I enjoy fishing, gardening, birds, wildlife, flowers and just being outdoors. I received a digital camera for Christmas; a Sony Cyber shot DSC P-73, and decided to start taking it outside with me when I walk around the yard or in the woods. I have had fun with it so far. My husband has since upgraded my digital camera to a Sony Cyber Shot DSC-H2 to allow me to take better photos with more precision. I am in love with digital photography now and I am hooked beyond the returning point! I have passed the Cyber shot DSC P-73 to my husband Robert to take photos while fishing. Thank you for looking at my photos and I hope you enjoy them. Please e-mail me with any comments or pointers you may have on improving my photos. Take care, God Bless and enjoy the outdoors around you. It is a fascinating place. Create your own visitor map!

I read two fabulous books recently - Rebellious Heart by Jody Hedlund and The Convenient Groom by Denise Hunter - that I'm not only recommending, but I'm giving away a free, e-version of one of them.
To enter the giveaway, all you need to do is leave a comment to this post. The giveaway will close Monday, December 16th at midnight (MST). I'll randomly choose one commenter to receive the book of her choice and announce the winner here on Wednesday, December 18th.
What It's About: In 1763 Massachusetts, Susanna Smith has grown up with everything she's ever wanted, except one thing: an education. Because she's a female, higher learning has been closed to her, but her quick mind and quicker tongue never back down from a challenge. She's determined to put her status to good use, reaching out to the poor and deprived. And she knows when she marries well, she will be able to continue her work with the less fortunate.
Ben Ross grew up a farmer's son and has nothing to his name but his Harvard education. A poor country lawyer, he doesn't see how he'll be able to fulfill his promise to make his father proud of him. When family friends introduce him to the Smith family, he's drawn to quick-witted Susanna but knows her family expects her to marry well. When Susanna's decision to help an innocent woman no matter the cost crosses with Ben's growing disillusionment with their British rulers, the two find themselves bound together in what quickly becomes a very dangerous fight for justice.
My Thoughts: I loved the fast-pace of this story and the mystery and intrigue of both the plot and the time period. The romance between Ben and Susanna is satisfying and sweet - and I loved learning the author based this story on John and Abigail Adams' love story.
What It's About: Dr. Kate has it all-a radio talk show, a nationally-syndicated column, and a publisher who is paying for a lavish wedding to coincide with the release of her first book, Finding Mr. Right-For-You. But when her fiance jilts her the morning of the wedding, her life begins to crash around her. Who, after all, would want a relationship book by a counselor who can't even hold her own engagement together?
When Lucas Wright realizes what has happened, he offers to marry Kate and save her public image. Kate's heart-and her pride-have been deeply wounded. Are Lucas's handsome smile and utter devotion enough to convince her that her marriage is more than she had ever expected?
My Thoughts: This is the first book from this author that I've read - and I absolutely loved it! And while this isn't my go-to genre, I thoroughly enjoyed the contemporary setting and time period. I'm also a big fan of marriage-of-convenience stories and this was no exception. I liked the premise and the great romance, but also the hurdles both characters had to overcome.

The Wild and Scenic Owyhee River is described in many ways; Grand Canyon of Oregon, the loneliest river in the U.S., bizarrely beautiful, and more. These descriptions are usually delivered with a reverence reserved for places that are always on the "must do list" but rarely actually done. Located in the remote southeast corner of the state, the Owyhee River is almost unmatched in its remoteness and desert beauty. The river travels through magnificent desert canyons with walls towering over a thousand feet overhead and is home to a wide array of wildlife and birds. The area is rich in cultural history with Native American petroglyphs up to 9,000 years old and abandoned ranches from a far more recent time. The Owyhee's canyon is also home to beautiful side hikes, big sandy beaches, and riverside hot springs (oh yeah!).
We offer the class IV-V Middle, the class III Lower Owyhee, and our Lower Inflatable Kayaking Expeditions. Both rafting trips run April through early June and may be combined to create a longer trip. The inflatable Kayaking trip is run in June and Early July. Please give us a call if you have any questions or would like help deciding which trip is best suited for your group.
Our 4 day middle Owyhee rafting trip was canceled due to low water, but we were offered a 5 day rafting trip on the lower Owyhee at the same price. We immediately said yes and it was an awesome trip. Only the two of us made the switch so we had a smaller, more fun raft and two guides to ourselves. Orea and Cooper were excellent rafters and great guides. The scenery was outstanding and the food was great. Best rafting trip ever!
The trip was great, the canyon was STUNNING, the company was warm and friendly and you, Mike and Cooper were amazing.
You were all great! I couldn\'t have had a better crew of guides and cooks for my first raft adventure. Thanks so much.

He could have come off the DL today, does anyone know when he will actually be back?

Aug 5 Kent (oblique) may be ready to return as early as Monday, reports the team's official site.
Recommendation: "He said he feels like he's ready to go. He's been talking about [returning] the last couple of days. If it's not by Monday, he'll probably come in the office with a shotgun, and it won't be a casual conversation" said manager Grady Little. It appears safe to activate Kent for the upcoming fantasy week.

Friday, August 4, 2006
Update: Kent (oblique) is now unlikely to return this weekend as he still feels pain when performing normal daily functions, reports the team's official site.
Recommendation: It's been a full month (July 3) since Kent originally suffered the injury. He was finally placed on the disabled list on July 18 and while he was eiligible to be activated on Wednesday (August 2), it's likely he'll be out at least another week or more.

Where do you get a GOOD shifter holder to fit a stem? Or top tube.
I am thinking about taking off my bar end shifters and moving to "tube" shifters.
Take a set of down tube shifters and place them on the top tube.
FYI: I am having trouble getting a set of 'take offs' from Kelly so I have not tried that approach
AND, I want to dump my drop bar and stick with click/friction shifters(exp -Shamino 600)

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

The city of Indianapolis plans to replace hundreds of its municipal vehicles with electric or plug-in hybrids over the next two years.
The first Chevrolet Volt has come to Bloomington, but not because General Motors is selling the car in Indiana.

Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich (Head of Audi Motorsport): "The fans experienced a really thrilling DTM season opener. The new DRS wing flap and the option tires produced the desired effect. We saw a wide variety of strategies, tough duels and brilliant overtaking maneuvers. All three manufacturers are close together. Obviously, the race didn't go the way we'd have liked it to. We want to change that at Brands Hatch in two weeks from now."
Dieter Gass (Head of DTM): "That was a disappointing season opener for Audi. None of our cars made it without any incidents. Particularly frustrating – and a shame – was the fact that we didn't call Timo (Scheider) into the pits right on the first lap of the safety car, which deprived him of a possible podium finish. That he was able to recover from 18th all the way to sixth place by achieving strong lap times shows that more would have been possible today."
Timo Scheider (AUTO TEST Audi RS 5 DTM), 6th place
"I had a good start. Due to the tire situation Augusto (Farfus) and I were in agreement: We were going to use the opportunity to drive away from the field. When the DRS was active he overtook me. Afterward, I wanted to use the DRS but then the safety car period came and we didn't make the right decision in terms of timing the pit stop. Decisions like these are made within fractions of a second. We could have probably clinched a podium or victory today. When you look at how good our speed was toward the end that's pretty painful."
Mike Rockenfeller (Schaeffler Audi RS 5 DTM), 8th place
"Qualifying was our problem this weekend because we were simply too far at the rear. In the race, we didn't get too many things wrong, except for the second pit stop at which we lost two seconds because something was jammed. Then I got stuck behind a brand colleague while I was in a battle with Bruno Spengler. Without these two minor incidents fifth place might have been possible but this way I finished in eighth place. On the one hand, that's a bit disappointing but when you finish in the points after starting from position 14 in a race with so many question marks, that's good damage containment."
Jamie Green (Red Bull Audi RS 5 DTM), 14th place
"A tough race. My speed was okay, but not very strong. My main problem was that I was given a lap time penalty toward the end of the race and was to reduce my speed. But I couldn't judge how fast I was and braked. My engineer said that it wasn't enough so I had to brake again on the next lap. Later, I received a drive-through penalty. That's a shame! Only because I once ran wider in turn one, which surely didn't give me any advantage, I lost 35 seconds."
Miguel Molina (Audi RS 5 DTM), 15th
"After the puncture right at the beginning of the race I had a good pace. We were able to make good use of the option tires and in the end were fast on the standard tires as well. I'm looking forward to Brands Hatch. I really like this track and am optimistic."
Filipe Albuquerque (Audi Financial Services RS 5 DTM), 16th place
"It was a crazy race. At my first pit stop, the button for the pit lane speed limiter didn't work and I was too fast. That's why I received a drive-through penalty. Afterward, things were going well. I subsequently received another penalty out of the blue because I was sure that I didn't drive over the line in turn one. Unfortunately, it was a race to forget."
Mattias Ekström (Red Bull Audi RS 5 DTM), retirement
"That wasn't a perfect start of the season. At the beginning, it wasn't easy on standard tires. When I lost the hood the car became even more difficult to drive. When something broke on the driveline and I had no more propulsion I was forced to give up."
Edoardo Mortara (Playboy Audi RS 5 DTM), retirement
"For us, it was a difficult race weekend. Now we're hoping for Brands Hatch. Things can only get better."
Adrien Tambay (Audi ultra RS 5 DTM), retirement
"It was another short race at Hockenheim. At the start, the handbrake didn't work. I jump-started and received a penalty. I later noticed that there was a loss in engine power and then the car caught on fire. We don't know the reason yet, we've still got to look into this. Hopefully, we'll be more fortunate the next time."
Hans-Jürgen Abt (Team Director Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline): "It was a very turbulent race with many position battles. We're sorry about not having called Timo (Scheider) in for a pit stop during the safety car period. But the communication took too much time, that's why he lost about 20 seconds. Still, we saw that we've got a good pace, especially with Timo's car and we need to build on this."
Ernst Moser (Team Director Audi Sport Team Phoenix): "As expected, it was a turbulent race. The new rules made for a lot of action. We're very pleased with Mike (Rockenfeller). He advanced from 14th place to position eight. If our pit stop had been optimal fourth or fifth place would have been possible. Miguel (Molina) suffered the misfortune of destroying an option tire on the starting lap. As a result, he had to contest the whole race on standard tires. He drove a superb race on them and had a good speed."
Arno Zensen (Team Director Audi Sport Team Rosberg): "Unfortunately, this wasn't our weekend. After the start, Edo (Mortara) had body contact and damaged the front of his car. In addition, he was bumped in the rear so that his car was no longer drivable and we quit. Filipe (Albuquerque) had a good start and things were going well in terms of the strategy. We had an early pit stop and then the safety car came out, which was optimal. Filipe, unfortunately, was driving too fast in the pit lane and was penalized. Subsequently, there were two additional penalties."

The USS Dwight D Eisenhower and its Hornet and Super Hornet jets are on station in the Gulf amid ongoing tension with Iran.
07:24, UK, Thursday 11 October 2012
From the deck of one the largest, most powerful warships in the world, the attack jets of the most powerful country in the world take to the skies above the Arabian Gulf.
The missions from the USS Dwight D Eisenhower, a Nimitz class carrier, are an almost bone-shudderingly loud constant.
The jets, 44 in total, scream into the skies across the Middle East, Pakistan and Afghanistan day and night.
But we are just 80 miles south of Iran, and Carrier Strike Group 8 knows its next biggest task could involve Iran, shipping lanes and keeping the world's oil supplies moving.
Led by the Eisenhower, the Strike Group spends at least half its time in the Gulf.
Iran has threatened to respond to attacks from Israel, or anyone else for that matter, by closing the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway through which 20% of the world's oil is shipped.
The man commanding the Strike Group, Rear Admiral Michael Manazir, says he does not plan for the unilateral action of any country within his area of operations, but concedes that Iran is a problem he may have to deal with.
He said: "Our presence ensures that economic prosperity can be enjoyed by those who want to use the Strait for economics, for oil transit, for any imports that are coming in.
"Our presence actually ensures that stability against any country that would want to close the Strait."
The Group uses helicopters and jets to watch for Iranian ships attempting to place mines or threaten oil-related assets.
The admiral revealed his vessels are in daily contact with their Iranian counterparts. "Like you I have read about our apparent poor relations," Admiral Manazir told Sky.
"But we actually have daily professional interactions with Iran. This is a stable relationship for now."
They are hardly leaving anything to chance. Battle drills are a regular feature of everyday life.
Fearing an attack from Iran's Revolutionary Guards' much-publicised flotilla of fast speedboats, the crew aboard the Eisenhower practise for multiple attacks and casualties.
Some of the 14 decks of the ship are filled with fake smoke to simulate the attack, while the four acres of the flight deck practise emergency procedures.
"What that first attack will be I don't predict," says the ship's commanding officer, Captain Marcus Hitchcock.
"But I do posture myself to be prepared to repulse any attack and to continue our mission whatever that may be."
An Israeli attack on Iran or an Iranian intervention in the Gulf would likely escalate instantaneously an already, at times, tense situation.
The Strike Group has been deployed for the longest planned mission in a decade. Nine months they will be on station, and it could be a very busy posting for all involved.

Blue Ridge Abortion Assistance Fund
434-963-0669 | http://blueridgeaaf.com
If you live in Virginia, the Blue Ridge Abortion Assistance Fund may be able to help pay for your abortion care, ultrasounds, and travel assistance.
As of July 1, 2015, we are only able to fund first trimester abortions for women living in central and western Virginia. We will also help fund second trimester abortions that are performed at Richmond clinics for women who live anywhere in Virginia.
If you call us and leave a message, please slowly spell your name, leave your phone number with area code, where you are located, and why you are calling. Also tell us if it is safe to leave you a message and when we should call you back. A Fund volunteer will call you back within 48 hours.
All calls are confidential. All money that the Fund is able to provide will be paid directly to the clinic where you are having your procedure.
The Blue Ridge Abortion Assistance Fund helps callers on a first-come, first-served basis
Our Story
The Blue Ridge Abortion Assistance Fund (BRAAF) is an all-volunteer feminist organization that has been operating since 1990. In 2009 BRAAF became a legal tax-deductible charity. It is staffed entirely by volunteers and has no central office. 100% of the money donated to the Fund goes directly to women asking for help. In the last twelve years, the Fund has assisted over 600 women to have a true choice — letting them make the choice that is right for them in matters of reproductive health. For the past year, BRAAF has helped women from the entire Commonwealth of Virginia. This has led to an explosive increase in demand. BRAAF handled this upsurge, which tripled calls, by actively seeking and doubling our funding sources. We have not grown enough to sustain this level of demand. Therefore, now (July 2015) BRAAF is primarily serving women from Central and Western Virginia.
We hope YOUR donations will allow us to assist more Virginia women soon.
Our Community
In each of the last several years, BRAAF has helped 40-50% more women than the previous year. In the past year, we've more than doubled the number of women we help. These women would not have been able to afford an abortion without the assistance of the Blue Ridge Abortion Assistance Fund: callers are mothers, students, unemployed women, and low-wage workers who would otherwise have no choice. BRAAF believes that a woman should not need to be rich to exercise her reproductive rights. Their volunteers live in the community and provide transportation assistance if needed, when possible.
BRAAF also takes part in local, state, and national advocacy efforts promoting women's reproductive health, and works actively with other abortion funds both in Virginia and nationally to help ensure that all women can get the health care they need. They have also sponsored local educational programs.
Get Involved
For abortion funds, raising money is half the battle, because they can't help women unless they have something to give. Donating to your local abortion fund means giving a woman the resources she needs to make the choice that is right for her.
To donate to BRAAF and make a difference in someone's life immediately, click here.
The donate button at the top of this page will donate to NNAF.
If you are interested in volunteering with BRAAF, please leave a message at (434) 963-0669 or email [email protected].
You may also mail your tax-deductible donations directly to:
P.O. Box 5082

Our CanuckSEO Search Story!
Filed under: SEO
With a great "tip-O-the-hat" to Lisa Barone, a blogger extraordinaire over at Outspoken Media…I followed her great posting and went to YouTube to make our own search video…what a hoot that was!
And my reason for this posting is to tell you that you — that anyone — can go to YouTube and with a few very simple clicks, make your own online video too! As you know, we're SEO practitioners, but that doesn't matter a whit. Anyone can use this "create your own" service and here's a pointer on how to do same…
First, go to this YouTube URL — http://www.youtube.com/user/SearchStories and view the opening vid and you can also look through some of the other ones made by folks just like us all….some great ones there, eh!
Once you're ready to do your own, find this button and click same…to enter the create your own area…in the labelled area #1 Write.
Now the fun begins…you need only enter a search term in the first field, then adjust the matching drop-down for the Google area you want to search in…and then the YouTube online app will run that search and show you the results! If you come up in the search listings, great? Wait, only competitors say? Then adjust your keyword search term and try again…
Once you're done with the six search terms, you finish off the search portion with the final item to search for…in our case as you can see, we put in our phone number to be searched for….a nice touch, we think!
Next step, you click the NEXT button and you are moved through to the #2 Add Music area where you then get to pick out a soundtrack to add to the background — again more fun! I listened to like a dozen or so, before I settled on the Sci-Fi Beat offering and that's what you hear in the background of our own Search story.
And you're done! Hitting that NEXT button will get YouTube #3 Preview and Upload area to to compile the video and then watch same. Happy? Click the Upload button. Needs some work? Click the BACK button to re-edit same…
It's fun and it does require some real thought to get your own search terms to work for you, if you're planning on doing up a promotional video for your business.
Our own CanuckSEO Search Story took us about 15 minutes to get it "right" and you can view it below or click here too — Our CanuckSEO Search Story!

i loved the smell of this product and i was in search of a good exfoliating product- unfortunately this did not do much for my skin other than irritate it- but i will continue to use it as a body scrub instead.... (i see someone else also does in the previous reviews) very cheap but i would not recommend for someone with sensitive skin issues... or even tempermental skin... but good for a body scrub!

Well- I love it! The perfect scrub for winter. It's actually... gasp... moisturizing! I've been searching for a scrub that actually helped to moisturize and de-flake at the same time. This does it all. The grains are kind of small, not nearly as rough as the typical apricot scrub, but they really do get the job done. I also love the smell! So far I have not had an breakout either- a true winner for me!
Bottom Line: A great, moisturizing, winter-time scrub.

This scrub is GREATTT. it exfoliates any dead skin and leaves the skin soft and polished. It also has a very nice smell to it.

This is a great scrub that I use almost everyday. It is gentle or you an use it more vigorously depending on your need. The price is great and will be purchase again however I might try the other scrubs they have for the face, I like to switch it up. Try it, for the price you won't go wrong.

This made me break out like crazy. It was the worst break out (almost rash-like) that I've had in 2 or 3 years. I should have known because of the cocoa butter, but the Sally near me was out of the Mint Julep that I wanted to try and I really needed a scrub. This gets a three because it is a pretty good body scrub, but it will never touch my face again.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Dark, Warm
Hair: Brown, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Brown
Loving this! I use this every morning. The grains are very fine (not big and jagged like some scrubs) and you can control the amount of exfoliation by how hard you scrub. The smells is nice...smells a little like cocoa butter...but I can't quite figure out what the other smell is. Oh well, the smell doesn't last once rinsed off and the scrub rinses completely clean, no film. Can't go wrong for only $3!
Age: 25-29
Skin: Oily, Fair, Not Sure

Reasonably priced exfoliator, love the cocoa butter smell. Hopefully the cocoa butter will also do something for my scars. The grain is a little finer than St. Ives apricot, personally i like this better.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Normal, Other, Not Sure

This is a fantastic product and so reasonably priced. I'm amazed at what some companies get for just sugar and oil. Though this might be a bit coarse for the face, it's perfect for a pre-shave, or pre-tan. Similar to St. Ives Apricot scrub, but I prefer the tube and the smell.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Acne-prone, Other, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I purchased this scrub after reading the reviews on here. I actually wanted the honey and oatmeal one but they didn't stock that one at my local drugstore. It's a pretty good scrub, the grains are just the right size and scrub well, just wish there were more of them. It washes off easily without leaving a nasty film, but I do follow with a regular cleanser seeing as how my skin is acne-prone and horribly oily, I don't think leaving the smallest bit of a product with cocoa butter in it would help.
I love the price of this stuff.. so glad I came across this as I was originally looking for scrubs on Sephora. It's a good quality scrub and I would repurchase, although I would like to try their honey and oatmeal version too.

Yanks protest over Beckett injury
Updated: May 19, 2010, 2:25 AM ETAssociated Press
NEW YORK -- The New York Yankees protested their 7-6 loss to Boston on Tuesday night because they claimed there was no indication of an injury to Red Sox starter Josh Beckett before he came out in the fifth inning.
Relief pitcher Manny Delcarmen was given all the time he needed to warm up after Beckett was removed.
The Yankees filed their protest with umpire crew chief Larry Vanover after the fifth. New York was leading 5-0 at the time.
The Yankees have 24 hours to file a formal ...

Attractive & Comfortable Shirt with One Fit Issue
This is my first experience with a Dakota Grizzly product and overall I'm pretty happy with the shirt (especially at the awesome SAC sale price). The bamboo material is very light and soft, quite comfortable, and the colors are vibrant and handsome. The fit of the shirt is on the trim side, so if you like a looser fit you might size up. I have long arms and the sleeves in my size are plenty long which is great - will have to see if it shrinks after washing. My one major complaint about the shirt is that when you roll up the sleeves to secure them above the elbow with the button tabs, the sleeves are too tight. I have to roll them up before putting the shirt on, because otherwise it's a bit of a chore rolling the tight sleeves up over my arms - and I'm not a body builder or anything, and I got the XL. Definitely need roomier sleeves for this kind of design. Otherwise a nice shirt that I'd buy again at the sale price.

My most polished interactive firearm so far. I think I managed got most of the features down. This rifle has an ammunition capacity of five rounds.
Update: Added three way safety and bolt lock.
Update: Added three way safety and bolt lock.
Thank you
This is cool.You should make the M-1 Garand.
This is really awesome, I own one and this sounds just like it.....minus ears ringing.
I like how this realizes how many bullets were fired when reloading.
Mosin nagant
M1 Gerand!
Would you mind doing an FN SCAR-L
can you make an uzi?
make a m1 garand
Please make a Ruger AC-556 n_n
i knew before how it works but you show this very exactly. i love it!
please make lee enfield
Oma, it's Kurz. Kurtz is gibberish.
ive always loved the k-98, bit i never did know that the silver disk on the butt was for
tis pretty cool kinda like the the way my 22 worked when i was little great job
This one is by far my favorite of your simulators. Also best for scaring neighbors.
How do you shoot?
1. Click the bolt (silver thing)
2. Click the 'reload' button.
3. Click the bolt again.
4. Click trigger.
5. Click bolt twice before each shot. You have 5 shots before you have to repeat steps 1-3.

(one of my favorite guns)
(one of my favorite guns)
Love this one too! I have flash CS4 and Ill have to try my hand at gunmaking in it sometime, but never used it before as I mainly use creative suite for Illustrator and photoshop. You can work that bolt pretty fast and 5 rounds go pretty quick once you learn how to manipulate that bot!
how do i fire?
can you add that to my gallery
You know what, AK-47 & Kar98K are my fav. guns, I've been searching for simulator of these. can you make more, cause you're creations...........are..............AWSOME!!!!!!
You could use PMG to get the gun and as good as you are with this I think it wont be a problem for you to turn them into animations. With the new version of PMG those guns would turn out really great
This is a lot of fun, If you take suggestions I would like to see a boberg xr9 pistol.
nice work on this. By far my favorite.

Most people just ring the bell, clap, and put some money in the box. This man is much more serious about his prayers.

So I got the job working with the well known cowhorse trainer, most of you know that.
It's not that I don't like it, it's that I feel SO pressured. I understand that, but he has higher expectations than I have ever had to live up to.
I'm riding two year olds and three year olds right now. Some days I feel like I'm doing awesome, and he compliments me a lot. Then the next day, I'm making all kinds of mistakes, and I feel like a total failure.
Yesterday was one of those days. Let's just say the two year olds are having major baby phases. One has learned to bend her head and fling her body the other direction. The other gets pissy sometimes and likes to throw a kick, always quickly reprimanded. We have them loping nice circles, on the flag and doing well, and getting off my leg it's just some of those things that make me feel useless. And since we're on the transition period and I haven't been there very long, I feel uncomfortable getting after these colts like I would my own. But, if I don't get after them, then they learn bad things.
He has me doing things I've never done, and can't communicate worth a **** what he actually wants done. He's not good at explaining, and it's stressful to me because I don't want to ruin these nice colts.
So now I'm sitting here thinking about the bad day yesterday, and getting more nervous. I have to work again tomorrow and my heart is racing at the thought. I'm scared of having another one of those days and him deciding I'm just not good enough to ride his horses anymore. I NEED this job, we're losing our house and might have to find new arrangements for the horses we have and I'm just freaking out. We make just BARELY over the food stamp requirements right now...
Ugh, just me being over reactive...I'm hoping things go better tomorrow.

Nothing. Nothing at all. There's nothing wrong with soloing in MMORPGs.
Nothing. Nothing at all. There's nothing wrong with soloing in MMORPGs.
The thing about MMORPGs is that nowhere in the words "massively multiplayer online roleplaying game" is there any sort of mandate about soloing or grouping at all. Massively multiplayer online roleplaying game refers to the scale of people in the world, suggests the virtual location of the game, makes vague promises about playing a role, and that's pretty much it. You'll find lots of people happy to interpret that in a way that suits their personal tastes, however, including those who believe that if you're not grouping with them at all times, you're doing it wrong, you're betraying the genre, and you're spoiling the game.
But you're not. If the game allows soloing, and you enjoy soloing, then you're playing the game in at least one of the ways it was intended, just as everyone else is. The unreasonable expectations of the "group or die" players should have zero impact on you. You don't exist for them or for anyone else; your gametime should make you happy, however you choose to spend it. And for some people, that means soloing in a massively multiplayer world.
That doesn't stop some players from measuring an MMORPG's social atmosphere by whether or not people are forced into dungeon grouping, nor does it prevent them from defining social gameplay as something doable only in units scaled to some dungeon party, which is arbitrary and silly. There are plenty of other social activities in games and plenty of things solo players do that are actually quite social. For example, someone who gathers, crafts, buys, and sells on an auction hall is participating in an economy, a very social activity regardless of how indirect it is or whether the participant spends any time furiously typing. In fact, someone who participates in the economy through an auction hall or vendor is touching and affecting far more participants in said economy than someone who merely runs a dungeon with four people. You'll also find solo gamers actively participating in world chats and on forums, dispensing advice while they do their thing in the open world, since some players just feel more comfortable talking to fellow players ad hoc than taking on the pressures of being in a group. My own guild is staffed with a number of players who are most comfortable soloing but still heavily contribute to the festivity and leadership and camaraderie and stockpiles of our team. Even PvP is social!
Consider also that there are plenty of social-friendly reasons to solo. If I'm tinkering in an MMO while keeping an eye on my toddler, there's no way I'm going to jump into a group for a dungeon. I might need to AFK at a moment's notice to clean up a diaper or sippy cup disaster or crumbled LEGO tower, and that'd mean leaving my group in the lurch. It would be actively rude of me to impose on my groupmates, knowing I couldn't fully commit to the activity. The social, as opposed to anti-social, thing to do in that situation is stay solo. An anti-social person would just join a party, loot some stuff, and leave without a thought for other gamers, and yet since he is grouping rather than soloing, far too many people would consider him the social one.
I won't claim that our genre never sees "massively singleplayer" games or even that we're not in the midst of a "mingleplayer" gamevalanche. A lot of modern MMOs and pseudo-MMOs are little more than singleplayer grindparks with combat lobbies and a chat channel slapped in to produce an extra revenue stream for a company. But they aren't the only games being produced, and they do serve as a gateway drug for potential players of truly massively multiplayer games, which means more players and more money for our corner of the industry -- yes, even some gamers who don't agree that a 5-man dungeon is the end-all, be-all of socializing. There will always be legit MMORPGs with dungeon grouping as one avenue for being social. We just need to recognize that there are lots of other social activities too, and the best MMOs will include more and more of them, not fewer in some attempt to reclaim EverQuestian glory days.
The MMORPG genre might be "working as intended," but that doesn't mean it can't be so much more. Join Massively Editor-in-Chief Bree Royce every other Friday in her Working As Intended column for editorials about and meanderings through MMO design, ancient history, and wishful thinking. Armchair not included.

text: Okay, I'm on day 33 of my cycle, I never go this long!! EVER! Usually my cycles are 27 days, the longest I've ever had is 30! My lmp was July 27th so I keep expecting to see AF every time I go to the bathroom, but she's yet to visit!! I've taken 3 pregnancy tests and all are negative. I even took one this morning! Anyways, not long ago this morning I had very, very light brown spotting mixed with CM. I wouldn't think implantation bleeding would take place so late in my cycle! I had breakthrough bleeding on the 12th and 15th of my cycle. We dtd on the 12th and a couple days before the 12th. So, I don't know if I actually ovulated on the 12th or the 15th. Everytime after I've had that spotting this morning I keep expecting to see more when I go to the bathroom, but nothing else! I guess I'll see if AF decides to visit today! I've never had anything like this happen with my cycles before! So, I'm going a little crazy and just needed to vent!! Has anyone else had something like this and then had a BFP?

Update on MilicentMilicent runs a business in which she sells tablecloths, bed sheets, and curtains to earn an income. She cites seasonality and stiff competition from other operators as her major challenges.
Milicent decided to join Yehu to access loans to boost her business. She has requested a loan in the amount of Kshs 15,000, which she will use to pay for medical coverage for her family.
She thanks Kiva lenders and Yehu for helping her.

Her greatest monthly expense is food for the family. She operates a hawking business of selling clothes from door to door... More from Milicent's previous loan »
Additional Information
About Yehu Microfinance TrustThis loan is administered by Yehu Microfinance Trust, which was founded in 1998 as a project of CHOICE Humanitarian Kenya. In July 2007, Yehu became a separate entity from CHOICE and was registered as a trust. Since then, Yehu has expanded to cover over half of Kenya's 13 coastal districts.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

Photo updated July 2012
I have been writing this blog for nearly 3 1/2 years now. I could go back and count how many recipes are on here, but that might take me awhile. 3 1/2 years worth of recipes is a lot of recipes. But do you know what?? I still get nervous when someone says they have tried one or are going to try one of the recipes I've posted. I'm afraid other people won't like them. I guess I need a little self confidence – because really – I don't even write my own recipes. If someone doesn't like it, it's not really my fault, is it?? I guess it is, though, because I recommended the recipe. Regardless, I still get nervous sometimes.
But then there are blogs like Cassie's. I've been reading her blog for awhile now, and it's kind of funny how many of the same recipes we have tried. I'll get on to read her blog and I'll have to smile when I see some of the same recipes I've made – I'm pretty sure we'd get along great in real life because we have such a similar taste in food! Hers is a blog I can go to and I know I will find something that I will love – like these enchiladas. When I saw her post these, I thought to myself that it had been awhile since I had made enchiladas, and then that's all I wanted. I finally got around to making this recipe, and I'm happy to say that Cassie did not let me down! I actually have an enchilada recipe kind of similar to this that I used to make quite often, but I loved how this one had corn in it. We all know I've been on a corn kick lately!! I'm always happy to find a blog that I know I can trust and who's recipes will always turn out wonderful!
Do you have a blog who's recipes you make often?
- 5 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 2 cups prepared salsa
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 1 cup shredded pepper-jack cheese, divided
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper
- 4 scallions, thinly sliced
- 8 (8-inch) flour tortillas
- Preheat the oven to 325F.
- In a medium bowl, cream together the cream cheese and sour cream. Stir in ½ cup of the salsa. Stir in ½ cup of each of the cheeses, the chicken, the corn, chili powder, and cumin. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in half of the scallions.
- Spread ½ cup of the salsa in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place about ½ cup of the chicken mixture down the center of one of the tortillas. Roll up and place in the dish, seam side down. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Pour the remaining salsa over the top of the enchiladas. Top with the remaining cheese. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the enchiladas are heated through.
- Sprinkle with the remaining scallions and serve.

22 Responses to Cream Cheese Chicken Enchiladas
3 1/2 years of blogging! Wow! I am fairly new and have so much to learn. I enjoy visiting sites and bookmarking all the good recipes!
I love your site and your recipes are golden. I know that they will usually have ingredients that I either have or can find easily and the meals (or muffins) will be tasty and usally quick. I also like another blog called noble pig.
I live for enchilades. Now I want to make some!
And you are not alone with being worried people won't like the recipes. I secretly worry about it too.
Everyone has different tastes, no pleasing everyone! I love your blog, keep it up
Enchiladas can be hard to take picture of, but you nailed it! I make a recipe similar to this but with beef instead of chicken. I love the creaminess from the cream cheese. Look great!
So comforting and naughty! I can never get enough of that kind of dish!
I'm so glad you liked these! (I always get nervous, too, when someone tries something I've posted. What if they don't liiiike it?!)
I think we'd get along really well in real life too. Thanks for all the kind words, Deborah!
I get the same way when someone makes one of my recipes! It's totally irrational, but still.
Oo do these sound good! I've got a serious Mexican craving going on now…
I feel that your site and your recipes are pitch perfect…but I understand how you feel, I get nervous too. These enchiladas look creamy and cheesy…just the way I like them!
These look so delicious! I think everyone who shares a recipe, whether it's on a blog or not, has apprehension that it won't be pleasing to another. Keep posting them though- your recipes are great!
I get nervous, too! Isn't it funny that most of us do? And I gt totally excited when someone says they read my blog! I don't get many comments, so it's rewarding to know that someone is reading
I love your blog, Deborah! Of course I read Pioneer Woman (who doesn't?) and Steamy Kitchen is a favorite!
SOUNDS AWESOME! I have a family chicken enchilada recipe that I love, but I'm definitely going to have to try this out! You can't go wrong with mexican!
i tend to get a bit nervous too! but i figure not everyone is going to think the same as me, what one person find delicious, another person could easily find disgusting.
this looks DELICIOUS! with ingredients like that how could you go wrong?
Love this recipe! Looks like a great meal for when school starts back up again in September.
I find that Recipegirl and Sweetnicks have many recipes that I can count on to be awesome whenever I make them.
I get that same nervous feeling when someone says they are making something of mine. It doesn't matter that I loved it…they might hate it!
These look amazing!
I still get that fear as well. I've made a lot of recipes from Stacey Snacks & Kalofagas
I totally know what you mean about being nervous when people say they're going to make something from your blog. I get especially nervous if they're going to make like a healthy muffin and might be expecting a cake muffin so they won't like it. Anyway, I don't know if I've ever had cream cheese in enchiladas but it sounds like it would be amazing!
I am making these for supper tonight and they look delicious! I slowcooked the chicken so it was perfectly shred up. The only thing I added was bacon to the mixture, and crumbled some on top as well! Can't wait to have this for supper tonight!
I didn't see what to do with the corn??
I missed that !!
I once made a pasta salad everyone at work loved and talked about the next day. One lady was not there that day so she asked me for the recipe so she could try it since everyone love it. Long story short she made it and was honest enough to say it was not to her liking. Of course as we talked she totally changed the ingredients. It called for bow tie pasta she used linguine. It called for Parmesan cheese she used Monterey Jack. Lol on and on she listed her changes. She did not make MY salad. She made HERS!

The Neighborhood
Our apartment is located on the border between the districts of San Giovanni and the Esquilino and the Colosseum area.
Airbnb, despite our requests to modify the informations, makes a wrong description of the Esquilino, just merely describing the chaotic area around the train station "Termini". We are at 2 metro stops from Termini Station and the Esquilino area is as big as a small town !
Our area is very quiet and safe. In particular, our street is very quiet, ensuring complete relax at night.

We are just 10 minutes walk from the Colosseum and the whole archaeological area of the Imperial Forums and, at the same time, our metro leads you in a few minutes directly to the Vatican and the main tourist sites, such as the Spanish Steps or Trevi Fountain !

For those arriving by car, there is a private garage nearby or you can park along the road in both free or paid areas.

Safety of Non-Medically Led Primary Maternity Care Models: A Critical Review of the International Literature
McIntyre, Meredith J., Australian Health Review
Abstract. The Australian government has announced major reforms with the move to a primary maternity care model. The direction of the reforms remains contentious; with the Australian Medical Association warning that the introduction of non-medically led services will compromise current high standards in maternity services and threaten the safety of mothers and babies. The purpose of this paper is to conduct a critical review of the literature to determine whether there is convincing evidence to support the safety of non-medically led models of primary maternity care. Twenty-two non-randomised international studies were included representing midwifery-led care, birth centre care and home birth. Comparative outcome measurements included: perinatal mortality; perinatal morbidity; rates of medical intervention in labour; and antenatal and intrapartum referral and transfer rates. Findings support those of the three Cochrane reviews, that there is sufficient international evidence to support the conclusion of no difference in outcomes associated with low risk women in midwiferyled, birth centre and home birth models compared with standard hospital or obstetric care. These findings are limited to services involving qualified midwives working within rigorous exclusion, assessment and referral guidelines, limiting the number of urgent intrapartum transfers that come with increased risk of perinatal mortality.
What is known about the topic? Systematic reviews of maternal and perinatal outcomes associated with midwifery-led care when compared to conventional intrapartum hospital care concluded that these non-medically led models of care are associated with several benefits for low risk women and their babies with no identified adverse effects.
Whatdoes this paper add? The finding of no difference in outcomes associated with midwifery-led, birth centre and home birth compared with standard hospital or obstetric care is limited to international studies involving women in the care of qualified midwives working within rigorous guidelines for practice involving inter-professionally agreed exclusion, assessment and referral criteria.
What are the implications for practitioners? Midwives caring for women in non-medically led models are urged to be vigilant to the need for early detection and prompt action in the event of unforseen complications to avoid an over emphasis on normality. This decreases the likelihood of urgent intrapartum transfers that come with an increased risk of perinatal mortality.
Additional keywords: antenatal and intrapartum transfer rates, birth centre, home birth, midwifery-led, perinatal mortality and morbidity.
Received 29 April 2011, accepted 16 August 2011, published online 25 May 2012
The Australian government has announced a major program of reform with the move to a primary maternity care model in response to the need to achieve a balance between safety and improvingwomen's experience associated with giving birth.1 It is argued that the current model of maternity care, characterised by an obstetric monopoly2 is deemed to be unnecessarily costly and associated with a negative effect on the health of women.3-5 A main driver for reform is the need to curtail the financial extravagance associated with the majority of women reasonably expected to give birth without medical intervention being allocated the same expensive resources as women who require specialist medical care to give birth safely.1 The direction of the reforms does not come with consensus agreement within the key stakeholder group.6 The agenda for change has been influenced by a strong consumer voice,7 the Australian College of Midwives (ACM) and persuasive rural alliances advocating for women's right to choose the maternity care that best suits their needs near to where they live.4,8 The Australian Medical Association (AMA) has challenged the direction of the reforms, warning that the introduction of non-medically led services will compromise current high standards in maternity services and threaten the safety of mothers and babies. …

United Kingdom Couldn't Be Prouder Of Scotland-Born Whorehouse CEO
The last six weeks have been a fairly stressful time for Anna Gristina/Scotland. On March 6, she was arrested for allegedly running a brothel out of an East 78th Street apartment, where she provided hookers to "wealthy, powerful men" ("politicians, top-law enforcement, influential lawyers, bankers, entertainment execs and Fortune 500 businessmen"), which meant her plans for global expansion (the details of which she'd been hammering out with a broker friend just that morning) had to be shelved. On April 3, her request for reduced bail (set at $2 million) was denied for a fourth time. On April 9, it became clear she was probably going to have to send her pet pigs to a farm "upstate." Right now, as she sits in a jail cell on Riker's Island, it would be fair to assume Gristina/Scotland's spirits are pretty low. And while it may be little consolation, she should know that everyone back home, across the pond, is not only rooting for her but swelling with pride over her accomplishments.
When David Cameron spoke recently of entrepreneurs banging the drum for British business, he possibly wasn't referring to the woman whose entrepreneurship has become the talk of New York. In her own way, though, Anna Gristina, 44, could be cited as a curious example of British excellence. The Scottish woman, who allegedly ran a high-class prostitution racket from her Manhattan apartment for 15 years, has been showing that when it comes to sex scandals the Brits still lead the world. Heidi Fleiss may have had an A-list clientele but she didn't have Playboy models working for her, royalty and former presidential candidates on the books, an ex-husband who is a noted politician, and a stunning stand-up comedienne sidekick. For wild originality alone the "McMadam" story surely wins out.
District Attorney Charles Linehan told the court that there "was no plainer example that she (Gristina) is a flight risk." If the prosecutors are playing hardball, however, so is Gristina. From her cell in Riker's Island she sent word that she would sooner bite her own tongue off than betray any of her prominent clients. One would expect nothing less of a doughty Scot, who decades ago left behind her tiny village of Kirkliston, near Edinburgh, to make her fortune in the big city but is still well remembered back home.
That's our girl!

Charlie Gasparino Names Morgan Stanley Guy Allegedly Helping To Expand UES Brothel Business
Earlier this morning it was reported that Morgan Stanley "reviewed its visitor logs" upon hearing that one of its employees was supposedly conducting business with Anna Gristina/Scotland, a purveyor of prostitutes, when she was arrested this week. In the event the bank is still on the hunt, Charlie Gasparino claims to have a name.
"…the executive involved with UES madam has been identified as David Walker, a broker in the midtown office. He has not been charged and didn't return calls. Morgan Stanley has no comment."

The mother of four (who went by the name "Anna Scotland" professionally) had been providing hookers for to "wealthy, powerful men" ("politicians, top-law enforcement, influential lawyers, bankers, entertainment execs and Fortune 500 businessmen") out of an Upper East Side whorehouse for a decade and a half, had developed a thriving client list willing to pay between $1000 (for a "Dream Girl") to $2000+ (for an "Ultimate Elite Model") per appointment, and made millions in the process. She was ready for the big time. Just the other day, in fact, Gristina/Scotland was sitting down at the office of her friend and business associate, a Morgan Stanley employee, to hear his plan for "expanding her operation through the Internet." And then this happened.
The petite, blond Gristina was caught on wiretaps claiming "to have made millions over the 15 or so years she has been in business as a madam," Linehan said, according to newly released transcripts of the Feb. 23 hearing…Known in the industry as "Anna Scotland,'' the Scottish native was nailed as part of a five-year investigation by the DA's Official Corruption Unit, which probes NYPD and other uniformed officers for possible misconduct. At one point, Gristina was caught on tape saying her law-enforcement pals were "poised to help her out, to let her know if there is trouble on the front that she needs to be concerned about, particularly back during the Eliot Spitzer investigation," Linehan said, referring to the former governor's hooker scandal. An arrest warrant was issued for Gristina last month.
When cops arrived at her upstate home, where she rescues wild pigs and raises pit bulls, they didn't find anyone — but a wild boar chased a police officer around, the sources said. Gristina was nabbed soon after in the office of a Morgan Stanley banker and "close friend.''
It's unclear if the friend was part of MS's dominant tech team (and was entertaining Gristina/Scotland at HQ*) but knowing they tend to go after big fish companies about to pop it's highly probable.**

The 3-mill increase would be on the same ballot as Mayor William Bell's proposed $75 million bond referendum for capital projects.
Witherspoon told The Birmingham News the money would fund expansion of Birmingham city schools' International Baccalaureate programs and its pre-K foreign language and fine arts programs.
Witherspoon said the Birmingham Board of Education is aware of the proposal.
The request came in an afternoon committee meeting. The council will consider the proposal at a later date.

The New York Jets defensive line has been amazing this year. Sheldon Richardson could be en route to Defensive Rookie of the Year. Damon "Big Snacks" Harrison has been a beast as well, but Richardson has been nearly as dominant against the run while adding a pass rushing element. The Jets' star-studded defensive line is holding opponents to a league-low 3.0 yards per carry. Sheldon Richardson believes they can stop Brady, and says he don't think he is that great.
He's Tom Brady; I'm Sheldon Richardson. He's a name. He's a figure, a franchise player. I'm trying to get after him, simple as that. No one really treats him like [Superman] around here. I think he's the complete opposite of that.
Asked to name the opposite of Superman, the confident Jets rookie smiled and said, "I'd rather not say it."
Well Sheldon, I like your attitude, but not many people fluster Tom Terrific. I cannot see how a team that lost to the Steelers will beat the Pats, but who knows, injuries are killing both teams.Do you follow the NFL Draft?
