Questions should be directed to Mr. Lightner, Principal (email@example.com).
Note: Qualified high school juniors and/or seniors may be admitted for college-level work as dual enrollment students. Although the dual enrollment program does not mandate specific academic requirements for participation, it is important for the student to understand that college credit hours earned at Truett-McConnell University as a dual enrollment student, are not transferable to a University System of Georgia institution unless the student has achieved a 970 SAT score and earned a 3.0 cumulative GPA in the dual enrollment courses he/she has taken. In addition, each institution may deem the specific academic area to which the credit is assigned. Students admitted to this program receive college credit for all courses successfully completed at Truett-McConnell University. Acceptance of college credit for completing high school graduation requirements is at the discretion of the appropriate local school system.

A quick go-round with the Windows version indicates the "jumping bug" from "Shoot to Shoot" has been fixed. That's a relief to no longer need to resort to other database workarounds to avoid the jumping bug. Thanks to Adobe for pretty quick response.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=81269\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
How do we install this new update, do we overwrite it or uninstall the old version, if so then what happenes to the alreday imported LR database?Any pointer in that direction?[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=81290\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Like James, I installed over previous version 4 and it worked fine. I simply replied "yes" to the "update library" prompt (or something similar.) I had "jumping" occuring when I viewed "shoots" with filter "on" or "off" and now it is stable in that Library viewing mode. So far...so good...[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=81330\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Thanks I will just overwrite the old version.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=81338\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
whats the build # for 4.1?on the splash screen is still says it's beta 4, not 4.1?[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=81379\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
The Build # number is 257134[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=81382\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
mine says 264255 on the spalsh screen?
A word of caution, if Lightroom goes to BETA 5, do a complete reinstall and backup important images first. Since 4.1 was a "mild update" I tried the overwrite as part of my evaluation of this BETA and my experience with beta products. ADOBE forums gave me the confidence that there would be little consequence to doing so.Cheers ;-)___James[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=81340\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

Netflix demonstrates technology to navigate menus by thought
Widely-popular streaming service Netflix's MindFlix hack claims to have the ability to navigate menus by thought. While it may not necessarily be reading a user's thoughts, it appears to work in that way to control the Netflix interface.
The innovative project was the result of work during the company's HackDay. Its developers demonstrated how a piece of head-worn technology can be used to scroll through menus and highlight various shows or programs available within the streaming platform.
In a short video, the developers of the technology highlighted the hack's use of the Muse headband to control Netflix's familiar interface.
In the video, the technology developers explained, "Instead of implanting chips in our brain for Hack Day, we decided to take this brain-reading headband to really put it to the test."
MindFlix appears to require the user to nod up or nod down to move up or down the menu to see a new category in the streaming service's interface, while nodding left or nodding right would move the cursor in the menu to pick a new piece of content to watch.
Consumers will likely not be able to get their hands on the MindFlix, it certainly has a great potential to make crowds of binge watchers really happy as they would rarely ever have to move.

The Pelicans broke the Blazers in Game 3, and are now one win from a stunning sweep
The Western Conference's most surprising series changed venues from Tuesday to Thursday, but the shift from Pacific to Central time didn't alter the basic truths at its heart.
The Portland Trail Blazers can't score when the New Orleans Pelicans sell out to suffocate All-Star point guard Damian Lillard in the pick-and-roll. The Blazers can't stop the Pelicans' pace-and-space offense, or offer anything more than token resistance against the awe-inspiring Anthony Davis.
And the Pelicans, overflowing with confidence after two impressive wins in Portland's gym, just refuse to stop beating the hell out of the Blazers, rendering seedings irrelevant and proving predictions laughable as they stampede their way toward a sweep that would've seemed downright stunning a week ago, but now seems more like just a matter of time.
After about six minutes of level-checking sparring, the Pelicans resumed their unsparing destruction of the West's No. 3 seed, ripping off a rampaging 20-4 run to close the first quarter and never looking back. New Orleans led by double figures for the final 38-plus minutes of game time, by at least 20 for most of the second half, and by 30 when Alvin Gentry finally called off the dogs — with seven minutes still left in the fourth quarter — before the teams' reserves finished off a 119-102 win.
Sixth-seeded New Orleans now holds a commanding 3-0 lead in its best-of-seven opening-round series. The Pelicans can sweep the Blazers out of the postseason — and earn New Orleans' first trip to Round 2 in a decade, back when they were still called the Hornets — in Game 4 at Smoothie King Center on Saturday.
If you want a general idea of how Thursday felt, well, here you go:
R.I.P. City: Pelicans blow out Trailblazers to take 3-0 series lead pic.twitter.com/MnZNvHSAe4
— Michael DeMocker (@MichaelDeMocker) April 20, 2018
In Game 1, Davis dominated Portland. In Game 2, it was Jrue Holiday — something of a forgotten man after years of injuries, but a max-level point guard in his own right who enjoyed a breakout season before embarking on a breakout series — who shined brightest. In Thursday's Game 3, it was Nikola Mirotic's turn to step into the spotlight, so it's a good thing he shaved:
The Pelicans picked up Mirotic from the Chicago Bulls in February, shortly after losing All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins to a season-ending Achilles tear, in hopes that the floor-spacing power forward would add punch to an offense that had sputtered in Cousins' absence, and help a New Orleans team that was fighting for its postseason life stay afloat in the race for a Western Conference playoff berth. While his individual numbers didn't pop off the page after his arrival in the Big Easy, his impact on the team was clear.
With defenders forced to respect his shooting beyond the 3-point arc, Davis, Holiday and Rajon Rondo suddenly had more room to maneuver on the interior. That elevated New Orleans' offense to scary levels when Mirotic shared the floor with the Pels' other top weapons. He also provided a surprisingly stout defensive compliment to Davis, equally capable of muscling up in the post against opposing centers and moving his feet to stay with smaller opponents on the perimeter.
On Thursday, though, Mirotic wasn't just the complimentary facilitator of others' excellence. He torched the Blazers early and often, inside and out, en route to a career-playoff-high 30 points on pristine 12-for-15 shooting, including a 4-for-6 mark from 3-point land, in 30 minutes of work.
The Montenegro-born big man also pulled down eight rebounds, snagged three steals, dished a pair of assists and blocked a shot, continuing to provide high-level contributions all over the floor for a Pelicans team that has absolutely clicked into place since his introduction into the lineup 2 1/2 months ago … and that, for whatever reason, has reached a new level of fearsomeness ever since he took a weed-wacker to his signature beard in the final week of the season.
Nikola Mirotic said his teammates won't allow him in the locker room if his face isn't clean shaven.
— Kristian Winfield (@Krisplashed) April 20, 2018
While Mirotic led the way, Davis once again did a lot of everything. The All-NBA game-breaker busted up every defender Terry Stotts could throw at him, and continued his menacing work looming behind the initial defenders on every Lillard and C.J. McCollum pick-and-roll and dribble handoff, short-circuiting Portland's every movement with the constant threat of eventual erasure.
Davis finished with 28 points — many of which came on soaring, emphatic, crushing dunks — on 11-for-18 shooting to go with 11 rebounds, three steals, two assists and two blocks in 35 minutes. Just another day at the office for a player sure to finish in the top five in MVP voting for the second time in his career.
No matter what the Blazers have tried in terms of matching up with the Davis-Mirotic front line, nothing has worked. The big problem: center Jusuf Nurkic (five points, seven rebounds, two assists, two steals) can't outmuscle Davis in the paint, can't defend Mirotic at the arc, and can't match the quickness of either. And while Stotts' other, more athletic options — Al-Farouq Aminu, Mo Harkless, Ed Davis, Zach Collins — have all fared well for stretches, none of them have been able to consistently dampen the Pelicans' bigs … which has been an especially significant issue given that Portland has proven utterly unable to make New Orleans pay in the backcourt.
Lillard is living a nightmare, right now, trapped between the length of Holiday and the resurgent Rondo at the point of attack and the quickness of Davis and Mirotic hectoring him every time he comes off a screen. He just can't find the space to launch off the bounce, and he can't burst past the big, physical Pelicans into daylight around the rim.
Lillard, a possible top-five MVP finisher in his own right, finished with 20 points on 14 shots on Thursday, but he never once seemed capable of grabbing the game by the scruff of its neck, as he had so many times during the regular season. He's frustrated by something he says feels different from anything he's dealt with to this point; something he understands, but doesn't seem to feel capable of counteracting.
"They're making me give the ball up… this is different covers than I've seen in any point of my career." – @Dame_Lillard breaks down how effective the @PelicansNBA's defensive strategy has been #NBAPlayoffs pic.twitter.com/MsxcoMUAwP
— NBA TV (@NBATV) April 20, 2018
Lillard was far from the only Blazer flustered by the Pelicans' ratcheted-up on-ball pressure and opportunistic work in the passing lanes; Portland committed a season-high 24 turnovers leading to 35 Pelicans points. But the All-Star point guard was the primary culprit, coughing the ball up eight times while notching just two assists in 35 minutes of floor time.
McCollum led the way with 22 points on 9-for-16 shooting with three rebounds and two assists for the Blazers, while forward Aminu (21 points, eight rebounds, two steals, an assist and a block) continued to do his level best to match two-way firepower with Davis and Mirotic. But the Blazers, again, just never seemed to get in sync against a Pelicans defense completely committed to disrupting the pick-and-roll attack that's been Portland's bread-and-butter all year long.
Lillard and McCollum have thrived by beating defenses whenever they bring two to the ball; against the length, activity, execution and aggressiveness of New Orleans' guards and bigs, they just haven't been able to do that consistently enough to generate points. Moving toward a more isolation-heavy approach, in which Lillard and McCollum don't call for screens but instead try their luck one-on-one, would represent a significant departure from Portland's preferred plan of attack in Stotts' motion offense. But against an opponent doubling the ball-handler on every screen and never letting go, it might also produce better results. At this point, it sure seems like it'd be worth a try.
At this point, though, it's also probably too little, too late. No team has ever come back from an 0-3 deficit in the NBA playoffs, and it seems much less likely that that record's going to be broken here than it does that the Blazers themselves are broken. A week ago, Portland had hopes of being a dark-horse conference finalist. Now, they're days away from an offseason in which the organization will have to make some difficult decisions about how this team should be reconstructed, and how that effort can even begin given a nine-figure balance sheet loaded with players who might be tough to move.
That's the power of what Davis, Holiday, Mirotic, Rondo and the rest of Gentry's charges have managed to accomplish in a week's time: they've turned Portland from one of the season's best stories back into a cautionary tale, all by virtue of their ruthless attention to detail and relentless execution of a smart game plan on both ends of the floor. It's been remarkable to watch, and you can bet it's got the rest of the Western Conference — including the Golden State Warriors, who also took a 3-0 lead in their opening-round series on Thursday, and who are staring down a matchup with these Pelicans in Round 2 that might not feature Stephen Curry in the early going — taking notice.

BEERloved has been approached by a company who wants us to carry their craft beer calendars. We like the calendars, but wanted to hear from our customers to get their take on them. Should we carry them? Your thoughts are most appreciated.
The first is a home brewing calendar with different recipes for each month.

By exercising the muscles and nerves in their eyes, seniors can reduce strain and improve the quality of their vision. Here are a few simple exercises North Broward respite caregivers can encourage seniors to practice each day.
1. Apply Warmth
Have your senior loved one rub his or her hands together to generate some heat. He or she should then close his or her eyes and then place his or her warm palms against them. The heat should help relax the eye muscles while closing the eyes helps lubricate them. He or she should do this two to three times for maximum benefit.
2. Roll the Eyes
Next, have your loved one open his or her eyes and roll them. Start by rolling the eyes in a clockwise motion first and repeat five to 10 times. Then switch directions and roll the eyes in a counterclockwise pattern. This should help loosen the muscles around the eyes and prevent eyestrain.
3. Look in Different Directions
Without moving his or her head, have your loved one look to one side with his or her eyes and hold his or her gaze for a few seconds. Then encourage your loved one to look straight up and hold his or her gaze for a few seconds more. Next, have your loved one shift his or her gaze to the other side and hold before looking down at his or her feet. Finally, have your loved one cross his or her eyes and hold this look for five to 10 seconds. This exercise will relax the eye muscles and exercise his or her visual acuity.
4. Shift Focus
Don't forget to help your senior loved one strengthen his or her focus. Start by having your senior loved one hold a pencil or pen at an arm's length away from his or her face and focus on it. Have him or her slowly move it closer until it's roughly six inches from your loved one's nose. Then have your loved one extend his or her arm again. Doing this several times will strengthen your loved one's near and farsighted vision.
Tests have shown that two months of using these exercises can strengthen the optical muscles. These four exercises are quick and easy to practice with your senior loved one and can significantly boost his or her visual acuity. Learn more about senior wellness by calling Home Care Assistance of North Broward, FL, at 954-906-5161. We provide comprehensive home care that boosts senior longevity and wellbeing by promoting healthy lifestyle habits including diet, exercise, and socialization. Schedule a free consultation with a friendly Care Manager when you call.


text: By the time Dan and I got to meet Erika + Michael we already felt like life long friends since we had been texting and face timing way before our first meet up. We went back in forth on ideas and planned what the perfect shoot would be for the both of them, until we finally decided on an in home session. So on the hunt we searched for a boho home and when I came across this downtown Los Angeles loft we just new this was the one. The loft had everything they wanted the bohemian rugs, the antique couches, vintage record player, and even the cutest library book case with a flippin ladder!!!! They wanted their engagement to be intimate with out the stress of having people look at them since it can be a little nerve wracking in the beginning because you don't know what you're getting yourself into. But within 5 seconds these two were giggling and into their zone. It's been such a gift meeting all our new couples and we so can't wait to shoot their wedding later this year! xx

This past week I finished reading Salman Rushdie's Satanic Verses, the book that sparked enough controversy among orthodox Muslims that it resulted in the Ayatollah Khomeini issuing a fatwa calling for Rushdie's death in 1989. (Talk about literary criticism!) Although the British government stepped in to provide the author with round-the-clock protection and Rushdie is still with us today, there remains serious tension over freedom of speech in connection with the novel, and its examination of the Muslim faith in connection with British immigration.
Satanic Verses was written in the style of magical realism (a la Gabriel Garcia Márquez' classic, One Hundred Years of Solitude, published in 1967). I loved the free flowing nature of the narrative as it follows the improbable journeys of two protagonists, Gibreel Farishta (a Bollywood superstar) and Saladin Chamcha (a voiceover virtuoso), after they are the sole survivors of a terrorist attack on their jumbo jet.
Nearing the end of the book, I brought it with me to my infusion therapy session Monday, and was taken by surprise with this opening sentence to the final subsection:
Eighteen months after his heart attack, Saladin Chamcha took to the air again in response to the telegraphed news that his father was in the terminal stages of multiple myeloma, a systemic cancer of the bone marrow that was "100 per cent fatal"…
Three months ago I'd never heard of multiple myeloma (MM), and now it's everywhere. While I mused briefly over how closely I needed to be following that particular plot development, you have to shake your head at the creative ways that art can imitate life.
One of the fascinating things about MM is that it's a corner of the cancer world (roughly one per cent of cancer today shows up as multiple myeloma) about which there is a lot of progress being made in how to treat it. What had been "100 per cent fatal" 30 years ago is not the same sure thing today. The stem-cell transplant procedure that I'll have done in July offers real hope of containing the cancer and giving me several more years of good quality living.
At the very worst it gives me something tangible and constructive to point towards, which is how my oncologists and I are approaching it. In turn, this helps me maintain an up-tempo attitude as I gear up for this summer's transplant. It allows me to be more thoroughly present for the limbo I am floating in right now, where, for the next 10 weeks, I'll be able to engage in regular email traffic, stay current with paperwork, attend concerts, and otherwise come across as relatively normal—even though I have little idea how much boost I'll garner from the transplant procedure. We won't know until we do it.
While none of this changes my overall fate (after all, we all die eventually), it definitely spices up my immediate prospects, and I am thankful for the gift of March through mid-July—this time out of time during which my pain has been manageable and there is ample room to read, reflect, write, and enjoy relationships. Life is good. No matter what happens with the transplant, I get the time I have right now.
While multiple myeloma is commonly abbreviated as "MM" in the medical literature, I laugh whenever I see that designation. Not because it evokes multi-colored chocolate pellets, but because "MM" conjures up Marilyn Monroe for me—just about as different an image from cancer as I could imagine. Life can be funny that way.
As an additional plus, after the catheter is removed Susan and I won't have to be quite so careful in bed, worried about what equipment we might accidentally knock around while cuddling.
To celebrate, this evening we'll attend a reprised performance of 42nd Street, the Broadway musical. Tomorrow, Susan's birthday, we'll drive to Stone Lake WI and spend the day with good friends, Ray & Elsie Martin, helping them open up their cabin for the summer.
Life is good.

I've been a little bad with posting recipe's recently and there is a reason for that. My renewed passion in the kitchen has impacted my waistline somewhat and I've been trying to get myself back on track. Having temptation lurking in front of me while everyone else was at work and school was not helping my plight and was a cruelty beyond belief...so I decided to lay off even baking anything that was going to tempt me out of my lettuce leaves!!
But alas, the family had had enough of it! And with the weather taking a nice dip over the weekend, the kids (and husband) demanded a treat to accompany their tea, coffee and hot chocolate...I was going to make a Carrot Cake to ease my conscience (carrots are vegetables and therefore carrot cake is healthy right? ) but that was not their idea of a treat. Ideas were flying all over the show, but little Zee won with his request for a vanilla cake. It made me scratch out a good old favourite Hot Milk Sponge Cake recipe of mine and it seems the family quite enjoyed it...'cos all that was left was a shaving of a slice that I admit, I ate while they were at school ;-)
- 4 Eggs
- 250 gr Castor sugar
- 280 gr Cake Flour
- 15 ml Baking Powder
- 250 ml Milk
- 100 gr Butter
- 5 ml Vanilla Essence
- Beat eggs and sugar together until thick and pale in colour.
- Sift flour and baking powder together and fold into egg and sugar mixture.
- Heat milk and butter. Do not boil.
- Stir milk mixture and essence into batter. Spoon into two greased and lined 20cm cake tins.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180 deg C for 25-30 minutes.
- Once cakes are cooled, sandwich together with icing or White Chocolate Ganache.
- 150 gr butter
- 300 gr icing sugar
- 3-4 Tablespoon milk
- 4 (or more) Tablespoon Golden Syrup
I usually cream butter and icing sugar really well until it is a light fluffy texture and then add milk, and golden syrup. I drizzled some melted milk chocolate over the icing, but you can decorate however you wish!
The sun was at a terrible angle when I took these photo's and I was rushing through them a bit because I had a starved out troop who hadn't seen cake in a while, waiting in line for a slice!! But I do hope it does the cake some justice...
Thanks for reading today and happy baking!

If you are looking to celebrate the Day of the Dead in style, take inspiration from our post. Here is a collection of 50 sugar skull makeup ideas looking very amazing and awesome.
Dia De Los Muertos developed out of over 2,500 years of indigenous ritual celebrating death and paying respects to loved ones who have passed away and is celebrated November 1st and 2nd. In Mexico, November 1st is dedicated as Dia De Los Inocentes, a day to honor and respect children and infants. November 2nd is Dia De Los Muertos, the day to honor deceased adults.
Over the last few years sugar skulls have gained a lot of popularity. With so many color options the only limit is your imagination. So which one of these sugar skull makeup ideas would you pick for yourself?

Higger Tor – Peak District
Last weekend (1st & 2nd August 2015) was an unusual one for a Barnsley Wedding Photographer in mid-summer (yes apparently it is summer, even if the weather disagrees) in that I had a weekend "off"
No Weddings to shoot (due to a cock-up not of my doing lol), and nothing else booked in so time for a well earned bit of rest – except – I then get a call asking if I want to go see a "Masters of Vision" landscape photography exhibition near Nottingham. Well, as I'm also offering Lake District Landscape Photography Courses and Holidays it'd be rude not to wouldn't it; and amidst some rather dodgy images and amazingly sky-high prices were a few gems of photographers new to me – which is nice
Naturally the plan was to then take some photos somewhere and despite an initial foray into Notts town centre (not to be recommended) we set off to somewhere I've never been before in the Peak District National Park – a place called Higger Tor – which I can't stop thinking of as Tigger's Hor !!! Giving a totally different perspective on what it might be lol
For those not familiar with Higger Tor its basically opposite the rather more famous Stanage Edge, a gritstone escarpment well known to climbers, walkers and photographers alike
Higger Tor images
What follows then is a set of images showing my first brief take on Higger Tor taken over just 35 minutes on-site starting at 2:50 p.m. before heading to a pub to avoid the coming rain, we then emerged at 4:50 p.m. for a further 15 minutes of shooting at Stanage Edge prior to making a dash to avoid a storm that was coming in. So what follows is less than an hour's total photography at this awesome spot – well worth a visit for picnics and photography, but take a little longer and you'll get better shots I'm sure
Stanage Edge images
Here I was determined to take a shot or two of THE most cliched image possible here – lol – a milestone! Aside from their historical significance I don't find them photogenic at all – but I shot them anyway for fun

ONE of the biggest fishing-mad nations is trying to decimate all their carp with a killer virus, KHV, that can destroy 95 per cent of the population.
While the British government are trying to rid England and Wales of the killer Koi Herpes Virus (KHV), the Australian government are spending £8 million pounds releasing the deadly plague.
Dubbed "Carpageddon" by their government, the National Carp Control Plan is being put through by their deputy prime minister Barnaby Joyce, who hit the headlines last year for wanting to kill Johnny Depp's dogs.
Non-native carp have tore through Australia like rabbits did last century, and the Murray River where the initial attack will begin, is now estimated to have a carp biomass approaching 90 per cent.
Australia released myxomatosis into the wild in 1950 and that killed 500 million rabbits in two years.
'Millions of tonnes of carp will be dead'
Science minister Christopher Pyne said: "Suddenly, there will be literally hundreds of thousands, if not millions of tonnes of carp that will be dead and it will be costly to remove the corpses."
Top Leicestershire-based fisheries scientist Ian Wellby of acclaimed fisheries consultants, Blue Roof Ltd, said: "I have severe doubts about this. The virus can cause a high percent mortality as has been seen in Japan. However it often doesn't as can be seen in some of the UK outbreaks.
"The ones left will be immune and so would have to be dealt with by a different method otherwise you would be quickly back to square one. Also it can infect other species of fish, but I assume they have checked native fish species.
"Biological systems are never simple and I fear the law of unintended consequences may see an outcome that is unexpected.
"It seems strange that river can carry such a huge biomass of carp and perhaps there is something else that is causing the problem for example a very high nutrient loading in the river system from agricultural run off," added Ian.
No KHV has been found so far in 2016 by the Fish Health Inspectorate in the UK but the disease comes into force with warmer water temperatures, normally in August and September. Last year 11 venues were hit, with 23 in 2014.

So….what do you think of my new website? I'm so excited to share it with you!
I've been working for the last several months on this project – in my spare (cough, cough) free time. *Ü* It's been a true labor of love and it's going to allow me to combine all of the things I enjoy: stamping, Stampin' Up! and website design. Here are the 3 things I love the most about the new design:
- The Colors! These are my colors! The remind me of the Oregon shore, a place where I can relax and be calm. I immediately began putting a "mood board" together and everything just finally fell together – I've struggled with my color scheme for years (as those of you who have been long-time subscribers know!)
- My New Logo! Oh my gosh – I finally was able to find a logo that would work with my "theme" — as well as my logo for my Stampin' Up! team. I love, love, love it! The "Queen Bee" was just perfect for the mood I was trying to convey – elegant but a bit whimsical too! (Do you know where the "BZB" comes from? My maiden name is "Zick" and when I got married, I took my maiden name as my middle name – hence, Barbara Zick Brimhall!)
- The Versatility! Since I built this website myself, and have been gradually building my knowledge for years, everything just seemed to come together with this website revision. Not only will I be able to feature my Stampin' Up! cards here, I plan to blog about Stampin' Up! Demonstrator issues, how to build a crafty blog, and more. It will truly combine all of my loves. But best of all? It will be all categorized so if you could care less about direct sales or social media, you'll be able to just check out my Stampin' Up! posts. Wahoo!!
I'll be back tomorrow with a Stampin' Up! post (and it's a very cute card!) but I just had to share my happy news with you!
I still have a lot of tinkering left to do on the website, but the "shell" is done. I'd *love it* if you'd leave me a comment below and let me know what you think!

As a national and international speaker, she has spoken to over 250,000 people including over 100,000 students in Missouri alone. Her training through monster.com, television and travel have all equipped her for her current task. For every question, for every insecurity and for every hurdle, He has provided. Without a word from Jaclyn, God called her husband, Nathan, into ministry alongside her. He has placed them in the perfect place for support and encouragement as they navigate ministry, marriage and family.

Lots of people make big plans for their future. Megan Riehle, sophomore, is one of those people. She aspires to double major in marine biology and English or journalism at her dream school, University of British Columbia in Toronto.
Riehle was born in Hawaii and has been in the water since she was an infant. She was outside in nature, exploring for much of her childhood. This inspired her love of marine biology.
Her family engaged her in political and current events conversations from a young age, which sparked her desire to pursue journalism. Seeing as her favorite subject in school has always been English, alongside her desire to provoke conversation and change, Riehle says it seems only fitting that she would go into the field.
"I believe that our most powerful asset is our words and our voice," Riehle said. "Whether you are a musician, an author or a journalist, the use of your words to inspire change is an incredible thing. I think this gives every person so much power to be the person to make a difference, rather than the person who just sits around watching."
Riehle has many hobbies including fashion design, music, and art. Regardless of what field she may go into, she says, these are things she will do for fun and to escape the stress of adult life.
"My biggest fear is not accomplishing the things I've always dreamed of doing," Riehle said. "I will do everything in my power to make those things happen for myself. I think the biggest failure would be to settle for something less than what I am capable of."

Frida Kahlo
The Scuderie del Quirinale in Rome is hosting a magnificent exhibition on the life and work of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo (1907-1954), a symbol of the artistic avant-garde and of the exuberance of Mexican culture in the 20th century:
"The legend which has grown up around the life and work of Frida Kahlo has reached global proportions; the unquestioned icon of 20th century Mexican culture and the seductive subject of a Hollywood movie, Frida Kahlo's contribution to contemporary culture comprises one of the most inextricable tangles of art and life of the whole of the 20th century. Yet her paintings do not merely mirror her life, severely marked as it was by the physical and psychological injuries that she suffered in the terrible accident in which she was involved at the age of seventeen. Her art is fused with the history and spirit of her contemporary world, reflecting the social and cultural transformations that led up to the Mexican Revolution and ensued in its wake.
It was precisely the revolutionary spirit that prompted her to reassess the country's native past and traditions, which she considered to be irrepressible identity codes, generating an unprecedented fusion between self-expression and the language, the imagination, the colors and the symbols of Mexican popular culture. At the same time, Frida is an expression of the artistic avant-garde and the cultural exuberance of her time, and a study of her work allows us to intercept the trajectories of all the most important international cultural movements that criss-crossed the Mexico of her day, from Revolutionary Pauperism to Stridentism and from Surrealism to what was become known decades later as Magical Realism.
The exhibition sets out to gather around a corpus of her work a selection of absolute masterpieces from major collections, key works belonging to other public and private collections in Mexico, the United States and Europe. The project is completed by a selection of photographs portraying the artist, including those take by Nickolas Murray in the 1940s, a crucial and intriguing complement to Frida Kahlo's art in terms of her iconographic codification. This, because while the exhibition sets out to present and explore the development of Frida Kahlo's artistic career from beginnings that still owe a debt to New Objectivity and to Magical Realism to her revival of traditional and ancestral art, and from the echos of American Realism in the 1920s and '30s (Edward Hopper, Charles Sheeler, Georgia O'Keefe) to the ideological and political aspects inspired by Mexican muralism (Rivera, Orozco), the predominant theme in the exhibition is self-depiction, both in terms of the numerically important role that the "self-portrait" genre plays in her overall output and, above all, in terms of the unique significance that it has acquired in the transmission of the iconographical, psychological and cultural values that have shaped the "legend of Frida".
Both the exhibition and the catalog are designed and curated by Helga Prignitz-Poda, a distinguished expert in the life and career of Frida Kahlo and the co-author, together with Salomon Grimberg and Andrea Kettenmann, of the catalogue raisonné of the artist's work published in 1988." (Source)

The next generation iPhone is one of the most anticipated gadgets of the year. Recently a parts re-seller, ETradeSupply, got its hands on the already leaked back plate parts of the upcoming iPhone 5 (that were previously shared by the iPhone repair experts). ETradeSupply posted the video on YouTube that demonstrates major design changes in the new version.
The video clearly shows following major changes in the upcoming iPhone:
- Overall, it will have a taller design, around 4-inch diagonally. However, its width will be same as iPhone 4 or 4S models
- The upcoming iPhone will be much thinner than any of its predecessor models
- The headphone jack has been relocated from top to the bottom of iPhone
- The Chinese supplier confirmed that the leaked back plate is neither a battery door nor a middle plate. it's an integrated one piece anchored by an aluminium alloy
- The dock connector has been redesigned to a smaller size
- The videographer said that the SIM card holder piece is smaller in size. So the SIM card for the next generation iPhone should be smaller than the MicroSIM card used in iPhone 4 and 4S
- The Chinese parts supplier confirmed that they have seen two other colors of the back plate. Apple may launch new iPhones in two more colors
Next week Apple should confirm during WWDC that how true the rumors are. All these specifications suggest that the new iPhone will have a different look and design.
What do you think would be new specifications in the iPhone 5? Drop your comments.

Processed foods, additives and chemicals are inferior to real food and are potentially harmful to your health.
So why do you still eat it?
Why do you still eat that packaged granola bar and snack on those whole grain crackers? You may think that heart healthy label means something, but it doesn't hold a candle to real food.
What is Read Food?
Here's an easy way to tell if your food is real or not: If your food can go bad, it's good for you. If your food can't go bad, it's bad for you.
Real food is fresh and unprocessed.
The Real Food Challenge
This real food challenge has the potential to change your body forever. Take the next 7 days to ONLY eat real food. One week is a very short time in the grand scheme of things, and I know you can do this.
Just try it for one week to see and feel the difference in your body.
The Rules
During the next 7 days you will avoid eating all of the following food items:
Here's a list of the real foods that you will eat instead:
Those four categories of food can be combined into endless, flavorful combinations. Check out the following meal ideas:
Breakfast:Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. What you decide to eat when you first wake up will set the tone for the rest of your meals that day.
Lunch: Plan your lunch ahead of time in order to avoid turning to a fast food joint or vending machine. Pack your lunch the night before and carry it with you.
Dinner: Dinner is the meal where most people splurge and eat far more calories than they should. Eating at home is the first step in reducing your dinnertime calories.
While healthy eating is a huge factor in achieving your ideal weight, exercise is the other (very important) half of the equation.
Your exercise routine should be challenging and should be done on a regular basis.
Call or email me today and we will get you started on the exercise program that will reshape your body in 2013.

We frequently write about the various protections that the law affords students with learning disabilities. The law also affords students with physical disabilities a host of education-related protections as well. While some physically disabled students require special education services, others do not. Regardless of whether or not physically disabled students require special education services specifically, they are entitled to certain protections which enable them to learn in the least restrictive environment possible and to obtain a proper education.
For example, the Americans with Disabilities Act helps to ensure that physically disabled students who use wheelchairs or other assistive technology can safely navigate their schools' grounds. This law also helps to ensure that students who require service animals can have access to these animals as needed during the school day. However, simply because a policy is law does not mean that this policy is always followed to the letter.
One family was recently compelled to file a complaint against their local school for denying a disabled boy access to his service animal during both the school day and school-related activities. The ADA specifically requires public schools to implement reasonable service animal policies so that this kind of situation does not occur.
In response to the complaint, the school has agreed to pay the boy's family $10,000. The school is also now committed to properly implementing a service animal policy in compliance with ADA provisions.
Sometimes families of disabled children must fight to ensure that schools comply with federal and state disability and special education laws. Thankfully, attorneys experienced in this area of law can help families navigate these frustrating situations.

Great Tips For You When You Use A Lawyer
Facing a legal battle can be a very intimidating process, whether it's criminally related or a simple real estate issue. Nothing is easy to understand and it's easy to get overwhelmed. Fortunately, the following article contains useful advice for finding the right lawyer for your needs and working your way through the system.
Legal proceedings can often be confusing and complicated when you lack a background in the law, so make sure to let your lawyer know when you are confused or if you a clearer idea of what to expect from your trial. He or she should return your calls in a timely manner.
A good tip if you're thinking about hiring a lawyer is to listen to your gut when it comes down to whether or not you're going to hire that person. Your lawyer is going to represent you in court, so if your lawyer seems unscrupulous, it's going to fall back on you.
A good tip if you're thinking about hiring a lawyer is to not get swept away with just the costs alone. Deciding on the cheapest lawyer around isn't always the best idea, and it can actually cost you more in the long run because they might not be very experienced.
You may not know that you are entitled to have everything you've shared with a lawyer to be kept confidential. For example, a lawyer cannot discuss key business issues involved in a case with your competition.
Finding a good lawyer is a lot of work. You should put some time aside to do some research and give yourself a few weeks to compare different options. Meet different lawyers to get quotes and ask for advice. You should not expect to find a quality lawyer right away.
Even if you feel intimidated, never be too shy to express your concerns and fears to your attorney. A good lawyer will explain in detail what he or she is doing and keep you updated. If the attorney you are working with fails to communicate openly and willingly, then perhaps you need to reconsider your choice.
Wait to sign a contract with an attorney until you feel the situation is right. Request an estimate from the attorney so that you know approximately how many hours he or she intends on putting into the case. If the lawyer refuses, move on. A range is acceptable, but it is not fair if you have no idea what you are getting into.
Keep a paper trail. Document all conversations and meetings with your lawyer. Take note of all questions asked, as well as their answers and record all arrangements and discussions of fees and charges. Lawyers are only human and make mistakes. Give yourself a layer of protection with excessive record keeping.
The legal system is pretty scary, that's why lawyers are there to help us figure it all out. Winning a case or your freedom is much easier to accomplish when you've got the right lawyer working for you. Use the above advice for your legal matters and the results will be much more favorable.

IV and Oral Conscious Sedation
If you have any anxiety associated with oral surgery and other dental procedures, you are not alone. Many patients choose sedation dentistry to manage fears and phobias so they can receive the oral care they need to maintain a healthy mouth. At Palisades Surgical Arts, we offer several forms of sedation to provide a safe, comfortable, and pain-free experience. Two of the most popular options are IV and oral conscious sedation.
What is IV Sedation?
During Intravenous or IV Sedation, we administer a sedative through your vein, allowing the medication to take hold quickly. It is one of the most popular choices among patients today. It is also commonly known as "twilight anesthesia," because you are put in a state between consciousness and sleep. You will maintain your ability to understand and respond to verbal commands; however, most patients have little or no recollection of the procedure.
We often recommend IV sedation for oral surgery procedures, such as dental implant installations, long and complex surgeries, wisdom tooth extractions, and other invasive treatments. Although the dental procedure may take a couple of hours, it may feel as if it only takes minutes.
IV sedation makes it easy to monitor and tailor the amount of sedative used for each specific patient, reducing the risk of side effects and other complications. We will provide supplemental oxygen through your nasal cavity, and monitor your vital signs closely, both during and after the procedure.
What is Oral Conscious Sedation?
Oral conscious sedation, or enteral sedation, involves the administration of oral sedative drugs in the form of a pill or liquid. Often, it is used in conjunction with nitrous oxide gas. Like IV sedation, you will be in a depressed state of consciousness. The most common drugs for oral conscious sedation include diazepam, lorazepam, triazolam, zaleplon, and hydroxyzine.
We typically recommend oral conscious sedation for patients with generalized anxiety, generalized fear of dentistry, prior oral trauma, or a fear of needles and sharp instruments. You may still be awake, but the sedative will eliminate your anxieties. The entire process is simple and comfortable.

When boat builder and rigger Kit Africa, of Port Townsend, Washington, decided to create a lidded tote for his rigging and ship's carpentry tools, he set specific goals: The box had to be strong, durable and commodious, and hold his tools readily accessible. Yet, to be accommodated aboard ship, it also had to fit into the smallest possible space.
While mulling over—and rejecting— many typical lidded-tote designs, Africa realized that certain features of the canvas tool roll, which is most commonly used for carrying sets of chisels or auger bits (see pp. 138-139), might well meet his demanding criteria. When rolled up, the enclosed tools would form a cylinder, one of the most efficient shapes to stow on a crowded boat. When unrolled, the tools would become instantly accessible. The only
Optional drawers push open to either side.
Tools hang on either side of vertical partition.
Chisels mount to lid.
Drawers at base of tote can be made to full width of tote—they then open to one side or push open to either side.
Finger hole or recessed ring
Vertical center partition extends to floor of case if drawers are built on either side.

Miracle Drink – No Pain In 1 Week (Joints, Legs And Back)
Pain in your back, legs, joints and neck pain can be really unbearable and annoying. It usually happens because of too much stress, bad posture and unhealthy diet. However, we have less and less time nowadays and we usually neglect the pain, especially if it is a minor one, until it becomes an issue.
If you are one of those always-in-a-hurry people, here is the solution for you. This recipe will undoubtedly help you.
– cold water
– edible gelatin (enough for 30 days)
Put 5gr. of edible gelatin in some cold water and stir well. Leave the mixture until the next morning. If you put it in a refrigerator it can turn into jelly, but you can consume it like that too.
Take this mixture on an empty stomach every morning for 30 days. You will see results after the first week. After a month you should stop consuming it and you can go on with the same procedure only after 6 months. You can also add yogurt, juice or honey to the mixture to sweeten it and make it tastier.
This is so effective because bones, collagen, cartilage and tendons are all composed of amino acids which can help in tissue recovery. It is very good for your immune system and it also strenghtens your ligaments. Gelatin also helps in osteoporosis and osteoarthritis prevention, but only if consumed in the right way (consume it regularly for a month after a break of 6 months).

Do you like garage metal? If you do, then you should definitely check out Tenderizor's album "Touch The Sword" for eight tracks of desert thrash noise. It's great when a band calls itself something you can't help but immediately agree with.
Tenderizor's first track begins with 8-bit guitar arpeggios, and when you think there couldn't possibly be more lead guitar parts, swoops in with droning whole notes. After almost a minute and a half of suspense, chords blare and "Hellucination" begins in earnest. Vocals begin well after the three minute mark, as does a pounding bass drum. This is indeed desert thrash noise.
The cover of their album is a large red eagle carrying a white sword with a skull on the end of the handle. The photos on their Facebook page suggest they don't take themselves too seriously though and instead have an awesome time playing shows in houses. There are too many sweaty crowd members for their shows to not be fun.
Their second track, "Rockweiler", begins immediately at full force. After a short break down, chants of "Rockweiler" take over. The rest of the album continues as desired, thrashy and noisy.
Tenderizor consists of Pat Day, Mike Day, Raven Cacon, Kris Kerby, and Steve Hammond. Steve, the vocalist for the band, prefers to be called 'Steed Handlor'. Each player lists "noise" as one of their instruments on the band's Facebook page. Check out Tenderizor and find out what desert thrash rock is all about. You will surely agree that this band is one of the noisiest around.

It was 6:15 PM in Singapore and I was at my desk working as usual. And then I felt that some one is rocking my chair. And after few seconds I realised that it was an earthquake. The building was shaking and we all should rush down to a safety place. But imagine coming down from 30th floor as ideally that's what you should do in case of emergency. But nah! I took the elivator hoping that it won't crash in between the floors. And we all came down safely and stood outside a 60 storey building. If you look for a safer shelter in the city limit I would say that we do not have one. We are surrounded by tall buildings and I could not imagine what would happen if any one of them crashed.

Prehistoric Romeo and Juliet discovered
Posted in Blogging in general, Love Story, News on February 8, 2007| 46 Comments »
Archaeologists in Italy have dug a pair of human skeletons, their arms still wrapped around each other in an eternal embrace.
Archaeologists unearthed the skeletons dating back to the late Neolithic period outside Mantua, 25 miles south of Verona, the city of Shakespeare's story of doomed love.
Buried between 5,000 and 6,000 years ago, the prehistoric pair are believed to have been a man and a woman and are thought to have died young, because their teeth were found intact, said Elena Menotti, the archaeologist who led the dig.
Experts will now study the artifacts and the skeletons to determine the burial site's age and how old the two were when they died, she said. The finds will then go on display at Mantua's Archaeological Museum.Establishing the cause of death could prove almost impossible, unless they were killed by a debilitating disease, a knife or something else that might have left marks on the bones.
The two bodies, which cuddle closely while facing each other on their sides, were probably buried at the same time, an indication of a possible sudden and tragic death.
No GMail for Europe
Posted in Gmail, News on February 1, 2007| Leave a Comment »
German users can't sign up for "gmail.com" accounts, they get "googlemail.com" instead.
Daniel Giersch, a German-born 32-year old entrepreneur, has just announced that his company received a positive ruling last week from the Harmonization Office supporting his claim that "Gmail" and his own "G-mail" are confusingly similar. G-mail is a German service that provides a "gmail.de" email address, but also allows for a sort of "hybrid mail" system in which documents can be sent electronically, printed out by the company, and delivered in paper format to local addresses.
Giersch has been successful in German courts so far, which is why German users can't sign up for "gmail.com" accounts, and he has now taken his fight to the EU office that handles trademark disputes for the continent.
Google is certainly interested in using the Gmail name wherever it can—Giersch claims the company offered him $250,000 for it at one point—but it now looks it will be "Google Mail" throughout Europe.
