Since then numerous methods using modularity either as an evaluation metric for validation or as an objective function for optimization have been proposed [2]. However, modularity based algorithms suffer from several drawbacks and does not guarantee the correct division of a network [1]. Some algorithms operate on graph diffusion based seed expansion strategy [4, 5]. These algorithms mostly use conductance as the optimization objective because conductance is considered the best scoring function when the network contains disjoint communities [4].

1. "Making money is not gonna change anything about what I am, except I won't answer the door."
Author: Abel Ferrara
2. "Panic strikes me when I think about a sentence that isn't given the chance to live because I don't have a pen in my hand or am not sitting near enough to someone familiar to speak it to. Especially if it's a particularly good sentence, a sentence with truth or beauty or humor or sadness to it. The best ones always take you by surprise. They sneak into your head while you're walking down the aisles at a supermarket, or flat-out assault you when you're at your grandmother's funeral, and you have to scramble to give the thought life before it's gone forever. Cocktail napkins, palms, text messages sent to yourself."
Author: Adi Alsaid

Author: Adriana Trigiani
4. "How do you make someone love you? For the very young, there can be nothing harder in the world. You may try as hard as you like: place yourself beside them, cook their favourite food, bring them wine or sing the love songs that you know will move them. They will not move them. Nothing will move them. You will waste days interpreting the simple banalities of a phone call; months staring at their soft lips as they talk; you will waste years watching a body sitting in a chair and willing every muscle to take you across the room and do a simple thing, say a simple word, make them love you and you will not do it; you will waste long nights wondering how they cannot feel this - the urge to embrace, the snow melt in the heart when you are near them - how they can sit in that chair, or speak with those lips, or make a call and mean nothing by it, hide nothing in their hearts. Or perhaps what they hide is not what you want to see. Because surely they love someone. It simply isn't you."
Author: Andrew Sean Greer
5. "I lived in countries that had no democracy... so I don't find myself in the same luxury as you do. You grew up in freedom, and you can spit on freedom because you don't know what it is not to have freedom."

"Valentine's Day is nearly here.  Note that there is no exclamation mark at the end of that sentence.  That's because I couldn't be any less excited and more annoyed if I tried.   There are wads of catalogues in my letterbox spruiking jewellery and chocolates and wine, and massively over-priced cards at the doorway to the supermarket, the post office, the newsagent....?!  Could we get over Christmas already, please?  I am a Valentine Grinch"....

Man City have no time to brood on Wigan FA Cup shock

Manchester City's Brazilian midfielder Fernandinho (CR) vies with Wigan Athletic's English-born Northern Irish striker Will Grigg (CL) during the English FA Cup fifth round football match between Wigan Athletic and Manchester City at the DW Stadium in Wigan, northwest England, on February 19, 2018. / AFP PHOTO / Oli SCARFF /

Manchester City’s quest for a historic quadruple is over after a shock FA Cup defeat to Wigan but there is little time to lick their wounds with the League Cup final against Arsenal looming.

Pep Guardiola’s City face Arsene Wenger’s Gunners in Sunday’s Wembley showpiece, trying to win the first trophy of the Guardiola era, with Premier League glory looking certain barring a unforeseen disaster.

Guardiola’s team are also on course for the Champions League quarter-finals after thrashing Basel 4-0 away in the first leg of their last-16 tie last week.

But, even with the league title apparently in the bag, back-to-back cup defeats would put a dampener on what has been an impressive season of dazzling football.

Ten-man City went down 1-0 to League One Wigan in an ill-tempered FA Cup fifth round tie on Monday, courtesy of a late Will Grigg goal — a repeat of the scoreline in the 2013 FA Cup final.

To make matters worse, Sergio Aguero became embroiled in an ugly post-match altercation with fans while visiting supporters were seen tearing up advertising hoardings and throwing them on to the pitch.

“We’ve got to look at those (other three competitions) and look forward, but we’re disappointed,” said City defender John Stones.

“We wanted to be in all four competitions right until the end. That’s been cut short now. We’ll take time to reflect on tonight and look forward to the final on the weekend.”

Guardiola left Ederson, Kyle Walker, Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling out of his starting line-up but otherwise named a strong side containing Aguero, David Silva and centre-backs Stones and Aymeric Laporte.

Delph challenge
Following a series of complaints over dangerous challenges on his players not being punished harshly enough, Guardiola saw his own player, Fabian Delph, shown a straight red card just before half-time.

The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss then exchanged heated words with Wigan manager Paul Cook as they went down the tunnel at half-time.

But the Catalan admitted Delph and City only had themselves to blame for the defeat.

“Is a red card, yeah,” said Guardiola.

“For me it’s an unnecessary action and the referee decides what he decides, so I’m not here to judge, so can be a red card. We have to learn about that.

“I just judge my team for the intentions, not the result and today the intentions were good. We tried 10 against 11.”

City still dominated despite being a man light as Wigan enjoyed just 17 per cent possession and four shots compared to City’s 29.

However, they had the shot that counted, when Grigg latched onto an error from Walker, who came on after Delph was sent off, before firing past Claudio Bravo 11 minutes from time.

“We conceded one shot on target in 90 minutes and we lost, but football is like this,” added Guardiola.

The City boss played down his spat with Cook.

“Nothing happened in the tunnel, nothing happened with my colleague,” he said. “It was just please stay in your position, that’s all, and then finished.”

Guardiola said he did not see the Aguero incident at the end of the game.

“I was in the locker room, I didn’t see it,” he said. “It’s safer when the fans are not there, but sometimes it happens. The fans respect the players and the players the fans and go inside.”

Town of Lima, Sheboygan County, Wisconsin

Our Mission

We envision the Town of Lima as an area dominated by agriculture in harmony with a strong natural resource base. Situated between the two communities of Sheboygan Falls and Oostburg, the town does and will continue to provide a safe, quiet country atmosphere with friendly people. To preserve and maintain its uniqueness, careful planning is essential for continued slow, managed growth.

Town Lima & Sheboygan County Map

Lima History

Settlement in the Town of Lima began before Wisconsin became a state. In 1836, the Gibbs brothers were the first permanent settlers in the Town of Lima. They settled in the area now known as Gibbsville. The Town was named Lima, thanks to Hiram Humphrey in 1850, when it separated from Sheboygan Falls. The soil in the Town of Lima was of high interest to early prospectors, as it promised to produce good crops for early settlers.

Before 1849, the Town of Lima was called Wakefield and later Wheat Valley. The Town was part of a larger township known as the Town of Gibbsville and a precinct of Sheboygan Falls. However, in 1850, Lima became their own organized town. There were many churches and cheese factories built throughout the Town of Lima during the 1800s. At one point, there were 17 cheese factories in the Town. By 1850, the Town of Lima had built seven rural public schools to serve 229 students. Some of the old school buildings have been demolished, while others have been remodeled into homes. The Lima Center School, at five corners, has become the current Town Hall.

Modern-Day Lima

The Town of Lima includes two unincorporated villages, Hingham and Gibbsville. Hingham established a church in 1860 and sawmill in the 1830’s. Gibbsville was founded in 1836 by three Gibbs brothers. The Gibbsville post office was established on December 21, 1846.

As of January 1, 2007, the Town of Lima had an estimated population of 2,962 and encompassed an area of approximately 22,900 acres. Known for its gently rolling, rural farmlands and country atmosphere, the Town is located in southeastern Sheboygan County, adjacent to the Town of Wilson to the east, Town of Holland to the south, Town of Lyndon to the west, Town of Sheboygan Falls to the north, Town of Sherman to the south-west and the Town of Plymouth to the north-west. The town of Lima is also adjacent to the Villages of Kohler to the north-east and Oostburg to the south-east, and the City of Sheboygan Falls to the north.

"Fuck off, I got work to do..."

-Cyrus' catchphrase

Cyrus (played by Bernard Robichaud) is a recurring character in the series, beginning with the first episode.

Cyrus' first encounter with the boys was in the first episode. [1] He showed up at the park while Julian and Ricky were in jail, and moved himself into Julian's trailer. He began to intimidate the residents and run his own operations out of the park, until Julian evicted him upon his return.

He then reappears in the classroom when Ricky is taking his grade 10 exam. [2] He cheats by reading answers written on the back of Jacob Collins's neck. Ricky rats out Cyrus to the teacher and he and Jacob are ejected from the classroom. Later in the episode he finds Ricky and he has a shootout with the boys in the park to try to kill Ricky for stealing Lucy back and causing him to fail his Grade 10. Sam Losco is also there trying to kill J-Roc and Julian.

In season four, he is the provider of masseurs for Julian's Rub 'N' Tug, unbeknownst to them. He shows up and demands his cut of the operation, and is ejected from the park by Randy this time, who doffs his tight pants and beats Cyrus up.[3]

Many of the events of season 5 revolve around Cyrus. He partners up with Ricky's friends Terry & Dennis in the procurement and sale of hash. Their entire stockpile is then stolen by Julian, and once Cyrus gets wind of this, they head to the park to get it back. But (after a massive shootout with Julian, Ricky, Bubbles, Trevor and Cory), Cyrus, Terry and Dennis end up being arrested due to their general incompetence and bad luck.[4] Later that season, Cyrus and company are bailed out from jail by Jim and Randy,[5] as it is Jim's insane hope that Cyrus will kill Ricky and Julian in an attempt to get even. This of course doesn't happen and Cyrus is again arrested and jailed.[6]

Cyrus finally reappears in the finale, released from jail, and attending Country Dirty Dancing at the Blandford Recreation Center. There he feigns innocence to gain admission against the 'no dicks' policy of the event, but ends up trying to steal money and dope from the boys. He fails as Jim's plan to have everyone (Ricky, Julian, Bubbles, Ray, Lucy, J-Roc, Trinity, Sarah, Jacob, Tyrone and himself) arrested succeeds in short order.[7]

Cyrus's latest appearance was in the third installment in the Trailer Park boys films, in which he appeared at Ray's funeral at the dump. He appears there acting as Julian's friend, to which Julian clarifies that they aren't friends but business partners. Later in the film, Cyrus is waiting for Julian in Montreal to deliver many boxes of 'Drug Piss', which was stolen from the military for resale to people wanting to beat drug tests. Customers needing to pass a drug test can buy some "clean, military-grade" drug piss for "fifty to seventy bucks" and pass the drug screening. Sam Losco is living in Cyrus's trailer and helping him out for "free Kraft Dinner".

Later in the film, Terry and Dennis rob Julian of the Drug Piss, under the influence of Cyrus.

Characterization Edit

Cyrus always carries a gun that he said his father gave him, but it seems that most of the time he doesn't use it, despite his assertions to the contrary. On at least two occasions, he threatens to shoot people with it, but his bluff is called.

Cyrus always wears his black leather studded jacket and shades.

He always drives his red 1979 Corvette. The song he often plays in his car is called "I'm Old (You're Young)" by Rick Jeffery.

His trademark phrase, which he often uses to make a big exit, is "Fuck off, I've got work to do."

His pronunciation of "Julian" comes out sounding like "Julianne" which is the French feminine form of Julian's name. It is unclear whether Cyrus does this intentionally to needle Julian or unintentionally due to his peculiar accent.

Jail TimeEdit

"The Bare Pimp Project"-18 Months

"Give Peace A Chance"-18 Months (bailed out one month later by Randy)

"The Shit Blizzard"-2 Years

"Say Goodnight To The Bad Guys"-Unknown but it is over 2 years

What's Red Bull to do?
Category: Sport F1

In the interviews, Red Bull are making a big noise about Seb disobeying team orders, but really, what are they going to do about it? Does Christian Horner really think that having Seb apologise is enough? Someone called for a race ban but I can't see that happening.

I took my question to the internet, and have come up with a tried and true method for dealing with kiddies that can't get along:

US Wants To Help Improve English Skills In Cuba / 14ymedio

US Wants To Help Improve English Skills In Cuba / 14ymedio
US Wants To Help Improve English Skills In Cuba / 14ymedio

14ymedio bigger14ymedio, Havana, 12 February 2016 — The United States Department of State is organizing a program to raise the level of English instruction in Cuba, according to university sources in Washington DC speaking to this paper.

“Right now they are developing a proposal for a group of teachers from here to work with schools on the island,” said the source. The idea is to bring, “not only teachers, but also infrastructure and literature to prepare a group of teachers that can train another group of teachers who later can stay and teach English at the level of international standards.”

The problems meeting the objectives of the Minister of Higher Education (MES), Rodolfo Alarcon – which require Cuban university students to master English – could be alleviated with the support of the United States.

In Friday’s edition, the state newspaper Granma devoted a double page spread to detailing the problems faced by the ministry in meeting its goal.

There is a shortage of personnel to put at the front of the classrooms, and also a deficit in “indispensible material resources” for the study of languages, the paper reported in its expanded coverage. Last September the Pablo Torriente Brau Polytechnical Institute began a specialty in foreign languages, which is not delivering the expected results.

This education modality began to be tested in the capital, with students who chose to enroll to continue their studies in the Faculty of Foreign Languages (FLEX) at the University of Havana. However, the English and French classes have been offered “intermittently” and have been affected “by the unavailability of professors in some subjects of the specialty.”

Contract teachers are overworked in other schools, and students complain that they have missed countless classes due to the poor organization of teaching resources.

Of a total of six courses that make up the specialty, in at least two of them (Panorama of French Culture and Interpretation Technique) the students have not received a single class because there are no professors. Some students have turned to private tutors, who cost between 10 convertible pesos (CUC) a month to 1 CUC per class, to advance in the language.

The literature has also been a problem. “After months of scarcities, only now does each English student have the Spectrum 1 textbook with its workbook of activities,” says the director of the agency, Celia Banasco Casanove. But the French group has not had the same luck. “Although they made efforts at the Alliance Francaise, most of the texts are in digital format, says the official.

The situation contrasts with the growing market for teaching foreign languages in the hands of private teachers. The LandTES academy in Havana’s La Vibora neighborhood doesn’t face the same problems faced by state education. Its offerings include specialized learning of the English language for students of all ages and levels, and uses “highly qualified teachers,” one of its teachers says proudly.

The advertising for this private school run by self-employed teachers promises “sufficient teaching tools to offer courses in a well-developed and permanent space.” But most important is hearing its students confirm that the promises of the academy are not mere propaganda.

University presidents of Cuba and the United States met last September for the first time in Havana to establish the foundations for a “greater academic cooperation” between the two nations. At the meeting, they discussed the possibility of “internships for Cuban professors in the US and vice versa,” in addition to “identifying mutual strengths” to establish joint research and doctorates.

“Like a young Springsteen.. the band has something that sets it apart from most of the bar-band competition – songs. Real songs. Not just party anthems or thinly disguised cover tunes, but fully realized and often ambitious songs… the songs benefit from the sheer quality of writing, whether the tale is impassioned, introspective or inspiring." ~ Washington Post

Very Hungry Me

Speaking of cake, have you seen this gorgeous Very Hungry Caterpillar Cupcake cake?

How much fun could you have throwing a Very Hungry Caterpillar party for little kidlets? You could use all the foods in the book by making fruit salads, salami pizza and even mini hotdogs for the sausage. You could have a caterpillar pinata and you could pin leaves on a tree instead of pin the tail on the donkey. At the end, all the kids could get butterfly wings.

I might have to do it for an adult friend instead. Then we could have

3 shots of Plum Brandy

and finish with

Gimme Some Sugar

So the cake I made a while back was delicious, but I need to learn to follow instructions as the icing I made did not work. I made it like a syrup instead of a glaze.

If only I could glaze like Heather Locklear's eyes

It would have been so good if it had worked. That's the good thing about having brothers though, they ate it all up without a word of complaint.

PS. My bros are going to love that the picture I have chosen to represent them has them as two chicks licking a giant cupcake. Actually, the more I think of their sick little brains, they are going to love that.

San Diego - LegoLand

LegoLand was our first stop.  The kids have been super excited to go to this park.  They are having a Brick-or-Treat Halloween event too.  It was super crowded, but we ran into Trevor's aunt and family while we were there which was fun.  Benton got sick while we were there, but he kept riding rides and having fun!

Become a Marketing Pro with these Simple Steps

No matter what size your business is, you can always be thinking about great ways to market it. Many business owners worry about this aspect of their business if they don’t have marketing qualifications. Whilst it can seem daunting when you begin, after a while you will feel like a marketing pro. There are so many marketing techniques for you to try. Here are some of our favourite to help get you started.

Pay per click advertising, or PPC, is a type of marketing you can pay for. Using Google Adwords, it allows you to appear at the top of Google searches whenever a relevant term is searched for. This is great news because most people who Google something will end up clicking on the first few links. If your web page is boosted to the top of the results, it makes it much more likely for new clients to find you. PPC can be tricky if you don’t know how to do it properly. If this is the case, it can often end up costing you a lot of money and gaining few results. Hiring an expert to manage your PPC campaigns is often a good route to take if you have little experience in this field. You will find that pay per click management pricing is very reasonable for the service offered.

Social Media

Most businesses rave about social media. It is a great way to connect with new and existing customers and partners. There are many different social media networks. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram and Pinterest are just a few of the available ones. Some businesses choose to use all of them, whilst others only use a handful. You should pick and choose the ones that you think speak to your core demographic, and then take the time to build up your accounts. For the most part, using social media is free, however on platforms like Twitter and Facebook, you can pay for promoted posts.

Everyone uses email these days, and it is one of the best ways for companies to market their latest services and newest products. Many email marketing tools allow you to create stylish emails from drag-and-drop templates. That means you don’t need any coding experience to create a beautiful newsletter. Programs like Mail Chimp even let you use them for free until your mailing list reaches a certain size.

Press Releases

Press releases are great ways of showing the world your newest developments. They allow you to reach people who may not have heard of you yet, hence creating new customers. If your business has some really exciting news, it is worth emailing relevant journalists to let them know. You never know, your press release might be picked up by the right person and made to go viral. Imagine all that exposure with such little effort.

Organic Search

Getting traffic to your website through organic search is one of the best ways to boost your business. Search engine optimisation, or SEO, is the method of creating search engine friendly web pages which will appeal to readers. If you have a great content writer who knows the principles of SEO, they can help to push you to the top of Google’s rankings.

Ry is growing so fast

I'm in love with being a mom!! It's the best gig and I have the best baby! He is so happy all the time, loves laughing, loves talking his baby talk, playing, singing being sung to, dancing and being sooooo busy! This boy is into everything! It's so fun though, I can see his mind just flowing with thoughts, some I wish he wouldn't have because they seem dangerous lol. He keeps me on my toes And there's never a dull moment! Yesterday when we were shopping I was like Ry these shoes are $8 eight, eight eight and he was like eight, eight eight I'm like holy cow did you just say eight and he confirms "eight" lol its moments like these that are so special. *random fact 8 is my favorite number ;0) then the moments he falls asleep in my arms and smiles when he sees me, and so many other moments!! It's so awesome! Then today he took a step he completely let go and walked one step! I was like ohhh man time is flying by way to fast! I'm thankful for every minute and so grateful to my hubby so I get every minute with him! It's wonderful!!!

Feeling like the happiest little mama that ever lived

So many things swirling around my head

No not literally!! Lol not like a sworm of flies or anything just a want and need to write more frequently. So why don't I? You may be wondering well Im not sure people find what I write interesting. Now that's not me fishing for compliments or anything it's just a sincere feeling. I love writing though and so I will continue to Do so and in turn hope that this blog eventually becomes more popular and with popularity, I will become more diligent and with that more space inside my Mind free because if I don't write it out sometimes it fills up too much space and I forget to do things! Lol this is the kind of thing I tell my husband when I "forget" where the iron is! Lol. So what kind of thing do you find interesting to read about?? I would love to know and I would love to hear your comments! I love making people laugh, I live for it, I love writing about daily things such as Ry, what I might have done that day, beauty tips and products and just about anything else that pops into my mind so just feel free to suggest anything because I wanna hear it!!

Hope this finds you all happy!

With a tiny bit of space free in my mind and gratitude there are no flies around...

Episode Studies by Clayton Barr

Tron: Blackout Tron
TV episode of Tron: Uprising
Written by: Edward Kitsis & Adam Horowitz
Directed by: Charlie Bean
Original air date: June 21, 2012

Tron sends Beck to destroy an energy drill in use by General Tessler to drain power from Argon City.

Read the episode synopsis at the Tron Wiki

Characters appearing in this episode

Beck (aka the Renegade)

Bodhi (mentioned only, deceased)

General Tessler

Didja Notice?

In this episode, blackouts occur in Argon City due to General Tessler's use of the Drill to drill raw energy from underneath the city. This seems to imply that Argon City is powered by this underground energy. Is this the case for all cities in the system?

This episode introduces Bartik and Hopper, who join Paige's task force to stop the Renegade. They appear in several later episodes of Tron: Uprising and in "Solar Sailer Prisoners" and at the attack on the 0001001 Club in Legacy. Bartik is likely named for computer programmer Jean Bartik (1924-2011), one of the original programmers of the ENIAC computer for the U.S. Army in the 1940s. Hopper is likely named for Rear Admiral Grace Hopper (1906-1992) involved with the development of the UNIVAC computer and the COBOL programming language.

At 21:08 in the episode, a political slogan, "Perfection is Freedom" is displayed at General Tessler's rally.

Twists and Keeping Damage to a Minimum

After 12 years of styling Syd's hair, I've gotten pretty good at minimizing damage as much as possible. However, now that Syd is taking over a lot of the detangling, we're starting to see some damage at the ends. We're definitely going to have to trim the ends very soon to get rid of all that damage.

But that's ok!

We all know that learning to properly care for curly hair takes time. Be careful not to expect too much from your child as she learns to take care of her own hair...I know I did my fair share of damage over the years. But with patience and practice, I have learned several little tips and tricks that help keep damage to a minimum.

This post is going to focus on one of those tips...and here it is: Since we weren't shampooing between styles, we moved from one style to another without a comb touching Syd's hair!

When I took down Syd's latest cornrow style, I removed the cornrows on 1/4 of her hair at a time. After I removed those cornrows, I put that quarter of her hair into one big loose braid to keep it detangled. When I had removed the entire style, we were left with this:

We then focused on one of those sections at a time. I tied three of the braids up out of the way and started with the back left section. I removed that braid and used my fingers to gently detangle the entire section. Remember, I braided this hair immediately after removing the cornrows, so there really weren't any tangles. The best way to keep detangling easy is to prevent the tangles in the first place. This finger detangling was done mostly to remove the loose strands that were shed while her hair had been in the last style.

I decided to start in the very back of Syd's hair, so I used my fingers to separate out a section of hair at Syd's nape. I just clipped the rest up and out of the way for a minute.

Since I like to do twists on hair that is slightly damp, I misted this piece of hair with plain water in a spray bottle. I then added just a bit of styling product, ran my fingers through her hair to distribute the product evenly, and started twisting.

In order to make sure the twists last as long as possible, it's important to twist as tightly as possible. It's tempting to rush it and not twist as tight, but the twists loosen up on their own. If you don't start off with a very tight twist, you will end up with very loose twists that will quickly become frizzy. In the two pictures below, you can see how tightly I twisted this section of hair, and then how it loosened up the minute I let go.

The twist while I was holding it

See how it got looser after I let go? It will loosen/plump up even more as it dries completely.
And then I repeated that process 33 more times as I moved through the rest of her hair.

In the end, we have a head full of great looking twists and my fingers were the only tools used. No brush, no comb, no damage. =)

Simple Cornrow Style: Half Up

It's been a while since I've done an actual style post. This is mostly because we've fallen back into our simple twists/twist out/repeat routine lately. I did finally find the time and motivation to do some cornrows, but somehow ended up doing one of the simplest cornrow styles in our aresenal.

One of these days, I'll get my creative juices flowing again! But until then, here's a simple one for ya:

The instructions for this style are probably explained simply by looking at the pictures. I first cornrowed the back half straight down. I then cornrowed the top half toward the center of her head and joined them with an ouchless band.

We were able to jazz this style up a bit by adding different colored flowers and other accessories to the pony on top each day.

*Sidenote: See how the ends of her cornrows are looking straight instead of curling up? That means a trim is long overdue. That will be happening very soon!

CARA B Naturally Review and Giveaway!

CARA B Naturally is a line of all natural, affordable, skin and hair care products for ethnic babies and kids that is now available in Target and CVS!

Syd and I have tried CARA B Naturally products and had wonderful results. Here's a quick breakdown of the products we have tried and what we thought of them.

Shampoo/Body Wash: This product is somewhat thinner than our usual shampoos, but it leaves hair feeling clean. Since it is so thin and Syd and I both have such thick hair, we have used it more as a body wash than as a shampoo. It leaves skin feeling clean, but not dried out. Wonderful Product!

Body Lotion: This is a light lotion that left our skin moisturized without feeling greasy.

Leave-In Conditioner/Daily Moisturizer: This leave-in does what it says it will do. I applied it to Syd's hair after using the CARA B Naturally shampoo and they worked very well together. Her hair was soft and moisturized. I've also used this product along with a few different styling products and it has worked well with all of them.

Moisturizing Hair Mist: This mist kept Syd's mini twists feeling great for over 3 weeks. A quick spray in the morning and she was set. Quick and easy to apply and most definitely effective!

And the great news is that CARA B Naturally has just launched in CVS stores across the country! Tweeny Hair and CARA B Naturally have put together a fun I-spy style contest for readers. The winner of this contest will receive a $25 Gift Certificate to CVS! Check out all of the fun ways to enter on the Rafflecopter form below!

Good Luck!

Happy Birthday Syd!!!

12 years ago today, I met the single most amazing person I've ever encountered.

To celebrate this special day, I'm going to share a little bit about her birth and why I have no doubt that she's going to go on to do big things. (Basically, I'm gonna brag about my baby and tell the world why she's amazing.)

The deck was stacked against Syd from the very beginning. While I was pregnant, the tests showed that my baby would have Down's Syndrome. I was surrounded by people telling me that abortion was the best option for a situation like this. I didn't know how I was going to handle raising a special needs child, but I did know that I wasn't going to kill my baby just because she wasn't "perfect" by the world's standards. I loved her, no matter what.

Fast forward to when I was 37 weeks pregnant and I went to the doctor for a routine test. The results didn't come out right, so they sent me to the hospital to have the same non-stress test done again with better equipment. In the middle of that test, my baby's heart inexplicably stopped beating.

An emergency c-section was done immediately and I officially became a mommy. I truly believe that nothing but the hand of God had me hooked up to heart monitors at the exact moment her heart quit beating. She is alive today because of the unexpected chain of events stemming from that bad test result at the doctor's office.

I was mentally prepared to be handed a baby who had Down's Syndrome that day. Instead, I was handed a baby who had no such condition. Were the test results wrong? Did God heal my baby? I don't know, and I'm not sure that it matters. What does matter is that four days after she was born, I took my perfect little baby girl home.

It is my belief that the Lord brought Syd through that wild pregnancy and delivery completely unscathed for a reason. He has a plan for her life that is bigger than I could ever imagine.

Syd has spent the last 12 years growing into a remarkable young lady. She is an honor roll student who has been in accelerated classes since first grade. She strives to do the right thing, is dependable, and has very strong morals. She spent over a week helping others in the harsh conditions of a 3rd world country, and she started saving money the moment we got home so she can go back again. She has a compassionate heart and even at this young age, her faith is evident in her daily life. Not only does she WANT to make a difference in people's lives, she KNOWS that she will do so.

Some people say that the teenage years are something for parents to dread. I don't feel that way. I am looking forward to those years because with a kid like this, how could the teen years be anything other than incredible?

Happy Birthday, Sydney.

Wordless Wednesday: Back When She Could Fit

Twists and Cornrows to the Side

This style was pretty easy to do. First, I made a part that was slightly off-center. Then I added a handful of cornrows that went from her ear up to the part. There wasn't much rhyme or reason as to where the cornrow parts were made...I just started parting. The rest of her hair was then put into about 30 two strand twists.

Syd only wore her hair down like this once. The rest of the time, she wore the twists pulled into a low side ponytail (and sometimes wore a huge flower with it).

Excuse the black box. Her last name is on this shirt and we had to block that out. :)

If you 've been following us for any length of time, you can probably guess what happened next. After a couple days of the twists being in a side pony, the twists became a twist out. The twist out was then pulled into the same side ponytail.

We may have to revisit this style again soon. It is so versatile, being worn 3 different ways in one week. And if we change the size and parts of the cornrows, it will again have a completely different look!

Twisted Code Review Process

All commits to Twisted's trunk must follow this review process. The only exception is for the [source:trunk/doc/fun/Twisted.Quotes Twisted Quotes] file. There are no other exceptions!

Both authors and reviewers should be intimately familiar with all requirements on this page.

Authors: Things your branch or patch must contain

  • Code which follows the coding standard.
  • 100% unit test coverage for all modified and new code (even if it didn't have tests before)
  • 100% API docstring coverage for all modified and new code (even if it didn't have docs before)
  • No backwards-incompatible changes. Please also be sparing when adding 'public' names to the API, as they must be supported in the future. If it can start with an underscore and not be exposed publicly, it probably should.
  • Appropriate new or modified "End User" guide documentation (in the form of Lore-formatted xhtml files in the [source:trunk/doc doc/] directory)
  • A file in all relevant "topfiles" directories describing changes which affect users (See below)

Authors: How to get your change reviewed

  • There must be a bug in the Twisted bug tracker describing the desired outcome (See below).
    • Note: For security issues, see Security.
  • Add the "review" keyword to the ticket.
  • Remove the owner field by selecting the blank option next to "Assign to".
    • Alternatively, assign it to someone who has already agreed to review it.
  • Write a comment with any relevant information for the reviewer.

Reviewers: How to review a change

  • Be familiar with the Twisted codebase, coding standard, and these review requirements.
  • Don't be the author of the change (See below).
  • Assign the ticket to yourself.
  • Review the change, and write a detailed comment about all potential improvements to the branch (See below).
  • Remove the "review" keyword from the ticket.
  • Assign the ticket back to the author.
  • If the change is ready for trunk, indicate so by writing "please merge" or "+1".
    • Alternatively, if the author does not have commit access to trunk, merge the change for them.

Authors: How to merge the change to trunk

  • Merge the change into a checkout of Twisted trunk and commit it. The message must follow this format (See below).
    Merge <branch name>: Brief description
    Author: <names>
    Reviewer: <names>
    Fixes: #<ticket number>
    Long description (as long as you wish)
  • After the change is merged and the buildbots have completed running, delete the branch.

News files

It is now up to the authors of individual changes to write high-level descriptions for their changes. These descriptions will be aggregated into the release notes distributed with Twisted releases. If we just let each author add to the NEWS files on every commit, though, we would run into lots of spurious conflicts. To avoid this, we have come up with a scheme involving separate files for each change.

Changes must be accompanied by an entry in at least one topfiles directory. There are topfiles directories for each subproject (eg. [trunk/twisted/names/topfiles], [trunk/twisted/words/topfiles]), and one root directory ([trunk/twisted/topfiles]) for core Twisted changes. If a change affects multiple areas of Twisted, then each affected area can have a topfiles entry to detail the relevant changes. An entry must be a file named <ticket number>.<change type>. You should replace <ticket number> with the ticket number which is being resolved by the change (if multiple tickets are resolved, multiple files with the same contents should be added). <change type> is replaced by one of the following literal strings:

  • feature - for tickets which are adding a new feature.
  • bugfix - for tickets which are fixing a bug.
  • doc - for tickets primarily about fixing or improving documentation (any variety).
  • removal - for tickets which are deprecating something or removing something which was already deprecated.
  • misc - for tickets which are very minor and not worth summarizing outside of the svn changelog. These should be empty (their contents will be ignored).

The entry should contain a high-level description of the change suitable for end users. Generally, the grammatical subject of the sentence should be a Python object, and the verb should be something that the object does, prefixed with "now". Here's are some examples:

twisted.protocols.amp now raises InvalidSignature when bad arguments are passed to Command.makeArguments
The new module twisted.internet.endpoints provides an interface for specifying address families separately from socket types.

twisted.trial.util.findObject is now deprecated.
twisted.conch.insults.colors is now deprecated in favor of twisted.conch.insults.helper.
twisted.runner.procmon.ProcessMonitor's active, consistency, and consistencyDelay attributes are now deprecated.

twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorTime.cancelCallLater, deprecated since Twisted 2.5, has been removed.

You don't need to worry about newlines in the file; the contents will be rewrapped when added to the NEWS files.

See for the svn pre-commit hook which enforces this policy.

Filing bugs and writing review requests

Tickets should be described well enough that the change is already justified and the new code should be easy enough to read that further explanations aren't necessary to understand it, but sometimes diffs themselves can be more difficult to read than either the old or new state of the code, so comments like the implementation of foo moved from to can sometimes make a reviewer's job easier.

Who can review?

Changes must be reviewed by a developer other than the author of the changes. If changes are paired on, a third party must review them. If changes constitute the work of several people who worked independently, a non-author must review them.

A reviewer need not necessarily be familiar with the specific area of Twisted being changed, but he or she should feel confident in his or her abilities to spot problems in the change.

How to be a good reviewer

First, make sure all of the obvious things are accounted for. Check the "Things your branch or patch must contain" list above, and make sure each point applies to the branch. Use pyflakes to check the basic quality of the code. The following command will check all the files modified and added by a branch merge:

svn status | grep '^\M\|^A' | cut -c 8- | xargs pyflakes

A reviewer may reject a change for various reasons, many of which are hard to quantify. Basically, use your best judgement, and don't be afraid to point out problems which don't fit into the list of branch requirements laid out in this document.

Here are some extra things to consider while reviewing a change:

  • Is the code written in a straightforward manner which will allow it to be easily maintained in the future, possibly by a developer other than the author?
  • If it introduces a new feature, is that feature generally useful and have its long term implications been considered and accounted for?
    • Will it result in confusion to application developers?
    • Does it encourage application code using it to be well factored and easily testable?
    • Is it similar to any existing feature offered by Twisted, such that it might make sense as an extension or modification to some other piece of code, rather than an entirely new functional unit?
  • Does it require new documentation and examples?

When you're done with the review, always say what the next step should be: for example, if the author is a committer, can they commit after making a few minor fixes? If your review feedback is more substantial, should they re-submit for another review?

If you are officially "doing a review" - in other words, removing the review keyword - please make sure you do a complete review and look for all of these things, so that the author has as much feedback as possible to work with while their ticket is out of the review state. If you don't have time to do a complete review, and you just notice one or two things about the ticket, just make a comment to help the future reviewer, and don't remove the review keyword, so another reviewer might have a look. For example, say, "I just checked for a news file and I noticed there wasn't one", or, "I saw some trailing whitespace in these methods". If you remove the review keyword, you may substantially increase the amount of time that the author has to wait for a real, comprehensive review, which is very frustrating.

The commit message

Several tools exist which parse commit messages to trunk, so the Author, Reviewer, and Fixes lines should conform to this format exactly. Multiple Fixes lines will close multiple tickets. Refs may also be used to attach the commit message to another ticket which is not being closed. The commit message should also describe the change being made in a modest amount of detail.

Reverting a change

If a change set somehow introduces a test suite regression or is otherwise found to be undesirable, it is to be reverted. Any developer may revert a commit which introduces a test suite regression on a supported platform. The revert message should be as explicit as possible. If it's a failure, put the message of the error in the commit message, possibly with the identifier of the buildbot slave. If there are too many failures, it can be put in the tracker, with a reference in the message. Use the "Reopens" tag to automatically reopen the ticket:

Revert r<revision number>: Brief description

A description of the problem, or a traceback if pertinent

Reopens: #<ticket number>

Reverted branches are to be reviewed again before being merged.

Two major closures this weekend

We've got TWO major closures scheduled for this weekend. These posts typically publish much sooner - our apologies for the delay. We'll get into why in a moment. First, the closures:

I-10 at Fair Oaks Parkway
Starting Friday (8 September) at 9 p.m. all main lanes of I-10 will close at Fair Oaks Parkway while RELMCo, Inc., demolishes the old Fair Oaks Parkway overpass bridge. We'll have everything opened up by 5 a.m. Monday (11 September).
This closure will follow the same structure we've used in previous closures, with one-way traffic through the intersection and cross traffic on the bridge shut down. While we've been able to keep traffic moving pretty well during these closures drivers should still expect delays. The biggest impacts, as the last few runs of this closure, will be on those using Fair Oaks Parkway or Tarpon Drive - if that's where you will be driving you may want to find some alternate routes.
Some bridge support structures for the new Fair Oaks Pkwy
overpass have already been built.
Previous closures finished fairly quickly - way ahead of projected schedules. Do not expect that this weekend. Bridge demolition requires quite a bit of work taking a lot of extra time. We have to protect the road surface under the bridge we're tearing out, which is usually done by dumping piles of dirt or sand to form a bed. After the bridge is cut and broken apart the chunks of steel and concrete to a disposal site. Once the old bridge is completely cleared away the dirt cushion will scooped up and swept to return the main lanes of I-10 to action.
If that sounds like it's really involved, well, it is.
With the old bridge out of the way RELMCo will continue to build up the support structure for the new bridge, which will connect Tarpon Drive and Fair Oaks Parkway directly. Some of those supports are already in place.
The next major closure of I-10 at this location will come when RELMCo is ready to set bridge beams across the highway. That, too, will require a weekend for work; we'll have it posted when scheduled.

I-35 at New Braunfels Avenue
Starting Friday (8 September) at 9 p.m. all main lanes of I-35 will close at New Braunfels Avenue near Fort Sam Houston while CRG demolishes the old New Braunfels Avenue overpass bridge. We'll have everything opened up by 5 a.m. Monday (11 September). We had this closure planned for August but were forced to postpone work for a number of reasons.
This is a closure we've done in the past - the last time we interrupted work to accommodate traffic to the AT&T Center during the San Antonio Spurs' playoff run - and it's gone fairly well. To be clear: this one will hang up traffic quite a bit. I-35 is one of the most-traveled roads in all San Antonio with more than 170,000 daily trips through this corridor on average. We'll have cross traffic at New Braunfels Avenue closed as we've done in the past. We'll have the same detours in place, with traffic crossing I-35 being pushed to Walters Street to reach its destination.
Like the demolition of the Fair Oaks Parkway bridge, this closure should last the entire weekend. CRG will lay down a dirt bed before breaking apart the old bridge. Once the scraps are hauled out and the dirt bed is swept up and cleaned traffic will be running again as normal.
The big difference at this location is what traffic will do when things are finished Monday morning. Traffic at Fair Oaks Parkway is already using a temporary solution of the turnaround bridge as a normal bridge. At New Braunfels Avenue traffic will be shifted onto the new bridge half that's being finished up over the weekend.
Like the I-10 work, we should still have a few full closures ahead to set bridge beams, deck panels and to pour concrete. Most of those (at least not setting bridge beams) will be done overnight when needed. Those will be posted in our weekly closures report.

Why not post sooner?
Both closures had been planned for August. We even got to do the first of what was to be consecutive weekends with closures on I-10. Both closures were postponed for a few reasons, then got pushed again when Texas was hit by Hurricane Harvey. There was potential of pushing these closures again due to traffic issues associated with Harvey relief efforts, but traffic volumes have begun to decrease for that work and our administrative team agreed the time to move forward with our projects has come.
That decision was made today - we didn't want to post again on these closures with the chance they'd be pushed back. Again.

March 2017 Goals Post

Although I had said I would take an internet break for two complete weeks, I'm back.

Because I love this hop.

So, I'm here for a tiny moment today - trying to keep it short.

My main goal last month was to get healthy.

Just mostly recovered from my first surgery (gallbladder removal), I had a surprise phone call from my gynecologist. A cancellation freed up a surgery spot on March 20th. So, less than a month after my gallbladder was removed, I had four fibroids, several cysts, my uterus, and my fallopian tubes all removed. They left my ovaries so I wouldn't go into medical menopause. Thanks to all the amazing prayers, encouragement, and the anesthesiolist's understanding of my body's inability to break down drugs quickly, I had a fairly quick first and second day recovery. I still have a long ways to go, but I feel much stronger than I expected to at this point.

So my main goal for April is still to get completely healed from both surgeries.

My second goal is to do whatever I can to help and encourage my eldest daughter to make a great decision for her college years and her future. At this moment, she is considering bio-engineering as a major. Six universities have accepted her and most have offered merit scholarships. It's her turn to make a decision and it feels huge.

My third goal is to get a bunch of writing done on my main WIP in April. I'm not going to name a word count at this point, but I'm going to go for it.

Some blessings this last month have been:

The Hero Lost Anthology Authors rock. I have never worked with a group of people to promote a book before this and they are wonderful!

My short story "Here There Be Dragons" made it into the Book Dreams Anthology

My short story "New Answers" was published at The Crawl Space Journal.
A new drabble that I wrote this year "Worries in the Sand" was published at A Story in 100 Words.
Another new drabble "I Didn't Know His Name" was published at The Drabble.
"My Hope" at Story 100.
(At the end of May, I'll do a mini-report back about Duotrope - where I've been finding short story markets.)

I finally started up a newsletter that I think will work.

I've been using Hootsuite and I like it. I prepped two weeks worth of stuff before I went in for surgery.

Good luck to your daughter. How wonderful to have such a career goal and the opportunities/choices to go after it. :)

What a blessing it's all come together and you are recovering. That's a lot in a short period.
Six acceptances and most with scholarships? Good for your daughter!

Glad the recovery is going well! That's so much to go through so close together.

Congratulation on the publications!! That's exciting. Looking forward to hearing about Duotrope. I've heard about it, but I don't know much.

Just take it slow and let the recovery happen.

That's wonderful news for your daughter. She has so many options now.

Wow! You had a really rough month. Sorry to hear about all the surgery and such. I hope you heal up and feel as good as possible soon!

I'm glad to hear your surgery went well. Take your time. I had 4 C-sections and came out of them swinging right back into action. But when I had an emergency operation similar to yours, it took much longer to recover. The college decision is huge so I wish your daughter well in picking the right fit for her. Congrats on all the writing success.

It's hard to ignore hops that are interesting, so I understand how you returned! Enjoy.
