Lemonade Stands for Summer!
Every Summer as the weather warms up my kids are anxious to get out and sell lemonade in our neighborhood. We do it every year with all the kids in the neighborhood. I also love this idea because I can build in a little work ethic lesson into it (and the kids don't even know it...I'm so sneaky!). They learn the importance of buying products, earning a small profit, and saving for something they really want or need.
Here's a story I found about little girls' who wanted to be able to earn money for dance lessons. Their parents were having a hard time affording dance lessons, so the girls' learned how you have to work to earn privileges. Here's the post called Lemonade for a Cause.
So....I am currently building my own lemonade stand and am using some of these favorites for my inspiration. I can't wait to finish it!!! I'll post pictures of it as soon as it's finished!

This Vintage Lemonade Stand was found on Liluna.com. It is one of my most favorite lemonade stands I've seen yet! Who wouldn't want to buy some lemonade from the lucky kids at this lemonade stand?!?!?
This premade lemonade stand is perfect for Summer and is good for girls and boys. I found this one on Booptey Lu's Etsy Shop
Here's another adorable stand with a really cute ruffled table cover I saw at Scatterd Thoughts of a Crafty Mom's blog.
Here's a link to this pretty little Lemonade printable
Here's a link for these printable scallop labels
If you're handy (or have a handy hubby) there is a COMPLETE tutorial found HERE!
Here's my girls' with last year's Lemonade Stand! I wish I had taken better pictures....still nothing close to as cute as the stands I keep seeing floating around on Pinterest!
This year I'm determined to make an AWESOME one!!!

2017 Blue Ribbon Cup Match
The on-field showpiece of the 2017 NRL Victoria Harmony Festival on Saturday is the 6th annual Blue Ribbon Cup match.
The Blue Ribbon Cup match is played to honour and commemorate those that have lost their lives in the line of duty. Unfortunately, that number sits at 157.
The match will take place between the Victoria Police Vikings and the Wodonga Storm. For the first three years of the cup, the Vikings took on Ararat Devils which was started to help the Victorian Police field a side and stay active, but also give those in Western Victoria a chance to play more rugby league.
Victoria leads the way in such a game, with this Cup being the only annual Police Rugby League cup match in the country.
For the past three years, the Wodonga Storm has stepped into the fray and taken on the Vikings for the cup.
Wodonga's Ryan Dodd spoke about how much a privilege it is for the players to take part in something that means so much to the Victoria Police group. Dodd also mentioned that the Storm enjoy taking part in the game as it's played in such a physical yet fair fashion.
The Vikings have taken the cup home on 4 of the last 5 occasions, yet with Damien Scott and Clay Sawaki being two Wodonga players that have competed since the first Wodonga cup participation, the Storm will be looking to hit back and win the 2017 edition.
Victoria Police's Barry Randall spoke about the match and what the match means to the Police side. "In their job, the police rely on each other; this game gives them the opportunity to step away from that stress through sport". Randall also touched on the fact that the match is played in the spirit of friendship, comradeship whilst also promoting health and fitness.
The Victoria Police Rugby League side not only offers participants to play in this one off cup match, but there is an opportunity for Victoria Police to represent the Affiliated States and Territories Police side. Each season that side take on NSW Police and QLD Police in a tri-series.
From the tri-series, the best players are selected to represent the Australian Police Rugby League side. The Australia Police side then goes on to tour and play matches each year.
The Vice-Captain of the current Australian team who this week beat Fiji in Fiji as the curtain raiser to the Kangaroos v Fiji RLWC friendly is Viking Brendan Williams. Brendan who is a Senior Constable with the Dog Squad has a strong resume having played for the Noosa Pirates in the QRL as well as strong English club Hemel Hempstead in the UK Championship League. Brendan is also the Captain of the Affiliated States & Territories Police Storm RL team who are sponsored by the Melbourne Storm.
Since 1999 (Vikings Rugby League Side) the club has had a number of players selected in the Australian Police Rugby League team who have played international matches in Australia and overseas. The Vikings have also had a few duel internationals that have also played for the Australian Police Rugby Union team. Sergeant Barry Randall, the Vikings Club President and founder of the Blue Ribbon Cup concept was the first Victoria Police member ever selected to the Australian team in 1999 when he toured the USA. That tour led to an opportunity to take leave without pay from the police force to return to the USA as player-coach of the New Jersey Sharks in the USA Super League in 2000. Barry then went on to play in the UK in 2001 for the Oxford Cavaliers and the London Broncos in the English Super League.
In what is such a great cause and occasion, make sure you get down to Casey Fields on Saturday to support both the Victoria Police Vikings and the Wodonga Storm!
Comment Guidelines: The SportsTG Network is made up of players, families and passionate sports followers like you who have a strong opinion about sport. That's great - we want you to have your say and share your thoughts with the world. However, we have a few rules that you must follow to keep it fun for all. Please don't be rude, abusive, swear or vilify others. Apart from some pretty serious sport sanctions, we also can ban you and report you if things get out of hand. So play fair and have fun, and thanks for your contribution.

Superb Stefan Permien dominates the Freestyle event of the 2009 KPWT Canada
- 27 August 2009 | Kiteboarding
The KPWT Acadie Kiteboard Pro started off on day 2 with 3 exhilarating course races! Each race was run over two laps and a distance of 4.5km. The wind was at 12-14knots and blowing from the southeast. The course was set out in a triangular shape and took the winner of each rider no longer than 22 minutes.
This morning (Day3) started with huge excitement after a good forecast for the day. The Skippers meeting was held at 07h00 and the race director gave the green flag to start with the freestyle single elimination. The wind was constant at 25-30knots and from a good southerly direction.
And what a day it was for Stefan Permien! He was in sublime form and looked at home in these conditions. He defeated the likes of Leander Vyvey (BEL, JN), Mickael Schitzhofer (AUS, JN), and Jesse Richman (HAW, CABRINHA), meeting Vincent Tiger (FRA, F-ONE) in the final! The final was epic and the riders were getting great power and performing some smooth strong moves.
Tiger launched himself into a HUGE kiteloop, followed by a stylish front and back mobe. It just didn't seem enough to defeat the man of the day whose array of tricks from back mobes to kiteloops and a stylish sbend-pass, was deserved of the freestyle singles title!
The women's final was between the Wave Master World Champion, Kirsty Jones (UK, NORTH) and Kari Schibevaag (NOR, OZONE), who has now reached her second final in a row on the 2009 KPWT.
And congratulations to Kari Schibevaag for winning her first women's freestyle single elimination on the KPWT. You are proving yourself to be a strong contender this year and we hope you keep enjoying the KPWT.
At 14h30 the race director started the double elimination to take advantage of the strong conditions. The results and further details will follow tomorrow.

City of Long Beach and the Police Officers Association Reach Tentative Agreement on Pensions
2011-08-26 · By Editor
On Wednesday the City of Long Beach and the Police Officers Association (POA) announced a hallmark tentative agreement to significantly reduce pension costs, enact pension reform, provide future budget relief, and protect police officers from layoffs in the upcoming Fiscal Year 2012 budget. The POA voted and overwhelmingly approved the agreement.
"This vote affirms that POA is providing real pension reform and recognizes something that I've said time and again – sustainable pensions are in everyone's best interest." said Mayor Bob Foster. "I applaud the members of the Long Beach POA for taking this important step and recognizing that the fiscal health of our city and high quality level of public safety service that this community deserves go hand in hand.
"This vote demonstrates yet again that our officers are more concerned about the public's safety than they are about their own personal financial gain. It is an honor to represent such selfless people," said Police Officers Association President Steve James.
This is the second time in the past two years that the Police Officers Association has come to an agreement with the City to help address fiscal issues, although they were under no obligation to do so.
This tentative agreement will return to the City Council in closed session on September 6, 2011 and, if approved, would come to the City Council in open session shortly thereafter.

Matching family tree profiles for George 'Goldenhawk' Sizemore
Immediate Family
About George 'Goldenhawk' Sizemore
GEORGE SAMUEL SIZEMORE was born 1783 in Washington Co., N.C. (Tenn.), and died May 06, 1864 in Magoffin Co., Ky. He was called Goulden in earlier times and later he went by Goldenhawk.

He was listed as age 77 in the 1860 Magoffin Co. KY census, the first census of the newly formed county. He died May 1864. He was a resident of the meadows section of Magoffin County near the mouth of Oakley Creek, about one mile north of Royalton, KY.
He married 1st Sally Anderson in 1810 in Hawkins Co., TN. Sally, daughter of George Anderson, was born between 1783 and 1792 in Hawkins Co., TN or NC and died 7 Apr 1840 or 1842 or 1850 in Royalton, Magoffin Co., KY. Their children are:

He married 3rd Mary Ann Womack in 1848. Their child was:
- Granville Sizemore was born in 1833/34 in Magoffin Co., KY and died on an unknown date.
There are no known photos of Goldenhawk, but was said to be a big man and to have hair the color of gold, where he got his name from. He is buried at the Mouth of Oakley Cemetery near Royalton, in Magoffin County, Kentucky. There was found his headstone and a second stone with the initials G.S. and S.S. It appears that the stone with the initials is actually a footstone for Goldenhawk's grave.
He is well remembered and respected by his descendants. A great many of them travel from all parts of the United States to Magoffin County to visit his gravesite. A further mark of the reverence in which he is held is the fact that he has had a least three markers at his gravesite. He died during the Civil War and no doubt his family placed some type of marker at his gravesite which is located in what is thought to be one of the oldest cemeteries in the area. In the 1930's several of his descendants placed another marker, an event that was reported in the Salyersville Independent.
In the 22 Jul 1938 issue of The Salyersville Independent a new item tells the following information: "THREE AGED GRANDSONS SET MONUMENT TO GRAVE Jeff Sizemore 96, Calloway Montgomery 81, and Crit Montgomery 77, grandsons of George Sizemore and his wife Sallie, recently set a monument to the graves of their grandparents who died in 1864 and were buried near the old RC Salyer home. They were assisted by Uncle Jeff Sizemore's grandson WJ Sloan and his wife. The marker set in 1938 had fallen into disrepair. It had been mended but the glass inset that held the information on their ancestor had long since broken and disappeared. The Magoffin County Historical Society with the aid of many of his descendants placed a new marker for Goldenhawk in Oakley Cemetery on March 30, 2002.
What made George "Goldenhawk" Sizemore so unusual is that he fathered 54-57 children, a figure that is debated by historians. However, George, himself, boasted on at least one occasion that he had fathered 55 children. Census records show Goldenhawk at one time supporting four different families with 7 to 10 children in each of them. In 1860, he was indicted for bigamy in Floyd Co., Kentucky, and according to minutes from the hearing, the judge said, "Mr. Sizemore, I understand you have about 50 children, to which Goldenhawk replied, "I guess you're right. But, judge, if I'd been half as pretty a man as you are, I'd had more than that." There are no known portraits of Goldenhawk, but he was said to be one of the ugliest men that ever was, puzzling his descendants, leading them to believe he had more attractive qualities than good looks.
Lee Mueller further wrote, "...Goldenhawk's biblical seed during the last century has spread across the land like puffs of dandelions in a strong wind. There are now so many Sizemore descendants that when the Magoffin County [Kentucky] Historical Society decided this spring [1999] to erect a proper tombstone to "the progenitor of many," president Todd Preston remarked: 'If all of Goldenhawk's people donated just $1, we'd have enough money to build a monument as big as the courthouse.'"
George belonged to the Whitetop Laurel Band and was Chief of that Tribe in what is now Prestonsburg (Floyd County) Kentucky. Supposedly when he began dating a woman in North Carolina, named Sarah Anderson. Sally as she was called, had several brothers that objected to their sister dating an Indian. One night these brothers waylaid George with the intent of killing him. Goldenhawk fought vigorously, then went into the house, got his girl Sally and they left and entered Kentucky. From what has been found, Sally was Goldenhawk's only "official" wife.
It has been told from generation to generation that Goldenhawk would just be walking along the road until he got to a house, he would then walk up on the porch and ask for a cup of coffee. If he got his foot in the door, they generally let him in. Eventually, Goldenhawk had a woman in this house over here and another one over there. Records do not indicate what Goldenhawk did for a living, but he was a landowner and maintained and fed several families, all of them his own.
Goldenhawk finally, in 1860, was indicted for bigamy in Floyd County, Kentucky, and according to the minutes from the hearing, the judge said, "Mr. Sizemore, I understand you have about 50 children." Goldenhawk replied, "I guess you're right. But, Judge, If I'd been half as pretty a man as you are, I'd had more than that."
George Goldenhawk Sizemore was born in Virginia in 1783 and died in Magoffin Co., KY in 1863. He had four wives/partners and 55 children. The purpose of this project is to verify those partners and identify which partner was the mother of which children. There is no known photos of Goldenhawk, but was said to be a big man and to have hair the color of gold, from which he took his name..
Background George "Goldenhawk" Sizemore, was called Goulden in earlier times and later he went by Goldenhawk. He was born some say in North Carolina and some say Virginia. He was the son of George All Sizemore and Agnes Cornett Shepherd. He was the brother of Henry "Hunting Shirt" Sizemore. He is buried at the Mouth of Oakley Cemetery near Royalton, in Magoffin County, Kentucky. The Magoffin County Historical Society with the aid of many of his descendants, has placed a new marker for Goldenhawk in Oakley Cemetery.
George "Goldenhawk" is reputed to have fathered 55 children by, Agnes "Sallie" Anderson, Mary Ann Womack, Alethia "Ally Jendo" Richardson and Annie Elizabeth Hart.
Between 1810-1812 in Hawkins County, Tennessee he married his first wife Sarah "Sallie" Anderson the daughter of George Anderson. Their children are; Elizabeth (Sizemore) Arnett, John Sizemore, William "BlackHawk" Sizemore, Nancy (Sizemore) Hoover, Susan (Sizemore) Wireman, Vina Sizemore, Florence (Sizemore) Wireman, Sarah Sizemore, Agnes "Aggie" (Sizemore) Montgomery, Catherine (Sizemore) Montgomery and Granville Sizemore. He married second wife, Mary Ann Womack. His daughters Agnes "Aggie" and Catherine Sizemore married brothers Silas and Samuel M. Montgomery. George and Alethia Richardson's children are; Polly (Sizemore) Hays, Betsy (Sizemore) Hunter, Rachel (Sizemore) Hays, Winnie (Sizemore) Martin, George B. Sizemore and Stokley Sizemore. George had a relationship with Annie Elizabeth Hart and probably fathered children with her. So we have the four partners but we don't have fifty-five children. At the inception of this project (12/7/10), Geni only showed 38 children, and some of them might be duplicates.

Ellen Kelly's Moroccan Chicken Pot Pie Galette or Faux Bisteeya
Nov/Dec 2011
Phyllo pastry can be used to make a galette
as easily as puff or short-crust pastries. And isn't it a wonder what a little cinnamon can
do for flavour!
The only absolute requirement for this is leftover chicken. Use whatever leftover vegetables and gravy you have as well. Begin by sautéeing 1 chopped small onion and 1 minced garlic clove in some olive oil and butter until soft. Sprinkle a little flour over the onions (about as much flour as fat in the pan) and continue to cook for 2 to 3 minutes. This will give you a roux, to which you add a splash or two of chicken stock, white wine or apple juice.
Add your leftovers: chopped chicken meat, cooked carrots, peas, potatoes, beans, and don't forget the gravy if you have any. A few raisins and pine nuts are delish, but aren't absolutely necessary. Season the mixture with salt, freshly ground white pepper and cinnamon to taste. Let this mixture cool.
Keep a tea towel over 6 to 8 sheets of thawed phyllo pastry while you work, to prevent it from drying out. Brush each phyllo sheet with melted butter and sprinkle each layer with a pinch of sugar. Layer the phyllo sheets off-centre on the baking sheet to create a star-like effect. Pile the chicken mixture in the centre, fold the edges of the pastry around the filling and brush the "pie" with more melted butter. Bake the galette at 350°F. for 25 minutes, or until the centre is hot and the pastry is golden and crisp. Let the "faux Bisteeya" cool a little before you slice it. Serves 4.

Tags: 21-37, D-League, Etonic, Hakeem Olajuwons, lottery, lottery pick, minnesota timberwolves, nba, nba draft, nba standings, wolvesnation
Suck it, NBA! We're 21-37 now.
That's 21 teams now that have succumbed to the Minnesota Timberwolves' mad skills. 21 dreams scorched and ruined. 21 teams, with 12 players each. That's 252 souls sent to the dark depths of Sheol to spend eternity as paper-thin waifs thanks to us. Some of those 21 teams were the same teams again, but that's when their souls clawed back up to earth and we kicked them back down again. Kiss the sole of our Hakeem Olajuwons, playa.
I feel sorry for the scrap-heap of teams with worse records than us. What's it like to SUCK, Cleveland, Phoenix, New Orleans, Sacramento, Washington, Orlando and Charlotte? We wouldn't know. We have the 23rd best record in the league out of 30. Top 25%, bitches! If the top were actually the bottom.
All the other NBA teams are whack. You think you're going to bring that weak layup in here? GREG STEIMSMA IN YOUR FACE! He just fouled out in two minutes flat. Ohhhhh yeah, Steamer! Is that your head spinning? Because JJ Barea is running circles in the paint and giving every center over 6'7″ five blocks a game. Daaaammmmnn! Check out the highlight reel of Derrick Williams doing so many pump fakes that he forgets to even shoot the ball! Cock-a-doodle-doo!
And the teams we WILL play? They just sit at home and drink Arnie Palmers with their Grandmas and try not to think about how they're going to get decimated by a mid-level D-League team.
21 teams annihilated.
And 37 that got lucky.
Flip Saunders Could Possibly Replace David KahnPosted: 03/05/2013 in Uncategorized

Rumor has it that Flip Saunders could be the next GM of the Minnesota Timberwolves, replacing David Kahn this summer.
"Oh no," many Timberwolves fans might gasp. "Flip Saunders is an ineffective idiot with a dumb name and a stupid face!"
What? Are you paying attention? Forget the line about Flip Saunders. Focus on the "replacing David Kahn" part. Ding-dong, the worst GM in the history of the NBA is almost dead. It's pathetic that as Timberwolves fans we've been relegated to "lesser of the evils" scenarios, but anybody is better than David Kahn as GM. Anybody. Kwame Brown, Michael Jackson's doctor, James Worthy's prostitute, James Worthy's prostitute's doctor. Anybody!
Flip wasn't the best coach in the world. But he was there for the golden Kevin Garnett years. Maybe this is what it's come to? The Timberwolves are an old maid who passed on too many suitors as a young lass. And now we're middle-aged and flabby, calling old flames trying to rekindle past romances.
"Hey baby, remember when we went to the Western Conference Finals? And then lost. And then illegally signed Joe Smith and lost our draft picks for five years when we got caught? That wasn't so bad, was it? I'm at the Super 8 by the off-track betting if you're interested. Bring some pull-tabs!"
All I care about at this point is that we get rid of David Kahn and we keep the team in Minnesota. I can deal with everything else. I can deal with 25 win seasons being our best in years. I can live with Kevin Love leaving. I'm okay with only arctic Inuits signing with us because everybody's afraid of our winters. The only thing I can't stomach is the Seattle Timberwolves.
We just lost to the Miami Heat, who have now won 15 in a row. That's neat. Next up we play the Washington Wizards on Wednesday at home. Only 25 games to go!
Make it stop.
Tuesdays With Ricky Rubio: "Change This Face…Be Happy…Enjoy!"Posted: 03/01/2013 in Uncategorized
Tags: alexey shved, change this face be happy enjoy, la lakers, life, los angeles lakers, minnesota timberwolves, nba, quotes, Ricky Rubio, wisdom, wolves nation
Ricky Rubio changed my life last night.
Here's what happened: The Timberwolves were getting their asses handed to them in a season full of ass-handery. Alexey Shved, who's been playing poorly, is not taking it well. Enter Ricky and seven simple, adorably accented words.
"Alexey, change this face. Be happy. Enjoy!" (Video below)
Are there truer words in the world? This is what I need to remind myself of every time the bitch in my apartment complex let's her dog pee in the elevator or when I remember that Indiana purposely exists as a state. How easy is it to get wrapped up in the world and think that our cellphone bills and portfolios and social status are all that matters? I don't even know what a portfolio is, to be honest. Is that like a Trapper Keeper for accountants?
This is going to be my new creed whenever something unimportant starts to piss me off. Whenever the small town Subway line takes forever because country people don't have anywhere else to be. Whenever the stupid CVS lady puts my soda bottle in a bag even though she knows damn well that I come in every day and never want one. Whenever the people with clipboards, vests and skinny pants downtown harass me on the street because they want my signature to help protect our rights to ironic epiphanies.
Shhhh…listen to Ricky:
"Brody, change this face. Be happy. Enjoy!"
Life is short. Don't forget to enjoy it and smile or it'll pass you by.
Thanks Ricky.
Go Wolves!

Fashion is a funny thing—a designer brand name can make something ordinary seem extraordinary, as this C&A Fashion experiment proves.
The fast fashion line in Brazil wanted to do something extra special to promote the launch of its new collection, signed by Calvin Klein designer Francisco Costa. In order to present the garments as exclusive, a few pieces from the collection were put on display, but they were made to be just out of reach. Each of the garments was displayed on a locked hanger, which would only open when a certain number of Facebook likes was collected. When unlocked, all of the women who liked the garment received a virtual key on their smartphones to scan the lock and the first one to make it to the store and free the garment from the hanger got the exclusive item.

This paper presents a review of literature related to the vacuum consolidation ground improvement technique, focusing on issues affecting efficiency of performance and the application of the technique in peaty ground. Although it is now widely considered to be effective for reducing post-construction settlement, studies on vacuum consolidation in peat have, to date, mostly been limited to field trials. This paper offers an overview of the development and theory behind the technique. Issues affecting the efficiency of vacuum systems and recent advances in predicting the ground response to vacuum preloading are described. The application of the technique in peaty soils is investigated; an overview is also provided of some geotechnical properties that distinguish peat from soft mineral soils, highlighting lessons learned from relevant case studies.

The £50 million high rise flat
The Shard was lit by lasers and serenaded by the London Philharmonic Orchestra to mark its official inauguration this week. More than 17,500 people have applied for tickets for the viewing gallery at the top of the 95-storey building . Yet for all the fanfare, Europe's tallest building, stretching 310 metres into the clouds, will not open for business until next spring.
Behind the shiny completed exteriors the interiors remain unfinished. Granite floors, marble-cladded walls and a colour pop of orange around the lift hub are the only clues so far to the interior design of one the most controversial pieces of architecture to pierce the London sky.
To its critics, the £1.5 billion project, which has taken 12 years to come to fruition, is…

This is actually good news, a retired environmental scientist was able to capture on film what is believed to be the first ever wild beaver (Castor fiber) since the 16th century in England, signaling a possible return of the beaver in England.
Not Justin Bieber-The Eurasian Beaver (Castor fiber)
The scientist, named Tom Buckley, noticed the signs of a possible wild beaver on his property and taking special interest in a tree that was noticeably "nibbled" on, he was prompted to set up wildlife capturing trail cams to hopefully catch the culprit.
Buckley commented to the Daily Mail last week that while he suspected the marks to be that of the extinct Eurasian beaver, or Castor fiber, he needed photographic evidence to make himself (and other conservationists) believers, or 'Belieber's.
"For me it posed the question: could it have been a beaver, or was it some kids messing about?"
This species of beaver, Castor fiber, was hunted to near complete extinction by the 1900's for both it's water repelling fur and castoreum (a strong smelling gland secretion unique to the species used in colognes).
It is a similar yet different type of beaver than the American beaver, they also cannot cross breed-just in case you were curious.
Successful reintroduction and breeding programs have re-surfaced this species in the eastern hemisphere. According to the Large Herbivore Network, the most successful areas being in western Europe. Biologists have predicted that over the next decade these beavers will be a common mammal, or rodent.
Perhaps the first bit of tangible evidence of the return of the wild beaver, Mr. Buckley's trail cam, which (activated by movement) caught the chomping wood chucker in fact, felling a tree.
Ironically the location of the potential damming evidence is located on the banks of the River Otter (you can read that sentence again if you like).
The nature of the rodent being nocturnal makes it difficult for us day-time humans to catch evidence of wild beavers, and searching for photographs of the elusive Castor fiber turns up mainly damaged trees, proving humans are likely still not forgiven for the mammals troubled past.
In this video, not unlike the beavers mistaken counterpart, this beaver (not Bieber) gets in trouble with speeding vehicles and also makes some wrong decisions, but thankfully gets out of the incident relatively unscathed, not before giving an awkward and embarrassed pose for the cameras though (hmmm-coincidence?).

Over £32,000 has recently been awarded by Rosa, the UK Fund for Women and Girls, to support the development of a mental health service for FGM survivors in Birmingham.
Made possible by the Kering Corporate Foundation, the funding has been awarded to Birmingham and Solihull Women's Aid to develop their existing support to FGM survivors to include greater support around emotional well-being.
Although FGM has physical health implications there are also mental health implications and women might suffer from PTSD, depression or relationship problems. There are currently very limited services for supporting survivors of FGM in the UK, despite the large numbers of women living with FGM. Support such as counselling is very limited with only a few services in the whole of the UK.
Céline Bonnaire of the Kering Foundation said
Launched in 2009, the Kering Corporate Foundation combats Violence Against Women. In Western Europe, the Foundation is engaged in fighting Harmful Traditional Practices. As a part of this strategy, in 2015 we decided to join The Tackling FGM Initiative, an innovative and impact-driven approach designed by Rosa Fund UK, The Esmee Fairbairn Foundation, Trust for London and Comic Relief. We are proud to support this project, in particular the dissemination of good practices and the replication of a mental health center for survivors of FGM.
Samantha Rennie of Rosa said,
Through our work with affected communities over the past six years, Rosa knows that the overwhelming majority of survivors speaking out against FGM have received mental health support. Given the importance of survivors' voices in the success of the Tackling FGM Initiative, it is vital that more women are able to access such services.
In addition to their grant, Birmingham and Solihull Women's Aid will benefit from mentoring from the Dahlia Project, a counselling service for FGM affected women which was devised and run prominent FGM activist Leyla Hussein. Following a recent visit from Hussein, Nasheima Sheikh of Birmingham and Solihull Women's Aid said:
The funding from Rosa and The Kering Foundation will make a substantial difference to women survivors of FGM in Birmingham. There are many FGM survivors in Birmingham with a prevalence rate of 12.4% per 1000 population; these survivors are also from many different countries spanning Africa, the Middle and Far East.
When women realise the full reality of what has been done to them and the lifelong consequences that result, they need a lot of in-depth emotional support as this has an impact not only on their own health, but also on their family relationships. What is wonderful about this grant is that it comes with support from Leyla Hussein, who will be training our staff on how she has supported FGM survivors. We are really looking forward to being able to provide emotional and practical support in-depth to the many FGM survivors in Birmingham.

La Carreta Restaurant Review: La Carreta is the best-known Cuban eatery in Miami. The original location opened in 1976 in Little Havana, and it has expanded over the years. Some outposts have cafeteria-style counters with hot food like the one in the Miami airport where arrivals are greeted with the aroma of strong coffee; others boast more formal spaces with a larger menu. Expect to find black bean soup, fufu con masitas (mashed plantain with fried pork chunks), and ropa vieja ("old clothes"), a type of Creole shredded beef stew. The press-heated Cuban sandwich is a classic with ham, roast pork, Swiss, mustard and pickles, best washed down with a café con leche followed by coconut flan.

The City of the Word
"There he is," shouted disciple Ah Lian, as Abba Ah Beng walked wearily through the Sow-lin Monastery gate. "Abba, how was your journey?" Abba Ah Beng smiled lovingly as his excited disciples clustered around him, shouting and dancing with joy at his return. "You have been away for six whole months!" exclaimed disciple Ah Kow who was jumping energetically. "Yes, tell us what you saw," inquired exchange disciple Iskandar. "What did you bring me?" asked disciple Ah Lek eagerly.
Abba Ah Beng lowered himself onto his favourite stool underneath the Frangipani tree. The tree was in bloom and the fragrance of the flowers embraced them like a warm comforter on a cold winter's night. The Abba looked frail and exhausted. His winkles seem to have deepened with age in the past six months he had been away and his eyes have a haunted look which his disciples had not seen before.
"Thank you," Abba Ah Beng said as he accepted a cup of cool water from the spring in the back gardens. "It is good to see you again, my beloved disciples." Abba Ah Beng has a distinctive way of speaking that comes from reading too much of the King James Bible in its first edition.
"As you know I have been on a long quest to seek the famous City of the Word. I have tracked the foothills of the Himalayas and braved the jungles of Sarawak to track down this elusive city. After many adventures, hardships and dangers, I finally found the fabled city. It lay in the East from which much wisdom has been arisen.
"It was a bright cool morning when I finally entered the city gates. There was a cool breeze and the sky was bright blue. In the background, I can hear the beautiful singing of the thorn birds. The people of the city came out to greet me. They are extremely friendly and gracious. I was welcomed with food and drinks and a place of rest. The people are happy and they have a peaceful look on their faces. However I noticed that all the adults have only their left eyes and their left hands. I also noticed that they all discretely gazed at my right eye and right hand.
" 'Is this the City of the Word where the people are blessed by their obedience to the Scriptures?' I asked them. 'Oh, yes,' they replied happily, 'we are that city and in our obedience to Scripture, we are not longer cursed by evil. We are happy and God has blessed us abundantly.' 'Then what happened to your right eyes and right hands?' I asked the Chief Priest who was among the first to welcome me. 'Don't you know, Abba?' answered the man in surprised.
The Chief Priest then led me to their temple which was built in the exact centre of the city over a river which flowed through the city. The people were following us and soon it became a big procession. There was a hush as we entered the temple. Ahead at the front of the temple on the altar was an opened Scripture. The Chief Priest led me to the open book and asked me to read. I read, 'And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.'
Then I understood. 'You plucked out your right eyes and cut off your right hands yourself!' 'Yes,' answered the Chief Priest proudly, 'All of us are now safe from evil except for the children who are too young to know better. What about you, Abba? Will you like to save your soul from hell by the way the Scripture taught?'
"I told them that I would like to pray and meditate before my commitment to that course of action as the sky was darkening towards evening. After a simple meal, they directed me to a simple cell which is to be my lodging for the night. I waited for them to fall asleep, then crept out of the cell through the window, climbed over the city wall and ran as fast and as far as I can from this City of the Word. I am so happy to finally see the walls of the monastery and your faces," concluded Abba Ah Beng. There was silence after that as the young disciples tried to understand the horror of what they have heard.
"I thought that the City of the Word is a holy city and the people who lived there are blessed," mused disciple Ah Kow.
"Yes," said Abba Ah Beng wearily, "the City of the Word is a holy and blessed city. But you see, I went to the wrong city!"
"I went to the City of the Literal Word."

Yamaha CX-A5100
Now with Yamaha's MusicCast streaming inbuilt.
The new Yamaha CX-A5100 now has evolved into a true thoroughbred, as this sophisticated processor now has full object based audio capability with Dolby Atmos® support and DTS:X™ support now inbuilt. The CX-A5100 utilises the most sophisticated engineering and technology, as well as traditional craftsmanship, for pure sound reproduction. As part of the no-compromise design policy, Yamaha created an advanced chassis with strong rigidity. The attention to detail is seen in both their application of A.R.T (Anti-Resonance Technology) and their H-shaped cross frame design that boosts mechanical strength, by adopting aluminium side panels that increase the stiffness of the housing, and by a three-ply structure with independent top cover and side panels.
All AVENTAGE products are based on the audio design concept of providing a massive, full-bodied sound for movie sound effects and the accurate reproduction of music sources, and the CX-A5100 is no exception to these rules. In the CX-A5100, all channels use ultra high performance ESS ES9016 DACs, which provide 192kHz/32-bit compatible high SN ratio and dynamic range, ensuring that it can faithfully reproduce audio signals from Blu-ray and other players, and high quality signals from high resolution sound sources input through your local network. The attention to detail with reducing noise and distrortion can also be seen in the fact that the CX-A5100 also features balanced inputs as well as 'unbalanced' for interconnection with the MX-A5000 power amplifier (The CX-A5100 also allows balanced audio input connection to high grade source components such as CD players).
When it comes to AV performance the CX-A5100 calls on Yamaha's best processing technology with CINEMA DSP HD3 Expanding the sound field vertically for more thrilling and realistic surround sound, plus the CX-A5100 also has 33 DSP programmes - including 'Spectacle' for movies with strong visual and audio impact, 'Sci-Fi' for SFX movies, 'Adventure' to emphasise the sound of action movies, and drama. Compatibility with the Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD sound formats also means you are guaranteed to hear the full potential of every movie and music source. This performance has now been boosted to include processing for the new and exciting object based audio formats with both Dolby Atmos® support and DTS:X™ support now inbuilt. This means that when paired with the Yamaha MX-A5000 multi-channel power amplifier - or other suitably adept higher end performers (like the stunningly good Parasound Halo multi-channel power amplifiers), the result will be an utterly absorbing and highly dynamic high end home cinema system that will grace the very best of installations.
Being a network processor it enables seamless connectivty and control with mobile devices, with AirPlay and Bluetooth. Plus it can be beautifully and intuitively controlled via Yamaha's excellent AV Controller App for Andorid and iOS devices. Being a fully DLNA compliant product it can stream music from computers on your LAN or NAS drive, and if you prefer streaming service support it also features strong streaming service features, as it handles Napster®, Spotify® and also vTuner®. All streaming sources can be improved not only by using High-resolution Music Enhancer, but also through it's class leading DAC's inside the CX-A5100.
Video processing is not left at the sidelines either, with 4K Ultra HD Pass-through and Upscaling all standard features. The new CX-A5100 boasts 4K60p 4:4:4 Pass through, a plethora of high definition connectivity with multiple HDMI inputs and outputs (8 in/2 out). As you would expect for a class leading product it also has advanced HD signal processing with support for HDCP2.2 (7 in/2 out) with the usual and now almost complimentary support for 3D and Audio Return Channel (ARC) as well.
The CX-A5100 like it's higher end AVENTAGE counterparts also has multiroom video capability too - as the CX-A5100 has the ability to 'matrix' HDMI to another zone (assignable). This means that not only does this unit cater impressively for a premium home cinema room - it also caters for an additonal zone as well, meaning that this unit can be at the heart of all your day to day AV enjoyment. This multiroom video ability is now strongly enhanced by Yamaha's brand new and exciting MusicCast streaming audio technology, meaning that the CX-A5100 can be seamlessly integrated with other Yamaha MusicCast products to form an audio streaming ecosystem - enabling the same and different playback within multiple zones.

Kid Wakes Up From Surgery Talking Like The Situation!!! (VIDEO)
I don't know what anesthesia this kid was under, but for some reason he came out of it and talks like someone from the Jersey Shore. Wazzzup, Dizzy, and YO are the main words spoken during the video. I guess to fix his arm they put him under for a bit, and of course dad is there with the camera phone (that he can't turn sideways...duh!) to get the shot for all the world to see.
So I am sure by now you have seen the original version of this, so since it's been out for almost 3 days, you know there has to be the remix. This one is set to the James Brown hit 'I Feel Good.' I think it's even better than the original.

Here are a few suggestions about the Swine Flu.
These suggestions should be a part of our every day life, but some of us do slack on these.
This is a time when we cannot slack on these safety ideas.
The first one is most vital. If you begin to feel "fluish" in any way, and have a fever, please go to see your Doctor and get tested. Do not wait, thinking that you can simply take some acetaminophen and keep a fever down. We can do this when we do not feel well, in normal situations, but not with this.
Use anti-bacterial soaps and dish washing liquids. Do not rub your eyes, mouth or face with your hands. Carry hand wash liquid with you when you go out anywhere, especially after or during shopping at the grocery store and using the shopping carts, and handling money. Money has traveled a lot further than we have.
Always wash your hands after going to the restroom, before touching food, putting away clean dishes, and things like that.
If you have to sneeze, please sneeze into a tissue and the same for coughing.
Try to deal with stress better, keeping it lower, and rest as much as possible. This will help your immune system remain stronger.
Eat healthier. Take your vitamin C.
I went and bought the Halls Vitamin C (candies I call them) and have been eating some of them today. Orange juice is a great source of vitamin C. I buy the Sunny Delight, as it does cost less, but it has Vitamin C in it, and it tastes great!
Some say that if you see someone who seems to be sick, keep your distance from them. If my guess is correct, that will not prevent one of us from catching this Swine Flu. I believe that it is airborne.
I am nervous about this, as I am sure most of the world is nervous about this. My heart goes out to the families who have already lost loved ones because of this and I pray for all of us during these times. Yes, this too shall pass, but it can be scary for a lot of us. I know that the news says that they want us to continue with our lives as we have been, but that will not be easy for most of the general public. Of course, people are afraid. Nobody wants to get sick, let alone die from this. We will make it through this, sticking together and keeping the faith in God.
This is a serious matter. People cannot wait to get seen by a Doctor if they do not feel well. And there is great news! They have an anti-viral ready to help any of us with, so, please, do not wait if you believe that you may be sick. Yes, I know. What if it isn't that flu and is just a cold? I would be embarrassed to go to the Doctor's office or the hospital and find out that I only had a cold. What if it isn't? What if it is that flu? Do we really want to take that chance? I hope that people will get seen and take care of themselves. That is one way that we can keep this from spreading to others.
I go to college, and there are people there coughing, sneezing, etc. I am going to go and get tested just to be safe. I hate needles, too, but I would rather have a few moments of suffering than a week's worth or "worse".
My prayers are with you all!

At the opening of the bi-annual conference of the International Society for Informetrics and Scientometrics (ISSI) in Vienna on July 16, Susanne Weigelin-Schwiedrzik, the Vice Rector of the University of Vienna called upon the participants to reorient the field of scientometrics in order to better meet the need for research performance data. She explained that the Austrian universities nowadays are obliged by law to base all their decision regarding promotion, personnel, research funding and allocation of research funds to departments on formal external evaluation reports. "You are hosted by one of the oldest universities in Europe, it was founded in 1365. In the last couple of years, this prestigious institute has been reorganized using your scientometric data. This puts a tremendous responsibility on your field. You are no longer in the Kindergarten stage. Without your data, we cannot take decisions. We use your data to allocate research funds. We have to think twice before using your data. But you have the responsibility to realize your role in a more fundamental way. You also have to address the criticism of scientometric data. And what they represent."
Weigelin's passionate call for a more reflexive and critical type of scientometrics is motivated by the strong shift in Austrian university policy with respect to human resource management and research funding. In the past, the system was basically a closed shop with many university staff members staying within their original university. The system was not very open to exchanges among universities, let alone international exchange. Nowadays, the university managers need to explicitly base their decisions on external evaluations, in order to make clear that their decisions meet international quality standards. As a consequence, the systems of control at Austrian universities have exploded. To support this decision making machinery, the University of Vienna has created a specific quality management department and a bibliometric department. The university has an annual budget 380 million Euro and needs to meet annual targets that are included in target agreements with the government.
On the second day of the ISSI conference, Weigelin repeated her plea in a plenary session on the merits of altmetrics. After a couple of presentations by Elsevier and Mendeley researchers, she said she was "not impressed". "I do not see how altmetrics, such as download and usage data, can help solve our problem. We need to take decisions on the basis of data on impact. We look at published articles and at Impact Factors. As a researcher, I know that this is incorrect since these indicators do not directly reflect quality. But as a manager, I do not know what to do else. We are supposed to simplify the world of science. That is why we rely on your data and on the misconception that impact is equal to quality. I do not see a solution in altmetrics." She told the audience, which was listening intently, that she has a constant flow of evaluation reports and the average quality of these reports is declining. "And I must say that a fair amount of the reports that are pretty useless are based on scientometric data." Nowadays, Weigelin is no longer accepting recommendations for promotion of scientific staff that are only mentioning bibliometric performance measures without a substantive interpretation of what the staff member is actually contributing to her scientific field.
In other words, at the opening of this important scientometric conference, the leadership of the University of Vienna has formulated a clear mission for the field of scientometrics. The task is to be more critical with respect to the interpretation of indicators and to develop new forms of strategically relevant statistical information. This mission resonates strongly with the new research program we have developed at CWTS. Happily, the resonance among the participants of the conference was strong as well. The program of the conference shows many presentations and discussions that promise to at least contribute, albeit sometimes in a modest way, to solving Weigelin's problems. It seems therefore clear that many scientometricians are eager to meet the challenge and indeed develop a new type of scientometrics for the 21st century.

'twill soon be past.
Only what's done for Christ will last."
That poem must have been really popular when I was growing up because I remember reading it numerous places, like wall hangings, towels, etc. Jesus marketing has been around a long time!
But it's a great poem to think about. We only have one life. It's only ours and only we can decide what we're going to do with it. But by ourselves, any traces of us will be gone before we turn to dust.
I think it's interesting that I haven't really thought about making my life count until I was on the other side of my life's halfway mark. Until then, I was busy living and surviving and existing in the moment. That's not bad. I think it's good because savoring the moment can become a habit.
If we're not living for Christ, we will never outlive our life. It truly won't matter how big or small my house was, if I served crystal or paper, if my house was clean or cluttered or if I had great bling.
Our investment in other people's lives is the only thing that will outlive us. Experiencing the love of God, the cleansing of salvation, the sorrow of regrets, the joy of second chances, gives us the privilege of helping others experience those same things. Changed lives will outlive our lives.
The wonderful man who led me to the Lord and was my spiritual father, Bill, will probably die before I die. But he will live on whenever I do something in the name of Christ. Kevin's grandmother died a few years ago, but she lives on whenever I have people in my home because she taught me how to have an open home and open heart. Because of people who showed me Christ's love and character, I was able to love my children differently than before. Because of Christ, Kevin and I have a marriage that will last our whole life. Because of Christ, our children are raising their children differently. Not because of our house or our car or our income or even our good intentions - because of Christ.
I truly believe that the only way we outlive our life is by pouring it into others.

Last week our friend and collegue Fernando Soler from real estate called and asked for our assistance in removing a bee colony that had been established in a new home in the posh "Arrecife" neighborhood of the PUNTACANA Resort & Club.
A group of visiting students from Virginia Tech joined the Ecological Foundation and resident apiculturist, "El Rubio" in removing the colony and transplanting it to the Foundation headquarters.
The bee removal team arrives.
El Rubio removes the decorative ceiling to reach the colony. The Ecological Foundation doesn't do carpentry but we do renovations.
Don't try this at home! El Rubio is an experienced apiculturist with more than 15 years working with bees. He is looking for the queen bee.
Pupilo works for the Ecological Foundation on the apiary project. He is learning the art of apiculture directly from El Rubio.
When the bees realize the queen has moved, they will gradually follow the queen and migrate to the new colony.
El Rubio gives the bees a hand in their move.
The colony has been successfully removed from the house, the residents are now bee-free. The Foundation will offer them one liter of free honey, but after that they have to pay like everyone else!
The colony has been successfully removed from the house, the residents are now bee-free. The Foundation will offer them one liter of free honey, but after that they have to pay like everyone else!
El Rubio moves the new colony to the Ecological Foundation apiary. The Foundation has been operating the apiary for over a year, using these "pests" to produce a delicious product: pure honey.
Once a month we carefully extract the honey from our colonies and bottle it for sale. We don't add any additives, chemicals, or colorants, our honey is 100% pure from the local forests of Punta Cana.
Visitors can buy Punta Cana Forest Honey at the Ecological Foundation from 8AM - 4PM or at our Farmer's Market in PUNTACANA Village every Saturday beginning at 9AM. All net proceeds benefit the Ecological Foundation's environmental initiatives. You can also schedule a visit to our apiary.

Symposium: "Catholic Social Thought and the American Regime"
The Catholic Social Science Review Vol. VI (2001)
Gary D. Glenn, Northern Illinois University
Carson Holloway, Concord College
Leon Holmes, Williams & Anderson, LLP
Kimberly Shankman, Ripon College
John Stack, Northern Illinois University
This symposium examines the issue of how well Catholic social thought fits with the underlying principles and philosophy of the American regime. The contributors to the symposium take different views of this issue. On one hand, Carson Holloway argues that Catholic social thought is at odds with certain aspects of the regime. On the other hand, Kimberly Shankman argues that a properly understood natural law teaching is essential to a sound American constitutionalism. These positions are subjected to careful scrutiny by contributors Leon Holmes and John Stack.
- Gary D. Glenn: Introduction
- Carson Holloway: Rerum Novarum and the Tenth Federalist: Roman Catholicism and American Liberalism on the Politics of Class:
Is man fundamentally a moral and religious being, as Pope Leo XIII insists in Rerum Novarum? Or, is man a being fundamentally driven by a desire for material gain, as is asserted by Thomas Hobbes and James Madison? This article argues that Leo's view of humanity is the more accurate one, and that implies problems for the underlying ideas of the American regime. Rather than seeing religion as too weak to restrain man's desire for gain, as does Madison (and the American Republic), Leo understood that religion can be a powerful force for drawing society to a high level of moral rectitude.
- Leon Holmes : Comment on Holloway:
Dr. Holloway invites us, as American citizens, to examine our own regime in the light of Catholic teaching. He asks us to begin the inquiry with a comparison of Rerum Novarum with the Tenth Federalist because both are foundational for their respective traditions; and he concludes that the two are "starkly incompatible."
- Kimberly Shankman: "The Wages (and Hours) of Sin: Rerum Novarum, Lochner v. New York, and Natural Law Constitutionalism":
Beginning with an examination of the Supreme Court's decision in the case of Lochner v. New York, this article examines the necessity of natural law jurisprudence for a proper sort of constitutional interpretation. Natural law jurisprudence, properly understood and applied, would not be a cover for judges to read their own preferences into the Constitution.
- John Stack: Commentary on "Catholic Social Thought and the American Regime":
Holloway and Shankman ask the right questions in trying to figure out whether and to the extent to which Catholic social thought is compatible with the American regime. By directing our attention to fundamental disagreements between the Church and modern political philosophers such as Hobbes and Locke, Holloway and Shankman render a great service. In protraying Madison as overly Hobbesian, though, Holloway implies that the tension between Catholic social thought and the Federalist is more pronounced than it actually is. And in endorsing a common law approach to judging, Shankman ignores the serious reservcations against such an approach voiced by Madison, other Founders and case law.
