The toll in the nationwide fungal meningitis outbreak has risen to 14 dead and 155 sickened across 11 states, linked to a tainted back pain treatment from a Massachusetts compounding facility. Health officials continue to investigate the cause, with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reporting Thursday that some 14,000 patients in 23 states have been injected with the potentially tainted steroid, which was recalled last week.
Here's a closer look at the state of the outbreak.
What is meningitis?
Meningitis is an infection that causes inflammation of the meninges, the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord. The infection can be viral, bacterial or fungal. Those who have become sick as a result of the recent outbreak are suffering from a fungal variety.
Fungal meningitis is extremely rare, though it can be caused by spores commonly found in the environment. Thus far, laboratory testing by the CDC has identified the fungus Exserohilum in 10 infected people and Aspergillus in one other person.
Is fungal meningitis contagious?
No, the infection can't travel from person to person. The fungus infects people once it's injected into the central nervous system.

A New Mexico State university faculty member is helping improve the lives of villagers in Afghanistan through his role in the erection of a windmill in a village in Afghanistan.
Craig Runyan, NMSU extension water resource specialist, traveled to Afghanistan to install irrigation systems as part of the NMSU-led Afghanistan Water, Agriculture and Technology Transfer program.
While there, Runyan worked for several days with the South Carolina National Guard Agricultural Development Team on an irrigation project. The SC-ADT also showed interest in obtaining and establishing a windmill demonstration unit.
Windmills are a proven, durable and low-maintenance technology. They are ideal for Afghanistan, because many places around the country do not have electricity, and fossil fuels are very expensive.
A non-profit organization donated $5,000 to go toward a windmill and the Aermotor Windmill Company agreed to donate the rest of the amount needed for a windmill. The company also took care of shipping the windmill to the soldiers in Afghanistan.
When the South Carolina National Guard finished its tour of duty in August, their replacement unit from Nevada agreed to continue with the windmill project.
The Nevada unit successfully installed the windmill at a provincial agricultural center. Runyan assisted the Nevada National Guard team through e-mail during the installation. The windmill is helping provide clean drinking water and irrigation water for the villagers and the center. Requests for advice and assistance with similar projects have since come to Aermotor and Runyan from other military units in Afghanistan.
"One of the biggest things I got out of this trip was seeing the dedication the soldiers have to their mission," Runyan said. "I feel lucky to be connected to this project. It's a very honorable mission."
Because they are still a viable energy means, NMSU recognizes the need for education about windmills and maintains expertise in windmill technology.
In fact, NMSU is a leader of windmill technology in the nation, and is the only institution to offer a hands-on instruction program. Participants from around the world attend the windmill workshop, which is held in May. NMSU's partnership with Aermotor allows for sales representatives and service technicians to attend the workshop to provide training and materials.
For more information about the windmill project in Afghanistan contact Runyan at 575-646-1131.

During my holiday shopping I've noticed that coloring books for grown-ups appear to be popular at Barnes and Noble and other stores this year. My sister, knowing I'm obsessed with Disney's Frozen, bought me a Frozen Art Therapy book for my birthday a couple weeks ago. I've enjoyed coloring in the designs a little at a time. It brings out the kid in me, who makes up rules like, "I want to try and use every color of marker in the package I got with this at some point so that none of them 'feel left out,' " and I've found it to be a much better alternative than turning to social media when I need a break. It's been a great excuse to disconnect from the bright screens of my electronics, and to mentally separate from the internet and all its background noise completely for little chunks of time. Today I'm sharing some of the Art Therapy coloring that I've worked on just for fun.
I love the flowery, wintery designs.
There's surprisingly a lot you can do with only 20 colors. That might sound like a lot of colors, but really, there's only two shades of red, three shades of blue, and limited shades of everything basic in that packet of Cra-Z-Art markers.
I picked up some fine-tipped pens to fill in the smaller details.
I think my favorite part of this Frozen book is the sisters theme throughout, reminding me that my favorite (and only) sister gave this to me because she loves me and happens to be brilliantly thoughtful. Kind of sappy, I know…but some things are worth melting for. 🙂

Ukraine broadens offensive against insurgents as military observers released
Ukraine resumed a military offensive against pro-Russian forces in the country's east on Saturday, as military observers from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe who were held for more than a week were released.
Interior Minister Arsen Avakov said Ukrainian forces had seized control of a television tower in Kramatorsk, near the rebel stronghold of Slovyansk where at least three were killed in fighting on Friday, Reuters reported.
"We are not stopping," Avakov wrote on his Facebook page early Saturday.
News reports claimed additional fighting broke out in the city of Kramatorsk, south of Slovyansk, on Saturday.
Tensions were especially high after at least 42 people died in clashes between government supporters and opponents in the Black Sea port of Odessa on Friday. The clash began with street fighting between two sides in which at least three people were reported killed by gunfire, then turned into a grisly conflagration when government opponents took refuge in a building that caught fire after protesters threw firebombs inside.
The city's police chief, Petr Lutsyuk, issued a statement calling for calm in the city of about 1 million, but hours later he was fired by Avakov.
There were also signs of a desire for revenge. A page appeared on Vkontakte, a Russian analogue of Facebook, showing photos and stating home addresses of people allegedly responsible for the fire deaths. In Donetsk, the largest city in the insurgent east, demonstrators who stormed the local office of the Ukrainian Security Service on Saturday shouted, "We will not forgive Odessa."
Peskov, the spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin, said the bloodshed demonstrated the acting government's tolerance of or collusion with nationalist extremists and had driven efforts to resolve the crisis into a dead end.
Russia's Foreign Ministry said the fatal fire was "yet another manifestation of the criminal irresponsibility of the Kiev authorities who indulge insolent radical nationalists ... which are engaging in a campaign of physical terror" against those in Ukraine who want more autonomy for the pro-Moscow regions.
Meanwhile, insurgent leader Vyacheslav Ponomarev announced Saturday that all seven military observers and their five Ukrainian assistants had been released.
The observers were seized on April 25 in the city of Slovyansk, the epicenter of eastern Ukraine's unrest, as they traveled with an Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe observer team. The insurgents said they possessed unspecified suspicious material and alleged they were spying for NATO.
An observer from Sweden was also seized as part of the team, but was released earlier. Unlike the other observers' countries, Sweden is not a member of NATO.
One of the observers, German Col. Axel Schneider, told The Associated Press that all 12 of the detainees held up well.
"They had a very good attitude and that gave them the strength to stand the situation," he said.
Those held included three other Germans and one soldier each from Poland, Denmark and the Czech Republic.
Oleksandr Turchynov, Ukraine's acting president, said many insurgents were killed or wounded Friday in the eastern offensive that also underlined the military's vulnerability. The military action came two days after Kiev said it had lost control of eastern Ukraine.
Both sides said two Ukrainian helicopters were shot down by the insurgents near Slovyansk, killing two crew members, while authorities said another seven people also died: three separatist gunmen, two soldiers and two civilians.
By nightfall, Ukrainian troops and armored personnel carriers blocked all major roads into Slovyansk, and the central part of the city remained in the hands of pro-Russia gunmen, according to Associated Press journalists inside. Most shops were closed, and the few that were open were crowded with customers stocking up on supplies.
Sporadic gunfire was heard in Slovyansk's downtown late Friday, while Russian news reports said there were armed clashes in Kramatorsk. There was no immediate independent confirmation of fighting.
The Ukrainian Security Service said one helicopter was downed with a surface-to-air missile, adding that the sophisticated weapon undercut Russia's claims the city of 125,000 people was simply under the control of armed locals.
"Ukrainian security forces so far are not ready for large-scale military actions; moreover, such actions could provoke Russia's invasion," said Kiev-based political analyst Volodymyr Fesenko.
Russia has massed tens of thousands of troops in areas near Ukraine's border. Kiev claims Moscow is preparing to invade and that it is fomenting the unrest in the east, where insurgents have seized government buildings in about a dozen cities and towns. The Kremlin denies the allegations, but Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has warned Russia would respond to attacks on its citizens or interests in the east.
In Washington, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and President Obama warned that Russia could be hit by new sanctions from the U.S. and the European Union if it continues disruptive actions in Ukraine. Previous sanctions are showing signs of significant effect on the Russian economy.
Slovyansk is strategically key because Ukraine has a huge stockpile of automatic rifles and other light weapons near the city, according to a commentary Friday for Britain's Royal United Services Institute defense think-tank.
"Today, Kiev has upped the ante in the standoff and will test Russian resolve to prevent the Ukrainian government from regaining control of the city and its light weapons stockpile," the think-tank authors wrote.
At Russia's request, the U.N. Security Council met in an emergency session Friday on Ukraine.
Russian ambassador Vitaly Churkin demanded a "swift halt of all violence," but Western powers scoffed at his country's indignation.
"Russia ... has released bands of thugs on Ukraine ... and is suddenly discovering this mixture might escape its control," French ambassador Gerard Araud said.
Ukraine, a nation of 46 million, is torn between those in the west who favor closer ties with Europe and many Russian-speakers in the east who look toward Moscow. Separatists who have seized government buildings in at least 10 eastern cities amid fears that Moscow is seeking a pretext to invade or annex more territory like it did with Ukraine's Black Sea peninsula of Crimea in March.
The peace deal in Geneva last month aimed to get those who had seized government buildings in Ukraine to leave and calm down the tensions that have prompted the United States and the European Union to slap Russia with rounds of sanctions.
The Russian Foreign Ministry accused Ukraine's government of using "terrorists" from ultranationalist organizations for Friday's military operation. It also claimed that Kiev deployed tanks and helicopters that were "conducting missile strikes on protesters," something that neither side in Ukraine reported.
Russia also cited insurgents in Ukraine as saying that some of the government attackers spoke English — an insinuation that the Ukrainian military was getting help from the West.
Kiev's interim government came to power after Yanukovych fled, drummed out by months of anti-government protests. Ukraine plans to hold a presidential election on May 25.

Why do an MBA - Master of Business Administration?
Why do an MBA?
Global economic recession in 2008-09 and the aftermath of which reduced job offers to fresh management graduates to a great extent have raised serious concerns about the outlook of management education. Although the economic scenario changed somewhat and the job market leaped back to normalcy over 2010-11, the scenario is again looking a bit bleak with the crisis in Europe deepening and outlook of Indian investments looking unattractive due to so called policy paralysis, inappropriate legislations and scams.
So the question, "why do an MBA"?
MBA is still the most common qualification for a corporate job
MBA is still by far the most common denominator for being qualified for a job in most of the functions in an organization across any industry segment, may be with certain exceptions in case of core sector industries like steel, cement, and infrastructure. But even in these core sector industries, for senior management positions in any function, preference is given to people with MBA degrees. In the rapidly developing service sectors in India like Banking and Financial Services, Retail and Telecommunication, an MBA is a good qualification to get a preference.
MBAs understand the language of business
MBAs get preferences over other qualifications in corporate jobs across most of the industry domain because MBAs understand the language of business. In most of the functions, which are keys to survival for an organization in any industry domain, understanding of the language of business is very important. Functions like Marketing, Human Resources Management and Finance Management are keys to survival of an organization. This does not mean that production and operations are less important. But at least in Marketing and Human Resources Management, MBA is an essential qualification. Finance functions can do with CAs but then again there are not enough CAs to fill in the huge requirement of finance professionals in the country.
By language of business, I mean certain particular terms and concepts which are essential for one to know in managing a business appropriately. By business here, I mean large scale businesses. A small businessman can do without these business terms and concepts but managers of large scale businesses can't. Terms and concepts like branding, ROI, marginal cost, value, product life cycle, retention, and net worth are essential in running such businesses and these are not understood well by non-MBAs.
MBA curricula develop self-belief
An appropriate MBA curriculum also helps develop self-belief in MBAs. Self-belief is key to individual success. Without self-belief, competencies and skills may fail. This is an adage which is true for ages. In the corporate jungle where everyone fights for survival, a large dose of self-belief and self-confidence see one through. In a good MBA classroom, a student is compelled to compete with one another in a healthy fashion. A student has to make presentations in front of other students and convince them about a concept or solutions to a case study. A student's communication skills are constantly honed through numerous presentations.
MBA curricula develop abilities to work in a team
Survival in a corporate job also requires one to be able to work in teams. A good MBA curriculum necessitates a student to work in study groups. Study groups typically consist of students from varied background and varied personalities. Working in such study groups for almost two years shapes up a student's team working abilities. Abilities to work in a team successfully require one to understand others; be sensitive to others' mindsets and opinion; resolve conflicts without putting anybody down; and overall showing camaraderie to others. A good MBA curriculum helps one to develop these abilities.
MBA curricula expands horizons
An appropriate MBA curriculum expands a student's perspectives of socio-economic situations. A good MBA graduate is a person who understands the world's social, economic and political scenario and understands how all these affect business decisions. MBA curriculum hones one's analytical and logical deductive abilities. These develop one's decision making abilities.
Very few qualifications can develop your abilities like the ones I have written above which an MBA helps to develop. The bottom line is MBA is still by far the best bet for securing a great career. Careers in many other areas could be very lucrative but then every career has a risk, that is, you may become successful or you may not become successful. When you are pursuing a particular career option, you have a risk. So therefore, by pursuing a career, you are taking a risk. The qualification which still minimizes your risk or in which your bet is safer is MBA. Of course the final decision of doing or not doing an MBA should depend mostly upon your interest, aptitudes and personality. MBA is still one of the most coveted and aspired degrees in the world but it is surely not for everyone.

A Session by Mr. Mrinal Bhargava on Career Opportunities in Finance Sector
During an interactive session with students of Shanti Business School, Mr. Mrinal Bhargava, vice president, Royal Bank of Scotland, Dubai, shared his life mantra that "Journey is the Reward". Mr. Bhargava conducted the interaction with the students on various career opportunities available in today's time to post graduates in business management in the field of Finance.
Apart from the mantra, the guest speaker first asked students to have a focused approach towards life and career and emphasized that one must do a self SWOT analysis. He further added by stating that in today's world one cannot possess knowledge about just one subject and be revered for that, one needs to have overall understanding of all aspects as everything is interconnected. At the same time one needs to deliver that extra as people remember you for something that you deliver which is a little bit better than the others. One needs not forget the importance of basic business etiquettes.
Mr. Bhargava explained various roles one could get into in the finance sector and what qualities one would require for that. He also explained basic functions of banks, working capital cycle, importance of 15 basic ratios, the liquidity picture and treasury centre solutions.
His last advice to students was that industry respects candidates who have seriousness, preparedness and willingness to learn and deliver. These according to him are hard facts of life which one might not like but cannot ignore also.

Visit the Shut up about Barclay Perkins site
I've been reviewing my self-published book sales for 2017. A useful exercise, as it gives me an idea of what you bastards are interested in.
There's a pretty big variation between the different titles. Some sell much better than others. Some don't sell at all. Macbeth! being a good example. Only one copy exists. The one I got for myself.
Which means no-one owns all my books. Because I've given away several personal copies and not replaced them.
This may sound weird, but I don't know how many books I've written. 30-odd, I think. More if you count each edition of Yule Logs!!!!, which is completely different every year.
I'd be interested to see who owns the most of my books. Will it be me?
Comment with your count. There's a special prize for the winner - though I will expect photographic evidence.

"Turn up the music and thanks!" I commanded the SUV driver to crank the music louder.
It was already loud.
But, I'm basically deaf from years of pulling sexy girls out of nightclubs and I wanted it louder for another reason…
I wanted the music to envelope this girl and I.
To create a cocoon of passion and energy that she would never forget.
I was creating 'magic'.
Just a few hours earlier I had met this sexy girl out at the least expected joint: a dive bar my buddies and I had stopped by to pre-game.
She was sexy. The bar wasn't.
The bar even had the name 'dog' etched into the sign barely hanging above the door. And there were dogs inside the bar, really.
My buddy opened a couple of girls, I swooped in and we did what we do. Being a great wing-man is paramount when out. Find out how to be a great wing man here.
Shots start flowing, because no matter how many times I swear off shots they come rip-roaring back into my life with the vengeance of a thousand Zeus's.
And by rip-roaring I mean there's no better way to get girls loose FAST then to order a round of shots and toast to "Beautiful women with dirty thoughts"…
Which no one in the group ever realizes is a blatant rip-off from the Rum Diaries movie, but then again, no one saw that movie, so who cares?
I snag the tall blonde with a perfect body and blue-green eyes to possibly die for and bounce her elsewhere.
By elsewhere, for any of the lucky few in the world who has rolled out with me, knows that means EVERYWHERE…
This chick and I are rolling into venues no wait, no cover, slamming comped drinks and overall having a great time.
The tone is set.
She's already having a great time seeing how my world is when I roll out, but, I'm ready to take it up another notch.
Getting into clubs and lounges easily, drinking for free and seeing the 'bright side' of nightlife is nothing new to this 24-year-old. She's flown all over the world and Summer's from the South of France to the South Hampton's.
Okay. Time to reach into the ole' toolbox and do something really magical…
We're venue bouncing again, yes, a classic thing to do to build trust in a woman when you first meet her yada yada yada, however I do it for one reason I've never seen anyone mention on a blog before:
Because I want to.
It's no secret I enjoy socializing and nightlife and my night ends when I decide it does. She's along for the ride, or not.
See the difference? The vibe shifts too.
As we stepped outside of a particular Manhattan club I get bum rushed by all the private drivers who lurk outside of it like sharks circling prey. They are sharks, except they drive overpriced limos and SUVs.
They walk up with big Cheshire cat smiles plastered on their faces exclaiming, "I know you big boss!", while I smirk knowing they are just that good.
They want money. Hell, it's NYC, everyone does. You're either about your bills in this city or you're not of this city.
So, I know it's an act they do to make the customer feel good and hopefully separate them from a bill or two for a 5 block ride.
And it works. By the time I usually am attempting to go home, I'll spring for something a bit more posh.
Like the time I wound up in the back of a white limo laying on my back chugging vodka from the bottle while ranting to the limo driver about how bad Playa Del Carmen is. True story, happened the week after I got back.
The girl looks at me and says, "You've only lived here 6 months. How do you know literally everyone?"
"Cuz I'm me" I retort, wink, grab her hand and lead her to an overpriced SUV following a rotund man who's greedily counting the money in his head.
Yes, this motherfucker was about to make out like a bandit, but it was worth it.
"Turn up the music and thanks!" I commanded the SUV driver to crank the music louder.
He cranks on rap and here's the thing: I usually prefer rap or house music at this hour of the morning.
A. It's ALL about energy in the car. If you're pulling a girl from a club or bar and you get in a Uber and there's SILENCE, well then my friend, that silence will be deafening.
It will kill the energy and vibe and that will reduce or eliminate any sexual tension.
I believe this one little 'move' has garnered me more pussy than anything else when pulling.
When you get in a Uber, Lyft, taxi or a rickshaw, crank that shit!
It spikes the energy, keeps the girls in a fun mood and hell, you'll have the driver jamming too.
Or, you'll get them so pissed they pull over, go into their back hatch and pull a Glock on you and your group. That happened in Hollywood, but with my powers of persuasion convinced him to put the gun away and drink with us.
Ha, the audacity of believing in yourself!
B. The music creates a sort of Club-in-the-Car vibe.
Remember the last time you were in a Party Bus?
Yea, those giant tacky buses with strobe lights, stripper poles and songs from the 90's blaring.
I'll bet you felt awake and were, even begrudgingly, *cough* having fun.
Same concept, less tacky.
Music up. Energy high. Make out with the girl (or girls). You get it.
Like I stated, he's blasting Drake about how no one will call him on his cell phone or some shit and I tell him to flip the stations.
Ready for a Pro-Tip?
You never know WHICH song is going to set a girl off.
Playing Drake whining about some hoe never calling him back after he took her shopping in Bal Harbor COULD trigger memories of her ex…
Or, just a fantastic shopping spree with a NBA player named Raqueesh.
So, now you know which songs to play: party songs.
But I didn't this night.
The driver starts flipping stations and then like a sign from the game gods, the sweet sound of a symphony came over the speakers.
I for real thought Michael the Archangel had just gotten in the SUV using Uber Pool.
This was IT. You'll know when 'it' hits you.
"Right there, that's it!" I told the driver.
I personally enjoy that type of music, but it had never occurred to me to put that on when leaving a club.
The affect was staggering.
The look on this girl's face was priceless.
Her breasts were glorious.
She straddled me (on her own) and we were kissing as this happy driver started to weave his way around Manhattan.
"Where to?" he said as he winked at me in the rear view mirror.
"Just drive. Most scenic route. Along that river whatever the hell it's called."
He laughed, I buried my face in gorgeous breasts and this girl?
Well, she took her top off.
Now we were really free.
So, here's the picture:
Black SUV on some road beside one of the two famous rivers here in NYC (hell, I can never remember which one it is) speeding along. I'm in the back seat (1st row) planted firmly in the middle with my sport coat off.
This sexy as fuck tall blonde girl is straddling me with her top off and her amazing breasts firmly in my face with her nipples like pebbles, cuz you know the windows were down and the symphony music was BLARING, so there was that..
Oh, I forgot that part, did I? I had the back windows rolled down.
It was warm this weekend and the rush of NYC lights flashing by, the almost hint of Summer air hitting my nose and the smell of sexy young skin on a beautiful girl on my lap made for a very sensory experience.
And it did for her as well.
In between passionate kissing with (insert name of some famous composer who I don't know) blaring from the speakers and surprised looks from people riding in cars pulling up beside us at stop lights, she said:
"This is magical"
Her eyes glistened like only a girl's eyes can when she is 100% truly IN the moment, and in THAT moment, something happened…
It's happened to me a few times in my life, maybe only 15-20 times in 32 years, with a girl…
Time Stands Still.
It truly is magical.
Or, it's the 7 vodka shots, but regardless of what it is, there was multiple factors that led up to this point and I challenge you to create YOUR own magical moment this weekend with a sexy girl.
Here's The Ingredients You'll Need
- A sexy girl
- Isolation. Can't have magical moments with your boys hovered over your shoulder and her annoying girlfriend harping about a hotdog stand 2 blocks away.
- Being present. If you're not present, this will not work.
- Passion. If you don't feel passion with her, then it's not going to work.
- Create 'it'. "Well what the fuck is IT, Christian?" But, I can't help you with that part of the ingredients. If you've been reading in between the lines in this post, then you'll know exactly what to do, but here's a hint: think outside of traditional 'game', moves you've maybe used for years. Just let the adventure grab you…
When the timing is right and everything comes together (some from your planning, some from your game experience and some from you being a boss and taking the lead), you'll know it and I advise to do one thing when 'it' happens:
Live in that moment.
Breathe it in.
Enjoy the hell out of it.
These types of moments are rare and when they happen, you'll know that for just a moment, however brief, time stood still and magic was real.
So what happened to me and the girl?
Eventually I had the driver make his way to her apartment, we went inside and I did this to her.
If you're not implementing my secrets of sex in bed with girls, then you're missing out on getting her addicted to you. My NEW book How To Fuck Like A Pornstar: The Step-by-Step Guide To The Best Sex of Your Life is out now. Get the secrets here.

There are actually legitimate telecommuting jobs on the internet. But mixed in with those are scams that people should avoid. Any offers that promise big money for the cost of a book or kit that they will send you are not really legitimate telecommuting jobs. It is a way for someone to sell you their products or services. There are many such ploys out there so be aware when you look for this type of job. There are companies and people that are marketing their products not looking for real employees. Some companies sell you a newsletter listing job openings this is usually legitimate and may be worthwhile depending on the cost and how often they send it out. Before you pay for a newsletter find out if anyone else has ever heard of it and the results that received using it.
There are many legitimate job boards that list regular jobs like Monster.com, Vault and Career Builder. They even list the occasional telecommuting jobs. You can directly inquire to the companies listed on the job boards to see if they hire telecommuters. You would send a letter and resume directly to the human resource department or person listed in the ad via email. Another good source of telecommuting jobs is Craig's list which lists all types of jobs around the country by job category. A telecommuting job will require you to send a letter, resume and fill out tax forms just like a regular job. It follows the same basic guidelines that you follow looking for a regular job. If you are a candidate with experience some job staffing sites like the Creative Group, Paladin, Robert Half and others may be able to help you. You can contact them through the website sending an email and resume.
Some of the types of jobs that can be legitimate telecommuting jobs are writers, graphic designers, web designers, software programmers and designers and other technical computer based skills. Some sales jobs like telemarketing can be done from home too. There are some clerical jobs like virtual assistants that act as secretaries for some companies or individuals. You will need your own computer, high speed internet connection and a phone. Some companies may provide you with the equipment but this is not usually the case. There are some jobs that are totally remote where you never have to go to the office and others that prefer local candidates because they want you to meet clients or show up at the office on occasion.
When using Craig's list look under job categories like writing, web design, technology, whatever your expertise to locate jobs that might be telecommuting. Be sure to include a letter and resume if requested when responding. If you are a software designer or web designer for example and have a local company that you want to work for contacting them directly is your best option. Find out the name of the person who is in charge of the department that you want to work like Technical Services then try to get an interview with the company. You can write a letter to the person then call them to set up an appointment. Once you have an interview you can discuss the benefits of telecommuting. If you have the necessary skills then the company will probably hire you.
There are various freelance boards that list telecommuting jobs that you must register and bid on the jobs. Many of these are good avenues for freelancers to try. Remember when seeking legitimate telecommuting jobs a good resume and cover letter to send via email is your best sales tool.

Mother Goose
Central Park
Short Description:
A sculpture depicting Mother Goose in the nursery rhyme Old Mother Goose. It is augmented with Mother Goose characters. The sculpture is located in at the entrance to the Rumsey Playfield, in Central Park, New York City.
Long Description:
A 60" by 42" by 63" granite sculpture of Mother Goose on a 38" by 54" by 72" granite base in depicts Mother Goose riding on a gander. It is a depiction of the nursery rhyme:
Old Mother Goose, when
She wanted to wander,
Would ride through the air
On a very fine gander.
Mother Goose had a house,
'T was built in a wood,
Where an owl at the door
For sentinel stood.
She had a son Jack,
A plain-looking lad;
He was not very good,
Nor yet very bad.
She sent him to market,
A live goose he bought:
"Here! mother," says he,
"It will not go for nought."
Jack's goose and her gander
Grew very fond;
They'd both eat together,
Or swim in one pond.
Jack found one morning,
As I have been told,
His goose had laid him
An egg of pure gold.
Jack rode to his mother,
The news for to tell.
She called him a good boy,
And said it was well.
Mother Goose is wearing a pointed hat and a long flowing cape. She is riding side-saddle on a gander and is surrounded by bas-reliefs sculptures the of nursery rhyme characters Humpty Dumpty, Old King Cole, Little Jack Horner, Mother Hubbard, and Mary and her little lamb. The sculpture was created Frederick George Richard Roth and a team of carvers. It was installed in Central Park in 1938.
Mother Goose is both a nursery rhyme character and the name given to the Colonial American compiler of traditional children's rhymes. Traditionally, Mother Goose is said to be Mary Goose who lived in Boston and died in 1690.


text: The Porsche 911 is considered amongst many auto aficionados as one of the greatest sports cars of the 20th century. From the original 911 of 1963, designed by Butzi Porsche, to the latest 996 incarnation, the basic shape still remains true after 5 platform changes and 40 years. This is a remarkable achievement that cannot be said for any other automobile. Its timeless design manages to captivate each consecutive generation of driving enthusiasts year after year. Like any high precision piece of machinery, the early models demanded close care and attention. Despite this, the 911 has been considered to be practical compared to many of its competitors even having 2 small seats in the rear. It wouldn't be uncommon to be on ski holiday in Austria during a snowstorm and see a 911 Turbo equipped with snow tires and skis mounted on rear. You would never see a Ferrari or Lamborghini in those conditions. The rear mounted air-cooled boxer type engine put weight over the rear wheels, providing good traction and unique handling characteristics that contributed to the 911's infamy. The headlights and flared rear arches with bulging wings gave the car a squatting, menacing stance like a leopard ready to pounce. Starting in 1993 with the 993 platform, technology was starting to define the 911 like never before. They added things like all-wheel-drive, traction control, six-speed transmission, on-board diagnostics and multi-link rear suspension, which yielded huge improvements and allowed cornering to be somewhat more predictable. Advanced electronics and turbo technology gave way to the 993 Turbo, which used all-wheel-drive and two turbos for the first time since the groundbreaking 959. Many people declared this 993 twin-turbo version with 408 HP and 398 ft/lbs of torque as the ultimate supercar in its day. Now boost that power by 50% to 600hp and you have our GermanCarFans.com feature car pictured above. Yes folks, you read correctly. 607 ponies to be exact and 602 ft/lbs of torque. We are talking McLaren F1 territory with handling and brakes to match, plus amazing traction to put all that power down to the road effectively. Slingshot, rocket ship, Scotty engage warp drive; this is the only way I can describe this type of acceleration, 0-60mph 3.2 seconds! 0-100 mph in 7.1 seconds! 0-130 MPH in 10 seconds!

One of the best ever distance to stifle your peril of hunch virus and to improve your upbeat in unspecialized is to eat lashings of aquatic vertebrate. Fish specified as herring, sardines and food fish are all exceptionally good sources of an main fatty blistering named Omega 3. If you are a vegetarian later whip an Omega 3 matter (often based on oilseed oil) to preserve your Omega 3 levels up.
Avoid higher levels of sopping wet fats such as as those found in meat and food.

This doesn't be set to military force yourself to eat 20% wan food, it freshly money eat healthily record of the instance and now and again (which does not anticipate both day!) eat windburned provisions.

2013 is a major milestone in the history of The Texas Collection and a cause for celebration. This is our 90th Anniversary. The Texas Collection was officially founded in 1923 with a gift of nearly 1,000 volumes of Texana from Dr. and Mrs. Kenneth Hazen Aynesworth of Waco, Texas. Dr. Aynesworth was an alumnus of Baylor, a scholar and a local surgeon. In a statement made at the time of the gift, Dr. Aynesworth said, "Because of the pride I have in the preservation of the noble heritage bequeathed to us by the daring and scholarly builders of Texas and because of the devotion I bear to Baylor, the oldest university on Texas soil, I cheerfully donate this collection with the hope that the coming years may reveal a saner culture and happier life because of the spread of knowledge of the history of our great state." Up until his death on October 30, 1944, Dr. Aynesworth and his wife continued to donate books, papers and provide funds for the purchase of materials. The Texas Collection and Baylor University are deeply indebted to Dr. and Mrs. Aynesworth for their philanthropy.
The Frances C. Poage Map Room was established by an Endowment during the 1980s by former Congressman W. R. 'Bob' Poage in honor of his wife, Frances C. Poage. The Endowment enables growth of the map collections by providing funding for additional cartographic holdings.
In 1982, Ruth Shick Montgomery, former journalist and White House correspondent, donated money to The Texas Collection to set aside space for emerging mediums to be utilized. Today, there are thousands of cds, dvds, cassette tapes, vhs tapes, records, cd-roms, pneumatic tapes, as well as the equipment needed to view these materials in a newly redesigned space. There are also large flatbed scanners connected to computers for patrons to scan high resolution images of materials. If a quick, medium resolution scan is desired, the patron can use the innovative KIC scanner. The staff here at The Texas Collection is willing to train patrons on the various pieces of equipment if they are not already familiar with them.
Over the years, pivotal staff such as Guy B. Harrison, Kent Keeth, Ellen Brown and Michael Toon expanded on Aynesworth's vision and helped shape the collection into a first class research institution with a global patronage. Today, we remain committed to providing access to the unique resources in our reading room as well as reaching out to patrons using new technologies.

Is that a tent your waring?
So, I felt that with a new job comes a little more money and I budgeted a couple hundred dollars to go out and get a new wardrobe worthy of a doctors office receptionist. I was excited. My best friend was going with me, my sister and brother in law had ALL my kids, and I was rearing to go.
I know I am a bigger women. My boobs alone reach a destination LONG before the rest of me does(humor is one of the keys to a happy life ya know...LOL), so I thought a plus size consignment shop was just what the doctor ordered.
I walk into this cute little hole in the wall used clothing shop, tell the ladies what I need, and am directed to a very small section of....THE BIGGEST CLOTHES IN THE STORE! Let me set this up a bit for you. I am a BIG mirror avoider. I try NOT to notice, look, or even glance at my reflection in the mirror, because when I do it is just a reminder of who I am not anymore and that is hard to accept. Now don't get me wrong, I am not looking for a pity party or any comments saying "you'll get there..." NOPE I am only saying that because I don't look in the mirror and the fact that my wardrobe consists of mostly cleaning pants and men's t-shirts, and add on the fact that I have not been shopping for clothes for myself since I first got pregnant with Ty(and that was for maternity clothes), I was in for a big shock.
I put on the first shirt and walk around to actually look at my reflection and what I saw was...well...I started crying. I was so frustrated with the way I looked. I am not exaggerating when I say...it looked like I was waring a tent. My friend that was with me came over and hugged me and encouraged me to keep on keeping on. I realized that there was nothing I could do. I have a new job...a fat body...a great life...and I just needed to get over it...find some more tents to ware and move on. So that is what I did. I ended the day with about two weeks worth of SSWWEETT dress clothes, a pair of shoes and a set of bump its. I still need to color my hair, paint my nails, and this classy tent waring grey haired lady is ready to start my new job.

I've never heard of bump its. Seriously? Do these work?
BTW I KNOW how you feel about wearing tents... I've gained so much weight through all the prednisone in the past 2 years that NONE of my clothes fit. I dread looking in the mirror or shopping for new clothes. I'm glad you found some dress clothes though!
Have a great Sunday! And thanks for your sweet comment on my Dentist post :-)

"classy tent wearing gray haired lady" - that just cracked me UP!
I know how you feel.
I avoid mirrors too. Mostly because until recently, I didn't have a full length one, and I'm usually too frugal to shop for myself (classic mom syndrome of everyone else's needs come first). Then I wanted to start a diet and decided to take pics of myself to document any possible changes. When I uploaded them, I immediately called my hubby and apologized. I do not realize how fat I am. It's like I have the opposite of what anorexics have. I look in the mirror and see someone who is not as fat as she is, though not perfect, still attractive. Uhhhh... reality check! So now I try to avoid mirrors and pictures, for the reason that I don't want to see it and I don't want to document it. (Plus, I got prego and miscarried, so the diet went out the window and I gained back all the weight I lost.)
Someday. Someday I'll get off my round rump and do something about it. Glad to hear about your awesome clothes scores! Good Luck tomorrow!

How in the world do you make me laugh and feel for you in the same sentence? You're hilarious, Rebekah:) Trying clothes on stinks...it just does. I hope you can get more confidence with your new outfits, but something tells me that when you start this job Wednesday, all people will be noticing is your sweet heart for the Lord and your willingness to work hard...something even better and more important than how you look! I'm excited to hear all about it...praying for you!:)

Ummm, yeah, kids'll do that to you! Funny, with my son, the weight was gone in three months, and I was back to normal (which was not super skinny, but I felt comfortable.) And now, after my daughter, the weight stayed with me. I'm thirty pounds heavier than I was before, and I feel so gross! I feel awkward and large, and the person in the mirror is so hard to reconcile with the person I feel like on the inside. Who is that frumpy dumpy housewife in there looking at me?? I know how you feel, and I won't tell you it doesn't matter, because it does affect the way you feel about yourself. I just try to focus on the good things in my life, and if I really want the weight gone, I know how to do it, and I know I just have to make that commitment to put myself first! Whew!! Good comment eh!!

Hi Rebekah!
I don't know if you remember me from TLOL, but I was pregnant with my Malik when you were pregnant with Skyler. I've actually followed you ever since. (I'm just not much of a commenter, even at tlol, where I still am under Linzbaby1)
I love your humor (which is a neccesity when raising kids! ) and think Ty is soooooo lucky to have you as a first Mom. I am Mommy to two older kids now (my husband's daughter, and her biological brother, to be specific). Their biological Mother abandoned them when they were 1.5 and 5 years old, and I can't tell you how much hurt they have and unanswered questions. I do my best, and I've managed to track down a few siblings, but it's still so hard for them to understand. It warms my heart, the relationship you and Rebekkah have, and amazes me at what a beautiful life Ty will have, with both his families lifting him up and supporting him!
As far as looking in the mirror goes, I wanted to tell you a story from when I was a kid. My Grandfather's sister, Aunt Annie was a very plain woman. There was really nothing spectacular about any of her features, but man o man, when she walked into a room, she turned heads! Her beautiful heart and outgoing personality shined through! People were just drawn to her. I remember seeing that as a child, and telling my Mother that I want to be beautiful like Aunt Annie when I grow up, and she's the one who sat down with me and made me realize that her beauty came from within..
Now I hope my children are beautiful like their great-great Aunt Annie, who they will never get to meet. Looks fade, and weight goes up and down, but THAT kind of beauty is the beauty that is timeless..... they beauty people remember.
And that kind of beauty is the beauty I see shining through in you in all the years I've followed your story.

Thanks for the kind words about my kid's pictures :) The baby, Sierra, was born with a real severe cleft lip and palate, so it's been a stressful year of medical care and surgeries, but it's so nice to be through the first year, with all it's hurdles!

I've been a blog lurker for a long time, but tonight I have to comment. Your post cracked me up and brought back tears of an all too familiar shopping trip.
After being on bedrest with my last child and gaining WAY TOO MUCH weight, even tents were challenging to get on! I had a job I worked at 3 days before going on bedrest and was thankful they would still take me back. When I took my 4 year old shopping with me and into the dressing room, she said (VERY LOUDLY) "Don't worry, Mom. I'll pray to God you get some skinny." Laughter erupted in every one of the 15+ dressing rooms at Kohl's that day!
Needless to say, we left the dressing room VERY QUICKLY, and I went tent shopping all by myself the next day!!
You are in my prayers. Take care of yourself!

I once cried in a dressing room at banana republic. I had made the mistake of trying to buy pants there. It was terrible, my husband still won't go pants shopping with me. poor guy.

I just found your blog and I am SO thankful that I did. As a couple dealing with infertility for almost 2 years, we are considering adoption. You made the most unselfish and loving decision in the world. I am SO grateful that there are women like you in this world who give the ultimate gift to a couple who can't have children of their own.

With the ever increasing number of businesses that are selling online today, finding your way into this crowded marketplace can be a tough job. Selling goods and services online includes a vast array of benefits. There are lots of unique ways for you to sell products online. So developing a brand for yourself, as time passes, will be able to help you build an extremely valuable asset online.
E-commerce also has a whole lot of benefits over physical stores and mail order catalogues. Since e-commerce is easily the most normal circumstance, let's first think how to begin an e-shop. Then you want an e-commerce enabled website.
Sometimes you only need a means to sell your products online without needing to take care of large e-commerce program. Selling your products on the internet is an enormous challenging endeavour. If you're sourcing your goods from middlemen, your profits will be lower. A really good example can be seen of a specialist store selling mens wedding rings and bands. They have carved a niche and are hugely succesful in it.
You didn't need to visit a shop and search for ingredients and produce the meal. Even when you already run an internet shop, this course will allow you to take your business to the next level by offering you new suggestions on how to raise the range of your shop and new ways to raise revenue. If you started an internet store today, I would say that you need to be ready to devote at least if you're intent on starting your company. Today, everyone can set up an internet store in minutes. Running an internet store is an organisation. Seriously, opening an internet store has made such a meaningful and strong difference in my life I want other folks to get the same feeling of succeeding and independence. Overall, if you prefer to begin a more conventional on-line store but don't wish to be concerned about inventory or fulfilment, then utilising a 3PL may be a good choice for you.
In this way, nearly every company can reach a colossal market, directly, fast and economically, whatever the size or its location of your organisation. It is dependent on how you're run and develop your organisation, whether you are going to stick to what you do or attempt to expand, create brands, etc.. Most people believe that starting your company is too risky. Many internet businesses try to earn money by offering a blend of free and premium services. Nobody can imagine a prosperous e-commerce business without the help of a reliable e-commerce program development solution provider.
If you're seeking to create a site to display your photography, this might be the place. Cratejoy If you want to create a website and sell subscription boxes, as in, boxes full of different goods, this could be an ideal place. It appears promising, and I think if you're seeking to construct your e-commerce website it must be considered.
If you're completely new to creating websites, managing, an internet store might look like an intimidating task. People can access your website from anywhere on earth and do purchase. Just building a site and selling online isn't enough.

Still not a mind readerA woman approached the information desk armed with a call number typed into her iPhone. Miss Information hates when people do that, she's probably just jealous of their fancy phones but whatever. Because the library is big and complicated sometimes people cannot figure out where to go for the books. It is even more complicated because sometimes the computer system just flat out refuses to give hints and says unhelpful things like "returned". Well, ok but when was it returned and which floor did it go to when it was returned?
So that was the problem. Fortunately the circulation system is more cooperative and will provide those details to Miss Information if she asks nicely. However, the circulation system always puts up a fuss when you need to use a call number so Miss Information asked the woman for the title of the book. The title is Biology. Was there a subtitle? No. Did the woman know the author's name? Nope. Does the woman have any idea how many books called Biology there are in the library? Clearly not.
At this point Miss Information looks at the iPhone and realizes that the call number isn't the usual one for biology but is more of a business number. Oh, yes says the patron. It's about marketing. Miss Information mentions that biology is an odd name for a book about marketing.
"Oh," the customer replies, "it's spelled BUYology."
And again, Miss Information is left wondering why her psychic skills are so useless.

Ah, my neglected, seldom ever used blog. This post will be of little interest to non-nerds, but I wanted to get down on paper my experiences transitioning (again) from Windows to Linux.
Many moons ago I had an aging desktop machine that would no longer satisfactorily run Windows XP. Being the wannabe nerd I am, I thought linux would be a good way to breathe life into an old machine. I tried several different distros eventually settling on OpenSUSE with the KDE desktop. I had a problematic Nvidia card and this was the only one that would run with a minimum of problems.
I got used to system and as time went on it became slower and slower so I tried out Ubuntu, which worked for a while. Eventually that too started to lag so I moved to Mint and eventually settled on the Xfce desktop. This worked for a long while and is actually still installed on that now decommissioned desktop.
With my transition to laptops I occasionally experimented with dual booting my machine with linux, with varying results but never really catching on.
The Present
About a year ago I decided to seriously consider dual booting again and making it work. My current laptop, a Lenovo, was at that time two years old, though still in pretty good shape. I was just getting tired of the same old annoyances of Windows and with the advent of Windows 10, it's built-in spyware and adware, and the potential for eventually having a subscription I thought it was a good idea to have a working alternative.
I liked Mint so I tried Mint 17. Amazingly, pretty much everything worked. I would spend weeks in nothing but linux. But I missed some major applications. Media Monkey in Windows is absolutely the best music application for large libraries (I have north of 50,000 songs). And Pot Player is the most amazing video player. And for work I need access to Microsoft Office, as quite a bit of what work with just doesn't show up correctly in Libre Office.
So it was always the second choice. And then my laptop headphone jack started acting up. It is loose in the cabinet, something I could probably fix if I really wanted to take the time to do it, but the easier thing to do was to buy an external USB DAC (an ASUS Xonar U3). This thing is awesome. The sound is better than I have ever had…but it was problematic in Mint 17. Pulse audio kept getting borked with it eventually getting so screwed up (admittedly, I probably screwed it up trying so many things to get it to work right) that I lost all sound and try as I might I couldn't get it back.
So I thought I would try Ubuntu again. And it worked well. The interface of Ubuntu these days is not great, but I can deal with that if everything works. But a new problem cropped up. Video tearing. Scrolling on webpages or anywhere else caused really annoying lines and artifacts. No amount of futzing with it made it better. So I abandoned it again for a short while.
Until Mint 18, which I thought I might as well try out as Mint 17 was near perfect. And Mint 18 is in fact pretty much perfect. No tearing. Everything worked out of the box. I mess around with my music files much less since Spotify so that is less of an issue. SM Player is pretty much what I want from a video player (A note about VLC: VLC is great. But it has a couple of niggling problems I can't get past. One is that it won't remember the place I was at in a video. There is an addon to handle this but I can't seem to get it work, even when I compile it myself. And I use video to fall asleep and one thing I like to be able to do is advance over TV show themes in the dark, with the laptop closed and using the mouse. SM Player will do this with the mouse wheel rocker. VLC has no such function).
My USB sound works well, with caveats. I get crackling sounds when I reboot, particularly a reboot from Windows (rebooting from Windows messes with my mouse too, so I disconnect my mouse before entering Windows and use another one. Windows apparently does something to hardware that does not reset from a reboot but does with a shutdown). Turning the computer off and on again fixes it (Thanks for the advice, It Crowd). But I also need to be careful when I shutdown. Occasionally, if I unplug the Xonar before shutting down, I have no sound at all when I startup again. Deletion of the Pulseaudio config files fixes this.
A few other minor bugs (the biggest one being that occasionally after a suspend (sleep for Windows folk) I lose a lot of the text and icons in various programs. A reboot fixes this and there is a bug report open for it). And Chrome is laggy, especially after being open for a while so I mainly use Firefox, which I did half the time in Windows anyway.
Everything works. I have spent the last few weeks exclusively in Linux Mint and couldn't be happier. My computer is faster and frankly I think it looks much better (I suspect there is something very wrong with my Windows video drivers as everything is…flat and dim and changing brightness or gamma distorts colors). There is the occasional problem, but then I get to flex my nerd muscles and figure out how to fix it. And there is almost always a fix. And I occasionally still must boot into Windows but it is getting more and more seldom.
I couldn't recommend Mint 18 enough. It works and is a viable replacement for Windows, at least for the technically inclined and even so it wasn't that difficult to get working like you want.
