Dont worry. Most people could care less. They'll just plod on like cattle and be totally oblivious.

I set up a doomsday count down timer on my laptop to tell me how much longer it is to 27 July. I just want to see if the lights go out in the country and their is no food on the shelves at the stores on that fateful day.

These paragraphs titled:are all talking about national infrastructures to produce the means to wage war.First, there must be immediate disarmament action:
Second, all disarmament obligations must be subject to effective international controls:
Third, adequate peace-keeping machinery must be established:
yada yada...yeah, it COULD mean the UN can say no guns in the world. But it don't. I bet folks got their panties in a wad back in 1961 also. But look....has this document affected our 2A rights? Export/import control...sure. But that is international agreements. The laws of the US were not affected....just like this impotent treaty will be like.
The only true reference that could cause worry is the following:As far as I know this document was produced by the the State Department for the President to review. I may be wrong but I do not beleive it was asked for by the President. I do not see any reference to Kennedy endorsing it or signing it. If I am in error please let me know.(c) The manufacture of armaments would be prohibited except for those of agreed types and quantities to be used by the U.N. Peace Force and those required to maintain internal order. All other armaments would be destroyed or converted to peaceful purposes.
We are sheepishly putting up with all of this garbage because we the people are not people but sheep. I have given up on America and decided that I will do whatever I can to support my family and their safety from both men and government. When the revolution comes I will be ready but until someone with the leadership and resources can make that happen to take our government back to the people from whence it came there is NOTHING I can do about it.
So any treaty they pass will trump the constitution because the sheep of American are too numerous and have no idea what true liberty is. I read an interesting study that claimed that nearly 91% of American's are not ready for real liberty as our fathers gave us. So darn sad.
Alone you cant do squat but unified you can do massive amounts. I am not going to be a keyboard commando. The Bill of Rights does not have Spec Ops training and the muscle to defend it's self. It is a set of ideals on plain paper sealed in blood and made absolute law. A law that must be cherished and protected. But I am having a hard time finding the protectors in this day and age. The government has been allowed to grow so undeniably powerful and large that it is a super Armageddon behemoth that must be reduced in size if liberty is to survive. Just like a nuclear reaction, once critical mass has been reached, it is impossible to stop the inevitable meltdown. Our government has reached critical mass. The only thing that could take our government down would be total worldwide systematic collapse of everything and I mean everything. THen and only then would the people be able to take us back to founding principles. But we are a dying breed.
This is America, land of the American Idol, Jersey Shore, and Social Fairness.
Land of the free and home of the brave died from the cancerous infection called sheeple.
Anyways I am going to log out now. Because once again all of this jibbering back and forth about philosophy does nothing to better my families well being, my Dogs, or my liberty. We either band together under leadership and liberty or we can keep punching away at these keyboards making no difference and wait to be sheared and slaughtered like the sheep most of us are.
"I believe that the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms must not be infringed if liberty in America is to survive." - Ronald Reagan
Sometimes the obvious is not so obvious eh?yada yada...yeah, it COULD mean the UN can say no guns in the world.
Since the document clearly outlines reducing the armys to basically nothing, giving the U.N. total control of arms, and eliminating whole classes of arms, do you really think that private ownership of weapons will allowed?
If you do, I've got some ocean front property here in Arkansas that I'll sell you cheap.
The UN has been after your guns and mine since they started because they want to be the big dogs on the block. How they get there is irrevelant. When they get there is irrevelant, they will get there. No that we have people on our own side agreeing with them, volunteering to help, how long can it be?
Thats the real issue at hand. All of this naysaying,it gonna happen here, sticking my head in the sand stuff is exactly how they get away with this crap.
Universal Background Checks...the next step towards registration and confiscation.

As far as naysaying......that just means that on every single issue that is brought up I am not going to get my panties in a wad over it. Concern yes. Do I do research and read..yeas. I am also level headed to wait till 27 July to find out what happens. I have already done what I could by letting my elected officials know where I stand.
Back to the Freedom from War document..it was not a UN draft...it was produced by someone in our government so I do not see how that is relevent to this discussion. If you do then fine..so let us address what that document did.....nothing. Can you cite any laws or policies that came from it that has affected our right to bear arms.
Again, not sticking my head in the sand...there are many things that have affected us and I am concerned about those and hope they get repealed.
As far as your hatred and distrust for this POTUS. I am halfway there with you on some things. But every president has had a hand in gun control including the god of the republican part ROnald Reagan.
The point of the article is that the UN was talking about this stuff as far back as 1961.
The other point of this whole thread is that it is only going to get worse...not better. Now that we have an administration that would volunteer its authority to the U.N. in spite of the fact that they are elected, not appointed, that will only serve to embolden the yahoos in the UN to think that we actually care about what they say.
With idiots on the council like Iran,no good what so ever will come from it.
Universal Background Checks...the next step towards registration and confiscation.
AR. CHL Instr. 07/02 FFL
Like custom guns and stuff? Check this out...
Just the facts ma'am. I would have been satisifed with "the UN sucks and have been up to this for years". If the document was produced by the UN it would be relevent.
Now, the document would be relevent if the discussion was on how internal US policy has been trying to curtail gun rights and it showed how a policy or document had any affect. Producing a document like that only shows that though a government agency can put something forward, the sky did not fall. But I guess 61 years later some of us are still waiting for the sky to fall. I myself am waiting till 27 July to see what the heck is actually in the treaty language.
Plenty of info on it, look it up. John F Kennedy and Freedom from War. He wrote it. He presented it.
Universal Background Checks...the next step towards registration and confiscation.
AR. CHL Instr. 07/02 FFL
Like custom guns and stuff? Check this out...
Look, I tried looking it up. I can;t find it. You obviously have the source. Would you mind posting it? I do like the facts..if he did what you said I would like to know...
Actually this is getting off topic. If you have a credible source that says that Kennedy wrote it and took it to the UN that is cool...still only validates what I have said......it amounted to nothing then...and 61 years later. Just PM or post me the info. I don't like mysteries LOL. I do like facts and not afraid of them.
I did find three sources...all might say they are right wing or on the edge of conspiracy type sites. One says the document was secretly courried to the UN, another said he presented it to the UN General Secratary, and another said he presented it to the General Assembly. Neith of them had any sources or references....so I guess pick the one you like best LOL (I don;t mean you personally).
I did actually find the transcript of his speech..It is obviously based off of the document...mostly talked about nukes though. Anyway...the UN (or specifically the member nations including he obvious ones) blew the proposal off.
Anyway...enough of the off topic. Would be interesting to see if his speech was a bluff or not. Funny how we take politicians at their word when we want to hear what we want to hear. But again the end result was nothing. Absolutely nothing except the intent of what some folks or organizations want to do. We can't change that. You can't stop a person or organization from having ideas. We can try to make sure that their ideas do not come to fruition.
Dang...just like trying to read a piece of news from Mr. LaPierre.....got to do your own research to see what the deal is LOL

Whether as the result of the controversial decision last year or the decade-long legacy of the award, the Tewaaraton Trophy has developed a reputation as a postseason award. However, the oft-accompanying expression "the regular season doesn't matter" is a total fallacy — in order to be one of the five candidates from whom the winner will be picked at the end of May, your name needs to be announced tomorrow.
And, as no postseason game has yet been played, the regular season does matter in order to have your name in the mix as a finalist. Truthfully, the relationship between being a finalist and winning the Tewaaraton is similar to the relationship to making the U.S. National Team and being a starter — it's such an honor to make it, winning (or starting) is almost icing on the cake. So all five of the names
The flaw in the Tewaaraton's system arises if the player of the year emerges during May to the degree that he wasn't among the top five until the NCAA Tournament started. However, in the 11 years the award's been given, has the most worthy candidate been excluded because he wasn't a finalist? Examine.

Doug Shanahan, Hofstra, M, Sr (43G, 13A, 61%F/O)
Trevor Tierney, Princeton G, Sr (5.73GA, 67.1%)
The most notable non-finalists from a "these guys could have won the whole thing had they been finalists" perspective are probably Tillman Johnson in 2003 and Kenny Nims in 2009. There are plenty of finalists who didn't win that people gripe about, but is there another non-finalist who has a legit claim at bringing home the trophy?
There are typically only a handful — if any — games between when the Heisman Trophy finalists are announced and when the award is given, and rarely do finalists play between the announcements. That schedule removes the degree of difficulty. Considering the Tewaaraton schedule, their success rate is pretty impressive.
Onto this year's likely finalists.
1. Steele Stanwick, Sr., A, Virginia (26G, 45A in 14 games)
With Virginia losing in the ACC Semifinals and struggling against Penn in the Whitman's® Sampler® Mile High Classic, it's easy to overlook the impact Stanwick's had down the stretch — 17 points in his last three games. He's already exceeded the point total he put up in winning the Tewaaraton last year, and he's 22 points ahead of where he finished the regular season last year.
2. Peter Baum, Jr., A, Colgate (64G, 29A in 16 games)
The biggest development in Baum's Player of the Year chances since the last update on April 12 is that he's appeared on national television multiple times and put in performances consistent to (if not slightly exceeding) those he's put up regularly over the last two seasons. Also, he's the nation's leading scorer. Also, his Raiders beat Maryland again to end the season and enter the NCAA Tournament looking to hand UMass its first loss.
3. Will Manny, Jr., A, UMass (43G, 32A in 15 games)
In leading the Minutemen to DI's only undefeated regular season, Manny led a balanced offensive attack that featured two 50-point scorers. Manny's the triggerman though, and it's been interesting to see his emergence as a dodging ball-carrier (from a finisher) over the course of his first three seasons, particularly as Art Kell has gone from a guy that had the ball in his stick a lot to now filling more of a goal-scorer's role.
4. CJ Costabile, Sr., LSM, Duke (6G, 4A, 114GB, 14CT, 51.5%F/O in 17 games)
The Tewaaraton loves do-it-all players, and Costabile faces off, plays defense and sparks transition offense. Additionally, if Duke's primed for a championship run, not only will Costabile be involved in an inordinant amount of the play, he'll also be instrumental in maintaining Duke's emotional focus. Plus, to the degree that the award honors career achievement, he's got an overtime national title-winning goal under his belt.
5. Marcus Holman, Jr., A, North Carolina (33G, 33A, 27GB in 16 games)
Holman has rocketed up the scoring charts and Player of the Year trackers in recent weeks, helped by the Tar Heels' success down the stretch in their ACC schedule and a 10-point day against Michigan last week. In addition to his production, the converted midfielder is the pace-setter alongside frenetic linemates Jimmy Bitter and Joey Sankey.
6. Mark Matthews, Sr., A, Denver (39G, 17A in 14 games)
Doesn't it seem like Matthews is getting hot? He had five-and-two against Duke and, yes, was held to two-and-one against Loyola in the ECAC semis, but coach Bill Tierney said last week that Matthews was recovering from a broken finger sustained versus Penn State and is just starting to get right. It might not be with enough time to be a finalist, but he could be a huge factor for Denver down the stretch.
7. Mike Sawyer, Jr., A, Loyola (45G, 8A in 15 games)
There are two knocks against Sawyer's Player of the Year resume — his relatively low assist totals and the rise to prominence of teammates Scott Ratliff, who's an All-American candidate longstick middie that's gotten POY buzz in recent weeks
8. John Kemp, Jr., G, Notre Dame (5.87GAA, 64.2% in 13 games)
Kemp's numbers are jaw-dropping, no question. But look at Trevor Tierney's numbers from 2001 — if a goalie can be that productive and win a national championship and still not win the award, will a goalie ever win?
9. Thomas Schreiber, So., M, Princeton (30G, 26A, 34GB in 15 games)
Schreiber is as important to Princeton's offense as pretty much any guy on this list is to his unit, and Princeton has impressed more down the stretch as guys like Alex Capretta and Mike MacDonald have increased their production.
10. Jesse Bernhardt, Jr., LSM, Maryland (2G, 3A, 53GB, 29CT in 14 games)
Like Costabile, Bernhardt is a dynamic between-the-lines force, but is probably a more dangerous defensive threat as he gets out so fast on Maryland's ride and is so tough to run past in six-on-six that he's a terror all game.
Check back to InsideLacrosse.com Thursday as the Tewaaraton is set to announce its finalists.

Wash. Post Now Polling Michelle Obama's Burger Eating
Blog ››› ››› SIMON MALOY
Yesterday, the Washington Post reported that Michelle Obama ordered a "1,700-calorie meal at Shake Shack." The report drew mockery from several corners for suggesting that by eating a hamburger, the First Lady was somehow behaving hypocritically given her campaign to combat obesity. Right-wingers with ingrained dislike of Michelle Obama, however, ran with the report.
Today, the Washington Post is looking to squeeze a little more traffic out the non-story with an online poll: "Is Michelle Obama a hypocrite for loving burgers?" Accompanying the poll is a quick write-up which actually contains these sentences that a real-live journalist wrote and published:
Nutritionists were quick to come to the first lady's aid, explaining that balance is more important than blind allegiance to any one diet, which is almost certainly true. But here's the thing: This is not Michelle Obama's first encounter with a burger in public. A semi-quick Google search reveals that she has dined on burgers at Five Guys (on at least two occasions), Good Stuff Eatery (again more than once and apparently enough to inspire her own turkey burger on Spike Mendelsohn's menu) and a Milwaukee diner. Her love of burgers is so well documented that one hack parodied the first lady in this cartoon.
"This is not Michelle Obama's first encounter with a burger in public." Chew on that one for a while.
Also, the lede puts responsibility for this stupid story on "conservatives" who "smelled fresh meat on Monday when first lady Michelle Obama dared to order what was once considered an All-American meal at Shake Shack." Sorry, WaPo; the wingers might have jumped on it, but only because you gave them the bait.

Meet Our Pastor Groover
back to top
Rev. Dr. Gregory G. Groover, Sr., is a native of Freeport, Long Island, and graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia. He received his Master of Divinity and Master of Social Work from Union Theological Seminary and Columbia University School of Social Work, respectively. Rev. Groover completed his doctoral work (D.Min.) at the New York Theological Seminary. The focus of his demonstration project and dissertation was on the strategic development of faith-based educational initiatives by urban African American congregations.
From 1987-1994, Rev. Groover served as pastor of Bright Temple A.M.E. Church in the South Bronx. Rev. Groover's pastoral work was prominently noted in the New York Times, New York Newsday, and Jonathan Kozol's Amazing Grace (Crown Publishers, Inc, 1995). Mr. Kozol's book and title was inspired by his time spent with Rev. Groover and his church. At Bright Temple, Reverend Groover initiated a number of ministries aimed at addressing the educational, psychological, social, and spiritual needs of inner-city children. Among them was the "Building Great Minds Project," an after school leadership-building/socializations skills program for latency-age and adolescent children that was later adopted as a city-wide program administered by the Council of Churches of New York. While fulfilling his pastoral ministry in the South Bronx, Rev. Groover served as an adjunct faculty member at the College of New Rochelle (undergraduate course - Introduction to Social Work) and New York Theological Seminary (M.Div. course – Foundations in Ministry).
Rev. Groover was appointed Pastor of the Historic Charles Street A.M.E. Church in Roxbury, Massachusetts in June 1994. Since arriving, Rev. Groover has significantly restructured and decentralized the management apparatus of the church and increased participation, diversity, and accountability to the church's membership. In addition he established new ministries, fellowship clusters, and professional-related alliances aimed at building the congregational life and maximizing avenues in which members could share and cultivate their skills, talents, and gifts. Under his pastoral ministry, over 30 individuals have entered the ministry.
As a Henry L. Shattuck Municipal Service recipient (City Champion Award, 2002), Rev. Groover has served on numerous public panels for the City of Boston. His services included being a member of the Mayor's 2-6 After-school Initiative Task Force (1999), Search Committee for the Boston Police Department Commissioner (2003), Boston Public Schools Assignment Task Force (2004), and the Co-Chair, Search Committee for the Boston Public Schools Superintendent (2006-07). In 2007, Mayor Thomas M. Menino appointed him to the Boston School Committee.
Rev. Groover is also very involved in the Greater Boston community. Presently he serves as a member of the Black Ministerial Alliance (BMA). He has been instrumental in bringing together public school officials, teachers, community leaders, parents and the clergy in the planning and the development of the BMA After School Program ($1.5 million initiative). In addition, he is devoted to public school reform in Boston. Under his leadership, the BMA has sponsored numerous church based community education summits on the MCAS Exams, School Promotion and Attendance Policies, and other issues. Rev. Groover drafted and proposed his Ten Action Steps toward Becoming an Education Conscious Congregation, which was unanimously adopted by the BMA.
Rev. Groover serves on the Board of Directors for several nonprofit organizations, including the Boston Foundation, Boston Rising, Boston Plan for Excellence, Boston TenPoints Coalition, Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, and the YMCA of Greater Boston.
Rev. Groover is married to the Rev. Barbara Ann Groover who serves as Minister to Women at the Historic Charles Street Church. The Groovers share two teenage children; Gerami Greer and Gregory, Jr. (G Man).

About Our Church
The Historic Charles Street African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) Church is interwoven with the history of African Americans in Boston.
In 1818, a small group of free African Americans began gathering in a small house on Beacon Hill to give birth to the First African Methodist Episcopal Society. The Reverend Noah Caldwell W. Cannon, a firebrand itinerant preacher who traveled throughout New England, was the leading force in the creation of this new church and in 1833 he began serving as its first pastor....... read more
A.M.E. History
The AMEC grew out of the Free African Society (FAS) which Richard Allen, Absalom Jones, and others established in Philadelphia in 1787.
When officials at St. George's MEC pulled blacks off their knees while praying, FAS members discovered just how far American Methodists would go to enforce racial discrimination against African Americans. Hence, these members of St. George's made plans to transform their mutual aid society into an African congregation....... read more

"Specialty" Bedding refers to all sleep surfaces that use support systems other than a typical, conventional steel innerspring coil. It is an "Alternative" sleep surface and a premium style of mattress.
Most all "Specialty" sleep mattress look the same as a typical innerspring.
All but the hardside waterbeds use conventional sheets and bedding.
(However, some people prefer to use "deep pocket" sheets on their higher
profile beds) When placed side by side you cannot tell the difference by
looking at the two beds. However, once you lie on "Specialty" sleep mattress,
you will be able to tell the difference immediately. "Specialty" mattresses have
ultra-premium support systems that replace nonconforming steel springs for a
more contouring and responsive feel. BOYD "Specialty" mattresses offer
unparalleled comfort, support and/or adjustability that an innerspring cannot
provide. They are designed to provide a contouring "interactive" support
system that supports the entire body.

Stephanie Storm's final thoughts on the Indians 7-1 win over the Reds Monday at Progressive Field.
1) Turns out that Corey Kluber is human after all. Well, at least part human.
* In Kluber's 7 1/3–inning outing Monday, the Indians right-hander threw 33 balls (which was one more than in his previous start – a nine-inning masterpiece in which he recorded his first career complete game shutout).
* He also gave up a run in the eighth inning (which snapped a streak of 17 consecutive scoreless innings and a streak of 25 consecutive innings without allowing an earned run).
* And gasp, Kluber also issued a walk in the second inning (that halted a streak of 22 2/3 innings without a walk).
2) In all Monday, the "Klubot" scattered six hits and struck out seven - which by the measure of a normal pitcher, would be considered a really good outing. But coming off his first career complete-game shutout and the one before that in Kansas City, where Kluber took a no-hitter into the eighth inning, Monday's outing kind of felt pedestrian compared to the standards by which we've quickly come to hold Kluber to recently.
"Like all pitchers, you go through periods where you don't have things working," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "(But) even when you're not at your best, you're still good. I think that's where Klubes is getting."
3) MLB.com's Jordan Bastian has been on a roll lately with his catchy nicknames for the Tribe's players. Lonnie Chisenhall so liked his "Lonnie Baseball" nickname that Bastian bestowed upon him, the Indians third baseman had it patented. Heck, I even noticed Monday night that the Indians team shop even sells "Lonnie Baseball" T-shirts.
The "Klubot" nickname may not be as catchy, but it is incredibly fitting.
4) The running joke for a majority of the last two seasons had been that none of us had ever seen Kluber smile publicly. But then I learned otherwise when I watched him one Sunday afternoon playing with his daughter in the clubhouse after a game, watching as he spun her around and around in the big leather chairs that are stationed in front of each of the players lockers in the home clubhouse at Progressive Field.
5) I happened to catch another glimpse of the human side of Kluber late Monday night, as a group of us media waited for more than a half hour to speak to him after he picked up his 12th game of the season. Typically, Kluber is waiting by his locker for us after his starts, knowing the quicker he talks to us, the quicker we leave him alone and get out of the room to go write our stories.
Somehow though, Kluber forgot to wait for us and instead went in the back of the locker room that we're not allowed in and spent some time riding a stationary bike. When he was done, he entered the main room of the clubhouse we're allowed in. As soon as he looked up and saw the group waiting – he actually smiled. And then quickly apologized. I mean, sincerely apologized. Honestly, it was…weird.
6) Understand, talking to the media is something few baseball players not named Nick Swisher enjoy doing. But as soon as the TV camera lights went on and the microphones were pointed at him, the smiling Kluber went into the same mode he does on the mound. He went into Klubot mode.
It's like he finds a spot on the wall behind the group and stares ahead, rarely blinking. His face shows no expression. His voice is monotone. He speaks quietly and with a measured pace and quite honestly, rarely gives us anything good to quote him about.
7) But that same boring post-game Kluber is a big part of what makes him so darn good on the mound. The Klubot's focused. He's measured. He's never rattled.
A perfect example came in the third inning Monday. The Tribe was clinging to a slim 1-0 lead, when rookie shortstop Jose Ramirez had a tough go at it with back-to-back plays that cost Kluber outs. One a mental error, the other a throwing error, that extended the inning and forced Kluber to then need to secure five outs to get out of the jam with two runners on the base paths behind him. In was little surprise to anyone who's watched him pitch this season that Kluber simply bore down and got out of the jam unscathed.
"He handles everything," Francona said. "He throws hard and has late movement in both directions. That's a huge part of what he does. He's one of the best pitchers in the league. Klubes doesn't let much bother him and he's got good enough stuff where you put that combination together, what you see is the final result."
8) Kluber's body of work Monday may not be in the same category as his near perfection over his last two outings, but it more than enough to hand him his fifth consecutive victory.
9) The last Indians player to accomplish the feat? The Klubot himself, who did it at the end of last season as he laid the groundwork for becoming the Tribe's undisputed ace of the staff this season.

1911 accuracy secret.
I live in a part of Arizona known as having some of the top 1911 gunsmiths in the country, Yet not many of then know about one of the best kept secrets for 1911 accuracy. I once talked to Jim Clark of Clark custom guns and he told me that by using this method he could make almost any 1911 shoot 1 1/2'' groups at 25 yards with factory barrels except Springfield 1911's because of many of their two part barrels. My poor Springfield! The Secret. Proper barrel lug and reciever lug alignment. Some gunsmiths tig weld the lugs and machine them not recomended by most.. Other companies such as Brownells offer oversized lugs on some barrels so they can be machined for accuracy. If you intend to have to have your 1911 made accurate ask them if they know how to do this. If they don't know what your talking about, or say that it will not work or help, just say goodbye. This type of work is usually done by gunsmiths that do work for IPSC shooters. The barrel lugs must fit the top lugs also known as the reciever lugs properly, or the lockup will also not function well. Each time the gun is fired it must go back into proper battery. The best way that I can describe this is that the lugs must be set up in the correct horizonal alingment with the barrel bushing to create the best possible accuracy. Have you ever bought a very expensive match grade barrel for your 1911 only to see it not improve your guns accuracy! I can say only one thing Barrel lugs! This is almost always the problem. I'm just trying to save some of you guys out there trying to customize your 1911's a lot of time, grief and money by having it done right the first time. In building powerful 1911's like a 10mm, a 460 rowland or a 40 super the upper and lower lugs are not often made of strong enough steel to handle the caliber. If your lugs are not vertical any longer and are starting to slant you probably just destroyed your barrel and receiver on your 1911. Try to find a 1911 that is made from billet or forged steel. If you want to make a high power caliber change you have to make sure that your 1911 is built strong enough to handle it. Stay away from cast 1911's for high pressure cartridges. If the gun is not built strong enough you can get barrel lug setback, (SLANT) or break parts of them off . Also look into slowing down your slide speed. Use Heavier recoil springs, a compensator, and a EGW 10mm firing pin stop. Using a stainless steel 1911 also helps by slowing down the slide speed. The difference between a stainless steel 1911 and a regular steel 1911 recoil spring for comparable loads is 18lbs for stainless and 24lbs for regular steel.

One tiny hand to guide and hold,
One tiny life to shape and mold;
each child, a gift from God above,
a symbol of His strength and love.
Mrs. P's cousin's baby Robby was recently baptized and we had the honor of making a cake and cupcakes for this precious celebration! We were also asked to adorn the table with flower centerpieces. The christening took place at the Plymouth Congregational Church in Coconut Grove, FL where the baby's parents were married. After the ceremony, a lunch was held at Perricone's Marketplace in Brickell.
We made four dozen vanilla butter cream cupcakes with baby blue and white crosses made out of fondant. The centerpieces were made with small round vases filled with white hydrangeas, Gerber daisies and curly willow.

5.19.11: Celent Insurance in France: The CIO Perspective and Adoption of Social Media by French Insurers in Paris, France
5.4.11: Celent Insurance Webinar: So What If There Is An App?: Consumer-Focused Life Insurance Apps for Mobile Phones
Some insurance companies in China have started to invest in retirement communities
- Old people want to leave their apartments to their children after death.
- There is no legacy tax in China.
- The possibility of apartment prices going down is the main factor that worries financial institutions.
- Banks do not have sufficient data for life expectancy.
- Regulations are not complete: China land usage is limited to 70 years. If it is not renewed or does not get approval, then theoretically the land reverts to the state.
Mirror, Mirror – How Fair Are My Business Analysis Competencies?
The identification, communication and management of business requirements is a critical skill set in any company pursuing significant change. In order to determine the state of the business analysis function in the financial services industry, Celent teamed with the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA) to survey banks and insurance firms and take a snapshot of current performance in key business analysis skill areas. The survey was designed to hold a mirror up to the industry and reflect its perception of its performance. These are reviewed in a recently published report – Business Analysis Competencies: Mirror, Mirror: A Self-assessment by Banks and Insurers.
The data confirms what many people say in discussion on this topic – that skill development in business analysis is often insufficient to maintain sustained performance at sufficient levels. Very few companies rate their performance in any business analysis area as a strength. The highest rating was for the elicitation skill in banks and this level was assigned by only 21% of the banking participants. The study also collected opinions on which BA competencies are most critical to successful implementations. The good news for insurers is that both Life/annuities/health and P&C insurers report a close match between their highest ranked importance areas (elicitation and requirements analysis, respectively) and their performance. That is, delivery in these areas is ranked at or above average, indicating that investments that have been made are beginning to pay off and deliver benefits.
Many financial services companies are updating automation systems and continuing to improve business processes. For organizations that are modernizing their platforms, an expected benefit is to reduce the dependency on IT and move maintenance and some development into business analyst areas. Many software vendors are producing products which are designed to be configured, not programmed. This is intended to increase flexibility and speed in system development and maintenance. Neither group will realize its goals without solid business analysis skills. The Celent/IIBA survey identifies the specific gaps in business analysis skills in banks and insurance companies. Celent encourages financial services firms to use the results of this survey to examine their current approach to business analysis, place their bets on which areas are most important, and invest in skill improvement.
What does the post-PC era mean for the insurance industry?
3.25.11: Celent Insurance Peer Networking Event: Service Innovation and Tomorrow's Insurer: Approaches to Rethinking the Systems that Support Current Service Models
Prediction meets Reality
In the frame of our first report about the French insurance market published in the beginning of 2008, we warned that the French government deficit and debt levels could represent a threat for the country's economy. This was well before the financial crisis hit the European continent and its impacts on public spending. Now the problem has worsened, and even though France is still not directly fingered – as is the case for Portugal, Spain, and Italy following the Greek and Irish governments' debt crises – the situation remains alarming.
We recently asked French insurers CIOs to tell us their feeling about their industry's near future and more importantly whether they felt some macro-economic factors were impacting their business and growth prospect in the mid to long-term. Some of them mentioned that the French government was in serious need for more financial resources and would try sooner or later to tap savings accumulated by the French population.
It is well known in France that the government is currently analyzing different alternatives to change the current tax system. It's been publicly announced last week that the tax shield (law stipulating that no taxpayer pays more than half their income in taxes) implemented by Nicolas Sarkozy after his election as president will be abolished. Taking into consideration the current public debt of the country a reform of the tax system is a priority that everybody should understand. Among the different alternatives currently evaluated by the government, there is the willingness to increase taxes wealth accumulated through life insurance products and retirement savings.Our CIOs were right and the decision to tap savings accumulated by French citizens is going to impact the French life insurance industry in the coming years…
Improving Business Analysis from the Bottom Up
As part of research effort into building business analysis skills, I was talking with a manager of a business analyst department in a major U.S. bank this week. He described their approach to improving requirements collection. It struck me as an effective and practical method that I want to pass along.
Many of the models for building business analysis skills are top-down initiatives, planned and executed as part of a wider improvement program. These are often driven from a learning and development department or a special training area within the IT organization (see the Celent Report Building a Better Business Analyst – Transforming the Enterprise). This bank's approach was more "bottom-up" and grew out of a focus on their software testing process. They improved the rigor of their business requirements documentation through automating their test scripting, planning and test case development process. As part of their revised methodology, it is now necessary for business analysts to gather requirements in a structured manner that can be automatically uploaded into their test automation software. These then generate test scripts, plans and cases. This yields increased consistency, control and structure to what previously was a very ad hoc process.
This practical development approach is valuable in that it delivers skill and process enhancements as part of the day-to-day activities of software development. For those looking for a different strategy for improving requirements gathering, getting there through automated testing may help. For those that have also taken this same approach, I would be interested in knowing what the results have been.

The band's transfer to top league status was completed with the inclusion of their song "Viva Rock" into the credits of the popular animé series Naruto in 2003. Orange Range's debut album, 1st Contact, was delivered that same year, stopping just one place short of the top of the Oricon, and although it fell off the charts very fast, this was still a success -- and a sign of things to come, as after that the band embarked on a near-fantastic commercial rampage, scoring eight consequent number one singles. This was a record for the 2000s, and even the accusations of plagiarism against Locolotion did not stop Orange Range's advancement, which culminated in the second LP, musiQ, selling 2.6 million units in 2004, and in their songs getting picked for another big animé, Bleach, as well as numerous TV commercials.
The third album, Natural, sold 1.9 million copies in 2005, but Orange Range's winning streak ended the next year, when drummer Kitao Kazuhito, one of the founding members, left the band. Initially it was said to be due to health problems, but eventually the truth got out that it was creative differences -- more precisely, Kazuhito's aversion to the band's drift from rock to hip-hop. The group still managed to have their track "Champione" accepted as the official song of the 2006 Soccer World Cup, and then went on to have a 100,000-copy of their "limited" single Un Rock Star released; however, their fourth, self-titled album became their lowest-selling (only 347,000 units). Still, in 2007 they were back to form, writing songs for a J-drama, animé series Code Geass, and releasing a best-of double-CD that topped the charts just as their fifth studio album, Panic Fancy, did in 2008. ~ Alexey Eremenko, Rovi

Miguel Sano hit his first home run of the year on Tuesday evening. He has only been held hitless in one game so far this year and he was hitting .421 entering play today. The Miracle had a 5-0 record entering play tonight and new manager Doug Mientkiewicz has to be pleased with his team performance. How long can they keep it going is another question.
Two of the best pitching prospects in the Twins organization were suppose to be on the mound in the upper levels of the minor leagues. Both Kyle Gibson and Trevor May were scheduled to make their second starts of the season and each man was looking for his first win.
Let's see how things went on a west Wednesday night in the minor leagues.
|It was a little cold in Wisconsin
Kyle Gibson didn't get to take the mound on Wednesday due to inclement weather. The game will be made up on Monday, June 17 as part of a doubleheader at PNC Field. The first game will be scheduled for 5:35 pm (Eastern Time) with the second game following shortly after.
Rochester was trying to win back-to-back games for the first time this season. On Tuesday, Chris Colabello cranked a solo home run to break a 1-1 tie in the ninth inning. Anthony Slama closed the door in the ninth inning for his first save of the year and the 101st of his career.
The Red Wings will now travel to Pawtucket to open a four-game series with the Red Sox beginning on Thursday night.
New Britain Rock Cats 17, Harrisburg Senators 5
The Rock Cats found themselves in a tight contest with the Senators before back-to-back four run innings put the club out in front for good. A rain delay wasn't even enough to slow down the Rock Cats offense as the team pounded out 17 hits and 17 runs including 15 runs in the last four innings.
Reynaldo Rodriguez and Josmil Pinto each had two home runs. Rodriguez finished the game going 3-for-5 with two bombs, a two-bagger, and four RBI. It was quite the game for Rodriguez considering he didn't have a hit so far this season. Daniel Ortiz, Danny Lehmann, and Nate Hanson joined the mash party as New Britain pounded out seven home runs in the game.
Trevor May started for New Britain and gave up two earned runs on four hits including one long ball. It took him 82 pitches to get through four innings so he wasn't exactly being efficient. He struck out seven batters and walked three. May was replaced by Edgar Ibarra who three two perfect innings and struck out four.
New Britain starts a four game series at Portland tomorrow night. The club sits one game over .500 and they will try to continue to play winning baseball.
Fort Myers Miracle 7, Jupiter Hammerheads 6 (10 innings)
The Miracle found themselves in an early 4-0 hole and this could have spelled trouble but the team was able to complete the comeback. The win improved the Miracle to 6-0, the club's best start since 2006.
In the bottom of the tenth inning with two outs, a pitch hit Kyle Knudson with Jonathan Goncalves already on first base. The next batter was Stephen Wickens and he sent the fans home happy with a line drive single to center field.
Miguel Sano went 2-for-5 in the game with his third double of the year. With a double and a triple, Angel Morales had his first multi-hit contest of 2013. Kenny Vargas and Jonathan Goncalves added two hits of their own while Goncalves rocked his first home run.
Tom Stuifbergen pitched six innings and only allowed one earned run. Sano had two errors in the first inning and this caused a few unearned runs to score. Corey Williams earned his first blown save and Adrian Salcedo picked up his first win out of the bullpen. He struck out two of the four batter that he faced in the 10th inning.
The Miracle finish out their series with the Hammerheads tomorrow night. The team looks to remain unbeaten on the season before heading out on the road for a weekend series with Charlotte.
Cedar Rapids Kernels -- , Wisconsin Timber Rattlers -- (Double Header-- Postponed)
For the second day in a row, the Kernels game against the Timber Rattlers was postponed. The team was supposed to have a double header today but it was too cold in Wisconsin to be playing baseball.
Cedar Rapids was off to a very good start with a 4-1 record so it is disappointing that they haven't been able to play the last couple of days. Hopefully, the team can get in some action tomorrow as they head back to Iowa to play the Clinton LumberKings.

Energy Oatmeal Clusters
These are great for breakfast. Just pick some up and take them with you!
They're healthy and easy to make.
I saw this on The Chew on TV and I just had to try them. They really are good. I love how quick it is to make them and that you can just pick up your breakfast and go out the door. Some days we just have to do that.
Adults and kids will like these Energy Oatmeal Clusters. Breakfast is an important meal and these are perfect for it. Compared to all those sugar cereals, these are really healthy!
You can make them the night before and not have to do anything in the morning, except get them out of the refrigerator and get going! These are amazing for me, because mornings are always a rush!
Instead of chocolate chips, you could use carob chips and share them with your dog!

Fabio Lanza
About Fabio Lanza
I am a cultural historian of twentieth-century China, with a particular focus on political activism and urban space.
My first single-authored book, Behind the Gate: Inventing Students in Beijing traces the origins the category of "students," which has been coeval and coincident with Chinese modernity itself. Through an original analysis of one of the crucial episodes in the historiography—and imagination—of modern China, the May Fourth movement of 1919, I show how the signifier "student" was the result of a historical process. To put it simply, while in China—as elsewhere—there had always been people who studied, the political category of "student" was far from pre-determined and was actually produced through political practice during a particular historical moment. These Chinese "students" came to existence only through the confrontations that had the university—its relationship to learning and the state, and the very definition of "students"—at their core.
My work reconceptualizes student activism by considering how students challenged the distinctions between the cultural and the political, the intellectual and the quotidian. Political activism was expressed and realized in students' lived practice: in the reformed pedagogical and learning routines, in the daily life of the campus, in the osmotic relationship with the city and its people, and finally in allegedly "cultural" student organizations. By looking at all these aspects, I embed political history in the practice of everyday life.
Here is an interview on the book in New Books in East Asian Studies: http://newbooksnetwork.com/eastasianstudies/2013/05/30/fabio-lanza-behind-the-gate-inventing-students-in-beijing-columbia-up-2010/
With my colleague Jadwiga E. Pieper Mooney, I have co-edited De-Centering Cold War History: Local and Global Change (Routledge, 2012).
I am currently working on two new research projects. The first is an analysis of the role of Maoist China in inspiring and defining political and intellectual activism in the US and France between the late 1960s and the late 1970s. The second is a street-level history of a district of Beijing between 1953 and 1983, tracing how communism (and capitalism) redefined and transformed the practices and rhythms of the everyday.
I teach introductory classes on Modern China and Modern East Asia as well as a course on Communist China through films, memoirs, and fictional narratives. I am also looking forward to teach a new course on "The Global Sixties". In all my courses, by expanding the reading list beyond what are usually considered historical sources, I lead students to look at how history is continuously produced around us and to read everyday materials as potential "archives." For graduate students, I teach Historiography, Comparative World Revolutions, a course on the Chinese city, and I contribute to the world/comparative minor.
I was born and bred in Venice, Italy and moved to the US in 1998. When I am not working, I am usually working out or cooking.

Lions running back Mikel Leshoure didn't get much of a chance last season. He got two carries in three games. Otherwise, he was a healthy scratch. Even with Reggie Bush , Joique Bell , and Theo Riddick in front of him, the former second-round pick is trying to stay positive now that a new coaching staff is in Detroit.
"They give everyone a fresh start," Leshoure said. "I feel like that's what I needed. It's fair game now, and I can just go out there and compete.
"I just got to prove I can be available for this team, and just be able to help. Bein' there, and when my number's called, bein' ready."
But Leshoure must prove that he can be useful at a significantly higher weight than what he checked into the league at just two years ago. When he was drafted, Leshoure was 227 pounds. This year, he entered camp at he 242.
Fantasy Analysis:
That's a big gain for a guy who already looked slow on the field. Leshoure says it is muscle, but the photo of him in the linked article below isn't a flattering one. He looks plump.
Even without pass-fixated offensive coordinator Scott Linehan, the Lions profile to still be a throw-first team. Leshoure has seemingly never fit into this offense's ideology or how fast it wants to play. It would be best for his NFL future to get released and find somewhere else to play. He has been a tremendous bust.

Eating Local: The Cookbook Inspired by America's Farmers by Sur La Table with Janet Fletcher, includes recipes like Lebanese Pickled Turnips; Grilled Cauliflower Steaks with Tahini Sauce; and Grilled Eggplant Cannelloni with Ricotta and Prosciutto.
by Sur La Table with Janet Fletcher
Culinary trendsetter Sur La Table and award-winning author and journalist Janet Fletcher present Eating Local: The Cookbook Inspired by America's Farmers, the definitive locavore cookbook showing food lovers how to incorporate more local, fresh ingredients into their kitchens and how to celebrate the local foods from their Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) box or farmers market.
"Our customers are intimately involved in the locavore movement and we feel that that this book, with the expertise of Janet Fletcher, will support their efforts in being able to fully experience the benefits of the products from their local communities," said Kathy Tierney, former CEO of Sur La Table and now vice chairman of the board. "We are inspired by the work of the passionate farmers in the book."
In addition to providing recipes, Eating Local takes readers onto the land and into the homes of 10 of America's best small farmers across the nation with inspiring photography and personal stories about the committed growers who make the locavore movement possible.
Available in bookstores and through major online book retailers, Eating Local arrives just in time for the 2010 growing season as CSAs and farmers markets reach an all-time high in subscriptions and support. Localharvest.org lists 2,500 registered CSAs on its site, with listings growing by 50 percent annually. USDA reports that certified farmers markets have tripled in the past 15 years, with more than 4,500 today.
"The revolution is well under way in how individuals think about their food," Fletcher said. "Local, sustainable, family farms, community: These words add up to a whole new way of purchasing, cooking and appreciating food. Eating Local is a guidebook to this movement. The people profiled here are in the front lines of the movement, and the recipes are for anyone who wants to participate in it."
But with growing interest in local food, how does one make the most of the bounty? "Even committed locavores may not know how to use some of the produce they find at the farmers market or in their CSA boxes," Fletcher added. "So with this book they can be sure that nothing they buy will go to waste. The book is full of ideas for storing, preparing, and preserving the best of each season."
Other highlights of the book include:
Author, journalist and cook Janet Fletcher trained at the Culinary Institute of America and at the celebrated Chez Panisse restaurant in Berkeley, CA. Her writing for the San Francisco Chronicle has received three James Beard Awards. She has written for most of the nation's premier food and wine publications and is the author or co-author of 20 cookbooks. A certified Master Gardener who maintains a large garden of perennials and edibles, Janet lives in Napa Valley with her winemaker husband.
Since 1972, chefs and home cooks with a love for fine cooking have flocked to Sur La Table. With a successful direct mail catalog, e-commerce site, culinary class program and more than 75 stores nationwide, Sur La Table continues to share its passion for exploring the traditions of the world with people who love to cook and entertain.

Apple CEO Tim Cook said in an internal memo to employees that Apple decided to settle with the FTC rather than face a long, drawn out legal battle. He also said that the changes demanded by the FTC to settle the case, happened to be the same changes that Apple was planning on doing anyway.
Many of the charges rung up by kids include in-app purchases made by these children after a free app is downloaded. Not understanding the financial aspects of the purchase, young children were buying extra lives, super powers and other high priced content. Many of the parents allowed their kids to download a freemium game, not thinking that the children could end up spending thousands of dollars after the game was downloaded for free.

This stroller is one of the easiest joggers out there! Your little one will absolutely enjoy every outing, being that it has great cushion and the color just pops. Putting it together was a breeze and you won't be disappointed. Delivery from this company is honestly the fastest I've experienced, without paying the high shipping fees. Albee Baby rocks!
So many to list :)
Hmmm, maybe that it should come with a cupholder attached.

Great experience ordering from Albee baby. We received our order quickly. The stroller was easy to assemble, and I also love how easily it folds and opens. I really like the look of this stroller. It's sleek and stylish. Hope I am as pleased with it once baby is here, and I actually get to use it.

Beautiful Stroller
November 22, 2015
The stroller is beautiful. It was a bit tedious to put together but once we were able to fully understand the directions, it was easy sailing. I gave the Quinny Buzz Xtra a 4 out of 5 because of a few things. The basket doesn't provide much storage space, the cup holder has to be purchased separately, and there is no tray for the child to feed him/herself. Other than that, I think it's a solid stroller. The color is rich and it pairs well with the Maxi Cosi carseat.
Adjustable handle bar, optional front wheel swivel, adapters included for car seat, easy brake function, multiple reclining positions.
Cup holder sold separately, No food tray,

Baby chair can be placed facing forward or backwards which is very convenient, chair can be in a full reclining position (baby can takes a nap comfortably), adjustable handler, breaks easy to use, performs great in off road locations, sun canopy is extra large. It has everything I expected in a stroller. And it looks stylish, I got many compliments. It's definitely worth the money.
By Tabitha
Great for on-the-go Moms!
October 6, 2015
I was looking for a stylish stroller that wasn't bulky & easy to use while traveling... This one met most of my expectations. The shortcomings are: you have to buy the cup holder separately, the shopping basket is pretty small & there isn't a tray attachment that you can buy if you want to give your LO snacks & have he/she feed themselves.

Nice Stroller
September 21, 2015
I love shopping with Albee Baby. They always have great prices and fast shipping. I had been eyeing this stroller for a while and finally bought it. We received it less than a week after ordering it. I had a Graco travel system with my other 2 babies and I am so glad I decided to get a luxury stroller this time around. This stroller maneuvers with ease. The forward/rear facing seat is easy to change and is by far my favorite feature of this stroller. I can't wait to be pushing my baby around in style.

Love shopping @ Albeebaby!! Ordered this stroller and got it in within 4 business days!! W free shipping stroller came well packaged, and in perfect condition! This is a great stroller! And w my first child I had a bugaboo camaleon which was good but I def like the Buzz much more first of all cant beat the price for what your getting and it folds in one piece, I purchased this along w the Maxi Cosi prezi in the natural color and I love the way they both look together!!! Couldn't be happier!!

almost wish i would of gone for another stroller ..

the stroller came well packaged but still came damaged the side of the frame was scratched, the bottom was scratched and some of the upholstry was pulled. contacted Albeebaby and i was given the option of returning it, however that would of taken a little over 2 weeks and I'm due anyday now. they gave me a 20% discount which i guess is better than nothing. I've had the stroller for about a week and already the damage has gotten worse without even using it. just having it around. the frame gets scratched so easily. the material is very soft and cushioned. the color is true. and it looks pretty nice. i would of loved to have given it a better ratting but by the time my baby comes i feel like the frame will be beyond scratched. if not destroyed. i would love to invest in the carry bag but at this point I'm considering just buying a whole different stroller . i strongly recommend just buying the case or bag just because otherwise the stroller will end up looking terrible. i can only imagine how much worse it will be when the baby is actually using it on a daily basis. i used to own the quinny zapp extra which i loved very much and lasted me years (was also purchased at Albeebaby ) this was probably the reason i decided to upgrade to a "bigger and better" Quinny ...so i thought
the cushioned seat is extremely comfortable and can easily fit a toddler. looks pretty cool. tires look like they can deal with all types of terrain.
frame scratches easily, not good for jogging. or long walks. wouldn't travel with it . not very reliable.
Best Uses
short walks, or strolls at the mail.
