PRESS RELEASE: March 20, 2007

Ty Howard Schedules Book Release, Signing and
Discussion for Saturday, March 31, 2007
Knots Free Publishing, a Baltimore, Maryland based independent book publisher, will host the release, signing, discussion and celebration of its first imprint: "Untie the Knots That Tie Up Your Life: A Practical Guide to Freeing Yourself From Toxic Habits, Choices, People, and Relationships," by Ty Howard, dynamic nationally renowned motivational speaker, and habits / relationships intervention specialist.
Baltimore, Maryland (Knots Free Publishing PR Division) March 20, 2007 -- The reviews are in, and fans are excited by the forthcoming release of Ty Howard's new self-help and empowerment book, "Untie the Knots That Tie Up Your Life" (ISBN: 978-0-9724040-0-6). The announcement of the official release date in November 2006 has earned its author something he says, "... will be more precious than royalty checks." It has afforded Howard the chance to meet with many fans to discuss the future of his writing and, in particular, the Untie the Knots ( trademarked ) book series.
Now, Knots Free Publishing, has agreed to host a book release, signing, discussion and celebration event on Saturday, March 31, 2007, at the AmeriSuites Hotel – Baltimore / BWI Airport, located at 940 International Drive, Linthicum Heights, Maryland 21090, hotel phone (410) 859-3366. The event will be held from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. and the public is encouraged to attend. Knots Free Publishing will have the honor of being the first company to join Howard in celebrating the release of his new destine to be a bestseller book.
Drawing heavily from his own life experiences with being tied up and bound down by anger, procrastination, poor time management, excuse making, doubt, toxic relationships, toxic habits and financial debt, Howard has brought to the world a process and philosophy that he hopes will help to bring freedom to people, relationships, and companies on all levels. A young boy who spent five of his early childhood years in foster care, raised by a single mother in a crime ridden neighborhood known as Cherry Hill in South Baltimore City, became a teenage father at 18, almost dropped out of high school, and joined the military—couldn't be responsible for a timely and empowering book like this, could he? Well, as Howard so eloquently allows the readers to discover, "a life with fewer knots becomes a significant life with greater potential." And, as we learn from Howard, "in life you may have been delayed—but you're rarely denied."
"There are a lot of easy-to-apply strategies and practical solutions for people, families, relationships, and companies on all levels," Howard likes to say. "Not just tied up Ty Howard. In many ways, we all seek freedom from the knots (obstacles or challenges) that have tied us up to the point where we feel stuck, overwhelmed, and at times suffocated."
To inquire about this or any of Howard's events, special appearances or speaking services, contact Ty Howard by e-mail at info at tyhoward.com. You may also reach him by telephone at (443) 982-7582.

India Charlotte♥
Definitely want to try the soap and glory kick ass concealer, it looks great! Fab post by the way.ReplyDelete
Kate// http://katerosexo1.blogspot.co.uk
Absolutely love the Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer, my absolute fave for daily use. I was really looking forward to getting the Nars concealer, a bit disapointed now I've read this! What didnt you like about it? I've seen waaaayyy too many beauty bloggers rave about it!ReplyDelete
I really want to try a new concealer as I always opt for the collection one! I'm going to take a look at a few of these xReplyDelete
TrudyJohanna x
I like the Maybelline one, but I recently purchased the NYX HD concealer in their lightest shade, and it's so pale that it's almost too light on me (which never happens for me!). I love it!ReplyDelete
Jenny // Mish Mosh Makeup
I absolutely love the Maybelline one! I have it in the "brightening" shade (I think that's what it's called) and it's perfect for under the eyes!ReplyDelete
Kendal // Life With Kendal
I don't have majorly pale skin, but I also find that finding the right shade for a concealer to use to cover blemishes can be super difficult.ReplyDelete
I love love love the Nars concealer.
I love the Barry M one for under the eyes and have been wanting to try the Nars one for ages but reading this has put me off a bit - my bank balance thanks you!ReplyDelete
Amy X
Call Me Amy
I really want to try out the Maybelline concealer - heard so many amazing things about it too. However, I'm not sure whether I love or hate the look of the applicator!ReplyDelete
Rachel | Beauty and the Bird / Win a MAC lipstick on my blog!
Hands down it's the Collection one. The colour's perfect and it's such a bargain. I do want to try the NARS one too though!ReplyDelete
Laura x FloraLooTwo
Nars Chantilly is my fave too as its the perfect colour for my skin, even collection lasting perfection goes orange on me! I've also found that Urban Decay Naked Weightless Concealer in Fair Neutral is the same shade as the Nars :) xReplyDelete
I really need to get a good concealer - the Maybelline one sounds fab! I never even knew soap and glory did makeup - wow!ReplyDelete
Steph - http://nourishmeclean.blogspot.com
Definitely agree about NARS, one of my favorites! I'm also loving UD's Naked concealer, great shades!ReplyDelete
I definitely want to try the S&G one- I love all their products.ReplyDelete
Claudia Harriet
What color of the maybelline concealer did you pick up? I first bought the shade "light" thinking it was the palest and it is not I now have "fair" and it is considerable paler than the light shade. It might be worth a look:)ReplyDelete
These are some great choices, if you like the NARS but want a drugstore dupe the Maybelline FIT me works just a well and great coverage. Rimmel 2 in 1 perfect match, is another good one that I find is great for us paler folk. What a great post thanks for sharing !ReplyDelete
Katie | http://ktmcgworld102.blogspot.ca
Hi Katie! These all look like great concealers. I would also have to recommend giving Rimmel London Match Perfection Concealer and Highlighter a try. Like you, I also have fair skin and I've been very impressed with the coverage and consistency of this product. Just started following your blog and I really like your posts so far :)ReplyDelete
I'm really wanting to try the NARS concealer. The MUFE concealer is one of my favorite concealers, I used to wear it all the time but sometimes I forget to use it.ReplyDelete
♥ // Perfect Shade of Mauve
It's funny how difficult it is to find makeup if you happen to be on either extreme of the skin tone spectrum. I really like MAC's Select Cover-Up in NW15; it seems to match my skin tone, and stays on nicely all day. On a slightly related note, have you ever tried any of the Jane Iredale foundations? It's the only brand I have ever been able to find that makes a foundation in a shade that looks natural on my skin. If you ever do another pale foundations post, it might be worth a try.ReplyDelete
I love the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind, especially the brightner shade!ReplyDelete
A Little Dose of Makeup
I would love to try the anti-age one as I also have heard so many youtubers talk about it!ReplyDelete
Check out my Sephora giveaway!
I absolutely love Hard Candy's Glamoflage for those pesky dark circles and spots - you only need a teeny tiny bit and it lasts all day! Plus it's cruelty free! Kat Von D's version is also amazing and vegan :)ReplyDelete
Such a great round up, as I struggle to find the perfect concealer for myself ever! :)ReplyDelete
I am mega pale myself, I will have to try the Soap and Glory concealer :)ReplyDelete
Lauren x | www.laurenapowers.blogspot.com
I love how yellow-toned the Soap & Glory one is!ReplyDelete
I love it when you do posts like this as I'm also super pale. I love Kick Ass and the Maybelline Age Rewind although I agree that I'd like it to be paler.ReplyDelete
My all time favourite concealer for both consistency, wear and a shade that's pale enough is Seventeen's Stay Time which I have sworn by for almost 2 years now but I don't hear enough people talking about it!
Emily // Beauty and Lifestyle Blog
I use concelears on daily bases to cover up blemishes so I would love to try that one from Make up forever but for the under eye area I always go with Mac's Pro longwear in NC15 :)ReplyDelete
I'm pale myself so this review really helped me out. Thanks for sharing Katie. XReplyDelete
I'm a Blogger for Semple Fashion Magazine and I've just started up my own blog! Comments, shares and follows are HUGELY appreciated and I will return all! Please check it out: www.4lleycat.blogspot.co.uk Thank you!!!
NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer and Maybelline Eraser Eye are my personal favourites. They never create, the really help to cover the dark circles and perfect for everyday use:)ReplyDelete
This is why I love your blog, because I'm very pale! My fave is the collection one too. Sounds like it's the one to stick to for now. XxReplyDelete
♥ Carly's Beauty Blog ♥
I wanted to try the Nars concealer but I already use the Collection Lasting Perfection one so if they're similar then maybe I won't! xReplyDelete
I love the Nars one and I use this concealer too!ReplyDelete
I like the sound of the Soap & Glory concealer, not too pricey either!ReplyDelete
Sara - She Who Is Short
I haven't tried any of these but heard so many good things about the Soap & Glory range!ReplyDelete
I am also quite pale. I have been wanting to try the NARS concealer for so long, but it definitely is pretty expensive. I do love the Make Up Forever concealer though!ReplyDelete
Becca | A Dash Of Becca
I love seeing posts like this because I have such pale skin as well and it's so hard to see what the colour will actually be on my skin. The Nars looks amazing and I will purchase the sheer glow foundation as well after seeing your other post about it.ReplyDelete

Many U.S. Companies Absent at WTO Talks
Many big businesses are passing on this week's World Trade Organization meeting in Hong Kong. Corporate America isn't expecting much benefit out of the trade talks.
RENEE MONTAGNE, host:
Many world leaders are in Hong Kong this week to take part in the World Trade Organization talks. One group is not there in force: big business. Traditionally, corporate leaders would attend such an event to promote their interests, but that's not happening nearly as much as it has in the past. NPR's Adam Davidson finds out why.
ADAM DAVIDSON reporting:
Whether they're selling toothpaste, nuclear power plants or advertising advice, just about every big US corporation is engaged in world trade, but they don't care that much about world trade talks, says Pietra Rivoli, author of "The Travels of A T-Shirt in the Global Economy."
Ms. PIETRA RIVOLI (Author, "The Travels of A T-Shirt in the Global Economy"): Corporate America is pretty bored, I think, with trade policy discussions in general, and I think they're probably even more bored with what's going on in Hong Kong.
DAVIDSON: This is a bit odd, since the WTO is where many of the world's trading rules are written, and those rules help determine how much money companies are able to make. But, Rivoli says, it doesn't look like this year's meeting is going to succeed. Past WTO conferences have yielded major advances for US corporations. They've dramatically cut tariffs, for example. This year, most observers expect little, if any, significant developments.
Ms. RIVOLI: Corporate America just doesn't have a lot of faith in the forward momentum of this process.
DAVIDSON: Why spend a lot of money lobbying government officials if you're not likely to get anything out of it? There are some companies taking an active interest; for example, large shipping concerns, like UPS, are trying to get more countries to reduce customs paperwork, so they can get packages in and out more quickly. But many business groups are taking a pass. Tom Donahue, president of the US Chamber of Commerce, told London's Financial Times that businesspeople are being too negative, too pessimistic. He wishes they would have some ambition and come to Hong Kong to fight for their interests. Adam Davidson, NPR News.

If you live on planet Earth and are interested minimally in technology, surely you know about Siri the command and control software via voice is the star of the iPhone 4S phone. Since then the idea of Cupertino is not new (the hands-free car, many home automation applications, the virtual hostess Anna from Ike …) That arises is why there is Zypr, a similar system (also performs oriented tasks such as Apple's toy) developed by the Japanese giant Pioneer … yes, Pioneer, really.
The peculiarities about Zypr is that it offers a free API service (you just need a user account to get your API key and start tinkering with it in your applications) and provides full connectivity to the major social networks (you know, Twitter, Facebook, Google +…) in a way transparent to the developer itself. That is, you can create, for example, a Twitter client in which you can update via voice as well as you can give voice commands such as 'Update my Twitter with "Engadget Dev Blog is the best development of the world"' quickly and easily … or at least it should be, another thing will be the reality, of course.
Ps on GitHub there is repository with a Zypr Java client if you want to some testing.

ZIONIST UNION head Isaac Herzog (second from right) and faction MKs Omer Bar-Lev (far left) and Amir Peretz (far right) stand on a Jerusalem hilltop yesterday for a briefing from Col. (res.) Shaul Arieli..
(photo credit: MARC ISRAEL SELLEM/THE JERUSALEM POST)
On a hilltop in Jerusalem's Shuafat refugee camp, with sweeping vistas of the western portion of the capital, opposition leader and Zionist Union head Isaac Herzog got right to the point on a windy Monday afternoon."There needs to be a disengagement between us and the Palestinians," Herzog said, "not by withdrawing from the territories, but by separating us physically, with security fences that should have been completed long ago, and with steps on the ground that would ease the tension dramatically."

This week sees the launch of not just one, but two books in my family. First to launch this week is 'The Girl and The Glim' – a graphic novella, by Doig and Swift to be launched at the Thought Bubble Festival in Leeds this weekend.
Here's a page from the book, which has been line-drawn by India Swift and coloured by Michael Doig, who are both artists based in Dublin with a background in design and animation.
So what can I learn from this other way of telling a story – one with hardly any words?
Well first, that the reader enjoys uncovering the story for himself. You have to look hard at the illustrations and take your time to spot all the subtle visual clues, as well as the more obvious expressions of the characters to get the most emotion from the story. That the clearer the storyline, the more I engage with it. That small details matter and are remembered by the reader ages after they appear, and that the strength of the supporting characters and the antagonists help the reader engage with the main character.
That the backgrounds really add something to the story and these can loom large, or be manipulated to enhance the action. I'd like to do more of this in my fiction – incorporate skewed ways of descibing settings, and make them (like Alice in Wonderland) expand or contract.
The tone in The Girl and the Glim is a limited palette which gives it a vintage feel. It is their language, and like my language in my fiction, it needs to stay consistent. Here's Bridgette finding her way to her new school (right).
More than anything though, in a book like this, the artwork has to be lush and ambitious, with enormous attention to detail in line and colour. I know how many hours it takes to produce something like this, and its impressive.
Of course I'm extremely biased, (proud Mum) but I found the layouts extraordinary, and the story touching. This is the first in a series, and I can't wait for the rest. I have my own signed copy, but you can find Doig & Swift this weekend on Table 59 at Leeds Town Hall. Here's a look at their regular Youtube channel showing how they work. And you can find their website here where you can also buy the book.

Chapter Twenty-One: From the Heart
"W-what? Did he just imply that he…?" Sakura asked. Her eyes widened, disbelief rushing through her body. She had stiffened at the sight of Uchiha Sasuke pulling Higurashi Kagome—the little bitch!—toward his body, and now she was not entirely certain she had heard him correctly.
Another Uchiha Sasuke Fan Club member took a tentative step backward, her mouth falling open. Tears began to form at the edge of her eyes, as a sudden cry escape from her throat. It attracted the attention of the rest of the fan club easily enough, and then she cried out in horror. "S-Sasuke-kun, he—!"
"No! No, he didn't!" Asuka suddenly snapped. She refused to believe that—!
"You heard it!" the original girl snapped back. "We all heard it!"
Mayu remained rooted in her spot, refusing to speak in fear that her voice would crack in anguish. Asuka, as usual, was just being an idiot. The stupid girl just could not bring herself to believe that Uchiha Sasuke had admitted to—to—!
Another girl suddenly broke out into sobs, dramatically shaking her head and throwing her face into her hands. She appeared to have broken down completely, reality sinking in, and it was clear that her actions were infectious. Other girls broke down beside her just as dramatically, wailing into their hands.
"S-stop it!" Asuka cried. "You just misunderstood him! Yeah!" The girl nodded quickly, trying to convince herself. "That's it! You just misunderstood him! He didn't actually say anything; you're all just assuming the worst! He's still—!"
"Oh, shut up, Asuka!" Mayu yelled, unable to stop the few tears that dripped from beneath her lashes.
"Hmhp." The Hyuuga Neji Fan Club member gazed about them in interest, a smirk lightening her features. Then, she said, "If I had known this was all it would take to make you all break down, I would have tried to make it happen a long time ago."
"This—" Sakura's eyes blazed suddenly, her ears hearing only what she wanted to hear at that point, "—this is all your fault."
"Um, excuse me?" Mizuki flipped her hair over her shoulder, before leaning her hip into the hand that she had placed upon it. Because, really, that was a bit too far. While she just loved to see them all fail miserably at obtaining Uchiha Sasuke's heart, she was not the type to purposely make another person cry.
"You just wanted Hyuuga Neji so much for yourself that you—you-!" Sakura shrieked. She could not control herself in that moment, as she was faced with the reality that Uchiha Sasuke, the boy she loved through and through, had set his sights on someone else. That while he knew he held her constantly bleeding heart, he had gladly taken the chance and crushed it between his beautifully cruel fingers.
Large, wet tears spilled down her cheeks immediately after.
"Oh, yes," Mizuki spat, "because I, clearly, have the godly ability to decide how and when someone will decide to start developing feelings for another person!" Her honey colored eyes took great pleasure in watching Sakura cry, as she added, "You're such an idiot, Sakura, you know that?"
"J-just, shut up!"
"And why should I?" Mizuki challenged. "It was about damn time that you were knocked off that high horse you've seated yourself on! Sasuke-kun! Sasuke-kun! Do you honestly think that just because you like someone, you're automatically better than everyone else?"
The other members of the Uchiha Sasuke Fan Club scowled at Mizuki's tone, but, silently, they all agreed with her statement. Sakura, since the moment she was forced into presidency by Ino's betrayal, had been a real pain. And even if it broke each and every heart, knowing their precious Sasuke-kun wanted the one person they tried so hard to keep him from, it was a delight to see her cry.
Blinded by anger, Sakura took a step toward the Hyuuga Neji Fan Club member. She had every intention of striking that superior scowl from her face, but a large, firm hand gripping her shoulder halted her movement. Glancing behind her, her emerald eyes wild, she deflated slightly when Iruka-sensei came into her vision.
"Sakura—" Iruka knew that he had to do something before violence broke out between the two girls, "—while I understand that you've always held strong feelings for Sasuke, sometimes, if you truly love that person, it is best to let them go."
Blinking through tears, the Uchiha Sasuke Fan Club members watched as Haruno Sakura suddenly flung herself at Iruka-sensei. She grabbed at his chuunin vest tightly, letting out a wail, before she began to sob loudly against him.
Iruka glanced down at the pink haired kunoichi-in-training sadly, as he said, "Violence never solves anything, Sakura."
"—I," her blush increased, as the boy seemed to subconsciously pull her closer to him by her waist, "well, I—"
"I knew it!" Naruto suddenly proclaimed. "I knew that it had to be you, you bastard! You were so fast to deny that you would given anything to, well, anyone, that I just knew it had to be you!"
The Uchiha boy chose to ignore the blonde, instead focusing on the beautiful blue depths staring up at him. After all, the idiot was just being as annoying as always. And, while it was obvious that his little act was meant to keep Kagome from knowing that he, himself, knew, he had stopped her from finishing her sentence.
Glancing away from his gaze, Kagome muttered, "Um…"
Stomping his foot, Naruto ignored the heated glare that the dark haired boy cast in his direction. "Damn it!" he shouted. "Will you two stop ignoring me? I exist, damn it!"
Shifting her gaze nervously, Kagome put her hand on Sasuke's chest and pushed a little. His proximity was making it difficult to think, especially after he had confessed to having given her the cute little nin-cat charm she'd found on her desk nearly a month ago. "Um," she bit her lip, "I'm really sorry, Naru—"
"First—!" Naruto pouted, "—you're all like, 'Let's ignore poor little Naruto, my best friend, and train together, Sasuke~! I know I totally promised him, but you are just oh, so cute!' And now you're both all like, 'You're so cute! No, you're so cute! No, you're cuter!' Do you see yourselves? This is what you are becoming!"
"Oh, will you give it a rest, Naruto?" Inuzuka Kiba growled from the sideline. Once the blonde focused his attention on him, the Inuzuka allowed a smirk to cross his face. Then, wagging his eyebrows, he added, "They're just too focused on other things, y'know?"
"Ugh!" Naruto shivered, "Ew! That's my best friend you're talking about, ya pervert!"
"Hey, I'm not—!"
Deciding it was best to ignore Naruto at the moment, the Higurashi girl managed to use the distraction to remove herself from Sasuke's grip. His hand remained on her wrist, holding onto her, while he gazed down into her face, and she felt her heart give a small, impressive leap. "Uh," she swallowed, trying to fight off her blush. "T-thank you."
The contact left Sasuke in a much similar state, though his blush was not nearly as noticeable. "You're welcome," he muttered softly. The butterflies in his stomach were intense, and he suspected it was from the sheer joy he felt knowing Kagome had yet to pull away from his hand.
"I, well that is, I just—" It was hard to think, even when she turned her head away, knowing that he was focused so completely on her. Even when there was a horde of crying girls nearby; each and every one of them probably as confused as she was. "I just—" Boy, she was starting to feel really stupid. "Uh… thank you, again."
A smirk lifted the corner of his mouth, as he continued to watch her. She was so flustered it was adorable, and he did not see any reason to ruin the moment. Especially every time she forced the butterflies inside him to flutter wildly by simply glancing up from beneath her dark lashes.
The familiar burning sensation rushing through her, as his dark eyes gazed upon her with the same intensity as when he had frightened away his fan club, Kagome felt her mouth open silently. Her blush spread a little further, if that was possible, and she finally knew the answer she had been searching for, for the last few days. So, quietly, she stated, "…yes."
His brow dipped down, as confusion swam into his mind. "What?"
Lifting her gaze, she allowed her blue eyes to lock with his onyx colored pair. She smiled slightly, knowing then that what she felt was real, as she looked upon his handsome face. "Yes."
His eyes widened slightly, as realization dawned upon him. "A-are you—?" he asked, though his voice was a mere whisper.
She nodded, her smile brightening, and said, "Yes, I'm saying that—" she swallowed loudly, "—that I'll go on a date with you."
"Oh my god!" Ino squealed suddenly. "That is so damn cute!"
"Yeah, it's freaking adorable," Naruto said, making a face. He was happy for his friend, but he could have done without the lovey dovey, oh so happy smiles and glances. "Though, I've gotta say, that at least that stupid little charm is a lot better gift than the—"
Despite the large distraction Sasuke was proving to be, Kagome's head twisted suddenly in Naruto's direction when she realized that he was about to give away her secret. Her mouth opened to stop him, as her eye twitched wildly, and she felt the Uchiha boy stiffen at the look that crossed her face.
"—twenty something stalker photos of himself that Neji gave her!"
The Hyuuga Neji Fan Club member, Mizuki, made a face. "Stalker photos?" she mumbled.
"NAR-U-TO!" Kagome suddenly exploded.
Sensing the monster, despite her raging hiss, Naruto back peddled quickly. "Kagome, I didn't—!" He raised his uninjured hand in an attempt to appease her, but it was clear from the way she growled that that was impossible. "I swear I didn't!"
"I'll kill you!"
A high-pitched scream escaped the boy, and he turned tail the moment the Higurashi girl took a threatening step in his direction. "Run!" he yelled. "Everybody run for it!"
"Uuugh, my head," Naruto whined.
"Oh, shut up," Kagome mumbled. Did he honestly think that his pity act would work on her after what he did? After he—ugh—! "I should make you do my gardening for a year."
Scowling, Naruto glanced away from his best friend angrily. "Yeah, well, at least I'm not all giggly over some boy." After all he had done for her, and this was how he was going to be treated? Sure, she was completely and utterly oblivious and, thus, had no idea he had had a hand in anything, but still!
"I'm not the boy that turns himself into a girl in front of perverts for fun," Kagome replied, while huffing.
"Pft, they deserve it!"
"Doesn't change the fact," she said.
"You—!" puffing out his cheeks, Naruto squinted his eyes at her, "—You're impossible!"
Huffing again, the Higurashi girl merely turned her head away from him. He had been there when she received the envelope; he had helped her burn all the evidence; he had helped her avoid Neji for some time out of embarrassment; and he had said that he would never tell anyone. It had been a promise, damn it, and he broke it!
She had every right to be angry!
Knowing how stubborn the girl could be, Naruto released the air from his puffed up cheeks. "Look," he glanced away, "I'm sorry, ok?"
Pausing in step, she glanced over her shoulder at him. He refused to look at her, scowling, and she allowed a little bit of a scowl to form on her own lips. "You knew that I didn't want you to tell anyone," she reminded him softly. "It's embarrassing."
"Yeah, well, I've got a big mouth," Naruto reminded her.
Gazing upon her friend, Kagome felt her anger deflate a little. There had been countless times where he had almost given away her secret, yet she had been the one that stopped him each time. It was really just a matter of time before he finally let it slip. "I know…"
Catching her eye, Naruto asked, "You forgive me, right?"
"I guess," she replied. She definitely did not like it, but this was Uzumaki Naruto she was talking to. He was the most forgetful, loud mouth that she knew, yet that did not change the fact that he was her best friend. "I guess I'm sorry that I hit you earlier, too."
The blonde shinobi-in-training was definitely not too keen on her answer, either, but he supposed that it was the best he was going to get for now. It had been something pretty big that he had let slip, after all. And, while she would not say it, he could tell that it really bothered her from the way she was rubbing her arm.
The awkward silence settling in, Kagome kicked a small pebble beneath her foot.
"Hey," the blonde finally said. "Did you know I had this really awesome prank that I wanted to do?"
"You always have a really awesome prank that you want to do." A small smile worked its way onto her face at the thought, as she remembered the last one that ended with them both running wildly from a horde of Uchiha police. "And, besides, you'd better not say anything about it here. There might be Uchiha listening."
"Pft!" Naruto waved his hand. "I'm not afraid of a few Uchiha!"
"Are you sure?" she asked, grinning. "The last time we were almost caught, you looked like you might pee your pants."
"N-nuh uh!" he gasped. "And, besides, this prank is way cooler than that one!"
"Yeah!" Naruto grinned wickedly, as he turned on his heel and pointed toward the monument that could be seen from any part of the village. "I want to paint that!"
"You want to paint Hokage Mountain?" Kagome asked. She shuffled her feet, unsure of Naruto's current train of thought, since she had grown up with her grandfather spouting stories time and again about the monument. To throw paint all over it would be a disgrace, even if it was only a simple prank.
Naruto grinned, nodding. "And, you know, you have to help me!"
"Um, no?" Kagome laughed nervously.
"What?" Naruto scowled. "You have to help me, Kagome! Do you see my arm? I can't carry buckets by myself, and I probably won't be able to carefully propel myself far enough without your help."
"It's just," Kagome tried to reason with him, "that's Hokage Mountain."
"It's just a bunch of faces carved into the side of a mountain, Kagome," Naruto fought back. "I, personally, think that the paint will help spice it up a bit, y'know." He grinned suddenly, his eyes twinkling, as he added, "Or, maybe, you're afraid of getting caught by an Uchiha."
"Of course not!" she huffed.
"Which reminds me," Naruto chuckled, "when is your, oh, how to put this, big day?"
Smirking, the Higurashi girl thought it best to counter his attempt to embarrass her further by embarrassing him. "Why do you have so much interest in Sasuke all of a sudden, Naruto? You say you hate him, but—"
"Hey, I have every right to know when some bastard is taking my best friend on a date!" Naruto cut her off, not trusting her tone enough to let her finish the sentence. She was an evil, evil, evil girl when she wanted to be, after all, and there was no telling what was going on in her head.
Shaking her head, Kagome turned on her heel and began to walk once more.
"H-hey!" Naruto shouted. "That's not answering my question!"
"Tomorrow," she sighed, before smiling brightly. "Tomorrow."
The Uchiha Sasuke Fan Club was in chaos even after the Academy had let out for the day. It was common for them to ban together to make certain that no one, whether they were shinobi or civilian, had the chance to interact with Uchiha Sasuke on his walk home. Yet, today it appeared that that tradition was going to be broken.
Even Sakura, the club president, had not bothered to show.
"We still have a chance!" Asuka said, her voice determined. "Sasuke-kun may have started to develop feelings for that stupid Higurashi, but there's still a chance that he'll get bored!"
"Asuka, give it up," Mayu sighed. She, unlike Asuka, had not been an Uchiha Sasuke Fan Club member for most of her life and accepted the fact that, maybe, it had been their own behavior that caused Sasuke to turn away from any of them. It was hard, sure, but, sadly, it was reality.
"Oh, shut up, Mayu," Asuka growled. "You might not believe it, but once Sasuke-kun gets bored with that stupid Higurashi—and he will!—the rest of us will prove to him that we've always loved him! And then he'll pick one of us, instead of someone like you!"
Her silver colored eyes narrowing, Mayu stood suddenly. "You're so delusional," she said, as she turned on her heel. It hurt, knowing that she was walking away from the one boy she had chosen to place her heart with, but she knew that it was for the best. She refused to be seen as a fool, especially if Asuka was proven wrong.
"Oh, this is just terrible!" Emiko cried. "Just terrible!"
Asuka glared in her direction, huffing. "Everything is terrible, terrible, terrible with you, Emiko," she hissed. "But, I'm telling you! Sasuke-kun will throw that stupid Higurashi away like yesterday's trash! It's only a matter of time! And, when he realizes that she's not worthy of the name Uchiha, one of us will step in and help him find his way!"
"It doesn't matter anyway, Asuka," Reina sighed. "Without Sakura, the rules state that we are not allowed to—"
"Fuck the rules!" Asuka clenched her fist, as she continued, "Sakura has abandoned us! She has given up, something I refuse to do, and its only fair that we choose a new president to continue what she obviously can't."
"What do you think we should do, Asuka?" a girl asked from the back.
Grinning in triumph, Asuka began her speech, "I think that we should continue as we always have. We've endured this entire time: without Yamanaka, without Leiko, and we'll still endure without Sakura! We can't just sit here and cry! Yes, I know it hurts, but Sasuke-kun is just confused. He's the smartest shinobi of our generation, so there's no doubt in my mind that he'll be quick to dump that stupid Higurashi. We," she paused, "just might have to help him a little."
Emiko wiped at her tears, as she asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"You all heard it, I'm sure," Asuka nodded to herself. "Sasuke-kun plans to take his little toy on this outing—" she refused to use the term "date," as it was clear to her that Sasuke was only confused by the meaning, "—tomorrow. It is our duty, as the Uchiha Sasuke Fan Club, to put a stop to this!"
Reina frowned a little, saying, "Don't you remember, though? The last time we attempted to do anything to Higurashi, Sasuke-kun started spitting fire at us."
"Ha!" Asuka chuckled. "You're just over thinking, Reina, like always. Sasuke-kun only did that because he was afraid that Leiko, an Uchiha like himself, would hurt the thing that he decided to play with. That would be impossible, after all, if she were stuck in a hospital bed."
"I think you're wrong," Reina said firmly. "I think that Sasuke-kun—!"
"Sasuke-kun was not spitting fire at us!" Asuka snapped.
"Oh?" Reina scowled. She definitely did not like the fact that Asuka just decided that since she was the one with the biggest mouth, she was going to run everything. "And, who was he throwing fire at then, Asuka?"
"Leiko, of course!"
"Leiko was still one of us then!"
The Uchiha Sasuke Fan Club began to whisper amongst themselves, as Asuka and Reina bickered back and forth. They, too, did not appreciate Asuka's attitude now that she believed she was the one in charge. Several girls even walked away, intent on going home to cry some more.
"Oh, shut up, will you!" Asuka growled.
"You just think that you're big now because Sakura isn't around to put you in your place!" Reina growled back. "Despite what you've obviously decided, Sakura is still the club president until there is a vote among those remaining stating otherwise. And, even then, it has to be a club vote to decide whether or not you're fit to lead us."
"Well," Asuka hissed, "why don't we put it to a vote then? Who here believes that Haruno Sakura, the girl that has abandoned us in our greatest time of need, is fit to still be president of the Uchiha Sasuke Fan Club? Anyone? Anyone?"
Very few girls remained, but among those that did, no one raised a single hand.
"There!" Asuka smirked, "Are you happy now, Reina?"
Reina, however, was not deterred. "And I ask you, members of the Uchiha Sasuke Fan Club, do you believe that Miyake Asuka is fit to be your club president? Those in favor, please, raise your hand."
Hesitantly, Emiko allowed her hand to lift.
"Emiko?" Reina blinked. "Why do you think Asuka would…?"
"Well," Emiko sniffled, "while I don't agree with her attitude, Asuka was the only one that tried to keep us all together. This situation is simply terrible, and yet she is trying, at the very least."
As whispers broke out among the remaining Uchiha Sasuke Fan Club members, more hands lifted into the air.
"I don't see anyone else even doing that much," Emiko added.
Asuka smiled brightly, watching as Reina turned her head away when it appeared she was the odd man out. "That's so sweet of you all," Asuka sighed. "Thank you. And, of course, as the new president of the Uchiha Sasuke Fan Club, I will do everything in my power to make certain that it is one of us that Sasuke-kun picks to stand by his side forever!"
Emiko clapped for a moment, before it became apparent that no one planned to follow suit. "Congratulations," she mumbled.
"Which leads me to my next order of business—" Asuka could not believe that this had happened to her. She was the president of the Uchiha Sasuke Fan Club! She decided who was first pick on the Weekend Uchiha Watch; who stayed and who joined; who—Oh! The list went on! "—we will not be doing something so stupid as trying to harm Higurashi! No! We will, instead, merely do everything in our power to make it seem that Sasuke-kun's outing is a bad omen between the two!"
"And how will we do that?" Reina bit out.
"Well," Asuka flipped her hair over her shoulder, "first of all, we're going to—"
His sandals slipped off easily, before the dark haired Uchiha glanced behind him at the sound of the door opening once more. Itachi gazed upon his brother curiously, taking immediate interest in the way he held his head high. If Itachi did not know better, he would almost have said that it appeared his brother held the world in his hand and adored it.
Sasuke, however, paused at the sight of his brother. His lip turned down instantly, as he said, "I thought you were out on some ANBU business, Itachi?"
"It is a pleasure to see you, as well, Sasuke."
Toeing his sandals off beside the door, Sasuke cast a glance at his brother. He had been doing that lately. It was almost as if he was attempting to tell some little joke that only he, himself, would understand. "Tch," he muttered, "whatever."
As he moved to walk down the hallway leading further into the Uchiha manor, Itachi's voice stopped him. "Tell me, Sasuke," he asked, "why are you so pleased with yourself? Did you, perhaps, manage the impossible?"
Sasuke did not bother to answer the Uchiha prodigy, though he did allow himself the chance to glance over his shoulder and smirk. Itachi's merely blinked, but there was little doubt that the great and noble Uchiha Itachi understood the gesture. He was, after all, the genius of the Uchiha clan.
Then, deciding that he had been within his brother's presence long enough, Sasuke quickly fled down the hallway. He shoved his hands into his pockets, as he finally rounded a corner and found his destination. He knew he probably could have found the room with his eyes closed, considering the amount of noise his mother was making as she shuffled through an array of pots.
Glancing to his left, Sasuke was slightly surprised to find his father seated at the table. It was a normal occurrence for him to stay at the police station until six o'clock sharp, yet it was clear he had arrived early from the steaming cup of coffee set before him. "Father."
Fugaku lifted his brow at the smirk his son cast him.
Mikoto turned at the sound of her youngest son's voice, smiling at the sight of him. "Hello, Sasuke," she greeted him. "Did you see your brother when you arrived? I thought I heard the door open twice."
"Mother," Sasuke greeted her in return. He did not bother to answer her question, since it was clear that she already knew Itachi had arrived home early. She did, after all, appear as if she was planning on making dinner early tonight.
Her dark eyes twinkling, Mikoto said, "You seem quite pleased with yourself today, Sasuke. Did something exciting happen at the Academy?"
Though his mother turned back to what she was doing previously, Sasuke nodded. "Yes," he said, "yes, something very exciting happened today, mother."
As Mikoto turned her head, even Fugaku gave his son a curious glance. "Oh?" she asked. "And what was that?"
"Tomorrow, I have a date." His mother was sure to be pleased with that one. She was, after all, the one that silently encouraged him to interact more with those of the female variety.
A smile blossomed on the Uchiha matriarch's face, as she turned on her heel to gaze upon her little boy. "Really?" she asked. "Oh, how exciting! Did you finally accept one of those girls' that's always asking you, Sasuke? I knew that eventually you would find one that caught your interest."
Glancing again at his father, Sasuke said, "I will be taking Higurashi Kagome, mother."
"Higurashi Kagome?" Mikoto blinked. "Higurashi? Higurashi? Oh!" Her smile seemed to brighten a little, as she recalled the young girl from somewhere. "You mean the pretty little girl with dark blue eyes that sits behind you, yes?"
"Oh, Sasuke, I'm so happy for you."
As that familiar glazed look overtook his mother, Sasuke swallowed. She had often hoped that Itachi would settle down soon, thus granting her grandchildren to play with, but, as it stood, it appeared that she was now imagining another set of children squealing around her.
And, indeed, Mikoto hoped that her future would be filled with dark haired, blue-eyed little ones. Her grandchildren would be delighted to see her, begging her to play with them, and, if her dream came true, all of them would be girls.
Fugaku, sipping from his cup, frowned at his wife's expression.
Sighing softly, Mikoto said, "This will be your first date. My little boy's first date."
Sasuke merely nodded. It was best not to distract his mother while she was stuck in her blissful daydream.
"It has to be perfect—"
Fugaku sighed. He, too, knew it was best not to distract the Uchiha matriarch while she was in this state. And, while he did not approve of his son pursuing the Higurashi girl before he rose back into the number one rookie position, he knew that his wife would have a different opinion.
"—Oh! I'll take care of everything for you, Sasuke!" Mikoto smiled. "It'll be perfect, I promise. I'll set everything out somewhere near the river, and I'll have all the snacks prepared, and, oh, I'm so happy for you!"
"Thank you, mother."
Mikoto appeared unaware of the gratitude, as she sighed blissfully. Grandchildren were in her future, she was sure of it. Dark haired, blue-eyed grandchildren.
KibaSin: Yes, Mikoto is a hopeless romantic that really wants grandchildren. Oh, and I've found my inspiration for this story again after reading it all. :D

Unit 2 Educating The Girl Child
Question B.5:
On the basis of your reading of the story and the discussion between the girls in the following picture, have a whole class discussion on-The Need to Recognize and Empower the Girl Child
Save us. We have a dream too.
The hardest profession to take in life is being a girl child!
A whole range of discriminatory practices including female foeticide, female infanticide, son idolisation, early marriage and dowry have buried the future of the girl child
A little amount of care, a handful of warmth and a heart full of love for a girl child can make a big difference.
Did you know that every year 12 million girls are born in the country but unfortunately only 1/3 of those survive? Some are killed in the womb, some at the time of birth, some die due to ill health and some due to poor nutritional status.
Why do people discriminate against us for nutrition and even education?
This question is to be answered on the basis of your own understanding, experience and thoughts. It is strongly recommended that you prepare the solution on your own. However, some pointers fo…

I've had a couple of customers send me screenshots where their images are not loading completely until they reload the messages. I've experienced this as well. Is there an issue with the system or is it just the temporary holiday volume?
If the images in my emails aren't available it makes me (and by extension my clients) look bad.
Total email weight is 155k, 4 large images at 37k, 10k, and 33k, 14k the rest are 2k. Some of the 2k images aren't loading.
I am experiencing the same issues from the last 1 week or so. At times they are slow to load, at times they won't show up at all and then there are time when sudennly one or 2 images will be missing rendering the whole design useless. Has someting been done to rectify this?
Hi cpattersonv1 and ikhlaqbhat, we're looking into these reports on a case by case basis - while we're not aware of any issues affecting the loading of all images, there is always the possibility that issues between our CDN provider and individual ISPs may cause images to load slowly.
Your best bet would be to contact our support team with your ISP details and we'll get our sysadmins to look into this for you. We may ask you do some basic tests on your end.
Thanks folks, so sorry for the hassle here - hopefully we'll get to the bottom of this soon.
I am having the same problems. Based in Vancouver, BC. Even in the admin section pages get stuck loading, click refresh loads them instantly. Additionally, having a lot of problems with various elements loading like edit buttons and other graphics, template previews and even the live editor is having problems. I have tried on multiple computers and browsers as well as at other locations.
Hi pardus, since our last update, we've identified issues with our CDN provider, whom we're in the process of switching away from. The transition process hasn't been as smooth as we would have liked, however seem to be very much intermittent and localised to a few customers.
I'd ask that you kindly try again shortly and let us know if you're still experiencing issues here. We are working on getting this resolved in the very near future, however I can fully understand that this can be a frustrating situation and hope you can bear with us as we work on improving our level of service here.
Sorry again pardus, hopefully we can have this ironed out very soon.
I'm also experiencing this issue. My client is based in Vancouver, BC, and I'm just outside of Vancouver on a different ISP (though connected through a VPN to a US server). When viewing test emails both in the mail client and the web versions, various images don't load. This is happening for both of us.
If I view another email and then come back, or refresh the web browser, the images generally all load. It's not always the same images.
Just wondering if there's an update on this from the last 4 days.
Hi kmeronuk, welcome to the forums! Our team were looking into this earlier and it looks like the CDN issues have cleared up. Kindly try again and let us know if you're still experiencing slowness in loading images.
Sorry about the wait, everyone - we've really appreciated all your help and patience during this time.

Trump's Spiritual Adviser: Opposition To Trump Is Opposition To God By Kyle Mantyla – Right-wing prepper pastor Jim Bakker interviewed televangelist Paula White, who is one of President Trump's key spiritual advisers, on his television program today, where she declared that opposition to the president is opposition to God and explicitly praised Trump for not sounding or acting presidential.
"Thank goodness," she said. "In other words, he's not a polished politician. In other words, he's authentically whether people like him or not, he's been raised up by God because God says that He raises up and places all people in places of authority. It is God that raises up a king, it is God that sets one down and so when you fight against the plan of God, you're fighting against the hand of God." – Frank Amedia 'Saw How Angry And Hurt Our Lord Was' When The White House Was Bathed In Rainbow Colors By Kyle Mantyla – Matt Trewhella Trying To Convince Elected Officials That Women Who Have Abortions Should Be 'Tried For Homicide' By Miranda Blue – Tronald Dump's Spiritual Adviser: Opposition To Trump Is Opposition To God!!!
Rick Joyner: 'Media Terrorists' Will Be Held Accountable For Fomenting Insurrection By Lying About Trump By Kyle Mantyla – Right wing pastor Rick Joyner posted a video on his Facebook page today in which he asserted that the American media is the "most dangerous terrorist organization in the world" and should be charged with insurrection for lying about President Trump.
"The worst, most dangerous terrorist organization [is] the media," Joyner said, paraphrasing a quote from the late" prophet" Bob Jones. "The way the devil is using the media; yeah, I do believe the devil is the accuser of the brethren, [that's] one of the names of the devil and that's one of the things that is most commonly manifested through the media." – Unconstitutional acts, vile racism: Phoenix newspaper unloads the definitive history of Sheriff Joe By – Hick Joyner: 'Media Terrorists' Will Be Held Accountable For Fomenting Insurrection By Lying About Trump!!!
Paula White: Trump's 'Two Corinthians' Gaffe Was 'A Setup'By Kyle Mantyla – Today, for the third day in a row, televangelist Paula White, a key spiritual adviser to Donald Trump, appeared on Jim Bakker's television program, where she claimed that Trump's infamous "Two Corinthians" gaffe was the result of a "setup" by a Ted Cruz-supporting pastor who was hoping to damage Trump during the Republican primary.
The Family Research Council's Tony Perkins is the one who recommended that Trump cite the biblical passage during his speech at Liberty University last January and White asserted—without mentioning Perkins by name—that he intentionally gave Trump the wrong pronunciation in order to help Ted Cruz. – Tony Perkins: Learning About Gender Identity Can Prevent Children From Becoming Christians By Jared Holt – Paula White: Tronald Dump's 'Two Corinthians' Gaffe Was 'A Setup'!!!

Monk ready for hard work
Garry Monk believes Swansea's five-day training camp in Spain will prove to be a beneficial experience for the squad.
Last Updated: 08/02/12 9:34am
Garry Monk believes Swansea's five-day training camp in Spain will prove to be a beneficial experience for the squad.
Brendan Rodgers plans to take his men to Tenerife after Saturday's game against Norwich, with the Swans not in action again until 26th February.
While the break will allow the players to recover after a gruelling few months, Monk insists they will also be working hard to prepare for the run-in.
The experienced defender also feels the trip will help Swansea's newest recruits to get to know their team-mates.
"I'm sure there will be people who will say we are going away on a jolly," Monk said in the Daily Star.
"But we're going out there to work - and work hard.
"With the climate and facilities out there, it will allow us to put in some high-intensity sessions.
"Of course, there will be some time to relax - which is important for recovery - but this trip couldn't have come at a better time as it will also give some of the new faces a chance to bond further with the group.
"It's not too long ago that if you mentioned going away, we would have been thinking Fairwood Common near Swansea."

.@Gin, just a few things, when you say grime are you talking about a low bassline or the Uk mc's? Im guessing the first one.
Also when you want to add filth I would suggest you actually give filth, for example:
Thats some nasty stuff, I don't listen to it often, but they played it at Creamfields,pukkelpop and some clubs in Ibiza.
Also saying that London isn't producing good music right now makes you seem like you don't know much about Dubstep at all...Seeing as you said they don't experiment, so I guess Benga,Skream and Artwork coming from creating Garage in 1990 to dubstep, and now to drum and bass isn't experimenting?
Tasting different genre's seems to be a lot like experimenting to me and I can name more Emalkay, who I actually know started off creating metal remix's then going into dubstep and then mixing the two together with 16 bit.
You seem to not know much about dubstep from your post. I hope you challenge me on this and enlighten me cause it seems here you only know a handful of Uk producers, and compared to your producers.
You say you don't want to go out of your way but its pretty clear you are. The "UK fanboys" say their dubstep is the best because they're right, it is the best. The number of producers of dubstep is overwhelming and most of them are Awesome/Good. You are right in one thing you do make better music in general for mainstream, compared to the UK. Also I'm not from the UK I am just living here
Also I am not saying American Producers aren't good, just not as good as UK ones.

Homemade vegetable stock has to be one of the simplest things to make. I know lots of you make your own chicken stock (which I do sometimes) but I frequently have vegetarians to contend with so having something on hand that boosts the flavor of a dish makes my life so much simpler, and like a lot of other foodie things I do, it's on the lazy side of food prep and cooking…
As you cook during the week/month or whatever, stuff those bits and pieces of vegetables into a 1 gallon zip bag that you have tucked in the freezer. When the bag is filled to capacity, it's ready to either sit in the deep freeze for a while, or to be dumped in the stockpot.
I save onions, onion peels, carrot tops, carrot peelings, leeks, scallions, parsley stems, green bean ends etc. The only things I do not use are cruciferous veggies since I think they're too punchy for the mix. These I relegate to the compost pile. And as each season progresses I find that each batch has a different character. Summer bags are a little heavier on tomato and summer squash while fall and winter favor root vegetables. They're all good though!
So when your bag is full, dump the contents into a large pot, top up with as much water as you need, and start simmering slowly. The house will smell delicious and you'll be making something that is healthy and without added preservatives and junk. Simmer slowly until you feel it has enough depth, strain and then either let cool or use hot. I usually make this when I have a risotto in the works so it's used pretty fast, but it's great in just about any application you name and the stock itself keeps well in the freezer.
Hope you enjoy the stock idea. It's handy and adds tons of flavor to whatever you're cooking. Thanks as always for reading EG and remember to enter the seed giveaway from early last week!

Hi I will be getting married in June in Malta, Europe which has quite hot and sunny weather. The wedding is in the evening. The colours for my wedding include Malibu bridesmaid dresses and wish to have flowers on white/beige and fuchsia. I love stargazed lilies, calla lilies, and roses. Can you help me with ideas please? Thank you
How exciting to be planning a destination wedding in Malta. This lovely inspiration photo is from the Flower Shop Network and it features the exact flowers you requested. The bouquet contains: Stargazer Lilies, Cream and Purple Calla Lilies, Ivory/Beige Roses, and Greenery. To finish your bouquet, wrap with elegant Ivory Satin Ribbon. The premade Stargazer Lily and Rose Bridal Bouquet would make a beautiful bridesmaid bouquet. Happy Planning, Mindy

An Oakland child is undergoing HIV and hepatitis treatments after pricking his finger on a syringe he found while digging in the dirt at a playground.
Oakland schools spokesperson Troy Flint said this happened on April 25 at the Highland Children's Center and that the medical treatments are a precaution only.
Flint said the school is taking preventative measures to insure the lot is cleaned better including a daily sweep of the playground by the custodial staff.
He said the district is sending out a letter to parents today. Some parents said they were upset that the district took more than a week to inform other parents.

A man reportedly beat dogs into submission before he streamed live video of himself having sex with them. Thousands of people watched and found the man in Chengdu, China. Animal lovers lured the man to a meetup. They were pretending to be fans. They stripped off his clothes and beat him. Publicly. On camera.
The footage shows him lying naked and different people from the crowd take turns hitting and punching him. The banner they are holding is asking for laws against the abuse of animals. The man can not be charged for any crimes against the stray dogs he can only be criticized for his choices. The beating stopped when neighbors called the police. The man is now recovering in the hospital.

Former Ironman champ Sebastian Kienle matching donations to the Kona Community Aquatic Center
KAILUA-KONA — Sebastian Kienle has had some great moments on the Big Island, most notably his 2014 Ironman World Championship victory.
Now, the German professional triathlete is looking to give back to the island and community he has grown to love.
Kienle — in partnership with the non-profit More Than Sport — is raising money to go toward helping improve and maintain the Kona Community Aquatic Center (KCAC).
"For me this is a very important and personal thing," Kienle said in a Facebook video. "I can feel the good energy here on the island. It is a little bit different than most regions and countries I have been travelling to. (KCAC) is for free for all of us athletes. It's basically maintained and everyone is paid by tax dollars. During the past few years I have realized that it could use a little bit of a boost."
While the Big Island will be out in support of the 29 local competitors in this year's Ironman World Championship, they will have reason to cheer on Kienle as their favorite pro. If he wins the race, Kienle will match the donations from the More Than Sport site dollar for dollar. If he finishes runner-up, he'll match 50 percent, and 33 percent if he finishes with the bronze. Even if he finishes anywhere outside of the top three, he will match 25 percent.
According to the More Than Sport website, the funds will be used to purchase new equipment, flags, lane lines, improve youth programs and more.
"This is not only about maintaining the pool, but it's also about the relationship between us athletes, who are guests here on this beautiful island, and the people who live here," Kienle said. "Live aloha and give something back to this awesome community so we are always welcome to have our race here and the people here can continue using this beautiful pool in the future."
Donations are open until Tuesday at morethansport.org.
Wellington inducted into Ironman HOF
Chrissie Wellington has her hall pass.
The four-time world champion was inducted into the Ironman Hall of Fame on Wednesday night in Kona.
"Once you decide to leave the sport as a professional athlete you think your days of being awarded accolades are over—I am truly humbled and excited to see my name featured among our sport's greats, whom I have so much admiration and respect for," Wellington said.
Within a year of turning professional, Wellington captured her first Ironman World Championship in her Kona debut in 2007, becoming Ironman first British athlete, male or female, to win the race. She would go on to win three additional titles in 2008, 2009 and 2011. She is one of only three women to win the world championship race three consecutive times. She also set the course record of 8:54:02 in 2009, which stood for five years.
Wellington, originally from Norfolk, England, carried an undefeated record, winning every full-distance Ironman triathlon she started during her professional career. She earned 10 career full-Ironman victories, as well as seven Ironman 70.3 wins. Wellington also still holds the women's world record for fastest Ironman finishing time of 8:33:56, recorded in 2011 at Spec-Savers Ironman South Africa.

I did an art journal spread about love this weekend. It was inspired by a blog post about Love vs Fear by my friend Kathryn Antyr. Except when I did my journal spread I talked about love and left fear out of the equation. Yes it can be scary to open up and love again after you've been hurt, but you can't hide behind those walls of fear forever.
To love and be loved is the greatest joy on earth.

Best 27 Ways To Relax In Less Than Five Minutes
3) Cuddle up to your furry friend
One of the most adorable ways to relax might just be cozying up to Fido. Petting your cat or dog can lower your blood pressure and raise levels of the feel-good chemical serotonin in your body.
4) Give yourself a hand massage
Grab some coconut oil or lightly scented lotion and take time to release the tension in your hands. To release stress from the shoulders, neck and scalp, focus on kneading the area under the base of the thumb.
5) Journal
Taking time to write down your worries, fears or dreams can help declutter your subconscious mind, allowing you to be fully in the present.

The scientists who found it have no idea how it got there. But the discovery—along with genetic tests that confirm its uniqueness—means that a new species or "form" of invasive clam has made its official debut in North America. This is only the latest invasive aquatic species to settle in North America, said Illinois Natural History Survey aquatic ecologist Jeremy Tiemann, who discovered the new clam with INHS mussel field biologist Sarah Douglass in late 2015.Digitization efforts make wealth of INHS collections more accessibleApr 26, 2017 8:00 am0 views INHS is home to over 9 million biological specimens, including plants, insects, fish, reptiles, and fossils. Learn how we're digitizing these specimens to make them accessible to everyone.Most Mussels Survive River RelocationFeb 10, 2017 8:00 am7 views Relocating freshwater mussels from the path of a bridge construction site to a safer zone upstream is proving to be a time- and cost-effective conservation practice. Mussel survival rate after relocation is high, according to new research from the University of Illinois' Prairie Research Institute (PRI).Study Finds Recent Size Changes in Illinois River Mussel ShellsOct 12, 2016 8:00 am5 views Man-made levees and water pollution have made an impact on the fish and other fauna of the Illinois River throughout the 20th century, but researchers at the Prairie Research Institute (PRI), University of Illinois, have taken an even longer view of human-induced changes in freshwater mussels, dating back to pre-Columbian times.Baseline mussel survey finds only one female FatmucketAug 18, 2015 8:00 am0 views INHS Aquatic Biologist Jeremy Tiemann led a team in a baseline survey of mussels in Crystal Lake Park, finding only a female Fatmucket. The team will return in 5-10 years to see if the planned installation of in-stream riffles improves the habitat and changes the mussel population.Freshwater mussel behavior altered by exposure to antidepressantsJan 10, 2014 8:00 am0 views INHS Post-doctoral researcher Andrea Fritts is a co-author on a recently published study examining the effects of the antidepressant fluoxetine on the behavior of freshwater mussels, which could impact their survival and role in their ecosystem. The study found that chronic exposure led to "increases in movement, decreased time to movement, and increased likelihood of diurnal movement, and increased rates of lure display in mussels. Changes in mussel movement [in the wild] are likely to increase susceptibility to predation, and may also alter sediment nutrient cycling and oxygenation through changes in bioturbation provided by mussels."1000 more endangered mussels released in Illinois riversSep 4, 2013 8:00 am0 views Over the course of a week, 1000 endangered mussels were collected from under a bridge construction site in Pennsylvania, packed for safe transport, quarantined, marked, measured, and released into new sites in Vermilion County, Illinois. This is the third relocation from Pennsylvania to Illinois as part of the Species Survival Plan for two endangered mussels, the northern riffleshell and the clubshell.

Approximately 1000 mussels were collected from the Alleghany River in Pennsylvania, under a bridge slated for replacement in 2018. Following quarantine and tagging, the mussels will be released at sites found to meet the requirements necessary for survival.

Bob Dylan Chrysler ad
MASERATI: "Now We Strike"
An unknown in Super Bowl advertising, Maserati has a new, less expensive sedan to sell. The ad ends on a high (exhaust) note -- it's just too bad all the potential buyers were actually sitting in Met Life Stadium when it aired.
TOYOTA: Unnamed clip for the 2014 Toyota Highlander
Say what you will about Toyota, but the World's Biggest Automaker knows how to make an ad with broad appeal that also manages to be memorable, not dull and safe (cf. Hyundai above). For the Highlander clip, its agency partner, Saatchi & Saatchi, has melded a Gen X and Gen Y staple, the Muppets, with football icon Terry Crews, to create something both quirky and family-friendly. The only downside? We have a hard time remembering that this is a clip for the Highlander. Then again, the Muppets tend to upstage everyone.
We're under the impression that Toyota has a second clip up its sleeve, but it doesn't seem to have debuted. There's no word on when either clip will run during the broadcast.
VOLKSWAGEN: "Wings"
We've already shared our feelings about this underwhelming clip. If it's okay with you, we'd prefer not to relive it. You're on your own.

By its own admission Twitter experiments with at least one new feature each and every day, and while most of these are simply that – experiments – some do move out of the beta process and become system-wide.
Twitter's latest venture is a tweak that many users have wanted for a long, long time: retweets with comments.
First spotted by Mashable, the change has been showing up for the usual small subset of users on the official iPhone and Android apps – now, when they go to retweet, instead of seeing the standard "Quote tweet" secondary option they're seeing "Retweet with comment".
Once actioned, here's how the retweet with comment looks, courtesy of Twitter's own Carolyn Penner.
What's important here is that while a quote tweet gives you a very small space to add your own thoughts (because you're limited by how many characters you're quoting), retweet with comment effectively gives you 140 extra characters, making the tweet bigger. You have your own 140 characters to comment, add another link etc, as per a normal tweet, and then the retweet part is added on to the tweet separately, somewhat like a Twitter card. This essentially makes retweet with comment two times the size of a standard 140 character tweet.
Back in the old days of Twitter, all retweets were manual – users had to hand-type their retweet, along the lines of "RT @username message". Twitter added its own retweet function back in October 2009 which, while generally disliked at first, eventually became the norm as new users joined the service.
With this new tweak Twitter has somewhat rolled back the clock, allowing users to straight-up retweet or add their own comment, which is the best of both worlds. And while it's been unpopular with some of the testing folks (few welcome change, after all), personally I'd be amazed if this feature doesn't get implemented soon.

So if anyone knows me, they know I hate the weekend! Yes I realize this is a VERY weird thing to say.To make a long story short, I have decided to make every weekend into an adventure, to keep me from thinking about the fact that I don't like them. This past weekend I made a "photo blog" of sorts, it was my Mom's 64th birthday and I took her to Asheville NC. Welcome to our "Adventure"
This is the view on the way to a cute little church in Mills River NC. We had a great time and were greeted by kind members and made to feel at home. I found my new motto on a bumper sticker "breathe and smile" what else do you need??
Second Stop was lunch!! We went to Rosetta's Kitchen in Asheville, NC!! This is an all vegetarian restaurant, and they have this great "Everybody Eats" "sliding scale" meal for people that may not be able to afford a full price meal (imagine a world where every restaurant did this). Pay from $2-$6 for a select dish they prepared that day. I have attached pictures of this lovely place.
Now we are on our journey home, bellies full enjoying the lovely fall day and beautiful mountains of North Carolina views. Last stop, a little stand on the side of the road to grab some fresh apples and grapefruit. I am walking around the little shop and saw that they had a few antiques. I fell in love with an antique chest, but I left it there because really I don't need anymore furniture to take up space. After walking to the front I told the cashier to please bag me up my favorite treat, boiled peanuts!! Ahhhhh the last moments of summer in the south. I saw a cute ladder and it made me think how bad that I have been needing something to hang my scarfs on for the winter (I LOVE scarfs). THIS IS PERFECT, and it is only $20!! My Mom looks at me kinda crazy, but I load it into the car anyway. I am HAPPY!! Wonderful day with Mom and my FIRST weekend adventure. Now let's see if I can keep it up!! I LOVE WEEKENDS!! 🙂 LOL.

Special weather statement issued for Vancouver Island
Thursday is the last day of clear skies before snowy conditions blanket the island on Friday. Feb. 2, 2017 (CTV Vancouver Island)
Published Thursday, February 2, 2017 11:51AM PST
Last Updated Thursday, February 2, 2017 12:03PM PST
Happy Groundhog Day!
On this day when we turn to trusty rodents to determine our forecast, the results appear to be 50/50, if you count the Vancouver Island marmots.
Shubenacadie Sam saw his shadow this morning predicting an early spring. Wiarton Willie also predicts an early spring. Punxsutawney Phil predicts six more weeks of winter. Vancouver Island marmots (and local meteorologists) are bracing for another round of snow this weekend.
Clear today, gone tomorrow
Today is the last day of clear skies before snowy conditions blanket the island tomorrow. Today's sunshine and cold temperatures can be attributed to an area of high pressure which has sent cold air funnelling out to the coast from the north east.
The high set up north of a low pressure system which has spent the last few days spinning off the California coast.
This blocking pattern prevents any eastward movement of systems, so essentially we've been stuck in the same cold clear weather for a number of days.
Today the blocking pattern is breaking down, which will allow the low to move northeast, first towards Washington State then sending its warm front north towards Vancouver Island.
As that front approaches Friday morning snow is expected to fall on many parts of the south and mid-island as well as the Lower Mainland throughout the day. While the timing of this snow event can and will change slightly, here's what I'm looking at right now for tomorrow.
The shift in the weather pattern begins in the early hours of Friday morning. Clouds increase overnight and by 5 a.m. snow is expected to begin falling between Sooke and Port Renfrew.
Give yourself extra time to drive to work. By 8 a.m. it looks like it'll be snowing through the West Shore towards the Saanich Peninsula and the Malahat.
Nanaimo might be seeing some flakes, especially at higher elevations. Ucluelet will be on the edge of the rain/snow transition.
By 10 a.m. the warm front pushes precipitation as far north as Port Alberni.
Cold conditions in the Alberni Valley will prevent the snow from changing to rain. Tofino and Ucluelet, however, will be a bit too mild for more than a rain-snow mix. Expect mostly drizzle.
By early afternoon the Capital Region gets a bit of a break, while the snow falls on Vancouver.
At around 3 p.m. light rain is expected for coastal communities, including Greater Victoria, Sooke, Port Renfrew, Tofino and Ucluelet.
Nanaimo, Cowichan Valley and Port Alberni will still have some snow. The Courtenay-Comox area as well as Campbell River will see some afternoon flurries too.
The evening will see some more snow for inland island communities and spots on the east coast as another low approaches the area.
Forecast models suggest the south island will get more in the way of rain.
As milder Pacific air is ushered in, the precipitation gradually changes from snow to rain, so expect a rain-snow mix for Saturday.
Another system approaches Sunday, which will also bring snow or a rain-snow mix to the island.
How much snow will fall?
That's a tricky question to answer. There are many factors including, but not limited to, elevation, proximity to the water and temperature. Vancouver island has so many microclimates!
Here's a look at the snow accumulation predictions from five forecast models I regularly look at when putting together your forecast: The US GFS, the US RPM, the Canadian GEM, the US NAM and the European ECMWF.
You can see how there's quite a range in expected snowfall accumulation in the next 48 hours, up to 10 a.m. Saturday.
I'll have my full forecast for you tonight on CTV News at 5 and 6. See you then!
