Welcome to Angels!
A group for people who have experienced loss of ANY kind. I believe in the power of people listening to each other. I believe in the importance of people supporting each other as they take each step on their individual journey through grief. I believe in each of us finding our own path. Sharing experiences which may shed light upon our own.
What can this group do? Provide a safe environment where we can say what we feel without worry of repercussions. A community of kindred spirits. A place to cry without apologizing. A place to laugh because we need to. A place to be angry or sad without recriminations. Let us say what we need to say. Not judge us for what it is that we do say.
Why did I start this group? Because I have lost a child, and as I get to know more people on justapinch.com, I have found that there are many who have had similar losses.
Grief is a natural response to loss. It's the emotional suffering you feel when something or someone you love is taken away. You may associate grief with the death of a loved one, and this type of loss does often cause the most intense grief. However, any loss can cause grief: loss of a child or parent, a miscarriage, a loved one's serious illness, a relationship breakup, loss of a friendship, and death of a pet.
There is no one who can understand your situation better than someone who is going through or has already gone through it. There is only so much one person can cope with alone, and if this is going to be a long journey, then it is nice to have some company on the road! This is YOUR group. Remember that no pain is too small. Talk about anything you wish. There are no restrictions here. God bless!

Created to Love
Nov 24, 2013
Print Page Larger Smaller
By Charles F. Stanley
Have you ever wondered if your life has a purpose? The Word of God says it does—one that is both noble and desirable: Every believer was created by God to love and be loved.
God loves you personally and individually, without limit or qualification. He desires to shower you with His affection and kindness. Let me assure you of several things:
God's love is the most important thing we can know about Him.
The very essence of God's being—in other words, His personality and nature—is love (1 John 4:8). It is the reason Jesus came to earth, lived a victorious life, and then died to restore man's relationship with the Father (John 3:16). The most important decision we can ever make is to receive this gift of God.
The Lord's affection is absolute, unwavering, and sacrificial. Moreover, God's love is not subject to favoritism. He cares for the sinner as much as He does for the saint. In our human pride or our desire to be "somebody special," we may find that fact difficult to swallow. But God grants love to each person.
The Bible tells us that the rain falls on the just and the unjust, and the sun shines on the righteous and the wicked (Matt. 5:45). This means that with or without faith in God, everyone experiences certain benefits and blessings from Him. But the person who receives Jesus as Savior is in a position to reap the blessings that accompany an outpouring of love into his or her life.
The Lord's love is not based upon what we do, what we have, or what we achieve. He freely gives it to us simply because we are His creation. You cannot win or earn more of God's favor—it has nothing to do with performance. Accept and delight in that truth.
The most important response we can make is to reciprocate God's love.
John said it simply and eloquently: "We love Him because He first loved us" (1 John 4:19, NKJV). And Jesus said the first and foremost commandment was this: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind" (Matt. 22:37). The only acceptable response to God's great outpouring of love toward you is to love Him back.
We can choose to rebel. And while this doesn't affect God's nature, it will change us. Those who refuse to acknowledge and receive divine love cut themselves off from great blessing. Not only that, but such individuals typically yield to anger, hatred, and bitterness. To harden one's heart toward God is the supreme act of rebellion—in doing so, a person hurts himself far more than he hurts others. Humbly receiving God, on the other hand, brings good into one's life.
Satan constantly tries to convince us that if we follow Jesus, we will have to give up personal freedom, identity, and pleasure. But those who live apart from God's love inevitably discover their rebellion did not make them any freer. They may not go to jail, but they end up in emotional or psychological prisons—caught in addiction or trapped by feelings of resentment. The longer they live separated from the Lord's love and mercy, the less pleasure they find in life. In that situation, it is easy to become cynical, jaded, critical, and in the end, apathetic to nearly everything.
But those who embrace and reciprocate God's love enjoy inner freedom they never imagined. They develop as individuals, discovering hidden talents and abilities. They experience true delight in God's creation and know the joy of perpetual discovery.
When we choose to love and obey God, we can be sure He will guide us toward doing what will bring about the greatest fulfillment in life.
God's love is our ultimate reason to hope.
If we know with certainty that God loves us and desires good for our lives, what is there to fear? Hope in Christ is for everyone. It compels us not to remain in a state of dread, doubt, or worry but to seek transformation by the Holy Spirit's power. Trust encourages us to anticipate God's best and look for the dawning of a new day.
Our heavenly Father is generous—even extravagant—in His love. Open your heart and let the Lord shower more of His good gifts upon you. You won't regret yielding your life to Him.

A Marriage That Lasted 72 years
Nov 3, 2013
"I want to share a story about my mother and father, who were very much in love, into their nineties, and who celebrated seventy two years of marriage.
Mother married dad on the night she graduated from high school. But, it was HOW THEY LEFT this world that captured WORLD-WIDE ATTENTION in all the newspapers.
My brother Dennis and I always knew that our parents, Gordon and Norma Yeager, had a pretty unusual marriage. Other than a rare fishing trip, they DIDN'T LIKE BEING APART.
As they got up there in age, I began to worry what life would be like, if one survived, and the other didn't. I told Dennis, 'I don't think they could get along without each other.'
Meanwhile Dad, who was 94—three years older than Mom—would say, 'I have to stick around. I CAN'T GO UNTIL SHE DOES; I have to stay here for her, and SHE'D DO THE SAME.'
They went out for breakfast almost every day. One morning Dad pulled out at an intersection and apparently didn't see an oncoming car. There was a TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. Mom and Dad were rushed to the hospital in the same ambulance, clinging to life.
It was touch and go for several hours. First we thought Dad might survive, then Mom. And when nurses heard that Dad's blood pressure was falling rapidly, they rolled Mom's bed into his intensive care unit, PLACING THE BEDS, SIDE BY SIDE. I looked over, and saw that THEY WERE HOLDING HANDS. He was still hooked up to the HEART MONITOR. She was not.
At 3:38 p.m., I choked back tears as I watched Dad slip away. Even when you think you are prepared, you're never ready for the loss of a parent.
As family stood at the end of their beds, we saw something strange. 'Dad is no longer breathing … so WHY IS HIS HEART MONITOR STILL BEEPING?' we simultaneously asked the nurse.
She looked at us quizzically, then, pointed to Mom and Dad … STILL HOLDING HANDS.
'HER HEART IS BEATING THROUGH HIM,' she said, "It's being picked up on his heart monitor."
It was astonishing. Just astonishing!
Then, at 4:38 p.m., exactly one hour later, my dear mother caught up with Dad on the way to Heaven. The nurse said, 'He's such a gentleman. HE'S STANDING THERE HOLDING THE DOOR FOR HER.'
The crowning image for my brother and myself was seeing our two parents at the funeral. They were sharing the same casket. HOLDING HANDS.
Thanks for letting me share this story with you. I hope it will bring blessings to any who read it."
Donna Yeager Sheets
If YOU are not teared-up, like I am, I'm surprised.
Didn't Gordon and Norma have exactly the kind of marriage God intended for us? A total commitment to each other, with Him in the middle, right to the end.
And ... to the beginning ... of their new life in eternity.
Wishes and winks

Prayer of Praise
Oct 26, 2013
Lord, I praise You! You are marvelous. Wondrous. Glorious. I praise You for the glory of Your grace, the riches of Your mercy, the abundance of Your blessings, the depths of Your kindness, the greatness of Your power, the splendor of Your majesty, and the overwhelming generosity of Your love. I see Your goodness in every direction I turn.
I praise You for the miracles You work, for the mystery of Your ways, for all the things about You that are past finding out—You are above and beyond anything I could know, think, or ever imagine about You.
I praise You for working in my heart, for being in my day, for sustaining me each moment. I praise You for each time you made a way for me when there seemed to be none; for each time You came to me with an answer when I didn't know what to do; for each time You revealed something new about the wisdom of Your will and the goodness of Your ways.
I praise You for the unique way You made me and for the unexpected ways You use me. I praise You with a happy heart, with uplifted hands, with a voice of singing, and with a shout of joy—for You alone are the God of all my joys!

Rice Meets Syrian Foreign Minister
10:26 PM, Oct 1, 2008 • By STEPHEN F. HAYES
Two days after George W. Bush criticized Syria as a state sponsor of terror in a speech at the United Nations, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice met with Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Mouallem in New York. The meeting was first reported in the Syrian state press which noted that it took place at Rice's request. Mouallen told Al Hayat that the meeting represented a softening of the US position on Syria.
It's a fair reading. Long gone are the days of George W. Bush's "with us or against us" approach to terrorism. Rice has made it clear through her dealings with Iran and Syria that terror sponsoring states can be with us on some days and against us on others. In fact, in an interview with TWS back in May, she said this rather directly. "Syria can't decide which camp it's going to be in, you know. Maybe it's fitting that they came at the deputy foreign minister level at Annapolis, because one day they're going to be part of the solution and the next day they're going to be a part of the problem. I think, on balance, they're more part of the problem."
So do the State Department terrorism analysts, at least officially. "Iran and Syria routinely provide unique safe haven, substantial resources and guidance to terrorist organizations," they wrote in the State Sponsors of Terror Overview. "The Syrian Government continued to provide political and material support to both Hizballah and Palestinian terrorist groups. HAMAS, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PLFP), and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command (PFLP-GC), among others, base their external leadership in Damascus. The Syrian Government insists that the Damascus-based groups undertake only political and informational activities. However, in statements originating from outside Syria, many Palestinian groups claimed responsibility for anti-Israeli terrorist acts. Syria's public support for the groups varied, depending on its national interests and international pressure. In 2003, these groups lowered their public profile after Damascus announced that they had voluntarily closed their offices in Syria. In September, however, Syrian President Bashar al-Asad held a highly publicized meeting with rejectionist leaders, and a month later the rejectionist leaders participated in a meeting in Damascus with the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Gholam Ali Haddad Adel. Syria continued to permit Iran to use Damascus as a transshipment point to resupply Hizballah in Lebanon."
The new Bush Doctrine: You are either with us or against us. Or both. Whatever.
That, at least, seems to be the version of the Bush Doctrine preferred by Condoleezza Rice, who has pushed for warmer relations with Axis of Evil nations North Korea and Iran, and Iranian satellite Syria. By most accounts, President Bush still believes in the original Bush Doctrine and continues to articulate his views forcefully in meetings with members of Congress, in off-the-record sessions with journalists and sessions with foreign dignitaries.
With less than four months left in his term, the question of this: Is the president in charge of his foreign policy or has he completely handed it off to his Secretary of Stae?

Transgender derby player: '100 years ago, I'd have been locked up'
EUGENE, Ore. - AJ "PacN'Man" Spencer said the idea of a woman who wanted to be a man joining the all men's roller derby team in Lane County didn't sit well with everyone on the bench at first.
"It was awkward at first," said Spencer. "I didn't have a binder yet, so I still had visible breasts."
AJ Spencer, a student at Lane Community College, is the first transgender member of the men's roller derby team the Lane County Concussion.
His derby name is PacN'Man.
"Packing is a term used for wearing a prosthetic penis," said Spencer. "And so, it's not quite as loud as, 'I am mighty tranny, hear me roar,' but just a little something."
When Spencer asked to join the team this past summer, he hadn't started hormone therapy to become a man yet.
"Just 100 years ago, I'd have been locked up," he said.
"But I'm lucky enough to live in a time and an environment where it's alright for me to approach a sports team and say, 'Hey, I'm transgender, I'd like to play, I'm not on hormones yet, and I don't know when I'll be but come let me play,'" said Spencer at Lane County Concussion's season opener against The Portland Honey Badgers in March. "And they did."
Now about six months into hormone therapy, Spencer said some of the team member's initial reservations have worn off alongside his physical transformation.
"They're raising me to be the man I'm going be," said Spencer.
"So far, I'm getting facial hair — just a little bit — enough that I can feel while I shave," he said. "I've had time to bulk up a bit, work the muscles, learn the skills."
Lane County Concussion lost to the Honey Badgers by a landslide, but Spencer said his first competitive bout was a personal win.
"It feels good," said Spencer. "This was the first bout where I stepped up as a jammer and filled that role."
When KVAL News asked Spencer if he thought he was an inspirational sports figure, he said, "I want to be the kind of person that some chubby little computer nerd like I was can look up to and say, wow, that's an option, that's possible."
Lane County Concussion will face two out of state teams Saturday at The Big O Tournament at the Lane Events Center.
Their first bout is at 12:15 against Capital City from Boise, Idaho. Tickets at the door are $15.

5'11 195 lbs. of solid speed and muscle is what Percy is made of. This man has been an underrated freak in the weight room since he was in college at the University of Florida. His numbers in the weight room are unheard of and this is tributed to the Percy Harvin workout.
I heard a rumor through the UF weight room that in college he could bench press 405 lbs. and squat over 550 lbs. Now for a runningback/receiver in college these are crazy numbers in the weight room. Think of the damage that you could do if you were lifting like this before your next season. The trick is all about the workout…
Here's a sample format he exact workout Percy followed at UF
Speed Drill
-Wall Speed Drills
-Classic Speed Drills
-Resistive Runs
Prehab Stations
-Gute Med
-Squat Progression
Strength Routine
-Glute-Ham Raise
-Calf Raise
Now you have his leg workout but sometimes it takes a little more. Maybe you need a well balanced program that will attack every aspect of your game as an explosive athlete. Maybe it might be you need motivation and I got just the trick right here…
Watch an explosive training program and motivation here…

NEWPORT, VT - "Now heaven has a new leader of the band," is what the family of Richard "Dick" Croudis said in an e-mail sent to the Newport Rotary Club Monday.
Croudis, the former band director at the Newport City High School and North Country Union High School, passed away Saturday morning. He was 94.
Croudis, a veteran of World War II, was highly involved in the Northeastern Rotary Music Festival for 30 years. That festival is held every March at North Country Union High School.Â
"He was an integral part of making the festival what it is today," said Bill Gardyne, director of the Northeastern Rotary Music Festival. "He did a lot of great things in his lifetime."
Even after his retirement from teaching music, Croudis gave individual music lessons at Newport City Elementary School. According to Gardyne, Croudis gave those lessons well into his 80s.
Reading from an e-mail from the family, Gardyne said, "Dick was always very upbeat, and right up to the very end he was very upbeat."
Croudis was a very important part of Rotary, Gardyne said. He was such a vital part, the Newport Rotary Club created the Croudis Music Scholarship. Gardyne estimated that over the years more than $100,000 has been given out.
"He taught thousand of kids over the years," said Gardyne. "For a lot of them, he left a lasting impression. He was a true gentlemen and one of the finest men I have ever known in my lifetime."
During his time in Rotary, Croudis served as president and music festival chair.
The community loved Croudis so much that it it put on a performance dedicated to him: Second Summer Productions Presents A Tribute to Mr. Richard "Dick" Croudis ~ His Music. It featured many music pieces, some written by Croudis.
Local residents, many of whom were Croudis' former students, came together for one last time. It also featured the Newport Concert Band and a tribute chorus.
"He was a man of music," said Tim Daley of Second Summer Productions. "I was happy to be able to give him that tribute."
"The community was fortunate to have him here for such a long time," said Daley. "He was a wonderful man."
Daley said Croudis never waved his talents in front of others.
Newport Rotary President Doug Spates called Croudis an "incredible man, incredible musician and great friend."
"He was Mr. Music with the Newport Rotary Club," said Spates. "He was instrumental in everything we did and still do as it relates to music. He was such a gentleman and will be extremely missed by the Rotary Club."
According to the e-mail, Croudis will be buried with his wife, Lillian, and his brothers in Yarmouth, Maine. A memorial service for the Newport area is being planned for Sat., Nov. 19, at the United Church of Newport.

Bishop pleads for peace in Algeria
Catholic World News - March 21, 2014
A French-born bishop who ministers in Algeria, a nation that is 99% Muslim, has written a letter to the residents of the historic M'zab Valley pleading for an end to strife between Arabs and Berbers.
"We, the small Christian community of M'zab, suffer with all of you," said Bishop Claude Rault of Laghouat. "We are there … to be artisans of peace and of reconciliation."
"Peace is a gift from God," he added. "With all our heart, every day we pray to the Only and Merciful God, that he sow peace in hearts and in communities."

"I paint within the rich tradition of landscape painting and the many ways in which environments are experienced and expressed. I have found that working in series offers me the opportunity to explore an image/idea both individually and within a group of related works. A painting of an image on its own has a certain intimacy, but placed in proximity with other related paintings it becomes an integral part of a new form, new language, new identity, new meaning.
Painted streetlights are transformed into artificial moons in a micro cosmos leaving pools of concentrated light on roads and foliage. The invert paintings reverse night, not into day, but into a strange and alien universe where ordinary streetlights are converted into glowing blue planets. The grid of fifty contrail paintings explores the abstract in contemporary landscape: artificial, geometric clouds that create a variety of transitory graffiti.
The "Collection/Re-Collection" project recreates and analyses in paint the historic artifacts that my amateur archeologist father spent years collecting and displaying in our home. It is both a recollection of him and an extended still life giving new life to the objects.
Defining landscape in all its manifestations provides a refreshing opportunity for discovery, exploration and interpretation of both the historical context of the genre and my personal sense of place and belonging."

"My work is based in an eclectic aesthetic. My paintings extract elements from the high and low of visual culture. This culture and crush of images is in constant flux. My paintings hold no single allegiance, but are constantly shifting from one form of representation to another. The paintings function as sources of both inductive and deductive image making processes. In our day-to-day life, one is seldom afforded the time to comprehend what one is viewing under the barrage of images produced by humankind. I try to grasp a single moment, a glance, a small epiphany. The paintings are haptic documents of these remnants of communication as each one follows its trajectory."

"I tell stories about women, inspired by paintings, photographs, magazines, posters, YouTube clips, literature, performance and plays. My paintings are like episodes in an unconventional romantic comedy with myself cast as the heroine, writer and director. The scenes depict my fantasies and secret desires. They explore the act of watching and being watched and blur fiction with reality.
The paintings are constructed like Victorian photocollages. Placed in a new space, the appropriated images are transformed. The settings are skewed, tipped and condensed. The linear perspective of in-person observation is abandoned.
My work mythologizes and deconstructs mediated images of women. I am interested in how femininity is portrayed. The historical, folkloric, and contemporary female characters of my paintings act as both subject and viewer. My work has no heroines or victims. Rather, it indulges in the gratuitous pleasures of youth, beauty, sex, and fantasy.

"I make paintings and drawings of the contemporary American landscape. My recent works are inspired by the landscape around Knoxville, Tennessee. Living in Knoxville I am constantly struck by the contrast between the built environment, with its generic cookie-cutter architecture, and the intensity of nature in this region. This landscape is very much alive—vines seem to grow and crawl as you look at them; they swallow up trees, cling to telephone poles, and dangle from power lines. In my recent paintings I try to capture this. I start by making drawings based on photographs I take, and I also work from memory. My paint application varies drastically within a piece—transparent spaces abut flat areas of color and sections of molded and carved paint. These shifts in the surface of the painting echo the changes to the landscape that occur over time. Abstraction comingles with namable imagery, gaining meaning in context. In the world of my pictures, everything is amplified and everyday views become strange; light feels as substantial as a mountain or a telephone pole, as though the bright city and its commercial strips have infused the landscape with alien forms."

My Beauty Diary Sweet Teatime Mini Set Review
A friend of mine recently gifted me with the May Beauty Diary Sweet Teatime Mini Set.
Anything that's mini and involves tea and beauty, I'm so in like Flynn!
Let's take a look!
This set comes in a cute ribbon decorated box with a flip lid. Inside you'll find two trial size products from the My Beauty Sweet Tea Time Collection plus two sheet masks.
You get:
- Mini My Beauty Diary Strawberry Yogurt Cleanser (Click here for review)
- Mini My Beauty Diary Vanilla Souffle Face Scrub
- My Beauty Diary Earl Grey Tea & Macaroon Facial Sheet Mask
- My Beauty Diary Chocolate Truffle Sheet Mask
I'll be reviewing the Chocolate Truffle and Earl Grey Tea Sheet Masks in a post later this month as I purchased full sizes boxes of these a while ago. I'll also review the Vanilla Souffle Face Scrub in a later post as it deserves a review on it's own since it's a rather fun product!
I think the set is rather darling and I've seen it on Evil-Bay for fairly cheap. It is limited edition and it's been out a while so you might want to have a peek around to see if you can locate one if you're wanting it before it's gone.
It's an excellent introduction to My Beauty Diary which is a Taiwanese brand puts out a large selection of fun Facial Sheet Masks!
Loves this!
Disclaimer: This was a gift from a friend.

Right guys,
Today has got me thinking.
When I first moved where I live now (a very quiet village surrounded by fields - the majority used arable/livestock... not for horses sadly haha) I had the opportunity to rent and 11 acre field with just one other woman who I barely saw (she has a veteran that she just does the basics for) I loved it, it was practically my field and I could do what I wanted when I wanted, I never craved horsey friends, as I had my horse as a friend. Now and then my non horsey but very animally in general friends would visit and we'd have a picnic, it was lovely.
Then in summer 2011 the YO (an elderly "farmer" - not that he tends his land any more - who literally has nothing to do with the field other than be the owner of it... which I like, as I can put fences up Etc I sort everything for my self and nobody would interfere) let 2 more people come rent part of the field.
I thought "that's okay, what's a few more horses?" 7 more horses to be precise, 3 of them were wild-caught foals at the time too! Okay, no biggy, although I like my own space, I can deal with a couple more people. But then all their family are here all the time, and one family shouts all the time. The women are friends from before they came to the field, but tend to b*tch about each other behind their backs and drag me into it. There's one guy, and he's an opinionated old fart. In fact, they're all very opinionated, and if it's not their way, they're not keen on the idea. They think they know NH methods (I do a bit of NH stuff myself, just basic, common sense stuff), well, their methods are hilarious to watch.
Not only this, my once open 10 acres and 1 acre paddock are now split up and I have 2 acres (they also picked the best bits and I got left with the bit at the entrance everyone drives on and I get left with tire-scarred land! Grr - (they also complain at me when my horses crowd the gate - I saw crowd, I have 2 - and they can't get in. Well, move them or keep your car on the drive, it's what the drive is there for - to drive on, rather than driving on my field!)
One of the ladies and her stuck up witch of a daughter have the nerve to complain about my youngster being naughty. Yes, she has a mad 3-year-old funny 5 mins where she bolts around the field like a nutter, it's what she does, I'd rather her do it then rather than when I'm riding! And they have some nerve! They have:
- A fat, mean tempered, lazy, naught ex polo pony veteran that they can't ride because she's either not sound or is just in a bad mood and will refuse to work
- A yearling that is mad as sin (she was one of the wild-caughts) and still acts wild - and they laugh when she does naughty stuff
- A 7 y/o pony gelding who is very green, who they bought in the mean time before their yearling is ready to start!
Also, where I used to canter up the 11 acres out of the top gate onto the trails, they have put a zillion electric fences and those wirey little elastic gates where if you're not careful, you get zapped, so now I can't just gallop through the open field, I have to go to one gate, undo, go through, redo (my horse is too tall for me to do it from her back too!)
The other lady I don't mind too much, but she is still opinionated.
So, today, my Mum tells me that the gentleman across the street has a small paddock that he has offered me first refusal to rent, and I know the farmer with the ajoining field and I think he'd let me rent that too, so I could combine them and have a similar size to what I have right now, maybe just a tad more expensive.
But then I though "Will I get lonely!?" Then I though "You were never happier than when you were on your own, do it!"
Anyone have any advice / similar stories?
Sorry for the rant guys, just needed to let a year and a half's worth of ranting out :p

•Open since: July•Capacity: The restaurant seats about 140. •Location: Fajitas is located across the street from the Mall of Georgia, in the parking lot of a shopping center anchored by Ross and Marshalls. It shares a building with Ted's Montana Grill and Subway. •Hours: The restaurant is open from 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday. •Atmosphere: This bright Mexican restaurant is full of color. Tables are matched with neon chairs in blue, red, yellow, orange and pink. Red and orange walls are decorated with hanging Mexican handicrafts, including baskets and pottery. Other walls are decorated with frescos of desert scenes. Upside down tin Corona buckets are transformed into lanterns hanging above the booths. A large bar, decked out in blue Christmas lights and neon Corona signs, serves up a huge variety of top-shelf tequilas. The decor lends a festive ambience to the restaurant, which is heightened on Thursdays, when a live mariachi band plays music in the restaurant. •The food: Fajitas serves a blend of authentic Mexican dishes and Tex-Mex favorites. The most popular choice, as you might guess, is the fajitas, especially the Flaming Tequila Fajitas, served with seasoned steak, chicken and shrimp and topped with a shot of gold tequila, said owner Paris Retana. Other popular items include La Changa Loca chimichangas - flour tortillas rolled with chicken or shredded beef, lightly fried, and topped with cheese dip - as well as the Mexico City Chile Poblano, a pepper hand-stuffed with cheese or beef, dipped in egg batter, deep fried and covered with ranchero sauce. For the adventurous eater, there's the Monster Burrito, an 18-inch giant stuffed with ground beef or chicken, beans and rice and covered with melted cheese and the restaurant's special sauce. Anyone who can finish the entire burrito gets a complimentary dessert of sopapillas, Retana said. The menu also includes enchiladas, tacos, flautas, quesadillas, carne asada and carnitas. All the salsas and pico de gallo are made fresh each day. •Beverages: The restaurant serves Coke products, as well as a selection of Hispanic and domestic beers, wines and sangria. But the owners are most proud of the bar's tequila offerings, which are served in snifters or in margaritas. •Desserts: Choices include caramel flan, sopapillas and churros, as well as fried ice cream, brownie sundaes and strawberry shortcake.•Things you might not know: Fajitas has two other locations, in Gainesville and Cumming. The small chain focuses on good food and quality customer service, said restaurant owner Retana. Eventually, the chain will likely expand. "We're not a huge chain, like On the Border or Don Pablo's. But we're looking forward to being a bigger corporation," Retana said. The restaurant has a to-go counter at the bar and offers delivery for $20-minimum orders within in a 2-mile radius. A menu of party platters is also available. The Post profiles a different area restaurant each week. If you have a recommendation for us to check out, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. n Fajitas Flameadas: Marinated steak or chicken strips served with a side of rice, refried beans, lettuce, sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo and a choice of corn or flour tortillas ($10.85).•Shrimp a la Veracruzana: Sauteed shrimp, bell peppers, onions and tomatoes cooked in Veracruz sauce with olives and spices. Served with rice, lettuce, guacamole and sour cream ($11.99).•Quesadilla Rellena: A grilled flour tortilla stuffed with cheese, shredded beef, pico de gallo and refried beans. Served with lettuce, guacamole, tomatoes and sour cream ($6.75).•Mexicali Chicken Salad: Crispy chicken tenders served on a bed of fresh salad greens, topped with chopped celery, scallions, roasted almonds, apple slices and honey mustard dressing ($7.49).

AATCC Test Method 22-2014
Developed in 1941 by AATCC Committee RA63
1. Purpose and Scope
1.1 This test method is applicable to any textile fabric, which may or may not have been given a water-repellent finish. It measures the resistance of fabrics to wetting by water. It is especially suitable for measuring the water-repellent efficacy of finishes applied to fabrics.
2. Principle
2.1 Water sprayed against the taut surface of a test specimen under controlled conditions produces a wetted pattern whose size depends on the relative repellency of the fabric. Evaluation is accomplished by comparing the wetted pattern with pictures on a standard chart.

Splash into summer
Camps can be fun, learning experience for kids
Soon the final school bell of the year will ring, leaving students and parents looking for ways to make this summer a busy, happy and safe one.

By DANA PIZZUTOPrice
Have you ever been so "shocked and in awe" that it took you three verses of the National Anthem to recognize the "Star Spangled Banner"? Remember the "Shock and awe scenario" when the United States invaded Iraq? That is what I personally experienced at an elementary school in Emery County last May. A young kindergartner stood in front of the crowd and dedicated the national anthem to a local National Guardsman who recently returned from Iraq. No one stood up.
I went into panic mode and searched my mind repeatedly and studied the words and listened to the tune..." Yes, it is the Star Spangled Banner!" I had finally figured it out at the end of the song that this was America's national anthem and no one stood. At the conclusion of this beautiful patriotic and moving song I immediately told my five and a half year old granddaughter to stand up and she and I stood and applauded. Still, no one else stood.
I was born to goodly parents and raised in Carbon County. My father had enlisted and fought vigilantly and bravely in World War II in the Navy Seabees which ultimately cost him his life. He had done this to protect our freedom, privilege and opportunity to stand and put our right hand over our hearts while this song was being sung. He had even lived in Emery County during his young life and still no one stood up as the National Anthem was sung that day.
I have traveled, lived and worked all over many parts of this global environment in which we now live. I have always been so relieved and thankful to once again step foot on good ole' American soil and have a hot dog! "What's more American than hot dogs...?"
I am a retired telecommunications engineer and was living in Plano, Texas on 9-11. I had three pending fiber optic jobs being installed next door to the World Trade Center in downtown Manhattan that day. My friends, my installers, my crew were face to face with the terror and we worked 24/7 to reinstate the data circuits to Wall Street as well as many other places. And still no stood up that day.
Dumbstruck? Appalled? Shocked? In awe at the ignorance or disrespect of our national anthem being sung that day? Yes! What about the teachers, the parents, the siblings of the elementary school age children? There were plenty of us there. Why didn't someone stand up? Why didn't someone remind us to stand up? Do we know in our hearts and minds that we need to stand up and pay respect while our national anthem is being sung? Do we even need to be told to stand up?
I would just like to say and remind each of us to please be respectful and stand up and pay our respects to our flag, our country, our freedom, and to those brave men and women, who may be still sacrificing and laying down their own lives to protect our freedoms to do so this day.

Matt Vensel Talks Ravens Football
October 15, 2012 2:13 PM
Matt Vensel of the Baltimore Sun joins Ken Weinman & Mark Zinno to talk Ravens football. He explained that the injuries to Lardarius Webb and Ray Lewis that occurred Sunday will not set back the team in their playoff hunt. He still believes Baltimore is a lock to be in the playoffs with at least 10 wins. He also gave an update on the status of Terrell Suggs and when Baltimore fans will see him in uniform and explained that the offense will most likely need to step up if the Ravens plan to continue being successful.

Family Trips to Big Sur, California
Big Sur is arguably the most iconic stretch of coastline in America. It's been filmed, videoed, photographed, and documented in writing so often over the last century that even those who've never set foot in Northern California feel they know it. Yet as magnificent as the images and words are, as revered as the artists who created them remain, those works pale in comparison to being there. To stand on the wind-sculpted cliffs looking out over a sky and sea on fire in the setting sun, or to hear the pulsing roar of the surf, is to experience Big Sur's coastline as no portrait permits. Highway 1 is no less iconic, a singular string of isolated beaches and trails that climb through redwoods to panoramic overlooks and a quartet of Big Sur state parks, each with its own charm. Andrew Molera State Park draws families, surfers, and birders. Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park thrills scuba divers, and you can often spot wildlife from Garrapata State Park Beach. Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park offers novices a fine trail. Spend enough time on this coastline and you may just be inspired to photograph, paint, or write about it yourself.

US-Mexico Border Energy Forum - San Antonio
Join us for our twentieth anniversary! Border Energy Forum XX will take place November 6 - 8, 2013 at the Embassy Suites San Antonio Riverwalk-Downtown. We are especially looking forward to this year's Forum in San Antonio, right at the heart of the Eagle Ford Shale discussion.
More than ever, the potential of clean energy like natural gas and renewables, combined with traditional oil production, in the ten border states is boundless.
The Border Energy Forum is a collaborative effort among the 10 border states along the US / Mexico border. The original idea for the Forum was to gather 50 people each from the United States and Mexico once a year to exchange information about the best ways to produce and consume energy in our fast-growing region, forge new partnerships and help each other work together on our twin goals of economic development and environmental protection. ...more

Dwayne Johnson stealthily became one of Hollywood's most bankable leading men, and he hopes to break the bank once again with "Hercules."
The first trailer for the latest mythological adaptation was unveiled today (via "The Hollywood Reporter"), focusing on the truth behind the legend, as the narration goes.
The "Fast & Furious" franchise star easily steps into the title role as a man stronger than anyone should possibly be.
Though he's more than brave enough to take on a lion – check out the headwear he's sporting – the Artist Formerly Known as "The Rock" faces an even greater danger in Amphiaraus (Ian McShane).
That said, he still has to take on an enormous tusked boar and a swamp creature that might just be the Hydra, so Hercules never really gets a fair shake.
Rufus Sewell, Joseph Fiennes ("American Horror Story") and John Hurt also star in the film, which was directed by Brett Ratner ("Tower Heist," "Red Dragon").
"Hercules" hits theaters on July 25. What did you think of the trailer? Weigh in below!

My Discussions
My Email Digests
So now that we're in the home stretch, I went in 2.5 weeks ago for my final Ultrasound to confirm baby's head down (she is) and her growth (weighed in at 5lbs 9oz), and a nurse asked if I was having any contractions and said I was 1 week ahead of what I've been tracking myself as being. My Due date is Aug 29th, but the Dr is going out of town the weekend before and didn't want to risk me going into labor while he was gone and having to have someone I'm not familiar with delivering the baby, plus the whole reason for the C-sec is due to a bad back, so he doesn't want to risk me going into labor. By my calculations, I'm 36wks THIS week, so I'll only be 38 wks when he wants to do the C-section. I trust him, and I would rather have him than someone I meet for the first time the day of delivery, but just wondering, has this happened to anyone else, and if so, were your babies' lungs developed enough to not have to stay in the NICU? My LO has been good and healthy and strong throughout the pregnancy, no issues, no scares, and I asked point blank what about possibility of fluid in her lungs? He said he's not worried about it because I've taken good care of the both of us throughout the entire pregnancy and we're both very strong. Makes me feel good, but still concerned with them telling me all the sudden I'm a week ahead of what I've been tracking myself as being? Thoughts? Thanks!View Thread

September 2015
Excellent value food tour of food from the three main ethnic groups in Malaysia - Malay, Chinese and Indian. Very much off the beaten track and all the better for it. We visited places and tasted foods which we would not have done otherwise. Farah was an excellent, informative and enthusiastic guide.
As an added bonus we were dropped off at out hotel back in central KL
July 2015
A great experience , a great way of sampling the range of cuisines available in KL . It was also brilliant to get dropped off back at our hotel after an outstanding evening out .
May 2015
Charles was awesome. Very friendly, knew all the cool places and has such a repore with the local chefs we can walk into their kitchen and watch the food be prepared. Overall a very good evening.

Charles as an excellent guide who stuffed us with food until our eyes popped out!! Charles gave us plenty of information about the food we ate and gave us insight into the daily life and cultural workings in malaysia. Fabulous experience!
December 2014
Stunning trip - thank you thank you thank you. The food was just stunning. This was clearly the best part of our trip to KL

August 2014
This tour is a wonderful introduction to Malaysian food. Farah was our guide and she did a great job in telling us about the food and customs of the different ethnic meals we sampled.We began with a Malay meal at a popular Malay hawkers covered eating place. We tried food that we would never have considered tasting. It was delicious. From there by car to a semi covered popular Chinese eating place. A meal tasting a variety of their favourite dishes. Finally to a large And busy Indian hawkers eatery for a taste of their curries and naan bread. All the food was tasty. We loved this tour and would recommend it as a must-do.
June 2014
Fantastic tour really enjoyed it. Our guide was very good she spoke very good English. We got to try lots of local food and drink and it made a change to get out of the Tourist area. Would recommend for any one visiting KL who love there food. If you like nice restaurants then this isn't for you.
April 2014
This is a must do trip, it was superb. We were lucky to have Charles as our guide and Rubin drove us around in a spacious and very clean mini bus. Accompanied by two Australians and two Canadaians this was a very like minded group. They were great fun and contributed to the enjoyment level immensley. The tour was to finish at 10pm, we were still eating at 11.20pm. I think we would have still been at it now had it not been for a cruel rainstorm that interupted our enjoyment. To cap a perfect evening, Charles and Rubin dropped us all off at our hotel doors.
February 2014
Great excursion. Charlie is a character and a great host. Just be aware the meeting point is out of KL Central, about 30mins by rail.

University of Leeds Publishes Results Acquired With Waters SYNAPT High
Definition MS System
MILFORD, Mass. and LEEDS, England, Dec. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Waters Corporation (NYSE: WAT) announced today that the University of Leeds' Astbury Centre for Structural Molecular Biology has published the results of protein research conducted with its newly-acquired Waters(R) SYNAPT High Definition MS(TM) (HDMS) System in the Journal of the American Society of Mass Spectrometry (JASMS).
The SYNAPT(R) HDMS System is being used by the Ashcroft Laboratory to study the function of biological molecules. In an article appearing in the December 2007 issue of the JASMS, researchers at Leeds describe the successful separation and analysis of various folded forms of the proteins cytochrome c and beta-2-microglobulin, an achievement the Ashcroft Laboratory hopes will lead to a more complete understanding of the biological processes responsible for amyloid fibril formation, bacterial pilus aggregation and virus capsid assembly -- all associated with debilitating diseases.
Proteins are carefully folded, three-dimensional long-chain molecules
assembled by the human body. When properly folded they regulate normal
bodily functions. Several high profile diseases, including Alzheimer's,
Creuzfeldt- Jakob's, and Parkinson's, can develop when certain proteins
normally folded into a particular shape become misfolded, causing a chain
of events that can lead to self-aggregation and amyloid fibril formation.
Dr. Alison Ashcroft and her colleague Prof. Sheena Radford at the
University of Leeds are studying one such protein, beta-2-microglobulin, to
try to understand how it forms such fibrils which

Hi Everyone
I have tried doing Lipotrim and lost 2 stone before but I started my second atempt 2 weeks ago and although I lost 10lbs in 2 weeks is great I could feel myself on the verge of depression again. I feel the main problem is that all of my friends are social people who like going out and having fun. Unfortunately for me most of my friends are naturally skinny and can eat and drink what they like without gaining a thing. I have so mnay nights out birthdays, days out planned that going back on Lipotrim is now proving impossible and I cannot work around it without acting like a social recluse. Each day I set out to be strict and then something crops up that I cannot avoid meaning I have cheated on almost every day. What I have been doing though is couting all of my calories on my fitness pal and ensuring I only eat a small amount of the things I like or chose a healthy option. With all these cheats included I am absolutely delighted to say that I continue to lose weight. Yesterday I had half a muffin and a skinny latte as well as some jaffa cakes and some popcorn and due to my tiny portions of each my overall calories for the day incuding 2 healthy meals measured out was just under 1200. I know it seems stupid as everyone has always said you need to consume less than you burn but something has just sort of clicked in my head and I realise that i do not need to deprive myself anymore or make a scene about being on diet. It is a simple case of either ordering a lower calorie option or having something naughty but having just a few bites. Half of the muffin I had yesterday was 200 calories as apposed to the 400 I would have eaten if I had the whoe thing as usual. Granted I wont lose up to a stone a month as per Lipotrim but looking at the scales and having investigated further it would appear that as long as I stick to around 1200 calories a day nothing is off limits and therefore I am on a new mission to gain control over portion size. I have now left the miserable world of Lipotrim and I am on a new adventure of calories counting. I have now realised that it is far less miserable to have a smaller portion than to deprive myself of everything I love. Here goes to a new way of thinking. Hopefully this is a diet I will be able to stick to )) Out of interest how many calories does everyone else on here eat a day?

M Rackless Carry Systems for Lightweight Bikepacking

Article Summary:
The system of frame bag, seat pack, and backpack has proven itself functional, highly adaptable, and lightweight. A frame bag places heavier items low and in the center of the bike for better handling, and items like maps and food close at hand for easy access while riding. Seat bags have evolved rapidly since Boatman's original, with the most common contemporary incarnations being highly adaptable. A seatbag can carry a large percentage of the kit for less technical sections, thus removing weight from the pack and thus stress from the butt and feet. A lightweight, small, stable backpack can then take more of that weight and bulk back for technical sections, when having a lighter bike makes riding easier, safer, and more enjoyable. There is a good reason why variations of this rig have become almost universal amongst discerning bikepackers. A lot of folks add a handlebar harness for yet more gear. I've never seen the need for so much stuff, hate having weight on my bars, and thus don't use them.
Variations of this system apply to the three types of bikepacking outlined in the introductory article. Dirt touring favors more weight on the bike and less on the back, and places fewer demands on the pack as far as stability and compression are concerned. The last photo in the introductory article shows Chris Plesko's Tour Divide setup, which used a very light backpack only when lots of food and water needed to be carried. Under comparable, non-technical circumstances, heavy items like food can be placed in the seat and frame bags, with clothing and sleeping gear in the backpack. For technical riding, the reverse can be effective. For hellbiking and winter riding, a rear rack might be efficacious. Both of the seat bags tested for this article max out at 800 cubic inches, a generous but not munificent volume. Lots of insulation, foam sleeping mats, and weird shaped things like packrafts are better carried on rear racks.

It was sold as an "HP spare," but take off the packaging, and you end up with Samsung MZ7PD256HCGM. I understand it uses different firmware than a real 840 EVO, but I haven't tested performance yet.
It was sold as an "HP spare," but take off the packaging, and you end up with Samsung MZ7PD256HCGM. It does not have Samsung firmware, Crystalmark says it's much slower than a real 840 from Samsung. Not a smart place to save a few bucks. Still faster than mechanical though.
Greased lighting fast and comes with a 5 year warranty. Enough said.
Supafast... Bought back in 2013 which is why the high price. Since then I've only written 1.1TB lol at this rate it will last even after I die.
This was the closest I could find to the part I got, an HP Spare. I think they're replacement drives for HP laptops, but if you take off the mounting hardware, you end up with a Samsung MZ7PD256HCGM, Samsung parts but no Samsung controller software. I saved a few bucks but the performance isn't what you'd expect from a "real" EVO or PRO SSD from Samsung.
