text:
In many Christian churches, Palm Sunday is marked by the distribution of palm leaves (often tied into crosses) to the assembled worshipers. The difficulty of procuring palms for that day's ceremonies in unfavorable climates for palms led to the substitution of boughs of box, yew, willow or other native trees. The Sunday was often designated by the names of these trees, as Yew Sunday or by the general term Branch Sunday.
According to the Gospels, before entering Jerusalem, Jesus was staying at Bethany and Bethphage, and the Gospel of John adds that he had dinner with Lazarus, and his sisters Mary and Martha. While there, Jesus is described by the Synoptic Gospels as sending two unnamed disciples to the village over against them, in order to retrieve a donkey that had been tied up but never been ridden, and to say, if questioned, that the donkey was needed by the Lord but would be returned in a short period of time. Jesus then rode the donkey into Jerusalem, with the Synoptics adding that the disciples had first put their cloaks on it, so as to make it more comfortable. The Gospels go on to describe how Jesus rode into Jerusalem, and how the people there lay down their cloaks in front of him, and also lay down small branches of trees. The people are also described as singing part of Psalm 118 - ...Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord. Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father, David. ... (Psalms 118:25-26). Where this entry is supposed to have taken place is unspecified; some scholars argue that the Golden Gate is the likely location, since that was where it was believed the Jewish messiah would enter Jerusalem; other scholars think that an entrance to the south, which had stairs leading directly to the Temple, would be more likely (Kilgallen 210). According to Jewish tradition the one who is able to bridle and ride a colt (or donkey) has a status of Messiah.
It is a common custom in many lands in the ancient Near East to cover, in some way, the path of someone thought worthy of the highest honour. The Hebrew Bible (2Kings 9:13) reports that Jehu, son of Jehoshaphat, was treated this way. Both the Synoptic Gospels and the Gospel of John report that people gave Jesus this form of honour. However, in the synoptics they are only reported as laying their garments and cut rushes on the street, whereas John more specifically mentions palm fronds. The palm branch was a symbol of triumph and of victory, in Jewish tradition, and is treated in other parts of the Bible as such (e.g. Leviticus 23:40 and Revelation 7:9). Because of this, the scene of the crowd greeting Jesus by waving palms and carpeting his path with them has given the Christian festival its name. It also shows the freedom wanted by the Jews, and their desperation to have political freedom. Some argued at this point that most Jews do not recognize Jesus as a messiah, as the song that the people are described as singing, Psalm 118, happens to be the benediction song for the Feast of Tabernacles. They even came as far as saying that the Triumphal Entry must have happened in autumn, during the Sukkot feast (Sukkot is the Feast of Tabernacles). So, we have to state that the sacred scenario of the Triumphal Entry, including chants from Psalm 118 and palm branches, is, in fact, a huge Messianic development. It is true that Psalm 118 and palm branches are used during the Sukkot ritual, but the Sukkot itself has Messianic meanings. These meanings become clear during the 7th day of the feast, called Hoshanah Rabbah (The Great Prayer). So, it is due to such Messianic meanings that Jewish crowds met Jesus chanting the praises of Messiah by verses from Psalm 118: baruk haba' b'shem Yehwah (Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD; verse 26) and 'anna' Yehwah, hoshiiah na' (Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD; verse 25). It is well-known that the Hebrew hoshiiah na' (I beseech you, save now) was changed in Greek to hosanna, which became a famous Christian term.
But we must add that verses from Psalm 118 were not the only words reported by the Evangels. We can find, by example, in Matthew 21:9 the syntagma hosanna en tois hypsistois (Hosanna in the highest), which combines the hoshiiah na' of Psalm 118 with the en tois hypsistois of Psalm 148:1 from the Septuagint. We can find references to the Son of David. Everything was used to emphasize the Messianic marks of the day and the strong appeal for the intervention of God.
The next Section, Prophetic Interpretations, will give more details about the Messianic symbolism of this event. But we must bear in mind that Jesus has premeditated every step of the Messianic scenario involved here. This is why He resurrects Lazarus in the view of crowds, this is why He enters Jerusalem coming from the Mount of Olives.
Prophetic Interpretations
Christians often interpret a passage from the Zechariah as a prophecy which was fulfilled by the Triumphal Entry:
Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion!
Shout, Daughter of Jerusalem!
See, your king comes to you,
righteous and having salvation,
gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
I will take away the chariots from Ephraim
and the war-horses from Jerusalem,
and the battle bow will be broken.
He will proclaim peace to the nations.
His rule will extend from sea to sea
and from the River to the ends of the earth.
Matthew quotes this passage from Zechariah when narrating the story of Jesus' entry to Jerusalem. His interpreting of the repetition in the Hebrew poetry as describing two different donkeys: gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey, is offered by some Biblical scholars as a reason for Matthew's unique description of Jesus riding both a donkey and its foal. However, there is an alternate explanation. The full text in Matthew regarding this issue is as follows:
"And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples, 2 Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me. 3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them. 4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, 5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass. 6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them, 7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon." (Matthew 21:1-7 KJV)
The Septuagint, in Zechariah9:9 says: "Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Sion; proclaim it aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem; behold, the King is coming to thee, just, and a Saviour; he is meek and riding on an ass, and a young foal." (Brenton) The wording is slightly different from the Hebrew text but one can reasonably interpret from the text that the Messiah, Jesus, will be riding on one of the animals, presumably the ass, or donkey, and that its colt, or foal, will be following behind its mother. To imagine that Jesus would be riding on both simultaneously would indeed present a strange image to mind. Hilary of Poitiers, in one of his sermons on this chapter of Matthew, is of the view that two animals, the ass and its colt, were brought to Jesus and, presumably, those animals were not separated when he rode into Jerusalem: "Two disciples are sent to the village to loosen the ass tied up with its colt and to bring them to him. And should someone ask them why they are doing that, they are to respond that the Lord needs the animals, which must be released to him without delay. From the previous sermons we remember that the two sons of Zebedee symbolize the double vocation of Israel. Therefore, now it is fitting to interpret the two disciples sent to release the ass and the colt as the subsequent double vocation of the Gentiles. It applies first of all to the Samaritans, who abandoned the law after their dissent and lived in a state of dependence and servitude. Yet it also applies to the rebellious and ferocious Gentiles. Therefore the two disciples are sent to loosen those who were bound and arrested by the bonds of error and ignorance."
A widespread Jewish belief states that the Mount of Olives would see the coming of the Messiah (see Josephus, Flavius, Bellum Judaicum, 11,13,5 and Antiquitates Judaicae, XX,8,6). This belief is based upon Zechariah 14:3-4:
Then shall the Lord go forth and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle./ And his feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east [...]
The triumphal entry and the palm branches, recall the celebration of Jewish liberation in 1 Maccabees 13:51:
On the twenty-third day of the second month, in the one hundred and seventy-first year, the Jews [led by Simon Maccabeus] entered it [the fortress of Jerusalem] with praise and palm branches and with harps and cymbals and stringed instruments and with hymns and songs, because a great enemy had been crushed and removed from Israel.
The great enemy in Jesus days on earth was the Roman army; and one can imagine that many Jews saw the Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem as the advent of a revengeful Messiah who will wipe out the Romans from Holy Land.
But, then, there is the problem of the donkey. The Babylonian Talmud preserves a question asked by the Persian king Shevor: Why doesn't your Messiah come riding on a horse? If he lacks one, I'll be glad to provide him with one of my best! (Sanhedrin 98a). Indeed, why should the Messiah come on a donkey? The answer stays in the symbolism of the donkey, which in some Eastern traditions seems to be seen as an animal of peace, versus the horse, which is the animal of war. Therefore, it was said that a king came riding upon a horse when he was bent on war and rode upon a donkey when he wanted to point out that he was coming in peace. Thus, the king riding on a colt, the foal of a donkey complies with the epithet gentle or lowly (Hebrew anî - poor, afflicted) and strongly implies the message of peace. This message of peace was always fundamental with Jesus, but it is not clear how well understood was it in those days. In fact, John declares: These things understood not His disciples at the first (12:16). It is highly probable that the public enthusiasm of the day saw the Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem more like a declaration of war against Israel's enemies than a message of peace.
In the book Sanhedrin from the Babylonian Gemara it is written that the Messiah will appear as a poor man on a donkey only if the Jews are not found deserving of the salvation. Otherwise, the Messiah will ride on a horse. Since all humans are sinners, including Jews, it is obvious that the Messiah will always ride on a donkey. However, this is a Christian belief and not supported in Judaism (Jews, for example, do not believe in original sin).

On the tenth of Nisan, according to the Mosaic Law, the lambs to be slaughtered at Passover were chosen. Because of the link of this to the Triumphal Entry, some new interpretations report that the event was not even on Sunday, because Nisan 10 would not be a Sunday if the Crucifixion occurred on Friday the fourteenth. This day in the year of the Passion saw Messiah presented as the sacrificial Lamb. It heralded his impending role as the Suffering Servant of Israel (Isaiah 53, Zechariah 12:10).
The first day of any Old Testament feast was always considered a Sabbath regardless of what day it fell on. The Feast of Unleavened Bread always begins on Nisan the 15th. Passover was celebrated the Evening before. If Nisan the 15th was a Saturday, then Preparation Day (Matthew 27:62) was Friday the 14th, or Good Friday. In any event, that would mean that the events of Palm Sunday actually occurred on Monday, being five days before (John 12:1-12).
If Nisan the 15th was a Friday, however, then Jesus was actually crucified on Thursday, Preparation Day, with Friday being a special Sabbath, a high holy day (John 19:31), and the events of Palm Sunday would be Nisan the 10th, late in the day, (Mark 11:11). Thus the days later that week would be Thursday, Preparation Day, Friday a special Sabbath followed by Saturday a regular Sabbath.
So if there is a relationship between the triumphal entry and the selection of the Pascal lamb on the tenth either Jesus was crucified on Thursday or the events of Palm Sunday happened on Monday. One final option is that Jesus was crucified on Friday the 15th of Nisan. See the article on the Chronology of Jesus for more details.
Observance in the liturgy
Western Christianity
On Palm Sunday, in the Roman Catholic Church, as well as many Anglican churches, palm fronds (or in colder climates some kind of substitutes) are blessed with an aspergilium outside the church building (or in cold climates in the narthex when Easter falls early in the year) and a procession enters, singing, re-enacting the entry into Jerusalem. In most Lutheran churches and in many other Protestant churches, a similar practice is followed without the aspergilium.
The procession may include the normal liturgical procession of clergy and acolytes, the parish choir, the children of the parish or indeed the entire congregation as in the churches of the East. In Oriental Orthodox churches palm fronds are distributed at the front of the church at the sanctuary steps, in India the sanctuary itself having been strewn with marigolds, and the congregation processes through and outside the church. In some Lutheran churches, children are given palms, and then walk in procession around the inside of the church while the adults remain seated.
The palms are saved in many churches to be burned the following year as the source of ashes used in Ash Wednesday services. The Roman Catholic Church considers the palms to be sacramentals. The vestments for the day are deep scarlet red, the color of blood, indicating the supreme redemptive sacrifice Christ was entering the city who welcomed him to fulfill- his Passion and Resurrection in Jerusalem.
In the Episcopal and many other Anglican churches, the day is nowadays officially called The Sunday of the Passion: Palm Sunday; however, in practice it is usually termed "Palm Sunday" as in the historic Book of Common Prayer, by way of avoiding undue confusing with the penultimate Sunday of Lent in the traditional calendar, which was "Passion Sunday."
In the Church of Pakistan (a member of the Anglican Communion), on Palm Sunday the faithful carry palm branches into the church, as they sing Psalm 24.
Eastern and Oriental Christianity
In the Eastern Orthodox Church Palm Sunday is often called the Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem, it is one of the Twelve Great Feasts of the liturgical year, and is the beginning of Holy Week. The day before is known as Lazarus Saturday, and commemorates the resurrection of Lazarus from the dead. Unlike the West, Palm Sunday is not considered to be a part of Lent, the Eastern Orthodox Great Fast ends on the Friday before. Lazarus Saturday, Palm Sunday and Holy Week are considered to be a separate fasting period. On Lazarus Saturday believers often prepare palm fronds by knotting them into crosses in preparation for the procession on Sunday. The hangings and vestments in the church are changed to a festive color—in the Slavic tradition this is often green.
The Troparion of the Feast indicates that the resurrection of Lazarus is a prefiguration of Jesus' own Resurrection:
- O Christ our God
- When Thou didst raise Lazarus from the dead before Thy Passion,
- Thou didst confirm the resurrection of the universe.
- Wherefore, we like children,
- carry the banner of triumph and victory,
- and we cry to Thee, O Conqueror of Death,
- Hosanna in the highest!
- Blessed is He that cometh
- in the Name of the Lord.
In the Russian Orthodox Church, Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Ukrainian Catholic Church, and Ruthenian Catholic Church, the custom developed of using pussy willow instead of palm fronds because the latter are not readily available that far north. There is no canonical requirement as to what kind of branches must be used, so some Orthodox believers use olive branches. Whatever the kind, these branches are blessed and distributed together with candles either during the All-Night Vigil on the Eve of the Feast (Saturday night), or before the Divine Liturgy on Sunday morning. The Great Entrance of the Divine Liturgy commemorates the "Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem", and so the meaningfulness of this moment is punctuated on Palm Sunday as everyone stands holding their branches and lit candles. The faithful take these branches and candles home with them after the service, and keep them in their icon corner as an evloghia (blesing).
In Tsarist Russia, there was a formal procession into Moscow on Palm Sunday. The Tsar, himself on foot to show humility, would lead the Patriarch of Moscow, who was seated on a donkey, into the city. The procession would end at the Lobnoe Miesto, a circular stone platform on the east side of Red Square used for public proclamations and executions, upon which a Calvary had been erected. This annual procession continued until 1694, when it was discontinued by Peter I, as a part of his suppression of the church. There is a famous painting of this procession by Vyacheslav Shvarts (1868), which can be seen here, and a drawing in the Mayerberg Album (1661) can be seen here. An embroidery which may depict the scene from 1498, together with a description of its political importance, can be found here.
It is customary in many churches for the worshippers to receive fresh palm leaves on Palm Sunday. In parts of the world where this has historically been impractical substitute traditions have arisen.
In Latvia, Palm Sunday is called "Pussy Willow Sunday," and pussy willows - symbolizing new life - and blessed and distributed to the faithful [1]. Children are often woken that morning with ritualistic swats of a willow branch. People also catch each other and spank each other with the branches [2].
In the South Indian state of Kerala, (and in Indian Orthodox congregations elsewhere in India and throughout the West) flowers are strewn about into the sanctuary on Palm Sunday during the reading of the Gospel at the words uttered by the crowd welcoming Jesus, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who is come and is to come in the name of the Lord God." These words are read to the congregation thrice. The congregation then repeats, "Hosanna!" and theflowers are scattered. This echoes pre-Christian Hindu celebrations in which flowers are strewn on festive occasions; however this also echoes the honour shown to Jesus upon his entry into Jerusalem. Indian Orthodoxy traces its roots to the arrival in India of St. Thomas the Apostle in AD 54 (according to tradition) and his evangelism among both the Brahmans of the Malabar Coast and the ancient Jewish community there. Its rites and ceremonies are both Hindu and Jewish as well as Levantine Christian in origin. Spain
In Elx, Spain, the location of the biggest palm grove in Europe, there is a tradition of tying and covering palm leaves to whiten them away from sunlight and then drying and braiding them in elaborate shapes.
A Spanish rhyming proverb states: Domingo de Ramos, quien no estrena algo, se le caen las manos ("On Palm Sunday, the hands drop off of those who fail to wear something new").
All the parishes of Malta and Gozo on Palm Sunday (in Maltese Ħadd il-Palm) bless the palm leaves and the olive leaves. Those parishes that have the statues of Good Friday bless the olive tree that they put on the statues of Jesus prays in the Olive Garden (Ġesù fl-Ort) and the Betrayal of Judas (il-Bewsa ta' Ġuda). Also many people take a small branch of olive to their home because say that the blessed olive branch keeps away disease and the evil eye (l-għajn ħażina or is-seħta).
In the Saxon regions of the Netherlands, crosses are decorated with candy and bread, made in the form of a rooster. In the diocese of Groningen-Leeuwarden a great procession with oil lamps is held the night before Palm Sunday in honour of the Sorrowful Mother of Warfhuizen.
Many Polish towns and villages (the best known are Lipnica Murowana in Małopolska and Łyse in Podlasie) organize artificial palm competitions. The biggest of those reach above 30 meters in length; for example, the highest palm in 2008 had 33.39 meters.
In Bulgaria Palm Sunday is known as Tsvetnitsa. People with flower-related names, (for example Tzviatko, Margarita, Lilia, Violeta, Yavor, Zdravko, Zjumbjul, Nevena, Temenuzhka, etc.) celebrate this day as their name day.
The Philippines
In the Philippines, there are some places where a re-enactment of Jesus' triumphal entry occurs. The priest rides a horse and is surrounded by the congregation, bearing palms. Sometimes women spread large cloths or aprons along the procession route. Palm branches, called palaspas, are taken home after the Mass and are hung beside, on or above doorways and windows.

Frequently Asked Questions
Before You Buy
You may have heard of USB video adapters, and have been wondering what they are, and whether or not they will work in your setup.
USB video adapters are devices that take one USB port and go to one or many video connections, such as VGA, DVI, HDMI or DisplayPort. This is useful if you would like to add an additional display to your computer setup, but are out of video connections on your computer.
USB video adapters allow you to mirror or duplicate your display, so the same windows are shown on all of your displays, or extend your desktop, so that you can have different windows on each display.
So what do you need to know before you purchase a USB video adapter?
- USB video adapters require the computer to have a free USB port.
- Check which video connections your display has, and select the appropriate USB video adapter.
- Ensure that the USB video adapter is compatible with your operating system.
- USB video adapters require your video card to be able to handle an additional display. This is because USB video adapters work with your onboard or dedicated video card to drive additional displays. For this reason you are advised to confirm this with your video card manufacturer.
- Consider what you will be doing on the additional display. If you are looking to perform less graphically intensive activities like using Microsoft Office, email, or basic web surfing, you can use any USB video adapter. If you are looking to perform more graphically intensive activities like high end photo or video editing, you want a USB video adapter with dedicated memory.
There are a few other important things to note:
- When using multiple USB video adapters on the same computer, they need to use the same chipset family. For example, MCT/Trigger, DisplayLink or Fresco. Note: How many adapters you can use depends on the SKU.
- You may not be able to use a USB video adapter with an All-In-One computer. These computers are almost always hardwired to only accept a single display.
- You may not be able to use a USB video adapter with a touchscreen computer or display. A mixture of touchscreen and non-touchscreen devices can conflict with the video card.
- You should not use a USB video adapter to play video games. They are not designed for use with video games, and their performance with them is poor at best.

We have developed a strategy to focus on those important issues, closest to home, that have your business as the primary beneficiary of any advocacy we conduct regarding business growth and operations at all levels of public policy.
We are committed to participating in the development of local and regional economic strategies and we advocate for increased investment and development of our business community.
The Stouffville Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, organized and met with Mayor Altmann in May as part of the annual update of the Mayor's vision for development in Whitchurch-Stouffville.
The primary purpose of the meeting was to gain a better understanding of the Mayor's objectives for the Township of Whitchurch-Stouffville and to establish what role the Chamber can play in assisting in the economic development and promotion of Stouffville, as a great place in which to do business.

The core of Cleveland State Bank's value statement is to "Make a difference in someone's life."
Recent additions to the CSB staff effortlessly live this statement and are eager to work with area businesses in the community who share the same values.
Cari Sabel and Brad Dassler are CSB's "Lending Tag Team." Their ultimate goal is to promote financial growth for area businesses, on both a commercial and personal level, while sustaining the growth of Cleveland State Bank. Cari and Brad both bring to the team an essence of pride for the community and respect for the people they serve.
About the "Lending Tag Team"
Lending and finances have been Cari's focus for over 30 years throughout the surrounding counties and continues to be her focus as part of the Agriculture & Business Services team at Cleveland State Bank. She currently serves on the Ag Advisory Committee for Fox Valley Technical College and is an active member of the Chilton FFA Alumni. Her involvement in the community, and the relationship she has with the people in the community, is a vital quality for which she continually strives. Cari resides in Calumet County with her husband Gerald and has four grown daughters.
Brad grew up with small community values that convey in his position as a consumer and mortgage lender. Growing up and working with his father at the family business in Cleveland provided him the opportunity to create a connection to the village and the people who reside there. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh in 2008 with a bachelor's degree in finance, he decided to return to his roots and create a home in Cleveland with his wife, Anna. To further his lending knowledge, Brad is continuing his education with Wisconsin Banker's Association.

Although Cari's expertise is distinctly developed in the agricultural lending field, she has experience working with businesses of all types—production agriculture as well as small business. She thrives to understand your specific operation and find the best solution to allow you to be successful and prosperous. The definitive goal is minimizing interest rate risk coupled with appropriate loan structuring to allow for positive cash flow and proper balance sheet growth. One of Cari's many resources include her working knowledge of the USDA-FSA direct and guarantee loan program.
Brad will review your options so your personal finance needs match your business needs. He will walk you through the pre-qualification process and review your lending portfolio in order to obtain a long-term, fixed-rate loan, to diversify your risks as the market changes. There are many loan options available for your specific needs including bridge and construction loans.
For more than 100 years, Cleveland State Bank has been providing financial solutions for the neighboring communities. Cleveland State Bank has two convenient locations, Cleveland and Howards Grove; however, for even more convenience, CSB's "Lending Tag Team" has no geographic boundaries and will travel directly to you.
Cari and Brad are proud to be part of Cleveland State Bank's history and look forward to continuing Cleveland State Bank's tradition to "Make a difference in someone's life" by fulfilling the client's financial needs with their best interest in mind.

Detectives have released a computer-generated image of a man they are hunting for the attempted robbery of a 15-year-old boy in the Lutterworth area.
The image of the suspect was released last Wednesday afternoon, although the crime happened 39 days earlier.
The worrying incident took place at about 11.30pm on Saturday, February 21, when the teenage victim was walking home along Croft Way, in Broughton Astley.
He was approached by a man in a silver BMW 3 Series coupé.
The driver got out of the vehicle and asked the teenager for directions, before trying to steal his bag.
But the victim was able to repel the man and the suspect drove off empty-handed in the direction of Dunton Bassett.
The man's grabbing motion towards the victim's bag left a minor graze on the teenager's abdomen.
Police are treating it as an attempted robbery.
Detective Constable 1410 Andrew Day, who is investigating the incident, said: "Since the incident was reported to us we have been carrying out extensive enquiries to identify the vehicle and the suspect.
"We have carried out house-to-house enquiries and relevant CCTV footage has been viewed, but no significant leads have been identified.
"Subsequently, the victim has been able to assist us in putting together a computer-generated image of the suspect and we'd like to speak to anyone who may recognise the man.
"We would also like to speak to anyone who saw a silver, two-door BMW 3 Series in the area on Saturday, February 21.
"It's been described as a coupé and may be a 1999-2005 model, it had tinted rear windows and thin, spiked design alloy wheels.
"If you recognise the vehicle or can help with our enquiries then please get in touch."
Police have been criticised in recent months over delays in making its witness appeals.
Explaining the delay, a spokeswoman for the police said: "We have been carrying out extensive enquiries to identify the vehicle and suspect but no significant leads have been identified.
"Subsequently we've been able to work with the victim who has been able to assist us in putting together a computer-generated image of the suspect. This can only be done at a time convenient to the victim."
Anyone with information is being urged to call the police 101 number or Crimestoppers, which is free and anonymous, on 0800 555 111.

That's what I saw from Ellen. She sent me the word
and then, for what seemed like an eternity all I saw was this
For those of you who have an Iphone, you already know that those floating ellipses mean a text is in progress. It means the person you are texting with is in the process of typing something. Is she typing what I think she is typing??!? Did she do it?!? Did she test?!? Why won't she finish typing already????
Do I ask her if she tested??? What if it has nothing to do with testing at all?!? Surely it must. Finally I couldn't wait anymore so I typed this.
And then finally

Having to sell lambs in full wool is the latest in a series of difficult decisions being made by Eulo graziers Mac and Mary Haig.
The couple live in a part of the Paroo shire that's seen barely a drop of rain since 2013.
In Mary's words, they are experiencing "a drought like no other" at Alroy.
"Other droughts have gone on longer but this has been worse – we've had nowhere to go," she said.
They'd normally run 3500 sheep and 600 cows but are now down to 90 cows, 1400 ewes and 900 wethers.
Mac's father bought the 22,660ha property in 1930, when he was 16, and Mac said drought had been part of life since then, but the short reprieve between dry spells this time is making things so much more difficult.
"I'm not sure what's going to happen," he said. "Everyone's selling their weaners, and we're going to end up with paddocks of old cows or full mouth ewes."
Their situation was compounded recently when Mac was injured in a motorbike accident chasing a wild dog.
The dog took the front wheel out from under the bike, sending Mac crashing down with a handlebar crushing his ribs and causing extensive external injuries.
He somehow managed to get back on and ride 19km to neighbours who offered life-saving first aid until an ambulance could arrive.
He was airlifted to Toowoomba where it was discovered that the main artery in his spleen was bleeding.
After a month in hospital he was released on light duties, but it still hasn't rained at home and now Mac is suffering from arthritis-like symptoms.
"It affects my knees and ankles. The worst thing is getting down to fix a pipe or something and then trying to get back up again.
"I've really only got Mary to help. People were fantastic over shearing but they can't stay – they have their own animals to look after at home."
Mac is philosophical about their circumstances, saying it's all part of life in the bush, but he'd love to see drought relief assistance extended to higher freight rebate caps.
"We got a fair bit of lick out and we've reached our limit," he said. "We've been feeding stock for over two years and that's a fair cost."
Mary says it's ironic that some people complain about living in the bush when all she and Mac want to do is stay there.
"Our region and no doubt all parts of rural Australia are covered with empty homesteads where families once thrived and were always there to call upon for a hand or just to share a cuppa.
"Mac's been at Eulo all his life, and we'd like to stay and retire here. We just want nothing more than to be here."

Lemon Potatoes
Creamy and bright, these Greek-inspired potatoes deserve wider play in American kitchens.
Why This Recipe Works
To create the tasty cross between home fries and roasted potatoes that is Lemon Potatoes, we started with waxy red baby potatoes—they held their shape better than other varieties we tested. We turned to a classic French fry prep technique to prevent burning—rinsing the raw potatoes to wash off the starch.
To build layers of flavor in our Lemon Potatoes, we skillet-simmered the potatoes in a mixture of chicken broth, lemon juice, lemon zest, and a few garlic cloves until tender and then uncovered the pan to let the liquid evaporate. Once the pan was dry, we discarded the garlic and added a little oil to brown the potatoes.

The Art of Repetition
When I think of the things I do on a daily basis I notice that, actually, I do pretty much the same thing every. single. day.
I wake up, fall asleep, wake up again. Half an hour of sitting up in bed wondering why on Earth I should get out from under the duvet then I manage to do so. Get dressed, check Facebook, Hotmail x3, WordPress, Youtube. Later I'll probably play Fable on the XBox, watch Bleach then play some Facebook games. This will cycle until the end of the day. All the while I'm wondering if I can be bothered to eat and, if I can be bothered, wondering whether the kitchen is free. I have issues. Some days I'll text M24, others I'll chat to me Mam. But my day always ends shifting all my crap from the bed to my armchair, flipping all my pillows over, and cocooning myself into my duvet ready to do it all again tomorrow.
So honestly my entire week is just the same day over again.
I could easily change the things I do to make each day different. I could go outside instead of playing the XBox. I could turn off the internet and read a book. I could get an early morning, do some exercise and get an early night. Yeah, right, that last one was pushing it a bit.
But there are some things that I can't change no matter how hard I tried.
The first is the amount of time it takes me to wake up in the morning. If I wake up and get out of bed instantly, I am incredibly disorientated. I could be walking around for twenty minutes doing things without realising I've done them. I need to wake up and go back to sleep, if only for a couple of minutes, so my body can get used to the idea of daylight. And then when I do wake up I have to sit in bed for up to half an hour grumbling. It takes that long for my brain to wake up. I need to adjust to the idea of actual movement. I'll integrate myself to the coldness of my room in degrees and eventually, I'll come to the natural conclusion that I should get up. I can't force myself to leave my bed until that moment comes or I'll not function right for a while afterwards.
It's a weird wake-up ritual.
But I have another, weirder, ritual for going to sleep. It's like OCD. I cannot go to sleep until I've turned every one of my pillows over. Even if I've turned them over earlier in the day, it's just not right unless I do it before I go to sleep. I once tried to go to sleep without flipping them over. I couldn't sleep. I tried for an hour and nothing. On realising I hadn't turned my pillows, I did so, lay back down, and I fell asleep almost instantly. I don't know why, but I just have to.
Of all the things I repeat in the day, I don't think I have a favourite, as the Daily Prompt asks. I just go about my day and happen to do the same things. I guess if I had to pick one task during the day that I repeat the next day, and the next, and enjoy repeating it would be texting M24. He has a habit sometimes of not responding to a text mid-conversation and sometimes won't text in a few days. Not that I want to hound him with my texts or that I have separation issues if he doesn't respond. but it is nice to get to speak to him every day. I mean, why would I not like him talking to me?
It's a little creepy thinking about how I could lay the action of my days over each other and they would map almost perfectly. Like those contour maps that you overlay with another to find similarities. My life would match perfectly. Perhaps this is a sign to shake things up a bit. Well, last Saturday I was most definitely not in Newquay with M24 so perhaps I should make sure that goes ahead. At least that way one day will be different.

For what feels like weeks, we'veall been sitting here uneasily awaiting the large-scale announcement, andKim Kardashian was eventually given us an answer.
That's right, we now know what North West referred her brand-new puppy!
What? Did you think she addressed those surrogacy reports? I'm sorry I got your hopes up, but this puppyinformation is severely juicy, too.
For her fourth birthday, North West received a puppy( her cousin Penelope Disick, who is about to turn5, too got one ), and appointing the little fur ball was quite the process.
Kim K inaugurated tweetingabout the naming process last week, stating North wanted to name her Mercy.
This caused quite the Twitter reaction, as Kim K used to have a cat referred Mercy.
Then, the 36 -year-old mom decided to poll Twitter for an answer.
In the meantime, Penelope travelled ahead and appointed her puppy Honey.
Well now, eventually, North has caught up to her older cousin and opt a name for her sister pup and it's not what Twitter chose. Drumroll please
The dog's brand-new mention is Sushi!
Unfortunately, Twitter isn't extremely stimulated with that choice.
( What? Did you think Twitter wasn't going to have a strong sentiment about a 4-year-old's alternative of mention for a hound ?)
Some parties are simply mad the voting rights didn't aim anything.
Others are super riled their choice didn't win.
And others are just, well, angry.
If North West turns out to be anything like her Aunt Kylie, though, there will be spate more hounds in her future, so perhaps the rest of the figures on the Twitter poll will get recycled.
And don't worry. If you thought all North went for her fourth birthday was a puppy, anticipate again.
She and Penelope likewise celebrated in style with an epic-themed birthday bash.
I think it's clearly articulated North and Penelope like ladies, puppies, and based on their brand-new dogs' refers, food.

As the parent of a child on the autism spectrum, you are probably well aware of the frustrations that come with wanting to help your child but not knowing what therapeutic methods to use. The recommendations of your pediatrician or your child's teachers and counselors at school may have proven entirely ineffective.
When you are ready to try a newer and more innovative approach to helping your child with autism learn and thrive, you may consider some of the newest therapies available in the industry. With options like better and more personalized care or ABA therapy Tampa FL parents like you may finally see the breakthrough that you have been longing for with your child.
The Aspects of ABA Therapy
What will your child learn by going through this approach? As you can find on the facility's website, your child will undergo therapeutic programs that encompass holistic wellness and learning. For example, your son or daughter with autism will engage in activities that focus on physical tasks like dressing, using the restroom, and eating. He or she will also learn basic domestic tasks like cleaning up after himself or herself as well as hygiene care like combing his or her hair.
Along with the physical aspect of therapy, your child will also engage in activities that further speech, reading, learning comprehension, and social skills. The therapist will use tactics that instruct waiting and following routines as well as controlling emotional outbursts and anger.
More about ABA
This therapy can be administered in several locations to suit your needs. For example, if you prefer to keep your child at home while undergoing the program, you can arrange for one of our therapists to provide in-home services at your convenience. Likewise, if you want to come to our location so we can work with your child, you also have the option open to you.
We can also come to your child's school to administer this program if you wish. You can find out more about our services and where we are available to help by visiting our website today.
When older methods of teaching and helping your child on the spectrum have failed, it may be time to consider newer and more inventive means of therapy. You could experience the breakthrough you have been looking for as a parent of a child with autism by choosing ABA therapy for your son or daughter.

Design a Logo for Red Griffin small business
- État: Closed
- Prix: £30
- Propositions reçues: 6
- Gagnant: dopham83
Résumé de concours
The requirement is for the design of a logo for a small business offering leadership training for both young adults and adults alike. The company is called Red Griffin and the logo should be of the legendary creature with the body, tail, and back legs of a lion, the head and wings of an eagle and an eagle's talons as its front feet (source Wikipedia - [login to view URL])
Traditionally griffins are drawn in 2D, side on. However this logo wishes to be three dimensional, either front on, or at an angle, in an attempt to move away from the traditional griffin images often found in heraldry.
The colours to be used are as follows, expressed in Hex and RGB:
Red: #bd1a18 (R:189, G:26, B:24)
Blue: #001e57 (R:0, G:30, B:87)
The griffin should be predominately red, and the blue should be used to highlight aspects of the griffin.
The griffin should be stylish and should not be an exact representation of the creature. The style required is similar to the Adidas puma, WWF panda, Jaguar & Primm Valley Resorts logos (samples provided with this submission). The logo should be recognisable as a griffin and have the key features of the wings, head and claws but need not be detailed. It should convey the image of a griffin, the strength and dynamism, without complex detail being included.

Val Valiant Thor, lived as a stranger at the Pentagon for 3 years interacting with President Eisenhower and Vice President at the White House and Air Force military brass. This video explores the conspiracy theories surrounding Val Thor's Pentagon tenure.
Frank E. Stranges Ph.D. is best known today for his best selling work 'Stranger at the Pentagon' which was first published in 1967. His book captured the imagination and sparked one of the longest running mythologies relating to the UFO phenomenon amd hollow Earth in his history. If his sensational story is true, as many people believe it is, then it strikes an entirely new perspective on the history of 20th century America.
Dr. Stranges always struck rather a curious figure in UFO circles. He was a dedicated UFO hunter and a freelance private investigator who apparently never had any trouble accepting the veracity of extra-terrestrial activity. At the same time, he was an evangelical Christian preacher and the founder of a group called the International Evangelism Crusades. According to Dr Franke, it was this unusual combination of beliefs that marked him out as the natural messenger for some very important otherworldly information.
Dr. Stranges claimed that at some point in 1958, he came into the possession of a photograph of a extraterrestrial named Valiant Thor and his second in command, a female named Jill. Dr. Stranges showed off the image at UFO conferences and claimed that Val Thor and Jill were extra-terrestrial beings from planet Venus. This behavior attracted the attentions of the authorities, and eventually, Dr. Stranges was contacted by a Pentagon insider called Nancy Warren who told him that, astoundingly, Val himself had requested a personal meeting.
Naturally, Dr. Stranges was more than happy to accept the invitation and met with Valiant Thor. Val informed him that he and his three person crew had arrived on March 16th, 1957 in a town called Alexandria in Virginia. After Nancy Warren and Frank Strange landed in Alexandria, they are said to have met with two police officers who quickly transferred the information they were telling them onto the Pentagon. The four extra-terrestrial beings would then go on to meet with Neil H McElroy, the Secretary of Defence at the time, and following that, President Eisenhower and Vice President Nixon. It is believed that for a significant period after this meeting, Val and his team met with the senior politicians and Air Force commanders on numerous occasions and gave them advice on policy and dealings with other extra-terrestrial beings.

My first visit to Norfolk Dental Specialists was due to gum disease and I needed specialist treatment to enable me to keep my gums healthy therefore allowing me to keep my own teeth for as long as possible. I was not looking forward to having the work done and tried to cancel but Paula and Imran were so kind, caring & accommodating I continued with my appointment and have not looked back. I now have regular appointments with Chloe the Hygienist who is excellent. I'm pleased to say that several years later I still have my own teeth, can't remember how much it cost now but it was well worth it just to have kept my teeth for as long as possible. I was initially referred to this Clinic by my NHS dentist for receding gum problems & I cannot speak more highly of Norfolk Dental Specialists! The team are all fab! I visit Chloe the Hygienist regularly, every 3 mths, she is so caring, kind & considerate to your needs regarding the upkeep of my teeth along with the nurses, Imran is a star as without his initial professional analysis & work done on my teeth/gums several years ago now, I think I would have lost them and Paula on reception makes you feel totally welcome as soon as you open the door. Keep up the great work guys, you really do make the experience of visiting the dentist a pleasure..well done & thank you.
Had my fist appointment today. This was a consolation appointment . I have always been a nervous person at the dentist . But today after meeting the dentist she made me feel at ease , explained things to me And at no point was I rushed. I felt the cost of my appointment and the treatment today was good value for money. I would tell anyone who needs a dentist to go to Riverside dental clinic. I looked at a few dentist in Norwich and found this one to offer good value for dental treatment Plus it was easy to get to and park my first impression was friendly as soon as I walk in the door .
Had been recommended to see a hygienist by my dentist. Found Corner House on Google.
Fantastic, helpful staff and the hygienist explained everything. Very friendly. The clinic was very friendly and welcoming.
Cannot praise this clinic highly enough the service is superb and the talent of all the team is in my opinion second to none. I have had very bad and very expensive experiences with other dentists who were supposed to be top of their field. My story is too long to go into but involved a front tooth implant and nerve damage. The point I want to get across to whom ever reads this is that Chris and his team not only have the talent and equipment to do the job to the highest spec but they also really do care. You are treated as a patient that needs help and not as a cash point machine. There are so many dentists out there that carry out un-necessary work so as to charge more, this dentist is not one of those. I was taken along to this clinic by a friend of mine, he was seeking information on implants. I was immediately struck by Chris as being someone that is competent and friendly and paid attention to what the patient was saying. I liked the fact that the clinic was very modern and professional but not in an over the top way. It left a good and lasting impression on me so I started to have treatment at the clinic which is a decision I am glad I made.

A typhoon is a tropical cyclone, and is similar to a hurricane except that a typhoon only occurs in the Northwest Pacific Ocean. Nevertheless, typhoons are extremely destructive storms, and I was flying right over one on my way to Nagasaki, Japan.
In September, I was on my way to collect data at Nagasaki University with Etienne, who had agreed to help me with organizing and randomizing the skulls so that I could assess them blindly. To get there from Leicester, it took three days of travelling, with one flight per day and layovers in Dubai and Tokyo. By the time we were on my last flight between Tokyo and Nagasaki, I was tired but excited to finally land and unpack my things. It was on this flight, however, that we were flying over a typhoon. Needless to say, it was the worst flight I've ever had in my life – the aircraft was tossed about quite violently, and we endured two hours of being thrown around nauseatingly in our seats. Finally, we landed safely and my contact at the University of Nagasaki, Dr. Tsurumoto, kindly met us at the airport and confirmed that my equipment had safely arrived the week prior. We were driven to the guest house on campus where we would stay for the next while. This guest house impressively survived the atomic bombing in World War II almost intact, so after that typhoon experience, I was glad to be in a very sturdy building:

David Moyes has officially named his backroom staff at West Ham, bringing in Stuart Pearce, Alan Irvine and Billy McKinlay as his assistant coaches (all three on an equal footing). Ex England U21 boss Pearce is of course a former Hammer, while Irvine and McKinlay have worked with Moyes in the past.
McKinlay was joint caretaker manager along with Robbie Stockdale at struggling Championship outfit Sunderland after Simon Grayson's departure.
Moyes' first assignment after the international break sees the Hammers take on Watford.
Irvine's last assignment with a Premier League club saw him in charge of West Brom. He was sacked after seven months at the Hawthorns with Albion winning 4 out of 19 and just a point above the drop zone at the time of his departure.
Pearce's last managerial assignment was with Nottingham Forest, with NFFC sacking him after just 32 games- he won 10 of them, and only 3 in the last 21 games in charge.

Guys…. let me skip the pleasantries and just jump straight into telling you how lit my weekend was last weekend, really it was fun… Like LITerally. Yes of course, you guessed right,(except that you did not guess because the title already says…) it was the GTBank Fashion Weekend.
I did not attend the maiden edition of the GTBank Fashion Weekend last year because as we all know, it is a few weeks after fashion week; after four days, four outfits and eight ubers for fashion week, I was physically, financially and "materially" exhausted so I had to pass…
This year, for some reason it felt like I reserved a lot more energy for Fashion Weekend, although I didn't do too much preparation by way of outfit, I devoted a lot of time into attending master classes and actually enjoying the whole show.
My Day 1 outfit was a rather simple fit; but on the other hand it happens to be relatively downtrodden in the sense that, my default style is a bit more uptight, hence, I tend not to be the go to guy for sneaker advice. So I find the diversity a bit more satisfying than I should, because as a style blogger; it is important to be as wide-ranged (style speaking) as possible so as not to become predictable and limit your audience.
Also, because you follow my style journey, you can tell that I am I little bit more Afrocentric (style-wise) than most hence I found this very interesting – infusing Afrocentrism into urban street wear like….. wavy init? So I'm on a personal journey to diversify my style as much as possible whilst still keeping it in sync with everything I stand for.
Details: Time piece- Buvola Jeans- Abercombie & Fitch Shoes- Creative Recreation
Day 2 was the highlight of my weekend, I think it's because I got to meet more people, a lot of whom I have not seen in a long time, and I got to create more magic than the first day, plus there is this amazing thing that just gets me every time; you know how you have good friends online but you haven't met them real life? or people that enjoy your feed and are so happy to meet you real life, it gets me every time; I'm not trying to be moist on ya'll but I really really appreciate everyone that recognizes me and then links up to say hi with kind words… It really means a lot, I mean… I'm not happy to meet me sometimes so the fact that people think that I am someone to meet would never stop amazing me.
Chose to go for this semi-formal Afrocentric look because I wanted to dress up for the occasion and still remain comfortable in my fit since there was going to be a lot of moving around.
Details: Frames- Soles and Shades( I picked it up on first day lol)
Timepiece & Belt- Fossil, Shoes- Reto Francesco
Blazer, Shirt and pants- Styleyvalentinoe
The runway shows where fire, I mean, every designer was specially invited so there was a need to wow the audience on a certain level so I felt they understood the need to bring their A game. My best collections where from; Laquan Smith, Weizdhurm Franklyn and Julien Macdonald.
So as usual, that's how I managed to make this all about me, without even saying hi to you guys, such effrontery… So lets do something different today in the comment; whilst sharing your thoughts on the GTBank fashion weekend, either by personal experience or based on my little review, please let me how you are doing too… How has your November been? I want to know too… So let's get talking….

Flash (2) #66
Title: Fish Story
Cover Title: The Race you Demanded! Flash vs. Aquaman ... Not!
Cover Date: July 1992
Writer: Mark Waid
Pencils: Michael Collins
Inks: Roy Richardson
Colors: Matt Hollingsworth
Lettering: Ken Holewczynski
Editor: Brian Augustyn
Cover: Collins and Jose Marzan Jr.
Cover Price: $1.25
Wally West, the Flash, is on a cruise with Linda when the ship they are on is forced onto an island by whales. Before he blacks out, Wally recognizes Aquaman on the rocks.
When Wally awakens, he's dangling over a tide pool filled with sharks. He easily frees himself, but is unable to free his fellow hostages. It turns out that the Marine Marauder is in charge of the operation, and she also can control sea life. She's looking for the lost crown of Enlil, an artifact that gives its wearer complete dominion over the seven seas. After a lot of research she discovered that the crown is in a palace underneath the island. Once on the island, she realized she needed help, so she started to wreck ships to gain human helpers, and used her powers to call in fish. To her surprise, Aquaman answered her call and pitched in to help.
She tells Wally to help out, as the Flash, or she will stop controlling the sharks and let them feast on the hostages.
With the Flash helping, Aquaman quickly gets into the palace, and recovers the chest with the crown. After Aquaman rips the lid off, he intends to snatch it away so the Marine Marauder can't use it, but to the surprise of both of them, Aquaman grabs it and puts it on.
The Marine Marauder wasn't controlling Aquaman. The spirit of Enlil was. And now Enlil is free and has the crown. Oops.
Wally tells MM to get the people into the cave and safety from the rising waters (controlled by Enlil) while he tries to deal with Enlil. He manages to knock the crown off Aquaman's head, and break the control. MM has come out, though, and snags the crown. Flash pulls Aquaman into the cave and shores it up as the waves come crashing down.
The Marine Marauder isn't so lucky...
This is a great story! The cover is an all-time classic! The characters are spot on! This book is great!
Ahem. Can you tell I liked it?
Let's start with the cover. Aquaman and the Flash at a starting line. Aquaman is saying "NOT!" and there's a warning in the lower left: "Warning! This scene does NOT appear in this issue!" Heh heh. I love it. This cover became my December 1997 Cover of the Month, I liked it so much.
Aquaman is the strong silent type throughout the book. But then, he's possessed, so it makes sense.
The Marine Marauder is a great character. In a quick conversation with Wally we learn that she's nuts, and in a flashback we learn that she's a librarian-type character who studied hard to find the crown. Her all too typical villianly greed gets her in the end.
I'm not terribly used to seeing superheroes running around in public like Wally does. Everyone knows who he is! It doesn't seem to cramp his style much. And I suppose that it is something that he and Arthur have in common, except that Wally is much more of a normal guy.
The coloring on Aquaman changes when he's wearing the crown. Very effective.
Rating: 9
Pick this one up if you can find it. A well-crafted stand alone story that is fun to read.

I love the old school phone on this guy!
NYC police begin a crackdown TODAY on folks driving while talking on a phone. Don't do it! You might as well be driving drunk! You can trust me on that, because while doing some research, I found a picture of a horrific crash where the body of the driver was torn in two. Waaaaaaay too nasty to link to on this blog.
People, there's really no excuse for not using a "hands-free device" - also known as the FREE earpiece that has been included in the box of all new cell phones for at least 10 years now. And if I'm wrong about that, I know you can buy an earpiece cheaply. Just don't do it. And don't text while driving, either - it's the same thing. Lord, most of you can't even walk on the sidewalk and talk/text. It's just plain annoying and rude, so don't do it.
Unplug and slow down!
Don't be ruled by your cell phone.
Multi-tasking - DUMB!
Tune in tomorrow for a very special Friday Featured Poet!

If you have $17,000, four months to spare and wanted to spend it cruising around the world, you are shit out of luck. You'll need to shell out $28,409 to $60,579.
MSC Cruise touted a cruise around the world late last year. It involves 49 stops in 32 countries over six continents (sorry Antarctica) on a boat. The cheap-ass basic packages are sold out.
Let's just break it down practically. You are essentially living out of a suitcase and confined to a cruise boat, which are just floating cesspools of disease. You barely get a sense of the town on a day excursions, so basically you're paying for an endurance contest to see how far you can go until you break.
The MSC Magnifica will be your new home, which gets a 3 out of 5 user reviews with 4 out 5 from CruiseCritic. If something bothers you, you have 119 days to deal with it. It's not like you can switch to an AirBnB on the ship.
Then you have to mingle with the same people the whole time. Let's hope you're not stuck with a bunch of jerks, assholes and rude people. The odds are not in your favorite. Not to mention I really hope you love your partner because if you break up, you're screwed.
Now dreams of a lifetime of unlimited travel is great in theory, but in reality, you're away from your friends and family. They miss you, just as much as you miss them. I come across travel stories about people who've been traveling for years non-stop. I'm not jealous, I say, "Go the fuck home and see your mom." Didn't you see that Black Mirror episode?
Finally, the people who do go, their social media presence will be insufferable. "Hey, Day 67, spent 2 hours on a beach in Bora Bora. #blessed" Then they catch a major disease from the all cruise food.
To me, cruising is the anti-travel, because it's not about exploring different cultures or broadening your mind. It's really about saying you did, this, that and the other thing, while eating too much food.

BREAKING: MOB WINS! Mizzou President Tim Wolfe Resigns Amid Race Protests (Video)
Missouri President Tim Wolfe resigned this morning amid campus race protests.
Several Mizzou black athletes announced late Saturday they would boycott all future football games until President Tim Wolfe resigns.
They are upset about the way the school's president has handled racial incidents on campus and that he defunded Planned Parenthood.
Wolfe was pushed out by Democratic lawmakers and the race mob who complained about institutionalized racism on campus.
The mob wants a quota on minority hiring and more money into minority efforts at the college.
Tim Wolfe resigned Monday morning.

Laundry room clutter is an oxymoron, right? Having a messy laundry room makes washing your clothes seem like the least desirable chore. With swift organization skills and handy storage options, these tricks will guarantee that your laundry room is the most efficient and operational room for your needs. From these easily purchased items to crafty DIY ideas, there is something for everyone to use that will transform a messy laundry room.
1. Slide Out Storage
Source: buzzfeed.com
You'll find that most laundry rooms contain small spaces between the washing machine and the wall, so why not utilize this narrow space? Try using a roll out storage unit to tuck away detergent bottles and fabric softener. The products will be easily accessible and there is no shelving necessary! Units like the above can be found at The Container Store. This is by far one of the most useful techniques to use while organizing your laundry room.
2. Makeshift Ironing Board
Source: buzzfeed.com
If you have a front loading washer or dryer, you have the opportunity to make your own surface to iron on. Choose any fabric you like and wrap it around a sturdy piece of plywood topped with batting scraps. A few simple staples from a staple gun will hold everything in place. Alternatively, you may also use fabric glue. This will create your own stylish and compact ironing board. No more bulky board taking up space in your laundry room.
3. Change Jar
Source: buzzfeed.com
While doing laundry, it is almost always a guarantee that you are going to find pockets that are still filled with change. This simple yet useful idea will allow you to tidy up with the help of a mounted mason jar. Once the jar is full, cash it in!
4. Storage Cubbies
Source: familyhandyman.com
If you don't wish to put up standard shelving in your laundry room, try out this cool storage cubby alternative. Using plastic crates is an easy and affordable solution. Hang up as many crates as you need to and remove them just as easily. These cubbies will provide a sturdy surface to house any supplies that you don't want just lying around.
5. Detergent Dispenser
Source: buzzfeed.com
If you buy your laundry detergent in bulk, try placing it into a beverage dispenser. You will be able to dispense a precise amount of liquid with no heavy lifting necessary. If possible, line it up right above your washer so that you can dispense the detergent directly into the machine! This can add style to your average laundry room, and will allow you to use your colored soaps for makeshift decorations.
6. Ladder Drying Rack
Source: diyncrafts.com
Suspend a small wooden ladder from your ceiling using small hooks. This can act as a place for you to hang clothes that require air drying. When you are not using it for drying, the ladder will remain up high and out of the way. You can customize the hooks/chains as well as paint the ladder to make this a more decorative feature when it is not in use for drying clothing.
7. Tilted Basket Shelving
Source: diyncrafts.com
Whether your laundry basket contains clean clothes waiting to be folded or dirty clothes waiting to be washed, you can place them on tilted shelves that are mounted above your washer and dryer. This tip works great if you have a small laundry room with little to no floor space. The tilt of the shelving makes the baskets easily accessible for those that are both tall and short.
8. Stack It
Source: bhg.com
Another advantage to having front loading washers and dryers is your ability to stack them! This will instantly maximize your space and keep things organized. This is especially useful if your laundry room is inside of a small closet or room. Minimizing the amount of space your laundry room takes up also minimizes the upkeep.
9. Hidden Machines
Source: homestoriesatoz.com
If you are not fond of walking into your laundry area and seeing your washer and dryer stealing the focal point, try setting up small curtains to cover the area until you are ready to use it. A simple curtain rod and curtains of your choice can keep the space neutral and keep your mind off of doing chores, until you absolutely need to, that is.
10. Make it Pop
Source: homestoriesatoz.com
An alternative to the last tip goes hand in hand with the phrase so often heard – If you can't beat 'em, join 'em! If you are tired of walking into your bland laundry room, try applying some wallpaper or paint to liven up one of the walls. This will make the space seem more put together and it will motivate you to keep everything in its place. An accent wall will modernize your space and allow it to feel more seamless.

Very Good 8.0 From 70 reviews
a great hotel if you are attending convention in Mexico. It's very close to the convention center and shopping mall.
This was absolutely the best stay I have had at a hotel for this pricing. The accommodations were well above my expectation and the service and friendliness of the staff made for a great experience. Upon my next visits to Mexico city, I will be staying with City Express each time, as I was well pleased with the service!
Nice hotel, good room, friendly staff and nice neighborhood.
