Next spring, projects that drained Lubbock wallets for years should provide a West Texas reservoir rarity: drinking water.
Lubbock water bills have surged as lake levels have fallen. Today, residents pay a minimum of 200 percent more than they did in 2006 — almost $200 more a year before even drawing a drop.
Fears as early as 2002 of a vulnerable city water supply prompted a drastic overhaul to how and how much residents pay for water.
Now, with cities around Texas contemplating big infrastructure projects and facing water supply problems of their own, Lubbock has left its drought restrictions untouched.
If crews carving a trench from Lake Alan Henry across the Caprock and up through cotton country make their schedule, one of the highest-profile investments could start to pay off by June.
"To see this thing come to fruition, it's very satisfying," said longtime Northwest Lubbock Councilman Jim Gilbreath. "It ensures our future in terms of that precious resource."
Most of the money is reflected in a rare patch of blue in the brown landscape outside Justiceburg.
Lake Alan Henry sloshed at about 6 feet below its maximum level last week. Lake Meredith, once the principal reservoir for the Panhandle, was more than 96 feet below its maximum.
City officials can boast they saw this coming in 2002, though the idea was controversial at the time. Some staff were confident Lake Meredith contained another 50 years worth of water. They warned Lubbock would embark on a costly and unnecessary project.
But caution won out. Through the Canadian River Municipal Water Authority, Lubbock's principal water supplier, Panhandle cities began devouring available groundwater rights throughout the region. Design began on a 50-mile pipeline project to Lake Alan Henry.
Water rates, too, endured a sea of change. Prices once cheaper with more use, encouraging excessive pumping, were reversed and dramatically increased.
No one expected a drought of record to make the case for water so plainly this past year.
"This drought, I think, has had the effect of what would have naturally occurred 20 to 50 years out from now," Mayor Tom Martin said. "We knew it would come eventually, but we're having to deal with it now."
The most recent state water report now calls Meredith, San Angelo's O.C. Fisher Reservoir and Hords Creek Lake, south of Abilene, "effectively empty."
"The riverbed is bone dry upstream from the lake," said Kent Satterwhite, general manager of the Canadian River Municipal Water Authority.
Pumps over the last year were lowered, and then shut off, and then lowered again.
When the authority turns out the lights at the end of August, there are real questions as to whether they ever will come back on.
"Lake Meredith is pretty much going to be redshirted," city Water Utilities Director Aubrey Spear said, referring to sitting out a college athlete for a season.
The city still needs a decent team for a supply, and Lubbock wants Lake Alan Henry to show lots of stamina. The reservoir won't replace critical groundwater piped in from Roberts County and will, at best, account for 40 percent of the city's supply.
Evaporation and the first stages of drinking supply will pull about 10 feet a year from the city reservoir. A storm that dropped 6 inches on rain in 2010 added 9 feet to the lake. Under a "doomsday scenario" with no water reaching the reservoir ever again, Lake Alan Henry would last about 10 years, based on city estimates.
But groundwater is gone once it's pumped, and an exhausted Bailey County well field owned by the city could use rest.
"It's a good, renewable source of water," former Mayor Marc McDougal said. "It's not going to solve all of Lubbock's problems by itself, but it can certainly be a supplemental water source for Lubbock for years and years to come."
There's not much trace of the $237 million Lubbock residents spent as the pipeline leaves the lake. A pig-launcher, named for the contraption used to clean the pipe, is the last above-surface glimpse of the line before it dives underground and into a canyon wall.
This was the bulk of the project cost: carving a reliable line through rugged ranchland and profitable crops.
"You can imagine throwing $1,000 bills out the window as we drive," city engineer Wood Franklin said last week during a tour of sections of the 50-mile route.
Only a break in the mesquite and a couple access points for the pipeline hinted at the project a mile from the dam. Tilled but empty dirt fields about a mile from the dam cover the scar from the buried pipe, a side effect of the drought that has made the project such a priority.
Farther north, the route becomes clearer. A flattened dirt path about the width of a highway stretches across the land, forming a smooth off-road route from Post.
Shredded drip irrigation lines like huge black nightcrawlers lace the topsoil piled high for miles along one side of the trench.
Tougher, rockier soil from deeper in the earth — including piles of the tough caliche used in county roads — lined the other.
A construction team worked on the edge of short, blossoming cotton plants. Two excavators dragged equipment along, digging up the bed for the pipe and filling in dirt as they finished. A small crew of welders worked in between, sealing sections of pipe together before moving on to the next length.
The team worked without speaking as a friendly foreman chatted Big 12 football with visiting engineers. On their best days, they could cover almost a quarter-mile.
Crews like theirs have about 15 miles to go.
Some have found it particularly tough. The connecting section of pipe between Post and Southland lags well behind schedule — the contractor has hired on crews from another section of work to help catch up.
Still more work waits at towering and empty pump buildings along the route, and at a hub of activity west of Slaton, where a second water treatment plant was climbing out of the dirt. Workers spent cool night hours melting together a large black plastic coating to cover the bottom of a staging reservoir capable of holding 225 million gallons. Filtering equipment stood tightly wrapped beneath blue tarps, waiting to be installed.
"A lot of the big stuff — reservoirs, pipelines — are coming along fine," Franklin said. "When you get into the mechanics of buildings, pump stations ... there's still quite a bit to do."

A week after being shot while on the job at a Brampton courthouse, Peel police Const. Mike Klarenbeek has been released from hospital.
Charnjit Bassi, 45, allegedly entered the courthouse on March 28 and opened fire after being asked to approach police.
Const. Klarenbeek was shot in the abdomen before police shot down Mr. Bassi.
Const. Klarenbeek has spent the past week at Sunnybrook hospital, but was released Friday morning and "sent home today to recover from his injuries," according to a release from the Peel Regional Police.
Included was a statement from Const. Klarenbeek's wife, Lynn, who said she is "very thankful that Mike is able to come home today."
Ms. Klarenbeek thanked the "doctors and nurses at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and all those who were responsible for providing excellent medical care to Mike over the past week."
The Klarenbeeks have requested privacy during his recovery.
Funeral services were held Thursday for Mr. Bassi, who was described by his ex-wife, Sonia Chowdhry, as "gentle" and "quiet."
The shooting is still under investigation and there are no leads in determining a possible motive or reason behind him being at the court.
Ms. Klarenbeek said she is grateful to police for being "very supportive" and taking good care of the couple according to the police statement. "Mike and I have both been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support," she said.
"It is hard to begin to thank so many people, but in due time we will be able to."

Consumers bamboozled by 'complicated' domestic bills
Householders are bamboozled by bills, new research has found, as half of consumers find it difficult to check their electricity and broadband bills for accuracy, while larger numbers struggle to understand gas bills.
The research from price comparison site Switcher.ie shows most people feel they have no choice but to trust their supplier to get the bill right. However, one in four people claims to have been overcharged on at least one bill in the last year.
For those who claimed to have been overcharged last year, the average amount was €54 for electricity, €36 for broadband and €30 for mobile phone services.
Consumers feel the way bills are put together is too complicated, with many people of the view that too much jargon is used. Large numbers of householders say they cannot find the information they need.
The study, carried out among 1,000 people by Coyne Research for Switcher.ie, found that half of people found they were unable to check their electricity bill for accuracy.
A similar percentage had issues with broadband bills, while 56pc had difficulty with gas bills.
Managing director of Switcher.ie Eoin Clarke said over-complicated bills were a barrier to people engaging in the utility market. "A large percentage of people say their bills are difficult to check for accuracy, and this puts them in the vulnerable position of having to trust their suppliers to get it right.
"As our research shows, this doesn't always happen, and people can end up out of pocket as a result," he said.

Monday Night Raw: Evolution reform to batter and bruise The Shield in Alabama
Intercontinental Championship Tournament kicks off in style
Last Updated: 16/04/14 9:31am
Triple H, Randy Orton and Batista ran roughshod over their rivals in the early-to-mid 2000s as Evolution, and the three grapplers joined forces again on Monday night in Alabama to silence The Shield.
The Game, The Viper and The Animal were bludgeoned by Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns on the previous edition of WWE's flagship show, and took their revenge in dramatic style.
Triple H had teased a mystery opponent for the black-clad renegades after their anti-Authority actions of a week ago, but ended up giving them 11 - Alberto Del Rio, Jack Swagger, Bad News Barrett, Alexander Rusev, plus RybAxel, 3MB, Alexander Rusev and Fandango.
Most of that aforementioned brood dished out a severe beating to the Architect of the Shield, Rollins, but the match was rendered a no-contest when Reigns speared Ryback outside of the ring.
However, the Hounds of Justice were then floored by Triple H, Orton and Batista with the trio heading to the ring to their Evolution theme music and smacking their foes with RKOs, Batista Bombs and, finally, a Pedigree.
Orton and Batista had seemingly decided to band with The Cerebral Assassin after Ambrose, Rollins and Reigns had attacked them during their tag-team encounter with twin title holders The Usos - and Evolution and The Shield now appear to be on a collision course.
Elsewhere, John Cena challenged Bray Wyatt to a Steel Cage match at Extreme Rules - a dare that was swiftly accepted by the Eater of Worlds - while many of the men that bashed The Shield at Raw's culmination were also in action.
Barrett advanced into the semi-finals of the Intercontinental Championship Tournament - the winner will face current belt holder, Big E, at Extreme Rules - by beating Dolph Ziggler, but Swagger and Del Rio were vanquished by Sheamus and Rob Van Dam respectively.
RybAxel thrust themselves into the tag-team title picture by knocking off Cody Rhodes and Goldust; while Fandango and new lady friend Layla defeated Santino and Emma; and Rusev submitted Xavier Woods before battering R-Truth.
Cesaro joined Barrett, Sheamus and Rob Van Dam in the Intercontinental Championship final four courtesy of Neutralizing Mark Henry; Big Show knocked out Damien Sandow; and new Divas Champion Paige conquered Alicia Fox with the Scorpion Crosslock.
Plus, WWE paid tribute to WWE Hall of Famer The Ultimate Warrior, who passed away on April 8 at the age of 54, with a 10-bell toll and a minute's silence, followed by Superstars and fans alike chanting the legend's name.

How's Your Website?
Many people assume that website creation in a one-off proposition. The site is created and then it's crossed off the list. Chances are, the results are underwhelming, if measured at all.
A strategic website begins with a plan and a strategy. What are your business goals? Who is the audience and how do they access your website? What actions do your customers expect to complete by accessing your website?
A website is a perfect medium to centralize a content marketing strategy. Content marketing is the art of communicating with your audience without selling by providing relevant information. Inbound marketing combines PR, content, social media and SEO working together, not only to bring people to your brand, but as an integrated system for achieving your business goals.
To develop a full website, you need a specialized agency; you'll find some good ones in our area. If you need help to develop the integrated marketing strategy and provide copywriting, I can help. My new hours are Mondays & Fridays from 9 AM – 3 PM, feel free to email anytime.

In Praise of Direct Mail
Direct Mail has never been a more important tool in your marketing mix. In these days of overflowing inboxes and spam filters, personalized direct mail is an effective method to help you meet your sales goals, drive traffic to your storefront or website while gaining valuable customer insights because direct mail is 100% measurable.
According to the Direct Marketing Ass. 2016 statistics, "Where online is generally low-cost, low impact, print is higher-cost, higher impact. Where online marketing is passive, direct mail is active." (https://thedma.org/knowledge-center/marketing-statistics/direct-mail-statistics/)
Highly successful direct mail campaigns follow a simple formula:
40% Targeted List + 40% Offer with Call-to-Action + 20% Creative=Success
To do it right, invest in an accurate list. Start with your end goal in mind and develop a compelling offer, something that gets your reader's attention. Invest in a good graphic designer to make that offer come alive visually. Talk to your printer, they will have lots of suggestions.
If you need help developing your list, integrating your direct mail with your digital marketing strategy or copywriting, I can help.

The Trouble with Twitter…
…Is that so many businesses, particularly in rural areas do not take advantage of the world's leading micro-blogging platform. Twitter is a fast-paced, free tool for news sharing, gossip & culture, politics, coupons, special deals and foodies.
Busy people love Twitter.
Twitter is more like talk radio or cable TV, only very mobile. Hash tags (#) signal conversations in Twitter that can now be extended into Instagram and Facebook. Many companies, for example Fitbit, use Twitter for customer service. All you need is a simple profile, then you are ready to "tweet" – write a great headline with 140 characters. Add a photo to draw more interest. You follow your interests, and people follow you. Once you have a strategy in place, it's not complicated.
Twitter's new advertising platform gives you an effective, affordable method to target your audience for a price that won't break your budget. It's a super option if your audience loves Twitter as much as I do 🙂
Please contact me for a free consultation, there's no better time to get started. Better yet, follow me on Twitter, @BethRyan or twitter.com/BethRyan and send me a message.
Where is Your Sunshine? Understanding Public Relations & Brand Journalism
Public relations is defined as a strategic communication process that builds mutually beneficial relationships. My specialty, integrated marketing communications (IMC) recognizes that in our advertising saturated world, public relations is equally, if not more important as companies can now self-publish in both print and online. Typical PR tools include news releases, special events, newsletters, public service announcements (PSA's), editorials, special websites and social media, however, most PR campaigns begin with a news release.
The humble news release, well written with a compelling headline is a business owner's most effective tool that requires little to no investment other than time and imagination. To build a meaningful relationship with your audience and the media, you need to think and write like a journalist – this is called "brand journalism." In brand journalism, instead of saying, "buy my stuff," you are telling your brand story by sharing news and information relevant to your business and the industry that you serve. These stories position you and your company as a thought leader and influencer in your community.
A great press release can be repurposed as a blog, expanded into a white paper, posted to your website, linked to social media, or wherever your customers go for news and information. If you boost your editorial with an ad, you will get amazing results. Marketing guru Al Reis famously said, "PR is the sun and advertising is the wind."* Find your sunshine today and make it more effective with a burst of wind.

WI - Homeless Manitowoc teens stay at high school
They committed crimes.. themselves so I'm not sure where to put this... but it also seems like a crime they are homeless (if it's true).
Also the teens have been in Jail since March 21st.. seems like a long time to be held without charges being brought.
Freiboth says the two teenagers were sleeping inside a boiler room at the high school. He says when police questioned them, they told officials they were homeless.
�In my career we�ve never seen anybody actually breaking into the school essentially trying to find a place to live,� said Freiboth.

The things they say
"Am I gonna read Total Recall…? I love the guy. He's a great guy. He's accomplished a lot of wonderful things in his life and it really is amazing the life that he's had but that part is… 'So I saw her cleaning the room…!' I shouldn't say that… I see him from time to time at events… and it's good to see him." Terminator villain Robert Patrick isn't sure he'll read co-star Arnold Schwarzenegger's memoirs, particularly the bit about the affair with his maid that ended his marriage to Maria Shriver.

September 13th, 2009, 02:52 AM #1Hidden truth behind North Carolina
Great example of how legislation of one state will hide the truth from others (the nation). North Carolina's Norm Burtness is refer to as an E-Commerce Specialist for Secretary of State's Office.
"In North Carolina, for instance, state broadband authority e-NC spends at most $275,000 per year on maintaining a map of broadband availability in the state, detailed enough to list individual addresses, according to executive director Jane Smith Patterson." AP, NY 12Sep09
Why spend our federal tax dollars on a stimulus package for mapping a broadband coverage of NC. Enacted a tax on Affiliates and Internet Marketing, why a map, as NC does not want citizens to buy Online. Burtness is not about eCommerce moving forward with anything other than wallets. Plain and Simple...Something several politician are great at...LYING! Pray several North Carolianians' remember this era on next voting dates. eCommerce will always be hindered when we elect fools to control spending.

I do not think NC or other states would waste the money to track others (IP's), I would not worry about it until your sales are on Wal-Mart's level. Then anyone could afford to buy the law, as many status quo's do in this country. However, no person or entity is above American Jurisprudence, but they're those that think different too.

APFED is an AMAZING site! The sample 504 plan served as a great tool, when developing our daughter's 504 plan.
Our daughter was diagnosed with EoE at the age of 3. Her sporadic and inconsistent vomiting convinced us that an endoscopy was necessary. Her preliminary results showed eosinophils in her esophagus. She was on a food restriction diet of: cow milk, soy, gluten, egg and apples. Her condition was not improving, in fact, minor scaring was taking place in her esophagus. Since this, we decided to put her on the Flovent treatment plan at the age of 5.
Her first year on Flovent was great! All of the eosinophils in her esophagus were wiped out and/or suppressed. and the rest of her body was pristine. Then, about 15 months into the Flovent treatment, symptoms began arising, again. She had an out-of-routine endoscopy, that showed fungus in her esophagus. The fungus was a side-effect from the Flovent.
She immediately had to take medication to get rid of the fungus. About 3 months later, she had an endoscopy. She was still vomiting, infrequently, but enough for us to know something was not right. This endoscopy showed that she now had eosinophils in her stomach lining. Her treatment plan now included the Flovent for her esophagus, and now an antacid, for her stomach lining.
Our daughter is scheduled for another endoscopy at the end of October, 2015. If there are any signs of eosinophils and/or fungus, she will immediately go on a top 8 food restriction diet. Our daughter is now 7 (soon to be 8), and we are still pretty frustrated, overwhelmed and sad. I definitely cry, a lot, when I'm alone.
It would be very helpful to have a support group in the immediate area of Westchester, NY. Going into Manhattan, is just to practical for a mom of 3, who are 7 and under. I did meet with Julie Forrest, and she is GREAT!!! We are currently in the developing stage for a eosinophilic disease fundraiser, in Westchester County, NY.
Thank you for your existence, APFED!
My daughter was diagnosed with EoE (Eosinophilic Esophahitis) at age two. Our doctor at the time didn't really explain my daughters diagnosis and wasn't very aggressive with it. With out Apfed I would have never known what was intaled with my daughters diagnosis. It helped me find a new doctor that only treats EoE. They also helped me with planning my daughters 504 plan. We recently participated in APFED's Hope on the Horizon walk and got to me new friends. With out APFED and all of their wonderful volunteers, I think I would still be left in the dark about my daughters diagnosis. Thank you APFED and your volunteers for everything you do for us!!
When my son was diagnosed with EE more than a decade ago, there were scarce resources on the topic. When I found APFED, I had a place to connect with other parents and learn more about the disease. Since this is a rare condition, the ability to find online resources is key, and APFED fills that need marvelously. Since then, with my son's condition under control, I have been able to support the organization and give back in other ways. I can't think of a better organization to support!
Apfed is a priceless asset to the EOS affected community nationwide. Through education, resources, facts, and bringing people together, Apfed strives to help everyone coping with EOS disorders. Apfed is also a great organization to team up with to raise money for the cause. They are easy to work with and very helpful!
Two of our grandsons at the ages of 2 and a half years have been diagnosed with Eosinophilic Eosophagitis. After the initial shock and denial, we have decided to learn more about this life-altering disease and enhance our awareness. APFED has helped us immensely through their well-organized Educational Conferences and their updated Newsletters. During the conferences, we were able to meet and talk with Professionals from all over the United States who are working towards finding appropriate treatments for these rare diseases, learn about nutritional plans and understand the social and emotional inpact of these diseases on the lives of children affected by EE and EGID diseases. APFED has also helped several families find support systems and connect them to appropriate services. APFED has been working diligently to obtain funding for Research and finding treatments for these life-altering diseases.
My five year old grandson, Jack, was diagnosed with EE three years ago. It is a challenging condition that effects the whole family in many ways. The information and support provided by APFED hwlped us all to learn about the condition and assisted in decisions regarding treatment options for Jack.
My son was diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagitis as a baby in 2002. For three years, we didn't know a single family dealing with this condition. We felt so alone! So there we were, going to one doctor's appointment after another, receiving little concrete information, then left to go home alone and deal with it, day after day. In addition, no one around our family could relate or begin to understand the scope of what we were dealing with. We were truly isolated in a world of helplessness: What do we feed him? Is this hurting him or not? Why isn't he growing? Do we chose to put him under anesthesia again to see if he is eating safe foods? Why are people verbally judging us as if we are overreacting to simple allergies, the only thing THEY can relate to? How can I help people understand! Finally, we found APFED! Ahhh, families who know exactly what we are going through...we are not on an island anymore! Networking with other families, having our children meet others just like them (that THEY also know that they are not alone), eating or accepting formula in the many creative ways our families have developed without being judged. After taking that breath of relief, to find through APFED the information that sheds light on the scope of this challenging condition. Doctors dedicated to this emotionally charged disease. Conferences to educate families directly from doctors determined to help our precious children and adults. Working together to put into place what others take for granted: ICD-9 codes, awareness about the condition (National Eosinophilic Awareness Week), money for research!!! In appreciation for all that APFED has offered us, a group of families came together to create a video for APFED specifically to help teachers, family and friends understand what we live day to day, in hopes that they will join us with compassionate support instead of judgment. But with many informational pieces such as newspaper articles, news briefs and magazine profiles, people watch, think how sad, and move on. Our goal at the end of the video was to ask viewers to stop, hear our children, and to think about giving to an amazing nonprofit that given so much to so many!
Thank you APFED for saving my grandson. He is now 7 and was almost 2 when my daughter was told he had an eos disorder. Without APFED we would not be going to the right doctors. Without APFED she wouldn't know all the different medicines by going to the APFED conferences. They have saved my grandson. I love how they do research AND raise awareness. APFED got a National Eosinophilic Awareness week passed. APFED got medical codes passed. APFED raises money for research. My 7 year old grandson did a fundraiser for APFED for other eos kids. THANK YOU APFED! From an eos grandma - Eileen

Yeah and CSing an enhancement shaman's Nature school should also disarm him and make him unable to use any skills whatsoever for 6 seconds.
Many important shaman abilities are locked out. The fact that ferals had absolutely no downside to being locked out is stupid. And while you mention it, silences AND disarms cripple an enhancement shaman, whereas both do nothing to a feral.

it's an internet thing!
it's an internet thing!
13:17 08 August 2013
One of the best things you can do before you make any kind of purchase, or begin a project, is to do pricing comparisons. You probably automatically do it for things like vehicle purchases and for obtaining loans for mortgages, but what about for other things?
It might not seem feasible to get pricing comparisons for every little purchase, but there are lots of items that you can find significantly cheaper.
If you take a little bit of time to do some comparisons, you may save yourself a lot over the course of a year. The NHS is even going to take advantage of the benefits of price comparisons as mentioned in a recent article about reducing the costs of health care expenses and supplies.
Here are a few ways that you can employ this same tactic to get the most out of loans:
• Consider whether or not you want to deal exclusively with local businesses that have a physical presence. Many people prefer to obtain loans from a branch bank or other similar institution that will allow face-to-face communication.
• If you're open to obtaining loans over the internet, try speaking with people to find out sites which may be recommended so you don't choose a scam site. If you don't have a preference, feel free to compare internet, branch locations, and other loan options when you do comparisons.
• Don't just consider interest rates when you do pricing comparisons for loans, but also include any fees. Some may be non-negotiable, while others may be a result of late payments or other situations.
• Make sure you know what your options are if you encounter better interest rates, or a better overall deal. If you choose to go with a company and interest rates drop a couple of percentage points, this means a huge difference in the payments for your loans. Look for refinancing options.

8 skeins of gorgeous colors.. I've always been fascinated by the colors in Noro yarns and when I saw Sue de-stashing some Noro on Ravelry, I had to have some of it. I bought 4 skeins each in 2 colorways. You might wonder why I am head over heel about Noro. Its mainly because I never thought I will get to meet this yarn in person. I like the 'rustic' look of it and the colors are to
Have you seen the Noro striped scarf by Jared Flood?! I fell in love with it the moment I saw it and now I have a chance to knit it. I am excited about how my scarf will turn out. I am resisting casting on this scarf till I finish my Aase's shawl which is in the final stages. I hope to get it completed by this week.

Here is the second colorway. I hope the two colorways complement each other in the scarf. I think that is the beauty of the yarn. The unexpectedness of the color changes will make you feel like you are on a treasure hunt.. ;-) The yarn does feel rough as mentioned by many. But, I think I can live with it. :-)
It is worth noting that I bought this yarn in July 2010 and I finally met it yesterday. For the curious cats who are wondering why the delay, I shipped it to a dear friend in the US and he brought it for me into India during his recent visit. Thank you, Lancie for the help. So, I waited 6 months to meet this yarn and hence you must understand why I am this excited about this yarn. Even my Hubster thinks that I have gone bonkers seeing the way I was gushing over the yarn. Don't the colors look cheerful to you?! I am thinking of making the below picture my desktop background. Good idea?!
So, what is your most recent yarn purchase that you are tickled about? Share with me in the comments. I would love to hear from you.

KISS my What?By
In the presence of my husband, if someone says "kiss my ass", he quickly says, "mark a spot, you are all ass"
Here is Paul Stanley, guitarist from KISS – born in Queens in 1952 and a legendary rock figure, writing and co-writing a majority of their famous chart busting hits. It was with Paul's encouragement that KISS took off their makeup sometime in the 80's. Paul has a birthday coming up on Inauguration day, he will be 57 and still looking pretty good!
It's tough for many to take off their make-up because we are a society driven by the anorexic look, face lifts, fat lips and boob jobs. What are we recognized for, is it our appearance, talent, brains or looks?
We have all heard Oprah whining lately about how upset she is with her appearance, she needs to loose weight by the Inauguration….. give me a break! I've got news for Oprah, many people would like to be employed, or be able to pay their bills on time. A worry such as 15 pounds should never throw us into such a tail spin.
We have stereo typical images of bad boys, dumb blondes, sex symbols, geeks, business men, career women and so on…Take off that stereo typical make up, there are so many things you can obsess over, other than appearance, I have battled my weight for many years, up 20, down 10, up 5, down 1.. I can't physically keep up my "goal" as set by the Weight Watchers standards.
I am setting my own goal, it's where I feel comfortable, where things fit that I like. Strive to be the best you can, don't strive to be someone else, or look like someone else, because, underneath all that stereo typical make-up, there very well may be botox, silicione and alot of stitches & scars.
A great example of the not being stereo typical is Diane Keaton, she is who she is, and she is a beautiful woman!
To the rest, well.. KISS my….

Most of us make the major mistake of putting away our summer clothes when the colder weather starts to set in, but nothing could be farther from practical. There are a wide variety of ways in which you can use your favorite warm weather pieces even through the snow, cold and chilly winter wind.
Short Shorts & Mini Skirts
This is the most obvious of the lot. Instead of packing your ripped denim hot pants or ultra short party skirt into boxes, invest in a few pairs of black, gray or brown tights to layer underneath. The tights don't even have to be a neutral color; a pink floral printed skirt can be paired with pink tights for a bright pop of color.
Playsuits & Jumpsuits
The same theory applies to short playsuits; wear a layer of leggings underneath to keep warm, and if the playsuit or jumpsuit is short- or no-sleeved, simply wear a long-sleeved top or sweater underneath or on top. A thick jacket also looks perfect over a long, flowing jumpsuit.
Midi Dress as Maxi Skirt
Short beach dresses with an elastic band on the top can be pulled down to the waist and used to cover your legs as a winter-ready maxi skirt.
Capris in Boots
3/4 long pants don't have to go to waste in the winter because they expose your ankles; they can either be tucked into ankle boots or worn under knee- or thigh-high boots. You won't be able to tell that they aren't your standard long pants!
Good luck, and long live warm-weather vibes!

News :
After putting their fans through another disappointing NRL campaign, Gold Coast coach Neil Henry wants his players to give their supporters a season finish to remember.
The Titans have won just six of 22 matches at home in the past two years and are destined for a fifth consecutive season without finals football.
With their season starting amid the cloud of several leading players being charged with cocaine offences by Queensland's Crime and Corruption Commission, things have hardly improved from there.
Voluntary administration; the Daly Cherry-Evans backflip; captain Nate Myles signing with Manly for next season – hardly anything has gone right in 2015 for Henry.
But if you think his team is lacking motivation going into Sunday's second last home game against Canberra, then you're mistaken.
"Our record hasn't been great at home … that's what we're playing for," Henry said.
"We're playing for our fans and for the satisfaction of getting a win in the competition."
The Titans have been boosted with Myles to make his return from a shoulder injury against the Raiders while fellow forward Ryan James is also back in action.
Rookie halfback Kane Elgey is a chance to play, making a quicker-than-expected recovery from a hamstring injury.
Henry said how Elgey pulled up from Saturday's captain's run would determine if he played.
"He said he feels pretty good but he's still inconvenienced," Henry said.
"We'll wait and see … Daniel Mortimer has been training in that position and we've Kierran Moseley to come in."
The Raiders' finals hopes are shot after three straight defeats, including a controversial 26-24 loss last weekend to Manly.
Despite that poor form, Henry is wary of Ricky Stuart's side, especially after receiving a 56-16 hiding from the Raiders earlier this year in Canberra.
"Last time, Blake Austin – he carved us up," Henry said.
"You can talk all you like about his sidestep but he just went through us twice for two easy tries.
"They've got a lot to like about their team and Ricky will be pushing them to finish the season with three wins if they can."
TITANS v RAIDERS – Key match stats:
* Gold Coast have conceded the most tries (4.7 per game) and linebreaks (5.8 per game) this season
* This season, the Titans have lost all three matches in which Aidan Sezer has been missing, averaging just six points per game
* Canberra have only won three of 12 matches in Queensland in the past five seasons, however two of those three wins have come against the Titans on the Gold Coast
*Odds correct at time of posting. Subject to change

text: Hi. I use uneek and a WODE as this is my preferred setup over using the real NAND, but none of the WODE homebrew that connects to it and reads the ISOs work in the uneek environment. I was hoping someone would be able to modify uneek+di to show the list of games on the WODE instead of USB/games/xxx.. From what I understand, all the necessary WODE code should be here: http://www.wodejukebox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1008 It would be much appreciated, as I don't know how to do this myself, and it would be ideal for any WODE user that prefers a virtual NAND like myself. I understand porting one of the currently existing homebrews (like Wodeflow) to the virtual NAND environment would also work, but having it show in the list would be the best I think.. Thanks.

Hack Life Better with sugru
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of sugru.
With a house full of boys, it's inevitable that something will get broken — on a fairly regular basis. Despite my very best efforts, the kids are rough on things and most items just aren't made to last anymore. So far this week, we've lost several toys plus an iPhone cord to their abuse. And it's only Wednesday.
I was quite intrigued when I heard about sugru. It's a self-setting rubber that contains silicone. It quickly sets overnight and you're able to fix, modify or repair items easily with it's help. I love the company's story. Their do-it-yourself gumption is thrilling to me. Plus, they offer such a valuable and practical product that it's easy to wonder how you lived without it for so long. I also love that they're offering a 25% off coupon on your order now through April 8 by clicking here and using the code sugrumoms25 at checkout.
Seeing just a few of the suggestions on the sugru website had me excited. I immediately could think of a half dozen toys with broken arms or legs that could use a little surgery help from sugru. I know I'll save money by using it since it will help extend the life of the boys' toy collection.
When I mentioned to Jorryn that it could be used to repair broken items… or to help his Lego buildings… he was over the moon. Legos are the way to his heart and anything that can make building better is a win. After watching the sugru Lego video on their website, he wanted to try make some Lego pencil characters. I was all for it!
I loved that Jorryn was excited to try something new. He also told me afterwards that home work was much easier with help from his storm trooper friend. 😉 We just used a small dab of sugru, rolled into a ball and then put it on a pencil. We stuck a little Lego piece onto the pencil and let it harden overnight. In the morning. he selected a storm trooper mask to put on and set off to do his school work.
One lucky reader will win a Sugru Craft Bundle including:
- 1 pack of sugru 8 x 5g in multi color
- 1 pack of sugru 3 x 5 g in white
- 1 magnet kit
Just use the easy Rafflecopter form below to get your entries in.
Giveaway is live until Friday, April 7 at Noon PST.
Good Luck!

Way overdue!
SO... myself, Slade and Brielle all had Birthdays this month! Slade is now 1- i can't believe it! I seriously and holding him and knocking him over when he stands so, he will just crawl longer and stay a baby longer ( okay not really knocking him- just not encouraging walking)
It seems like weeks ago- He was just born. We were going to name him TROY or SHANE but, neither stuck! He was a large 8 lbs 14 oz. and a few hours shy of 42 weeks. He is a bundle of joy in every way!
I will miss every part of His tiny-ness when he grows- just as i Miss all my kids being babies. I have to say- that Slade is the most cuddly baby we have had- and so chill ( except for hen he is teething!)
I was looking back at Brielle's photos too...
Her 3rd bday!
Her first haircut after SHE first cut her hair!
After we moved to CO- she was 4.5
Brielle is about 5.5 here before we moved to our current home.
And we are so blessed by her! WE LOVE that she is growing into such a great young lady who is so loving and cares for others. She has gotten more cuddly as she has grown. When she was a baby- she would have her bottle then be off- no snuggles- just get busy attitude but as she has grown- she is much more cuddly and is our kid who gets up at night and hops into our bed the most ( and sometimes just sleepwalks around the house). We are also so grateful for our OPEN ADOPTION with her birth families. They are above an beyond what we could have imagined. They are an extension of our family in ever way! Love them so much!

At Work; The Employee Side of Health Care
By Barbara Presley Noble
Published: August 29, 1993
PRESIDENT CLINTON no doubt bowed to political reality two weeks ago when he announced that employers would be the linchpins of health care reform. His alternatives were to ask people to buy health insurance on their own, a turkey sans wings, or to institute a national health plan, which surely would have snapped back into reality anyone who thought anti-Communism was dead. The "employer mandate," as the plan is known in its current form, simply makes the current voluntary system a mandatory one, bringing into the fold employers who, for whatever reason, decline to pay for "fringe" benefits like health care.
No one can say how many policy mutations will occur before the Administration delivers a proposal next month, much less how nibbling by Congress will reconfigure it. The debate will likely be driven by the anxieties of small-business proprietors, who have learned the value of paying dues to leather-lunged organizations that bear their standard in Washington. Companies of all sizes are helping to float the impression floating over the debate -- which resembles a raucous graduate-school seminar -- is that employers will simply eat the cost of increased benefits and deduct the total from the bottom line. Bad for profits, bad for competitiveness and bad for growth, if true.
Companies could just quietly absorb the cost, and monkeys pecking randomly on keyboards could eventually write "The Bridges of Madison County." But they -- the companies, not the monkeys -- would violate the First Law of Economic Self-Interest: costs that can be passed on will be. Once the dust settles and the chickens roost on reform, employees will almost certainly feel a nip and tuck somewhere in their compensation packages. Some experts think there will be out-of-pocket costs; some are simply expecting higher taxes. But no one thinks the burden will fall alone, or even most heavily, on companies. "Employees will have to pay," said Arthur Drechsler, a senior vice president at the Segal Company, the benefits consultant.
That may be fair or unfair. There is no shortage of experts who think consumers don't pay enough for their health care choices. The tooth fairy, who has emerged as a major policy player, doesn't pay for health care. As Robert Reischauer, director of the Congressional Budget Office, told a House subcommittee earlier this year, employees are under the impression they don't pay much for health care. They're wrong. A C.B.O. report last fall put it succinctly:
"At first glance, the employment-based system seems to provide workers with insurance at exceptionally low costs, since employers generally pay most of the premium. But a careful analysis shows that in the long run employers' costs are largely shifted back to workers in the form of lower real wages and reduced nonmedical benefits."
The fact that many companies pay 80 to 90 percent of health benefits looks like generosity but is in reality just good business. Both employers and employees receive tax incentives for benefits -- employers in the form of deductions, employees in the form of untaxed income. (The Employee Benefit Research Institute estimates the Government is letting $138 billion in revenue slide this year by not taxing benefits. About $43 billion of the total figure is for health care.)
Wages and benefits have been the twin threads in total employee compensation packages for decades. During the World War II-Korean War era, when wage increases were controlled by the Government, companies used benefits to compete for workers. The strategic decision by the labor movement, even after wage controls were lifted, to muscle pensions into the collective bargaining arena cemented the employers' role as the conduit for certain social benefits provided by government in other countries.
OVER the years, benefits have become an increasingly important part of compensation, rising, according to data from the United States Chamber of Commerce, to 36.2 percent of wages and salaries in 1987 from 17 percent in 1955. The rise has occurred as wages have stagnated, in part because of increases in the cost of health care itself. Since 1973, the higher cost of health care and other benefits absorbed about half of the real gains in compensation for full-time employees, according to the C.B.O. report.
"This squeeze on real wages, of course, has meant that workers have less to spend on everything else, and have felt their circumstances quite strained," the C.B.O.'s Mr. Reischauer told the House Ways and Means health subcommittee in March.
There is no question that employers have absorbed some of the increased costs of health care, but they have also gained flexibility by containing salary costs, which become institutionalized, while increasing benefits, which can be adjusted more easily. In the 1980's, the growth in benefits slowed, and increasingly companies are requiring their employees to make a direct contribution to help pay for their insurance.
The fact is that even in the downwardly mobile America of the future, where we can all expect to huddle over Sterno cans, companies will still need to compete for workers, and they will probably do it mainly on wages and benefits. But companies have been pushing the competitive baseline back for a decade now. It seems likely that the cost of health care reform will erode the baseline further, a point being lost in the predictable cacophony about assaults on small business and an American way of life. WHITHER THE LOW WAGE?
EMPLOYERS unable to pass on the costs of health care to workers -- that is, employers who now pay the minimum or near-minimum wage -- are not without options. They could, for example, rethink their low-wage strategy. "If firms face higher wages, they are forced to raise the productivity of workers. That's good," said Edith Rasell, an economist at the Economic Policy Institute in Washington. Employers have raised productivity recently by paring workers, but they could do it by reorganizing work or buying new machinery. "Employers are not helpless," Ms. Rasell said.
Much is not known about the details of the Clinton health care reform plan, but it is clear that the wounded cries of low-wage businesses are having an effect. Federal money for benefits may be available, which means that in effect the Government will be subsidizing the low-wage strategy that traps many workers in poverty.

I was planning my Internet marketing strategy for the next 12 to 18 months and thought it was a good idea to get some expert advice. The analysis and recommendations from ProSeo were fantastic. They reviewed my website and within a few weeks I saw my rankings jump at Google – not just a few places, but by a FEW PAGES. I am now ranking on Page One for almost every keyword and Long Tail that I requested.
These lads know what they are talking about, and they make this stuff easy to understand.
This is an investment I would recommend to anyone who wants better results from their Internet marketing!
I now have a great looking website, it works well, it's not only is it top ranked at Google, it now generates real enquiries, and we're regularly closing sales.
As my Dad used to say " if you think hiring a Professional is expensive – just wait until you hire an Amateur"…. Derek and his Team at ProSeo are truly PROFESSIONAL !
