Manuel Dominguez
|1882 (aged 77–78)
Manuel Dominguez (1803–1882) was born at Mission San Juan Capistrano, in the colonial Las Californias province of the Spanish Viceroyalty of New Spain (colonial México). He was the heir to the vast Rancho San Pedro land grant in the Los Angeles Basin.[1]
Juan José Domínguez[edit]
Juan José Domínguez (1736-1809) was a Spanish soldier in New Spain. In 1769, with Fernando Rivera y Moncada, he was in the first group that arrived at the site of and founded the Presidio of San Diego in Alta California. Domínguez served with Gaspar de Portolà and Junípero Serra on the Portolà expedition, the first European land exploration of present-day California. It traveled north from San Diego to the San Gabriel Valley, Los Angeles Basin, San Fernando Valley, Monterey Bay, and San Francisco Bay.
In 1784, Juan José Domínguez received a land grant grazing concession named Rancho San Pedro, 75,000 acres (300 km2) of land and one of the first in California, by the upper Las Californias military Governor Pedro Fages on behalf of King Charles III of Spain. It included what is today the entire Port of Los Angeles; San Pedro, Los Angeles; Harbor City, Los Angeles; Wilmington, Los Angeles; Carson; Compton; the Dominguez Hills; Lomita; the Palos Verdes Peninsula; Redondo Beach; Hermosa Beach; Manhattan Beach; and Torrance.
Cristóbal Domínguez[edit]
Juan José Domínguez died in 1809, and left the rancho to his nephew Cristóbal Domínguez, who died in 1822. His three sons (including his eldest son, Manuel Domínguez) settled on the ranch, building adobe homes.[2]
Manuel Domínguez[edit]
Manuel Domínguez born January 26, 1803 (1803–1882), eldest son of Cristobal Dominguez, is credited with the solidification of the Rancho San Pedro with a new Mexican land grant and with the development of the rancho, and erecting the Dominguez Rancho Adobe as rancho headquarters above the Los Angeles River floodplain in the Dominguez Hills, preserved in present-day Carson. In 1828 Manuel Domínguez was elected to the Pueblo de Los Angeles Cabildo (City Council) under Mexican rule. Four years later, at the age of 29, he was elected Alcalde (Mayor) of the Pueblo de Los Angeles. From 1833 to 1834, Manuel served as a representative from Los Angeles pueblo to the Mexican Provincial Legislature in Alta California's capitol of Monterey. At this same time, he was appointed by the Governor as the Third Prefect of the Southern District of Alta California, which gave Manuel authority over all of present-day Los Angeles and Orange Counties.[3]
Heirs of Manuel Domínguez[edit]
Luis Gonzaga Policarpo Manuel Antonio Fernando Dominguez y Reyes was married to María Engracia de Cota y Nieto, daughter of Rancho Los Cerritos owner Guillermo Cota. Upon Manuel Domínguez's death in 1882, and the passing of his wife one year later, the Rancho San Pedro lands were partitioned among his six surviving children, all daughters.

Artist's description:
This painting started in November 2015 but didn't finish till January 2016. I was very eager to paint this purple trumpet flower with its white border. The opportunity to spend some time with two of our grandsons, while their parents where out of town, resulted in my proud possession of many hummingbird photos taken with a telephoto lens. So I composed this painting from two photos. My wife told me, "You know hummingbirds are attracted to red". But I really wanted to see the addition of the green and red of the hummingbird to the intense purple and white of the flower. But mostly I wanted to paint two memorable spirits.
All of my work comes framed with hand made 1 X 2" redwood. There are two reasons I frame my work; One: Your painting is ready to hang and enjoy upon arrival; Two: It acts as protection during shipping.
Materials used:
Oil paint, brushes and redwood

Are you ready to start your own WordPress site? It's exciting and fun, isn't it? Okay, so maybe it's just fun to us web geeks. We enjoy the tweaking and designing and of course, the writing of websites, and I personally love all the little plug-ins that developers create to make our web lives easier. There are so many plug-ins available in WordPress, that you can't go into it blindly, especially since quite a few are broken or essentially useless.
I've compiled my personal list of favorite WordPress plug-ins below along with links to the plug-ins for download. I have all of these installed in all of my personal WordPress sites and we install these when needed (not everyone needs Facebook plug-ins) for our clients.
Akismet – One of the largest downsides to starting any website that allows for commenting is the incredibly high risk of spam comments. Akismet is a high-powered spam filter that allows you to create blacklists, whitelists, and view all spam before removing it from your site entirely. It's so must-have that WordPress automatically includes it with every install.
All in One SEO Pack – This plug-in allows you to set the formatting for your HTML titles and metadata for the entire site, and you can designate your target keywords in each individual post. If you're concerned about SEO (and everyone with a website who wants traffic should be), download and play around with this plug-in.
All in One Webmaster Tools – Instead of overloading your server with various plug-ins for Google Analytics, Google Webmaster Tools, Alexa Rankings, Bing Webmaster, Yahoo Site Explorer, and several others, this one plug-in handles it all. Installing strange HTML tracking codes has never been easier.
Facebook Fanbox – If you have a Facebook fan page, you will quickly learn that the HTML code that Facebook provides for showing off your fan count will not work with WordPress. Luckily, there is a plug-in that creates the widget for you. All you need is to set your dimensions and enter in your page ID. It's magic.
fbLikeButton – Want people to "like" individual posts on Facebook? Toss in this plug-in for a nifty little "like" button to appear at the end of each of your posts.
Front-End Editor – If you have non-web savvy clients or even co-workers, you can install this plug-in to allow users to edit text directly from the site without ever logging into the back end.
Google XML Sitemaps – You always need a sitemap for Google. How else are they going to index all of your pages? With a simple click, this plug-in creates an instant XML sitemap for you to submit.
MailChimp – We're big users and adorers of MailChimp for our newsletter needs as well as our clients'. The easiest way for readers to sign up for such newsletters is with (don't be shocked) the MailChimp plug-in.
Scribe SEO – I touted the greatness of this plug-in a few weeks ago, so if you need a refresher, feel free to reread my praises. The only unfortunate aspect of this plug-in is the subscription fee. As a result, it may not be that beneficial for a personal website, but it's well worth the investment for a business.
TweetMeme – TweetMeme installs a little button on each of your posts/pages that 1) allows users to tweet said post and 2) tallies the number of tweets. It can make you feel extremely popular or extremely pathetic. Use with caution.
Woopra – Woopra is by far the best thing that has ever happened to web analytics. It records real-time analytics that you can monitor from your computer or iPhone. You have to sign up for a Woopra account, which is just as easy join as it is to install the plug-in. There is even a free account if you don't need multiple users.
WP Database Backup – Before you update WordPress's software, it's always wisest to backup the database first. No need to dig into your server to figure out how; this plug-in does it all for you.
WP Super Cache – Most sites automatically cache web data to help with load times and bandwidth, but most sites don't help you clear out the cache when you need to. With WP Super Cache, you can clear your cache at any time, compress files, and set which files should never be cached.
Yoast Breadcrumbs – Think Hansel and Gretel. Breadcrumbs allow your visitors to see what paths they have taken through your site and find their way quickly back to a previously visited page or post.
Feel overloaded? WordPress has a tendency to make you feel that way at first, but I can almost definitively guarantee that these plug-ins will give you a better WordPress experience and greatly improve the user experience, SEO, and social media management. All of which are necessary to bring that desired traffic to your new site.

An emergency management colleague sent me the item below. Cute story; great parenting; and a fairly powerful message about teaching kids about helping others. Reminds me of how important it is to teach children how and why to do the right thing; not only so they do the right thing as they mature, but also perhaps to teach others, including other adults. Character building can take place anytime. As my colleague relates the story:
"I purposely decided to call my girls in to watch the news coverage of Haiti last night (they are 5 and 6). I then explained about earthquakes (I grew up in San Francisco so I know this stuff but they have never experienced one in Brooklyn) and took that into another reason why it is so important that we prepare, practice our evacuation routes from the house, check our go bags from time to time, etc. A teachable moment as they say."
"We then moved into what we can do for all the people especially children. Draw them happy cards was the first suggestion. Ok, I'll do something with that effort. Then send toys was next – um NO was my answer given I had to sign for about 15,000 of those when they arrived in NYC after 9/11. Money. Hum – so off they went to gather pennies from their secret hiding places (I didn't tell them that I know where they stash their change but the Tooth Fairy is still real too). Another teachable moment."
"After breakfast this morning my youngest was stacking canned food in the hallway. I asked what she was doing. She told me she took them out of the family emergency bag in the front closet "because it is an emergency in Haiti and that is what this food is supposed to be for, right" she asked. Right I said. A teachable moment for me as an emergency manager and mom."
Years ago, I was in charge of initiating a curbside recycling program in a small city in Pennsylvania. Everything started out pretty well, but things really improved when we started getting recycling information into the schools. When small children went home and chastised their parents or siblings for not putting the plastic bottle or newspaper in the recycling bin, it seemed like collection rates for recyclables started increasing. As with recycling, I think many of us in the emergency management profession believe that if kids start talking to their parents about family emergency plan or emergency preparedness kit, more and more people will start taking steps to better prepare for disasters.
Hopefully we will all adopt the approach of my colleague and spend the time to find "teachable moments" with our children.

WALLOON LAKE — Road construction will start on North Shore Drive in Melrose Township following Labor Day to repair an eroding stretch of the road.
The project is a .64 mile stretch of road on the north side of Walloon Lake and extends from M-75 to 4th Street on North Shore Drive.
The road, which was paved many years ago, is cracked and has potholes, making the road rough for vehicle travel.
"We are paving the road, widening it from 20 feet to 22 feet, and a 1,400 foot segment of the road is being raised to fix some drainage problems," said Mark Wagner, project manager for Rieth-Riley Road Construction. Rieth-Riley of Petoskey has the construction contract for the project.
The project will cost $194,507.50 to complete, with funding coming from a road improvement millage in Melrose Township.
Construction is being delayed until after the upcoming holiday so there will be less disruption of traffic on the road.

Summer Pancakes
July 17, 2011
Ah HA! I had a score today with the pancakes!
After my last foray into the Pancake World, I didn't think I'd venture there again soon. But today's 4 1/2 year old guest needed them for his breakfast, so I tried it again. I googled and giggled, (remembering my more discriminating 11 year old guest's opinion of my pancakes), and when all was said and done, I forgot about Paula Deen and went back to the pancakes I always gave our own little girls (who are quite grown up now but they were little once): 1 cup flour, 1 cup milk, 2 T butter, 1 egg, 2 T sugar, 1 T vanilla, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda & a couple of pinches of salt. BUT I made one change: I added about 1/4 or so cup of sparkling grape juice (I had a bit left over from our anniversary guests the other day) because one of the recipes that I'd googled had given that as a tip for light, fluffy pancakes. AND IT DID THE TRICK! I added some blueberries and made a special butter: I added honey and almond extract along with a few pinches of mace (which was to die for, if I do say so myself) and served them with warm blueberry syrup. Our little guy's assessment of my pancakes today? "Tastes like a lollipop," which was a 100% endorsement, in case you need a translation. SCORE!
I love the savoury pancakes best how about you? Whats your Fav pancake recipes

Sounds familiar no? That was Mr. Forrest Gump, he shouted at me to run (Don't we love Tom Hanks?)
Anyways, I m not talking about the movie much because I have better experience… And of course it's dining experience.
The Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. at The Curve. The restaurant is named after the movie. There's scene from the movie Forrest Gump when the girlfriend shouting "Run Forrest Run" and that's what written on the unique plate signs on every makan table.
Here are some photos of mine.
Enjoying Lunch
Creative plate sign
The Red plate sign to call upon Gumpy Waiters
Oh Grilled Burger. I need a white plate sign for this!
Overall, it was good to makan at Bubba Gump Shrimp. I love the food presentation at the foremost; the barrel, the news paper piece etc.
There are two most important things that everyone should know about are:
1. How to call for waiter. Must flip to red plate sign "stop forest stop" as to call for make order, bills etc.
2. The portioning. Don't be lansi (as I did). The portioning must be bigger than u taught.
And thanks a lotz to my makan gang for dining experience even though I almost killed by overfilling food. Hahah. Simply shrimp I love Bubba Gump 🙂
Some Gump's favourite quotes:
My momma says I m special.
My momma always said
"Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get"
OK now Stop Fairuz Stop ,
Fai. After lunch and remembering Bubba Gump

In an effort to regain customers after declining sales and a hard hit to the company's reputation, Chipotle is offering deals that appeal to students and families.
>> Read more trending stories
The first deal appeals to parents, who can receive a free kids' meal with the purchase of an adult entree. The deal is only valid on Sundays in September.
A second promotion allows high school and college students to receive a free drink with the purchase of an entree if they show a valid school ID.
"It's back to school time and students -- particularly high school and college students -- have always been such loyal customers, so we thought a promotion directed specifically to them would be a great way to help them ring in a new school year," a Chipotle spokesman said.
The company's Chiptopia loyalty program promotion, which awards free food and merchandise when customers achieve a certain amount of points, lasts until Sept. 30.
Chicken chain Chick-fil-A will introduce new, healthy items to its menu, including quinoa grain bowls and a protein smoothie.
Two new items will hit test markets across the country on Monday.
The first of many new options to hit select menus are the Harvest Kale and Grain Bowl and the Egg White Grill Grain Bowl.
The Harvest Kale & Grain Bowl features a hearty blend of red quinoa, white quinoa and farro, roasted butternut squash and diced apples on a bed of chopped kale, according to a Chick-fil-A press release. It is topped with a goat and feta cheese blend and tart dried cherries, served with a blend of roasted nuts and a light balsamic vinaigrette dressing.
The Egg White Grill Grain Bowl includes the same grain blend of red quinoa, white quinoa and farro, plus scrambled egg whites, grilled chicken and a Monterey jack and cheddar cheese blend.
"While we will always serve the classic menu items we're known for, we are also excited to try new ingredients that we hope will satisfy our customers' requests and allow us to stay on-top of new flavor trends," said David Farmer, vice president of menu strategy and development. "Our new Harvest Kale & Grain Bowl and Egg White Grill Grain Bowl are nutritious, hearty options for breakfast, lunch or dinner. We hope customers in the test markets think they're delicious; we can't wait to find out what they think to help determine if these items should be added to menus nationwide."
The Egg White Grill Grain Bowl and the Harvest Kale & Grain Bowl will be offered at participating restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area, Sacramento, Tampa, Florida, and Huntsville, Alabama.
Three other breakfast items will be offered at Chick-fil-A locations in New York, New Jersey, San Diego, Columbia, South Carolina, and Washington, D.C. later this year.
The Hash Brown Scramble, which can be served in either a bowl or as a burrito, the Egg White Grill Bowl and the Berry Protein Blend breakfast smoothie will be offered for a limited time during breakfast hours this fall.
The Hash Brown Scramble includes Chick-fil-A Hash Browns, scrambled eggs, a Monterey Jack cheddar cheese blend and a choice of sliced Chick-fil-A Nuggets or sausage. It is served with jalapeño salsa.
The Egg White Grill Bowl contains freshly scrambled egg whites, a Monterey Jack cheddar cheese blend and sliced grilled chicken. It is also served with jalapeño salsa.
The Berry Protein Blend is a breakfast beverage made with chia seeds, ancient grains, mixed berries and yogurt. It is handspun with a small amount of Chick-fil-A's Icedream ice cream and topped with granola.
"More people are eating breakfast away from home, and we want to meet the needs of our guests by providing breakfast options that span a variety of nutritional needs, tastes and ingredients," Matt Abercrombie, senior consultant of menu development, said in a press release. "In addition to our classic breakfast offerings our customers know and love, like our Chick-fil-A Chicken Biscuit or Chick-n-Minis, we're excited to offer three new breakfast items for our customers to try and help us determine whether or not we launch them nationwide."
In July, Chick-fil-A introduced the Egg White Grill, a lower-calorie a breakfast sandwich comprised of egg whites and cheese on an English muffin. It replaced the spicy chicken biscuit. Customers can also order the Chicken Egg & Cheese breakfast sandwich on the newly added English muffin.

Two women recently took to social media to post photos of worms that they found in their food after eating sandwiches from McDonald's.

Tuesday, Lacey Jo Lovett, of Kentucky, said she finished eating a McChicken from a McDonald's restaurant in Draffenville, Kentucky, when she picked up a piece of lettuce on the sandwich wrapper and found a worm.

Just two days prior, Madison Stephens had experienced a similar situation at a McDonald's in Mayfield, Kentucky, 25 miles away.
Stephens said she took her 1-year-old son to the restaurant and ordered a fish sandwich and a cheeseburger.
Stephens ate half her fish sandwich when she said a worm fell out of it and started crawling towards her son's food.
"If I hadn't seen that worm, my son would have eaten that because it was already on top of his sandwich," she told WPSD. "That's how close he came to eating it."
Stephens said that initially, restaurant employees said they couldn't do anything about the order since she couldn't find her receipt.
She said she later complained to McDonald's officials, who sent her a $10 gift card in the mail.
But for Stephens, the gesture seemed like "a slap in the face," WPSD reported. She said she doesn't want money, but rather an inspection from the health department.
"That scared me, and as a mom, I don't want another child to have to experience something like that," she said.
"Food quality and safety are a top priority for us. We will continue to take all appropriate measures to gather all facts and resolve the matter," a McDonald's spokesman said in a statement following the incident.
Saturday, Michael Love, the owner-operator of the two restaurants, said he's been unable to substantiate Lovett's and Stephens' claims. He said inspections of the restaurants by health officials did not uncover any of the problems raised by the customers, the Associated Press reported.
So, got a fish sandwich and a cheeseburger for Brody and I and look what falls out my sandwich. I am COMPLETELY disgusted and will not be eating Mayfield McDonald's anymore. I thank God my son didn't eat this!Posted by Madison Stephens on Sunday, August 21, 2016
First Burger King started selling hot dogs. Now Chipotle has announced plans to stir things up by expanding its burrito and taco offerings to burgers with a new restaurant called Tasty Made.
The restaurant is set to open in Lancaster, Ohio, this fall.
Tasty Made's menu will be mostly limited to burgers, fries and shakes, and the restaurant will aim to promote better, cleaner food and ingredients -- just like Chipotle.
"Early fast food burger restaurants generally had focused menus," Chipotle CEO Steve Ells said in a release. "We think there's great strength in that original fast food model and wanted to create a restaurant built around that. Making only burgers, fries and shakes with really great ingredients, we think we can appeal to people's timeless love of burgers, but in a way that is consistent with our long-term vision.
"Tasty Made will use Responsibly Raised brand beef (from animals that are raised in more humane ways and without the use of antibiotics or added hormones), shakes made with real ingredients including milk, cream, sugar, eggs and other natural ingredients, and fresh-made buns that are free of preservatives, dough conditioners and other artificial ingredients."
Chipotle, which found success in positioning itself as an alternative to traditional fast-food chains, has been struggling to win back customers after a series of food scares in past years.
Chipotle has already ventured in the direction of different cuisines. In 2001, the company opened an Asian food restaurant called ShopHouse Southeast Asian Kitchen, which has 15 locations. The company also operates a pizza chain called Pizzeria Locale, which has five locations.

The Republican National Convention will be held at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland from July 18–21.
But whether you're in the area before the convention, during it or afterwards, the city boasts many delicious foods for hungry visitors to fill up on.
The city's food culture is heavily influenced by its Chinese, Italian, Polish, Ukrainian, Slovenian and German immigrants, as well as African-Americans and other ethnic groups.
Here are some of the best places to eat in Cleveland and what you should order, according to Dayton.com:
A Florida restaurant had bad luck when a health inspection report said a roach fell from the ceiling onto someone walking through the establishment -- the health inspector.
WPLG reported that the inspection took place at Argenti Pizza in Tamarac, Florida, and the insect fell from the ceiling onto an iPad that the inspector was holding.
The inspector said in his report that there were multiple other roaches in the establishment other than the one that plopped onto his iPad, WPLG reported. The restaurant was shut down shortly afterward.
"Dead roaches on premises. Observed 10 dead between the wall and steam table in the kitchen," the report said, according to WPLG. "Observed 2 dead on the shelf with plates above the chest freezer. Observed 50 dead roaches under the cooking equipment and four dead on the legs of the large mixer. Observed nine dead roaches in the reach-in freezer on the cook line. Two dead roaches on the floor by the reach-in freezer next to, the back door. Observed 20 dead roaches on the floor under the three-compartment sink next to the hole in the wall. Observed 75 dead roaches on the floor by the walk-in cooler."

Barnes & Noble is merging books and booze to save its book business.
The bookseller is opening four concept stores around the U.S. that will feature full restaurants that sell beer and wine.
Barnes & Noble already has Starbucks cafes in most of its bookstores, but the new restaurants will feature breakfast, lunch and dinner menus, and a server will take your order.
The first store will open in Eastchester, New York, in October. The three other stores will be in Edina, Minnesota; Folsom, California; and Loudoun County, Virginia, Fortune reported.
It seemed too good to be true for Skye Seumptewa when she opened the ticket book left by her customer and more than $1,000 was in there. She knew something was up, and that suspicion was confirmed when her former customer returned the next day to get his money back.
KUSA reported the man was eating at Thailicious, an Edgewater, Colorado, restaurant, on Monday night and sat at the bar, ordering a few glasses of wine with a meal before paying for his check. According to Seumptewa, he settled the bill and left, which is when she noticed the bounty of bills left inside.
"We thought he was just some super-loaded dude who wanted to make our night," she told KUSA.
Bee Anantatho, one of the restaurant's owners, said he and the workers were excited, but also a little skeptical. "(The server) was so excited about it. He said he's heard of the stories like this, but not with this much money. Like $400. This was something huge. I said maybe we should wait because that's too much money. Let's wait to see if he comes back or not."
The customer returned and said he was a little drunk when he left the original tip. "He came in and asked for the money back," Anantatho added. "He thought he lost it. He said he was a little drunk, and I think he believed that he counted 20 bills of money so I think that he believed that it was all singles."
The man left them with a $40 tip instead, the Denver Post reported.
Anantatho, who co-owns the restaurant with his wife, Surachai Surabotsopon, said they decided to give the money back for karma.
"Many people have said we have a right to keep the money, since it was already in the checkbook," he said. "I believe in karma, so if it's not ours, then we should give it back. He's still welcome."

What sort of a society do we live in? On a recent Richard and Judy TV show a man and his wife with their disabled girl were interviewed. The man has to sell one of his kidneys to the highest bidder to provide for the child. If his kidney is unsuitable, then his wife will become a donor.
Then we saw the unfortunates in Ethiopia; people starving yet proud. A country with no assets to strip, 86pc unemployed.
In the past and in the present, countries and multi-national companies have reaped the wealth of the world.
If Ethiopia had oil or diamonds galore, would these same countries and companies recognise their plight and invest ever more?
The billions spent on weapons of mass destruction, or even the millions spent looking for them, could have been used building the infrastructure of Ethiopia.
No one should have to sell their organs and no one should have to sit and see their family members starve to death.
In the headlines we see settlements in the future will be built on the moon and Mars. Let's get this world put right before we explore any further.

I've seen quite a few different variations on the inline skate including the addition of larger wheels for off-road travel and even an electric motor so you don't have to exercise at all. But the Booster Blades are definitely the most unique, and quite possibly the most dangerous set of inline skates I've ever seen. The easiest way to wrap your head around the crazy looking mechanism is to think of the Booster Blades as a cross between a set of inline skates and a bicycle. The rider uses a natural 'stepping' or 'pedaling' motion which is translated to the rear wheels via gears, sprockets and a chain to propel them forward.
Drive is via a belt over a spiral cam, which turns a 33 tooth sprocket, from which a 6mm pitch chain drives an 11 tooth sprocket on the back axle. The back axle drives the rear wheel through a freewheel, giving forward propulsion geared up 4:1.
Braking is achieved by a specially shaped brake block, which presses on the back tyre when the boot plate is tilted back. This can only be done when the mechanism is in the down position.
Apparently the Booster Blades gives the rider more speed for less effort, but they can also be 'locked down' and used as conventional inline skates at the push of a button. And while previous experience with inline skates is a plus, according to their website the Booster Blades still have a bit of a learning curve that's not unlike learning to ride a bicycle.

We Always Dream Of Dollywood!
Our refrigerator magnets hold art and drawings from our kids, weekly schedules for preschool, important contact numbers, a family calendar AND a list of essential items to bring to Dollywood.
Randa loves lists, especially when it comes to packing things our family of four needs for week long beach trips or day trips to Dollywood. She takes the kids to Dollywood so often her packing list now has a permanent place in our kitchen.
The word Dollywood has become an adjective in our house, too. The kids have their Dollywood shoes, their Dollywood clothes, Dollywood cups and we always bring the Dollywood double stroller.
And don't forget the Dollywood season passes!
What makes Dollywood so cool?
Our family is lucky to be about 2 hours away from one of the best family theme parks in Tennessee.
We took the kids to Dollywood again this past week and while we were watching them splash around in one of the kids playground areas, we started talking about why we love taking them here so much.
Randa said she loves how safe she feels with the kids at Dollywood. She never worries about them. Ever.
Dollywood does a fantastic job of creating a special family atmosphere, and it all starts as soon as we see the big Dollywood sign and enter the grounds.
The staff are very friendly, they always have smiles on their faces and they're so happy to see our kids having a great time. Everyone from the parking staff, the greeters at the front gates and the helpful attendants who manage the rides, they're all awesome at what they do.
And it really helps that the majority of the staff at the rides for kids are seniors, people who probably have kids and grandchildren of their own, so when they buckle up our kids maybe they're seeing visions of their own loved ones being safe and having fun. Their enthusiasm and happiness is easy to see, and it doesn't just come across as good customer service, it comes across as genuine joy and caring for all the kids at Dollywood.
Attention to Detail at Dollywood
I really like the vintage decorations and landscaping throughout all 150 acres of Dollywood, nothing has been overlooked.
I enjoy the weathered wooden benches that have been smoothed down over the years, the aged barn wood fences, the vintage crates and boxes, the classic advertising signs and glimpses of what life was like for Dolly Parton when she grew up in the mountains of Tennessee.
The roses, creeping vines, pine straw, various flowers and shrubs and mulchy areas are all in perfect condition without a weed in sight. And I've never seen anyone tending to the gardens.
It must be magic!
Kids Favorites at Dollywood
I asked the kids what their favorite rides at Dollywood are and Sydney said all the rides! No favorites? Nope, she loves all of them. And Trey didn't hesitate when he said his favorite ride is the scrambler!
We spend almost the entire day at the kids section getting our faces painted, riding the ferris wheel, the shooting star, the bees, ducks and pigs, the elephants that go up and down, the kids coaster, the merry-go-round and the cool cars...and don't forget the River Rampage!
And now Sydney is tall enough to ride the swings with us. Yay! Soon Trey will be tall enough, too. Maybe next year?
When we were there last week I tried Dippin Dots for the first time! How have I lived all these years without these tiny dots of ice cream deliciousness in my life? I'm not sure how I've missed these before but I can guarantee I'll be getting a large cup of cookie dough Dippin Dots on every visit!
The kids love them, too!
A Family Tradition at Dollywood
Randa has been going to Dollywood for as long as she remember. Before we were married she went with her girlfriends and her Mom and couldn't wait to take me to see her favorite theme park when I moved to North Carolina.
Her memory stick is loaded with pictures of her at Dollywood over the years, but a couple of the pics stands out the most for me because they show how the merry-go-round is definitely becoming a family tradition for us.
And one more little bit of family tradition happens every night at our house. Before bed we do a special prayer and ask that no bad dreams come into our bedrooms, the kids choose happy thoughts and places to think about to keep the bad dreams away.
We always dream of Dollywood.
Winter 2017 UPDATE: Sydney is now tall enough to ride all the rides (except the Wild Eagle) Woohoo!

CBGB is a 2013 American docudrama film about the New York City music venue of the same name.
Covering a very important chapter in Rock And Roll history, the movie chronicles events that took place in the late 70s and early 80s New York Punk, Underground, Prog-Rock & New Wave scenes surrounding a whole-in-the-wall venue located in the East Village of Manhattan.
The film uses a comic-book styled panels device that introduce different "pages" of the story. It is told largely from the point of view of Hilly Kristal, the owner of the club during this time and an interesting character.
It is currently available on Netflix; free with subscription. You can also view the entire movie on YouTube. We screened via Netflix last week. We found the trailer on YouTube. (posted below)
Great if you Already Know the Story : 4 STARS ☼☼☼☼
If you are a fan of 80s New York Punk and New Wave you must see this movie. You will love it. It is thrilling to see these bands played by actors. Many of them are spot on. If you are a fan you are going to be familiar with most of the bands that are mentioned and you already know they played at CBGB. This movie well help glue together lots of bits and pieces of information that many fans know something about. Furthermore, we get insight from the point of view of the club's owner which is a very satisfying device.
The character of Hilly is played by Alan Rickman. You may remember him from the Harry Potter movies. We also noticed Johnny Galecki; that guy from the Big Bang Theory.
But if you are not at all familiar with the bands from this period you may be left confused at times. The movie fails to spell out a lot of things that would help a newcomer to the story. If this is you, I suggest you make friends with a fan and let him or her play you a bunch of records first.
Some of the acts that are portrayed in the film are as follows: The Ramones, Blondie, Lou Reed, Iggy and the Stooges, Television, The Talking Heads, The Police, Patti Smith & The Dead Boys. We would love to own a two-disc extended soundtrack with the music of these bands. How great would that be!

Global Health Action 10(1), September 2017
12 pp. 1.4 MB
Mobile instant messaging (MIM) tools, such as WhatsApp, have transformed global communication practice. In the field of global health, MIM is an increasingly used, but little understood, phenomenon. It remains unclear how MIM can be used by rural community health workers (CHWs) and their facilitators, and what are the associated benefits and constraints. To address this gap, WhatsApp groups were implemented and researched in a rural setting in Malawi. Despite some challenges and constraints, the implementation of WhatsApp was received positively by the CHWs and it was found to be a useful tool to support distributed rural health work.

I am 75 years old man and suffering from acute knee pain. Dr. Suggested for knee replacement. Can you suggest some homeopathic or ayurvedic medicine to get rid of this knee problem. I can not stand for more than 3 minutes, Please suggests.
Plz share your x-ray. If the osteoarthritis is in severe stage. Then total knee replacement is best solution for your. Problem. Analgesic (pain killer) medicine is only temporary solution. Welcare hospital (Baroda) for knee replacement is best. They have very good result of and hospital is very advanced.
My uric acid is 8.2 and I am taking feburic 40 tablet. I have pain in my toe which is max in morning .after taking medicine since 10 days I have no improvement please advice.
Knee pain starts first time by squatting in play ground. Later on it increases day by day. Blood test shows high uric acid (8.2) too (RA factor and C reactive protein negative). Now uric acid is normal (5) but knee pain still persist. During standing position it's very painful and uncomfortable in comparison with walking. It's very irritating for me. What should I do?
Right knee with MRI result as: Findings are suggestive of. Mid substance anterior cruciate ligament tear. Moderate joint effusion. Marrow contusion involving the medial femoral condyle. Medial meniscus contusion. Please suggest what is needed to be done.
Consult orthopedic doctor. If the instability is more. Than go for arthroscopic repair. Meantime apply ice and wear knee cap.
I had a fall from a treadmill and hurt my shoulder. My MRI says bursitis and SLAP II lesion with high grade partial tear .Do you think this will heal in 15 days and can avoid surgery.
I am a CA FINAL STUDENT. I have to study for long hours. There is a very bad pain at the back (left & right) side of my neck. This pain is there for a long time. This has been increasing since then. I consulted a local doctor, he suggested some Physiotherapy sessions, but I can't afford to go to a physiotherapist every day as I don't have much free time. Please suggest something.
Do neck movement exercise .and isometric of neck. Maintain proper posture while studying. Do stretching regualary.
My mother knee problem since 8 months no any medicine useful us from my mother so please tell me which doctor we should see.
Consult .orthopeadic doctor. Till then apply ice over knee. And avoid squating, if the patient has history of twitsting the knee. Do mri of knee. (sos) .do x ray of knee ,ap, lat,skyline and consult personally.
Sir, I was very fat boy I lost 30 kg weight by skipping and running on hard surface, that's why My both knees have been paining now badly for 8 months ,I can't stand for 5 minutes continuously ,I can't run ,can't walk fast, I took medicines, calcium ,tablets, vitamin D tablet, There is not any injury found in X-ray. I am very sad for this problem. How do I get rid of this problem please plz suggest Thank you.
Sr. Uric acid and mri of knee are advice to do. Meanwhile do ice application. Avoid over use of knee.
Two days back I met an accident on my bike I have swelling on my right leg Its cause some pain It is above the ankle Can you suggest anything.

Grilled Chicken Parmesan
We recently got a hold of RecTec's latest offering, The Bullseye! Anytime we get a new grill at GrillGrate HQ we use it as an excuse to cook lunch for the office staff. After a brief discussion a unanimous decision was made and lunch would be a grilled chicken Parmesan. Grilling the chicken rather than frying it obviously has its health advantages and the pellet grill we grilled it on added a wonderful smoky flavor. A pretty simple and quick recipe made with mostly store bought already prepared ingredients.
Spicy Buffalo-Blue Cheese Turkey Burger with Creamy Carrot Slaw
All the flavors of a plate of hot wings are represented in this unique turkey burger recipe. Carrots, celery, hot wing sauce and blue cheese crumbles all find their way into unassuming ground turkey. The resulting burger is an interesting mash up of flavors and textures that is sure to please.
Shanghai Duck Burger
This past spring at a trade show in Las Vegas we were continually entranced by the smell of bacon. This was not any ordinary bacon, this was extraordinary duck bacon from Maple Leaf Farms. Upon meeting the fine folks from Maple Leaf Farms duck has made its way onto our radar and onto our GrillGrates. The rich red meat of duck is a natural on the grill. Like beef and lamb, duck meat should not be cooked all the way through or else it will dry out. Here is an Asian inspired recipe that is full of flavor and low on fat.
Grilled and Seared Duck Breast
We like to refer to duck as the other red meat. The brightly flavored bird lends itself perfectly to high heat grilling much like a good ribeye steak. There are two tricks to cooking duck breast successfully: do not overcook the meat, duck breast can be served medium and grill skin side down to render as much fat as you can for crispy skin. Here is a very simple and straightforward recipe for cooking duck breast on your grill.
Bacon Wrapped Chicken Breast
This recipe is one that I grill at least once a week. These ingredients make the perfect pair, when the bacon is done the chicken is too.

Mumbai: Salman Khan has drawn the ire of a number of people for making a bizarre remark about his experience while shooting for the wrestling scenes in 'Sultan'. The Bollywood superstar put his foot in the mouth thereby inviting trouble and brickbats.
According to a report in dnaindia.com, originally attributed to SpotboyE.com, Salman said, "While shooting, during those six hours, there'd be so much of lifting and thrusting on the ground involved. That was tough for me because if I was lifting, I'd have to lift the same 120-kilo guy 10 times for 10 different angles. And likewise, get thrown that many times on the ground. This act is not repeated that many times in the real fights in the ring. When I used to walk out of the ring, after the shoot, I used to feel like a raped woman. I couldn't walk straight. I would eat and then, head right back to training. That couldn't stop."
However, according to a report in Bollywoodlife.com, Salman quickly realised his mistake and reportedly said, "I don't think I should have said that…".
Bollywoodlife.com apparently has the audio byte of Salman's interview where towards the end, he realises that he had said something extremely unpleasant and felt they were uncalled for.

"We can visualize him at 5 in the morning in his room, on his knees with his Bible, his Greek New Testament, and a volume of Matthew Henry spread out before him. With intense concentration he reads a portion in English, studies its words and tenses in the Greek, and then considers Matthew Henry's exposition of the whole. Finally comes his unique posture of 'praying over every line and every word' in both the English and the Greek, feasting his mind and his heart upon it till its essential meaning has become a part of his very person. When we shortly see him preaching forty and more hours per week with virtually no time whatsoever for preparation, we may look back upon these days and recognize that he was then laying up a store of knowledge on which he was able to draw amidst the tumult and hast of that later ministry" (Arnold A. Dallimore, George Whitefield: God's Anointed Servant in the Great Revival of the Eighteenth Century, pg. 22)
George Muller (1898), after reading Whitefield's biography and concluding that the source of his evangelistic power to be his reverence and approach to the word of God and his passionate prayer life. So, George Muller took up the practice of reading his Bible on his knees. What Whitefield was in Evangelism, Muller was with Faith (e.g. 50,000 cases where he could trace distinct answers to definite prayers). (A.T. Peirson: George Muller of Bristol: His Life of Prayer and Faith, pgs. 137-139)
"Therefore, I will always be ready to remind you of these things, even though you already know them, and have been established in the truth which is present with you." - 2 Peter 1:12

When in comes to vaccination, there are two groups of people. One group believes without a doubt that vaccine is essential and must-get because without it, mankind will be plagued by diseases long ago eradicated. To them, vaccination is the cornerstone of civilisation.
The second group questions the safety and efficacy of vaccination. People in this group includes healthcare professionals and people who have personal experience with vaccine injury. The first group accuses this group of fear mongering that is not backed by science and research.
I read this book because I want to see if the allegation against the second group is true.
This book is divided into three parts. Part 1 discusses the case for vaccination choice and its legal implications. Because the authors are Americans, the discussions are centered around U.S. law, but the fundamental arguments about the rights of parents to decide what is best for their children's health is valid in any country.
Part 2 consists of stories of people whose children had been vaccine-injured and people who have become a victim of vaccine injury themselves.
Part 3 presents the debates on various hot topics concerning vaccination. Among the topics discussed are the symbiosis between the pharmaceutical industry and government agencies that are responsible for the approval of new vaccines. Also discussed in the controversial case of Dr. Andrew Wakefield and Prof. Walker-Smith who had their reputations smeared and their careers destroyed due to a research they did about the relation between MMR vaccine and autism.
Each chapter is accompanied with an extensive list of references, including to scientific medical research on the efficacy of vaccines. You can look up each reference to verify the information in this book. I dare say, the allegation that anti-vaxxers are not based on science is baseless.
The truth is, people who are labeled anti-vaxxers are not against vaccine per se. What they're campaigning for is a more rigorous and independent testing of vaccine safety.
At the end of the day, it is up to you to decide what is best for your health and your children's health. There is ample research done on the efficacy and risks of vaccines by healthcare professionals, published in reputable medical journals. Read them yourselves and then make an informed decision. You cannot make an informed decision while blindly following the crowd, regardless of which direction the crowd is going.
Here is something for you to ponder: if vaccines are 100% safe and risk-free, why has $3 billion in compensation been paid to people who have been vaccine-injured?
Get this book from this store or that store.

The Bag:
My handbag at the moment is this Fossil, brown leather, shoulder bag that I got for christmas. It is a really good satchel as it has loads and loads of pockets and a good comfortable strap which doesn't hurt my shoulder. It keeps out of the way so I can work Laila well without scaring her with a slipping bag.
You may laugh, but my keys are caribbean clipped to the strap of my bag because they would simply run away if they were anywhere else. A large purple turtle and a tiny lego man wearing a bandana keep guard of my RADAR and house key.
In the front compartments of my bag I have two of my tear duct replacement treatments, a tiny spring pen, a little flick out magnifier and my bus pass.
Second Pocket:
More of my portable pharmacy, a bottle of 'morning energy' moisturiser which I hardly ever use but like the idea of using. A packet of mentos just because they are yummy. Carbomer gel (another tear thing), paracetamol, antihistamine for my pathetic allergies and vocal zone throat pastels for choir.
Main Compartment:
Kindle - always the reader-, earphones, and a high visibility vest for when I'm out before the sun has woken up (how long is this winter lark going to go on for?!) or when I go for a wander in the dark.
Various Pockets in the Middle:
My purse, which contains various bits and bobs, a ring which I love and aspire to wear but I get frustrated with it quite quickly and take it off. My iPod is in here too, I used the cash machine yesterday so the earphones are in another pocket separately. And my phone, but I am taking the photos with that!
Back Pocket:
Black and red, rather old, fingerless gloves. Spending bags for Laila (ever practical) and some Carex refreshing wipes.
So in summary my bag is very full, very practical and is basically my survival kit for any situation I may come across.
Check out my fellow participants:

Softer Than Steel by Jessica Topper: Based several years after the first in the Love & Steel series, "Riff Rotten" Rick Rottenberg is on top of the music world with his once-again bandmate, Adrian, except his anxiety is through the roof. Unable to cope well after the death of his wife several years ago, Rick is a mess. His only savior his band.
Until he walks into Sidra's yoga studio and she provides peace for the restless Rick. But Sidra has her own issues. A bad ex, a dead mother, and her business could be doing a bit better. Together, however, they each grow stronger and become whole once again through the help of the other.
"Sod it," he mustered under his next inhale, and she felt a rush of air as his arms swept to pull her toward him, his lips landing on hers in a decadent crush.
"I always know where your body is in space," he murmured, capturing her top lip in both of his. "I can't get you off my mind, Sidra."
Softer than Steel just didn't work for me. When I read a romance I want passion and I didn't feel that well in this story. The author wanted to write a beautiful novel, and it certainly is beautiful writing, but as beautiful as it was, it felt like Topper was trying too hard.
With an extremely slow build up, I waited and waited for them to be even in the same room for an extended period, let alone in a relationship of some sort with one another. The angst, too, on both their parts was extreme. I wanted more focus on the building connection between the two than Rick's out of this world anxiety and Sidra's bitterness.
But, if you appreciate a slow build up and more of the emotional building of your individual characters, perhaps you'll enjoy Softer than Steel by Jessica Topper.
Book Info:
Publication: September 15, 2015 | InterMix | Love & Steel #2
From the author of Deeper than Dreams and the Much "I Do" About Nothing novels, a story that proves that you have to find yourself before you can find love…
As rock star "Riff Rotten", Rick Rottenberg has enjoyed all the perks that fame can offer, especially now that he's reunited with his former band mate, Adrian "Digger" Graves. But despite his success, Rick is a mess. Still reeling from the death of his wife years ago and terrified his demons will end his career, he agrees to seek help for his anxiety.
Burned by a musician in the past, Sidra Sullivan has closed her heart to love. So when Rick walks into her yoga studio, she wants nothing to do with him–until the bad boy shows an unexpected soft side.
As Sidra and Rick work through their painful pasts, they realize just how strongly opposites can attract. But when a crisis threatens the delicate balance they've forged, they'll discover if their love is strong enough to weather another storm or just too broken to survive….

As I have mentioned before, I'm thinking about the colour purple as the main theme for our home during the holidays. However, I'm not going to cling to it, I'm not going to run around shops desperately trying to find the perfect purple ornaments. I'll keep my mind open if I see something in another colour that appeals to me.
I like the minimalism in these images; this is exactly what I'm aiming for.

I had to include this purple theme tear sheet from BoligLiv because my daughters are fascinated by the knitted cupcakes. Believe me, I won't be knitting cupcakes!
