School is officially out and summer will soon be here.
What does Memorial Day mean to you? I would love to hear.
a picnic or a special outing.
When I think of memorial day, I think of all the loved ones that are gone, and a great time for family traditions.
Such as a favorite recipe, or special picnic spot, kids remember such good memories.
A sentimental yearning for the happiness of a former place or time.
Oh I believe everyone experiences that during the holidays, and at any time for many reasons.
A Treasured Memento. All them special items your want to hang onto from that special time. A award, a family document, a essay, maybe a special song. I wanted to give people a way to cherish these and their special photos to into one keepsake collage. What kind of mementos do you have stashed away? Everyone has at least one.
My son Jackson wrote this essay in third grade on the one year anniversary of 911. September 11, 2002. His essay earned him acclaim in the local newspaper along with other students. Something about this essay really hit home.
Yes it was a wonderful essay for a third grade boy.
But it also made me realize how grateful I am to have accomplished what I put my dreams and hard work into.
I hung onto that essay for nine years. And now I’m looking for that perfect spot on the wall to hang my new essay.
I won’t need to dig it up anymore.

Business is going well and you have a solid foothold in your domestic market. You’re ready to explore new markets across borders and oceans. But the task is daunting: Cultural, geographic and language barriers seem like an insurmountable challenge.
Don’t lose your nerve. Penetrating a new market overseas is actually easier than it might seem.
Just last year, China’s OnePlus was able to become one of the most sought after smartphones on the global market in an incredibly short period of time. By focusing on airtight logistics and customer support and by creating campaigns targeting local consumers, the company was able to rapidly scale-up marketing and distribution around the world.
1. Don’t get lost in translation.
2. Living la vida loca-lization.
Yes, speaking the local lingo is an essential way to foster market entry. But, on a global scale, effective marketing is about much more than translating words and phrases; it’s about bringing local flavor and meaning to your pitch. From packaging and labeling, to flyers, brochures, online banner ads, landing pages, local email campaigns and even social media posts, you need words and even slang that appeal to local sensibilities, norms and tastes.
3. Make sure your customer service serves local customers.
While many expanding companies invest considerable time and resources into acquiring new customers, they tend to forget that the real work begins once a new customer comes on board. Successful global businesses do everything necessary -- and then some -- to retain customers and keep them happy. One sure way to achieve this is by providing customer care in the local, native tongue. This can be done by creating an in-house team of native language customer service representatives, finding a third party that offers such a service or even using email translation software to help support customers who can’t correspond in English. Not only will the effort be appreciated, it will significantly reduce churn.
4. Ship on time, or ship out.
Imagine how you would feel after waiting days or even weeks for a new smartphone you purchased online, only to discover that due to a shipping gaffe, days turn to weeks and weeks to months. Making sure your business can effectively fill orders and get them to their destinations in a timely manner is paramount to any venture with global aspirations. Make sure your global-distribution plan is reliable and timely, by implementing a supply-chain management strategy such as Drop Shipping or teaming up with a local fulfilment partner. Remember, the old adage “better late than never” doesn’t necessarily apply in the speedy world of ecommerce.
5. Easy payment methods = easier sales.
Make life easier for your global customers by incorporating easy-to-use domestic payment methods. Platforms such as: PayPal, Braintree, Google Wallet (United States only) and Stripe are just a few ecommerce platforms that support the use of multiple languages, currencies, tax and VAT rates.
As the world gets smaller and smaller, there’s no reason your business shouldn’t be getting bigger and bigger. So get going . . . go global.

31 years. It has been 31 years since the line “Come with me if you want to live” was first uttered on the silver screen. Sadly, I was too young to see the original on the big screen, but have watched it dozens upon dozens of times since. Terminator 2 came while I had one of my best summers ever, living in Virginia, and I had the joy of watching it 5 times in the theatre. Watched dozens of times since then. One of my best friends and I planned a judgement day party for August 29, 1997. I even made labels to put on sunblock labeled SPF 2,000,000 – you know so we didn’t have a bad day. I think you can safely assume I am a fan of the mythology and first two movies. I didn’t even hate Edward Furlong.
6 years after that, what do we get?
Let’s start with a two writer script, though obvious credits are given to Gale Anne Hurd and James Cameron for the characters themselves. Laeta Kalogridis, who gave us screenplays for NightWatch (Timur Bembekov’s supernatural thriller) and Shutter Island. Patrick Lussier, he who gave us Dracula 2000 and Drive Angry. Both of these individuals, while having western films under their belt, also lean towards lower budget European films designed for international audiences. I don’t know that I would have picked them to try to reboot and reinvigorate this franchise considering their previous works; which, while I enjoy, are mostly low end popcorn fare or weak on the script but high on atmosphere. Much of these traits can be found here, the script is kinda weak and some of the dialogue is down right painful.
Sarah is fine, the Terminator is fine, John is fine, Kyle is a walking travesty. Part of that goes to the casting director, Ronna Kress who needs a smack upside the head. I have no idea how a person who could cast Mad Max: Fury Road so perfectly could so screw up here. I have to assume studio interference. It is the only logical choice. The other part goes to the studio and director, Alan Taylor (who is best known for his season 2 Game of Thrones episodes). A better director may have gotten a better performance, but I doubt it; but perhaps he could have argued to have a better Kyle Reese.
Yes. I am Guy Pearce. You are welcome.
At least we had Jason Clarke and Emilia Clarke – no relation. While Jason Clarke doesn’t quite carry the beat to hell, hardened military commander that Michael Edwards did in T2 (his stare is bloody iconic). He does a good job at least making me believe he is Connor, a boy who knows the future to a certain point. I like Clarke as an actor with excellent performances in Zero Dark Thirty, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and even The Great Gatsby.
My stare can kill a terminator at 1000 yards.
I at least wear the scars better than Christian Bale.
Emilia has probably the toughest role to play of all the cast. Going from the mother of Dragons to the Mother of the Resistance. She has to fill shoes left by the epic Linda Hamilton who gave us two startlingly amazing performances of a character at two different times in her life. Now, having just watched Terminator (1984), just now while writing this she clearly paid attention to Hamilton and her performance. She hit enunciation, body language, and even lip motions from the first film. While there are moments she over reacts and hits too much emotion for someone who is raised the way she is, overall I buy it. I know other reviewers are having trouble with her, but to be honest I think she did well. She didn’t have an easy job or good script, but did very well with what she did. While the writers clearly didn’t get Kyle, they did get Sarah and some of her reactions were spot on.
I can’t finish talking about the cast without talking about Arnie. The role is like an old glove that he slipped into. He was on the mark 100%. He also could tell this film wasn’t great, but makes sure to let you know HE is enjoying himself. Honestly, this is the Arnie I miss. Even as a bloody cyborg he overshadowed almost everyone on screen with the weight and charisma of his performance.
From a technicals standpoint? It suffers as so many movies do these days. It is too clean. Too polished. Their post-apocalypse is all shiny and chrome, with beautiful body armor and fashion models for soldiers. Even the current timeline they give us has the same problem. There’s no grit, no weight, and no atmosphere to this. Ultimately a lot of movies in the past decade suffer from this, where there is no atmospheric heart to help sell the movie and the world. It is just meh and you don’t care. The CG work on the Terminators has not improved since 1991. Thats right 24 years later and not only has it not improved – it got worse. The computer effects are just down right awful. Nothing is redeeming about them. Not a thing. There’s also not enough practical effects in the future scenes to make me buy it. Both Terminator and Terminator 2 had just the right amount of practical to let me believe there was an HK rolling into position to kill Kyle. That a flying HK was moving overhead chasing our heroes was there. The only technical effect that works is the de-aged Arnie for the 1984 T-800. I liked it. I looked for flaws and nothing screamed at me, even as the reproduced the original shot from 1984.
I want to hate this film. I really want to hate it. I can’t. I almost feel like I owe them an apology for lambasting them so badly before the film. It isn’t great. It doesn’t redeem the franchise in any way shape or form, but it is better than the last two laughable attempts at a movie with the Terminator name attached. I did laugh and enjoy all the callbacks to the original two movies, there’s plenty of lines there that will bring out the nostalgia factor, which did make me look more favorably on it. It felt like they were at least trying – even if they failed. I did care about Sarah at least.
If you were curious – go in with low expectations. You will probably be entertained.
If you need MST3k bait, it’s there if you need it.
If you hate that it’s PG13 – you should. It doesn’t have any real power due to the MPAA.
I will say that the 3D is pointless and even the XD sound system was wasted without the original theme playing at epic levels of volume.
All in all – if you don’t want to see Jurassic World again this weekend and aren’t saving up for Ant-Man – go ahead. You probably will find yourself enjoying the nostalgia factor at least. It is at least fun.
Pixels is also coming out, but I am debating this…will probably boycott to avoid giving Adam Sandler and his problematic productions money.
Emelia Clarke seems to be a good Sarah Connor. I don’t mind the concept of the timeline being altered in this way. It should bother me, but doesn’t.
Jai Courtney still doesn’t work for me at all, much less as Kyle Reese. He just fails. Michael Beihn felt like a solider who had been fighting a very long long time. Courtney still looks like an Abercrombie model.
Jason Clarke is close enough to the older John Connor. I can buy him as the leader who has seen too much.

Practical and decorative bird feeder with a free standing design. Its durable construction is able to resist negative weather factors and many forms of damage caused by different birds. Its octagonal base provides good stability.
It can be easy to feed precious creatures such as birds. However, more often than not, novice birders make simple mistakes which can keep the animals from enjoying their feeders. Although some mistakes can only make the feeders unattractive, there may be some that you commit unknowingly which can endanger their lives or even traumatize them from ever coming back.
To ensure you provide your garden a new stunning addition and give several bird species a nutritious buffet, keep on reading as we’ve prepared a buying guide on freestanding bird feeders.
There are several forms of wildlife which will gladly raid the feeders of birds. Squirrels, rats, deer, raccoons, and even bears are known to snack at feeders. This means the supply of seeds for the birds you’re hoping to feed will be depleted.
Also, unprotected feeders can expose these beautiful animals to predators, especially when the senses of birds are dulled when they're feeding. The best freestanding bird feeder, therefore, is one that’s designed to be predator-proof.
Additionally, you can apply a coat of oil at the base and pole of your bird feeder to make it really slippery that rats and other predators won’t get to the actual feeder.
As you wouldn’t want to harm the animals, choose the freestanding bird feeder that doesn’t have any sharp points or edges. Select the design that allows the animals to perch as well to keep the seeds or suet cakes from being soiled. If possible, get more than one bird feeder so the birds get ample space while feasting on your treats. It will also help avoid overcrowding.
Birds expel in the same place where they eat; therefore, you will be tasked to sanitize and clean the bird feeders regularly. If you are looking for a feeder that's easy to clean and can be kept germ-free, don’t opt for wood or clay as both of them are absorbent. They are also difficult to sanitize. Instead, go for the one made of either glass, steel or plastic.
Bird feeding is like all other investments you make. It takes commitment and research to take care of lives. Overall, the feeder you choose should be one that’s easily filled, cleaned, and emptied.
Perching - A perching feeder comes with a seed chamber at the center of the unit with multiple feeding ports. A common perching feeder is the tube type.
Platform - A platform feeder is for ground-feeding bird species that prefer to eat on an open platform that’s elevated several feet from the ground like field sparrows, juncos, and tree sparrows. These birds love white proso millet. For cardinals and grosbeaks, you can give them black-oil sunflower seed as that's what they are attracted to.
Clinging - A clinging freestanding bird feeder is for clingers like nuthatches, chickadees, and woodpeckers. Their preference is to grab their food. A good clinging feeder is a suet feeder. Suet cakes can be added into it or compressed seeds that are glued together using non-toxic glue.
Easy to fill and maintain, with a funnel-shaped opening on the feed, this freestanding bird feeder can be a nice, charming accent in your patio or garden. Its heavy duty base makes it a long-lasting proposition, that will serve its role for years.

This video demo shows how to improve, add detail and finetune existing Poser meshes using a FBM and Sculpt projections.
The demo is using Pauline this time, but these procedures can be used on all Poser figures.
It is a follow-up video on a previous video on how to project High Res sculpts into your figures using the Morph brush fitting tool.
Best regards, and : Have fun using the Poser tools, Tony.
awesome tutorial! bravo! I have a question. why not make the brush huge and wave it over the figure once to put the sculpt into your poser guy with the morphing brush and save yourself all that time?
Because I was running multiple apps at the same time, and because the video capture is also slowing Poser down, I kept the brush relatively small . That way Poser has to do fewer calculations at the same time to transfer the sculpt.
When I close eveything down, and without the video capturing running, one can keep the brush larger to transfer more verts in a single pass.
On Pauline, (about 18.000 for the outside skin), I can get a Sculpt at SubD lever 3 to transfer relatively fast.
For the PoserPro Lo Res male, a sculpt at SubD level 4 goes also fast.
Man, man, man, I continued experimenting this evening, and the amount of detail one can sculpt and transfer is amazing.
I morph the figure in Blender. => Morph , that is without SubD. => Then export as obj from Blender to use as a FBM in Poser.
Then I add a SubD modifier to the morphed figure in Blender and sculpt that one to get the finer details.
In Poser, I first load the FBM, and then load the SubD sculpted Prop, and then transfer the Sculpt from the Prop into the already morphed figure.
@vilters try making the brush huge and so everything is all red, and then just give the brush a wiggle once. that is all it needs.
Hi Ester, sorry but my tests show that using a HUGE brush is not ideal.
A lot of the functions in modern Poser depend on symmetry.
So it is best to work on one side only and then let Poser "Mirror" to the other side.
Even when you start with a perfect symmetrical figure like Paul-Pauline or Rex-Roxie, and even with symmetry checked ON in your external 3D app (Blender in this case) when sculpting very high res meshes, symmetry gets lost.
And then the end user ends up with a figure that is not symmetrical any more.
Yes, even with symmetry checked ON, Blender looses symmetry when sculpting at very high SubD levels.
@vilters don't apologise. I like to learn. I have a M3 character I really like. I wonder if I will be able to transfer it to M4 using a similar method.
What I demo works as good as it does (you should see what's on my screen now), because I use the same obj file.
You can transfer one body shape from one obj file (M3), into another obj file (M4), but you have to work around some limitations.
You will have to scale and reposition the "donor" obj a lot.
Ears and nose will certainly become problematic too.
Work with a very small brush in the head.
What I would certainly do, is export your morphed M3 as a single welded prop, and import that one as the "donor" figure obj.
Ester, unfortunately my Poser time for today is over, but you should see what I am doing now. ==> You will, one of the next days. :-) Stay tuned. The possibilities of the 2 procedures in the video's are breathtaking for Poser figures.

A former soldier from Cringleford was found guilty on Wednesday of killing a dog walker in a frenzied knife attack in woodlands near East Harling last summer.
The jury took less than an hour to convict Alexander Palmer of murdering Peter Wrighton in the Norfolk woodland.
The body of the married father and grandfather from Banham, was discovered on The Heath on Saturday, August 5 last year.
A post-mortem examination revealed the 83-year old died from multiple stab wounds to the neck and head.
Palmer, 24, of Freesia Way, Cringleford, who served with the British Army between 2010 and 2015, was charged with Mr Wrighton’s murder, but pleaded not guilty.
Following a trial at Nottingham Crown Court, a jury on Wednesday convicted him of the murder.
The jury of eight women and four men were sent out at just after 10.30am and returned its unanimous guilty verdict at 11.30am.
Palmer, who was dressed in a dark suit, shook his head as the verdict was announced.
He mouthed the words “I love you” to his family as the judge sent him down to the cells.
The Honourable Mr Justice Goose, adjourned the case until tomorrow for sentencing, but said life imprisonment was the sentence, by law, he must pass with the only issue the minimum term.
Speaking after the trial ended on Wednesday Mr Wrighton’s family said the killer had been let down by mental health services.
The trial heard that before the killing, Palmer had made notes referring to voices in his head about killing people with knives.
Palmer suffered mental health problems after being attacked by fellow soldiers on a night out in Plymouth in 2013.

He had serious head injuries from the attack and quit the army in 2015.
After that he experienced hallucinations with voices in his head, which Palmer dubbed Alex or Little Alex.
Police were called to woodland near the Fiveways Junction at about 10.45am on August 5 last year.
The death was initially treated as unexplained with police later admitting an animal attack was considered as one of the possible causes.
But a murder inquiry was launched two days later after a post-mortem examination found the victim appeared to have been “subjected to a serious assault” with multiple stab wounds to his head and neck.
More than 100 officers were involved in the hunt for the killer as part of a massive operation which resulted in officers receiving hundreds of calls.
Palmer, formerly of Old Buckenham, was arrested a week after the discovery of Mr Wrighton’s body.
The arrest prompted searches at a number of addresses across Norfolk, including Freesia Way, Cringleford and another in Bawdeswell, where he was arrested.
As a 16-year-old Palmer received a top grade after a gruelling selection process and in September 2010 was due to start training at the Army Foundation College in Harrogate.
A British Army spokesman confirmed Palmer had served in the Army from September 2010 to November 2015 but would not provide any further details.
Mr Wrighton, a former BT worker, was described as “a lovely, gentle husband, dad and grandfather” who loved walking his dogs, Gemma and Dylan.
Detective Superintendent Marina Ericson, who was the senior investigating officer in the case, said: “I believe Palmer to be callous and extremely calculated in his approach to Peter’s death.
“It was a premeditated and predatory killing. Palmer took the opportunity of Peter walking alone with no one else around to launch an attack on an elderly, frail man knowing he would be unable to defend himself.
“Officers first on the scene described the incident as an animal attack and I think that description is still accurate. Palmer is a dangerous individual who was truly animalistic in his actions.
“With the murder taking place in a very rural location, the investigation was made more difficult by the lack of direct witnesses to this vicious attack. However, members of the public and local residents made over 300 calls to the force within the first days of Peter’s death and I am grateful for the information this provided the enquiry.
“No connection with the victim has ever been established and limited forensic opportunities meant it took the full resources of the constabulary and mutual aid from other forces to locate and bring the right offender to justice.
• Between 10.08am and 10.12am, Peter Wrighton is seen on CCTV buying items in Kenninghall Post Office. Afterwards , he drives in his red Skoda to woodlands in East Harling to walk his two dogs. The 4.5-mile drive usually takes about 15mins.
• At 10.46am Mr Wrighton’s body is discovered by dog walkers.
• Extensive Home Office Post-mortem examination carried out.
• Murder investigation launched after post-mortem reveals victim had been subjected to a serious assault.
• Members of the public urged to check their bins for a possible weapon and send in CCTV or dashcam footage which they hope might clues. Unusually police release description of victim, but not identity, during press conference.
• Police name murder victim as Peter Wrighton. He is described by his family as a “lovely”, “gentle” man.
• CCTV footage of the last moments of Mr Wrighton’s life is released, as police release details of three people they wish to speak to in connection with the attack.
• Appeal posters are released by police who have more than 100 officers working on the case.
• As police carry out anniversary checks in East Harling a week after Mr Wrighton’s body was found it emerges that a man in his 20s has been arrested.
• Police charge 23-year-old Alex Palmer with the murder of Mr Wrighton.
• Palmer goes on trial at Nottingham Crown Court after having denied murder.

Edited by prominent vascular surgeons in the USA and UK, the book tackles the epidemiology and etiology of atherosclerosis and how to evaluate patients with vascular disease. Specific vascular diseases are then covered and their treatment options discussed. Vascular Surgery adopts a transatlantic approach so that chapters are written either by a practitioner in the USA or UK, and each chapter is critically appraised by a colleague who provides a potentially alternative perspective.
This book is key reading for trainees in vascular surgery, as well as for surgery trainees in general. It would also be useful to those who have already qualified but might need further knowledge of this important field.

The draw of lots for next year’s Haj will be conducted in the second week of January with more than three lakh people applying for the pilgrimage through the the Haj Committee of India till now, a senior official said Sunday.
Out of the applications, over 1,000 applicants are women who hope to go on the pilgrimage without a ‘Mehram’.
The Government of India has for the first time decided to allow women pilgrims over the age of 45 to undertake the pilgrimage in groups of at least four sans ‘Mehram’.
Till now, women pilgrims would be required to be accompanied by ‘Mehram’ during the annual pilgrimage.
“India and Saudi Arabia will sign an agreement related to Haj on January 15,” Chief Executive Office of the Haj committee Maqsood Ahmed Khan told PTI Bhasha.
He said the committee will push for raising the Haj quota. At present, India has a quota of 1.7 lakh pilgrims.
This will be the first Haj under the new Haj policy.
Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi will visit Saudi Arabia on January 7 to sign an agreement on issues related to Haj.
Talking about the draw of lots, Khan said this time more transparency will be maintained so that first timers can get a chance to go on the pilgrimage.
People often complain about lack of transparency in the draw due to which several people get many chances to go for the pilgrimage while some do not get even a single chance.
The draw will be conducted between January 8-15, he said.
More than three lakh people have applied for the pilgrimage till Friday evening, he said.
The last day to apply for the pilgrimage has been extended to December 22 from December 7.

On 6th September1620 one hundred Puritans boarded the ‘Mayflower’ bound for the New World. These people were the Pilgrim Fathers. They viewed England, their homeland, as being an unfit place to live and raise their children. The diaries of William Bradford – one of the pilgrim leaders – tells us that they believed they were suffering from religious oppression and prejudice that they sought a new start in the New World.
On November 9th, 1620, the ‘Mayflower’ sighted what is now Cape Cod. Despite seeing land, the crew of the ‘Mayflower’ searched for another month to find somewhere to land. Where they eventually landed was called New Plymouth. On December 25th, after finding a place where the ‘Mayflower’ could be safely anchored, the Pilgrim Fathers began to build their first settlement. The rest, as they say, is history.

Places and takes out items in Hoppers, Chests, Furnaces, Chest Minecart, Dispensers, and Brewing Stands. Still W.I.P.
Gives out a signal depending on the amount of players looking inside. 1 person = 1 signal, 2 people = 2, etc.
Crafted with a Chest and a Tripwire Hook.
Large Trapped Chests can be staggered with Large Chests to allow more compact storage.
Texture is slightly different than a normal chest.
Crafting recipe is 2x2 Nether Bricks.
Holding down the left and right mouse buttons and dragging when holding an item now splits the items across the boxes you dragged over. Left button splits them equally across the boxes and leaves the remainder in your hand. Right mouse button drops them one by one as you drag.
Double-clicking an item stacks as much of that item in your inventory as possible (up to a full stack) and picks it up without stacking any other loose stacks together.
Double-shift-clicking an item in a chest moves all of that item into your inventory neatly stacked into as few stacks as possible. The opposite is also true, moving all the items to the chest in as few stacks as possible.
Breaking a block with a Redstone Torch on the side of the block doesn't break the torch.
In Creative mode, there are nine empty spaces in Building Blocks.
When making an Iron Golem, only the top iron block is used.
When using hoppers to place items into or take items out of minecarts, it works with other minecarts and not just chest minecarts.

Double click items to fill the stack up as much as possible.
Drag item stacks around to divide them up over the dragged-over slots.

⇧ Shift+ double click items in a crafting area to place all items in the inventory.
⇧ Shift+ double click an item stack to move all other item stacks of that kind to that part of the inventory.
Pressing Q while the mouse is over an item in the inventory or a container will drop it.
Held armor can be equipped by right-clicking.

When we think of sight, we may not always remember that it goes far beyond that which we can see with our physical eyes. The type of seeing, the visions that I will be talking about today, while they interact and manifest eventually in the physical realm, are those born from within us and act as seeds planted within our own imaginations.
As humans with free-will, we always have the choice what to do with those seeds. We can leave them alone to die or we can care for and tend to our visions and therefore harvest for ourselves a life full of endless potential.
You see we ALL have far more power that we’ve ever been told and I won’t leave it up to chance that anyone ever will tell you if you haven’t figured it out for yourself yet…so here goes. Our minds, our very thoughts that we allow to take form from the pulling of potentialities within our imaginations, are creating our lives. And everyone around us, conscious of it or not, are doing the same exact thing.
Thoughts, like everything else in existence, are energy and are catalyzed with feeling based on your intent, which ultimately is a major determining factor is the form with which it manifests into reality. But all thoughts…backed with belief and emotion, that are repeated enough to have taken habitual form can be considered tools within your creative toolbox. And it is not your fault that you were never taught you even had a toolbox. It is, however, in your best interest to learn how to use it to best serve your life and your heart-driven desires.
Which takes us to my next topic…How we do we know ourselves? Do we really know what we like, want, and desire? Or do we accept what we’ve been guided into by other people that simply know what they like, want, and desire? What I’m getting at is, a person born into a family of a very strict religion, etc. will, by human nature if left to their own devices, eventually seek to explore “the other side” of it.
Why’s that? Because when something is constricting us so tightly that it interferes with our actual BE-ing, our authentic self, the reality of who we are under labels, past mistakes and expectations…we naturally seek to EXPAND. Think about it, when we feel stuffy in a crowd, we need to get away and fresh air alone. If we feel pressured to go to medical school, but secretly feel we will fail because our heart lies with interior design…then we will eventually EXPAND into that truth.
It will manifest as what parents might “see” (yes those quotes are intentional LOL) as rebellion, disrespect or an intentional disregard for the “success” (meant those too) of the family because it is breaking the comfort of commonality and continual CONSTRICTION. And this is why it’s so important to be mindful our not only our own actions but the effect of our own thoughts and expectations that we place onto others. What we might feel as a positive expansive act may be a completely negative and constricting experience for another person.
Tie this all together and it paints a nice picture of how we develop our self-image and self-esteem as children and why it is so important to maintain and healthy vision about who we are AS WE ARE NOW. Limiting thoughts that convince us that we are undeserving until…or not good enough until… speak of needing us to change something to receive acceptance, acknowledgment or even love in some cases and that is so terribly sad. How about we teach to love ourselves first and see where that takes us, rather than teaching that our worth comes from what the world thinks of us and forcing our children to mold themselves around those expectations.
We lose our innocence that way, a spark of our creative soul loses its glimmer and I again find that so terribly sad as it is unnecessary. When we can see ourselves in a healthy light and know that no matter what the world thinks of us we are never undeserving of love, we live AS love and have a much greater chance of raising children that bare witness to you doing this and end up doing it themselves.
Remember, children are REACTING for the first 7 years of life. They cannot help it as we are designed to soak up the world around through our sensory perceptions in order to learn and protect ourselves. Perhaps if we can teach them to instead respond from their hearts, via leading by example. And only then does a child have the ability to merge into the next stage of life with RECEPTIVITY that is objective, not subjective and at the will of others’ opinions.

We can’t decide whether to laugh or cry at the latest in a series of many, many, many, many things that would’ve been a months-long media scandal. That is, had Trump not decided to try and get them ALL done in his first year as president.
We’re not going to list them, as there’s just too damn many of them. Just yesterday Trump tried to attack Comey for lying. Again, without providing evidence. He continued his row with the NFL and got driven into a defensive stance on his call to a Gold Star widow. He had told her ‘your guy’ (apparently not knowing Sgt. La David T. Johnson’s name) knew what he signed up for. And now, apparently, there’s Fake Melania.
Yes, you read that right. For some reason, Trump thought it’d be a great idea (the best, the very best) to bring in a fake First Lady on TV.
Twitter user Joe Vargas was apparently the first to notice Fake Melania after Trump called attention to the presence of Melania, apparently trying to reïnforce the idea that it was, in fact, Melania. Vargas got suspicious and started comparing faces.
Well, he’s right. That is definitely not Melania. Hey, Donald, care to explain why you have a fake wife strolling about? Kind of reminds us of Saddam Hussein or Moammar al-Qadhafi and their body doubles. What gives?
That leads us to something else though: could we have a fake Trump? One who, like Fake Melania, looks kind of like the real deal, but isn’t? Don’t worry, the orange and fake hair can stay, but skip on the insanity, the narcisissm and such. And maybe give him a couple of IQ points extra, while we’re at it. We could probably all benefit from a Fake Donald Trump.
A furloughed scientist used her time during the shutdown to factcheck Trump's "border crisis"
Donald Trump tweeted "Thank you". But... thank whom? And why?
"What a crowd, what a turnout!"
"He is a racist. He is a conman. He is a cheat."
I got a fever. And the only prescription. Is more cowbell!
An idea is like a virus, resilient, highly contagious and the smallest seed of an idea can grow to define of destroy you.
Coffins, caskets and shrouds: how to die ‘green’.
There’s plenty to fear when you have ‘nothing’ to hide It was hard to know who was more crazy… me… or everyone else.

Dec. 6, 2012. Santee the river otter, believed to be around age 13, has passed away after a battle with lung cancer. After noticing his breathing pattern had suddenly become irregular, trainers took him to the veterinarian on Monday where he succumbed to the disease. An autopsy later revealed his condition to be cancer, covering the majority of his lungs.
Santee came to live on Grandfather Mountain in February 2002 when he was around one and a half years old. He arrived with his friend, Nottaway, to a not-so-welcoming couple of girls, Oconee and Nola. Santee’s introduction to his new friends was a very slow, careful process that took over a month.
Due to him having such an aggressive personality, their first meetings involved a lot of screaming, wrestling and chasing. Despite all their disagreements, Santee soon had two new friends.
Santee was very intelligent, handsome and tended to be a bit lazy at times. He loved taking naps, tunneling in leaf piles, sliding in the snow, snorting at his keepers and chasing live fish. Santee was often seen carrying leaves, pine needles or branches to his bed in order to make his nap as pleasant as possible.
Known affectionately as “the walrus” on account of his large size, Santee will always be remembered as a favorite of the Habitat staff. Santee is survived by Oconee, Nottaway and Luna, the three other river otters of Grandfather Mountain. Luna and Nottaway can be viewed in the otter enclosure at the Grandfather Mountain Animal Habitats.

This Friday the venerable Milele Roots will be taking over JJ’s Bohemia, along with special guests Road to Nightfall and ReverseFerret, in what promises to be one of the most rollicking feel-good parties of the season.
For over two decades, Milele Roots has been an icon of Chattanooga music, with their instantly recognizable blend of reggae and funk. A band simply does not enjoy that sort of longevity or consistent popularity without knowing how to throw down properly and the group’s staggering reputation is hard won and well earned.
No less impressive are Road to Nightfall and relative newcomer ReverseFerret. The combined talent and shared musicians blurs the line between whether JJ’s is presenting three excellent bands, or one supergroup of some of the area’s most talented players.
Come early, stay late, and go home feeling better than you did when you came. This Friday at 9 p.m., JJ’s Bohemia will be the happiest place in town.

A policy change by the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) will help parents who receive welfare benefits and whose children have been removed by the Ministry of Child and Family Development (MCFD) due to alleged child protection concerns. This change took effect on May 3, 2011.
a continuing custody order is made in regard to the children (i.e., the child is placed in the permanent custody of MCFD).
Before this policy change, shelter benefits would include the children only if MCFD confirmed they would be returned to the parent’s care within 3 months. This meant many parents had to move into smaller, cheaper places that were often not appropriate for children to be returned to and children were kept in foster care longer, impeding family reunification.
Our thanks to Alison Ward, lawyer at the Community Legal Assistance Society, for providing the above entry.
Effective September 1, 2011, families who receive benefits from the Ministry of Social Development through the Child in the Home of a Relative (CIHR) Program, and who started to receive CIHR benefits before 2007 will be required to undergo screening checks. In 2007, the BC Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD) introduced screening for all new CIHR applicants. Families who were already receiving CIHR benefits were exempt. The ministry recently reviewed this decision, and added screening for all families receiving CIHR benefits as a precautionary step to help ensure that no children are being put at risk.
If another adult (aged 18 or over) moves into the home or another child in the home turns 18, that person must agree to be screened by MCFD for continued CIHR eligibility.
MCFD will use the information obtained by these checks to decide whether the household poses any evidence of risk to the child on whose behalf CIHR benefits are paid.
Families must participate in the screening process to continue to receive CIHR benefits. Caregivers who agree to the screening will continue to receive CIHR benefits as long as the child remains in their home.
The ministry says that screening will begin with families caring for the youngest and most vulnerable children, and that they plan to complete the screening process by March 2012.
This change in policy affects families caring for approximately 1,800 children and youth in BC. Affected families will receive letters notifying them of the new policy and requesting that they fill out consent forms agreeing to both kinds of checks.
For more information about changes to the CIHR policy, and about the Extended Family Program (the program that replaces CIHR for all new applicants), please visit the BC government website.
Our thanks to Alison Ward, Community Advocate Support Line lawyer at the Community Legal Assistance Society for providing the above entry.
With its improved content and broader scope, the revised Parents’ Rights, Kids’ Rights will continue to help you in dealing with child protection issues.
To order free printed copies, please visit the Crown Publications website.
The clear graphic presentation will help lawyers and advocates explain the child protection process to parents who are dealing with this issue. This flow chart will also appear in the next edition of Parents’ Rights, Kids’ Rights, expected out in the spring.

eBooks Floating Staircase [PDF] by Ronald Malfi 100% free!
Following the success of his latest novel, Travis Glasgow and his wife Jodie buy their first house in the seemingly idyllic western Maryland town of Westlake. At first, everything is picture perfect - from the beautiful lake behind the house to the rebirth of the friendship between Travis and his brother, Adam, who lives nearby. Travis also begins to overcome the darkness of his childhood and the guilt he's harbored since his younger brother's death - a tragic drowning veiled in mystery that has plagued Travis since he was 13. Soon, though, the new house begins to lose its allure. Strange noises wake Travis at night, and his dreams are plagued by ghosts. Barely glimpsed shapes flit through the darkened hallways, but strangest of all is the bizarre set of wooden stairs that rises cryptically out of the lake behind the house. Travis becomes drawn to the structure, but the more he investigates, the more he uncovers the house's violent and tragic past, and the more he learns that some secrets cannot be buried forever.
In 2009, his crime drama, Shamrock Alley, won a Silver IPPY Award. In 2011, his ghost story/mystery novel, Floating Staircase, was a finalist for the Horror Writers Association Bram Stoker Award for best novel, received a Gold IPPY Award for best horror novel, and the Vincent Preis International Horror Award. His novel Cradle Lake garnered him the Benjamin Franklin Independent Book Award (silver) in 2014, while December Park, his epic coming-of-age thriller, won the Beverly Hills International Book Award for suspense in 2015.

Donald Trump, current leader of the Know-Nothing Party, can be described in five words: extremely loud and dangerously gross. When he speaks, phrases are strung together in ways that sometimes resemble English sentences. But what is the actual meaning of his word-salad rants?
Is it possible to run a major political campaign using undefined slogans, unconstitutional proposals, and bigoted rhetoric? For a conservative, apparently, yes!
That’s what has happened in the Party of Stupid as they have kowtowed to the malignant misshapen mass of bile known as Donald J. Trump, the blubbery reality TV star and holder of both sides of most issues.
What, exactly, does Trump mean when he pops off with one ridiculous statement after another? We’re here to help with some translations from Trumpspeak into English.

Feeling dirty after an epic adventure or long day on the road? Whether your wanderlust takes you camping in the Sahara desert of Morocco, surfing in Bali, or staying at a low-budget guesthouse in the middle of Laos, showers and water are not always available in all accommodations. An awesome alternative to cleaning your body is through Epic Wipes!
Epic wipes is a high-quality, towel sized, bamboo wet wipe that is are individually packaged life-size wet towel. The founder, Dr. Aeneas Janze, came up with the idea when he was stationed in Afghanistan during a hot summer day. While deployed, he visited combat outposts without any showers. As a doctor, he quickly recognized that soldiers health suffered when hygiene suffered. Most soldiers tried to make do with wet wipe showers. But as you can imagine, showering with a million little wipes wasn’t very satisfying. Dr. Janze noticed that his fellow soldiers needed something they did not have. When showers were unavailable, they needed a portable yet powerful way to clean up and feel ready for what might come next.
For the last three years, he’s been working at perfecting the design for the largest, highest quality, bamboo, towel sized wet wipe. Epic wipes are made of biodegradable materials, are toxin free and contain antibacterial essential oils. The massive wet wipes which is 16x larger than the average wet wipe, are gentle on your body and respectful of our Earth. They could become a staple in the most seasoned traveler’s backpack for any adventure! From time spent adventuring off the beaten path to a quick clean-up before hopping on a plane, bus, or train.
My boyfriend tried it out after a day playing polo and felt refreshed and clean enough to meet friends for a night out! They are compact and easy to pack in your luggage as I brought 2 for my current trip in Croatia and Sri Lanka. Works great for those “just in case” days, and without the sticky residue that many other wipes have.
The Kickstarter just launched and I highly recommend trying them out. You can order some Epic Wipes for your next trip or a day at the beach through pledges at different levels. There is also an option to donate boxes to the US Troops or The American Red Cross. So not only are you staying clean, but also giving back!
Individual wipes will cost $2.99 while a box will be $29.99 with free shipping.

Fourteen snake species are native to Massachusetts. Most are harmless and relatively small. Many barely reach 3 feet in length, while others don't reach 12 inches. Their habitats run the gamut from suburban backyards, woodlands, wetlands, farmland and the remaining wild areas of the state.
Only two venomous snakes live in the Bay State: the timber rattlesnake and the northern copperhead. Both live in rocky, forested, isolated areas and are rarely seen by humans. They're protected under the federal Endangered Species Act. The timber rattlesnake's body varies in color, with shades ranging from yellow to brown, gray or black. The timber rattler boasts V-shaped crossbands along the back, with a rattle on the end of his dark tail. The snake matures between 36 and 60 inches. The northern copperhead's body is pink to gray-brown, with narrow brown or red crossbands on the back and wider bands on the sides. The crossbands on the back usually have small dark spots between them. The head is orange, rust, or copper. The northern copperhead ranges in size from 24 to 36 inches.
The harmless and common eastern milk snake shares some of the bold patterns of the venomous types. People unfamiliar with this primarily nocturnal rodent consumer might mistake it for the copperhead and kill it, even though killing a copperhead is illegal. An easy way to tell the difference is to check the head -- the copperhead has no stripes there, while the eastern milk snake does. The milk snake matures between 24 to 36 inches.
The common garter snake, maturing between 18 and 26 inches long, is easily recognized by the yellow stripes on a dark body. You can find these snakes just about anywhere that worms and amphibians, their favorite meals, exist.
Northern water snakes are found -- you guessed it -- in or near the water. Their habitats include rivers, lakes, streams and wetland areas, where they dine on fish and tadpoles. Ranging in size from 22 to 42 inches, these thick snakes have black, brown or red crossbands by their heads and, further down, alternating spots on their sides and backs. They're sometimes mistaken for water moccasins, which don't live in Massachusetts.
Although common, the small ringneck snake is seldom seen. Maturing between 10 and 15 inches, this black snake is easily identified by a yellow neck band. Feasting on bugs, salamanders and worms, ringnecks usually live in wet, wooded areas.
The large black racer, a giant by the standards of most other Bay State snakes at 36 to 60 inches, is dark with smooth scales. Parts of the head and throat are white. Found all over the state, in many habitats, the black racer eats small mammals, insect and other snakes, including his own young.

CREAM was created, produced and directed by critically acclaimed actor Clayton Prince. Prince, best known for roles in The Cosby Show, Hairspray and Dark Justice, runs Magic Management Entertainment, a Philadelphia-based production company.
What makes Cream special is the original music that we feature in the show. The music is almost like a character that everyone loves for one reason or another. The show is unique because we speak about subjects most networks are afraid to deal with; but are important to most people.
Even though the show is set at a Hip Hop/ R&B record label, it will show issues everyone can relate to, and need to talk about after watching CREAM.
