"The Thankful Heart," Ensign, Mar. 1994, 26
By Carolyn Wright
I was sitting behind two teenage girls on a bus. One of them was upset because her parents had balked at buying her a prom dress they couldn't afford. She was not happy with her second choice.
"Then Mom came unglued because I didn't say thank you," she complained. "I don't know what she expected me to say thank you for!"
Ungrateful child, I thought.
Not long after that I began pondering the promise of "a blessing that there shall not be room enough to receive it" (3 Ne. 24:10). Although I had been paying my tithing and fulfilling my other obligations, I did not feel overwhelmed with blessings. In fact, I felt that I had little to be grateful for.
Suddenly, my experience on the bus flashed through my mind. I, too, had been an ungrateful child. I began to think about my life, and, first as a trickle and then increasing to a torrent, there came to me a powerful awareness of the blessings I had received. From tiny everyday blessings to the great blessing of the Atonement, I saw how abundantly I had been blessed. The windows of heaven had been open all the time. I just hadn't noticed. My soul filled with such wonder and gratitude that I felt physically unable to bear it.
That night I understood for the first time that when gratitude fills our hearts, there is no room for unhappiness. Happiness, I decided, does not depend on obtaining all the desires of our hearts. It does not have to wait until we get married or become parents or acquire material goods. Happiness depends in large measure on our ability to feel gratitude for the abundance we already have.
But what if we don't feel grateful? Isn't it hypocritical to express an emotion we don't honestly feel?
Certainly. But there are ways to cultivate gratitude. The idea that emotions occur spontaneously, unaffected by any action on our part, is false. Through study and prayer and practical experience, I have learned that we can control our emotions. We can take actions that change the way we feel. We can increase our ability to feel gratitude.
Following are some simple exercises I have found helpful in developing a more thankful heart.
How to Develop Gratitude
Count your blessings. Awareness is the first step in developing gratitude. Bishop Henry B. Eyring pointed out that if we count our blessings with faith, the Holy Ghost will often bring other blessings to mind (see Ensign, Nov. 1989, p. 13). Many of our greatest blessings have been part of our lives for so long that we may have forgotten they are gifts. How often, for instance, do we recall that our physical bodies are blessings we eagerly longed for as spirit children?
One day a sister was contemplating the richness that music added to her life. She was suddenly overcome with a feeling of gratitude for those eternal laws that enable us to enjoy music. With that came a deep appreciation for the technology of recorded music that allows us to listen to music without having to be in the actual presence of the performers, a privilege we have been able to enjoy only in the past few generations.
Recognize trials as blessings. It may seem odd to think of illness, social upheavals, natural disasters, and personal tragedies as blessings. But how often have we heard people bear testimony to the growth they experienced through enduring periods of challenge and trial?
Some have supposed that trials are reserved only for the disobedient. But the scriptures make it clear that even the humble and obedient will face tribulation. Experience is a great teacher, and sometimes our hardest experiences can be our best teachers. When Joseph Smith was falsely imprisoned in Liberty Jail, he was told that even if he were to suffer in the most extreme circumstances, "all these things shall give thee experience, and shall be for thy good" (D&C 122:7).
This may be why we are commanded to give thanks for all things (see Eph. 5:20). Some blessings come to us painfully. But the Lord promises that "he who receiveth all things with thankfulness shall be made glorious" (D&C 78:19).
Carefully nurture every feeling of gratitude, no matter how small. Cultivating an attitude of gratitude is much like caring for the seed of faith. If we nourish the first tiny sprout, in time it will grow into a beautiful and fruitful tree (see Alma 32:27–37). I find that when I first become aware of a blessing, I can strengthen my feeling of gratitude if I immediately express my thanks.
Study your patriarchal blessing. Too often, we fail to recognize those gifts that have been given to us specifically. Our patriarchal blessings can help us recognize and appreciate these personal gifts. Reading our blessings can also help us avoid the human tendency to despise our own gifts and covet those given to others. In the poem "Richard Cory," by Edwin Arlington Robinson, the people who envied the wealthy Mr. Cory "went without the meat, and cursed the bread"—until the day he shot himself. Do we think of our talents as "bread" and of others' talents as "meat"? As we come to understand our patriarchal blessings, we can feel Heavenly Father's love for us and trust his wisdom in giving us what we have.
Read Mosiah 2:19–25. I often feel a spirit of gratitude return as I read this passage of scripture. King Benjamin's words, written in language both plain and powerful, remind me of the great dependence we all have on the Lord for everything, even our very being.
Record your blessings. Recording our blessings in a journal helps focus our minds on them and enables us to recall them later when we may have forgotten. Others, too, might benefit. President Spencer W. Kimball said, "Journals are a way of counting our blessings and of leaving an inventory of these blessings for our posterity" (The Teachings of Spencer W. Kimball, ed. Edward L. Kimball, Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1982, p. 349).
Express your gratitude to Heavenly Father. When we pray in private, the Holy Ghost often reminds us of blessings we have overlooked. Public prayers can also be revelatory. I have learned to listen carefully as others pray. They sometimes call attention to blessings that have escaped my notice. Some of the prayers that have influenced me most have been prayers that focused almost exclusively on blessings. President Ezra Taft Benson has said, "There is a great tendency for us in our prayers and in our pleadings with the Lord to ask for additional blessings. But sometimes I feel we need to devote more of our prayers to expressions of gratitude and thanksgiving for blessings already received" (God, Family, Country, Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Co., 1974, p. 199).
Express your gratitude to others. It has been said that when Heavenly Father wishes to bless us, he often sends that blessing through the service of another—a friend, a parent, a Church leader, a teacher. Expressing appreciation to these agents of the Lord's love accomplishes two important things: it reminds us of the kind and thoughtful service they have given us, and it knits our hearts together.
Pay an honest tithe. The basis of gratitude is understanding that all we have comes from God. In giving back to him one-tenth of our increase, we acknowledge that truth. Paying tithing helps cultivate a deep and sincere gratitude for the source of all our blessings.
Overcome roadblocks to gratitude. Sometimes, no matter what we do, a spirit of bitterness or depression keeps feelings of gratitude far away. In such cases, the unhappiness we feel may stem from something we have little control over. People suffering clinical depression need professional help in order to find relief from their negative emotions.
Elder James E. Talmage once observed that "God requires thanksgiving, praise and worship, not for His gratification as the recipient of adulation, but for the good of His children" (Sunday Night Talks by Radio, 2d ed., Salt Lake City: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1931, p. 486). The good we receive by developing a thankful heart is immeasurable. It cultivates feelings of reverence for God and thereby opens our souls to the influence of the Holy Spirit. It allows us to find joy in the here and now instead of in some future day when all our desires have been granted. A thankful heart allows us to face trials firm in the knowledge of Heavenly Father's love for us.
I like the way a friend of mine sums up the power of gratitude. "The grateful heart," he says, "sits at a continual feast."

Phytogeographically and climatically West Greenland includes parts of the low arctic and high arctic areas. The present vegetation and a summary of its history since the last glaciation based on pollen and macrofossil analyses are briefly described. The determination of more than 55,000 herbarium sheets of native phanerogams has been checked. Before preparing the dot maps it was necessary to decide at which level taxonomically difficult genera (eg: Antennaria, Draba, Poa, Puccinellia, and Stellaria would be treated). For all of these the criteria used are given. Dot maps have been prepared for 379 taxa. These maps have been grouped into 11 West Greenland distribution types, which clearly correlate with T W Böcher's biological distribution types (Böcher 1963). The collecting intensity in the large area is rather uneven. This is illustrated by a map giving the number of collections at the 305 localities from which 50 or more collections are at hand. Another map giving the number of taxa at 29 well-investigated localities illustrates the species diversity in the region. Most low arctic localities have more than 130 taxa, with 215 at the richest locality (Godhavn / Qeqertarsuaq on Disko), while the number at no high arctic locality exceeds lS0. Reference to the corresponding numbers in other parts of Greenland is given. Based on the dot maps a new delimitation of West Greenland in floristic provinces and districts is presented. It differs somewhat from that in Grønlands Flora / The Flora of Greenland (Böcher et al. 1957, and later editions). The major alteration is that the boundary between the low and high arctic phytogeographic provinces is now placed through north Disko - Nuussuaq. As a consequence of this the southernmost district in the high arctic is divided into an outer (NWso) and an inner province (NWsi). Minor alterations are suggested in the southern part of West Greenland.


Terra was Double Helix's first striking glass color and it has many fans. It's ability to produce rainbows of color have made it a favorite of both bead makers and bead buyers. But it disappeared for awhile and has come back in different forms with mixed results. By machine pulling Terra they can produce more consistent canes and the results will be more satisfying. I'm a huge fan of Double Helix using a quite a bit of their reducing glasses such as Aurae, Triton, Gaia, Kalypso, Clio…I could go on. I've played with Terra 2 but not yet Terra. Looks like I'm adding something to my list of things to do.

Q: How to export "IIS Express Development Certificate" to another computer to connect to local IIS via https connection? My goal is to test my Web Application via the HTTPS connection accessible from another computer on my local network. I have already installed the IIS Express Development Certificate on the computer where I develop the application, so when I open my site from the Visual Studio using a URL as such:
https://localhost:44234/MyWebApp/Index.aspx

It opens in a web browser just fine.
I also exported & then imported that IIS Express Development Certificate to another computer on the local network & added it to Certificates (Local Computer)/Trusted Root Certification Authorities node.
But the issue is that to access this web app from another local computer (hosted in IIS) I have to use the host computer's IP, as such:
https://192.168.1.234:44234/MyWebApp/Index.aspx

but that creates the following cert warning in a web browser:

So is there a way to make this work on another local computer?

A: That certificate was issued to localhost (CN, aka common name) which is only valid on the machine itself.
To suppress the warning, you cannot use such certificates, but one that has the machine name as CN. Then the host name in browser's URL matches the certificate's CN, and the warning will go away.

A: I was able to resolve this by creating a self-signed certificate (with specific CN) using the SelfSSL tool following these or these instructions.

Jewish families like mine are scrambling to get ready for Channukah, the festival of lights. There are presents to buy, latkes to fry and menorahs to polish.

Stay up to date with the latest market news
Dubai increases infrastructure spend with several new major RTA projects slated for the next five years
Package of new projects includes a Sky Garden, bicycle lanes and promenades at Sheikh Zayed Road, Umm Suqeim and Jumeirah Beach
New bicycle share programme to be developed with Careem
Plans also account for current roadwork expansion projects across Dubai, and construction of new internal roads in residential areas
His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has approved a new five-year plan of infrastructure spend on future projects to be developed by the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA).
The raft of projects includes a Sky Garden, bicycle lanes and promenades at Sheikh Zayed Road, Umm Suqeim and Jumeirah Beach, as well as road and public transport projects and the construction of internal roads in residential districts.
The new Sky Garden project will serve as a new tourist attraction, according to Mattar Al Tayer, director general and chairman of the RTA. The proposed footbridge, 380 m long and 60 m tall, will span an area of 3,422 sq m. It will feature multi-level lanes for cycling and running, connecting the redeveloped Al Seef area to the Deira side of the Creek. It will also include new commercial outlets and naturally shaded areas that encourage outdoor activities.
The ruler was also briefed on the details of the Sheikh Zayed Road promenade located between Dubai World Trade Centre and Financial Centre metro stations. According to unveiled plans, the area underneath the Dubai Metro viaduct will be transformed into a green space stretching 2.5 km, with three main focal points called Bazaar Street, Technology Park and Urban Park, spanning an area of 54,000 sq m.
A new bicycle sharing project is also in the works by RTA, in cooperation with ride-hailing operator Careem. The proposal aims to have 3,500 bicycles at 350 stations across Dubai with customers able to rent bikes with their credit cards, NOL cards or smartphone apps like S'Hail. Careem will enable the bicycles with GPS and smart features for tracking, and predicting high occupancy areas.
A new Sunset Promenade project, spread across 80,000 sq m of beachfront area connected to Jumeriah Beach Walk, will be developed over the coming years. Similarly, the Umm Suqeim Promenade, to be located between Mall of the Emirates and Madinat Jumeirah, will be spread over 28,000 sq m and also developed according to proposed plans. It will feature three main recreational areas for families – City Hub Plaza, Time Out Plaza and Village Plaza – and a 110 m pedestrian bridge above Jumeirah with dedicated cycling and running lanes.
Deira is also scheduled for a makeover, with Sheikh Mohammed approving plans for the Deira Plaza project, spanning an area of 35,000 sq m. The new plaza will offer open spaces for public events, recreation and also provide public rest areas and multi-storey parking.

Wall Street IT Engineer Hacks Employer to See If He Will Be Let Go
On Friday, April 7, the FBI arrested Zhengquan Zhang, a 31-year-old IT engineer, who now stands accused of installing malware on his employer's servers to steal proprietary source.
Zhang started working for his former employer, KCG Holdings, Inc., in March 2010, first in its New York branch, and then its San Francisco offices. During his stint with the company, a Wall Street securities firm, Zhang worked as a DevOps engineer and was later promoted to a supervisor role, in charge of several other engineers.
Among Zhang's duties, according to his LinkedIn page and an FBI affidavit, the suspect was tasked with managing the source code of KCG's trading platform and the trading algorithms the company used to automate some of its financial transactions.
Access to this repository was granted only to approved employees and based on encryption keys that decrypted the source code based on each employee's access level.
Zhang's hacking uncovered last month
On Saturday, March 25, a quantitive analyst working for KCG from home logged in remotely into his work computer.
Shortly after, the analyst was disconnected from his session, and on re-opening the connection, the analyst says he discovered that someone had accessed his computer and opened a folder that held his archived email messages.
During the following hours, while trying to work, the same analyst was disconnected several times from his account. Understanding that something was wrong, the analyst logged the attacker's unique identifier used to connect to his work computer.
The next day, the analyst provided this identifier to the company's security team, who quickly tied it to Zhang's computer. KCG admins revoked Zhang's access, called in authorities, and started an official investigation.
Zhang stole proprietary source code
This investigation revealed that starting December 2016, when Zhang was promoted to his supervisor role, the suspect installed malware on the company's servers to record credentials for other users.
After a review of Zhang's entire activity, KCG says it found evidence that Zhang had used these credentials to access and steal parts of the source code of the company's trading platform and trading algorithms.
Zhang was able to successfully steal this source code without triggering any security alerts because in December 2016, when he was promoted to a supervisor role, he also got access to the company's Unix-based network infrastructure.
Because of this, he was able to identify and avoid proxy servers tasked with sniffing network traffic. Because these servers were managed by a third-party company, Zhang rerouted traffic to backup proxy servers, managed by KCG, to hide the data transfers that exfiltrated the proprietary source code to a remote server.
Zhang confessed to fellow employee
After KCG cut off Zhang's access to all his work accounts on Sunday, the next day, on Monday, Zhang admitted his wrongdoings in an email sent to a KCG employee, Zhang's former supervisor.
According to the email, obtained by the FBI, Zhang said he knew this [blocking of his accounts] "would happen because [of] what I did in the past few days and Saturday."
"I am still questioning myself why I did that," Zhang added.
In the email, Zhang admitted to planting malware on the company's servers and remotely accessing the accounts of several other KCG employees, besides the quantitive analyst who initially detected his actions.
Zhang says he feared for his job
The email then continued with Zhang explaining to the other KCG employee that he took these extreme actions because he heard of a potential acquisition and feared he would lose his job after the acquisition's completion.
He started hacking other employees looking for more information on the company's plans. Yet, this doesn't explain why he stole the company's source code.
On Friday, April 7, Virtu Financial, Inc. agreed to purchase KCG for almost $1.4 billion.
The Department of Justice charged Zhang with one count of theft of trade secrets, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and a maximum fine of $250,000 or twice the gross gain or loss from the offense.

Advocates to Congress: Increase Dollars, Not Just Quality, for Child Care Grants
By Alyson Klein on March 6, 2014 5:32 PM
The Child Care and Development Block Grant program, which hasn't gotten a makeover since 1996, is slated to finally go to the floor of the U.S. Senate soon (maybe even as soon as next week). The chamber will consider a bipartisan bill that sailed through the Senate education committee last summer. It's focused on improving the quality of childcare programs covered by the grants (through steps like requiring background checks for staff). Rep. John Kline, R-Minn., the chairman of the House education committee has had nice things to say about the legislation.
So a real-deal, honest-to-goodness bipartisan early childhood bill could actually make it past the finish line this year. Are early education advocates dancing in the streets? Well...not quite yet.
A coalition of more than 30 education advocacy groups—including such diverse organizations as the American Federation of Teachers (a union) and Stand for Children (considered more of a "reform" organization)—sent a letter last week to Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, the chairman of the committee that oversees education policy, and Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., the top Republican on the panel. They essentially say, hey, we really like your bill and we will support its passage. But, at the same time, we hope you're planning to funnel more money to CCDBG, to help programs and states cover the costs of the new quality improvements.
Here's a snippet from the letter:
While we strongly support the goals of this legislation, achieving these goals will require additional resources. These resources would be a worthwhile investment because stable, high-quality child care enables parents to work and children to learn and grow. Yet 260,000 fewer eligible children received assistance through the Child Care and Development Block Grant in 2012 than in 2006, according to a recent study by the Center for Law and Social Policy. In addition, payment rates for child care providers have stagnated in most states. To reverse the decline in children served and to successfully implement the much-needed improvements included in this legislation, we urge Congress to increase mandatory and discretionary child care funding.
The CCDBG reauthorization bill would encourage think more carefully about program quality. States now have to allocate 4 percent of their funding to improve programs. That percentage would gradually increase to 10 percent by 2018 under the legislation.
States would have to be much more explicit about how they were using those dollars--choosing from a broad range of options that includes beefing up staff training and giving parents more "consumer information" to help them compare different providers. Much more here.
But the legislation doesn't appear to authorize (Congress-speak for "ask for") new funding. Instead it just says that CCDBG will receive "such sums as necessary" (Congress-speak for "we'll figure it out later"). CCDBG, which gets about gets about $5.2 billion a year in federal funding, plus state matching funds got a relatively small boost of $154 million in the fiscal year 2014 spending bill, the most recent to clear Congress. But that hike—though appreciated—isn't enough to meet new quality standards, while also meeting rising demand for the program, advocates say.

Terrell Owens has blunt message for HOF voters about character
Terrell Owens has made it clear he feels disrespected by Pro Football Hall of Fame voters who have kept him out the past two years. On Saturday, ahead of the announcement for the 2018 Hall of Fame class, Owens is spending his time doing something he feels is more productive than waiting around for another slap in the face.
He'll be playing basketball in Los Angeles.
"I got two basketball games," Owens said, per Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Star-Telegram. "They need me."
That Owens deserves to be in the Hall of Fame is not even a question that needs to be answered. He ranks No. 8 all time in receptions (1,078), No. 2 in receiving yards (15,934) and No. 3 in receiving touchdowns (153). He also had nine 1,000-yard seasons and caught at least 10 touchdown passes in eight seasons, was voted to six Pro Bowl and five First-Team All-Pro squads.
Steve Young also made a salient point on Saturday about how Owens actually changed the game, bolstering his Hall of Fame resume all the more. It's hardly surprising that Owens feels disrespected that he wasn't a first-ballot inductee. One of the big reasons he hasn't been voted in yet is that some voters knock him for his character issues, to which Owens has a pretty blunt response.
"Ray Lewis, he's a guy that's up for the Hall of Fame," Owens pointed out. "You think about some of his off-the-field issues. But they feel like he's a shoo-in. I feel more disrespect than disappointed. And I've always said, too, that when you align your expectations with reality, you'll never be disappointed. So I think in terms of my body of work and what I've done for the game, then that speaks loudly for itself."
But quite honestly, Owens isn't wrong here. After all, Ray Lewis was being investigated for murder at one point and ended up pleading guilty for obstruction of justice. Owens — despite having a raw personality — never got into trouble off the field.
So, rather than waiting around for the vote to come in Saturday night, Owens will do something he actually likes, with people who want him there.


Pool noodles are amazing and can be used for so many ingenious toys. As a bonus, they can be found everywhere during the summer and can usually be purchased for less than a $1 a piece.
My two kids love to play fight. Their favorite activity is to beat each other up with these light sabers (and me if you've seen my About page). Play fighting can be so much sweeter when marshmallows are involved. In fact, I would happily open my mouth and offer to serve as a target with this marshmallow launcher.
Step 1: Cut off a 6″ long section from the pool noodle. A bread knife with a serrated edge works really well for this step.
Step 2: Tie off a balloon (as you would do if it was full of air). Fold the balloon (this will make it easier) and cut off the tip. Keep the bottom half with the knot.
Step 3: Stretch the balloon opening over one end of the pool noodle. Make sure it is nice and tight with little to no slack at the end.
Step 4: Secure with your choice of colorful Duck tape.
Drop a mini-marshmallow into the hole, pull back on the balloon tie, let go and watch that marshmallow fly!
As a note of warning, each mini marshmallow is only good for 2-3 launches. They simply become too flat and gooey after that. I solve this problem by playing in a well cleaned area and allowing to kids to eat any defunct marshmallows. I recommend rationing the marshmallow supply before beginning because a harmless game can easily turn into a marshmallow stomach ache.
Even for this mama target. I've learned the hard way that there is such a thing as too many marshmallows.
Thank you so much AmieJo!
Love this idea! And I love how inexpensive and simple it is…I love quick and easy projects!

They are tons of fun Rebecca!

Target has $100M of cyber insurance, $65M of D&O cover: Sources
January 14, 2014 Reprints
P/C Insurers Ace AIG The Travelers Cos. More + Less -
Target Corp., which last month had a massive data breach that exposed the credit and debit card information of some 70 million customers, has at least $100 million of cyber insurance, including self-insured retentions, and $65 million of directors and officers liability coverage, according to insurance industry sources.
These well-placed sources, who requested anonymity, said Minneapolis-based Target is self-insured for the first $10 million of cyber coverage. On top of that, there's additional cyber insurance through: $15 million of excess coverage with Ace Ltd.; then a $15 million layer with American International Group Inc.; a $10 million layer with Bermuda-based Axis Capital Holdings Ltd.; another $10 million coverage layer with AIG; then a quota share for the next $40 million of cyber insurance divided among four unidentified insurers.
To protect against executive liability, the third-largest U.S. retailer has a $10 million self-insured retention, followed by $25 million in primary D&O coverage with AIG, followed by an additional $15 million of coverage with Ace, then $15 million of coverage with the Hartford, Conn.-based based Travelers Cos. Inc.
On Tuesday, a Target spokeswoman said in an email that the company had no additional details to share. A Travelers spokeswoman said in a statement the insurer cannot confirm whether anyone is a client. An Ace spokeswoman said in a statement: "As a matter of company policy and confidentiality, we do not comment on specific claim incidents and cannot confirm or deny coverage with any particular company.'' AIG declined to comment. An Axis representative could not be reached for comment.
Initially, Target on Dec. 19 said the data breach during three weeks of the recent holiday shopping season affected 40 million customers. Then last week, the retailer said its investigation showed the breach was worse than anticipated and involved the theft of financial information of 70 million customers. That personal information, the retailer said, included PIN data embedded in customers' credits cards.
Target said its customers will have no liability for fraudulent charges resulting from the data breach. The breach has triggered state and federal investigations, as well as several lawsuits against Target.
Senators ask Target CEO for information on data breach
(Reuters) — Two U.S. senators sought answers from the chief executive of Target Corp. as questions mounted in Washington about the company's response to the hacking of credit and debit cards of millions its customers during the holiday shopping season.

One of the most frustrating, yet often overlooked challenges of moving to a new city is finding a trustworthy handyman in your area. In the past, you probably had a rolodex of tried-and-true home service providers. Now that you've moved, you'll have to start all over in your search for the perfect "jack of all trades." Not to mention, you'll most likely need a new plumber and electrician as well. Your new home may also require service professionals for pool maintenance, lawn care, painting and furniture repair. Not sure how to find these local pros? Here are 8 easy ways to find a reliable handyman, plumber and other home improvement professionals in your new city.
One of the best ways to find home service professionals is through Angie's List. The members only website provides an online directory of crowd-sourced reviews, ratings and insights about everything from handymen and improvement services to the best doctors and pet services. Members grade companies on an A through F scale. According to Angie's List, the reviews come from real customers. Home service companies cannot rate themselves or pay to receive a rating. Angie's List also labels certain companies as "Certified Pros." For more information on Angie's List, check here.
From handyman services and builders to lawn maintenance and carpentry, HomeAdvisor helps millions of Americans find and book the best professionals for the job. Providers on HomeAdvisor have been thoroughly screened and have received verified pro reviews. All you have to do is select a project category that matches your improvement needs and answer HomeAdvisor's questions. The organization will provide you with "four pre-screened, local home improvement pros" that match your needs and availability. For more information on HomeAdvisor, check here.
While Houzz is best known for its interior design marketplace, the website offers additional services as well. The website attracts "more than 40 million homeowners, home design enthusiasts and home improvement professionals," according to Houzz. Users can find everything from electricians and painters to tree services and lawn care through the Houzz marketplace. Each home improvement provider listed on Houzz comes with reviews, star ratings and contact information. They may also list photos and information about various projects they've worked on in the past. For more information on Houzz, check here.
The best way to find a handyman near you? Head to your local hardware store. After all, what better place to go than a store that specializes in home repairs? The local hardware store's employees may either have helpful recommendations for servicemen in your area or they may even be handymen themselves. Additionally, your local hardware store may have plenty of business cards, paper ads and contact information for contractors in your area.
Haven't met your neighbors yet? You can still ask them for references and recommendations on Nextdoor.com. The free private social network is designed for residents of a specific neighborhood and its surrounding communities. Neighbors can sign up online using their verified address. Once you're signed up, simply introduce yourself and ask for recommendations. You can also check Nextdoor's "Recommendation" category for everything from handymen and roofers to plumbers and pest control. For more information on Nextdoor, check here.
To find and compare experienced home professionals in your area, check Thumbtack's online marketplace. All you have to do is enter the service you need and your location. After answering a few questions, the service will then share your details with professionals in the area, who will compete for the project. According to Thumback, professionals will then provide you with custom quotes, which will include a cost estimate, customer reviews, business profile, contact info and a personalized message. For more information on Thumbtack, check here.
Have access to the internet? Try visiting Yelp.com to find your next handyman and other home service providers. The popular crowdsourcing website posts user reviews and recommendations for everything from restaurants and shopping to entertainment and services. All you have to do is type in your location and what it is you're looking for. Yelp will then show you multiple nearby businesses, all ranked by their star ratings. For more information on Yelp, check here.
One of the best (if not the best) ways to find a new handyman, plumber, electrician and other service providers is by asking around town for recommendations. Starting a new job? Ask your coworkers for suggestions. Meeting the new neighbors? Ask who they use for home repairs. More than likely, these new acquaintances will be happy to share their thoughts and overall experiences with certain people and companies. Remember: just as important as who they recommend is who they don't recommend. So listen carefully and be sure to ask plenty of questions.
Save your moving receipts. Those moving for work purposes could get reimbursed.
Hire a locksmith to change your locks. You may want to make extra copies of your keys as well.
Start the home decorating process.
Find a storage unit, if needed.

#BBNaija Day 17: Erica rejects Laycon, the bed squabble, Ozo snaps at Prince and lots more…
by Onyeka Maryann Chinenyeon August 5, 2020
#BBNaija Day 17 was amazing and fun packed. We brought you today's highlights – how Erica rejected Laycon, the bed squabble, Ozo snaps at Prince and lots more…
Day 17: Ozo snaps at Prince
While rehearsing for their music drama rehearsal, Prince walked out on the rest of the Housemates and Ozo wasn't having this.
Day 17: The bed squabble
Deciding where Wathoni's bed should be has set her on a warpath with Vee and it doesn't look like there will be an amicable solution soon.
Day 17: When love don't love you
Laycon struggles to take no for an answer.
All is fair in love and war, and when it comes to accepting that Erica won't love him, Laycon is at war with himself. From the moment Laycon walked into Biggie's House and set his gaze upon her, his heartfelt it had found its soulmate. Sadly every time he tried to make his true feelings known to her it has just ended in misery for the musician.
You have to admire how unrelenting Laycon is, but when it comes to matters of the heart, unrelenting can come off as pushy. When Laycon first approached Erica he made his intentions very clear and was friend-zoned almost immediately. Rather than take the message and move on, Laycon has decided that he press on and turn her no into a yes. The more Laycon spits game the farther he gets from saying something that will change Erica's mind about him. His chances at forever love with Erica have all but disappeared this week since Kiddwaya and her have started getting closer. It seems that the only people who think Laycon stands a chance with Erica are his fans who believe they will reunite on the outside once she realises that Laycon is becoming an icon.
A social media user has declared that 2020 Big Brother Naija housemate, Erica, will one day regret it after turning down Laycon's proposal while in the house. https://t.co/xEAG9ZTXVs
— We Love Laycon ♥ (@LayconFans) August 5, 2020
Today while looking for inspiration to try preaching love again, Laycon got words of wisdom from Dorathy that nobody could have ever seen coming. She pointed out to Laycon that he might be better off as Erica's friend. The friendship she reasoned is longer lasting and closer than a relationship if it's one of good quality, and may also lead to love in the long run if it's done right.
There's no telling if he will take this sound advice to heart, or continue failing miserably in his attempts. Either way, Laycon has gained the love that will help him the most in Biggie's House, the love of his fans.
Day 17: Much ado about cleaning
Cleaning Biggie's House has become a frequent cause of conflicts and we examine where the fault lies and the possible solution.
One would think cleaning a House filled with 18 Housemates would be a lot easier seeing as there are more hands on deck to assist but that isn't always the case in the Lockdown House. Not that they don't clean, but there's so much ado about who does what, where and when they do it and how they are told to do it and because of this, the House sometimes becomes a mess.
No one likes being bossed around but to get a job done, sometimes, someone has to tell you what to do and how to do it. Granted that a few people don't like being micromanaged, but still, there needs to be some form of direction and that's where the Head of House comes in. It's understandable to disagree with the method of the HoH, but a rational discussion to come to an agreeable method could help solve any conflict that may arise. But most times, it's never always this way in the Lockdown House especially during morning clean up. A simple discussion soon turns into a shouting match with both parties failing to come to an amicable solution and end up doing whatever pleases them and eventually ranting to other Housemates about the high handedness of the other or how strong-headed the other is.
Could it be the HoH making things difficult?
Lucy's time as HoH witnessed one of those conflicts. Right from the beginning of her tenure, a few of the Housemates didn't exactly take to her for individual reasons and that didn't really make her job easy. Also, a dictatorial style of leadership made it a lot harder. So, it really wasn't a surprise when she and Tochi got into it over cleaning roles. Tochi's main grudge was that he didn't like being bossed around while Lucy insisted that his inability to figure out how to properly carry out his outlined cleaning role is why she was in his case. In the end, both parties did what they wanted and ranted to different Housemates.
Watch Tochi and Lucy get into a heated argument over cleaning roles
Could it be the Housemate?
Kiddwaya and Deputy HoH, Dorathy almost got into it about who swept where, but calm heads prevailed. A brief explanation about why he decided to sweep somewhere else instead of where Dorathy asked was able to ease the tension and he added a bit of chivalry when he collected the broomstick from Dorathy and swept where she earlier suggested. So apparently, there are calmer ways to get the House squeaky clean instead of shouting.
It appears taking direction isn't exactly the problem when it comes to cleaning the House. A lot lies in the hands of the Housemates involved and the current Head of House. In getting things done, a few things need to be in place. First, a leader that shows empathy and willing to guide people without necessarily bossing them around. If the Housemates aren't favourably disposed to the HoH and style of administration, cleaning the House will remain contentious. Also, the Housemates must be willing to put their egos aside and yield to be led. Finally, like with all functional administrations, there needs to be a system that works. When you create a system that works with minimal adult supervision, there shouldn't be much trouble getting the job done. Hopefully, future heads can put in place a good system and the Lockdown Housemates become a lot more cooperative.
Day 17: A colourful Task
Task time with Dulux in Biggie's House and and things got very colourful!
It's amazing how a minute thing like colour can make a massive difference in your life. The Big Brother Housemates learned this as they were Tasked by Dulux to create a room for a young female working professional who loves bold style. The room they would be in charge of Anteroom, otherwise known as the reception, and it needed to showcase her love of art while blending in with the neutral colours of the house. The room also had to be warm and inviting while adding a pop of colour to the house.
A ballot system was used to divide the Housemates into two teams and the respective team's names were Lunar Falls and Cornish Dawn, two of the most popular colours from Nigeria's number one premium paint brand. After the teams were finalised, each team had to elect a leader and Kiddwaya was chosen as one with Ozo taking charge of the other.
If you fail to plan, then you plan to fail and to make sure the Housemates know what they are doing design-wise the first step for the Dulux Design Task was to create a mood board. The mood board would incorporate all the colour, style, art, lighting, and accessories they plan to use for the task and guide them to their design choices according to the equipment that Dulux supplied
Since designing for someone else is much harder than doing it for yourself the Housemates had a lot of in-depth conversations about what was needed and started the path to what was their most expansive and immersive task to date. Let's see how the Housemates turn more into less and turn this Task into another exercise in excellence.
Day 17: A Fine workout
A 'Fine' workout is what you get for being lazy in Biggie's House!
In life, days are never the same, and this could be said too for workouts in the Big Brother Naija House. The daily activity of exercising is a must in the Household and those who chose not to participate faced grim repercussions for their laziness.
The most encouraging Housemate today was Prince. He could be heard leading the session and trying to make sure that everyone gets the most out of their workout. Prince your fanaticism for fitness is fantastic!
His high level of enthusiasm is matched in work ethic by Kiddwaya. Kiddwaya once again gave his all during the session and was sopping wet with sweat by the time it was done. His work rate was spectacular, and even after workout time was finished, he continued doing push-ups in the House. When it comes to sweat, the kid doesn't play.
There's no reason to look bad while getting the body looking good, Tolanibaj took this idea to heart and wore sunglasses throughout her workout. If fashionable fitness ever needed a spokesperson, she would be it!
Some days you're in the mood to do it and on others, the mood isn't there even if you are. The latter was the kind of workout Vee had as she willed herself to fight through the fatigue and embrace fitness. Even though she yawned quite often, Vee never stopped trying.
A Housemate who didn't even get a workout in was Brighto. It wasn't because he was injured like Laycon, but rather because of laziness. Working out in the Big Brother house is not an option, and Brighto slept through the entire session. His sweet dreams would have been interrupted by Biggie fining him for sleeping through the workout, but he slept through that announcement too. Let's hope that Brighto learns from this and participates tomorrow, or waking up is going to become a bad experience for him every day.

Dogs are carnivorous animals, i.e. carnivores and we have taken that into account and have a lot of muscle meat in our recipes. Because we love all dogs, we add aloe vera – a natural ingredient that is kind to your pet."

Muppets Take Manhattan, The
The Muppets Take Manhattan, released in 1984, was not the first silver screen Muppet movie released. The popularity of the Muppet Show warranted a number of movies, including The Muppets Movie in 1979, The Great Muppet Caper in 1981, and several others post 1980's. Focusing on the Muppets Take Manhattan, the movie received mostly positive reviews and. although it did not make as much money as earlier films, it was still a financial success.
In this movie, the gang decided to take their new show, called "Manhattan Melodies", on the road, and they head to Broadway in New York City. At first, they have a difficult time finding a production company. They run out of money, and the troop must split up, with various Muppets taking jobs all over the country as Kermit remained in NYC to work on the script.
At first, Kermit's attempt at gorilla marketing to garner a theatrical production company does not go well, but eventually he lands a deal. Everyone is called back to NYC to get started. Unfortunately, Kermit gets hit by a car, gets a case of amnesia, and begins a new life as the play gets going without him. After a chance run in with Mrs. Piggy, who gives him a good punch, Kermit regains his memory, and the show ends up being a huge success. In the end, Mrs. Piggy and Kermit get married and everyone lives happily ever after...until the next film.

I love this cookie because they are so light and crisp; also, it is light in sugar. Be sure to make a double batch, it'll go fast.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and the sugar until fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract, the almond extract, and the ground almonds and mix until all the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated. Slowly mix in the flour. Make a ball with the dough and flatten with the ball of your palms. Place onto ungreased cookie sheets, leaving several inches between for expansion.
Bake 12-15 minutes until lightly browned.
Cool the cookies on the sheet for 1 minute, then remove to a rack to cool completely. When cooled, sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
b shared some with me. oh, they were as good as they look. you are a pro!

Жа́н-Бати́ст Дюверне́й (), или Иоа́нн Бапти́ст Дюверне́й (), в монашестве Леона́рд (; 1737, Лимож, королевство Франция — 1 июля 1794 года, Рошфор, Первая французская республика) — священник Римско-католической церкви, член Ордена босых братьев Пресвятой Девы Марии с горы Кармил (O.C.D.), мученик.

Принял монашеский постриг в монастыре в Ангулеме. Во время Великой Французской революции отказался принести специальную присягу гражданскому устройству церкви, за что был арестован и приговорён к каторжным работам. Умер, не выдержав испытаний в ожидании депортации, на грузовом судне, ранее перевозившем рабов. Похоронен на острове  в  близ города Рошфор. В 1995 году римский папа Иоанн Павел II причислил его к лику блаженных.

Биография
Жан-Баттист Дюверней родился в Лиможе около 1737 года. Принял монашеский постриг в Ордене босых братьев Пресвятой Девы Марии с горы Кармил в монастыре в Ангулеме. В монашестве принял новое имя Леонард. В том же монастыре был рукоположен в сан священника.

Во время Великой Французской революции отказался принести специальную присягу гражданскому устройству духовенства, став одним из «», как называли не присягнувших епископов и священников. Он был арестован и приговорен к депортации и каторжным работам во французской Гвиане.

Из тюрьмы в Лиможе его перевезли в трюм грузового судна «Два приятеля», на котором ранее работорговцы перевозили рабов. Судно осталось в порту из-за блокады побережья флотом Великобритании. Приговорённые к депортации клирики находились в кубрике судна в тяжёлых условиях. В июне 1794 года среди заключенных началась эпидемия тифа. Они страдали от голода, холода и жестокого обращения. Не выдержав испытаний, Жан-Батист Дюверней умер 1 июля 1794 года. Его похоронили в братской могиле на острове Иль-Мадам.

Почитание
Ежегодно с 1910 года в августе католики совершают паломничество на остров к месту захоронения клириков. 1 октября 1995 года римский папа Иоанн Павел II причислил Жана-Батиста Дювернея к лику блаженных, вместе с шестьюдесятью тремя другими священниками и монашествующими — мучениками времён Великой Французской революции.

Литургическая память ему совершается в Римско-католической церкви 1 июля, в день его смерти и 18 августа с двумя другими мучениками, похороненными на острове Иль-Мадам близ Рошфора из Ордена босых братьев Пресвятой Девы Марии с горы Кармил — Мишелем-Луи Брюларом и Жаком Ганьо.

Air France-KLM Expands in Africa, Launches Daily Flight to LA
by Jena Tesse Fox |
We've been getting a lot of buzz from Air France/KLM recently. Here's some of the latest:
Passenger traffic was stable (-0.2 percent) for capacity down 1.4 percent. The load factor improved by one point to 80.8 percent. The number of passengers stood at 6.55 million (-0.8 percent). In France, May saw four additional public holidays compared to last year, which weighed on the leisure/business mix. As a result, unit revenue per available seat kilometer (RASK) ex-currency was stable compared with May 2011. On the Americas network, traffic and capacity declined by 1.8 percent and 2.6 percent respectively. The load factor stood at 86.7 percent (+0.7 points). The European network saw a rise in traffic of 2.6 percent for capacity up by 3.2 percent. The load factor declined slightly to 74.2 percent (-0.4 points).
The group is expanding in Africa: Last month, KLM launched three weekly flights to Lusaka (Zambia) operated by an Airbus A330, and Air France launched on 4th June a daily flight to Abuja (Nigeria), also operated by an Airbus A330. Air France and SN Air Mali have signed a commercial code-share agreement between Paris and Bamako that provides the African carrier a quota of seats on its daily flights between its hub at Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Bamako.
Domestically, Air France launched a daily flight to Los Angeles, operated by an Airbus A380, the third US destination to be served by this aircraft after New York and Washington. Air France flies to Los Angeles from Paris-Charles de Gaulle with two daily flights by Airbus A380 and Boeing B777.
And both Air France and KLM, in partnership with Panasonic Avionics, are launching a joint in-flight connectivity program on board their long-haul flights, with trials starting early next year. The trial phase will be conducted over the year 2013 on two Boeing 777-300s, operated by each airline. During this period, travelers will be able to hook up to the internet via their Wi-Fi enabled smartphone, laptop or tablet PC at a fixed rate, as well as use their mobile phone for SMS or e-mail, whatever their travel class.
The impetus behind these developments is a familiar lament in Europe's airlines: Air France and KLM spokespeople (who requested anonymity) said that the "soaring" cost of fuel and the current form of the emissions trading scheme are "jeopardizing the competitive position of the European airline industry." They also noted that these challenges are not helping to "create a level playing field which is essential for a healthy industry."
Despite the economic challenges, the group is working to reduce its impact on the climate, reducing CO2 emissions and increasing efficiency. Our source noted that the group has been sector leader in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for seven years in a row.

Q: Cargar datos de sql a un list view VB Buenas quisiera que se carguen los datos de mi tabla Rubro como columnas.
Pero hasta el momento no me logra visualizar en mi list view.

Este es el código actual:

   Private Sub Form3_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

        ListView1.Columns.Add("Ultima Cuota", 100, HorizontalAlignment.Center)
        ListView1.Columns.Add("Numero de Credito", 100, HorizontalAlignment.Center)
        ListView1.Columns.Add("Numero de Cuota", 100, HorizontalAlignment.Center)

        conn = New SqlConnection("Data Source=conexion;Initial Catalog=BD;User ID=usuario;Password=contrasena")
        Dim strQ As String = String.Empty
        strQ = "select top 2 Descripcion from credito..Rubro WHERE IdRubro NOT IN (41,42,44,45,1056,1057,1058,48,43) "
        cmd = New SqlCommand(strQ, conn)
        da = New SqlDataAdapter(cmd)
        ds = New DataSet
        da.Fill(ds, "Rubros")
        Dim i As Integer = 0
        Dim j As Integer = 0
        'Dim mycb As New CheckBox
        ListView1.View = View.Details
        ListView1.CheckBoxes = True
        ListView1.Columns(0).DisplayIndex = ListView1.Columns.Count - 1

        'ListView1.Controls.Add(mycb)
        ' adding the columns in ListView
        For i = 0 To ds.Tables(0).Rows.Count - 1
            For j = 0 To ds.Tables(0).Columns.Count - 1
                Dim LSet = Me.ListView1.Columns.Add(ds.Tables(0).Rows(i)(j).ToString())
                ListView1.Columns.Add("Check", 60, HorizontalAlignment.Center)

                LSet.Width = 208

            Next

                'Now adding the Items in Listview
                'For i = 0 To ds.Tables(0).Rows.Count - 1
                'For j = 0 To ds.Tables(0).Columns.Count - 1
                'itemcoll(j) = ds.Tables(0).Rows(i)(j).ToString()
            Next
            'ListView1.Controls.Add(mycb)
            'Dim lvi As New ListViewItem(itemcoll)
            'Me.ListView1.Items.Add(lvi)
            'Next
    End Sub

A: Para cargar tu ListView usando tu base de datos SQL, necesitaras primero hacer una consulta... y esa misma consulta, almacenarlo dentro de un objeto DataTable, asi finalmente solo lo tendras que recorrer con un For Each (o cualquier ciclo repetitivo que te sea mas comodo). En lo personal prefiero este para recorrer DataTables.
Voy a utilizar como base de datos Microsoft Access... igual no te preocupes por esto, porque el procedimiento de extraer datos es exactamente igual.

*

*Primero que nada... Define una clase base con el cual vas a realizar tus consultas... Yo tengo la mia ya definida llamada Acceso, con su respectiva conexion. Solamente voy a necesitar usar la siguiente funcion:
Protected Friend Function SelectQuery(ByVal query As String) As DataTable
    Dim tabla As New DataTable
    con.Open()
Try
    comando = New OleDbCommand(query, con)
    adapter = New OleDbDataAdapter(comando)
    adapter.Fill(tabla)
    comando.Dispose()
    adapter.Dispose()
Catch ex As Exception
    MsgBox("Error en la consulta: " + ex.Message, MsgBoxStyle.Critical)
End Try
    con.Close()
    Return tabla
End Function

En que consiste esta funcion... pues como veras, esta funcion es de tipo DataTable y necesitara un parametro que sera la consulta (String) a tu base de datos.

*

*Primero, la funcion declara un objeto de la clase DataTable y abre la
conexion a la base de datos.

*Nos adentramos luego dentro de un Try Catch. Inicializando un atributo de clase llamado comando, instancia de la clase OleDbCommand (que en tu caso, al estar usando SQL, debe ser SqlCommand), pasandole como parametro nuestra consulta y nuestra conexion.

*Luego de eso, inicializamos otro atributo de clase llamado adapter, instancia de la clase OleDbDataAdapter (que en tu caso, debe ser SqlDataAdapter), pasandole como parametro nuestro objeto OleDbCommand.

*Usamos el metodo Fill, pasandole como parametro nuestro objeto DataTable. Aqui nuestro adaptador rellenara de datos usando la consulta recibida y se conectara con tu base de datos gracias a la conexion pasada.

*Eliminamos objetos (comando/adapter) y liberamos memoria con Dispose, ya que el deber de cada uno ha concluido.

Ahora pasamos al siguiente paso, que es muy sencillo, cuando vayamos a solicitar datos para nuestro ListView. Como ejemplo, voy a capturar todos estos datos de esta tabla.

Public Class DemoClassListView
Dim admin As New Acceso
Private Sub DemoClassListView_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    ListView1.View = View.Details

    ListView1.Columns.Add("Id_Cliente", 75, HorizontalAlignment.Center)
    ListView1.Columns.Add("Empresa", 150, HorizontalAlignment.Center)
    ListView1.Columns.Add("Direccion", 150, HorizontalAlignment.Center)
    ListView1.Columns.Add("Correo", 150, HorizontalAlignment.Center)

    For Each itm In admin.SelectQuery("SELECT Id_Cliente, Empresa, Direccion, Correo FROM Cliente").Rows
        Dim obj As New ListViewItem(itm(0).ToString)
        obj.SubItems.Add(itm(1).ToString)
        obj.SubItems.Add(itm(2).ToString)
        obj.SubItems.Add(itm(3).ToString)
        ListView1.Items.Add(obj)
    Next
End Sub
End Class

Nota que primeros tuvimos que construir nuestra ListView sin datos. Y luego proceder a recorrer nuestro DataTable, quiero que le prestes mucha atencion a esta linea de aqui porque es clave:
For Each itm In admin.SelectQuery("SELECT Id_Cliente, Empresa, Direccion, Correo FROM Cliente").Rows

Este es la declaracion de nuestro ciclo for each. En donde creamos un objeto temporal que capturara los datos contenidos en las filas de nuestro DataTable.
Dentro del ciclo:
Dim obj As New ListViewItem(itm(0).ToString)
    obj.SubItems.Add(itm(1).ToString)
    obj.SubItems.Add(itm(2).ToString)
    obj.SubItems.Add(itm(3).ToString)
    ListView1.Items.Add(obj)

Como tenemos capturada la fila en nuestra "variable temporal" itm, le señalamos seguidamente la columna de acuerdo a su indice... funciona exactamente igual que los arreglos. Las columnas que selecciones en tu consulta, siempre empezaran desde 0.
Id_Cliente = 0, Empresa = 1, Direccion = 2, Correo = 4, ColumnaQueSigue = 5... y asi sucesivamente.
Igualmente, si tienes pereza de hacerlo de esta forma, puedes simplemente escribir el nombre de cada columna:
Dim obj As New ListViewItem(itm("Id_Cliente").ToString)
        obj.SubItems.Add(itm("Empresa").ToString)
        obj.SubItems.Add(itm("Direccion").ToString)
        obj.SubItems.Add(itm("Correo").ToString)

Y nuestro producto final:

Lo recomendable generalmente, al trabajar con este nivel de base de datos, es usar DataGrids... ni siquiera tendrias la necesidad de construir las columnas... puedes seleccionar las columnas que desees... hacer un JOIN a tu gusto sin tener que andar añadiendo columnas anteriormente... por ejemplo...


Lots to do around my people's house with Thanksgiving coming up.
I'm trying to stay out from underfoot, especially since I don't want any of my paws stepped on, as everybody's relatives are going to descend upon us wanting to be fed.
So, since everybody seems pressed for time right now and I still want everyone to laugh and destress a bit, here are some one liners. Ready?
Would a struggling business that served submarine sandwiches be going underwater?
If Climate Change is causing the sea level to rise, does this mean that the oceans are getting too big for their beaches?
I used to be addicted to seaweed, but I found Kelp.
Do forgetful cows yield Milk of Amnesia?
Those who don't want to be counted have taken leave of their census.
And on a more serious note♫: regardless of how tasty the meat is-chicken, turkey, duck, and fish bones are NOT good for your pets!
If you're going to feed your pet table scraps from your Thanksgiving dinner this week, please remember: NO BONES!
Otherwise, take care, have a great week, and please be back here again next weekend for more Sunday Funnies!—AtP.

What can I do with it ? How can I make sure I have an access to it ?
I would like to avoid jQuery conflicts.
