Miya believes that her lover can read her thoughts. Has she just gone crazy? That is possible, seeing as she was kidnapped and taken to a research facility. Miya is enchanted by her captor and, gradually, she succumbs to his "magic hands".

"Who are you?" I demanded. My body was giving way to panic. I pushed against the restraints, though I knew they wouldn't budge.
"Give me a reading," the stranger stated. He positioned my injured arm between his hands, cupping my elbow.
"Surface temperature 38 degrees," the man to my left stated. What? Was he talking about me? It had to be Celsius.... Damn it, I should know what that means.
"Heart rate 140 BPM. Blood pressure 175 over 90."
That I understood. It was way too high. I shuddered. But how did they read it without a cuff?
"Just relax." His words blanketed me with a sense of ease, but there was something more. A warm comfort rippled beneath his hands. The pain in my elbow peeled away.
With narrowed eyes he stared down at my arm. Sensation tingled toward my hand, like a rush of blood, then my hand went numb.
"ETA 35 minutes," a man's voice said from the front of the vehicle.
"Where are we going?" I tried to make my words forceful, but my chest was heavy. A hum of feeling in my arm consumed my awareness. My arm twitched then relaxed again. The pain was completely gone.
I had tried reiki and meditation in college, but this was something I had never experienced. It was as if he commanded my muscles to relax.

I have never used a french press before and I have heard talk of temperature. Can't you just put a pot in a tea kettle and when it whistles it is ready? Is that too hot?
Tips and hints would be great!

I am drinking about the same ammount of red wine, nothing else has changed diet wise. I am brushing my teeth the same as always.
It is a four cup press and I typically drink most or all of the pot each day. Takes a bit of effort but worth it for sure. I actually like the little bit of grit.
Anyone else see a connection between French press use and dirty teeth

You can't import a autocad dwg file but you can import and autocad dxf file. Simplify what you need to import in Autocad and then save a DXF file. Then go to PCB Editor and use File - Import - DXF. Take a look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTegtW9bPCs
To create a round PCB draw a Circle (Add - Circle).....
There are a few things to remember with the dxf import. OrCad has a problem with some types of lines and files.
I normally use polylines in AutoCad and it is a closed polyline for the board outline. Then save the file as a version 12 dxf.

Whitehorse Lookout
"He thought of the Clydesdale horse and what it had done for the district. It became his dream to see something similar erected in Waimate and he came home from his tour planning to enlist support for the building of a statue in the town."
In 1965 an area of land between 20 and 24 acres (8.1 and 9.7 hectares) was donated to the Waimate Development Society by Mr J M Sutherland. It was suggested that a Lookout and Park on Mt John and the hill which overlooked Waimate would be a valuable community asset.
With the cooperation of land owner, Mr Jack Sutherland and the Waimate County Council, "Centrewood Park" with its panoramic views, north, south, east and west became a reality.
Mr Hayman put forward his suggestion, a Clydesdale statue could be placed at the lookout, however, it became obvious that to make the statue a size visible from a distance, the cost (an estimated $5,200) would be prohibitive.
Using his own words from notes he wrote at the time, Mr Hayman said, "….. I then came up with a plan of a silhouette, twice the size of a horse in a concrete slab on its edge. There was still doubt about the size being sufficient, time was still going on and no monument. I was given the idea of the Whitehorse of England, which I tried with wallpaper on the face of the hill". This was the start of action, the steep rocky face of the hill was too heartbreaking to smooth over. My next move was to the smooth valley close by, not so good for viewing, but where I could work myself. A load of plaster board scrap from the dump, laid in outline, proved the monument would be too small, but I was in business and ordered 200 paving stones."
Over the next 3 months, almost single handed but with assistance from wife Betty, he laid some 1,220 concrete slabs and with a 2 ½ ton head, precast in Mr Ron Hutt's yard. A dream was realised.
The final cost of $240 was met by donations from old farmers, teamsters and others who admired the Clydesdale horse.
On 19 October 1968 the then Minister of Agriculture, the Honourable B E Talboys, unveiled the cairn erected above the concrete horse at Centrewood Park. A plaque with a raised figure of a Clydesdale is set into the stonework of the cairn and commemorates the many draught horses which helped develop New Zealand.
The statue is:
- 60 feet high (18.29m)
- 48 feet long (14.63m)
- Head 16 feet (4.88m)
Set in 20 acres (8.09 ha) - 1300 feet above sea level (396.24m)

Riding Holidays in Andalucia
Clare and Hughie Arbuthnott have ridden all of their lives and most recently worked together guiding riding holidays in Argentina. The land around Almuña is extensive and perfect for riding with wonderful rolling farmland and mountain scenery following ancient muleteer paths.
Andalucía is famous for its breed of horses founded by the Carthusian monks during the reign of the Hapsburgs. They are noted for their calm and sure footed nature and became the favoured horse for heavy cavalry. They are also the breed behind the famous horses at the Spanish Riding School in Vienna and Jerez.
These riding holidays are for people who have had some previous riding experience.
- A Riding Journey in Andalucia A riding journey through Andalucía, following the old caminos and paths from Christian Arcos de la Frontera, over the hills and through the valleys to the Moorish fortified city of Ronda, in a week.
- Family Riding Holidays As part of the Family riding holidays we mix good rides with good fun, treasure hunting in the ancient village of Gaucin, a trip to the 'Espectaculo' in Jerez. This is a holiday for all ages
- Almuña Riding & Horse Feria in Jerez There is sensational riding around Almuña, following the old caminos and smuggles' paths stopping for either a riverside picnic or a tapas lunch in a local taverna. 2 nights in Jerez having visited the 'espectaculo' at the Spanish Riding School

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|4 - 5 nights
Relax and enjoy quietness, ocean views, sunrises and beautiful greenery all around…
Casa Fiddlers Green, just renovated, is a warm and welcoming vacation home, located in the beautiful and quiet area of Turtle Crossing in West Bay. Surrounded by lush greenery, this holiday home is private yet only a few steps away from the gorgeous pool and 15 minute walk from beautiful West Bay Beach, its restaurants and activities. You will appreciate the ocean views and breeze coming from the south side of the island, all from the spacious deck where you will able to relax on your hammock or just sitting with friends and family.
Casa Fiddlers Dream is a 2 story home, with 3 bedrooms (2 on the main floor and 1 upstairs in an open loft style) and 1 full bathroom. It can welcome comfortably up to 6 people. This well furnished home offers lots of natural light thanks to its grand windows, a well equipped kitchen, spacious living room and kitchen, with a very spacious deck where you can sit and relax in your hammock or enjoy a meal while enjoying the ocean views and the lush greenery all around. All the comforts that you deserve!
Turtle Crossing is a private and quiet waterfront community with a relaxed feeling of island style living. It is at a short walking distance from the best white sandy beach, yet private and exotic. A perfect combination for the perfect stay!
The stunning views, the pleasant breeze. Privacy and quietness yet close to the action, if needed!
So this is Paradise! We had beautiful weather and the accomodations were fantastic! Four of us stayed here very comfortably and I loved the bathrooms! We walked to the beach taking the less hilly route towards the left. It was a very pretty view from ALL the decks watching the sunrise and sunsets. Life is good here in Roatan and it was so wonderful to see you both Claudio,& Emiliana. We well hope to see you again soon. Thank you, best wishes, Marissa & Paul
The house is very comfortable and spacious, located in a beautiful and very peaceful area. This property is the closest one to the swimming pool which is great. We stayed for 7 nights and had a great time with the kids. Our party was 4 children and 3 adults. The house is located a bit far from the beach. With kids it´s a 25 minute hike to West Bay beach. Our host Christine was the greatest! She was always on top of everything and very helpful with all our needs. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable vacation in a good location in West Bay.
Favourite gift: Villa managers, Emiliana and Claudio, who were always accessible yet unobtrusive in helping me find my way. I have found a cherished friendship.
Well I came back (see review Beverly 02/26/10) last year 2 weeks, this year 4 weeks, next year 6 weeks. And it just gets better!!!!! I love the island and love my Sea Mist Villa. I am always enchanted by the ocean views throughout the cottage, the dependable temperate climate, cooling onshore breeze, an ever changing sunrise over the water (photographers dream), the tranquil marine activity passing by, maybe a majestic cruise ship, small fishing dinghy, or enthusiastic dive expedition, each almost lost in the vast expanse. If this sounds poetic it is how I feel after my trip.
Turtle Crossing has a small community feel (although just minutes to the action, facilities, and activity of West Bay Beach). Here there is a great deal of privacy and quiet and the familiar faces of your neighbours on a regular basis. Just time to discover the latest secret about the Island (restaurant, new bakery, gourmet food store, favourite novel, snorkel spot or small island getaway they have just discovered) 6 years coming to the Island and still finding new things.
Favourite island activities this year.
• Snorkelling everywhere
• Visit to east end of the island - Mango Creek Lodge (learning the history of the Islands and its pirates)
• Lunch at Playa Bay resort (remote & beautiful) – Miss Lurlene (owner) always has a warm hug to welcome me.
• Birthday party with new friends at Pigeon Key (small sand and coral island off the east end of Roatan) outstanding snorkel, fishing, guys caught a barracuda; the colours of the water are amazing.
Favourite 'Sea Mist' activities this year
• Coming home each day
• Meeting new friends
• Sunrise over the ocean each morning, (from my hammock)
• Moonrise over the ocean each night (from my bed)
• Fresh flower arrangements in my villa created by the young lady who cleans each week
• A private swim in the pool before bed.
• Star gazing while I float in the pool.
• Finding my quiet.
We stayed at Sea Mist February 4-12, 2011. It was, as my son said, "a once in a lifetime experience". The accomodations are awesome, we watched the sun rise every morning while having our coffee on the beautiful porches. Amiliano and Claudio are so attentative and gracious making sure every need is met to ensure your vacation is outstanding! We enjoyed our visits with them tremendously. They are very knowledgeable about the area and are able to make really good recommendations about where to eat, best prices and value for the money. Ron Rivers is the best tour guide on the island - what an amazing young man - knows everything about the island! Ron made sure we were able to do everything we had planned and then some more. Best vacation ever! If you are considering this as a possibility for your vacation you should go for it - you will not be sorry! I travel for a living and this is without a doubt one of the most amazing places I have ever had the privilege of visiting. The island is beautiful and the people are wonderful and friendly. They are very proud of their heritage and truly invite you into their lives. We will be back soon.
The Roatan Museum, tell you the history of Roatan; The Gumbalimba Park is a must see with its wonderful tropical vegetation and fauna, for the energetic guests, the South Shore Canopy Tour is an experience and try all the good and romantic restaurants on our West Bay Beach.

Review by AriadneAranea
Norma, a strange and unreliable protagonist, quite literally pieced together from women's magazines, yearns to burst out of the constrained house-bound life in which she has been forced to live since her "accident". But it soon becomes obvious that all is not as it seems and that, if she succeeds, it could spell disaster for everyone... This is a tragedy, and a farce, and a piece of art. Brilliant.

Vinyl Siding
Many homeowners prefer vinyl because it is more affordable than other materials. It offers 10 times the life expectancy of wood siding and is virtually maintenance-free because it never requires painting or sealing. Vinyl siding is also impervious to termites and other wood-boring insects and pests. To boost household efficiency, vinyl can be ordered with an insulating underlay or insulated backing. With numerous styles patterns, and color options that will compliment your home's unique look, vinyl is a great choice for curb appeal.

There's something I haven't ever told you guys about our puppy girl, Clover. She is a DIVA. I mean, you couldn't tell? Ha! She is SUCH a good dog and is absolutely a furry member of our family. She doesn't chew, she loves our kids. She really is a great dog, except for one habit that we are still working on 2 years later. We don't encounter it too often, but we definitely do more so during the holidays. She get SO excited when we have visitors, and if she hasn't been out to the bathroom recently when they arrive, she ALWAYS has an accident. It never fails. She literally just gets that excited. So, then we find her feeling like this…
She's embarrassed because she has had another accident, and she doesn't get to hang out and enjoy our guests. Poor, sad puppy. If you have this same problem with your furry family members, there are a few things you can do. We will often let her hang out in our bedroom while guests are here. Her bed is here, too. However, this isn't a permanent solution since we'd love for our guests to be able to enjoy her, too. So, we are working with her slowly but surely. Here are a few things we do-
- Make sure she's gone potty BEFORE guests arrive, and that she goes often while they're here.
- We have a command with her, for us it is "no, ma'am" and she has gotten to where she will really calm down if we use it. Find a command to get your pup's attention and try that when they get too excited.
- Slow introductions – sometimes it really helps a lot to let her be around people a little bit at a time first, and then she starts to get used to them and doesn't get SO excited.
As time goes she does get better. However, we still do encounter those accidents. That's why we rely on STAINMASTER® Carpet Pet Stain Remover.
This helps us to get past the pet messes and keep training her and working with her to get better. Pets and carpet aren't always a perfect match but STAINMASTER™ Carpet Pet Stain Remover lifts away tough pet stains and eliminates odors. Some other stain removers can leave a sticky residue that can attract dirt over time, but our breakthrough technology is designed to quickly clean on contact and repel dirt to protect against re-soiling to keep your carpet looking newer longer. And you can breathe easy thanks to our powerful ODOR REMOVE™ technology, which starts to eliminate odors within minutes.
This product is also great for potty training your furry friends, because when they are learning to go outside, getting rid of the odor to keep them from going back to that spot is CRUCIAL! STAINMASTER Carpet Pet Stain Remover cleans the area, removes odors, and repels dirt to help prevent future messes. A handy product, it also works on many household spills and stains, too.
Here's how you use it-
- SPRAY: Spray product liberally and directly on affected areas.
- WAIT: Wait 3-5 minutes to allow solution to penetrate the stain.
- BLOT: Dampen the spot with water and blot with a clean, colorfast paper towel or cloth. Repeat as necessary to remove the stain. For best results treat stain immediately.
I found our STAINMASTER Carpet Pet Stain Remover at our local Alabaster, AL Target in the cleaning aisle.
Stainmaster Carpet Pet Stain Remover is not available at all Target locations, but is available online. Click here to find Stainmaster Carpet Pet Stain Remover, or have it shipped for free, to your local Target store.

The Champions League and the Coase Theorem
The Coase Theorem is both one of the simplest and most profound ideas in economics. Coase's insight was first expressed in print as a theorem by George Stigler, following the publication of the famous article "The Problem of Social Cost" by Nobel Laureate Ronald Coase (1960). Stigler stated it thus: "with zero transactions costs, private and social costs will be equal". In this paper the Coase Theorem is approached through the medium of a sports league. While Coase's article dates from 1960, a colleague at Chicago University published a discussion of the market for baseball players in 1956 which almost completely anticipates the more famous paper (Rottenberg (1956)).

John (Jack) Shea is a theologian and storyteller who lectures nationally and internationally on storytelling in world religions, faith-based health care, contemporary spirituality, and the spirit at work movement. Formerly, he was a professor of systematic theology and the Director of the Doctor of Ministry Program at the University of St. Mary of the Lake, a research professor at the Institute of Pastoral Studies at Loyola University of Chicago, and the Advocate Healthcare Senior Scholar in Residence at the Park Ridge Center for the Study of Health, Faith and Ethics. He has also taught at the University of Notre Dame and Boston College. He has published thirteen books of theology and spirituality and two books of poetry.
"This is the fourth and final volume of a series on the lectionary that is intended to provide food for thought and preaching. Shea is a nationally known spiritual guide whose writing is at once inspiring and provocative. In this volume he provides commentary on the readings for major festivals (e.g., Christmas, Lent Easter, Pentecost) and for weddings and funerals. His method is not a verse-by-verse commentary on the biblical passages (although he draws on sound biblical interpretation) but meditative essays prompted by the readings. Preachers will find a lot of great homily leads here and so, too, will any reader seeking some good spiritual nourishment." -The Bible Today
"This is an invaluable commentary. John Shea breaks open the word of God in extraordinary ways. It is rare that one of his reflections doesn't contain a stunning new insight. He draws upon the best studies in Scripture but also upon spiritual wisdom as it is found in literature, poetry, psychology, and other religious traditions. He makes all the deep connections and has worked for years in honing a language that is [so] direct, it stares you in the eye. Anyone preaching or teaching on the Gospels will be helped by this commentary. I have shamelessly borrowed insights from him and if I were down to just one commentary on the liturgical readings it would be this one."
-Ronald Rolheiser, OMI President, Oblate School of Theology San Antonio, Texas
"John Shea's gospel insights are the very best! In an all too busy world with so many homily helps and Bible-based catechetical tools from which to choose, I chose John Shea's material and wisdom. In his weekly section of Spiritual Commentary or his section on Teaching, on more than one occasion I have caught myself saying, 'why didn't I think of that!' His approach to the Gospels is brilliant. His teaching through the Gospel text makes common sense in a complicated world. " -Fr. John Cusick Director, Young Adult Ministry Archdiocese of Chicago

Confused about clipless pedals - the 2 hole versus the 3 hole types
I have both a mountain bike and a road bike. Looking around, I have noticed that the mountain bikes use the 2-hole SPD style pedal while the road bikes typically have the longer 3-hole style. Why is that? Is there an advantage to using the 3-hole type on the road bike as opposed to the 2-hole type? I've heard that the larger platform of the road pedals is better, but if the entire shoe is stiff--doesn't the shoe sole become the pedaling platform?
the 2 hole cleats are SPD's and the 3 hole is look compatible.. Most shoes come with both of these as a standard.. The type of cleat used is dependent on the pedal system you use..
But I wanted to know if there was an advantage to using the Look/SPD-SL on the road rather than the SPD that is so ubiquitos on the mountain bike--for instance.
To answer the OP's question: the idea that large 3-bolt cleats are better than their 2-bolt competitors is left over from the days before cycling shoes had really stiff soles. If you've got a good shoe, it almost doesn't matter what the cleat looks like. For the sake of simplicity, I use SPD shoes and pedals on all of my road, touring, and mountain bikes.
Here's my semi-newbie explanation, which should be good enough for the internet.
The 2 hole and smaller cleat for mountain biking makes it easier to have treads on the shoe so you can get traction when you have to walk or carry your bike. Road bike shoes don't need tread, so the bigger cleat is used. I was told the bigger cleat is a little more stable, even though the shoe is stiff, and less chance for hot spots on your feet. Yes, the shoe does become the platform, but it is not as stiff as the pedal.
I used campus pedals that came on my hybrid with the 2-hole cleats when I first bought cycling shoes. Later, I switched to the 3 hole bigger cleats and got shimano road pedals. I like the bigger cleats better. They do feel more solid, I think it is because the contact area is larger. And the big cleat, road pedals are easier to clip in my second foot without looking for me.
What I was told is that in theory the Road-style pedal allows for more torque to be applied, and for the pedal to be a bit more lightweight. MTB pedals are more designed to shed dirt/mud, and to be durable - so they're heavier.
Again, this is what I was told, and I also know several people who use MTB SPD's on everything, including road bikes. I'm a huge fan of the MTB SPD's, personally, particulary the Shimano PD-M520's.
When I asked this question the answer was:
The larger platform on the road pedals are more comfortable over very long rides as they spread the weight.
However another thing that comes into play is mud shedding which I presume smaller cleats are better at.
I moved from road pedals to mtb pedals coz i needed a better commuting pedal. I noticed a difference in transfer of power. I thought I wouldn't but I did. Not sure if this is down to different type of pedal, or a different type of shoe (my road shoe is a specialized bg comp, the mtb one is a bg sport).
Also, I'm not claiming there WAS a differnce in power, but it FELT like there was, and the feeling was noticeable.
Thanks Ben and MrClyde.
I was told that the larger platform allowed for a better transfer of energy, but assuming that the shoes are completely connected with little play, to me it didn't matter if the cleat size was the size of a wallet or the size of a dime.
The weight concern--ah...that makes sense to me (perhaps more sense if we weren't Clydes anyway).
I was pondering this because of the recent store sales, I was wondering if it would be a good idea to swap my M520's on the road to another style.
Daven--that makes sense assuming some type of flex in the shoe. But I have seen some really stiff SPD shoes with very little compliance that offered less flex than the road shoe.
Mustang--that very well may be, if the other responses are, indeed, true.
Thanks for the responses. With what I'm hearing, my experience is beginning to make better sense now. After a century, I couldn't wait to rip my shoes off. I'm wondering if the 3-hole types would allow for more comfort. Interestingly, their are some road-focused egg-beaters out there, and those have very little platform to begin with.
Shameless Hijack-----
Where do you ride your MTB around San Diego? I am planning on going to Elfin Forest this Saturday, and in the future Daley Ranch, Mission Trails, Lake Hodges. Any good spots not to miss?
While road riders would like you to believe that their pedals are much lighter, there often isn't a lot of difference. My $35 Shimano M520 SPD pedals weigh 370 grams. $120 Look Keo Classic road pedals weigh 338 grams and $110 Shimano 105 road pedals weigh 322. If you spent a similar amount of money on an SPD pedal you could get something in the same ballpark, weight-wise (M540 @ $90 = 346g, for instance). And lets not forget that Crank Brothers EggbeaterMTB pedals are super-light (Eggbeater SL @ $110 = 266g)! You could spend $300 on road pedals (e.g. Shimano Dura-Ace) and still not match that weight...
Shameless hijack answer!
Lately, we've been riding around the easy trails in Chula Vista. I've heard some nice things about the Penesquitos trail and should be trying that sometime (assuming the weather cooperates).
I spent $130 on Keo Carbons. They weigh 230g. What's your point?
Honestly, the weight difference is pretty insignificant in the scheme of things, but 'MTB' pedals, on AVERAGE, weigh MORE than 'road' pedals.
2-bolt SPDs are plenty capable. 3-bolt cleats have a wider physical structure and DO support the shoe sole better....that is...less lateral flex. With an extra fixturing point, theoretically they would also be less prone to slip or twist.
What are 'good' shoes anyhow? Are they shoes with absolute zero flex front to back? Side-to-side?
To me, 'good' shoes are comfortable, and when paired with my cleats/pedals....remain that way.
I think it is like a lot of things in cycling, there may not be a scientific reason, but some things feel different than others. Using the same shoes, I used the 2 bolt then switched to the 3 bolt. The 3 bolt feel more "solid". By this, I mean it feels like more of the pedaling effort goes to propeling me forward. This was with the same shoe.
So I like the 3 bolt, and for me they are easier to clip in as well.
I, personally, can't tell the difference between my 370g M520 SPDs and the 270g Crank Brothers pedals they replaced so I'd suggest the OP not focus on weight as a deciding factor when selecting a clipless pedal system.
If I continuing being on the north side of 200 pounds, there is no way that the extra grams in the pedal would matter much to me.
I was just wondering if there was a functional difference among the pedals for the road vs offroad application.
I have Egg Beaters on all my bikes. I only need one pair of shoes that way, and mountain bike shoes are much easier to walk in when stopping to take a break on road rides. I do notice a difference between the stiffnes of the cheap shoes I started with and the pair I have now though.
I like mtb shoes and pedals but I can't keep up with the guys that wear road shoes and pedals so it doesn't matter.:D
i can't keep up with 5 year olds on tricycles so it really doesn't matter to me!
The biggest functional difference is being able to walk normally in mtb shoes.
Also for weight savings, I think most of the saved weight would be on the shoes and not the pedals.
One other advantage of the SPD pedals for a road bike is that there are quite a few pedals available that have an SPD mount on one face, and the other is a traditional flat pedal face, for use with regular shoes. That doesn't really matter on a bike that you will always ride fully geared up, but it is handy to be able to just hop on the bike with regular shoes on if I'm just on a short jaunt with my five-year-old.
(There may be similar pedals for look-compatible cleats, but I don't recall seeing them.)

In the summer 2017, this Director's Internship placement is also part of the Schaeffer Fellows program. Read more about that program here.
The Office of Congresswoman Elise Stefanik offers an 8 to 10 week internship program during the summer that provides students with a unique educational opportunity while witnessing firsthand the public policy process and the inner workings of our United States Congress.
The Director's Internship program is designed to give students an understanding of the core functions of a congressional office, including responding to constituent inquiries, researching legislation, and assisting in the development of public policy. Interns are encouraged to observe the legislative process by attending committee meetings, hearings, and briefings. Other duties include but are not limited to leading tours of the U.S. Capitol, assisting the legislative staff with policy research and projects, observing debate on the House Floor, and preparing materials for Congressional briefings.
Interested internship applicants must possess strong written, verbal and computer skills. The ideal candidate should have a minimum Grade Point Average of 3.0.
Congresswoman Stefanik represents New York's 21st District in the House of Representatives where she is a Member of both the Armed Services Committee and the Committee on Education and the Workforce. She is a graduate of Harvard College and the youngest woman ever elected to Congress.
2015 Intern Reflection:
My experience in Congresswoman Elise Stefanik's office has demonstrated to me what work in a Washington, D.C. congressional office entails. After interning in my Congressman's district office in the past, I expected the same type of experience in a Washington, D.C office. Although some of the experiences are similar, like fielding calls from constituents, my internship in this office gave me the opportunity to focus on the public policy process as well as respond to constituent inquiries. In the Congresswoman's office everyone works hard together so that the people's well beings are always kept in mind.
Because of Congresswoman Stefanik and her staffers, I have had the best possible experience in this office. The work environment in Congresswoman Stefanik's office is wonderful. The staffers are friendly, fun and always willing to lend a hand or teach a lesson. Being proactive and seeking out projects is the best way to gain the most out of your internship. I have had the opportunity to research legislation spanning from labeling of foods to trade. In addition to office work, I have had the unique opportunity to attend committee meetings, briefings, hearings and interesting lectures, including ones by presidential nominees. I've enjoyed leading tours of the U.S. Capitol to the district's constituents, as well. I would definitely recommend this internship to any future student who wishes to gain greater insight into the inner workings of our United States Congress first hand.

Century Securities

Does anyone have any expericence with Century Securities? Apparently they are the independent arm of Stifel. Thanks.
I looked at them about a year ago when doing due dilligence on independent platforms. They are the independent arm of Stifel. The organization and platform seemed solid. Particularly for meat and potatoes business. Howewver, they didn't seem tremendously committed to the independent channel, or at least weren't putting much effort into it. They also weren't a good fit for my particular business model which orients around a discretionary portfolio model. They didn't make my first cut, and I did not visit the home office, etc. Hope that helps.

To all you Wonder Ones, my beloved Dear Readers, and all your favorite people and critters (even those taking their sled rides in Heaven) —
A most cozy and very Happy New Year.
To all you Wonder Ones, my beloved Dear Readers, and all your favorite people and critters (even those taking their sled rides in Heaven) —
A most cozy and very Happy New Year.
The Winter Solstice on December 22 was rained out this year here on the shores of the Long Island Sound, but Christmas Eve was spectacular!
So Top Cat and I did our annual Praising of the Light champagne and sun set watching ceremony on December 24, and it was 72 degrees, which is why even though I am three weeks away from my 60th birthday, I am wearing my go-to T-shirt on this wintery eve!
Yes, it was warm, but cloudy — that's the sun, glowing from within that dense stratocumulus, above — and we did not expect much…but as the twilight fell at approx. 4:31 pm, this happened:
And then this happened:
(Above, the Manhattan skyline is to the far left, and that's New Rochelle at center-right.)
And there it goes, the light from our own gorgeous star departing from our skies on its way to Cleveland, and Sioux Falls, and Coeur d'Aline, and Tacoma. There goes the sun, Welcome in the Winter Light!
While I have your attention, I feel obliged to tell you one last short tale from my trip to France two weeks ago, and it's about the space-tree (see above) on display at Galleries lafayette (the famous department store in Paris):
Yesterday I found a newsletter (of sorts, above) from my visit to the shop while I was unpacking my haul of ephemera from my journey, you know, the usual assortment of ticket stubs, museum pamphlets, cafe coasters, phone numbers of gents met in cafes, etc., that one tends to accumulate whilst vagabonding. And yes, we already know that the Galleries went with a [weird] Christmas From Another Planet theme this year…but we did not know that there were robots involved:
This stuff is printed in light gray ink so I did the best I could to enhance it so you can read it — and because I know my mother is going to complain that the print is too small to read I'm going to repeat that you can click onto the photo itself to get an enlarged (full screen) version…you might have to click twice depending on whatever elves are in charge of your computer machine, not that I think this is actually worth reading, but I take my obligations as your Paris corespondent seriously so I must let you choose to read, or not read:
How about we nominate this as the Worst Christmas Story Ever?
Now, as I mentioned above, my 60th birthday is happening in three weeks, on Jan. 16.
I am bracing myself. Birthdays that end in Zero are always a challenge to one's identity, but this one is walloping me. Of course my dear Top Cat has something special planned, which may or may not include a tiger, so even the whiff of big cat-titude almost makes it worth it, this shedding of old/youngness for young/oldness. But we will have to wait until The Day to be sure.
In the meantime, this is how I am welcoming in this new phase of Vivianness:
I am ditching my ratty, falling apart, 15-year old address book for this:
I've been putting off this task for several years, but I came across this spiffy book at Barnes and Nobel and finally the time was NOW.
15 years ago, I was not married to Top Cat (or to anybody). I was not living on Long Island, I was not writing books, and I was years away from picking up a paint brush! I did not have a computer or a saving account, and I was still drinking martinis. Of the ten cats that were living with me at the time, there is only one left — dear little Coco, who is rather frail these days and spends most of her life snoozing on her special heating pad bed.
Ah, there are so many memories in an old address book. The names of editors I used to write for, back when newspapers and magazines paid for writing…that fling in London whose name I never would have remembered…Stephen King's home address (?)…"Mr. Lucky" in New Orleans (nice Indian guy who ran a great souvenir shop on Decatur Street)…the lady who runs the Penguin Encounter program at Mystic Aquarium…
…a list of places to meet English guys (above), which (as my note says), I got on April 1, 2002 when I went to the British Consul to sign the condolence book on the event of the death of the Queen Mother. (I did like the Queen Mother and all but hey, life is for the living, as they say, and to the 2002 version of me, English guys made life worth living.) The Red Lion is still going strong, and it looks like NW3 closed shortly after I checked it out, and the Sporting Club closed in 2005.
There's also the card from the guy who ran a sky diving business:
I have obliterated all identifying info because I just Googled this guy and I don't want to blab any more about him because of an unfortunate incident involving the death of two skydivers in 2010 — he was a good guy, and gave me his home contact, and I used to be the kind of person who thought I'd go sky diving one day.
(Part of me is thinking that in 2000, I was 45 years old…isn't that kind of old to be bar hopping with Brits and thinking about jumping out of planes when you couldn't even stand to look out the windows when you were at Windows on the World in the old North Trade Tower…ohhhhhhhh….right….that's gone, too…..)
Oh well, so much for maturity: For now I am holding onto the contact info of three people who, as I reach the sagacious age of 60, I may or may not want to still get even with.
I don't think I'll ever remember why I needed the phone and address for the Ferret Rescue of Westchester, but isn't running into that kind of thing exactly why updating a very old address book is such a nostalgic and annoying thing to do?
In all, bet that less than 20% of the names and numbers in my old address book made it into my new one.So, Yay! I have lots of room for new friends! And isn't that something to get happy about? No matter how old you are?
This is both a rhetorical question, and a moral to the story of The Old and the New Address Book. Because I am writing this post on New Year's Eve Day and I think that having a new address book, cleared of all old business (mostly), ready for filling up with all kinds of new amigos and idiocies, seems like a good mindset to have for 2016.
Happy, happy, happy New Year to you all, my Dear Readers and Friends.
Well, Dear Readers, here we are once again, leaving the darkness behind as we head into the light of Winter — and here is my 2015 ChrisHanuKwanSolstice wish for you:
I wish for you a light-filled life of whim-fulfillment and ice-cold champagne, random kindness and loving serenity in 2016.
And, because I know how many new readers find this little blog every week, this gallery is for you:

I wish you happy holidays, Dear Readers,
and a joyful new year!
Meet me back here on
January 16, 2015
when this blog re-boots for further mountain-making from the molehills of life and art here on the shores of the Long Island Sound.
The thing I'm most looking forward to about my new blog is getting serifs. Oh, how I have missed my serifs on this lousy Atahualpa theme. In 2015 it will be Times New Roman all the way. You have no idea how happy this will make me. Happier than playing Twister with Ryan Gosling, that's how happy my new serifs will make me.
Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall
ChrisHanKwanSolstice love for all.
Happy Holidays, everyone.
For this year's holiday card I did a four-panel ode to the four seasons:
Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue is a good recipe for art, too…I took two of my favorite paintings of the beautiful Long Island Sound in Winter from my first book When Wanderers Cease to Roam and I added new paintings of my own backyard in Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter again to give a panorama of the entire year that begins and ends with a celebration of this dreamy time of year when we give ourselves a new beginning, a fresh start, a whole new energy to create, to accomplish, and to share the best of ourselves. Right?
I do hope all you who put your names on my list enjoyed receiving your 2012 ChrisHanuKwanSolstice card — I had to make it special this year, for all your kind reviews of Le Road Trip on Amazon and Goodreads. Merci Mucho to you all, and since we've have a lot of new readers joining us I thought I'd show my gallery of ChrisHanuKwanSolstice cards from the past:
2007 — Wanderers in the Wonders
2008 — Comforts of the Season
2009 — Long Night's Moon on the Long Island Sound
2010 — Praising the Light
2011 — All is Calm, All is Bright
Have a wonderful holiday, everybody, and a fabulous Sostice, and a happy happy New Year —
and I'll see you back here on January 4, 2013!
Solstice Day dawned clear and dry here on the shores of the Long Island Sound. A good day to make our annual pilgrimmage to the south shore of the Sound, and say our thanks to the great DoG for this wonderful Season of Light.
We drove to our favorite spot on the North Shore of Long Island and on the way, we passed this bit of graffiti. Note to self: Find Out What's Up With That.
( I did call the guy who owns this building, a marble import buisness on a busy main road here on the North Shore of Long Island. I asked him "Do you know what that means?" His exact words were, "I haven't gotten to the bottom of that yet".)
Back to the pilgrimage to Praise the Solstice.
We arrived on our sweet Solstice beach around 3:45 PM. Top Cat opened a bottle of champagne, and I tossed bits of pretzel into the air for the sea gulls.
Our Long Island gulls seemed pensive, basking in the rosy glow of the fading daylight.
They also seemed to enjoy spreading their wings to gather up the heavy golden motes of light that were glowing everywhere.
I know the feeling.
I know the feeling.
I'm writing this on Thursday, Dec. 22, the first day of Winter. So you know what that means:
Welcome to the Halcyon Days!
What's the Halcyon Days, you ask?
Halcyon is a name for a bird of Greek legend which is commonly associated with the kingfisher. The phrase comes from the ancient belief that fourteen days of calm weather were to be expected around the winter solstice—as that was when the halcyon calmed the surface of the sea in order to brood her eggs on a floating nest.
OK. Maybe it's too much to expect whole days of Halcyon this holiday season. Well then, how about a moment of Halcyon, here and there?
And that was the idea behind my ChrisHanuKwanSolstice card this year, which I call:
All is calm. All is bright.
There was another component to my ChrisHanuKwanSolstice card this year, a message that I put on the inside to remind you all to Go Easy in 2012:
Some of you may recognize this is my little joke on the very famous poster from WWII England:
Right. Pay attention at the back, and no slouching.
Keep Calm and Carry On was the third in a series of World War II posters drawn up by the UK Ministry of Information in order to boost the morale of the British people by passing on a message from King George VI. The posters were a stark white text on a red background, with the only image on the poster being the royal crown of George VI.
The first two posters, "Your Courage, Your Cheerfulness, Your Resolution will Bring Us Victory" and "Freedom is in Peril" were widely printed and distributed. However, the third poster, which carried the simple message "Keep Calm and Carry On" although printed, was never distributed, as it was intended only if invasion was imminent.
At the end of the war, the posters were collected up and pulped. It is believed that only two original posters out of a print run of over a million survive to this day.
The story would have ended there were it not for Stuart and Mary Manley, who run a bookshop called Barter Booksin Northumberland. (Yay bookstores!) Whilst sorting through a box of old books, they found one of the few surviving original copies of the 'Keep Calm and Carry On' poster. They liked it so much that they had the poster framed and placed near the till in their shop.
They soon found that customers were very keen on the poster – even to the point of asking if they could buy it! So, Stuart and Mary started selling and printing facsimilie copies of the poster. The rest, as they say, is history…
In the nine years since 2000 the poster has become world famous, having been mentioned in news articles, on TV and having been seen in many disparate places from country pubs to the Houses of Parliament.
The preceding text was brought to you courtesy of a website, where I also got my "Shine On" poster:
Have a great Holiday, everyone. Go dance by the light of your ChrisHanuKwanSolstice dream.

Written by tattoodiy
Began to enter the tattoo art realm, the most direct want to know is, of course,
tattoo needle
and the relationship between the skin! First of all, let's talk about this critical issue. We all know that tattoo is to use a tattoo needle destruction of skin wound, tattoo ink through the wound infiltration of the skin layer and precipitation under displayed in the skin of the graphics. The needle in the deep and shallow is often a common question and explore the key!
Since contact tattoo art, have seen a lot of different tattoos techniques, a variety of ways, I slowly through the look and feel with their own experience, tried find depth is not absolute, but by the method of the artist's points, can be roughly divided into the following two forms:
Deep skin layer thorn method: using this way tattoo artist, sting when the needle is deeper, more than about 2 mm is even faster to 5 mm deep, they will paint as much as possible into deep skin layer, the expression of color rendering will be very thick, but because of the skin to endure a deeper larger damage, skin layer will be damaged seriously, so that the later formation of wound scab, this layer of scabby skin is metabolic regeneration, and change the layer on the skin pigment will be off and because of this, this method is at the bottom of the pigment precipitation, that is to say, healing and change of skin will wear off some deposit in the surface layer of paint, as a result, thorn must be deep enough, when the pigment must be heavy enough, if the depth is not enough or not enough quantity of pigment infiltration, the skin after scabby, recovery and avi, will find that all drop light, or uneven shades, so must be deep enough and pigment infiltration enough. The deep layer of skin sting method usually used in color works or single black need very dark heavy color. But some tattoo artist in the same light color performance in this way, they will just paint diluted into a very light color and in the same way. This method has the advantage of colour and lustre is uniform, having a thick texture, good weight of defect is color rendering is separated by a layer of no new skin pigment precipitation, and make it look have a joyful feeling.
Shallow skin layer thorn method: this method depth in the following 3 mm, almost all feature is wound healing when only a thin layer of skin, because the skin damage is small, this way the tattoo artist, use a needle to the way a bit like the sketch drawing that kind of "pen pressure" feeling, will focus on the needle and skin tactility to measure the depth of fit, most of the pigment precipitation in shallow layer of skin, this way must be very careful, if the skin damage is too severe and one thousand scabby, restored, what pigment may all have no. This method has the advantage of color rendering is surface, after his recovery seems to be just good little difference, no deep skin method of mist, the disadvantage is that color is not enough thick, the weight of the texture is poor, the shallow layer of skin sting method usually used in single work of black, because black itself has the advantage of the dark, don't need to sting too deep, rendering is already very good.
I discovered that these two method's tattoo artist will become a habit, argues that one of their own, so if a beginner in don't understand the situation, looked at the two different thrust method, often lost heart and doesn't know what to do? , of course, each have each advantages, to focus on key points of the understanding it, one of the few senior outstanding artist will use two kinds of different method, know the advantages and disadvantages, and take the best, but strictly speaking, no certain depth, basically see yourself from experience and perception to the way to use the probe can, may be able to create the performance of the update method, be sure to delve into why, not to test.

Promotional Biscuits & Cookies
Custom biscuits might not be the first thing that you think of for a promotion, but they're definitely a popular choice. A natural partner with your favourite beverage, used at functions, meetings and conventions promotional biscuits have a range of uses in the marketing and sales environment. Supplied with custom branding for employee enjoyment in the workplace the promotional biscuits range includes the classic flavour combinations that you have to choose from will be fun to hand out to kids and kids at heart, and will ensure that people remember your company.
Promotional biscuit tins and sealed single serve biscuit packs with logo branding make for great holiday gifting ideas, gifts for employees, and even a way to connect with colleagues and associates so that they remember you. The packaging can be customised with your logo or company information in full colour or any style you like, as well. Marketing is always better when it tastes good. Australia's best range of promotional packaged biscuit styles.
Promotional Biscuits Create Connections With Clients
The great Australian tradition of morning tea is an ideal way to add a moment of communion and personal connection to a meeting or event. The range of promotional biscuit styles available here are ideal for external events and all come in a range of flavours, ingredient styles. Combine these advantages with individual packaging which makes hygiene and freshness fundamental components of the biscuit products and you have a product offering with almost universal appeal.
Combine the advantages of offering your business contacts a tasty treat which goes well with their favourite beverage and you create a moment of opportunity when a conversation or exchange of ideas can bear fruit. As a natural break in a sales discussion, as a way to engage potential buyers at a retail promotion or in a services industry office when clients come calling the opportunity which promotional biscuits provide can enhance the personal aspects of a transaction and encourage each side of a deal to look towards what it is that drives mutual motivation.
From chocolate chip through to plain, unadulterated recipes there are many different cookie styles which ensures there's a favourite on the serving plate for every class of potential consumer. Take a mix of the best of the menu or alternatively avoid a scramble for the most favoured flavours by offering the same style of promotional biscuit to all comers.
Both cookies and biscuits are sharable items, which causes them to attract individuals no matter where they may be placed. A tin or box of biscuits on a desk or table space will cause interested individuals to flock to the area in order to try one of the treats, and when branding is placed on these items, one can be sure that it will be seen.
In terms of marketing, cookies and biscuits can be appreciated and used effectively by a vast array of different industries, and from those in the confectionary business to those in education, a logo placed on something sweet is certain to garner attention. A brand can even display a box or tin of branded cookies or biscuits on a table at a trade show or conference event in order to draw in crowds to further investigate their brand, or they could hand distribute them to interested consumers at a community event.
These snacks will also travel very well, and this can lead to a brand getting the word out on a much larger scale. As a recipient walks around an event, or goes about their daily travel, they could be enjoying a branded cookie or biscuit that others will be able to notice as they go about their business.
Promotional Biscuits Manufacture & Branding
The manufacture and materials used in promotional cookies and biscuits will depend on the varieties chosen by a brand. Packs of single flavour biscuits and cookies are available, as well as packs that utilise the element of variety. A variety pack may have any number of types and flavours of cookies, as well as biscuits, while a single flavour pack will consist of treats all of the same type. Fortune cookies, chocolate cookies, shortbread cookies, cracker biscuits, butterscotch cookies, and many other flavour varieties are available to choose from.
The packaging for these products will vary depending on amount, confection type, and variety. Noodle boxes made of sturdy, yet flexible, paper like cardboard can contain fortune type cookies or a variety of different cookies, and these lightweight promotional boxes are exceptionally easy to carry around during an event. For presentation purposes, a tin may be more appropriate to give a professional display.
Whether a box or tin is chosen, or a brand may prefer single pack cookies to display in another vessel, each cookie is individually wrapped in sanitary plastic to provide optimal share-ability.
Promotional Cookies & Biscuits Case Study
A school sports team was trying to spread awareness about their need for a new playing field, and drum up excitement for a fundraiser they had been planning. At a local community event, the team set up a table showing photos of their current field as well as information about their upcoming fundraiser, and offered branded cookies to visitors that bore the team's name, logo, and fundraiser date. During the fundraiser a week later, the team experienced an impressive attendance, and many guests stated that they learned of the event from the cookies they had received.
Shipping & Distribution
Because both cookies and biscuits may break during the shipping process, these are items that are most effective when distributed by hand, and their small size makes them easy to carry.

Traitor (1.2)
Roj Blake is on the run. He has a ship, but the ship has plans of its own. He has a crew, but who are his friends and who are his enemies?

Mud oven losing heat through base layer
I live up in Winnipeg and built an earth oven this past year. It developed a couple of cracks (3/16 - 1/4"). I am wondering about using it in winter. I probably wouldn't be using it in temperatures of less than -15F (-25C). Will I risk severely cracking my oven if I use it in really cold weather?
I found this on another list and thought there may be some here who would be interested to know that Kiko Denzer and Hannah Field are on tour promoting their simple designs for earth oven building and naturally leavened breads. The schedule is as follows:

My best friend was shot and killed by her ex back in 1990. She was only 34 and my 16 year old daughter was spending the night with her daughter when the event took place. Kids were in danger, but thank God they were not hurt badly other than my daughter suffered a terrific black eye when she caught glass and BB's from him shooting through the door with a shotgun. It was a shocker I never quite got over. I knew her ex and his family as long as I did her and her family since grade school. The community was stunned with disbelief. Things just don't happen like that in small towns is truly a myth.

My mom had stroke, my dad had high blood pressure, my bro had diabetes and i have a horrible, unsatisfied and mean mouth hubby who constantly bad mouth me in front of my kids. He is never satisfied whatever I do. Luckily my parents and bro are still by my side. I love them very much.

There have been some rough times but probably the worst is experiencing a brief episode of "surgical awareness" during a C-section. The pain was horrendous and I was paralyzed from anesthesia so couldn't tell them I was feeling the surgery.
It only lasted seconds but left a mark. I am petrified of having surgery now.

To say this happened directly to me would be selfish, but it was the worst thing to impact me. My mother was diagnosed with Lung Cancer in June of last year. She has never smoked and showed no symptoms. When it was found, the damage was beyond repair. It had moved from one lung to another and three more tumors in her spine- one pinching her spinal chord. To avoid the potential of paralysis, she was immediately treated with very heavy doses of radiation. Then chemo. It was a grueling first 3 months. While I will never be able to fathom the thoughts she deals with everyday (yes she is still fighting) being the daughter of a cancer patient is the most mentally excruciating experience I have ever encountered. Aside from the obvious trauma of seeing my mother deteriorate in front of me, I was ostracized by my friends. As I think any breathing human being would endure a slew of emotions, I was extremely angry in the beginning. Then I was sad. But rather than having my friends to support me, they told me my uncontrollable public display of emotions was embarrassing and intolerable. They cut me off. I spent the better half of six months during her treatment alone, with my 4 year old nephew (who was adopted by my parents from my brother and now unable to be cared for by them) watching my mother slip further and further away from me. Of all my friends, she was the best. So when I would complain to her about my friends being crappy, I couldn't do that anymore but I couldn't turn to my friends either. In the months, I have learned how to cope, however, the worst is yet to come. As if this hasn't been miserable enough... I sit here waiting for worse... and then I think about her thinking... which is the worst. Cancer is not selective or merciful. It makes a victim of everyone involved. No human soul should ever feel this agony day in and day out.

Dear brittvan
In 1962, I lost my father.This is the worst thing happen to me.Because on that days, we-- four- my elder brother, elder sister,myself and my young sister are small children. The very unexpected death of my father put my mother in great trouble. Being a house wife who have very limited contact with out side world, does not know what to do and do not know how to look after the children. No one to help.
My brother, left his school studies and decided to join in a wood company, to help mother. His wages only the income sources of our home. With the help of local co-operative Bank, we bought two cows and managed to improve our financial position.
The insecurity, insult from others are too un-bearable to us. Even the close relatives tried to cheat us and tried to make the land and house belong to us to their possession .
Anyhow, we managed all this.
But that dark days are the worst days in our life.

Volver. The title of this latest and highly enjoyable comic melodrama from beloved Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar translates as Coming Back as in "back from the dead," referring to the amusingly matter-of-fact resurrection of Irene (Carmen Maura), an old grandmother who refuses to let mortality get in the way of unfinished familial business. For the filmmaker, Volver represents a return of other sorts as well: to his childhood home of La Mancha, to lighter material after Bad Education, and to All About My Mother's Penelope Cruz, who, cast here as Irene's feisty, airport-cleaning daughter Raimunda, delivers her most loose-limbed and endearing performance. In fact, the film's playful ode to female resilience men are literally disposable here owes enormously to the dynamic ensemble work of five gifted female comics, all fully deserving of their special award at the Cannes Film Festival. As expected in an Almodóvar movie, the cinematography, flaunting every conceivable shade of red, is eye-poppingly vibrant. (Friday, October 20, 8 p.m., Parker Playhouse; 121 minutes.)

text: This is my first year getting into the business, and I have landed a few clients already. But my comment is about all the posts complaining spending too much time on quotes. Before I became a farmer, I worked as an estimator in the commercial construction industry. I spent anywhere from 4 hours to 2 weeks on a quote, and my success rate was around one out of every 30 or so. So don't get discouraged. It is the same in every industry, and if you put in the work, you will eventually reap the benefits.
