Construction began in early 2006, and for two years the family, which now included
then 2-year-old Michael, lived in the back of the old house while crews worked to connect
an addition to its front right corner. The process subsumed the old three-season porch
over the garage and put the existing kitchen at the center of the new house. The new
breakfast and living/dining rooms and a remodeled family room pinwheel around it in
a configuration that allows the open spaces to communicate with one another while still
staking out their distinct territories.
The Alperses brought in interior designer Juliette Reid, to put the finishing touches on
their new home. Fine art would be a big part of her design. "The architecture is so strong,"
says Reid, "that one of my main tasks was finding pieces big and bold enough to match it."
For example, she hung the 55-inch-by-39-inch painting "Dierdre," an abstract of a woman's
head by the artist Jamali (from Gallerie d'Orsay in Boston), on a main wall "to connect with
the scale and colors all around it." And because the piece is pigment on cork, "the textures

Special valuation matters: property acquired under right to buy legislation
Under the Housing Act 1985 Part V an individual who had occupied a house or flat
- as a secure tenant
- for at least two years
was given, in certain circumstances, the opportunity of purchasing the freehold (IHTM23001) or a leasehold (IHTM23001) interest at a discount.
The discount, under s.129 of that Act, was based on the period of occupation and could be up to 60% of the value.
If the new owner sold his property within five years he had to repay part of the discount. The amount to be repaid diminished over time and a death was not a sale for this purpose.
Under the Housing and Planning Act 1986, the maximum discount was increased to 70%, with a ceiling of £35,000 from 7 January 1987. The liability to repay part of the discount was extinguished after three years instead of five, irrespective of the date of purchase.
The right to buy provisions extend (subject to various exceptions) to tenants of public sector properties. This means where the owner or landlord is
- a local authority
- a new town or urban development corporation
- a qualifying housing association or trust (as defined in s.5 and 6 of the Housing Act), or
- the Development Board for Rural Wales
The equivalent Scottish legislation is the Housing (Sco) Act 1987.
Similar provisions apply in Northern Ireland under the Housing (NI) Order 1983.
The decision in Alexander v IRC (IHTM23182) is of direct application and means that the contingent liability is a factor to be taken into account when valuing the property. Therefore, before referring the property to the VOA (IHTM23002) you should obtain details of
- the date of the conveyance (or of the grant of a lease), and
- the amount of discount allowed on the purchase
You should then ask the VOA to value the property in accordance with Chapter 1B Section 17.
The question of whether the right to buy was capable of transmission was put to the test in England in Bradford Metropolitan City Council v McMahon and another [1993 All ER 237. In that case the deceased had made clear her intention to buy the property of which she had been a secure tenant. She died before the property could be conveyed to her. On appeal it was held that she had not acquired an equitable interest as the 1985 legislation contained an implicit requirement that the tenant wishing to exercise the right of purchase had to remain a secure tenant until the conveyance of the property. As the death occurred before that time there was no right to purchase which could rest in the deceased's estate. However, in Scotland, the conclusion reached in Coopers' Exr v City of Edinburgh D.C. (1991 SLT (HL) 518) was that the Council was authorised to implement missives entered into between a secure tenant who later died, and the local authority.

Bumps on the Road to Here (from Eternity)
Department of Philosophy, The University of South Florida, 4202 E. Fowler Avenue, FAO226, Tampa, FL 33620, USA
Received: 20 December 2011 / Revised: 14 February 2012 / Accepted: 16 February 2012 / Published: 23 February 2012
(This article belongs to the Special Issue Arrow of Time)
AbstractIn his recent book, From Eternity to Here, and in other more technical papers, Sean Carroll (partly in collaboration with Jennifer Chen) has put forward an intriguing new way to think about the origin of the Universe. His approach, in a nutshell, is to raise certain worries about a standard Boltzmannian picture of statistical mechanics, and to present certain commitments that he thinks we ought to hold—commitments that the standard picture doesn't share. He then proposes a cosmological model—one that purports to give us insight into what sort of process brought about the "initial state" of the universe—that can uniquely accommodate those commitments. The conclusion of Carroll's argument is that statistical mechanical reasoning provides grounds for provisionally accepting that cosmological model. My goal in this paper is to reconstruct and critically assess this proposal. I argue that "statistical cosmology" requires a careful balance of philosophical intuitions and commitments against technical, scientific considerations; how much stock we ought to place in these intuitions and commitments should depend on where they lead us—those that lead us astray scientifically might well be in need of philosophical re‑examination.

| The following is the text of an anonymous statement circulated on the internet
during April 2005, shortly after Noel Pearson appeared on the front page of the Australian advocating that young
Aborigines from Northern Australia should be encouraged to pick fruit in order to 'learn the value of money'.
It is re-printed here to encourage public awareness and debate on the bizzare notions (often developed by Right Wing 'think tanks') that Noel Pearson sometimes embraces and advocates.
|Noel Pearson is Dangerous
| It's funny how Noel Pearson's
"great idea" of getting Australian
Koorie kids off the Dole and welfare system by
sending them away to go fruit-picking, only came
out after ATSIC was abolished. The idea would have
been debated within ATSIC and maybe Noel prefers to do
things the Government way: sneaky, making the
decision first and then lying about it to people when he's
caught out.
Fruit-picking is hard, dusty and thirsty work, especially when the temperature gets over 40 like it often does in the fruit picking areas of South Australia, West Australia and Queensland. The money isn't great unless you're a "gun-picker" and most people are not, so in the past Australia's fruit growers and orchardists have relied on illegal immigrants and backpackers to do most of the fruit-picking.
It's also odd how Noel Pearson's "great idea" of getting koories to go fruit-picking fits in with the Government's crackdown on illegal immigrants and backpackers who overstay their visas. It's as if the whole thing has been coordinated by someone high up in the Government, with lackeys like Pearson running around doing the donkey work.
have seen, with my own eyes, the Australian Immigration Department raiding farms outside Robinvale in Victoria and carting the illegal immigrants off by the bus-load. The farmer was suddenly left with no-one to pick his fruit but before you could say "coconut" Noel Pearson turned up with a bus-load of Koorie kids that he'd flown in from the other side of the country to do the work. Like I say, it's almost as if the whole thing has been coordinated and it also just happens to fit in with the Government forcing unemployed and Disabled people to do more Work for the Dole.
You can bet that Noel Pearson's kids will never be forced to go fruit-picking but he's quite happy to get paid (a lot of money) to con other people's kids to go and do it. He's even happy to fly them around the country at taxpayer's expense just to prove to the Government what a "can-do" sort of guy he is.
It's strange that, even though Noel Pearson says fruit-picking is a "worthwhile career", he nevers goes fruit-picking himself. Or does any other sort of hard, manual job. HE'S TOO BUSY DOING THE GOVERNMENT'S DIRTY WORK to do any fruit-picking himself but he wants Koories to "make themselves useful" by doing it.

Kim Shanower - on mourning the loss of a friend
A couple of weeks ago Kim's daughter Jessikah asked me to take some photos of Kim, as they would probably be her last photos. At first I did not think I could do this, but now looking back, I am so glad the good Lord gave me an opportunity (and the strength) to bless a dear friend with some beautiful photos...isn't this the reason I starting taking pictures in the first place??

Manuel - 9 April 2010
Manuel came to Los Angeles in the mid 1950's and later became head tailor and designer for Nudie of Nudie's Rodeo Tailors and designed for Roy Rogers among others. He has done clothing for everyone from Elvis (the famous gold jacket) to the Stones (did I mention I had on my sweats?). We go into one of his design rooms and there is a beautiful photo of his parents...
Esperanza and Jose' Guadalupe Cuevas...they were his true inspirations he says.
She was 13 when they married. There were 11 children, Manuel was the fifth. His older brother taught him to sew. He was raised in Mexico and attended the University of Guadalajara where he majored in psychology.
After working for the studios, Nathan Turk and for Nudie, Manuel left to open his own business in North Hollywood. He later moved to Nashville, TN in 1989. And here in Music City he has designed for the best of Country Music.
This fashion icon sits in front of me and what impresses me most is his romance of life.. He is charming, kind, and passionate. His lifes work is in the art he creates with his hands and in his heart. He is excited about a benefit he is having for his birthday to raise money for a non-for-profit organization he started, Friends of Manuel. The Friends of Manuel Foundation will financially support the Manuel Fashion Institute for the enrichment of the arts in the fashion and textiles industry.
As I get ready to leave, I try to hide my lack of fashion sense behind my camera bag, and Manuel, in his latino charm says "you look beautiful my dear, don't stay away so long".

Meeting David Harp...artist...cowboy...
This is David Harp from David Harp studio http://www.davidharpstudio.com/. I met David when he hired me to shoot interior photos of iron work he had done several million dollar homes for his celebrity clientele in Nashville.
I was invited to his family's home about a 45 drive north of Nashville, and there I got a glimpse of the man behind the artist.
David was raised on a cattle farm in Arkansas and came to Nashville with his wife and daughters as his daughter wanted to pursue a music career.
He has worked for one of the top music management teams, and had a hand in developing some of the most well know country artists.
David decided to pursue his love of the art of blacksmithing and started his studio on his estate just north of Nashville. He designs, creates and distributes his art to his clientele all over the world. His speciality is iron furniture, rails, lamps and very ornate pieces of art.
And as if his talents in the blacksmith trade were not enough...David is a championship cutting horse rider and works cattle and trains his own championship horses. I had the opportunity to see a cutting horse training session, he made it seem effortless. His connection to his horse was one of an artist towards his craft.
David travels both with his art and with his horses. He drives a custom Prevost bus with a mighty trailer behind....if you see him out on the road somewhere make sure you go say hello. He is a man who never met a stranger, and with his Hollywood smile, he will make you feel right at home.

Big Blogger is, I came to say
Just one more thing to pass the day,
And if it's so then you'll concur,
That some in here are made of fur.
And so I ponder on this beat,
Of this task I must complete.
A poem is what I must write,
I just hope it isn't shite.
Enough you say, my ears they hurt
And more than out! all out you blurt,
So I will finish this this way,
Just one more thing to pass the day.

Primary surplus, revenues beat targetsJanuary-May budget figures show tax collections fetched 140 million euros more than expected By Sotiris Nikas
The budget's primary balance and its revenues have beaten their targets according to the deficit figures for the year's first five months released on Tuesday by the Finance Ministry.
The primary budget surplus amounted to 707 million euros in the year to end-May, compared with a target for just 208 million euros. The total balance of the budget, including interest payments, showed a deficit of 1.99 billion euros against a target for 2.55 billion.
Tax revenues beat their target by 140 million euros, reaching 16.06 billion. This was thanks to the better-than-expected performance of the collections of corporate income tax by 274 million euros or 57.8 percent, of the property tax by 23 million euros or 2 percent, other direct taxes by 7 million euros, value-added tax by 22 million euros, and other indirect taxes by 22 million euros.
The revenue categories that missed their targets in the January-May period were income tax from households, by 95 million euros or 4 percent, the special categories income tax by 36 million euros, the special consumption tax on energy commodities by 14 million euros, the other special consumption taxes by 36 million euros, other consumption tax by 22 million euros, and revenues of the program to enhance cash flow due to the credit crisis by 29 million euros, or 33.4 percent.
Tax rebates in the year to end-May amounted to 1.26 billion euros, exceeding their target by 85 million euros, while Public Investments Program revenues amounted to 2.3 billion euros, against a target for 2.31 billion.
On the expenditure side, spending was contained by 641 million euros more than the budget target. Even the financing of social security funds, which usually causes the biggest headache, was within the framework set by the budget.
The only form of public spending that missed its target was that for the Public Investment Program, by 113 million euros, but given the declared intention to support investments in the country this can only be a welcome development. Furthermore, by the end of May, the Finance Ministry had only distributed 169 million out of the 525 million euros set aside for the so-called social dividend (the handout to vulnerable social groups from last year's primary surplus).

Creating vmware VM from "Xp mode" VM in W7
Hi all
You can create a VM that works under vmware from the XP image loaded in the "XP Compatability mode" if you have Acronis True image.
The advantage of this is that you don't need to get a separate XP license to create "Multiple" XP machines. Once you've got a vmware machine you can "Clone them" etc and add to your "Vm Team" of machines.
1) Logon to your Virtual machine and create a backup using acronis true image
2) Download from the vmware site the vmware stand alone converter
3) run it and select "Convert 3rd party / backup image" Virtual machine
select youe *.tib acronis file.
4) after about 5 mins its ready - open it in vmware and logon
Voila -- however Windows will need activating -- you still get 30 days plus all the slmgr -rearm options . I haven't tried activating yet but will attempt that later -- you need to install Vmware tools on the new guest to enable decent video / sound / network adapters.
Note also you get a warning that you need to also copy the deployment tool (microsoft) to the conversion folder -- you only need that if the hardware is hugely different -- for this exercise it can be ignored since the "virtual hardware" is very similar. Also you are onlydoing a V2V conversion not V2P or P2V.
Have fun and enjoy.
Will post later if the activation actually works. It DOES however pass Windows gENUINE VALIDATION TEST.

"January 2010 marked the beginning of the Europeana Regia project, which will digitise 874 rare and precious manuscripts from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, with the collaboration of five major libraries located in four countries and the support of the European Commission. The project is expected to run for thirty months (January 2010 to June 2012) and will draw together three collections of royal manuscripts that are currently dispersed and which represent European cultural activity at three distinct periods in history: the Biblioteca Carolina (8th and 9th centuries), the Library of Charles V and Family (14th century) and the Library of the Aragonese Kings of Naples (15th and 16th centuries). These manuscripts will be fully accessible on the websites of the partner libraries and will also be included in Europeana."

|New York Fashion Incubator : Guide to NY Fashion Incubators
Welcome to the New York Fashion Incubator.
New York is one of the most influential cities in the United States for many reasons. In fact, NY is among the top most influential cities in the entire world. As with most business categories, New York is important to the fashion industry.
In the realm of fashion, NYC is most certainly one of the leading international fashion markets. Sure, Paris, Milan, Hong Kong, and other cities are important. However, New York really has a vibe and style that is all it's own. New York is considered a melting pot in regard to it's human population. In our opinion, the city is more importantly a huge melting pot in regarding to fashion. When combining the five boroughs, it is hard to find a fashion trend that is not accounted for in one way or another. Even if the style originates from another country, the trend will most certainly find it's way into the big apple.
In addition to being a place for manufacturing, wholesaling, and retailing, the city that never sleeps has a sense of style that is simply unmatched. From internationally recognized fashion designers to freshman at a fashion school, New York has a creative element that goes far and beyond most major cities. In summary, the city truly has a wide and ample assortment of fashion industry talent.
Incubators are designed to accelerate the successful development of entrepreneurial companies through an array of business support resources and services. These services are typically developed and orchestrated by incubator management and offered both in the incubator and through its network of contacts. Incubators vary in the way they deliver their services, in their organizational structure, and in the types of clients they serve. In regard to "fashion incubators", the services offered are obviously designed around what would be beneficial to a clothing company. For example, a fashion incubator may offer assistance with brand development, garment production, brand marketing, financial support, etc. If you want to learn more about incubators, you may want to simply ask, "What is a fashion incubator?".
More about incubators:
Unlike many business assistance programs, business incubators generally do not serve any and all companies. Entrepreneurs who wish to enter a business incubation program typically must apply for admission (consult with each incubator to learn their requirements). Acceptance criteria vary from program to program, but in general only those with feasible business ideas and a workable business plan are admitted to a program.
OK, we know that this website is about New York fashion incubators. However, in an effort to help the international fashion community, here is access to information about fashion incubators from other cities.

The girls had so much fun playing together. We have no boys in our family hardly at all. There is one boy on my side of the family, but none on my husbands side. It's so strange. He came from a family of 3 boys, he has 2 brothers. And now all his brothers have girls. So strange huh!
I surpised Emma yesterday with this dress. She saw it at Target back a couple of weeks ago and wanted it soooo bad. She loves the Disney show Austin & Ally, and this is one of the Ally dresses from Target. She had to put her cowgirl boots on to go with it! Love it! =)
Emma with the girls! My poor niece Haley in the very front got sooo many bug bites on her face while they were at camp.
I didn't take too many photos yesterday at the BBQ. This morning we headed out to the parade =)
Emma and Lottie get along sooo well. They just moved here from Germany. Lottie's dad is in the military. He left bright & early this morning to go back to Germany and he won't be home until Christmas. Lottie was so sad this morning. =(
The picture above is one of my brother in laws driving the firetruck. My niece and his wife were in the back =) My other brother in law was suppose to be in the parade as well, but he ended up having to go to a medical call with the ambulance.
After the parade Lottie was a bit upset about her dad leaving so we wanted to take her mind of things for a bit so we made a stop at the University of Maine farm. Emma has loved this place since she was about a year old. She loves going to see the animals.
I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. I know that we sure did! I wish the weekends were longer =)

A breakthrough combo rooted in some lost designs from the early '60s.
Lil' Elvis is a breakthrough amplifier rooted in some lost '60s designs from one of Britain's best designer. Based on a two EL84 power section, 12AX7 front end, and a clean output of 12 watts, the authority and vocabulary of this little amp are truly surprising and inspiring.
With Lil' Elvis, one may never feel as if they're playing a small amplifier at all. With a feeling akin to that of playing a mini-4x12 rig, Lil' Elvis is truly a pleasure for rock, country, jazz, R&B and hard rockers alike. In addition to a truly astonishing vocabulary, touch response, and harmonic content, Lil' Elvis also has 65's ˜Master Voltage. 65amps' Master Voltage is a large leap forward in power technology. Not a scaling schema, attenuator or master volume, the Master Voltage keeps the amp's entire vocabulary, authority, and responsiveness intact while reducing power down to 2 or 3 watts. This feature makes Lil' Elvis an outstanding recording, home, small club, and large stage amp, especially when in-ear monitors are required for your gig.
All Lil Elvis 65amps feature:
Mercury Magnetics Hand-wound Transformers made in Los Angeles - Custom made using the highest grade M6 steel and pure copper windings. Mercury's hand-wound transformers offer a quality level unparalleled in the market today. Hand-wound transformers, while much more expensive, will deliver elegant, balanced, clear vintage tone that is unmistakable.
SoZo Capacitors - For the most musical and detailed response from your amplifier. SoZos are the most musical, consistent and complete sounding capacitors on the market. Made to the highest standards in the USA.
Aluminum Chassis - All of 65smps' chassis are made from high-grade aluminum here in Los Angeles. This quality of chassis is the best we've found for grounding quietly, shielding against 21st century RF sources that are everywhere, and the ruggedness required for working professionals.
Authentic Allen-Bradley Carbon Comp resistors where it counts - In the signal path of all 65amps are the best sounding resistors known: Allen-Bradley Carbon Comps. Renown for decades as the "magic" part required for getting "that" sound, the Allen-Bradley resistor is an unparalleled finishing touch for your tone. All other resistors are 1% tolerance mil-spec parts made in the Americas that ensure that your amp will always be performing at peak potential and always be safe.
Get ready for a revelation in tube tone. Order today.

Remember the Nintendo era? I have fond memories of spending hours curled up playing Mario and watching my cousins take each other down in Mortal Kombat. Back then, there were a limited number of games on the market. You'd play for a couple of hours, then got so sick of the game that you moved on to something else.
And if you didn't get off on your own, your mom would shove you in a coat and shoes and take care of that for you.
Maybe it's because I grew up with one television channel, no computer and very few video games, but monitoring screen time in my house wasn't really a problem. I have more memories of my grandmother telling me to stop playing in the creek than to step away from the TV. These days, it seems like I spend half my life dragging my kids away from the computer and back into real life.
Video Games Aren't Doing Our Kids Any Favors
There's been a huge amount of research done in recent years on the effects of video games on our kids' growth and development. What our parents deemed harmless entertainment when we were kids is turning into a global problem. Video games are being linked with poor social development, childhood obesity, falling grades and the early onset of addictive behavior in children.
In other words, they're so busy spending time sitting on their butt in front of the computer screen that they're not out there doing anything else!
As a parent, it's my job to make sure my kids eat right. That they get their homework done. That they have the opportunity to develop socially, make friends, expand their horizons. I dedicated hours to playgroups, dance classes, pool time, school events and teaching my kids how to read. Now that they're thinking for themselves, am I really going to cross my arms, sit back and say, "My job's done. Go ahead and do whatever you want."?
I don't think so.
Be Their Parent, Not Their Friend
"I can't get my kids to stop playing video games!"
Get a dozen parents together and that's the complaint you're going to hear, over and over again. All their kids want to do is play video games. They just don't seem to want to do anything else. Hours upon hours their little darlings fritter away in front of the big screen while their parents gnash their teeth in the background because they don't want to go outside.
Here's the thing. Saying you can't get your kids to stop playing video games is like saying you can't get your shoe to go on your foot. Of course you can. You're the parent. Unplug the Wii. Disconnect the modem. Take the Playstation controllers. Limit the number of hours your kids spend in front of the computer and TV screens each day and stick to it. If they can't play video games, they're going to have to find something else to do.
It's kind of like eating brussel sprouts. They don't have to like it, but it's something they can live with.
It's Easier Said Than Done
For those of you rolling your eyes and thinking, "It's easy for you to say," I've been there. My husband is an avid gamer, and when the kids were little I didn't put a whole lot of thought into the amount of time they spent playing computer or watching TV. It was okay for a few years. They still went outside to play tag, still spent hours at the pool, still nagged me, day in and day out, to go to their cousins' house to hang out.
As they got older, however, getting them outside got a lot harder. My oldest buried himself in video games, started dropping out of other activities, spent hours in front of the computer when his friends came over-if they came over at all. All three of the kids would whine and complain when I turned off the computers and the TV and tried to get them to do something else. Before long, video games (or in my daughter's case, the TV) were all my kids could talk about.
Something had to give. I started cracking down on the amount of time the kids spent playing games and watching TV. I signed them up for swim classes and after school activities, and started kicking them outside on a regular basis.
I implemented a firm policy that those who complain when it's time to turn off the video games don't get to play them again until mom's good and ready to turn them back on.
Sure, video game marathons still happen. When my oldest has friends over, I'll let them geek it up for a few hours. On days I have to work and they're bored out of their minds I'll lift video game restrictions, just to keep them entertained for most of the day. I try not to grind my teeth too far down when they're home with dad, who lets them computer it up whenever they want as long as their chores get done.
But these are special events, and the kids know it.
It's been an uphill battle, especially in light of the fact that my husband continues to game as often as possible. We've argued more than once about me telling the kids to turn off the computers and find something else to do. It's a fight I'm determined to win, however, because I'm seeing a difference.
In a world without video games, my kids spend more time with their friends and with each other. They're learning problem solving skills that have nothing to do with swords or shooting people in the head. They're discovering new interests; they'll start Tae Kwon Do next month, and I'm tripping over Yu Gi Oh cards every time I turn around. My oldest is celebrating his first marking period in middle school on the honor roll. My youngest is learning how to read.
They're making friends, learning valuable social skills and setting the stage for a bright future that has nothing to do with spending days hunched like a mole over a computer screen.
Yesterday was early dismissal day. The kids came home early from school yesterday and immediately broke out the Uno cards instead of making a mad dash for the computers, the television or the Wii. It brought a tear to my eye.
How do you manage video game time at your house?

Sleaford Seahawks 3-1 Horncastle Town Development XI
Continuous pressure and some good possession football was not rewarded on Sunday as Horncastle Town Development XI lost 3-1 at Sleaford.
Town were full of confidence from recent results and started well against a well organised Sleaford side.
The game started at a great pace with Sleaford having most of the possession, great defensive work from central defenders Harry Simmons and Dave Maplethorpe led to a frustrating first 20 minutes for the Sleaford Strikers.
With the wind behind the home side most of the football was played in the Town Half. Central midfielders Callum Low and Andrew Bullivant kept possession well and played some quality balls in behind the Sleaford defence for town strikers Luke Blondell and George Swift, unfortunately their efforts were not rewarded.
A quality ball into the box led to a simple tap in for Sleaford to take the lead and they made it two just before half time.
The second half got underway and Horncastle had all the ball and continued to press the play and put the Sleaford midfield and defenders under pressure.
Town continued to create chances but couldn't take them. Will Burton and Tom Sewell played good quality balls into the front two, but again Town couldn't find the back of the net and against the run of play Sleaford went up the other end and got a third goal.
Town from the restart still put Sleaford under pressure, creating several chances, eventually Sleafords High line defence was breached by Luke Blondell who went through and chipped the 'keeper to make it 3-1 to Sleaford.
Manager Mark Simmons said: "I wanted my lads to come here and compete, regardless of the result I wanted a performance and I got that, we were unlucky not to come away with at least a point, This young side continues to de me proud "
Towns team, Liam Smith (GK) Joe Wilkinson, Callum Hotchin, Harry Simmons, Dave Maplethorpe, Callum Low (C) Andrew Bullivant , Will Burton, Tom Sewell, George Swift and Luke Blondell, substitutes Eddie Wright and Henry Lyddiatt

Devils' Jagr ties Lemieux on all-time points listby Mike G. Morreale
NEWARK, N.J. -- New Jersey Devils forward Jaromir Jagr assisted on a goal in the first period on Tuesday to tie former Pittsburgh Penguins teammate Mario Lemieux for seventh place on the NHL all-time point list.
Jagr assisted on a goal by Adam Henrique 57 seconds into the game to tie Lemieux with 1,723 points. Steve Yzerman is sixth on the list with 1,755.
But he was in no mood to talk about individual accomplishments after the Devils' 3-2 overtime loss to the Philadelphia Flyers at Prudential Center.
"We don't learn," he said after New Jersey lost its third consecutive game. "We keep doing the same mistakes over and over and over. It happened to us against Columbus [in a 2-1 shootout loss] and other games too. When you have those points that might be the difference between playoffs and no playoffs, you have to take advantage."
Jagr, 41, has scored 1,723 points in 1,435 regular-season games. Lemieux, Jagr's teammate though most of his first 11 NHL seasons, needed 915 games.
Jagr's next goal will be the 695th of his career, which would move him into sole possession of seventh place on the all-time goal list ahead of Mark Messier (694). Jagr has been held without a goal in seven straight games.
Jagr also has four game-winning goals this season, moving past Gordie Howe into first place all-time with No. 122 against the Ottawa Senators on Dec. 18. He is also first in NHL history with 18 overtime goals, including one this season, his first with the Devils. He leads the team in assists (22), points (35), plus-minus (plus-12) and is second on the team in goals (13) through 44 games.

Technical indicators are great tools for traders to fine tune their trading decisions.
In order to maximize the benefits of indicators, traders need to know which indicators
work best in trending markets and which ones work best in trendless markets. By
using the Aroon indicator can help traders determine when a market is up trending,
down trending, or is in a trendless market. Once you are able to figure out what
the market conditions are, then choosing the right indicator to use becomes much
The Aroon indicator was developed by Tushar Chande in 1995 to determine whether
a stock is currently trending or not and if it was trending how strong the trend
is. Traders can also use the Aroon to identify the beginning of a new trend, consolidations,
spot correction periods and reversals. The indicator is made up of two lines, Aroon-Up
and Aroon-Down.
What makes the Aroon Indicator unique among technical indicators is that it analyses
the time versus price on a relative basis. The Aroon-Up line is the amount of time
between the start of a time period and the point at which the highest price during
that period occurred on percentage basis. Conversely, The Aroon-Down is the
amount of time between the start of a time period and the point at which the lowest
price during that period occurred on percentage basis.
If we take a look at these formulas, it is apparent that they are both looking at
how recent the latest highs and lows were in a given period on percentage basis.
Aroon-Up values will show more recent highs and lows, while Aroon-Down will show
less recent highs and lows. The Aroon Indicator fluctuates between 100 and 0. Higher
Aroon numbers suggests a stronger trend and a lower numbers indicate no or weakening
To utilize the Aroon indicators traders will monitor three basic levels, which are
the centre line of 50, 70-100 and 0-30 areas of the indicator. As mentioned
before the indicator is designed to be bound between 0 and 100. When the Aroon lines
move above the centre line 50, it is interpreted that that is an upward bias in
the market and bullish traders are in control. When the Aroon lines move below 50,
it is interpreted that there is downward bias in the market and the bears are in
control. To explain further, when either the Aroon- Up or Aroon-Down lines move
to 100, the Aroon indicator is signalling that that a trend may be emerging. This
is confirmed with a decline in the other Aroon indicator. When a bullish trend begins,
the Aroon- Up will move to 100 and the Aroon-Down will move below 30. When the Aroon
lines are reading 100 we know that the price action is consistently making new highs
or lows for the specified period. Chande used 25 periods as his default for the
Aroon indicator. When Aroon-Up stays above the 70-100 range for an extended period
of time prices are consistently making new highs. When the Aroon-Down remains above
the 70-100 range for an extended period of time prices are consistently making lower
lows. When the market is range bound the Aroon lines with remain remains in the
0-30 range for an extended period.
Chande build up the Aroon Indicator with the development of the Aroon oscillator.
The Aroon oscillator is simply plots the difference between the Aroon-up and the
Aroon-down lines. This may be easier for some traders to read then the original
Aroon indicator. Unlike the original Aroon, the oscillator is plotted between -100
and 100. The centre line at zero is the major signal line that determines the strength
of the trend. The higher the value is above the centre line, the stronger the uptrend.
Conversely, the lower the oscillator line is below from the centre line the stronger
The Aroon indicator is a good tool for traders who are primarily interested in determining
if market conditions are trending or not trending. By utilizing the Aroon indicator
traders can avoid using the wrong technical indicators and choosing the specific
indicators for range bound markets and other for trending markets.

so i was racking my brains and couldn't think of anything. but then i was snacking this afternoon and thought, hang on! how about a literally "sweet" memory?
it was when i was in maputo, mozambique.
we were at the iris ministries orphanage.
and one night we all gathered in this covered area, i don't even remember if there was a name for this place, or where it was in the layout of the orphanage, but there we were, a handful of white people in amongst a ton of african kids, watching The Lion King. and the kids were handing us pieces of sugarcane to chew while we watched the movie in the dark.
and the reason this memory came to mind? stupidstore - er, superstore - was selling pieces of sugarcane about 3ft long the last time i went grocery shopping. so naturally i grabbed a piece, and that's what i was snacking on this afternoon.

Final Round of Mighty No. 9 Platform Surveys/
A few days ago, Comcept announced that they were sending out the final round of Platform Surveys to those who backed the Kickstarter campaign which led to the creation of Mighty No. 9. The reason I didn't say anything then is because as soon as I learned of this, I also learned that they had to cease the surveys at that time.
"Unfortunately an error occurred in the survey and as result the survey has put on been hold (exceeding the survey send out limit)," Comcept explained. So, figured I might as well wait that one out.
Well, the new time for surveys has come, and they've been sent out. Comcept notes:
It is vital that you complete this survey by the deadline of 11:59PM PDT on May 29th 2016. Additionally, due to the error of the original survey, people who have already answered survey need to answer it again with the new survey link. (We totally understand it's frustrating and we are sorry for any inconvenience, but please take the time to give us your response one last time.)
Anyone who does not respond to this survey by the deadline (even if you've stated your preference previously) will automatically be given the default: a Steam key and a DRM-free PC download. They also note that due to the volume of recipients involved, it may take a few days for the surveys to reach everyone, so keep an eye on your Inboxes and check your junk mail, just in case!

Tottenham finally produced the football manager Tim Sherwood has been promising, beating Stoke City 3-0 at White Hart Lane on Sunday.
White Hart Lane enjoyed some outstanding attacking football, and the home fans will be happy to that their own team were the ones getting the plaudits.
A solid defensive display by Tottenham, excellent midfield performance, and front two full of menace completely overran a Stoke side looking hugely short of confidence. It was in stark contrast to both the performance and result Spurs produced on Boxing Day, when they drew with West Brom.
From the off Tottenham attacked with drive, and the only surprise was that it took so long for the hosts to open the scoring - with Roberto Soldado netting in the 37th minute following a Ryan Shawcross handball. Moussa Dembele, who alongside Paulinho dominated in central midfield, scored the second from distance, and Aaron Lennon hit in a superb volley to top the scoreline off. Quite frankly, it could have been a lot more.
Below are the Tottenham team ratings:
Hugo Lloris 6.5/10 - The Frenchman had very little to do in the game, dealing with just one effort on target - a tame Peter Crouch header.
Kyle Naughton 7/10 - Much more comfortable on the right hand side, and released Lennon with a superb through ball for an early chance. Made an important challenge on Assaidi as he burst past him in the second half, and was very solid throughout.
Michael Dawson 6.5/10 - His most comfortable Tottenham game for a while. Made a dangerous challenge on Assaidi just as the Moroccan shaped to shoot, getting what looked like the slightest touch on the ball.
Vlad Chiriches 6.5/10 - A vast improvement on his Boxing Day performance, playing with confidence without doing anything unnecessary. Back to the kind of showing he exhibited in his first couple of months at Tottenham.
Zeki Fryers 6/10 - Lucky to get away with a challenge on Walters when he was the last man. Looked like the inexperienced player that he is in the first few minutes, but improved as the game went on.
Paulinho 8/10 - Outstanding in the first half, full of flicks and excellent running. Provided an absolutely outstanding pass through to Soldado, and looked really dynamic alongside Dembele. Came off with a knock on the hour, and just loses out to Dembele as best player.
Moussa Dembele 8/10 - MOTM - Excellent alongside Paulinho in a really dominant central midfield, carrying the ball from deep and using his strength to maintain possession. Harshly booked following an altercation with Ryan Shawcross, and just after scored a brilliant solo goal from 25 yards, beating a couple of players and then rifling it into the bottom corner.
Aaron Lennon 8/10 - Was lively on the right-hand side against Pieters, with his crossing and running a constant threat. Scored his first goal in 21 games with an outstanding volley that flew into the far corner to make it 3-0. Withdrawn early to keep him fresh for the game against Manchester United.
Christian Eriksen 7.5/10 - Looked to get on the ball whenever he had an opportunity and was a real creative influence, despite playing on the left hand side of the Tottenham midfield. Had a hand in almost everything decent going forward.
Emmanuel Adebayor 7.5/10 - One of those days when he looked really interested. Lively on the ball and was even tracking back. Should have buried a chance in the first quarter of an hour, completely miskicking his attempt, but had a good game. Won the penalty after Shawcross handled his overhead kick.
Roberto Soldado 6.5/10 - Volleyed just wide after great work from Paulinho. Made a great pass to Adebayor that led to the penalty, which the Spaniard then dispatched expertly. Missed a guilt-edged cutback from Lennon, weakly shooting into Sorensen's arms, but set up Lennon's goal with a great pass. Looks a much better player alongside another forward.
Etienne Capoue 62' 6/10 - Came on after Paulinho has suffered an ankle knock, and was a perfect replacement, offering a slightly more defensive option just as Spurs went two up.
Erik Lamela 75' 6.5/10 - Was instantly involved after coming on, nearly scoring with his first touch and then setting Naughton free down the right. One terrible challenge on Pieters saw him booked.
Nacer Chadli 80' 6.5/10 - Replaced Adebayor, and also looked to get involved in what was some exhibition play by Tottenham in the last few minutes.

photo: Scott and Kim at CDKU, 88.1FM in Halifax, Nova Scotia
"It was almost as though I wanted to be crucified in every moment of life. If there was a discomfort I'd rush toward it right away." – Scott MacInnis
Scott and Kim MacInnis were guests on Nonduality Network Talk Radio.
This is the accidental self-inquiry and awakening story of Scott and the sharp turn onto a more intentional spiritual path. The role of Scott's wife Kim, who was on her own path at the same time, is revealed, and the nature of their interaction and relationship. Scott and Kim are in their early thirties and have two young sons.
Lots of topics. James Traverse joins us in the last half hour to facilitate the interview. You may listen here:
Parenting is one of the topics we talked about. "Honour truth," Scott says. "I won't lie to (my sons) and tell them that happiness is out there and that security is out there. I also won't put the pressure on them of making them have to conform even with my own beliefs and understandings. These are for them to find out on their own, and I'll always tell them the truth to the best of my ability."
Kim responds, "It's a lot for a child to hear that, and I feel it's my place just to love them. … I want to nurture that aspect because I want them to own their feelings and to be able to understand their feelings."
Scott says, "We often joke that there are two very different dialects in our house. Kim carries the feelings in the house. That has its own intelligence and language, one I don't understand very well, so it's wonderful that she picks of the pieces, in a sense, or shows the kids that other nurturing side and understanding, and validating of their feelings."
Scott and Kim talk about "meeting in truth" as part of their relationship. "The problems are pointers."
We talk about how Scott's everyday life was affected by awakening and how he was brought from the impractical living in a unitive state, back into the world. Realizing the mistake of identifying with bliss as true nature was the beginning of stabilization.
Quotations from Scott MacInnis:
"The I-thought cannot hold up to investigation."
"I used the strength of my mind to turn it on itself."
"You can't half-look at yourself."
"I learned to listen nakedly without my mind."
"Awareness is a solvent, it melts everything away."
"The truth is in silence and to speak at all about it is in a way a violation of it."
"When you surrender to the flow of life, everything takes care of itself."
"When you're empty you respond optimally in a situation."
"Investigation mows down the false identities. As you bring them up to examine they fall away on their own. Awareness does that on its own; part of its character is to dissolve everything into itself because awareness is what everything is arising within, so false identities cannot stand up to or apart from awareness." (edited quote)
"The question of who I was stopped and died into this looking and after a while there was a subtle shift that I could only experiene in hindsight and that was when that looking stopped looking for anything, and it was just looking."
"As you quiet down inside you can watch the show without identifying with it."
"One is one. It's not just one with all the good and happy things."
"It was almost as though I wanted to be crucified in every moment of life. If there was a discomfort I'd rush toward it right away."
"I have Ramana Maharshi's picture at home. It's an example to me of how a presence can be captured in a photograph. I've never seen anything like it. Just the eyes … they're looking at you … but they're really looking at you. That picture holds me to such a high account in my daily life because, to me, it is the gaze of truth."
"Everyone has to hear this in the way that fits for them."
"It seems like the only intelligent thing to do in this life is to really look."
"Of course we believe we're separate, because that's been enforced through our whole life."
Compassion as "not wanting anyone to be robbed of the opportunity we have in this precious little life."

ISLAMABAD - The unusual decision to deploy the army in Islamabad is just the latest step in a two-month-old military campaign against the Taliban.
Senior members of the government say the move is designed to block reprisals for army attacks against the Taliban in the North Waziristan area along the Afghan border.
According to Mr. Sharif's opponents, however, the decision to deploy army in Islamabad is really a ploy to block an anti-government protest planned for August 14, led by Imran Khan. Mr. Khan has campaigned for investigations into the 2013 elections and claims that they were rigged by PML-N.
Many have interpreted the move as a sign that Mr. Sharif is nervous about his hold on power only a year after he has been appointed Prime Minister for the third time.

A Double-bill, entitled "Two Intimate" featuring a revival of Dubliner Eugene O'Brien's "Eden" as well as "The Lover" by Harold Pinter, will begin a run later this week at the Dorothy Strelsin Theatre at Abingdon Theatre Complex.
"Eden" premiered at the Abbey Theatre in 2000 and won the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature in 2003. The play had its New York premiere in 2004 at Irish Repertory Theater, and depicts one weekend during the marriage of an Irish couple who haven't been intimate in years.
Breda has dropped some of the weight that's always troubled her and intends to sweep her husband, Billy, off his feet. Billy on the other hand is fixated on the nubile daughter of their friends, Imelda. He plans to resurrect his self-image by gaining Imelda's attention. As they exchange monologues, the audience experiences the differing perceptions of the two protagonists.
In a very unique idea proposed by actor Dan Patrick Brady, men will sit on one side of the house and women will sit on the other, in the hopes that the seating plan will accentuate the psychology of married couples toward infidelity.
"The Lover" is Pinter's 1962 play in which a refined suburban couple invigorates their empty and sterile marriage by a dangerous game of role-playing infidelity. At first, it seems there are three characters in the play; the wife, Sarah, her husband, Richard, and her lover, Max. However, Max is ultimately revealed to be the husband, posing as the interloper. It's a smooth arrangement until the husband, first as the lover, then as himself, tries to stop the game. In the Pinter tradition, this piece is both a cheeky comedy as well as a dark introspective drama.
Each piece explores the psychological dance of marriage and intimacy. In "Eden," Breda is wounded by Billy's neglect and Billy uses temptation as a means of escape from her. "The Lover" presents the more complex problem of a couple who cannot communicate, emotionally or sexually, outside of their ritual game.
Cat on My Head Productions, LLC will present "Two Intimate" May 24 to June 9, 2012 at the Dorothy Strelsin Theatre at Abingdon Theatre Complex. For more information please visit www.twointimate.com

Jim McDougal Had
His Way With Words
By Lloyd Grove
When he died yesterday at age 57, he deprived the world of yet another Whitewater defendant. Until late 1992, he had been the business partner of then-Gov. Bill Clinton and his wife in the notoriously ill-fated Arkansas land project -- the man who enticed them into the deal in the first place.
When Whitewater became the object of a federal investigation, McDougal and his ex-wife, Susan, were at first staunchly loyal to the Clintons. Susan McDougal continues to languish in jail because of her noncooperation. But after Jim's conviction on several counts of fraud, he changed his tune. In the beginning he was the sworn enemy of independent counsel Kenneth Starr, yet by last year he was cooperating with Starr in return for reduced prison time.
But McDougal stopped talking yesterday -- depriving Starr of a potentially damaging witness against Hillary Rodham Clinton (who pointedly did not join the president's statement of condolence to McDougal's family) and silencing, once and for all, the cantankerous, idiosyncratic voice of an Arkansas original.
He sat down for an interview in April 1996, just before he went to the White House to sit in on the president's videotaped deposition in his case. Some of the things he had to say are still memorable.
On Hillary Clinton: "What really irritates me the most, as a Roosevelt Democrat . . . is this constant self-comparison with Eleanor Roosevelt. We didn't get any Eleanor! But we got a lot of Evita. . . . Here's what is, shall we say, infuriating. . . . Everybody's got their own baggage to carry or not carry. But when they get so goddamn sanctimonious, and want to parade themselves as intellectuals, that makes you want to get down and choke them!"
On President Clinton: "He is very likable. He's the kind of fellow that everybody else wants to protect and help."
On Ken Starr: "He's typical of all Republican politicians. They're moral and physical cowards."
On the tenets of Dixie manhood: "As a Southerner, I'm more outraged at what they're doing to the women than what they're doing to me."
On the public image of Arkansas: "You see, the reporters arrived down there with the thought that we're a bunch of savages sitting around an open fire, maybe eating a little human flesh, and that we can't read and write."
On himself: "I never thought of myself as tough. Stubborn. Inordinately stubborn. And sort of a screwball. . . . I become more angelic as I grow older. . . . I suppose there is an upside to this. Obviously, I could have died an obscure fellow, buried in the corner of somebody's pasture. I suppose I've at least left my mark, however small it may be."

Hi everyone! time for another edition of "So What? Wednesday." Hope you can relate. Here's what i'm saying So what? to.
- When I told my Big Bad Husband about our Fashion Truck idea he replied "hmmmm, how pinteresting." I love it when he joins in...
- I'm not sure which team i'm on.....
- My friend (and reader) Sally and I bought maternity tanks at Target. Long and forgiving. Yep.
- It's the middle of March and I already had to get the ant spray out.
- My college son asked me to fly out and help decorate his new "really nice'' house he'll be renting with 3 other swimmers next year. He sent me photos. Can you say "glorified crack-house?"
That's all I seem to have for you today. Keep up the good attitude and just say "so what?"
From your friends at in your back pocket.

T.J. Barnes goes from friend's couch to Jets' 53-man roster
Less than a year ago, Jets defensive tackle T.J. Barnes was sleeping on a friend's couch in Atlanta, without an NFL future.
Less than a year ago, Jets defensive tackle T.J. Barnes was sleeping on a friend's couch in Atlanta, without an NFL future. Now, he's on the Jets' 53-man roster and part of one of the best defensive lines in the league.
Barnes was at his lowest last year around this time. He had just been cut by the Jaguars before the start of the regular season and no NFL team was even sniffing around. He was among the last cuts as preseason ended, a feeling he remembers as "simply hard to take after all you go through." Over the course of the next few hours he lost his phone and missed his flight home.
A friend he met at church in Atlanta offered him a spot on his couch and Barnes took it, even though it wasn't the glamorous NFL lifestyle he had dreamed of and frankly, it was difficult for his massive 6-foot-7 frame to fit on the sofa. But he knew he couldn't go back home, not after being cut.
It looked like his NFL dream would never come to fruition, but before Week 5 he received a call from the Jets asking if he would come to New Jersey for a workout. The Jets had a Monday night game against the Falcons, ironically in Atlanta, and wanted Barnes to do a workout on Saturday. So he flew up and worked out for the Jets during a session he describes as "horrible."
"I just thought it was bad," Barnes said. "I was a little out of shape and heavy. I thought it was awful."
He flew back to Atlanta without a deal, thinking he might be out of football for good. His roommate got tickets for the Monday night game against the Jets and Barnes sat front row to watch New York's surprise victory. No one recognized him on the Jets sideline. It wasn't easy on Barnes, however, who said he left the game early.
"I just had to leave," Barnes said.
Then his phone rang on the drive back to falling asleep on his couch.
"My agent called me and said to expect a call. Then I look at my phone and I'm getting a call. It's the Jets saying, 'We are going to pick you up for the practice squad,' and I'm like, 'What?' I couldn't believe it," Barnes said. "I thought it was that bad when I had my workout. Then I go to the Jets game that night — the team I had just tried out for a day or two ago. I was sitting there watching the game, feet away from the players. It wasn't easy to watch because that was my dream to be there on that sideline.
"Then I get the call and man, it was the best feeling in the world. I wasn't sure I'd ever feel it again."
Barnes had left Georgia Tech early without completing his degree in business management. When the Jaguars cut him, he didn't know what to do next.
"I was so sold that I was going to make the 53 in Jacksonville and I had all my eggs in that basket. I didn't have my degree because I left school early. I really didn't know what was next," Barnes said. "I didn't want to go back home because that felt like I'd be starting over. I knew I could, but I didn't want to."
Barnes finds himself making progress in his first full season with the Jets. Barnes admits to nerves as he waited to find out if he would make the team. He wasn't sure if he would make the practice squad, let alone the official roster. Barnes had a good training camp and preseason. The nose tackle has improved his footwork and the use of his hands.
But he still knew the feeling of missing out on a 53-man roster all too well.
"I was nervous. I didn't hear anything from anybody, I didn't know. My agent hadn't heard anything. I was on pins and needles," Barnes said. "I didn't find out till 5 p.m. They made me wait. It was tough, I'm not going to lie. But it is great to be in the position that I'm in right now, considering where I was this time a year ago on a couch. I'm now in the NFL. It feels great."

Changes made in v1.1
- Quest "The King's Mercenary" can now be completed
- Port Skye Inn,Bank, and Weaponshop are all working now (dockers houses aren't implemented yet)
- The boat now works on light-coloured water (not the open sea that is a lot darker)
- Location added: "The Abandoned Tower"
- Enemies added: "Bandit" and "Bandit Leader"
- Experience requirements per level have been changed dramatically so that after the first few levels, the game becomes quite hard to level up in.
- Set max level to Lv98
- Gold rewards from creatures were tweaked to not give as much gold (they were too generous)
- at Port Skye Inn you can now go upstairs and sleep in a bed, it will cost you 25g and will cure poison and fully restore health and mana.
Known Bugs
Certain roofing and wall materials are traversable and allow the player to walk over roofs etc. (will be fixed in 1.2)
If you exit the boat onto Port Skye you will transport into Port Skye and the boat will be stuck on the right-hand side of port skye where there is no hope of retrieving it (Will be fixed in 1.2)
Remember, I like to know what you think of Arania so far, and I need to know of any bugs, so message me (Traslogan) on moddb.com or leave a comment.

First stop was Liquidation World. I hadn't been there in years.
They have the cheapest prices on clips, pony tail holders etc I have found. .80 cents. for a package. They also had 6 toothbrushes for $2.00
When we were at the check out I found these Strawberry Shortcake sunglasses! To add to my Strawberry Shortcake box. I also found Carebear and Snoopy glasses for 2-4 boxes. They were $1.00 each. I don't buy items for $1.00 too often, but these were too cute to pass up.
Salvation Army had 50% off the entire store. I found a brand new Parchesi game, coloring book, pencil case, Wendy's kids meal toy and a few other things. A bagful for $2.00. I saw the lady behind me, had a brand new Barbie still in the box. And I think the original price was $6.00 and so she would have paid $3.00 for it. Oh how I wished I had that in my cart. How lucky some girl would have been. But I was just thankful for the items I had found.
Michaels had all their Easter clearance at 90% off. They didn't have a whole lot. But they did have some Crosses, which I would have bought had the line not been so long and not moving anywhere:(
We stopped at Value Village. I found 2 small chalkboards. But found the prices were quite expensive. I know I am cheap:) I was quite disappointed. And I was hoping to find just a bit more before coming home. I was praying for one more place.
And there on the way out of the city was another Salvation Army store. I had never seen it there before. So we stopped and went in. Again 50% off the entire store. And here I scored big! Books of stickers for boys and girls for .25 cents.Whistles for .25, maracas .69 cents, trumpets 3 for .69 cents.
And then we found boys t-shirts. They must have been from a youth group or some sort of project. And they had a bible verse on the back! How perfect!! Regular $1.99 and because of the 1/2 price they were just $1.00.
So I bought all that they had.
I personally find it harder to shop for boys.
I have an abundance of girls items.
But not for boys.
So the shirts and musical instruments and stickers, were exactly what I was after.
Here is a small sampling of what I picked up.
I bought lot of the whistles.
They make a neat sound when you blow them.
My boys thought they had to keep at least one, to try out.
The first thing my son said to my husband, was we found such great deals!
Yes God provided an abundance of deals.
Thank you Jesus!
Now to figure out where to store this last haul of supplies:)
Have you found any good deals lately?
Or something that was just perfect to add to your boxes?
