Don't Let Me GoJack Frost X Reader"Jack, wake up! It's starting!"Lying down on the snowy ground, the winter spirit lazily obeyed the all-too familiar voice by opening his eyes, only to meet with a stunning sight.To start off, Jack never really cared for the night sky. He doesn't care about the stars, the cosmos, the numerous galaxies and the vast universe. What mattered to him was his snow days, the other Guardians (yes, even Easter Kangaroo), his friends, his past and Man in the Moon. He didn't pay much attention to anything else. Those were his only priorities for the last 300 years.But then he saw this spectacular view.A meteor shower.Normally, he wouldn't care for this either. He thought in the past that those were just falling stars and nothing more. He was used to the sight of it, even if it rarely happened.But this time, it felt... different.Now that he was actually paying attention, the meteor shower looked amazing. Nothing else could come to compare (except for snow, of course). He w
Make a Wish - Pt. 1 (Jack Frost x Reader)He was standing at the foot of the bed.His ice blue eyes remained on the form beneath the sheets.His arms were crossed, while his face was nearly blank of emotion.His mind, on the other hand, was deep in thought.There was something that was not being said.He had a grasp of the obvious, but felt there was more to know.He became mildly irritated.It was like before, trying to remember the memories he had forgotten.He played the conference with North over again in his head in an attempt to figure things out."You want me to what?" He asked incredulously."Is it not clear by the letter already?" North asked, one of his eyebrows raised."Well..I understand the request just fine. But why do you want me to go

Snowflakes (Jack Frost x Reader)There were days where Jack followed humans around.Sometimes, it was because he was curious.Sometimes, it was because of his guardian duties.This time, it was for a reason he could not fully grasp.He thought about asking the others about it, but decided against it.He was afraid they would not understand.So, he pondered what it could be on his own.He was definitely curious.It was not, however, part of his duties to watch this human.After all, this person was not a child.Standing on a rooftop, gripping his staff, he smiled to himself."Wind, you know where to take me."The wind came and within moments, he flew.He turned in the air, creating snowballs for the children below.He laughed as he witnessed snow fights, and even participated in them a little.Though, as he neared his true destination, he flew slower.He sat on the same tree branch that he always sat on when he came here.His expression became less mischievous as he waited in his spot.Then, after a minute or tw

Frostbite: Chapter 1 (Jack Frost X Reader)Frostbite: Chapter 1----------------------------*read as if you wrote it*----------------------------I was walking in the park near my house, where I often go to clear my mind. This side of the park was woody and deserted. The sun was setting in the distance, casting an eerie glow through the trees and across the snowy landscape.I hummed one of my favorite winter songs as I trudged through the snow. Apparently I was the first person to come down this trail since the last snowfall. Feeling safe and alone, I began to sing the cheery tune out loud."Jack Frost was in the gardenI saw him there at dawn"The wind picked up, sending a shiver down my spine. It almost seemed like the trees were listening, leaning in. The woods had gone silent. I smiled and continued, emphasizing every syllable."A' dancing round the bushesAnd prancing on the….

Jack FrostXReader~Part One There you sat on your bed, browsing the internet with that empty look you almost always wore this time of year. It was Christmas break of course, time for cookies, lights and laughter. However, you found the break quite boring. You liked to keep yourself busy, and being snowed in nearly every year with nothing to do wasn't your idea of fun. Your little sister on the other hand, loved the large amounts of snow. It was always falling this time of year, but she would always come and knock on your door yelling in that high-pitched voice of hers about the weather. She claimed that a boy named Jack Frost made it snow, and even went so far as to say she'd met him before. When she tried to tell you about her "adventures" with him, you would simply tell her to grow up. Imagination was good and all, but enough is enough. Just as your sister left your mind to be replaced with other thoughts of the holiday season, her familiar knock came on your door. "(your name)! It's snowing again!
Frosted Kiss (Jack Frost X Reader)Winter.Just the name of the season gave you chills.Why? Because unlike the people of the world around you, so ignorant to the beauty of this season, you recognize the magnificence of what only happens for a few precious months each year. It is the time that you hold in your heart, close to your soul. And when hotter months come, your heart yearns for the beautiful coldness, and the feeling that enters your heart can only be described through snow, frosted windowpanes, and crystal clear ice.The snowflakes, so different from the spoiled, ruined blackness of the world around, fall down covering the hills with a beautiful blanket of pure white snow. The windowpanes became drawing boards for frosted patterns, each unique and unlike any other that will or has been created. The flowers in winter they say, created out of frost, bloom in abundance everywhere you look.The winter breeze blows with a frozen delight, its crisp coldness returning a small piece of your soul back to you.

Life With Jack Frost: Chapter 1Life With Jack FrostChapter 1Night falls and it's already winter. Wherever you look, all you can see is snow. Plants and trees are covered with frosts and snow. Roads and pathways are covered with snowdrifts and the roads became slippery.You're walking while listening to your favorite music and you saw a bench nearby and decided to rest for a bit and enjoy the white, clean and bright view outdoors. You closed your eyes when the frigid cold wind ran to your face. You shook your head making your hair wiggle.While picking a piece of paper and pencil from your bag, a gale wind stroked and your paper flew away. You followed it and didn't care even though you're jeans soaked when you strove through the banks of snow.Suddenly, you tripped on to something and you knelt on the frigid white snow. You looked back and saw a long stick with a peculiar curve in the end got your foot. Groaning, you picked it up and threw it angrily away from you.Instantaneously, you saw someone's two pale bare

"That's what you always say whenever we're up here. You always think the stars are pretty.""Exactly." You let out a small laugh as you prop yourself up beside the silver-haired boy, careful not to fall. "There's nothing wrong with that. I like stars, and it's actually a pretty good conversation starter.""Really?""Well, we would've just laid down here the whole night with nothing to say if I never let it out.""... Oh, good point." Jack runs a hand through his disheveled locks before he chuckles uneasily with his smile still showing.

LONDON--Some insurers are too big to fail and regulators need a simple global regime to ensure firms have sufficient capital, a senior Bank of England official said Tuesday.
Andrew Bailey, one of three BOE deputy governors and the head of the central bank's Prudential Regulation Authority, which supervises banks and insurers, said in a speech that the failure of some big insurers could have "far-reaching consequences" not just for policyholders but for the financial system and the wider economy.
"We strongly believe that failure of some insurers could have the potential to pose risks to the stability of the financial system or to directly disrupt economic activity through the availability of risk transfer," Mr. Bailey said, according to a text of a speech delivered to the Association of British Insurers.
Regulators usually worry about banks that are too big to fail, a term applied to firms that are so large and intricately-connected to other parts of the financial system that governments would be forced to bail them out if they got in trouble or risk economic havoc.
Mr. Bailey's remarks underscore how regulators are also trying to spot potential risks outside the banking system. U.S. regulators have already designated insurers American International Group Inc. (AIG) and Prudential Financial Inc. (PRU) as "systemically important" and subject to greater oversight, although Prudential is contesting the label.
The Financial Stability Board, the regulatory taskforce of the Group of 20 leading economies, is currently drawing up a list of insurance firms deemed important to the global financial system.
Mr. Bailey said regulators are also working to come up with a simple global capital standard for insurers that can act "a backstop" to insurers' own assessments of their capital needs. Such a regime is "critical" and could ultimately help simplify complex capital rules, Mr. Bailey said.
Regulators in the U.K. and elsewhere have voiced similar concerns over banks' use of internal models to calculate their capital requirements and are placing an increasing emphasis on simpler gauges of leverage, that firms' overall borrowing relative to their assets.
"We have learned the hard way with banks that excessive reliance on modeled capital requirements lends itself to cutting capital levels too low," Mr. Bailey said.
"In banking supervision we are playing catch-up by working to raise capital levels from ones that were too low. We can avoid that outcome for insurance by acting now to introduce sensible backstops."

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

At the height of the fire, four aerial master streams, three portable monitors, three deck guns and two 2½-inch handlines were in operation. It was estimated that 7,500 gallons of water per minute was being applied to the fire.
Loeb declared the fire under control at 3:56 A.M. on Thursday, Feb. 25. All mutual aid departments were released by 7 A.M. The last Dunkirk engine left the scene at 5 P.M. on Sunday, Feb. 28, nearly 96 hours after the initial alarm. A watch line was left in place on a hydrant and was used intermittently until 11:25 A.M. on March 2.
More than 150 career and volunteer firefighters operated 16 engines, four aerials and four rescues at the scene. Nine hydrants on the municipal water system and two drafting relays from Lake Erie supplied over 3.7 million gallons of water for firefighting operations. Two firefighters suffered minor injuries. No civilians were injured. At the time of the fire, the temperature was 33 degrees and dropped to 24 degrees with light winds that night. During the rest of the incident, temperatures ranged from 21 to 37 degrees with winds up to 14 mph. Two feet of snow fell during the incident.
The Chautauqua County Fire Investigation Team conducted a five-day investigation into the origin and cause of the fire. It was determined that the fire was caused by an electrical short at the main service disconnect in the basement below Chautauqua Works, on the C side wall near the C/D corner. The building and its contents were destroyed, except for a few historical items recovered from the Masonic Temple.
- Successes — Thirty-two children and four adults evacuated the building without injury. Firefighters were able to search most of the fire building and all of the D exposures before interior operations were abandoned. The D exposure sustained water and smoke damage. Cooperation between all mutual aid fire departments was very good.
- Problems — Dunkirk firefighters were faced with several problems throughout the incident. The building did not have a lock box. This delayed initial entry into the building. Initial manpower staffing was not adequate for the deep-seated fire and the size of the building. Most firefighters had a lack of experience in fighting a fire in this size commercial building.
The municipal water system could not supply the necessary water flow after requirements passed 6,000 gpm and some of the distant mutual aid companies did not have the proper adapters necessary for Dunkirk hydrants.
Command was overwhelmed with the number of individuals trying to report there. Communications were difficult during the incident due to heavy radio usage. Fuel suppliers for apparatus took too long to get to the scene once requested. Rapid ice buildup created hazardous conditions for firefighters.

Litigator of the Week: Casey GoolsbyBy Miriam Rozen |
Plaintiff prevails on summary judgment, arguing under Texas Labor Code that the employer must make sure a worker understands the effect of a waiver when signing it.
Plaintiff prevails on summary judgment, arguing under Texas Labor Code that the employer must make sure a worker understands the effect of a waiver when signing it.
When a Dallas federal judge ruled on Aug. 15 for a plaintiff in a voting rights case, Jesse Okiror could mark a new—and first—notch on his litigation belt.
"The linchpin to this litigation was a contract" between his client and the home entertainment system contractor that called for the winner of any litigated disputes to receive attorney fees, said Jett Williams, a partner in the Henke Law Firm in Houston.
"It's about just a little bit of money on a kilowatt-by-hour basis, but a whole lot of money when you add it all up," said Schwartz, who is of counsel in the Austin office of Locke Lord.
"It's a great win for the officer. He was so inappropriately vilified in the mainstream media," said Bill Helfand, who represented the city of La Porte and police officer Matthew Davidson.
Next time Brad Dowell defends a corporate client against a former employee's retaliation lawsuit, the Cantey Hanger partner knows what his strategy will be from the outset.
How did the lawyers persuade the jury that their client, "a family business with primary owners"—good witnesses "who came across as extremely genuine"—deserved that hefty damage award?
In a March 24 answer, the defendants denied the allegations and stated as an affirmative defense that Switzer's claims were barred because the potential harm posed was "open and obvious."
Bejeweled grizzly bear tooth at stake in lawsuit that netted fee award.
The lawyer said he locked in the victory by "recognizing—immediately—our shortcomings" when before the jury.
His clients' story was featured in the documentary "Gasland 2," said Bradford Gilde.
Tim Goss' client won a $1.2 million judgment in a product liability case against Johnson & Johnson Inc. and Ethicon Inc.
On behalf of his energy industry clients, William Dawson will seek attorney fees from the Sierra Club. That outcome would add to the victory Dawson, a partner in Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher in Dallas, won after a three-day bench trial.
Hart succeeded by avoiding the mistake of singling out a driver but rather focusing on the corporate defendants.
Mike Lynn's clients won a $319 million jury verdict on March 4 in the 289th District Court in Dallas, in part thanks to Lynn's use of a teeter-totter trial graphic.
Not only did David Hodges win a $1.61 million jury award for his client in a medical-malpractice case, he also discovered the potential boon provided by a judge's individual questioning of prospective jurors.
When a company terminates its HR director the day she returns from FMLA leave, chances are good that a lawsuit will ensue. The roughly $120,000 that G. Scott Fiddler's client won may not break any records, but he relishes the victory.
K.B. Battaglini won nearly $800,000 in damages and $660,000 in attorney fees in the 270th District Court in Harris County. Battaglini believes that both his lean staffing and his strategy of focusing only on "the essential points" of a complex oil-patch suit helped him overcome any obstacles.
Chastiti Horne successfully defended a company that owns the independent-living facility where an octogenarian woman had been a theft victim.

Sample Report
Kennedy 23 third state (of five) – this impression mentioned; Glasgow third state (of 5) – this impression mentioned.
Printed in dark brownish/black on a cream laid paper; watermark: letters LVG pendant to a coat of arms (probably with Strasbourg lily)
Together with an impression of Kennedy's fifth (and final) state; Watermark: Three balls with peak of a foolscap (?)
In the first four states of Rag Pickers only shading and detailed changes are made to the print; in the fifth state a radical change is introduced: two figures are added, a girl sitting up in bed and a boy standing near her. Lochnan suggested that Rag Pickers, Quartier Mouffetard, Paris was etched on Whistler's return from the Rhineland in 1858, that is, after 7 October, and that the figures were added when Ralph Thomas Sr. (1803-1862), was encouraging Whistler to print his etchings in preparation for his first show of etchings in London (cf Glasgow). Most impressions known are of the final state; impressions of the third or earlier states are relatively rare. The final state was probably printed in 1861, although many impressions of the final state may be later.
This was etched in Paris, in the Mouffetard district of the Latin Quarter. The composition is of course related to his other doorway or interior etchings such as La Vielle aux Loques, La Marchande de Moutarde, and The Kitchen, and, as Lochnan has pointed out, relates to a tradition in Dutch art of compositions framed by doorways, and later paintings by Francois Bonvin (1817-1887), Charles Jacque (1813-1894), and Jean Baptiste Millet (1831-1906).

Sectoral EU-trading and other Climate Policy Options: Impacts on the Swedish Economy
AbstractA recent Government bill suggests a sharpening of Sweden's climate policy goals. Most importantly, Sweden's Kyoto-commitment of emitting +4% carbon relative to the 1990 level has been revised. The new target translates into a reduction of carbon emissions by -4% relative to 1990. The policy package supporting the new target includes various subsidies and tax-swaps, but precludes the use of flexible mechanisms such as multilateral emission permit markets. A partial system for CO2 emission trading in selected energy sectors among member states is being developed by the EU-commission and is scheduled to be launched by 2005. This paper analyzes the effects on the Swedish economy of using different climate policy options, including an analysis of the "price tag" of abstaining from entering the EU-market. Our Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model indicates that a strictly domestic emission target, such as the one proposed in the government bill, is likely to be substantially more costly than by reaching the same aggregate CO2 target through the use of international permit trading. Emission trading is, however, not necessarily welfare enhancing if a partial system is used. Because the EU-proposal effectively covers only about 30% of Swedish carbon emissions, some potential efficiency gains are unavailable. We find that there are different "winners" and "losers" at the sector level, depending on which policy option is used. Because other countries have an incentive to "use" the emissions that Sweden now voluntarily abstains from, the climate policy proposals in the 2002 Government Bill may, after all, not reduce carbon emissions in Europe. We conclude that Sweden should actively take part in international discussions regarding multilateral climate agreements, and should promote proposals that have a broad coverage.

Okay, just so you know. I overslept my jogging appointment with Dave this morning, but I went anyway. Yay for me! I ran at the speed of Chloe (my friend's dog I'm babysitting), which is to say, she never broke into a trot, but I gasped and stumbled behind her. And it was good.
Last night I went to book group and, as usual, it felt as holy and wonderful as one of my recovery meetings, even though none of these friends are in recovery. Well, at least not from alcohol. We're all trying to recover from that tug toward something or other, aren't we? We're all human and we're all hungry and thirsty, which is I'm sure why the New Testament ends on those glorious words, "The Spirit and the bride say, 'Come!' And let the one who hears say, 'Come!' Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life."
Scandalously inclusive, don't you think? :) If you're thirsty or hungry, come. In fact, this is our church's statement of purpose we say aloud together almost every Sunday, "With God we will set the table for all who hunger and thirst." Isn't that beautiful?
It reminds me of how when I was a kid setting the table was such a huge chore, even though it involved little more than slapping some plates and sliver ware down in any random place.
Last night the issue of weight and dieting came up at the end of book group, too. Isn't it amazing how hard it can be just to not eat a Trader Joe's cookie? How can our will power be so weak? But it is, I'm afraid. And it kind of always will be, I'm afraid. And recovery is all about admitting this and getting over the idea that someday it will change–and letting that weakness be okay and draw us toward God's table…
I was thinking on my jog about my readings this morning and how the truth is that I am powerless even to love myself. How can I love myself when it's my ego that is always standing out front and waving for attention? I'm supposed to love even that?
Yep. I try and fail, irritation and annoyance almost always winning out. Maybe the truth is that what is really needed is not me loving me but more allowing God to love me through my Soul which is already utterly convinced that I'm infinitely precious and so it's really a matter of getting in touch with that part of me that deeply knows the truth.
My Hafiz poem for today was wonderful and it fits with some of what I'm saying:
"If you don't watch out I just might say something
you will never forget. Then what will you do?
Those words might organize a gang inside your
mind who undertake a strategic plot, or just bully
you to make some changes in your life you have
wanted to make but could not, on your own.
A time-release capsule, my touch and sounds,
with secret instructions hidden within that can
slowly seep into the cracks your heartaches cause.
All of a sudden you might find yourself cleaning
your room more, helping old people across the
street, or giving your money away. Yes, I am
A garden could rise in barren places in you if our
eyes met…"
Yes, a garden could rise in those dry barren places in me if I was willing to meet God's eyes and see him seeing me, and if I knew the stream was right here inside of me, where Jesus told us it was to begin with. And if a garden sprang up there, think about it. How much easier it would be to help hungry, thirsty people, much less set the table for everyone.
P.S. As you probably guessed, I'm being faithful to my hope of posting more of what I write in Raw here instead.

I keep trying to come up with the right words to say goodbye to Orlando and I keep coming up short because it's so hard to figure out where to start.
Girl you and me both!!! I've never gotten my hair cut down here and agreed with the price of the cut. So I am at a loss too!
Man I feel really bad for the Tumblr Staff because I bet they aimed for Tumblr to be a cool, suavé, photographic place for artists but in reality it's made up of hormonal teenagers who obsess over gay fictional characters, and can't even handle the reblog button turning green to teal
I don't get why people are so crazy about Aurora being moved outside. I'm not into this whole Frozen craze, but with the awful waits they are having it's kind of necessary for them to be where they are. That being said, with Aurora outside, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR HALF A DAY TO MEET HER! So, I don't get it. She's much more accessible now. Yes, she belongs in there, but maybe the Frozen girls will either a) calm down or b) find a new, themed home and then everyone can be happy.
Snow White, Snow Prince and Phillip came out and did a sword show instead! it was an awesome Magical Moment!

I am not an easy person to love. Some days I will whisper how beautiful you are while planting gentle kisses all over your body. You will giggle and try to fight me off and in that moment my heart will have never felt so light.
But other days when my mind is a storm cloud threatening to explode, I will be a bundle of emotions that I cannot quite keep contained. I will be cold, distant, and you will look at me like I am not the same person you fell in love with.
I am a broken light switch. My moods flicker without anyone flipping me on and off. I wake up each morning and wonder which me you will encounter that day. I always hope it is the one who makes you want to stick around.
I am not easy to love. But what I need you to understand is that whether there is a war waging inside of my mind or I am the kind person that you adore, I will always love you.
I will love you in the morning. I will love you when you cry. I will love you when I am angry. I will love you when you're being stubborn. I will love you when I don't even love myself. I will love you.
I know that there will be days when you want to give up on me but I am asking you, please don't. You see, you are the only one who has been able to settle the storm inside of me before I even realize it is surfacing.
I am not easy to love but I promise that I will always put up a fight. And I will love you no matter which me my light switch flips on that day."—

Hi followers!
My friend Sam got this AMAZING opportunity to go to Costa Rica to volunteer with an orphanage, but since it's a volunteer experience, he needs some help (even if it's just a dollar).
1. Appreciate your dad, you don't know what will happen.
2. If you don't want to wear make up, don't. For Christ sakes, you're young and beautiful. Society can go fuck their self.
3. It's really okay to love yourself. Appreciate the funny curve of your nose, and that gap in your teeth make your smile prettier. Just because you don't look like that girl in the magazine doesn't mean you can't tell yourself you're beautiful every now and then.
4. Do what makes you happy. I know you've heard this a million times, but I can't stress this enough. Go after your dream job even if it goes against every thing your parents wanted. If you don't like where you live, move. Your friends don't make you laugh until your sides hurt? You don't have to be friends with them anymore. You're in control. No one else. Don't fall under the pressure of pleasing people. Please yourself and live for you.
5. Love who you want. Regardless of gender, skin color, or societal views. Please never give up true love because you're scared. Love is a beautiful, beautiful thing, and if you're lucky enough to come across it don't you dare walk away from it because of what others will think. Take the looks, the whispers, and the criticism with a smile, grab your lovers hand, and if you're feeling extra happy, kiss them for the world to see. Let me tell you, the world is only jealous because they simply can't understand.
6. Take long showers and lay on your bed naked after, sing too loud, sleep through your classes one day, and another day just don't leave the couch. It's okay to just decide you don't have responsibilities for a little bit. Everyone needs a day ever so often to just relax. It's okay to be lazy. It's okay to sleep for 12 hours straight. It's okay to go to bed at 6 AM because you're reading and wake up at 3 the next day. Treat yourself, but most importantly love yourself enough to give yourself time to breathe.
7. Alone time is good for the soul. I truly believe that. I think it's good to cancel your plans sometimes, close your door, turn off your phone, and play some John Mayer (or whatever your prefer). Maybe you could read a book, or hell even write one if you're up for it. But take some time to yourself and learn to be happy with just you and the sound of your breathing. At the end of the day, you are the only person that is guaranteed to stick around, so you might as well learn to enjoy the way laugh at your own jokes or the way you pronounce words when you read aloud. Being comfortable alone is more important than you know.
8. It's okay to be 20 and still love Disney movies. It's not even a guilty pleasure. Everyone has their favorite whether they admit it or not.
9. Do not compromise who you are to impress someone else. You are a wonderfully constructed individual. Your trials, experiences, and life all together have sculpted you into the most lovely version of you possible. If a person doesn't like the way you live, from your sex life to your music taste, who cares? You were not put on this earth to impress them, or anyone for that matter. Impress yourself. Stick to what you want, stand up for what you believe, and tell people to screw off if they have an issue with any of it. It's your life.
10. High school does not in any manner prepare you for college. One time my teacher dismissed class early because a kid fell down the stairs and he was laughing too hard to continue the lecture. That's all I have to say about that subject.
11. I know you're making a ton of new friends at this stage in your life, but don't forget whose been there from the start. Your new friends may be exciting and wonderful and the best friends you could imagine but the ones that knew you back in middle school and were still there for you are genuine. If they loved your through your awkward phase, they're probably in it for the long run. So send some love their way ever so often. When you're older, you'll be glad you did.
12. Your mom will probably cry a lot during the next few years. Let her. Hug her. Cry with her. She just wants you happy at the end of the day. You're growing up, and life's exciting, but you have to remember that you're her baby, and the more you find yourself, the more she feels she's losing you. I know you're getting older, but so is she. Spend Sunday afternoons telling her about your life or reading her your new poetry. She'll appreciate that so much, and you will too later on.
13. It's okay to get drunk. Whether it be just for fun or that you need liquid courage to text an ex, it's completely fine. And you know what else is completely fine? Not getting drunk. It's okay to be the mom, the DD, or to not even show up to the party at all. It's all okay. But you know what isn't? Judging whatever decisions your peers make. So what there was a photo posted and that girl you went to high school with was wasted? It's not really any of your business is it. And if that guy decided to go to that poetry reading and skipped the biggest party of the year, It's really not effecting you at all, so don't act like it does.
14. Stop glamorizing sadness. Sadness is not beautiful. It does not glow. Disorders are not something to make light of, and scars are not something to be ignored. Be proud of who you are. Eat that hamburger, and put the razor down. And most importantly, smile. Happiness is by far the most beautiful thing about a person.
15. It will all be okay at the end of the day. Life has a funny way of working out.
16. Speaking of funny, life literally never goes as planned. Don't waste your time fretting over the future. Faith and destiny work hand in hand to make sure life keeps you on your toes.
17. Karma is a real and powerful thing. Please try to keep it on your side. Your bad deeds catch up with you in a big way. Take your time to build up your good karma, and do some good for other people, even if the deeds are small. Put a quarter in an expired parking meter, serve food at a homeless shelter, or go visit an elderly person at the nursing homes. Good deeds are good for others, and good for your soul.
18. You can never go wrong with pizza.
19. Don't wish your years away. I know you're at that age where you're responsible for your choices, but aren't really considered an adult but you'll want these years back. Being young is the most fantastic, exciting adventure you will ever endure. And when you get older you'll wish for these years back, even all the bad days that came along with it. So enjoy your youth, relish in it. Because you will never be younger than you are right this second.
20. And lastly, if you ever feel unloved and worthless, just know I love you and find the upmost worth in you. You're destined for big things, now go get them."—
20 things I think you should know before you turn 20 (via fuckoff-mondays)
I keep blogging this because it is so perfect, everyone should do this.. Four months to complete.

Preschool Teaching Models - Which Is Right for Your Child?
We believe it is our mandate to share the love and forgiveness of...
Click here for more info
There are a number of different preschool teaching models, each of which offers its own educational focus and philosophies. Some may center on academic matters, while others give more attention to social interaction. Some preschool teaching programs may be group-oriented, while others may focus more on the individual needs of the child.
Montessori Preschool Teaching Model
Maria Montessori was a pediatrician and psychiatrist who taught poor children in Italy during the late 19th century. In 1907, she founded the Montessori school program to teach children about the connection between all living things and to help them find their place in the world. In the Montessori preschool teaching model, children are regarded as independent learners and thinkers, and the teachers take on the roles of facilitators (or "guides"). In addition to reading, language, and mathematics, children are taught practical skills (dressing themselves, preparing their own snacks and drinks, and cleaning up after themselves) and cultural subjects (geography, zoology, history, science, music, and art).
Waldorf Preschool Teaching Model
In 1919, Rudolf Steiner founded the Waldorf preschool teaching model at the Waldorf Astoria cigarette factory in Stuttgart, Germany. The philosophy of Waldorf preschool teaching is that people are made up of three components—soul, spirit, and body. The Waldorf immerses its young students in nurturing surroundings in an effort to stimulate and develop these three aspects. Children are discouraged from watching TV or playing video games; instead, they are afforded a comfortable, homelike environment in which they are encouraged to indulge in creative free play. Daily activities at a Waldorf school may include drawing, painting, singing, reciting poems, modeling with clay, baking bread, constructing play houses out of boxes, or simply playing make-believe.
High/Scope Preschool Teaching Model
The High/Scope preschool teaching program is similar to Montessori in that children are encouraged to pursue their own personal interests and goals. However, High/Scope goes a step further by allowing children to make their own choices about activities and materials, with the teachers supporting the children in their independent decision making. The idea is one of "shared control," where the adults and the children learn together. The curriculum runs the gamut from arithmetic and language to arts, physical activity, and social interaction. The High/Scope preschool teaching program often makes use of computers and developmentally appropriate software.
Bank Street Preschool Teaching Model
Bank Street is a less structured preschool teaching model, similar to Montessori and High/Scope. The philosophy is that children are active learners, as well as experimenters, explorers, and artists. Bank Street focuses on encouraging children to study and learn about the world at large through an interconnected curriculum of art, science, and social studies. Children are allowed to work by themselves or in groups, and given the opportunity to progress at their own rate.
Reggio Emilia Preschool Teaching Model
In the Reggio Emilia preschool teaching model, the teachers determine the interests of the children by observing them, listening to them, and talking to them. Children with similar interests are then placed in small groups where they are given the opportunity to plan their own projects and learn. The Reggio Emilia approach is much less pragmatic than Montessori, with an emphasis on creativity and open-ended exploration. The curriculum is focused on artistic development, sensory exploration, and aesthetics.
Other Preschool Teaching Models
While some schools may strictly adhere to a single model, many others choose to overlap their curriculum by incorporating different elements from various preschool teaching programs. Some may follow educational paths set by curriculum publishing companies, while church- or temple-run programs may incorporate religious teachings and spiritual development. Finally, some parents may feel that none of the existing preschool teaching models are a good fit for their children, so they choose to join (or start) a parent-run cooperative preschool.
No matter which preschool you choose, the important thing to consider is how much your child will enjoy his or her experience there. The main goals of the preschool teaching program are to teach your child to interact with others, and to foster a curiosity and love of learning.

Four Days of Fun & Games! January 28-31, 2010 The Atlanta Game Fest is a chance for boardgame fans from across the Southeast to gather for four days of fun and games. That's right, this is now a four-day event! There will be hundreds of the world's best boardgames available for play as well as friendly folks who can help with the rules. Memberships for all four days are $40 each, $65 per couple and $80 per family. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. You can pay at the door or in advance at the Atlanta Game Fest site. Due to space limitations, single day memberships are not available! We have secured a fantastic room rate! Single or double room for $59! Why fight Atlanta traffic when you can stay and play? See hotel info for more details. I recommend you make your reservations early, you can cancel up to a day in advance with no charge. The cut-off date for this rate is December 23, 2009. I'll try to get that moved to a later date, but that is it for now.
More folks showed up than Ward had anticipated so things got kinda crowded. Other than that, it was awesome! People brought hundreds of games, the hotel was in a decent location, there were plenty of fun folks to play with, and even candy to munch on! What more could a game want?!? There were even large numbers of women! I think there were 40 or more women there. Those of us who have been doing this for more than a few years can appreciate how scarce women in this hobby used to be. It's great to see them coming out to play with us gaming geeks!
Carole and I have enjoyed this game-fest in the past and plan on attending as many future get-togethers as we can fit into our schedule.

Sure wish I could have been there more, but it was great while I was! I really don't know how many people were there but I know when I got there at 11 on Saturday night it was a FULL room!

Thanks to everyone who attended, these just get better and better. I couldn't have selected a nicer group of folks to attend. Sorry about the tight space for gaming, I hope to workk out everything so we have plenty of space in May.
0 · January 31, 2010
I'm very excited about this next fest. We are in a new hotel with very reasonable room rates of $59, why fight Atlanta traffic when you can stay and play? We will also have the nicest space to play in we've ever had in Atlanta, hope you can make it.

Me and my brother have been following your guy's programming for around 3 months and I was just wondering if there's any like specific warm-up you guys do everyday or if it varies. We kind of do our own thing but we've never really had like a set warm-up. Is there any chance that we can find that out if there is one?

Scott Dixon earned the pole for Sunday's Grand Prix of Baltimore, clocking in with a fast time of 1:18.0838 on his final lap of Fast Six qualifying on Saturday afternoon on the streets of Baltimore.
With the pole, he also picked up an important bonus point for his second pole of the season and will enter the race 38 points behind Helio Castroneves. The championship leader qualified seventh, giving Dixon a chance to get back in the championship battle after a controversial penalty at Sonoma cost him a chance to win and eat into Castroneves' lead.
There are just four races remaining in the season.
"It's good to bounce back after what happened last week," Dixon said. "I feel so happy for Team Target, they did a hell of a good job. We had a sensor failure in Q2, which almost knocked us out.
"Big thanks to Honda for figuring it out and fixing that in Q3. The car's been quick all week. I actually made a few mistakes on that lap and we were still able to pull it out. It's a good place to start here at Baltimore. It's going to be a tight race."
Will Power qualified second and was .0333 of a second behind Dixon in the Fast Six and will make his sixth front-row start of the season one week after scoring his first win of the season at Sonoma. Simon Pagenaud, Justin Wilson and Josef Newgarden completed the top-five in qualifying.
NBC Sports Network will broadcast the 75-lap race at 2 p.m. ET. The complete qualifying results can be found below.

Liquid D and K
Supports Optimal Bone Health
Liquid D and K, provided by Douglas Laboratories is a unique,
great tasting liquid supplying significant amounts of vitamins K1 and K2 as well
as vitamin D3 to support optimal bone health.
Vitamin K
A growing body of literature supports the concept that increased
intake of vitamin K both from food as well as supplements can have a beneficial
impact on bone health. While the term "vitamin K" may imply a single molecule,
vitamin K is actually a group of similar molecular forms including K1
(phylloquinone) and K2 (menaquinone). Liquid D and K has been specially
formulated to include the most important molecular forms of vitamin K for
optimal health.
Vitamin K1 is the most abundant form of vitamin K in the diet
and is most often found in green vegetables such as spinach, lettuce and
broccoli. Often this source of vitamin K is difficult to obtain in sufficient
amounts from the diet, as the molecule can be bound tightly to the chloroplast
membrane in the plant. Vitamin K1 is well regarded for the important roles it
plays in the body's normal blood clotting mechanisms
Vitamin K2 is not commonly found in the diet; as only a few
products including meats and certain fermented foods provide this relatively
rare form of the vitamin. Vitamin K2 is actually comprised of a group of several
different molecules, abbreviated as MK-n, where n represents a number. MK-4,
found in some animal meats and liver, and MK-7, found in fermented cheeses and
soy products (Natto) are two of the most studied forms of vitamin K2.
Supplementation with this vitamin is important as most people do not receive
enough vitamin K2 from diet alone.
Human studies show that vitamin K plays important roles in bone
health. Vitamin K has been shown to decrease calcium excretion and is involved
in gamma-carboxylation of osteocalcin. Osteocalcin is important for healthy bone
formation, as it facilitates the binding of calcium to hydroxyapatite (bone
matrix). Additional studies also indicate the vitamin K2 may play important roles in
supporting cardiovascular health and normal arterial elasticity.
While Vitamin K1 has shown to be useful in some studies, vitamin
K2 is thought to have additional, beneficial effects, as the body has a natural
preference to accumulate this vitamin in tissues such as bone. MK-7, a natural
form of vitamin K2, in particular has shown to have rapid bioavailability in the
body and the low dosages required (45 mcg) can be effective for supporting bone
Vitamin D3
Vitamin D is well known for the role it plays in helping to
regulate calcium and bone metabolism. As we age, vitamin D status declines. If
given the same amount of light, a younger person can produce more vitamin D
compared with an older individual. When advancing age is combined with northern
latitudes one can quickly become deficient in vitamin D. Vitamin D can increase
the expression of osteocalcin and other important compounds from osteoblasts to
help support bone formation or it can help to breakdown bone and mobilize
calcium when it is needed elsewhere in the body. Numerous scientists now feel
that supplementation with vitamin D at levels greater than previously thought
necessary is critical to helping maintain healthy bone remodeling as we age.
Liquid D and K may be a useful dietary supplement for those who
wish to increase their daily intake of the nutritionally important vitamins D
and K.
1 dropper (1 ml) contains:
Vitamin D3 ...............................................
Vitamin K-1 ............................................... 500
Vitamin K-2(as MK-4) .................................. 1 mg
Vitamin K-2(as MK-7, from soy) ................ 45 mcg

VINCENNES — The Hatchets finished with one of their top performances in several years Saturday in the Vincennes Invitational. Their team score of 327 was good for an overall finish in fourth place in the 18-team event. Tournament favorite Vincennes Rivet won with a team score of 318, followed by Evansville Reitz and South Spencer with scores of 326. Washington was next with 327 followed by Vincennes with a score of 339 to round out the top five.
"We are pretty happy with the way we played today," said Washington coach Bill Ricke. "Last year, the same four guys whose scores were used today in this same tournament shot 360 and finished sixth. A 33-shot improvement on the same course a year later gives us a lot of confidence that we have improved and can play well on the road. The wind conditions were very tough to deal with today, but the kids maintained their focus throughout."
The Hatchets nine-hole split scores were 169 on the front nine and 158 on the back nine. The first three holes of any tournament are difficult for the nerves to deal with, especially early in the season.
"All of our guys got off to rough starts before settling into their rounds," Ricke said. "We will learn to handle that with experience and play in many more 18-hole tournaments the rest of the season."
Clay Hatton was medalist for the Hatchets with a round of 78.
"Clay is a very tough competitor and played well today," Ricke said. "His ball striking was good and his short game continues to improve. Two of Clay's shots came in the form of a self-imposed penalty he gave himself for hitting the wrong ball. That is a careless mental mistake that I can assure you will never happen to him again. Though this penalty cost the team a better overall finish, I am extremely proud of Clay for acknowledging this error and following the rules of the game. Golf is a game of honor and players are their own referees."

The next bridge collapse
We must spend more to fix existing bridges and roadsAugust 1, 2008 12:00 AM
Share with others:
A year ago today America saw the horror of Minnesota's I-35W bridge collapse, which sent drivers tumbling to their deaths into the Mississippi River. As we mark the anniversary of this tragedy, it is important to understand its systemic causes in order to avoid future disasters.
The bridge collapse should not have been unexpected. The Minnesota tragedy is part of a broader nationwide problem with structurally deficient bridges.
The span on I-35 had been classified as structurally deficient since 1990, meaning that significant load-bearing elements were impaired, although not necessarily in dangerous condition. Bridge inspectors have assigned this status to one in eight bridges across America, totaling more than 70,000, with Pennsylvania topping the list at 5,798. More than 50,000 bridges nationwide are sufficiently damaged that inspectors recommend they be replaced entirely.
The major reasons for this systematic failure are short-sighted politics and misguided policies that cause funding for bridge repair to compete unsuccessfully against money for new highways.
No powerful interest group lobbies to make sure bridge-repair funds don't get diverted to new highways. On the contrary, well-connected developers and road builders lobby aggressively for wider lanes, new branch roads and additional off ramps. Builders often prefer lucrative contracts to pour concrete and steel for new highways rather than the uncertainty of relatively complex and labor-intensive restoration and repair. Preventative maintenance is scarcely noticed or celebrated by the public, and politicians far too often prefer shiny new roadways that they can cut ribbons for and point to as accomplishments.
Any homeowner with a leaky roof or cracked foundation knows how tempting it is to put off repairs until next summer.
The state of Minnesota consistently gave in to that temptation. In fact, the state auditor found that since 2002 more than half of the highway spending in the state was directed to expanding rather than maintaining roads, despite the department's own "preservation first" policy to do the opposite. Minnesota repeatedly borrowed money for ambitious highway expansion projects while leaving insufficient funds to maintain existing roadways. State officials and local governments repeatedly pushed the transportation department in that direction.
A 10-year study by the Minneapolis Star-Tribune similarly found that state spending on new road and bridge construction rose every year and doubled between 1997 and 2007. Bridge repair funds stayed flat during the same period, despite rising costs.
Federal policies fail to foster proper stewardship of America's bridges. Perverse incentives encourage deferred maintenance. Federal formulas dole out money to states according to their outstanding costs for replacing deficient bridges, but there is little accountability to ensure that states use the money for this purpose. On the contrary, states that conduct preventive maintenance have traditionally been forced to pay for it out of scarce state general funds that are fiercely fought over for education, health care and other programs. States that defer maintenance and allow bridges to deteriorate to the point of replacement can tap into more readily available federal capital funds -- albeit at a much greater total cost to taxpayers.
The federal Highway Bridge Program allows states to transfer money between their bridge programs and other highway programs. States can steer funds in either direction. A congressional study found, however, that 36 states transferred more money out of bridge-repair accounts than into them during the last five years. Minnesota and Arizona were most lopsided, with 49 percent of bridge-fund balances going to other highway programs.
Led by Minnesota Rep. James Oberstar, the U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed much-needed legislation this month that would provide federal direction and funding, while requiring state accountability, to repair existing infrastructure. Sadly, this reform appears stalled this session as no companion legislation has been taken up by the Senate.
Unless we change the way America finances bridge repair, we remain doomed to repeat the tragic mistakes of the past.
This anniversary should be an occasion to refocus on priorities that will otherwise remain forgotten. Without public pressure for reform, our nation's crumbling bridges will remain neglected by the short attention span of politicians.
