Cliffhanger-Made in 1993 by Renny Harlin-Stars Sylvester Stallone as Gabe Walker, a mountain climber forced into a game of cat and mouse with a forger in the Rocky Mountains.Did You Know?-The parachute the base jumper deploys on his escape from the villains depicts the Finnish flag-The teddy bear that falls off the cliff in the opening scene added at the last minute to give everyone an idea of how truly deep the chasm was.-Stallone, who is a golf player, said that rock climbing roughed up his hands-During filming, an electrical storm struck, hitting 5 crew members-Was set in Colorado, but filmed in the Dolomites of ItalyPlot-In the opening scene, mountain climber and rescue ranger Gabe Walker(Sylvester Stallone) and his friend, fellow ranger Jessie Deighan(Janine Turner) are dispatched to pick up their friend Hal Tucker(Michael Rooker) and his girlfriend Sarah(Michelle Joyner) on a narrow peak in the Rocky Mountains called "The Tower". While moving from one mountaintop to the helicopter via steel cable, Hal's girlfriend Sarah's harness breaks and she is left dangling over a deep chasm. While the others try to come up with a way to save her, Gabe straps on to the cable to go and save her. It's unsuccessful; her gloved hand slips through his and she falls 4,000 feet to her death in the chasm-8 months later, Gabe returns to town for the first time since Sarah's funeral and he is overcome with guilt, thinking he could have done more. He has returned only to pack up his remaining stuff and leave permanently and also convince Jessie to come with him. A radio distress call comes to the local rescue center where Hal and Jessie work. Hal heads off to find the climbers. Battling personal problems, Gabe works with Hal on the mountain, where Hal, still angry, almost throws Gabe off a ledge.-The rescue turns out to be a false report; the 2 climbers are taken prisoner by a gang of theives led by Eric Qualen(John Lithgow), who wants to recover 3 suitcases filled with $100 million in uncirculated $1,000 bills belonging to the United States Department of the Treasury. With the help of a turncoat Treasury agent named Richard Travers(Rex Linn), Qualen and his mercenaries attempt to steal the suitcases via an air-to-air transfer, but the cable breaks and the suitcases are lost. The thieves' plane, due to loss of power, crashes and now the suitcases holding the money have beacon locators in them, enabling them to track them, and due to the treacherous mountain terrain, they summon Gabe and Hal to help them find them-The group comes to the first of 3 suitcases, Gabe is tethered to a rope and ordered to climb a steep wall to get it. Gabe frees himself from the rope and begins scrambling up the mountain, causing an avalanche which takes out Heldon(Denis Forest) down, one of Qualen's guys. Seeing the money fly by, Qualen presumes Gabe is dead and orders the group to proceed-Gabe suvives the avalanche and makes his way to an abandoned cabin where he finds Jessie, who got airlifted into the area earlier. He is half frozen from climbing the mountain wearing only a thin sleeveless muscle shirt and Jessie finds him clothes to wear. Together, they reach the 2nd case before Qualen does. They find the case empty except for a $1,000 bill with "Want to Trade?" written on it. They split up to find Gabe, while Qualen's mercenaries Ryan(Gregory Scott Cummins) chases after Gabe and Jessie. They both slide down a hill, fighting and the thug is killed when he flies down into an abyss as Gabe is hanging onto the edge for dear life. 2 of Hal's friends, casually hanging on the mountain, run into Hal and the theives. Hal tells them to run and as they do, one is shot dead by Qualen's mercenary Kynette(Leon Robinson). The other parachutes off the cliff, where he gets caught in a tree, leaving him dangling. When Gabe makes an attempt to climb out of a crevice, he is seen by Kynette. A fight occurs between the 2, resulting in Kynette being impaed on a stalactite. Gabe tries to pick up the theif's radio to call the rescue chopper, but Hal alerts him that Qualen is planting explosives directly above him and plans to kill him, with Gabe and Jessie barely escaping-The thieves, with Hal as their guide, make their way to the cabin for the night. Elsewhere, Gabe and Jessie hole up in a cave and stay warm by burning the money. The chopper pilot, Frank(Ralph Waite), not knowing of any response from Jessie, Gabe or Hal, flies over the mountain, where he finds Hal's friend stuck in a tree, frees him and transports him to safety, alerting the police-The next morning, Gabe and Jessie try to beat the theives to the last case. Kristel(Caroline Goodall) flags down the chopped. Against orders from Qualen, Delmar(Craig Fairbass) shoots Frank. Hal crawls over to Frank and he gives Hal a knife. Hal sticks it in his boot and the thieves walk over to the chopper. Travers points a gun at Qualen, telling everyone that he is now in charge. Qualen informs them that without someone to pilot the chopper, they are stranded and shoots Kristel dead-Again, with leverage over Travers, Qualen tells Travers, Hal and Delmar to track the case. Once close to the case, Travers tells Delmar to kill Hal, only to find Gabe has beaten them to the punch. Delmar nearly beats Hal and kicks him off a cliff, but Hal stabs him in the leg and shoots the thug with his own shotgun. Elsewhere, Jessie, who signaled the rescue chopper, thinking it's Frank, is taken hostage by Qualen. Travers finds that Gabe has found the last case before him and chases him, causing Gabe to fall into the frozen river. Under the ice, Gabe outsmarts Travers and shoots the Treasury agent with his bolt gun 3 times. His body is now being carried away by the river.-Communicating by radio, Qualen and Gabe make a deal to exchange the money for Jessie. Qualen releases Jessie, but Gabe tricks him by throwing the money into the rotating blades of the chopper. In the confusion, Qualen's chopper falls, getting stuck on a steel ladder down the side of the mountain. Gabe and Qualen fight atop the wreck. Gabe manages to jump off as the chopper falls several thousand feet and explodes. Later, Tucker quotes "If you're looking for Qualen, try about 4,000 feet south of here. He'll be the one wearing a helicopter." The 3 are then found by federal agents and rescued.

Wasn't able to resist the Orly temptation and I went to Watson's after lunch to check out their new collection. They're so yummy, real eye candies!!! Sorry for the pic quality, I was shy to use flash on my cam haha. I really had to restrain myself from buying Gumdrop and Snowcone! Checked out Lollipop instead, then realized I have too much purple polishes already. The yellow one, Lemonade, looks like it's wearing an invisible tag screaming "Get me!" and I did, thinking it's perfect for Summer! I also snag Cotton Candy and Country Club Khaki (from Orly's Prepster Collection last year) since I don't think I have anything in my stash that closely resembles these shades.
Out of the three, I decided to try the yellow one first. Since I took the half day off from work (our IT department's not yet done in backing up my files so I can't use my PC which is due for replacement on Monday as part of their maintenance procedures), I thought of trying the new nail salon I spotted last week.Orly Lemonade is a pretty yellow pastel creme that is said to be a dupe of China Glaze's Yellow Fizz, the only difference is that Orly's formula is a bit thicker than CG's Yellow Fizz. I am not fond of anything yellow (my mother is!) more so for a nail polish. This is actually my first yellow polish and I almost return it to the saleslady when I'm about to pay on the counter haha. Fortunately, it doesn't look bad on me! Here's Orly Lemonade on my nails! Btw, I also asked my nail tech to do nail art on my ring finger. Some more pics! It screams summer, right?!?! Really perfect for our weather today. Imagine my surprise when I stepped out of the mall after my session, I want to laugh out loud since it was raining outside!!! So much for summer nails haha.

Pet owners know that accidents happen, so take action with this easy and budget-friendly pet-stain cleaner. Along with tackling discoloration, this concoction removes any lingering smell. Made with eco-friendly ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry, this DIY is safe to use on most carpets and fabrics that can't be tossed in the washing machine. Here's what to do:
Tackle the stain as soon as possible, blotting the urine with paper towels or an old towel. Just like with removing tough stains on carpeting, work from the outside in.
Before cleaning, spritz the area with equal parts vinegar and warm water, which deodorizes the urine and helps remove any discoloration.
Mix together 1 cup hydrogen peroxide, 1 teaspoon liquid dish soap, and 2 teaspoons baking soda in a squirt or spray bottle, and give things a good shake to incorporate the ingredients. Hydrogen peroxide is a natural cleaning agent that tackles the stain along with the dish soap, while baking soda helps whisk away any lingering smell. Hydrogen peroxide may alter colored carpets, so do a quick test to check for discoloration before dousing carpet or fabrics. Cover the stain with the cleaner, and gently massage into the carpet.
While the cleaning concoction is working its magic, lightly cover the area with tinfoil, which deters pets from resoiling the area. (Pets don't care for the way tinfoil feels on their feet.) Allow the cleaner to air-dry for several hours, and then vacuum. If any unwanted pet scents remain, then spray again with the vinegar and water, which will really tackle deep-set smells in carpets and fabrics. | https://www.popsugar.com/smart-living/Homemade-Pet-Stain-Cleaner-30885507 | 1,495,974,553 | null |

Beards, Goatees and Mustaches, Oh My! The first week back from winter break is always a great week. After a full three and a half weeks off, you feel ready to take on the quarter with a renewed vigor. Also, the twenty-something students who were studying abroad are all back. My favorite part of coming back from winter break though is the Fisher College Post-Winter Break Beard and Mustache Competition.
Last year, we came up with the idea of a beard growing contest over the long winter break. We had different events for each day of school, with special guest student, staff and faculty judges. This year we had 25 competitors with five to six guest judges every day. On Thursday, our EOTW (Event Of The Week) was held at a country bar where we fit in very well with our mustaches.
The week’s events were:
Day 1 (Mon) – Best Beard
Day 2 (Tue) – Unique Expressions (chinstraps, lightning bolts, serious creativity)
Day 3 (Wed) – Best Goatee (including fu manchus)
Day 4 (Thu) – Mustache Competition
Next year will be the 3rd Annual Fisher College Post-Winter Break Beard and Mustache Competition. I hope the Class of 2011 finds a way to grow the event even more. Maybe a corporate sponsor or two? A fund raising element? An all-bearded case competition? Looking forward to seeing the pictures next year on Facebook…
Mike ^_^

A few months ago I found an old gray pullover in the closet, I took it thinking "I have to give it a new look!".
I really like changing old clothes into new ones to wear them again!It doesn't take much to give a new aspect to an old cloth, a little detail, a color refinement, a sewing patch or a wonderful quote.
I've used this grey pullover but you can choose a cotton bag or even a simple T-shirt.
I've chosen to apply a quote on my pullover because I think that this is also a way to communicate, for this reason the "motto" of this project will be "choose a quote and wear it"!!
I really hope you'll enjoy the project. Good luck with your work!
First, you need a shirt / sweater / bag, fabric dye (I chose a navy blue but you can choose any color), a fabric dye with bump effect to play up a part of the quote, a sewing thread (I've used a yellow one), and some common sewing equipment (needle and pins).
The funniest part was choosing the quote. I wasn't sure about which quote to use for this project!
In the end I've picked this one because sometimes I need to remind me and others that "being you" is the first step to be happy! Then I printed my quote and I created a stencil. I've chosen where to place the stencil on my pullover and I've fixed it with pins. When you start coloring the stencil remember to put a cardboard sheet inside the pullover to prevent the fabric dye from coloring through the back of the sweater. Be careful, it's important to always apply color on the stencil inward to keep the edges of the letters clean (I suggest to use a little sponge). Once finished remove the stencil and wait for the paint to dry (refer to the information on your fabric dye for the appropriate amount of time). In the end I've decided to cover a part of my quote which I've colored with a fabric dye with bump effect with a yellow sewing thread for a super 3d effect!! You can also decide to use the sewing thread to refine the letters' edge. | http://mydaytimedreams.blogspot.com/2013/01/diy-old-pullover-changed-into-brand-new.html | 1,495,661,319 | 1,495,070,071 |
2016 was a long year that required much determination. Honestly, it was the heaviest year of my life. Wholeheartedly, it was my first time being present and facing my fears. In honor of an amazing 2017, here is a Free-verse poem reflection.January through May,my brain had the power of a scholar.Non-stop school work, essays, and thoughts of college.May twentyfirst. Graduation Day!I’d made it! I was free.June through August, my focus had changed.Acting, Scripts, and California placed me on my first plane.The Celebrity Experience, a competition?No, a chance for amazing talent to enter fame.Surrounded by people who shared my dream, I met worthy Kings and Queens.We all stayed connected, knitted with support.Yet even still, in my mind, I felt rejected. But that wasn’t my heart. I wasn’t created to give up after one “No.”Besides, I had conquered my two biggest fears right before turning eighteen. I was facing adulthood in one day. I’m not going to lie. I was afraid.September through December, I shattered like glass,But God reconstructed me, this time steadfast. Now, in college and living away from home, I have responsibilities.My grades were great, and priorities straight,But there was no balance.I felt so alone.I distanced myself from the awesome people I’d met, and stayed in my dorm.Trapped in my head,I lost hours of sleep to awful nightmares.Stressed of myself, I looked at the world around me:The election, continued oppression, death.I was scared.I fell to my knees, in my roommate's kindness and care.Towards November’s end, I reached out to a friend. Her arms were open, like always.Her faith strong in God, our souls held hands.One morning in a Chick-Fil-A, I told her my pains,And she prayed.“Write to God.” She offered with total sincerity and unconditional love.So I did.It hurt,Confessing to Him my sins.But He listened, He cared, and He forgave.Like a child’s story, one stormy night,I felt God’s presence. His love holding me tight.Overwhelmed by this new experience, I cried and cried,Realizing that this was why Christ died.So we could feel this beautiful love firsthand.For weeks, I couldn’t put it into words, nor did I know who to tell.As the holidays drew near, I went home to my family.Wrapped in their arms, God kept his promise strong.Now, in the last days of 2016, I’ve reflectedOn how my trust thinned out to almost nothing.But I never gave up.To kick off the new year early,I want to declare peace and victory.Sending out Positive Vibes, I want to wish everyone a happy and prosperous new year. Great things are before you. Spread love and positivity into 2017.Kaci Hollingsworth | http://www.viewwoman.com/positive-vibes/lets-toast-to-peace-and-victory | 1,495,473,921 | null |

A few weeks ago I received an email from a reader who is planning a vineyard wedding. While she wanted to use a yellow and gray palette, she also wanted to incorporate some pink into the day to add in a garden-esque vibe. It was a little hard to find images to fit into the palette but I have to say that I love the results! I've always been a fan of yellow and gray, but normally I've seen more of a marigold shade so I really like the light buttery yellow in this board. What do you think? Are any of you using a similar palette?----Row 1: Bridesmaid photo by Stephanie Williams | Yellow & White Arrangement from The Knot | Boutonniere from The Knot | Bouquet photo by Elissa Keno via Ruffled Row 2: Cake from k.rosecakes | Invitation by Delphine PressRow 3: Bouquet photo by Elissa Keno via Ruffled | Flower photo by Stephanie Williams | Macaroons by Paulette

View the Gallery If you didn’t know, lyric videos are the new music video trailers. From Justin Timberlake’s “Suit and Tie” to Wale’s “Bad,” artists have been dropping official words-on-the-screen visuals to better paint a back-story to their tracks. Cool video, bro/sis. But what happens when an artist’s flow is so rapid it’s hard to keep up? For MCs with Usain Bolt-like flow, lyric videos would come in handy, so listeners don’t remix their own versions of what’s actually spat.

Hi There--It's me Shari!! Thanks for joining me today!! I've got a quickie little tag card to share with you today using images from our Go Team stamp set, that packs a lot of punch in its big statement....
I love good quotes, especially ones that evoke strength and determination, and even though this quote is in our football themed set, it can be applied for every aspect of life--Even in crafting (like, when you lose your mojo...)!! Luckily, I've been able to keep my Mr. Mojo happy of late, and we whipped up this quickie tag card to share with you today. This tag card was really quick to make, too, because I actually had a plan and idea and all I had to do was get it all down onto paper! (Thanks, Mr. Mojo!) There's the Go Team stamp set and I'm going to be using a couple of different Distress Spray Stains to create the background on the tag.
I used each spray stain separately so the colors wouldn't become muddy. I sprayed Mowed Lawn DSS onto my craft sheet, spritzed with water and ran the tag through the stain on both sides.
I heat set the tag and also cleaned up my craft sheet for the next round of stain. This time I used Walnut Stain DSS and ran the tag through again, on both sides. I roughed up the edges with my paper distresser and ran through my sewing machine to add the stitched border.
I folded the tag in half to form my card and ran through my sewing machine again to add an additional border of stitching. This will be the front of the card.
I couldn't help myself, but I had to give the back of the card an additional border of machine stitching, too, to match the front of the card--you know how that is!
Behind the scenes, I've stamped this image of these two footballers onto mixed-media paper with Jet Black Archival and water colored with Distress Markers and my water brush. I fussy cut them out and set aside. This silver trophy was stamped onto m-m paper with Watering Can Archival then covered with silver EP and heat set. I carefully fussy cut and set aside with the boys. I stamped the image of the stadium onto tissue paper with Jet Black Archival and fussy ripped out. I adhered to the surface of the card with matte Decou-Page and heat seat. I stamped the quote onto a piece of acetate with Jet Black Archival and carefully heat seat. I trimmed the quote and adhered to the card with a thin layer of matte Decou-Page and pressed between a couple of heavy books for a spell. I adhered an additional strip of 'Touchdown' stamped tissue paper onto the background then layered my previously fussy cut teammates and trophy cup into place and finished with an embellishment of mica flakes here and there. See, a little card with a big statement! I LOVE it!! It's become one of my favorite quotes and I know I'll be mixing and matching this with other Artistic Outpost stamps in the future!! Thanks again for joining me today! I'll see you next Sunday!! Designer: Shari Trumbull | http://artisticoutpost.blogspot.com/2016/01/big-statement-little-card.html | 1,495,974,411 | 1,495,861,260 |
knew I had to write about these posters for my first blog entry. Jon Contino’s use of detailed inked calligraphy is beautiful drawn over the screen-printed anvil and sharpie paint markers to decorate the fine details around the anvil. Golden West Signs’ posters shown above were achieved by painting the type on to a sheet of plywood and a vintage car door.
Helms Workshop pieces shown above are
probably my favorite posters of the five. The image of the flag is photographed
with a lighting that compliments the material and lights up the white of the type. The stitching on the type creates a compelling decorative outline that adds an illustrative detail to the letters. Their wood
cut lettering is another beautiful solution. Again the media is takes full
advantage using the wood letters to pop of the wood barrel and using shadows, from the lighting in
the photo, give the colors a nice contrast.
Every one of these posters sells the message of craft, because each one gives you a strong feeling for how much work, and
dedication is put into handmade type. I think that it was a wise decision to pick designers and artist who focus on still working with traditional typographic methods rather than just making it with illustrator and photoshop, and collaging an image | http://abcdefridays.blogspot.com/2012/09/hand-crafted-made-in-america.html | 1,495,585,809 | 1,495,069,848 |
Hi there. i'm about to be a freshman in college and since i'm not allowed to take my two turtles to school with me i was thinking about getting a goldfish, but i don't really know anything about them. I need one that will be easy to care for and I know i won't have time to test water everyday. Also my college won't let us have anything larger than a 5 gallon tank. What would be the best kind of goldfish for me to get?

hey becky welcome to the land of the goldfish haha there are so many to choose from with regards to type of fish but if you can only have such a small space i would recomend a betta. really easy to look after, tons of colours to choose from too. normal goldfish need at least 10gallons per fish, so a 5 gallon would drive it nuts. with regards to a ranchu they need room to swim. like most goldfish it can grow to 12inches long (if given the right care, food and home etc) if you were to pick a normal goldfish or a fancy, they need 10 gallon per fish, a air pump, filter, and company (they hate being on their own) minimum! the nice things with betta if you can afford a air pump right away they can breathe at the surface (unlike goldfish who get their air from the water) ahhhh long bit there. are you sure you can smuggle a 10 gallon tank in, doubt anyone would know the difference or even a 20gallon hahakatie Logged

Hello Becky,Welcome to our community.Well, Katie already mentioned: Goldfish need at least a 10 gallon tank to be happy and they also need lots, lots of care.Therefore I agree with Katie. Get yourself a lovely Siamese Fighter. They are cute too, beautiful colours, you can choose iridescent blue, green-blue, red, purple, turquoise. The males do have lovely long fins. But you can keep only ONE male.(if you would keep 2 males they would fight each other until one dies)It is easy to care for the Betta. Best thing to do: visit your local pet shop. Have a good look how clean the tanks are. You should see only happy and healthy fish. Be aware that the shop should smell nice... not a rotten, dirty smell . And read up about the Betta fish on the internet.You like to keep goldfish too, well... if you do have lots of time to test waterquality, to look after them at home, Welcome, we help you on here to give it the best care.Let us know which way you like to go Logged

i really am not a big betta fan, i might be able to pull off a 10 gallon (i'm a sneaky one) and i have an air pump and filter i got from my grandma after she decided not to keep fish anymore, i do worry about being able to test the water tho, how often does it have to be done? Again, not big on bettas, i had them when i was little and they just kind of bored me, but i know goldfish have their own distinct personalities, like my turtles. Logged

well, you'd need to do a water change with goldfish once a week (only between 5-10% of the water) so generally i test once my water has had time to settle. you'de need tap conditioner and some cycle start to begin with to get your good bacteria happy and to remove any chemicals from the water. if you do go with a goldy 10 will only be big enough for 1 fish and your problem is that goldfish love company, so keeping one on their own would be a tad mean. . . its difficult to know what to say for the best. if your not a betta fan and are def wanting a goldy then there is a lot more to think about Logged

Yes, goldfish are very social fish, they would be bored being by themselves. ( it would be for them like you being allone ALL the time... )What about tetras, or guppies, or swordfish... there are so many to chose from....you also can create a community tank with different tropicals, but you need to know which ones are compatible with each other

You should test the water once a week BEFORE every water change, to determine how much you need to change at a time It'd be alright to just test the pH and nitrates when your tank is cycled.But before you get your fish, it would be great if you'd let your tank cycle in peace for about a week or two. During this time you could test the ammonia values every other day (every single day if you have a fish there from the start) just to make sure nature's running its course It's good to have a nitrite test available too, so you can check for that once the ammonia starts going away.And if you keep your fish in the tank from the start, you have to change 10% every day to make sure that the fish won't be poisoned.

"Cycling" means letting the tank run for a period of time (1-2 weeks) to allow the nitrogen cycle to set up. The nitrogen cycle is a series of biochemical reactions that keep waste products from building up and poisoning your fish. The best way to let a tank cycle is to put in your treated water, gravel, decorations, and some live plants, set up your filter, and (if you can get it) put some benificial bacteria in the gravel and filter. I reccomend Nite Out- it's a liquid containing helpful tank bacteria (you'll need a teaspoon to measure it). Then let the tank run for about a week or two with no fish and test the water using an ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite test kit. If you need more information on cycling, your pet store may have a pamphlet or a book on fish care to help you.For most tropicals, the rule is one gallon per inch of fish (goldfish need more). So I'd say that would work for guppies and tetras. You might also need a small tank heater. When in doubt, ask the people at the store for their reccomendations.

We plan to keep in the 34 l tank ( Humpsis and Hepsis old home ) about 7-8 neon tetras, with them one betta and 2 small catfish.We will need a small heater to keep the temp at 26/27 degrees Celsius, and the UG filter we already used in there. Nice plants for them to hide and a dark substrate.So 34 l is not quite 10 gallon.

What sort of catfish? I'm still considering what to do with my tank once Sunshine moves on to bigger and better things (which may be sooner than expected) and I'm trying to figure out what I should put in the tank. It is 22L so a bit smaller than yours and I do want to keep it personal with one or two fish. Not sure if I can fit two in there though. So I was thinking a betta or paradise fish (not both!!) and maybe something else like a quiet little catfish. So maybe you have some advice, Hanna Logged

Description
Working wood with hand tools is one of the most satisfying, relaxing and rewarding activities available, and adding planes to a woodworking regimen augments it in several ways. When we plane the face or edge of a board, we slice across cells, exposing a multitude of voids. When we sand, we fill up those voids with dust, the residue of crushed cell walls. As a finish is applied, the difference is immediately obvious. A planed surface has a deep, rich, translucent quality that is missing in a sanded piece. This is a book for the average woodworker of every skill level (except for the very advanced) a simple, straightforward shop manual for people who own a few bench planes and would like to know how to use them. This book dispenses with the lore and legend of planes, and treats them simply as tools while still preserving their dignity. The book contains how-to photography that is in step-by-step support of the text. Each image visually represents hard facts that are alluded to in the text. For example, a page on sharpening an iron will show the reader four images that illustrate flattening the requisite area of the back; grinding a primary bevel; honing a secondary bevel; and testing for sharpness.

Walker's Story
Walker for what ever reason, probably nature, jumped a vulnerable part of our fence when our backs were turned and ran away. We did not know which way to turn. We made up a few flyers, signs for posts and contacted the Humane Society. Then Anne from Dogs Finding Dogs contacted us. Over the next two weeks we spent time with Anne and Janel following the trained noses of Heidi and Lee each time that there was a Walker sighting. All of a sudden, sightings of Walker stopped coming in. On July 3, we received a call that Walker had been found. Tragically though, he was found lying between the North and Southbound rails of the Baltimore Light rail. We positively identified him and completed our goal of bringing him home on July 4, 2009. While we are extremely saddened and heartbroken by the loss of our dear, funny, energetic and tenacious friend, we can thank Walker for being the catalyst to gaining two new friends, Anne and Janel and their faithful companions Heidi and Lee of Dogs Finding Dogs.
The Walker Fund was initiated by Paul and Betsy Marchand of Finksburg, MD in honor of their dog Walker. This fund was set up to help offset the costs of our services for pet owners who could otherwise not afford it. Click here for the entire Heart Warming Story of Walker and how the Walker Fund began. If you are interested in helping continue The Walker Fund, please contact us. - Paul & Betsy Marchand in Finksburg, MD Lost in the Park, Stolen, Sold and then Stolen Again by a Prostitute - 6 Times Cops Called
We're going to try to lay this out so it can be followed. Back in March, Magoo ran away in the State Park. He had on tags. A man picks him up, calls the number but doesn't leave a message. DFD brought out Anne And K9 Heidi. The phone number is called while there to hear the guy say he threw Magoo back into the woods. Yeah Right! The tracking path with the dog only showed a small path so it looked like the story was a lie. We got the callers number and went to his house in Dundalk with the police. He denied it. We hung flyers up outside his house and his child calls stating that Magoo was in Dundalk. Strange! The guy then sells him to a prostitute in Brooklyn. On Mothers Day, the prostitute is visiting her mom on Landsdowne and looses Magoo. A kind neighbor picks him up and calls the number on his tags. Criminals are stupid! Really....left the original tags on. While on the phone with us the prostitute assaults her and steals Magoo back out of her arms. Cops are called 2 times to come to the house with us. They would not give Magoo back. They were VERY VIOLENT! Then they send a family member to the good neighbors house and he threatens her for turning them in. Cops called again. We then research the house to find out the mom's name. In the process we find an obituary that lists all the kids. Researched their addresses and put flyers up all around their homes. Prostitute thinks its funny and tells her friend about it..laughing. Friend does not think its funny and calls us from a Craigslist Posting. At 10pm at night here we are with Baltimore City Police, Magoo's Owners. Baltimore City doesn't play!!! They knocked that door so hard and for so long it sounded like it was going to break. The prostitute comes out and lies of course. The neighbors come out and says Magoo is there. A warrant was going to be issued to raid the house and just as all of this was to happen, out comes the prostitute's boyfriend with Magoo and he gives him back. Now to show how STUPID criminals are......there was a $1000.00 reward for Magoo. They could have had the money but instead almost got arrested for stolen property. I don't think any other stolen dog case will top this one.
- Special Thanks to all who helped in Magoo's search in Ellicott City, MD I Forgot How to Bark for 4 Whole Days! Sampson a 8 month old German Shepherd mysteriously went missing on a Saturday night during the fireworks. He is a therapy dog for his owner who has cerebal palsy. Having feared the worst that Sampson had been stolen out of their yard, Sampson's owners called DFD for help. Christine and Keelah went over to their house to see what could have happened. Keelah was scented up at the gate and she pulled Christine into the back yard and to the basement door. Then as Keelah was sniffing Sampson gave out one short bark. Hmmm.... could this be true? Sure was! Sampson had mistakenly gotten himself locked into the basement for 4 whole days and never made a peep! When he was let out of the basement he could care less that his owners were there. He was extremely interested in Ms. Keelah, the search dog who rescued him. - Annapolis, MD Rest in Peace Little Man Dogs Finding Dogs wants to send is sympathies to the family of Little Man, a wonderful friendly kind hearted Boston Terrier. Little Man was unfortunately hit by a car after escaping from a person who stole him. He is now over the rainbow bridge where he can rejoice forever more. - With Deepest Sympathies from all the staff at DFD Who Says Senior Dogs Don't Explore This sweet little lady is 15 years old and has the typical problems as all old dogs do. But one day she decided that she was going to go off and explore the woods of the Patapsco State Park. Down the hills, thru the streams she went. Finally caught up with in a backyard that edged the woods. What a experience she had! This just goes to show that even the doggy senior citizens will take a vacation when they want to. Don't under estimate them. - Sue in Ellicott City, MD Lexi Stolen by Thugs Lexi is not the nicest dog to strangers. She tries to bite them but somehow some thugs in the nearby neighborhood got their hands on her and were going to sell her. I live in Baltimore City. After 4 days and some rain I thought it would be impossible for a dog to help find Lexi. I am very happy to say I was wrong. I was given DFD's name by our local shelter. They brought out Heidi who is good at doing concrete tracks. She scented up at my front door where Lexi went missing from and off we went. Lexi had started to run around the blocks and everywhere we went the kids and adults said "Yes we tried to get Lexi but she tried to bite us!". Eventually the track led to one row home and when we got close the people inside got nervous and started asking alot of questions. They then gave Lexi up. They had stolen her, ignored the signs, and were going to sell her to someone they knew. Thank goodness for Heidi the big black scary looking dog! I think they thought we were the police. Don't I wish we were! Thank you DFD! - Karen in Baltimore City, MD Great Pyrenees "Cricket" Recovered from Fatal Car Crash
DFD first wants to extend its deepest sympathies to Mr. Jack Perry and family for the loss of a beautiful, kind and wonderful woman, Charlotte Perry. Mr. and Mrs. Perry were involved in a fatal car accident while coming home from a dog show that featured Cricket. Mrs. Perry sadly was killed in the accident. Cricket was thrown from the van and escaped from her crate at the accident site. Dogs Finding Dogs along with Mr. Perry and his family, friends and the local news stations led a search for Cricket which started at 6:30pm 2 days after the accident. The public support of loving strangers for Mr. Perry was overwhelming. DFD took its most senior SAR dog Heidi out to search for Cricket. With media in tow, friends and family of Mr. Perry, we all followed behind the search dog. Without going into a books worth of details, Cricket was running a wooded power line nearby the crash site. Cricket answered by barking back to Mr. Perry's grandaughters cries for her. Cricket was showing us where she was. The trick was catching up to her in all the 4 foot tall massive field of weeds. After 3 hours of searching, Cricket finally was caught by the side of a road. Mr. Perry, whom had just been released from the hospital, sat in the back of his family's van all night waiting for us to find his dog. It was with the MOST GREATEST pleasure that Cricket was reunited with him at approximately 10pm. It was the determination of all those involved to find Cricket for Mr. Perry. Where this is the saddest case we have ever had, there was still some happiness that we could give back to a wonderful man who had just lost his wife. He needed Cricket back to help go on with his life. This Memorial Fund for Charlotte Perry in the name of her dog Cricket has been set up in conjunction with members of the National Capital Area Great Pyrenees Club to honor Charlotte's memory. All the donations will go towards helping DFD offset the costs of reuniting the missing pets of owners who cannot afford to make a donation. Donators will be highlighted in a special section of our Angels page specifically for Charlotte. For me, I have never cried so much with a case as this one. Before I started Heidi tracking, Mr. Perry's family asked me to come to the van for a minute. I walked with them as they told me that their father wanted to talk to me. As the van door opened, there was Mr. Perry sitting there. He grabbed my hand and asked that we find Cricket. With tears coming down, I said to him "Mr. Perry, I am so so sorry for your loss. I GUARANTEE that we will find Cricket! You have my word sir! We will get her back to you". By the Grace of God and the hard work of alot of wonderful people, Cricket was back in Mr. Perry's arms that night.
- Written by Anne Wills - Executive Director and Lead Tracker for Cricket's Search in Haymarket, VA Candy is Back! Sweet!
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you & Dogs Finding Dogs for your quick response to my phone call last Wednesday pleading for help in finding Candy, a very damaged puppy mill survivor. To our utter delight, Candy was back in her home 24-hours later. Candy's Mom) & I are convinced this could not have been accomplished without the help of Lynn & Mabel. Once Candy was located, it took expert directions from Lynn to actually get close enough to Candy to capture her & of course, it took a lot of time & patience. The end result was thrilling. Now that Candy is back home, she's adjusting beautifully. There doesn't appear to be any ill-effects of her 4-1/2 days on the run but she'll be checked out at the vet's on Saturday. Thank you again for your quick response & for Dogs Finding Dogs being there in our time of need.
- Linda & Jane in Maryland Maggie Does a Repeat and Sends Us All Out Looking for Her Again
Anne and Dogs Finding Dogs helped find my dog Maggie not once, but TWICE!!! And Maggie didn’t make it easy for us, either! She is an ultra runner and is notorious for ‘going to ground’ and practically dropping off the face of the earth when she doesn’t want to be seen.
Most recently, Maggie escaped my yard with my other dog, Morgan to play with our neighbor’s poodle. When the neighbor came outside and tried to herd the dogs into the house, Maggie became frightened (in her typical fashion) and ran faster than the speed of light into a nearby wooded area. Morgan and I went to the wooded area to draw her out, but we were unsuccessful. When I called Dogs Finding Dogs, Anne remembered me from last time. Once again, her insights and expertise were integral in getting Maggie back. Anne was super attentive and very consistent in her follow up for the entire month it took to catch Maggie in a humane trap near the woods. Today Maggie is home safe and sound, no worse for the wear and that wouldn’t have been possible without Dogs Finding Dogs :O)
- Terel, Morgan, and Maggie in Baltimore, MD K9 Corpsman Makes Debut with DFD on a Stolen Dog Case
We love Corpsman! Without him we would not have found out who stole our little Chihuahua. Corpsman and Jim came out and tracked my dogs path for 2 hours straight in the heat. Corpsman took us straight to the house of the gal who stole my dog. It was incredible. But what was hard was getting him back. The police had to be called. The girl admitted to seeing him and we knew he was inside. After alot of hard work we got him back home safe and sound. My little dog was just fine. He was my husbands fathers dog. He has passed away so the dog was really important. We are so happy he is home safe and sound.

Walker Fund Supports Search for Cats Lost in Fire
This is a picture of a kitty that was saved in a house fire that myself, Christine and Dick went out to. We all took our dogs. The fire was awful and in Crownsville. There were 6 cats total in the house. 2 were found in a closet and were brought out. 2 more were found and the firemen revived them and they are doing well. There were 2 still missing.
We went out the very next morning with Heidi, Keelah and Jean. Dick,myself and Heidi did the interior search to find one of the kitties hiding in the drop ceiling/rafters of the basement. Then we all went outside to look for the other cat. There was scent path on the ground below the windows of the bedroom. Keelah started the track outside and led the way. Jean was to first to find the final hiding spot of the last cat. All the dogs hit really hard in the woods behind the fellow's house that lead to his back neighbors shed.
It was amazing in many ways. This was a Walker Fund case. Folks, this is what it is all about. These people have no home for at least 6 months or more until their house is repaired. It was pretty bad. But the only smiles that the owner had was to have all his kitties home safe and sound. He is very grateful that we found his last 2 cats. He cannot thank us enough.
- Crownsville, MD Patches Found A Good Patch of Woods
Out off all the color combinations for kittys, the tortie is the hardest to spot! Patches, and well named went missing from my basement when the repair men left the door open. Living in a row home neighborhood with alleys and woods I had no idea where to go to look for her. Heidi came out to sniff the ground and away she went. Straight down the fenceline and into a wooded section of the back alley. We didn't chase Patches in the woods. We instead laid out food and scent trails and put out a trap at the back door. All this after 1 whole week of being missing led Patches straight back to the house that same night. What a relief! Without the use of the dogs nose and the things that we did to show Patches how to come home, we may have never gotten her back. Thank you to Heidi and Dogs Finding Dogs! I will refer you for sure!
- Marsha in Hamilton, MD Operation Steven!
Steven is a 15lb, 11 year old indoor/outdoor cat who has rarely missed a meal much less a night at home. On a Monday night as we arrived home from work the other 2 family cats came running up the sidewalk in anticipation of dinner. Steven did not appear. Five nights passed without sight or sound of Steven. So, we called Dogs Finding Dogs in hopes to locate Steven. On day six, Christine and Keelah (the dog) came out to Steven’s home in downtown Annapolis to begin a search and rescue operation – Operation Steven. The Operation Steven search lasted 4 hours and included a sweep of many square blocks. One area really caused Keelah to transform her mouth into a suction cup/hoover vacuum cleaner as she ran along the lattice under a huge wrap-around porch. Using flashlights, the area under the porch was scanned for Steven. Keelah would push her way in during the porch scan, getting in the way with her determination and persistence. Still, no Steven. Eventually Operation Steven ended for the day with Christine offering us advice to continue to monitor the hot spots, preferably after dark and late at night. At 11pm later that same evening we were walking home from dinner at a friend’s house, which happened to be one block further than the house with the huge wrap-around porch, and we stopped to pull out our tuna rescue kit (smelly tuna in a Ziploc bag filled with water). The objective was going to be to make a trail from the hot spot region all the way home in case Steven was around. While standing next to the house, we pinched a small hole in the tuna rescue kit bag and before the first drop hit the ground we heard a high pitched meow/shriek come from under the porch. We immediately ran to the porch, yanked back the lattice, and out popped Steven’s head. There he was, stuck for 6 days underneath the porch of a house about 8 blocks away. We were overjoyed. Steven was so dirty, skinny, hungry, and had an injured foot but he was happy to be carried home. We can’t thank Christine and Keelah for their tireless efforts in pinpointing Steven’s location. It was a surreal experience and if we were doubters before, we are advocates now. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions about Operation Steven. Dogs Finding Dogs is an incredible organization. Thank you!!
- Emmy in Annapolis, MD Sookie Carries Her Mom's Socks Around While Lost The story of the little lost kitty began on February 27th. The couple was relocating from Florida to Lexington Park, Maryland. After 2 of travel with 2 cats, they arrived and got a room at the Days Inn, where they would be staying for a few days until their house was ready. Their overly curious, precocious female cat escaped. They searched the area around the hotel that night with no luck, but they did receive information from a hotel worker that he had seen her in the area a couple of hours after she went missing. This distraught cat owner was not going to give up. She did everything that she could think of: placed an ad on Craigslist, put up flyers, hired Dogs Finding Dogs, and set a trap in various "hot-spot" locations. One day, she returned to the place where she had set up the trap, only to find that someone had stolen her trap. She left a can of tuna with one of her socks, just in case her cat was still in the area. (The reason she left her sock was because one of her cat's odd little habits was that she liked to carry her owners' socks around the house.) Imagine her surprise when she returned the next day to find most of the tuna gone and the sock was missing also. Naturally, she assumed that something else had taken the sock. Not one to give up, the owner purchased another trap and set it up in another location not too far away. Her perseverance paid off - four days later, she found her little wanderer in the trap! But the most amazing part of the story was that the missing sock was in the trap also! She can only assume that the kitty was walking around with the sock in her mouth for those last days of her adventure. What a special feline!!! - Amy in Lexington Park, MD Lulu Trapped Under Deck for 6 Days
Despite several warnings to close the door behind him, my son’s friend leaves the front door open and Lulu escapes. After many hours of searching the neighborhood and calling her name, there is simply no trace of her. Several days of brutally cold weather and we wonder if Lulu could survive such cold. After six days and out of options, the SPCA mentions that Dogs Finding Dogs might be an option. The idea of a dog finding a cat was just incongruous to us but we are willing to give it a try. Christine contacted us promptly and arrived last Saturday with Keelah, a shepadoodle. Keelah sniffs Lulu’s bedding and, with her nose glued to the ground, starts following Lulu’s scent in the direction she was last seen. We follow as Keelah bounds through several neighbors' yards. The further away she get, the weaker the scent. On several occasions, Keelah sticks her nose in the air apparently able to catch a smell of Lulu. After 15 minutes we enter a yard two houses away and Keelah clearly locks onto a strong scent. She sniffs, paws ground and tries to climb under the deck that only has a foot or so of clearance. We use flashlights to try and see if we can see Lulu. No luck. We again set off to where she was also supposedly sighted. Again, the trail goes cold. Christine feels strongly that we should return to neighbor’s yard where the scent was strongest. Again Keelah shows real interest in the small step under the deck. As I lay on the ground at the opposite end of the deck shining the flashlight, Christine wiggles a long stick under the deck to see if we can flush out whatever is under there. Finally, Lulu emerges, looks at the flashlight, meows and returns to her place of safety. At this point Keelah backs off and lets the human retrieve Lulu. We rip up two slats on the deck and lay a trail of treats to get Lulu within my grasp. A very thin and hungry kitty inches forward to where I’m able to grab her by the scruff of the neck and dump her in a waiting crate. Cat found! Keelah and Christine were simply amazing throughout our ordeal. DFD has proved many friends and neighborhood skeptics wrong about the ability of a dog finding a cat and they’re all eating crow. Thanks again to Keelah and Christine for reuniting us with Lulu. - Alan in Annapolis, MD Spice Reunited with Salt and Pepper
We had 3 cats. Salt, Pepper, and Spice. On November 18, 2011 we went to work as usual and somehow the back door was unlocked and blew open. When we returned our darling Spice was gone. For days we looked putting up signs, visiting animal control, etc. On the 3rd night we saw a black cat that might have been her in our yard, but she ran away from us. The next day we brought in Dogs Finding Dogs. Christine with her dog, Keelah, confirmed that the black cat we had seen was Spice by first picking up her scent from Spice’s bedding and then sniffing around until she came up with the trail. Keelah retraced the exact path that we had seen the black cat travel the night before! This was so exciting and although we didn’t actually see her that day, we knew without a doubt that it was our little Spice.
With our hopes sky high now and our minds relieved that Spice was okay and close by, we set a “have a heart” trap that night and baited it with canned salmon. At 4:00 the next morning, Salt woke us up, and we went to the door to see what was going on outside. There was Spice in the trap, scared, hungry, and SO HAPPY TO COME HOME! Thanks to Dogs Finding Dogs, Keelah, and Christine for finding her whereabouts, helping us stay the course, learn about traps, and about what to do next. It was a wonderful Thanksgiving! Thanks again to DOGS FINDING DOGS for the wonderful/professional service they provide!
- Willa in Annapolis, MD Praise the Lord, and my mommy, I found Opey!!!
After talking to you, we went and put the fliers up, and stopped at a few houses as well. I had to go grocery shopping to stock up for my friend Ina’s homecoming today, so I proceeded to do that. Ina is 81 and she never had children and Opey is her child. My heart was so so so heavy, knowing how sad she would be to come home to no Opey. After I finished at her house, I decided to go home and make one more try, if the rain was stopped. On the way home, I prayed to God and my mom. My mom was blessed with 8 of us children and over 100 grandchildren, great-grandchildren and even 9 great-great-grandchildren. She always felt bad for Ina who did not have any children. On my way home I prayed to God, but mostly to my mom, reminding her how lucky she was to have had so much family and poor Ina only had Opey and to please, please, please help me find him. At around 11:30 p.m. I took a flashlight and circled our property, calling to Opey, telling him his momma was coming home and she was going to be so sad if he wasn’t there, it started raining… and then WALA! There he was! Thank you so, so much for all your help. It was because you said they were almost always nearby hiding that I decided to give it one more try. So again, thank you. And thank you Mommy!!!!
- Martha in MD Kittens Kittens and More Kittens - 22 to be Exact!
My local rescue for cats had a big problem! A abandoned farm, whose owner passed away, left a trust for all of her animals. The trust fell into the wrong hands and the animals suffered. Horses were rescued and the cats were left behind. We went and trapped 18 of the adults and had them fixed. But we then realized that 10 of them were moms. So WHERE ARE the KITTENS? We looked high and dry and needed help. Having used DFD to rescue some of our fosters from a house fire, K9 Heidi came to the rescue. She first found a litter of 6 2 week old babies under a broken down rabbit hutch. We quickly scooped them up and bottle fed them right there on the spot. Then she found more under a shed. Then in debris. Then 2 more in the neighbors broken down cars. All in 1 day!!!!! Without the nose of the dog these babies surely would have died! The kittens are now being bottle fed and some have been adopted. Heidi was in her ABSOLUTE GLORY! So many babies hidden everywhere! And she was as gentle with the babies as the momma cats would have been. She would follow us back to the car with the kittens and would not leave to search for more until she got to sniff the babies and see that they were all OK. Then it was off baby hunting again.
- CATS R US in Annapolis, MD Kitty Attracted to Litter Trail -- Finds Way Home
I must share with you my experience with Dogs Finding Dogs. My cat was missing and had never been out before and is 9 months young. A horrible storm came through just as he got out. The following day I called your team and spoke to Anne who assured me Kitty wasn't far and put me at ease. Anne then gave me TONS of information on how I could get Kitty to come home. One of the things she suggested was to put trails of used kitty litter from the cat box outside so he could find his way back home. I saw where my cat ran to, so I made a trail through the woods and along the side my neighbors house across the street. Funny thing is I stopped the trail at my neighbors front yard. Anne also informed me that Kitty most likely wouldn't come out of hiding until later in the evening when things were quiet. I walked outside at 10:30 PM with a flashlight to start calling him again. Wouldn't you know it....he was laying (crouched down and scared) in my neighbors front lawn right at the end of the litter trail. I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT!!! I should've ran it to my front door. AMAZING!!! I was offered SO many hints and tips and did several (my husband was scratching his head as I was doing my "come back home, Kitty ritual" slinging cat food all over the yard and making these litter trails). I can't thank you enough, Anne, for taking an extensive amount of time to feed me your knowledge. I will recommend you to anyone that is missing their furry family member.
- Julie Maryland Corpsman Gets His Moxie
Thank you DFD for assigning Corpsman to come out. Without your showing me where Moxie was and for helping us set up the area to get her back inside we would have never found her.
She is several pounds smaller, whiskers singed, thigh fur matted, and very very hungry. Her fur is falling out in clumps - probably from the stress and weight loss. Hubby spotted her in the back yard while I was on my meditation cushion, and when he opened the door she dashed in --- he brought her upstairs to me --- she curled up in my arms and we're both still purring.
Thank you again for your support!

Finding Nemo - Who Won? the Tortoise or the Dog
One evening Nemo a 8" tortoise decided to crawl out of the doggy door while his owners were sleeping on the couch. He then managed to fall off of a 6' high deck, land right side up and off he went exploring! Unbelievable but it gets better. Nemo managed to cross the street, go up 3 houses, into the backyards and thru a small wooded patch that the neighbors all shared. Having been gone for several days, Dogs Finding Dogs was called to come out to look for Nemo. At first, we thought this could be a friend pulling a joke on us. A tortoise thru a doggy door and off a deck....hmmm To make matters worse, it was pouring down rain when we arrived. The dog scented up on some dirt from Nemo's cage and off she went fully excited to track something different. Low and behold, within a half hour in the pouring rain Nemo's hiding spot under a bush was found. Nemo sure gave the dog a good race! - Katie in Columbia, MD White House Presidential Aide's Horse Stolen!
Lady Ada is owned by one of President Obama's aides in the White House. They were referred to us to find out what happened to her. Arriving at the beautiful horse farm in Damascus, something seemed really wierd. This huge horse magically disappeared overnight while being held in an outside corral. There were reports of strange scuffing sounds around the stables that night. The door to the corral was off its hinges. Lady Ada was MIA. When DFD arrived with Heidi the K9 they were not told immediately who this horse belonged to. It came to light later on. Heidi was scented up where the horse was being kept outside and off she went down the grassy side of the long 1/2 mile driveway. This was strange. Why would the horse choose to walk only on the grass? Then as the driveway made a turn the scent moved to the center of the pavement. And very, very abruptly Heidi alerts to the end of the track and sits right in the middle of the driveway. How in the world can this be!!! Then looking down at the ground long hoof marks were scraped into the pavement. The stable owners said that horses do that when they don't want to go into a trailer and that there has been no other horses at this area. It was Lady Ada's marks! The rest of the property was scanned heavily for this horse. Auctions were scoured to see if she would appear for sale. With the hinges so perfectly removed from the corral and the findings of the search dog it helped to confirm the theft. It will not be known why she was stolen. Only that whoever did it had to have had some inside info. - Anonymous in Damascus, MD Found! (with help from DFD) Friend Hagan Jasmine

The Bachelor: The Women Tell All was definitely full of drama last night, but the show may have left out the biggest controversy surrounding the show right now.
Lex McAllister, a former Bachelor contestant, recently committed suicide, leading to discussion and rumors that the show may be too mentally trying, enough so that it can cause people to become suicidal.
More: Theories about The Bachelor finale: Who does Ben call?
“The Bachelor is one of the most dangerous shows,” Season 4 The Bachelorette winner Jesse Csincsak told Life & Style. “It is not about finding love, it is about embarrassing the hell out of each and every contestant for ratings and money. It ruins people’s lives. I’m afraid this won’t be the last suicide.”
Former contestant Gia Allemand also committed suicide in August 2013.
But rather than allow these tragic events to lead to a poignant discussion, The Bachelor instead chose to ignore the issues in their live Women Tell All broadcast.
They even went so far as to edit out comments about the suicides.
More: The Bachelor's Jubilee Sharpe reveals her biggest regrets from the show
According to E! News, Season 20 contestant Lauren Himle brought up the suicides, calling them horrible, when Olivia Caridi revealed she was severely bullied as a child. Caridi has been labeled the bully of Season 20 by many for her inappropriate comments toward the other girls, but the show cut out this scene entirely.
Of course, there is only so much time on the Women Tell All episode. And the focus is always on the season and the drama in the house, so it could be that the show didn't have time to address the suicides in a way that would have satisfied viewers.
But I know that in my opinion, a simple statement from host Chris Harrison would have been enough. He could have said something like, "We're aware of the discussions about our show and want to ensure viewers that we take the mental health of our contestants seriously."
More: The Bachelor's Nick Viall finds love with Ben Higgins' runner-up
I definitely don't think The Bachelor is responsible for all the actions of contestants and former contestants. But with show like Lifetime's UnREAL and rumors about the behind-the-scenes life on these reality programs, it does raise some questions about the real impact on contestants' lives. To ignore the issue completely and cut it out like it isn't even there makes it seem like the show has something to hide.
Do you think The Bachelor: The Women Tell All should have addressed McAllister's suicide and the rumors about the show's effect on mental health? | http://www.sheknows.com/entertainment/articles/1115199/the-bachelor-women-tell-all-suicide-discussion | 1,495,709,979 | null |

#1 Memoir Wild, Goofy, Embarrassing wouldn't change anything Authors note: This six word memoir was inspired by family I felt like it was a very appropriate because although they often care to much or act goofy or odd I know there are those who aren't so lucky and would do pretty much everything to have the just a portion of the affection I receive on a daily basis. I chose to change the colour's of the words wild, goofy and embarrassing because I felt like it helps project the deeper meaning of each word that I am trying to invoke in the beholder further more the image I have chosen fits with the memoir because this picture was taken at the beginning of a very interesting night to say the least.

This so doesn't work on audio for me. The narrator is great, but I keep wishing the same thing wouldn't be said again, again, and again. Ash needs to be spanked too. I loved Kaye's Princess short novel for children, but this in audio form is putting me off. I might try it in book form later. Or not. But at least Audible lets me return it. | http://ethiercn.booklikes.com/post/720034/okay-tried-this-on-audio | 1,495,776,899 | null |
Zvezda («Звезда», “Star”) is the core of the ISS, providing living quarters and life support for the crew. It was originally intended for the Mir-2 space station and the design was based on the Mir Core Module, but when this was canceled after the fall of the Soviet Union, it was amalgamated into the ISS instead.
Zvezda is the first entirely Russian module (i.e. built and funded by Russia). The main developer was RKK Energiya and main subcontractor was GKNPTs Khrunichev. It was launched on a Proton-K rocket on 12 July 2000.
Zvezda is the most complex structure as it has many tasks to support: crew and ground communications, life support, Station orientation, enabling the approach and docking of Russian Progress and Soyuz ships, supporting experiments and spacewalks.
Full name: СМ: Служебный Модуль / SM: Service Module / Sluzhebnyi Modul’
Structure
Zvezda is a cylinder comprising four sections.
Sections
PKhO transfer compartment (ПхО, Переходный Отсек – PKhO, Perekhodniy Otsek): This spherical compartment provides 3 docking ports (it could be built with 5) and also serves as a back-up airlock if no specialized airlock is attached as it can be depressurized. It is the transfer point between the SM and the other ISS modules. It is 2.78 m in length with a volume of 6.85 m³. There are four lights inside. It has one axial (facing forward) and two lateral (top and bottom) hybrid passive docking ports of the type SSVP-M G8000, ССВП-М Г8000. Zarya is permanently docked to the axial port. The top port was to have supported the Science & Power Platform (НЭП, NEP), but with the cancellation of this, Pirs will eventually be moved there instead. Pirs is currently docked to the bottom (Earth-facing) port.
The Progress and Soyuz ships can’t dock to any PKhO ports as they have a different docking mechanism (probe-and-drogue). The PKhO ports are for modules only.
Working compartment section (РО, Рабочий Отсек – RO, Rabochii Otsek): This is the largest part of the SM and contains life support systems, instruments and crew quarters. It is 7.7 meters in length and has a total of 14 windows. It comprises two cylinders joined together by a conical adapter:
Instrument Compartment (ПО, Приборой Отсек – PO, Priboroi Otsek): the smaller section aft of the PKhO contains the Station command post (central computer) and related equipment. It is 3.5 m in length and 2.9 m in diameter with a volume of 75.0 m³.
Habitable Compartment (ЖО, Жилой Отсек – ZhO, Zhloi Otsek): behind the PO, in the larger cylinder, contains crew life support and two cabins (kayuti, каюты). The kayuti each has a measurement of 0.73 × 0.85 × 1.89 m (2.4 × 2.8 × 6.2 ft). There is a small washroom and sanitary compartment with a toilet (volume of 1.2 m³). Food is prepared at a galley table and an exercise treadmill lies in the center. It contains the life support equipment such as the Vozdukh CO2 filter and the Elektron oxygen generator (which proved to be rather noisy for the crew). The ZhO is 2.9 m in length and 4.1 m in diameter with a volume of 35.1 m³.
The intermediate chamber (ПК, Промежуточная Камера – PK, Promezhutochnaya Kamera): This is the transfer point between the RO and a docked Soyuz or Progress spacecraft. It is 2.0 m in diameter and 2.34 m in length. The internal volume is 7.0 m³. At the aft end is the passive docking assembly SSVP G4000, ССВП Г4000 (probe-and-cone type). The port can accommodate Soyuz and Progress dockings, and the European Automated Transfer Vehicle. A TV camera is attached to the outside to enable visual display of dockings.
The assembly compartment (АО, Агрегатный Отсек – AO, Agretatnyi Otsek): This is wrapped around the PK at the aft end and is unpressurized. It is used to position the orientation and propulsion engines around the module. There are also various antennae mounted for communications.
Docking ports summary
Forward docking port: АСР-ГО, ASP-GO (Passive docking assembly – hybrid axial)
Nadir/bottom port: АСП-ГБ1, ASP-GB1 (Passive docking assembly – hybrid lateral)
Zenith/top port: АСП-ГБ2, ASP-GB2
Aft port: АСП-О, ASP-O
Systems
The onboard control complex (БКУ, Бортовой Комплекс Управления – BKU, Bortovoi Kompleks Upravleniya) that oversees the operation of the Russian ISS modules comprises the following systems:
Motion control system. Monitors ISS attitude control via jet engines and gyroscopes. Navigates via satellites and corrects the orbit of the ISS. Conducts docking and undocking operations with spacecraft.
The onboard computer system (БВС, Бортовая Вычислительная Система – BVS, Bortovaya Vychislitel’naya Sistema) is the foundation of the BKU and is the “brains” of the module, enabling the crew to control its systems and those of the other Russian modules, and interface with the U.S. segment. The European-Russian designed Data Management System is the processing center for data.
The onboard radio complex (БРК, Бортовой Радиокомплекс – BRK, Bortovoi Radiokompleks). It enables two-way communications between the RS and Moscow Mission Control (TsUP). There are 5 systems: Regul (radio – РСУС, RSUS); television (ТВС, TVS); internal telephone-telegraph communications (STTS, СТТС); the orbit radio control system (РКО, RKO); and the Lira radio-technical system (БРТС, BRTS).
The onboard measurement system (СБИ, Система Бортовых Измерений – SBI, Sistema Bortovykh Izmerenii) is a telemetry system that transmits data to TsUP concerning the status and health of the modules and crew.
the control system of onboard equipment (СУБК, SUBK) diagnoses the status of the SM onboard systems.
the teleoperator mode control equipment (TORU) of approaching and docking automatic cargo spacecraft (i.e. Progress). This is a manual back-up docking system (controlled by a crewperson) in case the automatic Kurs docking system fails.
The electrical power supply system (СЕП, SEP) supplies power to Zvezda, and can also transfer power from the U.S. segment if needed. Solar power is gathered by two solar arrays (СБ, SB) of 38 m² each. They can be oriented toward the sun either automatically or manually by the crew. Power is stored in 8 800A storage batteries (АБ, AB).
The united engine installation (ОДУ, ODU) controls and stabilizes the ISS. There are 2 two main corrective engines (КД KD) and 32 smaller engines (ДО, DO) 11D428A for precision orientation. The oxidizer used is nitric tetraoxide and propellant is nitrogen. The tanks these are stored in are replenished by Progress cargo ships. The module has 4 tanks (2 for fuel, 2 for oxidizer), which can contain up to 860 kilograms of propellant in total.
The thermal control system (COTP, SOTR) maintains the temperature inside the modules and regulates air ventilation. It is separate from the other systems and works constantly. Temperature in the crew compartments is maintained in the 18°C to 28°C range.
The life support system (СОЖ, SOZH) provides extensive equipment to remove CO2 and other impurities via the Vozdukh, provide oxygen via the Elektron generator or solid cannisters and generally maintain an appropriate atmospheric composition (СОГС, SOGS) for humans. Water provision (СВО, SVO) is enabled through a condensate regeneration system and is also brought up from Earth and stored in tanks. A toilet and washroom facilities support crew hygiene needs (SSGO). There are, of course, food supplies onboard (СПО, SPO). There is also a fire detection system and extinguishers. Medical supplies are also provided.

UncategorizedThai food If I had to pick a favorite food, Thai food would def be number 2. (It could be 1, except that I can’t live forevermore without Japanese food, so it couldn’t be 1.) I looooooooveeeeeeeeee Thai food. AND TODAY, I learned how to make Thai food from a professional Thai chef at his house in Thai Town!! Kang took us to a Thai market and taught us how to make Tom Kha (coconut soup) and Spicy Beef Salad, two of the top three dishes we always order. SO YUMMAY.
The backstory is:
My mom and I know this Thai singer who always does live music at Thai restaurants in Thai Town late at night. Her name is Nong and she is so good at the guitar and singing! Anyway, we see her at restaurants all the time and she always comes to talk to us between her sets. Last week we saw her at Palm Thai, and my mom asked her if she knew any Thai chefs that can teach us how to cook Thai food and she said that her roommate is a chef. So my mom set up a (paid) cooking lesson at their house. The way my mom treats every half-open door as a great opportunity to better herself is usually embarrassing and then really really cool. I totally conquered a bucket list item today and earned Life Points. Next lesson: Thai fried rice and Papaya salad!!

Hey guys. Have a few questions about different things, but mostly looking for some quality relationships to bounce more complex business ideas off of. PM me if you would be interested. I hope my thoughts and ideas can contribute as much as those that I receive. My info: Jonathan
Johnson County Kansas
Several years part time experience going full time this year.
My first question is in the area of Marketing:
I have a fairly complex marketing idea rooted in permission marketing. The idea goes as follows: You develop your relationship with your prospect by gaining new levels of permission in exchange for the permission you offer a service, knowledge ect... My plan specifically offers a free yard enhancement plan in exchange for the permission to meet with the homeowner and gain their number. (At any point in the process I will also ask for referrals) Once I have the permission to present the yard enhancement plan I will attempt to gain the permission for servicing their yard once, (I.E. trimming a needed tree, mulching, ect
) Once that if fulfilled, I then hope to gain permission for a yearly contract. (Either this year or next) The basis of this idea is rooted in developing a relationship of trust and knowledge. This should help to keep and maintain a quality costumer base that is good for both the client and myself. Here are the brochures. At the moment, we will be going door to door in a couple of days (still have to get them printed). If the homeowner isnt home we will leave them in their door.
Wondering what you guys think of the whole marketing process from both a 1) costumers standpoint. 2) Lawn companies standpoint. Is it to extreme? My second question is in the area of Bidding/estimating:
Does anyone have access to an excel document in which I can punch in my numbers and have the bid spit back out? I have a laptop for the road. Once I get a printer this could make things a lot more professional and quick. I dont have the experience or the time to build my own excel template if anyone has one it would be greatly appreciated. (Obviously, the template could be used with any numbers so Im not asking for your actual bidding rates within the templates just the templates) My third question is related to sub contracting.
I'm going to be sub contracting some of my services this first year because of my lack of knowledge or certification. Are there any big drawbacks or things I should look out for when subcontracting? What steps should I take legally to back myself, if any? I know the subcontractors and trust them but should I do more? What are some potential problems you guys didnt see before subcontracting, but ran into when you did?
My fourth and final question for this post is directly related to tree trimming. I was bidding one property for a yearly mowing. I got underbid. Thats fine however my rate for shrub trimming ect
was under what they had for their Tree Trimmers. (40 ft Plus trees) They wanted me to pick up the one time tree trimming. I sent a proposal in. Im wondering how many of you guys have added tree removal and tree trimming to your lawn services and if it is paying off for you. The investment for the equipment will only take a 3rd of the cut for this one time operation so I'm thinking its a great way to expand my services. To summarize my questions:
Marketing: 1) Thoughts on permission marketing? 2) Thoughts on the brochure and/or my methods?
Bidding/Estimating:
1) Anyone have an excel template for bids? Subcontracting:
1) Things I should do?
2) Things I should watch out for?
3) Your experience with subcontracting?
Tree Trimming:
1) Is tree trimming a good expansion for a lawn care company?
2) Legally do you guys know of any special coverage I need now that I'm 50 ft in a tree? If anyone has any thoughts or answers for the above it would be greatly appreciated.

gives you the ability to take certain parts of an image, and add specific links to each part. In the example, I added 2 links to an image, one for the Guns N’ Roses tee, and the other for Justin’s almond butter.
The Examples
I added the white squares to the image so you can see which parts were mapped. Technically you can opt to add different symbols to mark the parts that have a hyperlink. Notice how the second image has circles with an X on them. Or you can also choose not to mark them at all as shown in the third image.
How To Map Images
One way to map your image is to use a map generator online. This one is user friendly and free. Some Use Cases
Make images shoppable by adding links to specific items to a look.
Add additional resources for your readers.
A caveat…although image maps work on mobile, user experience is still best on tablets and larger screens.
Some affiliate networks such as RewardStyle allow members to easily create image maps and add their affiliate links. Here’s one from

Despite their moniker, Chamber 3 sounds more like an intimate jazz band than a chamber ensemble on Grassroots, their latest recording. And they utilize four musicians, not three.

I remember reading about this assasination years ago. Now they reckon they've discovered the identity of the killer.ON A SEPTEMBER evening in London in 1978, Georgi Markov, prize-winning Bulgarian author and BBC broadcaster, felt a stinging pain in his thigh as he mingled with rush-hour commuters waiting for a bus on Waterloo Bridge. A heavily built man in the queue momentarily dropped an umbrella, mumbled “sorry” and quickly crossed the road to hail a taxi. An exile from the communist regime of Todor Zhivkov, the Bulgarian dictator, Markov, 49, had been aware of the danger he was in. An anonymous caller had told him he would be poisoned and he ate and drank only in the company of close friends. But Markov thought little of the seemingly trivial incident and continued his journey home. He was dead in three days. It remains one of Britain’s most famous unsolved murders — made all the more notorious by the James Bond nature of the killing. The murder weapon was an umbrella, partly developed by the Soviet KGB, which fired a pellet the size of a pinhead, containing the poison ricin. Last week, in a serialisation containing leaks of secret service files in the Bulgarian daily newspaper, Dnevnik, the identity of Markov’s killer was finally revealed. | http://zadokromanus.blogspot.com/2005/06/fascinating.html | 1,496,029,791 | 1,489,080,063 |
Have any of you grown Echium fastuosum (syn. Echium candicans) from seed? I couldn't find any of the plants for sale, so I resorted to buying seed, but I've never grown them before.
I'm wondering what to expect: how easy are they to grow, how quickly do they develop, how long before it becomes a full sized, flowering plant? Thanks!

I have grown several echiums from seed. They are very easy, and I don't have a greenhouse or special conditions here -- I grow everything on picnic tables, etc. in my driveway. In my area, Echium fastuosum is one of the echiums I can't get to live through the winter and bloom reliably. Some of the really big ones (boissieri, wildpretii, pininana, etc.) I have admired so much in pictures simply can't handle the short season/wet winter, at least in my yard. I can get them to germinate and grow into nice, big, hairy rosettes, but they never have time to bloom, darn it, and then the winter weather just turns them to gray shreds. In your area of California, you will have much better luck. I wait until late May or early June to plant my seeds in a compost-free seed starting mix I buy at the local feed store. If I can plant by mid-May, I will get blooms late the first year. If I wait until June, russicum, lusitanticum, amoenum, and others of the smaller variety will most often live through the winter, no problem, and then bloom the next year, a real treat. You will be able to plant earlier in your area. Keep them watered, in a nice, sunny spot, with good drainage, and they will get big fast. If I grow the BIG ones (hope springs eternal) I have to have them in 5 gallon pots by the end of August. When echiums flower, the bees adore them, and they are just gorgeous plants. I figure with the way things are going, I will be able to grow the big echiums one day, but for now I am thrilled just to be able to enjoy the smaller ones. This is probably more than you ever wanted to read in order to hear how easy echiums are to grow from seed... good luck!

Thanks for the info, hippofan - all very helpful! I have seen E. fastuosum growing beautifully locally, so I know they do great in this climate. Sounds like I should be able to sow the seeds by March, then. They have such gorgeous flowers, I'm glad to hear I won't have to wait too long to see them. :)

That's interesting. I planted a 5 gallon specimen about 4 years ago here in San Jose and it never flowered. I figured I had nothing to lose so I fertilized it with a little 15-15-15 and it died. It grew to be about 12' across so my neighbor was not sorry to see it go. I bought it in Santa Barbara where it is cooler during the Summer and they bloom beautifully down there. | http://forums.botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/threads/echium-fastuosum-from-seed.33279/ | 1,495,648,157 | 1,495,648,157 |

Hollywood is full of "what if" casting stories that never fail to delight us. From Nicolas Cage almost portraying Superman to Tom Cruise nearly taking on the role of Tony Stark, these hypothetical scenarios constantly keep us wondering what could've been if things had gone slightly differently. One possible superhero casting that almost occurred twenty years ago was Russell Crowe as Wolverine for Bryan Singer's X-Men. The actor was reportedly a frontrunner for the part, but he ultimately turned it down because of the perceived similarities Maximus Aurelius' wolf motif from Gladiator. Crowe explained:
If you remember, Maximus has a wolf at the centre of his cuirass, and he has a wolf as his companion ... which I thought was going to be a bigger deal [at the time]. So I said no, because I didn't want to be 'wolfy', like 'Mr Wolf.'
During a recent appearance on Nova's Fizty and Wippa radio show (via Russell Crowe admitted that he was at one point considered for the role of Wolverine in the first X-Men movie. Although it was a seemingly perfect casting choice, he turned down the role because he felt that the wolf symbol of Maximus from Gladiator bore too much similarity to the Marvel character. Faced with a potential typecasting situation, Crowe passed on the role -- which subsequently went to fellow Aussie Dougray Scott, before finally landing on Hugh Jackman when Scott's commitments to Mission: Impossible II went over schedule.
Of course, Russell Crowe eventually did manage to join the superhero genre -- albeit as a member of the DC universe, instead of the Marvel universe. He quite literally started the DCEU as Superman's father Jor-El during the events of Man of Steel and paved the way for DC's entire slate movies.
That said, it now seems that Russell Crowe has moved on from superhero cinematic universes for something considerably different. With his upcoming role as Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde in The Mummy, he will become a focal point the in burgeoning Universal Monsters Universe -- which is something that we're beyond excited for. The internal dichotomy of Jekyll and Hyde relies on the concept of a man struggling with his inner beast, so it looks like we may soon see Crowe's take on Wolverine (in a manner of speaking) after all.
In the end, I think we can safely say that we're happy with the way things turned out. Hugh Jackman's take on Wolverine has become legendary, and Russell Crowe's upcoming stint as Dr. Jekyll looks insane -- in the best possible way. The Mummy will hit theaters later this summer on June 9; stay tuned for more details! | http://www.cinemablend.com/news/1660999/the-real-reason-russell-crowe-turned-down-the-wolverine-role | 1,495,640,330 | null |

“There is nothing better than the feeling of strangers getting together solely
to better the world,” Ms. Noriko Hino (middle in the black T-shirt), the founder of NY de Volunteer.
Volunteerism, a system in which strangers help other strangers in need without any kind of reward, derived from the special innate ability and desire for human beings to care for another, may exist all over the globe, and though the idea may be popular, its powers often go well underestimated. As the world witnessed the recent tragedy in Japan unfold, it became a powerful reminder to us all that without it, the world simply cannot function. Yet, disaster areas are not the only places volunteerism is needed. Often, situations that need help are not advertised, existing quietly under the radar. Just as unnoticed, however, are the local volunteer non-profit organizations that seek out individuals and situations to give help.
One such group that exists here in NY is called NY de Volunteer, and they are helping our community in various ways. Since the organization runs one of the afterschool programs in the city, I decided to visit the program which was taking place in a recreation center in Brooklyn to see this marvelous group in action. The afterschool program, commissioned by the city, is just one small portion of the organization’s work, but a very important one that aims to create a cultural bridge between the youth of America and the Japanese culture.
Students learn simple Japanese words. The theme of the day is weather.
The program is targeted for Inner City Public School Students between the ages of 6 to 13, and the organization tours institutions like a traveling circus making an appearance once a week to each institution. The content of the program is decided by the instructors and changes every time to keep the children engaged. The day I visited, the children were getting introduced to Japanese kimono as well as Japanese tea ceremony. Volunteers come from all walks of life, and this day there were about 12. Among them, a Japanese-American man who had learned to speak fluent Japanese during his involvement with the organization for the last 3 years, and an American teacher who had been living in Japan for 8 years. This allowed the children to learn about the Japanese culture from various angles.
The volunteers greeted the children dressed in kimono as the children entered the classroom excitedly. Then the children themselves were given a chance to put on the garment. They then got into a circle and introduced themselves in Japanese, which they did very well only after a few visits by the volunteers. Then four important concepts of Japanese tea ceremony: harmony, respect, cleanliness, and calmness were introduced. The children were told to be perfectly quiet as they entered the tea ceremony room, and though they were a rambunctious bunch, they paid attention very well, and seeing each of them on their knees and turning the cup, drinking tea with such politeness and good posture was the most adorable sight. Considering how bitter maccha is, it was surprising how most seemed to love the tea, except for a few that did pull some faces or rub their tongues with tissue. But the part they most enjoyed was no doubt, the Japanese sweets that came with the tea.
Students experience traditional tea ceremony.
Catching up with some of the children at the end of the day, one boy said he thought the day was “a nice experience, and the sweet treat was delicious”, while a girl told me “the tea was awful, but the tea ceremony was quiet and nice”. I could tell that not only the program itself, but each of the volunteers gave to these children and the children to the volunteers, something they would remember for years to come, which we hope cultivates a path towards a deeper cultural understanding and respect towards one another for our future generations.

This step-by-step guide can be used by practically anyone to remove malware from WordPress. However, you must be willing to get your hands a little dirty, and be comfortable with FTP and File Manager.
Step 1: Scan Your Computer
When malware infects your WordPress site it is actually quite common if you don't stay on top the game and update regularly as well monitor your logs. So first things first is to make sure your computer is virus-free. We recommend scanning at least with Malware Bytes, and to be doubly safe, another anti-virus such as NOD32 or Kaspersky.
Step 2: Change Your Password
Now that your computer is virus free, you should change your cPanel and FTP password. Make sure it is something random, with at least 1 special character like ! # & %, a mix of lower and uppercase letters plus numbers. We recommend using a password manager tool such as LastPass to not only generate secure passwords but store and manage them for you too.
Step 3: Download WordPress
Download the latest fresh WordPress package from the official site.
Step 4: Extract Files
Extract the files from the zip or tar.gz that you have just downloaded onto your computer. Leave those files there for now. We will come back to them later.
Step 5: Removing The Malware Infection
Login to your FTP or cPanel > File Manager.
Your WordPress installation files on your web host should look like this:
Delete everything you see there except for the wp-content folder, and the wp-config.php file.
Now your installation should look like:
wp-contentwp-config.php
In your cPanel > File Manager, click on and edit the wp-config.php file. Make sure there are no strange codes or anything unusual. If there is malware in this file, it will generally look like a long string of random text. You can compare it to the wp-config-sample.php file to be sure.
Now go into the wp-content folder. It should look like:
Make a list of the plugins you are currently using, then remove the plugins folder and index.php file. You will need to re-install your plugins after the cleaning process.
Go into the themes folder, and remove any theme which you are not using. You will then need to individually check each file in your current theme to make sure there is no malware or strange codes in them. If you have a clean backup of your theme somewhere (like on your computer), then to be safe you should just delete the entire themes folder.
Check every directory inside your uploads folder to make sure there are no php files or anything that you may not have uploaded.
Step 6: Re-upload WordPress
The fresh WordPress files that you extracted earlier in Step 4 can now be uploaded via FTP.
If you removed your theme you should also re-upload your clean backup theme files.
Step 7: Change WordPress Admin Password and Re-install Plugins
You should now be able to access your dashboard, and change your admin password. Always use a random hard to guess password. Don’t be tempted to use something basic like welcome or ilovekittens(actual passwords used by some of our clients). You will get hacked this way.
If you don’t want to use a random password like xSpM82!#3&W, then pick an uncommon phrase with 3 or more words like MyKitten<3sMe. A strong password is one with uncommon words, at least 1 number, 1 special character and a mix of upper and lower case characters.
Step 8: Remove Google Warning
Now that your site is free of malware, you can submit your site to Google to get the warning “This site may harm your computer” removed. Login or create an account at Google Webmaster Tools, add your site, click Health, and then click Malware. and finally Request A Review.
Disclaimer: While these steps may help remove malware from your site it is not a complete guide and therefore we are not responsible for any damage or data loss that could happen from attempting to remove malware. We always encourage you to consult a professional who can ensure the correct measures are taken to negate any further damage already caused from a malware infected website. | http://deliriousdev.blogspot.com/2015/01/this-step-by-step-guide-can-be-used-by.html | 1,495,558,492 | 1,495,071,891 |

The Fantastic Four of Earth-1228 were, in reality, the bullpen of Marvel Comics. One day in Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Flo Steinberg and Sol Brodsky were in the office when they got a package from the mysterious S People whom gifted them with a device that was supposed to provide them with their greatest fantasies. Opening the box, the group would be bombarded with cosmic rays instead and mutated to have super-human abilities. Stan had an elastic body, Sol would bust into flame, Flo would become invisible and Jack would mutate into a rock like thing. Deciding to learn who the S People were and finding a cure for their current mutated states. They would call themselves the Fantastic Four and set themselves up in the Baxter Building and have many adventures, while maintaining their double lives as comic book publishers. They would use these adventures as inspiration for a fictional Fantastic Four comic book which became very popular.
When they would go to the island owned by Dr. Morrow they would learn that he too had been mutated into a monster thanks to another one of the S People's boxes. Later, after convincing Jack to stay with the team, the group would travel to Atlantis, where the Sub-Mariner would blame the Fantastic Four for sending him a similar box. After a brief battle the truth would come out and they would decide that the threat must come from alien sources. Using Namor's extraterrestrial detector, they would learn the alien invader was within the very throne room. The invader would reveal himself to be a Skrull and explain that the boxes were a tool to turn the people of Earth into mindless slaves as part of their invasion plans. The Fantastic Four and the Sub-Mariner would team up and chase the Skrull back to its base and destroy it and all their boxes ending their invasion threat. With no cure available, the Fantastic Four would continue to operate as a team[1].
In another adventure, the Fantastic Four would be suddenly put in the presence of their realities Watcher whom was forcibly transported in front of the group by the Heralds of Earth-9997 in an attempt to hopefully get the FF to eventually learn that their Earth had been impregnated with a Celestial embryo[2]. The outcome of this encounter remains unrevealed. | http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Fantastic_Four_(Earth-1228) | 1,495,846,373 | 1,487,231,209 |

SAN ANTONIO – When Cierre Wood went through the recruiting process he wanted to pick a school not only for its football tradition but also for what will happen after he's done playing sports. That's why he picked Notre Dame, and that's why he believes leaving southern California for South Bend was the smart move.
"I felt it was a good decision for me not just in a football aspect but also a life aspect," said Wood, a 6-foot, 195-pound five-star running back from Santa Clara (Calif.) Oxnard.
"When you're an athlete, you should have more than just football to rely on. You should have also a Plan B and that's why I chose Notre Dame. They have one of the strongest alumni systems out there. I wanted to be connected that way and be set for life after football."
UCLA was the school Wood have committed to if not for Notre Dame, which has also picked up pledges from two other players from the state of California – Inglewood wide receiver Shaquelle Evans, who's also at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl – and San Bernardino Cajon defensive back Marlon Pollard.
Some commits choose to push other players to a certain school but Wood, one of the top 11 players at the loaded Football University camp last summer in Paisley, Fla., said that wasn't his style. He wanted Evans, who also considered UCLA, Southern Cal and many others, to make his own decision.
"I met (Evans) somewhere, and he said he was looking at places, and what not and he said he was considering Notre Dame," Wood said. "I didn't talk to anybody about going there. Everybody is like, 'Talk to this guy,' but that's not my thing.
"If they want to go, they want to go. If they don't, they don't. He chose it on his own. He saw what I saw and what everybody else goes there and wants to go there sees so he picked it on his own. It's a good thing that he's going there."
Another average season at Notre Dame and concerns about coach Charlie Weis' future has done nothing to dissuade Wood from his decision. If anything, it has invigorated him and reinforced his choice.
"It's like (Notre Dame is) the nerd that everybody is picking on," Wood said. "Basically, I want to go there and not just me but everybody else who is coming too, we want to go there and change things around. We want to be known as the class that changed things around."
Wood finished his senior season with 1,622 rushing yards and 20 touchdowns on 143 carries. He added eight catches for 182 yards and four scores and returned a kickoff for a TD. Wood ran for 2,612 yards and 34 touchdowns in his junior year. | https://n.rivals.com/news/wood-pleased-with-irish-pick | 1,495,920,864 | null |
Report from Australia: The gals saw some of the partial phases, but totality was obscured by cloud. Sigh!
The Moon's conical shadow is as long and thin as a rapier, and by coincidence it is just about as long as the slightly variable distance between the Moon and Earth. Sometimes when the Moon gets between the Sun and Earth the tip of the shadow doesn't quite reach to the surface of the Earth and we have an annular eclipse (a thin ring of sunlight surrounds the Moon); these are the red bands on Monday's map. But the really spectacular events are totality, when the tip of the shadow-rapier slices into the body of the Earth. The "gash" is the path of totality, the blue bands on the map. If you want to see a total solar eclipse you must be standing somewhere in this band, preferably near the centerline. With a clear sky. If the Moon were a bit smaller or a bit farther away, we wouldn't have total solar eclipses at all. If the Moon were bigger or closer, eclipses would be more common. As it is, the sizes and distances are such that these mind-blowing events are deliciously rare. As you look at the 20-year map, you can guess that the chance of having a total eclipse at the place where you live during your lifetime is small. An average wait is about 400 years. How long would it take for the entire map of the Earth to be "painted blue"? That is, what is the longest time any particular place on Earth would have to wait for a total solar eclipse? The answer: 4,500 years. Unless you want to travel, don't hold your breath. Some folks now alive in Arkansas (2024/2045) or southern Illinois (2017/2024) will experience two total solar eclipses in their lifetime without leaving home.
But you can see from Monday's map how rare it is that two blue bands cross. Has any spot on Earth experienced three total solar eclipses in a lifetime? I would guess so, but I don't have the patience to churn through the NASA atlas.
I do notice, however, that our place in Exuma in almost dead centerline for the eclipse of 2045. Oh how I'd like to be sitting on my own terrace (the black dot) and watch that event. Six minutes of totality! Compared to two minutes for the Cairns eclipse and not far off the maximum. Alas, I'll be long gone. Maybe the house will still be in the family and aged children (Tom, our youngest, will be 75) or grandchildren will be there. | http://blog.sciencemusings.com/2012/11/darkness-at-noon.html | 1,496,056,532 | 1,488,768,313 |
In Hovering FlightJoyce HinnefeldUnbridled, Sep 2008, $24.95ISBN: 1932961585Renowned aviary and overall environmental artist Addie Sturmer Kavanagh is dying from cancer. She makes a final death wish to "clear orders for a brazenly illegal burial". Meanwhile her thirtyish years old daughter Scarlet comes home not to just to bury her mom, but to finally understand her mom. Even her death request is so Addie, weird to anyone except perhaps the inner sanctum.Addie was just another bored art major when she fell in love with Professor Tom Kavanagh and his passion for birds. They became a formidable entry in the environmental activist movements and antiwar protests. Some time after Scarlet is born, Addie changed from gung ho bird lover to outraged political warrior. Her tormented switch left Scarlet and to a degree Tom behind; now Scarlet needs to know from Addie’s beloved friends Cora and Lou why to include a special funeral at the Jersey shore instead of her Pennsylvania home.The key to this terrific character study is the seemingly dysfunctional relationship between mother and daughter. Scarlet has felt neglected by her mom all her life; in fact she believes the search for proof that the Cuvier’s Knight is an extinct aviary species superseded her needs. Still IN HOVERING FLIGHT pattern, Scarlet wants to soar like her mom did, but before she can use her wings she needs to know why in her opinion the environment and birds meant more to Addie than her daughter ever did. This is a superb relationship drama.Harriet Klausner | http://mainstreamfiction.blogspot.com/2008/09/in-hovering-flight-joyce-hinnefeld.html | 1,495,675,370 | 1,448,993,527 |

Wednesday, 1st March - March started warm and sunny with breakfast and lunch outside. I attended the final art class - six weeks have flown. It has been really interesting although I am not quite ready to exhibit!The next couple of days were warm and dry with blue skies and sunshine. The snow is gradually disappearing from the mountains. On Friday afternoon we enjoyed a walk by the Diktamos gorge which is now dry again.

This is the planting season and land is being cleared ready for new crops. The tidy-up of the villages has begun. Tavernas are having a facelift ready for the tourist season. The pot holes in the roads, caused by the winter rains, have been filled in, making driving less traumatic.
Saturday, 4th March - I undertook my first mountain drive and we took a picnic to another favourite spot - the church at Tsakistra where we parked and then walked into the mountains. It was a lovely day with blue sky and sunshine. Roy's day was made complete when he watched a 'Bearded Vulture', for about 20 minutes, through his telescope.Wild flowers are appearing everywhere. Plants are growing at a fast rate. The next day was glorious weather so we went to the mountains again.

It was carnival time in Crete - a chance to feast and celebrate before the Lenten fast begins. Children and adults wear fancy dress costumes and masks. The shops are full of a wonderful selection of costumes.Monday, 6th March - 'Clean Monday' marks the beginning of the forty day fast leading up to Easter. Kite flying is a tradition on this day.
It was hot and sunny again with blue skies - 23C. I drove to Maheri gorge where I left Roy birdwatching while I wandered down the hill to explore Maheri. I walked around looking at the picturesque houses but it was too hot for much exploring!

Early evening the wind became really strong again. Everything outside rattled and banged most of the night. We then had torrential rain and a storm. The weather is certainly varied.
Tuesday, 7th March - today weather is cooler with just a few glimpses of the sun. One advantage is it gives me a chance to update the website. As I sit here by the window I can see freesias and honeysuckle flowering in the garden. Today we had salad from our own small patch of garden for lunch.The next few days continued to be cool with some rain and glimpses of the sun. More snow fell in the mountains.Friday, 10th March - we called in at Vamos to see Tilly - who had been our neighbour during last winter. We enjoyed a chat and coffee. As the weather was brighter we enjoyed a walk at Douliana.The next day we enjoyed lunch at Alan and Margaret's house at Exopoli. Early evening the wind became stronger and we had rain. The wind increased overnight with lots of 'banging' and 'rattling'.The next few days were cooler with rain showers. We still managed to enjoy some local walks during the brighter spells.
Saturday, 18th March - blue skies and sunshine again so we took a picnic to lake Kournas where it was warm and sunny.That evening we had been invited to a meal in Vamos with Tilly and Jim. We enjoyed a delicious meal and talked for several hours. It was Sunday by the time we returned to Provarma.
Sunday, 19th March - we had a walk by the river near Stilos. The recent rains and melting snow had swollen the river and the bad weather had created natural dams of rubbish, wood and bamboo. That evening at 5 p.m. we had been invited to the home of some Austrian friends in Provarma village. Our hostess had baked a huge traditional Austrian cake layered with cream and crammed with chocolate. We enjoyed this with coffee and then had an Austrian liqueur. It was very enjoyable.Roy's back problem persisted so he was referred to a physiotherapist in Souda. He attended twice a week for the next few weeks.
The weather became warmer again - it was t-shirt weather.
Thursday, 23rd - the wind had been increasing and it was very warm. The wind brought more of the red dust from Africa. The air was full of dust obscuring the sun. The temperature reached 30C.
I was delighted to receive a beautiful bouquet of pink lilies, pink and red roses for 'Mother's Day', from Ian, Jan and Sophie in England. The next couple of days were cooler but dry and overcast. We were pleased to received a box of oranges from our Austrian friend.Tuesday, 28th March - my parents, in England, celebrated their 66th wedding anniversary. It would have been nice to have been with them.
Wednesday, 29th March - blue sky and sunshine all day so we took a picnic to Melidoni. It was warm, sunny and peaceful. The herbs scented the air and there
were lots of butterflies and flowers. This was the day of the eclipse of the sun and the light was subdued. It was still 22C at 5.30 p.m.
March ended with blue skies and sunshine. The build up to Easter continues with everything being tidied and made ready for Easter and summer. The chanting of the priests was often heard throughout the valley. | http://cretewww.com/rayes/page20.htm | 1,496,115,866 | 1,200,522,697 |

IMAM proposed the IMAM Ro.30, an improved Ro.1 (the Ro.1 was actually a Fokker C.V built under license in Italy) with a defensive turret and better engine. Limited numbers were built but a larger order was rejected by the Regio Esercito and the aircraft was not chosen for mass production, being only capable of 200 km/h (110 knots), five hours endurance, a climb rate of 4,000 m (13,000 feet) in 20 minutes, and had three weapons.

CHRIS MASSOGLIA (Darren) was introduced to acting through workshops at a local dance school in Minneapolis. Shortly after starting an acting class and after a nationwide casting call, Massoglia was one of three kids flown to New York to audition for a feature film opposite Nicole Kidman. At that time, Massoglia signed with an agency for representation in New York and Los Angeles, and he began to work steadily in television. His television credits include series-regular roles in TNT's Wanted and TBS'Boy's Life. He also had a recurring role on NBC's Medical Investigation and guest-starred on NBC's Law & Order: Criminal Intent. In 2007, Massoglia made his feature debut with a lead role in the family film A Plumm Summer. He also stars in Joe Dante's (Gremlins) The Hole 3D for Bold Films. The film, which tells the story of two brothers who stumble upon a mysterious hole that leads to the darkest corridors of their fears, premiered at the 2009 Venice and Toronto international film festivals. In 2008, Massoglia was named one of the "10 Actors to Watch” in Variety's Young Talent issue. He continues to reside with his family in Minneapolis. | http://www.cinemareview.com/cast.asp?movieid=539920&castid=5538 | 1,495,558,880 | null |
Hello all, Can I edit a concept name after I used the concept? I am not changing anything but the name. Thanks

Yes. You can edit a concept name after it is used. You cannot change the data type or remove answers for a coded concept after they have been used.
It would okay to edit a name to fix a typo or better clarify the meaning. It would be bad practice to change a concept's name in a way that changes its meaning after it has been used. In those cases, it is better to retire the concept and create a new one.

Just to confirm what Burke has said... CIEL does not change the names after they have been released. Each concept_name has a unique ID and changing the name would be bad practice. We do change capitalization (eventually getting to sentence casing) and occasionally remove double spaces, etc. Most people are not terminologists and knowing what is acceptable to change and what changes the meaning of the term is not always clear. When in doubt, create a new concept or ask for help. | https://talk.openmrs.org/t/editing-concepts-after-using-them/10491 | 1,495,810,487 | null |

Public School needs Promotional Video By Kevin Rossiter | 26th March 2010 | 0 Q: We are thinking of doing a five minute video to promote the school – stills, action sequences, voiceover (at least for the introduction and closure) with the opportunity to translate this with subtitles for the various overseas markets we recruit in. We have a house ‘style’ and colours that would need replicating so that the video would look like our website work.
What ideas could you suggest?
Any idea of a ball-park figure for what this would cost?
Head MasterUK Public School
A: Promotional video for schools falls in a category all of its own, particularly a public school whose sales and profits depend on fairly wealthy parents making a substantial financial commitment to their child’s education, year on year.
The message has to be transmitted on a number of levels. Think of it as a multi-layered message.
On the obvious level, the school needs to show its facilities, such as the science labs, the sports fields, games, the music room and orchestra, and the classrooms for the various years catered for from nursery, pre-school, junior and senior schools, plus sixth form college, as well as ability-impaired and dyslexics, or attention deficit disorder children.
But a tour of facilities is not the reason why a parent would select a school.
It needs something more remarkable.
And this will come from the teaching staff and the children themselves.
Have a look at video samples on our Promotional Video for Schools page
It would be great to set up a dialogue, filmed on video, between the teachers and the pupils, all commenting on various aspects of the school and its community, while visibly demonstrating the quality of life they experience. Filming teacher-student opinions count for a lot.
At this level it’s possible to touch the hearts of parents, and make them feel the school is the “right place” for their child.
Topics for discussion can be almost anything, but quality of life, opinions on teachers, attitudes to achievement, attitudes to other pupils (bullying vs caring etc), all make lively discussion topics.
Extending this idea of levels further, there’s an academic achievement level that has to be shown.
Parents want to know where the school ranks, how many GCSE Grade A and C passes it gets, and so on.
And what prizes have the school won, eg maths challenges, poetry competitions, sports events, etc?
And last but not least, there are all the extracurricular and child development activities to consider.
With so much potential content, it would be easier to produce to make a 30 minute documentary than an 8 minute promotional video.
This is where professional script & shoot planning comes in.
The professional pre-production process will allow you to map out all your options in detail in advance, then whittle them down to must-have “winner content” that will help build a remarkable video message, compared to simply nice-to-know information that will be better served as part of the website or brochure text, or specific PR publications.
This is because the video is about winning the hearts and minds of web site visitors, and not necessarily describing every level of excellence the school achieves or aspires to.
Last but not least, the whole marketing video production needs editing, post producing, titling and packaging in the school’s corporate style.
Hopefully the above reply contains enough initial pointers for any head master planning a promotional video for a public school. | http://www.rossiterandco.com/marketing/public-school-needs-promotional-video/ | 1,495,668,344 | null |

Synopsis: Is church discipline really necessary? One sixteenth-century Anabaptist reformer certainly thought so. A contemporary of Luther and Zwingli, Balthasar Hubmaier believed that church discipline was so important that he included the doctrine in every major area of his theology. Not only did church discipline appear in his doctrine of humanity, salvation, and the church, as a theoretical construct, but he also included practical instructions regarding its implementation in the life of the church. In this book Goncharenko examines Hubmaier's teaching on discipline and considers its relevance to the church today. Endorsements: "Simon Goncharenko's most welcome study of the place of discipline in Balthasar Hubmaier's understanding of the church is characterized by jargon-free, flowing prose. Through a patient probing of the sources and development of Hubmaier's mature thought, he shows the coherence--without bypassing occasional inconsistencies--in his subject's thought. Goncharenko is steeped in the secondary as well as primary literature on his subject and gives well-considered reasons for his assessment of the growing and diverse body of scholarly literature on Hubmaier's theology. In addition to his considerable academic achievement the author offers pastors a compellingly articulated model for a believers' church." --John D. Rempel Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary "In Wounds That Heal, Dr. Goncharenko has done a masterful job introducing the reader to one of the most important and biblically minded pastors in the Reformation, Dr. Balthasar Hubmaier. In this thoroughly researched work, Goncharenko discusses crucial topics for the contemporary reader--salvation, discipleship, and church discipline--and, through the life of the Anabaptist martyr, persuasively reminds us that the best theologians given by the Lord to His Church are the ones who adhere to a strict biblicism. While there are many deep theological discussions and insights within this fabulous work, the reader will also gain a powerful understanding of the importance of the belief in the sufficiency of Scripture upon the Christian life." --Emir F. Caner Truett-McConnell College "'Church discipline as an integrative theological motif? ' Today, many theologians would decry such a notion as hopelessly arcane, even a potential threat to theological freedom. Yet the same scholars routinely lament the atomization of humanity, the demise of community, and the division of the theological disciplines. In Wounds That Heal, Simon Goncharenko demonstrates through Balthasar Hubmaier that redemptive church discipline may bridge anthropology with ecclesiology, dogma with praxis, and sanctification with justification inter alia. This is a text worthy of close and attentive reading." --Malcolm B. Yarnell III Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary Author Biography: Simon Goncharenko is the Founding Pastor of 21 Fellowship (SBC) in Midway, Texas, and a regular contributor to the Prayer Message Segment of Houston's KHCB (105.7FM) Radio Network. | https://www.cokesbury.com/forms/ProductDetail.aspx?pid=1091155 | 1,496,086,838 | 1,496,086,824 |
Former Xtra-Factor presenter Caroline Flack posted a topless photo of her new back tattoo on Instagram, but we think it’s a little reminiscent of something.
One of Harry’s most famous tattoos is a butterfly on his stomach.
Though Caroline’s design is slightly different, we wonder if Caroline was subconsciously thinking of a certain someone when she had it done.
The two dated briefly in 2012 after meeting on the X-Factor. The match was met with controversy due to the pair’s 14 year age difference. | http://www.shemazing.net/which-harry-styles-ex-just-got-a-copy-cat-tattoo/ | 1,495,742,954 | 1,407,420,234 |

Hiram Kirkpatrick, farmer, section 27, Clinton Township, is a son of Jesse and Ruth (Smiley) Kirkpatrick. (See sketch of Jesse Kirkpatrick) Hiram was born in Perry Co., Pa., July 23, 1827. He received a common school education and lived on the parental homestead until 1845. He then apprenticed himself to learn the blacksmith trade and worked three years in Cumberland Co., Pa., under his indentures. After mastering his trade, he worked for his old employer two years, and then entered into partnership with him. The partnership existed for one year, when it was dissolved by mutual consent.
In the spring of 1852, Mr. K. moved to Dayton, Ohio, and there employed in a machine shop for about one and a half years. In the summer of 1853 he removed to Hagerstown, Ind., and for a year was foreman in a car shop, and also worked at his trade one year.
In 1856, Mr. K. came to this county with his wife and child, and purchased 85 acres of land on sections 22 and 27, Clinton Township, on which he settled and continuously resided until the present time. He is at present the owner of 400 acres of land, all situated in Clinton Township, 350 of which is in a good tillable condition. After coming to this county he followed his trade at his home until 1862.
Mr. Kirkpatrick was united in marriage to Mary M. Thomas, in Carlisle, Cumberland Co., Pa., Nov. 16, 1854. She was a daughter of William and Susanna (Aply) Thomas natives of Vermont and Pa. They were married and resided in that State until the date of her father’s death, March 9, 1839. After her father’s death her mother came to this county and made her residence with her daughter, Mrs. K., until her death, June 8, 1874. There were the parents of four children, namely: Samuel, Caroline, William B. and Mary M.
Mary M., wife of Mr. K., was born in Gettysburg, Pa., March 9, 1831, and is the mother of five children by Mr. K. The living are: Arestes J., Ira T., Niles H., and Minnie M. One child died in infancy.
Mr. Kirkpatrick has held the office of Highway Commissioner for several years, that of School Director and other offices of minor import. In politics he is a Republican. He and his wife are members of the Presbyterian Church. Mrs. K united with the Methodist Church in York Co., Pa., when she was 15 years of age, and has been a communicant of that Church and the Presbyterian every day since.
Mr. Kirkpatrick has been a resident of this county for nearly 30 years, and during that period has won the esteem and respect of a large circle of friends extending throughout the county. As a worthy gentleman and representative citizen of DeKalb County, we insert his portrait in this volume. | http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ilslrhm/Bios_Kirkpatrick_Hiram.htm | 1,495,483,546 | null |

One of my earliest childhood memories......I remember my mother's almond shaped eyes,black flowing hair,soft and melodious voice.I can remember how she washes the dishes in a clockwise manner.She often wore pink clothes and loved to shop.She had rosy cheeks and black eyes.
One of my earliest childhood memories......I remember the playground that was recently built.I could smell freshly coated paint and the playground was a blur of colours.I remember swinging from the swings and climbing monkey bars.I remember seeing my neighbourhood friends and we would play dodgeball and catching.I remember playing soccer and blind mice.I remember the smooth texture from the slide.
One of my earliest childhood memories...I remember the smell of scrambled eggs coming from the kitchen.I remember the kuvino's fruit juice machine and air fryer.I remember eating sausages,scrambled eggs and hash brown.I remember the crispy hash brown's delicious taste.I remember my family sitting together,laughing at lame jokes while eating breakfast.I remember my brother's sly smile when he tried to steal my hash brown.
These are my earliest childhood memories.
Task 2-
The street layed before her...Charmaine was walking home from her tuition centre when she decided to take a shortcut.The gustling wind brushed past her and she shivered."I'm not afraid of the dark."Charmaine told herself.
Charmaine thought she had seen a pair of small beady eyes looking at her from behind her shoulder.She turned to face them,but they disappeared.Her blood turned cold and she quickened her pace.Then,she thought she had seen a shadow vanish in front of her.She froze,paralysed with terror.
Her hands started to feel clammy and her teeth chattered
The eyes seemed to multiply and the shadows seemed bigger.When the cloud covered up the moon,Charmaine felt like she was enveloped in a blanket of darkness.Charmaine quickly dashed to a shopping centre.On her way there,she stumbled and fell. | http://2016s1-03langarts.blogspot.com/2016/01/gavin-tay-creative-writing-task.html | 1,495,516,620 | 1,494,519,714 |
The Floyd Country Store has become a traditional gathering place on Friday nights for musicians, dancers, and visitors from all over the world. The Friday Night Jamboree is an outstanding and authentic experience shared by old-timers and new visitors alike.
Many of those who attend the Jamboree are regulars, and for them, the Jamboree is a place to see old friends week after week. But the Jamboree also gets visitors every week from all across the country, and very frequently from around the world.
Articles about the Jamboree have appeared in many state and national newspapers including the New York Times, The Washington Post and Britain’s Daily Mail. Country Living magazine identified the Floyd County Store as one of the two best places in the country to hear bluegrass music (the other place was a club in New York City).
At the Jamboree, we’re all very proud of and grateful to the musicians who bring their instruments and their talent to the store every week. The show starts every Friday at 6:30 p.m and they will play till we close around 10:30p.m.
And the great music isn’t just heard on stage. During the warmer months, the Jamboree becomes something of a miniature fiddler’s convention, with bands playing in the alleys, driveways and parking lots.
The Jamboree operates on “Granny’s Rules” – no smoking, no drinking alcohol, no bad language, and no conduct unbecoming to a lady or a gentleman. It’s a great time for the whole family, and you’re likely to see kids from six to ninety-six out on our hardwood dance floor. You may even be one of them.
Visitors, especially tourists from the distant urban areas, will stand hesitantly outside the door, watching dancers wheel and sway to the music. Then after a few minutes, they find themselves tapping their toes to the irresistible beat of bluegrass music and they step lightly over the threshold and join the happy dancers in front of the stage. Many a flatlander has found out they have clogging in their blood when that old time music hits their soul.
So come see us at the Jamboree! Admission is only $5.00. The Jamboree is a kind of happening that is hard to find anymore – musicians coming together to play just for the love of the music, and people getting together just for the fun of it. It’s an experience you won’t soon forget.
Please take note that seating is limited and in the summer and fall months the store gets very crowded. In good weather, there is plenty of room outside to enjoy the music, If a seat is important to you please come early. Tickets go on sale at 4:45pm. | http://www.floydcountrystore.com/music/jamboree | 1,495,516,619 | null |

Mar 17, 2014 Laura Fedele, via For a slightly younger generation, the Staples Singers evoke memories of avocado colored refrigerators and polyester pants. Not a bad thing, necessarily, but certainly not the reason you should know the name Mavis Staples. In the new book, "I’ll Take You There," music journalist Greg Kot connects the dots between modern American culture and the great migration as African-Americans moved from the deep south to Chicago. Mavis Staples is part of the fabric of Chicago, Kot tells Texas Standard's David Brown. "[She's] a cultural institution. Her family is a cultural institution," he says. © 2017 KUT Program schedule | http://kut.org/term/mavis-staples | 1,495,715,398 | 1,484,570,099 |

Seeking the Source
This mandala is a kind of inversion of the previous one – even to the extent of “breaking the rules” and creating it from the edge inwards instead of from the centre outwards. There is still a Celtic knot as a foundation but the trees are reaching for the centre instead of stretching out. For this one, I tried for the first time to divide the circle into a number other than eight. The twelve divisions give a very different feel – there are connotations such as clocks or rose windows… I expect this mandala to be quite transformed by the addition of colour and will post again once the painting layer is done.
Tom had a preview of this one and has already produced this potent poem to accompany it – Thank you! 🙂
Reaching upward toward the changeless Sky filled with swallows turning as they fly
Deeply rooted in the fertile Earth entangled moments giving joyous birth
To connection: linked embodied minds souls well met, butterflies in kind
Thrusting inward to the source of all bending outward, answering the call
Of root and branch and leaf to grow and thrive a flower blossom opening, alive!

seeking in the forest and finding the unexpected
forest mandala quadrant
When I was drawing this mandala, I thought of greens and purples …I was thinking mysterious …but the more I painted, the more it became instead suffused with joy. I hope it lifts your heart to look at it as mine was while creating it. | https://greenteadoodles.wordpress.com/tag/ink/ | 1,495,939,834 | null |
Human Rights "The first seven years of the Arroyo administration brought, not only intense economic instability and impoverishment, but also death to many of its critics. Those accused of “destabilizing her government” were silenced through the state’s military and police forces. Oplan Bantay-Laya directed the organizing and setting loose of death squads – mostly motorcycle-riding men wearing bonnets – primarily in provincial urban centers to go after members of leftist organizations."

Recorded in 1993, but not released in the U.S. until 1997, this lineup of Gong includes Daevid Allen, Didier Malherbe, Pip Pyle, Gilli Smyth, Steffi Sharpstrings, Mike Howlett, Keith Bailey, Graham Clark, Shyamal Maitra, and Twink.
I've always had a special place in my musical heart for Gong. Their unique mix of space, psych, rock, folk, and jazz is sometimes intense, but always whimsically fun. However, until Shapeshifter I really hadn't heard any of Gong's or Daevid's post-70's recorded works.
Shapeshifter is a collection of tunes in the classic Gong style that also explores different, and sometimes surprising types of music. The 21 tracks range from 7 seconds to 13 minutes and are an aural collage of styles, sounds and tomfoolery. And the band on this disc is a tight ensemble of seasoned musicians. Some highlights include:
"Hymnalayas" and "Elephant La Cuisse" are both examples of >Gong's cosmic combination of rock and fusion. Hymnalayas is a bouncy, spacey number with some gorgeous violin and horn work. Elephant also has some great violin and struck me as a candidate for the theme from a police show. Sort of a cross between Mission Impossible and Miami Vice. (Now you all know
how my brain works.)
"Loli" and "White Doves" are classic Daevid acoustic tunes. In fact, Loli would have been right at home on Now Is The Happiest Time Of Your Life. And White Doves has a theatrical show tune quality to it. Can you just see Daevid on Broadway?
On the wilder side are "Dog-O-Matic" and "Heaven's Gate". Dog-O-Matic is Gong's version of steroid-level techno dance music. Unlike typical techno, though, they manage to fit in horns and a short wailing guitar solo. Very interesting. Heaven's Gate is a lively, funky number with rapping
by bassist Keith Bailey and a coffeehouse jazz feel. The song covers numerous moods, styles, and dynamic shifts. One of my favorite tracks.
The great instrumental pieces on the disc are "Can You: You Can" and "Goddess Invocation Om Riff", both recorded live. Can You is nearly 10 minutes of intense, rockin' space fusion and features some cool low-end zheul bass. A great finale, Goddess is classic psych-jazz. Great sax playing and wailing guitar solos.
Shapeshifter was a perfect title for this disc as from track to track the band, chameleon-like, assumes countless musical identities. It is an outstanding effort demonstrating that this band with a nearly 30-year history is alive, fresh, and going strong. | http://www.aural-innovations.com/issues/issue2/gong01.html | 1,495,762,661 | 1,190,843,085 |
Three 18"x36"" oil paintings on gallery wrapped canvas. Similar paintings can be purchased from: from the artist, Jenny FloravitaI wanted to share with you three lovely tropical flower paintings that I will be installing later today. The middle painting is based on my larger 48"x36" oil, Anthurium Jungle. Each painting had to be strong in composition to stand on it's own and each had to have similar colors so that they can all hang peacefully on the same wall together.To tie all of the paintings together, I kept the same sunlit hues of greens and yellows in the leaves. The actual leaves are all very different in nature as are the shapes of the flowers. All of the flowers have versions of the same pinks and reds and this worked as well in the birds of paradise piece as they can come in so many different colors.If my collector ever decides to re-arrange these paintings, hang them in different rooms or add a fourth piece, she can!To see more, please visit my websites:
