Meet the Sunrise of Metairie Team
Meet some of the fantastic members of our team here at Sunrise of Metairie, LA.
Iris Granat
Executive Director
"I have been with Sunrise Senior Living for 13 years. I have had the opportunity to serve our residents first as the Assisted Living Coordinator, then the Resident Care Director, followed by the Executive Director role, which I've held for the past 10 years. I was a member of the start-up team at both Sunrise of Bayou St. John in New Orleans and here at Sunrise of Metairie.
Each day I feel blessed with the opportunity to assist our residents, their families and our wonderful team members. The best part of working at Sunrise is serving amongst such kind, compassionate people who believe and uphold our Principles of Service, mission and values. We are united in delivering quality care.
In my spare time, I enjoy the outdoors and having special family time with my husband, children and my two lovely little granddaughters!"
Jennifer Manuel, RN
Resident Care Director
"I have been with Sunrise since October 2012. Prior to Sunrise, I worked at West Jefferson Hospital on the medical surgery floor for seven years.
My favorite part of the job is spending quality time with our residents, whom I consider to be a part of my family. At Sunrise, we have a team who works together and will get the job done.
In my spare time, I enjoy looking at Pinterest, watching HGTV, and spending time with my children and husband."
Cheryl Henry
Assisted Living Coordinator
"I have been with Sunrise for more than 12 years. I really value the daily interaction with our residents, their family members and my fellow team members.
Sunrise is a company that cares not only about the residents, but also about the team members. Working in our community is akin to being at home with my family; this is my extended family.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I particularly enjoy spending time with my daughter. Since we don't live in the same town, our busy schedules don't allow us to see each other often enough!"
Schelita M. Smith
Dining Services Coordinator
"I've been working for Sunrise for nearly 10 years. My favorite part of my role as Dining Services Coordinator is watching my residents enjoy their meal. At Sunrise, we are all one big family; I've watched my co-workers and residents grow up, get married, start new families, and create memories both happy and sad.
When I'm not at work, I travel every chance I get – even if it's just to play tourist in my own town."
Janet Ferran
Activities & Volunteer Coordinator
"I have been a member of the Sunrise of Metairie team for five years. My favorite part of my job is finding new and exciting events that my residents can not only enjoy but participate in the planning of, such as our annual Easter Bonnet Tea. For that event, each resident designed their own bonnet, and each hat was a unique reflection of that resident.
Our newest and most successful monthly Culinary Dining Experience was our Moonlight Serenade. We offered VIP seating, served filet mignon and had wine stewards who keep the wine flowing while our violinist serenaded the residents. They are still talking about their special night. For another special surprise, I found a steel drum band for our Family and Friends Luau. The residents were wowed!
The best part of working at Sunrise is seeing the enriched quality of life I am able to provide each day for my residents. Their lovely smiles tell me that it is a job well done.
When I'm not at work, I am with my grandchildren."

The True You. By Sophia
All credit to a great friend of mine, Sophia. She wrote me this poem because I was low and had just had an argument with the (now ex-)boyfriend about changing my appearance (he loved me for who I am- Awww.) and the T-Rex part has something to do with a dream I had about a T-Rex chasing me, then it giving up on trying to eat me because it prefers jelly beans....
You can cover yourself with make-up,
but it will not cover your face.
You can go and get surgery,
but people will see your skin.
you can try and hide your feelings,
but it will not hide the true you.
You can wear a mask,
but people will still see right through.
You can cry all day,
but you can also get up and chase your fears away.
The T-rex may still chase you,
if the jelly beans won't keep it at bay.
The people will still love you,
even though you run away.
And even if people don't want you change,
even if you do,
they will still love you all the same.

I seriously doubt that folks can PM guest users. But even if possible, I — for one — would never buy gear from anyone posting "anonymously"!
I noticed that you posted your "gear for sale" using your own handle. That's the right way to do it.

You can't compete with a rapper who makes his own beats, a claim BeatKing made on Twitter recently, and an explanation for his insanely prolific output over the last year. 2014 gave us Gangsta Stripper Music 2,Pole Sex, and Underground Cassette Tape Music, and the Houston phenomenon already has sequels planned for a couple of those releases later this year.
Today, he's sharing his new album Club God 4 as a free stream, and its his most varied and comprehensive work to date. From collaborations with Danny Brown, RiFF RAFF, and Paul Wall, to subtle experimentation with EDM, BeatKing is ready to break into a wider audience, while still keeping his core fans satisfied.

Chapter Eight - Cafeteria
"Well, in our "special class" we…"
"We?" Alexis and Bridgette asked.
"We learn to cook," Madison said brightly.
"THAT'S IT?!?!" Bridgette and Alexis exclaimed.
"No, we also have to learn to take care of ourselves. Like bank accounts and house care."
"Why couldn't you have told it was just this before?" Alexis asked.
"That's what I'm doing now!" Madison said." Well at least we know-"
The car stopped. Everyone started getting up and out of the bus. They were there.
The Cafeteria Building was small but cozy. As they entered the building, they felt the change of air. From the hot and humid sun into the cool and freezing AC was a big transformation. The cafeteria was huge in the inside. There were like 3 floors, each containing probably like 100 tables. Some people were sitting on the stairs. Others were sitting on the tables with their friends.
"Man, am I hungry!" Madison said patting her stomach.
Alexis held on to Bridgette's wrist and they joined the line.
"Well at least today they have my favorite. Spaghetti!" Bridgette said.
When they got to the front of the line, each of them got a tray. As they passed the counter, Bridgette took spaghetti and meatballs, soup and some more stuff. Man, this is probably the best meal of my life after mom and dad's death, she thought. But Bridgette's face grew white when she remembered the horrifying memory.
She shook her head and took extra spaghetti and joined Madison and Alexis on a table on the far right corner.
"So, how is life going?" Madison asked Bridgette.
"Maddie, is that all you can say?"
Madison grinned.
"Bridge, do you have any questions about this school?" Alexis asked.
"Actually, yes. How strict are the teachers?"
"Well, nearly all the teachers are Japanese. Only 4 of them are Americans. But we have to refer to them as "sensei" which is the Japanese way of saying teacher," Madison explained.
"There is Jinno-sensei. He is like really strict. He has this stick he hits us with if we do bad things in class."
"Like what?"
"Like… you know the usual. Disrespecting teachers and stuff like that," Alexis replied, "He teaches Biology."
"Then there is Misaki-sensei. He is the kindest of them all. He is the one who teaches the "special class" and music and also language arts," Madison said, "And then there is-"
"Enough of the teachers. Next topic."
"Who is Raphael Velvic? What's his background story?"
"Raphael's father was the owner of this school as well as the principal. He had died from cancer and in his will he had wrote that the school is now his son's property. Raphael's mother ordered Raphael to become the principal of the school as well as a student," Madison narrated.
"Okay. Are there any festivals?" Bridgette asked.
"Well of course! There is prom and-"
Alexis cleared her throat.
"Can I talk please?"
Madison nodded and sunk down in her chair.
"As she was saying, there is Prom Night and The Halloween Dance. Those are the most popular. They have the Valentines Dance, Homecoming Party and much more."
"For Father's Day and Mother's Day we prepare cards and send it to our parents-" Madison said but was interrupted when she felt a stabbing pain in her ribs.
Alexis had nudged her there as she saw Bridgette's face changing.
"WHY DID YOU SAY THAT?" Alexis hissed at Madison.
"Well, I didn't know she would be that affected by what I-"
"It's okay you guys," Bridgette said forcing a smile.
Alexis and Madison breathed a sigh of relief. But in Bridgette's mind, the terrible accident that had happened to her and her parents kept revolving in her mind. The flashing lights, the screams of her parents, the fall… NO! I have to forget about that memory! Bridgette thought as she finished her lunch and left.
Alexis looked worriedly at Bridgette as Madison asked, "Do you think we should go with her?"
Alexis shook her head and said, "I think she needs to be alone for a while."
Madison nodded and continued eating.

As an industrial salesman I can sometimes get lost in bad neighborhoods. I'm interested in learning how to always have the element of surprise on my side.

There is a story from long ago about a teenager young dumb full of stuff who rode with a bunch of guys fresh from long vacations in rice paddies. They rode crude rude customs made in American alleys and backyards. They wore jean jacket cuts over leathers with colorful patches on the back. They rode hard lived hard, everyone packed, some lived long enough to grow up and laugh at the follies of youth. Some things dropped by the wayside replaced with careers families and community service others remained the code the road, bikes and brothers. Guns remain because we've seen what slithers and crawls through the darkness and hides in the mist
Abort the Obamanation not the Constitution
Those who would, deny, require permit, license, certification, or authorization for me to bear arms are as vile, dangerous & evil as those who would molest, abuse, assault, rape or murder my family

Far too many times where stuff really got on the fan....not even counting approaches and "interviews".
Attempted Assualts/robbery by 1-3 bangers, bank robbery with shots fired, 2 punks with pitbulls ... etc.
It's all better now .... left the big cities and moved to a quiet wonderful small town.
Old testament....Shooting to Live 1942
Newer testament... Kill or Get Killed 1976/1987
I got into a confrontation with 8 then 2 nights later 10 people who were trespassing at my sub division. Nothing came of it and both times they left with a lot of grumbling. I realized I'm way too old for this and thought I need to get a CCW. After doing this I realized I need to call the LEO's and not confrount thugs, that's just looking for trouble. I think this day and age bad people have no problem doing harm to others and I'm happy I am prepared to defend my wife and I should the need arise.
While I was in college, and four years after, I worked part-time for the sheriffs department, and the department required you to carry 24/7; So, I got use to having a pistol on me, and learned first hand how handy being armed can be sometimes.
When he was in high school my son got in with a rough crowd. One evening I told him that he needed to stay home and wasn't driving them around. When I stepped outside onto the porch one of the kids was hiding in the bushes beside the front door and jumped at me. He was yelling that he was going to take my head off. The kid blew a gasket because my son was the only one in the group with a car and without him they didn't have any wheels. I was lucky I saw him coming and side stepped his run at me. I walked to my truck and got a shovel handle out of the back of the truck and stood there with it until they all left. I thought at that point I could have easily been beaten down because there were 4 of them.
My son has finally grown up and is making better decisions and hanging with much better people. Unfortunately, many of his old friends have gone to jail for one thing or another and they are just starting to get out and they come to MY house looking for him.
We learned from visiting with our son that he used to try to impress these guys and told them we are rich (We definately aren't rich). But my wife works for a bank and I have a good job. I'd hate for one of these kids to get the idea they could get rich by robbing or killing us.
Another reason is that last year we had an anonymous person who started leaving us gift packages on our door step. It was always around the time we came home for lunch. We don't take lunch over the noon hour and they apparently knew this because sometimes they left us ice cream and it was still frozen on days when it was over 100 degrees outside. The police knew who it was and took care of it but said the person has mental issues. That bothered my wife.
My job also puts me in a position where people want to meet with me in the evenings, inside abandoned buildings and out in the country. Many times these are people I know nothing about.
I have a family member who was attacked by a man twice his size. He spent a week in the hospital with severe head trauma not knowing whether he would live. This man was orignally charged with attempted manslaughter. By the end of everything they guy was sented to 5 weekends in the county jail. He's out now and still very proud of his "tough guy" reputation.
I have a friend who was shot and killed at his home during a burglary. There have been numerous burglaries in our area and some of those have occured at night while the homes were occupied.
And I've witnessed a lot of strange activities while I've been hunting and fishing by myself. I've seen people I believe are setting up meth labs in the woods.
I have a wife and kids to protect and this world is getting a little rougher every day.

You can't fix stupid. Ron White
Fewer issues taking a gun to a range (where to store, etc).
Concerned about changing regulations at national level. Want to be grandfathered (if it helps).
To have the option, beyond work, home, and open carry in the woods. Like what if I'm out in the woods, cousin in pick-up drives up, wants to head to town. I don't have to go back to cabin / house to drop off (a possibly unlocked) firearm.
First off, LE cannot be everywhere and we cannot count on them to protect all of us. We need to be concious of our surroundings and aware of the possibility of attack by either natural disasters, terrorists, gangs or the unsuspecting neighbor and his dog. Its my responsiblity to stay alive and protect my family. I am a survivalist and always will be. The military taught me well.
I also travel with my work and live in an RV fulltime. RV's are not know for their fortress characteristics. Living in RV parks brings in some nasty people who are transient and usually only there short periods. I never know where I will be working, large cities, bad areas or just being around new people who I dont trust.

"Government is not the solution to our problem; government IS the problem". - Ronald Reagan 1981
Old testament....Shooting to Live 1942
Newer testament... Kill or Get Killed 1976/1987
Where to start?
I was 13 years old. A man had his head beat in with a lead pipe outside my back door. A strangers decided to kill his buddy for no apparent reason within 20 feet of my house in a well-to-do, white suburban neighborhood.
17 years old. A freind also living in a nicer, crime-free neighborhood was mugged, raped, and beaten to death by a group of men.
20. A coworker was beaten into a 6-month stay in the intensive care with an aluminum baseball bat. He was aparently the target of a gang-initiation seeker. He has permanent brain damage and was unable to complete college. Before the attack he was on his way to being a $200,000/yr graphics design artist from Juliard Academy. He now works at a factory stamping parts.
22. Multiple times now I have returned to my car to find groups of punks brawling in/on/or around it. None of them take to kindly to me telling them to get the hell off my car. Not even watching me call the police made a difference. Not until they heard the sirens did they melt away like a snowball in summer.
22. Later this year I will be moving into downtown Akron, OH. Considering my budget it probably wont be the good part of town. After Cleveland, Akron is probably the most crime-infested part of Ohio.
We are only as vulnerable as we are naive.
my wife and I were at a motel and some one tried to come in the room while we were sleeping. Not a good feeling. we were in Little Rock arkansas.
Why Would A Preacher ever need a Gun? Its Not for the Sheep , its for the Wolves!
Springfield Armory Service XD 40
Taurus PT 1911 45 acp Taurus PT 101, PT 92
Ruger 22/45 Ruger P95 9mm, Ruger SR9
Kahr CW 40, Heritage 22, Rossi 38 special
Little Rock is a reasonably nice town, but there are incidents around here that make you feel like trouble can happen while getting into your car, pumping gas, or walking in broad daylight.
I'm ex-military, and had a Beretta 9mm as my service weapon. Got so used to having it around and loaded, when I got out I missed it.
One reason I didn't buy a gun when I got out I was in a bad marriage/divorce and my ex (soon to be-ex) was rather violent for a woman. Most small arguments turned to her swinging at me. I'm not violent at all, and that kind of drew a close to that relationship.
Years later, I was with some friends out at the beach. A buddy and I went to go run to the 7-11 around the corner and a guy pops out of the bushes and sticks a .38 wheel gun in my face and demands my wallet. Since I didn't have a wallet on me and didn't want to tick him off, I simply told him "My car just got broken into, and everything was stolen and we called the cops about 10 minutes ago. They are going to be here any minute." (Which was a lie) Just then a Police car drove down a cross street with his lights on, and the BG ran off. My buddy peed himself, and I walked back to the car to call the cops.
Years later, after moving multiple times, I had a rock thrown thru a bedroom window while I was in the room on the computer, and when I spun around to see what was up, a face and arm pop thru the window. That face got acquainted with my softball bat. He ended up slicing his arm and chest up pretty bad on the glass and pressing charges. The officer told me that a dead perp equals less hassle in Florida. The guy dropped the charges after the police found out he lived in the same complex as me and the management evicted him.
Long story short. After moving from area to area, and never having a good way to defend myself and my wife and dog, I finally got off my rear and applied. The day the CWP came in, I picked up my Glock 23...
No specific event made me decide to carry, though my dad has been robbed twice. I guess I've always been raised with a general sense that the world is not kind, and all you can do is prepare.
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
Several factors combined. After September 11th, 2001, I started feeling less safe and became more aware. On deployment one technique to maintain moral is to make a list of things to do back home and then do them. Waiting in line at the DFAC at Camp Victory, I read the sign "No weapon no service". Right after that I added to my list to buy a 1911 and start carrying it.
In reading up to get my carry permit, I started rereading United States Constitutional History (I recommend Leonard Levy's books). Once I received my permit, I started to practice and carry. I now only feel like a Citizen when I do carry.

MOBILE, Ala. -- Lionel Vital will get his opportunity, at some point.
The Atlanta Falcons' director of player personnel was in the running to become the general manager of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers alongside new head coach Lovie Smith. However, the job apparently will go to one of the other candidates such as Marc Ross of the New York Giants or Jason Licht of the Arizona Cardinals.
As a minority candidate, Vital made a positive step by going through the interview process. He could join the list of black general managers in the future, following in the footsteps of Jerry Reese of the Giants, Reggie McKenzie of the Oakland Raiders, Martin Mayhew of the Detroit Lions, Ozzie Newsome of the Baltimore Ravens, and Rick Smith of the Houston Texans.
The Buccaneers interviewed at least four minority candidates for the general manager position: Vital, Ross, Morocco Brown of the Washington Redskins, and Lake Dawson of the Tennessee Titans.
"There are of talent guys out there," Reese said of the minority candidates such as Vital. "It's a testament to the National Football League understanding the diversity issues and addressing it along with the owners and the Fritz Pollard Alliance. It's a beautiful thing.
"It seems like there are more candidates this year. Sometimes the cycle just goes that way. Guys just need opportunities."
Rod Graves, senior director of football administration for the New York Jets, was one of handful of black general managers when he held the title for the Arizona Cardinals. He is well aware of the work guys such as Vital have put in to get to this point. Vital has 20-plus year of experience in scouting and player personnel.
"It's exciting to see guys have those types of opportunities because those guys bring a certain experience level, in my opinion, equivalent to what we see across the league and, in some case, even stronger," Graves said. "And those guys have done a great job of paying their dues. And they have great reputations.
"Who knows the reason why guys don't get opportunities at certain times. But the fact of the matter is, those are the names that deserve opportunities. And I'm glad they are getting considered now."

Waste of $$$ 09/11/2009
This review is from: Pharos Traveler 137 Black Unlocked GSM Smart phones with Window Mobile 6.1
I bought this through dell (sorry New egg you did not have it)
This phone is a great looker - that's it.
Battery lasts barely one day (ONE BUSINESS DAY!)
The phone is slow to respond to actions and very quirky with the screen.
Not easy to use at all despite the SPB shell.
Don't buy this phone unless you want to have a nice looking brick!
I hope I helped you not to waste $500.
Slow , bad battery life - 8hrs a day. They claim 200hrs standbay,but is complete lie!
Other Thoughts:
I would go wtih HTC phone if I am a T-Mobile customer.

text: WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., Jan. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Bunge Limited (NYSE: BG) today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement with Vale S.A. (NYSE: VALE) under which Vale will acquire Bunge's fertilizer nutrients assets in Brazil, including its interest in Fertilizantes Fosfatados S.A. (Fosfertil), for $3.8 billion in cash. Net proceeds after taxes, transaction fees and expenses will be approximately $3.5 billion. Under the terms of the agreement, Vale, a Brazil-based global mining company, will acquire Bunge's 42.3% interest in Fosfertil, as well as Bunge's wholly owned phosphate mines and related production facilities in Brazil. The total annual phosphate rock production capacity of Bunge's nutrients assets and its share of Fosfertil is approximately 3 million tons. Bunge will retain its retail fertilizer operations in Brazil and will enter into a supply agreement with Vale through 2012, with an option to extend it for one additional year. Bunge will also retain its fertilizer operations in Argentina and the United States, and its 50% stake in its joint venture with Office Cherifien des Phosphates in Morocco. Alberto Weisser, Bunge's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated, "This transaction is an opportunity to immediately realize the value of these assets at an attractive price. It allows us to redeploy capital to increase the scale of our global agribusiness and food & ingredients businesses, and to further expand into complementary value chains such as sugar. We see compelling opportunities for growth by building on our global footprint and leveraging our commercial, logistics and risk management capabilities across a larger product portfolio. We believe this approach will deliver greater shareholder value over the long-term. Additionally, Bunge intends to use a portion of the proceeds to reduce outstanding debt. Weisser continued, "It's an opportune time for Bunge to exit the upstream fertilizer business. To continue to grow it would have required significant capital that, in the face of uncertain international fertilizer price and local currency environments, we believe is better allocated to other opportunities. Additionally, large global mining companies are entering the industry and diversifying their portfolios. We are pleased that this business will join Vale, which shares with Bunge a long-term commitment to Brazil."

God Bless you for your labors that were preformed with much love & respect.
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most...
A very heart touching story and I know you much have put a lot of your love into it. God bless both of you.
Freedom is costly and quilting keeps us busy...
God Bless you.I know it was hard making the quilt. On May 16 the day after my sister turned 56 she was told she had cancer-I made her a quilt and told her I couldn't be with her through her chemo treatments but to hang onto the corner and know I was with her, and I also made her badanas from my whole fabric stash and cried every stitch. Well she got worst and they called and told us to come to the hospital in Richmond,Va at St.Marys. I had never seen a cancer patient only tv and on commercials and Lord was I stunned. It blew my mind and still bothers me to this day. She asked for her blanket and her husband brought it to the hospital and he said she was hanging onto the corner with one hand and holding his with the other when she passed awayJuly 25,2012. He ask me what I wanted him to do with the quilt and I said bury it with her and he did. Every night I go outside and look up at the sky and I talk to her and I tell her I love her and miss her so much.I hope you have a Blessed Christmas and I know the Lord will bless you-you have a heart of gold. God Bless
OMG, that is just too much !! It brings tears to me too. What an inspirational story especially at this time of year. It is going to make their Christmas. God bless you for this.
Dance like no one is watching
What a wonderful and cherished keepsake she will have. You did a really nice thing.
Blessed Be

Gigapans - What are They and How are They Useful in GIS?
Sponsored by:
Directions Magazine India
Read More About:
Gigapans are gigapixel panoramas or digital images with billions of pixels. These enormous panoramas have fascinating detail, all captured in the context of a single brilliant photo. Gigapixel images allow photographers to get "up close and personal" with each image they take and offer them a new way to deliver content in the advertising, sports, education, geology, life sciences and outdoor photography industries, and more.
GigaPan gives photographers the technology to easily create high-resolution panoramic images, as well as upload the large images to GigaPan.com to view and explore. GigaPan EPIC robotic camera mounts can capture hundreds of photos using almost any digital camera. Our stitch software allows you to automatically combine the thousands of images taken into one highly detailed image with amazing depth and clarity. Gigapan.com offers the ability to view and explore images directly on our website, or you can embed our viewer application onto a third-party website.
A tool that enhances communication, exploration and learning, the GigaPan user-base is diverse and global. Artists, scientists, humanitarians, students and educators are among the most prevalent users. In India, GigaPan can be used to explore landscapes, outcrops and microscopic details of rocks and minerals. It can be used in stadiums, or at national heritage monuments and landmarks to get a clear and in-depth detail of the place.
The ability to capture a scene in such high resolution enables viewers to virtually explore and learn about landscapes that might not otherwise be accessible due to weather, geography, handicap, etc. GigaPan provides a way to collect accurate photos for GIS and mapping.

The latest in a very long list of missteps came after the singer her stopped off for a swim in LA - her soaked bikinis left embarrassing wet patches on her aqua blue sun dress.

But that didn't dampen her spirits: the mother of two eventually changed into a white dress and was all smiles took her top off - her Mini convertible, that is - for a spin around the city.
Leaving fashion aside, Spears, who is attempting to revive her once stellar pop career, recently got given some tough words of advice from Simon Cowell.
Scroll down for more
On Good Morning America, Cowell fired off his suggestions to the pop star: "Go home to your family."
He said: "[Britney's] still one of the most talked about pop stars on the planet."
"She has the X-factor because people want to write about her. She's not conventional, she's not normal."
But, he added, she currently "can't handle the tension and the pressure."
Scroll down for more
Cowell said: "Lock the door, don't go out with your stupid friends, have some home-cooked food, get a sense of reality."
"And then say to yourself, 'There's more good in my life than bad. I'm still a rich, talented girl – now I want to get my career back on track.' End of story."

The importance of government payments as a key component of the national payments system has been much discussed in recent years. Yet few reports have been devoted specifically to developing a holistic model for efficient government payments with special attention to the "payment system aspects" of government payments. Understanding these payment system aspects is crucial to understanding government payments and to ensuring that these payments are safe and efficient.
The "General Guidelines for the Development of Government Payment Programs" report aims at filling this gap by presenting a set of comprehensive guidelines that can assist governments and other stakeholders in designing and operating efficient government payment programs.
While intended to have universal applicability, these guidelines are not prescriptive; rather, they provide broad-based guidance on the issues that the World Bank considers to be of high relevance for developing safe, efficient and transparent government payment programs.
This document has been developed by the Payment Systems Development Group (PSDG) of the World Bank's Financial Infrastructure Service Line, Financial Inclusion Global Practice, in consultation with the International Advisory Group for Government Payments (IAG).
The IAG includes public-sector institutions from various countries with relevant experience in implementing government payment programs. The IAG also includes representation from certain non-government organizations and payment-service providers that are actively involved in developing and implementing various types of government payment solutions in different country environments. Through dialogue and the sharing of various country experiences in implementing such programs, the contributions of IAG members in the drafting process of the general guidelines have been significant, including several specific contributions for the annexes presenting individual country cases.

'R.I.P.D.' is fun, funny and exhilarating
"R.I.P.D." is a terrific movie. It has a smaller scale than some of the big-budget action pictures we've been seeing—smaller than a "Transformers" or an "Iron Man" or a "Lone Ranger." But it does have impressive special effects and it does range around over the city of Boston and through the police station at the entrance to Heaven.
It does that ranging around as it follows Roy (Jeff Bridges) and Nick (Ryan Reynolds) as they fight to save the world from an apocalypse. Does that sound like cause enough? The story is better than average for action pictures, and the supporting cast includes Hollywood legend Kevin Bacon, age-less sex symbol Mary Louise Parker, and the sympathetic Stephanie Szostak, whose character ads weight to the motivations of Nick and of the audience.
The film has been made, by Robert Schwentke (who gave us "The Time-Traveler's Wife"), with a ton of imagination. The movie has some catch phrases—my favorite is what now deathless Western "Lawman" Roy says about facing down pistol-toting enemies in the streets: "I invented this." And, oh yeah, since Bridges is in the movie and is playing a cowboy type, there's comedy in "R.I.P.D." Quite a bit of it.
Schwentke has used the lesser scale to great effect, of course. He (and Parker) made "RED," three years ago and had one of the happiest surprise hits of the year. Ironically, that movie's sequel, "RED 2" was released on the same day as "R.I.P.D." Parker reprised her role and so appeared in both the action movies released this last weekend.
But "R.I.P.D." is in some ways more like "Men in Black" than it is like the movie about retired government hit men. A cop who dies in a state of sin may be drafted by the "rest in peace division" of the bureaucracy associated with the afterlife. Late in his life, Nick went along with his crooked partner, Hayes (Bacon), in taking from a crime scene a little gold from some broken antique.
When Nick's romance with his wife Julia (Szostak) rights him morally, he tells Hayes he is going to turn the gold in to the Police impound office. So Hayes, who wants the gold because he knows what the antique was, waits until his partner is involved in a shoot-out and then kills him.
Nick drifts up into the clouds where he meets the powder-faced RIPD Proctor (Parker), who wears white go-go boots to keep Nick's new partner, Buffalo-Bill look-alike Roy, from staring at her ankles. She's flirting. Roy's nineteenth century up-bringing has prepared him to consider a glance at ankles as a sort of intimacy.
Roy shows Nick that the dead cannot appear to the living in their own forms. Nick will look like James Hong, a veteran Chinese-American actor, while Roy looks like a curvy thirty-five year-old woman. Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On" plays in the heads of men whenever Roy's Earth form walks by. What will the new guy and Wild Bill be doing on Earth in these forms?
Hunting down "deaders," evil humans who have escaped on their way to Hell and are now haunting the globe, their cartoonish moral grotestquery disguised, as they reassemble "The Golden Scepter." When it is back together, it will generate a passageway between Earth and Hell that will bring the apocalypse to us.
Nick tries to communicate with Julia, who turns his gold over to the evil Hayes. And he and Roy have some success snagging some fugitives, gathering up some gold hunks, and identifying the evil guys' plan.
But the deaders use a clever ruse to recover the antique fragments at RIPD H.Q. And then the stories race to the finish—the scepter is being reassembled; Hayes is having the puzzled Julia brought to the scene; and Roy and Nick are driving hell-bent-for-leather across the fast-collapsing city to try to forestall the end of the world.
All of this is fun. Much of it is funny. Much is exhilarating. There is real suspense. The pace is superior. And just about all of the actors are in top form. What more could a moviegoer want?
Scale? You want this to be bigger, louder, and longer? Well, then your aesthetic and mine are at odds. "R.I.P.D." is all the popcorn movie I want this summer, and a little more. But not too much.

I should say first that I have *never* used this as an eyeshadow, but it has been my "basic everyday" blush for years! Very nice color -- not too dark or bright -- blends well and stays on nicely. I understand that MAC is going to discontinue their large eyeshadows and have only small pots for those that are obviously eyeshadows and the others that are mainly used as blush will become blushes (larger size).

Nothing mattered but love in this tender moment.
The sea scented breeze greeted Forget-Me-Not's nose as she stood on the grassy cliff. The sun sparkled beautifully on the waves as they came rolling in her direction and crashing against the rock. Her magenta eyes cast their focus up towards the seagulls that soared above her, heading towards the horizon. Dolphins made their presence known as they swam by, clicking and leaping out of the sea.
A snap of the twig had the young singer turn to see her lover emerging from the trees, a smile full of love, respect and devotion adorning his handsome face. Forget-Me-Not smiled and held her hand out for him. He walked over to her, his boots crunching against the grass and leaves. His larger hand encased hers and they stood together, enjoying the scenery, nature and each other's company.
Eclipse bent down to her ear and whispered his romantic and sincere pledge of love for her. She couldn't help that shy smile and blush that came next as he kissed her head dotingly. Their hands tightened their grip in their hold as Forget-Me-Not leaned her head on his chest then whispered her own pledge of affection. A low chuckle and commentary of her shy nature was her response.
The half demons turned to one another and embraced tightly. Eclipse buried his nose into her blue hair as she breathed in his comforting scent of cinnamon. He showered her face with light kisses and she giggled, his lips tickling her skin delightfully. She wrapped her arms around his neck and their lips met gingerly, their inexperience clear to bystanders. However nothing mattered but love in this tender moment.

I don't own anything...
Titania was never the sort to simply fall in love and into someone's arms. When Oberon swept her off her feet, her friends were astonished. They had seen the two together, showing off an ideal relationship.
It had been a few years since then, though, and their love was starting to wither. Her friends (and herself) had seen her dear fiancé with other women--flirting, going on dates, taking them to places he hadn't ever shown her.
The last time Titania had talked to Oberon was yesterday, on the phone. He had asked her if she could meet him at his apartment for dinner, and of course she had accepted. She needed to ask him some things, to understand if he really wanted to marry her, but spent more time wondering if he was really going to cook, then figuring out how to word what she wanted to ask him.
Even if they were going to call off the wedding, she wanted to look nice, despite only going over to his house. She applied a little bit of make-up and pulled on her two and a half inch heels before she left her condominium, purse in hand.
Oberon was extremely nervous. He knew that Titania was normally a nice girl, but he hadn't exactly treated her right. His best friend Robin had urged him to apologize to Titania, but he was afraid of getting her angry. He wasn't the best at showing emotions, but he wanted her to know that he loved her.
The doorbell rang, and he got up and opened it, smiling as he saw his fiancé. However, his smile turned into a scowl as he noticed how unhappy she looked, like she would rather be anywhere else.
"Hey," he mumbled, shy.
"Hello," Titania responded, her voice clipped and very polite. She walked in and promptly tripped over a pile of textbooks. Oberon's hands moved with him noticing; he grasped her waist and pulled her away from the danger, which resulted in her face being pushed into his six-pack as she leaned on him.
"Ouch." She sighed. Oberon was one sexy high school biology teacher.
"Sorry about that..." But he was already looking away from her, his head turned towards the kitchen. He put her back on her feet and started pulling out plates and eating utensils. She smiled sadly and decided to help him out.
He pulled a glass container of lasagne verde out of his oven and set it on the countertop. She raised an eyebrow, glancing at the seemingly perfect Italian dish.
"I had no idea you could cook."
"Robin helped me learn."
She couldn't stop herself from blurting out the first thing in her mind. "So you didn't spend all those weeks flirting with other women?"
Oberon winced. "Not all."
"So you basically admit that you've been cheating on me."
He winced again, but didn't answer this time. He scooped the lasagne verde out of the container and placed two helpings on plates.
"Okay, maybe you don't admit it."
He shrugged. "I..."
"You didn't want me to know. You don't trust me," Titania accused. She brought the plates over to the dining table. He followed, forks in hand.
His eyes widened. She thought he didn't trust her?
She continued, "Of course, if I were cheating on my fiancé, I wouldn't tell him, either."
She watched him as his facial expressions changed from annoyance to anger. He tore viciously into his food.
"Don't talk about things you don't know about." His voice was cold.
"Like what? Your love for someone else?" Her voice changed from its usual pitch to a high shriek. She took smaller bites, hoping she wouldn't have to throw up.
Oberon glared at her now. "I don't think you would know, Titania."
She looked up at him accusingly. "Explain, then."
"I... I was just helping her out."
"With what? Her sex life?" Titania's teasing voice broke through his fear.
"You're teasing me."
"Yes," she replied, grinning; she was never able to stay angry for such a long time.
"Are you mad at me?" he asked, curious.
She shrugged. "Perhaps. I'll get my revenge soon enough."
He blinked. "You'll call off the wedding?"
"Do you want me to?"
He shook his head. "No."
"Then I won't."
"That's your revenge?"
She got up and left. "I'll see you later. I have to think about some things."
He sat there, disbelief coloring his face.
I hope you even understood.

The lentil soup at Sababa reminded me of the first lentil soup I ever had and why I fell in love with it. Here's my version. When you want lentils to dissolve and thicken a soup, use tiny red lentils (sometimes called pink or orange) but when you want them to keep their shape, use the tiny green lentils. Don't worry that the pretty red lentils turn beigy-brown when cooked.

"The smell of leather and money was in the air
Wednesday at Flint Indian Sales as hundreds of motorcyclists and dealers turned up for an estate auction at the N. Saginaw Street business. The event, billed as one of the largest auctions of rare and antique motorcycle parts in the U.S., included the sale of a 1941 four-cylinder Indian motorcycle, along with many other old motorcycles, some still in their original shipping crates. Herbert L. Kunze, who owned the combination bicycle/motorcycle dealership for decades, died Feb.26. His father opened the business in the 1920s."
On October 12th, 1992, I received a fax from a UK supplier… "Was I going to the Flint Auction?"
"What auction" I faxed back.
By Sunday night (Sydney time) I had found out; there were literally tons of motorcycles and spares for sale, including motorcycle instruments (which was my business at the time). A telephone call to Bob Schanz (proprietor of Domiracer) asking if he'd bid on some items for me, elicited the reply that he was there to buy and I could in turn later buy off him…!
By late Monday I'd secured a flight from Sydney to LA, on to Chicago and then to Lansing, with a rental car booked, and arrangements made with my bank.
On the way to the airport Tuesday, I called at the school my where my wife taught and said 'see you in a week'… Flying into Chicago the weather looked ominous, and a further delay landing at Lansing due to Air Force One being on the ground (the President was in town for the great debates at Michigan State University), meant I was very late into a motel.
An eerie quietness the next morning turned out to be from a big dump of snow during the night; I was not prepared from this coming from Australia.
The auction site was an eye-opener…two large buildings, a shop and warehouse, were like a maze, which proved to be full of motorcycles…over 200 were on offer of which 60 were new & many still in their crates and parts... man, I've never seen so many motorcycles in boxes.
Inventories of Matchless/AJS parts, Norton, Indian, Moto Guzzi, Greeves, Zundapp, Sachs parts, shelves of Smiths, Lucas ( I'm pretty sure there were 2300 sets of ignition points for example…), Amal parts, bags of Metzeler tyres…the list went on.
There were whole rooms with used or partly dismantled motorcycles and parts.
The next surprise was having to pay US$500 to get into the auction, to be refunded when you bought something (?).
…..Some 200 bidders registered, eager for the 800+ lots listed plus the motorcycles mentioned..
Major players were British Only from Detroit and Domiracer Distributors Inc, from Cincinnati, with some UK dealers, myself from Australia and many smaller US dealers and individuals.
Many of the lots were large in quantity and this annoyed some smaller buyers…the AJS/Matchless inventory was in seven lots, but was actually auctioned off as one large lot…the auctioneer (Jerry Wood) commented, "Whoever buys this will be the world's largest Matchless distributor." The pile went for $110,000, to Domiracer.
One room was aptly called "The Indian Room", with heaps of pre-war Indian Parts, including new crankcases and parts for singles and the four-cylinder motorcycles…. lots of bidding activity there. The three damaged Corbin speedos I was interested in made $1300; my proposed maximum bid of $1000 was left in the dust. There were six new Norton Commandos, all but one had been riffled for some parts to sell in the past and were variously incomplete. The one complete bike went for $9750…a BIG price then.
AJS Motorcycles from the UK were present to purchase the stocks of late two-stroke AJS Stormer motocrossers (thirteen new ones, seven still in crates, for $26,500) and inventory ($15,000) . The Zundapp inventory went for $18,000; the Smiths inventory for $22,000; the Lucas electrical parts for $43,000; Amal carburetors and parts for $21,000; the Ducati parts for $21,000; Greeves inventory $1000; Norton inventory $57,000; Moto Guzzi parts $28,000;Ducati factory tools $2,100; Seven new Greeves motocrossers $13,700, and the list went on….
What was Flint Indian Sales….?
Seems Herb Kunze, the owner who had died the previous February, was a quiet man who operated the Flint dealership, which had been in operation since 1928, having been started by Herb's father, "Speed" Kunze. Herb took over in the late 1960s. When Indian Motorcycles went out of business in 1953, the shop turned to selling Norton, Matchless, Zundapp, Penton, etc, but Kunze chose to keep the name Flint Indian Sales.
Herb was well known for sponsoring champion enduro riders. After buying Flint Indian from his father, he bought the entire building next door to sell Schwinn bicycles.
He remained in the buildings even while most of the North Saginaw Street businesses pulled out.
So did I justify the time and expense of the trip, which started out as a business venture?
The answer has to be yes…I'd never been to anything like this before, and I'd been to my share of auctions…
I spent $500 on a few items, made more friends & acquaintances, but the Smiths inventory for which I'd actually travelled, ended up with a twist….
Remember that I'd asked Domiracer to buy for me?…well soon after I arrived I met up with Bob Schanz…"You're here! " he exclaimed…. "You bet!" I answered. We drifted apart while amongst the many
items on view…but before the lot of Smiths instruments came up, his right hand man, Jonathan White, came up to me, pulled me aside, and in a quiet voice said…"Just what are you after?"…"I'll settle for half" I replied ( fingers crossed)…. "Deal done…don't bid against us…". I didn't & some months later we divvied up the Smiths instrument proceeds.
I made a brief visit to British Only, then was homeward bound; looking back now, I have a warm feeling inside to have been involved in this fascinating part of Motorcycle history.

Let's pause and take stock.
Stock up
Illinois running back depth: The Illini have three backs who have rushed for at least 210 yards this season. Fifth-year senior Troy Pollard surprisingly leads the team with 260 yards -- including his first two career 100-yard days -- while averaging a whopping 10.4 yards per carry. Freshman Donovonn Young is averaging 7.9 yards per attempt. They make nice complements to Jason Ford, who has four rushing touchdowns this season.
Devin Smith: The Ohio State passing game hasn't exactly been firing on all cylinders lately. But true freshman Devin Smith looks impressive. The 6-foot-3 receiver made two touchdown grabs last week against Colorado despite playing only about 30 snaps. "Devin can make plays," head coach Luke Fickell said. "He's a guy that can get on top of you, have some speed. Obviously good balls were thrown to him and he made the plays. We need that."
Tom Nardo: It was neat to see the Iowa senior defensive lineman win Big Ten defensive player of the week honors after his 12-tackle performance against Louisiana Monroe. That's because Nardo was a walk-on his whole career until being awarded a scholarship this spring. He's tied for the team lead with three tackles for loss this season.
Rex Burkhead: The Nebraska I-back has run for 290 yards and four touchdowns his past two games, averaging nearly eight yards per carry. He now ranks third in the Big Ten in rushing, just one yard behind teammate Taylor Martinez. So much for those who doubted whether Burkhead could be a star without Roy Helu Jr.
James Vandenberg: The Iowa quarterback has been a man on fire since late in the third quarter of the Pitt game. He has thrown for 669 yards his past two games, with six touchdowns. For the season, the junior has tossed for 10 scores and just one interception, and he's on pace to throw for well over 3,000 yards. Not bad for a first-year, full-time starter.
Stock down
Denard's passing: Denard Robinson is a joy to watch when running the ball -- and right now often painful to watch throwing it. He was just 8 of 17 for 93 yards with two interceptions against San Diego State, and many of the misfires weren't close. That followed a 7-for-18 passing day against lowly Eastern Michigan. Brady Hoke says the passing problems aren't all Robinson's fault, but clearly this area has to improve for Michigan to compete for a division title.
The Illinois band's timing: Western Michigan was flagged for a false start on Saturday, but the head official waved it off and explained that the Marching Illini Band didn't stop playing in time for the Broncos to call out their snap count. At least he didn't criticize their rhythm.
Indiana kickoff returns: Frankly, the stock is very low on most things Hoosiers-related. But here's one glaring stat: Indiana is second-to-last nationally in kickoff return average, getting a little more than 15 yards per return. Considering the one strength IU seemingly has is some speedy skill players, this is surprisingly bad.
Minnesota's pass rush: The Gophers had one of the worst pass rushes in the country last year with only nine sacks for the season. Things aren't much better this year; in fact, Minnesota is on pace for an even worse year for getting to the quarterback. It is tied for last nationally with only one sack so far in four games (Indiana also only has one). The Gophers' secondary gets a lot of blame for the team's problems defending the pass, but that futility is a group effort.

Chapter 10: I Call Hax
There has to be another way! Welcome to level X
A level used by trainers who are bored or fed up with the monotony of previous steps. Other trainers reside here because they are too lazy. A level X trainer resorts to cheating or hacking. Some trainers (called Cheaters) will generate Pokémon or items that are naturally obtainable through the game. Other trainers (called Hackers) will create Pokémon with impossible attributes, such as stats, abilities, moves, or even types.
Yes, cheating is wrong, cheaters never prosper, <insert other obligatory phrase about cheating here,> but that doesn't stop people who have the ability to. In Pokémon's case, cheating is much faster, much easier, and it doesn't have any real repercussions. The one setback to cheating or hacking is that their products are (technically) banned from official tournaments. Cheaters can get by if their numbers appear legitimate.
There are several methods of cheating and hacking. One of the most common methods is using an Action Replay. This method requires the use of downloadable codes from a computer, which can be activated with a button combination. These codes can be used to instantly fill the Pokédex, max out all of the trainer's items, or, of course, create Pokémon.
Another common method, and a far simpler one, is using Pokésave. Pokésave is a method, which is used to directly implement Pokémon into the game from a computer, that requires tampering with internet settings. The trainer must set up their DS, 3DS, or 2DS to receive these Pokémon. This method, while faster and easier than purchasing and using an Action Replay, has far fewer connotations, as it can only be used to create Pokémon and the items they hold. On the other hand, for trainers that aren't particularly interested in the items and such that the Action Replay can offer would find this much more useful, as it can be used to create Pokémon with perfectly tailored EVs, IVs, and Natures.
There are many other methods to cheating and hacking, but these two are the most common/easiest.
Now, let's lay down some ground rules, by no means is anyone strictly required to follow these rules, but I find them reasonable guidelines to stick to.
1) Nobody likes to fight a Hacker, the Pokémon universe is built in such a way that it can make the playing field fair for everyone. Fighting a Hacker completely destroys this fair environment. If you are going to generate Pokémon, cheat, don't hack.
2) Play through the game at least once, legitimately before cheating/hacking. In order to get the full experience of whatever game you're playing, play through it normally. The game will never feel the same if you never play through it properly.
3) Try levels six through nine at least once before moving on to level X.

Think about that time your sister dressed you up as girl, and then took a photo of, while you cried, in a dress?
Your sister made you put on a dress, and then some earrings. You were eight, maybe. You looked beautiful, she said, but you did not like it, did not like everyone looking at you in the kitchen, and you burst into tears, it was always tears, and then the flashes of the camera and then the shame and then you just didn't know what to do and the tears just took control, and even now they still show that photo, in your beautiful dress, a look of absolute anguish on your face, and they laugh. They laugh.
