Weigh In Week 10
I'm not quite sure whats going on but I'm suspecting hormones are playing a part. You all know the awful weight gain that comes with the monthly cycle. Well I had two of those this month! So I suspect I'm fighting a hard uphill battle as a result of the dreaded word "menopause." And yet....
there are no excuses! I tell myself it doesn't matter one whit because if I was in famine ravaged Africa Id lose weight no matter how many times I cycled in a month!
Some excuses are actually reasons and yet even the reasons go away when put into the bright light of day and examined under the microscope of reality. The reality is that no one came out of the concentration camps fat! There calories were so reduced that they lost weight! It didn't matter if they had been dubbed insulin resistant, menopausal, lo thyroid, whatever! They all lost weight! The same thing is true of the parts of the world in famine, so there fly all our excuses.
If you eat right you will lose; maybe not every single day or week but the trend will be downward every month. So there now you have the inside look at the peptalk I give myself!!
This is a long and hard journey and excuses will only hinder me. I need to throw them away and get real. The road ahead will be hard enough without carrying the baggage of excuses.
Now I know Ive said a lot this week about how hard this is. Look for an upcoming post at how fun this is, because really folks it is fun. I've gone from a size 2x to an XL. Now that's fun!
Okay, weigh in!

This week I literally worked my behind off...(well maybe not literally, its still there in full force) I logged in 76 hours in 6 days... I worked most of those not at the restaurant (where I feel a good cook, tastes what she is serving ;) )I lost an incredible amount of weight... 12 pounds. That was my reward for all those days I was too tired to eat anything, for all my muscle aches and pains. I would normally disagree with you when you say this could be fun... but when I noticed my pants were a little less tight, and put off stepping on the scale until today... It made weighing in sooo much fun!ReplyDelete
I definitely understand what you mean about the monthly cycle weight gain. A few days ago I was five pounds heavier. I worked hard and broke even. It's frustrating! Last Wednesday I was down a pound from Tuesday. Today I weighed the same as last Tuesday. I'm still feeling bloated and swollen, so maybe next week will have better numbers.ReplyDelete
Zero loss for Brandi.
Wow, you must feel like you're walking on clouds!
sulli thats unbelievable! So what did you do? Did you work out? What did you eat?ReplyDelete
mrs. darling... I just went to work. I started at 6 or 7 in the morning and didnt stop until 10:30 at night. I work in a very large nursing home and walk/run my whole time there. There isnt time to eat lunch or whatever there. At the restaraunt I was constantly eating.. So it was a huge change in my diet... WAY less food than I was consuming. And instead of just standing at my station at the restaurant...I was on the move constantly at the nursing home. I swear I walk 1/4 of a mile just to punch in there. lots of stairs to and from breakroom, time clock and parking lot. But it made me aware of how poorly I was eating before and how lazy I was becoming. hopefully I can continue to lose weight, maybe not 12 pounds a week, but as long as it is steady...ReplyDelete
right now I do feel like I am walking on clouds, but I am smart enough to realize that it wont always be this way. And I know that it is not healthy to lose weight like this all the time, but once in a while its gotta be good. I am slowing down now with work. Just one job for me... but maybe I have learned that I can not eat anything I want whenever I want... and maybe I can continue to lose weight. I sure feels good to say less than 100 pounds til my goal!
I'm back down to my lowest point - 14 less than my start weight, so I don't know of you count that a 'loss' or not. I just un-gained. :-)ReplyDelete
I sure appreciate the encouragement here; my own mind doesn't give me any.

Well as always my TOM puts me up five pounds so I'm at 16 lbs lost and 139 to go. :( Thankfully I don't go by just the scale. I watch for non-scale reminders of my successes too. Like going down sizes in jeans or rings that are too loose. So I know I'm heading the right way! And that deserves a :)!ReplyDelete
Put me down for a three pound weight loss. There's the one bright spot of having had the stomach flu.ReplyDelete
I am down two pounds this week. I have had a busy work week, no time to eat junk!ReplyDelete
Down 5 pounds. Yay us!!ReplyDelete
I also played the hormone game, ugh. I never relized how much it affects my weight since I never paid attention to both like this. I noticed it too. End result is Im down 1 pd but if my hormones are playing with me as they have been that may be a whole nother story in a couple of days,possibly a week.ReplyDelete
Sulli, way to go.
Wow these are great numbers this week. Fiery by design, hang in there. Water weight will disappear even though it seems like it wont!ReplyDelete
-3. Sorry, couldn't get to the scale downstairs yesterday.ReplyDelete
Mrs D, Thanks for visiting my blog. You are a blessing. I don't mind if my weekly total stays "0" but can you change my total in the sidebar? I know I'm down 14 lbs total, so I don't like to see the same old 12.5.ReplyDelete
I know it's a lot of work to keep up with all the info and we sure appreciate it.
Darn, I'm up 1 pound. I've worked really hard this week. I'm starting too journal my food, so we'll see what results that brings. The exercise part comes easy, because I enjoy it (sickening, I know!). But then I justify the extra little snack because "I've worked out hard today".ReplyDelete
I'd forgotten to check in. I know I'm late but if I don't start now... I won't. 1 pound lost, 19 to go.ReplyDelete
So sorry mamaolive!!! You deserve credit for eveyr pound. Ill change it immediately!ReplyDelete
Well, um, I'm late to check in. But I've lost 70 lbs in the past 18or so months. Since I only weigh at the Dr it has been a great adventure from month to month. I keep thinking that if I did the least little bit bit of exercise there's no telling how much I'd have lost by now!ReplyDelete
Cathy you could join. The weight loss from Jnauary of 08 counts over there on the sidebar. Come weigh in on Thursday and join us. New people start almost every week.ReplyDelete
And congrats on that weight loss! Mabye joining here will help you speed things up! :)

In a survey of 225 farms, different soil conservation practices were documented. "Inertia, insufficient farm income, lack of appreciation of the seriousness of the situation, or an attitude of indifference toward soil conservation even though the situation is recognized" are some of the reasons for the limited effort made to conserve soil. Some look at the situation from the short-term viewpoint and apparently have no interest in the future. T: Number of farmers reporting use of selected conservation practices.

The objective of this study was to measure the effect of the conservation program on farm income during the sixth year of a 6-yr period. The purpose was to evaluate the economic effects of the program currently recommended for the area and to contribute information for the improvement of conservation planning. It was found that there was no significant relationship of current farm income to the total conservation inputs over a 6-yr period. There was no significant or consistent relationship of crop yields or labor and machinery requirements to conservation inputs. It was noted, however, that by slight shifts in land use and farm organization the higher conservation score farmers were able to maintain net incomes comparable to those of other farmers. T: Percentage of crop land in grass-legumes on 69 sample Palouse farms by conservation score groups, 1941 to 1946.

When Occupy Denver volunteer chef Pat Marsden hands out a free sack lunch, it's not readily apparent whether the recipient is an angry political activist, homeless or just a hungry passer-by.
"That's the beauty of this. We really don't care," Marsden said from behind his makeshift mess-hall counter at the Occupy Denver encampment downtown.
"It's food for everybody. We're not just socialists or democrats or anarchists. What better way for people to come together than around food?"
Food — and a common outrage against "corporate greed" — are unifying elements in a 2-week-old Denver protest that participants hope will ignite a broader social movement.
The constant cacophony of horn-honking support on Broadway suggests that Occupy Denver strikes a chord with more than the few dozen activists camped out at Veterans Memorial at Civic Center.
The event is one of several regional offshoots of Occupy Wall Street, where thousands of demonstrators have amassed daily in the Manhattan financial district since mid-September to protest big business and misguided government.
Passing motorists and pedestrians in Denver can hardly miss the shantytown spectacle on a half-block stretch of Broadway between Colfax and East 14th avenues.
The makeshift kitchen, security-guard office and baggage check are erected with 2-by-4s and cardboard partitions covered by plastic tarps.
The park's grass is dotted with tents — illegally placed on state of Colorado property, say police, who so far have taken no enforcement action. Sleeping bags and blankets adorn the memorial's metal benches.
Variety of causes
Some demonstrators stay full time at the site. Others come and go during off-work hours. Participation ebbs and flows, with as few as 10 or 20 during weekday mornings to more than 50 on weekends.
Protesters can avail themselves of donated medical supplies and full-time volunteer staffing by nurses and emergency medical technicians.
Food is donated by a handful of restaurants, and by motorists who drop off packages such as cartons of bananas, a box or red leaf lettuce and cases of bread and bagels.
On a recent afternoon, one passing driver stopped only long enough to offer a $5 bill, which a fluorescent vest-clad Occupy Denver volunteer security guard placed in the group's "treasury" for purchasing supplies.
Bored with activism and camping? Check out the library housed in a cardboard box, with titles ranging from R.L. Stine's "Halloween Night II" to a hardbound copy of "The Iliad."
A small gas-powered generator is turned on daily to allow demonstrators to charge their phones and computers.
Protesters take shifts waving hand-lettered signs along Broadway.
If concern over corporate greed is a common element, Occupy Denver is inclusive in embracing a variety of causes.
Signs include "Tax the Rich," "Deoccupy Afghanistan," "People Over Profits" and "Can I Have My Future Back?"
Talk to a dozen protesters, and a dozen views emerge on what Occupy Denver is about.
Student and casino worker Derik DaSilva is fighting to "spread the wealth and close the corporate loopholes."
Accountant Lauren Brilliante is protesting to "get the money out of politics."
Retired psychologist Guy Benintendi is demonstrating "to end the injustice, oppression and occupation of Palestine."
"A lot of people argue that we don't have a centralized message, but that's the nature of our approach," said Becca Chavez, a 29-year-old Colorado Springs retail clerk who claims not to be a leader of what she calls the "leaderless movement," but who coordinates some of Occupy Denver's communications and social media.
"If there is a common message, it's that we feel our government has gotten away from us and our voice is getting drowned out by corporate money."
Participants hold twice-daily "general assemblies" to discuss and vote on matters ranging from what the group's overall strategy and approach should be to daily logistics for maintaining their camp.
Tents conversation
On Thursday afternoon, Occupy Denver members held an impromptu meeting with officers of the Denver Police Department and Colorado State Patrol in the park, which is part of the state Capitol complex.
Discussion focused on the illegality of placing tents and camping in the park.
"You guys are very well-organized, and believe me, that's great," said Capt. John Hahn of the State Patrol's executive security unit. "But the concern is that if (the event) grows until you can't manage it, then there are a lot of you, and there are a lot of us."
In polite and measured tones, Hahn asked demonstrators to spread the word that tents should not be present.
Some protesters said they believed they had the right to camp in the park. As of Friday evening, no police action had been taken to remove the tents.
Occupy Denver plans to hold a rally today at noon on the west steps of the Capitol, and then march on a yet-undesignated route.
While the group says it is independent of any organized support, AFL-CIO Colorado executive director Mike Cerbo said union members "are supporting and participating in these grassroots actions. We stand in solidarity with the protesters."
Jon Caldara, president of the Golden-based free-market advocate Independence Institute, said the demonstrators are misguided.
"They wish (for) European-style socialism," he said. "It's not corporate welfare they hate. They hate that it's not all going to their causes. When they want to end all corporate welfare, I'll douse myself with patchouli oil and join them."

text: Bonjours, I'm curious to read about what other people are exited to have in iOS 5. I think the new message app is going to be totally awesome and useful because I don't have a cell phone and most of my friends and family own an apple product. I'm also really exited about the new video mirror feature for the ipad 2. I just purchased an apple tv just to use that feature in iOS 5. I'm looking foward to read your responses. Thanks

Investors make plenty of mistakes with their savings. But some mistakes are more important than others. The biggest one of all can make a huge difference to your retirement.
In the following video, Dan Caplinger, The Motley Fool's director of investment planning, talks about the one retirement mistake that can have the biggest impact on your retirement: cashing out your 401(k) plan account. Dan notes that millions of people do this when they leave jobs, paying tax and 10% penalties on the money they receive. But as Dan notes, the even bigger impact comes from not having that money growing for you to help support you in retirement. Dan concludes that for most people, rolling over old 401(k) plan accounts is a much smarter move than just taking the money and running.

Will the hypocrisy never stop?:
Nation Paul Ryan Letter
For those who may have trouble reading the text, in it Ryan requests funds to develop the Kenosha Community Health Center, a care facility for low-income folks, to be funded under a program created by the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as "Obamacare." Yet just this week Ryan called for the total repeal of the ACA. So, Ryan was for the ACA before he was against it, I guess?
The Nation has an exclusive on this that is well worth the read.

Barbara Kruger is a contemporary conceptual artist and photographer from America who was born in New Jersey on 26th January 1945 to a middle class family. She completed her graduation from Weequahic High School and then attended Syracuse University. Afterwards she studied design and art at Parsons School of Design with Marvin Israel and Diane Arbus. Once her education concluded, she started working at Condé Nast Publications as a designer. She then joined the magazine Mademoiselle and then worked part-time, at Aperture, House and Garden, and other magazines, as a photo editor. In 1979 she published Picture/Readings that included photographs on architecture shot by her. At first she started off with graphic designing, then leaned towards photography and finally she mixed her two talents together to create a new approach altogether. Therefore, her work relies heavily on digital rendering and technology in order to enhance, distort or complement it.
Most of her works are made using monochrome photographs superimposed with declarative textual captions. Her words and phrases repeatedly include such pronouns as, your, you, we, I and they. Kruger divided her residence and work between Los Angeles and New York. All her pieces speak to the viewer with concise statements and questions about consumerism, desire, individualism, and feminism. The juxtaposition of text and imagery addresses issues like power circulation in societies and criticizes sexism.
She uses the colors white and red for her text that stand out on black and white photos. Two of her most noted slogans are Your body is a battleground, and I shop therefore I am. The images that appear behind the text are taken from conventional magazines that sell ideas that she is against. Her work is also threaded by the alteration and appropriation of existing images. The importance of such art is that one can play around with meanings.
Her work reflects her job in the magazines and their editorial and creative departments. She does a lot of editing, writing, lay out designing and research. Her paste ups are black and white works that are made from found pictures and texts culled from the mass media or are an invention of the artist.
From the mid-90s, Kruger has produced huge audio and video installations. Her work continued to question affection, contempt, control and power by putting life into still images through the use of movement and speech.
For her exhibition in Los Angeles at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Kruger made several flypostings, and fifteen billboards. Then at the Los Angeles Unified School District, she covered a bus with phrases to promote art, education, following orders – for public awareness.
In addition, Barbara Kruger also taught in educational institutions, such as California Institute of the Arts, University of California in Berkeley as well as in Los Angeles, and at Whitney Museum's study program. From 1995 up to an year, at the Wexner Center for the Arts, she did a residency in arts where she addressed domestic violence issues through public service messages. In the year 2000, at the Claremont's Scripps College, she did an Wiegand Foundation art residency.
Kruger has also been a writer and submitted her write-ups about culture, film and television to The New York Times, Art Forum, The Village Voice, and Esquire.
Barbara Kruger's work has been exhibited in many galleries and museums, including P.S. 1 Contermporary Art Center, 1979; Institute of Contemporary Arts, 1983; Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal, 1985; and in many more places. She was also given awards in 2001 for Distinguished Women in Arts by MOCA and in 2005, the Leone d'Oro – lifetime achievement award.

What new wilderness would mean for mountain biking in the Roaring Fork Valley
There's been a lot of misinformation floating around about what new wilderness designations might mean for mountain biking in the Roaring Fork Valley. This fact sheet is intended to set the record straight.Executive summary: none of the commonly ridden mountain bike routes will be affectedNone of the popular (or even slightly popular) mountain bike trails in the Roaring Fork Valley will be affected by any existing wilderness proposal. (In fact, only a half-dozen existing routes, all of them quite obscure or downright unridable, are in conflict with the proposal – see below.)Click here to see a list of all known mountain bike trails in the Roaring Fork watershed that will not be affected by any existing wilderness proposal. This list should reassure you that the trails you ride aren't threatened.Major concessions have been made for mountain bikingWilderness advocates have been working with the Roaring Fork Mountain Bike Association (RFMBA) and other mountain bikers in the valley since 2007 to work through potential wilderness-mountain bike conflicts. During that time, we have redrawn our proposed wilderness boundaries to exclude 18 different mountain bike routes, giving up more than 35,000 acres of wilderness and preserving a total of 75 miles of trails in the Roaring Fork watershed.In the Roaring Fork Valley new wildernss would close only two miles of mountain bike routes located on abandoned and overgrown logging roads that bike advocates have never requested be open. New wilderness would close no miles of designated dirt bike trails, only one mile open to full-size vehicles, and only nine miles open to ATVs. These 10 miles of motorized routes that would be closed are all located within the Thompson Creek BLM lands with the only public motorized access being up a severely eroded route that that shoukld be closed due to its ecological damage. Over 1,000 miles of roads and trails are available on federal lands for bikers and motorized users. Similarly, new wilderness would minimally affect snowmobiling. Only 2% of Forest Service designated play areas in the valley would be closed, leaving over 30,000 acres open. Click here for a list of trails that have been conceded to RFMBA.Most of the routes RFMBA is contesting are slated for closure by the Forest Service
Of the trails that RFMBA is concerned about losing, the vast majority are expected to be closed by the White River National Forest under its new Travel Management Plan, which is due to be finalized in mid 2010. This plan has been several years in the making, and represents the Forest Service's best attempt to balance the interests of the various user groups, including mountain bikers. If you have concerns about these trail closures, you should contact the Forest Service.Most of the remaining contested routes don't existMany of RFMBA's routes are off the table due to issues other than wilderness, either because of access issues or because they don't officially exist. For example, the Colorado Division of Wildlife has made it clear that it won't allow bike access through the Lake Christine State Wildlife Area, so RFMBA's idea of creating a trail through there to Cattle Creek isn't grounded in reality. Another proposed trail from Dinkle Lake to the Crystal River Valley assumes access will be granted by the private property owner at the Crystal River end, which we know to be out of the question.There are also a few other "user-created or improved" trails – e.g., spurs to the south of the Hay Park Trail, the balcony trail on smuggler mountain and the Barber Gulch trails above Carbondale. Because these trails were constructed without legal approval from the Forest Servic or BLM, tboundary adjustments to accommodate these trails as this would imply approval of illegal trail construction or improvement on public lands.The bottom lineIn the Roaring Fork Valley only the 2 miles of the Rocky Fork Spur network of trails in the Wildcat Proposal Area would be closed by the new wilderness proposals. Given that more than 35,000 acres of wilderness have been removed from the proposal in the Roaring Fork Valley at the specific request of mountain bikers it seems reasonable that most mountain bikers would support our proposal. However if being able to ride these few trails is more important to you than protecting the entire surrounding area from the encroachments of motorized vehicles, gas development, road building, clear-cutting and other threats please contact us and we'll gladly sit down to discuss how we might resolve the conflict.

Rev. Samuel KEEN 1818 Sth. Molton Devon - 1871 South Australia
Samuel KEEN b.05 Dec 1818 Sth. Molton Devon England d. 21 Jun 1871 Middleton Goolwa South Australia m. 06 Sep 1852 Chatham Nth. Devon England Sally INGERSON b. 10 Jan 1821 Barnstable Devon England d. 20 Feb 1906 Brompton South Australia.
7 children.
After his father's and brothers deaths at sea in 1823 Samuel and his mother were relegated to the poor house. They depended on Lord Fortescue of Castle Hill for money and coal. Evevidently they were in residence on the estate at Castle Hill and Samuel at the age of 6 was taken as a page boy to live at the manor. He subsequently became a footman and eventually a butler.
At this time he offered himself for the ministry and the Earl offered him a post with the Dowager Lady Fortescue at Weare Gifford near Bidford where he was able to study for the ministry as well as being employed by the Dowager. He also, as time permitted, preached at the local village on Sunday evenings.
At his own expense he spent half a year at Shebbear College and was instructed in theology by James Thorn. In 1848 he was received on trial to the ministry and was placed at South Devon Mission for two years. With further study, including a homeopathic course, he was accepted into full Connexion in 1852 and sent as a missionary to South Australia with an annual salary of 14 pounds. Before sailing he married Sally Ingerson and they departed on the "Lord Delaval" arriving in Melbourne Victoria in February 1853. He served for 19 years in South Australia, building churches and forming congregations.
Parents :
George KEEN and Prudence ?
A sailor who last sailed from Plymouth in 1823 with his sons ( except 5 year old Samuel) to Africa to obtain timber. He was never heard from again and is assumed to have been ship wrecked.

Alfred James Holman was a carpenter as was his father. He was born in Camden Town in the County of Middlesea and baptised at St. Pancras Church London and migrated to Australia in 1871. He married Sophia Cupit in Orange NSW in the Trinity Church Of England on 30th. November 1876. He was aged 28. Their first child was stillborn and after the birth of their second child they moved from Orange to Windsor and moved into one of the houses on the Cupit land in George Street. Alfred built addittional houses and replaced those built by his fatherinlaw.
"Cupitt house" can be seen today as it is a coffee shop last occupied by Nora Cupit nee McMahon, a teacher who taught grade three at Windsor Primary and had Jack Holman and his son Robert as pupils.
Alfred continued to work as a carpenter in the Windsor district but contracted typhoid from contaminated foundations of a house he was demolishing in the town and died shortly after in 1855 aged 36. Sophia was left with three children 4 years and under to raise.
It is noted that a school boy who sold her a load of fire wood for 2/6 stole a grindstone valued at 2/-. George PLATT pleaded guilty in the local court and was imprisoned for 7 days.
Hence our Holman line in Australia.

Next Christmas we should have a picture of all 5 of us. I am 16 weeks this week. Ultrasound is scheduled for Jan. 21st. We are going to let the doctor share with us what the baby is in the delivery room. We have never done this before but are looking forward to a surprise. Sam and Grace are excited and talk almost daily about my expanding tummy. Sam says "baby in mommy's tummy". Grace says "I want a baby sister." They are so precious and wonderful. I am so grateful for my kiddos.
How blessed am I to have such a wonderful husband. We had a wonderful and busy Christmas together. Loaded with lots of family and fun. Thank you Matthew for loving me. I think you are wonderful.

The daily newspaper, Diário Económico recently highlighted BESI's 1st Quarter activity in 2015. BESI recently presented impressive end of first quarter, as well as in terms of Operating Results, the Bank remarkably reached approximately EUR 9 million, with Banking Income of EUR 44 million and Operating Costs of EUR 35 million. The consolidated net income for the period was EUR 2.4 million (unaudited). The prestigious newspaper also emphasised the major role BESI has in the "City".
Recently, José Maria Ricciardi and Hiroki Miyazato, the CEO of BESI and the Deputy CEO of Haitong Group, conducted a round of calls on the main London players, having met with the CEO of the London Stock Exchange, Alexander Justham, who congratulated them on the alliance. This meeting is symptomatic of the growing importance that issues in Chinese currency (Renminbi) are gaining in the City, while pointing the inevitable importance that BESI / Haitong should soon gain in this area.
Recently, BESI played a major role on a Haitong Bond Issue, having been Joint Global Coordinator of Haitong Group's new 5-year bond, launched on the morning of 14th April, which was priced at a final spread of 220 basis points over the US Treasury bonds, with a great success and with the order book fully covered almost immediately after the launch of the issue.

We absolutely LOVE it! Oh my gosh, it's perfect. Perfect! Thank you and Emily so so much. We just showed it to our parents, who met each other for the first time yesterday, and they all cried. I'm so glad we had this to share with them this weekend. Your timing is amazing! And your talent is amazing; we're forever grateful for this film.
Thank you, thank you! I can't wait to put this on my blog soon 🙂 xo
Darrell and Emily,
Wow. We don't even have the words to tell you how much we love that video! Tears, smiles, laughter…it is incredible. We have already watched it three times in a row, and I am sure that is just the beginning. You guys did an amazing job of capturing the best day of our lives and we cannot thank you both enough. This is something we will have forever, and we have you two to thank. Please let us know where we can post a fantastic review for you! We are happy to do it asap.
Thank you SO SO much!
Kasey and Ryan
We received the videos. Awesome presentation too! Can I tell you that my mom and I watched it and when it was over we were exhausted because it was like reliving the entire day only on fast forward. We laughed, we cried, we danced in the family room as if we were on the dance floor!! Haha. Fantastic!
Thank you for the memories!
I can't even begin to explain my gratitude. The trailer is AMAZING. I cried, I laughed, I smiled, and probably every other emotion a bride could have. Joe and I appreciate everything you and Emily did that day, and have done to get our trailer and video complete. THANK YOU!!! I promise to send any and everyone I can in your direction.
It is so worth the wait. Looking forward to seeing the rest.
Sincerely…..one happy bride and groom,
Krista and Joe
Darrell and Emily,
Thank you so much for documenting our wedding day like only you could. We are so happy with the trailer. We appreciate your time, care, and vision in capturing the special moments to tell our story. Our lasting memories of our wedding day will be greatly shaped by your work and we are grateful for that. You are such talented artists and we had a blast getting to know you. We wish you all the best!
Stan Truong
Hi Darrell,
LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!! Great work; you really caught all the wonderful details of the magnificent day!
Thank you so much!!
Ashley Davis
Truly, we couldn't be happier with our video and the service, quality and value that Dmart films provided. Our friends used Dmart films for their wedding almost 2 years ago which is how we discovered Darrell and Emily. Thank goodness we did!! They are so professional, friendly, and really let you know that they are there for YOU on your big day. Just speaking with Darrell over the phone before we met made me even more excited for the work they were soon going to preform. They spent the entire day with us from getting ready, to saying goodbye and we recently received the video and couldn't be happier! They captured EVERYTHING! Watching the video, you realize that you never noticed they were even shooting what they were. They caught every little detail which meant so much. For anyone who puts time into really creating the wedding of their dreams, Dmart Films will be sure to capture everything for you to have and share for the rest of your life. I feel as though we even built a relationship with them and have nothing but good things to say. There is no doubt that I will always recommend Dmart Films in years to come. Can't thank them enough!
Melissa & Rich
Without a doubt, the BEST decision we made in the wedding planning process was hiring Dmart Films. Darrell and Emily are the definition of professionals, and it is evident that they love what they do based on the way they treat their clients and the work they deliver! They were non-intrusive, polite, creative, understanding and FUN! One thing that really stood out to me was how seamlessly they worked with our photographer despite never meeting prior to the wedding. They were able to work around the shots our photographer wanted without pulling us in a million different directions. Darrell has a quiet confidence about him that really impressed me. He was able to visualize what I wanted out of our wedding day and offered opinions and advice while still listening to me.
Darrell and Emily captured everything from the little details to the big events on our day, all while blending in effortlessly. Most people at our wedding didn't even know we had a videographer despite the fact that they were everywhere. The equipment they use is phenomenal, they were able to move around the dance floor without tangling people up in wires, or flashing lights in their faces.
We just received our wedding "trailer" which is such a beautiful way to show our wedding day to friends and family without forcing them to watch the full wedding video. They managed to capture our wedding in a way I didn't think was possible. I am beyond excited to see the finish product.
For those Brides & Grooms out there that are contemplating whether you should hire a Videographer, it is 100% worth it. Our day was an absolute blur of fun and excitement. To be able see the moments we missed, relive the moments that meant the most to us, and feel like we're there again is priceless. There are not enough words to describe how grateful we are that we chose Dmart films.
Just watched our wedding video and couldn't be happier, thank you for capturing our special day- it was nothing short of perfect 🙂
Colette W.
WE LOVE IT!!!!!!! Thank you so much, it's amazing!!!!!!! Can't wait to see the whole video–it really blew me away!!!
Darrell & Emily —
It's amazing!!!! We couldn't be happier, thank you so so much!
Jessica & Chris
Hi Darryl,
John and I just got back from our honeymoon and I wanted to take a minute to thank you and Emily for all your hard work. I can't tell you how many compliments we have gotten on your professionalism and demenor throughout our event. John and I had a wonderful time and hope that you and Emily did too.
Thank you again for everything, words can't express what it meant to us to have two calm, happy professionals sharing in our day with us. I will absolutely be recommending to you everyone I know, and will also be putting up a review on weddingwire. Let me know if there are any other sites that you would like me to post a review on, I would be more than happy to do that.
Words can't describe how much we LOVE the trailer. Getting through the work day until we could watch it together last night was so difficult but absolutely worth the wait. Our families loved the video as well, I think my Mom has watched it 50 times between last night and today :). It was so fun to see parts of the day we missed (each other getting ready) and relive the parts of the day that went by in a blur. We were also really happy to see so many of our loved ones having such a good time. My Dad commented that he didn't even know you two were there, he couldn't believe the amazing footage you got! We all agreed that it brought us right back to our special day and I can't thank you enough for that.
Thanks again,
I just wanted to send a quick note to say thank you to you and Emily for an incredible day yesterday! Marc and I so enjoyed having you there to capture our special moments and document the day for us. Your presence was calming and inviting to our guests and completely unintrusive which is exactly what we were hoping for. We appreciate the time and energy you dedicated to us and our families and we can't wait to see the video! Thank you so much for being with us and we are SO looking forward to the finished product!
Wanted to let you know that we have the video and we absolutely love it! Thank you for capturing our day so beautifully!
All Our Best,
Marc and Blair Siegel
Dear Darrell & Emily,
WOW the wedding trailer is AMAZING!!! Perfect actually. Alana and I were crazy excited when you notified us about the trailer being up, and it sure did not disappoint! We absolutely LOVE it and definitely feel that the essence and spirit of our day was captured, that our story was told. The angles and artistic shots were so skillfully done- just what we were hoping for- and the editing is flawless. Alana was immediately calling all of our family and friends to share the video with them- it was great! And yet, as happy as we are about your skill sets, what REALLY brings us joy and what we are really thankful for is the fact that we met class-act individuals with beautiful and fun personalities on the day we met you both at Lou's Bridal Showcase. We can't even begin to tell you how much we appreciate you and how grateful we are to God that He allowed our paths to meet. We'd recommend you to anybody in a heartbeat, but the honor was truly ours to have you at our wedding, and to call you both FRIENDS!! We love you guys!!!
Warmest regards,
Alana & Ro
Amazing Darrell!!!!! I cried the whole video and so I have heard back on the main land our family is crying as well and absolutely loving your work!!! Thanks so much for your time and effort!! We really appreciate it!
Love Angela & Joe
Just watched our wedding video and couldn't be happier, thank you for capturing our special day- it was nothing short of perfect 🙂
Guys – Great job on Natalie and Kevin's trailer. Saw it for the first time yesterday and I think I have watched it at least a dozen times already. I love it. Well done! I wasn't expecting this at all. Natalie & Kevin handled it. They did a great job selecting Dmart Films. Professionally done, I love all of the candid shots. It's great having this since you forget so much of that day, and it even shows me parts of the day I wasn't able to see. Music choice and mix was perfect. Makes me smile each time I watch it. Without a doubt one of the happiest days of my life. And you recorded it. Thanks for capturing these precious moments for us to view now and in years to come.
Father of the Bride,
Jim Corey
Alex and I would just like to thank Darrell for doing an AMAZING job on our trailer. We and everyone we show can not get enough of it! I can't believe the creativity that went into our video. We are more then satisfied and we haven't even seen the full version! This guy truly has a passion for video and wants nothing less of perfection for his clients. People who didn't even go to the wedding said they teared up watching our trailer! That tells you that he really puts emotion into his work. It was great working with him and we feel lucky to have snatched him up for our wedding!
Dmart Films Company are true professionals. Excellent customer service, Excellent product, and Excellent Delivery. I give two thumbs up, and it would be a mistake not to consider the fine film professionals, Darrell Martinelli and Emily Adams, to capture your most important day. They made our wedding a beautiful memory to cherish forever. I am a huge fan and willing to be a testimonial for anyone that wants to consider Dmart Films for their big day. Feel free to contact me email@example.com. – The Groom aka Daniel Giusti
Just want you to know that I and everyone who I know has watched this film felt utter joy after viewing it. Your professionalism is stellar. You knew how to capture the essence of the day with all its ambiance and put it into one short clip. It was nothing short of unbelievable. Every time I watch it (about once a week…lol), I get teary eyed. You did a superb job and I can't wait to see the full footage. I would recommend you to anybody. Best, Lorraine McClure, Patrice's mom
Darrell has an amazing talent to capture the most important moments in a couples' wedding day, and inturn, life! He did such a beautiful job on this video that the amount of people watching it within the first hour of its posting was so great that it caused the website to freeze!! This man is a genius.
Christina D.
Hi Darrell,
Wow, the video trailer was more than I could've hoped for…amazing!! You know what's even more amazing? Jonathan cried when he watched it (that will be our little secret :-)!! He loved it and feels so bad for trying to "veto" you guys hahaha. We loved the details that you captured, it was almost as you knew exactly what things were most important to us. Thank you so much, we LOVED it!!
Just viewed your video clip of the McClure wedding –
Very Impressive, the quality/composition is excellent!
The best video I've seen of a wedding –
Will recommend you to people looking for services like yours –
Keep up the good work, remember, the best sell is word of Mouth –
Your work is worthy of an outstanding award in videos –
Be Well, Success be with you always –
Viewed the wedding clip of the Wilent Wedding……absolutely amazing. You captured the essence of their love for each other and their family in a 6 minute clip….very impressive. Beautiful work!

Kim Jong Kook Shares Shot With Basketball Legend Kobe Byrant
It looks like Kim Jong Kook recently got a chance to meet basketball legend Kobe Bryant!
On June 23, Kim Jong Kook shared a photo of himself with Kobe Bryant, who recently retired from the Los Angeles Lakers. He writes, "Together with a real legend… I'm not that big… It's because I sat too much in the front. I should be more conscious in the future. Kobe Bryant. Legend. LA Lakers. Let's take a better picture next time. But to think he's younger than me."
Kim Jong Kook left his followers curious as to what brought the two together, the only possible clue from the picture being the fact that they both have earpieces on.
Meanwhile, Kim Jong Kook is currently hosting variety show "Welcome Show" on KBS.

text: SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Ranchettes have replaced working ranches in much of California, and now there are pint-sized cows to match. In the past two years, Bev Boriolo, 72, and her husband, Don, have built a herd of 12 miniature Hereford cattle, all well under 4 feet tall. The couple, who live on a grassy 30-acre parcel near Plymouth, Calif., are raising animals for a small but growing niche in the livestock business: little cattle for little ranches. The smallest of the miniature breeds stand less than 3 feet tall, full grown. They're cute, they keep the weeds down, and, as Boriolo says, "they're as sweet as the dickens" - something she attributes to their small stature. "They think that since they're looking up at you, they have to do what you tell 'em," she said. On a recent breezy evening, the herd, with furry red coats and placid white faces, gathered by the fence behind the Boriolos' pool. There was not a moo of complaint. For now, the money in micro-beef is in breeding: raising adorable cattle and selling them - for $3,500 and up - not as meat, but as the parents of another herd-to-be. As starter livestock on limited acreage, miniature cattle make a lot of sense, said Glenn Nader, a Sacramento Valley livestock adviser with the University of California Cooperative Extension. "We try to tell people to pick animals that fit their environment," he said. Miniature breeds generally weigh one-third to half as much as full-size cattle - which typically run 1,200 pounds and more than 4.5 feet for a full-grown cow and 2,000 pounds and close to 5 feet tall for a bull. A mini-rancher, therefore, can often get by without building heavy-duty fences and corrals. "These are little closer to the size of sheep, where you can handle them without a lot of expensive equipment," Nader said. In California, at least a half-dozen breeders are producing miniature Herefords, the most popular show breed. They're an annual curiosity at the State Fair. Bob Potter, the owner of this year's grand champion bull, said he regularly gets inquiries from people interested in starting a herd of their own. "It's just gone off the hook," said Potter, a wiry 75-year-old with a waxed mustache. He and his wife, Peggy, have 32 animals on 10 acres in Winton, near Merced, and another 16 on rented land in Texas. "The California market is so strong, I may go down to Texas and bring 'em all back," he said. On some ranches, the little cows are put to work. In the Panoche Valley, southeast of Hollister, Calif., Tracie Cone and Anna Marie dos Remedios use their miniature Herefords to trim the grass in their organic vineyard. Several of their 12 animals also spend time on the road each year, showing at fairs and competitions. Ribbons at major shows boost the animals' value as breeding stock. For Cone and dos Remedios, both vegetarians, that's important - they don't intend to ever sell their animals to slaughter. Miniature cattle have been bred in the United States for at least 60 years, but they remain scarce. Kenny Petersen, a major mini-Hereford breeder in Nebraska, put the national population of the breed as high as 3,000. Miniature Angus cattle are somewhat more numerous, he said. The size of the national commercial beef herd hovers around 100 million. Miniature cattle are descended from ordinary full-size cattle. Over the years, breeders have paired small cows with small bulls to yield ever-smaller offspring. Richard Gradwohl, a retired community college teacher who runs the International Miniature Cattle Breeders Society and Registry (minicattle.com) from his small farm near Seattle, has developed 18 unique crossbreeds, including one with markings that resemble a panda's, and has spread those genes around the globe. "We've shipped animals, semen, embryos," he said. "We've tried to populate the world with miniature cattle."

Is it legal to own body armor in the U.S.?
Yes, for the time being, it is widely legal to wear and purchase body armor. As long as you are a U.S. citizen living in the country and a non-felon (some felonies disqualify), you can own body armor.
I say 'for the time being' because congressional bill H.R.378 has just been introduced (JAN-2015) by three democrats who are proposing to ban certain body armor nationwide (level III or better), except of course for themselves, govt agencies and 'officials' – and the police.
Current prohibition: Residents of Connecticut are prohibited from buying body armor.
Here's more on the proposed congressional ban which may affect many of you who perhaps wear body armor for safety while at the gun range (or for any of the other logical reasons as listed below).
The information below that is a re-post from an earlier article in which I described the various types (levels) of body armor. Curious to hear from you on the proposed ban, as well as your experiences/recommendations regarding body armor. I have a feeling there's going to be a run on body armor…
Mac Slavo of SHTFplan.com recently reports:
Nationwide Ban On Personal Body Armor Proposed In Congress: "10 Years Imprisonment" For Possession
In the wake of the Sandy Hook school shooting politicians from coast-to-coast attempted to push through legislation that would ban a host of guns, magazines and accessories. Though their efforts failed for the most part, those who would take away our ability to defend ourselves always have another tyrannical card up their sleeves.
The latest efforts to attack personal defense as a natural birthright comes from distinguished Congressional representatives Alcee Hastings (D-FL), Robin Kelly (D-IL) and Danny Davis (D-IL) and takes aim not at your ability to possess a firearm, but rather, to protect yourself from criminals who own them.
HR 378, dubbed the Responsible Body Armor Possession Act, would make it illegal for civilians to own "enhanced body armor" such as helmets, shields or armor plates that meet or exceed Type III protection. The bill would exempt law enforcement officers and other government officials.
The co-sponsors of the bill believe body armor in the hands of private citizens to be so dangerous that they intend to impose a 10 year federal prison sentence on those found to be in possession of the contraband.
The new law would still allow Americans to own Type I and Type II protection, which are designed to stop calibers ranging from .22 caliber to .357 Magnum respectively. Type III body armor is designed to stop higher velocity hand gun rounds like a high-velocity 9mm or .44 magnum and rifle rounds like the AK-47′s 7.62x39mm. Type IV, often reserved for special law enforcement response teams, is capable of stopping even armor piercing rounds from rifles.
Should such a law be passed, Americans would no longer have the ability to determine for themselves which type of body armor is best suited for their needs. Instead, we would be limited to protection from only a handful of calibers. And, as we well know, as soon as criminals with ill intent get wind that their victims probably won't own body armor that's able to stop a .44 or high velocity 9mm round, they'll quickly switch to new weapons capable of ripping through "legal" protection.
Who can buy body armor
It is your responsibility to do due-diligence regarding body armor transactions conforming to U.S. and Federal, State and Local Statutes, Codes, and Ordinances and your local laws and regulations.
Unless you live in Connecticut, it is generally the case that law-abiding citizens are legally allowed to purchase and wear body armor.
When purchasing body armor, a background or criminal history is NOT run on the individual buying the body armor. That means that it is your responsibility to be sure that you are legally allowed to purchase body armor. If you are caught with body armor and have a felony criminal record (certain felonies prohibit ownership of body armor), you will be held responsible for owning the body armor and will have to accept any and all consequences. Just saying…
Types of body armor
Kevlar provides exceptional protection to ballistic threats. Worn regularly by a diverse range of individuals, vests of this material can stop a variety of bullets- from shotgun, to .44 magnum rounds.
Laminated Kevlar provides additional protection by also being stab and spike resistant against improvised weapons such as knives, shanks, and stabbing attacks with things like tools or broken bottles, etc.
Ballistic plates… ceramic, polyethylene, or steel body armor plates fitted in plate carrier vests can offer the highest protection including rifle rounds.
Not all body armor offers the same protection, and it is important to remember that nothing is entirely "bulletproof". There will always be great danger in these types of situations.
Having said that, generally, a highly recommended level of armor protection is "Level IIIa" or even better — "Level III (hard body armor)".
Level III body armor is designed to protect against rifle calibers up to 7.62×51 or .308 Winchester at a velocity of 2780 ft/s, as well as all lower level calibers.
Levels of body armor
All body armor products are categorized into one of six levels.
Protection begins at Level I which offers the least amount of protection and increases to Level IV which offers the most amount of protection.
General description…
Type I
Type IIa
(9 mm; .40 S&W; .45 ACP)
Type II
(9 mm; .357 Magnum)
Type IIIa
(.357 SIG; .44 Magnum)
Type III
(Rifles, e.g. 7.62×51mm NATO M80 ball)
Type IV
(Armor Piercing Rifle, e.g. .30-06 M2 (AP) Springfield)
Who uses body armor?
Obviously anyone who chooses to protect them-self from this risk because of their concern that at some point they may be in a potentially dangerous environment. An increasing number of ordinary citizens are considering their security for a SHTF collapse scenario where social-chaos may one day rule the streets.
Military contractors
Police departments
Airport Police
Security guards
Bounty hunters
Firearms instructors
Store owners (e.g. jewelry stores, etc..)
U.S. citizens

"Milk could be the key to beating crippling arthritis," reports the Daily Express, while the Daily Mail adds that, "A glass of milk a day keeps arthritis at bay".
Both headlines are potentially misleading. The study the papers were reporting on was about slowing the progression of osteoarthritis in the knee joints, rather than preventing it occurring in the first place.
The study focused on a single aspect of osteoarthritis, rather than making a general assessment of the effects of the disease. This single aspect was the gap in the knee joint (joint gap width) seen on X-ray, which is an established clinical measure of the progression of the condition.
The study found that for women who regularly drank milk, the joint gap did not reduce as much after four years compared with those who drank less or no milk – a good sign for the milk drinkers. The joint gap difference between those drinking the most milk (more than seven glasses per week) and no milk was 0.12mm after four years.
Some readers may be thinking, so what does that mean and is it important? One of the main limitations of the study is that it focused on a very narrow outcome: joint gap width. It is unclear if the smaller reduction in joint gap width reported was of any significant benefit to people with osteoarthritis on a practical level.
While the study's implications may be vague at this stage, on a broader level the study reminds us of the importance of getting the right amount of calcium in your diet, which helps strengthen bones. Read more about improving your bone health.
Where did the story come from?
The study was carried out by researchers from Harvard Medical School in the US and was funded by the US National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute.
It was published in the peer-reviewed medical journal, Arthritis Care and Research.
While the main body of the Daily Express' and Daily Mail's content was accurate, both newspapers' headlines were somewhat inaccurate.
The Express implied that milk can relieve the pain of arthritis. This is unproven, as the study did not examine whether milk consumption was related to arthritic knee pain.
The Mail stated that milk kept "arthritis at bay". But this study involved people who already had the condition, so this statement is untrue. The study was actually about whether milk helped stop the arthritis getting any worse, not whether milk prevented it from occurring in the first place.
What kind of research was this?
This was a prospective cohort study assessing whether milk intake affected osteoarthritis progression in the knee.
Arthritis is a common condition that causes pain and inflammation within a joint. In people affected by osteoarthritis, the cartilage (connective tissue) between their bones gradually wastes away, leading to painful rubbing of bone on bone in the joints. The most frequently affected joints are in the hands, spine, knees and hips.
Osteoarthritis often develops in people who are over the age of 50. However, it can develop at any age as a result of an injury or another joint-related condition.
Milk has long been known to be beneficial to bones, so the researchers wanted to find out if people who drink more milk might have slower worsening of their knee osteoarthritis.
A cohort study is a practical way of assessing whether milk could affect osteoarthritis progression.
However, the limitations of this study include the fact that there are many other factors (confounders) that could also influence this.
All of these need to be accounted for if the role of milk is to be isolated and assessed for its individual impact. Practically, this is very difficult and residual confounding often biases the results to some degree.
A randomised controlled trial (RCT) would be the ideal study design, but is often far more costly to perform.
What did the research involve?
The researchers used 2,148 participants (and tested 3,064 knees) with radiographically diagnosed knee osteoarthritis who were participating in the US Osteoarthritis Initiative. Each had dietary information gathered at baseline and were followed up at one, two, three and four-year time points to assess knee osteoarthritis progression.
Milk consumption was assessed using a food frequency questionnaire completed at baseline. Participants were asked how often they had drunk milk (any kind) in the past 12 months.
Progression of knee osteoarthritis was measured using quantitative joint space width (JSW) between the medial femur and tibia of the knee based on plain radiographs, a standard clinical measure.
Cartilage acts as a "shock absorber" in the knee, so when it is faulty or wears away – as is the case in osteoarthritis – the joint can become painful and stiff, and normal range of movement can be limited. Narrowing joint space indicates cartilage loss and worsening osteoarthritis.
Only participants with a Kellgren and Lawrence grade (a widely used diagnostic classification for osteoarthritis) of 2 or 3 knee osteoarthritis were included:
- grade 2 – definite osteophytes, definite narrowing of joint space
- grade 3 – moderate multiple osteophytes, definite narrowing of joint space, some sclerosis and possible deformity of bone contour
Standard statistical methods were used to test if there was an independent association between milk intake and a decrease in JSW over time. Researchers accounted for baseline disease severity, body mass index, dietary factors and a range of additional potential confounders.
What were the basic results?
The main finding was a significant dose-response relationship between baseline milk intake and adjusted mean decrease of JSW in women (p for trend 0.014) at four-year follow-up.
With increasing levels of milk intake (none, three or fewer, four to six, and seven and more glasses per week), the mean decreases of JSW were 0.38mm, 0.29mm, 0.29mm and 0.26mm respectively.
This showed milk drinkers had less narrowing, meaning their osteoarthritis was not deteriorating as much as those drinking less milk.
In men, there was no significant association between milk consumption and the decrease of JSW.
Analysis was adjusted for baseline disease severity, body mass index, dietary factors and other potential confounders.
How did the researchers interpret the results?
The researchers stated that their "results suggest that frequent milk consumption may be associated with reduced OA [osteoarthritis] progression in women. Replication of these novel findings in other prospective studies demonstrating the increase in milk consumption leads to delay in knee OA progression are needed."
The results indicated that women who regularly drink milk have slower knee osteoarthritis disease progression compared with those drinking less milk over a four-year period. This was found to be the case in women, but not in men.
The study strengths included its prospective design, the large number of subjects with knee osteoarthritis, and the use of an objective assessment of disease progression. The researchers measured this using a single clinical measure of knee osteoarthritis progression: joint space width.
Its main weakness was that it relied solely on joint space width to show disease progression. It was not clear if the small joint width differences reported actually made any positive differences to patients' lives or feelings about living with the condition.
The research also did not make a functional assessment of any change in knee mobility, pain or the ability to perform day-to-day activities. These would have been welcome additions to this study for those who have the condition. This was probably a result of the design of the study and the inherent restrictions of using an existing data set.
The study adjusted for many potential confounders, but this may not have been completely effective, so residual confounding could still have influenced the results in women. This means that this study cannot prove milk is the cause of the beneficial joint space outcomes, as it may be caused by other factors.
The authors have called for more prospective studies to be performed based on its initial findings. We suggest further studies would benefit from including functional and quality of life assessments to gauge improvements in the progression of knee osteoarthritis.

World Orphans Day is Observed Monday, November 13
Contact: Roger Piggott,
The Stars Foundation
, 704-437-6490
NASHVILLE, Nov. 13, 2017 /
Christian Newswire
/ -- On Monday, November 13 there will be events, vigils and fundraisers commemorating World Orphans Day in various countries around the world. Facilitated by a Nashville based organization, The Stars Foundation, the flagship platform for orphans is being expanded to include an internationally promoted World Orphans Day theme song in 2018.
"We are excited to announce that in 2017, over 50 countries, their orphan care and adoption charities, and government officials, or media recognize the day," stated Cheryl Piggott, Founder of World Orphans Day and The Stars Foundation.
Piggott continues, "Ninety nine percent of the orphaned children are never adopted. Orphanages in third world countries are educating, feeding and supporting to the best of their abilities, but more effort needs to be exerted by the global community. Literally, according to one organization, it would take 80,000 orphanages that hold 500 each just to house the children orphaned by AIDS in Sub Saharan Africa alone. I can't fathom that, but it is heartbreaking and it's what drives us to do our little part of the solution for orphans.
"Over 60,000,000 children in the world go to bed hungry at night, and most of those are orphans," stated Gary Van Dyke, CEO of Food for Orphans, who joins as one of the Executive Council members of the World Orphans Day campaign.
Piggott added, "We are focusing our efforts in 2018 to bring the entertainment community collectively together for a stellar music video production at several special events that will feature our World Orphans Day theme song. The song has been selected and artists' invitations to participate will be forthcoming. Our producer is Kent Wells, one of the top producers in Nashville, who is known for his excellent productions with numerous well-known country artists."
The Stars Foundation
is a United States based entertainment industry nonprofit 501(c) 3 with a mission to serve as an advocacy organization for peace and children's rights, contributing to the quality of life of Americans as well as the victims to AIDS, natural disasters and poverty on an international level.

The aim of this paper is, first, to address three recent criticisms of Hume's account of the circumstances of justice, and secondly, to consider how an account of the circumstances of justice may be deployed in philosophical argument when detached from Hume's own narrow concern with rules of property. Against the criticisms lodged by Brian Barry and Martha Nussbaum, I argue that Hume does not build a conception of justice as mutual advantage into the circumstances of justice. Against the criticism lodged against modern invocations of the circumstances of justice by Gerry Cohen, I argue that any plausible account of deliberative reflection must be at once action-guiding and world-guided. This allows an account of the circumstances of justice—those features of the world no plausible theory of justice can idealize away—to do some justificatory work.

The Israeli defender moved to Stamford Bridge in a £5m deal from Bolton in July 2007, but made just 13 appearances for the Blues before he was sold to Manchester City by his now Portsmouth boss Avram Grant.
But the 28-year-old centre back insists relegated Pompey can pull off, arguably, the greatest shock in this famous competition's history – provided they approach the game with the right mentality.
"In football you do not need to have fear," Ben-Haim said. "You need a lot of desire and passion to try to do your best. After the game if you come back to the dressing room having done your best, even if it is not good enough we will not be very, very disappointed. But in one game anything can happen."
He added: "I know all the players, yet even though I trained with them, I don't think [Frank] Lampard, [Didier] Drogba or [Nicolas] Anelka do the same movements. They are unpredictable. But I have also played against them before so it is not something to get too excited about."

We have some penguin lovers in our house especially my kindergartener, but my preschooler also enjoys them as well. We read "National Geographic Kids Penguins!" book. All of their books have fun pictures, great facts that are easy for kids to understand, and even jokes.
We also look through a Zoo Book magazine about penguins. The magazines are geared toward older kids, but there are some fun pictures throughout and it helped us remember things we learned about in the other book.
We also read this online book about penguins on Starfall. This is even more basic than the previous two sources so if you have a pretty small audience or one just not interested in penguins then it is a great one. We also did the letter p things on Starfall while we were there.
Here is a fun coloring page about penguins and the letter P.
Here is an entire printable pack P is for Penguins that includes another cute coloring page pictured below.
2 Teaching Mommies has a Polar Lands pack with fun penguin printables like these below.
It also includes this fun "Feed the Penguin" activity. Instead of actual feeding the penguin I made some word strips with some basic sight words and the names of our family members for my son to read as he "fed" the penguin. I have noticed that he recognizes a lot of words that I have never taught him so it is fun to see what he knows.
The words I used were basic like, "to", "the", "see", "go" to name a few.
Here is a pattern for a penguin mask craft. Ours looks a little different. We started making it and my son thought it was kind of creepy so we don't have a beak or any of the extras and decided to do something else instead. I did get him to use the mask long enough for a picture.A couple of years ago I made an edible penguin with my middle son I when the mask wasn't working out I decided to do that again with things I had on hand. I didn't have the exact things on hand as I did before, but some of the same things. Last time I used a hershey kiss for the head. This time I used a rolo for the head, oreo for the body, and starburst for the feet and beak.
National Geographic's website has this fun little online game as well as videos of penguins that we explored as well.
You can also check out our penguin activities from 2011 and from 2012.

March 02, 2011 07:45 ET
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA--(Marketwire - March 2, 2011) - Based on its recent analysis of the vein illumination devices market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes AccuVein LLC with the 2011 North America Frost & Sullivan Award New Product Innovation for the AccuVein AV300. AccuVein's innovative AV300 was developed to plug the gaps of the currently available products. Its convenient form factor, ease of use and price are a definite improvement over the previous products, which are cumbersome, expensive and time consuming to set up.
The AV300 is portable in the small hand-held configuration and runs on a rechargeable battery, which provides more than two hours of continuous use -- usually sufficient for as many as 360 IV insertions or blood draws. Without requiring an electrical outlet, it enables the user to move it from one limb to the other without hassle.
"The company conducted extensive human factor studies and maintained a constant focus on size, weight, visual appearance and user interface," says Frost & Sullivan Industry Analyst Saju John Mathew. "Frost & Sullivan notes that the device reduces the number of attempts in gaining vascular access, resulting in improved patient satisfaction, as well as time and cost savings. As it has no contact with the skin, it decreases cross contamination."
AccuVein's unique implementation remains in focus over a range of distance through the use of laser-based projection. This ensures that the image displays clearly despite any hand jitter by the nurse or movement by the patient; as in the case of a neonate or when a patient is transported in an ambulance. The accompanying software is robust, with turn-on and visualization capability in less than two seconds, while existing devices in the market require a daily calibration of nearly five minutes to perform and at least one minute to boot.
The product supplements existing venipuncture techniques and its portability ensures that it can be used across a wide range of applications including ambulances, pediatric and remote medical care. The AV300 weighs only 10 oz, while the present platforms of devices weigh at least 50 lbs.
The AV300 vein viewing system can be used as a handheld device or in conjunction with several hands-free accessories, including a wheeled stand and a flexible arm with a clamp that can secure the device to a phlebotomy station. The company's R&D team continues to explore other configurations such as head mounts and mounting on a tourniquet.
While other competitors charge nearly $20,000, the AV300 costs less than $5000. At this price, customers can often obtain a return on investment of only a few months.
"The remarkable price advantage brings it within easy reach for hospitals, physicians' offices, the home healthcare market and emergency medical technicians," notes Saju. "A recent survey conducted on 348 patients showed that participants were willing to travel 13 to 14 miles further to visit a healthcare center/hospital that uses the AccuVein AV300."
The AV300 shows a definite presence in the world market and a significant stake in the $2 billion U.S. market. It is used in one out of every 12 hospitals/healthcare centers in the United States.
Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has demonstrated innovation in developing a product. The recipient has leveraged leading edge technologies to offer value added features with an impressive ROI for customers. In turn, the innovation has enabled the company to acquire new customers and increase their market penetration.
Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Awards recognize companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis and extensive secondary research in order to identify best practices in the industry.
About AccuVein LLC
AccuVein LLC is a supplier of innovative, cutting-edge medical devices. The AV300 is a breakthrough product, allowing health care providers to see a map of the position of peripheral veins on the skin's surface with the goal of helping to improve venipuncture procedures. Built using AccuVein's expertise in medical device miniaturization and user-intuitive design, the AV300 is the world's first portable, non-contact vein illumination solution. AccuVein has filed applications for more than a dozen patents on the AV300's technology. It is in use at more than 500 U.S. hospitals and available for sale in over 50 countries.

Bloody Bill - Poem by David SmithWhite
I blame it all on bloody Bill Shakespeare.
I blame it all on the plays of the Bard.
No counterfeit feelings are faked there.
True love, they teach, can be hard.
I blame it all on bloody Bill Shakespeare,
and the furious battles of yore.
The glory encrusted and caked there,
stain the pages of history with gore.
I could give you a pamphlet,
on the pride of Prince Hamlet,
and the bodies that litter the stage.
In his testosterone funk, this prototype punk,
junked the state, his family, the age.
I blame it all on bloody Bill Shakespeare.
I blame it all on plays like Othello.
The depiction of evil it makes there:
all green-eyed monsters are yellow!
I blame it all on bloody Bill Shakespeare.
On plays like A Winter's Tale.
The exile of loved ones forsaken there,
pay their tribute to the jealous male.
I can give you a journal, of Sonnets eternal,
of horizons receding, and the briefness of life.
You too can go crazy in pursuit of dark ladies,
and that handsome young man,
that might be a wife!
I blame it all on bloody Bill Shakespeare,
and the wisdom that marks the Fool.
On the hubris and folly of King Lear,
who was vain, mean-spirited, and cruel.
I blame it all on bloody Bill Shakespeare,
like a Timon that curses the world.
That suffers not one even break there,
and remains, at the end, unfulfilled.
I could give you a dossier, on Shylock and Portia,
and the fixed compound interest on flesh.
With the merchant's resurgence,
there's the moral detergent,
and the scour of satire and jest.
I blame it all on bloody Bill Shakespeare.
On plays like Richard the Third.
The knowing self-hatred displayed there,
resolving in murder absurd.
I blame it all on bloody Bill Shakespeare.
I blame it all on plays like Macbeth.
The fate of great kingdoms are staked there;
on domestic ambitions and death.
So why should it please ya, to see Julius Caesar,
a victim of noble betrayal?
With true friends like Brutus, to help execute us,
what other excuses to fail?
I blame it all on bloody Bill Shakespeare.
I blame it all on the plays of the Bard.
This pain in the heart, how it aches there;
one more star-crossed lover is scarred.

This poem is just not 'nice', its brilliant. This thing could not have been writen by almost everybody I've read up to date. There may be those who don't sat that because when something is really, really good I've noticed a tendancy by some
to play it down. Its as if, they don't want you to know how good it was because
then you would think you were better than them. I see no problem in that.
Because I know good stuff when I read it and I'm not afraid to say so. This was
damn good. Hell, it was great! I see some even gave it less than a ten, to
Hell with that. This is nothing but a 10. Pass it on.

Whether you meant it or not, you illustrate why Shakespeare was so brilliant and why he still has resonance these days.
I alweays though that without his insight Freud and Jung and the ir followers would not have established themselves.

My Week in Sketches7:15 AM
I got to spend a lot of days with my mom this weekend! (My dad was gone playing in a softball tournament.) I was still feeling a little sniffly from a lingering cold, but my mom took care of that in no time.
...She's also pretty great at making sure I'm all set in the coffee department.
We watched Curb Appeal together on HGTV. It's one of our favorites.
I went to a friend's birthday BBQ, and got to meet his adorable little son for the first time.
When it's finally time for me to leave and head home, my mom always threatens to keep me for one more day. I don't mind.
Back at work! Apparently this was the most memorable moment of the day. Me sitting at my desk and watching coworkers walk by.
My coworkers and I banded together to move a bunch of boxes from one part of our office to the second floor. It was hot and stuffy and sort of miserable, but somehow it felt like a hilarious time that we got through together.
