Westin Chantilly Hotel: Luxury Addition at Washington Dulles Airport
For frequent travelers to Washington's lovely Dulles airport (will they finish the construction already?!), there's good news on the horizon. The DC suburbs-- aka "Virginia's high-tech corridor"-- are growing a mile-a-minute. Starwood's announcement yesterday is part of this incredible regional development. The new luxury hotel on the block will be the Westin Chantilly, a 211-room hotel to be built within the Commonwealth Centre development about three miles from Dulles. Outfitted with Westin's signature services and amenities (including the brand's Heavenly Bed and Bath), the new hotel will be open in Spring 2009. Guests can look forward to the "Westin signature sensory welcome"-- white tea scent and mood music, anyone?-- along with Unwind: A Westin Evening Ritual. (Looks like Westin's even branded their happy hour cocktails.)

Mandarin Oriental's Sublime Spa in Prague
"Your body is a temple for your spirit; appropriately our spa is a chapel." It's hard to argue with that one. The setting for the new Mandarin Oriental's delicious spa is-- quite literally-- a 14th century Renaissance chapel. Opened in February 2007, the 99-room hotel occupies a former monastery in Prague's oldest quarter. Luxury Spa Finder magazine recently featured this luxury spa as buzzworthy:
The spa's seven treatment rooms, including two couple's suites, have vaulted ceilings, and even its more modern-looking public spaces (including a light-humidity sauna and vitality pool) have a meditative atmosphere that's divinely calming.
The reception area (pictured) is spectacular. The floor's glass panels display the foundations of a 13th century Gothic church. Above, a glass bridge joins the two wings of the second floor.

The August strategy: Immigrant rights activism heats up
By Elena Shore
Contributing Writer
About 40 leaders of immigration reform advocacy organizations were arrested Thursday, August 1, on Capitol Hill. The group was there as part of a protest aimed at pressuring the House GOP into passing an immigration reform bill with a pathway to citizenship. Taking a page from young undocumented immigrants, or Dreamers, nine of whom were arrested along the Arizona border last week, the veteran activists blocked traffic along a street adjacent to the Capitol while chanting a slogan popular among Dreamers: "Undocumented, unafraid!"
The action came a day before Congress members leave Washington, D.C. for their August recess. It kicked off a series of demonstrations, town hall meetings and events that are being planned by immigrant rights advocates during the month of August. The goal, according to Angela Kelley, vice president of immigration policy for the Washington, D.C.-based Center for American Progress, is to use the August recess to gain so much momentum in support of immigration reform that "when they come back, there's an air of inevitability" around settling the issue.

Report urges more positive LGBT stories in Black media
Conclusion of a two-part story
By Charles Hallman
Staff Writer
LGBT people of color often are seen as "double-outsiders" in their respective communities, says the Opportunity Agenda report on LGBT issues and race released in September. The report, "Public Opinion and Discourse on the Intersection of LGBT Issues and Race," examined current public opinion and how ethnic and new media play a role in both perpetuating and challenging myths and biases about LGBT people. It defined "double-outsider" as a Black LGBT or LBGT person of color being marginalized "both from the mainstream and their respective community because of their race and their sexual identity."
Jessica Adair and Amber Harris both told the MSR that they never heard of such terminology before, but do admit they are perceived differently. "You got two strikes against you — you're Black and you're gay," admits Adair. Both women, who are professional basketball players, say they often hear "all female athletes are lesbians" talk. "I ignore it," says Harris. Continue Reading →

Power is in your person
By Marian Wright Edelman
Guest Commentator
"You know, when we started the farm workers movement, I remember going to many conferences, and people [kept asking] how do we do this?… We had to convince people that they have power. "Of course, when you say to a farm worker who doesn't speak the English language, doesn't have formal education, doesn't have any assets, doesn't have any money, that he or she has power, they say, 'What kind of power do I have?' And so what we had to convince the workers is you do have power, but that power is in your person. "That power is in your person, and when you come together with other workers, other people, and they also understand that they have power, this is the way that changes are made. But you can't do it by yourself. Continue Reading →

Report examines coverage of LGBT issues in Black, Latino media
By Charles Hallman
Staff Writer
A new report from The Opportunity Agenda points out that favorable public opinion about lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people of color is slowly growing among Blacks. The national communications, research and advocacy organization released "Public Opinion and Discourse on the Intersection of LGBT Issues and Race" in September. It examined Black and Latino newspapers, Black magazines and Black online media over a two-year period (2009-2011), and found several common themes. Among them:
• Black newspapers and online news sites consider LGBT issues newsworthy. • The six main storylines found in Black newspapers, with HIV/AIDS receiving the most attention, include: homophobia, bullying and discrimination, culture, tension between gay rights and civil rights, religion and same-sex marriage.

Marriage amendment divides Black Christians
Local Black clergy on opposite sides express their views
By Charles Hallman
Staff Writer
The issue of same-sex marriage has been a controversial one for Black people, especially after President Barack Obama expressed his opinion on it last spring. The MSRspoke with two local Black ministers, one feels that the amendment represents "the Bible's way," while the other says it defines the GLBT community as the "other."
Rev. Jerry McAfee pastors New Salem Baptist Church in Minneapolis. He admits that the president's announcement in May disturbed him, believing that it was ill-timed. "I've been quite vocal on what the president did, not because he made the statement but at the timing of the statement. What I did not like was [that] he made the statement without talking to his African American constituents first — at least we could have helped him couch this thing in such a way that it would have been palatable.

Obama harkens back to slavery with 'states' rights' for same-sex marriage
Last July, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) Americans and our allies celebrated New York State becoming the sixth and largest state to allow same-sex marriage. And, of course, it sent an urgent message to President Obama. But what does it signal to us LGBTQ citizens when the first African American president wants to employ states' rights, which once upon a time in this country federally mandated racial segregation and sanctioned American slavery, to address the issue of same-sex marriage? As a civil rights attorney, Obama knows that employing states' rights violates our full constitutional rights as well as re-institutionalizes the 1896 U.S. Supreme Court case of Plessy v. Ferguson. As a result of that case, the "separate but equal" doctrine became the rule of law until it was struck down in the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision. Continue Reading →

These showers will gradually diminish as the main area of lift shifts eastward while winds pickup behind the boundary between 10 and 15 mph sustained from the north through early evening.

Early Tuesday morning, remnants of a weakening shortwave trough lifts northeast over Kansas eventually phasing with the previous wave in the afternoon. There is just enough lift and mid level moisture across eastern Kansas to mention slight to low end chance for scattered showers through the day.

New German iPod site launched
A new German iPod website, iPod-news.de, has been launched. Dirk Ellenbeck, Editor-in-cheif at iPod-news.de said, "Until now there was no German speaking news-service just for iPod users and potential iPod buyers. With the new internet-site iPod-news.de this has come to an end.

Belkin Digital Camera Link for iPod debuts
A reader notes that Belkin has updated its website with information about the new Digital Camera Link for iPod with dock connector. The Digital Link has a USB port for compatible digital cameras as opposed to the currently shipping Media Reader, which does not. You can download photos from camera to iPod. This product is not yet available, but will sell for $89.99 at Belkin's online store.
"Storing digital photos is fast and easy using the Digital Camera Link for iPod. Now you can leave your PC at home and stop worrying about using up your camera's memory. With this portable innovation you'll easily transfer thousands of digital images from your camera to your iPod, and free up disk space to take more pictures. Belkin brings a new dimension to your iPod device - it's not just for tunes anymore.
Simply connect the Belkin Digital Camera Link to your iPod, and connect your USB mass-storage-class camera device. Using software support that's already built into your iPod (with software version 2.1 or later), your pictures transfer quickly and you're ready to start shooting again. When you get home, just connect your iPod to your computer to retrieve the images. It's like having virtually unlimited storage space for all your photos."
Mac: PodWorks 2.8.3 released
PodWorks is a Mac OS X (Cocoa) application that compensates for the iPod's only downside: Apple only allows you to copy songs to your iPod. If you have two Macs and want to use your iPod to transfer music between them, or you only store your MP3s on your iPod and need to copy them back onto your hard drive after a disk failure, you are out of luck!
RealNetworks accuses Apple of Soviet model
"'It's kind of a Soviet model,' said Glaser, referring to Apple's closed environment in a remark that drew laugher from the audience at the annual National Association of Broadcasters conference here. 'Taking secure music off the PC is a morass of incompatibility. This is not going to fly in the mainstream market.' [...]
The company had approached Apple CEO Steve Jobs with a proposal to create a technical alliance that would allow customers of RealNetworks' music service to play songs on the iPod, to no avail. That could now force RealNetworks into a deeper relationship with archenemy Microsoft, which has won support for its technology on dozens of players and plans a major upgrade later this summer."
Karl Lagerfeld owns 40 iPods
Fashion guru, Karl Lagerfeld admitted in the French magazine "Elle" that he owned 40 iPods. The English translation reads: "These sweats are for someone that never jogs [talking about the clothes in the picture] even if the metal grey color is very chic, it is not for me. However, I love iPod, I have fourty of them. I recorded all the music I love on them." MacBidouille states, "40 iPods, that is a maximum of about 1.5 TB (terabytes) of music, or roughly US$400,000 at the iTunes Music Store. That is, of course if Apple can provide that much music."
New Lower Coupon Code for Shure E3 for $143.00

More than 200 accessories for iPod
"Like street racers who trick out their Hondas with air foils and neon lights, iPod users can buy external speakers, winter jackets or fanny packs for their pricey MP3 players.
Apple officials estimate there are more than 200 products on the market. Accessory maker Belkin Corp. (http://www.belkin.com) says one in five iPod owners has bought one of its products.
Atlanta designer Ash Arnett suspects that the iPod's sleek white design encourages accessorization. 'Any decision about a case or something like that is going to be a stylistic change, because there's almost nothing there,' said Arnett, a principal with the design firm Matter (http://www.matterco.com). 'It's like putting a suit of clothes on a generic, asexual mannequin.'"
$195 Gucci iPod Case
"International fashion house Gucci Group has pounced on the market opportunity inherent for third parties in the success of Apple Computer's IPod music player—introducing its own designer IPod carrying case.
Available online through Gucci's U.S. store, the iPod case is available in multiple colors and costs almost as much as an IPod—$195. The case is available in this season's Gucci colors—beige/ebony GG plus with dark brown leather trim, green/red/green web carrying handle, and silver hardware."

Dealmac: The factory-refurbished iPod 40GB MP3 player, with dock and carrying case, is back at $399 in The Apple Store's Special Deals section, as a reader found. That's $30 less than the best price we've seen for a new, factory-sealed unit. Shipping is free, although sales tax is added where applicable. A one-year Apple warranty applies. Also available: the factory-refurbished iPod 10GB without dock for $249.
Google news has taken steps to prevent non-Google apps accessing and re-formatting their news, resulting in the very useful application GoogleGet becoming useless. Its writer has officially stopped the project.
"GoogleGet is no longer available for download and unfortunately none of the previous versions will work with the current Google News website.
The reason for this is pretty simple. During March 2004 Google made some changes to their servers that basically try to prevent non-browser software from downloading pages. I asked Google about this and they pointed me towards the terms of service that apply to that information, specifically part 3. This denies users the permission to reformat news information, or re-display it elsewhere. So, in respect of this I've decided to leave GooglGet behind."
iSkin mini now available
iSkin, Inc. today announced the iSkin mini case is now available for ordering. The new iSkin mini silicone case features; a screen protector, iSkin RevoClip, rear pores to promote heat dissipation, access to click wheel and functions, side "goose bumps" for increased anti-slip grip, compatible with iPod accessories that connect to the top of the iPod such as iTrip, and an integrated dock connector port cover. The iSkin mini costs $24.99 and comes in nine colors, including Ultra-GLO
Apple in no rush to launch iTunes Music Store Europe
"'When we launch in Europe, we want to do it well. There can be no compromise on the ease of use, the depth of the catalog or the responsiveness (of the Web site),' Apple's European chief Pascal Cagni told Reuters in a telephone interview.
He added that a delay of a few months was acceptable because the store was going to be an important outlet for many years.
'This is going to be so important for the future that a few months' delay is not essential,' he said. 'But it will come. Absolutely,' he added, when asked if he was sticking to the launch target year of 2004."

Men linked to Auburn break-in, assault possibly facing arrest
By: Bridget Jones, Journal Staff Writer
Two men wanted by Auburn police for burglary and assault could be facing arrest warrants in the near future. Police believe Auburn resident Ken Amick, 45, and Alvin Mullins, 34, who has lived in and out of Auburn, were involved in a Sept. 29 break-in at a home in the 900 block of Mikkelsen Drive. Police have already arrested Holly Roden and Brandon Frank on charges of helping Amick evade law enforcement and driving under the influence of drugs after the break-in. Roden was also charged with the possession of a controlled substance. Police arrested Allen Patrick, 35, of Auburn, and Auburn resident Ramon Johnson on Sept. 30 and Oct. 1 respectively for their alleged involvements in the incident. Allen was accused of aiding Amick and Mullins during the 5:30 a.m. burglary, assault and battery of the two men living in the Mikkelsen Drive home. Detective Adam Cline, with the Auburn Police Department, said he has talked to both Amick and Mullins on the phone, but they haven't been arrested yet, because they have not been formally charged. "We were able to make contact with all the people we were looking for in that case, but it's up to the (Placer County District Attorney's Office)," Cline said. Amick and Mullins refused to meet with Cline in person, he said. Cline said if the District Attorney's Office decides to charge the two men, warrants would be issued for their arrests. Cline said the department believes the break-in was a result of money the two men living in the home owed. The department believes all those allegedly involved with the break-in are friends, Cline said. A man who knows Amick from the past, but did not want to give his name, contacted the Journal recently. The man said he wasn't surprised by the possibility that Amick was involved in the assault. "I knew Ken Amick a few years ago," he said. "(We were) not friends, just 'drinking buddies.' We got along fine, no problems, but I knew he had a 'dark side.' When I saw the original article (in the Journal about the break-in), I wasn't too surprised, just bummed that he'd got into trouble again. I had a brief notion that, if he were in jail, to go see him and chew him out for being so stupid." Reach Bridget Jones at firstname.lastname@example.com

Linnea my concern is my daughter will be shy and will always be having to correct people on spelling and pronunciation or her name..
Faith or Linnea?
Linnea my concern is my daughter will be shy and will always be having to correct people on spelling and pronunciation or her name..
Depends on if you want your daughter to be one of 5 Faith's in her class or if you would rather her be the only Linnea she may ever meet.
Faith is way too common and overused now. Linnea is different and very pretty.
^^^One of 5 Faiths? That's a bit of an exaggeration.
That said, I vote for Linnea, not because of popularity, but because I like it better. Faith has always seemed cheesy to me.
Yeah 1 of 5 Faiths? I think that's a bit much. I have only met one Faith ever.
I wouldn't name my daughter Linnea just for the reason you mentioned. Not only will she have to correct pronounciation she will also have to correct spelling. It is a pretty name though. But if were me I would prefer Faith which is a great name and not super popular.
It was an exaggeration that there would be 5 per class...but I can name 5 little Faiths under 3 from my church alone. Maybe it's a local thing. Same with Grace.
And yea popularity doesn't bother me too much with Faith.. I know it's in top 100 but I don't even think it's in top 50..
I totally think of the Linea Negra when I see they name! (that line some women get during pregnancy on their bellies... but maybe I'm the only one that makes the connection...)
Dating in '06, Married in '09, DD in '11, DS in '14
I like Linnea but I'm not a fan of the spelling. I think the name itself sounds very pretty though. And Faith is cute and I've only met 2 ppl named Faith in my lifetime.

Reign - Mary Queen of Scots by Rotton-NymphWatch
©2014-2016 Rotton-Nymph
Reign:Mary Queen of Scots - Adelaide Kane
This is the show synopsis Reign which chronicles the rise to power of Mary Queen of Scots when she arrives in France as a 15-year-old, betrothed to Prince Francis, and with her three best friends as ladies-in-waiting. It details the secret history of survival at French Court amidst fierce foes, dark forces, and a world of sexual intrigue.
I have found discrepancies in the different articles and historian facts of Mary Queen of Scots. So below may be inaccurate.
She was reigning Queen of Scots from December 14, 1542 until her enforced abdication on July 24, 1567. She was also the queen consort of France from July 10, 1559 to December 5, 1560 through her marriage to Francis II, King of France. After his death, she returned to Scotland where she married twice more - firstly to Lord Henry Darnley (father of her only surviving child) and after his murder, she married James Hepburn, earl of Bothwell. Her Catholic faith and private life made her deeply unpopular with many of her subjects. She faced several rebellions and was eventually imprisoned. She escaped to England, where her claim to the English throne antagonised her father's cousin, Elizabeth I, who placed her under house arrest. After two decades, she was arrested and tried for conspiring Elizabeth's death. She was beheaded in February 1587, claiming hers was the fate of a Catholic martyr at the time of her death. Her son, James, who was a Protestant, succeeded to the English throne when Elizabeth died childless in 1603. (iMDb)

Last summer, Eclipse shocked aviation watchers by displaying a single-engine variant of its Model 500 twinjet VLJ. The Eclipse "concept jet," or ECJ, featured seating for four (including the pilot) and borrowed key elements from the 500, including the nose, wing, avionics and engine.

Before booking my first charter flight in 2001, I visited industry Web sites, drove to the airport to sit in some airplanes, got advice from a reputable broker and read through a pile of operators' brochures and guides. I felt as well prepared as any new customer could be.

Maybe you'd like to fly a wheelchair-bound relative to a family function. Or perhaps a member of your management team has contracted a bad case of the flu during a business trip. Flights with passengers like these-or anyone with a significant health issue-necessitate special planning.

Customer expectations are the driving force in any aircraft interior design, and it seems the bigger the airplane, the greater the expectations. And there's no shortage of designers who can think as big as necessary.

To determine the best fractional investment, the first thing you have to do is consider your travel profile--including where you fly, how long your trips are, how many passengers you carry, how much luggage you take, what aircraft you prefer and, of course, how much you are willing to spend. Analyzing this information, you can often come up with a single, best solution.
August 1, 2008
What Americans call "landing gear," the British call "undercarriage," which really is much more logical. That's because an airplane uses its wheels not just to land but also to take off, taxi and sit around in the hangar. Whatever you call it, the part of the aircraft that allows it to move around on the ground has several distinguishing characteristics.
July 1, 2008
When you buy a seat on a commercial flight, the choice of airline can matter less than the departure and arrival times. But when you book a charter flight, picking the operator is the most important decision you can make. The wrong choice can cost you lots of time and money, or even create safety risks.
July 1, 2008
Just a few years ago, customers had fewer options in outfitting their aircraft. But the consumerization of business aviation and technological innovations have resulted in a huge range of choices in furnishings and entertainment and communication equipment.

The Gulfstream GV was the first true long-range business jet. There are many impressive things about it, but perhaps the most salient is this: Last year alone, the value of a used GV shot up 18 percent. In 2002, a new GV sold for $43.2 million. Last year on the used market, that airplane commanded $45.5 million.

A Designer Home with Signs of Actual Children, Gasp!Jaime Morrison Curtis
I spotted this tour of designer Melissa Rufty's gorgeous New Orleans home and had to share. This kid's bedroom is so dreamy, and the shot below shows a little creative toy storage – and some actual toys.
I love a designer that's not afraid to show that people (namely children) actually live in her home – so often home tours are all cleaned up and evidence of the children is styled away. See more pics of this gorgeous New Orleans home after the jump…

Pony Mash 9 by GSphereWatch
©2011-2016 GSphere
You really think Twilight built a whole lab in her basement just to run tests on Pinkie Pie for ten seconds?
"I am God."
That face is the best!
That face is the best!
This works because the glow is coming from radioactive decay which the pony then converts into useable sugars through photosynthesis. I'm sure she draws additional nutrients from the soil. No violation of the conservation of energy here, this is a nuclear powered pony! It's perfect!
The horse would be unable to survive on it's own light, as it would require energy to produce it's own glow, and it's glow would not radiate as strongly as the suns light, thus producing less energy for photosynthesis, should the sun disappear this horse would die as it's own energy dwindles from not having a source of external energy to fuel it's body.
on another note Nice comic lol
Reminds me of a Kelpie
"You really think Twilight built a whole lab in her basement just to run tests on Pinkie Pie for ten seconds?" i never thought that.
it IS funny!
Interesting concept but there is one problem. If this is a bioluminescence this horse MUST eat to produce the necessary chemicals that allow her to glow. So this generating energy from light is only the secondary support "life source".
she is Kira.
I like that thing at the last '' i am god '' i laughed my ass off xD
She's also defied the law of logic, because I'm pretty sure emitting light requires energy in the first place.
Truly, the student has now become the master...
It's a fluorescent photosynthetic equine. What more could you ask for?
hah, awesome
madness here goes twilight
Haha, so freaky! I love it~
twilight if you think your god you've got another thing coming! cause your so not god ok now you can smite me when your ready.
...And that's why Twilight has always scared me 0.0
Clone an army and take over equestria. The perfact plan **
Well said Twilight, well said...
She rimids me of Cave Johnson.
Oh Twilight, you so craaaazy
Oh Twilight, you so craaaazy
Really, it was only a matter of time until she snapped.
I love Twilight in the last panel. This is a fun comic. How long did the horse in panel 2 take?
Thanks! I had to do a couple studies before I tried to draw the horse, so it took in all around 4-5 hours.
Oh dear god, you finished it...

This weekend brings the second annual SlutWalk Seattle, a purposefully provocative march and rally designed to shine a searing light on the cultural norms in our society that rationalize sexual assault and, oftentimes, blame the victims for its occurrence.
Evidence of this, Sacks says, can be found in the online reaction to this year's SlutWalk Seattle. In 2011 she says organizers spent a lot of time countering misinformation and negative perceptions; this year people seem more understanding and in tune.
On a national level, Sacks points to the torrent of disapproval comedian Daniel Tosh received after making a joke about rape earlier this year, and to the backlash created by Rep. Todd Akin's "legitimate rape" comments as proof the SlutWalk message is taking root.
Incited in 2011 by a Toronto police officer who issued advice to women recommending they avoid dressing like a "slut" as a rape-prevention measure, the movement has only blossomed from there - with SlutWalks much like Seattle's version now held all over the world. Sacks says one of the things SlutWalks accomplish - along with promoting the message that "slut shaming" and victim blaming are misguided and wrong - is creating a sense of community for those who've experienced sexual assault.
"Sexual assault is very isolating," says Sacks. SlutWalk Seattle helps victims feel "like they're not alone."
Perhaps it should come as no surprise, then, that while Sacks says most sexual assault activism is "very sad," SlutWalk has a far angrier, aggressive stance. Indeed, the first SlutWalk Seattle drew roughly 500 participants according to police estimates, with many of those involved carrying signs indicating they'd experienced sexual assault firsthand.
But they weren't just victims. They were pissed off victims - taking action.
"The idea that women invite sexual violence by looking like they enjoy sex, or that men's urges become so uncontrollable at the sight of a little extra skin that they can't hold themselves back from raping, is ludicrous," says the Seattle SlutWalk website in its "about" section. "People aren't assaulted because they invited it or enticed others to it by looking a certain way; they're assaulted because somebody chose to assault them. Saying that survivors could have protected themselves by not looking like 'sluts' implies that the survivors are at fault and creates a culture in which the heinous crime of sexual assault is seen as no big deal."
Fitting of the event's name and its purpose, a number of SlutWalk participants don purposefully racy clothing - a fact that undoubtedly piques the interest of many who might not otherwise take note. However, many participate in SlutWalk wearing very normal attire. Most powerful of all, still others participate wearing the clothes they were sexually assaulted in, giving a big finger to the notion that anyone dresses in a manner that's "asking" to be raped.
Kshama Sawant is scheduled to speak at SlutWalk Seattle on Sunday.
"We tell people to wear whatever they feel comfortable in," says Sacks. "I'm not worried about [those who focus on the participants' clothing]. Cleary they aren't even listening [to SlutWalk's message]."
Along with bringing an end to the culturally engrained practice of - consciously or unconsciously - blaming sexual assault on victims who were "asking for it" and shaming women for their sexuality, Sacks hopes SlutWalk Seattle and events like it can do more, including changing the way sexual assault is portrayed by the media.
While Sacks sees the societal dialogue being prodded in the right direction thanks to SlutWalk and similar events, she's also a realist, and admits there's a long way to go.
"We're starting to get closer," says Sacks, "but we're still very far away."
SlutWalk Seattle will be held Sunday, Sept. 9 from 12 to 4 p.m. Attendees will meet at Occidental Park before marching north on Fourth Avenue to a rally at Westlake Center. Eight speakers, including Kshama Sawant, Josie Venture, Sera Tucker and Kat McGhee, will address the crowd.
"Mainly, I want it to be a really empowering event," says Sacks of what to expect.

Area state lawmakers wary of state minimum wage hike; Route 219 updateApril 2, 2016
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYINGIn Western New York – with the largest trade corridor in New York and second largest in the United States…we do not have an effective north-south route…If we are to build a sustainable region and one that promotes our long run economic viability we must get on with the completion of the Route 219/Continental 1 infrastructure that will strengthen our region's claim on international trade and connections. We can offer a real alternative to areas where infrastructure is at its limits and expansion of capacity will be very costly.

After being mercilessly teased about her Carrot Top do, Katie Maloney has returned to her roots and gone brunette again.
I'm not sure what on earth made the Vanderpump Rules star decide to orange it up, but it was sincerely one of the most unflattering and ridiculous dye jobs I've ever seen! Katie is a pretty girl and why she thought that was a good idea is beyond me. My theory she was trying to emulate BFF Stassi Schroeder or try to earn some distinction between herself and other totally insane brunette Kristen Doute!
Whatever the case, Katie shared photos of her new hair on instagram and she looks much better! In other news she is still together with Tom 2 after he tried to put her out like a fire. We need an intervention – for him.

Dd was whinny and clingy the whole day.
I have hit a wall and just don't feel like dealing with crap right now. We have five bills due by the 24th of this month. We can only pay two of them and put a little gas in our car. We don't know how the other bills are going to get paid. I have asked family and friends for money left and right, For the past few months. My dh has not got up the balls to ask anyone. I have also been the one to make the phone calls trying to get more time to pay our bills. Dh will not get up the balls to make these calls either. I want my dh to step up and do something about it all. I know he works but he off Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Stop leaving it up to me to find away. It's stressing me out. I can't do it.
I have tried talking to him and it does no good. He still thinks it up to me to make it all work out. All because he gets to nerves and embarrassed to ask. So now unless we finger out how all our bills will get paid. Our electric, gas, and car insurance will all be turned off or no longer affable.
Oh and let's not forget how I have been stretching food in the house. So it will last till the 4th of next month.
So I'm sitting in the recliner with a bag of pop corn, chocolate chip cookies, and a tall glass of sweet tea. Watching all my recorded shows. Just trying to relax and breath for a second. Because it just keeps getting worse.
