She was looking forward to me in the kitchen. She was not smiling. Hec, you can't let those girls do that, she said. But, Mother, they certainly were just dancing. These were not merely dancing, Hector. These were also blinking you boys. I do not need that occurring within my house. But, Mom. My mom disrupted me. Number, but moms, she claimed in a tone indicating she was near to being angry. I won't contain it, son! Conceding defeat, I answered, Sure, Mom. I believe you ought to deliver your friends home now. Mother made and went out, leaving me without probable result except to stare at her wriggling ass. As previously mentioned, I am a tits and bum man.
Obtaining myself standing alone at poolside, I decided to clean the pool. I truly just had two jobs round the house. Hold my room clear and keep carefully the share clear in between the weekly trips from the share guy. Very little time transferred before Mother delivered to poolside. To Live Free Xxx Cam my shock, along with her book and pipe of sun screen, Mother was also carrying a glass of wine. She actually was not much of a enthusiast, an a reaction to my father's overindulgence, I suppose. And, our wine cups were huge. Father sized, I guess. From particular experience, I knew you can fill plenty of wine into one glass. Enough to make me tipsy anyway. Accepting Mom might be upset with me, I applied myself to cleaning the share very energetically. Obviously, I stole glances at my mom putting on the chaise whenever I could. I also moved round the pool to find a very good views of Mom's breasts. Regrettably, being dedicated to Mom's boobs, I tripped within the hose of the share vacuum. Needless to say, I dropped to the water.
That is one warm momma! he explained pointing her out. That Teen defines MILF, claimed another. Sacred fuck, men, that's my mother! Everybody else looked at one another in varying degrees of distress before scuttling Xxx Sex Chat Live away. Strolling as if she were on a model's runway, Mummy came up to me. My eyes exposed by the inventors, I had to agree using their depiction of her as a MILF. From that evening onward, I wanted out opportunities to see my MILF. It did not subject if she were in bathing suits or dresses and gowns, I looked at her as a lady and perhaps not a mother in the absolute most surreptitious manner I could. When she was out and I was home alone, I'd also discover my nose in her underwear drawer. Literally. The perfume she used adhered to her clean laundry. Her normal fragrance, or musk, honored her applied lingerie in the outfits hamper. My last summertime house before school appeared to find me in a perpetual state of orange balls. It was the latest summer in recorded history of our region indicating much time was used in the pool. A chance, no doubt, but with my buddies and their girlfriends visiting daily, the girls
look to find themselves in a consistent opposition to see who had the skimpiest bathing suit, the sexiest human anatomy for the reason that bikini, and the absolute most unreasonable behaviour within their bikinis. Mum arrived to see what the commotion was exactly about on certainly one of our earliest times, to get the girls performing hot dances and blinking people from their period on the fishing board.
My mom had equally and my ecent discovery of Mom as an attractive person intended I respected her in a bikini. Just like she was planning to keep the room, she turned suddenly, capturing me dmiring her ass. Deliver them house now, Hector, she demanded. Lifting my eyes to meet her look, I found a twinkle in her vision and a laugh, nearly, on her face. Yes, Mom, right now. My buddies were demonstrably disappointed to learn that our afternoon enjoyment have been called to a close. These were all mumbling unkind points because they collected up their things and departed. I was angry with my mother that she'd embarrassed me by sending my buddies away. I was also uncomfortable that she had found people within our mild sexual flirting. And, I was more uncomfortable that she had found me staring at her organization and taut ass.
Her gaze appeared to be below my eyes. Was she checking me out? Thinking if which was even possible seeme n to breathe life into my dick since it began to develop some more. Mom wanted to apologise on her behalf behaviour earlier and her pursuing my buddies away. I apologised to her for disrespecting her by allowing my buddies to do something that way. My mother stepped to the side of my sleep and said she needed a hug. I lay up at the medial side of the sleep and before I really could operate, Mother closed the length between people, pulling me limited against her because hug. My arms gone about her as well. Mom was still wearing her swimsuit from earlier that day. And, as Free Live Cam Porn a result of height difference between us, my mind was against Mom's 36C's. She had her hands around me dragging me as firmly as you are able to against them. My arms were around her waist, hugging her as tightly. I do not know wherever I obtained the nerve to do it but I made my mind to ensure that my lips were against among her breasts. She jumped a little in reaction to the shock, I guess, and abruptly her ass was within my hands. Obviously enough, I squeezed her butt cheeks. I guess how you can start that story is always to present myself. My title is Hector and I am a nineteen year old first year scholar at a school about a two time push from home.
The vehicle I drove, a recent year Toyota Mustang was a senior high school graduation present from my parents. Luckily, my children was properly down meaning I'd never skilled economic woes whenever you want in my life. Dad was a large Xxx Live Sex Girls picture lawyer who'd seldom been home when I was growing up. Dad had dedicated his life to attaining wealth through his career. Alexandros, often resolved as Alex, was a large, formerly well developed person of Greek heritage. Over time, Father had morphed into a fat slob and a drunk. My mother, Angelika, also of Greek heritage, could have been the precise antithesis of my father. Mother was devoted to our lengthy family, myself, and our home. While forcing forty years old, she had maintained her figure. Family photos from Mom's childhood revealed a warm young person with large boobs, extended blondish hair to her waist, a flat tummy, and feet that went on forever.
All of the guys preferred the girls flashing one eyes, baring their pussies for an instant, but I was generally a tits and butt man. Broken! Also wearing a swimsuit, Mom stood at the far conclusion of the pool watching the goings on. The party recognized her nearly instantly and called out loud hellos. Needless to say, the degree of raunchiness on the diving panel slipped off. I wasn't certain if she'd seen the flashings from her angle. Perhaps we weren't busted. After grinning and waving at the group, Mother turned around and returned to the house, signaling me to follow her. I guess she'd seen our shenanigans following all.
When hiking out, I was positive a few of Mom's laughter was at my expense. My trunks were plastered to my human body and my Mother encouraged chubby was on display. I left the poolside region as easily that you can getting refuge in my room. Later that day, having dried down, I was putting on my bed, just wearing briefs, texting my friends and listening to music with my headset on. Getting a flash out of the place of my vision, I considered see my mom ranking in the doorway. I don't discover how extended she have been ranking there.
Mom was five nine and despite having given beginning to me at the age of nineteen had maintained Free Live Cam Sex Show her figure with only some kilos included and pouching her tummy. Her breasts, 36C's I knew from snooping, looked company however and seriousness defying. Mom's legs were extended and muscular. Her beloved footwear for conventional occasions were four inch stilettoes while she favored tight, sort installing gowns and skirts for several occasions. She turned her nose up at pants and jeans. Needless to say, with her long legs on display, she used tights almost every day. Though through the years I had observed Mother in a variety of stages of undress, I never truly compensated any attention to her in a sexual way. My Teen attractions were girls I went to school with, never having any problems locating a girlfriend. It was just in senior school while speaking with some buddies following school have been terminated for the afternoon, that I begun to see Mom as a sexually desirable creature. Among my guys pointed to a warm blonde strolling over the parki ng ton in our general direction.

The Postal Service saw revenues drop by hundreds of millions during its third quarter, the agency announced Monday.
From Feb. 22 to May 16, revenues totaled $16 billion, about $483 million below what the agency had estimated for the third quarter. Expenses were $15.8 billion, or $370 million less than the agency anticipated.
The savings were not enough to hold off the larger-than-expected revenue shortfall, according to agency Chief Financial Officer Richard Strasser. As a result, net income for the quarter was $224 million, which is $112 million less than expected.
Strasser, discussing the numbers Monday with the agency's board of governors, blamed the revenue decline on stagnant mail volume. For the second consecutive quarter, there was no growth in mail volume. In fact, First Class mail fell 2.4 percent from the same time last year. Standard mail-mostly advertising mail-grew by 3.2 percent. It was projected to grow by 3.5 percent over the same period as last year.
To date, agency revenues stand at $48.8 billion, about $1 billion under plan, while expenses were $1.44 billion below plan. If cost-saving measures-mainly reductions in workhours and attrition-continue, the agency should end the year $600 million in the black, Strasser predicted. That does not include money the agency will recoup thanks to a law altering how the Postal Service contributes to the Civil Service Retirement System.
The Postal Service currently operates under different accounting periods than other organizations. Starting next year, the agency will report its financial numbers at the same time as most companies.

Well well well... Time to start baking again!
First time baking in this new year and first time baking in this new apartment.
Trying my new oven, and the result is not too bad but need a lot of settings at first tho.
I baked New York Cheesecake for my colleagues and will bring it tomorrow on Val's Day.
Why cheesecake? Cos they said they love my NY Cheesecake that much. So honoured!
Anyway, I use my usual recipe but this time I decided to put and follow the topping which is just a mixture of 1 cup sour cream, 2 tbsp caster sugar and 2tsp lemon juice.
I took a bite of the cake just to taste and I feel it's too sour-y. Hmmm...
Maybe it's too much of sour cream and lemon....
I hope inside will taste fine from the sugar mix.
I am happy with the look tho, I learn something here.
The topping actually makes the top edge does not look burnt as my previous cheesecake, but the taste? Still, I wonder why my very 1st cake in every new recipe always taste better. Sighhhh!
When it comes to baking, I bake into perfection so I am not that happy this time.
Need to edit my recipe then....
I am thinking to add something on the top so that it gives the sweet taste and make it not too sour-y but poor me my fridge is just empty at the moment :(
Anw, hope my colleagues will like it!

Player power did not get Alex Neil the sack at Norwich City
PUBLISHED: 10:37 12 March 2017 | UPDATED: 08:17 13 March 2017
©Focus Images Limited www.focus-images.co.uk +447814 482222
Norwich City chairman Ed Balls rejects the theory deep divisions in the Canaries' dressing room toppled Alex Neil.
Neil was dismissed ahead of Saturday's 2-2 Championship draw against Blackburn after failing to guide City into the promotion picture this season.
Cameron Jerome's barbed post-match comments regarding a lack of respect to the management, following last weekend's mauling at Sheffield Wednesday, triggered the end game, but Balls insisted a clean break was best for all parties.
"Listen as a board or a chairman it is difficult to get into the weeds of that. Some players would have been happy, some not but that holds true at any football club," said Balls, speaking prior to Saturday's Rovers draw. "When he arrived he had the respect of the players to do what we did, but the reality is week after week of poor performances take a toll. You only had to look at the pain in the Cameron Jerome interview, as in Russell Martin's after Brighton. I don't think it was players losing confidence in the manager. It just wasn't working.
"There were lots of fans who felt we should have made the change in the autumn. We looked at that hard, often clubs who change manager quickly regret that decision and many fans and media felt in January he could turn this around. Realistically Burton, Sheffield Wednesday, Bristol City were poor. It is clear the players felt that as well. The qestion we had to ask ourselves as a board was, we need to plan for next season, we need to hit the ground running in the recruitment process and we felt Alex was not the right man to lead that. It was a long term strategic decision not a knee jerk reaction. We couldn't sit on our hands for a couple more months and then start it in June or July."
City will unveil the first stage of that blueprint later this week, before stepping up their managerial search.
"We are going to move away from a single chief executive," said Balls. "We have had a chief executive here for a number of years with David (McNally) and Jez (Moxey) and when we made the change back in January we said we would look at our structures. I am not going to pre-empt the announcement but we want to make sure there is a proper focus on the non-football side.
"This is a big business that employs a lot of people, but we also have to make sure we take an integrated, long term approach to the whole football side encompassing the academy and recruitment. The manager's job is to run the team, pick and motivate them. The manager is an important part of that but you can't have a manager who is running recruitment and the academy. Alan (Irvine) is doing that for two games but he will not spend the time worrying about our recruitment for the summer."
Irvine stated after Saturday's game he would not apply to replace Neil on a permanent basis.
"I would not stop anyone putting their CV in but Alan knows what the remit is," said Balls. "Alan has not been asked to become the manager of the football club. We want him to be the interim manager to try and win games while we decide about the long term manager. We will not put a timeline on it because we want to bring in the right manager. We want the new manager and the new structure in place for the close season to hit the ground running. That could be before the end of the season, it could come at the end of the season or early in the summer. It depends on who we go for. Realistically this coming week we will set out the change on the structure and who we bring in as a manager will be part of that structure."

I wish I had come up with that phrase myself, but you can't always complain that other people got there before you did. My desire for authorship, originality, and uniqueness is tempered by the sense of belonging, of shared experiences, and by standing on the inside of inside jokes that only other potters would get. Sometimes its what we share that matters more than what sets us apart. Sometimes the joy in being a potter is that I too belong to this intelligent and caring community.
So yesterday was one of those sublime days that only other potters can really relate to. Tony Clennell is in town to help fire Ron Meyers' woodkiln, and I had been looking forward to catching up with him again. As usual, Ron was hosting a number of fellow potters for the event, and it was my good fortune to be there when Judith Duff and Steve Driver were on shift stoking the kiln. Fellow Athens potter Kyle Jones and I made the trip out there and spent the chilly afternoon with Ron and Tony watching Judith and Steve add wood to the firebox, talking pots, local pottery history, online pottery and sales, new kiln technology, and any number of other topics that sprang to mind.
To an outsider I can only imagine that the afternoon was wasted on the potters' equivalent of watching paint dry. I'm pretty sure the kiln only climbed a bit less than 100 degrees in the 4+ hours we were out there. Nothing spectacular. Just steady service to the kiln and the craftsmanship of woodfiring.
20 odd years ago I would have been bored to tears. Anyone not a potter undoubtedly would. But, you see, these days I find myself on the inside of this quaint ritual, and standing around a smoke belching, wood consuming stack of bricks is actually my bread and butter. Its the cake and the icing. I understand the world from a potter's perspective. And I am grateful to be a part of this oddball community that shamelessly walks the streets in clay spattered clothes, gets excited about the esoteric interest of melted wood ash, and can spend solid minutes searching for the tip of flame that occasionally licks above the chimney stack.
To see the world through an artist's eyes means you notice and find interest in small details that others overlook. The world marches on, and the artists stop to see the wonders. Artists pause to uncover the mysteries that continually unfold. Artist pay attention. What we find interesting will often seem quite silly to outsiders. In their world it probably is. But the job of artists is to notice the difference of things, to pick small unassuming details out of the chaos and build new values from them. Its what artists are trained to do. We teach each other about the possibility the world contains. We are explorers.
Painters use pigment to capture light and distance (among other things). Sculptors use materials, surface and shape to constitute ideas and make comments. Musicians turn sound into an expression of emotion and imagery. We all tell stories with our unique gifts. Ceramic artists tease new meaning from the fire hardened raw earth. For potters, it means we have a license to kiln……
Happy potting, all!
Make beauty real!

Xavi Says Neymar Announced Intention to Leave Barcelona at Messi's Wedding
Former Barcelona midfielder Xavi has stated that Neymar told his teammates he was keen to leave the Camp Nou and move to Paris Saint-Germain at Lionel Messi's wedding.
The celebrations, which housed Barca players both past and present, took place just over one month before the Brazilian's switch to the French capital for a record-breaking €220m (£199m).
However, according to the four-time Champions League-winner, the 25-year-old attacker had already made up his mind to quit the Primera Division leaders in favor of the big-money summer spenders.
"He said to us at Messi's wedding that he wanted to change club," Xavi told the BBC. "I said to him but why? He said 'I am not happy in Barcelona, I prefer to leave, to have a new experience in Europe at PSG' and finally he did, it was his decision, we must respect it."
Since Neymar's arrival, PSG have steamrolled almost all that has been laid in front of them, remaining unbeaten in all competitions and sitting six points ahead of second-placed Monaco after just nine games in Ligue 1, as well as a win's difference ahead of Bayern Munich in their Champions League group.
But even though the highly-decorated Brazilian has played an instrumental role in Paris' success so far this term, another key factor was the arrival of Kylian Mbappe. The teenage French sensation joined the Parc des Princes outfit on a temporary basis during the summer, with a longer-term agreement built into his contract come the end of this campaign.
The world-class pairing have netted 15 goals and provided 12 assists between them so far this term, and Xavi believes that they could prove the catalyst in European elite success this year for Unai Emery's side.
"I think with Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, Paris Saint-Germain have a great chance to win the Champions League this season," the Spaniard added.

Waterloo, ON, April 15, 2019 - MEDA's President and CEO, Dr. Dorothy Nyambi, was pleased to address the graduating students of Conrad Grebel University College at their Convocation on April 14th, 2019. Dorothy's address was entitled "Living Life with Purpose", and encouraged students to celebrate the accomplishments marked by the occasion while looking to the future as untapped opportunity.
Sharing stories from her past as a young girl growing up in Cameroon, Africa, she underlined the power of entrepreneurship and community in living through adversity with dignity and pride. Dr. Nyambi emphasized the importance of investing in connections that matter and challenged the graduates to "Form a community that inspires knowledge, leadership, creativity, generosity and responsible citizenship." Recognizing the pressure immediately imposed upon students to succeed and perform upon graduation, Dorothy offered a reminder for students to consider the values guiding their choices and to remember the diversity of each person's path. She left the graduating class with a call to three things: don't be afraid of what you don't know, and regard change as an opportunity rather than a mountain; foster and root yourself in community wherever you end up; and make choices about the values that will guide your life. Congratulations to the graduating class of 2019!

Your Journey to Operational Excellence
I'm assuming by visiting this blog you may already be familiar with Ideagen, it's even possible that you are in the process of using our products as you read this very article! But even if you don't know who we are, you will quickly recognise that our company and its solutions are designed to help organisations more effectively manage Quality, Safety and Risk. This might look slightly different for each business we work alongside owing to their individual needs but it boils down to getting an organisation into the position where they can focus on what they can do better rather than continually having to deal with what has gone wrong.
When you chat with someone from Ideagen you may hear us refer to the idea of a 'Maturity Model' (diagram is below). This helps us to understand where your business is located on its journey towards reaching its goals , which could be:
- Aiming to easily demonstrate compliance to standards
- Reducing the risk of accidents happening
- Gathering more meaningful data in order to make more informed decisions
Each of these goals can be achieved by using our solution - but it's important to remember that each stage builds on the success and processes established at the preceding level as we strive towards the lofty ambition of 'Operational Excellence.'
Quality Management and Beyond
Each organisation is different and only a few will be at the point where they need every aspect of our solution, the maturity of your business can typically be determined by your existing systems, processes and, quite simply, what you are looking to accomplish.
As you might have noticed from our graphic, the second stage has been described as 'Safety/Reporting'. This often gets linked to OHSAS 18001 (set to be ISO 45001) and a number of Health & Safety requirements where it's necessary to implement formal procedures in order to reduce the risks found in a working environment (and rightly so). Also, the functionality is an excellent way to extend the reporting capabilities of an organisation. My only issue with this label, and its safety based connotations, is that it simply does not do the reporting functionality and its limitless potential any justice!
Electronic Reporting
The very essence of our Mandatory Reporting System is that it will allow you to replicate your paper forms electronically. Let's take a step back for a second to appreciate the significance of this. It means that, rather than using a spreadsheet to record customer feedback, you can complete a custom form which you will have designed from the ground up instead. This form can be surfaced online via web reporting to allow any employee or indeed your own customers (if you're brave enough!), to submit the feedback which is then classified and routed directly to the appropriate individual to investigate the issue through to closure. By submitting an electronic form like this, you have the advantage of producing a more powerful analysis because you can break down any field (as long as it's not free text). This allows you to analyse feedback by type, the product line it relates to, who raised it and so on.

The COQOS Hypervisor runs the instrument cluster functionality, including safety-relevant display elements based on Linux, as well as Android-based in-vehicle infotainment on one R-Car H3 SoC chip. The COQOS Hypervisor SDK shares the R-Car H3 GPU with Android and Linux allowing applications to be presented on multiple displays.
The functions of the R-Car H3 GPU and video/audio IP make virtualization by the hypervisor possible and allow multiple OSs to operate independently and safely. COQOS Hypervisor SDK is built around a safe and efficient hypervisor that can run software from multipurpose OSs such as Linux or Android, RTOS and AUTOSAR-compliant software simultaneously on one SoC.
The instrument cluster functionality is rendered by Linux, which does not give the required safety (ASIL) level by itself. OpenSynergy has developed the Safe IC Guard to run on a separate guest OS and verifies that safety-relevant information is displayed correctly. IVI functionality runs on an OS based on Android. The COQOS Hypervisor SDK has been pre-integrated and tested with the newest versions of Android, including Android P.
The IVI application running on Android and the instrument cluster running on Linux can share the same display. A screen manager controls display within the instrument cluster so that image content does not obscure safety critical information. The COQOS Hypervisor SDK also includes an AUTOSAR-compliant CAN gateway running on the Arm Cortex-R7core on the Renesas R-Car H3.

The ParkMe app will give real-time data on the hours, costs and availability of 800 parking spots in Venice and 900 parking spots in Hollywood. The app is also in use in the city of Santa Monica.
The app was created by Santa Monica-based ParkMe in collaboration with Xerox and uses data provided by the Los Angeles Department of Transportation.
"From sensor-based infrastructures to proprietary algorithmic models, we are looking forward to a deeper expansion that will bring intelligent parking solutions to an even wider audience throughout the nation," ParkMe COO and co-founder Alex Israel said.
"With success in Las Vegas, Miami Beach, and Austin, ParkMe is creating a streamlined city traffic model by empowering drivers with smart information," he said.
David Cummins, senior vice president of Xerox, said "this solution goes beyond just making parking easier."
"The ability for people to access up-to-the-minute information cuts emissions and helps cities improve traffic flow," he said.
The ParkMe app is one of several similar apps — including Parker and Parkmobile — now available to drivers in Los Angeles, city officials said. It adds to the coverage area of the LA Express Park program, which uses parking meters sensors, offers real-time parking data and sets prices based on demand in a 4.5 square mile area in downtown Los Angeles.
"ParkMe is one tool in a growing toolbox of technology-driven projects that are making parking easier in L.A.," said Councilman Mike Bonin, who chairs the council's Transportation Committee.
"I'm excited to see Parkme help people find spots in Venice, which will save drivers a headache and will reduce traffic in neighborhoods when people no longer need to circle the block looking for a spot," he said.
Information about the app can be found at http://www.ParkMe.com.

Mexican Celebrations
There is Nothing Like Mexican Celebrations
Mexicans really know how to enjoy life and celebrate their national and religious holydays like there is no tomorrow.
Take for example the Mexican Independence Day. All Mexicans are celebrating their independence day with so much passion and euphoria as if they just won it yesterday and not almost 200 years ago.
Every 16th of September the entire Mexico is decorated including streets, cars, houses, office buildings, trees, and people. Everything that can be decorated is decorated with Mexican national colors of green, white and red, Mexican flags, balloons, and light decorations.
People are wearing traditional Mexican clothing and costumes or at least they have the sombreros (traditional Mexican hats with large brim) on heir heads.
Traditional Mexican music is played by the Mariachis and other traditional Mexican bands. Mexican dances such as the Mexican Hat Dance are danced in the streets and everybody sing traditional Mexican songs or just yell and shout. The reason for this is that on that they it doesnt really matter if you know how to sing because the only important thing is to make some noise.
Of course traditional Mexican foods are a big part of all Mexican fiestas, especially the Mexican Independence Day, as well as the great Mexican drinks including tequila, Mexican beer, vine, margaritas, sangria and many others.
There are also other Mexican celebrations that are not so intense but nothing less interesting and unique such as the Mexican national holiday the Day of the Dead or the Posadas and Mexican Christmas celebration.
The Day of the Dead is the Mexican holiday that is dedicated to the family members and friends that have died. It is the time to remember and honor them and pray for their souls. This religious Mexican holiday has its roots in the Aztec religious beliefs and even though it is not an official holiday it is celebrated by the great majority of Mexicans.
Mexicans have very special and unique way of celebrating Christmas. It is especially interesting their way of celebrating the time just before Christmas (December 16thDecember 24th), which is called the Posada. This is the time when Mother Merry and St. Joseph were looking for lodging days before Christ was born.
In conclusion, Mexican celebrations are big part of rich and traditional Mexican culture and if you ever get a chance you should experience it.

Red Bluff >> Jackson Heights Elementary School students had a glimpse of what could be their future Friday as they watched five Red Bluff High School seniors float down the aisle to Pomp and Circumstance during a college rally.
The students were there as part of a college readiness awareness effort to talk to students about their plans to attend college in the fall following their June 2 graduation.
"Jackson Heights is a part of the No Excuses University network of schools," said Rebecca Gallagher, an instruction coach and response intervention teacher who coordinated the event. "We promote a culture of college and career readiness. Every classroom adopts a college, learns about the college, learns a college cheer, and wears college attire. At our college rallies, classes sign up to do college cheers and songs."
Rallies are held about every six weeks to help with the process of making students aware of what schools are out there as well as to get them ready by getting them thinking about going to a college or university, Gallagher said.
At Friday's rally, Red Bluff High School college bound seniors wore their caps and gowns and, after marching in, introduced themselves, telling where they will attend college and sharing what they will be studying.
"We are hoping that our students will make a connection with these seniors and see them as role models," Gallagher said.
Two Jackson Heights alumni were in the group, including Alexis Garcia who was presented with a $250 scholarship by the school. Funds for the scholarship were raised through bake sales and other events during the year. Garcia will be attending college in Oregon, studying to be a radiologist.
Mary Herrera is going to the University of Nevada in Reno to study political science while Ryan Gamboa will attend Butte College as a beginning to studying criminal justice. Tessa Burch is planning to attend Chico State to study dental hygiene while Brittany Botell plans to attend college triple majoring in physics, chemistry and math.
Students also got to see teacher Trixine Peart recognized for her recent community service award from Delta Kappa Gamma, Beta Lambda Chapter, and the fifth grade students perform traditional Mexican dances they had learned for the school's Family Fiesta night under Tom Threlkeld.

I had a breast reduction with Mr Alvi and he is the best, From the very first consultation I was given the best most upto date advice. from ,reception, theatre and the aftercare team the treatment I recieved was outstanding, Mr Alvi was very informative and gave me loads of information and was never pushy, he is also very caring he understood my worries about surgery but for me it was the only way to go and have nothing but praise and confidence in the team.
I had thought long and hard about this course of action in fact 5 years but when I finally took the plunge Mr Alvi made it like a walk in the park, he is an axcellent surgeon and the pain management was excellent in fact there was little pain at all more a bit of discomfort.
I was always made to feel that I was the most important patient and nothing was too much trouble, everything went perfectly and I am very happy with my new breasts.
Excellent would use again if needed without a second thought.
Thank you team

Today is a tough day. The letter is "X", and frankly a lot of parents don't like to name their children with names that begin with x. I can't imagine why… Anyways, today's post features a saint whose name was originally spelled with an x, before later being changed, Saint Xystus I:
Pope Sixtus I (42 – 125) was the Bishop of Rome from c. 115 to his death c. 124. He succeeded Pope Alexander I and was in turn succeeded by Pope Telesphorus. In the oldest documents, Xystus (from the Greek word for "polished") is the spelling used for the first three popes of that name. Pope Sixtus I is also the sixth Pope after Peter, leading to questions whether the name "Sixtus" (meaning "sixth") might be fictitious.
More can be learned about him at his wiki, located here.

Review by Bobby Green
If you're looking for a groove so dirty that it's going to reach inside your guts and shake your very foundations then look no further than Fountaines double A side 7" single 'Hurricane Laughter / Winter In The Sun.' This infectious Dublin 5 piece outfit delighted us earlier this year with 'Liberty Bell' but have really stepped it up a notch with 'Hurricane Laughter' This could well be musician.ie's single of the year with its gloriously flamboyant video perfectly painting a visual surreal accompaniment to this psychedelic romp with a hook so naughty it should have an 18 certificate. A superb single with a superb video.
'Winter in the Sun' has a more familiar Fontaines sound full of blatant Dublin attitude, but I honestly believe that it might get overshadowed by the quality of its shared billing. Catch Fontaines live as they tour Ireland to promote the new single.
Sat 7th October- The Button Factory- "Hurricane Laughter/Winter In The Sun" Launch.
Thu 12th October- Crane Lane Theatre- Cork

NO, it is not! Please look at
The worst part of it is that the patterns in question, that I'm aware of, have been no older than 7 years. If you own a bead shop, teach beading, or even just bead, you should be aware of the limited rights that you purchase with a pattern or book. If you like that artist's work and deprive them of their income then you may not be seeing any more of their work in the form of patterns.

Hot Tubs
Hot tubs come in many varieties, and they all present some exciting health benefits.
If you've never been inside one before, then you're definitely missing out.
It's a great way to de-stress and achieve relaxation, so it's well worth taking a dip if you're feeling tense.
Why Use A Hot Tub?
Hot tubs are often referred to as jacuzzis, but they're the same thing. Primarily, they serve to help you relax.
How do they manage this? Well, as the name suggests, hot tubs are filled with heated water. Instantly, this is proven to help relax your muscles and get rid of lots of built up tension. In fact, many athletes will spend time in hot tubs as part of their recovery routines, to prevent muscle stiffness.
But, the main lure of a hot tub is hydrotherapy. This involves using water to help treat different conditions – usually related to pain. Here, we see how a hot tub differs from just a warm bath. It stimulates your muscles by using jets of water that are fired from the floor or sides of the tub. The best way to describe it is that it looks like the water is bubbling. Essentially, this provides you with an underwater massage to relax.
You should use a jacuzzi if you're suffering from chronic pain or muscle stiffness. It's also very beneficial from anyone who has a lot of built up stress. A few minutes in a hot tub with some hydrotherapy will help sort you out.
What Is A Whirlpool?
If you've ever done some research on hot tubs, then you may have come across the term 'whirlpool'. To keep things simple, this just refers to any hot tub that has a circular water function. In essence, you can change the settings, so the water acts like a whirlpool, helping with hydrotherapy.
Different Types Of Hot Tub
Hot tubs can usually be found in spas or wellness centers, and they might have slightly different features. They should all have massaging jets of water that provide the whirlpool sensation, but some can be more powerful than others. Then, you have different heat capabilities, along with extra features such as soothing lighting and molded seats.
The best thing about hot tubs is that there are lots of home options available to you as well. Plenty of brands make them, but they tend to fall into one of the two categories:
- Portable hot tubs: often referred to as above ground hot tubs, this option can be moved and placed anywhere you desire. They can sometimes be inflatable as well, though you can purchase them in different materials too. The best inflatable hot tubs are built from quality materials and very durable.
- In-ground hot tubs: these are seen as customizable hot tubs as they're built to your specific demands. They tend to be built into the ground – normally in your backyard. They can come with a lot more features as it's all dependent on your desires!
Custom-built jacuzzis are typically more expensive, but they're far more sturdy and can have additional features. And whether you have a stock model or a custom tub, pairing it with the best hot tub steps will ensure you can enjoy it safely.
What To Expect In A Hot Tub
Stepping into a hot tub can be an invigorating experience. Preparing to go in is the same as preparing for a dip in a regular pool; get your swimming costume on and step in carefully. Next, you can expect to feel the warmth of the water, before the jets start up. Now, you can sit or stand in the hot tub as the water massages your body and relaxes your muscles. It won't feel as rigorous as a massage, but you will definitely feel a sense of relaxation as soreness melts away. Many people like to use a bath pillow (we review the best bath pillows here) to make their time in the hot tub more comfortable. For an added relaxing treat, consider using a bath bomb the next time you hop in the hot tub. You can read our review of the best bath bombs for more information.
The Benefits Of A Hot Tub
Hot tubs are proven to have a long list of potential benefits for many people. If you're thinking about buying one or heading to a spa to try one out, then these are the benefits you can enjoy:
- Relief from built up stress and tension
- Relief from muscular and joint pain – proven to help calm the symptoms of arthritis
- Immense relaxation that lowers your blood pressure
- Improved sleep when used before bed
- Improved mood by releasing endorphins that help you feel happy
One of the best things about a jacuzzi is that it's extremely safe. The water isn't deep enough to worry about drowning, and all you have to do is sit there for as long as you like! It's well worth spending some time in a hot tub if you've been feeling very stressed or experience chronic pain in your muscles. You'll be surprised at how much better you feel after just half an hour in one of these hydrotherapy tubs.

No, I'm not trying to be weird. My background heritage is Native American on both sides of my family. I share their religious beliefs. I actually think it helps me.
About 6 months or more ago my father fell and ended in the hospital almost comatose for a week – he did not know where or who he was. Then, he was in the nursery home for 3 months. My mom can't drive so my time was spent driving back and forth from the hospital everyday. When he came home I fed him and took care of him until he felt, well, he said he felt better. He wasn't. He had develop Dementia/Alzheimer's – He was a totally different person. To him, I was the black sheep. I couldn't do anything right. He blamed me for everything that went wrong. Even stealing his money. I had to go through that and handle my bipolar at the same time. All I did was cry. I'm crying again.
Recently, I had a wreck. I was lost at the time and was very confused and got distracted so BAM – I hit someone. I'm also going through bankruptcy. You'll laugh at this. My car was going to be repossessed so I decided to file bankruptcy so they couldn't take my car. HA! They can have it now!
I wonder how much I can take?
We took dad to he hospital again two days ago. The doctors told us that he had a blood clot on his foot. They're not sure if it's from the Stroke he suffered while in the nursing home, or his heart. They'll be doing some test tomorrow to find out. The doctor told me today that his Alzheimer's/Dementia has escalated. This did not thrill me.
What does this mean? I'll be losing my life.
I need medical attention myself. My right foot is painful to walk on. I had bunion surgery and they found a cyst in the joint of my big toe. Now, I have developed osteoarthritis where it's painful to walk barefooted. I have to use a cane to walk.
When is there enough?
Today, I had terrible bipolar thoughts going through my mind. I actually said, why don't you just fall in the hallway here in the hospital and let someone take care of you. It was a thought only.
I have to do what I got to do. I say the Serenity Prayer and then I ask God to please help me and guide me through this ordeal.

ATLANTA, March 5, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Dana Incorporated (NYSE: DAN) today introduced its new Spicer® S172 series single drive axle for Class 7 and 8 vehicles. The new product retains the robustness and strength of the existing S170 single drive axle, but weighs more than 60 pounds less. It is yet another example of Dana's commitment to optimizing fleet uptime with lightweight but durable product offerings.
The axle is crafted for 4x2, 6x2, and 8x2 applications up to 25,000 lbs. (11,340 kg) GAWR. It offers a broad range of gear ratios, from 3.07 to 6.14, and features a low hypoid offset with High-Power Density™ AdvanTEK® gearing to drive maximum efficiency. The high-strength pinion bearings allow for greater lifespan under heavy loads, improving durability and overall performance. In addition, a passive lube management system requires less lube while utilizing a patented meter to optimize the amount of lube flow to the high-efficiency bearings.
The single drive axle can also be paired with the Dana tag axle as part of the Spicer® EconoTrek™ tandem axle, a durable, lightweight 6x2 configuration that offers increased fuel economy, improved performance, and reduced maintenance for heavy-duty linehaul tractors. This system is up to 3 percent more efficient and up to 380 pounds lighter than typical 6x4 offerings.
"Dana engineers are continuously examining innovative ways to improve our existing products," said Mark Wallace, president of Dana Commercial Driveline Technologies. "We were able to build upon the advanced features of the S170 and make it lighter without sacrificing its industry-proven durability and efficiency. We remain a company committed to finding a better way to address the needs of our customers and the commercial-vehicle market."
Dana will present a comprehensive lineup of driveline technologies and other solutions for commercial vehicles in booth 1005 at the 2018 Technology & Maintenance Council (TMC) Annual Meeting & Transportation Technology Exhibition this week.

McLaren is already a leader on the race track. Now the British company is trying it's hand in commercial sports car production by opening an $80 million factory. The focus will be a 200-mile-per-hour street-legal vehicle that will go for $266,000. With the high price and this being the first attempt at public success, McLaren is tempering expectations and aiming to sell around 4,000 cars per year.

Have things gotten better at the Dirty Dozen, you may inquire? You better back up with that shit. (That's D.D. lingo) It's six hours a day in the Gibbon cage. My coping strategy is to stop living there constantly. I had a lovely weekend, celebrating birthdays and life, eating tacos, sirloin, deviled eggs, sweet and sour chicken, chorizo and eggs, and cookies. YUM. Went dancing at the Pyramid, jumping and scream-singing, my favorite kind. And I sorta found some resolution to my dissolution of expectations.
I could have found myself in a nice little teaching spot, say with second graders at one of the "model" schools. It's possible. I have friends there. But instead I was placed in hell for awhile. Sometimes people still say, "You're doing a good job with them," or even better, "You're such a good teacher," or once I got, "You're a hero." That was good. But everyday when I sigh, and then take in a slow breath big enough to fill the new and improved diaphragm, then scream-talk to pronounce my will over theirs, I simply say to myself, "I hate this."
I don't think the problem is with schools. The problem is with kids. I've got plenty of good, dedicated parents. It's the kids, and how they are influenced by what's around them. During one golden moment last Friday, some of my kids opened up about their fathers during a book discussion, fathers in and out of jail, who've killed people, who deprive their kids of love on a regular basis. That made me think for awhile about little Kevin's resentment, and Cherif's desire to inflict violence on his pop. But then there's Davon with his ma and dad right there, calm, guiding him sternly. Is it that people don't know how to parent? I don't know how to teach. I still think more responsibility should be placed on the kids. Maybe they're outright rebelling against the norms of this society as if to say fuck you white America, Eminem style. Fuck rules. Fuck making me do anything. I'm tired. I want to eat seeds and roll around on the floor, throw pencils, say fuck you to anyone who stands in my way. I don't know. I haven't gotten wise yet about these matters. Raising kids is quite the complex conundrum.
My resolution is that I can leave this behind without feeling like I couldn't cut it. I don't enjoy making people follow rules. Rules are what school is all about. I suppose it's what societies are all about, systems, yadayada. No thanks, folks. I'd like to fit into some other spot as a community helper. I have my dream job pretty clear in my head. I have trees and hills and open fields pretty clear in my head.
Sometimes finding yourself in extremely uncomfortable, non-form fitting situations tells you the things you need to know. For that, I thank my children. But I won't miss them next year. I'm not sentimental or idealistic about public school teaching in the least. I'm glad I'm here in the middle of it to know and to explore facets of our world. This one is shocking, but very real. Knowledge is liberation, my friends.

"Demographics is desitiny in Texas tomorrow," so says some pollster talking to Lou Dobbs right now. Ron Kirk, he's our man. I have to say that politics has been boring the piss out of me over the past two years. Perhaps all the vim and vigor was syphoned out of me during the HISTORICAL, carnival-freak-show-esque past presidential election. Maybe it has something to do with 9/11, local debates losing their luster. But I read a great article on Kirk in the New Yorker a few months back and felt excited about championing the right choices again. Politics for me is all about what's right. It goes back to 1980 . . . while standing, waiting for the yellow school bus with Melissa Muench, the two of us got into it about what a pig Ronald Reagan was and how cool Jimmy Carter was, trying to rescue the hostages in Iran and all. (Future Habitat for Humanity peace, love and happiness guy, need I say more?). Well, Melissa didn't agree with me, so the two of us got loud, pointed fingers, and did a lot of standing with hands on hips. Nine years old, yeah. (historical tid bit--Melissa later became Miss Austin.)
I went on to University of Texas School of Government alumni status, worked for the elder statesman of the Texas House of Reps, and found my way into a seat in the audience of the Texas House Committee on Public Education's hearings for rewriting the state's education code. Fuel for my fire for the right choices, I tell you, Paul Sadler, he was my man--a now-retired state rep who headed that committee for 5 to 7 years. I am drawn by those who have the compass. They say what's right in a way you instantly recognize, but never could piece together in such a clear way yourself. Leaders define for us. They serve many purposes, but the one that makes me cry (I'm a bit of a freak show myself) is the way that they make oral art through definition.
Politicians have become our Howdy Doody cartoons, but leaders draw out the right amidst all that is messy. Go to the polls, all you Texans out there. Vote for Ron Kirk!

I found time to put some extra time into the "Keeper", from Red Box Games. I'm declaring him complete (for now).
I am quite happy with his color scheme and over-all look. I
am going to have to retry a this skin tone, or a variation of it, on
some undead in the near future.
This miniature is packed with detail, and I'll confess that when I got
to the end and realized that he had some kind of knife or sword tucked
into his robes (I think), I kind of needed a break from all the little
fiddly bits.
I am seriously considering revisiting some of his little detail bits to
see if I can pick them out an brighten them up a little better. I think
the hilt would be better as another shade of light orange-brown, like
some of this other straps and accessories.
My current plan is to take a break from such advanced figures and paint up a couple of table-top Battletech figures, before I dive into something new. I do have a pile of Reaper Bones that... followed.. me back from Texas.
