Global Resort Homes is celebrating their 15th anniversary by offering guests an unbeatable 15% off any Orlando vacation rental when booking a Global Resort Homes property between April 15 and May 15, 2008. In addition, guests that stay during the celebration month have the opportunity to save an additional 15% off, equaling a total savings of 30%.
Global Resort Homes was founded by Guy and Robyn Bouchard in May of 1993 and over the past 15 years Global Resort Homes has set the standard in the industry and established themselves as the premier vacation rental company in Orlando. By offering unparalleled service and an incredible alternative to staying in a cramped hotel room, Global Resort Homes gives Orlando vacationers a variety of choices for their next trip to Orlando. Their hands-on approach to the company sets them apart from their competition as they grew the company one home at a time. The Bouchard's and their team currently manage nearly 300 properties in six resort communities, allowing them to dedicate personalized staff and individual service to each community of homes.
"We are simply a different type of company" says Robyn Bouchard. "By staying true to our original vision and only managing in select communities, we can offer the best in location, amenities and properties. This way we have on-site staff and can offer a much higher level of service to our guests and our owners alike. The best thing is, we take the guess work out of everything for our clients."
Even after 15 years in business, Guy, Robyn and the entire Global Resort Homes team continue to remain committed to maintaining the same vision that began 15 years ago and to carrying out their mission statement of being committed to excellence with each Orlando resort rental. "We continue to hear outstanding feedback from our guests and this is what we strive for," says General Manager, Russ Kraft. "We see the same guests returning year after year and sending their friends and family with outstanding recommendations; it's exactly the kind of referral business that we've come to know and love, which makes us extremely proud of the fact that we're doing things right."
Guy, Robyn and team remain committed to participating and giving back to the local community as well as engaging in global-reaching mission trips. The team has not only made an impact locally but have recently traveled to New Orleans and Jamaica to help give aide to those in need. Trips this year may possibly include Mexico and South Africa. "Giving back is at the core of who we are," says Guy Bouchard. "Being in the service industry doesn't only mean serving our guests and owners but also serving and helping those in need. "

Orlando, FL (PRWEB) July 30, 2009
When Tammy Roussin was working on her Doctorate in Business and Management Information Systems, she wasn't picturing picking up dog poop for a living. But after a bad experience her beloved cocker spaniel had during a kennel stay, the idea for a pet sitting/dog walking business was formed. Nowadays, Tammy is occasionally laughed at and made fun of because she picks up dog poop, but she'll gladly tell you that she's the one who's laughing because she pulls in a cool $ 100,000 a year as the owner of Pampered Pet LLC., a pet-sitting/dog walking business.
And if that doesn't make you want to wag your tail, Pet Sitters International, the world's largest education association for professional pet sitters, reported that more than 11% of their members have gross business revenues of $ 75,000 or more annually and several businesses report annual incomes of more than $ 1 million. Even amid the recession, the industry has been holding steady.
Tammy, who lives in St. Louis, MO will be a guest speaker at the Pampered Pet Expo, an event for Central Florida pet lovers being held August 7th – 9th, 2009 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando. Her seminar entitled "Build a Profitable Pet Sitting Business" will walk pet lovers through the details of setting up a pet sitting business. She'll also be sharing her secrets to success, including having a positive attitude, the will to persevere and always having a smile on your face when talking on the phone.
This seminar is just one of the many education opportunities at the Pampered Pet Expo. The main focus of the event is to provide an array of fun classes and informative presentations geared to pet parents. The variety of free and low-cost sessions include: Red Cross Pet First Aid & CPR; Canine Behavior Basics; DOGA (yoga with your dog); 5 Keys to Successful Animal Communication; Traveling With Your Pets; When it Comes to Wildlife, What you Need to Know to Keep Your Pets Safe and many more.
In addition to classes, attendees can visit the Ask-a-Vet Center, talk to pet adoption groups, shop with local and national vendors of pet products and enjoy entertainment such as the K9′s in Flight Frisbee Air Dogs, the ShowBirdz! performing parrot show and the Swanky Pooch Fashion Show.
The Pampered Pet Expo is being held in the West Building, Hall D of the Orlando/Orange County Convention Center. Expo hours are from 4pm to 9pm on Friday, 10am to 7pm on Saturday and 10am to 5pm on Sunday. Daily adult admission is $ 10 in advance and $ 12 at the door. Friday evening is half-price.

AFTER our border crossing from Israel into Egypt, we immediately noticed the change of scenery.
The lush vegetation of Israel seemed like a world away. In its place were views of rock mountains, the Red Sea and the desert. The Castle of Saladin on the Island of Pharaoh in Taba city seemed to be the only thing interesting we passed so far, save for the rows and rows of empty or unfinished beach developments by the shore of the Red Sea. After mass at the resort hotel we were billeted in, those who intended to climb Mt. Sinai got themselves ready and bid members of the group goodbye. The climb starts late in the evening and is done by daybreak. It takes about five hours to ascend the mountain and one may opt to ride a camel until the last 750 steps as this can only be accessed by foot.
Early the next day, we journeyed back to the area where the climbers went to visit St. Catherine's Monastery, one of the oldest Christian monasteries in the world. It is believed to enshrine the burning bush from which God first revealed himself to Moses. The area surrounding this monastery is almost deserted, that when the bus approached it, we had a hard time believing that somewhere beneath those mountains and rocks was a functioning monastery!
After the military checkpoint, we had to leave the bus and take "taxis" going uphill. These "taxis" were really old, junkyard-level cars, but one really had no choice but to ride them or risk being scorched by the burning sun if one opted to walk.
The holiest part of this complex is the Chapel of the Burning Bush – the actual bush itself is a bramble of the rose family named Rubus sanctus. Native to the Holy Land and known for being long-lived, this monastery's bush neither blooms nor bears any fruit, but looks very much alive and sprouting.
Also inside the monastery one can find the Well of Moses, or Jethro's Well, as this was where Moses met his wife Zipporah. It still functions as one of the monastery's main sources of water.
After a quick lunch, we drove onward to join a convoy – which included a military escort – for the eight- hour drive to Cairo, thru the Egyptian desert. We made a short stop to see the Well of Marah along the way as we were told this was where the Israelites drank upon their exit from Egypt. Upon arriving in Cairo safely, we celebrated mass before calling it a day.
Early the next day, we were on the way to see the famous Giza Pyramids. I was surprised to see it just by the roadside, not cordoned off and buses were allowed to park right beside it. The Great Pyramid of Giza, also known as the Pyramid of Khufu or the Pyramid of Cheops, is the largest and most accessible of the three pyramids in the complex. It is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and the only one to remain largely intact. The two smaller pyramids are the Pyramid of Khafre and the Pyramid of Menkaure. A short distance away we also saw the Great Sphinx of Giza – believed to be the likeness of Pharaoh Khafra – that serves as an emblem of Egypt appearing on most stamps, coins and even official documents.
Life force
Driving around Cairo, our guide Izzat would always mention that if it were not for the presence of the Nile River, Egypt would not survive. The Nile is the longest river in Africa and has a drainage basin covering 11 countries. It is the primary source of water for Egypt and Sudan.
We stopped at the Museum of Cairo which is home to an extensive collection of ancient Egyptian antiquities, the most popular of which is the Gold Mask of Tutankhamun. Almost half of the collection was in the process of being packed, as the museum will soon be transferring to a much bigger location – leaving behind this building built in 1901. This one fact I found quite humorous: the statue of the builder of the Great Pyramid (Cheops) was the smallest statue in the whole collection.
We then went to the Saints Sergius and Bacchus Church – one of the oldest Coptic churches in Egypt. It dates back to the fourth century and is traditionally believed to have been built on the spot where the Holy Family rested at the end of their journey to Egypt. There is a crypt below the church about 10 meters deep that shows one where Joseph, Mary and the infant Jesus are said to have rested. As we wove our way back to the main street, our guide insisted on one last stop. He wanted to show us The Hanging Church, which is not actually suspended from anything, but is built instead on top of the gates of an old Roman fortress. It is officially called the Church of the Virgin Mary because this place is known to be the site of several apparitions of Mary.
Thus, we reached the conclusion of our pilgrimage and were soon headed home. If I had to give one piece of advice to people who want to someday visit the Holy Land, it is to do it while you can still savor every experience. The sense of fulfillment you will feel in your soul, spirit and heart is incomparable. I have already decided in fact to go back and embrace the experience all over again, with a deeper understanding of our faith.

Famous as: Painter
Died on: January 17, 1654

Recommended For You
Paulus Potter was a celebrated Dutch painter of seventeenth century. Trained by his father from a young age, he quickly developed a style of his own and became famous for his works on animals. In fact, animals appear in all his works, sometimes singly, but mostly in groups within a rustic landscape. In fact, he was the first established painter, in whose works animals were depicted as the main subject while human figures and landscapes were relegated to secondary position. Although he started his painting career in Amsterdam under the guidance of his father, his best paintings were created in Delft. Later he shifted to Hague and received royal patronage for a short period before moving back to Amsterdam. Unfortunately, he died at an early age of 28 from tuberculosis. In spite of that, he left more than 100 documented works. Among these works, 'The Young Bull' is said to be the most celebrated though not the finest. Instead, critics find his 'Orpheus Charming the Beasts' to be aesthetically more fulfilling. Although he did not have any recorded student his works have influenced many later artists.
Recommended Lists:
- Paulus Potter was born in November 1625 in the city of Enkhuizen in the North Holland province of Netherlands. Although the exact date of his birth is not known, old records shows that he was baptized on November 20 of the same year.
- According to Netherlands Institute for Art History (RKD), his father, Pieter Symonsz Potter, was the city secretary of Enkhuizen and was also a renowned painter. He specialized in genre and farm landscapes. His mother, Aaltje Paulusdr Bartsius, was the sister of another well- known artist, Willem Bartsius.
- Apart from Paulus, the couple had two more children, Pieter II and Maria. Paulus was born second. Initially, the family lived in Enkhuizen. Later in 1628, they moved to Leiden and finally settled in Amsterdam in 1631.
- In Amsterdam, they lived in Sint Antoniesbreestraat, a fashionable street, which housed the residences of many well-known artists. Among them was Pieter Codde, whose wife moved into their home once Paulus' mother died.
- Paulus Potter began his painting lessons under his father's guidance while living in Amsterdam. From the beginning, he followed his father's footsteps and began to draw farm scenes as well as extensive landscapes with animals in it. Very soon he grew a style of his own.
- Some researchers also claim that Paulus also studied under Amsterdam painter Claes Moeyaert. It is to be noted that both Moeyaert and senior Potter had the same style.
- It has also been found that in 1642, one 'P. Potter' was registered as a student of Jacob de Wet, an artist from Haarlem. Therefore, it seems, along with studying under his father, Paulus also received training under other teachers and was familiar with artistic environment of the city.
Recommended Lists:
- It is possible that Paulus Potter started his career as a painter in early 1640s in the city of Amsterdam. By 1646, he moved to Delft, a city in the province of Southern Holland and lived there till 1649.
- At Delft, Potter continued with his painting work and in 1646, entered the Guild of St. Luke. It was a city guild for painters and other artists named after the patron saint of artists, St Luke.
- 1647 was a significant year for Potter. Many of his finest paintings bear this date and it is generally accepted that Paulus Potter reached his peak during this period.
- In 1649, Paulus Potter left Delft and settled in Hague. Here, he initially lived in the house of Jan Van Goyen, a very well-known artist of that era. He also met architect Claes van Balkeneynde, who was also a leading building contractor in the city, and married his daughter.
- After the wedding, his father-in-law introduced Potter to the Dutch elite, who were impressed by his talent. Amalia of Solms-Braunfels, regent of Orange-Nassau, was one of them.
- Sometime now, Potter created a painting with a pissing cow for Amalia of Solms-Braunfels. However, the painting offended the court ladies. It is also believed that Potter did not fulfill all his obligations. In 1651, he was sued by the Royal Court for such failure.
- Sometime in 1652, Potter was invited to settle in Amsterdam by the city Mayor Nicolaes Tulp. Accordingly, he went back to Amsterdam by May 1652. Here too he was patronized by many art lovers.
- In 1653, he was commissioned to paint a portrait of Nicholas' son Diederik Tulp. The painting showed Diederik riding a horse. However, it is said that it was actually an old painting, which potter could not sell. He just changed the face of the rider and passed it as Diederik's portrait.
- 'The Young Bull', painted in 1647, is said to be one of the best works of Paulus Potter. This life size painting created on canvas by oil offers detailed realism and is said to be one of the three best paintings of Netherlands. At the time of painting, Potter was only 22 years old.
- 'Orpheus Charming the Beasts' painted in 1650, is another of his major works. Critics have described this painting as his 'excursion into the poetic world'. It shows Orpheus playing his lute surrounded by a horde of mesmerized animals.
- 'Figures with Horses by a Stable' (1647), 'Two Horses in a Meadow near a Gate' (1649), 'Two Pigs in a Sty' (1649), 'Wolf-Hound' (1650–1652), ' Cattle in a Meadow' (1652), and 'A Spaniel' (1653) are few other major works by Paulus Potter. Though smaller in size, these paintings have also been appreciated by art lovers of all ages.
- In 1650, Potter married Adriana, the daughter of Hague architect Balkeneynde. At the time of their marriage he was around 25 years old. He did not live long after the marriage
- Towards the end of his life Paulus Potter developed tuberculosis. He died from the disease on January 17, 1654 at the age of 28 in the city of Amsterdam. In this short span, he produced more than 100 known pieces of work.

TMI? Maybe, but this is essential to my health journey, so if you want to hear how I'm working to heal acne, amenorrhea, weight gain, and the other consequences of hormonal imbalance, you're going to have to stick with me here.
I knew that something was wrong even before I lost my period. I was bloated, covered in acne, and, while suicidally emotional as I used to get on the eve of my period, something felt off. I menstruated for about a day and then…no more.
This all went down on the same trip to my sister's graduation when I realized that I could no longer be a vegan if I wanted to be healthy.
The following month, no period. Nor the month after that. And now, a year later, even after introducing meat (and organ meat), bone broth, fermented cod liver oil, and saturated fats while cutting out soy, grains, legumes, and dairy (although I hadn't had any dairy since transitioning from my cottage-cheese-why-protein-and-greek-yogurt "Eat-Clean Diet" to veganism), I am still not, for all intents and purposes, a functional woman.
Now, most of you out there who do have your period are probably looking at this blog and thinking I'm crazy to want my period back. Yeah, PMS and cramps and bloating and bleeding all suck, but look at it this way: nature only has a use for animals that are of reproductive age. Not to be offensive to any of you out there who are facing menopause or peri-menopause, but from the scientific perspective, once you've moved past reproductive age, nature has no use for you. Your hormones stop working right. You decline.** This is just a fact of life. And not one I want to start happening to me at age 26.
After this year of infertility (which is not my first experience with amenorrhea–I was infertile for a year while starving myself as a fitness model wannabe), things are on a definite decline.
My hormones are now so out of whack that I'm fairly certain my thyroid, which was already performing sub-optimally, is now not doing it's job. Weight has been creeping on for the last several months, and even a return to the gym and to my yoga practice hasn't helped. (And this, in addition to some unpleasant bowel blockage–not gonna go into that here, kthnx–and brittle nails and depression/fatigue, has led me to believe that my low T3 just got lower.) In fact, over the last three months, the weight gain has sped up so much that I can't fit into the clothes I wore to Paleo F(X).
I also suffer from hot flashes and excessive sweating, hirsutism,*** and, of course, the acne.
Oh, the acne. Bane of my existence. My 13 year battle. My (partial) excuse for pardoning myself from facing social anxiety.
This year has just been a giant, unresolved n=1 to try to solve the acne and hormone problems through digestion, as I've written about before. And I'm embarking on another big experiment now, based on a lot of conjecture and a pretty big hunch, since a single visit to the non-insurance-accepting functional medicine doctor who might be able to help me solve this problem will cost more money than I actually have available in my bank account right now.
I found this great explanation of "face mapping," which correlates different types of acne with dysfunction in different areas of the body. Unfortunately, I seem to have something wrong with…everything.****
So before I get into potential solutions, and this month's experiment, I thought I'd outline some of the things I've tried over the last year that have either not worked or had no effect:
- Autoimmune Paleo: No nightshade veggies (peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, etc.) and no spices. I think this actually has helped with lowering the inflammation in my body, but I only really followed this 95%, because I couldn't part with my red pepper flakes. I've given myself a sharp slap on the wrist for that one, and I've been 100% for about 2 months now.
- Low FODMAPS: I'll let Chris Kresser explain this one for you, because it's a whole blog post topic (at least) in and of itself. I didn't see a change after a month, so I gave up on this one. You can't take my garlic away from me.
- Starchy Carbs and Fruit: Didn't like the way this made my stomach feel. Enough said? Needless to say, not eating much of this anymore.
- Low Carb: I've gone about as low carb as I can, given the high volume of veggies I eat. I have cut out almost all fruit but berries…but berries will be my downfall.
- Seaweed: Too much iodine? Not enough? I was eating Pacific Wakame in my bone broth daily, and kelp noodles in my salad at lunch. Cutting back a little, since the iodine in seaweed could be potentially contributing to the low thyroid problem.
- Caffeine: I haven't had a cup of coffee since mid-March (I've been drinking Dandy Blend tea in the mornings instead) and I have reduced even my green tea to a couple of cups a week. Chocolate (raw cacao) remains my only daily caffeine indulgence. I should probably do something about that…
- Biotin: I tried Biotin for a couple of months, but I was one of the poor suckers for whom vitamin B5 backfired. Instead of improving my skin, hair, and nails, I ended intensifying the cystic acne on my jaw.
- Maca Powder: I took maca powder (1 tsp/day) back in October, and by god, I got my period back. And then I freaked out because Maca is a phytoestrogen and stopped taking it. No more menses for me. So I tried the Maca again…and now it doesn't work. I've been taking between 1 tsp and 2 tbsp for the last 5 months and hoping, but it hasn't helped. I've switched to Femmenessence MacaHARMONY as of Sunday, so I'll report back.
- Belle Femme: I first heard about this through Liz Wolfe's Skintervention Guide. Dr. Ron's makes this proprietary blend of Chaste Tree, Dong Quai, Wild Yam, Black Cohosh, and Indole-3-Carbinol is supposed to be especially balancing for women's hormones. I've been taking it 2x/day for about 4 months, and I've had no results. Switching to a Vitex/Chaste Tree supplement as of Sunday, so I'll keep you updated on that too.
- Fermented Cod Liver Oil/Butter Oil Blend: This is the famed Green Pasture brand that Diane Sanfilippo and Liz Wolfe recommend through the Balanced Bites podcast. Love this stuff.
- Turmeric: I was taking this for inflammation (figured I'd do double duty with my face and my ankle), but I really didn't find any change whatsoever. So I stopped.
- Brewer's Yeast: I don't know if this counts as food or a supplement. I started using it in my bone broth and when I ate tuna fish for the chromium. It is incredibly tasty, and I love this stuff…but I stopped using it about two weeks ago. More on why in my next post.
I figure that's enough information to throw at you for today…But I've set in motion a very exciting new experiment that may or may not blow up in/on my face. So we'll see how that goes. Stay tuned.
Are any of you still suffering from adult acne or hormonal imbalances? What supplements/diet hacks/remedies have you tried?
Stay hungry,
*not exaggerating. Once a month, like clockwork, from the age of 13 on, I would have a nervous breakdown and threaten bodily harm two days before my period (which was actually twice a month for about 6 months while I was 16). I'm assuming this had to do with low progesterone levels from my PCOS, as low progesterone (or low relative to estrogen or testosterone) can cause PMS.
**Unless you go out and read Dr. Sara Gottfried's The Hormone Cure. Apparently she has the secret to continued health and vitality in her Gottfried Protocol..but it involves rebalancing your hormones, which your body may not know how to do anymore on its own.
***Unwanted hairiness in places there shouldn't be hair.
**** Except my heart. That zone seems to be doing okay.

You bit me on my big toe,
And pinched me on all the others.
My heels you squeezed on both sides
Till red and raw and sore.
I paid big money for you,
All tall and uppity and high!
I called others you had serviced,
They raved and said, "she's good!"
Me? I want my money back.
Love affair over before begun.
My vice has gotten the better of me.
New shoes-must you hate me so?

Audi R8, the Sports Car And Audi Q7, the SUV – Two of the Latest Models From Audi
If you like to feel the real experience of riding and can afford them, then here are the two latest models from Audi which fits into the bill. Audi R8 is a sports car and Audi Q7 is the SUV with all the latest features imbibed in them.
Audi R 8 is one of the most stylish available in the market with a two door and can be called a coupe. It has got an excellent exterior combined with stylish interiors making it hard to resist buying. The interior is provided with a trendy instrument panel comprising of a premium stereo music system and 12 speakers.
The Audi R 8 is provided with the latest navigation and parking sensor system to help the user navigate and park easily. It is extremely comfortable and a joy to ride. The car is built with a powerful 4.2 L V8 FSI petrol engine capable of achieving a power out put of 420 bhp at 7800 rpm. It has the capacity to accelerate from 0 Km/h to 100 Km/ h in just 4 seconds. The maximum speed is 301 Km/h which makes it one of the fastest on the road.
Audi R8 comes with a magnetic ride adaptive damper system and shock absorbers. The front and rear suspension systems work in tandem, to absorb the bumps on potholed Indian roads. A special fluid is used in the shock absorbers which further enhances the smoothness while driving in critical road conditions.
Its safety aspects include, Antilock Braking System (ABS), electronic stability control and traction control, seat-mounted and knee-protecting airbags, front seatbelts, driver and passenger head restraint whiplash protection system, remote anti-theft alarm system and tyre pressure monitor systems. These safety features means the user can be rest assured about the safety in case of any eventuality.
Audi Q7, on the other hand is an SUV with all latest features to give the user a fantastic experience while driving. Here again, true to its stand, the company applies its theory of doing less and getting more. The company has been able to achieve a positive result in this SUV, in that it uses less fuel, releases less Carbon Di Oxide into the atmosphere and waste less energy. It does not mean there is less power generated. Care has been taken to see that there is no compromise as for as power generation is concerned.
Another positive feature in this SUV is its Automatic Start-Stop function. This feature stops the engine when the car is standstill in heavy traffic or at traffic lights thereby cutting down on CO2 emissions. On releasing the car brake pedal, the engine automatically starts. One more feature is the optional Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) which helps in maintaining a safe distance with the vehicle in the front using the sensors. In case, the car ahead comes nearer, it automatically triggers an alarm giving a signal to the driver in front.
Both, the Audi R 8 and Audi Q7 are one among the best in their segments and worth purchasing.

Hi guys, hope you're all good.
Just picking up on this thread.... still planning on going to the Thai Embassy in London towards the end of the year to register my daughters birth (had a little girl back in March!!!). I gave the Thai Embassy a call and after about 10 attempts managed to get through to a human. Although she kept telling me to read the website, which I find a little unclear, I managed to get some info out of her. She said my wife's Thai passport needs to be valid to register my sprog's birth. It is expired and we were not intending to renew it until a visit to Thailand in a year or so.
My question is - Does anyone know if my wife wanted to renew her passport would it be dealt with and issued on the same day/during the appointment, or is it perhaps couriered at a later date? If the passport is issued on teh day of appointment would this mean we could logistically then register my daughter's birth/passport etc on the same day/same trip?
Any advice/input most welcome, as I don't fancy trying to call the embassy again and it doesn't state on teh site if passports are issued on the same day. Cheers chaps

Mum is probably a huge star of the blog, as she is the co-star of my life. We are undoubtedly a hilarious double act. But today I want to talk about my Dad.
You probably think of him as a quiet, bumbling presence – often asleep. An older Mr Bennett perhaps. And yet there's far more to him than that.
Dad is my biggest fan – not in the way that he's always writing enthusiastic reviews of my stuff, of course. He rarely criticises me, always defends me against everyone. He will drive countless miles at any time of night to rescue me. There hasn't been much call for that recently, but last year, when my hump Engelbert was almost the size of a football, Dad drove me to the office Christmas party, dropped me off there and then took himself out to dinner in the local area for hours whilst he waited for me to finish my festivities.
When assessing these random chaps, it's difficult as of course none of them could match up to my Dad. This is probably a common problem. I remember once reading an interview with Alex Best (George Best's wife) where she said that she got involved with undesirable men partly because she was so secure in her father's affections. Maybe there's a bit of that going on. My Dad adores me, and so I just assume I can replicate that with some random chap, and of course I can't.
Nothing ruffles my Dad's feathers. He is as calm, patient and unlikely to react as an inert gas. He is never cross. The only thing that irritates him is Wasting Money: lights being left on and suchlike. He has passed that on to me, I'm glad to say. The lights and heating are always off in the flat.
Dad lets everything else wash over him. He never explodes or shouts or storms off. He is a lifeboat for all of us in the turbulent ocean of life.
I love you Dad!

Local elected officials and employees,
I want to thank everyone who contributed to placing the new stop sign at the intersection of Lake Street and Dorsey Hill.
For over 20 years I have approached this intersection with trepidation. Now I feel safer in all directions.
I appreciate many of our officials' and employees' contributions to our community, and know I am ignorant of most.
This one is highly visible!

text: Better: To me, the most obvious is Mjolnir. I don't think the design could've been any better. Also, I think not having the Donald Blake identity was a good call. Worst: Even though I understand why the costume had to be the way it was, and it did grow on me somewhat, it just wasn't Thor enough. I don't think the actors playing Volstagg and Heimdall were the best choices.

Raising children with disabilities can be challenging and rewarding, often within the same day — or even hour.
Our emotions as parents are complicated. We can simultaneously feel like giving up and also be ready to go to the ends of the earth for our children.
We experience high highs and low lows. We fight battles for our kids to get them services, appointments, accommodations, understanding and acceptance.
We often fail and feel hopeless. Yet the littlest bit of progress sparks intense pride and joy.
There is no textbook for parenting a child with disabilities. We are left to navigate this journey without clear instructions.

Fitness apps to be promoted through the NHS
The Department of Health has launched a "framework for action" to improve the nation's activity levels through the use of digital technology.
In its Personalised Health and Care 2020 mission statement, the department's National Information Board has set out a bold vision for how technology should work harder and better for patients by 2020. This will include promoting the use of smartphone apps approved by the NHS to patients who could benefit from taking control of their own activity regime.
NHS England's national director for Patients and Information, Tim Kelsey, said: "We must embrace modern technology to help us lead healthier lives, and take more control." He went on to detail how, starting in 2015, NHS 'kitemarks' will be used for apps which meet specific standards, meaning app developers could "take advantage of the trust people have in the NHS brand".
"Being smarter with data and technology has the potential to make a world of difference to patients, while ensuring best value for the taxpayer," said chief nursing officer for England, Jane Cummings. "Aside from the clear benefits for patient care, better use of technology will help create a more efficient NHS."
The health service already supports NHS Choices, an app store launched in 2013, which is regularly reviewed to ensure clinical safety. The library was set up by the NHS Commissioning Board in collaboration with Creative England - a national agency that invests in digital media. Of the 500 or so apps currently promoted by the library, 16 are fitness related and include a yogic breathing trainer which allows users to calculate their heat rate by putting a fingertip on the rear camera lens, and the ukactive-run app Spogo, which brings together 90,000 sports and leisure clubs, personal trainers and events in a directory style format.

Barrett calls for focus on preparation for international disasters
John Barrett, Liberal Democrat MP for Edinburgh West, today called on the Government to better prepare for international disasters after a new report criticised the lack of funds committed by the international community to prepare for global catastrophes.
A major new report published today by the International Development Select Committee called for more focus on preparation for potential disasters rather than and raised concerns that there was a lack of political will to commit the necessary funds.
John Barrett, a member of the International Development Select Committee, said:
"In recent years we have seen more and more people hit by natural disasters and yet political decision makers are failing to make responsible preparations.
"New technology has massively improved our ability to accurately forecast 'slow-onset disasters', such as food crises. However, this has not been matched by the political will to deal with the problem and pre-empt humanitarian catastrophes.
"Lives saved by good planning before a disaster may not make such good television as people being pulled from rubble by rescue teams. However, spending money on preventative measures before a disaster is far more effective in terms of lives saved than picking up the pieces after the event."
The Committee will be publishing its Report on Humanitarian response to natural disasters on Thursday 2 November 2006 at 00.01 a.m. as the Seventh Report from the Committee, Session 2005-06.

At this year's Missouri Milk, Food, and Environmental Health Association conference we had the honor of awarding our annual Hainline Heritage Charitable Foundation scholarship in the amount of $1000 to Brooklyn Lampe. Brooklyn is a senior in the Environmental Health program at MSSU, who plans to pursue her studies into graduate school. Larry Hunt, Darleen Hainline, and I had the honor of presenting her with the scholarship check, a hug, and a homemade apple pie.
Brooklyn presented her short speech after the program:
You could say I found myself in the environmental health program by chance. I had taken several science classes and pre-engineering courses in high school. I enjoyed science, but I did not want to be a doctor. I transferred to Missouri Souther State University and found the environmental health program. The small number of accredited programs interested me with the knowledge that I would be receiving an education that I could not get just anywhere else. In environmental health, I found a career path that allows me to utilize many of my strengths and to be surrounded by people who support me as well as something I find interesting and enjoy. I had previously been a biology engineering major with and emphasis in environmental; however, as a woman in engineering peers often doubt your ability. When I go to class, I know that the Environmental Health Program is where I am meant to be and that I am going to be successful in my future.
After graduating with my environmental health degree from Missouri Southern State University, I am planning to continue my education with a master's degree in either environmental health or public health. I want to go into epidemiology, it was my first class in the environmental health program, and I loved it. I am particularly interested in vector-borne diseases and food-borne illnesses. I would like to work for a state health department and eventually I would like to teach as a professor of environmental health, because I enjoy helping people. In my career, I would like to help protect the public from disease outbreaks and work to identify sources of disease. However, regardless of what I end up accomplishing in my career there is one thing I want to do and that is to spread awareness of the world around us. People often under-appreciate what we have surrounding us, and the impact environmental health has on human life as we know it, and I want to change that. I would like to thank the Hainline Heritage Charitable Foundation for this award, and the Missouri Milk, Food, and Environmental Health Association for all the support they provided to environmental health professionals.
– Brooklyn Lampe
We had a great time at the conference and are very proud of Brooklyn. Keep in touch Brooklyn and tell us what you're up to in the future. We look forward to seeing great things from you in epidemiology, or another specialty!
Dr. Fletcher, thanks for the good work with your students. You are making a difference and we appreciate it!

LONDON — The opening of Britain's largest-ever survey of Ai WeiWei at the Royal Academy of Arts this week has featured an important — and, until recently, unexpected — guest: the Chinese artist-activist himself.
Two months ago Mr. Ai had no right to leave China; his passport had been taken away. The last time he attended the opening of one of his own international shows was at Tate Modern in 2010.
The restrictions have in no way affected Mr. Ai's ubiquity on the global art scene. By his own count he has staged more than 100 solo shows and taken part in 350 group shows since 2004, the vast majority outside of China. An additional 20 solo exhibitions are coming up in the next two years.
"I am really like a superintendent in a big building, just running up and down to fix all the pipes: My phone flashes like a Christmas tree," Mr. Ai, whose passport was returned this summer, said before an interview last week at his London hotel.
The 58-year-old artist has played a big role in his Royal Academy show, which opens to the public on Saturday and runs through Dec. 13 — including drawing up the layout plans and choosing pieces remotely (he arrived here on Sept. 6). Forty-five works from 1985 to today — many of them recycling ancient Chinese artifacts, temple fragments and antique furniture — are arranged in neatly ordered groups across 11 galleries. The two largest installations are the most powerful: "S.A.C.R.E.D." (2012), a six-part diorama with painted fiberglass figures representing Mr. Ai's secret 81-day detention in 2011, and "Straight" (2008-12), a 96-ton floor sculpture made of steel reinforcing bars salvaged from shabbily built schools that collapsed in the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, killing more than 5,000 children.
The aim of the show is to "reconnect people with what Ai Weiwei does, rather than who he is," said Adrian Locke, who curated it with the Royal Academy's artistic director, Tim Marlow. "We want people to think of him as more than a thorn in the side of the Chinese government."
The survey ushers in a new phase in Mr. Ai's career, during which he plans to spend a lot of time in Europe. He has taken on a three-year guest professorship at the Berlin University of the Arts, in the city where his 6-year-old son, Ai Lao, just started school. Some critics and curators are wondering, however, whether the art he makes outside China will be as compelling as the art from within.
The artist emphasized in the interview at his hotel that he was up to the task.
"I want to forget about China and do something which surprises me," he said. "Why do I have to be labeled? I'm not a car seller. Nothing can replace freedom, and that's a challenge, and I'm ready for that."
Mr. Ai said it felt "very strange" to be in Europe. He said he thought that he would never leave China. "It takes quite a while to adjust yourself mentally," he added, "because for too long you're very conscious every second that you are being watched. That's not a good feeling."
Works made in and about China dominate the academy show. Many have an accusatory tone, reflecting the artist's tussles with the authorities. Such works are not shown in China, because there, "you cannot touch all those topics which are completely forbidden," Mr. Ai said. "The police would say those are high-voltage lines, and whoever touches them dies," so there is "censorship and self-censorship."
A good example of a provocative work is "S.A.C.R.E.D.," the detention diorama. Transported out of China for the 2013 Venice Biennale, it consists of six giant iron containers with tiny apertures through which viewers see two uniformed Chinese guards hovering over a despondent Mr. Ai as he eats, sleeps, showers and sits on the toilet.
Despite the risks Mr. Ai still makes daring work. Asked to identify a favorite piece in the academy show, he picked "The Art Book" (2014), a vitrine with two versions of the publication bought at a hotel in China: an English-language copy — with a dedicated Ai Weiwei page — and the Chinese version, where Ai Weiwei is replaced by the Renaissance sculptor Agostino di Duccio. His other favorite is "Marble Stroller" (2014), a marble sculpture of his son's stroller that he designed after discovering photographs of the stroller on the memory card of a secret policeman's camera.
The artist's hatred of tyranny dates to his childhood, when his father, the prominent poet Ai Qing, was banished with his family to northwestern China and sentenced to hard labor. For five years his father cleaned public toilets. They were "a mess," Mr. Ai recalled in a burst of boyish humor — fly-infested in summer, iced over in winter, the accumulated waste forming "a frozen pagoda." (Mr. Ai said last week that he was writing a book — part family memoir, part cultural history — about the 100 years separating the births of his father and son.)
At 23, after his father's rehabilitation, Mr. Ai set off alone for the United States. He briefly attended the Parsons School of Design in New York and made art — including a coat hanger reshaped to resemble the artist Marcel Duchamp's profile, which is in this exhibition.
When he returned to China in 1993, Mr. Ai became fascinated by traditional Chinese artifacts and architecture, and their deliberate destruction post-1949. The photographic triptych "Dropping a Han Dynasty Urn" (1995, at the Royal Academy), shows him shattering an authentic artifact — at once committing and condemning cultural vandalism. He covers other priceless pots with industrial paint or with the Coca-Cola logo.
"So much of his practice is about cultural artifacts as readymades — the material produce of Chinese culture, or the sets of skills that are behind those objects, being repurposed," said Philip Tinari, director of the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing.
Mr. Ai spent the 1990s co-founding a gallery in Beijing, taking part in the 1999 Venice Biennale and opening his self-designed studio.
By the early 2000s — when he helped design Beijing's 2008 Olympic stadium, nicknamed the Bird's Nest, with the Swiss architects Herzog & De Meuron — Mr. Ai's career had taken off. Inspired by Andy Warhol, he turned his personal experiences into art and at the same time became increasingly radicalized.
On a blog started in 2005 and censored in 2009, Mr. Ai published about 2,700 posts criticizing China's state policies. His campaign to identify the dead Sichuan schoolchildren led to his beating and subsequent brain hemorrhage, the wrecking of his Shanghai studio and his arrest. Besides the steel bar work "Straight," Sichuan is remembered at the Royal Academy in a disturbing video and lengthy wall printouts of the schoolchildren's names.
Mr. Ai's global fame was buttressed with the 2010-11 "Sunflower Seeds" installation at Tate Modern: 100 million porcelain seeds hand-painted by workshops in China. He was nonetheless arrested the following year at the Beijing airport, en route to Hong Kong. After his release his studio was fined 15 million renminbi, about $2.4 million, in back taxes and penalties.
Today Asian and Western collectors covet his works, said his gallerist, Greg Hilty, the curatorial director at the Lisson Gallery in London. These range in price from tens of thousands of pounds (for the smallest ceramic works) to the record 3.4 million pounds, or about $5.4 million, paid for a group of Chinese Zodiac animal heads at Phillips in June, Mr. Hilty said.
In a hint of where his art may be headed Mr. Ai made giant Lego portraits of international prisoners of conscience such as Nelson Mandela and Edward J. Snowden at Alcatraz prison near San Francisco for an exhibition that ran through April. The installations "spoke to human rights on a global scale," said Sharon Matt Atkins, who oversaw Mr. Ai's show at the Brooklyn Museum in 2014. "I'll be interested to see if that is something that he continues."
Regardless of his new direction Mr. Ai will keep making interesting art, said Mr. Tinari of the Ullens Center in Beijing. "For Weiwei, China is not a cultural identity or a physical place: It's a set of conditions and ideas, and these infiltrate his thinking and his art at every level. I'm really excited to see how he reacts to the ability to travel again."

I have to admit; when I saw the Making Every Day Bright stamp set in the Holiday catalogue, I thought it was cute, but not 'must have'. Then, my team member Lynn lent it to me, to see what I could make with it. I happened to see a cute idea on one of the many demonstrator-only pages (Facebook or Stampin' Up!, I don't remember which). I thought it was cute, so I decided to expand on it! Here it is – making every day bright penguin style!
I love penguins! Anything penguin; the real animals, stuffed toys, mugs, etc. I just think they're adorable, and amazing. So of course, that's the image I used from the Making Every Day Bright set. There's a total of 27 photopolymer stamps in this set; the main ones are shaped like Christmas bulbs, and then there are add-ons. This set is made to coordinate with the Making Christmas Bright stamp set, and the Christmas Bulb Builder Punch. You can purchase those 2 together as a Bundle, to save 10%.
I was having such fun creating this scene, I was giggling away while creating! Good thing no one else was home at the time; though they're used to me talking to myself while I stamp.
I'm still smiling when I see this! Aren't those penguins in touques just too cute?!
First, create a card base of Balmy Blue cardstock. Add a 4″ x 5 1/4″ panel of Whisper White cardstock on top. To create the 3 levels of snow, use extra strips of Whisper White cardstock, the Big Shot and the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits. If you own the Farmhouse Framelits or In The Woods Framelits sets, both of these have a curved line piece that you can use to create the hills. I don't have either of those, so the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits worked just fine!
Add ink to the top of each 'hill' with a Sponge Dauber and the Balmy Blue ink pad. Use the Big Shot with the Santa's Signpost Framelits to die cut 1 large and 4 medium snowflakes from Pool Party cardstock. Sponge each of the snowflakes with the Dauber and Balmy Blue ink. Next, on scraps of white cardstock, stamp 5 of the penguins in Tuxedo Black Memento ink. Colour the hats of each of the penguins with Stampin' Write Markers. I used Real Red, Balmy Blue, Garden Green, Tranquil Tide and Pineapple Punch.
Stamp the signpost and the stack of presents, from the Signs of Santa stamp set, onto white cardstock in the Memento ink. Use the same Stampin' Write Markers to colour the post and presents, and use a Crumb Cake marker to colour the sign. Die cut each one, again with the Santa's Signpost Framelits. You can purchase the Bundle of Signs of Santa stamp set and Santa's Signpost Framelits, and save yourself 10%! Plus, the Framelits also die cut many of the images on the Santa's Workshop Specialty DSP (so do yourself a favour – get the Bundle!)
Lastly, stamp the sentiment from the Signs of Santa stamp set onto another scrap of white cardstock, with Memento ink. I used the Everyday Label Punch for the sentiment; it was too large, so I simply punched one end at a time, sliding the cardstock through the middle of the punch, to punch each end.
Now that all of your pieces are ready, you can put together your card front. Layer each of the snow banks with Stampin' Dimensionals. Make sure to leave room near the top, so you can fit in your penguins & sign. Next, tuck in the penguins, attaching them with Dimensionals, then add in the signpost and presents. I like the penguin looking like he's peeking out from behind the signpost! Now you can attach your sentiment, with Dimensionals, and finally, the snowflakes. How fun is this?! It may be too many steps for a mass-produce card, but for a special someone, I think they'd love it.
You know my mantra – always add a panel of white cardstock to the inside of your card, and add some stamping!
I finished off the outside sentiment with the 'and more' from the Signs of Santa stamp set. The other is from the Dashing Deer stamp set. I just had to add a little 'peek-a-boo' penguin in the bottom corner – again, to pull together the inside with the outside.
The Holiday catalogue is now online, and you can order all of the products in it! To order any of the ones I used on this card, just click on the product images below. Or you can click on my signature. You'll be taken to my online store, which is open 24/7 for your convenience.
Thanks for spending some time with me today! I'd love to hear what you think of my cute little penguin card – please leave a comment, if you have time!
