How to Write a Killer Resume
First, think long and hard about the purpose of your resume, other than using it to find "a" job. Is the purpose to promote your immediate and intermediate past history to find a job in a related industry? If so, you would choose a chronological resume. Are you changing careers, reentering the workforce or have some gaps in your work history? You may choose a functional resume. If your skills are stronger than your chronological work history but you still feel your work history is a benefit, choose a combination, where you list your skills first followed by a chronology. The best choice may be to take a lot of time and efforts and write a targeted resume for the particular job you are applying for.
Find samples of all of these forms of resumes on the Internet. You can also find templates that come with word processing software for your computer. The advantage in using a template is that they will make the job of reading one easier for the hiring manager or the gatekeeper who is filtering the tens or hundreds of resumes received for a particular job opening. Sticking to a common format might help put you in the right stack to be reviewed.
List all of the jobs that you have had so you can write your final copy. Write out as many details for each job that you can remember. Write out the skills you used on each job. The easy way to do this is to use a table either by hand or on your computer. List jobs on one axis and skills on the other, and put an X in the right coordinating table spot. When finished you will have a matrix of jobs and skills. Write out what you accomplished on each job. If possible quantify those accomplishments, like "I increased sales by 75% over a four year period."
Write out your goal or objective in searching for a new position. What kind of job do you want? Based on what you have already written down, write out a summary of your skills and track record. Remember that you will convert your skills and track recored into a marketing statement in your cover letter. Your resume will contain your "features" and your covering letter will convert those into a "benefit" for your prospective employer, so make sure you have written out your best features.
Write out the boilerplate that may go into each resume. Your name address, phone number, email address, and any other contact information. Write down any awards or documented achievements. Write out your education and any additional continuing education like certifications or coursework.
Now, you have all of the building blocks for your resume. Use these blocks to put together your first choice in format. Use action verbs in stating your accomplishments, so "I increased sales" becomes "Increased sales". These can be listed in bullet format or in text depending on your resume format choice. Do not hesitate to write out a resume in each format to discover which you prefer.
Spell check each resume several times. Have several of your friends or colleagues read each version. Keep in mind that your resume are your product features, and you are the product. It is one half of a marketing statement. The other half is your cover letter, which will convert your features into a promise of a benefit for the hiring company.
Keep each version on your computer and tweak them as necessary for each job application.

Holiday Stress BustersDate: December 20, 2016
Category: Author: Burba Dental
Crowds, traffic, shopping– we know– it's all very stressful. Whether it's money issues, family issues, or just being too busy, the holidays can be an especially stressful time. Take a deep breath– we're here to help with some great advice on getting rid of the stress that ultimately comes along with the holidays.
Get Some Sun
Seasonal Affective Disorder impacts millions of Americans every year. If you're feeling sad, chances are it could be from being cramped up in your house. Vitamin D can do a ton of good for your body and mind. We suggest you get out of the house for at least 30 minutes a day. Take a walk, run or hike and you'll feel much better.
Clear Your Schedule
We know it's not completely practically to clear your schedule, but you can avoid overbooking yourself. Say no to anything you aren't excited about going to. Overbooking yourself is a great way to stress yourself out. Be mindful and make plenty of time for yourself.
Laughing provides great therapeutic benefits. It calms your heart rate and sends a signal to your brain that you're happy. It also reduces stress hormones. This holiday season make sure to do more of the things that make you laugh, and spend more time with the people who crack you up.
Turn Off Your Phone
It's very rare these days to have time with your family, uninterrupted.
What better time to turn your gadgets off than during a holiday family get-together? Enjoy spending time with your family and friends without worrying about what you have to do tomorrow, or what deadline you have to meet at work.
Be Positive
Just thinking negative thoughts can trigger your body's stress response, just like a real threat. By thinking positive, you can trick your body and mind to help you cope. Do your best to stay positive and it will be reflected in your mood.
Get A Massage
Who doesn't love a good massage? In 2006, 39 million Americans had at least one massage, according to a nationwide survey by the American Massage Therapy Association. That's one for every six adults!
There's a good reason for this. Massages provide great therapeutic benefits and can also help relieve stress. If you can, try and get at least one massage this month.
Listen To Music
Research from the University of Maryland shows that hearing music you love can relax blood vessels and increase blood flow. Not only does it does it help to get rid off stress, it's good for your heart, too.
Take Time Off
Taking time off is strongly recommended if you want to help lower your stress levels. Being too busy with work and the holidays can overwhelm anyone. Take a vacation if possible, and at the very least– take a few days off.
Endorphins are amazing things, and research has found that workouts can boost your mood for up to 12 hours! Going for a run, or hitting the gym can actually make you feel better and less stressed. Even if you don't feel like doing it, try and make sure you exercise at least three times a week.
Try Them All
We hope we've motivated you to get out there and feel better. It's important to remember to enjoy the holidays and the time you have with your family. Let stress take a backseat this holiday season.

This is a letter to Members of Parliament. Greetings and a good Sunday! I write to you for one reason: You must stop the referendum. You must review the law that created the ''rushed'' reforms. This is our last chance at peace; maybe our last chance at a negotiated constitution. I am compelled by three considerations.
First, I will quote from a book about the ''fall'' of Lebanon. It is a ''cookbook'' on how to destroy nations. The book is entitled The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable. And the author is Nassim Nicholas Taleb. Using history, he shows how civilisations and nations are extinguished. All you need is a moment of national blindness and a passion for an idea. Passion and blindness equal destruction. Then destruction acquires a life of its own. What started like a silly joke begins to burn and can burn for years to come. And this is what happened in Lebanon.
The adults told Mr Taleb that the war was "... going to end in a matter of days". They therefore waited in hotel rooms in Cyprus, Greece and France for the war to end ''tomorrow''. It lasted 17 years. The same happened to Cuba. During the 1960s, the Cuban refugees in Miami lived with suitcases still half packed. They believed they would return in a ''matter of days''. They are still in Miami 50 years after the Castro revolution.
Mr Taleb's point therefore is this: War is unpredictable. Even war that has ''ended'' can cook from the underground for years. And this is why I write to you as MPs.
The Peace Accord did not end our war. It was a ceasefire document. Instead of burying our differences dead, it buried them alive. Now they are boiling from the underground, simmering in the dark. And as they boil, we are in a state of national blindness. We are in a spell. But what is worse: We are both passionate and blind. This is why the referendum has generated nothing but heat. Only 10 per cent understand the constitution according to the polls.
The others have not read it; do not understand it, or are indifferent. They are passionate about it, but blind. If Mr Taleb is right, this is a recipe for war. I write to you therefore to ask a question: What is the point of having a new constitution and dividing the country? We are still at war. And the experiments in this draft can only add fuel to the fire.
Two, our country is invaded. Unofficially, we are now a Protectorate of America; an informal colony of President Obama. From Kofi Annan to Moreno-Ocampo; the visits by Hilary Clinton to Joe Biden, the trend is now clear. This is an army of occupation. And its mission is what Tanzanians would call ''Ukoloni mamboleo'' (neo-colonialism). You must therefore tell ''cousin Obama'' the following: Back off. His father was one of us. And as the 'Nation of his Father', we are a proud people. Very proud. You patronise us, we get violent. This is why the Biden trip was a disaster. We resisted the man, his polemics and his goodies. We will not pass the constitution to get American money. Not worth it! We will do it for our children and their children whether ''cousin Obama'' will be in power or not!
In sum, you must liberate us from this foreign naiveté. And you must do so by first asking the following: What is their interest in this constitution? What are they sneaking backdoors? These questions must be asked with two considerations in mind. The first refers to Article 2(6) of the draft. It translates all International Treaties we have signed into local law. This is a clever invasion without sending Mr Joe Biden. The second has to do with the rushed process of passing this draft. Why the rush? Remember that the ''rushed reforms'' came with Mr Annan. All his reforms, from the Waki List to the implementation of this draft, have been rushed. Why? You must stop this.
My last point regards the errors in the draft constitution. Some people have identified 93 errors, I have identified 101 errors. This makes the draft illegitimate by any standards. If it passes, these errors cannot be corrected administratively by the Attorney-General. In fact, it would be illegal for him to do so. To correct them, you will have to institute a process of minimum constitutional reforms. In one of the errors (Article 20(3)(b), you will need a referendum because it is in the Bill of Rights. My question to you therefore is this: why go on with a process that is faulty? Why give us a half-baked constitution and constipate us politically? Some of you purport to speak for Kenyans. And you have told us that it has taken 20 to 25 years to do this review process. But one university student told me that he is 26 years old.
He further told me that 65 per cent of the country is 25 years and below, while 73 per cent is below the age of 30. His observation therefore was this: If 65 pc of the country is below 25 years, those making the constitution for 25 years must be in the minority. In fact, he called them political dinosaurs. Worse still, if 73 pc of the country is below 30, none of them has been involved in this ''romantic'' struggle for a new constitution. This is, therefore, a struggle by dinosaurs, between dinosaurs, to produce a dinosaur constitution.
Back to the author from Lebanon, the country went to war. We did not resolve the reasons why. Now the war has gone underground. On the surface, the country has a passion for the constitution. But this passion is blind. To build an experimental constitution on a fragile peace is to invite war. You must therefore give us leadership by stopping the referendum. The principals will not do it. They are spell bound.
Only you can review the law that created these ''rushed reforms''. And if you do it, you will open up new avenues for dialogue and healing. But can you? My challenge goes to the cowardly GEMA MPs. You are "Yes" in the day, "No" in the night. This is your chance to be counted!

Mutahi Ngunyi: Why MPs should stop the referendum
This is a letter to Members of Parliament. Greetings and a good Sunday! I write to you for one reason: You must stop the referendum. You must review the law that created the ''rushed'' reforms. This is our last chance at peace; maybe our last chance at a negotiated constitution. I am compelled by three considerations.

I am often asked the following question:
Stop blaming the Technology
Facebook does not cause bullying. If you have a bullying problem in your school, that is a culture problem and all of the blocking in the world isn't going to make it better. Blaming the technology is an excuse for not solving the larger problem. Ignoring the prevalence of student's online lives is much more dangerous than blocking their access during the school day. We should be modeling and teaching digital responsibility in a safe environment where students can see that digital tools are not simply for entertainment but can be used professionally to expand their knowledge and create a digital footprint that will not come back to kick them later.
Accept that you are a BYOT school
Your students AND staff are using their own technology at school, whether they are texting within the pocket of their hoody or surreptitiously in the bathroom between classes, they are bringing their own devices and they are using them. I have witnessed so many cases of teachers asking children to break the "no cell phone" policy. When a site is blocked on the school computers, teachers simply look the other way so students can access the needed information via their own cell phones.
Social Media IS a part of the "real world"
Educators are very fond of telling kids what the "real world" is like. Pretending that sites like Twitter & Facebook don't exist while students are at school is simply a denial that the real world exists inside your school. Students will be googled by their future (and current) employers.( Every mom I know googles potential babysitters and if they see a Facebook page that looks remotely irresponsible, that sitter will NOT be allowed in the house!) For the most part students don't have any idea that their tweets are being housed in the Library of Congress for all of eternity. We teach students about sex ed, stranger danger, drugs & alcohol, texting & driving why would we not teach them about social media, both the good and the bad?
Great things happen when students & teachers get connected
- Connect with higher education
- Find scholarships
- SKYPE with authors, scientists, and more.
- Create student culture with a Student Voice Chat like Lakeland Leading Edge
- Get involved in the Election with projects like #MYparty12
- Model for students how Social Media is being used for global change
- Teachers connect with others all over the world through chats & hashtags like #PBLChat, #edchat #kinderchat, #sschat, check out a very thorough list of ed hashtags here.
- Check out Pinterest Boards with Teach not Block Resources, Social Media & Digital Citizenship links
- Your community can find out from YOU what is happening at school via Facebook. Some great examples:
- DaVinci Charter Academy
- Dumas New Tech High
- Delaware New Tech Academy
- There are countless more great examples here on this crowdsourced doc from @Joe_Mazza
- Need more resources? Try these books & sites
Take steps to make changes
- Update your Acceptable Use Policy
- Do the research for your school board or administrators
- CoSN's MAKING PROGRESS: Rethinking State and School District Policies Concerning Mobile Technologies and Social Media
- ISTE's NETS for Admin, Teachers & Students
- You simply cannot meet the NETs with overzealous blocking
- National Education Technology Plan
- Online communities are a part of the plan but we block them locally...REALLY?
- Let Students Lead the Way
- Consider this as a student led project
- Empower them to develop the new policy based on their own needs, research & conclusions
- I wonder what their driving question would be?

KINGMAN – Mohave County Health Department is assisting the Centers for Disease Control in identifying the cause of an E. coli outbreak that has claimed the lives of two children in the Colorado City area, county epidemiologist Anna Scherzer said Thursday.
The county has been working on this case for two weeks, she said during an update at the Mohave County Board of Health meeting.
"To this point, we have identified 11 confirmed cases of E. coli, and seven of them have required hospitalization," Scherzer told the board over the phone from Colorado City. "Four kids had hemolytic uremic syndrome, or HUS, and unfortunately two have died."
Most of the effort to identify the source started with the county's public health nurse in Colorado City. Southwest Utah's health department took the lead in the investigation, with help from Mohave County, and response grew to the point where CDC was called in, Scherzer said.
CDC sent three representatives to Colorado City, who were joined by officials from Mohave County, Arizona and Utah health departments.
Most of those affected by the E. coli bacteria are children, with a median age of 3, Scherzer said. They are the most susceptible to dying.
Health officials are looking into what water resources people may have shared, exposure to animal manure, drinking raw milk, shopping at the same grocery store.
"None of them have identified a smoking gun," Scherzer said.
CDC is now carrying out focus groups, meeting with parents and sitting down to discuss where they've been, hoping to come up with things that were not "flushed out" in previous interviews, she said.
"That'll be the first thing we talk about tomorrow," she said. "We'll look for places where kids congregate or interact with each other, and, of course, always, the food they consume."
The outbreak appears to be spread out between the towns of Colorado City, Centennial Park and Hildale, Utah, towns that are known as polygamist communities for the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Eschereichia coli, or E. coli, are bacteria found in the environment, foods and intestines of people and animals. Although most types of E. coli are harmless, some strands can cause nausea, vomiting, headaches, dehydration, diarrhea and kidney failure.
People with weakened immune systems, pregnant women, young children and older adults are at increased risk of developing these complications.

The European Commission says sufficient progress has been made in Brexit negotiations with Britain to allow a second phase of talks on future relations to begin, ending an impasse over the status of the Irish border.
The Commission gave its verdict in a statement after intense talks, which resulted in British Prime Minister Theresa May taking an early-morning flight to Brussels on Friday to announce the deal alongside Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker.
The Commission's recommendation that sufficient progress has been made will now go to the European Union summit of leaders taking place next week.
"Prime Minister May has assured me that it has the backing of the UK government. On that basis, I believe we have now made the breakthrough we need. Today's result is of course a compromise," Juncker told a news conference.
May said she expected a formal agreement to be approved at the summit, which begins on December 14.
"I also look forward to next week's European Council meeting, where I hope and expect we will be able to get the endorsement of the 27 (member countries) to what is a hard-won agreement in all our interests," May said.
The commission said it was ready to begin work immediately on phase two talks, which cover a transitional exit period, trade and long-term relations with the bloc.
May said intensive talks over the past few days had delivered "a hard-won agreement in all our interests".
"It is crucial for us all that we continue working closely together on issues such as trade, research, security and others," he said.
"We will take things one step at a time, starting with next week's European Council, but today I am hopeful that we are all moving towards the second phase of these challenging negotiations and we can do this jointly on the basis of renewed trust, determination and with the perspective of a renewed friendship."
May's key parliamentary ally in Northern Ireland gave a cautious endorsement of the new terms, four days after 11th-hour objections from Belfast scuppered May's attempt to sign off on an accord over the Irish border during a lunch in Brussels on Monday.
Irish Foreign Minister Simon Coveney said the border agreement meant there was no way Brexit could lead to a hard border between Ireland and Northern Ireland - what will become the only land frontier between Britain and the EU after Brexit.
"Very good outcome for everyone on the island of Ireland - no Hard Border guaranteed!," Coveney said on Twitter.
In the text, Britain agreed that should London and Brussels fail to agree on a final Brexit deal, the United Kingdom will maintain "full alignment" with those rules of the internal market and customs union that help to protect north-south co-operation in Ireland.

I've been getting some seriously heavy sensations in the heart region that come and go; but this could be to do with family, I'm not sure. I am also sleeping a huge amount and yet it's still sometimes not enough. I felt a lot of energy around the 'supermoon' and afterward.

It's been my experience there are a number of reasons for the fluctuations. Energy shifts, blocked energy, stagnate energy, you could be opening up to new energies etc the list goes on and on. For myself I look and see if a energy shift is going on, I will check my chakra's and meridians to see if there is a problem with them that's messing with the flow of energy and if it is a new energy do what I need to do to adjust to the flow of it.

Glad to "see" you back. I have been getting energy that is intense enough to cause the hair on the back of my neck and arms to stand up. Doesn't feel like a visitation but rather energy coming in from above and some from the left...always affecting the left side of my body

aka THE LOLLY-MADONNA WAR
Directed by Richard C. Sarafian. Written by Rodney Carr-Smith and Sue Grafton. Cast: Rod Steiger, Robert Ryan, Jeff Bridges, Scott Wilson, Season Hubley, Gary Busey, Joan Goodfellow, Tresa Hughes, Paul Koslo, Ed Lauter, Kiel Martin, Randy Quaid, Timothy Scott, Katherine Squire. (PG, 106 mins)
In the years before her career took off in 1982 with A is for Alibi, the first of her ongoing "alphabet mysteries" (the 24th, titled simply X, was released last year), novelist Sue Grafton worked primarily in television, writing numerous made-for-TV movies in addition to being a creative force behind Michael Learned's post-WALTONS CBS series NURSE. She made the move to TV in an effort to polish her plotting and character-building skills after her first two books tanked. Her second novel, The Lolly-Madonna War, was published overseas in 1969 with little fanfare, not even attracting interest from a US publisher. British writer/producer Rodney Carr-Smith (BARTLEBY) bought the movie rights and brought it to MGM in an attempt to establish himself in America (still unpublished in the US, The Lolly-Madonna War remains Grafton's most obscure novel, and used mass market paperback import copies currently range from $423 to $880 on Amazon). Carr-Smith collaborated with Grafton on the screenplay adaptation and the film version was rechristened as the ill-advised LOLLY-MADONNA XXX, which didn't do it any favors as many confused moviegoers and theater owners may have understandably mistaken it for a porno. The title refers to a signature on a postcard, with the "xxx" being "kisses," but it proved problematic enough that MGM pulled the film and relaunched it under its original book title as the more straightforward THE LOLLY-MADONNA WAR (and judging from the trailer, it was also titled FIRE IN THE MEADOW at some point prior to its release), though the LOLLY-MADONNA XXX title is what it's most commonly known as today. Under either title, the movie bombed and Carr-Smith's adventures in Hollywood, as well as his career in cinema, came to an abrupt end.
THE ICEMAN COMETH, released several months after Ryan's death from lung cancer.

According to CNN, Gov. Romney won more votes from evangelicals than any other candidate:
Romney was also aided by winning a strong share of evangelical voters. As predicted, evangelical turnout was up this cycle — they constituted 38 percent of GOP primary voters. Mike Huckabee was banking on winning this bloc as overwhelmingly as he had in Iowa, but the exit polls indicate that he and Romney were essentially tied among those voters, with Romney getting the votes of 33 percent to Huckabee's 31 percent.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa despre miley
Miley Ray Cyrus is an American actress, singer and songwriter. She is perhaps best known for starring as Miley Stewart/Hannah Montana on the Disney Channel Original Series, Hannah Montana.
Cyrus became an overnight sensation after she was cast in Hannah Montana. Following the success of the show, in October 2006, a soundtrack CD was released in which she sang eight songs from the show. In December 2007, she was ranked #17 in the list of Forbes Top twenty earners under 25 with an annual earning of US$3.5 million. As of December 2007, she is working on a movie spin-off from Hannah Montana, titled Hannah Montana: The Movie which is due to be released late 2008 or early 2009.
Cyrus was born in Franklin, Tennessee, the daughter of Leticia "Tish" (née Finley) and country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, and the granddaughter of the late Ron Cyrus. She has two elder half-brothers, Christopher Cody and Trace, the latter being the vocalist and guitarist of an electronic rock band, Metro Station in California. She also has an older half-sister, Brandi, a younger brother, Braison, and a younger sister, Noah, who is also an actress. She was named Destiny Hope because her parents believed that she would accomplish great things. Cyrus gained her nickname "Miley" because she kept smiling ("Smiley") as a youngster.
Cyrus attended Heritage Middle School, and now has a private tutor. She grew up on her parents` farm outside of Nashville.
Cyrus became interested in acting at age nine when the family briefly lived in Toronto, Canada. Her first acting role was as a guest star on her father`s television series Doc, in which she played a girl named Kylie. In 2003, she played "Young Ruthie" in Tim Burton`s Big Fish and was credited as Destiny Cyrus. She was also featured in Rhonda Vincent`s music video for "If Heartaches Have Wings", and appeared on Colgate Country Showdown with her father, who was hosting the program.
Cyrus was eleven years old when she originally auditioned for Disney for the lead as well as the "best friend" roles; Disney Channel executives then judged her to be "too small", however Miley was persistent in her desire to be part of the show, so Disney called her back for further auditions when she turned 12. According to Disney Channel Executive Vice President Gary Marsh, Cyrus was chosen for Hannah Montana because of her energetic and lively performance and was seen as a person who "loves every minute of life", with the "everyday relatability of Hilary Duff and the stage presence of Shania Twain". She spent several years to get rid of her Southern accent, but in the end Disney wanted her to revive it. Later in an unusual twist, Cyrus had to audition her own father, Billy Ray Cyrus, to see if he would fit the role as Hannah`s dad. Cyrus currently stars in Hannah Montana as the lead character Miley Stewart, whose alter ego is the pop music sensation Hannah Montana. Cyrus also performs in character as Hannah Montana for albums and concerts.

It is scheduled for release in 2010 and filming ended post 2009 Teen Choice Awards.[53] The film was conceived as a "star vehicle" with the intention of introducing Cyrus to an older audiences.[54] Cyrus recorded a song with the Jonas Brothers titled "Before the Storm" for their fourth studio album Lines, Vines and Trying Times. She also launched another Hannah Montana soundtrack (for the third season), titled Hannah Montana 3 on July 7, 2009 which brought her her first top ten as Montana and her fourth overall, "He Could Be the One."[55]

It is also the highest debut by a female solo artist since Carrie Underwood's 2005 song "Inside Your Heaven", which debuted at number one.[59][60] The song thereby became the "fastest breaking single in Hollywood Records' history."[59]

In August 2009, Cyrus teamed with Max Azria to create a line of junior and girls' separates available only at Walmart.[72] Cyrus' released her EP The Time of Our Lives in conjunction with the line and Walmart dedicated a page to the designers.[73] The line consists of vests, tie-dye tank tops, dresses, and plaids. Critics claimed the clothes were "completely inoffensive but totally snoozeworthy"[74] and "benign",[72] but admited that "it's the generic that sells, regardless of whether it has Hannah Montana's name on it" and predicted they would be high sellers.[72]
Cyrus celebrated her 16th birthday with a charity fundraiser at Disneyland, which was closed early for the event attended by 5,000 fans at $250 per ticket.[75] The proceeds went to the charity Youth Service America, a youth volunteering organization.[76][77][78] Ten outstanding youth volunteers from Youth Service America were invited to attend,[79] and later in the evening, Cyrus presented a $1 million check to the organization.[80] In 2007, Cyrus made a large contribution to the City of Hope, giving $1 for every "Hannah Montana" concert ticket sold. She said that "the cool thing about being a part of City of Hope is that they are a cancer research center. They're not only helping kids that are there, but also finding out how they can heal them by figuring out what exactly is going on, which is amazing."[81]
Cyrus has lent her musical talents to several charity benefits. Cyrus collaborated with fourteen other female singers to record a charity single titled "Just Stand Up!", which the singers performed live during a one-hour primetime event for the anti-cancer campaign Stand Up to Cancer on September 5, 2008.[82] On September 14, 2008, Cyrus, along with other performers, performed at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, California for the City of Hope Benefit Concert to help raise money for cancer research and training programs.[83]
Cyrus is involved in Disney's Friends for Change, an organization which promotes environmently-friendly behavior, and appears in the service's public service announcements to raise awareness for the cause on the Disney Channel.[84] In addition, she joined fellow Disney stars Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez, and the Jonas Brothers, to record "Send It On", a charity single which serves as the theme song for Disney's Friends for Change. Send it On debuted on the Hot 100 at number twenty.[85][86] Disney will direct 100% of the proceeds from "Send it On" to environmental charities through the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund (DWCF).[85]
Personal life

In January 2008, Cyrus announced her intent to officially change her name to "Miley Ray Cyrus," her middle name reflecting that of her father.[87] The name change became official on May 1, 2008.[1] In an interview with USA Today, Cyrus was quoted as saying her faith is "the main thing" and is the reason why she works in Hollywood.[88] When interviewed by Parade, she added that she attends church regularly with her family.[24] In an interview with Christianity Today, Billy Ray Cyrus said, "Being Christian, we believe in heaven," and "We also had a great church, and when you give up your church, your pastor, and the community you are involved in, you're making a big sacrifice. Let's face it, Hollywood is a completely different environment than Franklin, Tennessee."[89]
In February 2008, Cyrus and her friend Mandy Jiroux (who is also a backup dancer for Cyrus) began creating videos on YouTube called The Miley and Mandy Show. The show, described as a "YouTube hit," is said to be filmed for fun by Cyrus and Jiroux and to be entirely their work, with Cyrus and Jiroux editing the footage together. It is filmed mainly in Cyrus' bedroom.[90] In the September 2008 issue of Seventeen, Cyrus stated she had been in a relationship with Nick Jonas for two years, and that they "were in love." They broke up at the end of 2007.[91] In June 2009, Cyrus ended a nine month long relationship with Nashville Star contestant and model Justin Gaston.[92]
Vanity Fair photos
On April 25, 2008, the televised entertainment program Entertainment Tonight reported that Cyrus had posed topless for a photoshoot with Vanity Fair.[93] The photo, and subsequently released behind-the-scenes photos, show Cyrus with her bare back exposed but her front covered with a bedsheet. The photoshoot was taken by photographer Annie Leibovitz.[94] The full photograph was published with an accompanying story on The New York Times' website on April 27, 2008. On April 29, 2008, The New York Times clarified that though the pictures left an impression that she was bare-breasted, Cyrus was wrapped in a bedsheet and was actually not topless.[95] Some parents expressed outrage at the nature of the photograph, which a Disney spokesperson described as "a situation [that] was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines." Gary Marsh, president of entertainment for Disney Channel Worldwide, was quoted by Portfolio magazine to have said, "For Miley Cyrus to be a 'good girl' is now a business decision for her. Parents have invested in her a godliness. If she violates that trust, she won't get it back."[95] Branding consultants John Tantillo and Michael Stone appeared on Fox Business News to discuss possible repercussions for Cyrus' brand and her best marketing strategy going forward.[96]
In response to the Internet circulation of the photo and ensuing media attention, Cyrus released a statement of apology on April 27, 2008: "I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be 'artistic' and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed. I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about."[95] Leibovitz also released a statement: "I'm sorry that my portrait of Miley has been misinterpreted. The photograph is a simple, classic portrait, shot with very little makeup, and I think it is very beautiful."[95][97] On April 28, 2008, Vanity Fair published their full interview and photo shoot with Cyrus and her father Billy Ray Cyrus, as well as the behind-the-scenes photographs, on their website.[98] According to the interview, Cyrus' parents and/or minders were present during the entire duration of the photo shoot. The idea to pose with the sheets on was suggested by Leibovitz. When asked if she was "anxious" about the pose, Cyrus stated to interviewer Bruce Handy: "No, I mean I had a big blanket on. And I thought, this looks pretty, and really natural. I think it's really artsy. It wasn't in a skanky way.... And you can't say no to Annie. She's so cute. She gets this puppy-dog look and you're like, okay."[98] On December 2, 2008, TV Guide reported that Cyrus is interested in working with Leibovitz again in the future and is even considering a career in photography for herself, "That's what I want to do with my life. I would love to be a photographer... I want to come to London to study. I hear there are some great art schools here so I would love to do that."[99]
2009 Teen Choice Awards performance
Main article: Party in the U.S.A.#Live performances
Cyrus performed "Party in the U.S.A." at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards on August 10, and incited controversy due to the performance themes.[100][101][102] Critics of the performance complained that she danced provocatively, performed along on a dance pole that was on top of an ice-cream pushcart and that one theme seemed to be her poking fun at American culture.[101][102][103][104] Some drew negative similarities to Britney Spears; meanwhile Cyrus welcomed them.[103][105] Others defended Cyrus, saying that people should not be focused on still images that make the performance more sexual than it really was, instead of her earning six awards.[106][107] The Walt Disney Company tried to maintain distance from the performance.[38][108][109][110]
FilmographyI am fully committed to Hannah Montana. It's what gave me this amazing opportunity to reach out to so many people," Cyrus tells PEOPLE, adding, "I couldn't do it alone. We have an amazing cast that is so supportive, including my dad who has been there for me every step of the way."
Over the weekend reports circulated that Cyrus, 15, and her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, have been causing drama on the Disney Channel set by coming to work late and openly talking about wanting to get fired. There were also rumors of a rift between Miley and her costar Emily Osment.
A Disney Channel rep calls talk of on-set squabbles "just gossip," while a source close to Miley Cyrus says: "It's a lot of craziness."
"Miley is really devoted to the show and she's really upset by the gossip," continues the source. "Miley is never late to work. Every minute of her day is planned out. When she's not shooting the movie or the series, she's recording the [Hannah Montana] soundtrack. She has a lot invested in Hannah Montana. It's not going away any time soon."
On set "they're like a big family," says the source. "Emily and Miley are like sisters. Occasionally they have disagreements but they make up and they never let it effect their work."
While Cyrus is no stranger to the rumor mill – she was recently spotted with aspiring country singer Justin Gaston sparking buzz about a budding relationship – "she's used to all of the gossip about her personal life, but when people are attacking her professionalism, it upsets her because she works really hard," says the source.
Production for the third season of Hannah Montana began last month and the network has the contractual option to film a fourth season in the future. Starting in November, new episodes will start airing including one in which Dancing with the Stars contestant Cody Linley will return as Miley's on-screen ex-boyfriend Jake Ryan.
"I'm really excited about our new season," Miley tells PEOPLE. "We are making great new episodes that I can't wait for our fans to see."
Fridey MARCH 28,2008 01:00
Miley Cyrus isn't frantic to find a boyfriend, but that doesn't mean the Hannah Montana star doesn't check out eye candy online.
Denying rumors that she's been searching the Net for a new beau, Cyrus, 15, told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS FM show, "I'm not that desperate yet" – but she did joke that she "might go on the Abercrombie [& Fitch] Web site" every once in a while for a good look.
Cyrus also came clean on sometimes thinking of ways to punk the paparazzi Ashton Kutcher-style. Calling the frenzy that surrounds her "pretty insane," Cyrus said photographers just sit outside her house all day.
Asked about reports that the paps have more interest in her than they do in Britney Spears, modest Miley almost sounded apologetic, telling Seacrest, "I kinda I feel bad, 'cause I'm a lot more boring than Britney Spears. We don't do anything. We just go to Coffee Bean."

South Portland senior Danny Guiliani, the state's premier shot put talent, who is currently ranked first nationally in his class, signs his National Letter of Intent Thursday to attend and throw at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa. Guiliani, joined by his mother, Jill, left, brother, Jonathan, and Red Riots coach, Dave Kahill, had several schools interested in his services, but ultimately he decided on the Cyclones.
"This is very exciting," said Guiliani, who is undecided on what he wants to study. "Not many high schoolers get to do this. I only went on official visits to Iowa State and (Louisiana State University). I was completely surprised with Iowa State. I thought when I went there, I was going to see too much corn, but it reminds me of home. The campus is beautiful. The people are welcoming. Great coaching."
Guiliani started track in the eighth grade, throwing the shot 32 feet. He's more than doubled that distance since (his top throw is 66 feet, 5 inches) and won the Class A outdoor shot put crown in June with a throw of 62-8.25. He hopes to reach 70 feet before graduating.
"Danny's work ethic and pursuit of success has been the most meaningful thing about him," said Kahill. "The way he works out and practices has really rubbed off and has had a positive effect on our program. His shot put distance has been unparalleled. We saw he had a lot of potential when he was a freshman. He's worked hard to reach that potential. I have no doubt he'll be successful in college."

Switzerland-based architectural firms Zwimpfer Partner Architekten and BBK Architekten partnered to create an interesting architectural extension to a Swiss school located in the village of Biel-Benken, near the city of Basel. The new architectural add-ons supplement the original buildings that were constructed 50 years ago.
The new sections of this Swiss school building feature concrete cores wrapped entirely in battens of wood with different depths, creating an interesting pattern across the building facades when viewed from different angles. In the architects' own words, "a rhythmic sequence of larch wood panels leads the eye along the exterior walls."
The wooden layer covers high windows that open on the west-facing wall of the gym, to ensure that the building isn't scorched in too much direct sunlight.

Two UN humanitarian coordinators have said the central African countries of Chad and Niger are on the verge of widescale famine. Michele Flavigna, the UN representative in Chad told a news conference last week almost one in five people are starving in that country. "Two million Chadians, or 18 percent of the population, are in a situation of food insecurity," he said. "A great deal needs to be done to counter this grave problem," he said.
Neighboring Niger is also facing a severe food shortage that could affect 7.8 million people, according to one estimate released in late January. Niger's situation is worsened by political woes as its government was overthrown last week in a military coup. A junta calling itself the Supreme Council for the Restoration of Democracy stormed the presidential palace and captured president Mamadou Tandja and his ministers in a four-hour gunbattle that left at least three people dead. The junta gave no indication of how long it intended to hold power but called on the people and the international community to support its actions. A UN official in Dakar said Niger needs a stable government to address the food crisis, and urged the new military junta to move swiftly to set elections.
In Chad, drought has led to a 35 percent fall in crop production leading to severe food shortages. The rate of global acute malnutrition for children under five in the worst-affected areas stands at almost 30 percent - almost double the emergency threshold set by the World Health Organisation. The UN is transporting 30,000 tonnes of food aid into the country from its regional supply base in Cameroon, but says tackling malnutrition will be difficult due to a shortage of human resources and functioning rural health facilities. They are calling on NGOs to increase their number of personnel who can intervene on the ground.
In Niger the approaching food crisis has prompted the UN and NGO partners to issue an appeal for aid internationally. Malek Triki, public information officer for the World Food Program said Niger is facing a structural state of high acute malnutrition and has one of the highest rates of population increase in the world. "It also has a harsh environment, made even worse by climate change and the poor management of environmental resources," he said. The situation is similar to the 2005 famine though the chaos over the coup is unlikely to help relief efforts.
Both Niger and Chad are in the Sahel desert region which faces perennial food shortages due to unpredictable rains that can cut into crop yields and the region's poverty has been aggravated by various rebel conflicts. The weather in the Sahel is influenced by the erratic behaviour of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (similar to the El Nino Southern Oscillation that causes such havoc with weather patterns in the South Pacific). Both Niger and Chad had an unusually short rainy season in 2009 leading to fears for this year's crop.
Both Niger and Chad are already near the bottom of the UN Human Development Index, a composite benchmark that includes literacy rates, life expectancy and economic wealth measures. Chad is ranked 175 and Niger is ranked rock bottom at 182. Niger's life expectancy is just 50.8 years (Australia's is 81.4), just 28.7 percent of people over 15 are literate and the per capita GDP is $627 (Australia's is $34,923 with Liechtenstein the world's highest at $85, 382). Chad's figures aren't much better. Life expectancy is actually worse than Niger's at just 48.6 years. Adult literacy is 31.8 percent and GDP per capita is $1,477.
Chad's problems have been exacerbated in recent years by an influx of refugees fleeing the fighting in neighbouring Darfur. Tensions between ethnic groups in the north and in the south of the country have further contributed to political and economic instability. Niger is still recovering from the 2005 famine with child malnutrition a critical issue. Agriculture is the mainstay of Niger's weak economy, with 82 percent of the population relying on farming. Its story is one of entrenched and deepening poverty with little interest or attention from the outside world.

The Lightbringers
The world is recovering from a great disaster, over a thousand years ago the great nation of Arcane had grwon to a degree where some within felt that they could harness the very power of the gods themselves and attempted to harness it.
Zarakon a great wizard of Arcane entrapped Dihcon the god of magic and attempted to harness the gods powers for himself howver the ensuing magic destroyed the capital city of Arcane and laid waste to the area for hundres of miles around. Only a single city stood tall amid the destruction as Goblinoid hordes ravaged the land in the aftermath of the devestation, that city was Brighthaven home to the Lightbringers.

Hello all,
My husband and I are going to Venice in a few weeks for a much needed break from the kids.
We are looking for some restaurant recommendations, and I've been searching the boards getting more and more confused!
We are in our mid 30s and like things moderately fancy, but not stuffy. I will eat & enjoy almost anything and especially love seafood. My husband is generally a meat-eater. Since we're away from the kids we are looking for delicious food and romantic places (although somewhere fun & lively one night would be nice too). A view is not important as I think it will be cool outside in October, and we paid extra for a balcony in our hotel which we expect to use at cocktail hour! We want to stay somewhere in the $100 - $150 for dinner for the two of us (of course we wouldn't argue with a cheaper place as long as its nice)... we would order multiple courses, but only one of us will be drinking.
Any ideas appreciated!

Don't forget to check out the other articles in the "Forgiving Baseball's Scapegoats" Series: Fred Merkle, Hack Wilson, Johnny Pesky, Ralph Branca , Leon Durham, Donnie Moore and Bill Buckner
The magical season was over. The Phillies' bench was quiet. It was an odd thing for this group who never seemed to shut up. Rounding the bases for the Blue Jays was Paul Molitor. He had played in the league since 1977. He had been a rookie of the year. By the end of his career he would be a seven time All Star playing nearly every infield position and, along with Robin Yount and Jim Gantner, was the beginning middle and end of the history of the Milwaukee franchise. The previous winter he had made the almost impossible decision to leave Milwaukee for the chance to win a World Series. He had shown the world what everyone in Milwaukee had known for years. He was one of the best hitters the game has ever seen. In the bottom of the 5th inning of Game 6 of the 1993 World Series he drove a 1-1 pitch from Terry Mulholland deep into the left field seats and that, everyone was sure, was the nail in the Phillies' coffin.
When the Phillies' big hitters, Daulton, Eisenreich and Thompson, went down in order in the top of the 6th the requiem bells were drowning out the Liberty Bell in the city of brotherly love. As the Top of the 7th started with the bottom of the order coming to the plate and the Phillies down by four runs it was just a matter of formality. Then, as it had all year long, the magic returned. Kevin Stocker opened the inning with a ten pitch at bat, fouling off four pitches and working a walk out of Dave Stewart. Mickey Morandini singled and Stocker, ever the spark plug, took the extra base. Suddenly something was brewing.
Walking up to the plate was the heart of the Phillies. If anyone represented the toughness and passion of this team it was the man they called "Nails" (as in tough as). If Molitor's Home Run was supposed to drive the nails in the coffin, Nails drove them right back out with a three run Home Run to right field. Tie game. Dykstra would not allow this thing to end. Not if he had anything left to say about it. Seven batters later and the Phillies had amazingly batted around and scored five runs in the inning.
Now not only were they still alive, they were only 9 outs away from forcing Game 7. Rickey Henderson, Devon White and Molitor went in order in the 7th and it was just six outs left. Toronto loaded the bases in the 8th but Larry Andersen, yes the Larry Andersen Phillies fans hear every game, got out of the inning without allowing a run and it was only three outs to go for Game 7.
Dave Hollins, Darren Daulton and Jim Eisenreich went down in order in the top of the 9th and now it was time for Phillies fans to follow whatever routine they had followed all year long. Whatever it was, it had gotten them this far. Some crossed their fingers. Some held their breath. Some covered their eyes or paced the floor or sat and prayed and some just couldn't take the stress and left the room altogether getting updates from the braver fans who watched what actually unfolded.
Rickey Henderson stepped in to hit and "Wild Thing " was sure this was the hitter that would win the game. He would need to get ahead of Rickey. It was life and death to fall behind this guy so the first pitch had to be perfect. BALL ONE. It was a small thing but now he was worried. BALL TWO. Now he was sweating. BALL THREE. Now he was screwed. BALL FOUR and Rickey was on board. No one out. The best lineup in a long time all waiting to get a shot. Devon White. Molitor. Carter. Olerud. Alomar. It was a modern day Murderer's Row but all Williams could think of was "Rickey is going to steal".
Williams focused on Devon White but was clearly distracted by Rickey. Four times in White's nine pitch at bat Williams threw over to first. Each time Rickey got back easily. White flew out to deep left-center field. Molitor stepped in. No one could remember anyone hitting this well in a postseason series. He already had 11 hits (2 doubles, 2 triples, 2 Home Runs), 10 runs, 8 RBI , 2 walks and zero strike out. Despite all that, if he failed here this would be the at bat everyone remembered.
Williams was still distracted by Rickey. He threw over to first and Rickey was back easily again. It was fun for Rickey. This was what he loved. He would inch off the base. Get into a low squat. Then wait, motionless, waiting until the pitcher's eyes were on him. Then he would lean slightly. The legs twitched. No one in the stadium knew if he was going or not. Maybe it was getting a better foothold. Maybe it was a lean towards second. Maybe he wanted to see the pitcher's move to get the timing. Only Rickey knew. Williams stared him down then went to the plate. Ball one. Williams was frustrated. Almost as if Rickey could turn a stolen base into a three run Home Run. The pattern repeated. He delivered home again and Molitor fouled it off and the dance started all over again. This time Molitor delivered and drove a single to Center field. Dykstra reached the ball quickly and Henderson held at second.
Now even the Phillies fans with nerves of steel cringed. Joe Carter approached the plate and if the Jays wanted anyone at the plate it was Carter. Big Joe was the heart and soul of this team. He was the leader. The veteran. The clutch hitter. Carter took ball one, then ball two. This was a hitter's count anyone would want. He took strike one then swung through strike two.
The 2-2 pitch,the fifth of the at bat, came in. Williams released. Put everything into the pitch. His glove hand landed on the mound giving him balance. His back leg swung around and he was almost laying on the mound. By the time that foot hit the ground the ball was headed in the opposite direction. It was high. It was moving fast and it was going very very far. Williams didn't wait. He walked off the mound. Head down. He gave one last quick glance over his shoulder just to make sure he wasn't wrong. He was right and as his head dropped again Joe Carter went into orbit. Fireworks burst everywhere in all colors. Carter jumped like a ten year old kid and flew around the bases to be lifted onto the shoulders of his teammates at home plate. It was a shocking, amazing, exciting end to a great series.
Before the ball landed in the Skydome seats Philadelphia was sure that if it were not for Mitch Williams the team would have won the World Series. There are plenty of reasons you can't blame Mitch Williams and here are just a few:
1. Mitch Williams was called the Wild Thing for a reason, really for many reasons. When he followed through on a pitch his body flew one way, his arm went another, his hair flew in a completely other direction and every swing from the opposing batters made the entire city of Philadelphia gasp. At least that is how history has told us we all acted when Wild Thing appeared in a game. The way we understand that season now Williams didn't know where the ball was going when he threw it and every appearance was an adventure. The reality is Williams had a total of 6 blown saves in 49 attempts. He also saved 43 games. That was good enough for 7th in the league.
2. Most of the Phillies didn't hit. While Molitor (.500), Alomar (.480), Tony Fernandez (.333) Pat Borders and Devon White (.292) seemed to be smacking the ball everywhere for the Blue Jays, the Phillies hitters struggled. Of the Phillies regulars only Dykstra (.348), Kruk (.348), Duncan (.345) and Milt Thompson (.294) had regular success against Toronto pitching. The key role players of the Phillies, the ones who got them there (along with Darren Daulton) failed to hit the way they had against the Braves to get Philadelphia to the World Series. Daulton (.217), Eisenreich (.231), Hollins (.261), Rickey Jordan (.200), Incaviglia (.143), Morandini (.200) and Stocker (.211) all failed to hit in the clutch the way they had in the NLCS. The Blue Jays were also much more efficient. The Phillies worked 34 walks out of the Blue Jays but struck out 50 times. The Blue Jays worked 25 walks and struck out only 30 times. The Phillies left 54 runners on base while the Blue Jays left only 39.
3. The entire Phillies pitching staff failed. There is no way to deny Williams had a very poor series but to pin the entire seres loss on one arm is ridiculous. Williams made three appearances, blew two save opportunities, lost two games and saved one. He allowed six earned runs in 2 2/3 innings pitched for a 20.25 ERA. That wasn't the worst of it all. Larry Andersen (12.25 ERA), Tommy Greene (27.00), Danny Jackson (7.20), Terry Mulholland (6.75), Ben Rivera (27.00) and David West (27.00) all had tremendously high ERA's.
4. The Blue Jays had the better team. The 1993 Phillies team is legendary in Philadelphia and provided Phillies fans the first positive baseball memories in ten years. Those memories would need to last for another 10 years as the organization struggled to regain the magic of '93. There is no denying that the Phillies team put it all together to stun everyone. The Blue Jays were built to be the Yankees of the 1990's before the Yankees of the 1990's. Their starting line up was full of All-Stars, MVP's, Cy Young winners, legends and future Hall of Fame members. John Olerud, Roberto Alomar, Tony Fernandez, Joe Carter, Rickey Henderson, Devon White and Paul Molitor were all clicking on all cylinders while Juan Guzman, Dave Stewart, a young Pat Hentgen and Al Leiter were pitching at the top of their game. If the 1994 strike had not interrupted the season there is no telling how long their run would have lasted.

Rocketship Education, a charter school network having 13 campuses, engages parents in the process of hiring teachers. In many other schools, parents wait for schools to open to meet their children's teachers. The co-founder and CEO of Rocketship Education, Preston Smith, said that parent participation has been a pillar of the chain of schools. The school's personalized and blended learning approach has always attracted national attention, Preston told Education Week. The school selects parents who undergo training to learn the basics of doing panel interviews. Sometimes the school arranges community meetings to give parents an opportunity to meet the finalists.
Rocketship Education operates on a strong belief that every student deserves the right to develop his or her unique potential. The school strives to help students to maximize their potential. The school's first campus was established in 2007 in California. Its blended learning approach combines traditional teaching with online and computer-assisted instructions. Focusing on low-income communities, the school is determined to steer transformative change through a strategic public school model that allows children to succeed in all their endeavors. Rocketship Education has the most talented educators, who collaborate with parents to deliver success. Since its inception, Rocketship Education has established a reputation of innovation and excellence.
Rocketship Education offers personalized learning. Educators are deeply committed to the success of each student. They create personalized content, learning experience, instructions, and pace to maximize the potential of each student. The other pillar used by the institution is talent development. Students get an opportunity to grow and develop their talents, thus performing well in class and beyond. At Rocketship Education, parents are actively involved in the education of their children. They make follow ups with school leaders to ensure that the students perform excellently.
The elementary school's model features four main content blocks; Humanities, Enrichment, Learning Lab and STEM. The daily routine with teachers who specialize in the above concepts improves student outcomes. In addition, teachers work closely to establish effective classroom management strategies, engage parents and create viable lesson plans. Educators help students to embrace the values of responsibility, empathy, persistence and respect. The school benefits from the visionary leadership provided by teachers, enrichment coordinators and the subordinate staff. These leaders work closely to ensure that the institution runs effectively.

For me autumn is falling into two very distinct camps: Ladylike and Grunge-y. None of this is rocket science if you have been anywhere near a high street or fashion magazine in the last two months. I like to think that i will land somewhere in between the two. I am not ladylike enough to fully represent the first moodboard; but i am also not trendy enough to fully embrace the second either.I love the idea of the faux fur tippets and wore mine over anything and everything last autumn/winter from sweatshirts and cable knits to my trusty tweed blazer. I also love that there is more tartan out there this season, and there is so much of it on the high street as well. TARTAN, tweed and wool are among my favourite fabrics and there is definitely something typically British about all three that i also love. I am excited to wear my new kilt with a matte red lip, nude brogues and one of the Mr's jumpers.

'S' is for Sunday
I am falling in LOVE with the changes out and about already, and Autumn has barely stirred. Cycling was blustery - the sun was cool and the ground is slowly s-l-o-w-e-l-y becoming littered with the first leaves to drop. I spent a few moments trying to name them, just like we used to at school. It was always easy to pick out the acorn and sycamore leaves first.
Trundling home by the castle i spotted my very first ROSE-hips. I can't believe how quickly these little devils have appeared! It seems only days ago these hedges were filled with the sweetest smelling pink roses. I have stopped countless times to jostle with the bees in an effort to stick my nose anywhere near; just to smell the sweet heady aroma. ROSES you buy in the supermarkets of florists don't smell anymore, which is a little sad.
This cheeky chap found last week has been sat sunbathing on our kitchen windowsill by a big jug of purple heather. It's just starting to open now. I'm excited to fill a huge and pretty old china bowl with CONKERS, dried LAVENDER and heather flowers when the time is right.
After hand-washing some new silk treats in Lush bath bombs, i spent the rest of the afternoon curled up with chai tea and new September magazines - trying not to turn over too many pages or fall in love with too many new shoes…coats…bags and other everythings. I love the start of a new month and even more so the start of a brand new season.
How has everyone's SUNDAY been?!

Based off of last year's design, which featured San Francisco icons like the Golden Gate Bridge and incorporated science/math icons, I created a more Berkeley-specific design with different symbols. The design was used on the camp website and the t-shirts that each participant received.

I just purged around 200 accounts registered to the site that I am 99.9% certain were bots. There's still some 300+ minimum left to purge, but I'm not in the mood for anymore purging at the moment.
Tip to bot creators: Don't use stupid and obvious TLDs (.website, .top, .online) that I can search and destroy in bulk. Use Yahoo!, Hotmail, etc. they are much more difficult to check for. Another tip, lots of dots gives you away super quickly. "o…n…l..i….n.e..f…r…e.e..m…o….n.e…[email protected]" I mean, really? Did you think that wasn't super noticeable?
One more thing, I came across an account: "[email protected]" – Is this someone I know personally? How else would some random person know that I'm a low life piece of shit? Is the secret out? Oh noes.
In other news: I'm very nearing a day of multiple releases. Be prepared! Also, I may host the new KanjiKana on GitHub since it's purely client-sided now. Not sure honestly. It's quite portable. My main issue at the moment is if I have to make updates, the cache will not purge on the client-side nor server-side for a few days here. I think GitHub updates faster, but I could be wrong.
Update 9/2/17: My definition of "near" is a little loose. I'm working on a bunch of projects back-to-back to make them release ready. So "near" could be next month. I promise that I'm getting them all prepared though.
