As the “Professional Organizer,” I was really expecting Sean’s
hometown date with AshLee to take place in a Container Store. Sadly, it
took place instead in an unkempt Texas field. AshLee confesses that
she’s been “dreaming of this day since she was four years old.We sell
100% hand-painted oil paintings for sale
online.” Wait, THIS day?! This one right here? -- Meaning you’ve been
dreaming about eating lunch in a Houston field of overgrown weeds and
broken dreams since you were a kid? Well, AshLee, Err, I mean actually,
you probably have.
I got past that quickly though when AshLee’s
dad begins describing the moment he first met little AshLee when she was
a girl. He fell in love with her instantly and wants to be able to hand
her gently off to the next man who will love her like that. It was so
corny. But it was such a beautiful portrait of adoption and made most of
America weep.
AshLee is overcome with emotion – and naturally
can’t help but sprinkle her conversation with talk of her abandonment
issues and bad decision making. Gawd forbid she let the present moment
speak for her instead of constantly wallowing in her past. She tires me.
AshLee tells the camera that she thinks there’s positive pixie
dust scattered all over her right now. Little does she know, that’s just
left over “sparkle” from Tierra.
The next hometown date brings
Sean to Seattle to meet Catherine and her Filipino family. The date
begins in the fish market throwing fish to and fro. I’m pretty sure that
Catherine’s inability to catch that first fish will foreshadow her
inability to reel Sean in. Or will it? Hmmm…
You’d think that
with all those rings on her fingers, Catherine would be able to get one
in the hole. All those rings make me think she’s Mandarin from the Iron
Man comics. -- You with me?
Next up, Sean meets Catherine’s mom,
sister and Lola (her grandmother), all whilst a piece of food clings to
her front bangs and I wait anxiously for her real love interest,
Lindsay Murphy, to show back up and save her from herself.we are the
biggest USB flash drives wholesale supplier in china. That didn't happen.
Speaking of food, Catherine’s mom serves the clan egg rolls. Based on that alone, if I were Sean, I'd choose Catherine!!!
But while Sean gets egg rolls from her mom, he gets eye rolls from her sisters. Yikes!
These
two tarts are the original angry birds. No joke. When Sean asked if
they think Catherine is ready to settle down, one of the sisters chimes
in bitterly saying that Catherine goes in 100% with guys and makes
things really fun and the second the fun starts to fizzle out, it’s over
for her.I personally really like these mini ear cap for my iPhone. She’s either very happy, or very focused. Or, she’s very messy and she’s a big slob.
Lindsay
says she has never been this happy in her “whole entire life.” And
since she’s merely a toddler judging by her voice, we know that a couple
rounds of paddy cake and a bubble bath and she’ll be set for the rest
of it.
Seriously, I feel like Sean should just drop her off at KinderCare and head on out to his final date with a grown woman!
But
before that can happen, Lindsay insists Sean get “Army ready!” And
nothing says “Army ready” like a pair of converse and breakaway
windbreaker pants. Not to mention the mock turtleneck. Wasn’t aware
people still wore mock turtlenecks.
Great, now that Sean is sweating profusely and wreaking of B.O., he’s all set to meet the ‘rents!!! Bravo, Lindsay. Bravo!
As
the two drive the car towards the parent’s house, I can’t help but
envision Lindsay still sleeps in a bunk bed dawned with a floral
comforter and hundreds of Holly Hobbie dolls.
Upon arrival,
Lindsay’s mom runs to the door and greets her daughter with all the
enthusiasm of her having been gone for four years of college...
It’s an enthusiasm,Check out our selection of eyewear Optical frame
today! I might add, which I do not happen to share for her choice of
couch fabrics. Seriously, is that a couch or are they sitting on a plaid
Boy Scout? Yikers!
At this point, it really won’t take much to
convince me that Lindsay’s mom wears jeggings and still stores all her
makeup in a caboodle.
As for Lindsay’s father,Design and order your own custom silicone bracelet
/ rubber bracelets with personalized message and artwork. he gives Sean
his blessing, should Sean decide to ask for his daughter’s hand in
marriage. To commemorate the moment, he gives Sean some dog tags with

them.

Overdosing on 'identity' fever?
For the rather large number of ‘new’ Chennaiites or migrants to the
city, getting basic services without a local address is still a hassle
in the metro. From gas cylinders to SIM cards for mobile phones, even
private service providers haven’t been known to be kind to newbies in
the city.
Before accessing any of these services, the essential prerequisite is having a bank account,Wireless indoor indoor positioning system have become very popular in recent years. as wedding videographer Prabhu, a native of Kumbakkonam, found out after moving here, “I have no rental agreement or any proof to show I have been living in Chennai. They gave me an option of getting an ‘introduction’ from another member, but even that didn’t work out. I tried for it for some time and got tired,” says the videographer, who has now wised up after four years of living here.
At least he spoke Tamil. Things were much worse for Tibetan student Dorji Kyi who came here to study. “At the bank, I tried explaining to them that I had just arrived in the city and needed to open a bank account so my sponsors could send me my scholarship money, but they insisted on a ration card or driver’s licence,” she relates.
The major problem that a lack of an ID bearing a local address poses, is getting a cooking gas cylinder. It took close to a month of running around for 3D animator Vinod Kumar to get an LPG connection. A native of Vellore, who now resides in Adambakkam, he applied for a PAN card as the gas agency said it was enough to have at least a photo proof first. “I had to search for houses where landlords agree to give a rental agreement. Many of them refused an agreement. Finally, the agency accepted a letter from my company after they felt sorry for me for walking in to their office almost every day,” he says. Even Dorji agrees. When she provided them with her refugee passport and detailed photo-ID card issued by the exile government in Dharamsala, the LPG companies flatly refused, “We still buy expensive commercial gas cylinders, after living here for six years,” she laments. “Officials in Chennai do not want to consider ID proof issued in any other states,” she complains.
If these domestic services are difficult to obtain, people say that it’s nothing short of a nightmare to get an ID like a voters card. Mageshwaran, a visual effects artiste from Cumbum, who settled with his family in T Nagar five years ago, is yet to get a voter’s ID for his wife Kalaivani. “I applied to get her a voter ID in Saidapet. They asked me for documents like a marriage certificate, ration card and rental agreement. I applied for all this and got them after a long wait. I changed houses to get the agreement. It has been many weeks now since I applied, I still haven’t got it. I am ashamed to say that I even bribed officials but they are still giving me excuses like the paper has not moved from one officer to another,” he says.
And if you happen to lose your ID cards, then heaven help you. When social worker Sapna Abraham was called to Africa for a project two years ago, she put all her original IDs—driving licence, PAN card, passport and bank passbook in her bag, to be taken to be photocopied.Explore online some of the many available selections in Floor tiles. Her bag was stolen on a bus, and that was the last she saw of her IDs.
“I made numerous trips to the police station, filed an FIR, spent days waiting at the RTO — for 6 months, I did all I could to apply for fresh IDs. Every step of the way, the cops kept making up unnecessary new procedures and new difficulties. They kept sending me back, asking for lawyer’s signatures, new documents, new photographs and made me rewrite the complaint six times. Their behaviour bordered on harassment, as at the end of six months, they asked me to come back with my father!,” she says.
Planning to travel at night or attend a late-night party? Carry a valid identity card with you. The cops can stop you and demand to see your ID card. Reason: It is the time when criminals are on the prowl.
That is why the movement of people at night comes under the police scanner. While there is no provision in law whereby the men in khaki can restrict the movement of people, they can stop night travellers and question them. “It is usually in the nature of a casual enquiry,” a senior police official said.We sell 100% hand-painted oil paintings for sale online.
If the person is able to account satisfactorily for his movements – where he is coming from and where he is headed for, and produce an identity card, he is let off. The “casual enquiry,” however, can turn “serious,” when the person is not able to do so. He is then taken to the police station, where his claims and credentials are ascertained before he is let off – or further detained when they turn out to be false.
The police can also demand ID in the event of seeing persons loitering near a teashop,Check out our selection of eyewear Optical frame today! on the streets or on the bridge overlooking sensitive places like the airport or railway station.
Also, identity proof, by way of records, should be presented during vehicul checks. Cops may also demand to see your ID during checks conducted in lodging houses and hotels.Design and order your own custom silicone bracelet / rubber bracelets with personalized message and artwork.
However, ID proof is not mandatory while seeking to file a case at the police station. “The person is a victim. We may ask for ID, while registering the details. But it is not a prerequisite to file a case,” the police official said.

NACO to lead major airport assignment
Taiwan Airport Company has awarded a EUR 33 million consultancy
contract for the development of Terminal 3 Area at Taiwan Taoyuan
International Airport (TTIA) to a joint venture of NACO, T.Y. Lin and
Parsons Brinkerhoff. NACO Netherlands Airport Consultants, a Royal
HaskoningDHV company, is the lead consultant in the joint venture.
Services will be provided for seven years.
Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport currently handles 25 million passengers annually and is preparing for a growth up to 60 million passengers in 2030. In the near future the surrounding Taoyuan region will be developed for commercial, industrial and residential use with a focus on aviation related activities. The new Terminal 3 will be connected with Terminal 2 and the area in between will be developed to accommodate a ground transportation centre, parking and commercial real estate. Both terminals will have stations served by the regional light rail system. The estimated direct investment is 1.25 billion Euros.
Taiwan Airport Company (TAC) aspires to incorporate the cultural heritage of Taiwan and focus on a sustainable scheme which combines excellent passenger experience, operational efficiency, use of renewable energy sources and minimal waste. The new terminal site is in the middle of the operational airport and it will be a challenge to minimize impact on airport operations.
Rik Krabbendam, Managing Director of NACO said “We are very proud that TAC has entrusted our team with this assignment. The airport expansion will allow the airport to regain a position as a major aviation hub and become an even stronger driver for the national economy, following examples set by Amsterdam Airport Schiphol among others.”

With its experience in construction management, Parsons Brinckerhoff will be responsible for the program management of the project and together with T.Y. Lin International will utilize their knowledge for the local engineering and site management.
Jackson County Circuit Court judges and staff are finishing up training on a soon-to-be-launched computer system designed to store all of Oregon's circuit court documents electronically.
"We are going to a paperless system, or, rather, we're going to be providing paper only on demand," said Bob Kleker, court administrator.
Instead of hand-carrying court files from room to room, staff will be able to move documents electronically and share information with plaintiffs, defendants and their attorneys, he said.
Designed by Tyler Technologies out of Texas, the new e-court system, dubbed Odyssey, will allow attorneys to file and serve documents electronically — and provide the public access to documents online ranging from parking tickets to divorce decrees. The system will get its first local test in early March.
"We've been having intense training of all staff here on site, which has been provided by Tyler,Your council is responsible for the installation and maintenance of street light." Kleker said.
Judges will manage their cases from the bench absent their ubiquitous file folders of paperwork. Instead, cases and calendars will be loaded into the new Odyssey data-management system. Judges will be able to pull up indictments, pleadings and other legal documents with the click of a mouse on large computer screens installed at their benches, he said.
"Judges won't have a hard file in front of them," Kleker said.

Orlando said the idea of gamification is to turn something that is normally boring into something exciting, or have someone do something that one wouldn't normally do, like attend a lot of campus events, and then get rewarded for it.

Police said the vehicle was rented from a car rental company at the Philadelphia Airport last August, but Giacona allegedly never returned the vehicle.

Police officials said Keegan alerted backup units that he had located a stolen vehicle, and followed behind until they arrived. Keegan and the assisting units from several area agencies pulled over the vehicle without incident and made contact with Giacona.
Investigators said they determined Giacona had stolen the vehicle from the Philadelphia rental location, and the Philadelphia Police Department and the rental company were both notified of the arrest.

An Android app -- called Planner Xtra -- from Dutch national train operator NS aims to at least bring transparency to the situation by developing an app that lets passengers know how crowded trains they plan to catch are, updated in realtime. The app ranks how busy trains are on a scale of one to three, where three could be described as "congestion level: sardines" and one is "my bag has the right to be seated as well". These levels are flagged with one, two or three human-shaped icons. The idea is that passengers can make an informed decision, factoring in their sense of urgency in getting to a destination and their ability to tolerate the sound and sensation of other people's breath in their faces.
The information is broken down not only on a train-by-train basis, but also on a carriage-by-carriage basis, so that passengers can position themselves at the right point along the platform to optimise their chances of getting a seat. For more long-term planning, the app also supplies a forecast for the average level of crowdedness on a particular train, based on historical data. However, this doesn't account for any delays, disruptions or any other planned engineering works.
The data is gathered through around 280 infrared sensors placed on the doors and throughout the train to measure the number of people who get on and off and how they move through carriages within the train. Around two minutes after the train leaves a station, the system updates the app to give a real-time overview of the level of occupation.

According to the Westtown-East Goshen Regional Police Department, 41-year-old Salvatore Giacona, of Claymont, Del., was pulled over after he drove past a patrol vehicle equipped with an automated license plate reader system in the 1100 block of Wilmington Pike (Route 202) around 4:45 p.m. Saturday.
Police said the vehicle was rented from a car rental company at the Philadelphia Airport last August, but Giacona allegedly never returned the vehicle.
But when he drove past officer Peter Keegan’s marked vehicle Saturday, a rear-facing camera captured the registration tag of the blue Ford Fusion and automatically alerted the officer that the vehicle was stolen.
Police officials said Keegan alerted backup units that he had located a stolen vehicle, and followed behind until they arrived. Keegan and the assisting units from several area agencies pulled over the vehicle without incident and made contact with Giacona.
Investigators said they determined Giacona had stolen the vehicle from the Philadelphia rental location, and the Philadelphia Police Department and the rental company were both notified of the arrest.
Giacona was charged with receiving stolen property, unauthorized use of an automobile and driving with a suspended license, police said. He was transported to Chester County Prison overnight and released Sunday after posting bail,RFID TagSource is the leading provider of RFID tag solutions for high value asset management applications. according to court records.I personally really like these mini ear cap for my iPhone.

A Retrospective” at the Oklahoma Capitol
Oklahoma artist Regina Murphy has led a prolific art career over more
than 40 years. Opening today and on view through April 14, “A
Retrospective” features a sampling of her vast portfolio of works from
different periods of her career.
Murphy’s passion for art is illustrated by the evolution of her style and experimentation with subject matter and various media including pastel, oil, watercolor, and acrylic painting.
“I experiment often with different techniques and subject matter,” says Murphy in a news release. “This variety holds my interest and keeps me always looking forward to the next project.”
At 91 years of age, Murphy has maintained diligence in her artwork and spends most weekdays working in her studio. After many years of plein air painting (painting on site in the open air), she now only paints in the studio – usually from photographs or recollection. The reality of her subject matter acts as the foundation and her creativity is expressed through abstraction of color, shape, and composition.
Murphy explains in the release, “I blend greatly abstracted shapes with realism, sometimes flatten space, use exaggerated or arbitrary color, and often delineate objects. My goal is to produce a painting that is not a ‘postcard’ view but will intrigue the viewer and prolong interest.”
Beyond the works featured here, Murphy has worked in numerous media,Full color plastic card printing and manufacturing services. both two- and three-dimensional.
“After all the experimenting, it seems the most comfortable endeavor for me is painting in either oil or acrylic, and my favorite subject matter is some form of landscape,” says Murphy in the release.
In her more recent works, she accentuates her landscapes with slightly abstracted, lyrical shapes in exaggerated colors and bold lines.
Murphy’s process for painting other subjects has evolved over the years as well.
“In the past, for still life paintings, I would set up actual compositions with fresh flowers,” she explains in the release.I personally really like these mini ear cap for my iPhone. “But in recent years, I paint from imagination, abstracting shapes,A card with an embedded IC (Integrated Circuit) is called an IC card. and again, exaggerating colors and outlining objects in bright colors.”
Of Murphy’s “Rocks & Boulders” series, she says in the release,Can you spot the answer in the fridge magnet? “Nature has always been a source of inspiration to me. A walk in the woods or near the water’s edge can start me planning paintings in which I might convey the feelings that come over me as I experience our awesome environment at close range. In this series my concept was to convey the stability, splendor, silence, and richness of color in nature’s boulders and rocks. Life is so transient; we are so vulnerable; but the earth endures, although gouged and scarred by time and the elements. Perhaps that is why I am awed by its grandeur and inspired by its beauty.”
Of another popular subject matter for Murphy, she explains in the release, “Puppets and dolls have been a recurring subject in my paintings through the years. When I found a wooden monkey puppet in an import shop I thought he would be a great subject for paintings, so I bought him and have created a number of paintings with this single puppet posing in any number of ways.”
Murphy, a longtime resident of Oklahoma, has studied at Oklahoma City University, Louisiana Tech University and at Louisiana Tech’s sister school in Rome, Italy, as well as with numerous nationally known instructors. She has traveled the world for study and pleasure to places such as Holland, France,RFID TagSource is the leading provider of RFID tag solutions for high value asset management applications. Morocco, Bali, China, Hawaii, Mexico, and Guatemala.
Her artwork is a staple in solo and juried exhibitions and competitions in the region. In addition, her artwork is included in numerous permanent collections including the Oklahoma State Art Collection, and the collections at the University of Science and Art of Oklahoma in Chickasha and the Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art in Shawnee.
But for Cardot-Greiner, the MBA, etc., had been a radical departure from the art career she once thought she’d pursue.
Giving art one more try has led to her own shop at 210 St. George St., a studio where she works on jewelry, oil paintings, pencil drawings and publication in several books.
She’s on a tight deadline now to finish in time for a New York City show, a group exhibition set to open March 1 and featuring artists from around the world. Called “The Power of Perception,” the exhibition is curated by Creative Concept Studios and one of Cardot-Greiner’s pieces is being used as a logo. A painting published in “The Power of Perception 2013” was commissioned as a backdrop for New York Fashion Week 2014.
When she was 4, her parents hung a white panel on a wall in the breezeway of their Pennsylvania farm house because she would paint on anything. She kept painting on that panel through the years.
In the ninth grade her Pennsylvania art teacher “saw something special. She told me I was already better than her,” Cardot-Greiner said, and an art scholarship to the Erie (Pa.) Art Museum was arranged so she could take art lessons once a week with a noted artist.
For four years she found a way to make the 40-mile trip. She trained to be an oil painter and got a solid foundation in drawing and composition. Later she studied fine art at Mercyhurst College in Erie.

Laminate Flooring Now Champion Tile
“If your budget won’t stand hardwood flooring, then you might want to
consider laminate instead. It’s fairly easy to install as well,
provided you read and follow the instructions, and don’t cut corners,”
pointed out Dean Dupre, who owns Champion Tile,A card with an embedded

The main attraction to laminate flooring as an alternative to hardwood is cost, but also the wide variety of styles, designs and colors available. This means versatility in choices to match a home’s ambiance and theme. It is not unheard of for a do-it-yourselfer to hit a store on the weekend, haul home flooring and lay it that same weekend. “It isn’t difficult to install, as it snaps together with planks with tongues and grooves. It’s almost fail-proof, too, because the plank design let’s you install it fast and easy, without a whole lot of work,” said Dupre.
Just remember that laminate flooring has a laminate base, and that simply means it adds even more strength to the floor, stretching its longevity.

Thankfully, laminate flooring comes in a wide variety of prices ranges to suit anyone’s budget. It’s also good idea to read the instructions on the outside of the box, just to make sure you have the materials you need to install the floor,” Dupre added.
