On her second birthday, I would describe the entire day as such. Joy.
This photo pretty much sums up the day.
More to come from her party when this mama has taken a breath, gathered her thoughts, and can put it all into words.
She is two. And I am currently joyfully mind-blown :)
was almost 7 months old in these pictures...
...and now will be two in two weeks. TWO. 2. Dos.
Doesn't matter how I say it or type it, it seems unreal and super unfair. Look at that baby. My sweet little girl. She is still such a sweetie and gets cuter every day, I think ;) But gosh. Where did the time go? Why did it fly by so quickly? And all the other cliche things that people say as their children grow.
I now dream of her at her current age. It's weird but in my dreams she has grown too. Just the other day, I realized that I cannot remember her cry at this age. I know she cried, but now when I try to remember it all I hear is her cry now. Now she's almost two and her cries are over-exaggerated screams (funny, not funny, I know - #toddlerlife).
I look at this face and I just want to cry. My baby is going to be two...
There was this one time when a girl, who was a few days shy of her 18th birthday, went to a college party on 2424 Durham Street.
That night she met a boy, who had just turned 21.
That boy soon became her boyfriend, then later her fiance. Then, the same boy became her hardest breakup. But happily, her boyfriend again, a few months later. Then her fiance again. And then on October 28th, 2006, he became her husband.
A few years later, that boy (who was now a hard-working husband), became a papa to their adopted fur-baby. A few years after that, he became a papa again; this time to their baby girl.
Together, they have experienced love, friendship, hardship, a few bumps along the way, a lot of happiness, a fur-baby and a baby, and scrapbooks full of memories.
15 years have past since that fate-full night on 2424 Durham when they locked eyes, and never stopped thinking about one another. And today, they celebrate eight years of marriage.
Happy Anniversary to the boy with the striking blue eyes that made it hard to look away then, and still does. I cannot imagine my life, had I not been sitting with friends that night on the porch of 2424 Durham Street.
I spend so many days waiting for the weekend. That is until Ellis says or does something new and I think, "Man, I should write that down; wait! stop and enjoy this moment right now. Savor this - stop rushing to the next..." Reality is that each day passes so quickly. I jot things down here and there - hoping to put it in a scrapbook someday. I take plenty of photos, that's for sure, but printing them and getting them in a book of some sort, well, it's on my list too.
I've decided to start writing love notes to my sweet baby girl. Maybe once a week. Possibly once a month- like I did before she turned a year old. Or just when I feel like it's something that I should "jot down."
Putting them on my blog will certainly be a way to keep a record of them - a quick link to them when and if I ever get around to printing them to put in a scrapbook.
Dear Ellis,
At almost nineteen months your personality is really starting to shine through and it's so much fun watching you grow and learn. You are saying so many words now it's hard to keep up with.
I cannot say it enough how much joy - pure joy - it is to watch you each day learn new things, say new words, and play. You are growing so fast I just want to hold you closer, hug you tighter, and rock you a little longer each time you are in my arms. You are so loved and so important to me and so many of the people in your life.
I recently came across this very cool service called Chatbooks. For only $6 you can have a 6X6 book made from your Instagram feed photos. Each book has 60 pages. For six bucks and free shipping!!!
I thought it would make a cool gift to give to Adam for his birthday since he is in so many of the photos, so I had my entire feed (13 volumes) printed.
Each book spine is labeled by dates and by volume number.
When you do not have at least 60 photos for a book it tells you how many more you need until you can complete another volume.
If you subscribe, each time you get 60 new pictures on your feed, Chatbooks will automatically send you a new book.
You can change the cover photo for each book and also add some different text if you want, but what I love most is the that it also prints your original caption from your Instagram post.
Excuse my dirty blue fingernail. I had a fight with an ink cartridge. The cartridge won.
From the gifts that Ellis, Henry and I gave Adam for his birthday, I think he enjoyed looking through these the most. He commented that it was like, "looking through a time line of events from the past few years." Made me happy.
You may try using the coupon code "PICKED" to see if you can get one free book when you order three. Like I said earlier, I stumbled upon this service app from FreshlyPicked's blogpost, and she mentioned using the coupon code - I tried it and it worked a couple weeks ago, but it may expire soon.
I'm not a sponsor for Chatbooks in any way. I just wanted to share this because I thought it was cool and I am totally impressed with the quality for the price!
I posted this picture of Ellis this morning on Instagram. It was actually taken almost two months ago and I found it on my phone photostream this morning.
And then I got home and past this picture that is framed in our living room. She was all of twelve days old. Flaky skin still on her itty-bitty feet and all.
Hello, just yesterday.
Can we go back? Just for an hour or two?!
About a week ago, I was contacted via email by an editor of POPSUGAR.com. The email was short and sweet and basically just wanted to know if I would be willing to share my "how to" tutorial on E's alphabet wall.
Uh, duh! Of course!!!
So a couple of days ago, it was featured with some very awesome other DIY nursery ideas.
The article is here, if you want to check it out and see the other very cool ideas.
I say this trying to be very humble and totally not trying to toot-my-own-horn, but it is a great feeling to get a bit of recognition for something that you truly put your heart into.
Just wanted to share my excitement :)
...was FIESTA themed.
I cannot remember how the conversation went between my sister and I but I remember it was right before Ellis was born that we decided it would be so fun to have a Fiesta for her first birthday. The cute dress, the bright color decorations, the flowers...a PINATA! And so when it came time to start planning, I dove in head first.
Of course, the planner that I am, I had to draw it out first.
A lot of the stuff I made ahead - the party sacks, the "lets eat cake" and "nacho bar" banner, the tissue paper flowers (with help from my sweet friend!), the pinata-like number 1, and the monogram E's. The rest of the decor was bought in San Antonio by my sister and my amazing friend, Sarah.
With an hour and half to decorate the restarant room, my sister, my cousin, my mom, and I had the room decorated and ready for guests to arrive.
I started working on the party favor sacks back in early January when my students were working on linoleum printing blocks. I drew the design on the block based off of this beautiful chalkboard sign by the awesomely talented blogger of Little Baby Garvin, and then cut it from the linoleum and printed it directly onto the brown paper sacks.
I then added strips of fringed tissue paper to the bottoms of the sacks topped with a strip of washi tape for a finishing touch.
I made way more than I needed, but that's the beauty of printing with lots of colors - I just couldn't stop!
The cake was made my a very talented friend of mine, Tonya Staggs. She did a wonderful job making it look colorful and fun.
She had a smash cake that was just as yummy as the big cake, but there was no smashing that took place (smile).
Just a little finger tasting...
Followed by some water drinking...this girl is not used to sweet stuff...on this, I kid and question if she is my daugher or not...
And then she ordered that it be taken away - again, I kid, but that's what this looks like, right?!
Unfortunately, this is the only actual photo we got of the three of us at her first birthday party, but at least we got one. I wore a Mexican top like hers. I realize the days for us to dress alike are going to go fast, so I took full advantage.
I'm happy to say that her first birthday party was a complete success! Sweet pea was an absolute peach the whole time and enjoyed being carried and doted on by lots of family and friends who genuinely love and care for her. I'll be the first to admit that the planning that went into this was sometimes stressful and time consuming, but to see this smile, I will do it a hundred times over again.
She and I went home soon after the party was over and took a much needed siesta together. The day could not have been any better.
On your very first birthday, you:
My sweet Ellis, on your first birthday, my one wish for you is that you always trust in God. Be comforted by Him, and know He is by your side always. If I have learned one thing from this past year, it is to lean on Him in good times and tough times; and to pray. We love you so much, baby girl. Happy Happy 1st birthday, Ellis Chandler Rose. ___________________________________________________________________________
People will tell you - a lot - but you won't believe them... And then the year goes by, and your baby, OUR baby, is turning a year old. I remember one of my best friends telling me time and time again - like when Ellis was crying for no reason, or when she wouldn't take a nap and I thought I would never get myself dressed before 1PM, or when just leaving the house felt like an act of congress - I can hear my understanding sweet friends' voice saying, "...it's such a brief period of time, I promise!" And it's only now, on her first birthday, that I look back and my heart immediately goes back to those moments of time and I am in awe of HOW brief it truly has been. She was so right. And though I know the first full year is only the beginning of our beautiful story with our girl, it feels as though my heart is in my throat. My baby is now a year old and it's the most bittersweet feeling that I suspect all parents get when their children turn a year older. It's been such an incredible and enormous year. I dare say, the best year of my life. The hardest, most challenging - uh, hell yes - but gosh, the most amazing and wonderful year. And I thank God for getting us here and trust Him to know that tomorrow will be just as amazing.

Scratching the Surface of the Microbiome...
Findings from the National Faculty Study
The Agency Weighs In on What...
Getting a Sure Hold on Protein...
(Page 1 of 1)
Xoma and Takeda Pharmaceutical entered into an agreement for therapeutic Mab discovery and development. Using its extensive collection of phage display libraries and antibody optimization technologies, Xoma will discover therapeutic antibodies against multiple targets selected by Takeda.
The agreement calls for Takeda to make upfront and milestone payments to Xoma, fund the company's R&D activities, including manufacturing of the antibodies for preclinical and early clinical supplies, and pay royalties on sales of products resulting from the collaboration. Payments to Xoma could exceed $100 million before royalties in the course of the collaboration.
Xoma will also undertake preclinical studies to support regulatory filings, cell line and process development, and production of antibodies for initial clinical trials. Takeda will be then responsible for clinical trials and commercialization of drugs after IND submission and is granted the right to manufacture once the product enters into Phase II trials.

Becareful what you wish for Sam Adama is a hit man, who makes a living by killing people for the Quatral. Clarrise is plotting to blow up a Pyramid Stadium and kill thousands of people just so she can have an opportunity to upload a handful of people into computers, and the Battlestar Galactica show has Admiral Cain as a lesbian, not exactly role models those.
I believe part of the point - both of the characters themselves and
's commentary on them - is that the LGBT characters are indeed all these things,
and so are the straight characters
. Sam Adama and Clarice Willow and Helena Cain and Felix Gaeta are all as admirable and detestable as every other character in the BSG-verse. They are presented neither as being horrible people
they're LGBT nor as unrealistically noble to
being seen as evil because they're LGBT. They simply
They are not meant to be role models, they are meant to be characters. And the fact that despite his job Sam Adama is actually the one who probably his head on straightest of all of them just goes to show how messed up the rest of them are.
Anyway, as to the show itself, I have only seen the first half and the first ep of the second half, after which I moved house and was no longer in a location that showed it on TV. Obviously there are "other ways" to access it, but the fact that I have never bothered doing so probably speaks to my lack of excitement over it. Not that it was actively bad, just that it seemed a bit sluggish and meandering, and just as things started to pull together I had to drop it.
Had it been given time to develop I imagine it would have become a fascinating piece of science fiction (in the true sense of the phrase - "posit one little advancement and watch what happens"), and the earlier episodes would have been re-appraised as patient set-up.

Ill. Prof. apologizes for sex-toy demonstration - Yahoo! News CHICAGO – A Northwestern University professor apologized Saturday for letting a couple demonstrate the use of a sex toy after one of his classes, but he said he still sees "absolutely no harm" in what happened. Psychology professor J. Michael Bailey said he regrets hurting Northwestern's reputation and "upsetting so many people in this particular manner. I apologize." The incident took place Feb. 21. After a class on human sexuality, Bailey invited students to stay for a discussion of sexual fetishes. He repeatedly warned that it would be graphic. The discussion included a woman who stripped and allowed her partner to use a sex toy on her. Tsk, Tsk...........Tsk. :nono: Naughty, Very Naughty
Where were all these female teachers that rape their students, when I was in school I used to get strapped by the principal for looking up my history teachers dress, she wore brown woolen bloomers and garters her tits looked like beach balls, one was bigger than the other, those teachers that got arrested for having sex with the students were pretty good looking women, I have to say that as far as all this sh!t goes those wern't "the good old days" :bricks:
I agree, where were all these teachers when i was in school? And how can they rape their male students, slip them Viagra?
I sure as sh!t didn't need Viagra, I didn't start using Viagra until I was 86, I own a blow up rubber women I painted her ???????
NO NO NO, How can a female teacher FORCE one of her male students to have sex...she can't. So it must be statutory rape, but you never see it portraited that way.
I never understood all that "woman rapes man" stuff, sounds like another unwinnable battle with Mother Nature. "woman seduces boy" or "woman arouses boy, boy penetrates woman, boy climaxes, boy runs home and tells mother, woman is arressted" thats more like it. WE HAVE EXPERTS ON HERE THEY WILL STRAIGHTEN THIS OUT
Actually, the episode happened at a private university (Northwestern) which is quite pricey. I am sure the professor makes substantially more then 52K. But, less then the $250,000 which the right was ranting about as not that much money not too long ago.
Oh, got it. This happened locally here. I'm still amazed that it happened. The first article stated a number of students left the class before the proceedings began. I'm thinking this is probably a good class to take if your trying to get laid.

Shop around and think strategically, property investor
PUBLISHED: 12 Apr 2012 00:01:41 | UPDATED: 12 Apr 2012 06:20:47PUBLISHED: 12 Apr 2012 PRINT EDITION: 12 Apr 2012Gayle Bryant
The right residential property investment can reap rich dividends. Photo Glenn Hunt
The number of people borrowing to buy investment properties continues to stagnate and there is little sign that investors are ready to re-enter the market.
In its latest housing finance report, the Australian Bureau of Statistics found the total value of investment housing commitments was up 0.2 per cent to $14 million in January 2012 compared with December 2011, while the value of investment housing commitments seasonally adjusted fell 7.1 per cent in January.
The managing director of 1300HomeLoan, John Kolenda, agrees he hasn't seen a huge surge in people borrowing to invest in residential property.
"It seems to be flat," he says. "People are more price sensitive and more cautious. They are waiting on the sidelines until they find a property that represents really good value. They also don't want to compete with first-home buyers either, although this reason has disappeared." [At the end of last year, the NSW government stopped its first-home buyer stamp duty concessions for established houses.]
Kolenda says of those still buying, the more seasoned investor is taking a strategic approach.
"Many are using fixed mortgages, as there are quite good rates around," he says. "Others are choosing part-fixed, part variable."
The chief executive officer of Resi Home Loans, Lisa Montgomery, says interest-only loans used to be popular with investors as they allow you to get the most tax deductions.
"But now capital gains are flat, so if you're trying to achieve an investment strategy it is better to have a principal and interest loan so you can gain some equity," she says.
"If your strategy is to take some equity and buy another property, you really only have two ways of doing this. You put a lot of equity into the loan upfront or you use the capital gain that you've made."
Montgomery says there are good fixed rate loans out there.
Some loans are still under 6 per cent but they will come with certain parameters, which can include break costs.
"If something goes wrong and you need to sell, the break costs can be high so you need to factor that into your decision if you are going to fix all or part of your loan," she says.
"If you want a fixed rate maybe only fix a part of it for more flexibility and you also need to be confident you won't need to sell early."
She adds that you also need to take land tax into consideration. "If you are building a portfolio, you might want to build it over a number of states," she says. "If you are in one area and exposed to land tax, you can reduce the exposure by buying in different states."
Montgomery says she doesn't see any value in spreading loans between lenders. "It is better to have it with one, as it will give you more leverage with them," she says.
"If you have got one person dealing with you, they know what you are up to and can give you guidance about your next property. That is one concern I have with online loans. While they are very cheap, there is no guidance offered."
Kolenda says investors may have to choose different lenders because of the conditions some have. "Some won't lend on properties that are under 50 square metres," he says. "There are others that won't lend on properties that come with rental guarantees as they are considered higher risk."
He says lenders can differ in how much they will lend. "Circumstances vary for each lender so you may need to go to alternative ones depending on the property you are considering buying," he says.
A common strategy is to take out a cross-collateral loan – one loan over two or more properties –which has the advantage of providing the lender with more security.
"Some advisers will tell you to take out a cross-collateral loan while others advise against it and say to keep loans separate but you need to remember that each mortgage has individual set-up costs," says Montgomery.

A year for which I'd waited .a lifetime
Ten ... nine ... eight ... seven ... six...." As I stood near the corner of 44th and Broadway counting down the final seconds of 1999, I craned my neck up toward the sparkling ball perched high above Times Square and tried my best to freeze the moment in my mind. I wanted to be able to look back on this in years to come and vividly remember the giddiness I was feeling.
The seconds ticked down, and I felt the surging energy of the crowd rise to the moment. I couldn't help but wonder: What would I remember most about this night? Would it be the hail of confetti, the shouts of jubilant revelers, the shower of fireworks arcing high above the throng? What would, in years to come, stand out foremost about this single instant in my life?
I had dreamed of this night since I was 14 - back when I used to slip out the back door of the family home on balmy summer evenings. I'd gaze up at the heavens through the Carolina pines - stretched out on the soft wood of the backyard picnic table. It seemed such a distant event then. Nearly a quarter century in the future - so many starry skies in between, so much life to be lived first. Back then, I couldn't help pondering what the world might be like. Where would I be? What would I be doing? Would I be rich? Successful? Happy?
I decided to make a pact with the future. I'd be there that night. Somehow, someway, I'd make it to Times Square to bear witness to the celebration. It seemed a reasonable dream, then. It was one I could tuck away on a shelf until the far-off day arrived.
"Are you crazy?" concerned friends asked me when I told them of my New Year's plans. Nearly 2-1/2 decades had passed since I'd made my picnic-table promise. It was Dec. 31, 1999, my date with destiny. Anything could happen, they warned me. A bomb might explode. Riots could break out. The world might end.
I thanked them for their concern, assured them that I would be all right, and boarded a northbound train in Atlanta. Destination: New York City.

All Critics (37) | Top Critics (20) | Fresh (27) | Rotten (10)
You know exactly where this one is going and yet it works for the most part.
It has a few laughs but doesn't deserve any trophies.
There's a tremendous energy to Trophy Wife, making it a delightful comedy that's far more wholesome than its title implies.
Trophy Wife could prove to be one of the more charming comedies on television.
Grounded in parental reality, it's funny and promises to be funnier.
It's the optics of the title that will prevent perfectly reasonable people from not tuning in. Keeping people once they arrive will be easy.
As extreme as the three-wife concept might be, the execution is believable and the scenarios genuinely funny.
There's something oddly comforting in the harmless, fluffy nature of the show.
Akerman's effortlessly sexy wackiness is a delightful counterpoint to the dour authority of Marcia Gay Harden as first wife Dr. Diane and the daffy neuroses of Michaela Watkins as flighty Wife No. 2 Jackie.
What won me over to Trophy Wife was the sense that the writers not only have specific ideas about who the characters are, but they also have a great deal of affection for every member of this ad hoc family.
The charming pilot swerves quickly from the expected Bravo-reality-show-catfight scenario and becomes something more complicated and rewarding.
In many ways it's not fair -- a few weeks with this cast could produce some intriguing results -- but it's hard to imagine the audience waiting around to see what jells.
Akerman bumps into things with abandon and just the right glimmer of grace. Her knees knock and her limbs fold up like a newborn colt, learning to walk. But her show, anyway, already has legs.
The only character who really lands is Akerman's - she's charming and plays drunk amusingly - but that's the one who needs to if the show is going to work.
It's a pile of cliches on top of stereotypes on top of bad comedy.
Much to my surprise, Trophy Wife turned out to be one of my favorite pilots of the fall season. And pretty much completely not the show I thought it would be.
I so wanted to like this show, but Trophy is no prize.
Although not as funny (or loud) as The Goldbergs, Trophy Wife offers some promise if viewers can get beyond its Cougar Town-like title, which may be a high bar to clear.
Buried beneath the frenzied, too-eager-to-please surface is a comedy that, at its best, evokes the colorful bustle of Malcolm in the Middle and the worn-down wisdom of Men of a Certain Age. There's life in it.
Even if you swallow all of Trophy Wife's absurd contrivances, you won't be laughing very much.
I named Trophy Wife one of the fall's 10 best based on a pilot that was better than it sounded on paper.
We believe they were brought together because someone thought it would add up to a good sitcom. Sadly, not quite.
Whitford is always winning, and even the poor exes find wiggle room inside their cliches.
There is some vague promise afoot in the ensemble of performers; they're all adept enough to build distinctive characters if they have the time and the backing of writers who know how to write for actors.
Blended family strains for laughs with wacky sitcom hijinks.
The sitcom chefs at ABC have fired up the Cuisinart in an effort to create another blended-family winner on a par with Modern Family, but the result, Trophy Wife, is forced-frivolity mush.
Akerman has wit and style, and so does the show, which is not the swirling bimbomania you might expect from the title.
In its pilot form, at least, Trophy Wife is surprisingly self-assured and confident, the sort of show that seems ready to hit its stride in just a week or two.
[Trophy Wife] boasts one of the new season's most charming couples in Akerman and Whitford.
Warm, sly, and very, very funny.
Akerman is reason enough to buy in for at least a few episodes.
These are not people you want to spend 22 minutes with every Tuesday night.
The show is so intent on jumping to the "hot stepmom" gags that it doesn't give its characters much room to breathe - much less time for us to get to know them, or each other.
Trophy Wife is the only new sitcom that clears the double hurdles of cast chemistry and story pacing in the pilot episode.
Thanks to appealing female leads and a clever script, Trophy Wife transcends its simplistic title.
There aren't a ton of laugh-out-loud moments. In fact, the pilot inspires more smiles than guffaws. However, as sitcoms go, this one isn't bad.
The half-hour is loaded with issues and it's all too sudden and sitcom-random...but these things happen.

"The inside of a man's heart is more vast than even space itself and it is something which others can never fully understand. But Tetsuro trusts in Maetel's hear and travels the galaxy, not knowing the Galaxy Express 999's final destination." - Narrator
As the GE999 approaches Mirage, the next stop on its route, Tetsuro asks Maetel about the planet. Maetel tells him that it is very similar to Earth and can sustain life but no humans live there. Tetsuro is curious about this but his train of thought is interrupted when a rock comes flying through the window, surprising everyone since the planet was allegedly devoid of humans. After landing, Maetel and Tetsuro decide to investigate the occurrence. |
While exploring the planet they approach a spherical space ship (similar to ones seen in the Dragon Ball franchise) but fall into a trap located near it. A robotic device calls out to them and lowers a ladder down after identifying them as humans rather than food. After exiting the trap, the two head into the spaceship and meet a man with his back to them named Shosetsu Yoi, who came to the isolated planet after many trials and tribulations seeking solitude. Shosetsu tells the two of them that he plans to write the universe's longest novel as well as challenging the limits of how long a man's hair can grow. As he turns to face his guests, he is rendered speechless by Maetel's beauty and struggles to string together anything more than grunts and guttural noises. Tetsuro tries to get his attention but suddenly the lights go out and Tetsuro awakens in the middle of a rocky desert. |
With Maetel nowhere to be found, Tetsuro begins to search his surroundings and spots a vehicle fleeing the area with Shosetsu and an unconscious Maetel inside. Tetsuro tries to chase down the vehicle but is unable to. As he struggles to continue chasing them, he hears the whistle of the GE999 and looks up to see it traveling off into space. Having missed the train, Tetsuro heads back Shosetsu's home and resigns himself to the fate of living there isolated. |
Meanwhile, Maetel wakes up aboard the GE999 to see Shosetsu oggling her. The Conductor is alerted that something is awry with the passengers and after an inspection, he discovers what happened and turns the GE999 around and return to Mirage. Maetel returns with Shosetsu to Tetsuro's location but before the two can leave, Shosetsu pulls a gun out saying that if he can't have Maetel then he'll kill her and himself. There is a stand off between him and Tetsuro, but Maetel asks Tetsuro to leave, which he reluctantly agrees to. Having left, Maetel offers to show him her body and if he still desires her, she will let him shoot her. She opens up her coat (with her back to the camera) and Shosetsu seems horrified and allows her to leave. With the issue peacefully resolved, she and Tetsuro board the GE999 and continue on their journey to Andromeda. |

Striking Tiger Grass Wreath
By: Daniele from We Know Stuff
The fall is the best time for nature crafts. To make this Striking Tiger Grass Wreath, all you need to do is gather as much tiger grass as you can! Tiger grass wreaths make beautiful autumn door decorations or hang it inside over your fireplace.
- Plumes from 1 mature tiger grass plant
- 8 Blades from tiger grass
- Small Styrofoam wreath
- Glue gun
- Cut down as many plumes as you can. Depending on your wreath size, you may need more or less. Leave 5 inches of stalk from the plume.
- Holding the plume stalks on an angle, push them through the Styrofoam. You will want to stagger the plumes so that you avoid having any bare spots in your finished wreath. To do this, create a triangular pattern using 3 plumes for each triangle. Trim the stalks that are sticking through the back with a scissor.
- Using a glue gun, glue the blades of grass to the inside of the wreath. This will cover any white showing through from where the plumes don't reach.
- Trim remainding grass blades to 3 inches and glue around the back of the wreath (f you are hanging it on a door with glass windows, this will keep you from looking at a foam back).
- Gently shake it to fill it out. Hang with twine or a wreath hanger.

Passport picture not behind influx of tourists according to Bibury residents
Posted: July 23, 2014
|The quaint and picturesque village of Bibury has become a mecca for tourists in recent years.
But villagers don't believe a row of historic and stunning cottages featuring on British passports is the reason why.
Since October 2010 those issued with the travelling ticket can see a colourful picture of Arlington Row, next to landmarks such as Ben Nevis to the White Cliffs of Dover.
National papers have stated the influx of visitors in the Cotswold village is down to the passport picture.
But residents seem to disagree and believe it is down to an overwhelming increase in coach trips with foreign visitors targeting the village.
Kate Marriott, owner of Bibury Trout Farm, said: "It definitely isn't the passport making a difference.
"We have 40,000 visitors a year coming in and even more using the cafe and not a single person has mentioned the passport picture.
"The increase has been caused by foreign visitors, but the problem is they are on non-stop tours and only stay for 20 odd minutes, get a few pictures and go."
She believes the village's popularity stems from William Morris describing it as "the most beautiful village in England" and Japanese Emperor Hirohito's visit during the first half of the last century.
John Johnson has lived in Arlington Row for nearly 30 years with his wife Caroline.
He said when he was once visiting London he was offered a tour of Cotswold and told he would get the chance to visit the famous cottages.
But like Kate, he does not believe the attraction is to do with the passport picture.
He said: "It is only on the new passport and it does not say where the photograph is.
"There has been an influx of tourist here and in particular those from Japan.
"We used to get two to three coaches a week, now we are getting four to five a day. It is too much really."
Neighbour Terry French, who also lives in the cottages owned by the National Trust agreed. He said: "The village is not made for such a stream of people and sometimes it becomes horrendous."
They were built around 1380 from local stone and began life as a monastic wool store. It was converted into a row of weavers' cottages in the 17th century, for them to provide de-greasing cloth for Arlington Mill.

I myself do not know April nor the victum. BUT this woman is an adult and she is responsible for her own actions. It does not matter if she is no longer a teacher, this girl is 15 years old. Making her only about a sophmore in highschool now. It would be different if the girl was graduated from high school but she is not even old enough to get charged as an adult for anything. This woman, April, is a predator. To anyone defending her...think if it was your child. »

Cudicini close to Tottenham exit
Tottenham goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini is likely to join MLS giants LA Galaxy in January, according to reports.
Cudicini moved to White Hart Lane in January 2009 on a free transfer after spending nine years with London rivals Chelsea.
But the 39-year-old was restricted to just 20 appearances for Spurs because of injury - including a motorcycle crash with resulted in two fractured wrists and some pelvis damage.
The Italian stopper has fallen further down the pecking order at Tottenham and has an opportunity for some regular game time in the States.
Should the move go ahead, Cudicini will join former Tottenham striker Robbie Keane at the Galaxy.

Hazing Statement
UH Philosophy Regarding Hazing
- The University of Houston believes that true human development can best occur in an
atmosphere of social and ethical responsibility. - The University views responsible pre-initiation activity as a positive educational approach
to preparation for student organization membership. - The University views hazing activities as not contributing to the positive development or
welfare of the individual. - Therefore, the University of Houston recognizes acts of hazing as irresponsible, intolerable
and inconsistent with the principles of higher education and basic human development and
may be illegal.
UH Hazing Policy
I. Hazing Defined
Hazing is defined as any action taken or situation created which, regardless of intent or
consent of the participants:
a. Produces or is reasonably likely to produce, bodily harm or danger, mental or physical
discomfort, embarrassment, harassment, fright, humiliation or ridicule, or otherwise
compromises the dignity of an individual;
b. Compels an individual to participate in any activity which is unlawful and/or contrary to
the rules, policies and regulations of the University;
c. Will, unreasonably or unusually, impair an individual's academic efforts, and/or
d. Occurs on or off campus.
All students are strictly prohibited from engaging in any hazing activity.
II. Examples of actions and activities which are explicitly prohibited include but are not
limited to the following:
a. Compelling individuals to consume alcohol or drugs.
b. Paddling in any form, shoving or otherwise striking individuals.
c. Compelling individuals to wear or carry unusual, uncomfortable, degrading or
physically burdensome articles or apparel.
d. Compelling individuals to engage in sexual behaviors, sexual or racial harassment or
slurs or exhibitionism.
e. Depriving individuals of the opportunity for sufficient sleep, decent edible meals or
access to means of bodily cleanliness.
f. Activities which impair an individual's academic efforts by causing exhaustion, loss of
sleep or reasonable study time, or by preventing an individual from attending class.
g. The creation of excessive fatigue by participation in physically demanding activities
(calisthenics, runs, etc.).
h. Compelling individuals to eat or drink unusual substances or compelling the
consumption of undue amounts or odd preparations of food.
i. Having substances thrown at, poured on or otherwise applied to the bodies of
j. Morally degrading or humiliating games or any other activities which make an
individual the object of amusement, ridicule or intimidation.
k. Transporting individuals against their will, abandoning individuals at distant locations,
or conducting any "kidnap," "ditch" or "road trip" that may in any way endanger or
compromise the health, safety or comfort of any individual.
l. Causing an individual to be indecently exposed or exposed to the elements.
m. Requiring an individual to remain in a fixed position for a long period of time.
n. Compelling an individual to be branded or tattooed.
o. "Line-ups" involving intense shouting of obscenities or insults.
p. Compelling individuals to participate in activities (pranks, scavenger hunts, etc.) which
encourage the defacement of property; engage in theft; harass other individuals, groups
of individuals or organizations; or disrupt the normal activities of the University.
q. Tests of courage, bravery, stamina or sexuality.
r. Intentionally deceiving members, prior to initiation, to make them believe they will not
be initiated.
s. Intentionally deceiving new members (pledges, associates, initiates, etc.) to make them
think they will be struck or hurt.
t. Excluding an individual from social contact for prolonged periods of time.
u. Compelling an individual to engage in acts of personal servitude.
III. Consent Is No Defense
Any of the activities described above upon which the initiation or admission into, or
affiliation with, or continued membership in an organization is directly conditioned, shall be
presumed to be "compelled activities;" the willingness of an individual to participate not
IV. Burden of Acceptability
The burden to ensure that student organization activities are acceptable under this policy
rests with the student organization. This is a preliminary test for hazing: If you are not sure
whether an activity is hazing, it probably is. Therefore, the activity should be dropped or
discussed with the appropriate University official. Questions regarding the acceptability of a
proposed student organization activity should be discussed with an activities advisor in the
Center for Fraternity and Sorority Life or the Center for Student Involvement.
V. Applicability of Community Standards
The terms and concepts (e.g., humiliating, degrading, unusual, uncomfortable, embarrassing,
demeaning, etc.) cited in this policy shall be interpreted by university officials in relation to
acceptable and applicable community standards.
VI. Enforcement
a. The President or Chair of each registered student organization is responsible for
informing the members (pledges, associate members, initiated members, affiliates, etc.)
of the organization of the UH policy regarding hazing. It is suggested that the President
or Chair read and distribute a copy of this policy to each member of the organization
during the first meeting of each semester.
b. The President or Chair of each registered student organization is responsible for
informing guests and alumni members of this policy and is additionally responsible for
controlling the actions of guests and alumni members relative to this policy.
c. It is the responsibility of any and all individuals who have firsthand knowledge of the
planning or actual occurrence of a hazing activity to promptly report said knowledge to
the Dean of Students Office.
Summary of the Texas Education Code Regarding Hazing
I. Definition of Hazing
Hazing means any intentional, knowing or reckless act, occurring on or off the campus of an
educational institution, by one person alone or acting with others, directed against a student,
that endangers the mental or physical health or safety of a student for the purpose of
pledging, being initiated into, affiliating with, holding office in or maintaining membership
in any organization whose members are or included students at an educational institution.
The term includes but is not limited to: any type of physical brutality, such as whipping,
beating, striking, branding, electronic shocking, placing of a harmful substance on the body
or similar activity; any type of physical activity, such as sleep deprivation, exposure to the
elements, confinement in a small space, calisthenics or other activity that subjects the
student to an unreasonable risk or harm or that adversely affects the mental or physical
health or safety of the student; any activity involving consumption of a food, liquid,
alcoholic beverage, liquor, drug or other substance which subjects the student to an
unreasonable risk or harm or which adversely affects the mental or physical health or safety
of the student; any activity that intimidates or threatens the student with ostracism, that
subjects the student to extreme mental stress, shame or humiliation, or that adversely affects
the mental health or dignity of the student or discourages the student from entering or
remaining registered in an educational institution, or that may reasonably be expected to
cause a student to leave the organization or the institution rather than submit to acts
described in this subsection; any activity that induces, causes or requires the student to
perform a duty or task which involves a violation of the Penal Code.
II. Personal Hazing Offense
A person commits an offense if he or she engages in hazing; solicits, encourages, directs,
aids or attempts to aid another in engaging in hazing; recklessly permits hazing to occur; or
has firsthand knowledge of the planning of a specific hazing incident involving a student in
an educational institution, or firsthand knowledge that a specific hazing incident has
occurred, and knowingly fails to report said knowledge in writing to the Dean of Students
Office or other appropriate official/office of the institution.
1. Failure to report hazing – fine up to $2,000; jail up to 180 days; or both.
2. Hazing without serious bodily injury – fine up to $2,000; jail up to 180 days; or both.

4. Hazing resulting in death—fine up to $10,000; jail not less than 180 days nor more than
two years; or both.
*In cases which do not result in death, community service may be imposed in lieu of a jail
III. Organization Hazing Offense
An organization commits a hazing offense if the organization condones or encourages
hazing or if an officer or any combination of members, pledges or alumni of the
organization commits or assists in the commission of hazing.
1. Hazing that does not result in personal injury, property damage or loss: fine of not less
than $5,000 nor more than $10,000.
2. Hazing that results in personal injury, property damage or loss: fine of not less than
$5,000 nor more than double the amount lost or expenses incurred because of such
injury, damage or loss.
IV. Consent Not A Defense
It is not a defense to prosecution of an offense that the person against whom the hazing was
directed consented to or acquiesced in the hazing activity.
V. Immunity From Prosecution
The court may grant immunity from prosecution to each person who is subpoenaed and does
testify for the prosecution. Any person reporting a specific hazing incident to the Dean of
Students Office or other appropriate official/office and/or participates in any judicial
proceeding as a result of the report is immune from liability, civil or criminal. Medical
practitioners reporting treatment of students who have been subjected to hazing activities
shall be immune from civil or other liability. Persons reporting in bad faith or with malice
are not protected.

Selena Gomez may have broken up with Justin two or three times since he's been spotted with Barbara, but if she's worried about the Victoria's Secret supermodel, she doesn't need to be. Barbara continues to tell all of her friends that her and Justin are just friends!
Barbara Palvin was reportedly the source behind Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez's original breakup back in early November. However, a source, who is close to Barbara, tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively that they are "just friends."
A source close to Barbara tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively, "Barbara swears she and Justin are just platonic friends."
No Worries For The Holidays, Selena
While Justin is at home celebrating the holidays with his family Barbara will be in "Hungary for the holidays," our source adds. Selena has no reason to worry of a secret hookup during Christmas!
Our source continues, "Nothing happened between Barbara and Justin — they're just friends. Barbara acts really, really young. She's gorgeous, but she acts young. Justin wouldn't be attracted to her because she's such a baby. They're both just kids."
Barbara & Justin's Recent Hookup In Miami?
Though Barbara claims she didn't cause the breakup between the Biebs and Selena, a video shows the two getting friendly backstage at the VS fashion show, taped on Nov. 6. And Life & Style recently reported that they hung out again, this December, at one of Justin's Jingle Ball stops in Miami!
Barbara WAS in Miami on the day of Justin's performance at Jingle Ball — she even tweeted a photo of herself in front of his tour bus.
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Do you believe Barbara?

Justin and Barbara are perfect for each other. She is younger and acts fun. He will tire of Selena telling him what to do, and being more like a big sister/authority figure to him. I think she is a bit judgemental and snobby. Barbara has more of a European attitude, more fun and easy-going, plus she is beyond gorgeous. In a couple of years, i bet Justin and Barbara get together. But, whoever Justin ends up with, I just hope he is happy, like anyone else.
