People tweet more than 100 Million times daily, yielding a noisy, informal, but sometimes informative corpus of 140-character messages that mirrors the zeitgeist in an unprecedented manner. The performance of standard NLP tools is severely degraded on tweets. This paper addresses this issue by rebuilding the NLP pipeline beginning with part-of-speech… (More)

Tweets are the most up-to-date and inclusive stream of in- formation and commentary on current events, but they are also fragmented and noisy, motivating the need for systems that can extract, aggregate and categorize important events. Previous work on extracting structured representations of events has focused largely on newswire text; Twitter's unique… (More)

Whereas people learn many different types of knowledge from diverse experiences over many years, most current machine learning systems acquire just a single function or data model from just a single data set. We propose a never-ending learning paradigm for machine learning, to better reflect the more ambitious and encompassing type of learning performed by… (More)

We propose the first unsupervised approach to the problem of modeling dialogue acts in an open domain. Trained on a corpus of noisy Twitter conversations, our method discovers dialogue acts by clustering raw utterances. Because it accounts for the sequential behaviour of these acts, the learned model can provide insight into the shape of communication in a… (More)

Part-of-speech information is a prerequisite in many NLP algorithms. However, Twitter text is difficult to part-of-speech tag: it is noisy, with linguistic errors and idiosyncratic style. We present a detailed error analysis of existing taggers, motivating a series of tagger augmentations which are demonstrated to improve performance. We identify and… (More)

We present a data-driven approach to generating responses to Twitter status posts, based on phrase-based Statistical Machine Translation.

The Rose Bowl game between USC and Penn State may be the best bowl game outside of the College Football Playoff games. 2016-17 Rose Bowl, Penn State vs. USC, Date, time, location.
The 2016-2017 Rose Bowl may be part of the New Year's Six, but it will not be played on New Year's Day. Instead, Big Ten champion Penn State and USC, the highest-ranked non-Playoff team from the Pac-12, will meet on Jan. 2, thanks to the bowl's long-standing tradition of playing on that date when New Year's Day falls on a Sunday.
No single event captures college football in all its glory and peculiarity quite like the Rose Bowl, held in picturesque Pasadena for all but one of those 102 games.
Here is everything you need to know in preparation for this year's Rose Bowl.
USC vs Penn State Live Stream
Date and time: Jan. 2, 5 p.m. ET
TV channel: ESPN
Location: Pasadena, California
Stadium: Rose Bowl
Last year's score: Stanford 45, Iowa 16
Last year's attendance: 94,268
Teams with the most all-time appearances: USC, 33
Teams with the most all-time wins: USC, 24
Penn State (11-2, 8-1 in Big Ten)
We're about a week-and-a-half away from seeing No. 5 Penn State and No. 9 Southern California meet in "The Granddaddy of Them All," and to help break down the Trojans, the Centre Daily Times spoke with Joey Kaufman, who covers USC for the Orange County Register.
Trace McSorley — QB, Penn State
Saquon Barkley — RB, Penn State
Chris Goodwin — WR, Penn State
Sam Darnold — QB, USC
Adoree' Jackson — CB, USC
JuJu Smith-Schuster — WR, USC
Penn State finished the season No. 5 in the College Football Playoff, and probably isn't happy that a team they beat — Ohio State — was included in the playoff despite not winning the Big Ten Championship. USC is better than their 9-3 record after cleaning up a rough start, and has shown it can slow down a prolific passing attack in a road win at Washington.
Can either defense slow down the opposing offense in the Rose Bowl? Will McSorely connect on enough deep passes to keep the Nittany Lions in the game? In a matchup of two explosive offenses, the better/hotter defense will prevail.
Penn State: 34

We all need some kind of motivation to eat healthy. Only exercising is not quite enough to stay in shape and live your life as a healthy person free from extra problems. You need to have a healthy diet as well. So try these tips for staying motivated to eat healthy wherever you go.
Discover new foods
One of the most exciting ways of adopting a new eating habit is finding more and more different foods to try. Explore a specialty foods store, get a new cookbook at the library, or explore new ethnic restaurants. Keeping your taste buds this way will encourage you to continue with eating healthy foods.
Think short term
Keep your goals in doable short-term amount. Focus on half to one week at a time or, if essential, one day at a time. Feel great about the healthy choices you made at the last meal instead of wondering about the slip you made at the party last weekend.
Find a friend or a family member to join you
Sharing health information with your family or friends can be extremely motivating. If everyone gets on to eat healthy foods around the house—such as vegetables, fruits, soymilk, and nuts, hummus and pita, you will not feel tempted to carve on the unhealthy foods you used to eat. You will motivate each other to order plant-based delicious meals at restaurants because you share a common idea and goal.

It's been said that "simple is best." This is a fairly universal axiom that can apply to almost anything, including games. Of course, it can also be fairly ironic in that it's also easy to take too far, in which case the simplicity is no longer what's best. It's in this vein that Postmortem Studios has released their game – I'm not sure if I should call it a role-playing game or not – The Little Grey Book.
The Little Grey Book is a two-page PDF file. Each page is divided into three columns, with the first column of the first page being the cover image, and the last column of the second page being a "character sheet," as it were.
I keep equivocating about whether or not this is a role-playing game because, as a game, it lacks a lot of the traditional trappings of most RPGs. There is no randomizer, for instance (e.g. dice, drawing cards, etc.) nor is there any sort of referee or Game Master. The Little Grey Book is more of a storytelling game than anything else, and the quality of the stories are…well, read below for more on that.
The premise of The Little Grey Book is that it takes place in a utopian society. Everyone is equal in every way, and society is run by the Consensus. All permutations of sex and sexual identity are accepted, all ages are accepted, and even names have not only had surnames removed entirely, but the remaining personal names are all gender-neutral.
The game-play here involves each player (of which there need to be at least three) creating a character based on choosing a name, age, and gender/sex. Each player then describes one typical day in their character's life, from waking up until going to bed. The remaining players collectively play the role of the Consensus; each Consensus member can describe a troubled situation that happens during the day (e.g. someone flirts with you), and the player needs to describe how they resolve it before continuing on with their day.
The rub here is that the (non-Consensus) player gets a black mark from the other members of the Consensus each time he does anything that violates the equality of someone else. This is incredibly easy to do. Frowning at someone is passing judgment on them, for instance. Using a gender-specific pronoun is making an assumption on their sexual identity. Offering a tip to a waiter is a comparative insult to other waiters. In other words, differences (both real and perceived) still exist between people, but every time you fail to pretend that such differences don't exist, you get a black mark. Hence, virtually every time a Consensus member introduces a troubled situation into your day, you're going to screw up somehow; it's a given.
Each player takes a turn as the person describing their day, and all of the other players operate as members of the Consensus, until everyone has had a turn. Consensus members tell the player why they got the black marks they did, but there's no arguing these judgments. The explanations are final. The game ends when the person with the most black marks is taken away for "adjustment" (which isn't defined, though you can probably guess) and the person with the least black marks gets off with a warning…making them the de facto winner.
That's literally the entire game.
It's clear that The Little Grey Book is presenting us with a minimalist critique of political correctness. However, how much of fun you'll get out of playing this game is debatable – like all instances of minimal presentation, what's here is so little that it invites you to fill it in with your own interpretations; you can't help but imbue this game with your own thoughts and prejudices on the exaggerated premise that it lays down. Likewise, the real fun also comes from just how bastard-ly your friends feel like being when they come up with troubles for you, and how try to wriggle out of the situations they invent.
I do think that there could have been some greater emphasis on some of the unique aspects of the setting, such as noting how the Consensus seems to be a borg-like collective governance, or that the troubles that arise during your day are caused deliberately by the Consensus as a test of a random citizen's perception of social equality (though how they caused such issues to happen would be a bit tricky to answer).
Ultimately, there's little to do here, which is sort of the point. Nobody will get through a day without a black mark, but the real fun is in trying. The game here is a very basic framework, and the play style is similarly basic. It's a simple game, but as they say, sometimes simple is best.
This product is a GOLDMINE! As a creative GM as you are you can easily twist/tweak the adventures in this book to fit in your setting and world. I use it in my Eclipse Phase campaign.
With this product you can fast and easy create "adventures within the adventure" and side-plots and sidetracks.
A genre specific but system neutral set of adventure seeds can prove to be a useful tool in any GM's armoury. I picked these up for ideas for an upcoming sci-fi campaign I'm writing and I wasn't disappointed. There are lots of interesting ideas here, mainly hard sci fi aiming for a sort of "Traveller" feel.
None of them could be used as they come, you need to put some work in yourself. But that's the point, these are just seeds. You need to feed and water them your own self. Any half decent GM should be able to create a few dozen ideas out of these seeds which are in just enough detail.
In terms of format, if you've ever read any of the others in the series, it follows the "premise, twist and epilogue" system with a nice useful sidebar for most if not all of the ideas. Some more well crafted ideas would have been nice but how useable would the be?
All in all, I'd recommend this to any busy/lazy GM who needs ideas for stories and adventures in their new campaign
I love the concept of this supplement. It's a simple one, but there's quite a bit of possibilities to it. The premise behind the supplement is that there is a criminal organization made up of fey. Most fantasy settings will have the fey remain mostly aloof or cause mischief just for the thrill of it. These fey cause mischief but they do it for the loot. Originally calling themselves by the more prosaic term "Weather Solutions" they offered their services to people in the area as a type of insurance. It quickly went from real insurance to mobster insurance, i.e. pay us the money or something bad will happen to you.
It's the gangster racket run by a bunch of fairies.
Generally the book is laid out very well. The cover has some artwork which I didn't care for, but that's my personal taste (the fairy reminded me of an anime character, not a wild fey). Then there's a history of the organization from it's founding to the current status (the leader in jail where he continues to run the operation). There's a brief section on some of the activities they do now, followed by another section on the organization of the group. This is a great little detail that I love, having 12 under-bosses of the fairies named after each of the months and responsible for a certain type of racket.
Following this there's a random chart (roll a d10) for adventure seeds. Some examples:
3.) Gangsters and officials are routinely found gnawed to death. Investigation reveals that March has awakened rats to serve as assassins and unleashed them upon the enemies of the Fairies. Even if March is killed, the rats, now sentient and malicious, will continue to kill, possibly even starting their own gang.
10) A discussion on classic Seelie poetry leads to a rift between Winter and Summer. Before this escalates into fighting, and the inevitable insane weather that will accompany it, the Seasons ask the PCs to serve as neutral mediators. This task is not easy, since fairies on both sides have completely skewed sets of priorities and very alien morality.
There's a new fey called The Winter Fey with some pretty cool powers, one of them being the ability to inflict the common cold on anybody. There are some great special abilities too. There's also a Summer Fey that has the ability to cause dehydration with a touch, along with some other major powers.
Not much. I didn't care for the artwork. Based on the description of the fey the artwork didn't fit the image. I didn't care for the stats of the fey either--they seemed underpowered. Had I seen the stats without a description I would've been bored and not wanted to read more.
I've got to say, from what I've seen of the Gangworld series of supplements, I am enjoying. They are a refreshing change of pace in what I was beginning to think was a tired game genre.
This is a good little supplement that can make an interesting diversion from the usual adventures in any existing campaign, or even be used as a starting point for a new campaign for those looking for something different.
The adventure seeds provide enough information to keep the characters occupied for several sessions, and are general enough to allow the GM to insert his own creativity into the mix.
The price point is just right for the spark of inspiration that is provided.
A nice little supplement that can easily form a series of adventure arcs in any existing campaign, or be used as a starting point for a new one.
I'm liking the whole Gangland series of supplements, and I think it makes a nice change of pace from the usual fare that you see. And the price point is just right for the spark of inspiration that is provided.
A handy little supplement that can be comfortably slotted into any existing campaign, or used as a starting point for a new one.
Gangworld: Dark Dominatrixes presents an all-female drow gang that "poses as dealers in exotic vices and forbidden pleasures, while hiding a much darker and deadlier secret." The drow run a chain of brothels and strip clubs. They also are heavily (and secretly) into slave trading. This PDF is three pages long. It includes no mechanical, crunchy parts and therefore has no OGL license page.
This is a well written product. It presents concepts that would fit into any urban fantasy setting, though it is written with D&D 3x / D20 in mind. The Gangworld series seems to be a mashup between D&D and a 1930s style gangster film. The art work is well done (anime style), though limited to just a color cover and a black and white repurposing of that cover image. It contains what should be a link to the creators' homepage (http://postmortemstudios.wordpress.com) but that link fails. Perhaps their PDF creator stripped the link?
I give the PDF a 3 out of 5 for style, layout, and art, 4/5 for writing/usability. No mechanics to really rate on that front, but that's okay.
Adapting these to a non D20 engine would be an easy task.
I'd be willing to use these products in an urban D&D game. I might change the names to kind of reduce the camp a notch, but otherwise, excellent work.
Gangworld: Effin' Faeries describes a group of corrupt Seelie Court faeries who "exploit their Seelie Court connections to control local weather and natural phenomena, and their Unseelie Court connections to kidnap, assassinate, and spy from the shadows." The PDF presents history, acitivites, organization, adventure seeds, and Winter and Summer Fey races for use as PCs or NPCs. Basically, these are the go-to guys to put a hurt on someone, while making it look like natural causes. This PDF is 5 pages, but the last page is basically OGL license boilerplate.
I give the PDF a 3 out of 5 for style, layout, and art, 4/5 for writing/usability. Not enough mechanics to really rate on that front, but that's okay.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: A while back, I reviewed Tough Justice - and rather loved it. Grim and Gritty is a combat supplement for Tough Justice by Tough Justice writer Ian Warner. You can download it for $1.99 from RPGNow, or buy it in print from Lulu.com for $9.29. Essentially, it is 40 pages of combat rules for Tough Justice (which didn't delve heavily into combat). Combat isn't wildly different from most games, although there are unique bits like a pre-fight roll determining either how soon it will be before the defender can attempt to escape, or how quickly reinforcements come, and the end result of combat (death or capture) is entirely up to the victor. The supplement takes the Tough Justice legal setting very seriously, with attackers can gain Felony Dice, but Defenders do not, due to their right to defend themselves.
WHAT WORKS: The rules for dueling seem like they would be the most thematically appropriate for the Tough Justice setting, and this includes pistol or sword duels, fist fights or hag fights (with appropriate rules for differentiating them from regular combats). The book also does an admirable job of trying to cover all relevant combat bases, including a weapons chapter, gang-up rules and mass combat.
WHAT DOESN'T WORK: The proofreading could have been better, especially in regards to punctuation. The book encourages exceptions in combats whenever characters made from different Historical Farce games are used together, which can prove annoying at times.
CONCLUSION: I really enjoy Ian Warner's off-beat work in particular, and Postmortem's work in general. As the author says, even in this book, Tough Justice is completely playable by itself, these are just additional rules, in case the combat doesn't work for you. Is there anything indispensible in here? No, although I do really like the addition of the dueling rules. Otherwise, if you have played Tough Justice a time or two, you have a pretty good idea as to whether or not the combat is robust enough for you.
Finally! Of the several "100 ___ Seeds" books I've picked up, one that is unashamedly useful! Despite the usual atrocious editing, the adventure seeds in here are useful, diverse (each with three "twists" in the plot that can be used alone or separately to complicate your adventurers' lives) and each also with an "epilogue" that suggests a way to continue to have the outcome of your adventure complicate the lives of your players long after the adventure is over. All in all an excellent book.
Pros: Excellent ideas (many of them done before, but here given new life); with complications in the form of the twists that can be used to tie into other thematic adventures you may already have in mind. The ideas are somewhat expanded on as compared to the normal "adventure seeds" you see, and are fleshed out enough to actually only require a few stand-by NPCs, some extra detail on the main "mystery" you elect to be the point of the story, a few monsters or ghosts or what have you and bang, you're there (though you may need a haunted house or something to work with as well).
Cons: The usual crappy proofreading and "spell-check" editing which can result in some amazingly inappropriate sentences and word choices that can lead to much inadvertent hilarity and unnecessary confusion. The constant misuse of commas (comma-spliced sentences like the author's would have gotten me kicked out of most of the classes I attended in college) is just simply annoying. The inclusion of a line drawing or two of the locales might have been nice too.
All in all, I found this one much more useful than the author's other endeavors, and it leads me to hope that he may continue to improve his work to this standard. My other hope is that he will find someone educated to send his drafts to for actual proofreading and editing. Four stars for the utility of the book!
Frankly I was a little disappointed. I was hoping for some clever new locales that would inspire me to greater heights in my Call of Cthulhu campaign, and instead what I got was a pastiche of old Lovecraftian locales clearly discernible under a thin coating of revised description. Heck, one, "Dark Carnival" even used the name of a Chaosium Adventure for Call of Cthulhu likewise set in an evil carnival.
There were several useful ideas in the book, but all in all, I'm not sure it was worth the price. Had it had even a few line drawings of the locales, the worth of the book would have been beyond dispute. Alas, there were none. Even more annoying than the usual horrific grammar, punctuation and spelling errors I've come to expect from Postmortem Studios, was the total cop-out of some of the locales. Really? You're presenting DARFUR as a location for a modern horror campaign, and "the horror here is man's inhumanity to man?" I think we all get that Darfur is one screwed up place where a lot of people are suffering because of human greed and evil, but it's not the sort of thing that is implied by the subtitle "A Modern Horror Roleplaying Sourcebook." In fact there are several locations here where the deadly phrase beginning with "the horror here..." is employed to serve notice to the reader that the "horror" will be something like "being isolated," or "being faced with starvation." Come on, Postmortem, I can get that from the local newspaper; what I wanted from you was, you know, HORROR stuff....
As I said, I was a tad disappointed by these issues. However, having said that, there are several locations which are not previously done much better by other companies (Chaosium's "The Mountains of Madness" for example in preference to the author's pastiche of Lovecraft's theme) or are not cop-outs in terms of actual horrors that might be very interesting to work with. One, "Sideways Street," in fact, provides an excellent germ for some very interesting role-playing, though again it lacks somewhat in originality since it seems to be reflective of "Diagonally" in the Harry Potter series, with a bit of the shops from "A Mysterious Pentad" and some of Clive Barker's work thrown in.
If you have a spare $7.50 floating around that you simply can't find any use for, then use it to buy this book. Otherwise, pass on to something more fleshed out and complete to work with.
While an interesting compilation of potential conspirators, it suffers somewhat from being intended primarily as a companion for the "100 Conspiracies" source book. This means that the conspirators listed tend to focus on the aspects of the organizations and individuals that lend themselves to those conspiracies, and limits the author's ability to explore their other ramifications. While the author attempts to make up for this issue with the "adventure seeds," he still is limited in what he can provide, by his own format, and the requirement to tie in with the other source book.
Still, it's an excellent look into some strange organizations that have existed down through the centuries, though admittedly he focuses on the more commonly explored ones as revealed on "The Discovery Channel."
Pros: Generally good thumbnail descriptions of various esoteric organization and individuals with plenty of names and concepts that you can use for further research. Really it's an excellent primer on the subject, without providing more than a quick scan of the 100 organizations and individuals.
Cons: The author tends to permit his personal biases to show through, generally debunking "liberal" conspiracies while lending some small credence to various "conservative" conspiracies (lefties are good guys, righties are baaad). Given that most of these organizations are either defunct or populated by the lunatic fringe on both sides of the aisle, this seems somewhat disingenuous. Like its companion volume, this one too is riddled with grammatical, punctuation and spelling errors that would have easily been avoided had the author or the publishing company taken a few minutes to actually read the product before publishing it.
I give it three stars based on the fact that it's primarily a back-up to a back-up, and as a comment on the poor editorial effort by the author/publisher.
While I agree with many of the comments in Michael Dolan's review, I would add a few more:
On the plus side, the author does and excellent job of providing a "reader's digest" summation of most of the truly weird conspiracy theories floating around out there (though there are a few he misses). His organizational skills make it easy to dig into the superficialities of the various conspiracies, though if you want to really pull out all the stops, you're still going to need a LOT of hours on the internet reading some weird s**t. Still, for $7.50, you get a jump start on your research and, together with Richard Hite's work you should be in conspiracy heaven.
On the negative side, Mr. Dolan failed to mention that some of the run-on sentences and truly horrid grammar in the conspiracy explanations can actually leave you MORE confused than when you started. In addition, there is the occasional misspelling which can also briefly confuse since such misspellings are typical of the "spell-check" mindset -- that is, they are spelled "correctly," but it's completely the wrong word. I was frankly disappointed by the level of proof-reading, though I'm finding that particular failure to be more and more common as companies seem to let the computer do their editorial review for them, and don't bother to actually read their material prior to publishing anymore.
I give this one three stars, simply because all it really is is an introduction to the topic (though an excellent one for the neophyte) and the various issues noted by myself and Mr. Dolan do make it both harder to use and less useful than it ought to be.
Wizards need to study, study long and hard to acquire the knowledge necessary to bend mystic powers to their will... and in most game systems, it's a continual process, something that must be done every day to ensure that you have your powers at your fingertips when you need them. So it's nice to have a picture of a wizard with his nose in a book - as you can be sure that your wizard character is often found in that position!
It is a clear and crisp rendition in ink and wash, standing at a lecturn leafing through a heavy tome, with hand-illustrated pages. Behind him, a landscape view through the window isn't proving too much of a distraction. Middle-aged, I reckon, and probably human (unless elf ears in your world are more discreet than many illustrations suggest).
If you are buying this for more than an illustration for your character sheet, the licence is beautifully straightforward and concise, none of the convoluted legalese some folks like to use. Do as you please, but give the artist due credit, and don't sell it on as pure clipart.
I really like him, even if he won't do for my current wizard... my Calatin is, shall we put it kindly, of the cuddly persuasion. This guy's more in the heroic mould, perhaps even missing his dinner for a couple more hours with his books.

We chose Chez Bouton , for the wi fi, and pool, and individuality of the gites. We were pleasantly surprised at the beautiful area surrounding the properties ,and the warm reception from David and Jane; they could not have been more helpful or kind, providing all we needed, and a relaxing atmosphere in which to unwind, which we did. The gite was well designed, though an additional back garden would have made it perfect. The other families were a huge bonus as we spent many warm evenings drinking wine together , exchanging experiences, together with our hosts! The area is interesting and varied, and we returned home relaxed and refreshed, and wanting to go back! Thanks Jane and David for a memorable holiday.

Rolls-Royce New car showroom
Dealer Charles Stewart Rolls was encouraged to try electrical engineer Frederick Henry Royce's 1904 car and appreciated its quality and refinement so much the duo joined forces. In 1907 a 40/50hp model that completed a 24,000km reliability trial became known as the Silver Ghost, due to its unusual colour, and the brand's reputation became further enhanced in 1925 by the first Phantom. Rolls acquired rival Bentley in 1931, leading to decades of cross sharing. Rolls-Royce aero engines would play a crucial role in both world wars, while back to car engines the 1959 L-series V8 would be fitted to Rolls and Bentleys for the next half-century (and beyond for the latter, in 6.75L guise). A BMW V12 would power future Rolls models – including a new-generation Phantom and the smaller, 7-Series-related Ghost – after the German brand fully acquired Rolls-Royce in 2003 (after interim ownership by Volkswagen).

Le petit Felix
Anette F.
There is a touch of French flair in the Behrenstrasse in Berlin Mitte: Le petit Felix serves Mediterranean cuisine with a southern French focus and a combination of the best seasonal ingredients and the culinary influences of Cuisine Niçoise. Guests are led through a culinary evening with informal and uncomplicated service. In addition, the head sommelier has created a wine list with exclusive French wines, specifically adapted to the Mediterranean food. A further highlight is the Berkel slicer at which the restaurant manager cuts the tasty lardo for his guests.
There is true art not only on the plates: Thanks to Mark Robinow you can admire great photographs besides culinary delights. In regular alternation photographers of the gallery of Mark Robinow present their work. It began with photographs of Gered Mankowitz. He is one of the most influential rock photographer and has decorated the walls of le petit Felix with pictures of rock titans such as the Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix. Le petit Felix is located directly next to FELIX Club Restaurant. Through a direct access to the neighboring big brother, guests can start directly into a raucous night out in Berlin's hottest premium club.

Motional IQ
Eilecia B.
One of the most common reasons people report for wanting to work with a coach is the feeling of being "stuck". They are stuck in a job they don't like, stuck in an unsatisfying relationship, or stuck in a life that lacks meaning and purpose. A coach's job is to get you unstuck, and they do this with a number of tools, techniques, and processes designed to help you find what drives you, where you want to go, and the best way to get there.
With over 16 years of experience in coaching and teaching throughout North America, South America, and Europe, Eilecia Bovard – New York University certified Executive Coach – combines positive psychology, emotional intelligence, and a kinesthetic approach to coaching.

On the morning of October 18th, 2003, I woke up at my uncle's condominium where I was living and I put on a yellow dress. I grabbed the bouquet of yellow roses I'd put together the night before and I got in the car with my friend, Elizabeth. We drove to my parents' house where my fiancé was waiting.
He was pretty excited to see me
even though we gave attitude to
the photographer my sister
because that day
after pictures were taken
we went to the courthouse to get married.
With papers in hand and five friends and family by our sides, we walked in
and stood in line to get married. It was all very romantic.
Ok, well, except for the part about standing in line.
Then we stood before a judge.
She asked us if we were ready and we said, "Yep!"
And before we knew it, we were married! The ceremony went so fast that we even missed a picture of the first kiss! This is a shot my sister caught just afterward.
I don't remember the ceremony itself or what exactly we said. We (obviously) didn't put much time into planning that day. We saved the planning for our church wedding ceremony held eight months later. But what I do remember, in the moment I said, "I do," was the deep-down-in-my-gut absolutely totally sure understanding that I was now joined to this man.
In mind, in body and in spirit, we were then - in that very moment - one. It's a mystery of marriage that awes and stills me when I think of the serverity of it. Severity in a really wonderful absolutely amazing sort of way.
I say often that marriage to the right man is incredibly wonderful and marriage to the wrong man can be hell on earth. So choose wisely.
I have been blessed with a whole lotta' heaven on earth. Alejandro is God's best gift to me.
After the papers were signed
and hugs were given
we decided a little celebration was in order. So we headed back to my parents' house for lunch and a little cake.
It was a cupcake with two kisses on top angled like wedding bells.
Then we went outside for more pictures before heading to the beach for a nice long stroll with our toes in the sand.
This is Chad, Alejandro's American exchange student (when they were in Costa Rica together) and host family (when they were in Kansas together). He's sorta' responsible for Alejandro's love of the U.S. So I kinda' like him. Oh, and he also has a heart of gold.
No, she's not my sister. Elizabeth and I grew up together as neighbors.
No, she's not my sister. She's my mom.
Yep. She's my sister.
And then
we lived happily ever after.
Ok, maybe with a whole lot of Grace and refining by Holy Fire as we continue to figure this marriage-thing out. But for the most part, we've lived happily and thankfully ever after.

text: Hi, Some of you may have seen my previous post about me being injured. Basically I have selection for 4 Para Mid-August then Cadre in September and I have an injured knee and what I suspect to be shin splints so for this month I am staying off my feet and only doing upper body exercises. I assumed that body weight exercises may be best for preparing for the armed forces and it would mean no matter where I was I wouldn't have an excuse not to work out. I am hoping you guys might be able to give me a few tips on what I'm doing. There is a kids park right where I live so I exercise there. [/b]Mourning: Stretch my shins etc to try and aid recovery and do 20-40 Press ups & 20 dips before my shower Afternoon: Normally try and squeeze out a few random sets of press ups when ever I find the opportunity. I also use a 'Powerball' to try and improve my grip/forearm strength. Late evening: Go to the park when I do rope climbs, dips, pull ups monkey bars and other strange variations of upper body exercises. Night: 10 - 15 Crunches before bed I do this almost every day leaving some days for rest days when my muscles are sore after waking up although I still do the press ups and dips before my shower on the rest days because I promised myself I would do it everyday for the rest of the month. What do you think of my workout? I'm pretty slim so sit ups aren't that much of a challenge but maybe I should add more ab work outs? Am I doing too much in one day? I pretty much do every up body exercise I can think of while at the park, should I split the days into groups etc Back-Biceps one day, tri's-shoulders-abs another? or is it fine just blasting my upper body everyday allowing for rest days? Is there any exercise I should concentrate on more than any other? Or am I missing any upper body work outs I should be doing? Thanks.

Thanks for the file but FLAC is a bit difficult we have to convert before we can import to DAW.
Thanks though!
.flac file is not convenient at all, you should re-record it and put it up as a .wav file
Thanks! Nice sound.

National news
Sir Michael Hill is the wealthiest man in the south with an estimated $300 million, according to the latest assessment of the country's wealthiest people's fortunes.
The National Business Review placed Arrowtown-based jeweller Hill in 35th equal place on the list released yesterday - a climb from the 64th place he occupied last year with the same estimated wealth.
His company, Michael Hill International Jewellery, is expanding with a new range of stores opening in Australia but he is also known for his impressive golf course The Hills, a superyacht and sponsorship of the biennial Michael Hill International Violin Competition.
However, he has some financial distance to move to catch up on the wealthiest overseas investors in the area.
American billionaire and philanthropist Julian Robertson has investments in Queenstown including the exclusive Matakauri Lodge and is said to be worth $3.6 billion.
Dowager Duchess Henrietta Bedford is British blueblood but has about $12m of her $1.25b invested in retail stores in Invercargill. She also has an alpine home near Arrowtown.
Invercargill's Richardson family crept up on the list from 74th place last year with $250m to 48th this year with $270m.
Established by Bill Richardson, the HW Richardson trucking group formed the basis of the company, which today employs 1500 people and operates about 900 heavy trucks and 400 light vehicles.
These days they operate in transport, ready-mix concrete, petroleum distribution, contracting and aggregates and waste as well as continuing the trucking legacy with a trucking museum, which will open to the public next year.
The Skeggs family is expanding its interests in the southern region through its ownership of Southern Discoveries tourism company and now has its busy head office based in Frankton.
Growth this year included a new multimillion-dollar catamaran operating on Lake Wakatipu. The family also owns Skeggs Bluff Oysters in the deep south, and NBR estimates it to be worth $150m - a $50m increase on last year.
Queenstown accountant Barry Thomas retains only a 5.8 per cent share in Skyline Enterprises but has increased his worth from $115m last year to $125m this year - putting him in 106th place.
Also based in Queenstown, Sir John Davies and Sir Eion Edgar have remained level-pegged.
Last year, the magazine estimated their fortunes at $95m, putting them 116th on the list. This year, they occupy the same spot but are thought to be worth $100m.
Davies added to his tourism portfolio last year with the purchase of the Speight's Coast to Coast race and has been investing significantly in NZSki facilities.
Edgar is well known for his philanthropy and remains chairman of sharebroker Forsyth Barr.
The New Zealand list is led once again by Auckland businessman Graeme Hart, said to be worth $7b.

VANCOUVER, BC- RepliCel Life Sciences Inc., a clinical stage regenerative medicine company, has secured two European patents related to its multi-needle dermal injection technologies.
The first patent, European Patent No. 2623146, has been validated in a total of fourteen national countries, including Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden and the United Kingdom. The second patent, European Patent No. 2809381, will also be validated in a number of European countries in the near future.
The first device being developed under these patents, RCI-02, is designed for injecting hyaluronic acid (HA) and other products as dermal fillers. The device is also being developed for the injection of RepliCel's RCH-01 hair restoration and RCS-01 skin rejuvenation products. Future iterations of the technology and device will be optimized for other injectables such as drugs, biologics, vaccines, fat grafts, etc.
"These patents are an important milestone for the company as it underpins the near-term commercial value of RCI-02 for the delivery of other injectables beyond our own products. RCI-02 coupled for the injection of dermal fillers and other aesthetic treatments represents an early opportunity for licensing and revenue," said RepliCel CEO Lee Buckler. "This year we will build and test commercial-grade functioning prototypes with the goal of having it ready for a CE-mark application and potential market launch in 2018. Ongoing discussions with several multinational companies about potential commercial partnerships for the device give us confidence this represents one of RepliCel's next licensing deals."
Overall benefits of this next-generation dermal injector technology are anticipated to include improved handling, reduction or elimination of the need for local anesthetic, quicker procedure times, improved patient experience, and a significant expansion of the areas that can be addressed with dermal fillers due to the ability to conduct broad, shallow, and evenly-dispersed injections. Additionally, the device's simplicity and programmability is expected to enable less-experienced injection specialists to deliver predictable and consistent outcomes.

There were a couple of great captain's performances, in fact. In addition to Smith's 97 - his highest score in all cricket this summer - Essex captain Ronnie Irani claimed a career-best 5 for 33. But Smith took the honours. That was just as well, since the Hampshire innings got off to a very unpromising start when Jason Laney was caught down the leg side by wicketkeeper Barry Hyam off the first ball, a wide bowled by Ronnie Irani.
And it did not get better for quite a while. Derek Kenway was just getting into his stride when he guided a tame catch to Stephen Peters in the gully.
Smith was in a mean mood and laid bat on ball very hard. He also picked up the pace perfectly, turning a potential procession into the dressing- room into a parade of run-making. His fifty was brought up with the first of his impressive sixes, off 76 balls. He had received able support from Giles White and then John Stephenson.
The only half-century of the Essex innings was on the bowling front, Hampshire's Peter Hartley going for exactly 50 off his seven overs and not a consolatory wicket to ease the pain.
Danny Law promised a half- century but had to be content with his best of the season, which was two short of the mark. It was hugely entertaining, indeed it was just about the high spot of the Essex innings. Both his sixes came in the same Udal over, first when he launched the off-spinner over midwicket and Dimitri Mascarenhas caught the ball as it rebounded off the Pavilion Balcony.
The second one was bigger, the batsman this time pitching the ball on to the roof of the pavilion, where it remained. But he fell next over cutting, having smacked his 48 off 39 balls. Mascarenhas had the best return, conceding 14 runs in four overs and picking up two wickets.
There was a slightly bitter finish to the Essex innings when Paul Grayson, who finished unbeaten on 31, and Stephen Peters (28 not out) stole a single when Hampshire thought the ball was dead after wicketkeeper Adrian Aymes had taken a Nixon McLean delivery and flipped it straight to Udal in the gully.
Umpire Jeremy Lloyds did not rule that the ball was dead and at the end of the over Aymes and Grayson had a brief jostling match, although they were grinning about it as they came off the field at the close of the innings.

Swag Meetup – The Ghost Forest
- At November 20, 2016
- By Kim
- In Hiking
- 1
Over the last year, our motivation here at Northern Swag has been similar to that of the 46.9 million people who couldn't get themselves to the polling locations last Tuesday (i.e., pathetic). We were looking for a source of motivation…for a concept we could really get behind. The winning proposal was a simple one: a monthly Swag Meetup.
We would choose a location and set off with the intent to capture a variety of perspectives and try some new tricks. To help get our creative juices flowing, we agreed to blindly choose a "theme card" at each meet-up (e.g., "rule-of-thirds", "movement", "light", etc.). To make it interesting, we even threw in a dreaded Old Maid #selfie card and quickly let out a sigh of relief when our contributor Brian Beckwith drew this card first (#sucker).
Below are some of the captures from our first meetup at the ghost forest in the Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive at the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Our next event will be December 4th (the first Sunday of the month). Stay tuned for more details. We encourage anyone to join. After all, the more perspectives the better (and the lower the risk I will draw Old Maid).
Grass River Natural Area
- At October 18, 2014

For those who follow this blog, it's apparent…I am a Leelanau County girl. I require serious navigational help to get most anywhere beyond county lines in Northern Michigan. But I've been introduced to a new spot in Antrim County, Grass River Natural Area. This little gem, outside of Bellaire, is well worth expanding one's boundaries, especially this time of year!
I first visited Grass River late last October, when the area was covered in a golden carpet of downed Tamarack needles. There was a magical feel to it, more intimate than most of the wide-open dunescapes I frequent in Leelanau County. The 1,443 acres of protected land offer sedges, bogs, boardwalks, and opportunity aplenty to encounter nature up close and personal. Below is one of the many viewing platforms you'll find.
Since going last fall, I have returned twice. In the spring, I witnessed all kinds of green wonders emerging to showcase the results of 40 years plus of preservation. And this last weekend, our crew visited just in time to witness the orange and gold hues of autumn ablaze in the setting sun's rays. The Sedge Meadow trail is a must see, with several viewing platforms and a chance to take in some of the flora and fauna the area along the section of the Grass River near Clam Lake offers. The loop is less than a mile and offers boardwalks that make for a fun running track for children. If you have more time, add on the Fern and Woodland Trail, for a nice 2.5-mile hike that takes you through both wetlands and uplands.
The next couple weeks will make for prime times to visit Grass River. The fall color there is like nowhere else. Suffice it to say, my Siri will be hearing the request, "Please show me directions to Grass River Natural Area" almost as much as she hears "Hey Siri, please show me pictures of cute baby owls," from my 9-year-old. With 147 species of birds, I have a lot more to see!
Check in here for a schedule of events and classes offered and plan your hike with the map at the end of this post! Enjoy!
Pyramid Point
- At April 16, 2014

- In Brian's posts, Hiking, Places

We recently found ourselves discussing with a friend what we should do to commemorate the anniversary of his birth. Head to the bar or a nice restaurant as per usual? Well, spring is meekly poking its head out so why not try and get outside? And bring beer with us to celebrate? Sounds like a great birthday!
We rolled out to the County to hike up to Pyramid Point, unprepared for the slushy, snow-covered trail. Well, except for the beer we had with us. That made it a party. The primary parking lot near the trailhead and the dirt road up to it are still closed for the season. This adds maybe a quarter mile to the hike. But our effort was rewarded with an inspiring view of the ice breaking up out on Lake Michigan underneath clear blue skies. There were even moments it felt like the sun was warming us up from the stinging breeze coming off the lake.
We had an additional bonus for our efforts; the Point to ourselves. This'll change drastically in the months to come so I recommend getting out now if you have a chance.
Cheers to time spent with friends outside under the blue skies of northern Michigan!

We have had snow here in Northern Michigan since the second half of November. That's six months of white. Although I have loved this epic winter, I was a little giddy to see touches of blue return to the landscape this past weekend at Sleeping Bear.
What's that old adage? You don't realize what you have until it's hibernating under a giant, impenetrable layer of ice for three months? It seems I had taken this "great" lake for granted. The sound of waves replacing my inner thoughts as I walk along the Lake Michigan shore. The ability to reach down and pick up a smooth rock to rub between my fingers as I take it all in. The way the setting sun's light reflects clear across the surface of the water right to my toes.
From time to time, it turns out I need those rejuvenating rays to reassuringly reach across the lake and warm me up, literally and figuratively. Welcome, spring.
