It also gives me a wonderful taste of conference all year round. Fabulous!"

Every year on the weekend closest to November 13, a bizarre and nightmarish festival known as "Toro Jubilo" is held in Soria, Spain. During this unspeakably horrific event, residents affix balls of flammable tar (or pitch) to the horns of terrified, restrained bulls. The bulls' horns are then set on fire, and the panicked animals—who are either tied to stakes in public squares or released to run madly through the streets—are left to burn.
For hours, the tar burns like a bonfire on the bulls' heads, scorching their faces, eyes, and bodies. Many burning bulls reportedly crash into walls in agony and blind terror. Their carcasses are later divided among the participants for consumption; residents apparently believe that consuming the flesh of the tortured animals confers fertility and invincibility.

This video you are about to view gives you a chance to see for yourself how brutal and terrifying this practice is. It certainly isn't fun for the bull who eventually ends up dying. Please watch the video and sigh the petition objecting to this horror

Recently , i reccived 3 different testimonials by 3 different clients in a single week regarding the effectiveness of lp jan takrut skin kabaen fish. All testimonials were mentioend to me personally or verbally through the phone.
I know readers out there like to hear more about people's success stories, so here goes:
All name are not mentioned to protect the person privacy.
Dates mentioned were the day the testimonials was told to me.
Client 1 (22/12/09): This client when approached me, owns his own business which was headhunters to major business houses in Singapore. He had been experiencing a downturn in his business this year from starting Feb. A lot of time and resources were just going down the drain.
After he wore this takrut by lp jan for more then a week, he mentioned to me there has been a marked improvement in recruitment, growth in business and a steady flow in funds since then. He is now doing better then last time and had became a strong believer of Luang Phor Jan amulets.
Client 2 (25/12/09): This client had failed in her business and had declared bankruptcy last year during Dec when business was going down. Basically, she was really in very bad condition and things were not just moving in the right direction for her. She was very stress due to worrying about repayments and debts every month till now for one year already.
Even when i first saw her. she had that stress look of concered.
One week after she wore the lp jan takrut skin kabaen fish, she won a small lottery enough to cover her one month debts. She mentioned that she was surprised because she had not won a single lottery draw for the past 5 years already.
Suddenly. her current sales job brought in more sales profit for her. She said to me on the phone: "Although i still need to pay my monthly debts, but here I am now, happy and relieved, thank you! "
Client 3 (27/12/09): This client from Malaysia was doing a sales job also in an established company but his boss was not on good terms with him. Basic problem is unable to hit sales target set by the company.
Here's the amazing part which surprised me also. The first day he went to work wearing the lp jan takrut, the moment he met his boss at work, he noticed his boss behavior changed. Their communication got better and his prospective to see things changed, previously he used to blame him for everything but now he listen to my client and mostly agrees to him on controversial issues between them. Interesting !!!
Few days later sales come in from out of nowwhere. Past clients will suddenly call him back without him expecting it. In another words, he had managed to close a few more sales during this few days. He had yet to told me wether he will hit the sales target for this month but i guess,he will.
Here is this Amazing takrut made by kabaen fish by the combodia monk Lp Jan.
lp jan takrut skin kabaen fish (For windfall luck and Transform fortune and luck) (Highly and strongly recommended)

Relative Risk: Breast Cancer and Genetics
Last week the Progress Educational Trust held an event called Relative Risk: Breast Cancer and Genetics, supported by the Wellcome Trust. This was the first event in a series looking at issues surrounding breast cancer, and focused on the genetics and relative risks associated with carrying predictive genes. James Heather attended, and shares a taste of the evening…
In most situations, knowing you have a mutated copy of a gene that is often associated with cancer is a bad thing. Or so I thought, until I attended the Wellcome Trust supported event Relative Risk: Breast Cancer and Genetics where it seemed to many to be a source of camaraderie. 'Oh you're BRCA1?' I overheard one woman excitedly exclaiming to another, 'I'm BRCA2!'.
For those in the know, this snippet is probably enough information to guess the general theme of the evening: the genetic risk of developing breast cancer. Mutations in the best-studied genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2 (often pronounced 'bracka'), are associated with a higher risk of developing breast (and ovarian) cancer.
A panel of experts from a range of backgrounds – from policy and fundraising, through practice and research, to personal patient experience of the disease – introduced the discussion.
The first speaker was Baroness Delyth Morgan, Chief Executive of the charity Breast Cancer Campaign, who opened the evening by reminding us all of the need to prioritise funding so as to fill gaps in our understanding of cancer biology.
The next three speakers shared their clinical and research knowledge.
Gareth Evans and Diana Eccles, professors of cancer genetics at the Universities of Manchester and Southampton respectively, spoke about how people tend to discuss and interpret risk. Doctors, we were told, have some work to do in understanding how best to convey risk statistics in terms that people can understand, while bearing in mind that most people's perception of disease risk will be based heavily on personal experience of the relevant disease.
Wrapping up the medical component was Professor Gordon Wishart, a consultant breast and endocrine surgeon who performs risk reduction surgery for patients at risk of breast and other cancers, such as the surgery opted for by actress Angelina Jolie last year. He explained that while such surgeries tend only to be performed on a relatively small number of women with an extensive family history of breast or ovarian cancer, increased genetic testing for risk-associated genes such as the BRCAs is likely to increase demand. Given how cost- and labour-intensive these surgeries can be, extra resources would have to be found.
The final speaker of the evening went beyond the statistics and the abbreviations to shed light on the personal impact of cancer and risk. Kerry Andrew's mother died of breast cancer at 35, while her grandmother survived breast cancer at 32 only to succumb to ovarian cancer two decades later. This family history informed Ms Andrew's decision to undergo a double mastectomy aged 24. As she is the carrier of a BRCA1 mutation, this operation is thought to have dropped her risk of breast cancer from 80% to below 10%.
The introductions, while illuminating, were kept concise to leave time for what felt like the main event – questions from the floor. The response was incredible. The speakers fielded questions from other researchers and clinicians, from the press, and from support groups. But by far the greatest number of questions came from breast cancer patients and their family members – many of the latter, of course, being at increased risk of cancer themselves.
This was probably the most engaged and eager questioning of scientists by the public I've ever seen, an inspiring demonstration of affected individuals seeking out knowledge to understand the risks they face. The thirst for knowledge was palpable: questions were asked about everything from insurance to epigenetics, from screening to support.
'I don't regret the fact I have this gene', Ms Andrew told us in her closing remarks, which seemed to resonate strongly with the audience. 'While this gene is a big part of my life, it's only a part of my life.'
BRCA mutations were certainly a big part of the lives of many who were present in the room that night, and will remain so. Others will also find that genetics is of personal importance, as our knowledge of risk-associated genes increases and as genetic screening becomes more widely available. All of which makes me glad there are events like this to attend.
The next free-to-attend event in the Wellcome Trust supported 'Breast Cancer: Chances, Choices and Genetics' series is Risk Assessment: Breast Cancer, Prediction and Screening, taking place at University College London on Thursday 8th May at 6.30pm.

New Delhi: The recent hacking of CBI`s
website by a group called `Pakistani Cyber Army` has raised
questions over the safety regulations of servers provided by
National Informatics Centre, the organisation responsible for
maintaining government servers.
While the NIC maintains a studied silence over the
entire issue, sources in the security establishment say that
the safety mechanism of the NIC was not up to the mark and
several reminders were being sent to them for upgrading their
The official website of the CBI was hacked by the
`Pakistani Cyber Army` on the intervening night of December 3
and 4. The CBI had yesterday registered a case against unknown
persons in this connection.
A report "Shadows in the Cloud" by a Canadian think-
tank comprising "Information Warfare Monitor" and "Shadows
Server" earlier this year said there was evidence of a cyber
espionage network that compromised government, business and
academic computer systems in India, especially the office of
the Dalai Lama.
According to a Canadian firm, which investigated the
hacking of the Dalai Lama`s computer, as many as 12 computers
of NIC had been hit by the Chinese hackers.
The report said the recovery and analysis of
ex-filtrated data, including one that appears to be encrypted
diplomatic correspondence, two documents marked "Secret", six
as "Restricted", and five as "Confidential". These documents
are identified as belonging to the Indian government.
"However, we do not have direct evidence that they
were stolen from Indian government computers and they may have
been compromised as a result of being copied onto personal
"The recovered documents also include 1,500 letters
sent from the Dalai Lama`s office between January and November
2009. The profile of documents recovered suggests that the
attackers targeted specific systems and profiles of users,"
the report said.
The sources said besides reports by well-established
think-tanks, there were several notes drawing urgent attention
of various key ministries about possible intrusion by hackers
either based in China or Pakistan trying to infiltrate into
the computers.
Agencies have also cautioned against the practice of
connecting official computers and laptops with unsecured
Internet connections by some bureaucrats thus compromising
With hackers mainly from China very active and having
penetrated deep into the cyber space, the security agencies
had asked all ministries especially the Defence, External,
Home and the PMO to separate their official computers with
those with Internet facility.
The recommendations of the central security agencies
seem to have gone unheeded as an official maintained that
their suggestion was only recommendatory in nature.
The National Technical and Research Organisation
(NTRO) also circulated a do`s and don`ts to key ministries
recently after attempts from hackers were noticed.
Against the backdrop of concerns over checking of
crucial official websites, security agencies have been
continuously warning the government about the use of
multitasking BlackBerry instruments by some of the officials
working in sensitive ministries including the Prime Minister`s
A quick random check was carried out earlier during
which it was found that some of the officials in the Prime
Minister`s Office were using BlackBerry services and had
linked their official emails on the handset, which is not
The problem dogging the cyber space in the country is
constant use of official computers by officials in key
ministries despite a warning from security agencies not to
link them with the Internet.
Security of many of the computers in the Ministry of
External Affairs and its missions abroad was compromised with
forcing a security audit of the machines and segregating the
virus affected ones out of the system.
The Ministry of Home Affairs has a separate server for
its computers and there have been no attempts to hack its
system since it has another server with Internet facility. A
surprise check of all the computers is being carried at
regular intervals.
The Canadian think tank, in its report, clearly
pointed out that there was "evidence" of links between the
Shadow network and two individuals living Chengdu in People`s
Republic of China to the underground hacking community.
Giving details, the report said the the GhostNet
system directs infected computers to download a Trojan, known
as ghost RAT, that allows attackers to gain complete,
real-time control.
These instances of ghost RAT are consistently
controlled from commercial Internet access accounts located on
the island of Hainan, People`s Republic of China.
"Our investigation reveals that GhostNet is capable of
taking full control of infected computers, including searching
and downloading specific files, and covertly operating
attached devices, including microphones and web cameras.
"China is actively developing an operational capacity
in cyberspace, correctly identifying it as the domain in which
it can achieve strategic parity, if not superiority, over the
military establishments of the United States and its allies.
The report said: "Chinese cyber warfare doctrine is
well developed, and significant resources have been invested
by the People`s Liberation Army and security services in
developing defensive and offensive capabilities."
According to them, an email message arrives in the
target`s inbox carrying the malware in an attachment or web
The attackers` objective is to get the target to open
the attachment or malicious link so that the malicious code
can execute, it said.
About the Chinese hackers` incursion in the cyber
space, the Canadian company cited an example saying "during
the course of our research, we were informed of the following
A member of Drewla, a young woman, decided to return
to her family village in Tibet after working for two years for
"She was arrested at the Nepalese-Tibetan border and
taken to a detention facility, where she was held
incommunicado for two months.
"She was interrogated by Chinese intelligence
personnel about her employment in Dharamsala. She denied
having been politically active and insisted that she had gone
to Dharamsala for studies," the report claimed.
"In response to this, the intelligence officers pulled
out a dossier on her activities and presented her with full
transcripts of her Internet chats over the years.
"They indicated that they were fully aware of, and
were monitoring, the Drewla outreach initiative and that her
colleagues were not welcome to return to Tibet. They then
released her and she returned to her village," the report

FINALLY time and conditions allow me to get out and ride after 2 weeks of weather and commitments getting in the way. Hit the road from home in the Subie some time just after 12, and was on the bike just up hill from the first gate above "Lake" Janet at 1pm climbing, Jet the happy doggy running ahead or along side. Good climb, thinking to myself at the beginning, "oh yeah, that's right, I always forget how long this climb is", but in the end, not finding it too bad. Made it above the bushline at 1.30, and then probably the very top, in the bitter southerly wind, less than 10 minutes later.
Across a few remnants of snow and straight into the singletrack descent, pausing briefly to switch the shock to Descend. Someone's been down with a weedeater, evidenced by broom and spaniard and tussock scrap all over the trail. Singletrack a little rutted in bits, but the worst of the wetspots has a couple nice drains draining it now. Usual tactic on the switchbacks, foot or feet down, parking the nose, flicking the back-end around and getting going again. Not balanced, but with feet down... Jet did his usual, getting in behind when I was haulin' ass, and scoping out front leading when I wasn't. Met some people just at the top of the bushline, Jet saying gudday to their mutt, and us continuing on down into the switchbacks coming thick fast. A few new lines in here for bypassing the corners, all of which I missed and didn't go back for, one or two chutes to tackle next time. A few stretches of nice long blissful flowy trail between the corners, crossed the stream, a few more stretches and then it goes on for a while longer flowing on, which had me thinking- THIS is what it's all about!, past the turn off back up to the Fire Lookout (and "Lake" Janet), and the turn off to the close Lookout, and on down, trail in perfect condition and then into the switchbacks that become so dense there's one bit you just walk down.
Once these were done we had a nice long section of sweet flow, then left the safety of the beech forest and out into the open, greeted with mud, (not-so-) glorious mud. Mucky filthy soggy treacherous mud. Slopped and slid down through all this and then it was back into a beautiful leaf-littered section of beech again, the mud on the tires fast becoming covered in little beech leaves. One or two more switchbacks and down into lower forest, mud holes and roots, mostly pretty good tho. flowing on down and through and eventually over the bridge, down a bit more and out to the road. Awesome. Now for the climb back up the road...200odd metres over 3-4kms back to the car, Jet obeying me well for good road sense. Half way up, amongst the beehives, a bee collided with my left eye, bouncing right out again, no harm done. Little bit of smarting, but it never got worse than that... so, total of around 700m all up. Felt gooood to be on the bike again, and the Spot is a joy to behold.

* Many stock quotes not recognized on main online platform between 12-12:30 pm
* Company says problem is resolved, but still investigating cause
By John McCrank
NEW YORK, Oct 12 (Reuters) - Electronic trading on the main online platform of TD Ameritrade , the No. 1 U.S. discount brokerage by trading volume, was disrupted for about a half hour on Friday due to a technical glitch that prevented some stock symbols from being recognized, the company said.
Between around noon and 12:30 p.m. Eastern time, clients of the Omaha, Nebraska-based brokerage were unable to get stock quotes for more than half of the most actively traded symbols on the online platform aimed at fundamental, long-term investors, said Steve Quirk, head of the firm's Trader Group unit.
"We had an issue with a subset of our quotes, and as a result of that, when clients would pull up a quote, the price, or any of the other fundamental data that would usually populate, was not populating," he said.
Affected clients could see all of their positions at all times and could phone TD Ameritrade to place any trades, he added.
The company, which had over 5.7 million funded accounts as of June 30, said the cause of the problem was still being investigated.
TD Ameritrade's online and mobile platforms aimed at more advanced traders -- Trade Architect and thinkorswim -- were not affected, said spokeswoman Kim Hillyer.
"The issue has been resolved and we apologize for the inconvenience to our clients," she said.

TV Guide Network has named Diane Robina executive VP of
development, acquisitions and programming strategy. Robina will continue to
serve as president of FearNet, the multiplatform JV owned by Comcast, Lionsgate
and Sony Pictures Television. Lionsgate owns a controlling stake in TV Guide
"Diane's passion for television combined with her wealth of
experience in launching new networks make her a perfect fit for the position,"
said Ryan O'Hara, president of TV Guide Network and TVGuide.com. "Diane will
play a critical role in helping build TV Guide Network into a place
to watch the best and most entertaining shows on television."
Robina has also served as executive VP of acquisitions
strategies for MTV Networks, executive VP and GM of TNN and as the head of
Comcast Emerging Networks.
"As a true television junkie, the TV Guide brand has had an
incredible impact on my life," said Robina in a statement. "Now to have the
opportunity to evolve the brand in today's television landscape is a true dream
job. The TV Guide name has incredible brand awareness and appeal.
My year one strategy at TV Guide is to produce brand defining specials such as
the recent Susan Boyle event, acquire key series such as Curb Your Enthusiasm, and secure the rights to a mix of movies that
play well to true TV and pop culture fans."

The Supreme Court halted a challenge to a federal law that authorizes the government to intercept international communications involving Americans without a warrant, the New York Times reported.
The 5-4 decision, reached Tuesday, ruled that the challengers–including journalists, lawyers, and human rights advocates–could not question the law's constitutionality. Since the eavesdropping is done in secret, the Court majority argued, the challengers have no evidence their communications are being targeted for tapping.
The act the challengers were bringing into question grants government authorities permission to access American's electronic communication, including phone calls and emails, without a warrant as long as one of the communication participants is outside the United States. The act was first signed into law in July 2008 and again in 2012.

Following are cases Which will help you solving this error.
1) This typically happens when you have an attribute of targetFramework="4.0" in the web.config but the App Pool is set to run ASP.NET 2.0. The targetFramework attribute is entirely unrecognized by ASP.NET 2.0 - so changing it to 2.0 won't have the desired effect.
and you have to switched AppPool to 4.0.
You could also remove the attribute entirely, however if your site was coded with the 4.0 Framework, then I'm sure something else will cause an error as well.
2) some time this Error due to registering the framework with IIS is what worked for me:
just run this command on CMD command Prompt . with proper directory according to your PC settings.

What does a chiropractor do?
Chiropractic is a health profession concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system (bones, joints and muscles), and the effects of these disorders on the function of the nervous system and general health. There is an emphasis on manual treatments including spinal adjustment and other joint and soft-tissue manipulation.
Chiropractors have a specialist interest in neck and back pain but when they assess their patient they take their entire physical, emotional and social wellbeing into account.
How do we do it?
The term "Chiropractic" is Greek and translates as "done by hand". Depending on your diagnosis, your treatment may involve gentle manipulation or mobilisation of parts of your spine and joints. In addition, as Chiropractors we will be looking in detail at your lifestyle and help you to make choices about exercises, self-help, diet, posture and any psychological considerations. A rehabilitation plan will be discussed with you (according to your diagnosis) to help achieve a long lasting recovery and results.
General Chiropractic Council
Chiropractic is a Primary Healthcare Profession, so you do not need to be referred by your General Practitioner (GP). Chiropractic does not involve the use of drugs or surgery. As with theMedical and Dental Professions, The Chiropractic Profession is statutorily regulated through the General Chiropractic Council (GCC). It is illegal to call yourself a "Chiropractor" without being registered with the GCC

LOS ANGELES — For years, Apple Inc.'s Steve Jobs has groomed a senior management team to take the reins of the world's most powerful technology company when his fading health would no longer allow him to continue as chief executive.
LOS ANGELES — For years, Apple Inc.'s Steve Jobs has groomed a senior management team to take the reins of the world's most powerful technology company when his fading health would no longer allow him to continue as chief executive.
Tim Cook, who assumed that mantle Wednesday when Jobs resigned the post, inherits a company that has achieved record sales and profits and a string of blockbuster consumer products.
Apple is the globe's second-largest company in terms of market value and has amassed a war chest of $76 billion in cash. Apple dominates entire categories of consumer electronics including tablet computers and portable music players. With new versions of the iPhone, iPad and other gadgets in development, the product pipeline is stuffed for years to come.
It's a dream setup for a new CEO to achieve incredible success — or to fail spectacularly.
Cook wins praise from analysts and former colleagues as a dogged, savvy executive who repaired Apple's broken supply chain. But some on Wall Street question whether Cook can match Jobs' vision and ability to anticipate the next hot technology trend, or keep up with his marketing charisma. Jobs will assume a more limited role as Apple's chairman.
Apple in many respects is the embodiment of Jobs' controlling personality and minimalist design aesthetic. He earned a reputation as a relentless perfectionist for whom no detail has been too trivial, down to the contours of a computer mouse and the menu at Apple's Cupertino, Calif., cafeteria.
Apple's elite include Scott Forstall, the vice president of mobile software, a longtime Jobs protege who designed the software that runs Apple's computer and portable devices. Jonathan Ive, the company's head of design and an employee since 1992, has been responsible for the look and feel of the iPod, iPhone, iPad and many of Apple's Mac computers.
Jobs' way is reinforced at a series of weekly meetings, where the executive team meets to discuss strategy and review projects and ensure unity of purpose. He hosts a secret off-site gathering every year of top employees to map out his long-term vision for the company. And Jobs reportedly has created an in-house institution known as Apple University, to train the next generation of corporate leaders.
"I want you to be confident that Apple is not going to change," Cook wrote in an email sent Thursday to Apple employees. "I cherish and celebrate Apple's unique principles and values. Steve built a company and culture that is unlike any other in the world and we are going to stay true to that — it is in our DNA."
The soft-spoken Cook is a stark contrast to the mercurial Jobs. Raised in Robertsdale, Ala., Cook earned an undergraduate degree in industrial engineering in 1982 from Auburn University, where one former professor remembered him as focused, polite and intense.
"He was very quiet, very reserved. But he has a strong sense of himself," recalled Robert Bulfin, an emeritus professor of industrial and systems engineering. "If he thinks he's right, I think he's sort of like a bulldog."
Jobs enticed Cook away from Compaq Computer Corp. to join Apple in 1998, a time when the troubled company was on the precipice of failure. While Jobs obsessed over every facet of Apple's products, Cook concentrated on the minute details of its business operations. His attention was a good fit in a company with a culture of perfection.
Cook's efforts were as crucial to Apple's resurgence as any of Jobs' designs, industry analysts said. He has filled in for Jobs during the chief executive's medical absences in 2004, 2009 and in January, when Jobs announced an indefinite leave.
Investors anticipated that Jobs would not return to a full-time role as CEO, and some Wall Street analysts said Cook's ascension would lend the company stability at a time when the technology giant is posting record revenue and profit. In a sign of investor confidence, Apple shares closed down a modest $2.46, or 0.6 percent to $373.72 on Thursday. The stock is up 16 percent year to date.
"Having Tim as CEO is the best solution in our eyes," Colin W. Gillis, a technology analyst with BGC Partners, wrote in a letter to investors Thursday. "We see Tim as a steady hand on the tiller of the company."
But there is a difference between a great manager and a great leader, said Al Checchi, the former chairman of Northwest Airlines and the man who helped the Bass brothers of Texas acquire a 25 percent stake in a troubled Walt Disney Co. in 1984. One of Cook's first challenges is to demonstrate that he can be both.
"The job of a leader, in any sphere, is to take the institution and constantly modify it and adapt to a dynamic environment," said Checchi, author of "The Change Maker: Preserving the Promise of America."
Cook inherits a company riding a decade of stunning success.
Apple's trio of mobile devices — the iPod, the iPhone and the iPad — transformed the company from a computer maker to a consumer electronics powerhouse. Apple's iPad alone will account for nearly 75 percent of tablet computers shipped this year, according to a recent report from market research firm IHS iSuppli. The company has sold close to 25 million of the devices since it was launched in April 2010.
The iPhone reimagined the mobile phone from simply a device for making telephone calls to a pocket computer that lets people surf the Internet, play games and get from place to place — all with the touch of a fingertip. The company has sold, to date, nearly 130 million iPhones worldwide since the device first hit stores in 2007.
Apple is expected to introduce a new version of its iPhone as soon as next month. Soon to follow: a higher-resolution iPad. Some analysts believe that the company is secretly working on an Apple-branded television.
But Apple's product plans only extend so far into the future. A true test of Cook's ability as CEO will be whether he can implement his own vision and attract the top-flight talent he'll need to create Apple's next hit devices.
"It's going to come down to what happens when Apple has to make a new product," said N. Venkat Venkatraman, professor in management, information technologies, at the Boston University School of Management. "If Apple doesn't lead with the design, and some other company does and subsumes Apple ... then everyone will say Tim missed it."

An agreement for joint use of La Cañada High School's field, established between the La Cañada Unified School District, the Arroyo United Foundation and La Cañada High School Boosters Club, could be nullified because the parties have had difficulty meeting the financial obligations outlined in the joint-use contract.
The district entered an improvement agreement for the La Cañada High sports complex with the Arroyo United Foundation in June of 2003. Arroyo United installed a new artificial field and rubberized track in September of 2003, getting use of the facilities when they're unused by the district in return.
The LCHS Boosters joined both parties in a 14-year agreement in January of 2004. Both the Foundation and Boosters agreed to contribute a total of $120,000, which would go toward replacing the field in 2014 or 2015.
The school's field will need to be replaced within the next three to four years, said Mike Leininger, the district's assistant superintendent of facilities and operations. Black pellets from the artificial turf have begun appearing on the field's surface because the turf is being crushed down, Leininger said.

First we did some wondering and came up with these wonders.
Next we opened one up and took a peek inside.
Then it was time to prepare the garden to plant. We invited the Gr 4-7 SAIL class to join us as well. When we looked a bit closer to the area we wanted to plant we realized it needed a lot of TLC. We spent quite a few minutes trying to weed out the weeds and prepare the soil. We realized it would need more time.
We headed back into class and planted a few bulbs in pots in our classroom. We are curious if they will grow inside or if they will only grow outside.
The next week we got back to the garden, We continued to weed, and then we added more soil.
Finally, it was time to plant. With a lot of elbow grease, and patience as we took turns with the tools we had, we planted our daffodil bulbs.


text: Jacqueline Anderson has lived in her Twyckenham Drive home near the Notre Dame campus for 15 years and has become accustomed to lawn parking during games she says. She spoke to a Tribune reporter Saturday about parking issues before the Notre Dame football game. Q: Do some of those cars (four) on your lawn belong to your friends? A: No, those are all ours. They won't let us park them on the street during the game. Q: How do you feel about that? A: I don't like it. I can't park on my own street. Q: Do you feel like lawn parking is an issue overall during ND home games? A: No, I don't see it as a problem (overall). I think it gets everyone into the game. All I would like (the city) to do is let us (park on) our street. For more on ND lawn parking, see Local, section C.

On a solemn Sunday morning we sit facing the terminal, chalk on our tongue and sleep in our eye. Destroyer on the earbuds, shrieking accusation at everyone, abasing himself in self-exaltation, and with no little class.
Our mission today is to mutilate a piece and put it back together. This is the hardest part. We've avoided it way too long, and it's not so much stale but a towering monster, dumb and blind and near to toppling over directly onto our heads.
Died in a dream last night. Woke up in something like death throes. Amazing. Was in a place all peopled with Christians and there was a massacre happening all across the nation where all the Christians were being lined up and executed. A thin man with two-day scruff walked in with a small, silver pistol and asked everyone in this room to line up. We hesitated, and then the others shuffled over to the wall, defeated. I leapt at the man instead, grabbing at the gun. With practiced ease he flipped it up out of his shooting hand, using that arm instead to grasp me in a headlock while his off-hand caught the shining piece. He held me struggling tightly to his chest and gently placed the muzzle against my crown and pulled the trigger.
That's when I woke up. It happened so fast.
Today's foggy and sunless, but I'm full of sourdough and raspberry preserves. Ethiopian Harrar races up and down my spinal cord, lending voltage to my voice. Okay. I think I'm ready. Au revoir.


text: I swear my employer has their head up their ass big time. I work in a lab making eye glasses. 3 of the 6 other people I work with are compete assholes. I get treated like shit and mocked on a daily basis over any tiny little thing. I'm about 5 years older than them and about 7 times more mature. They are alcoholics and talk about getting drunk, the times they managed to avoid getting caught be cops and such. Anyway one of the Asshole 3 as I shall refer to them is fairly new and a buddy of one of the other AH3 members. Well the guy is about 6'4" and 300+ pounds. Big guy. Well he is a total dick. He will kinda force you out of the way so HE can run a job. Well it has been slow lately and a lens was in the generator being cut. So i get up and stand in front of the generator and wait for it to finish so I can switch the lenses. He comes up and take the other lens and kinda demands that I move because HE is going to do it. Well I've been waiting for the lens to finish for about a minute and was already taking care of it. I tell him this. it goes back and forth for a minute and he is basically right up on me on my left hand side. So i use my arm to gently push him away a bit and he up and SHOVES me away. I've taken a lot of crap and was sick of it. He says "Don't ever touch me or it will be the last mistake you make.." I tell him to back off and I was sick of their crap. "He says "try it"... So I go and report it. Well people are taken in private and give their account and we both end up getting a three day suspension for physical conduct. Ok I did "touch" him a bit to get him to back off yet he focefully shoves me and I'm at much at fault? Give me a break. I bring up the bullshit I put up with back there and the store manager basically says "Well if you are not happy in your work environment maybe this isn't the place for you?" WTF???? I get harassed on a daily basis and "this isn't the place for me"? Give me a break! I talked with one of the retail girls who is nice and she told me she has repeatedly complained (to the store managers) against them for how they treat me and all they say "Will talk with Nancy (lab manager now) about it" or "It is out of our hands." Asinine bullshit. This place sucks. Well I look at the next 5 (3 work 2 days I already had off) days as job hunt time so I can leave the hell hole. I tell you one thing after I am gone I am never buying from them again and I will recommend AGAINST them to people I know.

So Happy
I was so excited this morning when I went out to my flower beds to check on some recent transplants. My precious yellow calla lily was finally peeking through, and it brought tears to my eyes. If you haven't seen it in all it's beauty then scroll down for you will find the photo posted "Can You See Me". After winning an award on that photo last fall, I would have been heart broken to have lost it because of moles tunneling under everything and finding some of my lovely lily bulbs over 18 inches down in the ground.
I decided to make it easy on you and just uploaded the photo of my calla lily. This was a special gift for my birthday 8 years ago and that is why I am so protective of this special plant.

I really don't like hoods on children's clothing. Too big of a safety hazard.
But I couldn't pass on this lovely knitted hooded cardigan, that I found in a Red Cross thrift shop.
Snip snip. I left about 10 cm (4") of the hood.
Then i folded the remaining piece and stitched it to the neckline.
It looks like it has always been like that.
It can also be a stand collar.

Learn Ahead. Make the Future.
Since 1992, we have been offering tutorial services to students from the Greater Toronto Area including Scarborough, Richmond Hill and Markham. With over 25 years of expertise in the private tutoring industry, our students receive the confidence and skills to meet the challenges of their academic endeavors. At STS, success is the standard our students enjoy. If you ask any of our students how they succeed with STS, you'll get a simple answer: small classes, effective examples and homework, excellent tutors and regular progress assessment.
The Recipe to Success
Providing small group tutorial classes for students from Grades 1 to 12 is what we do best. All subjects in STS are taught according to the current Ontario Curriculum – that means what your child learns in day school is what we teach! Of course, we want to keep your child ahead and "top of the class", so we make sure to adjust teaching material to reflect this. We offer tutoring in the major academic subjects: Mathematics, English, Science and French. In addition, we provide special programs such as Creative and Essay Writing Workshops, and Preparation Courses for The Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT). We also offer a variety of Summer Programs for elementary students, and Summer Accelerated Courses for secondary.
Our learning materials are developed with many examples to be explained by tutors. For Mathematics and Sciences, great emphasis is placed upon problem solving skills. For English and French, we focus on grammar, reading, writing, spelling and vocabulary. Students are given "try questions" in class where they practice the skill and have weekly assignments for practice at home.

Famed Canadian author of such novels as The Handmaid's Tale, Margaret Atwood asks "am I a bad feminist?" in a controversial new piece.
"It seems that I am a 'Bad Feminist,'" Atwood writes in an op-ed for The Globe and Mail. "I can add that to the other things I've been accused of since 1972…"
RELATED: Elisabeth Moss Dedicates Golden Globe To Margaret Atwood
Continuing, "such as climbing to fame up a pyramid of decapitated men's heads (a leftie journal), of being a dominatrix bent on the subjugation of men (a rightie one, complete with an illustration of me in leather boots and a whip) and of being an awful person who can annihilate – with her magic White Witch powers – anyone critical of her at Toronto dinner tables."
Atwood had previously drawn criticism for signing a letter of support for writer and former UBC professor Steven Galloway, who has been accused by multiple students of sexual harassment and assault, and that is the focus of Atwood's new piece: "I'm so scary! And now, it seems, I am conducting a War on Women, like the misogynistic, rape-enabling Bad Feminist that I am."
"My fundamental position is that women are human beings, with the full range of saintly and demonic behaviours this entails, including criminal ones," she explains. "They're not angels, incapable of wrongdoing. If they were, we wouldn't need a legal system."

Equality is a two-way street as far as the Canadian is concerned. "I believe that in order to have civil and human rights for women there have to be civil and human rights, period," she says. "Do Good Feminists believe that only women should have such rights? Surely not. That would be to flip the coin on the old state of affairs in which only men had such rights."
Atwood goes on to detail the circumstances around the Galloway case. Her op-ed has elicited both supportive and critical feedback from the Twitterverse.

There are many, many books Lucy loves that I would like to see permanently removed from circulation. Poorly written, overly didactic books that talk down to the reader, which, to my chagrin, does not seem to bother her in the least. Barbie Goes Rollerblading, for example, or any of the seemingly thousands of Berenstain Bears titles. We go to the public library and I pick out the old Corduroy, a charming story about a stuffed bear and Lisa, the little girl who adopts him. Lucy picks out the new Corduroy, an insipid tale in which Lisa seems not to exist anymore and Corduroy has a valuable lesson about friendship shoved down his throat. The temptation to "lose" these books between the children's room and the circulation desk is great.
A few months ago, Ann Patchett had a piece in The Atlantic about her experience with attempted censorship at Clemson University. For those of you who didn't read it, allow me to summarize: the school chose Truth and Beauty, Patchett's story of the friendship between two young women and their paths toward adulthood, for its freshman reading program. As you might expect of a true story about coming of age, the book contains some (gasp!) drug use and (GASP!) sex. That's not what the story is about, but it's in there. The no doubt well-intentioned parents of some of the Clemson freshmen found out about the book (I say "found out about" rather than "read" because they were quite up front about the fact that they had not read it) and objected. Strenuously. So strenuously, in fact, that when Patchett finally came to campus to give her planned talk on the book, the University assigned her a security detail and hustled her in and out of the auditorium through the back door.
When I read this piece, I shook my head in righteous indignation. What is wrong with those people? I thought. Do they trust their children so little that they won't allow them to read a book that might make them think? Do they plan to shelter them for their entire lives?
Yesterday, Lucy brought her first school library book home. She had chosen it herself, and we read it last night before bed. It turned out to be about a bully. Bullies are not something Lucy has ever come across, and so this required more than a little explanation. In the process, I could tell she was starting to get worried about meeting a bully, and I started to get upset that it was upsetting her. It's true – I didn't want to read her the book, because it talked about a bad thing she didn't know about and I didn't want her to worry. I wanted to protect her not just from bullies themselves, but from even the knowledge that bullies exist. No matter that probably the best way to protect her from bullies is to teach her that they exist and give her some strategies for dealing with them; the parental drive to shelter is not rational.
Now, it's true that there are books that are not appropriate for five-year-olds. In fact, there are books that are ostensibly written for five-year-olds that are not appropriate for them. But the line between screening for developmental appropriateness and censoring is a fine one. And the slope from not checking out The Berenstain Bears Think of Those in Need to not reading the book about bullies to interfering in the college reading program is slippery. I have to ask myself, do I really think she's not ready to read about this? Or do I not want her to be ready? Or is it maybe that I'm not ready? And then, unless it's the first one, I have to suck it up and read.

Hello gorgeous. Are we singing together tomorrow?
That's what my (female) friend L posted on my Facebook wall Saturday. L and I both sometimes sing backup vocals on the worship team at church.
It was just a few words, but it encouraged me! I loved knowing that L (who has this awesome voice) wanted to sing with me. And it never hurts to be called gorgeous!
This is a short blog post, so hopefully you have a few spare seconds now. If you do, think about this: What very simple thing could you do to encourage someone today?
I'll be thinking about it too.

Former Camden Town Manager Sentenced To 24 Months In Prison
WILMINGTON, Del. – James O. Plumley, the former Town Manager of Camden, Delaware, was sentenced today by United States District Court Judge Richard G. Andrews to 24 months of imprisonment for his role in a kickback scheme to unlawfully defraud the State of Delaware of over $200,000 dollars in years 2004 through 2008. In addition to the prison term, Judge Andrews ordered Plumley to repay over $204,000 to the State of Delaware.
Prior to his position as the Camden Town Manager, Plumley was employed at Roofing Resources, Inc., and was responsible for assisting the State of Delaware's Division of Facilities Management select qualified contractors to repair and maintain roofs at state-owned facilities. Plumley used this position to steer roofing contracts to his co-defendant, contractor William P. Mahon. In return and at Plumley's direction, Mahon inflated his project bids by a specified amount, which he later deposited into Plumley's checking account as a kickback. Over the course of the scheme, the FBI was able to identify $204,000 in kickbacks that Plumley received from Mahon between 2004 and 2008.
This case was made possible through substantial cooperation by the Camden Police Department, including Chief of Police William E. Bryson and Captain Gary Melvin, who conducted the initial investigation of Plumley and provided the FBI with a strong foundation for its case here.
Charles M. Oberly, III, United States Attorney for the District of Delaware stated, "This is an example of our commitment to work tirelessly with our law enforcement partners to investigate and prosecute individuals who criminally exploit positions of trust within our community. This is especially true when individuals abuse the government's trust for their own benefit. Hopefully, this prison sentence will serve as a deterrent to others who elevate their own benefit above the duty they owe to the citizens of Delaware."
"Tax payers trust their tax money will be used wisely, and not stuffed into the pockets of corrupt people. The reason people who serve governments are held to a higher standard is because they have access to incredible power and influence. It can't be abused, and the FBI and U.S. Attorney's Office won't let it be," said FBI Baltimore Division Special Agent in Charge Stephen Vogt.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Shawn A. Weede and Jennifer L. Hall. For further information, please contact Public Information Officer Kim Reeves at (302) 573-6277, ext. 16287.

So that's us! School starts again on Monday and thus starting our senior year of college. I don't know how often I'll update this blog but hopefully I won't leave you hanging for too long...if you're even interested.

First ever blog post!
Hello! My name is Erin and I have never done a blog before. I'm actually doing this for both me and my boyfriend, Greg (who is the most wonderful man ever!), but as pattern shows I'll be doing most of the blogging. Just a bit about us: I'm currently attending Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. I'm majoring in physics and Greg is doing the same (which is how we met). Greg and I will be graduating in April of 2010! That is still a couple semesters away but it will fly by so fast we won't even know what hit us! After that Greg and I will probably be tying the knot and Greg will be off to graduate school pursuing a doctorate in astrophysics. As for me, I haven't truly and completely decided but am leaning towards getting a job instead of graduate school. Hopefully things will turn out the way we'd like them to but as history has shown everyone on this planet, it probably won't at least a little bit. Greg and I are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and we love it!

In your bag No: 617 – David Jonsson
In your bag /
by Bellamy /2 min read
In your bag No: 617, David Jonsson
those Swedes sure do like to do things simple. With their simple furniture and design. Now David shares with us his simple bag shot with us. Check it out.
Hey guys,
I am David, 35 ys. old from Stockholm, Sweden.
I really enjoy the ´What´s in your bag´ section here at JCH, so I thought I´d send in my contribution.
My everyday bag is a regular cloth totebag, with whatever I need for the day.
I always carry my Yashica T4 with me together with some Kodak Portra film.
I have been into photography pretty much since 2006 and had a bunch of cameras since then, digital and film SLR´s, and point-and-shoot´s too… Nowadays I have sold all my digital stuff (except my iphone :), and kept a bunch of compact film cameras, but I tend to mainy use the T4 at the moment. It´s a brilliant little camera which allows me to take some sweet snapshots without considering too many settings.
Check my flickr for part of my work:
Thanks for looking.
Thanks for sharing your bag with us David. I love the total purity of the bag is very refreshing.
Check out the link and make sure you come and comment.
Keep them coming folks, we need more submissions, so get your bag on Japancamerahunter.com. Send me a hi resolution image of the bag (please make sure it is horizontal) and its contents, with some details about yourself and what you shoot. Oh and don't forget your contact details (twitter, flickr, tumbler et al). Send the bag shots here. Please understand that there is a long wait now as there is a backlog of submissions. Not all make the cut, so make sure yours is funny/interesting/quirky. And please make sure the shot is of good quality, as the ones that are not do not go up.

Slick, simple, svelte even.
I'm starting to do that to with my Yashica MC.
nice photos and philosophy :)
Haha, that made me laugh! I used to have a fairly extensive collection of cameras myself, until the day I decided to slim things down a bit a keep it simple. Nowadays I have an Olympus MJU II I carry everywhere with me. Its simple, virtually bulletproof and it hits the sweet spot every time! Of course that is not to say I haven't got some SLR's in storage…

The Asia-Pacific region has been one of the hottest data center markets in recent years, with major companies like Equinix and Digital Realty stepping up their construction of new facilities. The latest example of this trend is the Equinix Sydney 3 data center, which recently added a second phase. The facility was built to store paper documents for the government, but now houses servers and data as a key hub for the new digital economy. In this video, Equinix's Managing Director in Australia, Tony Simonsen, provides an overview of Phase 2 of Equinix's third Sydney IBX. This video runs about 2 minutes.
For a look at a slightly older video of a tour of an Equinix data center in the U.S. see Inside an Equinix Data Center. For additional information on the company, see our Equinix Channel.

I have to write everything down - I lost my mind/memory the minute I was pregnant with my first and it's never come back. These are some of my favorite free printables I use to keep myself sane.
Of course my Planner is the other one...it's my brain and I keep it in my purse! I still love the simple design. Once my kids are bigger I can foresee the need for something with more scheduling capabilities, like the WHOMI but for now it works.
I love new things - what are your favs for staying organized?

Mobile Blogging: Benefits and Resources for Teachers
Many teachers reflect on their daily classroom interactions using a classroom blog that's accessible to parents and students. Frequently, these blogs reflect on the content, skills, and resources used in class on any given day. "What worked" ,"what didn't work" , and "what I'd do different" are common themes amongst many teacher blogs.
The primary issues I've had with the blogging process for classroom reflections are consistency and accuracy. Since I typically blog at the end of the day (or lately, the end of the week), I forget some of the meaningful and trivial events (both of which many parents like to hear about) that happened during each specific class. Rather than waiting until the end of the day to blog, why not do it during class as I'm walking around the room and monitoring student progress? Mobile blogging provides a great solution for achieving this.
Benefits of Mobile Blogging for Teachers:
- Builds student accountability for progress: when students see their teacher providing an electronic transcript of classroom events on-the-spot, this serves to help students stay on task
- Enhances classroom reflections: mobile blogging removes memory gaps that typically occur at the end of the day
- Provides "real-time" reflections
- Seamlessly publish classroom media (images of student work, audio reflections, videos, etc.)
- Leverages teacher time during formative assessments
- Provides additional legitimacy for the use mobile devices in the classroom, which may helpadopt new norms and school policies
- Constant communication: if you use Twitter as a blogging tool, you can receive instant notifications when someone replies to your classroom tweets (students could also do this from their mobile devices in class, which would provide you with instant and archived communication)
- Classroom management: while both "traditional" and mobile blogging foster a community of learners, mobile blogging makes you more accountable for your classroom management. Who wants to write about how students are acting out of control? That's certainly one thing I'm inclined to forget at the end of the day, but if I'm blogging right then-and-there, I make more efforts to cease ill behavior.
Right now, the biggest concern I've had with mobile blogging is my typing abilities on the iPhone. Has blogging from the iPhone been more efficient than simply writing down what happened during each class and then inputting these reflections into my blog at the end of the day? Not by much at this point. However, I do know that I have become far more efficient with the iPhone keyboard interface as a result of mobile blogging. Additionally, we can continue to expect the keyboard on these mobile devices to improve over time. While I may not be saving a whole lot of time right now, I'm acclimating myself to the processes associated with mobile blogging.
If you'd like to get involved with mobile blogging, consider exploring the resources below that describe a multitude of mobile blogging tools.

Fixed Penalty Notices (FPN)
The council introduced the use of fixed penalty notices to cover a wide range of environmental offences in February 2010.
Environment and neighbourhood officers employed and authorised by Epping Forest District Council can offer offenders the opportunity to pay a fixed penalty within 14 days of being issued with a notice, as an alternative to going to court, for a number of different offences. The full list of offences and penalties can be found here
FPN are designed to deal with the low grade anti-social behaviour that takes up a disproportionate amount of time and money in prosecuting through the courts compared with the fines imposed.
Among the offences for which a FPN may be issued are littering, graffiti, fly-posting, and dog fouling. For some offences, anyone offered the opportunity to discharge their responsibility for prosecution of an offence by payment of a fixed penalty will get a discount if they pay within 10 days.
Perpetrators who are offered an opportunity to avoid court action for a relevant offence by paying a FPN will still have the right to elect to go to court for their case to be heard if they feel they have been treated unjustly.
However, anyone found guilty in court will receive a criminal record whereas payment of the fixed penalty notice will represent a complete discharge of the offence with no criminal record and they will avoid any potential additional legal costs if they were to be found guilty in court.
FPN are issued by the council's environment and neighbourhood officers. No offenders will be offered a FPN on the spot and there are no "on the spot" fines. Officers will never ask for cash or payment in person and will only issue a FPN on return to the office, when the details of the offender have been verified. Officers may issue an alleged offender with an incident ticket to record the alleged offence, but this is not a FPN.
Frequently asked questions
1. Can I appeal against a FPN?
There is no formal appeals procedure against a FPN. If the council has offered a perpetrator the opportunity to pay a FPN, the council has already decided that there is sufficient evidence to pursue prosecution proceedings if the FPN is unpaid. Alleged offenders can choose not to pay a FPN and put their case forward in court if they or their representative attend court at a later stage.
2. Will the Council accept instalments to pay a FPN?
The council will not accept payment of FPN in instalments
3. Will the Council accept late payment of a FPN?
The timescale for paying a FPN are clearly marked on any fixed penalty offer. The council does not issue any reminders and will not normally accept any late payments.

I don't know about you, but the month of June flew by for me. I missed sharing with you here on my blog, but life happens. It's certainly nice to come back to my little corner of the world wide web though. 🙂 Here's a bit of what we've been up to…please pardon the long post.
It seems we've been up to a lot while other days we're able to laze about and do a whole lot of nothing. It's been a good mix. Munchie finished preschool and will be heading off to pre-k in the fall. That doesn't come without some emotions. Wimpy mama over here. I'll distract my overactive tear ducts with a picture of some beautiful peonies Trader Joe's carried for only 1 day. 1 day! What a tease. I grabbed a bunch for my peony-loving mom-in-law and myself.
Speaking of my mom-in-law, we celebrated her retirement from teaching (hurrah!) a couple of weeks ago. We had a backyard celebration with lots of garden fresh flowers, friends & family, and a yummy street taco bar catered by a taqueria. I filled the dessert table and printed off the little chalkboard sign below for table décor. Isn't it cute?
Now both of my in-laws are retired and are jet-setting to Europe (England, France, Ireland) this summer just as retirees should. I'm very happy for them and a wee bit jealous. I have really fond memories of our trip to Europe a couple of years ago. One day I'll share a few pictures from that trip when Munchie was merely a 1-year old and I developed an ugly and embarrassing case of heat rash in Russia during a performance of Swan Lake–no one returned to our aisle after intermission. I suspect it had to do with me scratching madly at myself nonstop. Good times. 🙂
In between play dates, swimming, walks, and crafting (I've been crafting!) we took a road trip to visit my family. My mom and dad have such a gorgeous yard. That's a picture of one of my mom's baby eggplants. I brought some back with me and have cooked them up just the way she always has for me. I love the story of how she craved eggplant cooked the same way when she was pregnant with me. Coincidentally, when I was pregnant with Munchie I craved the exact same recipe. It comforts me when I'm able to make recipes that connect me to home. Makes my little homesick being feel a tad bit better.
My parents have little spots throughout their large backyard for relaxing. If it hadn't been 110°, I might've planted myself on this bench with a book for a bit. Not happening.
Back at home, Munchie and I have had a few impromptu tea parties. Even her "friends" have tea. She doesn't want to leave anyone out.
And, as I mentioned, there has been much lazing about as demonstrated by Duke. We call this his Malaise Way. His "stop looking at me, what, you've never seen a person REST before?" look. One day he'll find out he's a dog and that the dog bed on the floor is for HIM and who knows what he'll do then. I imagine there'll be tears and some huffing.
Aside from organizing & continually purging items we no longer need (I'm addicted to purging!), I've enjoyed reading late into the night, many cups of tea, spending time with dear friends, having cozy date nights at home with my easy-going husband (usually including a good show or movie and ice cream), driving Munchie to and from activities like summer camp and swim lessons, and pretty, but practical gifts like the ones pictured above. My husband's grandmother gave me two sets of china recently and I'm just in love with them. One set is from England and the other from Japan. In this home, china IS practical. I'm all for using and enjoying pretty things instead of relegating them to dust catchers.
Here's a stack of the second set she gave me. They're all sitting out on my counters because I want to keep looking at them and can't bear to shove them away in a cupboard. So out they'll sit until I come up with a better way to display them. A little hutch purchase is likely in my near future.
I'm the lucky recipient of many, many flower bouquets each summer, courtesy of my father-in-law. Among others, he grows a gazillion varieties of dahlias. I love the pastel ones best–look at that speckled one. So pretty. I have bouquets in every room downstairs, but I think I'll start bringing them into the bedrooms. A nice sight first thing in the morning.
Each morning Munchie flips this little calendar to a new day. I couldn't believe it when it said "July 1" yesterday. Can you?
Every holiday involves Munchie decorating our kitchen door with window stickers or jellies. Yesterday she decorated for one of her favorite holidays. A little patriotism from a 4-year old. And with that, I wish you all a relaxing and laughter-filled summer. Hope you're able to put your feet up a bit and reenergize. I'll be back soon with a few recipes and hope you'll stop by again soon. ♥

Peter Pan may be the boy who never wants to grow up but today's release of Pan by Warner Home Video is the untold story of the classic fairytale that puts you in the middle of encounters with fairies and adrenaline-pumping battle with pirates and warriors thanks to a Dolby Atmos soundtrack that has been remixed specifically for the home theater environment.
Dolby Atmos moves beyond the traditional surround sound thanks to an upgraded home theater experience that puts you in the middle of the story and the action thanks to audio that moves around you in the three dimensional space. Movie directors are choosing Dolby Atmos for their soundtracks for the rich, realistic, and breathtaking sound that you want during your movie viewing experience. Recent Blu-ray releases like Pan, Minions, and Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation that feature Dolby Atmos sound are compatible with conventional stereo equipment and fill the room with sound but if you're thinking about rebuilding your home theater, you'll want to select products with built in Dolby technologies. For more information about Dolby Atmos, visit their website, Facebook, and Peter Pan.
About Pan
Peter (Levi Miller) is a mischievous 12-year-old boy with an irrepressible rebellious streak, but in the bleak London orphanage where he has lived his whole life those qualities do not exactly fly. Then one incredible night, Peter is whisked away from the orphanage and spirited off to a fantastical world of pirates, warriors and fairies called Neverland. There, he finds amazing adventures and fights life-or-death battles while trying to uncover the secret of his mother, who left him at the orphanage so long ago, and his rightful place in this magical land. Teamed with the warrior Tiger Lily (Rooney Mara) and a new friend named James Hook (Garrett Hedlund), Peter must defeat the ruthless pirate Blackbeard (Hugh Jackman) to save Neverland and discover his true destiny—to become the hero who will forever be known as Peter Pan.
