A Virginia high school English teacher is in hot water after writing a comment on a Latina student's essay that asked about her immigration status.
Kelly Valera told WUSA-TV that one day after the election, her daughter's sophomore English teacher at Centreville High School asked students to write their feelings about the results.
Valera's daughter wrote that she was disgusted that Donald Trump was elected because he "judges people by their race and gender."
She added: "I am thankful for the life I have and my family (which Trump is trying to deport because we are Hispanic, but whatever)."
When the teacher returned the paper, the girl noticed a comment next to the line about deportation:
"If I may ask, Are you legal or illegal? It depends on that factor for deportation. I hope you get to stay!"
Immigrants living in the United States without documentation are more appropriately referred to as "undocumented." As journalist Maria Hinojosa explained on MSNBC's "AM Joy" in October, human beings cannot be "illegal." Rather, they are "living without papers or without documents in this country."
At first, Valera's daughter thought her teacher's "illegal" question was a joke and posted a picture of the essay to Snapchat. Parents of other students saw it and complained to the school, according to Fusion.net.
Valera, who asked that her daughter not be named in media reports, then requested a meeting with Centreville High administrators. They agreed the teacher's comment was out of bounds.
Valera's daughter was transferred to another English class. Her mother said the teacher, whose name wasn't released by school officials, should be suspended.
"Now [my daughter] is the one feeling like she did something wrong because she was pulled out of her class with all her friends," Valera told WUSA-TV. "These kids are scared, and she's scared because of the way the teacher made her feel."
Fairfax County Public Schools released a statement confirming that the district considers the teacher's comment "inappropriate." The district said its policy is "to provide equitable treatment and opportunities for all."
School officials aren't legally permitted to request a student's proof of citizenship and don't enforce immigration laws.
School administrators declined to discuss possible disciplinary action against the teacher, according to The Associated Press.

Back in May, TIGERS to LILIES had the unique task of adding 'life' to the Unique LA event by bringing in plants/trees/flower boxes along with our brand of hand-welded plant stands. Unique LA is a weekend mart for all creatives here in Los Angeles - a showcase and opportunity for local brands to introduce their products and shine. Working alongside one of my brothers, we managed to add some much needed green spirit to the large space and couldn't have been more proud!
I still operate from a family-base, meaning that when I need something designed/welded/built/created/delivered (sometimes by motorcycle!) I turn to either one of my adeptly skilled brothers, my husband Elijah, or my assistant Jessica. We are a tight unit and operate very well together. Something that I am quite proud of and most grateful for.

Thank you again Unique LA!

Travel Spot: Falling in Love with the Waves of Bolinao (@Puerto del Sol), Pangasinan
After countless rescheds since March 2012, it finally happened! Our team's going to Bolinao! Finally! Yey!
It usually takes 6 hours to get there via land and we had no idea how to go there. Boo. But we have GPS in CPA's car. Yey! He has wifi in his car too. Double Yey! But there's weak signal after Tarlac. Boo. But we have an in-built cinema in the car. Yey! But Jei's crazy DVD speaks French instead of English. Boo! Oh, the DVD has 30+ movies in it. Yey!
After watching Snow White and the Huntsman, after a quick breakfast in Tarlac, after attempting to watch Prometheus and Madagascar 3, and after singing "Call Me Maybe" complete with the crazy dance for the nth time, we're finally in Puerto del Sol — 5 hours after leaving Manila. Were we really driving for 5 hours? Joy ride made fun with happy crazy people.
Joy rides. It's more fun in the Philippines.
Welcome to Puerto del Sol! We got there a lil past 9 AM, a few hours prior check-in time. What to do? What to do 'til all 3 rooms are available? Lots! Lotsa lotsa lots!
Time to shoot around first. To check out Puerto del Sol's amenities and facilities.

I had therapy this afternoon. As usual, I forgot that I had therapy today until I saw the appointment on the family appointment schedule/calendar. The appointment was going to be one where I discussed something that has been pestering me since I was a little kid. It was going to be one where I discussed something I've only mentioned to two or three people total in my life. Of course, therapy never seems to work out the way I plan on it working.
One main reason that I didn't discuss that pestering issue is that Nana had called at about noon today. She'd told me that a certain relative had been talking to her about Thanksgiving. The relative asked if my parents and I were going to be at Thanksgiving dinner (lunch) on Thanksgiving Day. Nana said that of course we were going to be there. The relative then said that that meant she (and her family) would not be at that dinner and that they would have Thanksgiving some other time. I wasn't too surprised by this, given the amount of drama that has been brewing related to it. I was okay with it, or so I thought.
Having them there in a "normal" year is a rather stressful thing for me anyway. I have internal fights and arguments in preparation for the day. I have panic attacks about what might happen if I mention certain things during dinner and cause an actual brawl. I stress out over how I might end up being belittled for my education (or "lack" thereof) or how I might see or hear them give someone (Nana, mom, or me) a difficult time about their use of pain medicine or some other relatively minor thing that ends up causing major family drama. So not having them there means that I won't be feeling quite the same level of pre-Thanksgiving anxiety and stress. That should be a good thing.
It isn't, though. I feel guilty. I feel like this drama is my fault, even though it wouldn't have started if there weren't issues with how the family functions to begin with. The drama has been there for a long time, even if it hadn't been exposed. So I shouldn't feel so horribly guilty about it, but I do. And I think that was the purpose of the boycott. Maybe that's just my inherent paranoia, but it seems like this is a way to make me feel bad about the whole situation and to feel even less comfortable about my blog and my way of handling stress related to this kind of stuff.
It doesn't really impact my decision about what I'll talk about online, though. I will continue to talk about how I feel openly. I'll do it even though it might be part of what drives a wedge between the two sides of my family. I'll even do it knowing that there are still regular visitors from Oneonta and Guntersville/Arab/Boaz/Albertville, which I know must be them coming to check
on me to see what I might be saying about them. (Yes, Analytics is still catching them checking out fuzzypinkslippers.com, my personal tumblr, my LJ, Hyperaware, and Blah Blah Biddy Blah. They may be visiting other sites of mine, which amps up my paranoia.)
Instead, it just makes me feel like it doesn't matter that the problems with the family wouldn't be discussed if I didn't blog about it. It makes me feel like my feelings about everything are insignificant. And that is what I mainly talked about with my therapist. Anytime I'm told not to talk about something or told, in general, to shut up or that someone doesn't care, it triggers the internal belief that I am insignificant, which triggers the brutal depression and the worsening of social isolation.
It also makes me feel like I'm supposed to feel guilty about how I am tearing apart the family, even though I am not the one making the decision not to show up for Thanksgiving (for the third time in a decade) and I am not the one who is trying to make this about one part of the family being more important than another part. Knowing that family is extremely important to me and then trying to use it against me to make me feel guilty is about like handing a razor blade to a suicidal individual and challenging them to end their life. It is using a known weapon and a known psychological stressor to manipulate one person into doing what you want, and that isn't fair.
Between this ongoing drama with those family members and the repeating pattern of destructive interpersonal relationships, I broke down about how "people suck" and how I felt like I keep entering and perpetrating dysfunctional relationships because I get something out of being in those relationships. (Almost twenty years of therapy and I just figured this out.) She told me to look up the Karpman drama triangle, which I've added to examples of below:
So, I guess that internet theory about online drama perpetrators/victims being equally responsible for online drama also applies to real life. I think, in many of the relationships, I am definitely continuing patterns of victim-like behavior and perpetrator-like behavior. (Sometimes I trigger/accuse someone of doing something, which starts the whole cycle over again.) My therapist compared the drama issue with something that foster kids do. (She was a social worker with the agency we did foster care out of, and handled Stephanie's case during part of Stephanie's stay with us.) Apparently, what I do is like what those kids do when they are so used to placements failing that they become convinced that a placement will fail and decide that they will make it fail so that they have some level of control over their lives. I guess that makes sense. I've always felt out of control when it comes to a lot of my life, so it would make sense that I would do something that causes me to not only be miserable, but also allows me to control when I am getting miserable.
I need to get out of that cycle. I also need to form healthier attachments. And more than all of that, I need to figure out a way to be happy. I'm not talking about the little bursts of joy that any person might have during their life. I need to find a way to have some kind of sustainable joy in life. I didn't want to work on my mental health for years and I actually enjoyed periods of crippling depression because it was more predictable than happiness. I really need to change that mindset. I need to learn how to deal with life and how to be happier.
So, I didn't get to talk about one thing that may have been to blame for some (or many of my emotional issues), but I did get to talk about another. It actually makes me feel grateful to the family member for reacting in a way that some close to me have referred to as being "immature" or "bitchy" because without that reaction, I might not have started working on one of my major psychological issues. So, yay for that. Maybe I should have more thoroughly pissed that person off much sooner. I might have graduated from college. I might have gotten married by now. I might have felt happy. Okay, maybe none of that would have happened, but it does make me wonder.

Hix Oyster & Chop House Restaurant Review: It's got a nice ring to it --- Oyster & Chop House --- all very Dickensian and olde-world London. Décor is basic with wooden floors, wooden chairs and tables, and pale colors. If you want a quintessentially British experience, hot foot it along to this area around Smithfield that remains one of London's most delightful and relatively unspoilt locales. Smithfield is the site of the main meat market, working from the very early hours supplying restaurants with top meat and game. So at this establishment from Mark Hix you might go for barbecued beef ribs with cider cabbage, or mutton chop curry with apple pakoras. Steaks are particularly strong, everything from hanger steak with baked bone marrow to porterhouse is on offer, all cooked to order. But this is a fish specialist too, so perhaps try the scallops then roast monkfish on the bone. There are also the likes of rhubarb meringue or saffron custard tart in season. If you catch a familiar note, you've probably eaten Hix's food at The Ivy, J. Sheekey and Scott's, all of which he has either cooked at or been closely involved with. Sunday lunch 2 courses £23.95 or 3 courses £27.95.

Department of Civil Engineering, University of Patras, Patras 26 110, Greece
A review of boundary element methods for the numerical solution of dynamic problems of linear elasticity is presented. The integral formulation and the corresponding numerical solution of three- and two-dimensional elastodynamics from the direct boundary element method viewpoint and in both the frequency and time domains are described. The special case of the anti-plane motion governed by the scalar wave equation is also considered. In all the cases both harmonic and transient dynamic disturbances are taken into account. Special features of material behavior such as viscoelasticity, inhomogeneity, anisotropy, and poroelasticity are briefly discussed. Some other nonconventional boundary element methods as well as the hybrid scheme that results from the combination of boundary and finite elements are also reviewed. All these boundary element methodologies are applied to: soil-structure interaction problems that include the dynamic analysis of underground and above-ground structures, foundations, piles, and vibration isolation devices; problems of crack propagation and wave diffraction by cracks; and problems dealing with the dynamics of beams, plates, and shells. Finally, a brief assessment of the progress achieved so far in dynamic analysis is made and areas where further research is needed are identified.

Short teaser for Star Wars: Rebels reveals place in timeline
With STAR WARS: EPISODE VII now on the horizon and the franchise characters now in Disney's hands, the push for bringing a new generation into the fold is taking shape. Before we see J.J. Abrams unleash his own version of the force in theaters, we'll first be treated to a small screen endeavor, Star Wars: Rebels, which takes place within the canon of Episodes III and IV. Today, we have our first tiny peek at a teaser for the show, which reveals very little, minus a Star Destroyer, clearing placing the show in the post Episode III era.
Take a gander:
Here's the synopsis:
The series is set between the events of Episode III and IV -- an era spanning almost two decades never-before explored on-screen. It takes place in a time where the Empire is securing its grip on the galaxy and hunting down the last of the Jedi Knights as a fledgling rebellion against the Empire is taking shape. Star Wars Rebels will be produced by Lucasfilm Animation, featuring many of the key talents that made Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
An extended preview is expected to debut at NYCC this weekend, so expect to hear/see more on this in the near future. Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing more. This teaser is hardly enough to judge, but just seeing that there aren't any clones gets me excited. Seriously, that well is dry. I'm ready for a new era.
Star Wars: Rebels is scheduled to premiere in fall 2014 as a one-hour special telecast on Disney Channel, and will be followed by a series on Disney XD channels around the world.

#reputable charities
Aug 20, 2013 3:50pm PDT by Leslie Salzillo
When it comes to making donations, many of us have felt some angst in deciding where our money can do the most good. We often hear stories of 'charities' that are less than. charitable. In a recent report by Adrienne Hill on NPR's Marketplace. Americans give more to charities, per capita, than any other developed country. In 2011, we gave $200 billion dollars.
Tampa Bay Times compiled a list of the Top 50 worst charities. Many names of the worst charities are very similar to legitimate charities. For instance, the number one worst charity, Kids Wish Network. sounds much too similar to. Make A Wish Foundation a legitimate respected organization, where donations go to helping very sick children see one of their dreams come true. With the Kids Wish Network, only 2.5% the $127.8 million they raised. went to direct cash aid. So where did the other millions go? $109 million of it went to paying solicitors to raise the money.
According to Kendall Taggart, of The Center For Investigating Reporting. many charities exist pretty much to pad the pockets and salaries of their founders. Often the value of goods that are shipped overseas cannot be verified. And then there are charitable goods shipped domestically that are outright insults to the recipients. One cancer victim in Knoxville, Tennessee, reached out to Cancer Fund of American to help with medical costs. He received a package containing paper cups, napkins and plates, along with children's toys, you know, things that help a cancer patient pay for medical costs. The patient's wife was so disgusted, she threw the entire package away.
Thankfully, there are a few reputable organizations online that can help us search charities to differentiate the good from the unscrupulous.
Here are the 50 of the worst charities, with the first being the worst. They are ranked by how much they raise, how much goes to pay the fund-raising solicitors, and how much goes to the actual charity. The title link above the list, will bring you to a page with an interactive chart and more information about charities in general.

47. Our American Veterans
48. Roger Wyburn-Mason Jack M Blount Foundation For Eradication of Rheumatoid Disease
49. Firefighters Burn Fund
50. Hope Cancer Fund
One of the most disturbing aspects of this list, is that the names of most of these pseudo charities are designed to pull the heartstrings of donors who think their money is going to help very sick children, women with breast cancer, veterans. when very little, if any is actually going to those in need. Makes me want to scream out their names on the highest mountain. I'll have to settle with posting them here, as the best way to deal with this problem, is to become informed and ask charities questions like, "How much of my donation is actually going to this cause?." I'm grateful to all those who have taken the time to compile this information, which helps many of us to discern where, and where not, to place our donations.
Here are some reputable charity online navigators:

A Poem About Plurals
We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes;
but the plural of ox became oxen not oxes.
One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
yet the plural of moose should never be meese.
You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice;
yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.
If the plural of man is always called men,
why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?
If I spoke of my foot and show you my feet,
and I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth?
Then one may be that, and three would be those,
yet hat in the plural would never be hose,
and the plural of cat is cats, not cose.
We speak of a brother and also of brethren,
but though we say mother, we never say methren.
Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,
but imagine the feminine, she, shis and shim.
Respect to anyone and everyone who learns English as a second language. It's my first language and I can barely understand it. Probably explains why I am fluent in gibberish.
Just don't get me started on grammar . . .

Judson's Six-Year Faith
Dr. Judson
labored diligently for six years in Burma before he baptized a convert.
At the end of three years he was asked what evidence he had of ultimate
success. He replied, "As much as there is a God who will fulfill all
His promises." A hundred churches and thousands of converts answered
his faith.
Luther's Fourteen Consolations
Due to an
alleged vision to a Franconian shepherd, a superstition arose during the
Middle Ages that fourteen of their saints were to be regarded as the
"defenders from all evils." They were called The Fourteen of
Consolation and their images were placed above church altars.
When Frederick
the Wise was bedridden with a serious illness in 1519, his intercessor
Martin Luther prepared a little treatise of spiritual comfort which he
called The Fourteen of Consolation. Instead of using the medieval
saints' names, Luther substituted fourteen portions from the Word of
God to comfort the ruler.
Thus, in the
area of pastoral care, Luther used the promises of God in the
God Never Forgets Promises
An elderly
Christian was in much distress as he lay dying. "Oh, Pastor," he
said, "for years I have relied upon the promises of God, but now in
the hour of death I can't remember a single one to comfort me."
Knowing that Satan was disturbing him, the preacher said, "My brother,
do you think that GOD will forget any of His promises?" A smile came
over the face of the dying believer as he exclaimed joyfully. "No, no!
He won't! Praise the Lord, now I can fall asleep in Jesus and trust
Him to remember them all and bring me safely to Heaven." Peace flooded
his soul, and a short time later he was ushered by the angels into the
light of God's eternal day.
—Our Daily Bread
Moody's Favorite Verse
Turning over a
volume of valuable autographs, I came across the bold, manly signature
of my old friend of many years, Dwight L. Moody. Underneath was his
favorite text, which he calls up in an emergency. The text was Isaiah
1:7: "For the Lord God will help me. Therefore shall I not be
confounded; therefore have I set my face like a flint; and I know that I
shall not be ashamed."
—Walter Baxendale
The Key Called Promise
In Bunyan's
great allegory, Pilgrim's Progress, the incident is related of
how Christian decides to leave the Main Highway and follow another Path
which seemed easier. But this Path leads him into the territory of Giant
Despair who owns Doubting Castle.
Eventually he
is captured by Giant Despair and kept in a dungeon. He is advised to
kill himself. The Giant said there was no use trying to keep on with his
journey. For the time, it seemed as if Despair had really conquered
Christian. But then, Hope, Christian's companion, reminds him of
previous victories. So it came about that on Saturday about midnight
they began to pray, and continued in prayer until almost morning.
Now a little
before it was day, good Christian, as one half- amazed, broke out in
passionate speech, "What a fool am I thus to lie in a stinking
Dungeon, when I may as well be at liberty. I have a Key in my bosom
called Promise that will, I am persuaded, open any lock in Doubting
Castle." Then said Hopeful, "That's good news. Good Brother, pluck
it out of thy bosom and try." And the prison gates flew open.
Signs In Nile's Floating Chaff
There is an
old rabbinical legend, and it runs thus: "When Joseph was Prime
Minister to Pharaoh, during the period of the famine, he emptied the
chaff of his granaries into the river Nile. It floated far away on the
moving current, and the people on the banks at a great distance below
saw it. It was only chaff, but it meant that there was corn in plenty
When they saw
the floating chaff they were sure that if their strength held out, and
that if they could only reach the point at which the chaff had been
thrown into the river they would find plenty to nourish their life.
—Current Anecdotes
$5,000 In Bible
Some time ago
an elderly man living in New Jersey made an unusual discovery as he
leafed through an old family Bible. Many years earlier, his aunt had
died and left it to him. Part of her will read: "To my beloved Steven
Marsh I bequeath my family Bible and all it contains, along with the
residue of my estate after my funeral expenses and just and lawful debts
are paid." When everything had been settled the nephew got a few
hundred dollars plus the old volume mentioned in the will.
After the
money was used up, his only support was a small pension, and for more
than 30 years he lived in poverty. Then one day he cleaned out his attic
in preparation for a move to his son's home where he hoped to spend
his old age. There in a trunk was the family Bible he had inherited.
Opening it, he was amazed to find banknotes scattered throughout its
pages. He counted over $5000 in cash. Within his reach were riches he
could have been enjoying all along.
Unclaimed Funds Build Building
magnificent 19th-century 10-story bank building, known as the "Society
of Savings," located in Cleveland, Ohio, was built from unclaimed
funds of people.
Much of this
money was deposited by poor people who died. The directors of the bank,
after waiting for years for these depositors to claim that which was
theirs, turned the money over to the building of this beautiful bank
The unclaimed
promises in God's Word are sufficient, and over to build spiritual
edifices in life.
Lifetime Rail Pass Goes Unused
We learned
that when Crowfoot, the great chief of the Blackfoot confederacy in
southern Alberta, gave the Canadian Pacific Railway permission to cross
the Blackfoot land from Medicine Hat to Calgary, he was given in return
a lifetime pass. Crowfoot put it in a leather case and carried it around
his neck for the rest of his life. There is no record, however, that he
availed himself of the right to travel anywhere on the CPR trains.

Napoleon: "Thank You, Captain"
Napoleon's horse ran away and a lowly soldier caught him, Napoleon
said, "Thank you, Captain." The man at once packed his belongings,
moved to the officers' quarters, and went to mess with them. The
emperor had called him captain, and he was therefore an officer.
We are all
miserable sinners, but when we receive Jesus Christ, He calls us sons of
God (John 1:12). Let us then promptly pack our belongings and move into
the higher life to which He has appointed us!

Alexander Honors Big Request
An indigent
philosopher at the court of Alexander sought relief at the hand of that
sovereign, and received an order on his treasurer for any sum he should
ask. He immediately demanded ten thousand pounds. The treasurer demurred
at the extravagant amount; but Alexander replied, "Let the money be
instantly paid. I am delighted with this philosopher's way of
thinking. He has done me a singular honor. By the largeness of his
request, he shows the high idea he has conceived of my wealth and
munificence." God is honored in like manner.
His Life On Undrunk Water
A poor
criminal stood before an Eastern monarch, trembling for his life. A
moment later his head was to be severed from his body. He asked for a
drink of water. They brought it, but his hand trembled so that he could
not drink. The king cried to him, "Do not be so alarmed; your life is
safe till you drink that water."
In an instant
the glass was shivered on the pavement and the water untasted, and
looking boldly up to the king, the condemned man claimed the royal word.
The monarch smiled bitterly, and said, "You have fairly won your life:
I cannot break my word even to you. You are saved."
Pension For Life—And Starving
An aged
Indian, half naked and famished, wandered into one of our Western
settlements, begging for food to keep him from starving. While eagerly
devouring the bread bestowed by the hand of charity, a bright colored
ribbon, from which was suspended a small dirty pouch, was seen around
his neck. On being questioned, he said it was a charm given him in his
younger days; and opening it, displayed a faded, greasy paper, which he
handed to the investigator for inspection. It proved to be a regular
discharge from the Federal Army, entitling him to a pension for life and
signed by General Washington Himself.

A man who New Jersey authorities say had a record-setting amount of the highly addictive painkiller fentanyl has been indicted on drug possession charges.
Yahmire Boardley is also charged with intent to distribute the drug in the indictment that was handed up Monday.
The 23-year-old Camden man allegedly had 31 pounds of fentanyl when he was arrested in March. State Attorney General Christopher Porrino says it's the largest seizure of the drug in state history.
Porrino said the supply could have yielded up to five million lethal doses if sold on the street. Officials say a joint investigation by state and federal authorities found large quantities of the drug were being shipped from China to various locations around Camden.
Boardley's lawyer was not available for comment on Monday.
Fentanyl is a powerful opioid approximately 100 times more potent than heroin. When used illegally, it is often converted to powder form by drug dealers.
The proliferation of opioids continues to claim more lives across the nation than car crashes and homicides. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates 142 people die from a drug overdose every day. Half of the deaths are linked to opioids.
President Donald Trump declared the opioid epidemic a national emergency earlier this month at the urging of the presidential opioid commission. The commission is led by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who has focused his last months in office around combating the opioid epidemic.

Blue Valley Neighborhood / 27th Terrace Project:
The Blue Valley neighborhood is located on the east side of Kansas City, organized in 1976 with boundaries of 12th Street on the North, 40 Hwy on the South, Van Brunt Blvd on the West, and I-435 on the East. This neighborhood has suffered from years of decline and neglect. At the bottom of the page are links to the Blue valley Neighborhood Association and information about the Blue Valley Neighborhood.
Boarded up houses are common along with city owned vacant lots that are overgrown and subject to illegal dumping. Most of the houses are small one and two bedroom which makes them unattractive to the investor community. Homes this size are difficult to rent as most are looking for houses with three and four bedrooms. Boarded up and vacant homes have sat for years.
Working in conjunction with Legal Aid of Western Missouri , Blue Valley Neighborhood Association and Land Bank of Kansas City, we identified the south side of 27th Terrace between Van Brunt and Oakley as a real opportunity to make a difference in the neighborhood. A total of six single family homes and three vacant lots were deemed abandoned and available for purchase and renovation. One of the homes were donated, four houses and three vacant lots were purchased from the Kansas City Land Bank and one home is abandoned and we are in the process of acquiring it through the Missouri Abandoned Housing Act.
Before and after pictures of our first house at 5443 E 27 Terrace. This house was a total renovation to include new roof, siding, windows, electric, plumbing, drain lines, furnace, hot water heater, updated kitchen and updated bath. We also added new carpet and floor tile, mini blinds and ceiling fans.

I didn't want them to be straight. I didn't want them to be too curly. I wanted them somewhere in between. It's funny how I will get fixed on something until it is exactly the way I would like it to look. I'm glad I did. I really love the way Bubbles came out! I hope you do too :) Bubbles is an easy pattern to make. I think once you make one, you'll want to make another.... and another.....and another....

It commonly involves the wrists (flexor surface), lower back (lumbar region), shins, and ankles. The lesions often itch. Females are more frequently affected than males and the age range is approximately 30 to 60 years of age.

It has been a roller coaster ride over the past few months, initially finishing 8th at the 2007 European Championships in June which satisfied the qualifying standard for entry into the Yachting New Zealand Olympic Squad (OS) this result was followed by a testing performance at the 2007 World Championships.
Wind conditions for the 2007 World Championships were extremely shifty with no real pattern in either strength or direction, consequently there were some unusual outcomes with competitors going from leading groups to chasing groups and vice versa in seconds. During the qualifying races I was performing consistently in the top 5 in each of the 5 qualification races taking 7th position overall into the finals. However the final series of races provided some interesting challenges with equipment issues, radical conditions and a somewhat off performance contributing to a disappointing result of 21st overall.
There was some consolation from the Championships with compatriots Barbara Kendall (RS: X) and Andrew Murdoch (Laser) both proving luck beats skill :) winning Silver medals in their respective disciplines.
I am now back in New Zealand to take a few days to relax from training and get some other projects advanced prior to starting preparation for the 2008 competitive season in August confident of what I need to resolve to shift performance to the level required for me to step on the podium for both the World Championships (New Zealand) in January 2008 and ultimately the podium at the Olympic Games (China) in August 2008.
The World Championships in Takapuna, New Zealand will be a leading focus for both national main stream and international sailing media, this focus will provide excellent promotional opportunities for sponsors.
Subsequently I am seeking partners to take advantage of this unique opportunity.

I * There can be no doubt whatever that m the not far distant future tho products ■ of tho dairying industry will form one i of the principal classes of exports from this colony, and as thcro is almost a 1 world-wide market for butter and cheese there is no reason to fear that there can bo any such thing as over-production. Referring to the prospects which lie beforo our dairy fanners, our Wellington contemporary, tho ' l New Zealand limes" says: — "Many shrewd and far- seeing people confidently believe that the prosperous future of tho colony may bo summed up m two words ' butter ' and ' cheose.' Tho growing importanco of the New Zealand dairy industry is not at all adequately recognised by tho public generally. But it is nevertheless a great fact, and ono fraught with vast possibilities. The European demand for dairy produce is almost illimitable. Hardly any country m the whole world, certainly no country south of the Equator, enjoys such remarkable advantages as a dairying country as does New Zealand.' Boil, climate, natural features, everything is most favorable, and now that tho difficulty of transit to market has been ovorcomo by the introduction of 'cool chambers' m tho vessels plying between x^ew Zealand and Great Britain, the trade is bound to develop itself to an extent only limited by the amount of New Zealand's supplies. When it is remembered that there are m the colony already no fewer than four European buyers of dairy j produce, the magnitude of tho trade's future potentialities can hardly fail to suggest itself. It behoves those who aro engaged m pastoral or agricultural pursuits to recognise this plain fact — that dairying is to bo the colony's great industry of tho future, and to make their preparations accordingly, so that they may reap their due share of the prosperity which it will assuredly bring." All this is unquestionably true, and m order to establish on firm foundations a large and profitable export trado it is well that careful note should be take of all those conditions which make for success and thoso which make for failure. First and foremost it is necessary that the article produced should be of the finest quality and of even sample, and next it is indispensable that it should only be shipped m suitable packages, and under conditions which will ensure its reaching the market not only sound and good m quality but of an attractivo appearance, m the matter of butter thero could bo no bettef guido than tho methods employed by Danish y manufacturers whoso produce always commands tho highest market price, and as regards cheese a good deal might be learned from our American cousins whoso export trade to Great Britain and the continent of Europe runs into enormous figures, As regards Ganada, it appears that recently there has been a deterioration m the quality of the cheese produced notwithstanding that farmors havo been exorcising more caro m the management of the milk, aad tho fault appears to havo been traced to the " creameries " or dairy factories, being said to be duo to tho carelessness or parsimony of tho owners of the factories who often employ incompetent managers m ordor to avoid the payment of high salaries. 3 his proceeding ia, however, obviously tho reverse of true economy, and the lesson which it teaches is that if New Zealand is to succeed, as sho ought to succeed, m establishing a largo export m dairy productions the vory best talent must be employed m thoir manufacture, fcio far, only a few of our dairy factories have been ablo to show satisfactory finanolal results, but that is almost always tbo case m the initiatory stages of new industries ; and a steady persistence m the production of a first-class article and placing it m tho market m prime condition, will we are persuaded, result m the end m securing for New Zealand butter and cheese a premier position and eventually the command of prices which will well remunerate the producer and exporter.

Adventures with Jaap
Adventures abroad in Maastricht and other places with Jaap, the Dutchman.
About me
Sunday, June 10, 2012
A disappointing football match & a great 5K!
Today was a good follow up to yesterday's disappointing football match. We traveled to Utrecht to visit some of Jaap's friends. It was great day with fun company and lots of tall, orange people. Europe is experiencing some football fever. The
European Football Championship
started this Friday and Nederland's first match was yesterday. They lost to Denmark, but I still had fun watching the game with Jaap's friends. We went to a pub in Utrecht and I was surrounded by orange giants everywhere. I forget how tall Dutch people are!
Me, Angela & Billy
This morning was the Maastricht Mooiste. A race that starts and ends in the Markt for 5K, 10K, or 15K runners. This year I registered with my school board and colleagues, hence the yellow Mosalira running shirt. I ran a 5K and waited for my friend Angela to finish the 10K. It was the perfect day for a run.
Angela and I have started a tradition of finishing the race and having lunch on the Vrijthof afterwards. The perfect spot for watching the 15K runners close to the finish line. We did this last year and I think this will become an annual thing.
Later on Jaap and I took a stroll through the city and found some great live music. The city was alive today with happy runners and live music in the streets for Jekerjazz. (Jekerjazz are organized jazz weekends in Maastricht throughout the year). We found a group next to Café Pieter and pulled up some chairs. We've seen them before and they're fun to listen too. Another great afternoon in the sun!

Why did Shaun choose BlackBerry?..
My first Mobile Phone was the Nokia 2110 and have been hooked on mobiles ever since, While all my phones had been Nokia , my last Nokia was the N9, the best phone Nokia had created, it was the first smart phone that got rid of buttons and was gesture based, then the bombshell, Nokia decided to end all support of this great device,
I had tried iphone and Android and hated their operating systems, but in January2013 BlackBerry released the Z10 and had me hook line and sinker.
Blackberry has carried on from Meego, so simple yet so more advanced then their competitors. So for me it was a no brainer that I decided to go with a fantastic OS
Here is just a few reasons that made me to choose Blackberry 10
The Hub
Is awesome, This is where notifications from all sources are unified in one place, the sheer joy have not having to open up the app
Active Frames
True multitasking at its best, saving you time while going in and out of apps
In App notifications
Having a notification come through and reading and responding without coming out of the app.
The virtual keyboard uses a prediction engine powered by SwiftKey which makes suggestions based on personalized usage on a per-app basis. Suggested words appear above the next letter on the keyboard, and are picked by swiping up from that key
When you have a blackberry you take this for granted. But that's why Blackberry is so special and unique from their competitors

cute..lovely..and comfortable .. i wanna have one..
Particularly for girls use..
I want this fone soooo much!! a few girls i kno hav it n say its fab! i wish it wud cum out on meteor in pink tho, so far its only on o2 in that colour, guess i'll just hav 2 wait till its available on meteor i luv it!!! Irish gal XxX
the phone is good the peeps who fink it aint u mabie brought it seconed hand or somfing the phone is quality and very easy to use
yesh this phone is crap like every1 says. No memory!! only 3 songs!!! of a crap phone
This is a legendry phone better than any sony ericsson phone its got a flash for christ sake!!!!!!!!!!
I have this phone and I think it is awful. My phone is one of the first batch that Nokia released and it is full of bugs. My phone is on an O2 contract. Not long after I got my phone Nokia recalled all their 6111's to sort this out. As far as I know, Nokia rushed this phone out for Xmas last year knowing that there were faults. Some of the faults on my phone include:
- Speaker far too quiet
- Phone screen fades to white then turns off
- Phone turns off then on
- When writing a message, entire message will delete for no reason
I have sent my phone off to be repaired numerous times but it comes back just the same. However, I'm told that the newer 6111's are much better though all of these faults have not yet been totally ironed out. Hope this helps.
i have this phone it would be good if it had more memory but the cam is great
wel i just dont get it.Some pepz r sayin stuf lik the memory iz crap an the camera iz useles an other pepz r sayin stuf lik itz bril i luv camera iz fab etc. wich iz rite. not most of half of uz iz falty an da other half has a good fone. lik wich iz rite pleeeeez tel me. anyway ava already orderd it soooo itz 2 l8t bu just tel me anyway put me out of ma misery an a waz SOOOOOO lookin 4 dis fone XxXxXxXX
IRISH GIRL xXxXxXxXx
You people are just silly posting bad things about this phone, it's all your fault that it's broken down, you people should take better care for your phone.
I guess you people are just ungreatfull for what you have.
From Luke.
Every one who thinks this phone is bad or it has broken on you is because YOU and you only have not looked after it. this phone is probly one of the best on the market, its not nokia's fault that it has broke they wernt the one who have had the phone the past few months ot weeks, YOU have. So don't go blaming Nokia for your incompitance with the nokia 6111.
i am telling you dont get this phone! it has got a common fault of the screen breaking and goting whitebecause of the slide. it is a waste of money as nokia will not do nything bout it!
what a waste of money, spend £145 for a piece of rubbish,for a start when trying to use the phone book the phone keeps on switching off,when using mp3 player,the phone switches off.the phone was sent back to nokia repair centre witch took 4months to be repaired,then after all the waiting and bad customer services.I was sent back a phone that was 3 different colours pink,cream,and black and the one i brought was the pink 6111.my advise is dont waste money on the nokia 6111
Don't waste your money on this phone, is it rubbish!
It is cheap and nasty, i have had it for 6 months;
1. speaker is gone and i can not hear the person on the phone
2. it turns itself off and then bacl on again
3. camera quality is crap
4. you cannnot press the number '0' without it connecting to the internet
5. everytime you press the number '1' in dial voicmail...
I could go on for ages, it's basically crap..
I bought this phone and when I brought it home it was just an empty box and when I went back I got another and when I got it home it blew up. So I got another but it was fine.
I'm getting this phone for christmas and I was wondering how do you get the pictures from the phone to the computer? Is there a USB cable or some other way?
it looks good it is good i love it and im having it to i will dad wont i ????????????
well i got my this phone on our 3rd wedding anniversary from my hubby and i think its a great phone!! and i dont have to worry abt the memory as we can easily store our data on pc!! so why to worry abt memory etc! sound quality and camera quality is excellent i must say!! yes it is girlish phone!! after all why should boys have all the fun :P it is cute lovely phone, easy to handle. go for it !!!!

Circa 922
Circa 922 is located within the popular West Loop neighborhood of Chicago. The West Loop is one of Chicago's fastest growing submarkets. Circa 922 is in close proximity to Randolph Street's dining and commercial corridor, which features some of the best dining and shopping in the city. When completed, the project will consist of the 45 existing loft apartments within the 123 N. Sangamon Avenue building along with 104 new luxury apartments within the planned eleven-story 922 W. Washington Boulevard development. Combined, the 149 unit luxury apartment development ("Circa 922") will share access and amenities through a physical connection of the two buildings at the ground floor with various architectural links throughout the facade. Additionally, a secure, covered parking garage for the entire Circa 922 development will be included in the 922 W. Washington Boulevard building.
Overall the development will provide a unique mix of luxury apartments ranging from large loft units with exposed architectural precast and concrete columns to more contemporary luxury apartments ranging in size from studios to 3 bedroom units. The variety of unit types and amenities will cater to both young professionals who have inundated the neighborhood and the empty nesters who want the downtown Chicago experience along with the eclectic entertainment and dining offerings only found in the West Loop neighborhood.

(psst, don't forget to enter my AWESOME giveaway)
it's essentially a U shaped bean bag… I got a 1.5 cubic foot Beanbag top-up bag for £3.50 at QD (which is similar to Wilkinson's if you don't have one near you) google it and the Internet will furnish you with suppliers, but because it's a bulky thing it's better to look in craft shops/furniture shops to see if you can pick it up locally and avoid the P+P charges
The outer fabric needs to be sturdy, and I suggest you make covers (I haven't yet… ) of course once you've made your pattern it's the same pattern/method for making covers… I wouldn't even bother with closures to be honest, just make slipcovers like pillowcases.The fabric I used was old curtains I got from a carboot sale for £2… and I've still got a whole curtain left over for other baby projects 🙂
Everything else I used came out of my stash (well… the curtains were in my stash too… but that's because I'm a hoarder)
Total project price? £5.50
Price for a shiny new Boppy breastfeeding pillow? £49.99
That's a saving of £44.49
I win
Want your own? download or view the printable tutorial here
(have you entered my giveaway yet???)
NOTE: This is a scheduled post, I will respond to any comments/questions when I've finally had this baby!

Ramdev lauds Muslims for supporting International Yoga Day
Baba Ramdev lauded the Muslim nations and bodies extending support to the first International Day of Yoga scheduled to be held on July 21.punjab Updated: Jun 15, 2015 16:13 IST
Ramdev lauded the Muslim nations and bodies extending support to the first International Day of Yoga scheduled to be held on July 21.
United Nations General Assembly last year had declared June 21 as International Day of Yoga after the resolution of Indian government was supported by more than 177 nations of which 47 were Muslim countries.
Talking on the sidelines of the two-day preparatory session held at Sector 3 Tau Devi Lal Stadium in Panchkula Ramdev, said: "Yoga has nothing to do with religion and I am grateful that so many Muslim countries supported our resolution." He added that a large number of Muslim bodies across the country will be part of the International Yoga Day.
Various Muslim groups have been opposing Surya Namaskar and recitation of Om mantra while performing yoga asanas.
Clearing the air on the controversy surrounding Ramdev said Surya Namaskar is just an exercise meant for physical fitness and it not related to any religion. He clarified that it can be without use of any mantra or facing towards sun. "I have never asked anyone to perform this exercise while facing sun and reciting mantras," stressed Ramdev.
On recitation of Om mantra, he maintained that OM is just a word of Sanskrit and language has no relation with religion. He termed it as a divine voice.
Ramdev said Yoga is our heritage passed on to us by our ancestors. "It's a moment of great pride for all the Indian that their heritage will be celebrated across the world," said Ramdev.
Swami Ramdev said that today about 700 crore people in the world have started understanding Yoga. He said that Yoga not only brings concentration but also cures various deadly diseases adding that the success of Yoga depends on four factors including method, timing, continuity and concentration.

June 6 - Lisa's Musings (on tornados) and Every Day Life
Last night was nothing short of scary.
I was watching a DVRed version of "Glee," catching up before the season finale this week when I heard the warning sirens in Chelsea last night.
I know what that means.
So I immediately flipped to Fox News and the weatherman was reporting minute-to-minute updates, telling viewers that Manchester was under a tornado watch. That's a little too close for comfort.
Now, we've had tornado warnings before, but this is the first watch I can remember in a while.
A watch means keep an eye out, bad weather's possible. A warning means look out, the conditions are favorable for bad weather to happen.
Translated -- head to the basement and hope your card hasn't been played and the twister skips your house.
For someone who has lived through a tornado's wrath on their property, I was scared as sacred could be. Looking at those spots where red touched green on the weather map didn't help, either.
My friends laugh at me when I head for the basement during storms and bad weather but let me tell you when you've experienced a tornado, you really appreciate it in a way that watching the aftermath on TV doesn't show you.
It was Labor Day in Virginia and I'd just gotten back from a trip. I was all snuggled in my bed with two dogs when I heard the roar. It's described as a freight train. And, it's kinda like that, fierce, whirring, whooshing and LOUD. Once you've heard it, you never forget that sound.
But what I also heard was the cracking and destruction of trees and buildings on my property as they were taken by the tornado. There wasn't a darn thing I could do but hug the dogs, ride it out, and hope and pray that we'd survive.
I was living in a log cabin with no basement at the time.
The tornado seemed to last minutes, but in reality, they move so fast that it was probably mere seconds.
After all the ripping and tearing and whooshing, there was silence. Complete, you-could-hear-a pin-drop quiet. Like the property and its creatures were waking up from a deep sleep.
Since it was in the middle of the night, I couldn't really access the damage until daybreak and I must have fallen asleep after that, because what I remember next was the phone ringing -- it was my dad.
He'd been watching the weather channel and saw that a tornado had touched down in Danville, VA, and he wanted to make sure I was OK.
Even though the sun was up, there was still an eerie silence. I looked out the window and saw that one of the empty chicken buildings was gone and another was badly damaged. Then I saw the path in the woods behind the property with felled trees everywhere.
What I didn't see until I went outside was that a huge tree had been uprooted and felled, thankfully away from the house, but it flattened one side of the chain link fence in the dog yard.
Had that tree fallen the other way, I wouldn't be writing this blog. It would have taken out the corner of the house I'd been in. In fact, it probably would have flattened my entire 900-square foot cabin. It was a BIG tree.
So, after surviving one tornado, I'd prefer to never experience another one, thank you very much.
You'll just have to excuse my extreme caution when bad weather's on the way.
And laugh all you will, but one of the things I looked for when I bought this house was a basement.
I was really glad to have one to serve as my panic room last night.
And that my card was still somewhere in the deck, hopefully at the bottom somewhere.
