In some places the calendar tells us what season it is and in others the weather keeps us informed of the change. No matter where you live there is something that happens as summer fades into fall. The days get shorter and the weather turns cold. Children filter back into school and in a moment of clarity you feel the seasons change. Soon the holiday will be upon you. Taking stock of what you have ahead of you, this list of important autumn and winter holidays is designed to spark your imagination.
Recognizing which days are holidays is the first thing you should discover if you plan on staying ahead of the holiday crush this year. The following autumn and winter holidays come from a nationally recognized list of federal holidays which mark our celebrations on the calendar each year.
Labor Day is held on the first Monday of September in the United States. We honor the hardworking American man and woman with civic celebrations and parades. Vacationing during the Labor Day weekend is also one way to take advantage of this long weekend holiday. Labor Day is recognized as the last weekend of summer and many of us make sure to celebrate this day with some fun. Being at the edge of summer vacation for most students, Labor Day weekend can be the last party weekend before school starts or the first day off for public and private school students because of a holiday. Labor Day kicks of the holiday season each year and as the holidays roll by they come faster with fewer days in between.
Columbus Day falls on the second Monday of October and for school aged kids this is another free day from school. It is important to recognize the adventurous figure who is Christopher Columbus. He discovered America on October 12th, 1492. This holiday is marked federally with public schools and state offices closed. Civic events held in honor of Columbus Day traditionally center around parades and church services.
Halloween is on October 31st. This holiday is one is for the kids even if the adults want to play too. Halloween costume parties are held the weekend before and the weekend of Halloween. Trick or treating occurs on the Halloween night and neighborhoods can become filled with young goblins once the sun goes down. Halloween is the first major holiday of the autumn and winter season. Traditional parties include Halloween Costumes, candy, gags, gifts, ornaments, masks, candles, flame, smoke, witches, goblins, ghouls, outfits, apples, candy corn, lighting, theatre and audio tracks.
Election Day is held on November 2nd. While not a holiday we celebrate, this important date can be marked as an important date for change in America. This day is not considered a holiday but it is a day of movement for most Americans. Going to work and voting has become one of the most shared national events across America. While not a holiday, November 2nd has been one of two days where people will do the same thing at the same time. Only Christmas morning will see more people participating in the same activity as Election Day.
Veteran's Day falls on November 11th and represents the signing of the armistice treaty ending World War I and recognizes the large number of veterans that survived the war and deserving of a national honor for all those who sacrificed their lives to improve the American dream. Veteran's Day will be celebrated with wreaths of flowers on the tombs of unknown soldiers all across America. Church services and family dinners are all representative of this holiday observance.
November 25th is Thanksgiving Day. Thanksgiving is to Christmas what Deviled Eggs is to turkey; it the appetizer to the entrée. You really can't have one without the other. Thanksgiving Day is a celebration of all the blessings received throughout the year. Described as a harvest feast, this meal is more about the seasons changing than it 9is about harvest. Thanksgiving Day is a day to take stock and have gratitude for everything you have. Families should recognize where things could be better to promote a healthy growth for the upcoming year. Thanksgiving represents big football games, meals, shopping, and family.
Christmas Eve is the night of December 24th. While not Christmas, many families will travel to see their friends who will not be able to be visited the next day. So many families open presents on Christmas Eve that it could be said that Christmas Eve and Christmas morning split the present opening duties. Christmas Eve ends with church services for the Roman Catholics who attend Midnight Mass. Christmas Eve also include preparing goodies for Santa.
Christmas Day is December 25th. Opening presents in the morning turns into lunch with extended family and then dinner with the immediate family members who share so much of themselves with you. Christmas is the celebration of Christ's arrival and tribulations and eventual resurrection to atone for man's sins. Christmas will fill the whole day from morning until night. Presents, food, family and fun can be expected. Children wait all year for Christmas and families should always emphasize the importance of interacting through this major holiday with the children you love.
New Year's Eve falls on December 31st. This is an evening of celebration for the retreating old year and the ringing in of a new year. New Year's Eve partiers always plan on attending corporate and community gatherings that features the finest foods, beverages and entertainment. When it's twelve o'clock you can watch the ball drop in Times Square, kiss your lady, toast and enjoy the turning of another year to look forward to.
Autumn and winter holidays are special because they represent change and thanksgiving. These cold-weather holidays were created by our ancestors as a way to honor, celebrate, and participate in traditional ceremonies. Native people made it trough the longest nights of winter by celebrating symbolic dates. The holidays we cherish most have histories that go back to when the communities that shared these special events were the communities that made it through winter with few hardships. As the weather changed from summer fun to winter, these holidays inject a special reason to celebrate.

On Tuesday I got on Hola for about five minutes. Such a short ride and yet we made a significant step forward... "forward" being the operative word. I introduced Hola to the crop before getting on to make sure she wasn't started by it's appearance. Ha! To Hola, that stick meant absolutely nothing except for maybe the mild amusement of having something new to smell. I wiggled it around some and then scratched her body with it but she really could care less. I say this because I really don't think that the crop was what made a difference when I got on as she didn't know what it could do and she didn't care that I had it in my hand (had no association with it). So I got on her and asked her to walk on. And she WALKED ON. Hola has been walking but she has lacked forward motion because she constantly feels like she is still trying to figure out how to balance my weight, she just doesn't stride out. But from the minute she stepped away from the step stool she really just moved out like I wasn't even up on her back. I did disengaged her hip to stop first right then left and guided her left and right a time or two and then had her walk out for maybe a minute more. I did tap the saddle gently with the crop a few times when I asked her to go forward again but more to just get her used to the idea of that crop. My goal for the day had been met in the first minute of the ride so I decided to quit and drop her saddle off in the middle of the arena.
On Thursday I accidently got Hola a little rattled before getting on. I was waiting for a friend to come out to the barn so that I could ride (I still am not comfortable getting on when no one is outside) so I started up with Monster but I guess I was in a hurry and I didn't give her enough time to get used the idea before winging under the lead. That horse jumped from spot to another, about ten feet away, in the blink of an eye. "Why am I getting on this creature?", I thought. But before I could get her in a more relaxed state of mind my friend J came out and I needed to get started (I told him I needed ten minutes of his time, max). So I hop on. And Hola walks off with more energy than even the day before. But she dropped her head a little and kind of said "Okay, this I am cool with". I had set up some cones to give me something to focus on in my turns which really helped. She guides really lightly (even though she stalls sometimes mid turn). About three minutes in to my ride another man (a friends husband) came out to the barn. His presence, combined with that of the young man watching me gave me this sudden surge of bravado! Weaving between some pylons didnt seem too impressive. I needed to show these boys that I had some cojones! So I thought... let's see if I can push Hola up to a trot. So I did!.... for about a stride and half. Hola was really uncertain. She seemed to say "Ah... hell no! I cant trot with your fat ass up there!" but she tried so I let her quit. I asked again and she went three strides before quitting. She was a little pissy about it but she tried and didn't throw in any monkey business so I decided to quit while I was ahead.
Not bad. Not bad at all for our third ride back!

There are a vast number of reasons for home foreclosures in Florida. No matter what caused your financial difficulty and inability to pay your mortgage, you should take aggressive action with the help of our legal team. Whether you are expecting foreclosure actions or you are already in the midst of this legal action, you can trust our Fort Lauderdale foreclosure attorneys to remain at your side.
Our firm is prepared to help you navigate the foreclosure case if you are at risk of losing your home due to foreclosure. Contact our foreclosure lawyers who serve Fort Lauderdale and South Florida clients. We can work hard to protect your home, which is likely your biggest investment. During a free case evaluation, we can assess all available options that could serve as possible defenses for your case. In addition, we can help you through the defense process to maximize your chance of obtaining a successful outcome.
Contact us today to receive your free case evaluation!
Florida is a judicial foreclosure state which means that foreclosures are required to go through court. You will have the right to present objections to the foreclosure to a judge who can review your case. There are specific reasons that you may be able to delay or stop foreclosure.
Defenses to foreclosure can be pursued in the following situations:
- If the foreclosing party brought the foreclosure based on false information
- If the foreclosing party did not follow state procedural requirements
- If the foreclosing party is not legally entitled to bring a foreclosure action
- If the person who signs the affidavits did not personally have knowledge of the information within the documents
- If the notary public who attests to the validity of a signature did not follow specific regulations
- If Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems is involved in the chain of title and the state's recording or assignment laws were violated
- If the original lender engaged in unfair lending practice through fraudulent behavior
We take cases to trial and fight to win. Loan Lawyers has taken over 100 cases to trial and we fight to win for our clients! The bank knows that when Loan Lawyers takes a case they are in for a fight, and even if the cases don't make it to trial, by aggressively litigating our clients' cases, we gained tremendous bargaining power against the banks resulting in over $20 million in principal reductions for our clients. Additionally, by hiring a law firm that fights to win and takes the bank to task making them prove every element of their case, you may be able to live in your house for years without paying your mortgage, continue renting out your investment property, or have your foreclosure completely thrown out of court.
We are local South Florida attorneys. Many foreclosure defense attorneys are part of national or state wide conglomerates that have a local 'satellite' office in South Florida, meaning when you want to reach them or have a face to face meeting with the lawyer, you're often given the run around. When you call Loan Lawyers for a free consultation, you will meet with an actual attorney that will sit with you and go over your case as well as help you understand the unique approach we will take to help fight for your rights based on your individual needs. We are here to help and are personally available for our clients. At Loan Lawyers, we treat our clients' homes as if they were our own families.
Our results speak for themselves. We have saved thousands of homes in the South Florida community and recovered millions of dollars for our clients as a result of bank fraud and negligence.
All we do is fight for the rights of homeowners and consumers. Our practice is limited to helping consumers and homeowners in debt. We often employ a multitude of unique legal strategies alongside of foreclosure defense to maximize our clients' results. Because all we do is handle debt-related issues, we are in a unique position to make sure that we put our clients' needs first and give them the right legal solution for their foreclosure situation.
Because a good night's sleep is priceless. Being served with a foreclosure lawsuit is one of the most stressful things that a homeowner can face. People have worked hard to be able to purchase their homes and when falling into financial hardship, they need someone they can turn to and trust.
When Loan Lawyers takes on a case, we make sure that a homeowner's worst nightmare will never happen. People fear that one day they will come home and their locks will be changed and they will be thrown out of their homes, Loan Lawyers works to prevent such a thing from happening to any of our clients, and with the thousands of South Florida homeowners that we have helped, we are proud to say that it never has.
At Loan Lawyers we keep our clients abreast of every step of the foreclosure process and even in the unlikely event that we cannot beat the bank at trial or get our clients into a loan modification that they can afford, we are here to help strategize and guide them by providing other legal options that may be able to save their home or in the alternative assist with financial assistance and the time they need to consider relocation alternatives.

There are many steps to adjusting a spring that closes a door. These steps are slightly different for springs depending on whether they require hex keys or tension levers.
Close the door and secure it before attempting to adjust the spring. If the door has a tension pin inserted into the hinge's side, use needle nose pliers to pull it from the hinge. If the hinge has an opening at the top, insert a 5/32-inch hex key into that opening. If it has a horizontal slot on the hinge's side, insert the tension lever into the opening on the far right of that slot. If using a hex key, rotate it clockwise. If using a tension lever, move it to the left. This will expose the next tension hole in the hinge's side.
Next, insert the tension pin into the hinge's exposed hole without pushing it all the way inside. Finally, remove the hex key or tension lever and check the door. If it is not closing with the amount of force desired, put the hex key or tension lever back into the hinge. Remove the tension pin and expose the next hole by rotating the hinge. Then, re-insert the pin and test the door until satisfied.

Smile Makeovers are procedures that are based upon every individual's different needs. Having a confident smile makes you feel fantastic. Whether you are at a casual social event or at gala, often enough, your smile can detract whenever posing for photographs or meeting people for the first time.
Each one of our plans is suited for your unique situation. There isn't just one fix that works for everyone. What's important is that you have a dentist who is aware of what works best not only for yourself, but also for your mouths physiology.
Healthy teeth are determined by good color, shape, and alignment. If you feel that your teeth are in need of these changes, then porcelain veneers are the best option for you.
In the field of dentistry, a veneer is a thin layer of super strong porcelain that is set in place of your own natural tooth enamel. After being bonded to your teeth, veneers can create natural looking, beautiful smiles that don't stain like your natural enamel does.
A dental crown is a covering that fits over a tooth that is decayed, damaged or unattractive. Dental Crowns may also replace a tooth thoroughly as part of dental bridgework.
The dental crown is different than a veneer in that it actually doesn't need the majority of the tooth's structure to stay on. Dental crowns are almost indistinguishable from natural teeth. They are designed to even match the current coloring of your teeth as well.

Playa de la Teresitas#
This beach here, seen from Punto de las Organos, is the only white sand beach in Tenerife. It is north of the village of San Andrés San Andrés, Tenerife .
Originally the beach consisted of mostly rocks and a small strip of black sand. It was divided into three distinct parts that had different names: Tras la Arena which was the original, Los Moros in the middle, and finally the area bounded by the ravine of Las Teresas. In 1973, 270,000 tons of white sand were shipped from Spanish Sahara (now Western Sahara, part of the Sahara Desert) to create an artificial beach of white sand.
Two piers and a kilometer long breakwater located 150 meters from the beach were constructed to prevent waves from carrying the sand out to the sea. In 1998 another 2,800 tonnes sand from Sahara were added to replenish the sand lost since its establishment.

Hi to all, I'm new here and I start immediately with my Project Log about Tau Empire:<br>I must say that part of models that you can find here are not official miniatures, they are sculpted and scratchbuilt by me, reasons are multiple, main reason is the exaggerated price of some models, so, being passionate on sculpting I've decided to do my line of miniatures!!!
It all has started with my first scratchbuilt battlesuit, its name is XV99 Coridon, a Riptide sized battlesuit.
Skeleton of the suit come from some pieces of lego Bionicle, while the external case is made with plasticard, hard paper card and green stuff.
I've received lots of comments and critiques in various communities, now XV99 it's no longer alive but I've continued to improve my sculpting skills.
My Tau project concerns about a Cadre, sent on a remote desert planetoid called Ar'Keron, became an indipendent series of colonies, their background is developing, as their models.
This is my Cadre Commander, his name is Koi'Par'Ka, on his battlesuit XV78 Vulcan. It's a close combat battlesuit, bigger than a Broadside:
This battlesuit is made with plasticard and a mixture of green stuff and milliput terracotta, thus exploiting hardness of milliput and workability of green stuff. In this model only the shield generator is GW, his sword is made with transparent plastic with graven hexagons made with a cutter.
Now is the turn of XV77 Energhya, another battlesuit similar to XV78, heavy armoured, realized in the same way of the others:
And this is the bodyguard unit, XV7, smaller than XV77 and XV78, I have two of these:
Talking about troops:
As Firewarriors I didn't used GW models, I've decided to realize troops suitable for desert scenarios. My models come from Greatcoat Troopers from Wargame Factory, then I've sculpted their armour with a mixture of green stuff and milliput black, their helmet are GW bits, the same for my Fireblade:
All those models are painted with weathering technique, this for emphasizing their conditions and to make them more realistic.
This is part of my work, during next days I'm going to post other pics of other models and miniatures!
If you have questions, critiques or tips or if you want other pics with more details, you are welcome!

PSNI seize gun and ammunition in dissident republican probe
Police investigating dissident republican activity seized a gun and ammunition as they swooped on two houses yesterday morning.
Detectives from PSNI Serious Crime Branch searched a property on Hamill Street in Belfast and one at Foxes Glen in Dunmurry.
Army bomb disposal experts, along with forensic teams and canine units, remained at the property in Foxes Glen well into the afternoon. A line of forensic officers was seen combing through the back garden.
A gun and ammunition were seized at the house.
Detective Inspector Stuart Griffin said: "A number of items have been recovered from two properties and will be taken for further examination. Two men aged 37 and 48, and a woman aged 35 have been arrested and taken to the Serious Crime Suite at Musgrave PSNI station for questioning."
The Dunmurry search took place less than a mile from Glenwood Court where Joe Reilly (43) was shot dead last Thursday.
Ulster Unionist MLA Doug Beattie paid tribute to the PSNI's professionalism and courage.
He said: "It's absolutely clear that police are in a fight against dissident republicanism.
"I think it's alarming but we must support the police. These people have no place in our society and I congratulate the police for the way they go about their business."
Meanwhile, police officers searched a property in the Glenwood View area of west Belfast last night. This operation is believed to have been in relation to the murder of Mr Reilly.

I was watching my guilty pleasure Teen Mom this week, and all people have done was complain about…Gary. All because of his weight. I'm a parent myself to an orange Persian Tabby, but he's one of the best parents out there on the show and one of the FEW Dads of the series to be fully committed to his child since day one. The poor guy has been beaten and badmouthed by the mother of his child Amber. His actions DID seem irresponsible this week, however, I don't blame him and I understand why he did what he did. That doesn't make it right, but he's gone down to his lowest point where he's depressed and wanted so badly to make it work for his precious daughter Leah. All the awful comments he received on his parenting stems back down to his weight. It's really sad how a guy has been there for his daughter and loves his daughter more than anything in the whole world gets talked down to because of his weight. Weight has nothing to do with parenting. It's really sad how many people make fun of him, but were you NOT watching the same show? Did you not see him pay all the bills work and go to school full time? Obviously not. He even said on his Biggest Loser audition about Leah being "the best thing that's ever happened to me." What deadbeat says that? Have a heart and give the poor guy a break.
He's really an amazing guy.

The important thing to remember in "Life" is not that it be conquered but that it be LIVED. For each will conquer only that which one finds worthy of his attention. If it be a mountain which is climbed and "conquered" one must see WHY the mountain climb was of importance. To "conquer" just to gain a high in ego-tripping is less than worthy in every instant--to succeed in a goal is more than worthy in EVERY instant if that goal be of God in opportunity taken.
Your life can be imitated but only YOU can live it. May you always live in such a way that your heart sings with pleasure as it reviews the records of the journey. Look at each thing that records of the journey. Look at each thing that annoys you and see what about it caused negative response and turn it about. This is a revolution against negativity--do something to cause the negative to be a responsive and positive eventuality, i.e., a loud noise awakens you an hour earlier than you would arise--get up anyway. Don't worry and fret over the "lost" sleep--do something worthy of your extra awake time--perhaps talk with God for a while and see how wondrous it makes the day. Today, the 8th of August is actually Esu Emmanuel's ("Jesus") Birthday.
The 25th of December is Issac Newton's Birthday along with being a Jewish holiday. Say a Happy Birthday to our gentle memory of a man from Galilee who set EXAMPLE. No MAN must be perfect but he must LIVE in truth and honesty of integrity or he becomes unworthy of leadership example.
Christ is a "state-of-being" and is NOT the name of any MAN. A MAN can be as Christ in intent--but the label has no "name" qualifications OR definition in actuality. You can act in a Christly manner and it is called GOODNESS, or you can act in an unChristly manner and it is called badness--but you cannot BE Christ--for there is only definition, not name, to be found in the term. Christians must represent the state of being in Goodness or they are NOT CHRISTIANS! Christian has become the act of following some MAN and MAN'S conjured doctrines--but it is a misspeak for, like "beautiful", the word "christian" is but an adjective--"that which modifies a noun". In other words, "christian" is only a descriptive word that describes the status of a person or thing, i.e., "The flower is beautiful" or "The Man is (c)hristian". So you see, all goodly people are "christians" by whatever religion they may practice--save Satanism, and therein is NO GOODNESS and the servants of the evil pranksters are called witches and warlocks. The very intent of Satanism is to practice evil--hopefully without being caught by those practicing christianism.
Christianism and Satanism are "good" and "evil" and exist at opposite ends of all that falls between. Further, you take perfectly good descriptive visual terms and make them into hate speeches. For instance, white simply represents "light" because you have no term for the brilliant transparent force so you term it "white" for it holds all colors of the spectrum and presents as radiance which offers ability to visualize. Black is the mere absence of all colors and represents the "void" or lack of "light". So it can be easily a reference adjective to use the term "black" or "white" as in "That was very white of you to give me help" or "I had a very black thought this morning". But no, you have to go forth and take really descriptive terms and turn them against another as you reference races, creeds, and colors. Number one, for instance, no Black man is black--even in color! At best a "Black man" is but darker than the pale color of a Caucasian. A Caucasian is not "white"; he is but pale with shaded pinks and blues. Do you see what you allow to happen to your words as you accept meanings which HAVE NO MEANING IN REALITY? If you fail to get your language terminology correctly identified explicitly, you cannot accurately communicate in any way whatsoever.
When you fight over creed, color or race--YOU FIGHT ONLY WITH SELF! Ponder it. And by the way--what adjective will be recognized before your name? Welcome back Esu Emmanuel! You are as out of place as a christian brother as you were two thousand years ago in this place of experience. Man does not seem to realize that this expression is about "living" and "choices" and not about adjectives which spout terms which hold no meaning of TRUTH. YOU are energy and light--you are only expressed in a form that serves your manifestation best. You had better be attending the electrical energy of YOUR SPIRIT WHICH IS YOU AND ATTEND LESS THAT HUNK OF STUFF YOU WORSHIP, CALLED BODY. So be it.

All of us have some sort of aspirations for our Creative Writing careers. Success is different for each of us. While we may realize that triumph does not come about merely by well wishing, too many times we act as if it will. True victory in life, regardless of how we define it, will only come about by focus and dedication.
Like A Dog On A Bone
Have you ever seen a dog chew on a bone? He knows it'll be a long and difficult process, but I have never seen focus in my life more than a dog on a bone. When I see that a dog has a bone, nothing can distract him from his task at hand. Even time does not weary him. You cannot take it from him, and after trying once, you'll know not to try again. Not only will the dog win that tug-of-war, you could receive a war wound from this. You don't even want to pet a dog when he's working over a bone.
If we are going to find success in life, we needed to be as focused as a dog on a bone. Some people strive for success, but give up when the meticulousness of achievement wears down on them, but not a dog. Certain folk desire achievement, but strangely will let others take it from them. They don't have the dog on a bone mentality. And just like a dog doesn't like to be petted when he as a bone, we need to be weary of friends when it comes to our accomplishments. Our loved ones can be the one thing that can derail our victory train, and only if we let them. We don't want to hurt our loved ones, and yet we will allow them to hurt us by blocking us from achieving ultimate victory in life.
Like A Gazelle Being Hunted
Sometimes you can define something by looking at its opposite. Success is not failing. Life is a pass/fail exam. So to do the things that keep you from failing will be in line with carrying out what you need for success. This is important because some people feel as if they can still fall just short of their aspirations and still be considered successful. That's like saying you can strike out in baseball but think of it as a home run because you were close. If you strike out, you are out. No one in archery misses he target and yells, "Bulls eye!"
From the Bible, the sixth chapter from the book of Proverbs deals with the need to be industrious and productive. In the fifth verse, Solomon says, "Deliver yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter." For a gazelle, success is not getting killed. Failure is not acceptable. Close enough and almost there still leave you as a trophy head on someone's wall and steak dinners for the family. Run toward success, but also run away from failure. Run as if failure cannot be acceptable. Succeed or die! This is the only path to victory.
Going To The Mattresses
We have all heard the phrase "go to the mat," especially when it is someone telling us how committed they are to some goal or project. They are willing to "go to the mat," in other words, do what ever it takes to accomplish what they want. The phrase has grown threadbare and means little today, but its origins should breathe new life into the power of this claim.
It comes from the 1972 movie, "The Godfather," and actually the phrase is "go to the mattresses." Clemenza tells Pauly to see a guy downtown about picking up a bunch of mattresses (about 25 of them) because "Sonny is ready to go to the mattresses over this thing." To go to the mattresses is gangster slang from this time meaning to go to all out war with a rival gang. These mobsters would have several rooms with nothing but mattresses covering the floor. These were for the soldiers in this makeshift barracks of sorts. If you are at war with another gangster, you are either on the street to kill someone or sleeping.
If success for us is just a little "it would be nice to" kind of fantasy, we will not succeed. Achieving our goals or not is the difference between eating and being eaten. It is winning and losing a war. All of these phrases have to do with survival. Human achievement is unique to people of dedication, and we need to keep it. We should all want something we can focus upon. If we have no dreams, no aspirations in this life, if we are not noted for accomplishments, but merely eat and sleep, nothing more, then we might as well be animals since this I how they exist. Dreams make us human and reaching them keeps us truly alive in every sense of the word.

Did Apple Just Tip Its Brand Hand?
There were few surprises when Apple (NAS: AAPL) unveiled the new iPad earlier this week. One of the subtle ones was that Apple opted not to go with a moniker of "iPad 3," "iPad HD," or "iPad LTE", but instead dubbed it, simply, "the new iPad."
Marketing chief Phil Schiller says they made the decision simply "because we don't want to be predictable." The new tablet's name seems like a minor choice, but Schiller is a marketing and branding genius that's been with the company since 1997, so you know he put some thought into it.
Some branding experts told the WSJ that the name "[communicates] that they are going backwards." Those same experts and other attendees of the iPad event also called the move "confusing."
If you think about it, though, this simplified branding strategy makes sense and is likely here to stay. Resorting to numbering products was a relatively new phenomenon for Apple and started with the iPhone 4 in 2010, which was followed by tacking on an "S" to the updated version last year.
The iPad 2 was the only other iDevice that carried a numerical description, and is also largely why everyone was expecting an "iPad 3." Apple also had used 3G in the second iPhone, for its feature of 3G connectivity, so this new iPad could conceivably have been called "the iPad LTE." Using features and numbers is arguably more confusing, especially as the years go on.
Look at Apple's naming progression so far for the iPhone and iPad:
|iPhone 3G
|iPad 2
|iPhone 3GS
|(New) iPad
|iPhone 4
|iPhone 4S
The "new" will inevitably be dropped to just leave "iPad," and despite Schiller's aversion to predictability we might even see this year's sixth-generation iPhone similarly simplified to just "iPhone" instead of "iPhone LTE" or "iPhone 6."
These are the only two product families in which the market was expecting these naming conventions. The iMac is in its twelfth generation, but it's not "the iMac 12." Simplifying iPhone and iPad branding is more sustainable and clearer in the long run, and everyone will just refer to them by generation as with every other product family. There's a reason why advertisers want to build a brand like Apple's.
Brand Finance, a U.K.-based brand valuation consultancy, just released its figures of well-known tech brands, with Apple jumping three spots to take the lead.
|Brand Rank 2012
|Brand Rank 2011
|Brand Value
|$70.6 billion
|Google (NAS: GOOG)
|$47.5 billion
|Microsoft (NAS: MSFT)
|$45.8 billion
|$39.1 billion
|Amazon.com (NAS: AMZN)
|$26.7 billion
Source: BrandFinance.com.
With Apple's brand value leading by a healthy margin, I think Cupertino probably knows what it's doing.
The iPad has started a revolution, but Apple is hardly the only winner. Some of the winners are hard to see because they're buried deep inside the gadgets. Check out this new special free report on "3 Hidden Winners of the iPhone, iPad, and Android Revolution" that names a handful of companies that provide the crucial components that these gadgets rely on.

Worlds Most Compact 1500 W Integrated Servo Motor
February 10, 2014.
, Denmark
JVL presents a new AC Servo Motor with built-in controller, Nano-PLC and direct AC mains supply with same capacity and length as traditional servo motors.
JVL, the European leader in the development of integrated servo and stepper motor technology, has now again developed a new and unique product in the field of integrated motor control.
JVL's newest additions to their portfolio is a complete, high-capacity MAC motor
with rating of 1500W. The first prototype has been revealed at the German SPS/IPC/Drives 2011 exhibition in November and in 2013 the official launch took place.
New Compact Motor
The MAC motor
sets completely new standards for the performance and size of servo controls.
With a length of only 250mm for a 1500W motor with a torque of 4.78/14.3Nm at 3000rpm, this MAC motor matches the size of traditional servo motors without built-in controllers with flange 130x130mm. This has only been possible through the use of extremely compact motors and the development of electronics and mechanics that utilise the latest technologies and manufacturing methods.
So what about vibrations and temperature? As with the other integrated servo motors in the range (50-4500W), both the motor and all electronic components have been specifically selected to withstand the rigorous demands required by industrial use.
Power Supply and Energy Savings
Powering this motor is easy since it only requires connection of the main voltage of 3x400VAC through the M23 connectors. Control voltage for the encoder and microprocessor circuitry is 24VDC: In an emergency-stop situation, where an approved relay has cut-off the main power, encoder position and other values are maintained by this control voltage.
Furthermore highly effective switching technology is used to ensure low heat generation resulting in appreciable energy savings.
Other Advantages
One of the big advantages of using the integrated MAC motor
s is that you don't need to install a separate servo driver or controller in a control cabinet. This gives you many subsequent advantages: Space savings in your control cabinet, saving of expensive motor and encoder cables, saving time (and money) for cabling, noise is minimized due to internal cabling and also installation errors between driver and motor are eliminated.
In addition, service is much easier, since the motor and controller can be replaced as a single integrated unit. Hence downtime is minimized and production is maximized
About JVL
is recognized as a leader for its development of efficient and compact integrated motors for VAC and VDC. MAC motor series of integrated VAC servo motors (up to 4500W and 13,5kW peak), and the QuickStep integrated stepper motors (up to 25Nm). Both the servo motor and stepper motor series includes the controller, PLC, encoder, AC power supply and bussystem integrated into one compact unit. All industrial ethernet busses like Profinet, EtherCat, Ethernet IP, Modbus TCP, Powerlink etc. are available. Furthermore, traditional modules like
CANopen, DeviceNet, Profibus, Profinet, Nano PLC, RS232/RS485/USB, Process Control can be incorporated.
JVL with more than 20 years of motion control experience enjoys a reputation for the development of highly specialized integrated motors with industrial ethernet and customized improvements. They work together with their customers and representatives to find an economic, yet technically advanced solution to complicated control applications.
JVL's wide selection of quality products for motion control components include: Integrated VAC and VDC Servo motors, Integrated Stepper motors, VAC Servo motor controllers, Motor drivers (Stepper, VAC and VDC), Brakes, Gears, and HMI Modules.

Based on two interviews conducted by Etta-Belle Kitchen in November 1981. The volume contains 317 pages of interview transcript plus an index and appendix. The transcript is copyright 1990 by the U.S. Naval Institute; the restrictions originally placed on the transcript by the interviewee have since been removed.
Few of the Naval Institute's oral history volumes are as specialized as this one. Kaine essentially made a career of service in the Navy's underwater demolition teams (UDTs) and training its sea-air-land (SEAL) teams. After commissioning through the V-7 program in 1942 he took bomb disposal training, then was in the first group trained by Draper Kauffman for underwater demolition. He and his team were assigned to the Seventh Amphibious Force for more than a dozen operations in the Pacific in World War II. After return to civilian life, he was recalled to active duty during the Korean War and subsequently served in several UDTs in the Atlantic, including command of two teams in the 1950s. After service on the staff of Rear Admiral Daniel V. Gallery, Commandant of the 10th Naval District in Puerto Rico, he was involved from 1964 until his retirement in 1970 in the training of UDTs and SEALs. His last duty was as Commander Naval Special Warfare Group Pacific.

In this new collection of Antonio Bizarro menswear for Fall/Winter 2012, the designer takes androgynous looks to new levels by incorporating typically femine details and garments into this diverse range. Skirts, long silhouettes, chunky jewelry, and slouchy modern tailoring all serve as examples of how this label is blurring gender norms that we associate with clothing, while pointed, cowboy-inspired shoes and structured tailoring give this avant-garde range of monochromatics a masculine edge.
Worn by some pretty tough-looking models, who are sporting black makeup smudged onto their faces to give them a down and dirty appearance, the designer only intensifies the comparison between masculine and feminine more. The clothing itself, however, is created in such a way that it doesn't look out of place on the models showcasing it. So if you're looking for a hipper, more rock and roll style next fall, then you should invest in some new pieces from the Antonio Bizarro collection.

Best Minute of Your Day Campaign
July 25, 2017
More than 84 million American adults have prediabetes, but nearly 9 of 10 people don't know they have it. That's why, today, the American Medical Association, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in collaboration with the Ad Council, will launch a new version of the award-winning prediabetes public service campaign. Entitled the "Best Minute of Your Day," the new attention-grabbing video series uses animals from America's favorite viral videos to get more adults to take a one-minute online prediabetes risk test and learn where they stand.
Featuring both English and Spanish creative elements, the initiative aims to reach millions of adults, ages 40 to 60, who may be unaware that they have prediabetes. This includes highlighting testimonials from patients who have participated in an evidenced-based Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) and achieved optimal health outcomes.
You may get questions from patients who have seen the ads and/or taken the online risk assessment. The good news is you and your members can access practical resources by visiting Prevent Diabetes STAT. There, you will learn more about prediabetes as well as screening, testing and referring patients to a nearby National Diabetes Prevention Program.
Since the launch of the campaign last year, more than a million people have visited DoIHavePrediabetes.org, and nearly half a million people have completed the risk test. Additionally, the campaign has garnered both national and international acclaim including a Cannes Lions award for outstanding public relations and the David Ogilvy award for world impact.

The Senate has again dismisses the assignment of Ibrahim Magu as the substantive administrator of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, after the State Security Service, SSS, reaffirmed its position that the chosen one needs respectability to lead the nation's hostile to defilement organization.
Mr. Magu was dismisses on Wednesday, after appearance before the Senate for his affirmation hearing amid which Dino Melaye raised the SSS report dated March 14.
"In the light of the prior, Magu has fizzled the trustworthiness test and will in the end constitute an obligation to the counter defilement remain of the present government," the SSS report, read by Mr. Melaye, expressed.
In spite of the fact that Mr. Magu had offered an explanation as per the general inclination of administrators prior inquiries he was asked, legislators tested his appropriateness given the report against him by the SSS.
Mr. Magu scrutinized the validity of the SSS which he said dispatched two reports on him with changing substance same day.
"What do you say in regards to validity of that organization?" he questioned.
PREMIUM TIMES had in December announced how the SSS had before submitted two opposing reports, one endorsing Mr. Magu's affirmation and the other asking he be rejected.
The Senate had then rejected Mr. Magu's affirmation in light of the report disparaging of him.

Have you ever been guilty of being a "gasoline queen" (or king for our male participants)--of drizzling or even dousing gasoline on an already heated conversation, making it even worse? If you can recall such a time, jot the details down below in the comment section.
In retrospect, and based on what you have learned in this week's study, how could you do things differently the next time a slightly heated conversation is beginning to combust and flare, threatening to set off a big blaze?

Love Dr. DiNicola and his PAs!! I've used him for over 16 years. I have seen other doctors, and Dr. DiNicola always stood above the rest. He's attentive and kind to my kids. He listens well to me and my concerns. I highly recommend you use him for your doctor.5

The rumours surrounding the trailer of Shah Rukh Khan starrer 'Raees' refused to die. According to the latest reports, the trailer of the much awaited flick will now be launched one or two days before the release of 'Dear Zindagi'.
Media reports suggested that King Khan would launch the trailer in a grand event one or two days before the release of 'Dear Zindagi' as he had already planned to attach the trailer of 'Raees' to the prints of Gauri Shinde directorial flick.
Previously it was speculated that the trailer of the much awaited flick would be released on SRK's birthday. But, nothing as such happened. However the first song of the film was launched on the day.
After that, rumours of it getting released with 'Dear Zindagi' started doing rounds.
It was being said that the makers of 'Raees' didn't want the flick's trailer to collide with the four teasers of 'Dear Zindagi'. Thus, now after the release of all four takes, the trailer may get released before November 25.
However, official announcement for the same is yet to come.
Directed by Rahul Dholakia, 'Raees' also features Pakistani actress Mahira Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui alongside SRK. The film is scheduled for January 26 release.
On a related note, 'Dear Zindagi' featuring Alia Bhatt besides SRK will hit the screens on November 25.

The Watt's Wedding
Joe was obviously a bachelor back then. His Kari lived back home in Ohio. He had an efficiency apartment on the other side of town from us... no tv, no computer, no thrills, etc. He would visit us frequently and even watch the house when we were away at times. If we would have had more room, we would have let him live with us. When we first moved there, we had service for 4 as not many more dishes would fit in our small kitchen. We figured we could eat twice without doing the dishes. When Joe came along, I told Keith I needed to get out service for 6. He was a regular for dinner and he seemed to appreciate home made meals. It was nice for us too because it's a little bit easier to cook for 3 than to cook for 2. Anyway, it was nice that Keith had a pal to hang with, especially when I wasn't home.
One time Joe's fiancee came into town with a few of her friends for the weekend. We figured we wouldn't see much of Joe other than to meet Kari. He lit a candle in his tiny bathroom and shortly thereafter they all went out for dinner. As they arrived back at the apartment, the bathroom was on fire!!!! They had forgotten to blow the candle out before they left. It's amazing that they returned when they did. It melted the shower curtain, the shower head, a picture frame, burned up some toilet paper and some towels. They got the fire out, but there was a good bit of damage to be repaired. They all came to our house to shower and sleep for a couple days as the smoke was just too much for them. Funny thing, we not only got to meet Kari, we got to visit with her and provide some accomodations.
I think Joe was sad when we left Kentucky. There are few things we truly miss about being there and Joe is definitely one of those things. I'm so glad that we got to see him this weekend. He seemed delighted that we were there. The wedding was beautiful. The ladies wore lavender summer dresses and carried white daisy bouquets. The bride was glistening in her gown and smiling ear to ear for the entire affair. Her father was one of the ministers and Joe's former pastor also had a part in the ceremony. There was a lovely cake reception in the church basement... and then we motored home for Amanda and John's picnic. I can't wait to have the film developed!
Log Cabin Day
This is Jordan, modeling one of the neat bedroom arrangements in one of the cabin displays at Old Fort Harrod State Park. Kentucky is ripe with history from the Civil War era. While living there, I finally realized WHY Keith is such a history buff and why he is so infactuated with the Civil War. He grew up surrounded by it!

How To Become A Coffee Snob by KWV
The first thing you've gotta do is get yourself a French Press and some good quality coffee beans ground for a french press. The course grind of the french press and the brewing technique used allows for maximum flavor, intensity, aroma, feel, taste, and presentation. Then pour yourself and a friend a nice hot mug of coffee. DO NOT add any cream or sugar during initial tasting. This alters the original taste, feel, and texture.
Smell and Aroma
Our sense of taste is directly influenced by our sense of smell, so when we taste a coffee, we should smell it first. I personally find it helpful to open the bag and gather some of the aroma of the beans before I pour my fresh brewed coffee into the cups. Cup your hand over the mug, then slightly lift up and inhale deeply. What do you notice? Describe the aromas? Some examples of aroma or scent are earthy, spicy, floral, nutty, fruity, and/or citrusy. Keep in mind, one coffee can have one, some, or all of these scents depending on the complexity of the coffee blend, the region it was grown in, and the experience of the taster.
When tasting a coffee it is important to slurp it first. There are two reasons for this. 1) It is HOT! You could burn your tongue. If your taste buds are burnt, your coffee tasting experience is contaminated... ruined... done! 2) It aerates the coffee as it enters your mouth, allowing the coffee to penetrate all tasting areas of ones mouth. I also like to do a double slurpping technique where I slurp the coffee into my mouth, then put my chin down and slurp again having two slurps on one mouthful. What do you notice? Describe the taste. Here is what to look for:
- Acidity: Not the actual pH of the coffee. This refers to the cleansing attributes of the coffee. Does it feel tangy? Does it make your mouth feel clean? You will notice the acidity on the sides and the tip of your tongue. A comparison test to help you learn to identify acidity is to sip on a small cup of orange juice while also sipping on a small cup of coffee and compare the acidity between the two. Coffees with high acidity are described at bright, tangy, or crisp. Coffees with low acidiy feel smooth and tend to linger in your mouth.
- Body: This is the "weight" of the coffee. No, not how heavy it is in your mug, but how heavy it feels on your tongue. Coffees that are more full-bodied tend to feel heavier. The flavor stays in your mouth longer, whereas a light bodied coffee will not linger... feeling light. A comparison test to help you learn to identify body is to compare whole milk and non-fat milk.
- Flavor: This is the best part of the coffee tasting. The more experienced you become in coffee tasting, as well as how well refined your palate already is, will determine what flavors you are able to detect in any given cup of coffee. Some flavors are so subtle that only a veteran taster may notice, whereas other flavors are so obvious that you may pick that flavor up at the smelling step. Flavor is also determined by the growing region. Latin American generally tends to have cocoa or nutty flavors and sometimes fruity and tend to be very acidic. African/Arabian generally tends to have berry, spicy, and citrus flavors. Asia/Pacific generally tends to have herbal and spicy in flavor. By having one cup of coffee on your first tasting, you will probably not be able to identify all, some, or even any of these flavors. You may think that it just tastes like coffee. Comparison test would be to have three different types of coffee, one from each region for example, and taste those in different orders to compare and identify the different flavors. *Flavor here does not mean that a nutty coffee is going to "taste" like nuts. It is a descriptive term.*
- Location: Where in your mouth are you tasting the flavors? Is it on the tip or side of your tongue? That would be acidic. Do you feel it in the valley of your tongue? That would be heavy bodied. Swish it around in your mouth. Let your cheeks taste it. Do you taste it on the back of your tongue? That would be less acidic.
This ties in with flavor. Once you identify a certain "flavor" of a coffee, (cocoa, nuts, berries, etc.) it is good to do the entire tasting routine over again while pairing the coffee with a similar pastry, dessert, or even fruit. For example, have a small piece of chocolate with a coffee that has "cocoa" flavor. The more subtle the flavor is, if paired with that flavor, will bring it out of the coffee. When tasting with a pairing, it is a good idea to use small portions. Pastries should be cut into bitesize pieces. Put the piece in your mouth, then taste the coffee with the pastry still in your mouth. Remember to slurp! Swallow the pastry and coffee together.
Belly up and become a Coffee Snob!
This Week's Coffee Tasting by Keith
This morning Keith is having one of his mandatory "coffee tastings." He has to taste all the Starbucks coffees and document his observations and suggestions for pairings.
As per Keith: The very intense aroma is earthy yet slightly spicy and sweet. It also smells somewhat smokey. The coffee is not very acidic as it does not leave a clean feel when you swallow. It just feels like the coffee is still there in your mouth. It is a very heavy coffee in the taste, but the feel in your mouth is very light and very complex. It is a very sweet coffee and has an extremely subtle carmel taste to it. If paired with a vanilla caramel or a carmel chocolate bar, the carmelly taste is intensified as well as the sweetness. I can picture myself sitting on a veranda in Rome with a cup of this Roast as I watch the sun drop down behind the colliseum.

My Brain Never Stops Churning Ideas
Pour yourself a glass of ice cold milk and flavor it with a flavored creamer. I have chocolate caramel creamer... Mmmm... it's good in a glass or even on cereal!
For those of you who have litter boxes to clean... I've invented my very own Litter-genie. I have a small waste basket next to the box. I take my left over shopping bags and line the basket with them. Put the first one in, then another on top of it, and another, and another, and so on. Every day I pick the litter box, tie the bag, and tomorrow I'll use the next one. You can pitch it daily or keep using the next layer until you decide it needs dumped.

If I Could Only Catch Up!
Evenings have been full of this and that! Last night I hung with Amanda until after 9PM. There is much to do in preparation for her party. Tonight I had to run to the grocery store and am in the midst of making a cheesecake for Keith's company picnic. Tomorrow... is the Starbuck's company picnic! Keith works in the morning and the evening. Keith is going into work early tomorrow to pressure wash the floor mats at both local stores. Then he is off for the afternoon, but works again in the evening for his usual shift. I wonder if I can get off early for the picnic tomorrow? I guess I will have to - otherwise Keith will not be happy! Friday we are off to Mansfield Ohio for a wedding. We'll spend the night and be back just in time for Amanda's picnic party. I feel bad that I cannot be there to help her set up for it.
Other things I'd like to be doing... housework? Ya - it NEEDs done! Laundry is slow going. So are dishes. It's so hot in here! I'd really like to paint the spare room before the Valentine's arrive. The room is rather empty and the walls are washed. Keith has puttied many spots that need to be sanded before we can prime it. I'll be happy if we can just prime it before company arrives! I'd also like to check the air conditioner in the basement to see if it would work for the spare room while we have company.
I'd really like to ride the horses. Rene'e has asked me many times and my heart is in it... but with so many other priorities it's just not happening as I'd like. I keep saying... after this or after that... when is "after" going to actually happen? Maybe July 1st? Who knows?! Believe me Rene'e... I WANT to go and we will definitely do so very soon!!!
I keep thinking about my friend Jill whom I have not seen for a while. Back in the spring we visited each other often and talked a lot. Ever since Keith and I have been going to church in Bakerstown, I have missed seeing her (and some of my other friends too). I need to call her. She doesn't have e-mail... YET! I can't wait until she does! She stayed with us in KY a couple of times, which was very nice. She's a dear friend. I miss her.
Happy Anniversary to Wendy and Cory.
Happy Anniversary to Mom and Dad. Glad you like the bed. After all these years you deserve it.
David's birthday is next week... Joyce's shortly after that... also my friend Jane's... the list goes on!
OK - better check that cake and call Jill. G'night all.

Happy Father's Day
Happy Father's Day to my Dad... Shown here on my wedding day... probably the happiest day ever (for both of us - he he he).
Some special memories of my Dad...
- One time we went to pick him up at his reserve unit. There were so many soldiers walking around and they all looked the same. Mom said "There he is!" and we said "How do you know?" "Because of the way that he walks." Dad had a very unique bump in his walk that distinguished him fromt he others. Sure enough... it was him.
- When I was hospitalized for falling off my bike, I remember looking out the window and seeing him walking towards the hospital entrance. He brought me a Strawberry Shortcake nighty and I was WAY impressed. I wore it until I grew out of it and then I left it hang in the closet for years as a keepsake.
- I remember waiting in the parking lot for him to get off work at Pullman and then we went swimming at Moraine. I was pretty little and he took me out into the deep water. FUN.
- He taught me how to put up electric fence and how to repair it. He and Paul built this A-frame shed for my horse to live in. Thanks to both of you.
- We used to cut wood with Dad. We girls were given the task of picking up kindling in 5 gallon buckets. This was not the most joyous of jobs, but thank goodness he knew how to keep us warm all winter. He even taught me how to build a fire in the woodburner.
- Whenever we had time off school for a dentist appointment, if Dad took us to the appointment, he always took us for lunch afterwards.
- He helped me find and buy my first truck - 1983 Chevy Scottsdale. SWEET! I loved that truck. Thanks Dad. I would have been lost without your help on this!
- I remember the first time he met Keith. I woke up, went down stairs, and there he was on the front porch with Keith... smoking a cigarette, talking about army and civil war stuff. Not long after that... I married my Dad. :)
- One time , he rode to Kentucky to drop me off and take my truck back to PA. It was a short visit (over night), but a long ride. Thanks for helping me out Dad. We did some shopping at Walmart and had breakfast at Waffle House before he went back home.
- Dad loves the Grandchildren. When they are small he pushes them on the swing and sing to them. As they grow he encourages them to ride their bikes and play other games outside. Whenever I visit with Dad, he tells me all about them... every one of them...
There are many things to remember and many things to thank my Dad for. This only but a snippet. I wish you a splendid day Dad. Enjoy!

We rode the Pirate Ship first. There are these hidden sprinkler systems that made me laugh when they caught those passing by surprise. There is a statue of a pirate that remarkably resembles one of my problem-child type physicians. Hmmm... I wish I would have had my camera. From there we ventured onto some other miscellaneous rides, and of course... onto the Phantom's Revenge. Ye-haw! We stood in line for a long time to ride The Exterminator, but we loved it! We rode some cheesy rides like The Turnpike and some goofy Garfield 3-D ride (DUMB). As the day passed our energy weakened, so we hit the Log Jammer. We only got a little bit wet, but it was refreshing!
This place is ripe for "People Watching." There was this one guy that was pretty shabby looking who had a giant nose ring. I'm not talking a pretty diamond stud... I'm talking a bull sized nose ring that made me say "OUCH" just looking at it!!! You can't tell me that this guy wasn't making a statement. It must be something like "Hey look at me because I need attention so bad that I pierced my nose with a half inch thick hunk of metal!" I wonder if he hides during an electrical storm?
I saw a couple of gals that had a half a head of short hair and a half a head of longer hair. WHAT the ???
I know they say that obesity is like one of the greatest problems in the US, but I'm telling you that there is an abundance of teenage girls out there flaunting it ALL. Tight cloths, short short short shorts, bare bellies, butt cracks showing... you name it.
OK, I suppose I'm showing my age now.... these kids run and cut ahead of you in line just dying to get ahead. What's that all about? As if the ride is going to close before they get to the front??? I suppose I remember as a child "planning" how to ride the most rides in the littlest time. This place is genuinly made for kids! It was annoying to have these sweaty kids that I don't know crowding me in line. I make Keith stand behind me so I can stand back away from the one in front of me. (I don't like to be touched) I am amazed at the number of kids with potty mouths! I was thinking... if that were me in line (at that age) and there was an adult in front of me, there is NO WAY I'd be cussing.
We played a few games. My theory is that this is nothing more than throwing money away, but Keith likes to try, so as long as it was in the budget... we played a few. We even played a sea creature hunt video game together. We had to shoot the sharks and the sea monsters. I was amazed that this game lasted a long time, and it was fun to do it together. We played the arcade car race game (just like they have at North Park Clubhouse Lounge). The machine was actually broken so the attendant gave me 2 free games. Nice. I came in 8th place both games. I'm wondering if maybe there were only 8 cars racing? I have no idea. All I know is that I have trouble keeping it on the road in those games. On the way out we played some dumb game where you spray water into Garfield's mouth. Keith won. We got a dumb little yellow Tweety. So we played three games to win that and we each paid a buck a try... so Tweety cost us $6. Uh... why do we waste? I don't get it.
Keith thinks that Starbucks should contract with amusement companies such as KW. A lot of teenagers are in to coffee and foo-foo drinks. I bet they would make a buck.
The day all inclusive was worth it.... time and expense. We enjoyed each other's company and the beautiful day.
Annual Workout
The bales were perfectly sized this year - not too heavy and not too light. As it goes, we usually form an assembly line of sorts. One person tosses off the truck, the next tosses up to the stacker, and the stacker.... stacks. Duh. I was one of the stackers this year. I got to climb up as high as the rafters... Yippie! I don't claim to be the best stacker, but I try.
The work comes with sore and swollen fingers, a few hay scratches which inevitably ends up like a rash (at least for me), and lungs full of dust that will pass in a day or two. One night we were discussing how bringing in hay leaves us exhibiting our hard-core selves. Rene'e had a piece of hay stab her up the nose. Obviously she had a nose bleed. The general response is to wipe your face and sometimes blow your nose on whatever is closest... usually your shirt. Me... I had hay down my shirt... and mixed with a bout of poison ivy it was not pretty. I unashamedly reached down my shirt and was picking the hay and dirt out of my bra. Oh well... gotta do what ya gotta do... right? Ahhhhhhhhhh... but the workout is worth the efforts in the end. Our fine four-legged creatures will eat high on the hog for the months to come.
Rene'e says we need about 900 bales I think. Thank goodness she found another helper this year, Josh. He's been a real gem. Now at the end of the week, I cannot even remember when the hay started. I just know that we had a couple nights full of it and there is more to come. A few times we took Lee's flatbed truck to get it. We could fit about 75 or so on it. I even drove for one load. Another load came by trailer... another by horse trailer... and still more by the wagon. It feels like and endless task. Are we there yet?
One load we got on the flatbed we had tied it down good, but not good enough. It was dark out. When we backed up to the barn we realized we had lost some. With horror we darted for the 4-door truck to go find them before someone wrecked as a result. As we tore out of there... we spotted them... on the driveway. WHEW!!! We were amazed! We only lost 7 so it wasn't like an entire truckload.
I think the workout will last a couple more days and then we'll hang it up until next summer.
The Creepmeister
I can never resist this pose. We think it is odd that she likes to be under the covers.
Uh oh... we found her stalking under there!

Another Reason That I Do What I Do

What is your theological world view?
I took this test myself and was not surprised that my theology fell in line with that of my denomination. Interesting...
FYI - JD Walt is the Dean of Chapel at Asbury Theological Seminary.
So Much To Do... So Little Time
This past weekend Keith replaced the light fixture in the upstairs bathroom. Finally we no longer have to shower etc in the dark! We had bought a fixture for the downstairs bathroom, but that project is on hold for a while and we needed one for upstairs because the one up there had totally quit working... SO... we just used the one we had bought for the downstairs bathroom. It's so bright now!
I worked on cleaning the spare room this past weekend. I'm hoping that Keith might at least prime it before the Valentines visit at the end of this month. We have talked about how to decorate the room. We have no children, so there is no childish theme to be had. It's fun to dream about decorating though. I think we have settled on making it a "country" room of sorts. I think the colors will be beige, navy, and burgundy. We obviously have not picked out linens yet... we'll paint first. I'd like to have a shelf in there to display some of my moo moo stuff. This room will be the guest room in our house... if we ever get any guests...
I'm falling behind in cleaning this week. All the floors need swept. The dishes need done. There is laundry to do. The grass needs mowed. The car needs washed. You name it... we are behind! Ugh.
Well bloggers and friends... It's late so I'll end this here.
That brings us to Today...
This mornings meeting apparently went off without a hitch. I had prepared all the materials and handed the presentation to my boss on a jump drive and he and my co-worker handled it from there. The first part of the day was mostly a bunch of bouncing around, but after lunch I finally was able to sit and work.
By 7 p.m. I had completed 3/4 of the work that I should have had done LAST Friday!!! I'm so behind!!! Tomorrow I will pull the rest together. When that is done I have a bunch of docs wanting temporary privileges, so I'll work on that a while. Sometime this weekend I will finish the prep work for Monday's Credentials meeting - which happens to be my deadline. I'll feel so much better when that is over! I think I'll take a day off late next week to make up for some of my OT during the week.
This Weeks Tidbits
Monday came and went quicker than ever. I worked during the day. We prepped for some big meetings. I had the truck towed to the mechanic. It's going to cost me a small fortune, but I will be glad when it is fixed. Monday night I attended my ladies Bible study. Our discussion started with baptism in general. We also reviewed our reflections of our study of James 2. It was refreshing to meet with my lady friends on this note.
Tuesdays work included attending the quarterly department and general staff meetings. Do you ever wonder what this entails? It's a bunch of doctors getting together to talk about things that pertain to them. Much of it is about patient care and some of it is how to make their lives better at work. We review quality data to show how well we are doing with some of our ongoing projects for best care practices. We talk about the hospital and its future and those sorts of business topics. We had a Powerpoint presentation, which I was responsible for setting up and operating during the meeting. No biggie... I used to do that all the time before I went to Kentucky.
Wednesday was a wild and crazy day at work. There was a re-organization of our office. One position was eliminated. Ouch! I wish this person the best in her endeavors in finding another position and pray that it comes quickly and without much difficulty. This ordeal was a little uncomfortable in process, but things are ironing out now. We have all taken on additional responsibilities to make up for the gap. I was called upon to prepare the PowerPoint presentation for Thursdays meeting, which was like taking a step back in time for me. None-the-less, the work was done... and my credentialing work had to wait.
Sunday, June 04, 2006
As tradition would have it, there was a baptism at church this morning AND a welcoming of those junior high students confirming their faith. We have been attending the Bakerstown United Methodist Church lately. We have found that attending this church is a good idea for the time being. While we love our Butler First Church Family, we are trying to be thrifty with our fuel consumption. Also, when Keith works late on Saturday night and then early Sunday afternoon, we feel rushed in our travels. This church is right around the corner. We like the people and there is plenty of opportunity to serve there as well.
Happy Birthday Rene'e

Catching UP
Keith and I hit the local Starbucks for coffee this morning. From there we ventured out for a drive to North Park. We checked out the boat rental place - $10 per hour. Uh, if I'm going to pay that much, I'd like a motor on it please! Keith says it's great exercise, just like golf. I say, if I'm going to PAY for exercise, I'm going to go to the gym. From there we hit Soergel's Market. I love these kinds of places. They have an array of items that could take hours to see it all. I think we might have to make a trip here when the Valentines come. The kids would love it! The neatest part was the inside bee hive display. You've got to see it to believe it! They have a petting zoo, greenhouse, fruits and vegatables, bakery, deli, and even wine tasting.
Well, that about sums it up for now. I'm hoping that Paul might be available to help me move my truck today. Right now, the car and the truck are costing us a pile to keep running. UGH! Thank goodness we have at least ONE reliable mobile.
Enjoy the weekend everyone. It is a beautiful one!

Yesterday's Celebration


text:
"Starkville City Jail"
This shows the "Starkville City Jail," as it's known to Johnny Cash fans throughout the world in a photo taken by Skip Descant of the Columbus, Miss., Commercial Dispatch Newspaper. While Johnny nicknamed the place the "Starkville City Jail," everybody in the area knows it as the Oktibbeha County Jail. Sheriff Dolph Bryan had the drunk-tank key used to lock Cash up for the night mounted on a plaque and displayed in his office. He recently donated the plaque to the Oktibbeha County Heritage Museum, where the key and other Cash/Starkville memorabilia are on display.
For years now, the "Johnny Cash Suite" has been retired. Now it's used as a storage area, although people can still see the small dent from when Cash kicked the steel door during his stay. He broke his big toe that night.
You can see it for yourself at the Johnny Cash Flower Pickin Festival November 2, 3, and 4. See the news release further below.

Introversion's (Defcon, Darwinia, Uplink) next project, the top-down prison building title Prison Architect could arrive in some form as early as September. The current plan from the developers is to run a sort of 'paid alpha' period, where interested players can pay a reduced fee to get the game early. It's the same system that was used by Minecraft and the original Mount & Blade.
The current schedule puts that first alpha release "half way through/two thirds through of this year, so maybe September time", according to Introversion's Chris Delay. After that, alpha members would get a new update every three or four weeks. A full 'version 1.0' could emerge around early 2013.
Meanwhile, a first look trailer for the game has been released, which you can watch below. The game seems like it has a classic Bullfrog (Theme Hospital, Theme Park) vibe. I especially like the floaty people (the art is being done by Ryan Sumo, the same guy who worked on SpaceChem).
