Jimmyjane & Yves Béhar + Ethan Imboden.'s
Form 4 Pleasure Object
The latest and last from the groundbreaking POWER TO THE PEOPLE series, a collaboration between pals Yves Béhar and founding creative director of Jimmyjane, Ethan Imboden, the Form 4 strikes the perfect balance of flex and power. The flexible shape reaches all the right spots, and an oversized motor provides 4 vibration modes and 5 power levels. The high-performance Lithium Ion battery runs up to 7-plus hours on a single charge.
Like all Jimmyjane products, Form 4 is made of medical-grade, phthalate-free platinum silicone and stainless steel. So it's totally safe. It's also waterproof so it can go in the pool or bath. A convenient button lock makes it travel-a-go-go. Another standout point about Jimmyjane products? They are the only ones on the market with a three-year limited warranty. Now that's commitment that gives us a charge.
A+R welcomed Yves and Ethan for the global launch of the Form 4 in early April 2011. It was an amazing night of conversation with a packed shop as the creative conspirators talked about happens when design takes on taboo.

Sealed Mindset's Classroom
Designed for effective self-defense training
Unlike traditional programs that immediately throw you onto a live firing range or martial arts dojo, Sealed Mindset knows that adults learn best by starting in a classroom environment.
Our experts understand that in order to retain information effectively, our students need to start with easily digestible lessons in a non-threatening environment.
Building confidence
The most efficient way to build a self-defense student's confidence is to introduce new ideas in the classroom and then put these lessons to the test through repetitions in our practice rooms. Training tools such as SIRT laser pistols allow hundreds of repetitions with the same trigger feel and reset as a standard firearm. Visual feedback helps them become more accurate and diagnose shooting problems. Students can build repetitions for muscle memory at a fraction of the cost of practice on a live range.
We then allow our students to implement their new skills in our live scenario room, so they can feel confident that they will be prepared for situations when seconds count.
Sealed Mindset's classes run for daily 1.5 hour sessions, similar to gyms that offer regular classes which members can attend at-will.
Our facility current holds over 130 monthly classes.
SIZE: 29' 6" W x 28' 8" L
SAFETY: Equipped with a camera to give you instant feedback.
SOMETHING COOL: White Board Paint on Walls.

The May § 7520 rate for use with estate planning techniques such as CRTs, CLTs, QPRTs and GRATs is 1.2%, which is a slight decrease from April's rate of 1.4%. The applicable federal rate ("AFR") for use with a sale to a defective grantor trust, self-canceling installment note ("SCIN") or intra-family loan with a note of a 9-year duration (the mid-term rate, compounded annually) is 1.00%, which is down slightly from the April rate of 1.09%, and still relatively low. Remember that lower rates work best with GRATs, CLATs, sales to defective grantor trusts, private annuities, SCINs and intra-family loans. The combination of a low § 7520 rate and financial and real estate markets which remain undervalued presents a potentially rewarding opportunity to fund GRATs in May with depressed assets you expect to perform better in the relatively near future.
Clients also should continue to consider refinancing existing intra-family loans. The AFRs (based on annual compounding) used in connection with intra-family loans are 0.20% for loans with a term of 3 years or less, 1.00% for loans with a term of 9 years or less and 2.60% for loans with a term of longer than 9 years. Thus, for example, if a 9-year loan is made to a child and the child can invest the funds and obtain a return in excess of 1.00%, the child will be able to keep any returns over 1.00%. These same rates are used in connection with sales to defective grantor trusts.
In five related rulings, the IRS issued favorable holdings addressing the income and gift tax consequences of so-called "DING trusts." The acronym stands for "Delaware Incomplete Non-Grantor" trusts, but the trust does not need to be established in Delaware. In fact, the trusts at issue in the rulings are believed to be Nevada trusts.
DING trusts primarily are used to avoid state income tax by having the trust created in a jurisdiction that will not tax the accumulated earnings of a nongrantor trust. At the same time, the Grantor's initial contribution of property to the trust is not deemed to be a completed gift subject to federal gift tax.
The Grantor had created an irrevocable trust for the benefit of himself and his issue. A corporate trustee was the sole trustee, but that corporate trustee was required to make distributions at the direction of the Grantor and/or a distribution committee composed of the Grantor and each of his four sons. The trust provided that income and principal could be distributed under three alternative methods:
Under the terms of the trust, the Grantor has a testamentary limited power of appointment. If that power of appointment is not exercised, the assets pass to the Grantor's issue.
The IRS gave five important rulings based on these facts:
The IRS privately ruled that the exchange by an irrevocable trust of a second-to-die life insurance policy for a new first-to-die policy would qualify as a like-kind exchange under Internal Revenue Code Section 1035 with no recognition of gain or loss.
A husband and wife established an irrevocable trust that purchased a second-to-die life insurance policy insuring the lives of both of them. Sometime thereafter, the husband died, leaving the wife as the sole insured on the second-to-die policy. At a later date, the second-to-die policy was transferred to a new irrevocable trust created by the wife. The trustee of the new trust subsequently exchanged the second-to-die policy for a new life insurance contract covering only the wife's life.
The IRS ruled that the exchange qualified for like-kind exchange treatment under Internal Revenue Code Section 1035 because the exchange did not involve a change of insured, which would have otherwise disqualified the transaction from nonrecognition treatment. The IRS reasoned that at the time of the exchange the wife remained the sole insured on the second-to-die policy following the death of her husband, and the wife was also the sole insured on the new first-to-die policy. Because both policies related to the same insured, the IRS held that the new trust did not have to recognize any gain or loss on the exchange of the policies. The key takeaway from this ruling is that the eligibility of an exchange for like-kind treatment under Internal Revenue Code Section 1035 is determined on the basis of facts that are available at the time of the exchange.
The IRS exercised its discretion to allow a taxpayer to make a late allocation of GST exemption. Over a six-year period, the taxpayer made transfers to two irrevocable trusts he created for the benefit of his issue. The transfers occurred sometime prior to the enactment of the automatic allocation rules. The taxpayer engaged a law firm to prepare the gift tax returns reporting these transfers. Although the law firm timely filed the gift tax returns, it failed to allocate any GST exemption to the transfers. A second law firm later discovered this omission.
Currently, there are no Treasury Regulations in effect prescribing the circumstances and procedures under which extensions of time will be granted to make an allocation of GST exemption. In the absence of Treasury Regulations, Notice 2001-50 provides that taxpayers seeking an extension must do so under Treasury Regulations Section 301.9100-3, which requires that the taxpayer establish that he or she acted reasonably and in good faith and that granting relief will not prejudice the interests of the government. Under the 9100 criteria, the IRS determined that the taxpayer reasonably relied on a qualified tax professional, and the interests of the government would not be prejudiced.
The IRS and the Treasury issued Proposed Treasury Regulations Section 26.2642-7 about four years ago to subject late GST exemption allocation elections to a more stringent set of criteria, which, among other things, would require affidavits from the taxpayer, the return preparer and any advisors to the underlying transaction describing the events that led to the failure to allocate GST exemption and the events that led to the discovery of the failure. Although the Proposed Treasury Regulations were never finalized, the project has resurfaced in the IRS's recent 2012-2013 Priority Guidance Plans. If these Proposed Treasury Regulations are finalized, they will replace the 9100 relief provisions for late allocations of GST exemption.
The Tax Court determined the taxpayer was not entitled to a charitable contribution deduction for contributions she made to a public charity she created, where she failed to have the charity issue written acknowledgements of the contributions.
The taxpayer co-founded the charity, was responsible for its finances and had access to its checking accounts. During one year, she made several contributions of more than $250 each. The contributions were made by electronic transfer from her personal bank account to the charity's account. The transfers were reflected in both the taxpayer's and the charity's bank statements, but the charity did not provide any written acknowledgment of the contributions to the taxpayer.
The Tax Court denied the charitable contribution deduction for these contributions because the charity failed to provide the taxpayer with a contemporaneous written acknowledgment required by Internal Revenue Code Section 170(f)(8)(A). The written acknowledgment must not only describe the property contributed but also state whether any goods or services were provided in consideration for the donation. The taxpayer argued that it would be meaningless to write herself an acknowledgement and that the bank statements should suffice to substantiate her contributions. The Tax Court disagreed, finding that the statements do not qualify under Internal Revenue Code Section 170(f)(8)(A) because they do not state whether the taxpayer received any goods or services in exchange for her contributions.
This case highlights that taxpayers need to conform fully to the written acknowledgement requirements in order to benefit from the charitable contribution deduction. This is especially important for clients who have private foundations they created or administer who may not already be aware of these requirements.

Toasts, cheers, honors and feasting marked the end of studies March 19 for a group of MBA students at the Stetson Center at Celebration who completed the life-changing goal of earning a Master's Degree in Business Administration.
Members of the cohort picked Penny Miller of Clermont, a human resources partner for Disney, as the Top Student Overall. Gillian Cady, a Disney project manager of Minneola, was chosen to receive the Team Player Award. Classmates chose Chuck Rivas of Apopka, who works in information technology for Disney, as the student with the Best Humor, and Norbert Dean of Windermere received the Cool Under Pressure Award.
"The experience was all that I hoped for and much more," Miller said of her EMBA courses. "I have been applying classroom learning's in my work since my first month in the program." The understanding she gained, she said, helps her "bring a new level of overall business acumen to the table" in her professional role.
These students and other EMBA graduates will receive diplomas at Stetson University commencement ceremonies on May 7.

It seemed inevitable.
LeAnn Rimes and her husband Eddie Cibrian will star in a VH1 reality show, titled "LeAnn & Eddie," unsurprisingly.
"LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian have both been famous in their own right for years, but it wasn't until they were a couple that the tabloids became enamored with their every move. Joining forces with VH1, their new show will bring the truth and make fun of all the gossip," the press release reads.
Of course the tabloids became "enamored with their every move" -- their infidelity broke up two marriages! We love how the press release downplays the fact that LeAnn and Eddie were both married at the time they met -- Eddie to Brandi Glanville, and LeAnn to Dean Sheremet.
Brandi's told her side of the story after becoming a cast member on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." "LeAnn & Eddie" will let the Cibrians tell theirs.
The show is slated to premiere Winter 2013/Spring 2014.

Either way, I think it's still safe to assume that these rules never gained that much importance in the grand scheme of things Treknological.
Though I still like 'em to tame the excesses of some more...enthusiastic Junior Ship Designer Kidz, on your point there can be no doubt.
I agree that there needs to be a set of "fandom ship design rules" but the rules that GR set down are rather impratcial.
I suppose they might seem that way, f only because nearly every significant variation on what was allowed has been done by now. But, of course, if they were "rules" they wouldn't be "fandom."

My First Ever Musky
Type: Freshwater
Region: Central
Location: Above Dam No. 4 - Potomac River
I thought I would share my first ever musky caught...a fight for sure
I started off the night loading my bass stuff into one of the member's boats, it was Thursday night and our bass club Boonsboro Bassmasters was going out on the Potomac above Dam Four for some "practice". At about five o'clock, we headed out and motored far up-river. We stopped at a rock point where I quickly got into some 12 inch keeper smallmouth using a Bomber square A that dives to about 3-4 feet depending on your retrieve. After having some time with no luck, we motored farther up river to a steep drop where two feet from the shoreline, it is 15 feet deep. I pitched my 1/8 oz. Greg Hackney Hack Attack jig with a Yum trailer into some wood cover, and starting dragging it along the bottom. BOOM it is a big fish. I fight it hard and we troll out of the cover into more open water. I continue fighting the fish, then it makes a huge leap out of water Muskellunge. The adult gets the net and after a couple missed attempts, the fish is in the boat! We measured it, a 27 inches musky, and my first ever. We get it back in the water and it swims off. We had no camera to take a photograph, but trust me, I will never forget it. One more thing it was caught on 6 lb test, luckily the fish was hooked outside of the mouth and did not break the line. After that fight, two casts later I land a 17 inch largemouth which won the little competition that our club has each outing.

Fort Bragg
We offer the best in hotels during your getaway to Fort Bragg California. The gem of The Mendocino CA Coast, Surf & Sand lodge offers oceanfront lodging, pet friendly accomodations, fireplaces, private balcony and patios, jacuzzi spa tubs, seaside views, and beachfront pet friendly lodging. And during your visit, you will enjoy discovering the history and scope of this oceanside destination.
The city of Fort Bragg, CA, has been a logging town since the beginning, around 1860. With the recent closing of the Georgia-Pacific Lumber Mill after 125 years in operation, the town is now adjusting to life as a tourist destination. The city was named after an Army outpost called Fort Bragg, named in honor of Colonel Braxton Bragg. This outpost was built during a time of land conflicts between the native Pomo Indians and the incoming settlers. The outpost was abandoned after only a few years, but the name stuck for the town. Fort Bragg built up around the logging industry, aided by the excellent harbor at the mouth of the Noyo River. In addition to logging, a fishing fleet (almost 500 strong) built up over the years. If you'd like to know more about the history of the city, visit the Guest House Museum on Main Street at Laurel Street.
Across the street from the Guest House Museum, you'll find the Mendocino Coast Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center. The Chamber provides up-to-the-minute information about local activities, inns, restaurants, and pretty much everything else.
One of the most entertaining activities is to take a ride on the historic Skunk Train. The Skunk Train has been going back and forth in the redwoods along the Noyo River for over a hundred years. They even have an open-air car that lets you experience things much more closely. The Train depot is at Laurel Street and Main Street.
One of the more unusual things in Fort Bragg is Glass Beach, now a part of MacKerricher State Park. (You can even walk there from Surf & Sand.) This beach consists entirely of tumbled glass from the years when this beach was used as the local dump. The truck would back up to the beach, and dump stuff from the bluffs above. Over the years, the wave action has tumbled the glass until it is all smooth. This is a colorful thing to do on a sunny day!
On the south end of Highway One, you'll find the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens, featuring indigenous plants (including rhododendrons and fuchsia). They even allow leashed dogs, and you can walk all the way out to the ocean to see whales during the annual migration.
The Mendocino Coast is very dog-friendly in general, since so many people that live here have dogs. In Fort Bragg, though, there are 2 new dog parks, thanks to a dedicated group of dog people.

My Email Digests
Dec. was rough, Christmas was tense. We had a huge fight on New Year's Eve, when we both said we were through. I woke up New Year's Day with a good look at my behaviors, and asked him for another chance. It took two days and lots of talk between us, but he had temporarily agreed. Then on Jan. 3rd, I took a nasty fall, breaking my leg which required surgery to fix. Over the last 8 weeks, I have been incapcitated, and I admit I have acted horrific. In pain, on narcotics, and still reeling from the fight, I have been depressed on top of it all.
My pattern of behavior is to lash out at him via email or notes, saying how much I want to be done with the marriage. I know this comes from feeling unwanted, unloved, and wanting to hit first. Unfortunately, I have been very abusive to him during the last 3 months, especially during the end of Jan into Feb.
About 2 weeks ago, he sent me an email saying he was looking for a place to move out to. I have to clarify that we haven't been communicating at all except via email, and I have been sleeping and living in the family room. I really didn't believe him.
A week ago, he sent a similar email. Then, when I asked him if he was certain, he never replied. I then asked for him to be involved when we tell the kids (10 and 13). He never replied. I kept at him, emailing that I would tell them on a certain day and time. Still no response.
I finally came to the day of the "deadline" and he avoided even being on the main floor of our two-story house. I was angry, so I did tell the kids of his decision. That night was the lowest of my life. I confronted him, asking him why. He refused to answer. I asked him to give me back his wedding ring (crazy, I know). He refused. I went downstairs, and contemplated taking 3 bottles of pills to die. I was only pulled back from the brink by my 10 year old asking me if I was ok. I then told my husband to take the pills, because I wasn't sure I wouldn't take them.
Two days later, he emailed me a final note: "I'm done."
I broke down emotionally that night. I realized I had been holding myself away from him, for him to come to me first. I confronted him the next morning, begging, crying and pleading to have him reconsider. He was adamant that his decision was final. I asked him for more time, and we did have a talk that night. He kept repeating his decision was made, and this was it. THIS IS NOT WHAT I WANT!
I have spent the last 3 days in turmoil, crying, talking to family and my Deacon and my therapist. I have implored him to try to put aside the past 8 weeks of our problems, and give me some time to show him I was serious about my intent to change.
I am filled with grief over this. I have been reading Gary Chapman's "Loving Solutions," signed up for Magic of Making Up Course, joined the Marriage Fitness daily emails, and have read many posts online. I know what I need to do change my side of things, but he won't give me another chance.
Am I crazy? Am I asking for too much, for another chance with the man that I love? I have tried expressing my love this week, verbally and with loving actions, but it seems he is checking out. BTW, we are still living together, me downstairs, him up.
Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading my saga.View Thread

Residents say a complete stranger is to thank after alerting a family to a fire in their home.
Colleen Troutman says just before midnight a stranger knocked on her door at 1915 "J" to tell her smoke was coming from a window in her attic.
Troutman, her husband and their three children and several pets safely escaped the home.
Troutman said the man got on his bike and rode away once they had been alerted.
Fire officials believe the cause of the fire might be electrical, but is still investigation.

Iron Deficiency and Hair Loss
Treating iron deficiency when you are not anemic is controversial according to researchers of a study titled "The diagnosis and treatment of iron deficiency and its potential relationship to hair loss" published in 2006 in "Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology". But they stated in this study that they believe treating iron deficiency enhances treatment for hair loss. This makes sense, as all the nutrients in your body work in synergy to keep your cells healthy including your hair follicles.
Iron is a mineral in your body, mainly found in hemoglobin, a protein that makes up your red blood cells and carries oxygen to all of the cells in your body. Your doctor can check if you are anemic by checking your hemoglobin. Iron deficiency can cause iron deficiency anemia, in which case your doctor would also check for low ferritin to confirm the anemia is caused by iron deficiency. Although there is no sufficient evidence that iron deficiency independently causes hair loss, if you have hair loss, you may have low ferritin.
Dietary Iron
It is always better to consume nutrients from food sources rather than from supplements. The recommended dietary allowance for iron is eight milligrams a day for men over 18 and 18 milligrams a day for women over 18. For men and women over 50 the recommended dietary allowance is eight milligrams.
Dietary iron is found in two forms, heme iron and non-heme iron. Heme iron is found in the animal sources of iron such as beef, chicken, tuna, and turkey and is easier for your body to absorb. Non-heme iron is plant iron and is found in plant sources of iron such as fortified cereals, beans and lentils, spinach, and bread. Non-heme iron is not as easily absorbed by your body. Vitamin C and meat proteins increase your absorption of this iron. Calcium, tannins such as in tea, phytates such as in whole grains and legumes, and polyphenols found in many plant foods with antioxidant properties, can reduce non-heme iron absorption.

"I'm humbled by city's support," says Bath Half hopeful David Flatman
Posted: January 29, 2014|
David Flatman says he has been overwhelmed by the city's support for his bid to run the Bath Half.
Last week the former Bath Rugby player kicked off training for what he described as his "biggest-ever challenge".
The 34-year-old, now the club's communications director, is taking on the 13.1-mile race to raise funds for The Down's Syndrome Association, the Burned Children's Club and Help for Heroes.
He told the Chronicle he would only take part if he raised at least £3,000 and is already halfway to that target.

"I'm flat out for the Bath Half but the fat's staying still," says Bath Rugby's David Flatman
David Flatman to start the Bath Half on Sunday... but will he finish?
"No game ever made me this sore," says Bath Rugby's David Flatman after Bath Half
Flatman said: "I'm humbled and delighted by the amount we've raised so far.
"I said I wanted £3,000 because I thought we'd never get there but people have been incredibly generous and we've already got the best part of £1,500.
He added: "I've actually got a cottage booked in the Cotswolds for a weekend away when the race is on but it looks like I'll have to be back in Bath instead."
Flatman has called on Bath's current crop of players to match the public's generosity as not a single squad member has sponsored him yet.
"Rugby players are a tight-fisted bunch," said Flatman.
"They probably earn more than average but their careers are very short. They have to think ahead and don't like to waste it. It's because they don't think I've got a chance of doing it.
"The professional sportsman streak in them wants to see me suffer doing some hard yardage before they donate."
With less than five weeks to go before the March 2 race, Flatman is happy with the slow but steady progress he is making in training.
Flatman said: "I did my first 25-minute run on Saturday, going at about five mph. I fell over at the end and was too tired to stand up so just lay there in all the mud.
"I haven't asked anyone from the club to train with me as I wouldn't be able to keep up. If there are any 80-year-olds in Bath that fancy going for a run, feel free to get in touch."

How it Started!
It started when a few churches in central California decided to hold a 10-day prayer event – after the experience of the believers in Acts 2. Each evening between 7 and 8 pm the people met to read the scripture stories of the Holy Spirit's anointing and then prayed. Sometimes they prayed silently, other times in groups of two or three – and sometimes as a congregation! Though done at separate times, each church experienced revival – with animosity laid aside and a true spirit of unity, repentance and mission evident. The thought arose: What if the all the churches in the state – or the world – were to petition God at the same time for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit?

Time November 23, 2009 at 6:17 pm
I am a local church pastor. This is a fantastic idea. And it is scriptural. I would incorporate that idea into my church planner next year for a 10 days prayer program for the church to experience a great revival so as to sense its urgency for mission.

The Race for Governor of Utah: The academic Matheson is thoughtful, deliberate, detail-driven
Scott Matheson Jr. is not your typical glib politician.
He responds to a question about what makes him tick with 45 seconds of uncomfortable silence.
Then, he begins tentatively: "Well, what makes me tick? I guess I'd have to say a lot of different things make me tick, if I understand what tick means."
It is the kind of excruciating deliberateness that has permeated his gubernatorial campaign and his life. One of his favorite sayings is: "The carpenter's rule: measure twice, cut once."
This is one cautious, serious, thoughtful individual. He is also an over-achiever, and he has the rsum to prove it: Rhodes scholar, U.S. attorney for Utah and University of Utah Law School dean. Now, Democratic candidate for governor.
Anyone who knows him agrees - the 51-year-old Utah native has a formidable intellect and an intense focus. But spontaneity doesn't appear to be a big part of the mix.
His determination not to make any missteps, to analyze and dissect issues and his disdain for sound-bite answers has, at times, seemed to inflict a kind of paralysis on his political bid. Campaign supporters and reporters have expressed frustration over Matheson's rigid micromanagement.
But he defends his style as proof that he fully accepts his responsibilities as a candidate; that he owns the campaign, for better or worse.
"Sometimes if you ignore the little things," says Matheson, "they can turn into bigger problems."
He doesn't outright reject the label of micromanager, but calls it an "oversimplification."
"If he has a fault it is that he is extremely deliberative, very careful and is very tight in his management," says U. law professor John Flynn, who has known Matheson for nearly 20 years.
But Flynn says it's a flaw that he wished more elected officials had.
"The best ones I've known are the deliberate ones," he says, naming the late Gov. Scott Matheson Sr. and former Michigan Gov. George Romney, among others.
"To me it's unfortunate that politics doesn't attract the thoughtful - that it only attracts the glib - because that's exactly what we don't need."
Matheson has been good for the law school, recruiting respected faculty from around the country and healthy donations, notes Flynn.
"The best thing that has happened is nothing has blown up," he says. "His attention to detail explains a lot of that."
It isn't a new approach.
When he was the top federal prosecutor for Utah, from 1993 to 1997, Matheson put the office through a tough reorganization. Some of the attorneys and staff "didn't like Scott's attention to detail. They felt he micromanaged them. They felt he didn't respect or trust them," says Dave Schwendiman, an assistant U.S. attorney who was Matheson's chief assistant.
But rather than being tyrannical, Matheson "was insisting on 110 percent effort on anything he did. You have to submit to it and commit to it," says Schwendiman. "You can call it what you want; I call it attention to detail and being responsible . . . getting down in the weeds."
Schwendiman became a close friend. He has taken a several-week leave of absence from the prosecutors' office to volunteer full-time on the gubernatorial campaign.
It is the kind of full-out, long-term commitment Matheson inspires from colleagues, or, as in the case of Q. Michael Croft, former mentors.
Croft, who taught Matheson history in the late 1960s at East High School, now is a volunteer on the campaign.
"He was one of those strange people who loved to do homework. He was just absolutely amazing," Croft says of the teenage Matheson.
"I'm not sure 'serious' is the right word; that comes across as dour and he is not that," says Croft, who retired in 2000 after a 35-year career. He still gets together with Matheson and other former students to whip up his famous from-scratch pizzas.
"He is a person who takes care of details and makes sure things are right, makes sure there are no errors, slipups and mistakes. He is not a frivolous person."
Croft, who Matheson singled out of the crowd at his campaign kickoff announcement as an important role model, takes credit for helping launch his former student's first venture in politics. Croft in 1971 sent an aspiring student-body president to Matheson for campaign help. The student won the election and returned to Croft to say, "Boy, did you recommend the right guy."
Neighbor Steve Hatch has known Matheson since they were adolescents. He recalls one rare occasion when Matheson let his hair down enough to go on a pig-chasing spree in Magna in furtherance of a high-school prank aimed at making fun of the attractiveness of girls from East High School.
"It was an interesting experience running around in the slop trying to catch that pig. The farmer was just roaring," says Hatch. "It wasn't a real sensitive thing, I guess, but that's the way we were in high school."
Or, at least, that's the way most of the group of friends behaved. Matheson was different.
"We liked to goof off, and he liked to study," says Hatch. "When we'd go out at night, whether to eat too much or go out and goof around with friends or girls, I don't recall Scott being involved in that a whole lot. It took him a while to decide that he wanted to go out with girls, mostly because he was real concerned about doing well in school."
Matheson succeeded. A member of the National Honor Society, National Merit finalist and captain of the tennis team, Matheson was accepted at Stanford, where he earned his undergraduate in economics. He then was selected as a Rhodes scholar, earning a master's degree at Oxford, before going onto Yale Law School.
When he was finishing up his law degree, Matheson experienced what he considered a landmark moment in his life. His father, then-Gov. Scott Matheson, called to ask him to return to Utah to run his re-election campaign.
"To me, that was a really important moment in our relationship," he says. "That was an expression of confidence and support that really meant a great deal to me. You know, you grow up and that's the person you look up to, you've depended on and all the rest, and all of a sudden he is saying, 'I need to depend on you.' That had a big impact."
It was actually the second campaign Matheson managed for his father, who had gone from being a railroad attorney to the hand-picked successor of three-term Democratic Gov. Cal Rampton in 1976.
During that first successful campaign, the junior Matheson was in charge of a small number of staffers and a much larger crew of volunteers. Among them was a young woman named Robyn Kuida.
Two years later, after Kuida had gone to work as an assistant for the governor, she married Scott Jr.
"The great part was I knew his parents really well," she says, so she got to skip a grueling "meet the parents" session. In fact, she saw Scott Sr. and Norma reflected in their son and that was one of the attractions.
"It's a mix of them and it's great. He's Norma and he's the Guv," says Robyn. From the Matheson matriarch, he inherited qualities of being "warm and caring and interested in people." From the late father, remembered fondly as one of the state's most popular governors, she says the "love for tackling issues and problems."
Robyn Matheson, who is known as the "campaign mom" around Matheson headquarters, says there is one other thing Scott Jr. inherited: the family sourdough start, said to be 150 years old and used to create sourdough breads and pancakes.
The heirloom was presented to him 24 years ago when he was working as an attorney in Washington, D.C., when his parents had come back for a visit. It had expanded on the trip back to take over the father's briefcase and they had to wipe off some of his papers.
Ever since, the "keeper of the start," as Robyn calls him, has kept it in an earthenware crock in the fridge, where it has to be constantly tended with new flour and water. "It's like a pet," she remarks.
In the end, here's what Matheson says makes him tick: family.
He recalls how he grew up in a home on Salt Lake City's Hubbard Avenue next door to his maternal grandparents. An aunt and uncle lived across the street and the place was crawling with cousins "who were more like brothers and sisters," says Matheson.
"One of the reasons I've wanted to raise my family in Utah is to give my children a similar experience," he says, explaining his decision to give up private practice in 1985 to return to a law school faculty position at the U. of U.
Family time also was a key reason that he opted out of the 1992 race for the open seat of retiring Sen. Jake Garn - the last time he seriously considered running for elected office.
But now the kids are grown.
Twenty-one-year-old Heather is a senior at Boston College and 18-year-old Briggs is a freshman at Stanford. Both spent the summer working on the campaign. But when school started this fall, their father sent them packing back to school.
"I decided if I'm the education governor, I'm not going to interrupt their education" for the campaign, he says.
The other key to his character, he says, is his "lifelong love of learning," including being a teacher.
Even as dean of the law school, he continues to devote a good chunk of time to teaching.
"I think there is a certain magic about walking in a classroom and working with young people. I've done it for years and years and years and the excitement of it really never goes away," he says. "You're trying to help them realize their dreams in life and get them prepared for their own careers and lives that are ahead of them."

Leading English prelate denounces 'discourse of fear' on immigration
Catholic World News - February 19, 2014
Archbishop Vincent Nicholas of Westminster has criticized the "discourse of fear" surrounding immigration, the Press Association reported.
Politicians should "appeal to something more normal and more substantial than fear," the cardinal-designated said at a press conference before departing for Rome. "We really should have a positive appreciation of the contribution that people who come to this country make to our wellbeing and economy. I think the idea that immigrants are a net drain on our economy is false."

UPDATE: Kim's hoodie says Mrs. Humphries! More photos below.
If you're keeping a Kardashian Nuptials vs Royal Wedding scorecard, mark this down as one definite win for Kate Middleton. After waiting all day, the paparazzi have finally gotten a glimpse at Kim Kardashian, and her pre-wedding outfit is about as casual as they come.
And we guess that's OK, considering this will be the last time for the next 12 hours or so that she won't be surrounded by people in black tie attire. As she and her sister Kourtney carried items from the Four Seasons Hotel in Montecito, Calif. to the cars waiting to take them to Eric Schmidt's estate (where the wedding will be held), photographers snapped Kim in a comfortable-looking hoodie and gigantic sunglasses. (Kate left the Goring Hotel in London in a darling dress and jacket.) We hear the wedding dress(es) will definitely make up for it, though.

I absolutely love these lip glosses so much, I want to get them in every colour, Ive got them in three different shades at the moment and they are now my favourite lip glosses. Also a lot of my friends have seen it on me and now they're all asking to borrow them. The staying power is good and better than most other lip glosses that claim to have good staying power. However it doesn't quite last 6 hours. Still, I would repurchase these lip glosses again again, I'm already running out of my first one because I've been wearing it every single day.

The shade All Day Seduction is gorgeous, and it lights up my complexion & is a silky gel like texture, but I can't get past the terrible odor of this gloss. I'm not usually sensitive to smells, but this smells so bad that I can't take wearing it.

These glosses are amazing! I own several shades and my favourite is in "Non-stop Glamour", which is a shimmery nude. These feel super similar to my Chanel glosses which are my favourite high end ones. It's super moisturizing, not too sticky, smells good, amazing colour payoff. Ahh!! I just have so much positive things to say about these. I definitely recommend them!

Ok, I wanted a clear gloss; I just ran out of the other one I was using which wasn't clear anymore because I usually put clear over the top of whatever lipstick I'm wearing. I just wanted to like this one and it's fine as long as you don't smell or taste it. It kind of has a handsoap smell to it and maybe a plastic taste. Not the best but I will try to use it or pawn it off on the daughters.

I must say: I. LOVE. LIP. GLOSS. And who couldn't love Rimmel's Stay Glossy line when they're inexpensive, lasting, easily applicable, and beautiful in colours.
They have made a spot in my daily routine with a large colour selection of nudes, pinks, and even reds/ purples. Non-Stop Glamour is definitely up there for one of my favourites, as it is a beautiful nude that can either be worn alone, or on top of a soft lipstick.
How do I incorporate the lip gloss? Well, I love the Pink Lemonade BabyLips from Maybelline- but it tends to be a tad too bright for my liking. So, I start by applying the Babylips to moisturize and and a pink hue, and then top it off with Rimmel's Stay Glossy for a beautiful finish! My lips are bright, radiant, glowing, and slightly pink! It's beautiful!- and I get so many compliments on a daily basis on what lip gloss I wear!

Wow..I love these glosses. They are not sticky and they last a reasonable amount of time, PLUS they do not bleed into the lines around my lips like that NYC lip gloss I just bought does. They don't last six hours but they last longer than most glosses do.
I have Captivate Me and Stay My Rose. My lips have zero pigmentation (I am very fair skinned) so on my Stay My Rose is almost colorless. It's a good gloss to add over a lipstick. Captivate Me has a little more color but not much. It's a good color for when you are wearing a smoky eye.
I love the quality of these glosses and I love the applicator, it's not flimsy like some cheapo glosses.
I would repurchase these in other colors. Rimmel make some good products, some bad. I don't care for Rimmel mascara and the foundations are way too dark for my fair skin but Rimmel makes excellent lipsticks and lipglosses.

I'm surprised these only got an average rating, trust me when I say these are great.
*The color selection is great! They have everything from mauves, pinks, reds, neutrals and sme clear ones. Glossy, shimmery and mattes as well.( My favorites are 113 Popcorn and 123 Back Row Smooch)
*They have a light lipgloss smell. Not sweet or fruity just smells like lipgloss. It's not a bad smell.
*The packaging is very nice, the cap stays closed and the product doesn't leak or get sticky.
*I got mine for 4 bucks at Target. To me that's a great price compared to a MAC lipgloss that can cost 15 bucks or more. These are just as wonderful and a better price.
*Easy to find! I've seen them at Walmart, Walgreen, Target, CVS, any drugstore should carry a few colors.

So much love on YT over these glosses. They are so inexpensive ($3.99 at Target) so I picked up a few. I got 1. Non Stop Glamour (warm pink beige) 2. Jewel in the Crown (cool red plum) and 3. Candy Floss (cool medium toned bright fuchsia). All three have multi-colored glitter in them. My favorite out of these is Candy Floss. Candy Floss is very pigmented and goes well with my skin tone. My least favorite is Non Stop Glamour which is pretty much glittery male matter on my lips. The scent of these is kind of off putting and old school. I smell a strong scent of old 70's sun block. You know, that real heavy "beachy" smell of coconuts and chemicals. I'm not a fan of it however it does bring back childhood memories at the same time. As for the staying power? Pretty average in my opinion. With talking and drinking, it faded in an hour. But, at least the color fades evenly and it still leaves behind a moisurizing feeling on the lips. I also like that when it fades, it doesn't leave behind a ring of glitter particles around the lips. Overall, I pretty decent gloss for the price but I wouldn't repurchase.

These are my favorite! I have several of these and I wear them over my eos lip balms, since I like the extra moisture. I don't wear lipstick or lipliners, but I can see how these would look very nice on top of them. By themselves, they give a nice transparent color. There is tons of glitter in it and it's very "sparkly", giving it a nice, glossy look. I absolutely love these but I've been wondering how healthy they are, since I've recently been becoming interested in safer makeup, and I can't find any information on the EWG website.

I have this in Always Lovely, which is a sparkly pink frost. It stays put about average for a gloss and isn't too sticky. But the sickly-sweet smell bothers me, and the frost doesn't look good over lipstick. Would not buy again.

My Luggage Rack
Tuesday, November 8, 2011
Moving on to a little before & after project...
I picked up this luggage rack at my local Salvation Army for $2. My husband needed a place to lay his outfit for work and I thought this would work. Long story short, his closet is upstairs and our bedroom/bathroom is downstairs.
I ordered this Greek Key trim and gave the luggage rack a fresh coat of white gloss paint.
Slowly this room is coming together. Adding a white piece to the room keeps the other traditional furniture from being too stodgy.
In case you missed it, be sure to check out the giveaway from Fabulous But Frugal.

Besides the Pantanal, the areas in and around the Parque Nacional Chapada dos Guimarães are the region's most popular attractions. Traveling northeast of Cuiabá, you see the massive sandstone formations from miles away, rising 3,000 feet above the flat cerrado landscape. Since a fatal rock fall in the park in 2008, some attractions and bathing spots have been closed indefinitely, and all visitors must be accompanied by a guide. The Cachoeira Véu de Noiva (Bridal Veil Falls), with a 250-foot freefall, is the most impressive of the falls in the park. You can enjoy lunch at the nearby open-air restaurant. Beyond this point there are hills, caves, more falls, and archaeological sites. The Circuito das Cachoeiras (Waterfalls Circuit) is a set of seven waterfalls 2 mi (3.5 km) from the visitor center.
Walk about 30 minutes beyond the Caverna Aroe Jari to Gruta da Lagoa Azul (Grotto of Blue Lagoon), a crystal-clear lagoon (bathing is prohibited). You can also walk
along the Vale do Rio Claro (River Claro Valley) and swim in the river's transparent waters, or climb the Morro de São Jerônimo (St. Jerome's Hill), one of the highest points of the Chapada. Entrance to the national park is permitted only with a guide, whom you can hire from an agency in town.
Caverna Aroe Jari. If you have time, arrange a guided visit to Caverna Aroe Jari. The cave's name means "home of souls" in the Bororo language. This mile-long sandstone cave (one of Brazil's largest) can only be reached after a 4.8-km (3-mi) hike through the cerrado. MT 251, 40 km from Guimarães, 78295-970. R$25.
Eco Turismo Cultural. This is a popular agency for arranging a tour guide in the park. Av. Cipriano Curvo 655a, 78195-000. 65/3301–1393 or 65/9952–1989. www.chapadadosguimaraes.com.br/ecoturis.htm.

great suggestion regarding invert sugar
either torreblanco or corvitto include a recipe to do it yourself invert
dont have the books on me but im sure someone here does
try me pm tomorrow
question for tan isnt corn syrup more similar to glucose
corn syrup is often suggested as a sub for glucose.
I've never seen it suggested as a sub for invert sugar ala trimoline.
I'll bet nightscotsman has a recipe for invert sugar also.
BTW, everytime those Torreblanca/Corvitto books are mentioned I get shaky and try to figure out how I could possibly snaggle 400 dollars worth of books into my place.
Not to mention that 'Grand Livre' desserts book that throws another 225 on there...
