I've said it before, and I'll say it again. The internet is EXHAUSTING.
Yell again. See if it helps.
Spread a little more hate and bitterness. See what you get in return.
Continue to be sarcastic and belittling. I think your point will be missed.
Be yourself! You're beautiful! Don't worry about what others think! But we will make fun of you if you do anything we think you shouldn't.
Have your own opinion. Don't let anyone control you. Be free. But please, for goodness' sake, agree with us so that we don't have to say horrible things about you.
Find the joy in life! Don't be so expressive!
Be true to yourself! Agree with us!
Love wins! Until hate expresses my feelings better!
And no one wins.
No one.
This world we live in is a chaotic crazy mess and it's our fault. None of us are perfect, and we are all hypocrites, and personally I am tired of it. Pick a topic, and all the above is true for it. Every side is horrible and evil and mean, at times. And the thing I don't understand is so often we Christians are right in there in the middle of it all. I know, I know! We are humans, too. I get it. We aren't perfect, but friends, can we try to be a little more kind?
To people you know. To people you don't. To strangers on the street. To strangers on Facebook. To politicians, movie stars, authors, presidents, candidates. Can we not disagree in a manner that isn't so vile?
I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in saying, it would really be appreciated if we could find that area to stand.
Life isn't easy. Why are we so determined to make it harder?
Let's reply with soft answers. Let's really listen to the heart of what is being said. Let's speak calmly. Let's stop making fun of others and creating bully pulpits.
I believe the majority of us are trying to do the best we can, and really do want better. Maybe if we all simply start making those small changes in our own circles and areas then it will continue to spread and a change will really happen. But we have to make those changes every day. Not just when it's convenient. Not just when someone agrees with us. Can we do that?
Let's allow God's grace to change the other person, and simply work with God on ourselves. If we started there I think things could really be different.

Hart's Home Services's Up-Front Pricing Policy Means You'll Never Be Surprised or Blindsided!
Avoid sticker shock by knowing how much your electrical service or installation job will cost in advance. Hart's Home Services service technicians will always tell you the price before they begin the work and give you a selection of pricing options so that you can make a wise decision for your family.
We Charge By the Job, Not By The Hour
You should never pay for slow or inefficient service. That's exactly what happens when you pay a service company by the hour instead of by the job. Because we charge by the job, you never pay for slow or lazy technicians. And because our trucks are fully stocked, you won't have to pay for time spent shopping for parts and materials. We train our technicians to diagnose the problem quickly and fix it right the first time. By taking the clock out of the equation, our technicians don't feel as much pressure to hurry through an electrical service job. Rushing through a job can lead to mistakes or overlooking details. The Clearwater Electricians at Hart's Home Services take the time necessary to make sure the job is done right the first time. This is how you benefit by knowing the cost of the job before we begin the work.
Standard Service Call Fee
Hart's Home Services charges a standard dispatch fee for all on-site service calls which is payable to the service technician at time of service. These fees are:

Things have been pretty quiet in this corner of the blogosphere – mostly due to the fact that our family has been on the road for almost 2 weeks straight. We spent some time with my sister and her family in Iowa City before heading up to our old stomping grounds in Milwaukee.
Along the way, I found the best travel companion… and no, I'm not talking about the girls. Although they are pretty great travel buddies ;)
prAna, one of my favorite active wear companies who I've raved about before, sent me the most amazing dress to bring along on my summer adventures.
I packed my black lace print Quinn dress for our road trip, and it's been my "go to" outfit this whole trip. I've never been great at packing (I tend to bring my ENTIRE closet), but I've learned that having versatile pieces can really help pare down my travel wardrobe. And now that there are THREE women to pack for in our family, suitcase space is scarce.
As far as versatility goes, the Quinn dress can't be beat! I've worn it with wedges, sneakers, and sandals – making it perfect for pretty much any occasion. But the perfect travel dress has to have a few more key features (wrinkling is a BIG no)!
Here's what makes MY perfect travel dress:
And for any fellow breastfeeding mamas, I can also attest that this is an awesome dress for nursing! Definitely a bonus for me!
Another travel favorite this trip have been Stonyfield YoKids squeezers. Both girls gobble them down at home, but when we're on the road, we love them even more! Mess free, easy to pack, and a guaranteed "win" to satisfy the girls' summer cravings!
Satisfy your #SummerCravings
If you're looking for a tasty summer treat, definitely check out my posts on how to make homemade "Banilla" Frozen Yogurt and a lightened up Mexican Layer dip (both using Stonyfield yogurt of course)!
And while yogurt may help satisfy your cravings for a tasty treat, I think fashion cravings are just as important ;)
That's why I'm super excited that prAna is letting me give away my new favorite dress to a lucky Makingmine reader! Entering is easy!
Enter to win a prAna Quinn Dress!
If you see something you just HAVE to have for summer (I have my eye on the Angelique dress), prAna has offered 15% off your purchase with the code SCS16JOMU (expires July 7, 2016). Let me know if you find a "must have!"
Find me on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram to continue the conversation! And please SHARE with a mama who you think would enjoy this post!
*Thank you to Stonyfield and prAna for sponsoring this post as part of the YoGetters blogger program :)

"I spent most of last week in Washington, D.C. and it is GREAT! to be back in America," was the opening remark from Texas Senator Ted Cruz at the South Carolina Tea Party Coalition Convention recently. Cruz spoke for approximately 40 minutes and delivered a speech which resonates with many Americans. The following are a few of the highlights from Cruz's speech:
I very much agree with Ronald Reagan's observation that Republicans win when we paint not in pale pastels but in bold colors.
If you compare 2004, the last race Republicans won nationally to 2008 and 2012 by far the biggest difference are the millions of conservatives who showed up in 04 who stayed home in 08 and 12. And if we nominate another candidate in the mold of a Bob Dole or a John McCain or a Mit Romney – all of whom are good, honorable, decent men – but if we nominate another candidate in that mold, the same people who stayed home in 08 and 12 will stay home in 2016 and the democrats will win again.
If you're looking to Washington for courage(laughter) – it ain't gonna happen.
We need to demand of every candidate who stands in front of us two things: number one, tell the truth and number two, do what you said you would do.
We need to abolish the IRS. We need to move to a simple flat tax that lets every American fill out his or her taxes on a postcard. We need to padlock that [IRS] building and put those 110,000 IRS agents on our southern border.
We need to audit the federal reserve.
We need to repeal every word of Obamacare.
Please leave your cellphones on. I wanna make sure President Obama hears every word tonight.
We need to defend the 10th Amendment, or as President Obama calls it 'the what'? The fundamental protection that says the power is not given to the federal government but to the states and to the people.
There's a host of areas where the fed has no business and that includes curriculums in our schools – and we need to repeal every word of common core. (standing O)
We need to stand with the nation of Israel. (standing O)
We have never seen an administration in this country so antagonistic of the nation of Israel as this administration. We remember some months ago when Israel was experiencing rocket attacks from HAMAS – when the Obama FAA banned commercial air flights into he nation of Israel. When that happened I went out and asked a simple question: did the Obama administration just launch an economic boycott on the nation of Israel? I pointed out that we don't ban commercial air flights into Yemen, into Afghanistan, into Pakistan – we don't even ban commercial air flight into much of the Ukraine and you'll recall Ukraine just had a passenger airliner shot down by Russian separatists. So why then had this administration singled out Israel for disparate treatment when they have one of the safest airports in the world because one rocket had fallen harmlessly a mile away from the airport. And why did they do it at the exact same moment John Kerry was in the Middle East with $47 million for Gaza that will end up in the hands of HAMAS and we were trying to pressure Israel to stop taking out the rockets and the terrorists.
Afterwards Cruz took questions from the audience.

The Multi-Bear is a magical beast who lives in a cave at the top of a high mountain. Dipper went to go and conquer it in order to attain manliness. It has eight heads, with one main intelligent head that is capable of human speech.
Season 1
Dipper was sent by the Manotaurs to kill the Multi-Bear and bring back one of its heads as the final test to prove his manliness. When Dipper arrived, the Multi-Bear, showing a surprising degree of civility, told Dipper that to fight him would be foolish, and that if he didn't leave, he would kill him. However, Dipper refused to leave, and as such, the Multi-Bear carried out his threat, and engaged Dipper in combat. Unfortunately for him, the Multi-Bear found Dipper to be too agile and small of frame, toppling onto his back after being choked with the grip of Dipper's spear.
Staring death in the face, the Multi-Bear accepted his fate, asking for but one last request: to die while listening to his favorite song. Dipper, being nothing if not sporting, granted his request, but found to his surprise that the Multi-Bear's favorite song was Icelandic pop sensation BABBA's "Disco Girl," a song he himself was fond of.
Upon discovering this common interest, the Multi-Bear and Dipper held a brief dialogue on the subject, before being brought back to the matter at hand. Being an honorable beast, the Multi-Bear made no attempt to take advantage of the situation, preparing to receive a finishing blow. However, he never received it, as Dipper refused to kill the beast after finding out that he "is a really nice guy." Upon doing this, Dipper, according to the Manotaurs, did not acquire manliness.
Season 2
A miniature-model of him is seen in "The Love God" when Mabel is trying to decide who could potentially be Robbie's date.
In "Weirdmageddon 2: Escape From Reality," the Multi-Bear is in the Mystery Shack which now acts as a stronghold for the group of townsfolk and other creatures Dipper and Mabel met during summer, led by Stan. After Dipper and Mabel find their way back to the Shack, the Multi-Bear comes out of the bathroom, saying that they have ran out of toilet paper. He now wears a couple of eye patches. He might have injured a couple of eyes due to Weirdmageddon. (However when he is waving goodbye to Mabel and Dipper at the end, his eye patches are gone and his eyes are good as new).
In "Weirdmageddon 3: Take Back The Falls," the Multi-Bear assists in the attack on Bill Cipher and his minions, manning the periscopes with his multiple sets of eyes and hands. Following Bill's defeat, the Multi-Bear is seen among other Gravity Falls creatures, waving off Dipper and Mabel as they return home.
The Multi-Bear is shown to be a fairly no-nonsense type, quickly dismissing Dipper as yet another challenger doomed to die, and warning him away in light of that fact. He is not afraid to defend himself, as despite Dipper's young age, he puts up quite a fight. Once bested, though, he shows that he is surprisingly humble and honorable, making no attempts to reverse his fate, but merely requesting that he listen to his favorite song one last time. He also seems to have a lighter side, as he gets rather animated when discussing his love for BABBA with Dipper. Underneath his fierce exterior, it would seem he is a fairly gentle soul, displaying many human qualities.
The Multi-Bear is a large black bear with eight heads and twelve limbs. He has one main head, capable of human speech and possessing the prime brain of the creature, which is surrounded by four other heads on his neck region. He has three other heads, one on his back attached to a partially formed separate body, and one in each of his two crotches.
He has two sets of arms, and two sets of legs, as well as an additional, vestigial set of limbs on the partially formed body on his back. He is capable of standing upright on his multiple legs, as well as crouching down on all eight of his main limbs (excluding the four on his back) in the same fashion as a normal bear would.
On a closer look the Multi-Bear seems to have three separate bodies: two at the front and one at the back. Each of the two front bodies has a head on either shoulder and one in the crotch, while the backmost body has only a single head, and all three are attached to the main head on top. As each body has four limbs it all totals to eight heads and twelve limbs.

"I wish to die listening to my favorite song."
"All the manotaurs make fun of me because I know all the words to the song 'Disco Girl.'"
"Just so everyone knows, we're out of toilet paper. Did I miss something?'"
- "Between the Pines" revealed that the Multi-Bear was originally going to be called the "Bear Bear."
- It was also confirmed in "Between the Pines" that Dipper would say to him "There, there, Bear Bear."
- "Weirdmageddon 3: Take Back The Falls" reveals that the Multi-Bear has taken a class on shiatsu massage.
- While the Multi-Bear's main head is intelligent and capable of human speech, the rest of his heads are more animalistic in terms of intellect and only grunt or roar. Sometimes they do their own thing independently of the main head, such as chewing or sucking on their paws.
- The main head, however, is able to command the others to perform more complex tasks, such as simultaneously operating the multiple periscopes during the attack against Bill Cipher.
- In the Weirdmageddon series the Multi-Bear is noticably smaller than he was in Dipper vs. Manliness.

Children's Literature - Kathleen FoucartThe "Monster Chronicles" is a series of reference books about things that go bump in the night. In this book, divided into four sections, readers are introduced to the world of werewolves. The first section gives a basic introduction to the idea of werewolves. The second talks about the mythology surrounding werewolves and how a person might become one. The third section goes into historical werewolves, meaning the witch trial-era werewolf accusations and confessions. The fourth talks about famous werewolves in modern movies, books, and TV shows. The premise for the series is good, as a lot of children are now interested in fantasy/horror and fantastic creatures; nevertheless, the writing style sometimes seems inconsistent. At times the author seems to be saying werewolves are mythological creatures and sometimes it sounds as if they are being presented realistically. While the historical facts should be presented as such, this still might cause confusion for younger children who might pick up the book. Also, the fact that the werewolf confessions were often obtained by torture is only briefly mentioned in a blurb and would be easy to miss if the child was not reading closely. Nevertheless, the woodcuts are well-chosen for illustrating the historical information and are a good introduction to the artwork of the Middle Ages and early Renaissance. As with all the "Monster Chronicles" books, there is a bibliography and a list of Web sites included at the end so more research may be conducted if needed.
Editorial Reviews
School Library JournalGr 4–7
Written in a chatty style that draws readers in, these titles attempt to explain the origins of and continuing fascination with the individual monsters. Drawings and movie stills make up the bulk of the illustrations. Frankenstein and Vampires also include brief excerpts from the novels Frankenstein and Dracula . However, since Frankenstein is not the name of the monster in Mary Shelley's book, the references to him as such are erroneous. Although Krensky clarifies this misconception in chapter two, he continues to refer to him in subsequent references as "Frankenstein," which is confusing. There is also a mistake in the description of the plot of Young Frankenstein . Gene Wilder's character is not the son of Victor Frankenstein but his grandson. Vampires is missing several sentences in its description of Buffy the Vampire Slayer . In addition, a caption of George Hamilton as a vampire in Love at First Bite is incorrectly labeled as being from the movie Dracula: Dead and Loving It . Despite some errors, these titles are sure to entice horror fans.

Can, the in-put of a socio-cultural organization such as the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh be considered a sort of public administration agency in the field of socio-cultural development in general and socialization of individual personality-growth in particular?
Public administration aims at bringing about economic development through the device of civil service and its administration. Deployment of bureaucracy at different echelons in the administrative set-up keeping the individual in focus.
Broadly stating, the principles of management of both the functionaries are in no way different from each other. POSDCORB (Planning, Organization, Staffing, Directing, Coordination, Reporting and Budgeting) - the famous term in the field of science of public administration is considered as the basis of the organization and management of both the two functions.
There is nothing new in its application. POSDCORB is the device in the process of governance of the State and its application is equally relevant to the functioning of RSS.
Governance in the process of State administration heavily depends on the tenet of 'POSDCORB', RSS functions on the same set of principles. POSDCORB in the context of State governance is responsible to the maintenance of law and order governed by the principle of rule of law in the legal framework of 'law in the State', it is accountable to the people (legislature), however enforcement is neither the function of the RSS nor the responsibility to maintain law and order in the State.
After all RSS is not a statutory unit. It is essentially a socio-cultural NGO (non government organization).
"POSDCORB is an acronym widely used in the field of Management and Public Administration that reflects the classic view of administrative management. Largely drawn from the work of French industrialist Henri Fayol, it first appeared in a 1937 staff paper by Luther Gulick and Lyndall Urwick written for the Brownlow Committee. The acronym stands for steps in the administrative process: Planning, Organizing, Staffing, Directing, Co-Coordinating, Reporting and budgeting."
Fayol's fourteen principles of management are as follows: Division of Work, Authority and Responsibility, Discipline , Unity of Command , Unity of Direction , Subordination of Individual Interest to General Interest , Remuneration of Personnel , Centralization ,Scalar Chain (line of authority with peer level communication) , Order , Equity ,Stability of Tenure of Personnel , Initiative Esprit de Corps .
If we carefully note the above , with reference to the State- governance and the functioning of RSS , every point mentioned therein is meticulously followed by both the applicants. In fact any NGO is required to follow the abovementioned tenets carefully lest they would fail .
However, these principles were criticized by the theoreticians later in 1940's and 1960's. It can be summed up as, "as early as 1938, literature began appearing in the field of Public Administration challenging the validity of POSDCORB and the concept that there could even be a rigid set of principles in administration. In 1946 and 1947, prominent Public Administration scholars such as Robert Dahl, Dwight Waldo, and Herbert A. Simon released articles and books criticizing POSDCORB and the principles notion. Simon's article Proverbs of Administration challenges the POSDCORB principles by stating "For almost every principle one can find an equally plausible and acceptable contradictory principle." Among other criticisms, Simon states that the POSDCORB principles are an oversimplification of administration. Simon's criticisms largely center around span of control and unity of command, stating that sometimes it is necessary for a subordinate to receive guidance or directives from more than one source, as well as Gulick's division of labor concepts ".
The criticism was a consequence of fast changing nature of economy and industrial revolution all over the world. Great depression periods, disasters of W.W.II , post World War II , devastation of Europe , liquidation of different military and imperial colonies spread all over the world- all these factors led to an added tenet of ' welfare economic policies and public administration ' incorporated in the process of governance.
The environment of economic development policies focusing the poor and the deprived ones who in the early 20th Century appeared fascinated by the Bolshevik revolution , soon realized their frustration and returned to the liberal republican democratic fold. I think, the emphasis shifted from bare economic development to nationalistic and cultural traits.
The impact of the colonial rule on the 'ruled' led to defacing and twisting the respective histories of the native communities all over. Most of the 'ruled' communities succumbed to the foreign European and Islamic pressures and acquiescingly embraced their foreign traits. Some of these did not succumb. India was one who tried to resist and partly succeeded, thanks to the ancient cultural roots. Roots of RSS could be traced in this preservative nationalist attitude when Dr.Keshav Baliram Hedgewar from Nagpur, a town in Central India , emerged as its champion, as a sharp response to the Macaulay an tendencies. Dr.Hedgewar cannot be considered as a typical 'chauvinistic' patriotic politician since he never spoke of any sort of Hindu superiority , all he wanted to submit was the existence of the ancient roots of the Indian civil society. He proclaimed that the majority Hindu community was competent to protect these roots of the ancient Indian civil society if they remained united. There was no chauvinism whatsoever in this submission. Dr.Hedgewar was a well qualified person , medical graduate and his early team mates too were well versed with the indigenous principles of modern management ( without referring to Fayol and Gullick and Urwick ! ) . Perhaps he contemplated and visualized an NGO which would function on these principles of modern management.
RSS is always considered as a very effective organization in implementing its decisions. It plans big programmes and it is implemented effectively. Communications are issued at the top level and they are transmitted at the lowest rung in the shortest possible period. The RSS has a well-oiled , trained man power whose total obedience and commitment happens to be the main cause of the success of the organization. The recruitment of these volunteers at the lowest 'shakha' level is carefully groomed and carried with great efforts . The training of these recruits commences at the 'shakha' level right in their youth. Inculcating the values of character building , honesty , dedication , commitment and 'nation first' attitude among the cadres and also the leadership qualities has always been of top priority in the organization. These qualities are imbibed consciously and with deliberate plans and programmes. Maintaining high quality health- card is specially taken care of. The first, second and third year OTC are the programmes which take care of these objectives. In modern way of expression it is a personality development programmed and courses in leadership development. Advocates of RSS maintain that the RSS personnel should lead the society. They are the volunteers in times of natural catastrophies. It is important to note that the RSS personnel have time and again proved this in the society. The entire organization and management of the RSS is transparent and beyond doubts. Those who feel that its operations are secretive and their activities are obscure and concealing , they think this way because they do not have experience in functioning in an organization responsibly. (Such idle persons indulge excessively in the realm of RTI world.)
The best type of service is to remove the basic disease of the loss of national consciousness and cohesion and build a strong, well-organized and self-sustaining national life. Golwalkar Guruji .
The above vision has always been of top priority of the RSS in its approach to all the programmes This approach is not a chauvinistic one.
On the contrary , the General Secretary of RSS in his Annual Report which he submitted to its Annual General Body meeting held in the Nagor ( Rajasthan ) meeting in March 2016 expressed serious concern over the national scenario and submitted as following. I quote---
It is necessary to further tighten the security arrangements and make them foolproof so as to ensure that such incidents are not repeated anymore. Reviewing the efficiency of the Security Forces, the materials at their disposal, as also the officers in charge, necessary changes should be made.
It seems that Pakistan's India policy is decided by the Military Establishment and not by the elected government. The incidents from Mumbai to Pathankot testify this. Presently, the whole world is concerned about the growing menace of terrorism.
Incidences of destruction of public and private property, attacking the police force throwing the rule of law to the winds, looting and burning of business establishments, especially those run by Hindus, had taken place. Political parties, giving up their policy of appeasement, should take such incidents seriously and cooperate to restore the law and order situation and peace. This will be possible only when political parties and the ruling parties shed their petty and parochial political interests, and make a combined effort in the right direction. No political party or person is more important than the national security. It is the responsibility of an efficient and strong government to instill confidence in the people about their security.
In the name of freedom of expression, how the slogans calling for the breaking up of and destruction of the nation, can be tolerated, and how the guilty, which had hatched the conspiracy to blow up the national Parliament, can be honored as martyrs? Doing so it, itself will be treated as an antinational act. Those who do such things have no faith in our Constitution, judiciary, Parliament, etc. These subversive elements have made these universities the centres of their activities for long.
It is very delightful that the moment the reports about these incidents became public, there was all round condemnation from everywhere. We expect from the Central and State governments to deal strictly with such antinational and antisocial forces and ensure the sanctity and cultural atmosphere by not allowing our educational institutions to become centers of political activities.
Such incidents that pollute the social environment are sure to affect the social life.
The change that took place in the political sphere last year, has made people in Bharat and the Bharatiyas living abroad happy and proud. This mood has been discernible in programmes conducted by people of Indian origin in other world countries.
At the global level, the celebration of the "Yoga Day" by a majority of world nations is an indication of the acceptance of Bharatiya spiritual thought and way of life by the world at large.
The expectations of our people have naturally increased and an atmosphere of confidence has developed. Therefore we expect those who are in power to accelerate the process that has paved the way for this new-found confidence and make it more pronounced.
The acceptance the nationalist discourse has been gaining steadily and the resultant unease among the antinational and antisocial forces has come to light through certain recent incidents. The antinational activities at the Bhagyanagar (Hyderabad) University and the J.N.U. have thoroughly exposed their conspiracy.
Violent agitations in Gujarat and Haryana for the demand of reservation are not only a challenge to the administrative machinery, but will also weaken the social harmony and trust. Such incidents will certainly affect social life. This is a matter of grave concern for all. There should not be injustice or oppression of anybody, but the society should be vigilant and the administration should take strict action on the persons and organizations engaged in anti national activities in a planned manner. The only solution to such problems is well organized society.
The ever increasing public participation in our programmes and steady increase in the number of Shakhas are a matter of satisfaction for all of us. Now we are experiencing a favourable atmosphere everywhere.
Through well-planned efforts and hard work we will be able to transform the prevalent favorable atmosphere into concrete results. And if we move ahead with a firm resolve, the coming time will be ours; and this confidence itself is our strength." Unquote.
The above reference is significant in two ways : First , the transparency shown in the affairs of the functioning of RSS in public view, and secondly , the policy views adopted by the General Body of the RSS. It is to be understood that the policy resolution mentioned as above , was the culmination of the deliberations on these topics right from the lowest rung i.e. 'shakha' and above levels. All of them are united , and they come together to discuss thread bare and reach a consensus. Dissents are withdrawn or surrendered once a consensus is arrived at.
RSS is known for its discipline, and the discipline is maintained by everybody in its united action. Freedom and liberty is paramount but its boundary is strictly adhered to , since they believe that freedom of dissent does not entail freedom of destruction. There is no freedom of arrogance or conceit. There is of course, always a danger of persecution by 'majorityism' . In political democracy a political minority has to learn to concede to the majority view. It is always the skill of the leadership which is required to bring about a delicate equilibrium in varying views in such situations.
In fact , it is a folly to describe RSS as a reactionary force , on the contrary it is a catalytic agent of a much progressive outlook, with a modern approach of building political society. Sans Western interpretation of the essentially European term 'secularism' , RSS is out and out a non-religious ( not anti religious ) organization which does not focus any religious celebration on its agenda . The atheists and pervert minded thinkers will find it difficult to understand these facts and the vision of a 'nation' . The pseudo modernists tend to break themselves from their own past , they are essentially anti-continuity existentialists species anarchists with faith in nothing. Atheism, in their opinion, is the final destination of human civilization. RSS ideology has faith in human civilization; it attaches more importance to human emotions and sentimental life. It is not a 'robot '.
The purpose of referring the Sarkaryavaha's reported speech in the AGM of the RSS is to show as to how the outlook of RSS on national security issues is emotionally different from POSDCORB since POSDCORB essentially is neutral and indifferent to such issues. POSDCORB is supposed to be in the service of the 'citizen' for his welfare. RSS looks after the citizen's emotional health by building his nationalist attitudes. POSDCORB is concerned with the citizen's civil needs. RSS primarily aims at building one's character and self-discipline in the process of personality development.. Moreover , the reported speech is also an example as to how the transparency of intentions and plans is maintained by the RSS. The said speech was flashed and reported on web within a couple of days. Where is the alleged secrecy?
RSS , thus , is a socio-cultural association of like-minded citizens seeking cultural welfare whose primary purpose is 'character-building with the motto ---NATION FIRST.

Massive Clean-up Underway To Give Ganta Facelift
By S. Kannay Ziamo, LINA Nimba County Correspondent
GANTA, October 27 (LINA) – The Sam Brown Network-Liberia (SBNL) in Ganta, Nimba County, in collaboration with the Ganta City Council (GCC), has launched a massive clean-up campaign to give the city a facelift.
The exercise launched Thursday will be carried out in 28 communities within the city and its surroundings for time indefinite, Ganta City Mayor Benjamin Dokpah has said.
Dokpah indicated that tools such as shovels, wheelbarrows and hoes, among others, were provided by SBNL, a newly-established organization whose mission is to keep the city clean for a healthy environment.
The Ganta City Mayor said keeping the city clean is one of the major priorities of the GCC, adding that "the doors of the GCC remain open to anyone or organization wishing to join hands in making sure the city is clean and healthy."
It can be recalled that early this month, the GCC embarked on shutting down private homes and public facilities without sanitary facilities like bathrooms and toilets.
The measure, according to Dokpah, is part of efforts to make Ganta a better city for everyone to live, noting that his office will not relent in enforcing city ordinances.

Erik Lowe, a native of Salt Lake City, Utah, began his culinary career by way of the Pacific Northwest. Ever since he was a boy, he and his family have visited relatives in Washington State where he learned to fish for Dungeness crab and taste water to table cooking for the first time. During high school, he worked at a few local restaurants in Salt Lake City before taking a position at the Porcupine Pub & Grill where his passion for cooking began to take hold. One blizzard-struck day, Lowe decided to skip class at the local community college and go skiing. En route, his car broke down. He proceeded to hitchhike his way to the slopes when chef Gary Pankow of the lauded Café Diablo serendipitously picked him up. What began as a casual conversation during the ride ended in a job offer. Lowe skipped town and moved to southern Utah where he spent the summer season cooking refined Southwestern food.
In 2001, Lowe enrolled at the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco. Upon graduating in 2003 he took a job at Jeanty at Jack's under the tutelage of chef Justin Deering. Lowe quickly ascended to sous chef, a post he held for two years. From there, he helped launch the now-closed Tartare restaurant and intermittently cooked at Piperade and Bocadillos. In 2006, Lowe joined Hiro Sone's team at Ame as Greg Dunmore's exectutive sous chef. Together, the team was awarded a Micheline star in 2008. In 2009, he landed the chef de cuisine job at BIX, a beloved San Francisco fine dining establishment. He helmed the kitchen for four years before helping chef-owner Bruce Hill and the Real Restaurants team re-open another San Francisco institution, Fog City.
It was during his time at BIX and Fog City that Lowe met his now business partner and pastry chef Aaron Toensing. Together, they began to joke about opening a restaurant, a fantasy that evolved from a burger spot to a traditional red sauce joint to Spaghetti Bros., a refined San Francisco eatery serving up innovative American standards.
At Maybeck's Lowe's plan is to create comfortable American cuisine with an open minded approach. The food will be straight forward and seasonal with a hint of smoke from his new favorite toy, the Josper Grill.
Born in St. Croix Falls, a small Wisconsin town bordering the Mississippi River, Aaron Toensing launched his culinary career on a riverboat the summer after eighth grade. In a region where dining out was rare and restaurant options slim, the boat offered a glimpse into the exotic world of fine dining and entertainment. That summer, and every summer until high school graduation, Toensing returned to kitchens where he continued to gain skills in service etiquette, event catering, and cooking. Buoyed up by his cooking experiences on the riverboat, Toensing enrolled at University of Wisconsin-Stout to pursue a degree in hospitality and food service. Realizing mid-education that he wasn't interested in hotel management or food service administration, 22-year-old Toensing left Stout to work as a line cook at a nearby Hilton Hotel where he soon found himself in the pastry department. From the beginning, he was drawn to the science of desserts. In pastry, he discovered that his aptitude for precision in the kitchen was well suited to the high degree of organization and meticulous methods needed to execute consistently superior desserts.
In 1996, Toensing enrolled in the pastry program at California Culinary Academy in San Francisco. Degree in hand, he signed on as pastry cook at Postrio in 1998, where he stayed for three years working under Janet Rikala. 2001 brought an offer to oversee the pastry program at Bix. The restaurant provided a platform for Toensing to explore, evolve, and refine his pastry prowess in addition to meeting now business partner Erik Lowe. Toensing and Lowe worked together for four years before helping chef-owner Bruce Hill and the Real Restaurants team re-open Fog City. Shortly thereafter, Toensing and Lowe decided to open their own spot, which was originally named Spaghetti Bros., in the Marina district.
At Maybeck's, Toensing's dessert menu reflects his "simple is better" philosophy. His five to six rotating desserts include house-made gelato; his take on traditional tiramisu; seasonal fruit dishes such as apple pie with hatch green chiles and a cheddar-flecked crust; and grilled nectarines with brown butter. Toensing also oversees the pasta program at the restaurant. His pastas are made using an Italian brass extruder, the sound of the machine echoing the hum of a Mississippi River paddle wheeler.

Nice film! Very informative, you should do a series on frogs and look at the genetics next – they're also really interesting.
A Frog Blog
By Bill Morris
Archey's Frogs from Science Communication on Vimeo.
This week the film students completed their science profile project – an assignment to create a profile of a scientist or PhD student. This one was made by Wu Peng on the native Archey's frog and the work being done by Bastian Egeter in the Zoology Department. Bastian is analyzing the stomach contents of rodents to determine if they are a contributing factor in the alarming decline of the species.
New Zealand's native Leiopelma frogs are fascinating – they are an ancient lineage that existed in the time of the dinosaurs and have changed very little since then. They differ greatly from most other frogs around the world in a number of ways. Firstly, they do not hatch free-swimming tadpoles but "froglets" with tails. The adult have vestigial tail muscles, do not croak and have no eardrums. Also, they lack the ability to land gracefully when jumping; instead they "bellyflop." Recent research suggests Leiopelma diverged from other frog species before the latter evolved the ability to reposition their hind legs mid-flight for a landing. This adaptation in more advanced frogs would have given them greater ability to escape predators.
New Zealand's unique frogs are at great risk – already three of seven species have disappeared. Bastian, as well as Dr Phil Bishop and his team in the Zoology department are working hard to keep the remaining four species from extinction. For more on their work, have a look here.

Nikki DeLoach Talks 'Awkward' Season 5, 'Sirens,' Baby Son Hudson And Fashion: Exclusive Interview
After five remarkable seasons, MTV's hit show "Awkward" is coming to an end - leaving the careers of its stars at an all-time high. We called up Nikki DeLoach, who plays Lacey Hamilton, to talk about "Awkward's" final season, her upcoming role on "Sirens," her sixteen-month-old son Hudson and her stellar sense of style.
Hi, Nikki! How are you?
I am so good! I had a music class with my son, I'm doing interviews today, I just picked up some sushi and then I'm on to a table read for "Awkward."
"Awkward" was just recently picked up for a fifth and final season! What do you hope to see happen in the final season?
That it ends up not being the last season and we go for five more seasons! And I hope, really and truly, that Lacey is able to send Jenna off to college and have their relationship be in a good place and maybe, for once in her life, to feel like she did something right with her daughter. Also, I would love for Lacey not to get too fat while being pregnant!
How do you feel about leaving Lacey behind?
I was just having this conversation with Barret [Swatek], who plays Ally. I was saying to her, "I'm so sad. I'm already so sad and mourning the loss of her." I'm going to miss her so much. She's been one of the best characters I've ever gotten to play in my life. I'm going to miss everything about her. I don't know what I'm going to do! I hope I don't go in a deep, dark depression.
On "Awkward," you play Jenna's mom, and the series has been filming so long that when you started, you weren't a mom, but now you are. Did having your son change how you see Lacey?
Because of the way I work as an actor, I don't really substitute my own life experiences. I build a character from the ground up and give them their own set of life experiences, so I can really inhabit the character instead of bringing my own life into it.
But I will say that is that becoming a mother has really taught me to be in the present moment as much as possible when I'm on set, because it's really hard as a mom when you're working to feel guilty and feel like you should be home with your child - but then when you're home you're thinking you should be working. I heard this really smart, wise guy say that balance is a load of crap. You'll never be able to find balance. The best thing you can do is whatever you're doing at that moment in time, just to give it 100% and be in the present moment. I've learned how to do that since becoming a mother and that's how it's affected how I work on the show.
You blog about parenting on SheKnows.com. What inspired you to start sharing those experiences?
When I was pregnant, I would go online and read up on being a parent and the preparation for what it looks like, and it's all about, like, how to make the perfect homemade baby food. For me, I'm more of a messy human. I don't always get things right and I make mistakes. I was looking for someone who was saying, "I fell on my face but I picked myself up and it was okay in the end," but I wasn't really finding that. So I began writing down my own stories and my own experiences and SheKnows is the perfect home for that.
You're also very active on social media - you have almost a million Instagram followers! How do you find time?
I really think it goes back to balance. I'm not going to lie, it's really hard and it's a struggle I deal with every day, wanting to be there for my son and wanting to be a good wife and a good friend and daughter and sister and all of these things, but also honor what I came into the world to do myself: ever since I was a kid I wanted to entertain and I wanted to tell stories, and that's been such a huge part of what makes me happy and my soul happy.
It goes back to what I said about balance, which is the best advice I've heard is that balance is a load of baloney. Throw it out the window, and every day wake up and say, "I'm going to be with my son in the morning and give him 100%, and then I'm going to set aside an hour to sit down and write my blog, and I'll give that 100%, and then I'm going to go work and do a table read for 'Awkward' and give that 100%." It's really about being in the place you're in in that moment of time in the most present way possible, and knowing at the end of the day that you're doing your best. You have to know yourself that you're doing the best you can. My grandfather always told me, if you're doing the best you can, nobody can expect anything else and you shouldn't expect anything else from yourself.
Your next role is on "Sirens," which will air on February 10. How did you get involved with the show?
There's this amazing writer, her name is Annabel Oakes. She wrote on "Awkward," so I had gotten to work with her before. And the showrunner for "Sirens," Bob Fisher - who, by the way, I have to give a shoutout to, is one of the most kind, wonderful showrunners in the business. I also worked with him on an episode of "Traffic Light" many years ago - I got an offer from him to go on the show and play this mother who is overworked and overtired and exhausted and she's a single mom with a young daughter. She is trying to throw a spend the night birthday party for her daughter, and along the way, something happens and the EMTs have to be called, who are played brilliantly by Kevin Daniels, Kevin Bigley and Mike Mosley. She ends up becoming best friends with the character Kevin Daniels plays - he becomes her new gay best friend, which he so desperately needs.
Let's talk about fashion! You've been walking a lot of red carpets recently. How do you go about choosing your look for each event?
I have to give a lot of credit to my stylist, Hellin Kay. We've worked together for three or four years now, and she really knows me and knows what looks good on me, but she also pushes me to go out of my comfort zone sometimes. I have to give a lot of credit to her. For me, when I'm going to choose something, I want to wear something that's comfortable - I'm not going to stand in a pair of heels that will kill my feet or wear a dress where I'm not going to be able to breathe - but mostly, I want something that I feel represents who I am. I want it to be a little feminine, sometimes a little edgy or sexy, but mostly classy and feminine. I'm not a girl that goes over the top, but I want to find something that I feel really good in and that gives me the confidence to step on that red carpet.
Well, you always look great! That's exactly what I was noticing when I was looking at your recent photos: you have this very classic, elegant style and then every once in a while there's this edge to it, which is very cool.
Yeah! Usually the edge comes in when Hellin is pushing me to wear something that's a little bit different. At first, I'm like, 'I don't know!' but then I put it on and she's like, 'You can do this!' and I trust her. We have this great relationship. We have a lot of fun doing it, and I think that's the most important thing - not to take any of it too seriously. But I've learned that over the last couple years, having a great fashion moment can really do a lot for you and your career. People take note and think, if you look good and present yourself well, it's a good image of who you are and other people notice. It matters, and it's important to both have fun while doing it and to represent yourself as best as possible.
Who are your style icons?
I love the Hepburns - Audrey Hepburn and Kate Hepburn. For Audrey, there was such a classic style to her. And for Katharine Hepburn, she was so bold in her choices and it was a time where women weren't really wearing pants and she said, this is my way and I love that about her. Her personality really came through in the clothes she chose to wear. I also love Jane Birkin, she's one of my favorites. Those three ladies can do no wrong in my eyes.
What are three things in your closet you can't live without?
One is my J. Brand skinny jeans. I wear them so much that one of my pairs just ripped the other day when I put them on - they're like five years old and I wear them so much that it's a testament to J. Brand that they didn't fall apart before then! I also value a really good T-shirt or a really solid blazer. You also need that basic little black dress that you feel sensational in, and you can dress it up with a pair of heels or wear a pair of tights and booties. If I have my pair of jeans and a T-shirt and blazer and a great dress that I feel good in, I can take those items anywhere I go. They're always in my suitcase anytime I travel.
Is there anything else we should mention today?
Talking about "Sirens," I want to say what an amazing experience it was working on the show. It really has something so special, and I hope that people tune in and watch or set their DVR. The three guys on the show are the nicest guys, but they're also some of the funniest and most talented people I've worked with. They have a great group of people - Annabel Oakes as a writer and Bob Fisher as a showrunner - and I hope people keep watching and that it's on for years. It's a really special show.
We'll definitely tell people to tune in - Tuesday, February 10 at 10/9C on USA!

A FEW years ago, I took part in an anti-Euro advert with Harry Enfield, Bob Geldof, Gordon Ramsay and whoever else we could rope in.
Commentators called us a bunch of sad, old has-beens - which, of course, we were.
But we believed passionately in our anti-Euro cause.
We were appalled that British sovereignty might be handed over to corrupt, anonymous, unelected bureaucrats in Brussels and Frankfurt, and we were happy to stand up and be counted.
We have waited and waited for the pro-Euro-pudding lobby to make their own case with high-profile supporters. But it has never happened.
Now there is talk that David Beckham is to be offered the job of fronting the "yes" campaign in the referendum on the EU constitution.
The argument is that Beckham's career shows how wonderful it is to be able to travel and work freely in Europe. And it does get you away from the wife!
Awash with far too much money, morally suspect and way past his best... I think Beckham would be perfect to represent the EU.
NORMAN Wisdom says he plans to retire when he is ninety.
Apparently Gordon Brown has informed Norm he is going have to work a lot longer than that if he wants a decent pension.

My first (and only) taste of Haggis. I don't feel that the video does it justice. It really wasn't horrible, despite my initial facial expressions. It tasted a little bit of cinnamon spice and mashed up internal organs. Just not really my thing, but then again, I haven't been eating it since I was young.Read more
The sad news: I am back in Edinburgh and the tour is over. The good news: I am still in Scotland. I can't say I'll miss being on the bus, though it was an educational experience. Between everyone's random jokes (most of which aren't fit to print), punishments, and bus karaoke, time on the road […]Read more
Today was an immersion into two more things Scottish – superstitions and wilderness. Despite the ghost of the Duchess of Sutherland roaming around, we didn't lose a single Haggis tour member to Carbisdale Castle. There were a few unusual occurrences – my hairdryer (of course I brought my hair dryer) working only sporadically, when it […]Read more
I am writing from my dorm room in Carbisdale Castle. No, castles and dorm rooms don't usually go hand in hand, but in this case, it works. Understandably, castles and wireless internet have not yet developed a relationship, so I won't be posting photos until our next stop. Today was just another day in Scotland […]Read more
Day one of the Haggis tour and I find it hard to believe that Scotland and England share a border. It all feels so…Scottish. This is a good thing. I learned several things today from Carol, our Scottish guide. 1) Scotland is the source of all important inventions, including tarmac, telephones, and epidurals. It doesn't […]Read more

Happy Monday everyone! It feels like I have been away from this little blog forever! I think it feels extra long because so much has happened since the last time that I posted. I meant to come at you all with a post on Saturday, but I ended up being pretty busy with family, and my high school reunion, and … let's be honest, sleeping.
I hope that you all had a good Christmas. Mine was amazing. I had so much fun spending the past few days with family and friends, and most especially this little one. Christmas is so much fun with kids (or babies!).
We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas morning at our house for the first time ever. I loved it even though I found myself pretty busy the days leading up to it, with getting the house ready, and packing for our trip to Cochrane.
On Christmas Eve, my parents arrived at our place at around 4:00. We visited and played with Lochlyn until dinner time. We have this great tradition with my parents on Christmas Eve. We order in sushi! No dishes, no cooking, and sushi is my favorite so it works out awesome.
The only picture I took turned out blurry – sorry guys!
Dinner was fantastic. We ordered from a local sushi place called Tokio Sushi and I am always pretty impressed when we get food from them. Their prices are great, and their servings are generous. Most importantly, everything is fresh and delicious. We ordered a couple assorted trays that included some maki rolls, nigiri, and sashimi. I also ordered some extra salmon and tuna sashimi for everyone to share.
After dinner, Lochlyn went to bed and we ate Christmas baking with my parents, and opened stockings. We decided to open our gifts on Christmas Eve since Christmas morning was going to be pretty rushed, and Lochlyn had a ton of gifts to open. Also, we knew we would all be pretty focused on Lochlyn in the morning.
On Christmas morning I was awake bright and early at 5am. I get so excited for Christmas that I can't sleep – I am such a kid at heart. Everyone else woke up around 7:30 – we are all early risers I guess. After I fed Lochlyn, she opened a huge pile of presents from my parents, and Josh and I. She is such a blessed little girl, and got so many great things. She loved the present opening, especially tearing the wrapping paper off of boxes.
After Lochlyn went down for her nap, it was breakfast time for the rest of us. I made this bread pudding, and it was so good! It is technically baked french toast, topped with a cinnamon and brown sugar crumble. I highly recommend it. I served some christmas-y looking fruit salad. In true family tradition, we also had mimosas (except not me, since I am still breastfeeding).
After breakfast we got all ready to go, hopped in the car and headed to my Aunt and Uncle's house in Calgary for Christmas dinner. On the menu was a full turkey dinner, with lots of Christmas baking for dessert.
Lochlyn loved playing with all of her great aunts and second cousins. She also got to spend some time with her great-grandma. She is such a social butterfly and never makes strange with anybody. She loves having everyone's attention and she got a lot of it, especially since she is the first grandchild on both sides of our family.
After dinner Josh and I called it an early night and headed to my parent's house to get Lochlyn to bed. I was nervous that she wouldn't sleep well in her playpen, but she fell asleep right away, and slept awesome!
We spent the next few days in Calgary visiting with family and friends. On boxing day we went to my Uncle's (my dad's brother's) house for leftover turkey dinner. Am I right in saying that turkey leftovers taste just as good the next day?! Dinner was so good I couldn't believe that it didn't come right out of the oven. My uncle has only met Lochlyn once before so I was glad he got the chance to spend some time with her. He has a daughter who is 3, so we had fun playing with her too!
On the 27th, my Grandpa (my Dad's dad) came to my parent's house for brunch. My mom served two amazing crustless quiches. I wish I took photos, but I was too busy eating them. It was great to visit with my grandpa. He lives pretty far away from us, so we don't get to see him often.
In the afternoon I went for a quick run by my parents' house. It was actually the first time I have run outside since the summer, and it was hard! My parents live in a really hilly area, and I am used to running on the flat treadmill. My total elevation gain during my 5k run was 519 ft. I think I need to spend some more time running hills, because I am sore today.
After my run, I started getting ready for my high school reunion. I know I briefly mentioned it on the blog, but I had my 10 year high school reunion this year. Crazy hey? I ended up going to the reunion with my best friend, Steph, from high school, while our husbands stayed home since they didn't know anyone.
My graduating class was somewhere between 400-500 people. Steph and I didn't even recognize most of the people at the reunion. The venue also wasn't the greatest. It took place at a large pub, which was fun, but extremely loud. It was hard to have a conversation with anyone. Not very many of my old friends made it out, but it was good to see some familiar faces. It was also interesting to see how much some people have changed, and how much some people haven't changed at all. I am glad that I made it to the reunion, but I wouldn't exactly say that it was a great time.
Can you find me? Hint – I am the whitest one in the photo! My friend Steph is to my right.
I didn't make it home on Saturday night until 1am. I am usually in bed by 10, so it was a late night for me. The next morning, Lochlyn woke me up nice and early and Josh, Lochlyn and I drove to Steph's house to meet for brunch before the drive home. Lochlyn loved playing with Steph's little pomeranian. I wish I took pictures because they had so much fun together!
After brunch my little family finally made the trip home. We had such a good holiday, but it is so nice to be home again. One of the best things about travelling, is it makes you love home so much more. We have another busy week ahead of us this week with Josh's parent's coming. They get here tomorrow evening, and are leaving on Friday. We are planning on celebrating Christmas with them all over again. I know Lochlyn is excited!
How many days do you usually end up celebrating Christmas?
Did you, or would you go to your High School reunion?
