What is your Style? Country or Contemporary
What is your style?…There are so many options when it comes to choosing interiors, everything from furniture to lighting! Contemporary and country styling are two very popular styles in interior design. It has often been noted that your interior design aesthetic reflects elements of your personality. So what style do you identify with most? Could you potentially be a little bit country, or more contemporary in nature?
If you like contemporary styling, you will likely gravitate towards clean lines, open spaces and natural elements. Contemporary also refers to styles that are popular at any one moment in time. In today's terms that would mean bold blocks of colour, geometric shapes, black and white (monochrome) colour and unique pieces of furniture, all displayed in an uncluttered open space. The La-Z-Boy Henderson chair fits this aesthetic perfectly, with its black leather upholstery, black and white cow hides sides and back and the clean lines of the wing back chair (with studded detailing!)
Click here for more details. To complement the La-Z-Boy Henderson chair and give the room a real contemporary vibe, you could add textured cushions with complementary colour palettes, a touch of nature with a planter in a jute macrame holder and lamp with bronzed minimalistic stand. Instantly you will have created a space that is not only contemporary, but that will leave you feeling energised and sophisticated.
Country styling can be quite broad with influences from a number of different era's and origins i.e. American country, English country, French country. Country styling has evolved, as requirements from a modern world have changed, however one thing that has remained consistent (despite era or location) is warmth, comfort and that desire for cosiness.
The La-Z-Boy Henderson chair also lends itself to this style with its comforting wing back arm rests and the cow hide fabric on the back and sides. Match it with the richness of colour from a floral accent cushion, traditional inspired lamp, textured accent cushion and warm cosy throw and your space will exude Country living.
So if you think one of these styles represents you, go ahead and enter our competition to win the La-Z-Boy Henderson chair and associated accessories and you will be on your way to contemporary or country living. (details below)

The other night I was watching a movie and there was a scene where a girl had her tits out and they were BEAUTIFUL. I tried my DAMNDEST not to sexualize them, to see them as 'just breasts,' but they kept presenting themselves as 'tits.' As I stared I started to meditate on a time when her and I both looked like the 'couple' in the picture above; when 'tits' were merely provisionary…

In my late-20s for a little less than a year I flirted with performance enhancing drugs; not HGH, steroids or anything like that, but the stuff you could get from those shops that are always right outside of chain gyms, the ones with 'muscle' and/or 'nutrition' in their titles. Even though what I was taking were like Skittles compared to what the big boys were droppin' an' shootin' I did notice an 'enhancement' to my workout routines and subsequent play on the court. In the gym I could heavy-rep heavy weight and on the basketball court I was able to just 'do shit,' like go from thinking 'I'm gonna tomahawk dunk over that guy' to tomahawk dunking over that guy. This was stuff I could do before, but not this 'professionally.' Everything felt 'relatively easier' than it did before which was sexy as hell. Felt beyond-good to be warming up before a game knowing I was about to do some ridiculous shit once the ball was tipped, and that the people in the stands were gonna freak the fuck out when I did it. And this was just RECREATIONAL ball (highly competitive, but still just weekend warrior shit). I could ONLY IMAGINE how dick-hardening pulling this shit off would be on the professional stage. Speaking of which…

For as long as I can remember it has never been 'cool' or 'hip' to be patriotic. Such a thing is typically associated with Second Amendment dick-riding, Fox News-watching, pickup truck driving, big-ass flag waving middle-aged white men, aka the DEFINITION of uncool. But here's the thing: Hip hop (the current EPITOME of cool) is incredibly patriotic…in-its-own-unique-way. On damn near every hip hop album you'll find lyrics gushing about the American cities from which the artists hail. They even have endearing nicknames for 'em: The Boogie Down, The Chi, The ATL, The Town, The Sucka Free, the list goes on an' on; and these towns don't exist anywhere else in the world, but thanks to hip hop, the neighborhoods—and sometimes single streets or intersections—within these quintessentially American cities are now internationally known. Tell me that shit ain't patriotic as fuck.

Confession: During junior high (some of you call it 'middle school') and my first couple years of high school I pretended to be Black™. It reached its zenith during 8th grade when a fellow suburban race perpetrator and I shoplifted red bandannas from a local K-Mart so we could more effectively 'claim a set.' I wasn't too good at the faux-Black™ thing though. I could never quite master the noun/verb disagreement, disregard for the possessive and superfluous pluralization (example: "We goin' over Tim mama house to play some Maddens.") or that damn Swag™. I had my moments though, but I was far too inconsistent. Oddly enough, there were a few white dudes I knew who were WAY BETTER at this than I. I was in awe of them actually. Took notes an' everything.

The United States of America™ is the most recent (and most 'popular') brand of Diverse Peoples Whose Ancestors Evolved In Different Places, Under Different Climates Living 'Relatively' Peacefully In ONE Place. Such places are beacons for criticism because they don't make 'sense.' How can such a diverse collection of human particles come together without 'banging' into oblivion (read: descend into an orgy of xenophobia-driven death an' destruction)?! Perhaps our incredulity is due to the fact that we don't believe we can unite our-goddamn-selves! If we're such individual messes how can we live in peace with others who are either equally or more messy than us? But here's the rub: We desperately WANT to believe this, hence our boiling over frustration whenever ANYTHING happens that contradicts this notion. Shit's kinda beautiful. In a fucked up sorta way.

Last week, the Republican-led Senate and Democratic House failed to come to an agreement on whether to reconvene for a special session to take action against Gov. Paul LePage for a series of racially charged remarks and profanity-laden threats against a Democratic lawmaker.
Under the Maine Constitution, the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate are first required to poll their members on whether to meet for a special session. The question presented by Democratic leaders asked, "Do you consent to coming in for a special session of the Legislature to take action regarding the Governor's conduct?"
However, Senate President Mike Thibodeau announced last Friday that he would not agree to poll his members because the question did not specify what action would be taken. He noted that while a number of Republican senators expressed a desire to censure the governor for his behavior, they did not want to return for an impeachment vote, which Democratic leaders have advocated for. He argued that Democrats are more focused on gaining political advantage than holding the governor accountable for his actions.
"I think that the Democrats are playing politics when they suggest that we're going to impeach the governor," Thibodeau told conservative news talk radio station WVOM. "He hasn't committed a crime. He obviously stepped over the line, and said so himself, but the problem is that here we are 60 days before an election and rather than talking about … all the great things that both Republicans and the governor have been able to accomplish together, we're talking about these comments."
According to poll results released by Democratic leaders, 84 lawmakers supported reconvening and 67 lawmakers, nearly all of them Republicans, opposed it. Four Republican House members supported returning while Rep. Barry Hobbins (D-Saco) was the sole Democrat to oppose it.
On September 1, House Minority Leader Ken Fredette (R-Newport) told WVOM radio hosts George Hale and Ric Tyler that it was not the role of the Legislature to discipline the governor and blamed the "liberal media" for focusing too much on LePage's controversial remarks.
"Am I going to go with a checklist and say, 'Geez, you know … Governor, are you doing this? Are you doing that? I don't think that's my job," said Fredette. "I don't think that's the job of the House of Representatives. I don't think it's the job of the state Senate."
LePage sparked a national controversy two weeks ago when he doubled down on comments he made seven months ago that black men are coming to Maine to sell heroin and impregnate "young, white" girls. In his most recent remarks, he stated that "black people come up the highway and they kill Mainers." LePage later sent a voicemail to Rep. Drew Gattine (D-Westbrook) calling him a "little sonuvabitch socialist cocksucker" for allegedly calling the governor a racist, even though it was later revealed that Gattine had actually used the term "racially charged" to describe the governor's comments. In a press conference, LePage then called Gattine a "snot-nosed little runt" and fantasized about facing the lawmaker in a duel and pointing a gun "right between his eyes." The governor later noted that "When you go to war … you shoot at the enemy" and "the enemy right now, the overwhelming majority of people coming in, are people of color or people of Hispanic origin."
LePage says he has a binder full of mugshots of drug dealers to "prove" that 90 percent of drug traffickers in Maine are black or of Hispanic origin, but has not released it to the press. According to the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency, only about 16 percent of drug arrestees are non-residents and 11 percent of drug-sale and manufacturing arrests were African-Americans in 2012.
Following a national media firestorm and calls for his resignation, LePage apologized to Gattine and his family for the obscene voicemail, but not for his racist remarks. LePage also called on the TV news reporter who informed the governor about Gattine's comments to apologize and vowed never again to speak to the news media, with the exception of conservative talk radio.
Democrats Respond
In response to the refusal of Republicans to reconvene, House Speaker Mark Eves (D-North Berwick) said the issue was about "a matter of principle, not procedure or politics" and that the question left Republicans "plenty of room to advocate for the action they believe is appropriate."
"With the whole country and world watching, it is now official and in the record books," wrote Eves in a statement. "Elected Republican leaders have failed Maine people."
In a Sept. 1 press conference, Eves also noted that if the Legislature removed LePage, Thibodeau would be installed as the next governor. He added that the Senate President is "arguably ... more conservative than the governor" and would likely be "more effective than the governor."
"So if you're a conservative and you care about conservative principles and an agenda, I think that you would want an effective leader to take over as governor," Eves told reporters. "You know, I don't have a whole lot to gain in saying that, but I know the state would be better off if that happened."
When asked for a response by the Bangor Daily News to Eves' comments, Thibodeau reacted angrily, stating, "The fact of the matter is this is not about impeachment and there will be no Governor Thibodeau."
An earlier effort to impeach the governor in January failed to secure enough votes in the Maine House.
Rep. Jeff Evangelos (U-Friendship), who helped lead that earlier impeachment effort, has now requested that Secretary of State Matt Dunlap invoke Article 5, Part 1, section 15 of the Maine Constitution, which allows the Secretary to petition the Maine Supreme Court to evaluate whether the governor is able to continue discharging the duties of his office.
The letter, which was signed by eight other legislators, including Sen. Dave Miramant (D-Knox County), states that "there are more than reasonable grounds to invoke this clause of the Maine Constitution to examine mental health issues and possible substance abuse issues that prevent Gov. Paul LePage from undertaking his duties as prescribed in his oath of office. Governor LePage has made repeated threats of violence against sitting Legislators and members of the public."
The letter highlights several of LePage's controversial remarks, including when he allegedly told a real estate developer last year that Democratic state lawmakers from Lewiston should be "rounded up and executed in the public square." The letter also argues that the governor has made statements supporting "extra judicial killings" and "vigilante justice," such as last January when he advocated for bringing back the guillotine to deal with drug offenders and called on gun owners to "load up and get rid of the drug dealers."
When asked for a response, Dunlap said he would "think about that."
Sen. Chris Johnson (D-Lincoln County) as well as Reps. Pinny Beebe-Center (D-Rockland), Joan Welsh (D-Rockport), Chuck Kruger (D-Thomaston), Christine Burstein (D-Lincolnville) and Mick Devin (D-Newcastle) said the governor should be impeached.
Under the Maine Constitution, a sitting governor can be impeached and removed from office for the vaguely defined "misdemeanor in office," which Democrats have argued can simply mean "official misconduct."
Rep. Pinny Beebe-Center said that LePage should either be removed from office or given a leave of absence for treatment and recovery. "I believe he is in no state of mind to be Governor," said Beebe-Center. "I don't know if it is a result of his own personal cycle of domestic violence and he is abusing others as he experienced abuse. I don't know if it is alcoholism, or the pressure of the office — but I don't believe he should be in a leadership position, at this time, when so many lives of people literally depend on his judgment."
Rep. Chuck Kruger said that he would like to vote to impeach the governor again because he has believed that LePage was "psychologically unfit for high office" since he was elected. Failing that, he said that he would support some kind of resolution to censure LePage, even though he didn't believe it would have much impact.
"I believe if the voters want to punish the Governor they should work to elect veto-proof majorities of Democrats in the House and Senate in November," said Kruger. "That will be very tough for this Governor to deal with and send a very clear message."
Republicans Respond
Local House Republicans MaryAnne Kinney (Knox), James Gillway (Searsport), Stephanie Hawke (Edgecomb) and Deb Sanderson (Chelsea) would not answer questions about their decision to not return to Augusta. But a number of Republicans have jumped to the governor's defense. In an op-ed in the Twin City Times, Lewiston Mayor Bob Macdonald praised LePage for his comments and accused "the left" of "sissify[ing] the population."
"If a governor's election was held today, Governor LePage would win handily," wrote Macdonald. "Why? Because he speaks for the hard-working common people, not the wine-sipping, cheese-eating, Prius-driving Maine elitists.…"
Writing in the ultra-conservative Maine Wire blog, Rep. Larry Lockman (R-Amherst) also defended the governor against criticism by what he described as the "toga-clad bedwetter caucus." He argued that Maine voters knew they were getting "a blunt-spoken, proverbial bull-in-a-china-shop business guy who occasionally uses locker-room language in response to critics who take cheap shots at him" when they reelected LePage. "For many voters, having a Governor unshackled by the constraints of political correctness was a breath of fresh air after decades of smooth-talking, scripted chief executives who drove Maine's economy into the ditch," wrote Lockman.
Rep. Steve Wood (R-Greene) replied with a sarcastic note of gratitude to Massachusetts resident Laurie Hunt, who threatened to boycott Maine due to the lack of action against the governor. Wrote Wood: "Thanks for not coming to Maine we have a nought [sic] mass holes here in Maine that trying to tell us true Maine r's [sic] how to live our lives and what we can and can't do. I don't tell you how to run your state so don't tell me how to run our state Thanks for not coming to Maine Rep Steve Wood"
Meanwhile, with Republicans holding a five-seat majority in the Senate and being just nine seats short of a majority in the House, there's no doubt that Democrats will try to capitalize on the governor's behavior until election day. And with both Thibodeau and Fredette floated as potential successors to LePage when his term is up in 2018, there's a lot at stake this November. But while Fredette is currently running unopposed in his rock-ribbed conservative district, Thibodeau is facing the same candidate who he only defeated by 105 votes in 2014, which was a notably strong Republican year. Both LePage and Fredette, who have often clashed with Senate Republicans, didn't seem too concerned when WVOM host George Hale suggested the GOP could lose control of the Senate.
"I expect to lose the Senate," said LePage on Tuesday. "I just think that the lack of action the last two years, I think that's going to hurt us."
"Well look, it's interesting in my six years in the House we've had a House and Senate that was Republican," replied Fredette last week. "We've had a House and Senate that was Democrat. We've had one scenario where we've had a Republican Senate and a Democratic House. We'd like to flip that quite frankly and put the House in the majority this time."

Blades > NW Series FB 7 Patterns
I am excited to be able to offer the NW Series blades to my customers. I have been fortunate to be able to work with two guys out of Tillamook, Oregon to put together some very well thought out and tested patterns. Tim Juarez of T& S Guide Service and Mike at Absolute Angling Products, both from Tillamook, were gracious enough to work with me on putting together some blade patterns that have performed well in NW waters.
Tim is very fond of the hex pattern blade, particularly in the FB style in size 7. That style and size is what you will find available in the NW Series for 2015. As of March 2105 there are 6 colors available. More patterns will be arriving throughout March and into April in anticipation for the spring salmon fishery. Ultimately, the full line of the NW Series will be available in stock going into the summer/fall salmon season.
Thank you to both Tim and Mike for helping me bring my customers some truly great patterns that are designed, tested and approved by guys that clearly know the NW fisheries intimately.

Big Sean Notches Second Straight Number One Album With 'I Decided'
Sean Don returned to successfully secure his second consecutive number one album, according to Billboard. I Decided, which was released on Feb 3, sold 151,000 equivalent units with 65,000 being actual album sales. This more than the initial projection of 140,000 by HDD. Keep in mind, he is yet to release physical copies of the G.O.O.D Music released project. Following her Super Bowl halftime performance, Lady Gaga's Joanne and Migos' Culture albums round out the Billboard 200 chart's top three.

In comparison to the Detroit native's last LP, Dark Sky Paradise is Sean's best selling album to date, with the 2015 project moving 173,000 units and 139,000 of those being traditional first week sales. Big Sean has been making major moves publicly with his album dropping as well, making an appearance to perform "Bounce Back" on Saturday Night Live last month (Jan. 21).
The grind doesn't stop for the Finally Famous artist, as the 28-year-old tweeted out a pic with Jay Z rocking the signature Roc-a-Fella chain he gave him from Sunday's Roc Nation brunch before the Grammy Awards.

The land of BFGoodrich's first motor sport successes BFGoodrich returns to Mexico -- the country that has provided the backdrop to some of its finest moments in motor sport -- as provisional leader of the 2006 FIA World Rally Championship. Indeed, last November saw BFGoodrich tyres collect their twentieth consecutive victory in North America's legendary off-road competition, the Baja 1000. This weekend, however, it's neither buggies nor pickups that BFGoodrich will be supplying on Maya soil but WRC machinery, and the tyre challenge will obviously be very different. Over the wide, technically demanding stages of the Leon region, the aim will be to optimise traction and to limit by how much the cars slide. As the first gravel round of the 2006 season, Rally
Mexico is eagerly awaited by WRC followers to see if a tendency emerges for the campaign ahead. Despite the two successes so far of Marcus Grönholm/Timo Rautiainen and their Ford Focus WRC/BFGoodrich, the Monte Carlo and Swedish Rallies were both so untypical of the rest of the calendar that it is difficult to read any sort of definitive pattern into their results. Rally Mexico, which is based in Leon and the mining town of Guanajuato, a UNESCO world heritage site, features high altitude stages (culminating at 2,737m) and wide tracks that permit spectacular power slides.
However, although welcomed by spectators, such
slides can cost valuable time?
"For Mexico, the drivers want tyres that give good traction with no variations in wheelspin even at high angles of steering lock," says Aimé Chatard, BFGoodrich's Rallies Programme Manager. "Maintaining the ideal speed enables them to control how much the car's rear slides by adjusting the amount of power being delivered to the wheels. That said, a car that slides, even progressively, is often a car that is not at its most effective, and therefore not at its quickest."
Drivers with an asphalt style who like near-racing lines want rear-end stability and therefore seek to restrict how much the rear slides to be able to re-accelerate early out of corners. BFGoodrich's tyres won over the drivers during testing by their ability to do just this.
SEEN BY SÉBASTIEN LOEB (Citroën/BFGoodrich)
"This is an event that has yet to go well for me. In 2004, I was leading when I damaged my sump after a heavy landing. Last year, a suspension mounting broke shortly after the start, although I succeeded in fighting back from 18th to 4th place overall. For this rally's wide stages, I want my tyres to be progressive, with good lateral bite, especially at the rear. This year, we will also have to manage tyre wear since not having active differentials promises to be more of a handicap on the loose. That said, our tests with the g-Force Gravel in Spain proved very encouraging."
QUOTA -- Manufacturer 1 and 2 entered drivers have a total quota of 60 tyres each, 35 of which may be used during the event (rally + shakedown). Just one type of pattern is authorised, compared with two last year. Tyres were nominated on January 17th.
PATTERN/CONSTRUCTION -- While the tread needs to be capable of cutting through the loose top-coating to enable the compound to heat up and provide grip, the construction must cope with the acceleration and braking forces to combat the centrifugal forces that tend to deviate the car from its line... HOT! -- At the end of the 73km loop, the temperature of the tread band surface could well reach 110°C.
TESTING OUTLAWED IN MEXICO -- With overseas testing prohibited, pre-event tests for Rally Mexico took place in Spain in January and February. It was difficult however to test products in identical conditions (different temperatures, type of surface, altitude, etc.). FINAL TESTS -- Marcus Grönholm drove his Ford Focus WRC06 on BFGoodrich's g-Force Gravel tyre on the loose for the first time in Spain on February 22- 23. The test base was reasonably similar to the Mexican stages, but temperatures only got up to 8°C! FORD/BFGOODRICH -- The last two Baja 1000s have been won by Troy Herbst's Smith Built Ford/BFGoodrich. The 2006 event (15-18 November) will be based in Ensenada.
ROUTE NOTE CREWS -- BFGoodrich will provide its partners with detailed and general descriptions of stage surfaces and conditions thanks to its own route note crew.

ADA and Website Accessibility Overview
The Americans with Disabilities Act via Title III requires that all "public accommodations" (retailers, doctors, malls, restaurants, hotels, and ski resorts) provide facilities and equipment that are readily accessible to, and usable by, people with disabilities. Through litigation, proponents have worked to extend access from the physical world to the web.
Lacking clear standards or compliance regulations, the Dept of Justice and others refer to the World Wide Web Consortium's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2. 0 (WCAG). The guidelines come in three degrees (A, AA, AAA). The commonly acceptable level of conformity is WCAG 2.0 AA.
Since this has not been a requirement for website developers, unless you specifically contracted for ADA "compliance" and have had your site audited, assume it will not pass. Achieving ADA compliance requires a concerted effort in the design and development process, and then once launched, it requires on-going vigilance as content is added and changed.
Following is a summary of what ADA & WCAG 2.0 compliance looks like, and then how to test and remediate your site to become ADA Friendly.
WCAG 2.0 Website Accessibility CONFORMITY
The standards break down to 4 basic principles: Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, Robust. The following overview includes limited examples for the sake of providing an "overview". Refer to the WCAG 2.0 for all details.
Perceivable - Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive.
This means that users must be able to perceive the information being presented (it can't be invisible to the senses).
- Provide text alternatives for non-text content (alt text for images is the most common violation).
- Provide captions and other alternatives for multimedia.
- Create content that can be presented in different ways, including by assistive technologies, without losing meaning.
- Make it easier for users to see and hear content.
Operable - User interface components and navigation must be operable.
This means that users must be able to operate the interface (the interface cannot require interaction that a user cannot perform)
- Make all functionality available from a keyboard.
- Give users enough time to read and use content.
- Do not use content that causes seizures.
- Help users navigate and find content.
Understandable - Information and the operation of user interface must be understandable.
This means that users must be able to understand the information as well as the operation of the user interface (the content or operation cannot be beyond their understanding)
- Make text readable and understandable.
- Make content appear and operate in predictable ways.
- Help users avoid and correct mistakes.
Robust - Content must be robust enough that it can be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies.
This means that users must be able to access the content as technologies advance (as technologies and user agents evolve, the content should remain accessible)
ADA WCAG 2.0 Web Accessibility TESTING
There are three steps to producing a thorough audit for website accessibility. Depending on budget and level of risk management, one may choose to use just one or all three.
- Automated Testing
This provides a litmus test and captures 20-25% of issues, but these will represent 60-70% of the volume of issues.
- Manual Code Review
Here someone with an understanding of both WCAG 2.0 and website code can catch all that is missed by automated testing. One simple tip that doesn't require a developer is to go through the website using just your keyboard. This will reveal dead ends and many issues that automated testing will miss.
- Assistive Technology Review
For those seeking the most thorough accessibility, the tester uses the actual tools (JAWS, ZOOM test, NVDA, Dragon Natural Speaking, etc) used by those with disabilities to use the website.
The key output of testing is the reporting that will guide remediation. This can only come from a qualified ADA/WCAG website consultant. Automated testing can tell you where the issue is, but not how to fix it.
Website Accessibility Remediation
To make your current site ADA-Friendly takes teamwork with either your current developer, or a developer with experience in both ADA conformity AND the CMS/platform that your current website is built on. For this reason, if you have a good relationship with your current development team, stick with them. With the help of your ADA consultant with audit reporting that includes line by line guidance for remediation, your team should be able to simply implement those recommendations.
It will take more than one generally to catch and remediate all issues.
After the initial remediation is complete, anyone updating the site will need to be trained to maintain conformity. Periodic audits (quarterly or bi-annual) is recommended.

Abstract : General purpose multiprocessors have largely failed to meet expectations for programmability and performance. We blame the lack of usable parallel programming languages and systems on the underlying processor architecture. Machines built out of conventional sequential processors simply do not support the synchronization demands of parallel execution, so the programmer focuses upon the dangerous and arduous task of discovering a minimum set of synchronization points without introducing nondeterminism. We argue that processors must be fundamentally changed to execute a parallel machine language, in which parallel activities are coordinated as efficiently as instructions are scheduled.

Peppa Pig is a charming animated show from England. A major hit both in its homeland and around the world, Peppa Pig is currently broadcast to preschoolers in an astounding 180 countries.
The show follows the day-to-day experiences of Peppa, her family, and her classmates. Although all the characters are animals, their trials and triumphs mirror what young children are going through in real life.
The show covers topics like making new friends, spending time with grandparents, and the importance of sharing. Peppa has lots of fun trying new things and learns important life lessons along the way.
Thanks to the show's enduring popularity, there are a wide range of Peppa Pig toys available. Plus, new ones are being released to retail stores and online shops all the time. Some popular Peppa Pig toy choices include:

soft and cuddly plush dolls of Peppa, as well as her friends and family members

A Lang 84 named Rosie...
Hey Ben and Jim,
Wanted to give you some feed back on how I am doing with my Lang 84 after a rocky start! I have also attached some pics as well.
From Clark McCrary: A pastor friend of mine!!! ( I named my Smoker, "ROSIE")
" A smoker named Rosie was smoking a pig, the jowls, the shoulders and butt. Along came preacher who wanted to teach'er the secrets of cooking and what...Said Rosie to the preacher, "I already know! And the details you tell me are moot...and further more preacher, this dear little creature is saying I don't give a toot!" THANKS CLARK!!!
SUSAN PARKER ZAVELL-" All I can say is this: I grew up in Texas, the great State of Smoked BBQ, and THIS was some of the BEST smoked BBQ I have EVER had... and I have had a lot to compare to! Thanks for bringing this to Florence, I got a little taste of home tonight!"
MARK PALMER - Doug, the ribs were "falling of the bone good!" Ashleigh, my
7 year old, said they were yummy. Nataleigh (3) kept saying, "dad can I have some more chicken." Great food as usual. It's been 2hrs since lunch and we are all still lickin' our fingers.
RANKIN MILLER - A great BIG thank you Doug from all the Sanders family.
The Butt and the chicken were a huge success for our Mother's Day lunch.
That chicken, even the white meat, was so tender and juicy and you already know how much we love the Butt! Great!!!
MARK PALMER - Doug, the barbeque you did for the Church at Sandhurst luncheon was unbelievable! You should have seen the line at that table.
Thanks for sharing your talent.
KELLEY REGAN - " Doug, your food was a huge success! Everybody seemed to enjoy all of it. I can tell you that the folks at my table kept commenting on your BBQ Red Gravy. Not a drop of it left when all was said and done!!!
Chicken was delicious, mac and cheese just right, cole slaw delicious, Baked beans, etc.... we topped off the night with your peach cobbler ...
By the way, you really should market your "Liquid Gold" and BBQ Red Gravy!
They were awesome!!! I'll be your PR Person!"
CELIA McLAUGHLIN URQUHART - I'm enjoying a doug's 'TOTALLY SMOKIN'
catering smoked BBQ sandwich on King's Hawaiian Bread for dinner tonight, while watching the GOP Gubernatorial Debate! Totally Awesome...Republicans and Doug's Totally Smokin' BBQ!
KYJA LEE - Hey there! Our friends are here from St Louis and Phoenix, big carniverous men and big foodies, we always eat well when we are together and they LOVED the BBQ, in fact, they were telling another friend about it the next day, the sauce was a huge hit, they have raved about it, i really could have used 3 pans. And! I had leftover icing from the previous cinnamon rolls and was reduced to buying refridgerator rolls and heated your icing up and poured on them - your next marketable product - icing, D-e-l-i-s-h!! That icing would be good on cornbread, pizza, anything!
Thanks again for feeding our crowd.

First off, I would like to say how much our group of 23 enjoyed our stay at the Riu Emerald Bay in Mazatlan.
On arrival, it was an easy check-in process for most. We had requested to have all our rooms together on the same floor, but some were not, but never seemed to be an issue for anyone, as much time as you spend in our rooms; it did not cause any issues.
Over the weekend, the resort was much busier than through the week and it was noticed that the staff cater more to their own native Mexican guests which they seem to stay more on the weekends. Through the week, the staff was very accommodating to all of us.
Throughout the week we enjoyed all three of the a la cartes, which were all great. The evening of our night at the steak house, I had left my camera case on a table outside the restaurant area. When I remembered that I left it, it of course of was gone. I spoke to both maître D's at the steak house and the buffet area, which both had told me that all lost items are to be turned in at the front desk. As I went to the front desk to get a new room key, the Maître D from the buffet and a security guard arrived with my camera case. With much relief, I showed my appreciation to him. Also, another couple from group had a beach game they had brought from home accidentally thrown in the garbage and the staff was good enough to search through and found the game and it was returned to the guests.
I just want to pass on kudos to 2 of the staff members who treated our group like they had known us for years... Hilda in the buffet - amazing lady!!! and Jorge in swim up and entertainment bar area - these 2 should be up for staff awards.....
We also took in eating down the beach at Mr. Lionis (orange building) - great seafood meals. Highly recommended to anyone. Very reasonable prices also - 2 for 1 drinks and the servings are huge, you may want to share. For a couple the cost was $37 USD which included 4 drinks and 2 seafood meals. They also have a zip line tour organized out of this restaurant - this is also highly recommended. For a reasonable price, part of our group took a day and we all enjoyed it, check it out. Cheaper than through the other tour companies.
RIU Management should be proud of this resort. We look forward to another vacation at another RIU All Inclusive Resort in our near future.

Neither is it the timely of wedding album that makes one drop shameless for enjoying squeeze having the status of cakes, bronzed, wine - or height junk fare. It doesn't be dogmatic that one requisite be vegetarian, or eat a raw food.

And it is widespread of liberal photographs to perfect example the newspaper in a way that makes you a minute ago desire to try squeeze out.
The setting down imminent by publisher Hay Room says: "Hateful and observant, this diverse, awe-inspiring and gorgeous wedding album option make a start your eyes to the beautiful fellow worker between fuel and friendly provocation.

The Spiritualist Cookbook begins by show how to progress supervisor meaningful of for example we eat, and likewise bumpily how our attitudes to compelled foods can be certain by psychological relatives.

Colours and textures are as important as toilet water and inclination, and can press on our moods as well as good for your health our bodies.

Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine
Research has shown that acupuncture, usually combined with Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine, can greatly increase fertility whether through natural conception or assisted by IVF and can improve the success rate of IVF by up to 60%. This is well borne out by the work done in Ming's busy clinic in Leith.
Traditional Chinese Medicine and IVF
A carefully structured programme of treatment optimises the chances of success. Clients are encouraged to prepare well for a possible pregnancy. Ideally this preparation should begin 3 months before the proposed IVF, although even 1 month can be beneficial. Weekly acupuncture sessions combined with Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicines can help to bring the body into an optimal condition for pregnancy.
Treatment is aimed at adjusting the menstrual cycle to improve regularity, stimulating ovulation, boosting not only circulation but increasing energy levels and adjusting the hormonal levels to put the body into a more balanced state. Another important element of the treatment is to reduce stress; this is often an important element within difficulties in conceiving.
During this preparatory period it can be useful to offer treatment to the male partner as well.
After the client starts to take the drugs prescribed by the IVF clinic, acupuncture continues on a weekly basis optimising the condition of the womb in preparation for hosting the embryo and helping to minimise the side effects of the drugs. Acupuncture is also given before and after the actual implantation. Once pregnancy has been confirmed, treatments continue, helping to maintain the desired hormonal balance as well as relieving symptoms of pregnancy such as morning sickness and fatigue. Throughout the treatment, advice is offered on nutrition, lifestyle etc.
Traditional Chinese Medicine and Natural Conception
TCM is also very effective in increasing the rates of natural conception for those couples that are not undergoing IVF. Indeed, many of Ming's clients have fallen pregnant whilst awaiting their IVF appointment! Diagnosis plays a strong part here, as it is important to establish, wherever possible, the cause of infertility. Often the effect of the treatment in important areas such as stress reduction or improved hormonal balance can result in a successful pregnancy. There may also be other factors such as underlying medical conditions, which will respond well to acupuncture, thus increasing the chances of conception.
How Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine Works
In Traditional Chinese Medicine a very particular diagnostic method is used which involves looking at the tongue, the taking of pulses and various health questions. All of these lead to a Chinese diagnosis and usually four conditions are to be found:
1- Yin and Yang disharmony (means imbalance)
2- Qi and blood deficiency (liver and kidney Yin deficiency)
3- Stagnate liver Qi and blood stasis (endometriosis, ovary cysts, mood swing, depression)
4- Kidney Yang deficiency (cold uterus)

Before I learned of Magda Gerber's respectful parenting approach I would have never thought to associate caregiving time (feeding, diapering, bathing etc) with quality time. Quality time, in my view, was time spent playing games with the children, having fun, going for icecream, running around with them at the park etc. It's true, that these things can be quality time if done mindfully but I now know that the type of quality time Magda spoke about, Wants Something Quality Time, far surpasses these other types of quality times spent with children for many reasons.
What I Noticed When I Stopped Looking at My Phone Whilst Breastfeeding
I stared at the dimmed screen of my phone, looking over my baby's tiny body. The red notification bubbles drew me in and I set to work accessing them all whilst she completed her job of breastfeeding. In the beginning, I was glued to my feeding chair for an hour at a time, many times a day. It seemed like the ideal time to catch up on my emails, messages, and Facebook notifications. Often, my baby's eyes were closed so I read whilst she fed – perfect!
Only, over time, I began realising that there was so much I was missing out on; so much SHE was missing out on. Although we had an intimately physical connection in those moments, mentally, we were out of sync. I was not supporting her as her caregiver. I was merely providing the food and inviting her to help herself. Continue reading
Learning to Love a Child's Meltdowns
She sobbed heaving sobs into my chest as I wrapped my arms around her. Her strong emotions spilled out as her tears soaked my shirt. I held her for the longest time; saying nothing, just listening and holding space for her to communicate to me her inner-most thoughts through her upset.
A thought flashed through my mind in that moment about how much I love it when my children have a meltdown. I didn't always but I have learned over the years that so much good can come from them if I am accepting of the feelings that surface and hear the messages in their screams.
Becoming a Respectful Parenting Partnership
I was recently in a discussion with a mother who wanted to help her husband understand and adopt a respectful approach to parenting as she had done. His parenting style and hers were in conflict and it was causing some tension in their relationship and confusion for the children. It's not the first time I've had this conversation with a parent and from reading through respectful parenting forums, I have seen that struggling with different parenting styles is an extremely common issue.
It got me thinking about how my husband and I work through our parenting differences whilst still ensuring our children are raised with respect. The move towards respectful parenting following Magda Gerber's Educaring approach wasn't an easy or smooth transition for either of us but we have definitely come a long way since bumbling through our early days of parenting.
RIE Parenting: It's all about Perspective
When I was first introduced to RIE parenting a little over four years ago, I was grateful to have specific advice for raising my then 18mo and 5mo with respect. I read as much as I could, copied out scripts to use in speaking with my children in certain situations and followed what I saw as "the rules" in order to give my children the wonderful, supportive childhood that most of us could only dream of.
The Rewards of Respectfully Parenting Sibling Rivalry
It recently occurred to me that with the number of posts I write about the rivalry between my children, it might be easy to conclude that the respectful parenting methods I have adopted to help manage their rivalry over the years have been completely ineffective, otherwise, why would they still rival?
8 Reasons to Look Forward to a Third Baby
I wasn't entirely sure how to make this announcement. I have been thinking, does anyone really care the third time around? But with a fairly serious scare on the eve of being on the right side of 'safe' this week, I realised that I care!!
I am not just adding a third child to our family. I view this child with the same reverence as I viewed my first and then my second just 13 months later. My excitement and anticipation is equal to what I felt when I discovered I was pregnant with my first. I wonder what gifts he (yes, I have boy vibes for this baby, but of course, will be happy either way) will bring to the world and I can't wait to watch him grow from birth, confident in his amazing capabilities.
Supporting a Child Through Rage
Rage is something many of us have experienced on more than one occasion. It is more than just anger, it normally comes from a feeling of gross injustice; a feeling that boils our blood and we literally feeling like inflicting pain on someone or something in order to satisfy that raw emotion that threatens to undermine our normally level-headed composure.
Children experience the same sense of rage that adults do. In fact, their emotional and social immaturity makes them even more susceptible to experiencing this strong emotion as they lose reasoning and logic in their interactions with others. They come from a self-centred view point and therefore genuinely feel great injustices on an almost daily basis.

I have to attend a wedding in the morning and the dress code is white and I'm going to wear this dress and probably these earrings (but mine are a little shorter and the color is royal blue). What do you guys think? What lipstick should I wear with those? I want to stand out with that very simple dress. Any other ideas? Thanks.
Most Helpful Guy
I would go for light make up shades like dress model in pic00|00|0
Thanks for MHG
Most Helpful Girl
1) dark red lipstick (crimson/burgandy)
2) a cluth purse that matches or has the same color scheme/combo as your earrings
3) Pumps/heels
in my opinion, white dresses are a no-no...
Simply because they're delicate in a way that they get STAINED easily...00|00|0
Oh and for your lipstick, make sure it's a matte color, because glossy lipstick tends to look "tacky" when you wear lots of accessories
Try this shade:
- Show AllShow Less
Yeah but that's the dresscode haha. I was thinking of wearing Limecrime Wicked but not sure if that will go well with my earrings
omg if you're sticking with the black earrings then yeahhh! :-) it'll look great with that shade!!!
