Ahmed Nazif (Arabic: أحمد نظيف, Egyptian Arabic pronunciation: [ˈæħmæd nɑˈzˤiːf]; born 8 July 1952) served as the Prime Minister of Egypt from 14 July 2004 to 29 January 2011, when his cabinet was dismissed by President Hosni Mubarak in light of a popular uprising that led to the Egyptian Revolution of 2011. Nazif was Acting President of Egypt from 5 March to 15 April 2010, when President Mubarak delegated his authorities to Nazif while undergoing surgery in Germany.
Nazif was born in Cairo. President Hosni Mubarak invited him to form the new government on 9 July 2004. Prime Minister Nazif was sworn in together with fourteen new cabinet ministers on 14 July 2004. He received immediate parliamentary backing through a formal vote of confidence. He was the youngest serving prime minister of Egypt since the founding of the Republic and the second youngest prime minister in the history of modern Egypt. His cabinet was known to be mainly composed of technocrats and well educated neo-liberals.
Having come to power replacing outgoing Prime Minister Atef Obeid who resigned at an emergency cabinet meeting, prompting the collapse of the four-year-old 34-member cabinet, pressure to undergo reforms was ripe. Nazif had served as the Minister for Communications and Information Technology in the Obeid Government. Before that, Nazif was a professor in the Faculty of Engineering, Cairo University.
However, following the Egyptian Revolution, President Mubarak announced in his first appearance since the protests began that he had asked Nazif and his government to resign, effectively sacking one of the modern Republic's longest-serving governments. Ahmed Shafik, who had been Minister of Civil Aviation, was appointed to replace Nazif as Prime Minister on 29 January 2011. He has been held in custody since April 10, 2011, following the Egyptian revolution of 2011 that incarcerated all of the governing elite, on allegations of wasting public money, corruption and allowing others to profit, pending a court trial. On May 4, 2016, a final verdict by the highest court of appeal in Egypt acquitted Nazif of all charges of corruption.
During his tenure as the first Minister for Communications and Information Technology he was credited with establishing Egypt's free internet connectivity plan as well as improving public access to computers through low-price computers sold by private producers through the Egyptian Telecommunications Company (Telecom Egypt), which falls under the jurisdiction of the Ministry for Communications and Information Technology. Nazif's successor in the ministry of communications and longtime friend Tarek Kamel has collaborated strongly to enhance the Egyptian role in international IT markets and improve local infrastructure to support Egypt's exponentially growing demand for IT applications in everyday life. Nazif is also credited with helping to found the first computer engineering department in the Faculty of Engineering, Cairo University, leading the National Identity Card project and computerizing it, and establishing the Smart Village. "I love to build and that's where I derive my personal satisfaction" - 2010 and "Outsourcing is nature's way of reversing the brain drain" - 2001 are famous quotes of his. He has received Egypt's First Degree Medal of Sciences and Art.
Graduated from El Nasr Boys' School (EBS) in Alexandria, Egypt in 1969.
B.Sc. from the Faculty of Engineering, Cairo University, majoring in Communication and Electronics.
M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from Cairo University in 1976.
Ph.D. in Computer Engineering at McGill University, Canada in 1983.
Nazif's wife died in 2009.
Nazif resides in a suburban complex with his 2 sons. He is the son of former wealthy sailor who owned a sea shipping company, Mahmoud Nazif. His grandfather Mohammed Bey Nazif was undersecretary of Ministry of Health in the time of King Farouk.
On January 18, 2010, it was officially announced that Nazif will get married to Zeinab Zaki, vice president of Information Technology Industry Development Agency (ITIDA), in February 2010.

I was at an EdCamp this week and a spirited debate broke out in one session about pencil/paper work, writing, handwriting, and a lot of other analog v. digital considerations.
I tend to come down on the side of what I think is going to be most relevant for students in the future. I am torn, though. Sometimes we throw the baby out with the bathwater and sometimes we hang on to anything to preserve tradition. Some things are educational zombies, and they want our braaaaains!
Let’s start with hand-writing study notes. On one hand, The prominent research that suggests that hand-writing notes leads to greater retention and more creative thought processing than typing the same content. I have no reason to doubt this research.
But, does it matter? Will it matter in 2025? 2055? Despite all evidence that handwriting notes leads to better learning, the adults of the 2020s will simply not do it very often in real life. I think you could make a case that most adults don’t even do it much now. In some cases the best evidence will not make a difference, because things are just different now and will be more so in the future. The world has moved on.
I feel like that despite our best efforts, we try to rationalize many things in education because we feel personally they are important, or we don’t fully understand what the next generation will need. In some cases this is impossible.
Put a robust digital learning device into every student’s hands…instead of pretending that we live in a pencil, notebook paper, and ring binder world.
Teaching cursive seems to be the best current example in this debate. We are torn between something people have always learned and something this year’s 4th graders (the class of 2024, mind) may never actually use much or at all in their adult lives. Because many current adults rely on this skill, we assume future adults will. The arguments for cursive tend very often towards nostalgia and outdated assumptions of what is needed in real life (how will they sign their name?). I see these as efforts to justify continuing a practice because we can’t bring ourselves to part with the tradition and rationale of the past. That doesn’t mean students should never learn cursive. Many kids learn calligraphy in art classes–a skill that is likewise unlikely to be important in most students’ lives–but is an artistic expression that some students will embrace and continue to explore even after the lessons are finished. Likewise, cursive can have a similar place as artistic enrichment. I believe there is still a place for cursive in schools, just not necessarily as a cornerstone of teaching writing to 3rd, 4th or 5th graders.
So, how do we decide? Will long division be important to people in the real world? How about states and capitals? Sewing? The Periodic Table? Shakespeare? Cell structure? The Revolutionary War? Keyboarding? What are key cognitive skills or crucial content areas and what are things that are just nice to know? Which are potential scaffolds for future study and which are going to be tomorrow’s detritus?
The lesson in all this, I think, is about learning to really think ahead and not behind. What will they really need in a decade? I don’t think there are easy answers, but I hate the notion of anything being taught, much less fought for, that becomes a zombie practice that has little real relevance in the world of the future.
The big question is how do we determine what to phase out and what to retain? Are the right people making those decisions, and for the right reasons? In many schools and systems nationwide, curriculum decisions are made without the input of people who are versed in current technology, media and future technology trends. We need to approach content and curriculum as one might when pruning a tree. Some things may need to go to help the rest grow.

You really need to be imitated, avoiding copyright laws.
You have some serious talent.
I've watched almost every animation of yours I can find, because they never seem to disappoint. This animation was just as amazing. I liked 8, mainly because you do such a good job of synchronizing sound with animation. 9 made me think of south park, for some reason. 19 because zombies are just awesome, and zombie muffins are even better. But 23 was my most favorite one. I can only imagine what you could do to with a classic story like alice in wonderland. Great job.
I liked it all, for the most part, but 8 and 10 for the win.

A Tinder user stumbled across the profile of a married man whose wife has discovered his secret and absolutely destroyed him with a ruthless character assassination.
For many single people, Tinder has been a godsend and has taken the complicated and often scary world of dating and made it so much simpler. While it may be best known for one night stands, there are also many married couples who owe it all to swiping right.
But as with any online phenomenon, there’s an ugly side to Tinder. Just like Twitter has its trolls, Tinder has its love rats.
It appears that one such scoundrel was spectacularly taken down by his wife when she discovered his profile on the dating app on his phone, as reported by the Mirror.
One Tinder user came across the profile of a 29-year-old Mike and shared with the world the humiliating profile that his wife dreamed up in revenge.
The scorned wife then explains that her husband doesn’t realize she has found the profile and that she is planning to leave him.
She concludes by inviting users to ‘blow me up with hate mail’ and then figuratively drops the mic.
We can only imagine that Mike is in for a bit of a shock the next time he loads up the app. Either that or this is some very strange reverse psychology that Mike himself cooked up to attract women. I suppose they do say that honesty is attractive.
The moral of the story seems to be: if you’re married, don’t use Tinder. And if you can’t manage that then certainly don’t leave your phone lying around.
This isn’t the first time this has happened either. On Valentine’s Day (of all days) a man was messaged by a woman on Tinder and discovered she was engaged via Facebook, so she sent her fiancé a message to let him know.
Why would anyone trying to cheat use something so indiscreet like Tinder?
GlobalWebIndex (GWI) found that nearly 30% of Tinder users are married while another 12% are in some other kind of relationship.

Fixed toolbars are header and footer bars that you lock to the top or bottom of the viewport by adding the data-position="fixed" attribute to the header or footer.
The easiest way to create fixed page elements is to use the CSS position: fixed property. Since mobile browser support for this property has historically been very patchy, older versions of jQuery Mobile dynamically repositioned the fixed toolbars as the user scrolled. This worked, but the effect was somewhat clunky.
Thankfully, browser support has improved these days, and with version 1.1, the jQuery Mobile team have totally reworked fixed toolbars so that they now use position: fixed when possible, resulting in much smoother fixed toolbars. For browsers that don’t support position: fixed, such as Safari in iOS 4.3, the framework falls back to regular statically-positioned toolbars, with the header at the top of the page and the footer at the bottom.
If you want to re-enable the previous dynamically-repositioned fixed toolbars for older browsers — as used by jQuery Mobile 1.0 and earlier — there’s a polyfill available. This can be useful if you use header and/or footer bars in very long pages.
In addition, fixed toolbars now have a range of options and methods that you can use to customize their behaviour. These include the visibleOnPageShow option that controls whether the toolbar appears when the page is initially shown; the tapToggle option for turning the “toggle-on-tap” feature on or off; and the show, hide and toggle methods for programmatically displaying and hiding toolbars.
There’s one other small but important change with fixed toolbars, relating to fullscreen positioning. In jQuery Mobile 1.0, you could put fixed toolbars into a “fullscreen” mode by adding data-fullscreen="true" to the page container. In 1.1, you now need to add this attribute to the individual header and footer toolbar containers instead of the page container.
There are some known issues with position: fixed and Android 2.2/2.3. Check the docs for details.
jQuery Mobile 1.0 used the CSS overflow-scrolling: touch property to improve fixed toolbars in browsers that supported it. Since 1.1 now uses true position: fixed toolbars, the overflow-scrolling: touch code has been removed from the framework. This means that 1.0’s $.mobile.touchOverflowEnabled global option no longer has any effect in 1.1. The option is now deprecated, so you should remove any reference to it from your code.
In jQuery Mobile 1.0, the framework has to scroll to the top of the current page (centre image) before it can transition to the new page (right image).
You can see the difference by viewing the following two pages in a modern mobile browser. For each page, scroll down, then tap the View Transition button to see a “flip” transition in action. Notice that the transitions are quicker and smoother in 1.1, and the scroll to the top of the page is much less noticeable, particularly with mobile browsers.
The exception to this new fade in/out rule is the slide transition, which still uses the old, non-fading method, since it looks a lot better without the fade. If you want to apply a faster version of the slide transition that does incorporate the fade, use slidefade instead of slide.
As of 1.1, fade is now the default transition effect (previously it was slide). Also, due to limitations in older mobile browsers, such as Android 2.x, fade is now the only supported transition type with these browsers. If you specify a different transition, it will fall back to fade when viewed in these older browsers.
Another nice improvement is that transitions are now supported in Firefox (newer versions only).
Flips the current page towards you, bringing the new page in from behind, as if the left edges of the pages were attached to a pole. This is reminiscent of the flip effect in Windows 8’s Metro UI.
Moves the current page into the background, then slides it along to reveal the new page, which then moves into the foreground. This is much like Safari on the iPhone’s effect when switching between tabs.
jQuery Mobile 1.1’s new turn transition (left) and flow transition (right).
The loading spinner graphic has been redesigned so that it’s subtler and easier on the eye. The spinner also has no text by default (previously the word “loading” appeared beneath the spinner).
As with previous versions, you can set the actual loading message text with $.mobile.loadingMessage, and the error message text with $.mobile.pageLoadErrorMessage.
Whether to hide the spinner image (true) or show it (false). Defaults to false.
jQuery Mobile 1.1 has a more flexible, customizable loading graphic.
You can now add the attribute data-mini="true" to any form element to create a slightly smaller version of the element, perfect for placing in toolbars. If you like, you can also use these mini elements in your main page content areas to save space.
This page shows you all these mini form elements next to their full-size counterparts.
You can now add data-mini="true" to any form element (left) to render a miniature version of it (right).
The flip toggle switch has had a makeover between jQuery Mobile 1.0 (left) and 1.1 (right).
Range sliders now fully support the HTML step attribute. This attribute lets you specify the increment when moving the slider (it defaults to 1). For example, adding the attribute step="5" to an <input type="range"> element will make the slider move in steps of 5 when dragged, or when using the spinner control next to the slider (if available).
Previous versions of jQuery Mobile supported the step attribute only when using the keyboard or spinner control to move the slider. Now the step value also kicks in when dragging the slider and when using the numeric input box.
If the user enters a value in the numeric input box next to the slider, jQuery Mobile rounds the value to the nearest step value if necessary.
Add data-highlight="true" to an <input type="range"> slider to add a highlight to the track.
Press the button below to check out these step and highlight improvements to sliders.
By default, jQuery Mobile goes through the markup in your mobile pages and enhances it to create touch-friendly widgets, such as sliders, checkboxes and list views. It also adds click handlers to links, and submit handlers to forms, to enable jQuery Mobile’s Ajax-based navigation system on these elements.
Usually this is what you want to happen. However, sometimes you might be creating your own custom widget, and you don’t want jQuery Mobile to apply its own enhancements to your widget markup.
With previous versions of jQuery Mobile, you could use various tricks such as the page plugin’s keepNative option, the initSelector property of individual plugins, and the data-role="none" attribute to disable enhancement for specific elements or element classes.
As mentioned above, jQuery Mobile automatically adds event handlers to links and forms to load target pages using its Ajax-based navigation system. Previous versions of jQuery Mobile let you disable Ajax handling for a specific link or form by adding the data-ajax="false" attribute to the a or form element.
As with the data-enhance="false" attribute described in the previous section, you also need to set the global option $.mobile.ignoreContentEnabled to true inside a mobileinit event handler for data-ajax="false" to have any effect.
When you tap the first button, jQuery Mobile loads the target page, page2.html, using Ajax, and transitions to the page using the flip transition specified by the button’s data-transition attribute.
The second button isn’t Ajax-enhanced, so when you tap it, the browser loads page2.html in the usual way, bypassing jQuery Mobile’s Ajax navigation system and transition effect.
Various aspects of the default theme, such as padding, margins and colours, have been subtly tweaked to make everything look neater and cleaner.
The ThemeRoller tool now supports jQuery Mobile 1.1, and makes it easy to convert your existing 1.0 themes to 1.1. Just click Import, paste in your 1.0 theme’s CSS, make sure Upgrade to version: 1.1.0 is selected, then click the Import button in the dialog (see screenshot below).
Like version 1.0, jQuery Mobile 1.1 supports jQuery 1.6.4. However, it also works with the latest and greatest version of jQuery, 1.7.1.
jQuery Mobile 1.1 now uses RequireJs’s Asynchronous Module Definition API to allow the various modules in jQuery Mobile to load as required.
Mobile Safari on iOS contains an annoying bug related to user-zoomable pages (pages that don’t have maximum-scale=1 included in their viewport meta tag): When rotating from portrait to landscape, the viewport zooms in too much, and you lose some of the page’s right-hand content. Scott Jehl has come up with a cunning workaround for this, and it’s included in jQuery Mobile 1.1 by default. The workaround also stops iOS zooming in when focusing input and select elements. If required, you can disable this feature by setting calling $.mobile.zoom.disable( true ).
The jQuery Mobile team have added a useful search / sitemap feature to the docs, which makes it easy to find stuff. Naturally, the page uses a jQuery Mobile filterable list view to do the job! Search for any text, and the list view reveals the relevant sections.
jQuery Mobile’s ThemeRoller now lets you upgrade your jQuery Mobile 1.0 themes to 1.1 quickly and easily.
This allows you to turn any div into a popup by adding the attribute data-role="popup" to the div. You can create a button that opens the popup by linking to the popup’s id and adding a data-rel="popup" attribute to the link. Popups are great for small dialogs, login boxes, simple menus, and lots more. Check out this popup demo page.
By adding a data-target attribute to a link, you can tell jQuery Mobile to load the linked page’s content (or partial content) into an existing container in the page, rather than doing a full transition to the linked page. This makes it really easy to create things like slideshows and “pull to refresh” widgets.
The jQuery Mobile team are also working on a download builder. This will allow you to choose exactly which jQuery Mobile functionality — widgets, transitions, and so on — you need for your app. The builder then serves you a custom jQuery Mobile build containing just the code you need, so you can keep your app’s download times to a minimum.
Expect jQuery Mobile 1.2 to launch in a few months’ time. You can find out more about jQuery Mobile’s roadmap on their blog.
Fixed toolbar improvements, including genuine CSS position: fixed toolbars; a polyfill for the older fixed toolbar style; new toolbar options and methods; changes to fullscreen toolbars; and the deprecated touchOverflow feature.
Improvements to page transitions, including smoother, faster transitions; a change to the default transition; Firefox support; and two new transitions: turn and flow.
An enhanced loading spinner, with a new design and a range of options that let you customize the spinner’s appearance.
The data-mini="true" attribute for creating miniature versions of form controls.
Better-looking flip toggle switches. The new switches have a cleaner, more compact look.
Improvements to range sliders, including full support for the step attribute and a new data-highlight attribute.
Preventing whole groups of elements from being enhanced by using the data-enhance="false" and data-ajax="false" attributes.
Various other improvements, including a cleaner theme; the ability to upgrade themes with ThemeRoller; jQuery 1.7.1 support; AMD module support; iOS zoom fixes when changing orientations; and new searchable online docs.
jQuery Mobile 1.2: What new features to expect in the upcoming 1.2 release.
I hope you enjoyed reading this article. You can download jQuery Mobile 1.1 now from the jQuery Mobile website, and start building some great mobile websites and apps. Happy coding!

I completely fell in love with the appearance with this book – I thought the idea was fascinating within its originality and the design cover was absolutely stunning. From the get go the pace was fast and snappy, enough information revealed to the reader at certain intervals but some cleverly kept back by Peñaflor in order to keep the reader intrigued. I was hooked from the beginning so it definitely worked on me! The storyline of a famous author using young female teenagers to write a novel is an intriguing idea, and I can’t believe no one has explored this theme of YA before that I’m not aware of already. The characters are all well developed and the writing itself I think is wonderful, however until a few chapters, the change in writing format and characters did confuse me. As a result I had to actually stop a few times to make sure who was who which did disrupt the flow of the storytelling. Otherwise, a really enjoyable read. Nothing like I have ever read before in Young Adult fiction!
I recently received a sampler of Usborne’s YA novels that will be coming out early next year – to say the least, there’s definitely something there for everyone! Six fantastic exerpts from what I’m sure will become incredible tales for everyone to enjoy at their own leisure. My personal favourite was ‘Rosie Loves Jack’, which follows the joys and sorrows of Rosie who has Down Syndrome – we see the world in brilliant colours as Rosie sees it – but it soon becomes clear that all Rosie ever sees is Jack. He has always been there for her, and when we find out that Jack may be taken away due to his sometimes uncontrollable anger issues, it is incredibly moving when they are unable to let each other go. I can tell ‘Rosie and Jack’ will become a staple read; heartwarming, emotional and funny in just the first few pages, I just know that this novel is a must and a true original. Another extract that caught my eye was Orphan Monster Spy by Matt Killeen – despite the off-putting title in my opinion, there was so much action and a gradual progression of the main characters in the twenty pages or so that I read! Great stuff! Other tales included ‘Slay’ by Kim Curran, which was not so much my perfect genre to read, but I’m sure will prove very popular amongst the middle-grade boy area. The dystopian world created in S. M. Wilson’s ‘The Extinction Trials’ seems very much like The Hunger Games in its competitive nature and science-fiction genre, but I am willing to give it a go due to Wilson’s impeccable writing style. Linni Ingemundson sets the scene perfectly in ‘The Unpredictability of Being Human’, as in ‘Theatrical’ by Maggie Harcourt. Overall, I’m very excited about all the novels and I can’t wait for each and every one of them to come out next year!

Former World Champion Viswanathan Anand.
World Chess Champions are players who have won a match or tournament for the World Championship at chess. Both men and women can become champion, but no woman has ever been a challenger for the title. There is, however, a separate championship for women. There are also separate championships for specific age groups.
Before 1886, there was no official championship held, but some players were thought to be pre-eminent. From 1948 on, the World Chess Federation FIDE held the championships. Between 1993 and 2006 there were two world champion titles, the FIDE one and the classical one.
The 2013 World Championship match took place between Anand and Magnus Carlsen (challenger) in Chennai, the capital of Tamil Nadu, where Anand grew up. Usually, world champions had been played on neutral ground. Fischer played Spassky in Iceland; Alekhine played Capablanca in Buenos Aires. The Soviets always played in Moscow. However, sponsorship is needed for these matches, and the decision to accept the Chennai bid was taken by FIDE. The Challenger was victorious winning 3 games and achieving the necessary 6.5 points to win the title at the end of game 10. Magnus Carlsen, 22 and from Norway is therefore the current World Chess Champion.
These players are included (pre-18th century) on little more than opinion, and (18th century) on the basis of more substantial information. Some authors of important early works on chess are noted.
These players are included on the basis of their winning matches against credible opponents. Champions are numbered from Steinitz onwards, because his match against Zukertort was publicly declared as a world championship and generally accepted.
Long matches, initially best of 24 games.
These knock-out events are separately numbered.
These are matches of the traditional kind, and of 15 or 20 games.
Variously, 12-game classical match format and double-round all-play-all tournament.

Robert Key (Salisbury) (Con): Further to that point of order, Mr. Speaker. May I remind you that the very first recorded petition to Parliament came from my constituency? It was dropped from a horse and found on Salisbury plain. It was eventually brought to the House of Commons, where it was considered by the House-and burnt.

We invite dialogue as a body as long as it is respectful and open as we all are on a journey.
We can’t work our way to salvation. This is the principle behind most verses talking of works in the bible. But equally there is a place for adopting the father and heavens values once we are saved so we do not move to hyper grace theology.
MATURITY IS STILL A JOURNEY OF OVERCOMING THE SON OF MAN STRAND OF DNA until we learn how to govern (not visit or reside) from eternity (but it is done from rest and mandates so doesn’t become a burden). See our page on ages you can operate from in the big picture section.
Sonship is a gift of grace based on faith in Jesus’ work for us on the cross. But the level of maturity as a son is still a journey. This is Relationship. The finished work does not mean everything is an illusion including the body. Jesus came back in a physical resurrected body.
New age law of attraction talks about magnet theory that we attract the frequency (physical manifestations of what we omit by action or thoughts). I see in heavens higher realms it is about flow out from the godhead (through us) not attracting to us on our own. We are always benched with father or Jesus (never alone as Gods).
Once we have awareness of being a king taking responsibility , then we have encounters into experience of Jesus’ death, burial, resurrection, ascension back to the Father and rule from His throne. We become co-workers and co-rulers. This is Responsibility.
“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10. We were created to do this kind of work.
This kind of work flows from us. It comes from the new life that is within us. James wrote of this kind of work, “Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.” James 2:17.
Living faith results in living works. Living works are a result of our faith working through love. Living works flow out from the love of God with us. They flow out in love towards our fellow men.
It is dead works that we are to avoid, i.e., RELIGIOUS PROTOCOL (doing something over and over outside of active relationship).
Dead works are evil and flow from death. Living works are good and flow from life. WE ARE created in Christ Jesus unto good works. Let us choose to walk in them.
Kings always rule even though it is in rest and peace it is not resting as in doing nothing.
When Jesus sat down on the throne He didn’t do so as a time to sit and rest. He sat down on the throne to begin the work of reigning. Jesus’ work on the cross brought Him position. From that position He does the work of reigning. We share His throne so that we can share His reign.
Reigning is work. We co-work with Him in His reign. It is a co-reigning. It is a reigning out of Relationship. It is also work.
There is a balance to be found in this matter of works. It is a balance between what is His work and what is our work. We cannot share in His work of saving us. Any attempt to do so is a dead work. We can share in His work of saving others. This is a living work. It is a kingly work of ruling. We are co-workers, co-ruling, seated on a shared throne for the shared purpose of saving others. This is kingship.
the alignment is out of order of the body soul and spirit outside of governing permanently from eternity. Jesus came back in a physical body and so it is more than changing mindset. Outside of eternity the strand of DNA from our bloodline (son of man nature of Christ) can still have a dominating effect.
We are Gates we know from scripture so our body is a precious vehicle to mandate angels from . Otherwise it is all about meditation to enlighten that can become new age . We must release perfection as a king . Not meditate like a Buddhist .
Habitating eternity is the only way to escape full decay. Eternity is out of time and so we have 2 NOWS NOT JUST THE ONE. They will merge but understanding the difference of being out of time is important.
This verse warns about not believing in the body as an illusion. If Jesus had a physical body so do we.
See we are moving from sin consciousness to Christ consciousness though. Courts were always meant to show us we were innocent not sinners.
Ages help understand the dichotomy.

Your feedback is important! So please feel free to ask questions and let me know your thoughts. Once in a while, someone enquires how to knit/purl the double-decrease stitches. Many stitches like these are known by various names and use slightly different techniques. “The Principles of Knitting” by June Hemmons Hiatt has been my preferred method. Surprisingly, my online search has found zero videos of her s2pp2 method. But now, this video by Laura Nelken is my new favourite! And maybe yours, too?
To clear up any confusion, I’ll (finally, sorry for the wait) be sharing more posts featuring favourite knitting instructional videos used for making my heart-shaped designs. Please let me know if you find this helpful.
Let’s begin with the s2kp2 (aka s2kp, cdd)… s2pp2 (aka pcdd)… and B&T.

Another month, another show with wiiings…!
Energy beverage drink Red Bull currently sponsors a monthly music series in several cities called Red Bull Sound Select that brings acts, both up-and-coming as well as established, into smaller clubs, for a reduced admission with pre-event RSVP.
For May in Minneapolis/St. Paul, the headliner was Los Angeles-based electronic pop artist, Empress Of who put on a 40 min. performance that showed how much music a single person can create in a live setting.
This installment of the series was curated by local label Totally Gross National Product, who boasts an impressive array of area artists ranging from Poliça to Fog to Solid Gold and others.
One of those label artists was opener RONiiA, who has recently put out an EP called Sisters. The three-piece includes singer Nona Marie Invie (of Dark, Dark, Dark), Mark McGee (of Marijuana Deathsquads) and Fletcher Barnhill (of Joint Custody) and mostly plays sparse and somewhat downbeat electronic music with vivid lyrics.
The middle act was 17yr old newcomer Dizzy Fae, who just has a small handful of songs to her name at this point, but is quickly gaining local buzz. Backed by DJ So Na, Fae brought a dreamy electronica tinged with R&B to such songs as ‘Color Me Bad’ and ‘Complexion’.
Fae impressed many in the crowd (handfuls were there specifically to see her, it was obvious), even Lizzo, who was also present and “feeling good as hell” (though she didn’t perform). Fae closed with the unreleased ‘Aftermath’ and any fans of FKA Twigs or Morcheeba, are advised to check her out.
The stage was then cleared and set for the headliner, Empress Of (aka Lorely Rodriguez), armed with not much more than a simple Akai MPK225 25-key Midi Controller, a laptop, and basic electronic percussion. The 25yr old (who looks half her age) jumped about in a black mid-length skirt and fully buttoned black blouse, which resembled a private school outfit.
Playing much of her debut album, Me (XL Recordings/Terrible), Rodriguez skillfully segued each song into the other, often using clipped versions of parts of more familiar songs by the likes of Beyonce, Prince, Queen, and others, to help transition into the next.
‘Need Myself’, in particular, was a fervent dose of self-dependent lyrics set to a throbbing beat that definitely caught the audience’s ear. There was a pop feel to most of the songs, which were also sonically adventurous and somewhat experimental, with diary-like, confessional lyrics, and all coming from the work of a single person on stage, though sounding like a full band.
‘Woman is a Word’ brought a message of empowerment, ‘Make Up’ was about making (and breaking) your own rules of life, and set closer, ‘How Do You Do It’ brought a potential obsession to life in the form of playful synth cutting through a driving rhythm.
From the crowd’s response, they seemed to gain wings of their own from the performance with most in the front dancing the entire set, and Empress Of is just learning to fly – where things take her is worth following.
The Red Bull Sound Select series continues on June 18 with a more urban vibe, featuring sets from Atlanta’s Lil Yachty as well as Jace (Two-9) and Drelli, with additional DJ sets, curated this time, by Greenroom Magazine.

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and I can’t be more excited. As I write this I’m also cooking my run through recipes for Thanksgiving, i.e. recipes I want to try cooking before the big say to determine if they’re up to snuff or if I need another alternative. But, all this prep work made me realize I also still have to figure out what we will be drinking!
As I’m sure you all know, wine can make or break a nice meal. On a casual night, I may drink milk with my spaghetti, but when I want to impress, the wine must accentuate the food. Pairing food with wine can seem overwhelming, but there are a few tips that make the process easier to manage. Normally, I’m a proponent of grow together go together, but a Thanksgiving spread usually incorporates flavors from a wide array of resources. Normally, you would drink white wine with poultry, but if you also serve roast beef, as many do, you may want to offer a red or a light bodied red to meet in the middle. Alas, there are so many choices, nearly 10,000 varietals not to mention blends and D.O.C’s, to choose from, I’m happy to offer my personal recommendations.
My family treats Thanksgiving like a party. We have appetizers in the morning while watching TV, followed by dinner, and a few hours later we finish with dessert. We tend to have a large group and plan our wine accordingly. Each bottle can pour approximately 5 glasses. If you assume that people will have 2 drinks the first hour and one every hour after that, it will tell you how many drinks you will need to have available.
Example: This year we have only 8 people. We expect guests to arrive around 2 to socialize and to leave around 7 or 8. That means we would potentially be drinking for 6 hours and would need approximately 7 drinks per person. (This is a high estimate of course.) Now, 7 x 8 is 56. No one in our group prefers beer, so we would need (56/5) 11 bottles of wine. Again, this is a high estimate so I don’t mind rounding down, but in this case I would probably just buy an even case as most places give a case discount. Generally 60% of a room will drink red wine and the other 40% will drink white, which means I should have 7 bottles of red and 5 bottles of white. Now that you know how much wine to get for you dinner let’s talk pairings.
I always start a dinner or party with a sparkling wine. If you like the toasty-ness of champagne the Willm line has a few great sparkling wines including their entry level, a cremant, and a cremant rose. These are all made in the traditional champenoise style, with the secondary fermentation happening inside the bottle, providing that yeast like quality complimented by citrus fruit and pear notes.
If you don’t love champagne, but prefer a sweeter crisper flavor look for cava from Spain. I have had a few cava’s that are phenomenal for only $10. They are normally a blend of xerel-lo and macabeo, or other native spanish grapes and you can find them blanc or rose.
If you tend to deep fry your turkey the bubbles from a sparkling wine would pair quite nicely, cutting through the rich, crispy fat and salt.
As I mentioned before, white wine pairs wonderfully with poultry and should go well with most of the flavors on your table. I personally love the fruit and floral balance of Viognier and as most of my table consists of American style foods, a Virginia grown bottling pairs perfectly. My favorites this year would be Jefferson Vineyards or White Hall Vineyards.
If you’re not a fan of Virginia wines I would look for a Viognier from France or perhaps move more into Chardonnay from burgundy or better yet the Loire valley. “What’s the difference,” you might ask? Well, burgundy tends to have that oaky, buttery quality while the Loire Valley tends to have more acidity and minerality.
If you have drinkers with a sweeter palate you can find beautiful Rieslings coming out of the Finger Lakes regions of New York state or even better would be Germany. Their bracing acidity keeps the sweet on the front of the palate but well balanced so as not to overpower the rest of meal.
California or Oregon Pinot Noir are also a fantastic Thanksgiving red wine option they have a lighter body but still key characteristics and just the slightest hint of earthiness to bring interest to the palate.
If you like your Reds a bit Bolder I would highly recommend anything from the cotes du Rhone region this includes chateauneuf de pape and côte rôtie. These Blends can involve any number of 22 varietals but generally they use Grenache Syrah and mourvedre. They are fruit forward with hints of spiciness rich dark fruits and luxury in a bottle. They can be priced anywhere from $10 all the way up to 100 though so Choose Wisely. E guigal is my favorite producer at the moment and they do have Rhone whites as well that are worth trying.
You may think that pink wine is strictly for spring and summer but don’t be confused rozay is great year round particularly with spreads as varied as Thanksgiving dinner. If you have ham on your table I highly recommend you pour a rose because these dry fruit forward bottles pair beautifully with the sweet fattiness of pork. Look for something from Provence or done in a Provence all style which means it will be late dry with Berry notes up front.
Well many people think that sweet wines cause headaches they are a great way to finish a meal just like you would eat your pie after your Thanksgiving feast you should pair ot with a sweet wine as an aperitif. You have a few directions that you can go either with a port which is designed to be drink after a meal and pairs wonderfully with pecans and chocolate or an ice wine which is great with your All-American apple pie or a sweet dessert blend from Alsace or a German region which is beautiful usually with pumpkin pie.
If you do to tend to opt for beer and would prefer that for the evening I recommend going for an ale as opposed to a lager as it’s going to be lighter and not take up as much space in your belly.
With all of this being said you can drink whatever you’d like I often see people making Sangria’s are punches for large groups that have a wine or cider base. Being the purest that I am I tend to not enjoy these mixes as much myself but I can see the draw. Whatever you choose I’m sure it will be great however if you do choose one of my options please let me know below as always I love hearing from you all I love hearing your opinions. I hope you have a fantastic holiday and if you don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, perhaps you can still use these recommendations for Christmas dinner!
A last word to the wise. If you are entertaining a large group, its important to make sure you have enough wine glasses and the right tools to open your bottle.
These Riedel wine glasses are my personal favorite. They are versatile for all types of wine, and stemless, so they are more difficult to break.
I also always recommend a waiter’s helper double-hinged wine key waiter’s helper hinged wine key. These handy openers have a hinge, that gives you extra leverage for those tricky corks, be they stiff and immovable, or old and soft.
And finally, if you’re pouring a bordeaux or even a nice pinot, I recommend having a wine decanter decanter on hand. Not only does it allow the wine to open up so that the flavors truly sing, but it also makes a table look a special level of elegant.

Wp7 is growing, but probably not as fast as android or iOS.
Nokia has surpassed HTC and Samsung to become the largest single manufacturer of Windows Phone handsets, according to market research firm Strategy Analytics. In spite of the fact that Nokia's Lumia lineup was not available throughout the fourth quarter, Strategy Analytics claims that it has taken 33 percent of all Windows Phone sales.
The company also claims that the Windows Phone OS grew by 36 percent over its third quarter performance, with total sales of 2.7 million handsets.
If these numbers are accurate—official figures from Microsoft and Nokia are still lacking—they should be modestly encouraging for the Finnish firm: the Windows Phone market is growing, and Nokia's handsets seem to be desirable.
With new models and new markets likely to be announced at next weeks's Mobile World Congress, Nokia looks well-placed to both expand its slice of the Windows Phone pie, and make the pie itself bigger.

Who am I to preach?
Every day I struggle with thoughts of anger and resentment. Sin is constantly trying to get me to fall into its greedy temptations, and many times I fall.
People often expect the preacher to be better than everyone else, but I’m not. I struggle with grudges and addiction. I am not a man to be placed on a pedestal. I am a man who wants to walk with you not above you.
People think that the preacher must always have great faith, but, to be honest, sometimes I struggle. Yes, I do come back to a remembrance of all the glorious things that have happened in my life that can only be explained by God’s handiwork, but that doesn’t mean I’m strong every day.
I struggle with depression and stress and anxiety. I struggle with people who don’t see things my way.
If you’re looking for the perfect preacher, I’m sorry to disappoint you. I need the grace and forgiveness of Jesus as much or more so than anyone reading this.
I have given my life to Jesus, and though not all of my life looks like that of Jesus it is no less offered to Him.
I have been saved by the grace of Jesus, and I get the chance to start anew each day through the gift of repentance and forgiveness.
That is why I preach. I preach because I know how badly I need a Savior, and I know how great my Savior truly is. I preach because despite my selfishness I still have genuine love for those around me and want to see them receive the same gift I have been given.
I preach because the blood of Jesus didn’t just cover my sins from yesterday, but it covers my sins today and tomorrow and forever. I preach because I want to live foreverin the warmth of the love that is the presence of God in heaven. I preach because I want you to be there with me celebrating that glorious rest.
I preach because there is nothing else in the world I could think of doing. It is like a fire shut up in my bones (Jeremiah 20:9)..
I preach because I understand that nothing good lives in me, but the Holy Spirit in me brings out whatever good there is. I preach because I know that God doesn’t expect me to be perfect – He just wants me to be willing.
I hope you can accept a flawed preacher. I hope you will allow me to walk with you as we both strive to love God, love others, and become more like Jesus. I pray that you preach too (Philemon 6).

‘Trip to Italy’, a film and TV series of recent times, featured in its soundtrack a recurring theme comprising a loud, sustained chord that resolved gradually into a slow expansive melody of great aural beauty. It was so perfectly matched to the action, especially the sedate yachting scenes, that I wondered just how the director came to select such a piece of music. Did he have all this music already in his head, or did he visit a library of background music and ask for a suitable piece? Indeed, how does any director, especially for TV documentaries, select the background music?
Evidently other viewers of ‘Trip to Italy’ had also liked the piece which, thanks to Google, was identified as ‘At Sunset’ from ‘Four Last Songs’ by German composer, Richard Strauss, and composed just before his death at 85. Interestingly, the premiere was given posthumously at the Royal Albert Hall in London on 22 May 1950, sung by Flagstad, accompanied by the Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Wilhelm Furtwängler. The performance was made possible due to the magnanimous effort of the then Maharaja of Mysore, Jayachamarajendra Wadiyar Bahudar. Though he could not be present, the music-loving maharaja put up a $4,800 guarantee for the performance, so that the Four Last Songs could be recorded for his large personal collection – then estimated at around 20,000 records – and the recording then shipped to him in Mysore.

We explain seemingly inexplicable stock-market volatility.
Yahoo Finance answers: Is the stock market corrupt?
No! The stock market isn’t corrupt. It can be irrational, confounding, manic and illusory. But it’s not generally corrupt, at least in terms of traders regularly breaking the law and getting away with it.
Several Yahoo Finance readers asked us about the market’s integrity, on account of recent swings up and down that seem to have no obvious outward cause. Markets have been adjusting to new expectations regarding inflation, which explains much of the upswing in volatility we’ve seen during the last month. Some traders who had invested in exotic securities linked to volatility had to unload their positions, leading to several big selloffs that seemed to come out of nowhere. But this type of activity isn’t corrupt, it’s just arcane, and hard for ordinary investors to understand.
I asked a few of our esteemed Yahoo Finance staffers to take a crack at the question. Is the market corrupt?

As of 2:02PM EDT. Market open.
A second baby reportedly died in a study of Novartis' gene therapy, Zolgensma — sending shares of biotech Regenxbio into free fall Monday. Regenxbio lost nearly 8% by the closing bell.
When Pfizer (NYSE:PFE) won its first approval for cancer drug Ibrance back in February 2015, as a treatment for ER+/HER2- breast cancer, investors were cautiously optimistic. PFE stock holders knew it worked well enough for a narrow subset of breast cancer patients, but expectations for the then-nascent therapy were clearly high.Source: Maciek Lulko (Modified)The drug hasn't disappointed. Since early 2015, Ibrance has been approved for three more indications, with the most recent one taking shape just this month. As it turns out, the treatment has proven effective as a therapy for some of the rare cases where men develop breast cancer.It's a testament to the drug's incredible versatility and efficacy.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading TipsAnd yet, while Ibrance is still in trials looking for even more approved uses, the company's future hardly hinges on what's quickly turning into a blockbuster drug. The market is largely overlooking much of Pfizer's pipeline. Catalysts AheadBank of America Merrill Lynch analyst Jason Gerberry made the point of making the call three weeks ago, upping the brokerage firm's price target on PFE stock from $45 to $48 on upcoming catalysts related to the development of two orphan drugs.Orphan drugs, in short, take aim at underserved areas of the pharmaceutical market. In many cases there are so few cases of a particular illness that no pharmaceutical company bothers developing an option, so when one does, the FDA facilitates an easier path to approval; something is better than nothing.One such drug in Pfizer's pipeline is Vyndaqel.It's not a new drug. In fact, it was first approved back in 2011. Its potential use as a treatment for cardiomyopathy, however, is in the works, and is expected to launch later this year to a receptive caregiver environment.All told, BofA-ML's Gerberry sees peak sales of $2 billion for Vyndaqel.Gerberry also notes that a Pfizer gene therapy candidate -- PF-06939926 for Duchenne muscular dystrophy -- is closer to the endzone than many current and would-be owners of PFE stock may realize. Though in Phase 1 testing right now, should the R&D update slated for the middle of the year go as well as expected, the drugmaker may be able to leap straight to Phase 3 trials and catch up with a similar development from DMD rival Sarepta Therapeutics (NASDAQ:SRPT). * 7 High-Risk Stocks With Big Potential Rewards Again, it's not only another catalyst that could draw a bullish crowd, but it's also a development that could put real revenue growth on the table real soon. The Duchenne muscular dystrophy market could be worth more than $4 billion by 2023.Outside of Gerberry's discussion, Pfizer's Vizimpro was approved earlier this month in Europe as a first-line treatment of locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.Pfizer's still got its R&D, or at least its therapy-acquiring, chops. Heavy HittersThough PF-06939926 and Vyndaqel should prove to be solid bolt-on revenue and profit centers, there's still little doubt that Ibrance will be the company's heavy hitter -- and growth driver -- for the foreseeable future.As of the company's most recent quarterly report, 12-month revenue for the wonder drug reached $4.1 billion, up 32% from the trailing-12-month figure reported a year earlier. New approvals and expanded usage for previously approved indications both helped.The drug, though, has still only scratched the surface. Some analysts are calling for peak revenue of around $8 billion before Ibrance runs out of room to grow and is crimped by rival drugs.Again, that potential is a testament to the drug's flexibility.Ibrance isn't the only heavy-hitter still in growth mode in Pfizer's lineup though. While Enbrel (sold by Pfizer in Europe), Sutent and Celebrex may all be major names with declining revenue, sales of fibromyalgia treatment Lyrica appear to have stabilized around an annual pace of $4.6 billion. Ditto for pneumococcal bacteria treatment Prevnar, which has driven more than $5 billion in sales over the course of the past four reported quarters.In the meantime, Pfizer has started to shine in an area that had quietly gnawed at PFE stock owners… biosimilars. The company has sold $642 million worth of ulcerative colitis, arthritis and plaque psoriasis drug Inflectra/Remsima over the past year, up 50% year-over-year, and suggesting it doesn't have to yield to the pharmaceutical industry's biosimilar powerhouses like Novartis (NYSE:NVS) and Amgen (NASDAQ:AMGN). * 7 Stocks to Buy for Spring Season Growth Pfizer's got five biosimilar drugs in the works, positioning it for deeper penetration of an admittedly-crowded market forecasted to be worth more than a stunning $60 billion by 2024. Bottom Line for PFE StockPFE stock is down 15% from its November peak, never really rebounding with the rest of the market beginning in January. Shares are down 10% just since early April, as the future of U.S. health care has become blurred by political rhetoric. Indeed, Pfizer stock hasn't made net progress since the middle of last year. Clearly there's something wrong with the company.Or, maybe there isn't.Though the headlines and sentiment seem dire, that pessimism is largely rooted in investors' collective view that sees a glass as half-empty rather than half-full. Pfizer's got a quietly potent pipeline, though, with a mix of already-approved and new drugs closer to wrapping up clinical trials than many investors might realize.That may not be enough to stave off headline-driven headwinds in the short run. But, there's a reason a streak of downgrades late last year has been countered this year with a couple of upgrades to an "Outperform'" rating.One of those upgrades came from Credit Suisse, with analyst Vamil Divan noting that patent woes working against aforementioned therapies like Enbrel and Celebrex are starting to abate at the same time new therapies are reaching their full stride.It's just a story not many investors are paying attention to right now.As of this writing, James Brumley did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned companies. You can learn more about James at his site, jamesbrumley.com, or follow him on Twitter, at @jbrumley.

Novartis AG, which this week announced positive interim trial results for its experimental gene therapy for spinal muscular atrophy, on Friday said investigation is underway into whether a second trial death could be related to the treatment. Novartis has filed for U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval of the gene therapy, Zolgensma, and a decision is expected within weeks. The FDA submission was based on findings from a trial of 15 babies treated with Zolgensma.

As I really get settled in to my temporary life in Berlin, I’ve experienced a few things that are a must if you are ever to make it here yourself. Most are free or only cost a few euro and are well worth the time and money – you won’t regret it!
The Berliner Dom (or cathedral) is a must see and I highly suggest you purchase the audio tour version, which is just a headset you rent that accompanies you for only 3 euro extra. The architecture and history of the Dom are amazing and it is in the heart of Berlin’s Museum Island, so it doesn’t have to be your only stop!
Other than the main room of worship, there are multiple other floors you can access along with the crypt in the basement and a 360 degree walkway around the top of the Dom which comes with unbelievable views!
Another must-see in Berlin on Sundays is the flea market in Mauer Park. It has a little bit of everything for everybody with street music, food, and knickknacks galore. I sipped on some fresh squeezed orange juice while walking around, looking at the many interesting things different people had to offer. One of my favorite booths had boxes and boxes full of the neatest doorknobs. Odd find, but I’m sure they would give flare to any welcoming door.
The doorknobs and OJ were just a drop in the bucket of what this flea market had to offer. I went back last week just to watch the people and get more juice!
If you’ve done all these things in one day, odds are you are ready for some food! A Turkish-German staple here in Berlin is the Döner. It comes in many variations depending on where you get it, but always has meat, lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, and an array of sauces, if you so choose. It is comparable to a Greek gyro, but is really in its own category.
I’ve had several since I’ve been here and I haven’t had a bad one yet. I can already tell I’m going to miss them when I’m back home. A few more weeks to go, but I’m loving it here!
Many emotions are coursing through me as I await my first flight, with my final destination in Berlin, Germany for the next 4 weeks; excited for the experiences ahead, sad to say goodbye to my family for a while, and anxious for the traveling process to get underway.
If you are anything like me, you have over-prepared (and probably over-packed) for the next few weeks ahead. There are many things that are essential to overseas travel like your passport, phone, money, etc., but there are also several things that are necessary that might not be as apparent to you unless you ask or are a seasoned world-traveler yourself!
Converters: European electric outlets are different from those in the United States and without your converters (I purchased mine at Bed, Bath & Beyond) you are sure to melt your cords and ruin your possessions. I also purchased a converter specifically for my phone from my cellphone provider.
Camera: This is a more of a personal preference item, but I have considered it a necessity for my trip. My iPhone camera would probably suffice, but I convinced my sister to let me borrow her Nikon D3100 with a 18-70mm lens. I can candidly say that I have no idea what those numbers mean, but I wanted to be able to capture all the things I will see with the best equipment!
Some of the necessities: passport, camera, backpack, jacket!
An Open Mind: This should be a day-to-day necessity, in my opinion, but it is especially needed when traveling to a new place with 10 other people that I have never met. I’m (somewhat) prepared for the culture shock and possible homesickness that I might face after a few days in Germany, but I can also say that I plan to combat that by remembering why I chose to come to Berlin in the first place. I really wanted to be immersed in the city that I have previously learned so much about in my courses at IU and learn about how the city and the culture has changed and how the people have adapted to that change.
I am thoroughly excited to be in Berlin and start this adventure!

Breaking down our main card of the weekend.
Previewing the upcoming weekend’s most interesting card, concentrating on the main event, plus one supporting match which we’ve got the most to say about it.
A repeating cycle of articles on the following schedule.
Without being overly self effacing, we both started this blog in overweight, unfit places – theres a reason we’re writing, not fighting! In any case, we are both trying to chance this and our adventures in losing weight, learning about diet, working out, training etc. will be reflected here.
Martial arts has always been associated with philosophy and we think that is kind of interesting.
Martial arts isn’t everything, and we feel our passions for other things in life should bleed into the page, so once a month, we’ll talk about things like that here.
Based on the Fight Matrix rankings, we add a little personal prejudice to reflect our picture of the best, most exciting and most successful fighters from Europe right now.
We will also continue to seek out interviews and doubtless we’ll have opinion pieces to add as well.

President Trump announced Monday night that Brett Kavanaugh, a federal appellate court judge based in Washington, D.C., is his pick to replace outgoing Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy — a nominee who, if confirmed, will cement a conservative majority on the nation’s highest court.
Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont issued a similar statement.
But many Democrats said the Senate should follow the standard set by McConnell and refuse to vote on Trump’s next nominee to the high court. President Barack Obama’s choice for Scalia’s replacement, Merrick Garland, was blocked by congressional Republicans, who argued that the seat should be left unfilled until after the 2016 election.
Last week, McConnell reportedly told Trump that Kethledge and Hardiman presented the fewest obstacles to being confirmed. But Leonard Leo, an official of the Federalist Society who is Trump’s top Supreme Court adviser, said Sunday that the pair were lesser known, and it would therefore take longer to line up conservative support for them.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., sees no such issues.
The White House invited four Democratic senators from red states — Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Joe Donnelly of Indiana, Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota and Sen. Doug Jones of Alabama — to Monday night’s event. All four declined to attend.
Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., raised concern over Kavanaugh’s position that a president should be shielded from litigation before leaving office. Trump continues to be dogged by special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation into possible collusion in the 2016 election or potential obstruction of the probe by the president himself.
“President Trump is currently a subject of an ongoing criminal investigation,” Booker said in a statement. “There is a clear conflict of interest inherent in the president nominating someone who could be the deciding vote on a number of potential issues from that investigation that could come before the court.
Additional reporting by Christopher Wilson, Michael Walsh, Kadia Tubman and Laina Yost.
Who will pick up Kennedy’s bipartisan legacy on the court? No one.
Who are the ‘People of Praise’ that Amy Coney Barrett belongs to?

The young Warriors-to-Be were experienced burglars and soldiers, of course, so the crept through the castle like seasoned commandos.
— page 70, How to Train Your Dragon, Book Nine: How to Steal a Dragon’s Sword by Cressida Cowell.
P.S. Was anyone else SUPER excited for the release of the twelfth book, How to Fight a Dragon’s Fury? My mom ordered it for me and my brother, and it arrived today!
Gahhh, I NEED to do this! xD Sounds so neat!
The books are really good. But they changed pretty much everything about the plot and the characters when they made it into a movie.
You probably will enjoy them, once you accept the fact that in the books, Toothless is a tiny, grass green hunting dragon.
What on earth?! Okay, that’s definitely going to take some getting used to….
Heheh xD I’m pretty sure the directors of the movies modeled Toothless after Hiccup’s riding dragon, the Windwalker.

The TV industry wants you to think about throwing out that fancy flat-screen HDTV you just got. This year at the Consumer Electronics Show, the big thing in screens was “4K UHD,” an emerging standard for video screens with four times the pixel count of mere HD.
Inexpensive 4K UHD televisions were everywhere at CES. More importantly, they were backed up by a decent collection of ultra high-definition video services to feed them content.
Yet the mass-market prospects for TV with four times the resolution of HD — 3,840 by 2,160 pixels — appear as blurry as ever.
The basic problem with UHD hasn’t changed since 2012, when the technology had its first big moment at CES. And it’s not the engineering of the TVs themselves. Packing all those pixels into a flat-panel screen isn’t that much harder than the challenges Apple faced in fitting Retina displays into the iPhone and the iPad. This problem is on the way to getting solved. As a result, you’ll soon be able to buy 50-inch UHD sets for as little as $999 from Polaroid and Vizio.
But where Apple had only to persuade developers to soup up graphics in their apps, UHD TVs won’t sell without ultra-high-def video to watch, as well as new services to pipe that content into viewers’ homes.
CES 2014 provided good answers to the first half of that equation. Sony’s Video Unlimited 4K download service was joined by the DreamWorks/Technicolor joint venture M-Go 4K streaming offering. There were also promises that Amazon Instant Video, Netflix and YouTube would be streaming 4K movies and TV shows.
But how to get it?
The real challenge is getting that content from the studio to screens in homes. The video can come in over Internet connections today, but UHD seriously binges on bandwidth.
Technology comes to the rescue to an extent: There’s the new and impressive HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) compression to reduce the bandwidth needs. But even with it, Sony’s downloads, for example, will run from 20 to 50 gigabytes each. Watching one a week could eat up most of AT&T’s, Charter’s and Cox’s 250 GB monthly bandwidth allotments.
And to stream UHD directly into a set, you’ll need a connection that’s not just forgiving but fast. At CES, Netflix founder and CEO Reed Hastings made a best-case pitch, telling me it would “look great” over a consistent 15 million bits per second connection (which adds up to about 20 GB for a 2½-hour flick).
As it happens, that’s the advertised speed of my Verizon FiOS service, as verified through repeated checks at the Speedtest.net site. And that’s not always speedy enough to keep Netflix from stuttering.
Netflix communications director Joris Evers provided more exact figures than Hastings could in our quick exchange. The service’s “top end” HD streams run at 5.8 Mbps, while its UHD video hits 15.6 Mbps — which suggests that 25 Mbps is a more realistic minimum. But even a 6 Mbps connection is out of reach for most Americans.
You can forget about over-the-air UHD reception for now. The government is unlikely to make every new digital set obsolete by switching to a new broadcast technology to handle UHD’s data needs.
What about cable and satellite? The major TV services all say they have the capacity — for example, Comcast plans to begin renting UHD-compatible boxes this fall — but none have committed to wide rollouts of UHD yet.
As for Blu-ray discs, the work to develop a UHD version of this standard has only just started.
Regardless of the delivery method, most early UHD buyers won’t be able to tune into UHD video at full quality, thanks to first-generation sets shipping without the proper compression standard or input connection. Oops!
Assuming these various content, delivery and standards constraints are solved (which they will be eventually), there’s then the human problem. Below a certain screen size, you can’t discern the extra pixels from your couch.
The industry wants to fix that by recommending that you get big screens and that you cozy right up to them.
Most of the manufacturers I talked to at CES suggested that a 50-inch display was the realistic minimum for UHD, but Sharp marketing manager Chris McMinn said 60 inches was more like it.
An initially compelling Sony demo featured two 65-inch screens, one HD and the other UHD. From about six feet away, the difference was clear — but not when I stepped back to what felt like a more comfortable eight feet or so.
Some TV manufacturers will argue that even six feet is too far away for a screen that size: At an industry conference in New York last summer, multiple speakers suggested that 1.5 times screen height — barely four feet for a 65-inch screen — was UHD’s optimal viewing distance.
So you might need a bigger wall to mount a UHD screen on, but at least you won’t have to bust out the opposite wall to move the couch back.
Maybe all of us, not just a videophile niche, will get used to watching TV from the same distances we sit from monitors today. If so, please tell me we can draw the line at the inevitable sales push for 8K video.

Fernie On Instagram : Mexican Buffet What!?
I really enjoyed the skiing at the golf course this winter. It’s close to home, you could do a short loop if you wanted to, and it’s not full of mountainous hills. I’ll miss it!
I haven’t been running since the first snowfall. Not that I have completely given up on activity this winter, but it’s been sporadic. A bit of fat biking or cross-country skiing sprinkled throughout the winter, and that’s about it. I’m the first one to tell you I’ve been pretty lazy this winter. I’m okay with hibernating for the winter, I have no guilt over it but I’m feeling quite soft and ready to go.
Now that the snow is melting and the roads are clearing, I’m actually wanting to run again. I WANT to.

WASHINGTON, DC and NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - October 23, 2014) - Grantmakers In Aging (GIA), a national association of funders, and the Pfizer Foundation today announced a third year of funding for the Community AGEnda Initiative to help American communities become more age-friendly, meaning great places to grow up and grow old. The Pfizer Foundation has granted GIA $1.49 million, from which the five participating Community AGEnda communities, in Maricopa County, Arizona; Miami-Dade County, Florida; metro Atlanta, Georgia; the state of Indiana; and the greater Kansas City region will each receive $120,000. Each site will also be required to raise at least $40,000 in local matching funds.
"With the aging population growing rapidly, we recognize the need to make our communities more age-friendly, helping people live better by staying involved, healthy, and independent, able to live in their own homes as long as they want to, and maintaining important connections to families, neighbors, and communities," said John Feather, PhD, CEO of Grantmakers In Aging. "We are proud to work with the Pfizer Foundation on this important initiative. The good news is that age-friendly communities are better places for people of all ages."
America is getting older fast, as more than 10,000 Boomers turn 65 every day. Yet most communities are not preparing to take advantage of the opportunities -- and meet the challenges -- presented by a growing number of older adults.
The steps that communities take to become more age-friendly vary, but often include efforts to become safer, healthier, and more walkable, and to ensure the availability of affordable and accessible housing, good transportation options for non-drivers, access to both paid work and volunteer opportunities, strong intergenerational connections, and access to well-coordinated health and social services.
"The global movement to make our communities more age-friendly is a smart and forward-looking response to our changing demographics," said Oonagh Puglisi, Executive Director of the Pfizer Foundation. "The Pfizer Foundation is pleased to support Community AGEnda for a third year. Both the Pfizer Foundation and Pfizer Inc. recognize that healthier lifestyles, improved mobility, and stronger connections to community are important factors in improving quality of life for older adults and everyone in our communities."
In its third year, Community AGEnda will place particular emphasis on sustainability, seeking to embed age-friendly principles in the work of participating and partner organizations, strengthen national and international partnerships, and create informational projects to support future age-friendly efforts.
In greater Atlanta, the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) will support two Tactical Urbanism Demonstrations to show how urban planning can help create a lifelong community; develop a prototype four-year regional strategic plan on aging to guide the allocation of federal and state funding for aging; create a document to make the economic case for age-friendly work; and explore potential collaborations with foundations on age-friendly initiatives.
In Maricopa County, Arizona, the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) will launch a statewide Arizona Age-Friendly Network; host an annual conference on aging; continue to support three pilot sites addressing transportation needs or using the Village to Village model; and conduct a state-wide competition to choose the best age-friendly community.
In the greater Kansas City region, the Mid-America Regional Council (MARC) will continue to work with Kansas City's First Suburbs Coalition to implement the Communities for All Ages Recognition Program; create the Communities for All Ages Professional Network; conduct a Walk-Friendly Community Certification regional workshop; and host a four-part housing workshop on age-friendly home modification.
In Miami-Dade County, Florida, the Health Foundation of South Florida (HFSF) will launch a community planning process that will identify age-friendly priorities; develop a three-year age-friendly action plan; continue age-friendly work on the county's master and transportation plans; expand an age-friendly business district in the Little Havana neighborhood; and convene an age-friendly summit for the region.
In Indiana, the Indiana Philanthropy Alliance will partner with the Center on Aging and Community at Indiana University to strengthen the statewide Lifelong Indiana Coalition; develop private sector initiatives for age- and ability-friendly housing options and economics opportunities in the city of Bloomington and along its B-line Trail; work with at least five Indiana community foundations to raise funds for future age-friendly activities; and create opportunities for five youth philanthropy programs (housed at community foundations) to engage older adults in their philanthropic programs.
In addition to the work of the five individual sites, Community AGEnda grantees in Arizona and Indiana will work together to explore approaches to helping rural communities become more age-friendly through local engagement and collaboration, and will receive $37,000 to identify and share promising practices in both states through an active learning network, site visits, a sister-city project, and an age-friendly community competition.
Work with the International Federation on Aging (IFA) to develop a series of original educational materials and webinars.
To help communities everywhere become more age-friendly, Grantmakers In Aging will increase awareness of the movement through collaborative and knowledge-sharing projects with major age-friendly groups.
"Say Hello," an intergenerational social media campaign and photo contest.
Earlier work has included infographics highlighting age-friendly facts and trends; short videos about the work of the Community AGEnda sites; an age-friendly photography contest; and a national searchable database of age-friendly programs across America, all available at www.GIAging.org/CommunityAGEnda.
The Pfizer Foundation is a charitable organization established by Pfizer Inc. Its mission is to promote access to quality health care, to nurture innovation, and to support the community involvement of Pfizer colleagues. The Pfizer Foundation provides funding and resources to local and international organizations that expand and improve global health strategies. In 2013 the Foundation provided over $17.7 million in grants and employee matching gifts to non-governmental organizations across the United States.

I am over the moon and so excited for today you have no idea! In a few hours I will be giving my first corporate wellness presentation here in San Francisco. I have been prepping like a mad woman while balancing the family visit and thought it would be fun to share some of the tips I plan to talk about today. Since the target audience is modern business professionals I’ve included 10 tips to energize your day without an energy drink or excessive coffee consumption.
Believe it or not your mom was right: some fresh air will do you some good, so try to get outside for 10-20 minutes.
Leave your desk to eat as often as possible – including snacking if you can help it.
Sipping on green tea in the afternoon after your lunch has been known to improve cognitive function, aid digestion, keep you fuller longer, and fuel your body with antioxidants and flavonoids.
Red is associated with confidence and winning…brighter colors can also keep you more alert and awake.
I hope you find ways to incorporate one, or some, of these tips to help keep you energized, the healthy way!
We’re mid-way through another wonderful week and I for one am beaming today! There is a lot to be grateful for everyday but today especially because my sister and parents are coming to visit!! That, and things are falling into place more and more with my career and our live’s here in San Francisco. In the coming weeks there are lots of exciting things happening! Everything to come has to do with growing in my career, so I couldn’t be more excited that I have time with some of my family beforehand; which brings me to today’s Wellness Wednesday topic, balance. When I mean balance, I don’t mean the kind I do on my head or in the picture above 😉 I mean happily and effectively managing all the different aspects of life. I used to get this tunnel vision when it came to the different aspects of my life: I would focus on whatever I wasn’t happy about and figure out a way to fix it or make it bend my way. Sometimes I would succeed but most of the time I wouldn’t and I would end up mor e unhappy than when things started. It wasn’t until a few years ago that I was really able to make a sift…things just were not working. Now, my focus is on finding time for the little things, working smarter, and allowing myself downtime. I know as life continues and children are added to the picture, things will get even more exciting and the challenge of balancing things out might become more tricky but in the end, its ALL doable. Whatever your priorities in life, you’ve got time for all of them and the stuff you want to do too, it just takes a bit of balance. If you’re not sure where to start, begin by taking 5-10 minutes to be silent, alone, and just see what pops up.
I hope everyone had an awesome weekend and are gearing up for another amazing week! Phil and I are feeling energized and ready to tackle week 2 of our diet and exercise routine. We took some time to indulge in moderation this weekend with a little post yoga lunch out in the Mission and it felt perfectly satisfying – a little vegan french onion soup and mushroom, gruyere grilled cheese…perfect on a chilly Sunday afternoon.
One of the biggest parts of our ‘change’ is leaving time for rest and not depriving ourselves of anything…it’s more about making the healthy choice most of the time and allowing for a little wiggle room. We’ve got such a busy week with Phil traveling for business and me working the yoga journal conference but we’re committed to sticking with our routine. If you are in the bay area and haven’t gotten your passes for Yoga Journal Conference this coming weekend use code NEW YOU at check out to get 15% off your passes. I am so excited to be a part of everything and I hope to see some of you there too!!

It’s the weekend! A time to relax and gather amongst friends. Last night, we went back to Beaver & Bulldog, a place I have already reviewed. Click HERE to read my post on it. I started off with crab cakes, which wasn’t as great when I had it last time. This was a little on the milder side of the spice range, and was quite mushy.
I ordered the Ultimate Platter which consisted of half a rack of ribs, pork schnitzel, and 4 pieces of wings with choice of sauce, accompanied by coleslaw and fries. The slaw and fries were good, while the wings with Buffalo sauce had a nice spicy kick with a sweet buttery undertone to it. The pork schnitzel was tender and juicy with a crispy outer layer. The ribs on the other hand were not anything special. The flavour was average, and wasn’t as enjoyable as the rest of the food on the plate. I would rate this dish 3/5 since the majority of the dish was good but the ribs didn’t meet my expectations.
I am a big fan of the Tsunami Wings at B&B.

Previous client, Iris van Herpen showed her beautiful AW/15 collection at Paris Fashion Week. Models transformed into raw minerals and crystals, stalactites and cobwebs and other things you would find in a cave, which wowed the audience.
Blow sipped Prosecco alongside model Jade Parfitt and actress Sienna Guillory at the launch exhibition for Gary Wallis’ new book ‘McQueen Backstage : Early Shows’ (Big Smile Publishing). Photographer Gary was friends with McQueen from his Central St Martins days and the backstage photos from the early catwalk shows are interspersed with intimate personal portraits of the designer. The book launch coincides with V&A’s ‘Savage Beauty’ exhibition of McQueen’s life’s work, almost 5 years after his death. The ‘Early Shows’ exhibition is at Proud Chelsea, Kings Rd, London until 5th April.
Once again London fashion week has come and gone, however this season it was the newbies that truly stood out from the fashionable crowd. Fresh emerging talent such as Caitlin Price and Ed Marler had no problems showing on schedule along side global fashion houses such as Burberry and Jasper Conran. They managed to captivate the audience and press’ attention with their outstanding yet whimsical collections, which are bound to keep them at the forefront of our attention for seasons to come.
Another key designer who emerged triumphed this season was Awon Golding Millinery. Awon showed a competent collection, with exquisitely detailed and structured hats. Speaking with Awon at her AW15 presentation she stated her ethos for the collection was ‘“Modern design with a sophisticated feminine edge; classic with a smile-inducing twist.” Awon is another under published exceptional designer whose talents are busting to be noticed.
London fashion week has once again shown its true diversity and support for undernourished creative talent within Britain and has beyond doubt put London on the map for creatively.

I am still living partly in Nepal. It takes many months to fully formulate all that we have seen and done after one of these trips. I try to listen intently to the Lord and the "new revelations" He has for me as illustrated by the new life experiences He allows in these far away places. The people and faces continually run through my mind and I pray for those I met and those I never will. The workers there, Jesse and Shanee S, mean so much to us and I find myself thinking of her, especially, often. She is due with their first Mar. 1 and you know how I love me some mommas! Coming home is always hard on me on many levels, especially when the trip is accompanied with so much sickness and jet lag. But it is the emotional crushing that is the hardest to process and crystallize into its proper place. I always give my heart to the people I am with and frankly, I am running out of "heart" having left large pieces in Africa, India, and now Nepal.
The above picture is one of my favorites. This dear older lady came and set with Craig, Elesa and I during a break. They could not understand one word we said, but they just wanted to be near. How lovely. Her face was wrinkled and the evidence of a hard life was reflected in her frail, bend body. Her hands bore tattoos, probably left over from her precious pagan religion. Despite the hardships of her life, the joy of the Lord shown thru. She loved God and she loved God's Word. The pictures shows the difference in our lives but the commonality of our hearts. We are one in the Lord; sisters in Him from around the world!
As you celebrate the birth of Jesus, with all the wonderful trappings of family and friends, please do not forget what this time is all about. It is easy to forget the Perfect Gift in the midst of the gift giving. It is easy to replace the joy of the Lord with the mania of the season. It is easy to become "worldly" at the most holy time of the year. Keep your eyes on Jesus. Blessings.
I can only imagine that you are all very busy getting all your Christmas goodies in order. I myself will have to kick it into high gear here shortly since I do not have my tree up yet! God has been doing a new work in my heart of late and I thought I would share it with you. This has been worked into my soul from all the trips we have gotten to take in the last 2 years to third world countries. I return from each trip with a renewed determination to "purge" from my life anything that is distracting me from the high calling of walking with the Lord. Jesus rebuked Martha because she became distracted with all her work, trying to create a perfect gourmet meal for her special Guest. He was displeased that she allowed herself to become distracted with the work of the ministry rather than spending time with the Lord of the work.
The widow gave her mite and it pleased Jesus. He said she had given all she could. Others had obviously given more. Others had done more, but He was pleased with her tiny gift because it was all she could do. I am learning to do "all I can do" and not judge myself against the accomplishments of others. Others can always do more. That is not the issue. What should I do? Before the Lord, what is He asking me to do?
I am learning to make decisions based on the investment of my time and energy (very limited commodities) and the merit of the return. If it is something that will distract me from the Lord or my family, I am no longer willing to do it. If it is something that will cause me to stumble in my walk with the Lord or be unavailable to my family, then it is off my "to do" list.
I ask this question, "Can I do this thing without becoming distracted from the Lord and His kingdom work? Can I do this without ignoring the needs of my family? Can I do it without depleting my own energy? Can I get a good return on my investment of time?" If the answer is yes, I feel liberty in my spirit to proceed. But if not, I simply cannot invest in the activity. If I can do the project without losing my joy or becoming distracted...hey, I'm there. But if not, it is not God's plan for me.
I have learned to shortcut projects or cancel them all together because the high price of time and energy cuts into the priceless value of time with the Lord. I may not do everything that others do. I may not have a homemade Christmas feast and hand lettered place cards. I may resort to gift cards for gift giving. I may not have every inch of my house decorated for the holidays. (At this point I am still hoping to get my tree up!) But this I do know, that the Lord Jesus Christ will be highly exalted and greatly worshiped in this house. As for me and my house, we are going with Jesus. I am learning to lay aside all the bells and whistles and get back to basics. I am learning to make wise decisions based on effort involved and return received. And I am loving Jesus Christ, more and more each day. This is what I learned by traveling halfway around the world. I am learning just how much is enough. Blessings.
I am still relishing the trip to Nepal. I left a large piece of my heart over there. This gentleman is our American missionaries, Jesse and Shanee Snodgrass, landlord's father. I love his face. He is a Hindu and the mark on his forehead shows he has been to the temple to worship for daily prayers.Although the gospel is spreading rapidly in Nepal due to the lack of political or religious persecution, most of the nation lives in the utter darkness of unbelief. We have heard back from a number of our trainee and they are committed to spreading the gospel, discipling new converts and planting new churches. Because of the impact the trip to a third-world country has on me, I am having a hard time getting into the spirit of Christmas. The jet lag has subsided and my bronchitis is much better. Please pray for the body of Christ in Nepal and that many will come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Blessings.
It took 4 days of air travel to arrive at our destination. The whole team flew into Kathmandu Nepal. From there, the Sisks, the Redmonds and the Stockdales caught a flight to Biratnegar. While in the little airport we had about 30 minutes to kill. Craig spotted an Internet cafe. We quickly logged on to write home. Can you even imagine our delight when we saw an email from D that said "Baby Pic." We were stunned. Stunned I tell you to open it up and see the first ultrasound of Baby Stockdale!! And Dawson signed his email, Daddy Dawson! Tries were shed. Shouts were hollered. Dancing ensued! The little one is expected May 1 and is strong and healthy. To be on the other side of the world and get to see this, well it was a Kiss from the King!! Thank you Jesus!
This is a typical home in the Mounds village. One local pastor has planted 10 churches with over 700 members in it since 2002. He was set to baptize 56 new converts on Dec. 6. Wow! Life in the village is very hard but the people are full of joy in Jesus. They danced and sang in worship and received us with great humility. We were staggered by the warmth of their love for us and their gracious hospitality. They brought us some of their clothes to wear on the last day which we did with great delight. They were a sari type garment over a dark skirt. So fun.
This is a snapshot of the Nepal we saw. Nepal is the size of TN. but it goes from 300 ft. above sea level to Mt. Everest! It is a gorgeous place. We did 2 PE trainings in Itahari and Biratnegar. Both were well received by enthusiastic pastors and lay leaders. It is a program designed to help them lead people to Christ, discipline new converts and plant new churches. The first week was in the village called The Mounds and involved a bumpy 45 minute drive to arrive. The village is made up of mud huts and thatched roof dwellings. The people group we ministered to have only recently been evangelized bu the gospel is spreading quickly. We loved this group. I will post some more pictures of The Mounds village. We ate rice cut from their fields everyday and had fresh bananas for dessert under an open patio with a thatched roof. It was unbelievable. We miss the friends we made but it was good to get home. I have come home with an ear infection and bronchitis. It developed almost immediately due to the dust, pollution and strong incense. I am worn down and feeling rough but I am grateful that it did not interfere in the ministry of the Word while we were there. Pray for Nepal and God's sweet move of grace among the people there. Thank you for praying for us. Blessings.

Sunday Sermon Talks: Firsts for everything?
I don’t really have a clue how much longer will I have the. . . ‘privilege’ of going to church with my parents. While I can’t complain too much, the moment I move out I’m going to enjoy sleeping in on Sundays. I’ve basically operated with the notion of a sort of 6 day week my whole life, with Sunday being a special time of the week reserved for church and family stuff.
So let’s talk about faith for a moment.
This is of course paraphrasing, though the phone and sun examples are accurate. I couldn’t possibly remember it word for word, but I digress. It made me think of my own objections to faith and why I felt that faith the way it’s described in the bible wasn’t necessary. For one, it sounded to me that the “faith” that the pastor talked about that day seemed a lot like trust, NOT the biblical version. The sun rose yesterday and the day before, spanning throughout your whole life. It’s not that hard to expect that, from experience, it would do so again. Same with the car and the phone. If the phone didn’t work yesterday, I wouldn’t be so trusting of that phone in my pocket. The faith that the pastor talked about was entirely based on prior evidence to warrant the faith. (Or trust, take your pick) The christian faith, though, has nothing to do with evidence. While people probably have their own sorts of evidences supporting their christian faith, it’s not at all necessary for belief.
I can’t accept that notion as anything more than belief without justification. If this is what faith means, what use does it have? Even Craig goes so far as to say in his website that even though this is what faith means, Christians still have evidence. And I’ve heard most, if not all, of the arguments, from refined to emotional. Let alone the fact that it’s never been sufficient, this is in direct conflict with the biblical calling for Christians to have faith. I think it impossible to sincerely believe in something without evidence. Let’s be honest, we’re insecure beings. We just don’t take what’s handed to us. I’m willing to bet that everyone who comes to the Christian faith already had prior belief in a god. As evidence motivated creatures, I find it hard to think that anyone actually had a complete lack of evidence before just going forward and believing in god. Sure, their evidences may be false arguments or years of being raised in a religious family. But no matter the quality of evidence, it’s evidence nonetheless.Though, the faith Christians talk about has a catch. If at any point the evidence fails, it doesn’t matter because there was never a need for it! The sting of this is that when the evidence falters in a believer, their belief will still be warranted unlike before they believed, and now they will continue to blindly believe sans justification. Is this any way to operate in real life? Do I just keep believing in things in face or in absence of evidence, or embrace the fact that I have no justification for my beliefs?
I have absolutely no problem with faith as long as there is evidence for it. Hell, we can hope for things without evidence in the same vein with no problem. But the moment we try and find truth by disregarding evidence, we might as well have handed our eyes over to that which we blindly believe in.
We aren’ t about using them anymore, that’s for sure.
So this is my intro to a weekly sort of ramble I’ll be writing about my thoughts on sermons I have to listen to. I might make a small post about today’s sermon but it’s really nothing huge. They’re talking about the book of Joshua.

You are missed, even if you’re only gone for a while.
It gives me hope, but I didn’t want it this way.
But fear not, your gloom is only temporary.

Was Sir Muhammad Iqbal inspired by Sargodha, or was Sargodha inspired by Iqbal?
Sargodha district is renowned for its oranges and henna, whereas the city of Sargodha is famous for the PAF Base Mushaf, which is also host to the elite combat commander school of the Pakistan Air force. It is a widely held belief that, the first bomb to be dropped on Pakistani soil during the 1965 war can now be found – unexploded at the aptly named, ‘Bum Chowk’ in the city of Sargodha. Being home to the sterling air heroes of the 1965 war, earned this city, the nickname of, “Shaheenon Ka Shehar”.
I was fortunate to be born in this small – and back then, clean city. Roads were well-maintained and clean compared to other cities and there were only a handful of cars. In fact, the most common mode of public transport was the Tonga. IIRC, there were only a couple of ‘petrol pumps’ in the city and one had to travel to the outskirts to fill up the tank. Water Supply Road – later re-named (Farooq e Azam Road) was where I grew up. Now that I think back, the people I grew up amongst were mainly from two different ethnic backgrounds. The main road was the great divider – on one side, all houses were owned by local Punjabis and on the other side was the Muhajir mohalla. Despite the stark differences between the languages of the two communities, there was never any bloodshed. The sectarian divide on the other hand was a whole different story.
I attended Army Public School Sargodha, which was located in Sargodha Cantt. The Lower Jhelum Canal divides the city from the Cantt, and my school was located amongst prime agricultural land opposite of the famous Remount Depot Sargodha. For me, the city was divided in 4 areas – the androon shehar (covering the old city area), the Army Cantt on the outskirts of the city, the PAF Base and its surrounding areas and the then gunjaan abaad Satelliate Town. The old city area is full of life, and one can walk from one end to another on foot without breaking much of a sweat. Ideally, I always start from the Water Supply Road and end up at Company Bagh at the other end, while always making sure to have sugarcane juice at one of shops located just outside the entrance of the Bagh.
Much has changed since I moved to Rawalpindi in 1998, but a small abode awaits me anxiously whenever I land in Pakistan, and I make sure to spend a week or two every year in Sargodha. Here are a few pictures I took while roaming around aimlessly the last time I visited, hope you enjoy them.

Since May is Mental Health Month, I thought I would utilize Sigmund Freud to discuss substance abuse. Freud certainly is a name that looms large in the fields of psychology and psychiatry. His structural model defining one's psyche is made up of three distinct hypothesized constructs - namely, the id (which we are born with and can be thought of as that part of our personality crying out for "I want what I want when I want it" or immediate gratification); the ego (the "executive" of our personality, which develops and helps us to see things from a realistic perspective); and the superego (which develops as well and can be broken down into the ego ideal and the conscience - think of these parts of our personality as helping us to distinguish right from wrong).
This personality paradigm, if you will, finds the ego balancing between our need for immediate gratification, and at the same time not "offending our superego" such that we lie awake at night plagued by guilt. While I have spoken of these complex structures in rather elementary terms, the description will serve my purpose in making an important point.
Individuals with addiction issues are constantly struggling with their need for immediate gratification. If they don't like the way they feel, they take a drink or a drug that seems to deliver a change in mood - the problem is that when we go beyond their id and get into the realm of their superego, there are consequences. While their ego attempts to counterbalance between the id and the superego, it utilizes three primary defense mechanisms: denial (I don't have any problem with alcohol or drugs); projection (I am not the problem you are the one with the problem); and rationalization (the reason I have a problem is A, B, and C - so I don't bear any responsibility).
These defense mechanisms that are used in the service of the ego to preserve one's self-esteem, often serve as a roadblock in helping the addicted individual see reality. Some clinicians try to strongly confront these defenses - but this often leads to the person becoming even more defensive - how ironic! Instead, this author advocates a "carefrontational" approach - one that treats the individual with respect and dignity - never shamming or blaming, but does indeed hold them responsible for their personal recovery.
Of course, there are many knowledgeable professionals who are more than willing to help people with their struggle to develop a better sense of self-esteem and not have to resort to changing how they feel in the immediacy of the moment - a temporary and at times deadly solution.
Lastly, for those of you who are budding neuropsychologists and psychiatrists, please note that research has begun to make great strides in correlating brain structures with Freud's theoretical constructs. This clinician believes that when we embrace "scientific totality" in search of empirical evidence we will certainly come up with evidenced-based practices that lead to first-rate treatment for the disease of addiction - indeed, we have already made great strides!
How do I know this? I'm one of those hopeless people you are talking about in your article with a very strong reaction formation to it which makes me VERY combative. C'est la vie. I have a compulsion to set your thinking right.
I happen to remember the traumatic Night Sea Journey (at the age of four) that gave me three different voices aka "intelligences" in my Tri-une brain. I'm bipolar now with two warring brothers aka (the Superego and Ego) and psychosis prone aka (the Id aka the couldron of chaos). I tracked it down to the "Oedipus Complex." The Oedipus complex isn't what Psychology reports it to be. I'll show you visually where I went to get my unrelenting Thanatos Anxiety and shame.
My Id represented in the painting by the Midgard Serpent pulled my father represented by Thor from the boat and I couldn't save him represented by Hymir. My helplessness and powerlessness in this divine realm can not be reached by mere mortals. It takes a Hercules to save Hymir.
Here's your chance to be Hercules if you dare.
Theoretically, if I may tell my own just-so story, perhaps in the course of human evolution, romantic breakups piggy-backed onto existing brain structures and functions to register social rejection as painful ... and to lead to the sorts of behaviors that pain from physical stimuli produce, like putting a distance between the self and the source of pain and then taking time to recover from the damage inflicted.
Practically, this research suggests ways to deal with the pain of social rejection. For starters, perhaps one should not "confront" the source of the pain - the breaker - at least not if one wants to feel less pain. We do not advise someone who has burned their hand on a stove to ‘confront" the stove. We do not tell someone who has burned their hand to "process" or "talk through" what happened. We tell them to turn off the stove and to be more careful in the future. Duh.
Relationship problems foreshadow substance use, and here people may be trying to deaden the accompanying pain (cf. Simon & Barrett, 2010). I surfed around this morning and found an Internet website devoted to the "best" drugs, legal and illegal, to use after a romantic breakup! Most of the suggested drugs had analgesic properties. All of this makes perfect sense, but there is a slippery slope between drug use and drug abuse that make this a dangerous long-term remedy, no matter how successful it may be in the short-term. Alas, my caution pertains to chocolate ice cream as well as to alcohol and the opiates.
So, how about physical exercise? Research is clear that vigorous aerobic exercise can reduce physical pain. I bet that it reduces the pain of social rejection as well, although relevant research is needed. Perhaps it has already been done and escaped my searches. Regardless, we have a clear hypothesis, and that is good if science is to contribute to a life lived well, or at least not painfully.
First, thank you for the article. Certainly food for thought, and further reflection.
Second, Is it ironic that you chose to use Sigmund Freud-who had a recorded history of injecting cocaine-to introduce the topic of substance abuse? Or was that deliberate, as I am prone to believing?
I am not suggesting that Freud was an addict, or even an abuser of drugs-except for his 20 cigars a day habit that eventually killed him.
As a recovering addict who works with other addicts seeking to stop using and recover, I appreciate the insights and information provided in this article.
Please keep them coming, because people are dieing by the hundreds, and thousands, from a lack of understanding.
First of all thank you for your interest and the work you are doing.
Freud was definitely addicted to smoking and also later on in life through an iatrogenic process became very addicted to cocaine which he used to medicate jaw cancer. But we both know that brilliant, talented individuals do contribute much despite their addictions, and I selected Sigmund as you realized to make people aware of that fact!!!
First of all, thank you for your work. Freud was an iatrogenic addict who used cocaine to self-medicate jaw cancer. Certainly he was also addicted to cigars which most likely resulted in that cancer, and yes, I used Freud deliberately to demonstrate that many individuals with addictions are brilliant contributors to our existence.

Two weeks ago we lost our beautiful German Shepherd, Casey. I’ve written a new composition in her memory, which is titled to reflect what I miss most about her.
I’ve made this a video with pictures from her life.
This is a recording of a new tune I call “Bonker’s Re-knob”. It is in my usual format of guitar, keys, bass and drums.
If you have a few minutes, please have a listen.
This is a recording of a new tune I call “80’s”. There’s nothing ground-breaking or profound here, but it is pretty pleasant and up-beat. It is in my usual format of guitar, keys, bass and drums.

Quick View allows you to add the ability to click on a product in your WooCommerce shop and display some basic details about that product in light box without the need to load a new page. Amazon does something similar as does some of the other bigger online retailers.
Out of the box this plugin gives you the option to add a “quick view” button to each product or select any “non-ajax” buttons to trigger the light box. However, for the store I was building I needed the light box to be triggered when you clicked on the thumbnail image instead.
As with any WooCommerce files, in order to modify them without your changes being overwritten the next time there is an update available, all you need to do is copy the file you want to edit into your theme folder. For this plugin I needed to modify the main woocommerce-quick-view.php file, so I created a new folder in my theme titled the same as the plugin and copied the file into that.
Once installed and activated, Quick View gives you some new settings under the Settings > General tab in WooCommerce. By default these are ‘Quick View Button’ and ‘Any non-ajax add to cart button’. We need to add a third option for product thumbnail.
Once the option in the admin has been created you need it to actually do something when selected. To do this we will add an action depending on what has been selected.
Here we’ve created a new trigger, an <a> tag with the class of ‘quick-view-image’. We’ve then added a filter that replaces the permalink for every <a> with that class with the new quick view url created by the plugin. And, as an added measure we’ve added conditional tags to make sure the permalink is only applied to shop archives and product category archives.
The last step is to amend each product listing to use the new options created as well. To do this all we need to do is add the class ‘quick-view-image’ to each product link.
NB: It is possible to do this without having to edit the WooCommerce product template as well by being more specific about your trigger in the plugin, instead of relying on a new class. However, this was easier for me at the time as I planned to edit other areas of the product template as well.

After seeing the cheese challenge played on toddlers, Susie Delair decided to try it with her dog. The result was hilarious. Aries was totally confused as to why she had a slice of cheese on her muzzle, and had no idea what was going on.

Makeup to mud in 3 seconds flat: Booster Juice date with pips!
Booster Juice date with pips!
I LOVE Mondays. My dates with the kids are the best ever. It is only 45-60min long, but in that time we go wherever they want, get a special drink/treat and talk about life. They are so excited that it is just them and not the other kids that I find it is the most informative talk I ever get with them. They want to share all the latest news, what bothers them, just interesting!!! Each kid has their favourite places, so unique.
It will be on the sizzix blog on March. 8th. Lot's of fun!
Anyways, let's create this layout. It is an easy one, little paper piecing and the title makes it look busy. First I cut out all the pieces for the booster juice cups.
to mimic the Booster Juice cups, I added pink stripes.
Here is what it looks like with the mask in the top right hand corner. Now when I put on the matted 8x8 photo (which is a collage of 9 photos) I put it a little closer to the right hand side to allow room on the bottom left for the booster juice cups.
Start layering the title. I used this new alphabet set Sizzix Bigz Alphabet Set 4 Dies - Fresh BlossomsAlphabet They are tall letters, so I knew that they would be a major part of this layout. That was okay with me. I think it still worked.
Also, I overlapped the photo, it helps ground the photo to the page more. By layering the title with yellow and pink, it helps "pop" the title.
Here are the little Booster Juice cups up close. I could have tried to make a logo for the centre of the cups, but I thought these epoxy shapes were much more fun.
Catching Up! Tips on grasping the workload and still enjoying the process.

I came across this interesting article and thought I’d share it. I’ll be the first to admit that unless I’m on the go and pressed for time, I prefer to seek out better food options when I’m traveling.
To this list I’d like to add a personal favorite: Changi International Airport in Singapore. Their food court boasts numerous options including local specialties, all at reasonable prices for an airport. The noodle house offers fresh Chinese hand-pulled noodles of all different varieties….a very welcome choice for a “fried-and-dipped”-weary world traveler!

If you like progressive, piano, dubstep, or all three synthesized in one with some cutting edge and a big bass drop, then you’ll like this remix I found of Cutline’s Die For You. Something about those high pitched vocals and the dubstep mish mashed makes it always work.

"Shoot Style" Puroresu is the variety of pro-wrestling that began developing in the early 1980s in New Japan Pro-Wrestling and led to formation of several companies and could be credited with the establishment of mixed martial arts in Japan and possibly the United States. Since the 1970s, Antonio Inoki had been doing "mixed matches" with a wide array of athletes from judokas and Kyokushin karate fighters to amateur wrestlers and, most famously, boxing legend Muhammad Ali. The generation that came up after him mastered a hybrid style of pro-wrestling and elements of martial arts. They broke away and formed the first UWF, which was popular, but survived only for a brief time. One, Satoru Sayama, left to develop his own style and company called Shooto. The others returned to New Japan for an unprecedented interpromotional feud in the mid-1980s. It was not long before they left and as the Newborn UWF made another attempt. This second UWF was successful, lasted longer, but eventually died as its top stars all left to form their own companies. Yoshiaki Fujiwara and his star students created the short-lived Pro-Wrestling Fujiwara-gumi (PWFG); Nobuhiko Takada was the star of a third UWF, UWF International (UWFi) and Akira Maeda formed Fighting Network RINGS. Fujiwara's group died and led to the formation of Pancrase, which was a step closer to legit shoots, and BattlARTS, which was a step closer to traditional pro-wrestling. The UWFi was a monumental success and, for a time, was the hottest ticket around. However, its meteoric rise was matched by its unimaginable decline. Many of its stars went to New Japan for another huge interpromotional feud, but eventually many went on to form Kingdom. RINGS was a big success and ran for over a decade, expanding in unprecedented ways and taking the style to its artistic heights as the best practitioners from the UWFi came in. After the NJPW-UWFi feud culminated, Nobuhiko Takada worked to establish Pride FC, a "full" shoot organization. As the new millenium came, shoot-style puroresu gave way to legit shoot fighting. Major stars from RINGS, Kingdom, BattlARTS, Pancrase and even New Japan tried their hand in Pride FC and other shoot organizations with mixed results. RINGS eventually went to shoots themselves before closing their doors. Kiyoshi Tamura tried to revive the "shoot style" with his U-Style company, which was an off-shoot of the small MMA company DEEP. Pride FC grew to astonishing heights and its popularity and influence is credited by many for the decline of puroresu's popularity. Interestingly, Akira Maeda returned to the scene as a public face for Hero's, a new company backed by K-1's parent company, which would compete with Pride FC. Scandals and allegations of yakuza involvement rocked Pride and they lost their TV, forcing them to sell their assets to Zuffa (the parent company of the Ultimate Fighting Championship) in 2007. Hero's brought several Pride executives on board and rebranded itself as Dream and is now the public face of MMA in Japan, although they will never be as popular as Pride was in its heyday.
In 1983, New Japan had young talents that were growing tired of the pecking order that held them back despite their popularity with the crowd and innovative styles. At the forefront was Akira Maeda had an innovative style and dynamic personality, but never became the heir to Inoki that maybe he should have been. These two in addition to other frustrated talent left the company to start their own group, the UWF. Several of the founding members left when it was decided the group would feature a more realistic shoot-style. The company was joined by Satoru Sayama, the former Tiger Mask. Tiger Mask had made more of a huge impact over his two years in New Japan than most pro-wrestlers have in a full career, but retired suddenly in 1983. The company was doomed from the start with in-fighting (Maeda and Sayama had stylistic differences) and poor business decisions bringing things down. Maeda led a group back to New Japan for a hot interpromotional feud and he seemed poised to take a top spot, but a legit cheap shot on Riki Choshu led to his firing in 1987. He and his cohorts restarted the UWF and he secured some fresh talent from New Japan. Although the product was sharper and they were more popular, this UWF also failed due to stylistic problems between Maeda and president Shinji Jin who wanted to incorporate traditional and lucha libre styles. Maeda and Yoshiaki Fujiwara formed their own groups, while Nobuhiko Takada was the star of a third UWF called "UWF International."
Twice in the 1980s, Akira Maeda led the UWF. He had been one of New Japan's top stars, but was prevented from climbing to the top. Instead, he and other talent left New Japan to start a new company in 1984. Three original members: IWE's former top star Rusher Kimura, the undersized Gran Hamada and the eccentric Ryuma Go were members, but after it was decided the company would try a more realistic style, they left for All Japan. The former Tiger Mask, Satoru Sayama, and his student Kazuo Yamazaki joined the company. Faction forming and bad business led to the UWF's demise in 1985. Maeda led his crew back to New Japan, but grew frustrated again and was fired in 1988. He restarted the UWF with a similar roster and added some young New Japan trainees of his. This UWF was much better, but was plagued by some of the same problems that forced it to close in late 1990.
After the death of the second UWF, Yoshiaki Fujiwara decided to form his own company. Originally called "New UWF Fujiwara-gumi," he signed two great aspiring stars in Masa Funaki and Minoru Suzuki. The group was an extension of the UWF legacy, but focused on young talent, which it developed very well before it was split in two to form Pancrase in 1993 and BattlARTS in 1995.
When the second UWF folded, they had an excellent talent pool to use. Some joined Yoshiaki Fujiwara, but most continued with the new UWF, called "UWF International." This group took the UWF style to the next level. They wisely used their established stars, built new Japanese stars and brought in gaijin talent to display a global appeal. They were very successful, but financial mismanagement caused problems. They tried to rekindle the New Japan-UWF feud and while the box offices were huge, the booking was poor. The UWFi started bringing traditional pro-wrestlers in to elevate interest, but mixed martial arts was the wave of the future and they couldn't keep their appeal with their style.
Akira Maeda had twice unsuccessfully formed the UWF and when it folded a second time, he took control to create his own vision of pro-wrestling with his authority reigning supreme. Fighting Network RINGS signed a deal with the TV station WOWOW and brought in legit talent from all over the world. They used native stars, but did not rely on them as heavily as UWFi and Fujiwaragumi did. RINGS was even more realistic in its approach and after finding its footing became the longest running and arguably the best of the shoot-style promotions. Maeda was the native star in the formative years and then passed on his legacy to former UWFi superstar Kiyoshi Tamura, judoka Tsuyoshi Kohsaka and trainees of his. In 1999, he came out of retirement to battle Alexander Karelin, perhaps the greatest Greco-Roman wrestler in recorded history. RINGS slowly turned into a legitimate promotion and many MMA greats got their start in the company, namely Pride FC stars Antonio Nogueira and Fedor Emelianenko. RINGS ran their final Japanese show in 2002, although brands in Holland and Lithuania continued over the next few years. Maeda revived RINGS in 2008, after leaving the start-up MMA group Hero's, running smaller MMA shows as "RINGS: The Outsider."
After several stars left Fujiwara-gumi to form Pancrase, the company was in trouble. They downsized and repackaged themselves as BattlARTS. They chose a new style. The UWFi had grown bigger and were using the same style with better and more known talent. RINGS was more legitimate and had more international flavor. Pancrase was legit and was growing fast. BattlARTS with ties to Michinoku Pro, developed a style that leaned more toward traditional pro-wrestling than mixed martial arts. While it was an independent company with a strange flavor, BattlARTS had a good run from 1998-2002 and produced some excellent talent that have gone on to bigger things. From 2001 on, they've only run periodic shows and have often partnered up with other groups, they have yet to officially run a finale show, although it has been mentioned.
After the UWFi folded, the talent had two options in the next couple years - join a pro-wrestling company or begin fighting. Kingdom was the downsized version of the UWFi without the outsiders, without the gaijin talent and without the big production. They did, however, have the most talented workers at the shoot-style. While they were very short-lived and did not create much, Kingdom was the final UWF derivative promotion before the MMA influence washed over the pro-wrestling world. Nearly all of its roster would fight in Pride FC with mixed results. Kazushi Sakuraba, who had been a small undercarder in the UWFi and was a promising talent in Kingdom, became the biggest Japanese star in Mixed Martial Arts history.

Opportunity Kanban visually summarizes all of the opportunities for an opportunity record type. It’s more than just a board: this tool helps your reps keep their deals on track and moving forward. The word kanban refers to a system for optimizing work to increase continuous production and balance workload. This feature is available in Lightning Experience only. By seeing all opportunities at once, sales managers can effectively monitor the pipeline and sales reps can keep deals moving forward.
(1). The opportunities are sorted by stage and include the sum of all opportunities for that stage.The fields shown on the card are the first four fields of the corresponding list view.
(5) and quickly filter the view (6) to see a specific set of opportunities.
I recently Got question in Salesforce success community about How to Customize card layout in Opportunity Kanban then I came to know about it that we can easily customize this in lightning using corresponding list view.
Here am customizing the Card Layout for All Opportunity list view: You can take a look below screenshot for before customizing Opportunity Kanban view for All Opportunity it will display four fields in card layout: Opportunity Name, Amount, Account Name and Close Date.
So Suppose sales Team wants to display Who owns the Opportunity. So here we can add Opportunity owner also and they also don’t want to display Account name here. So we can customize this card layout for Kanban view here by customizing the corresponding list view.
You can only display four fields there on the card layout. So move fields from available fields to selected fields and move fields position as per your needs. Here I want to display Opportunity owner so I move the opportunity owner to in top four fields for list view and save.
So now you can see that on Card Layout it display the Opportunity Owner Name on Kanban view. Same as you can customize for other list view as well. Let me know if you find any difficulty in this. Give me your feedback in below comment section.
I am afraid as of now I don’t see any control over sorted by in kanban.
A bit late to the party – but is it possible to use the Kanban view for YearMonth? I would for example be like to view (and move) the opportunities to other months if the deal for some reason didn’t close when it was supposed to (which happens quite frequently).
hi, can we change the color of cards. My problem is if any application’s Opportunity stage is xyz then its application name should appear red in kanban view.
Can i create my own kanban view in custom calendar through lightning component?
Like I have created one custom calendar through lightning component and I’m showing account name in calendar date wise and i want to just drag and drop account name from one date to another date like kanban view.
Yes, Mayan you can create your own kanban view using the custom Lightning component in Salesforce.

Follow up to earlier post on the 2009 Guardian League Table.
There have been a couple of revisions to the overall Guardian League Table, which now looks as set out below. The most significant change is the drop of the University of the Arts, London from the dizzy heights of 13th place – perhaps the most surprising feature of the original table – to 45th. Other changes have no doubt been made to the subject tables which can be found here.
This entry was posted in League Table, Students, University, University of Nottingham and tagged Guardian, ranking by Paul. Bookmark the permalink.

So, I haven’t been round much again sorry!
After the release of my visual novel, I’ve been working on fixing up some small errors in it.
I will be on a break now for Easter (I’m exhausted after March 😀 ), but will be back next Thursday.
Sorry for the absence again lately! I am so appreciative of your comments and support, and I know I haven’t been able to show that appreciation properly. But with March and NaNoReno over and after a break I will be back to regular commenting and posting!
Diving in Deep- Challenge Complete!
I did it, I finished it in a month!
I won’t re-post all the information again, as I know many of you have seen it twice already! So for those interested in finding out more, please visit the links below.
– When an ending is unlocked, the picture will show on the start screen so as you can easily see which endings you have completed if you want to get them all.
This is my first visual novel, and my first time ever putting up something for download and, even though I got a few people to test it out, there might still be a couple of errors.
I also couldn’t test on Mac or Linux systems, so any feedback on those would be much appreciated.
2. Unzip the file to a destination of your choosing (your desktop is usually easiest).
3. Open the folder you extracted, and click on the application (there should be a little shell next to it, to indicate the correct application you need to click on).
His eyes brighten as they fall on me and he reaches out tentatively before snapping his hand away, flicking his gaze over the others next to me. As if against his will, he is drawn back.
This time his focus lingers, and he steps forward close enough that his eyes flicker shut at my scent. There is no hesitation this time as he reaches out to caress me, his fingers running down the length of my spine.
As he bites his lip we both know what he is thinking, of all that he could have with me: excitement, passion, adventure, love… all of it.
All he has to do is choose me.
Finally his hands encase me fully and he pulls me to his chest.
With a thudding heart he scans me closely, the world around him falling away, and I know he is lost within me.
I wrote this for a bit of fun, trying to write from the perspective of a book on a shelf at a library or bookstore. It was fun to try out, but really quite difficult 😀 Still, that’s what writing practice is about, right? Trying out new things!
Have you ever tried writing from a strange or difficult perspective?
Books and Reading Thursday: Tackling The List!
The thing is, I love reading! So I really need to get back to it.
I still have a goal I want to reach this year, and I am determined to do it. Also I have a backlog of review requests I need to get through, as well as a whole load of books I am really looking forward to reading.
I said in a post early this year that I was going to organise my reading list, and I did the first 5 books and that was brilliant ‘cause I actually got through them.
And then I didn’t organise the rest and that’s when my reading tapered off.
I’ve set out a bit more of my list in hopes I can start reading again.
Yes, I have organised 10 books on the list this time, and I’m a slow reader so that should keep me going for a while.
What are you currently reading? Any good book recommendations?
Status of Diving in Deep: Finishing touches!
If you’ve joined me from the incredible Kim Handysides then welcome!
Well, as I posted a couple of weeks ago, I’m currently working on something completely different. Still romance, still writing, still a story, just a different format for it.
My current project is called Diving in Deep, and is a visual novel, which is something like an interactive story where the reader takes on the role of the main character, choosing the decisions she can make and what her personality will be like. These decisions affect the outcome of the story and how those around her interact with her.
The story itself is about Quinn Lanton, an underwater archaeologist, who discovers (a rather handsome) merman called Merrik in the ruins she’s excavating. The meeting would be one of excitement, if it wasn’t for the fact that creepy treasure hunter, Walton Huntley, is shadowing her every move in the hopes of finding any artifacts worth selling, and she knows a merman would make his perfect prize.
Example of the choices that can be made.
Example of the layout and sprites.
Depending on the personality you’ve chosen for Quinn, some options might be harder to use.
There are 6 possible endings, and a selection of choices throughout.
As for my favourite scene, well that probably has to be the moment Quinn and Merrik meet for the second time.
I shake my head, trying to get across the fact I’m not panicking… much.
He is a merman after all, a being that isn’t supposed to even exist except in fairytales!
I nod, trying to regulate my breathing to a normal level and stem the adrenaline that courses through my system.
He breaks into a smirk, a playful glint in his eyes.
My awe of him quickly filters away with his snark.
The above scene is only one of the possible responses Quinn can make to Merrik in this situation.
The project will released towards the end of March (not long, I know!) and it will be FREE in the hopes a lot of people might be willing to try out this different format of storytelling if they haven’t before.
What are you currently working on? Are there any WIP projects by others you’re excited for?
Status of visual novel: All writing done. Working on adding music and sounds.
Part of the reason I wanted to finish the first draft of my current novel by the end of February was because I knew I was participating in a challenge in March.
It’s kind of like the normal NaNoWriMo, but instead of producing a 50,000+ novel, you produce a completed visual novel.
2. I adore Choose-Your-Own-Adventure books.
3. I love gaming, so being able to take some aspects of it and add it to my own story is awesome!
4. Really being able to bring the story to life through both writing and art.
I’ve always had a dream of creating a comic, because of the mixture of writing and drawing- I love the two!- But I was never patient enough to complete a whole comic.
So my project this month is to complete a visual novel, and see how it goes. Also, I will say that visual novels are something I hope to look into producing and selling along with my novels in the future.
Sorry for the white backgrounds on the art, WordPress apparently doesn’t like transparent images!
When underwater archaeologist, Quinn, discovers an artifact in the ruins she is exploring just offshore, she doesn’t realise the significance of it.
At least, not until she comes face to face with the owner of the artifact… who happens to have a tail.
Introduced to the world of the Merpeople, Quinn must keep the exciting discovery quiet in order to protect their secrets, all whilst dealing with new feelings that are stirring towards her merman guide, Merrik.
If that wasn’t difficult enough, she must contend with the persistent interference of a dangerous treasure hunter searching for his next big prize.
And Quinn is all too aware that the Merpeople would be his perfect target.
The main character of this tale, a woman whose curiosity helps her to find the biggest discovery of all time, only to realise she must keep it a secret.
Her personality can be defined by the player through dialogue and action choices, which will affect the way characters react to her and the outcome of the ending.
Merrik is happy to live his life in the safety of the sea, but meeting Quinn changes things.
Now the merman finds his position as Guardian of the artifact tested as he navigates through the world of humans and their greed for what does not belong to them.
An ex-archaeologist turned treasure hunter. His only interest is the next big prize and the fortune he could get for it.
Diving in Deep is going to focus on romance (obviously 😀 It’s what I write!), but will also have a good amount of excitement and action so hopefully all can enjoy it! It will be FREE, so I’m hoping lots of people will be willing to try it out.
Is this something you’d be willing to try out? Does this interest you as a different form of story?
(Books on my Bookshelf is not a review, just my personal thoughts, feelings, and memories on the books I own).
This time’s book is Beyond the Deepwoods by Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell.
When I was much younger (pre-teens) I wasn’t a big reader. Though my mum would read tons of stuff to us, and I loved that, I never actively sought out to read books.
I don’t even know where this book came from 😀 Possibly someone bought it ’cause she thought it looked interesting for someone my age.
But I did pick it up one day when I was young and read it, and I am so glad I did! This is definitely one of those books that left an intense impression on me.
I think part of the reason I actually finished this book was due to the illustrations in it. Even when I was younger, I was a very visual person (why I enjoyed comics and those types of story formats more back then), so having the text accompanied by such stunning illustrations really helped pull me further into the story.
This book made me cry (I was so upset at one point I had to put the book down and not pick it up for a couple of days! 😀 ), and it also scared the woozies out of me!
The most distinct memory I have of this book is reading it in bed late at night, and it was quite an intense scene where the main character, Twig, is running for his life from a monster. I was so into the story that when I turned over the page to read what happened, which was also accompanied by an image, I was so freaked out!
I can look back on it as funny now, but at the time I was very scared.
But that is my main memory of this book, of it being one the first books that got me hooked on story telling and making my imagination really run wild!
Though I haven’t re-read it (no, of course it has nothing to do with the emotional turmoil it put me through…) it is one that sits on my bookshelf and won’t be going anywhere. If I have kids someday, then it will definitely one I will experience with them!
Favourite thing about the book: I’m not sure I could pick one thing, but probably the main character; he was really one I could relate with it at that age.
Something I took away from the book: That stories really can take you anywhere.
Do you remember a book from your childhood that made you feel so strongly? Have you ever been so into a book your emotions went everywhere the character’s did?
Progress Report: More on that on Saturday’s post.

This video by Colin Smith is well beyond anything I will probably do – ever! He flies three DJI drones at one time over the ocean off Laguna Beach, CA.
I have yet to take my Phantom 2 Vision+ that far out into the water. He flew the three at one time to compare photos from the different cameras installed on each drone. However, the video does show just how easy it is to fly one. Put into the proper mode, take your hands off of the controls, and they just hover. Very impressive.
Let me know what you think of this post, and its video.
The link below is to a recent 360-degree panorama I took from my DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ drone. There was several steps involved to produce the VR or 3D rendering of the image.
I used the Litchi app to automatically take the single row of images making up the 360 degrees.
Then each of the 6 images were edited in Photoshop CC 2015 to correct for DJI camera lens, and remove some haze.
Microsoft’s Image Composition Editor, ICE was used to stitch the photos together.
And finally, Microsoft’s Photosynth program was used to render the 3D view shown in the link.
The Litchi app controls the drone, and making panoramas, including spherical ones is one of its more basic capabilities. There are several other programs that can do the stitching and rendering, and are supposed to do an even better job of rendering the images.
I have just begun to explore the Litchi app, and producing panoramas. I’ll post other noteworthy results here in the future.
Click on the above image to view the panorama.

I suspect many of us instinctively reach for the Clone Stamp tool, or possibly the Healing Brush or Spot Healing Brush in Photoshop Elements to remove unwanted objects from our photos.
However, using Content Aware Fill is generally much faster and often even does a better job than the traditional tools. In this Quick Video Tip, I demonstrate how to do just that in Photoshop Elements 14. Like any tool, it may not do a perfect job, and you may have to apply it a second time, or even one of the other tools to tidy up.
Please leave a comment and let me know how this works for you. If you find this video helpful, please click on the Like button. Thanks for watching.

Energy is one of the most valuable things, when you have it, give it off!
You need a lot of love, I get it.
If you ever question whether it’s “right” or “wrong,” it’s probably “right.” Cut yourself some slack, the entire universe is made up of attracting forces.
Attraction between the earth’s north and south poles keeps the earth spinning. The planets are attracted to the sun in a gravitational force that keeps it moving.
The solar system is attracted to the galaxy, and galaxies to galaxy groups and this big universe– although vast, is made up of these “little” attracting forces.
Matter is attracted to earth through gravity. Atoms are attracted to each other in chemical bonds. Even among lonely unicellular asexual creatures there’s a need to become two via fission, and among sexual creatures there’s a want to combine from two separate DNA. These dynamic and variable interplay of magnetism, forces and bonds between one other is everywhere, large and small. We are just a part of it. So cut yourself some slack for feeling like you can’t control yourself.

Tacoma is a first person story based video game. I downloaded a copy on Steam when it was on sale. It’s not too long a game – 10-20 hours tops – but it was enjoyable.
The lunar transfer station Tacoma has experienced a critical life support failure and all crew have abandoned ship. You have been hired by the station’s corporate owners to retrieve any “black box” data from the station’s various computers and then retrieve the station’s AI wetware core.
As you progress through this mission you have the opportunity to view AR ship logs recorded at various times (from 12 months prior to 12 hours prior). In these recordings the crew of Tacoma (4 women, 2 men) are shown as slightly geometric figures, each colour coded so you know who is who. It seemed weird at first but I actually enjoyed it.
The recordings aren’t on screens, they’re full-body projections that are walking around the space around you, talking to each other. You can access various personal terminals and work stations, go through drawers, and look in closets. As you go you’ll find things that don’t add up, as well as details about the crew.
What I enjoyed most about the game, and what prompted me to write this review, was the diversity. You play a female character named Amitjyoti (Amy) Ferrier, which is a huge step. First of all, you rarely see yourself but from what you do see, you’re dressed in practical clothing, and you’re not a “white” character. While the character has no speech or hearing impairments she interacts with the computer systems using sign language.
The two men are an Asian botanist (I do apologize, I am not familiar with the Asian nationalities so I can’t be more specific) and a Caucasian HR director (very British).
On top of the obvious national diversity, there are three couples mentioned in the game. First, the station director and the HR director are having a fling . Second, Bert and Nat (the mechanical engineer and the network tech) are married. Third, the Botanist has a husband and an 18 year old son back on Earth. So there is that diversity as well.
The story is part human-interest, part corporate thriller. The more time you spend examining papers and terminals, the more sense everything starts to make.
The graphics were simple in texture but the environment was detailed – lots of papers and pens and lights and bits and bobs everywhere. The AI, ODIN, whom you meet in the AR recordings, is serious but seems to care about the crew of his station. The interactions between crew members were interesting and realistic without the boring grind of “hey how are you?” “fine, how are you?” over and over again.
The ending was a bit of a jump and the story was short, but otherwise this game was a lot of fun to play and visually appealing. I give this a 4 out of 5.
No Fire Escape in Hell is part romantic comedy, part comedy of errors, written by Kim Cayer.
I first read this book in the summer of 2016 but we just finished reading it with the Steinbach and Area book club so I thought I would do a review.
The story has a first person female narrator and the character is quite amusing. This isn’t really my type of book but the character was entertaining enough that I finished reading. I liked her daughter as well.
What else I liked was the middle and ending of the book. She’s basically living out of her car and everything goes wrong, constantly, while she struggles to make things go right. The events of the book are interesting, nothing repetitive or annoying. Ends on a decent note.
The other readers at book club had trouble getting through this story. They found it slow and it wasn’t really anyone’s “thing”.
If you enjoy fun, light, romantic comedies, give this book a try. If not, then I’d avoid it. Personally, I give it a 2 out of 5 stars.

Freeboard in a canoe is the amount of canoe sticking out of the water.
In rough water there is more going on with a canoe than the average paddler might consider. A canoe with more wetted surface, that is, the bottom of the canoe which is supported by water as the canoe floats on it, will generally float higher than a canoe with less wetted surface. The amount of freeboard that is built into the canoe along with the canoe’s ability to rise on the water’s surface (bouyancy) are the two important factors if you like to stay dry.
A canoe caught broadside to big waves and without realistic freeboard can be a big problem especially if the canoe isn’t a bouyant.
Narrow racing-oriented canoes with shallow-arched bottoms tend to settle into the water deeper when carrying a payload like camping and fishing gear. If that canoe was designed with low freeboard to begin with, it’s going to sit even lower in the water with weight in it. If the canoe is narrow such that the bow seat paddler can’t put both feet side by side in front of him, this canoe will tend to resist riding up with the waves of the lake. Instead, the waves will tend to ride up around the canoe as opposed to lifting it upward because this more “knifelike” hull doesn’t resist the water but instead accepts it. As a result it is less bouyant and less vertically responsive. For racing-oriented canoes which will not be carrying a big load, that may be OK if you don’t mind the increased chances of getting wet. This type of hull will do very well on a calm day. Add a little significant wind and you’ll be riding an unfamiliar, much less predictable canoe.
With regards to decreased bouyancy, several different Brand X kevlar canoes out there are notorius for taking on water from the place you’d least suspect: the stern. Designers of racing-oriented canoe hulls don’t appear to take into consideration that a following sea with big waves can be just as bad and sometimes worse than heading into the wind and waves. Heck, anybody who has real experience in a boat with a motor (that is an actual boat, not the term used for canoes by hip wannabes) in rough water going with the wind knows or learns rather quickly that you need to watch so that you don’t sink the bow under a big wave or have a big wave that’s curling behind you force it’s way over the back of the boat at the same time. You also cannot travel too fast or too slow – well you can, but you’ll run into huge problems really quickly from either end. A canoe is no different and canoe hulls that don’t ride up and over waves will get in trouble VERY quickly from the bow OR the stern. Don’t believe me? Just sit up on Bailey Bay of Basswood Lake when it’s rough and watch the Brand X kevlar canoes and the Souris Rivers cross the water with a big, following northwest wind. Then see which canoes get helped out by passing boats if they’re lucky (again, meaning actual boats here). If you still cannot figure it all out by watching which kevlar canoes go down and which make it across high and dry, there is no helping you. And yes, I am fully aware that several other canoes can and do make it across rough waters, it’s just that I also know that SR’s tend to do a better job with a lot less dunkings.
A canoe with more surface area resting on the water will ride up in waves. It also helps if that canoe has shallow arching on the ends that aid in lifting the bow and stern as need (and the arch adds secondary stability as well). With a sharp knife entry/exit in the stems (the very ends of the canoe) followed by shallow arching, the canoe’s ability to ride up and over waves as opposed to becoming a submarine is increased. Add all this up with realistic freeboard to start and you have a canoe that’s worth owning if you are a non-racer and like to actually use the canoe in a variety of conditions.
And for the last time, just because you’ve paddled a Brand X kevlar for one 5-day trip and never run into these types of problems before doesn’t mean that you’ll never encounter them. It’s only a matter of time.

Today I was on Facebook and I was reminded of one the great truths of the modern miracle we call the internet. But it wasn’t about how much valuable information could be shared across the world or how many new avenues for business could be opened up via the web, but rather an ongoing observation that at times has me shaking my head in disbelief.
If you are a woman and put a picture or video of yourself in public, eventually some guy will come along and hit on you.
If you post it they will come.

Our first week in the Ontario Legislature Internship Programme was filled with a flurry of meetings with interesting conversations and learning about all aspects of the legislature. One meeting that stood out was meeting the Speaker of the House – Dave Levac.
Levac has been considered, “one of the most effective Speakers in recent memory.” When asked what characteristics an effective Speaker must have, Levac identified different traits: impartiality; the recognition that all members have obligations; and a positive attitude. These qualities were reflected during our meeting, where Levac discussed his work on Sabrina’s Law. As a former educator and principal in Brant, Levac explained that a student suffered from antaphlatic shock. He recognized that Ontario did not have a uniform process to address this, and that students deserved better. As such, Levac was a proponent for Sabrina’s Law, which was implemented in the United States. As such, Levac’s advocacy has cross-jurisdictional effect. It must be noted that this was not simple, and Levac advocated for five-years. Thus, Levac identified that navigating politics was similar to, “waltzing gracefully on a moving carpet.” The interns have reached a consensus that Levac has mastered the art of “waltzing gracefully,” and look forward to future interactions with Levac.
Levac also emphasized the necessity of truth, which can be interpreted in the context of Canadian history. In other words, speaking truth to power. This was fundamental for establishing a positive relationship with the indigenous population. Levac argued that relationship building is predicated on the truth– this establishes trust amongst people.
Levac began by introducing the role of the Speaker, stressing the principle of impartiality and going through some of the challenges and responsibilities of his role. Throughout the meeting, the speaker created a friendly atmosphere, allowing us to have more of a conversation rather than a question period. During our conversation, Levac strongly emphasized the power of relationship-building and community building. We left the Speaker’s office with laughs, new knowledge and most importantly a strong understanding of the role and duties of the Speaker.

Things keep getting better and better. Our programs were awesome and field trips went well. Our team of teachers work well together and am looking forward to an even better year next year.
Love the kids!!! Love the other teachers!!! The willingness to help each other out is amazing. You never have to go through anything alone. I love the spirit of God that flows through the school. I am becoming a better person because of all of these things. Thank you!!!
I appreciate the administrative and office support, and I enjoy the ladies I work with.
I feel supported in all ways because the principal makes it a goal of hers for us to feel that way.
The staff are here for the right reasons (the kids) and they all seem to love their jobs. It's a very friendly work place. We all feel appreciated. The principal does a great job leading us in a positive way.
Great atmosphere not only for students also teachers! Upbeat and Christ centered.
God has blessed our school with so many wonderful ladies. We are truly a family and always there for one another.
FIRST GRADE TEACHER - We will certainly miss Mrs Knibbe, but she has earned her retirement! Her class size is about 16 students and there is a full-time aide. No state mandated testing, no forced accommodations, and a real family-oriented atmosphere. See pages 3-4 of the below job descriptions for more information.
SECOND GRADE TEACHER - We will certainly miss Mrs Jones, but she has earned her retirement, having been at FBS since we opened!! Her class size is about 16 students and there is a full-time aide. No state mandated testing, no forced accommodations, and a real family-oriented atmosphere. See pages 3-4 of the below job descriptions for more information.
RECESS TEACHER - Cover recesses for K-5th grade. Sometimes, during bad weather, recess is held in the hall and they watch movies and play board games.
TUES/THURS PREK DAYCARE WORKER - The hours would be from 7:30am-5:00pm. Likely with 18 kids in our big PreK room with an aide.

Students seeking the opportunity to complete their Master degree faster now have the chance. Through the BA-MPP Linked Program, students can start work in the field of public policy sooner than a traditional two-year graduate program would allow. Michigan State University’s Departments of Political Science and Economics have come together to create a comprehensive five-year Linked Bachelor and Master in Public Policy Degree Program.
The Linked program caters to students who want to pursue professional careers in policy analysis, program management, and policy advocacy. How it works is by allowing MSU undergraduates to apply up to 9 approved credits from the undergraduate level to their Master degree requirements, or vice versa.
The MPP Linked program has come with great excitement as its candidates have found many benefits to taking this route.
“In these few short weeks with the MPP program, I have been surrounded by great people and there has already been multiple opportunities to expand my knowledge of different policy issues. I look forward to seeing what all the program has to offer,” said Alexa Malesky.
Since the linked BA-MPP program’s start in 2011, there has been overwhelming positive feedback from both faculty and staff. The Linked program has provided a pathway to combining both undergraduate and grated level work to effectively place students on a track for success in the field of public policy.
If you are interested in learning more about MSU’s MPP Linked program, please visit: (http://polisci.msu.edu/index.php/mpp-program/prospective-students/linked-ba-mpp-program) or contact Professor Valentina Bali at Baliv@msu.edu.

BBC Breakfast's Dan Walker has started a new feud with Good Morning Britain's Piers Morgan on Twitter.
It's the third time this month the two grown men have taken shots at each other on social media, and this time it was over a most talked about TV shows list.
On Twitter, Piers shared a photo of The Times' list of Britain's most-discussed shows and wrote: "ICYMI: @GMB is 3rd most talked about show on British TV. No sign of @BBCBreakfast or @BBCMOTD. #awks cc @mrdanwalker @GaryLineker."
Responding to Piers, Dan tweeted: "Last week you were ‘celebrating’ coming a distant 2nd in the ratings to #BBCbreakfast and now you’re happy with 3rd. If you had standards... they’d be slipping. You’re like a televisual Wenger."
Their latest exchange comes just days after Piers revealed GMB's year-on-year ratings on Twitter, showing they had gained viewers, while BBC Breakfast (which still has more viewers) had lost a percentage of their audience.
Dan then responded to Piers, telling him: "In summary, ITV have spent a fortune.
"You advertise like there’s no tomorrow. You make it all about you while we are a team. The wonderful fella before me had done the job for 15 years... And we still get double your audience."
The pair also clashed earlier this month after BBC Breakfast suffered a technical fail that pulled them off the air.

It’s a beautiful Autumn morning here at the Sailing Club; I’ve been walking along the shore admiring all of nature’s bounty in the trees…filled with pinecones just waiting to fall; the shrubs brimming with berries of red…purple…blue.
I’ve already polished off my first cup o’ joe…and I’m hankering for another. Little Blanca, our bratty schnauzer, didn’t mind me sharing my cold tamale with her; we both like ’em that way.
I hear another dog—not qute as content as my little dog laying quietly beside my chair—barking off in the distance…over across the cove. I feel the breeze brushing my hair, the sun on my face. I hear the wind rustling the leaves on the half-bare trees, the waves lapping ashore. And all is right in my world.
Nico and Baby sleep soundly inside our old camper van, though I know I don’t have much longer to be alone with my thoughts. I think I hear a rustling inside…baby is now waking. My morning is fast-turning into day. I sigh a farewell to peaceful morning.
Blessings to all this Sunday.

My grandfather, the late Andrzhei Antonovich Dzialtvo, fled Lithuania with his family around 1902, when he was about four years of age. It was during one of Russia’s periodic invasions of countries around it, which Russia has engaged in as a regular hobby long before Europe even noticed the Americas existed.
It’s also long-known that asking the Czar – whatever he goes by, Czar, General Secretary, President, or Prime Minister – to stop invading gives the guy a good belly laugh.
The President of the United States of America should, by Executive Order, immediately declare a suspension of all trade with the Russian Republic.
That will get Vladimir Putin’s attention. Calling for meetings and asking politely has not worked for dealings with Russia in over a millennium, and it obviously is not going to work now.
When I called Rep. Smith’s office, I was told that the Congress couldn’t do anything because Speaker Pelosi has declared a recess; I pointed out that the Representative was quite good at holding press conferences and could issue a public statement calling for these measures from the executive branch of the US government. Senator Lautenberg’s office was a little more encouraging, and the staffer had a good laugh when I told him about Rep. Smith’s staffer trying to blame Speaker Pelosi for a possible inability for Rep. Smith to say anything publicly.

So it has been almost 2 months since I last posted anything. Let me catch you up on what’s been happening…just give me a second…I’m sure there’s been something…Nope I got nothing. Not one thing. Two months have passed, and I can’t really remember much about them. I have been utterly lost in life. Does that ever happen to you?
This is not the good kind of “lost.” The kind where you just get so caught up in the moment, caught up in living that things like blogs and email and social media fall by the wayside. That kind of lost (which I don’t even think of as lost, so much as I do just truly living) is ok. More than ok. That kind of lost is simply perfection. What more could anyone ask than to be so entirely immersed in your own life that you forget to play commentator?
What I have been doing? It has not been that. That kind of living involves conscious appreciation for each moment that you’re experiencing. It involves being in the moment and knowing that you’re in the moment and loving the fact that you’re in the moment. I’m grateful to have had many times like that (I even blogged about my last one) in the past, and I’m sure I’ll have many more in the future. But that is not what has been going on the last two months.
As I said before, I have been lost. I know that I’ve worked. I’ve played. I’ve cleaned. I’ve loved. I’m sure I even enjoyed a large part of May and June. But I don’t really feel it. You know? It’s just one of those times when you look up and go, “it’s almost July? When did that happen?” I have just been caught up in the daily grind.
There. I said it. I started to edit myself, but then I thought “why?” What better way to describe the feeling that your life is a chore? There isn’t one. I typed and retyped and nothing. else. worked. So there it is. You can love it or hate it, but you can’t deny the truth that sometimes only an f-bomb will do. And this is definitely one of those times. At least for me it is. You see, I live my life fairly loosey-goosey. I’m not big on structures and schedules. I like to take what life throws at me and run with it.
Dinner at 8 instead of 6 so we can capture the fading sunlight? Yes!
Cancelled date with dirty clothes and dirty floors so we can have a bonfire with the family? Absolutely!
Bedtime moved back to 11 because the lightning bugs were begging to be chased? Fantastic!
These are the things that make me happy. These are what make me really feel my life down in my bones. And sometimes a schedule just gets in the way of all that. Call me a hippy, but I just love LIFE. I love my family, my friends, my job. I love doing everything and doing nothing. I enjoy it all. So you can see why it feeling like a chore pisses me off so much.
I know I said I snapped myself out of it, but I have to give a shout out to my friend at work. He just would NOT STOP asking me about my blog. He kept it front and center in my mind, which lead to the whole U-Turn epiphany and to this blog, which has now turned into the longest “Hello!” in the world. Thanks for not letting me give it up!
Today has been a day that reminded me, more than once, why I chose the name “My Household DISorder.” Note the emphasis on the “dis.” Scratch that. This week has reminded me why.
I don’t know if my kids have become messier or if I’ve been lazier, but for whatever reason, I just can’t keep up this week. My house is a disaster. For every one thing I pick up, three more materialize on the floor. I know what you’re thinking parents. “That’s just having kids. Nothing special.” My response? I know it always seems that way, but I swear to god it’s ACTUALLY happening in my house this week.
I’ve also been experiencing a little “case of the melancholies” as I like to call it. This means that instead of the mess spurring me into a cleaning frenzy, it has beaten me down. I’ve been stomped into a catatonic state of “I don’t give a damn.” This week has stolen all my mom magic that allows me to be a human punching bag. I am defeated. Knocked out. Life is the champion this round.
Given this information you have probably figured out that there hasn’t been a lot of kitchen action this week. I’ll spare you the details, but just know this: Ham sandwiches and bananas. For dinner. Last night. Yeah… Because of this new low, I decided I should get back in the ring tonight and actually feed my family. I should have just stayed down for the count.
Since it’s Cinco de Mayo, I decided to make quesadillas. (The fact that they require almost no work and are done in like, 2 seconds, had nothing to do with it. Promise.) I was about to get started in the kitchen when I got a phone call. Since the kids were happily playing in J’s bedroom, I switched the burner right back off and stepped into the living room to take the call. Having lulled me into a false sense of security, my darling children chose this moment to act.
I came back into the kitchen to discover the loaf of bread COVERED in mustard. My kids somehow (don’t you wish we could ever know how?!) managed to silently sneak into the kitchen, silently open the child locked refrigerator, silently retrieve the bread from the counter, and silently squeeze half the bottle of yellow mustard onto it. My hearing is admittedly pretty terrible, but this seems impossible. I mean, I live in a double wide for crying out loud! My living room is literally right next to the kitchen! And yet, they made it happen.
My small silver lining was that at least the bread wasn’t ruined. The mustard was only covering the plastic. Except that it wasn’t. My brilliant (read:devious) little angels had poked little angel finger sized holes in the plastic first. And then had squeezed the not so little amount of mustard onto the bag. Where it proceeded to seep perfectly into the entire loaf of bread.
I surprisingly still made the quesadillas. Which J promptly turned into quesadilla soup all over the dining room table when he poured out his cup. Apparently, my small Cinco de Mayo celebration of quesadillas for dinner wasn’t enough for my kids. They have decided to throw their own party. One in which they release all their inner demons. Is it Cinco de Seis yet?????
Did I mention I started this day by accidently calling my boss? At 2:32 this morning? Oh yeah, it happened. It’s a good thing that I’ve known him practically forever. And that we are good friends. And that my whole store team is like one big family. I mean, could you imagine if it wasn’t??? But still, what a way to kick off my day.
So, last night I finally made the orzo pasta. It was an ordeal and not even worth the effort. I got a late start, which meant I was rushing. This is never a good thing. Speed is my friend in every other aspect of life, but in the kitchen? It only ever leads to pain and suffering.
Needless to say, I was not remotely in the mood to eat by the time the dust had settled and dinner was done. Here’s the end result.
At this point an old adage comes to mind. “Looks can be deceiving.” TRUE. Very, very true. I did not like this one bit. I’m really weird about texture, and this was just mushy and gross. Luckily, my family is not as discerning, and the kids and husband were able to eat it just fine. Me on the other hand? I feasted on gourmet pastries in the twilight of the evening. Which is to say, I grabbed some Poptarts around 9:00 when the anger finally subsided enough for me to feel hungry.
I think S is trying to become the next IPhone photo phenom. She is constantly taking pictures, and gets bent out of shape if her “subject” isn’t cooperating. For example, last night she was having a photo session and decided to get a little artsy. She carefully placed a water bottle just so on an end table and began snapping pictures. J kept knocking the bottle off. S had an all out artistic fit, frustrated tears, yelling, and desperate attempts to make J understand the importance of said bottle included. Did I mention she’s just barely three?
So, I didn’t attempt the orzo past yesterday. The sky was just too blue and the sun just too bright. I HAD to be outside! So after picking my kids up, we played and played outside. By the time we came in, it was after 6:00, and the thought of starting in on a dish was depressing. I didn’t want to spoil the warm, cozy mood the sunshine had lent us, so frozen pizzas were popped in the oven. And I don’t even feel bad about it.
This will be an ongoing problem as we get deeper into warm weather. You see, I thrive on sunshine. Ask anyone who knows me, and they’ll tell you. Too many days of rain in a row, and I turn into a depressed, cynical Wednesday Adams caricature. I’m practically unbearable towards the end of winter. January and February really should not exist on my calendar. So when the sun finally comes to save me, I soak it up like a dried up flower after a drought.
In fact, we are headed out to picnic at the park right now. It’s another gorgeous day just begging for attention. I’ve spent the morning cleaning, and responsibility can hold me no more. My floors are vacuumed and mopped, and the laundry is moving right along. The kids were little angels and helped me pick up, so we’ve all earned a break. Also, the thought of letting J and S “feed” the sparkling clean kitchen floor gets my blood boiling. So out for a picnic lunch we go! *It may be a slightly selfish reason for taking them out, but a moms gotta do what a moms gotta do. And hey, everyone wins here!
Hopefully I’ll feel up to attempting the pasta when we get home. If not it’s going to be PB & J and grapes for dinner. We will just have to see where the sunshine takes me today.
Once again, it’s time for lists and grocery stores. What I really should be doing is planning that out. Instead, I’m going to choose to ignore the dwindling supply of food in my house. At least we will be fully stocked up on vitamin D!!
Well, it finally happened. I have suffered a defeat in the kitchen. Although if I’m honest, it took much longer than expected. I fully believed I would fail from day one, so to have made it this far before this happened is a victory in itself. And thank God for that! I know myself, and if I hadn’t bolstered my confidence with all my previous success, I would be an angry hot mess right now. I would send the family away to find dinner, slam around cleaning while shouting some explicit phrases at EVERY SINGLE (insert choice word) PAN, and go to bed seething and starving. Luckily, that didn’t have to happen this time. I mean, I have spent years learning not to be a sore loser, but when it comes to the kitchen, all bets are off.
So let me break it down for you. I decided to attempt sweet potato and black bean taquitos with a side of mexican seasoned rice. The recipe in itself didn’t seem too complicated, and I thought I could just cook up some rice and season it myself to pair with the taquitos. That should have been my first indication that things were amiss, me thinking I could fly solo on something. I missed the sign though, and so started in on prepping the taquitos. It was a battle from the get go. You see, sweet potatoes are kind of hard to peel and dice. At least, the two monster size ones I had picked out were. I wasn’t prepared for it, and it set the tone for the rest of the evening.
I finally got them all cubed up and the beans rinsed and drained, only to realize that I didn’t have the corn the recipe called for. “Small hiccup,” I thought. “I’m sure they will be fine without it.” I continued on with the cheese and seasonings, got the filling all mixed, and lay out my pan to start rolling. By this point, the prep has taken me twice as long as expected (why can’t I learn that those little numbers on recipes lie?!), the kids are screaming, and I don’t even want to eat dinner. But I soldiered on, hastily rolling the taquitos and popping them in the oven. I then got to work on the rice.
It’s well known that rice can be finicky. I have cooked real rice, meaning not pre-seasoned instant rice, only one time before today. For this reason I should not have been as confident as I was. Instead, I chose to make not one but two cups of rice, thinking it would be so good we would all want seconds. I was wrong. I messed up the cooking, did not add anywhere near enough seasoning, and then tried to fix the disaster by adding cheese to make it “cheesy mexican rice.” I didn’t even want to try a bite, but I forced myself to. It wasn’t edible. AT ALL. It was a mushy disgusting mess. The two toddlers would not even touch this stuff.
So our dinner consisted of slightly bland taquitos and nothing else. I managed to mess those up too by not following the recipe closely enough. I thought I could just season them myself instead of taking the time to measure everything out. Again, I was wrong. They were at least edible though, and I think the recipe is a keeper if I were to follow it to the letter. Although after my defeat today, I’m sure it will be a while before I can bring myself to try them again.
Today marked the official end of my winning-at-life streak. I’m hoping things simply go back to normal. That I just return to being unlucky and carry on my merry way. That the universe does not exact karmic revenge for my winning times to balance things out. I’ll keep you posted.
Welcome to the new site! I shocked myself today by actually following through with my plans to revamp the blog this week. It is still a work in progress, but I’m happy with what I’ve done so far. You see, despite the fact that I started a blog, I am not tech savvy in the least. It took me far longer than I’d like to admit (an undisclosed number of hours, yes hours, as in more than just one) to get what I have so far updated onto the page. Several times I thought I had something done correctly, only to go view my page and see none of the changes. I finally managed to get it all sorted out, and here are the results! Let me know what you guys think!
I also scored a HUGE win with dinner tonight. It was time to try another new recipe, so I opted for Lemon and Old Bay seasoned Tilapia. I have never cooked anything other than fish sticks before, but I was not as scared as I thought I would be to try this. Maybe it was because the picture on Pinterest looked so good. I was just ready to try it! I paired it with another new Pinterest find, parmesan zucchini and corn. Take a look!
That’s right, this dinner was good enough to warrant a picture! I mean, I really outdid myself this time guys! I recommend everyone trying both of these sometime because they were both ridiculously delicious. And if you aren’t a fish eater, at least go make the zucchini and corn side dish. I promise you, you’ll thank me. I could have eaten the entire bowl!
So today has been just full of successes! And these are coming just behind 3 other major winning moments!! I was champion gamer at Friday game night with my friends. I FINALLY beat my brother at Munchkin on Sunday and Monday I won a contest for the first time in my life! I am currently on a major life upswing, and I’m loving it!! Let’s see how far it can take me!
but today was the day. I absolutely HAD to go to the grocery store. I knew it when I went to bed last night, and it was the first thing I thought about when I woke up this morning. I thought that was only supposed to happen with things you love, but I guess any strong emotion (hate, loathing, despair) can do it. I know I should stop complaining about how much I hate grocery shopping, especially since it isn’t something I can stop doing, but it seems to help me get through it. I’m hoping that one outcome of this journey I’m on will be a lessening of my hatred for anything grocery related, but until then you’ll just have to bear with me.
So the morning started off tainted, and only got worse from there. I managed to find two packets of oatmeal in my bare cupboards, so the kids did at least get breakfast. Unfortunately, they both decided the floor was hungry and needed half of each of their bowls. And apparently getting mopped can really wear a floor out, so J helped quench its thirst with his entire cup of milk. Yep, we really got off to a roaring start this morning.
While all this floor feeding was going on, I was struggling through my menu and list. I have to admit, it actually wasn’t too bad this time. Since I’ve kind of been slacking the last few weeks, I decided to make this a week full of new recipes. This makes my planning easier, as I just go through Pinterest and pick out things that look good and that I think I can execute. Everything’s a trade off though, because an easier menu planning/list writing week usually means a harder week in the kitchen. I’m sure I’ll have lots to talk about.
Between the cleaning and the list making, I was done before I’d even left for the store, but as I’ve already pointed out, I could avoid this no longer. So I packed up the kids and headed out. I managed to get a good 10 minutes away from my house when it hit me. I had spent over an hour forcing myself to create a list and then promptly left said list at home. At this point I was too pissed off about the whole situation to shop without it, so I turned around and headed back home. There’s nothing like a little anger to really get me motivated, so I snatched up the list and booked it to the store. I shopped with a fury raging inside and finished in record time.
It’s really sweet when your 3 year old tries to clean up the mess for you. It’s not so sweet when what she picks up off the dirty clothes hamper to clean with is a white t-shirt. Your favorite white t-shirt. Your only white t-shirt that you’ve been able to keep white. Until now that is.

Sermon Sunday – Richard Baxter – Ministers of Love | Get the Word out!
The dominion of love in the hearts of Christians, appearing in all the course of their lives, doth much glorify God and their religion.—I mean a common hearty love to all men, and a special love to holy men, according to their various degrees of loveliness. Love is a thing so agreeable to right reason, and to sociable nature, and to the common interest of all mankind, that all men commend it; and they that have it not for others, would have it from others. Who is it that loveth not to be loved? And who is it that loveth not the man that he is convinced loveth him, better than him that hateth him, or regardeth him not? And do you think that the same course, which maketh men hate yourselves, is like to make them love your religion?
Love is the powerful conqueror of the world. By it God conquereth the enmity of man, and reconcileth to himself even malignant sinners; and by it he hath taught us to conquer all the tribulations and persecutions by which the world would separate us from his love; yea, and to be “more than conquerors through Him that loved us,” and thereby did kindle in us our reflecting love; (Rom. 8:34-38;) and by it he hath instructed us to go on to conquer both his enemies and our own; yea, to conquer the enmity rather than the enemy, in imitation of himself, who saveth the sinner, and kills the sin; and this is the most noble kind of victory. Every soldier can end a fever or other disease by cutting a man’s throat, and ending his life; but it is the work of the physician to kill the disease, and save the man. The scandalous pastor is for curing heresy in the Roman way, by silencing sound preachers, and tormenting and burning the supposed heretics; or at least to trust for the acceptance and success of his labours to the sword. And if that which will restrain men from crossing the pastor, would restrain them from resisting the Spirit of God, and constrain them to the love of holiness, it were well; then the glory of conversion should be more ascribed to the magistrate and soldier than to the preacher.
But the true pastor is armed with a special measure of life, light, and love, that he may be a meet instrument for the regenerating of souls, who by holy life, and light, and love, must be renewed to their Father’s image. Every thing naturally generateth its like, which hath a generative power. And it is the love of God which the preacher is to bring all men to that must be saved; this is his office, this is his work, and this must be his study; he doeth little or nothing if he doeth not this.
Souls are not sanctified till they are wrought up to the love of God and holiness; and, therefore, the furniture and arms which Christ hath left us in his word, are all suited to this work of love. We have the love of God himself to preach to them, and the love of a humbled, dying and glorified Redeemer; and all the amiable blessings of heaven and earth to open to them, and all the loving promises and invitations of the gospel: and must not our hearts, our ministry, and our lives, be answerable to all this? Believe it, it must be a preacher whose matter and manner of preaching and living doth show forth a hearty love to God, and love to godliness, and love to all his people’s souls, that is the fit instrument to glorify God by convincing and converting sinners.
God can work by what means he will; by a scandalous, domineering, self-seeking preacher; but it is not his ordinary way. Foxes and wolves are not nature’s instruments to generate sheep. I never knew much good done to souls by any pastors, but such as preached and lived in the power of love, working by clear convincing light, and both managed by a holy, lively seriousness. You must bring fire, if you would kindle fire. Trust not here to the Cartesian philosophy, that mere motion will turn another element into fire. Speak as loud as you will, and make as great a stir as you will, it will be all in vain to win men’s love to God and goodness, till their hearts be touched with his love and amiableness, which usually must be done by the instrumentality of the preacher’s love. “Let them hate me, so they do but fear me and obey me,” is the saying of such as set up for themselves, (and but foolishly for themselves,) and, like Satan, would rule men to damnation. If love be the sum and fulfilling of the law, love must be the sum and fulfilling of our ministry. But yet by “love” I mean not flattery: parents do love as necessarily as any, and yet must correct; and God himself can love, and yet correct; yea, “he chasteneth every son that he receiveth.” (Heb. 12:6, 7.) And his love consisteth with paternal justice, and with hatred of sin, and plain and sharp reproof of sinners: and so must ours; but all, as the various operations of love, as the objects vary.
And what I say of ministers, I say of every Christian in his place. Love is the great and the “new” commandment; that is, the last which Christ would leave, at his departure, to his disciples. O, could we learn of the Lord of love, and Him who calleth himself Love itself, to love our enemies, to bless them that curse us, and to do good to the evil, and pray for them that hurt and persecute us, we should not only prove that we are genuine Christians, the children of our heavenly Father, (Matt. 5:44, 45,) but should heap coals of fire on our enemies’ heads, and melt them into compassion and some remorse, if not into a holy love. I tell you, it is the Christian who doth truly love his neighbour as himself; who loveth the godly as his co-heirs of heaven, and loveth the ungodly with a desire to make them truly godly; who loveth a friend as a friend, and an enemy as a man that is capable of holiness and salvation. It is he that liveth, walketh, speaketh, converseth (yea, suffereth, which is the great difficulty) in love, and is, as it were, turned, by the love of God shed abroad upon his heart, into love itself; who doth glorify God in the world, and glorify his religion, and really rebuke the blasphemer that derideth the Spirit in believers, as if it were but a fanatic dream.
And it is he that by tyranny, cruelty, contempt of others, and needless proud singularities and separations, magisterially condemning and vilifying all that walk not in his fashion, and pray not in his fashion, and are not of his opinion, where it is like enough he is himself mistaken, that is the scandalous Christian; who doeth as much against God, and religion, and the church, and men’s souls, as he doeth against love. And though it be Satan’s way, as an angel of light, and his ministers’ way, as ministers of righteousness, to destroy Christ’s interest by dividing it, and separate things which God will have conjoined, and so to pretend the love of truth, the love of order, or the love of godliness or discipline, against the love of souls, and to use even the name of love itself against love, to justify all their cruelties, or censures, and alienations; yet God will keep up that sacred fire in the hearts of the sound Christians which shall live and conquer these temptations, and they will understand and regard the warning of the Holy Ghost: “I beseech you, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them,” in their sinful, dividing, offensive ways. “For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ,” though they may confidently think they do, “but their own belly,” or carnal interests, though perhaps they will not see it in themselves; “and by good words and fair,” or by “flattering speeches, deceive the hearts of the simple.” (Rom. 16:17, 18.) The word is twn akakwn, hominum minime malorum, “no bad men,” or “harmless, well-meaning men;” who, in case it be not to mortal errors, perhaps may be in the main sincere, and may be saved when their stubble is burnt; but whether sincere or not, they are scandals in the world, and great dishonourers of God, and serve Satan, when they little think so, in all that they do contrary to that universal love by which God must be glorified, and sinners overcome.

What should we lament when pusillanimous professors still exist in Venezuela? Where they speak of a kind of hope, which postpones the urgency to resolve a major humanitarian crisis; a crisis that involves approximately 27 million nationals strangled by a Narco-state, ruled by criminals. Where is our compassion to them, when they can only await for the right moment to a critical epiphany, crushed in their dignity, while having their tail between their legs, like dogs terrified by a beast, as cruel as the one, who oppresses them until their last icy breath.
If some of you remembered the bitcom proposition and the mini gold ingots-of which the beast Masburra echoed until not long ago-; it could then be understandable and even clearly intuitive-without a great surplus of insight-that behind such a financial entanglement, anti-utopian, laid the shadow of Putin’s conspiratorial strategy, embraced with atavistic enthusiasm, and encouraged by its extensive regime of Russian quasi-corporate mafias, as well as the Cuban medieval proxy, the G2—and its ancillary guerrillas “de la’ FARC”— as well as ISIS, with the singular purpose of replacing the dollar and the euro by a system of exchange in favor of those who were past and present the heirs of the KGB.
Much more deliberative and worse than the Gestapo itself, mid-century, these present Russian mafias, the G2 and ISIS, in addition to being machines of death invested in armies and numeral corporations, represent the intelligentsia of an apocalyptic exchange system. This axis of a macabre exchange, which works and drills all the regions of the world with a high ideological radicalism, whose objective is to tear down our civilization, and from whose vision they think to seize a destructive and critical opportunity in favor of a greater power worldwide.
And one can reflect on what is so desirable to the Orthodox religions of Russia and the Middle East, or rather what they have in common by exploiting underdeveloped regions by massively starving them to death and that in such attrition they may open up in its wake the opportunity for an imperialist advance never before seen.

The day after it advanced to a fourth Champions League final in five years is no time to belittle Real Madrid. It is no time to suggest that the most prosperous team in the history of the competition, in the midst of that competition’s most dominant run, is anything less than spectacular. It is no time for defamation or aspersions, nor suggestions that Madrid doesn’t deserve its success.
But after Liverpool dispatched Roma to lock in a date with Real in Kiev, it is time to talk about vulnerability.
It is time to talk about vulnerability, because when Madrid goes for a third Champions League title in a row, and a fourth in five years, on May 26 at Ukraine’s Olympic Stadium, it will have to overcome an opponent that might as well be engineered to end its run.
Liverpool is the Kryptonite. It is the nemesis. Its style is Real Madrid’s Achilles Heel. Frame the final however you want, with whatever metaphor or cliché. Just don’t scoff at the notion. Don’t assume that Real Madrid’s past triumphs ensure one more.
Liverpool has a real chance to prevent the three-peat, because its up-tempo, “heavy-metal football” is the exact type to which Real has become susceptible. Against worthy opponents this year, Madrid has staggered like a king fighting with waning might to maintain control of his kingdom. It has survived, but shown more signs of weakness than ever.
A once-great midfield has become a liability. Its beautiful lack of structure has become a problem as players like Luka Modric have lost an ounce or two of physical ability. Never before in the Modric-Toni Kroos era has Madrid’s midfield line been so easy to break, and never before has it so often failed to seize control of games.
Los Blancos struggle, in particular, in transition. Kroos and Modric require freedom and options ahead of them. But their use of that freedom is problematic when they lose the ball. And those are precisely the times when Liverpool excels. Its high press forces turnovers. Its front three explode forward with menace. Wherever Madrid loses the ball, whether in the middle of the park or in the attacking third, it will have trouble cutting off supply to Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah. It will therefore have trouble stemming Liverpool’s counterattack.
There are possible alterations, available countermeasures for Real manager Zinedine Zidane to employ. He could play Marco Asensio and Lucas Vazquez as defensive wingers in a classic 4-4-2, with either Isco or Karim Benzema partnering Cristiano Ronaldo up top. But in that case, central channels would still be wide open.
He could go even more conservative, to a 4-5-1 with the two defensive wingers, Casemiro behind Modric and Kroos, and Ronaldo up top alone. But in that case, Real Madrid wouldn’t be Real Madrid. In theory, Madrid might prefer a slow, defensive slog. But such a game is so out of the ordinary for a club accustomed to superiority and attacking flair that it might not be feasible.
Zidane has sought this balance – between solidity and proactivity – throughout the European season, but hasn’t really been able to find it. Score lines have been deceiving. Real was on the back foot for at least half of its ties against PSG and Juventus, and all of its semifinal matchup with Bayern Munich.
The defending champs have won Champions League games at either end of the field. They have scored more ridiculous individual goals than anybody else, punished mistakes with more ruthlessness than anybody else, and saved themselves with more last-ditch defensive interventions. Ronaldo has been Ronaldo. Sergio Ramos, when not suspended, has been Sergio Ramos. Keylor Navas has been Good Keylor Navas.
Some would call Madrid’s success lucky. And they wouldn’t be wrong. It’s been a combination of luck and skill, just as almost all success is. Madrid has made use of opponent mistakes whereas others haven’t. And we should keep in mind that Liverpool has been prone to the very defensive slip-ups off of which Real has profited.
But Liverpool can also force errors at the other end as well as anybody in the world. The Reds have done it against Man City, soccer’s most domineering attacking unit. If they have their way – and there is little to suggest they won’t – they will turn the Champions League final into chaos. And they are far more equipped to win a chaotic, helter-skelter game than Real Madrid.

"Solvent-Responsive Metalloporphyrins: Binding and Catalysis" by Yibo Zhou, Eui-Hyun Ryu et al.
A cholate-functionalized tetraphenylporphyrin (H2CFTPP) was obtained by attaching eight cholate units at the meta positions of the phenyl rings. Zn(CFTPP) favored binding a hydrophilic pyridyl ligand over a hydrophobic analogue in nonpolar solvents such as 20% MeOH/CCl4 but had the reverse selectivity in 95% MeOH/CCl4. Tunability of the ligand binding resulted from the cholates that aggregated intramolecularly to form either unimolecular micelle-like or reversed micelle-like structures, depending on solvent polarity. The micelle-like structures appear to be less well organized than the reversed micelle-like conformations and might be induced by hydrophobic guests. The solvent-dependent intramolecular aggregation of cholates was used to tune the catalytic activity of an iron porphyrin derivative. Epoxidation catalyzed by Fe(CFTPP)Cl gave a selectivity of up to 10:1 for alkene substrates differing by only one or two hydroxyl groups.

Q: Would God cut down a major tel-co cable to use a workahollic in the salvation of His(and his) child?
Q: Would God fix the same cable after He is done with His work?
08:00pm - At bed time Nattie told me that she wanted to talk to Jen and me so that she can tell us that she wants to accept Jesus in her heart. I told her we would talk in the morning as it was late. She said as I was leaving the room "Tato, I want to become a christian".
11:50pm - I checked email from work and no problems. Internet connection was working.
06:00am - People at work were working with one of our airlines to setup live booking connectivity. This work had been scheduled over 2 weeks ago. I expected to be contacted in the morning for help due to problems.
07:30am - I got up to check email and the DSL was down. I called Bellsouth they told me that there was a reginal major cable cut, and it would take till wednesday night (17 Oct) to fix. So we had no phone service and thus no DSL. We had cell phones.
07:34am - People from work sent me an email about a serious problem that was holding the airline from going live with the new feature, I didn't get it as I had no phone/internet/email access.
08:31am - I called work to tell them I would be without internet connection for over a day. They told me about the problem; we came up with a solution in 10 seconds and I was off the phone.
08:45am - As I couldn't work without DSL, Jen and I sat down with Nattie and talked for about an hour about what the following means: salvation, repentance, sin, depravity, heaven, hell, works, grace, preseverance of the saints, end times, and more.
09:30am - Nattie prayed to tell God that she wants Jesus to live in her heart, if it be his will :). We prayed together.
09:35am - Nattie got up off the chair and came to hug Jen and me. While we were hugging, after being done with our talk, our home phone rang... the one that was supposed to be not working for the next day or more... I checked the phone, it had dial tone. I checked the DSL it was working.
10:04am - The airline notified us that the problem we needed to work on, was no longer an issue, so the time I would have spent in the morning fixing it, was not needed at all. The airline is now live with the new feature.

But the air is cool and refreshing on top of a moving bus! In Malaysia, you’d be promptly baked in two seconds if you were to try this under the blazing sun.
Why would anyone sit and look at London through the rain-blurred glass of a window? I’m beginning to wonder if the water here has stripped the tourists of their sense of adventure…or if it’s simply that I am a loon.

Chopping corn silage was just the start of fall harvest.
Both of these are a bit of an experiment, after the last two years of heavy erosion we need to find different ways to do some things. Hopefully these work!
I didn’t get many pictures of combining corn….sorry!
Harvest is pretty much wrapped up. We have just a couple of acres of replanted corn left to do, we will get that soon. We are still working on our dry cow barn, as the weather caught the concrete crew out a little bit. They should finish pouring this week.

How did the chopping go this spring? Just curious how you go about ‘harvesting’ the winter titrical (triticale?). Do you plant a crop in the same field after taking off the tritrical?

That is a question that we get asked A LOT here in the fabulous PDX region. And, well, one thing that makes PDX so darned fabulous is the answer to that question.
And, it is true. There is no one neighborhood that is a center of gravity to our LGBT communities. And, even better, you can find queer elements in almost every nook and cranny of this great town.
We realize that may not be helpful for the newbie in town who may want to know where to start their journey through gay Portlandia, so in that spirit, I present the Portland GayBorhood Guide. I’ll break it down by area and look at all the hot and cool LGBT stuff you need to know about, no matter where you might be in the 503 (or 360, for that matter).
In the relatively recent past, the gay scene was centered quite firmly downtown in the Stark Triangle, where a cluster of bars occupied the junction of Stark and Burnside. As Portland blossomed over the last couple of decades, the queer scene—just like many other movements—went micro-local and into the neighborhoods. These days, you can find locally roasted third wave coffee and neighborhood microbrews on nearly every corner, and you will just a likely find a queer resource on almost every block.
In each GayBorhood article, we will highlight the events, nightlife, businesses and community resources available. And, since some ‘hoods have more going on than others, we stamp our own highly subjective ranking on each area, which just might help you figure out where to start your journey.
We openly acknowledge that these guides may not be comprehensive, and that neighborhoods evolve, so we encourage you to chime in. Let us know what is going on in your own GayBorhood!

Description: A significant proportion of the Arabidopsis transcriptome is under endogenous circadian regulation, that is entrained by light-dark cycles (Reviewed in: Hall and McWatters 2005). These genes are associated with photosynthesis, metabolism, growth and photo-protection, amongst others. Hence, it is not surprising that the circadian clock has been shown as a key factor for plants fitness (Dodd et al. 2005), such that mutants which lack this endogenous control show a rather poor performance. In this experiment, we aim to investigate how important is the clock for plants growing at high temperatures, using WT (Col) and plants with no functional clock (cca1-ox line 038).Seeds were sown on Araflat (Arasystem, Betatech bvba, Gent, Belgium) filled with a 3:1 mixture of compost and perlite (John Innes compost No.2, KS Horticultural Products, Seaview Nurseries, Egremont, Cumbria) maintained at field capacity and containing 0.2g per l insecticide Intercept 70WS (The Scotts Company Ltd, UK), in 12L:12D cycles at 22ºC in growth chambers until two real leaves were developed (12 days) . They were then transplanted to 20 hole multicell half trays (MC20, Desch-Plantpak) containing the same soil and at the same temperature for three days to recover from the transplant stress. Finally, plants were transferred to either 12L:12D cycles (160 umolm-2s-1) and 17ºC or 27ºC. Plants, were grown for a further 7days at these two temperatures, until six to eight leaves were developed (developmental stage 1,6-1,8). At this point none of the plants had flowered.Plant material was collected one hour before dawn and one hour after dusk. A green safety light was used to harvest plants prior to dawn. We collected a composite sample of 10 plants for each treatment combination in total eight samples: 2 genotypes x 2 temperatures x 2 sample times.

I was going to say that I’ve been MIA but felt that would be disrespectful of the real MIA‘s from our military and others around the world. So I thought a nod to the Scarlet Johansson-Bill Murray movie was a better title.
Life has gotten in the way of my blog. Once things settle back down I will hopefully resume a more regular schedule. So what’s keeping me so busy? One word – Polaris! We are in the midst of migrating from our current Sirsi-Dynix ILS (Horizon) to Polaris. I’ve been given a great opportunity to coordinate all the training for over 240 FT and PT plus all the on-call staff. This means fitting all these people into 3 rounds of training in less than two months. This comes at one of the busiest times of the year for our library – just before Summer Reader! Children’s staff will be book promoting in the schools, then sign up of kids and summer reader begins about a month before we go live. I have to thank everyone who has been so flexible and understanding – we have a great library staff.
I’m enjoying the challenge and it wouldn’t be possible without Rachel Rappaport’s guidance. She is our training coordinator but she is about to have her hands really full with her latest project – a baby boy (she is due the end of this month)! Congrats ahead of time to Rachel and Jonathan – don’t worry about us just enjoy your new bundle of joy.
So if nothing new is posted here for awhile you’ll understand why. I will be attending Computers in Libraries 2010 this year and I will be blogging from there but after that it will be back to all Polaris all the time.
What’s the most important thing you learned in 2009?
This is a question posed by ALALearning on Twitter. I’ve been pondering it over the last several hours. I’m not one to normally do a review of the year gone by at the end of the year (although I know it is perfectly natural to do so). I was having a hard time answering the question.
To me learned implies that I’ve mastered it to some degree. I feel like I’m still learning photography (of course I am I’ve been doing it less than a year) so that couldn’t be my answer. I thought some more. I’m still learning so many things and even if I feel confident in them I don’t ever see myself as mastering them (which to me is a good thing as I think once you’ve mastered something you might rest on your laurels and not learn anything else).
While soaking in a hot bubble bath tonight (sorry for the TMI) I was reading “Eat, Pray, Love” by Elizabeth Gilbert. I came to a sentence on page 56 that just struck me. “Liz, you must be very polite with yourself when you are learning something new.” I had an ah-ha moment. The light bulb went off. As a trainer I feel that (and have been told as well) I’m very patient with folks learning new skills. However, I know for a fact that I’m not very patient (or polite) with myself when learning. I am impatient, I want to get to the next level, I want to master it (sounds ironic considering what I’ve said in the previous paragraph).
I think, no strike that I know it is my biggest stumbling block when it comes to my photography. I so want to be at a better level than I am yet I have failed to see that to get to it I need to learn all the little steps in between. I need to be more polite, more patient with myself when I’m learning something new. I need to remember the patience I have when a student has asked for the umpteenth time how to copy/paste – I grin and quietly, calmly instruct them once again on how to do it perhaps trying a different tactic so this time it sinks in for them.
So, although I still can not answer the question posed to me, I am hoping that the bath time revelation I had will prove to be something that I try to do when I’m learning something new. I need to treat myself as I would one of my students. So maybe next year I can answer that I’ve learned to be polite/patient with myself (and others) when learning something new.
I have the utmost respect for LibrarianbyDay but I’m going to have to disagree (again) with her latest blog post. She commented on this video too and feels that the average Joe doesn’t necessarily need to know what a browser is. Personally I think that is root of most computer problems – people (average Joe or not) don’t know ENOUGH about the machines they use.
Computers are pretty much a part of all of our lives. We use them at work, at home and they are in almost everything from our cars to our electronic equipment. I feel that people DO need to know not only what things are called but how to use them properly. I’m not saying we all need to be programmer and start writing code but it certainly wouldn’t hurt to have some computer competencies.
It is important to call things by the right name. If I call it a whatizt but it is actually a howzer you won’t understand what I’m talking about, you won’t be able to help me and I’ll just get frustrated. As someone who has to troubleshoot computer problems (which can often be user problems) nothing is more frustrating to both the user and me then when we can’t communicate. Some might say “but you are speaking techie” – no, I am not. I am known for using plain English but I will call things what they are (often followed by a short description or analogy so non-techies get it).
So let’s not perpuate this culture of not knowing what a browser or an operating system or anything else to do with these machines that are such a part of our lives. Let’s educate people in at least the basics of computer literacy. As a trainer I try to pass along nuggets every time I teach a class regardless of the main content. If they are using computers in the class I’m going to be sure they know the browser we use is Firefox, that tab browsing is fantastic way to make your life easier (CtrlT), keyboard commands, etc. I don’t think it is expecting too much of people that work with computers daily to know not only the correct words but some basic literacy when it comes to computers.
Great presenter, friend and all around fantastic trainer needs your help! Lori Reed, Employee Learning & Development Coordinator for the Public Library of Charlotte & Mecklenburg County, is calling all trainers, training coordinators, HR managers, directors, consultants, anyone who supports the training and learning function within libraries.
Take a moment to fill out her quick survey.
We both thank you in advance!
Now that I’ve had a chance to decompress, find my notes and get some email dealt with I thought I’d post about my presentation at CIL2009. I had the sincere pleasure of working with not only two talented professionals but two people I now consider good friends – Michael Sauers and Bobbi Newman. Our presentation dealt with training both staff and customers in regards to the wild, wonderful world of Web 2.0. More portion of the trilogy dealt with training the customer.
Here are a few links I promised I’d share with people – hope these help you to educate your customers about Web 2.0.

Inspired by a traditional gym, Art Gym offers visitors of all ages and abilities the chance to make a personal training programme, designed to learn new creative skills or develop existing ones.
Instead of kettlebells and treadmills, visitors can enjoy a wide range of classes, lectures, workshops and art stations teaching everything from traditional craft work to digital art production.Tate Collective and our gallery’s Visitor Assistant Team will act as Art Gym instructors, on hand to help you plan your creative workout.
Following Assemble’s Turner Prize success Tate Collective have invited the art, architecture and design collective to collaborate and co-design the gym-like environment. This multi-purpose space forms the heart of Art Gym and is custom built to host classes, workshops and lectures.
Speaking of reclaimed urban spaces interacting with their environment, It’s Nice That just flagged this wonderful and charmingly interactive installation on the corner of Mercer and Washington Place in Manhattan…Entitled Bird on a Wire, a pair of backlit storefront windows play home to an silhouetted flock of birds, perched on the windows’ sills and a projected telephone pole.
By calling the telephone number on the window, passers-by instantly set the individually animated birds to action, flapping and fluttering about the space, while the caller listens to the sounds of the flock on their phone.Simple and imminently playful, Bird on a Wire also reminds us, again, just how engaging interactions between urban and ‘natural’ environments can be.
In a world where work-induced stress is an increasingly common phenomenon, Philips has designed an experience prototype to tackle this problem. The Adaptive Relaxation Space immerses users in a dynamic environment where the area and soundscape adapt to their spatial configuration. Sensors underneath the floor trigger partitioning segments from the ceiling to enclose different areas, while ambient audio and light patterns also react to where users stand. By moving around, the design allows users to build their own individual space, one that has been created on an intuitive and subconscious level.
For this nature-inspired prototype, Philips was funded by the Dutch government’s Creative Industry Scientific Programme (CRISP). The design is initially aimed towards professionals that are commonly afflicted by stress, such as healthcare workers and teachers. Eventually the company hopes that the concept can also be adapted into stressful environments such as airports, mental healthcare facilities and hospitals. Philips has initiated this project as a part of its ongoing ambition to innovate in healthcare and wellbeing.
Reclaimed oak from Venetian canals encased in resin.
At rossana orlandi gallery during Milan design week 2014, Alcarol presents seven new pieces of their bricola collection.
The furniture series demonstrates the value of timber by using historical poles reclaimed from venetian canals.
The resulting pieces combine the experience of raw material processing with project research. The preserved oak log sections are encapsulated within blocks of transparent resin, highlighting the intricate voids created by the naval shipworm – a species of saltwater clams.
Forming networks of perfectly circular holes, the mollusk becomes the protagonist of the process, carving through the inner wood, while maintaining structural integrity.
The annual furniture china 2015 expo in shanghai puts a lot of emphasis on showcasing the creative industry and manufacturing developments in Asia, while also bringing to light creative innovations in other parts of the globe.one of the programme highlights is the ‘design of designers’ exhibition which is dedicated to promoting original design within china’s furniture industry.
This year saw 200 designers from 60 different firms, national / regional groups and professional academies presenting their work to the public. One of these was individual design studio who displayed their ‘heart of wood’ series. born out of the desire to try and understand the essence of wood, Ren Hongfei has envisioned a collection of small boxes and wall hangers that retain an organic feel, expressing the appearance of smooth stones.
The accessories celebrate wood and its natural beauty and how it can be used to subtly enhance our homes.
This new material is both rigid and flexible, creating exciting new possibilities as a material for architecture and interior design.
Wood-Skin’ is a recently developed composite material created by a four-person multi-disciplinary team in Milan.
complex and unconventional structures for architectural and interior roles.
A geologist took advantage of his digital mapping knowledge and started transferring digital satellite data into reliefs in wood using a CNC router. the essence and motivation behind the project is to give maps another dimension.
To do so, the digital satellite terrain data was converted into 3D models, adjusting scales to give an impressive look on wood.
The dark layers of glue on the plywood play the role of the isohypse lines as on topological maps. the maps result in an educative object for blind people but can be used by anyone.

At the fence, they have to overcome the razor-wire, automatic pepper spray and brutal authorities. After every failed attempt, they return to Mount Gurugú, scouring for food in the nearby villages, trying to uphold some sort of order in the camp and building up their confidence again. Some give up and return home, others never return from the fence. Looking through the lens, Abou gradually finds expression and meaning in his situation. “When filming I feel that I exist”. But after 16 months on the mountain, Abou is brought close to a tragic accident at the fence. Returning to Mali is not an option for him, and he becomes more determined than ever to pursue his dream of a better life in Europe.
LES SAUTEURS is Abou’s portrayal of the human struggle for dignity and freedom on one of the World’s most militarized frontiers.

Lütfi Ö. Akad, a.k.a. the pioneer director of Turkish cinema, produced his magnum opus trilogy in the theme of migration in early 1970s. In this first film, Akad tells the story of a nine-person, respectable craftsman-family, who migrate to Istanbul from the small Anatolian city of Yozgat, and their life struggle in the greater city of Istanbul. Thanks to their diligence, Hacı İlyas family wishes to expand their business, and open a new grocery store in an upscale neighborhood of Istanbul. Through the family’s economic ambitions, the film asks greater questions about the concept of sacrifice in immigrant lives, and depicts the causes of fading human values of immigrants in relation to patriarchy, feudalism and greediness.

If you are an NRI (Non-Resident Indian) working or residing in a foreign country, you may have contemplated investment options that India has to offer.
Before making an investment of any kind, it is always ideal to understand one's needs, financial goals and risk appetite. The same applies to buying an insurance policy in India.
Life Insurance- Endowment or Term?
If you have close dependent family members in India, it makes sense to invest in a life insurance policy. Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) allows NRIs and People of Indian Origin (PIOs) to buy a life insurance plan in India for the needs of their family.
While the size of the cover depends on your family's lifestyle and needs, it is always good to purchase a term insurance policy for this purpose as it does not make sense to purchase an endowment policy or ULIP that clubs savings and insurance. This is because these come with smaller life cover, low returns, and larger premium payments.
If your intention is to save there are plenty of options in the Indian market alone. You can even try your hand at saving options in the country of residence.
When it comes to buying a life insurance cover for your family, term insurance will do the job best.
Note that if you family resides with you, it is best to purchase a term insurance in the country of your residence and look for pure investment options in India instead.
How can an NRI buy an insurance policy in India?
The NRI does not need to fly to India to purchase it. It can be done online, instantly. However, sending medical reports over to India to complete the formalities may require incurring additional costs.
However, if you reside in a major city, there are chances that the insurance company has an international branch that you can visit to complete the documentation formalities.
Note that the country of residence is important in life insurance policies. The insurance company needs to know if you live in a country which is prone to civil war or epidemics and whether or not the profession you are in is life-threatening to decide the premium amount.
The premium for the policy can be paid online through an NRO bank account or NRE/FCNR bank account depending on the currency in which the policy is issued to you.
Should you invest in ULIPs?
In simple terms, Unit Linked Insurance Policies are a mix of life insurance and mutual funds. The proceeds towards a ULIP goes partially into life insurance and the rest is invested in equity based on your risk appetite.
These are not very flexible. You have limited options in the types of funds you can invest in and they come with a lock-in period of 5 years. You can invest in mutual funds in India instead. India being an emerging economy gives you a better chance at gaining higher returns on your investments (especially if you choose equity-linked MF) and you can choose from a wider range of products and fund managers. Additionally, if you are looking to save as well as buy a life cover, buy a term insurance policy and start a SIP with a MF house in India to get the most of both.
Tax filing and reporting could get complicated based on your country of residence as ULIPs invest in the Indian markets. While these are popular among Indian residents for their tax saving feature, you may have to report your earnings as 'investments made abroad' in your country of residence and in turn lose on earnings you make.
ULIPS comes with higher fees and charges.
If you looking for life insurance cover, this will be an expensive one (in terms of premium) with a relatively smaller cover that a term insurance policy can give your family.
Difference Between MF and ULIP. Which is Better?

Tomorrow is our League Cup match against Gillingham. I haven’t even bothered to see if this is on TV. With Kane injured, a thick schedule going forward, and an offseason of clearing out non-future starters, I expect our youth team to get a lot of run.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see Alderweirald in the back line for the first half just as an token of stability. Poche doesn’t tend to swap out his entire starting lineup. Whether that’s to keep a cohesive playing style or because he doesn’t trust his youngsters, I’m not sure. But as we’ve discussed before, League Cup matters to no one. I guess it would be good to win it but I think the payout is less than a week’s wages for the club so in the face of a $40-50M payout from Champions League, this is not the place to put our resources.
Gillingham, again from the above article, is pretty blah this season. They’re mid-table in the third division (League 1) and feature mostly over the hill players and one central playmaker, Bradley Dack. Dack will be playing his heart out hoping to get noticed by a big club, but we should be able to shut down their attack. Carroll, Erikson, and Onomah are all very creative players, and it will be good to see what N’Koudou can do (that’s satisfying to say out loud).
Hopefully out youth proves themselves worthy, we score early, and run the game out. This is a good chance for them to make their case for first team minutes. Given the cramping of Walker, Dier, and Dembele, the injury to Kane, and the possible shittiness of Sissoko, there will be minutes available in all bands of the pitch. Last year 4th choice defender Kevin Vimmer got an extended spell in relief of the injured Vertonghen and played like a boss. It’s really important for our depth and club finances to keep developing useful players that can step in and bang, or be sold for a profit. It’s an aspect of club Chairman, Daniel Levy’s financial strategy; buying young so they can either develop or be sold when their wages are cheap and their value on the rise.

The D-49 is much more than a Country-Music workhorse! The D-49 is well suited to the guitarist who accompanies him/herself or others in a mainly rhythm style of play, but also responds very well to flat-picking and finger picking styles of play. This guitar is responsive!
A $1000.00 deposit is required before the construction of your guitar can begin, and the balance must be paid in full before shipping. Prices quoted are for the production of your guitar only and DO NOT include shipping, handling, taxes or duties.
Currently the waiting period for delivery (after receipt of deposit) is approximately two years.
All of my instruments are warranteed against defects in materials and workmanship for as long as I remain active in lutherie.
Damage due to fair wear and tear, abuse, neglect, extremes of temperatures or humidity, or natural disaster are not covered under warranty.
Periodic maintenance is the responsibility of the owner and is a condition of warranty. Appropriate care accessories are included in the purchase of each instrument.

I was hoping John Madden would return when he learned that Brett Favre had signed with the Vikings. (I think Madden likes Favre more than I do, probably more than anyone!) Monday Night Football with Chris “it’s not cool to be proud of your country” Collinsworth is why I sometimes mute Madden on PS3 when playing it with my nephew! I can’t take his sarcastic, whiny, elitist babble for very long.
