(Third Sunday of Easter)
Sunday Soundbites Archive
Hello, I'm Franciscan Father Greg Friedman, with the
Sunday Soundbite
for the Third Sunday of Easter. In human life, there's no substitute for daily, lived experience, no matter how much "book learning" you've had.
On these Sundays of Easter the Church teaches the newly-baptized--and all of us--how to live Christian life day by day. Selections from the
First Letter of Peter
and the
Acts of the Apostles
stress our witness to Christ in the real world. The Easter Gospels highlight how the Holy Spirit supports and guides the Church in that task.
Today's Gospel, perhaps the most powerful of the Resurrection stories, portrays what Christians have experienced in Eucharist since the beginning of the Church. Two disciples full of grief after the death of Jesus, flee Jerusalem to escape the tragic events of Good Friday.
On the road to Emmaus, the risen Lord meets them, explains the Scriptures, and they recognize him in the breaking of the bread.
Our experience, like Christians down through the ages, is identical. In the midst of human life--no matter where we find ourselves--Christians gather to share their common needs and gifts, strengths and weaknesses, fears and joys.
We break open the Scriptures so that Jesus may teach us. We break the bread and recognize Christ present. From the Eucharistic table we go out as the Body of Christ, ready to witness. In the Sundays that follow, our Scriptures will help us understand the consequences of that witness.
I'm Father Greg Friedman with the
Sunday Soundbite
for St. Anthony Messenger Press, on the web at FranciscanRadio.org.

Isabela City is the business center and capital of the Island province of Basilan, with its islets lies in the midst of the waters of the Celebes Sea, the Moro Gulf and the Sulu Sea, situated at the tip of the Zamboanga Peninsula.
In the ancient times, this beautiful island province was called "TAGUIMA", while Isabela was referred to by its ethnic groups (the Yakans, Samal Bangingih, Badjaos and Tausogs) as "PASANGAN", which name it still holds among the natives. In 1844 the Spaniards occupied "Pasangan", and in July of the following year was named Isabela, in honor of Queen Isabel II of Spain by Don Ramon Lubo, Marine Chief of Zamboanga and Don Catyetano Suarez de Fiqueroa, Governor of the District.
During the Spanish regime and the American occupation, Basilan was part of the Zamboanga Province, which then also included the Province of Zamboanga del Sur and Zamboanga del Norte. In 1937, the City of Zamboanga brought into existence and made Basilan as part of the newly created City.
On July 1, 1948 by virtue of Republic Act No. 288, sponsored by then Congressman Juan S. Alano, Basilan island became a chartered City, separating it from City of Zamboanga, with three Districts, namely – Isabela, Lamitan and Maluso. Mayor Nicasio Valderoza was the first appointed City Mayor, who served until December 31, 1953, when he retire, Leroy S. Brown took his oath as the next appointive Mayor of the City, who later became the first and the last elective Mayor of the City of Basilan.
On December 27, 1973, President Ferdinand E. Marcos issued Presidential Decree No. 356 creating Basilan Province. The Province had three Municipalities: Lamitan, Maluso and Isabela, the latter being its capital. Basilan City which previously had an area of about 1,359 square kilometers was left with an area of barely one square kilometer.
On December 2, 1974, P.D. 593 was issued amending P.D. 356 and increasing the area of Basilan Province to about 3 square kilometers and creating ten municipalities to comprise the province – Isabela, Lamitan, Maluso, Lantawan, Sumisip, Tipo-Tipo,Tuburan, Tapiantana, Malamawi and Pilas.
On December 11, 1975, Presidential Decree No. 840 was issued by President Marcos reducing the number of municipalities comprising the province from ten to seven, namely: Isabela, Lamitan, Maluso, Lantawan, Sumisip, Tipo-Tipo and Tuburan. The former City of Basilan and the Municipality of Malamawi were absorbed by the Municipality of Isabela with an area of about 22,373 hectares.
On December 12, 1975, Atty. Ricardo G. Mon, number one Councilor of the defunct City of Basilan, took his oath of office as Mayor of the Isabela Municipality before regional Commissioner Rear Admiral M. Espaldon in Zamboanga City. On January 1, 1976, Atty. Mon, officially assumed as Mayor of the Municipality of Isabela.
On March 5, 2001 Republic Act No. 9023 "An Act Converting the Municipality of Isabela, Province of Basilan into a component city to be known as the City of Isabela" was signed by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. Then on April 25, 2001 the Isabeleños ratified Isabela City.
Isabela started as a 5th class city in 2001 after its ratification, then by virtue of DOF Order No. 23-08 dated of July 29, 2008, the city became a 4th class city.
The following persons served as Mayors under this charter:

Hi, I need some advice, I went running this morning and ran 7 miles. I'm not really training for anything right now, although I would like to try a race in the fall, I just enjoy running and like to push myself. Anyways, I work 3 days a week and on my off days I try to get out and run for at least an hour. The past few times I've ran, I ran 5-6 miles, no big deal. So today I thought why not try 7? so I did. After I showered, I ate a tuna sandwich and then I was very sleepy and took a nap. But ever since I got up my knees feel swollen and it's hard to walk. I've been icing them and have taken 2 aleve's. Anybody have any advice?
My background: I'm 22, I started xc in Highschool and have been running off and on ever since. I like to think that running keeps me sane.
I am not sure why you would have problems with an additional mile, especially since you have been running on a regular basis. I would say evaluate your shoes and socks because those are the most likely contributors to knee swelling and pain. Utilize the RICE method, and be certain to elevate your legs. Be careful about tendinitis, bursitis and runner's knee.
One extra mile, by itself, shouldn't have made much of a difference. But was there anything else different, or more difficult, about that 7 mi run? For example, did it include a lot more hills than usual, or perhaps were you going at a significantly faster pace? Hopefully your knees have recovered since then.

In response to lawsuit over redistricting, Dallas says new boundaries don't 'dilute the voting strength of Hispanics'
We've been waiting for this a long time, and a morning skim through court filings finally turns up the city of Dallas' response to the redistricting lawsuit filed way back in July by Renato De Los Santos and Hilda Ramirez Duarte, two Dallas residents who insist last year's redistricting efforts shorted the growing adult Hispanic population at least one district. As in: "If the City of Dallas was divided into fairly drawn single member districts the Hispanic community is sufficiently large and geographically compact to elect four (4) candidates of their choice."
The city responded in July, well, it's done just that: "The City's redistricting plan establishes four districts where Hispanics comprise at least 62.5% of the population." Its response filed yesterday reiterates that point, but acknowledges that number doesn't guarantee anything:
Defendant admits that of the fourteen single-member districts in the City's new plan, at least three districts appear to be districts from which Hispanic voters may be able to elect candidates of their choice; but Defendant asserts that there may be additional districts from which candidates of Hispanic voters' choice may be elected: Four of the fourteen districts have a substantial majority Hispanic population.
As Thompson has explained, should this go to trial, the central debate will boil down to the number of adult Hispanics who live in Dallas (330,000, give or take) versus the number who are U.S. citizens eligible to vote (about 140,000, per a recent Census Bureau estimate). Wrote Steve last October, "Before the council's adoption last week of a new voting map, black leaders cited these numbers to argue that they should not lose a seat to make way for Hispanics."
In its response, the city "denies the allegation … that the City's existing single-member district system dilutes the voting strength of Hispanics; and also denies that the existing system cancels out, minimizes or dilutes the voting strength of Hispanics."
As for the map that has Delia Jasso and Scott Griggs drawn into the same district, the city says that's perfectly legal since the new map won't be used till the 2013 elections.

SubhanAllah. I am such a terrible blogger. No — I am such a terribly inconsistent blogger. As always, Facebook becomes my online home, I suppose because "every"body is there, and responses/feedback/rewards are quick and instant. Facebooking vs. blogging, to me, is akin to texting/instant-messaging vs. letter-writing. I think.
Anyway, I am back in the UK, for two years this time inshaAllah. Shall not mention anything academic-related because they are not worth talking about, srsly.
I wanted to share my mother's blog, actually. Although she blogs in Malay (BM) at the moment, because the stories are about her hajj experience. Reading her entries so far induced several thoughts in my head, among others:
- How blogging, or really the act of sharing pieces of one's life online, either through videos or photos or writing, etc. can become a powerful tool. What you put out there can make a difference, you know. I think blogging itself may be on the decline, only because there are so many other new forms of expression and socialising now, but I am quite happy to see that people are finding the courage to have their say.
- My mum is actually a good writer! She has always been, I think, because I distinctly remember how she told me she got excellent marks in school karangan (essay-writing) back in the day. I was struggling doing my karangan homework one day (this was like… a decade ago) and she told me how she always put a twist into her stories. For instance, the question topic would be to write about a perkelahan (family outing) at some waterfall, and she'd concoct something entirely unexpected like how a kid ended up drowning that day and everybody came home in a somber mood. 'Course, at that time I'd go "… " and continue to write a typical "went there, saw nature, swam, picnic, had fun, went home" story, but yeah, her entries definitely show a skill of story-telling. (Not many people can make readers cry, yo! C-R-Y!)
- How important family members, relatives and friends are. Especially in panicky, crucial, momentous times like in my mum's case (ie. last-minute hajj invitation). I wrote on FB recently how once upon a time, I envisioned living as a hermit, because I never understood the need for social interaction or indeed, having people in your life. I was always the child who "kept gold in her mouth" and didn't understand why the adults would ask me questions about school or my favourite subject. I was always the teen who complained about having to visit relatives at their home, or make small talk with the aunties, or talk to the guests when they sat in the living room. But, of course, sense and maturity finally landed in my brain at some point, and now I understand. I understand how people who care about each other make it a point to meet and communicate and ask if everything is going alright. I understand how Allah's help can be channeled through His servants, right when we need it. I understand how social interaction can make you feel better, feel alive, feel human. And I understand how people are interested in what you have to say, how you think, and in finding out what kind of person you are. Alhamdulillah, I understand.
Related to point #1, discovering this YouTube channel also reminded me of how small efforts can also be significant. A video such as the one below would help so many kids and teens because they too can relate:
(And the fact that they are two very funny hijabi Bengali sisters just make them all the more likeable mashaAllah! )
Toodles, wassalam!

Foster City Elementary students raise $7,000 for Leukemia, Lymphoma Society
The Foster City Elementary School students and families recently set a record for the school -- and surpassed last year's donation by almost $2,000 -- by donating more than $7,000 to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society through its Pennies for Patients campaign.
Over the past 12 years, the school has raised and donated nearly $50,000 to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, the world's largest voluntary health agency dedicated to blood cancer.
Each class kept track of their daily collections during the three-week endeavor. Tara Dixon's first-grade class raised the most money with a total of $1,057. Michele McLaughlin's first-grade class came in second with $430. Both classes received coupons for a pizza party. Also, all classes that raised more than $300 received a gold pennant to display in their classroom; more than $200, a silver pennant; and more than $100, a bronze pennant.
"The response by our students raising a new record amount this year is another example of their empathy and willingness to give help/relief to others, one of the focuses of our Life Skills program," said Principal David Holcombe in an email. "We have participated for several years with this campaign and the Foster City School community really stepped up this year (as they have done in the past). We hope that our contribution to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society helps find a cure."
Highland Elementary student presented with American flag
As a kickoff to Highland Elementary School's field day event on June 11 in San Mateo, Student Body President Matthew Phua was presented with a very special American flag in behalf of the student body.
The flag was a token of the 297th Area Support Medical Company's appreciation for the letters and support sent by Highlands Elementary students during the medical company's tour in Iraq.
Sgt. 1st Class Bobby Im presented the flag, which had been flown over the 297th Area Support Medical Company headquarters on COB (Continuity Operating Base) Basra, Iraq, on Sept. 11, 2011, for 297 minutes. Im's son, Jeremy, was by his father's side as he made the presentation and the entire student body was also present. Sgt. 1st Class Im reported that his entire company returned home safely.
Principal Maria Majka commented in an email, "I am so proud of our students and the effort they made to support the 297th Area Support Medical Company. They wrote letters and sent pictures and drawings to the soldiers for over 18 months and this flag is a great reminder."
The flag was accompanied by a framed certificate that expressed the 297th Area Support Medical Company's thanks and certified that it had been flown over the company's headquarters.
Acclaimed author, poet gives keynote speech at Peninsula Conflict Resolution Center event
Luis Rodriguez, acclaimed author, poet, and social justice advocate, gave the keynote address at the Peninsula Conflict Resolution Center's Be the Key: Transform Your Community Fundraiser Luncheon held June 14 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Foster City.
Rodriguez shared his long journey of transformation from his life of violence as a gang member to a life of compassion as a community leader. His Holiness the Dalai Lama recognizes him as one of the "Unsung Heroes of Compassion."
"One person reaching out, someone caring, changed my life," said Rodriguez. "A community gets strong when it knows how to handle trouble. People need to find what things unite us. I think we all agree that we want education, well-being, peace and safety for our children.
"Whatever happens put it in your heart that we want the well-being of our children. Hold your ground!"
A video showed how the city of South San Francisco has collaborated with the Peninsula Conflict Resolution Center to combat violence among youth in its city.
John Bejarano, of San Mateo, a Peninsula Conflict Resolution Center volunteer for more than 18 years, Advisory Council chair, and member of the Benefactor Circle, was honored with the John McNellis Award for his outstanding service to the center.
Chief Susan Manheimer and the San Mateo Police Department earned the Community Partnership Award for collaborating with the Peninsula Conflict Resolution Center to bring about community change in San Mateo through the Strengthening Neighborhoods Program. The program has led to a decrease in violence and gang activity, and an increase in active participation by residents that has fostered a safer neighborhood.
Toni Barrack, the center's board chairwoman, presented the awards; Debra Gerardi, board member, served as master of ceremonies; and Michelle Vilchez, executive director, welcomed about 350 people to the event.
Members of Mural Music & Arts Project in East Palo Alto opened the program with a performance of spoken word poetry.
The event's sponsors and their sponsorship level were: Michele and John McNellis and The Herbst Foundation, Partners; Katy and John Bejarano, Friends; and Borel Private Bank & Trust Company, First National Bank of Northern California, Chief Susan Manheimer and the San Mateo Police Department, Leslie Airola-Murveit and Hy Murveit, San Mateo Daily Journal, and Jackie and Steve Kane, supporters.
Founded in 1986, Peninsula Conflict Resolution Center's mission is to promote collaborative engagement by bringing people together, facilitating conversation, and building these skills in the community. The nonprofit trains people to communicate and solve problems together, facilitates group meetings, builds skills for public participation, and, as a neutral third party, assists people in forming mutually acceptable agreement.

Singer, actor Harry Belafonte speaks at HIP Housing event
Harry Belafonte, legendary singer, actor, and activist, was the guest speaker at HIP Housing's (Human Investment Project) 40th Anniversary Luncheon celebrated June 15 at the Hotel Sofitel in Redwood City.
J. Anthony Villanueva, president of HIP Housing's board of directors, welcomed about 370 community members who attended the event in tribute to the agency's four decades of success in helping people find affordable housing in San Mateo County.
Belafonte gave an inspiring speech, drawing the connection between his humble beginnings and the support he received that helped him be successful, and the work that HIP Housing does to help people in need.
"I was born in poverty," said Belafonte, who also held a book signing for his new book, "My Song, A Memoir."
"I had two choices: I could acquiesce to the negative or I could fight against it."
Two HIP Housing clients -- Clara Perez, Home Sharing participant, and Daisy Salmeron, Self-Sufficiency participant -- also shared their stories of success.
Perez nearly became homeless until she was referred to HIP Housing's Home Sharing program, enabling her to have a place to call home by becoming a housemate and a watchful eye for a 94-year-old homeowner. They soon became good friends who looked out for each other.
"Thanks to shared housing, it has turned out to be a win-win situation," said Perez. "So thank you, HIP Housing, for allowing me to be a part of this home sharing experience."
Salmeron, a single mother of two children, decided to go back to school to become a nurse but realized her work schedule would delay her reaching her goal for several years. After spotting a sign about HIP Housing's Self-Sufficiency program, she decided to apply and within a few months, she was accepted.
"It has been roughly five years since becoming part of the HIP Housing family and I have accomplished so much," said Salmeron. "Last year, I earned an associate degree in biology with an emphasis in human health from Canada College. But one of my biggest accomplishments was getting accepted to the College of San Mateo's nursing program. I just completed my first year."
Sky Hill, on behalf of the office of her husband, Assemblyman Jerry Hill, presented a proclamation from the State Assembly to Executive Director Kate Comfort Harr in honor of the HIP Housing's 40th anniversary.
Congresswoman Jackie Speier told the audience that Harry Belafonte is an unsung hero of the civil rights movement. She then led a live auction to raise money for HIP Housing's affordable housing programs.
Wells Fargo was the major event sponsor. Other sponsors included Mills-Peninsula Health Services, Borel Private Bank & Trust Co., and Pacific Gas and Electric Company.
HIP Housing's programs -- Home Sharing, Self-Sufficiency, and Property Development -- provide creative affordable housing solutions for more than 1,000 individuals in San Mateo County each year.

The Harrison County Sheriff's Department continues to investigate an armed robbery that occurred over the weekend.
According to Deputy Nathan Gasser, an armed male entered a residence Sunday morning on Ky Hwy 392, demanding medication.
As of Monday morning, no arrests in the case have been made.
For the complete story, see this week's print edition of The Cynthiana Democrat.
The Cynthiana City Commission passed a new ordinance Tuesday night that instructs all city employees to remove signs from utility poles.
The ordinance was effective yesterday.
Billy Grayson, commissioner of public utilities, made a special motion because, he said, the ordinance will greatly improve the appearance of the city.
The hanging of signs on utility poles is illegal, but some people seem to do it regardless, he said.
A former Harrison Memorial Hospital emergency room doctor is listed in fair condition at a Lexington hospital after a Saturday wreck in Scott County.
At about 4:30 p.m., Dr. Michael Chestnut was driving a 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue near his residence on Thistle Way when he ran off the road, struck a utility pole and went into a creek.
Chestnut was traveling alone in his vehicle and no other vehicles were involved, according to the report filed by Scott County Deputy Jeremy Johnson.
Chestnut was transported to UK Medical Center by Georgetown-Scott County EMS.
Effective immediately, Countryside Industries, Inc., of Lexington, Ky., will be handling Harrison County's dead livestock removal.
Griffin Industries, the former service provider, is no longer doing livestock removal.
The service is free to any Harrison County resident and will be paid for by grants and Harrison County Fiscal Court.
If you have dead livestock that you need removed, please call 859-234-0004.
For any questions about this change contact Alex Barnett at 859-234-7136 or the Harrison County Extension Office at 859-234-5510.
Cynthiana and Harrison County residents should have received mail from the City of Cynthiana Water Department within the past weeks.
The 2009 annual water quality report was mailed to customers, informing them of a notice of violation.
"People get concerned when they see this," said supervisor Harry Johnson. "I don't blame them."
The NOV (notice of violation), issued by the Kentucky Division of Water, claims that the department failed to complete a volatile organic compound test last year.
The Harrison County Board of Education postponed the approval of the first reading of a policy regarding booster club fundraisers until it can get legal advice.
The proposed policy would require school district booster clubs to submit a monthly financial report to the appropriate principal. The principals would then submit these copies as part of their monthly reports to the board.
Berry postmaster Judy Woodworth would like for the person or persons who took the post office's large trash can to know that even though the trash in the can was not first class mail, the theft of the can still constitutes a felony offense.
A Cynthiana woman who was named as a codefendant in an indictment for complicity to first degree robbery, was also charged with second degree escape.
Jerrica McCord, 23, faces an escape charge after having been charged with a felony on May 20, and then escaping from custody.
Harrison County Jailer Larry Turner testified before the grand jury on Tuesday on McCord's escape.
She is also alleged to have taken property belonging to Santos Perales and conspired with Darrell Benton, who allegedly used or threatened the use of physical force on Perales.
Law enforcement officials released the name last week of the Falmouth man killed in last Wednesday morning's single-car accident on US 27 North.
According to the report taken by Harrison County Sheriff's Deputy Nathan Gasser, Clarence Hoskins, 62, was driving northbound at 9:40 a.m. when his vehicle exited the right shoulder of the road and struck a driveway culvert.
The report says Hoskin's 2001 Honda Odyssey became airborne, striking two parked tractors.
Harrison County native Tony Hunt, 41, has joined the advertising team at The Cynthiana Democrat/Harrison Shopper.
A 1987 Harrison County High School graduate, Hunt began his advertising consultant position on July 5.
"It's been exciting," Hunt said about his first few weeks at the Democrat.
Hunt graduated from Brescia University with a bachelor's degree in business administration.
After college, he was a golf professional for five years, followed by 10 years in the communications industry.

Careers at MTB
Our approach to finding new talent is to accept applications and resumes throughout the year. We may not have an immediate requirement for your skill set, but when the need arises we want to have a number of candidates that have the right skills and experience.
MTB is essentially a service business, and our success is almost entirely dictated by the quality and commitment of our people. In order to compete, and win business, we must be better than our competition and we need to create value for our Customer with every job that we do. To achieve this level of success, we work in a collaborative environment where everyone contributes with their ideas on how to work smarter every day. This requires that we work together to find better ways of repairing and overhauling equipment and solving complex technical problems on transit equipment. If you are simply looking for a job and you want your boss to stay out of your way, MTB is not the right place for you. However, if you want to be challenged and you are energized by continually being asked how we can do things better, smarter, faster and safer then you are at the right place.
What kind of work is available?
Our main work deals with vehicle and system overhaul at our facility in Milton, Ontario – just west of Toronto. In addition, we also provide technical support services to a number of major transit vehicle suppliers. These "Tech Support" jobs are typically located in Toronto and could be contract jobs of a fixed duration, or long term roles working for MTB and supporting our supplier's products in the market.
I'm young and do not have a lot of experience - do I have a shot at a job with MTB?
Our team is made up of a diverse group of people with varying backgrounds and experiences. Many of our people started in the transit business at a young age and we value the energy and capabilities that youth brings to our business and our industry. The people that we hire are all committed and responsible people that want to work as part of a team to achieve great results. From a technical standpoint, if you don't have years of experience, we look for training and education in your trade to help you contribute from day one. Provided you have the right attitude, we will invest in you to further advance your skills and capabilities.Want to drop us a line or send us your resume?

The first goal was a disaster - get rid of Gilberto! And the second should never have happened, but overall I thought we played reasonably well. We had all of the possession (seemed to me that we must have had at least 60% if not more), seemed a couple of paces quicker, defense was a little shaky - but it was patchwork. I thought Gunter had a good game, hats off to Zokora (apart from the clanger) as he's been playing everywhere of late and really has shown his versatility and sense of doing what's necessary for the team, What we really missed was a striker - we made the chances (although Bentley's crosses sure have been leaving a lot to be desired lately), but we did not take advantage of them. We could have had at least one penalty (the Campbell take down). So a patchwork team made a great comeback to beat an average team.

Last week in Bon Mots, we taught you how to talk about twins like Prisca and Jenna, and dopplegangers like Claire and Virginie.
Today, our word is pressé, which means both "fresh-squeezed" and "squeezed for time." So...
"Veux-tu l'orange pressée?" means, "Do you want some fresh orange juice?"
"Je suis pressée!" means, "I'm in a hurry!"
(And if you are in a hurry, pare down your makeup routine. Use a foundation with sunscreen like UV Plus with SPF 40, and try a bold lip color, which is easy to apply and adds instant punch to any look.
You might also want to try wearing lower heels, like these Nicholas Kirkwoods, which are both stylish and easy to wear as you sprint down the sidewalk...)

Men charged with assaulting Erie police
Erie police have charged two Millcreek Township men with assaulting officers during a fight downtown Sunday morning.
Jerry L. Elliott III, 25, and Joshua J. Haight, 24, are accused of assaulting the officers after police on patrol early Sunday stopped to check on a large crowd gathered at 10th and State streets at about 1:20 a.m.
When officers tried to break up a fight at the intersection, police said, Elliott grabbed an officer from behind "in a violent manner" and tried to pull the officer to the ground.
Police said Haight grabbed an officer from behind and landed on top of the officer, according to criminal complaints filed in the case.
Elliott, of the 2400 block of Rollahome Drive, and Haight, of the 3000 block of West 25th Street, were taken into custody and later arraigned before Erie 4th Ward District Judge Tom Robie on charges of aggravated assault, resisting arrest, obstructing the administration of law, disorderly conduct and public drunkenness.
Elliott and Haight were each placed in the Erie County Prison on $15,000 bond.

tacky, tacky, tacky.
Me + DH = James 11/10/10 and Aubrey 03/27/13
Felicia I think it's a lot of reasons why people lack compassion. I just think that people need to overcome it. I've never imagined that I would see or hear about people getting shot or hit by a car and no one even calls for help.
I'd never heard of the store before. My sister told me it's a good place to get jeans. *shrugs*
I know too that her sister was struggling with bills and worried about the kids Christmas (all 5 of them!); not that it has anything to do with her. If you don't want to help your sister out, that's fine but, that makes posting the receipt even more tacky.
We shared candy, fell in love and had a baby... that's our story. | On a journey to lose 100 lbs: -74.4
I just scared my friend.. She asked what I was doing and I said playing with these frogs that dropped from the sky. She was like "Wahh?" I was like yea, it was crazy, the sky turned red and I get hit by a frog.. I'm having a bad day"
she wrote back "I'm going to go get my babies Oh No!"
I tried calling her phone but kept getting voicemail. Now I feel bad =/. Folks are serious about the end of the world.
In love with blue x 2
Pfft, I have my own problems.

LOL. Hell is calling you
My sisters are at Civil War regarding Vegas.....
We are booked at Bellagio two nights this weekend. Got a great rate considering it is Bellagio. However, my parents timeshare is available; about 6 mins off the strip.
Bellagio is one room, two queen beds. 4 of us are going. Upgrades, etc. On the strip.
Timeshare is off the strip but two bedrooms, one with a King the other with two Queens plus a Murphy bed in the living room. Everyone would have their own bed. Plus there is a kitchenette and washer/dryer.
Naturally, I'm down to cancel Bellagio and stay at the timeshare. Bigger, less money or possibly no money. My parents just use their points.
One sister wants Bellagio for the "Vegas experience." The other wants more spending money so she's on board with the timeshare. The 4th girl is my sister's friend. I'll give her a vote later. Lol.
This is annoying. Anyway, what would you guys do?

It looks like newlyweds Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher haven't started any Christmas traditions in their family just yet. "We're not a big tradition kind of family and Mike and I can't seem to be, either, because of his hockey madness around the holidays, so it's not like we can be in a certain place at a certain time on Christmas," Carrie told Fox News on Monday (Dec. 5) prior to the American Country Awards [1], where Carrie picked up three awards, including Female Artist of the Year and Music Video and Single of the Year, Female, for "Mama's Song."
New Year's Eve is another story, though. "Mike and I [had our] first date on New Year's Eve," says Carrie. "That was like our first date, first kiss. [It was] like, 'Five, four, three, two, one, happy New Year's! Smooch, smooch.' It's kind of our unofficial anniversary," says the singer, who married former Ottawa Senators and current Nashville Predators hockey player Mike Fisher in July 2010.
For now, Carrie is in the studio working on her upcoming fourth album, the follow-up to 2009's Play On, though she says a release date has not been set. "No official date. I know that's all very strategic and people got to figure out when the exact right date is. I have nothing to do with that. I'm just like, 'I want to sing new stuff.' It's going to be really good. I'm very excited. I'm having trouble trimming it down. There's too many good songs."

Timo Jokela , University of Oulu

We carried out eight assessments of usability engineering processes in four industrial companies, for the purpose of providing a basis for process improvement. The research method was an empirical and iterative one: we carried out assessments, gathered data to understand the success criteria of assessments, and developed step by step an assessment method.

The new assessment method has a new kind of process model and is implemented in workshops. The success criteria include issues such as: an assessment is expected to be an effective training occasion; the understandability of the concepts of an assessment approach and the results of an assessment are more important than a standard assessment approach; an assessment should focus on the usability engineering substance of processes rather than on the management of processes. Assessment maturity should be checked before a formal assessment is initiated.

Fashion For Obama
|Designer Diane von Furstenberg shows off an Obama pin. (Credit: Getty Images) Click to enlarge.
At New York fashion week, many men sported Obama T-shirts. Vogue features editor Sally Singer was among the women who pinned Obama buttons on their blouses.
Ikram Goldman, owner of the upscale Chicago boutique Ikram, went a step further to show her support for her hometown candidate. Sitting in the front row at the Narciso Rodriguez show on Tuesday night, she wore a black dress cobbled together from Barack Obama silk-screened shirts that she said she picked up in Harlem.
"Obviously, it is one of a kind," said Ms. Goldman, who had her store's seamstresses make four of the dresses out of 25 shirts. "This is going to be my fashion week wardrobe," she added. "I am wearing it in Europe, too."
Ms. Goldman acknowledged that the fashion establishment leans toward the Democratic side of the aisle, noting an absence of what she called "McCain pieces" at the tents in New York's Bryant Park. –Rachel Dodes

The Cache store provides caching capabilities for stores. The Cache store takes two stores, a master store and caching store. The master store is considered the data authority, all modifications go to the master store, and when data is not available in the cache, it is retrieved from the master store. The caching store is used to record cached data from master store. Doing get() and query() call results are added to the cache (unless they don't meet provided criteria), but only get() uses the cache, whereas query() uses the master store. If you want to a query to come from the cache, directly call query() on the caching store. Data modifications are also mirrored in the caching store. A typical usage of dojo/store/Cache would be to use a JsonRest store as the master store, and a Memory store as the caching store.
restStore = new JsonRest(...);
memoryStore = new Memory();
store = new Cache(restStore, memoryStore);
store.get(1) -> Returns the object with an id of 1 by making a GET request
store.get(1) -> Returns the object, using the local memory cache
store.put({id:2, name:"two"}) -> Stores the object in both master and cache store
store.get(2) -> Returns the object, using the local memory cache
A Cache store wrapper is created by calling the dojo.store.Cache constructor with the master store as the first parameter, the caching store as the second parameter, and an optional "options" parameter as a third argument.
The options parameter may be object with the following optional methods:

Hey, Democrats: It's all about regulations
Published: Friday, August 5, 2011 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, August 4, 2011 at 12:16 p.m.
Some Democrats believe the way to improve our economy is to borrow and spend another trillion stimulus dollars, while some Republicans believe the answer is reducing taxes. On the contrary, the real problem with our sagging economy comes from the oppressive regulations that are continuing to pile up from both the federal government and state governments.
Fogle welcomes your comments at email@example.com
Democrats are fond of saying that since we had a good economy during the Clinton administration, perhaps we should revert back to Clinton-era tax rates. Indeed, that would be an attractive bargain if we also reverted to the regulations of that period.
It's extremely unrealistic to think our economy will ever improve as long as we keep piling on more and more regulations, such as the odious Dodd-Frank bill of a year ago. To further illustrate Democrats' detachment from reality, we hear bogus offers, like the one floated by President Barack Obama and others, to eliminate "unnecessary" regulations. Yeah, right. While we are at it, let's eliminate all "unnecessary" spending, too. But whose definition of "unnecessary" are we going to use? Using my definition, every regulation imposed since January 2009 should be eliminated.
The glaring display of unreality brings to mind the extravagant words of Charles Dickens, describing the oblivious French aristocrats prior to the French revolution: "The leprosy of unreality disfigured every human creature in attendance upon Monseigneur." Substitute Democratic leadership for Monseigneur and you have today's tragic situation.
Fortunately, there is one faint glimmer of reality coming from the White House, but not enough to change anything. At a recent meeting of the National Association of Manufacturers, White House Chief of Staff Bill Daley listened attentively to business leaders complain about tyrannical regulations and finally said, "Sometimes you can't defend the indefensible." Well said, Mr. Daley.
In a recent column in Investors Business Daily, Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., reported that federal regulators added 3,573 new rules in 2010, and an additional 24,914 pages of rules were added to the Federal Register. And it gets worse. There are currently 4,257 new regulations in the pipeline — about to raise their ugly heads and further damage the U.S. economy. Sen. Johnson has proposed that we impose a moratorium on new regulations, which he says are injecting uncertainty into our economy.
Sen. Johnson is being diplomatic. There is very little uncertainty. The existing and pending regulations are actually creating certainty — certainty that the economy will continue to flail about at its current level or worse.
It's as if our economy is a drowning man, and instead of throwing a life preserver, we are steadily tossing anchors in his direction.
There are hundreds of simple acts that could be done to rapidly improve the jobs picture, but we have space to only focus on a few.
In addition to repealing Dodd-Frank and Obamacare, we should immediately reverse the moratorium on drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. Ten of the large drilling rigs have already left for friendlier waters. Removing obstacles to drilling in ANWR and to shale oil and gas production should be done as well.
It is utterly absurd that millions of people remain on the unemployment rolls while a few bureaucrats with cushy federal jobs prohibit domestic energy production.
Or, as Mr. Daley so aptly put it, it is indefensible.
"When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion — when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing — when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors … you may know that your society is doomed." — Ayn Rand, "Atlas Shrugged."

By Jason Kosena
Another dire forecast hit lawmakers on Monday with the unveiling of the Joint Budget Committee's recommendation for balancing the 2008-'09 fiscal year budget during a rare joint session of the House and Senate.
The answer? Transfer cash funds and reserves into the General Fund, cut some state programs and hold
off as much pain as possible until next year.
The budget deficit for the 2008-'09 fiscal year, which ends in June, is estimated to be at nearly $625 million, economists told lawmakers Monday, and because the state is already more than half way through the current fiscal year, cutting some budgets in midstream could prove difficult.
So the six-member JBC is instead recommending a $230.9 million transfer of cash funds, using $148.6 million from state reserves and a sixfold increase on fees for drilling of new water wells.
Also in the plan is $124.8 million in cuts from the General Fund in 17 different areas, including $5.8 million from the state's correctional facilities, $65.3 million less for K-12 education, a $30 million cut from higher education and a $35 million cut from the Treasury.
"It's a bad year, and this (report) represents that," said state Rep. Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver, a member of the JBC, adding that some reprieve might be in sight from the federal stimulus dollars signed into law by President Barack Obama this week.
The mood in the House chamber during the presentation was somber.
Colorado Chief Economist Natalie Mullis told lawmakers that the worst of the recession probably has yet to arrive, and that she expects further job losses and revenue reductions throughout 2009.
"Unfortunately for Colorado, we are no more able to escape this global storm than a ship can escape a storm on the seas," Mullis said, adding that 35,000 Colorado jobs were lost in the fourth quarter of 2008 and that the state expects to see a 23 percent decrease in revenues from income tax and a 26 percent decrease in revenues from capital-gains taxes.
"While we do have a recovery in our forecast, it's not a very fast recovery," Mullis said.
Because more than half the money allotted for the 2008-'09 fiscal year has been spent, the JBC recommended pushing much of the deficit into the 2009-'10. That way, the budget committee can start with a clean slate and can avoid cutting programs that are in progress.
"We're handling '08-'09 budget now, but '09-'10 is going to be different," said JBC member Rep. Don Marostica, R-Loveland. "We don't know how we are going to handle that yet. I am already on record that I think (the deficit) is going to be more. Based on the business groups I talk to, we are really in poor condition now, and the shortfall could be another $100 million to $200 million more than it's at today."
Marostica said the state still has some reserves it can use to balance any remaining shortfalls and some additional cash funds.
"And we have to cut more in the general fund," he said. "The solution is that we have to balance the budget. We have no choice."

Anxiety and stress will make you blind … fact?
Actually if you look at it this way you will understand what I mean …
'Nobody ever got blind by looking at the brighter side of life'
So if you don't look at the brighter side of life, you may go blind. Not a true blindness, but you will fail to see the nicer things in life. You will not smile at a child's laugh, you will fail to feel happy when you see an amazing sunset, you will fail to feel joy at the birth of a friends or family member's baby.
Stress and anxiety does distort your vision. It affects how you see the world around you. You will enjoy life less and as a result, stress and anxiety levels will continue to climb.
How can you stop stress and anxiety blindness?
Simple. Just look at the brighter side of life. I know it may be hard when you are totally stressed out. But there a lot of things you can do …
Go for a walk, whether it is in winter, spring or summer. Get outside and look up. Not vertical but look up at an angle of about fifteen degrees. This allows you brain to access the level of mind that releases stress and anxiety.
You also get to see the tops of the trees, the clouds in the sky and the birds flying by. Get out and walk, just breathing while you walk helps to relieve stress and anxiety.
A simple thing to do is to do the 'Peter Pan'. This means think of happy thoughts, even if there are very few at present. Look into the past for memories, look into the future as being brighter and create the feeling that life is great now.
Anxiety and stress distorts your views on life. They make you feel that the brighter side of life doesn't exist. But it does. Your view is distorted, not reality.
Thinking happier thoughts on a regular basis is a great way to ease a lot of the day to day tensions. It builds up a resistance to the bigger stress and anxiety events. After all it is said that laughter is the best medicine.
If you can't think happy thoughts, or find it harder to look at the brighter side of life, then have a break and watch a funny movie or TV program. Kick yourself into action to see the brighter side of things.
If life is still full of stress and anxiety and you can't see the brighter side of things … you need to do something about your stress and anxiety levels. You need to use techniques to help address your stress and use ways to reprogram your mind to eliminate your stress and anxiety.
Stress and anxiety will create ill health, either it is now or it will eventually eat away at your health. Then you will not only have the emotional stress and anxiety, you will have health anxiety and stress also.
You need to look at ways to address the underling causes of your anxiety and stress. Do not just look at the situations or events that trigger tem. Look at the 'whys' and 'hows' of stress and anxiety. Why do you suffer and how can you stop suffering.
It is a matter of teaching yourself to repel stress and anxiety, then and only then will your stress levels melt away. Without stress and anxiety you will automatically … look at the brighter side of life.

When The Brain Is Prepared To Read ~ Miracles Happen!
Just when you least expect it!
Listen to what a mom has experienced with her daughter after the Little Giant Steps (LGS) Neuro-Educational Program:
As you know, Shannon has always had difficulty reading and comprehending and has never just sat down to read for the fun of it. I sent her to work with her father Thur. and Fri. He gathered a couple of books and off they went. After her program was finished, she was not allowed to do anything but read or sit quietly. To our shock and amazement, she read all 3 books during those 2 days. They are "Junie B. Jones" books, not exactly War and Peace, but they are chapter books and they were all about 85 pages. I was glad that she used her time wisely, but did not want to think a turn-around had occurred for fear of being disappointed, once again.
She continued to read over the weekend, when she DID have other options. So yesterday morning we went to the library and got 3 more books, plus the "Junie B. Jones" books on audio CD. She sat down in the library and started to read right then.
And do you know, by this morning, she's on her 3rd book….3RD BOOK…this has NEVER happened in her 12 yrs of life. She keeps saying, "I can't believe I like to read now!"
As you may recall, one of my frustrations has been her attitude toward her Little Giant Steps Program, to the point of calling the activities stupid on a daily basis. After stating for the 3rd time, "I can't believe I like to read now!", I used that as a teaching moment, asking her if she felt that way a year ago, before starting the LGS program. Her reply was no. I reminded her the only thing she has done differently this past year, was her LGS program. She agreed, but said she didn't understand how "tuck in blast out' or any of the other activities was helping her brain. I asked if she knew how her bicycle was put together and how the gears and brake system work. She said no. I said, well, think of your brain as your bike. You don't know "how' exactly the gears and brakes work, but you "know" they WILL when you get on to ride. You may not know "how" these activities have helped your brain, but you now realize they HAVE, so jump in and keep working to get even more improvement.
I told her how proud we are and emphasized that this "giant step" forward is truly a miracle from the Lord. He heard our many, many cries and I mean CRIES and gave us a program to not just help her, but heal her. While we have miles to go before we sleep, our hope for her future has never been brighter. Thank you, Ruth, for your continued effort to encourage and challenge Shannon. ~ L. T.

Padres shaken, stirred
Written by | Chris Jenkins | 4:27 p.m., Apr 4, 2010
Its right field foul pole swaying like a metronome, its tall light standards and fixtures snapping, Petco Park proved its mettle during yesterday's 6.9 earthquake. Players taking part in their final pre-season workout of 2010, meanwhile, were more rattled than their ballpark.
"It was [fi]loud[fr] on the field," said third baseman Chase Headley. "Sounded like a plane was about to land right next to us. Scared me to death."
Second baseman David Eckstein's played most of his major league career with Southern California teams, but said none of the previous tremblors he'd experienced approached the intensity of yesterday's shake.
"I'd never been in one where I was standing on the ground, and at first I was a little confused," he said. "Then I heard Hoffy (coach Glenn Hoffman) and Jerry (Hairston, a teammate) yell "Earthquake!" and we all moved to the center of the field. If anything fell I wasn't going to be in a position for it to fall on me."
A few of those inside the clubhouse at the time said they were light-headed, one team official saying it "felt like a tractor was about to come through the wall."

Anyone going to Santander's Picasso event at the Guggenheim tomorrow?
How did one get a invitation to this event? Was there a stock share amount that had to be met? interesting.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
I was contacted by a rep from Santander shareholder relations. Phone conversations were through someone at Sovereign Bank out of Boston. I'm not sure if it was based on a minimum amount of stock, though there seemed to be mostly heavy hitters at the Guggenheim, I think there was a guy there holding as few #$%$0000 shares.
Oh I wish I could. It's 1000's of miles from me. I would love to see it. Maybe someone will post some photos somewhere.
Sorry, brumm, no photos allowed in the Guggenheim. About 20 Santander shareholders were treated like true owners of the company Thursday evening -- a novelty for American owners of stock. We were wined and dined (delightful Spanish wines and tapas) at the Guggenheim's Wright Restaurant for about an hour, then a short talk by the head of U.S. operations (sorry, I didn't catch his name). The most interesting thing to learn was that Santander will begin rebranding Sovereign Banks into Banco Santander -- bringing us up to speed with the rest of the world. We were then given a private guided tour of the Guggenheim and Picasso exhibit. It was inspirational. On the way out, my wife and I were given a Santander bag containing a hardcover book on the Picasso exhibit and a bottle of Spanish olive oil. The entire event was a relatively small occasion in the larger scheme of things, but I'm delighted with Santander's unique, genuine show of appreciation, and I simply couldn't be a happier shareholder.
If Yahoo will let allow me to post a url, I'll post some pix Friday.
