In sharp reaction to the latest NSA leak revealing Canada's acute interest in the Brazilian mining industry, President Dilma Rousseff condemned the "cyberwar" launched by the US and its allies against Brazil and demanded they stop the espionage.
View full story
Essentially, this is not a "police news" this one as it might seem, namely a bunch of investors bloated with valueless money (US dollars) trying to exchange them as soon as possible for NATURAL RESOURCES before the US dollar BUBBLE BURSTS..., it is about strategy...
The Anglo-Jews are desperately chasing world resources which look more and more dwindling... in order to maintain their POLITICAL and MILITARY control of the planet.
I seriously DOUBT about Canada's independence with respect to the international Jewry, thus: USA, UK and Israel....
To ask the US to stop spying is like asking a rat to stop being a rat! or, like asking the beast to give up its nature!
Brasil should slap some sanctions against certain US government agencies.Only then would the USA take Brasil seriously!
Who would have thought. The spying has nothing to do with US safety but everything to do with industrial espionage.
Who woulda have thought that averice is what is driving the world by powerful people who already probably have lots of money. . .
Most brazilians dislike Dilma, a former terrorist and still a communist. She works for the same people at the UN who speak of 'global governance' or one world government. If you have a look at some of her policies very populist and commie, eroding our national sovereignty just like Obama in the USA... Going against 'gringo' spying is her political ticket to win the next election because she is an absolute disaster in everything else, thats why there has been so much noise over this... the bankers and co must be laughing, two different countries both controlled and funded by them having tensions flair... they smell $$$

Man who burned himself while saluting the us flag in DC is a survivor of uss liberty. US govt is keeping his identity in secret in fear of triggering a revolt in the US.

"I used regular active dry yeast and the quick setting and the bread came out super! Will definitely use this recipe again!"
"Made this tonight but didn't have red pepper flakes or ginger. Used fresh minced garlic which I think gave it a better taste. Substituted red (cayenne) pepper. If I have leftovers would probably do again."
"Excellent recipe! Tried it tonight with a non cabbage eater who definitely enjoyed it! Definitely will try again but will probably use more onion next time. Also used H&H instead of milk and even with electric mixer it had a good even texture. Also I used kosher salt instead of table salt which gives it a nicer flavor."
"This is the 2nd time I've made it (but the first time I ate some!). This was a really simple and delicious recipe! I think I might add some cinnamon or something for a little spice the next time around. Thanks, vino girl!"
"So good!! This was a super quick and easy recipe and used up a bunch of different veggies. Thanks, akgrown!"
"I essentially halved the recipe and it still turned out great! I didn't have a spaetzle maker so I pushed the dough through a small colander and it worked just fine. At the very end, I dropped in some big chunks on accident and I liked the dumplings! I put a pad of butter underneath and poured the hot spaetzle over it. So yum! Thanks!"
"I made this tonight (though I used a little more sesame oil and threw in some olive oil) with asparagus that was probably at the end of its life and they still came up super yummy! Thanks for the recipe!"

I would recommend this item to a friend.
Very versatile top
May 19, 2013
Exactly what I was looking for. I'm large-chested, and I bought this shirt hoping to get something flowy and loose to transition from spring to summer. And that's what I got! I got this shirt in white. It's a little sheer, but it looks great with a tank top underneath. Its surprisingly well made, I expect it to last a couple seasons. Another winner!
Pros:Well made Good, loose fit
Cons:Sheer (this may not actually be a con depending on what you're looking for)

Forget Predictive Modeling, Try Leadership Forecasting
"Predicting is trend analysis," he says. "You have databases, you look at past data, find a mathematical equation that fits it, and use that to extrapolate into the future. You look at how the relationships have worked in the past and you come up with your prediction."
But data from the past quickly becomes obsolete in the rapidly changing healthcare business environment. From changes in reimbursement protocols to the advent of the Obamacare exchanges to a multitude of other drastic changes in how healthcare services are paid for and evaluated, predicting has lost its efficacy, Bauer argues.
"If the underlying circumstances that created that data have changed, then extrapolating from that data gives you stupid answers," he says.
Instead of attempting to predict outcomes based on old data, healthcare leaders should rely more heavily on forecasting, which is less precise but a more accurate gauge of how a particular innovation in care protocols or basic business strategy is likely to pay off.
Using forecasting is more helpful in both healthcare transformation as well as with the weather because there are too many variables involved to accurately predict an outcome.
"Weather is literally unpredictable, so you need a different way to look at it, which is by estimating probabilities and possibilities and weighing them," he says.
A Realm of Possibilities
The forecaster approaches the future as a realm of possibilities that can go any number of different ways. That results in a less specific glance at a possible future, but a much more accurate one, that will prevent unwise decision-making.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.
Jeffrey C. Bauer, Ph.D. (1/14/2014 at 4:53 PM)
While I appreciate Dr. Fischer's interest in my book, I respectfully disagree with his observations. He could not have made several of his comments if he had read the book first. For example, Upgrading Leadership's Crystal Ball clearly differentiates forecasting from scenario planning. Forecasting is a specific tool for estimating the realm of future possibilities; scenario planning focuses effort on preparing for a limited number of possible outcomes generally based on predictions, not forecasts. The last chapter provides considerable information about the strategic implications of this difference. Contrary to Dr. Fischer's assumption, my book also addresses the different circumstances under which predicting and forecasting are relevant in health care today. Mr. Betbeze's interview accurately captures my view that health care leaders are more likely to steer their organizations in better directions when they use possibility-driven forecasts [INVALID] not data-driven predictions [INVALID] to envision opportunities like vertically integrated, multi-stakeholder partnerships rather than predictable, horizontal networks of physicians and hospitals that have generally failed to solve the problems of cost and quality. Upon reading the book, Dr. Fischer will find extensive discussions of the modeling methodologies he suggests I should "learn about." I've been teaching and applying them for 40+ years and come to the conclusion that forecasting best fits the new and unprecedented realities of the 21st century.
Wayne G. Fischer, PhD (1/6/2014 at 12:36 PM)
What the quoted "expert" is describing is called scenario planning - it is a well-known and well-documented methodology. A classic case was Royal Dutch Shell's use of it to capitalize on the major disruption of crude oil prices back in the 1970s by OPEC. Either the author or the quoted expert misuse / confuse precision and accuracy, causing this reader to wonder if they really have any meaningful grasp of the subject matter. And the fact that if a system fundamentally changes, a model based on data before that change is no longer valid is a first principal of which anyone who has done any modeling is well aware. "Prediction," contrary to the quoted expert's implication, has a very important role to play in healthcare - operationally, tactically and strategically...because there are *many* types of modeling and prediction methodologies. I suggest the author and quoted expert learn about a few of them.
Frank Poggio (1/6/2014 at 11:11 AM)
Great piece, excellent points. Particularly liked his comment; "If the underlying circumstances that created that data have changed, then extrapolating from that data gives you stupid answers". In medicine the baseline and historical data are changing all the time. Medical protocols can get 'outdated' in a matter of months. Many of Mr. Bauer's points predict, as I do, that Big Data and Analytics will be the next HIT sink hole. Big Data and Analytics – The Next HIT Boondoggle!

"NRA Joins Mitch McConnell Against Rand Paul and Gun Owners for America"Submitted by Velveeta Underground on Thu, 05/26/2011 - 21:35
Article link to Reason online.
Have you ever known the NRA to be as gutless as they are now? They are worthless.
- Login to post comments
I gave up on the NRA
when Clinton was president.
GOA all the way! They back both Pauls.
dbl post
the NRA has been riddle with purse dogs for MANY years
the GOA is where it's at
did anyone read the NRA's response letter?
....from my understanding they basically said they don't support Paul's amendment because:
1) so far it seems the "Patriot" Act hasn't been used to abuse gun control
2) if Paul's amendment passed, the gov't would simply seek other measures of requiring
3) its poorly written!?!
Okay so...because it hasnt been used to abuse gun laws and because they would simply use other methods to obtain gun purchase records we don't support the amendment.
They Were Arm-Twisted
Item 1: they were told it hadn't been used that way
Item 2: they were threatened that if it passed, the congress would seek other measures the NRA wouldn't like
Item 3: the usual wiggle-room excuse
It's a typical political sandwich designed to gag the NRA.
Someone in Congress called them up and said, the GOA are on the other side, you must help us or else.
What do you think? http://consequeries.com/
Yes, this surprised me.
Yes, this surprised me. Washington is a cesspool. The right thing for our constitution is ruled out because of procedure, or delivery or writing skills. The Patriot Act (the entire thing) should be repealed. It does not belong in our country. Period. They want Rand to tow the line and cozen up to people to "get or retain power". It is so obvious how corrupt and snide these governors are. It is just plain wrong.
If anyone here has a
If anyone here has a membership with the NRA, cancel it now. send a letter to GOA, JPFO or another pro-second amendment organization and ask them to create a public letter to the NRA asking them why they would oppose Rand's amendment. Send a letter to the NRA asking why they would become advocates for the feds looking into your transactions to buy firearms. Clearly, this is just about a last minute scramble to pass the patriot act to get other Republicans on board with the NRA's validation, but we need to put this on record. This is beyond just a position of compromise.
Unless you are a liftetime member
Wouldnt make sense to revoke a lifetime membership, as that gives you voting rights and no further investment is required. Not that the NRA seems likely to be reformed at all, but lifetime members have nothing to lose by trying. Get involved in NRA governance and try to get some decent people at the helm of the organisation again instead.
But yeah, my NRA membership lapsed 20 years ago and I wont give them another penny as long as they remain a gun-control advocacy group in disguise.
I think that is a fair look
I think that is a fair look at it. I'm not too familiar with the ranks of their voting as far as how easy it is to change it from the inside, so if you are more active in the NRA, you probably know a little more about it than I do. But, I leave that for the individual to judge for themselves. As for me, my membership expired long ago as well, so I will try to hold them accountable for their statements and positions on Rand's amendment.
I don't know. If it's possible to end your 'life time' membership, depending on how dedicated you are to the NRA, that might be a pretty strong message as well.
How to respond...
Here's how true Arizona pro-RKBA enthusiasts have been handling "the NRA issue" for well over two decades now: Create distance.
1. Whenever someone mentions the NRA, seeking your approval or agreement, just politely say, "No, thanks - I don't support 'gun control' organizations." (A good argument has been made that we would not have had NFA-34, GCA-68 or Brady without NRA machinations.)
2. Anytime you send a letter to the editor or contact your elected reps about an RKBA issue, tack the following phrase onto the end of your message: "No, I am not a member of the NRA, nor does it speak for me." (Credit that one to the core committee of the AZ CCW '93-'94 campaign.) The media and the Congress always consult the NRA for opinion on issues; they need to understand that the NRA does not "represent" all gun owners.
3. If the NRA offers to "help" your project, politely decline. You really don't need to get laser painted for targeting that badly.
The NRA was founded by Union Officers.
Have you ever seen a Jefferson quote in an NRA publication?
I dropped the NRA and joined GOA several years ago, but those
bastards call and hairy ass me to rejoin..I told them don't call me ever again. Take me off your phone list please.
The problem is not the NRA.
The problem is not the NRA. It is the traitors who are currently running the NRA. This treasonous leadership needs to be replaced.
kinda like the traitors
kinda like the traitors running the Republican party.

LL on Twitter: http://twitter.com/LibertyPoet
sometimes LL can suck & sometimes LL rocks!
Love won! Deliverance from Tyranny is on the way! Col. 2:13-15
this pretty well flushed the NRA out of the brush.
We' ve been warning people for quite some time that the NRA cannot be trusted at all, at all, at all.
Now it is clear that the NRA is NOT a pro-gun organization nor is it a 2nd amendment rights organization, but it is a substitute for the real thing, designed by devious minded men to supplant the real thing.
Hardly anyone was more critical than me of some of Rand Paul's positions during the recent election. I note, however that he is in there fighting and doing a great yeoman's job.
NRA taken over long ago
The NRA has been worthless and compromised by the Establishment long ago.
The GOA is the biggest and most powerful no-compromise pro gun lobby. I've donated to them for years.
"It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a rEVOLution before tomorrow morning." - Henry Ford
The NRA has always been a
The NRA has always been a tool of gun regulators. Now, it is nothing more than a house organ for the Repuglican establishment.
I am in no way surprised by this. Not. in. the. least.
Every decent man is ashamed of the government he lives under. -- H.L. Mencken

Spindale-Rutherford County-North Carolina
I called NRA-ILA while Rand was waging his battle today...
... and asked them what their position on Rand's amendment was. The lazy sounding voice on the other end said they would look into it. I told him that the vote was imminent and asked why he did not already know what the issue was and already taken the obvious position of supporting Rand's amendment. He just kept repeating himself, as though that answered my question.
Well, if my question was "Are you trying to sabotage the Second Amendment, and with it the American Republic?", then his non-answer was a resounding, screaming "YES!!!"
I will not support the NRA any more. I will continue to support GOA, JPFO (JPFO.org) and so far from what I have read "National Association for Gun Rights" (Dudley Brown) also appears to have it right.
Would appreciate any first hand info on NAGR here, since my exposure to them is limited.
The NRA is an absolute disgrace!!!
Their organization appears to be interested in taking up the interests of gun regulators, and selling those interests to 2nd amendment advocates.
All of America should be told, that if the NRA supports any firearm related measure, it is likely on behalf of government interest at the expense of the people's liberty.
I do not own any firearms, but I understand why the people should own weapons, and the government has no just authority to be involved in the people's property ownership.

That's why I left the NRA 20 years ago
They are the "National Republican Apologists", and their allegiance is to Republican power-mongers, not to gun owners.
Scum bags!
Has the word gone out to your local GOP?
Why isn't the GOP supporting innocent gun owners from invasions by the government, at the governments whim.
Is there any proof or study that indicates this loss of liberty will bring any security?
Or are we simply giving up liberty for nothing.
The terrorist bogeyman created by Fox news has never proven to be a threat. What? None have died yet of this so called threat. More have been killed by their medications this year that those allegedly killed by the Fox New's bogeyman over the decade.
So all along the GOP fought the Soviet Union because we wanted to be like them. Well maybe Bill Buckely, Mitch McConnel and a few others. I think most the rest had no such wants.

It seems the sage of Philadelphia has something to say to people today. Pull out of the NRA, urge friends and neighbors to do the same, and give the second Amendment REAL support from and with Real gun owners and second Amendment activists!
The NRA "fighting" gun control is just a fundraising racket!
Like the endless other groups dedicated to "fighting" AIDS. "fightiong" cancer, "fighting" diabetes, "fighting" drug abuse, etc result in some politicians being elected--and empty pockets for everyone else. Look at their RESULTS--after many years, and act accordingly!
Then find--and do--somthing better!

Hi! I have been using poured sugar for quite some time, I make plenty of bottles, wine glasses etc. From the look of your pic did you color your isomalt? Color can effect the outcome of the finished project depending on what type and how much you use. Also you said when you break up the bottle, do you mean it is solid isomalt or do you hollow it out? I would first start with what type of isomalt you use? I swear by clear cut isomalt by MYOM if I am cooking it, but my best results come from cake plays isomalt nibs (they used to be sticks, but recently changed to these small versions of the stick, it hasn't changed the product at all) and I also like sassy shotz isomalt sticks, both come pre colored or clear and because they are precooked, all you do is heat them in the microwave until melted and pour! Another trick to eliminate some of the bubbles is to pour from a good distance, maybe 6" above the mold, the further you pour from the more the isomalt will strech and cause the bubbles to 'pop' before they go into your mold :) Hope that helps!

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) - The fight to end breast cancer is getting even stronger here in Knoxville.
Tuesday was the kickoff breakfast for "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer," a noncompetitive, family-friendly, 5K walk that will bring the community together to raise funds to support the American Cancer Society's mission to beat the disease.
The 2011 Making Strides walk is October 2 at the Knoxville Civic Coliseum beginning at 2:00 p.m.
This is the first time the event will take place in Knoxville, but Making Strides has been in existence nationwide since 1993. Since then, nearly seven million walkers have raised more than $400 million to fight breast cancer. Last year alone, nearly 800,000 people raised $60 million nationwide.
Cancer survivors, doctors and sponsors spoke at the event. Volunteer TV's Allison Kropff was one of the emcees.

Google changes image on website, Nexus 8 is now the Nexus 7
Using some post-production editing, the tablet in the picture was changed to the Nexus 7 (2013) which you can tell by looking at the wider bezel. While your first thought might be to say that this proves that the Nexus 8 doesn't exist, we have found that such quick editing often is done to hide something that was accidentally discovered. How many times have we seen a YouTube video disappear after it was leaked?
Before we definitively extinguish hope for a Nexus 8, let's hope that the swiftness in which Google made this change means that the original story struck a nerve at Google. And that could mean that there is a Nexus 8 coming.
Original picture (L) showed the tablet called the Nexus 8, which was changed to the Nexus 7 (2013) at right

Dang.... its official... WELP!.. time to sell my nexus 7 on craigslist before it even arrives from shipping.

Probably would be cheaper to just return it.

Everything Google posts is intended...they knew the media would drool all over this. Remember the Youtube video leaks of the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 (2013)? Same things is happening here.
3. Birds (Posts: 1029; Member since: 21 Nov 2011)
I don't like the bezels. LOL... Pretty sure its a nice device, but I like thick bezels at the top and bottom just like I for tops to be thick...nevermind.

Those bezels on the Nexus 8 are sweet action. Glad I held off on the 7. Price it between $300 and $400, and I'm on it.
7. Diazene (Posts: 129; Member since: 01 May 2013)
the icons on the left one look stretched
and realistically, we need bezels on a tablet to be able to hold it comfortably
8. boosook (Posts: 1092; Member since: 19 Nov 2012)
Yes, and it's very strange that PA didn't notice. I think that the tablet in the picture was just an imaginary tablet. There's no nexus 8 in the works. They took a nexus 7 and stretched the screen in order to remove the top and bottom bezels and make it look cooler. But in real life we know that those bezels are needed (if you own a 7" tablet you know why).
Then, as soon as they realized that there were people speculating on what should have been just a promotional image, they changed it with an image of the real nexus 7, and that's it.
9. guyguya (Posts: 8; Member since: 14 Aug 2013)
Oh well, what a shame! I guess I should head back to the waiting line for the Ipad mini Retina.
For a moment I had my hopes high for a Nexus 8, as I'm not a fan of apple's closed OS and pricing, but as I'm after an 8" with a ratio of 4:3 and high res. display, that leaves me with only one option now...
11. apple4never (Posts: 974; Member since: 08 May 2013)
why do you want 4:3 instead of 16:9
12. guyguya (Posts: 8; Member since: 14 Aug 2013)
My main usage of a tablet is web browsing and I think that a 4:3 ratio is better suitable for that.
14. amit_v (Posts: 1; Member since: 05 Nov 2013)
Even I would prefer a 4:3 screen for reading. But if you are really looking for the aspect ration and reading and dont care much about tech specs, then do you really think its worth spending so much on a IPAD. Why dont you have a look at "HP Slate 8 Pro", ater all its not a rumor(nexus 8) it is true.
13. HighTechToid (Posts: 5; Member since: 15 Mar 2013)
After using the iPad mini and Nexus 7 for about 2 weeks I like the 4:3 (or at least something not 16:9 or 16:10) more myself as well. For reading and web browsing it's just a more comfortable experience. Plus, with as large as phones are getting now, the Nexus 7 with its 16:9 ratio actually just comes across as too small. Now, a nexus 8 with say, 8.5-8.9" screen may make me sing a different tune. I don't think an 8" screen would make that big of a difference with the same aspect ratio because essentially it'll just be taller, but not much wider.

le nerd: i dont want bezel i want corner to corner screen

Think from the End
Highly realized people learn to think from the end- that is, they experience what they wish to intend before it shows up in material form. You can do the same by synchronizing with the power of intention.
~ Dr. Wayne Dyer
I am patient and loving with my fearful thoughts.
Be patient and loving with every fearful thought. Practice observing your fears as a witness, and you'll see them dissolve.
~ Dr. Wayne Dyer
I focus on what is really important in life.
Quality rather than appearance . . . ethics rather than rules . . . integrity rather than domination . . . knowledge rather than achievement . . . serenity rather than acquisitions.
~ Dr. Wayne Dyer
I forgive everyone, including myself.
Forgiveness is the most powerful thing you can do for yourself on the spiritual path. If you can't learn to forgive, you can forget about getting to higher levels of awareness.
~ Dr. Wayne Dyer
The kingdom of heaven is within me.
Once you have learned how to enter your inner kingdom, you have a special retreat within that is always available to you.

What does 1589 calories mean to you? For some it means they ate too much, for some it means they didn't eat enough. For the more opinionated it means I ate too much. For me it means that I actually stayed within my calorie range for the first time since joining Spark. Nothing more, nothing less. I actually stayed within range. It is a good thing, and I am proud of myself. It also means that I didn't eat after 6:00pm yesterday, that I didn't consume the refined sugars that I usually do, and that I ate a lot more veggies. I chose grilled instead of fried, I brown bagged my lunch, didn't stop for breakfast tacos or pastries, skipped the chocolate milk, and ate plain whole almonds instead of a candy bar for my snack. I also prayed a lot, LOL. That is a pretty good list of non-scale victories. I am still not feeling just jump up and down thrilled about it, but that's okay, as long as I keep on traveling in the right direction one baby step at a time.
So, I have been MIA for a while now, but I am still chipping away at revamping my lifestyle on baby step at a time. The thing is, right now, no matter how awesome the NSV might be, no matter what success I may or may not achieve, this weightloss journey thing sucks at the moment. That is how I feel about it right now. I haven't felt inspired or inspirational for a few weeks. I feel like a bit of a fraud, I try to be upbeat and have a good outlook on this journey, but the upbeat has been beat for the moment, ya know? My scale has not changed because I have not been serious about changing the number on it, and I have taken a workout break. On an better note, I am officially engaged. I got my ring on Saturday and we are getting married in August! It is at the jewelers getting resized and I should have it back tomorrow. I cannot wait to get it back. But, I am getting married, which means a wedding, which means, I need to be more serious than I have been. This little life change has inspired my vain side, there is no doubt that I feel I look better when I am thinner, and I want to feel like I look my best on my special day. Can't say if I will actually succeed, but here is to an honeset effort on my part.
Okay, something everyone should know about me (Because I am so awesome everyone should know, LOL) I am not a Valentine's Day fan. I have never had a Hallmark commercialesque Valentine's Day, and after 30 years I have come to the conclusion that it is the stupidist holiday ever. No offense to those who love it. It is great for kids, they get their little Valentine's card and parties at school, but I think after a certain age it loses its charm for a lot of people. There is the stress of getting the right thing, all the money spent on presents and nights out, worrying about if you forget, the drama that ensues if you do forget, etc. Not to mention the copious amounts of sweet, chocolately, fattening treats that flow freely during this time. I personally believe that it is better to do special things for your loved one throughout the year rather than save it all up for one day out of the year. I see that it is a holiday that causes discord, setting up unrealistic expectations, at least in my experience, because I have been one of those women with high Valentine's day expectations that were dashed. Send you significant other flowers to the office in the middle of the week for no reason. Have a special favorite dinner cooked for that special someone on a day when they least expect it. Surprise your other half with a spa day, or a tee time at their favorite golf course, or whatever would be really special, during a non-love holiday infested month. Don't wait for a icky sweet holiday to roll around.
Didn't want to do my strength training this morning, y'all. Didn't want to at ALL. Every fiber of my being was set against it. "After all", the couch potato devil on my should said, "It's Friday, take a break. One little break won't hurt you". I wanted to listen to that little couch potato voice so badly (You know, for a couch potato, that little devil is extremely active, isn't he?) But, the thing is, there was no excuse for a break today. I am not ill, I am not injured, I am not in the middle of anything that requires all of my attention with out fail. So I did my strength training, all of it, and even if Iwasn't really feeling the desire today, I still feel awesome that I got it done.
I lost some emotional weight yesterday. Blogging about my stressors really seems to have helped me, I feel lighter, happier. It is amazing how things will start to weigh on you after time.
I wish I had something profound to say, but nothing is sparking in my mind right now. Bottling things up is never good, it is something I struggle with. I tend to have a weakness toward what I call Atlas Syndrom, I feel like I HAVE to carry the world on my shoulders all the time. No one can help me, I have to do everything. Work full time, school full time, clean house, raise children, cook, exercise, lose weight, all alone. Of course, the reality is that doing EVERYTHING alone really isn't feasible, and what ends up happening is people and things start to get neglected. Don't ask me to set down the world, don't ask to help me carry it, I have to do it all, regardless of the fact that it is obvious that it can't all be done by just me. Y'all, it is an exhausting little place I have built for myself. It is a hard thing to learn to lean on others, but I am slowly learning that lesson.
I grew up feeling like the world carrier. I am sure my parents didn't intend for this to be my reality, but in my little mind that is how it felt. If I didn't do it, it didn't happen, and I find that it is a hard feeling to shake. However, I am 30 years old, I have Christ, a home and family of my own, and I have to lay down that old, dysfunctional me and move on. Holding on to what I was will not move me forward to the better things in store for me. I wish it was so easy to lay it all down and move forward. The mental struggle hammers at me again, LOL.

Welcome to the Kiddie Corps Open -- alias the $100,000 Avon Tennis Cup women's tournament -- in which 20-year-old Hana Mandlikova was the old lady of Saturday's semifinals.
If a driver's license were required for entry in this tournament, officials would have had trouble filling out the 56- player draw. Two unseeded teenagers advanced to the semifinals, leaving veterans and other members of the Kiddie Corps in their wake.
Saturday afternoon, top-seeded Andrea Jaeger, 17, defeated 16-year-old Hungarian Andrea Temesvari, 6-3, 6-2, before 2,117 spectators at the Marriott Marco Beach Resort. Saturday night before another 2,100, third-seeded Mandlikova edged 15-year-old Michelle Torres of Northbrook, Ill., 6-4, 6-4.
Jaeger, from Lincolnshire, Ill., and Mandlikova will meet in today's 1 p.m. final, with the winner earning $18,000 and gaining momentum heading into this week's Murjani Cup at Palm Beach Gardens.
Asked how it felt to be the oldest player in the semifinals, Mandlikova grimaced and said, "I don't think I'm old. I've got 10 more years left."
But she said she welcomes the addition of more teenage phenoms on the circuit. "It's very good for tennis," said Mandlikova, who won the French Open at age 19 in 1981. "It's a change for the future."
Temesvari, ranked 34th on the Women's Tennis Association computer, knocked off Laura Arraya, 17, and fourth-seeded Virginia Ruzici en route to Saturday's match with Jaeger. Torres, an amateur whose first tennis lesson was given to her by Jaeger's father six years ago, knocked off second-seeded Wendy Turnbull and 15-year-old Kathy Rinaldi, who was seeded eighth, to reach the semifinals.
Because Martina Navratilova, Chris Evert Lloyd and Tracy Austin aren't entered here, Jaeger inherited the role as the player to beat. She said the added pressure doesn't bother her, though.
"I'm sure a lot of people are expecting me to win," she said. "And I'm pretty comfortable with my clay-court game right now.
"I always go into a tournament expecting to win, but I'm not going to go all over the place talking about it. If you're going to talk, you might as well talk with your racquet."
That's what Jaeger did as she gave Temesvari a lesson in clay-court patience, moon balls and stamina.
The Mandlikova-Torres match featured 14 service breaks in 20 games. After Mandlikova squandered a match point at 5-3 and double-faulted to lose service, she broke Torres to win the match.
Mandlikova has a 5-4 career record over Jaeger. They have not met since Jaeger won, 6-1, 6-3, in the Citizen Cup last spring at Palm Beach Gardens.
"She plays every match the same," Mandlikova said. "Everything depends on me, not on her. It's very important how I serve. If I serve well, I'm going to beat her; if I don't, it will be very difficult."
In the doubles semifinals, Jaeger and Mary Lou Piatek beat Kathy Jordan and Paula Smith, 6-1, 1-6, 7-6, and Rosie Casals and Turnbull beat Yvonne Vrmaak and Kathy Horvach, 7-5, 6-2.

Sysman helped me out by creating a static template of his Edugeek Joomla template.
The one thing i have most problems with is changes to the main navigation menu. I have looked at trying to use an include file to create the menu and just manage it in one location. All the ways in which i have found to do this seem quite intense with php code and css layout code.
Not being a coder is there a much easier way to create an include file to add the navigation bar to each page?
Hope you can help.

DOVER, Del. (AP) -- Denny Hamlin made it nine victories for Joe Gibbs Racing in the Nationwide Series this season. He led all but 69 laps to win at Dover International Speedway.
Carl Edwards, who started on the pole, was second. David Stremme was third and David Reutimann fourth.
Rookie 18-year-old phenom Joey Logano finished sixth in his NASCAR national-level debut. Logano was eligible to drive once he turned 18 last week, and JGR immediately put him to work. He's scheduled to run about 18 Nationwide races this year.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, the highest ranking woman ever elected to office in the United States, called the Secret Service prostitution scandal "disgusting," a "disgrace," "disconcerting," and "every D-word you can think of."
In her first comments since news broke last weekend that 11 Secret Service officers and 10 military personnel solicited prostitutes in Cartagena, Colombia during the Summit of the Americas, Pelosi told reporters she was disappointed by the actions of those involved.
"It's a stunning thing. It's actually disgusting. There has to be an investigation to see how this could have happened and those responsible should have to pay a price," Pelosi, D-Calif., said. "Those people who are responsible have brought disgrace and it's disgusting."
Pelosi said she has not yet been briefed by the Secret Service and it's premature to determine whether there is a culture of toleration there.
"I hope it is limited to what we see in the press now and not indicative of something else, but it's hard to understand how such a thing could happen," she said.
The Democratic leader urged Congress to be patient and allow the Secret Service to complete its own investigation before Congress holds any hearings on the matter. With three supervisors already out of the agency, Pelosi predicted none of the others could escape the scandal with their jobs.
"I don't see how those who are involved in this should be able to continue with their work," she said. "Disgusting, disconcerting, every D-word you can think of. But it is nonetheless something that needs to be looked at right away, because the security of the president is immediate and that can't be put on a back burner. So I think that those responsible should report what they know, and if that's not satisfactory then we reserve the right to go forward on it."

I was here this saturday and they had a live band and right after check in I could hear the music in the beautiful courtyard fire pit and garden area. They have so many beautiful flowers that I love taking pictures when I am here. After seeing how well this renovation has taken place I was shocked and pleased to see that this was great and everything is just well done and in a more modern sense instead of an antique feeling like the rest of Carmel. I stayed in J.Lohr's room and I have to say this room was well done. I love the decor and I love how I have a balcony overlooking the garden and fire pit. The wine and cheese was amazing I love the wine's they serve and my bed was so comfortable my husband did not want to wake up in the morning. We are going to come back here and this is our new favorite place to stay. The customer service is always excellent as well as the breakfast in the morning. I really appreciate that the new owners did something different and made a change for the better. I will be back and recommend this place. The street noise was not an issue for us because I been in places in downtown, those places are busier and you will hear trucks unloading for restaurants and also hear the trash being picked up. So after many years we tried a new place and after this being our second time here I love every minute of it. Thank you Vendange for making this place a special place for my husband and I.

I used to LOVE this mascara, it was my HG and I knew no other greatness.
Unfortunately my eyes became very sensitive to it, resulting in red eyes and styes!
I think the plastic brush irritated my lids when applied close to the lash line, also it would always start to flake by the end of day.
My hg mascara! I absolutely love the formula and have not found another mascara quite like it. I don't necessarily like the price but I can't find a drugstore mascara comparable. Never irritates my sensitive eyes. Lengthens and adds volume while not clumping. Packaging is somewhat large but sleek.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this mascara and have repurchased around 4 times now (which is a lot for mascara, because I was always searching for something better!). I can't give it a 5 because no mascara is really perfect for me, but if I could, I guess it would be a 4.5. I have straight, sparse lashes and Buxom makes them dark, defined, volumized and lengthened. It does not hold a curl as well as other mascaras or waterproof mascaras, but I am willing to sacrifice curl for lash health and easy removal. Buxom never/rarely clumps even with 2-3 coats, and the color is sooo lush, true-black. It lasts a long time too- I use one tube for around 6 months before it starts to get thicker/old. Drugstore mascaras dry up within 3 months I think, so that's how I justify spending $19 for Buxom :) I like that the ingredients aren't as harsh or drying which seems to help with minimizing lash fall-out. It's very easy to remove which is really important to me- I don't want to rub and tug which causes sagging and lash loss. For you lucky ladies with longer/thicker eyelashes, Buxom will probably make your lashes look extra amazing! On me, it's a more natural eyelash look (which is what I like), but maybe for lash-blessed ladies it can create a more smoky eyelash look. It's my HG mascara for sure.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is my all time favorite mascara (with Dior show as a close second). I'm pretty picky and rarely buy the same tube of mascara over again, always looking for something better. However I have never been able to move away from this mascara. It stays on all day and doesn't smudge. This mascara is fairly natural looking, which makes it great for an everyday mascara, but not what I wear when I'm looking for a lot of drama.
I got a mini one as a part of the Sephora lash box, and I wasn't impressed at all. The brush is a lot bigger than what it seems from the pictures, and was hard to use on my small and hooded lids (Asian monolids). The formula was okay, but nothing amazing--decently length and volume, rich colour, doesn't smudge throughout the day, but no curl holding abilities at all (though with how straight my lashes are, most non-waterproof mascaras don't hold my curl). With the price in mind, I would say that this wouldn't be a good buy at all.
This is my go to mascara for that beautiful natural look. It is advertised on sephora.com to be an "intensely volumizing mascara, for bigger fuller lashes". I disagree with this marketing. It does not give Intense Volume, I find it give a lot of definition, seperation, and a bit of length. If you have sparse lashes there is most likely another mascara in the same price range or lower that will offer you much more volume.
Application/Wand: I really love how easy this is to apply. It doesnt clump AT ALL and doesn't take long to make your lashes look beautiful. The wand is my favourite type of wand full with short sturdy bristles for that extra definition. It also provides easy application on the lower lashes which is deffinately a plus :-)
Formula: I love the formula of this mascara it doesnt have a harsh chemical smell to it at all. And it is formulated without parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances, synthetic dyes, petrochemicals, or phthalates. Which is great for people with sensitive eyes. The formula also doesnt clump like AT ALL which is amazing because it is so hard to find mascaras that dont get all clumpy.
Longevity/staying power: if there is one thing that I could change about this product this would be it. It does slide off quite easily but this can be fixed with a waterproof mascara sealant (anastasia lash genius) But if you don't have oily eyelids, aren't humid/sweaty you should be fine
*thank you for reading through my review and hopefully I was able to help you :-P :-) if you have any questions about this product PLEASE feel free to message me. Also feel free to message me if you have any other review requests or questions about certain products as I collect makeup and have a big collection and am going through to review other products in my collection* <3
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I like the look of this mascara. It separates, volumizes and lenghtens. I only give 3 because it smudges a lot.
This isn't a bad mascara, but it's not great for the cost. It does a decent job at adding volume - I just wish it lengthened since my lashes are so short.
The formula didn't flake or smudge which is nice. It's hard to layer to build up your lashes because it gets clumpy fast!
Overall, its a decent mascara but there are drugstore brands that cost a lot less and do more.
Terribly disappointing. I really wanted to love it, I love BE minerals and was hoping this mascara would not irritate me eyes. I am not sensitive to mascaras ever, hoever this would bleed easisly and into my eyes, plus it doesnt give much of a buxom look. Maybelline /l'oreal are way better at a third of the price.
More reviews by Michelleballet
This mascara is one of the best mascaras that I have tried. You can easily apply as many layers as you want, and it won't clump. I love the brush. It coats and separates my lashes. This is definitely a lengthening mascara. It doesn't add much volume. I'd definately buy it again!

Lido Beach makes national 'best of' list
Date: May 18, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
A national group is recognizing Lido Beach as one of the country's best-restored beaches.
The American Shore and Beach Preservation Association just announced Lido's inclusion on the list.
"We are honored our preservation and enhancement efforts at Lido Beach have been recognized as some of the best in the nation," said Mayor Dick Clapp.
A two-month beach renourishment project that concluded last month pumped more than 600,000 tons of sand from Big Pass onto Lido Key, creating a beach that is up to 200 yards wider than it had been.
The $4.6 million project was funded by federal and state grants and county tourist tax dollars.
