she averaged 14-minutes miles on her run last weekend.
Although it took her longer than she'd hoped, "I wasn't disappointed. I finished it and I ran it, and those are two big accomplishments," she said.
She's planning on running another half-marathon.
"It's become something I really love," Burt said of running, "and I'm going to do it for the rest of my life now."

Here's a new forum dedicated to beekeeping!
Thank you Terry, I have been interested getting started in this endevour for some time now. Dyson
I'm intrigued with bees and all they do. I don't want to raise them but sure love to here from those who do. I like to here about splitting the hives creating new ones. I have a friend who has hives and gathers honey.
I love bees. I'll enjoy reading everyone's posts because I don't have any hives either. Just an interest.
Well, I can tell a Bee story. Last year my husband and I hived 2 colonies. We spent a lot of time getting everything just right. It was really fun working with them-they were quite gentle bees, and their behavior was predictable. We got them in May, and in July we got just a taste of honey. But then a bear came and tore up one of the hives. We saved a lot of the bees and put the hive back together. Then we put a up a makeshift noise barrier to startle the bear. The barrier was cute in a rustic sort of way, but it didn't bother the bear. He came back two more times; we tried salvaging the colonies, but after the third assault what was left of them swarmed.
We are trying again this year. Three colonies to arrive in May. Wish us luck!
Good luck. Bet Mr. bear has a good memory tho. Bee careful! :)
With Urban sprawl, the bears are too familiar to human tricks and sounds, even shotguns, to be scared. They are NOT looking for honey, like Winnie the Pooh. They are after a Protein snack, your young larve and pupa comb. They know when the time is right by the odor coming from the hives.
The only way to deter the bears is with electricity, and I don't mean the sissy cattle kind. High tensil wire on concreted posts from ground to 6 feet; every 6 inches with every other strand barbed wire, lit up with house current. They will climb a low fence with low current. Beekeeping is serious business. The cost of equipment and proper medication can break you. You don't want wildlife taking you to the poor house. Doc

I hadn't found any info on KK on this board, so even though this this is not a foodie destination, I thought I'd post about it anyway. I was mainly passing through for a day, but was able to sniff out some good food during that time.
First, I was lucky enough to be visiting during Ramadhan, so the Ramadhan night market yielded a plethora of good street food. Open 2pm-7pm during Ramadhan, located a few blocks inland from Warisan Square. There was a wide selection of Malaysian food, including mee goreng, popiah, grilled stingray, sugar filled glutinous rice balls, nasi campur, nasi kerabu (my favorite), and all kinds of cakes. If you happen to be visiting during the other 11 months of the year, I heard the Philippino night market has good street food. I skipped it because I was headed to Manila the next day.
Second there is a wet market near the water, close to where the boats are all docked. There is a separate seafood section in the back (closest to the water) and I also found fruits, vegetables, spices, and other dried goods in the front (closest to the street). In particular, there are a number of places to get dried shrimp or dried fish. The second floor of the wet market houses about a dozen food stalls, where you can get a good inexpensive meal.

Lorde on Springsteen Covering 'Royals:' 'It's Crazy, I Got Teary'
New Zealand pop sensation was (obviously) surprised by the fact.
Pop sensation Lorde has responded to Bruce Springsteen's cover of her signature song "Royals." As the singer notes (via News.com.au), she considers the Boss's cover the highest honour:
"My Twitter went mental, everyone in New Zealand was like 'You can't believe what just happened!' It was so exciting, it was the highest honour. He's such an incredible songwriter. I got a little teary. It was very cool.
"It's crazy when someone like that is covering your song. Those words were nothing before I put them into my laptop and started messing around with them in the studio. It's crazy to me they could come out of someone's mouth who is that respected."
Springsteen opened his Auckland concert last week with a gruff, acoustic rendition of the track. It is the latest in a series of covers of local artists that the Boss has performed on his Australasian tour. Previously, he has performed songs by AC/DC, the Bee Gees and INXS.

"FLOCCULENT CRAW" by Miss Monster Available to Pre-order from Dec 18th
UPDATED: "FLOCCULENT CRAW" has been listed for pre-orders, with the BLANK priced at US$48, while a OOAK fully painted is priced at US$120! Standing 4.5" inches tall, these look marvelous!
"Flocculent Craws are a strange bunch. Their wooly look is made up of not quite fur but not really what you'd call feathers. They are lazy critters with a cat-like personality and spend most of their time fluffed, napping on one leg. Craws can be taught to say a few words in their gravelly voice but they tend to pick up naughty language and will belt out swear words at very inconvenient times. I do not know how they can tell a "bad" word from any other- but they know. Craws are great pals and office companions- ( they do bite when surprised so keep that in mind) "
ORIGINAL POST: Fresh off the glory of HAWGMAW ("glory" to me!) comes yet another NEW critter, currently in sculpting stage, with the result to be unveiled for pre-orders on Dec 18th @ 3pm central USA time via www.missmonster.myshopify.com! Further product deets to be updated when revealed…
"Finally got my sculpting head back on straight. This little jerk has fought me the entire way. Still a ways to go on him. I'm blaming @coelasquid 's fluffy pigeons/velociraptors for the fluffiness inspiration…" - shared Melita Curphy AKA Miss Monster

What is the difference between success and failure in weight loss?
There are of course lots of factors. Choosing the right way of losing weight is important: a safe, realistic and effective programme. And getting support from the right people.
But one of the biggest obstacles to losing weight relates to mindset. In my experience, anyone who tries to lose weight has to contend with the "bad week".
Many people, when they try and lose weight aim for perfection. They have a strict diet regime that they have to stick to. If they stray away from it, then it's considered a "bad" week.
When I see clients at Harley Street, I am very clear on the fact that when it comes to weight loss, I believe in progress not perfection.
But even then, occasionally, my clients will have a difficult week, mostly related to external circumstances which means that their eating goes out the window and they end up eating much more than usual.
What is the usual response to this? With most people, a bad week on a diet usually results in giving up. The belief here is that, since the person couldn't maintain the perfect eating plan, they might as well give up. This is called "all or nothing" thinking and is the hallmark of the failed weight loss programme.
The people who succeed in losing weight, have a different attitude. They realise that bad weeks are a part of life. And they deal with them.
Let me give you an example. I had one client who had already lost about 1/2 stone (about 7 pounds or 3 kg) working with me. And then she had a particularly bad week. She ate much more than she usually would due to a combination of travel and business dinners. Now, I am pretty sure that if this client had not had the benefit of someone to support her during this week (i.e. me), then this one bad week would usually have derailed her weight loss efforts, as it does with most people. Her progress in losing 1/2 stone would have been thrown away. She would have thought "what's the point? I can't stick to this" and then responded to this with over-eating even further.
Instead, because she had support, she was able to maintain her perspective. She realised that one bad week wasn't the end of the world. She knew that she wanted to develop habits that lasted the rest of her life. And she accepted that in a regular busy life, bad weeks will happen and she needed to have better ways of dealing with them. The bad week was a spur to keep going, not to give up.
And happily that client continued to lose more weight after that, so far reaching 1 stone of weight loss, and still going strong.
And so this is the difference between success and failure in weight loss. Failures means giving up after the first bad week. Success means keeping on going.
