Renter finds explosive device in Colorado Springs garage
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - A couple moving into a rental home this weekend ended up with some visitors they weren't expecting -- the Colorado Springs Regional Explosive Unit.
Joe Connelly and his girlfriend are renting a home on Las Animas Street in Colorado Springs.
As Connelly was moving things around in the garage on Sunday, he found what looked like a homemade explosive device.
Connelly told KRDO-TV it was four to six inch plastic tube with a dark-colored substance inside and a two-inch fuse coming out of it.
Connelly called police. Officers called the explosives unit.
When the bomb squad detonated the device to make sure it was rendered safe, the device exploded.
Police said because the device was in a remote area when it exploded, there were no injuries or property damage.
Despite Sunday's ordeal, Connelly says he has no plans to move.
"I feel safe here. Absolutely, you know. I just think whatever the previous owners have some explaining to do, or the previous residents rather have some explaining to do," Connelly said.

Pick of the Week: The Midas Touch
My pick(s) this week have got the Midas touch—that is, they're both shiny shades of gold! The first is a necklace I bought a month or so ago at Dazzle—this spectacular, can't-miss bauble necklace came as a set with earrings! Both for under $20. Dazzle, don't ever change.
The second is a pair of Simply Vera gold wedge sandals from Kohl's—a steal at under $35. The wedge will ensure that my heels won't sink into the grass when I'm out and about during weekend firework festivities and the stunning shade still adds a bit of class to my outfits, too! Not to mention a wedge is far more comfortable than a stiletto heel—major bonus. They easily transition from complementing a daytime look to adding polish to a evening sundress or even a fancy cocktail frock.
You can also spot the famous Simply Vera wedges in this Live at Five segment that I appeared in on Monday! I discussed a summer style guide with Marc Lovicott and Susan Siman. Watch it below!

Governance and Militancy in Pakistan's Conflict Areas
In March 2008, a widow in Pakistan's Khyber Agency made a public appeal to Mangal Bagh Afridi, the leader of the Lashkar-e-Islam (LeI) militant group operating in the area, to help arbitrate a land dispute. Several of her family members had been killed in the dispute, and the formal justice system was not responding to the crimes. Bagh took up her case, ruled in her favor and promptly sent armed militia members to punish the people he determined were responsible for the deaths. Soon afterward, wealthy families, often the targets of kidnapping and extortion, started appealing to Bagh for help as well. Before long, Bagh came to be seen as a leader capable of arbitrating disputes and providing swift justice in Khyber Agency, and locals welcomed LeI's presence under his leadership. With popular support, he came to control much of the area.
Mangal Bagh's rise to power is symptomatic of a broader problem in Pakistan: Many of the country's formal governance structures barely function in some parts of the country, leaving locals to fend for themselves or turn to nonstate groups for services and help. The same dynamic was on display in in the Swat Valley. Indeed, the Tehrik-e-Nifaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM, or the Movement for the Enforcement of Islamic Law) was created as far back as 1992 as a response to popular demands for more efficient justice systems in Swat, where the formal justice system had been weak and corrupt. Popular support for both LeI and TNSM derived, at least initially, from the belief that they could bring swift justice based on a fair and equitable interpretation of Islamic values. Both groups went on to control significant swathes of territory. ...

This is a good game to get if you did not have the pleasure of playing BOF on the SNES. Otherwise you may be disappointed in thinking this is a new version of the series. It plays like the original. If you are a hard core fan of BOF go ahead and give it a shot.more

United States Mint Offers Refund for Pouches That Are Not Authentic American Indian Products
Filed Under: Consumer Alert, Mint News, Modern US Coins, Press Releases, US Mint
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The United States Mint is offering a refund of $130 to persons who own the 2004 United States Mint Lewis and Clark Coin and Pouch Set, if the pouch was produced by the Shawnee Nation United Remnant Band of Ohio. The United States Mint has learned that neither state nor Federal authorities recognize the Shawnee Nation United Remnant Band of Ohio as an official Indian tribe. Therefore, the pouch is not an authentic American Indian arts and crafts product.
The names of the various artisans and their tribes who crafted the pouches for the United States Mint are identified in certificates of authenticity (COA) accompanying the pouch sets. Owners may ascertain whether their pouch set was crafted by the Shawnee Nation United Remnant Band of Ohio by referring to the COA.
"Americans place their trust in genuine United States Mint products that embody the American spirit," said United States Mint Director Ed Moy. "The United States Mint wants to uphold that trust, and upon learning this new information, we are offering this refund."
The United States Mint sold a limited number of the 2004 United States Mint Lewis and Clark Coin and Pouch Sets between September 7, 2004, and December 31, 2004. Each set consisted of a proof Lewis and Clark Expedition Bicentennial Silver Dollar, a handcrafted American Indian Pouch, and a COA hand-signed by the American Indian artisan who crafted it, stating the artisan's tribe and its location. The United States Mint worked with the Circle of Tribal Advisors (COTA) to identify artisans from American Indian tribes to craft each unique pouch. When it was selected to produce pouches, the Shawnee Nation United Remnant Band of Ohio was a member in good standing of COTA. However, the Shawnee Nation United Remnant Band of Ohio reportedly dropped its membership in COTA late in 2005, and COTA adjourned late in 2006 at the end of the National Lewis & Clark Bicentennial Commemoration.
The Indian Arts and Crafts Board (IACB), an agency of the U.S. Department of Interior, recently informed the United States Mint that the Shawnee Nation United Remnant Band of Ohio does not meet the legal requirements to produce and market authentic "Indian" products under the Indian Arts and Crafts Act. The Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990 is a truth-in-advertising law that prohibits misrepresentation in marketing of Indian arts and crafts products within the United States.
"The Indian Arts and Crafts Board applauds the prompt action taken by the United States Mint to protect consumers after we learned that certain pouches sold with coin sets were not authentic Indian products under the Indian Arts and Crafts Act," said Meridith Stanton, IACB Director.
"Through this collaboration and other coordinated activities with federal, state, and local authorities, the IACB is continuing to pursue investigations of the sale of fraudulent Indian arts and crafts across the country. Our goal is to rid the market of fraudulent Indian products while supporting the sale of authentic Indian arts and crafts. Authentic Indian arts and crafts are original American treasures and integral components of Indian economic livelihood and cultural heritage," stated Director Stanton.
Those who return the sets to the United States Mint will receive a payment of $130.00 for each set, representing the original sales price of the product ($120.00), plus $10.00 for each set to defray shipping, handling and insurance charges. The owners of the sets who want to keep the Lewis and Clark Expedition Bicentennial Silver Dollar may return the pouch, along with the COA from the Shawnee Nation United Remnant Band of Ohio, for a prorated refund of $90.00, representing the prorated sales price of the pouch ($80.00), plus $10.00 for each pouch to defray shipping, handling and insurance charges.
To receive a refund, owners should send the 2004 United States Mint Lewis and Clark Coin and Pouch Sets, or pouches, along with the COAs, by insured mail or overnight delivery to United States Mint, ATTN: Indian Arts & Crafts Return, 801 9th Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20001. Inside of the shipping package be sure to include the return address and all mailing information for the refund, along with a note indicating that the item is to be directed to the Indian Arts & Crafts Return.

To Whom it may consern
I have been collecting coins from the Us mint from 1953 with fantastic results throug out the years up to date but with one big mistake making me think is it worth it as I purchased Five of the Lewis & Clark Coin & pouch set @ $130.00 for each set and now worth about $30.00 Each it was found out that The Shaunee Tripe which in fact are not a legal Indian Tribe The Us mint will refund the $130.00 price per set but the ones that are not the Shanee tribe they will not refund anything as all of thes sets have lost in value as much as a loss of $90.00 each and a loss to me of about $450.00 all because of the Shawnee Tribe Is it now fair to even think of buying any coins from the mint

If you are a developer or want to change some system paths in Windows 7, you need to know how to change the environment variables. Do so carefully, because you can break your system if you don't know what you are doing.
1. StepOpen up the Control Panel
2. Step Click on System and Security
3. Step Click on the System link:
(The text "System" is a link)
4. Step In the sidebar click on "Advanced system settings"
5. Step Go to the tab Advanced. At the bottom you will find a button labeled Environment Variables:
6. Step Below system variables you will find for example the environment variable CLASSPATH. The CLASSPATH variables is often required for paths to PHP executables or similar (if you set up an Apache server locally).
Important: Keep in mind that environment variables are separated by a semi-colon.

I felt seriously bereft when The Killing (Danish original) finished, everything about it was refreshing: slow-burn atmosphere; the most believable characters I've seen in a long while (last time I was similarly struck by that was the opening scenes in the film Alien); not something cheesy from US; not another sad UK imitation of something cheesy from US; understated, or rather not massively overstated. Sofie Gråbøl was excellent, but for that matter so was most everyone else.
Eeek... they remade it?!? Much of the of the joy of the original is that **it let us imagine** what folk were thinking while gazing into eyes that for once looked like someone actually lived behind them, as opposed to to blatantly spelling everything out 10 times over in the equivalent of single syllable words written in large capital letters. Have they ever merkanized anything European and made it better?If it's an Amercanised version
It's kind of passed me by, are the "The Girl With..." films any good?

Surname Saturday ~ Gore of Roxbury, Massachusetts
3 comments:
Hello again cousin :-)ReplyDelete
John Gore is my 8th great grandfather through his son John. Thank you for the reference to the Register article (as well as the other books). (I have seen the Great Migration article.) I haven't looked at this line in awhile and these sources will have likely information I haven't found before.
I am new to genealogy research. How can I find the sources you cite above?ReplyDeleteReplies
FamilySearch.org may have the books, or a good genealogy library such as NEHGS in Boston, or the Allen County library in Indiana, or perhaps try a Google book search to see if they are online. Most large public libraries will the "The Great Migration", but it will be harder to find the Gore genealogies in a regular public library unless it has a good genealogy section.Delete

Every celebrity seems to have a pet cause, and we have a hard time keeping track of who supports what and deciding which ones we're going to contribute to on our non-star salaries. Take Rachel Bilson. She designed this bracelet to help support the Diamond Empowerment Fund, which works to educate and develop disadvantaged people in African nations where diamonds are a natural resource. Would we have chosen to donate money to that organization on our own? Probably not, but we had already imagined the bracelet becoming our new signature accessory when we found out that $20 from each sale goes to the foundation. Isn't it nice when buying something you already wanted benefits other people? [Macy's via Luxist]

I am not a Biblical scholar or an expert. Nonetheless, I have some thoughts considering the Middle East violence and end of times.
Civilization began there and could possibly end there. We have all read or heard of Armageddon.
There is a valley in Israel called Armeggedio. I have read that military experts who explored this area said it is a perfect battlefield-whatever that means. The Book of Revelations states at the "end times" Israel's enemies will surround it. Today, I note that Egypt, Syria, Lebanon Jordan do surround Israel as they have for hundreds of years. It is noteworthy that those countries are now very hostile.
Militants vow to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. They vow to make Jerusalem their capital as the "Dome of the Rock" located on the Temple mount (al-Aqsa Mosque) is where Mohammed supposedly ascended to heaven.
It is a most sacred place for Muslims. That particular site was also the location of Solomon's Temple that was destroyed in 70 A.D. The Jewish people were scattered around the world but were promised a return. This return to their homeland occurred in 1948 with the Balfour Declaration.
In the Book of Revelations the passage referring to "666" or the "Mark of the Beast" will be very significant. For many years 666 was thought to signify a person. I wonder if today it could refer to banking institutions. The Bible passage states that no one will be able to buy, sell or trade if they do not have that mark.
By eliminating cash those who use food stamp cards could not get any cash back. They would only get credit on their card. By March, if you do not have a bank account, Treasury will select one for you and you will get a credit card for a certain amount of value to transact your business. This makes life easier and offers also a security so checks are not stolen from mailboxes.
Think about how much money we pay for services in cash that is not reported to the IRS. There is a highly-functioning underground economy that the government is not collecting taxes on.
With the elimination of all cash and use only credit/debit cards the IRS will be able to track all that money and collect taxes. It is a win-win for the government. If you gave the gardener cash what could he do with it? No one could use it; no bank would honor it. It would be useless. What a way to track all of our activities. The phrase "Big Brother is watching" is not far out as we might have thought.
I was watching the History Channel several days ago. It had a presentation about The Apocalypse. This word translated from Greek means new revelation.
They discussed Indian lore primarily of the Hopi and the Navajo nations. We saw on the TV in March that the Indians in eastern Texas were celebrating the birth of a white buffalo.
The chief stated this was the third white buffalo born and when the fourth was born it would mean the end of the world. This past summer I recall that the fourth buffalo was born somewhere in the New England area. In the 1970s the Hopi felt they had to reveal some of their beliefs with the world.
The program also referred to the Mayan calendar, which is more than 3,300 years old. The program also referred to the Book of Revelations. All had a similar conclusion.
We are in perilous times. A spokeswoman for the USGS that tracks seismic activity stated that since 2004 there have been more earthquakes with greater intensity than in previous records. The entire presentation on the History Channel was thought-provoking both for the factual and beliefs and traditions of many cultures.
No one knows what is in the future, but we should lead our daily activities in a positive manner.

The Minnesota Department of Human Services provides Minnesotans with a variety of services intended to help people live as independently as possible.
Assisting fathers in overcoming the barriers that prevent them from supporting their children is the aim of the Father Project. Commissioner Lucinda Jesson met in Minneapolis Dec. 12 with representatives of the Minneapolis organization that helps low-income, noncustodial fathers become more involved in their children's lives.
The Father Project supports fathers economically and emotionally, recognizing that the positive involvement of both parents is important to the healthy development of children and increases their chances of leading a safe, happy childhood. The Father Project is part of Goodwill/Easter Seals, which provides employment, education and other services aimed at helping its clients become independent.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Sam Bell, a Brown University graduate student and leader of the Rhode Island chapter of the Progressive Democrats of America, said Monday he will run for the state House District 4 seat being vacated by Gordon D. Fox.
Fox announced his resignation Saturday as House Speaker and said he would not run for reelection, following searches of his home and State House office by state and federal investigators.
Bell made headlines in recent months for launching an investigation into campaign financing activities by the National Rifle Association's Rhode Island PAC, which led to the NRA dissolving its RI PAC and paying a $63,000 fine, the second-largest such penalty in state history.
In a statement issued today, Bell said: "Our state needs a fresh Democratic voice on Smith Hill. As Representative, I'll fight to invest in our schools and our workforce, and I'll be an unfailing advocate for transparency and sunlight at the State House.
"I'm glad to have stood up for the people of Rhode Island against the powerful, out-of-state gun lobby . I'll continue to protect my constituents against the forces of special interests on Smith Hill.
"I've been a tireless supporter of progressive values my whole life, and I ask humbly for the support of District 4 as I take these values to the State House."

I have no idea why I'm fascinated with reading crazed tales. Especially, tales that are very similar to the premise of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit. I think, it's mostly because the crime, or the abuse is so inexplicable. Or, because it's so out of the norm.
M.T. Johnson brings together a collection of stories pertaining to life at a group home for children (from very horrifying pasts). Each story is unique, detailing the life of a child or a coworker. The stories are brief; the horror is real. A few pieces give you a glimmer of hope, especially from the perspective of a counselor wishing they could show unconditional love in a way the broken children could feel it.
In addition to the broken stories there were a few "I can do it" stories. Little bits to encourage the narrator of the story. My favorite of these stories is three paragraphs long:
I feel like I see life clearly. I'm in a difficult transition period, but I know I'm exactly where I need to be. I've seen the writing on the wall and what the future holds for me if I don't change. I'm so sick of not being present – here, now, in the moment. The years seem to be over before they even begin, and the feeling that time used to pass slower continuously intensifies. I can't take it anymore. Time didn't go by slower when I was younger because I had less cares, less stress, and less responsibility; it was because no matter what I was doing, that's what I was doing – I was there, present. Of course I remembered the past and thought about the future, but it was different. It wasn't mourning, romanticizing, yearning for, or getting angry about the past. And thinking about the future wasn't turning so many moments and decisions and periods into preparation for something that never comes. I wasn't locked into my debt or bad experiences. I was present and in the moment, whether I was crying or laughing.
I'm so fed up with this lifestyle, one where it feels like no matter what I do, I'm stuck with certain things that get me down or worried or stressed. I need to relearn how to be present, how to not waste so much time in my mind, how to not let my negative thoughts control me. It seems like the people deemed the healthiest are those who use their stress to better themselves, those with the safest, cleanest forms of escapism. But while jogging might be a more productive and positive outlet than getting drunk, you still need to deal with life once the activity's finished. And I aspire to a life I don't want to escape from.
I want to unplug myself from all my bad habits, everything from my destructive criticism to my negative trains of thoughts that waste time and energy. I finally recognize these habits for what they really are: addictions–addictions that still get the best of me way too often. I need to be better to myself. I love being alive; I know it and I feel it. But I need to be it.
This bit connects to more than abused children, broken people, or haunted souls. Some people wake up one day wondering "how did I get to this point," and then time becomes an enemy. The last half of the third paragraph is something I see people struggle with. (People and myself, to be precise.) Addictions sometimes get the best of us, and they become habits. And a lot of habits are hard to break; but the bottom line is that no matter what habits we've created or what criticism we receive; we can still change things.
We really can. It may take a long time, and it may not be pretty. But change is possible! Reading, or watching these crazed tales reaffirms my belief that things can change. Like the narrator in the story, we just have to change. Take that first step, do that first action.

Living with a sleep disorder can feel like you are fighting a losing battle. You may even begin to think that you will never be able to sleep well again. But it doesn't have to be this way. Research continues to shed new light on the process of sleep. This helps doctors know how sleep disorders affect the human body. Once the source of a problem is found, it can then be treated. According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, one of the treatments listed below just might be the solution to your sleep problem.
Bright light therapyThis is used to help treat disorders that result from a problem with the internal clock in your body. Two of these disorders are jet lag and advanced sleep phase.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)These methods teach you how to change actions or thoughts that hurt your ability to sleep well. They will help you develop habits that promote a healthy pattern of sleep.
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)This is the most common and effective way to treat obstructive sleep apnea. A steady stream of air blows through a mask and into the back of the throat to keep the airway open.
MedicationsA number of drugs have been developed to help treat some sleep disorders. Always get help from a doctor before using any of these drugs.
MelatoninAs a nutritional supplement, melatonin is most effective in the treatment of certain circadian rhythm sleep disorders. These include jet lag, shift work and delayed sleep phase.
Oral appliancesSimilar to sports mouth guards, these devices protect your teeth and open the airway as you sleep. They are used to treat bruxism, obstructive sleep apnea and snoring.
SurgeryA number of surgical options are available to help people who suffer from severe cases of obstructive sleep apnea.

Daily entries from the 17th century London diary
New Bridewell was a prison built c. 1617 next to Clerkenwell Bridewell, which was a prison located in Clerkenwell http://www.pepysdiary.com/encyclopedia/3395/ named 'Bridewell' after the Bridewell Palace, which during the 16th century had become one of the City of London's most important prisons. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clerkenwell_Bridewell
From The Book of Days (1869)
Adjoining to St. Bride's Churchyard, Fleet-street, is an ancient well dedicated to the saint, and commonly called Bride's Well. A palace erected near by took the name of Bridewell. This being given by Edward VI to the city of London as a workhouse for the poor and a house of correction, the name became associated in the popular mind with houses having the same purpose in view. Hence it has arisen that the pure and innocent Bridget--the first of Irish nuns--is now inextricably connected in our ordinary national parlance with a class of beings of the most opposite description.

ALT Offers ALTernatives To Pricey Hotels--This Time In Ottawa
In its continuing quest for world domination – Okay, Canadian domination – family-run Canadian hotelier, Groupe Germain, has announced that they will build another ALT Hotel in Ottawa for 2014.
Expect to see a modern hotel with twelve floors and 148 rooms designed by Canadian architects Lemay Michaud and Richard Chmiel. The hotel will be located on well-traversed Slater Street in Ottawa's bustling business district and will share space with 164 luxury condos in the same complex.
As in all ALT Hotels, WiFi is always free and the hotels don't just call themselves green, they mean it. They use: geothermal heating and cooling, heat recovery from indoor air that's vented outside, water from commercial washers, energy-efficient lighting and a direct digital control system for ventilation, heating and cooling.

The Great Canadian Hotel Bar Hop: ARC The.Hotel's Lounge in Ottawa
This is not so much a bar hop as a bar marathon that runs (get it?) the entire length of Canada. If you have the stamina, so do we.
We know what you're thinking: What's with the strange punctuation in ARC The.Hotel's name? Well, we don't know – but we do know that going to this hotel lounge is worth overlooking poor grammar.
On any given day, you can find a youngish professional crowd hanging out in the lounge, both locals and guests, enjoying the jazzy, dreamy soundtrack. What's their cocktail of choice, you ask? It's the ARCtini, the ARC Lounge's version of a green apple martini.

Take Mom To Ottawa for the Tulip Festival
We've been neglecting Canada lately and we apologize for that. So if you need a reason to visit our neighbors to the North and you just happen to be a member of your local garden club, hit up Ottawa in May for the Canadian Tulip Festival.
Each spring 600,000 people from North America, Europe and Asia travel to see the exotic mosaic these tulips create in the city's parks and open spaces. It's actually a perfect trip for Mom's Day.
The tulip festival runs May 2-19, and about 40 hotels in Ottawa and Gatineau have created a special festival package for visitors. The package includes accommodations, a voucher to receive International Friendship Passports, Tulip pins and entrance to some of Ottawa's other cultural attractions.
One of the participating hotels is the landmark Fairmont Chateau Laurier but there was no availability for the opening days of the festival. There was however room at the Hotel Indigo Ottawa for $139 a night which surprised us because we didn't know they had Hotel Indigos in Canada!
You can purchase festival packages at Ottawa Tourism. Hotel prices vary, with rates starting at $85 per night for double occupancy. The booking page is a little fussy, there's a lot of details to fill out and if you forget to select how many adults will be in the room, a pop-up message won't let you go any further.
The best way to do it is just select the dates you wanna go, select the Tulip Package and see what hotels show up.

Las Vegas True Stories...
Hi My Sweet Ones...
Are you ready for some fun? Yeah? I thought so...
Thanks to all of you for waiting so patiently for this thread with the pics I snapped of Las Vegas and the inside stories... I got back late Wednesday to a slew of emails that needed my attention and it took much time to cut all the pics down to size. I am Happy and Grateful to tell you that I am finally "unwound" from that whirlwind trip, yet still reeling from the AMAZING Loving Energy that was shared by this FABULOUS group of people that I am so honored to be a part of. I LOVE you all and I cannot wait for the next PATHS conference. To those of you who missed this historical event, I hope you find the pics and stories much fun and that they will give you the inspiration to make a serious intention to join us for the next one!!! This trip was undoubtedly one of the greatest highlights of my life!!!
So....I started my journey to this convention early and left Connecticut on Tuesday, the 29th of May to fly to Cleveland to meet up with my oldest friend Frank. We used to hang out now and then in Vegas some 30 years back and he will grab any opportunity to get out of cold Cleveland and venture to the Southwest for the sizzling temperatures that he thrives on, so when I mentioned Vegas a few months ago, he jumped at the chance...
We flew out of Cleveland early Wednesday morning and made it to Vegas by 10:30 am (Vegas time)...As soon as we landed, I pulled out my cell phone to call Gracie and learned that she was having flight troubles and wasn't sure if she would arrive that afternoon as expected. I told her to keep me posted and proceeded to the baggage claim area where Frank got his bag immediately and I was left to sweat it out as mine was one of the last to show up. Before it did, I started to worry that it might be lost and that was putting my knickers in a twist, but Frank told me to not concern myself and to "Live In the Now"....Of course I said "Yeah, right..." as I thought of all my nice dresses in that suitcase, but then I finally spied it and my blood pressure began to return to normal.... Whew!!!
So we make it out into the Las Vegas heat (104 degrees!) to grab a cab to the Stratosphere Hotel. As we walked through the doors into the main casino area, we both were struck by The Noise. Yep...Were talkin' REAL Noise, my Lovies... Noise that is LOUD and NEVER ENDS. Apparently there is a well-inforced law in Vegas that requires that Noise must be available for everyone at any given moment and it is VERY difficult to find areas where there is no Noise... The sounds from the slot machines coupled with the music is something I am NOT used to...You all need to remember that I am a country girl who spends her days in a quiet art studio and in the woods with my dog, so this Noise really made my eyes cross. Thankfully, an escape from this Noise was found in the lovely hotel rooms, so I was able to uncross my eyes while I unpacked my dresses...
But then...Gracie called again to tell us that she was STILL stuck at the airport in Dallas and did not know when she would get on a flight. We had planned on having dinner together that night and I was REALLY looking forward to this, so my knickers were in a bit of a twist, but Frank told me to "Relax and Live in the Now." and this time I decided to listen to him and we went off to have a great lunch
Frank and I had a great afternoon and went exploring some of the other hotels that evening...Las Vegas has GROWN since I was there last and there are masses of people EVERYWHERE you go and AlWAYS the inescapable Noise!!! By that night it was pretty clear that Gracie was not going to get a flight out of Dallas, so we made some Powerful Intentions together on the phone that she would be able to get on one the first thing in the morning. I knew that Pammie would be checking in late that evening and that we would meet up in the morning, so I was really looking forward to that. By 10:00pm, I was happy and grateful to get back to the quiet of my room and have a good sleep after the long and Noisy day!
And the next morning I got a call from Pammie who told me she was at the pool! On hearing that she was here and only moments away, I got all excited and started to run towards the elevators so we could find her. Frank told me to "Slow down and Live in the Now." and I told him "Yeah, right!" again as I pushed him onto the elevator. Oh, My Sweet Ones...It was SO AWESOME seeing our Pammie for the first time.... And it was as if we had known each other since our sandbox days! There she was...Baking in the sun like the Goddess that she is, but with NO sunscreen!!! You better believe that I read her the riot act right off, but she seemed unconcerned and rolled her eyes at me and continued on frying in the sun while Frank and I found a shady spot right next to her to sit in. Then Pammie and I did some MAJOR tongue wagging while Frank enjoyed doing some poeple-watching.... Oh...Okay...I KNOW...Enough of my bantering on and on.... YOU WANT PICS, RIGHT??? Okay here's a few to start, but there's plenty more and I will be back soon with more of them...
Here's the pool area and Pammie.... Enjoy, My Lovies!!!

WASHINGTON, March 15, 2013 — Former senator and new head of the Heritage Foundation Jim DeMint was the keynote speaker last night at CPAC's opening Presidential Dinner. In his remarks, he charged conservatives with action, saying that conservatives are committed to serve all Americans, whether they vote for us or not.
Specifically, he said that Heritage was committed to spreading conservatism via a permanent, ground up grassroots organization called Heritage Action. According to DeMint, who at the time had organized the Senate Conservatives fund, the 2010 election was not carried by Republicans but by conservatives in the grassroots Tea Party movement. Democrats, he said, copied that grassroots strategy in 2012 but the Republican Party did not.
He also said that Heritage would seek to engage all demographic groups – they already produce a newsletter in Spanish – and that they would seek to personalize the success stories of conservative policies. Detroit was singled out as the poster child for the failure of liberal policies.
He charged conservatives to engage people where they live, and outlined four policy areas where conservatives can engage now.
First, he said that conservatives cannot give up on Obamacare. It is going to bankrupt the nation. Just the day before, on Wednesday, Sen. Ted Cruz got a vote on his amendment to defund Obamacare. All the senate Republicans voted with him. This was an example of what DeMint said he heard from people as he toured the country: People are willing to follow if there is solid, principled leadership.

Second, he said that we must fix the immigration system. It is broken and amnesty is not the answer. There were an estimated 3 million illegals in the country when the first amnesty was given in 1986; today there are 12 million. Amnesty encourages law-breaking and many immigrants, he said, come here because of our adherence to the rule of law.
Third, he said we need to balance the budget within ten years without raising taxes. The president's plan never balances the budget and that is simply not acceptable. Finally, he said that conservatives must stand for core conservative principles. In this context he spoke about the institution of marriage. He said that the government has no business redefining an institution that has existed for thousands of years and forms the basis of a stable society.

Bulge Your Biceps And Add them Inches!
The biceps are only 1/3 of your upper arm but they do look great when flexed and are the muscles you will flex when someone asks you. Beware though if you leave the rest of your muscles un-trained you will never be able to compete in an amateur or professional contests. Especially your triceps and your forearms if you have great big biceps but scrawny little triceps and forearms its not going to look right is it? Saying that, this article will only look at biceps but dont stop training your other body parts.
Soon i will have an article specially made for your biceps, triceps and forearms altogether. This article will help you allot if youve already got big triceps and forearms so that now you can just add that last magic touch to your arms by adding at least three whole inches to your biceps!! You can do this by following my eight week program to success. If your wondering already is it in this article then the answer is yes because i am giving this away for free. This good solid piece of information will guide you to them nineteen inchers or even twenty one inch biceps everyone wants! The best of all though you can do this in a matter of months. So if youve got a competition coming up in three or four months then youll be prepared to walk on there with mega giant arms and hopefully a totally transformed body! So i wont keep you a minute longer.
The first muscle i will talk about is the front biceps brachii this will help you make your biceps look bigger than the back ones when you flex as you usually flex the front of your biceps showing and not showing the back. Ten good exercises that work this muscle are:
Alternate hammer curls,
Barbell curls,
Cable preacher Curls,
Chin ups,
Close grip EZ bar curls,
Concentration curls,
Dumbbel alternate curls,
Hammer curls,
Incline dumbbell curls,
One arm dumbbell preacher curls.
These exercises are good for building muscle in a short time and you should use two dumbbell exercises and one barbell exercise, i call this the two and one. I choose not to use machines as they dont help you as good as free weights do. So remember the two and one training method to build pure and solid muscle.
The next and final muscle i am going to tell you about is the back biceps brachii muscle which will be good for competitions when your posing your triceps. So you could do something like, work for four weeks on front bicep brachii muscle and the other four weeks on back biceps brachialis muscle. Doing this will gain you muscle dramatically fast and will help you strenghthen them really fast too. So here is ten great exercises for this muscle:
Cross body hammer curls,
Drag curls (amazing for getting big muscles),
Dumbbell curls,
High cable curls,
Incline inner dumbbell curls,
Lying cable curls,
Lying supine dumbbell curl,
Overhead cable curls,
Preacher Curls,
Preacher hammer dumbbell curls.
Now this is probably what you`ve been waiting for the brilliant, super and amazing three inches or more in eight weeks program.
Three Inches Or More In Only Eight Weeks
This program will help you add three to four inches on your biceps in only eight weeks!! Theres only two steps to this massive biceps builder which will put you into championship form for any competitions be it amatuer or professional! Also you will be able to take off your t-shirt wherever you go if you follow this program and my first article about achieving a rock-solid six pack. So going to the first stage of the program which is having a high protien, low fat and moderate water diet. TIP: If you drink too much water then work out you will put some of the water into your muscles making them not so hard as they should be.
For the diet look into my first article which will show you it and you can use it or change some of it just to suit your personal needs. The article is about achieving great, rock-solid, six pack abs. Just remember if you mess up your diet then your messing up your muscle growth so do your best to keep on track with your diet. Also if you need some extra help like any questions or you want me to personalize a diet for your needs then e-mail me: email@example.com.
So with the diet and step one done we will need to go onto the second step and final step. Step two is workouts and weight lifting. So now im nearly done this is the last step you need to take to get giant biceps and big strong arms:
Workout: Monday, Thursday and Sunday.
Barbell curls 3 sets of 13 reps,
(1 minute rest here)
Dumbbell curls 3 sets of 12 reps,
(1 minute 30 sec. rest here)
Dumbbell preacher curls 3 sets of 14 reps.
Close-grip barbell curls 3 sets of 14 reps,
(1 minute rest here)
Hammer curls 3 sets of 13 reps,
(1 minute 30 sec. rest here)
Drag curls 3 sets of 13 reps.
Barbell preacher curls 3 sets of 12 reps,
(1 minute rest here)
Drag curls 3 sets of 13 reps,
(1 minute rest here)
Concentration curls 3 sets of 11 reps.
Last thing, every week up your protein intake by 5g. So at the end you should have added 40g of protein to your diet.
That was the final step to adding three inches or more to your biceps in only eight weeks! I know this sounds like one of them stupid programs that dont work but i am 90% sure that it will gain you at least 2 inches.

What: A Web site devoted to
helping women find boyfriends who have the seal of approval from
other women
Who: E. Jean Carroll and Cande Carroll of GreatBoyfriends.com
Where: Ithaca, New York
When: Started in November 2002
It's a godsend for single gals everywhere- Web site chock-full of profiles of eligible bachelors, each of whom comes with the stamped approval of another woman. It's GreatBoyfriends.com, the brainchild of Elle magazine advice columnist E. Jean Carroll and her sister Cande Carroll. After reading letter after letter from women seeking nice, datable men, E. Jean saw the need for a place where women could find romance without all the what-ifs of many online dating services.
E. Jean and Cande require each potential boyfriend to be recommended by a woman- it a friend, a sister or even an ex-girlfriend. After all, E. Jean received plenty of letters from women who had broken up with their really nice, successful boyfriends because the spark just wasn't there. "[It's about] women doing good deeds for womankind," says E. Jean of the service. "We knew we were going to help an awful lot of women here. We knew there were really great guys out there who were being overlooked."
The company's revenue comes from the monthly subscription fee women pay to be able to communicate with the guys- if a gal recommends a guy to the site, she gets one month free. The pair expect 2003 sales to hit more than $500,000.
Public reaction to the site has been explosive. Not yet open for a year, GreatBoyfriends.com has already received a ton of media attention- a spot on Oprah that inspired more than 3.5 million hits to the Web site. In February 2003, the sisters launched GreatGirlfriends.com, a place where guys can find the women of their dreams. In addition, the sisters plan to launch GreatGayFriends.com in the near future. Sounds like everybody's ready for love.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

(CBS) Won't get your kid vaccinated? You're fired.
That's the extreme step some pediatricians are taking when it comes to dealing with parents who won't get their children vaccinated over concerns the injections cause autism or other side effects.
The Wall Street Journal reports that these doctors are fed up and would rather rid the family from their practice than have unvaccinated children risk infecting other infants or sick children in the waiting room.
Dr. Scott Goldstein, a pediatrician at Northwestern Children's Practice in Chicago, is one such doctor. He told CBS This Morning, "If you don't believe in the fundamental thing we believe in, then you need to go somewhere else."
And he's not alone. A survey by the American Journal of Preventive Medicine found 25 percent of pediatricians have fired patients for refusing vaccines, according to CBS This Morning.
"Most people my age have never seen a case of polio or measles but when we ask our parents or grandparents they remember it very well," Goldstein said. "This is the best way to protect our kids."
But don't doctors take an oath to help all patients? The American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines even state, "Pediatricians should avoid discharging patients from their practices solely because a parent refuses to immunize his or her child. However... the pediatrician may encourage the family to find another physician or practice."
What about the risks for other children?
Dr. Yoram Unguru, a pediatric hematologist and oncologist at the Herman and Walter Samuelson Children's Hospital at Sinai in Baltimore, who also happens to be bioethicist at Johns Hopkins University, knows first-hand the risks of an unvaccinated child going into a doctors office. He treats children with cancer who have compromised immune systems, so if a kid comes in with chicken pox because they've never been vaccinated, that could kill another child. What does he think about doctors firing patients?
"My gut reaction is this puts me off," Unguru told HealthPop. "I would argue by dismissing this parent and child, ultimately you're placing this child at risk of harm." He said these children who are getting vaccinated can be as young as two months old, so by sending them away, they may never follow-up with a pediatrician for future appointments.
His suggestion? Doctors need to build a relationship with the parents early to establish trust over time, Unguru said - hear the parents out, appreciate their views, and continue the running dialogue over vaccines. Unguru even suggests that the vaccine discussion start before the baby is born during prenatal visits. Then once the child is born, keep building this relationship and having the vaccine talk, and if necessary, try negotiating with parents in an effort to convince them.
Dr. Alanna Levine, a pediatrician and spokeswoman for the American Academy of Pediatrics told CBS This Morning that she negotiates with some concerned parents by telling them she'll give their child only one vaccine a month, to make parents more comfortable.
"I want to take the time to listen, hear what their concerns are and really explain the science behind it, she said." "Relationship between parents and a pediatrician is a collaboration. You really need to see eye to eye on a lot of fundamental issues."
