Divine Guidance/Path of the Soul Card: Rewards ~ Chenrizi Manifestation
Expand Messages
- When I think of a reward the deepest felt reward is being able to give, to share from a place of genuine compassion and love. It is embracing the fullness of life and the fruits of the life that we live. Yes welcome and embrace with joy and passion the fruits that we receive which enable us to give even more freely. That is apart of the abundance that we tap into which is an integral aspect of how open we are to ourselves in what flows between us. It is not in giving with the intent to 'get'; rather it is the reciprocity that flows between us and all things. When we change the world changes and as the world changes we change. It is within us to make those choices in how we wish to change and the rewards from that are immeasurable which are echoed with the Chenrizi Manifestation.I recall a commercial that aired over a year ago about where our focus is as people and this world. Too often we have seen how that the focus goes upon where there is a type of division. Instead focus on the good within each and every soul, within this world. That is not ignoring the other; rather it is our way of shifting the focus in how we deal with life within ourselves and around us. The more we find and rediscover the commonalities we all share we shall see how much more alike we are and those differences become that. Simply a difference. Some differences are beautiful examples of the diversity of life and the gifts we have. Other differences have gifts within them as we learn how to work together to resolve what may have been a conflict or point of contention in the past. We are not 'putting it aside'. We are transforming it. Together. For the highest benefit of all of us and that is a key toward the foundation of the New World we are co-creating and manifesting. It starts within us and radiates outward as we continue to grow and join together, hand to hand, heart to heart, soul to soul. We come and do come through each of us a diamond shining with his or her own unique radiance and light while reflecting the essence of Love within each of us, the world around us, the sky above and the Universe Within Us.We have not only reached that turning point. We are the turning point. Continue to hold to all that is true and pure in your heart and prepare ourselves to take off in new adventures and receive the joy, love and fullness of Life itself in all of our Divine Glory. :)'May we live in peace without weeping. May our joy outline the lives we touch without ceasing. And may our love fill the world, angel wings tenderly beating.'The Universal Heart Center

I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Invenios (Santa Barbara, CA) in January 2014.
I applied through the website for an Optical Engineer opening and was called in for an in person interview a few minutes after sending my resume. It was scheduled for a few days later with the CEO and VP of engineering. Upon going in for the interview only one of them showed up and spoke to me about the work going on, a few of the exciting projects in the pipeline, and then went on to explain that the position I was applying for had been filled, but that I could begin working as an entry level process engineer. The details of what the work would entail were not clarified and it was simply an open ended, "we can find a project for you". It was mentioned in the interview that they are expanding and hiring a lot of people, so much so that they didn't have any available seating because of the expansion. It was somewhat of a surprise that there was no real plan discussed regarding the process engineer position, and it sounded like they just needed more people to help out.
We then went around and took a tour of the office and lab areas. The engineers all sat in one open space in what resembled a computer lab, with each engineer only having a little bit of elbow space and a computer to work on. It was explained that it is company policy to promote an open and very "tight" working environment, and that I might even have to share a computer. According to them this was all ok, however, because the engineers spend all of their time in the lab, and little to none on a computer. Looking around, the environment seemed like it was very high pressure and stressful.
The lab area seemed exciting, a lot of different things going on, and a very productive yet busy culture. They described some of manufacturing operations, and the technology seemed indeed very cutting edge and unique. I found this to be by far the most intriguing part of the interview, and could tell that there was a lot of interesting work going on.
We then went back to the conference room and went over more of the culture of the workplace. It was explained that there is a lot of work expected, and many long hours in the lab and on the job. It is also expected that the lunches are kept short (something like 30 minutes). There was an anecdotal remark made that one should eat pizza with one hand, while working with the other. Additionally, there would be weekend work required because the engineer must ensure the equipment is always up and running for production. It was mentioned in the interview that when working during the weekend the time would be re-comped and allowed as time off in the future. However, when I later asked the HR manager if this is true they directly and quickly responded that it is absolutely not true at all and there is no company policy for this.
Next, the interviewer explained to me that the company also did not pay good salaries, and that I should think about whether or not I want to work there, and if I do, to simply talk to the HR.
I spoke to HR to inquire about the benefits, and received very short answers. When I asked about approximate employee contributions to the plans, they refused to give any numbers or ranges on what the cost of the plan is. Overall, the benefits were very poor, perhaps the worst I have ever encountered in my professional career. Lastly we discussed salary. I asked whether or not they at least make up the salaries for all the extra long hours and weekend work expected and found out that they do not, and that they offer at best average salaries. The discussion ended here, when I immediately decided this would not be the right place for me.
All in all I found them to be working on some very unique and exciting things that will not leave you bored. However, the work environment and culture seemed very high stress, with poor benefits, long hours, and low pay.

Part One
Chapter One
Peeta and I sit in my old house in the Seam, my head is leaned on his shoulder. I heard that a new family is moving in from the Capitol. They were assigned this District, and their father is going to be a miner. Tears are running down my face as I think about what they told us about the family. They have two daughters, exactly four years apart, just like Prim and I were. Their names are Tula and Holley Mackney. Tula is the oldest and Holley is the youngest, I feel so sorry for them, this will be Holley's first year in the Games, and the next Reaping is in a few days. Two to be exact. I get up and walk out of the house, and Peeta has hold of my hands.
"Peeta, I feel so sorry for these people. Escpecially Holley, it's her first year in the Games." I tell him and he nods. We walk back to Victor's Village and I walk over to my house. I just go in and sit down on the couch, and wait for a few hours. I don't sleep, I don't eat, I don't speak. I just feel sorry for the new family. They are supposed to be moved in by this afternoon. I wait for someone to come and calm me down. Peeta doesn't come, Greasy Sae doesn't come, no one does. After a while I fall asleep, and drift off into a world full of nothing but nightmares. First I see little Prim, only twelve at the time, getting reaped. In my dream I just stand there hopeless of doing anything. I wait for my dream self to do something but she remains still. Then I see her turn into little Holley, and she turns and looks at me. Then I remember, I can't really do anything, I'm nineteen. I couldn't volunteer, all I could do is stand there.
"Katniss, come on get up. You do want to go welcome the new family, don't you?" Peeta asks me in the morning and I nod. He takes my hand and I dress up in a little nicer clothes than my hunting clothes. We walk over to the Seam, and down to my old house. I'm about to knock on the door, but my hand freezes. Peeta catches it and knocks the door himself. A small little girl opens the door, she must only be a little over four feet tall. She is very pretty, her dark hair replicates mine, but her eyes are bright blue. An older girl steps out from behind her and I smile. She is about sixteen, and she has the same hair and eyes as her little sister.
"H-hello, I'm H-holley, and this is my s-sister, Tula." The little girl says shyly, and I smile.
"I'm Katniss, and this is Peeta, we're the victors of the District." I say and she smiles.
"I've heard of you, the star-crossed lovers from District Twelve." The older girl says and I laugh. How does she know who we are? Has she learned from her parents, or possibly from one of the locals of the Seam. I look over at Peeta and he smiles at me. "Well, Katniss, not that I can blame you." She says overlooking Peeta and I laugh. "Or should I call you Miss Everdeen?" She asks and I laugh.
"Katniss is okay." I say and she grins. She shakes my hand and pulls her little sister back inside. She must be very protective of her like I was with Prim. I wish she was still here. Peeta takes my hand in both of his and smiles at me. He leans in and kisses me and then walks me back to the Victor's Village.
"Holley'll be alright, Katniss. It's her first year." He calms me, and I nod. I hope she doesn't get reaped. If she dies in the Games I'll almost die, just like I would if Peeta would've died. He pulls me into a hug, and whispers a million different words in my ear. I can't catch them, though, I'm too worried. What if Holley did get reaped? What if we had to be mentors for her. I start to cry, and Peeta takes my face in his hands and presses his forehead against mine.
"What if we have to be mentors for her?" I ask and he remains silent for a minute.
"She reminds you of Prim, doesn't she?" He asks and I start to cry even harder. She does look like Prim did, except for her dark hair. Peeta uses his thumbs to wipe my tear away, and looks me in the eyes. "Holley won't get reaped, Katniss. If she does then you can blame me for jinxing it." He says and I laugh. Peeta isn't bad luck, but I did say the sane thing to Prim, and look what happened to her.
"Okay, but if she does get reaped then I'll blame the both of us." I say and he smiles. He kisses me, and let's me go. I stand up and look outside, it's night already. Then I realize how tired I am, and lay back down in the bed. Peeta lays down next to me and wraps his arms around me tightly. I doze off quickly, but briefly. I soon awake after having a nightmare about the reaping. Peeta takes my face in his hands and looks me in the eyes. I keep nodding, and hoping that Holley will be alright tomorrow, I'm listening to the words he's saying, but I can barely keep myself calm
"Katniss, it's in the middle of the night, I'll let you sleep for a while tomorrow, and then we'll get ready for the reaping, and you'll see Holley won't get reaped, okay?" He asks and I nod. I lay back with my head on his chest and his arms wrapped protectively around me. I don't have anymore nightmares after that, but the thoughts still haunt me. I wake up to feeling a slight pressure on my cheek. I open my eyes and see Peeta is already awake and ready for the reaping. He's let his hair loose, but he's wearing a white shirt and black slacks. I smile and sit up, and brush the hair off his forehead. He smiles and brushes my hair out with his fingers.
"So what time is it?" I ask him and he laughs.
"One-thirty. I laid out the white dress that was your mother's for you." He says and I smile. The dress where I pretended to be Lavinia. Where we fooled Delly. I get up and change into the dress. I braid my hair down in front of shoulders in two braids instead of one. Peeta laughs and twirls the edge of one around his finger. I look over at the clock. One-fifty.
"We better get going, it's almost time for the reaping, ten minutes." I say and he nods. I take his hand and we walk out the front door together. When we get to the Justice Building, we join the mayor in two of three chairs at the stage. I'm still gripping on Peeta's hand so tight I'm almost sure it's stopped the circulation. I release his hand and lay my head down on his shoulder. His arm goes around me and I watch Effie Trinket make her way on the stage.
"Welcome, welcome! The Seventy-seventh Hunger Games, and may the odds me ever in your favor!" She pipes in her stupid Capitol accent. She keeps smiling at everyone, and even though I know she is a friend, it disgusts me. "Now, we have a movie all the way from the Capitol!" They play the movie and I'm shaking my head the whole time. She mouths every word along with the film. When the final words are done, she makes her way back to the microphone. "I just love that! Ladies first!" She exclaims and walks over to the girls' reaping glass ball. She digs her hand in and pulls a single piece of paper out. She wobbles back over to the microphone and opens the paper. I can hear the name called so suddenly, and it's a stab in the stomach.
Tula Mackney.
Chapter Two
I look up at Peeta who cups a hand on my cheek. I drop my gaze and stare down at our entwined fingers. A tear comes down my cheek, and I start to pour out more as I watch Tula make her way to the stage. She looks back at her sister who is wordless, breathless even. And we'll be her mentors. Peeta and I will be her mentors. We'll have to keep her alive, we'll have to. We need to. Effie keeps smiling, and then she walks over to the boys' reaping ball. She plucks a name right off the top, and walks back over to the microphone. "Herran Reginald." She says and I nod at the name, he lives in the Seam, too. I can see the expression on Tula's face; she knows him. When we get back to the train, and they've already said goodbye to their family I pull Tula into a hug.
"I'm so sorry, Tula." I tell her, and she keeps crying, too. Peeta keeps trying to help us, but it's no use. We just keep crying. I release her and she walks back to Herram who keeps her locked in a hug. Peeta keeps me locked in one as well.
"Katniss, you'll be alright, she'll be alright." Peeta tells me but I won't stop crying, I can't. Tula is too much of a friend, and her sister, her poor little sister. Tula was probably everything she had.
"What if she dies, Peeta?" I ask him and he shrugs, I look up into his eyes and see nothing but pain. Then Effie comes and tells the tributes need to be taken to the remake center. Peeta and I are led off the train.

In honor of Adam Dunn, the BP Crew lists player acquisitions that backfired.
August 19, 2011 12:19 am
Over the course of the week, the outlook in the AL West has changed completely, leaving three teams to look toward what the future holds.
For the increasingly difficult-to-catch frontrunner atop the AL West, the future is already now. For the two teams firmly entrenched in the cellar, the future is tomorrow. And for the team caught in the middle, it's not entirely clear where the future is headed. In theory, the Angels and Rangers are still locked in a violent tussle for the right to claim divisional supremacy, but just as I found myself expecting a great race to the finish (not a wholly unreasonable expectation, given that the Angels were still sitting within two games of first place as recently as this past Saturday morning), something a little odd happened: Texas stopped losing, and Los Angeles stopped winning... altogether.
Since blowing up the Athletics in Oakland to the tune of a 23-8 scoring advantage over this past weekend, the Rangers collected three consecutive road victories against the Angels before falling to them last night, and vaulting their lead in the AL West to a whopping six games with just 37 games left to play. That definitely wasn't the turn I was expecting. I do expect the Angels to whittle down at least a small portion of that deficit over the next three weeks, as they get to contend with a far less daunting schedule than the Rangers (who must play 16 games in 17 days against the Red Sox, Angels, and Rays from Aug. 22-Sept. 7), but it's apparent that the post-season dream is rapidly slipping from the Angels' grasp.

Diamondbacks general manager Kevin Towers has a history of turning trash to treasure, even though all his shrewd moves don't always work out.

Taking a look at the most improved players of 2010.
In addition to post-season baseball, the month of October brings with it the first chance to reflect on the regular season that has just ended. For many fans whose favorite teams did not qualify for the postseason, such reflections can conjure up disappointing memories stemming from the previous offseason, or from a putrid stretch in the middle of the year that knocked them out of contention. For fans of the playoff teams, the reflections often form a mental highlight reel of the season. Regardless of personal team allegiances, I always find it fun to reflect on the season by looking at some of the surprise performances of the year. In this context, a surprise performance would belong to a player whose numbers were nowhere near as appealing a year ago.

Taking a look at disaster starts from many different angles.
Going into Monday evening's game against the Blue Jays, the Yankees had every reason to feel good about themselves, having come from behind the night before to secure a stirring 10-inning victory over the Red Sox. With one more win (or a Red Sox loss) they would clinch a spot in the playoffs. Alas, by the third inning Monday night, it was clear the Yankees would be uncorking no champagne, as starter A.J. Burnett dug them a 7-0 hole by allowing two homers, seven hits, and seven runs while retiring just seven hitters. Had the Yankees been at home, Burnett would have been booed off the mound by the Bronx faithful, but as this was a road game, Yankees fans were left to hurl rotten tomatoes and blue epithets at their TVs.

There are major differences between statistics, and it is important not to misuse them.
In this day and age, baseball players are defined by their statistical attributes much more than they were a few decades ago. That isn't to say that stats rule all by any means, but rather that teams are starting to be built with more of an eye toward numbers than in the past or at least with an eye toward numbers that provide more information. We have witnessed the defensive revolution. This past offseason, not only did the Red Sox make a conscious effort to bring aboard the darlings of fielding metrics—Mike Cameron, Marco Scutaro, and Adrian Beltre—but teams shied away from the likes of Jermaine Dye, who averaged 33 home runs and a .279/.347/.528 line over the last four seasons, because his overall contributions were not in line with his asking price. And last offseason, the glut of hard-hitting but poor-fielding corner outfielders suffered financially; it's hard to imagine players with skill sets similar to those of Adam Dunn and Bobby Abreu being offered so little even just a few years ago.

A deeper look into Cliff Lee's rate of strikeouts to walks and how it stands against other pitchers at this point of the season.
Well, last week was rather eventful, wasn't it? I woke up to the tune of approximately 14 text messages from friends and family asking for my opinion of a supposed Cliff Lee-to-the-Yankees deal, only to find out after responding that no such deal had been consummated. Then, as I drove home from work, regularly scheduled Philly sports talk radio programming interrupted its continuous "If Lee was on the Phils" drivel to inform the listening audience that the lefty du jour had been traded to the Texas Rangers by the Seattle Mariners. It was a foregone conclusion that Lee would be traded around this time, and his very impressive numbers to date only increased the desire for his services from a bevy of potential suitors. This marks the fourth team Lee has pitched for since last summer—I suppose that's what happens when a not-great pitcher signs a team-friendly deal and then becomes awesome—and while he doesn't make the Rangers favorites to vie for the American League championship by any stretch, he brings a unique command of the strike zone that certainly aids their chances of playing deep into October.
Lee's debut for the Rangers drew mixed reviews. On one hand, he pitched a complete game and continued to show the type of stuff that made his roster presence so important in the first place. On the other hand, he allowed six runs to the lowly Orioles. In the end, he didn't walk a batter and struck out two, increasing his seasonal totals to 91 strikeouts and 6 walks, a rather preposterous 15.17 K/BB ratio. I say preposterous because that mark resembles one we might see after a week or two of the season, when small samples drastically skew rate statistics. Seeing as it is the middle of July, even though Lee missed the first month of the season with a abdominal strain, he has pitched 112

David Ortiz, whose career seemed in an unstoppable downward spiral at this time a year ago, punctuates his return to prominence.
Some stat geeks and sabermetric fanatics usually pass-up the All-Star Home Run Derby, calling the event purely commercialized for the younger or more casual fans, not for the true fans that study the game! Well, now at 18, I'd like to think of myself as a "scholar of the game." I'm increasing my knowledge each and every day with Baseball Prospectus, as numerous research and analytical assignments ensures the expansion of my baseball mind.
However, I can happily admit that there was nothing wrong with enjoying Monday night's showcase of baseball's best power hitters (well, beside A-Rod, Pujols, and Ryan Howard….). Maybe, aside from bragging rights, it didn't count for anything, but what it did do was bring to light the competitive nature of a baseball player. Yes, it was just a derby, but it still meant something to each and every one of those participants. Especially for Boston Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz, who was pronounced as good as dead at the same time last year. Now, once again an All-Star, Big Papi put on a show at Angels Stadium in Anaheim.

How Jamie Moyer learned to stop worrying and love the bomb.
On May 6, Hall of Fame pitcher Robin Roberts passed away. Many nice things were said upon his shuffling off this mortal coil—staff leader of the 1950 "Whiz Kids," active in the formation of the players' union, all-around stand-up guy. But the most distinctive number attached to his 19-year big-league career was his 505 home runs allowed, the all-time record. Those dingers didn't stop Roberts from racking up 286 wins with a 3.41 ERA, a 113 ERA+, and 82.0 WARP, good enough to earn him a bronze plaque in Cooperstown in relatively short order.

The Game One showdown between star southpaws, and tonight's matchup features a recently phoaled Phillie.
In yesterday's chat, Bronx Banter's Alex Belth asked me, "Is there any particular pitching matchup that you are looking forward to in the series?" I responded that the matchup I was most looking forward to was between CC Sabathia and Ryan Howard, particularly given the prospect of the big man pitching three times for the Yankees in a seven-game series, and the slugger's less-than-sterling reputation against southpaws. "I think that matchup will tell us something about what's going to happen over the next four to seven games," I wrote.

Has Anyone Gotten Fast Enough To Make Petit Fours Profitable
Business By littlecake Updated 14 Sep 2010 , 12:49pm by mombabytiger
just curious....if you have, any tips?...i'm pretty fast at cakes, so many people want them...and no one around here makes them...
The trick is to place them in a rack above another pan and pour the icing over them straight from the mixing bowl. At home, I do 24 at a time but in a larger setting, I have used a donut glazing table. I can do up to 96 at a time. I worked at a small bakery in SC and that is how they do it. They sell hundreds a day!
I'd rather stick needles in my eyes than do petit fours! I have the worst luck with those suckers!

Quantitative Easing in 2009 - It Is Not About Deflation
Stock and bond markets have rallied following the Federal Reserve's announcement of quantitative easing (i.e., printing new money to buy government debt). However, following the failure of the UK Gilt auction on Wednesday, and the rhetoric from China regarding the US Dollar, it is clear that lenders, public and private, are pushing back on funding government deficits.
The push back on lending to governments is important because it shows that the demise of the credit bubble has now reached a climactic stage that will lead to the collapse of the Dollar. When the market stopped funding weak subprime lenders, such as Accredited Home Lenders and New Century Financial, both firms failed. When the market stopped providing funding to Countrywide and Bear Stearns, both would have failed if not for bigger firms taking them over. Unfortunately for the US Government, there is no entity left to bail it out. Clearly, when the market decides it no longer wants to finance a heavily levered borrower, the entity cannot survive.
While government programs have been created to save financial institutions, the financial system can function only if investors are willing to fund government deficits. However, the failed UK Gilt auction and the Federal Reserve's announcement of buying its own debt show that without quantitative easing there is not enough private capital at current interest rates for governments to stimulate the economy and fund bailout programs. As a result, the Federal Reserve is using the fear of deflation to gain public approval for quantitative easing. However, the actual driving force behind quantitative easing is to create artificial demand for Treasury bonds because without it the Government would lose access to funding and the financial system would collapse.
The idea that the US Government would not be able to fund its deficits without quantitative easing has huge implications for US financial institutions. It is obvious that almost every financial institution would have already filed for bankruptcy had the government not stepped in with further capital through TARP or by the FDIC guaranteeing debt issuances. With the US Government now facing pushback on its deficits, it is ironic that the financial stocks are leading the recent bear market rally.
When a private financial institution begins to have trouble funding its deficits, its problems almost always spiral out of control. It did not take long for modern-day bank runs to occur at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as well as at investment banks, commercial banks and mortgage originators, when funding problems became apparent. Funding problems are precisely what the US government is now facing. Similar to a run on a company's stock, when a country cannot fund its deficits a currency crisis ensues.
The quantitative easing programs in the United States and United Kingdom are not about preventing Japanese-style deflation. On the contrary, quantitative easing today is about helping to fund new debt issuances by an insolvent borrower. However, the bond purchases are only temporarily delaying our country's day of reckoning. Every entity that has come into contact with the unwinding credit bubble has been unable to survive. Now that various governments are showing signs of instability after getting involved with the unwinding credit bubble, it is clear that their actions will also prove fatal. The real crisis lies ahead.

Gruber is a government enriched arrogant progressive. The quote "average people" have throughout the history of man been subjected to the elite educated people like Gruber. They are tyrants or in his case a mini tyrant. If you relate his nature to the founding of America, he is the "Lord" commissioned by Kings.
The questions Cummings should be asking is a return of the money paid Gruber for designing a plan to intimidate Americans and lead to the destruction of the Democrat parties power both nationally and locally.
Cummings is more concerned with the identification of a scapegoat for the negative image of Obamacare. Democrats spin it and spin it as being an achievement. Obamacare is an ugly building blocking a great view of the future. Now its built people will have to hear forever from Democrats they built it. They worked so ever hard on designing it. But unfortunately it came out ugly and despicable. All Gruber did was admit that reality and take a big check from the government for his soft life.

Wyoming Liberty Group
by Anthony McConnell
The term "lobbying" conjures all kinds of images — backroom deals, large corporations spending millions to influence the legislative process and Washington fat cats lining their pockets, but what few realize it that one of the largest lobbying powers is the government itself.
Government on government or "taxpayer funded lobbying" is a growing and often overlooked aspect of lobbying, according to a recent study by the Pacific Research Institute, which ranked Wyoming at the bottom of the heap along with West Virginia and New Hampshire in lobbying disclosure laws. Wyoming earned this ranking mainly because of a law that exempts all government officials from having to disclose information about their lobbying practices and its "sparse requirement for disclosure" of all people lobbying the state government.
While private sector lobbyists must report their spending and register with the state, government officials, such as city council members, county commissioners, school board members, do not have to have to follow the same rules. This means there is a lack of accountability and transparency when it comes to tax dollars being used for lobbying.
This exemption is apparently not enough because several governmental entities employ professional lobbyists in addition to their members direct lobbying activities. Of the more than 350 lobbyists registered with the state more than 60 represent either governing bodies, government agencies or government funded groups such as, the Wyoming Association of Municipalities whose members include 99 incorporated towns and cities in the state, Wyoming Association of County Officials, Wyoming Association of Conservation Districts, Wyoming Association of School Administrators and the Wyoming Association of School Boards — all of which receive dues paid for by tax dollars.
For some this still isn't enough lobbying power. For example, the Town of Jackson Hole and the Jackson Hole Airport, a tax supported facility, both employ two professional lobbyists. Professional lobbyist fees range few thousand dollars to tens of thousands of dollars.
The study concluded that even in the states that ranked high on the list such as Connecticut and Indiana there is still a great deal of improvement needed in the level of transparency when it comes to taxpayer funded lobbying. States like Wyoming that have exemptions for lobbying government by officials need to revamp their laws to require government officials to register as lobbyists and disclose how much in tax dollars is being spent on lobbying efforts.
After all, the more transparent the government the more accountable it is to the people.

I'm starting to get tired of the same old jeans, sweater, and boots combo. Therefore, I decided to channel my inner prairie girl and change it up a bit. I couldn't resist this darling lace slip and dress by Free People paired with a FP sweater I've had since 8th grade! If you were wondering about the quality of Free People, here's your proof, my friends!
Let's talk about these boots! They are the most comfortable pair I own. Very lightweight and versatile. I also love them with fleece leggings or my skinny jeans. And I can't wait to pair them with fun shorts and spring dresses. I'll definitely be wearing these all year long!

I think he does a tremendous job of setting up other players. he causes turnovers, he gets pucks to where they need to go, and its up to the other players around him to put the pucks in the net. if youre playign with Boyle and Rupp or something, youre not going to get many points that way.
Regarding goal scoring. I think the jury is out, but im leaning towards semi agreeing with you, and semi disagreeing.
I think ideally he's suited for a 3rd line role if put with the right players, for example, if you could put together a trio of say Hagelin, Miller, and Callahan....3 guys who can play both sides of the puck, who can forecheck, etc. he could be extremely effective. put him with no thumb bums...and...well
the part i disagree though is that, i think Hagelin is the kinda guy you can put on a top line, and he wouldn't look out of place. Put him with a Richards and Gaborik, and he'll still be an effective player and compliment the 2 skilled guys by doing the dirty work. Kinda like the way Pascal Dupuis floats all over the lineup. He puts up so many points playing with Crosby, but they can also throw him out there on a 3rd or 4th line and he's still productive.
I think Hagelin can be our Dupuis...

Event Detail
Case-Studies of Structure–Function Mapping in Microbial Communities
Stefanie WIDDER (KLI)
Apr 20, 2017 | 16:30 - 18:00KLI
Organized by: KLI
Topic Description
Interacting microbes are capable of implementing complex functions such as resistant starch degradation in human guts, denitrification of water in wastewater treatment or ABx tolerance in disease-related biofilms.
To better understand and manage microbial functions we require understanding of the intrinsic and environmental factors that drive microbial community organization and shape collective, microbial functions. I will present my recent research on structure-function mapping performed on divers microbial communities from selected habitats. I will bridge between the predictability of environmental variation in river biofilms, the competition among functional guilds in the lung microbiome of persons with cystic fibrosis, the self-organisation of gut microbiota with heterogeneous memory capacity and the identification of predominant organization principles inferred from time-series data of microbial composition.
Bibliographical note:
Dr. Stefanie Widder is a computational biologist, currently a senior fellow at the KLI and affiliated with the Medical University of Vienna. She is working on the systems biology of complex communities, in particular microbial consortia and gene regulatory networks. Her research aims at predictive understanding of complex community functions that find application in human health and related fields (e.g. Widder et al. ISMEJ 2016).

Disco: well played, and very nicely done. The ribs look great. I have always been a dry rub, no foil, no sauce kind of guy. But I have been thinking about trying the foil method soon just for the experimental experience. I agree that there are way too many methods out there, but it's great to keep trying something new.
Thanks. I will definitely keep trying new things. It's the only way you get better.
First Time? Well good for you. I have tried both, and go nekkid now. Less mess and if done correctly better texture without much loss of moisture.
Next time you try this do the thicker end of the spare rib, and you can get them very juicy over around 6 hours.
Keep up the good Q and thread posting, I enjoy seeing both.
Thanks, Carlos. Getting the thicker end of the ribs here is a real problem. I live in the mountains and the local supermarket's selection isn't what you can get in the big smoke. You eat what you can get!

We apologize for the confusion.
I was able to see the issue you mentioned when I checked the embedded form on your website.
the issue is being caused by an outdated embedded form on the website. Since the embed code used was the full source code of the form, it needs to be updated every time there are updates/modification done on the actual form http://www.jotformpro.com/form/41895363226965
I suggest you re-embed the form http://www.jotformpro.com/form/41895363226965 on your website to be able to see the updated version of the form
I also recommend using its iframe code embed instead of the full source embed.

In his recently published book by Edward Klein, a former editor of New York Times magazine, some astounding facts about the First Lady of America, Michelle Obama and her private relationship have emerged.
The whistle blowing work has gone to the extent of claiming that Mrs. Obama was on the verge of breaking off her marriage to the now President of United States, Barack Obama in 2000. The author claims it was after Obama had decided to contest in elections against Bobby Rush, against the will of his wife.
The book states that his defeat left him in a state where he became extremely vulnerable, to the point of suicide. And in this state Michelle had little sympathy for him. The breakthrough in their relation came after Obama was able to win a Senate seat for the state of Illinois in 2005. Even with such ups and downs the couple has successfully completed their 21 years of marriage with two children, Malla and Sasha.
In addition to this the book has also made some disclosures regarding Oprah Winfrey and the disagreements she developed with Michelle. These differences later distanced her from the President.
The author Ed Klein also claims that former US president Bill Clinton wanted his wife and current Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton to challenge Mr. Obama on the Democratic Presidential ticket.
Edward Klein's The Amateur has set the tongues wagging. However, whether the information in the books is credible of not, remains questionable.

It's cool to read. And a cool place to go is your public library—hurry over to the stacks and check out some Book Buzz Picks. But bee-fore you do, take a look-see at Madison and Lauren's reviews. They did my June Picks proud. Until next month, Page On!
'Three Bears in a Boat,'
by David Soman.
Reviewed by Lauren Dickhut,
Our Lady of Lourdes School.
"Three Bears in a Boat" is about two brothers and a sister who are trying to sneak some honey from the fireplace mantle when they knock over and break their mom's blue seashell. They are afraid of what she will say so they go out on their boat to find another blue shell to replace it before she can find out.
"They meet lots of other bears in boats while they look, but they can't find another shell. They start fighting over who was to blame for breaking the shell, but then a big storm comes and they realize they love each other.
"This book has a good lesson for kids about being honest with your parents and not fighting with your siblings. The best part of the book was the pictures, especially the water. The beach pictures reminded me of my vacation to the beach."
'The Scraps Book,'
By Lois Elbert.
Reviewed by Madison Raymond,
Immaculate Conception School.
"I thought this book would be about a bird who finds scraps, but I was wrong. I think you will like this book. All I can say is that I love this book because I love art. I like how the author tells it from her point of view.
"I also like the other story she wrote, 'Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.' You should read that book too. I recommend 'The Scraps Book' to my mom because she makes scrapbooks. I would like to be this author."
'Half a Chance,'
By Cynthia Lord.
Reviewed by Newsbee.
Lucy Emery is determined to capture unique pictures for a photography scavenger contest in 'Half a Chance,' an engaging book by Cynthia Lord about a girl who moves to a lake house in New Hampshire with her family.
Relocating is lonely and Lucy seeks new friends; she finds a special one named Nate, a boy who makes her summer memorable.
Lucy comes by her skills with a camera naturally — her dad, a famous photographer encourages his daughter to take photos that tell a story. Plenty evolve as Lucy adjusts to her new home, as do perplexing questions. Does Nate like Lucy, or does he prefer cute Megan, who lives in a cottage nearby.
And what's up with Nate's grandmother? She's obsessed with the endangered loons on the lake. That's a worthy cause Lucy embraces, but sometimes the elderly woman acts vacant.
These questions and more are answered in a simple book that addresses a complex issue. 'Half a Chance' is a book that shoots straight for the heart.

Cold Weather Layering: Get the most out your Time outdoors
Cold Weather Layering: Get the most out your Time outdoors.
By:Chris Hodges
Rain....sleet....snow....cold, biting wind...these are but a few of the weather
conditions one will face when heading out the door in much of the Country. While most
have what they consider appropriate outwear for say, a dash to the store, things
change quickly when faced with the prospect of spending an extended period of time
outdoors in the Winter. This lesson was first drilled into my head by my Grandfather, an
old school USMC Gunnery Sergeant who spent more time outdoors than any human I
knew. Amazingly, some of his "old stand by's", clothing-wise, are still as relevant now as
it was 40 years ago. While materials and clothing change and improve with time, how
you choose and layer said clothing most certainly has not!
First and foremost, I must state here that, while some clothing types and materials are
just a shoo-in for wear, please do be aware that SOME materials are just not built to be
breathable, just wear or moisture proof. Materials such as nylon, polyester and canvas
(especially if theyre treated) can hold in moisture and sweat, making your jaunt a
miserable one. It certainly makes sense to step back and read up on whatever article of
clothing you are thinking about purchasing. It pays to pay attention to things such as:
materials, features and durability. One boon in this regard is the prevalence of the
ability on many websites to post a review of the clothing in question. Sometimes, this
can be a very valuable tool to help you make an informed buying decision. Just be
aware that sometimes, the reviewer in question could be throughly clueless as to what
their writing- the ability to "read between the lines" certainly comes in handy here!
Now, obviously, this Blog addresses Winter layering, but, many of the principles here
are relevant to other Seasons as well. So, where does one start??
The first thing I address on my body is my Core warmth. This is the area from your neck
down to your waist. There are a million different coats/jackets on the market that
literally appeal to just about EVERY outdoor activity under the sun. Therefore, I'm not
going into great detail about what to look for, jacket-wise, as this seems to be a very
individual decision. My best advice here is to try and find a jacket that has as many
features as possible, from drawstings along the bottom of the coat, to velcro closures
on the sleeves with as much waterproofing as you can afford (5,000MM would be my
lowest standard waterproofing number) with hopefully a Gore-Tex or similar breathable
membrane that stops moisture outside from coming in, but, allows your sweat to
evaporate during activity. There are MANY fine coat/jacket "systems" that include a
waterproof shell and a removable liner of some sort. Purchasing one of these systems
can be a fiscally responsible purchase, depending on what you are recieving with your
purchase. This brings us to an often queried clothing item- long underwear.
In this case, just like with jackets/coats, there are definitely many many options, but,
there are certainly better materials than others. For example, there are mid- and
Expedition- weight underwear- some are made out of polyester fleece, while others are
composed of Merino Wool. If you perused my prior Wool blog, you know I'm a BIG fan of
this material. Its insulation, breathability and resilience is hard to beat! Merino Wool is
also extremely soft on your skin, which cuts down on chafing. It also retains heat when
wet, so, if you manage to perspire too much, at least this material can assist in bringing
moisture away from your skin. And, depending on the outdoor temps and level of
activity, one could change your base layer to match. Materials such as silk and
polyester make great base layers when the temps arent too cold out and feel great next
to your skin. This is also relevant for your feet- wear sock liners with those wool socks
to keep your feet dry and comfortable!
This brings us onto our extremities.
Here is where people I honestly feel lean more towards the fashion-sense side of
clothing, rather than actually wearing appropriate material. For example, for TRULY
cold temps, mittens are the hand warmers of choice, rather than gloves. Why? Well,
think about the fact that ALL of your digits are in the mitten, right next to each other,
keeping your hands that much warmer. Obviously, when dexterity is needed, gloves
need to be used, unless you happen to locate "convertable" mittens that allow for BOTH
styles of wear with finger dexterity. Ditto for hats- goofy patterns and funky designs
seem to have taken over for good old design and con struction. DO: wear wool hats that
cover your ears completely DONT: buy cheap poly hat that will get wet and STAY wet!
There are many fine manufacturers out there who make hats and gloves with Gore-Tex,
wool, or really any other material out there. Just expect to "get what you pay for"- the
reason some products cost more than others has very little to do with Brand Name
cache' and more with what materials they are built with. And, obviously, DO YOUR
HOMEWORK! The internet is FULL of information out there on a whole host of clothing
items, and, its up to you, as an informed consumer, to do your due-diligence prior to
your purchase.
Bottom line with layering is this: Find the appropriate materials/clothing items that
match your activity level as well as the temps outside- read those online reviews....ask
friends what they wear....do some comparative shopping...then get out there and
enjoy some fresh air in your new gear!!
