We had the most wonderful Mothers day yesterday. My Grandmother, who we really thought we had lost earlier this year is doing wonderfully. We've had to move her to a Nursing Home which caused us so much heartache. She is a very much loved Mother, Grandmother & Great grandmother. However she reached a point that made it impossible for us to manage her in her villa. The ACAT Assessment team ruled out her coming to live with us as I already have MS and wouldn't have the physical strength to manage day to day with her. Both my mother & Aunt still work (both nurses) so she was still in a hospital waiting a placement in a Nursing home. Other family's we spoke to all said they had been waiting 9-12 months plus to get a place, but only through the Lord we waited less then 9 days. We also got her into the Home of our choice. This has been such a blessing to us. Since she has been there her health has improved amazingly well even to the point that she was able to attend my cousins wedding. This was a miracle! We purchased a wheelchair and as you can see on the back it say's LOL on Board. She is very affectionately referred to as Little Old Lady or LOL for short. (no end of uses for my Silhouette machine)
Well my Grandmother turns 90 this week so another party is planned to celebrate this amazing milestone. In our family history no one has lived to this age. Her mother closest at 84 but 90 is amazing.
The other special thing about our mothers day was that my Aunt was diagnosed with Breast cancer a few days before her daughters wedding. She has had 1 round of surgery and due for more tomorrow. Following this she will start Chemo, radiation etc. We decided as a family to forgo any mothers day gifts and pool the money we would have spent to make a donation to the Jane McGrath Foundation on behalf of my Aunt. She's a crier, so needless to say she was overwhelmed as we all were with the 'specialness' of this Mother Day.
My mother, as usual put on an amazing spread. Mum always goes past the extra mile for table decoration. She had all our Great, Great Grandmothers tablecloths, flowers and wonderful food. After it was over we all wanted to head home for a nap but no my mother was off to work doing the afternoon shift. Her energy amazes me.
As for me, I have been, well coveting really, a new Canon Camera. My husband tried really hard to get the one I wanted but it was just a little out of our financial reach. This was not at all a realistic purchase in my mind anyway, so him just trying was worth more than the camera. However my Uncle, affectionately know to us as the dinosaur doctor with him being a Paleontologist, does have a new Canon 5d ii, in my mind the ultimate in camera ownership. Anyway he also had a very beautiful Canon Powershot pro 1 that he wasn't using now. And would you know he said, "look if you would like it you are more than welcome to it"!!!!!!
WOULD I LIKE IT!!!!! I LOVE IT!!! We went out to their place, and he has never been a man that does anything by halves. This thing had the lot and more in as if I just picked it up from the store myself. I know yesterday was the Sabbath, but I went straight to bed with camera manual and bag in hand. Awesome blessing once again!!
So all in all yesterday was a fantastic day. All my children, their husbands, my mother, Aunt & Uncle and my beautiful Grandmother all together for a most wonderful day. Some times you can just feel that cup running over.

How Financial Institutions Can Leverage The Mobile Opportunity/
While retailers are starting to master the mobile marketing mix and create seamless omni-channel experiences for their customers, financial institutions and in particular retail banks, are still lagging behind. According to Online Media Daily, "some 40% of banking occurs on smartphones and tablets. While half of those consumers search for information, the remainder complete transactions like paying bills or transferring funds, according to new research. Without a mobile app and Web site, brands lose the connection with customers."
Additionally and pulling findings from the same banking and finance edition of xAD's "Mobile Path to Purchase" report, Mobile Commerce Daily notes that "sixty-five percent of smartphone banking and finance takes place on the go" and in fact, "62 percent of smartphone and tablet users expected for a business that they were looking for to be within five miles of where they were."
What does this mean for a banks marketing department? That 65% of nearly half your banking customers are using your app or mobile website within 5 miles of one of your brick-and-mortar locations.
And that's why you need location. Location-based marketing drives up response rates with relevance. Set your geofences with a 5 mile radius of your location and use a customizable location-based campaign management platform that can deliver dynamic and customized content in real-time.
But don't just rely on your app. Smartphone adoption may have eclipsed feature phone usage in the US earlier this year but 35% of US wireless subscribers still use them. So make sure you use a campaign management platform that can deliver both in-app notifications and via SMS/MMS so offers can be delivered to any device, on any carrier.

It isn't just show dog owners who will need the help of the best dog groomers Norwich has to offer – no, all kinds of dogs will need to have their coats regularly cut, cleaned and combed. This includes working dogs, and while there may not be one set of hard and fast rules for all working breeds, there are certainly some guidelines to follow.
Working dogs may not get dinner until they've done a day's work, but their coats still need to be regularly tended to by their owners. Hunting breeds like cocker spaniels love to get muddy in their working life, so their coat needs to be groomed often to prevent it becoming too tangled and matted with mud and dirt. In between visits to the groomer, this can be done by waiting for the mud to dry before combing it out.
Working dogs may not need to be as precisely trimmed as a prize-winning poodle, but ensuring their coat is kept under control is still important for their own health and well-being, especially in warmer months where they are still being put to work. Shampooch offers speedy clipping services at your location with our mobile unit, perfect for visiting Norwich's farms for some Border Collie trimming!
We know that your working dogs aren't used to being spoilt in quite the same way that some pet dogs are by their owners, but roping in the Norwich's top dog groomer is the ideal way to save you time grooming your dog yourself. We also groom golden retrievers and Labradors, so if you are disabled and need a groomer to attend to your assistance dog's needs, Shampooch could be the perfect choice.

The Ride For Roswell Opens Registration for 2018
BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Ride For Roswell presented by West Herr Automotive Group has launched registration for its 2018 event, taking place on Saturday, June 23. Community members of all ages and cycling experience are invited to sign up to ride or volunteer at RideForRoswell.org.
More than 10,000 riders and volunteers of all ages are expected to take part in this year's Ride to raise funds for cancer research and patient-care programs at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center. The Ride is the single largest fundraising event in Western New York and the state's largest single-day cycling fundraiser.
The 2018 fundraiser will feature 11 routes ranging from three to 102 miles, including a 28 and 46-mile international Canada routes that depart from Roswell Park and finish at the University at Buffalo's North Campus (UB North). The RosRoll, which is offered with help from Slow Roll Buffalo, will return for its second year and will continue to start and finish with a celebration at the Roswell Park finish line.
The 102-mile Country Century route, which has been one of The Ride's select routes for experienced cyclers, is getting route updates that will provide new terrain and scenery for returning century riders.
To participate in The Ride, riders aged 18 and over are required to reach the fundraising minimum of $200 ($500 for Canada routes) by Ride Day; riders aged 17 and under have a fundraising minimum of $50 for all routes.
Ride Weekend kicks off on Friday, June 22 with the Peloton, a 12-mile route that is reserved for a qualified group of top fundraisers who raise $1,000 or more. The Peloton riders will ride in two-by-two formation from Roswell Park to UB North and join the Celebration of Hope event, a moving and inspirational community rally in support of the fight against cancer. On Saturday, June 23, after months of fundraising efforts, thousands of riders will embark on their routes from start lines at UB North and Roswell Park.
Since the first Ride For Roswell in 1996, the event has raised more than $42 million for cancer research and patient care at Roswell Park.

Hooked: Write Fiction That Grabs Readers at Page One & Never Lets Them Go
NOOK Book(eBook)
Available on Compatible NOOK Devices and the free NOOK Apps.
The road to rejection is paved with bad beginnings. Agents and editors agree: Improper story beginnings are the single biggest barrier to publication. Why? If a novel or short story has a bad beginning, then no one will keep reading. It's just that simple.
In Hooked, author Les Edgerton draws on his experience as a successful fiction writer and teacher to help you overcome the weak openings that lead to instant rejection by showing you how to successfully use the ten core components inherent to any great beginning. You'll find:
- Detailed instruction on how to develop your inciting incident
- Keys for creating a cohesive story-worthy problem
- Tips on how to avoid common opening gaffes like overusing backstory
- A rundown on basics such as opening scene length and transitions
- A comprehensive analysis of more than twenty great opening lines from novels and short stories

Have read this book twice and on my third reading; find new things to apply to my writing every reading!!! A must have for every creative writer's resource library.
This is an instruction manual - a "how-to" for opening lines, opening paragraphs for fiction, short stories, or novels. It's been a long while since I've read this type of book, but never-the-less I usually enjoy them. So, my review is from the standpoint of a fan of writing books. That said, this is a great book. It reads easy; it is not a boring list of instruction to slog through. It's fun, yet it contains much good advice with interesting and entertaining examples by familiar authors. I doubt a writer can read this book without gaining a few new nuggets to consider, and not merely regarding beginnings. Writers of reports at the office, articles or blogs, short stories, or novels, all should gain something. To writers of all stripes, I recommend this.
The information in this book is great. Edgerton helps authors avoid having buyers put books back down and halps them avoid the "sagging middle."
Book Review HOOKED: Write Fiction That Grabs Readers at Page One and Never Lets Them Go By Les Edgerton Writer¿s Digest Books, 2007 THE BOOK ABOUT BEGINNINGS Books about fiction-writing tend to fall into one of three categories: · A-Z books, which address a wide spectrum of fiction-writing issues · Quasi-biographical books, which are as much about the author as they are about writing · Narrow-focus books, which take an in-depth look at a specific aspect of fiction-writing Hooked, by Les Edgerton, focuses on one aspect of fiction-writing: beginnings. In general, readers should expect a narrow-focus book to: · Adequately address its topic of focus, compiling and reorganizing the body of existing information · Debunk misinformation and out-of-date practices about the topic · Offer new ideas and insight about the topic Les Edgerton has accomplished all of these in Hooked. Why a whole book about beginnings? As explained by Edgerton, ¿The simple truth is, if your beginning doesn¿t do the job it needs to, the rest of the story most likely won¿t be read by the agent or editor or publisher you submit it to.¿ Edgerton addresses misinformation and out-of-date practices from a historical perspective and as they relate to literary fiction. Whenever an author sheds new light on a subject, there is a risk that someone will be offended: no exception here. Writers, of any genre, in the habit of beginning stories with hefty servings of backstory or description get an earful. Those who believe that studying the classics is the key to understanding fiction may be turned off by Edgerton¿s take on beginnings: ¿. . . many of the great books from the past aren¿t practical structure models for today¿s market, particularly in the way some of those books begin.¿ And, ¿Beginnings have changed more than any other part of story structure.¿ Likewise, fans of literary fiction may take exception to some of Edgerton¿s observations. ¿Bookscan has revealed the decline of what is usually referred to as literary fiction. This category of fiction may be dying because it has stuck with the story structure model of yesteryear much more so than any other category.¿ To Edgerton¿s credit, Hooked goes beyond a mere regurgitation and reorganization of the subject of beginnings. A cornerstone of Edgerton¿s lesson is the distinction between what he refers to as the initial surface problem and the story-worthy problem. Edgerton also breaks new ground by introducing the concepts of: · Passive vs. active description · Passive vs. active backstory As with any new concept, time will tell whether these will be accepted by the writing community and incorporated into the body of knowledge surrounding the craft of fiction-writing. One of the challenges of any narrow-focus book is to take a subject (which is typically addressed in a magazine article or as a single chapter of a book) and fill a book-sized manuscript without resorting to repetition, filler, and padding. Although though some points are belabored and some of the examples are a bit tedious, there is plenty of valuable information and insight in Hooked. Critics of the book may note that some of the examples are overly literary and fall flat for writers of other genres, but Edgerton more than makes up for this shortfall with examples from popular movies. Although Edgerton pays homage to the use of scene and sequel, he doesn¿t adequately explain either, or how they may be used to construct beginnings. More information about fiction-writing modes would have been helpful. Maybe future editions of Hooked will address these issues. Hooked is organized into eleven chapters: · Story structure and scene · Opening scenes · Inciting incident, initial surface problem, story-worthy problem · Setup and backstory · Combining inciting incident, story-worthy problem, initial surface problem, setup, and backstory · Introducing characters · Foreshadowing, lan
This book is a must read for all writers whose stories have an arch, be it fiction or creative nonfiction! Fabulous examples of what works and clear explainations of why it works.
A book about beginnings, how to plan and execute a great start to your novel. There's a lot of good advice here. But it's very wordy, perhaps twice as long as it needed to be, and many of the examples of amazing beginnings don't seem to "hook" the way the author advertises. This is a useful book to skim.
Its a weird book
I've been to lots of writing classes, seminars, and workshops. I've heard many a time that you need to hook your reader right away. How do you do that? I've never gotten an answer that really helped me. Until now. HOOKED wiped the fog from my brain. Writing beginnings has never seemed so clear. It's easy to understand and follow. Each section gives you an important key: story-worthy problem, inciting incident, background. Edgerton helps to sweep away all the extra stuff and focus on what is vital to the story. He's funny and uses a lot of fantastic examples. There were many times I went "wow" or "oh!" It's brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. A writer friend of mine lent me this book. It's one of the greatest gifts she has ever given me. HOOKED is a book every writer needs to read.
An extremely useful and practical book, that lays out the elements of story openings. It describes the strengths and weaknessness of these elements, provides terrific examples, and it all written in a lightly humorous tone that makes it go down easy. This book illuminated a number of problems for me, personally, that I was having with backstory and setup, and will make a beneficial impact on my writing. Buy it! Read it. If you write with any intent to sell, it's worth your money and time. This is one of those books that can take years off the learning curve needed to becoming a writer with sales.
Edgerton presents his basic premise in the first few pages. It's worth the cost of the book. After that he needlessly reiterates his points in a folksy ramble. Included is a dismissal of Melodrama that belies his appeal to the importance of current taste and dramatic development. The book claims to be the only work focused exclusively on the beginnings of written works. It's not. Noah Lukeman's The First Five Pages is in a class by itself: the crafted ruminations of an actual editing professional.

Before I go any further I want to send another big thank you to Ann for the gift of this and the other wonderful kits she sent me. I love all them so much and can't wait to make them all.
Now onto today's project. This book kit makes up a wonderful illustrated book that has fold out pages to amaze the children in your dollhouse.
Like all book kits the key (and I can't emphasize this enough) is to work carefully and slowly. This is not the project to start if you are rushed. Books are not difficult at all but do take precision and time.
As with all kits look at all the pieces that come in the package first and make sure you know exactly what everything is. Next read all the instructions and think about each step. On book kits I like to do a kind of "dress rehearsal" in my head of the steps so I can visualize each and every step. The more thinking you do at the beginning the smoother the project will go.
I like to score all the marked fold lines before I cut anything. That way it is easier to hold the pages still and you still have the small marking that are on the pages next to the cut lines.
Once scored cut out the strips of pages making sure to note the gluing tabs at the ends of two of the three strips. The next step and this one is very important is to pre-fold on all those score lines. This will help you to understand which way everything goes and you can make sure that your score lines are straight. Take your time and make sure each of these strips folds to a nice, neat straight stack. It should be starting to look a bit like a book.
At this point glue those separate strips together to form one long strip of pages using those little tabs at the ends of two of the strips. Allow to dry.
Now using a piece of scrap paper to protect your work surface use a glue stick to glue the page backs together. Make sure that the end papers are left free. At this point I like to insert some small pieces of wax paper between the pages so that they don't stick where I don't want them to.
Now clamp the pages again making sure that everything is lined up properly.
Run a bead of glue along the side of the pages that will be glued to the spine of the cover allow this all to dry.
Meanwhile you can make your "hard cover" for your book. Simply score the fold lines on the cover test fit the interfacing and glue in place. Again I like to clamp to make sure it makes a good tight bond. Try to get your corners a bit neater than I did on the video.
Meanwhile you can make your "hard cover" for your book. Simply score the fold lines on the cover test fit the interfacing and glue in place. Again I like to clamp to make sure it makes a good tight bond. Try to get your corners a bit neater than I did on the video.
Once all to this is dry go ahead and glue the cover to the book along the spine and the the end pages.
Be very careful that you are gluing the cover on the book right side up. It only takes once of not making sure this step is correct to make you triple check it in the future. I do like to clamp the book and then allow it to completely dry.
Now your book is finished.
I chose not to make the book sleeve this time but it is included in the kit. I just have no use for it in my scene so I will save it for another use.

~Has anyone heard of the Swimming Anime video? It`s been everywhere since yesterday! My friends say it is just a parody or advertisement of sorts, so I do not think it is going to be made into an actual anime anytime soon, but if they do make it into an anime, I`ll watch! *giggles* The guys in it are so cute! Here`s a link to the YouTube video of it:
~The anime/advertisement sort of reminds me of Kuroko no Basuke/Basket(mainly because both the shows are to do with sports). I`m watching Kuroko now with a friend, at episode 4 at the moment. I can only watch it when my friend wants to watch it, so I have lots of free time now.
~Back to Swimming Anime, so far the best description for this short anime video is done by Chae/Squick on Tumblr. (Click the link! Come on! The description done by Squick is awesome its even on Crunchyroll!)
~Magi episode 21(The Dungeon Zagan) came out yesterday!! *Dances* Magi always manages to put a large grin on my face! I hope it carries on as long as Bleach or Naruto, cause it has been ages since I liked an anime as much as I do this one!! <3 The frustrating part is waiting for a whole week for the next episode. *sigh*
~Here is my favourite scene in Magi yesterday xD HAKURYUU`S VOICE!! It`s stuck in my head!! xD BAKA! BAKA! Oh man, I have the perfect one liner for this show: IN MAGI, MEN CRY!
~Lastly, I finished watching Ao no Exorcist(Blue Exorcist) yesterday. Finished the entire anime(25 episodes) in like, 4 days? I really liked it(AND WANT MORRRRE!!) The characters are cool and the story is interesting. Will do a proper review sort of post for it tomorrow (Maybe) ;)
~That`s all for now(wow its been ages since I have updated this blog ._.) Do you have any cool anime`s to suggest I watch while waiting patiently for Magi to release an episode every week?

With the form I set up currently on this account, I used a widget that would limit the amount of seating submitted to 100. However when I just downloaded the submissions, there is about 150+ seating reserved.
- JotForm SupportEltonCrisAnswered on April 07, 2015 at 11:29 AM
First off, the widget you are using does not limit the submissions entry.
Here's how to limit form submissions instead: http://www.jotform.com/help/137-How-to-Limit-Submissions-in-a-Form
With regards to the 150+ submissions, I can only see 52 submissions in your form as of this writing. However, the guide above should limit your form submissions once enabled.
Let us know if you have further questions. Thank you!
- laponteAnswered on April 09, 2015 at 04:53 PM
Hi Elton,
Sorry, I didn't mean submissions. There is a question on my form asking for # of seats and that should be limited to 100 (I used a gift counter widget). In the past it has worked perfectly fine, but this time around the # of seats went over 100 by 50.
- JotForm SupportWelvinAnswered on April 09, 2015 at 08:04 PM
The problem could be because of a conflict, especially if the form is embedded to your website using our default embed method.
If the form is embedded, I would recommend using our iFrame method: http://www.jotform.com/help/148-Getting-the-Form-iFrame-Code. Since the form is placed inside an iFrame, it shouldn't create any conflict in your website.

I have a paypal pro account. Per paypal regulations I can only have one name one my paypal account. Is it possible to have a name other than the one paypal has on file? I run a transportation company and a small retail website. I want to set up a form for the retail company but i dont want my transportation company name on it. Can you guys help me with this?
- JotForm SupportNeilVicenteAnswered on May 26, 2011 at 04:06 PM
I don't think that's possible because it is Paypal who processes your payment. When a user submits on your form, he/she will get redirected to the transaction page associated with the purchase, and guess where Paypal pulls out the name of the merchant? Yes, that's right, it is from your merchant account profile.
Like you said Paypal does not allow multiple names under one account, therefore, it is not possible to use another name for Paypal transactions initiated from Jotform.
Hope this post answers your question. If you have other queries or concerns, please let us know. Thank you.

East Hampton Shops
Shop neighborhood
Aquazzura (Closed)
20 Main St., East Hampton
Considering how very Hamptons-appropriate their shoes are (colorful pom-pom flats, neutral stilettos, espadrilles, etc.), it's pretty surprising that Aauazzura hasn't had a pop-up shop in the Hamptons until now. In addition to the shoes, the interior is every bit the summery shop—dark wood floors, bright white furniture, and hot-pink floral wallpaper.
East Hampton
ATM Anthony Thomas Melillo
20 Newtown Lane, East Hampton
Anthony Thomas Melillo's eponymous line is the result of his original quest to create the perfect t-shirt. His loungewear collection exudes a simple, easy-to-wear aesthetic that offers ideal basics and weekend wear with sophisticated lines and quality fabrics. The East Hampton boutique stays true to the brand's DNA, with its sleek decor and neutral palette.
East Hampton
67 Main St., East Hampton
While they have outposts around the country, Bluemercury's shop in East Hampton also offers Chantecaille and La Mer facials. You can find some of our favorite clean brands here, including Tata Harper and RMS Beauty.
East Hampton
41 Main St., East Hampton
The epitome of the neighborhood bookstore, BookHampton has been a presence in East Hampton in various incarnations for more than 40 years. Now, thanks to a new owner and a top-to-bottom renovation last summer, it's introducing even more titles and space for special literary events and guest speakers. The generous teen-lit section is a gold mine for keeping the 12-to-18 set occupied.
East Hampton
Figue (Closed)
55 Main St., East Hampton
Stephanie von Watzdorf founded her travel-inspired, "gypsy-meets-jet-set" lifestyle brand, Figue—named for the fig, her favorite fruit from her native Italy—after graduating from Parsons The New School for Design and working with fashion powerhouses like Giorgio Armani and Yves Saint Laurent. The result: a full range of separates and accessories tinged with various cultural references that somehow manage to form a totally cohesive collection. The East Hampton location is actually Figue's only brick-and-mortar outside NYC—and while it's easy to find them online, it's worth popping into the shop, too, as they usually reserve a few exclusive pieces for in-person customers.
East Hampton
Gail Rothwell (Closed)
66 Newtown Ln., East Hampton
Since 2007, Gail Rothwell has been stocking pretty much all of the important designers (Lanvin, Stella McCartney, Isabel Marant, etc.). It's a great place to know about in East Hampton, where high-end, multi-label boutiques are harder to come by than you may think.
East Hampton
Harper's Books
87 Newtown Ln., East Hampton
The art scene in the Hamptons gets bigger every year, so it's only fitting that the collectors and artists that migrate here each summer should have a New York City-quality art bookstore. Harper's hosts exhibitions of emerging artists year-round, and they have an original, yet thorough, selection of books on rare photography, art, and literature available. It's also a great stop if you need a last-minute hostess gift.
East Hampton
Housefolk (Closed)
10 Main St., East Hampton
For those who are familiar, one look inside at the thoughtful displays of French Stoneware bowls, recycled paper stationery, and Adina Mills rings and you can tell this gem of a shop is curated by the same husband-and-wife team that brought us Brook Farm General Store. Since shuttering their Williamsburg shop a few years back, they've been hard at work on their own homewares line, Tourne, which is also well represented here.
East Hampton
Kirna Zabête
66 Newtown Lane, East Hampton
Fresh picks from the best high-end designers.
East Hampton
Lullanest (Closed)
78 Main St., East Hampton
From gifts for newborns to supreme everyday basics (bottles, strollers, and diapers), this is a one-stop shop for all things baby. This being the Hamptons and all, the selection is definitely of the luxe variety, featuring brands like Bugaboo, Stokke, Ergo, and Uppababy, all hand-picked for their looks as well as their durability.

TTL Mystery Sock '09
And the bench? I got the bench! The indoor rearranging is being configured, and , for now, the bench is a nice welcoming place to sit outside my front door, you know, for in case the UPS guy ever needed, oh, I dunno, a DRY place to leave a package (scratches head, have I ordered anything recently that could be delivered to my new bench? hmm...)
The sun may come out today, so I'll try to take some pics, but in the meantime, in between time, isn't the set-up, with the old doors stuck together to make walls, just the most adorable backdrop for traveling antiques & boutiques?! Just stuck in a barn, down a gravel road, across the field from our place... so sweet, I'm so glad I stopped by.
Are you ready to take on colder weather? What incredible hats are you planning to knit (quick, in a hurry! did you hear me? snow is in the forecast!) this year?
Can't wait to see what starts showing up (knitting up) on the blogosphere this season,
happy knitting-

|Nan Qi Min and her nanny
Five years ago today in a very cold room in the Civil Affairs Office of Guandong Province PRC I held a very very tiny 12 month old baby girl with a heart condition for the first time. My life would never be the same again, nor thank goodness would hers. She was scared, unhappy but oh so loved. Loved from deep inside my heart. That love has continued to grow and will continue to grow, daily.

Lily is looking at her with a face that says, Whoa, just my luck this kid can scream.

Rosie, you are an original, a one of a kind, I love you to the great big sky and far beyond it. You make me laugh with all your little quirks and your wicked sense of humour. I just don't think I could be happier that I am today until I get to tomorrow and then I wonder how I can be happier than I am right now and you show me that I can be.You are as loyal as any junk yard dog and a fierce protector of your family. Thank you for making my heart whole.

Today might have been the best day ever. Ever. With the guidance of a local taxidermy genius, Dave Pilkington, (website) I finally began my first (of an inevitable many) taxidermy project! I have been toying with the idea of practicing taxidermy for a few years now, but as I can barely watch gory operations on TV on top of the fact I wouldn't know where to start,I have been putting it off. As it turns out I had no issue with skinning my magpie and I can't wait to stuff it tomorrow. I will update you with the finished article tomorrow.
P.s if you have any aversion to dead animals leave now, I'm already on the downward spiral of addiction.

England wing Tom Voyce completed a hat-trick of tries early in the second half and Ayoola Erinle and Jeremy Staunton also scored for Wasps with Mark Van Gisbergen kicking three conversions and two penalties.
Their defence, though, was leaking like a sieve with Topsy Ojo and Riki Flutey both touching down twice and Dominic Feau'nati, Sailosi Tagicakibau, Bob Casey, Mike Catt and Delon Armitage also helping themselves to tries for the Exiles. Flutey kicked a late penalty and Catt added four conversions.
The result means London Irish are bound for the play-offs and a shot at the Guinness Premiership title after years in the doldrums.
And the signs look ominous for Wasps, whose much-vaunted defence was torn to pieces repeatedly. They now have to win their final game of the regular season at Gloucester to keep their bid for a fourth successive league crown alive.
Wasps had been able to add some extra firepower as Voyce, rested last weekend, returned on the left wing, while centre Stuart Abbott took over from the suspended Rob Hoadley for what could be his last home appearance for the club before joining Harlequins this summer.
Josh Lewsey and Joe Worsley, both nursing sore hamstrings, were on the bench, with Worsley's absence allowing Mark Lock to continue at open-side.
By contrast, the problems appeared to be piling up for London Irish, particularly in the front row where Danie Coetzee and Faan Rautenbach were missing along with long-serving goal-kicker Barry Everitt and full-back Michael Horak.
Scrums, though, were almost redundant in a pulsating first half played at a furious pace with nine tries scored - five of them in a staggering opening 12 minutes.
If Irish had a reliable goal-kicker they might have been home and dry after running in five tries in the first half-hour but Flutey and Catt could manage only two conversions between them amid a flurry of hooks and slices.
The frantic opening spell saw Wasps go 19-10 up with Erinle, Voyce and Staunton all taking advantage of defensive errors and Van Gisbergen converting twice.
But Irish clearly wanted to run Wasps ragged, attacking at every opportunity with Feau'nati scoring after 35 seconds and Ojo's try stemming from Armitage's inventive chip.
And despite falling behind they stuck to the plan with three more scores coming in another purple patch.
Flutey scored in the corner in the 19th minute after Simon Shaw had carelessly lost the ball in his own 22. Catt converted and then provided a deft assist for Tagicakibau to squeeze into the corner, and more smart passing out of the tackle, this time from Feau'nati, put Casey over for an improbable fifth try that Catt converted for a 29-19 lead on the half hour.
Exiles hooker David Paice was sin-binned for handling in a ruck five minutes before the break and some semblance of normal service was resumed when Van Gisbergen kicked the resultant penalty and Voyce intercepted Flutey's pass and streaked over for his second try to tie up the scores.
When the England wing completed his hat-trick a minute into the second-half - thanks to good support work from Mark Lock and Peter Bracken - it seemed like Wasps had finally gained control.
They could not cut out the errors, though, and London Irish profited when Catt found the space to respond with a 44th minute try and Armitage touched down their seventh under the posts after intercepting Van Gisbergen's pass.
The Wasps full-back made amends with a long-range penalty that hauled his side back to 37-43 down going into the final quarter.
Flutey, improbably, replied with a long-range penalty to keep Wasps at arms-length and as the champions tried desperately to find a way back into the game they were punished twice in the final five minutes.
Ojo streaked away down the right for his second try and Flutey surged clear for a similar score to send the Exiles fans home in raptures.

JEFFERSON CITY (AP) � Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster said yesterday he won't appeal a judge's decision to rewrite the summary voters will see for a health insurance ballot measure, calling the judge's revised version a truer reflection of state lawmakers' intent.
Democratic Secretary of State Robin Carnahan had asked the attorney general to challenge a court ruling that her summary was unfair and insufficient. Cole County Circuit Judge Dan Green on Tuesday ordered the use of a revised summary after Republican Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder and legislative leaders filed a lawsuit challenging Carnahan's version.
Carnahan's office said the new summary is "incomplete, uninformative and a disservice to Missouri voters."
"Although we strongly disagree with the decision by the Cole County Circuit Court, this office is not in a position to appeal the decision on its own," Carnahan's office said yesterday in a statement. "We are disappointed that Attorney General Koster has refused our request to file an appeal."
But Koster said in a statement yesterday evening that the judge's summary "more accurately reflects the legislative intent than does the Secretary's proposed language."
"My job is to call balls and strikes in an impartial manner. The argument is over," said Koster, a Democrat.
The proposal, approved by Missouri's Republican-led General Assembly and referred to the Nov. 6 ballot, would bar state officials from creating a health insurance exchange without approval from the public or the legislature. It also would prohibit state departments from taking federal money to set up the online marketplace intended to allow consumers to shop for and compare health insurance plans.

Over the last several years eCommerce has been rapidly transforming in response to the adoption of mobile and social technologies. Specifically, I draw attention to the expanding authority of social networking sites and mobile phone market penetration as prime triggers to this development. This new form of commerce leverages the mass adoption of mobility for real-time access to information, resources and tools that before was only available in a stationary environment. New commerce such as social commerce (sCommerce), mobile commerce (mCommerce), and mobile payment services (MPS), have begun to impact not only developed nations economies (ex. Canada, United States, Europe), but also developing nation's economies around the world (eg. Kenya, India).
Some new forms of commerce are on the verge of becoming key dominating players within the eCommerce sphere – and some already are. Yet, we still know little about their users and how/if their needs are being supported. This dissertation presents three studies, which explore new commerce users in an effort to identify their social behaviours, activities and routines. Informed from these social issues, the overarching goal is to create design suggestions through empirically supported guidelines and to understand if these new commerce systems have advantages over the more traditional ones.

Which is the most remunerative, recession-proof investment? No, it is not gold or housing. It is the New York City Taxicab Medallion, a license to drive a New York City taxi!
A Bloomberg report says that the cost of a New York City cab license has risen more than 1,000 percent since 1980, a market that's outperformed gold, oil, inflation, and the housing market. The medallion, the transferable aluminum plate found on the hood of all cabs, sold for $678,000 in July, up from $2,500 in 1947.
The story attributes its success to a small, tightly controlled supply of licenses and an unwavering demand from entrepreneurial immigrants, coupled with a huge demand for New York taxi cab rides. Econ 101 has another name for this - the power of monopoly!

Playing guitar with Todd Rundgren would be a dream job for any guitar player. It happened for Bethlehem native Jesse Gress, who has been playing with Rundgren for nearly 20 years.
Speaking from his home in Woodstock, N.Y., he says that for Rundgren fans, this tour might be the best of all time. "This is the closest thing you will ever see to a Todd's greatest-hits show. It's what his audiences have been clamoring for."

Cosplay is a fun hobby and has a massive following of fans across the internet, but many people miss out on the fun of it. "Cosplay" is a word which combines "costume" and "play" although many people miss out on the actual playing part, instead simply posing for photographs and videos. Admittedly, it would be hard to make a fully functional costume which could be roughed up like that, but that doesn't stop cosplayer and Youtuber D Piddy from focusing on the most fun part of cosplay, being the character.
D Piddy has built a successful Youtube channel thanks to his fun at conventions, cosplaying as different characters. His go to character is Deadpool, but he has also become well known for his portrayal of Kakashi (from the Naruto series), Luigi in his racing cart, and most recently, everyone's favorite Sunbro, Solaire of Astora. In his newest video "Sunbro Invades Saboten Con 2017", D Piddy dons the Armor of the Sun and challenges various other characters to epic battles, only to roll circles around them.
The stirring battle music that plays during a challenge is well done, and cuts away to convention goers laughing as Solaire rolls around. This works well to invoke a sense of amusement and highlight how fun and silly cosplay can be. I couldn't help laughing while watching the video, despite my annoyance that he wasn't carrying the Sunlight Shield. You keep on having fun D Piddy, the internet loves you!
Have you ever seen someone really getting into character at a convention? Let us know in the comments below, or on Facebook! And don't forget to follow Bonus Level Gaming on Facebook and Tumblr for the latest in gaming news, memes, cosplay, and more! Thanks for reading!

Scale is a device that is used to compute the values and we measure the objects to know its value and weight. Many types of scales are accessible for measuring different weights. When you see those days they measure weight by physical or spring balance and the process of weighing heavy objects was very tough in those days. Due to new inventions, electronic weighing scales have been introduced and it has summary the burden of carrying heavy weights for measuring the objects. Most of the industries need weighing scales to determine their weight of the products and it is a useful device for the purpose of industrial needs.
Different types of weighing scales are and it exists in different size with dissimilar features and each one is used for different purposes. Previously analog scales were used for weighing purpose, and the disadvantage of using this scale is it is not possible to analyze the accurate values. So to get some accurate values, digital scales were introduced and it has a few facilities which analog doesn't have. Different types of weighing scales are there such as bench scales, portable scales, fork scales, floor scales and more; each type are used for a few specific purposes.
Floor scales are used to measure the goods, in industries any goods which are either imported or exported needs to be weighed and these goods weigh additional so some weighing instruments are needed which reduce the work of weight measuring. These scales survive in different sizes for different objects. The flooring scales are invented with digital reading where you can see the weight of the goods in the LCD screen with additional accuracy and precise. These platform scales have the capacity of weighing 500 kg and it has wheels so you can shift wherever you need this instrument. It is made of steel structure where you can weigh the heavy drums and steel weigh bars easily.

If failure is the outcome of the new financial regulations that President Obama announced today, then I'll consider it a success.
Let me explain. I'm not saying that I hope Obama's plan fails. Nor am I hoping that it causes financial institutions to fail. What I do hope though, is that it achieves its goal of creating a framework where financial firms are able to fail.
The recent financial crisis has seen AIG
AIG, meanwhile, has been sucking government funds into its gaping maw. While Lehman Brothers, rest its soul, brought fire and brimstone down on the marketplace when it slid into chapter 11 bankruptcy. And let's not leave Citigroup
Other major financial firms -- from Goldman Sachs
In the end, we don't want to demonize risk. After all, it is risk, the entrepreneurial spirit, and, yes, greed that have helped make our economic system so great in the first place. But if nobody ever failed when taking a risk, it wouldn't be a risk, now would it? So my hope is that Obama's plan will help make sure failure is no longer a four-letter word.
What I've seen so far looks promising. There will be new regulations to help ensure firms don't turn themselves into dirty bombs set to nuke the entire financial system if they fail. At the same time, there will be a new focus on making sure there are plans ready to quickly resolve major failed financial firms so that they don't poison the water.
There's often a yawning chasm between ideal outcomes and government regulations, so only time will tell if this plan will lead to a better system or just a bureaucratic mess, but I've got my fingers crossed.

about us
Having lived and practiced natural medicine as a physician in Raleigh North Carolina for nearly 20 years, Angela wanted to combine all the things she loved most throughout her practice. They include flowers, sun, and benefiting people. Certain elements of flower essence have been used traditionally to provide natural health benefits that calm, clarify and uplift both the body and soul. Combining quality water with individual flower essence was an ideal match! LEV means heart of the flower in ancient dialect. And since this product is made from the heart of the flower and with love, she felt it was appropriate to name it LEV.
We hope you enjoy it! We LEV you!

Done Deal: Manchester United confirm Alexis Sanchez move
by SportingFreak.com • January 23, 2018 • Football
Manchester United have announced that they have completed the signing of Arsenal striker Alexis Sanchez, with Henrikh Mkhitaryan completing a move to opposite direction.
Sanchez has been heavily linked with a move away from the Emirates Stadium, but now it has been confirmed that the Chilean international has joined the Red Devils.
New player, Old Trafford.
Welcome, @Alexis_Sanchez! #Alexis7 pic.twitter.com/Z2Ob2nzmDM
— Manchester United (@ManUtd) January 22, 2018
Reports suggested that Gunners boss Arsene Wenger was keen on replacing Sanchez with Mkhitaryan, but the 29-year-old Armenian's representative Mino Raiola claimed that a move was far from guaranteed.
However, on Monday afternoon, both teams United and Arsenal are now in a position where they can confirm that both players have traded clubs.
The North-West outfit have not revealed the length of Sanchez's contract, but reports have emerged that the Chilean has penned a four-year deal with the 20-time English champions.
Sanchez could be available for his United debut when they face Yeovil Town in the FA Cup on Friday night.
Going on recent showings, the odds on Sanchez are generous, and it would be wise to back the Chilean sooner rather than later. Using bet up to £50 from Dota 2 betting would be a risk-free way to stake on this outcome, but would produce exceptional returns.

Last week was a long and arduous one for me. It was week two of my toddlers intensive eating therapy in Iowa City. As if week one wasn't crazy enough, this week felt like a wild roller coaster ride. We started out well, little bits of eating here and there, not so much fussing, but by mid week all hell broke loose. The specialist told me that a crescendo of resistance and behavior was completely expected at that point, and he needed to go there in order to settle into compliance. It was going to get worse before it got better.
Nonetheless, it was hard to watch. They explained to me that it's critical that there are no reactions to his tantrums and resistance, and even more critical that everyone remain steadfast in the process, no flinching. It was like a game of mortal 'chicken' between Thomas and the doctors, with me on the sidelines. All I could think about was little T's spirit, his fight that has kept him alive this far. Were they going to break it, were they going to change him? But the reality is that T has no chance at a normal future unless he can learn to eat and drink independently, it's now or never.
By the end of last week he was actually beginning to take food on a regular basis, and to top it all off we spent the week fazing out his bottle and only giving him a cup. There was no doubt that his overall calorie consumption dropped, along with a little of precious weight, but he is being monitored very closely. Well, back we went this morning to start week three and I am very pleased to report that he took all his food in all his sessions without the slightest fuss. In fact he was opening his mouth to each bite, leaning into it and closing his mouth around the spoon. SUCCESS!!!! Tonight I get to try to feed him a meal at home, just him and me. I don't know how we'll go, but everyone is confident that we'll both do fine. I guess we'll see.
So over the weekend, as I sat at my drawing table in my pj's at 4pm in the afternoon, refusing to get dressed, listening to hubby and the kids watch "The Wiggles", I actually allowed myself to indulge in some optimism. Had we finally turned a corner, were we able to start thinking about doing normal things now that T is learning to eat?? Then my thoughts ran away and I found myself reaching for the stars, thinking of all the places we could go, all the food I could give him, and all the normal things we could start doing.
Wish us luck for week three, and thanks for checking in. xx

AT&T Said to Plan Web Streaming as Primary TV Platform by 2020www.bloomberg.com
Scott Moritz:
"The provider has been working for more than a year to build a video-delivery system that can carry multiple live feeds to broadband-connected homes, said the people. Such a platform would eliminate the need for a cable hookup or satellite dish in five years or less, the people said."
I'm a little worried that I'm starting to think this sounds interesting. As someone who cut the cord some five-plus years ago, I recognize that it's still not feasible for many -- or even most -- people yet. But this sounds like a bit step in that direction.
Meanwhile, Comcast wants to launch a cellular phone service (using Verizon's spectrum). All the companies you hate, all in one place, all in one space. What could go wrong?Read more...
