If I'm lucky enough to live to be a senior citizen, I hope to god I'm half as cool as the grandmas of Lake Helen, Florida. Scratch that, I'd like to be half as cool as the grandmas of Lake Helen right now! Talk about spunk. Talk about loyalty. Talk about determination.
Talk about some hot legs!
See, many of these grannies are married to (or are widows of) veterans. For years, they've been doing their best to maintain the vets' local hangout, American Legion Post 127. But major repairs needed to be made, and, the economy being what it is, the grandmas' usual fundraising methods (bake sales, etc.) just weren't cutting it.
So they decided to do something a little drastic. Something a little ... risque ...
They decided to get naked! (What better way to raise money?) Yes, the grannies took it all off for the cameras to make the 2012 Ladies of 32744 Calendar (32744 is the zip code for Lake Helen), which instantly became a local bestseller. Put it this way: American Legion Post 127 should be back in business before long!
The calendar girls range in age from 44 to 87; one woman even posed in her wheelchair. And in case you were wondering, all of the shots make use of strategically placed props (no potential scarring of the grandkids to worry about here).
To me, this story is just one more example of the endless devotion and dedication of military wives. It's been decades since their husbands were in active service. Still, it's so important to these women to preserve and honor their legacy that they went so far as to strip naked for a calendar. All so their men can continue to have pancake breakfasts at the American Legion.
And to give them the chance to say, "This is my wife, Miss July."
Do you think the Ladies of 32744 are the coolest grandmas around?

The Benghazi survivors are still being hidden by the administration. The State Department has not answered a letter from two House Republicans asking to speak with the survivors. Rep. Frank R. Wolf of Virginia, co-wrote the March 1 letter to Mr. Kerry with Rep. Jim Gerlach of Pennsylvania.
There are as many as seven survivors in Walter Reed Hospital. Secretary of State John Kerry visited them in secret on Friday, still ignoring the letter from Republicans.
Some Republican strategists want to drop Benghazi according to HuffPo. One has to wonder if the strategists have a soul.
The left-wing media – CNN, HuffPo, Daily Kos, NPR, the AtlanticWire, MotherJones, Slate, et cetera – are ripping into the GOP and pretending their efforts are nothing more than political theatre. Meanwhile Obama is getting away with covering up the deaths of four Americans.
The GOP received some of the Benghazi emails on Friday, which will possibly remain confidential. The left-wing claims the emails will silence Republicans who never had a case to begin with.
Sean Smith's mother was interviewed on the radio by Sean Hannity on Friday. She still hasn't been given answers and believes they want her to shut up.
She relived the ceremony at Andrews Air Force base when her son's body was returned with the other three murdered Americans. She said that when Obama hugged her at Andrews Air Force base, he was petting her on the back and looking around for whom he should talk to next. Hillary paid little attention to her and walked off. Panetta told her to trust him and that he would get back to her, which he never did.

Moving Day. San Diego for 9 nights. John is getting everything ready – car on dolly, bikes and motorcycle on dolly, swimming stuff, grill, shoes underneath, beds put away and slides in. I am going to get in the hot tub one last time, then get clean with the girls.
Yesterday we hung out at the pool and RV, except for a trip to Winco for me. I needed to stock up on granola bars for Anne. I love Winco.
Square did well yesterday, up to $14.87 from a purchase price of $9 for us. We ended up with 213 shares. The IPO only allowed about $1920 in purchases. We still have $580 in the Loyal3 account to buy more. It's still in the $13 price range, so I'm going to wait to see if it dips.
John is outside talking to another resort guest, probably about the tow dolly. Guys love that thing. It's called a tandem dolly. It has a place for a motorcycle in front of the car.
I need to poop, so I need to go to the campground bathroom. No, I don't like the idea of pooping in the RV and I'm capable of walking to the bathroom. Kids can poop in the RV. Everyone seems to handle it differently. But I pretty much sleep over the black tank, and I don't like the idea of John emptying the black tank with my poop in it. Like he's cleaning up after me.
After getting situated at the RV park, we took the kids and a bottle of wine to Mt. Soledad for the sunset. It is exactly the same, other than the construction on the steps is finally done. It was weird to look at pictures afterward of kids playing in the same small grassy area where we were married, where my dad walked with me, where our friends and family came together. A few of them are gone now.
Then we drove through OB for the fun of it. I hope we get to go to Saporro. And the beach.

Even though it's located in the middle of the city, Darwin's Crocosaurus Cove lets you feel like you've wandered out into the Top End of Northern Australia's wilderness, where turtles, saltwater crocodiles, and barramundi fish reside in their natural habitat. You can visit the sanctuary full of yellow-faced turtles or observe the fish swimming around in the aquarium, where you can also catch a glimpse of a whipray—the freshwater cousin of stingrays. Throughout the day there are staff-led talks and chances to view trainer-led crocodile feedings.
While Viator tours do not include these activities, visitors have the opportunity to observe crocodiles from an underwater glass enclosure or to hold a baby crocodile under careful staff supervision for an additional fee starting from $120.
Crocosaurus Cove is located just outside of Darwin city center, close to Bicentennial Park. You can get there via the Stuart Highway, or walking from most downtown attractions and the Darwin bus station. The cove is open every day from 9am to 6pm, and admission costs $35 for adults, and $23 for children agres four to 15. Additional activities must be booked well in advance. There are showers and changing rooms inside the facility.
Did You Know? Saltwater crocodiles are the world's largest reptiles, and can grow up to 18 feet (5.5 m) long.

A very recent creation. A strong symbol representing another one of my most sacred of concepts – made manifest through another rhyming narrative, akin to past experiments. It is a testament to a very important part of myself, my general attitude, as well as the character I am forced to play every single day; the character I have been pushed to become; the character which I, for good or ill, have eventually chosen to become.
They did not try to make me – so they will never break me.
Clasped in iron, armed with guilt,
Strong firm hands upon the hilt,
A tired gaze through searing steel,
A spirit desperate to reveal
True and savage strikes so cold
Bound by the promise of gold,
Forged in war's towering flood,
Reborn and then baptised in blood –
He stood before the New Order,
Armed with naught but tools of murder.
Defeated, falling on his knee:
"Your Reverence, I beg of thee –
Spare this one, honour me with
The mercy I could never give
And I shall break the very earth,
To succeed and prove my worth
And I shall tear mountains asunder,
To shower you with spoils and plunder
And I shall be thy blade, thy shield,
'Till the day my fate is sealed."
The Lady spoke in dulcet tones –
"Arise, Champion, Breaker of Bones!
Rise and greet the breaking dawn
And serve my rule with guile and brawn!
But one thing I ask of thee –
Reveal thyself so I could see;
Remove thy wicked rusted plates,
So I could see my Champion's face."
And terror rose instead of man
And bound by oath, he never ran.
With a proud and righteous smirk
Deep within the helmet's murk –
"Thy will be done." – he quietly said
And grasped at the helmet on his head.
As iron fell from shaking hands,
Man poured into shifting sands.
And armour fell with clink and thunder
As the man was there no longer.
And that is why the strong do hide
And leave all their frailty behind,
For when the man becomes the mask,
He is naught but empty husk;
And when the mask does crack and crumble,
When the man does trip and fumble,
He leaves naught but traces of dust
And takes all his secrets to the dusk.

All of these items are added in amounts to taste; if you like lots of bacon and onions, then cook a whole onion and 1/2 lb. of bacon. Do more or less according to your taste.
Fry diced bacon until crisp. Remove bacon from pan, then add chopped onions and fry in bacon grease until tender. Pour in vinegar (white or cider) to taste (again, a lot of vinegar if you like sour stuff, or very little for less flavor). Bring to a boil, and add bacon, stir mixture together. Then pour over cooked green beans, and stir again.
I hope you like it!

Jenny Marra MSP : Scottish Civil Justice Council and Criminal Legal Assistance Bill Stage 1 (Speech in the Scottish Parliament )
26 October 2012
As we have heard this afternoon, the principles that underlie the bill are broadly agreed across the chamber.
However, in Labour's view, the bill would be strengthened if certain points were taken on board by the Scottish Government.
I want to address the issue of civil justice policy in part 1 of the bill—I have already raised the issue in interventions.
The bill mandates the council to recommend changes in civil justice policy to the Lord President, but no similar obligation exists to recommend the changes to ministers.
It is our belief that policy is the preserve of the democratically accountable Government and Parliament, and should not be weakened by placing a policy obligation on an unelected body.
That is a concern that is shared by some of the most eminent public law professors in Scotland.
Governments are accountable to the electorate for their policy choices and, through the parliamentary system, MSPs and stakeholders should have every opportunity to scrutinise those decisions.
When I questioned the Lord President in the Justice Committee on the policy scope, he assured me categorically that the policy remit would merely be the policy of the rules and would not extend beyond that.
I ask the cabinet secretary, therefore, to address the issue in his closing remarks.
Would it not be better to include in the bill a much clearer explanation of the extent of the policy remit in order to avoid any creep into the jurisdiction of ministers and the Parliament, as has been discussed this afternoon?
A second concern with part 1 relates to the request by several organisations for transparency in the council"s functioning.
I have heard persuasive arguments from those representing court users for greater transparency when court rules or civil justice procedures are being reviewed.
They state that the publication of potential changes or an obligation to consult would be valuable to their work.
I would be interested to hear the minister"s opinion of those suggestions.
Another concern with part 1 that has been well rehearsed today concerns the composition of the council.
We have heard many arguments that special committees will allow for more specialist representation, but I think that Malcolm Chisholm summed it up well when he said that it is quite possible that only two laypeople will be on the council.
If there is a feeling across the chamber that we should increase that representation, it is important to put that in the bill so that we can ensure that it can happen.
I was reminded by Mary Fee"s speech of a debate that we have had in this chamber regarding gender balance.
As Labour has said in Parliament before, 80 per cent of people on Scottish public bodies are male, and I understand that the composition of the current council is one female and 12 males.
I would be interested in the cabinet secretary"s response in looking for a better gender balance—perhaps the 40:40:20 model that Labour has recommended in the chamber before.
We know the impact of our justice system on women and of, as Baroness Helena Kennedy has often eloquently put it, the inherent bias against women in our justice system.
Turning to part 2, I will reiterate some of the concerns with the proposed level of contributions. The Government has chosen a lower limit of £68 because that is the weekly equivalent of the civil legal aid amount.
It has sought justification for that in the fact that it is higher than the level in England and Wales.
However, I have heard persuasive arguments to suggest that that method of calculation is flawed and that the level may be too low.
The first rests on the fact that contributions for legal aid in England and Wales exist only for Crown Court cases, which account for a much lower proportion of cases than the bill provides for.
The second is based on the differences between civil and criminal cases.
Similarly, there are differences between the eligibility criteria for civil legal aid and the proposed undue hardship test, and the rate for civil legal aid contributions has not increased.
Kenny MacAskill: Is the member aware that the magistrates court in England operates an in-or-out system in which there is no contribution?
In that system, anyone with an annual disposable income of more than £3,398, which is just over £65 a week, fails the means test and does not get legal aid at all—not even with a contribution.
Is the Scottish system not much better? Is she arguing that those who receive civil legal aid should have a harsher commitment to make than those involved in criminal cases?
Jenny Marra: I am arguing that we need to take a much harder look at the comparisons that have been made, which the Government has put before us, and drill down to the detail. If the Government is going to use the situation in England and Wales as justification, we must ensure that we are comparing like with like.
We must consider contributions alongside the chaotic lifestyles of many people who enter the criminal justice system—that point was well made by Graeme Pearson in the Justice Committee.
Many organisations in Scotland have argued that people simply will not be able to afford to contribute at such a low threshold, which, as the Law Society has stated, could lead to a perverse incentive for the accused to plead guilty.
If one of the core aims of the bill is to eradicate perverse incentives, I ask the minister to provide answers to why the Government remains content with such a low threshold.
I welcome the Government"s decision to stop considering disability living allowance as disposable income. However, I also ask it to consider doing the same with the war pensions, which have been mentioned this afternoon. Currently, the bill considers veterans" war pensions as disposable income, and veterans would welcome that consideration being taken out.
Kenny MacAskill: Let me make it clear that war pensions are currently discounted in the assessment for ABWOR. The criteria for assessing disposable income will be set out in draft regulations. Given that we are seeking to mirror what is done in ABWOR in many instances, the position of war pensions will be considered. Considering the sympathetic view that we have taken with regard to ABWOR, the member could read into that the sympathetic view that we are likely to take.
Jenny Marra: I welcome the cabinet secretary"s indication that he will take a sympathetic view on that. The fact that we are seeking to mirror the arrangements for ABWOR is not a good enough reason, however. We must use the bill to ensure that we get it right for war veterans.
A second concern with part 2 is the Government"s decision not to reimburse acquitted persons for their legal aid contributions. I have heard justification for that from the cabinet secretary, who argued that those who pay their legal fees privately are not reimbursed either. However, several organisations question the fairness and practicality of this approach.
Annabelle Ewing: Will the member take an intervention?
The Deputy Presiding Officer (John Scott): The member is in her final minute.
Jenny Marra: I am sorry, but I do not have time.
Malcolm Chisholm proposed the very practical solution of a refund for acquittals that have been funded by legal aid contributions, and perhaps that could be considered by the cabinet secretary.
Presiding Officer, I believe that I am out of time, so I will close my summing up there.

Berhampur (Orissa): A large cache of
firearms and kitbags belonging to Maoists were seized by
security personnel from a camp inside dense forests in Ganjam
and Kandhamal districts of Orissa on Friday, police said.
The seizures were made near Kerubadi during a joint
combing operation by the state police, CRPF and Cobra
personnel suspecting a Maoist hideout in the area, they
"We have no information regarding casualty from the
Maoist side. Our men are safe," Inspector General (operation)
Y B Khurania said.
Heavy exchange of fire took place between security
personnel and red rebels in which some ultras were believed
to have been injured, DIG, southern range, R K Sharma said.
"Since the ultras fled the area by the time security
personnel reached, we have no information about the injured
rebels. But we suspect that some of them have been seriously
injured in the encounter", Sharam said.
About 50 rebels were suspected to have stayed in the
camp during the operation, he said.
Sharma was coordinating the anti-Maoist operation in
the area. Over 200 security personnel, SP, Ganjam, Rajesh
Pandit and SP, Kandhamal, J N Pankaj had also joined the
joint-combing operation.
Joint combing operation was conducted in the area
following reports of infllux of top Maoist leaders including
cadre from Andhra Pradesh and Chhatisgarh for a bigger
offensive in the area, Sharma said.

Receptance-Based Partial Pole Assignment for Asymmetric Systems Using State-Feedback
1Institute of Sound and Vibration Research, University of Southampton, Highfield, Southampton, UK

Many structures or machines interact with some internal nonconservative forces and present asymmetric systems in which the stiffness and damping matrices are asymmetric. Examples include friction-induced vibration and aeroelastic flutter. Asymmetric systems are prone to flutter instability as a result of the real parts of some poles becoming positive when certain system parameters vary.
This paper presents a receptance-based inverse method for assigning a number of complex poles of second-order damped asymmetric systems while keeping other unassigned poles unchanged. It uses state-feedback (active damping and active stiffness) to shift the poles to desired locations where all poles have negative real parts. Receptances at only a small, limited number of degrees-of-freedom of the underlying symmetric system are required. Simulated numerical examples indicate that this is an effective method and is capable of assigning negative real parts to unstable poles to stabilise an otherwise unstable second-order dynamic system.

BioWare showed Mass Effect Andromeda at Game Awards 2016 with a brand new gameplay, something that has really thrilled the fans. Now, everyone wants more information about this game and Mass Effect Andromeda director, Mac Walters, decided to meet this request.
During a recent interview with Gamespot, Walters ensured that the team will keep working on the game until its release. After that, he talked about the future of the franchise.
For what concerns the gameplay of Mass Effect Andromeda, Walters said that BioWare took inspiration from Destiny's mechanics, combat system, camera, character designs and controls. These elements were crucial during the development phase.
Then, the director claimed that this game will be based on exploration, as BioWare wants the player to feel as much free as possible. From the way of moving to choices and stuff like that.
There will be multiple planets to explore, each one with its own background story and habits. In this sense, there will be a lot of crafting and it will be the player to choose whether to complete side-quest missions or not.
BioWare is really putting a lot of effort into Mass Effect Andromeda and, even if it's not that easy to work on next-gen consoles, they are focused on finishing what they've started.
If you want to see more from this game, you can take a look at the gameplay showed at Game Awards, available below.
Mass Effect Andromed is scheduled to release in 2017 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.

You need to assess your family situation and how your child learns. Some good questions to think about are:
• What kind of a teacher are you?
• Is your child a self-motivator?
• Is your child a visual learner?
• Is your child an avid reader?
• Is your child a computer enthusiast?
*All of these considerations, and more, will help direct you in the right direction. Try going to a home schoolingcurriculum convention and gather advice from the representatives from the different companies there.

Officially Late
Period is officially late today. I've continued to test positive, and the lines are getting a little darker every day. So far so good. We haven't told our families yet, and I need to get in touch with a local midwife to see if she can see me. I think we are both really interested in having this baby at home if at all possible.

To celebrate our 15 wedding anniversary Jake and I got tickets to round 2 and 3 of March Madness in Portland. Thursday March 19th, I dropped the older kids off at school, did my tempo run at the park and then took Dantley to preschool. After that Jake and I headed to Portland for the four Thursday games. We watched Arizona vs. TX Southern (Arizona won by a long ways), Ohio St vs VCU(Ohio St. won in overtime), Utah vs. Stephen F. Austin (Utah won) and Georgetown vs. Eastern WA.
Tne next morning after dropping the kids off at school and Dantley off with Meagan, Jake and I went shopping for new work clothes for him. We also went to a running store and had our stride analized to see if we were training in the right types of shoes. That night we went to eat at Jake's Famous Crawfish in Portland.
Saturday we slept in a bit and then went to the gym -- I had to do a speed workout and Jake ran 3 miles. We checked out around noon and got lunch then went to a grocery store to get snacks for the nights basketball games. AZ vs Ohio State was a really fun game to watch with some amazing passing, then Utah vs. Georgetown which was also a great game -- Utah won.
Thurston and Tasha rode the bus home with the Allen kids and joined Dantley who was already at Harris' house playing. They all stayed the night and next day there. Thurston had baseball games on Saturday. We were planning on just having him miss, but his coach wanted him there and his wife drove out to the Allen's to pick him up. Saturday night we picked Tamsyn up and Tasha texted us saying they were at the house. Cory wasn't sure if he was supposed to drop them off or wait for us to come get them, so he drove them over. Luckily we were there a few minutes later so they didn't have to wait long, because I hadn't left keys or any doors unlocked. They had a great time and we are so thankful that so many people helped out with the kids so Jake and I could have our close proximity get away.

RID Titan Heroes Drift and Grimlock Revealed
Via Kmart's website we have stock photos of some previously-unannounced Robots in Disguise – twelve inch Titan Heroes figures for Drift and Grimlock.
Whilst Titan Heroes are perhaps not the product of choice for many adult fans, their size and simplicity make them a perfect toy for littler fans who'd enjoy a toy of their favourite cartoon characters.
Drift's listing can be found here, and Grimlock's here. The figures are currently not listed as in stock.
To discuss these figures, head over to the Allspark Forums!
Callum somehow managed to avoid Transformers during his actual childhood, but then the live-action films piqued his interest, Animated suckered him in, and IDW's comics made sure he stuck around.

text: Ok, I've loved Launcher Pro (free) for a few months on my Droid1. Just got the Froyo update this morning, and I'm trying to figure out why I need Launcher Pro any more. I realize Launcher Pro has 4 dock icons vs. Froyo's 2. I never used the scrollable dock in LP, and I realize the 2 in Froyo aren't user selectable. I had 5 screens in LP and now get 5 screens in Froyo. I liked the swipe up option in LP's dock icons but could live without it. I also liked the fact that LP put more icons on the home screen, and gave me the ability to delete the titles beneath the icons. But other than those things, is there really a reason to use Launcher Pro, given that it could be lagging the phone?

Maybe I am doing it wrong, or it is too early to book or is it sold out? I am looking at the fast train from Basel to Milan on July 4th, 2017. Specifically, @8:05 AM from Spiez to Milano Central.
Hi elbarcosr1,
The train is not booked out, but some websites may not offer it yet as the travel date is more than 3 months ahead. Websites selling tickets can be found on myswissalps.com/traint ickets/italy/price. As you live in the US I tried the US website www.raileurope.com/eur opean-trains/trenitalia/how-to-book.html and had no problem finding tickets from Basel and Spiez to Milan. The site www.trainline.eu does not sell them yet but I'm sure they will later.
Will you have a rail pass for Switzerland, like the Swiss Travel Pass? If so, you only need a ticket for the Italian leg: Domodossola to Milan.
Thank you for the reply. I was only looking at Trenitalia and SBB. They both let me book the later train that day, but not the morning train for some reason. Our passes will have expired on July 3rd, which is why I am searching for the discount fares now. I guess I will book the 2 pm train and we can sleep in. Taking the 8 am train wasn't going to be a hit with my traveling companions anyway. Thanks again.

Sorry, I haven't been able to respond to any of the great, hot conversation happening below. I've been busy reciting the alphabet. And working on my research proposal. And my presentation for the JALT conference in a couple of weeks.
Now, we are traveling across Japan to see Yoko's brother and his partner, both photo'd below. Yoko's family is the best. All of them. Couldn't ask for better in-laws and I am wicked excited about seeing the family again. A couple of scheduled posts should come up and I will hopefully be able to fill you in once we get there. Please, stay calm.

|Beautiful. Show us more eye candy, please. Mine are starting to wake up, but I'm not ready for them to do that yet. I don't have enough light for them to grow well indoors. It's amazing that they can sense small amounts of increasing light. I have 2 that overwinter on my unused fireplace hearth. They get no supplemental light other than the lights we use during the evenings in the den, and near the end of each winter (I can't convince them that February is still winter), they start sending forth new leaves. The house temps remain the same, 70-72 degrees. I have got to find a way to convince DH that I need a greenhouse for my plants.
Feb 24, 2015 12:56 PM CST
|Very nice!!
Feb 24, 2015 8:49 PM CST
|Those are gorgeous, Melissa. So nice to have blooms this time of year. Is the 'Oriole' one of Rinoa's or is it one of your own babies? The name sounds familiar is all.

|Love the dark one and the yellow!! Still trying to nurse mine through the winter. Have been giving them just a bit of water lately because the bases are getting a little soft ... please hurry up Spring!!!
I hate losing plants....I know they are "just plants" but when you nurse them along and baby them and get them to grow, bloom, and be pretty and they die....it's like losing a friend.....
Feb 25, 2015 7:02 AM CST
|I love the purple one Melissa. No flowers on mine right now, I am trying to figure what to do with my LARGE plant, it is so heavy I can hardly lift it.This picture was taken last summer, it is much larger now.
Feb 25, 2015 9:10 AM CST
|Doris, is it possible to give it a permanent place in your sunroom? Does it have windows that you can open once in a while to give it some fresh air? Or, can any of your grandkids (pardon my assuming that you have some ) move it in and out of the house for you? You shouldn't be trying to lift it at all. Is it on a plant dolly? Is there such a thing as a mobile plant stand? Something like that would be very handy.
Feb 25, 2015 10:41 AM CST
|Deebie, you should see some of the really big, old plants they have in Thailand. Takes several men and a crane to move one! no joke.
Mike, yes, Oriole is a Renoa plant. It produced four even limbs, and blooms very nicely. A good plant!
I too love the 'blacks', but neither of mine is very "bloomie", meaning they don't bloom often, and don't have many flowers when they do.
I saw this in someone's yard the other day, I will go back with binocualrs to get a better look. I don't want to be running around in someone's yard to look at their plants. There is a large pink Adenium behind a yucca, and a tall plant with a baobab sort of trunk, I think it might be a weird white Adenium.
zoomed and blurry--- Dry season here, everybody's lawn looks like this!

|Thank you Deebie I do have it in a sun room that have windows on three sides,and it is on a lazy Suzan so can keep turning it.my son puts it outside in the summer, it was suggested that I cut all the branches back to the roots and I may do that this summer.
Feb 25, 2015 12:31 PM CST
|Lovely blooms! I am still keeping my Adeniums indoors by our south facing window. It is slowly trying to wake-up, so tempting to bring it outdoors, since it is dry and sunny but our overnight temps are still dipping very low ..patience...patience...patience..

So I go on about Brunswick all the time, because it's my first born, but I'm going to start wetting your whistle with my new novel Mary now. Its a lot more supernatural than Brunswick but as you may have seen in my previous post I never meant to write a fantasy!!
All the books that live in my head are supernatural and at the moment I am giving a new twist to the Mary Legend. I L.O.V.E urban legends. I have always been fascinated by them and the psychology they carry. The effect that they have on people is great because it varies so much. Even the non-believers have so much to say. Bloody Mary is one of my favourites as mirrors in the supernatural realm have always held a lot of power and secrets.
When I was a little girl my big sisters told me that if you starred in the mirror long enough you would see the face of the devil. Of course this little legend was a way to stop the devil that is vanity, but it didn't stop a little Ann from being scared to hold my reflection for to long. As I got older I did it purposely to make sure that I got to see the Devil. Of course this never happened and all I got was bad eyesight, thank you sisters!!!, but my curiosity with all things supernatural never went away. I grew up loving horror books and horror movies, the psychological side of it fascinated me and still does.
I tried the Bloody Mary chant before and nothing happened, no proof for me, but I read so many reports of something happening to people when they did it. It just made me think why is it different for some than for others. Now whether you believe the reports to be true or not is neither here nor there, the person making the report about 80% of the time does believe something happened to them. Some have even walked away with injuries? I think that's fascinating because it must be a psychological thing, what is in this persons psyche to make it such a different and traumatic experience for them. Most paranormal investigators have never seen a ghost but many have witnessed poltergeist activity which is, apparently, linked to the psyche.
I'm a bit of a hippy I must admit and I truly think all things are connected. I believe heavily in fate and also in new beginnings and karma.
Anyway before I start to ramble about my beliefs and fascinations too much, I should say that that is why I chose this story. I've mixed it up a little and have my own little twisted idea as to the Bloody Mary Legend. I'll keep you posted and I promise a sneaky peek at the prologue just like I did with Brunswick.
Happy Blogging

Are you having trouble sleeping at night?
Do you feel at your wit's end when it comes to trying to figure out the best way to get a good night's sleep?
Can you take melatonin while breastfeeding your little one?
You have probably heard that taking melatonin supplements can help improve your sleep cycles over time and give you a deeper and more restful sleep. But if you're thinking about taking it for your own sleeping issues and you're currently a nursing mom, it's a good idea to make sure you understand everything about this supplement before you go out and buy it.
In this article, we'll teach you everything you need to know about melatonin, including what it is, what it's used for, and how it can affect your baby. We'll also explain a few ways taking melatonin while nursing may affect you as well.
By the time you finish reading, you should have a solid understanding of what to expect from taking melatonin while you're still breastfeeding your baby, and you should be able to make a decision about whether or not to do this at all.
Read on to learn more.
Melatonin is something that occurs naturally in your body. It is made by the pineal gland, which is a part of your brain. When you sleep at night, your brain produces melatonin to help regulate your internal clock. Sleeping during the day isn't as effective at helping melatonin production, since the amount of light when you're sleeping has something to do with how much your body produces.
People who have trouble sleeping well at night or those who work night shifts and have to sleep during the day often have problems with melatonin production. This, in turn, can make you sleep even less and may lead to terrible insomnia or even seasonal depression.
Taking melatonin supplements can help regulate the amount of this hormone present in your body. The more regularly you take melatonin, the more of it will build up in your body, and you'll find that over time, you're able to sleep better and for longer stretches. However, it's not without its consequences, and melatonin supplements aren't for everyone. If you're a nursing mom, you should heavily consider before you take them.
When you take any supplements or medications, you're probably wondering whether or not they can pass into your breast milk and be transferred to your baby. Most of the time, anything you ingest has the possibility of being present in your milk, although depending on what you're taking it may or may not be at a high enough level to cause a problem. But what about melatonin? This is a hormone, so how can it affect your child while you're nursing?
Although the effects on your baby may not be as severe as they could be, it's generally recommended for breastfeeding moms to avoid taking melatonin because of the potential issues it could cause for their little ones. However, if you're still not sure, check out the following section to find out about what melatonin may do to you while you're nursing, too.
Your baby isn't the only one who may have some issues when you take melatonin while breastfeeding—and some of the problems you may face could also end up negatively impacting your little one, too. Melatonin is a very powerful hormonal supplement, and it's so strong that some people only take a half or a quarter of one pill every night to try to get to sleep. When taking something as strong as this, there are always going to be potential side effects, so be sure you understand these before you make your decision.
As you can see, it's probably not a great idea to take melatonin while you're nursing your baby. This is a strong over-the-counter supplement that works well but must be used in a very responsible manner. There are a lot of potential side effects that you may suffer from when you take melatonin, whether you only take it once or you take it regularly every night. And of course, there are always issues your baby may experience from the presence of any type of drug or supplement in your breast milk.
If you're still looking for a way to sleep better at night without having to rely on such a strong supplement, however, be sure to bring this up with your doctor. You'll be able to get some good recommendations for alternatives to melatonin that can help you get your sleeping cycle back on track in no time.

'Visit your dead loved ones or they come and visit you'. Of course it is a joke. For someone who really has a close relative for a 'dead loved one' like me, it's eerie. You see, one of my numerous worries is ghosts or just anything that is supernatural. But I have too many financial obligations to spend a couple of thousands or more for my fare. Still, I asked my mom who have always been so encouraging and kind in her more than 60 years in this life. Oh, she has to know because our dead loved one is my father. That should explain my anxiousness.
Not wanting my mom to worry about me, I omitted the real reason for my indecision. As if nature is on my side, an approaching storm will hit region where my point of business is located. That made a very persuading reason. There is no doubt too that my mom will agree even if I don't have any valid reason. She is just the best mom in the world; she will still stick with her kids even if I had the worst sickness in the world. In short, I did not go home and is now writing this thing.
In her nice, maternal voice, my mom just asked me to attend a mass and pray. That I should not forget about sticking a candle for my deceased pop, my brother, and my granny. I was even afraid if she will also ask me to do the same with what she often called 'Laudati' for whatever that means but she did not. I did all that and even lighted 3 more candles at the front of our main door.
I am relieved but I found out later that I can't keep my mind from what we should have done as a family in honoring our dead loved ones. In two weeks, I am going home to do just that.

WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) -- The Federal Reserve warned Tuesday that a recession is now the greatest risk to the U.S. economy.
The Federal Open Market Committee did not, however, lower interest rates in an effort to stimulate the economy, a sign that the Fed does not see negative growth as an immediate threat.
The Federal funds rate remains at 6.5 percent and the discount rate remains at 6 percent.
"The committee ... believes that the risks are weighted mainly toward conditions that may generate economic weakness in the foreseeable future," the statement said.
Markets sold off initially, apparently on some confusion about what the Fed had done.
Listen to Greg Valliere of Schwab on the Fed.
Recent data, the Fed said, "suggest that economic growth may be slowing further." At the same time, while inflationary pressures persist, "they are diminished." Read the statement.
The FOMC specifically mentioned the drag on the economy from higher energy costs. Read Paul Erdman's opinion.
Wall Street expected a switch in the policy directive wording, but no change in actual policy. They expect the Federal Open Market Committee to begin lowering interest rates early next year for the first time since the depths of the global financial crisis in November 1998.
Some economists aren't so sure. "We are struck by the mild language re the slowdown and the reaffirmation that inflation risks remain," said Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at High Frequency Economics. "A January easing is not a done deal. It's all down to the data."
The Fed funds rate is the rate banks charge each other for loans to meet the Fed's reserve requirements. The discount rate is the rate the Fed charges for overnight loans.
The Fed had tightened monetary policy six times between June 1999 and May 2000, when the FOMC's major worry was inflationary pressures from tight labor markets.
Inflation did tick up in during the Fed's tightening cycle, but the increase was mostly due to higher energy prices.
Although the jobless rate is still hovering near 30-year lows at 4 percent, the Fed now sees a recession as the biggest risk to economic stability.
Technically, a recession is defined as two consecutive quarters of falling real domestic product. Every downturn since World War II has been preceded by Fed tightening.
Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan signaled the switch in Fed thinking two weeks ago in a major speech to bankers, in which he warned that greater caution from lenders or further loses in the stock market could lead to "excessive softening" in demand. See full story.
Worries about a weak economy are concentrated in Wall Street, where dozens of major corporations are warning of slower growth in revenues and profits.
On Main Street, by contrast, the economic picture still looks relatively bright. Jobs are plentiful, wages are rising and interest rates have fallen from their highs.
The only dark clouds for consumers are high prices for petroleum and natural gas and the disappointing performance in their retirement accounts. Consumer confidence plunged in November, but optimism about the economy remains at high levels by historic standards.
Many economists (like Bank One's Diane Swonk) believe the consumer is still strong and that the Fed's worry about a recession is overblown.
Their argument: Consumer spending has stalled temporarily, so retailers and wholesalers are cutting back on their new orders to manufacturers, who are responding by cutting production and their workforce.
But once inventories are worked off and consumers resume spending, the economy ought to rebound, these economists say.
What makes the Fed's decision so tough is that changes in monetary policy can take a year or more to be fully felt in the economy.
If the economy is really heading for a fall, then the Fed may be too late. On the other hand, a rate cut might be too stimulative if the economy rebounds later next year.
One factor that may give the Fed some level of comfort: The bubble in the stock market has been lanced. The wealth effect is no longer increasing demand faster than supply can keep up.

Bernard Poolman was the most amazing person I've ever known and I dare say that the world has known. He was so steady and ready and forever moving towards realizing the potential in himself and in everyone I saw him come into contact with. I spent many, many nights talking with him and listening to him speak on matters big and small, and while I didn't readily understand everything he shared with me, with the unfolding of time I've begun to notice realizations popping up inside my mind from past conversations I've had with the Big Man, as I called him.
I wanted to share what it was like speaking with Bernard and listening his booming voice as he spoke and reasoned with us on the farm. If it is allowed to cherish certain memories in life, then allow me to say that these moments sitting with Bernard as he puffed away on an ever-present cigarette, taking us all on a discursive journey in sound full of surprises, wonderment, troubling analysis and much laughter, as only Bernard could. So, this DOF tune is dedicated to those who have also had the pleasure of sitting with this unique and wonderful man who for me epitomized the full potential of being human in this crazy world. And it is dedicated to those who never have heard of him or may have propped him up in their minds as an enemy or villain. It doesn't matter what one thinks of him, it only matters if you heard him. And verily I say to you, those who have ears should better use them!

Main rules: imported goods
EC Law
Article 32 Principal VAT Directive
32. …… .
However, if dispatch or transport of the goods begins in a third territory or third country, both the place of supply by the importer designated or recognised under Article 201 as liable for payment of VAT and the place of any subsequent supply shall be deemed to be within the Member State of importation of the goods.
UK Law
Section 7 VAT Act 1994
7(6)Goods whose place of supply is not determined under any of the preceding provisions of this section shall be treated as supplied in the United Kingdom where -
(a)their supply involves their being imported from a place outside the member States; and
(b)the person who supplies them is the person by whom, or under whose directions, they are so imported.
Basic principle
Section 7(6) applies to goods whose supply involves their being imported into the UK from somewhere outside the EC. Effectively the place of supply is determined by who acts as the importer. So if the supplier imports the goods into the UK, the supply to the UK customer is treated as taking place in the UK and so the supplier may be liable to register for VAT here.
However, if the UK customer imports the goods, the supply is treated under section 7(7)(b)as taking place outside the UK.
Chain supplies
Goods imported from a third country may involve a chain of supplies. For example
- A may supply the goods to B
- B then supplies them to C, and
- C in turn supplies them to D.
At some stage the goods are imported into the UK and so the place of each supply will depend on who acted as the importer.
|If it were A
|- all three of the supplies take place in the UK.
|If it were B
|- the first supply (A to B) is outside the UK, with the subsequent supplies (B to C and C to D) taking place in the UK.
|If it were C
|- the first two supplies (A to B and B to C) are outside the UK and only the last supply (C to D) takes place in the UK.
|If it were D
|- all three supplies are outside the UK.
Where, or to whom, the goods are delivered in the UK following importation does not affect the position.
Confusion sometimes arises in cases where delivery of the goods does not follow, say, the invoices generated by the supply chain. In the above example, taking C as the importer, it may be that the goods move directly from A to C.Also the documentation relating to the supply from B to C maybe delayed until after importation.
But all this is immaterial. The crucial point is that the goods are imported into the UK and C is the importer. The supply from B to C is therefore outside the scope of UK VAT irrespective of where the goods were at the time of supply.

Beauty starts from within, and by that we mean physically and mentally. We had the pleasure of attending this year's Solstice in Times Square "Mind Over Madness Yoga" that was presented by Aerie. This event was literally in the middle of Times Square. If you aren't familiar with this annual event it is a free yoga event with an optional donation that is held in Times Square every year to help fund money for charities of their choice. This year the two charities of choice was Bent on Learning and Exhale to Inhale. The feeling of becoming spiritually connected with oneself and with the positive energy from everyone else around us was so exuberant.
As always we met some great people along the way. Matha (owner of But-A-Cake joined us on this journey (BTW check her out she started an inspiring yoga Instagram.
This event was pretty awesome, people of all different age groups came to share their yoga practice. There were beginners and intermediates as well as men and women. Jessamyn Stanley was there and but unfortunately we did not get to see her! Such a bummer cause we stand by her positivity messages and "her hell yeah just do it" attitude towards life. The event was live and published and some footage can be seen here. We attended the 3:30 pm class taught by Aditi Shah and Rachel Cohen.

Posted by Times Square, New York City on Wednesday, June 21, 2017
The only downside to the event was that we were not in the same section as the instructor, only the demonstrator. Which they did not let us know beforehand (or even on the tickets). Otherwise we could have come earlier and just hung out until class started.

Australia lost its greatest ultra marathon runner Bryan Smith28th Stage
When 16 runners remained in the BigRedSky Trans Australia Foot Race reaching Penong last night they seemed relieved that they have completed the toughest stages within the Race of Fire through the Nullarbor Plain. After 16 days in the harsh Australian environment, the runners and crew were organising how they were going to spend their first night in civilisation. However destiny intervened putting a question mark into the future of the race. To start the journey for today, Bernie Farmer the Race Organiser gave an inspirational talk to the runners stating how proud he was of them all of what they had achieved. These words by him touched all the athletes and crew. Then tradegy occurred when three kilometres into the stage to Ceduna, Victorian athlete Bryan Smith aged 57 passed away. At his first drink stop he complained that he felt dizzy shortly before falling to the ground. Bobby Brown and Paul Every who were running 20 metres behind him were unable to revive him together with Brian Jackson who is Mick Francis's support crew.
The stage was immediately stopped and all the runners congregated at the hospital in Ceduna. They waited quietly till the hospital staff called them to pay their last respects to the greatest ultra marathon runner in Australia. Runners and crew were in a state of shock and the hospital staff provided a debreifing to deal with the grief. Race organisers informed them that the future of the event will be announced this evening purely based on the wishes of his widow Janet. Running across Australia was a long time dream of Bryans and this will be taken into consideration.
From all the runners, support crew and organisers of the event. Bryan epitomized the true spirit of this race. Always smiling, forever giving of his time and experience. This exceptional, humble and extremely gifted athlete and gentleman will be most sorely missed by all us athletes, support staff and organisers of the BigRedSky Trans Australia Foot Race. His spirit will live on in everyone of us for the duration of this race and for the rest of our lives. He will be a huge hole to fill as he has touched the hearts of all. Rest in Peace.

Children, Young People, Families, Early Intervention and Adult Learning and Empowering Communities Fund evaluation: baseline report
- Directorate:
- Children and Families Directorate
- Part of:
- Children and families, Communities and third sector, Equality and rights, Research
- 9781786524720
This report is part of an evaluation which aims to assess whether the vision for the fund is achieved and to inform future decisions.
The CYPFEI & ALEC Fund is supporting the core services and infrastructure of 118 national third sector organisations over the period April 2016 to March 2019. The Fund aims to contribute to national outcomes and reflects the Scottish Government's policy on children, young people, families, adult and community learning including GIRFEC and the Adult Learning in Scotland Statement of Ambition. The Fund also addresses key approaches promoted by the Scottish Government including prevention and early intervention, and joined-up working. This baseline report is part of the formative evaluation of the Fund which aims to assess whether the overall vision for the Fund is achieved and to inform future decisions around this area of funding. This report has summarised the initial evaluation findings, drawing on a wide range of evidence including a self‑assessment survey completed by 103 of the funded organisations and consultations with the sample of twelve funded organisations, seven Policy Officers and six stakeholders.
The self-assessment survey has provided a baseline of the strengths, weaknesses and views of the national third sector organisations supported by the Fund. Overall, the survey showed that organisations identified many more strengths than weaknesses as summarised in the table below and the graph in the Appendix. Respondents gave the most positive ratings to prevention and early intervention and the way this is embedded in their work (9.0 out of 10), as well as their understanding and integration of equality issues (8.8). The themes rated least positively overall were financial sustainability and funding (6.5) followed by involvement in local and national structures (7.1).
|On a scale of one to ten, please rate…
|Average rating
|Prevention and early intervention
|Equality Issues
|Knowledge, skills and capacity
|Joint working with third sector organisations
|Interaction with Scottish Government
|Involvement in local groups and national structures
|Financial sustainability and funding
The consultation findings summarised in sections 2 to 5 of this report support the survey findings and highlight additional issues which will be assessed throughout the evaluation. In section 2, third sector organisations identified capacity issues as a significant challenge resulting from financial pressures and increasing demand for services driven by social and economic conditions and policy developments. Generally, skills and knowledge within the organisations were viewed as strong, with consultees commending the expertise that exists in the organisations, although some skills gaps and shortages were noted. It was also reported in section 2 that organisations were committed to equality and diversity, with a number of the organisations established with the aim of promoting and protecting the rights of specific minority groups. There was, however, a suggestion that some smaller organisations may find it more difficult to articulate their approach.
One of the key questions to be assessed by the evaluation is whether embedding early intervention and prevention in the ethos of organisations supported by the Fund have been sustained or improved, and if so, what was the Fund's contribution, and what has the impact been. Section 3 highlighted that at the outset of the Fund, prevention and early intervention are important to national third sector organisations and embedded in their delivery. Generally, the funded organisations suggested the CYPFEI & ALEC Fund will maintain and enhance their prevention and early intervention focus with examples provided of their own work and how they seek to influence partners. Some organisations identified increasing demand for frontline services, leading to capacity issues, as a constraint on their prevention and early intervention work.
Section 4 highlighted that overall third sector organisations work well with other organisations in the sector. It was, however, reported that decreasing funding and increasing competition has led some third sector organisations to reassess information sharing with other organisations in the sector. At this stage it is too early to address the evaluation question of whether formal and informal partnerships between third sector organisations have arisen as a result of being part of the Fund, or any impact these partnerships might have. However, a Policy Officer and Lloyds TSB Foundation for Scotland highlighted an example of how this may occur with planned activity involving a small number of organisations working in one particular policy area. Section 4 also noted that positive relationships generally exist between third sector organisations and the Scottish Government/Education Scotland. However, there was a view that this is limited to one or two key contacts and information dissemination by the Scottish Government/Education Scotland could be more consistent. Positive views about the Policy Officers assigned to third sector organisations as part of the Fund were reported, the main benefits of which are envisaged as greater understanding and mutually beneficial communications around policy issues.
One of the questions to be addressed by the evaluation is whether the Fund has impacted on internal Scottish Government processes and ways of working, including the third sector having opportunities to co-produce and add value to the development of Scottish Government policy. The early evidence is positive, for example, one of the stakeholders explained how the Board that met to discuss allocations - consisting of internal and external representatives - had influenced some of the decisions, and commended the process. Consultees involved in the Short Term Working Group that informed the development of the Fund also commented positively on the process; others commented that they would have welcomed the opportunity to be involved if they had the capacity to do so.
"The development of the Fund was very good, it was not done to us, it was very open and was the diametric opposite of some other funds". (Stakeholder).
There was also a view that closer working relationships between third sector organisations as well as with the Scottish Government have been promoted by the Fund.
"I would hope it will lead to a healthier system with much healthier relationships, better flows of information that inform better decision making and with the voice of communities much more articulated". (Stakeholder).
Section 5 noted that third sector organisations warmly welcomed the Fund's support for core services and infrastructure in light of the prevailing financial climate and that this is adding to organisational capacity, which it is envisaged will help to enhance prevention and early intervention and joint working. This therefore provides early evidence in response to the evaluation question of whether the capacity, skills and knowledge of the third sector improved as a result of being part of this funding programme, and if so, what the impact has been. Financial sustainability was generally regarded as challenging although there were some examples of how the Fund is assisting organisations to identify alternative funding sources.
One of the key questions to be assessed by the evaluation is how the Fund as a whole contributes at a national level towards improving outcomes for beneficiaries. At this very early stage it is clearly too soon to answer this question. The majority of consultees suggested that the Fund would contribute to improving outcomes for beneficiaries of each organisation and therefore there would be a collective national level impact. However, they cautioned that the CYPFEI & ALEC Fund represents a relatively small percentage of the overall income of the majority of the funded organisations and the impact would therefore be proportionate. In addition, while they agreed that the Fund is aligned with the national outcomes they emphasised that any impact would be proportionate to other funding, initiatives and policy developments, and would only be evident over time. The difficulty of measuring attribution and of the impact of secondary organisations supported by the Fund was raised by some consultees.
This baseline report is part of a formative evaluation of the Fund and its findings will be re-visited as the evaluation progresses. It is also hoped the findings will inform the work of the Stakeholder Group and the learning and development programme to be delivered by Lloyds TSB Foundation.
