Currently a 100-home community will be fabricated for residents in El Salvador next year. The Vulcan printer can print an entire home for $10,000, but eventually, the company plans to bring the cost down to just $4,000. "It's much cheaper than the typical American home. It's capable of printing a home that's 800 square feet, a significantly bigger structure than properties pushed by the tiny home movement, which top out at about 400 square feet. In contrast, the average New York apartment is about 866 square feet," said co-founder Jason Ballard. Continue reading for more interesting images from around the web.

(Editor's note: I'm going to try to avoid big spoilers here, but keep in mind that I am reviewing a film so I will have to talk about some plot points which may "Spoil" certain parts of the film. If you haven't seen it watch it before reading.)
If you've listened to our podcasts or read the article I wrote about the DC animated films, it should come as no surprise to you that I was eagerly awaiting this latest release. We actually thought it was coming out a lot earlier, but now finally the Justice League Dark animated film is available on digital, Blueray will be released on Feb. 7. Let me just start off by saying I am a huge fan of the Justice League Dark comic series. Deadman is one of my favorite DC characters as are John Constantine and Zatanna. The idea to have these characters team up to take on the "magic" and demonic threats to the DCU is in my opinion a stroke of geinus. Plus, we get to see them interact with each other and develop relationships. The fact that this is "R" rated also helps the way the characters speak and act remain very close to the source material.
So let's get right into this. . . My god this is "Dark" and amazing. The first five minutes. . . Holy Shit. Ok, that needed to be said. For some reason people in Washington D.C. Metropolis and Gotham City really all over the world are seeing other people as demons or creatures. Justice League to the rescue right? Wrong. When magic is involved you gotta call in the experts.
We get really nice introductions to our main characters. Constantine scamming demons, Zatanna performing on stage, Jason Blood aka Etrigan the Demon, and an excellent backstory on Boston Brand aka Deadman. There's enough of a reveal in the backstories of the character's relationships that help to move things along. The inclusion of Batman, is a nice touch, especially the whole fish out of water aspect that he brings to the new group.
There was a giant shit scorpion/spider creature. Amazing…. Seriously is there any situation Batman can't contend with. Deadman's poop jokes were classic. I really like how we don't get a reveal of the "villian" until into the second half of the film.
Then we get an amazing Jason Blood/Etrigan origin story. At this point you can tell that they were already thinking they're gonna make more of these films. Swamp Thing making a cameo was a nice, and I can see why they had him appear. I think they could have had other characters from the comic in there as well but I understand not wanting to throw too many new characters in a story all at once.
The battle scene did a great job showing the scope and various types of spells and incantations in the arsenal of Zatanna, Constantine and others. I'm not going to reveal anything about the villian, if you know the comics you can figure it out before the reveal actually happens.
Overall: Was this the best DC animated film ever? Short answer no. It was very good but that honor still belongs to Under the Red Hood. Is it in the top 5, I'd say yes. The look, tone, humor and action sequences were all top notch. Deadman was perfect as comic relief and this was probably the best depiction of John Constantine I've seen, sorry Keanu. The story was good, not great. It moved along at a nice pace but was kind of all over the place. I liked it and was familiar with many, but not all, of the characters and I can see how this might be hard for everyone to follow. Also if you took out the flashbacks, which were actually much more necessary than just as exposition, your 75 minute movie is probably closer to 55-60 minutes. I mentioned earlier that I think they went into this with the idea of making more of these in the future. I really hope they do. There are a ton of characters that could "easily" be introduced in these films, like Frankenstein, Shade or Madam Xanadu just to name a few. They don't have a lot of source material, only 40 issues, but I think the characters have enough enemies that you could make some original stuff. I'd give this 3.25 out of 4 stars.

Dirty Dozen Brass Band
Tickets: https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/3327543?pk_vid=645e738559b17a851...
To describe how the Dirty Dozen Brass Band has arrived at its 35th Anniversary, trumpet player Gregory Davis employs a tried-and true New Orleans-centric analogy: "It ends up being like a pot of gumbo - you drop in a little okra, drop in a little shrimp, you drop in some crabs. Before you know it, you've mixed in all these different ingredients and you've got a beautiful soup. That was our approach to music early on and it still is today."
Baritone sax player Roger Lewis - who, like Davis, has been with the combo since its inception in 1977 - echoes that sentiment: "It's a big old musical gumbo, and that probably made the difference, separating us from other brass bands out of New Orleans. It put a different twist on the music. We were not trying to change anything, we were just playing the music we wanted to play and not stay in one particular bag."
An appetite for musicological adventure, a commitment to honor tradition while not being constrained by it, and a healthy sense of humor have brought the world-traveling Dirty Dozen Brass Band to this remarkable juncture in an already storied career. The current Dirty Dozen lineup includes Davis, Lewis, tenor-sax man Kevin Harris, trumpeter Efrem Towns, sousaphonist Kirk Joseph, drummer Terence Higgins and guitarist Jake Eckert.
While traditional numbers infused with a DDBB flavor have always been crowd-pleasing staples of the group's repertoire, it's the Dirty Dozen Brass Band's willingness to look beyond the New Orleans songbook and find connections amongst a wider range of music that has endeared them to critics, fellow musicians and a multi-generational, global audience. They've been embraced enthusiastically by the jam-band followers at Bonnaroo as well as by the devotees who flock to the yearly New Orleans Jazz Fest. Acts like the Black Crowes and Widespread Panic have taken them on tour and artists from Dizzy Gillespie to Elvis Costello to Norah Jones have joined them in the studio. In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, DDBB participated in the From the Big Apple To The Big Easy benefit at New York City's Madison Square Garden and offered its own response to the aftermath of the disaster with an acclaimed 2006 song-by-song remake of Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On." Their music has been featured on the HBO series Treme, named after the New Orleans mid-city neighborhood where the band had formed, and the group performed on screen with Galactic and rapper Juvenile in Season 2. New Orleans remains a wellspring of musical inspiration and DDBB is a living, breathing embodiment of the continued vitality and evolution of the sounds of the city.
But, Davis cautions, "We've never been the norm, even though we started out as a traditional New Orleans brass band. In the beginning we weren't getting work of any kind, so we thought it was okay to explore other music. That allowed us as individuals to bring ourselves into the rehearsals and that's where we started to experiment. At the time the band started, I was a student at Loyola University and we were all being introduced to other music - to jazz from the twentieth century and so on. It's impossible to think that you can be exposed to the harmonies that Duke Ellington was making, the rhythms coming from Dizzy Gillespie or the funk being done by James Brown, and then ignore it when you're playing New Orleans music. New Orleans music is all of that. If we had chosen to just put in the music presented to us then as traditional, it would have stunted our growth. Being more than what we heard is what the band was about."
For mainstays like Davis and Lewis, 35 years have passed in the blink of an eye, as Lewis, who also sits in with several other NOLA combos, acknowledges: "Check it out - I'm 70 years old, I'm the oldest dude in the band - I'm the oldest dude in everybody's band, now that I think about it. I don't know where the time went. I guess it's just the music, man, you don't be thinking about all that. I've been in it 35 straight years. The reason why the band stayed together for so long, despite all we've gone through, it's the right chemistry. We're trying to make it do what it do. If we have this conversation when I'm 80, we'll still be trying to make it do what it do."
"As we continue to do live shows," Davis concludes, "the challenge is still going to be, how am I going to entertain these people that are in front of me tonight? You have to make that happen at the moment, and that's what we do best."

Major Life Changes
During the three and a half months Stephen and I were on the road in Canada enjoying full-time RV living; I relished every day. I felt a sense of floating through life. I enjoyed heightened awareness of what was in front of me, fully immersed in the moment.
Then, abruptly, I would get a phone call that brought me back down to earth to handle a situation related to our property in New Mexico.
Even though our rental property produces a significant amount of our income, it just doesn't serve our larger goal of living free of the stressors that come with home ownership. You know what I mean… maintenance.
It's funny because I don't resent the maintenance of the motorhome at all. Sure. problems come up that need solutions. But, my coach is the vehicle (literally and figuratively) that provides me with a rich meaningful life.
We've been talking a lot about selling our furnished rental property. The longer we travel on the road, enjoying the feeling of being untethered to a place, the more we crave freedom from these ties that bind. The first step to selling, of course, is emptying your house. It would be a lot easier just to sell everything and have neither art studio space nor some storage.
Our home and casita have been vacation rentals for over three years now, but we have outbuildings and a giant art studio that we utilize when we need to be back in that location. After much deliberation, we have come to accept the necessity of both a studio and a small amount of storage.
Storage space, it became clear, was a must for Stephen who is more of a saver than I am. He's been consistently purging since we started RVing, but now it's time to get serious. I wrote an earlier post all about letting go. You can read more here.
Theoretically, I considered myself emotionally prepared to sell our home of 25 years that we created as a place of comfort and beauty. Boy, was I in for a surprise! You don't know how you are going to feel until you have dived in and are experiencing change. So now I'm going to get up close and personal about this journey out of our comfort zone.
I researched SKP parks that are an inexpensive way to provide for both studio space, storage, and full hook-ups! We are currently at an SKP park in Southern New Mexico and put down earnest money on a lot to lease today. Here's a pictures of the lot we decided on.
We had only three days to contemplate taking this step. I found myself in an internal wrestling match. Did this mean I shouldn't act? My mind was swinging like a pendulum between the pros and cons.
It occurred to me in the middle of the night that I might not be the only person troubled by decision making. My usual approach to difficulties is research. I found some online wisdom, which couldn't have come at a better time. Plus, I needed a new subject for my next blog post, and here it was, right in front of me!
"Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore." –Andre Gide
I looked up the meaning of approach/avoidance conflict, and I think it's worth giving you a synopsis of this documented phenomenon. I took this excerpt from the web page. Go here to read more.
What Is Approach-Avoidance Conflict?
It occurs when an individual faces a decision to pursue or avoid something that has advantages and disadvantages. This form of conflict involves only one goal. The name comes from the advantages of the goal making the person want to approach the goal and the disadvantages making him or her want to avoid it.
Finding Equilibrium
This type of conflict is known to cause stress. People go back and forth trying to make a decision. They are trying to find their equilibrium point where they are about to accept both the advantages and disadvantages, no matter the final decision. As the person nears the goal, they feel a pull from the disadvantage side. This leads the person to avoid the goal. As the person starts to pull away, they feel the pull from the advantage side to approach the goal. The person eventually reaches their equilibrium point.
The attractiveness or repulsiveness of a goal increases as one gets closer to it!
I was very much comforted when I read equilibrium will unfold if I just follow the process that is going on inside of me. After three days of anguish and thinking I would lose my mind, I wished I had thought to research what I was going through even sooner. I needed to resolve the ping-pong nature of my thoughts.
Here is the thing I've discovered from "following my bliss" in this instance. It's easy for me to dismiss measured decision making. Left to my own devices, I just plow ahead when I have a goal. I don't take time for the process to unfold.
Stephen and I are very different in our approaches to living. Yet, I don't think we've ever faced any major life change with so much openness and honesty. During these few days, we've both spoken openly about our fears, hopes, concerns, and anxieties. Pretty much every emotion you can think of came up during this decision making. We each allowed the other to express our feelings mostly without judgment or starting an argument.
That's a lot of emotion to pack into three days, and it was challenging. No wonder that process is one I've often avoided in the past!
Now, we've put down earnest money and committed to this life change. We aren't 100% sure this is the right thing we've done. But, discussing all sides has given us a full spectrum view of the possible repercussions. Therefore, we'll be as ready to face challenges as possible. Mostly, we think this was our best move to get closer to our goal of maximum freedom.
I guess we've reached equilibrium! Wish us luck!
NEWS ALERT! My daughter just expressed some interest in buying our property. Now we are going through the approach/avoidance process all over again! Moving forward is never a straight line.
What processes do you use to help you through major life changes? I'd love to her them.

Box jellyfish will destroy future oceans by gobbling up the food
AS THE oceans become more acidic, box jellyfish may start eating a lot more. Their greedy appetites could have a huge impact on marine ecosystems.
Some of the carbon dioxide we release is dissolving in the oceans, where it becomes carbonic acid – making the oceans less alkaline and more acidic. Scientists are scrambling to identify which species will be most affected.
They are particularly concerned about those that play pivotal roles in marine food webs, because if they disappear, entire ecosystems may collapse.
Copepods are especially critical. These tiny crustaceans are the most abundant animal on Earth by mass. They can swarm in vast numbers, creating a feast for larger animals. What happens to copepods affects all that depend on them, "which is pretty much everything", says Edd Hammill of Utah State University.
Previous studies have found they may be fairly resistant to ocean acidification. However, these have largely focused on single species, so effects driven by predators, for example, may have been missed.
To find out, Hammill and his colleagues collected copepods and one of their predators, the box jellyfish Carybdea rastoni, from the waters around Australia. They kept the plankton in tanks containing either ambient seawater or seawater acidified at levels predicted for 2100, then added box jellyfish to half of each set of tanks. After 10 days, they counted what survived.
Both acidification and box jellyfish reduced the number of copepods, but the two together caused 27 per cent more deaths than the sum of the two individually. The jellyfish were eating more: they ate nearly 37 per cent of copepods in the ambient seawater tanks, but almost 83 per cent in the acidified water (Global Change Biology, doi.org/ccvd).
Hammill thinks the copepods were weakened by the acidified water and that the jellyfish took advantage. But he can't rule out other possibilities. "It could be the jellies are being negatively affected by the acidified water and are needing more prey to get along," he says.
"It is a simple and clever experiment with some intriguing results," says Nyssa Silbiger of California State University. It highlights the critical need to better understand community dynamics in response to changing environmental conditions, she says. "If these results do translate to the global oceans, even just a little, it could have potentially dramatic and cascading effects on the ocean food web."
Other jellyfish are likely to respond similarly to acidified water, says Hammill.
He plans to look at the Arctic ecosystem next. "It's the most productive and one of the largest ecosystems [in] the world," he says. If the same pattern occurs, it "could be a really big deal".

|The way a business operates has gone through dramatic changes throughout the years. In recent years the market has taken a turn towards the, World Wide Web, the internet.Since the first settlers arrived in the United States there have been business men who sold, traded, and bartered their goods in exchange for something else with equal value. When the first businesses were created they catered solely to the people of that area. The business men did not have the luxury of being able to transport their goods to anyone farther then walking distance. This restricted the type of business they could have. In the North it was important to have what those people needed most. If you had clothing to keep people warm and food in the winter months then you could have a very successful business. The idea of supply and demand is timeless, and is one that has never changed. If the same business man tried to sell those items to someone in the South they would have struggled because the supply is high and the demand is low.

First Quarter 2016 - Market Newsletter
"What does that mean? Huh? 'China is here.'"
- Kurt Russell as Jack Burton from the 1986 film "Big Trouble in Little China"
Markets whipsawed between gains and losses throughout the first quarter. Continued global growth concerns, renewed stress in Chinese markets, US political drama and divergent central bank policies all impacted markets in the first three months of 2016.
The US economy maintained some positive momentum. Based on the latest revised data, fourth quarter GDP increased at an annual rate of 1.4% following a 2.0% increase in the third quarter. This March 25th data point marked a positive revision from the originally lower estimate of +0.7% GDP growth. As discussed in our Q4 market commentary, inventory build-up represented an expected drag on fourth quarter growth. Nevertheless, consumption and residential investment continued to show signs of strength. As discussed in Massey Quick's 2016 Market Outlook, we maintain our position that the consumer will continue to represent a positive growth driver. The labor markets continued to show signs of relative health. The February nonfarm payrolls figure released in March showed that employers added 242,000 jobs for the month while the overall unemployment rate posted further declines to 4.9%. Both December and January payrolls experienced positive revisions; however, critical wage inflation statistics appeared to take a step backwards.
The US Federal Reserve's March meeting largely met expectations with the central bank opting not to increase interest rates. The Fed's statement (and Chair Janet Yellen's press conference) cited heightened global growth concerns and potential downside in inflation as key reasons behind the decision. The FOMC shifted its "dot plot" for future interest rates lower while further signaling that there would likely be only two rate hikes in 2016. These generally dovish indicators were further enforced by additional dovish commentary from Chair Yellen in a speech on March 29th. An accommodative Federal Reserve likely contributed to the first quarter reversal in the US Dollar's uptrend. After rising in both Q3 and Q4 of 2015, the dollar fell approximately -4% to start 2016.
On the micro front, earnings results continued to be mixed. According to data from JP Morgan, 74% of S&P 500 companies beat earnings estimates in the fourth quarter. However, earnings growth continued to paint a worrisome picture with Q4 EPS growth clocking it at -7%. The embattled energy sector represented a meaningful drag on Q4 earnings; nevertheless, even if one excludes said sector, EPS growth was still negative for the first time since 2009 (data as of 3/2/16). The trend of recent lackluster fundamental results continues to raise questions about the future return potential of domestic equities following a multi-year rally from the depths of the recession. Expectations for Q1 2016 earnings remain largely pessimistic.
The 2016 Presidential election gained some clarity as the field of candidates narrowed meaningfully following a number of major caucuses. Nevertheless, there is still much ground to be covered between now and Election Day and there are concerns that the extreme views of certain candidates on both sides of the aisle pose risks to the US economy.
International Markets
China was once again a source of meaningful volatility as signals of tighter liquidity and slowing growth weighed heavily on market sentiment early in the quarter. According to data released in January, China's economy grew at 6.9% in 2015, the slowest rate of growth in 25 years. A common debate throughout the first quarter centered on whether the People's Bank of China would engage in a devaluation of the yuan as a means to combat systemic leverage issues and slumping growth. While China concerns somewhat abated by quarter end amidst signs that capital outflows were slowing, questions will likely continue to dominate headlines in 2016.
Both the Bank of Japan and the European Central Bank featured prominently among the headlines in the first quarter. In the case of the former, a surprise move to negative interest rates in late January caught markets off guard as Japanese policy makers sought to combat lackluster inflation / growth data. The BoJ further reiterated its pledge to spur spending and inflation at a policy meeting in March. ECB President Mario Draghi followed suit at the ECB's own much-anticipated March policy meeting: Europe's central bank cut the already-negative deposit rates by an additional 10 basis points and boosted bond purchases from €60B to €80B. Additionally, Draghi noted that corporate bonds would now be eligible for asset purchases. Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, the market response to each of these accommodative actions was more muted than in previous instances as negative interest rates engendered banking sector stress and concerns about the reduced efficacy of quantitative easing.
Geopolitical tensions remained high as another tragic terrorist attack in Europe (this time at a Brussels airport in March) produced uncertainty. The European migrant crisis also showed no signs of slowing down. Additionally, the specter of a British exit (i.e. "Brexit") from the European Union loomed large as the Mayor of London publicly supported a UK departure.
After meaningful declines in 2015, the price of WTI oil actually rose from $37.04/barrel to $38.34/barrel in the first quarter amidst signs of continued production cuts and (ultimately unfounded) rumors that Saudi Arabia would be willing to make a deal on production. Nevertheless, this slight rebound in prices belies the significant volatility that the commodity demonstrated in Q1: WTI's route to this gain included a stop at $26 on February 11th and a high of $41 on March 22nd.
Equity Markets
Equities demonstrated meaningful volatility to start the new year. January actually saw the S&P 500 enter correction territory (defined as a decline of 10% or more from highs) as both micro and macro worries weighed on investor sentiment. However, markets experienced a furious bounce that began in mid-February and continued through the quarter end. This move, which saw the S&P 500 gain +6.8% in March allowed the index to yield an overall gain of +1.4% for the first quarter.
International markets were not immune to the swings in investor sentiment and generally experienced similar levels of volatility. Results were generally mixed across regions. Despite continued accommodation from the ECB and BoJ, European and Asian equities posted muted results. For reference, when measured in US Dollars, the MSCI AC Europe index shed approximately -1.9% while the MSCI AC Asia Index fared worse (down -2.2%). In a departure from recent trends, emerging markets were actually a standout positive performer as the aforementioned rally saw the region ratchet upwards by over 13% in March according to the MSCI EM index. This meaningful move allowed for the region to post an overall gain of +5.8% in the first quarter.
Sector dispersion was meaningful in the first quarter. In the US, more stable utilities and telecom companies returned a whopping +15% and +17%, respectively in the first quarter as investors likely sought perceived safe haven equities amidst a volatile trading environment. In contrast, the healthcare sector (-5.5%) struggled as political pressure on drug prices and the struggles of several high profile pharmaceutical companies likely weighed on results. The financial sector was also a noteworthy laggard in Q1, posting losses of -5%. This move was not isolated to the US: concerns over a low/negative interest weighed heavily on banks around the globe in the first quarter.
Bottom Line: We still continue to view equities as an attractive source of long-term growth in portfolios. We believe that volatility creates opportunities and are monitoring exposures closely. Opportunistic rebalancing activity may be appropriate in market segments that see significant selling activity.
Fixed Income
Global bonds posted gains in the first quarter with the Barclays Global Aggregate index advancing +5.9%. Accommodative central banks and a bid for safe haven assets likely contributed to a rally in debt instruments around the world. High yield markets posted a meaningful rally alongside their equity counterparts in late February/March. For the quarter, the Barclays Global High Yield Index gained +4.1% though most of this move can be attributed to the month of March wherein the index rallied +5%. According to data from JP Morgan, the riskiest segment of the high yield market was a meaningful driver of returns with CCC-rated securities (+4.6%) meaningfully outpacing their BB counterparts (+2.8%).
On a fundamental basis, the first quarter saw default activity creep upward. Based on data from JP Morgan, 21 companies defaulted in Q1 with the total dollar volume of defaulted bonds representing the fifth highest quarterly default total on record. Furthermore, these defaults pushed the high yield default rate up to approximately 4.5%. As might be expected, the energy/mining complex represents a meaningful portion of this default activity. Many market participants expect the debt default rate to continue to increase as companies experience financing pressures.
Trading liquidity in fixed income markets remained poor as the absence of large bank dealer desks continued to result in non-fundamental price movements in debt instruments. These moves were perhaps most pronounced in structured credit markets in Q1. Both commercial and residential mortgage backed securities demonstrated meaningful spread volatility in sympathy with equities and high yield bonds, while illiquid trading conditions often engendered wide bid/offer spreads. Similarly, CLO markets also struggled as concerns about underlying credit spread risk caused dislocations.
Bottom Line: We continue to approach credit markets with caution. First quarter price action has continued to highlight the dangers inherent in a lower-liquidity trading environment.
Alternative Investments
Based on preliminary index results, hedge funds yielded mixed results in Q1 with the HFN Hedge Fund Aggregate Index shedding -0.5%. Most strategies struggled during the quarter. The HFN Equity Hedge benchmark fell -1.6% to start 2016. Many popular hedge fund long positions continued to see volatility in the early part of 2016 to the detriment of long/short strategies. Additionally, short positions generally suffered in the significant market bounce that began in mid February. According to HFN, Fixed Income strategies also yielded mixed results and more directional Distressed strategies (-1.9%) continued to struggle. Market liquidity likely weighed on alternative credit. As was the case in the previous quarter, exposure to "crowded" hedge fund positions once again represented a potential pain point for many funds as widespread portfolio de-risking may have facilitated price declines. Movements in the first quarter may have been exacerbated by the rumored unwinding of a number of portfolios at several large multi-manager platforms.
Bottom Line: We are sympathetic to investor frustration with hedge fund performance. However, we maintain our position that increasing levels of volatility and market inefficiencies in illiquid assets create attractive opportunities.
Conclusion and Outlook
Our focus remains grounded in a dedicated, disciplined asset allocation framework for each client portfolio. We continue to believe that portfolio diversification across asset classes facilitates a broad opportunity set for delivering returns in an environment of increasing uncertainty.

"The main junction in Saggart has been in dreadful condition since last year's tough winter. Many residents have been in touch with me on this issue and after representations on their behalf the Council earmarked funding for the repair of this junction," said Minister Fitzgerald.
"The Council have made short-term improvements to the junction since then but a full repair job was not undertaken as pipes need to be laid along the Embankment Road. These pipes are now being laid and work on the junction and the ramp will begin as soon as the pipe works are complete," continued Fitzgerald.
"As part of the Government's Jobs Initiative roads and junctions around the country are being upgraded and repaired. It is crucial to the long term recovery and prosperity of our country to continue to invest in our infrastructure," concluded Fitzgerald.

Funny Is This Woman the Worst 'Family Feud' Player Ever?
Warning: Video contains some profanity.
WATCH: This 'Wheel of Fortune' Contestant Made Some Very Odd Guesses
Family Feud Contestant's $20K Fail Is Tough to Watch
A contestant on "Family Feud" kept giving the same answers even though they had been guessed moments before, and some were already on the board.
The survey question asked for another way that people say "mother."
After "Mom/Mommy" and "Mama" were correctly guessed, and "Nana" was incorrectly guessed, contestant Sheila tried variations on those answers with barely altered inflections.
Host Steve Harvey could not conceal his exasperation as Sheila kept recycling the same answers.
The video frustratingly cuts out before the last two answers are revealed.

I'm absolutely in love with the Winterland Collection from Fancy Pants Designs, and I think this collection might just contain the most beautiful papers ever. They reflect how I feel about the softness and sweetness of the season, even before the Christmas tree goes up.
This layout features a photo of my daughters showing what they're made of on a typical winter day in Montana. When you never get a snow day and winter goes on forever, you just take the weather in stride and make it part of the fun!
We had so much fun taking these photos! I even stretched out in the snow in my shorts and tank for the cause!
Thanks for stopping by today!

I was truly happy to seeCaroline Wozniacki ("Auntie Caro") win her first slam at the Australian Open and return to the number 1 ranking.
Since Serena couldn't be there to defend her title I am glad that one of Serena's closest friends and honorary aunt to Alexis Jr. took the title.
Hey Serena – maybe you should talk to Mark Ein so he can get Caroline on the Kastles and have you return to the team and see the two of you play doubles here in DC.

Coffee and Memories!
14 comments:
Sounds like a great time, albeit possibly a deliciously fattening time. I wish there were such places around here. Coffee shops are abundant, but not this kind of coffee shop.ReplyDelete
I know any coffee shop is fine when you are having fun with people you love.
It is lovely to spend time with your girls and it sounds like you really enjoyed it.ReplyDelete
I love it when my daughters want to go out with me - makes it special. :))
What a wonderful time with your girls. What the three of you shared will be remembered always.ReplyDelete
You can travel anywhere you wish with an imagination as active as yours. I am so glad you had this special time with your daughters! And the scene you described was the perfect accompaniment to your coffee and cake.ReplyDelete
It sounds like wonderful memory making time with your daughters! The coffee is just a bonus...and I'd definitely choose the brownie!! :)ReplyDelete
I have memories in my mind like this... they are the best.ReplyDelete
The spread looks delicious. Now you are making me hungry! :)
sweets with the sweets. :)ReplyDelete
The imagination is a wonderful place to visit at times like these.ReplyDelete
You can't ask for anything better. So glad you are getting fun time with your girls.ReplyDelete
I totally get it. Time with my two sons together is rare but oh, what a treasure. It is the greatest gift they could ever give me! SandraReplyDelete
Time is our most priceless commodity and it's great that you've spent your well. Makin' memories. Ya just can't get any better than that!ReplyDelete
I have a sweet SIL that together we 'split' our diet splurges and get the best of both worlds! Heeehehe!
God bless ya and have a marvelous Thanksgiving filled with many wonderful memories sweetie!
BTW: Giveaway...my place...ya'll come!!! :o)
The time spent with your girls are worth a million, no a trillion brownies...Im so glad you were able to have FUN and that they wanted to share so many stories of their travels with you!ReplyDelete
(and guess whose girls are coming from college to visit their mom and dad this week for Thanksgiving? *big happy grin, like Buttons grin* !!!!)
Sounds like a great time. I love coffee shops and old buildings. And I think the apple crisp looks pretty yummy. You can always make a brownie. (Ghirardelli mixes are pretty good!)ReplyDelete
Cindy Bee
I would have had the apple crisp... mostly because I prefer fruit in dessert instead of chocolate. Although, having said that.... my own desserts always leave me wondering why I have any at all when out and about. Not much measures up to home made... maybe I am being a bit "unhumble"...but, I do love my own cooking and baking... the memories on the other hand.... would be priceless....ReplyDelete
The mind grows by what it feeds on. J.G. Holland
Thank you so much for your comments, they mean more to me then I could ever express. Hug B

Adam and Keli is critically acclaimed for developing a unique style of wedding photography, deeply rooted in wedding photojournalism and influenced by fine-art and fashion photography. We pride ourselves on not just being photographers, but rather artists creating unique and expressive imagery.
As leaders and educators in the industry, we constantly experiment with new tools and techniques and blend various photography styles to challenge our creativity and tell compelling stories.
What exactly does all of this mean? Well, let's get into the specifics of what makes our style unique. Here are the primary styles of Adam and Keli. Our typical approach combines elements of each style, adjusted for factors like the location, lighting, and client preferences. However, if you like a particular style, be sure to let your photographer know during your initial meeting.
Our Signature Style is high definition, vibrant, crisp, and clean. Skin tones are accurate and the natural colors of the scene "pop", giving the image a beautiful, timeless aesthetic.
Our Romantic Style can be described as soft and whimsical with filmic textures and tones. This style is perfect for scenes in nature and rustic wedding venues.
Our Creative Style incorporates advanced camera and flash techniques used to create compelling and creative effects. This includes HDR photography, Advanced Off-Camera Flash, Long Exposures, Panoramic Stitching, and much more.
Always in search of reflections, silhouettes, foregrounds, perfect symmetry, and juxtapositions, you'll see our photographers sneaking behind objects, shooting off mirrors, and finding different perspectives. Whatever it takes to get the shot! The idea is to turn ordinary into extraordinary through finding the interest of the composition in a scene that the average eye may not notice.
Our Creative Style also applies to our Night Time Photography. Our passion for understanding lighting and camera equipment has helped us develop a style of night photography that exposes for stunning backgrounds, creates a dramatic effect, and maintains a natural feel to the image.
Wedding Photojournalism takes awareness of surroundings, knowledge of human tendencies, and patience. Each image we take serves a purpose and has a point. Each image captures an emotion, tells a story, or portrays a mood or feeling. That's why you won't see us taking random pictures, for example, you stuffing your face with food or staring off into space.
We're always paying close attention to the environment, listening in on conversations and anticipating that smile, laugh, tear, or hug. We have our crop in mind, our lighting set up perfectly, and we're waiting for that expression.
Our studio defines photojournalism as placing ourselves in the right place at the right time, anticipating expressions of emotion and being ready to document events with an eye for storytelling. We apply this style of photography anytime we are photographing non-posed events, like Ceremonies, Cocktail Hour, and Others.
Our Editorial Style incorporates poses and post-production often found in Fashion Photography. These are generally described as "vogue", stylish, and fashion forward. The backgrounds usually are more moody with deep shadows and dramatic lighting.
Regardless of the style, we prioritize the following aspects of the wedding day.
We understand that weddings are more than just unions between two individuals, they are unions of two families. To celebrate family, we ensure that we devote proper time and attention to the family members. This manifests itself with beautiful emotional moments.
Whether you're stiff as a board or used to being in front of the camera, we'll make sure we give you as much direction as you need to create natural, comfortable poses.
We're always paying attention to things like overly puckered lips, unflattering angles, and other awkward expressions. At the same time, we're creating an environment where you're comfortable and your personalities and affection are the focal points of the image. We'll also be sure to come up with poses that focus on your positive physical aspects.
We love setting up scenes where you and your family/friends can be silly, fun, and playful. In some scenes, the idea sometimes is to get you out of your comfort zone by getting you to do something silly, ridiculous, or even inappropriate. During those moments, and especially in between, we're snapping away to get those smiles and natural emotions.
You've spent thousands of dollars on the details of your wedding like the rings, floral arrangements, centerpieces, venues, candy bars, etc. We're not going to let it slip past us!
We capture the details of your wedding with the same attention and with many of the same techniques as we've described above. Your day moves quickly and while you may not have the time to sit back and fully appreciate your cake, we'll be sure to have gorgeous pictures of it.
And don't forget, we take some pretty cool ring shots.

Evaluating Five Proposed Price and Credit Policies for the Army

Topic: Military and defense (Military spending)
Type: Brief
As the Army moves toward implementation of a Single Stock Fund, some of the important decisions to be made involve the pricing and credit policies that will be adopted. In the spring of 1998, the Army established a Credit/Pricing Integrated Product Team to develop alternative policies and identify criteria for evaluating them. The Arroyo Center was tasked to conduct the evaluation. This documented briefing documents the key findings of that evaluation. Five alternatives were evaluated, including one that has already been selected as the interim policy and a variant of the interim policy that incorporates a number of potential enhancements. The analysis utilized detailed data from across the Army to understand the effect of each alternative on the funds that the field would require to maintain equipment readiness and the resources that the working capital fund must have to remain solvent. The study concluded that the interim policy would be superior to the current policy in many respects, but it includes features that are likely to increase total Army procurement and repair costs. The alternative that included enhancements to the interim policy would likely avoid these shortcomings.
