So, as I promised in my food enthusiast holiday post here is a little more insight to some Christmas gift ideas. I cut my shopping a little short this year. Mostly, I was lucky enough to find amazing gifts at the Holiday Heap in Baltimore and the ColdHearted show that I was in last weekend in Philadelphia. I have a short list of people to buy for as well.
As many of you (I hope) already know George and I will be moving to New York very soon…VERY SOON (starting to freak out a little!). I'm sure that we will be living in a closet in Brooklyn because we have a very tiny budget. I often like to joke that we'll be living in a tent under the Brooklyn Bridge. Anyhow, I can still dream of a nice apartment to put nice things in for now. These would all make great gifts for just about anyone though! Especially those who like gray a little too much.
As always, each image links to it's actual location.
I bought these as a gift for my mom a few years ago and they smell AMAZING! She's obsessed with candles and these made me want to actually have them in my home.

Good Afternoon, Cece's friends!
I am going to introduce a movie I saw last weekend.
I was quite impressed by this.
The movie, Life of Pi, is based on the bestselling novel of same title.
This is about the story of the drift of 227 days.
The protagonist of the story is PI(An abbreviation of Pissing).
On the way to go Canada for immigration,
he and his family bump into a rainstorm.
It was too hard to get over for all passengers,
fortunately or unfortunately,
he was one of survivors.
The others?
One tiger, one zebra and one of hyena.
▲One of survivor, a tiger
During the drift, he experiences one more rainstorm, starvation, hallucination
which is totally different from his routine.
Through extreme situation,
I guess the director wanted us to feel thankful to our life.
This movie has a lot of beautiful scenes of nature!
I am sure that you can't take your eyes of the screen.
I won't tell the story because I don't want to be spoiler.
I just will say that you can expect the big reversal in movies.
Just check this out! :D

South Dakota Ag News Headlines
Daugaard Signs Water and Environment Fund Legislation
South Dakota Ag Connection - 02/09/2018
Gov. Dennis Daugaard signed House Bill 1098 Thurday, which is a water and environment funding bill to appropriate dedicated funds for water, wastewater and solid waste projects. The bill is also commonly referred to as the Governors Omnibus Water Funding bill.
I appreciate that the state legislature approved the annual water and environment funding bill, Gov. Daugaard said. This bill has a long history of successfully helping project sponsors build water, wastewater and solid waste projects that are good for our people, good for the environment, good for economic development, and good for our state.
HB 1098 appropriates $13 million in dedicated funds. No general funds are used. The funds are awarded to local project sponsors at public meetings conducted by the Board of Water and Natural Resources, and the grant and loans are administered by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
In 1992 and 1993, the legislature established the dedicated funding sources for the Water and Environment Fund. The dedicated funding sources for water development are revenues from the Petroleum Release Compensation Tank Inspection fee and the sale of lotto tickets. Landfill and tire fees are dedicated for solid waste and recycling projects.
With this appropriation, $52.8 million has been provided for solid water and recycling projects since 1992 and $242.9 million has been provided for drinking water, wastewater and watershed restoration projects since 1993.

The move to a grain based diet would be catastrophic both for human health and for the environment. Sustainable meat-eating and farming culture is the only way we will survive as a species.
Start here to find out more!
Thanks for posting Joseph. There's no doubt sustainable meat farming is the way to go, but unfortunately the majority of meat on the market does not come from sustainable sources. I'm interested to know where the "catastrophic for human health and environment" comment comes from?
Here's a link showing you what most of our meat goes through to reach our tables. http://video.exploreveg.org/ This video shows the inhumane treatment of animals and is enough to make you think twice about dinner. Apart from the poor treatment of animals, however, there are the huge environmental and health costs of over consumption of meat which is more often the rule than the exception in developed countries.
Unfortunately the Farmer Salatins in the world (as highlighted in Joseph's link above) are few and far between and those that are around are having to fight uphill battles with enormous corporations who have money and hence power to influence policy and licensing. Until the industrialization of meat production is reduced and we do indeed eat products from sustainable farms, everybody should take a moment to at least consider, "Where did dinner come from?"

'Five Wishes' Helps Prepare for Death, Dying
By Liz Dudas, Consultant for Ministry Development,
Glenmary Department of Pastoral Ministers and Pastoral Services
(Editor's Note: Liz Dudas and department director Lorraine Vancamp make up Glenmary's Department of Pastoral Ministers and Pastoral Services—missioners' and mission members' trusted, go-to resource for a wide range of educational needs, both ministerial and spiritual.)
We all know that there are two things in life we cannot ignore: death and taxes. We complain and talk a lot about taxes, but rarely do we talk about death. I have found that older people want and need to talk about death. So for the last two years, I have been offering "Five Wishes" workshops—open to Glenmary mission members and other mission-county residents—as a way to begin this conversation with their families and friends.
Five Wishes is a document written in everyday language that completes and complements state-approved advance health care directives. It helps people express their wishes regarding areas that matter most—the personal and spiritual—in addition to the medical and legal.
I first heard of Five Wishes last year when our local Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) television station produced a documentary series entitled Aging Matters. It was designed to open a community-based conversation about what older citizens need to do to optimize their quality of life, and what the community needs to do to prepare for the rapidly increasing number of older citizens and the care they will require.
In the documentary, an emergency room doctor shared his experience of having to make split-second life and death decisions for patients he did not know, realizing these decisions might not meet their wishes. He eventually became a geriatric doctor, who now counsels people and helps them make decisions concerning their health care and end-of-life issues.
I personally experienced the significance of Five Wishes last July, when my sister, Catherine, became seriously ill. Fortunately, she had completed her Five Wishes, and named my grandniece as her "health care agent." Catherine was in the intensive care unit (ICU) for three weeks, most of that time on life support. When doctors could do nothing more for her and told Catherine she was dying, my grandniece and I carried out her wishes. She was able to die in comfort and with dignity, in the way she wanted. Her Five Wishes was her GIFT to us. We were able to carry out her decisions, knowing we were honoring and respecting her wishes.
Five Wishes was created by Dr. Tom Neal, who did volunteer work with Mother (now Blessed) Teresa of Calcutta in the United States and Mexico. Working with her and her religious sisters and seeing how they cared about the comfort and human dignity of the dying, he saw the importance of people's planning for serious illness and death. He designed Five Wishes as a tool for people to use as a dignified approach to life's end.
A hospice chaplain once commented that people need to say five things before they die: (1) "Please forgive me"; (2) "I forgive you"; (3) "Thank you"; (4) "I love you"; and (5) "Good-bye." The Five Wishes provides a way to accomplish this goal.
When using Five Wishes, the individual indicates: (1) the person I want to make medical care decisions for me when I can't, (2) the kind of medical treatment I want or don't want, (3) how comfortable I want to be, (4) how I want people to treat me, and (5) what I want my loved ones to know.
In leading the Five Wishes workshop, I go through each wish and talk about the various preferences. And participants have the opportunity to share their experiences and explain their choices. Another topic that always comes up is their desire to plan their own wake and funeral services. Such thoughtful planning helps individuals to apply their own beliefs and values and to experience death as an event of faith lived till the end with dignity and grace.
We promote Five Wishes in our mission workshops as a way to support people in times of serious illness. We also encourage parishioners to invite friends from other faith traditions who want to preserve human dignity and provide peace of mind for themselves and their families. There is even a Five Wishes document for children, so parents know what their seriously ill children would want.
Typically, our Glenmary missions have some individuals who may be the only Catholics in their families, and retirees whose children are scattered all over the country. By completing their Five Wishes, these mission members help start significant conversations that enable family members to honor their requests. When health care wishes are clearly stated in writing, there is no second-guessing. Guilt feelings and family disagreements can be avoided. Five Wishes is a gift to spouses, families, friends and doctors.
Five Wishes meets legal requirements in 42 states. It is used in the other eight states by attaching the completed Five Wishes document to state forms required in Alabama, Indiana, Kansas, New Hampshire, Ohio, Oregon, Texas and Utah.
The most typical comment from our participants is, "This was wonderful! Although we don't want to talk about death and dying, Five Wishes surely makes it easier to start."

lilac dream
It's okay to blush–if you're talking about your hair, that is. This pastel lilac hue washes over a modern bob cut for a distince mane profile without a lot of fuss. The bob shape includes an elevated nape and notched bangs to bring it into today's trendy world.

pretty piecey
It's not as sweet and fairy-like as a traditional pixie–this one has a bit of sass to it, and that's just what you need. Layers are tousled and teased, flipped and cajoled into ruffled silhouette that only gets better the more you tugged your fingers through it.
Hair by James Hair Fashion Club, Italy.
pomp & circumstance
Full fringe, pompadour crown, long length–the trifecta of a modern look if we've ever seen one. A round brush is a definite must, followed by styling spray and even a bobby pin or two to keep lengths tucked behind the ears.

Miranda Kerr
The bob cut is a classic, and Miranda knows how to make it work in today's fashion-forward world: with extra texture. Hair is flipped out on the ends, with easy waves running throughout. A curling iron helps create the curves.

ALYoF - May Goal
One of my dream goals for the school holidays was to finished hand quilting my Hometown Wagon Wheels quilt - progress of which was sort of glossed over in the holiday roundup posts... but it has been happening, and I would like to get it finished - as in QUILTED and BOUND (but maybe the handstitching of the binding still to finish) by the end of MAY. Now, is that specific enough for everyone?
6 comments:
I'm sure you'll manage it. And the orange peel/leaf shape is perfect in the quarter circle - looks great.ReplyDelete
Your quilting is lovely and even, I'm sure you will get it done :-)ReplyDelete
Looking good! You can do it! (You can always quilt sparsely with the intention of doing more later! Shhh! Don't tell anyone!)ReplyDelete
It looks like you'll get there!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 8, 2013 at 3:28 PM
I love that you have a hand-quilting goal. I've been itching to hand quilt for the last 7 months and still haven't gotten to it! Maybe this fall I will be able to. I know the summer is out! Good luck with your quilting.ReplyDelete
Great to have a catch up read of your blog, Suzanne :-) I see you are continuing to keep yourself busy and inspired. I love the hand quilting on this quilt...good luck with your goals.ReplyDelete

a new day
I'm not a big fan of Christmas anymore for reasons that are obvious by now to people who know me, and each year the pain of the humbug in my heart seems to grow just as I think it should be fading.
This whole year was spectacularly shitty in various ways beginning perhaps symbolically with the concussion that knocked me onto my ass and out of my groove for long enough that I'm still struggling to find my place among my own patterns and plans again.
That incident, the endless barrage of heartbreaking news stories lately, and my inability to see the finish line of a creative project I sank my entire soul into are three of the strikes that have kicked my ass deeper into depression than I have been since the time I started hating christmas in the first place four years ago- December 15, 2011- when my son Orion Xavier Jamil Glick was born still.
Sometimes I feel my strength, and I'm on fire like a phoenix with big things to look forward to — and other times I feel no distance at all between the present moment and the pain of the day I spent in hell: a cheerfully holiday bedazzled maternity ward filled with the cries of healthy newborns and birthday songs mixing with Christmas carols. The day I decided I wanted to die… not because I hated life (although I did during those moments) but to be with my treasured beloved child who everyone was telling me was in "a better place". I wanted to be in that place too, sleeping in heavenly peace like in that damn song I kept hearing that week.
That's where the humbug in my heart comes from this time of year, only this year the depression has been heavy and thick and worse than ever. I did manage to get myself to the doctor recently to actually get treated for the toxic feelings that have been pulling me down dangerously low like quicksand. My heart is still broken, emptiness is still there, but for now the avalanche seems to have stopped so that I might be able to find my footing again.
But still… it's fucking Christmas.
Lots of things died for me that day, and Christmas was one of them. I'm okay with that. I'm not Christian so I don't feel obligated to celebrate the birth of anyone else's son when mine didn't make it. And I don't think Christmas carols will ever again be anything but a trigger to my hospital PTSD.
And yet, I do love winter…. and twinkling lights…. and candles… and stars… and special days worth looking forward to.
Everyone else seems pretty jazzed and positive about this time of year in one way or another, so how do I keep from turning into a full time Grinch? How can I have a day to look forward to rather than a season to dread while still honoring the love and loss of my starchild?
Create a new holiday.
December is also when the constellation Orion returns to light up the night sky, just in time for his birthday.
December 15th, for me anyway, is now Najmasabbi.
Two Arabic words I mushed together in a way that I'm sure they don't rightly belong, but it is its own word now.
Najma means star.
Sabbi means boy.
Decor should include three stars or three candles in a row representing the three bright stars of Orion's belt: Alnitak, Alnilam and Mintaka.
Najmasabbi should be celebrated with (at least) three acts of kindness which the three stars or candles will also represent. Light your candles as your acts are completed.
Also, as my son was a great creation I never had the chance to "complete", Najmasabbi is a good day to focus on reaching goals. Finish something. A book, a poem, your first 10k run…. Cross a finish line.
Will writing about a made-up day with a funny sounding name fix everything? Nope. My battle is ongoing, but for today I'm willing to keep fighting. For today I've got my 3 acts of kindness to look forward to and my trinity of candles to honor life and hope and growing strength.
Not an attack on Christmas of course, but a silly way for me to try to fit back into something that doesn't fit me anymore.
Joyful NajmaSabbi.
and Happy Holidays to you.
3 Responses to "a new day"
That is a beautiful tribute to your Boy. Love to you.
I love the way you use your words to express how you feel. To be able to organize all that emotion and channel it into a new special day is amazing.
Glad you are seeing a professional as well. Joyful NajmaSabbi.
to you.
Thank you for sharing. May your words help others struggling with loss.

In one of its peak periods of the season, the Cal Poly Pomona women's softball team will be playing three double-headers in a row.
The Broncos, ranked No. 7 in the NCAA Division I with a 19-10-1 record, will meet two outstanding non-conference opponents in double-headers against UCLA at 1:30 p.m. Saturday and Fresno State at 1:30 Sunday.
But the most important of the double-headers will be at 1 p.m. today when the Broncos play host to Pacific Coast Athletic Assn. rival Cal State Long Beach.
That is because Cal State Long Beach (23-11) is 8-5 in conference play and battling with Pomona (7-4-1) for second place in the PCAA behind Cal State Fullerton.

I'll be moving to the Aichi Prefecture on work assignment in 6 months and need to clear up some questions I have regarding buying a bike, cost of Insurance, and licensing myself.
1. The Shaken
I'm familiar with stories of people selling cars or parting them out because engines had to be replaced ever 50,000km.
However, I am unsure if this practice also applies to motorcycles.
For example, if I bought a bike with 45,000km on it, Id only have 5000km left of use out of it.
2. Collision Insurance [Not Comprehensive]
Can anyone give me a ballpark estimate what the additional Liability/Collision insurance would run on a 2012 Honda CBR1000RR in Japan? [Assume 2 year plan]
3. Licensing
I am endorsed here in the States and understand I can transform my US endorsment to allow me to ride <400cc bikes.
However, for the Unlimited CC license is it as simple as paying the 200,000Y for a class or is it much more involved for the advanced license?
Thanks for any and all support guys.
I'm hoping to continue my love of riding while I'm over there.
It'll certainly help smooth my transition to Japanese life.

The journal, Journalism Studies , has published online my co-authored study on how social media is shaping the habits of news consumers.
The paper, Share, Like, Recommend: Decoding the Social Media News Consumer, reveals the extent to which people are turning to Facebook and Twitter for the news.
I presented the results of the study at the Future of Journalism conference held at the University of Cardiff in September 2011.
Here's the abstract:
This study examines the impact of social media spaces on news consumption, based on an online survey of 1600 Canadians. News organizations are rushing into social media, viewing services like Facebook and Twitter as opportunities to market and distribute content. There has been limited research outside the United States into the effects of social media on news consumption. Our study found that social networks are becoming a significant source of news for Canadians. Two-fifths of social networking users said they receive news from people they follow on services like Facebook, while a fifth get news from news organizations and individual journalists they follow. Users said they valued social media because it helped them keep up with events and exposed them to a wider range of news and information. While social interaction has always affected the dissemination of news, our study contributes to research that suggests social media are becoming central to the way people experience news. Networked media technologies are extending the ability of users to create and receive personalized news streams. Investigating how networked publics are reframing the news and shaping news flows would contribute to our understanding of the evolving relationship between the journalist and the audience.
The paper will be available in print later this year.

The Strand Theater, a noted landmark on the historic Marietta Square in Cobb County, opened as a motion picture house in 1935 until its closing in 1976. The premier movie was Top Hat starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. In 2004, a capital campaign was launched to raise $5,000,000 for the restoration and endowment of the theater. As of November 2008, $3,200,000 has been pledged.
When it re-opens, a musical theater group called the Atlanta Lyric Theater will make its home there. The company's season will include Disney's Beauty & The Beast, Smokey Joe's Café, The Priates of Penzance, and Chicago.
The Strand will also show classic, foreign and independent films including Casablanca, E.T.: The Extraterrestrial and the Wizard of Oz. For more information, visit www.friendsofthestrand.org.

It's not that they're not active. They host a big dialogue dinner, teach Turkish cooking lessons, have guest speakers and invite everyone to a end of Ramadan feast. They are constantly reaching out to build bridges.
"We are living in a very nice, peaceful atmosphere people in our neighborhood love each other," said Abdulhamit Bilici.
"I think we have a good impact as Turkish Americans," Bilici said. "Instead of living in our nutshell, we are in the community creating dialogue."
Now they feel compelled to talk about bridges that are in danger. They are worried about their own country and its failing democracy.
"The situation is dark and getting darker," Bilici said.
Bilici was the editor of the largest paper in the country. It was a paper dedicated to move Turkey into total democracy and part of the european community.
One year ago that ended in an almost unimaginable way. The paper and its 4,000 employees were taken over by the Turkish army and police.
"We don't have arms we only have pens," said Bilici. "How can we defend against a brutal raid by police force."
The Turkish government took over the paper 'Zaman.' Bilici said 50 reporters are currently in jail.
"These are reporters, editors and columnists: some are over age 70, 75," said Bilici. "These are intellectuals contributing to politics and ideas in our country."
Turkey is special to the United States as the only Muslim country in NATO. It's a long-time ally as a bridge between east and west, but it's hard to get past what is happening now.
Bilici has terrifying numbers:
- 200 journalists in jail
- 600 lawyers
- 160 media outlets shut down
- 700 college professors fired
- 20 universities shut down
Turkey continues its crackdown even blocking wikipedia from appearing on Turkish internet.

The book advocates the value of multidisciplinarity, adaptiveness, responsiveness, curiosity; of people who can connect other people, ideas and disciplines in order to address big issues and shape our future. It challenges some of the systemic issues we have with the ways in which we educate, recruit and categorise. It values specialism, but only as an aspect of the specialist–generalist continuum, arguing that those who tend towards polymathic generalism are as relevant as hyperspecialist experts. Both are necessary. Sometimes, in different contexts, the same person fulfils both roles.

Sparkling and Beachy Tastes Better
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of IZZE for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.
The older I get the more I realize that I don't like for things to be plain. Wanting things to be different or colorful or interesting largely comes from my DIY lifestyle. I'd much rather cover a lamp with glitter than leave it as is. Why in the world would I leave that shelf alone when I could spray paint it gold and then decoupage old paper onto the sides? :)
That love of something different or something more extends all the way to the things I like to drink. Plain is boring. Water is great and all for, like, sustaining life, but somewhere in the past few months of a crazy work schedule I started taking in lots and lots of caffeine to help sustain my workload. And taking in all of that coffee and pop and whatnot only helped to push me into drinking a lot of calories. Like a ton of calories and though I was drinking all. of. the. time. I still felt dehydrated.
Rob is constantly drinking fizzy water and I've always been pretty jealous that he gets something a little different without drinking in a few hundred calories a bottle like me. But I just couldn't get into sparkling water. It's like, the fizz tastes salty to me or something and it's just not tasty. But that was before. Now I've found IZZE and there are three delicious true-to-the-fruit flavors: Blackberry Pear, Mandarin Lime, and Raspberry Watermelon.
Not only do I love the taste I'm also digging that they are USDA Certified organic with natural flavors and 1-2 grams of organic cane sugar adding up to only 10 calories per 12 ounce serving. Now I'm finding myself able to hydrate, with actual water, without adding a ton of calories and sodium and all sorts of stuff I honestly just don't need without having to sacrifice the more flavor than plain ol' water that I really, really want.
And I have to tell you an IZZE Sparkling Water is PERFECT for the beach days. So when Rob and I packed up to hit Boca Chica we made sure to stop and grab some IZZE to toss into the cooler on the ride out. It was such a lovely time. We stopped along the way and harvested some prickly pears that I'm going to make jam with this weekend and then we went exploring in the odd, partially abandoned, partially lived in subdivisions along the way. It was so cool!
But since I just can't leave work at home (I'm coming to the realization that I really am a workaholic) once we actually hit the beach my Rob and I set up our bottles for a fun little photo shoot. Luckily Boca Chica is not a busy beach at all, often with us having a stretch of many meters of beachfront all to ourselves. So with minimal odd looks I held bottles while Rob snapped pics and directed me how to move so the bottles wouldn't have a glare. And then I had this clever idea of laying down on the beach and snapping pics of bottles resting on top of the sand while the surf gently washed up onto the shore near them. So I flopped my belly down in that wet sand and soon realized that the tide never comes up the same way, twice. Though nobody was close they all got to hear me yelling while I tried to shove my camera straight up in the air and save it from the surf.
I did still get the picture but perhaps I still have considerable room for improvement when it comes to my photo planning skills :)
At the end of the day I love hanging onto the cold glass bottle with the fun design on it, sipping away on the slightly sweet, fizzy bubbles. It doesn't matter if I am lucky enough to get to relax on the beach or if I simply must bring home the bacon and spend the day at my computer screen… a cold bottle of IZZE Sparkling Water makes it all go down easier. In the end, I'm a just glitter loving gal who doesn't do plain who likes to #SparkleBrightly every day with my new tasty treat.

In her article Schuffenecker, évolution d'une Symbolique [Schuffenecker, the evolution of a symbolic system] in the Émile Schuffenecker catalogue for the exhibition at Pont-Aven, Saint-Germain en Laye 1996/97, the art historian Jill-Elyse Grossvoguel identifies three stages in the work of the artist Gauguin nicknamed "good old Schuff":
an academic period from 1877 to 1884, marked by the influence of his master Carolus-Duran;
a neo-Impressionist period from 1884 to 1890;
a Symbolist period from 1890 to 1934.
Rochers à Yport [Rocks at Yport] is one of the most striking works from this second period in which he used broad strokes, similar to Monet. The multicoloured palette used here by Schuffenecker is also reminiscent of Monet: the green and blue of the sea, the pink and mauve of the sky, the orange, ochre, violet, green, and red of the algae on the rocks. The audacious zoom effect on the enormous rock that occupies the left of the canvas, whose gigantic proportions can only be appreciated by the boy in the beret in the foreground, again reminds one of Monet.
Local lore tells us that this small boy is Robert Nunès, the son of Alfred Nunès, mayor of Yport and collector of Impressionist art, whose portrait Renoir painted in 1883 (Barnes Foundation).

Cycling in Malta is sometimes lovely:
But sometimes its crazy. Narrow roads with ancient stone walls, lots of roundabouts and tons of cars.
MaltesePhil has been documenting his experiences cycling around and we have a few takeaways to share with you:
1) It is helpful to keep your wits about you and to have a Loud Bicycle horn
2) Huge traffic jams are most easily navigated by bicycle
3) Bicycle lanes begin and end mysteriously
4) Watch out for car collisions.
Would you like extra safety too? Follow this link to get your own loud bike horn.

The findResourceType and findPlatform functions are pretty straightforward. The interesting work happens in createTomcatConnectionProps and in manuallyAddTomcat. The key to it all though is on line 44. DiscoveryBoss provides methods for importing resources from the discovery queue as well as for manually adding resources. manuallyAddResources expects as arguments a resource type id, a parent resource id, and the plugin configuration (i.e., connection properties).
Determining the connection properties that you need to specify might not be entirely intuitive. I looked at the plugin descriptor as well as the TomcatDiscoveryComponent class from the tomcat plugin to determine the minimum, required connection properties that need to be included.
Here is how the script could be used from the CLI shell:
rhqadmin@localhost:7080$ login rhqadmin rhqadmin rhqadmin@localhost:7080$ exec -f manual_add.js rhqadmin@localhost:7080$ hostname = '127.0.0.1' rhqadmin@localhost:7080$ tomcatDir = '/home/jsanda/Development/tomcat6' rhqadmin@localhost:7080$ manuallyAddTomcat(hostname, tomcatDir) Resource: id: 12071 name: 127.0.0.1:8080 version: 220.127.116.11 resourceType: Tomcat Server rhqadmin@localhost:7080$
This effectively adds the Tomcat server to the inventory of managed resources. This same approach can be used with other resource types. The key is knowing what connection properties you need to specify so that the plugin (in which the resource type is defined) knows how to connect to and manage the resource.

The term 'Rentals' refers to all properties made available to rent by people seeking to pay money to live in somebody else's property. The word Rentals is also used in connection with vehicle hire including cars, motorbikes and bicycles which are all available in Malta for long stay or short stay visitors. The cost of vehicle rentals is reasonable with very low rates charged in the short winter months of December to March and rates increasing to the highest level during July and August. Similarly the cost of holiday Rentals during the summer months is higher than during the winter or in spring and autumn. There are short-stay Rentals at daily rates which vary according the type of property on offer as well as long stay rentals which are usually for between 6 months and a year.

ER Visit
I have had a lot of pain going on in my abdomen so on Monday I told Todd to take me to the ER. We waited in the waiting room for almost 3 hours then they called me back and I waited some more anyways after 6 different people treating me and 6 hours later I found out that I had a cyst on my kidney thats 2 and a half inches long and UTI. Yestersday I went to see Dr Dewitt he didn't think the cyst was life threatening but he ordered for a CT scan to be done just to make sure. I won't know anything until after I get the CT done on wednesday.

New Year Update
We are finally settled in our new place. We had a wonderful Christmas in Taylor this year. We spent Christmas Eve with my family and then we spent Christmas and the weekend after in Taylor with Todd's family. Since Todd has been layed off of work he has decided to go back to school to be a x-ray tech and specialize in sonography, I am excited for him to get into that field of work but I don't envy the school part. We also got new callings in our new ward. I got called to be the relief society meeting leader which is basically the enrichment leader they changed the name. so I definately got put out of my comfort zone. Todd got called to be on the troop scout committee. I am still babysitting to keep us afloat so we can pay all of our bills. So far we are having a good new year. Our foster care classes start tomorrow night which I can't believe its here finally it has seemed in some ways forever and other ways it went by fast we should be licensed to foster by the end of March.

Just A Quick Update
The last few weeks have been very crazy. We got moved into our other place and I'm still trying to get everything organized. Todd was layed off from work and is still trying to find another job. Since he got layed off we have been blessed with me getting calls to babysit so I have been busy with that and it explains why I am just barely updating my blog. We also got word that our foster care classes start January 13th and will go once a week for 10 weeks. We also went to our new ward and we like it so far. Anyways just incase I don't get a chance to update again before Christmas we wish all of you a merry christmas and a happy new year

Quick Update
Sorry its been a while since I've posted. The last month I have been babysitting a little one year old she is so fun to watch and has a very cute personality. So since I've been doing that I've put most everything else on the back burner for awhile.
Wednesday we decided last minute to take a break for the day and go to the valley. We were able to see our new niece for the first time she is a very pretty baby, and has more hair on her head than I do. ( Well in the long run she will have tons more than me).
I found out two weeks ago that we are set up for Foster Care classes starting in January so we are excited for that to happen.

"Can someone please come and check me?" I asked.
"It hasn't been an hour yet. We'll come when it's time," replied the nurse through the intercom.
It had actually been an hour and twenty minutes, but who's counting? I lay in the slightly elevated hospital bed, IV tubes, epidural tubes, and other paraphernalia stretched across my body, accompanied by the loud rhythmic beat of the fetal heart monitor. My husband sat tiredly in an uncomfortable chair next to my bed where he had spent the night listening to the blood pressure machine go off every half hour.
I was pregnant with my second child, and after a highly medicalized, but fast first birth (induction, epidural, baby out in just 5 hours), I knew I wanted to attempt a natural childbirth. As my due date came and went, my Dr. offered an induction, but I told her I just wanted to wait it out. My in-laws were going to descend upon our home within a few days, and we didn't have a proper bed for my mom-in-law to sleep on (just a mattress on the floor), so my mom and I drove an hour away to an antique store to look for an iron bed. While walking and shopping for a few hours, I was having Braxton-Hicks (or so I thought), and wasn't terribly concerned-I had been having them for several days.
Later that evening, while couch surfing, I felt a little *pop*, and a tiny gush of fluid. My DH and I were terribly excited, but didn't know what to do next-there weren't any contractions, and I wasn't uncomfortable at all. So, we continued watching tv for about 45 minutes. I finally said "Maybe we should call someone?", so we contacted the phone-a-nurse service. The OB on call (who was NOT my regular OB) called back in about 20 minutes and in a very crabby tone, essentially told me to haul it in to the ER-NOW. So, we laughed, packed leisurely, and moseyed to the hospital about 10 minutes away. I had one strong contraction while filling in all of that crazy paperwork, but was still not really uncomfortable.
I went into pre-term labor at 32 weeks. I had no idea I was 5 cm dilated or that I was even in labor to start with, until I mentioned I was having menstrual-like cramps at one of my routine checkups and my midwife checked me. I went straight to the hospital and was told the baby was going to come that night. The nurses had me hooked up to the monitors and would say, "You're having a contraction." And I'd say, "I am?" because I really didn't feel anything. We tried to keep the baby in as long as possible and the neo-natal team was ready for the baby.
The baby never came that night, thank God. The longer she could stay in, the better. I stayed at the hospital for two and a half weeks, and the baby still never came. The contractions were not painful and would subside when I drank plenty of water and stayed in bed. The hospital finally decided to discharge (even though I remained at 5cm) since I had reached 35 weeks and the baby seemed healthy and my water still had not broken. Though they warned me that when my water broke, the baby would come fast and if I couldn't make it to the hospital in time, to call 911.
I suppose the best place to start is when my irregular contractions that I had been feeling since Saturday night became very regular contractions Monday afternoon. I had gone into work that Monday only to be sent home because having contractions every 7-10 minutes was making my co-workers nervous. Needless to say I was officially on maternity leave. By Tuesday morning I was in what I considered full blown labor. My surges were consistent and time-able and some even made me stop and concentrate. Today was going to be the day!
Laboring at home for as long as possible was the plan…and we were off to a great start. Staying busy was key; from doing laundry, to last minute baby preparations, to taking the dogs to the park. I wanted to remain as active as possible for as long as possible. By about 11am my surges were to a point where small tasks around the house were no longer possible. At that point surges were spent rocking with Chris' (my husband) support and leaning over the couch. Chris was a great support, reading our HypnoBirthing scripts and breathing with me through surges. By 11:30 surges were coming every 4 minutes, lasting about 45 seconds so we thought it was time to take a trip to my OB to see how far I had progressed. My OB's office as well as the hospital I delivered at is roughly an hour from our house. When we got to the OB I had my very first vaginal check…I was 3cm and 100% effaced. My OB gave us the ok to head to the hospital…I however had other things in mind.
My daughter, still so little, was sleeping next to me, her little body curled up peacefully. As my contractions increased in intensity, I remember crying. I love her so much. I held her tight, and hoped that she would enjoy being a big sister. For a while, I watched TV and finished the article I was working on. I left my daughter to sleep as I got in the tub and felt the hot water soothe my laboring body. I prayed. For a smooth birth, for the intuition to tell me if something was wrong. When the water grew cold, I got up, and went back to bed.
It was cold in the apartment. Russia and the Ukraine were in the middle of a gas dispute. Our city's central heating system was short of fuel, we were left in the cold. Outside, there was a fierce frost and a lot of snow. I was struggling to get the air conditioning in my apartment to blow hot air instead of cold, so that my baby would not be born into a cold space. I finally succeeded but it was still cold, so I turned the oven on and left its door open. Finally, things were starting to heat up.
I had my February 2007 daughter as a natural childbirth in a hospital (her story is here), and when we became pregnant again, I decided that we would look into leaving that hospital and moving to a local birthing center.
We stayed with the hospital until our 20 week ultrasound when we found out we were having a baby boy. At that point, because everything looked great and I was already sick of the 30+ minute drives to the hospital (that never had their appointments on time), I called the birthing center.
This birthing center is attached to a small hospital in the next town over to us. As a comparison, it has about 500 births a year compared to my former hospital's 4000. The women's practice in this hospital is small (one midwife; one OB/GYN). I signed up to be under their midwife on staff. As of the first appointment, I knew I had made the right decision. Finally, I was talking to someone who was on the same level as me regarding childbirth and actually wanted to discuss my birth plans!
May 16, 2006 (the day before Moses was born)
Moses was 8 days overdue and was scheduled for an induction on May 19. I was 2cm dilated and 90% effaced. I tried to talk to our doctor about getting an extension on the induction date, but she wouldn't budge. I was very concerned about going for an induction because I had heard that it was more difficult to have a natural delivery after having an induction. After trying everything (or so it seemed) to get labour started (stair walking, bumpy car rides, two acupuncture appointments, herbal concoctions, talking to Moses, talking to my body, talking to Spirit, etc….), I decided that the next morning, I would try the castor oil induction (which I heard could be brutal due to the diarrhea that it may cause, but I was getting desperate).
That night, I cried and was quite emotional because I was wondering if I was in some way preventing labour from starting. Was I scared? Was I just not ready? I had a good cry and created a birth collage with intentions for how I wanted the birth to go. (i.e., that I would be supported, that my body knew how to give birth, that the birth would be what it will be). I talked to my good friend, Shelley, and she said that she would do some long-distance Reiki on me that evening.
A few months into the pregnancy, my husband James and I decided that we wanted to have a natural childbirth, and we signed up for Bradley Method Husband Coached Childbirth classes. We created a birth plan and brought it to my OB's office and the doctors there seemed to be very willing to accommodate our natural birth preferences. There was even a Certified Nurse Midwife working with the practice who we could choose to have our appointments with and have at our hospital birth. We were following the diet and exercise plan from the classes and our pregnancy was progressing perfectly.
At 28 weeks I was required to take a Glucose Tolerance Test. They called me and told me that my blood sugars were so high, I was automatically being diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes with no further testing. This diagnosis changed the way my pregnancy was treated from that point on. I didn't have to change my diet much in order to control the blood sugar, and I stuck to my regular exercise every day.
I had been feeling a little bit "off" on Monday and Tuesday, but tried not to dwell on it or let it get my hopes up or anything. I had a few braxton hicks contractions that were uncomfortable, but not painful, and again, tried not to think anything of it.
I had a midwife appointment Tuesday afternoon. Even though I know it doesn't mean much, I asked her to check me because I was curious. I was 2.5cm dilated and 40% effaced. Interestingly, Lena had been transverse and posterior, meaning she was facing the side and front instead of the back. Facing backwards is optimal for labor and birth. Well, Lynda could tell when she checked me that her head was actually anterior, which is what we want. So, she basically had her head turned to the side, which was good. Lynda offered to strip my membranes. I entertained the thought, but really just wanted this labor to start on its own. So, I declined and grudgingly set up a 41 week appointment for next week.
I went to sleep that night resigning myself to further days of pregnancy.
Sunday 10th of June, I noticed bub wasn't moving all that much, so I rang the delivery suite and they told me to come in to get bub monitored. It was about 4.30pm and Matt(my husband) had started dinner, so we got the kids organised and took their dinner over to my mum's house. On the way to mum's I started having some painful contractions, but I put them down to being braxton hicks because they were so irregular. I had also gone into hospital on the Friday due to prelabour and this felt much the same.
We got to hospital at 6.15pm, drank some juice and sat around. The contractions started coming more frequently, every 2 mins and were fairly painful. Bub gave a few good kicks and we had to wait around to be examined before they would let me go home. At this stage the braxton hicks were getting a bit bitey but I didn't have my hopes up after only being 1cm dilated on Friday. The midwife wanted to do an internal check before I was allowed to go and said I was 3cm. Just as she was telling me the bag of waters were bulging, they popped and I was 4cm, she told me I wouldn't be going home.

I read Sandy's e-guide "How to Find, Recruit and Manage
Sales Reps" after 3 1/2 years of managing reps, and can say that despite this experience I still learned from
Sandy's guide.
Andrea Butter
We were hoping to sell our product on the wholesale market and looked for some time for a rep.
[Using one of Sandy's recommended techniques we obtained] a name and we are now selling wholesale thru that rep.
Clayton Kort
I've had businesses in the past, and evaluating and locating reps were one of my weak points.
With Sandy's eGuide, "How to Find, Recruit, and Manage Independent Sales Reps!" I learned some important pointers I was overlooking and found excellent resources on how to really locate quality reps suited to MY product.
I now know better what to look for and how choose who is right for me. As a start-up, this information was worth its weight in gold.
again Sandy, the nuggets of information and resources you gave me would have cost me so much time and expense to
try to find and implement if I had not gotten your eGuide!
Anna Pereira
Even though I already work with 15 - 20 sales reps in several states, Sandy's eGuide offers new information about sourcing and managing reps that will help me strengthen and build my business further.
I stumbled upon my first rep at a local show and had no idea regarding the dynamics of the relationship. Sandy's eGuide is loaded with useful information and invaluable due to Sandy's unique roles as both manufacturer and sales rep.
"How to Find, Recruit, and Manage Independent
Sales Reps" is one of the best sources of straightforward, no-nonsense advice resources regarding the taking of
products from sales at local retail shows, to wholesaling via sales representatives.
Michelle Wilkes
If you're looking for insider knowledge on how to work with sales reps for your product line, Sandy's eGuide is a must.
I wish I'd read it when I had my t-shirt line. It would have helped me to navigate and understand the world of sales reps better.
I really love the specific advice on how to find sales reps and how to exactly work with them to maximize sales.
It's not easy to find a sales rep that is a good
fit, but Sandy manages to explain how it all works for maximum benefits to everyone involved.
I'd like to say Thank You So Very Much. I found you a week ago as I was searching the web for a independent sales rep. I learned more from you in a week then I have from people I've known for years. Thank You for sharing so much valuable information and the encouragement as well as the real deal on various situations lol. I got so excited on linkedin reading the comments, I made one without realizing the last comment was in 2011.
I purchased your book a couple of days ago Best Book I read and have kept me on the edge of my seat waiting for more information in a long time. I will be passing this information of your website and book onto every entrepreneur whose serious about doing the work and growing. You are an angel! Thanks Again
I have read Sandy's wholesale guide and finding a sales rep guide books. To say the least they are invaluable for a beginning business person or veteran sales rep.
Her style of writing is as personal and honest as her consultations are over the phone.
The information she provides is the good stuff you actually really need to know!
Sandy has given me the confidence and real life information I need to be a successful wholesaler and find the reps I need to build my business.
Thanks a lot Sandy :) We will be in touch.

|The Master - First incarnation.
The Master was referred to as a "jackanapes" and an "unimaginative plodder" by the Third Doctor, the "quintessence of evil" by the Fourth Doctor, "one of the most evil and corrupt beings [the] Time Lord race [had] ever produced" and that his "crimes [were] without number and [his] villainy without end" by High Council President Borusa, "pure evil" by the Eighth Doctor, "stone-cold brilliant" by the Tenth Doctor, and "the Time Lords' most infamous child" by Time Lord founder Rassilon.
|The Master - 'Last' incarnation.
It was eventually discovered that the Master's diabolical madness was partially the result of a genuine malady in the form of a never-ending drumming sound that had been retroactively implanted inside his head by the Time Lords on the last day of the Last Great Time War to further their own goals.

Hi All
I am at my wits end, I don't know how I am going to carry on.
Basically this started last December, when I had a pain bedind my right eye in the corner, a sharp throbbing pain. This lasted throughout Dec, and I felt lethargic, feverish, tired etc - Docs said -cluster headache?.
Gradually in January the pain changed, and I began to have daily facial pain over my forehead, bridge of my nose, all down my nose. Ears begain to pop, felt like throbbing continual pain. Pain behind my ears throbbing... Docs said maybe sinusitis....use steroid nasal spray. No symptoms change, feeling progressively iller....docs refer me to neurologist, who did the basic tests, nothing showed up, had a CT scan of brain and sinuses, nothing showed up, had blood tests, nothing showed up (although some got lost?!) Symptoms no better, headaches/face ache every day, not relieved by any painkiller to date. Saw ENT - looked up my nose with camera, nothing seen. No sinus problems. Must be muscular pain, Prescribed amitriptyline - take for 3 months together with neck physio - no change
Pain gets worse, back to gp, prescribes antibiotics, nothing helps.
Have tried pizotifen, cocodamol, ibuprofen, diflonac,
I CAN't COPE ANYMORE WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME
pain varies on a daily basis but is always there.
Have tried
