The German and the Jew It was 1940 and I was Jewish sixteen-year-old girl. My little sister and I were in hiding. We hid in a shack next to the town hall. There was one good thing about those murdering Nazis they weren't the brightest people. They never bothered to look down the ally way. I will admit though they had a way of chasing the Jews away. One late night I heard screaming from downstairs, it was Beth, my older sister. I tried to be as quite as I could but they heard me, so I ran to Mary picked her up and ran out the back door. For a while they were following us but my legs were much to fast for theirs. I ran into the closest thing that I saw, it was our church! We would be safe in there. As we walked up to it I heard voices my mind said to check it out but my legs started running the other way.
Finally my legs gave up and I fell to the ground panting. Mary was only two and she was confused " mama?"ÃÂÃÂ she moaned. I started to cry, for I knew that I would never see my mama and papa again.
ÃÂÃ ÃÂÃ ÃÂÃ ÃÂÃ ÃÂÃ ÃÂÃ ÃÂÃ ÃÂÃ The next day went by very slowly. It was up to me for our survival. I decided that it was safe to explore our burnt down house. As we approached the house I started crying, a cry I had never felt before. Mary was overwhelmed with my crying that she too began sob.
At that moment I calmed her down and she looked at me with weary eyes " Hanna, mama?"ÃÂÃÂ I began to cry once more. I finally stopped and remembered the night my family had died. I seemed to remember everything but picking up Mary. I remembered the scream that awoke me. At first I thought Beth, Beth is having her baby and indeed she was. As I began to walk downstairs I heard crying " Don't hurt my daughters, take me instead don't hurt her."ÃÂÃÂ The screaming and crying grew stronger and louder as I walked down the stairs. I began to be scared. What was matter why was my mother screaming? I looked at the mirror and saw the reflection into the kitchen. I screamed. My mother was on the floor next to Beth. Beth's legs were tied together, blood everywhere. The baby couldn't breath. Beth was crying with pain. I couldn't help but cry myself. My legs trembled and I fell to the floor. I still had two steps to take before I was at the bottom of the stair well. The Nazis, they didn't here me. They were now working on my brother in law. He had a knife, but the Nazis had guns. I walked a little closer towards mama. That's when the Nazis heard me. " Run Hanna run get Mary and run."ÃÂÃÂ So I ran. I didn't want to, but I did. I did it for my mama. As I turned to look at my house to see if mama had made it out I saw a red glow instead. They had set it on fire, my mama in it. She was dead. Mama, papa, Beth, and John were all dead. As I ran faster and faster I heard the crackling of the house and the scream of Beth. That scream, I'll never forget that scream for help.
ÃÂÃ ÃÂÃ ÃÂÃ ÃÂÃ ÃÂÃ ÃÂÃ ÃÂÃ ÃÂÃ After about a year I learned how to take care of both of us. Even then the night from hell still haunted me. Mary was now three and knew a little more about life then she used. Yet I couldn't bring my self to repeat the night of my family's death. It just wasn't fair! Why me? Why my family? Why didn't papa just listen to John and go to America? Throughout the torturous year my mind kept filling up with the simplest questions. Day after day the questions would come and go through my head, and every time my legs would get week and I would begin to cry. I just couldn't figure out why the Nazis hated us so much. What did we do to them? ÃÂÃ ÃÂÃ ÃÂÃ ÃÂÃ ÃÂÃ ÃÂÃ ÃÂÃ ÃÂÃ One day I was walking down the street (Mary running to keep up) when I saw more of those awful Nazis, ruing another young women's life. I almost ran over there my self until I noticed a man, a Nazis. He said to leave her alone. He let her go, never had I seen a Nazi that let a Jew go. But why? Why did he just say go? Was she not Jew? The rest of the day I just kept wondering why the man let here go. Finally when it was time for dinner, my mind loosened up and I forgot about the incident on the street. But as I went to bed the questions came back, "why did he let her go?"ÃÂÃÂ I finally decided to put my mind at ease and fall asleep.

Bay of Plenty Regional Council recommends the public avoid swimming or drinking water from Lake Tarawera after residents from Te Rata Bay/Hot Water Beach reported discolouring of the water to staff earlier today.

A Google employee's opinion criticising the firm's diversity initiatives is causing a furore at the firm.In an internal memo, a male software engineer argued the lack of women in top tech jobs was due to biological differences between men and women."We need to stop assuming that gender gaps imply sexism," he wrote in the piece which was widely criticised.But the author said he had received "many personal messages from fellow Googlers expressing their gratitude".Posted on an internal discussion board, the article was published in full by tech website Gizmodo.
It argues that "the abilities of men and women differ in part due to biological causes and that these differences may explain why we don't see equal representation of women in tech and leadership".The unnamed author says women generally "prefer jobs in social or artistic areas" while "more men may like coding".The article prompted a response from the search engine giant's new head of diversity Danielle Brown, who said "the heated debate" over the issue had "compelled" her to say a few words.In an internal email, published by tech website Motherboard, she said the article was "not a viewpoint that I or this company endorses, promotes or encourages".

"Diversity and inclusion are a fundamental part of our values and the culture we continue to cultivate," she added. "We are unequivocal in our belief that diversity and inclusion are critical to our success as a company, and we'll continue to stand for that and be committed to it for the long haul." On social media, women spoke out to criticise the memo and attitudes of sexism in the workplace more generally.

There are many people at Google who share this guy's views. They do peer performance reviews and interview people. They discriminate.— Kelly Ellis (@justkelly_ok) August 5, 2017
End of Twitter post by @justkelly_ok
In blog on the site Medium, former Google engineer Erica Baker said she was "disappointed but unsurprised"."This is not entirely new behaviour… What is new is that this employee felt safe enough to write and share an 8 page sexist screed, internally," she wrote. A diversity report Google published in June showed that about 69% of its total workforce is male, and 56% are white.Women fill only 25% of leadership roles and 20% of technical jobs such as computer programmers. Wider concernsThere have been complaints about a culture of sexism and lack of diversity in the technology sector more broadly.Several executives, including chief executive Travis Kalanick, quit Uber this year following claims the ride sharing firm had not done enough to tackle complaints about sexual harassment. And in June, Silicon Valley investor Justin Caldbeck took an indefinite leave of absence after he was accused of sexually harassing six female technology executives."The gap of influence between male venture capitalists and female entrepreneurs is frightening and I hate that my behaviour played a role in perpetrating a gender-hostile environment," Mr Caldbeck wrote in a statement released at the time.

Meet us: Todd BoilangerThis month, we changed our insurance service providers to better fit the needs of our growth. It was a big decision for us.
Luckily, we were guided by Todd. He spent a lot of time with us, learning about our processes, plans, and growth. He really went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure we have the right insurance at the best rates. While we already knew he was a great guy from when he volunteered with Sam on the Columbus Young Professionals board of directors, we didn't know what a helpful and thorough insurance agent he would be. We consider him a part of our team.
Todd is an Independent Insurance Agent at Richard E Hawes Insurance Inc. He handles Home, Auto, Business, Life & Health Insurance. Before his career in insurance, he was involved in commercial and real estate development at Breeden, Inc. He has held many leadership positions with Columbus Young Professionals, including President. He is married to Casey Boilanger, the Child Abuse Prevention Program Director for Bartholomew County. In his free time, he enjoys being on the lake, taking rides in their Jeep with the top down, and remodeling their house. His favorite 240sweet puff is S'more.

Today I worked with students studying the mythology of ancient Greece and then with a student studying astrobiology. You wouldn't think there would be much of a connection, aside from the names of the planets, would you? Now I do admit that I have a bit of a predilection for threading topics together with connections as thin as spider's filament, but don't you think these coincidences would make good openers for some science fiction stories?
Venus, the goddess of love and beauty was married to Vulcan, the god of smiths and volcanoes, though she was always in love with Mars, the god of war. Beneath the shining clouds of the morning star the planet Venus hides masses of active volcanoes on its hellishly hot surface.
Jupiter was well known for his amorous affairs and his jealous wife, Juno. One of them was Io. Poor Io. Jupiter changed her into a sweet white calf to hide her from his wife, but Juno wasn't fooled and spent several legends torturing the poor girl. Io, the moon of Jupiter, is so stressed and heated by the tidal forces of it's parent planet that the whole moon has literally been turned inside out over years of volcanic activity. And this poor little moon is so small it can't even keep hold of the atmosphere the volcanoes produce. I suppose Io, the tortured little cow, could commiserate.
Europa was another of Jupiter's loves. Jupiter changed himself into a beautiful white bull, the legend says. Europa, playing with her maidens on a North African beach, was so entranced that she jumped on the animal's back, at which point the bull charged into the sea. They crossed the Mediterranean and emerged from the ocean onto the continent that bears her name – thus the lady on the bull gracing the Belgian Euro in 2004. Europa, the Jovian moon, is completely covered by a liquid ocean, possibly more ocean water, by volume than exists on Earth, encrusted completely with a miles thick layer of ice.
O.K. here is just one more, perhaps a bit of a stretch. Pluto, the god of the underworld, was essentially god of his own mirror image world of the dead. Pluto is miniscule, not even fully designated a planet anymore. However, I just learned that this little body has it's own system of three moons orbiting around it. For some reason I had no trouble absorbing Jupiter's system of sixty some odd moons, or any of the other gas giants' large collections of satellites. But somehow Pluto, so far away and cold, barely bigger than a moon itself, just didn't seem they type. And yet there it is, locked in a tidal dance with Charon, a moon half Pluto's size, the two bodies face each other and whirl around an invisible center. Outside of their self-absorbed gaze, two other little moons flit around them, like cold ghostly fairies shades.

Dean Heller takes the gloves off in a new television ad (below) keyed to Shelley Berkley's ethics problems.
The commercial began running today in the Reno television market. It may just be a quick-hitter as the Heller campaign had not yet decided how long to keep it on the air or whether to run it in Las Vegas.
Still, the 30-second spot linked to allegations of wrongdoing that have spiraled around Berkley doesn't make it any easier for the Las Vegas congresswoman to make inroads in the key Northern Nevada battleground.
The ad also defies the conventional wisdom that the incumbent senator would seek to remain above the fray, allowing Republican surrogate groups to broadcast allegations that became more difficult this week for the Democratic congresswoman.
It's the second ad that Heller has put on the air, and contrasts to the initial positive spot in which he promotes his "No Budget, No Pay" congressional accountability bill.
The Berkley commercial was in the can and ready to go before Monday, when the House ethics committee announced it would investigate accusations that she used her official position to benefit the business interests of her husband, Las Vegas nephrologist Dr. Larry Lehrner.
Among allegations reported initially by the New York Times last September: Berkley lobbied a friend, House subcommittee chairman Rep. Pete Stark, D-Calif., on behalf of preserving Medicare payments to kidney doctors.
Also being examined is Berkley's advocacy to rescue for the kidney transplant unit at University Medical Center where Lehrner is a partner in the company that provides kidney health services
In rebuttal, Berkley has pointed out the effort to save the UMC unit, whose government certification was being revoked, was a joint effort by Nevada lawmakers.
Berkley has maintained her actions on health issues have been motivated by concerns about Nevada patients, not her husband's business interests.
Heller's commercial points to a report last year by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, an ethics watchdog group that, based on the allegations, gave Berkley a "dishonorable mention" in a report on "most corrupt" members of Congress.
"Shelley Berkley took care of herself. She got caught," says the male narrator of the Heller commercial.
Xochitl Hinojosa of Berkley's campaign responds: "Shelley Berkley's one and only concern is Nevada patients, which is why she fought to prevent Nevada's only kidney transplant program from being shut down by Washington bureaucrats and why she has worked to ensure Medicare recipients continue to receive the care they need."

Photo of Battle of Britain Monument
Scenic travel photos of England, Scotland, and Wales
Featuring our favourite photos from our travels throughout England, Scotland, and Wales. We got up before dawn and stayed out late to photograph the most historic sites and the most stunning scenery in Britain, just for you.

About the photo:
London has so many memorials scattered about that it is easy to miss some of them. This is one of the more modern memorials, dedicated in 2005 to those airmen and women who lost their lives in the Battle of Britain. The monument stands on the Victoria Embankment a few minutes stroll north of Westminster Bridge. The location is almost directly opposite to the London Eye.

While we can't give instructions for every operating system, here's how to determine your monitor resolution in Windows XP and Mac OSX.
Windows XP - right click anywhere on your desktop. A menu will pop up. Choose 'Properties' from the menu. A window with several tabs will pop up. Click on the 'Settings' tab. Look at the numbers under the Screen Resolution slider. That's your current setting.
Mac OSX - click on System Preferences, then Displays, then the Display Tab (should be showing by default). Your current resolution will be highlighted.
Images are set to a gamma of 2.2, which is pretty much industry standard for image display and printing. The only trouble is that Mac monitors generally have a gamma set to 1.8 by default, which means that images MAY appear slightly washed out, or show colours not quite as intended. You can reset your monitor's gamma easily on a Mac. Do a simple search for 'reset gamma Mac' on Google. And in case anyone thinks we're putting Mac users second, let me reassure you that we use both Macs and Windows machines at Britain Express!

Make ctrl+click perform a "Go To Definition" on the identifier under
the cursor. Also, when the control key is held down, highlight
identifiers under the mouse that look like they have definitions to
navigate to.
The extension is based, in part, on an earlier sample written by
Huizhong Long, a QA member of the editor team (thanks Huizhong!).
Version history:
* v2.3 - Some bug fixes since 2.2 around places where state would get stuck incorrectly or highlights wouldn't show up.
* v2.2 - Navigation now happens on mouse up, and ctrl-click should work better with word selection and drag/drop.
* v2.1 - Fixed bug where the caret can get stuck as a hand even after
the mouse is no longer over an identifier with the control key held
* v2.0 - Updated for RC/RTM.
* v1.31 - Updated icon/preview image.
* v1.3 - Bug fix release - fix two issues (with the same root cause):
* v1.2 - Updated for Beta 2. Only user-visible change is that the go to definition command is sent on mouse down instead of mouse up.
* v1.1 - Mouse cursor turns to a hand when over a link. Also, a
non-functional change - remove accidentally included assemblies (the add
reference dialog added them as CopyLocal=true, which bloated the vsix
size up to about 800kb, from about 40kb).

Having lived in the same locality all the bloody time, and owing to my good habit of walking to most places, I do keep bumping into old friends and acquaintances many a time. Rather depressingly, I am starting to feel these meetings end up on a rather disappointing note.
Perhaps some explanation is needed. You see, we tend to have these wonderful memories of everyone we knew as a kid, and every time we refer to the person, the memories and stories we evoke conform to that image. Of course, no one is going to stay the same all the time. Hell, I can hardly recognize myself sometimes. If I were to hear myself blabbering on 'official' calls I would probably ask myself to get a life, but that is besides the point.
It is akin to the generally accepted principle of never personally meeting your hero - the moment you find out he is just another human being as you are, the bubble bursts.
Now when we meet up with childhood friends after they would have been through 'the grind', they would have assumed a 'mask', just as you have - the mask which one acquires as one enters into adult/professional life, which enables us to maintain a stoic exterior calm when dealing with the outside world and prevents us from betraying our emotions, in other words, helps us be 'professional' at all times, or they just might have been bogged down by their responsibilities, and you begin to wonder what happened to the dork you knew back then.
Of course, as you begin to peel away, you find some of their habits you remember are still there, they remember all the stories you remember, and the person you adored as a kid is lurking somewhere behind all the facade.
Whether they succeed in peeling your layers off is another matter, but then again, that is how you know who your friends are I guess...

Understanding WEALTH MANAGEMENT
Whether you are a high net worth client or in the beginning stages of saving for retirement, certain objectives and strategies remain consistent. We believe that a diversified portfolio is extremely important, and that a diversified portfolio requires investments that do different things. Owning a handful of mutual funds that all buy stocks does not get the job done in a globalized and highly-interconnected economy. It is also vitally important to minimize large losses, even if you have a long way to go before retirement. The importance of avoiding large losses is obvious for those in retirement or close to it, but the time lost recovering from large losses can ruin the long-term plans of young investors as well.
Looking At Risk Differently
The common way to view risk assumes that large losses are more acceptable if you have a long time horizon, or if you simply have a higher "risk tolerance," whatever that means. This is why many standard risk questionnaires ask questions such as "how would you react if your portfolio dropped by 25% (or more)." We don't believe that large losses are acceptable regardless of the age of a client or how they would theoretically feel about a large loss. Although we believe that the stock market is an excellent place to build wealth, we are constantly on the lookout for investments that can help lower volatility and make returns more predictable and steady. This translates into a number of asset classes that you won't find in most cookie-cutter portfolios.
Non-Correlated Asset Classes Used By Veripax
Industry Sector Stock ETFs – Our preferred strategy to get exposure to the stock market is through Sector ETFs (Technology, Healthcare, Energy, etc). We believe that control at a sector level provides better diversification than traditional mutual funds that are oriented around company size (small cap/large cap) or where a company's headquarters happens to be located (U.S./foreign). Using Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), which can be bought and sold just like stocks, enables a systematic strategy to get more conservative if and when the stock market deteriorates, and a systematic strategy to get more aggressive as the market recovers.
Energy Limited Master Partnerships (MLPs) – Funds that invest in Energy MLPs seek to profit from energy infrastructure, such as pipelines and storage facilities. They tend to be dividend-heavy, and are often non-correlated to other forms of energy investments.
Long-Short Funds – The vast majority of stock mutual funds are only allowed to buy stocks. Long-short funds can also short stocks (i.e. profit when a stock price falls) with a portion of their portfolio. In a strong bull market that lifts all stocks, long-short stocks will often under-perform if a portion of their holdings are held short. On the other hand, if most of the market falls, a long-short fund's short positions can help shrink losses. In between extremes in the market, long-short funds attempt to outperform by buying stocks in strong sectors and shorting stocks in weak sectors.
Managed Futures – Mutual funds that use commodity futures contracts instead of stocks tend to work best when the market is trending, either up or down. Because downtrends tend to be better-defined and sharper than uptrends, Managed Futures funds can provide a good hedge against bear market conditions.
Business Development Companies (BDCs) – These publicly-traded companies lend money to mostly mid-size companies and tend to make the bulk of their returns from the income generated by the loans. The yield generated by a BDC tends to be related to the quality of the loans (e.g. senior secured dept will have a lower yield than unsecured subordinate debt). Veripax tends to use companies that target high-quality debt but can still generate attractive dividends.
Secured Income – A description of Secured Income investments that Veripax uses can be found on the Alternative Investments page. In general, funds that fall into this category are income-oriented, and "secure" the income with tangible property such as business-critical equipment or 1st Trust Deed mortgage notes. We refer to some of these investments as the "financial equivalent of watching paint dry." In other words, they can be very boring, but sometimes boring is exactly what we're looking for.
Real Estate – We believe that direct investment in real estate can be a good hedge against inflation as well as a great way to build wealth. Real Estate tends to be more volatile than other investments, so we use it to add a little "spice" for high net worth client portfolios.

Growing up, were you always interested in joining your family business at Henderson, Inc.?
Yes, I was intrigued, but actually I started out going to school for Exercise Physiology. Then as I spent summers at Henderson, Inc. doing internships, I realized I had a real interest in the business and I changed my major to business. I always knew there would be an opportunity IF I was interested, however, my parents NEVER pushed it on me. They allowed me to ultimately figure out that the construction industry is where I belonged.
What are you passionate about in the construction industry?
Being a part of a team that ultimately brings clients' visions and dreams to reality.
Can you share something you've learned from your tenure in the business?
Your people are your biggest asset. You can't do it on your own; you need to surround yourself with talented players and you will be amazed at the contagious success.
What have you learned about the business specifically from your parents and grandparents?
From my grandparents I learned the value of hard work, an education, and the importance of a talented team. From my parents, where do I start?!? They've taught me a lot but I think the most important thing is the way they raised me. They instilled in me strong values and ethics, and the value of HARD WORK!
In your opinion, what are some challenges of being a woman in the construction industry?
Honestly, I don't even think about it. I think others (men) think about it more than I do, like when I'm in a meeting of 10+ men and no other women, but it really doesn't cross my mind. I would say my BIGGEST challenge is balancing all of my responsibilities, being a mom, wife, daughter, sister, friend, leader, co-worker, peer, etc. I always tell myself in 20 years I don't want to regret ANYTHING and everyday that's how I try to live my life.
Your three girls are young, but can you see any of them joining Henderson one day?
Oh wow, absolutely, if that's what they want. I hope to be able to offer them the opportunity one day as it was offered to me. They are so young, right now their career aspirations are to be princesses. Ha ha! Right now I'm just focused on being a good role model for my girls, showing them that they can do anything they want to if they put their minds to it, and to dream big!
Do you have any advice to anyone just starting out in the business?
Always do the right thing, keep your standards high for yourself and surround yourself with successful people.
How would you describe your leadership style?
I always try and lead by example.
What do you feel sets Henderson apart from other general contractors?
So many people preach relationships, however this is truly the core of who we are. The people we choose to do business with and our partnership style reflect who we are as a company.
What is your vision for the future of Henderson?
My vision is to continue the legacy that my grandfather and father created. Henderson has always been a well-respected contractor and I only hope to be a part of continuing that legacy.
Is there a gadget you can't live without?
Is my nannie a gadget! Ha ha! I can't live without her!
Outside of Henderson, what do you like to do in your free time?
I enjoy spending time with my family; the support of my husband and family is immeasurable. I'm also passionate about health and wellness. I enjoy working out, running, and shopping for healthy food! How do you deal with stress? I've learned, and I'm still learning, to take it all in stride. Control what you can control and give 110% all the time. For me, staying organized to allow prioritization is a MUST! I could have a million things to do but if you lose focus on what's important and where to spend your time, you can quickly unravel. Staying balanced is important too. Never stop working out! I need the energy and endorphins that come with exercise!

PORTSMOUTH — U.S. Rep. Carol Shea-Porter received a close-up look at a high-tech facility on Post Road that manufactures 100 miles of microscope slides every day.
PORTSMOUTH — U.S. Rep. Carol Shea-Porter received a close-up look at a high-tech facility on Post Road that manufactures 100 miles of microscope slides every day.
The congresswoman toured Thermo Fisher Scientific, which employs 300 people, most of them full-time.
Because of sequestration, scientific research funded by the National Institutes of Health will be reduced by $1.6 billion, which can affect grants to universities such as the University of New Hampshire and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. These institutions use products made by Thermo Fisher from microscope slides to a high-end mass spectrometer.
The Portsmouth facility is dedicated to making the glass slides that Michael Karsonovich, vice president and general manager, said are high-quality and shipped internationally. The slides are used in pathology, biomedical research and other applications.
"There is a lot of competition out there," Karsonovich said. "We have a very good value proposition for our slides. They work right the first time, every time, and you don't see that with the competition."
As budgets get tighter, he added, some customers will opt for a lower-cost slide. "But we've had significant numbers of customers come back to us this year after trying a lower-value product," he said.
In March, Shea-Porter co-sponsored the Stop the Sequester Job Loss Now Act, legislation that would replace sequestration with a balanced approach to reducing the country's deficit and growing the economy.
"This is having serious consequences around the country, and I am particularly concerned about the impact in the medical field and in research that is being done right now that relies on that funding," Shea-Porter said. "I keep saying this is a rolling wave, and what we're going to see as it goes on is more negative impact and people becoming more aware."
Shea-Porter said she is very concerned about "so much of the great research being done at NIH."
Rick Jenkinson, Thermo Fisher's director of government affairs, said while the sequestration doesn't affect Thermo Fisher directly, it does affect its customers.
"We knew about the sequestration coming and we planned our budgets accordingly," he said. "But it does affect our customers like MIT and UNH that may be receiving NIH grants to do research, because they, in turn, purchase from us."
Shea-Porter said Congress requested funding to reflect the increased need.
"We are watching this," she said. "It is the responsibility of Congress that where we cut is appropriate."

Beginning a new day, beginning a new life. Hope is still far away but I feel that it may be reachable for the first time in several years, actually my whole life. I don't ever ask for much but for some reason life doesn't seem to have much for me. I don't know who I am supposed to be, but I know who I am. Daughter, Mother, Sister, wife, ex-wife, former pill head, post Alcoholic. Yes I say post because I decided long ago to change myself, but I don't think I ever truly recovered. That I ever truly made it through the sea of bad decisions. Decisions that not only affect me but my family too. I started heavily drinking and taking pills very young but stopped upon becoming pregnant for the first time, but after the death of my daughter stopped all drug use before the birth of my son, but thats not to say I haven't had the urge to go back. That is why I have decided to change my life and my self. I am not telling anyone how they should live, eat, or work. I am just laying out the plan to change myself. Any decisions made after my blog that may affect your health should be discussed with your doctor the same as I have. I have decided to only eat healthy, that includes no more fast food or fried foods, I vow to do something for some one else everyday. Today I bought maternity clothes for my sister just because I wanted to. I will do a good deed for someone else, family or stranger that I would like someone to do for me. Third I will exercise more and not go back to any health wrecking behavior. Last I am determined to finish my novel making my self work atleast an hour on it everynight. I have set a deadline to start sending out query letters for the 30th of May no exceptions.
Sooo. Today I ate two bananas, 1/3 cup of strawberries, and a glass of milk, tonight will be homemade pasta salad with broccoli and carrots in low fat Italiann dressing. Very simple to make.And plenty of water.
I bought maternity clothing for my sister just to be nice, tomorrow I don't know yet. I might go help a friend clean her house.
I did an exercise video for half and hour. Not as much as I wanted to to but hey this is the beginning. A new beginning.
I am working on my novel, 30 minutes to go.
No negativity today!

Grove Playhouse Lot Sought By State Rep For Hotel
Written by Paola Iuspa on March 1, 2001
By Paola Iuspa
State Rep. Gustavo Barreiro is asking Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris to free up a state-owned parking lot adjacent to the Coconut Grove Playhouse to allow a hotel to be built.
With a lease between the playhouse and the state close to renewal, Mr. Barreiro is requesting Ms. Harris not to extend the $1 annual rent the playhouse pays to use the lot for parking to allow a development that would bring revenue to the state and avoid litigation.
In a letter to Ms. Harris dated Feb. 15, Mr. Barreiro proposed to give the land to Playhouse Associates, a developer that the theater's board of trustees selected in 1997 to build a mixed-use project, including a hotel and parking space.
The board of trustees cancelled the contract in September because the developer did not comply with some of the requirements of the contract, said Alvin Davis, vice chair of the Coconut Grove Playhouse trustees.
"We gave them time to correct it. But we can not wait forever," he said.
Board members in January wanted to renovate the theater and retain the land to build a parking facility but without an outside developer, according to trustee documents.
Mr. Barreiro's letter said if the state does not give the land to the developer, Playhouse Associates would sue.
"The land belongs to the people of the State of Florida," he wrote in the letter. "Area taxpayers and merchants are demanding the development of the vacant land by the chosen developer without further delay. Taxpayers are entitled to the highest and best use of their land and to receive the highest revenue source."
He said the land had been underused for more than 15 years as a 190-space parking lot generating no more than $200,000 in revenues yearly.
"Our next step will be to inform Mr. Barreiro what the facts are," Mr. Davis said. "I don't think he knows much about it or is interested in it."
Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce President Bill Cullom, a member of the playhouse board, said educating people about "the misinformation the developer was spreading around" was essential.
The board plans to go ahead with a plan for a $20 million renovation project and construction of an $8 million parking garage, according to documents. The playhouse has raised $5 million from the private sector that is to be matched by $5 million from Miami-Dade County.
Mr. Barreiro's letter also questioned the need for an upgraded theater when the county was in the process of building a performing arts center.
"Undertaking a $30 million expansion project with taxpayer dollars is of significance at this time in light of the performing arts center being build with tax dollars," he wrote.
The playhouse board elected to go ahead with their project saying it would boost the economic impact the playhouse has on Coconut Grove, which it estimated at $12 million annually.

I must say, blogging is the first thing to go when I have too much on my plate (and I think that's as it should be, right? Better for me to ignore my blog than my child, husband, or job, I imagine).
Life has been immensely crazy in the last few weeks. Anna has been sick. (She's on the mend, assuming she doesn't share her mama's allergy to amoxicillin!) We are going up to the Twin Cities this weekend for the baby shower of dear friends and plenty of family time too (so excited!!!!). Seth has been busy with Santa Fe rehearsals/performance of Haydn's Creation, in which he was the tenor soloist (and was fabulous, if I do say so).
And, work has been insane (I was on the news!). Plus, in two weeks we are appearing for oral argument before the New Mexico Supreme Court on a case I've been working on for over 3 years. Should be exciting!
In the midst of this, I am pausing to post some recent photos of my sweet pea! She is such fun lately: she'll bring you a favorite book to read (there are many; we are particularly enjoying her love of a book about the Count from Sesame Street, as she will bring you the book while saying "ah-ah-ah!") and is on the verge of walking for extended periods of time. She can walk, she just seems to prefer not to (wouldn't you, if someone carried you all the time?). She does love tearing up the stairs, however, making parental supervision all the more important…
Here's Anna diving into her Easter basket from Grandma & Grandpa:
Anyone want to read me a book?
Usually all about the sippy cups; this day only a bottle would do
Fingerpainting with maple syrup

The Bentley Generals responded in a positive manner when faced with their first bit of adversity in the McKenzie Cup series.
After rolling to a pair of wins in the best-of-five Alberta/B.C. senior AAA hockey championship at the Red Deer Arena, the defending Allan Cup champions were finally put to the test in Game 3 Saturday after blowing a two-goal lead in the final minute.
Andrew Derton scored 15 seconds apart — at 19:37 and 19:52 — to pull the Powell River Regals into a 5-5 tie and force overtime, which ended quickly when Bentley defenceman Jason Lundmark rang a point shot off the cross-bar and in at 1:29 of the extra frame to give the Generals a 6-5 victory and a sweep of the interprovincial set.
"It was a good faceoff win by Rubes (captain Sean Robertson). I hadn't had a lot of shots in the series so I thought I'd just shoot and it found its way in," said Lundmark.
"I heard the bar and I saw someone jump in front, and yeah, it was definitely a good feeling."
The Regals' late rally, in front of about 600 fans, and Lundmark's winning marker accounted for most of the dramatics in a series that was otherwise pretty much ruled by the Generals.
"We don't want to start making habits of it, but it made for more drama," said Lundmark. "It's a lot of fun when it does happen that way, but we have to make sure we win games in 60 minutes. We kind of let them off the hook in the final minute, but it's a good feeling to win a championship."
With the victory, Bentley advanced to the 2014 Allan Cup tournament April 14-19 in Dundas, Ont., where they will be joined by the host Real McCoys, the Southeast Prairie Thunder of Manitoba, the Clarenville, Nfld., Caribous, the Kenora, Ont., Thistles, and the Ontario Hockey Federation champion Brantford Blast.
The Generals appeared to be well on their way to a regulation-time sweep when Kyle Sheen snapped a 3-3 draw at 11:28 of the third period and especially when Keenan Desmet scored Bentley's fifth goal five minutes later. But the Regals persevered in the final minute to give the hosts somewhat of a scare.
"That's not the way we drew it up, but we take positives from everything and we'll chalk that up to a learning experience, at probably the right time," said Generals head coach Ryan Tobler. "We got away with it tonight, live and learn. We'll use that going forward.
"I've been impressed with the character and resiliency of the boys all year, coming up with clutch goals. That's been the difference for us this season."
After Connor Shields opened the scoring for the Generals just 86 seconds into the contest, Scott May potted back-to-back goals 12 minutes apart to give the Regals their first lead of the series.
Kyle Bailey got one back for the Generals before the first period ended — his quick release from 30 feet out beating Powell River netminder Cory McEachran — and Sheen scored his first of two on the afternoon 5:09 of the second period, breaking down the right side and picking the far corner.
Chad Eauverman pulled the visitors even with a power-play tally just over four minutes later, his high shot from the top of the circle eluding Generals netminder James Reid and setting the stage for the third-period theatrics.
Reid finished with 23 saves, while McEachran stopped 35 shots.
"This is precious," said Robertson, who will be gunning for his third Allan Cup ring at Dundas. "You start every year hoping you can get to this point and there are always some bumps along the way. But this definitely doesn't get old.
"The new guys who came in this year caught on quickly to what it means to our organization to put our best foot forward. This means a lot to everyone involved and we're very proud of what we have here."
After finishing first in the Chinook Hockey League this season, Bentley never lost a game, sweeping the Stony Plain Eagles and Innisfail Eagles in the provincial semifinals and final, then taking out the Regals in straight games. The series versus arch-rival Innisfail provided the Generals with their toughest test this spring.
"I don't think we're going to see teams like Innisfail in the (Allan) Cup," said Robertson. "I think we're going to see some veteran teams there that play like this group (Regals), which is more of a veteran, talented group.
"We'll see teams that rely on systems more than anything else. Playing Innisfail was an absolute war and we were lucky to get out of that alive."
Tobler agreed that the McKenzie Cup series featured little of the animosity that the Alberta final with Innisfail was basically all about.
"We're talking a tale of two series. We were coming off a very emotional battle against a team that wanted to beat us so bad," said Tobler.
"Give these guys (Regals) credit, throwing a team together like they did and pushing us to the limit today. It was a hell of a ride."
Lundmark agreed.
"For what they came with . . . to put a team together at this time of the year, they battled hard," he said.
"I don't know if they knew what they were up against with us, a team that's played all season long. But give them credit, especially today. They put it all out there."
The Regals took the assignment as B.C. representatives in the McKenzie Cup series despite not playing a single game together this season as a team.
"Although the team has been around a long, long time, we had a lot of new faces this year and some younger kids who had never played at this level," said Powell River coach Rick Hopper. "I'm really proud of them. They did us proud, for sure.
"Today was our best game of the series and no doubt we would have got better and better if it went a couple more games. But they (Generals) have such a deep club. Like I told (Bentley manager) Jeff McInnis at the end, they're a total class act. They're deep, they're good and I think they're going to do well in the Cup."
The Generals will get in a couple of practices this week before departing for Dundas next Monday. Bentley will play the host team the following day.
"We'll stay on top of things," said Tobler.
"We've preached conditioning all season long and we'll stay on top of that.
"The competition is going to get pretty stiff moving forward so we'll have to be ready. We'll have to clean up some areas for sure, but everything is positive going forward."

France vs Australia
France vs Australia October11/2013
complete easy survey it may take 30 - 60 seconds!!
after complete survey you will auto redirect link to watch !!
stream start at 3 p.m. ET (8 p.m. BST)
Australia's head coach Holger Osieck may be sacked if his side fail to produce a decent performance against France in Paris on Friday.
Coming into the friendly on the back of a 6-0 thrashing at the hands of Brazil in September, the German is under intense pressure despite having helped Socceroos qualify for next year's World Cup.
That huge defeat, combined with Australia's failure at the East Asian Cup and an inability to regenerate an ageing squad, have put Osieck in the firing line, with reports suggesting that the Football Federation Australia (FFA) have already begun sounding out potential replacements.
Another heavy defeat could therefore signal the end for Osieck. Indeed, while the Socceroos may be coming up against one of the world's best teams for the second outing in a row, they must avoid embarrassment this time around.
In terms of team news, Brett Holman (quadriceps) and Tom Rogic (groin) have been withdrawn from the squad due to injury.
Osieck may decide to give opportunities to fresher faces against France, or leave the experimentation until Tuesday's clash with Canada in London.
Veteran goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer has been left out of the squad and that opens up a position for either Mat Ryan (Club Brugge) or Mitch Langerak (Borussia Dortmund).
Rhys Williams (Middlesbrough), Jason Davidson (Heracles) should get game time, as should Dario Vidosic (Sion) and possibly the likes of Oliver Bozanic (Luzern), Jackson Irvine (Kilmarnock) and Mathew Leckie (Frankfurt).
France coach Didier Deschamps has named a strong squad but could have an eye on his team's World Cup qualifier against Finland on Tuesday.
The matches should provide striker Karim Benzema with yet another chance to break his international goal drought.
The Real Madrid striker last netted for his country in June last year and could finally be back on the scoresheet playing in front of the likes of Franck Ribery and Samir Nasri.
Les Bleus are unlikely to finish top of their group in qualifying but can finish no lower than second – probably behind reigning world champions Spain.
Several of Deschamps' second-string players are likely to be given the chance to show what they are capable of against a struggling Australia outfit.

Happy Father's Day! all you wonderful family men! I no longer have a father or grandfathers here on earth but I still love and think about the ones in heaven! Hope this day is awesome for all the great fathers in the world.
Been celebrating the fact that my Minnie has not had a sick day since June 3rd!!!!! I am so happy that she is finally well and enjoying her life. She really is enjoying it too! Since rescuing me, Minnie has come to learn that she can get and do just about anything her little heart desires: I have created a Minnie Monster! She flat out refuses to take a walk unless she has on her favorite collar and leash, no longer lets me sleep until 8:30 but is up at dawn, raises Cain if I don't pick her up when she demands it, and runs and hides when it is bath time. She is ruling this household for sure! I love her to pieces!
I neglected to tell you about some of the items I have put in the shops lately; don't know where my head was when I wrote my blog posts the last few weeks! Here are some I didn't mention and you can see a larger version by clicking on the Latest Kit Previews tab above.
These items are available at Digital Designer Resources and Raining Digitals except for the June Love Hearts which are in my personal use stores.
Today's gift is a little summer word art and paper. Tomorrow's gift is a summer quick page. Just click on the link below the preview to download.
This is the newsletter gift.
Thanks for coming by!

Many people say that they hate summer time in Tokyo. Main reason being the ungodly heat the city generates in the summer months. I remember last summer very well. While it did get hot as a whore house on payday; I had one hell of a good time. It is much more easy to get out and about during summer in Tokyo.
I may be from the mountains, yet I hate cold weather! I have survived many blizzards in the mountains in West Virginia. No matter what kind of evil winter I toughed out in West Virginia, I still developed no love for cold ass weather. A winter in Tokyo is kind enough to spare me the hell of endless snow; although the wind and cold temperatures are not fun to handle. All of that is behind me for at least the next few months.
Anyway, I am wondering why anyone would complain about hot weather? Whenever I start to think it is too hot I remind myself of the bitter cold winter. I would much rather prefer it to be too hot, as opposed to, it being too cold. All the blank high buildings casting tall shadows on the cold gray streets below is a real downer during the winter. Winter has a way of sucking the life out of Tokyo at times. There is also the fact the hanging out at Yoyogi park loses all of its fun during the winter.
Anyway, summer is now here and I am damn glad. I can do more stuff and enjoy life more. There is no more cold wind and low temperatures to slow me down.

You know it friend! Yoyogi park, Harajuku, and Shibuya become much more interesting when the summer hits and the outfits become shorter. I am sure you will enjoy the eye candy. LOL

Syndicate Discussion
Trainer Tools and Resources
That plus the co-op, though, and it's pretty great for anyone. If you're pretty decent with a gun (and character planning) you can solo the co-op missions with some effort, which actually makes them all the more hard-yet-awesome.
How is the voice acting?
i heard their were many hollywood actors in this game.
too bad for the solo campaign.
How is the voice acting?
i heard their were many hollywood actors in this game.
Oh no, the campaign is by no means bad, if you like cyberpunk stuff it's very good, and basically everything gets an Infobank wall of text description at some point, including every weapon upgrade in co-op. It's awesome if you realize it's written by an actual author and has tons of throwbacks to the original game.
The voice acting is pretty strong, too. There's basically only three main characters, and you see 'em all within ten minutes so the "Hey, it's that guy!" wears off quick. IMDB'll cure "wait, I've never heard or seen these people before" - Link
Overall, I pretty much can't find anything to dislike other than the currently-standard linear FPS length of the game and the entire conclusion being unsurprising and unsatisfying. But even then, the latter is mostly because I loved Syndicate/:AR/Wars, so it was easy to see coming. But if that's all that's wrong with it for me, I was determined to hate the game pre-launch because it was an FPS reboot.
So it's good.
much appreciate.
Visually its amazing. Story and Acting, top notch. Action including Boss fights, easy.
If you have $60 to waste, buy it. Otherwise, save your cash for the discount rack. Never in 23 years of PC gaming have I said that. It's unfortunate that I had to say it for this title.
[Edited by OmniTree, 2/22/2012 8:41:12 PM]
I'm by no means an Elite gamer, consider myself mediocre at best and completed it in 6 hours. The game's length is a serious disappointment. I cannot recall a single game that I ever completed this fast and this easily. Hate to say it, but as enjoyable as the game is, which is very enjoyable btw, it is in no way worth $60.00.

Like I said, it's more complicated than that.
The campaign is pretty much a vehicle to shoot stuff, and hunt down every collectible in every nook and cranny. So that you can read. It's incidental that you get to shoot stuff there, there are also three people who talk and provide ample Fridge Horror (You ever found something really awesome at the back of the Fridge that you had no idea was there after repeated looks? Think that, but unadulterated "oh " ) for once you've finished the game and read their dossiers, the dossiers on their associates, the dossiers on where they work, who they work for, and what they're working for.
It's cyberpunk, narrative is incidental to story. Trust me on that if you don't read anything in the genre, or you will lose your mind trying to figure out what I just said.
For everyone else: Co-op, but like, Co-solo. The back of the retail box literally does not mention compelling campaign for a reason. Going the co-op mode alone has more progression, more difficulty, and less reading.
[Edited by Shotgunmaniac, 2/23/2012 2:08:54 PM]
this is an awesome game. it looks good...the combat system is very fluid...so far i've not encountered any bugs or glitches and handling Origin is a breeze. the weapons feel..real and the story feels not so far-fetched. i'd give it a 8.5/10

CELEBRATION, Fla. — Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich said Tuesday he expects the race for the GOP nomination will go on for six months no matter how the Florida primary turns out.
"Unless Romney drops out earlier," Gingrich quipped about chief rival Mitt Romney during a campaign stop in Orlando, one of several stops in central Florida on his primary day schedule.
Gingrich was hoping for an upset in Florida but bracing for a loss. Polls suggested rival Mitt Romney was headed toward a substantial victory.
Gingrich's campaign on Tuesday trumpeted news that he had raised $5 million in January, most of it coming after his decisive Jan. 21 victory in South Carolina. The details were not as positive: After raising nearly $10 million in the final three months of last year, the campaign was about $1.2 million in debt. Campaign finance reports show he ended the year with a little more than $2 million cash on hand.
Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, raked in $24 million for the fourth quarter.
Following the announcement of Florida's results, Gingrich planned to head to Nevada, which is set to hold its caucuses on Saturday. He has campaign stops scheduled on Wednesday in Reno, Carson City and Las Vegas.
Campaign spokesman R.C. Hammond said Gingrich won't skip states as the races moves to seven contests in February.
"We will compete in every contest that the country has to offer," Hammond said. "In a race where the media's picked front-runner hasn't broken 50 percent yet, that leaves a lot of math out there for the conservative side of the party to take up, which is how we'll stay competitive in the nomination."

Conrad Murray Trial Day 5 – More Testimony from ER Doctor
JACKSON TRIAL DAY 5: The manslaughter trial of DR. CONRAD MURRAY continued yesterday with more testimony from emergency room doctor Richelle Cooper.
- Cooper told prosecutors when Jackson arrived at the ER "he was clinically dead." And while she reiterated that Dr. Murray never told her Michael had taken propofol that day, Dr. Cooper said that information would not have helped them save Michael at that point.
- Also on the witness stand was Dr. Thao Nguyen, a cardiologist working at the hospital the day of Michael's death. Like numerous other witnesses, she testified that Dr. Murray said the only drug he'd given Michael was lorazepam.
Prosecutors also provided Dr. Murray's phone records from the day of Michael's death to show that he was texting and talking on two of his cell phones during the time he was supposed to be tending to Michael.

while travelling mummy ´s cooking and from travelling I will say english brekkies and sunday roast.
Now that you are home....what can't you find?
while travelling mummy ´s cooking and from travelling I will say english brekkies and sunday roast.
Bangers n' Mash. I tried to make it the other day with ingredients found in an American grocery store; failed miserably.
Indian food. Yes, we have it in the U.S. but not anywhere near where I live.
Oddly enough, Vegemite. What can I say, it grew on me.
I'd say mate from Argentina, but I found a website where you can order it from down there. I kind of feel like a tool drinking it here, but damn it, I love the stuff and I've been trying to cut down on coffee.
I miss lots. First, when I go away, the first thing I miss from home is the India House. It is the only East Indian food place in town here.
Now that I am home, I miss Tim Tam's (from Australia) to eat with my coffee.
I miss Fish and Chips shops from Scotland, New Zealand, and Australia; the real shops where they wrap your food in news paper.
I miss the people, the beaches, and the life-style.
I miss waking up every morning in a new bed or forgetting that I stayed in the same one...and sometimes having no idea where I am when I first get up.
The love affairs.
The hikes, the different country sides...the Train rides.
The freedom, the choice, the on-going revolution, and being part of it. (It's a long one now...been going for decades, but it can't last forever).
And so much more.
Great backpacking advice www.europeanpilgrimage.com
I miss meat and veg with flavour.
Open roads - no traffic jams.
the mountains, rivers, and lakes being close by.
Peace of mind, warm ocean breezes, palapas to sit under, and the beach bar.
Quoting flo jo
while travelling mummy ´s cooking and from travelling I will say english brekkies and sunday roast.
Didn't think of things I missed whilst being abroad. Probably a good cup of tea & yeah a sunday roast.
Apart from the food, which is obvious and seeems to be the one thing everyone misses!
I always miss what I call "The Dorothy Feeling" you get from being somewhere completly new and foreign...as in "I don't think we're in Kansas/Yorkshire anymore Toto..." I love that feeling!:
Buddhist monks walking about in saffron robes...
Those cheap white plastic water bottles in SE ASia that you can't open without getting soaked and the lid never goes back on....
Sunshiney Tunes. I heard Jack Johnson on the radio the other day while I was driving through grey and rain, it just doesn't fit....
The feeling that all you need is there in one bag. It is the ULTIMATE FREEDOM!!!
What I miss most about traveling is being outdoors at night, sitting on the beach or in the mountains, looking up and marveling at the beautiful night sky full of stars... I live in a big city (Montreal), so I'm lucky if I see 3 stars at night, and no beach (not natural ones anyway), no mountain (what we call a mountain here is more like a hill). BUT damn it I love Montreal and no matter how much I enjoy travelling, it's always nice to come back!
Dutch cheese pies
American pancakes
British magazines
The great variety in European grocery stores
... Irish orneriness
[quote=john7buck]Bangers n' Mash. I tried to make it the other day with ingredients found in an American grocery store; failed miserably.
HOW?!! It's just sausages and mashed potato!
At home I miss the amazing variety of squeezed-in-front-of-you fresh fruit juices you get in brazil, especially the lime ones!
also the steak in argentina,
the proper cold beer in australia
and for the life of me i cannot find a hot man who isn't attached, gay or arrogant.

Another adorable manicure courtesy of TBD. Enjoy!
TOOLS: mint or turquoise polish (we used THIS ONE), white polish, black polish, a thin paint brush, top coat
- Paint 2 coats of mint or turquoise as a base.
- Make a double scallop shape at the tip using the white polish.
- Take a little black polish on a very thin paint brush and follow the shape of your scallop and end with a loop as seen above.
- Next, take a little more black polish and follow the other scallop, go past the previous loop, and cross over the first black line. See photo if that sounds confusing!
- Take a dab of white polish and make a dot in the middle of your bow. This can be any color or you can even do this step with a rhinestone.
- Don't forget your top coat!
