"Sudden Changes"
Hard to believe that
this what it looked like,
looking out
our front door
Just last Week!!!
Did I mention
Last Week?
Last Week!
Snow shut this town down!
I was awfully-horribly sick the whole time.
My work shut down for 2 days.
I took advantage of it and tried to get well.
As a result of being so sick I lost my voice for 4 days.
The Mr. LOVED it!
So this wonderful day,
{yes, TODAY!
Right now...}
I get a chance to do this..
Open our patio doors and let the fresh air in..
Awwwww....I love
the feel of the warm sunshine..
and the smell of the air...
{no hatin'. It's 76 degrees out..:) }
The Mr. found a leaf in the pool.
So, the whole thing got a
Once Over.
In Our lil town.
On beautiful mornings,
this is where I sit and this is my view.
The sun is warm on your face and just a nice
welcome to the Day ahead.
I love it.
I sit here, sip on my tea, and just
think ...
He's so funny.
He's a fanatic about this pool.
Which, I really appreciate he is.
Because you'll never see me cleaning this thing!
I would fall in.
I can't swim as it is...
I can float on devices and that's it.
Bless his Heart. :)
Handsome Man :)
Even our pets are enjoying the beautiful weather!
Okay, this is our therm. for the pool.
{isn't he cute? with his lil' sunglasses!??
I freaked when I saw him! sorry..he's a lil dirty}
But I dip my toes in the pool,

This is our Mr. frog-dude who keeps the pool
He hangs out with the cool duck.
And my beautiful
Valentine's Day
flowers that the Mr.
sent to my work :)
Love him so. :)
That's all for now!
Have a beautiful day :)

The quote 'show must go on' also applies to social media influencers – you have to frequently come up with new, fresh content ideas for your social media channels. However, that is not so easy. Sometimes you are just blocked. Thinking of that, we gatheres some ideas of what you can do.
One of the reasons why people like social media influencers so much is because they are very relatable. Therefore, it is always good to know more about them. We are all curious to know more about that girl with an Instagram account about her travels, or about the YouTuber who produces those videos about games: how do they produce this content? What do they like to do in their spare time? What kind of food is their favorite?
Tell your followers to feel free to send you all the questions they have, select some of them and answer 🙂 this will even improve your relationship with your followers.
2 – Tips
Most of the social media channels have a theme, such as games, cooking, sports or fashion. People follow those channels because they are interested in those topics and want to know more about it, and hence tips can come out as a content that everybody will love and appreciate. Plus, it will make you come across as an expert. For instance, if you're a fashion social media influencer, give some make up or styling tutorials. If you have a channel about literature, advice on which books to read or give some writing tips.
3 – Breaking news
Pay attention to what is happening around you. If you like to talk about politics, music or even technology, it is good to be aware of the latest trends or of what is going on so then you can develop content for your channels. People love to be updated, and if by following you they feel like they will always know the latest news, they will not want to unfollow you.
4 – Industry trivia
Talking about industry, let's go back to talking about interests. People love to know more about what they are into, so do not be afraid to think outside of the box when it comes to choosing a topic. For example, perhaps you would never say that mathematics would be a fun theme for a channel, yet the YouTube channel Numberphile has lots of followers and they do not fear to explore mathematics further.
The website 'I fucking love science' counts with more than 24 million of followers in its Facebook page and the level of engagement is outstanding.
5 – Behind the scenes
People love both what is exclusive and what is special. This is why a back stage pass is so tempting to us: it brings us the chance to get meet an artist and gives us a unique experience. Although it is no longer so 'exclusive' when you put it online, behind the scenes content feels pretty special and bring your followers closer to you.
6 – Inspiring content
We all need inspiration once is a while, and content that inspires us never goes out of style. Whether you want to tell your followers a quote or video that shows them that they can achieve their goals or go creative, or even if you share an amazing story from someone, it is most of the times a good approach.
7 – Interviews
Do you know anyone whose words could bring an extra special content to your social media channel? Then go for it. Contrary to what you may think, these people do not need to be celebrities, they may be someone special in your life who your followers would like to meet, which also gives a 'behind the scene' impression.
8 – Content of the day
Image of the day, quote of the day, video of the day, music of the day… Publish something that stands out and 'marks' that day.

For more than half a century he's been the unofficial historian of Costa Mesa.
Henry S. Panian probably has been more "official" than "un."
Hank taught history at Orange Coast College for 34 years until his retirement in 1990.
A UC Berkeley graduate and Costa Mesa resident since 1956, Panian was my U.S. history professor in the fall of 1962, during the start of my freshman year at OCC.
"Mr. Panian" was a passionate and thoughtful professor who loved working with students.
"I'm here because I love to teach," he told a reporter in 1982. "I'm glad I don't have to become involved in the 'publish-or-perish' syndrome so typical of four-year (universities)."

It rained finally, not sure how much but there were puddles in the roads on my way to work yesterday morning, so that has to be a good sign that we got more than a few drops! It's amazing what excites me these days!
I cooked soup for supper two nights ago. My husband thinks it's too hot for soup but I was hoping to bring cooler temperatures with a pot of soup (I know, makes no sense but it did to me at the time!) so I made Zuppa Toscana last night. You can get this at the Olive Garden and it is so good! Thought I would share the recipe that I make. We eat the soup with French or garlic bread.
Zuppa Toscana
1 lb Italian sausage (mild or hot, your choice)
4 slices of bacon chopped (optional)
1 medium onion
6-8 medium potatoes diced with skin on
6-8 cups of chicken broth (you can use water but broth makes soup taste better)
¾ teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
¾ teaspoon pepper (or more to taste)
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
3 cups of heavy cream (I used half and half because that is what I had)
1 bunch of kale (washed really good, pulled from the stalks and cut into small bite sized pieces)
Parmesan cheese
Brown sausage and onion in a large pot, drain sausage and remove from pot. If adding bacon, brown bacon pieces in same pot, drain bacon and remove from pot. Set sausage/onions and bacon aside. In same pot you cooked the meat (drain the fat out from the meat) put in the diced potatoes with skin on, chicken broth, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and stir. Add the heavy cream or half and half while the pan is still cool so that the cream will not curdle. Now add back in the sausage, onions and bacon. Slowly bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring so the cream does not scald. Once it comes to a boil turn down to medium/low heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes add the kale, cover and simmer for another 30 minutes. Serve with parmesan cheese on top and with French bread or garlic bread. Enjoy! Makes a big pot of soup!

James Holmes, the shooter convicted in the 2012 Aurora, Colo., movie theater massacre, has been transferred to an undisclosed, out-of-state prison after he was attacked by another inmate, according to newly released documents.
The attack, which took place last October and resulted in no serious injury, raises questions about the effectiveness of security at the Colorado State Penitentiary where Mr. Holmes had just begun his life sentence for the murders of 12 people. Holmes was supposed to be kept separate from the general prison population while prison officials determined where to house him, but another inmate, Mark "Slim" Daniels, was able to squeeze through an open door where Holmes was leaving an office with a case manager.
High profile inmates are often remitted to protective custody, in order to ensure that prisoners do not take justice into their own hands. Jurors deliberated at length over whether Holmes should die for his crimes, and ultimately concluded that he should instead spend the rest of his natural life behind bars. It is the responsibility of prison officers to ensure that other inmates do not interfere with that sentence.
Yet, some observers wonder whether moving Holmes from the state's highest security prison to an out-of-state facility, and keeping its location secret, is excessive.
"It's called a 'dump job,' " Bob Hood, a longtime corrections official who used to run the federal government's highest-security prison, told ABC News. "Moving him on to another warden. He's always going to be a target. The [Colorado] Department of Corrections could easily have placed him in a secure setting. It's ironic to me that they transfer him out of state for such a simple assault."
The assault took place as Holmes was leaving an office with a case manager. A corrections officer opened a door to the area, and the other inmate squeezed through before it closed.
The assailant was then able to hit Holmes in and around the head, several times, as well as striking a corrections officer, before he was pulled away.
Colorado Prisons Director Steve Hager said that no mistakes were made, nor procedures violated, according to ABC News, but Mr. Hood is less convinced.
"It's not debatable: Errors were made," said Hood. "Clearly someone dropped the ball. [The inmates] should never have made contact. At a minimum, it's a failure of systems – a very serious breach of security."
Mark "Slim" Daniels, the inmate who attacked Holmes, wrote to reporters at local Denver TV station CBS4 asking them to contact his father, who would speak for him. The father, Tim Daniels, told CBS4 that guards had looked the other way during the attack. Director Hager told local reporters that inspectors had found no evidence of such a claim.
As for Holmes's new location, it seems unusual, even under the interstate-prisoner system, that it should remain secret.
Local District Attorney George Brauchler, who prosecuted Holmes, was less than pleased at this turn of events, in spite of what happened at Colorado State Penitentiary.
"You can Google the federal inmate locator and look up any federal inmate you've ever heard of and find where they're located right at this moment," Mr. Brauchler told ABC. "Isn't that a tacit admission that the state system is less safe than the federal system? As a Colorado taxpayer and a Coloradoan who had to bear the impact of his mass murder, this guy should be serving a sentence in Colorado. And if not, we should know why and where he is."

Thinking About Ducks....
We didn't really have a plan when we got the ducks. It was one of those things where we were going to the feed store to buy chicks and they had ducks.... four little ducklings. So, as I walked around pondering whether to buy a couple (notice that... that mean TWO) the kids were so excited at the prospect of a new creature at the house. So sure... let's do it! The cost was $3.75 per duck. So, the lady asked how many I wanted and I said I was thinking about TWO. She said, "If you buy three, I will give you the fourth one free." Hmmmm... I thought about it briefly and said, "Okay." ;) Yep, a lot of thought went into duck ownership.... Ha!
As they began to grow explosively I began to try to find out the breed of ducklings and the sex. I did not find out the breed. As far as I can tell there is really no way to know for sure and that is okay really. [Update: I believe we have Cayuga ducks]. The main reason I wanted to know the breed was to determine the sex of the ducks. For most ducks you can tell the sex by the color of their feathers and by the colors of their beaks. With these they are solid black and have solid black beaks. There are areas of the feathers that have a blue or green sheen to them, but you only see that if you are looking closely. At the stage in this picture we thought that two of them might be Black Runner Ducks. Now, I don't really think so. Alas, we can not use the beak coloring or feather color to determine sex, so the breed is not a big deal to us at the moment. I have been able to determine sex by the quack method. The females actually "quack". The males attempt to "quack", but it sounds more like the baby ducklings chirp and you can hardly hear a sound. By this method we have one female and three males. I was so hoping it would be the exact opposite. Females could produce eggs and more ducklings. Clearly, we only need one male to fertilize the eggs. {Sigh}
So, now I am really trying to develop a plan. All animals are costly to keep and I don't mind some costs for pets, but there is a point when you have to evaluate each animals purpose. These ducks need to have a purpose. They are quite beautiful and that is a good purpose, but I know that I need to know what our plan is for them. If keep them for a year or so and then decide they need to go, I know that they will not be at their "prime" for butchering. I am not certain when is the best time to butcher a duck, but I would suspect it is early in life while they are young and tender. My guess would be around 14 weeks or so. If anyone knows or has thoughts on that, please share that information. I am thinking that we will keep the female and one male and butcher the other two males. It is a difficult decision... and they are so beautiful....
I truly hope that our other two ducklings are females, or one male and one female. And as quickly as ducklings grow I know it will not be long and we will know....

Kryptic Minds - The Truth
Kryptic Minds - The Truth (Frequency, 2002)
Frequency is a subsidiary of Ram Records and was set up by Andy C and Red One in 2002 to put out material by up-and-coming producers. Their second 12" was one of the earliest releases by Kryptic Minds, a duo who would go on to become one of the genre's most respected production units before they made the switch to dubstep in 2008 and showed they could do it at slower tempos just as well.
'The Truth' opens with tough drums, sci-fi effects and what sounds like the opening chord from 'War In '94' by Badman (AKA Marvellous Cain, Sponge & Pascal). Everything drops out for a substantial sample of Laurence Fishburne in The Matrix, taken from the scene where Neo meets Morpheus for the first time and is given a choice:
"This is your last chance. After this there is no turning back. You take the blue pill, the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes... Remember, all I'm offering is the truth, nothing more."
In an extended beatless section they bring in a nasty distorted Reese bassline accompanied by squelchy stabs, building the tension until bringing in drums that make excellent use of the 'Tighten Up' break, pitching it up and down throughout the track. A hard tune that gained anthem status back in 2002. Check this interview with Kryptic Minds in which they discuss making the jump to dubstep.

Can not speak highly enough about Jon!
His knowledge and expertise in music recording and production (not to mention song writing) are so thorough, and yet he's able to teach those skills in a very simple and intuitive manner.
The quality of my production has leaped ahead since working with Jon... I can only imagine where I'll be after a few more months of lessons.
Beyond being an astounding musician, Jon is also one of the best people I've met in LA. He's kind, patient, and thoughtful. I highly, highly recommend this amazingly talented instructor!
I've always wanted to learn the piano but I always thought it would be too hard. Jon showed me that with practice your playing will get better exponentially and the satisfaction that comes with being able to play a piece well is very rewarding! I highly recommend Jon.+ Read More

From a Child's Heart
Like so many organizations fighting deadly disease, the impetus to establish ECAN began with profound grief and frustration. In 2007, John "Monte" Mordecai was diagnosed with stage III Esophageal Cancer. While Monte and his Johns Hopkins physicians waged a brave battle that included every treatment modality available, his elder daughter wanted to fight his disease as well. A 12-year-old dancer at the time, Mara Mordecai decided she wanted more people to understand that something as common as heartburn could lead to something as deadly as her father's disease. From that desire, an event and non profit corporation known as Dance for the Cure was born.
Sadly, Mara's father did not live to see his daughter's efforts come to fruition. Monte died in March of 2008 and the first Dance for the Cure was held just weeks later, on June 1, 2008. The event raised more than $20,000 and through media outreach and public education efforts, Dance for the Cure began to raise awareness about Esophageal Cancer in the mid-Atlantic region. A second annual event in 2009 achieved similar goals.
Waging a New Battle
Monte's wife and the impressive array of dedicated professionals she had recruited to serve on the Board of Directors of this new nonprofit organization were well aware that much needed to be done to prevent more families from the devastation esophageal cancer so frequently brings. With that conviction, the Board voted in June of 2009 to change the name of the organization to reflect its broader mission, and the Esophageal Cancer Action Network was born. ECAN was created with the primary goal to help raise awareness of the risk of Esophageal Cancer posed by persistent heartburn or gastroesophageal reflux disease known as GERD.
Creating a Network
To effectively fight this disease, ECAN is bringing together a community of individuals and groups who are concerned about the rapid increase in Esophageal Cancer cases and want to support the campaign for public awareness and the creation of more effective tools to detect and treat the disease. ECAN is dedicated to working for increased funding for medical research to battle Esophageal Cancer. Despite its distinction as one of the fastest increasing cancer diagnoses in the United States, Esophageal Cancer is currently among the most poorly funded cancers in terms of federal research dollars. ECAN and its network of supporters are working to change that. We look forward to the day when Esophageal Cancer is regularly detected at early stages and the medical establishment has all the information and tools it needs to effectively treat and cure those who are diagnosed.

Well, then. We've all been snuffling about for fresh info on the Google Nexus Prime after its proposed unveiling scheduled for today was cancelled as a mark of respect after the death of Steve Jobs.
But we didn't really expect direct quotes from Samsung's UK sales director telling us to expect the Nexus Prime to be announced "very shortly", and to be in the shops not long after than.
Samsung UK sales director Andrew Glass was speaking to T3 at the gadget publication's annual awards ceremony recently, and was quoted as saying: "you will have an announcement of the Nexus Prime very shortly and will be seeing it in shops sooner than you think."
Let's not forget – this isn't an attempt at stirring up publicity for a phone that's in the final stages of development. Everything was... ahem... primed and ready for the Nexus Prime to touch down today, so really it's just a matter of when Samsung and Google decide to go public – everything else is in place.
We still don't have any indication of just who will be carrying the Nexus Prime here in the UK. If past Nexus phones are anything to go by, it won't be everyone – not at first anyway. Last time out with the Nexus S it was Carphone Warehouse that nabbed a limited exclusivity deal, and we'd bet it wouldn't mind a repeat this time around too.

I really lucked out here with my colleagues. Of course there are all of the usual idiosyncrasies and personality quirks, and lots of overdone discussion of various kinda pointless issues, but everyone is very tongue-in-cheek about it--even the quirkiest, most persistent folks tease themselves a little about it and take the teasing from the rest very graciously.
There are also some strong friendships and good-natured alliances between faculty here. There's a group of people (a core of about six with about another six who rotate in and out) who go out to lunch every Friday. They're really consistent, and only miss it for very important meetings or being out of town. My first week on campus they invited me and the other new professor out with them, included us in the mass carpool and started checking with us every week to see if we wanted to go. Even though they are all close friends, they opened up the circle to us newbies and brought us right into the conversations. They always check up on us to see how we are doing and try to help us navigate the unwritten aspects of the department so we don't get ourselves in trouble, and so we can function optimally with some of the red tape. They've been very welcoming, friendly and inclusive. They're all 40's-ish white men, besides the other junior faculty who rotate in and out, and I am the only woman. It's not like it is some big shock that white male scientists could ever be friendly and inclusive--it happens every day all over the place--I'm just telling the story of my own personal allies.
This group of lunch buddies has become a really important mentor group for me. They do a lot of alliance-building on departmental issues during these lunches, and because I have been brought into the conversation, I see their strategies, know their motives and desired outcomes are for the good of the whole, and feel comfortable with their collective attitudes because I have a part in them. This kind of interaction seems like it is really, really important to growing into a connection with a faculty group during the tenure track, and from what I read around the blogs and hear from friends at other institutions, the inclusion of junior faculty in this kind of thing is pretty rare. I feel really fortunate to have found a department with this level of openness and collective feeling of responsibility towards helping the noobs.
So if you're a senior faculty member of any gender, trying to figure out how to help give a leg up to your junior colleagues, consider taking time once a week to go to lunch. And if you're a junior faculty member feeling lost and isolated in your department, find out if others are too and see if you can get together with friendly senior faculty on a regular basis like this. Sure, everybody is busy--life is hard uphill both ways in the snow with no shoes on--but for us, it could be a matter of the life or death of our career. The earlier you start including us, the better, and we are very, very appreciative of your support!

As you guys may have noticed, I've kind of taken a hiatus from doing any new projects. Not because I want to, really, more because I just don't have the funds at the moment. I don't start my new job until the 16th, and my husband has a barely above minimum wage job. Soooo… finances are super tight right now, and I've already made all the essentials (cleaners, etc.), so there's really nothing for me to do at the moment. Hopefully I will be back soon with another project!
Buddy's Chip In Page For Medical Care
Our cat Buddy is in desperate need of getting up to date with his shots and de-wormed. We are not in a financial state right now where we can pay for the vet bill ourselves, otherwise I wouldn't even be posting this right now. We need $150. Every little bit helps, even if it's just $1. Please share this with your friends as well… 🙂 I hope you guys have a wonderful day!
DIY Laminate Floor Cleaner
I finally got my living room completely cleaned and arranged to where I want it. With that, I also did a quick vacuum and mop with some homemade mopping solution. For my house, it's going to take a few good moppings (why YES, I DID make that word up!) to really get the floor good and clean because of all the dust and dirt that settled on it from the construction. But so far it's working really well!
Homemade Mopping Solution:
One part vinegar
One part water.
Yup, that's it. I use a Swiffer-like mop from the Cedar brand. I like this mop a lot because you can wash the pads up to three times (yay for less waste!) and you can make your own solution, instead of having to buy refills all the time. Again, YAY FOR LESS WASTE! lol
Here is what my living room looks like so far using the vinegar/water solution (I know, I missed some spots. I had sweat dripping down into my eyes and couldn't really see well. lol):
Let me know if you try it and what you think of it!
Words Can Not Even Express How Angry This Makes Me!
This article is about a woman whose garden was taken away from her on false allegations of it being not up to city code. This woman was not only growing the food for sustenance, but also to naturally treat her diabetes and arthritis, along with other various health conditions. She is unemployed, so this garden was also her livelihood. So they took away her life AND her livelihood. It just sickens me that someone can't even grow a garden without the city coming in. The city code officials violated a court order and came and ripped up her entire garden. Ugh, I could just SPIT NAILS!!!
The url above is to the article, which contains a link to sign a petition on change.org. Please read the article and sign the petition to stand up for your rights as a civilian to grow your own food and medicinal herbs!
We Nailed It!
Last time we had our final inspection for our house, we failed. They said our lights needed to be ark fault protected, we needed a main disconnect for the water heater, and the smoke alarms needed to be hardwired to all go off at the same time.
So we got them fixed and we had our final inspection this morning. We passed with flying colors this time! We are now living in our own home! It feels sooooooooooooooo good to not be confined to a tiny little room! Our poor cat Buddy though, he's still in the tiny room we were in. He'll be home soon though and he'll get to meet his brother Shadow, who is currently an outside kitty.
As soon as I can find our camera again, I will take pictures of the house! YAY!
Falling Into Place
It seems like now that we're finally getting moved into our new house, things just keep falling into place for us. *knock on wood*
Thursday, as I was taking a break from moving and unpacking, I got a call from a former employer asking me if I want to come back to work for them. So I pretty much said "Hells ya I'll come back to work for you guys!" They are a great company to work for. Mostly because I don't have to wear a uniform, and I can dress up on Halloween! lol
So my interview was today. I had two interviews (one of the interviewer's names was Thor, how cool is that?) and a drug test. Which, of course, I passed with flying colors. 🙂 So now I have a new house AND a new job! Hooray!
Next week I'll be doing some more DIY'ing. I'm just too tired this week.
I Know Lieing Is Bad…
I posted an entry yesterday saying that I will post pictures of my DIY'ing whirlwind. Well, I did do a lot of DIY today but, to be honest, there was just so much going on that I didn't really have time to take any pictures. I needed to get this stuff done fast. The people that were supposed to come over TOMORROW to help me clean ended up coming over TODAY. So, I just wanted to say I'm sorry for no pictures! Next time I do some DIY I'll take some, I promise! To make it up to you, here's a recipe for some DIY dishwasher detergent:
1 cup Borax
1 cup Washing Soda
Mix well.
If you want spotless dishes, use a splash of distilled white vinegar as a rinse agent! 🙂

In honor of Earth Day April 22, here are 10 tips for making your office more green.
1. Evaluate your lighting: Your lighting accounts for approximately 44 percent of the electricity used in your office, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Invest in energy efficient light bulbs, utilize natural light as much as possible, and turn lights off when you leave a room.
2. Print less: Reduce the amount of paper you use by printing on both sides of the paper. Recycle toner and ink cartridges and opt to get them refilled, instead of buying new ones when possible.
3. Go digital: Store your documents electronically instead of printing. E-mail your documents instead of sending a hard copy.
4. Get computer smart: Set your computer to sleep after short periods of inactivity. Screen savers do not reduce energy. However, some sleep modes can reduce energy use by approximately 70 percent according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Remember to turn your computer off if it's not in use for more than two hours.
5. Recycle: Place recycle bins in easily accessible locations to encourage recycling. Encourage employees to recycle office items including cell phones, pagers, PDAs, batteries, and computers.
6. Green clean: Traditional cleaning products can emit toxins and pollution into the air that can induce allergies and sickness. Use green cleaning products to ensure healthier, happier employees and less pollution in your office.
7. Embrace plants: Position plants around the office to help absorb indoor air pollution and to help clean the air.
8. Drive less: Carpool, use public transportation, walk, or bike to work. Telecommuting reduces pollution from transportation, oil consumption, and office energy consumption.
9. Ditch disposables: Use your own coffee mugs, cups, plates, and utensils at work, instead of disposables.
10. Buy recycled: Recycled office products, especially paper, are becoming more readily available and are simple ways to help reduce your carbon footprint.

in Seattle's
Forest Preschool started operating in 2009. Most of our teachers and
management have been educating Seattle's preschoolers many years prior at
several of Seattle's oldest preschools. They are bringing a wealth of
knowledge, experience and philosophies from multiple institutions and blanding
it into one fine preschool. Our experienced leadershir really understands
what does work and how to implement the philosophy. (Our director and lead
teachers have 20 years of experience each while preschool teacher experience
average for the US is shorter than four years)
We believe that this blend of experience, knowledge, energy and enthusiasm of our teachers and our exceptionally suitable space and location together produce one of Seattle's best preschools. We are inviting you to see this for yourself by making one on one appointment. Please send us an immediate email inquiry at firstname.lastname@example.com and we will get back to you ASAP.

Kristi Yamaguchi's house in Raleigh, N.C., could also pass as the world's greatest toy store. In place of a dining table, there's a pink princess-castle playhouse. A miniature kitchen and tea party set—also pink—have taken over what used to be an office. The family room upstairs is home to a giant inflatable bouncy castle for Yamaguchi's daughters Keara, 4, and Emma, 2. And the former figure skater, 36, couldn't be happier about her stay-at-home-mom existence these days. "I lived such a high-stress, competitive life early on," she says. "It feels good to chill out a little more."
Now the Olympic gold medalist is turning up the heat as a frontrunner on Dancing with the Stars. "I'm a perfectionist. If we didn't do well, I would have been really upset," Yamaguchi says. Luckily she's got nothing to fret about. Yamaguchi—who hesitated over the skimpy costumes ("with figure skating, at least I could wear tights!")—has earned some of the show's highest scores for her moves with partner Mark Ballas. Declared judge Len Goodman: "The ice maiden has just melted my heart."
It's been a long time since the California native was last twirling for a crowd. After her triumph at the 1992 Olympics, Yamaguchi spent a decade on the pro tour Stars on Ice. In 2002 she quit to start a family with husband Bret Hedican, now 37, a hockey player for the Carolina Hurricanes. "I burnt myself out of skating," she says. "I was ready to focus on being a mom."
For her Dancing stint, Yamaguchi is staying in L.A.—and missing the family's home base in Raleigh, where they live during the hockey season. On weekends, the girls often attend Hedican's games. "I'll say, 'Where's Daddy? Where's number six?'" says Yamaguchi with a laugh. "They'll point him out, then just play the rest of the time."
It's easier to concentrate on Mom's new gig—both girls love to boogie. "They put on their songs and dance around," says Yamaguchi. Another potential perk? Getting her husband on the dance floor. The pair, who met at the Albertville Olympics in 1992 but didn't start dating until 1995, have discussed taking ballroom dance lessons since marrying in 2000. "The Moonwalk is his go-to move whenever we're at a wedding," says Yamaguchi. Adds Hedican: "After I've had a few cocktails and Michael Jackson comes on."
It's too soon to tell if Keara and Emma will follow in their parents' skates. "They love being on the ice," says Yamaguchi, "but I wouldn't say they're open to instruction at this point." Regardless, she looks forward to being their No. 1 fan. "I don't know how my mom got up at 4 every morning to take me to the rink, but now I can see why she did it," she says. "You do anything to make your kids happy."

I am an animal lover. I hate nothing more than seeing animals being mistreated. Thank goodness for rescue sanctuaries around the country like SquirrelWood! Squirrelwood Equine Sanctuary is located in Montgomery NY (which is in upstate) and is run by two wonderful women named Diane and Beth. Their mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and adopt out as many farm animals as possible. They not only rescue horses, but also sheep, goats, pigs, donkeys, cows, ducks, and chickens! Here are some pics from my visit to this magical place!
How beautiful is this farm!
This is who I fell in love with at the sanctuary! His name is Abraham and he is a Belgian Draft who was a former Amish plow horse. He was rescued from the kill pen at a Pennsylvania auction. He was severely neglected and emaciated, and had such badly neglected hooves that he could barely walk! Abe has scars on his body and mouth from an ill-fitting harness and bridle. He is now fully recovered and doing very well! And he's just about the sweetest horse I've ever met!
I can't believe anyone could mistreat these sweet animals!
Check out these adorable boys!
Here I am with Diane and one of their miniature ponies and Pete the resident pig (who thinks he's a dog!)
My nephew Hank getting a little ride
And my other nephew Johnny hanging out with one of the goats!
What farm is complete without a rescue cow and donkey
SquirrelWood Sanctuary is truly a magical place! If you find yourself in upstate NY you should definitely give them a call and stop by! If you are looking for an animal, almost all the rescues here are up for adoption! And of course they run this entire sanctuary on 100% donations from people like you! They do so much amazing work here, please help them continue! Please see their website for donating and more information about the wonderful animals who have been saved by these special people.

Here's the plan: Park in front of Twin Thunder at 9 AM. Line up your bikes so they look awesome on Robertson in front of the shop. Grab an amazing breakfast and coffee at Fred's Deli across the street, chill out by our bikes — and we roll out at 10 AM! Mark, "the master of go faster" will choose an awesome route. 🙂

Our last few Twin Thunder Rides have been AWESOME! We more than tripled in size. Last time 12 people showed up.
We rode to the Hsi Lai Temple in Hacienda Heights. Weather was perfect and we had an awesome lunch and rode back to Twin Thunder. Be sure to make the next one! We also rode to San Pedo and had a snack in a rough biker bar. Wherever we go it's always amazing.

What's Really Behind Bernanke's Easing?
My guess is that the Fed chairman knows that we still have too many banks overstuffed with toxic real estate loans and derivatives.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's $600 billion quantitative easing program has been roundly criticized in this country and around the world. So why is he doing it? Does he know something the rest of us don't?
Mr. Bernanke claimed earlier this month in a Washington Post op-ed that "higher stock prices will boost consumer wealth and help increase confidence, which can also spur spending." But, as Mr. Bernanke must know, the Japanese have been trying to influence their stock market for 20 years, with little effect...

One of the big challenge to deploy a Office 365 enviroment in a big company is doubtless the security…obviously from corp net to the office 365 cloud and viceversa, but main problems are certainly on Lync online due to the type of authentication with MSOSIA (Microsoft Online Sign In assistant).
Typically in a Lync on premise all of the authentication and communications protocol is managed by Lync servers and there's not need to use MSOSIA to login, but with Lync Online all of communications (except the authentication to the ADFS that is internally located ) pass through a web proxy (in each company we have a proxy…) and we are not sure that this web proxy is a ISA server or TMG server . Here you can find a good KB that describe exactly how to configure an ISA or TMG to exclude the MSOSIA service for each user's client :
but , as i write before we have to consider that with a SQUID proxy or other type not well know , not MS, we have to bypass the proxy and permit Lync to pass directly on Internet . Ok….done.. but typically we have also a firewall between that work only with ip address (network level) and not name or service (application level) , so we have to exclude this list provided by MS :
good to use but in this condition we have to configure firewall with static route, and if subnet change we have to change accordingly on it, but for now is the only way, for this enviroment.
After all you think that now it's all ok , lync connected fine etc…not completly… because there are another important things to manage on MSOSIA .
MSOSIA is needed to connect to office365 cloud , with it we can obtain the personal certificate that lync use to connect to Lync online cloud , and when you install it the first time on a client , after you close the installation windows that seems that all working fine , services MSOIDSVC.EXE try to connect to internet to download Certification authority CRL to confirm the origin of various root certificate installed on the client, infocert, verisign and so on. But if the client is a Windows 7 and it's not connected on internet or it have a web proxy configured that ask authentication to browse to those CA CRL site, at the time of Lync login , we have always this :
At the moment we are investigating how to solve the problem , and at this time the only way to make it work is to disabled authentication in web proxy side for this site :
- – *.verisign.net
- – *.verisign.com
- – *.inforcert.it
An update from MS :
To avoid this on your proxy web authentication you can add and filter to exclude *.crl.
This is because Authenticode is trying to ensure that the certs that signed the files in use are valid. It does that by checking that the serial numbers are not in the CRL files that the issuing CA produces.
If it can't get a CRL it assumes the certs are invalid
Also the CRL files have to be cryptographically signed by the same cert as signed the cert in question
If anyone have ideas or comments , please contribute 🙂

Bear Markets and Investing
A Bear Market is one in which share prices are falling. It may refer to the market as a whole, or only to a specified sector. For example, a bear market in gold lasted from January 1980 and did not end until June 1999, during which time the price of the precious metal fell from around $850 per ounce all the way down to $253 per ounce. Another instance of a sector bear market was that caused in the high technology sector by the collapse of the "dot com bubble" in early 2001. Moreover, a bull market in equities often coincides with a bear market in bonds, and vice versa.
Investors with negative market outlooks can be said to be "bearish" on the market's prospects, meaning they have little confidence share prices will rise in the short to medium term. As it is these very same investors who drive market performance, these bearish sentiments are often a self-fulfilling prophecy and lead to a full-fledged bear market, not merely a correction. Only once confidence is regained, can a market pull out of its bearish phase and resume its historic rising trend over the long term.
It's not certain where exactly the phrase "bear market" originated, although there are a number of theories. Some theories relate to a bear's natural habits, such as going into "hibernation" for a time, or attacking oncoming threats with a downward thrust of the claws, indicating the downward trend of the market. Yet another theory is that a bear market refers to the competitive nature of two famed banking families, the Barings (as in Barings Bank) and the Bulstrodes. Images of the bear and bull are often used to accompany financial articles, much in the same way the donkey and the elephant are used to represent the Democratic and Republican parties.
The most notorious bear market in history was the Great Depression of the 1930s, following swiftly on the heels of the Roaring Twenties (one of the longest bull markets - upward thrust of the horns) and precipitated by the Great Stock Market Crash of 1929. This was a true bear market, not a market correction after which bull markets resume their upward trend. Both the 1987 and 1997 market corrections, though steep and shocking at the time, did not change the overall bullish trend of the markets. A bear market like the one which lasted from around the time of the 911 attacks though the end of 2002 was a genuine, though short-lived, bear market.
There is a silver lining to bear markets, however. Investors know that eventually, any bear market will end and the markets will recover. Thus, bear markets present opportunities for bargain hunting, and companies with good fundamentals can often be bought at good values.

"Life is so beautiful that death has fallen in love with it, a jealous, possessive love that grabs at what it can. But life leaps over oblivion lightly, losing only a thing or two of no importance, and gloom is but the passing shadow of a cloud..."
Life of Pi follows the life of Pi Patel, when his family decide to move their Zoo from India to Canada it starts Pi on a journey for his survival. Stuck on a boat with a Zebra, a Hyena, an Orang-utan and a Bengal Tiger, Pi learns that friendship and courage sometimes comes at the most unexpected of times.
I was completely sucked in by this book, the first half of the book was a little slow, I put it down so many times and something always had me coming back to it. The description of his life in India was wonderfully I loved how he talked about exploring the zoo and all the quirks of the animals living there. The writing was beautiful and flowed so easily that you could really transport yourself into Pi's world.
Pi is a wonderful young boy, he is incredibly inquisitive and his faith in God never wavers. This book has me questioning my life, what did I believe in? Would I have the courage and faith not in a higher power like Pi but in myself to survive and do everything Pi did to make this happen. Isn't that what a good book should do, make you question the life you live?
I don't want to mention much about the ending but there is a twist that will leave you questioning everything you've just read.
Life of Pi, is a beautiful book about one young boys fight for his survival. Even though slow to start it gets progressively better so don't give up.

Roy Slaper//Jean MakerShare
Roy Slaper is a man who makes jeans. But, unlike most custom jean makers, he comes from a background devoid of interest in the history and trends in selvedge, custom, and specialty denim. Maybe that's what makes him and his jeans so appealing and his approach so uniquely refreshing. In an incredibly overly simplified 2-step history, Roy wanted to make jeans and then started.
Like most others who thrust themselves into industries in which they had no historical or background connection, it's the unrelated skills from the past that seem to be the most beneficial: both in setting them up for success and separating themselves from the crowd. Skateboarding, metal work, solitude, machining, precision, and practicality. That's where Roy began.
Grain & Gram is giving you the first article in their Exchange series: a long form conversation with Roy Slaper: jean maker. Read it here.

"Madness is rare in individuals, but in groups, parties, nations, and ages it is the rule." ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Reply to Block on Libertarianism is Unique
"Walter Block very badly misrepresents my views in his article "Libertarianism is Unique and Belongs Neither to the Right Nor the Left: A Critique of the Views of Long, Holcombe, and Baden on the Left, Hoppe, Feser, and Paul on the Right" (pp. 127–70 of this issue), and in some cases his characterization of them even seems to me to be defamatory. Let me try to set the record straight. First some background."
- Login to post comments
To repeat previous comments, I see this as a non-debate debate. Arguments over this, that or some other type of "libertarianism" are senseless at best, detrimental to those of us wishing to be free on down the scale. They smack of an indwelling and perhaps highly intellectual compulsion to direct and control my liberty, as well as the liberties of everyone else (in the "free society" that they'd like to be the ones to bring about).
And to that extent I'll agree with White Indian. My agreement is conditioned by the mutual understanding (I think) that there is no problem with individual liberty or bein' free. That is a good thing. That's the goal of all of us here. The problem is with the "ism" and the "ian" of libertarianism.
A comment and sentiment I can get behind no matter who says it.
Well said Sam.
isms and ians are the true enemy.
Forming and controlling the debate on freedom without the consent of those attempting to be free is in itself a form of aggression.

MODERN ART EXHIBITIONS AND THE PROTECTION OF THE INTEGRITY OF WORKS OF ART (Wystawiennictwo sztuki nowoczesnej a ochrona integralnosci utworów)
Warianty tytułu
Języki publikacji
Museums in Poland and many other countries are trying to meet the requirements of the contemporary recipient, who expects not merely contact with art of the past but also to observe its most recent transformations. Another important task involves interesting the widest possible group of potential addressees in exhibitions. At times, however, bolder scenarios or forms of exposition not only refuse to reflect the message and ideas launched by the authors of the featured works, but even result in their total deformation. The article distinguishes several relatively typical situations when such a phenomenon may transpire, i. a. in the case of errors committed while displaying a concrete work of art or a mistaken re-installation of an interdisciplinary composition. Other examples are associated with the realisation of a scenario which in itself comprises an important artistic statement or the propagation of certain ideas, the display of reconstructions or copies, including inter-active copies for the needs of the active participation of the recipients and constituting a conception, a project or an expression of an artistic stand. A detailed analysis of such situations, enabled the authors to indicate the most frequent cases of a disturbance or alteration of the message of various works of art and the ensuing outcome. Much attention has been paid to the legal consequences, which may consist of copyright violations. As a rule, they involves a breach of the so-called right to integrity, which makes it possible for the author to demand that his work be displayed in a manner that does not affect adversely its form and contents. In extreme instances, such a request may be formulated in a court of law. At the same time, it is mandatory to stress that the above-mentioned right enjoyed by the artists is by no means a specific feature of Polish copyright, but is based on the law binding in the majority of states. Furthermore, its normative essence is contained in the Berne convention on copyright. In the authors' opinion, the curators, conservators and organisers of exhibitions should be concerned predominantly with avoiding situations that might lead to the mentioned violations. Such an obligation encompasses not only the exhibition scenarios, but should be also taken into consideration in the course of more widely comprehended preparations connected with their organisation, including posters, catalogues, etc. Within this context, we cannot forget the curator-conservation protection which in modern museum procedures foresees successive steps concerning the artists' copyright, starting with the acquisition of an art work and its extremely detailed examination, an interview with the artist, the formulation of directives concerning the assembly and treatment of the exhibits in order to preserve their safety, and, finally, guide lines relating to a suitable re-installation at the time of the show, concurrent with the artist's conceptions and the ideas contained in his/her work of art.

Germany & France sign agreement to share air base, military aircraft
The agreement outlines the two countries' intention to share C-130J Super Hercules military transport planes, French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said in Paris on Tuesday, according to AFP.
France ordered four C-130Js from US aviation company Lockheed Martin in January, and Germany has been looking to acquire four to six of the same aircraft and base them in France, German Foreign Minister Ursula Von der Leyen said.
The two countries are also looking at sharing an air base in Orleans, central France.
Both countries aim to have the arrangement in place by 2021.
In July, Von der Leyen accused Britain of "paralyzing" EU efforts for closer military integration with its vote to leave the bloc.
Germany is an advocate of a "permanent structured co-operation in the defense sector," which Britain has consistently opposed as an EU member.
