And here we are ladies, Mothers.
Mothers of one. Mothers of two..three…four, boys, girls…
Before we got pregnant, we had no idea what mother meant, what it takes of course, and what they are. Mothers are not like any other human being.
From the day we give birth and the following months, we have this need to share and express what we feel and what we go through. Like if we were the very first woman on this planet to experience motherhood. Reason why there are so many moms communities.
A “new us” emerged when giving birth to our babies.
This is what makes us so special, so unique.
This “new us” is the same version of ourself but stronger and reckless. Strength makes us do things we never thought capable of doing.
Becoming a Mother is a regeneration

Donkey Kong for the Nintendo Game boy, is a perfect blend of puzzle , action and
adventure. This game, which is based on the game of the same name for the Atari,
features the infamous Mario, as well as Donkey Kong, the Princess, and Donkey
Kong Jr. However, unlike in the Donkey Kong series for Super Nintendo or Game
Boy, Donkey Kong in this game is the villain. He has kidnapped the Princess and it
is up to you, as Mario, to save her.
Graphics 8 out of 10
As far as Game Boy is concerned, these graphics are fairly good. It's very easy to
see everything clearly, even when a lot of action is on the screen at the same time.
The only time I ever had trouble seeing was on some of the boards with darker
backgrounds. The graphics get the job done.
Music and Sound 8 out of 10
For a Game Boy game, the music and sound is good. Typical video game music
accompanies the action, as well as your typical bleeping sound affects. The Music
does add suspense to the more dangerous parts of the game. Very Good.
Game Challenge 10 out of 10
This game is surprisingly difficult. As stated before, the game has many puzzle
aspects involved in the game play. Mario must use his wits to figure out how to
get to certain places. Their is also time limits in other parts. Although the puzzles
get kind of frustrating, they add to the reply value and make the game a more
lasting experience. And it requires you TO THINK!!!
Game Play-Fun 9 out of 10
I enjoyed playing this game greatly. I think its one of the best games for Game Boy
of its time. The final sequence with Donkey Kong is awesome. This game reveals many
games for many more advanced systems. No matter how good the graphics of a game
are, the gameplay is what determines it a good game. That's what this is, pure and
simple fun. I highly recommend it. Its great for car trips.
Like stated before, the puzzle's get a bit frustrating, but nothing too bad. Its a
pretty non-frustrating game.
Replayability 7 out of 10
Because you can go through some boards more than one way, or pick different courses,
the reply value of this game is pretty high. Once you complete the whole game, you
might not want to start another game right away. But hang on to it, you'll be playing
Game Value 10 out of 10
If you could find this game used it would be great. The normal price is also well
worth its game play value. Hours of enjoyment.
Overall 9 out of 10
Overall, get this game. If Game Boy is still your main area of video game enjoyment,
and you haven't got it yet, what are you waiting for? Go out and save princess!

FBI Raid BACKFIRES – Look What Republicans Want Now!
(TheRedWire.com) – The FBI raided former President Donald Trump’s Florida home on August 8. They secured a search warrant allowing them to ransack the estate for classified documents and government property officials believed he wrongly possessed. A month removed from the Justice Department’s action, a new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist National poll asked Americans’ opinions regarding whether they wanted Trump to run for president in 2024. More than 60% of Republicans believe he should run for office even if the Department of Justice (DOJ) charges him with a crime.
The poll said 61% of Americans don’t want the former head of state to run again in 2024, comprised of 90% of Democrats, 26% of Republicans, and 67% of Independents surveyed. If the DOJ charges him with a crime, it climbs slightly to 65% overall, with 61% of surveyed Republicans supporting Trump regardless of a criminal probe.
SHOCK POLL: Almost Two Thirds of Republicans Want Trump To Run in 2024 – Even If He's 'Charged With a Crime' https://t.co/GLEVuSYwmr
— Mediaite (@Mediaite) September 8, 2022
When asked if the potential 2024 presidential candidate committed a crime, 44% of Americans believe he committed an illegal act by taking government documents after leaving office in January 2021. Still, 17% think he didn’t do anything illegal, although it was likely unethical. That’s not all… 29% of the public, including 63% of registered Republicans surveyed, don’t think Trump did anything wrong.
The survey results came before news that the former president might have kept top secret nuclear information about a foreign government and other data.
So, if the DOJ indicts Trump for a crime, would you feel comfortable with him serving as the Commander in Chief again?

Tulum, Mexico was originally a peaceful town buried among Mayan ruins in the jungle.
Tulum stands apart for a number of reasons, one of which being the prevailing tropical coolness that pervades the town and its inhabitants. It is distinguished for its vast beaches and crescent moon shape. Its structures are snuggled into the cliffside, providing visitors with vistas of the Caribbean Sea that seem limitless and otherworldly at times.
Tulum has evolved into a refuge for artists, culinary connoisseurs, and beach bums alike, in addition to a tourist destination.
Whether you want fresh seafood from basic beach-side shacks, the most genuine tacos in town, gluten-free burritos, or tasting menus for special occasions, Tulum and this list have you covered!
If you like to do anything other than eat amazing cuisine, Ive compiled a list of the finest things to do in Tulum (spoiler: more food!)

Tulum’s Top Restaurants

El Asadero is one of the many excellent restaurants in Tulum. The ambience, cuisine, service, and views will not disappoint. It’s ideal for couples seeking for a romantic getaway or a group of 10 wishing to spoil themselves.
El Asadero provides traditional Mexican food ranging from Puebla-style mole negro to more contemporary adaptations of classic Mexican meals such as smoked duck breast with tequila and pomegranate sauce. For those in a hurry, there is a small bar and take-out section near the front of the restaurant.
If you visit Tulum, you must eat fish. This is why El Asadero is so well-known among seafood and meat enthusiasts both. The steaks are really soft, well-cooked, and well seasoned. The menu also includes shrimp, octopus, and squid, but if you request it, the cooks would gladly prepare a lobster tail for you.
There is also a decent wine selection, and their margaritas are irresistible. All of this leads to El Asedero becoming one of Tulum’s greatest restaurants.
01 984 160 2989Avenida Tulum Pte Mz 3 Lote 5 Local 1
For many visitors, the most difficult problem is locating Tulum restaurants that provide healthy, tasty meals. Although there are several of these eateries in Tulum, Burrito Amor provides some of the better alternatives.
To guarantee a wonderful dinner, their fresh ingredients are cooked utilizing superfoods such as chia seeds and raw honey, as well as slow cooking methods.
Burrito Amor, although being in the center of pandemonium on Beach Caracol, is impossible to miss once you arrive.
Check out their morning burritos, which are tortillas filled with fluffy eggs and your choice of toppings such as Mayan spinach, smoked pig, and air-dried beef from Monterrey!
Homemade cinnamon granola with coconut milk, tapioca custard with toasted coconut, and avocado toast are some more morning alternatives. Whichever dish you’re craving, you’ll enjoy this fantastic Tulum restaurant.
Mercado del Mar
01 984 178 4510Jupiter Sur
Sabor del Mar is one of my favorite Tulum seafood restaurants. It’s not spectacular, but the seafood dishes are delicious, the cooking is quick, and the pricing are affordable. It’s a low-key establishment featuring menus in both English and Spanish.
You choose your meal from a picture menu on a clipboard; they put your order on the clipboard and provide you a receipt to present to the server.
The tuna tower, ceviches, tuna tostadas, and fish tacos are all must-order items.
Pro tip:Due to the popularity of the location, its not unusual to be requested to wait 30-45 minutes for a table for dinner. If you don’t like waiting, you may come for lunch; they open at noon. It is frequently less crowded than around noon. They also do not sell alcohol.
This is an unequaled combination of quality and variety for seafood in Tulum.
La Chiapaneca Antidote
+52 984 112 3249Acuario Nte. 3Calle Acuario
It’s simple to locate amazing street food in Tulum, but finding a terrific street food restaurant with an unrivaled array of Mexican foods is a different matter.
That is why I like Antojitos La Chiapaneca, which serves authentic Mexican street food produced by the owner and his family. Get the grilled pork on soft corn tortillas for delicious tacos for only 20 pesos each.
Their pork chop in salsa verde and pollo asado with rajas de poblano a la parrilla are also highly recommended.
Take a seat inside or at the bar and let the waiters serve you platters of anything you like. There are bowls where you may top your tacos with freshly cut limes, sliced onion, cilantro, and a variety of spicy sauces. A word of caution, however: check the heat of the sauce before pouring it over your dish; the habanero peppers are potent!
You’ll be seated among groups of locals and a few visitors, all of whom are enjoying the basic but tasty meal. This was certainly one of the greatest and most affordable meals I’ve ever eaten in a Tulum restaurant. I went back the following day because it was so wonderful!
Tulum, Quintana Roo
In the middle of Tulum’s main square and market, Humo is a beautiful rustic Mexican restaurant. It’s simple to locate, just across from Yoga Rao and Pangea, near to Aara Spa. The structure is bright green in color, and there is a huge wooden sign over the entrance that says Humo.
Humo restaurant is one of my favorite places to dine in Tulum. The meal is usually wonderful and fresh, and the pricing are really fair.
Humo serves enormous servings of Mexican and foreign food, attracting a large number of tourists who subsequently experience local specialties such as mole de olla, chilaquiles, barbacoa, or machaca with huevos al gusto, pozole Verde, and many more.
249 Calle Centauro Sur
There are several eateries in Tulum, but none compare to Kay Nah. This restaurant’s open-air setting appeals to me. The location is ideal, and the staff is quite kind.
It’s nice to know that there are vegetarian options available, as well as Mexican and seafood delicacies. I may have eaten a little too much, but every mouthful was worth it!
They offer a great range of seafood to pick from (fish, octopus, shrimp, oysters, and so on), as well as a variety of Mexican cuisine. Everything is really reasonably priced, which is fantastic since everything they provide is quite fresh.
Tulum Beach Road Restaurants
Tulum-Boca Paila Highway 7
Hartwood is a jungle-side open-air restaurant on Tulum’s beach road. It is recognized to be one of the greatest Tulum restaurants for excellent dining.
Hartwood’s menu varies everyday dependent on what is newly fished or harvested. All cooking is done over an open fire in a handcrafted wood-burning oven and grill, which imparts tremendous flavor to each meal.
Fresh fish, octopus, and shrimp are some of the meals you may expect to encounter, all perfectly cooked. If you aren’t in the mood for seafood, Hartwood also serves outstanding steaks and is well-known for its honey-roasted ribs.
Pro tip: This Tulum restaurant is only open for supper from Wednesday through Sunday, and you should make a reservation in advance. Bookings may be made up to one month ahead of time by contacting email@example.com. Hartwood accepts solely cash payments.
01 984 231 1077 Km.3 Tulum Ruinas a Boca Paila Carretera
Villa Pescadores is one of the top restaurants in Tulum. This beachfront restaurant boasts a spacious outdoor terrace and an inexpensive menu that includes excellent fish tacos and more, as well as fresh-brewed sangria and late-night nibbles.
This Tulum restaurant serves as both a bar and a restaurant, making it perfect for a night out on the town, and its laid-back ambiance will make you never want to leave.
Villa Pescadores unquestionably takes the title for the most creative presentation of their delectable ceviche.
The fish was fresh and served with fried Mexican chips in a contemporary restaurant that was often full but never seemed crowded.
My favorite meal was the ceviche marinated in lime juice and flavored with house-made espresso grounds for a great balance of sweet and salty tastes.
Even better, Villa Pescadores does not charge an exorbitant price to sit on their beachside restaurant seats or beds. You only need to place an order. This is unusual since most beachside restaurants or lounge chairs charge a minimum of 500 pesos per person to utilize their luxury property. Another incentive to visit this beachside restaurant in Tulum.
Table in the Kitchen
+52 98 41 88 4924 Carr. Tulum-Boca Paila kilometer 6-km 6
Kitchen Table Restaurant is one of my favorite restaurants. Kitchen is a restaurant in Tulum, Mexico that serves what many believe to be the ideal breakfast.
The Kitchen Table is an absolute must-see. A small, local restaurant providing authentic Yucatecan cuisine in an intimate setting with some of the greatest rum drinks around.
Their seafood tacos are delicious, as are their entire roasted lobster and short rib.
They also have an outstanding selection of vegetarian alternatives, which may be difficult to find in Mexican and seafood restaurants since many of them only provide meat platters.
Tulum is a taboo place.
+52 99 86 90 0259 Kilometer 7 Carretera Tulum-Boca Paila Zone Hotelera
I like Taboo Tulum Restaurant because they provide excellent fish and Mexican cuisine. Throughout the day, the restaurant provides a very calm ambiance, almost as if you were on holiday again.
Nevertheless, at night, this restaurant changes into a nightclub environment, with dynamic dancers and violinists performing and playing music all around you, certain to make your pulse race!
With the tropical hues and ocean noises in the backdrop, you forget you’re in Tulum, which is always a good thing. The attentive crew prepares delicious cuisine and beverages. It’s our favorite Tulum restaurant.
I like the freshly prepared fried fish tacos offered at lunch, as well as the grilled fish and shellfish and their roasted octopus or salmon for supper. I feel at ease visiting there since they always welcome you with a smile and courteous assistance is always accessible.
Tulum Beach QROO 15, +52 98 4 217 8728
Vagalume Tulum Restaurant serves delicious seafood and Mexican cuisine. This restaurant is moderately priced, and the ambience is welcoming.
Their wait staff is all extremely knowledgable about the food and takes our orders quickly.
I’ve been here many times and have always received precisely what I needed.
The best chips and salsa can be found at Vagalume Tulum Restaurant. I’ve tried a variety of their meals, but my favorite is their Vaca Frita Tacos with Cilantro Lime Rice and Pico de Gallo. I also enjoy that their menu has an excellent vegetarian variety.
I definitely suggest this restaurant to anybody looking to taste a Mexican seafood Yucatan platter.
The Mexican Adventure
01 984 211 4877 Manglex Hotel, Carretera Tulum-Boca Paila Mile 10
The Mexican Experience demonstrates Yucatan’s diverse cuisine in an interactive and entertaining manner. The cuisine is cooked fresh by a network of tiny family businesses and combined into one wonderful evening.
Director Andres Padilla and his wife, Xavier Badia, are the minds behind this unique interactive eating idea.
The supper is restricted to 21 persons and is set up with a large communal table.
The three-hour culinary journey begins with a tequila and mezcal sampling and a fun cocktail-making class. The seven-course meal begins after cocktails. The tasting menu highlights the region’s greatest foods, many of which you may have never eaten or even knew existed.
What is my favorite dish? The cacao mousse with mezcal-infused caramel, hands down. You’ll be asking for more of that melt-in-your-mouth bliss! Be sure to enjoy a Mexican Experience in Tulum for a one-of-a-kind eating experience.
Tulum Archeological Zone
+52 98 41 77 2231 Boca Paila Avenue, Tulum Beach
Arca Tulum Restaurant is a restaurant in Tulum, Mexico that provides a variety of meals such as Grilled Octopus in Recado Negro Terrine, Grilled Deer Ribs, Fresh Chayote Salad, and many more. The restaurant features a beautiful view, delicious cuisine, and the greatest egg rolls in town.
I advise getting the white fish fillet, it is incredibly excellent. It seems to have bacon within, which for some reason does not translate into flavor, but this fish fillet has a great crunch to the skin as well as the exterior.
I highly suggest eating the Seafood Paella, it is absolutely excellent and features a variety of seafood. This meal is distinguished by the crispiness of its seafood.
Tulum Chamicos –
Caleta Tanka, Bahia Soliman Bay, 984-115-0260
During my most recent trip to Tulum, I stayed on the beach and dined at a variety of local Tulum eateries. I was in desperate need of some inexpensive and joyful genuine meals (preferably on the beach). I thought it was impossible until I discovered Chamicos Tulum.
Chamicos, located approximately fifteen minutes north of Tulum town on an isolated cove, is undoubtedly Tulum’s best-kept secret and not the kind of spot that travelers often stumble into.
They provide delicious fresh seafood, ceviche, salads, and quesadillas, as well as the greatest margaritas I’ve ever eaten.
Spending the day here, full of Mexican people and consisting of plastic tables, chairs, and hammocks along a soft sandy sheltered beach, was the highlight of our trip in Tulum. Try this Tulum eatery for a taste of traditional Mexican cuisine.
Pro tip: Chamicos has a second restaurant in town that serves the same delicious cuisine but loses the view and beachfront setting. I suggest going to the beachside spot!
Sliding and slipping
+52 98 41 19 7014 Kilometer 2.5 Tulum-Boca Paila Carr.
A modest but magnificent restaurant managed by Canadian artist Kyle and Mexican chef Ramn sits several kilometers down the road from Tulum: more specifically, 5.5 kilometers south of the town center.
Liquido y Solido Restaurant is a nice restaurant located in the center of a little garden and adorned in brown and orange hues. The clay bowls, wooden seat, and colorful plates make you feel as though you’ve just returned from ancient Tulum, where this restaurant is situated.
The meal is not only good but also visually appealing, presented on wooden platters or terracotta bowls in charming arrangements. There are vegan and vegetarian alternatives available. There are also a variety of delectable juices and frappes on the menu.
While visiting Tulum, Mexico, you can discover a wide variety of delectable cuisine alternatives. There are traditional Mexican cuisine as well as gourmet ones. There will also be a range of tastes, including sweet, savory, and spicy.
So, which of these Tulum restaurants will you visit?

E-One Inc. is recalling 112 2013-2014 model-year Emergency One Typhoon, Cyclone II and Quest firefighting chassis because of the potential for electrical system problems, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports.
The chassis were all manufactured from March 19, 2013, through April 15, 2014, and are equipped with vehicle input module (VIM) part number 508875. The VIM supplies programming inputs that monitor and control such vehicle functions as lights, warning indicators and some interlock functions of the vehicle electrical system.
In the recalled vehicles, a defect in the VIM software might affect the operation of the brake lights and other electrical operations. The truck’s brake lights might illuminate even when the vehicle is not braking, for example. Additionally, the software may prevent the vehicle from raising its idle when auxiliary equipment is being used, NHTSA said.
If the brake lights illuminate while the vehicle is moving, other motorists could mistakenly believe the vehicle is stopping or slowing down. Also, if the vehicle cannot raise its idle when auxiliary equipment is being used, equipment such as aerial devices, electrical generators and rescue tools may not perform properly.
To remedy the problem, E-One dealers will update the VIM software. There will be no charge for this service. The recall begins this month.
Owners of the vehicles can reach E-One customer service at 1-800-627-5050. The company is based in Ocala, Fla.


Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf.H Mid-production
ThePanzerkampfwagenIV (Pz.Kpfw. IV) Sd Kfz 161, commonly known as the Panzer IV, was amedium tankdeveloped in Germanyin the late 1930s and used extensively during theSecond World War. Its ordnance inventory designation wasSd.Kfz.161.
Designed as an infantry-support tank, the Panzer IV was not originally intended to engage enemyarmour—that function was performed by the lighterPanzer III. However, with the flaws of pre-war doctrine becomingapparent,and in the face of SovietT-34 tanks, the Panzer IV soon assumed the tank-fighting role of its increasingly obsolete cousin. The most widely manufactured and deployed German tank of the Second World War, the Panzer IV was used as the base for many other fighting vehicles, including theSturmgeschütz IVtank destroyer, theWirbelwindself-propelled anti-aircraft weapon, and theBrummbärself-propelled gun, amongst others.

It is that time of year again, full of judgmental red carpets, false modesty, cheesy one-liners, and an unbearably long awards show.
This past weekend, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association presented the 2011 Golden Globe Awards with returning host Ricky Gervais. For those who have no idea who this is, Gervais is the original Michael Scott from the UK version of The Office, a fact that he makes sure everyone knows - all the time. As usual, Gervais was borderline overly offensive in his attempt to lighten the mood in the stuffy atmosphere of the Globes.
All in all, the show was uneventful, proving it to be one of my least favourite awards ceremonies because of the complete lack of musical performance or any other form of entertainment. The most enjoyable presenters were Tina Fey and Steve Carell, who together create a respectable comedic energy without being forced or offensive – and they were actually funny.
This year, The Social Network raked in the highest number of accolades, winning four Globes for Best Original Score, Best Screenplay, Best Director, and the biggest award of the night, Best Motion Picture Drama. Other films that got a lot of attention last night were The Fighter and The Kids Are Alright, which each took home two statues, including Christian Bale for Best Supporting Actor in The Fighter. Surprisingly, The King’s Speech, which lead the nominations with a total of seven, was only awarded Best Actor Drama for Colin Firth’s performance. Best Actress Drama went to Natalie Portman for her role in the psychological thriller Black Swan.
As expected, though somewhat undeserving in comparison to its competition, Glee swept the night for television awards. Chris Colfer (Kurt) and Jane Lynch (Sue Sylvester) both won – and rightly so- for their supporting roles on the series. However the Globe for Best TV Series Comedy or Musical that was awarded to Glee could have easily gone to Modern Family or The Big Bang Theory this year. The HFPA at least got this one right: Best Actor TV Comedy or Musical went to the incomparably hilarious Jim Parsons, who plays Sheldon on The Big Bang Theory.
Even little Beibs got his 30 seconds in the spotlight as he presented the award for Best Animated Feature Film to Toy Story 3. Another teen sensation, Robert Pattinson, was also present, but luckily his stupid face was overpowered beside his co-presenter Olivia Wilde’s stunningly sparkly ball gown.
The best part of the night was when Matt Damon presented Robert De Niro with the Cecil B. DeMille lifetime achievement award. A montage of his over 40 years in show business was shown, including clips from his many hits such as The Godfather II, Taxi Driver, and Goodfellas.
Gervais, clearly intoxicated at this point, wrapped up the show with a typical so-long, farewell, and “thank you to God for making me an atheist.”

I’ve been a lost lamb, just caring for me. I thought I had no one caring for me.
I was so lonely, tired and worn, but I looked around and this thought was born.
He is here watching, watching over me. Look little lamb, look around and see.
Look little lamb, He said , I am watching over thee. Drink from the water so pure and so clean.
Taste of the water, and then you will see. Open your eyes now, you are all clean.
See little lamb, you are white and all new. See little lamb, I will watch over you.
How kind dear sir, to watch over me. I am all white and clean and all new. You are so kind sir, to help me dear sir.
Thank you for watching, watching over me. I feel protected, safe, and free.
For the Lord He is watching, He is watching over me. I stayed near his feet, I was helpless and small, but he watched over me, that I should not fall.
Come little lamb, follow me to the water. You can drink from it there. I will help you not falter.
He knew that my knees were all tired and sore, from falling and falling, again on the floor.
Come little lamb, you can try it again. I know that you’re weak, but I’ll help you to stand.
You speak so kindly, I said to the man. You speak so kindly, You’ll help me to stand.
I took a little drink, where he showed me the water, and I started to cry, my tears rolled down in the water.
Why are you crying, He said to me then? I have been crying, again, and again.
Oh Master can you help me? I have lost a hold, of my children over yonder, who are a part of my fold.
Can you call them dear Master. To see if they’ll come To your water dear Master, Please see if they’ll come.
You hold me in safety, with comfort and care. You speak to me gently, I have nothing to fear.
You are so kind dear Master. I am happy with thee. Even though I falter, You are still with me.
I am a little lamb, all torn and weak, But I will be happy to sit at your feet.

Jesus Christ and your holy angels:
Please pray for my family who are trying to walk in the right path and protecting innocent people. The people who are constantly attacking are the ones who support malice, evil doings,selling and buying drugs, including corruption. Please remove this from my community and purify their hearts and make them see of what of the good work he has been doing for the other generation coming including their relatives. In name of Jesus Christ Amen

On Thursday, May 31, 2012, Polk County Sheriff’s School Resource deputies, along with the assistance of a PCSO Explorer (Explorers are high school student volunteers), conducted “Operation Pop Top” in an effort to combat the illegal sale of alcohol and tobacco to minors. The operation was conducted in the Winter Haven area.
Ten stores were checked, and all of them were found in compliance with Florida State Statutes.
The clerks at the following stores refused to sell alcohol to the minor:
CVS – 3005 State Road 540 W, Winter Haven
MVP Food Mart– 3006 State Road 540 West, Winter Haven
JK Food Citgo – 3355 Spirit Lake Rd, Winter Haven
Circle K – 4980 Spirit Lake Rd, Winter Haven
Publix Pix – 1108 Spirit Lake Rd, Winter Haven
7-Eleven – 4000 Recker Hwy, Winter Haven
Sunoco – 3317 Ave G NW, Winter Haven
Sunoco – 2727 K-Ville Ave, Winter Haven
Citgo – 2102 Thornhill Rd, Winter Haven
Sunrise Supermarket – 3035 Thornhill Rd, Winter Haven
"I'd like to commend the clerks at the above-listed stores for joining us in our efforts to combat the sale of alcohol and tobacco to minors. It doesn't take but a second to ask for ID, and then verify that the buyer is of legal age to purchase these items. Those we have arrested in the past for selling to minors, I'm sure regret the fact that they didn't take the time to double-check. We will continue to monitor all of the stores in Polk County until we have 100% compliance." - Sheriff Grady Judd

Perry hits Mitt on pink slips comment
Via POLITICO's Jake Sherman, Rick Perry became the first candidate to hit Mitt Romney over his pink slips/feel-your-pain comment from Sunday:
Rick Perry tore into front-runner Mitt Romney here, saying his Bain Capital looted nearby businesses and destroyed jobs.
In his most pointed attack so far here on this Palmetto State swing, the Texas governor said that when Romney said he was worried about pink slips, he was "worried he would run out."
"I had to shake my head yesterday when one of the wealthiest men, I suppose, that's ever run for the presidency of the United States — the son of a multimillionaire — Mitt Romney, he said 'I know what its like to worry about whether you're going to get fired," Perry said at a restaurant here. "'There were a couple of times when I wondered whether I was going to get a pink slip.' He actually said this. Now, I have no doubt that Mitt Romney was worried about pink slips, whether he was going to have enough of them to hand out. Because his company Bain Capital, with all the jobs that they killed. I'm sure he was worried he'd run out of pink slips."
Perry localized it, talking about a nearby business in Gaffney that was "looted" by "Mitt Romney's private equity firm" by $20 million in management fees. And a steel company in Georgetown, S.C., that also got hit with millions in management fees.
"There is something inherently wrong when getting rich off failure and sticking it to someone else is how you do your business," Perry said.
It's the "ultimate insult," Perry said, for the front-running Romney to come to South Carolina "and tell you he feels the pain, because he caused it."

14 different universities started competing in a national geothermal energy competition. Now there are 8 universities left and three of them are from right here in Idaho.
This year the university students are focusing in on the Snake River Plain in Idaho.
Students from universities all across the nation are looking at the Snake River Plain as a potential source for geothermal energy.
“We think the Snake River Plain might have a lot of what are called blind geothermal systems, so at a depth it’s very warm, but there’s not much manifestation on the surface, no hot springs or anything like that" said ISU grad student Rebecca Ohly.
“Trying to discover that, trying to figure out that mystery and see what’s down below and really try to figure out what’s there, that search is the most interesting part for me" said ISU grad student Michael Ginsbach.
This competition challenges students to conduct research in geology, geoscience, and chemical energy.
The goal is to find breakthroughs in geothermal energy development.
“I think the folks here in Idaho should be aware of what’s here and how the dept. of energy have had an interest in looking at a green economy right here in Idaho, or how the Snake River Plain can be looked at in a very safe way, the environmental footprint of geothermal is very very small, that’s one of the advantages of it, so there should be a lot of excitement around here, a lot of support for the local students as well who are engaged in this work" said Senior Project Manager of Oakridge Associated Universities, Desmond Stubbs.
Students and researchers who are working on this project say an advantage of having geothermal energy is the price reduction of electricity in the area and possibly even a power generating station that could boost the economy and sell it to outlying areas.

The food you eat before a triathlon has a big impact on your performance. Ideally, your body should have between 90 minutes and two hours’ worth of stored energy before you start any race. This energy is stored in the body in the form of glycogen and it is what powers your muscles during the race.
Importance of race day nutrition
Your liver glycogen stores and blood glucose concentration has to be high on the race day. This has the effect of lowering cortisol levels in your body to increase insulin production. Insulin delivers a steady supply of carbohydrates to the muscles to help maintain your endurance. Some of the negative effects of poor pre-race nutrition include:
* Low blood sugar – hypoglycemia.
* Over hydration resulting in an electrolyte imbalance – hypernatremia.
* Stomach bloating from consuming too many high-fiber foods.
* Early depletion of fuel reserves leaving you feeling weak, dizzy and light-headed.
Remember that you may need well over 5,000 calories per day if you have been training heavily.
Foods to eat before a triathlon
Carbohydrates are the main source of glucose. This is the primary nutrient that fuels your cells and muscles. It is recommended that you eat a high carb diet for two to three days before an intense event like a triathlon since your body would need the stored carbs both during exercise and the race itself. Endurance cycling, swimming and running are activities that demand that you eat a diet consisting of 70% carbs. For best results, consume whole food sources such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains. This is because they are also rich in other nutrients that promote stable blood sugar and high energy levels. These nutrients are vitamins, mineral and fiber. For instance, have a breakfast of oatmeal made in low-fat milk, fruits and a slice of whole grain toast on the last few days before the triathlon.
This is the second most important of fuel. To ensure that you have enough stored fat, ensure that healthy fats make up 15% of your diet. Some of the sources of healthy fats include olive oil, oily fish, avocados, nuts and seeds.
While seldom provide any fuel needed for athletic performance, your protein needs are slightly higher than a non-athlete’s. The American academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recommends consuming about 0.8 grams of protein per pound of body weight. Exceeding this limit can deprive your body of more ready fuel while increasing your oxygen and fluid needs. Try to incorporate protein from natural sources such as beans, fish, and quinoa into your snacks and meals I the days leading to the big race.
The pre-race meal
Since triathlons usually start during the early morning hours, it is likely that your body won’t have the time to digest a heavy meal beforehand. For the best performance, consume a snack consisting of 50 grams of carbs (500 calories) within 2 hours before the race. Examples of what you should eat before triathlon include a plain bagel, an English muffin with 5 ounces of apple juice or a 1/2 a cup of cooked oatmeal and a banana. In the event that you are strapped for time, a smoothie is the most convenient option. For optimal hydration, drink 2 cups of water an hour before the race in addition to the 3 cups you should drink with the pre-event meal.

Ahn Trio embraces power of lullabies
Lullabies are best known for putting children to sleep. But for the Ahn Trio, such songs hold a different appeal.
“We’ve always wanted to do an album of very beautiful music,” violinist Angella Ahn said. “If you think about what lullabies are and how mothers sing them to their babies, it’s this idea of a very simple tune that has so much power.”
On their latest album, “Lullaby for My Favorite Insomniac,” Ahn and her twin sisters — pianist Lucia and cellist Maria — explore an eclectic program ranging from the Rodgers and Hart standard “My Funny Valentine” to the Pat Metheny-David Bowie tune “This Is Not America.”
“Insomniac” is the siblings’ debut on Sony BMG Masterworks and was recorded after they left their longtime label, EMI Classics.
“It was a special album in the sense that we chose all the tracks and we co-produced it,” Angella Ahn said.
A search for a new label ensued. The trio decided Sony “had a really similar philosophy to us — and that we should create something that everyone can enjoy.”
“Dies Irie” and “Magic Hour” are by Kenji Bunch, a fellow Juilliard School graduate and one of the sisters’ favorite composers. Bunch also contributed the arrangement of “Valentine.”
As a composer, Bunch has a way of being inclusive, collecting ideas from different kinds of music and making them relevant to the classical world, Ahn said.
Considering the trio’s musical openness, it’s not surprising that “Insomniac” makes room for a classic folk song, “Solitary Singer,” which Ahn heard on a Laurie Lewis album.
The disc concludes with remixes of four tunes, including a version of “Valentine” that wouldn’t be out of place in a hip-hop club.
“We really did a lot of exploring and went to places we hadn’t gone before,” Ahn said.

This November did not go as planned in my effort to complete the daunting 50,000 words for NaNoWriMo. I had every intention to write the needed 1667 words everyday, but things do not always go according to plans. I had just got into Bullet Journaling and was trying to be more productive, but this inadvertently made me less productive, at least in the writing department. I made a list of goals I wanted to accomplish in November, one of them being writing my novel, reading at least one book, studying Korean, writing in my journal, and keeping my apartment clean. Sadly, writing took a bit of a back seat in my list of things to accomplish.
I’m not going to let it get me down, though.
I was still able to write a little over half of the required words and got some great scenes put down on paper. Like most writers know, it’s important to get it written down before it blows away like a leaf in the wind. I’m still writing as well, trying to keep some of last months motivation up. It helps to join a group of writers that meets every Saturday at a local cafe. They give me a nice relaxing environment to write in and also provide the occasional light bulb moment for a specific scene or just my story in general.
I’m excited to see where this story goes.

The Snow Kimono by Mark Henshaw
Some pieces are small, others large, but all are calculated to deceive, to lead one astray, in order to make the solution of the puzzle as difficult, as challenging, as possible. In our tradition, how a puzzle is made, and how it is solved, reveals some greater truth about the world.
This quote comes from an episode in Mark Henshaw’s The Snow Kimono in which a professor of law tells a story about his father’s fascination with traditional Japanese jigsaw puzzles. It could equally describe the way Mark Henshaw’s narrative is constructed. Each chapter builds on the preceding one, enabling the story to unfold one layer at a time and bring with it ever-deepening insights and fresh revelations.
The novel opens in Paris in 1989. Retired police inspector Auguste Jovert receives a letter from a woman in Algiers, where he once served as an intelligence officer. She claims to be his daughter. Back home in his apartment he finds a stranger waiting for him – Tadashi Omura, a former professor of law of the Imperial University of Japan who bears a strong resemblance to the Emperor Hirohito. Omura begins to relate the story of his own lost daughter Fumiko and his friend, the arrogant and brilliant novelist Katsuo Ikeda. As the story of a fractured friendship, lost lovers and orphaned children unfolds, Jovert cannot help reflect on the parallels with his own life which, like Ikeda’s, is built on a lie.
Each strand of the narrative pivots between various characters and locations, in France, Japan and Algeria. It’s written in a slightly off-beat enigmatic style which keeps readers uncertain how everything fits together and how it will all end. Many of the tales use beautiful evocative imagery.
Behind me, the mountain peaks blaze like white teeth in the first rays of the sun. Darkness seeps back into the earth. The grey-tiled rooftops of the village, clustered together like sleeping cattle, begin to surface.
or in another scene:
Banks of cloud the colour of egg white hung low and flat on the horizon.
The Snow Kimono is a meditation on love, loss and betrayal but one whose meaning becomes evident only in stages. Omura counsels Jovert early on in their relationship that if he wants to understand, then he needs to change his perspective. “In Japan we have a saying. If you want to see your life, you have to see it through the eyes of another. But what if what you see is not what you want to know.” Jovert, reminiscing about his career comes to appreciate that the techniques he used in his career would not be sufficient to reveal the truth about life “… life, unlike crime, was not something you could solve. What people told you was not always the truth; the truth was what you found out, eventually, by putting all the pieces together.”
The non-linear structure and the enigmatic nature of the plot alone would make The Snow Kimono a fascinating novel but add the haunting, fluid, lyrical style and the result is the most remarkable novel I’ve read all year. From the first page I was enthralled. By the time I got to the last page I wanted to start all over again to try, like Jovert, to put all those pieces together.
Mark Henshaw was born in Canberra, Australia. He published his first novel, Out of the Line of Fire, 26 years ago to huge critical acclaim. Since then he’s published detective novels under the pen-name of J.M.Calder but under his own name, nothing. Why the long silence? An interview in Sydney Morning Herald may provide the answer.
The Snow Kimono is published by Text Publishing. They took on the publication after 32 other publishers turned it down. The Snow Kimono went on to win the New South Wales Premier’s Literary Award in 2015.

Brief comment re JM Calder first – it’s a collaborative name for him and John Clanchy.
I’ve finished the book now and written my review, though I’ve part drafted a follow up post because there are so many angles from which to view this book. I could write a really long single review but besides that turning blog readers off I think, it’s also hard to keep the post focused if it goes off on too many tangents.
I loved the language – your quotes give a great sense of the beauty of his descriptions. I loved the tone – I really like books with that melancholic, foreshadowing sort of tone. I’m not sure why but I do. And I love its discussion of memory and how un-fixed it is.
(And would you believe, I saw the author at an exhibition opening this evening. I was so tempted to go up to him and say something, but the opportunity didn’t arise. I’m only semi-brave in situations like that! I have spoken to authors before but not when surrounded by other people in tight spaces!)
I didn’t know about the collaboration so thanks for that info. Did you kick yourself afterwards for not having gone and spoken to him? I know I would have struggled to find anything to say that he hadn’t heard probably a zillion times before but then of course after the moment had passed I would have conjured up all sorts of erudite comments …
Yes, that’s the issue, thinking of something to say that wasn’t just fawning. But one comment I had thought of making was how different readers fosuc on quite different aspects of the book. I think that would have been not particularly erudite but not boring either. I kicked myself a little … I was still considering going. Up to home when I noticed he’d gone!
That would have been a good question. I think I would like to know how he managed to make the narrative so authentically Japanese when he’d never lived there
Yes … He was curator of Prints and Drawings at the NGA here, which includes a lot of Japanese prints. He must have imbued through this and elsewhere a real Japanese aesthetic. I find it fascinating that he decided to do this without going there, though I’m not one who believes authors mystery have been to places they write about.
ooh, this sounds really good! I believe it must go on my TBR list!
I think you would appreciate the subtle way he writes Stephanie.
I haven’t read this review Karen as I’m in the final throes of reading the book right now. My reading group is to discuss this on Tuesday. I went to the launch last year and have a signed copy. I’ll come back and read the review in the next couple of days when I’ve finished he book and drafted my own review.
now I’m going to be on tenterhooks waiting to see what you think of it
Haha, Karen, hopefully I’ll do my post on Wednesday. Can you hold out??
I put this book down during our recent move and haven’t got back into it since. I should see if I can find where I put it! Thanks for the reminder – I was enjoying it 🙂
go and dust it down fast …..
Lovely review! I have this somewhere in my TBR pile and must dig it out.
I’m surprised this book hasn’t had more attention

Can botulinum toxin A (more commonly known as Botox®) be used to help TMJ disorders?
The FDA has approved the use of botulinum toxin A for cosmetic purposes, to smooth lines and wrinkles. It has also been approved to treat certain medical conditions, including migraine headache, but it has yet to be approved for the treatment of TMJ disorders. However, it has been found to be effective in calming the muscles that sometimes become overactive with teeth grinding and clenching which can help with pain and headaches related to TMJ dysfunction.
How does it work?
Botulinum toxin A is injected into the muscle with a very fine gauge needle. It doesn’t actually affect the muscle but rather blocks transmitters to the nerves relaxing the muscles. There is no loss of sensory feeling.
What are the limitations of Botox® for TMJ?
TMJ disorder is complex. Though relaxing the muscles with Botox® is one element to providing relief, it is not a cure. Understanding the underlying cause can help our doctors recommend treatment for lasting results. Treatment may include physical therapy, bite splints, home remedies and possibly bite correction with orthodontic treatment.
How long does treatment last?
It may take up to a few days to notice the effect of Botox® then it should last 3 to 4 months. You may notice with each treatment that the effects last longer.
How much does it cost?
It depends on how much you need, we charge by the unit. Our doctors will need to perform an examination and diagnose the problem first. Call to schedule, we don’t charge for the initial evaluation. If it’s determined that Botox® can help, we can go over exact cost and treatment can be performed at this appointment.
Does insurance cover it?
Currently, insurance does not cover Botox® for the treatment of TMJ disorder.
Is Botox® Better than pain medicine such as muscle relaxers to treat TMJ dysfunction?
For pain and muscle tension related to TMJ dysfunction, it can be. What’s good about Botox® is that it targets only those muscles that need relaxing instead of treating the whole body like an oral medication would.

I cannot recommend this experience enough; it allows you to see your self, as others do, not how you think you look. But it’s not just about how you look, it is about how you feel, it’s about celebrating a point in your life, it’s about capturing the moment, because all we have is now."Read More
"Red shoe make overs are less about having nice photos of yourself to look at and more about rebuilding confidence and strength.
I use this photo every day to remind me that I am fierce, I am strong, and even though I have not yet reached my goal weight....I am still beautiful.
Somewhere along life's painful journey in the past 2 years I lost myself. I lost my strength, my hope, my confidence and determination, and even the will to live. I had my makeover at the time my 10 year marriage was ending in hopes of feeling better about how I look.
What I did not know at the time was that life was about to get even more painful than I ever expected it could be. There are days I can not bear the thought of getting out of bed to take care of my 4 children when I just want to sit and cry all day.
Then I look at the expression on my face that Sarah somehow managed to catch on camera that reminds me I am better than that. I am stronger than the temporary pain I am going through. I deserve better than the broken relationships and lost friendships. I am a kind and loving person. I am a great mother and a damn good friend anyone would be lucky to have.
I will never trust or love another man as long as I live and I am ok with that. My children need me and I will fight to find my way back to the person I see in this beautiful photograph. I gave of myself more than I could afford to give to people that did not appreciate or deserve it and now it's time to give back to myself. This makeover was the 1st step in doing that. Thank you Nicole and Sarah for reminding me that I am beautiful, inside and out and that I deserve peace and happiness in my life.
All my love and gratitude,
Something magical happened....three artists collaborated to create this Boho bride inspired photo shoot

Dear Sarah and Mandy
So firstly I need to give you big thank you kisses!!
I had THE BEST time on the Friday, I was on cloud 9 for a good two weeks after! I have repeated this phrase to all of my friends “I have never felt this attractive or sexy in my whole life”. I had so much fun, loved having my make up done I wish I could have Mandy in my pocket at all times! I didn’t care what I was wearing as Mandy was creating my hair in amazing curls, I think I was in love with my o...wn hair!Read More

"What can I say about my Red Shoe experience, apart from it was fucking amazing!!??
Red Shoe came to my attention last year when a couple of my photographer friends showed me the photos they'd had taken by Sarah and I thought they were bloody gorgeous! I really wanted to have a shoot but kept putting it off as I was busy with work and I wanted to lose some weight and blah blah blah!
But, after a roller-coaster of a year and with my 40th approaching I decided to do it as an early birthday present to myself, to mark this milestone and to celebrate everything I've achieved so far in my life.
I can't tell you how excited I was for the shoot!
Mandy made me feel totally at ease straight away as she started to work her make-up magic on me, she made me look amazing!
And then Sarah, well Sarah made me feel like I was the most beautiful woman that ever walked the earth!
I'm not used to having my photo taken, it's usually me doing the shooting but honestly, I did not want it to end! Afterwards I literally skipped out of the studio and sang in the car all the way home, I felt like I was on cloud 9!
Mandy, Sarah, I can't thank you enough for how you made me feel that day and every day since! I'm now going to hit 40 feeling fabulous"Read More
"My Red Shoe experience was also about practising what I preach. My passion is to empower others to believe in themselves. I am a relationship counsellor, confidence coach, speaker and author. I have worked for more than 10 years with people of all ages and from all walks of life who are struggling with life’s circumstances, perhaps relationship breakdown, stress or anxiety"Read More

What started as spreading the love for photographing woman, has now turned into a pure love in talking to other photographers about THEIR voice...about how nobody else can photograph in the way that they do..
That each photographer is unique
That you should find what makes you jump out of bed each morning...even if it is to photograph a bowl of fruit....if it puts fire into your belly then photograph it..
That each photographer has a voice....and we talk about that....we go into that after the workshop. We talk about it in our little Facebook group...that I send emails every week afterwards encouraging them to find their voice
And that moment they find their voice is beautiful to see.Read More

Maybe we should go back a few steps and ask
what is boudoir photography?
When I think of boudoir, I think of boobs and bum shots, stockings and suspenders.
I will hold my hands up and say that when I started playing with the idea of red shoe I did try these kind of shots….but they never sat well with me..
They didn’t feel right
I wanted to photograph woman, but there was not anything out there that inspired me…
Why does a woman have to wear really uncomfortable underwear and put her legs in the air to be called sexy? Is that what sexy is…?
I didn’t think so!
I think every woman is beautiful….just as she is. I think being sexy/beautiful is you just being you…just as you are right now.
Every single woman I have met will hate something about herself
Shows too much gum when she smiles
If I had a penny for every time I was told “oooo I would love to do a red shoe….but I am just not brave enough” I would be off the coast of Barbados sipping cocktails…
Because the mass idea on the market is that women should dress up and squeeze into stockings to feel stupid in the process and dare for a second that they could be beautiful? This will then make them sexy
Not going to happen..
Not on my watch….
This is not boudoir
This is about you embracing yourself for all your unique quirks
This is about you being comfortable and happy in your own skin
This is about you just as you are
This is you finally sticking the middle finger to that voice in your head that tells you every
That you need to lose weight to be happy
That your stomach needs to be flatter
Your hair needs to be fuller
That you need to be kinder and more loving to everyone else
And do not complain about yourself
Nope….no one wants to hear how you are struggling
Just smile and make it easier for everyone else.
And all the while forgetting…
You are woman
You are more powerful and fearless then you will ever know
This is not boudoir….
I would never put you into that horrible box and tell you
“There you are….you did a boudoir shoot….now you are sexy…tra-dah”
No I am not going to do that to you…
I want to photograph you because I believe with all my heart…
That if you give a girl the right shoes she can conquer the world

If minor celebrities and athletes can write their autobiographies whilst still in their 20s, then I feel justified in dispensing some wisdom. Here it is:
If you want to go far in life, don’t whinge.
Not whinging is your fastest and most direct route to success, in any area. People don’t like whingers. Note that I’m not saying don’t say anything negative, just be aware of the difference between that and whinging.
Whinging is when an individual says something negative without any interest or commitment to making what it is they’re whinging about better. Their utterances are worse than useless as they actually make everyone else around them feel worse. That’s why people avoid whingers.
But not whinging isn’t just about winning friends and influencing people, it’s about personal happiness. Not whinging makes you feel better about yourself. And if you make a commitment to make changes rather than moaning about them, then your confidence will increase. You are likely to also gain new skills and your personal productivity is likely to skyrocket. 😀
I’m reminded of a quotation from Michael Caine I read recently on Scott Berkun’s blog about how he learned to use difficult situations to his advantage:
I was rehearsing a play, and there was a scene that went on before me, then I had to come in the door. They rehearsed the scene, and one of the actors had thrown a chair at the other one. It landed right in front of the door where I came in. I opened the door and then rather lamely, I said to the producer who was sitting out in the stalls, “Well, look, I can’t get in. There’s a chair in my way.” He said, “Well, use the difficulty.” So I said “What do you mean, use the difficulty?” He said “Well, if it’s a drama, pick it up and smash it. If it’s a comedy, fall over it.” This was a line for me for life: Always use the difficulty.
So be like Michael Caine. If you see a difficulty, don’t whinge; do something about it! 🙂
