Day 136: May 23rd, 2012 = COMPLETE!!!!!
Cardio was = Walking
Dance of the Day was = "A Hard Day's Night" by The Beatles
Improvised Acting Video I uploaded to my other blog was = "Conference Room Disappointment"
Anything to Note =
I know what you are thinking? How crazy is she? Two Beatles songs in a row!! Woah!! Wowza!! She gone crazo yo!! – clearly I am after that remark!!! HAHA!! These songs both just popped up by themselves on my ipod shuffle – you think I have time to choose songs????!!!! I don't even have time to pee!!!!!!!!!!
It must be a tribute to Stuart since he is out-of-town on work in Chicago until Saturday and The Beatles are his "thang" so perhaps the ether misses him?? Or I miss him?? Or my ipod misses him??
Crazy crazy crazy day. Crazy crazy week, or 10 days (or YEAR…don't get me started!!)
But yet another crazy crazy day.
What is it about being so super busy and then getting MORE stuff on top of that, all at the same time?! Huh??!! When you think that it's just not possible to get any busier and boom somehow it happens!! Things always happen at once, I know. But, this is happening a lot so somewhere there needs to be a break or a "normal" day or at least "semi-normal"….whatever that means. It just can't be crazy EVERY day, you know??
Although, it's starting to get to that shake-my-head-with-tight-mouthed-smile place as there just is nothing else I can do but that.
I was on my blackberry through-out the whole of rehearsal today. Literally. Sadly. I was on my blackberry so much that it died before 2pm!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's how much!! Luckily, I thought about bringing my charger with me today otherwise I would have been screwed. The last two days it died at around 7pm so was do-able so I made sure to pack the charger on me today – and thank god I remembered!
And of course it's just lucky that I am the queen of successful multi-tasking! Or able to be. Or also good at sneaking me doing work while in rehearsal.
Although this is actually kind of sad and frustrating to tell you the truth, as this is supposed to be an amazing opportunity for me to be working with the one and only Jose Rivera, and I'm already splitting my understudying hat with co-producing hat, and that is okay, but then to also be soooo relied upon for office work is just a little sad. It is frankly a little unfair. But I see no other way around it unfortunately. I feel too guilty, I have a new employee that just started and needs help, and rightly so, at the office when I am in rehearsal, and I am just better at dealing with the multi-tasking then my boss is and just know more or able to help out better, especially in the times of panic today!!!
Every day cannot be a crisis though, as literally over the last 10 days, it seems there is always something with a deadline, that's life or death in nature or that is how it is presented, at work….
I can't say 'when will the drama stop' as I thrive on drama being an actor 🙂 BUT….I have enough drama all over and around and coming out of my armpits (yup, crazy!) that the office drama on top, right now, is just…..like…..
No words really.
Just this…

Our English Breakfast blend is a brisk tea with a fresh aroma and a full flavour. Being grown so close to the equator it is naturally rich in antioxidants. Our English Breakfast Tea is a bold bright brew to enjoy at any time particularly as a refreshing breakfast blend to kick start your day. A superior tasting and healthy alternative to standard teas.
Loose Leaf Retail Tins (75 g):
Retail Tins of loose leaf tea.
Loose Leaf Tea Pouches (100g):
Pouches with plastic wrapper for long term freshness. Ensure highest quality is retained.
Retail Tea Gems:
30 wrapped Tea gem sachets in a retail box. Our pyramid shaped tea bags allow our whole leaf tea to fully unfurl and release the flavours and colours of each of our very special teas.
Our Tea Gems give our tea leaves the room they need to fully unfurl while infusing – so much so the unfurled leaf tea very nearly fills the pyramid shaped tea bag. We never fail to be amazed by how much the tea leaves open up – every time we make a cup of tea!
All of our teas are sourced from Sri Lanka, known as the'Island of Jewels' because of the rich deposits of precious stones found in its soil. Instead of the standard tea bag, our tea bags are pyramid shaped (like a gemstone) to allow the whole leaves within to circulate, fully unfurl and infuse – thereby fully releasing the fine tastes and beautiful colours of our luxury teas.

It was hardly six hours ago that I bitched about "the tragedy-sploitation vortex of product placement and media pandering" the tenth anniversary of 9/11 will inevitably engender, in my commentary on "Cartoonists Remember September 11," the joint effort of a group of the Sunday paper's worst comics to commemorate the anniversary of the attacks. And then, just like magic, along comes an example of exactly that phenomenon so perfect it couldn't possibly be more perfect if Jesus had custom-tailored it just for me: From the maw of St. Louis publisher Really Big Coloring Books, behold We Shall Never Forget 9/11, a coloring book dedicated to teaching your little ones about "a radical Islamic Muslim extremist terrorist group."
Actually, make that "freedom-hating radical Islamic Muslim extremists," (see paragraph 3 below), since one reference to Islam is probably not enough to convey that Muslims hate freedom. Luckily, as the book helpfully illustrates, they will also get their just desserts.
"In this book," the publisher's synopsis informs us, "you will see what happens to a terrorist who orders others to bomb our peace loving wonderful nation." Because even if they hide behind one of their multiple heathen wives, as this illustration shows, America's brave counter-Jihadists are going to take them out anyway with a holy motherfucking bullet of justice and liberty. That's what happens.
I mean, that's just the truth, right? Today, Really Big Coloring Books publisher Wayne Bell told NBC, "We're not making statements. There's no statement attached to this book. This book is based on market research. It's based on what people tell us they're looking for," Bell said. Welp, I guess the Muslim outrage over all this is just one big, elaborate misunderstanding.
Still, Bell said that same thing when he published The Tea Party Coloring Book for Kids, so... well, let's just say maybe it's a little political.

The Omni/Whip kit is ideal for situations in which you have 3+ bars of signal strength outside, but not enough signal on the inside of your property. With it, dead-zones can be a thing of the past in 1-2 rooms in your home, and you can enjoy greater connectivity.
Top Features.
Increases signal strength in 1 to 2 rooms. Boosts Voice and 3G data. Reduces dropped calls and makes conversations clearer. Enhances Internet, email and text speeds. For homes & offices where outdoor signals are reasonable. Simple to self install.
Who It's For?
The SureCall FlexPro Omni Whip Cell Phone Signal Booster is intended for use in situations where signal strength needs to be increased in just one or two rooms in the building, and where the existing outdoor signal strength is strong enough to give you at least 3 bars on your cell phone.
It's ideal for any homeowner or business owner who has a problematic dead zone in a certain area of a home or building, or for increasing signal strength in the part of the home or building where mobile devices are most often used. This system is the right choice for circumstances where 2G and 3G connectivity need to be improved.
How It Works.
With the SureCall FlexPro Omni Whip Cell Phone Signal Booster, you get an omni antenna to mount outdoors. This antenna captures the 2G and 3G signals produced by all carriers and transmitted by cell phone towers. The antenna passes those signals through the included wireless booster, which then transmits them through your space with a whip that's attached to it. Then, your phone or tablet picks up the signals for your specific carrier at a greater decibel level for better performance.

You can use the SureCall FlexPro Omni Whip Cell Phone Signal Booster with:
Any smartphone or tablet model that has 3G connectivity. Any USA cell phone carrier. Buildings where signal strength outdoors is 3 bars or more. The system operates on frequencies of 850 mHz and 1900 mHz.

DOT Seeks to Reduce Car Crashes Through Connected Vehicle Technology
Travel Technology Patrick Clarke December 14, 2016
The U.S. Department of Transportation issued a proposed rule Tuesday aimed at advancing the deployment of connected vehicle technology in an effort to drastically reduce the number of car accidents on U.S. roadways, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced.
The proposed rule would require new light-duty vehicles to be equipped with vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication technology, which essentially lets vehicles "talk" to each other to avoid crashes.
The DOT estimates implementing the technology could prevent hundreds of thousands of car accidents each year.
In addition to requiring automakers to install connected vehicle technology in new vehicles, the proposed rule seeks to require V2V devices to "speak the same language" through standardized messaging.
"We are carrying the ball as far as we can to realize the potential of transportation technology to save lives," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx in a statement accompanying Tuesday's announcement. "This long promised V2V rule is the next step in that progression. Once deployed, V2V will provide 360-degree situational awareness on the road and will help us enhance vehicle safety."

Looking ahead, the DOT's Federal Highway Administration plans to issue guidance for Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communications, which will allow vehicles to communicate with roadway infrastructure like traffic lights and road signs.
The NHTSA estimates that crash-avoidance applications enabled by both V2V and V2I could eliminate up to 80 percent of non-impaired car accidents, including crashes that occur at intersections or while drivers are changing lanes.
"Advanced vehicle technologies may well prove to be the silver bullet in saving lives on our roadways," said NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind in a statement. "V2V and automated vehicle technologies each hold great potential to make our roads safer, and when combined, their potential is untold."

Last Saturday I was actually organized enough to get out of the apartment & get to the Metreon in time to catch a 10:30am showing of this 3D movie. I love visual spectacles like this. Completely thin on content but so much fun to watch. Whoever filmed it must have an obsession about eating, because it was all about sea creatures eating other sea creatures.
And I learned something too. I didn't know that squids could flash different colors or that corals all spawned on the same night each year. I wish there were more of these movies.

In the café coronary syndrome, a large object (often poorly chewed meat) lodges in the larynx or trachea, causing nearly complete airway obstruction. Respiratory distress, aphonia, cyanosis, loss of consciousness, and death occur in quick succession unless the object is dislodged. When the degree of obstruction is less severe or when the aspirated object descends beyond the carina, the presentation is less dramatic. Sudden onset of the classic triad (ie, coughing, wheezing, decreased breathing sounds) is frequently not observed.
Presenting symptoms (other than cough) include fever, hemoptysis, dyspnea, and chest pain. A history of a choking episode is not always obtained or may have initially been ignored or misdiagnosed. Most patients or parents can identify a specific episode of choking; however, presentation is often delayed by more than a week. The latency period prior to the onset of symptoms may last months or years if the foreign body is inert bone or inorganic material.
Patients may have been empirically treated for other conditions, even when a choking episode was witnessed. Patients with chronic symptoms may have been erroneously diagnosed as having asthma or chronic bronchitis. Young children and patients with neurologic or psychiatric disorders are at increased risk for aspiration but might not be able to describe symptoms or to report choking episodes.
Other risk factors include institutionalization, old age, poor dentition, and alcohol or sedative use. A presentation of cyanosis, cough, wheeze, incompletely resolved pneumonia, or localized bronchiectasis should raise suspicion of foreign body aspiration, particularly in individuals at risk for foreign body aspiration. Seek information about a history of impaired swallowing, impaired coughing, traumatic loss of consciousness, intoxication, or oropharyngeal surgery.
A small number of foreign body aspirations are incidentally found after chest radiography or bronchoscopic inspection. Patients may be asymptomatic or may be undergoing testing for other diagnoses. If present, physical findings may include stridor, fixed wheeze, localized wheeze, or diminished breath sounds. If obstruction is severe, cyanosis may occur. Signs of consolidation can accompany postobstructive pneumonia.
Children are at risk for putting small toys, candies, or nuts into their mouths. Children aged 1-3 years chew incompletely with incisors before their molars erupt, and objects or fragments may be propelled posteriorly, triggering a reflex inhalation.
Among adults, the following conditions, actions, and procedures facilitate foreign body aspiration:
Impaired swallow reflex
Impaired cough reflex
Mental retardation
Alcohol or sedative use
Poor dentition
Dental, pharyngeal, or airway procedures
Altered sensorium
Loss of consciousness
Maxillofacial trauma
Frequently aspirated objects include food (especially nuts and seeds), teeth, dental appliances, and medical instruments. The original event might have been forgotten. Choking with severe dyspnea, leading to respiratory or cardiac arrest while eating, might be initially misdiagnosed as myocardial ischemia.

You've probably heard the term SEO a few times, especially if you run a small business and have to speak with your marketing or web design agency now and then.
As a busy person, you probably don't have all the time in the world for meetings where everyone seems to speak in acronyms and letters. Knowing your SEO from your PPC and all that gobbledygook about conversions and CPCs is important to the health of your business. The problem is finding someone to explain it all in simple English. Never fear! That's why I'm here.
So if you are a web designer or developer this may not float your boat; I'm reaching out to those who don't understand all that techie stuff but do understand the importance of getting and keeping customers.
Why is SEO so important?
First of all, SEO stands for "search engine optimisation". Doesn't quite roll off the tongue does it? What it means is making sure your website is in the best possible shape it can be for it to appear in search engine results.
It is important because people use search engines to find businesses like yours and if they can't find you they most certainly will find your competition.
SEO is about putting your at the top of the page when someone asks a question on a search engine like Google and Bing.
How does it work?
How much time do you have? Let's look at what search engines care about.
Let's say you sell skin cream in Poole and I'm local, searching online for an ice-cream parlour. If my search results list your website and I click on the link, I've just wasted five seconds of my life that I'll never get back. Apart from that I no longer trust the search engine to deliver relevant information or the descriptions in your website. So by default, I don't trust you.
There was a time when SEO was about stuffing your page with keywords that had Iittle to do with the website was about. Nowadays search engines penalise this practice, demoting your ranking and blacklisting the site.
Search engines are all about getting to the information that matters, anything that gets in the way of that happening will harm your SEO . Jargon that's hard to understand text too Small to read or colours that don't Contrast very well are all things you should avoid.
You've heard the term 'crawling' used to describe search engines going through a website. No? Well, you have now. When search engines crawl your site they are looking for a trail to follow; a structure. Your site navigation needs to make sense as does the copy on each page. The way to do this is to use headings to break up long chunks of text into meaningful parts. Use different heading levels starting with heading level 1 to lay out your copy so the narrative flows. This article shows how I've used heading levels with "How does it work?" at level 1 and "Relevance", "Accessibility" and "Structure" at a lower level so the reader and the search engines can see the relationship between them.
If people are visiting your site, search engines believe there's something to see, something interesting and useful. If they're talking about your site on other sites and social media platforms like Facebook, even better!
Your site ranks higher the more popular it is and in the early days of SEO, all it took was people clicking on your website to push you up in the rankings. Those days are gone. Now, search engines want to see links from popular sites and social media back to your website. They want to see those links popping up in forums, news feeds and messaging apps. The more this happens the more relevant your site becomes. Ultimately it starts to climb up in search results related to your business.
So what can you do?
Take a look at your website and ask yourself the following questions, if the answer to any of them is 'no', you have some work to do.
Is your website responsive?
Or in other words, can it be viewed on mobile devices like phones and tablets. If it can't then you need to change it. Why? Because it is not accessible to people who use mobile devices and that's a pretty big number. OK so you may not be a web designer, but there are a number of website builder apps and there's always WordPress. You don't need to be a techie to set up a site using one of those platforms and a responsive site is the first rule of good SEO. I'd go so far as to call it a prerequisite. If you want to learn how to put a WordPress site together, check out this upcoming course.
Does each page have a relevant keyword in the title?
Or in the first line of text. Why does this matter and what's a keyword? Well, remember relevance we mentioned above? If I get to your page looking for the price of milk and the first line reads 'history of milk' I will hit that back button so fast and head back to Google looking for something relevant. It won't matter that what I'm looking for is halfway down the page, you had your 2.5 seconds and blew it. In this case "milk" is the keyword although in today's SEO world you want long-tail keywords like "price of milk" because we search in phrases and questions, not in single words.
Look at the copy on your page and see if the keywords relevant to your audience appear high up in the page. If they don't, change the sentence. A client wasn't doing too well in the ranking stakes for the phrase "Best Nigerian restaurant in London". A quick look at their site showed the phrase didn't appear anywhere on the content of their page. A change to the page titles, headings and the first line of text soon sorted that out. They quickly went from the fourth page in the search results to the first, just with that simple tweak.
Does it load quickly?
If it doesn't, see above. Your 2.5 seconds is up. Google has a page speed test (yes you can Google it) which tells you how your page performs on mobile and desktop. Run a test and send it to your web designer to sort it.
Can people share your content?
You should have a way for visitors to quickly share content with their friends and networks so get some sharing buttons on each page, especially product pages. People always ask "where can I buy this?" or "Anyone know a company that …?" so if they can't pop a link to your product into a WhatsApp chat or 'pin' a great pair of shoes from your site on their board, your site won't do too well in the popularity stakes.
Do your images on the page have alternative text?
Say what? OK if you're using a PC or Mac, hover the mouse over an image on your site, some text should appear – that's alternative text. Search engines use it to populate search results for images and people who use assistive technology to browse websites will have that read out to them. So you need to make sure that you have alternative text for each image and that it is relevant to what's on the page; the context it is used in. Back to our milk example. If you want to use a picture of a cow to illustrate your milk delivery service and you just use that word as alternative text, you've missed a trick. Try "our milk comes from free range cows" for a better SEO effect.
Does each page have metadata keywords and descriptions embedded in the code?
One for your web designer or developer to answer maybe. If you are curious, you can open up the website, right-click on the page and choose "View source" from the menu. Don't be alarmed by the code that pops up, just press the key combination Ctrl +F and a search box pops up. Type <meta name="description or <meta name="keywords, if nothing comes up you need to have a word with your web designer.
This is just to give you an idea of what SEO is about and what you can do to improve your site's SEO. It is much more complex than this, but I hope the principles will set you on the right path to making your site more SEO friendly.

De Blasio horse deal creates a new mess
The deal announced Sunday night by the de Blasio administration to limit carriage horses to Central Park was only the beginning of what's likely to be a messy process for the mayor.
The problem is that while Mayor Bill de Blasio is claiming compromise, a key party to the deal — the unionized carriage drivers and stable owners — tell me that it's not yet settled. They are intent on holding off a nonbinding agreement to cut roughly half the number of horses in the city until they are sure a promised stable in Central Park will really be built.
At the same time, the mayor also picked a fight with a new set of people: Central Park advocates who are about to lose public space to a private industry, and the pedicab drivers, thrown in at the last minute to placate the carriage drivers, who are now exiled north of 85th Street.
This arrangement will remind New Yorkers of the unseemly reasons the de Blasio administration is so invested in an issue so few people care about. De Blasio may be morally opposed to horse-drawn carriages, but it is significant that well-funded animal rights advocates helped sink rival Christine Quinn in the 2013 Democratic primary. They operated a private group that took advantage of campaign finance regulations loosened by the Citizens United decision.
For a method of transportation that has been obsolete for a century, this is a complicated issue, involving, in no particular order rickshaws, Ringling Brothers Circus, real estate on the far West Side, Citizens United and Liam Neeson.
Let's start with some recent history. After famously promising to ban horse drawn carriage entirely during his first week in office, de Blasio soon realized that his constituents cared about other things. Pre-k, police unrest and housing took up his time.
Though Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito also backed the ban, her rank-and-file members weren't as interested. During a time of economic uncertainty, drivers could note they were among the vanishing middle-class unionized workers Democrats claim to champion. The Daily News launched an effective campaign, relentlessly hammering the mayor, while on the other side the advocates who helped get him elected needled him for failing to use his limited political capital to twist arms.
Last summer, de Blasio began to look for an out. He ordered private consultants to study the implications not just of a ban -- but of restricting horses to the park. (A spokesman for the city's Economic Development Corporation says studies have cost just under $200,000.)
By Thanksgiving, his aides were huddling privately with the drivers and the Council at the downtown offices of the drivers' union lobbyist, Heather Beaudoin. In her funky-looking conference room, coffee was poured and numbers were thrown out: City Hall wanted 30 carriages (down from the current 68).
The Teamsters, of course, balked. They saw their cause not just as protecting jobs, but also preserving sanity in the face of "the crazies" in the animal rights movement, said driver and advocate Stephen Malone. In fact, about a year ago, Malone tried a joint campaign with Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey -- no strangers to protests alleging animal cruelty.
"We were going to try to work together in some way," Malone said. "Let's tell our story."
That ended when the circus did away with its famed elephant act.
So why did the Teamsters negotiate at all? After all, for months, the union claimed near-unshakeable support from the Council, all while de Blasio's approval rating continued to drop.
"The mayor is the mayor, and he is going to be the mayor for some time now, and it never hurts to see what people have to say," said Christina Hansen, a driver and industry advocate.
And what the mayor was now saying was he didn't intend to ban the horses, but to essentially codify their industry with what's shaping up to be a multimillion dollar stable. Another carrot for the drivers: all but doing away with the pesky pedicabs, whose aggressive jockeying for competing tourist fares sometimes left drivers with black eyes.
"We're protecting our territory," Malone said.
Though Malone's name is on the press release announcing the deal, he and others are now adding a wrinkle: resistance to giving up the horses until they are sure lawsuits won't scuttle the city-bought stable.
He sounds confident that his side got the best of the mayor.
"If I'm guessing he has a little bit of anger in himself that he couldn't get it done," Malone said of the Mayor's intended ban.
Another player agrees about the result, if not the merits.
"After promising to ban horse-drawn carriages on day one of his administration, Mayor de Blasio just gave them a monopoly in the most tourist-rich sections of Central Park," said Laramie Flick, a pedicab driver since 2004.
Pedicab leaders didn't know they were caught up until it was too late, even though the industry, by sheer numbers, is several times bigger.
De Blasio was asked Monday about the pedicabs.
"Look, we're obviously introducing a new element into Central Park with the horses, and I think it's a good choice," de Blasio said. "I think that's where they belong – but we had to make an adjustment in terms of the pedicabs for balance, and I think it's a fair outcome."
So did this placate the animal rights community? Not entirely. NYCLASS, the group that pummeled Quinn and bankrolled de Blasio, said through a spokesman that they were waiting until the bill's release to comment. Other advocates say de Blasio sold out.
"His silence allowed this false narrative to sweep over the city," said Donny Moss, an advocate and filmmaker, referring to the Daily News campaign.
Moss notes that under this deal, horses will still compete with cars in Central Park and that drivers will be tempted to overwork the horses to make up for lost revenue.
Rounding out the complaints, he said targeting the pedicabs was "almost racist," noting that many drivers are immigrants from Africa. (Moss later clarified that he believed this based upon the assessment of someone he had met, adding that pedicab drivers are being targeted because they lack the level of political clout as the horse carriage drivers.)
"These are working class people who are in far worse shape than the carriage drivers," Moss said.
Of course, De Blasio sees it differently.
"Look, it's not everything I wanted, I think I've been quite clear about that, but that's why we have a democratic process," he said.
Josh Robin is a political reporter and anchor at NY1.
NOTE: The original version of this article has been modified to include the parenthetical qualification from Moss. The original also estimated the cost of the city's studies at $450,000, before an EDC spokesman said the cost was lower.

Niche Academy
After eleven years of librarianship, I nearly have a memorized script to walk a patron through database access. And while my library has detailed written instructions to assist patrons with downloading e-books, half the time we also need to do a visual demonstration. We also experience enough part-time staff turnover to wish for a more streamlined, consistent training schedule.
Niche Academy is a new company focused on creating personalized training for organizations, including libraries. Idaho Falls Public Library now has courses for accessing Overdrive, OneClickDigital, several databases, and using our library's catalog. In the future, we will also have a series of courses for policies and procedures, to assist in training new staff consistently.
Utah State University's Merrill-Cazier Library is also using Niche Academy to train staff on their automated storage retrieval system BARN. Course topics include safety and selecting books for retrieval.
For the patron access side, Niche Academy produced all of the videos with just some basic information from our library and a test library card. Some of the videos are simple demonstrations but others have animations added, like Using the Auto Repair Center. We also have the option of creating our own content and posting it to our site on Niche Academy's platform. Eventually, we will incorporate the academy directly into our website but for now it's still in beta testing with our staff.
While this is still a very new company, I am excited about the potential for creating user-friendly training materials for patrons and library staff alike.

Parties are to commemorate special events and memorable occasions. However, what makes a party worthwhile and a happy occasion for both the host and his guests is perfect planning for such an event. Planning a surprise birthday party can be fun and exciting. The anticipation that the planner feels waiting for the reaction of the birthday person brings as much, if not more joy, than the actual birthday person's acknowledgement of the party. Organization is a major key for things to run smoothly so when planning a party, there are many important details to be remembered: setting, theme and decorations, menu, guest list, entertainment plan and r.
The First step is to decide on the date, place, and time of the party. Most parties take place on the weekends for the convenience of working class; however, if permitted you can have a party scheduled during the week. Be sure that the party does not conflict with the birthday person's schedule, because they have priority.
Once you have picked a date and time check to make sure your location will be available. Try choosing a place that you know your guest of honor will love, such as a favorite park or familiar hang out spot or even a place that has special sentimental value for the person. After you have confirmed that the date, place, and time are all available, it is time to choose a theme you would like to have. The theme is where you get ideas for your decorations, invitations, and even games. The theme is especially crucial when sending out invitations. Depending on what the invitation says it can tell your guest what type of party to expect, for example water party, skate, costume, etc. So you want to be sure that both your theme and invitation match up.
When choosing a theme be sure it is age appropriate and that everyone will feel neutral about. Once chosen, buy decorations to match. After choosing a theme it will be time to decide on a menu, which should be the easiest part of all. Finger foods are always a great route to go, because they are simple and you have a wide range to pick from. However if budget is an issue you can prepare simple platters such as fruit plates, sandwich trays, cheese and cracker trays, and vegetable trays. If you're throwing a party for a younger age group chips and hot dogs are always a winner. This is also the time to order the cake. The cake should match the theme or be a symbol of the birthday person's favorite character or hobby; also you should provide a variety of drinks.
The next step is choosing a guest list. When choosing this list, it is crucial to invite only those who you are sure the birthday fellow will enjoy. By inviting people whose company is unwanted drama is likely to follow. Also keep in mind that you can never invite too many people, because more than likely half will not show up and those who do just might bring a friend along.
To ensure your guests will have a jolly time, have great entertainment plan. DJ's are generally a great choice where they allow guests to enjoy their favorite songs, but they can be costly. However, if you need entertainment that fits your budget better try planning games such as, pin the tail on the donkey, hide and seek, dominoes, spades, and piñata. So use your imagination and be creative, also improvise whenever needed.
Finally, send out your invites be sure to include an r.s.v.p with a deadline. Make sure the deadline is at least a week before the party. This will allow you time to make changes if necessary. Include an end note informing your guest that food and drinks will be provided. Once your r.s.v.p. deadline has come, you can decide if you need to order more or less food and party favors.
To sum up, planning a birthday party is simple; it just requires time and dedication. Not only are they simple, but they can be quite inexpensive so long as you budget properly. If you follow these steps, your planning will go stress and hassle free. And as you run over a few last minute details and await the arrival of guest, relax and breathe; your party will have a great turn out and be the talk of the town.

For such a tiny thing, a young baby can put up a pretty big stink about getting dressed. He may not like being naked, for starters (which could change soon enough; many toddlers are famously exhibitionist!). His head may seem like it won't possibly fit through the neckline of his shirts, his arms are a bit floppy, and his legs may still be folded up like pretzels. But since you'll be changing his little duds many times a day, you'll want some tips to make the job more pleasant — for your baby and for you.
1. Start with user-friendly clothes. Look for stretchy fabrics; wide neck openings; loose sleeves, cuffs, and ankles; buttons, snaps, or zippers on the front of the garment instead of the back (the last thing you want to do after you've wrestled your baby into a shirt is flip him over to finish buttoning him up).
Lace may look adorable on your little girl, but it can be scratchy or even catch your baby's fingers, so save it for special occasions only.
And for nighttime diaper changes, sleeping gowns with stretchy hems at the bottom can be lifesavers.
2. Try an ounce of prevention. Especially if your baby is a frequent spitter-upper (or, later, a teething drooler), keep a bib on him — it's much easier to change than a shirt.
3. Learn some mom-tested techniques. Stretch neck openings as wide as you can before you ease them over your baby's head (starting at the back of the head often works best). Bunch T-shirts up in your fingers so there's less fabric passing over your baby's face at one time (unfurl once you have it around his neck). Reach into his sleeves and gently pull his arms out, rather than trying to push his stubby fists through easily tangled fabric.
More About Baby Sleep and Care
4. Distract, distract, distract! Entertain him with a toy, a silly song, or a game of peek-a-boo while you're doing the dressing deed. Talk to him about all the different parts of his body as you touch them (now you're not just distracting, you're teaching too).

It is with immeasurable joy and great pleasure that I welcome all to 2016 Ekimogun Day Celebration and the 10th year Installation Anniversary celebration marking my ascension to the throne of my forefathers.
Today's milestone is part of a journey flagged off with the presentation of staff of office on 2nd December, 2006, by the then Governor of Ondo State, His Excellency, Dr. Olusegun Agagu. It is not only a celebration of my emergence as the Osemawe and Paramount Ruler of Ondo Kingdom but more of a thanksgiving to the Almighty God, our heavenly Father who is the origin and the source of kings and kingdoms. We glorify God for the journey so far and, above all, for sparing our lives to witness today's auspicious occasion.
Having acknowledged God's divine hand in everything, I must also acknowledge the worthy human agents whom God Himself has used to move this kingdom forward.
In this regard, I wish to thank the Osemawe-in-Council for the unalloyed support and loyalty over this last decade. Their individual and collective roles as pillars behind the success recorded in the kingdom thus far cannot be adequately quantified.
I salute the effort and commitment of the Ukule, Elegbe, Ijama, Opojis. Your impact in your respective quarters are genuinely felt and highly appreciated. The Olojas have also shown remarkable effectiveness in their various areas of jurisdiction. I must also register my acknowledgment of the honorary chiefs. I thank you all.
Worthy of special mention and our sincere appreciation is our own son, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, the Executive Governor of Ondo State. His emergence as the Executive Governor of Ondo State during my reign is one of the most remarkable landmarks ordained by the Almighty God. His unprecedented performance across the state, coupled with his numerous contributions to the transformation of Ondo Kingdom have no doubt raised this kingdom shoulder high. It is our joy to celebrate this icon as an outstanding patriotic son of Ondo Kingdom.
I also, particularly want to appreciate the Ondo Development Committee (ODC) whose activities since its inauguration during the reign of Oba Itiade Adekolurejo, Jisomosun III, have been beyond comparison in this part of the world. I sincerely thank you all for your unparalleled effort in propelling this Kingdom forward.
Ladies and gentlemen, I am immensely proud that we Ondos had for long realized the need for joint action and collective responsibility. This awareness has for long brought the most enduring development to our great kingdom as we have zealously taken the bull by the horns in charting the course of our communal growth. It is such zeal that gave birth to the great Ondo Boys' High School as long ago as 1919. It is such progressive thinking that made Ondos establish the Ondo Specialist Hospital many years ago. In the same vein, all Ondos are justifiably proud of the ultra modern Oba Adesanoye Civic Centre, where this event is taking place. This is a centre built through our very productive and enviable communal effort. Each time I think of how richly endowed we are in terms of human and material resources, I am always appreciative of God for the vision and commitment of Ondo sons and daughters both home and abroad towards leaving behind an enduring legacy wherever we find ourselves.
In this connection, we must acknowledge the special contributions of the contemporary generations of Ondos in the Diaspora which are very remarkable indeed. In particular, the Ondo Unity Forum in the Americas (OUFA) and the Ondo Union of the United Kingdom. I salute you all for your contributions to the development of our fatherland.
Ever before my ascension to the throne, I had been conscious of the fact that, for any growth and development to occur anywhere, there must be peace. For happiness in a home there must be harmony.
Interestingly, peace and harmony which are essential ingredients for development have been the signpost of the progressive development in Ondo Kingdom since I ascended the throne.
From the bottom of my heart therefore and in strict obedience to my mandate as the Osemawe and Paramount Ruler of Ondo Kingdom, I want to passionately thank all Ondo sons and daughters first and foremost for their unequalled hospitality, while I extend my sincere appreciation to all my chiefs for the sustainability of peace in their respective quarters and domains.
The relative calm and mutual understanding being witnessed today amongst our people and amongst the diverse groups/tribes bear eloquent testimony to the internal mobilization of the entire citizenry towards peaceful co-existence in the Kingdom. Furthermore, while commending the Law enforcement agencies for discharging their duties effectively, I also want to publicly appreciate my youths in Ondo Kingdom for always comporting themselves in an orderly manner. Their loyalty to the throne has been thrilling and commendable.
I am happy and proud of the monumental development witnessed in the last decade. Indeed the Almighty God has dealt bountifully with us in all areas of human and infrastructural growth.
Educational progress has come to us in immense proportions, so also have we taken giant strides in the areas of health facilities. Thus we can boast of numerous Mega Schools, a good number of tertiary institutions, a University of Medical Sciences and even a medical village that has put Ondo city on the global map.
Our women now have markets of international standard which they can be proud of. Our township roads have also received commendable attention through the unflagging effort of the Ondo State Government.
The historic celebration of 500 years of the Osemawe dynasty in 2010 was not only a joyous source of pride to us all, it also acted as a catalyst for the emergence of many other valuable elements of growth in Ondo Kingdom.
Topmost of these elements was the proclamation of Ondo City on December 5, 2015, during the last Ekimogun Day celebration. Other manifestations of the City Vision include the establishment of the Ondo Kingdom Chamber of Commerce, Mines, Agriculture and Industry, the establishment of ICT Centres in the Kingdom, the construction of the City Gates and so on.
Some issues in progress currently being handled by the Infrastructure Committee include water supply to Ondo City and Ondo City Master Plan.
What is even more enduring is that the proclamation of the City status has further renewed and heightened the focus of Ondo sons and daughters on growth effort for the kingdom.
I must say that all our people have been involved at various levels, be it individual, committee or club. Permit me here to make mention of members of the Anniversary Committee, the Ondo Club 75, the Zenith Club as well as individuals like Otunba Noah Fadayomi, Mr. Steve Akinretoye and others whose indefatigable efforts have yielded all the numerous positive results that have made Ondo Kingdom a place of pride to us all. I thank you all.
One of the positive results of the Ondo City Vision came in the establishment of Eki FM, a proud achievement for all Ondos. For this I once again commend the Ondo Development Committee. This community-owned radio station is of world standard and the first of its kind around here. It is yet another testimony of our commitment to our city status. Interestingly this radio station is complemented by two other radio stations also in Ondo City, namely M & C 106FM and Kakaki Radio Stations. I joyfully applaud their respective owners.
At the level of personal recognition, I am highly delighted to put before you through God's favour that I have received the under-listed honours within this period:
- Appointment as Chancellor of a University
- The award of Doctor of Science (DSc.) and Doctor of Law (LLD) degrees from two reputable Universities.
- The conferment of Commander of Federal Republic (CFR) (which is the highest honour ever bestowed on any Oba).
- The conferment of the Honorary Citizenship of Dallas, USA, amongst many others, too numerous to mention.
It is with utmost joy that I now dedicate these awards to all Ondos, home and abroad.
While we thank God for the attainments so far recorded, there is no denying the fact that we have also faced several challenges, prominent amongst which are youth unemployment and epileptic power supply, particularly in Ondo Kingdom. These are issues crying for attention and to which we must not turn a blind eye.
I have observed also with dismay the emergence of the land grabbing syndrome (Omo onile) which is fast becoming endemic in Ondo. A committee has been set up and is working with the Osemawe-in-Council to tackle this menace, head on.
It is my resolute desire to make a judicious use of our present in planning for the future of incoming generations. With God on our side, this will surely be achieved. In this regard, a committee will soon be set up to map out what should be the focus of Ondo Kingdom in the next ten years.
Furthermore, the industrialization of Ondo Kingdom remains an issue of paramount importance to us, just as we are committed to the actualization of the Housing Estate Project. Additionally, the Ondo Development Committee is being mobilized to look into the acquisition of the moribund Nigerian Romanian Wood Industry (NIROWI) for the purpose of establishing an Industrial Park in Ondo Kingdom.
Let me conclude by congratulating each and every one of you, my dear people, on the double joy of this glorious day, the joy of the 2016 Ekimogun Day celebration and the joy of the 10th year Anniversary of Osemawe's ascension to the throne. We glorify the Lord God and I thank everyone who has worked assiduously towards the success of this day. Your labour and patriotic zeal, either as individuals or at committee level, are very much appreciated. AIO A GBE DEDE WA O
I affirm and I know you will agree that Ondo Kingdom as personified by the Osemawe will continue to be the arrowhead of sustainable development especially with the active support of all and sundry. My plea therefore is for tolerance, mutual understanding and stronger commitment, jointly and individually, in our aspiration for a better and more glorious future. It is only peace and unity that can guarantee the much desired development. As we all pursue this laudable goal, I wish all Ondos at home and in the Diaspora more blessing, greater prosperity and sound health. I also earnestly enjoin all to continue to remember "our home", knowing fully well that we have no other place other than ONDO to call our own.
Thank you and God bless.
His Royal Majesty,
Oba Dr. Victor Adesimbo Kiladejo, CFR.
BSc. (Hons.); MB.ChB; DRH; FAGP; Hon D.Sc; Hon. LL.D.
The Osemawe and Paramount Ruler of Ondo Kingdom.

There is a city tree in front of my house whose roots have lifted the sidewalk and driveway easement up at least 5 inches off the ground. Kids ride their bikes, motor bikes and hover boards over it like a ramp. I'm afraid someone's going to get hurt if the tree is not removed so the sidewalk can be repaired. I have lived here for 31 years, and complained to the previous adminstration but was ignored.Hopefully the issue can be addressed this time. Thank you

Part 4 of a 4 part series. View series intro and index.
John Calvin believed in a God that blesses us so that we might rejoice. God does this because he is a loving, joyful, happy Shepherd of his people. Calvin puts it like this:
We ought to bear in mind, that our happiness consists in this, that his hand is stretched forth to govern us, that we live under his shadow, and that his providence keeps watch and ward over our welfare. Although, therefore, we have abundance of all temporal good things, yet let us be assured that we cannot be truly happy unless God vouchsafe to reckon us among the number of his flock. Besides, we then only attribute to God the office of a Shepherd with due and rightful honor, when we are persuaded that his providence alone is sufficient to supply all our necessities. As those who enjoy the greatest abundance of outward good things are empty and famished if God is not their shepherd; so it is beyond all doubt that those whom he has taken under his charge shall not want a full abundance of all good things.
This shows us that Calvin did not believe in a stale, dark, theoretical Christianity where God is unhappy, vengeful, and impersonal. Quite the opposite actually. God is a good Father, Calvin taught. Commenting on Ephesians 3:21, he says, "However many blessings we expect from God, His infinite liberality will always exceed all our wishes and our thoughts."
All of creation, Calvin said, was made by God to cause happiness: "There is not one little blade of grass, there is no color in this world that is not intended to make men rejoice." Furthermore, Calvin taught that prayer is a divine avenue to our happiness. He encouraged his people by saying, "Joy and thanksgiving expressed in prayer and praise according to the Word of God are the heart of the Church's worship."
Did you catch that? Joy and thanksgiving are the heart of the Church's worship. Calvin's belief in God was anything but boring, lifeless, and cerebral. It was heavily theological — make no mistake. But at his core, John Calvin was a pastor, not an academic theologian. He was a shepherd of a local flock, and he was intensely practical. His desire was to show people the God of the Bible, not conjured up deity. His passion was to make plain that this God transforms daily life and causes worship to move from meaningless existence into everlasting joy in the greatest Being in the universe.

Found this in the bargin basket at Jewel for $.50 - it looked interesting and a bargin at 50 cents so I got it. Only reason i can figure is that it had a small dent at he bottom corner of the can. Also maybe it was simply older than the rest of the cans they had on the shelf (by 30 days or so).
Anyway - the coffee tastes ok, about as good as any starbucks coffee i have ever had or any gas station latte. Regular price off the shelf $3.49 so again about as much as it would cost at starbucks. Cheaper in bulk I would imagine as they do sell it on their webiste (albiet some generic variety). Heated to full temperature in about 8 minutes (top end of stated range) but was totally drinkable immediately upon opening.
The container is made by Ontech. Apparently they have a shit load of $$ and time spent in this thing. It really seams like a simple device. Some quicklime and some water are all that make the heating reaction, i guess it took them time to design just the right shape container, amount of chemical, manufacturing technique, etc... The technology itself is not really new, but Ontech's design is the true marketable feature. Totally self contained self heating beverage that doesn't need refrigeration. I think if the price comes down a little, or they do a little better job of marketing, this device will really take off.
A nice review and disection of the thing here

Usain Lightning Bolt
It only took 9.69 seconds for the world to find its voice again. Like Lightning, Usain Bolt struck and unsettled China's Bird's Nest, defying history's boundaries and shattering international, regional and national records, and giving Jamaica another reason to smile.
Words cannot describe the euphoria emanating from Beijing, China, since Usain 'Lightning' Bolt secured his place in history- at a delicate 21- as the first Jamaican to win the Olympic 100m gold, and the world's fastest man. Caribbean sunshine flooded China's Bird's Nest when Trinidad's Tyrone Thompson stood his own ground and took silver in the event, with Jamaica's Asafa Powell and Michael Frater copping fifth and sixth places respectively, and Churandy Martina, from the Netherland Antilles, coming a close fourth. The dense smog must have lifted by at least a couple of inches, allowing a little bit of Caribbean light, laughter and even tears into the eyes and hearts of the spectators who witnessed this phenomenal, unmatchable moment in time.
In just under 10 short seconds, an unprecedented 6 Caribbean men participated in an Olympic 100m final. Carnival could never rival the effects of all 6 Caribbean nations caught up in celebration at once. Pot covers came out, whistles were exhausted, voices grew hoarse from strained overuse. The region climaxed in the ecstasy of its grandest accomplishment yet – proving that the Caribbean is indeed the world's sprint capital, and that Jamaicans are a 'little but tallawah' people.

Great post, congrats Mr. Bolt! It's just a shame that Asafa didn't even medal, confirming his reputation as "big meet" choker. So while we celebrate the rise of Mr. Bolt we may also be saying farewell to Mr. Powell.

(Adds Vestager quotes)
PARIS, Oct 3 (Reuters) - European Commissioner Margrethe Vestager, a former leader of a political party now in opposition in her native Denmark, said on Wednesday that her country's government did not support naming her for another mandate at the European Union's executive body.
Vestager, 50, has a high profile in Brussels after attacking tax dodging allegations and monopoly powers among U.S. multinationals including Google and Apple as the EU competition commissioner.
She is perceived by some as a potential successor to Jean-Claude Juncker as president of the European Commission.
"My native member state doesn't seem too enthusiastic about giving me another mandate," Vestager said at a news conference in Paris. "And that would be an understatement."
Vestager is a former leader of the Danish Social Liberal Party, which opposes the country's ruling conservatives.
"The tradition in my country is that it is the biggest party in government that names the commissioner," Vestager told reporters. "Since my party is not in the government, at least you would have to break the tradition."
The European Commission, the EU's executive, is make up of one commissioner from each member state. (Reporting by Mathieu Rosemain Editing by Brian Love and Peter Graff)

City-based law firm, Silver Shemmings Ash (www.silverllp.com), is one of the latest firms to go live with the cloud-based document and email management system, NetDocuments.
In a move driven by the firms' values, the implementation of NetDocuments is enabling the team at Silver Shemmings Ash to focus even further on what it does and how it does it. NetDocuments is helping the firm be even more collaborative internally and externally and to continue to provide excellent client service from every member of staff.
After a close review of the marketplace, the firm realised, given its growth strategy in terms of clients, lawyers and support staff, that scalability with and reliability in its document and email management system were vital and that a cloud-based document management system would be used. An additional benefit is that the old managed document storage servers could be decommissioned thus saving cost.
Further to a demonstration and contract review directly with NetDocuments, the firm was introduced to Hoffbrand Consulting (www.hoffbrand.consulting) as the recommended partner to implement the service for the firm. Using its now tried and tested implementation processes, Hoffbrand Consulting set up the service according to Silver Shemmings Ash's own requirements and carried out user training all within the set budget.
The firm has been happily using the service since mid-April 2017.
David Hall, the Practice Manager at Silver Shemmings Ash noted that while he came into the project after it started, the help provided by Paul Hoffbrand together with a study of some of the articles available through the NetDocuments support website, enabled him to pick the system up quickly.
David went on to comment – "working with Hoffbrand Consulting was great with Paul being highly knowledgeable about NetDocuments. He brought with him a level of very useful experience with other law firms and is always responsive - he interacted well with our users in the training and the deskside support thereafter."
Paul Hoffbrand said – "I am continually grateful to NetDocuments for the introductions to its prospects and customers and specifically for the introduction to Silver Shemmings Ash. Working with Alex von der Heyde initially then with David Hall and his team has proved that our methodology, which allows us to deliver the NetDocuments experience at a reasonable price, works."

African farmers are finding new ways to cope with droughts, erosion and other ravages of climate change, but need to develop even more techniques to thrive in an increasingly uncertain environment, scientists of the World Agroforestry Centre (WOC) in Nairobi announced last week.
According to Reuters, smallholders have started to plant more drought-resistant and faster-growing crops to keep the harvests coming in, according to a survey of 700 households in Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda and Tanzania.
Patti Kristjanson, who heads a programme on climate change, agriculture and food security at WOC, said the good news is that a lot of farmers are making changes [to adapt to changing times], so it's not all doom and gloom ... but much more needs to be done," she told Reuters.
Farmers, backed by researchers and international donors, needed to find better ways to store rain water, increase the use of manure and bring in hardier crops like sweet potatoes, according to Kristjanson.
According to findings in the journal Food Security, 55% of households surveyed in the past decade, said they had taken up faster-growing crop varieties, mainly of maize, and 56% had adopted at least one drought-tolerant variety,
Fighting erosion
According to Reuters, 50% of the households were planting trees on their farms – helping to combat erosion, increase water and soil quality and bring in new crops like nuts. "Half of the farmers had introduced inter-cropping – planting alternate rows of, for instance of beans and maize, in the same field and then swapping the rows next season. Beans fix nitrogen in the soil, helping reduce the need for fertilisers."
But the recent study found just a quarter of farmers were using manure or compost – avoiding the use of more expensive fertilisers. And only 10% were storing water, it added. The study said that global warming, leading to erosion, less reliable rainfall and changes in the length of growing seasons, was adding to other stresses for farmers worldwide such as price spikes and a rising population.
Kristjanson said the study showed encouraging signs of many farmers' willingness to adapt. But faster change may be needed because Africa is especially vulnerable to climate change, according to the UN panel of climate scientists which blames heat-trapping emissions of greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels.
In Africa, up to 220 million people could be exposed to greater stress on water supplies by 2020 and yields from rain-fed agriculture in some countries could be cut by up to 50% by 2020, according to a 2007 UN report.

Fall 2019 MenswearFashion East
How about blatant glamour as a phrase to get the pulse racing? Is this not what we're all after, in one way or another? Stefan Cooke and his partner, Jake Burt, didn't exaggerate when they dropped those words into the description of their collection—it was one of those occasions when mouths gaped open at the skill and originality of a fully formed, completely desirable vision of fashion walking by.
Just take it from the bright white torso-hugging, zipped-up leather shirt that seemed as if it might be a ribbed knit at first, but turned out to be made of vertically slashed strips of leather with delicately serrated edges—and which also seemed to be connected to a white fringed peplum. But then that again was an eye trick, being in fact a wraparound print on the top of a pair of trousers. Whoa to Look 31. And whoa to the rest of what Cooke and Burt did: argyle knits that left peepholes in the lozenge patterns; seamlessly fitted jersey trousers made in that vertically slashed leather; silver chain-mail stoles casually flung over tailoring; ingeniously slashed English dad coats—the lot of it, actually.
But how did they do that? Backstage, Cooke and Burt were bubbling over with irrepressible glee in describing how they came up with the leather technique—the last look, a red coat, was concertina-ed across the musculature of the model's back, to show bare skin in a diamond pattern. "Well, it was finding an old Chelsea boot from a charity shop and looking at its worn-out strips of elastic," Burt began. "And then we got this Lycra and applied the leather on top," said Cooke, "and then we sliced it all through with rotary pinking shears!" Presto! The discovery of a technique that invents incredibly chic male leggings (meggings?) and other garments that stretch to show either a different base color, or skin, as they move.
