What a tasty way to enjoy some guacamole!
Growing up my mom used to make this epic Corn Soufflé that is loaded with all kinds of spices, cheese and some herbs! It feeds a crowd, and since it's just me and Thomas, I whipped her recipe into more of an appetizer/tapa kinda thing! It worked brilliantly and I'm officially obsessed. I'm also excited to be kicking off a partnership with McCormick! They are basically the king of spices and I'll be using their awesome products for tons of fab recipes over the next few months
These fritters loaded with fresh corn, a touch of cornmeal, sharp cheddar, Sweet Paprika, California Garlic Powder and lime juice along with some freshly cut herbs! (Not freshly cut from my garden, because we all know I kill plants, but from someone else's garden who clearly doesn't have a black thumb!)
Once they are shaped and lightly seared, they get topped with guacamole (duh) and a spiced crema that's made with smoked paprika to kick things up a notch and give you a bit more zip!

What a tasty way to enjoy some guacamole!
Nope, never need an excuse to make guac!! Yum!
Love the idea of topping these fritters with all different sauces! They all look so delicious!
My mom used to make these little corn fritter thingamajiggies when I was little, back before corn was, like, the IT cob veggie and cast iron was all Kinfolky and cool. These totally take me back to that moment! And yes, I mean, guacamole on ice cream would be a good idea. You can never go wrong with guac. Love!!
I love these, Gaby! Big chunks of corn and the smoked paprika (my fave!) Pinned
Love corn, love spice, love fritters!! Can't wait to make these!!!
such a great vehicle for shoving more guacamole in!!
Savory happiness! Yum! Pinned
These sound and look so lovely. They seem like more corn than anything else, but I bet the little bit of cornmeal makes all the difference. And with that saucy topping … delicious!
These look so good. They kind of remind me of something I get at Cheesecake factory but way better.
Mmmm, anything fried with corn sounds great! I'll have to save this for when I can get fresh corn at the farmer's market.
Oh how I adore this corn fritters!! They look absolutely perfect!
These are sooo calling my name! It's only 6am and I would like them for breakfast
Fritters are my absolute favorite! I love the flavor combo and the sauce sounds great!
Gluten free! Stack them up for a perfect dinner – just add bacon and my other half will be over the moon!
Made them today with another topping http://pokazywarka.pl/zoq5zf/ Super yummy:) Thank you for the recipe:)

FORT WORTH, Texas–Same-store sales for Pier 1 Imports grew 10.2 percent in the third quarter, according to a preliminary report on its quarterly results from the specialty retailer.
The comparable-store increase occurred on top of a 13.7 percent same-store gain in the third quarter of last year. Total sales for the quarter reached $354 million, up 8.3 percent from last year. When all the numbers are counted, merchandise margins are expected to total 58.5 percent, which would be a pickup of 119 basis points over last year.
Alex Smith, Pier 1's president and chief executive officer, said these results exceeded the company's expectations for the quarter, which ended Nov. 27. Smith said strong sales figures in September and October carried through November and the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. "Traffic, conversion and average ticket for the quarter were positive and continued to be the key drivers of our comp-store sales increases," Smith said.
The company will release the full report on its third quarter on Dec. 16.

The pup (about 1 year old) still attached to the mother is now as big as the mother. Is it a bad time to break it off? Would this delay it from blooming? |

No it won't make any difference to the plant. Most times it gives you a better shaped plant if you remove them. |
I separated them today. I just pull them apart - both have roots. Hope they'll both heal well. Should I have used a knife? The soil is quite moist now. How long should I wait to water them? |
- Posted by sunshine_qld Qld Aust (My Page) on Sun, Jan 12, 14 at 19:23
When I repot I usually soak the pot for a few minutes to get all the air out then water when needed. Your mum will probably send out more pups. Give her some fertiliser to help. If they come apart easily a knife isn't necessary. I usually try to pull the pups off before using a knife. |

Dont over fertilize if you dont want all green plants when they should have color in the leaves. Small regular doses are better than dumping fertilizers. |

Action Alert: Report an Oil Spill in your Community!
Landowner and Environmental Groups Launch Pipeline Spill Tipline
Edmonton – The Alberta Surface Rights Group, Greenpeace Canada, The Council of Canadians and the Sierra Club today launched a Pipeline Tipline encouraging people that see pipeline spills to phone the number and report them. The groups came together after continued in-action from the Premier in dealing with the hundreds of oil spills that hit the Province every year...
"We know that the government isn't looking out for our safety so we are turning to people throughout the province to let the public know what's really going on," said Don Bester with the Alberta Surface Rights Group. "Hundreds of spills happen every year and still this government does nothing. We had three major spills last month alone. How many more have to happen before the government finally acts?"
According to the Energy Resources Conservation Board in 2010 there were over 600 spills and leaks from energy related pipelines in Alberta. Two of the last three major spills were undetected by the company but instead, were reported by third parties.

Sierra Club, Town of Ajax and Toronto and Region Conservation are psyched to plant native plants and trees on Paradise Beach bioswales as part of the Great Canadian Coastal Clean-up Saturday, September 20th.
'What's a bioswale?' you may ask. A bioswale is a way of filtering surface water by channeling through plants, gravel or rip-rap and slowing it down. Silt and particulate matter will fall out and the plants in the bioswale help take out nutrients and chemicals, for instance automotive run-off from a parking lot. The plants and soil do this work for free for our benefit!... Read more »

The Darby Translation (DBY) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 After these things was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. | 1 Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for a feast of the Jews. |
2 Now there is in Jerusalem, at the sheepgate, a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches. | 2 Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. |
3 In these lay a multitude of sick, blind, lame, withered, [awaiting the moving of the water. | 3 Here a great number of disabled people used to lie--the blind, the lame, the paralyzed. |
4 For an angel descended at a certain season in the pool and troubled the water. Whoever therefore first went in after the troubling of the water became well, whatever disease he laboured under.] | 4 One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. |
5 But there was a certain man there who had been suffering under his infirmity thirty and eight years. | 5 When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, "Do you want to get well?" |
6 Jesus seeing this [man] lying [there], and knowing that he was [in that state] now a great length of time, says to him, Wouldest thou become well? | 6 "Sir," the invalid replied, "I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me." |
7 The infirm [man] answered him, Sir, I have not a man, in order, when the water has been troubled, to cast me into the pool; but while I am coming another descends before me. | 7 Then Jesus said to him, "Get up! Pick up your mat and walk." |
8 Jesus says to him, Arise, take up thy couch and walk. | 8 At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked. The day on which this took place was a Sabbath, |
9 And immediately the man became well, and took up his couch and walked: and on that day was sabbath. | 9 and so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, "It is the Sabbath; the law forbids you to carry your mat." |
10 The Jews therefore said to the healed [man], It is sabbath, it is not permitted thee to take up thy couch. | 10 But he replied, "The man who made me well said to me, 'Pick up your mat and walk.' " |
11 He answered them, He that made me well, *he* said to me, Take up thy couch and walk. | 11 So they asked him, "Who is this fellow who told you to pick it up and walk?" |
12 They asked him [therefore], Who is the man who said to thee, Take up thy couch and walk? | 12 The man who was healed had no idea who it was, for Jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there. |
13 But he that had been healed knew not who it was, for Jesus had slidden away, there being a crowd in the place. | 13 Later Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, "See, you are well again. Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you." |
14 After these things Jesus finds him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art become well: sin no more, that something worse do not happen to thee. | 14 The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well. |
15 The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well. | 15 So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews persecuted him. |
16 And for this the Jews persecuted Jesus [and sought to kill him], because he had done these things on sabbath. | 16 Jesus said to them, "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working." |
17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto and I work. | 17 For this reason the Jews tried all the harder to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God. |
18 For this therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he had not only violated the sabbath, but also said that God was his own Father, making himself equal with God. | 18 Jesus gave them this answer: "I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. |
19 Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself save whatever he sees the Father doing: for whatever things *he* does, these things also the Son does in like manner. | 19 For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, to your amazement he will show him even greater things than these. |
20 For the Father loves the Son and shews him all things which he himself does; and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may wonder. | 20 For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it. |
21 For even as the Father raises the dead and quickens [them], thus the Son also quickens whom he will: | 21 Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, |
22 for neither does the Father judge any one, but has given all judgment to the Son; | 22 that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him. |
23 that all may honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He who honours not the Son, honours not the Father who has sent him. | 23 "I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life. |
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, that he that hears my word, and believes him that has sent me, has life eternal, and does not come into judgment, but is passed out of death into life. | 24 I tell you the truth, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live. |
25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, that an hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that have heard shall live. | 25 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son to have life in himself. |
26 For even as the Father has life in himself, so he has given to the Son also to have life in himself, | 26 And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man. |
27 and has given him authority to execute judgment [also], because he is Son of man. | 27 "Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice |
28 Wonder not at this, for an hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs shall hear his voice, | 28 and come out--those who have done good will rise to live, and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned. |
29 and shall go forth; those that have practised good, to resurrection of life, and those that have done evil, to resurrection of judgment. | 29 By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me. |
30 I cannot do anything of myself; as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I do not seek my will, but the will of him that has sent me. | 30 "If I testify about myself, my testimony is not valid. |
31 If I bear witness concerning myself, my witness is not true. | 31 There is another who testifies in my favor, and I know that his testimony about me is valid. |
32 It is another who bears witness concerning me, and I know that the witness which he bears concerning me is true. | 32 "You have sent to John and he has testified to the truth. |
33 Ye have sent unto John, and he has borne witness to the truth. | 33 Not that I accept human testimony; but I mention it that you may be saved. |
34 But I do not receive witness from man, but I say this that *ye* might be saved. | 34 John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you chose for a time to enjoy his light. |
35 *He* was the burning and shining lamp, and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light. | 35 "I have testimony weightier than that of John. For the very work that the Father has given me to finish, and which I am doing, testifies that the Father has sent me. |
36 But I have the witness [that is] greater than [that] of John; for the works which the Father has given me that I should complete them, the works themselves which I do, bear witness concerning me that the Father has sent me. | 36 And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me. You have never heard his voice nor seen his form, |
37 And the Father who has sent me himself has borne witness concerning me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor have seen his shape, | 37 nor does his word dwell in you, for you do not believe the one he sent. |
38 and ye have not his word abiding in you; for whom *he* hath sent, him ye do not believe. | 38 You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me, |
39 Ye search the scriptures, for ye think that in them ye have life eternal, and they it is which bear witness concerning me; | 39 yet you refuse to come to me to have life. |
40 and ye will not come to me that ye might have life. | 40 "I do not accept praise from men, |
41 I do not receive glory from men, | 41 but I know you. I know that you do not have the love of God in your hearts. |
42 but I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. | 42 I have come in my Father's name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him. |
43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not; if another come in his own name, him ye will receive. | 43 How can you believe if you accept praise from one another, yet make no effort to obtain the praise that comes from the only God ? |
44 How can ye believe, who receive glory one of another, and seek not the glory which [comes] from God alone? | 44 "But do not think I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom your hopes are set. |
45 Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: there is [one] who accuses you, Moses, on whom ye trust; | 45 If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me. |
46 for if ye had believed Moses, ye would have believed me, for he wrote of me. | 46 But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?" |
47 But if ye do not believe his writings, how shall ye believe my words? | 47 |

my night blooming jasmine has little white fruits like that. i've never opened them up, so don't know how the seeds look. is it a bushy plant? with very fragrant blooms at night? |
Looks like something in the Solanaceae. |

Hong Kong govt says may sell controlling stake in local Disneyland
HONG KONG (AFX) - The government may sell its controlling stake in the territory's recently opened Disneyland theme park, Secretary for Financial Services & the Treasury Fred Ma told legislators.
Ma said the government's 57-pct stake in the 3 bln usd resort could be sold off in keeping with the administration's belief that the private sector is best suited to run major businesses.
'In the long run, the government may consider in the light of the 'Big Market, Small Government' principle to divest its shareholdings in the company at an appropriate time when it is in the overall economic interests of Hong Kong to do so,' Ma told legislators.
The territory's leaders were criticized in 1999 when they decided to foot most of the bill for Walt Disney Co's first resort in China.
Disney hopes the park, which opened in September, will help it promote its brand in China's growing lucrative market.
Similarly, the government here hopes it will attract more mainland tourists to the former British colony.
Disney has refused to say how successful the resort has been so far and will not publish attendance figures. But media reports suggest it has not proved as popular as hoped and rarely attracts its 30,000 daily capacity.
It has also been troubled by a series of snags since opening, including staff complaints of management mistreatment and customer gripes that the park is too small.

It took a good few years for most academics to accept the notion of online classes, and many still aren't there yet. So try this one on for size: a college class in Japan is being taught entirely on cell phones. Now, not only can you "go to class" in pajamas, but you can do so while watching YouTube videos and chatting on IM… because– seriously – your computer can't sit there idle for an entire class period.
The class is taught via Cyber University in Tokyo, which offers only online (and now, mobile) classes. The class consists of a powerpoint presentation downloaded to students' handsets, accompanied by streaming audio of the professor's lecture.
The university is majority-owned by Softbank, a dominant Japanese carrier. And herein lies the catch: the classes are currently only available on select Softbank phones. This will be an interesting company to watch, as I'm curious to see if this single class spirals into a full-fledged marketing play.
As a sidenote— the topic for the class: "Mysteries of the Pyramids." Random for a jumping off point, no?

A master from Kyoto was summoned there to create an iron pot for a tea ceremony, and it was the beginning of the Nambu Tekki (Cast Iron) craft. It became exemplary of Japanese Traditional Craft, and is still popular today. The black color is the result of a Japanese lacquer glaze call urushi which prevents rust. The Hook Monkey is part of a range of animal and symbol designs created in the famed material for this collection offered from Saikai.

Just wanted to drop by and say hello. I've missed you guys dearly. I'm almost done with my pregnancy and
I've been VERY tired lately. I've spent 2 days straight watching "Llena De Amor" episodes on-line.
I finally left the house this morning because it was driving me crazy. I can only lay on a couch for so long.
Anyway, it was Jesses birthday on Christmas day and I just wanted to wish him a Very Very Happy Birthday!!!

I got this coral jumpsuit along with the purple dress from ASOS.com last night. These pieces are just to beautiful. I can't wait to get my waist back. I'm also very impressed with their shipping because it's already on its way!
Two things I love about this picture, the bright neon nail polish from Milani and this e.l.f lip gloss
This is one of my favorite things to eat for breakfast. Super healthy and it happens to be Elvis Presley's favorite snack. I saw a documentary on his life back in 2001 and I've been eating this ever since. It's so yummy and super easy to make. Give it a try.

School Committee tables discussion on pilot PARCC participationJune 25, 2014 |
Chris Maza Superintendent Gordon Smith presented the recommendation of his leadership team based on data, anecdotal evidence and a student survey to continue PARCC paper and pencil tests in grades three through eight, but go back to MCAS testing in the high school. According to Smith's recommendation, all schools would continue MCAS science testing because there is no PARCC equivalent at this time. The committee members, however, concurred that more time was needed to adequately assess the situation. "One of my big issues is the timeline. I don't see any value in doing anything without more thought," Chair Deirdre Mailloux said, pointing out that the leadership team had just finished submitted its report on Friday. East Longmeadow Public Schools are facing a time crunch with regard to the decision. Smith explained that in order to become an "early adopter," the School Committee must make a decision to utilize the PARCC assessments by June 30. The final deadline for a decision is Oct. 1, however, Smith cautioned that PARCC does not guarantee the district would receive the type of testing it requests at that time. East Longmeadow was one of several local districts selected to pilot the assessment. After the 2014-2015 school year, the Massachusetts Board of Elementary and Secondary Education will vote the following fall to adopt PARCC as the replacement for MCAS as the primary achievement assessment in Massachusetts, taking into consideration feedback from the school systems. The test was created to assess student achievement based on new Common Core standards, which were adopted into the Massachusetts educational frameworks in 2010. The PARCC committee consists of 13 member states and the District of Columbia with Massachusetts Elementary and Secondary Education Commissioner Mitchel Chester serving as chair of the PARCC Governing Board. Pennsylvania is also a "participating state" in the PARCC Consortium. Committee member Elizabeth Marsian-Boucher expressed disgust in the timeline, calling it "being a bully" with tactics put in place to push districts into accepting PARCC, a decision they may not be ready for by June 30. Marsian-Boucher also expressed concerns that while East Longmeadow Public Schools would continue high standards for teaching and curriculum either way, utilizing PARCC could set some students back when it comes to MCAS testing required for graduation, citing an earlier statement from Smith in which he said the MCAS competency requirement would be in effect until at least 2016. She said she felt students need to have a greater comfort level with a test that determines their future. "I feel like our kids are being used as guinea pigs and I say they should go fool around in other states," she said. Member William Fonseca and Smith both cautioned that even if PARCC is not adopted in Massachusetts, it is likely the state would incorporate a similar "next generation" test. "Something is coming. We have to get [the students] ready and thinking about this kind of test," Fonseca said. "It may not be PARCC, but it is going to look like PARCC and kids need to be ready for the elements in those tests." Member Greg Thompson said, "I see value in waiting," adding that much could be gleaned from assessing what other districts are doing. Fonseca said according to data he has received from the state, of the approximately 90 districts that have made a decision, it has been "almost a 50-50 split" between those who have agreed to continue the PARCC pilot and those reverting back to MCAS testing. Smith explained that the leadership team's recommendation for paper and pencil testing in elementary schools was primarily a response to technological issues. While the School Department worked with Information Technology Director Ryan Quimby to create a system that would streamline the computer-based testing, there were myriad problems on the part of Pearson Educational Inc., the company that administers the test. He added that when the assessments worked properly, students enjoyed the online assessments, however, the district is still in a transitional period technologically and does not meet the two students to one computer ratio that is recommended by PARCC assessment developers. "Next year is going to be a critical year for us when introducing more technology into our schools," he said, indicating that successful PARCC computer-based testing could be more attainable in the near future. |

Stephen said Alghero's old town reminded him of Disneyland, and I guess he's not wrong. Some of the streets off the main tourist drag were a little less crowded and a little more atmospheric, though. Plus we saw a spaghetti-eating dog, a.k.a. the essence of Italy.
We didn't find anywhere appealing to eat in or out of old-town Alghero, so we headed back to Fertilia, where we were staying (at Hostal de l'Alguer, basic but perfectly fine and the staff was super friendly) and got excellent roasted vegetables and pizza for dinner. Have you ever had onion pizza? It was delicious.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Brandie!
Facts about Brandie
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Gray Or Blue
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Brandie's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Hi there! My name is Brandie and I am a 2 ½ year old female. I was rescued from the apartment of a woman who was risking eviction if she didn't get rid of her pets. The volunteer who came to rescue me was extremely grateful that I was being given up after she saw the living conditions that I had been forced to endure. The apartment was literally wall to wall cockroaches. She said they were everywhere. She even found some in the carrier that she used to pick me up in after she left with me. I was also very excruciatingly thin and malnourished, which was truly upsetting to the volunteer who came to take me away. I'm not sure who was happier when leaving that apartment that day, me or my rescuer! I am now a very happy and healthy girl who is looking for my furever home. I love to play fetch and will follow you around. I am an extra sweet, talkative girl with a very expressive face. I am good with other cats but have never been around a dog before. I am also very mellow and would be good with kids and toddlers as well. If you would like to adopt me, please fill out an adoption application for me or if you have any questions at all, please email email@example.com!
Other Pets at Kitty Junction Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Brandie, a Horsham Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Horsham, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Horsham.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Horsham already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Horsham breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Horsham paves the way for another one to be saved.

Burglary suspect arrested
PRESS RELEASE - At 11:14 AM, on 11/1/2013, Beaumont Police were dispatched to the 4100 block of Dallas St. in Beaumont's north side, in reference to a burglary in progress. A neighbor of the residence being burglarized had called dispatch and gave a description of the suspect, so when officers got into the area they knew what to look for. Officers found the subject walking in the area and detained him. During the investigation, it was found that the suspect had tried to kick in the back door to a residence at 4195 Dallas. There was a muddy footprint on the door which matched the sole of the shoes the suspect was wearing.
The suspect could not gain entry through the door. The owner had barricaded it due to a recent burglary. The suspect then broke a window to make entry, but was apparently scared away by the witness who had called police.
The suspect was transported to the station and spoke with detectives. He confessed to this attempted burglary, and then rode around with detectives and admitted to and pointed out 14 other houses that he had burglarized.
He was then transported to the Jefferson County Jail.
SUSPECT: Byron Reese, 19 years old of Beaumont

Jeep "Mountain Researchers" Are Thankful for Four-Wheel
Drive in The Sierra Nevada's
As my mom and I had the opportunity to spend some time together, we
mapped out our trip and talked about the importance of having a
Jeep. She said, "We just never know what we'll find or
where we will go… It gives us the confidence to go
After circling a variety of cities on the map, this past week
travels have taken me from my home in the Sonoran Desert, to the
Arctic Circle to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights, San Diego
for the ever coveted fish tacos, Los Angeles for a star-crossed
chase, through the Sierra Nevada's to Lake Tahoe, and to the
Jeep doctor for a precautionary tune-up for our Flame Red 99'
Cherokee Classic…that has a roaring 213,000 miles on
it… leaving plenty of room for many more adventures to
It is so easy to take for granted the little things in life…
like the ability to instantly drop your Jeep into Four-Wheel
Drive….but 'tis the season to be
This year… I am very thankful for all Jeeps!
Jeff, Daiva, Ashley
On our trip to up to the Sierra Nevada's, I met up with a
few of my good friends and fellow "Mountain
Researchers" from Chicago in the Reno area before we drove up
the serious mountain terrain. Daiva mentioned that she has been
inspired to be a "Mountain Researcher" by her
grandfather's love for skiing, which has been passed on
through family generations. Jeff, a fellow Wrangler owner said has
been inspired by Yvon Chouinard, the founder of the Patagonia
Company, for his environmentally friendly practices and love for
the great outdoors.
After being warned about the intense terrain and the need for
chains, I took my mom's advice and knew were in need of a
Jeep Wrangler. We stocked up for our trek at our favorite grocery
store, Trader Joe's, and decided to take the scenic route to
get a better glimpse of Lake Tahoe. As the elevation started
changing, and our ears started popping…we knew were in for
some good snow. Within seconds, we were in a total white out! The
chain warning signs were flashing like crazy, cars were stuck in
ditches, and spinning off the road. I threw on the four-wheel
drive, as we headed directly into the storm! It was incredible! It
was if we were driving inside a snow globe. We let the music be our
guide as we continued to wave to every Jeep insight, as it was the
only vehicle that could make it through the storm with its
legendary four-wheel drive system and ground clearance.
Once we got to The Aston Lakeland Village in South Lake Tahoe, we
checked into our three-story townhouse nestled in the forest. I
turned on some of my favorite Warren Miller ski films as we shared
mountain tales about legends that have inspired us to travel down
unfamiliar terrain.
As part of Daiva's morning "Mountain Researcher"
duties, Daiva checked the weather report sadly letting us know that
mountains were closed. Outside of our townhouse, we took a stroll
down to the lightly snow covered beach where we found a giant
rainbow above Lake Tahoe. It was one of those scenes you see in a
movie... an experience that makes you wonder if you are actually
With sprinkles of rain along the way we chased the rainbow all the
way to Squaw Valley, home of the 1960 Winter Olympics. You could
just feel the spirit of the legends that have been there... a
chilly feeling that wakes up all of your senses, as if the spirits
wanted to knock you over. Or maybe it was just the 35 mile an hour
winds that caused the lifts to be closed? We'll let you be
the judge.
After lunch in Squaw, we found ourselves in the historic town of
Truckee. A little railroad town that preserves historical charm and
character. To conclude our trip around Lake Tahoe, we stopped at
Northstar to check out the trail gear at Patagonia.
On our last morning in Tahoe, Daiva woke all of us up because the
lifts were finally open! Jeff made breakfast for the team before we
made a mad dash to Heavenly to explore the views on the gondola

The three of us looked out on the horizon completely
speechless…wondering why we haven't been to Tahoe

1 The Song of songs, which is Solomon's. | 1 Solomon's Song of Songs. |
2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth; For thy love is better than wine. | 2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth-- for your love is more delightful than wine. |
3 Thine oils have a goodly fragrance; Thy name is [as] oil poured forth; Therefore do the virgins love thee. | 3 Pleasing is the fragrance of your perfumes; your name is like perfume poured out. No wonder the maidens love you! |
4 Draw me; we will run after thee: The king hath brought me into his chambers; We will be glad and rejoice in thee; We will make mention of thy love more than of wine: Rightly do they love thee. | 4 Take me away with you--let us hurry! Let the king bring me into his chambers. We rejoice and delight in you; we will praise your love more than wine. How right they are to adore you! |
5 I am black, but comely, Oh ye daughters of Jerusalem, As the tents of Kedar, As the curtains of Solomon. | 5 Dark am I, yet lovely, O daughters of Jerusalem, dark like the tents of Kedar, like the tent curtains of Solomon. |
6 Look not upon me, because I am swarthy, Because the sun hath scorched me. My mother's sons were incensed against me; They made me keeper of the vineyards; [But] mine own vineyard have I not kept. | 6 Do not stare at me because I am dark, because I am darkened by the sun. My mother's sons were angry with me and made me take care of the vineyards; my own vineyard I have neglected. |
7 Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, Where thou feedest [thy flock], Where thou makest [it] to rest at noon: For why should I be as one that is veiled Beside the flocks of thy companions? | 7 Tell me, you whom I love, where you graze your flock and where you rest your sheep at midday. Why should I be like a veiled woman beside the flocks of your friends? |
8 If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, Go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, And feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents. | 8 If you do not know, most beautiful of women, follow the tracks of the sheep and graze your young goats by the tents of the shepherds. |
9 I have compared thee, O my love, To a steed in Pharaoh's chariots. | 9 I liken you, my darling, to a mare harnessed to one of the chariots of Pharaoh. |
10 Thy cheeks are comely with plaits [of hair], Thy neck with strings of jewels. | 10 Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings, your neck with strings of jewels. |
11 We will make thee plaits of gold With studs of silver. | 11 We will make you earrings of gold, studded with silver. |
12 While the king sat at his table, My spikenard sent forth its fragrance. | 12 While the king was at his table, my perfume spread its fragrance. |
13 My beloved is unto me [as] a bundle of myrrh, That lieth betwixt my breasts. | 13 My lover is to me a sachet of myrrh resting between my breasts. |
14 My beloved is unto me [as] a cluster of henna-flowers In the vineyards of En-gedi. | 14 My lover is to me a cluster of henna blossoms from the vineyards of En Gedi. |
15 Behold, thou art fair, my love; Behold thou art fair; Thine eyes are [as] doves. | 15 How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh, how beautiful! Your eyes are doves. |
16 Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: Also our couch is green. | 16 How handsome you are, my lover! Oh, how charming! And our bed is verdant. |

The Kalu Yala Blog
TED Global and Perspective
June 30, 2013
by Emily OCoonahernPosted In: Our Global Community, The Creation of a Culture, Voices of Kalu Yala, Wandering Thoughts
Two weeks ago, some of the San Miguel and city interns were given the opportunity to attend a TED Global 2013 event, streaming from Edinburgh to Panama City. A four-day event, TED Global consisted of a series of 15 minutes lectures, with Wednesday's lectures falling under the themes of Listening to Nature, Money Talks, World on Its Head, and Regeneration.
One of the talks that especially caught my attention was Sonia Shah's talk regarding the malaria disease. She pointed out how even though this disease has been around for thousands of years and that we have the technology to cure it, we haven't found a way to eradicate it completely. Furthermore, the existing cultural disparity results with the people who are most effected by the disease being the ones who care least about addressing and solving this issue. Malaria is so centrally intertwined into their standard of normal life, that most don't believe that taking measures to protect themselves is worth the time and energy.
This sparked questions within myself regarding the idea that perspective plays in society as a whole. Coming from the United States, eradicating preventable diseases such as malaria seems like something that should be one of the top priorities for developing areas of the world. I've even noticed this idea of differing perspectives since arriving in Panamá as well. One of the neighboring towns had $15,000 available for a community project that they had to decide how to use. From my perspective, the most beneficial and practical way to spend the money is by installing filters and ways to ensure cleaner, healthier drinking water for the community. However, from the community's perspective, building a turf soccer field was what they decided was the best route to take. Their perspective on what is important within their communities greatly differs from what I would deem as important. And yet, part of what I've learned during my time in Panamá is that just because these perspectives are different from my own, by no means are they incorrect. They reflect the culture and importance to the people who have and will most likely reside in their local communities for the majority of their lives.
-Written by Emily O'Coonahern
One Response to "TED Global and Perspective"
Supremely important insight, Esteban! Whether it's getting someone to accept your ideas for a healthier lifestyle, a political position or marketing your idea, service or product, it's critical to understand that your "market" most likely does not have the same perspective you have, and probably has a range of perspectives that differ from one another's, as well as from your's. And the more "global" and multi-cultural your target market, the greater the differentiation in perspectives that must first be understood and then addressed.

Yeah, its pretty sad when you have to mark up shipping just to break even. Don't forget your PayPal fees as well.I'm with you Justin. If I can strike a deal off-line with people I do it every time, especially if I'm the seller. It saves you a TON in fees.
EBay and Paypal double-dipping on fees is very annoying, especially on shipping. With the top-rated discount I'm paying around 10% total in fees for my sales... I imagine fees could get to 15% or more for casual sellers who don't get discounts. I actually switched over to free shipping for all of my lastings last year. I figured there was no sense in leaving myself open to lower feedback ratings on shipping price if I was going to get hit with eBay fees either way. Ultimately I think that move boosted my sales, so I guess it was a win-win for me.
For the most part I won't "pay" for shipping on ebay. So if I would bid $x then I actually bid $x - shipping cost. Unless I really want it. So shipping cost stops me from bidding on a lot of things.
You might want to check with your neighbors for the package.
Really a USPS question, but I did buy off ebay. Anyone ever have a package marked as "delivered" in tracking but not get it? Anything I can do about it?
Auction houses typically charge anywhere from 10% to 25%Seriously, I know eBay isn't Christie's, but it's not that terrible.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Mufasa!
Facts about Mufasa
- Breed: Boxer/Shepherd (Unknown Type) Mix
- Color: Brindle
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Mufasa's Info...
I am housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Mufasa came in to the shelter as a stray in Jan. 2013. He is very playful and friendly and seems to be good with other dogs and kids but we are not sure about cats. Mfasa is around 9 months old and up to date on shots.
Other Pets at Hancock County Animal Shelter
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Mufasa, a New Cumberland Boxer/Shepherd (Unknown Type) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Boxer/Shepherd (Unknown Type) for sale in New Cumberland, or seeking a Boxer/Shepherd (Unknown Type) dog from a breeder in New Cumberland.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in New Cumberland already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a New Cumberland breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Boxer/Shepherd (Unknown Type) breeders who help with Boxer/Shepherd (Unknown Type) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in New Cumberland paves the way for another one to be saved.

Device for binding the edges of an opening, as on a garment or a bag. A zipper consists of two strips of material with metal or plastic teeth along the edges, and a sliding piece that interlocks the teeth when moved in one direction and separates them again when moved in the opposite direction. The idea of a slide fastener was first exhibited by Whitcomb L. Judson (died 1909) at the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893. The modern form of the zipper began to appear on clothing in the late 1920s.

Telcos concerned over red tape if ACCC powers expand
PUBLISHED: 31 Jan 2014 18:43:14 | UPDATED: 31 Jan 2014 18:43:14PRINT EDITION: 31 Jan 2014David Ramli
Telstra and Vodafone Hutchison Australia are worried that a government proposal to boost the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission's powers in an effort to cut global roaming prices could be expensive and unnecessary.
Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull released a draft version of the government's Telecommunications Legislation Amendment (International Mobile Roaming) Bill 2014 on Thursday.
The legislation would give the ACCC new powers to set wholesale mobile rates to help slash the amount travellers between Australia and New Zealand would pay when using their mobile phone services
The governments of both countries have spent years attempting to cut the price of phone calls. Consumer groups have argued the cost of downloading data on smartphones and making phone calls can be confusing and excessive.
But Vodafone Australia, SingTel-Optus and Telstra have all made moves to cut their global roaming charges over the past 12 months.
Vodafone Australia public policy general manager Matthew Lobb said the telco had led the way in reducing the fees paid by customers using their mobile devices in New Zealand.
"We are concerned that this new legislation will require Vodafone to be involved in time consuming, expensive regulatory assessment processes," he said. "We know the government is committed to reducing unnecessary red tape in this industry and ... we would like reassurances that we would not be negatively impacted by this legislation."
Telstra spokesman Scott Whiffin said the company was examining the draft Bill but added the global roaming market was improving.
"Any move to impose further regulation and cost on industry must take into account the fact the mobiles market is already highly competitive," he said.
"The joint Australian and New Zealand Government report into roaming last year concluded the quality of service is high, prices have been trending down and new service options are being introduced for consumers."
But the move has been welcomed by peak consumer advocate body the Australian Communications Consumer Action Network (ACCAN). Its chief executive Teresa Corbin said the move would give the regulator the powers needed to "bring sky-high global roaming margins back down to earth."
"While the telcos have recently made some encouraging moves on selected plans, ultimately the margins the telcos make off Australians overseas remain exorbitant," she said. "ACCAN research found some consumers fork out over $50 for 1MB of data while overseas."
Minister Turnbull said in a statement he would take all submissions from the telcos into account, "including those which argue that given recent market developments the legislation is not required."

Drunk, Davis had a perfect excuse for failing in his matrimonial duties: "Yes, I was impotent while drinking and around Becky towards our last months together. To be blunt, it was damn hard to even get a hard-on when Becky would give me a blow job. I just didn't have any feelings for her."
It was a situation worthy of a Jim Thompson novel. In prison Davis had met the woman of his dreams, but now that he was on the outside, he found himself trapped in a beer-soaked nightmare with a "fat broad" he couldn't stand. Desperate to live out the fantasies they'd promised each other for so long, they propositioned other residents of the apartment complex. Although they were usually turned down, on occasion Fincham would engage in sex with a female neighbor or the neighbor's husband while Davis watched.
It wasn't enough. Davis's attention was drawn to another female tenant, whom he found much more attractive than his wife or her playmate. He told a buddy that he wanted to drug the woman and rape her.
Fincham became suspicious of her husband, demanding a frequent accounting of his activities and whereabouts. She also started fooling around with his hair, dyeing it different colors. "I think it made her feel like she was out with someone different all the time," Davis mused.
After six months the Davises had worn out their welcome at the apartment house. They were accused of ripping off tenants, taking money for services and repairs that were never provided. Their constant lying, drinking and sex talk were generating other complaints. So Becky answered an ad for a ranch hand on the eastern plains, faking a resume that claimed the couple had been married sixteen years and had extensive farm experience.
In February 1986 they got the job and moved to Byers. The community was small, the prospects for wife-swapping quite bleak. As a rule, Davis had to go into town if he wanted to ogle other women. Fincham often came with him. Sometimes, Davis would later say, they talked about kidnapping women and turning them into sex slaves.
In May they went to a discount store in Fort Morgan and bought a .22 semi-automatic rifle. The purchase was a violation of Davis's parole, but he didn't think anyone would notice or care. They didn't.
If anyone asked him what the rifle was for, Davis had his answer ready. It was for all the snakes around his house.
I think Rebecca could have done a lot more than just shoot someone. You would have had to of seen her during the crime. She had so much jealous anger built up that I didn't even know who she was. (11/10/87)
I would get crazy thoughts in my head and my friend would give me the courage to live them out. (From "My Friend," an essay about alcoholism that Davis wrote while on death row.)
Gary Davis drank heavily in the weeks leading up to the murder. Bloated and bleary-eyed, he and Becky cruised around Fort Morgan, searching for their ideal "playmate." But as he saw it, the best prospects were located close to home, on the ranch adjacent to the property where the Davises lived. He talked often about his slender, attractive neighbors, Virginia May and her sister-in-law, Sue MacLennan--talk that made Becky furious.
A ranch hand would later testify that Davis made coarse remarks about May when they repaired fences close to her property. One time, while relieving himself, he even waved his genitals in the direction of her home, saying, "Come on, Virginia, baby. I'm here. Come to me."
The oldest in a close-knit ranch family, May was just weeks shy of her 34th birthday. She had a husband, a young son and daughter and a busy life of her own. She had no reason to suspect that she'd become a featured player in the squalid, pornographic movie playing in Davis's head. She barely knew Gary Davis.
As it turned out, Fincham and Davis targeted May only after two other attempts failed. On July 18, 1986, a woman named Tammy Beauprez, who lived on a farm south of Wiggins, was visited by a couple in a car bearing Kansas plates. While the woman driver asked directions to Byers, the man got out and tried to move behind Beauprez. When Beauprez's husband appeared, the man got back in the car and the couple took off. Beauprez later identified the odd visitors as Becky and Gary Davis.
Three days later--July 21, the last day of Davis's parole--Sue MacLennan received a phone call from Becky, who wanted to know if her husband was home. When MacLennan said he wasn't, Becky offered to drop off some used clothes for MacLennan's children. There were no clothes, but shortly after the call the Davises showed up at MacLennan's house with the .22 rifle in their car. Seeing a male ranch hand outside the house, Becky stayed only long enough for a quick iced tea. Her husband never got out of the car.
Early that evening the Davises showed up at Virginia May's door. May was expecting them; Becky had called her, too, offering children's clothes. She came out of the house with her four-year-old, Krista. Becky lured her to a tool shed with a request to borrow some wire stretchers. When they emerged, Gary Davis punched May in the face and dragged her into the car, while Becky shooed Krista into the house.

Most designers/programmers, my self included, will not turn over exclusive rights to any code because we like to reuse code segments in other works.

I did as stated above which was to get them to sign an agreement that owned the finished product and could sell, transfer, etc. my interest in this site and/script.
