Wrestling is one of few escapes from this sick, sad world we live in that I have these days. And while most of the wrestling I watch right now only serves to depress me even further, the glorious show that is Lucha Underground and also NXT when it has purpose are our saving graces. And while I am somewhat looking forward to Survivor Series just for some fun – because let's face it, there's not too much that's at stake – this show will be the highlight of the weekend, more than likely. (Although Aztec Warfare on Lucha Underground will be better than both!)
Tye Dillinger vs. Bobby Roode
This should be a fun match. Of course the first thing that everyone talks about this match is that they're both Canadian and the crowd's going to cheer both. Even though one's a clear cut heel. I don't think we're going to have to worry about that. So as much as we want Tye to win I don't think that's happening.
Prediction: Bobby Roode
Dusty Classic Finals
The Authors of Pain vs. TM61
I feel like both tag matches on this show could go either way, to be honest. This kind of feels like a clear cut AOP are going to win, but they've seemed to get closer to losing with each match, and Paul Ellering isn't allowed at ringside for this I believe. But with what I think will happen with the tag team title match, I'm thinking it's going the way I expect.
Prediction: The Authors of Pain
NXT Women's Championship
Asuka (c) vs. Mickie James
So this should be pretty awesome. Everyone loves Mickie James and I'm so happy to see her back. That being said the victor is pretty obvious. It makes sense though – Asuka has no legit competition yet and Ember Moon is great but it's too early.
Prediction: Asuka
2 out of 3 Falls Match for the NXT World Tag Team Championship
(c) The Revival (c) vs. Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa
This will without question be the best match on the show. It was at Brooklyn, and there's noting on this card that comes close. Plus it's 2 out of 3 falls. I think Gargano and Ciampa will win but if they don't, I expect Ciampa to turn heel.
Prediction: Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa
NXT World Heavyweight Championship
Shinsuke Nakamura (c) vs. Samoa Joe
I really want Joe to get the belt back. But regardless – whomever loses can we please bring up to Smackdown?
Prediction: Shinsuke Nakamura
The show should be really fun. Review Saturday night.

Hi guys! I won the previous Etude House friday event on facebook and they sent me this Sweet Recipe Dear My Jelly Lips-talk. ^_^
I don't have this lippie yet in my Sweet Recipe collection so today I'm going to review it~
*cough* I tried to imitate the Etude launch event by putting the Jelly around the lipstick but since I don't have any Jelly with me right now I used Nips instead..lol
I read a lot of review on this lipstick previously and some of them don't like it because it is too greasy or too oily for them and that's one of the reason why I didn't bought this..
Anyway, Etude House given me a chance to try this out myself and personally, I don't like it not because it was too oily but I don't like it because the color is too sheer. The texture is okay for me because I don't find it too oily or greasy like the review said. I feel like my lips is rather moisturising with this and I don't have to top it up with lip balm or wear a lip balm underneath it.
Like I said, the color is very sheer and it didn't show up that much on my lips so it is kinda useless if I put the swatch picture of the color on my lips. Since my lips is a bit darker on the outer side because of genes, I prefer more pigmented one or lipstick that can cover the dark rings around my lips.
Plus, this lipstick will really disappear after they dried and if you drink or eat, it will gone completely. This lipstick is color transfer type so if you just put your lips on the glass or touch a spoon while eating, it will disappear from your lips.
The lipstick has a scent of orange candy..It smells good but not as good as the other Etude House lipstick..hehe :D
The lipstick has a scent of orange candy..It smells good but not as good as the other Etude House lipstick..hehe :D
To those who might have the same problem as me(dark rings around the lips), you may wanted to try putting a lip concealer before putting this lipstick on your lip. That way it can cover your lip color much better. Since I don't like to use lip concealer so this way would work for me..haha..
Anyway, the color is pretty because it's not as bright as the lipstick looks and very moisturising if you had a very dry and chapped lips.
Thank you for reading :D

Sometimes you get the feeling that you're getting old when you find yourself saying to your kids things like, "Ten years ago, there was no Facebook, YouTube, or Blackberry. 'Google' wasn't a verb. We were excited to use 2-megapixel digital cameras [see photo at right]. Texting was pretty new. And certainly, no one was blogging, vlogging, or tweeting."
When I look back at my life over the past ten years, I realise that the greatest and best changes were the personal ones. And one thing that has always kept me young, feeling alive, and loving life, is my daughter. She's fun, funny, generous, helpful, kind, creative, intelligent, and a generally good human being. She's really easygoing and trouble-free—the kind of kid whom you have to convince to have a birthday party and birthday presents and have dessert and treats. She's the type of child who would make any parent say, "If I had to choose someone to introduce me to the tough job of parenting, I'd choose that one."
She's made my first 10 years of parenthood easy, memorable, and an absolute joy.
Happy birthday, baby girl.

Solo, double or even triple acts, many kinds of circus bike action, lofty characters galore, ground based too, snazzy juggling and fabulous diabolo, comedy show with skills, laughs, excitement and feisty finales!
Its 2019 and yet another year of political turmoil and nonsense but on to brighter and more positive stuff methinks, I am absolutely raring to go and full of energy for any kind of event anywhere in the UK, Europe and the world!
I am a genuine one man circus and can promise splendid entertainment be it through performing shows, walkabout, meet-greet, promotions or fabulous circus workshops for fetes, fayres, festivals, parties, roadshows, corporate team building and fun days.
I am happy to provide multiple skills, for example, stilt walker juggler meet greet followed by a drop in comprehensive fabulous circus workshop plus a comedy juggling and diabolo show, all within the same event if desired and if budgets allow, I can bring in one of my double act partners, our fabulous triple act or even some other brilliant speciality acts!
I specialise as a juggler, diabolist and interactive juggling stilt walker in a wide variety of styles and characters all in a comedy interactive fashion using witty banter, fun and a healthy dose of old fashioned good manners and chivalry! Comedy juggling and diabolo shows with much fun and an exciting finale of rolla bolla or wobbly crate stack plus juggling of clubs, rubber chickens, knives, fire torches or wicked machetes (as appropriate..!)
I absolutely love to teach circus skills to all ages, perform with various trick, weird, wonderful bicycles and unicycles, Act, work as a Compere and Presenter and I am always open to a new challenge!
My transportation is 'Chalky' a retro fitted smart and tidy Renault Trafic high top motor caravan, set up to carry me and all required equipment (and more). I can base myself from it for many events as it also serves as a dressing room, green room, lunch room and overnight accommodation therefore keeping expenses to a minimum for the event and myself! If the need arises such as height restriction, limited parking etc and if less equipment is required, I also have a compact Suzuki Ignis car.
I put a great deal of importance and pride in smart costume, be it one of my many bespoke tailored groovy coloured suits or as a specialised character. I can also create bespoke costumes as I have done for F1 Bahrain every year since 2006. This also applies for my circus workshop work with costume to match the style of any event and even complete theming such as Pirate, Victorian and Medieval circus skills workshops aka Circus Kaos the most fabulous circus workshops in the world..

Update: Mel Watt Confirmation Blocked by Procedural Vote
Thank you to everyone who reached out to their Senators and urged an up/down vote on the nomination of Representative Mel Watt (D-NC) as the next director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). Unfortunately, the Senate voted 56-42 to oppose cloture, the limiting of debate that would have moved the up/down vote forward. This means that the Senate is not able to vote on the nomination itself.
The FHFA regulates Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and its role in the housing choices of all Americans cannot be overstated. Only two Republicans, Senators Richard Burr (R-NC) and Rob Portman (R-OH), joined Senate Democrats and Independents to support having an up/down vote on President Obama's nominee.
During the vote on cloture, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) switched his vote from a "yes" to a "no," which allows him to submit a motion to reconsider the vote at any time. It is unclear if, when, and under what circumstances a vote on Mr. Watt's nomination would be reconsidered. Please read the next Memo to Members for more details on the vote and FHFA's future leadership.
Please express to your Senators your thanks or your disappointment in their vote today, the first time since 1843 that a sitting member of Congress has been rejected for a Cabinet-level position by the Senate.

Hide Forgot
This is, IMO, a high priority enhancement request.
RPM should keep log of all changes in RPM database. This is because
those funky warnings about .rpm{save,orig,new} etc. usually scroll off
way too fast when upgrading a lot of packages, or are generally ignored/forgotten
when something happens. Also, this serves as a very good change history and is
good for debugging problems with packages.
FWIW, AutoRPM records the following:
Thu Oct 12 23:25:59 EEST 2000 - tmpwatch-2.2-1 -> tmpwatch-2.6.2-1
The log, logged to e.g. /var/log/rpm.log should consist of at least the following:
- Upgrades and installations
- Removals of packages, including those caused by Obsoletion
- If anything was output, that would have to be saved in the file in a meaningful form
- with --nodeps, --force, --oldpackage or the like were used, record it was used and
what were the problems without the command.
Some of these can be done with external programs too, but IMO, this really should be
an integral feature of RPM.
I'm not sure if Debian packaging system does some of this, it might be worth a look
for ideas.
Request seconded.
if you wnat to have just the output of a command, run the 'script file' before
the particular command and you will have a log in the 'file'.
I will also chime in my support for this enhancement. I'd like to see it ASAP.
I agree, this would be extremely useful.
I wanted something like this for ages and was thinking of putting it in Bugzilla
just now. If you're administering lots of computers with a small team, one thing
you need is a logbook of all changes. We've got a policy of only installing
RPM-packages but there was no real way to track changes to the RPM database.
(We use check-packages, but the output s*cks and the fact that it mails the
output and you loose actions if things are reverted makes it sometimes useless)
Another feature I'd like to see implemented (and will add here if not already
so) is:
+ A way to lock a package so rpm won't upgrade it automatically (even won't
force it) unless it is explicitely unlocked. (Maybe locking is not possible from
within the RPM-package itself to avoid 'sticking' packages that you cannot
uninstall or something). See it as a flag so you can tell other administrators
that this package has some 'importance' attached to it. Like you could lock the
kernel-package on a certain system to draw the attention that it is a custom
package, or you can lock production-application to avoid they get updated by you
r new colleague administrator.
While I understand the need, I believe this is a system administration,
not an rpm, problem.
For starters, periodically saving the output of
rpm -qa | sort > per-machine-manifest
gets you most of what you want, i.e. package x changed
at time period y on machine z. If you want/desire more specific info,
you can use --queryformat to extract other information from the installed
package database. 'Tain't hard, I've used a cron driven cvs checkin
to watch the rot in Red Hat build tree's in the past, worked quite
well IMHO. Looking at the periodic reports tells you what was
removed when, try using "diff".
Now for logging in rpm. If I were to implement logging, I believe that I
would almost instantly get dozens of request for this or that format, I
can't possibly devise a format that keeps even a plurality of people
happy. Furthermore, since rpm has --root i.e. must be able to run
in empty chroot's etc, logging must be able to be disabled/configured/etc,
I don't believe that I can ever devise a sufficiently general and well
understood reporting mechanism to be useful.
In fact, using popt aliases, there's literally no reason why a disciplined
system administrator can't figger a new rpm command line option to re-execute
rpm within a script to log whatever information (i.e. login user/tty, date,
line options that was used, etc.) is desired for "logging". while
packages without changing rpm.
OK, time to put on the flak suit :-). I'm gonna close this bug "WONTFIX".
I think you're wrong ;-) No offense though ;-)
First of all, I cannot log all changes to the RPM database as a lot of programs
use libraries (either through perl, python or c) and therefor my rpm-wrapper
(which I have written) is of limited use.
Secondly, your first argument (that it is a system administration problem) makes
no sense as rpm was there to facilitate the system administrators job. So it
fits right into rpm's purpose.
Finally, your second argument (that the log-format wouldn't make everyone happy)
is not a real argument. This argument could be used by virtually everybody who
has to implement logging. It makes no sense that you won't do it because you
cannot make everybody happy with the format.
Then you suggest to use something that diff's, which I'm using on all systems.
It's called check-packages and is sending me a bunch of mails foor every machine
every day and it can only capture changes from one day to another. There's no
way I can see whether it had been uninstalled first and then reinstalled by a
newer. (Which makes a huge difference than upgrading). Things like that I cannot
possibly know (certainly not when applications like autodld or autorpm use
The problem with the chroot and stuff can easily be fixed (log on chroot if log
exists there). You could even apply that logic always (so I can touch the file
to make it start logging).
So, is it possible to discuss this with other RPM-developers or sysadmins inside
Red Hat ?
It would be greatly appreciated, even if the verdict is negative. Thanks !

Hello Everyone!
Have multiple questions for the forum here, hope I can get some answers!
Just relocated from Zurich to Tokyo. Used to drive a Suzuki Intruder M800, nice nice bike. Sold it before coming.
I have come to Japan, in theory, for a short assignment with work until +- end of this year, 2017. So, in theory, I have still 11 months left here. I say in theory because it could well be that my time in Tokyo gets extended, you never know! :)
With that in mind, and holding a Swiss Driver licence,I have the following questions:
- I have an IDP from Switzerland issued in June 2016 and valid until 2020. CAn I use it to drive in JApan then only until June 2017 (just 1 year)as I read somewhere, or can I use it for all the official period in Japan?
- As I have a Swiss Driving licence, I went to the JAF and got the official translation. Now I have my Swiss licence and translation, which I understand could work again fr me for just 1 year. Is that right?
- I asked and apparently, I could also try to get a Japanese driving licence just having to do my eye check, nothing more. Is this correct? If I got the Japanese driving licence, will they give me back the Swiss one? Or would they send the Swiss one back to Switzerland? I ask because this is what they do in Switzerland when you get a Swiss licence, they send back your original licence to the country authorities
I am thinking of purchasing a 2nd hand bike and sell it when I leave. Aside from whether it makes sense or not from a financial perspective, questions:
- Can I buy this 2nd bike with just my IDP? or my Swiss driving licence + translation? or do I need something else?
- For a 2nd hand bike, 1200 cc, what kind of yearly insurance cost should I be facing?
- Anything else I should watch out when buying a 2nd hand bike from a private seller based on your experience?
Thank you all for any answers you may give me!

2017 Russian Test Skates: Day One (Ladies and Men)
Some snap observations / reactions to Day One of the Russian men's and ladies' test skates this season, i.e., the first look at many of the Russian skaters' new programs this season . . . please insert usual caveats about how the performances at the test skates are often rough drafts of what the skaters' programs will look like during the actual season, how skaters are not quite in fighting shape at this point of the year, etc., etc.
The ladies
Evgenia Medvedeva
Are those weirdly deep breaths, anguished expressions, and shoulder rolls at the end of Ms. Medvedeva's short program actually part of the choreography? Ilia Averbukh, what does it all mean?! Whatever, the judges are going to love this program regardless of the questionable ending, or the fact that it's basically the same choreography (minus the miming) copied and pasted from Ms. Medvedeva's short programs for the past two seasons. I have learned to accept the inevitable, and am at peace.
Alina Zagitova
The Black Swan. Why is Eteri Tutberidze so fixated on choosing ballet music for Alina Zagitova's programs when such ballet music draws attention to the fact that Ms. Zagitova lacks the impeccable lines and posture demanded by ballet? That said, however, it's a smart choice for Ms. Zagitova to skate to the music of Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan (with some music from Moonlight inexplicably thrown in!) as opposed to straight-up Tchaikovsky, as her less-than-classical posture and lines can more plausibly be waved off as avant-garde, or perhaps the consequences of portraying a character undergoing mental breakdown. Aside from that, there are some good highlights in Ms. Zagitova's Black Swan short program, such as the very cool back charlotte into a 2A, which is nicely placed in the music and looks very impressive even if the axel wasn't perfect like it was during the test skate. Black Swan is definitely an improvement on Ms. Zagitova's short program from last season, but the whole program would be more impactful if Ms. Zagitova held out her moves more and created moments for the audience instead of constantly rushing to cram in the next transition.
Maria Sotskova
The White Swan. In contrast to Ms. Zagitova's more . . . contemporary . . . Black Swan short program, the statuesque Maria Sotskova is clearly aiming for a more traditional look with her Swan Lake short program, which sticks to Tchaikovsky's original music. Many wave off Ms. Sotskova as "boring" and deride her packaging as "dated," but Ms. Sotskova's more old school, classical styling helps her stand out more among the sea of Eteri Tutberidze ladies skaters, none of which can be deemed as classical in any sense of the term. I actually quite enjoyed Ms. Sotskova's stately, elegant Swan Lake, but her jumps at the test skates--as well as her increased height--do not bode well for her performances this season. One has to admire Ms. Sotskova's ambition, however, at moving all her jumps to the second half of the program and adding all those arm variations this season even as her jumps look more precarious than ever.
Elena Radionova
Elena Radionova kept her Porgy and Bess short program (choreographed by Shae-Lynn Bourne) from last season, but switched coaches from Inna Goncharenko to Elena Buianova. Unfortunately, Ms. Radionova's jumps and speed over the ice look quite disappointing at this point of the season, and her performance was definitely quite muted compared to earlier iterations of Porgy and Bess from last season. However, under Ms. Buianova, Ms. Radionova's skating does look slightly less frantic and more smooth as a whole.
Elizaveta Tuktamysheva
Elizaveta Tuktamysheva's arm choreography are a bit distracting; not sure what Ms. Tuktamysheva is aiming for here--it's all very Mishin. Also, does anyone else feel like the extremely quick tempo of the baleful fiddling at the end of Ms. Tuktamysheva's short program makes Ms. Tuktamysheva's final two spins look very slow? That said, however, Ms. Tuktamysheva's jumps and overall skating look stronger than than they have for the past two years--Ms. Tuktamysheva is clearly aiming for one of the two open Olympic ladies' spots (two, because one of the three spots has clearly been locked down by Ms. Medvedeva since Boston and/or Helsinki, take your pick).
The dudes
Dmitri Aliev
Khachaturian's Masquerade Waltz demands quite a bit more sweep and snap than what Dmitri Aliev is currently providing to really work, but I have little doubt that this talented young man from St. Petersburg has it in him to start channeling his inner Anjelika Krylova,the immortal patron saint of all Masquerade Waltz programs.
Alexander Petrov
What is going on here?! If the judges at the Russian test skates don't order Alexander Petrov to change his bizarre, totally nonsensical short program this season immediately, quality control at the test skates has clearly failed, and failed catastrophically.
Mikhail Kolyada
What is it with Russian skaters mashing together Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 23 with a random tango? Ms. Tuktamysheva did it last season, and now Mikhail Kolyada is taking his turn. Nonetheless, I'm just relieved that Mr. Kolyada isn't skating to yet another super-kitschy piece of music this season.

So we finally get an interview from Evgenia:ReplyDelete
"This is the flight of the soul, and I want to show the purity of its essence.
From the very beginning of this program, I stand with my eyes closed, and people hear the beating of my heart, and then I seem to come out of my body, take a step, as if I see myself from the outside, fear in my eyes and misunderstanding of what is happening.
It is the step of a person's soul from the body during the state of clinical death. It may sound rigidly, but I say this so that people understand the image that I want to show.
In this program, I seem to re-learn this world and the other, which is also luminous, and there is no fear in it.
And at the very end of the performance, I return to my body, and my breath is heard. This is my own breath, we specially recorded it for this composition."

Honestly why do we ever doubt our lord and savior Ilia Averbukh.
Anonymous @ 8:22AMReplyDelete
. . . please tell me that is a translation from the Russian version of The Onion. Please!!
I love both of Aliev's programs and hope very much to see him at Rostelecom, where I'm sure he'll have added the snap! He might be my favorite thing in Russian men since Yagudin. :)ReplyDelete
And that Medvedeva interview is hilarious. Speaking of interviews, I was browsing Japanese sites and saw an interview with Hanyu where he said he originally meant to bring back "Let's Go Crazy", and immediately thought of you. You almost had it all...

Case Summary
Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is the most common mesenchymal tumor of the gastrointestinal tract. Although the standard treatment for GIST is surgery, a complete resection of the tumor is often difficult to achieve in locally advanced GIST. Neoadjuvant imatinib treatment is recently expected to reduce the risk for an extended or multivisceral resection in patients with a giant GIST. We herein report two cases of giant gastric GIST, which were safely resected following neoadjuvant therapy.
Case 1:
A 72-year-old woman was hospitalized with severe abdominal distension. Computed tomography (CT) revealed 27 x 17 cm tumor in the left upper abdominal cavity. The patient was diagnosed with high risk GIST by EUS-FNA. We performed neoadjuvant therapy with imatinib to achieve reduction of operative risk and functional preservation. After 6 months, CT revealed a reduction in the tumor size, and patient underwent partial gastrectomy and partial resection of the diaphragm. Histologically, most of the tumor cells were replaced by hyalinized collagen and viable cells were scattered only around blood vessels.
Case 2:
A 60-year-old man was also diagnosed with giant gastric GIST (14 x 12cm) and involvements of the spleen and the diaphragm were suspected. Therefore Administration of imatinib was initiated as neoadjuvant therapy. Six months after neoadjuvant therapy, abdominal CT revealed a reduction in tumor size. We judged the tumor resectable and performed partial gastrectomy. Histologically, more than half of the tumor cells were replaced by hyalinized collagen and viable cells were scattered only around blood vessels. The Ki-67 labeling index was less than 1% and no mitotic activity was observed. The postoperative courses were uneventful, and both patients were discharged within two weeks.
In both cases, the involvements of other organs were initially suspected. However, the tumors were significantly reduced after the neoadjuvant therapy, and surgery was performed safely. Although the evidence from clinical trials of utility and outcome of neoadjuvant therapy with imatinib is limited, it has a potential to become an important therapeutic option for the treatment of giant GIST.

Ceiling fans serve to cool the air on hot days, create comfortable conditions in the room and ensure the well-being of the people in it. The peculiarity of ceiling fans is that they not only cool the room, but are also part of the interior, decorate the room and create a certain mood among those around. The arrangement of ceiling fans is simple – they have several rotating blades which, when the fan works, capture air, mix it and provide air movement, which creates a feeling of coolness and freshness. We feel the whiff of the wind, which can cool even on the hottest day. Ceiling fans can be used not only in summer, to cool rooms, but also in winter. If you change the direction of the blades, the air will move from the bottom up, the cold air masses mix with the more heated and the temperature in the room gradually level. In the summer, the motion of the blades is directed so that the air moves from top to bottom and blows those present with a light refreshing breeze.
Long before the air conditioning and air purification began, and even before electricity became widely used, people all over the world saw the Hunter ceiling fans as a comfort ride.
Father and Sons John and James Hunter (Hunter) created their first ceiling fan in 1886. The early Hunter fans were water-powered. Later, their models were the first to use electricity. Today, the company Hunter successfully combines the traditions of the 19th century with the technologies of the 21st century and creates ceiling fans of the highest quality, exquisite style and quiet operation.
Since 1886 Hunter Fan Company has provided the quality of its products due to the high qualification of the masters and the application of the latest achievements in the industry. Today, Hunter offers a new and up-to-date collection of ceiling fans that maintains a tradition of superb quality. Fans, air purifiers and air humidifiers from Hunter combine high technologies, all products are made of environmentally friendly materials, have a complete noiseless motor.
Using styles from classics to modern times, Hunter products are designed to look harmonious in modern homes. Hunter Fan uses the best materials to create elegant designs that will add beauty and unique style to any room with exceptional functionality and durability.

WWE News
How John Cena is responsible for the Walk With Elias catchphrase
The first time the WWE Universe heard that WWE stands for "Walk With Elias" plenty of people lost their minds. After all, it is pretty ingenious.
But it turns out that as with so many other great things in WWE, Elias' catchphrase also traces its roots back to John Cena.
"It all started with The Drifter in NXT, so it's all kind of evolved right?" Elias stated on E & C's Pod Of Awesomeness. "The Drifter character was this character, this guy you know I put a guitar on my shoulder and I walked my way from town to town I find my way however I can whether it's hitchhiking, on a bus, walking whatever I gotta do. So it just became this question I would ask 'who wants to walk with The Drifter?' Who wants to be on this journey?"
"And when I got to the main roster Vince said 'let's drop this Drifter stuff, you're gonna be Elias and that's gonna be it.' So walk with Elias was the next question, right? And it just so happens to perfectly work out that WWE and 'walk with Elias' are right in line there. I said it one time, I remember I said it backstage to John Cena. He was going off about the WWE Universe, and the WWE this and that and I say, 'hey John do you know what WWE stands for? It stands for Walk With Elias' and he said, 'my head just exploded in 10 different ways man — that is great!'"
"[Cena] said 'you gotta make a thing outa that' so sure enough the next week or whatever I said it against John I believe in a promo on Christmas Day no less. and it seems that the right away the fans reacted to it. And the next week I'm asking them 'what does WWE stand for?' and they'll fire back."
So there you go. John Cena was instrumental in helping Elias realize how great this idea was. Soon the new meaning of WWE spread like a wildfire. But Elias isn't shy to give credit where credit is due because it was actually his rival who gave him the encouragement to carry on with his new catchy catchphrase.

Der Shmues, the Yiddish conversation group
Join us on Wednesday, March 16 at 6pm in the historic University Club for Der Shmues, a lively new Yiddish conversation circle.
Led by Max Kade Institute for German-American Studies director and German professor Mark Louden and Mayrent Institute founding director Henry Sapoznik the conversation will span all manner of topics to allow the greatest ease and entry for all attendees.
Mark Louden came to his Yiddish as a logical outgrowth of his studies in German and German-American linguistics. His interest in Yiddish came about while at the University of Texas at Austin where he studied with Itzik Gottesman, professor of Yiddish and former editor at the Jewish Daily Forverts.
Henry Sapoznik came from a Yiddish speaking home where his parents, who were Holocaust survivors from the city of Rovne in Volhynia gubernia, kept the language and culture alive on a daily basis.
All ages and abilities are welcome to this free and open event.

One sunlit evening my boys and I trekked up from Allen, Texas to Savannah's Meadow with a few of our wonderful photographer friends and their children to revisit the lavender field, and to get a quick tour of the life-size treehouse. My boys were so excited to get to walk atop the tree and explore a house in the trees!
What surprised me most on this visit was our graceful host Gwen who gave us a wonderful tour of their farm, we met the beautiful Savannah. Savannah's meadow isn't only about the lavender and the treehouse, but there are ducks, a little pond, a canoe, beautiful walking trails, and a trampoline all available to guest who choose to stay at the treehouse. The funnest part for the kids was feeding the ducks and being able to gently hold a duck. I love the look below on our friend's face with her hand reaching out to touch the duck my son is holding - see below!
It was such a wonderful evening with our children out in nature that I wish the light had not left us so soon as to hasten our trek back home.

Hello Beauties!
It's been a little while since I rustled up a First Impressions post, and they are definitely some of my favourite to read! My Socials have been filled with beauty recently; the Beauty Blogger in me has been in make up heaven of late and I am really pleased with the direction my Instagram, reach and blog are headed beauty wise! I'm so lucky to be able to trial all sorts of make up, all sorts of brand – from high end like Nars to lower on the price scale like Make Up Gallery at Poundland! Today, I am giving you my honest First Impressions of Laval Make Up!
I tend to do a hell of a lot of research before I take on a blogging campaign or opportunity and I like to get a good grip on products I will use and endorse! It didn't take me long to see that Laval as a brand are one who love and truly believe in their products; they make a really conscious effort with their formulas and they also do a lot of hard work in their marketing department. They are crazy active on their Socials and they support their bloggers really well! All great so far!
One thing that hits you straight away with Laval is packaging. If you've ever visited my blog before, you'll know that I hold quite a lot of honus on packaging. It is that real important first impression that for me, personally, can be the difference between actually buying something or not!
I am a blogger, after all, so if an item of make up is pretty and packaged well I can potentially get even more content out of it!
Laval's packaging is chic and classy. Not too in your face and not so basic that you worry what you've bought! I love the gold finishes on the lipsticks, the lettering and fonts are clear and the plastic/glass that houses the foundations show clearly the product inside.
Shall we talk price?
You'll be shocked to know that you can pick up certain items of the Laval make up collection for under a fiver!
Yep! By spending less than £5 you can get foundation, lipsticks and mascaras!
Some items you could buy multiples of and not even break a £10 note!
Now that's budget beauty!
The real First Impressions Win or Bin is the actual make up.
When it comes down to it, it may be the most beautiful looking product for that perfect price. But, if it's fit only for a one time regretful use and then straight into the bin, then it's a big waste of money, £5 or no £5.
I am actually buzzing to say that I really like lots of the Laval items I've been sent to trial!
The foundation is my favourite item so far! It's got great coverage with a light and creamy formula that doesn't drown your skin. The coverage is really good, it even goes so far to cover darker circles and blemishes! The fair shade that I received matched my winter skin really well and blended easily!
The lip colours are also very creamy. They take a little more encouragement than their Department store counterparts though. The formula is gentle on drier lips like mine this Snowy season but it doesn't have the lasting power I am used to. Great for a night out with minimal fuss but you will need to pack it in your handbag to reapply throughout!
I always have used powder blushes – with the exception of Nars' amazing Liquid Hot Tin Roof Blush! Powder blushes are so easy for me so I was pleased to receive as many as I did to test out. I was really happy with them all! While my skin is still really fair due to the lack of sunshine (praying for Spring over here!) the pinker of the blushes really suits my face when fully made up. The powder doesn't clump or bobble so you can get a nice even and natural finish using good quality brushes – I use Crown Brushes or Real Techniques!
I'm now about 3 weeks into properly trialling the make up, I know this is a First Impressions post but I have to be thorough to truly review something!
I am starting to swap out items of my everyday make up bag – which is mostly filled with Rimmel items; I can't wait to see if the Laval items will last the sweaty day at work, the dinner out and the date night cocktails!
Stay tuned for the in depth gossip on whether Laval is a Win or for the Bin!

Kids learn numbers a bunch of different ways. For a while, Abby has been counting correctly to 4, and then skipping around after that based on what number she likes saying. "Nine" comes in after four a lot – mostly because she likes pretending she's saying no while counting (Nine is no in German).
I figured it's about time to get her counting "correctly" – or at least being able to do it when she needs to. She likes to play and learn. So I thought this Lego activity would be great.
Here's what we used:
1. Lego Duplos
2. Construction paper with squares/numbers written on it.
Set-up took me all of 3 minutes to write the numbers and boxes on the construction paper. The longest part of the set-up was finding a piece of non-blue, pink, or purple construction paper. The kids really like to use those colors, so I didn't want to use them for "school."
Anyways, I sat Abby down with the activity and gave her these directions, "Place the right amount of Legos in a tower on the right number." We practiced the first time through, then she wanted to do it again, on her own. I made sure to break up the towers from the previous time, then she did it again.
As is a theme when I get an activity together that she likes, she did it A LOT. She really liked breaking up the towers too. She would count backwards from whatever number she had to zero, and then say, "Bye-bye tower, until later alligator."
So that was our lesson for Abby today. It was a great lesson.

Interested in developing your apologetic skills and receiving training from an experienced evangelist?
Check out a special opportunity for Romania here!
What is Romania like?
Romania is the largest country in South-East Europe. It borders Bulgaria in the south, Ukraine & Moldova in the north, Serbia and Hungary in the west and the Black Sea in the east.
What is the present state of the work?
Serving in Romania you can reach medical students from Iran, Iraq, Morocco, India and many other countries! In Romania there are four cities that have a Medical School program where international students can come and study in English. So if you can read this you are at least 50% qualified to join us in Romania in reaching these students, by focusing on International student ministry. The exciting thing is that most of these students come from predominately muslim countries and after studying will return home! How great to be involved in equipping missionaries to go back home and be ambassadors for Christ, in many places that you could never go!
The national IFES movement in Romania, Organizaþia Studenþilor Creºtini Evanghelici din România (OSCER), was recognized by the government in 1999. But OSCER has a longer history of students sharing the gospel with their friends, even during communism.
With the invasion of western culture we found new ways to reach students. In 1997 students in Timisoara organized OSCER's first ski camp. Nowadays several groups run camps and many students come to practise their skiing and study the Bible. Many are not believers.
OSCER has five national staffworkers and 15 people working on a local level. There are 13 groups with 300 students involved. And God is at work! In 2001 a student from Cluj came to a regional camp. There was no Christian group at his university, but he returned with a vision for evangelism and discipleship. Today 70 students meet regularly in Cluj and reach out to their friends with the love of Christ.
Romania also has foreign workers, who help strengthen the work and reach out to both national and international students.
What about accommodation, living costs, courses, jobs?
When you come to work in Romania, the OSCER staff will help you find suitable accommodation.
What special requirements are there for joining InterAction in Romania?
Language - one of the conditions of working in Romania is that you will learn the language
TEFL - it is often useful to have a TEFL certificate if you want to teach English

How can I keep my skin clear?
Our skin needs to be properly looked after from a young age to keep it healthy and prevent ageing. The sooner you take care of your skin the more thankful you'll be when you're older. At our Rush Beauty salons we always have clients coming in asking how to keep their skin clear, so we thought we would bundle our advice into a blog.
1. Cleanse your skin every morning and evening
You jump into the shower every day and wash, so why shouldn't you wash your face every day? Cleansing your skin every morning will get your skin prepped for the day ahead- i.e. the preparation of make-up. Cleansing your skin removes sweat, dirt and other pollutants that your skin naturally collects throughout the day and night. Remember to wash your face with a muslin or face cloth, and use a fresh flannel every day. Cleaning your skin at night is just as important, so this is where you can focus on your problem area's and use your serums. If you have been wearing makeup and SPF during the day then it is so important to wash your face before you go to sleep – remember, don't sleep in your make-up!
2. Establish a skin care routine
Yes, you need to be cleansing your skin twice a day – AM and PM. But investing in your skin care will really help your skin to stay clear, look great and prevent ageing. There are a lot of skin care brands out there so it can be hard to choose what brand to use. At Rush Beauty Croydon we stock Dermaquest products which are great for your skin! Invest in a cleanser, toner, serum, moisturiser and eye cream and you will be on your way to clearer skin.
3. Drink plenty of water
There are many benefits from drinking water, and one of those benefits is improving your skin. Drinking plenty of water can help your skin with moisture levels which it might desperately need, and it also helps flush out toxins which can help clear your skin from any dirt and bacteria!
4. Try to eat clean
Everyone knows from a young age how important it is to eat fruit and vegetables. Fruit and vegetables are filled with antioxidants that help to protect skin from free radicals, which are caused by smoking, sunlight, and pollution. Whatever you eat will show on the skin, so if you eat unhealthily then it will cause breakouts. Eating well and drinking plenty of water will make sure you are on the path to clear skin.
5. Don't smoke
Smoking is not a good habit and comes with a lot of side effects. It doesn't have a good effect on your skin – for example, your skin will not glow. Who doesn't want their skin to glow? Smoking will also increase bags under your eyes and the appearance of wrinkles.
6. Start using an Acid toner in your routine
If you have never heard of Caroline Hirons then you need to get Googling her name instantly! She is the skin care queen, and we love reading her blog. Caroline has educated us all about the importance of using acids in your skin care routine. There are a few types of acid toners – see the list below for descriptions.
Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs)
Is the most commonly used acid, they include Glycolic, Mandelic, Malic, Citric, Tartaric and Lactic.
Glycolic– Can help the production of collagen, increase cell turnover, and even skin tone. Glycolic is the only acid which can make your skin more sensitive to the sun, so make sure to wear an SPF in the daytime! At Rush Beauty Sutton and Windsor, the salons offer a Glycolic Peel. The peel reduces the appearance of fine lines wrinkles and sun damage. It exfoliates the skin and leaves the skin looking smoother and brighter!
Mandelic – Recommended for people that suffer from oily skins. It can help reduce the oily skin without making the skin too dry.
Malic– Is one of the more gentle acids in the AHA category.
Citric– Can reverse signs of photodamage with constant use, will improve over time.
Tartaric– Like Malic, Tartaric is one of the more gentle acids in the AHA category. They both help repair the skin.
Lactic– Gently exfoliates the skin, helps keep skin soft.
Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHAs)
Acts as an exfoliant, increasing the shedding of dead skin cells. Includes Salicylic acid.
Salicylic– Is really good for people who suffer from breakouts. It is oil soluble, so it is able to sink into the skin a lot deeper. We love the Dermaquest pads that include Salicylic acid – they are great for helping with breakouts, find these at Beauty Croydon. Rush Beauty Sutton and Windsor offer an Enerpeel Salicylic peel. It is ideal for acne prone skin, the peel helps to control breakouts and soothe irritated skin.
Polyhydroxy Acid (PHAs)
Promotes cell turnover and the shedding of dead skin cells, includes Gluconolactone, Lactobionic, Maltobionic.
Gluconolactone– Hydrates the skin, protects it from UV damage and reduces redness.
Lactobionic– Good for dehydrated skin, helps prevent signs of ageing and large pores.
Maltobionic– Protects the skin from hyperpigmentation caused by acne and the sun. Can help improve the skin texture and reduce wrinkles.

Sophie Monk Has Been Announced As Australia's Next Bachelorette
Sophie Monk has been announced as the Bachelorette for 2017.
The TV and radio personality, who rose to fame as part of pop group Bardot, will be picking out of 16 suiters on Channel Ten's popular show The Bachelorette later this year.
Sophie is definitely no stranger to having her love life publicised. She has a string of famous ex-boyfriends - including Hollywood actor Sam Worthington, musician Benji Madden and footballer Eric Grothe Junior - and has spoken out more than once about her struggles to find The One.
Of the show, the 37-year-old told SMH, "I moved back to Australia a couple of years ago, and I've embraced life back in the suburbs on the Gold Coast."
"I love having my family nearby, and spending time with my nieces and nephews – but I'm missing that one person to share it with."
Announcing this evening to her strong Instagram following of 166k - a number which is likely to skyrocket overnight - Sophie said, "Omg I'm the new @bacheloretteau. I'm so excited but wetting my pants."
Last year's Bachelorette, Georgia Love, had a successful run and is still with her beau Lee Elliott, while her runner-up, Matty J, is this year's Bachelor.
So far, no air date has been set for Sophie's season of The Bachelorette, but it's safe to say, we're ready and waiting.

Post PAX
Wow, thanks to everyone who made PAX South 2016 an amazing time for the Heroic Games crew. There was a lot of indie love there and our booth was never empty. We had compliments on everything - story, humor, art, music - and especially the unique combat system. People really responded to our theatrical component as well and I feel we will have many more attendees for the show. THANKS EVERYONE!
It was also a huge beta testing opportunity for us. Watching hundreds of people play gave us intense feedback on some UI and input changes we need to make and the final release will be much better thanks to the con.
Heroic Highlights
Here are some amazing moments:
Heroes and Dragons
Mike Laidlaw stopped by, played the game, and gave one on one feedback. Amazing to have a pro like that give so much help to indies. I allowed myself five seconds to nerd out over Dragon Age and take this photo.
Mr. President
Robert Khoo met with me and the city leaders I gathered to ensure San Antonio represents well at PAX South in years to come and makes it the best it can be on all local fronts.
Some great write-ups, too.
Touch Arcade loved the show ideas and called us a REAL GAME. Yeah! Hex grids!!
DVS Gaming liked our fun gameplay. But trying too hard to be funny?! My mom always said I was supposed to try hard. She'll be so sad.
Then again they put us in the top 5 and called us comedy gold! Woo! Thanks guys!
The End?
No, just the beginning! The game is out full in March, the show is in April, and if all goes well we bring Heroes Must Die the game and SHOW to PAX South next year.
We're feeling loved in the Alamo City. Thank you PAX. And thank you to the only fan who beat the entire combat demo. Lord Murder ascends thee.

1460 WBRN Big Rapids MI was heard 0100 at Oct 19. Usually, ESPN-announcements on 1460 are KXNO in 99 of 100 instances. This was the one. New log.
1431 Radio Kidnappers, Hastings-Napier NZL was a surprise log on the excellent Kiwi afternoon on October 24. Barely audible but what would you expect from 2.5 kW over 14,000 km.
1370 KGNO Dodge City KS was an October 3 log. A very brief email was the response.

1210 KOKK Huron SD had an excellent signal on October 24 at 0000Z. Brief email, most welcome. It's been on my wish list for some time.
980 KVLV Fallon NV never made it to my wish list, since I wasn't aware that it existed...I mostly use the KOJE lists for reference and being a true daytimer, never heard before in Europe, it wasn't listed. Lynn Pearce, Chief Operator and co-owner says this is a true family business. They are a 5 kW Country Music station founded in 1957 by Lynn's parents.
KVLV was reportedly heard in Finland at the same time. Maybe elsewhere too. Nevertheless, one of the KONG19 DX-pedition's real highlights. Heard 0000Z on October 25.

Data has value, and like anything of value, it needs to be secure. Data security is more than a pressing issue for customers and leads whose data could be hacked; it's also a concern for the businesses to which they entrust their information. Put your leads at ease and protect your organization from data breaches with these tips for tighter security – no sophisticated IT knowledge required.
Be Aware
According to Symantec, an industry leader in digital security, small and mid-sized businesses experienced a twofold increase in cyber-attacks last year. It's no longer just the big firms that are at risk, nor are security breaches only a concern for consumer sales. B2B businesses are on data thieves' radar too, both as potential data sources themselves and as access points to larger organizations that do business with them. Everyone, including your business, is a potential target, but awareness is the first step toward improving data security.
Work with a Database Manager
On one side of the aisle, you have your IT personnel, the tech wizards who manage the more arcane aspects of the software and hardware you use. On the other, you have marketing and sales teams who need ready access to lead and customer data to do their work well. A database manager is the essential liaison between the two, fusing marketing technology with functionality to create a well-protected but secure database.
Assess Your Risk
While every business is a potential target, some businesses are at greater risk than others. A company that uses state-of-the-art marketing automation technology, regularly performs security updates, and uses data hygiene processes to cleanse the database of obsolete information is in much better shape than one that hasn't yet upgraded to new technology. Your database manager traces how data moves through the system, spotting vulnerabilities and making recommendations to secure data more fully.
Train Your Personnel
The greatest threat to data security is at intersections, the points at which data gets entered into or leaves the database. Endpoint devices, including tablets, laptops, smartphones, and any other digital devices your marketing and sales teams use to access data, are vulnerable to loss or theft. Educating your personnel about how to avoid malware, set strong passwords, and engage firewalls will also help protect customer and prospect data.
Let Leads Know How You Protect Their Data
Some organizations are reluctant to tempt fate by touting the security of their customer data, but it's important to help your leads understand the measures you're taking to ensure their information is safe with you. Posting recognized security certificates and detailing how you store customer data gives leads confidence that you're looking after their information, which in turn encourages them to share it more freely with you.
Prospect and customer data is too valuable to risk, and so is your reputation for handling it responsibly. Working with a professional database manager, upgrading your system, and training your team are necessary steps to reduce risk.

Being in the present moment is extremely important for emotional well-being. Many people tend to live either in the past or in the future. And, due to this reason, they often become anxious. Fear of unknown or anxiety is a negative emotion that is mostly unfounded.
We will discuss how NLP can help you get rid of anxiety in the below mentioned steps.
Step 1: Think about an event that is making you very anxious.
Step 2: Imagine you are standing on an imaginary line with your left hand side indicating your past. The place where you presently are is your current place on Earth or your present. Towards your right is your future.
Step 3: Now imagine you are floating on this line towards the future say about half an hour away from the event that is making you anxious.
Step 4: Stay on this point for some time and ask yourself what exactly you learnt from this episode. After your learning is complete, float further down the timeline and look back the event that was making you anxious.
Step 5: Feel the relief flooding over you after the event is over. Experience the joy and happiness that you were able to successfully overcome the episode without getting hurt.
Step 6: If some anxiety still remains then think about the reasons why the fear is still there and if there is something that has to be done in your present moment to be able to face the future episode confidently.
Step 7: Once this exercise is done, gently float back to your present moment and feel the joy of being in that moment.

Lesson Number 3– The Creep
Ha, I bet you thought I was going to discuss my ex, didn't you? Although, that would make a great stand alone story with intrigue, betrayal, romance (his) and mystery(mine, I played a harmless but absolutely perfect revenge joke on the guy. Oh, you should have been there.) I'm not going to tell that one today, I am going to save that one for a later time, right now we have some other business to discuss.
Lesson number 3.
This creep, is for anyone who has ever wanted to create a new spot to grow vegetables. Your lawn or in my case the forest, will diligently and continuously try to reclaim its kingdom. It becomes a war. Quack grass and ferns will do their damdest to send in special green shoot teams purposely to distract you so they can pop up elsewhere when your back is turned. I like to fight a clean fight, however, without chemicals which means being ever vigilant and create new ways to beat back the sneaky bastards. I bring lesson 3 to the surface here, because I just got off Daisy Luthers web page http://www.theorganicprepper.ca/12-bad-strategies-that-will-get-preppers-killed-04112015 12 bad strategies that will get you killed. I'm here to tell you, bad strategy 7 in her article brought it home, you will need more than just your garden to survive a long winter especially if plan on gardening in the woods. But if after you have read her work and you're still determined to run off to the woods when TSHTF and live off your garden here's some things to file away into your mental library.
Your mileage may vary depending on what part of the country you are digging around into the ground. We have established that creep number 1 is woodland vegetation fighting to keep its' territory. It is a vicious fight year after year but I have found the cheapest and most effective way to keep back this creep is a barrier method. I have used old carpet, old boards, seed catalogs, newspaper, cardboard, sawdust and wood chips. I shy away from using straw or hay that many experts recommend. Straw and hay seeds are never completely removed before being bailed and when you spread out the hay or straw to keep back the quack grass it sprouts when it rains creating other problems and more work. Whatever it is that you end up using I can almost guarantee, however, quack grass will find a way to poke through in about 2 years and your barrier will need cleaning up or replacing.
Creep number 2– The next battalion of this crusade you will face is the rocks and boulder brigade. They too fight though stealth and sneak up from underground. Surface rocks are the pawns and are sacrificed to you, so you will let down your guard. Their game plan is to damage plow blades or rototillers, twisting the tines into knots. The boulders will let you think you have won this years battle with those rocks but if you live where frost develops deep into the soil during winter months, rocks and boulders work their way to the surface of your precious garden space. You will be fighting a good fight for several years before you are able to call victory. We started a new garden plot last year and were so proud of the way it looked. This year we had to dig about 30, 20 pound and larger rocks from our new 100′ X 50′ garden space. This battle is a time sink and uses up a lot of your physical energy to get out them of the way. We expect another fight with creeping boulders again next year, this war isn't over until the old fat lady jumps for joy.
Creep number 3–critters! are the most damaging and will tear your heart out. A
quick critter story; The first year I moved to my forested wilderness I wasn't able to have a garden. It took most of the summer to clear away the trees, shrubs, ferns and other debris. I remember trying to extricate the extensive roots system of each individual plant, tree or shrub that anchors itself to the earth. Trees are especially vigilant and combative, establishing a theater of battle with tree roots is quite exhaustive. The second year we cleared just enough garden space to put in some vegetables that didn't mind rough growing conditions. A few weeks into the summer growing season, it was early evening and I was sitting on the deck with a cup of tea after a long hard day. The sun began its evening descent behind the trees, I felt a bit smug with out smarting the environment, creating this work of art. The next morning the sun was bright and the day seemed warm already this early. I poured myself a cup of coffee and strolled out on to the deck. Suddenly there! To my utter horror was 3 deer finishing off the last of my beautiful green vegetable plants. They had flattened even the rose-bush that stood by the corner of the house. The rose-bush of all things! We only get one shot at gardening here in my neck of the woods per season and they killed my shot. No fresh veggies this year. I was devastated to say the least, I cried.
The next spring; I dropped some cash on fencing material to keep those nasty four-legged furry thieves out of my garden. I declared war on critters. My battle cry was; "It's my garden, damn it!" Trust me when I say, critters have a battle cry of their own. Mother nature has taught them well. Shortly after putting up the fences and getting the garden in, I felt safe from mid-night marauders. Psssff, I was just too cocky. During the early evening hours this time the destructor was a sizable bear cub. He took a menacing dislike to one of my fence posts in particular, rubbing his back on it and then climbing to the top of it. The poor post surrendered under the furry beasts weight and broke off at the ground. I repaired, he came back to break it off again. Three nights in a row we played this game. Finally, he tired or became bored with the fence post destruction he moved over to the bird feeder. The feeder was just too high off the ground so the brat climbed the very small maple tree that held the feeder up high, bent it over and snapped it off, thus laying the bird feeder and all the sunflower seeds on the ground. He cleaned up the seeds and not finding anything else to his liking became bored and left. Oh by the way, bears hate outhouses. They think humans sink and will knock over small outhouses as a show of dominance.
Then there was the year of the raccoons decimating the corn patch and the year birds ate all the pea seeds I planted early. And of course, the year of the potato bug infestation and grasshoppers galore. This kind of creep is unpredictable and uncontrollable. Be prepared to go hungry, if gardening is your only plan.
Creep number 3– Climate change.
Depending on the microclimate of the place in which you plan to garden, the weather plays a very important role in your garden production. In Michigans' Upper Peninsula we have 3 different microclimates. I happen to live in the banana belt of the north country. We get a tad bit better weather here than the rest of the U.P., but don't let that fool you. We have had a tornado, hail, wind shear, frost in July and 5 feet of snow in one winter. All these make gardening most interesting. That is change you most definitely can believe in. "If you don't like the weather here, wait a few minutes it will change," is the Michigan motto. So now you see why number 7 of Daisy Luthers post hit me like it did. I have gardened in this spot now for better than 20 years. It is hard, back-breaking work establishing a garden. For anyone who thinks they can go out to the woods and put in a plot in an acid, dry woodland soil had better think waaaay ahead, before the SHTF.
