I graduated from UW Bothell with my degree in Community Psychology in the summer of 2011. Fast forward two years and I have just completed my first year of graduate school in Spokane, where I am currently pursuing my Master's in Occupational Therapy. Through the guidance and support of friends, mentors, professors, and staff in the Career Center at UW Bothell I was able to find a career that I am immensely passionate about. Occupational therapy is the field of my dreams because it allows me to never stop learning about physical, emotional, and cognitive recovery in order to help make a difference in lives of people of all backgrounds on a daily basis for the rest of my career.
UW Bothell gave me the foundation I needed to understand people on a complex level. As I go through my graduate schooling, I am amazed at the overlap of my community psychology undergraduate degree and occupational therapy.
As you are making the decision about your major and ultimately your career path, look at what aspects of life make you excited to be alive. It's different for everyone. Talk to professors you trust and UW Bothell career counselors to brainstorm majors and careers that fit well with what you already love because in my experience it really is true: "If you do what you love, and love what you do then you'll never work a day in your life."
Students interested in OT are welcome to contact me and I'm happy to answer any questions they may have about the profession. firstname.lastname@example.com

CORPUS CHRISTI - One of our viewers sent us video of an accident last night involving a Corpus Christi police officer. Iit was just after 11:30 last night when the viewer shot the video on the 1600 block of Shoreline Boulevard.
The officer was headed to backup another officer on a nearby traffic stop when he moved to take a left turn, but the driver in the far left lane did not stop and crashed right into his partol car.
The lane is a left turn only lane but the driver kept going straight when the officer turned on his lights.
The driver was a 13-year-old girl. She's been ticketed for driving without a license, driving without insurance, failure to yield to an emergency vehicle and giving police a false name.
She was also cited for curfew violation along with another 13 year old and a 16 year old who were in the car with her. No one was hurt.

Crock-Pot Creme Brulee French Toast
Creme Brulee French Toast
(Printable Recipe)
12 ounces challah or sweet bread (such as Portuguese or Hawaiian sweet bread), cut into 1-inch cubes (about 9 cups)
4 cups milk
1/2 cup sugar
3 eggs, or 3/4 cup refrigerated or frozen egg product, thawed
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
Caramel ice cream topping, warmed
Place bread cubes in prepared slow cooker. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together milk, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and salt. Pour over bread cubes in cooker. Press bread lightly with back of a large spoon to moisten bread completely. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 4 to 24 hours. Remove from refrigerator. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 7 to 8 hours or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Turn off cooker. Let stand for 30 minutes. Slice French toast to serve or spoon it into serving dishes. Top with ice cream topping. Makes 12 servings.

I agree, it looks more like bread pudding than french toast. Not that I think that detracts from it, it looks awesome!ReplyDelete
Lucky you with the sleeping! I have the opposite problem so I'm always up early! :-) I love breakfast and this looks really great! Great blog title!ReplyDelete
Wow, this looks so yummy. I'm going to try it this weekend.ReplyDelete
I like the overnight cooking part so I'll give this a try.ReplyDelete
But with the creme brulee in the name, I was hoping to use a torch;)
I just love making breakfast, but I'm always so hungry in the morning that I don't like waiting all that time to make it. This will solve my problems! Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
What a fabulous idea. Love this and it looks so delicious. Thanks, will be saving this one.ReplyDelete
Steph - Please stop by my blog for an award.ReplyDelete
I don't like getting up early either but unfortunately the kids want to eat and they don't want cereal. That's where recipes like this come in handy.....thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
So disappointing. This smelled WONDERFUL when we woke up this morning, but was a soggy MESS after baking for 7+ hrs.ReplyDelete
If it turns out too wet, take the lid off and leave it on low for another 20-30 minutes.ReplyDelete
This was a fail for me as well. It turned out sunken, overly brown and burned around the edges (nothing like the above picture). I cooked it on low for 7.5 hours. Maybe my slow cooker runs hot? We scooped out the middle and it tasted ok, but most of it went into the trash. :(ReplyDelete
This...was...awesome! After it finished cooking, I sprinkled the top with sugar and bruleed it. The crunchy bits with the custardy French toast really made it pop!ReplyDelete

AD Carry
Team History
Widely considered to be one of the top teams in North America, TSM eclipsed other teams in the region by consistently reaching the winner's podium at major events like IEM, MLG, IPL, and the NA Regionals.
After building up some of the biggest personalities in League of Legends through popular streams and a content-rich community site, TSM used this visibility in tandem with their raw talent to develop one of the biggest names in the region.
For the first time ever, TSM fell to the No. 2 spot behind Cloud 9 in the Season 3 summer split prompting them to adjust the lineup with longtime leader, Reginald, stepping down from his starting position in favor of the highly regarded Bjergsen. With Bjergsen, TSM saw strength that rose with their competition, and largely enjoyed a strong showing in the 2014 spring split. At the end of the split, however, TSM fell to second place again, losing the playoff finals to Cloud 9 in a 3-0 sweep.
But if there's one thing you can say about TSM, it's that they know how to bounce back. The 2014 summer split saw the team enjoy tremendous success, ultimately getting revenge against Cloud9 by defeating them to take first place in the summer playoffs. Now Team SoloMid stands with Worlds before them. Only time will tell if the story of their 2014 success continues after the summer playoffs.

How much do you spend on your commute?
It may be more than you think.
There are hidden costs in driving alone to work every day, beyond
gas and tolls. And we all know too well how much the recent increases in gas prices has
impacted our budget!
According to the American Automobile Association
(AAA-Cost of Driving),
it costs an average of 54.0 cents per mile to drive a car: this includes gasoline ($2.70
per gallon), oil, maintenance, tires, and depreciation.
Say you had a 50-mile round-trip commute.
At 54.0 cents per mile:
Your daily commute cost would be $27.00
Your monthly commute cost would be $568.00
Your annual commute cost would be $6804.00
And this wouldn't even include tolls or parking.
Use the calculator to find out the true cost of
your own drive-alone commute:

Avnet Memec To Host Microsemi SpeedWay Design Workshops™, Featuring SmartFusion2 SoC FPGAs
Avnet Memec, a division of Avnet Electronics Marketing Americas, a business region of Avnet, Inc. (NYSE: AVT), will host a new series of Microsemi SpeedWay Design Workshops™, featuring the new Microsemi SmartFusion2® SoC FPGAs. The workshop series kicks off Feb. 19 in San Jose, Calif., and Philadelphia, and will be held in 26 cities throughout North America.
Click to Tweet: Avnet Memec to host workshops featuring Microsemi SmartFusion2 SoC FPGAs http://ow.ly/h6Cj9
The SpeedWay event will provide an in-depth look at Microsemi's new SmartFusion2 SoC FPGA and how to harness its capabilities by using this new, compact development platform. Microsemi's SmartFusion2 Starter Kit gives designers access to industry standard interfaces, including Ethernet, USB 2.0 OTG, SPI, I2C and UART, while including a comprehensive breadboard area to support unique design requirements. The kit comes preloaded with uClinux and can be booted in 0.5 seconds. Also included is a USB WiFi module that supports Ralink 5370 wireless radios, allowing uClinux to set up a wireless access point that serves DHCP WiFi connections. Users can then start an HTTPD server and access the SmartFusion2 SoC FPGA via a mobile Web browser from a smart phone or other wireless devices.
Taught by Avnet's technical experts, the workshops combine informative presentations with hands-on labs, from introductory to complex labs and demonstrations. The workshops will benefit engineers new to FPGA technology, those seeking to enhance proficiency with the ARM® Cortex™-M3 on-chip processor and integrated FPGA/M3, and those requiring security, reliability and/or low power in their applications.Recommended prerequisites for the workshops are basic HDL design experience and familiarity with C programming, but are not required. "SmartFusion2 SoC FPGAs are the only devices to address the necessary requirements for advanced security, high reliability and low power in critical industrial, military, aviation, communications and medical applications," said Kris Burgoon, vice president, Avnet Memec and Avnet Electronics Marketing Americas. "Hosting this series of Microsemi SpeedWay Design Workshops enables Avnet Memec to offer engineers the informative tools they need to understand and gain expertise with these products – in a hands-on laboratory environment."

Made from the sap of maple wild. For the extraction of the sap is made an opening in the bark of trees. The sap collected is deposited in a container and its volume is reduced. Delicious to prepare crepes, custards, muesli, yogurt, fruit, cookies and drinks.
Once opened, store in the refrigerator.

Submitted by admin on
I'd like to describe the Have you ever… activity I did with my 5th formers (12 y.o.). I chose this activity because we have recently covered Preset Perfect and it is a good activity to revise it. No extra materials are needed, only the teacher and the students are involved. The teacher has to prepare a set of questions that are interesting for students and are related to their experience. I learnt about the activity at http://wilderdom.com/games/Icebreakers.html . The teacher asks her students to make a circle. She explains that she is going to ask questions. If the answer is "yes", a student runs to the centre of the circle and gives a high five to another student running to the centre. The teacher asks questions with Have you ever…:Have you ever been to Africa?Have you ever eaten mango?Make sure the students don't hurt each other. Instead of giving high five, students can shake hands. My students liked the activity, but it overexcited them. To settle them down, I asked the students to do a written exercise. This kind of exercise helps create group cohesion. I think, body contact is important as it helps break barriers, though it can sometimes be embarrassing. The teacher can participate, it can help build rapport with the students. The activity can be easily adopted. With younger learners we can ask questions such as Can you …? Have you got a ….? Do you like …? The activity can also be used as a stirrer. It's a good revision exercise for particular grammar points. I'll definitely use it again, as the students liked it, but a settling activity has to follow it. I would not use it with a big group of students (there are 11 in mine).

Some political scientists, for example, say that the Economic Man may be very nice for playing games with but that he is an abstraction who does not exist, while Hitler and Stalin are real and not to be played with. Economic analysis, they say, not only does not help us to understand such political actors but makes it more difficult to bring them within the purview of social science by systematically excluding or deforming their specific motives. Economists, seeking mathematical convenience, turn us away from the consideration of the most important social phenomena.Allan David Bloom

I've been told I sound like I'm out of an old movie; that perhaps I'm faking my voice, that it's nice, that it's not nice all kinds of things. Well it's my voice.

If, in spite of the precautions you take in order to protect your corporal integrity, you get hurt due to the wrongdoing of a person or company, you must receive a rightful compensation for the prejudice you suffered. Sometimes, the negligent party is not so willing to admit the responsibility for causing the incident, so the matter must be settled in court.
Due to the complexity of the legal procedures, you need the assistance of someone who is specialized in this field, who can present the circumstances of your case in court, so that the verdict can be in your favor. This person is called a personal injury attorney – Miami being the place where many such specialists work.
Requirements in Order to Become a Personal Injury Lawyer
All the aspirants to this profession must have a college degree, obtained after minimum four years of study, and they must also possess a degree in law, obtained after following the courses of an accredited law school. This rule applies in all states, except for California, where the law degree can also be obtained after studying at a law school that does not have all the accreditations.
The candidates must then pass several written and oral examinations that are expressly stipulated by the laws of the state in which they intend to activate. The Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE), the Multistate Essay Examination and the Multistate Bar Examination are the three mandatory exams that must be passed by the candidates in order to be admitted for the final step, the state bar examination.
Once he or she becomes a member of the Florida state bar, a Miami personal injury attorney has the obligation to be always up to date with the most recent changes in the legislation. For this, he or she must also follow the Continuing Legal Education courses that are periodically organized by the American Bar Association (ABA).
All these courses and exams are necessary for the lawyers specialized in personal injury to be able to always provide the best services to the people who need them. As a client, you must show no hesitation in asking the attorney that you intend to hire for more details about his or her specialization and experience in the field, about the percentage of cases with a favorable verdict and any other questions that you consider relevant in order to make the best choice.
The Obligations of a Miami Personal Injury Lawyer
The duties of an attorney who specializes in Florida personal injury law are of ethical and professional nature. The ethic code of lawyers applies in all states, as it is stipulated in the US Constitution. According to it, a personal injury lawyer owes loyalty to all his or her clients, working exclusively in their benefit.
These legal counselors must also offer confidentiality, the information provided by the people who need their services being used exclusively in the benefit of the case. The state bar association and the national professional organizations have the right to take disciplinary sanctions against those who do not comply with the principle of confidentiality.
As a professional, a personal injury attorney from Miami or anywhere else in the country has the obligation to analyze completely each aspect of the case, identifying the sources of potential problems. The solutions to these problems must be based entirely on the legal stipulations in the field and on what the existing pieces of evidence suggest.
As a client, you also have the obligation to help the legal counselor as much as you can. For instance, if you need a Miami car accident lawyer, you must tell him or her the whole truth about the circumstances of the incident, even if some of them are not in your favor. Also, you must keep all the bills from the hospital and the car repair, so that the attorney can use them in negotiating the settlement with the negligent party.
Independent Attorney or Law Firm?
This is a great dilemma for almost all people who need professional legal assistance. At first sight, hiring a lawyer who works solo presents more advantages, because he or she may accept almost any case, regardless of the amount you ask as compensation. Besides, you have more freedom in negotiating the payment, most of the legal counselors who work individually agreeing to be paid from the amount you receive as compensation.
A particularity of this profession consists in the fact that an attorney who works in the personal injury law field chooses to become specialized in only one of the numerous sub-branches of this domain. From this point of view, when you search for an accident lawyer, Miami law companies can offer you several options, without you spending too much time in the process. Most of them are also on the Internet, so you can find out the details you are interested in from the comfort of your home, with just a few clicks.
The main disadvantage associated with hiring a personal injury lawyer who works for a reputed law firm is of financial nature. The costs are higher than the fee charged by an independent attorney, and a part of the amount must be asked in advance. However, by using the services provided by a law office, your case is solved more efficiently, because the institution can afford to pay more experts and collaborators compared to the attorney who works solo.
Other Considerations
The aggressiveness in protecting the interests of their clients and the hastiness in bringing the case in front of the court, even if the negligent part manifests a disposition to solve the differences by signing an agreement outside it, are the main criticisms brought to the representatives of this profession.
From this point of view, you must appreciate a lawyer who chooses a more "peaceful" approach of the case, negotiating an advantageous out-of-the-court agreement. After all, your main purpose is to obtain a rightful financial compensation for the prejudice you suffered, and not to waste your time in court trials. The faster this matter is solved, the easier it is for you to leave everything behind and to turn to your old lifestyle.

1-2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup tahini
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/2 tspn salt

Poultry Litter 101: Education Helps Improve Storage and Application
Fertilizer costs have doubled in the last 10 years pushing producers to look for alternatives, such as poultry litter, to improve soil fertility. While this practice is more economical, it also has the potential for odor and water quality issues within the state if producers are not taught proper methods of field application and storage.
K-State Research and Extension partners with other organizations and agencies to develop a producer education program that promotes best management practices to deal with poultry litter — a mixture of poultry manure and bedding material such as sawdust, wood shavings, or rice hulls.
When used correctly, poultry litter can "provide a significant and important supply of nutrients for crop production in areas of Kansas where the supply of litter is available," said Doug Shoup, southeast Kansas crops and soils specialist.
Source of poultry litter
Kansas is not considered a major poultry producing state, but neighboring states Missouri, Arkansas, and Oklahoma rank among the largest poultry producers in the United States.
Environmental concerns have decreased the acreage available to receive poultry litter in these states and led to an increase in transportation of poultry litter into the southeast area of Kansas. A 2012 Kansas Farm Bureau (KFB) fact sheet states that an estimated 250,000 to 500,000 tons of litter are exported to Kansas annually.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) regulates only poultry litter generated by facilities in Kansas. Imported manure does not fall under the state's current regulations.
Concerns about the potential impacts of poultry litter on water quality and odor complaints have resulted in a collaborative effort among K-State Research and Extension, the Kansas Department of Agriculture Division of Conservation, KDHE, Natural Resource Conservation Service, KFB, and agricultural producer organizations in Kansas to educate producers about best management practices (BMPs.)
The Kansas approach
Kansas' current approach to the use of poultry litter imported from surrounding states is a voluntary, incentive based conservation program using state and federal cost-share dollars.
By pooling resources, the partners increase producer awareness about using poultry litter and promote BMPs that protect water quality.
K-State Research and Extension developed the Poultry Litter 101 education program and a storage site evaluation tool to address two key concerns with poultry litter — proper storage and appropriate application.
Effects on water quality
"If the current voluntary education-based approach is not successful and poultry litter is mismanaged, we could see negative impacts on Kansas water quality," said Peter Tomlinson, K-State environmental quality specialist. "The bigger concern is the potential for a lawsuit from a border state over water quality."
The poultry litter educational programming addresses the basic composition, fertilizer value, and BMPs that minimize the risk of nutrient runoff and odor from the storage and land application.
Tomlinson said that proper storage of manure is important to prevent runoff contamination of water because of the concentrated nature of the litter. Precipitation runoff from litter piles and from fields can quickly create nutrient overloading in surface waters of Kansas.
The Poultry Litter 101 education program encourages producers to stockpile the litter on sites with minimal slope and water draining into the area. To avoid nuisance complaints, storage should occur away from homes and frequently used structures. Covering the stockpile can help prevent the volatilization of nitrogen, thereby preserving the maximum value of the product.
The site evaluation tool developed by K-State Research and Extension provides producers with a metric to evaluate the suitability of potential storage sites and takes into consideration site conditions such as proximity and slope to water ways, soil type, size and type of buffer, and distance to neighboring homes and water wells.

OMG!!! the flying sushi and the jazz record player!!!
dreams are weird. i will tell you the one i had last night. here i go...okay, i was sitting by the edge of the lake with melissa. it was night so everything was shadowed and lighted by the moon gently resting in the sky above the water. we were sitting on the grass watching these little cherries dance in a circle. and then out of no where steve pops out of the water. we're just sitting there is shock and melissa goes "what the fuck!? where did you come from!?" and he said, " oh you know! but guess what!? i found purple bubbles at the bottom. when you pop them they insult you. its hilarious" after some moments of silence heather comes bounding out of the trees wearing cat ears and paws. she leaps next to us, only able to say meow. so we all just sit there listening to heather's meows. after a little bit of that, steve gets up and hops in the water singing, "tiny bubbles, in the wine, make me feel happy, make me feel fine" and he disappears. heather then walks over to the water and begins catching a mountain of fish with this anime cat like smile. it twas cute. melissa and i were like "okaaaaay" so we decided to walk the around the lake, all the while you can here water-filled singing from the lake(steve) and purrs(heather). so there we are, walking and talking about sexual experiences when we happen upon nnenna, mark, and faith. nnenna was a rabbit thing, mark was something like a mad hatter, and faith was sitting in a huge dotted dress. all of them were playing cards and passing around a pipe. so we join them. every puff that came out made a tune, so it was a circling song of nothing while we were playing some game that involved stripping. of course melissa was winning(at the fear of loosing her fleece). so after that we jump into the lake and play with the insulting bubbles and chase the fishies. and as i was about to catch one....i woke up. so thats it. yea. pretty fucked up.

Hello Everyone!
In starting this new post, I am reminded of the way we were taught as children to begin confession in true Roman Catholic style. "Forgive me Father, for I have sinned. It has been _____________ since my last confession." At this point, we either said "last week Thursday", easy to recall since our whole class was herded in weekly, or, later in our lives, we made it up (erring on the most recent option, hoping God wasn't keeping tabs). Well, I must say in this new age, I can look at precisely when I wrote my last blog post and it has certainly been a long long time. Tabs are being kept, and it ain't pretty.
Hey, it's not as if nothing was happening! In fact, there was just too much going on to know where to begin. I love writing and I miss it!!! And… mea culpa. Here I am once again, hopefully in the driver's seat, time-wise.
Let's start with recent news. Last month, after a four month wait since applying, I was awarded a generous grant to pursue a project very dear to my heart. The grant is the Ontario Arts Council Franco-Ontarian Arts Grant for Established Artists, and it is meant to help artists set aside time and resources to creating a body of work.
For my project, I propose to create an exhibition inspired by the world beneath the earth's surface, where roots meet the soil. Most of us are completely unaware of the millions of organisms that work the soil. In fact, soil life accounts for a much larger living mass than that which exists above ground, just as roots can outweigh and outsize the visible part of the tree. I have always been fascinated by the science of soil, and it has been the subject of much of my latest work.
In my search for inspiration, I recently became aware of the work of Prof Suzanne Simard of UBC. Dr Simard is studying how microscopic fungi act as a communication interface between one set of roots and another, creating bridges between various tree species to share resources. The network works much like the neural networks of our own brain. Through her work, we are learning that trees in a forest do not compete, but in fact cooperate with each other and share resources. This gives a forest more resilience and stability against adversity like disease or climate change. In every forest ecosystem, there are certain Mother trees – older, larger specimens – that serve as anchors for a large grouping of younger trees around them. When Mother trees die, they slowly release their stored nutrients and resources to all the trees in the network. Click on the image below for a wonderful video of Prof Simard, talking about Mother Trees.
Professor Suzanne Simard explaining her research
This research is a rich source of inspiration, both visually and conceptually. Also, it will be relevant to all who love trees and nature, and who care about the environment. I have been in touch with Dr Simard – she is eager to share more information and is excited about the exhibition. In fact, she invites me to come and see first-hand what she and her students are up to in the lab and in the field. Of course, I am saying YES!
So, here I am right at the beginning. Dr Simard sent me half a dozen papers and articles to read up on, and I've acquired a textbook for which she is a contributor. Happy to share this journey with you, along with all the digressions and distractions along the way.
Always yours,

The third Rocket (AMc-101) a coastal minesweeper, was laid down 6 September 1941 by Anderson and Cristofani, San Francisco, Calif.; launched 23 February 1942; sponsored by Mrs. N. Bruly of San Francisco; and placed in service 25 March 1942.
After shakedown along the California coast and training at the Local Defense School, Treasure Island, the new coastal minesweeper was assigned to the Western Sea Frontier Force. Transferred 16 March 1943 to the Naval Local Defense Force, 12th Naval District, she continued her sweeps and patrols to protect San Francisco Harbor, a major departure point for men and materiel to the Pacific fighting fronts. The war officially ended on 2 September and she was placed out of service 30 November 1945 and struck from the Navy list 3 January 1946. She was transferred to WSA for disposal 30 July 1946.

SmartSniff 用於擷取 TCP/IP 封包,輕巧精悍、實用便利;提供了三種擷取方式:原始通訊端 (Windows 2000/XP)、WinPcap 封包擷取驅動程式、網路監視器驅動程式;採用上下層窗格的方式,使您可以即時查閱 TCP/IP 的對話內! 容,同時也提供了三種檢視模式:自動、ASCII 以及 16 進位傾印模式。
SmartSniff allows you to capture TCP/IP packets that pass through your network adapter, and view the captured data as sequence of conversations between clients and servers. You can view the TCP/IP conversations in Ascii mode (for text-based protocols, like HTTP, SMTP, POP3 and FTP.) or as hex dump. (for non-text base protocols, like DNS)
SmartSniff provides 3 methods for capturing TCP/IP packets :
1. Raw Sockets (Only for Windows 2000/XP or greater): Allows you to capture TCP/IP packets on your network without installing a capture driver. This method has some limitations and problems.
2. WinPcap Capture Driver: Allows you to capture TCP/IP packets on all Windows operating systems. (Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista) In order to use it, you have to download and install WinPcap Capture Driver from this Web site. (WinPcap is a free open-source capture driver.)
This method is generally the preferred way to capture TCP/IP packets with SmartSniff, and it works better than the Raw Sockets method.
3. Microsoft Network Monitor Driver (Only for Windows 2000/XP/2003): Microsoft provides a free capture driver under Windows 2000/XP/2003 that can be used by SmartSniff, but this driver is not installed by default, and you have to manually install it, by using one of the following options:
* Option 1: Install it from the CD-ROM of Windows 2000/XP according to the instructions in Microsoft Web site
* Option 2 (XP Only) : Download and install the Windows XP Service Pack 2 Support Tools. One of the tools in this package is netcap.exe. When you run this tool in the first time, the Network Monitor Driver will automatically be installed on your system.
Notice: If WinPcap is installed on your system, and you want to use the Microsoft Network Monitor Driver method, it's recommended to run SmartSniff with /NoCapDriver, because the Microsoft Network Monitor Driver may not work properly when WinPcap is loaded too.
Version 1.40:
‧Added local/remote MAC addresses (relevant only for local network, and it doesn't work with raw sockets)
‧Added IPNetInfo integration - When you put IPNetInfo utility in the same folder of SmartSniff, You can view the information about the remote IP addresses.
‧Added IP Country columns to display the country name of IP addresses. (requires to download an external file from http://software77.net/cgi-bin/ip-country/geo-ip.pl )

According to recent reports, Steve Nash divorced his wife the day after she had their third baby because… *drum rolls* the baby turned out to be black. *gasp* Maury! Maury! Don't feel too sorry for Mr Nash cause he was cheating too! They believe the father is Sun's player Leandro Barbosa.
Barbosa was traded because Nash caught wind of the affair and he had to go…That's why Nash all of a sudden got divorced after his wife had the baby..He realized it wasn't his and then decided to split from her immediately following the birth.
The source
"This is the true story about Steve Nash's marriage break up. He had an affair with a 22 year old african american girl, while his wife was pregnant..The girls name is Brittany Richardson and Steve has been seen with her since July 2010, and they are still in a relationship"
Which brings me back to my facebook comments about humans being like cat and I'm seriously thinking that It's out of our nature to be in a monogamy relationship.
It was only in November that Nash announced his divorce with then wife and requested the court to witheld their premarital agreement citing "irretrievably broken" with "no reasonable prospect of reconciliation."
She released a statement claiming not understanding.
I still do not quite understand what interests possessed Steve to do such a thing at this moment, as he told me of his desire to divorce the day before the birth of our son. I thought I knew Steve better. But no matter how trying and disappointing the situation, Steve is the father of our family. I hope whatever the future holds this process will do right by all of them."
Well! What some drama!

If people would do for God what they do for the world, what a great number of Christians would go to Heaven!-St. John VianneyMy little children, your hearts, are small, but prayer stretches them and makes them capable of loving God. Through prayer we receive a foretaste of heaven and something of paradise comes down upon us. Prayer never leaves us without sweetness. It is honey that flows into the souls and makes all things sweet. When we pray properly, sorrows disappear like snow before the sun.-St. John Vianney

Tomb of Humayun, 1570 (Wikimedia Commons)
Built for the second Mughal emperor, Humayun, this Delhi tomb complex (which houses the graves of several Mughal emperors) set the bar for subsequent Mughal architecture. This was the first Indian imperial tomb complex to use a garden setting, an idea that was imported from the Safavid Empire. It was also the first to use red sandstone on such a massive scale. Design characteristics that would become typical of Mughal architecture include careful attention to symmetry, the use of red sandstone with a polished marble dome and trim, ogee arches, and the incorporation of Hindu architectural features such as chhatris ("umbrellas") on minarets and pavilions and the elevation of the sacred space by means of a square platform.
Jami Mosque, facade (Aga Khan MIT Visual Archive). This mosque, built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jehan in 1648, is the largest and arguably the most beautiful in India. Note again the characteristic features of Mughal architecture.
|Jami Mosque, dome and minarets (Aga Khan MIT Visual Archive). This is another view of the mosque complex depicted above.
|Taj Mahal, 1634 (www.indiagov.org). Shah Jehan built this memorial for his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, who died bearing their 14th child. It took 20,000 workers some 20 years to complete. The Taj Mahal epitomizes the Mughal emphasis on symmetry. It is also, like the tomb of Humayun, set in a garden.
|Decorative tombs of Shah Jehan and Mumtaz Mahal, inside the Taj Mahal (Incore). The actual tombs are beneath the ground; these are just for show. Note the spectacular inlay of semi-precious stones in the marble. This style of inlay work (pietra dura) is characteristic of Mughal decorative art.
Moti Masjid (Pearl Mosque) of Agra: Emperor Awrangzeb's delicate marble mosques illustrate his attempts to purify Mughal religious practices of non-Muslim influences. There are at least four Mughal mosques referred to as "pearl" mosques because they are made of polished marble. One, the Nagini Mosque, is inside the Agra fort complex and is often cited as an influence on Awrangzeb's architectural preferences. Awrangzeb's first Moti Masjid (below, right) was built inside the Agra fort in 1659. It is entirely marble--even the paving stones of the courtyard. In form, this mosque shares the hybrid architectual styles of Awrangzeb's predecessors (see interior arches, below).
|Awrangzeb's second Moti Masjid was a tiny, elegant mosque inside the Delhi fort. The Delhi fort is dominated by Shah Jahan's enormous sandstone Jami Mosque (above), which serves as the main mosque for the denizens of the palace. Awrangzeb preferred a more private location, and decided that a "graceful place of worship should be erected to enable him at various times of the day or night to pay his devotions without the trouble of a retinue or long journey." Thus the smaller Moti Masjid (left) was constructed in 1662 near Awrangzeb's private bedchambers (Brown, Indian Architecture, 121). It too is entirely marble, but its design was more deliberately Persianate than earlier Mughal mosques. Even in his architecture, Awrangzeb preferred Islam purified from indigenous cultural influences.

1. You didn't state how many watts your microwave is.
2. Seems bazaar they'd base cooking times on 1100 watts. Aren't more
microwaves under 1000 watts than over?
3. What's wrong with your regular oven?
I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Do you ever hit those points in your reading where you just don't know where to start? Usually, at this time of the year, I'm brimming over with reading ideas and books that I cannot wait to dive into. I've actually read some VERY good books this year (One Was a Soldier, The Bride Finder, Unveiled and a few more), but for some reason I feel like I'm hitting a wall. I have plenty of books in my TBR, but I just can't decide where to start.
I would distinguish this from a regular reading slump because my problem isn't that I just can't find anything that grabs me. My dilemma is more about being spoiled for choice. I've got books on my Kindle that sound fantastic, I've been getting fun-sounding review books and my print TBR hasn't exactly shrunk all that much. I look at my books and feel myself being pulled into way too many directions. I always have a review book to read, but it's what to read on the side that gets me.

Lashanda Wildgoose to represent The Bahamas at Miss Global International pageant
Miss Global Bahamas is a poised, educated, talented, outgoing and purpose-driven young woman. 24 years old and a graduate of Missouri Valley College, Lashanda has always been known for her big smile and engaging, loving character. She is an avid reader and would tell you that any time spent with a book is time well spent, and is always an opportunity to learn something new.
Lashanda, who is born to Wellington and Paulette Wildgoose of Freeport has always been interested in helping her community, an interest developed from her time at St. George's High where she was a member of various community service focused clubs, such as the Anchor Club. Over the years she has proven that she always strives for excellence and steps up to any challenges placed in her path; such as graduating from high school as the Salutatorian of her graduating class in 2005 and graduating Cum Laude from college in 2009.
Today, Miss Wildgoose is an educator, a career which has proven to be a rewarding, stimulating and challenging choice for her.
She sees this pageant as an opportunity to be a positive role model for young women and young people in general, as well as a proud ambassador for The Bahamas. She also wants to use it to advocate for her platform "Sexual Abuse Awareness", which is an issue near and dear to her heart as it affects too many young people in the Bahamas.
She is excited about everything this pageant has provided her thus far and is determined to enjoy everything else that comes along with it.
More information on Miss Global International can be found on their website: www.missglobalinternational.com
The pageant is endorsed by the Jamaica Tourist Board and blessed by Jamaica's Governor General and Prime Minister.

C.P. planners approve new library's site plan
By Carrie Napoleon Post-Tribune correspondent April 11, 2011 10:04PM
Updated: September 24, 2012 6:25AM
CROWN POINT — Planners gave their approval Monday to the site plan for the new library despite concern from one local developer the building does not fully capture the historic feel of the downtown.
The site plan for the library was approved 5-0 pending Board of Zoning Appeals approval on setbacks and variances, and the incorporation of the agreement between the city and library for the joint parking lot into the record.
Plan Commission President John Marshall said prior to the vote that while he respects developer and Realtor Thomas Fleming for what he has done for the city of Crown Point, the plan commission is not the right venue for his concerns.
"If the (Historic Preservation Committee) approved the plan, that is kind of what we have to go off," Marshall said.
Jeff Ban with DVG Engineers said the new library will sit on about 1.45 acres at 122 N. Main St. The city has purchased the Homann Karate Do to raze the building to make way for a combined library and municipal parking lot that will work as a green space buffer between the south of the library building and the existing downtown businesses.
The entrance to the library will be in the center of that green space buffer bringing library visitors from both Main and East street to the off street main entrance. There will be no entrance to the library on East or Main streets.
Chuck Wolf with Design Organization, the project architect, said design of the building has taken into account the concerns of the historic preservation committee.
The façade facing Main Street draws design elements from downtown turn of the century architecture common in Indiana including a kick plate, display window and transom. The second floor replicates the design elements of the first floor.
The structure, the majority of which is two story, will be a mix of limestone and red brick. A 6,500-square-foot third floor will be used for administration and storage and recedes from the front of the building.
Fleming said he understood the plan commission meeting was not the proper forum, but missed the opportunity to be heard before the Historic Preservation Committee. In a letter presented Monday to the Plan Commission, Fleming said he would consider filing an injunction to prevent the building from being constructed as it is currently designed.
After the site plan approval Fleming said he has been working on meeting with Mayor David Uran, the library board and the historic preservation committee regarding his concerns.
Fleming said he would like the façade of the building that fronts Main Street only to be redesigned to be more similar to the historic nature of other downtown buildings.
Fleming and his son Ryan said they are pro-library and want the building to be downtown, but are disappointed by the lack of effort to keep the design true to the historic nature of the downtown.
In his opinion, Thomas Fleming said the Historic Preservation Committee has held other business owners to higher standards when it comes to compliance than the library, possibly due to the desire to keep the library downtown.
"I think they are giving up too much," he said.

People are most likely to donate money to pre-K to grade 5 literacy
projects at schools close to home, according to information released by
Looker and
DonorsChoose.org is an online charity to help schools raise money.
The group enlisted the help of Looker, a data discovery and business
intelligence company, to analyze its data. The results of the
analysis are called the Giving Index,
which includes information about $60.2 million in donations made by 340,000
donors to 130,000 school projects during 2013.
The Giving Index revealed that donors gave more money to lower grades than
higher grades.
Donations by grade levels:
The index also found that the majority of projects requesting funding for the
lower grades were related to literacy, whereas projects for higher grades were
related to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) subjects.
Number of funding requests for literacy and STEM projects by grade level:
The majority of funding requests were for literacy projects, a category that
included purchasing books, and "classroom libraries were the most funded
projects of 2013," according to information provided by Looker.
The Giving Index also found that people were more likely to donate to
projects at local schools, with 50 percent of donors giving to projects at
schools within 25 miles of their home.
The top 5 cities requesting donations for schools were Chicago, with the
most requests, followed by Houston, Los Angeles, Brooklyn and Bronx. However,
the top 5 cities receiving donations for schools were Manhattan, with the
most donations, followed by Brooklyn, Chicago, San Francisco and Oklahoma City.
DonorsChoose.org is making 100 percent of its anonymized data through Looker
available to approved researchers, journalists and citizens. According to the organizations, people will be able to "access, explore,
visualize and share insights on 20+ million records of DonorsChoose.org
marketplace data, which will be combined with data on public educations."
Anybody interested in viewing the data can request access through the
DonorsChoose.org site.
