A quick look at your rabbit's living space reveals that you have bought everything your rabbit needs – bowls, litter, water bottles, etc. But wait; are there items that your rabbit may occasionally use for recreation, to make them comfortable while traveling or litter training? If so then Amazon has a wide range of rabbit supplies on their website. Below are a few items you might like.
1) Timothy Hay Baked Small Animal Treats by Kaytee
Your rabbit's favorite food, Timothy Hay, is packed into a tiny biscuit that will give hours of chewy pleasure.
The main ingredient of this biscuit, Timothy Hay, aids in digestion. The treat also contains protein, fat, and moisture. Your rabbit knows that he needs to keep chewing to wear down his ever-growing teeth and will be happy to use this biscuit for this purpose.
Healthy treats for rabbits, supplement the nutrients that already exist in their regular diet. Vets recommend that treats should make up at least 20% of your rabbit's diet.
Next time you're on a long trip and you notice bunny getting restless, hand him a biscuit to keep him busy.

2) Small Animal Grooming Kit by Ware Manufacturing
Did you imagine that rabbit supplies would include a grooming kit? Does your bunny need grooming? If you do not think so then the contents of this package will convince you otherwise.
This kit contains a bristle brush for massaging your rabbit's fur. As you brush bunny's hair consistently, you will notice that its texture improves. To sort the annoying problem of shedding and dead hair, use the pin brush. As you brush your bunny, however, watch out for the tender skin that may be damaged by the different brushes.
The kit also has nail clippers. You need to clip your rabbit's nails often so that he doesn't scratch the furniture. Cut the tips of the nails, however, not the whole nail. Lastly, there is a tasty treat. Now we all know what this is for – distraction! How else will you get your bunny to sit still as you groom him?
Grooming your rabbit is a fun activity for the whole family, giving you an opportunity to interact.

3) Rabbit Soft Harness with Lead by Niteangel
Wouldn't it be nice to take your rabbit out into the backyard? Well, it sure is, unfortunately, as soon as you let him out, he may get the temptation to disappear! A rabbit harness will prevent this from happening.
This rabbit harness from Niteangel is perfect for small rabbits. The comfortable padding and secure Velcro strips make your rabbit feel safe. It comes with a lengthy leash that is a whole 120 centimeters. This gives you control over your bunny while also affording it a modicum of freedom to move about. The harness is fully adjustable.
Rabbits don't usually need long walks. A short stroll around the house is sufficient. With this harness, you can enjoy each other's company as the bunny takes a stroll.

5) Rabbit Vita Drops by Kordon
Has your rabbit been under the weather lately? He may need a boost to regain his energy.
Vita Drops act as supplements to your rabbit's regular diet. Each drop has loads of nutrients in it that will restore your rabbit to perfect health. The product comes in a dispenser similar to that of eye drops. Put a drop or two in your rabbit's water bottle daily, depending on what your vet advises. The package comes with detailed instructions for use.
These drops are also beneficial if you seek to raise healthy rabbits. After all, an extra nutrient or two won't hurt.
The list of rabbit supplies available is endless. You will find it hard to say no to the temptation to spend lots of money on things you may hardly use. As such, draw up a budget before you make any other purchases for your rabbit. Keep your rabbit's life simple and concentrate on items that will improve and enhance the bonding process.

text: One of my favorite things to do these days is to take Russell for a walk to Island View Beach. I love the forest trails around our house, they are beautiful, amazing in fact. But this time of year when it is slightly on the gloomy side the forest can be dark. You know, the kind of forest that conjures up thoughts of cougars and witches and scary winged creatures and things. The beach though, it is bright and fresh and has just the right amount of happy friendly people walking their dog. We went after school today, the girls and I and 3 of Xana's friends. It was lovely. I forgot my camera today but here are some pics from a family walk in October.

Gartner estimates that more than 21 billion things will be connected to the Internet by 2020. Yet today, more than 98 percent of things in the physical world remain unconnected. The growth and convergence of processes, data, and "things" on the Internet will make networked connections more relevant and valuable than ever before, creating unprecedented opportunities for industries and businesses.
Information Technology (IT) has traditionally been adopted as a tool for expediting communication between people and organizations while Operational Technology (OT) had the role of expediting the process to deliver a product or service in a line of business. This model presented a gap in technology convergence with people as the bottleneck of transport between the two disparate systems. IoT is the transformational convergence of those disparate systems into a unified technology environment creating a singular process. The result is enhanced and expedited delivery of information to the people who run organizations and the customers and citizens who rely on them.
The IoT landscape looks different for each industry seeking to leverage technology as a path to innovation. Companies must examine their business operations, existing sensors and connectivity, and analytics capabilities as part of this journey. Solutions must integrate both commercial off-the-shelf and purpose-built technologies, including software, hardware, network, cloud, and analytics platforms.

Tamara Berg—formerly Tamara Hein, she recently got married—was a dietitian at ACMC in Willmar until she decided to go to school to become a physician assistant (PA). Now she's back completing her clinical rotations.
She first got the idea of going back to school several years ago while working with Teri Larson, a former physician assistant in oncology. Teri earned her Master's degree at the University of North Dakota (UND), and while attending school, she mentioned to Tamara that she should look into continuing her education.
But as a busy mom, dietitian and adjunct professor through Kaplan University, she wasn't sure she was ready to add another job as student to that list. After teaching classes for the online nutrition degree program through Kaplan University, she realized if she could teach online, she could learn that way, too. She became confident she could handle getting an online education, while juggling a busy schedule. Tamara made plans to complete her pre-requisites and apply to UND's physician assistant program when her youngest daughter—now a junior in college—graduated high school. Just like that she was a student again.
"'I never expected my daughter and I would be filing for financial aid together," Tamara laughed.
Before she graduates, Tamara has 47 weeks of clinical rotations to complete. Her first rotation was with ACMC-Willmar family medicine providers Dr. Shelly Staska and Gene Beavers, PA-C. She also spent some time with Dr. Timothy Pieh in ophthalmology, Dr. Jon Peterson in podiatry and the radiology department. She's been training with Dr. Staska, physician assistants Gene Beavers, Priscilla Willander and Jim Nedrud, nurse practitioner Lucy Brink and Dr. David Swanson.
"I was really excited to be able to do my clinical rotations at ACMC because of the quality healthcare and variety of specialists at this clinic. I've been fortunate to work with some really great healthcare specialists who are not only compassionate, but have excellent patient care skills. I've learned so much that I can't begin to quantify how beneficial working with them has been," she said.
Going into this experience, she knew that life would be busy. With 32 hours a week in the clinic, a full course load, and studying for boards, her experience as a dietitian has proved to be invaluable in her pursuit to become a physician assistant.
"Working as a dietitian and diabetes educator was a great background for me as a PA student. Learning how to work with patients and work on a multi-disciplinary team has been great help. Plus understanding ACMC's electronic medical records and having experience with dictation has also helped my transition from provider to PA student," she said.
When she graduates next May, Tamara will officially be a family medicine physician assistant. She hopes her background in diabetes education and weight control can one day be incorporated into her practice.
"Change can be scary, but every step I've taken so far to become a physician assistant has been worth it. I can't wait to walk across that stage in May and see my family in the audience, supporting me as I finally achieve my dream of becoming a physician assistant," she said.

'GMA's' Roberts has breast cancer surgery
EmptyNEW YORK -- "Good Morning America" co-anchor Robin Roberts underwent successful surgery for the breast cancer that was diagnosed recently, the network said.
Roberts found out that she had the early stages of breast cancer a few weeks ago after doing a tribute show to "GMA" film critic Joel Siegel, who died of cancer in June. Roberts said last week that she had cancer and that she would be receiving treatment shortly.
"Robin's surgery was very successful today. She has already left the hospital and is home resting," a "GMA" spokeswoman said Friday. Test results are pending, but Roberts said she was told by her doctor that the cancer was caught early.
Roberts will be resting at home at least some of this week and it isn't clear when she'll return to the air.

With large, pliant feathers, the ostrich brush (caldrea.com) is essential for day-to-day cleaning. Great for overhead lighting fixtures, a lambswool duster (totalvac.com) has soft, dense fibers that cling to dust (rather than just move it around).

Spring Sachets
"With these fabric squares, it could not be easier to make cute sachets," crafts editor Blake Ramsey says of the hand-printed Charm Pack 5-inch fabric squares (ploverorganic.com). To start, sew two squares together (because the edges come pinked, there's no need to trim), leaving a 1 1/2-inch opening on one side and a 1/2-inch seam allowance. Fill with mothrepelling lavender buds (thesage.com), and finish sewing the last side. Place in a drawer to keep linens fresh or under a pillow for sweet dreams.

Green Reads
Arbor Day is April 30. Here are come books to get you in the spirit.

Keepers of the Trees (Skyhorse, 2010), by Ann Linnea, tells the stories of people who have dedicated their lives to planting, studying, and conserving trees. Combining gorgeous photography with friendly, authoritative writing, Hugh Johnson's The World of Trees (University of California Press, 2010) is a coffee-table book that will actually be read.

Tom Sturridge has won the lead in Thomas Vinterberg's forthcoming adaptation of Thomas Hardy's Far From the Madding Crowd. The project, from studio Fox Searchlight, will be the Festen director's English language debut. Carey Mulligan and Belgian actor Matthias Schoenaerts – who made his name on Rust & Bone – co-star.
Far From the Madding Crowd focuses on the consequences of a young woman's relationship with three men at the same time. The 1874 novel has previously been adapted for cinema three times, including a notable 1967 version starring Julie Christie and Terrance Stamp .
Sturridge, who featured in On the Road and The Boat that Rocked, has just completed a Tony-nominated run in his Broadway debut, Orphans, opposite Alec Baldwin. In the new film, he will portray the dashing but arrogant Sergeant Troy. Mulligan most recently starred in Baz Luhrmann's adaption of The Great Gatsby and this winter will be seen in the Coen brothers's Inside Llewyn Davis.
The film is due for release next year.

I've heard the rumors and seen evidence on the spring runways, but I remained in denial.
However, last night's Grammy Awards pretty much made it official:
This upcoming season, skin is in.
Yes, in an effort to counter spring's longer skirt lengths, designers are expecting us to show off our bellies.
Oh, this is not good. In fact, this is bad. This is very, very bad.
Unless you're Rihanna, I mean.
She-with-the-perfect-body took the look a little too far last night, giving us a gander not only at her navel in this see-through evening gown, but pretty much everything else.
Do the words 'leave something to the imagination' mean anything to you, Rhi-Rhi?
Want to see who else showed off lots of skin at the Grammys last night? Click through to see the scandalous pics!
Katy Perry seemed to be auditioning for a spot on the Victoria's Secret runway with this blingy bra, super-long skirt, and angel wings. I thought she looked great -- from the neck up.
And you know Kim Kardashian is all about the belly button trend. In fact, this dress was actually modest for Miss K.
Ciara was another Grammy attendee who showed off her stomach in a glam cut-out gown. Glee's Jenna Ushkowitz tried to copy Rihanna's peekaboo look, but looked instead like she wrapped herself up in a black ribbon. And Paramore's Hayley Williams bared her abs in a see-through LBD.
Oddly, I noticed that no celebrity moms rocked this trend last night.
Hmm. Wonder why?
Will you show off your stomach this spring?

Europe remains an attractive goal for emigrants from Senegal despite efforts to seal its borders to people from outside the industrialised world.
But non-governmental groups and leftwing politicians have warned at a panel discussion at the World Social Forum in Dakar that a strict policy will not achieve its aim of controlling the flow of migrants.
"For some time now only a few people have been trying to leave Senegal by boat," said Moustapha Djeng, a fisherman from the village of Hann Bel-Air outside the capital Dakar, as a Spanish patrol boat appeared on the horizon.
The coast was a popular starting point for people trying to reach the Canary Islands – a Spanish archipelago – until the European border security agency Frontex launched operations a few years ago.
Yet it remains almost impossible to control the 700-kilometre coastline and people still succeed in entering European territory illegally. Efforts to prevent migrants from trying their luck seem half-hearted despite awareness campaigns by a Senegalese business association.
The task is made difficult by the fact that Europe is widely regarded as a paradise.
Lamine Konté, a young Senegalese who lives in Switzerland and is married to a Swiss, says he has met numerous fellow countrymen who came to Europe hoping for an easier life but who now do not even have the money to return to Africa.
He says people back in Senegal seem unconvinced if he tries to warn them against high hopes of migrating to Switzerland.
"But my argument lacks credibility and I can't blame them for disbelieving me because I stayed in Switzerland despite the difficulties," Konté said.
"It is true that in many cases emigrants manage to send back some money after a while. It may be enough to send the children to school and provide a better life for the family back home."
With the economic crisis having a global impact the hurdles to emigrating legally to Europe have become insurmountable.
Worsening labour conditions
And those who have made it to Europe are facing additional difficulties.
"Labour conditions have become increasingly precarious and the authorities have adopted a tough line on job permits," said Guglielmo Bozzolini. The director of Ecap, an organisation for further education in Switzerland, has been attending a meeting of trade unionists at the forum in Dakar.
The current situation serves as a perfect pretext for many countries to marginalise foreign workers and eventually exclude them from society as illegal immigrants, non-governmental groups warn.
Massimo D'Alema, a former Italian prime minister, says it makes no sense to divert the flow of African migrants to countries such as Libya known for their dubious human rights record.
He acknowledges that it is necessary to try to block illegal immigration, but he says Europe must never forget that it needs immigrants simply because the active workforce will naturally decrease by more than 90 million people by 2050.
"Europe will need more than 30 million immigrants within the next 30 years if the difference between the active and passive [older] population is to remain in balance," D'Alema said.
"It is therefore essential to welcome migrants as human beings and not as a potential danger," he added.
Panel participants also stressed that migrants are often an important element of development aid in Africa. With their remittances from Europe they have become the second largest foreign investors on the African continent.
D'Alema remains sceptical whether it will be possible to control migration as long as the gap in living standards between the industrialised and the developing world remains as big as it is now.
"We need sustainable development which offers the young generation prospects so they don't have to risk their lives in the search for a more settled future," D'Alema said.

2013 – Objekt (UK)
TJ Hertz has become one of the most admired artists of the year under his moniker Objekt, after the release of his first white label in January; two delectable slabs of techno-infused dubstep – wild, gurgling progressive works that build and grow from the simplest sounds to points of unimaginable intensity. This was furthered with the arrival of Objekt #2, carrying "Unglued" and "CLK Recovery". Where DJing fits in with his musical persona it's not the end result of the urge to create; the other half of his life is as a software developer for Native Instruments.

Welcome to Lows & Highs, a Stories from the Stairs weekly-ish feature! Feel free to join in by posting your lows and highs from the week in the comments or by posting a link to your own lows and highs blog post.
If you have not noticed, I took an abrupt break from my 31 Days series, Abby's Apps. I honestly lost interest in writing about apps every day and life got busy. After what I thought would be a one-day hiatus, I decided to stop altogether because I had other projects needing my attention. Instead, I plan to start writing about apps or other tech tips once a week.
I had a long weekend, thanks to parent-teacher conferences and teacher inservice days where school staff like me do not have to go to work. I spent most of the weekend sewing and cooking. I am thrilled to have finished my first purse refashion and my Halloween costume. The original purse was made of buttery-soft leather with heavy hardware; I loved the former but the latter kept me from enjoying it regularly. I removed the hardware and the leather that had holes from the hardware and remade the top and straps with this gray chevron/zig-zag fabric. In the end, I eliminated over half the original weight!
I am not posting photos of my costume yet because Brian and I are keeping them secret from our college students until Friday. You can, however, see photos of our previous costumes: Waldo and Carmen Sandiego (2012), Mayhem and Flo (2013).
What craft or sewing projects have you been working on lately?

To the editor:
We who live in Wasco County benefit from our diversity of business, industry, and agriculture, and we even have the option of choosing a city or rural lifestyle. All this variety means that the projects we advance and the challenges we face are likely to be equally diverse.
So when we vote for county commissioner, we should look for a candidate with a broad range of skills rather than a specialist or a person who focuses on a few issues.
With her experience in both business and agriculture, Bridget Bailey is uniquely qualified to appreciate the differing concerns in our county.
Moreover, her legal experience and persistent attitude suit well for an office that requires sorting through complex statutes and guiding projects over the long haul. I urge you to vote Bridget Bailey for County Commissioner.

Enigmata: Stellar War is the newest game by KidGamez, developer of two other Enigmata games, which are seemingly part of another series, at least part of another genre. Unfortunately, I'm not too familiar with the storyline, but, Enigmata: Stellar War takes the stance of a lone squad of warriors revolting against the current leader of their galaxy, for various reasons. The gameplay is unlike the previous games. In the previous games it was much more of a space shooter, with an independent, maneuverable ship, but in Enigmata: Stellar War, it is much more of a tower defense game, with excellent More >

BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) - The make-up of the Baton Rouge City Court may likely change in the coming months. Currently, three white judges sit on the court with two black judges. That's about to change with Judge Susan Ponder retiring, according to some.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 states judicial districts will reflect the make-up of the community. The racial make-up in Baton Rouge after the 2010 census is 55 percent black and 34 percent white. A lawsuit has been filed in federal court, but the judge wanted the Louisiana Legislature to fix it.
Rep. Alfred Williams, D-Baton Rouge, is the author of the bill that failed on the House floor Tuesday by a vote of 44-40. Rep. Pat Smith, D-Baton Rouge is disappointed in the bill's failure.
"I can't speak for those folks," said Smith. "All I can say is somebody evidently told them that this wasn't the right thing to do."
So now, rather than a legislative mandate to change the make-up of the court, a lawsuit will determine who's right.
"So now, what's going to happen for the taxpayers of the community?" asked Rep. Ted James, D-Baton Rouge. "Number one, we're going to have to get through another lawsuit."
Four Republican state representatives from Baton Rouge - Steve Carter, Eric Ponti, Hunter Green and Franklin Foil - all voted against the re-districting measure.
"Number one, I did not want to create another sub-district," said Franklin Foil. "I think if we're going to create a district for Baton Rouge city judge, it should be a city-wide position."
Federal District Court Judge Brian Jackson is hearing the case.
"At the end of the day, this is going to cost the city, parish, state millions of dollars in litigation costs," Williams said.

Breaking News Emails
PARIS -- French President Francois Hollande issued a written communique on Saturday announcing that he has reached "the end of his communal life" with longtime companion Valerie Trierweiler, confirming reports that the couple had broken up over reports he was having an extramarital affair.
"I am making it known that I ended my communal life with Valerie Trierweiler," Hollande said, adding that he was speaking personally and not as the head of state because the matter concerned "his private life."
The statement, delivered through the state-backed Agence France Presse news agency, ended a drawn out scandal for the French president that began two weeks ago when a tabloid magazine, "Closer," published photos that it said were evidence of his secret affair with actress Julie Gayet.
In a report on its website, the Le Parisien newspaper quoted an unidentified member of Trierweiler's entourage as saying, "He consulted with her and and told her about it. She accepts the situation as fact but she let him take the initiative on his act."
Hollande had promised the French public during a New Year press conference that he would clarify his relationship with Trierweiler before he travelled to the U.S. on an official visit on Feb. 11. The first lady was to have joined him on that trip.
Instead, she will travel to India alone on Sunday as a normal French citizen for the humanitarian charity Action against Hunger. The journey to Bombay was planned a while ago before the scandal broke and organizers have said the trip is being paid by private donors and not by French taxpayers.
Reuters contributed to this report.


text: 5 from the same press in themes: Quick Food, Comfort Food, Bowl Food, Finger Food, Sweet Food. These are in quite good shape include some highlighting of recipes I thought looked interesting at the time as well as some notes or ideas on ingredient changes made in pen. Lots of photographs. I've not cooked from these a lot. What I've made was worthwhile, but I find my style of cooking doesn't match up well with the indexing and concepts of these books. The Everything Thai Cookbook This was given to me as a gift, but I already have a copy in another format that I've marked up for my uses. Includes some blue highlighter on the cover as it was bought as a discounted book. I have a few other books in this series. I judge them to sacrifice strict authenticity for simplicity and approachability for less experienced cooks. I've enjoyed what I've made out of these cookbooks. The Great Ribs Book Fun pictures some interesting flavor combinations. In very good condition. $2.00 per book plus shipping. If you want them all then I think $20 which will include shipping as a bundled deal for continental US purchasers. Prefer paypal for payment.

Students at Crystal Lake Middle School recently got a taste of what health career opportunities could be available to them once they reach adulthood.
Representatives from area hospitals, fire rescue teams, and vocational training centers set up displays during the Career Day program held March 26.
The Broward County Sheriff's Office was on hand to discuss substance abuse. Officials from Broward Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Services also made presentations.
Juanita Williams, a Crystal Lake instructor and coordinator of the event, said the sessions on health careers were a tremendous success.
"Students were able to assist in administering blood pressure checks, witness cardiopulmonary resuscitation and visit displays on nutrition," Williams said.
Other organizations attending the conference included Atlantic Vocational and Technical Center, Pompano Beach Fire Rescue, Holy Cross Hospital, North Broward Medical Center and the Broward Heath Department.

So the way people read blogs has changed, I am on Bloglovin and you can follow me here!
My breakfast this weekend: mango, strawberries, and kiwi. I love fruit so much and can't wait for all the summer fruits to come into season!
This is my favorite salad right now; mixed greens, cut strawberries, and Ken's Raspberry Walnut Vinaigrette dressing. It's delicious!
My Mother came by and dropped off these gorgeous flowers, they've all bloomed and I've really enjoyed them all week long.
When she came over, she brought along my Grandmother and my Mother-in-Law joined us as well and we made bows for my shower this weekend. What she has planned for them, I don't know, but I can't wait to see!
I'm in the homestretch! I reached my 3rd trimester and can't wait to meet our little bunny.
The view of my feet are getting smaller and smaller each day.
I saw this shirt on Pinterest and couldn't stop laughing. Oh how I'm easily amused!
On my drive to work, I saw a car that had "I speak reindeer" plastered all over, then when I passed him I saw this large man, with a full white beard, dressed in a red jacket. I couldn't believe it! What a fun surprise! I should have passed him my wish list!
My two favorite lip products: NYX Sugar Pie (the perfect gloss! It was also a part of my Beauty Wishlist) and Maybelline Baby Lips Peach Kiss. Both are great alone or layered together.
Some pretties I picked up this weekend, some statement earrings for my baby showers and I finally found Essie's Go Ginza! I featured this color in my Beauty Wishlist post and have searched for this for a few weeks and I love the color! It's the perfect balance between pink and lilac.
I'm heading back to blonde and started with some highlights. The color is lighter in person than in the shot, I'll try and get some better pics. I'm really happy with the outcome and can't wait to get to full blown blonde!
Be sure link up and share your IG pics!

In search of Gaelic, my road trip to the Isle of Lewis
Last week, in an attempt to improve my spoken Gaelic and try and do something about my horrendous English accent, I nipped up to the Isle of Lewis for a couple of days.
Being a bit of a ferry geek, I was keen to take a trip on CalMac's new ferry the Loch Seaforth. Like most folks I have spoken to, I find it smart and swish but full of design quirks that beggar belief. The main thing is the televisions. Gees! There are TVs everywhere! Even in the lounge where you sit with the dog, all the seats face one way and there is even a TV on the wall BEHIND all the seats, so you'd have to crick your neck 180 degrees to even see it.
Nice ferry CalMac. Just ditch the tellies, please!
Not one was showing BBC Alba of course, but full marks for the Gaelic announcements on board.
My accommodation in the village of Achmore (near Leurbost) was at a B&B called Westend, run by Gaelic Tutor and local celeb Maggi (Magaidh) Smith.
You'll see on Magaidh's sign something I wish other Gaelic-speaking B&Bs would do - be PROUD of the Gaelic spoken! I was welcomed with tea and biscuits and a warm craic in Gaelic. It was then that I realised that I'm not as fluent as I would like to be, but hey. We spoke English when I couldn't cope any more, so don't feel that you need to speak Gaelic if you don't want to. As is the mantra at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, it is all about just using the Gaelic that you have, no more and no less.
For £30 per night including a nice brekky of fresh fruit, muesli, cereal, and yogurt, it was a nice place to stay. The room was cosy, clean and comfy. It does lack a desk but Magaidh allowed me to use her camping table in the laundry room. Wifi ('island' speed) is included. OK for basic browsing, but don't try and download anything.
The new, immaculate shower room and WC is directly across the hall, and as this is the only guest room Magaidh has, you have exclusive use.
Like many islanders, Magaidh has about 395 jobs on top of all the charity and voluntary work she does. Conversation opportunities were limited to breakfast, and a chat in the evening - pretty much the same as any B&B host. However, for an additional fee you can book her for an hour or so if you need to go through anything you're stuck on. It's definitely worth calling for a chat first if you are coming here on an informal language break.
Most of my Gaelic conversation was with friends that I had met beforehand. However, one evening Magaidh was running a wee cèilidh in Stornoway and I was invited to that. Sadly, there was limited opportunity to speak Gaelic as most of the native speakers spoke to me in English as usual.
All in all I had a nice time and enjoyed my autumn break on the beautiful Isle of Lewis. Every time I visit Lewis, I fall in love with it just a little bit more.
As for the Gaelic, you will get nowhere near as much from such a break as you would from a short course at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig - here there is far more of the 'holiday' element. However, you'll get a stack more opportunity to use what Gaelic you have by staying here with Magaidh and being introduced to local folks than you would by staying in an impersonal hotel.

TV Fiction Turns Real: Episode Two
Ok, this is a little late, so please forgive me. But even after all this time, I still think it's interesting. Especially since it has a similar feel to my earlier post about Dr. Venture and Super Science being real.
On Monday, Feb. 25, "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" aired a new episode on Fox. I love that show. At one point in the episode, Cameron (the girl Terminator, protector and aid to the Connors) infiltrated a power station and damaged it in such a way that massive blackouts ensued nearby. She then took advantage of the commotion caused by these blackouts to gather secret information.
On Tues, Feb. 26, in real life, "Widespread outages [were] reported in Florida … [because] a problem with Florida's electrical grid caused a nuclear plant to automatically shut down … and intermittently cut power to up to 3 million people…."
I see three options for an explanation.
Option #1: This whole thing was pure coincidence.
Option #2: Synchronicity is at work, and Dorothy will soon visit the Dark Side of the Rainbow.
Option #3: An Artificial Intelligence has already become self-aware, and is highly amused by the stories of SkyNet. This amusement exists to such an extent that the AI refers to itself by the name "SkyNet," and will attempt to act out what it sees in all forms of media referencing the Terminator. After all, SkyNet see, SkyNet do.If you enjoyed this post, I'd be delighted to have you as a subscriber to my RSS feed.

Every woman is unique. The very part that makes her a woman is as unique as her fingerprints. Her most private womanly parts are the labia majora and labia minora. Some woman have large labia, just as many woman are large breasted; it is perfectly normal to have large labia. Childbirth can affect the size of the labia minora, as can aging and weight gain or weight loss. As we age the tissues in the genital area can sag a bit, just like breasts sag over time.
It is fairly rare, but occasionally a woman will develop labia lacerations to her labia minora, which are the inner lips. The labia majora are the fatty outer lips that cover and protect the inner lips that are usually thin and delicate like the petals of a flower. Sometimes the friction of intercourse can cause labia lacerations; which can be incredibly painful to this delicate area. Women with larger inner labia may experience pain and bleeding from intercourse. To help prevent shearing, which can cause labia lacerations, women should apply a lubrican't prior to having sex.
The inner labia (minora) may differ from woman to woman. They may be thin and delicate, or thick and bumpy. Labia minora are flaps that may be large and long or small and short, but in essence they look similar to butterfly wings. In some women the labia minora will become so large and long that they hang down below the labia majora. It is fairly rare, but labia lacerations can happen when the inner labia hang down and become stuck to the inner thigh or become pinned between the leg and the underwear. The act of walking and sitting can cause enough shearing action to cause labia lacerations, which is bothersome and painful.
Many woman that are prone to labia lacerations decide to have their labia minora surgically reduced; this surgical procedure is called a labiaplasty. When the labia minora lacerate from shearing it is excruciatingly painful. Labiaplasty is a very painful surgery; however, the post surgical pain is only temporary, and heals very quickly. The expected outcome from undergoing labiaplasty is to prevent labia lacerations.
Generally, you might not give much thought to your labia; however, if you are one of those women that have long inner labias that hang below your outer labias, and they become lacerated from shearing action between your legs, then all your attention will on that part of your body because there is severe pain. There is no need to suffer in silence; make an appointment as soon as possible to be examined by your physician. If you suffer from labia lacerations, your doctor may feel it is necessary for you to undergo labiaplasty. Most women who have labiaplasty are happy with the results.
A woman that has had a labiaplasty, to prevent labia lacerations, should always follow her doctors post operative instructions. If her doctor has directed her to abstain from sexual activity for a period of time, it is to allow the area to heal completely. She should keep the area clean and dry to prevent an infection from forming. When drying this area, she should always blot it dry to prevent friction that may lead to more discomfort and irritation.

John 6.16-21
At nightfall his disciples went down to the sea, got into their boat, and pushed off to cross the water to Capernaum. Darkness had already fallen, and Jesus had not yet joined them. By now a strong wind was blowing and the sea grew rough.
When they had rowed about three or four miles they saw Jesus walking on the sea and approaching the boat. They were terrified, but he called out, "It is I, do not be afraid." Then they were ready to take him aboard, and immediately the boat reached the land they were making for.

The arguments that come up here are from people who *have* made a choice. But if you have made a choice, you're not in the target group for the default. Right? As I see it, when you install Debian you're either an archetypical Debian hacker running some weirdo^Wperfect setup you've refined over the years (or soon-to-be version of the same), or you just don't care. For people who just don't care, are you doing them a favour by installing xfce rather than GNOME? I don't think so. Most of the things people hate about GNOME are things that GNOME is doing to specifically target people who just don't care. Are you doing the archetypical (perhaps still wannabe) Debian hacker a favour by choosing xfce? Possibly - but I think it's wrong to confound these two populations. Catering for the hackers is the same as saying that Debian is for Debian hackers, don't-cares go home. IMHO. Of course you can change the installer UI, etc., but when we're talking about the default, that's the message. Another side of the coin is momentum. Both GNOME and KDE have a lot of momentum. They are drivers for the Linux application landscape. E.g. they both are actively being ported to Wayland. IMHO a don't-care is in a much better long-term position with GNOME or KDE on his computer than one of the smaller environments. Ole

Clive Staples Lewis, commonly known as C.S. Lewis, was a novelist, poet, academic, medievalist, literary critic, essayist, lay theologian, broadcaster, lecturer, and Christian apologist.
"I would not know how to advise a man how to write. It is a matter of talent and interest. I believe he must be strongly moved if he is to become a writer. Writing is like a 'lust,' or like 'scratching when you itch.' Writing comes as a result of a very strong impulse, and when it does come, I for one must get it out." (Taken from an interview with Lewis posted on CBN.com)
Writing Tips from C.S. Lewis (italicized portions are my own comments):
1. Turn Off the Radio
And I imagine any other disruption that takes your mind off the task of writing.
2. Read good books and avoid most magazines
To write well, fuel your imagination with quality books. Not every book that is a bestseller or trending is well written.
3. Write with the ear, not the eye
Read the sentence aloud and remove unnecessary words. Rambling sentences slow down the story.
4. Write only about things that interest you
Your writing will sound more genuine if you write what you know and have a passion about.
5. Be clear
Remember that readers can't know your mind. Don't forget to tell them exactly what they need to know to understand you.
6. Save odd and ends of writing attempts
Lewis had a habit of saving his unfinished work. In 1950 he retrieved a page he'd written in 1940 and eventually developed it into The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the first novel in The Chronicles of Narnia series.
I've found that one sentence can spark an entire story. Keep a notepad handy for "aha" moments!
7. You need a well-trained sense of word-rhythm, and the noise of a typewriter will interfere
Generally this isn't too much of a concern with computers, but the act of writing a thought by hand, stimulates me to remember it and feels very elemental.
8. Know the meaning of every word you use
If I don't know the meaning of a word, I type it into the Google search bar (and don't forget to use spell check)!

HOWARD LAKE, WAVERLY, WINSTED, MN – According to policy, school officials at the Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted School District are allowed to conduct routine inspections of the outside of students' vehicles when parked on school property.
Officials are also allowed to search the inside of vehicles if there is a "reasonable suspicion that the search will uncover a violation of law and/or school policy or rule."
Board Member Charles Bush questioned the wisdom of these policies at the April 10 school board meeting, stating that the school could be opening itself up for litigation.
"It's invasive – terribly invasive," Bush said. "I don't want our principals to be police officers. If there is a problem, we should call the authorities."

Elle Macpherson is engaged to her billionaire boyfriend Jeffrey Soffer.
A source revealed the engagement to Access Hollywood. The supermodel reportedly will move to Florida to be with Soffer.
Macpherson and Soffer previously dated for two years after ending their relationship in March 2012.
The couple apparently got back together after Soffer injured his vertebrae in a November helicopter crash, according to Us Weekly.
Macpherson was previously married to fashion photographer Giles Bensimon in the 1980s. She has two sons with ex-boyfriend Arpad Busson.
The former supermodel was the host of NBC's competition show Fashion Star, but was replaced by Louise Roe.
Season two of Fashion Star airs on Fridays at 8pm ET on NBC.

I want to sew using broken materials like I had imagined nearly 10 years back. I want to show people how they can do it too. I want to learn as much as possible and see as much as possible in between. I'm 26 and I'm not exactly sure how the fire in me rekindled between 22 and now but I'm going with it. It sounds cheesy but it's true, thank you for being here.
For now I want to list all the past blogs I'm happy to have posted:
1. Mothers & Fathers
2. I felt very inspired by all the research that went into my women's month series but these few where I painted over the past images were among my favorites: Marianne Faithfull, Jean Seberg and Elizabeth Taylor.
3. You can tell by my Pierrot Le Fou post that it is easily my favorite film. I put similar detailed effort in my post about Moonrise Kingdom too.
4. Funny Face hits home for me and in my first outfit post ever, I wear something similar to Jo Stockton's opening scene. This second and last outfit post perfectly shows how timid I was about the whole thing, something I hope to get more comfortable with this year. Also I loved my wall then, it was a ripped Picasso edition Life magazine I bought for a dollar at a yard sale.
5. Now you may have noticed how I painted the frames above, I had such a small budget but I enjoyed the challenge. In this DIY Painted Headboard I use the same paint samples, some masking tape and a sliced cabbage to make my room a little less dull.
6. I hope to make more helpful-in-some-small-way posts like these in the future: Be Okay in Loneliness, Writing Letters and my personal favorite (perhaps not so helpful for day to day) is How to be a Spy and Famous Women Spies.
7. These whole peach pies are bloody fantastic. I still use this as my go-to sweet treat to share with friends. There's something so satisfying and cute about the whole thing.
8. I still very much identify with this design philosophy: Style with a dash of gamine, a bit of Lolita, a well-developed sense of humor.
9. This 17 smiles post is almost too much for my blushing cheeks to handle.
10. Miroslava will always be my top fashion icon. Love love love her!
11. Goals : 1930 photo of bad ass girls in different collars is cooler than I'll ever be.
12. This post of two different bloggers wearing my creations makes it clear to me that I need to continue creating, it brings me joy.
13. Bow-chicka-wowow
14. I really do want to paint someone something like this someday.
15. Sometimes I get in these moods that is best described as pink.
16. As much as I love dressing up, I enjoy a good dress down too.
17. With February just around the corner, I think I will try these old designs out. The red and white one is calling my name!
Seventeen things in the year '17. I have a good feeling about you.

text: In updating Numeric to take advantage of the new features in Python, I've come across the need to attach a Python-written function as a method to a C-builtin. I don't want to inherit, I just want to extend the methods of a builtin type using a Python function. I was thinking of updating the new type objects dictionary with a new entry that is a descriptor object. It seems that the descriptor mechanism makes this a relatively straightforward thing. My question is, can I use the already-available Descriptor objects to do this, or will I need to define another Descriptor object. (Perhaps a PythonMethod descriptor object to complement the Method Descriptor). Any hints will be helpful. -Travis Oliphant

One week till payday....
by, 08-15-2008 at 09:26 AM (1326 Views)
This has been an unusual week money wise....
Here's what has happened.
#1. My net pay is considerably less than normal because I have started to pay back my employer for my oil prebuy...to the tune of $1k. That's only for 200 gallons folks. I pay $.40 per gallon price protection, so if the price goes below the $4.42/gal that i paid initially, I'll get that lower price, and it will NEVER go higher than 4.42.
#2. My car battery died. Back in March I got slammed in a parking lot. (Ins. company concluded that it was MY fault...but whatever...she had no damage, I had $1k worth. MY deductible is $500.00. The following Monday, my brakes went. There went my bodywork money. I still have the insurance check....it's useless to me now. Anyway...my battery was split right down the front...leaking acid everywhere. I'm lucky I think....but I did have to buy a new battery, and I bought the CHEAPEST one at $43.00.
#3. I'm getting serious about systematically fixing up the interior of my home, because I intend to sell it in 3 years time. We're talking paint mostly, but damn...paint is expensive! So when I went into Wal-Mart to buy the battery, I also bought a can of paint for $11.83...knowing that it would be some time before I returned to Wal-Mart.
So here it is, 7 days from payday. I have $91.03 left in my checkbook, (my bank says I have $70.00 something, gotta look into that) will need at LEAST $30.00 more in gas before next Friday morning....and have not paid my electric bill, which just came yesterday. It could be much worse....but damn...*L* It could be better.
SO, Liss, if you're reading, or anyone else for that matter...In October, I have a 3rd paycheck....all of my bills are covered in the first and last check of October....and I've already budgeted my usual $100.00 for gas, from the 3rd one. What is the BEST way for me to use this money???
I have a medical bill, balance of $122.00
I have no money set aside for xmas.
I am going to need rear brakes, but parts only, my bf and i will do the labor ourselves.
Thought about paying the rest of the cars ins. for the year...
Also thought about putting it in savings...to go towards my $1000.00 emergency fund...(I do not trust myself to put it in savings connected to my checkbook, it's TOO easy to use) I was considering giving it to my grandmother to put in her safe, or my parents etc...
I'd better get to work, and start earning that paycheck.*L*
Happy Friday.

text: Motorola is taking their sweet time in getting ICS rolled out to their devices! Ice Cream Sandwich was made available almost half a year ago. Motorola did release an upgrade rollout chart a few months back. It however did not specify any time table as to when it would have the update out. The Atrix and Photon are scheduled for Q3 2012. Hopefully the ICS update comes out before Jelly Bean Android 5.0! Sometimes it makes you wonder if we will ever see the release on these Motorola devices. It is always nice to see a leak here or there to at least remind us that the manufacturer is still working on it. DroidForums member Dave12308 found a new update in the Cheescake app labeled 5.5.905. This is not ICS, In fact it looks like the only change here is the CDMA radio, but this is the latest version of GingerBread available and is hopefully a step towards an ICS release. In the past Cheescake updates were notorious for leaving folks stranded on a leaked build with no easy way back to the official upgrade path. However this leak appears to be pretty safe. Dave12308 says that not only is it Rootable via Motofail, but you can also FXZ back to .902 to get yourself back to the update path. To install just download the file, drop it on your sdcard (no need to rename it), boot into stock recovery, and choose the .zip. Pretty simple. What are you waiting for Grab the file here

As usual, any photos seen here are for sale, even if they've not yet made it onto my website.
For my birthday last year, from my family, I received a helicopter ride over the Peak District - following the route of the Dambusters and taking in Chatsworth House. For someone who has never flown before in any way whatsoever, this was quite exciting.
There was the general feeling of flying which was one thing in itself, especially in something as manoeuvrable as a helicopter - but to see places I know so well, paths I've walked so many times, and imposing edges look so tiny - was quite amazing. I was lucky to have booked on a day with the most spectacular skies possible - with heavy showers and sun providing quite a show. In terms of photography - this was obviously a whole new challenge... I decided to take my 24-40mm lens and circular polariser - as I knew I'd be shooting through the windows of the helicopter - and this turned out to be a very, very good plan. You never get high enough to need more than 70mm and the polariser was a life saver regarding the reflections and glare in the windows. In the small space of the helicopter it's hard work to constantly be changing the angle of polarisation, composing around the window bars, avoiding unwanted reflections and still achieving a composition that works - but at least a few times I feel like I have achieved this.
Whilst the following images may change, and be updated, as I've rushed to get them sorted in time... here are just some of the views I was fortunate enough to take in.

Graduate Certificates at the University of Pittsburgh
University Council on Graduate Study
University of Pittsburgh
May 6, 2002
A certificate program at the graduate level is described in Regulations Governing Graduate Study at the University of Pittsburgh as follows:
A certificate program at the graduate level is a coherent set of courses and related work in a particular area. The minimum credit requirement for a certificate is 15 credits, of which 12 credits must be completed at the University of Pittsburgh. Normally, a certificate is an award granted at the graduate level only to persons receiving graduate degrees or persons who enter with graduate degrees and wish advanced training in some specific area. It is often an interdisciplinary program and may be entered by students pursuing different degree programs. If earned in conjunction with a degree program, a certificate must require additional work. In some professional schools a particular certificate program may be designed for students who are not pursuing a master's degree. In this case admission requirements must be equivalent to admission requirements for a master's degree. A student must be formally admitted into a certificate program; the certificate may appear on the transcript as a degree goal and will appear on the final transcript as an awarded certificate. (Revised 1998)
At the University of Pittsburgh certificate programs differ in the kinds of students they serve and their goals. To assist in the review of such programs we list below definitions of the three types of graduate certificates. Each certificate program must meet the requirements discussed above. In addition it should meet the goals of certificates of its particular type.
Definition of Types of Graduate Certificates:
- Postbaccalaureate: To be admitted to a postbaccalaureate certificate program, a student must have earned a baccalaureate degree at an accredited institution and meet the University's minimal requirements for admission to graduate school. Normally all courses are at the graduate level. As a minimum requirement, at least half of the credits required for the certificate must be earned in graduate courses and no lower-level undergraduate courses may count toward the certificate. If a student is subsequently admitted to a master's program, the credits earned in the certificate, if accepted by that program, may count toward completion of the master's program. These certificate programs are usually aimed at meeting the needs of working adults, searching for changes in careers.
- Graduate: To be admitted to a graduate certificate program, a student must already have earned a master's degree or be in the process of earning a graduate degree at the University of Pittsburgh. Normally all courses are at the graduate level. As a minimum requirement, at least half of the credits must be earned in graduate courses and no lower-level undergraduate courses may count toward the certificate. In a few fields, separate certificates are offered for master's students and for doctoral students, and in the latter program all courses must be at the graduate level. Certificates are awarded upon successful completion of the required program and the award of the graduate degree. They should require additional work beyond the graduate degree. These graduate certificates are used to enhance existing degree programs and to enable the student to show a breadth of study to future employers.
- Post-Professional: To be admitted to a post-professional program, a student must have earned a first professional degree or a professional master's degree in a particular professional field. All courses must be at the graduate level. The certificate usually serves to provide additional and up-to-date expertise to a person who has earned the first professional degree.

Reigning MLS Cup champions Sporting broke a four-game losing streak with a 4-0 thrashing of struggling Chivas USA at the StubHub Center.
It saw Peter Vermes' side close to within two points of Eastern Conference leaders DC United, while it extended Chivas USA's winless run to 10 matches.
The visitors needed until the 39th minute to open the scoring through Dom Dwyer, who set the club's single-season scoring record with his 19th of the campaign.
Graham Zusi's wonderful lofted pass found Dwyer and the prolific goalscorer finished emphatically from inside the area.
Before half-time, it was 2-0.
Dwyer released Toni down the right and his shot struck the post before Benny Feilhaber stretched to put away the rebound.
Zusi added another in the 52nd minute as he cut in from the left before firing into the bottom corner.
Substitute Claudio Bieler added polish to the scoreline with three minutes remaining.
The Argentine cut out Jhon Hurtado's attempted back pass before rounding goalkeeper Dan Kennedy and finishing into an open goal.
The Sounders moved four points clear atop the Western Conference with an entertaining 3-2 win over Real Salt Lake.
Goals from Lamar Neagle, a stunning long-range effort, and Obafemi Martins had cancelled out Real Salt Lake midfielder Javier Morales' opener.
Joao Plata equalised for the visitors in Seattle in the 50th minute, only for them to be reduced to 10 men soon after when Nat Borchers denied Martins an obvious goalscoring opportunity.
The Sounders looked set to be denied until the 94th minute, when Australian substitute Andy Rose blasted a loose ball past Nick Rimando.
