We just got back from Disney World and it was amazing. There is nothing like seeing your child bursting with excitement, awe, and pure joy.
Disney World is a magical place where your child's imagination becomes real life. One of my favorite moments of our trip was when Kiki and her 6 year-old cousin Jane met Princess Ariel in her Grotto. You walk into this cool mystical cave and Ariel is sitting in all her mermaid beauty waiting to talk to you. Kiki and Jane sat next to Ariel and they all just started talking. Ariel was asking them about their hair and their outfits and all the things they liked to do. They were just chatting away like old friends. It was so adorable. Here's a sample of what made the interaction so incredible:
Kiki: Ariel, your tail is really long.
Ariel: Yes, it is. Is it longer than you imagined it would be?
Kiki: It's way longer than the real Ariel.
Ariel: Well, I'm the real Ariel.
Kiki: No, no, no. I KNOW that. I mean it's longer than the Ariel that's in the Ariel movie I have.
Ariel: Oh, I see.
After literally five minutes of Kiki and Jane shooting the breeze with Ariel, we tried to tell the girls that it was time to let someone else have a turn. Ariel quickly brandished our urgings for the girls to wrap it up by saying, "Oh no. No need to hurry. We have all the time under the sea." Amazing.
Another Disney highlight was Enchanted Tales with Belle. We were ushered into a room that was decorated like the study from Beauty and the Beast. Members of the audience were picked to act out a story with Belle and Kiki was chosen to play the Beast. At the end of the story my daughter, dressed in her Snow White dress, got to dance to Belle. It was the most touching thing ever. I had tears in my eyes watching my little girl sway back and forth with Princess Belle. It was magical.
The funny thing about vacation highlights though is that your highlights are not always the same as someone else's highlights. You would think that Kiki's favorite thing from the trip might also be meeting the princesses or maybe riding all the different rides. But those were so not Kiki's favorite things. My daughter was all about the merchandise. As you might guess, Disney World is all over the merchandise. There are stands outside of every ride filled to the brim with Disney toys. Kiki would beg for us to stop at each and every stand. She would even pass on going to another attraction in favor of just playing with the stuffed toys. It was hilarious to us, but she loved it.
For me, Disney World really was the happiest place on earth. For my daughter, she may have been just as happy at the Disney Store in the local mall.
No, I'm just kidding. Kiki did love the merchandise, but now that we're home she's not telling people about the toys. She's telling them about the rides and about having lunch at Cinderella's castle. At bedtime on the night we got back from Disney, Kiki picked up the souvenir 8×10 photo of her and Cinderella at Cinderella's castle and repeatedly whispered, "I wish I could go back to Disney World. I wish I could go back to Disney World."
I'd like to go back too. But I'll need at least a couple of years to recover from the exhaustion.

Soooo, One day I woke up and had a message from Facebook that my page was going to be shut down for infringement on someone's copyrights. If that was the case, I could if I wanted to, send facebook thousands of other boutique artists/designers who infringe on copyrights daily who still have their fb fan pages still up.
I went to facebook, and they didn't give me a chance to take some of the artwork down or anything. They removed my fan page with my 1500+ fans. I was a bit bummed, though I do understand. And this is a major lesson learned for me ~ I will only from now on be doing only my own original art. It is freeing really, as painting characters was not fun for me, and I really only started to paint them just to kind of prove that I could do it. But quite frankly, I hate copying.
However, if you were one of my fans on FB and are wondering what happened to me, please click the link and RE like me ;) I would appreciate it soooo much!

We've had a bit of warm weather lately, up in the mid 70s! I've been cursing what I have come to see as hot weather, but a run of cooler weather and rain put me off my bitching and moaning. Better to have it a bit hot and sunny than cold and rainy.
The sunshine has been good for our veggies. We're growing courgettes (zucchini), broccoli, little gem lettuce, carrots, peas, beans and rocket. I made a rocket salad to go with our dinner last night, and it was delicious. Here's a photo of our little patch of heaven:

I wish everyone in America would read this. Every person I know who watch these "reality" shows never believe me when I tell them is all fiction. People has really bougth the idea of "reality" and simply refuse to believe that everything they watch on T.V is ficticious with a script and rehersals behind the scenes. What is wrong with these people who watch these shows? Why are they drawn to these fake and ridiculous comedies/dramas? Is it because they have boring lives or because they are ill-curious about other people's lives? A long time ago I went to a "live" show where we, the public were instructed and guided as to how to react, when to applaud, when to laugh and there were at least three rehersals before they taped the show. So much for "live" show. People need to understand the business of entertainment: they cannot waste valuable time and money airing without knowing what people might say. It is just pure business and as long as people understand this there is no reason to critizice the entertainment business, but when people believe it to be "real" then I have a major problem against the entertainment business: their unethical misrepresentation.
Having represented a number of celebrities in reality shows publicly and privately, I am here to tell you the shocking truth: there is nothing reality-based about this genre.
Let's start with the shows themselves, much more "show" than reality. As with sitcoms or dramas, there are takes, re-takes, re-re-takes, and so on. Eight hours to tape a half hour scene is not uncommon. Hair and makeup artists lurk in the background; producers "suggest" lines to the participants, telling them to be angrier, more excited, have bigger energy. "Talent" – as on air types are known in all television – are given plotlines to work through: catty, petty female spats, lies told to some but not other members of the cast, to create dramatic tension, props placed strategically to provoke emotions or arguments.
If you must watch these shows, at least, please, enjoy them as fictional as Days of Our Lives or Desperate Housewives. Don't believe cameras are just "catching" real people living their lives. Nothing could be further from the truth. Cameras and klieg lights and hair and makeup and producers and directors do not make for reality. If they were all in your living room, how authentic would you be?
If a reality star complains about any of this, they are referred to the lengthy (often 30, 50 or even 100 pages) contract, which binds them so thoroughly they can hardly sneeze without the express written permission of the network. For example, as an attorney I was shocked to see my clients had signed contracts barring them from ever suing for defamation, no matter how egregiously the show had manufactured a plot line making them look like liars, cheaters, even criminals. The shows get it both ways: they call the show "reality" to hook in viewers, yet absolve themselves of all legal liability even when they falsely destroy someone's character.
And at least according to the contract, they can't be sued for it.
(I told one network I couldn't believe that would be enforceable. Could the show falsely come up with a story line that my client was a child molester, and there would be nothing she could do in response? I didn't believe any court would stand for that.)
Nor can they even complain. Ironclad confidentiality provisions prevent the talent from talking to anyone about what goes on in the show. From the pages of legalese on this point, one would think reality stars are being given the codes for Fort Knox.
Hey, at least they're making the big bucks, you say. So isn't it worth it?
No. Other than the rare breakout star, reality "talent" make so little they all need second jobs. Ten or twenty thousand dollars a season – for, say, six months' work – is typical. And the thing is, they're all so replaceable. How many people can play themselves? Just about everyone. How many people can be drunk/obnoxious/loud? Hundreds of millions. So these types of reality stars are replaceable. Here today, gone tomorrow.
The production companies and networks profit, the "talent" often walk away disappointed, and we all get dumbed down from watching these shows.

Dr. Ron Petitte, professor of politics and government and director of the Center for Leadership Initiatives, was invited to attend the June 19 ceremony of the Secretary of State's release of the 2012 Trafficking in Persons Report (TIP) held in the Benjamin Franklin Room at the Department of State in Washington, DC.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton described her department's report as providing "a clear and sobering analysis of the state of modern slavery. It tells us which governments are making progress, which innovations are working best, and how we can strengthen our efforts to bring an end to this crime."
During the ceremony, ten heroes from around the world were honored for their contributions to the fight against modern day slavery. Mr. Gary Haugen, the founder, President, and CEO of the International Justice Mission (IJM), was the only American so honored. Mr. Haugen is pictured here with Dr. Petitte and Mr. Jonny Elliot. Mr. Elliot is from Belfast, Ireland, and is interning at the National Institutes of Health and volunteering with IJM. He is developing a specialty in administering health care for the victims of trafficking. Click here to access the TIP Report and to view a video of the ceremony.
Bryan's Fight Against Human Trafficking
Bryan's participation in the fight against human trafficking began in earnest with the April 2007 Commoner Forum, featuring activist and journalist, Christine Dolan, to alert students to the spectre of human trafficking. Since that time, Bryan has been involved in developing the following educational awareness programs on human trafficking to inform the Bryan community and a broader public of the growing criminal enterprise of trafficking.
- 2008: "Human Trafficking: Slavery in the 21st Century" featured U.S. State Department representative, Dr. Abraham Lee.
- 2009: "The Criminal Justice Response to Human Trafficking" featured representatives from the U.S. State Department, the United Kingdom's New Scotland Yard's "Operation Maxim Human Trafficking Team," and IJM.
- 2010: "International Human Rights: Freedom from Persecution," focused not only on monitoring and combating human trafficking but also highlighted abuses that the persecuted church is suffering worldwide. Speakers included Dr. Paul Marshal from the Hudson Institute's Center for Religious Freedom and representatives from New Scotland Yard, the U.S. State Department, and IJM.
Student Clubs
Bryan established in 2007 one of the first SSTOP (Students Stopping the Trafficking of People) chapters in the country. SSTOP plans to host Bryan's fourth conference this fall, "America's Slaves," to take place the weekend of November 9-11.
In addition, SSTOP partnered with Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) to invite Dayton's mayor to issue a proclamation for a Human Trafficking Awareness Week.
Center for International Development
The Bryan College Center for International Development (CID) has organized more than three dozen anti-human trafficking projects, seminars, and lectures at Bryan College and for other universities and social agencies in the Chattanooga and Hamilton County area. Recently, CID Director Mr. Dennis Miller was invited as a guest presenter in Central Europe to speak on the topic of the global spread of human trafficking for the "Human Rights Education" 2nd International Seminar with an audience of human rights activists from several European countries.
The CID organized for the State of Georgia Department of Education (GADOE) a series of four two-day seminars at the State Capitol in Atlanta from October 2011 to February 2012. These seminars titled "Combating Human Trafficking in Georgia" focused on training key educators from the 16 regional educational districts in Georgia, and featured the two heads of the Scotland Yard human trafficking team, an FBI agent and former Bosnian War crimes investigator, a Diplomat from the Slovak Foreign Ministry, a Policy Counsel for the Polaris Project and the former Director of CNN.
"The Bryan CID," Mr. Miller added, "has been asked by the GADOE to develop phase two of their anti-human trafficking educational program for 2012-2013. The program will be held in five locations across the state and will have an emphasis on educating students about avoiding the recruiting or luring techniques of human traffickers."
Bryan Offers New Major and Online Human Trafficking Courses
Beginning this fall, Bryan will offer a major in Criminal Justice, providing an opportunity for students to prepare for careers that support the human trafficking fight.
In addition, Bryan offers four human trafficking courses. One of the new online courses, Domestic Human Trafficking, begins Monday, July 2.

Claire's Cosmetics Eye Glitter Palette
Claire's Eye Glitter palettes come in quite a few variations but they do not have names/numbers on their palettes. This one contains all my favourite colours so I had to get it. The glitters are chunky apart from the first shade which is more like a iridescence that flashes more gold than white but they all seem to go on generously and adhere well.
Well this palette would of been perfect for me, just hate the fact that after swatching the palette it seems like it's just a overlay and nothing more is underneath than just clear gloss. This is very disappointing and I feel rather cheated. RRP is £4.00. I'd like to try NYX's version but fingers crossed it won't have this disappointment. Have you tried/owned NYX Glitter Cream Palette? What do you make of it?

nyx has something similar product too..ReplyDelete
nice palatte..:)
I like how pigmented this looks. I have tried the NYX Glitter Palette and it's average.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing hun.
I've heard the NYX is much the same. What a bummer :(ReplyDelete
I got the massive one of these. Quite useful when you just want glitter though, looks good over shadow if you apply carefully :)ReplyDelete
So disappointing! Awful that you would expect it to be glitter-filled straight through but it just seems to be an overlay. Never tried the NYX palette though, but I haven't heard great things about it.ReplyDelete
it looks beautyful! :)ReplyDelete
and great blog! :)
it would be nice if you visit my blog too :)
thats what i was afraid of, i would also love a glitter palette but not 'glitter on top of clear palette'ReplyDelete

"You can't take your faith too seriously," one of my wife's relatives said to me. "Sure, it's good to have. It's important. But there's faith and then there's the day-to-day real life."
I asked this person to explain the difference.
"Well, it's like how you want to teach people about the Bible. You can't take it for what it says because a lot of stuff has changed since then. Now we've got electricity, indoor plumbing, medicine, and stuff like that."
I asked if those things really made a difference.
"Sure they do!" she replied. "Times have changed, so the best thing to do is relate the Bible to real life today. I hope you do that when you're a pastor."
Having just met this person, I didn't feel like explaining why, if I ever became a pastor, she probably wouldn't enjoy most of my sermons.
I'll admit I don't get out much. I go to work, church, band practice, and occasionally a two-for-one night somewhere. So I actually appreciate having conversations like the one I just described because it tells me something of the cultural view of Christianity.
My wife's relative, for example, showed me how people still possess what C.S. Lewis called "Chronological Snobbery". Her argument seemed to say people who didn't know about electricity and penicillin were obviously ignorant. How could we take their inferior wisdom so seriously as to believe the Bible for what it says?
Just because people in ancient Israel believed both A: The Bible was God's word to man and B: the sun rotated around the earth does not mean belief A loses credibility in light of Copernicus.
Having said this, I do think we should discuss how we can apply the Bible to our lives in the present day. Philosopher Francis Schaeffer once said, "Each generation of the church in each setting has the responsibility of communicating the gospel in understandable terms, considering the language and thought-forms of that setting." I believe I'm better equipped to do this if I know more about the language and thought-forms of my surroundings.
Now's your chance to help me out. In one sentence (if possible), tell me what you think about the Bible and/or Christianity.

Earlier this month the federal government reported that 30,000 jobs (thus far) have been created, or were saved, due to Recovery Act funding. Since a variety of clean energy projects received funding, there is no doubt that some of these jobs were in the renewable energy sector. As clean energy projects continue to receive Recovery Act funding, these projects are poised to play an important role in the nation's economic recovery. During a recent speech at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), President Obama stressed the importance of funding clean energy projects that will provide good, green jobs for Americans.
Here is an excerpt from President Obama's speech:
"The Recovery Act includes $80 billion to put tens of thousands of Americans to work developing new battery technologies for hybrid vehicles; modernizing the electric grid; making our homes and businesses more energy efficient; doubling our capacity to generate renewable electricity. These are creating private-sector jobs weatherizing homes; manufacturing cars and trucks; upgrading to smart electric meters; installing solar panels; assembling wind turbines; building new facilities and factories and laboratories all across America. And, by the way, helping to finance extraordinary research." Source: White House
As the overall economy begins to improve, but the unemployment rate continues to grow, it is important that steps be taken to get Americans back to work. Clean energy projects can help address a major issue that the nation currently faces, the very real possibility of a jobless recovery.

Charlotte, NC (WBTV)- Tough news for South Caldwell's star running back Zac Pollard. He tore his left ACL and meniscus this past Friday in their win over West Caldwell and could be out for the season. He only had three carries in the season opener before the injury and still had 63 yards rushing and a touchdown...
Last year he rushed for more than 3, 000 yards and 36 touchdowns.
We wish him well in his re-hab. Plenty of colleges are looking at Pollard.

Farewell, My Dear Hamdi. A Dedication to A Colleague At Work.
Indigo Moon and Magic Dawn
Farewell, an ever-illumining twinkling star,
Recedes into the brilliance of the night.
Sunset's fast approaching,
But the sweet dawn of your memory lingers;
Smile flashes across an indigo moon of beauty.
Hope, sweet Hope. Another waltzing snowflake,
A moment upon the tide of eternal time,
And your magical charisma,
Will bear the promise of another day.
For now our dreams are ephemeral,
And it is no longer sunrise.
One day, perhaps, your harvest will gather
Into a cloud and fall, like gentle raindrops.
Then we'll sing deeper songs;
Cascade more roses in the ether.
Dew on a flower
Diligence, modesty and sweetness you embody,
Drawing the beauty of our Hearts,
Like fragrant lavender in seasonal Spring.
The dance of your laughter, like fresh dahlias,
Still flirts with the glimmering dew.
Only it's our Spirit's longing,
As we rejoice in a quintessence of Delight.
Come! Thou cute sweet-tempered Hamdi,
Let us renew our friendship.
Who knows, perhaps some destined day,
We'll sit and watch the moon together,
Replenishing our Spirits;
Entrusting it to the Light which gave us Love.
_Manatita, The Lantern Carrier. Copyrighted, 27th November, 2015.

Is Parting a sweet or painful experience?
Farewell of Gibran

So lofty... and sublime... It's nice of you to express your sentiments to your co-worker. One should always be thankful. Thumbs up!
Hi - You are so kind to write a lovely poem about the departure of your friend. It is nice to be a gifted poet and be able to express your feelings. Then, the final gift was to present it in a framed picture. The poem is very expressive and filled with your thoughts about her departure. Sharing. Blessings, Audrey
Very well done. Perhaps there will be miles between you, but through absence, fondness can grow even more.
Written as only you could my friend. The words and sentiments warm the heart.
You mention Mary Hyatt is not too well? I thought she was doing better? I'm not happy to hear she may be struggling.
Blessings my friend.
A lovely and fond farewell. I'm sure both of you benefited from your time together and will continue your friendship.
"Dance of your laughter, like fresh dahlias." You're definitely gifted to weave beautiful phrases. I know that you've made you colleague feel very special--something you do very well.
Beautifully written Manitita. She has benefitted more than your distant friends because she's had the opportunity to be closer to you, to talk with you, to touch and feel you and see the sincerity in your eyes to your heart. However, she's only leaving the workplace. You may continue the friendship, I hope. Blessings!
Your colleague was lucky to work with you....and from your dedication, it sounds like you were blessed to work with them...beautiful, my friend.
A lovely farewell to your friend which she will cherish forever!
Parting is such sweet sorrow, that old cliché is still true. Beautiful farewell to a friend...
wow! wonderful . You may have spent amazing moments and cherished them so well.
A beautiful farewell. It is very appealing and emotional showing the close attachment that you had and the deep feelings you are undergoing. I like the last four lines of the first part.
A simply beautiful dedication and farewell to your friend. I can tell this person is very special to you and has touched your life through a special friendship. So Pretty! :)

The story of an outcast's journey to acceptance is one that transcends cultures and time itself, from old testament bible stories to Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. It's no mystery why it resonates with a myriad of audiences from all across the age spectrum; there's a very human inclination to sympathise with the plucky fellow who's either in over his head or unjustly subjugated to cruelty. My Love Story!! (Ore Monogatari) is a refreshingly modern take that endeavours not to depict its protagonist as an unrealistically oppressed charity case but still positions him as the odd man out.
Incidentally, "odd man" is indeed an apt descriptor of Takeo Gouda. His brutish, endomorphic physique - 2m in height and 120kg in weight - has him towering above his classmates and his bulbous countenance is hardly the spitting image of beauty. Passersby don't instinctively cower away from him in a cartoonish manner, but his well-intentioned actions are often interpreted by others as having a sinister air to them. He found niche social acceptance in the form of clubs (which played to his physical prowess) and a childhood friend, but Gouda has this silent, almost passive-aggressive stigma pasted onto his skin.
In terms of redeeming features, Gouda is more down-to-earth than the absurd statistics of his build would imply. Studying is not his forte and he'd rather spend his afternoons cooped up playing video games in his messy room. Much of his dialogue would pass for charming in the body of a bishie, but comes off a tad eerie when juxtaposed by his hulking stature and gruff voice.
There to solidify his role as an object of compassion is a strong sense of justice, which leads Gouda down the figurative road to Lover's Lane when he saves a young woman, Rinko Yamato, from a sex offender on the train one day. Given Gouda's body image and that his best friend, Makoto Sunakawa, is the apple of his school's eye, Gouda fears he has no shot at dating the lovely Yamato.
Yamato very much follows the sweet, innocent girl archetype so far, but I suspect we'll see her fleshed out in future episodes as her past is revealed. She has an apparent infatuation with Gouda rather than the beguiling Sunakawa (who tags along with Gouda almost indefinitely and thus was definitely noticeable) and whether her affection is based solely on one heroic act or something deeper will be an interesting mystery. Maybe she's just a sucker for that big, manly nose?
Sunakawa, meanwhile, plays the role of the supporting friend to a tee, but he also lends the show a rather inventive dynamic by dwelling simultaneously "above" Gouda and precisely on his level. The way Sunakawa acts around Gouda versus the rest of the world has this heart-warmingly pleasant legitimacy to it that I've yet to see any anime capture so organically. He's definitely going to complement Gouda's more eccentric moments by keeping him in check, but perhaps he'll also function as an unexpected roadblock to Gouda's romantic escapades.

I take a lot of portrait and wedding shots and hear the fears of sitters that their skin isn't as perfect as the models in magazines. People forget that these models are often employed because they have perfect skin. Where does that perfect result leave the non-modelling client?
Taking a pic to leave a smooth skin is in two stages: the first is to light the person softly either with studio softboxes or, as in the example above, use the soft light from an overcast sky. The shot should be over-exposed to lose detail in the light skin tones.
The subject here is my young son; his young skin doesn't need much help. The benefits to those of us who won't see our tenth birthday again are much greater!

To celebrate Valentine's Day a little early this year, there was no better place than the Valentine Theatre in Toledo, where culture, beauty and talent shine.
A busload of locals, organized by All Aboard Travel, filled a charter bus Sunday to see Nick Nestorak of Hillsdale perform in "The Marriage of Figaro," which is considered one of the top 10 operas ever performed.
Nestorak is emerging as a tenor to watch after successful engagements in US regional opera companies. He debuted at Opera Carolina as Gastone and will return later in the season as Trin.
This season also holds a performance as Ali for Skylight Music Theatre and a solo recital in Hillsdale.
Last season, he delighted audiences as Tobias in Stephen Soncheim's gruesome favorite "Sweeny Todd" at Glimmerglass Festival after debuting there as Monastatos the season before.
Elsewhere last season, Nestorak appeared in the title role of Albert Herring and Jupiter in "Semele" at Opera MODO; and as Lord Geoffrey in the "The Picture of Dorian Gray" at Opera Fayetteville.
That's a pretty impressive rundown of someone I first wrote about when he was in the Hillsdale High School musical "Pirates of Penzance." I knew then that the guy was going places.
On Sunday, he played the part of Basilio, who was a music teacher in the Almaviva household. The crazy day of love gone awry begins when Figaro intends to marry Susanna, however, Dr. Bartolo is seeking revenge against his adversary for having thwarted his own marriage to Rosina, who is now the Countess. Meanwhile, the Count is now trying to obtain the favors of Figaro's bride-to-be, constantly delaying the wedding plans to assert his "Master's rights" of enjoying the first night with any newly married woman in his service.
Though it was all performed in Italian, the audience picked up on the story line enough to know when to laugh in the right places. It didn't hurt that we also had a "Talk Through" before the performance, with a music history teacher explaining the ins and outs of the famous piece.
She said the performance is a continuation of the story of the "Barber of Siville." When he was a barber, he was helping out a young student get with character Rosina. By the end of the story, Rosina finds out the Count is not a student and she eventually becomes the Countess. Only this is not her wedding, but Figaro's wedding to Susanna, a maid.
It was explained that the play, written by Lorenzo Da Ponte in 1784, was banned from being performed in Paris since they would not have plays that excited revolutions. It showed how the lower class was smarter than their masters in a type of Opera Buffa, or Italian Comic Opera.
There is so much love in this performance that it can't be contained and there are some twists and turns that give the plot plenty of roles in which everyone is involved.
We learned the difference between recitatives and arias and how Mozart was a great dramatist who knew the emotional context of the singers.
The costumes are beautiful to look at and the singers light up the magnificent stage, all of which make the Valentine a theatre worth boasting about. It's history goes back to 1825 and it was developed by Toledo businessman Valentine Ketchum. It's said to be the largest legitimate stage between New York City and Chicago.
Backstage at the theatre is a mural of particular interest. The cast of characters include people that only played the theatre during its first heyday of 1895-1917. The characters interact with one another and have some basis in historical fact for their interactions, wrote the artist in a small booklet I purchased at the theatre. The mural artist, Paul Geiger, wrote that he wanted to convey the sense of a story or a narrative unfolding. This, he said, greatly increased the project's degree of difficulty, but made for a richer viewing experience.
Like everything else the evening afforded, the Valentine is a place of true entertainment and knowing someone who performed there made it an even richer experience.

A photo showing children staring at the food that was given to them and other Baseco evacuees in the aftermath of Typhoon Ruby has gone viral.
Rappler.com posted the picture on its Facebook page last Tuesday with the following description:
Evacuees from the Baseco compound in Manila were fed by inside an evacuation center by relief organizations prior to returning to their respective homes on December 9, 2014."
Please note that the post did not specify the names of the "relief organizations" so it's unknown whether they were from the government or private sector.
What do you think was on the mind of the children that time?

The online gambling industry has been watching the close relationship between earth bound casinos and the virtual equivalent ever since internet betting became popular. There have been a number of situations where the online gambling divisions of old school operators have proved to be more profitable than expected.
A recent media posting regarding the possible sale of the interactive subsidiary of the icon brand Caesars Entertainment is suggesting the trend to online casinos and poker rooms has made its mark. Caesars Entertainment Corp. is struggling to stay upright. Caesars Acquisition Company was formed to make an equity investment in Caesars Growth Partners, LLC (CGP), a joint venture between CAC and Caesars Entertainment Corporation. All the fancy financial footwork still has the company making risky bets.
Caesars Interactive Entertainment, Inc. is one of the largest online, mobile and social gaming companies operating in regulated jurisdictions and is focused on casino entertainment as a subsidiary of Caesars Growth Partners. Launched in May of 2009 the online gambling division has shown significant traction headed up by former Party Poker CEO Mitch Garber. The company reported $800 million in sales combined with $280 million in earnings in 2015. Caesars Interactive Entertainment operates Playtika social and mobile brands Slotomania, Bingo Blitz and the online poker tournament WSOP.com including CEC digital properties Caesars' Bingo and Casino.
CIE assets have been kept independent from Caesars Entertainment and its huge debt load with the division reportedly now a contentious issue between Caesars Entertainment and its creditors. Bondholders say that Caesars Entertainment's complicated group structure has made the CIE valuable assets unattainable in the firm's restructuring process. There is interest in the division which could yield its $ 4 Billion USD evaluation with media companies looking for established market leaders.
New York based investment banking firm Raine Group has been retained to evaluate the proposals for Caesar's online gambling division.

Mae has been asking for us to take her ice skating since she was three years old, and so I finally got my act together and made her dreams come true!
Since her and I have dreamed and schemed about how to make it as magical as possible for weeks, the plan was for me to take her out on the ice. On our way to the rink, however, Zack asked if he could take her. His teaching skills are unmatched, and I really don't wish to relive the broken bum incident of 2009, so I pushed my mother-daughter bonding fantasies aside for the good of my bum and his father-daughter bonding fantasies.
We began the evening taking her out for whatever supper her heart could dream up. McDonalds "chicken" and strawberry pie. To the moon, Mae!
I reluctantly agreed. After we finished our meal, we grabbed the girls some hot chocolate and pie for the road and headed for the rink.
I'm sure her tummy was full of butterflies!
^ Look at that anticipation!! Makes me so happy! ^
The thrill of wobbling on skates for the first time, it's up there with wobbling in toddler heels for the first time.
The ice is in her sights!!!
Two seconds on the ice later … still enthusiastic about the outcome of the evening!!
HE DIDN'T FALL DOWN ONCE! Clearly he was the right choice.
Look how good she's doing!
Rae and I walked around (it was at an outside mall, and only 15ºF). She picked out her gift for Mae at the
ever never annoying, Claire's. (She chose perfectly!)
Next, we strolled back up to the rink to sit around the fire pit they had set up, but the smoke kept following Rae. I grabbed the iPad from the car, and sat down at a picnic table. Naturally in this moment she had to pee and, naturally, the bathroom was clear on the other end of the mall.
Enter, Von Maur.
I felt like Kevin McCallister as he entered the Plaza Hotel. As if they were sure to think I stole something walking into the store. But, they didn't, and they were terrific.
Rae decided she wanted to stay in the store (who wouldn't??) so we cautiously made our way through this Christmas wonderland of $30 socks and other various donttouchthat! items.
We went up and down (and up and down) the escalator, sat and watched the pianist as he played Christmas tunes to perfection. Then we went up the escalator, watched him from above, then back down the escalator so she could tell him, "Hi" and stare as he asked her question after question about Christmas.
By then it was time to head back to Mae. We arrived just as they were turning in their skates.
Mae was beaming! I hope she remembers that night forever.

Confucianism, Taoism and Shinto Essay Sample
Describe the views of women distinctive to Confucianism, Taoism and Shinto. In Confucianism, the women need to follow the "three subordinations": be subordinate to her father before marriage, to her husband after marriage, and to her son after her husband died, then Confucians would think she is a virtuous woman. Men could have more than one concubine, but women couldn't remarry even their husband die. Chaste widows were revered as heroes in Confucianism. As the results, the women need to follow the men in Confucianism. In Taoism, women have always been respected. In Yin-Yang, the theory of Taoism, the males and females are equally important, they are equal partners. Women in Taoism enjoyed a great deal of autonomy, and they can become the Taoist priestesses or nuns. There are several Goddesses in Taoism, such as Xiwangmu, the wife of Jade Emperor, and the Mazu, the god of fisher. The "Balance" and "Yin-Yang" are the center ideas of Taoism, so that is why they think the males and females are equally important.
There are two traditional Japanese societies, public and private. In private, in their family role, women quite often dominate the male members of the household, because the women usually dedicated to their families. But in public, due to the two old philosophies, Confucianism, and Samurai, both of them were discriminatory towards women, and thought women need to obey men, so women were the low level in traditional Japanese society. Women could not have own property, could not read political and business transactions or great literary works. But in Shinto, women generally have the same rights as men do, women can become priestess, and people cannot much discrimination in Shinto even their society discrimination women. There is nothing in Shinto that limits women's rights, and women and men are the equally important in Shinto.

Turkey deserves support over coup, says rights chief
By EUOBSERVER
Turkey deserves better understanding from its European partners over last month's "outrageous" failed coup, the head of Europe's top human rights organisation has said. "F-16 aircraft bombed parliament ... this should be clearly recognised," Council of Europe chief Thorbjorn Jagland told with the Associated Press news agency on Wednesday. But he added that allegations of torture during the post-coup crackdown must be investigated.

This article is a collaboration between MedPage Today® and:
BOSTON -- An ASK1 inhibitor called selonsertib was safe and effective in patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and advanced fibrosis, investigators said here.
In a randomized, phase II trial, patients with biopsy-confirmed NASH who received the investigational agent showed improvements in a number of measures of liver disease severity, including fibrosis stage, progression to cirrhosis, liver stiffness, and liver fat content, reported Rohit Loomba, MD, University of California at San Diego, and colleagues at the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases annual meeting.
ASK1 (apoptosis signal-regulating kinase) promotes hepatic inflammation and fibrosis in a setting of oxidative stress, which plays an important role in the progression of NASH, Loomba pointed out. Selonsertib (GS-4997) is an oral small molecule ASK1 inhibitor that has been shown in mouse models to improve steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis.
"The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of GS-4997 in subjects with biopsy proven NASH and stage 2 and 3 fibrosis," Loomba said.
For the study, 72 patients were randomized, and in the 24 weeks after liver biopsy, they received either 6 or 18 mg of selonsertib orally alone, or in combination with simtuzumab (125 mg weekly). Another group of patients received simtuzumab alone.
Liver biopsies were performed at baseline and at 24 weeks, while hepatic proton density fat fraction was measured by MRI, and liver stiffness by MR elastography (MRE) at baseline, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks. Liver fat content was measured by proton density fat fraction MRI (MRI-PDFF).
Since Loomba and his colleagues observed no differences between combination and monotherapy, for purposes of presenting data they divided the study participants into three groups:
- 18 mg of selonsertib alone
- 18 mg of selonsertib plus simtuzumab
- 6 mg of selonsertib alone
- 6 mg of selonsertib plus simtuzumab
- 125 mg simtuzumab alone
The authors found that after 24 weeks, the 18 mg selonsertib plus simtuzumab and the 6 mg selonsertib plus simtuzumab groups achieved 43% and 30% fibrosis improvement rates, respectively, compared with the 125 mg simtuzumab alone, which only achieved a 20% improvement rate
Loomba reported that results were similar when his group examined fibrosis improvement rates that occurred without NASH worsening.
"Conversely, if things are improving, there should be some reduction in terms of progression of fibrosis as well," Loomba said. "And we are seeing that." Specifically, just 5.3% of the patients who took selonsertib with simtuzumab experienced fibrosis progression versus 20% of patients who took simtuzumab alone.
The authors also reported that 26% and 13% of the 18 mg selonsertib plus simtuzumab and 6 mg selonsertib plus simtuzumab groups respectively achieved a ≥30% reduction in liver fat, compared with just 10% of the simtuzumab alone group.
"So these are big reductions in liver fat," Loomba said. "For example, if your patient started at 20% liver fat at baseline, they were down to 14% or less."
Also, 25.5% of patients taking selonsertib achieved ≥15% decline in liver stiffness versus none in the simtuzumab group.
Loomb's also found fibrosis responders in the selonsertib plus simtuzumab groups achieved significant reductions in ALT levels. "And there were dramatic reductions in CK-18 levels (in both M30 and M65 fragments) in the 18 mg and 6 mg dose," Loomba added.
As for the agent's safety, there was no significant difference between the three arms of the study regarding adverse events. There was one serious related adverse event in the 18 mg selonsertib plus simtuzumab, and three patients discontinued treatment in the selonsertib groups due to an adverse event.
"GS-4997 has beneficial effects on fibrosis regression, as well as reduced progression to cirrhosis," Loomba concluded. "Liver stiffness by MRE had some improvement in the 18 and 6 mg groups, and there were improvements in MRI-PDFF, as well as ALT and CK-18 levels. GS-4997 was also thought to be safe and well tolerated."
Loomba said the findings warrant the launch of a phase III trial.
The study was supported by Gilead.
Loomba disclosed relevant relationships with Galmed, Tobira, Arrowhead Research, Gilead, Corgenix, Janssen, Zafgen, Celgene, Alnylam, Inanta, Deutrx, Daiichi Sankyo, AGA, Merck, Promedior, Kinemed, Immuron, and Adheron.

Actor Shahid Kapoor has broken his silence on reports of his tiff with Ranveer Singh saying he never had any issues with the actor regarding their upcoming movie 'Padmavati'. Shahid further asserted that he is rather excited to work with Singh in the periodical drama.
Apparently, it was believed that the two actors are having ego clashes regarding their roles in 'Padmavati' and that Shahid is upset with Ranveer's attempt to sideline him in the movie.
However, Sasha vehemently quashed the reports and that he is neither upset with Ranveer and nor had any insecurities about his role.
"I can't really comment on what somebody else is feeling or going through. I am sure he will clarify for himself", Shahid told a leading daily.
In fact, the 'Udta Punjab' actor also lauded Singh and said that he has always been fond of Ranveer's work especially in 'Bajirao Mastani'. Sasha also emphasised that Ranveer is the best choice for the role of Allaudiin Khilji in 'Padmavati'.
Talking about his off-screen chemistry with the 'Befikre' actor, Shahid asserted that the two actors share a good rapport and often chill out together. He even recalled the moment when Ranveer bagged his debut award at an event hosted by Shahid himself.
"I remember he was crying and it was a special moment for him. So I have kind-of seen him grow in the last six years", Shahid added.
Besides Ranveer, Shahid will also be working with Deepika Padukone in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus and the actor is ecstatic about it. Sasha will be essaying the role of Padmavati's husband Rana Rawal Ratan Singh. The actor was all praises for DP saying that the 'Piku' actress has upped her game over the time and is at her best at this moment.
"She's probably doing better work than many today. So that's awesome. It's great that we are working together in a film like 'Padmavati'", Shahid was quoted as saying.
Sharing his excitement on working for Bhansali's periodical drama, Shahid averred that it is a special movie with an amazing cast and he is thrilled to be a part of it.
While Deepika and Ranveer have begun shooting 'Padmavati' early this month, Sasha will be joining them next week.
Interestingly, 'Padmavati' will be Shahid's second release in 2017 after Vishal Bhardwaj's Rangoon starring Saif Ali Khan and Kangana Ranaut which is scheduled to release in February next year.
Speaking about his future ventures, Shahid revealed that he hasn't signed any other movie post 'Padmavati' and is focussing on it completely.
'Padmavati' is touted to hit the screens in December 2017.

John E. Love, a Bataan Death March survivor who led a campaign to change the caption on a historic photo from The Associated Press, has died at a retirement home in Albuquerque, N.M.
Gerry Lightwine, pastor at the home, La Vida Llena, says Love died Monday. He was 91.
Love was one of 75,000 Filipino and American soldiers taken captive by the Japanese in World War II when U.S. forces surrendered in the province of Bataan and Corregidor Island in April 1942.
Love later worked to change the caption on one of the most famous photos in AP's library about the march. The photo, thought to be of the Bataan Death March, actually was an Allied POW burial detail.
The AP corrected the caption in 2010, 65 years after the image was first published.

1. Learn to Love Nature at Devil's Lake
Looking for some outdoor fun during the weekend? Visit Devil's Lake to embrace your adventurous side! Hiking bluffs, camping, and renting kayaks are just some of the fun activities you can do there.

2. Trek the Trail at Parfrey's Glen
Embrace your inner explorer at Parfrey's Glen. In this gorge located near Devil's Lake, you will find beautiful foliage, quartzite boulders and a stream flowing throughout. Though these trails are advanced, they are well worth the effort. Just be careful if you choose to go beyond the marked trail. You will have to hike along the water and jagged stone.
3. Make Memories at Mirror Lake
When the weather warms up, take a study break at Mirror Lake. Located only 10 minutes from campus, you'll find something you like to do there whether it be laying on the beach or going for a hike. The views of the lake from the trails are breathtaking, and this is definitely a must see during your time at UW-Baraboo/Sauk County.
4. Discover Delight at the Dells
If you're in Wisconsin, visiting the Dells is a must. There's plenty to do for everyone! You can visit one of the many water parks, go on a tour of Lake Delton, take an antique photo with family, go shopping and so much more. Embrace your inner tourist by trying all the candy shops downtown. Just make sure to give yourself an entire day or weekend to take it all in.
5. Spend Summer Seeking Fun
Spending the summer in Baraboo? Check out the downtown area to get a real sense of what Baraboo has to offer. Throughout the summer there are all sorts of events going on such as farmers' markets and concerts. Even on slower nights, it's nice to take a stroll through the area.
These five activities are a great start for any UW-Baraboo/Sauk County student interested in making the most of their time in college. What would you add to your college bucket list?

You Are Here: Home / Obituaries / Grace Seto
Grace Seto was born Chow Wai Lan near Hoi Ping in southern China. She soon lost her parents when her father emigrated and her mother passed away. She was loved and raised by her maternal grandmother and her paternal uncle until her father returned long enough to give her a step-mother and a brother. In 1947, she married Jin Hung (Wally) Seto. They had 3 sons and a daughter. The family immigrated to Canada in stages with Tom coming in 1954, everyone else in 1959 except for Mom in 1964. In the years apart, she bridged the gap by regularly sending care packages with hand-sewn clothing and treats. Unfortunately, the family reunion did not turn out as hoped and the marriage eventually dissolved. In her middle years, Mom started a career as an institutional cook, working in Pineview Lodge in Nipawin and in hospitals in Saskatoon and Calgary. In a family of cooks, she alone has her journeyman cook certification. In her retirement, she lived with Nick & Susana and helped raise Charmayne. For the first time, she got to raise a child to adulthood without interruption. She is survived by her children Tom & Helen, Nick & Susana, Michael and Shirley; her grand-children Angela, Allison, Adriana, Charmayne and Gordon.0

COSTA MESA — Plenty of faces and eyes were red on the Costa Mesa High sideline after the upset loss.
Coach Jeremy Osso's eyes were red, too, so he changed out his contact lenses.
"It's killing me," he said.
But the team that killed the Mustangs' Orange Coast League title chances wore white and maroon.
Laguna Beach shocked Costa Mesa, 21-14, on Friday night at Jim Scott Stadium, ending Mesa's hopes of winning its third league title in four seasons.

Great memory's in Koto's style

"It's a great CD for people who like Italo-dance music and the great sf-movies of the 80's and 90's. All titles are played in a great way, the only I miss is a little bit more beats. Great CD for playing a party's as background-music, on holidays load on your CD-player at the beach and as music during study."

(CNN) -- Local favorite Peng Shuai thrilled a vociferous home crowd as she progressed to the quarterfinals of the China Open in Beijing by beating in-form world number 15 Maria Sharapova in straight sets.
Peng celebrates her superb straight sets victory over in-form Maria Sharapova in Beijing.
Peng, ranked 53rd in the world, secured back-to-back breaks to win the first set, then raced into a 5-1 lead in the second.
Sharapova, who won last week's Pan Pacific tournament in Tokyo, launched a comeback, winning three consecutive games, but Peng broke again amid deafening noise to go through 6-2 6-4.
"I was having trouble with a few things," Russian Sharapova told reporters. "It was not my day today I guess.
"Usually I'm able to fight and get myself going when things are not going well and I was not able to do that today for some reason. I'm not sure why, but sometimes you have those days."
Li Na could not join her compatriot in the last eight, crashing to a 6-2 6-0 defeat at the hands of fourth seed Elena Dementieva.
Sixth seed Svetlana Kuznetsova also progressed, beating Alona Bondarenko 6-3 4-6 6-0, while Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, conqueror of Venus Williams, saw off Aleksandra Wozniak.

Awesomeness is a jewel toned purple holo, and like all the polishes from Enchanted Polish, it is very smooth to apply and very pigmented. It's opaque in one thick coat or two normal/thin coats. The holo effect is spectacular on this polish, and its not dull, even low light. The pictures below are two coats without a topcoat. They are taken outside to capture the holo effect, but I'm not used to outdoor pictures, so please forgive the less than stellar pictures.
Enchanted Polish can be found at Llarowe ($13), Harlow and Co ($15), and Mei Mei's Signatures. Mei Mei's has a few exclusive colors, but it is sold for 20 Singapore dollars, which converts to about 16.25 US dollars. You can also follow Enchanted Polish on Facebook for updates and swatches of new collections.
Thanks for reading!

I'm sure that a few of you, like me, have been avoiding using the Google Search Bar in Safari in favor of the Google app. Avoiding it not because the Google App is that awesome (it is), but because the search results page in Safari that comes up when you use the Google Search Bar wasn't optimized for Safari, but instead looked like the regular desktop page.
Well, quick tip if you've been avoiding that bar: it's been mobile optimized while you were away. No need to avoid it anymore. The above search results screen shot shows what the new (to me, anyway) results page looks like. Chad emailed in (with more than a few exclamation points) showing the same.
Treat this Public Service Announcement like all PSAs -- if you don't care, move along, nothing to see here, threat-level orange, and all that. But If you've been keeping away from that search bar, it's time to come back home.

Have you ever loved something so much that you thought about it every minute of every day? Something you might call yourself a fan of? And I'm not talking about your wife or your kids. It could be a comic book character, a videogame, or, much more often, a sports team.
Big Fan is the story of one such man, Paul, with a passion for his team, the New York Football Giants. He's so obsessed that he writes up little speeches for his favorite call-in radio show, where he develops a rivalry with an Eagles fan, while he works as a parking lot attendant. He lives with his mother, whom he regularly wakes when calling the radio show, because of his fanaticism for the Giants. He even goes to the stadium with is friend even though they don't can't afford tickets and don't have any other friends to tailgate with.
And Paul doesn't mind one bit. He's perfectly happy being, what most would call, a loser. At least until he sees his favorite Giants player and follows him to a club in downtown New York. It's a wonderfully awkward scene and I won't spoil if for you except to say that after the events of the night, Paul's life is thrown into turmoil. His hotshot brother, a lawyer with an utterly horrible commercial that he debuts for the family, wants to sue the player. His call-in show rival finds out about it and tortures Paul with the info(seriously, have you ever listened to those shows? Those guys are heartless). The cops are investigating and want Paul to snitch. All Paul wants is for his team to win. Or does he? Does he want justice or for the Giants to be at full strength?
The player gets suspended from the league anyway (that damn conduct rule) and the Giants need one win the make the playoffs, against the rival Eagles no less. Paul's radio rival is gloating about the Eagles upsetting the beloved Giants when Paul decides enough is enough. He goes to Philly and finds the sportsbar his rival talks about all the time and finds his rival, Phil. What happens next leads Paul to jail where we get one last scene. Paul and his friend talking about the just-released NFL schedule.
This is my first movie review and the ratings are as such: 1 to 5 with two questions: watch again and recommend to friends.
Big Fan receives:
4.3 out of 5
Watch again? Yes
Recommend to friends? Yes

Why Would You Need A Light Box For Drawing?
Drawing Tracing Lightboxes From Amazon.com
Lightboxes For Drawing
A lightbox is a useful piece of kit that should be a part of your art equipment and there are numerous uses for having one.
To trace a drawing, some might say say it's a cheat, but other artists often trace original drawings or just the shape of something and then I can develop the drawings into something entirely different.
A lightbox provides a brilliant underlighting illumination on your piece of paper, making it easier to see a drawing on top of a blank piece of paper.
Lightboxes are an ideal tool for animators and illustrators or even tattoo designers and they are easy to make if you wanted to.
A lightbox has many uses for the artist and the main use I use them for is to trace and repeat patter such as borders or other patterns like on a tribal tattoo and I could therefore merge two seperate designs together by tracing the previous one on top of the other.
Animators use a good quality lightbox so they can trace the underlying image and alter it slightly and they create the illusion of animation by creating cels of ordered sheets that they have traced and worked on with the lightbox and these are then captured with a camera taking a shot of each individual drawing.
Once you start using an artists lightbox, you'd be surprised at how you got along without one to begin with, I'm using mine more now than I used to and that's because they are a useful part of your art equipment..
Drawing With A Lightbox
Light boxes
Lightboxes For Drawing
I was given Light Box and wondered what the h... I was supposed to do with it. Thanks to your short tutorial, I am raring to get started using it. Thanks. How generous of you people to help such a beginner as I am.
so you can store your drawings somewhere like a box, and it never gets heavy?
I THINK I WON! WWOOOOHHHHHHHHHHoooooooooooooo???
These are so useful but can be kind of expensive. I found a pretty good online tutorial for a nice one.
Interesting article and how could anyone forget about tracing? :-) That's what people like me who can't draw---draws!
Tracing! That's it! I had an idea of drawing images to illustrate my hub pages, but I suck at drawing.
Thanks for reminding me of tracing. :)

FOOD // Oriental Chicken Salad
As I told in a blogpost a few days ago, I started eating very clean this year due to some health problems. I got advice from a few dietitians and decided to cut out all grains, artificial sugar and I also try not to eat carbohydrates and proteins together because it's very hard to digest. Most of my meals contain proteins and vegetables and sometimes carbohydrates and vegetables. More about that topic and the "why?" later :)
I will try to update my blog with some healthy recipes and learn more about food photography inbetween, would love to get better at this, it is something I've never done before and I really want to learn more about it in 2014, it's a little promise to myself. (I start off with this very very bad photograph because I had no natural light at all: boohooh! belgian winter and short days - next time I'll try to photograph at daylight.)
Here is my recipe for Oriental Chicken Salad!
- 2 chicken breasts
- 3 paprikas (yellow, red and green)
- 1 iceberg lettuce
- 1 onion and garlic
- coconut milk
- coconut oil
- turmeric + salt and pepper
- coriander
1. Cook the chicken (i made some broth before i started this dish and used the chicken from this broth, yum!) - pull the chicken apart in smaller pieces
2. Cut the lettuce and place it in a large bowl
3. Bake the paprika's, onion and garlic in some coconut oil and add the chicken after a few minutes, stir everything around and add some turmeric,salt and pepper. To finish off, add some coconut milk to make it a little sweeter. Let it cook for a few minutes until the coconut milk tickens.
4. Pour everything on the lettuce and to finish off - just add some coriander.
Enjoy your healthy meal!
