Childish Reporter Can't Handle Hearing the Word 'Beaver'
There are plenty of good reasons for uncontrollable laughter. A moose huffing car exhaust is one of them. "Just because" is totally one of them. Sometimes a single word is all it takes. That's what happened to one news anchor in the above clip.
The broadcast from Tulsa's KJRH was airing a segment about an orphaned and rescued beaver named Rocky. Before throwing to the next segment one anchor started tossed the word beaver around carelessly. That is guaranteed to end in an innuendo-laced sentence. He makes it happen a couple times before breaking through his cohost's defenses.
The laughter starts and can't be controlled, even as they go to weather. It seems like things have calmed during weather. But when they cut back to the anchors, things have gone poorly. They're still fighting laughter and wiping tears from their eyes.
Watch the clip above and satiate your own childish tendencies with more news mishaps with mash-ups of the best news bloopers from the lastthreemonths or a compilation of ones that are all about sexual innuendo.

text: After what has seemed like quite a bit of work, the remaining two ruined houses of the Bolt Action Ruined Hamlet kit from Warlord Games is finished. I combined the two to make a larger house, perhaps a small manor. There is still few pieces leftover from which I will make some over grown ruins (not for Kodsticklerburg). Two things about this piece: I forgot that chimneys need fireplaces, so I will have to make at least one; secondly I got a little excited and didn't wait for the Superleaf flock on the hedge to dry before applying the static grass. Consequently, there is static grass on the hedge. Oh well... green meteorites, chaos and all that... I have taken several pictures, some better than others.

Muddy Waters said he was still delivering the Blues because he "had a long memory". La Quinta Arts Foundation hopes to create some memories at the Third Annual La Quinta Blues and Brews, Saturday, November 21, 2009 from 11am to 6pm at La Quinta Civic Center Campus. Not the 12-bar progressions of pain and heartache which characterize the music genre born out of work songs and field hollers of slaves, but good memories of community gathered to appreciate this authentic American music form.
The event features three live blues bands, over 30 microbrew and craft beers, and a variety of great food. Tickets are $20 at the gate or $15 by advance purchase at www.LQAF.com and include four, 4oz. beer samples, or one 16 oz. beer, or one glass of wine, or two bottles of water.
Leading off the day's entertainment at 11am are local favorites Barry Baughn Blues Band, Barry Baughn guitars/vocals, Alan Diaz drums/vocals, Bob Gross bass/vocals John "Mad Dog" Ruiz Hammond B3/piano. These blues impresarios fill the house each weekend at Shanghai Reds in Palm Springs, and are sure to be a draw at LQB&B.
Next up at 1:30pm is Pamela G & Blues Addiction. The dynamic vocalist Pamela G. has won numerous titles of best blues singer, and best female performer for the Inland Empire and Orange County
2006, 2007, and 2008, in addition to many accolades and awards from songwriting competitions. She has shared the stage with blues greats Robert Cray, Rod Piazza, BB King, Buddy Guy and Jimmy Vaughn.
Headlining the event starting at 3:30pm is Gino Matteo & Family Phunk. With his recent premier release I've Been Thinkin, Gino Matteo is burnin up Blues airwaves with songs like Bone in the Soup, Chocolate Jesus, Liquor Store Man and the album title I've Been Thinkin. This 25 year old phenom song writer, guitarist and vocalist has been described as "an old soul – with a voice as smooth as velvet but tough as nails."
According to Gino,"…if you could wrap up Tom Waits, Chris Cain, and Stevie Wonder into a ball that would be where I live musically."
I've Been Thinkin has just been nominated for Best Blues Album in the 2009 Just Plain Folks Music Awards, and songs Hopeless Sinner and Only 24 nominated in the Best Blues Song Category. Gino's song Liquor Store Man received an honorable mention at the Billboard World Songwriting Contest in 2008.
Over 30 craft and microbrews will be offered including Redhook Ale, Fat Tire, Firestone Double Barrel Ale, Humbolt Hemp Ale, Stone Pale Ale, Arrogant Bastard Ale, Stella Artois, Beck's, Beck's Oktoberfest , Leffe, Kona Pipeline Porter, Widmer Hefeweizen, Shock Top, B.L.

You ever watch those 70s movies where there's always gratuitous shots of men and women with their shirts off. The women usually have perky little boobies, while the dudes are tan and hairy. This bat in pants reminds me of those dudes. Plus, he's heroic like a lot of those dudes in the movies, and he probably has a bit of a wild streak as you can see by the way he cocks his head, and his patent leather shoes. That robin in this Batman and Robin Spoof T Shirt wonders every day if he really made the right choice hanging with this weirdo, but somewhat charismatic creature.
Busted Tees shows it's true creepy colors with this one. Watch out! They're lurking in the alley with airplane glue and macaroni.

Among the finest places to begin your is online. In the event you undertake some exploration, you should be capable of getting the better debt consolidation organizations. The next step is to contact all of them and find out what they are able to do for you. The very best consolidation companies don't produce you a loan. They are going to assist you to learn to de fleste your money much better, which means you don't get into this kind of example again.
One of them is best consolidation loans for credit cards. This type of debt relief just means that you can take a loan which will pay back your different debts. Many people assume that this is not really a treatment. It is like developing an issue to take care of one other problem. Or even searching a hole so that you can fill up another one.
Now how can you do that? Actually, there are lots of ways to attack your trouble with the credit of the card. Different men and women will suggest dealing with your problem with the credit score of your card. although here is a simple strategy to get rid of your credit card debt problem.
Why don't define Needs plus Wants? Needs are items that are necessary to your existence. Your hire or mortgage, this, the electric, paying down your how to consolidate credit card debt, foodstuff. Wants are the items which you normally have funds for and at the finish of the week you might be saying to yourself, "hum, I wonder wherever all of my funds went? " Typically the bottles of developer water, the Starbucks, your manicure in addition to a pedicure, going out to be able to dinner many time and time again of the week, and so forth These are the items that you may easily live without. Tally both your Wants plus your Needs, then have a long look at your own Wants and see your skill without that calendar month. I would venture to talk about that you will save a considerable amount of money at the end of typically the month. I know that we did!!
When it comes to charge card maintenance, one of the first things that you need to do is to avoid major debt consolidation companies 2015. The real reason for this is certainly that they do not truly help you to consolidate the debt. They may not be helpful and they are more or less soon after your cash.
Appropriately, take heart! On this page, we will show you being unfaithful ways that you can pay back credit card bills faster you ever thought you can. Even something as easy as Paying read more about one card a month can save you hundreds of us dollars in finance expenses.
Myth number 5. Your credit will be destroyed forever. The truth is that numerous debtors are able to swiftly rebound from an individual bankruptcy and in many cases my consumers are able to obtain home loans within 18 months-3 years after the individual bankruptcy discharge. Many borrowers have excellent credit rating prior to filing individual bankruptcy because they were present on their consolidate credit card debt into one payment ahead of filing. Finally, Collectors often see those who file for bankruptcy as a far better credit risk as compared to people with no personal bankruptcy and tons of charge cards. The reason for this is which they know that someone who only filed for individual bankruptcy cannot re-file with regard to 8 years even though the person with no individual bankruptcy buttons of combine credit card debt into one transaction could file any kind of time moment!
Just remember that a bankruptcy may appear like a solution for those who have struggled with your funds but it will damage you for a high seven to ten years. In case you are able to get debt settlement from debt settlement, debt consolidation reduction or even counseling, this is an excellent way to avoid bankruptcy.

Read 2 Kings 7, Micah 1, and Proverbs 25:1-14 today. This devotional is about 2 Kings 7.
At the end of 2 Kings 6, Samaria[1] was in big trouble. They were facing two powerful threats. The first was a siege laid by the Aramaeans (6:24) which prevented anything–food, other products, or people–from entering the city.
The second threat was "a great famine in the city" (6:25). Either of these would have caused economic stress to the city of Samaria. Dealing with both problems at the same time was a disaster. The most meager amounts of food cost an outrageous sum of money (6:25). It was worse than buying food at an airport or in the stadium of a professional sports league.
As a result, people were starving and desperate for the most basic essentials of survival. They even turned to cannibalizing their own children just to survive (6:26-29).
Instead of pleading with God for help and appealing to his servant Elisha, the king of Israel blamed the Lord and determined to kill Elisha (6:30-33). Here in 2 Kings 7, we resume the story.
Elisha prophesied overnight (literally) relief from the famine (v. 1). The prices quoted here in 2 Kings 7:1 are higher than usual, but the products Elisha mentioned weren't available at ANY price when he said these words. Remember this was a man that God used to multiply oil (2 Kings 4:1-7) and bread (2 Kings 4:42-44) among many other miracles.
Yet, despite his track record, the king's officer mocked Elisha. His statement in verse 2, "Look, even if the Lord should open the floodgates of the heavens, could this happen?" was a scoffing response. Elisha's answer was judgement for this man: You will see it with your own eyes… but you will not eat any it!" (v. 2c).
God kept his promises both to provide for the people (vv. 3-18) and to judge the king's commander for his unbelief (vv. 19-20). In a situation that looked impossible, God provided in an extraordinary way.
God is able and willing to provide for us but we often blame him for our problems rather than coming to him for his assistance. It is sometimes God's will for us to suffer but there are other times when we suffer just because we don't believe God will provide and so we don't bother asking him.
What is the greatest need in your life right now? Have you sought God's help and favor in that area, asking him to provide? He is able to provide faster than you can even imagine.
[1] Remember that Israel was divided into Israel, the Northern Kingdom and Judah, the Southern Kingdom. Samaria was the capital city of the Northern Kingdom also known as "Israel."

Senator Roth Visits U.S.VETS – Inland Empire
On July 17, 2014 state Senator Richard D. Roth visited the U.S.VETS facility aboard the former March Air Force Base. U.S.VETS – Inland Empire is located on property controlled by the March Joint Powers Authority, and includes a modestly converted barracks, kitchen, computer lab and several office spaces. The barracks and smaller building previously served as enlisted quarters and an Officer's Club, respectively.
During the visit, Senator Roth—a retired Major General in the U.S. Air Force Reserve—met with Executive Director Eddie Estrada, who offered more insight into the program's history and future initiatives. Estrada briefed Sen. Roth on the operations of the facility, outlined the center's plans for expansion, and expressed to Senator Roth the need for future funding. Additionally, the Senator met with fellow veterans and gained a first-person perspective on life at U.S.VETS. A focal point of the program is to end homelessness among veterans—a goal that is consistent with a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs directive.
With the support of legislators like Senator Roth, U.S.VETS will continue to provide a comprehensive continuum of services in order to successfully transition veterans to self-sufficiency in civilian life.

Module 06: Loan management
The conceptual content of the Module 4 and Module 6 are similar. This has been done deliberately since Module 4 is an introduction to theme and Module 6 building on it. The slides in Module 4 introduce the concepts and some of the basic formulas needed to do the Aglend case study. Then Module 6 is focused basically on a case study that deepens the participant's knowledge and skills at working with ratios. Remember: The 10 modules are designed so that they build progressively the participant's understanding. The first five modules can be offered independently as an introductory course. Then the second set of five modules (Numbers 6 through 10) can be offered as a more advanced course for those who have taken the introductory course or for persons who already through their work experience have the basic knowledge provided in the first five modules. Modules 9 and 10 also offer advanced topics within the module folders as shown in folders marked Module 9 Advanced and Module 10 Advanced respectively.

Brett O'Connor wrote an informative article on using Amazon's EC2 service to host a Bittorrent client. For an estimated $75/mo, he can feed his torrent addiction without impacting the bandwidth on his local network.
For me, at home, trying to maintain my ratio has caused big problems for my evening Left 4 Dead sessions, and can sometimes even make day-to-day web browsing a frustration.
So then why not then move Bittorrent out of the home/office and into the cloud? This weekend I was able to do just that with great success. Using Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and TorrentFlux (a web-based Bittorrent manager which runs on top of Bit Tornado). I created a web-based, open-source Bittorrent "machine" that liberated my network and leveraged Amazon's instead. I can access it from anywhere, uploading Torrent files from wherever, and manage them from my iPhone.
Apart from the bits about setting up TorrentFlux, this is actually a great introductory guide to configuring and using the Amazon EC2 service. Those of you who have used EC2 would probably agree with me that it's a more concise and straightforward introduction than Amazon's own documentation.

Joy and gratitude lie at the heart of our Sunday Services.
Our understanding is non-traditional. We take seriously the different ways people have come together in spirit. For us, Sunday mornings are about celebrating, wrestling with, integrating, arguing with the things we hold dear.
Or to put it another way, we join together to "remember" – to remember what makes life truly worth living. This idea of reminding each other what truly matters is especially central to Sunday Services at Neighbourhood.
Some newcomers are surprised that the word "God" is so rarely used during our Sunday Services. This is because we understand our services are broader than honouring or connecting to a traditional personal deity. Some of our members find such connection important and use our time of prayer and meditation to meet this need. But whether we are a theist, agnostic or atheist, we all believe that life is sacred as we gather to help each other remember who we most want to be.
At our best we offer an experience that touches our soul.

"The white man is very clever. He came quietly and peaceably with his religion. We were amused at his foolishness and allowed him to stay. Now he has won our brothers, and our clan can no longer act like one. He has put a knife on the things that held us together and we have fallen apart."
–Chinua Achebe, Things Fall Apart
At the Berlin Conference 1884, the European leaders decided to divide Africa among themselves to
avoid any war in Europe.
Amongst the leading European powers of the 19th century, there was a race to occupy more and more land and subjugate more and more people. In Africa, the process of invasion, occupation, colonisation and annexation was known as the Scramble for Africa. In the years between 1881 until World War I, the race continued. Europeans nations came up with a plan of partitioning of Africa to avoid Europe-wide war over Africa.
Historians have credited the beginning of the scramble with "The Berlin Conference" that was held in 1884 that aimed at regulating the process of colonisation and establishing conduct for European colonisers to carry on their trades in Africa. It was Bismark, the German chancellor, who called for this meeting to deliberate on the process of colonising Africa and avoid any war among the "Enlightened" nations.
It is interesting that provincial understanding of people of world history make them believe that the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand was the cause of WWI. However, it was Germany's insistence on getting more and more share in colonial loot that brought the European powers to fight each other.

The further one digs into today's "blockbuster" jobs report, the uglier it gets. Because it is not only the participation rate collapse, the slide in average earnings, but, topping it all off, we just learned that the future of the US workforce is bleak. In fact, with the age of the median employed male now in their mid-40's, the US workforce has never been older. Case in point: the September data confimed that the whopping surge in jobs... was thanks to your "grandparents" those in the 55-69 age group, which comprised the vast majority of the job additions in the month, at a whopping 230K.This was the biggest monthly jobs increase in the 55 and over age group since February!
What about the prime worker demographic, those aged 25-54 and whose work output is supposed to propel the US economy forward? They lost 10,000 jobs.
Of course, don't expect any of this to be mentioned on any financial entertainment outlets: it would spoil the party of today's "surging" jobs day.
Then again in retospect, it has never been a stronger labor market. Well, if you are 55 and over that is, the age group that just hit a record 32.6 million in jobs.
Some addition detail:
Here is the breakdown of job gains by all age groups since the start of the depression in December 2007: 5.5 million jobs "gained" in the 55-69 age group. What about the core, 25-54 demographic? Negative 2.04 million.
In fact, looked at differently, it continues to be a story of two labor forces - those aged 55 and older, and everyone else.
And finally, putting it all in context, here is the reason for the drop in the labor force participation rate. Apparently someone forgot to tell those 55 and older they are retiring in droves.

Will Reg BI prove a bonanza for fee-based accounts?
Show more sharing options
Share Show more sharing options
WASHINGTON — The SEC's Regulation Best Interest could tilt the playing field in favor of fee-based advisory accounts when the rule becomes the law of the land later this year.
That's the warning bell some industry insiders are sounding, positing that the terms dual registrants will be required by the SEC to lay out in a relationship summary document will persuade many clients that a fee-only account would deliver superior service over a conventional brokerage option.
"I think it's going to be more difficult for an advisor to sell a commission-based account, especially when a client has a dual registrant's Form CRS in front of them," Rob Molinari, chief regulatory affairs officer at Commonwealth Financial Network, said during a panel discussion at a recent conference that FINRA hosted on Reg BI.
"I think the Form CRS — probably not intended to be used this way — but I think it's going to be one of the bigger advisory account salesmen in the industry," Molinari said.
The SEC explains that the two-track approach in its advice regulation for advisors and brokers comes from a recognition that the two business models are distinct, and that the tailored rules aim to preserve both options for investors. Critics of the rule have countered that Reg BI will still permit brokers to operate with serious conflicts that could incentivize recommendations that put the rep's or the firm's interests ahead of the client's.
But Molinari and others see rule — and the rising public awareness of the advisor fiduciary standard — as favoring the advisory side of a dual practice.
"It's a strong incentive, I think, to recommend a fee-based account," said Mark Cresap, president of Cresap, a dually registered broker and RIA based in Radnor, Pennsivlania.
As an example, he cites the language in Reg BI concerning account monitoring, which essentially forces brokers to commit to a prescribed monitoring program, or to expressly state that they will not monitor accounts in the relationship summary.
"If you commit to a duty to monitor, that means you have to establish a schedule of meetings with clients, and if you don't meet that schedule, you're deficient," Cresap said. "This I think is going to cause reps to rethink commission-based accounts very seriously because of the duties that it imposes or the duties that they're sort of going to have to disavow without impairing the relationship with the client. It's going to be tough."
At Commonwealth, Molinari said that the firm's CRS forms will be "quite clear" that commission-based accounts do not include monitoring services, which could be a factor for clients that weighs in favor of choosing a full-service advisory account.
More fundamentally, Molinari said he expects that clients will look at the basic terminology that dual registrants will include in their CRS forms and conclude that an advisory account is the better bet.

"[E]ven if it's in their best interest to go on a commission-based account, they're going to see the standard of care comparison, where one's Reg BI and they're not sure what that means, and the other one's a fiduciary standard and they've heard that in the industry and on the news, and in their mind, that's what they want," he said.
SEC officials insist that the intention of the rule is not to regulate commission-based accounts of business. On the contrary, they have argued that the rule creates a tailored regulatory framework that accommodates the traditional brokerage model but with an added emphasis on disclosure and mitigation of conflicts.
In the run-up to the rule taking effect June 30, regulators are calling on firms to focus on compliance and employee training. Once the rule is in forcet, officials have said, SEC and FINRA examiners will initially expect to see that the firms they visit are making good-faith efforts to comply with the rule, insisting that the commission is not angling to become a "gotcha" regulator.
For all those assurances, however, Reg BI exams and enforcement efforts remain a source of anxiety for some of the firms that will be subject to the rule.
"We all have these concerns, but the thing that we don't know is how Reg BI is going to be enforced," Cresap said. "If regulators come in guns blazing, it's going to be very difficult to maintain, I think, the transaction and commission-based model. So a lot of this depends on what is now unknowable, which is how are regulators going to approach this in the examination process."

Now that is a project I can get behind.
I love all things cozy.
Naturally, I was going to make something for myself, but that didn't end up happening. I've been in the fray of Christmas present making and didn't feel like I should stop to make something for myself.
I showed Logan a pin on Pinterest where some fantastically creative Martha Stewart kinda mom transformed her kid's bedroom closet into a cozy little book nook. Ever since then, Logan has been bugging me and bugging me to get something together for him.
His room is quite small, but he never really uses his closet for much, so it was the perfect idea to create another play space for him in there.
In order to make this cozy space, we first found an awesome Mario bed sheet at the thrift store to use as a curtain. I measured and sewed a simple line across the top and threaded a curtain rod through it. Terry hung a curtain rod from the top of the closet.
For the inside, to make it extra cozy and fun we bought 3 of those stickable dot lights that we placed around the inside. Logan can turn them off and on easily and adjust the amount of light he wants.
We added a pillow and the rag rug that I crafted for Logan last year for comfort on the wooden floor.
Kind of a quick craft this week, but one that Logan really loves and is super cozy!
I wonder what he's up to in there? I went upstairs to check one day and found him reading a comic book. Awwww.... adorable.

Miami: The largest gathering of elected US state officials took place in Miami Beach last week, with US Mayors reaffirming their commitment to the Paris Agreement and bold climate targets.
The United States Conference of Mayors' 85th Annual Meeting was held from June 23-26 and a statement was released in the build-up confirming opposition to President Trump's decision to withdraw the US from the Paris accord. The statement also reiterated their ambitious plans on energy efficiency measures.
In two consecutive years, city lighting and light emitting diode (LED) systems have been ranked as the number one energy efficiency priority action for US cities. Mayors have repeated their support for efficient lighting upgrades and cities across the US are showing leadership in promoting renewable electricity, low carbon transportation, and energy efficiency, according to the preliminary results of the 2017 survey.
At the conference, Mayors from more than 250 municipalities unanimously backed a resolution to achieve an ambitious goal of powering cities using 100% renewable energy by 2035. The Mayors stated that municipalities have been at the forefront of climate action, and the recent announcements from the White House have made cities and their citizens more determined to address climate change.
The Mayors adopted a resolution to support a cities-driven plan to reverse climate change, which included a commitment to supporting energy efficiency block grants. One of the major barriers to the adoption of LED streetlighting by cities can be the high up-front costs; therefore having access to suitable energy efficiency grants could significantly reduce this obstacle.
Street lighting can account for up to 40% of a cities electricity bill, therefore Mayors are keen to take advantage of the 50-70% energy savings; but they are also aware of the wider socio-economic benefits. These include; the upgrading of ageing city infrastructure, boosting the nighttime economy, and looking towards future Smart City opportunities.
Representatives from The Climate Group's LED Scale-Up partner Philips Lighting presented at the conference on the topics of 'Imagining Future Cities Today', including connected lighting and new Smart City services. LED streetlights can be a key element as the underlying infrastructure for the trialing and adoption of Smart City initiatives.
Incorporating city lighting with a Centralized Management System (CMS) can play a key role in asset management and controlling and monitoring streetlights remotely. Smart controls can also be installed to ensure streetlights are used optimally, such as dimming when no cars or pedestrians are present and adjusting operating hours if natural light levels are sufficient.
As well as ensuring smarter lighting system for cities, connected lighting can support numerous other services to enable cities to gather a vast array of information to help them become more efficient. For example, sensors can monitor weather conditions, air quality, and pedestrian and road traffic.
With the current uncertainty in the US around national energy and climate policy, it is clear that city Mayors are determined to deliver economy-boosting energy efficient infrastructure improvements and they will work to ensure that climate change commitments are met.

There have been some murmurs going 'round the interconnected web-like network of worldwide computers that Steve Jobs looked a little too skinny on Monday, and that he might be sick. Apple spokespeople have now said that Jobs had been a little ill with a "common bug" over the past few weeks but that he was on antibiotics and didn't want to miss the WWDC conference.
Sure, he looks a little thin in the photo on the left (taken by the Associated Press), but he's wearing a black turtleneck that's seven sizes too big for him (no time to shop) and he's pretty lanky to begin with.
What a double standard! Everyone wants tech guys to look all svelte and nerdly, but then once we finally get in shape (which almost never happens), we get accused of being too skinny. Where does it end? It's just like Hollywood but with more typing!
On a serious note, let's not forget that Jobs was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer back in 2004, but had the tumor successfully removed that same year. He's fine. If he contracted some sort of bug, he's probably been going number three all day, every day for the past week, if you catch my drift. That'll cause some definite weight loss.

As quickly as Thanos killed them, his granddaughter Nebula resurrects half the universe using the power of the stolen gauntlet. But she's not as skilled with it, and Warlock is able to force her to drop it. So, naturally, everyone leaps for it. What a great panel.
And Warlock comes out of the pile sporting the one-glove look long before Michael Jackson thought of it.
And in the end, Thanos retires to become a farmer. And Warlock lets him! Very strange ending. Even the typically wise-ass Pip is shocked. But then, Adam Warlock always was a strange dude with a unique sense of right and wrong.
And so ends the famous Infinity Gauntlet series, one of the best Thanos stories ever and some of Jim Starlin's greatest work.

2 Accused of Stealing From Deli in Patterson on July 4

Police have arrested a man for allegedly selling stimulants and marijuana, and carrying a concealed firearm.
Yasushi Toriyama, 47, an unemployed resident in Tokyo's Edogawa Ward, was arrested on suspicion of violating the Stimulants Control Law, the Cannabis Control Law and the Firearm Control Law, police said. Toriyama reportedly had business cards giving his title as "supreme advisor" of a yakuza group based in Kyushu, and police are currently investigating his background.
Toriyama is suspected of possessing 145 grams of stimulants, 275 grams of marijuana, a U.S.-made revolver and 10 live bullets in his apartment on Nov. 23. Toriyama reportedly admitted to the allegations, saying that those items belonged to him and the drugs were intended for sale. He has not revealed how he obtained them.
According to investigative sources, Toriyama's apartment is located in a residential district near Shinozaki Station on the Toei Shinjuku subway line, and individuals believed to his customers were frequently spotted visiting the apartment during stakeouts.

I've learned all my life that it is not polite to brag. Not polite at all. But….BUT…sometimes, like now, I just can't help myself. This is so super stinking cool, I just had to share it.

As I am in the nitty gritty of preparing for Cognizant Reconstructions Open Heart retreat in Folsom, I came across an entry in my Journals from March of 2017 when my journey towards this dream and circumstance scratched it way to the surface. And now look at me, still believing it will all come to fruition. And as I should be doing what seems more important, I have yet another ah-ha moment. Like we do when we keep moving forward and embrace the past at times to be aware of how far we have come.
As I wasn't aware at the time that my soul was searching to find it's way to the surface, I read this now, looking for the information that will connect the dots for the workshops in this retreat. And on some pages of my many filled journals, I found something.
A trip to Orlando Florida to see my daughter play her pre season games of College Softball. I hadn't seen her but for the holidays since she started College. In a weeks time, I watched her and her team play 12 softball games and was able to spend a few hours of quality time getting to know the families and folk that have been her influences as of late.
I had 1 day after the team left to myself after the team left town, and I had been wondering where I would go to achieve my love the local life desire.
This is what I found.
Journal Entry:
Celebration Florida, March 12, 2017
A lesson in Judgement. I have enjoyed my time hear in Orlando Florida but so far with a closed mind. I don't like the drinking water, I don't like the tourists, I din't like the fact there was nothing un "touristy" or local. Where do locals go to be away from Disney? From Tourists? I thought it all bizarre. But here I am, 1 mile from Disney Central in a whole other world. I happened upon this little neighborhood while in search of a perfect Cuban sandwich after finding out my favorite shop where I used to get it, was gone….closed….torn down and outlet stores put up where I used to drink house made Sangria from a plastic cup and the best Cuban sandwich I had ever had. I asked the host I was staying with and he had some great suggestions for all my other food adventures, but the Cuban was a mystery. I found a Spanish Restaurant named Columbia that touted the best Cuban….go figure. I did indeed love the cuban and got some take home Sangria, a very nice start. The Columbia was tucked away in a little neighborhood not far away from the home I am staying in. So as it happens in my life. Luck.
I was so excited after leaving Champions Gate last night. It was beginning of my alone time. After 9 days consumed with Softball and the team, I can sit quietly and spend quality time with myself which I am feeling more and more necessary for my sanity. I have just this day and wasn't sure if I could find the elusive local coffee shop in a sea of Starbucks and Duncan Donuts buried in the $1.99 Florida and Disney T-shirt shops. So this morning my plan was to visit the neighborhood around the Columbia. I was pleasantly surprised to find not only a great coffee shop, but a farmers market! Every sunday from 9-3, year round, how awesome is that. I found a collection of retirees that widdle wood, and quilt makers and young bakers and talented artists. Shortly after I parked I sat by the little lake that the town surrounds. I was making a plan: would it be eat, coffee, dessert, market? or market, coffee, dessert, eat….
I watched 2 young boys with a net, 2 fishing rods and a 5 gallon bucket a 2 big smiles on their faces. They were wandering the edges of the lake, tossing the net in, pulling it out, collecting tiny fish, tossing them in the bucket. This must be the bait bucket. Calm, collected, in no hurry at all in the collection process. Maybe a little anxious to get to the bridge where the actual fishing ritual takes place. I immediately felt the relaxation of the acts and thought to myself that I didn't want to miss out on the actions of true childhood ever again. I've been conditioned to believe that theses moments within myself had been wiped clean like a piece of slate at the end of the school day. It was reminiscent of Huckleberry Finn. Right here, I block form tourist hell. Then around me the casual greetings of the locals "Well, good morning Sharon, lookin' good, what are your plans today, Tennis?" "Are you getting Mikes strawberries today?" Sharon, on her Jazzy scooter with rackets aboard, heading toward the courts. A book exchange, chemical free insect repellant, least we forget the Zeka virus nearby. The pace is slow and casual and the banter matches it perfectly. Even the tourists are sucked into it. MAJOR slow down, even with the sound of HWY 192 in the background. For the 1st time in years, my mind is in tune with my soul and my body. Comfortable. Tomorrow I arise early and return home, return to work, to my livelihood and motherhood. Many of the things that make me who I am. Today, I revel in the peach and joy of part of me I want to return too, the one I will add back into the equation.
End of Entry.
Well, there it is, the moment I didn't see at the time, but I felt it. I returned home and I acted on it. Within a week of returning, I announced to my spouse my desire to grow and to do it alone. I hit the trail, and since then? I've been moving, jumping, failing, falling, running, meditating and exercising better practices of communication and dedication to those around me as well as myself. And the best part of all of this? The practice. Every day since, I practice. I am truly trusting the work. I love where I am going, no matter the jagged shaky foundation that is just now beginning to shore up. No matter the things still unresolved, the question as to how this retreat will actually occur, I am here….moving forward. Damn. Being Cognizant, beginning the reconstruction. My seed of Cognizant Reconstruction… wow.
Now I'm in a place where I have to follow through with the 1st big step in my business. No more resources except to keep reaching out to find the people that want to join me. I was then as I am now, ready to keep meeting myself with an open heart.
So much love and acceptance to you today, and for me, this journey and the wish to all to love yourself,

I think the main message is to be careful to keep your beneficiaries up to date especially after any changes.But this can be trickier and more subtle than one might imagine. The company I retired from provides term life insurance for its retirees. They were acquired by another company two years ago.I just received notice that now that acquired company has been integrated into acquiring company, I need to enter my beneficiaries in their records. It was not automatic.I think this is lawyers taking no chances, keeping one set of records rather than transferring old data that may be out of date, etc., plus a reminder to bring those records up to date.But it is yet another detail of subtleties that can make your records obsolete.
