Victoria has a wonderful downtown. Old brick buildings with funky shops, and some really old buildings that pre-dated the brick. We walked around quite a bit, usually down Government street, or on the Harbour. There's some lovely markets down Government near the Harbour. Just walking around the old buildings and funky shops in front of the ocean was great. The Empress Hotel is a wonderful building. My dad had worked thier as a bus boy and waiter, serving tea.. etc. It has vines growing and crawling all over the building, parts of it are reminiscent of a giant, detailed tree sculpture. The parliament buildings are magnificent. They are regal and ancient, elaborate and wide.
A couple days in, we decided to drive up to Point-no-Point, a little teahouse and resortish thing north of Sooke. We had some lovely tea, over-looking the green, bold hills that dipped into the ocean. We went for a walk down to the beach. It was raining and grey, and I managed to get some good pictures. There were black rocks along the sea, and you could see hills in the distance. It was absolutly beautiful. Complete magic.
It was a wonderful trip, overall. I fully recommend Victoria as a great Canadian travel destination.
Here are some pictures from the trip:
A lovely bench, I captured and photoshopped.
Black rocks on the point-no-point beach.
Victoria Parliament buildings.
My brother on the breakwater.
Some silly bagpipers in full costume, after the rainy "Victoria Day Parade"

I started reading this book tonight. After having read only a fourth of it, I already know that it is a book that will be shared often. In it, he writes of his grieving process: "The decision to face the darkness, even if it led to overwhelming pain, showed me that the experience of loss itself does not have to be the defining moment of our lives. Instead, the defining moment can be our response to the loss. It is not what happens to us that matters as much as what happens in us. Darkness, it is true, had invaded my soul. But then again, so did light (p. 45)."
As of now, we are planning on driving to Albuquerque later this week. There are people we need to see, and we feel the need to go. It is where our baby lived, and because of that there are so many sweet memories mixed in with the sad. Visiting that city and taking Caleb along with us will be part of our healing process...part of our "plunging into the darkness..." that we might someday reach the sunrise.
Thank you for praying for us.
This new story on my beautiful cousin, Andrea, aired last night in Indiana. Andrea's smile and story reflect the beauty and goodness of the Lord, and I highly encourage you to watch it. Please pray for her, Mike (her husband), Lydia (her daughter), and Steve and Sandi (her parents) as she transitions to a longer term rehab hospital in Michigan.
Thank you.

Routes into a Theatre career - Blog by Jake Castle
I am a 22-year-old Theatre arts student originally from Essex who is a self-confessed theatre nerd. I tend to spend my free time when not working, going to the theatre, to see the wonderful theatre on offer at Derby. My overall aim is to be a theatre director specialising in making theatre accessible to all.
My current role on Front of House covers a range of things you would expect in the role such as ushering, but also working behind the bar and café. When there are school shows, I am outside in my tremendous bright green high-vis jacket, directing coach loads of school children into the theatre. There is something wonderful about the variety of one day ushering a gripping thriller that has you on the edge of your seat, and the next, to be flamboyantly steaming milk for a customer's one shot-dry-skinny-extra-hot-caramel-cappuccino with chocolate sprinkles.
Some may say it is luck, others may say you put yourself in the right position to create your own luck. Having become rather acquainted with the theatre through studying at the University of Derby and seeing the majority of studio shows, I was certainly aware of Derby Theatre.
Having had a fantastic time volunteering for Departure Lounge in 2016, I actively found myself seeking out vacancies within Derby Theatre. Upon looking I found there was a position on Box Office which naturally I applied for just wanting to be in the folds of the theatre. I did not get the job but I contacted the House Manager, who happened to be a wonderful lady who I had worked with on Departure Lounge, to see if there was anything on offer. And that is how I got my current job on Front of House!
I would have to say my favourite part of the job is the ability to hear first-hand what the audience thinks of the show, being taken on that journey with them, being on the front line hearing their enjoyment. For me personally, as soppy as it may sound, it really brings a sense of pride to know I have been on that journey with them over the course of the evening.
Although I am still very much as the start of my theatrical career, and so I possibly can't give the greatest advice, what I can say though is that just grab every opportunity you can. From my short time at Derby Theatre I have had several opportunities come my way that has on a professional level furthered my career - just based upon being open and saying yes. I am a strong believer that you can't be in an industry unless you know that industry, and so what better way to know it than to keep your finger on the pulse and see where the theatrical scene is at the moment.
The most important thing I have learnt from working at Derby Theatre is that going to the theatre is often an event for people. It maybe a cold miserable Tuesday evening for you, but for those people, they have spent their hard earned money to visit the theatre and so you have to make it memorable for them. This is a something I have learnt that I have taken to my own work in creating theatre, acknowledging that whilst theatre is just playing pretend much as children do, it does come with a sense of responsibility to do it justice for its audience.

Flint Water Crisis: Tests Detect Random Lead Spikes
Even though the quality of Flint water has been improving, tests that have been taking place detect above normal levels of lead in some cases. The high levels of lead are detected at random in some homes, so the water cannot yet be confirmed safe for drinking until such lead spikes are no more. Flint water crisis started when the source of water was switched from Detroit water system to Flint River water that corroded aging pipes and leached out lead. Detroit Water and Sewerage Department gets water from Lake Huron and adhered to strict water treatment processes in accordance to existing regulations. The highly corrosive Flint River water was not treated to the standards required because in addition to leaching lead from old pipes also contained other contaminants.
Although the source of water for Flint city was switched back to Detroit Water and Sewerage Department, that couldn't guarantee an immediate solution to the Flint water crisis. The corrosive water from Flint River had pulled far too much lead from aging pipes and a lot of it still continues to flake off into the water in a random manner. Lead service lines will still need to be replaced and a variety of measures taken until tests confirm lead levels in the water to be normal. That leaves Flint residents with no other option than to use bottled water or at least filtered water.
Three government officials deemed to have been responsive for the water crisis in Flint have already been charged in court amid some claims of falsified evidence. Residents still demand for more people to be charged in connection to contributing to the water problems in Flint. At some point authorities continued to insist the water pumped to Flint homes was safe for drinking even when a certain research had already confirmed that not to be the case. So it took much long before the city was connected back to the water from Lake Huron. Many people have been affected by lead poisoning with the number of children that may suffer serious health conditions estimated to be up to 12,000.
As the problem with water pumped to homes in Flint appears to continue being a threat for unknown period of time, it is important for everyone in Michigan to take any steps they can to help even in terms of awareness. Use of filtered or bottled water has to continue being encouraged until tests completely confirm the safety of drinking water in Flint homes. The unity of people across the state on this issue is paramount, including support for different critical interventions and ongoing legal processes. Support any efforts geared towards helping the unknown number of people affected by lead poisoning in Flint. You could find appropriately themed Michigan t-shirts or MI Apparel that you could wear to enhance awareness and express the pride of being a Michigander helping fellow Michiganders. I recommend you check some at Livnfresh.com and be part of the efforts to help in any way you can during this crisis.

|Ultra dense small cell networks was proposed for the explosive growth of data traffic demand. However, it causes empty cells which is only interfering UEs and not serving UEs because they do not have any associated UEs. In this paper, we investigate the empty cell problem based on system level simulation and propose a dual layer on/off strategy to solve the emptycellproblem.Systemlevelsimulationresultsverifythatthe proposed scheme achieves a performance enhancement in terms of capacity compared with the conventional ultra dense small cell networks.

For centuries, Akoya pearls have been worn by royalty and treasured by the human race in general. Today, this variety of saltwater pearl is the most popular, and people worldwide wear, treasure and pass on Akoya pearl jewelry to future generations. How did this rare pearl become so common?
In 1888, Kokiche Mikimoto, the son of a noodle shop owner, started his first pearl farm. He had a vision to, "adorn the necks of all the women around the world with pearls." He began working to invent and perfect the process of culturing pearls, and in 1893, he succeeded in extracting his first perfectly round cultured pearl from an Akoya oyster.
Of course, one cultured pearl isn't enough to start an industry. Kokiche Mikimoto continued his work producing cultured pearls and improving upon his process. In 1897, he introduced his cultured pearls at an exposition in Norway and began exporting them. At this point, his cultured pearls still didn't meet the quality of natural pearls, but in 1909, that changed. Mikimoto continued to grow his industry, and in the 1920s, his company achieved status as a large-scale commercial pearl harvester.
Today, cultured Akoya pearls come from Mikimoto's native Japan as well as China, Vietnam, Thailand and Australia. They are popular for their natural luster and round shape, which makes them particularly useful to jewelers.
Since Kokiche Mikimoto, the Pearl King, first had his vision of supplying all the women of the world with pearls, the pearl industry has boomed. Jewelry lovers worldwide enjoy wearing Akoya pearl earrings, necklaces, bracelets and more. The process of culturing pearls has made these luxury items available to average people as well as to royalty and those with considerable wealth.
The average Akoya pearl ranges from 4mm to about 9mm, but larger ones can be found. See the sizing chart here. Although rare, the larger saltwater pearls make stunning jewelry pieces and can be found at affordable prices here at The Pearl Source.
If you're looking for a stunning piece of jewelry to wear to a special event or need to buy a gift for someone special, consider jewelry made from Akoya pearls. These luxuriously beautiful pearls add a sophisticated air to any look and can be worn with a sweater and jeans as well as with a cocktail dress. Kokiche Mikimoto had the right idea all along, and his dream to bring pearls to the women of the world is still being carried out today. Nothing else can match the elegance and versatility of jewelry crafted from these pearls.
She has been involved in various Creative Projects at The Pearl Source and is a keen blogger.

Southampton has played a vital and integral role in this country's many wars over the years, from the Hundred Years' War when Henry V led his men through the Westgate en route to Agincourt, to the World Wars of the 20th century when millions upon millions of men passed through the town. In the First World War alone, 8,149,685 soldiers from every corner of the globe passed through Southampton.
To sustain the liberation of Europe in the months after D-Day, Southampton was used continously to transport more troops and equipment over to France and beyond. Each American soldier who passed through the port would pass through a counting machine and on the 25th of October 1944 the machine ticked over to 1,000,000.
Private Paul Shimer Jr, from Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, was the soldier who made history. He was pulled aside and presented with a placard that read 'The Millionth Yank' as he posed for a photo with Southampton's mayor, Rex Stranger.
To show the large scale in which the Americans passed through the port, the 'Two Millionth Yank' passed through Southampton on the 16th of January 1945, less than three months later.
Paul Shimer Jr was promoted to Sergeant and was wounded in that month, January 1945. He was awarded the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star for his bravery.
Tragically, Sergeant Paul Shimer Jr was killed in action on the 14th of April 1945, less than a month before the war in Europe ended. He is buried in the Lorraine American Cemetery near Saint-Avold in the north-east of France.
The story doesn't end there, however. In 1947, Southampton's war-time mayor Rex Stranger visited Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, with his wife, in order to visit the Shimer family and pay his respects to the man he had met back in 1944. Rex Stranger and his wife decided to place £1000 in a trust fund for Paul Shimer's six year old daughter's education. In return, the people of Chambersburg raised $3000 for Rex Stranger to give to charities in England, and they also gave him a crate of apples for the schoolchildren of Southampton.

Aug 1st, on the brink of killing themself.
Aug 2nd, they were in a fight with a mutual friend and asked me to talk to them, I ended up fighting with them too.
Had a group meetup planned for Christmas, I wouldn't be able to go due to medical issues. She fought me and called me selfish and then was on the brink of killing herself again.
Aug 3rd, an event we had scheduled they said they didn't want to go to because it gave them anxiety (after they had confirmed to go.)
Every time we see each other we hangout and watch movies, this time they wanted to bake a cake, I didn't want to. They fought me calling me selfish and saying all I wanted to do was lay around and be lazy with them.
Aug 4th, we were supposed to meet up, she overslept and we ended up not getting together because she was going to be too late.
Aug 5th, we had planned to go to an event all day together, my friend had managed to get her and me a free ticket. She then remembered she had an old friend coming into town so she asked me if I had another ticket for her, then when I said I didn't, she asked if I could get her one.
Aug 6th, when I offered to buy them something they said yes and then had me buy something for all of their friends. It only ended up being like $10. But I make very little money.
we were going to the event the next day, and we both had to have specific outfits. They got the wrong color and we almost didn't go. They tried to partially pin it on me.
that night asked if I could give them money for their friend from out of town. (Apologized for asking a little bit after.)
Aug 7th, overslept and was late for the event.
Aug 14th, I asked if they wouldn't mind deleting a picture they had posted on social media and they fought me for hours on it.
Most Helpful Girl
She sounds like a very toxic person. I would break up as much as it sucks. The whole killing herself thing, if she mentioned it one more time I would have to tell her parents or anyone who is close to her who could help her, just in case she isn't being manipulative and more so means it. It's not worth the fights and scares if you dont feel good about it anymore. You obviously dont if you are on here asking us, so take a deep breath and really think about it... I would been done with it. Good luck!
Thank you for your pick :) I hope it worked out
Most Helpful Guy
That's quite the turmoil you're dealing with buddy. It's not worth it to keep holding to someone who you are constantly arguing or having an issue with no matter how much you may care about them. It's putting unwanted and unneeded stress on you physically and mentally. You don't want to keep going down that road trust me. I used to hang on for as long as I could, finding any reason to keep me with my partner. One day I realized it's not worth the pain. You have to know when it's time to let go. I know you're holding out for a moment or something that will make it go away and make you two happy again, but odds are, it probably won't come. I know I sound cynical, and maybe it bothers you that I'm telling you this, but I really do want to help you. I know it may not seem like it, but once you do let go, you'll feel better. You'll feel better for the first bit, then it'll come crashing down on you for a short while, but you'll realize that the days turn to weeks and the weeks turn to months. Pretty soon you'll wake up ready to try again with someone new. If you'd like to keep up the conversation, feel free to message me! I hope I've been of some assistance.

Engineer Tory Travers reluctantly worked with police detective David Alvarez in Engineered for Murder to determine who wanted to kill her so badly that either a bullet or a wrecking ball would suffice. Then, in Framework for Death, she helped Alvarez uncover the cause of a residential structural collapse concealing two bodies. Now Tory needs David's help again when she discovers a woman's body has been stuffed in a manhole while she's inspecting a community development site -- and she wants to help in order to speed things up: the city officials who contracted her company to inspect the storm sewers will undoubtedly hold up her check until after the case has been solved.

Answers are few and far between when El Paso Police Detective David Alvarez is called to investigate an unexplained collapse in the residence of an affluent matron. When Alvarez calls in engineer Tory Travers to figure out what happened to cause the collapse, the media turns the case into a circus. Soon Alvarez is dealing with an alleged drug king, his DEA shadow, a mystery woman who unapologetically works outside the law, and Tory's inclination to go searching for solutions on her own. While Tory and her foreman look for the builder of the secret room, her son and the infant son of Alvarez's partner are threatened if they don't drop the case.

A Holy War or Jihad has been declared, changing life for everyone. Two women engineers suddenly find themselves drawn into this international drama as they struggle to complete the world's first nuclear-powered aircraft. Their muddled private lives add to the tension. Tisha O'Brien has an abiding faith in God, and "those roots of middy blouses and pleated skirts, prayer books and incense-filled churches went deep." This faith is tested when she falls in love with a married man. Audra Shields sees herself as a modern Lady Chatterly, "liberated but not forsaking breeding, intellect, or femininity." She begins to question her lifestyle when she becomes involved with a dangerous stranger. Both women struggle to sort out their personal problems while racing the clock to finish a project fraught with sabotage and murder.

As Newsarama reported Saturday, Editor Dave Dunbier has announced that "IDW will publish The Complete Rocketeer, which will collect all of the Dave Stevens Rocketeer comics, completely recolored by Laura Martin, who was the late Dave Steven's personal choice for the project. Stevens, who wasn't happy with the original coloring on the project kept most of the original pages, and knew where the others were if he ever needed them. IDW will also publish a deluxe version of the collection in an 8" x 12" format which will include over 10 pages of supplemental material that has rarely been seen. 'The hope is to make this the book that Dave always wanted it to be,' Dunbier said."
This is among the best comics related news I've heard so far this year — or as Cliff might put it, "I like it!" Dave Stevens and the Rocketeer have been deserving of a special project like this for a heck of a long time so, please, do yourself a favor and look to the skies for The Complete Rocketeer when it blasts your way later this October.

In response to Ronan Farrow's MSNBC Talk Show Already Facing Cancellation Due To Poor Ratings:
Poor guy. I think I caught a glimpse of his show last week, during a short stint on the Stairmaster at my gym.
Does anyone else think that MSNBC is desperate to find someone to salvage their fledgling liberal news network? Of all the crazy, yet somewhat intelligent Liberals out there, they this lightweight wonder just because he has famous parents.
Debbie, of course we should pile on, MSNBC and the rest of the Libs would pile on if Farrow was Republican, or if Clint Eastwood's son, or some other famous Republican-leaning offspring, was his very "light loafers."

looks great w/o the stripes
After various sets of stripes I found them to be very similar to where I started. I also created a set where I had pinstripes in groups of three. But the text strangely lost itself on the invite became washed out almost. So instead of fighting it I decided to see where it wanted to go instead. And there is where it lead me. Let me know. And thanks again.
the roses are adorable! the stripes feel very broad and bold - it's commanding most of the attention. perhaps thinner or less contrast might work.
HAHA! I was wondering about that. I'll get to working on them and how it goes. Thanks again!
I agree with Amy. I love the roses! I would like to see the background echo the delicacy of the roses . . . looking forward to seeing where this goes!!

Wonder Woman is off to a good start at the domestic box office.
According to Box Office Mojo, the Gal Gadot-led DC motion picture picked up an impressive $11 million in the box office on Thursday night. That makes Wonder Woman 2017's third-highest-grossing film in terms of North American preview numbers. It only trails Beauty and the Beast ($16.3 million) and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 ($17 million).
The box office projections say that Wonder Woman is expected to bring in $100 million this weekend, which would certainly put the film, directed by Patty Jenkins, on track to be a major commercial success. The film's also off to a strong start internationally, having made an an estimated $18.7 million in its foreign debut.
Additionally Wonder Woman is doing well critically thus far. Read IGN's Wonder Woman review to find out why we believe Warner Bros.' latest superhero movie "is leaps and bounds above the other three entries in the DCEU."

Myths About Santa Cruz Real Estate Short Sales
Posted by Lauren Spencer on Saturday, February 16th, 2013 at 1:01am.
There is a lot of misleading and incorrect information out there when it comes to Santa Cruz real estate short sales. Most people don't have a clear understanding of the purpose of short sales or how they actually work.
Essentially, a short sale is when you sell your home for less than the balance remaining on your mortgage. The proceeds from the sale are used to repay a portion of the balance. A short sale can be a solution for homeowners who really need to sell their home but owe more on the mortgage than the home is worth.
Understanding the short sale process can help you to get the most out of your Santa Cruz real estate sale. Below are some common myths and why they are false.
A short sale damages your credit record as much as foreclosure
A short sale is actually less damaging to your credit record than a foreclosure because it shows future lenders that you acted in a responsible manner. You sold the home for as much as possible and settled the debt rather than simply walking away from the situation. Opting for foreclosure is seen as a lack of responsibility.
To qualify for a short sale you must be behind on payments
This might have been true in the past, but it's not anymore. You just need to be able to prove that you are in financial hardship, which could be due to death in the family, divorce, job loss, mortgage rate hike or even loss of property value.
After a short sale you can't buy again for five to seven years
This is true in some cases, but not all. In certain situations the waiting period can be as low as two or three years before you are allowed to purchase another home. Speak with an attorney if you're in the market to buy again.
These are just a few examples of commonly believed short sale myths. It helps to have an experienced agent with expertise in short sales to provide you with the correct information about the process.
