"Given all the scandals the Church has been involved in, what possible right can it have to be preaching about the morality of sleeveless dresses?" said one woman in her seventies.Oooooohhhhhhhhh snap!
Just for shits and giggles, here's a photo of my mom and me in St. Peter's Square when we visited Italy 10 years ago. I would have been 12 in this photo:Wait...NO SLEEVES?! I didn't realize my mother was such an infidel! How did we enter the basilica without bursting into flames?!

Dennis Severs, my uncle, was born on this day in 1948. He passed away in 1999, and his restored Georgian home in Spitalfields is now a private museum. I occasionally post photos and stories from my visits to 18 Folgate Street, especially on special days like this one. Here are some favorites images. The black and white portrait is my uncle's high school senior picture, taken the same year he moved to London from Escondido, California. The others are from the mid-90s. Most of the photographs of the house were taken in 1997. A few of them were later used in the book that he spent years writing and re-writing. It was published after his death by Chatto & Windus, with the softcover version done by Vintage. Happy birthday, Dennis. You are missed. (And so are your parties.)

Best video ever+2
how incredibly true, and yet sad, pathetic and dispicable in it's reality.This is what destroyed our country.Letting people in who had absolutely no care or desire whatsoever to become Americans like all the different peoples who came over here long ago to creat our"melting pot" as it was called.95% of todays' immigrants come here for nothing else whatsoever but a job or a free ride thanks to communist traitors like barack osama.If it wasn't for immigrants like this, the Americans would have the numbers of proud individuals neccesary to start a revolution and force the constitution back in its' rightful use and guidance of our government.I told anyone that would listen, especially friends , family and co-workers over twenty years ago that this was going to happen and noone believed me.Noteworthy Comment +13
When some one breaks into your house you can bet they didn't do it to do your household chores.
They broke in to take something from you.+3
That's funny. But what IS going to happen is Americans will be flooding Mexico for surgeries and other medical care. (I go to Mexico for dental services and it is very good and very cheap.)+2
Someone should do this video: If MEH-hee-kan illegal aliens in the United States were treated like illegal aliens crossing MEH-hee-ko's southern border. Of course, it would not be suitable for work, children, people with weak stomachs, or brain-dead, knuckle-dragging, frothing-at-the-mouth liberals who think the truth can be racist — due to all of the rape, beatings, slavery, and child molestation that the MEH-hee-kan authorities inflict on illegals in their country.+2

Course description:
Dr. Emily A. Tobey: This presentation focuses on how speech perception, speech production, language, and literacy performance in children with hearing losses who use cochlear implants are influenced by a common set of predictor variables obtained during elementary school. High correlations occurred between outcome measures collected during elementary school sessions and the high school test sessions (ranging from .75 to .83). The highest performers in elementary school were also the highest performers in high school. Early difficulties associated with speech perception, speech production, and language tend to persist throughout the elementary and high school years. The most highly related areas were language and literacy. Children with the highest vocabulary and syntax skills achieved the highest literacy skills in high school. Speech perception and production also are highly related to one another. Speech perception and literacy received the lowest correlations. These analyses suggest early outcome performance persists and strongly influences later outcomes. Exploration of early factors impacting pre-school children will be introduced and discussed.
Dr. Barbara Friedman, Au.D., CCC-A: "Maximizing Auditory Input: A Team Approach" This presentation will provide a potpourri of information of how auditory performance is assessed, adjusted, and monitored to obtain the best outcomes. This will include suggestions on how equipment can be checked, and how the team (the child, parents, audiologists, speech/language pathologists, educators, and others) can and should monitor and collaborate to be certain auditory input is maintained so speech production and perception can be accomplished.
Erika R King, MA CCC-SLP, LSLS Cert AVT:
This portion of the presentation will focus on aural rehabilitation and what occurs in a pediatric aural rehabilitation session. Topics discussed will include communication modality, the decision-making process, and non-standard assessments for diverse caseloads. Other options for family support including a family support group will also be discussed
Sara M. Oberg, B.M., M.A., CCC-SLP: "Helping Children with Hearing Aids and/or Cochlear implants reach their full potential" This part of the presentation will provide information on how to help children with hearing loss who have hearing aids and/or cochlear implants reach their full potential in therapy and outside of therapy. It will also provide many resources, including iPad applications, which may foster auditory, as well as expressive and receptive language development. Finally, it will address the importance of a team approach to help children be successful and reach their full potential in terms of speech, language, and auditory skills.
Christie Kenney: "Resources to support professionals who work with children, families and adults." Materials for professionals will be discussed and will be based on all age groups. Cochlear implants can be used in various roles and settings, in clinics and at home, with CI, Baha and hearing aid recipients. Resources and information on resources will also be included for professionals or parents/recipients.
Christine Pett: "BRIDGE to Communication." Rehabilitation Resources for Educators and Professionals BRIDGE is a program developed by Med-El Corporation especially designed for education and rehabilitation professionals, implant users and parents to help BRIDGE the gap between implantation and the rapid development of improved listening skills and spoken communication.
Carly Alsbach, MSEd, LSLS Cert.AVEd: Advanced Bionics has developed a wide variety of free resources to support the development of listening and language skills for children and adults with hearing loss. She will introduce Baby Beats, The Listening Room, and the ABle app suite. Learn where you can access these resources and how they can be used to foster speech, language, and auditory skill development in children.
Upon Completion of this course, participants will be able to:

This collection comprises recordings by one of Australia's foremost artists, Dr James Gleeson AO, interviewing 98 Australian artists represented in the National Gallery of Australia (NGA).
This is a significant primary research collection unparalleled in Australian art. As well as his activity as a Surrealist painter, Gleeson, who died on 20 October 2008 at the age of 92, was also a poet, critic, writer and curator, and was a member of the NGA Council at the time of the interviews in the 1970s.
He brought a perspective to his interviews that provided profound and personal insights into the diverse creative processes, stories and meanings behind some of the nation's pre-eminent contemporary artists' works.
Some of the artists included in the oral histories are: Charles Blackman, John Brack, Judy Cassab, Jock Clutterbuck, John Coburn, Tony Coleing, Noel Counihan, Grace Crowley, Lyndon Dadswell, Alexsander Danko, Bob Dickerson, Sir Russell Drysdale, Leslie Dumbrell, Brian Dunlop, Leonard French, Rosalie Gascoigne, Murray Griffin, Elaine Haxton, Dale Hickey, Ian Howard, Vincas Jomantas, Grahame King, Robert Klippel, Alun Leach-Jones, Rosemary Madigan, Rodney Milgate, Alan Oldfield, Lenon Parr, Paul Partos, Stanislaus Rapotec, Lloyd Rees, Ken Reinhard, Ron Robertson-Swann, Bill Rose, William Salmon, Gareth Sanson, Martin Sharp, Eric Smith, Tim Storrier, Guy Stuart, Imants Tillers, Albert Tucker, Tony Tuckson, Guy Warren, Frank Watters and Brett Whiteley.
The interviews are accompanied by transcripts and 2000 reference photographs of the relevant artworks in the National Gallery's collection. Originally recorded on audiocassette, the oral histories have been digitised by the National Library of Australia and local Canberra radio station 92.7 Artsound FM.

Chinese soup spoons help toddlers feed themselves
Anything that helps toddlers feed themselves -- and not their laps or the floor -- is a good thing. From Laura:
Tis the season for soup! While recently eating soup at a japanese restaurant with our toddler, we discovered that he is able to handle the asian style spoons much easier. I think this is because the bowl of the spoon is relatively deep with steep sides and the handle is short, so it's easier for him to get a spoonful of soup from the table to his mouth without dumping it on his lap!
Absolutely! Asian soup spoons are usually ceramic, but one can find inexpensive and unbreakable stainless steel spoons at Asian and Indian markets (and Amazon, of course).

Grossman Delivers First Report to Investors at Boston Chamber
Treasurer Highlights Major Accomplishments During First Hundred-Plus Days
"On day one, our team began to implement a core group of policies and reforms aimed at improving the efficiency, transparency and cost-effectiveness of the Treasurer's Office and state government," said Treasurer Grossman. "These initiatives are in line with our over-arching goal of protecting the public's money, promoting growth, creating jobs, and enhancing the Commonwealth's competitiveness."
One of the top accomplishments cited by Grossman is the creation and implementation of the Small Business Banking Partnership, a $100 million initiative that makes individual deposits of up to $5 million into Massachusetts-based community banks. The reserve funds, otherwise held in large national or international financial institutions, are fully insured and are deposited with the understanding that the banks will expand their loan portfolio to small Massachusetts businesses. Presently, 11 community banks across the Commonwealth have received $5 million deposits apiece under the Small Business Banking Partnership, and another 35 are in the queue to participate in the program. Grossman said that response to the Partnership has been so robust that the initially envisioned $100 million in deposits will likely be expanded substantially.
"The concept of the Small Business Banking Partnership is simple. We invest Massachusetts taxpayer funds in Massachusetts community banks for them to lend to Massachusetts small businesses to help create Massachusetts jobs," said Grossman.
Grossman also pointed to recently implemented guidelines he championed at the Pension Reserves Investment Management (PRIM) Board as an example of a new way of thinking at the Treasury. The guidelines give more latitude for the stock holdings of the Commonwealth's pension fund to be voted in a way that not only enhances shareholder value, but also takes into consideration priorities such as diversity of boards of directors, sustainability or environmental concerns, and concerns over inflated executive compensation or "golden parachutes."
Giving more citizens the tools they need to invest their money wisely has also been a hallmark at the Treasury under Grossman. The Treasurer recently worked with the Governor and Legislature to enact legislation that creates a privately funded Financial Literacy Trust Fund, which provides targeted populations with key strategies on how to better manage and save their money. In addition, Grossman testified last month before the Joint Committee on Public Service to advocate House Bill 2411, legislation the Treasurer's Office crafted that would offer deferred compensation savings plans to more employees in the non-profit sector at no cost to the taxpayer.
Along with Governor Patrick, Grossman has been an outspoken advocate about the need for pension reform, particularly as it impacts the current positive perception that Wall Street has about the Commonwealth's fiscal management. Massachusetts is one of only two states since 2007 to receive a positive outlook in its credit rating from Standard and Poor's, and state officials are optimistic that continued prudent fiscal management may lead to a rating upgrade soon from that agency. Grossman said that this news, along with an existing AA+ rating from Moody's and Fitch, bodes well financially for the state when it goes to market with a major $518 million bond offering later this month.
Grossman also gave an update on his promise to post the Commonwealth's checkbook online, citing "the fundamental right of the Massachusetts taxpayer to know how every dime of their hard-earned money is spent." The Treasurer anticipates that the online checkbook will be available this fall.

Director Interview
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at McGladrey LLP in April 2013.
Email from recruiter to set up and confirm phone interview. She called me 15 minutes late, which cost half of the time she had allotted. She was clearly going down a list of pre-arranged questions, with no interest in my answers. Her response to everything I said was "good." She asked me the same question twice in a five minute span, evidently forgetting she had already asked me the question.
- None really, all pretty standard. The question she asked me twice was "what accomplishment was I the most proud of" Answer Question

My process consisted of 6 interviews. One over the phone with HR, 3 in the NYC office, 1 in the CT office and 2 over the phone. All feedback was positive, my references were checked and it seemed like it was just a matter of time before the offer came. I really liked everyone I had met with and felt really excited about working at McGladrey....until two days after the last interview, I received a phone call saying the company was going through some re-organization and the position was on hold!? WHAT? For 5 weeks I had rearranged my life to accomodate all these interviews! This can't be happening!!!! I was also told they needed to work out budgets---but shouldn't budgets be determined before a department starts looking to fill a position? HR said they would keep me posted and my "would be manager" said she would contact me after she returns from her vacation in mid-May.

Take Camp On The Road
At Camp Hanover, a Presbyterian camp outside Richmond, Va., that has sponsored traveling day camps since 1998, the differences are understood in two ways:
1. The focus of the program is on community building among the campers and enjoyment of God's creation.
2. Although each day's activities are based on a Bible story, the emphasis is not on facts, but shared experiences.
At Hanover, the total enrollment is limited to 32 campers who are then divided into four groups with one counselor. Part of the day is spent in small-group activities, and part is spent doing things together as a whole camp. The day begins and ends with a circle time that includes the daily Bible story, singing, announcements and prayer. A cookout is included in each week's schedule that introduces campers to building fires, preparing a simple meal, and cleaning up afterwards.
The congregational planning committee can decide whether to provide beverages for lunch and/or morning snacks, whether the day campers will go on a field trip during the week, and when to hold a program for parents. Camp sets the schedule for each day, including activities.
A parents' program on Thursday evening or Friday afternoon offers an opportunity to share the songs and stories campers have learned, and to provide information about the sponsoring camp. This is a chance to invite parents and campers to visit the camp and to consider attending. For some parents, it may be the first time they learn the camp exists!
The camp recruits and trains staff according to its personnel practices and policies. Staff members work under the supervision of the residential camp director or his/her representative.
Congregations agree to comply with the risk-management plan of the camp, and both share in the liability risk. Congregational leaders undergo a background check, but do not have any programmatic contact or responsibilities for campers.
Several models for staffing can be used for traveling day camp. The camp can hire a director just for day camp, who coordinates the pre-camp arrangements and then gives oversight to the onsite director and counselors who go to the churches each week. This person works year-round and is accountable to the camp director. In another model, the summer-program director coordinates all the pre-camp arrangements with a congregation, and hires a day-camp director who goes with counselors each week and directs the program.
Counselors can be part of the residential staff, splitting the summer between day camp and residential camp, and live at camp. Or counselors can be recruited just for day camp and not have any interaction with the residential staff. One of the challenges of traveling day camp is that enrollment for day camps can vary from week to week, requiring different numbers of counselors and leaving some without a job.
The outcomes and benefits of this program are abundant. First, the traveling day camp results in stronger relationships between the camp and churches, leading to more involvement of the congregations in the camp's program opportunities and possibly even a desire to support the camp financially.
The day-camp program offers children who might never go to residential camp an opportunity to experience relationships with other children in the program. Finally, taking camp on the road can boost camp enrollment by building trust in the camp and its ministry with campers and parents.
Nancy Ferguson has retired recently after directing the Traveling Day Camp program at Camp Hanover for 10 years. The author of eight books for camp leaders, Ferguson was also the editor of the New Earth camp curriculum and the management consultant for RAC of ACA. She is available to talk to camps interested in starting a traveling day-camp program. Visit her Web site at www.BlueTreeRecources.org.

The requisite opening taunts are out of the way and the players hold perfectly still, beads of sweat forming on furrowed brows while white knuckles clutch brightly colored joysticks.

A blanket of tension covers the room as two coiled snakes ready for the mark.
The Pavlovian trigger initiates a furious bout of controlled epilepsy, until finally the alpha monkey forces his opponent into submission. Whether in the arcades, on home consoles, or at international tournaments this scene had played itself out countless times over the history of fighting games.

The product I saw online and read about and finally ordered was delivered in a timely manner. I was kept up to date the whole way by e-mails from overstock.com including a final one to confirm that the item had been delivered. The product itself (a 12 inch Memory Gel Mattress) was just as described online. I installed it per the enclosed instructions and enjoyed the advantages of this new type of mattress right away. The very first night I slept better than on my old mattress, no taking a week or more to get used to something different and there were no lines to fall into where buttons had been sown or the feeling of harder places where springs are. I have now been using the mattress for over a month and am completely happy with my choice, I am diabled and my sore spots no longer get worse do to the way I lay on my mattress but I feel very comfortable and the support is amazing without taking away from the soft top, my next step is to get Memory Gel Pillows.
I love this Mattress! I had a 10 inch memory foam Mattress in the past when I lived in LA. I hated how hot it slept but loved the comfort factor. No matter what the temperature of the room the mattress was an oven. I think it is so important to note whether each buyer is new to Memory Foam or have had it in the past. People think the cooling-gel means its going to make you sleep cooler than average and that is untrue. For anyone who knows memory foam they know it sleeps hot and adding the cooling-gel brings memory foam back to a normal sleeping temperature. It's comfortable and just right when it comes to firmness. I love this mattress.
As most of us are I was very skeptical about buying a mattress online. I did alot of research and from the reviews on this mattress I decided to buy. Shipping was fast and I recieved it in a black bag similar to a sleeping bag cover. I'm assuming it was bagged and shipped within days because it only took 8hrs(with me and my wife sleeping on it) to reach 12". I slept on spring mattresses my whole life so it took me a few nights to adjust to the memory foam. I gotta say, we LOVE it!! It's a medium firmness which is the recommended by doctors for back pain. The only thing i could complain about is the "factory" like smell it gives off which took 3-4 days to fade away. Kinda like a freshly painted house....all in all this is a great product for an AMAZING price! Don't hesitate, sleep better quickly and order.
I bought this to replace an innerspring mattress that had started sagging, and I can honestly say, it was the smartest thing I've done in a long time. No more backaches! I It's really soft but at the same time gives very good support. I kept my original box spring and placed this on top of it. After letting it air out for 24 hours, I put a heated mattress pad on it and topped it with a waterproof mattress pad. A coworker has a memory foam mattress and she told me that if you get it wet, it makes the foam clump up, so I figured better safe than sorry. I've had this mattress for several weeks now and I don't know who likes it the most, me or my cat. The only difference between the one I got and the picture is mine has white sides and top. Excellent service by Overstock.com and by UPS, which delivered it. Arrived when it was supposed to and was left outside my door.
I absolutely LOVE this mattress. I've never slept better! I used to get backaches every night and also too warm on the conventional mattresses I've had in the past. My body temperature seems to stay consistent throughout the night so the gel must really help with that. My daughter tried it out and I ended up buying her the same mattress. When I was in the market for purchasing a new mattress I talked to several of my friends and many raved about the Tempurpedic brand, which they paid anywhere from $XXXX to $XXXX for. I didn't want to spend that much so started shopping online. This mattress compares to Tempurpedic for 1/3 the price! It also has a very nice cover on it. Shipping was fast and I had it on my frame the next day. I did not notice any smell from the foam. I seriously would recommend this mattress to anyone!
Love this mattress, we are considering buying more of them. It is so comfortable and great value for money - can't recommend it highly enough.
There's a question that asks if we would recommend this product to a friend and the answer is YES! YES! YES! I love LOVE LOVE my mattress and I sleep very well on it. Previously we had a waterbed and sleeping on traditional mattresses has always been difficult for me after over twenty years on the waterbed. In hotels I've only found one hotel whose bed I found comfy enough to sleep on for more than a few hours without waking up hurting. With this mattress the very first night I slept almost ten (10) hours! I've had this mattress for just over a year now and I'm just now doing a review because I wanted to see how it would last. I've yet to see signs of sagging or any other problems with it. I still sleep so very well on it. The only thing I can say negative about it is that it sometimes gets a bit warm sleeping on this mattress, but I stick my foot out from under the cover and my temperature adjusts quickly and I am fine. It's not every night and it's easily handled, so it's not a real problem.
After reading the other reviews, took the plunge and purchased the queen mattress in the soft. Yes, I will agree, with others that it takes some time to get the chemical smell associated with foam, to go away. However, I love the comfort of this bed!!!! if I had to purchase another bed at this time I would definitely purchase this mattress again!
I've only had the mattress for a month but am quite happy with it. I was skeptical at first, but decided to give it a try since I had a friend that also purchased this type mattress from overstock.com. I've slept much better and have no " dip " on my side of the bed. Definitely air it out because it does have an odor at first. I waited the full 72 hours and was glad I did. Also loved the no shipping costs! Well worth it.... So far.
This mattress is just what I needed, I have a Temperpedic but it is to firm so I didn't get the quality of sleep I needed but this mattress I fall asleep and stay asleep. So comfortable yet firm, I don't even have a box frame underneath just the slats on the bed frame. Great product.

lights-out management (LOM)
Lights-out management (LOM) is the ability for a system administrator to monitor and manage servers by remote control.
IT Governance: ITIL, ITSM, COBIT
Looking for something else?
Lights-out management (LOM) is the ability for a system administrator to monitor and manage servers by remote control. A complete LOM system consists of a hardware component called the LOM module and a program that facilitates the continuous monitoring of variables such as microprocessor temperature and utilization. The program also allows for such remote operations as rebooting, shutdown, troubleshooting, alarm setting, fan-speed control, and operating system reinstallation.
A single LOM system can be used with more than one server without the need for on-site staff at any of the server locations. Communication between the controller and the remote servers can be done through an independent dial-up connection. The LOM module keeps a record of all the operations (known as the event log), allowing the administrator to instantly check any or all of several hundred recent system events.

The neighboring town to the south is Ravensburg, a medieval gem close to Austria and Switzerland, which in the 20th century became internationally famous for its board-games, the Ravensburger Spiele. A total of 70,000 people live in the two towns. A very attractive feature of the Fachhochschule – University of Applied Sciences – is its location on an extensive campus on the town's outskirts. The university was established in Ravensburg in 1964, when the State School of Engineering began instruction in the fields of mechanical engineering. In 1982, the University moved to a town not far away called Weingarten, famous for its world renowned Coo Coo Clocks. Currently, there are approximately 1,400 students attending the University, and 120 of these students are international students.

This is the first time when I fully, after a pattern am sewing what is seen in Burda magazine. Usually I tend to modify something, or even sew after my own patterns, or even more frequently: something invented, where I just take scissors, am cutting and sewing: as a miracle, something usable is made!
In fact, I would be more industrious at sewing after Burda patterns, but I do not want to spend time for reduciction of patterns: this always is time consuming. And this also is the most common reason why I am leaving Burda magazines on the shelves, too few of the small size models. But the Burda magazine of July will be an exception, I will hurry up to buy it
Why should I tell that long: I made shorts, I really liked the model and did not want to change anything! Patterns are taken from Burda magazine "Easy" Russian edition 01/2011. Used black cotton satin fabric – one of the most popular materials in my sewing practice.

We had a beautiful full rainbow this afternoon 03/23/2011. The left side was double and it lasted less than 3 minutes. Fortunately, I had time to grab my camera and run to the backyard, where there weren't any power lines (but plenty of trees), in order to snap this photo.

Quizno's aggressive movements signal intentions similar to Subway's early ambitions. And as much as Subway "wrote the book on submarine sandwiches," as Fertman puts it, Quizno's (this year's No. 3 overall franchise) has taken strides to rewrite it. Awareness of Quizno's toasted sub rolls has become ingrained in anyone who has heard its radio or TV spots with the tag line, "Mmmm . . . toasty!" Gourmet offerings like the Black Angus steak sub entice a more upscale palate at a slightly higher price point, which Quizno's executive vice president Brooksy Smith says customers are willing to pay. Then there are the flavored sauces, part of Quizno's menu since its inception in 1981. Subway added flavored sauces and bread a few years ago, but not toasting.
With more than 2,400 locations in 13 countries, compared to Subway's 30,ooo-plus locations, can Quizno's be considered aggressive? "Not in the same way Subway is," Spinelli says. "Their aggressiveness is more targeted. They have opportunities to dominate specific trade areas or markets but don't have Subway's global view."
Smith concedes there are still sections of the United States without a Quizno's presence, but emphasizes the company's aggressive expansion effort has a new Quizno's opening every 16 hours. And for all existing Quizno's franchisees, the franchisor footed the bill for making overnight renovations in every store. Wood floors, softer tones and 6-foot-tall murals offer a more sophisticated ambience, while lower counters, pepper-and-sauce bars and improved views of the toasting process allow for an enhanced experience. "The older the store, the greater the impact," says Smith. "We've seen it in the bottom line." (Subway has also remodeled in fast-casual fashion with Tuscany-inspired décor.)
Despite being smaller than Subway, Quizno's has also been aggressive in its advertising, with offbeat, edgy humor that pushes the envelope and captures its audience's attention. "Our advertising agency set the tone that we take our food, the experience and our restaurant very seriously, but we don't take ourselves very seriously," says Smith. Because of budget limits, early spots were only 15 or 30 seconds long, but received a lot of attention from customers and media. Doubling their ad budget in 2002, Quizno's made its first commercial appearance during the Super Bowl and saw a spike in sales the following Monday. Quizno's premiered another ad during 2003's Super Bowl, featuring founding chef Jimmy Lambatos, a man so intent on creating the perfect toasted sub sandwich that he forgets to wear pants. Quizno's has also been a sponsor of Fox Sports Net's Best Damn Sports Show Period for the last two years, and Lambatos appeared as a guest, preparing some of his specialty subs with the hosts.

Yesterday for my mother was an "Eye Surgery" day. She had a Corneal Transplant and she is doing well so far. I took her today to her follow-up visit and the doctor is pleased with the results. I have more to tell about this but I need to go and take care of her tonight again. I hope that she can sleep better this time.

Mom enjoyed a dinner concert tonight with my grown children. She loves classical music and was so happy that this time one of her grandsons was in the stage playing for her.
I was in Atlanta during this week (two days) visiting my mother. She is at my sister's house and her health has not been good. We had a family picnic and I was happy she enjoyed it, the place where it took place was the Chattahoochee River. I think I will go back to Atlanta in two more weeks to bring her back home, she already is missing it.
We had a family get-together yesterday celebrating my Mom's birthday. She turned 85 years last Saturday. It was wonderful to be there with her and my other sisters.
I spent a good time this evening with Mom at the grocery store. She takes her time to pick up all the veggies and fruits she needs even though she doesn't like some of them. I like to observe her because she acts sometimes like a little girl.
I am not working today so I will have breakfast with her. She has been sad lately because she can't do things as she used to. She feels unuseful and cries which means to me time to take her to the mall and make her happy…she likes to walk and be around people.
Mom Noel. We had a good Christmas party and she was happy to be with us because she thought she couldn't make it to this day.
that my mom is home. I take her every sunday evening to my sister house and we spend a nice family reunion. She feels way better and has much more energy to walk and do her chores. I see she looks happier everyday and it makes me happy too.
She was in Atlanta for about a month with my other sisters and came back to Salt Lake last saturday. I have been taking her for a walk every day, she needs to exercise her legs. I am happy because I know that I have more time to spend with her.
...last weekend. Although she still is weak, she seems to be improving on her health condition. She wanted to spend a time with my other sisters in Atlanta but she is coming back to Salt Lake maybe this weekend. She felt so sad when I had to leave her :( so did I. I need to be strong but it is hard sometimes.

text: Man City and Toro Rosso common ground 7 September, 2011 Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan Sep.7 (Reuters) The Toro Rosso Formula One team strengthened their ties with Abu Dhabi on Tuesday with the announcement of a sponsorship deal with Spanish oil company Cepsa. Cepsa are owned by Abu Dhabi government fund International Petroleum Investment Company (IPIC), who also have a stake in carmaker Daimler through state-owned subsidiary Aabar Investments. IPIC chairman Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al-Nayhan also owns Premier League Manchester City, now the world's wealthiest soccer club. Aabar and IPIC own two other Toro Rosso sponsors – Swiss-based Falcon Private Bank and Canada's Nova Chemicals. Italian-based Toro Rosso, formerly Minardi, are owned by Red Bull but the Austrian energy drinks company has been looking to sell and there has been media speculation for some time about an Abu Dhabi takeover of the team. Toro Rosso said the sponsorship agreement with Cepsa would result in the company's logo being put on the drivers' race suits and on the nose, rear wing and rear wing endplates of the cars from Sunday's Italian Grand Prix. Toro Rosso won at Monza in 2008 with Germany's current champion Sebastian Vettel. That victory remains their sole triumph in Formula One to date. Tweet
