The sun was shining through the window this morning, so I lay on the floor and let the sunlight bake me for a few moments. Then I announced to anyone who happened to be around that I was taking the day off. What this means, of course, is that I got to watch the kids while Wendy did her thing*. No matter. Since I was in a good mood, I wanted to hear music. "I'm going to turn on some music, Little Dove. What would you like to hear?" Here's what she said:
"Play some Autumn music."
I didn't want to display a lack of self-confidence by asking what constitutes Autumn music, so I put on a Cake album. I got wheels, of polished steel... Wendy told me in no uncertain terms that my selection wasn't Autumn music. Hmm. All I could think of was Vivaldi, and Vivaldi is rainy day music. Do The Killers remind me of yellow leaves, coonskin caps, and cider presses? How about Jimi Hendrix? So I put it to you, Dear Reader: What is Autumn music?
* Note: In this case, Wendy's "thing" happened to be vacuuming and dusting the house, but I don't like murky facts to get in the way of pure emotions.

MONTECITO, Calif.Ā – More than two full days after mudslides ravaged the coastal town of Montecito, the search for the missing became an increasingly desperate exercise Thursday, with growing doubts about whether anyone would be found alive. Seventeen people from ages 3 to 89 were confirmed dead, and eight others were unaccounted for.
"They're not going to find survivors anymore. They're going to find bodies in the mud," said David Weinert, who feared two of his neighbors were among the dead and turned out to be right in at least one case. "It's emotional for me to say this, but I think they're gone."
The air smelled of sewage and ash as more than a dozen firefighters climbed through rubble in the backyard of a mansion that had been torn apart. Some rescuers used poles to probe the muck for bodies, while others waded chest-deep in the mire. Two Labrador retrievers swam around a debris-filled swimming pool, trying to pick up any scent.
"At this moment, we are still looking for live victims," Santa Barbara fire Capt. Gary Pitney said. But he confessed: "The likelihood is increasing that we'll be finding bodies, not survivors. You have to start accepting the reality of that."
He noted that one survivor pulled from the muck earlier in the week was suffering from hypothermia after just an hour.
Crews marked places where bodies were found, often far away from a home, and used that information to guess where other victims might have ended up as the surging mud carried or buried them.
The disaster, touched off by heavy rain, took many homeowners by surprise early Tuesday, despite evacuation orders and warnings issued days in advance that mudslides were possible because recent wildfires in the hills had stripped away vegetation that normally holds soil in place.
As the rainwater made its way downhill with gathering force, it pried boulders from the ground and picked up trees and other debris that flattened homes, cars and carried at least one body a mile away.
The disaster was already unfolding when Santa Barbara County officials sent out their first cellphone alert at 3:50 a.m.
From above, thrashed areas of town appeared awash in a sea of mud. Next to some of the devastated areas sat large estates untouched by the torrent.
County authorities sent a shudder through the community early Thursday when they reported that the number of people unaccounted for had surged from 16 to 48. But within an hour, they said they had made a clerical error and the actual number of missing was eight.

Sue Robb of 4Children talks to Julie Laughton and Alison Britton from the Department for Education about the role of childminders in delivering the 30 hours free entitlement.
When Jonathan Hilder took over as CEO of the Automatic Vending Association (AVA) in January he quickly become involved with government at the highest level on two contentious issues; firstly healthy eating and more lately on the introduction of the new 5p and 10p coins.
Healthy eating
Obesity has been on the government's agenda for some time and Hilder inherited a problem imposed by Edwina Hart (Minister of Health for Wales) who, in 2008, imposed restrictions on the products that could be sold through vending machines in Welsh Hospitals.
The reasoning behind the product ban was the claim that "it would improve patients' health" but this claim falls flat on two counts; firstly vending in hospitals is used predominantly between 8pm and 2am by hospital staff and secondly the nearby shops selling the banned foods have remained open so as to merely move the point of purchase.
The issue of banning vended products was then exacerbated when just before the election David Cameron was quoted as proposing to ban vending machines in schools. The logic was that it would "give children their childhood back." After hearing this on the news, the AVA and its members lobbied hard to bring sense to the proposal. Whilst being fully supportive of any policies that were trying to give children back their childhood, the suggestion that banning vending machines would help to achieve this was completely unfounded.
Making the right choices
The AVA gained support from several schools who saw the ban as depriving children from being able to make the right choice. By giving children the education in understanding and achieving a healthy lifestyle they are set to make the right choices for the future. Hilder is keen to put things into context: "Vending is only one sales channel and the UK snack and confectionery market is worth £39bn of which £7.8bn is chocolate and snacks. Only five per cent of the snack intake goes through the vending channel. Snacks represent one per cent of the British calorific food intake, vending represents five per cent of this one per cent so this leaves 99.95 per cent of the problem unaltered".
He goes on to explain: "The nation has been eating snacks and confectionery for many years without issue. Vending machines provide a wide choice and the items on sale reflect consumer tastes and demand; including fresh fruit, low fat and low sugar products as well as a range of drinks to rival the high street coffee shops.
"There is also the issue of what constitutes a healthy choice and to date the AVA has been unable to get clarification from those who have criticised or banned vending." Interestingly the FSA has commented that there is no such thing as unhealthy food, only unhealthy diet.
Jonathan commented: "If they are unable to quantify it, then it is difficult for the AVA to help implement change."
Labelling systems
There are currently three recognised labeling systems operating to educate consumers and encourage healthy eating, namely GDA, the traffic light system and calorific value.
Jonathan believes that the calorie system is the simplest to follow, most people understand that if they consume more than the average recommended number of daily calories without burning them off then they will gain weight. He acknowledges that nutrition is a complex area but says we have to start somewhere.
This view is supported by Gill Fine, director of consumer choice and dietary health, who commented recently: "The battle between GDA and traffic light labels has been deeply unhelpful." She went on to explain her work with caterers; where 21 companies have put calories on menus, consumers have found this useful. She summed up by saying this is excellent news for consumers.
Keen to implement guidance to his members, Jonathan is looking to develop the recommended 'healthier shelf'. AVA members are regularly introducing new products and Jonathan's aim is that vending will maintain consumer choice and make that choice easy.
Freedom of choice
The AVA represents the interests of the £1.65bn refreshment vending industry and it is keen to implement guidance to its members.
Working with other trade associations, brand owners and food service organisations, the AVA has formed the Vending Choice Coalition (VCC). Their goal is to ensure that consumers have freedom of choice to purchase a wide range of food and beverages through vending in order to achieve a balanced diet.
Advice from expert speakers at a recent Vending Choice conference revealed that a lifestyle that combines regular physical activity with consumption of a wide range of food choices is the key to healthy living. It is vital that consumers at all ages are able to make that choice for themselves.
Hilder is determined that the AVA will continue to educate and advise on how vending can help rather than hinder healthy choices. "As an industry we work hard to support healthy living and provide a variety of choices. We will continue to lobby hard to prevent any legislation that imposes limited choice or financial penalties," he said.
New 5p and 10p coinage
Britain's 5p and 10p coins will be changed from January 1st 2011. Although the new coins will look similar to existing ones they will be made of a different material, they will be thicker and for the first time they will be magnetic.
These changes have huge implications for any industry that uses coins and vending is one such industry. The AVA estimates that it will cost their industry an extra £42 million and it could cost the coin industry as a whole up to £100 million.
Hilder explains: "Vending machines use sophisticated technology designed to detect fraud. They test each coin by its shape as well as its electromagnetic composition. To handle the new coins all machines will have to have their software updated, and in most instances, they will need to be recalibrated to recognise both the new coins and the old ones, which will continue to be in circulation for at least a decade."
Jonathan has been in close dialogue with the Royal Mint and the Treasury as the timing will be critical to ensuring the smooth introduction of the new coins into vending.
The coin mechanism manufacturers received sample coins as late as last month and they are completing their tests. The next stage will be for operator engineers to visit and upgrade the software. This is the time consuming and costly part of the introduction. Taking this on board the AVA has managed to get written assurance that no new coins will be circulated until April 2011.
As we move forward the AVA will continue talking to the Treasury and the Mint to ensure it protects members' interests and ultimately their customers.
Vending and its advantages
Vending is flexible, cost effective, secure and sustainable. Stylish machines deliver healthy options, tasty treats, meals, hot and cold drinks as well as many other non traditional items. It offers a fantastic way to provide a 24/7 service to an organisation.
Incorporating the latest technology, machines are reliable and can be monitored remotely. They can provide anything from a simple drink to a full catering service.
There are currently over 500,000 vending machines in operation in the UK in all sorts of public sector locations. The AVA has members up and down the country delivering a quality service.
In June 2011 the Industry has its bi annual exhibition, AVEX 2011. Organised by the AVA, the exhibition showcases the best in vending. There will be seminars and experts on hand to offer advice first hand.

Meet Joe Black (1998)
3 corrected entries
Directed by: Martin Brest
Starring: Anthony Hopkins, Brad Pitt, Claire Forlani, Jake Weber
Corrected entry: In the scene where the girl meets the character that Brad Pitt plays at the very beginning of the movie they show lots of angles of them talking after he has bought her coffee. Every time that they show a different angle of them talking it shows her pouring sugar into her coffee. She pours sugar into her cup over 5 times...
Corrected entry: Why would a doctor leave her father's dead body on the ground over the hill and go to rejoin the party?
Correction: According to the 'why'-rule, this is not necessarily a mistake. There is no evidence that the body of Bill's body, is left on the ground over the hill. Neither is there any evidence that he is dead at the point of time when she returns to the party with the guy she met in the coffee shop. All she knows is that Joe Black was Death and took her father with her, and that her father almost said goodbye to her. Even if she understood that this meant that he was going to die, she could not the time or place or other circumstances of his decease. All she says to the guy she met in the coffee shop on his return is 'I wish you had met my father'. Hence she knows she will never see him again, but she does not know if he is already dead.
Corrected entry: Well, you have "Death" played by Brad Pitt who first makes himself known in the movie as voices and shadows. He's Death, so he's been around for infinity and is wise beyond our comprehension. The whole speech in the library when he's talking to Anthony Hopkins is very intelligent and all-knowing. But as soon as he appears in Brad Pitt's body, he becomes "The Dim Reaper". He's retarded. "What's this thing you call peanut butter?", "pass a basket of food?" "How does that work?" "Tea?" "A name?, I cannot think of a name for myself?" "Sex?, what is this thing you call sex?" One minute he can't tie a bowtie and then he's off on his own buying flowers and finding his way to the hospital. Then, at the hospital, when he's conversing with that Jamaican black woman, all of the sudden he's smart again and knows earth accents and a wealth of superstitious belief systems. From scene to excruciating scene, he's alternately brilliant, dim-witted, mean, awestruck, selfish, nice...
Correction: Death, ie. Joe Black, knows everything that has happened for all times, but has never 'tasted' life, including the peanut butter. That is why he knew it was a basket of rolls (he says so the morning after), but he did not know how to pass it around. As for the name, he did not have one, and as much as he chose Bill Parrish to be his guide, it makes sense that Bill was the one to choose his name and a cover history for the two. Even if Joe knows about ties, and probably also different tie knots, it is not that easy to tie a knot for the first time if you have never tried it before. He probably also knew what sex was, but again, he had never tried it before, given the comment from Susan saying 'making love to you was like making love with someone who made love for the first time'. Since he knows everything, he knows that tea with milk is 'English style' which he wanted to taste. Furthermore, when Bill sent him out for a walk and asked his secretary to give him a map, he said he would be fine. Thus, his performance is consistent with the fact that he knows all that there is to know, but he has never behaved as a living person before. As for him being selfish and nice at sixes and sevens, it says in the commentary that Death is used to never being challenged and to being the one who has always got a final card. There is nothing mysterious or inconsequential about him using his power to stop others from bothering him, such as Bill when he says he does not like that Joe is 'spooning' his daughter.

As such I am keen to encourage young entrepreneurs with new ideas and inventions.
When I used to organize fundraising school fairs at my son's school, I always tried to get the young boys (all under-13) to run their own "business". (One young boy, eg, drew cartoons and comics, copied and sold them. You could even get them printed on T-shirts.)
But I was not impressed by this short report: This toilet seat could lift couples' spirits
The problem: (Men) Toilet users do not lift the seat before use, thus messing it up.
The solution: Develop a device to flip the seat up after use.
As a woman my response was: But I don't want the seat to flip up. Why should "seat up" be the default position?
Why can't the men users learn to lift the seat up, use the loo, and then put it down?
It does not take rocket science to do that!
Whatever the right and wrong of "seat up" or "seat down", I was struck by how these student inventors tried to resolve an attitudinal problem with an engineering solution.
It reminded me of the time my young son would preface most of his statements with "I shall invent a machine to ...."
As a four-year-old and very lacking in social skills (being an only child looked after by a full-time mum and therefore not exposed to the rough and tumble of nurseries and child care environments) my son thought all problems could be resolved by designing the correct machines.
An attitude issue has to do from what emanates from the heart. Such problems cannot be changed by hardware like machines.
Three points I wish to note here:
- I cannot understand why notices in Singapore ladies toilets tell me to lift the seat. No, no, no! Women need to have the seat DOWN! Was it a man who commissioned those posters?
- A marriage requires a lot of give and take. If couples fight over the toilet seat, we as a nation are in serious trouble. What is so difficult about lifting a toilet seat that a husband would refuse to do it? What is so difficult about the wife putting it down?
- If our engineering students cannot tell which problems require engineering solutions and which not, there is something wrong in the way we've been educating our young people.
Some users squat on the seats instead of sitting on them. You can tell by the footprints. O! Why on earth do people do something so uncivil as that?
My ex-room-mate from America once asked me, after discovering the "hole-in-ground" toilets in Asia, whether I thought the western way of sitting on toilets rather "unhygienic".
That was an interesting perspective. Maybe people squat on pedestal toilets not because they are "uncivilized". Far from it, they may be thinking that WE are the ones who are "unhygienic"!
Once we learn to see it their way, our education programme could take a different track.
The other problem with ladies toilets in Singapore is wet floors. Some of our women folk insist on washing with water (it's a religious thing), but toilets are not designed to drain water poured onto the floor.
Now this is a problem that our engineers can solve.
Still the best way to keep our toilets pristine is still a notice that says: "Please leave this toilet the way you would like to find it."

Uniting against crime must be mission of every J'can - Barnes
Christopher Barnes, chief operating officer of the RJRGLEANER Communications Group, is challenging all Jamaicans to make it their mission to unite against crime in order to tame the scourge now plaguing the nation.
"Crime is a symptom of a moral deficit shared by too many persons and which has largely been ignored or pushed under the proverbial rug," Barnes told the gathering at the annual Gleaner Honour Awards gala luncheon at The Jamaica Pegasus hotel in New Kingston on Monday.
"We have heard the various perspectives out there on how to fix the problem, which all have elements of validity. However, I put it to you that crime is not the problem; we are, as individuals. There is no doubt that there is no shortage of good people in our country. This is why we have been able to have an Honour Awards programme since 1979. We have all we need to fix our problems, including crime, and to leave a legacy of progress, goodwill, and hope."
Barnes, who is also managing director of The Gleaner Company (Media) Limited, warned against turning a blind eye to the growing crime problem, arguing for a collective approach to empowering the nation's youth as a first step in the right direction.
"The answer is not to turn off our TV, radio, and mobile devices and refuse to read the paper to avoid the problem, because ignoring the problems of this country only feeds the monster. The answer is to stay informed, grow annoyed to the point of action, and resolve to do whatever we can in our small or large area of influence to starve the roots of criminal activity," the media manager declared.
This, said Barnes, can be achieved by reducing the attractiveness of crime, while educating youngsters to become productive members of society.
"It is not as difficult as it sounds. NCB (National Commercial Bank) is doing it, through the educational and social support it provides through its foundation. Food For The Poor is doing it, by providing infrastructural and other support to the poorest among us. Richard Byles is doing it through his commitment to private- and public-sector development. Mickey (Dorothy Pine-McLarty) is doing it by getting involved in the electoral process. Tommy (Cowan) and his team are doing it through spiritual reinforcement, and lastly, it is known that crime is significantly reduced whenever our athletes are competing on the big stage," he pointed out, making reference to the recipients of this year's Gleaner Honour Awards.
"We all can, and need to, play our part. All our efforts will never be enough until enough of us begin to recognise our role in crime alleviation, no matter how small."

Are you or your son or daughter just taking to the road?
Are you ready to buy your first car?
Class 1 Beginner: April 7, 2018 - 12 – 2 pm
Class 2 Intermediate: April 14, 2018 - 12 – 2 pm
Pizza lunch will be provided.
A recent AUTOMD.com survey of parents of teenage drivers revealed the following:
66% of parents rated their teen's basic knowledge of car maintenance as "somewhat or completely clueless," or "average," but said it was extremely important for teens to be educated about the basic parts of a car. Only six percent of parents surveyed believed their child learned enough auto repair basics in a driver's education course. Two in three teens don't know how to change a flat tire, check or change the oil, jumpstart a battery, identify basic car parts, or perform emergency roadside repairs.
The average cost of owning and operating a vehicle is more than $8,500 a year, and according to a AAA survey, one third of U.S. drivers skip or delay recommended service or repairs, which increases the likelihood of unexpected mechanical failures and leaves vehicles more vulnerable to roadside breakdown. In 2016, AAA responded to nearly 32 million stranded motorists.
With over 13 million young drivers on the road, the goal of the New Drivers Class is to educate young drivers so they will be more comfortable with their cars!
The Larz Anderson Auto Museum presents the New Drivers Car Care Series, our first car maintenance series for new drivers on the road. From basics to learning how to change a tire, these two classes will focus on every aspect of your car that you need to know. This is an opportunity for young adults to gain important automobile knowledge and to learn from a woman who has your interests at heart.
We invite you to spend a couple hours on your Saturday learning about your car with mechanic Sally Dawson, owner of Foxy Auto. Sally began working in her father's auto repair shop in her early teenage years; she spent years learning the trade and becoming familiar with the business. Now, she is the owner of one of the few female owned and operated auto repair shops in the country. She has been featured on the Today Show and more recently in the March 2017 issue of Motor magazine. She has led the Fearless Females Automotive Car Care Series, the How to Prepare for a New England Winter: Winterizing Your Vehicle class, and participated in our live storytelling event, Women's Motormouth, all here at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum!
Come and join us as we learn from a pro! Parents are encouraged to attend!

Dungog High students will be there, not competing but acting as helpers, marshals, mobile phone cheater-catchers, mentors and judges.
How to enter. Get your 6-8 team member names, nominate one easy-to-contact captain, pick a name and send it to email@example.com, with contact details. Spectators welcome but no helping!
When: 9.30 arrival for a 10am start, Saturday 17 March 2018. The event will finish by 2pm.
Where: Multipurpose Centre at Dungog High School. Entry via Chichester Dam Rd.
Cost: free.

We finished strong, learning about the California Gold Rush in 1849. Just a few days before studying it, I stumbled upon these little bags of "gold" at the store and couldn't resist buying them.
Our last day was on Thursday, so we had Fun Day Friday and went to Kings Island. It was a beautiful day!
Friday night, the girls were doing simple experiments on their own. They made a mixture with vinegar to clean pennies, and put Ivory soap in the microwave to see it expand. Katie even explained to me how it happens. After they pulled the soap out, they crumbled it into a bowl, and now it's ready for me to use with my homemade laundry detergent. Bonus for me! :)
We will be doing some math and language arts over the summer. I say this every year and we've never met my goals. But, after all these years of spending too much time in the fall reviewing, I'm going to work harder at sticking with my plan this summer.
My plan is to start My Father's World 1850 to Modern Times some time in August. We are making some changes in math and language arts but I haven't nailed them down just yet. I'm leaning heavily towards using Teaching Textbooks for math. We've always used RightStart, and I still love the program. But, it's teacher intense. Need I say more? I might also add Life of Fred as a supplement.
I plan to use some materials from Queen Homeschool Supplies for language arts. I'm pretty sure we'll use the vocabulary, and maybe some copywork. But, I haven't nailed that down yet either.
For now, we are all looking forward to summer and the warm weather it brings!

By James Agberebi:
Germany coach Frank Wormuth has revealed how his team were able to overcome the Flying Eagles in their round of 16 FIFA U-20 World Cup clash which they won 1-0.
Reacting to the win, Wormuth who spoke highly of the Flying Eagles, however said his players deserved to advance at the expense of Nigeria.
He told fifa.com: "I like Nigeria and they are very good technically, which makes them extremely difficult to play against.
"We were able to keep the ball under pressure and that was our only chance to break through their defence. In the end, I give congratulations to my team for finding the answer to the problems Nigeria posed us. They deserved the win and I am very impressed with them.
"I am especially proud of my team's defence today. Of course, our aim is to get to the final in Auckland but to get there we must go step to step and our next step is Mali. The German mentality is to always think this way. I expect Mali to play in quite a similar way to what we saw today from Nigeria."
A 19th minute strike by Levin Öztunali was enough for the European champions to see off a lackluster Flying Eagles side.

It's me again. I tried using the same method with a Post instead of a Page – and it works perfectly. Still, I prefer using it with pages. Can I?
Thanks, Adrian
Hello adrianaisemberg, Yes you can insert either page or post no matter both should work perfectly. And 420px × 350px thing is my mistake.
The slider image Dimensions should be 996px × 378px, and I'll correct it in a later release. Thanks for pointing it to me.
Could you please email your site address to me, and I'll check what mistakes you did there. Otherwise I can't think what's happening. I'll make sure to keep it private and secretly. Always you can trust me thanks.
Thanks. Meanwhile, I can live with posts instead of pages.
Another question: After posting all my slider pages/posts, how can I change their order of appearance in the slider?
I'm sorry but you have to understand as the slider automatically fetching content from posts, there is no way to change the order of its appearance. Posts are appearing order of published. If I implemented this thing for manual processing it will be more harder and extra work for site admins. However, you can try with changing the post published date. Hope it will work.
And another one: How do I add test to the slide's box?
I have the title (which is the post's title), but I can't see any text below it. I mean – I have some text in the post's body, but it doesn't show in the slide (only the title, and "..." below it).
OK. I got it. It appears that if the text is not long enough – it doesn't appear. I tried with "test" and it didn't appear. Tried with longer text – and it works.
Ya I implement that thing because otherwise it won't look nice. I forced admins to posts little-bit longer text..
Changing the publish date works! Thanks for the workaround.
How can I control the length of the text in the slider? I mean, my text is being trimmed and a "..." appears at the end. How can I control the maximum number of characters in the slider?
I got it. I updated the featuredpost.php file so it prints the $postOutput instead of the $content. In another words: I skipped all the function calls on the postOutput. Now the whole text is displayed in the slide (it's not a long text, so it looks pretty good)

I recently upgraded to wp 3.0.3, since then the slider in the main page doesn't work. Instead, I see all the images in the same page, one after the other. I'm not 100% sure it is because of upgrading wp, but I'm almost sure that this is the only change I did in the past few days. Im currently downloading a backup I have form a month ago and I'll diff the files to see if I find the reason for this. Meanwhile, can you please take a look at: www.vercue.com/wp (The site is not published yet, i'm still working on it)
Thanks, Adrian
No I think your header file or any javascript is messed. in your site javascripts are not working. Check the main navigation. It also not worked. If you edit javascript files or add new js this can be happened. If I found the error I'll let you know k
One of the wp plugins caused this. It was the WP-Table plugin. Once I deleted it – it now works as before. Thanks!
Does the latest version address the problems with the slider caused by certain plugins? Need to add mail chimp but it messes up the slider. Any fix for this?
I didn't check the new version with the mail chimp , anyway I'll fix it sooner thanks letting me know, and plz contact me via email and that make me easier for the fast response.
hello, very pretty site. How do i get the admin posted by, time, author off of the pages so it looks more like a website instead of a blog? and how do i remove the archive section? thank you for your response.
hello, under the contact section where i can add information, how do i get this section to embed a google map. ive tried and tried it does not take it. under the contact section in voosky Options? and do you offer shortcodes like one_half thank you.
hello, i forgot to mention my site name, http://s367790902.onlinehome.us/wordpress when i go into my admin panel to change something it wont load after i hit save, im thinking its a hosting issue. ive redownloaded the theme and reinstalled wordpress thank you for your response.

Patriots vs. Bills
As Belichick described it after yesterday's win, it was a bittersweet victory. The Patriots played very well on both sides of the ball at times during the game, but in the process they lost the QB on defense Jerod Mayo and workhorse RB Stevan Ridley for the season due to leg injuries. Outside of these two huge blows to the team, the Patriots really put together a nice game. The pass offense exploded for 360 yards and 37 points and the defense made timely stops and forced turnovers. Finally, we are seeing the Patriots that everyone expected out of the gates to open the season.
Out of the gate, we saw some struggles for the offense. The Pats tried to establish the run a little but the Bills weren't allowing any holes to open as Ridley was having a tough day. The offensive line was not opening up the holes and struggled to be consistent. We saw the revolving door back this week for them. Dan Connolly getting hurt really didn't help the situation either as Jordan Devey, who really shouldn't be out there, was forced to play. The Bills have one of the better front 7's in the NFL so the offensive line struggles were kind of expected. In the second half, we saw Ridley take a big blow to the knee and go down and from there the run game was pretty much given up on. Brandon Bolden came in to try and take the load, but he really didn't excel either. Filling the void of Ridley will be tough in my opinion, because he was running hard and really gave the offense some balance this season. I don't know if Bolden will be able to fill that role. Vereen certainly shouldn't be the lead back. He definitely will see more touches, but I don't want him running 10+ times between the tackles. The Patriots need to find a lead RB and they need to get the offensive line healthy again to get back on track. Maybe Jonas Gray gets promoted and we see a RB by committee approach with Bolden, Vereen, Gray and White all seeing looks? It will be very interesting to see what Bill does with that situation.
The pass offense really led the way Sunday. Most of the damage was done in the second half for Brady and Co. We saw Tyms for the first time and immediately he looked to be the missing deep threat. Tyms and Brady connected on a beautiful 43 yard bomb for a TD taking the top off the defense, something this offense has been missing for years. If Tyms can consistently bring that to the table for the offense, just one or two shots downfield a game, this offense now has a whole new look. Rob Gronkowski continues to get closer to bring 100%, making him a legit threat out there. LaFell also is carving out a nice niche here in New England having another good game with 2 TD catches. Tim Wright only had his TD catch, but still was on field some more Sunday. This grouping of LaFell, Edelman, Gronk and Wright looks to the favorite for the Patriots. If LaFell, Gronk and Wright can continue to grow in this offense alongside Edelman the pass offense will be a machine as it used to be, but obviously much of this falls on the O-Line to protect Brady and give him time to make the plays. Brady looks just fine when given a clean pocket. The offense is certainly trending up after another solid week.
Defensively we saw Revis Island yet again at it, and this time Sammy Watkins was its victim. Sammy wasn't even looked at by Orton until the second half. I think it's safe to say that Revis is exactly what we expected him to be, a shutdown corner. It's disappointing that Browner wasn't able to play Sunday and hopefully he gets out there Thursday so we know how he fits with this defense. It's interesting how Logan Ryan is almost non-existent for the defense now that Dennard is healthy again. Kyle Arrington continues to have a very modest season as well in coverage. The secondary really has turned into the group we expected them to be. Patrick Chung has been very good considering the expectations I placed on him. He hasn't made any egregious errors and has been solid in run support. The secondary has been great so far and I expect them to only get better with Browner soon returning.
Now time to look at the front 7. This group was looking just fine days ago, but the injury to Jerod Mayo pretty much leaves everything up here in question. The Pats LB depth was sketchy to begin with and Mayo's injury leaves a dark cloud over the group. Who takes Mayo's role? Last season we saw Hightower has some problems taking over Mayo's spot as he was not in a position to succeed. Collins may be to raw to take over Mayo's role and I also think he is suited to be on the outside making plays rather than in the middle. Skinner played decent Sunday vs. the Bills so he will definitely be sticking around now. I believe the Pats should maybe bring in Anderson again and just see what he has. Right now, the LB situation is shady at best and the Pats could use a LB badly. Nobody will be able to replace Mayo, since he was the defensive leader and communicator on defense. It sucks to see him go down for a second straight season. It's really time to see what Collins and Hightower can do for the Pats. A big question mark hangs there. As for the D-Line: wow! Chandler Jones continues to make plays and be a game changer and Ninkovich really stepped up Sunday as well. The defensive line should only get better with Easley hopefully returning soon. Chandler is turning into the stud we all hoped he would be, as he made a huge play late in the first half to turn momentum. The front seven really took a hit losing Mayo Sunday, but the playmakers that are up front can make up for it, they just need to step up their play big time.
Overall, it was a big win for the Pats as they went into a tough road game vs. a divisional opponent and handled business. This team is completely different than the one we saw two weeks that took a thrashing at the hands of the Chiefs.

text: I've been playing around with Google Maps and their Street View, which has been expanding quite a lot lately. I'm curious how many folks here make any kind of use of this capability. Also, as a side note, I am now happily traveling the streets of London, England, with absolutely no clue where I'm going, and it's not costing me a penny of gasoline (whoops, I mean "petrol") to do so. I had no idea they had Texaco fuel stations in England! BTW, while you folks will be clearly crawling all over each other to post in this thread, can someone on here from England tell me where I can cruise to and find one of the newly-constructed Police Boxes? I know they were building them and putting them up due to the cultural phenomena that is Dr. Who, and I would like to see one. I'm just a kid in a candy store with this thing!

Fire-Roasted Habanero Hot Sauce Recipe, Extra-Spicy
Habanero chilies are well known to be one of the spiciest chilies in their genus (Capsicum), and this hot sauce lives up to its main ingredient. This Fire-Roasted Habanero Hot Sauce is so intensely spicy that we wondered (with tears running down our faces) why we bothered using other ingredients in the sauce since we couldn't possibly taste them over the spice. A couple drops of this powerful hot sauce in a dish are sufficient to turn up the spiciness considerably! My husband's commentary on this sauce is simply, "It hurts." Heh. Use with caution, and enjoy!
Use in Mexican, Caribbean, or South American food, soups, chili, bean dishes, meat, and anything else that could do with a good dose of extra hot spice. This recipe is vegetarian and vegan. If you'd like something a little more mild, check out this Fire-Roasted Salsa recipe from last year.
Fire-Roasted Habanero Hot Sauce Recipe
Makes plenty to last you a while. We gave little bottles of this sauce to two of our spice-loving friends and still had plenty left for our own use, so you may want to halve the recipe if preparing it for a single family.
- 18 habanero peppers
- 3/4 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon coarse-chopped ginger root
- 1 teaspoon salt
Also needed:
- a blender
- a jar you can seal
Preparation Instructions:
1. To roast the peppers, you'll need a hot fire started in your grill. We waited to make this sauce on a day when we were grilling something else, so that the fire could be used for more than just this.
2. Wash the peppers, then, simply place them on the grill whole, and turn as they brown (black spots are fine, just don't roast them until entirely black). Evenly roast then remove from the fire. Allow to cool.
3. Meanwhile, chop the ginger root and measure out all of the other ingredients.
4. When the peppers are ready, remove their stems. Take care to WASH YOUR HANDS carefully after touching the habaneros, because you do NOT want to get any in your eyes. Next, place the peppers and all other ingredients in the blender. Blend well on high until everything is finely blended and of a thick liquid consistency.
5. Store your fire-roasted habanero hot sauce in a sealed container and refrigerate to lengthen its lifetime. Wash all materials used well. Use anywhere you'd use hot sauce. Enjoy!
I have chocolate habaneros, or congo blacks. They average between 300,00-500,000 scoville. Think i still need 15?
just made this and it is KILLER, yet awesome
This recipe is amazing. 18 habaneros? I thought you were crazy, until I made it. It has just the right amount of heat! Thanks for posting!!!!
Try adding a bit of tamarind paste for more flavour. I will definitely try your recipe as I am a Hot Pepper addict from Trinidad living in Canada! Google my article "confessions of a Hot Pepper Addict! for an entertaining read on hot pappers.
"it hurts!!!" I love it! This recipe turned out great! Thanks for posting!
Wow! Looks really spicy. Wonder if my stomach can take it. Will ask my wife to try it.

I was giddy because it had only been a week since I ordered something from the Tosowoong eBay store, so my little package had managed to travel across the world pretty fast.
I was giddy because I knew that finally, I had received my first ever AB product, and my AB skincare journey was officially starting. Wheeeeeeeee!
My little package was tidy, my product unharmed, and I even got samples! I. Am. Giddy.
What's more, the samples seem like things I might need and definitely want to try. Sweet!
My little package also included a cute thank-you note in broken English, and a comprehensive Tosowoong product-flyer, which will come in handy if I want to order from them again, and have no idea what I want or need.
So far, so good.
I have absolutely no clue how or why, but I ended up ordering their Bee (Venom) Essence.
I think this is where I should copy/paste the product's claims and ingredients from a website; unfortunately, the Tosowoong website is in Korean, and even Google Translate failed me. Like I mentioned in my introduction, I really don't understand what ingredients are and what they do, anyway.
Because I am not that much of a fan of typing, here are some screen shots from their eBay store - in case any of it is too small to read, here is the link to the current eBay listing, although I got it by winning an auction where I was the only bidder, and ended up paying less than USD 10.00, so the price here seems a little outrageous:
It can't be that bad, can it?
So, about an hour ago, I removed my mascara (the only makeup I wear these days, really,) cleansed and toned my face, and got more closely acquainted with this essence.
It is a very light gel, which was eaten right up by my (dry) hand when I tested it. It smells like absolutely nothing. There isn't even a faint smell of, well, anything.
Or, there's something terribly wrong with my nose. Which I hope there isn't.
Since the skin on my face is anything but dry, I only used a comfortably small amount of the essence. Most of it disappeared pretty much right away, but I can't help but feel like there's a very thin layer left, which I am worried will make my skin feel/look even oilier in a few hours. We will see.
Other than some slight tingling, it felt about as interesting as it smelled: you know, nothing.
Now, don't get me wrong, I am not looking for instant gratification here. I am fine if it doesn't feel like anything special now, if it is going to help my skin in the long run.
And here is the part that I am dreading: a no filter, no makeup photo of part of my face, as of right now. But, I need to do this because I want to see what changes in the next few weeks and months.
So, this is me, with nothing but my new Tosowoong Bee (Venom) Essence on my face.
Here you can see my PIH, my ginormous pores, a (most likely) whitehead I seem to have scratched, and some cystic acne remains from my tragic run-in with Bare Escentuals.
This here is what I am hoping a brand new (AB) beauty routine will help me fix.
Today's little Tosowoong package is the first step...

"Then Jesus lifted up His eyes, and seeing a great multitude coming toward Him, He said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?" But this He said to test him, for He Himself knew what He would do. Philip answered Him, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may have a little." "John 6:5-7)
When Jesus saw the multitude He decided to ask Philip a question in order to test him. Phillip failed the test, because he was looking to human reasoning for answers, he calculated how much money they had to supply bread but he was too blind to see the BREAD OF LIFE right in front of him. Jesus knew what he was going to do all along. Jesus is the All Knowing God. When faced with a question like Ezekiel when ask
''Can these dry bones live?" he responded" Lord You know" (Ezekiel 37:3)
Beloved we don't have to look to ourselves for answers when we serve an Omniscient.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord," (Jer 29:11)

One of the more interesting personal learnings from this project is a rediscovery of what I have come to call 'the necessity of the analogue'. After spending time constructing a moderately elaborate, robust infrastructure of online services to support my research and writing, I found myself writing many of my key insights and findings in black ink in small notebooks.
One detrimental aspect of researching blogging is that there is a practically infinite buffet of blog-related news always available no more than one distracted mouse-click away. I found that writing on the laptop affords far too many distractions. Typing is not a problem, but I have done the majority of my most effective thinking, analysing and writing off-line.
A blank page is a blank page affording only opportunities — not endless distractions.

My life is dull if it wasn't for my kids I'd have nobody to speak too.
i want to leave but I have nowhere to go to, no family or friends.
i don't know what to do?

This reminds me of that movie, "Marley & Me". Jennifer Alison's character used to be passionate about her job, and once she had kids and a house to take care of, she had to focus on that. At one point in her life, she went to her husband and said "I feel like I've given up so many things that made me who I am." She brings herself back afterwards by saying ".. But I'm a very bad person if I say that." It was a small scene in the movie, but it resonated with me the most.
When it comes to having kids, nobody tells you how much you have to give up. It's not up to you as to how much you should be caring and prioritizing your kids; they are number one on your list every day.
But it is up to you to decide who will be there to help you. I think it's important to make your boyfriend understand what your position is, and what kind of responsibility you're expecting him to take when he knows that you have children. If he does not respect you or your needs as a mother, then you may need to assess your relationship more critically as to whether this is the person you want to be with. Because the unfortunate truth is that these kind of situations usually only get worse over time.

He sounds awful and he makes you feel like you are trapped in the relationship.
I hope you manage to get away from him one day because you deserve to be happy.

Every RV camper should plan at least one vacation this year that promises breathtaking views and a rugged world of outdoor adventure. One of our favorite spots is Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park near Montrose, Colorado. As we unfold our top five reasons for visiting this amazing place, why not start planning your own RV camping itinerary at Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park?
Reason #1 to RV Camp at Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP
Scenic Area Campgrounds! The San Juan Range is breathtaking, and the view from area campgrounds is no exception. Here are two highly-recommended RV campgrounds in the Montrose, Colorado area:
- Cedar Creek RV Park – Montrose – beautifully landscaped RV campground closest to the National Park
- Centennial RV Park – south of Montrose – rural setting with views of the San Juan Range
Reason #2 to RV Camp at Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP
The Scenic Drives! There's simply nowhere else in America that promises the kind of views you're going to see at this national park. You can experience this starkly magnificent landscape most easily on the park's scenic drives.
Enter the South Rim area off Hwy 347 to start the seven mile South Rim Road scenic drive. A dozen overlooks and an excellent Visitors Center show you some of the best views the Black Canyon has to offer.
The more rugged North Rim area is accessible through Crawford State Park. The North Rim scenic drive also promises spectacular views from its overlooks.
Reason #3 to RV Camp at Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP
The Trails! If you plan to get out and hike on your Colorado RV camping vacation, the Black Canyon trails are the place to do it. From the easy-to-hike Cedar Point Nature Trail to the strenuous Oak Flat Loop Trail, you'll be immersed in the rugged landscape, varied plant life and amazing variety of wildlife the canyon displays. There are also options for more experienced hikers for traveling the inner canyon.
Reason #4 to RV Camp at Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP
The River Adventures! Imagine maneuvering a kayak in Class V rapids that flow through narrow, rocky canyons. If you're an expert kayaker, that's the kind of river adventure you can expect at Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. Although rafting isn't allowed due to dangerous currents and underwater hazards, you can still enjoy a Gunnison River adventure by fishing for trophy-size wild trout in the river and its tributaries.
Reason #5 to RV Camp at Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP
Area Attractions! Although there's more than enough excitement to fill an extended RV vacation to the Black Canyon, there are also area attractions you may want to visit while you're there. Here are some favorites of RV travelers:
- Curecanti National Recreation Area, with three beautiful mountain reservoirs and outstanding boating and Kokanee salmon fishing.
- The San Juan Skyway just south of Montrose in the magnificent San Juan Range leads travelers a merry chase past fourteen-thousand-foot peaks and incredibly scenic canyons.
- Gunnison Gorge National Conservation Area, east of the national park, is another prime place to hike, fish and go RV camping.
Those are just the top 5 reasons to go RV camping at Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. We could go on and on about the beauty of southwestern Colorado. Instead, we'd like to invite you to plan your own RV camping trip there soon; it's an experience every motorhome traveler should have at least once.

After days of speculation, the public finally has a response from Beyoncé, Jay Z, and Solange Knowles, speaking out about the disturbing elevator fight that happened after the Met Gala. A private elevator ride was leaked to the public, showing shocking footage of Solange Knowles attacking Jay Z, as Beyoncé stood by in silence. Now the family is ready to set the record straight.
Beyoncé, Jay Z, and Solange are presenting a united front to the public by releasing a joint statement. The family is acknowledging the abundant rumors that are circulating about what prompted the incident, denying that Solange was drunk and behaving erratically. Jay Z and Solange try to silence rumors by saying that they have worked past this incident by accepting responsibility for their own actions, and have already apologized to each other.
Beyoncé, Jay Z, and Solange also speak out about what caused the disturbing elevator fight, saying it is a private family matter that has unfortunately played out in public. The three say that they are a close family, and like any other family, they also fight and have problems. The three say that they love each other and have put the matter behind them, and they hope the public will do the same.
However, the public might not be ready to move past this fight so soon. Beyoncé and Jay Z are known as a perfect couple that is in love and always supports each other. Fans love watching them on stage together and consider them the ultimate power couple. Later this year, Beyoncé and Jay Z are also planning on touring together. However, this fight proves that the image Beyoncé and Jay Z present to fans might not be who they really are.
In the elevator fight, Beyoncé just stood there and watched as Solange Knowles punched, kicked, and yelled at Jay Z. A bodyguard had to hold Solange back, and Jay Z also did little to stop the attack. Solange was going all out, hitting as hard as she could, and even used her purse to hit the rapper, spilling the contents out on the floor. The fight went on for about three minutes and Beyoncé never once intervened, which is strange behavior for a wife who claims to love her husband.
After the elevator attack, the two sisters got into the same car, and Jay Z spoke to a bodyguard before leaving in his own car. It appeared that Beyoncé took her sister's side, when she made Jay Z leave the event alone. Jay Z was even photographed rubbing his jaw as he walked out to the car, leading to speculation that Solange hit him pretty hard.
Even though Beyoncé, Jay Z, and Solange Knowles spoke out about the fight, it raises even more questions for the public. Fans were shocked that Beyoncé just stood there and did not defend Jay Z. Reports speculated that Solange was drunk and the couple was simply trying to stay calm because they were used to this erratic behavior. If Solange was not drunk, what prompted her to hit Jay Z? The family's public statement was intended to silence the rumors and speculation, but it just raises even more concerns.

So when your teacher told you "You need to pay attention to this math lesson, you will definitely use it when you get older" she/he was serious! Thank goodness I paid attention rather then pass notes (which I did during Social Studies for sure). 25+ years later, it has paid off. LOL!!! Simple couponing refers back to 2nd grade math. Let me take you back a few years.
Word Problem
Part A: If a coupon says .25 cents off a liquid soap and a supermarket will triple it. How much is the coupon worth?
Part B: The store also has it on sale for 99 cents instead of 2.99. How much do you have to pay out of pocket? How much do you save from the original price?
Show your work:
.25 x 3 = .75 (what coupon is now worth)
.99 - .75 = .24 cents (what I would pay)
$2.99 - .24 = $2.75 (what I saved from the original price)
So .99-.75 is .24 cents. I PAY .24 cents instead of $2.99
See how second grade math works!!
Stay tuned for lesson #2

Each year we buy Chinese New Year cakes or "nian goa" which are made of glutinous rice flour and sugar and steamed for about one hour until it solidifies. Dad recalls my late Grandmother steaming her cakes for 24 hours and they would last for a year without going moldy (the cakes we buy today start going off within a month). The cakes are brown due to the caramelisation (the cheats version uses brown sugar), sweet and have a sticky and gelatinous texture.
There are old wives tales associated with making these cakes ~ enquiries should never be made as to whether they are ready as it would result in pockmarked cakes, and pregnant or women having their periods should never be present as it is said the cakes will never set! Since these cakes are made in huge batches for Chinese New Year and represent prosperity, it is probably wise to be respectful of the traditions or feel the wrath if the cakes don't turn out well.
As I'm Cantonese, it is tradition to slice the cakes, dip it in egg and pan fry them so they are slightly crispy on the outside but still soft and gooey on the inside (how I like my men but perhaps tough rather than crispy). As I was born in Malaysia, the ethnic Chinese slice and sandwich the cakes between pieces of taro or sweet potato, drip it in egg and pan fry them until they are even crispier but less gooey. Another version which is what we have made here is to steam the cakes until it's really gooey, and with a pair of chopsticks, twist the cake into bite size blobs and roll them in shredded coconut. Since I live in Oz and fresh coconut is hard to come by (and frankly who

CONCORD — Five years after Tim Copeland was permanently injured by a cocaine-fueled driver who crashed into him while he was working as a state liquor enforcement officer, Copeland is still fighting for restitution for his injuries.
CONCORD — Five years after Tim Copeland was permanently injured by a cocaine-fueled driver who crashed into him while he was working as a state liquor enforcement officer, Copeland is still fighting for restitution for his injuries.
In a decision released by the N. H. Supreme Court on Friday, a legal debate over the amount of restitution was remanded back to the Superior Court.
Copeland was five minutes from his Stratham home on Sept. 6, 2005, when Daniel Bent, then 43, drove a Nu Pro Windows truck into the back of Copeland's unmarked cruiser. Copeland was on a Route 101 traffic stop, the day of his 18th wedding anniversary, and Bent later tested positive for cocaine.
Copeland fractured his spine in two places and has a permanent brain injury. Subsequently Bent was sentenced to three to six years in the state prison for second-degree assault and was given a suspended three-to-seven year sentence for three reckless conduct charges.
On Sept. 5, 2007, Copeland was fired from the Liquor Commission's Enforcement Bureau for being too injured to perform his duties.
According to the Supreme Court decision, Bent was ordered by the lower court to pay Copeland $21,230.86 in restitution. Bent appealed the decision to the state's highest court arguing the county attorney's office failed to "meet its burden" in demonstrating the amount of Copeland's economic loss attributed to the so-called assault.
Further, Bent argued, the Superior Court failed to determine if the restitution order would result in "duplicate compensation" to Copeland, because he received a private settlement.
Copeland received the confidential settlement for his injuries from Nu Pro Windows' insurance provider, Arbella Insurance Group, and previously acknowledged the settlement agreement contained language saying he'd have to repay a "state lien" for worker's compensation wages he received. The Governor's Executive Council approved a waiver of Copeland's requirement to reimburse the state for $127,000 in worker's compensation payments because, the council found, his injuries were work-related and career-ending.
But in January of 2010, Gov. John Lynch "negated" the Council's vote.
According to Friday's Supreme Court decision, the state provided the court with a copy of a letter sent to Copeland saying he has to pay back the $127,000 in worker's compensation. Arguing against Bent's appeal, the attorney general's office said the bill from the state is proof that Copeland's financial loss exceeds $21,230, the amount the lower court ordered Bent to pay.
Through attorney Stephanie Hausman, Bent argued that any amount of restitution would "result in double recovery" for Copeland because the settlement agreement "fully compensated" him.
The Supreme Court remanded the case back to Rockingham Superior Court for a judge to determine the exact amount of restitution owed Copeland and to decide whether it would result in "impermissible double recovery in light of the settlement agreement."
Copeland said Monday he was pleased with the decision.

What it is:
A balm for the eye area with the exclusive antiaging ingredient Alguronic Acid.
What it is formulated to do:
This rich yet lightweight balm hydrates and soothes the eye area to decrease puffiness and dark circles. The revolutionary microalgae-based ingredient Alguronic Acid fights visible signs of aging. It joins complementary active ingredients to deliver the appearance of renewal to the eye area.
What it is formulated WITHOUT:
- Parabens
- Sulfates
- Phthalates
What else you need to know:
While pursuing renewable energy solutions, a biotechnology laboratory in San Francisco unexpectedly discovered the powerful properties of Alguronic Acid, the bioactive compound available only in Algenist products.
Research results:
In comparison testing, Alguronic Acid outperformed other well-known active antiaging ingredients, demonstrating superior antiaging benefits. Average results measured following an in vitro test with Alguronic Acid:
- 55% increase in cellular regeneration
- 32% increase in elastin synthesis
- 26% decrease in melanin production
Following a self-assessment of 100 women, within 10 days of daily use:
- 86 % Felt skin density, suppleness, and elasticity was restored
- 93% Felt skin radiance appeared boosted
Within 4 weeks of daily use:
- Deep wrinkles appeared minimized in 78% of subjects.
- Skin appeared noticeably tightened and lifted in 81% of subjects.
Okay, on to my review. This eye balm has very little smell which I think is a good thing. A little of this product goes a long way. I find that it is quite soothing and my eyes sigh and say thank you whenever I apply it. It hydrates, moisturizes and all of that good stuff. It works well under makeup and on its own at bedtime. It has helped to strengthen the skin under my eye which I need. I have only noticed that it helps my dark circles a little bit. It doesn't work well enough in that area for my taste. I find that my Origins Eye Doctor does a better job for, dare I say it, half of the price.
This is a good eye balm. For $81 though, I would not repurchase. I previously had a jar of the Algenist Overnight Restorative Cream and that was a good product. I would say that the Algenist product line, from my limited exposure, puts out some good stuff. Their prices are quite steep though I think when contrasted to comparable products. I am just glad that I got both of mine free from Sephora.
I am lucky to have no crow's feet nor any noticeable lines around my eyes. As a result, I am afraid I can't say if this product works well on wrinkles or lines in the eye area. I also don't have any bags so I can't really comment on those issues and whether this product works well on them or not.
Packaging: 7/10
Easy to Work With: 10/10
Moisturizing: 10/10
Texture: 10/10
Gets Rid of Bags: don't know
Price: 2/10
Ingredients: 8/10
Quantity of Product: 7/10
Travel Worthy: 10/10
Gets Rid of Dark Circles: 4/10
Strengthens Under Eye Area: 9/10
Would I buy this again? No, because of the price and it doesn't do enough for my dark circles
Overall Rating: 8/10

One of the hardest things to accept is the loss of a loved one. Compounding on that pain are holidays, much like Mother's Day. I lost my mother at the end of January. It was sudden and fucked me up. Only weeks before we had talked about her taking a trip out to meet her grandsons. A meeting that never got the chance to take place. It is something I still struggle with, a lot. I penned this, whatever this is, for the Original Bunker Punks and Say It With A Bang Mother's Weekend. #OBPWITHABANG
The world still turns and it doesn't seem fair sometimes.
You still come crashing through my mind.
Halting everything I do.
I can't help but need days to lay there in sadness, forever missing you.
Losing you was like no pain I have ever felt.
You never realize how many words are left unspoken in this world.
I would give everything for one last "I love you"
There is a voicemail box filled with messages I don't ever dare to delete.
Countless "call me backs" or "I miss you"s
Times I deemed sleep or work or whatever I was doing to be too important.
Times I made mental notes to check in before the week was over.
I can't listen to the voicemails, although I long to hear your voice one more time.
You come crashing in
And I can't breath, but suddenly memories of you are filling me.
I see you in my kids did you know?
How could you, I never told you.
Your eyes had that shine, they inherited your glint.
They are growing so fast! You should see and hear them!
You should, but you won't.
Why do we let the day to day sweep us up and swallow us whole.
Why does a job take precedent over love?
I wish I had known better.
So many wasted moments and lost chances.
And you are left on Mother's Day writing about all the things you wished you said
Before it was too late.
And it isn't too late.
My mother taught me love
She taught me compassion.
Her lessons shine through and are imparted on her grandchildren.
That love I learned to give freely and openly is showered upon my family.
This year my wife will get a Happy Mother's Day, times two.
One from me and one for you.
I love you mom, forever and for always.
To the moon and back.
Your boy, who misses you every day.
