United Methodist Women in the United States are proud of being a part of a racially and culturally diverse movement and church. The Charter for Racial Justice Policies reminds us that our strength lies in this diversity and that we must work toward a world in which each person 's value is respected and nurtured. For many years, particularly since the civil rights movement of the 1960 's, the faith community has made voter registration activities a priority. 2004 provides opportunity to broaden the important work of helping to expand political participation in the election process by working to help ensure that once registered, citizens actually get to vote and that their vote is counted.
Because we believe…that racism is a rejection of the teachings of Jesus Christ…We will unite our efforts with all groups in the United Methodist Church…to support nomination and election processes which include all racial groups…" United Methodist Charter for Racial Justice Policies
Is not this then fast I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the thongs of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke? (Isaiah 58:6)
While interpretation and translated ballots are required by the Voting Rights Act in some precincts, Chinese and Korean voters in New York in the 2002 elections found that polling sites had few or no interpreters, ballots were mis-translated, and many of their voter registration forms had been mishandled or lost, meaning they could not vote. 2
These experiences have led to serious questioning of the electoral process by members of minority groups and a loss of confidence in the ability of U.S. election processes to operate fairly for all citizens.
In 2002 Congress passed the Help America Vote Act. 6 The purpose of the Act was to correct some of the problems revealed in the 2000 presidential election, but lack of understanding of new rules could open the door for new problems. The bill addresses issues of:
• New voter identification requirements
• Provisional ballots for voters whose names are not on the role
• Opportunities for voters to correct ballot errors
• Disability assistance
• Language assistance as required by the Voting Rights Act
• Programs for volunteer college and high school student poll workers and assistants
United Methodist Women can be a part of making the promise of the new legislation a reality as well as documenting areas of continuing problems. It is an opportunity to stand together as United Methodist Women of diverse races and cultures united in working to secure full political participation for all of us.
Vote on November 2nd and take five friends to the polls with you.

Tips for Renting a Temporary Dumpster in Fort Worth, TX
How long can a dumpster remain on my property?
According to the Fort Worth Zoning Ordinance, a temporary trash dumpster can remain on a homeowner's property for up to 30 days unless it's associated with an unexpired built permit. In that case, a maximum of 180 days is allowed.
- At residences, dumpsters must be placed on concrete (i.e., driveway) and can't encroach on the roadway.
Placing a dumpster in the street
In cases where you would need to place a temporary dumpster on a public street, you would have to obtain a Temporary Street Use and Lane Closure (Street and Sidewalk) permit. The current fee, as of 2014, is $75.
- Your dumpster rental company may already include this fee in its price quote, so be sure to ask them about it.
Overflowing dumpsters may incur fines
Commercial and construction dumpsters that are overflowing with junk and debris can incur up to a $500 fine, per the city code.
A few more useful tips…
- Don't throw yard waste or trimmings in your curbside garbage container or a rented dumpster unless the dumpster rental company specifically tells you the load will be recycled/composted. This material doesn't go to the landfill like other household waste.
- Fort Worth accepts a wide variety of recyclable items via its curbside recycling program or at any one of its recycling drop-off stations.
- A list of area commercial recyclers can be found here. (Please note this isn't an exclusive list)

Well, hello there! Gosh guys. So much to say, and yet I don't know where to start – so I'm just going to ramble for a minute. I'm sorry it's been so quiet here – I know some of you have been worried! I didn't intentionally take (twenty!) days off from writing, and every single day I have sat down to write and ended up doing other things.
I have so many things that I want to tell you about and share, and I'll get to it all eventually. The truth of it all is that I've been chasing after two little boys who enlighten, enchant, and exhaust me in ways I could have never imagined. I feel like I've grown a lot this summer. I've spent so much time outside, surrounded myself with water, been lucky enough to see family and friends – and I've found myself mostly unplugged, more disconnected than I've been in ages, and thoroughly refreshed by all of it.
When the weather cools and the drizzle begins, I'm sure I'll take up solace in the comfort of my keyboard and my office chair again. And as it always has, this space will continue to ebb and flow – both in content and in frequency – along with life's seasons and changes. I so appreciate all of you who have hung on and continued to support and encourage me through it all.
Let me just tell you guys – two kids is no joke! There's plenty more to say on that another day, but the bottom line is that I'm caring for someone most of the time. And I don't mean that there is twice the amount of laundry, twice the toys to clean up, or twice the sunscreen to apply (although all of that is true).
What I mean is that there are two big toothy grins to greet me every morning. There are two very different personalities – one wanting focused attention on puzzles and make believe games, and the other beaming for more peek-a-boo and discovering the thrill of summer splashing. There are two little bodies to hug and hold and comfort, and who both believe in the magic of mama's healing kisses. There is twice as much love, wonder, and growth to cherish and to desperately try to hold onto before another day passes.
And so, I haven't been writing. But I promise you, I have absolutely been living.
And so with that said, let me show you what we've been up to! I've said it before, but I'm saying it again. I think this might be our best summer yet. The weather has been absolutely perfect, and while we certainly haven't done it all, we've done so much more than I thought we would.
We kicked off August with a mom's group trip to the blueberry farm! We went to this same spot last year, all of us chasing after toddlers and sweating through the heat with various stages of pregnant bellies.
This year, the bellies have all become babies who had a stroller party to try to escape the hot, hot sun!
Graham ate his weight in juicy berries, and as I watched him jam fistfuls into his mouth, I laughed thinking about how I quartered Cullen's blueberries until he was something like a year old.
And just as he did before, Cullen put every berry in his mouth and not a single one into the bucket. I only got him to stop by telling him he was going to turn blue!
He has grown up so much this summer. It is simultaneously amazing and heartbreaking to watch. He looked like such a BABY just a short summer ago…
And in the recent months he has transformed into every bit the little boy. His arms and legs seem like they have doubled in length, his signature belly has all but flattened, and his wit and charm truly scare me for the teenage years.
I feel like one lucky mama.
Our garden has continued to thrive, and we are currently drowning in more tomatoes than we could ever eat! (And I started wearing my Fitbit again once I bought a new charger!)
We took the boys to an outdoor summer concert (Graham's first!). Despite the smiling photo, it was a pretty big disaster. Maybe next year!
Oh, and in the four weeks we had between travels, Cullen became fully potty-trained! That felt like a really big step, and while it felt like the biggest deal ever for the first week or two, now it feels like old habit. It is so nice to just have one kid in diapers again! Also, toddler boxer briefs – are you kidding me?? Don't worry, he also got a haircut.
With each passing weekend came more summer fun. My best friend, Lindsey, came to visit and we had THE BEST time. We were able to do and see so much, and I felt so refreshed and relaxed after spending a few days with her.
We took a spin out on Lake Washington on a friend's boat.
And stayed out way too late.
We ate a lot of delicious summer treats, including these incredible ice cream sandwiches.
And I made lots of vegetarian BLT's – a summer staple!
We fed the giraffes at the zoo.
And we did a family night out at the Mariners game!
Graham discovered straw cups and smoothies…
And Cullen pretty much lived on homemade popsicles.
The final piece of our backyard transformation went from this weed-covered dirt pit…
To this patio paradise! The backyard is my happy place.
Graham turned ten months old, and has absolutely come to life this summer. He is a fearless and sensitive little jokester who keeps all of us laughing as we watch him discover the world.
Maybe I've just totally forgotten the baby phase from the first time around, or maybe it's because he has an older brother to mimic, but I am constantly amazed by how curious and brave he is. He wants so badly to keep up with the big kids, and I want so badly for him to stay little just a teeny bit longer.
And while much of summer has been planned around the youngest boys, Casey and I have also taken a bit of time aside for just us two. We've stayed up late and cooked yummy meals, we've planned unique date nights, and we capped it all off with a sunset sailboat ride around Lake Union.
We're finishing up our summer fun with some travel! We have two big family vacations planned for this year (one with each of our families – and almost back to back!). We just got back from one trip, and we leave for another in a few days. I'll be back soon to fill you in our adventures in the San Juan Islands.
Happy summer! I missed you guys!

Pierce Brosnan has opened up about giving up the iconic role of James Bond, saying that he grew up watching Sean Connery struggle and strive to pull away from the image of 007 and he understands how difficult it is.
Alyssa Milano is pregnant with her second child with her husband David Bugliari , according to her rep.
Daniel Craig apparently left a voice mail message on Kate Moss` voicemail declaring his love for the supermodel .
Sienna Miller has slammed the media for sensationalizing the reports of her relationship with Daniel Craig which was just "a very brief encounter".
Actress Sienna Miller said that she had a "brief encounter" with James Bond star Daniel Craig, but insisted a British tabloid misconstrued the nature of the relationship based on a hacked voicemail message.
Daniel Craig has signed on to star in thriller `The Whole Truth`.
A former News of the World journalist told a British court today how he used phone-hacking to find out about an affair between James Bond star Daniel Craig and the actress Sienna Miller.
Jude Law was angry at his film pal Daniel Craig over his affair with his then girlfriend Sienna Miller .

Adam Himmelbach's letter home from Redskins training camp
View More Images from this story
Visit the Photo Place
Brown, a rookie offensive lineman, attended Appalachian State, a small Division I-AA university in Boone, N.C. Last fall, the Mountaineers won at Michigan in one of the greatest upsets in college football history.
It was kind of like an ant defeating a can of Raid.
This week, Brown is among a slew of roster hopefuls who might as well be called hair because there is a good chance they will be cut.
But I figured that after beating Michigan, Brown must think that anything's possible. I walked over and introduced myself, but when I extended my hand, I noticed his were both holding helmets.
"This one's Jon Jansen's," Brown said, referring to the Redskins' veteran tackle who is a--gulp--Michigan alum. "He came over to me and said, 'Hey, rook. Carry my helmet. Where's Appalachian State now?'"
But Brown didn't have to say anything. He just paused and remembered that indelible day last fall. He remembered how the pain disappeared from his mangled fingers. He remembered how Michigan's stadium was so eerily silent that he could hear one of his friends roaring in the upper deck.
Now he wants to complete another unlikely feat. He wants to make this team.
"It's like riding a bull--you just stay on as long as you can," Brown said yesterday. "Most people wouldn't have given me a chance to even make it this far."
At least one of Brown's teammates hopes he sticks around. After the morning practice, Jansen strolled into the training facility with both hands free.
"It's great to have Kerry here," Jansen said. "I don't like carrying my helmet."
Will write more soon,
P.S.--I saw defensive tackle Matthias Askew and cornerback Justin Tryon today. I was so tempted to say: "Hey, guys. Can I Askew to Tryon this jersey?"

While some media companies have had difficulty finding subscribers or an audience, let alone investors or buyers (Time Inc., anyone?), Vice Media, the fearless Canadian crew that convinced basketball legend Dennis Rodman to to hang out with North Korea's Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un, is growing—in both revenue and popularity—in epic proportions.
The company is now valued at more than $2.5 billion after it landed back-to-back investments, worth $250 million, from Silicon Valley firm Technology Crossover Ventures and A+E Networks. This comes on the heels of news last week that Time Warner had been trying to invest in Vice but couldn't work out a deal.
For comparison's sake, the New York Times points out that BuzzFeed was valued well below Vice at $850 million when a recent $50 million investment came its way.Continue reading...

Guinness Goes Blonde
Guinness may be known as a stout to most beer drinkers, but American imbibers will have to reconsider when the company releases a new brew on US soil: Guinness Blonde American Lager.
According to AdAge, the beer is part of a new "Discovery Series" that Guinness-owner Diageo is testing to try and create new revenue. After all, North American sales of Guinness stout dropped 6 percent in the 12 months ended June 30, and drinkers in the States tend to prefer lighter lagers.
The new beer is being introduced via a BBDO-designed campaign that debuted in Playboy with an ad that read, "The most talked about American blonde in years … will come from a most unexpected source."
Guinness hopes the new beers will help it do battle with the hefty craft-brew movement in the US and elsewhere. This isn't the company's first attempt at a lager, though. Three years ago, Diageo introduced Guinness Black Lager, which didn't do as well as the company expected but is still on the market. Diageo plans to release two beers a year as part of the new series.Continue reading...

The old Cannes is still on display; but while greying stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Mel Gibson and Harrison Ford were riding a tank into Cannes to promote the third installment of their blow-it-up series The Expendables, the young bucks were talking about branded content.
Most outspoken about the future of brands and messaging was—surprise, surprise—Kanye West.
In addition to offering to remake Instagram, West called out Samsung and BlackBerry for naming Alicia Keys "creative director." He also talked up Beats and praised Apple for its acquisition. But while West may have been most blunt, his message was in line with the rest of the Cannes community: the world needs more (and better) branded content.Continue reading...

The partnership follows the brand's recent tie-up with Major League Baseball in a sponsored video series, Coldwell Banker Home Field Advantage, that follows baseball greats into their homes, as well as the brand's own film festival, which helped engage consumers around the world as they hopes to capture the meaning of "home."

I realized the other day that I've never actually written about my job on the blog. This is probably because a 2-4 hour per week commitment can hardly be called a job, but it's still something I've been doing for a little over a year.
I got an email about a year and a half ago from a guy in our ward who works in the Psychiatry Department at Stanford. He said that one of his coworkers was going to be running an NIH-funded study on insomnia in pregnancy and needed nurses for it, preferably ones who were passable in Spanish. The time commitment was minimal and the experience looked interesting, so I applied and was hired.
Most pregnant women think that insomnia is just part of the deal, so they don't go out looking for a sleep therapist. And obviously sleep disturbances during pregnancy are expected. There are always going to be wakings caused by heartburn, discomfort, the baby kicking, frequent bathroom trips, etc. The problem, though, is when a woman gets up to go to the bathroom at 2 AM and it takes her three hours to fall back to sleep. Or when a woman lies down to go to bed, and can't shut off her brain for two hours. That's not normal or healthy. Our study is aimed at figuring out a few things:
-If nurses are trained to administer therapy to pregnant insomniacs, would more pregnant women seek help? Nurses are pretty conveniently located for pregnant women to have access to, unlike a sleep therapist who has to be sought out.
-What kind of therapy is most effective for pregnant women?
Since I am a nurse therapist in this study and not actually running the study, I have to be blinded to some of the other aspects of the study. I don't even know what the other treatment type is, and I'm not allowed to talk about the kind of treatment I administer, especially with others involved in the study. But the training that I have gone through and the therapy that I give is fascinating to me, and seeing changes in our patients is very rewarding. It's also the best of both worlds to have my toe in nursing and to spend a few hours a week feeling like a competent adult who is using her hard-earned degree, while getting to be a stay-at-home-mom 99% of the time.
We have one conference call a week (which I take from home) where our training is tweaked and honed, and then I will often have one session with a patient a week. This ends up only being a couple of hours at the hospital. I'm able to do child swaps with some friends, so it works out well with T.
Since the hours are so few, this job isn't a big moneymaker, but the experience I'm getting is fabulous, and working at Stanford is an honor. Not to mention, I've learned things that most certainly would have helped with my [absolutely horrible] sleep issues when I was pregnant with T, that will hopefully be beneficial in the future.

hmm, based on your description of what is not normal, I'm thinking I might have some pregnancy insomnia! I always lie awake for a couple of hours at night before I fall asleep, usually because my back is hurting too much to sleep, but sometimes my back is fine and I just can't sleep because of what you said about not being able to shut my mind off. Any tips you could give me that are more public knowledge?

Awesome! I would love to hear the findings when it becomes available. I really struggled with insomnia with all 3 pregnancies and would love to know of a treatment! And that's great you're able to have that opportunity. Way to go Mama!

Oh, I hope you can help Amy! That would be wonderful.
Also that is SO cool to have something that works out so ideally. I love staying at home with my kids, but if I could find something like that just a few hours a week that would be rewarding and keep my brain running along the lines of editing and language that would be fabulous.
And I know it's not the point, but you look super cute in your uniform. I still can't get over your short hair. I know I should by now, but it still seems new to me!

Women on Top
Starting out with just a game-changing idea, a bulletproof business plan, or an electrifying design, these women are reinventing their industries and demolishing boys' clubs from the ranks of the military to Silicon Valley. They're all under 40, but those aren't stars in their eyes: They're planning a revolution.
By Sophie Moura
Top Lawyer
Bridgette Carr, 34, director of the Human Trafficking Clinic, University of Michigan Law School
Résumé: Carr's is the only clinic dedicated solely to assisting human trafficking victims, mainly women and children from poor countries forced into labor in the U.S. She files immigration claims, expunges criminal convictions for victims, and helps to nail traffickers.
Background Check: "I got a full ride to medical school, but on the fifth day, seeing a young mom and baby, I thought, Hurry up and tell me what's wrong. I'm busy! It wasn't me, so I dropped out and went to law school instead."
Big Break: "My first trafficking case, in 2005, involved young Ukrainian women forced to work at a Detroit strip club. In 2008, one testified in front of Congress, supporting a law to bring foreign victims' families into the U.S. When it passed, she was able to bring her mother here."
On Call: "My clinic is a contact for the National Human Trafficking Resource Center, so when a case comes up, my cell phone rings. I recently dropped everything late on a Friday night to meet a woman who'd escaped from domestic slavery."

Re: Make your own Super Smash Bros Character!
Up Smash – Giga Drain -
Exeggutor turns to face the screen and stomps in place slowly like in his Pokemon Stadium idle animation as his palm tree top starts absorbing green energy all around him. This has a quarter of a second of start-up, but the hitbox is a giant disjointed box around Exeggutor as tall as 2 Ganondorfs and 2 Battlefield Platforms wide. This deals 10-20 hits of 1% and flinching, and every damage point inflicted Exeggutor heals. The catches are that this does nothing whatsoever to shields and is fairly easy to DI out of, though if they were right on top of Exeggutor they'll take three quarters of the damage by the time they DI out.
But still. . .Why wouldn't they shield? The foe takes shield-stun in such a fashion that their shield doesn't shrink at all during this time and Exeggutor has .25 seconds of end lag to punish if the foe is still up close to him. The answer is quite simple – they don't shield because they don't have an effing clue as to how to shield due to having scrambled controls. Best used immediately after you confuse the foe or right when Future Sight would kick in (Or when it would if you used ftilt).
Neutral Aerial – Sleep Powder -
Exeggutor shakes around rapidly like a dog (Or as doglike as he can be with his body shape), causing sleep powder to emit from Exeggutor's tree top. This has .3 seconds of lag on either end, but has a very long duration of a whole second. Exeggutor floats in the air via his psychic powers during the duration, but his falling speed increases by 1.5X for half a second afterwards. Once Exeggutor is done, a Bowser sized cloud of Sleep Powder will be where he was, lasting for 3 seconds and causing anyone who comes into contact with it to fall asleep (They won't fall asleep until hitting the ground – no easy gimps).
What makes this attack remotely usable is the fact that Exeggutor gets flinch resistance during this move – not superarmor. This means Exeggutor can still take damage/knockback, but it won't interrupt the move. Getting knocked away is actually a good thing, though, as wherever Exeggutor travels throughout the duration of this move will have Sleep Powder. How kind of the foe to help you spread it around!
Forward Aerial – Slam -
Exeggutor slams his body forwards over .9 seconds with the hitbox coming out after the first .15 seconds, the hitbox being his upper body. This deals 13% and a weak meteor smash that pushes foes down 1.5 Ganondorfs.
Exeggutor has superarmor during this attack. If a foe hits him with a jointed attack from the front anyway, their attack will cause Exeggutor's heads to crack open and the scrambled eggs within the heads to splatter all over the foe, reversing their controls as if they were hit by the Down Special and bringing Exeggutor out of the move. This is a good attack to let Exeggutor pressure the foe what with the only valid response being dodging, and if they don't know what button is dodge. . .Fun times!
Back Aerial – Vine Whip -
Exeggutor extends out a pair of vines from his tree top a quarter of a Battlefield Platform backwards over .3 seconds. This hitbox is a grab hitbox and does no damage, but the foe is still perfectly capable of attacking while "grabbed" like this. If they deal more knockback then a Battlefield Platform's width, then they'll be free of the grab, but otherwise Exeggutor will pull the foe along with him wherever he goes, the foe unable to move. The foe can also escape this like a traditional grab, but it's 3x as difficult to escape – and button mashing is rather bad when you could accidentally input something banned from Confusion. . .
Buy why button mash to escape? It's not like you have to knock Exeggutor very far to get out of this. . .Except for the part where Exeggutor can use his nair or fair, where he –wants- you to attack him and running away isn't an alternative.
Inputting bair when you already have a foe grabbed has Exeggutor swing around his vines to the opposite side, enabling him to face his foe. If he holds down A as he swings the foe, then he'll release them as he swings them in that direction, dealing 9% and knockback that kills at 160%.
Up Aerial – Synthesis -
Exeggutor angles his palm leaves on his head upwards to absorb as much sunlight as possible. How much he heals is based off how high in the air he is, and thus how much closer he is to the sun. If he's under Ganon's height in the air (And he's not capable of getting that high outside Leaf Storm with his terrible jumps and high fall speed), he won't heal at all. If he's 5 Ganondorfs up, he'll heal 25% - the max. This is fairly quick, but can only be used once every time Exeggutor's in the air. While you can get fast healing if you spam this in conjunction with Leaf Storm, having low damage will be irrelevant if you have no recovery.
Down Aerial – Stun Spore -
Exeggutor thrust his upper body downwards as a massive amount of yellow powder comes out of the palm leaves on his head. This is surprisingly fast, and the yellow powder covers an area as wide as Exeggutor and falls faster then Sonic can run, giving this move excellent downward range if used from high up, stunning foes for a nasty 2 seconds, though it's delayed until they hit the ground to prevent easy gimping. If shorthopped, Exeggutor blocks almost the entirety of the hitbox of the move with his girth.
Aside from giving Exeggutor time to set-up his leaves how he wants or to potentially even set them up under the foe for a leaf storm kill, grabbing the foe won't interrupt their stun, giving Exeggutor 2 free seconds to levitate them to a hard to recover from position before they can even attempt to escape the grab. This also applies to Sleep Powder, grabbing them with Psychic not waking them up.
Exeggutor extends his upper half forward as his three heads all have entirely blank expressions with their tongues drooling out of their mouths. He proceeds to emit ten purple waves as tall as he is that go all the way to the opposite blast zone, going through anything solid along the way at Luigi's dashing speed. The distance between them varies – you can spot dodge most of them in succession without missing a beat, but there will be the occasional wave that's just a bit closer to prevent you from spot dodging them all. You generally have to go over them.
If any of the waves hit, all the other ones vanish as the screen zooms in on the victim as they fall asleep, then shortly after wake up with their eyes swirling. Exeggutor lets out a cry and steps into the background as any scrolling on the stage stops for the 20 second duration of the Final Smash, and you control the foe. Any KOs the victim makes will count for Exeggutor. Sounds a lot like another certain Final Smash, doesn't it? Oh come on. It's been 5 MYMs since then. . .
So in 1v1s you just make the foe walk off the edge of the stage, right? Well, you think you'd be able to do that, but Exeggutor's Hypnosis isn't perfect – whenever the foe is off-stage they'll be cpu controlled and only attempt to recover back to the stage. The foe still seems to be resisting Exeggutor's Hypnosis. . .No matter. You can just make the foe smack themselves in Confusion. Worry not if you didn't hit the foe with Confusion in advance – if you walk in front of Exeggutor in the background, he'll automatically use Confusion on the foe if they're not currently confused – this also applies to any other foes outside the victim. If you do manage to KO the foe before the time is up, then they'll no longer be hypnotized and the Final Smash will end.
Exeggutor mainly revolves around Confusion to force the foe to avoid certain inputs and reversing the foe's controls with Egg Bomb/jab/ftilt/fsmash so they don't know what that banned input is. From there, Exeggutor generally likes to use moves like his dsmash, usmash, fair, and nair (The later 2 often combined with bair) which require rather immediate specific responses from the foe – considering the foe doesn't know how to do these things, things can get rather awkward, especially if the specific response they have to do just so happens to be blocked by Confusion.
While Exeggutor can pressure if he has Confusion and control reversing going for him, he's far from what you picture when you think of a rushdown character and likes time to himself to set up scrambled egg traps and razor leaves. To get this time, you can use your dashing attack to place a Barrier behind you (Or potentially in front of you if you're feeling ballsy), then set up a bit and use your utilt for some anti-air when the foe comes over. If they land on your tree-top, you can hastily lead into an Egg-Bomb as they come down in front of you to start the control reversing up and start fleeing from the foe as you camping at them with Razor Leaves and stacking up other control reversals. With their controls scrambled about, they'll take longer to approach and will be more likely to actually get hit by the leaves as you continue to flee and set-up. Once you get enough leaves, you can use them to get into the air without wasting a Leaf Storm to either heal yourself, stun the foe, or scramble their controls via uair/dair/Down Special respectively. If you don't fear the foe that much and are confident they're fumbling around helplessly, you can just go for a usmash/dsmash as well. Dsmash in particular can get you into the air without requiring set-up as the foe knocks you up, though if you can manage to land the bair (Probably from forcing the foe to approach over a barrier) you can also clash your nair/fair with the foe without getting all that high up.
While you definitely don't ever want the foe's controls to unscramble once you've gotten them scrambled, you don't have to feel the need to constantly chase after them to re-scramble their controls. Again, if the foe thinks they're gaining something by staying away during that time, that's their mistake, as Exeggutor can just heal with his dsmash/uair. Bait the foe in with the threat of your healing to get them into range to re-reverse their controls and leave them helpless to your tactics.
To actually kill foes, you're generally lacking in moves with that much knockback despite being a heavyweight. Your best bet would probably be levitating the foe about off-stage farther than they can recover after grabbing them with Psychic. To get more time to do that, you'll generally want to either hit the foe with Sleep Powder or Stun Spore so you have more time to levitate them around before they can even attempt to escape the grab. To help you land the grab, you can take advantage of Barriers from your Dashing Attack which Psychic is more than capable of grabbing through while being perfectly safe from enemy attack.
Exeggutor Vs. Arcanine: 80/20, Exeggutor's Favor
Arcanine moving around so stupidly fast and revolving around doing so is bad for him because of the simple threat of running off-stage and killing himself with reversed controls. With Exeggutor's massive range and how he enjoys time to himself, the "run" part of Arcanine's hit and run strategy can often do more harm than good. If nothing else, Arcanine will have plenty of time to prepare his buffs, but he'll certainly need them – the fact that even said buffs can be used against him via Confusion doesn't make things look any better for him. Exeggutor's scrambled eggs traps laying on the ground also prove more useful than normal against Arcanine, as the fact that Arcanine keeps running when he lands a grab means he'll run onto one and trip, freeing Exeggutor from the grab. This means Exeggutor can feel free to wh
re out his shield if he has his back to a scrambled eggs trap, as Arcanine's only option to beat it out will just cause Arcanine to trip, making Arcanine struggle all the more to break through Exeggutor's defenses. Nevermind how Arcanine has no vertical recovery whatsoever, which makes Exeggutor's main KO method in Levitation depressingly easy to kill with.
Exeggutor Vs. Item Tree: 50/50, Lady Luck's Favor
There's no Super Happy Tree or (recent) Whispy Woods moveset for the Item Tree to battle, so she'll have to settle for Exeggutor. It's essentially impossible to make a serious match-up ratio for the Item Tree, but you lot don't like all of those ridiculous ratios anyway, right?
The Item Tree likes time to herself more-so than Exeggutor due to being able to spawn items, and Exeggutor being such a poor aerial combatant means he'll struggle to get at the Item Tree's items. Still, the fact the Item Tree is more of a threat when left alone then Exeggutor, Exeggutor will generally have to be the one to approach. . .And why wouldn't he want to? If he manages to reverse the Item Tree's controls, she'll struggle to bring down the items she actually wants to use and will quite possibly end up hurting herself with her own items/fail to prevent even Exeggutor from getting his meaty vines on an item or two.
Killing the Item Tree for Exeggutor is a mixed bag. On the one hand, Exeggutor can ignore the Item Tree's ridiculous weight by levitating her off-stage. On the other hand, her recovery is a clone of Rob's, meaning it's very good. Exeggutor's stunning moves in Stun Spore/Sleep Powder serve more use then usual though in that they enable the cumbersome Exeggutor to easily get his hands on the Item Tree's items for good KO options.
The Item Tree can kill Exeggutor with utmost ease, the problem is racking his damage, mainly due to his ability to heal himself and how the Item Tree fails at approaching even more then Exeggutor. Exeggutor's Barrier proves very annoying for the Item Tree due to her pathetic jumps, her having to dash against it and take the damage to destroy it or use her main recovery move. When she finally gets past it, Exeggutor will already of healed a good bit, and if she knocks him up into the air Exeggutor can just use his dsmash on top of her foliage. Yes, the Item Tree can use her usmash on Exeggutor, but then she'll hit him higher in the air where he can use his uair for even more healing. Of course, the Item Tree can ignore Exeggutor while he heals to make more items, potentially making him regret leaving the Item Tree alone.

Nicely done Senga. Glad to see somebody was able to get a good shot of her.
Great shots Moose. Nice being able to see stars in those shots.

Fred, great shots as always man!
Very nice Mark! seeing these shots, I don't think I'll be disappointed if next time I'm down they're on 13s in the evening.
Glad you could make it down Bob and hang out on Sunday. Looks like you did fairly well with the tough lighting conditions at Inwood for he time of day you were there.
Thank you very much. Sad to say, no the location that Air India was taken from was inside the fence and not accessible to everyone.

Dang! Wish this was on friday instead of today!
Looks like you had a good outing there Mark. Well done.
Thanks Kaz, Fasil and Eric. Nice work on the morning shots Eric
Thank you all very much for all your kind words.
Now that I'm on "summer hours" and get out of work at noon on Fridays, I took advantage of that and headed to JFK last friday knowing the Dreamlifter was scheduled to arrive.
I have got to get up there! Very nice!
Rich those shots are amazing! Where was the Virgin Atlantic and Pink Delta taken from?
Love those different SXM shots. Great work
Very nicely done Nick!
Thanks Adam. Was great meeting you a few weeks ago. Looking forward to coming back down to CLT when i get some more free time.
Thanks Jared and Isaac. You guys had some terrific shots as well.
Great shots Fred.
Went to CLT for some races the past two weekends. Finally getting to editing some of my photos..here are a few from my second trip down. Of course they were on the 36s and not 18s.
Last weekend I had the opportunity to get my foot in the door with credentials at the Charlotte Motor Speedway by shooting at their dirt track for the World of Outlaws and FASTRAK Late Models event. ...
Didn't think I was going to make it to the show this year since I was out of town, but managed to arrange my flights so I could be back late saturday and get out to FRG on Sunday.
Moose, nice work on that 767 freighter especially considering the harsh lighting we had. I still haven't touched any of those photos yet.
See you Saturday Felipe

Going Back to School. Balancing Family and College
Going back to school as an adult learner can often times be tough when you have a family. Making time for both may seem like an impossible task – but it doesn't have to be, well, impossible. Here are a few things to remember when taking on the challenging act of balancing family and college.
Stay organized. It is always a good rule of thumb to keep school and family separate, unless it comes to your calendar. Keeping a combined calendar of school related tasks and family events will keep you ahead of the game, organized and help avoid scheduling conflicts. Just make sure you color code to easily distinguish between schoolwork and family obligations.
Consider the non-traditional approach. You are in a unique position, so consider going back to school in a unique way. Nowadays, it is easier than ever to earn a degree from the comfort of your own home. Online courses are often times quicker, more affordable and flexible with your time. While online learning may be more convenient, it is still important to remember to set aside separate time for your family and time for schoolwork.
Ask for help. Don't expect perfection. Whether it's asking your professor for an extension, or a loved one or close friend helping you transport the kids to and from, it's okay to ask for help. Let the appropriate people in your life know your situation. They will be more likely to help you during those times when you have too much on your plate and feel like your world is spinning out of control.
Be realistic. You are not a superhero – you can't be everywhere at once. It comes down to prioritizing your time. Sometimes you will have to give up going to a dance recital to study for an exam. Although decisions like this may be tough, you need to think about the reasons why you are going back to school in the first place. Do you want a better life for you and your family, or maybe you just want a better job – whatever the reason may be, it is important to stay focused on the ultimate goal.
Being a full-time parent and a college student can be extremely challenging, but if you prioritize your time and stay focused, the challenge will be well worth your success in the end.
