In order for us to become involved locally, we were introduced to local organizations, which all aim to make a positive difference in the community. The first place we visited was the Hope Center, which houses approximately two hundred men at its main facility. They don't just provide a place to stay, but also a variety of programs intended to help people get back on their feet. The amount of good being done here definitely gave me hope. The second place we visited was the Arbor Youth Services house. Many children in need of a place to stay come here for a few nights. Some may stay for longer; however, this place certainly makes a positive impact on the children who need it most.
Next, we visited the Justice House. Pancakes are served here each Saturday morning in order to spur community involvement and to share stories. One thing that was emphasized to us is that everyone has a story, including you; so, take the time to listen and tell your own. This is especially important, because entire organizations can be created this way, such as Be Bold, where girls are empowered and aided in making tangible goals for themselves. After learning about all of these wonderful groups, we headed back to the main location of the session, the Lexington Public Library's Northside Branch.
As we ate lunch, we learned about the organizations Foodchain and Seedleaf. Foodchain uses an aquaponic system, where the fish and plants help provide for each other. This group aims to inspire others to create such systems, which would reduce the number of miles food travels before it's eaten. Seedleaf has helped create ten community gardens, hosted cooking clubs, and promoted composting, all in order to be kinder to our environment.
Speaking of being kinder, some of the students wrote scripts before the session for anti-bullying videos. Two scripts were chosen, and we were split in half. While one group made a video, the other learned about Habitat for Humanity. On the Habitat for Humanity Homes tour, we discussed what kind of things are needed to make the homes, not only including the building itself, but also the community surrounding it. These are homes and neighborhoods, not just random houses. After this, our half of the class created a video where one girl is singled out from a group, and cyberbullied. It is not until one of the bullies stands up to the group that they all realize their error, and make amends with the victim.
To wrap up the day, we learned about different kinds of recycling, and put our knowledge to the test. With the organization Bluegrass Greensource, we separated our lunches, and some other trash from the library, into recyclable and non-recyclable items. It was very interesting to see how much of the weight from our meal could be recycled. This goes to show that making the right choice can, in itself, make a big difference. After all that we had learned during the session, some of the biggest takeaways for me was that there are many organizations in which anyone can get involved. Each one works to create a positive difference in the community, and by volunteering and working towards creating a better world, we, too, can be ambassadors for change.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/05/12 -- Today David Murray, star of Bravo's new "Start-Up Silicon Valley" show, launched his GoalSponsors iPhone app to help people achieve their personal health and fitness goals. Today also marks the premier episode of "Start-Up Silicon Valley" on Bravo TV, which tracks David and several other entrepreneurs' pursuit of success in the world of high tech.
How GoalSponsors Works
Looking to lose weight? Quit smoking? Learn a new language? The GoalSponsors app can help. Available as a free download on iTunes, the GoalSponsors app matches people with "sponsors" who help users achieve their personal goals. Users select an expert, such as a personal trainer, or a past achiever, such as a triathlete, who check in daily with users to help keep them on track.
The story behind GoalSponsors is a personal one. Founder David Murray struggled to lose 50 pounds, and learned first-hand that accountability and support were keys to his own success. A former product manager for Google, David understood the power that technology can have to transform lives, so he set his sites on developing GoalSponsors.
"We all have personal goals, large and small, that we want to achieve. Connecting with another person for motivation and encouragement is key to success in any area," says David Murray, Founder of GoalSponsors. "I created GoalSponsors to connect people with sponsors to help them create a plan and keep them on track until they cross the finish line."
GoalSponsors Featured on Tonight's "Start-Up Silicon Valley" on Bravo TV
David Murray is one of six high tech entrepreneurs featured in tonight's series premier of "Start-Up Silicon Valley" on Bravo TV. The show follows David's journey from idea to launch of the GoalSponsors app, showing a real-life account of bootstrapping a mobile app start-up.
About GoalSponsors
GoalSponsors helps people achieve their personal goals by matching them with a sponsor that will check in with them daily. From weight loss to quitting smoking, or even learning a new language, GoalSponsors leverages real human relationships to keep people on track with their most important goals. GoalSponsors was developed using Appcelerator's Titanium platform, and is currently available for iPhone and iPad.

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

You, you're driving me crazy! What did I do? What did I do?
My tears for you make everything hazy, clouding the skies of blue
How true, were the friends who were near me to cheer me
Believe, me they knew, but you
Find more lyrics on http://mp3lyrics.com
Were the kind who would hurt me, desert me
When I needed you
Yes you, you're driving me crazy! What did I do to you?

Remember those Magic 8 balls where you would ask a question, shake the ball, and get an answer? I wish life were that simple.
Extension agents get a lot of questions. Some say we are notorious for always answering with "well, it depends." As an Extension agent I'm as guilty as anyone of using "it depends", and not because I want to dodge your question.

Energy Conservation:
Federal Shared Energy Savings Contracting
RCED-89-99: Published: Apr 17, 1989. Publicly Released: May 17, 1989.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed federal agencies' use of shared energy savings contracts.
GAO found that: (1) as of November 30, 1988, only the U.S. Postal Service and the Army had awarded shared energy savings contracts; and (2) the Postal Service will achieve about $593,000 in cost savings over the life of its 7-year contract, and the Army will achieve about $3.5 million in savings over the life of its 25-year contract. GAO also found that: (1) impediments to agencies' use of shared savings contracts included uncertainties about the applicability of Office of Management and Budget Circular A-76 to shared savings contracts, lack of management incentives, and difficulty in measuring energy and cost savings due to the lack of energy-use baseline data for facilities; and (2) to address the impediments, the Department of Energy (DOE) developed a manual on shared savings contracting, Congress authorized incentives for federal agencies, and DOE developed a methodology for calculating energy consumption and cost savings. In addition, GAO found that some state governments and private firms were using shared savings contracts.

Poor Quality
Abbi from WACONIA, MN– Verified Buyer
I was really excited to receive this item. Now that it's put together, it looks all right. It's tasteful and has a slight modern feel. However, during assembly it became evident that the quality of the item was rather poor.
Nice Piece for the Money
Hannah from Broomfield, CO– Verified Buyer
I was looking for a big entertainment center to fit my 46" TV and sound system. This piece did the job! It fits cable box, a few speakers, some other stuff we need for the surround sound. Underneath there is room for lots of DVD's or whatever else. I love how it's able to hide all the cables - it looks nice and neat. The finish looks just like I expected, not very glossy, dark espresso finish.
Looks great, color is perfect, very sheek
Laura from Hollis, NY– Verified Buyer
So many things to say about this, first off it arrived extremely fast which made me very excited. It was very easy to assemble, the directions were easy to follow; I was able to do it alone in about an hour and a half.. Although is not real wood, its definitely good quality and sturdy. It did however come a bit damaged, a visible scratch on one of the doors, and the corner of the top shelf is cracked. Some of the pieces to put it together didn't fit in the holes the manufacturer put in place, but is no biggie, the stand can do without those pieces. Over all I am very happy with the purchase and it looks great in my living room!
Great TV Console
Christopher from San Antonio, TX
This console looks great! The glass doors really add an element of luxury. I have mounted my TV to the wall and fished the wires in the wall so this is the centerpiece below it. It looks great and functions very well with its 3 cubbies and 2 storage areas behind the glass doors.
Honest review real customer bought with own money.
Tiffany from brooklyn, NY
I loved this TV stand!!!!!. As soon as I received this I had my husband open right away and assemble it. I fell in love!!!. My favorite thing about the TV stand that I believe they don't explain is the clear glass part which pulls up and can be able to push in. To store your kink knacks... This part I love... The furniture is thick wood not like cheat material so its very sturdy. Its not tall in height like medium height. However its good for me because I have a small livingroom I would recommend this item for purchase
Love It!
Valerie from Kansas– Verified Buyer
The piece designed to hold the doors open did not fit correctly, 1 broke when putting it together. Seems to work find without it though. I otherwise love it and have no complaints. I get compliments on it often
Just what I needed
Kevin from Chicago, IL– Verified Buyer
great price point, I got this on sale for a little over 100 bucks. Looks great and has tons of storage space for my router, video games, cable box, and odds and ends. Fits my 50" TV well.
Great stand!
Marcos from Indian Harbour Beach, FL– Verified Buyer
I recently purchased this stand and am almost 100 satified with it. It looks great, totally functional, and is the perfect height for my 55 tv. I highly recommend this stand as assembly wasn't very hard, the slide-up doors look sweet. There were two peices during installation that gave me minor issues, two peices for the slide-up doors, you really had to jam them into their positions. Doors work perfect still. Also there aren't holes in the bottom storage for cables in the back. Thats where I have my receiver and blue ray, I had to punch new holes in the back for them. Still, great tv stand overall.
Great customer service!
Mike from Wisconsin– Verified Buyer
The first one I received had some damage to it. The damage looks to have been a manufacturer defect. I called in to customer service and they just sent me out a whole new unit right away. The second unit was just fine. Assembly is a bit of a project and takes some time - there's just a lot of parts and pieces. The finished unit is great. No complaints.

Carole from Greenfield, IN– Verified Buyer

For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation.

Following the Voices (Levi x Reader) PrologueModern AULevi's POVI think you call it "schizophrenia." You know, when you hear voices in your head, but no one is actually there? They sound like real voices, each talk to you, and each sounds like a real person that's standing right next to you?Yeah, I have that. The odd thing is, though, it hasn't always been there. I wasn't born into this world and I heard voices in my head. I didn't go through my childhood thinking there were people talking to me when there wasn't actually anyone there.It all started after I entered High School, but more specifically when I started dating my girlfriend, Petra Ral. It may seem crazy, but up until that point, nothing had ever been off about my mental health. I was always an outsider because of my personality, but I had friends a plenty. Then Petra and I became a couple and I heard these strange voices talking to me in my head.Another odd thing about all this was that I can't be called

JUST WANTING TO GET REAL IN ALL I DO FOR GOD.. If you want your faith to grow, you have to start where you are. No one climbs a ladder starting on the top rung. You've got to start on the bottom rung and climb up if you're going to reach the top. That's the thing that defeats a lot of well-meaning Christians—they try to believe beyond their faith.

Francis marks anniversary of John Paul II death
Pope Francis prayed Tuesday before the tomb of Pope John Paul II on the eighth anniversary of the beloved pontiff's death in what the Vatican said was evidence of Francis' "profound spiritual continuity" with popes past.
Associated Press
Pope Francis prayed Tuesday before the tomb of Pope John Paul II on the eighth anniversary of the beloved pontiff's death in what the Vatican said was evidence of Francis' "profound spiritual continuity" with popes past.
In his three weeks as pope, Francis has jolted the Catholic Church with several gestures that broke with papal tradition, including renouncing certain liturgical vestments, choosing to live in the Vatican hotel rather than the papal apartments, and washing the feet of a Muslim woman during a Holy Thursday ritual re-enacting Jesus Christ's washing of his apostles' feet.
But Francis has also visited with his immediate predecessor, Benedict XVI, and spoken on the phone with him at least three times. And on Monday, he visited the tomb of St. Peter, the first pontiff, which is located in the necropolis underneath St. Peter's Basilica.
On Tuesday, he waited until the basilica was closed to the general public to visit the tomb of John Paul II, the Polish pope who died in 2005. The tomb is located in the St. Sebastian chapel, just inside the entrance of the basilica. He also prayed before the tombs of Popes Pius X and John XXIII.
"As with the visit yesterday to the tomb of St. Peter and the Vatican grottoes, this evening's visit to the basilica expresses the profound spiritual continuity of the popes' petrine ministry, which Pope Francis lives and feels intensely, as he has shown repeatedly with his phone calls to his predecessor Benedict XVI," the Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said in a statement.
Traditionalist Catholics have been devastated by some of Francis' gestures, which they have seen as a rejection primarily of efforts by Benedict XVI to revive the pre-Vatican II tradition of the church, including much of the pomp of the papacy.
As a result, Francis' visit to the tomb of Pope Pius X was particularly significant. Pius X, who lived from 1835-1914, is known to some degree as the anti-modern pope: He wrote an encyclical on the dangers of "modernism" in church doctrine and is the namesake of the schismatic group of traditionalist Catholics, the Society of St. Pius X, with whom Benedict tried unsuccessfully to reconcile during his eight-year pontificate.
Visiting Pius' tomb could be seen as a gesture by Francis to those traditionalists upset by his election. Aside from the gesture, however, he and Pius share many priorities - particularly a concern for the poor.
John XXIII, meanwhile, called the Second Vatican Council, the 1962-65 meetings that brought the church into the modern world. The Society of St. Pius X was formed in 1969 in stark opposition to Vatican II's modernizing reforms.
In visiting both tombs on Tuesday night, Francis may have been sending a signal that he sees himself as something of a bridge between the two seemingly contrasting pontificates and the resulting divisions within the church today.
John Paul in 2001 made the then-Archbishop of Buenos Aires Jorge Mario Bergoglio a cardinal. Bergoglio was elected pope on March 13 and took the name Francis, the first time a pontiff has chosen that name.

Keurboomstrand is about 10 km (6 mi) from Plett—right on the eastern edge of the bay. If you're fit, you can walk all the way from here to Nature's Valley, but you need to watch both the tides and the steep, rocky sections. It's best to ask locals before tackling this. Even if you're not fit, you can walk about a mile down the beach, relax for a while, and then walk back. Amenities: Lifeguard, toilets, showers, food concession, grills/fire pits, parking lot. Best

Baroda 301 (Waghmode 71, Rayudu 64, Chauhan 60, Shah 50) and 4 for 0 beat Odisha 181 (Podder 82, Bhatt 6-73) and 123 (K Patel 4-36) by ten wickets
Odisha's batting keeled over for the second time in the match to help Baroda to all seven points in Vadodara. Five of Odisha's top six made single-digit scores as their side collapsed to 56 for 6, still needing plenty to make Baroda bat again. The lower order showed a bit more spine than the specialist batsmen in the side to help Odisha reach 123, at least averting the ignominy of an innings defeat. Debutant left-arm spinner Ketul Patel was Baroda's most successful bowler, taking 4 for 36. Baroda were left needing four runs to win, and they didn't even have to score those off the bat as four byes confirmed their victory. The result took Baroda, at least temporarily, to the top of the table with 20 points. Odisha have slipped from second to third place, and still remain strong contenders for a place in the knockouts.
Vidarbha 237 for 6 (Badani 69*) trail Uttar Pradesh 548 for 8 dec (Dagar 116, Alam 100, Kaif 85, Chawla 85) by 311 runs
Uttar Pradesh finally declared their first innings on the third morning, after Arif Alam reached his second successive century, and then steadily consolidated their advantage with regular strikes against Vidarbha. Hemang Badani, the batsman formerly of Tamil Nadu, top scored with an unbeaten 69 but with UP having scored a mountain of runs, Vidarbha needed big hundreds to stand a serious chance of getting the first-innings lead. Instead, opener Faiz Fazal and No. 3 Amol Ubarhande produced 40s, which were not enough to prevent UP from dominating the game.
Haryana 257 (Yadav 63) and 75 for 2 trailMaharashtra 540 for 8 dec (Atitkar 190, Jadhav 109, Bawne 86) by 208 runs
Maharashtra gave themselves a chance of their first outright victory of the season by taking a massive lead in the first innings and setting Haryana's fragile batting the challenge of seeing out the best part of four sessions to survive. Sangram Atitkar, who reached his century on Sunday, reached his career-best score of 190, and Kedar Jadhav made a hundred to lift Maharashtra towards 500. Faced with a 283-run deficit, Haryana lost their openers in the 26 overs before stumps, and need to find some batting solidity on the final day to salvage a point.

More reviews by iamtheanonymous
I actually do like the packaging because it's more unique than a regular compact. Like the majority of reviewers, I love that it's very natural-looking (matte tan color, no shimmer). It's perfect for contouring, I use it mainly for the cheekbones and jawline. Over the couple of weeks I've been using this, I notice that for me, it looks better in natural or medium lighting rather than bright lights. Also, the Benefit counter SA is the best! He really knew his stuff and spent time teaching me how to use this. I really appreciate the good customer service.
This bronzer lives up to it's name when it says 'tan' however, I found out that the tan looked too 'fake' and that it does not compliment my skin. I have a fair-medium skin so it did not work for me. I've only used it once or twice, and regret buying it.
My first box lasted 1.7 years but I just purchased another one. That says a lot because I would never buy a 28 USD bronzer unless it was worth it. I've swatched pretty much every single brand of bronzer that Sephora offers (Cargo, Too Faced, Tarte, Urban Decay, NARS, etc.) and MAC bronzers as well, and they are all too orange (think oompa loompa). There is no orange in this. I can't see a hint of pink or orange in it; it's just a medium brown color. What I like about Hoola is that it's matte. Also, I use it as a contour so I like the fact that it doesn't have sparkles in it because when you contour, you shouldn't have sparkels in the dark areas of your face. It feels silky smooth to the touch (not grainy at all). Application is beautiful if you don't use too heavy a hand. The packaging could be nicer for the 28 USD but it serves its purpose as long as you aren't dropping it everywhere. I don't use the little brush that comes with it to apply, but I use it to buff out the harsh lines. The brush is soft and quite nice. I even got the Sephora MA interested in it.
I am blonde with medium skin tone. I love the texture and color. It makes my cheeks perfectly tan. It looks like I spent a few hours in the sun. I like the little brush and I think it blends nicely. I would buy again.
HOOLA is a great bronzer for all of you lighter skinned girls out there. I'm a n15, but in winter or when I'm ill/stressed/tired I'm around n10.
This is a very natural shade that I can wear all year round; it's sheer and there is no shimmer. It wont clog up your skin & Ive found it to be easy to apply. Now I can look sun kissed too!!
I got this in the powder pop. The other two, dandelion and dallas which i like, although i find dandelion too light even though i am quite fair skin (NC20) but that is another review. This one don't work for me. Make me look like i smudge mud on my face, very ugly. Nothing beautiful nor healthy about this. I can't imagine it working it out for lighter skin tone. May work well for darker skin. I may try with Mac 188 and see but i still don't like what i see when i use Mac 168 to applied it on my face. Will update if there is any changes but certainly won't repurchase this individually as i'm not too big in favour of bronzer and this is so hard to blend and it is not at all natural bronzer.... I find Nars Laguna alot better than this. If i had gotten this on its own then it would be a waste of money.
I've been using this bronzer for quite a few years now and it's probably one of the the best ones on the market! It gives such a great natural colour with no sign of any orange tints or sparkle! I think it's pretty expensive and even though the packaging is cute I'd prefer it in a compact.
I love this bronzer! I use it for contouring and it does a great job!
I did not have the problem of looking muddy, the color is perfect for bronzing/contouring.
The only problem I have with this is, it takes A LOT of rough buffing to blend the color out. Otherwise, it's perfect!
NC20-25. Although it looks really muddy in the packaging it is the perfect all over bronzer! Its matte and gives a natural bronze effect. It is great for contouring and giving your whole face color on days where you feel like you have no color in you! And a little bit goes a long way so it'll last you forever.
For starters, I have NC35 medium tanned asian skin with yellow undertones. I have normal/combination skin. I bought HOOLA because I was looking for a matte bronzer with no shimmer, and I intended to use this doubly as a foundation powder (as opposed to bronzer on top of foundation).
Here is my rating:
Color 5/5 - The color is a perfect match for skin with yellow undertones. It is a true brown and is not orange or pink, and it is matte without taking away my original glow. Some bronzers can be really matte and make me look dead. This isn't muddy unless it is layered multiple times. The color is better than the Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer, which can be muddy at times, and looks more natural than the Annabelle Bronzers.
Blendability 2.5/5 - I apply this with my EcoTools Kabuki brush and find that the blendability is only average, and is comparable to most drugstore powders I have tried. This highlights dry spots on my face and requires extra blending, otherwise it can be blotchy. I prefer Everyday Minerals Pressed Powder for the best blending. I also find that the Lise Watier Havana Bronzer blends better than this.
Pigmentation 5/5 - This has great pigmentation and the powder itself is very soft and is easily picked up by the brush, unlike MAC powders/bronzers which need a heavier hand. The included brush is pretty decent for touch-ups but not big enough for using all over the face.
As for extended usage, I found that this powder clogs pores and causes me to get oily in the t-zone. Once I stopped using this and went back to my mineral powder, I did not get oily anymore, so this is something to keep in mind for those who have problem with oil. I haven't got any break-outs so far though and I have been using this for a week. Other gripes about this, like others have commented, are the bad packaging. Cardboard feels cheap and is too bulky. I prefer traditional flat compacts with mirrors for easy touch ups. I will continue using this but will not re-purchase. Bottom line is that the color is amazing but I don't like that it highlights dry spots and causes my skin to get oily.
