Reviews of this property
The flat is very nice and close to all important sights and even to the main station.
We had some problems in communicating with the flat owner. She didn't answer my mail for a whole week where and when to pick up the keys. We already were several hours in the city when we got in touch with her by asking friendly people to phone for her.
The included wifi didn't work, some items in the kitchen and the toilet could have been more clean. We bought some cleaning stuff because there was nothing in the flat.
The flat is amazing...just behind the center and the old town and furnished to highest standard! When I checked in everything was clean and in order...I can just recommend this place to everyone!
Excellent - very clean and of a high standard. 5 minutes walk to the city centre - definitely recommended.
A bakery is located next door that is great for sitting outside (on a nice day) and having breakfast.
Very nice and friendly hosts. Beautiful, tastefully furnished small apartment. Kitchen equipped somewhat minimalist, but a dishwasher makes up for it.
The address is absolutely recommendable, because the situation in the old town is just fantastic as everything is within walking distance.
Any time.
Sehr nette und freundliche Gastgeber. Schöne, geschmackvoll eingerichtete kleine Wohnung. Küche etwas minimalistisch bestückt, aber eine Spülmaschine macht das wieder wett.
Die Adresse ist unbedingt weiter zu empfehlen, denn die Lage in der Altstadt ist einfach fantastisch, da alles zu Fuß zu erreichen ist.
Jeder Zeit wieder.
Nice place to stay near the old town with top equipment.
Schöne Unterkunft in der Nähe der Altstadt mit Top Ausstattung.
A great apartment right near the old town. The owners were very friendly and everything worked fine. A real highlight, the bakery as a neighbor! Greetings Jutta and Jorgos
Eine tolles Apartment gleich in der Nähe der Altstadt. Die Vermieter waren sehr freundlich und alles hat bestens geklappt. Ein richtiges Highlight, die Bäckerei als Nachbar! Liebe Grüße Jutta und Jorgos

By Edwin C. Darden
These days, cheating is an accepted and common way of succeeding for many public school students.
Whether the offense is "sharing" homework, peeking at a neighbor's answers during a test, or plagiarizing from a pre-existing work, post-millennium learners often find little wrong in cutting corners.
Yet, cheating is spelled out as a violation of the student honor code in nearly every student handbook in the U.S. When students are caught, they are subject to discipline, which raises legal concerns.
While a lot of attention has fallen on administrators and teachers who unethically help students pass a test, student cheating continues. Oddly, academic dishonesty has received less attention lately and seemingly spurred less outrage. Because of both the learning and legal impact, however, school board members, superintendents, and educators would be smart to refocus their attention on this uncomfortable topic.
To be fair, sometimes the bad conduct is not intentional. Young people can and do mistakenly cheat or plagiarize out of ignorance. But school board policies on this subject are unyielding, built around the idea that students are expected to know right from wrong.

The 15th-ranked Tennessee men's swimming team couldn't outlast the No. 12 Georgia Bulldogs' depth Saturday at the UT Student Aquatic Center, losing 130-100.
"This was an admiral effort by Georgia today," UT head coach John Trembley said. "Jevon Tarantino swam his guts out and we weren't really sure if he would even dive today. The 400 medley relay team got the meet off to a good start by beating a strong Georgia relay."
The 400-yard medley relay team of Josh Fulton, Kiel Huston, Andrew Engle and Tyler Gustafson opened the meet with a first-place finish in 3:20.21.
Gustafson followed up his strong performance in the 400-medley relay with a win in the 100-yard freestyle in 45.47.
Octavio Alesi brought home his first career win in the 50-yard freestyle in 21.03. Engle finished fourth in 21.46.
Bryan Goldberg won the 200-yard freestyle in 1:40.11.
Sophomore Jevon Tarantino challenged until the very end in the 1-meter and 3-meter springboards but could not hold off Chris Colwill of Georgia, finishing second in both events. Tarantino put up a season high on the 1-meter in 354.74 but Colwill edged him with 363.75. On the 3-meter, Colwill (352.72) narrowly edged Tarantino (350.02).
"Jevon is not quite back to his full potential yet but it is a testament to his ability that he was right in it until the end," UT diving coach Dave Parrington said. "Chris (Colwill) has been diving very strong all year."
Junior Casey Dauw finished third in the 200-yard individual medley in 1:52.43 in his first competition since a mid-December injury forced him from competing. Gil Stovall of Georgia won the event in 1:51.62.
Junior Jason Thomas finished second in the 1,000-yard freestyle in 9:22.89. Bulldog Matthew Owen finished first in 9:18.28.
Sophomore Michael Wolfe ended up in second after a strong showing by Georgia's Peter Osborn in the 200-yard backstroke. Wolfe (1:49.97) couldn't catch Osborn (1:49.28).
Next up for the Vols is a trip to Gainesville, Fla. to face the No. 2 Florida Gators in enemy water.

Royal icing decorations
First, I found some baby type pictures on Google Images and printed them out at the size I wanted them. I also gathered together a couple of disposable icing bags, my finest tips, a coupler in case I wanted to change tips, and some parchment paper.
For the icing I used royal icing sugar, some water, colouring gel, and a bowl to mix it in. (You can also see flavouring in the picture but I forgot to add a little as I was so busy making sure the consistency of the icing was right.)
Mix the icing sugar with a little water, adding a tiny bit at a time until the consistency is correct. You'll know it's right when you drag a spoon through the middle of the icing and the groove takes exactly ten seconds to smooth out again.
Then get your icing bag ready with a coupler and tip, or just the tip if you know you won't be switching tips.
Once you've filled your bag you'll place your parchment over the printed images and trace them with icing. Then flood the image, using the tip to drag the icing into any gaps. Wipe the tip before moving on to the next decoration.
Move the parchment and repeat until you have as many as you think you'll need. Always make extra to allow for breakages.
I added some detail with yellow icing.
And here is the finished product, which was very well received by the baby shower guests :)

Really super darling!! You are a wonder!!ReplyDelete
Oh, my. You are truly talented Jen. Seriously, I am amazed. Those are the cutest little baby cupcakes I have ever seen!ReplyDelete
wow!! great tip about printing 1x and moving over and over.ReplyDelete
..this looks really amazing...I'm just interested in how long do they need to dry? Thank you..ReplyDelete
Such a great idea!! Just a question--do they get soft after sitting on the buttercream frosting? Just wondering how far in advance I can put them on, or if I should maybe cut out circles of fondant to put between the buttercream swirl and the decorations... Thanks!!ReplyDeleteReplies
I don't think they soften on the buttercream - at least I haven't found them to. They are the same as the little decorations you can buy, which are made of royal icing sugar. Once they are hard and dry you should be okay with them for a couple of days. I wouldn't bake and decorate more than 3 days max before serving and eating.Delete
Thanks so much for your answer! I managed to get my hands on meringue powder, so I'm going to give these a shot right now!ReplyDeleteReplies
Here's a link to a photo on flickr, if you'd like to have a look! Thanks so much for the inspiration! I've put photos of them on my FB account, but is it okay to link to your blog here, so people can see where I got the idea?Delete
Enjoy your weekend!

The newest term for ordinary men who know how to dress, but can "still be men." They're neither beer-guzzling sexists obsessed with football, nor are they excessively moisturized pink-shirted effeminates. Heteropolitans are an in-between mix that enjoy both the bars and the salons, and are committed to their relationships with their wives or girlfriends. They are also commited to their family life. They claim love and laughter as their routes to happiness, and they are not shy when it comes to sex.
Michael Jordan, and George Clooney can be classified as Heteropolitans.

Good Grief MonaLisa. I don't like the quilting part either. That is why I am so far behind in it but you can't have spent all that time making those blocks and just give them away. Please tell me NO.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Good Grief MonaLisa. I don't like the quilting part either. That is why I am so far behind in it but you can't have spent all that time making those blocks and just give them away. Please tell me NO.
Hooked, Wow. Your quilt is wonderful. Sixty blocks!! I really like the new ones you created, like the Michigan/Ohio combination. All at eight inches.....
Mona Lisa, I'm kind of like you...enjoy making blocks. Actually, I've never tried quilting so I can't say I hate that part. I took a FMQ class and enjoyed it but never took it any further. It will take so much practice before trying it on a quilt. I am going to put the stars together though, then store it.
I'm envious of you who have your stars done. I still have seven to go.
wow Carolyn I love your quilt. Awesome work.
Since I made a boo boo last week and posted W. Virginia and you know I have finished my blocks, I am going to post the rest of the now. So here is Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming. And also my blocks put together.
PokerDiva--I have been watch this thread on and off and your fabrics have often caught my eye reminding me of a kaleidoscope. Is your border fabric what you used through out the quilt?
I have been thinking about making this quilt. Does this book give measurements on how much fabric you need if you want to use the same fabric somewhere in each block? If not, how much fabric did you buy?
WOW Poker that is beautiful. I love your color choices. Do you know how you are going to quilt it yet. Like some of the others on here I can never decide how to quilt my quilts. I am still making up my mind whether to quilt this myself or send it to my longarmer. It is awful big and heavy to FMQ. Mostly I have anything bigger than a twin quilted. I still need to make my back. I am working on a pair of PJ's for my grandson. I took him to the LQS and he pulled a bolt of fabric off of the shelf and was yelling I need this, so I had to buy it. It was Yo Gabba Flannel. He is 2 1/2 and so cute.(and spoiled by grandma)
Carrie, I am sorry to say that the book does not tell you but I can tell you that I started with 6 yards of my focus fabric. Some stars took more fabric some less. I still had a yard left over when all the blocks were done but I did use it in my border. And I did make 6 extra blocks. I believe the one that had the background fabric all the same needed 6 yards also. It is a guessing game. Hope you decide to make it. In the end you will be glad.
MonaLisa, I hope you find someone who will love your blocks as they were all beautiful and I would hate to see them stashed away forever.
Seeing such pretty stars! Great job ladies!!
Mona Lisa- yours are great too! Perhaps they can be a quilt for some Sandy folks if you don't want the blocks-?
Be a blessing to others, as you may entertain angels unaware!

Dear Neighbour,
We are Ed and Erika from No. 4 and we would like to invite you to drinks at our house from 5 'til 6pm on the 31st December; a pre-pre-New Years Eve tipple.
I moved into the house a few months ago, but Erika has just arrived this morning (Christmas Eve - just in time). Everyone has been so welcoming, and we would like to start the New Year with our new neighbours.
Hopefully we will see you next Monday, but regardless we both wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year, and we look forward to getting to know you better in the year head.
Ed an Erika
Throughout the week we received responses to our invitation in the form of Christmas cards from neighbours offering their regrets
Ed, his parents and I planned to attend a Christmas eve Midnight Communion at 11:30 PM, so we relaxed and watched some television programs until we walked to the St Mary's Church (a beautiful church built in the 14th Century). There was a fairly full house, a regular church service, and many Christmas carols sung (some with the same words but entirely different tune that I am used to).
December 25- Christmas morning Ed and I woke to a stocking outside our door from "Father Christmas." We all enjoyed a traditional Smith Christmas breakfast of cold ham, toast, cold pork pie, and tea. After breakfast we drove 40 minutes to David's (Ed's brother) house as he was hosting Christmas dinner. We opened gifts and relaxed (I fell asleep again in a chair). Ed, Gerald, nephew Edward and niece Esme all played a board game. David and Liz prepared a delicious Christmas dinner that included turkey, stuffing with chestnuts, bread sauce, roasted potatoes and parsnips, carrots, brussel sprouts, and cranberry. After dinner everyone gathered to play a lively game of Cranium (our gift from Johnny and Jane).
December 26- Boxing day in England, a day of relaxation - thank goodness because I was still very tired from jet lag
December 27- We met up with Ed's Aunt Louise and cousins Lucie, Toby and Jake for a "cream tea" in the picturesque Cotswold village of Burford. That evening we drove 20 minutes to Johnny's house (Ed's brother) to give Marcie and Harvey their Christmas gifts (they spent Christmas day with Jane's family). We ordered a "curry" take away (Indian food) and enjoyed a nice meal together in their home.
December 28- I joined Ed for a half day at his office. He has an hour long commute, the first half through rolling countryside and various villages. The office is in a business center in the industrial town of Northhampton. I was introduced to a few of his colleagues as I sat in their conference room and sensed a very friendly and relaxed work environment.
December 29- Ed and I drove up to Ed's office in Northhampton to borrow their work van, drive up to Ed's dad's work warehouse and retrieve the 50 boxes we'd shipped from San Diego in October of 2011. The work van wasn't working, so we rented a van from Thrifty and continued on our way
December 30- We woke and joined Ed's parents for a traditional English breakfast with sunny side up egg, English bacon, sausage, mushroom, tomato, and toast with marmalade. We soon said our goodbyes and headed down the hill to drop in on Ed's friend Andy, wife Catherine and daughters Megan and Lucy. We woke them and they prepared us a cup of tea while we had a quick catch up before getting on the road back to Chipping Norton. 4 hours later we arrived in Chipping Norton, rushed to get the van unloaded and rushed over to Ed's new flat in Cheltenham (about 45 minutes drive away) to load the van with builders waste that had piled up from the various tradesmen after the dumpster had been taken away too soon to bring to the "tip" or garbage dump. We were able to load everything up before it was too dark, and then headed back to Chipping Norton.
December 31- We drove 30 minutes to the closest tip and placed the garbage in its various sections (paper, cardboard, wood, plaster/gypsum)
Post your own travel photos for friends and family More Pictures
Hi Ericka & Ed, Your mom passed along your blog to me. It sounds like you are very busy and making new friends. You are missed here! I love the name of your town -- England has such interesting town names. What part of England is Chipping Norton located in? Ian's family is from Halifax. Is anywhere near you? We wish you all a belated Happy New Year. We celebrate Char's B'day on Monday at Colonial. Blessings to you both, Mary Annj

Unlike other DJs who jump on house or hip hop as they come in and out of popularity Scooter has mastered both hip hop and house and has been producing house music for over fifteen years. He is one of the few DJs who can spin for a hip hop crowd and the next night play for an electronic crowd rockin both parties easily and with amazing prowess.

Overlooking the iconic Fountains of Bellagio, Hyde Bellagio will mark the first-ever nightlife experience in Las Vegas from sbe and globally acclaimed design icon Philippe Starck. SBE Founder, Chairman and CEO Sam Nazarian collaborated with Bellagio to deliver this spectacular 10,000-square-foot, indoor/outdoor venue. The mystery of Hyde Bellagio begins with an opulent Italian villa lost centuries ago. The space was said to have been the property of a famed Renaissance artist, best known for tailoring seductive grand festival masks. With an eclectic and refined taste, the artist fashioned his surroundings with worldly treasures, complemented by Italian marbles, reclaimed woods, lavish chandeliers, and towering glass doors that led to a secluded Tuscan garden. Rediscovered as Hyde Bellagio, the villa has been artfully brought back to life by visionary design icon Philippe Starck. Boasting a seamless indoor/outdoor space and floor-to-ceiling windows, Hyde Bellagio features an expansive terrace that showcases Las Vegas' most celebrated landmark, the Fountains of Bellagio. Elevating the décor, Hyde Bellagio introduces an exclusive early-evening experience beginning at 5 p.m. highlighted by an award-winning mixology program and a menu of intriguing small plates from Circo. Long after the sun sets, Hyde Bellagio evolves into Vegas' hottest nightlife destination, with 40 VIP tables, a diverse rotation of DJs and live performances. Introducing LOST ANGELS Tuesdays at Hyde. LOST ANGELS represents a select gathering of insiders and influencers from Vegas and around the world, celebrating the culture, sound and style of Los Angeles from the exclusive confines of Hyde Bellagio.

Sure Chad's unique......in the fact that someone has to basically touch him and the motherf**ker goes down....
Still believe Kubo should've kept him dead after Opie literally filled him full of holes. Inoue too.

The problem is that "death" in kuboverse is a sort of contradiction. Yeah there's the authors knack for not-killing, but when you think about it, killing them shakes the whole universe apart since you can't just have the dead die.

It also would've given Rukia some much, much, MUCH needed character development. Poor girl's done shitty since she got promoted. At least Renji seems to be getting some development, but he's worse than Chad in the battle department
Now that I've probaly annoyed everyone, there's something that I've been wondering about lately:
Rukia and Renji seemed like they're the only ones who've might've been seriously wounded(I'm not counting Kira because who the hell knows at this point...) does this mean they're the two weakest vice captains around? I mean, I would've thought pretty much ALL of the VCS would've been killed off with the way the Quincies are. We know Isane, Nanao and Yachirou JR were all fine; what happened to Matsumoto or Hisagi? Or even the characters we never hear about like Yazuka VC or Nemu?

Shinsui didn't kill Sado because of his personality and he knew he couldn't have killed Aizen whereas Nnoitra never finished him. About Inoue... she was never in a situation facing death. She still died in the Bleach pilot though.
Sado never gave the impression he was dying unlike Byakuya who had one epic death scene.
About Izuru Kira, I got to like him after Aizen's betrayal since he became friendly and was still rude in a comic way. Not to mention his fight against that Arrancar where he showed extreme coldness. Will Kubo confirm his death is he is made of iron like Hinamori, Hitsugaya and Kenpachi?
Talking about death scenes, how was it that Kaname Tosen died? I mean, is Aizen to blame for whatever happened to him?

I always got the impression that Aizen made him explode or something.....
As for Kira.....after what happened, anything is possible I guess. This is the same mangaka who's had people chopped in half, have had everything in their chests and ripped arms and still survived....
Anyway...I"m guessing we'll either get the conclusion of Uno and Kenny...or whatever's going on with Ichigo, Renji and the Zanpakuto Ho Harem with A Pimp Named Slickback.

i think her bankai absorbs blood to make the blade stronger......or weaker seeing as she got stabbed in the throat. I honostly would have rather not have seen her bankai then get this garbage. Next thing you know, ukitake bankais and 2 panels later he dies from coughing.

It's only slightly creepy that she's apparently fostered this affection for him since he was a young boy... Keepin' it classy there, Kubo!
I feel luke warm towards this entire chapter. There was zero depth of character achieved on either of their parts.
Kenpachi - "I like fighting" No! Really? Shock of all shocks! We figured that out in the SS arc.
Unohana - "I like fighting too! This is why you're the man for me! But wait, gonna kill myself now... kthxbye" *headdesk*
This pairing/fighting match up had the potential to be epic. Agreed with Calca - what a waste!

I planted a lot of broccoli this year and let some flower just for the bees. The broccoli always does well, but some of it always gets too far along before I pick it so I figured the bees will use it. They love it!
They also loved the corn pollen earlier this year. Even when there were other tasty flowers, they still went nuts in the corn.
They love turnip salad blooms probably mustard too. Turnip salad is one of the earliest sources of pollen too. That stuff was blooming middle/end of march here this spring.
Plant it now if you want it blooming next year. It produces loads of seeds and you can't kill the stuff. It'll be back year after year.
Don't laugh it's paid for. -- Manure draws more flies than honey.
My old mentor always said he loved his honey unless they were growing broc/cauliflower around... cuz it took on that flavor of crucifers... kind of how you smell it when you're around the plants. I think they use sulphur compounds to attract flies as well for pollination.
I've also been wondering about the honey from all the garlic chives the bees are hitting up here. The chives are an invasive weed for me so there is a lot of them. The bees are crazy about them.
BTW, look at the tattered old wings and baldness of this old bee on this garlic chives flower. Poor old girl.
Oh yeah, she's worked hard for sure. I had one worse than that on my mint... I don't think she made it back though, I was amazed she could even get lift let alone fly. Allium sp put out a fair amount of nectar in general and you can definitely smell it for sure.

Michael is a really friendly and available, he knows lots of place to visit and he is always avaible for an advice. We spent a beautiful holiday thanks the beautiful city and a beautiful person as Michael is.
Daniele and Marta
The room is big and nice, and the flat is in a good place of the city, near from the center. You can visit almost everythng important just walking.
Michael is very nice and kind. He also is able to help to get orientated in the city.
The bathroom is very little, but is usefull and works good.
We had a very pleasant stay at Michael's place. Easily accessible from the airport with the metro. Also very easy to get to the city (+- 10-15 minutes). All kinds of shops in the neighborhood to do groceries or other. Micheal was also very welcoming from the moment you walk through the door.
Lovely place and a very comfortable room. Michael was attentive to everything we needed, as it was our first time in Copenhague. The kitchen is available, so it is easy to have something for breakfast or dinner. Highly recommendable.
perfect location ... clean and functional home ... very comfortable bed ... Michael helpful and polite!!! If I go back I will stay here in Copenhagen
Wonderful room, in best location, close to everything. Micheal is the best host, never have I met host like him. He is very helpful and friendly. The bed is very nice and the room is very clean. I have been to Copenhagen 20 times, but this was the best place! The bike was very useful, best way to get around in CPH. I will stay here every time I am in Copenhagen, if I can.
We had a fabulous time in Copenhagen and enjoyed staying at Michael's apartment very much. He was a fantastic host, gave us many advices and made our trip really special.
The room was as described, very clean and comfy. We had everything we could wish for and felt very welcome. We can recommend Michael's apartment to everyone and would come back without hesitation.
Thank you so much Michael for this great time with you!

Letters From Our Customers:
Thanks For Your Expert Advice, I Am On My Way To Being Healthy Again
I also wanted to thank you so much for something you casually mentioned. In an email, you mentioned that I might want to look into a test to see if I had one leg shorter than the other because my knee pain was gone. Guess what- you were RIGHT! I went to an orthopaedic specialist who focuses on the foot and ankle. He was very casual and said I was healing fine. I insisted that he send me to someone who could make a brace of some sort. I can see that the same problem (posterior tibial tendonitis) was going to return if we did not get to the root of the problem.
I insisted that he at least send me to a person. Fortunately, he sent me to a certified Orthodist. She found a slight discrepency in my right foot. (That's the one with the cast on it.) She is getting new orthodics for me- PLUS I asked about a brace that could keep my feet from over pronating. The Orthopaedic specialist said he could put me in an Arizona brace. I was molded for the brace yesterday.
I truly appreciate your suggestion. No doctor thought to check into it. I am now swimming and have no more pain in the right ankle.
You have been a true blessing to me- in more ways than you will ever know. I know God had you pick up the phone when I called.
Again- THANKS for your kindness and expert advice. Don't forget to send me a link so I can write a review. Now I am on my way to being healthy again.

NFL Football Player Successfully Treated Achilles Tendonitis with Inferno Wrap
Hi, I'm Pro Wide Receiver Steve Smith. During this past off-season I experienced Achilles pain, so I began using the Ankle/Achilles Inferno Wrap. After using the Inferno Wrap for only a month, the pain in my Achilles subsided! Thanks to the Inferno Wrap my Achilles tendon is now feeling great!
If you are experiencing ankle or Achilles pain I strongly recommend trying out the Ankle/Achilles Inferno Wrap, it worked for me and I'm confident it will work for you! Thanks to the Inferno Wrap I can now focus on scorching the competition this season!
Steve Smith, NFL Pro Wide Receiver, NY USA
Therapist Using the Inferno and Freezie for Their Own Ailments
The first time I used the shoulder inferno wrap and the freezie wrap was to treat a rotator cuff injury I sustained from over use and aging. I was in my early 60's and an avid tennis player,kayaker, skier, hiker and biker for most of my life.
Doctors were recommending surgery but I opted for physical therapy. This helped but did not give me the relief I needed to continue with all of my athletic activities. Then I started using your product. After activities where I used my shoulder, even weight training, I used the freezie wrap followed by the inferno wrap. Then I used the inferno wrap periodically throughout the day while at work.
I'm a therapist and my clients were OK with me wearing the wrap during sessions if I felt the need to. I experienced the ability to use my shoulder and be completely pain free. I was thrilled. Then at age 65 I began to have achilles tendon inflammation which became extremely painful. Doctors explained to me that as we age tendons lose flexibility and are more prone to injury. I bought that explanation to a point but again tried physical therapy, prolonged stretching, Ibuprofen and rest.
I had relief if I used large regular doses of anti-inflamatory medications but was concerned about the long term negative affects of the meds. I purchased the Ankle inferno and freezie wrap and began the same routine I had used with my rotator cuff injury. I'm happy to say the results were the same. Even this aging body was able to repair and stretch my achilles tendon with exercise, and the cold and warm treatments from your products.
Now I am still playing tennis and doing all of my other activities and I remain pain free. After athletics I use the freezie wrap followed by the inferno wrap. Also, before I play racket sports or hike I use the inferno wrap on my ankle and follow with gentle stretching. When I get home I use the freezie wrap. Who knows how long I will be able to continue my active life style. But right now I know that these products are enabling me to be an active, vibrant, aging woman who can (almost) keep up with my kids.
I should add that I also maintain a healthy weight, train with weights, exercise every day and eat a plant based diet with lean protein. Even my healthy lifestyle wasn't enough to prevent these nagging injuries that become more prevalent as we age. So....thanks for making a great product ...... and my life more manageable.

I was back on the trails, running again on the 8th day!
My name is Bridget, and I am the one that received the Inferno Wrap that Doug purchased. I had stepped off of my front steps early on Halloween day, I missed the entire bottom step somehow.... and seriously rolled my ankle. I am a avid runner and try to get somewhere between 25-40 miles in a week depending on what I am training for at the time.
My ankle swelled like a balloon and stayed that way for 2 solid months! I was unable to run, and believe me I tried. I could barely even walk. I was unable to go to the Dr. because of some insurance issues that were being delt with, so I got on the Internet and started doing some research to see what I could do...
That is when I came across your web site. I am not gonna lie, I didn't believe it. I thought it all sounded to good to be true. I actually thought about it for a week before I decided to give it a try, the $ back guarantee is what the deciding factor was for me.
Bridget Pisan, USA
I am extremely impressed by the professionalism of your company
I have only used the inferno heat wrap for about 2 weeks for a fairly significant achilles tendon problem that has plagued me for several months. A recent MRI shows partial tears and an irregular shape to part of the tendon.
It seems to me I am getting amazing results already from use of the products I purchased. I am back to playing tennis on a limited basis and realize I need to show restraint but it certainly appears I am on the mend.
I am extremely impressed by the professionalism of your company and the personnel that I have talked to in the ordering process.

I Have Been Able To Avoid Tendon Surgery
A couple of years ago I helped my husband cut firewood on a hillside. I began to experience pain in my Achilles tendon shortly after we had finished getting all of the firewood cut, split and stacked. I limped through the winter and in the spring began to worry that I wouldn't be able to take care of my gardens.
I finally went to the doctor and was prescribed physical therapy.
The PT did help with the pain but didn't really "cure" the problem. I continued home physical therapy for another year and began to research therapies to help the tendon. I wanted to avoid surgery if possible.
I came across the MendMeShop website and read about the products recommended for Achilles tendon. The cost seemed minimal compared to what I had already spent at the doctor and physical therapist. I ordered the Inferno Wrap and the Freezie Wrap for the ankle and used them according to the directions.
I felt great pain relief and the flexibility in my Achilles returned within a few weeks of treatments.
I have also been using a night splint following my last Inferno Wrap night treatment before retiring. With that regimen, I have been able to avoid a surgical tendon correction and have been able to resume my normal busy activities.

The Inferno Worked For My Sprained Ankle
I'm treating a recent ankle sprain. The injury occurred while playing volleyball.
RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) alone or in the past did not seem to really help. I've tried other herbal remedies that didn't appear to help or still took a long time to recover. I did an internet search for a quicker recovery process.
I can tell immediately after each use that there is definitely less pain to the touch. And I always felt heat therapy worked better for me. Now I know why, because it promotes circulation and healing.
That's why I also purchased the Inferno Ankle Wrap. At first I did not feel it was providing enough heat. However, my foot was always sweating after each use! With other solutions the temperature was never constant and sometimes I would burn my foot. I knew from my past ankle sprain on my other leg that it took forever to heal. Even 2 years later, I still felt it move. This time I wanted to make sure it did not happen again.
Ching Vue, USA
Inversion ankle sprains are the most common ankle sprain. An inversion sprain occurs when the foot rolls over onto the lateral side in an inward motion. This motion puts added stress on the ligaments of the outer ankle and often this stress proves to be too much and you will suffer a sprain. Pain is always felt on the outside of the ankle, simply because that is where the injury has occured. There are three ligaments, the anterior and posterior talofibular ligaments and the calcanefibular ligament, that make up the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) on the outside of the ankle; these are the ligament(s) that are stretched or torn during an inversion sprain.
Upon spraining your ankle you will feel acute and localized pain on the side of the injured ankle. Depending on the severity of the injury, mild to heavy swelling will occur and may be accompanied by bruising and discolouration of the skin. The injury will be painful to the touch and it may be quite difficult to put weight on your ankle. Under these circumstances it is best to listen to your body and try to immobilize your ankle as much as possible.
The RICE (Rest Ice Compression Elevation) method has long been a tried and true treatment for sprains. The best way to heal is to reduce swelling and rest the ankle, the RICE method facilitates this as well as a quicker healing time.
Our cold compression wraps allow you to actively treat yourself using the RICE method. They work because they interrupt and slow nerve and cell function in the damaged area. Once blood vessels are damaged they can no longer carry oxygenated blood to the damaged tissue and therefore cells begin to break-down. The deep cold provided by our cold/warm compression wraps slows cell function thereby reducing cellular break-down. Furthermore, because the cold wraps serve to numb the nerves the wraps also reduce pain! Furthermore, our wraps keep the ice off the skin preventing frostbite and keep the cold in the area that you need it. You want to ice in 20 minute intervals with at least 45 minutes between each interval. Within a week or two it may prove useful to see your doctor about passive and more active stretching and strengthening for your injured ankle. For athletes, therapies will most likely be sports specific, and should be left to physical therapists.
When it comes time for more aggressive rehabilitation, stretching and activity, heat therapy warms the muscles in the injured area which increases range of motion and allows for a safer more thorough stretch.
It should be stressed here that in the initial stages of a sprain you should avoid treatments that will increase swelling such as hot showers, heat rubs, hot packs and consuming alcohol. During the initial phases of rehab the ankle should not be moved in any direction that mimics the direction in which the injury occured.
For more detailed information on how ultrasound is helping heal ankle sprains and many other injuries see our About Ultrasound section. Essentially, with regards to ankle joint sprains, ultrasound therapy provides stimulation to deep joint tissue. It has been found to aid distended connective tissue, which is important for stretching, thereby increasing range of motion for safer and more effective rehabilitation.
Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy™
During normal use, activity promotes blood flow through our body. Our body responds to the activity by sending oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to the muscles, joints and tissue. When we are at rest, the blood flow to your ankle is greatly reduced. But, when your ankle is injured, it really needs the blood flow to promote the healing process. Since you can't work your ankle without danger of further injury, you need to stimulate the blood flow another way. Our innovative Inferno Wraps give you the best Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy™ available. Inferno creates special energy waves that stimulate blood flow by penetrating through the outer layers of your ankle. The energy waves reach deep into your muscles, tendons and cartilage, reducing your pain as they heal the inner tissue.
An Inferno Ankle Wrap gives you unparalleled blood flow stimulation energy. You simply won�t find a comparable product on the market. Other therapy products can not come close to offering the comfortable, contoured fit and targeted energy treatment an Inferno Wrap provides. You will feel the soothing, deep penetrating warmth as it works to stimulate your blood flow, we guarantee it. Now you can reduce your pain and heal your ankle anywhere with the comfortable, light weight Inferno Ankle Wrap.
Doctor's Orders
While it is true that ankle sprains seldom require a doctor's attention it may be apparent that your injury is severe enough to warrant a visit to him or her. If you have substantial and continual pain even after a week or any other cause for concern a visit to the doctor is an order. Doctors may prescribe medications, crutches, braces and in severe cases the ankle be placed in a full cast for several weeks. For full ruptures or recurring injuries, including "ankle instability", surgery may be required, however the vast majority of sprains do not require surgery.

The Coen brothers have released the trailer for their latest film, Inside Llewyn Davis. The movie is loosely based on Dave Van Ronk, a central figure in the Greenwich Village folk scene of the 60s which gave rise to luminaries such as Bob Dylan. Its first trailer shows Davis, played by Oscar Isaac, struggling to find recognition for his music and enduring a withering lesson on sex from his former love interest, played by Carey Mulligan.

When we woke up to our alarm at 5am we were a little bit on the edge about getting up (especially since it looked a bit cloudy and that could ruin the sunrise) but we managed to pull ourselves out of bed anyway. We of course took advantage of the showers at the campsite before we left (at which point we were glad we had ended up at a campground because we were skyping Luke, James` brother, at noon and didn`t want to look like such greasy bums).
We drove up to the carpark and then preceded on foot to the lighthouse in the dark with just my (James) head lamp for light which was very nice considering there were no railings on the path and it was a straight 100ft drop down to the rocks. We waited for the sun to rise and realized that we were about an hour early for sunrise but stuck it out nonetheless
On our way back to the van we saw a group of seals playing at the bottom of the cliff and Jackie jokingly suggested we climb down to get a better look, I always being the voice of reason and seeing how impossibly steep and covered with bush it was decided it was not a healthy idea.
After all the picture taking we headed out and then stopped at some random beach on the way. We ventured out on the rocks and almost got caught out there as the tide started coming in (good thing we're quick). Next we headed to a town called Owaka where we walked to a place called Jack`s blowhole (and took more pictures of course).
At noon we were supposed to skype my brother back home and wish him a happy birthday which we did thanks to a little cafe in Owaka (it being the only place in town with internet).
After skyping home we drove to `Cathedral Caves` and got some amazing pictures of caves that went really deep into the cliffs and are only accessible from the beach at low tide (unfortunately it was raining the entire time so we were soaked by the time we got back to the van).
We stopped at Curio bay and walked around a petrified forrest and saw a penguin that was hopping back up the rocks to it`s nest!! (our first live penguin, the first one we kind of stumbled upon earlier at the caves and it wasn`t very lively if you get my drift).
Once again this evening was spent on a little spot by the river!

Blair White and the Iris Brothers
Book by: Zukii Strange
Status: Finished
Genre: War and Military
Chapter1 (v.1) - Blair White and the Iris Brothers
Walking to school had its benifits and its disadvantages. A benifit is walking, and the disadvantage is not knowing whats going to happen while your on your way to the first destination of the day. But in my case I only liked the walking the most. It was a twenty minute walk to school and I never eat breakfast at home so I stop at a diner caled Avendale.
Before my dad died after I was born he was best friends with the waiter and owner of Avendale. Turns out my mother worked their after I was born and the owner introduced her to my dad. They started to date two months before they conseved me, My mom never told him that I was his baby; she did'nt think it was right to say anything. That was her longest relationship, I can't understand why she wouldn't but sixteen years is long she could have told. Sixteen years later they were found murdered on the side of the road with their necks sliced right open. Almost as if they were forced to stop, I didn't even get a chance to say good-bye.
I stopped by to grab a bite to eat and headed off to Brinkley high.
Its a monday and honestly I really dont think anybody really likes Mondays and I'm one of those many. Walking in to the school I got stares by people I only new since freshman year and being a junior they see you different when they get to know the real you. After a while you start to wonder how things got so out of hand and why it got so out of hand. In Kentucky schools seemed old but they came with a new feeling even I could not escape. The old brick and cement that was aged with small to large holes reminded me that were I come from history was made on that cement. And speaking of history. That was my easiest class to pass I have a 100 on everything. As I walked into my History class and as always Mr. Swanski is there at the door to greet you. I always thought my teacher looked like a pervert which in some cases its a bad sign. But in this one hes normal. Though hes like thirty-seven and divorced three times and lives with his younger sister and my Art teacher Mrs. LaVettski and her husband you start to think less of it once you find out more about who you work with. Mr. Swanski was very short for his age and very bulky definately not the good kind of bulky that you'd usually think. He's so big he can almost not fit in the doorway.
While I took my seat in the back of the class room I had come to realize I was next to a new student. He had to have been new, I'd never seen him here before. He was slightly tan,but mainly very pale. To put this in 'Oh my gosh' terms, he's so pale that his cheeks have no color to them. With dark brown hair with a light carmel looking frost that most women would have killed for. He had the most beautiful deep green eyes that I have ever seen. He stood at a possible "6'4 compared to my tallness standing at a5'11" and a 6'1" in two inch heels. I hate being taller than most men in my grade but it was worth it. He was taller than me and that I was cool with. He wasnt quit goth not even normal. Normal was way past that but he wore dark clothing so that made it hard to tell what he was like. I knew from sitting next to him that he wore different colors but it was out of a pale white to a grey to a dark black color. Threw his shirt you could see nothing but pure muscule break through his shirt. Shocks and chills were sent straight to my heart just seeing him there so close to me it was breath taking. He was perfect.
Weeks went by till I stole a glance over a him and my body went into a melting seziure, I had to contain my breathing and be in control. He was constantly staring at me so I knew he had a thing for me...his eyes still periced me, and his accent was British like, but fuller and unique. To me this made him different. His voice sang to me as he spoke. The INtire time he was here I never paid enough attenion in any of my classes to know his name. And all I wanted to know was the one question about him. So I made the mistake and turned and asked the question I was holding back the whole four weeks he had been here, only when I did It came out as my native tongue. "Cine suntei?" and he answered in the same moment. All I could think was that he understood me. "Charlie Iris, and you are?" his eyes were a percing Emerald deeper than your average green. I was in a trance.
"If you must know I'm Blair White President of all sixteen book clubs here at Brinkley High. Welcome to the home of the Pheniox here in the Kentucky State." After I said this it was clear that maybe I shouldn't have said anything in the first place. He looked at me as if I was a dead poor lost puppy that he had finally found. As if to respond he answered my thought. " I'm sorry you just look so famillar to me. I Can't quite put my finger on it. It's been years since coming back to the states. I was very 'young' coming here. It was probably then of why I seem to remeber you. Did you live in Covington when growing up?" His question had caught me off gaurd and left me wondering if I even remeber seeing him. But the thought didn't really sink in as much as I had really wondered. " Umm... I grew up there till I was four then I moved for personal reasons...now that I'm back I've given it some thought now...I think that I want to stay." I peeked a smile in the conversation when I did he saw me and returned the gesture with a smile and left me wanting another. How can someone so perfect looking come here to this boring little town and be so calm about it. I mean it's not boring but what I am saying is he could be here for short term so why try and make friends with the guy. Still not sure what I wanted to do just yet.
His next words made me regret talking to him. "Well, you know what? I think I'm going to invest a lot of time here. I'm looking forward to seeing more of this place. Maybe the people might even suprise me. I'll catch up with you some more if you'd like I can come by later. Here's my number if you still want me to come by later. See you at home neighbor." as he finished talking he gathered his stuff and walked away as the bell ringed for fist period to end. I didn't even get to ask him any more questions. I was literally cramming my stuff in my bag trying to catch up with him into the hall. As I was coming out of the class room it seemed as if he disappeared out of thin air.
Almost as if he wasn't even really here and just a figment of my imagination. If I was, which I'm certain that I wasn't talking to myself, but I was certain that he was real. Even my imagination was nothing like that. I don't think my imagination would even contain such a vivid image.

Will the last large piece of open space in North Providence turn into the site of 47 single family homes? That decision currently rests with the Rhode Island General Assembly and the Rhode Island Supreme Court. The outcome could jeopardize open space preservation statewide.
North Providence Mayor Charles Lombardi and most town leaders want to preserve 15 acres of land on Wenscott Lake that abuts Governor John A Notte, Jr. Park. But developer John Petrarca of Generation Realty LLC proposes to turn the property, which currently houses the youth summer camp, Camp Meehan, into private homes.
Last year, legislation to allow the town to seize the land by eminent domain passed the state Senate, but failed in the House of Representatives, prompting suspicions of insider political deals. Petrarca's son is a state representative and his hired consultant is former North Providence state Representative Vincent Mesolella. Petrarca also donates generously to political campaigns. Since 2007, according to the Rhode Island Board of Elections records, Petrarca contributed $18,700 to Rhode Island candidates, including $2000 to House Speaker William Murphy (D-West Warwick), $1000 to House Majority Leader Gordon Fox (D-Providence), and $600 to Senate President Teresa Paiva Weed (D-Newport).
His son, state Representative Peter Petrarca (D-Lincoln), is the registered agent for Generation Realty LLC and recused himself from deliberations over the bill.
This year, the House passed the eminent domain bill, but the Senate has not. The elder Petrarca, however, who is also the owner of Providence Auto Body Inc., says he is disinterested in the legislation, because the Rhode Island Supreme Court will decide the property's future. About 10 years ago, when North Providence rezoned Camp Meehan from residential to open space as part of its comprehensive plan revision, Petrarca says, it violated state law by advertising the plan change in the newspaper and not individually notifying property owners. In February, Superior Court Judge Patricia Hurst agreed. North Providence's appeal of her decision is pending at the Rhode Island Supreme Court.
A loss for the town would have a "devastating effect statewide," Lombardi warns, because open space in other towns that was rezoned in a similar way could be declared open to development.
If the Supreme Court agrees the property is zoned residential, Petrarca says, it will cost the town about $3.5 million to seize by eminent domain from the current owner, Providence based non-profit Capital Cities Community Centers.
"Yeah, OK," responds Lombardi, who puts the property's value at $500,000 as open space.
"Fifteen acres on a lake?" Petrarca asked in disbelief.
In 2006, Lincoln purchased 82 acres of open space adjoining Camp Meehan from Capital Cities for $3.2 million. Lombardi's predecessor, current Secretary of State Ralph Mollis, declined to buy the North Providence portion of the land and Capital Cities made an agreement with Petrarca.
Lombardi vows to do everything he can to protect the property and charges that Petrarca is "trying to make a quick score." Petrarca counters that a personal dispute with Lombardi, which he declined to explain, prevented a settlement years ago. Now he promises a fight until the Supreme Court rules. "Someone will be standing," he predicts, "and someone will be down."
"I don't know what he's talking about," Lombardi responded when asked about the personal dispute. "Mr. Petrarca's problem is he's used to pushing people around and he's not going to push Charlie Lombardi around."

text: Many questions on whether a woman at the age of 50 can get pregnant, have always been asked by many people simply because at this age many women do not even experience any form of menstrual periods at all. This age is often referred to as perimenopausal age. However, pregnancy here requires a lot of concentration on various items that will pose threats to the mums aspiring to get babies at this late stage.

U.S. Department of Justice
United States Attorney
Southern District of Mississippi
November 4, 2011
Jackson, Miss - A federal grand jury has indicted twelve Mississippians for their involvement in a scheme to defraud the United States Department of Education of federal student aid funds, U.S. Attorney John Dowdy announced today. Stephanie R. Brewer a/k/a Stephanie R. Williams, 41, Kashayla Henry, 32, Laketa Vaughn, 31, and Laketra Vaughn, 31, of Columbus; Shawanda Bryant, 36, Frances Rigdon, 35, Lakeisha Smith, 28, Shameka Smith, 29, Shanika Smith, 25, Tommie Wallace, 44, and Santario Yates, 21, of Macon; and Cedrick Thomas, 29, of Shuqualak, were charged in the 22-count indictment returned on Tuesday, November 1, 2011. The charges include mail fraud, financial aid fraud and conspiracy to commit mail fraud and financial aid fraud.
According to the indictment, the defendants prepared and submitted fraudulent student admission applications and loan applications, and received federal financial aid when they never intended to attend the online courses. The indictment alleges that Stephanie Brewer expected a "fee" or "cut" of approximately $800.00 from the federal financial aid awarded to each fraudulent student. As a result, over $52,000 in student loan and grant funds were unlawfully disbursed to these defendants.
The case is scheduled for trial on January 9, 2012 before U.S. District Judge Henry T. Wingate in Jackson. If found guilty, Stephanie Brewer, who is named in all 22 counts of the indictment, faces a maximum penalty of 260 years in prison. Kashayla Henry faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison, and each of the remaining defendants face a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison.
Agents from the United States Department of Education Office of Inspector General conducted the investigation in this case.
U.S. Attorney Dowdy noted that, as in any criminal case, a person is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty. The charges filed merely contain allegations of criminal conduct.

text: Chris Kyle was murdered not too far south of where I'm at right now. In fact, I had recently looked into a place to go shooting and I had come across the very range where he was killed at (in Glen Rose, Texas) and I even visited his website some time ago while researching training and certification to make hunting trips more fruitful and home defense more secure. But, alas, I never registered for any of the classes or visited that range. I wish I had. Chris Kyle's Company - If you want to make a donation to his family, I suggest going straight to Craft International as you know the income goes straight to his next of kin. "Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself unstained by the world." - James 1:27 (HCSB) - - - Updated - - - Update: I do all of the website work for a conglomerate company in Mansfield, Texas, that owns a bunch of different businesses including a large restaurant-bar-club in Mansfield called Fat Daddy's Sports & Spirits Cafe. Anyhow, because it's one of the largest venues of it's type in the southern part of the DFW area (I guess) and is only about 10 miles NW of Midlothian (where the Kyle family lived), the Navy SEALs rented it out last night to have a "private party", which was a few hundred of them getting together to honor the falling of Chris Kyle. What's odd is that we had rumors that the Westboro Baptist Church protesters (who were surrounded when they tried to picket his funeral at Cowboy's Stadium - from what I was told) were going to come to Fat Daddy's to protest as well. They never showed up. I will never understand that group. - - - Updated - - - Second Update: HAHA, just talked to the GM at Fat Daddy's. Last night one of the SEALs got up on the bar and hung an American flag from the top of the bar (and this is a big bar), then hung Kyle's skull and crossbones flag (that's his unit I guess). One of the managers was like, "What's he doing? He can't do that." The GM laughed and told him to go ahead and get up there and take it down if he wanted to. lol. The flags stayed up there all night.

Click any word in a definition or example to find the entry for that word
a written description of someone's experiences which includes recipes or focuses on food
'Done well, memoirs about love and food go together like steak and martinis. Meals are a perfect application for the "show, don't tell" directive, from proposal soufflé to break-up pastina. These foodoirs have become a successful subset, one part chick lit mixed with one part chicken lit.'New York Times 3rd December 2009
In January 2010 prolific actor Meryl Streep won a Golden Globe award for her role in the film Julie and Julia. The film is in part based on a bestselling book of the same name, in which author Julie Powell chronicles her attempts to execute each and every recipe in Mastering the Art of French Cooking, a landmark cookbook written in 1961 by American TV chef Julia Child. Against a backdrop of the trials and tribulations of everyday life, the book follows Julie's triumphs and disasters as she grapples with the complexities of recipes such as Homard à l'Américaine (lobster simmered with wine, tomatoes, garlic and herbs) and Bifteck Sauté Bercy (pan-broiled steak with shallot and white-wine sauce). Julie and Julia, with its blend of autobiographical information and gastronomic commentary, is a high-profile example of what is now being referred to as a foodoir.
the publishing industry have also capitalised on the money-making potential of the foodoir as a synthesis of two enduringly successful book categories: autobiography and cookery
A foodoir is an account of someone's personal experiences characterised by a strong emphasis on food, either through the inclusion of recipes or using food as a mechanism for expression. Among the first examples were the works of American food writer Ruth Reichl, restaurant critic for the New York Times. In books such as Tender at the Bone: Growing up at the Table (1999), Reichl describes the fascinating characters who shaped her world and her tastes, punctuating her musings with recipes which could then bring the flavour of her stories directly to reader's plates. Over in Britain, among the more notable examples of a foodoir is the autobiography of food writer and TV chef Nigel Slater. In Toast: The story of a boy's hunger (2003), Slater gives a poignant description of his early childhood, using family meals and food traditions as evocative images of childhood memories. Each of his brief anecdotes are headed by subtitles such as 'sherry trifle' or 'Christmas cake'.
The recent popularity of the foodoir has in part been galvanised by blogging, which seems to act as a natural platform for the format, allowing writers to weave their personal lives into the cooking process and lay the whole thing out on screen. The publishing industry have also capitalised on the money-making potential of the foodoir as a synthesis of two enduringly successful book categories: autobiography and cookery.
Foodoir is a blend of food and memoir (= an account of someone's personal experiences, usually written by the person themselves). Memoir dates back to the 15th century, deriving from French mémoire meaning 'memory'. It bucks the conventional trend for blends in that one of the components is an obvious borrowing or loanword.
Foodoir follows other recent neologisms in the domain of literary genres, including chick/lad lit (novels written for or about young women/men) and fan fiction or fanfic (stories featuring characters from a particular series of books which are written by fans rather than the original author).

Forest Service meets with Rainbow Family, no decision on location of gathering
DEER LODGE, Mont. - Officials with the U.S. Forest Service tells NBC Montana the Rainbow Family has not indicated to them a final location for this year's gathering.
The Forest Service tells us they have been in contact with organizers. They explained that there has been an open dialogue between the group and the government and they are working out details.
One of the details the Forest Service is looking at specifically is the impact of a large group of people on the forest.
The last gathering in Montana drew more than 20,000 people.
Cass Cairns is the Incident Manager for the gathering. She explained it's "definitely a very open dialogue, and our law enforcement folks have been communicating with them ever since they started looking for different potential sites. So it is a good working relationship, and it's to make sure whatever site is selected is going to be the most suited to the gathering."
Once a final location is determined people from across the country will begin to show up.
The festival peaks over the Fourth of July holiday.
Some folks have been critical of the event saying it damages the forest and creates undue stress on local communities.
Members of the Rainbow Family told us they work to leave the land in the same condition they found it in.

Teen tells police he fired gun at would-be burglars
PUEBLO, Colo. - A 14-year-old Pueblo boy told police he believes he shot one of three men who broke into his house while he was home alone Wednesday (1/15/14).
The incident happened at 3:25 p.m. in the 700 block of E. 2nd Street.
The teen told police he heard someone in the house, so he grabbed a handgun and started firing. He says three men broke into the home and he believes that he shot one of them.
Officers found that the back door was kicked in and the power to the house had been
shut off. The investigation found no blood or other evidence of anyone having been
wounded. Police searched the neighborhood and checked with local hospitals for people suffering from gunshot wounds, but none were found.
The Pueblo Police Department says there has been a rash of burglaries on the east side of the city recently. They say the burglars typically park in an alley, then knock on the front door to see if anyone is home. If there is no answer, they go around to the back door, kick it in, and go inside the house.
If anyone has any information regarding this incident, you are urged to call Pueblo
Police at 719-553-2502 or Pueblo Crime Stoppers 719-542-STOP (7867).

UTSA raises $232K in charitable campaign
By Albert Carrisalez
UTSA SECC Chairman and Director of External Affairs
(Nov. 29, 2006)--Thank you UTSA! You rock. This year, together, you helped raise more than $232,000 for the State Employee Charitable Campaign (SECC), and you helped UTSA reach a 62 percent employee participation rate -- a 7 percent increase over last year. Success!
You have demonstrated that UTSA cares and that you care.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up

Last year, 330 UTSA family members utilized a service provided by a local agency or charity supported through SECC in San Antonio. This year, on UTSA Today you met:
- Arnold, the 17-year-old nephew of Victoria Jacques, UTSA customer relations representative in the Office of Facilities Operations. Arnold was born prematurely and received support through March of Dimes, an SECC-affiliated agency.
- Matt, the 24-year-old son of Margaret Costantino, UTSA Ph.D. student in the College of Education and Human Development. Matt has cerebral palsy and has had numerous surgeries to treat hydrocephalus and muscular contractures. Through ARC (Association for Retarded Citizens - San Antonio), which is supported by SECC, Matt has received full-time day habilitation for young adults with developmental disabilities.
- Barry McKinney, UTSA director of student activities, who shared with us his amazing story of growing up with Wilms' Tumor, a malignant tumor of the kidney and other organs that strikes young children. The emotional struggles he and his parents encountered and the financial burden of medical costs were absorbed through St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, another agency supported by SECC.
- Karen Halamuda, senior systems analyst in the Office of Information Technology, and 10 other UTSA employees who volunteer one hour each week over their lunch hour to deliver meals to senior citizens. Meals on Wheels is a program administered by Christian Senior Services and supported by SECC to deliver proper nutrition to senior citizens.
These are examples of UTSA families that come to work each day knowing that SECC has made a difference in their lives and the lives of our fellow San Antonians.
To everyone at UTSA who participated in the campaign, thanks for doing what matters. To all the Area Champions and members of the planning committee, thanks for opening your hearts and for making UTSA proud.

KIRSTIN SAYS: Not Only Is Charice 'The Most Talented Girl In The World,' She's Also The Shyest!
At Tuesday night's Glee premiere and afterparty, the 18-year-old singer spent most of the night with her family and close friends – and seemed nervous around everyone else!
I know how much you all love Charice, and after hearing hear rendition of "Listen" from Dreamgirls at the Glee premiere Sept. 7, I'm right there with you! That said, given how popular the 18-year-old international superstar is, I was surprised by how shy and quiet she is for a girl with such a huge voice!
As we walked onto the Paramount Studios lawn for the premiere afterparty, guests clamored to chat with the show's stars. Even though she was deemed "the most talented girl in the world" by Oprah, Charice seemed unsure of herself and super shy, sticking close to her family and friends for most of the party.
But despite her shyness, Charice was the most approachable celebrity there. When I approached her for a photo she cheerfully agreed, "Of course!" and even waited while we got the camera to work. TOTALLY not a diva!
"You barely come up to my chin!" I said, bending down to be closer to this little 4'11" peanut. She laughed and nodded her head. When my group and I told the pint-sized Filipina actress she was a standout in the premiere episode, she flashed a big smile and said, "Thank you so much!" appreciatively.
Charice continued to wave and smile at us for the rest of the night — as though SHE was the one who was honored to meet us, notthe other way around.
I loved meeting (and supporting) this incredibly talented and down-to-earth celebrity. But now I have one request: Charice, please stay humble…it's really so refreshing to meet someone without attitude in Hollywood!

Awesome! So happy for you, the room is huge. My DH is a woodworker, doesn't do furniture anymore, but he is sitting by me and said "Nice!"

Quilting is an addiction that you can be proud of and enjoy.
