This month we are going to go really super easy on you! This month we are going to make pancakes and/or waffles!Ha! I find waffles and pancakes to be anything but easy. I'll admit that I do not have a lot of waffle and pancake experience (neither eating nor making). My mother never made either while I was growing up and I can't remember eating either before undergrad. I don't even have a memory of specifically eating them then but I am just going to assume that I probably tried pancakes at least once. I know I definitely did not go anywhere near the waffle maker in the dining hall.
I remember some years ago reaching for the waffle iron that an old roommate left and armed with a recipe from Good Eats, I was expecting some, well, good eats. Uhm. How does one even use a waffle maker? How do you know when they're finished? Yeah. I had to Google that. And it still was a disaster. Waffles stuck. Batter oozed. Things burned.
Two years ago I visited a friend and she made waffles for breakfast. They were great as the "bread" for my eggs (I cannot fathom pouring syrup over waffles or pancakes*) so I came home with the waffle bug again. This was right when I was first growing my starter. One weekend I made the most delicious and buttery sourdough waffles. I loved them so much that I invited a friend over for breakfast just so that I could make them again.
BUT. There is always a but. My waffles weren't crispy. They were delicious but soft. How on earth do you keep your waffles crispy? I read about keeping them warm in the oven but that did not work for me. I swear they were soft within seconds of taking them off the waffle iron. I read about using egg whites and cornstarch. Nope and nope.
Seriously, how do you do it? Give me your best waffle tips. Please.
I'm sure it's me though. It could even be partly waffle iron. I decided to brave waffles again for this challenge because I am little bit more afraid of pancakes.. I thought I'd go with a carrot cake waffle (lots of flavour!) and probably turn them into ice cream sandwiches dipped (or not) in chocolate.
That didn't quite work out. I would get into the mess that was the first six waffles but I am sure you can guess. But eventually I had tasty waffles, pineapple ice cream, a delicious buttermilk syrup and maraschino cherries that have been soaking in rum since October. And all of that equals waffle sundaes and/or happiness.
*(Side note: I posted on Facebook a couple weeks ago that though I loved sweet things (chocolate, ice cream, cake, cookies, ice cream, chocolate...), I could not pour syrup on waffles or pancakes. I was immediately ostracized. Only one person agreed with me (no surprise that he's one of my best friends). Once you start pouring syrup over things, it's dessert. I am not opposed to dessert for breakfast (I have had ice cream for breakfast A LOT) but I am opposed to dessert for breakfast and pretending that it's not dessert. Anyone else out there on the no syrup train?)
Carrot Cake Waffles (adapted from King Arthur's Classic Sourdough Waffles)
Overnight Sponge
1 cup all purpose flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 cup 166% sourdough starter, unfed
2 cups buttermilk
2 tablespoons sugar
All of overnight sponge
2 eggs
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups shredded carrots
In a large bowl combine all the ingredients for the overnight sponge, cover and leave at room temperature overnight or for at least 8 hours.
Plug in and heat waffle iron.
In a small bowl, beat eggs, oil and vanilla then add to overnight sponge. Add salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and stir until combined. Stir in baking soda, mixture will bubble. Quickly fold in carrots.
Cook according to manufacturer's directions on your waffle iron
Pineapple Ice Cream
I don't own an ice cream maker. I consider it the ultimate unitasker and my kitchen is too small to justify the purchase. I used a shortcut for this ice cream and I loved it!
8 oz whipped topping (e.g. Cool Whip)
14 oz condensed milk
20 oz crushed pineapples
Gently combine the whipped topping and condensed milk. Don't mix too much but try to make it as evenly mixed as possible. Freeze for 2 hours.
Stir in drained pineapples. Freeze until hardened or about 4 hours.
Buttermilk Syrup
I found the recipe here on Tasty Kitchen and it's the first time that syrup has really worked for me. The only thing I did differently was to cook it for a few minutes after adding the baking soda so that I could get that beautiful colour. Really loved this!
Finally, assemble your sundae as you desire, sprinkle on some nuts (or even add them to your waffle batter. Maybe you like raisins in your carrot cake? Go for it!). Top with a rum soaked cherry. Devour.

I still can't believe I completed all my goals for week one so here we go week two!!
Wanting to build on what I started in week one, I was going to add weight training and some more cardio. I wasn't entirely sure of my plan when I went to the gym this morning so I did my 30 minutes walking on the treadmill and then 15 minutes on the bike. While I was on the bike, I was watching everyone on the weight machines and realizing that i had no idea how to use the majority of them. I hate walking up to a machine not having a clue how to use it. I'm going to set up an appointment with the gym trainer so that they can go through the machines with me. So for this week, I will be using free weights in the aerobics studio when it's empty or my own 8 pound weights at home.
My Goals for Week Two!
1. Walk 30 minutes per day, bike for 15 minutes per day.
2. Resistance training, 4 days this week. (See below)
2. Drink 3 litres of water per day.
3. Eat at least 6 servings of fruits & veggies per day.
4. Try a new recipe.
5. Set up an appointment with gym trainer.
Resistance Training - two sets of 10 of each.
Squats, Lunges
Crunches, Reverse Crunches
Bicep Curls, Tricep Pushbacks, Lateral Raises, Shoulder Press
I would have "go to WW meeting" on this list for Monday but it's Labor Day so no meeting till next Monday (13th).
Here we go!

IT'S BEEN FIVE YEARS since the housing market began to crack and still no sign of reprieve for investors. New home sales fell for the third straight month in July, and earlier this month the Dow Jones U.S. Home Construction index hit its lowest point since mid-2009. Shares of the nation's largest homebuilder, (ticker: PHM), fell to $3.40, their lowest level in 18 years. They closed yesterday at $4.61.
At a Glance
PulteGroup 7.375% Senior Notes of 2046 (ticker: PHA)
|52-Week Range
|$24.61 - $17.74
|Current Yield
7.375% Senior Notes of 2046
Source: FactSet
Things are bad, but they aren't that bad, particularly when you take a look at Pulte's balance sheet. Granted, the company has $3.3 billion in long-term debt, but it has no significant maturities until 2014—and a third of the debt doesn't come due until after 2030. Offsetting that is $1.1 billion in unrestricted cash.
So as relentless as the housing market's decline has been, Pulte is in no danger of insolvency.
It has some major undervalued assets as well. Pulte controls 142,000 building lots across 28 states and 60 markets. Based on the company's enterprise value of $3.8 billion, those lots are valued at $27,000 each.
Pulte operates in three basic segments: starter homes, under the Centex brand; move-up homes, under the Pulte brand; and active adult communities, under Del Webb. The company is expected to lose $82 million, or 22 cents a share, this year on revenue of $3.95 billion. Analysts think it will break into the black next year, with EPS of 19 cents.
While it's hard to make a fundamental case for the stock, at their current price, Pulte's shares are a long-dated option on the housing market.
Pulte's debt, as we've pointed out before, is a different story. In particular we're talking about a $150 million 7.375% senior debt issue that has been packaged up as a and trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker PHA. (The CUSIP number is 745867200.)
This preferred, which matures in 2046, closed yesterday at $20.85, or 83 cents on the dollar. It has a current yield of 8.7%.
Over the ten months through mid-July, PHA consistently traded at around $24 a share, slightly below its par value of $25. When the panic hit earlier this month, the price plunged below $18 and has since been working its way back up.
Like the two Bank of America preferred issues we flagged two weeks ago ("BofA Preferreds at a Marked Down Price"), this preferred is on sale now but probably won't be for long.
We've published two Alerts on PHA, in March 2010, when the shares were $20.89, and December 2010, at $23.81.
One feature we liked about the issue was that it was callable at par in June 2011. And because it's expensive debt, we figured that the company, which has actively been paying down its debt, would retire the issue at par at the first opportunity.
That didn't happen, but it could anytime. In the meanwhile, there's that cozy little 8.7% yield to keep you warm.

Get Brand Productive uses a modular business model. For smaller engagements, the services will be provided in solo by founder and brand technologist Robb Hecht. For highly customized or research intensive projects, experts and professionals are hired on projects as needed. This gives extra flexibility to the services we provide and allows us to charge lower fees than many other consultancies.
The menu below is just indicative of what we can do and we are happy to meet every client's specific need!
FieLd Expert Consultations
Get Brand Productive was the first consultancy to specialize in the marketer amongst the machines era. With almost a decade and a half of research, thousands of data points and a dozen predicted trends, I provide strategic advice uniquely tailored to my clients' visions and goals. Whether the objective is to better understand the next generation as marketers, as consumers, as students or as our emerging workforce, an hour-long conversation will help you understand where your risks and opportunities are.
For corporate clients the first 20 minutes are free. There is no charge for media interviews. Pro bono work is considered on a case-by-case basis for the non-profit sector.
As an experienced public speaker I have presented at conferences and colleges, as keynote speaker and as guest lecturer. My speaking style is engaging and entertaining, yet informative and based on solid research. I use humor and storytelling techniques to move the audience through the clutter of generational trends and stereotypes with a future forward perspective.
Forecast and Trend Reports
We write white papers and reports customized to your specific industry using strategic foresight, generational analysis and a large database of insights. Our report types are of two types depending on your company's needs and budget:
Generic reports: These reports are based on secondary data, existing surveys and the existing data material previously collected by After the Millennials. We will cover emerging trends and analysis based on your specific industry need. When applicable we use text mining programs to analyze relevant social media buzz.
Custom report: These reports include all elements of the generic reports, but will also use custom surveys and focus groups. Collects data for white space exploration of emerging trends where specific queries are needed, where too little reliable secondary data exist, or the trends to are so new (this is more common than not!)
Often the best knowledge is hidden in the organization. We are trained in facilitating workshops and roundtable discussions, and can help move the discussion in a way that makes sure all stakeholder interests are considered and areas and important insights uncovered. This is often used in for "white space opportunity identification" which helps in conceptualizing new products or discovering emerging new markets. Workshops can be a very good match when the goal is to uncover hidden knowledge and to embed new ideas into cohesive, new "future states" or scenarios. This is in turn invaluable for discovering blind spots and for discovering new opportunities. I/we will typically travel to a pre-determined destination of your choice or can help plan the event.

Ecological Niche
|Three concepts of the ecological niche
|The recess/role niche and seeking ecological equivalents
|The population-persistence niche and mechanistically representing competition
|The resource-utilization niche and understanding the evolution of species differences
|Environmental niche modeling and analyzing niches on a macroscale
It may come as something of a surprise that ecological niche, a term so common in the popular media, has three distinct meanings among scientists, each with an associated conceptual basis: these are the recess/role niche, the population-persistence niche, and the resource-utilization niche.
character displacement. The situation in which two species are more different in geographic locations where they overlap than between locations where they occur alone
community. Those species populations occurring at some location
competition. Ecological interaction inwhich two or more species negatively affect one another by consuming common resources or by other harmful means
convergence. Development of increasing similarity over time, usually applied to species somewhat unrelated evolutionarily
niche dimension. Environmental variable along which a species' niche is characterized, e.g., food size, and typically represented as the axis of a graph
polymorphism. The existence of two or more forms, differing in morphology or some other way, in the same population
population. Those individuals of a species occurring at some location
population growth rate r. The per capita rate at which a population changes size, typically computed as the birthrate minus the death rate
The first use of "ecological niche" appeared in a report on ladybugs written by R. H. Johnson nearly a century ago, although the term was used shortly thereafter by the zoologist Joseph Grinnell, who is generally given credit for its original development. The meaning was very close to figurative usage: the ecological niche of a species is its "role," "place," or more literally "recess" (in the sense of a "nook" or "cubbyhole") in an ecological community. Thus, the California thrasher, one of Grinnell's major examples, is a bird of the chaparral community that feeds mostly on the ground by working over the surface litter and eating both animal and plant items of a suitable size. Escape from predators is similarly terrestrial, with the well-camouflaged bird shuffling off through the underbrush on the rare occasions when it is threatened.
The idea that there exists a set of characteristic habitat and food types with accompanying behavioral, morphological, and physiological adaptations leads to the notion of ecological equivalents. These are defined as two or more species with very similar niche characteristics that occur in completely different localities. An example from Grinnell's writings is the kangaroo rat of North America, which "corresponds exactly" to the jerboa (another desert rodent species) of the Sahara. The existence of ecological equivalents would imply that rather invariant rules determine the niches available for occupancy in a particular kind of environment, e.g., a desert. Moreover, niches can be empty in the sense that a suitable species does not occur within a

Mumbai: The Supreme Court today refused to stay a Bombay High Court judgment making remarks against former Maharashtra Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh in a case involving allotment of 20 acre land to filmmaker Subhash Ghai`s institute.
The apex court, however, said it will hear in detail the petition filed by Deshmukh, now a Union Minister, seeking expunging of remarks made by the high court in its February 9 judgment.
"We will hear in detail the petition (filed by Deshmukh) as it is not a case to be dismissed at threshold," a bench of justices H L Dattu and C K Prasad said when Deshmukh`s appeal was opposed by senior counsel Ram Jethmalani, who appeared for those challenging the allotment of land.
The bench issued notices and sought response within four weeks from the petitioners on whose plea the high court had passed the verdict directing filmmaker Subhash Ghai to return the land alloted for his film institute, Whistling Woods, back to the state government.
The apex court also issued notices to the Maharashtra government and the Maharashtra Film, Stage and Cultural Development Corporation along with Ghai`s Mukta Arts, which were parties to the public interest litigation (PIL) in the high court.
While declining to stay the judgment vis-a-vis remarks against Deshmukh, the bench said "once this court has decided to hear the matter in detail there is no question of stay."
Deshmukh had filed a petition against the Bombay High Court`s order which made a scathing indictment that he had "misused his official position" as chief minister by showing "undue favours."
The high court had given the order on a PIL by Rajendra Sontakke and four other agriculturists of Latur and Osmanabad districts alleging "gross abuse of power" by Deshmukh in allotting the land.

Juice Detox – Do You Juice?
by Annette Jones
We are cleaning up our act at our place and it was decided we'd give our digestive system a bit of a rest this week and start a juice detox.
The decision to start a juice detox came about from reading, listening and watching the benefits that juicing has for our systems.
After my recent visit to hospital last month I was pretty keen as I want to rid my body of toxins from the anesthetic and drugs that were administered.
My partner had watched the scales rising steadily this year, and wasn't feeling that fit and healthy either ,so that has been his motivation!
The first day of the juice detox for me was fine (I don't think my body realized what was taking place!), Day two I woke up feeling blah, slight headache and pretty nauseous by mid morning. It was the kind of feeling I have when I don't eat regularly enough.
By mid afternoon it was worse than blah so I had a vegetable patty and felt much better. I also had a small handful of raw nuts too that evening too.
The third day I was feeling much better and now at the 4th my body has now adjusted to the new food that it's being served up.
My partner has breezed through the whole thing so far only feeling slightly "funny in the head" a couple of times on the 3rd day.
In case you are wondering what types or fruit and vegetables we are juicing I've supplied both the juice recipes and quantities below. We've been making two batches then combining the two for a better tasting juice rather than feeling like we are drinking or dirt or grass!
Juice Detox Recipe #1
Adapted slightly from Don Tolman's Cabala Juice
- 2.5kgs Carrots
- 3 Red Apples
- 3 Green Apples
- 1 Lemon
- ½ Beetroot
- 1 inch Ginger
Juice Detox Recipe #2
- 1 bunch Silverbeet (or Chard)
- 4 Celery Sticks
- 2 Granny Smith Apples
- 1 Lemon
- 1 White Cucumber (Any Color will do)
- ½ Beetroot
- ½ inch Ginger
You could easily substitute Kale for the Silverbeet, here, where I live it is fetching $7 at the moment for a very small bunch so we are using Silverbeet instead.
Silverbeet is related to spinach and contains high levels of
- magnesium
- calcium
- vitamin K
- iron
- potassium
- vitamin A
- folate (folic acid)
- zinc
- copper
- vitamin C
- dietary fiber
- vitamin E
Kale is related to broccoli, brussel sprouts and is a member of the Brassica family and is a great source of
- beta-carotene which converts to Vitamin A
- Vitamin C is (in abundance)
- Calcium
- sulphur-containing phytonutrients (cancer fighting)
- The phytonutrients also act as antioxidants to disarm free radicals
Carrots are root vegetables and although we used the orange variety there are also white, red-white and purple carrots. Carrots contain more sugar than any other vegetable and are an excellent source of beta carotene, which converts to vitamin A in our bodies. Choose younger carrots if the sugar content bothers (they contain more folate too) you as they are lower in sugar than older carrots
Beetroot also a root vegetable and contains
- vibrant pigments are potent phytochemicals and
- antioxidants that help with inflammation and detoxification support.
- high in Viamin C
- manganese, therefore offering great antioxidant support
- Betalains that help the body make carnitine which is a nutrient that helps the body turn fat into energy
- Choline which is a B vitamin
Celery and Lemon are both high in Vitamin C and Ginger is great for digestion and breaking down high protein foods as meat and beans lessening it's effect on the body from uric acid
Drinking the juices are like taking a massive vitamin pill, except it's all natural and fresh!
We are using two juicers; the purest will tell you the second one we use is the ONLY one TO use.
First we process through a centrifugal juicer (it's quicker!) then pass the pulp back through a cold pressed juicer where even more juice is extracted this way
Cold pressed juicers are much better for the food being processed and for the enzymes and nutrients in the vegetables and fruit too.
We will break our detox juice week tomorrow as it's my sons Birthday, however, we'll be back on it for the weekend and at this stage are not sure how long we'll continue.
I'll keep you updated on our progress and if you want to check out the Birthday cake you'll be able to catch it on Instagram.
Do you juice? What do you juice fruit of vegetable? What's your favourite recipe?

I've written this pattern as for one colour. The stitch, I think, is so nice it would work better with a single, simple colour. I'll do that next time... and probably die this one.
I will definitely make this again. The shape is great and it's nice and cool and comfortable. :D

Lower cholesterol levels, blood sugar management and healthy weight management are some benefits of consuming dietary fiber. A reduced risk of heart disease and healthy bowel movements are also benefits.
Dietary fiber originates from sections of plant food that the body cannot digest or take in. It is categorized as soluble, meaning it dissolves in water, or insoluble, meaning it travels throughout the body's digestive system.
Soluble fiber helps maintain blood sugar levels, therefore benefiting those with diabetes or heart disease. Oats, legumes, nuts and blueberries contain soluble fiber. Whole-wheat bread, brown rice and a fruits skin and seeds also contain soluble fiber, which helps with bowel movements including constipation and hemorrhoids.

and I have to say that I am doing
much better than this precious little guy!
My husband was able to catch this wonderful photo shot
of a cow elk and her very new baby near our home.
Don't you just wonder - in animal language-
what that mother is instructing her baby to do?
How beautiful the way she stands near
as the little one scrambles to get up
and continue on their journey.
Proverbs 4:12
"Take firm hold of instruction, do not let go:
Keep her, for she is your life".
Wisdom is a journey of many steps,
a path upon which a person openly receives truth.
A heart that is willing to hear and receive
the instructions on wisdom
is a heart bent towards God and His Word.
Jesus spoke of many who had
ears to hear but did not listen.
Proverbs 4:18-19
"But the path of the just is like the shining sun,
that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.
The way of the wicked is like darkness:
They do not know what makes them stumble".
The way of light and the way of darkness
is clearly marked out for us in God's Word.
Those who seek wisdom
are able to discern-and keep discerning-which path is safe.
At times we may loose our footing
as we walk in the pathway of light,
but God is there to illuminate the problem for us,
to guide us-to help us-to encourage us-
and to pick us up when we stumble and fall.
But those who stumble in the darkness
have no way of discerning
what has tripped them up.
Just like this little guy. Had he stayed on better ground
rather that stepping onto this black top
he likely would not have lost his footing.
Are we no different?
Sometimes we stray off the pathway of Light
causing us to loose our footing
and then we stumble and fall.
God would have us to be in the Word,
so as to have a heart and mind that is discerning.
God provides the wisdom.
Anyone can acquire it if they have a heart to pursue it!
Our precious Heavenly Father.
Thank you for Your Word that instructs us in wisdom.
Cause us to have a heart that is bent towards reading it daily,
and help us to apply Your principles to our every day life.
Thank you, for always being there when we stumble and fall,
and with a tender loving hand, ready to pick us up,
and nudge us onward for Your glory.
I would like to say thank you dear friends for your prayers on my behalf.
My recovery has gone well. To God be the glory!
~Be Lovely~

IBM Furloughs: Blame Open Source Cloud ComputingAug 06, 2013, 19:00 (2 Talkback[s])
(Other stories by The VAR Guy)
IBM will furlough U.S. hardware employees to cut costs in late August and early September 2013. Employees will take a week off with one-third pay, Bloomberg reported. Ouch. The key takeaway: Cloud computing is squeezing IBM's hardware business, and the value of IBM's x86 server business could be falling -- even more -- each quarter.

Recent accomplishments in animal and human physiology have contributed to urgency for creating innovative research on timing of nutrient intake [1-4]. These findings suggest that feeding and eating times during the 24-h period matter in how efficiently nutrients are utilized and partitioned into different tissues notable splanchnic and peripheral tissues. Shifting eating time from morning to evening in once-daily fed dairy and beef cattle has increased nutrient efficiency and milk fat and energy production. Such effects have mainly been resulted from altered circadian and postprandial rhythms of nutrient intake and energy-yielding metabolites and hormones [2-4]. On the other hand, evidence exists that human glucose intolerance and insulin resistance develop as day ends and night begins. Thus, despite the discovery that evening feeding may improve production and economics in food-producing animals, due to inter-species differences in evolutionary intermediary metabolism and eating behaviour, it could seriously impair the human physiology and health.
This editorial highlights the importance of future research on ascertaining optimal times of eating certain nutrients for today's man exposed to a variety of environmental stresses. Timing of eating would be among simple feasible solutions for complex challenges such as obesity, diabetes and related cardiovascular diseases frequently encountered by the modern and postmodern human populations worldwide. Manipulating the eating timing would help human to shift back into his evolutionary and natural life-style when optimal timing of eating, working, resting and exercising can significantly contribute to living a healthier and greater quality life. This philosophy would concur with a leading global memorandum that prevention as a foremost health-promoting strategy is superior to, and eliminates the need for, treatment.
In a nutshell, innovative research on circadian clock genes in all possible tissues, nutribiochemogenomical pathways in drainedviscera, hepatic and peripheral cells, and on nutrient intake and metabolism rhythms in response to varying intake timing of different nutrients will be greatly road-mapping. An ultimate goal will be to discover clear-cut global guidelines on when to eat which nutrient more or less to help approach optimal cell, tissue, organ and whole body physiology and health in the overly stressed man of the new times.

As I sit here going through ideas for this post, I feel like the natural flow of things would lead me to tell you about Kayla. After all, she had such a huge part in the making of who I am today.
Kayla was the whitest island girl I've ever seen. (I say that with the utmost love!) Her mother married my uncle and he adopted her at a very young age. She grew up with us. All of our family parties and gatherings were held in their backyard. It was in the middle of no where and we could play our music as loud as we wanted and we could dance as long as we wanted. She was a snarky little kid who would call you out if she saw you doing something wrong (this never changed). She was also a daddy's girl, a lover of horses, a mother of cats, and I watched her grow up to be such a sweet (and slightly spicy) soul.
It's weird how the younger generation catches up to mine. I know that I'm older and I know that I've matured over the years. But despite the significant age gap, I feel like they just keep catching up and I keep standing still. Kids that once sat on my lap are now adults who hang out with me. Regardless of my adult responsibilities, it's as if we aren't so far apart any more. It was like that with Kayla. We were kindred spirits and we just clicked. She became my sidekick we did so much together. I watched her open her heart to people without judgement or hesitation. I watched her forgive when it wasn't deserved. And I watched her hold me at the lowest point of my life. She had my back like no other and she never thought twice about it.
Things took a turn when Kayla was diagnosed with colon cancer at the age of 18. I'll never forget that phone call. But more so than that, I'll never forget her first surgery to remove part of her colon, when the doctor told us it was already stage 4 and it had spread. I can't come close to telling you what that was like, but I can tell you that it was the worst pain I had ever felt. I was angry and confused…..unbelievably confused. How could we be getting this bad news when there were so many people praying? People were in church lighting candles! Everyone I know was praying that this surgery would be successful and fix the problem. She was only 18. There was no way that could be her fate! We were shocked to say the least.
Although I can't remember the exact timelines, she was given a short one to live if she chose not to go through chemo, and I believe about a year or two with chemo. She chose to fight. She took the treatments and she continued to live her life to the fullest. She kept going to school and she kept working as long as she was able. She was so determined and I've never seen anyone with so much ambition and drive, regardless of her circumstances. Not only that, but she continued to be so selfless. I've never seen anything like it. She could be in the hospital, battling insomnia due to all of her meds, and she would say something like "take care of yourself, you need to get plenty of rest!" I would look at her with bewilderment, as if she was crazy. This girl was fighting for her life yet she was concerned for MY well-being!
I struggled with this…all of this. I fought depression and I kept a straight face for her and the rest of our family. We were all going through it together and we all dealt with it the best way we knew how. I just wanted to be strong for her. We finally had a very emotional talk about the reality of everything. We both cried our eyes out. I didn't want her to know what I was holding in but she actually felt better knowing that someone else was feeling just as low as she felt and she wasn't carrying it alone.
Her battled ended on November 2, 2012….just a little over 2 months before she would've turned 21. The greatest gift I've ever received, was being able to be there…to thank her for everything she had ever done for me…and to tell her how much she meant to me. I held her as she took her last breath in that cancer-ridden body. I held her as her spirit finally found freedom. And as much as I wish she was still here, there is a selfless part of me that is so happy that she doesn't have to suffer any more. I still miss her every single day. I still have days when I cry so hard that I can't even breath. But I'll bear the pain of missing her because I know she is free.
Kayla taught me how to love, how to live, and how to work hard for what I want. She is the reason that I wake up early every day. She's the reason I don't complain and she's the reason I make my days count. I'm so grateful for this life. It gets hard at times. Every day isn't perfect and sometimes I fail miserably. But that's all part of being human. The important thing is that we live….we live with every ounce of our souls and we love with every bit of our hearts. We may have down days but the beautiful thing is, we get a re-do with every sunrise. My happiness isn't in material things or what others think of me. My happiness is in seeing the beauty that surrounds me, helping people when I can, holding on tightly to the people who love me unconditionally, and letting go of anything that isn't meant to be. I've had my share of life lessons but Kayla was my biggest thus far.

An aggressive tread focused on traction and control in loose and varied terrain, with beveled leading edge dual row knobs in the center and well-spaced, siped edge knobs to dig into loose corners. Designed to be run on 50mm rims, the 2.75˝ casing inflates about 27.5˝ overall diameter (that's pert near 650b, folks), meaning you get some benefits of a larger diameter tire like ground approach angle and more footprint, with easier maneuverability of a smaller diameter tire, plus some extra pneumatic cushioning.

A cornucopia of culture, history, and architecture, Nestora has stood since before the Chaos Wars. The party quickly learns that the city-state is in a period of strife. Revolutions is painted on the walls and the atmosphere is tense. In response, the city is under heavy surveillance and guard.
Soon after arriving, a nearby explosion draws the PCs into a scene of chaos. Several Nestoran Guard trucks have been set ablaze following a mysterious attack, the drivers either unconscious or already dead. Countless other civilian victims lay in the street and the party quickly rushes to the rescue. The heroes break through a windshield, heal the severely wounded, and encourage the other civilians to assist in the rescue. Before the heroes can receive any praise, the Nestoran Guard arrives and clears the scene. In the heat of the moment a civilian verbally taunts one of the guards. He is quickly shot, a bag placed over his head, and thrown into one a Nestoran Guard truck. The message is loud and clear: back away from the scene. As the PCs make their way deeper in the city, they notice that the Nestorans have already moved on from the incident that occurred a few blocks away. They seem almost numb to it.
Before heading to Farkaya's shop, the party decides to visit the other merchants since they are in the Market Square. It is there that they meet Salvin Green, a local blacksmith and entrepreneur. Salvin takes all of their orders for new armor and even begins work on custom armor for Drogon. Salvin was unable to repair Rakon's wristwatch but, one of Salvin's friends, a gnome by the name of Letch, quickly offers his assistance in the matter. Having left their valuables in the hands of complete strangers, the heroes decide it is finally time to meet with Farkaya.
The heroes continued their journey into the depths of the brewery with Keg-E guiding them towards the washrooms. Another group of Hellions failed to ambush the party as the PCs quickly noticed a trap and prepared for battle. The battle was swift yet costly as the acid from a Hellion's grenade corroded Tor's armor.
After dispatching the Hellions the PCs followed the last few sparks into one of the farthest chambers, the well room. It was there that they found where the Hellion life-force had been accumulating. An Alpha Hellion lay in within the well, consuming bucket after bucket of the Beer Baron's best ale. The heroes jumped into battle with the drunken monstrosity and after several rounds with minor scrapes and bruises, the Alpha Hellion was destroyed.
The party returned to the Baron, collected their reward and rested for a bit before packing their bags and bidding farewell to their gracious host and new admirer. It was time to resume their journey into Nestora, seek out the sage Farkaya, and learn the secrets of the orb.
The heroes and Keg-E made their way to Durlain's Pass in hopes of saving the beer (and Gurlock)! White-Hawk Bandits had blocked the road and were assaulting the Beer Baron's magical caravan. The party jumped into battle and swiftly defeated the bandits. Unfortunately, the Baron's guards fell in combat but he was grateful that at least his caravan and most of his beer survived the encounter.
After clearing the road the PCs rode the the caravan back to the Pegasus Roadhouse where Gurlock raised a toast to his fallen guards and thanked the party for their bravery. He then rewarded everyone by tapping his newest brew: The Old Chaotic Neutral! The adventurers were named Heroes of the Beer and were given free room and board at the Pegasus Roadhouse.
The next morning, Gurlock hired the party to escort him back to his estate, Brewcore. Upon arriving, he was to pay them with 5 gold and a party. The journey to Nestora went extremely smoothly. Tolls were no problem thanks to Tor's intimidation of one of the Baron's nemesis. Flick and Rakon were able to repair and even improve the core reactor of the Caravan, expediting their travel time. And not even the elements of weather were an issue as the party held barrels of beer in place through gusty winds. Upon arrival at Brewcore the PCs are treated to a tour of the Beer Baron's fantastic grounds and manor. As promised, the Baron pays them 5 gold and throws them a grand party in his banquet hall.
The heroes awake to a delicious breakfast and the Baron's hangover antidote. As they prepare to head into Nestora, they are interrupted by a traumatized brewery worker who claims strange creatures are assaulting the brewery. The Baron once again requests the aid of the PCs.
Within one of the mills the party quickly encounters and disposes a group of Hellions who had been destroying machinery and killing mill workers. As each Hellion was slain its life-force was drawn deeper into the brewery. And so the heroes followed the trail into the brewery's well room in an effort to discover what was drawing each Hellion spark.
The party gathered at camp in the morning, discussing fragments of their past and reviewing the accomplishments over the last few months. In particular they reminisced about their first major victory. Weeks after escaping from indentured servitude, Rakon had found solace in a warm meal and good drink offered by The Bricks, a tavern owned by Flick Granger's family. His peace would be cut short however, as his previous owner had tracked him down and arrived at The Bricks to collect his property. He entered the tavern followed by several thugs who began to assault Rakon. It was perhaps fate that other heroes of this adventure were there that day. Tor Blackfire, Feredir Shadshot, Flick Granger and his trusty companion Drogon all rose to Rakon's defense. The battle was swift yet destructive. Rakon's owner received a near fatal blaster shot from Feredir but in the last few moments he was able to escape. His thugs had not been so lucky. It was this moment that the heroes of this adventure realized what they could accomplish together and they were forever bound in loyal friendship.
As they all sat eating breakfast, the discussion turned from the distant past to the job in Malrath Village. It was there that the heroes received a magical sphere as a reward for saving the villagers. Unfortunately, no one in the village was able to identify what the orb actually was. To make up for that dissapointment, the villagers threw our heroes a grand party. During the feast, they had the honor of meeting Gurlock The Beer Baron. The Baron enjoyed the company of the heroes so much that he recommended they head to Nestora to both enjoy the comforts of the Pegasus Inn, one of his favorite establishments, and to seek out a sage named Farkaya who could help them identify the magical sphere.
The sun had already begun to set when the heroes arrived at the Pegasus Roadhouse, a three-story building that had stood since before the Chaos Wars and served many functions over time. For the past few decades it had been owned by the Theonus family and converted into a popular Nestoran Outskirts Tavern. Upon entering, the party found the inn to be completely packed. The party met Tain and Winnifred Theonus and enjoyed the night's complimentary food and drink. Within an hour of their arrival, the party became unwitting participants in the Battle of the Boasts, a local annual celebration to commemorate how Nestorans rose up against the Prophet Dahwan, starting the end of the Chaos Wars. Each of the adventurers regaled their accomplishments and portrayed themselves as heroes of the Chaos Wars, winning the crowd over.
Just as the revelers began to push beers into the hands of the adventurers, the door to the Pegasus Roadhouse burst open. Keg-E, the Beer Baron's keg-robot, stood before the crowd alerting everyone that the Beer Baron and his caravan were under attack by White-Hawk bandits. The party jumped at the chance to rescue their friend, protect his caravan, and save the beer!

*Disclaimer - I received the product in this post from Grand Communications in order to facilitate this review for my readers.
Do you have a child who loves Chuggington? Well, I do and he has several of their DVDs so far.
This is another cute movie from Chuggington called The Big Freeze, and you can buy this on DVD. The movie is for my 7 1/2 year old son for Christmas, so he hasn't seen this one yet or know that I even have it for him.
This title is about going out on the tracks during The Big Freeze. You know, Chuggington train cars will always do all they can to help one another out with any issues that they may face in their day(s) on the track. That's what friends do! It can't be easy to be chugging while there's a big snow going on.

Carmelo Anthony's time as a New York Knick has been turbulent at best. His relationship with Phil Jackson was supremely dysfunctional, and likely played a part in Jackson leaving the Knicks earlier this offseason.
Anthony arrived in the Big Apple from Denver in a blockbuster trade back in 2011. Since then, though, the Knicks have been fluctuating and have not made a playoff appearance since 2013. Kristaps Porzingis has superstar quality and is the new face of the organisation, and Anthony has become the odd one out. Whether he will be bought out of his contract or waive his no-trade clause, the 10-time NBA All-star is destined to play in a different city in the 2017-18 season.
Real Madrid at 7/2 to win the 2017/18 Euroleague
There are two names in realistic contention for Carmelo this summer: the Cleveland Cavaliers and Houston Rockets. The Cavaliers missed out on Paul George – who has joined Russell Westbrook in Oklahoma – and the Rockets have added Chris Paul to the runner-up in the MVP battle, James Harden.
Anthony might be a grizzled veteran now, but his class is without doubt. He's a career 24.8 scorer and 6.6 rebounder, and would make an enormous difference should he join the Cavs or the Rockets this offseason.
The Cavaliers were hardly on the same planet as the Golden State Warriors in the 2017 NBA Finals. Even LeBron's heroics could not limit the damage as the Oakland-based franchise dominated, and LeBron went into full-tease mode as he flirted with the idea of leaving Cleveland once again. What James wants, though, is a roster able to stop the Golden State juggernaut and he needs All-star reinforcement to do just that.
Lonzo Ball at 3/1 to win the NBA Rookie of the Year next season
George was the primary target, and the failure to get a deal done there makes Carmelo the obvious alternative. The difficulty for Cleveland to get a deal done is if they can put together a package that the Knicks would fancy, and it might mean relinquishing Kevin Love. Love, however, does not fit the profile that the Knicks are looking to build towards which might mean the Cavaliers have to look at a multi-team trade again and all the risk that brings.
The scoring of Anthony is potentially a gamechanger in the Cavalier-Warrior rivalry. His defence, though, must be of concern to many a Cav around the world. The Cavs are 7/2 second favourites for the championship next year, and that would suddenly look a very good price if Anthony moves to the Quicken Loans Arena.
The frontrunners for Carmelo currently, however, are the Rockets. With more cap space and greater flexibility than the Cavaliers – who are still in somewhat of a period of front office chaos – Harden and Paul could be joined by Anthony within the next few weeks. The trade package might not be as hefty as one would imagine, with the deal as much of a salary dump for the Knicks as they look to rebuild around Porzingis.
With Harden only a superhuman Westbrook away from the MVP award last season and Paul freshly motivated for a new chapter in his career, the Rockets are third favourites at 9/1 to win the whole thing next year. The seemingly unstoppable Warriors strolled the Western Conference last year, but will – at the very least – face realistic rivalry from Houston.
A veteran's future determines who will take the role of chief opposition to another year of inevitable Warriors victory. Pairing Carmelo with LeBron and Kyrie Irving or with Harden and Paul is the making of a second superteam in the NBA, and that is what will be needed for anyone to topple the Kevin Durant and Steph Curry dominance.

Paris: Whistleblower Grigory Rodchenkov, who says he has information on doping in Russian football, is now free from legal restraints and can give evidence to FIFA, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) told AFP on Tuesday.
"The fact is that Dr. Rodchenkov has only recently become available to testify in legal proceedings being undertaken by IFs (international federations), which he was unable to do previously due to restrictions put in place by US law enforcement as a result of an ongoing investigation in the United States," a WADA spokeswoman explained. Rodchenkov was the head of the Moscow anti-doping lab for 10 years until 2015 when he fled to the United States and exposed the Russian system of institutionalised doping. His revelations unleashed a scandal which resulted in many Russian athletes being banned from the Rio Olympics in 2016 and the exclusion of the Russian team from the Winter Games in Pyeongchang in February.
Rodchenkov's lawyer had reproached football's governing body FIFA for not getting in touch with his client, telling the Associated Press that Rodchenkov had "information on Russian footballers protected by the system of state doping." FIFA said it had attempted to contact Rodchenkov through WADA in November but had been told he could not talk.

When most people think of plastic surgery, they think of procedures that will enhance their appearance. Traditionally, that has been for women. But there is much more to the world of plastic surgery than Charlotte tummy tucks, breast augmentations and breast lifts. There a wide variety of options available for men to enhance the way they look.
It must also be stated that male plastic surgery differs a bit than female plastic surgery. Male cosmetic surgery is geared towards men and is not intended to feminize them. These procedures cater to the male body. When it comes to facial structures, men have different traits. Their brows tend to be lower than a woman's brow and the upper portion of their eyelids are weightier.

This set of aged photos by Maico Akiba captures products and devices of modern day and ages them 100 years.
It's almost an alarming look into what it will be like when our world is a thing of the past: when the items and products we thought were profound are just moldy old trash completely useless to future generations.
Maico uses great skill in order to pull these aged photos off. They are incredibly convincing as they are covered in rust, moss and dirt. They are also worn out and banged up for good measure. It is of wonder whether he placed them underwater for an extended period to achieve this look or if he carefully augmented them by hand.
