Free points are my favorite kind and it's been a while since we've seen a social media freebie, so I was happy to read on One Mile at a Time that you can get an easy breezy 1,000 Club Carlson points for liking them on Facebook.
Click here and then hit the "Like" button.
Enter your Goldpoints number and email and you'll get confirmation that the points will be deposited within 2-3 weeks. It takes 50,000 Carlson points to get a top tier Radisson Blu free night (conservatively valued at $300) so I value 1/50th of that at $6. For 1 minute of my time, that's not so bad- if I got that 40 hours a week, I'd be banking $748,800 a year! Okay, maybe I'm getting a little too excited over the free points, but you might as well do this- every points counts.
Even if you don't like Facebook or want Carlson to get your info, you can always create a dummy Facebook account that you use to get all of these free points/promos. Though for me, I actually like "liking" my favorite brands, because they often release insider scoops and special deals through social media channels.

- Cancellation cover for UK holiday bookings
- Policies from £15
- Instant cover available online
- Cover for people up to age 100
- Cover for relatives or colleagues who aren't travelling
- Cover for delays and breakdowns
- Unexpected accommodation costs up to £1000
- Compensation if beaches are closed
Welcome to Guest First Insurance.
Holiday Cancellation Insurance for UK travellers.
Booked your holiday? Great. But don't forget to book your holiday cancellation insurance too. It's a vital part of any UK based holiday. Why? Because your holiday booking is a legally binding contract, which means that you could be liable for the full cost of the holiday if you are forced to cancel for any reason. You may also lose your deposit.
However, you can insure the entire cost of your booking with Guest First from as little as just £15 per booking. It could save you hundreds of pounds if the worst came to the worst and you had to cancel – for whatever reason. The policy will cover you for illness, accidents, jury service, if your house is flooded or any personal disasters that mean you have to cancel or curtail your holiday. We'll even cover you if a relative or close business associate falls ill.
It's a small price to pay for peace of mind!
Booking your cover
Arranging cover – and getting a quote – is easy. You can either call us on 0845 90 80 101, or get an instant quote using our online quote engine. It takes just minutes. You can get an idea how much your policy is likely to cost on our 'PREMIUMS' page.
But don't forget to book your cover as soon as you have booked your holiday!
Cover for non-UK holidays
Going further this year? We also provide medical travel insurance for worldwide holidays through World First Travel Insurance, offering instant quotes and immediate cover, including online screening for 1000s of pre-existing medical problems.
Get a quote for a non-UK holiday HERE.
Getting an instant quote is easy and takes minutes. Just let us know a few details about you and your trip. We can also get you on cover straight away.

Help!... OSUMC RN Internship/Residency Graduates
- 0Dec 6, '09 by **All Heart RN**Are there any OSUMC RN Internship/Residency Graduates out there?
I've been offered an interview for their program and am looking for any hints/tips you may have. It's a panel interview and the program is extremely competitive...so any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for your help
- 0Dec 6, '09 by NewDeb07Hi ,
I can't offer any help. It has been 10 years since I did a panel interview and it was in a totally different area. I did have a question though. How did you get the interview for the OSU program? Did you just apply, go there personally,etc. I am an OSU grad in a different area. I hope to start at WSU in March for nursing though. I would love to move back to Columbus when I am done with my program.
- 0Dec 6, '09 by **All Heart RN**You have to apply online to their RN Internship/Residency program. They will only accept applications for this program online. You also have to submit 2-3 letters of recommendation from clinical instructors/RN managers (if you're a PCT).
- 1Dec 6, '09 by NewDeb07Thanks for the info. Good Luck on your interview I am sure you will do great!
- 0Dec 18, '09 by craving-jannahwsuchic1, did you have your interview already? How did it go? I am also interested in the OSU internship program and any advice you could offer would be great. Thanks.
- 1Dec 23, '09 by **All Heart RN**Hi Jannah!
Sorry, it's taken me a few days to respond...I just saw your post. I had my interview about two wks ago and I think it went well. It was a panel interview (a RN manager from the Heart Hospital, RN recruiter and RN Educator, the assistant director of the program was supposed to be there but couldn't make it). It was very stressful but they were really nice and tried to put me at ease.
I would suggest becoming a PCT...the director of the program stressed the importance of doing an externship, if possible, and working as a PCT (preferably on the unit that you'd like to work on after you graduate). The Internship/Residency program has been in place for 10 years and really seems like an impressive/supportive program. It includes not only additional classes specific to the track you apply for but also orientation to all of the equipment that you'll be using on the unit.
It's a competitive program...out of over 200 apps, only around 50 or so are chosen. I hope I'm one of the 50...I'll know soon. I think they have a Career Exploration Day event that is held every year. The last one was about 3 wks ago. I don't know when you plan on applying but this would be a great event for you to attend. They'll provide you with all kinds of info concerning the Internship/Residency program and they will also give you a tour of the building/unit for the track that's of interest to you.
Good luck!
- 0Dec 28, '09 by foreverLaurPlease keep us updated on the position!!
How much experience do they want as a PCT? I did it for 8 months and just quit. I started in med/surg and switched to float and I really did feel like I quit learning. My job became so mundane I didn't even have to think about it... I'd like to avoid going back during nursing school, especially since my nursing knowledge will be even higher... I already got frustrated with the limitations put on me!
I do plan on doing a summer externship during my summer off in nursing school, however... hopefully in acute care.
- 0Dec 31, '09 by **All Heart RN**Quote from foreverLaurWell, here's an update:Please keep us updated on the position!!

I was offered a position at OSU!!!...and I was also offered another position with a very prestigious hospital. I don't know how I'm going to make a decision. Guess it's time to whip out a sheet of paper and compare pros to cons.
This is gonna be a tough decision to make...
To answer your question about PCT experience-the associate director of the program stressed how much they want their candidates to have some experience as a PCT but she didn't specify length of time. She also told me that it's a very competitive program, so I guess you would want to have as much experience as possible to make yourself stand out. I started out working as a float PCT full-time and then switched to "Pool". Switching to a pool position was the best option for me because I made up my own schedule...I worked as much and as little as I wanted so that I could schedule around care plan assignments, clinicals, and papers.
- 0Dec 31, '09 by **All Heart RN**Quote from achieverI was accepted into the Ross Heart Hospital track and I was also offered a position at another hospital...so, I have a tough decision to make.Wait, I'm confused.
You were accepted into the internship or you were offered another position? I interviewed for the internship at the James and they said I wouldn't hear either way until February. Am I out of the loop? I hate to be out of the loop.
HR told me yesterday that the Ross Heart Hospital track was the first to finish interviewing so don't fret...it sounds like other tracks may still be interviewing. If you haven't done so already, I would contact the Nurse Recruiter for your track.Last edit by **All Heart RN** on Dec 31, '09

How much does an appeal cost?
When are the filing fee and cost bond waived?
What is "in forma pauperis" relief?
How do I prove that I am entitled to in forma pauperis relief?
How do I request in forma pauperis relief?
How do I request "in forma pauperis" relief in an appeal from a criminal proceeding?
In most civil cases, the appealing party must pay a filing fee of $550 and post a cost bond of $500 in the district court. Instead of posting a cost bond (which must be purchased from an insurance or bonding company), the appealing party can deposit $500 with the district court administrator. See Minn. R. Civ. App. P. 107.01. The cost bond or deposit provides security for the payment of costs that may be awarded to the other parties, if the decision is affirmed on appeal.
In addition, if there was a hearing or trial in the district court, a typed version of the arguments and testimony presented may be required. This is called a transcript, and the appealing party must pay the court reporter to prepare the transcript and pay for all the required copies. The court reporter must file one original and one copy of the transcript with the district court (these will come to the Court with the rest of the file, and will be considered on appeal) and must also deliver copies of the transcript to all of the parties.
The appealing party will also have to pay for the copying and binding of his or her written arguments on appeal (called briefs), unless the court grants a motion to submit briefs that are stapled instead of bound.
No filing fee is required for certain types of appeals, including appeals from civil commitment proceedings under Minn. Stat. chapter 253B, public assistance appeals under Minn. Stat. chapter 256, or appeals from the denial of unemployment benefits under Minn. Stat. chapter 268 (Minn. R. Civ. App. P. 103.01, subd. 1). A filing fee also is not required for an appeal from an order in a criminal case ruling on a petition for postconviction relief (Minn. Stat. § 590.06).
The $500 cost bond is not required in a criminal case, a case arising in juvenile court (including juvenile delinquency and juvenile protection matters), a civil commitment proceeding under Minn. Stat. chapter 253B, a public assistance appeal pursuant to Minn. Stat. chapter 256, or an appeal from the denial of unemployment benefits under Minn. Stat. chapter 268 (Minn. R. Civ. App. P. 107.02). In an appeal from an order denying a petition for a writ of habeas corpus, a filing fee is required, but a cost bond is not (Minn. Stat. § 589.29).
No filing fee or cost bond is required when the appealing party has been authorized to proceed in forma pauperis under Minn. R. Civ. App. P. 109. You must obtain a new order to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal; an order that was issued when district court proceedings began is not sufficient, even if your financial circumstances are the same. You must obtain a new order from the judge whose decision you are appealing.
A party who cannot pay the expenses of the appeal may apply to the district court for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. If this relief is granted, the district court may waive the filing fee and the cost bond, and may require the state to pay the costs of preparing and copying the transcript. See Minn. R. Civ. App. P. 109.01. The parties can make a motion to the Court of Appeals for permission to file stapled briefs to avoid paying a printer to bind the briefs.
To proceed in forma pauperis, a party must establish that (a) he or she is indigent and (b) the appeal is not frivolous. To prove that a person is indigent, the district court will require proof that the person is receiving public assistance, is represented by legal aid or a volunteer attorney program based on low income, or does not have annual income in excess of 125% of the federal poverty guidelines (Minn. Stat. § 563.01, subd. 3). The federal poverty guidelines are based on total annual income and household size (number of people living together). The court administrator's office at the district level may have a chart showing the maximum income for a family of a specified size, or they may refer callers to the local public defender's office. The district court will usually require that the person seeking to proceed in forma pauperis fill out a "supplemental affidavit," and you should ask for that form in the county where your case was heard.
In civil cases, the procedure for seeking in forma pauperis relief is set out in Minn. R. Civ. App. P. 109.02. A motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal must be made to the district court or agency that issued the decision from which the appeal is taken, and it must be made at or before the time you file the appeal. Note that you must return to the same judge who issued the decision you are appealing.
The motion must include (a) an affidavit showing the party's inability to pay and (b) a copy of the party's Form 133 statement of the case showing the issues that will be raised on appeal. Most district courts have specific forms that they require for in forma pauperis applications. Be sure to include a copy of the motion that was filed with the district court or agency with your appeal papers when you file the appeal with the Clerk of the Appellate Courts. The Court of Appeals will not rule on your motion, but we need to know that you have made one in the district court.
In a civil case, a finding that the appealing party is indigent is not enough to allow in forma pauperis relief. The district court or agency must also find that the appeal is not frivolous. You do not have to prove that you will win on appeal, but your statement of the case must set out issues that will convince the district court, or the agency that handed down the decision, that the appeal has a sound basis and is not frivolous.
If the district court or agency denies a motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal, the party must (a) pay the $550 filing fee, post the $500 cost bond, and file a completed transcript certificate certifying that financial arrangements have been made with the court reporter; or (b) serve and file a motion in the Court of Appeals to review the order denying in forma pauperis status. These things must be done within 10 days of the order denying relief. If a motion is filed in the Court of Appeals, the party will not be allowed to present new information, so it is important that you provide complete information about your income and the issues you will raise on appeal to the district court with the motion to proceed in forma pauperis.
An indigent defendant may be entitled to representation by the State Public Defender's Office on appeal from a judgment of conviction or from an order denying postconviction relief. Even if the Public Defender's Office is not required to represent the appealing party, a determination by the Public Defender's Office that the party is indigent will result in waiver of the filing fee and the Public Defender's Office may pay transcript expenses.

We also guarantee our services and installations in order to promise in writing that our clients are receiving the highest standards of service and installation excellence within the HVAC industry. Welcome to great service!
Long before Randy Van Den Elzen, owner of Van's, began his business he had found his passion in heating and air conditioning. This passion was founded in the knowledge and belief that heating and air conditioning was more than just a machine pushing hot or cold air around, it also has the capacity to bring people personalized comfort and health.
With the advent of high efficiency equipment entering the market, the local industry lagged behind in updating itself. He also realized that many people had no idea what this new technology could do for them! Randy then did the only thing he could to spread the word, in 1979 he founded Van's Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc. His goal was, and still is, to have the highest quality customer service, bring the best products, and unmatched comfort and safety to people, their families, and their homes. Over the years Van's success stemmed from those goals, all of the Van's employees, and of course the loyal customers we serve every day.

Importance of Proper Diagnosis

|Fri, 03-15-2013 - 12:27pm
While most hemangiomas don't require surgery, it is important to seek help if it starts growing larger or you just have concerns as a parent. From a pediatric plastic surgeon:
"In our image-conscious society, looking normal or attractive is one important component to the psychological and emotional well-being of a child," said Dr. Kim. "A child as young as two years old is self-aware and recognizes that something about him or her is 'different'. A noticeable deformity, especially on the face, can negatively impact a child's self-esteem during critical years of development."
He added that a large hemangioma on a child's face, scalp or neck can be very difficult for parents as well. Parents feel frustrated and sad if their child is teased, and confront negative comments or long stares from family and strangers alike.

1. Exercise in the morning. The longer you put off your workout, the more likely you are to skip it. Avoid this common downfall by making your workout your number one priority. Give yourself enough time in the morning to comfortably fit in your workout. If necessary, set your alarm early. Beginning your day with exercise will increase your blood flow, warm up your muscles, rev your metabolism and increase your energy level for the entire day.
2. Eat a great breakfast. Create your daily energy reserve by eating a healthy breakfast. Begin the day with whole grain high fiber carbohydrates. Whole grain carbohydrates will help you to feel full longer and act as a fuel resource that provides a steady energy release.
3. Prepare for the day by bringing healthy snacks. Whether you are shopping or going to work, you will inevitably get hungry throughout the day. Make your choices in the morning when you are not so hungry. Consider bringing sliced apples or a banana to snack on when you are hungry.
4. Stay hydrated. Drinking water throughout the day will help you to feel more full and will keep your body functioning at peak levels.
5. Avoid high calorie "pick me up" energy drinks. There are many temptations for quick energy. Unfortunately, most of these quick pick me ups are high calorie short term energy sources that will leave you flat. If you prepare your body with a whole grain breakfast, hydrate and keep healthy snacks at hand these options will be less appealing.
6. Eat high protein foods for meals. Higher protein meal choices tend to fill you up and carry less calories than their high fat and highly refined food counterparts. If you select chicken, fish, or other lean protein sources, you will provide muscle building nutrients to your body while introducing less calories.
7. Avoid heavy snacks. Stay away from snacks and drinks that may carry high amounts of calories. These include cream based foods, foods that include cheese, items that contain high amounts of sugar, and high fat meats and dips. Consider steamed veggies, fruits, and lean cuts of meat.
8. Avoid high calorie soda, juice, and alcoholic beverages. Sodas, juices, wine, and mixed drinks may easily carry 200 calories per glass. If you drink four or five of these per day, you will likely gain a pound in just three days from these drinks alone. Drink water whenever possible.
9. At social gatherings, position yourself as far from the food table as possible. Avoid making every social situation about the food. Position yourself on the opposite side of the room so that each serving will require an additional trip to the food table. Only take small portions each time. Interact with as many guests as possible. It is more difficult to eat when you are socializing. Also if you do not hang at a table you will be less likely to take large portions of food.
10. Add a 10-minute workout before bed if your calorie intake was extra high. On particularly challenging days when you are not able to avoid as many holiday temptations as you would have liked to, consider ending your day with a quick workout. When your calorie intake is higher than usual, you can negate some of those calories by burning them off before going to sleep.
Follow these holiday fitness tips for a guilt free holiday season!

Spring Clean Your Family, House and Kids
Parenting expert offers tips on how teamwork, chore charts, and de-cluttering tactics can help parents tidy more than just dust bunnies
It's amazing. Parents are (usually!) diligent about changing oil to make the car runs smoothly or visiting the doctor for annual check-ups. But the most important part of our lives – family, house, kids – can unravel quickly in piles of "to do'" and "should've dones" – if we don't have good systems in place for staying organized and systematic with daily tasks.
Internationally recognized parenting expert Amy Kossoff Smith – a mom of three boys who offers "tips and tools for the business of motherhood" at The MomTini Lounge – says, "We can take the 'spring cleaning' cliche a step further this year, by applying that same enthusiasm and fervor to our family, house, kids this year." (And no, that doesn't mean spraying Windex on junior!)
The key benefit, she adds, is that moms' (and dads') "energy deficit" at the end of each day can dramatically decrease, making parents feel more confident, satisfied, and "uncluttered."
Teamwork is key
Too often, it's easier to do the job ourselves than to engage the help of others. We promote teamwork through sports, put our kids in uniforms to celebrate the "membership" with their peers. But too often, Smith says, we forget to implement it at home.
"Consider a 'team' meeting where the family sets aside a certain time each week to put together a game plan," she suggests. "After dinner, put on some fun music, and tell everyone it's a clean-up party until the job is done."
Make chores work
Smith knows it's a chore to make chores work – but it's also one of her favorite topics. She advocates giving chores creative titles to increase kids' enthusiasm (and compliance!).
For example, the "electrician" turns off the lights, while the "assistant chef" helps at mealtime. It takes a bit of effort to set up a chore system, but imagine the relief when half of your "to do list" is being done by others.
Plus, Smith says, "You're helping your children not only develop a work ethic early on, but you're showing them a healthy dynamic in a family where everyone makes a valuable and necessary contribution."
Post responsibilities
Try posting a chore chart, Smith suggests – especially when kids are young, so they see what's expected of them. "Think about age-appropriate jobs for everyone in the house, and consider varying the tasks every so often to prevent 'chore fatigue.'
"Kids can help at any age," she continues. "Little ones can sort laundry; big kids can do laundry. Guaranteed, our kids' electronic games and consoles are more complicated than a washer/dryer, but we're hesitant to get them to help, or we're tired of asking over and over again. Just do it! You'll be glad you did, and your kids will feel satisfaction after a job well done."
Use a write-on/wipe-off chart where kids can check off completed jobs – or any system that works for your family.
Chart it!
Smith is a huge fan of "charting" tasks, to-do's and important info. Her favorite is tracking medical history, or recording family member's major illnesses (sniffles, step aside – rather, track whenever you go on antibiotics or have big medical events).
"This gives you a reference point – and also helps your doctor prescribe the most effective path to wellness, especially if you keep notes about what works, what doesn't, what gives you problems when you take it," she says. "This same philosophy can apply to carpools, birthday party RSVPs and gifts, and more." In other words, if you organize it in categories, you'll be able to accomplish (and track) it much more easily.
De-clutter closets
The change of seasons is a perfect time to prescribe the "out with the old, in with the new" spirit. "Plastic bins can be your best friend," Smith says. "They let you store things neatly, and you can see through for quick access later on!"
Buy a variety of sizes and styles, and store out-of-season items by category (hats, gloves in one; winter sports uniforms in another – and so on). Plastic bins can also stack to store in-season items you'll need to find quickly. Choose containers that'll close and stack, so you can find it when you need it (think sunscreen, swim goggles, flip flops).
They're also great for weeding out out-grown duds: "I keep an empty box in each kid's closet with a Post-it note that says 'too small' so they can dump as they go," Smith adds, "rather than putting that tight pair of jeans back into circulation in their own closet week after week."
De-clutter garages and common areas
De-cluttering is really the "heart and soul" of a spring cleanup, Smith says, so it deserves more detail. "The garage becomes a dumping ground for so many things," she says. "Let your kids play on the driveway if they're old enough while you attack the beast!"
Think about other areas (foyer closet, powder room cabinets) that could use a purge, too, and trash or donate unused items to make space.
So, even if your spring cleanup turns into a summer activity, you now have a game plan and some easy tactics to get the job rolling.

Yes GAWD Hunty! Thursday night (8-9-12), TV One threw an ole NASTY premiere party for their new reality tv series R&B Divas, and The Doll was all up in the mix. When I got the invite to the party, it came with a warning that went, "can you please tell Funky Dineva to be nice." Let me first say I am not mean or nice, I am truthful. I report for the people, the way it happened .The truth isn't republican or democratic, its independent. With that being said, get into these TRUTHS as I give you the run down on the night…
The event was held at Ventanas, one of Atlanta's premiere event spaces. Bay-Bay after the sun went down, the nasty views that this place has were the perfect backdrop to what was going to be a good night. When we pulled up to the venue the line was wrapped around the building with well dressed, good smelling folks who had come out to get their party on. You could feel the spirit of positivity in the air.
As I was walking up to the door, all I could think to myself was, TV One better not pull it. The food and the liquor better be free! lol. Once past security, and onto the elevator, the anticipation began to mount. The elevator doors opened and BAM, a room with panoramic views of Atlanta, comfortably packed with all the who's who of Black Hollywood. The moment I stepped off the elevator I was assured that this was the place to be. First stop, THE BAR.
Needless to say, the liquor was FREE and so were the photo ops! Good Job TV One!!!
The room was jammed packed with the usual local Atlanta celebrities. But one in particular that I got the chance to chat with for about 15 minutes was Lele Lyons from SWV. By now i was good and cocktailed, so I had a very candid conversation with LeLe. It went something like this, "Lele girl, no T no shade, but up until this last cd y'all put out, we didn't know you could even sing." She laughed but nodded her head in understanding. We chatted it up a bit more and she agreed to do a sit down interview with The Doll. Y'all know I love me some SWV. If you have not heard their latest CD, I Miss Us, you must buy it now! [SWV TURNED IT!!!!! NEW ALBUM, "I MISS US" REVIEW]
Like I said, everybody was out! Y'all get the point. Get into the rest of the pictures and the video. Be sure to tune into R&B Divas on TV One August 20th…
The R&B Divas introduce themselves and sing Happy Birthday to Whitney Houston at Atlanta Premiere Party
Notice in the video how Faith kept fanning herself? It did get a lil hot up in there. Check out the pics. By the end of the night my poor lil hairdo was done!

"Learning Flora's intuitive painting process has been quite profound. It re-connected me to the most important part of my being-my passionate, creative heart. Incredible!" Loren Griffyn
Sharing some more of the fantastic paintings that have come out of Bloom True: the e-course. Next class starts June 11! It is very special…
"Growing up in a Cree community in Canada's north, cradled by the boreal forest and abundant lakes, I have finally learned how to incorporate the pictographs and stories of my youth with the canoes I have been painting. Thank you so much for this gift." Veronica Funk
"Layering colors and making a commitment to the creative process brought me so much surprise and awe. I'm grateful for the class and the process." Lisa Sypher
"Paint is not my normal medium, but I think that this course was just awesome! I had a blast and thoroughly enjoyed myself!" Paula Dickerhoff
"This painting reflects my struggle to be born confident and strong from the cocoon, blossoming in the end like the Lotus flower." Angela True
"This canvas represents the techniques I learnt during Bloom True, but also my newfound sense of confidence and freedom in applying layers and creating textures. I was amazed how the central image emerged organically from the process. This – and the sheer FUN I had – kept me coming back to the easel… even when bold moves didn't result in something immediately beautiful." Kat McNally
"Magical experience, I enjoyed every moment, from the lessons, videos and interaction with others, to seeing paintings evolve from all over the world was just wonderful." Tracey Williams
"My paintings are so alive I can't believe I did them. I felt as though I woke up from a prison of creativeness and was given permission to do what my heart told me to. Thank you!!!" Miriam Miller
"This painting went through a very awkward teenager phase then I committed to a color palette and it bloomed! Never give up!" Lucie Duclos
"I let this painting, which represents HOPE to me, express my deep gratitude for this truly joyful and releasing painting experience." Janne Bergstøl
"Adding the intuitive method of your e-course to my painting has provided me a fresh approach and a new layer of enjoyment." Lynn Rizzotto
See the other gallery posts here: part 1 / part 2 / part 4 / part 5
Do you want to discover a new way of painting? The next session of Bloom True the e-course begins on June 11.
Let go. Be Bold. Unfold.

If you're looking to incite a brawl, bring up chili. Why? Because everyone believes their region's style is not only the best, but the one true path to chili enlightenment. Review this chili primer before Sunday's big game, and keep in mind that modifications abound.
Cincinnati-style: Made with ground beef, this saucy chili is served over spaghetti. Some even ladle it into a hot dog buns and shower it with cheese.
White Chili: Chicken or turkey-based and with Great northern beans, white chili gets its kick from green chiles like jalapenos or serranos.
Vegetarian Chili: Anything goes here, so long as it's spicy and meatless. My go-to veggie chili is this black bean version I developed a few years back.
Finally, chili is nothing without the proper sides: think lime wedges, sour cream, Cheddar and Jack, tortillas, and warm squares of thick-cut cornbread.

Laguna Gloria
Everybody who reads my blog on a regular basis knows I love shooting at AMOA Laguna Gloria. So when I was asked by Kelly if I wanted to shoot her e-pics there I jumped on the chance. Normally I like to schedule the shoot a litle later in the day, especially in the summer when it's not so hot, but in order to meet everybody's schedule, we decided that 4:00 in the afternoon would be the best time. And was it ever!
All in all we spent an hour walking the grounds, finding all the best spots, and just having a great time. There were well over 100+ incredible shots, and the couple will get all of them on the CD so they can do whatever they want with them. By the way – if you do hire me, I love to see how you use the photos. One couple even made a custom CD of their favorite songs and handed it out as a wedding favor. And on the cover of the CD case was one of their engagement pics.
Anyway, these two were so very cute together. At first, as always, things were a bit stiff, as they didn't know what to expect, but after 10 minutes or so, they were super relaxed in front of the camera. Enjoy your photos!

As a wedding photographer, I get to see all the cool new trends before the brides actually use them at their weddings. Yesterday I saw a wedding venue with an open kitchen. What a great idea. It was at the fantastic Austin wedding venue, Laguna Gloria, and the event was the annual ISES spring membership drive.
All the greatest Austin wedding vendors were there (I won't mention any of them, so I don't leave anyone out). Of course I took a few photos, and some are posted here, and the rest of the event pictures are in the gallery. Feel free to download as many of the shots as you want. The gallery won't be active forever, so do it now, before you forget, and you can blog about them when you get a chance.
If you were there, what was your favorite part? Let everyone know in the comment section below.

Khowst Province, Afghanistan – Some people search their entire life for signs telling them what to do. For Erika Espeseth, it was a billboard for military chaplaincy that pointed her in the direction she had been searching for.
She finally knew what she wanted in life: a life of ministry and service.
In January 2010, she would agree to enlist as a chaplain's assistant half-way through her senior year of high school, something she never thought possible.

Fort Campbell, KY – Soldiers are not just in the Army – they are the Army, and when they overcome personal hurdles, the Army is that much stronger from it.
Resiliency training is just one part of the Army's holistic, multi-disciplinary approach to suicide prevention. Discussing theories and practical techniques to integrate into every day activities provides soldiers and their families essential tools for success.
"Soldier resiliency is a soldier's ability to bounce back from adverse situations much wiser, stronger, and better equipped," said Capt. Vincent L. Hardy, the chaplain for 7th Squadron, 17th Cavalry Regiment. "Each experience shows a person a new facet about themselves and it brings out new coping mechanisms. The bottom line is that the information, if utilized, can help a person or family unit bounce back from adversity wiser and stronger." «Read the rest of this article»

Fort Campbell, KY – Those who have been and are part of the U.S. Army will be the first to tell you that the great history of the organization and the units within, is a strong part of the esprit de corps for all soldiers.
Those who serve are proud of the footprint they leave as part of the newer history but there are only a small few who can sit generations from now, open a history book and point themselves out by name.

Brillon, a native of San Diego, CA, began his Army career in 1998 as a personnel specialist and stayed in that field for six-and-a-half years. Despite his dedication to the job, Brillon felt that he was meant for something else.

Max Hetzel invented the first acoustic frequency wristwatch, which used a tuning fork instead of a balance wheel as the time standard. Born in Basel, Switzerland, in 1921, Hetzel earned a master's degree in electronics from the Federal Polytechnic University in Zurich in 1945. He was hired by the Bulova Watch Company in 1950 to develop automated production equipment for the company's factory in Switzerland. In 1952 he turned his attention to inventing a tuning fork watch at the request of company president Arde Bulova, who was concerned about the recent announcements by Elgin and Lip that they would soon have an electric watch on the market. Hetzel chose the tuning fork as the best option, and by 1955 he had eight working prototypes.
Chief engineer William Bennett took Hetzel's prototypes to Bulova's facility in Jackson Heights, New York, where work began on a production model. Bennett, along with Egbert Van Haaften and William Mutter worked for four years to produce a commercially viable product. In 1959 Max Hetzel left Switzerland for Bulova's New York plant, where he oversaw the final developments. Finally, on October 25, 1960 the Bulova Accutron inwas introduced to consumers.
The Accutron was an immediate success, and it sold well throughout the 1960s. The Accutron was the most accurate wristwatch before the invention of the quartz watch. Bulova claimed the watch's accuracy to be within only a few seconds per day, ten times more accurate than a fine mechanical watch at that time. The arrival of the Accutron challenged watch companies around the world to create even more accurate watches. From this competition, the quartz watch emerged.

Cubs' dreaming for 2014 already feels delusional
BY RICK MORRISSEY Sports Columnist March 31, 2014 9:42PM
Updated: May 2, 2014 6:28AM
PITTSBURGH — Cubs manager Rick Renteria said his team will ''reach for the stars'' this season.
I've heard of ''seeing stars.'' That's what happens when you get hit in the head by a fly ball. I've heard of ''Reach for the sky!'' That's what a robber says when holding up someone at gunpoint and what the Cubs say when selling you a ticket.
But ''the 2014 Cubs'' and ''reaching for the stars'' in the same sentence? What could that mean?
''For any team to 'reach for the stars' is to win the World Series,'' Renteria said Monday. ''And I don't think that you can attain that unless you talk about it and you're working through what you need to do in order to get there. I'm not afraid to talk about it. That's what we want to do.''
This guy is to positive thinking what a giraffe is to height. But his team isn't good. I'm positive.
Reaching for the stars? How about reaching home plate? The Cubs lost their opener 1-0 in 10 innings Monday thanks to an inability to generate offense — that and a walk-off homer by the Pittsburgh Pirates' Neil Walker.
It was only one game, but it had an ominous feel to it, as if there's more where that came from. The Cubs had six hits, four of which came off the bat of leadoff hitter Emilio Bonifacio. Anthony Rizzo went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts. As a team, the Cubs struck out 11 times.
''I thought we had some good at-bats,'' Renteria said afterward.
What's the line between being optimistic and looking like a rah-rah with a weak grip on reality? I have the feeling the Cubs' new manager is going to be stomping on it all season long.
As of Monday morning, everybody seemed to be aboard the Happy Express.
''We've got, like, everything to be a winning team,'' said shortstop Starlin Castro, who went 0-for-3. ''We've got good pitching. We've got guys with power, guys who can run. What you need to be a winning team, we've got it. If we can be together and help each other, we'll be all right.''
Castro doesn't have much familiarity with what a Cubs winner looks like. He was called up in early 2010, their ''best'' season in the last four years, when they went 75-87.
''I think we'll win more games and maybe surprise the other people who don't believe in us,'' Castro said.
It's not just Renteria and Castro spreading cheer.
''I think we have a team right now that can go to the playoffs,'' team chairman Tom Ricketts said in February.
Look, I don't want to burst the Cubs' bubble. I don't think there's a bubble to burst. They're saying the things they think they're supposed to be saying. But then you see the product they rolled out onto the PNC Park field, and you know the folly of what they're selling.
Starter Jeff Samardzija was more than good enough to win Monday, giving up five hits over seven innings. But if the Cubs are going to hit like this for him, he'll probably want to get traded by the end of the week. They didn't look any better than the team that lost 96 games last season.
How does a ballclub stay positive when all the evidence suggests another dreadful season ahead? It's a fair question, devoid of subjectivity. The Cubs will not be good. Now, how do they handle that?
''I think our goal is to go out and surprise some people,'' president of baseball operations Theo Epstein said. ''I don't think expectations are that high externally. And we have a tough schedule early, so we can certainly turn the narrative on its head by going out and having a good first month of the season. So that's the goal starting [Monday].''
As it turned out, the narrative had nothing to fear in the opener. In the fifth inning, Samardzija bunted into a 1-5-4 double play, which is hard to do. Renteria challenged the call at first base and lost on the video review. That's how it went.
In the eighth, Bonifacio got nailed in a rundown between third and home. Then Rizzo popped out to third to end the inning. That's how it went, too.
Renteria was undeterred after the game, saying both teams ''played to the end.'' That certainly was true.
''Ricky is who he is,'' Epstein said. ''He's very positive, very enthusiastic.''
Let's see what he looks like in August.

Elle Fanning's Short Film 'The Likeness' Shows a Haunting Look at Eating Disorders [VIDEO]

Elle Fanning stars in the short film 'The Likeness,' which depicts an all-too-real look at life with an eating disorder.
Clear eyes and full hearts don't seem to have done 'Friday Night Lights' fans any good after all, as following endless speculation of a big-screen return for the high school football drama, executive producer Peter Berg has officially given up on a 'Friday Night Lights' movie.
When you think of M. Night Shyamalan you think of the "Sixth Sense" (if you haven't seen it and don't know about the movie and want to see it stop reading here). You think of little Haley Joel Osment and those quiet words, "I See Dead People." Well, I just found out something today that was the equivalent of the shock when I realized Bruce Willis was dead the whole time in the "Sixth Sense." It was a movie that M. Night Shyamalan wrote.
I'll admit it, I was a fan of "A Nightmare on Elm Street" series. Freddy was a mean, burnt piece of evil, and those blades on his hand, uh, no thank you. Well it turns out, the house where Nancy resided when Freddy tortured her dreams, is now for sale.
I, like most people, first enjoyed the acting talents of Anne Hathaway in "The Princess Diaries". Then I fell in love with her in "The Devil Wears Prada". Anne Hathaway is a class act.
I have been fighting off a cold and sickness since Thursday and I finally had some down time yesterday. While I was laying around and resting on the couch I was able to watch some really great movies. Even though they aren't new movies here is my take on them in case you haven't had a chance to watch.
'Coraline' is one of my favorite movies. Ethan loves 'Coraline' as well. It is one of those movies we can watch over and over and never get tired of, however, it looks like we might have a new movie to fall in love with. From the makers of 'Coraline' comes 'ParaNorman'. These movies are made with stop action photography and it is a daunting task. See how the creators made ''ParaNorman'.
James Holmes threw tear gas and opened fire in a theater in Aurora, Colorado last night during a midnight screening of the new Batman movie, "The Dark Knight Rises," killing 14 and injuring 50.
This weekend, you'll have your choice between a goofy comedy, watching things blow up, and a tale about the joys and perils of new parenthood.
Limited releases aside, there's only one movie you need to worry about seeing this weekend — Tim Burton's 'Dark Shadows.'
Planning to head to the movies this weekend? You'll have your choice of being entertained by cute animals, a sappy romance, or the perils and pitfalls of adult relationships.

It would have been interesting to see whether the parse and execute counts are updated at the end of the respective call (as opposed to at the start); in your test, both parse and execute calls were too short for this to matter, but as soon as significant DML comes into play...
Also, I think the CPU usage statistic gets updated at the end of each user call (as opposed to "when the statement completes," as you put it).
Cheers,

Tom Lindquist Named To American Forest Foundation Board Of Trustees
Tom Lindquist, Plum Creek's chief operating officer, recently joined the American Forest Foundation's Board of Trustees. The American Forest Foundation (AFF), a nonprofit 501 (c) 3, works nationwide and in partnership with local, state and national groups to provide on-the-ground support to America's 10 million family forest owners, giving them the tools they need to manage healthy and sustainable woodlands. The American Tree Farm System® (ATFS), a program of AFF, is the largest and oldest sustainable woodland system in America, internationally recognized, and meets strict third-party certification standards. ATFS-certified Tree Farmers are managing 27 million acres of forestland and follow Eight Standards of Sustainability in their management activities.
Plum Creek conducts its business with a strong commitment to the environment. All Plum Creek manufacturing facilities provide a preference for wood from lands third-party certified to credible programs, including ATFS and the Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI) Standard. Plum Creek lands are entirely certified to the SFI® Standard, which combines the perpetual growing and harvesting of trees with the long-term protection of wildlife, plants, soil and water quality. SFI recognizes ATFS-certified forest content through SFI's Chain of Custody certification.
"Plum Creek is proud to recognize ATFS, SFI and other credible forest certification standards and to unite with other forest products companies to advocate for the growth of certification standards like ATFS and SFI," said Lindquist. "We recognize that consumers choose products they believe contribute to a healthy environment. ATFS, SFI and other certified wood sources provide an important measure of assurance toward meeting sustainable forestry expectations."
"We are excited that Tom's leadership on our Board will help promote the value of ATFS-certified wood sources. Our Tree Farmers are ready, willing and very able to provide Plum Creek customers with a steady supply of certified forest content to demonstrate a commitment to sustainable forestry," said Tom Martin, President and CEO of AFF. "Strong markets for ATFS-certified wood helps family forest owners reinvest in their woodlands, which helps rural economies, while providing many other public benefits such as clean air and water, wildlife habitat and recreational opportunities," added Martin.

The recent fuel hike in Nigeria from #65 - #141 has been challenged nationwide by Nigerians, because they believe it would further impoverish an average Nigerians. This made some civil society groups in Lagos South-West Nigeria, to mobilise people in the State and insist that the Nationwide strike would still take place notwithstanding the Federal Government order that the Nations Labour Union should put a stop to the protest.
Coalition for Democracy and the Rule of Law and Civil Society Intervention Group, led some Lagosians in a Pre Anti Fuel Subsidy Protest in preparation for Monday Nationwide Strike and Protest.
The Group was led by Comrade Debo Adeniran, Comrade Ayodele Akele and Comrade Biodun Sowunmi, as they enjoined Nigerians to come out in protest to liberate there future generation from poverty and mental torture because the recent increase in the price of fuel would further impoverish Nigerians.
Comrade Debo stressed that Nigerians will hold President Jonathan responsible for the any loss of lives that would result from the nationwide strike because Nigerians have the right to protest against his administration injustice and rascality. Also Comrade Akele charged the people to DARE TO FIGHT AND DARE TO WIN, because the present administration is strategically impoverishing the masses to reduce their level of resistance and out-outspokenness.
Most of the protesters expressed their anger due to fuel hike, and promised to occupy the streets of Lagos as they also called on other Nigerians to come out en masse in different parts of the country, to demand for a reversal of the pump price of petrol.

I've seen these fluoro animals floating around Pinterest for ages now and had them bookmarked to try.
I had some paint left over from the little geometric painting I did last weekend, so I thought it was the perfect time to make good on the make-overs I'd been promising these little guys!
This is a really cute kids project, perfect for a Spring update on all those animals in the toy box.
- Plastic animals (recycle some from the kids' room)
- Acrylic paints
- Paint brush
- Glitter
Tip: Use a selection of contrasting fluoro, gold and silver colours to make your animals pop.
Step 01: Paint all of your animals with a base coat of white.
I painted on two layers to make sure all the original colours were covered nicely.
Step 02: Divide up the sections of your animal and paint each section a different colour.
Be bold and mix and match contrasting colours.
Step 03: Get your glitter on and cover the feet and tails and trunks with some sparkle.
Contrasting glitter grain size is fun too.
Step 04: To make sure your house doesn't become a glitter festival as the kids play with these, apply a clear layer of Mod Podge or sealer.
This will keep the glitter in place and your sanity in tact!
I love how these turned out – they're bright, bold and completely over-the-top!
Have you tried this cute trick before? Link up in the comments so I can check out your cute animals too.
