Three schools in the San Diego Unified School District were among those singled out by the state this week. Here's how the district described the honor in a release:
The School of International Studies at the San Diego High Educational Complex is joined with charter schools Preuss School UCSD and the Albert Einstein Academy Middle School on the state education department's list of Distinguished Schools for 2011.
Schools are selected based on their academic performance and success in losing the achievement gap. The annual award alternates between elementary and middle/high schools.
"All of us in San Diego Unified salute these schools for their high achievements," said Superintendent Bill Kowba. "From the students to the teachers and staff to the principal -- a job well done."
In Sacramento, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson congratulated this year's honorees.
"Becoming a Distinguished School is a direct reflection of the dedication, hard work, and vision of each school¹s education community," said Torlakson. "They have succeeded despite a bleak economic environment and have endeavored to maintain their momentum and focus.²
• The School of International Studies at the San Diego High Educational Complex is one of the six small schools at the San Diego High Complex. Its focus is internationalism, which students explore in all courses. The school also offers International Baccalaureate classes along with the opportunity to attempt the IB diploma.
• The Preuss School, located on the University of California San Diego (UCSD) campus in La Jolla, California, is a charter middle and high school dedicated to providing a rigorous college prep education for motivated low-income students who will become the first in their families to graduate from college.
• Albert Einstein Academy Charter Middle School is an independent charter school that has a instructional focus of German, Spanish and English immersion within the context of a rigorous academic instructional model. It is an authorized International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program World School.
The applicants were also identified by their success in narrowing the achievement gap that exists between higher-performing and lower-performing students. All applicants underwent a stringent selection process conducted by the California Department of Education with the help of many educators from across the state.

" Brand: Tula / Style: Shoulder Bag "
I never used to carry a handbag when I was younger but then we never had mobile phones and my money was always kept in the pocket of my jeans when I went out. Nowadays I seem to have aquired lots of asessories and gadgets that follow me around and must be taken with me when ever I go out.
For these things I need a handbag and bought Tula Erin shoulder bag about three years ago with some birthday money my husband had given me and my daughter talked me into buying a handbag.
I bought the handbag from TK max and it cost me £55 which I thought was a lot of money for a shoulder bag when I had never been in the habit of taking one out with me before, but I soon found that it came in use for trips out and carrying all the essential things a woman needs with her everyday or for out on a journey.
This handbag is a shoulder bag which slips over the right or left shoulder whee your carrying it, I find that it is the right length of strap as I have tried to use my daughters shoulder bags which she has got fed up of, for some reason she has lots of them and constantly wants to palm them off on me, but I find that as I'm small in height some shoulder bags sit to low down or they slip off my shoulder when I'm carrying them.
This Tula shoulder bag sits just right, it feels comfy to carry and I'm used to slinging it over my shoulder and walking around with it.
The shoulder bag is made of soft leather and over the years I have tried to keep it in good condition by using leather conditioners and cleaners on it, bees wax is good and lightly shining it with leather cleaner or drying it when I've been out in the rain and then coming home has helped to keep it in good condition.
You can buy these leather cleaning and conditioners from the shoe shops or handbag shops in town. I have even used shoe polish on it when I have run out of leather conditioner but it did shine the bag up but the smell of the shoe polish lingered for ages and it darkened the leather for quite a while after so I wouldn't recommend this but the shoulder bag is still in good use.
If you do get the bag wet you can always dry it and pack it with newspaper to hold it's shape but don't put it near heat or on a radiator as this may crack the leather and damage the bag.
I find that if you dry it straight away with a cloth the condition of the leather stays good.
The bag has plenty of room for my everyday items and more. It has a lining inside that has a zip compartment for storing your purse or mobile but not enought room for both at once.
The colours of the bags can be bought in green, black and red but I got the black one as it goes with everything you wear. The size of the bag is 37w x 30½h x 8d and the top zips up nice and secure.
The stitching on the bag is heavy duty, mine is three years old and has been hammered, dropped flung and swung around and the stitching is fine.
This is a stylish fashionable handbag that any woman would be proud to own and it's long lasting so is worth every penny of it's price.
You can buy the Tula shoulder bag from online at £75 which is an average price from different sites but you may find them cheaper in TK Max at bootsales or outdoor markets. I love the handbag as it comes out with me everywhere I go, over the years it has had many more things added to the contents of it from mobile, kindle, pens, notes pad, diary to make-up bag, wet wipes and purse this holds all my essentials that I need to go to work with and on a long journey with.
I wouldn't be without it and am happy to recommend the bag to you.
A good handbag is worth it's weight in gold, if funds will allow then it is far better to invest in a decent leather handbag that is going to last for some time. I always seem to choose the classic styles that never date and in fact I have managed to pick up some very good bargains in the charity shops.
I have a couple of Radley handbags that I have been given as gifts but my favourite bag is a black leather Tula handbag that I found by stroke of luck in Help the Aged.
We were browsing in Help the aged in Belper when I spotted this good looking leather handbag, I went over to take a closer look and I realised that it was a bag that had the Tula label.
I examined it, as you do, and promptly put it back on the shelf because the asking price was ten pounds.
We walked out of the shop and down the street and something inside of me said `Don't be so silly, even at ten pounds that bag has to be the bargain of the century!`.
So I handed over my ten pounds and became the owner of a lovely soft black leather Tula shoulder bag.
This Tula handbag is what you would call a good everyday handbag, it is 27cms wide, 21cms high and 8 cms deep. The black leather is soft and supple and the bag is large enough to carry all of my everyday needs.
The lining inside of the handbag is plain black and there is a small pocket in the cloth for you to safely store your mobile phone. On the front of the Tula handbag there are a couple of slip pockets , then the trim is made of twisted leather.
The handbag has a classic shape that will never really date, many of the bags now have a scoop top but I prefer a straight top, I find that they are easier to carry.
The shoulder strap isn't very thick but it is comfortable and it sits well.
I looked on the John Lewis website and found that my Tula `bargain` had saved me £70, the RRP for a new Tula medium shoulder bag is £80.
I know that my bag is second hand but only I and a few thousand Dooyooer's know that and I intend to make it last for as many years as I can. So the soft leather needs to be well looked after, I have waterproofed the leather by using a Scotchguard water repellent spray which you can buy from the supermarket or the local shoe repairer.
They always say that when your leather handbag is not being used that you should `stuff` it with paper to make sure that it keeps in shape but I never seem to get around to that ! But it is better to stand the bag up when you are not using it, if you just sling it in the cupboard then the leather is likely to crease and those creases are very hard to get out.
Every couple of months clean the bag using a good quality leather cleaner and above all a soft cloth so that the fabric doesn't scratch the leather, Kiwi do a very good quality leather polish for about £4.
This may seem a lot of work to put into a second-hand Tula handbag but that work will pay dividends, over time the leather will weather and it will develop a patina as the grease from the air and your skin is transferred onto the surface of the soft leather and this patina is what gives handbags that `lived in ` look that is so desirable nowadays.
I am thrilled with my Tula handbag and I am sure it will be with me for years to come.
It comes with 2 slip pockets on the front, a twisted leather trim and an interior phone pocket.

Review for New Urban Arts, Providence, RI, USA
When I was a student at New Urban Arts I learned more about myself and the arts in a few weeks than I would have learned in a year elsewhere. The teaching methods had empowered me as a student to realize my potential. NUA had sparked my interest in poetry, photography, welding, ceramics, and many other art mediums. It had opened up a world of expression that as an inner-city youth I had no idea I could participate in.

Sparta's Last Stand.pdf
By the time Cleomenes III became king in 235 BC, Spartan power and prestige had been in steady decline for a century and a half. The state that had defied the Persians at Thermopylae and Plataea and humbled the Athenians in the Pelopponesian War was reduced to a minor player in Greek affairs. Sparta had never recovered from defeat by the Thebans at Leuktra in 371 BC. Much of its territory had been lost and its army, once feared and respected throughout the Eastern Mediterranean, was outdated and crippled by a chronic manpower shortage. Cleomenes sought to change all that and this book assesses his attempts to make Sparta into a force to be reckoned with once more. He combined revolutionary social reforms (egalitarian redistribution of land, thus enfranchising far greater numbers of men but also making them eligible for military service), with a revival of traditional Spartan discipline and martial values (reinstating the agoge system by which Spartan males trained as soldiers from the age of 7). Furthermore, a series of long-overdue military reforms saw the traditional hoplite phalanx surrendered in favour of Macedonian models. The revival of Sparta's martial vigour and territorial ambitions did not go unnoticed by her neighbours of course, leading to five years of warfare with the Achaean League and Macedon, culminating in the tactically-fascinating Battle of Sellasia (222 BC) which effectively ended Spartan power forever.
Alex Dimond has been studying Sparta for many years at Manchester University, first at undergraduate and Masters level and for the last 4 years working towards a PhD on the use of Mercenaries and the importance of Naval Power in the early Hellenistic Period. She is currently taking a sabbatical from these studies to take care of her first child. This is her first book. She lives in Plymouth.

After falling madly in love with images from this Edward Scissorhands inspired wedding on Rock 'n Roll Bride last week, I took the time to read the blog post.
The bride Karri's quote just totally touched my heart and when we're in the midst of all this wedding planning, sometimes it's a good reminder of why we celebrate the beauty of weddings. Here's her quote:
"Not all wedding days are perfect but It didn't even matter that my cake's fondant was imploding or that my hair literally actually weighed 10 lbs, or that my boobs almost fell out of my dress, I was marrying the man I loved. And this man will always be the Edward to my Bella, the Harry to my Ginny and the Ian to my Karri."
Check out the blog post on Karri and Ian's wedding on Rock 'n Roll Bride for those images you won't want to miss!

Obama urges 'better path' on energy - Is climate change back on the trail? - Comparing Romney, Obama speeches - W.H., industry officials meet on oil, SPR - Final Charlotte trivia
With help from Erica Martinson, Andrew Restuccia and Darren Goode
OBAMA URGES 'BETTER PATH' ON ENERGY: Clean energy, tighter fuel economy standards, reduced oil imports and record-high natural gas production got starring roles in President Barack Obama's acceptance speech Thursday night. His words are sure to fuel debate over who deserves credit for some of the accomplishments he spoke about, but others are solidly part of the Obama agenda.
Story Continued Below
FOR EXAMPLE: Drilling, particularly on federal lands. "We've opened millions of new acres for oil and gas exploration in the last three years, and we'll open more," the president said. While domestic oil production is at its highest level in more than a decade and natural gas production is at an all-time high, industry and GOP critics say it's in spite of Obama's policies. Your morning host has more: http://politico.pro/P0PMJT
OBAMA ALSO ADDRESSED CLIMATE CHANGE, saying it's no laughing matter while simultaneously taking a shot at Mitt Romney and scoring points with his liberal base. "And yes, my plan will continue to reduce the carbon pollution that is heating our planet — because climate change is not a hoax. More droughts and floods and wildfires are not a joke," Obama said to a standing ovation. Andrew Restuccia has more from the Queen City: http://politico.pro/P0I5Dq
IS CLIMATE CHANGE BACK on the campaign trail? Both candidates have largely shied away from it so far, despite Obama's promise earlier this year to make climate change an issue. But with Romney's high-profile jab at Obama's global warming rhetoric last week and a full-throated defense of the science by Obama last night (not to mention backup vocals provided Thursday by Sen. John Kerry and Rep. Barney Frank), climate change is back on the table, at least for now. Whether it can hold its luster until November remains to be seen.
READING BETWEEN THE LINES: Josh Gerstein and Darren Samuelsohn write about what Obama said vs. what he meant last night, including on climate: "The president's campaign senses an opening here with independents and also a way to excite young voters by talking about global warming. And Obama's got a real contrast with Romney, who has gone from cap-and-trade backer to a skeptic on the science more in line with tea party conservatives." More: http://politi.co/QiT9JZ
HOW THEY COMPARE: With whole paragraphs dedicated to energy issues, Obama had more words in his speech on the subject than Romney did last week — but much to the chagrin of wonks and energy reporters, neither went into much detail on specific policies they would enact over the next four years. Romney hit on campaign trail favorites, criticizing the president for an "assault on coal and gas and oil" and promoting his plan for North American energy independence by 2020. Obama had plenty to say about achievements under his watch but kept his second term pledges largely to a continuance of his past policies.
Of course, convention acceptance speeches aren't detail-filled proposals like a State of the Union address. Nonetheless, both candidates managed to signal to voters that they aren't letting energy issues fall off the back of the truck this November — particularly Obama, who worked to sooth environmentalists' nerves by hinting that a second term could involve a big step toward dealing with climate change while mentioning only popular initiatives such as fuel economy standards and energy-efficient homes.
— "No speech can hide the hard facts," the Republican National Committee blasted out in a memo, noting that "gas prices have doubled" and promising Romney will "achieve North American energy independence by taking full advantage of our oil and coal and gas and nuclear and renewables."
— "By reaffirming his commitment to tackling global warming, the president demonstrated that he intends to build on the historic steps his administration has already taken to cut dangerous carbon emissions, for the sake of our environment, our health and our families' future," said Nathan Willcox, director of Environment America's Global Warming Program. "President Obama has demonstrated real results in his first term. His speech tonight clearly shows that he is the right choice for our environment and our health going forward."
— "We are pleased to see the president acknowledge the economic and employment potential of robust and responsible domestic natural gas development," America's Natural Gas Alliance spokesman Dan Whitten said. "It is an encouraging sign for our nation's economic, environmental and energy security interests that leaders of both parties are embracing the vast potential of our country's abundance of natural gas. Natural gas stands ready to serve."
— "In the face of relentless attacks from dirty energy billionaires, President Obama has led the way for America to become the global leader in clean energy investment," Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune said. "Wind installations have doubled and solar has grown by a factor of five, putting hundreds of thousands of Americans at work in clean energy jobs. That is progress to be proud of and momentum that can only be seized if President Obama is reelected."
THE CROWD-OMETER: Energy wasn't always a crowd-pleaser at the festivities. At one point in the night, Democrats showed a video listing some of Obama's signature achievements. Many of them, like health care reform and ending "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," were met with thunderous applause. But an item touting Obama's plans to beef-up vehicle fuel efficiency standards received only muted applause from the crowd.
OTHER SPEAKERS touching on energy issues last night:
Vice President Joe Biden said Obama sees "a future where we depend more on clean energy from home and less on oil from abroad" — the only reference to energy issues in his acceptance speech.
Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer said the energy sector has turned around under Obama. "Energy production is up. Imports from foreign countries are down. The number of rigs drilling for oil in the United States has more than quadrupled," Schweitzer said, adding: "Manufacturing jobs are coming back, and not just because we're producing a record amount of natural gas that's lowering electricity prices, but because we have the best-trained, hardest-working labor force in the history of the world."
Former Florida Gov. Charlie Crist may not "agree with President Obama about everything," the Republican-turned-Independent told the Democratic National Convention — but he said he is thrilled with how Obama handled the 2010 BP oil spill. "Florida and the Gulf Coast faced the worst environmental disaster in our nation's history, this time when a ruptured well spilled nearly 5 million barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. President Obama came to our rescue again, leading a massive cleanup effort and demanding accountability from those responsible," Crist said. "My friends, he didn't see a red state. He didn't see a blue state. He simply saw Americans who needed help. And once again, once again I saw the leader our country needs."

NO LOVE FOR THE GREAT WHITE NORTH: That's the gist of columnist Claudia Cattaneo's piece in the Financial Post. "Heads up: If reelected in the Nov. 6 vote, Barack Obama will keep Canada guessing about the fate of the controversial project, despite approving the southern leg earlier this year, continuing efforts by proponent TransCanada Corp. to improve the more controversial northern leg, and by Ottawa to lobby for its approval."

TODAY IN OBAMA: Obama, Biden and their wives leave Charlotte this morning for a whirlwind tour of the eastern U.S., with stops in Portsmouth, N.H., Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and St. Petersburg, Fla. That last one is the president only; the vice president is instead going to Columbus, Ohio.
TODAY IN ROMNEY: After spending much of the week out of the public eye, Romney will campaign in Orange City, Iowa, and Nashua, N.H., today. Ann Romney holds a "Women for Mitt" rally in Leesburg, Va., and Paul Ryan is in Sparks, Nev.
CHARLOTTE TRIVIA: Congratulations to Matthew Deal of Exelon for guessing first the Panthers' only retired number, 51, belonged to Sam Mills, linebacker and later coach. Another fun fact: Mills holds the NFL record for oldest player to return a fumble to a touchdown — 37 years, 174 days.

REPORT: W.H., INDUSTRY MEETS ON OIL, SPR: Reuters reports on a Thursday meeting between White House officials and oil market experts. "The meeting … did not center entirely on the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), according to non-government sources who attended the meeting. Government officials did not reveal any plans they may be making to tap the SPR, but they did voice concern about tightening U.S. fuel supply and sounded out the experts on how energy prices could behave in the coming few months under different scenarios, sources said." Reuters: http://reut.rs/Q856DJ
EPA SLAMS INDUSTRY GHG PETITION: Industry "has filed a fanciful motion asking that the court summarily reverse EPA's proposed new source performance standards for greenhouse gas emissions" from power plants, EPA said in a brief filed with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit on Thursday. The agency said the Utility Air Regulatory Group "cites not a single applicable precedent to support this extraordinary request," and even if the court did consider the motion, "UARG has not met, and could not possibly meet, its high burden of showing that its challenges to the Proposed Rule are so clear-cut and plainly meritorious that the court need not bother with briefing and argument." EPA asked the court to toss the motion in the case over its proposed carbon dioxide limits for new power plants. The brief: http://politico.pro/RHrWoP
COAL PRODUCTION DOWN, GAS UP, EIA SAYS: U.S. coal production this year to date is down 5.4 percent from last year at the same period, the Energy Information Administration reported ( http://1.usa.gov/Nhu0SO) Thursday. Working natural gas in underground storage is up 13.1 percent this year compared to last, EIA said: http://1.usa.gov/92I0bb
ICYMI: "Was Luminant Bluffing Texas When It Threatened Power Plant Shutdowns Over EPA Regs?" the Dallas Observer asked this week: http://bit.ly/Q2pk65. Texas power company Luminant Generation Co. said last year that EPA's Cross-State Air Pollution Rule would force the company to idle two coal plant units and consequently cut 500 jobs. A federal court threw out the cross-state rule in August. But on Friday, Luminant told the Electric Reliability Council of Texas that it would idle the two units during the winter anyway. No layoffs are expected because of plans to use the units during peak spring and summer demand and continued mining operations, Koenig said, adding "this is 100 percent about low wholesale power prices and has zero to do with CSAPR." Luminant's crib sheet on their new plans: http://politico.pro/Q2YWqU

Drink a ton of water, eat clean, train hard and do about 3-4 sessions of cardio per week. You'll be a different person come the new year

One of our sharp-eyed readers managed to snap a few photos of something peculiar while on his way home from work — a European-market Fiat Doblo van wearing Michigan manufacturer plates.
Given the tie-up between Chrysler and Fiat, seeing the Doblo on U.S. roads isn'tthat strange; especially since there's a chance this exact van may eventually be sold through Chrysler's U.S. dealer network. Rumors have long swirled that the Doblo could join the Ram Trucks portfolio, providing the company with a light commercial van that can battle Ford's Transit Connect here in North America.
European-spec Doblos are offered with the choice of five engines paired to either a five- or six-speed manual transmission. Diesel options range from a 90-hp, 1.3-liter, turbocharged inline-four cylinder to a 135-hp, 2.0-liter turbodieselI-4. The two gasoline-powered options use a 1.4-liter, naturally aspirated inline-four good for 95 hp (120 hp when powered by CNG). If the Doblo crosses the pond, a gas offering may be the only engine choice — but we think Fiat may have to upsize what's found underhood in order to appease power-hungry American buyers.
Fiat has not officially said that we will see the Doblo on our shores, but if Chrysler's five-year plan from November 2009 is any indication, the Doblo would fill the logical spot of a small commercial van produced by and imported from the Fiat Group and slated to be released in 2012. If the Doblo does indeed come to the states, it would slot in beneath the recently introduced Ram C/V Cargo Van (based off the Dodge Grand Caravan) in Ram's commercial lineup.
What do you think? Should Fiat bring the Doblo here for sale as a Ram? Sound off in the comments section below.

Stockholm will host the LGBT sporting event EuroGames in 2015, the European Gay & Lesbian Sport Federation (EGLSF) announced Tuesday. The event, expected to draw more than 200,000 visitors to the city, is one of the largest LGBT events held in the world.
With 5,000 participants, the EuroGames will be held the week of August 5, 2015, and is open to anyone wishing to participate, regardless of age, gender, or sexual orientation. In addition to the sporting competition, the 2015 event will feature exhibitions, activities, and attractions including a film festival. There will also be a political program run congruently with the games featuring a conference with seminars, workshops, and lectures.
EuroGames was originally founded in 1992 by EGLSF to encourage integration, and fight discrimination within sports. Today, the competition is held about three times per decade, having formerly been hosted in Barcelona, Paris, London, and Antwerp. The initiative to host the 2015 competition is part of the City of Stockholm's strategy to market Stockholm to LGBT people internationally.
"Stockholm is known worldwide as an open, welcoming destination. The EuroGames Stockholm event is completely consistent with Stockholm's aim to be one of Europe's leading event cities. We are happy and proud to be able to support EuroGames Stockholm, says Regina Kevius, Stockholm's Sports Commissioner.
Jakob Jansson, Chairperson of EuroGames Stockholm, also spoke about the importance of the competition in light of the frightening LGBT civil rights developments currently taking place in Russia and other parts of the world. "Nationally," he said, "we have the chance to open up to questions about queer and transgender athletics and to fight the tragic statistics showing that a major portion of LGBTQ youth quit playing organized sports."

CU lost to The University of Washington 38-3. The Buffs were down 7-0 after the first half, and the defense was looking strong. The Huskies turned it on in the second half though outscoring the Buffs 31–3. The Buffs turned the ball over five times contributing to their rout. The defense played good most of the game but they couldn't stop the Huskies on short fields multiple times.

Yeah, we vanished for a little while there. Sorry about that. We once again got sidelined by the renovation. Lately we've been working on the house in the evenings, which leaves us little time for updating the site. We're going to be back at it this week though.
To give an idea of what we're up against, above is a shot of Tool Snob HQ (the part you can actually walk through...the other half is actually much worse)...it's pretty brutal. Clean up time has been reduced as well...I think I see Jimmy Hoffa behind the welder.

I agree with Joe. It seems like the last 2% is the toughest! Push on Bro!
Put that same door in our house (looks the same from here anyway). It looks really nice once finished. Therma-tru with a Simpson slab?
Knocking out the punch list is the hardest part for me too. That's when my motivation seems to be lowest.
That's actually a great idea. Market yourself as a 'closer'. You could go around installing basecap, adjusting lockets, paint touchups, that sort of thing. That last 10% always seems impossible for me. But in my current situation, I'm only half way there. The interior work is about 70% done and the addition isn't even started...going to be a long summer...
JW - Electricity indeed! Finally a sub-panel. No more trips to the basement for blown breakers!
hang in there Doug, when spaces get that confined moving things around becomes a game of Tetris. The uninitiated have no idea how draining a huge project can be.
I completely agree with Joe, sometimes I wish they had closers for projects, I get the ball on the goal line and have a hard time pushing it in the endzone.
Good to see you finally got electricity in the shop!
It's that last push toward the end that is the hardest. Keep up the good work, and I can't wait to see some more photos from the project.

As I've mentioned before, I feel bad for grooms and groomsmen. Weddings are overwhelmingly geared towards women: women get the shower, women get the fancy outfit, the flowers, the pampering. I'm always trying to find new ways to make wedding planning and weddings more fun for men. It's not as easy as it sounds. Feel free to chime in with comments and pass on your ideas (to be featured, with credit, in a subsequent post)!
Do the Rehereasal Dinner His Way
Celebrate early with your closest friends and family, and make it extra special for your groom by doing it the way he wants. Has he been dying to have all of his loved ones out on a picnic? A barbeque at the beach? A sporting event?* Go with it: there are few rules for the rehearsal dinner, and it doesn't have to relate to the wedding in formality or venue. Serve his favorite foods and beverages, and watch for the extra big smiles and hugs you get for being such a stellar bride!
*depending on how late the event goes, a little creativity could be needed here. Perhaps a morning or afternoon rehearsal, followed by an evening baseball or basketball game.
A Really Fun Wedding Gift
In the traditional American wedding, it is customary for the bride and groom to give one another small wedding gifts. Typical examples include special, highly personal books (a friend of mine once gave her fiance a signed, first edition copy of This Boy's Life), jewelry (cufflinks, earrings), and so on.
I'm sure any man can appreciate a set of nice, possibly quirky cufflinks, but how many of them actually have French cuff shirts with which to wear them? And how many occasions a year, at that?
I much prefer the idea of splurging on something you know he really wants. Maybe the TV he's been eyeing for months, or the rims for his
other true love car. Maybe a new smartphone, or tablet preloaded with his favorite periodicals, books, and games.
I guarantee, he'll be that much more jazzed to meet you at the altar when he knows that you 1) know him well enough to know what he really likes, and 2) spoil him a little bit.
Document His Prep Time
See if there's a little room in your schedule to let the photographer head over to the men's suite before the ceremony. There is some serious bonding and mental prep going on in there, just like in the women's suite. Having photos and documenting his side of the prep is a nice way to emphasize that this wedding is about the couple, not just the bride.
If your photographer works with an assistant, this is usually standard. If your photographer is solo, see if you can wiggle your schedule around so that while the early stages of your hair and make-up prep is underway, he can quickly go snap some shots of the men.
Prank Him!
I know, I know…you want the day to be perfect. You don't want any jokes about the bride dragging her man to the chapel, or anything like that. But, little pranks can be a lot of fun and create special moments for the groom.
Rent an extra tux that is two or three sizes too small and sneak it to one of groomsmen (or just give them the idea and let them plan it). Set the clocks in the hotel a few hours forward – again, make sure the groomsmen are aware! Write "help me" on the bottoms of his shoes (only if he owns them). A little levity goes a long way in quelling the jitters, and will be something funny to look back on.
Don't worry so much about the day being perfec. In the end…he's there with you, accepting your ring.
Please, let me know how you made your groom feel extra special and excited! Leave a comment 🙂

I prayed today for the elderly
They long to hear for you to say
Words of love and words of praise
With acts of kindness they once gave.
And if you're going by their way
They'd like for you to stop and pay
A visit where you both can play
Disregard what you may.
Before their heads they shall lay
At night before the sun and it's ray
When they bow their heads as they pray
Praying you and everyone will be okay.

on this special day
I doest say
that thy mother is of graceful sort
it hath been said she is devine
and I do holdeth this to be true
now dearest mother may I be so bold
to tell you the sun still shinest on one so old
as true as this be
you still grasp your faith
like the roots of a tree
tis said you are wise
and this I have found true
the eye doeth grow deceived when it is drawn upon you
as your thoughts become known
only then your age is shown

Please allow me to introduce myself. Many know me presently as well as in years gone by as one who is both kind and strong. Some of course even dislike me, and view me as an overbearing authoritarian wishing to impose my will upon the world. Some deem me a hypocrite, because I have demonstrated some inconsistencies through my tenure in this world. Anyway, there are times which everyone needs to express themselves and share their own take of themselves. Beyond that, I guess historians will just have to do the rest.
I was born on July 4, 1776, and I am 239 years of age. I am very young in comparison to many of my kind who are much older than me. However, few have been blessed to achieve and accomplish as much as I have in these years of growth and triumph. I have grown much larger and there have been major changes for the better. There have been parts of me that did not want to change. This created such discord that nearly tore me apart. Through it all, I have survived to become very strong.
I and others of goodwill tried to build a world of peace and tranquility after the walls fell in Germany. For a while it appeared that we were creating a brave new world, until the twin towers fell in New York City. We now have a new world that's vastly different from the world prior to 2001.
I am still fighting terrorists and perhaps will always be at war with them. I am more that 300 million strong and have a formidable military. In spite of my power, it feels like I'm getting weaker. But I'm fighting bravely to hold on to my convictions and live up to my responsibilities.
In the last few decades it appears that I am being called upon again to change course and become one with the world. These changes are not only political and social, but they spread a huge tent that radically alters and revolutionizes both culture and religion. Therein lies a problem, because I was born to be different.
I was born different with a completely different purpose. My purpose cannot be fully implemented and realized apart from my continued reliance upon the constitution of the United States and adherence to my biblical world view, which gave birth to me. I know that I am not perfect, and I also know that I am a miracle in progress. My name is the United States of America, and may God always bless and shed His grace upon me.

It came to me one night, a dream
An idea, a thought, a better way
Is this all there is, this life I have
To wake and live another day
Exist just like a cloud, or shrub
To eat and sleep, work and play
Go here and there, do this, do that
Wait for Friday, bills to pay
The hairs are counted on our heads
Our bones will see decay
But the spirit will live on
Past when we're old and grey
A plan, a purpose, his promises pure
I trust his word and pray
I know that my Redeemer lives
The truth, the life, the way

Surviving this World that has so much wrong,
It makes me wonder if I've changed,
I know I'm just a pilgrim passing through,
I would get to know Jesus if I were you,
We live in a dread full and shameless society,
Run by political fools and even though, not so quietly,
God has left instructions for all to follow,
Yes, even the preached word sometimes seems hollow,
It seems like even the spoken words are like grains of sand,
As soon as it's spoken it seems to slip right through your hands,
The People are lost and that is true, who will find them,
Because the hands of leadership is run by the foolish,
Wake up People for our LIFE is short and time is running out,
Just look around you and you'll see there is no doubt.
I know salvation is a choice and up to you,
Look at the joy, loving, understanding that Jesus brings,
Snuggled in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ,
He asks you to come… for He knows you need Him,
Because of his love He died for us,
And you should know you can trust in Him as He trust in us,
So how will you survive, in a world that has so much wrong?
The answer is acknowledging Jesus, repent and be baptized,
The choice is easy to follow the guide He has provided,
It is said that true prayer changes everything,
It is what we need in a world of sin,
Jesus did not teach us there would not be any storms,
Yes, He promised safe passage for us,
Since the day we're born,
Watch yourself as the devil will always come back,
He hates losing the fight and that is a fact,
And now you know to read the Bible, follow His example,
Don't turn around… because I'm talking to you,
Get right my world family before it's too late,
Now you know how to survive, in a world that has so much wrong,
Jesus gave this advice for all to be with Him,
To help us survive in this world has so much wrong,
Jesus knows we have that sin in us,
Yes, He still loved us enough to give His LIFE for us,
So People wake up and follow Jesus,
And help save a someone before you leave this LIFE,
Because we know this earth is not really our home,
We are just passing through and one day we'll be gone,
The Bible says, "One is taken and one is left behind",
My Brothers and Sisters, let us put on God's armor,
Now prepare to fight the good fight for all People of all Nations,
Jesus side by side with us, AMEN!!

Who's that staring through my window walls, with eyes as old as time
the clock has not yet moved and the wind outside has died
no breath for me to find nor the strength to check the time
unless the minute hand is lying theirs a chance i may have died
I wish this all a dream but the eyes i see dont lie, they have told me with their watching that all men do really cry
yet in vain is all my wishing but perhaps this is delusion of a sedimentary man with his mind ripe for losing
Come at me then red devil, I shout within my mind yet the tension I had hoped for was delayed and rather dry
no ravishingly velvet flame encircled this such room, nor were the furniture and ottoman thrown like an old shoe
marvelous the time in which a demon throwns your home and his only one intent is to stare right through your soul
to that i bid goodnight to you, to do as you wish, regardless of the manner I am nothing more then fish. to be shot out of a barrel for a fellow such as this
If you do deem it fit that I wake another morning all i ask is that the clocks all please return to working order

Quite frankly, I don't remember at all
You see I was quite young when I took my first fall.
Don't know which parent was there to catch me
Or how hard the decision was to stand back and let me.
Did I topple forward or backward, or who made the call.
And who scooped me up crying
After the fall.
I can't remember the joy of first letting go
And taking that step without holding on.
Groping my way forward
Leaning against the wall
I got back up
After the fall.
As the Earth spun the years flew by so fast
At 17 I finally knew everything at last!!
Unexpectedly, I fell once again,
Head over heels this time
And out on a limb.
I was so sure of that bet
I gambled it all
Heart bruised abused and then broken
After that fall.
And then I broke my own promise
To not love again.
Hungry for life
I gambled to win.
Life is a theatre of first steps first
A one act play with no time to rehearse.
Co starring in roles
Cast without planning.
"Never more" echoes
The raven still chanting.
Undaunted unwilling
To let darkness win all
Trusting Father to be there
After the fall.
Then the day came
When I had a son
To let him learn the word hot And hope he'd not run,
Would he still love me
Or trust me at all
When I pulled my hand back
And allowed him to fall?
And knowing I'd be there again
To help him to stand
And knowing he might never walk
If I didn't let go of his hand
And hoping he didn't revert back to a crawl
When I let go of his hand
And allowed him to fall.
As the earth kept on turning
My heart kept yearning
My son now a man
Living and learning.
He hasn't held my hand now in a very long time
The cats in the cradle slowly plays in the back of my mind.
I looked in the mirror today
And noticed my dad.
And remembered a talk that we'd never had.
Remembering how he seemed towering and tall
And was there every time
After each fall.
I lose my balance these days now and again
My steps aren't as sure
As they once might have been.
In the winter of life now
I feel so small
And wonder who'll catch me
If I take a fall.
I suppose I'll just have to trust Father
With both great things and small
To pick me up on the other side
When I take my last fall.

In the time of the dead Destroying them which destroy the earth I am become death, the destroyer of worlds Since the fall of man the unregenerate quest Men have sought their own utopia to build their way to heaven What they begun to do has not changed to set their nest in the stars without God Making of a dystopia of many for a haven of a few To be like the most high closer with all technological witchery A wretched sorcery mincing and mingling in things They do not understand their sins will reach unto the heaven As they try to breed death out not seeing in trans-humanism They lost what is human through eugenics Their fears are true they have already lost their humanity The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds The pessimist fears it is true As they compromise for a lie to reject the truth They deceive and extinguish themselves Though the Prophecy was written for them to believe How shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation He that believeth not the Son shall not see life; But the wrath of God abideth on him

Reflections of imperfections
have shown me a way
that I can move mountains
through my power of faith
even though I can't see him
I know he is real
through the power of prayer
and a Love that I feel
It's growing inside me
like a flower in bloom
shall I reveal my powers
or is it too soon
I am reading the signs
through my darkness I find
a reason for belief in
the light of mankind
that I know shall overcome
the greatest of odds
the Love I seek amazes me
especially through the flaws
because now I am inspired
through the hero's that bring
my throne through the darkness
on which I return on as your King.

Love is a wonder
shared by one another
it's the only reason
I'm not six feet under
Love in which I believe
in a will to sustain
I give back to life, now
in dormant states of pain
The power of Love
may not alone be enough
locked inside my dreams
escape only from above
higher than any human being
has ever gone before
I must have evolved
rise above hate, great once more
My Father taught me wisdom
I am imprisoned no longer
now an beast not of burden
I am no lion, I am stronger
on my shoulder sits twin dragons
long awaiting the day
evil forces come forth to
take what Love is left, away
A Hero of Love light
are what the world needs
angels, not demons
exist where ever you believe
follow your heart's direction
and you shall achieve
objects of affection
rid of materialistic greed
My bright energy
has awakened to a fire
never consuming the source
as the flames just grow higher
that is the desire
of a product we call Love
Fear, the counterpart
what I was once made of
I am slowly learning
how to win when my peace
is harder to sharpen
so I have given my pen leave
the sword has its uses
I must say I believe
to vanquish the evil
in the minds too diseased
to serve any purpose
except their own selfish ones
tomorrow a new day
in the clarity of the sun
where we two are now one
and one done now does
bring about a great change
lit by the righteousness of Love.
Get on your bike
and get out of my face
it smells of fish and oil
on the beach this peachy day
cape on my shoulders
to fly away
up with the seagulls
I sh*t on your face
Now that the body
has been properly buried
full of the scars
from the wars do I carry
I cannot believe
you all find me scary
I skip full of spirit for
despite this I'm still merry
For on this day
God smiled on me
gave me the sign
to renew my belief
and with his presence
I shall achieve
an eternal life
filled by my infinite energy (S).
He told me when he was young and spry,
that life was a destination,
so he let the days fly by.
He now tells me, while forgetful and old,
that I shouldn't have listened to him.
"I was a fool not to take it slow."
Well today I'm standing somewhere in between,
perched on a totem pole,
tell me which way should I lean?
After all that's all I've ever done
was ask you, oh great and wise one.
Should I walk? Should I talk?
Should I do this? Should I do that?
Well gee, I can't hardly take a breath
to simply hang up my hat.
In the words of the great Toby Keith, "What about me?"
If all I ever I do is take advice how will I ever achieve true victory?
I shall leave it all behind in search of a reflection,
so that I may see things uncensored
in light of our glorious sun.
Once found, I will scream with all my might,
"What must I do? Tell me, oh wise one!
Surely you if not anyone else must know
how to blow my worries away."
Nothing but stark silence followed
my great outpouring.
But that lack of sound was my therapy
where no voices lead me astray.
Nothing but the presence of God
in the still of morning.

Is It God We Trust? Or Leave In the Dust?
As our courts remove God from this great nation.
We are left with a confused and lost generation!
As God is taken away from our public schools.
A huge tide of immorality is what "rules."
The Bible is often mocked and discarded.
It was on it's principles this country was started!
Just about anything of God seems to get scorned.
So many "rush" to worship many ungodly forms.
As God's name is often tossed and thrown out.
We tend to forget what HE is all about!
Too often, his plans for living are tossed and abused.
No wonder, there's many who are lost and confused!
As people forget God and worship the fallen creature.
They look to themselves and "glorify" their features.
Many ignore God, and get involved in deep addictions.
And with this, come disease,
heartache and afflictions!
As God looks and sees this nation "bleeding."
It's his righteousness, that we need to be seeking!
If we would humble ourselves, he would hear our prayer!
He loves all of us! And he really does care!
Won't you come to HIM, And invite him in?
Won't you allow him to be your master and friend?
He brings strength and nourishment to the soul!
It's only in him that we can be made whole!

I simply love being me
for I am so good at everything
step into my city and they
will tell you who is King
one day when I am hungry
I will swallow everything
then and only then shall I
inherit the stuff I dream
even then I promise
not to settle for satisfaction
at any instant half a second
I could spring into full action
so go against me? please,
you do not even measure
up to half of the goodness
that I hold tight like my treasure
still spreading rumors about me
to try and destroy my life
can't believe I let myself get beat by
a stripper and my self-intended knife
try and say I'm gay
even though we both know that isn't the truth
just ask any woman I been with
if they ever needed proof
they'll say I was the cream of the crop
as they took it all night knowing
I just may never stop
I own the status of a legend
now what you got left to say
when I bring it twenty-four seven?
A full moon night
to my delight
what is so wrong
with doing what's right
nothing is right
after so long
no use in complaining
time to move on
The Dream Water one day
might take me away
farther from the comfort
of familiarity
I float on my back
then shut my eyes
my body now sinking
into ocean arms open wide
Now swallow your son
back to his nature
when he is no longer
needed to stay here
the next generation
are dooming themselves
they need my experience
to guide them through hell
Why should I bother
on my own, I strive through
I turn my back on the thought
of bothering to save you
alone in this world
my, is it spacious
I'm finally smiling,
never so gracious.
Reflections in the mirror
were getting scary
I could not carry
the weight of my pain
it almost took my life
to learn to love again
for I have made a friend
somewhere along my long lost way
I hope that I helped him
just a fraction of how he helped me
maybe that single thought
is what finally gave me my peace
enough to release so much
stolen energy
Now I am not afraid
to walk where the streets are hot
for I thrive in Hell's kitchen
where the devil stirs my pot
for I now have him quiet tame
I sacrificed my dragons
at the alter of my name
and now you are my slaves
any time I need
I'll call upon my superhero's
to come and rescue me
like my Saint Toni
who swept me off that bridge
and showed my how a death can be
the greatest reason to live
for she was the seed to grow my Eden
then a man from a foreign land
gave me something in myself to believe in
the magik of Love.
Every place I have taken you, I had a plan.
Every tear you have cried had a purpose.
Every undertaking through the hurt was Me.
There with you watching you, allowing you to choose the path.
You are here now, with Me.
If it took that for me to be here with you now... You are here.
Remember this moment.
You will fall; fall short.
You will learn.
You will then be able to teach.
You my child will have a story that is heard.
A seed; a seed that seems to be so troubled.
That through me will grow.
Grow into a strong tree, that is rooted.
The blooms will be bright for they are only from turning back to me, the root -connected.
Be still, be strong, be a testament that something so beautiful, so worthy of my love will stand the test of trial.

When my life was spent
I lay on my death bed,
All bent and in torment
Wondering about where shall I be led?
I was scared,
The truth was now ready to be bared
Is there life after death,
Is hell there where I shall now give my worth?
It came, like a flash of lightning
I never felt any painful burning
I just closed my eyes
And opened them to new skies
He was there, a fair knight
He looked at me with expectation
My own spirit was shining so bright
I feel my heart melting, faced with this divine revelation
It was a world so still
Yet, I could not refrain myself from feeling a thrill
I was with God
I was, at last, with the leader of the herd!
A world it is, ruled by eternity,
It is there, a sanctity
Peace prevails
The Lord, for such, entails!
It matters not, he said
If you believe your life was not lived
Life on Earth is a temporary phase
Meant to shower you with false praise
Those who get attached to its false vision
Keep returning to its endless illusion
Be calm, be happy, here, you shall be free
Free to be as you do deem yourself to be!

Know me not as a delicate flower, but as a strong tree with deep roots of faith.
Know me not as a small fragile princess, but as a mighty warrior queen.
Know me not as a flatterer, but as a noble weaver of words.
Know me not for the small girl I am, but for the strong woman in God I will become.
~Know me by this, for this is me!

Take me to a place, a place of trust, a place where bad things are thin as crust, a place where love is profound a place less lost and more found. Take me to a place we all call home a place where no one is left alone, a place where you help me and I help you a place where my expression is green instead of blue, a place where you don't have to look back, a place where everything is all facts. Take me to a place full of adventure and wonder a place where there is no rain and no thunder. A place where honesty is at its best a place where we are more instead of less. A place of peace there is no stress a place of love instilled in everyone's chest. A place where we all are rich left out the struggle pulled out the ditch. Take me to a place free of drugs and abuse a place where there is no excuse. Take me to a place of great generations a placed of real teach and life learned lesson.

I once saw an old man with hair
the color of snow and in his hand,
He held two circulates of gold.
I asked the man what the rings
were for.
One, He said, is for the Young
and the other for the Old.
With questioning eyes, I looked
upon and as He explained,
I heard logic's song.
An in conclusive reasoning, He said
and then a comforting smile,
He gave, as He continued to say.
(The Young) " The heavy bodies
descend by gravity and again the
gravity is quality; Whereby a heavy
descends is an impertinent circle and
teaches nothing.
Meaning: The Journey Onward.
(The Old) " A circle which touches
the curve and close to the point more
nearly coincides with the curve than
hence is called; Circe of curvation.
Meaning: Coming Into Full Circle.
An unofficial association of people, I said
but the smart set goes there.
It's simple my Dear, He said;
A plane curve generated by one point
moving at a constant distance from a
fixed point, (The Young & The Old).
As He calculated the circumference of the
circle, again He spoke.
Every part of which is equally distant from
a point within it, is called: The Center, The Soul.
He spoke in logic in which I had never heard spoken.
A conclusion of a form of argument between two
or more unproved statements that in the end, prove
each other as one.
Alpha, Omega, The beginning and the ending,
a circulate of gold. The Young and The Old.

Am I Really Happy?
With everything I've acquired and got...
What kind of happiness has it brought?
With everything I have or can name...
Has it given me joy or brought me shame?
With all that this world can give me…
What kind of life "lies beneath me?"
With all of my possessions and wealth…
Do I have contentment and "true" wealth?
I want it to be known and wish to express…
I'm not so sure, I'm what you would call "blessed."
There's something I know to be certain.
Tomorrow could be life's "final curtain."
There's something that's been on my mind.
Have I given God just some of "my" time?
There's one thing I'm going to do… And do it now!
I'm going to come to the Lord and humbly bow.
This is something I need to say and do...
Give it all to God! And tell him;
Something that I should have done already...
When Christ comes again… I want to be ready!
God's joy and happiness is true and very real!
The presence of God.., I can already feel!
What God has given to me, no one can take away!
For he comforts me and is with me every day!
By Jim Pemberton
Running from the end of time
just me, my thoughts, my voice and I
now turn, in paralysis, by fear
to see whats under that dark figure
what I saw, Words can never define
I stood there wided eyed, jaw dropped
in awe at the end of time
just as the sudden, terminal sun
dying from the same cancer in everyone
the great lord, so sick of his design
now comes in full vengence into the
end of time...
When I was young, I thought I knew so much about this and that, and him and her, and they and them. I knew where I wanted to go, what I wanted, why I wanted it, and when I wanted it; I saw pain and peril, poverty and ill gotten gain, doom and gloom, greed and bad seed. I wish I had known you when I was young.
When I was young, it was not my idea, but as a young child I was required to work too much, too hard, too long. I rested far less that I should have. My mentors were few, my money was short, my mountains were high, my mission was clear, and my mind was made up. I looked for more knowledge; longed for more time, and hungered for more of God. I reached out to build the right relationships with all the right people, in all the right places. I listened a lot, to learn more about things I did not understand; and I laughed far less than I should have. I spoke and taught a lot when I started preaching at a very young age. I saw and heard a lot. You seem to be the type of person I wish I had known when I was young.
When I was young, I wanted to touch all the bases with everybody to learn about everything all the time, here and there and everywhere. Wish I had known you when I was young.
When I was young, I wanted to run and rush from place to place, to gain an audience, and take away other people's pain, and share from face to face, matters of facts and faith and God, with the human race. Wish I had known you when I was young. Perhaps I could have learned a lot more about people from you.
When I was young, I prayed and sought, and served and strove, and sat with saints, to listen for wisdom, to learn how to live, as the Master taught.
When I was young, my spirit paced back and forth, to find my place, to discover my purpose, to occupy my space, to see a God that's real, to discover where my life was suppose to fit. Perhaps someone like you could have open my eyes and ears about certain things. Wish I had known you when I was young.
When I was young, I found peace and power, love to care, courage to share, grace to help, hope to cope, faith to go forward, and forgiveness from God. It appears I was on the right path. I wish I'd known you when I was young. It would be interesting to know how my life might have been different; but I guess we'll never know.

swarm of bees in the springhouse
cluster around a new post
Old men like Phil, Howard, Kenny, Walter, and Gaines are forerunners of the past.
They walk with canes now and are in blazers and slacks.
They still talk game about equity.
They state they will die in their identity.
Gaines is the one I know the best.
He lives via mediums for political success.
Does he achieve as he is?
Gaines is an orphan, a Catholic, a bar attorney in Mississippi.
Older women like Dora, Bobby, and Jenny V. are Honey's strength.
They walk without assistance.
They are not like the men.
Their smiles are sugar pudding and they take on younger women.
These images are real life formed.
They manifested their destiny in socio-political and socio-religious forums.
They come from Baptist, Catholics, and Methodist faiths.
They are heroines and heroes and they have failed.
These are images of the past and present.
Eccentricity is their essence.
Exposed is their depth.
Their identity is within all of that.

God Is In Control
It does not matter what we have been told,
We know in our hearts,God is in control,
Yes, they came day after day,
Yes it is true God has the last say,
Be a assured He is hear always,
There is no need to fear,
Hold on to our Faith for it will see us through,
Trusting that it will all is going to be alright,
As God is in us all, in the fight
Defeat is not an option for us,
Yes we serve a God who can,
Teach a bird sing a beautiful melody,
A God who can calm the sea,
A God who holds our destiny,
He is our healing spring,
And in His hands He brings,
New LIFE,
……and Joy,
Yes just for us, because His love is everlasting, Unconditional and true.

Age is a no return journey
Prevailing for our involuntary taking
A standard paced tally
Of God's own making
Its greatness is mercy
The footprint count keeps adding
There is a childhood of innocence
A youth of hopes and dreams
A middle age risking resentments
And out of old age, there streams
The wisdom of courtesy and sense
That fits today's wanting themes
Age is reward
To see and share many a dawn
Share your wisdom in God's regard
Invoke virtue into intention
For silence can be wayward
When thousands of ears pay attention

Thanks to a terrific recipe I found here on the Kanu site from Kasha Ho's Eat 100% Local Week Guide, I made the 'Ulu & Hamakua Mushroom Chowder for the family Sunday dinner and it was a hit! I embellished a little bit by adding some fresh Kahuku corn, cut fresh off the cob. The 'ulu (breadfruit) came from a friend's tree, the Hamakua mushrooms & the corn came from the Kaka'ako Makai Farmers Market, from The Hawaiian Chef and Haloa Farms respectively. As for the flavor...outstanding. The 'ulu tasted like a really good potato, and made for a super creamy chowder. Delicious. Leftovers made an excellent 100% local breakfast the next day.
In the photo below, the 'ulu is still in chunks. I used an immersion blender BEFORE adding the corn to puree the soup about 3/4 of the way, leaving about a quarter of the soup chunky.
Now go get in the kitchen and cook some local food!

What's an immersion blender? This looks yummy!

Production of Medicinal Marijuana (THC) With Yeast
A newly formed biotech firm in Ireland, the crazy brains of Hyasynth Bio, are currently experimenting with the production of the medicinal marijuana cannabinoids THC and CBS by transplanting the genetic code into yeast. Researchers believe that they will be capable of growing medical-grade medical marijuana rapidly in a laboratory setting and potentially remove the requirement for traditional grow houses, with this procedure.
CEO of Hyasynth, Sarah Choukah, talked to VICE and stated that growing medical marijuana is expensive right now, and it's heavily regulated as well. You've got to go through several different strains before you get a stable blend, therefore, making the process slow. They are thinking to bypass all that, to make it steady to grow, they can evolve medical marijuana from technology that could render them customizable blends of yeast.
Producing Medicinal Marijuana with Yeast:
It is admitted by the researchers that their yeast-based medical marijuana project is something that scientists have been fussing in for several years, but because of legalities of marijuana research, those efforts never came to an end. This is the primary reason of why the team has decided to set their sights on the medical marijuana side of the industry, according to Choukah. It is believed by her that they will eventually explore the opportunity of getting indulged with the recreational market.
The legalities about creating medical marijuana (THC) out of genetically modified yeast are cloudy. The focus is on the medicinal solutions, right now, although interest in how recreational laws turn out in Colorado, Washington and other states have been shown by Choukah and co-founder Kevin Chen. Engineered cannabinoids are scoped atntreating Multiplate Sclerosis, Alzheimer's muscular dystrophy, epilepsy, chronic pain and inflammation, right now, according to Hyasynth's website.
The benefits to this procedure are that it will authorize us to control specifically how much of each compound we want to produce. Rather than depending on medical marijuana plant strains generated from exclusive ancestry, specifically forged microbes can be designed within a couple of days.
Work on an expedited schedule, will be done by Hyasynth to see if genetically engineering yeast to produce medical marijuana (THC) is approachable. Choukah and Chen do have choices they are ready to try if yeast states unsuccessful i.e; algae and E. Coli could also be the answer.
We may be able to anticipate many different channels of delivering Medicinal Marijuana (THC) to patients and those who may be uncomfortable with certain methods, with this scientific procedure. What once was a pipe illusion more than a decade ago, could quickly render efficient, scoped medicine to aid those enduring.

DETROIT, July 30 (UPI) -- Alex Avila smashed a tiebreaking grand slam and Anibal Sanchez tossed seven strong innings Tuesday in Detroit's 5-1 interleague win over Washington.
The game was tied 1-1 in the sixth when Prince Fielder, Victor Martinez and Jhonny Peralta got aboard with two outs and Avila sent a 2-1 pitch from Stephen Strasberg deep into the right field stands for his first career grand slam.
Sanchez (9-7) tamed the Nationals on one run, yielding five hits and a pair of walks. The right-hander tossed 57-of-95 pitches for strikes as the American League Central-leading Tigers won a fourth straight.
Strasberg (5-9) surrendered five runs on six hits over seven full frames.
Ryan Zimmerman drove in the only run for Washington, which dropped the opener of a two-game interleague set.

The study was designed to mimic the level of salt found in roadside ponds following de-icing events. The study found that bullfrog tadpoles did not experience reduced survival, growth, or ability to evade predation in elevated chloride concentrations, and thus, their populations are not expected to be impacted by road salt. While this is good news for bullfrogs, it's an additional stress for other species inhabiting ponds with these voracious predators.

Hot and Cold: AF1s With an Icy Sole
How many versions of the Air Force 1 exist? According to Complex magazine there's nearly 2,000 different editions - which means that close to 70 colorways release a year. It makes sense - as one of the most iconic sneaker styles in history, we just can't seem to have enough options in our collection.
And even though the brand has come out with some pretty dope special editions, sometimes it's the simplest colorups that really catch our attention. The latest Air Force 1s are all dressed up in jet black synthetic leather with a contrasting white outsole and signature swoosh. Meanwhile, a Photo Blue toebox and side panels add just the right punch of color, and a translucent sole ties the whole palette together.
Read to add them to your own AF1 rotation? Head to a Jimmy Jazz store or scope out the website April 26, when these sneakers drop for $100.
So what do you think of the colorblocking on this version?

Strictly's Ola Jordan: I fear the axe for 'too sexy' outfit jibe
STRICTLY star Ola Jordan has put her career on the line by criticising the show for its revealing outfits.
She claimed the celebrity partners' costumes are made skimpy to win the ratings war and now she fears being axed.
She said yesterday her partner last year, actor Ashley Taylor Dawson, 32, "felt a bit self-conscious taking his top off", and dozens more have had red faces.
We dancers are used to wearing tiny costumes. But on the show they are getting shorter
Ola, 31, said: "We dancers are used to wearing tiny costumes. But on the show they are getting shorter.
"The producers love it but celebrities need to feel comfortable and, if not, dresses should be longer."
Referring to her husband James, 36, who was also a professional on the show, she said: "It is dangerous to raise your own opinions as you can get ditched, right?"

Shaping tail dependencies by nesting box copulas
We introduce a family of copulas which are locally piecewise uniform in the interior of the unit cube of any given dimension. Within that family, the simultaneous control of tail dependencies of all projections to faces of the cube is possible and we give an efficient sampling algorithm. The combination of these two properties may be appealing to risk modellers.

Volume VI, No. 4, Summer 1979
If students stay on the Bittersweet staff until their senior year, or join us in their senior year, they get special recognition on this page. By this time we feel our readers have seen their names on by-lines or business correspondence enough to wonder what they're like. We have six seniors this year, three of whom were introduced in the spring issue. Now meet Joe Jeffery, Lance Collins and Leigh Ann Hicks.
Business manager and treasurer of Bittersweet, Inc., Joe could spend all his time keeping our books, sending out bills, delivering magazines to local merchants and keeping our files in order, but he, as a good leader should, sees that those on his committee learn how, too. In addition to that job, he manages to do some photography and, of course, write some stories. Currently he is enthusiastic about his research on the Model T's. He's written about the civil War at Montevallo and about hand dug wells. He plans to go to work in a Lebanon industry after graduation.
Let's admit it. Lance's great interest in Bittersweet is in photography. Last year we couldn't keep him out of the darkroom. He finally got his own camera and has become semi-professional, taking free-lance photos for the local paper. He enjoys publicity work, too, speaking over the radio each time we put out a new issue. That goes along with his other big interest, speech and dramatics. He plans to study photo-journalism at Southwest Missouri State University to make a career of photography. But, world, remember, he was Bittersweet's photography editor first.
This is Leigh Ann's first year on the staff. We're all sorry she isn't a junior so she could be here next year. She is quite an organizer and gets things done, probably because of her background of leadership in Girl Scout work in which she is still active. This issue has her first story, "Tatting," as her great-grandmother showed her how. All staff members learn the craft they write about. We're not sure she'll have time, but she knows how to make lace to go on her gown and veil for her wedding this June. She will move to California, Missouri, where she will work in the MFA.

London - HSBC just missed analysts' expectations with a near
$22bn profit last year, which marked the biggest profit among Western banks
thanks to its strength in Asia and other emerging markets.
HSBC, Europe's biggest bank, on Monday reported 2011 profits
of $21.9bn, up 15% on the year but just below the average forecast of $22.2bn
from 13 analysts polled by Reuters. The profit included $3.9bn of gains on the
value of its own debt.
Profits at its investment bank were down 24% on 2010 at
$7bn, hurt as the eurozone debt crisis slowed capital markets activity in the
second half of last year.
CEO Stuart Gulliver is reshaping HSBC to cut annual costs by
$3.5bn, lift profitability and sharpen its focus on Asia, and said he will step
up the execution of his plan this year.

On the Habitat theme, I'd be interested in changing the menu buttons at the top (I'm using a mustom menu, from the menu's link on the dashboard)
I'd like to have an image, which may or may not change when the mouse hovers over it (undecided). Is this possible with habitat?
Finally, otherwise, I love the theme! Very easy to customise to my own tastes mostly.February 3, 2011 at 10:07 am #40022
Also, a side question. How would I right justify the text in the menu buttons?February 3, 2011 at 2:21 pm #40023
1.) You can modify the navigation menu to include an image relatively easily by editing the CSS for the menu items. The custom menu allows you to add a CSS class to the menu item link when you edit the item (if you don't see it, click on "Help" at the top right of the pae and check the CSS box) and add the class here.
For example, for the Home link you could use a class of "home". You would then need to add the appropriate CSS to either replace the text with an image or set a background, background positioning and padding to suit the link depending on how many you have and how large the image is.
2.) You can justify the text by adding this CSS:
text-align: justify;
to this code (style.css around line 207):
.nav li a strong {
display: block;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: normal;
JamesFebruary 3, 2011 at 2:49 pm #40024
Really sorry, but it seems change the style.css to right justify the menu items hasn't worked…
I'm talking about the top menu bar, which has things such as "home" and "portfolio" on it.
I am using a custom menu, but it is supported by habitat (at least it appears to say it is) so that I can hide a couple of menu items.
If what you've said applies to my situation still, could you post the sample code with that line in place? It may be thaqt I put it in the wrong place maybe… (Though I don't think so…)February 3, 2011 at 2:56 pm #40025
Aha, I worked it out myself. I misunderstood you slighty. I worked out it needed to be:
text-align: right;
thanks very much!February 3, 2011 at 3:00 pm #40026
Sorry, one last question!
Each of the top menu buttons has a small line on each side. How would I add a line to the right of the final button in the sequence? (so it appears justified to the edge of any images as well etc.
Thanks!February 3, 2011 at 3:07 pm #40027
I did wonder whether you meant to align the text to the right rather than justify…
The css/style1.css (or style2.css or style3.css depending on your colour choice) needs modifying to change this:
.nav li a {
border-left: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
to this:
.nav li a {
border-right: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
The style.css file also need editing to remove this code:
#top .nav li:first-child a {
border: medium none;
as at the moment simply changing the border-left to border-right will not apply for the 1st menu item and it would look wrong.
JamesFebruary 3, 2011 at 3:24 pm #40028
Sorry about the justify thing, allof us at the company seem to be saying the same thing incorrectly in that case then…
Umm, I don't seem to have a style1 or any other css apart from style.css, which doesn't have the code you mentioned?February 3, 2011 at 3:36 pm #40029
Sorry…once again I see where I went wrong! Went into the ftp server and changed it there. Thanks very much! Worked perfectly!February 5, 2011 at 9:07 am #40030

Simulink Design Verifier™ uses formal methods to identify hidden design errors in models without extensive simulation runs. It detects blocks in the model that result in integer overflow, dead logic, array access violations, division by zero, and requirement violations. For each error it produces a simulation test case for debugging.
Simulink Design Verifier generates test inputs for model coverage and custom objectives. It also lets you augment and extend existing test cases. These test cases drive your model to satisfy condition, decision, modified condition/decision (MCDC), and custom coverage objectives.
The Model Slicer tool in Simulink Design Verifier isolates problematic behavior in a model using a combination of dynamic and static analysis. It lets you highlight and trace functional dependencies of ports, signals, and blocks, and slice a large model into smaller, standalone models for analysis. You can view blocks affecting a subsystem output and trace a signal path through multiple switches and logic. The Variant Reducer tool enables you to simplify models containing multiple variants by creating sliced models based on active variant configurations.
Support for industry standards is available through IEC Certification Kit (for ISO 26262 and IEC 61508) and DO Qualification Kit (for DO-178).

If you're looking for a way to get directions and navigation right from your wrist, PebbleNav is a pretty slick way to go about it. Richard had a good long look at the app (iOS only) right here, and he found it a great way to get walking directions. Starting today, you can find PebbleNav in the official Pebble Appstore to make for easy installation.
Well, apps like this require a companion app on the phone. I completely agree with your point but unless the developer wants to make Android apps as well then it is what it is.
I've been using Nav Me on Android. Shows text of the upcoming direction and the arrow but not a picture of the map, but it's been great fit me for both driving and waking so far.
Very cool use for a Pebble but that display seems downright primitive to me....reminds me of my trusty Garmin gecko from 10 years ago.
On a side note; might want to update your watermark Jerry. ;)
It's good to see work in this direction but on the other hand I feel sorry for Android users who are being kept out of the loop coz the app is iOS only. On a different note, the navigation on the watch doesn't look as good as it could have on the other watches but I guess that is a limitation of the black and white display that users will have to live with.
Hey, wow. Coolio!
If a BB10 app is in the pipeline I'm in!
Nice to see things like this. Here's to hoping an android companion app is in the works!
