The Philadelphia Wings, led by one of last year's top rookies in Kevin Crowley, will host the Buffalo Bandits on Friday night to open their 2013 NLL regular season. (Photo: Larry Palumbo)
The Philadelphia Wings will begin their 27th season of play when they host the Buffalo Bandits for their 2013 National Lacrosse League regular season home opener on Friday, Jan. 11 at 7 p.m. at Wells Fargo Center. The revamped Wings hope to challenge for a record-seventh NLL title after making the playoffs in 2012 for the first time in three seasons. Watch the game live on the NLL on YouTube on The Lacrosse Network.
The Wings had a busy offseason by adding 13 new players to the roster. Philadelphia acquired seven of those players through trades, including one of the sport's biggest stars, transition player Paul Rabil. The December trade that sent shockwaves through the league between the Wings and the Rochester Knighthawks, sent Dan and Paul Dawson to Rochester for Rabil, Jordan Hall, Joel White and Robbie Campbell.
Those additions were preceded by three trade acquisitions, Kyle Hartzell from the Washington Stealth, Kevin Ross from the Minnesota Swarm and Kevin Buchanan, who will play his former team right away when the Wings take on the Bandits this weekend.
"There have been a lot of changes to this team with 13 new players and seven rookies but we are ready to compete," said Wings head coach Johnny Mouradian. "We made a conscious effort to build a roster centered around young, talented U.S. players and our goal is to get back to winning championships."
The starting lineup for the Wings on opening night will have a different look than just one year ago. Out of the original starting six who were on the floor for the opening faceoff in 2013, only faceoff specialist Jeff Reynolds and goalie Brandon Miller remain.
Philadelphia returns two All-Stars in captain Brodie Merrill and Max Seibald, who will miss some time with an injury, along with last season's runner-up for NLL Rookie of the Year Kevin Crowley, their top pick in the 2011 NLL Entry Draft, and forward Drew Westervelt, who led the team with 36 goals last season.
"We've made a lot of improvements," Merrill said. "With change, there is a little bit of uncertainty. We don't quite know what we have yet, but we will find Friday night and begin the process of coming together and growing as a team."
Rookie draft picks, Michael Manley and C.J. Costabile, both from Duke, will play in their first professional game Friday night along with Campbell, Ethan Farrell and Brian Teuber.
"We are looking forward to the matchup with Buffalo," Mouradian said. "I think we match up well against them. They have a lot of young new talent and so do we."
This game will mark the first of three contests between the Wings and their long-time East Division foe this season. In addition to opening the 2013 season against the Bandits, the team will play two road games later this year in Buffalo at First Niagara Center.
For Buffalo, it's the first game for newly-appointed captain John Tavares. It's Tavares' 22nd season with the Bandits, but the first with him as captain. Tavares has led Buffalo in scoring in 17 of 21 seasons.
Both teams are historically weak in season openers. The Wings have an 11-15 record in openers (.423 win percentage) and haven't won on opening day since 2008. The Bandits are slightly above .500 with a 12-9 record (.571 win percentage), but have only won two of their last six openers.
Adding to the Wings home opener festivities, Philadelphia 76ers star center Spencer Hawes will participate in a ceremonial faceoff prior to the game
Hawes has attended several games at Wells Fargo Center since joining the Sixers in 2010. The 7'1" center was a lacrosse standout in high school at the prestigious Seattle Prep in Washington and continues to follow the sport he grew up playing.
"I've really enjoyed going to Wings games over the past few seasons and I love the sport," Hawes said. "I can't wait to see this year's Wings team take on Buffalo and I'm thrilled to be participating in the faceoff."

"Need a 3.5 score"
This held my attention. Some parts are better than other parts. I saw the outcome long in advance. If you like Tana French novels, you probably would want to hear this one.
Plot is a little strained somehow and at times improbable. Some parts resonate with reality, others not so much. I don't want to be more specific as it would diminish the story of those who listen.
I can't give it a four star ( I seldom give 5 stars, must be really excellent to get 5 starts from me, not just entertaining. ) It's a 3.5.
"Romance not Contemporary Fiction"
This is a romance. If you like romance fiction, this is probably one of the better ones.
I thought it was predictable and insipid, but I abhor the genre.
"I think this is supposed to be funny"
Might as well listen to a random word generator. So much gibberish. I think there is supposed to be a plot, but you could have fooled me and I have listened to 90 % of it.
There may be little left, but it's too much more for me to listen.
A bunch of blubber, chick lit disguised. I really resent this type of blubber being passed off as general fiction.
I didn't finish it. But as most of the later books by this author, it's just junk.
"Just gets better"
I enjoy this series very much. The historical background is interesting and still pertinent in today's world. The stories are well written and well performed. I look forward to more.
"Exceptional writing and story"
It took a while to sort out the story, for my ears to recognize and understand the shifts in time and voice. The complexity of the telling is integral to the story. Once my ears became accustomed I was able to follow the scrambled tale of extraordinary events taking place.
I am so glad I hung in there. This is one of the best books to which I've listened. This is an exceptionally gifted author.
"I call this a Publishers Book"
The story is engaging but poorly written. The writing is mixed with some parts well written and some poorly written, much of it maudlin. When I read a book like this I think a new author has a good idea but gets a publisher that puts a team of mediocre writers on it to get it out the door. Overall amateurish. Toward the end, I just started skipping over sections trying to miss the poorly written stuff. Much of the ending is just so much mush.
"Vintage Intrique Romp"
I enjoyed the story and had no problem with the narration. Think of this one as RETRO! Anglophile style. It's also nice to read an early Agatha Christie story.
The story is pleasantly convoluted. The naiveté of the principals is charming.
This is not today's hard-edged mystery.
"Well done - not overdone"
This book does an excellent job of telling a story of a young man with severe disability. The book clearly separates the difficulties of this young man's alternate perceptions of reality and mental retardation.
The workings of the human mind are complex and those of us whose minds process the world and perceive in the "normal" as in statistically normal manner are too quick to dismiss or throw away those who experience the world differently. Different working brain is not necessarily crazy or retarded, but can lead to serious difficulties for the human who is born with it.
This book shows us the difference. Well written and worth the read.
"Creatively and thoughtfully written"
The story was constructed in an imaginative way that gives insight into historical events and horror without succumbing to a yoyeuristic exploitation of horror or the maudlin in the intensity of the wartime relationship.
The book isn't flawless but overall well written. I had times when I got the sequence or characters confused, but that was probably my trying to multitask. I will probably give it a second read in a year or two, just unscramble my own confusions in listening.
I almost didn't buy it because the cover art while capturing key details in the story puts too much of a "sappy, emotional" take on the story. I hate "sappy" stories. I'm glad I bought this audible book and that the author kept the intensity reasonably in check.

I have managed to get up 3 days in a row at 6 am to fit in my strength training, and it seems to be making my days better. I had a ton of energy this afternoon, even with my grocery shopping trip. I actually came home and put away all of my purchases. Often, when I get done at the store, I come home and just put away the bare minimum because I am so exhausted. Today though, I had energy to spare. So, I am going to get a good night's rest to start off my day tomorrow right again. Also, no chocolate for 2 weeks so far! I don't want to have any, because I still don't feel ready to ration myself. Gonna give it at least another week before I try to reinclude it in my diet, just to be sure I am the one in charge, not the chocolate!
I had a great exercise day today. I had planned to rollerblade, but rain was threatening, so I didn't want to get caught in it with my blades on. Instead, I decided to do some aerobics. I have an X-Box program called Yourself Fitness that is the exact same as the My Fitness Coack on the Wii. I set up a 60 minute weight loss program. Jumping Jacks, Hops, Step stuff and some strength training and stretches at the end. This only gave me 48 minutes of cardio, so I laced up my runners, and did a 15 minute run to round out my routine. It was the best run I have done in a long time. I got my heart rate in the 160's , and spent most of the run in the 150's. Usually I sustain my heart rate in the high 130's, to endure my 60 minute plus runs, but since I was doing such a short session, I knew I could push myself. It felt fabulous! I am really looking forward to running with my journey buddy/best friend tomorrow to see how we do. Also, I went to the Terry Fox Run website and the new pledge sheet was available to print! YAY YAY YAY!!! I have been looking forward to getting this printed for months. Only 3 1/2 months to go! 15 weeks from yesterday! 104 days to go! I am going to look into online pledging as a fundraising option. I am going to talk to as many people as possible, and hopefully get some pledges from local companies as well. I am SOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, I did a photo shoot on the weekend with a relative. I had sooooo much fun, and they did too. I was totally pleased with the photos, and I know they will love them too. Things are just going so well right now, I can't get enough of the positivity! 3 pounds to go until I can wear my new bathing suit too! Come on 165!
So, I went for a run with my running buddy yesterday. We were in an industrial area, and I heard a dog barking. I am always on the alert for dogs after being chased on my bike by a loose dog last Spring. I noticed yesterday that the barking dog was in a cage, so I was okay with that. Next thing you know, the dog (a HUGE, scary looking Doberman Pinscher with massive teeth) is chasing my friend and I! I started to run faster until my friend said "Don't run!" Of course! Dogs love to chase! So, I out loud told myself to STOP and stayed there until the men outside the shop where the dog got loose from called it back and got it under control. Then, we got moving again and I was so shaken up, and even cried a little bit. I don't like being chased by dogs, so my body dumped every available store of adrenaline into my system, and I was done running for the day. We cooled off for 5 minutes and called it done. We had a chat with my journey buddy shortly after that and told her all about our "adventure". She LAUGHED at me the whole time, and even my running buddy was laughing at me! Later, my journey buddy and I told her oldest child about it, who proceeded to also LAUGH at me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, so I am totally laughing at myself right now too, gotta have a sense of humour right? I just have to say though to any of you runners out there, if you get chased by dog, WHAT DO YOU DO? Carry dog treats in your pocket? Maybe some raw meat to distract it while you get away? I was so glad that the owner of the MONSTER we encountered yesterday was nearby, or I don't know what would have happened.
Seeing as how my run was cut short by 15 minutes, I needed more cardio. So, I went for a wonderful bike ride to visit a friend of mine who has lost 80 pounds. We had a healthy lunch together and talked about weight loss and long term changes for health. Then, I rode home to get in a total of 90 minutes on the bike. Combined with my 45 minute run, I burned over 1600 calories yesterday! I have my strength training program set up now, so I can start on Sunday, and I look forward to seeing some awesome results! WATCH OUT FOR THOSE DOGS!!
So, Today, I did my first full day of tracking my food. I also just finished planning my day for tomorrow and recording it in my journal so I don't have to rely on the internet access to know what to eat and what I have remaining to fill my quotas for the day. My sodium is high today and also will be tomorrow, but I am not stressing over it. I am extremely active so if I take in a bit more sodium, I will make good use of it. Plus, I am drinking tons and tons of water, which will help flush out my system. I am feeling very driven right now. I have had it with the lack of results since February and ready to tackle the next 40 pounds. My exercise routine is down pat, my cravings are coming under control, and my food tracking is my current hurdle to overcome. 160's here I come again!
Well, I weighed in this morning, and I have lost 1.4 pounds since last Tuesday! I am so close to getting back below 170 (171.8 today) , and I am totally psyched. I am on a roll right now. Cutting out chocolate and virtually all sweets has made a huge change in my cravings, and I am eating when I am hungry instead of ignoring it. But, I am eating the right stuff, so that makes the biggest difference!

I Will Stick to My Day Job43 Comments Published by JD March 5th, 2010 in I Am Kind of Awesome, I Give and Receive.
What a lovely, lovely picture
You're my treasured work of art
So, as you may recall, there was this contest at I Do Things regarding candy bars. There were also interminable videos featuring some stupid camera effects and lots of nervous twitching. There was soap. There was poorly cued music.
But most important, there were winners. Four of them, to be precise, and if you didn't know there were four, then YOU didn't watch all the videos!
Tho I can hardly blame you.
Anyway, as the winners checked in to claim their prizes, I offered an alternative in case they really didn't care to have a melted, smashed candy bar show up on their doorstep. If you don't want the candy bar, I said, I will put your ad in my sidebar for a week. If you don't have a button, I will make one for you!
All accepted the candy bar eagerly.
All but one.
I suspect she's regretting her choice.
I was sure I could design a button. How hard can it be? Plop in the name of the site and throw in some color and graphics, right?
Her response to my offer to create an ad was as follows:
I trust you implicitly.
Aw. It's nice to be trusted. I went to work and created the ad. Hmm! I thought. Not great, but not bad, really. I bet she'll like it.
Her response:
You know what? I think I should make a button anyway. I will get one to you soon.
Yours is AWESOME, but this is a perfect excuse for me to just make a button already.
Oh. OK. Gotchya. No problem. Really. No big deal. She did say "awesome." I'm sure she's not just being polite
She e-mailed me her button, and it was fine and everything, but it BUGGED me, because it wasn't 125 x 125. It HAS to be 125 x 125, doesn't it? So I messed around with it a bit. Surely she would see how superior mine was to her original.
SERIOUSLY, no offense. I just like consistency.
OK! Geez! But shouldn't it be a bit bigger? I enlarged it, which had the unfortunate effect of making it all blurry. Still. Bigger, right?
Smaller. Don't you love how I'm all "WHATEVER, SERIOUSLY" and then have opposing/definite opinions?
Yeah, I "love" it. Anything else, your highness?
Before you get the wrong idea, I love this woman. We both thought it was pretty funny that what started as "I trust you implicitly" ended up as "I'll do it myself, thank you very much!"
Regardless, I get the message. I am not a graphic designer. Not even of simple blog buttons. Don't believe me? Here's the final product:
And here's what I created:
I didn't even spell her NAME right!
I'm waiting to see if she comments on this post. I'm sure she'll suggest a few revisions.

Everyone knows that folks who are creative, march to their own drummer. You spelled her name wrong? You were giving her a little flair. All girls in H.S. find ways to write their name. You were just keeping her young. Reminding her of her youth. *lol*
I cannot believe that folks don't want a squished up, melted candy bar or a bar of used soap, etc. Wow! They took free ads on a well read blog? Go figure.

I am also graphically challenged (not that I though either button looked bad). I just go to flit and say, "flit, I know you're going for your Ph.D and renting out multiple residences and traveling for hours each week as you study and write papers and teach a completely unrelated class and have a life of your own and such but could you fix my f'ed up graphics 'cause I suck royally?"
flit, instead of saying, "Are you kidding me?" will either say "Yeah, I can do that," or "No I can't." Not that it makes the slightest bit of difference. If she says she can, she will and it will be PERFECT and GORGEOUS. If she says she can't, she'll change her mind as soon as she sees my pathetic attempts actually in place. And do it anyway.
The banner on Rockets and Dragons, she'll be fixing it. She already told me.
Damn, I'm so lucky.

I liked yours better too, except for the misspelling and the font. Since you're not a professional graphic designer, you get a pass on the font, but, considering your day job, I can't give you a pass on the misspelling.
Anyway, I vote for yours. It stands out more.
Wait, this wasn't up for a vote, was it? Oh well, I vote anyway. What do we win for voting?

Now, here's the thing. I AM a graphic designer, therefore I'm not sure if I should comment at all, but I will. All I can say is – "JD, top marks for trying" Don't tell 'Ann's Rants' but I would make alterations to both. What do you mean "she's reading this"?

Baby blocks…and beer? Is that supposed to be a bottle of refreshing Vernor's soda or is that a Lager? Are those jellybeans in the middle?

The combo of the beer and jelly beans is very cool. I was looking at the blocks, and I thought the letters on the sides were "J" and "D". That seemed a little bit suspicious, but I guess it is actually a T and a D.

I can't design a thing… But I have people for that! I've built my own web site for my business, but I hired a graphic designer for my logo and all artwork. I also have a printer do all my printing. Because that's what they DO! And I DON'T!
So I'll stick to my day job, too!

I like the button, minus the superfluous 'E', and it's given me a great idea as I was trying to figure out if those were jellybeans or pills: Remember those calcium supplements that were chewy and were chocolate flavors? Same sort of idea, but with birth control pills that taste like jellybeans. No one would forget to take their daily jellybean, would they?
I'm sure the FDA would find this a great idea and I see absolutely no risk to children whatsoever, and as I have no children I am the world's leading expert on raising them.

You may have a new career as a graphic designer. So, spelling's not your thing. No biggie. The hard part was the design and you pretty much nailed it with exception to the font. Not my favorite choice but then again I'm not an artist. Although, I dream of one day having a living room (or any room) that is aesthetically pleasing or just doesn't make me violently ill.

Okay, this is how insecure I am. I started reading this post and then thought, 'Wait a minute. I told her I wanted the candy bar. I want it. I know I'm gonna love it even though I questioned it in the beginning.
Did she think I wanted an ad in the sidebar? I want chocolate.
I didn't send her an email saying I trusted her implicitly. But I do. I do trust you.
Then I realized it was not at all about me. Shocking, I know.
When I read this line,
… what started as "I trust you implicitly" ended up as "I'll do it myself, thank you very much!"
I thought it said,

I guess this explains why Woody was more productive than DJ last year too...
I don't get it, DJ has always been an above average player, nothing more, but yet people around here still think he's a good to great player. And I just have to shake my head at people who say he's the best overall linebacker on our team. Von is better than DJ in all three linebacker fazes. Rushing the passer, stopping the run and even in pass coverage. And he's far better at causing turnovers. It's not even close who the best linebacker on the team is.

Swimming Holes! The Perfect End to Summer

Ever since I was a kid I've had a thing for swimming holes.

But there's one more requirement that makes finding the perfect swimming hole more of a challenge. […]

The Fast and Furious investigation should be pushed forward at a rapid pace. While Rep. Darrell Issa is a solid Chairman of the Government Reform Committee, a more rigorous use of their investigative powers would make us all feel as if the corruption is not continuing.

Quality Expo International 2003
Apr 16, 2003
Print this page
Even though recent times have brought about a decrease in trade show exhibitors and attendees—there were an estimated 340 exhibitors at the show visited by Appliance at the Donald E. Stevens Convention Center, Chicago, IL—there were still plenty of offerings from those companies that did make it to the 2003 Quality Expo International. Instron Corporation exhibited a new Tukon® 2100 closed-loop hardness tester, which will be released later this year. Fischer Technology Inc. featured a coating probe that they say could be very useful to the appliance industry. According to the company, the ED-10X can measure the thickness of two coatings—a powder coat and galvanized steel—giving the thickness of each, as well as the combined thickness of the two materials. At the ATEQ Corp. booth, the company was exhibiting its third-generation leak tester, which is more than 50 percent smaller than the second-generation model and uses compressed air to test for leaks. One trend making noticed at this year's show is that of supplier-performed quality testing. According to Instron, it makes more sense for quality testing to be done by the supplier because it is more efficient that way. Testing performed by the supplier does not interrupt the manufacturing process.> The 2005 dates for the biannual show have not yet been released.

At the centre of Harrison Birtwistle's new work is The Moth Poem by Robin Blaser, librettist for Birtwistle's opera The Last Supper, in which the poet traced eerie nighttime sounds in his house to a moth caught under the lid of a piano, touching the strings in its efforts to escape. This poem is combined by Birtwistle with a list of moth names, drawing him back to his teenager years when he was fascinated by their mysterious existence and understated beauty. Scored for twelve female singers, three harps and alto flute, The Moth Requiem explores a loss of childhood dreams and the evanescence of life.

Sofia Gubaidulina's score for orchestra and organ is developed from a passage in her St John Easter, describing the first of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse described by St John in the book of Revelation.

Anna Clyne Masquerade (world premiere)
> Concert info
The British-born, US-based young composer Anna Clyne is currently resident with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra where she has been creating a range of new works for the orchestra and Riccardo Muti. Her Last Night commission is a five-minute curtain-raiser to the final festivities, drawing inspiration from the original promenade concerts held in London's pleasure gardens in the mid-18th century. Clyne's work combines exuberant fanfares with musical gestures drawn from the period when the dances would have been elaborately staged as a masquerade.

Today in 1777: Valley Forge
from Smithsonian National Museum of American History
Today in 1777: Gen. Washington, owner of this camp chest, leads his army to Valley Forge to camp for the winter.
Dimensions: 30″ H x 21.25″ W x 15″ D
Physical Description
Camp chest made of pine covered in leather. The chest is lined with green wool fabric and has iron hinges, facings, and handles. The chest contains a cooking stove, folding pots, utensils, plates, platters, bottles, and other cooking items.
Specific History
One of the three camp chests known to have been owned by General George Washington.
General History
Washington usually slept and dined in the homes of well-to-do residents. On those occasions when he encamped with his army, the troops carried tents, a collapsible bed, folding tables, camp stools, and bags and trunks filled with equipment. Two sets of camp chests were purchased by Washington on 3 May 1776. Another set was captured from a British ship and sent to Washington in October 1778. By 1782, Washington's camp equipment was so extensive that he requested from Quartermaster Timothy Pickering two horses just to carry the load.
The Continental Army and George Washington's shared sacrifice was for the government's right to spread the wealth around. Yes?

What I have always loved about your posts, Illustr8r is that you remind all of us that we as Americans have a history.
In this day and age, when most people expect us to feel shame at our history and heritage, you give us reasons to be proud.
There is no finer Christmas gift you could offer us. Thank you.+2
George would be beating the shit out of the Progtards with his wooden teeth.+1
@Diann Thank you very much- that is so nice to hear.
I get very frustrated looking for Founding Fathers history articles to post because the first stories that pop up usually are about slavery. Someone has a new book about or there is a new exhibition opening about..slavery and the old white guy founders.
It's also frustrating to see that the majority of historians are leftist and don't care much to defend the Founders…and now they use our American history to trash the Tea Party. That's the latest angle that I've seen.
Everyone is given the benefit of the doubt and a break for good intentions but the Founders need to be held accountable for everything that is "wrong" with America. Toss that outdated and racist Constitution-Obama and his followers have the better way. I'd like O to write down the new articles we are suppose to live by.
After awhile it's just disheartening. The feeling I have had since the election.
BUT my love of our American History hasn't waned regardless what "they" say about it.

Why is the empahasis in the SI write up about how much stuff GW carried around for his comfort?
Is it just me, or is this more not-so-subtle bashing of another FF?
Geez Us Criminy.+1
When my husband and myself went to DC for the Sept 12, '09 march we took a side trip to George Washington's Mount Vernon. What an incredible experience that was. It is hard to explain, but I felt more reverence walking all around the property moreso than going through the house itself. I'm sure the land, our American soil, meant more to him than any house or bed he ever rested his tired bones in.
I felt deeply honored to see what Mr. Washington loved so much in life that is now being cared for so lovingly by patriotic Americans who greatly appreciate this amazing yet humble man who sacrificed much so that I could be born and raised in a nation free from tyranny.
I pray his efforts were not a temporary endeavor. We all owe our founding father's a lot more than we have been giving them lately.+4
Going back seven generations, one of my ancestors, a lieutenant in the continental army, took his oath of allegiance to George Washington at Valley Forge. Since Washington wouldn't serve with any officers who weren't Freemasons, I wonder if my ancestor was already a Freemason or if that was when he joined. He got a land grant in what is now eastern Kentucky for his service.+2
"Why is the empahasis in the SI write up about how much stuff GW carried around for his comfort?
Is it just me, or is this more not-so-subtle bashing of another FF?"
I dunno. Perhaps.
Fancy accoutrements for their day maybe. But I think we are all smart enough to know George Washington was not always luxuriating in comfort during that time frame. A tent, is a tent, is a tent. Not much separating man from the elements.
Everything revolving around that time frame fascinates me. From the luxurious to the mundane. It is all part of history. It is all part of the ongoing story of mankind.+1

Dog reaching for treats sparks house fire

A dog reaching for treats on top of a stove sparked an apartment fire in Washington, fire officials said.
It appears the black Labrador was trying to get at a bag of dog food when it accidentally turned the stove on with its paw, Wenatchee Fire Marshal Mark Yaple told KPQ radio.
The dog's owners weren't home at the time.
Firefighters were able to rescue the pooch, but had to revive the animal using snout-to-mouth resuscitation, according to KPQ.
Damages are estimated at $10,000.

Note: Palm oil production is a main driver of deforestation in Indonesia. It will certainly have the same impact in Peru and Colombia. Using monoculture tree plantations to replace our insatiable need for fossil fuels is dangerous. Increasing the presence of palm oil plantations also supports the development of new genetically engineered tree species, like GE Eucalyptus, which are more suited to thrive in fast growing plantations. Sign the petition to stop GE trees here. And sign on to stop the free trade agreement between the EU, Peru and Colombia here
-The GJEP Team
December 4, 2012. Source: Rainforest-Rescue
Conflicts between local residents and mining companies over land and water in Peru and Colombia have worsened steadily in recent years. In August 2012, 148 environmental conflicts that cost 16 human lives were listed in Peru. The situation is even worse in Colombia. Transnational corporations are destroying the environment while maintaining documented connections to paramilitary organizations that silence critical voices. 34 trade unionists were killed in 2012 alone.
The situation threatens to escalate further with the adoption of a free trade agreement between the EU, Colombia and Peru. Binding environmental and human rights standards were removed from the agreement under pressure from the industry – despite the fact that the EU itself has noted in a report that without such standards, the free trade agreement would endanger water quality and biodiversity in both countries and promote the destruction of fragile ecosystems. Even in prior trade agreements with Colombia and Peru, these standards were more pronounced.
In addition to mining and oil drilling, palm oil plays an important role in the agreement – it is slated for duty-free import in order to satisfy Europe's hunger for cheap vegetable oil. This is an incentive to expand the plantations in both countries. In Colombia, oil palm plantations already cover 360,000 hectares. The palm oil boom has spared Peru so far. Yet plans have been drawn up that mark over 4.3 million hectares of rainforest territory as suitable for oil palm plantations. Pilot projects are already showing the devastating effects of monocultures on the people and environment in Peru.
Please urge EU parliamentarians to reject the free trade agreement for social and environmental reasons.

Episode #17 – Capturing Wisdom with Storyteling
Madelyn Blair's company name Pelerei represents two root words that mean "lifting people up." She made up the name as a hidden reminder of who she is and why she is here. Learn more about Madelyn's books: Riding the Current and Essays in Two Voices.
In Essays in Two Voices Madelyn offers a simple process for two people to better understand an issue with by examining an issue together by sending short essay responses back and forth. We have so little time for pure inquiry, this process occurs when you have time for it, minimizes hidden agendas and gives permission to think a bit deeper and take some risks.
Her book Riding the Current is an excellent way to look at the stories we tell ourselves about what it takes to "stay current" and test out a new story that might make it a bit easier than we think
Madelyn discusses how Twitter, Facebook, Linked in, and other social media platforms showcase great stories told in non-traditional ways. She reiterates that stories don't engage because of technology but because the story is interesting. Stories aren't interesting without the creative tension of conflicting values or some obstacle blocking a goal.
When I asked if Madelyn had seen many storytelling mistakes she noted that when someone discovers storytelling, they want to use it everywhere and tell a story even when they don't need one. When a story is needed she says some people confuse a simple narration of events with a story. Narration without tension or dilemma won't engage listeners like a real story. And she recommends you ensure that the tension or dilemma in your story relates to the business situation.
During a discussion of Madelyn's success using the principles of appreciate inquiry, we both credit Doug Lipman for the advice that "if you listen well enough, you can listen a story out of someone." Listening is vital to appreciative inquiry and storytelling. Merging the principles of both creates a flow of communication that steadily deepens understanding.
Madelyn shares a storytelling exercise she uses with groups to improve mood, reveal core values, transfer important wisdom, or reveal pockets of wisdom important enough to share. She asks the group to pair off or gather in small groups and to "Tell each other about a project you are really proud of."

3.1 Christian Resources: Bible Reading Plans
Whether the New Year just scooted past you without you selecting a Bible reading plan—or the plan you chose didn't suit you after all—it is never too late to choose one. Look at the ones suggested at Back to the Bible and jump in. Begin at the beginning or join the plan in progress, but read!
3.2 Thrifty Ideas: February Is National Children's Dental Health Month
It certainly is less expensive to teach children lifelong habits of good dental care than to pay to fix dental problems. Here is an article with several links to trivia, experiments and demonstrations, books, educational resources, and quiz questions.
3.3 Preschool and Kindergarten: 11 Learning Activities Perfect for Preschoolers
Need a fresh idea to occupy a little one? For starters, your pint-sized detective can match footprints in play dough with the toys that made them. These ideas are sure to spark more you can share on your blog, at support group, at park day…
3.4 Creation Science: Bill Nye vs. Ken Ham
For a limited time you can watch the recent debate between Blll Nye "the Science Guy," and Ken Ham of the Creation Museum, who is also a past HEAV Convention speaker. After a period of time, it may be taken offline and available for purchase only. (Be patient, the video takes quite a while to load.
3.5 Family Fun: Five Brain Boosting Winter Time Activities
The contributors suggest some games and toys (to purchase) that they say will give the brain a workout when the weather has you cooped up indoors.

LEGO Digital Designer, a free download from LEGO.com, lets your kids create custom designs using a digital builder.
3.6 Arts and Crafts: March Is National Craft Month – Crafts for Kids
While not glitzy, this simple site touches on categories such as bead crafts, paper crafts, and yes, their purpose is to sell you the materials for crafts–but behind those plain headings and salesmanship, there are IDEAS! How about a notebook to keep records of needlework or other hobbies? We keep academic records of all sorts, but do we keep hobby project records? The records could be of crafts, art, special dinners, and holidays…
3.7 English: Janice Campbell on Alternatives to Writing a Literary Analysis
In an ultra-short entry, Mrs. Campbell (known for writing advice) gives seven alternatives to longer formal writing. Your reluctant writers will thank you.
3.8 History: Constitution Lapbook and Much More
The hands-on aspects of lapbooks help engage younger students as they study a subject sometimes not known for being captivating; broken down into smaller bites, the important details can seem less intimidating. Since the lapbook is free–as are other projects on this mom-built site–it's easy on the budget. See the left sidebar for unit studies, worksheets, copywork, record-keeping, notebooking, and more! Be sure to share what you have created to keep sites free and full of new material.

i am:
a dreamer.
in love with weddings and anything to do with weddings.
able to trick people into thinking i am a cynic in regards to love. but i'd call myself a realist.
in love with love, despite my exterior emotions.
constantly inspired by others.
looking for more inspirations.
like many other girls, weddings and everything that goes along with it, is a day we look forward to. while the chaos and stress can overtake us in the months before, the love, the beauty, the emotions, and the whole idea of two soulmates uniting is such a wonderful thing to be celebrated.
i am not bride-to-be, nor do i plan on being one anytime soon. but i love being inspired by what others have done so far for weddings, especially with photography and cinematography. in the end, it's these vendors that help make your day memorable and this blog is just a way to show them off.

FLORIDA, April 18, 2013 — After a few months on the back burner, illegal immigration is once again dominating our national dialogue.
Yesterday, the much talked about Gang of Eight legislation was made available to the public. It is called the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act.
That the first two words form the initial B.S. could not be more appropriate.
Daniel Horowitz, a blogger at RedState, delivered an excellent analysis of this 844-page-long monstrosity. As of his posting, he had read 100 pages. He says that "there is one overarching theme. This bill will keep our system in a perpetual state of de facto amnesty for years to come, engender the need for future amnesties, and never ensure true enforcement."
Horowitz points out that "this bill fails to mandate any specific trigger for legalization". If the Secretary of Homeland Security presents a plan for securing dangerous points along our borders in a half-year period, then illegals become eligible for what is called Regitered Provisional Immigrant status.
Horowitz explains how "(t)he bill prescribes a 12-month open enrollment process for the RPI status….it cedes a lot of power to the Secretary. She will have the authority to extend the application period for another 18 months (page 69). Now, we know from the conditions of the bill that almost every illegal in the country could be eligible for RPI status until proven otherwise. In fact, even some aliens already deported can come back and apply for the status."
As if trying to achieve the impossible, B.S.E.O.I.M.A. gets worse.
According to Horowitz, the Department of Homeland Security will be forced to allow illegals, including those in custody, to apply for RPI status. "During this period of no deportations," he says, "many more people will come here illegally or overstay their visas. What would be the deterrent? Does anyone really believe that after the application process is over, they will suddenly make a 180 and deport those who didn't come forward?"
Here's the clincher: "(G)iven that the E-verify and watered-down visa tracking system don't have to be implemented for 10 years, we will be dealing with many more illegals." Still sorrier is that "(b)y the time the 10-year deadline comes due to grant the RPI illegals green cards and citizenship (unconditionally within 3 years), we will probably have more illegals than we have now."
Horowitz warns that the RPI status "will ostensibly halt all deportations for 2.5 years. Subject to the discretion of the DHS….they could completely shut down deportations because any illegal can potentially be here before 2012….And anyone could potentially be eligible for the Dream Act, because, unlike previous iterations, this one does not mandate a maximum age for eligibility."
If this doesn't convince all reasonable Americans to not board the GoE's gravy train, then I don't know what will.
In addition to mocking the efforts of legal immigrants, the B.S. bill will allow for an economic nightmare to become America's reality. The economy is bad enough as it is; can one imagine what it will be like with millions of additional low-skilled laborers flooding the job market? Twenty years from now, becoming a fry cook might be a competitive career path in the same way that white-collar professions are today.
This is sheer madness. Whether one tilts toward the left, leans over to the right, or stands tall in the center, the B.S. bill is bad for all of us. Ethnicity, race, or religion matter not a whit; amnesty has no prejudices of any kind. It is sure to cause fiscal chaos on as diverse a spectrum as can be imagined.
Can there be a worse immigration policy than this? Other than reverting to the days before America even had immigration restrictions, how on earth can there be a more ludicrous plan?
Don't be fooled by slick talkers like Marco Rubio, who spent a great deal of time on the Sunday talk shows shilling B.S. to the masses. Don't be fooled by partisan claptrap, either. Don't even be fooled by the common left-center-right ideological labels. The campaign against amnesty is not a matter of personal charisma, party rancor, or conservatives-versus-liberals.
It is a matter of preserving the quality of life which Americans have known since our country entered the first world.
We must never, ever forget that.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

As the cast tells ET, the upcoming sitcom series Guys with Kids, created and produced by late-night host Jimmy Fallon, takes brand-new content with a unique angle that also has a classic feel. 'It's written very intelligently. I feel like the characters are really solid,' said Zach Cregger, who plays one of the 'guys' on the show. 'It kind of feels like one of those great classic multi-cam [shows] that I grew up with, like 'The Cosby Show' or 'Roseanne' and 'Cheers.''
