Obama a Christian – Does it matter to you?
The White House issued a statement today stating that President Barack Obama is a Christian who prays every day. How important is it to you that the president of the United States is a Christian?
The White House statement comes in the wake of the president saying that Muslims have the RIGHT to build a mosque near Ground Zero. BUT the other thing he said was that he would NOT take a position on if it SHOULD be built. A big, big difference.
This is America and don't forget religious freedom is guaranteed in our Bill of Rights. The very first amendment. Just stating a fact.

Hot Chelle Rae - The Tangerine Tour POSTPONED
Marathon Music Works
Fri, Mar 27 8:00 pm
DUE TO UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES, THE HOT CHELLE RAE SHOW ON MARCH 27TH HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. ALL TICKETS WILL BE VALID FOR THE RESCHEDULED DATE. FOR REFUND REQUESTS, PLEASE CONTACT firstname.lastname@example.com. Hot Chelle Rae took shape in 2005, balancing the polished sounds of mainstream pop with energized, guitar-heavy dance-rock. Vocalist Ryan Keith Follesé, guitarist Nash Overstreet, drummer Jamie Follesé, and bassist Ian Keaggy had all grown up in musical households; the former three were raised by A-list Nashville songwriters, while Keaggy's father was a Grammy-nominated guitarist. As a result, the band wasted little time carving out a commercial sound, resulting in a label offer from Jive Records in 2008. Recording quickly commenced on a debut album, with both Butch Walker and Eric Valentine lending their help to the project, and the resulting Lovesick Electric appeared in 2009. The band returned in 2011 with Whatever, which featured a Top Ten hit in "Tonight Tonight."

Consular Legalization
a) Consular Legalization at the Embassies and Consulates
The purpose of consular legalization – to establish and to demonstrate the authenticity of signatures on the documents and acts, as well as their compliance with the laws of the host country. The relevant official of the diplomatic mission or consular post of the Republic of Armenia legalizes documents and acts, which are developed with the participation of the competent authorities of its consular district, or documents and acts deriving from them. As a rule, these documents and acts are legalized by the Foreign Offices of the host country. The competent authorities of the Republic of Armenia shall take such documents for consideration only if they have consular legalization, unless otherwise stipulated by the legislation of the Republic of Armenia or international treaties to which the Republic of Armenia and the host country are parties. Those documents and acts which contradict with the legislation of the Republic of Armenia or their contents may be harmful to the interests of the Republic of Armenia, or contain information discrediting the honor and dignity of citizens of the Republic of Armenia are not subject to legalization.
b) Consular Legalization at the Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Armenia
Reception of citizens for consular legalization of documents by the Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is organized on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 10.00 to 12.00 in the reception hall of the administrative building of RA MFA at the Vazgen Sargsyan 3 street. . Consular Department legalizes the following documents:
- Final documents issued by educational institutions of the Republic of Armenia (Diplomas) and extracts from them. If the country where the document is intended to be used is a party to the Hague Convention on Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents of 5 October 1961 (APOSTILLE Convention), then the documents shall be certified with APOSTILLE (list of participating countries).
- Documents certified by a notary, if the country where they are intended to be used has not acceded to the said Convention.
- Documents issued or legalized by the foreign diplomatic missions and consulates accredited to the Republic of Armenia, if they (documents) are intended for use in the territory of Armenia.
- For the legalization of the documents or their certification with APOSTILLE at the Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Armenia there is set a state fee in the amount of 5000 AMD. The amount is paid in any banking institution of Armenia at account No 900005163515.
- This service is provided within 2 working days. Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, if necessary, checks the authenticity of the document, can make a request to the document issuing authority. In this case the term of legalization will be extended until the confirmation of authenticity is received.

There are times when I feel the emotional burden of the evil in the world. These are usually times that overwhelm me, and it is usually triggered by a specific instance of evil and pain that leaves me particularly disturbed. It may be the abuse of a child or some other innocent victim who is destroyed by the evils of mankind.
It is at this point that I sometimes begin to consider all the evil in the world. I consider the fact that these instances of evil happen quite literally every day. Evil men oppresses and abuse the innocent.
Again I looked and saw all the oppression that was taking place under the sun: I saw the tears of the oppressed- and they have no comforter; power was on the side of their oppressors- and they have no comforter.
- Ecclesiastes 4:1
Qohelet (the writer of Ecclesiastes) understood this fact and wrote about it several thousands of years ago. This simply shows us that such abuses have been taking place for ages on end, with no end in sight.
There are times when all of the pain and suffering weighs heavy upon my soul.
These reflections of mine do not happen all that often because, frankly, I don't think that I could handle it if it did. But it is at this point that I sometimes start to think about God: How does God deal with his knowledge of all the evil and pain and abuses in the world?
I wonder how God emotionally deals with pain. This, of course, begs the question about whether or not the word emotional is even an adequate term to ascribe God. Is God an emotional God?
There are instances in Scripture where God seems to display God's emotions. One that particularly stands out to me is Genesis 6:5-8
The LORD saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time. The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain. So the LORD said, "I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth-men and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air-for I am grieved that I have made them." But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD. (NIV)
Is God experiencing an emotion here? The passage states that God was grieved, and even more so that "his heart was filled with pain." What does this mean? Does it mean that God had the same type of emotional experience that I've been describing?
The question of whether or not God has emotions is an intriguing one. It is a mystery, of course, exactly what God feels, and whether or not those feelings are the same kinds of feelings that you and I experience. But perhaps we can be content with a little mystery and simply call them "God-feelings."
I doubt that God has the same type of emotional experiences that I have because, afer all, he is God. But on the other hand, God may actually experience emotions on a deeper and more intense level. If God has more power than anyone else and if God knows more than anyone else, is it possible that God feels more than anyone else? I don't know the answer to that. So, for me, I'll be content to speak of God-feelings. And maybe someday I'll get a chance to ask God how he's feeling. Maybe I'll ask the Son if he remembers some of his feelings while he walked the earth...speculations and questions...
Now the question of God-feelings raises another issue: Is God actually affected by his creation? Traditionally the doctrine of Impassibility has answered with a resounding, "No"! But a word of clarification is needed here.
The doctrine of Impassibility does not, necessarily, mean that God does not somehow experience emotions. Rather, Impassibility asserts that God's experiences are not "involuntary surprises."
Consider J.I. Packer:
[Impassibility is] not impassivity, unconcern, and impersonal detachment in face of the creation; not insensitivity and indifference to the distresses of a fallen world; not inability or unwillingness to empathize with human pain and grief; but simply that God's experiences do not come upon him as ours come upon us, for his are foreknown, willed and chosen by himself, and are not involuntary surprises forced on him from outside, apart from his own decision, in the way that ours regularly are.
(From "God without mood swings" at: http://www.spurgeon.org/~phil/articles/impassib.htm)
Another quote by Philip Johnson goes right to the point:
God is the sovereign initiator and instigator of all His own affections-which are never uncontrolled or arbitrary. He cannot be made to emote against His will, but is always the source and author of all His affective dispositions.
(From "God without mood swings" at http://www.spurgeon.org/~phil/articles/impassib.htm)
So, in other words, God is not at the whim of us. His "mood" or "emotions" do not swing back and forth based upon what we, his little creatures, choose to do or not do.
The point of the doctrine seems to be to preserve the greatness and transcendence of God. God is big. God is great. God is not affected by wee mortals, like us.
However, one problem with the doctrine of Impassibility that we notice right off the bat is that Scripture actually presents God as reacting to his creation. We do not see a God who planned out his experience, but a God whose experience was related to our experience. This is how the narrative of Scripture presents God to us. As such, we ought to take it somewhat seriously.
Now, those who assert Impassibility will simply say that God is not being presented as he truly is, but that this is a presentation of God in human terms, for our benefit. As Calvin said, God "lisps" to us kind of like a nursemaid to a little child. So, according to Calvin and others who assert Impassibility, the Scriptures present God in human terms so that we can get an understanding of who he is, even if what we see in Scripture isn't quite exactly who God is.
This, of course, is a fine response. I don't know that it is entirely true, but neither can I falsify it. After all, how do I know for sure whether God planned out and initiated his emotions, or whether he is going with the flow like the rest of us? It seems to me to simply be beyond me.
But for now I will stick with my quaint little term: God-feelings. God seems to be experiencing something in his Being. We bear his image in some strange way. And when we feel the pain of the abuses and evil in this world we can know that in some way we are mirroring our God.

What happened behind the scenes during the taping of last night's The Bachelor reunion was far more interesting than what happened on it, including a producers' spoiler-filled coaching of Courtney Robertson and Ben Flajnik complaining about having to appear on the show.
The Los Angeles Times reports from behind the scenes, highlighting five things, including Chris Harrison's illness, which required him to break right after bringing Courtney on stage, and he had to lie down and have an IV. Ben told some people backstage, "One more of these [expletive] things and I'm done. I have so many better things to do with my life." And while Chris was backstage, a producer consoled and coached Courtney, talking about her like of American Spirits cigarettes and, when she told him, "I don't know if I can show that emotion again," he told her, "You have to. This is for you. This is for you and Ben."

Chuck and Danny from The Crypto Show stopped by to chat with Josh and myself. The show has been on the air since 2013 and has made an impact beyond just entertainment. They have helped feed the homeless in Austin, assisted with Hurricane Harvey relief, and were on-hand to help those affected by earthquakes in Mexico.
We ask them who their most interesting guests have been over the years and their thoughts on the future of crypto-currency and Facebook coin.
Thank you to our sponsors SaltLending.com, Blocktap.io, & Vaultoro.com!
About the Guests:
Danny Sessoms is a Central Texas entrepreneur that not only accepts bitcoin for services but actively encourages other business's to do so as well. After realizing the joke called the political system was not designed to help anyone, bitcoin was easily realized as an actual form of activism. As cohost and creative director Danny mixes various pro liberty topics with the ideas of decentralized technologies.
Chuck enjoys researching, understanding, and evangelizing the convergence of technology, economics, & philosophy in cryptocurrency & blockchains. He executes these activities as co-host of The Crypto Show (www.thecryptoshow.com), as an advisor to blockchain/software projects, and orchestrating software product implementations with the Equa Start (equastart.io) team.

Trevon James has reported that to the reporter that, notwithstanding, the maker had as of late observed a portion of his accounts for their entertainment regard. To the degree YouTube characters go, James is doubtlessly not the most exceedingly terrible, and his 120,000 supporters on that stage show it. Here he is in January, not a long time before the drapery truly began to close on the BitConnect scheme, talking about it. By then he was at the same time defending BCC and its executives, saying that "in case they expected to deceive" they could have as of late left with everything starting at now. Note this is actually what BitConnect did sometime in the future………… News Source: TheCoinRepublicJump to Discussion Post 0 replies
The importance of digital marketing has increased significantly in the last few years. E-commerce and the web are used more than they have ever been before. Online stores and services have proven true that it is on the web and at our fingertips. The main problem which is encountering for cryptocurrency users is choosing a reliable cryptocurrency wallet. What is BitcoinGenX? BitcoinGenX (BGX) is truly a 2-in-1 innovative cryptocurrency aiming to change the way cryptocurrencies are perceived and how they can be beneficial to the future for financial institutions. BitcoinGenX is POS+ zPoS Hybrid cryptocurrency forked wallet and it also includes customized Zerocoin Protocol. BitcoinGenX aims to provide innovation and positive change to the world by promoting both eco-friendly and privacy solutions in the blockchain industry. For the BtcGenX holder, it will be extremely beneficial to hold BGX as the algorithm is Proof-of-stake/Masternode. That means that the only way to mine/mint BGX coins is by holding and staking coins. Once the coin holder has enough coins for a masternode, they will profit from higher rewards. BitcoinGenX cannot be mined by GPU (Graphics Cards) or CPU (Central Processing Unit) as we believe it would be unfair for user's wealthy in equipment to benefit more than those who don't have such tools available. The BGX reward, directly flows back into the value of BGX coin holders, in proportion with their current stake. This means coin holders make the money. BitcoinGenX is having a fantastic marketing team which will plan a customized beneficial package to the small and large businesses. It will be designed to have to drop down boxes whereby the users can select their target markets, even targeted media platforms, with easy advertising package solutions to meet their goals. BitcoinGenX Management Team The BitcoinGenX management team is committed to expanding the blockchain platform to be at the forefront of changing the world to a more efficient and safe place using these technologies. We monitor the industry and comply with regulations while being transparent with the community at large. With our products being made, we aim to dominate our niche markets by creating easy to adopt, functional products to ensure the industry's success. We are creating a hub (all-in-one) digital marketing platform, whereby large corporations, small businesses, and individuals alike can all bring about big savings and promote their products or services with our easy marketing process. We will also be creating a website that links together our centralized and decentralized exchanges, with offering a choice between the two, as we feel it should be the users choice. All fees are payable with BitcoinGenX coin for both platforms. BitcoinGenX was interviewed by our team prior to this publication. Here are their responses to questions we posed: Question: How and when did you get the idea? BitcoinGenX: When we saw the need for decentralization in digital marketing to help fuel e-commerce, we knew there was a need for an all in one marketing platform to make it easier for companies/projects or people to spread their word. Question: Why do you think investing in Crypto is profitable? BitcoinGenX: Because it is largely unknown and highly volatile. Soon we will see stability in the market but then mass adoption will make sure the value will continue to go up for the strong projects. Question: What makes it stand out from the other ICO's? BitcoinGenX: Our digital marketing platforms that are being built on decentralization, our clients can integrate into their business model and leverage the powerful network effect of the blockchain. This allows companies to build their own unique economic ecosystems and incentivized early community contribution and adoption in an unparalleled fashion. Question: What suggestions would you like to share for others who are looking forward to starting a company? BitcoinGenX: Follow your dreams and passions, no one else is going to have the same as you! Question: How can World readers get involved in what you are doing? BitcoinGenX: If you would like to know more about how you can take part in the community, please check our discord forums and let us get to know you and your skill set. We're open for extending our team with great personalities. Question: What are the next steps in the project? BitcoinGenX: We are working hard on the web wallet development, so it can be released as soon as possible. Also, we are planning to get listed on CoinMarketCap and masternodes.online. CONCLUSION BitcoinGenX (BGX) is creating a hub (all-in-one) digital marketing platform whereby large corporations, small businesses, and people alike can all bring about big savings and promote their products or services with the easy marketing process.

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with p2p lending with bitcoins? I can see there seems to be a bunch of cryptocurrency p2p lending sites. Does anybody have any experience with them? I've already mined some bitcoins and was thinking it might be interesting to capture a yield on them. Alternatively, I was thinking if the p2p bitcoin is crap and it's too risky not to get paid back, to take the other side of the trade: borrow (maybe to buy some more mining equipment) and then default on the loan…Jump to Discussion Post 8 replies

Steampunk World's Fair 2012
The Steampunk World's Fair 2012 was held May 18 - 20 in Piscataway, New Jersey. Take a look at some scenes from this year's event.
From event organizer Jeff Mach, "Steampunk is a genre and artistic movement based around imagination and flights of fancy involving a sort of Victorian science fiction. Its name was given to it by author K.W. Jeter, whose book Infernal Devices was called a 'mad Victorian fantasy.'" Mach said there were more than 4,000 attendees at the festival, which featured musical performances, vaudeville and variety acts, authors, artists, and more. There were also a wide variety of vendors, some of whose wares were purely steampunk, and others that swapped and played with genres.
He noted one thing that made the event particularly unique is that, unlike steampunk events that strongly discourage attendees to dress in non-steampunk attire, the World's Fair invites people to come dressed however they'd like. This led to an impressive number and scope of steampunk and steam-inspired costuming. Mach theorized, "The thing is, when you tell people that they don't have one single set of rules, but can play by lots of rules, then they feel free to take their existing garb and outfits and modify them, which is less daunting and more exciting than trying to be a steampunk `purist'. For example, a Renfaire Pirate who becomes an Airship Pirate is not only going to worry less that she'll feel out of place, but she'll also start her steampunk costume from a pirate costume she may have worked on for years. And if some people show up in jeans, great! As long as people are relaxed, we're happy."

My First U2 Show everThe electronic marquee on top of the spire outside Staples said "Tonight, the Biggest Band in the World: U2", and the boys lived up to the hype. I had been a fan since the 80's, but had become more and more avid around the time 'All That You Can't Leave Behind' came out. I had passed up the chance to see them on the Zoo TV Tour, and a debilitating illness had forced me to give up my ticket to the 'Elevation' tour. Healthy by the time the boys dropped '...Atomic Bomb', I was thrilled to see them. Two high points for me: "Cry / Electric Co.", and "New Year's Day" (long my favorite U2 song – from as far back as high school). Additionally, I became somewhat choked up when Bono introduced "Miracle Drug" by dedicating it to "anyone who, tonight, is very sick", as that had been me a few years earlier. Finally, as an 'Entourage' fan, I was tickled later down the road to find that U2 live footage used on the show had been shot at Staples the night I was there ("Hey! Johnny Drama! Feliz Cumpleanos, Amigo.") Happy Birthday, indeed!

ARDA-WIN to Focus on
People with Disabilities in 2017
By Judy Kenninger
Rarely has an ARDA World session
stirred its audience like the 2016 Lion's Den program, when representatives from tech
start-ups pitched their ideas a la Shark Tank. One of the entrepreneurs
featured, Benedict Jones, was developing a website with property ratings for an
audience he's a part of: travelers with disabilities.
The inspiration for Trekkable.co,
Jones' company, was in the difficulties Jones faced travelling in a wheelchair.
At times, he has had to switch properties because the only accessible room was
already sold to another guest.
Jones' story resonated with Sarah
King, executive vice president, human resources, Wyndham Vacation Ownership. "As leader of the ARDA-WIN Committee's
Diversity and Inclusion Content Group, I saw this as an important constituency
for our group to reach
out to," said King. "After getting the group's buy-in,
we've made this our focus area for 2017."
Jones was the keynote speaker
at ARDA-WIN's Orlando regional meeting (Thursday and Friday, January
26-27, 2017), where the group assisted with a forum on the topic at the
upcoming ARDA World convention in New Orleans.
According to King, opening our
hearts and doors to people with disabilities is not just the right thing to do
from a moral perspective; it's also the right idea for our businesses.
To learn more about Jones and
strategies to help with the inclusion of travelers with disabilities be sure to
check out the January edition of Developments Magazine and join us at this
year's ARDA World to learn more about this topic and much more!

With change comes opportunity. That's
certainly the view of the six industry leaders that we had the chance to talk with
for their perspectives on where vacation ownership is headed in 2017. These
leaders were selected because of their innovation and ability to change with
the times. With each industry titan we discussed successes, challenges and the
overall outlook heading into 2017. Here are some key points from our interviews.
Jon P.
Fredricks, president & CEO, Welk Resorts says consumer desires are
changing more rapidly than ever. Fortunately, the timeshare industry thrives on
change and has been meeting the new needs of consumers through diverse product
David C.
Gilbert, president, Interval International has a positive outlook for the
future, saying that the timeshare industry has seen increases in sales in the
U.S. for the last several years and, with the addition of new resorts being
built, he anticipates that will continue.
Imanaka, managing principal, Imanaka Asato had similar sentiments as
Gilbert, stating the slow and measured recovery of the economy, coupled with a
low interest rate environment, has set the stage for greater demand, which will
drive increased development activity.
Gurnik, president, RCI thinks that the timeshare industry will also grow
internationally because, globally, the feeling that vacationing is essential to
well-being and success is more pervasive than ever. And timeshare is well-positioned
to provide that guaranteed vacation, year after year.
Potrock, senior vice president and general manager, Disney Vacation Club believes
the industry needs to continue to push for a higher standard of customer care
so that the focus stays on the great benefits that vacation ownership provides.
Find out what else these insightful leaders had
to say in our discussion about the upcoming year for the timeshare industry in the
recent January edition of Developments.
From the inauguration of our
new president to welcoming a Republication majority
in the U.S. House and Senate, 2017 is set to be an
extraordinary year—filled with potential of tremendous impact on not only our
nation but also our industry.
We spoke with our federal and state government affairs teams to get
their take on how the recent historical elections may impact the timeshare
industry, as well as any key advocacy efforts they plan to focus on in this new
Let's take a look at some
snippets from what our legislative team had to say about how the timeshare
industry as a whole and some of their new advocacy efforts.
Robert Clements
Last year I set out to build
strong relationships with attorneys general, as well as other regulatory and
enforcement agencies in our key states. This year, I intend to continue those
outreach and relationship building efforts throughout the country. Through
these relationships, I plan to provide these groups with a greater
understanding of the current state of timeshare and the positive and negative
issues that may affect the industry.
With the 2017 legislative
sessions about to start around the country, we'll continue to monitor
legislation and work with our members to advocate for their legislative needs.
Chris Stewart
The 2016 election results
were surprising across the country, when compared to expectations set by the
polls. Beyond the presidential level, many economists and politically-seasoned
forecasters predicted gains by Democrats in several down-ticket races. Clearly,
that didn't happen. However, after the election, the new members of Congress
will help to reduce the concerns regarding new taxes.
Justin Vermuth
While our 2017 goals are
still being finalized, they can fit in two general buckets. The
first bucket looks at breaking down the impediments
that members have while attempting to do business in a timely and efficient
manner. For example, if registration approvals are taking too long in a state,
then we brainstorm on what can be done to get the agency the right tools or
resources to help expedite the process.
The second bucket
concentrates on timeshare owner protection. This includes utilizing our new
staff resources to consult with enforcement officials on implementing some of
the great consumer protection tools we have already passed in Massachusetts,
Florida, Colorado, to name a few. Also, dealing with the termination dates that
are approaching for legacy resorts. And of course, there
are always tax issues to contend with.
Kevin Riley
With regard to ARDA's key
legislative priorities in 2017, there is reason to be fairly optimistic that
the composition of the incoming administration—as well
as Congress—will be more receptive to the issues
plaguing businesses across our nation, including those that affect our industry
and its members.
The ARDA Federal Affairs team
will continue its efforts with the new Congress to support legislation that
will better align this agency with its governmental counterparts and install
much-needed oversight and transparency.
ARDA's outreach to
legislators will continue in 2017, and we are hopeful that this administration
will not hinder our efforts, as we are joined by a broad coalition of
businesses from across the nation
Find out what else our
legislative team had to say about how the recent election will impact our
industry in this month's Developments Magazine.

And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them along the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, that they might travel by day and by night; the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night did not depart from before the people.—Exodus 13:21-22
There are, thanks be to God, times in our lives when we have known the presence of God. There are times when we have experienced clarity about what we are called upon to do or say; times when a command seems embedded in our circumstances, and we are irresistibly drawn to follow that command into decision. There are times when a person comes into our life as a gift of grace, offering us the opportunity to love again. That person may be a child, a relative, a friend, or a stranger, and through that individual we experience a claim on our lives.
And then there are those rare moments when the glass through which we see so darkly is, however briefly, transparent; we are allowed to see deeply into the nature of things, and we are convinced once again that life has meaning and we are not alone. In those moments we have been given the sight to see the orchestration of God's grace which we suspect lies all around us every moment of every day but which we usually do not see.
I call such times as these "the presence of God."
Melanie Morrison was a minister of the United Church of Christ in Bronson, Michigan, when this article appeared.

guinness guy necesitaba un nuevo diseño de otro y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 8 diseños de 2 diseñadores freelance.
This may not be your ordinary design project: I'm building a boat and would like an image that I could use on the bow, sail or stern in a similar manner to the logo on Mad River Canoes. This boat is able to sail in shallow waters so the Plover, often found wading in the shallows, will be its namesake. I'm hoping that you can play with the black ring of his neck and morph it into a eye patch. Maybe even tuck a wing to his chest like Napoleon Bonaparte.
My Pirate Plover should be semi-funny looking but semi-serious. There are some good photos of Ringed Plovers on google and you can also find the famous painting of Napoleon standing with his hand to chest. This is my first project on 99 design so I'm really not sure what else to say or what you might need.
- Item 1...black eye patch
Full length caricature(i.e. head to toe)
I'm not sure if it should be in profile or portrait but it might be interesting if it somehow added an element of forward motion to the boat (not much though as plovers are generally just walking in and around the water on a beach)
- Item 1...It has to be a ringed plover: not other bird will do. Also, I prefer not to have any text in the image since the boat will already have nameboards.

The middle of the country is experiencing May snowfall records in what seems to be a never-ending winter. The Weather Channel's Mike Seidel reports.
A rare May snowstorm that's hit the Plains and Upper Midwest was expected to continue into Friday and even Saturday in places, the National Weather Service said.
However, it added that the "rather unusual weather pattern" was "beginning to abate over the Upper Midwest."
A number of winter storm advisories were in place early Friday for parts of Missouri, Montana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Wyoming, and Oklahoma.
The worst affected areas in the mainland U.S. -- southern Montana and northern Wyoming -- could see 5 to 9 inches of snow from Friday morning to the time it finally stops early Saturday evening.
The weather service said the other areas could see anything from freezing rain and sleet in northwestern Michigan to up to 3 inches of snow in northeastern Oklahoma.
There was also a winter weather notice for Alaska, where Denali National Park and other areas could see up to 10 inches of snow.
The weather service said "widespread showers and thunderstorms" were expected to develop over the Deep South and into Florida through the end of the week.
"Rainfall amounts of several inches are possible where heavy rain persists the longest," it said.
On Thursday, weather.com reported that the storm had "dumped up to 13 inches of snow in Owatonna, Minn.," while up to 14 inches of snow was measured in Ellsworth, Wis. Up to nine inches fell in Dodge County, Minn., on Thursday.
In some parts of the country, spring still feels far away. The snowfall in the Rockies, Plains and Dakotas is setting records and may not end until Friday. NBC's Brian Williams reports
"This is a record for me," Brian Wagstrom, director of public works in Minnetonka, Minn., told NBC station KARE. "This is the latest that we have ever put plows on this time of the year."
Jim Eulberg, director of public works in the South Dakota town of Worthington, had to tell his crews to give up spring street sweeping and ready the plows.
"When you're looking at the calendar, you're thinking this is the stuff we should be doing. Not dealing with ice storm damage and plowing," Eulberg told NBC station KDLT.
NBC News' Matthew DeLuca contributed to this report.

Hey all,
Check out Areetsa's Experiment 521KD:
IMO this is a sublime little MOC. The undead warrior himself is great, and the contrast with the flower is perfect. The landscaping details like those bushes and the path are really well done. And if you look through Areetsa's other MOCs, you'll see that he really doesn't do much castle - much more of a sci-fi builder (his undead warrior is based on a prior MOC of a futuristic hardsuit).

The financial stocks that fueled Wall Street last week ran dry on Monday.
Bank shares dragged the market lower as traders worried that stocks, and particularly the hard-hit financials, had risen too quickly since the stock market's rally began two months ago.
Some of last week's relief over the reassuring marks most banks earned during government "stress tests" evaporated Monday as investors looked ahead.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Four of the banks that Washington determined were sound enough to survive a worsening in the economy said Monday they planned to issue shares to help repay loans the government doled out last fall to lubricate the nation's stalled financial system.
While it's a welcome sign that banks can again turn to Wall Street to raise money by selling stock, the reality of extra shares pouring into the market weighed on financial stocks. Technology shares fared better after Microsoft Corp. moved ahead with its first-ever debt offering.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 156 points. The KBW Bank Index, which tracks 24 of the nation's largest banks, slid 7.1 percent after jumping 12.1 percent Friday.
U.S. Bancorp, Capital One Financial Corp. and BB&T Corp. said they hoped to raise $1.5 billion to $2.5 billion through stock sales. Bank of New York Mellon Corp. said it would offer $1 billion in stock.
Scott Fullman, director of derivatives investment strategy for WJB Capital Group in New York, noted that the Dow has risen about 30 percent since March — about twice as much as the market might do in a full year of strong gains.
"To take a break here is healthy," he said.
The sell-off wasn't across the board and trading was light compared with last week. That suggests many buyers were taking a break, and not that sellers were out in force.
Two stocks fell for every one that rose on the New York Stock Exchange as analysts said the market was overdue for a break. Last week alone, Wells Fargo & Co. jumped 43.7 percent and JPMorgan Chase & Co. rose 19.9 percent.
The Dow fell 155.88, or 1.8 percent, to 8,418.77. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 19.99, or 2.2 percent, to 909.24, while the Nasdaq composite index fell 7.76, or 0.5 percent, to 1,731.24.
Wall Street will continue to keep watch over banks but also will be looking for insights into the health of consumers as traders search for the next catalyst that could continue to pull the market from the 12-year lows of early March.
First-quarter earnings figures are expected this week from Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Macy's Inc. and other retailers and the government reports retail sales for April.
Consumer spending accounts for more than two-thirds of U.S. economic activity so investors will be eager for forecasts from retailers to help determine whether the economy is stabilizing as investors have been betting the past two months.
Last week, with the help of financials, the Dow gained 4.4 percent. The S&P 500 index rose 5.9 percent and the Nasdaq gained 1.2 percent.
Even with Monday's slide, the S&P 500 index is up 34.4 percent from early March. however, it is still down 42 percent from its high in October 2007.
U.S. Bancorp fell $2.04, or 9.9 percent, to $18.50, while Capital One fell $4.24, or 13.5 percent, to $27.10. BB&T fell $1.99, or 7.6 percent, to $24.34.
KeyCorp, which is one of the 10 big banks the government said has to raise more capital to protect against possible loan losses, also said it would offer up to $750 million of its shares. Key fell 69 cents, or 9.9 percent, to $6.28.
Microsoft didn't say how much it hopes to raise in its offering, but in September the company's board said the company could take on as much as $6 billion in debt. The software maker, which has more than $25 billion in cash, said it plans to use the money for working capital. The stock slipped 10 cents to $19.32.
"When Microsoft comes in and does a deal I think it's a vote of confidence in technology," said Nick Kalivas, vice president of financial research at MF Global in Chicago. He noted that the money it raises could allow Microsoft to go on a shopping spree to acquire attractive technology companies.
Dish Network jumped $2.61, or 17 percent, to $17.92 after the company said its first-quarter profit rose 21 percent as revenue climbed partly on equipment sales.
Energy stocks fell as light, sweet crude slipped 13 cents to $58.50 per barrel. Chevron Texaco fell $2.38, or 3.4 percent, to $68, while Occidental Petroleum Corp. fell $2.44, or 3.7 percent, to $62.88.
Some analysts say the rally is doomed to collapse because investors are becoming too quick to declare that the economy's problems are receding.
Christian Bendixen, director of technical research at Bay Crest Partners LLC in New York, said the economy remains troubled beyond what many analysts concede and that he expects the market will tumble again and perhaps breach the lowest levels of early March.
"It's time to be a little more defensive," he said, pointing to areas like consumer staples, health care and energy stocks.
Bond prices mostly rose. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note fell to 3.17 percent from 3.29 percent late Friday.
The dollar was mixed against other major currencies, while gold prices fell.
Volume on the NYSE came to 1.5 billion shares.
Overseas, Britain's FTSE 100 fell 0.6 percent, Germany's DAX index lost 1 percent, and France's CAC-40 slid 1.9 percent. Japan's Nikkei stock average rose 0.2 percent.

13 Library of Congress Sound Recordings
The National Recording Preservation Board, part of the Library of Congress, has released their 2008 list of recordings added to the LOC collection to maintain and preserve sound recordings and collections of sound recordings that are culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant, and for other purposes.
The entire list of the 2008 Registry can be seen at this link, but I'm presenting my favorite 13 of the 25 below.
If you don't have Real Player you might want to download it to hear the clips. My mind is already turning over how these clips could be used to teach certain aspects of 20th Century history.
1."At Last!," Etta James (1961) ….Etta James' recording of "At Last" is widely acknowledged as a "crossover" masterpiece…Her sultry, blues-inflected approach to "At Last" -- set in a brilliant strings and rhythm section arrangement by Riley Hampton -- transcends genre, like all great crossover interpretations.
2."Rank Stranger," Stanley Brothers (1960) ….The Stanley Brothers, one of the premier bands of the formative days of bluegrass, included sacred songs as a featured part of their performances. Their recording of "Rank Stranger," written by famed gospel songwriter Albert E. Brumley Sr. and sung with reverence and simplicity in the traditional mountain style, shows why the Stanley Brothers continue to influence performers today.
3."2000 Years with Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks," Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks (1961) ….The secret to living 2000 years? "Never touch fried foods!" In their party routine first performed for friends, Mel Brooks played a 2000-year-old man, while Carl Reiner, as the straight man, interviewed him. After much convincing, the two writers for Sid Caesar's "Your Show of Shows," recorded their ad-libbed dialogue for a 1961 album.
4."The Who Sings My Generation," The Who (1966) ….On their first album, The Who, assisted by The Kinks' producer Shel Talmy, laid down a set of tracks that would include both enduring classics and mainstays of their later concert performances. Pete Townshend penned the rebellious title track, "My Generation," which features John Entwistle playing one of the earliest bass leads in rock.
5."No News, or What Killed the Dog," Nat M. Wills (1908) …This recording captured a gifted monologist at his best and became one of the most popular performances on early records. The "No News" monologue, with roots in oral tradition, was one of vaudeville's most famous and often-copied routines
6.NBC Radio coverage of Marian Anderson's recital at the Lincoln Memorial (April 9, 1939) ….By 1939, Marian Anderson had been hailed as the greatest contralto of her generation, yet she was refused the use of Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C. because she was an African-American. The ensuing controversy climaxed with her historic recital on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on Easter Sunday, 1939. There she sang to an audience of over 75,000 people, with a national radio audience of millions more. Though brief newsreel excerpts of her brilliant performance have become familiar and even iconic since that time, the contemporary impact of this live, continuous radio coverage cannot be underestimated, and it is now our most complete documentation of this key event in the struggle for civil rights.
7."A Child's Christmas in Wales," Dylan Thomas (1952) …Part nostalgic childhood remembrance and part poetic incantation, "A Child's Christmas in Wales" was issued with five of Dylan Thomas' poems on Caedmon Records' first release. According to the label's co-founder Barbara Holdridge, Thomas arrived in the studio with insufficient material to fill an entire LP, but he remembered writing a Christmas story for Harper's Bazaar. Holdridge and her business partner, Marianne Roney, were able to identify the piece as "A Child's Christmas in Wales" and obtained a copy from the magazine. It became one of Caedmon's most successful releases and has been credited with launching the audiobook industry in the United States. "We had no idea of the power and beauty of this voice," Holdridge said of Thomas' reading, "We just expected a poet with a poet's voice, but this was a full orchestral voice."
8. "West Side Story," original-cast recording (1957) …While there are over 40 recordings of the score to the Broadway show "West Side Story" in various languages and styles, the original-cast recording is in many ways unequaled. The orchestra was increased to 37 for the recording, but the performances of this rich score are visceral and passionate. Bernstein's music—with its Latin, jazz, rock and classical influences—was arguably the most demanding score heard on Broadway up to that point.
9. "Rumble," Link Wray (1958) ….Asked for a tune that kids could dance "The Stroll" to, Link Wray came up with this powerfully menacing guitar instrumental on the spot, and the crowd went wild, demanding encores. When he couldn't recreate the distorted sound of his live version in a studio, Wray poked holes in his amp speakers, cranked up the tremolo, and was then able to capture what he wanted in three takes -- for a cost of $57.
10. "He Stopped Loving Her Today," George Jones (1980) ….George Jones has said that he initially thought "He Stopped Loving Her Today" was too sad to be very popular, but, at one of the lowest points of his career and personal life, he made it one of country music's defining and most enduring songs.
11. "Tom Dooley," The Kingston Trio (1958) ….The Kingston Trio recorded their version of "Tom Dooley" on their debut album for Capitol Records in early 1958. The song was already part of their regular set list and was also in the repertoire of other folk revivalists such as the Tarriers and the Gateway Trio. In spite of Dave Guard's distinctive and dramatic opening narration, the song attracted little attention on its own until a Salt Lake City radio station began playing it heavily, prompting Capitol Records to place an 1866 murder ballad on a 45rpm record for the teenage market. This sparked a modern-folk revival, the influence of which would be felt throughout American popular music.
12. "Night Life," Mary Lou Williams (1930) …When a record producer asked for an impromptu solo piano performance, 20-year-old Mary Lou Williams created an original three-minute collage of stride, ragtime, blues and pop styles that summarized the art of jazz piano to that time while pointing to the future of that genre and her own career in it. At the time, she was a pianist, composer and arranger for Andy Kirk and his Twelve Clouds of Joy, one of the great jazz bands of the Midwest. She later said that thoughts about the nightlife of Kansas City had driven this composition.
13. "Sinews of Peace" (Iron Curtain) Speech at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, Winston Churchill (March 5, 1946)…. The LOC site did not provide a link to the audio file. Here is one to a YouTube video. Lamenting the deepening shadow of the Soviet Union's occupation of Eastern Europe and fearing Soviet-directed, fifth-column activities in the West, Winston Churchill delivered this opening salvo of the Cold War at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri. The speech heralds an increasingly widespread feeling in the West that a tougher stance was needed toward Russia, a departure following the positive image that the country enjoyed as a wartime ally in World War II. Churchill famously pronounced that "From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the Continent."

We took the kids to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum (didn't make it into the Hall. Not if we wanted to attend the induction ceremony that night) and I was explaining to the kids how music has shaped our times and culture.
They're a bit young for the lesson, but it's a start.

I see a lot of people predicting a blow-out game against the Chiefs.
For one reason everyone thinks were going to drop 50 points on the Chiefs because Haley's "pissed" about getting run out of town prior to the end of his contract.
Others think about the 14 straight home game wins on MNF (that streak will eventually come to an end/ and could in the next 8 hours)
You know, we probably and MOST DEFINITELY should win this game but these games are always trap games.
You have to becareful of Jamaal Charles and there's other threats around like Eric Berry making big plays.
Just saying, everyone thinks we have this game in the bag

Sixth Studio Album for Multi Grammy & Juno Award Winning Canadian Superstar Follows Up Multi-Platinum 'Christmas' CD
Michael Bublé's highly anticipated new studio album "To Be Loved" is scheduled to be released on April 23rd in the US (April l5th internationally), it was announced today by Reprise Records. The first single, "It's A Beautiful Day", co-written by Bublé, is scheduled to be released February 25th. "To Be Loved", Bublé's sixth studio album follows his "Christmas" CD which sold seven million copies internationally and was the number two biggest selling album of 2011 (after Adele).
"To Be Loved" produced by Bob Rock was recorded in Vancouver and Los Angeles and includes a mix of standards as well as four original songs all co-written by Bublé. "After All" one of the four originals was co-written and performed by fellow Canadian Bryan Adams. The new album also includes hits previously recorded by some of Buble's musical heroes including the Bee Gees hit "To Love Somebody", Dean Martin's "Nevertheless (I'm In Love With You"), the Jackson 5 early '70's smash "Who's Loving You", Jackie Wilson's "To Be Loved" and the Elvis Presley classic "Have I Told You Lately". Bublé is joined by actress Reese Witherspoon on the classic Frank and Nancy Sinatra duet "Something Stupid".
"My new record is about love, happiness, fun and yummy things. Getting to work with my friend and longtime collaborator Bob Rock ("Call Me Irresponsible", "Crazy Love" and "Christmas") who produced the entire album was very exciting. We're a good team. I love the songs we selected this time out. It was also terrific working once again with my songwriting partners" commented Bublé.
Later this year, Bublé is scheduled to perform 10 sellout shows at London's 02 Arena beginning June 30th.

Hey yo VIV!
|Costume type:
|Costumes for Women
This homemade costume for women entered our 2012 Halloween Costume Contest.
A word from Amber, the 'Pretty Woman' costume creator:
I got this idea from one of my favorite movies "pretty woman". I found a short white skirt at a thrift store – that I dyed blue and a red coat to top it off. I used an old white tank top I already had cut to the look of vivians shirt. I found 2 rings at joann fabrics that I sewed into the shirt. I had the black high boots already. I also bought a $5.00 wig from the store 5 below and a 2.50 black hat from joanns. all togehter under $25.00 and I won $100.00 prize last year.
