Ah, the first actual issue…. | Bethy's Challenge Blog « September 2. September 3. » Ah, the first actual issue…. September 3, 2009 by bethyxfit For the morning and midday: one egg and a few cashews, and some sausage and an apple (I’m trying it on a day I’m not expecting to be running and bouncing around later..) and I believe there’s a small issue. One I’ve suspected for a few days, and have confirmed as best as I can. I think there’s a pressure crack in one of my molars. 😦 I’ve had a ‘wisdom’ tooth that’s needed to go, but it’s been a non-issue, so it was left. I suspect the pressure finally built up too far. 4 teeth in from there has an issue. From the feel of it, and the ache, and the nagging feeling that there’s something stuck (but there’s nothing) – I took as close a look at it as I could manage, and something looks ‘off’. There’s probably at least a crack, and possibly an actual broken portion, I can’t quite tell. And the dentist’s office is closed this afternoon, so I can’t even schedule an appointment. Sad me. Admittedly, I’ve needed to get back in for a while – finish some projects that have been stalled since my last visit, but family issues had come up, and then…. *shrug*. You know. “The usual”. So there goes a few thoughts/plans for food for a little while. I’ve been easing off on carrots as it is, unless they’ve been somewhat cooked. I’ll have to make sure any bacon I intend to consume is just a little more under-done than usual. Still, I need to figure out some other options. The food part of this I’d already expected to be very challenging (other than this typing thing, that is). I really didn’t need a ramped up difficulty rating, now, did I? I thought I could try to play through at ‘easy’, ‘novice’ or ‘beginner’ – possibly even ‘Normal’. Oh well… so it goes.

Western Walls and Lack Thereof: Jerusalem and Tel Aviv – Ohio University Office of Global Opportunites Western Walls and Lack Thereof: Jerusalem and Tel Aviv There is something familiar about this Italian restaurant, just a few blocks from Dizengoff Center, these twenty-somethings in sequined rompers or collared shirts only bothering to use crosswalks (here referred to as “zebras”) because of the armed policemen casually patrolling intersections, and even this Israeli soldier (Meir) looking at me from across the table. There is something uncannily familiar about Tel Aviv, something disconcertingly American in the preteen boys at the beach who yell vulgar things at us (“Just like Miami,” says my roommate from Florida), the falafel or schwarma stands on every corner (“Just like Philly’s hotdogs and hamburger joints,” says my roommate from Pennsylvania), and the Black Keys songs blaring from dirty Buicks (“Just like Columbus,” says my roommate from OU). Even the ultra-Orthodox Jews braving the 106°F heat in black pants, jackets, and hats would not look so very out of place in the US (“Just like the Amish,” I think). Just about to pray at Jerusalem’s Western Wall, we cover exposed shoulders and knees before entering the women’s side of perhaps Judeo-Christianity’s holiest sites. In class, we complain to Dr. Haworth about our disappointment, our fear that we’ve traveled so far east only to find the West waiting for us. “You don’t get it,” he explains. “In Tel Aviv, there are gourmet Jewish restaurants and dumpy Jewish restaurants. There are Jewish cops catching Jewish criminals. There are Jewish garbage men, and Jewish litterbugs.” After seeing Jerusalem, I think I know what Haworth means. In East (Jewish) Jerusalem, on Shabbos (Saturday, the Sabbath), no one uses electricity, travels, or goes in public, really, besides to walk to the synagogue for worship. The holiness of the day is visible, beautiful. But Tel Aviv is beautiful on Shabbos as well, with beachgoers healing hangovers in the sun, supermarkets doing the week’s best business in the evening, late breakfasters lingering over coffee and pastries in the cafes. There is something sacred in the sinning, something profound in the deliberate profanity, something remarkable in Tel Aviv’s normalcy. Despite (or perhaps because of) the Shabbot, Tel Aviv’s Gordon Beach is crowded on Saturday morning. My eyes, Meir tells me, are “like Mossad camouflage”. He is doing exactly as I am—building bridges on awkward similes, trying to bring Athens, Ohio closer to Tel Aviv. For Tel Aviv, the color comparison is fitting, significant for its realism, not its romance. We eat a decidedly treif meal, Jew and goy, Israeli and American, sharing Focaccia bread from a country neither of us has ever seen, creating communion from unwashed hands trusted more than the polished silverware. Difficult as it is to catch the Na Nachs standing still, my roommate, Shoshanna Blair, manages to snap a quick picture of one man as he dances in a spontaneous celebration during Tel Aviv’s Layla Lavan (White Night). As he walks me home later, a van of “Na Nachs”, members of a somewhat eccentric branch of Hassidic Judaism, pull up to a crowded curb just in front of us. Men with long sidecurls begin playing music, jumping ecstatically, and convincing random people standing by to join in the dance. As Haworth tells us in class, “sometimes, prayer is dancing”. I watch the celebration, deciding that maybe this city, usually so similar to America, is after all just as much the epitome of Israeli culture as Jerusalem. Because there is something liberating, something distinctly Israeli in Meir’s ability to roll his eyes at kosher guidelines and the Na Nachs, but still proudly wear the uniform of the Jewish state.

What an AR-15 does. Twitter has many examples of why arming teachers is a terrible idea. Here's a couple of threads. Idaho State University teacher accidentally shoots self in classhttps://t.co/dWJr2qQvFk — David Waldman, LLC (@KagroX) February 21, 2018 Scenario: armed teacher pulled over on way home from work, stopped by police, shot and killed by police — Baratunde (@baratunde) February 24, 2018 This article perfectly and comprehensively sums up every angle of the 'perpetual foreigner' issue I talked about last week. Pair with this piece about who gets to be an immigrant. Model-minoritying isn't good, even if it's better than this: Imagine writing something so despicable and reality-challenged that it gets pulled from Fox News Fox News deletes op-ed slamming 'darker, gayer, different' U.S. Olympic team https://t.co/zXfwdy0d93 via @FortuneMagazine — 🙀 (@rgbrb) February 19, 2018 See also: my thread. I think Julia Ioffe (whose immigrant identity is similar to mine) ought to be aware that as much as we are othered, we are not othered as much as non-white immigrants or descendants of immigrants, or those who look more visibly foreign. https://t.co/Tdsp3y3o0C — 🙀 (@rgbrb) February 18, 2018 I also made a thread about the myth of the endearing man-child. 4. In his view, being an immature prick wasn’t an issue; it was natural for women to suffer that kind of nonsense. The nonsense was endearing, because what woman isn’t attracted to an overgrown child. I was already thinking about this when I saw Lupita Nyong’o’s interview on TDS — 🙀 (@rgbrb) February 24, 2018

Next Generation Ministries: Getting Out Of Prison Not all Americans will celebrate Thanksgiving today in the traditional pattern sustained for decades. And, I'm not referring to those who are employed by the retailers who just have to get a jump on Black Friday. This morning I'm thinking about those who are trapped, isolated and usually forgotten by families. Men and women who are alive, but have been forsaken and abandoned by the rest of society. Many of them are overcome with shame and their daily companions are hopelessness and helplessness. This morning I was withdrawn. Awake. Silent. Horizontal on the bed. Feeling trapped. And even though my best friend was preparing herself for the day, in the bathroom next to our bedroom, so that she could begin her daily ritual of breakfast preparation ... and even though there were 9 other people living in our house ... and even though God was still present and in charge of my life ... I was feeling isolated and forgotten. Forsaken and abandoned by the world in which I grew up. In solitary, making friends with embarrassment and shame for the anger I unleashed on two really good friends the night before. "A failure." I heard it whispered in my head. "Maybe God is attempting to help you through a transition back to a normal life. You are out of fuel. You are old enough for retirement. You aren't really making much of a difference anyway. It's time for a change." I sense my wife coming to my side of the bed. She sits down close to me. Quietly she asks me, "What are you thankful for today." My silence continues for a few moments. My cognitive resources can recall several expected answers. My emotions are too strong to allow them to escape my lips. "Good question," I reply softly. Not long after my response, my wife read this statement to me: Thanksgiving to God is the only thing that heals our view of the world. When I stepped out of the KLM airplane this past October 15th, and entered Entebbe Airport here in Uganda, I reentered a War Zone. I came equipped with fresh vision and energy. I was prepared to get back to the basic. This was my 10th year attempting to bring Christ to this nation and it was time to simply love people. This was my only goal. The foundation of ministry. The goal of followers of Christ. And, it seemed simple enough. That was six weeks ago. My soul is a little beat up. I've faced challenges that I could have never anticipated. I've been betrayed and abandon by one of our associates with whom we have worked for 10 years. He was given responsibilities and assets that required trust. But, that's the bad news. Though evidence of the spiritual war. The good news is that three of our other associates joined arms with me and TOGETHER we salvaged, revived, and advanced the project that was sorely neglected. The unity and energy we have shared has been gifted to us by the Holy Spirit and we are proud of what God has done in us and through us. But, for some unknown reason, simply because I didn't know where the keys were to our vehicle, I lashed out at two of them last night. Most would consider it a small thing and perhaps justified. Though it was brief, it was passionate. It was condescending and abrupt. It was the flesh. Not the Spirit. Though I repented and sought forgiveness soon after it happened ... and though I was graciously forgiven ... I woke this Thanksgiving morning feeling like a prisoner. After Pam encouraged me, I drug my body off the bed, showered and dressed for the day, I lugged my bible to the veranda and did what my wife encouraged me to do: "Read the Psalms." She is a very wise lady. She understands the nature of the war. It is a battle for truth. The enemy traffics in lies. Jesus is truth. She knew I was involved in an intense wrestling match and my soul was in danger. I was discouraged. I read. It was a song written by David when he was in a dark and confined place ... a real prison, if you will. I cry out to the Lord; I plead for the Lord's mercy. I pour out my complaints before Him and tell Him all my troubles. When I am overwhelmed, you alone know the way I should turn. Wherever I go, my eneimies have set traps for me. I look for someone to come and help me, but no one gives me a passing thought! No one will help me; no cares a bit what happens to me. THEN I pray to you, O Lord. I say, "You are my place of refuge. You are all I really want in life. Hear my cry, for I am very low. Rescue you me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me. Bring me out of prison so I can thank you. The godly will crowd around me, for you are good to me." (Psalm 142) Most likely I was fatigued from the battle. And, mostly likely, I needed rest from the constant responsibilities that go with my work, plus having 9 other people in our home to serve. There is no justification for my failure, though I was offered very good explanations for my sudden defeat. But, my view of the world is changing on this Thanksgiving Day. God met me through my wife, through the Scriptures, through friends who encouraged me and prayed for me. I'm out of my self made prison. I will not abandon the call of God on my life. Satan is not the one to counsel me. God will direct my steps. He has heard my cry. He has brought me out of prison so I can thank Him. Happy Thanksgiving. Labels: Africa, Ministry, Missions, Next Generation Ministries, Paul Hunter, Personal Journey, Uganda Elisha Ezra November 27, 2014 at 7:56 AM God is so amazing in the ways he speaks to us. Even when all roads seem so dark, he calls us to walk with him. His ways are not mans ways, his not a man that he can lie. "Where You Lead, Lord i shall follow, Where i go is in your plan. What I pray is your desire, What i need is in your hands. All i ask is your forgiveness, Lord you are so LOVING that i still have a chance." That is how deep the fathers LOVE is to us. Am praying for you Dad. The devil has no authority over anything in your life. Uganda may come with its challenges and oppressions, But you lift up a name that is above every other name, the Banner of victory, the Lion of Judah, his name is Jesus Christ. Paul Hunter November 27, 2014 at 8:03 AM Thanks for the encouragement, Ezra. It is great when our choice is simply following His choice. May you always be motivated by your love for the Lord. Therese Lewandowski November 28, 2014 at 7:45 AM May the Lord continue to strengthen both of you in your ministry. This blog is a good reminder to me of my continual need for His grace and love. Our tanks get empty sometimes. I'm sorry to hear of your loss regarding your friend/co-worker. Though we may understand in the spirit, it sure can still sting our heart. Much love to Pam and you. Paul Hunter November 28, 2014 at 9:26 AM Thanks for your comment Therese. You may know that deception is a big part of the African culture since it was founded on witchcraft. So, though we are, we shouldn't be surprised by such betrayal. His grace is sufficient. Thanks for you love and prayers! They are so encouraging!

In-order delivery of correlated messages in Logic Apps by using Service Bus sessions – Azure Logic Apps Aprana Seth May 2, 2017 2 Nice post, but could you explain a little more why you are doing this? It looks to me that we are reading Session based messages and then creating Topic based messages from them. Are the messages being read from and then posted to the same ServiceBus – or are two used? What is the point, couldn’t the client simply create Topic based messages instead of Session base ones? Presumably the rest of the solution has an App Logic listening to the topic queue? Aprana Seth says: Thanks Jason. The intent is to show how one can use service bus sessions in Logic Apps. We are reading messages from a queue and messages associated with a session are sent to a Topic in this example, although you can process these messages any way you want.

Posted Jul 18, 2016 We stayed here for seven nights. The grounds are beautiful and quiet as the buildings are fairly spread out. The beach in front of the hotel is pristine. ３泊からのコンドミニアム Posted Jun 22, 2016 ワイレア近辺のコンドミニアムは相当良いのですが ここはプールも充実していていう事ありません ３泊以上出来るならここがオススメです Nice hotel close to a great beach. Posted Jun 8, 2016 Wailea is a great area - the condo is close to shopping, great beach, top rated hotels nearby. Highly recommend Ekahi Village. Jun 11, 2016 by Matt, Hotel Management Aloha... I am pleased to read that you had a wonderful visit and thank you so much for recommending Ekahi Village to other travelers. Hopefully, we will have the pleasure of welcoming you back. Mahalo. Comfortable, clean condo. 5 min walk to the beach Posted May 30, 2016 Adequately appointed and clean. The property is beautifully maintained and on a beach in great location. Have stayed here before and would stay here again. 5 out of 5 Posted May 25, 2016 Wir hatten ein traumhaftes Zimmer/kleine Wohnung mit Gartenblick und seitlichem Meerblick... Der Garten ist auf höchstem Niveau gepflegt. Täglich wurde unser Zimmer gereinigt/Handtücher gewechselt.... . Die Küche war mit allem Nötigen voll ausgerüstet! Leider musste man immer die Schlüssel (keine Karten!) bei sich tragen (für das Zimmer und einen für die Pooloanlagen)... Die Anlage verfügt über mehrere Pools... Der große Pool am Meer war mit genügend Schattenplätzen ausgestattet.. Kinder herzlich willkommen.... Abends sind wir meistens an den näheren Pool von unserem Zimmer aus gegangen (kleiner und nicht so schön wie der am Meer)....-> Dort durfte man nicht lauter Reden und Kinder waren überhaupt nicht willkommen.... (Dass man dort schwimmen durfte, grenzte schon an ein Wunder). Wir sind kinderlos, haben aber sofort gemerkt, was für Spielregeln hier am Pool gelten.... Am besten leise sein.... Die nächst liegende Bar war mit ca. 30min zu Fuss zu erreichen... bzw. musste man das Auto benutzen! Aber es war ein wunderschöner Aufenthalt im Paradies... Kann es zu 100% weiterempfehlen. 5 out of 5 by ANNABELLE from Las Vegas, Nevada I have stayed here previously and this stay was also amazing. Check in was quick and they are always great! Got an remodeled condo this time and felt so comfortable and nice. Very close to the beach and only about a five minute walk. Ten to twelve minute walk to the Wailea Mall. Location was convenient and barely used my car. Housekeeping came everyday and always offered any items we need. Would definitely stay here again and again! We have always stayed at the Palms just across the street, but decided to try the Ekahi this vacation. Both have very nice spacious living areas. The benefit at Ekahi over the Palms is that the pool area leads directly to the beach, so we could take our snorkeling gear and boogie boards to the pool and leave them in safety and hop down to the beach when we wanted. So if some of us wanted pool time, we could do both quite easily. The pool area has a great kitchen area so those who wanted to have pupus or cold drinks could bring them down for group get-togethers. We were too busy trying all the nearby restaurants though. The beach right in front of the condos has a great little reef/snorkeling area. A huge humpback whale gave us a show right in front of the property! The only downside was picking up the key on our late arrival. It was a little awkward (we were tired from the flight), but they gave us clear instructions. It just wasn't on site. Not a big issue, but not perfectly convenient. The condo unit was very clean and spacious with amazing water views from every room. Lots of fresh towels provided daily. I wasn't expecting maid service, but we appreciated it greatly! by aden from seattle Lovely condo. Well maintained property We love the Wailea area. This property had good beach access, nice pools and the condo was very comfortable. by Bronwyn from Melbourne Nice condos in great location. Very quiet setting with immaculate gardens Great stay with immediate pool and beach access Posted Feb 26, 2016 Pros: The proximity to the boardwalk and resorts in Wailea as well as having immediate beach access and being able to sit at the pool and watch the wales. Cons: It is on a fairly steep hill, carrying beach chairs to / from the beach with a cooler was a bit tough without transportation but doable once a day Location: It is nice to have the Shops of Wailea so close within walking distance as well as having Kihei a short drive away with the many shops and restaurants We stayed in a studio condo halfway up the hill at this location. It was a perfect location on site, close to one of the 'quiet area' smaller pools which we loved and not too far from the main pool that is right on the beach. The room was very comfortable and made us feel like we were really home away from home. It had all the amenities, bbq, in suite laundry and fully equiped kitchen. My favorite part of the day was having a coffee on the quiet fairly private ground leve deck area that our unit had in the morning sun watching the flowers open in front of my eyes and seeing the beautiful red cardinal join me nearby on the trees.

Tom Hanks Assuages Post-Election Fears: ‘We Will be All Right’ The night was supposed to be all about him, but he made it about us. Tom Hanks used the occasion of his tribute from the Museum of Modern Art’s film department on Tuesday night to deliver a Tom Hanks-ian monologue addressing the despair many in the entertainment industry feel about Donald Trump’s election as president. It was the climactic scene from the third act of many a Hanks movie, and it was just what the audience at MoMA needed to hear. Hanks never mentioned Trump by name, but there was no mistaking the point of his remarks. He referenced “Schoolhouse Rock” and Bruce Springsteen, and he emphasized the sanctity of the Constitution no matter what. To wit: “We are going to be all right. America has been in worse places than we are at right now,” Hanks said. “In my own lifetime our streets were in chaos, our generations were fighting each other tooth and nail and every dinner table ended up being as close to a fist fight as human families will allow. “We have been in a place where we have looked at our leaders and wondered what the hell they were thinking of. We’ve had moments with the administrations and politicians and senators and governors in which we have we’ve asked ourselves ‘Are they lying to us or do they really believe in this?’ That’s all right. “We have this magnificent thing that is in place. It’s a magnificent document and it starts off with these phrases that if you’re smart enough you’ve memorized in school or you just read enough to that you know it by heart, or you watched those little things on ABC where they taught you a little songs in order to sing. and the song goes (singing): ‘We the people/in order to form a more perfect union/established to ensure domestic tranquility/to provide for the common defense/promote the general welfare,’ and you go on and on. That document is going to protect us over and over again whether or not our neighbors preserve, protect and defend it themselves. “We are going to be all right because we constantly get to tell the world who we. We constantly get to define ourselves as Americans. We do have the greatest country in the world. We move at a slow pace. We have the greatest country in the world because we are always moving towards a more perfect union. “That journey never ceases, it never stops. Sometimes, to quote a Bruce Springsteen song, it’s one step forward two steps back, but we still aggregately move forward. We who are a week into wondering what the hell just happened will continue to move forward. We have to choose to do so, but we will move forward because if we do not move forward. What is to be said of us? … ‘We will take everything that has been handed to us as Americans and we will turn our nation and we will turn the future and we will turn all the work that we have in before us into some grand thing of beauty,” Hanks said, to a standing ovation. Hanks comments were preceded by a slew of friends and colleagues playing brief tributes to the two-time Oscar winner. Emma Watson, his co-star in an upcoming movie, was on hand, as was Aaron Eckhardt (his costar in the Oscar buzz movie “Sully”), along with taped messages from Oprah Winfrey and Ron Howard.

A gate dielectric is formed as a nanolaminate of Pr2O3 and a lanthanide oxide selected from the group consisting of Nd2O3, Sm2O3, Gd2O3, and Dy2O3 by electron beam evaporation. These gate dielectrics having a lanthanide oxide nanolaminate are thermodynamically stable such that the nanolaminate forming the gate dielectric will have minimal reactions with a silicon substrate or other structures during processing. This application is a divisional under 37 C.F.R. 1.53(b) of U.S. Ser. No. 10/163,686 filed on Jun. 5, 2002, which application is incorporated herein by reference. This application is related to the following, co-pending, commonly assigned applications, incorporated herein by reference: U.S. application Ser. No. 10/027,315 filed Dec. 20, 2001, entitled: “Low-Temperature Grown High-Quality Ultra-Thin Praseodymium Gate Dielectrics.” A solution to the problems as discussed above is addressed in embodiments according to the teachings of the present invention. In one embodiment, a method of forming a gate dielectric includes forming a layer of Pr2O3 on a substrate and forming a layer of another lanthanide oxide onto the layer of Pr2O3. This second layer is formed of a lanthanide oxide selected from the group consisting of Nd2O3, Sm2O3, Gd2O3, and Dy2O3. Further, the layer of Pr2O3 and the layer of the lanthanide oxide can be formed as a nanolaminate. Advantageously, a gate dielectric formed as a combination of layers of Pr2O3 and another lanthanide oxide has a larger dielectric constant than silicon dioxide, a relatively small leakage current, and good stability with respect to a silicon based substrate. Embodiments according to the teachings of the present invention include forming transistors, memory devices, and electronic systems. The thinner equivalent oxide thickness, teq required for lower transistor operating voltages and smaller transistor dimensions may be realized by a significant number of materials, but additional fabricating requirements makes determining a suitable replacement for SiO2 difficult. The current view for the microelectronics industry is still for Si based devices. This requires that the gate dielectric employed be grown on a silicon substrate or silicon layer, which places significant restraints on the substitute dielectric material. During the formation of the dielectric on the silicon layer, there exists the possibility that a small layer of SiO2 could be formed in addition to the desired dielectric. The result would effectively be a dielectric layer consisting of two sublayers in parallel with each other and the silicon layer on which the dielectric is formed. In such a case, the resulting capacitance would be that of two dielectrics in series. As a result, the teq of the dielectric layer would be the sum of the SiO2 thickness and a multiplicative factor of the thickness, t, of the dielectric being formed, written as One candidate for forming gate dielectrics is Pr2O3. In co-pending, commonly assigned U.S. patent applications: entitled “Low-Temperature Grown High-Quality Ultra-Thin Praseodymium Gate Dielectrics,” attorney docket no. 1303.033US1, Ser. No. 10/027,315, Pr2O3 is disclosed as a replacement for SiO2 in forming gate dielectrics and other dielectric films in electronic devices such as MOS transistors. Additionally, in a recent article by H. J. Osten et al., Technical Digest of IEDM, pp. 653-656 (2000), crystalline praseodymium oxide on silicon was reported to have outstanding dielectric properties. However, in a recent article by H. Zhang et al., Journal of the Electrochemical Societ, 148 (4) pp. F63-F66 (2001), it was noted that dielectric layers using high-κ materials tend to have a narrower bandgap. The article reported investigating the use of nanolaminates of ZrO2/HfO2, ZrO2/Ta2O5, and Ta2O5/HfO2, instead of a single layer of either Ta2O5, ZrO2, or HfO2. Each nanolaminate, that is, a composite of thin alternating layers of insulators, was grown using Atomic Layer Deposition. The dielectric layers formed of these nanolaminates were reported to have a dielectric constant in the range of 9 to 16, providing a teq reduction factor of about 3 relative to SiO2. a dielectric layer, the dielectric layer including: a layer of Pr2O3; and a layer of another lanthanide oxide disposed on the layer of Pr2O3. 2.

Review: ISLAND OF EXILES (The Ryogan Chronicles #1), by Erica Cameron – Space and Sorcery July 14, 2017 maddalena@spaceandsorcery It’s practically impossible for me to resist a deep desert setting, not since Frank Herbert’s Dune became one of my favorite books, so when I read the first reviews for Island of Exiles I knew it would not be long before I saw for myself what this story had to offer. Life on the island of Shiara is hard and unforgiving: set in the middle of a turbulent ocean, the island’s climate alternates between periods of intense, searing heat and seasonal storms that can annihilate everything in their path. The city in which the novel is set is an enclave of relative comfort in such a harsh environment, but requires total dedication from its citizens, whose main goal must be the survival of the tribe, even before that of the individual. The city’s society is divided into three layers: the nyshin – or warriors/hunters, who provide security and forage for whatever other foodstuffs the island can provide, besides what can be cultivated on the plateau; the ahdo, who are a sort of teachers and administrators; and the yonin, the lowest possible rank: these are people who were unable to manifest any magic ability during the rite of passage into adulthood, and are therefore kept inside the city walls and set on any kind of menial work – there is no overt contempt displayed toward the yonin in this society, but the writing on the wall is quite clear about their station. At the top of the power pyramid, however, stand the Miriseh, a group of long-lived (or maybe immortal) people who act as protectors to the city’s population, and are regarded as the ultimate source of reverence. Khya is a nyshin warrior, brave, highly respected and dedicated: she wants to get to the very top and become one day part of the council of advisors to the Miriseh, just as her blood-parents did, and it’s her most fervent hope that her younger brother Yorri might share that honor with her, but so far Yorri has shown no magical ability, and she’s afraid he might end up among the yonin, as happened to his lover Sanii. Training him in secret, she finds the way to unlock Yorri’s magic – a very powerful, very rare kind of magic – and everything seems to move according to her plans when tragedy strikes, and on its aftermath Khya starts making unpleasant discoveries that will turn her world and beliefs upside down, and lead her toward an unexpected path. The world described by Erica Cameron is a fascinating one: enclosed in a relatively small space, hemmed in by cruel nature, the people of Shiara have managed to create a flourishing society, one that displays many interesting facets, and a few shadows as well. For example, if on one side we can observe the existence of three sexes (male, female and a neuter called ebet) and a total freedom about the choice of partners, with no distinction between genders, on the other we have a rigid caste system that puts at its lower tier the yonin: the outward reason for keeping them in the city is that they need the protection of the walls, since they have no magic that could shield them from the elements or any enemy they might face. The truth, however, is that the yonin are pariahs, people to whom little value is attached (as witnessed by the lack of mourning when accidents take their life), people who are not deemed worthy of a liaison with the upper strata of society, and are best kept out of the collective sight: they serve in silence, their work required but not acknowledged. To me, this was the first sign that not everything was as it looked on Shiara, so that once the revelation about long-kept secrets and lies surfaced, I was not overly surprised. The downside of such a fascinating premise, however, is that there is too much of it: as a reader I felt virtually assaulted by a huge amount of new terms, most of them without explanation, that required my utmost concentration on these details, concentration that was stolen from the story itself. I’ve often said that I like to work through what I read, that I don’t like to be spoon-fed by excessively enthusiastic authors, but to me Island of Exiles went completely the other way, burdening the narrative with a plethora of terms that proved more distracting than informative, more on the side of telling the readers about the differences in this society, rather than showing them. In a similar way, the moment in which the truth behind the careful façade is revealed is less of an enlightenment and more of a full stop in the forward momentum: again too much information is given in a rather pedantic way and it takes the wind from the novel’s sails, where a slow accumulation of clues might have worked far better. Fortunately, the characters’ journey more than compensates for this problem, even though it’s hard at first to connect with the central figure of Khya: she’s so driven, so focused on her goals, that she often dangerously comes close to be an overbearing zealot – her desire to see Yorri excel and join her in the advisors’ inner circle carries her like a bulldozer over her younger brother’s eventual aspirations, never once taking into account that he might want something different. She loves him deeply, and yet she does not know him, not fully: indeed the discovery of Yorri’s desire to bond with Sanii – thwarted by Sanii’s failure in the rite of passage – comes as a huge surprise, as if Khya considered Yorri’s life an appendage of her own, without needs or drives she has not contemplated. Only loss will force Khya to look inside herself as she tries to unravel the island’s mysteries, and those observations will lead her to understand the error of her ways, to really grow both as a person and a fictional character: it’s not something you find often in YA-oriented novels, and it finally gives meaning to the coming-of-age journey that tends to be at the center of this kind of story. In a similar manner, the romantic thread of the narrative is developed in a believable, organic way (and there’s no love triangle, which is always a plus with me…): fellow warrior Tessen could not be farthest from Khya’s interest – they have known each other since childhood, but she resents him because she believes he stole from her the opportunity of advancement in the nyshin ranks. Khya’s wariness gives slowly way to growing trust when Tessen proves time and again his reliability and steadfastness, creating a slow-burn romantic entanglement that does not take over the story proper, but instead offers a nice counterpoint that is never overdone. Despite a few objections, I rather enjoyed Island of Exiles, and it’s my hope that the “wrinkles” I encountered might be straightened out in the next installments: the story, and its future developments, are indeed worth keeping the faith.

It sounds like there are a few stumbling blocks that are typical of a series starter though, especially with the avalanche of new terms. Such a double edged sword, isn’t it? On the one hand, that stuff makes for excellent, rich worldbuilding, but on the other, you don’t want to overwhelm and drive off new readers. Reply maddalena@spaceandsorcery says: July 15, 2017 at 18:18 Part of the problem with the new terms comes from my preferred reading medium, I guess: at the end of the book there IS a glossary that explains it all, but it’s not so easily accessible when you’re reading an e-book… Nevertheless, the story is promising and it does not fall into the usual YA traps, so I will keep the faith 🙂 and read the next one as well. Reply @lynnsbooks says: July 15, 2017 at 10:28 I enjoyed this one too. It had its flaws but it was an entertaining read and I would definitely like to read on. Very refreshing to read a YA without a love triangle too. Reply maddalena@spaceandsorcery says: July 15, 2017 at 18:20 Yes, “refreshing” is indeed the perfect word to define this novel: the main character does not do anything stupid “just because”, for starters, and the love story – as light-handed as it is – works well without need for geometrical shapes 😀 😀 Reply imyril says: July 23, 2017 at 2:43 This sounds intriguing – I had never heard of it before now.

Specification of Letters'ratent. Application filed July 29, 1919. Serial No. 314,088. the art that receptacles or containers of this character are subjected toconsiderable internal pressure during the expansion of the water as it is converted into ice; in the lifting and dumping of the molded block of ice in the-receptacle; and in the general handling, packing and arrangement of; the receptacles .in the main freezin tank. It has also been found with the. use of priofdevices of this character that when the pans'or receptacles areov'erturned to release the block of ice they are impacted'with considerable force under the thrust of the block o'f'ice, which weighs between one hundred that the seams of the receptacle are burst and opened during'such operation. Another disadvantage found with prior receptacles or molds of this character is that the corners are not capable of withstanding the internal ressure and frequently crack or burst. epair ofsuch injuries to the can cannot be permanently or easily made and the cans are practically worthless when so split. A further disadvantage found inprior molds is that the bottoms, under the heavy strain and the expansion incident to the freezing of the water, causes thebottoms to bulge downward within the base flange and form ice blocks with rounded bottoms making the blocks diflicult to handle asthey will not stand upright, particularly when'depesited delivery wagons and the, like. q The object of the present'inventio'n is to provide in a simply constructed sheet metal mold or receptacle a construction which obviates al1 of the above disadvantages and which-has additionally the advantage. of quickly freeing the block of ice when the can is overturned and of reducin the frictionalcontact, between the sides o 'the bl oclr f formly andthe can during the withdrawal of the block of ice. Anotherobject of the invention is to provide a construction of mold which may be knocked down and conveniently shipped from the factory to ice plants and the like, and which may be stored in quantities in a relatively small space, the object also embracing a novel joint between the meetin edges of the sheet metal body of the can and the bottom edge of the body and the bot- With these and other objectsin view, the inventionconsists in certain novel combinations and arrangements of the parts as will more fully appear as the description pr'oceeds, the novel features thereof being pointed out in the appended claims. For a vfull understanding of the invention, reference is to be had to the} following desciipltlion and accompanying drawings, in w 10 Figure 1 is a side elevation of a receptacle Patented Aug. 3,1920.

The body 10 may be made in one or more sections, two being shown in the present instance, and which are so constructed that ,when assembled the'sections or sheets of the body meet and overlap at the longitudinal sides of the body so that the narrow sides of the body are uninterrupted and continuous; thus eliminating the formation of seams at such narrow sides where impact and pressure are constantly exerted during handling-of the molds and the dumping of thesame. As shown in Fig. 6, the seams in the body 10 are each formed of the overlapping ends of the adjacent sheets of metal and which have interposed between them a strip or layer 18 of tar paper, or other suitable substance forming a packing for effectively and positively sealing the 'joint between the overlapping ends and for rendering the seam air and moisture tight. In the present instance the seam is held together by a longitudinal row of bolts'14; carryin detachable nuts 15 at outer sides 0 the body 10, the bolts being arranged in staggered relation throu bout the end of the can and being detacha 1e so that the sections of the. can may me sepa-' rated and the can thus conveniently handled in relatively small space. By virtue of the tapering formation of the body .of the can, the sections thereof may be made to telescope or interfit when the sections are separated one from the other, and thus a large number of cans may be knocked down and packed into the same space which is ordinarily required for the storage of one 1 10 by bolts 1 Each section of the can is thus substantially U-shaped and the seams of the as sembled can are located in the longitudinal sides of thecan so that the seams are protectedfrom impact and do nothave to sustain the weight of the molded block as the can is overturned or dumped. The upper edge of the'can may be reinforced by a ring 16 which may be of any suitable construction and detachablyl secured to the u p'er edge portion of the body which may be readily' removed for knocking the structure down; llhe lower end 'of the can is closed by a bottom formedofsheetqmetal which has its marginal. edge portion bent downwardand rounded upwardly. to form a U-shaped channel flange 19 at the margin of the bottom 18 with the flange opening ,upwardly as it comprises a .pair of spaced walls capable of withstanding considerable impact and weight and which braces the bottom portion of the can body 10. Detachable bolts'20 may be used in securing the bottom of the can or mold 10 to the lower edge of the sheet metal body for facilitating the knocking down of the mold. In order to seal the bottom of the body-10, a U-shaped packing strip 21 of tar paper, or other suitable yielding insulating vmaterial may be employed. As shown in Figs. 3 and 5, the packing strip-21 is of U-shape and fitted in the flange 19 about the lower edge of the body 10 and adapted to receive the bolts 20 therethrough for maintaining the packing in position and sealing the packin flange 19. g The bottom' 18 is re nforced agamst bulging downwardly by the provision of ribs. or crimps 22 which are formed diagonally across the bottom and intersect at the intermediate .portion in the thereof: The crimps 22 projectupwardly into the can so asto provide a substantial brace with the arch of the brace upward against the mass'to be supported,the arch being formed by the upstruckU-shape of the IlbS. A can constructed according to this-invention is of substantiallynormal size and may be handled in the main tank in the usual manner. Whenthe can is dumped over on one of its narrow sides the impact ofthe weight of the can with the molded block therein is not thrust directly upon the seam of the body, and thus the seam is protected against this impact which usually opens theiseam and destroys the can. Furthermore, the arrangement of the seam intermediate the lon itudinal sides of the can strengthens said sides and forms a reinforcement for the can to resist internal what we claimas new and desire to secure; 1. A knock down ice mold comprising a rectangular body portion, which is divided longitudinally; into twocomplemental U shaped sections, adapted to be nested in each other, means for detjachablyconnecting the meeting 'e'dges-of ithe, sections to form ahollow body for the mold, a bottom plate having marginal portions constructed to receive and interlock with the edges of the body, and means fordetachably securing the bottom plateto the body of the mold. 2.

Country Music - tribunedigital-chicagotribune Beneath Diversions, Performers' Roots Reach Deep December 05, 1999|By Jack Hurst. Special to the Tribune. Mainstream country music on the cusp of Y2K may be a little more country than it has been for most of the '90s -- if you know where to look. The Dixie Chicks cleverly employ sartorial outrageousness to mask deep and diverse country roots, but the roots are definitely discernible. George Jones is not masking anything, and Asleep At the Wheel's veteran virtuosity remains as impressive as its ability to choose guests for its excursions into classic western swing. There remain, however, myriad influences from beyond the pale. 1. Dixie Chicks, "Fly" (Monument Records): The Chicks are not only confident and comfortable with everything they have become but they balance being wildly contemporary and remaining true to their seminal essence. Their chops, instrumental and vocal, are killer too. 2. George Jones, "Cold Hard Truth" (Asylum): In terms of consistency, this is perhaps the best album by the most passionate male vocalist in country history. And he recorded it at age 67. 3. Asleep At the Wheel & Guests, "Ride With Bob" (DreamWorks): This is by no means the first Wheel album with invited duet acts, but some performances (Willie Nelson & Manhattan Transfer on "Going Away Party" or Lee Ann Womack on "Heart To Heart Talk") are unforgettable. 4. Brad Paisley, "Who Needs Pictures" (Arista): This young West Virginian wields a mighty pen and guitar. 5. Martina McBride, "Emotion" (RCA): The impassioned McBride proceeds even further in pop directions. 6. Tim McGraw, "A Place in the Sun" (Curb): A collection of varied voices and styles as well as impressive taste in material, this package deserves its awards. 7. Mandy Barnett, "I've Got a Right To Cry" (Sire): Barnett, a latter-day Patsy Cline, did some of these tracks with Cline's producer and finished it up with Bradley's guitar-wizard brother. 8. Gary Allan, "Smoke Rings in the Dark" (MCA): Allan may be a Southern California surfer in his off-time, but he sounds as authentic as a South Texas wrangler. 9. Debbie and Julie Wade, "Sisters Wade" (Blue Hat): This record walks a Judds-like line between contemporary-sounding cool and faithfulness to tradition. 10. John Prine, "In Spite of Ourselves" (Oh Boy): You may question whether this is music, given Prine's inability to do harmony, but it is definitely country and much fun as the great songwriter and nine of his favorite female vocalists feel their way through a well-chosen list of all-time country hits.

Home, Garden, Backyard Organic Farm: July 2008 Organic farm needs lots of attention and lots of work, much more than what is needed in conventional farms where you just spray poison to keep pests away or add artificial fertilizers. After a hard day's work in the backyard organic farm, I think you deserve to retire to a beautiful bathroom to get all the garden soils that has attached to your body. How about brightening up your bathroom by adding Bathrom Furniture such as the Bathroom Cabinets in the photo on the left in this paragraph. I have seen some beautiful basin that comprise a large plate of see-through glass and a sunken depression. It looks very modern. Now if you are not prepared to do fairly substantial renovation, it is difficult to change your present standard basin to something more modern. However, you can try to add some modern Bathrom Basin like that see-through toothbrush holder in the photo.

Return From Seattle of Conductor Gerard Schwarz - latimes YOU ARE HERE: LAT Home→Collections→Gerard Schwarz Return From Seattle of Conductor Gerard Schwarz January 27, 1988|JOHN HENKEN For local audiences, at least, Gerard Schwarz and the Seattle Symphony is a coupling of a very familiar conductor with an almost unknown orchestra. Schwarz became music director of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra in October, 1978 and greatly expanded that ensemble's activities throughout Southern California during his tenure, which lasted through June, 1986. This week he returns, but with an orchestra familiar to local listeners only through recordings. The 40-year-old trumpeter-turned-conductor became music adviser to the Seattle Symphony in May, 1983. He was named music director a year later and signed a three-year contract extension last summer. The Seattle Symphony makes its first appearance in Southern California since 1935 tonight in a concert at the Orange County Performing Arts Center sponsored by the Orange County Philharmonic Society. Performances follow Thursday at Royce Hall, UCLA; Friday in El Cajon; Saturday at Ambassador Auditorium and Monday in the new McCallum Theatre at Palm Desert When a tour by the orchestra was first suggested, New York was inevitably nominated as the destination. But Schwarz pushed for Los Angeles. Three of the sites--Ambassador, Royce Hall and the East County Performing Arts Center in El Cajon--are well known to Schwarz from performances with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra. "I loved all the venues that I played in," Schwarz reported recently from Chicago. (Schwarz was in Chicago to tape "The Performing Arts Salute Public Television." In that PBS special, scheduled to air in March, he conducts the Indianapolis Symphony and hosts a portion of the program.) The other two concert locations have opened since Schwarz departed. Of Segerstrom Hall at the Orange County Performing Arts Center, he knows only hearsay. "Which is that it is fabulous," he said. "A number of people have told me that." The tour, the orchestra's first appearances outside its home state since a financially disastrous tour of Europe in 1980, is "very meaningful" to the organization, according to Schwarz. "People don't know us. Coming to a major cultural center like Los Angeles is important for us," the conductor said. The problem of his orchestra's identity is a real one for Schwarz, who humorously reported receiving a "who-do-you-think-you-are?" challenge from a journalist, regarding the current tour. The tour itself is part of Schwarz's answer to such questions, as is an ongoing recording relationship with Delos International. In fact, most of the repertory that Schwarz and Co. will play on this tour is representative of its work--finished and projected--for Delos. Another piece, Brahms' First Symphony, was chosen as a standard for comparison. "I wanted something standard to be judged by. I have a great respect for the press in Los Angeles," the diplomatic conductor claimed. Through two recordings of excerpts, the Seattle Symphony is becoming known as a Wagner orchestra, and music by that composer is featured on several of the tour programs. The excerpts from Prokofiev's "Romeo and Juliet" ballet music, which will be played here, have also been recorded by Schwarz and his orchestra. Stravinsky's "Petrushka" and Howard Hanson's "Romantic" Symphony No. 2 complete the tour repertory. The former caps an interesting disc of early Stravinsky, and the latter is part of a Hanson survey the orchestra will record. "I'm just an American music fan, that's all," Schwarz avowed. "Hanson has been maligned over the years, particularly by other composers with whom he disagreed." The Second Symphony was commissioned by the Boston Symphony for its 50th anniversary, and Hanson's Fourth Symphony was awarded a Pulitzer Prize. But the composer's tonal music came to sound increasingly conservative and was given fewer and fewer performances, leading to unconcealed bitterness. Contemporary music has also been a priority with Schwarz and the Seattle Symphony, though it is not a risk they are taking on this tour. "What I felt I had to do was start slowly and gradually have the audience build a trust in me," Schwarz said of his programming in Seattle. "And it's been successful," he added. The Seattle Symphony has achieved a measure of financial stability since Schwarz arrived. "It's a success story," he said. "Last year we actually had a surplus. We average over 90% (ticket sales) in our 3,100-seat house. You build the artistic quality, and then the other things fall into place." There is some union turmoil within the orchestra, Schwarz reported, but not in conflict with him or management. "We have a group of musicians from the orchestra who are not pleased with the American Federation of Musicians' representation." Schwarz had a close association with his players here, and that, he says, is true of his work now with the larger ensemble in Seattle. "I feel like we're all looking for the same thing, for the same reasons," he said. "There's an unanimity of opinion, to make music on the highest level we can." He does not find work with a bigger ensemble that much different from conducting a chamber orchestra. "Obviously, there's a lot more to choose from in repertory," he noted. As for technique, "I don't find it significantly different." Schwarz recalled his days with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, where he acquired much of his podium presence, with fondness and gratitude. "They took a risk in me," he acknowledged. "I love that orchestra. I was listening to the radio the other day and heard our recording of the Prokofiev "Classical" Symphony. All it did was bring back the memories." All of that contributes to the New Jersey native's sense of homecoming about this tour. "In the end, I'm just very excited to be coming back."

json - jquery not updating DOM after $.getJSON in IE/Internet Explorer - Stack Overflow I have a page that contains an element, <displayedimage>, that is not getting updated using jquery's document.ready/$.getJSON funcitonality in IE 6 and IE 8 (probably IE 7 too even though I haven't tested). This same piece of funcitonality works fine on XP Safari and OS X Safari, OS X Chrome, OS X Opera, etc. So, here's what happens: I have an element, , that is empty on first load, but gets populated by a javascript method executed by document.ready: &lt;div id="imagecontrol"&gt; &lt;displayedimage&gt;&lt;/displayedimage&gt; gets updated by: function loadFirstImage() { $.getJSON("/servlet/access/image/" + id, $("displayedimage").html("&lt;a href=\"/servlet/images/" + json.images[0].filename + "\"&gt;&lt;img src=\"/servlet/images/s_" + json.images[0].filename + "\"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;"); $("imagelabel").html(json.images[0].label); As stated, this system works fine in OS X Safari, OS X Chrome, OS X Opera, XP Safari, but doesn't seem to do anything in XP IE. I've performed simple debugging (alert("loadFirstImage called") in the loadFirstImage method and it gives me an alert, so it seems that it might be some .getJSON issue? Any suggestions on where to start with something like this? Thanks. jquery json dom cross-browser share|improve this question asked Dec 15 '09 at 6:20 2 I never know that 'displayimage' tag in html. Using arbitrary DOM element names can give you this kind of problems and inconsistencies. Why don't you just simply use a standard element, like a div or a span perhaps?: &lt;div id="displayedimage"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; And in your $.getJSON callback you set the contents of it: $("#displayedimage").html(/*...*/); Browsers will accept any markup, even if it's not legal HTML. By this, it means that the browser will try to guess about what you probably meant. That can lead to having browser compatibility issues as the one you are now, for that I would recommend you to validate your markup. share|improve this answer edited Dec 15 '09 at 6:34 answered Dec 15 '09 at 6:28 I assumed that I could create whatever element name I desired in IE. Thanks for the help. Try it with sematics $("#displayedimage").html("&lt;a href=\"/servlet/images/" + json.images[0].filename + "\"&gt;&lt;img src=\"/servlet/images/s_" + json.images[0].filename + "\"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;"); share|improve this answer answered Dec 15 '09 at 6:33 Nice answer and example. Thanks for the help. Since you are using custom tags, have you explicitly created those tags as needed for IE? Put this in the head of your page: document.createElement('displayedimage'); document.createElement('imagelabel'); For the record: I agree with the other answers that you should stick to valid tags or you may run into name collision later on. Thanks for the help. I used standard tags and voila, it worked. Good example on defining custom tags. Also note that if $.getJSON is called multiple times on the same page (perhaps as a result of button click or similar), in IE 7/8 your data will NOT be updated because IE caches ajax requests by default (e.g. Chrome and FF don't do that). Solution is to use $.ajax method instead ($.getJSON is a wrapper method for $.ajax): url: 'JSON_SOURCE_URL', cache: false, // 'cache: false' must be present for IE 7 &amp; 8 // do your thing with 'data' Not the answer you're looking for?

LOVEyouMORE will be available @ my event too!) after recounting my days spent "puttering"...i've decided that doing it, despite the definition, can certainly be effective. so i need to spend some more time doing just that! there is a studio that needs more "fluffing". and more jewelys to be made. and some branches that are begging to be adorned. though that last one may have to wait til next week. when i can putter in a bit more "leisurely fashion". until then...i will see what i can putter my way thru & be back intouch (1) more time before showtime this coming weekend! words cannot express my continued gratitude for your notes, comments & the kind words they contain. that necklace {PRIZE} really does say it all. YOU make me happy to be here doing what i do best. to which i will proudly say is PUTTERing! happy day til next we meet! Nov 27, 2012 4:45:42 AM black {BOARD} friday. GREETINGS! amazing how one holiday comes & goes so quickly. w/ ThanksGiving behind us...many of you are onto the next order of business. and that may mean a little blackFRIDAY shopping. the days find me plucking away @ getting things together for my {miniEVENT}. it's coming up quickly! for a good long time...i've been a fan of chalkboards. got me a nice collection of old slates from the early years when school-kids used them to do their lessons. WAY before ipads + computers became the norm. but old fashion charm reigns yet again w/ chalkboard art sweeping the creative world by storm. i found myself inspired by the movement when i created the black{BOARD}-like art {below}. showed ya a little tickler above. now time for a little teaser below. i wanted to give you a glimpse @ some of the goodies you might expect should you venture over to my neck*of*the*woods. of course i'm excited to have a great selection of my a-la-carte baubles for your necklace building pleasure. plus a wonderful variety of my thoughtfully collected {some here}... ...and created {like this below} artisan jewelry pieces. each made by hand and always a little work of art unique in nature. many with a special sentiment that will make you {HAPPY}. and though i'm calling this a miniEVENT due to it's smaller scale. i am pulling out some bigGUNS in home decor as well. with a couple large scale pieces that will WOW you. like the 6" tall conservatory-like window that is not only an impressive sight...but also retains ALL of it's original glass panes. take a little gander {below} and the larger than life gilt mirror w/ ghostly beveled mirror. it sits atop a patinaWHITE exclusive furniture design...my cottage locker storage {below} i'd like to invite you to pack up your car. with your excitement + a friend or two & make the trek out to my studio. if you need driving directions or a few more details...then click {HERE} to find out all you need to know to join me for my {miniEVENT} sure to be bigFUN! i look so forward to seeing your happy faces soon! and will continue to share some peeks on my blog + facebook {click HERE for my FB page} until then...have yourself a HAPPY*day! Nov 23, 2012 9:12:09 AM hello there everyone! with thanksgiving nearly upon us...i had to take a quick moment to express something very important to me. and that is my {THANK}FULLNESS for the likes of YOU! because knowing that you pop by...my cottage, blog, events, facebook....or maybe ALL of the outlets i use for my creative expression...is what really keeps me going and {4}ever thankful. i've said it a hundred time & will say it again. it is truly my passion to inspire. and being able to do so on so many levels makes me very {GRATEFUL}. not too long ago...i created this necklace recently as a reflection of that gratitude. so i hope this finds you enjoying the start to the holidays. and if you're like me, taking a moment to reflect on those things that you are thankful for. awhile back i did a "grateful" list inspired by a conversation i overheard. so simply put. i am grateful for EVERYTHING. and i'm quite content with that being ENOUGH! how could you ask for more, right? Nov 21, 2012 9:33:00 AM hello there show&tell friends! as i prepare for patinaWHITE's {miniEVENT}... what's that you ask?? - please click {HERE} 4 info ...there has been a great deal of "decorating" going on the exterior our home. one of my favorite things is to go all out w/ seasonal accents to evoke an inviting holiday feel to our homestead. i started the other day by packing my bundled-up self, saw + determination into our little truck & driving into the depths of the woods. not exactly where i preferred to be w/ deer hunting going on. but i was hoping with my lime vest on i wouldn't be mistaken for a well fed doe. i kept going back for just "one more" branch & ended up with a truck full of evergreens, bright berries + red dogwood branches. as seen {below} we also rounded up our garlands from the always accommodating {BERGEN'S} greenhouse. they are so very good to me no matter what the season! we {hubby & i} got a nice start on a pleasant day. and worked into the eve due {2} shorter hours w/ the winter solstice rolling in. here was a peek @ the start of the annual garland hanging. which can be a challenge {for hubby that is putting up w/ his perfectionist wife asking for 1 tweak there & a tuck there}. the next day when i should have been back on task hitting the decorating detail...i made a stop on the way home from my cream & coffee run {yes. THAT order} @ our thrift. this is otherwise known as procrastination in my land. someone was sending me a message when i whisked by the book section and saw this {below} "hey! that's me!" i thought. then i remembered where i should be & decided to go back home. not before i sprung the $1 for the book! it was just too appropriate. and had some fun inserts i thought i could use down the road. the garland came together beautifully on our home & studio {you can see the studio decked out in my last post}. and one very gorgeous blue skied day shortly after our first snowfall of the season....my childhood "friend", mr roger's, cheerful song of it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood rang thru my mind as i snapped the picture {below}. can't forget to show my window planter*box in it's winter cloak of the local greens & twigs. also popped in some GIANT sugar cones among the medley of junk. the final touch is my vintage star decor that i have treasured for years. so this "lady of the decoration" is onto the next order of business. and that is fluffing the inside of the studio for my miniEVENT. i hope those of you who are planning on popping by will enjoy perusing around this smallerSCALE, but bigFUN environment! i look oh*so*forward to seeing you of and i am tickled that things are coming together for me to be able to open up "shoppe" for a couple days on DECEMBER 1st & 2nd. wishing you all a happy start to the holiday season! Nov 15, 2012 9:11:37 AM | happy holly days here we go {AGAIN}...miniEVENT time! hello hello! so. after things started winding down for the summer season @ shady hollow, i made a decision...for the 1st time in {10} years not to have an EVENT from my home. to which i was met w/ fallen faces when i informed those anticipating it. ok. let's do a {DOG & PONY} show on the road. something a little smaller. more manageable. off to perham, mn i went last weekend. and had a FABULOUS time. like my old wooden wheel rack...i was on "roll". thought i would settle into making some smaller items + jewelry. trying my best to accommodate the requests and emails i have received. then. the day after the {DOG & PONY} show i woke up to more emails. and calls. from those wonderful folks who were disappointed they couldn't even reach my display. much less grab the goodies they were after. i've always wanted more time in the day...which that extra hour we were granted on sunday provided. it sent my already "deep in thought" tendency into overdrive. the booth from the show is right there. ready to be unpacked. why not set it up in my studio?? and do a "miniEVENT". invite guests by word of mouth + online "sharing". well...i'd like to extend that invitation {below}... so those who were wishing... ...for a studio event {see my studio ready 4 holiday action below} ...could come out and get a taste of patinaWHITE wares one more time for the year. incase you were wondering...here's the address {below} for my home studio / miniEVENT location. and if you click the chalkboard...hang on - because you'll be whisked to mapquest where you can plan your route of action! are you excited? i am! i think perham was just what the doctor ordered to get a fire lit under me. i've got a few weeks to replenish those best sellers many are looking for. {please pass the spring wreaths!}. and maybe just maybe iron my wonder woman cape and get a few of my uniquely created jewelry creations not only miniEVENT ready but also stocked in a little etsy shoppe. i've been saying it for awhile but just when i think things might settle a little bit...i make another decision trying my best to keep everyone happy. while doing the same for myself! there you have it. and even though i am dubbing this my miniEVENT...i promise it to be BIGfun! thank you everyone for your excitement. it is what keeps me rolling in the right direction! which is where i best head off to now to get things together once again! of course i will be back with little snippets + tidbits to share. stay tuned! and have yourself... ...a happy day! Nov 9, 2012 12:15:38 PM hello & happy day to you! this post is a tribute to my little duck, MJ. if you're new to my corner of the world...that likely won't have much meaning. but if you dig a little bit back into my blog you will soon discover what an impact she had on me this summer. today marks exactly a month that she spread her wings & took {what we hope was} the flight south to warmer weather that northern minnesota doesn't offer in the winter months. now...jump back even FURTHER into my ramblings and you might remember the start of a project i was monkeying around with... at the time i had been seeing alot of neat takes on recycled wood into signs. i had plenty of weathered wood myself & figured i could add another variation to my sign selection i already offered at patinaWHITE. well. despite having the wood + the inspiration...i didn't take {make} the time to follow thru on my creation. so it sat in the garage in a pile. once and awhile i would catch a glimpse @ the one & only painted slat and smile. because...i figured...love is ALL i need, right? and then i became distracted by something else that had come into my life around the time of this concept. my tiny ball of fuzz...a baby duck who i named MJ. do you remember what she looked like? adorable to say the least. here she is {below}...day 1! i decided late summer to revisit the project motivated by the many random, inspiring quotes i had jotted down. plus at this stage of raising MJ, she was well into her routine of floating at her home away from home for hours on end. AND i wanted a form of creative expression while on the visits i made to her pond daily. MJ would climb up the bank when i arrived and play about while i painted. she made me laugh w/ her constant peeking @ what i was up to {like seen below} painting the slats took quite awhile. it became an act of personal expression. i'd throw on my dickies...pack up my paint + brushes & walk across the fields thru the woods {almost sounds like a christmas carol!} w/ the sign tucked under my arm like a canvas. i'm sure if the neighbors saw me they would wonder just for a moment what the "eccentric" lady next door was up to. as summer drew to a close...i was near the end of painting the quotes on the sign. and MJ had grown into the beautiful adult wood duck many of you enjoyed reading about. even a month later my eyes still are swelled over typing & show this {below}...one of the last photos i took of her. i had originally planned on selling the sign. but found that as i painted...i became very attached to it on many levels. mostly because of the memories i hold when i look @ it. that & i think it just looks darn COOL! so i hung it in my kitchen. where i see if daily. and...if you ask me...whats neat about it not only the random thoughts...but ultimately how i decided against the perfect ends & straight lines. leaving it rough and all most unplanned in appearance {random again!}. you be the judge when you see it {below} the date on my little calendar gives away the fact that i took this picture awhile ago. i meant to show it sometime back but had to stop due to the writer's block i faced. decided that today would be the day. and as long as i am on the topic of random thoughts + calendar dates...i am finishing up the little collage of art to announce the miniEVENT that i have decided to go forward w/ here in the very near future @ my home studio. i will be doing that this friday...so you all can mark your calendars! with that i am off. time to do some seasonal transformations on the outside of our home today. we have been granted a peek of sunshine & that always motivates me. that and the long term forecast calls for highs in the mid 20's. and unlike MJ i don't have any plans on flying south. so i will make the most of the onset of winter and whatever randomness the day may bring! and here's hoping you are enjoying yours!

Silence is deafening. – a dreamer with his eyes wide open I finally know why they say that silence is deafening. It has nothing to do with the lack of sound or even in the screaming in your head. Your silence is deafening. The unspoken screams of things you let go unsaid until it was well past time to say them. It’s hard to listen to music with lyrics and not find a way to make them my own. It’s next to impossible to keep my thoughts from wandering back to each syllable that I wanted to say, but won’t. I keep writing them all down. Over and over; just letting the ink spill out on the page in an inconsistent flow of nonsense. For approximately forty seconds I can breathe again, but reality crashes in. It does no good to share the words with an empty page. I tried talking it out. Despite the fact that it felt pretty good to ramble it all out without judgement; it didn’t remove the feeling. I haven’t been giving my writing the attention that it deserves. I can’t even give this post my full attention. It feels like I’ve been trying to force words on this computer screen all day, but it’s actually been two and a half hours. There’s a logical part of me that knows I won’t feel like this forever. The scientific composition of even my abnormal brain will eventually swing another way and the feelings will change. The logical part of me also knows that eventually even though both sides of me will use what I feel to hurt me; I won’t hurt about this forever. Eventually, it will fade into a dull ache that crosses my mind from time to time. It’s not easy to become someone’s stranger, but that’s the path I’ve chosen for myself. As the ships keep passing on the ocean, I know the sun is going down and that ships which pass in the night are usually out of sight before the sun rise.In the warm glow of the sunrise, healing will begin. Five years from now I won’t understand why I felt this way. Ten years from now I won’t remember where I was sitting when I penned these words. Twenty years from now it won’t matter because I’ll likely be dead. Another day. One more sunrise might make all the difference.

Georgian Bay | Mike Pereira Photography Another few shots from my trip to Killbear with Kevin Collins. While there is plenty of Canadian landscape photography out there, I often find there is less Ontario landscape work going on. Part of this of course is that I am probably not looking hard enough. Still, you can easily find hundreds of thousands of images of the Rocky Mountains, but start searching for images of Ontario and the results pages tend to get a little thinner. It could be because, outside of Niagara Falls, Ontario doesn’t seem have the “trophies” that many look for: those iconic images that have drawn the attention of so many photographers throughout the years. Myself, I find the landscape here more subtle; it requires time and contemplation to create images that really stick. Often, I need to visit a place more than once just to start getting a feel for what it’s really like. Georgian Bay is an area that I have only begun to discover. It’s an amazing landscape of rocks and coniferous trees that just astounds once you spend some time there. I can’t wait to get back. 6 responses to “Georgian Bay” Me encantan, bellas tomas! Hey Mike, another nice set of images, I like the clouds in number 1 but, the big foreground in number 3 is killer. Number 3 is my favourite of the group hands down. Thanks very much Lee! That last one was a bit more challenging for me, but I was quite pleased with the results. Glad you liked it! Love the clouds in #2 and details in the rocks in #3. Well done good sir… well done. Thanks man! I was pleased with the second one in particular. That second sunset was a tough new for me. Glad I was able to create something that captured the feel of that evening.

Life Will See You Now by Jens Lekman | 656605033921 | CD | Barnes & Noble® After the release of his 2012 album, I Know What Love Isn't, Jens Lekman went out on tour and quickly realized that his fans hadn't really warmed up to the sad and subdued nature of the new songs. This realization sent Lekman into a bit of a tailspin that led to him questioning the nature of his songs and the character of "Jens" that he had created. He kept working and almost finished an album in 2014, but set it aside when it became clear that it wasn't quite right. Then in 2015 he launched two projects: Postcards, which consisted of Lekman writing and releasing a new song every week; and Ghostwriting, where he would put stories sent to him into lyrics and write music to go with them. The work that went into these undertakings inspired Lekman to rededicate himself to making another album. He teamed up with producer Ewan Pearson, whom he had met while doing guest vocals on a Tracey Thorn album, and started work on a new album. Life Will See You Now swings back from the subtle, more intimate nature of I Know What Love Isn't in favor of a bright and sunny-sounding album that's full of happy samples, disco beats, and cheerful melodies. As for the songs themselves, Lekman has taken a big step away from writing about "himself," and the record is a series of vignettes about other people or conversations he's had with people about life, with all the humor and insight, odd observations, and catchy choruses his songs have always had.

I'm not sure about you but I cannot believe that we have less than two weeks before the kids go back to school. Usually by this time of year my kids are starting to get on each other's last frayed nerve and I'm ready for them to hit the books again and get out of my hair for a bit each day. For some reason this summer is different. Maybe it's because this seems to be the fastest summer EVER! Maybe it's because I'm afraid it's the last summer I may be able to have off with my kids. Or perhaps it's because we're packing in as much fun as we can into this summer which is making it fly by. See, at the beginning of the summer our family sat down and brainstormed a list of things that we wanted to do, visit, eat etc. We called it our Family Summer Bucket List. This list included things like going on hikes (check), going to Great Wolf Lodge (check), getting ice cream at a local organic dairy (check), going to the drive-in (check) and hitting the beach (check!), hitting the all-you-can-eat fish and chips at a local restaurant (hopefully next week), going to Wonderland (hopefully soon) .... So far, we're doing pretty well on our list of fun things to do and even added an impromptu trip to Niagara Falls this week. Can I just say that I adore doing last minute day trips with my family?!? Who doesn't love a nice drive with coffees in hand to get to a new place to explore, have supper out with no normal everyday things to distract us from just spending time together?? It's truly blissful for me to have my family all to myself! In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients until the sugar dissolves. Place chicken in a large Ziploc bag. Pour marinade over chicken and marinate for 4 hours. If possible, flip chicken half way through the marinating time to ensure that the marinade coats the chicken. You know I love you, right? Well tonight you were the Queen of our house. I made this chicken tonight and it was a hit!! Yup I BBQ in Jan. and Yup it is totally worth it :)I used chicken legs, I was feeding a bunch of MAJOR eaters so it is cheaper than chicken breasts. My 3 year old gobbled up 3.thanks. Oh dearest Kym! You know I love you right back. As for the marinade? You liked it! You really LIKED it!! I had a kind of royal feeling all day. Must have been from your marinade love. :) We are also big winter BBQers (by 'we' I mean Brad and by 'winter' I mean come hail, come snow come iced over BBQ my man will grill me some food!). We typically use boneless chicken thighs instead of the pricey breasts but any cut would do. I'd also love to try it on pork tenderloin.Thanks for the shout out. I do love to hear when people use and like what I post. If you're looking for a good salad dressing check out the Maple Balsamic Dressing I posted earlier this week. I lurrrved it! Hi Laurie, I made this on boneless, skinless breasts yesterday for Colin's birthday party. 13 guests and everybody loved it. Thanks for the great recipe!Amanda Amanda, I'm so happy that you guys loved this marinade. You comments reminded me about this recipe. I suffer from the 'so many recipes, so little time' issue. I'm planning on putting on this week's meal plan. Thanks for leaving me a comment. I love hearing that people enjoy my posts. Monday, May 13, 2013 10:47:00 am

Eyeing Lynne's camera lens: October 2011 Happy Halloween! I am in Key West Florida, enjoying some beautiful weather. Fantasy Festival was a lot of fun. All I can say is I am speechless on what to say about what I have seen. Hope to post images soon. Till next time Peace! I have been playing with a iphone app called iDroste, it makes some really cool shapes. Not sure to what I would use them for yet. They all started out with a image I have of a red apple. Till next time Peace! iDroste art, I just upgraded my 3gs to 4s. What a big difference. What surprised me most is the thing is wicked fast, also has great reception. Tell next time ~Peace~ The kids are always watching the carmel apple girls carmel apples. I love watching there reactions. This photo was captured and edited with my Iphone. Fall has arrived the colors have started, and it is changing fast. It has started about two weeks early. The nights are cold into the 40's and todays high only 57 degrees. I hope winter comes and goes as fast as summer has.

I truly love this family..you can help but fall in love with these guys... especially their kids .. they are hilarious.. just like their parents .. so coooooolll ❤️💕💋💕❤️

Rantings on Markets, Economics and Business Strategy: Pathocracy Update - Tesla’s Coming Collapse I’m going to use this post to look at some less than obvious esoteric factors at work in the economy today. As a result, to call into question much of the beliefs commonly held by those who support this system and who are bullish about its future. I think many people will appreciate this post’s stark reality. There is a lot of manipulation going on in Tesla’s stock. Frankly, I wonder if there is some shady dealings going on. The regulators are in the pockets of the Wall Street criminals because the politicians are crooks so we’ll never know. But Morgan Stanley recently raised Tesla’s stock price target to insanity, then professional traders manipulated the stock into the stratosphere and then after this was accomplished Tesla announced another stock offering. A coincidence? What did Einstein say? God doesn’t play dice. In other words, randomness is a delusion of our ego’s perceptions. I wonder if Wall Street plays dice? If Tesla’s stock were trading at a valuation it deserves based on fundamentals, which is somewhere around 99% lower than it is today, then they could never raise the money needed. If they cannot raise money then what? The markets would demand a greater risk premium. That premium may actually may be too much for a startup company to absorb. Remember, Tesla has already benefited from many political favors including guaranteed taxpayer loans. Maybe a lower stock price and higher risk premiums would result in bankruptcy or a future that is grounded in reality (ie the company is a startup that still may fail) or something similar. There certainly is a club and we aren’t in it. This system is so rotten that what is outright insanity, if not fraud and corruption, has become accepted without question. Almost every aspect of our lives is described by this greater truth. Tesla’s valuation today is closing in on the GDP of Bolivia, Bulgaria, Ethiopia, Kenya, Macau and Serbia. It has already surpassed the GDP of dozens of countries. Yet, Tesla’s economic output is comparatively just about zero. Have you ever wondered why Tesla can trade at nearly one thousand times EBITDA? This when tens of millions of Americans are enduring a debt-enslaved, nonliving wage existence paycheck to paycheck or worse. This when poverty is at record levels on our nation. This when the real unemployment rate is 25%. This when we are told there is no money for any type of democratic programs. We don’t have enough money to pay a living wage but we have enough money to plow Tesla’s stock to a level discounting one thousand years of earnings. Let the market decide. Hahaha! Well it has. The market decided that so much money should flow into Tesla that it is worth one thousand years of earnings and that millions of American citizens aren’t worth keeping alive. Or they are worth just enough to keep barely alive. Why? Because private, for-profit capital can’t extract any rent or profit exploitation from them. I’m sure if it wasn’t so heinous that the nonliving wage class would bring back the guillotine, the free market would be fine with actually allowing the untermensch to just die. A life enslaved to a nonliving wage job can’t be much more rewarding than death anyway. Why else do Chinese workers jump out of factory windows? This kind of Godless dystopian madness cannot be made up. Orwell would be blushing right now at the dystopian state horror that is far worse than he ever imagined. How come that money plowing into Tesla isn’t instead being distributed to serve the needs of democracy, community and society? Or, how come that money isn’t being distributed to others who can create another few hundred or ten thousand companies like Tesla? It’s the same reason Tesla exists in the first place. Cronyism and corruption that is private, for-profit, rent-seeking capital. Well, and the fact that private, for-profit, rent-seeking capital has created the most massive financial bubble in the history of the world. How does Tesla rate to receive guaranteed taxpayer-backed government loans when it had never turned a profit? Where is your guaranteed loan? Or where are the guaranteed loans from untold numbers of suppressed entrepreneurs who can’t get one?Frankly, this is how Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla, and countless others made their wealth in the first place. Musk had a small business that merged with another company during the Internet bubble. That company was then purchased by Paypal again during the Internet bubble. Then eBay purchased PayPal, again during the Internet bubble. And, as a result of that gargantuan Internet money bubble, he received magnitudes more money for his company than it was actually worth. Actually, his company was apparently worth little or nothing because it was scrapped by Paypal. But that didn’t stop him from becoming a billionaire through the money printing idiocy of the Internet bubble. So, we saw this magnification effect of companies buying companies inflated in value by magnitudes. Once you get to the third of fourth iteration of companies buying companies the magnification effect on money was insane. Magnitudes times magnitudes of company mergers and buyouts, the cash-out payments for those in the club became stupidly beyond any semblance of reality. By the way, this still happen. So, let’s take a look at what I am talking about. A hypothetical of what was happening during the Internet bubble. Let’s say a company is bought for 50x what it is worth. Frankly, maybe it has never made a profit so it may actually be worth little to nothing at all. Buying companies that are worthless or substantially so happened time and again during the Internet bubble and many times since. Then that company is again bought by another company for 75x what it is worth. Then again this company is bought by another for 20x what it is worth. If your investment was originally $10,000, you are now worth $10,000x50x75x20. Or your $10,000 is now worth $750,000,000. Voila! You are now a member of the one percent and you never really did anything other than support the predatory mergers and acquisitions game. All courtesy of the criminal Wall Street racket. Yes, it is a club. Not a club based on merit but on corruption and fraud. Not every example is so extreme but this reality of “cashing out” is quite common. I doubt most participants are even mindful of its madness. Their ego tells them that they are brilliant and they deserve what they have “earned”. The same ego that tells them that millions of Americans aren’t worthy of a living wage. The rot is so ingrained and accepted that this is the American dream for the ego-driven unbridled ambition for many college “educated”. And we actually encourage our children to embrace this system. Remember, the German people giggled with glee under the leadership of the Nazi Party because they too closed their eyes to greater truth. Frankly, as an aside, eBay itself has excelled because millions of Americans have essentially created an undercurrent barter and broker economy to stay alive. That’s really what eBay mainly represents. In many ways, they have become renter capitalists as well. Not by choice but through the force of the state. Yes, some corporations have become involved in selling overproduction on eBay but it’s success is predicated on working class people bartering and brokering to stay alive. eBay flourishes substantially because our economy is and has been collapsing for decades. (More on this in my upcoming series of posts.) Remember that barter and broker comment because I have made it before about what may be coming. It’s already here for millions. Most who serve the corporatocracy just aren’t mindfully aware of their ego’s own delusions so they don’t see it. Today Musk took the money he made in the Internet bubble to make cars for the one percent. In other words, to make cars for those who made him rich during the Internet bubble. A little bit of quid pro quo or back scratching that has come to define success in Amerika. I doubt that was his mindful intent but the reality is the best opportunity to make money in this system is to serve the class who controls the flow of money. There is no doubt any astute person recognizes this. I will grant Tesla that it employs quite a few people. Most of whom cannot afford the product they make. I thought we used to call out capitalists who made things that their workers couldn’t afford as Robber Barons. But now they are revered as magnates. Ha! Steven Jobs is the poster child for this dynamic. How much of what is made in this world is unaffordable to those who make things for the amusement of their masters? That class-based dynamic continues to swell. Now, some people will view this post singling out Elon Musk. Meh. That is simply not my intent. I just don’t mindlessly chant ignorance in support of how this unjust system of control operates or why Tesla’s stock is hundreds of times more expensive than the average stock in 1929. I’m simply using an example to build a narrative of larger importance. Personally, I think Musk exhibits many admirable qualities and respect him as a human being. I’m simply asking people to think beyond the end of their nose. Elon Musk is worthy as all people are. As all life is. I wish Musk an abundant life as I do all people. Actually I wish we had more people like Musk. That is, more people who actually embraced science, the method through which humanity is propelled into abundance, and who valued building things. And building them well as Tesla does. Then there would be millions more Elon Musks in this world. And, rather than building cars for the one percent, wouldn’t it be nice if we had an economic system that encouraged them to build things that actually allowed more of humanity to reap benefits? That will never happen as long as our world is controlled by pathocrats, private banking, private money creation and private, profit-seeking capital because they care more about their gods of money, class rank and title than they do about humanity. We can clearly see this greater truth with the massive poverty that exists in a world of unprecedented abundance. In closing, it is quite plausible that Tesla’s collapse will include more than in its stock. It could be the company itself that collapses. I think all of the other Obama crony investments have already failed. To be honest, I doubt that Tesla is actually long for this world either. That’s a common theme on here as I have noted that we could see corporations fall like dominos as this system unwinds. Tesla is benefiting from exogenous, temporary factors as noted on here before. If carbon energy prices implode, and that is a long term thesis on here that I remain very comfortable with, there isn’t going to a line out the door for electric cars. Well, and if that happens, most of the illusion of wealth in this world created through central bank money printing (that created the one percent Tesla serves) is going to disappear anyway. In other words, both the one percent and the electric auto industry are going to be exposed as a temporary mirage. What a great irony. The very system that birthed Musk’s wealth and Tesla may destroy them both. That’s simply another manifestation of the endless contradictions of corporate capitalism.

Some look to Bible for financial guidance - tribunedigital-chicagotribune Advice developed on spending, debt, how money is viewed April 23, 2006|BY GREGORY KARP, a personal finance writer for The Morning Call, a Tribune Co. newspaper in Allentown, Pa. Inspiration for handling money smarter stems from a variety of sources. Math and logic might inspire some people, while understanding emotional spending triggers provides an "Aha!" moment for others. Many people are turning toward spiritual guidance to get their financial lives on track. It's especially gaining traction among Christians, who point to some 2,350 references to money in the Bible. "People know that they've got personal struggles," said Howard Dayton, chief executive officer of Crown Financial Ministries and author of the new book "Free and Clear: God's Road Map to Debt-Free Living" (Moody Publishers, $12.99). "People, I think, are really hungry to find answers," he said. Crown Financial Ministries offers Bible-based financial advice at seminars in churches throughout the country. Similarly, radio talk-show host Dave Ramsey, who wrote the best-selling book "The Total Money Makeover," weaves common-sense personal finance with the Bible daily on his show. His class, Financial Peace University, is taught at churches and other organizations throughout the country. Dayton said he's aware that some people like to keep money and religion separate. "It's totally understandable that many people partition handling money from their spiritual life and view it as secular," he said. "What you see in scripture is there's no partition at all. It's, in fact, one of the key pieces in the puzzle in a person growing in their spiritual life." Dayton said 15 percent of everything Jesus says in the Bible is about money and possessions. And how you handle money reflects your values, he said. "It's tangible. If you show me your calendar and your checkbook, I can tell you what's really important to you," he said. Christianity isn't the only faith to acknowledge a link between money and religion. For example, similar attitudes about overspending and debt are present in Judaism, and Islam forbids the charging or paying of interest. But Christians celebrated Easter last week and 77 percent of adult Americans identify themselves as Christians, according to the Census Bureau, so here are Biblical notions about money and spending that might inspire you, whether or not you are religious: "The borrower is servant to the lender" (Proverbs 22:7). "That's probably the key passage with respect to the heart of God when it comes to debt," said Dayton, who said he had to dig his own way out of significant debt during the 1970s. The Bible doesn't address which types of debt might be more acceptable than others, but Dayton teaches that debt for a home, education and business are OK, although he does advocate paying off a home mortgage early. "I can say from my own experience that once we had our own home paid for, we were able to give much more generously, and we were really able to increase our saving and investing significantly," Dayton said. The type of borrowing that is hurting many Americans is car loans, he said. "Car debt is, if not the biggest, then one of the biggest, inhibitors keeping people from being financially free," he said. Crown's financial plan advocates keeping a car for at least three years after paying it off, but keep making the monthly payments to your bank account. That way, when you need another car, the trade-in value of your old car plus the saved money should be enough to pay cash for a decent used car. Keeping up with the Joneses has been a persistent problem. The solution is to find contentment in what you already have. The word contentment appears seven times in the Bible, six of which are references to handling money and possessions, Dayton said. One example: "I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret to being content in any and every situation" (Philippians 4:10-13). Contentment allowed Dayton, for example, to drive what his kids called the "rotten Chiquita," an ugly yellow station wagon, while the family was getting out of debt. "It didn't bother me one bit," he said. "It is required in stewards that one be found faithful" (1 Corinthians 4:2). Americans and the American Dream are tied to the concept of ownership. That perhaps makes more difficult an idea that people don't own anything but are just handing money and possessions for God. "He's the owner of everything, and we're merely stewards, managers of what he entrusts to us," Dayton said. If nothing else, being God's money manager "elevates all your financial decisions," he said. "When you're handling it for the creator of the universe, you want to do it his way."

Clear Thinking ink: When the pipes burst When the pipes burst Nothing in life is guaranteed. Not love, security, happiness or health. The only thing I know for sure is that I am in charge of choosing how to respond to the good and the bad that comes my way. Yesterday, I learned the city water line that comes into my house has sprung a leak -- and it's my responsibility to have it replaced. Yikes - that will be messy and expensive. I'd love there to be someone to blame, someone to take responsibility. But there is no one and nothing to blame. The pipes are old and I happen to own the property they service. Damn and blast, but there you have it. Life. When you least expect it. Smacks you in the eye. I am overwhelmed and exhausted even before I begin to sort this out. But focusing on those emotions will get me precisely nowhere. Pick myself up. Dust myself off. And start calling those contractors. That'll get the ball rolling and repairs happening. Even though each step brings me one closer to my lovingly tended front yard being dug up, it's the only way through this mess. And it's going to get messier. Oh well. At least the basement hasn't flooded...yet. Posted by Amanda LeRougetel at 9:38 AM Labels: attitude, disaster, old pipes, perspective Annalise Johnnie said... Well, good for you for being so calm about this. It's not a great situation, but the best thing to do is to get moving and seek a solution to the problem. You're acting pretty quickly, but not rashly. I hope those pipes of yours get fixed and no severe flooding happens in your basement. -Annalise Johnnie

What you need to know about the Clinton-Sanders divide on fracking - The Washington Post What you need to know about the Clinton-Sanders divide on fracking Update, 3/10/2016: In their debate Wednesday night in Miami, the difference between the two candidates on fracking was again in focus. Clinton argued there that “We need to implement all of the president’s executive actions and quickly move to make a bridge from coal to natural gas to clean energy.” In contrast, Sanders declared, “I hope you’ll join me in ending fracking in the United States of America.” When Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders debated Sunday night in Flint, Mich., their similarities often seemed larger than the differences. Both are outraged by the Flint water crisis. Both agree that climate change is one of the biggest threats that we, as a global society, face. However, a significant difference persists between the two Democratic candidates on the issue of fracking — the practice of pumping huge volumes of water, containing some chemicals, deep underground at high pressures to crack open shale layers and release oil and natural gas. Fracking is currently responsible for one of the biggest transformations that we’ve seen in the energy space in some time. By unleashing vast reserves of so-called “unconventional” gas, for instance, it’s a key factor behind a run of starkly low natural gas prices, which recently touched just $ 1.61 per million BTUs, or British thermal units. Sanders, nevertheless, wants a ban on fracking. Or as he put it in Michigan, “I do not support fracking.” He added, “I talk to scientists who tell me that fracking is doing terrible things to water systems all over this country. We have gotta be bold now. We gotta transform our energy system to energy efficiency and sustainable energy.” Clinton’s view was more nuanced, though some observers find the overall tone harder on fracking than she has been in the past. On Sunday, she said she doesn’t support fracking where it is causing environmental damage, is opposed by states themselves (such as in Clinton’s own New York), or where the chemicals used aren’t disclosed. But she came far short of opposing it outright, later adding, “I’ve already said we are taking away the subsidies for oil and gas, but it is important that people understand that a president can’t go ordering folks around. Our system doesn’t permit that.” On her campaign website, Clinton says that “Domestically produced natural gas can play an important role in the transition to a clean energy economy,” striking a tone that seems very consistent with President Obama’s “all of the above” energy approach, and with the widely publicized notion that natural gas can serve as a “bridge fuel” enabling a shift to completely renewable energy, since it releases much less carbon dioxide than coal when burned. “You have some folks in the U.S. who want to see an outright ban on fracking, and then you have other people who want to see more substantial regulation of the practice, and I would say that as between the two of them, that represents the majority of Americans on the topic,” says Mark Brownstein, who heads the Environmental Defense Fund’s work on natural gas and methane emissions from the sector. In other words, at a time when the next president will likely oversee sweeping and consequential changes in how we get energy, the difference between Clinton and Sanders on natural gas — one of the key upstarts in the space of late — is very real. So let’s look more closely at some of the key issues at stake here: Water contamination. When it comes to charges about fracking’s contamination of water supplies, few deny that at least some problems have occurred in specific places. But the extent of the issue, and whether it is systemic or merely occasional, remains very much contested. A draft assessment on the topic, completed by the EPA last year, failed to find “widespread, systemic impacts on drinking water resources in the United States.” Rather, it found that while there were some water contamination problems, “the number of identified cases, however, was small compared to the number of hydraulically fractured wells.” Granted, the new report also estimates that some 25,000-30,000 new wells “were drilled and hydraulically fractured annually” in the U.S. over the period from 2011 to 2014. So, even a small failure rate could lead to numerous impacts. Some environmental groups have heavily critiqued this report. The passage above also triggered criticism from the EPA’s Science Advisory Board. In its latest review draft of the EPA’s report, the board singled out this much-cited passage and said that it requires “clarification and additional explanation,” and that the EPA should “discuss the significant data limitations and uncertainties” in relation to this and other major findings. “I think there’s a mismatch between the details of the EPA report and their headline message,” says Rob Jackson, a professor of Earth science at Stanford. “Their own work has documented hundreds of cases of water contamination and water issues. On the other hand, it depends on how you define ‘widespread.’” Other environmental consequences of fracking got less attention at the debate, but are also worth weighing. For instance, there are concerns about air pollution near fracking operations. Methane emissions. Most significant from a climate perspective, there are also worries that fracking and the broader unconventional gas revolution are leading to more accidental releases of methane, a potent but short-lived greenhouse gas. “Because of the methane issue, and because it’s really the only way to slow climatic warming on the timescale of the next few decades, I think shale gas is probably worse overall than coal,” said Robert Howarth, a researcher at Cornell University who published one of the first estimates of fugitive methane emissions believed to be coming from shale gas drilling. The EPA recently revised upward its estimates of how much methane is being emitted by U.S. oil and gas operations, notes Environmental Defense’s Brownstein. And he expects that the number is still underestimated. “Current methods of reporting don’t take into account emissions from sporadic, but significant emissions events that come from equipment failures, equipment malfunctions, leaks that occur over time. Aliso Canyon is a dramatic example of that kind of event,” Brownstein said. The Obama administration has proposed new rules to limit fugitive methane emissions from oil and gas operations, but as Jackson notes, these only cover operations on public lands. “I think the challenge with Hillary’s position is, she’s not in a position to regulate the industry strongly except on federal lands,” he said. Methane versus carbon dioxide. Without denying the significance or the scale of this problem, it must also be said that methane is not the same as the most worrisome greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide. Indeed, the two gases are so different that, despite many pat statements suggesting that methane is “more powerful,” the truth is that they are extremely difficult and complex to even compare. Once emitted, some proportion of carbon dioxide stays in the atmosphere for thousands of years. In contrast, methane has a much stronger immediate warming effect, but it only lasts in the atmosphere for a little more than 10 years. This means both that reducing methane has a more immediate impact on warming, but also that when it comes to the long-term, geological fate of the planet, today’s methane emissions are of considerably less consequence than carbon dioxide emissions, because they lack the staying power. However, Howarth argues, in the shorter term methane really matters. “The climate simply responds too slowly to change in carbon dioxide emissions,” he said. “We’re going to sail right through the Paris target if we concentrate just on carbon dioxide.” Gas versus coal. But weighing the issue fairly, it’s also quite clear that fracking is having at least one environmental benefit, from a climate change perspective. Namely, fracking, by enabling the unconventional natural gas revolution in the U.S., has greatly increased overall natural gas supply and, therefore, driven down cost. “Affordable and abundant natural gas has ushered in an era of substantially lower prices than they otherwise would have been without the unconventional revolution,” noted a 2014 report by IHS. Cheap natural gas, in turn, is displacing carbon-intensive coal in the electricity sector. While the burning of coal provided 39 percent of U.S. electricity in 2014, that dropped to 34 percent in 2015 — and U.S. greenhouse gas emissions declined accordingly, according to an analysis by Bloomberg New Energy Finance. And so far in 2016, prices have plunged even lower than they did in 2015. Just how good this news is, though, depends on a consideration of all the long term consequences of cheap gas – not all of which are immediately clear to us. “An energy policy that takes coal offline, especially old coal plants, is a winning energy policy,” said Stanford’s Rob Jackson. “What we don’t know is how much natural gas will displace renewables, compared to complement renewables. That’s what we need to know.” In sum, the environmental issues around fracking remain real, yet also contested and complex. This is not an easy or simple issue and it is not one where you can really give a black and white answer. And maybe that’s not so surprising, in that this is a relatively new phenomenon that is sweeping the U.S. energy arena, in many cases faster than science can keep up with it. More will, undoubtedly, come into focus in the coming years — under the next president. In light of all this, the difference between Clinton and Sanders is one that voters should definitely be aware of. Clinton is more of a pragmatist who is closer to President Obama, whose “all of the above” energy policy is just as critiqued by some environmentalists as his climate change actions are praised. Sanders wants a much faster transition to renewable energy, rather than using a “bridge fuel” like natural gas (or, for that matter, nuclear power) in the interim. That’s a debate that will continue to play itself out constantly from the center out toward the environmental left — and it may ultimately be one of the most important ones there is for the U.S.’s energy future.

Life through the eyes of a Surgeon: Pushing the Envelope Complacency is extraordinarily common in every line of work. This is no different in surgery. Surgeons will commonly learn new techniques only after they have been widely published with prospective randomized placebo controlled trials. Less often, they will learn new techniques if there is a public demand. And even less commonly, surgeons will learn new techniques simply because they push the envelope of surgical technology. A great example of this is SILS, or single incision laparoscopic surgery. This technique utilizes the same instrumentation and essentially the same operative technique as traditional laparoscopic surgery but it does so through one incision site which is hidden inside the belly button. As a result, patients get a virtually scar-less operation. This technique is being slowly adopted throughout the United States. Surgeons are commonly reluctant to learn this new technique because it achieves only cosmetic improvement and makes fairly simple operations slightly more time-consuming and certainly more difficult. I learned this technique almost 3 years ago and immediately began to adopt this in my practice. Admittedly, it was a steep learning curve and no doubt added some extra time to my operations. However, as my technique improved, operative times decreased to roughly the same as traditional laparoscopic surgery. Interestingly, I have noticed an added benefit. By pushing the envelope and forcing myself out of my comfort zone, I have become a markedly better technical surgeon. In all aspects of my laparoscopic surgical technique I have noticed better conservation of motion (a technical quality of no wasted movement; more efficient) and much improved surgical technique. It is important to note that many surgeons will never learn this technique and will still have excellent outcomes and excellent patient satisfaction. So why would one want to do this? I propose two reasons. First, I have come to realize that pushing the envelope and putting yourself outside of your comfort zone to learn new techniques is really an integral part of being a good surgeon. Without learning this technique, my skills would not have advanced as they have. I am convinced that my patients all benefit from this regardless of the operation they are getting. Secondly, it contributes to the advancement of surgical care not only by improving one's general operative techniques but by pressuring technology to improve. Already, we have seen integration of single incision surgery and robotics and without the push towards the single incision movement this may not have been realized as quickly. Currently, this technique is usually applied to the more routine operations, such as gallbladder and appendix removal. But, given the speed of technological innovation, it is reasonable to imagine most major abdominal operations being performed through one very small incision in the abdominal wall, and probably by robots with extremely small but versatile instrumentation. However, for this to happen, surgeons need to continue to push the envelope in not only their operative technique but also their forward thinking. Posted by Christopher Roseberry at 9:18 AM

← The Poetry of Silence The Unclean Children of God → Born in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., Danby’s vast portfolio includes everything from portraits of famous Canadians to athletes in mid-play and landscape paintings so crystalline that at first glance they resemble photographs. As an artist, Ken Danby’s work was loved more by the people than it was revered by the critics. Although his works were bought by museums, he found his best, most rewarding and lasting appeal among private collectors and purveyors of popular culture. A superb draftsman and a prodigious and prolific artist of his own time, he was a realistic painter who reflected quotidian events, natural landscapes and athletic prowess to mass audiences, rather than an abstract expressionist who created troubling, edgy canvasses for an intellectual elite. The prolific artist was known as the school artist from the time he was very young. At 18, he enrolled in the Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto, where one of his teachers was Group of Seven member J. E. H. Macdonald. Other students called him Vincent because of his goatee and the fact that he was a loner who seemed to be obsessive about drawing and painting. “I was intense and almost fanatical about drawing and did hundreds of studies, mostly in pen, during my first year.” OCAD’s preference in abstract expressionism was at odds with his interest in precise figurative drawing, and he left to pursue a number of design jobs before finally launching a free-lance career with Gallery Moos. His 1972 painting of a masked ice-hockey goalie hunched in the crease is considered by many to be a Canadian national symbol. The anonymous player represents every goalie who has ever waited for a shot to test his or her mettle, but it also captures the tension of that moment when the arena goes silent and fans stop breathing as all become one with the solitary figure down on the ice. As an indication of the painting’s significance in popular culture, Mr. Danby put the image on a hockey mask as a fundraiser for spinal cord research and it raised $15,100 (U.S.) at a charity auction on NHL.com in November, 2006. While many Canadians connect Danby with hockey images, he points out they make up only a dozen images in a long painting career. “I still love the game,” he said in a 2002 interview. “I respond to it, so there’s that appeal. That there has been such a focus on them in Canada shows that I’ve tapped into something that has to do with Canada’s soul and spirit.” He also has done portraits of Canadian icons such as singer Gordon Lightfoot and former prime minister Pierre Trudeau. And he is renowned for his landscapes, including the 1997 painting Niagara. A retrospective at the Joseph Carrier Gallery in 2004 featured 60 paintings, many capturing Canadian scenes such as Lake Louise. He received many honours, including the Order of Ontario and the Order of Canada. It is tempting to imagine ironies both cruel and poetic in the death of Mr. Danby, the realist, while canoeing in the same wilderness (although at a different lake) where expressionist landscape painter Tom Thomson drowned 90 years ago. The coincidences and the metaphors may not bear serious scrutiny – they interpreted and represented nature in different ways – but both men loved the wilderness and were exploring its richness when they died suddenly and before their time, causing great shock and grief to their families, friends and admirers.

Mill Talk: Profit and Paternalism - The Boston Associates and the Explosion of the New England Textile Industry Tickets, Wed, Nov 15, 2017 at 7:00 PM | Eventbrite Mill Talk: Profit and Paternalism - The Boston Associates and the Explosion... Profit and Paternalism: The Boston Associates and the Explosion of the New England Textile Industry (1813-1860) by Amy S. Green, Ph.D. Resident Historian at the Charles River Museum of Industry & Innovation LOGO OF THE BOSTON MANUFACTURING COMPANY, THE FIRST FULLY-INTEGRATED AND MECHANIZED TEXTILE MILL IN THE WORLD, AND THE FIRST COMPANY CREATED BY THE GROUP OF MEN WHO WOULD BECOME KNOWN POSTHUMOUSLY AS THE "BOSTON ASSOCIATES." In 1934, historian Vera Shlakman coined the term “Boston Associates.” She discovered that a small group of investors from Boston were critical to the larger industrial development of New England, and beyond. This group, joined together by social and blood ties, consolidated wealth and dominated the American textile industry during the first half of the nineteenth century. This talk will explore the technological innovations, new business strategies, and shared ideals that characterized the Boston Associates, beginning with Francis Cabot Lowell and the Boston Manufacturing Company in 1813. Our Museum resides on that historic site. As absentee owners, they not only ruled the industrial life in places like Lowell, Lawrence, Chicopee, Manchester, and Saco, they also contributed to the economic growth of these once-small villages. Men like Patrick Tracy Jackson, Francis Cabot Lowell, John Amory Lowell, and Nathan Appleton, to name a few, were linked together not only because they had made it to the top of Boston’s elite, but because they wanted to make sure that industrial growth did not run amok; but, was restrained by traditional values of community, hard work, social obligation, and decency. This talk will explore the philosophy, history, achievements, and legacy of this group of trailblazing men who made manifest the vision of the great American innovator, Francis Cabot Lowell. This talk begins at 7:00pm. Doors open at 6:30.

Our Molecular Future: How Nanotechnology, Robotics, Genetics, and Artificial Intelligence Will Transform Our World by Douglas Mulhall | 9781573929929 | Hardcover | Barnes & Noble® B&N's Biggest Books Books by Author Book Awards Books by Series Collectible Editions Coming Soon Coupons & Deals New Releases NY Times Bestsellers The Paperback Store Signed Books Our Molecular Future explores some intriguing possibilities that answer these questions and many others. Douglas Mulhall describes the exponential changes that are about to be wrought by the nanotechnology and robotic revolutions, which promise to reduce the scale of computing to the nanometer—a billionth of a meter—while increasing computing power to almost unimaginable levels. But while technology is making these fantastic leaps, we may also encounter surprises that throw us into disarray: climate changes, earthquakes, or even a seemingly improbable asteroid collision. These extremes are not the nightmare scenarios of sensationalists, Mulhall stresses, nor are many of them human induced. Instead, they may be part of nature's cycle—recurring more often than we've thought possible.

Buried by Books: Romance and Mystery Reviews: Recipe: Caramel Pecan Brownies Recipe: Caramel Pecan Brownies These were originally from a Pillsbury pamphlet cookbook. I have no idea what issue.

Mix sugar, butter, vanilla and eggs in a large bowl. Stir in flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt. Spread in the pan as evenly as possible. Sprinkle with pecans. Heat caramels and milk in saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently, until caramels are melted.* drizzle over warm brownies. Cool completely, about 1 hr. Cut into 4 rows by 4 rows. 16 brownies. *You can also pop the caramels and milk in the microwave and cook on high for 30 seconds.

Defending Jacob | All Book'd Up Too Bright to Heart Too Loud to See → April 26, 2013 · 11:47 am Synopsis: Andy Barber has a wonderful life – a successful career as an Assistant DA and a picture perfect family. But all of that is about to change. A horrific murder happens in Andy’s small town, and he is naturally the first pick to investigate. But not a minute later, Andy’s son is accused of murder and Andy is immediately removed from the case. He will now be forced to look at the flip-side of the law to protect Jacob, who he knows is innocent. Thoughts: Sometimes I feel like a broken record on these things. I read a good book and tend to say the same things over and over. Yes, I am fully aware that I tout characters, plot, and writing over and over. And yes, I probably use words like “interesting” and “amazing” far too often. But then I read a book that bowls me over and throws new words in my head. So I’m thinking stuff like “snakey plot” and “holy bananas” and “bazooka bubble gum” and I need a minute to collect my thoughts because that. was. AWESOME! For starters, William Landay creates some of the most complex characters I’ve read about in a long time. And not dumb complex, but totally believable. The flawed end up being perfect and the perfect end up being flawed. Strangely enough, it wasn’t the relationships that I drooled over as usual, but the actual characters themselves. Individually (and together, for that matter), these people were just magnificent. But the thing that differentiated this novel from other crime fiction were the little snippets of information that would reveal part of the plot in the future. As much as I enjoyed reading the story (and obviously learning more about those characters), it was these small clues that made it almost impossible to put down the book. I knew something was up the whole time – there had to be answers to questions that were left behind! And through some sort of witch magic, Landay brings out the hidden puzzle piece (You know the one that somehow turns up unexpectedly in your sister’s left shoe?) and we’re left with a most pristine explanation – and a complete picture of lunacy. “Damage hardens us all. It will harden you too when it finds you – and it will find you.” SO GOOOOD!! Up Next: Too Bright to Hear Too Loud to See by Juliann Garey One response to “Defending Jacob”

Nicky'S Nails'N Stuff: ^_^ MONDAY KOTD ^_^ ^_^ MONDAY KOTD ^_^ I hope you all had a great and relaxing weekend!! If your goal was to have a busy or work related weekend, then I hope your weekend went as planned :) I did my nails, well I do my nails all the time but I took a pic of my nails to share with you. I also bought a couple of Revlon polishes Orchid and Gold Coin. I also wanted to try the new Orly QUO brand Turquoise Moonlight. It is hard to see how sparkly this one is with this crappy cell phone pic. I got these at Shoppers Drug Mart. I have not been able to get any new polishes due to my promising my hubby that if we got the new Ipad 2 I would go on a no-buy till Jan. However this is not turning out to be possible. I have made two full months so I am gonna have to break my promise on Friday when I get paid. I am going to order something from somewheres I don't even know yet. My hubby has been wondering why I have been cranky lately. I think I figured it out today when I was happy all day after getting just three little beauties to come home. So, if he wants to still be married by Christmas than he better let me out of our deal. Or at least not freak when I make a couple orders this weekend. LOL Do you ladies have that feeling when it's been way too long since getting some new nail stuff??? I have always tried to make smaller orders so I can get more stuff coming to me but when it's been too long I don't know what to get first. I also really can't go overboard cuz Christmas and my sons Bday on Dec 1st is coming soon. Enough of my yapping. I used many colors for this mani, if you want to know just leave a comment so I can get them down for you. I stick to my go to neons mainly from CC and CG. Posted by Nicole Horsman at 7:04:00 AM

3 Moms In 1 (archive): Does neon make me look fat? LOL! The photo of you on the sofa really made me laugh. My mom still swears that the reason I LOVE Mexican food as much as I do is because she ate it so much while she was pregnant. That, and being raised in Texas didn't hurt either :) Maybe that's why I (subconsciously?) married into a Mexican family???!!!! I can't imagine going to Vegas pregnant. You were a brave soul! You're right on the money (Vegas pun, haha) when you said that there were at least an abundance of food with their infamous buffets. I think dessert would've been my favorite part too. Even though I didn't indulge, somehow my daughter is also addicted to sweets. Must be a rite of passage...

Pocket Jacks: New At Say Anything: Canada Has A Goal For How Long Emergency Room Waits Should Be Posted by Jay W. at 11:09 AM

Journey to Noelle ~ And Our Life This Moment: A Roman's 12:2 Attitude Recently I went away on a prayer retreat. This was just what I needed-- just what The Doctor ordered (God, the Great Physician). I received a breath of heavenly sweet air, a supernatural caffeine shot to the soul, and a mind altering drug called "Holy Ghost Pow-ah!". Amen!!! Why was this retreat so important? Well, those of you who have been following the blog over recent months have seen how I have been struggling with the huge adjustments of this past year. I was loosing myself. I was forgetting who I was (am) in Christ. For those new to the blog, here's the short version: ~Raising seemingly insurmountable funds to adopt our daughter, the majority of which were raised just weeks leading up to our trip in March (never borrowed a penny - PTL!) ~Preparing and packing for and taking a 2 week trip to China (even as I type this, it's still hard for me to believe that we actually went to China!!! woah.) ~Diving head first into mothering a transracially adopted child - an "active" toddler (that would be the polite way of stating: way-too-smart and way-too-fast for this aching-back, sore-knees, low-on-sleep, heading-towards-forty mommy) ~Moving to a new house and community, where the city is beautiful and friendly, but nothing is normal or consistent or comfortable, and the parsonage still doesn't feel like home ~Joining a congregation much larger than our previous one, with all of the expectations and responsibilities that come with the new position / role as pastor's wife These were the big adjustments. But then God gave me a Re-Adjustment!! (God, the Great...Chiropractor??) He changed my whole outlook on life. Here's how Romans 12:2 puts it: I was getting bogged down to the point where I couldn't see my way out. But I could not - no, I would not - stay in this place of despair any longer. My life, my family and my walk with God were (are) much too important to continue letting myself slide down into the pit of hopelessness, doubt and discouragement...and into the enemy's waiting hands. 'he' seeks to kill, steal and destroy. (John 10:10) 'he' prowls around me seeking to destroy my life. (I Peter 5:8) God is SOOOOOOOO much stronger. The Battle is already won. So I needed to seek out The Victor. I had to take some uninterrupted time away to study and reflect upon God's Word, and to pray and listen to His message for my life. Here's what I did-- I told Eric that I needed a prayer retreat away, and he agreed this would be of great benefit to me. He said he was glad to be a "single-dad" for a few days and would "handle things". He gave me his blessing and support, even though this would mean some juggling of his schedule (thankfully Noelle has Tues/Thurs preschool) and some intense one-on-one time with our rambunctious toddler. Then I called my parents and invited myself over for a few days of the following week. They were more than happy to offer me a place of retreat. So with 2 bibles (I like reading in different translations), a spiral notebook and a willing spirit, I headed to Knoxville. What a precious time it was!! Mom and Dad gave me plenty of space to hide away in the guest room for times of study and reflection. We prayed together and sung praise-and-worship music together on several occasions. My parents loving listened as I shared my new insights and the lessons God was teaching me. Then I listened as they shared from the wisdom of many, many years loving God. Ahhhhhh. This time was like water to a dry, thirsty soul. Thank You, my Heavenly Father. I took 5 days to focus on God. I asked Him to chip away the old yucky parts of me and replace them with something beautiful and new. My energy is now focused on God. I am back to letting Him guide my steps and give me the energy and rest I need. I am now looking with great anticipation to the future. I am enjoying my life again! PRAISE HIS NAME!!! I wholeheartedly recommend taking these steps of transformation if YOU find yourself in the same condition I was. Lean on your support system of family, friends, your church congregation, etc. Find - MAKE - the time to be with God so you, too, can have an "attitude adjustment", a renewing of your mind. **To Eric, Mom and Dad, I am so very grateful to you, my precious family, to have given me this most needed gift. You are truly a special blessing!!! Thank you! :) I love that, Jennifer!! Thank you for sharing with us. What a blessing to ME! I love that verse that you referenced and wanted to share what I feel the Lord showed me as I was reading it AGAIN on your blog. (Isn't it funny how you can read a verse over and over and the Lord reveals something new. I guess that why it is Living and Active!) I'll show you what jumped out at me...."Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. THEN you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will." Then. Its such a simple word but that's exactly what you did in your time away. You allowed God to renew your mind....now(Then) you can see better, hear better, seek Him better, and find what His will is for this new season in your life. Probably just rambled on and it may not have made any sense. But I'm happy for you and your time away!! It makes GREAT sense! I LIKE it!! Thank you for that insight. And thank you also for your many encouraging posts to the blog. You are a special (albeit far way in cyberland) friend who I deeply appreciate. And miss. (I find the further I go into this adotive parenting journey, I miss even more the friends who started it with us all the way back in Anhui!) Please tell Brian and the kids "hello" from the Johnsons.

Ian's Blog II: Dog-Walker Another great post that had me laughing all the way through, especially as I'm familiar with the characters and the setting. It seems like we all have someone like Dog-Walker in our lives at one time or another. Or is it just our family that does? linser Linser I thing Dog-Walker-types are necessary. Our family definitly has attracted our fair share. Glad you thought it was funny. Well, The Dog Walker really doesn't sound too different to me from many of the other characters who've been known to work under the roof of that restaurant.

CMS expert | CSS | HTML5 | Javascript | jQuery / Prototype | PHP This project received 14 bids from talented freelancers with an average bid price of $938 USD. I need a website developed. I basicaaly need a mobile app but i will start with a website first so i have all features i need. How will this work? The app will basically be like an adding game where the more points you have, the more followers you'll get. When a user follows someone, login daily, share our app on their newsfeed, refer users, they'll get points. Users will login to the app with instagram obviously. V.I.P - This section will be for the users who had paid to be featured. Top 6 Yesterday- Users with the most amount of points at the end of the day will be shown here. Top 6 Today- Users with the most amount of points up to date will be shown here Regular users (90)- This part will be for rest of the people who aren't featured in any of the other sections. The number of spots will be 90 since Instagram has a limit of following 90 people per hour. How this will work is recent logins. Let's say user A logged in 4 minutes ago. He will be shown on top. Than user B logged in 2 minutes ago. He will be shown before user "A" since he just logged in. And so on. Daily Login - Users will get 20 points for login in daily.

The other being the parking situation - Review of The Farmers Hotel - TripAdvisor “We ate here in the restaurant on our first night...” “Hotel also provide wifi for £3 a night which was...” “Check in was okay, but room i bit tatty but...” “It's is an excellent location to longleat...” The other being the parking situation - Review of The Farmers Hotel “Base for longleat” Base for longleat We were very surprised on entering the hotel. It was very quaint. The staff were very nice and helpful. We were shown to our room and it was very nice for the price we paid. Breakfast for the 2 days we stayed was very nice and filling. The problems we had was that the family room must of been above the bar as we experienced a lot of noise till late on, as my granddaughter is only 8 it was difficult for her to sleep. The other being the parking situation. There is none. We were told to park in a certain place only to end up arguing with other guests over it. Room Tip: Room 16 must be above the bar as it was very noisy. As we had the family room it very hard for a sma... Ask Karan B about The Farmers Hotel My partner and I was looking for a cheapish trip to take our 3 children to longleat for 2 days.We had 2 rooms a family and a double. All the hotels/ b&bs were very expensive and then he found this. Wasn't sure what to expect but I can say we will be going back here for our next stay. We were welcomed on the day by friendly, happy staff and the room was clean and bright with tea and coffee and a TV in the room. The bed was very comfy! In the morning we all went down for breakfast and they had quite a big choice. All the staff made us feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble for them. I have recommended this hotel to our friends and will look forward to going there again. The hotel is only a few mins drive form longleat. There are a few shops to browse and a morrisons for petrol and food so makes it an ideal location. If you have children there is a great park a short walk down the road with a paddling pool and a boating lake. Room Tip: I had a back room and a side room and all of our family had no problems sleeping. Ask miss e about The Farmers Hotel For price payed this hotel is excellent value. I stayed over a six week period whilst working in Westbury and found the standard never dropped once over that period. Ask Les F about The Farmers Hotel Stopped off here unexpectedly following a fun packed day at nearby Longleat. The menu was varied and included several pasta dishes and many main courses that ranged from Fillet of Beef Stroganoff (£21) to ham, egg and chips (£9). I chose the tarragon chicken, which was accompanied by a huge amount of potatoes and veg on top of an already generous portion. It was very tasty and, if I may say so, an excellent choice! Other members of the party had the mixed grill, king prawn chili tagliatelle and pasta bolognaise... all of which were delicious. We were delighted to have stumbled across such a gem of a restaurant, and were surprised that it was more busy on a Saturday night. Highly recommended :-) Ask sammipee about The Farmers Hotel not for you if you have mobility problems. Our stay was booked for us by a relative,so wasnt researched. We found, no lift, ,bedrooms over two floors, we were at the far end of the hotel,our room was small ,overlooking the rear of the hotel no view from the window. Paint work was jaded, the bedspread was clean but had what looked like an a small oil mark that had not washed out . As we were attending a wedding we needed a good hanging space to hang our wedding outfits, there was no full size wardrobe only a chest high open cupboard,we had to hang our clothes from the curtain rail, This is a family run hotel and has the stables over the road which can be booked for a function. Breakfast was well cooked and cooked to order, Ask Denise D about The Farmers Hotel I cannot begin to wonder where the people that wrote the bad reviews stayed. We (10 adults, 1 toddler and 1 baby) booked the Farmers Hotel for two nights bed and breakfast to attend a family wedding. We booked in, no problems, we were shown to our rooms, no problems. Yes the floors and some of the stairs were a little uneven but the building is over 400 years old, what would you expect? Overall the building was in good repair The staff were more than willing to help in any way possible, the breakfasts were all freshly prepared to order and individual choice, not to mention well cooked and presented. Facilities for the two children were available and brought to us as and when they were needed. The rooms were clean tidy and well appointed, some may say they were a little on the small side but that's how they built them 400 years ago.

Twilight 's Muse: Rainy Monday When it is my turn to go to the Bridge, my Mommie will not be there for me yet. So, I would like to look for your Grandmother. I think she would be a good caretaker for me. ps: Thanks for thinking of Pixie. Her little heart is getting a little bit tired from working so hard. Daisy, My Grandmother would snuggle with you and Pixie all the time. She''d flip over kitties as cute as you! :) That was a very touching post. If there were more people like your Grandmother and you in the world, less of us cats would be out on the streets. I sure hope there are tens of millions of your Grandma at the bridge helping to take care of us kitties. This is so beautiful~!!!I am looking forward someday I will play with your grandmother as well. Oh such a heartwarming post today. I can hardly wait to be with my Grandmother or Oma as we say in German. Opa too, we would sit under the cherry tree and watch the day flow by. Not much conversation was needed when we feel so comfortable with each other. Oma would bring the 3:00 coffee and the world would stop for a bit as we gathered and had this much longed for break. Still today, not a day goes by that I do not stop at 3:00 and serve coffee for me and Dennis. Any clock that has stopped working I set to 3:00 in memory of this special time we spent together.Gosh I don't know why I am feeling so melancholy these days....I really miss my mother too. getting older is rather hard at times. So I better grab Miss Peach and make her purrr for me before I go off to bed now.You are always in my fondest thoughts dear friend....Love Karla Mommie has dreams of Caesar. She still misses him very much.Today we are getting the rain and dreariness. I hope that the weather is clear and sunny for you today.It is very hard to go on without our sweetest kitties.(((hughughugs))) and purrs Yes, yesterday was a good snugglin' day. And a good day for scented candles and remembrances...Sending you big HUGS my dear friend!Hope you aren't going to get the 5" of snow tonight like we're supposed to get in Michigan!Bright blessings,mo I am sure that Tookie has lots of friends at the bridge....I am sure our Taffy is her friend too.I like the moonflower....very pretty.It snowed here last night! I post pictures, but not sure which blog yet. It hardly ever snows in TX!Have a great day!--JB

Life on the Other Side: Go Go Batmobile... Go Go Batmobile... I sink lower in my seat trying not to be seen by the passing people or cars. “Go go bat mobile smoke screen”. Aaron yells as we take off in a cloud of billowing black smoke. The car behind us sits for a second or so in stunned immobility as our lovely diesel van leaves no visibility for the next 100 yards or so. The traffic policeman in the intersection rotates to watch us pass his mouth open, a look of astonishment on his face. “You know we are the reason Russia cannot pass its clean air act”, Aaron continues to crack jokes. I slide lower in my seat. “Oh man, look at that guy.” A poor smoker frantically roles up his window as we pull even, our smoke catching up with us as the wind blows it foreword and rolls it into the crowd crossing the street in front of us. “Dear God” I pray, “please perform a miracle on our poor car and heal it of this disease”. Pedestrians cover their noses with scarves or sleeves as they pass and stare at me, sitting in what should be the driver’s seat because our car is a right sided steering model from Japan. ‘This must be God’s answer to keep us humble’, I think as I turn to fiddle with something, anything. “Let’s take public transport next time” I suggest helpfully. Aaron nods his head abstractedly, glancing in the rear view mirror. “Well no one will rear end us in this vehicle” he comments “they have to stay so far back just to be able to see the road.” I peer back through our smoke cloud and see the cars trailing far behind, an almost unseen event in Russia. Suddenly the humor of the situation hits us and we start laughing. Our car, the thorn in our flesh, has spent more times in the shop than out, giving us one trial after the other. Bills continue to mount as we and our mechanic try one thing after the other to find the problem and fix it. To date we have probably spent over half of what we bought it for in trying to repair it. It currently sits on a road on the way to Aaron’s work where it broke down once again. Our desire is to get it in running condition and then sell it to someone who loves to fix cars for a very low price, just to get it off our hands. But we can’t even get it running, so it sits, deserted, lonely, cold, and we continue to pack up the two kids, with all our stuff and go by public transport to various destinations. Every time I think about it, my heart aches for Aaron because he has to deal with the situations that arise. But God is faithful, His ways are not our own. He can even use a car to teach us.I have started back at work at the International Clinic and Hospital MEDEM. I spoke with the Director and he has agreed to start a fund for needy people instead of paying a salary to me. I decided that whatever money I might make at this job would be used to bless and benefit others in need. He was so shocked by my suggestion of starting this fund that he asked if others could donate to it. Smiling, I quickly agreed. My hope is to find individuals who cannot pay for an operation, or medical treatment, and use the clinic to treat them, paying their way using money from the fund. As MEDEM is one of the best clinics/hospitals in the city I want to see it used to bless and serve those who are less fortunate than others. I start a medical terminology class next week with a group of 11 doctors and nurses. That is all I can allow in the class at this time as it is difficult to teach a larger group. There are over 300 staff working at MEDEM with 150 of them being medical, all in sore need of English language training. Another nurse from the States is joining me in teaching these classes (also a missionary). Please pray for us as we work in this secular field that God can use us to touch and minister to the lives of many. We had a lovely New Year’s party with the YWAM staff. I found the last turkey in our local grocery store, almost had to fight off another shopper for it, and we had roast turkey and stuffing for dinner that night. Several of the Russian staff had never eaten turkey in their life, so it was a culinary experience for them. I made fudge and the rest brought Russian salads. We ate from 8 in the evening until close to midnight, a very Russian tradition, and then everyone (except for us and the base leaders) went out walking until morning. Fireworks from the neighborhood parties stopped around 4 am when Aaron and I went to bed. It’s amazing the kinds of fireworks you can buy here. Some of them should only be lit by professionals, but you have groups of drunk men lighting these massive four feet rockets from the streets below our balcony. I’m surprised more people aren’t seriously injured by the amount of explosive material being lit on New Years morn. Our windows were rattling from the blasts as one group after another made their way out onto the street to set off their noisemakers and rockets.

NOTES FROM AN OBSESSIVE / COMPULSIVE BUTTERFLY: Morph Plinth PV Never mind all that Frieze nonsense, the Morph Plinth PV was the place to be last night. The artwork was specially crated and transported by train to London Fields, where it was unveiled to a small but very select audience. Modesty prevents me from saying it was an appreciative audience, but I didn't get thrown out - and that's always a good sign. Morph Plinth, with my Untitled (big tick) artwork could well be making some very exciting appearances over the next few days. I promise to pass on any news as soon as I can. I met some great people. Thanks, chaps - it was a pleasure. Pictures here, here, and er, here. NatalieOctober 13, 2011 at 1:15 AMA big tick and a gold star Phil - I love it. What is the tick embedded into? The crate is gorgeous too. :-)ReplyDeletePhil IllingworthOctober 13, 2011 at 1:32 AMThank you Natalie, glad you like it :) The tick is set in liquid skin on a PVC cube. The crate caused a few laughs and will 'tour' with the plinth, I think :DReplyDeleteAdd commentLoad more...

Now a confession.. I felt awful for not letting Naisha having a go at this one. This was so her scene. She would have enjoyed it any day more than the painting..I know. How she loves the arclights! Sad that she has a mama who's a bad case of stage fright. I actually considered the possibility but I dismissed it telling myself 'no conveyance'. I should have gone for Naisha.. I could have done it with her and maybe gotten over my fear too and learnt to have fun. But I let it go... And so another resolution... I'll not let an opportunity like this one go by next time round.

Balintore Castle Restoration Project: October 2014 Castles Home and Away: Part Seven This is the seventh and last blog entry describing the seven places of interest visited on a West Highland road trip earlier in the year. The last place of interest visited was Ardnamuchan Point. As Andrew and I were leaving Mingary Castle for home, we saw the brown sign saying Ardnamuchan Point was only 5 miles away. We had come this far, so on a total whim we decided to go for it. Ardnamuchan Point, beloved of the Radio 4 "Shipping Forecast", is the most westerly point in Britain - in short legendary! Common sense would seem to suggest Land's End in Cornwall is the most westerly party of the British mainland, but in fact it is 20 miles further to the east. the very bleak and very westerly Ardnamuchan Point Ardnamuchan is bleak and while not inaccessible, the road is sufficient tricky, that getting there seemed to take an age. Not for the first time Andrew and I asked ourselves "What are we doing here?". In fact a lot of the driving in the Western Highlands was similar. While the distances were not huge, the slow running on the roads make all trips seems like an odyssey. The roads went up and down and wound side to side. I recall passing one "Blind Summit" sign. This normally means just taking extra care. However, this summit was so blind that once at the top neither of us could see the road dropping down beneath us. And much like a high-octane roller-coaster ride, we both screamed involuntarily and in synchrony. Ardnamuchan Point has a lighthouse (1849) and a foghorn, and while a lighthouse is not a castle, there are similarities. Castles and lighthouses both have towers; both are built solidly; both are often built in stunning locations; and both are often interesting architecturally. Ardnamuchan is no exception and the building style is Egyptian Revival, and indeed the material is granite, of which the Ancient Egyptians themselves were rather fond. Egyptian Revival lighthouse buildings The engineering infrastructure for the foghorn is amazing. Diesel engines drive air-pumps. The pressurised air is collected in large metal tanks. These tanks are connected by a pipe to a small building right on the coast, which contains extra gubbins, before feeding through to the massive red foghorn itself. Andrew was in his vintage engineering element, and even I have to admit that the set-up was a steampunk's dream. lighthouse and foghorn Andrew provides scale for the foghorn (timing?) gubbins inside foghorn building gubbins inside foghorn building warning on foghorn building door room with air pumps Arriving at and leaving from Ardnamurchan Point was slowed down considerably by the lengthy last section of road which is single track with no passing places. Andrew and I had to wait at the traffic lights at both ends for a considerable time. While waiting to leave, I took this image because I rather liked the serpentining road ahead leading homewards. leaving Ardnamurchin: traffic lights and serpentining road Looking back, the mini road trip had many of the hallmarks of insanity, but I am so pleased to have done it. Thanks to Andrew for driving and indulging the insanity. I returned re-invigorated and re-motivated for Balintore's restoration. the 36 m lighthouse tower Castles Home and Away: Part Six The main target of this year's mini road trip was Castle Stalker. It is only open on a few days of the year and had to be booked in advance. The secondary target was Mingary Castle. I had never expected to visit Mingary as it is so remote. However, it is only a little bit further into the wilderness than Castle Stalker, so it made total sense to visit it on the same trip. Mingary Castle is currently undergoing an impressive restoration which is the main reason I wanted to visit. There are warnings on the excellent blog that there is no access to the public, so I wrote a number of times to the author of the blog to ask how I would set about getting permission. There was no reply, so the fairly long drive to Mingary could well have turned out to be a wild goose chase. My friend Andrew did the driving, and I don't know how many times I apologised to him in advance about the possible failure of the mission. Things did not bode well as the road to the castle was labelled with a sign "no vehicles and no access to castle". Some lateral thinking was required. I suggested that as the castle was on the coast, all we needed to do was somehow get to the coast and follow it round. We passed the castle and drove into the tiny village of Kilchoan. This had a small tourist office/community centre. I asked about access to the castle at the tourist office, I was told categorically there was none. The community centre had leaflets on the castle, and a perspex collection box raising funds for the restoration. The contents of the box were not inconsiderable, perhaps I should take a hint from this? :-) Andrew and I left the car in the community centre car park. We walked to the harbour, where a ferry was disembarking. I strode off along the beach to the left, the direction we had come from. Surely at some stage I must encounter a castle? Andrew lagged behind, and seemed far less keen to jump over rock pools and climb along cliffs, where there was no beach or where vegetation made going along the flat impossible. I asked Andrew if he was OK but he is very stoic; said nothing; and kept going at his own pace. I found out afterwards his shoes did not have a proper grip. We were scrambling over wet rock surfaces. Mind you, my trainers seemed no better than his! :-) Andrew hesitantly navigating rock pools - Kilchoan ferry in background After an absolute age we finally chanced on the castle. I had considered inwardly giving up a number of times. The castle is absolutely wreathed in scaffolding. In the flesh this is quite astounding, and I had never quite got the scale of the engineering undertaking from the photos on the blog. Mingarry Castle: approaching the building I had wanted to talk to someone at the castle about the work going on, but this would involve revealing ourselves as trespassers. I figured we should have a look around first before we got caught. There were at least 10 workmen, and on the principle of "diffusion of responsibility" I figured they would do nothing when (inevitably) we would be spotted. Often people at the coal face are far less "precious" about permission or lack of it, as that is a bureaucratic creation. Andrew and I had a good scramble around. The rock the castle is situated on is the very definition of vertiginous. Half of the beach below the castle is a massive single slab of hard rock: more or less flat but on a considerable incline. An amazing natural phenomenon. This is ideal for boat access to the castle, but to walk across it was absolutely treacherous: the surface was covered in generic wet beach slime and seaweed! We tried to find safe paths across it where there was a little washed-up sand. Mingary Castle: up close and personal Andrew standing by scaffolding for scale We then boldly climbed up to the work yard. There was a fence around it but we skirted round this to the main entrance and made our way to the site foreman's portakabin. There we met Mr. Thompson of the restoration contractor Ashley Thompson Ltd. He was extraordinarily generous is giving Andrew and myself his time, and telling us about the restoration. One of the major problems is remoteness. The workmen have to live on site in caravans and are away from their family and friends for months at a time with NO personal internet access! Mr. Thompson indicated there was just one place on the building site with some Internet access. The Ardnamurchan Estate who are behind the restoration supply the oak from their forests for the timber construction, and will eventually supply the firewood for the newly built detached boiler house which will heat the castle. Oh to be able to supply my own wood at Balintore! :-) This generates 90% of the material sourcing issues. a hive of activity - note on-site caravans for accommodation Ashley Thompson Ltd were behind the most well known "Grand Designs" restoration projection, which was the peel tower/castle in Yorkshire. Most people I speak to have this down as their favourite. It's mine too! Mr. Thompson talked about being 6 months behind schedule at Mingarry due to the weather: the site is incredibly exposed and there are many times where any work is impossible. I mentioned that Balintore Castle was an unspecified number of years behind schedule: the important thing being just to carry on. :-) I asked Mr. Thompson who writes the Mingary blog, as it is incredibly well-written and updated as regular as clockwork once a week, Mr. Thompson revealed it is written by an author and journalist who lives nearby. I can only hope, given the erratic scheduling and erratic English of my blog, that the author gets paid so I can excuse my shortcomings as those of an amateur! All in all, I think Mingary is my favourite restoration project. It is a shame that Andrew and I could not wangle internal access, but it is a busy building site so you could tell there was no way just by looking at the situation. I recall pathetically asking if I could help with the pointing as a way of getting on-site. This is an ongoing and mind-numbingly time-consuming task. main entrance of castle It is incredibly rare for permission to be given to restore such an old and historically significant structure. I only wish it happened more often. The work being done at the castle has saved the building - the vast rock underneath was splitting and had to be pinned: a major engineering challenge in itself. I cannot imagine how much money has been spent - if only Balintore had the same budget. The work being done at present is of the highest quality, with many workmen on site full-time pushing the building forward. Since Andrew and I visited a roof has been put on the castle: a magnificent building is now emerging from the magnificent ruins. impressive scaffolding round less accessible side of castle Posted by David at 04:30 3 comments: Fireplace Archaeology II ! Following on from my previous blog entry, I finally started scraping away at the layers of paint on the reclaimed fireplace I had bought on eBay. The aim was to find out its history. The fact that sections of an expensive red marble lay under a layer of black paint was puzzling and indicated that it had a more flamboyant and more expensive past. :-) Anyhow I chose two flat sections of the fireplace to start scraping. One was on the left hand jamb, and the other was in the corresponding position on the right-hand jamb. Removing an initial square centimetre of black paint from each, showed both had the same red marble underneath. I couldn't resist completing the sections. At least if revealing all the marble proved too much work, working on these two smaller sections would result in a symmetric end result. The section on the left jamb revealed the expected and attractive speckled marble pattern. section of expensive marble revealed on left-hand jamb The section on the right jamb revealed a much plainer patch of an orange/red colour. I did not expect this. Perhaps there were variations in the marble's patterning? The odd thing was that two layers of paint seemed to have come off this jamb. The black layer on top, and then a browny layer underneath. In fact, the brown layer had half stayed on and half come off, so I scraped away vigorously at the remaining brown areas, but all the colour seemed to disappear and I ended up with the grey of .... slate! Was the expensive marble just a paint effect - surely not - it was so hard, glossy and authentic looking. something not quite right is revealed in same area on right-hand jamb The only solution was to start scraping at a hidden surface, where I could do no damage, at an area that was unambiguously the expensive marble. To my shock a top "pock-marked" purple layer came off, and then an underlying bright red layer came off, before I finally came to the slate. revealed - marble is actually a sophisticated multi-layered paint effect! This was nothing less than an incredibly sophisticated, multi-layer and convincing marble effect. A red coat was applied, then the piece was dipped, I would suggest, in a purple oil-based paint laced with water droplets - in a similar manner to marbling paper. The resulting effect was a myriad of red splodges showing through, just like a naturally occurring mineral. I have seen sections of various painted marbles in the V&A from Victorian times and they are utterly convincing. In fact there was even a society of marble painters. And this paint effect marble on my own fireplace had me totally fooled until I did the scraping. This begs the question of what do I do now to the fireplace? I am quite tempted to leave these red sections to show the history. Should I try to reveal any more? The grey painted marble roundel in the cross piece is so obviously wrong that I will definitely return this to the original black, so the gold painted carvings will show up advantageously. Apart from this and just restoring a deep black where required, I may just leave alone. However, the mystery of its past has been solved. Much of the fireplace had been originally painted in a vivid red faux marble that would have contrasted marvellously with the black slate and gold-inlaid carvings. It would have been simply stunning, and if only I had the ability to do this paint effect again. These Victorian skills, I fear, are now largely lost to us. However, tastes change and a later generation must have considered the bold Victorian effect vulgar, and the whole thing was toned down, but with considerably less art and much less skill. The red marble was painted over because, one presumes, it was known to be "just" a paint effect. There is much Philistinism, where the destruction of art and beauty masquerades as improvement. Posted by David at 16:21 2 comments: Fireplace Archaeology! fireplace arrives home - note cats-cradle strapping! Every so often, I check though eBay for replacement architectural antiques for Balintore Castle. The wise advice I was given, early on, was to collect slowly and cheaply, for surely if you want a grand Victorian fireplace in a hurry it's going to cost you an arm and a leg. There is a huge difference in price between a polished-up antique marble fireplace in a high-end dealer's showroom, and one that is a little worse for wear, and that someone wants rid of quickly during building works to their home. In short don't pass up any opportunity, it may not occur later. Anyhow, a fireplace turned up on eBay recently. The pictures showed that although the bits of the fireplace were covered in pigeon poo, there was something intriguing about it. The seller was unable to say whether the fireplace was slate or marble. The scale of the fireplace (it is a bit of a beast) suggested it should be marble. Slate fireplaces are for the less well-off, so are generally smaller. The principle goes that if someone could afford a large fireplace, then they could afford marble. However, the grey marble panels looked painted on because the marbling pattern was a little "soft". There was a limit to what I could discern from the low-res photos, but for £100 it was worth a punt. :-) The original fireplaces at Balintore were marble rather than slate, but the design of this fireplace was something special that I had not seen before, so on the principle of going for quality items I felt that it was immaterial whether slate or marble. After winning the item, I turned up with my pick-up at the village of Great Alne. The seller Steve was really friendly and explained the fireplace was found lying in his old mill building. The previous owner of the mill had never gone through with his plan to restore the building, but had left architectural antiques lying around. Steve and a friend kindly loaded the fireplace onto my pick-up and wouldn't let me help. I had explained previously that I am recovering from back surgery and shouldn't lift more than 5 lbs! Steve's family plied me with two cups of tea and three Kit-Kats while this was going on. Having been through nightmares with some individuals on eBay, it makes encountering genuinely lovely people a real pleasure. I had a brief examination of the mantle shelf with Steve, and concluded that it was slate rather than marble. There was a shiny black coating that was coming off in parts, revealing a matt grey finish underneath. The wall side of the mantle shelf was also a slate grey colour. There would be no coating on a marble fireplace - just polish! Steve handed me one piece that had come detached from the fireplace - the "cushion support" a flat piece that goes on top of the leg, directly under the mantle shelf. Suddenly I was in shock, a surface that would have been hidden revealed a beautiful bright red marble. The bright colours of marble are the most expensive and most posh "rouge marble" is actually just a shade of brown. Yet, this was an unmistakable and vivid red. The pattern even suggested porphyry: a stone even more expensive than marble beloved by the ancient Romans. What was going on? Was the red marble simply an off-cut being used: carved and then painted black by the stonemason? Or perhaps the fireplace once looked totally different with a red, black and gold colour scheme: a colour combination that makes total sense? Sometime in its life perhaps it had been "dulled-down" to fit in with a drab room or someone with drab taste? The rather poor painted grey marbling could support this hypothesis. hidden surfaces reveal expensive marble underneath further evidence of expensive red marble Anyhow, the mystery has not been solved yet. I will do some test-scrapings on the fireplace to reveal what is underneath. If I do find symmetrically placed slabs of red marble on the left and right jambs, then I will be enormously temped to reveal these. In any case it will be a delight to either restore the shiny black finish to the fireplace, or to reveal its former high-class true colours. So far I have just done my best to remove the ground-on pigeon poo as shown in the photographs below. left jamb before cleaning left jamb after cleaning right jamb before cleaning right jamb after cleaning mantle and cross-piece before cleaning mantle and cross-piece after cleaning just before unloading - only a panorama could fit everything in!

Lies and Consequences | HuffPost 04/16/2008 11:51 am ET Updated May 25, 2011 Memo to: PA democrats From: a NY democrat Re: lies and consequences There is a well-known judicial principle called "standing," by which anyone seeking to pursue a legal action must demonstrate his or her right -- or standing -- to do so. First things first, then -- let me demonstrate my standing to say what I have to say to you: I voted twice for Senator Clinton and twice for President Clinton. In the spirit of full disclosure, I should also say that I fall into that category of American which the Clinton campaign refers to as elitist. Presumably, that makes me condescending as well. So with my bona fides and my shortcomings now established, I can proceed. My comments are directed particularly to those Democrats who do not reside in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, or any of the other areas where Senator Obama is presumed to have great strength. It's all you other democrats I'm speaking to -- the ones, as Senator Clinton has educated us, who naturally would be suspicious of a condescending creep like me. Is it hopelessly naive of me to say that the phrase "bum rap" comes to mind, and is now deeply entrenched there? Not merely that I have been bum-rapped, but -- much more important -- you have too. I'm not sure whether I write more in sadness or anger; either way my conviction is the same: you Pennsylvanians are now being showered with the coins of the Clinton campaign that have been raining down on all of us for more than a year. They are: hypocrisy, cynicism, deceit, a willingness -- in fact, a passion - to sow division and mistrust between fellow democrats, and an implacable, unquenchable appetite to win at any cost, with a disregard -- a casual disregard! -- for truthfulness and common decency. I suppose that jeremiad does betray anger. Yes, I'm angry. I'm furious. Rage -- not blind rage, but rage of the clear-eyed and unblinking variety -- is not too strong a description of what I'm feeling. But sadness is part of the emotional calculus too -- a profound sadness that such things must be said. You might ask why you should take notice of what I have to say. It's a fair question. My response is not to offer you one more analysis of the "bitterness, guns, and religion" fandango. Even though I'm a condescending elitist from New York, my guess is that you may feel as I do: one more mention of it and you'll scream. Instead, I'd like to point out some things that Pennsylvanians -- whose primary comes late in the process, and whose inclination, like most other Americans, is to live their own lives without obsessing about politics -- might not have considered when the action was in Iowa and New Hampshire, a century or two ago. I'm referring to a phrase that is much in political vogue these days: the narrative, or meta-narrative, of a candidate and campaign. In the case of Senator Clinton, there have been multiple narratives, each of which she offered until circumstances deemed it no longer operative. Each defunct narrative was replaced by another, until circumstances changed yet again, and so on until the present moment. Unlike most of you, I apparently have not succeeded in getting a life, and so I have followed these mutations with something resembling... well... obsession. That's my problem, not yours, but I want to share what little fruit the exercise has produced. And so: Narrative Number One, in which the operative word was "inevitability." The strategy, openly conceded by the Clinton campaign, was to present the senator's candidacy as a foregone conclusion, a fait accompli. After all, who else was there with the capabilities and intellectual rigor so evident in Mrs. Clinton? Biden? Dodd? Edwards? Richardson? Someone named Obama? "Please folks," the message went, " let's get real. There's nothing to discuss." The Clinton team had every right to pursue this strategy, but it seemed like we were being offered a coronation, rather than a campaign. And it felt a little bit -- what's the word I'm searching for here? -- condescending. I sensed a touch of noblesse oblige: "I'm certainly not suggesting we forego the selection process, people, but it's merely a formality." A mere formality, that is, until the shock of the Iowa caucuses. And so: Narrative Number Two, in which the operative word was "experience." Immediately, the scope of the experience was quantified: Senator Clinton had fully thirty-five years of experience! This meant her experience commenced on the day she left law school. For reasons I'll never understand, this was seldom commented upon, nor was it clear why the other candidates could not date their respective experiences from the day they left academia. Actually, they could have, but it never occurred to one of them to do so. And so it went for a while, until Senator Obama began piling up one victory after another, which gave us: Narrative Number Three, in which "experience" remained the operative word, but which was now invested with subtexts we had not heard before. The message went like this: "Barack Obama is a gifted politician, a brilliant orator, a man steeped in skills and attributes that will -- one day -- make him a great president." One day, but not this day. Why? "Because we face perils of such magnitude, and enemies of such cunning, that we cannot afford to risk putting the reins of government in such inexperienced hands. It is a luxury, fellow democrats, we cannot afford." This approach, fellow democrats, triggered in me a shock of recognition that never fades. Though the subject matter was far different, the technique being employed was identical to what we have all lived through for seven years. That message was -- is -- : "Civil liberties and the rule of law are the shining jewels of American life. But because we face perils of such magnitude, and enemies of such cunning, we cannot afford the luxury of civil liberties and the rule of law. Someday, perhaps, but not this day." Not for a moment am I drawing a direct comparison between the Clinton campaign and the Bush administration. Rather, I am suggesting that they both employed the same dreadful technique: they both played the fear card. What had been, until then, a campaign of condescension and artfully-phrased half-truths -- misdemeanors in today's political climate -- became a cascade of political felonies: outright deceit, hypocrisy, and cynicism. All of which brought us to the condition we are in now: Narrative Number Four, in which operative words have been replaced entirely by innuendo, unencumbered by any sense of truth or falsehood, right or wrong. Do you, Senator Clinton, think Barack Obama is a Muslim? Well, Mrs. Clinton replies, I have no reason to think he is, and I take him at his word. Did you, Senator Clinton, really duck sniper fire in Bosnia? Well, Mrs. Clinton replies, I "mis-spoke." (No mention that she mis-spoke at least three times.) Do you, Senator Clinton, really think that Senator Obama is an elitist? Well, Mrs. Clinton replies, it's really all about perceptions -- Al Gore and John Kerry were both good men, but they were perceived as elitists. And on it goes, invoking the spirit of Karl Rove and Lee Atwater. The Pennsylvania primary is a week away. As the old cliché goes, that's a lifetime in politics. Lifetime or not, it's plenty of time to take a breath and examine what has really been happening all along. And while you Pennsylvanians do that, I'd like to ask Senator Clinton a question posed many years ago to another U.S. senator: Finally, madam, have you no sense of decency?

Do illegal immigrants have a right to free health care? | Akanyang Africa Do illegal immigrants have a right to free health care? July 11, 2011 July 11, 2011 / Akanyang Africa Editor-in-Chief I’m not much of a traveler myself but I think it is very crucial for most people travelling oversea or to any country for that matter to consider whether or not to renew their temporary permit residence in that country to a citizenship. This follows a recent ruling in Canada by The Federal Court of Appeal that illegal immigrants have no right to free medical intervention or ongoing health care under the country’s Charter of Rights. The ruling is said to be going to protect Canada from “medical tourism” whereby people coming to the country “expressly to get medical treatment paid for by the government”. The ruling comes after Nell Toussaint – a Grenada citizen who came to Canada in 1999 as a visitor and whose permit expired six months after her arrival yet she continued to remain in that country illegally – had her application to have the state pay for her medical costs rejected. According to National Post report, Toussaint in 2006 developed kidney problems and received free medical care. And when more than that was needed, that’s when she wanted the state of Canada to be liable for her medical costs. It was only 9 years later after her visitor’s permit to Canada had expired and therefore having lived illegally in that country that in 2008 she applied for a temporary residence permit that would make her eligible for the Ontario Health Insurance Plan. Unfortunately, her application was not processed. At the same time, her health continued to deteriorate. The following year, 2009, Toussaint then applied to Citizenship and Immigration Canada for medical coverage under the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP) which apparently offers emergency medical care for indigent people legally living in Canada. But for the fact that she had her citizenship application rejected and therefore was and had been living in that country as an illegal immigrant for almost, if not over, nine years – her application for IFHP was also declined. Toussaint, with the assistance of refugee support organizations and the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, appealed to the courts: seeking to have both her application fees to remain inCanadawaived and to gain access to health coverage under the Charter of Rights which grants the right to life and security of the person. But the outcome was good and bad. It was good in that she won an appeal on the application fees because the Federal Court ordered the Canadian government to reconsider its refusal. But it was bad in that the same Federal Court of Appeal did not agree with her position on the health care: that the state should pay for her medical costs [as an illegal immigrant]. In an “unanimous decision” as noted by National Post report – it was ruled that: “The program could not have been intended to pay the medical expenses of those who arrive as visitors but remain illegally in Canada and who, after the better part of a decade of living illegally in Canada, suddenly choose to try to regularize their immigration status”. The court found that “by her own conduct … [Toussaint] has endangered her life and health” by entering Canada as a “visitor” and continued to remain in the country “for many years, illegally”. “Had she acted legally and obtained legal immigration status in Canada, she would have been entitled to coverage,” the Federal Court of Appeal found against Toussaint. This, for many, was “hailed as a significant and sensible one”. Sergio Karas, a Toronto-based immigration lawyer and analyst, told National Post that: “This case is extremely important because it limits the potential claims that other classes of people in Canada may make for medical coverage, such as visitors or those without any status and under the radar, of which the number is currently unknown but estimated in the hundreds of thousands”. Iris Fischer – a lawyer who argued for the Canadian Civil Liberties Association on Ms. Toussaint’s behalf – told National Post that the organisation was “disappointed that the Federal Court of Appeal did not recognize that a denial of health care to Ms. Toussaint in these life threatening circumstances violates her right to life and to equality.” And it appears Fischer was trying to justify Toussaint’s failure to apply for Canadian citizenship at the time when she was still healthy and when the circumstances allowed her to. And that, I’m afraid, is not how things are supposed to work. I mean, it is the responsibility of any person – when circumstances allow and given the chance – to make sure that when the need arises they consider applying for permanent citizenship in any country and should never have to wait until such time when their health conditions would not allow them to that they all of a sudden want to make efforts to apply when they have previously not shown any interest in doing so. It is further not clear why during the nine years that Toussaint has stayed illegally in Canada – and knowing very well that her temporary permit expired six months after she arrived in that country – that she failed to either renew her temporary permit or applied for permanent citizens if she saw the need to. And it may well be for this failure that Toussaint’s claim for medical expense to be said by the state was rejected because she has failed to prove to the court why she could not do any of the two: renew her temporary permit or apply for permanent Canadian citizenship. Illegal Zimbabweans in South Africa With many Zimbabweans living illegally in the country and with their period having expired to apply for citizenship or asylum seeker status – it is not clear if the government would take full responsibility for their medical costs. Zimbabwean nationals were given until the end of last year, December 31, to apply for permits to live in the country or risk being deported. On the closing day about 250 000 applications had been received by the South African Home Affairs Department. By end of this month all Zimbabwean nationals without the required documents or those having failed to register by deadline will be deported back to Zimbabwe, according to Media Global web site, after the four-month push that took place last year to document as many Zimbabweans as possible before any changes started. Braam Hanekom, the head of Cape Town-based refugee advocacy People Against Suffering, Oppression and Poverty (PASSOP), told Media Global that while the South African government’s move was progressive, the impending changes, however, leave himself and other human rights activists alarmed. Media Global is an independent media organization designed to create awareness in the global media of the suffering of the world’s poorest countries in Africa andAsiaon issues of economic development, global health, food security and the impact of climate change on developing countries. Hanekom said “we are concerned that in August the government might not be planning or intending on mass deportations, but they will have the authority and it will be lawful to do so should they wish to”. Media Global reported that the new legislation to be implemented next year could compound the problems for immigrants. Hanekom told Media Global that the new legislation which sought to speed up the decision making process on asylum applications could result in the vast majority of about 400,000 applicants being denied refugee status. The legislation apparently requires Zimbabweans enteringSouth Africa to apply for documentation at Home Affairs office within five days of entering the country and not the current 14 days failing which offenders could face jail sentences. There are an estimated 1.5 million Zimbabweans living in South Africaand Hanekom believes about 800,000 were undocumented prior to last year’s documentation push in which 275,000 Zimbabweans applied for work permits. “Furthermore, nearly 70,000 Zimbabweans have not picked up their work permits because they unable to acquire passports from the Zimbabwean consulates”, reported Media Global last month. It quoted Hanekom as saying about 70 percent of the dispensation process applications had been approved. Many Zimbabweans fled due to violent crackdowns on supporters of opposition party Movement for Democratic Change (MDC). Hanekom was afraid that if a large numbers of Zimbabweans were to be deported this would “add huge pressure to the already tense political situation that exists there”. He said that large numbers of Zimbabweans working illegally, vulnerable to exploitation by employers, and a possible increase in crime as people fight to survive, could all adversely affect the relationship between South Africans and the Zimbabwean population. “If people are now going to be deemed illegal immigrants and if attention is going to be brought toward them, that would be very comparable to what happened in 2008 prior to the outbreak of xenophobic violence that South Africais infamous for,” said Hanekom. “South Africais at a pivotal point where they’re really beginning to determine what their immigration policy actually is… But if the department decides to harshly implement the laws then there would be very, very large numbers of people being deported.” Zimbabwe “not safe” for its UK based citizens In October last year media reports indicated that UK Border Agency (UKBA) intended to deport all Zimbabwean asylum seekers in that country because it felt it was “safe for failed asylum seekers to return home” despite thousands of them [Zimbabwean asylum seekers in UK] “not happy with the decision and are in a state of worry”. The claim that Zimbabweans are not safe for asylum seekers in both South Africa and the UKto return home was supported by co-Home Affairs Minister, Theresa Makone when she urged Britain that Zimbabwe was still unsafe for those who remained critical of its President, Robert Mugabe. Makone said she even “personally advised my daughter who is resident inBritain not to come home now because the situation is critical”. She said “despite being a minister myself, I have gone into hiding, running away from the very police who report to me. If I am forced to hide away, then what about my daughter?” Makone told her daughter who was inBritainat the time to “stay put in Britain because the situation has deteriorated a lot”. She said she was “engaged in secret talks with British authorities over the recent ruling by the British Home office that theUK should remove failed Zimbabwean asylum. This is because I know Zimbabweans are unsafe back home. As of now I cannot give you details of my talks withUK authorities on the issue, but I wish to tell you that there is something like that going on right now”. With Zimbabweans – unlike Toussaint – at least many South African citizens know the situation in that country although that would still not serve as a reason for their failure to apply for citizenship until of course it is due to corruption and in the country’s Home Affairs as was suspected. Be that as it may – I believe that Zimbabweans, whether or not as illegal occupants inSouth Africa, can still go to the nearest health center for medical attention. Unless that has changed, which I doubt it has… Canada, Canadian Civil Liberties Association, Canadian nationality law, Department of Citizenship and Immigration Canada, Federal Court of Appeal, Government of Canada, National Post, Ontario Health Insurance Plan ← One Judge with 3 judging positions in 3 different countries – only in Africa My ONLY two problems with a labour strike → One thought on “Do illegal immigrants have a right to free health care?” I think what Canada has done taking the right of free health care from illegal immergrents and why should Canadian people pick up the tab from illegal immergrents whom have no legal right to be in Canada and human right commissions are non realisc commission now because they clearly think it’s ok somebody whom firstly has no regard or respect for the country they are illegally entering and then expect to have benefits and free health care on illegally entering too no I don’t think they should have no help at all. Also Zi have the same opinion relating too UK illegal immergrent issues here too and we lay them out the red carpet when here we need too stop all help we give such people and do what Canada does stop giving any medical help too because why should tax payees pay for such people? Because they have no legal right to be here plus there needs too be a quicker deportation system than taking a year too 2 yrs too deport somebody if they haven’t run away as absconders everytime as most do there needs to be urgent urgent changes in UK europe and rest of the world as illegal immergent are having a great time taking advantage of weathy countries and it’s time we join hands and we all say no more!

Up to 33 people complained of breathing difficulties at St Mary's Catholic School in Windhill, Bishop's Stortford, at about 11:15 GMT. Ambulance crews took two adults to hospital with "minor conditions" and treated others at the scene. It is understood a child was taken to hospital by a parent but was later discharged and returned to school. In a statement on the school's website, headteacher Anthony Sharpe said: "In lesson one this morning there was a chemical incident due to a substance being heated for longer than was prescribed. "As a result of this, precautionary measures are being taken by the school to make sure that staff and students involved are safe and well. "We do not want to cause any alarm but wanted to reassure you that the necessary health and safety procedures have been instigated and we will be in contact with you should there be any further development." Mr Sharpe told the BBC the incident happened in a science lesson involving a class of 15 and 16-year-olds and that one child and two adults had been taken to hospital. A spokeswoman for the East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust said resources, including the hazardous area response team, had been sent to the scene after people had complained of "bronchial inflammation due to suspected chemical inhalation". It said seven further patients had "minor complaints".

MIGHTY m@u Monster Robot: June 2011 The last video game I worked on (Cars 2) is out and doing rather well in the reviews. We just had a screening for Cars 2 I took the family to. Its a really fun spy, speed racer-y kinda movie. I liked it quite allot better than the first Cars film. Last night I dreamed of Transformers... but they where Cars... and then this cartoon happened. *My pal, fellow Avalanche employee, super artist, story overlord and all around swell guy Bryan Lefler has made a fantastic independent film named UNICORN CITY!!! Aaand he was kind enough to ask me to do some promotional art for T-Shirts and Posters and stuff. Which I was only too happy to do. Bryan asked for the same layout as my Oz-some piece I posted a while back. It was a fun challenge.My idea was to draw the characters as maybe they see them self's. Or maybe if there was a Saturday morning cartoon of Unicorn City it would look like this... I wish there was. (^_^)You can find out more information and watch the wicked rad trailer over at the Unicorn City website. namicon,

Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to efficient matting agents based on precipitated silicas, their preparation, and their use in inks and paints. [0003] 2. Description of the Background [0004] Precipitated silicas have been used for a long time as matting agents in paints. The matting properties of these compounds derive from a disperse reflection of light at the paint surface roughened by silica particles. The efficiency of matting agents is therefore determined by the reflection value at different observation angles (generally 60� and 85�) and also the initial mass required for sufficient matting. The surfaces thus treated ought to have a matt, satin gloss, but without any rough effect. The roughness of a surface can be determined, for example, by way of the average roughness value Ra and the depth of roughness Rz. The requirements imposed on matting agents, the necessary measurement methods, and also general information can be found, for example, in Degussa AG's pigment brochure series, No. 21 (2002). [0005] The matting of a paint surface is naturally also dependent on the amount of matting agent used. Since precipitated silicas in addition to their matting effect also cause an increase in the viscosity of the paint, there are limits to the extent to which it is possible to increase the silica fraction in a paint. [0006] The object was therefore to find silicas which at the same mass fraction as the known silicas possess an improved matting effect. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0007] Surprisingly it has been found that silicas which possess a high DBP absorption constitute very efficient matting agents. [0008] The present invention accordingly provides precipitated silicas characterized by BET 350-550 m2/g DBP number 320-400 g/100 g d50 5-15 μm, and tamped density 20-90 g/l. [0009] As well as the untreated hydrophilic silicas, the use of wax-coated silicas as matting agents is also known. A wax treatment of this kind markedly improves the sedimentation behavior of the precipitated silicas. [0010] The present invention therefore further provides wax-coated precipitated silicas characterized by BET 350-550 m2/g DBP number 320-400 g/100 g d50 5-15 μm tamped density 20-90 g/l carbon content 2-18% by weight. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [0011] The present invention provides precipitated silicas, having use as matting agents, which silicas are characterized by BET 350-550 m2/g DBP number 320-400 g/100 g d50 5‥15 μm, and tamped density 20-90 g/l. [0012] The present invention also provides such hydrophilic silicas which have been wax-coated, for use as matting agents, characterized by BET 350-550 m2/g DBP number 320-400 g/100 g d50 5-15 μm tamped density 20-90 g/l carbon content 2-18% by weight. [0013] The precipitated silicas of the invention preferably have DBP numbers of from 350 to 380 g/100 g, a d50 value of from 7 to 11 μm, or from 8 to 12 μm, preferably from 8 to 9.5 μm, and a tamped density of from 50 to 80 g/l, preferably from 60 to 70 g/l. [0014] The tamped density is determined in accordance with ISO 787-11 directly after the grinding of the silica. The DBP absorption is determined in accordance with DIN 53601, again directly after grinding. (DBP number is a measure of porosity.) The same applies to the measurement of the BET surface area in accordance with ISO 5794-1 Annex D. [0015] The d10, d50 and d90 values are determined by laser diffraction on a Coulter LS-230. (dx is a value that characterizes the particle distribution, wherein “x” represents a percentage of the measured particles, based on volume, that are smaller than this volume. Thus, d10 means that 10% of the measured particles, based on volume, are smaller than this volume. Similarly for d50 and d90.) [0016] For a uniform matting effect the particle size distribution should be as narrow as possible. The particle size distribution can be determined in a simple way by means, for example, of measurements of the d10, d50, and d90 values. Inventively untreated or wax-coated precipitated silicas therefore have a particle size distribution (span), defined by way of the ratio (d90−d10):d50, of from 0.90 to 1.5, preferably from 1.0 to 1.2. [0017] A quantitative determination of the degree of matting of paint film surfaces is frequently determined by measuring the reflection values at different gloss angles. Those found appropriate in practice have been measurements at a gloss angle of 60� and 85�, carried out along the lines of DIN 67530, ISO 2813 or TM 523-78 in accordance with the procedure set out below for determining the gloss value on a standard baked top coat. Untreated or wax-coated precipitated silicas of the invention preferably have gloss values at an angle of 60� of from 15 to 25 and at an angle of 85� of from 30 to 70. The difference between the 85� reflectometer value and the 60� reflectometer value is also referred to as sheen, and allows a statement to be made about the matting effect of the surface at different observation angles. A relatively low sheen means that a surface appears matt when viewed at any angle. [0018] As compared with commercial matting agents, the silica of the invention has a particularly low gloss value at all observation angles. This means that in order to achieve a certain matting effect less material is needed than in the case of conventional matting agents or for a given amount an improved effect is achieved. [0019] Preparation of untreated precipitated silicas of the invention can be carried out in accordance with, for example, DE 10 058 616, which discloses precipitated silicas which in the dry, unground state have a DBP adsorption of from 380 to 420 g/100 g. These silicas are prepared by [0020] a) over the course of at least 100 minutes adding water and sulfuric acid simultaneously to maintain a pH of 6-7 to an initial charge of water which is heated at from 35 to 45� C. and is under stirring and shearing, the addition being interrupted for 60-120 minutes, and when addition is at an end setting a solids concentration of 36-42 g/l, [0021] b) isolating the solid by filtration and washing the filter cake to completion, and [0022] c) subjecting the solid to accelerated drying. [0023] A precipitated silica of this type is preferably subjected to accelerated drying by liquefying the filter cake to a solids content of less than 18% by weight and then spray-drying this suspension. It is also possible to dry the filter cake by means of a spin-flash dryer followed where appropriate by setting of the pH at from 7 to 8 by means of ammonia gas. The precipitated silica obtained in this way can either be ground directly or be first subjected to coating with wax. [0024] The wax coating of the silica of the invention can be carried out, for example, according to EP 1 182 233. In that case precipitated silicas are coated, for example, with polyethylene waxes, Fischer-Tropsch waxes or silicone-based waxes by heat-treating the silicas with the wax at a temperature below the melting range and below the decomposition temperature of the wax in air. It is possible to coat the silica with the wax at the same time as its grinding; in any case, coating with from 2 to 15% by weight, preferably from 5 to 10% by weight, of wax has proven appropriate. The precipitated silicas of the invention ought to have a carbon content of from 2 to 18% by weight, preferably from 3 to 10% by weight, and more preferably a carbon content of from 3 to 6% by weight. [0025] To grind the precipitated silicas of the invention it is possible to use standard commercial mills such as, for example, an impact classifier mill (such as 50 ZPS from Hosokawa-Alpine). [0026] Besides the abovementioned wax coating or impregnation of silica, other methods are known for this purpose and can be consulted in, for example, DE 1 006 100, DE 15 92 865 or EP 0 922 691. Here, wax suspensions are reacted with a silica suspension, where appropriate with the mediation of a dispersant. The wax-impregnated or wax-coated silica thus obtained must subsequently be dried and, where appropriate, reclassified. [0027] The untreated or wax-impregnated precipitated silicas of the invention can be used as matting agents in inks or paints. [0028] Having generally described this invention, a further understanding can be obtained by reference to certain specific examples which are provided herein for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to be limiting unless otherwise specified. EXAMPLES [0029] A precipitated silica was prepared in accordance with DE 10 058 616, Examples 1 to 6, and had the following physicochemical data: pH 2.6, DBP 389 g/100 g, tamped density 154 g/l, and BET surface area 454 m2/g, [0030] and was ground to different particle sizes on a 50 ZPS mill. The reference used was Acematt HK 450 (commercially available from Degussa AG), which is a silica used as a matting agent. This untreated matting agent with high matting efficiency is particularly suitable for systems with low level of gloss and sheen, e.g., coil coatings. [0031] The differences in the gloss at 60� and 85� C. from HK 450 indicate a markedly improved matting effect for an identical amount employed.

[0032] The paint investigations described were carried out in the standard black test paint Duplex D1326 Schwarzlack from Herberts, Austria. [0033] General Procedure for Determining the Gloss Values [0034] Preparation of the Matt Paint 100 g of DUPLEX D 1326 paint (formulation number L 87992, DuPont, Herberts Austria GmbH) are weighed out into a 350 ml polyethylene beaker and 20 g of diluent V 0003 (DuPont, Herberts Austria GmbH) are weighed in. The required amount of matting agent is then weighed out to an accuracy of 10 mg and carefully incorporated into the diluted test paint using a spatula. Thereafter the composition is dispersed at 2000 rpm for 10 minutes using a � 43 mm paddle stirrer, the PE beaker being covered in order to prevent evaporation losses. After the matting agent has been incorporated the matted paint is left to stand in the closed beaker for 30 minutes for deaeration. It should be ensured that the standard (HK 450) is dispersed at around the same time as the samples under investigation (maximum time difference: 3 hours). [0035] Testing and Processing of the Matt Paint [0036] Following deaeration, the paint is applied using a motorized drawing device (Erichsen Coatmaster 509 MC) using a four-edged coating bar with a slot height of 120 μm at a speed of 25 mm/s to cleaned glass plates measuring 130�90�3 mm. For each dispersed sample, 2 glass plates are to be coated. In each baking operation, these specimen plates are to be examined against 2 plates of the standard. The maximum occupancy of an oven tray is 10 sample plates+2 standards. [0037] The applied paint is flashed off under the following specified conditions: temperature: 20� C. to 25� C. relative humidity: 40% to 60% flashoff time: 10 min to 20 min [0038] The paint is subsequently baked in a forced-air drying cabinet at 150� C. for 20 minutes. [0039] The reflectometer values are measured on the BYK Haze Gloss after the glass plates have cooled (about 30 minutes). The reflectometer value is formed from the average of the duplicate determination. [0040] Where the duplicate determination produces differences>2 gloss points, the duplicate determination must be repeated against the standard using a sample which must be dispersed anew.

Sharpton being rebuked by the NAACP | Mech-Infantry God Sharpton being rebuked by the NAACP Turner Clayton, the Seminole County chapter president of the NAACP, reacted immediately to Sharpton’s warning, saying, “We hope that the citizens of Sanford will govern themselves accordingly. We are not calling for any sanctions, against any business or anyone else. And, of course, what Rev. Sharpton does, that’s strictly the [National] Action Network. We can’t condone that part of the conversation, if that’s what he said.” Read the full article here. Once again Sharpton is stirring up racial trouble in a time when we should be preaching peace. A tragedy occurred, a young man lost his life, yes he was a juvenile delinquent, but that is no reason he should have lost his life. I am not saying George Zimmerman committed a crime, that is for a court of law to say. And that is the exact opposite of what people like Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Bobby Rush, and even Nancy Pelosi want. They all want George Zimmerman convicted without due process. That seems to be what the Dems want, they have been going against the constitution so long its normal policy for them. What we need right now is for a court to try this case and not the media. We need the trouble makers and fear mongers to stay out of it and allow our legal system to work.

"Hi can I use you're telephone?" I asked and the man lazying around on his recliner turned to me and nodded without a word. Where was I? I seem to always get lost. I was in a gas station but much more like a car repair shop. I turned toward the dial. Okay. So it was 224-998-7373, that was the number of my mother who could probably find me and pick me up from this car repair shop/ gas station. I started dialing. http://general-finance.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/2008924.jpg 224. 998. 7371. Hmm.. nobody is picking up, maybe I dialed the wrong number. 224. 998. No. It's 7373! Let's try that again. 7375. Wait no, its 7373!! Okay redial. 224. 7370. NO ITS 7373!!!!!!!!!! AGH. 224-998-737.... There I wake up with the frustration of never knowing if I put in the last number right. Probably the most frustrating dream to deal with. I've tried to look into why this occurs but I couldn't get much of anything except that the fact that I cannot reach the person because I feel some distance between them. So, I guess that could be one possibility. But there really wasn't an answer anywhere about this so my own self interpretation would be: I'm crazy because I'm the only person who has these dreams, whomever I'm trying to reach is avoiding me, I subconsciously or maybe consciously don't really want to talk to this person, or, maybe I just have a terrible memory when it comes to dialing other people's phone numbers when I'm lost at a gas station. Or maybe all of these are correct. Who knows. I'll just try to remember to bring a phone book when the time comes. http://blog.brickhousesecurity.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/wrong-number-300x224.jpg Whenever I'm not dreaming or during flu season, sleeping, completely unconscious due to some sketchy, probably expired, cough syrup medication, I have these dreaded moments of insomnia. During these times I am usually sitting in bed staring at the ceiling at the scratches of paint, or the word gullible I etched on when I was seven and sometimes just the blank, white surface. After counting up a billion sheep I turn over to the side and watch the numbers on my clock roll. http://www.toonpool.com/user/2296/files/without_sleep_or_insomnia_305485.jpg Then there are those crazy people who turn to me saying I should just take some sleeping pills and go on my merry way but i don't think it's smart to follow crazy people. So, I decided to research this annoying but yet phenomenal irritation that is insomnia. Insomnia is in fact very common and some of the reasons for it are easily preventable. It's not a disease, so for those who have it, don't worry but a habit that can be changed. Chronic insomnia should be taken care of and checked by a doctor of some sort. (a sleeping doctor?) to help with some of the symptoms that are causing the lack of sleep. But most of the time, insomnia is caused by stress or anxiety, physical health and the Starbucks frappuccino you had an hour before you went to bed. Personally the stress of school would be the cause of my insomnia and maybe the Starbucks but a simple switch in what you do before you fall asleep such as relaxing verses studying before sleeping or saving the coffee for the morning can cure the hours long wait of trying to fall asleep. http://usftherapist.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/insomnia-cartoon-chruch-com.gif It was nighttime, the sky was pitch black and I was alone in the city. I had become lost and wandering for hours since I had no contact with anyone. Unexpectedly, a man was standing in front of me twirling his knife around his fingers just a couple yards away, and I of course I couldn’t fight him off after my tired muscles had been working all day. I began to run, but something pulled me back.At that moment a girl walked up to me, she started to talk but I was deaf to her voice focusing on the stranger in front of me while walking backwards. When my mind slipped off the monster ahead of me, I heard her yell, “RUN!” I ran for my life, around the corner of the block, to an old school building still standing though it had been abandoned for years. I pulled the girl into the building noticing a white light still on in a classroom. There were people there. There were ten children sitting in a circle clapping and playing childish hand games. I dashed into the classroom, locking the door shut, pulling down the blinds and turning off the lights I whispered to the teacher to quiet down her children. She nodded at me and that's when I noticed she didn't have a face. It was a blank head that stared at me, no eyes or mouth. The kids all turned around with the same blank pale faces pointing toward me. The man outside the classroom shouted and screamed. He slammed on the door handle with whatever he had been holding and broke the lock. He ran into the room and brought his knife to my neck - I flipped my eyes open to see the darkness that my pillow had fallen on the ground due to my wild tossing, and the alarm clock blinked 2:00 a.m. I knew that it was all a dream though my nerves prevented me to going back to sleep. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-E80EZ1eVYE0/TjhSMRCRQ0I/AAAAAAAABhQ/uuaYTz9Xvf4/s1600/Nightmares.jpg I think I had my first nightmare when I was seven years old. That being I may have had one when I was younger but I'm not very aware of really anything before the age of six. My first nightmare didn't have to do with anybody chasing after me, or anyone threatening my life, but it happened when my sister was devoured by a car. Yes, a car. But then again, I was six, so you have to understand that my creativity at that point only ranged from so far. The dream I just shared with you today was a dream I had when I was in seventh grade, and I know when I have these dreams because, nightmares stick to you. It's a moment of sudden shock where you're sweating and shaking in your bed and you're clinging to your blankets because you don't want to fall asleep back into that same dream. Or if you're like me, and you know who you are, you crawl into your older sister's bed because you know she'd protect you if anything happened. Well that is the intent, at least. Nightmares are dreams where your subconscious is telling you that basically you need to take care of something. It is usually the cause of a real life trauma or situation. This sounds familiar to the reason that we have those pest dreams that I wrote about earlier. However, this time in stead of it being an annoyance, usually a nightmare symbolizes you trying to escape a fear. Sure insects are fears but they are more nuisances, nightmares and homicidal mass murderers chasing you primarily, well should, fall under the category as fear. I spent the other day lounging around reading next to my cat who was sleeping peacefully on my lap. In a sudden second she flinched violently and woke up looking at me. Nightmare? I really have don't know what it was, but hey it can happen to anyone! http://icanhascheezburger.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/funny-pictures-kitten-had-a-nightmare.jpg Now, my sister is off to college, so I've only got one solution. Face it myself. I don't get many nightmares anymore, maybe that's a sign of confidence which I doubt. A wonderful site explained how to escape nightmares besides lucidly dreaming, which is where you control your own dreams, but to confront the monster. I'm not sure how well this would work but maybe. However if you're like me, and don't have the nerve to turn to a horrific serial killer and saying "hey can you stop?", then just hope you'll wake up soon. Besides, maybe all that exhilaration is good for your cardiovascular system or something. http://isviral.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Sleep-With-A-Teddy-Bear.jpg

'That's my career gone,' says PC accused of killing mother on his untaxed motorbike | Daily Mail Online Updated: 06:47 EST, 9 July 2008 'His concern was immediately about his own career. He was heard to say "I'm doomed, that's my career gone. I'm a police officer". 'His driving fell far below that of a careful and competent driver.' Myerscough badly broke his leg in the crash and appeared in court in a wheelchair. The court was told Mrs Oldham, of Edgeworth Avenue, Ainsworth, worked in the IT department of Bury council. The jury heard that in the moments leading up to the accident Myerscough was seen 'throwing the bike from side to side' to warm the tyres and increase its grip on the road. The area is built up and the road is narrow, marked with white chevrons on red tarmac. Mr Nuttall said: 'These markings are called road calming measures and of course should be well known, not just to members of the public but to police officers.' The jury was told that Myerscough was behind a row of four cars when he 'dropped a gear and accelerated hard to overtake all the cars'. The bike collided with the third car as it turned right. Mr Nuttall said: 'The bike flew over the car and crashed on to the back of the unfortunate Lyndsay Oldham.' No comments are permitted on this story for legal reasons

Hi everybody, this is John Assaraf and thanks for joining us for another weekly, expert interview where we bring you great ideas for making more money so you can live that extraordinary life. I have a friend of mine on the call today and you are going to absolutely love this. He has one of the hottest new books that I am telling everybody about and well talk about it in just a second. Joe Dispenza is just an absolute gem of a human being. Hes a top expert on the human brain. Hes someone who Ive studied through my own research. I was introduced to his work through the phenomenal, multiaward winning movie, What the Bleep Do We Know. For years Ive been taking our clients and students to see the movie and talk to them about it. Everything he talks about is right on the money. This is going to be an outstanding call. His new book is called Evolve Your Brain: The Science of Changing Your Mind. Its something you all know Ive studied for years. Its something we talk about and Joe understands inside and out. In the book he teaches why people tend to repeat the same negative behaviors, how to break the cycle and how to open yourself up to the new possibilities that exist within and all around you. And, as always, for contributing to the purpose of living an extraordinary life and for making a Virtual Coaching with Joe Dispenza Interviewed By John Assaraf Recorded March 12, 2007 difference on this planet, Joe, welcome to OneCoach. JD: JA: Its a pleasure to be with you, John. Joe, lets get right into the book. Youve done some great work in What the Bleep. I know that must have launched your career. And you have a phenomenal understanding of biology, neurophysiology, brain research, etc. What inspired you to write this particular book? JD: I think it was a combination of several different things, John. Just like you, Ive been involved in understanding human potential from the time I started asking the question, Is there more to life? I began investigating every alternative idea that was important to me. I looked into hypnosis. I studied martial arts and yoga. My life was about alternative means of thinking and alternative means of health and looking at reality. In 1986 I had a serious accident. I was hit by a truck in a triathlon. It caused me to stop going at a very fast pace, to begin to ask some deeper questions and to see if some of those principles actually worked. Long story short, I was confined to bed for (supposedly) three to six months. They wanted to do radical surgery. Inside of eight weeks I was back in my office seeing patients. Two weeks later, no body cast, no surgery, no paralysis. If I was able to overcome this condition (I had broken six bones in my spine), then I would spend the rest of my life investigating the concept of mind over matter. Thats exactly what I did. JA: It seems we have a similar story. I was in a car accident and I ended up, not because of the car accident, but I ended up with ulcerative colitis and through some research was able to heal myself of that. I decided what a powerful tool we have in our brain, and realized we know nothing about it. JD: I think science is now beginning to scratch the surface. Im sure that any neuroscientist or anybody investigating the brain will say, The sum of the parts is greater than the whole. We dont have any definite answers, but what we do have now is functional brain scans. And functional brain scans give us the opportunity to study the concept called mind. Mind is the brain in action, the brain at work. That little clue has given us volumes of information about a healthy brain and an unhealthy brain. I know you talk about emotions and we are addicted to our emotions. We consistently want to do the same things over and over again. How much potential do we have, as humans, to be able to stop the negative emotions or stop the emotions that are not serving us, and really help ourselves by doing things differently with the brain? I want to be careful obviously because Im interviewing you. Some of the answers I know. But I want to hear it from your vantage point. JD: First, lets define emotion. Emotion comes from the Greek word emoverae, which means to set into motion. Emotions can be considered literally as something that sets the mind into motion. But I like to think of it as something different. I think emotions are always the end products of experience. When we experience anything in our reality whether were seeing, smelling, tasting, feeling, hearing all of our five senses are immersed in the experience. Volumes of information are being sent back to the brain through five different pathways causing neurons to string together and release chemicals. Those chemicals that are released during that experience mark the experience as memorable. So the end product, the finality of an experience is called an emotion. We can remember experiences better because we remember how they feel. If we understand that, then the question is, How many new experiences have we had, number one. And if were experiencing the same exact emotion everyday, what does it tell us? And, of course, if were experiencing the same emotion everyday, it means that nothing new is happening. If were experiencing a repeated chemical state, it means that were remembering past experiences to help us remember who we are. If we believe that the quantum field has anything to do with our future, if we believe that thoughts have anything to do with creating reality, if were living the same feelings and emotions, it means were just creating more of the same. So most people think thats normal and, in fact, given a scoop of humanity it really looks normal. But, in the quantum field, there are so many experiences yet to have. And those new experiences, in my reasoning, would create new emotions and those new emotions would have nothing to do with those survival states that we live by every single day. Its not a bad thing to have it. The problem is after theres a stimulus, after theres something that elicits an emotion. The problem is if were repeating the same emotions theres this period after the emotion called the refractory period. Some people have a reaction and that refractory period lasts hours, days, weeks, months, years. And the same chemicals that are being released in the brain over and over again, pushes the buttons, pulls the trigger that activates the genetics that begin to cause the person to live out their genetic destiny. Were just beginning to understand, in neuroscience, that we can shorten that refractory period. When we shorten that refractory period to any emotion, whether its anger, frustration, or suffering, then every other refractory period for every other emotion is shortened. So, during that refractory period, no new information can enter into the system. You cant learn anything new. You cant do anything differently. As a matter of fact, youll do the same exact thing and expect a different result. JA: JD: Thats insanity, right? Thats insanity. When we develop the ability to gain control over those emotional states by recognizing what they are and rehearsing new ways of being, we not only shorten those periods, but there are even individuals that have been tested with functional brain scans that can actually stop the reaction. This says that we have innumerable potential to no longer be enslaved to the habitual state that most people live in. Westerners think emotions are normal because they feel so real. They are really transient chemical reactions that we continuously live by. The problem is if we continuously create the same emotions, the rush of chemistry gives the body a boost to make us feel a little bit more alive, a little bit more super aware. The problem is it wears off and then you have to do it again. But you do it a little bit greater with a little bit more emotion. Next thing you know youre in a repetitive cycle. JA: JD: It sounds like an addiction. You know my definition of addiction has always been, and Ive thought a lot about it, something you cant stop. If youre in the midst of an angry experience, suffering, confusion, or any of those survivalist emotions and someone said to you, Why dont you just stop, most Westerners would give you every reason why theyre feeling the way they feel. Something from their external world made them feel that way. JA: Ive got a client right now who is so stuck on his story that he just cant see it. He doesnt want to break free from the story thats repeating itself over and over and over again. Yes. And every time we tell the story, were creating almost the same exact amplitude of chemistry as if it was actually happening. Thats the key. Thats what emotions do. We can remember those experiences better because we remember the emotions that are tied to them. JA: Interesting. Can the brain, based on the latest research, stop that? Can we do something that will give us the ability to change our reality? The idea is that if we just look at this particular topic, the question has to arise, Do our thoughts control our emotions? Or do our emotions control our thoughts? Theres an inverse law in the brain. Ive studied this at length. Theres a part of the brain called the limbic brain or the anellian brain; thats the emotional brain. Thats the chemical brain. On functional brain scans, the more emotional the person is, the more they are swamped in their own emotional chemistry. The more activity there is in that part of the brain, the less activity there is in the frontal lobe. Frontal lobe is our seat of self. Its where we have attention, intention, firm purpose, and a sense of identity, a sense of awareness. The more action and execution over their impulses, the more they have control over themselves and their life. If theres less activity in the frontal lobe, then you tend to see more impulsive, emotional behavior. If theres more activity in the frontal lobe, you have a person who is less emotional, less impulsive and more able to reason answers and solutions beyond what they already know. Science used to say, 25 years ago, that the brain was hard-wired, meaning you were born with a certain amount of circuits and youre going to turn out like your parents and thats the end of the story. But what science is beginning to understand is that there are definitely plastic, moldable portions of the brain that we can upscale the hardware to. The way we change the brain, the way we upscale the hardware is by learning new things and having new experiences. Thats what causes the brain to reorganize itself into new patterns and new combinations, new sequences that then create new levels of mind. The problem is when we get to our mid-thirties, the personality (the identity) is sealed off. We spend more time feeling than we do learning. As a matter of fact, feeling becomes the means of thinking; if we spend more time feeling and we cant think outside our feelings (we talk about that refractory period), then its impossible for new information to enter into the system. As a result, its impossible to learn new things. Were just left with the circuits that weve been given genetically. Then the second half of our life we start heading for the destiny that our parents had. Thats the story of most people. When we learn it and we apply what we learn, when we personalize what we learn, we demonstrate what weve learned. For example, someone takes your course or youre a consultant for somebody; you can give them all the philosophy, all the understanding, because youve already experienced what youre teaching them. They take that knowledge and they never apply it. Its just good dinner conversation. Its philosophy. But when they take your concepts and principles and begin to apply them, theyre setting themselves up for a new experience. Theyre breaking their habitual ways of doing things. Theyre reviewing it in their mind and creating a plan of how theyre going to execute exactly what you taught them. That plan, that rehearsal, that process of thinking of how theyre going to do it already begins to reorganize circuits in their brain. It may take a little practice. Its like tennis, golf or anything else. But therell come moments of increased awareness and increased attention where youll begin to produce different and modified experience. And that experience will no longer keep the person in the same story, no longer keep them in their same emotional state. Theyll embrace a new set of emotions and those new emotions have nothing to do with survival; they tend to be joy, excitement, enthusiasm, all those that I call the natural state of being. That then allows them to create new memories. But its not enough to do it once. Mastery is to be able to repeat that experience over and over again. Thats what I investigated and created in my book called Thinking, Doing and Being. We changed the memory systems in the brain when we get to that point of being it. Now its hard-wired. Now its second nature. Now its easy. Now it takes no effort at all. Now its familiar. And that state of being means that we had the experience enough times that weve trained the body to know as well as the brain and the body will actually do it while the brain can think of other things. Thats why when you cant remember a phone number, you can pick up the receiver, look down at the keypad, and let your hands do the dialing because your conscious mind cant remember. Your subconscious mind was pretty much trained; your body was trained by the mind. Its not enough to just learn information. Sure well upscale the brains hardware, but until we integrate it into the body, until we have mind and body working together, then well always have opposition. Well never reach our goals because when the frontal lobe is really working, thats the seed of our divinity. Thats the place where we work from. When the front lobe is working properly, thats when thought and action are aligned. Thats when intent and behavior are working together. When thats lined up and youve got body and mind working together, pretty much the human being is invincible. JA: When I was in my early twenties and I started getting some training in business and sales I remember Tommy Hopkins said, You got to fake it til you make it. Just fake it in your mind. Therell come a time where it will just become a reality. I dont think anybody at that time, 27 years ago, understood what we were actually doing. But now with brain scan imaging we can now see whats happening, how we are changing the wiring of the brain. Is that what youre saying? JD: I think fake it til you make it is a good beginning explanation. I like to use the words mental rehearsal. Those are the words I use in my book and in my lectures. It means a little bit more of a formal plan. Its remembering a new way of being. If we can rehearse it in our minds and think about how were going to do it and execute it and review the knowledge and put ourselves in the experience, therell come a moment of where were truly intentional and truly focused where the brain doesnt know the difference between whats happening in its external world and whats happening in the mind. Thats the moment that new circuits are up-scaled and formulated. Thats a stage to which to execute that knowledge and the person who rehearses will do it easier, will make it look more natural, will make it look like its less effort because he/she already has the circuitry in place. Fake it til you make it was a good slogan in the 70s and 80s. And it has some value. But I think that people get hung up on that because it has an overused connotation. If we see that we can mentally rehearse something, plan our actions and remember those, then youre more than likely going to walk into that experience because the brain is already prepared for the experience ahead of time. Thats the name of the game. JA: When you talk about mental rehearsal are you talking about visualization? I dont like to use visualization because again that word has been over utilized. A lot of people start to visualize and the next thing they know they get off on tangents, theyre swimming with dolphins and theyre doing different things than their original intention. Mental rehearsal involves intent. It involves placing yourself in the experiences; concepting yourself in the experience; remembering what you would do in the midst of that experience. Theres been enough tests to know that when people do that, when they remember, plan, apply what theyve learned, repeat it and they mentally rehearse physically doing it that they grow the same amount of brain circuits as the people physically doing the action. This means they change their brain by thinking. Rehearsal usually involves a little more vigilance. It involves a little more intention. I like that word better than visualization because some people dont visually process information the same way in the brain as other people. That hangs people up because they say they cant see it. If you say rehearse, it loosens it up a little bit and they can throw themselves into it a little easier. That gives them the paradigm thats a little more acceptable. They can recruit all their senses to be able to formulate a scenario. JA: Theres plenty of this in your book. By the way, Joes book Evolve Your Brain is not a book youre going to read in one day. This is a book I want each one of you to get. I want you to make it a part of your library. I want you to study it and go back and review it. Its 60 days since the book has been out. Its the best book on the market, bar none. Joe knows his stuff. Its been well researched. Its one of the books I use for my own research. If Im using it, chances are its one of the best ones out there. Thanks, John. No, Joe, I told you when you wrote the book, you sent me a couple chapters ahead of time, youre right on the money. We might as well go to the best there is. Lets talk about why change is so hard. I know you talk about the implicit memory system and the explicit memory system. Can we talk about that for a moment? I want people to get a handle on how change is possible and some things they need to do. But why is it so hard? JD: Lets make it simple. I wont use the concept of implicit and explicit. Lets talk about a couple of chemicals in the brain. The chemical in the brain that makes us feel good is called dopamine. The biggest reason people dont want to change is because change is uncomfortable. It means you have to break the neurochemical habit of being yourself. You can declare, I want to do this. I want to be this. I want to have this. I want to make $1M. You can consciously declare that and yet your attitude keeps remembering a different story in your example. That story produces a certain amount of chemicals which entrains the body to believe something else. So now all of a sudden you say, I want to be wealthy. I want to be successful. I want to be powerful. I want to make a $1M or $10M. However, the memories and the thoughts that youve been processing on an unconscious level have trained the body, the subconscious element of the body, to actually believe something different. So you start off intentional. You start off clear. You start off declaring it. Then in a matter of days youre on the couch eating bonbons with your remote control and you dont even know how you got there. Thats because the body is running a different program than the mind. Now, brain circuits work in combinations, sequences and patterns. If we keep processing the same exact thoughts everyday, JD: JA: thinking about the same things, the same people, the same events, remembering past information, those brain circuits will strengthen. At the same time they become hard-wired and also release the same chemistry because its the same stream of consciousness. If we do that enough times we formulate a box of our own thinking. Now its not a literal box in the brain; its the most commonly fired, most accurately wired sequenced combinations of circuits that we process that we use to identify. Its our autobiographical self. Now to think outside the box is to force the brain to work in different sequences, different patterns and different combinations. That takes will and effort. It takes interrupting the programs that weve lived by that have become so convenient. Weve hard-wired enough automatic programs that allow us, by the time were 35 or whatever to begin to formulate this. Childrens brains are so neuroplastic that they can be sad one minute, the next moment be a bunny rabbit, and the next moment be an astronaut and forget that they were ever sad or crying two minutes before. Thats because their brain is that plastic. Adults have an incident and then they relate with that feeling because they think that feelings are real. So when a person makes a concrete decision that theyre going to change and the moment they begin to change, they have to think differently, act differently, behave differently, and they have to create a new state of being. That interrupts the normal neurochemical cycle. The brain stops making the same chemicals. The cells of the body, which have been pretty much conditioned to those thinking processes, start sending information back up to the brain through the spinal chord right back up to the neural net start saying, Youre no longer producing the same chemistry weve been conditioned to experience. All of a sudden you start hearing these voices in your head: youre not good enough, you can start tomorrow, this doesnt feel right, its too uncomfortable, lets go get a beer, lets forget about it The body has become the mind; to change is to put the mind back on the throne, which is in the brain. To do that, it means that we have to train the body to be its servant. Most of the time people will start off for a period of time and within days theyll go back to their bodily needs and sensations. Then the dream or idea disappears because they go back to the same habits of thinking. JA: So it goes back to their addictive emotions. Really what theyve done, we can use the word addicted, but theyve conditioned themselves into a state of being. Theyve conditioned themselves into feeling unworthy, feeling sad, feeling less than, feeling like a failure. Then, all of a sudden, they make an attempt to be something different. However, as they start having this model in their mind, they never give it enough attention. They dont cultivate it. They dont develop it. They dont become familiar with it. It takes that process of rehearsal to begin to interrupt the programs of habitual thinking. That habitual thinking when we begin to force the brain to fire in new patterns and combinations and break that habitual thinking, thats difficult. In the beginning your brain wants to rush to what it has been used to doing. It wants to rush to the hard-wired programs. However, if we persist we know from neuroscience that nerve cells that no longer fire together no longer wire together. Those circuits begin to break down and they start to reorganize themselves and thats called change. It takes more effort because most of the time Westerners believe that it should be our external world that causes us to think. And if we allow the external world to cause us to think, then well never think greater than our reality. To be great, to be an individual, to be a maverick is to think greater than your environment. Thats my definition of evolution. My definition of evolution is to think and be greater than the conditions in your environment; greater than your circumstances. When you do that, now the brain is already mapped for the experience ahead of time. That means were going to walk right into it. JA: I study this stuff just about everyday, Joe. Every time I speak with you it just blows my mind just how much deeper and deeper you go into it and you come up with new analogies and new ways. So I know youre evolving your own brain on a daily basis, as well. Thats all I want to do. You and I share the same passion that theres so much were capable of as human beings. Were scratching the surface of our understanding of how powerful we really are and how spectacular this beautiful, little, blue planet, this universe of ours is. Whenever I speak with you I have a big smile on my face, my friend. Mental rehearsal, obviously its one of the core elements of change and to get that frontal lobe working, the CEO of our life, to get that working properly is where we want to be from what Im hearing and from what Ive read. Mental rehearsal, how can people start to apply some of that? JD: You have to stop and ask yourself some important questions. This is inconvenient, by the way. I want you to know that it takes time and energy. It means not turning on the television or going to the computer. It means sitting down and start to say, Whats my problem? You have to define who you are. You have to define the state youre in. You have to ask, Who am I? What are my repetitive thoughts? If thoughts have anything to do with my future, and I keep getting the same future, I have to start examining my thoughts. I have to start examining my thinking, my attitude. You have to start asking those important questions, to construct the questions that will lead you out of this quagmire. The questions have to be, What would it be like? How do they think? What would I have to change about myself to be a success? What areas do I still have problems? I need to be honest. Where am I limited? How do I change it? When you start to ask these questions, the frontal lobe is like a symphony leader. It begins to quiet certain centers in the brain and it begins to gather all the knowledge and experiences that youve had stored in your brain. It begins to reorganize those circuits to create a new picture. Youre forcing your brain and your mind to begin to organize, construct, develop a new model of being. The moment you ask yourself the question, What would it be like to be happy? What would it be like to be successful? Youre foregoing your normal way of thinking and youre speculating possibilities. Thats what the frontal lobe loves to do. It loves to speculate opportunities. It will begin to cool off the circuits you normally use and begin to reorganize your past knowledge and experience to formulate a new way of being. Now if you ask those questions every single day and you begin to rehearse yourself as this new person, thinking about what it would be like, thinking about what you have to change, thinking about where you fall from grace, thinking about what limits your genius, thinking about where youre not telling the truth in your life. What things are stopping you. You begin to organize that type of thinking. Thats rehearsal. If you did it every single day, it would begin to organize those patterns and sequences together, mend or formulate new neural networks in your brain that would then make it easier for you to be that person during your normal day, instead of the unconscious person living by those habituations. It takes asking those important questions. No one likes to ask those questions because a lot of times, quite frankly, we dont like the answers. If we run from our own disgrace and we run from our own suffering, well surely run into it a lot faster. We run from that because with entertainment, work and social events, we dont have to confront issues. Anybody who has made any personal change that was worth it has separated themselves from those elements, took a deep look and began to make up their mind. When you say, I am going to do this independent of the circumstances, independent of time and not in my environment, when we make up our mind with that type of intention, thats the moment the frontal lobe turns on. Thats the moment we start putting the mind back in the brain and on the threshold. And that sometimes, quite sadly usually, takes some type of near fatality for a person to do that. And yet all the greats in history: Martin Luther King, Abraham Lincoln, William Wallace, Mahatma Ghandi, etc. made these commitments: I have a principle and Im not compromising to it. I dont care how long it takes. I dont care what anybody else is doing. Im not going to out-compromise my thoughts and my actions. Im going to keep them aligned. Theres this period of chaos because it creates inconvenience. Yet if we can hang on, the cream rises to the top and you have whats called an individual. And that individual is uncompromising. They will not compromise their truth because theyve already earned the right to have thoughts and ideas and behavior lined up. Theyre uncompromising and beyond reproach. No one is going to bribe them. No one is going to change their mind. No one is going to find a way to undermine them at that particular level of humanity. Thats how greatness is formed. JA: I totally agree. I have a question to ask you. It revolves around our old conditioning, going to school, getting a degree. They used to tell us that getting a degree would pretty much ensure our successful. My belief is that regardless of your education, you make your choices and then you go out and either live and die by those choices or succumb to all the circumstances you want to tell yourself about. What is your experience with somebody who is highly educated and successful versus somebody who does the right things, has the right thoughts and is successful? JD: Thats kind of a funny balance. Ive discussed this a few times in the past. Theres this dance that has to take place between having too much knowledge and not enough experience. If you have too much knowledge and not enough experience, youre a philosopher. If you have very little knowledge and a lot of experience, more than likely, if its tipping the scales, youre ignorant because it doesnt necessarily mean that you have the experiences that are going to shape or evolve you. When one gains knowledge (even if its a small amount, even if someone hears something and it sticks and theyre willing to run with it, apply it, use it), theyll move faster than the person who has all this knowledge but never really makes any moves. Even if those people who have energy, enthusiasm, interest theyre excited about learning and very willing to use it and apply it those are the people that will move the fastest. The ones that analyze, rationalize, think about it, forecast which way it will go and what will happen, they dont want to get out of the armchair. They want to sit there in their intellectual quiet because they may fail. A person who doesnt have a problem with failure is usually a person who will take small bits of knowledge and integrate it very quickly, and is the one who will move the fastest. JA: Ive seen that time and time again. The right information in the right order backed by action is where Ive seen the most success happen. Ive always said to people that my blessing was my not feeling good about something I did or said for a momentary period of time. If you think about it, if you know youre going to make it sooner or later, you wouldnt mind failing. If you dont know youre going to make it, failing is going to become a very big issue. Thats the key right there. I think also the meaning you give failure determines whether or not youre okay with it. I was taught in my late teens that failure was just one way that it didnt work. It was just a lesson and meant that I should just do it again, but a little bit differently. JD: Were certainly conditioned in different environmental settings and family settings to have it mean different things. I know in my own childrens lives any time they failed or fell I looked at them and said, Get up. Thats just part of the whole game. The biggest question we have to ask ourselves, and this is what I ask my kids, Lets sit down and think about this. How would you do it differently if the event came again? Think about it. Lets decide a new way of handling this when it happens. Thats plasticity. Its modifying our act end of story. If you teach a child that type of plasticity, that type of adaptability, thats evolution. When we no longer adapt to circumstances because we freeze, thats what survival is. Survival is freezing. You freeze when youre in survival because you dont want a predator to spot you. We freeze in our life in the same way. Were afraid to move outside the forest because were afraid we may actually become prey. All these mechanisms kick in and that defines the extent of our growth and evolution. There are really two states of being: creation and survival. We spend most of our time in survival. In creation its really a simple process, integrate new information into the system. Lets think about a new way of doing it. Lets get excited about it and lets want the experience to come so we can do better the next time. The circuit is in place. The information is organized in our brain, yet we resist that experience. Still, that experience has to come in order to create our own. JA: Whenever someone is thinking about (or doing) something new, there is going to be some stress. Chemicals are going to be released. How does somebody feel those chemicals and do it anyway? Any recommendations? Thats my definition of genius, being uncomfortable and being okay with it. Thats my definition of genius. If you know that when you begin to make a change and you start to think and act differently, that your body is going to feel uncomfortable. I always say that it is like crossing the big river. Youre going to step into the water and its going to be cold. Youre going to look back like you want to go back on familiar ground. Then youre going to start walking and its going to get a little deeper and a little colder and the current is going to get a little stronger and there are going to be brambles flying by. There could be fish in there or whatever else, slippery. Youre going to get half way across and youre going to say, I want to go back because this is too much. Those who persist through it and cross to the other side onto new territory are so glad they went for the adventure. Adventure is the thrill in itself. Breaking down thoughts, attitudes, beliefs and perceptions, breaking those down by the very simple monitoring of our own thinking and reacting will create chaos for the body initially. In a sense the body is just an animal and so its like youve trained an animal to act in certain ways and all of a sudden youre going to allow it to do something differently. The animal will still do the same thing even though youve given it freedom. Theres that first period where the trained dog even though it has freedom will keep doing what it does. Then there will come a period where there will be a sense of freedom and then theres a reconditioning period, which means I want to make you do this now. I want you to be aligned with my mind now. I want my mind and body to be one. But in the beginning stages, that chaos thats created, the thing that has to be understood is that that is absolutely normal. Evolution is not a comfortable process until there is reconditioning. We always say the same thing and that is, Im so glad I left the shire and went on a big adventure. Thats what that whole movie was about, leaving familiar territory and being confronted with adventure and once that adventure takes place, you cant not want to go again. Even though youre happy to be home, you say, You know, Im going to go on another one. Thats life. Thats the beauty of life. JA: Ilya Prigogine won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1977 for his chaos theory (contributions to nonequilibrium thermodynamics, particularly the theory of dissipative structures). Basically decreeing that every living organism will go through absolute chaos where it looks like, feels like, smells like, and tastes like youre in hell until you evolve into a higher, living organism. JA: Thats what Im hearing. Is that accurate? JD: JA: Thats exactly what it is. For all of you who are feeling right now that youre in chaos, chaos is good. Change your meaning of it. Youre obviously evolving and growing. Its so much more palatable. Ive gone through so many changes in my life and, Joe, I know you have. I have such a different meaning to it right now. The other thing I know as a human being is that we are forever changing. Changing is our only constant. You have to get comfortable with change because that means youre growing. JD: JD: One of the more prevalent times that change becomes a big issue is when we think were going to lose something. The truth is that Ive had to condition myself to understand that change is always gain. In always some way or another Im out of routine, Im out of habit. I have to start acclimating with new habits. I have to upscale my mind to match a new future. Most of us really want to move away from that. Yet when we rise to the occasion and put a little bit more effort into it, were always amazed at what a great job we do. Thats the bottom line. You cant bring it out of somebody unless there is chaos. Chaos is the defining element of self. I agree. I think one of the reasons we started OneCoach was to help people through that chaos, to help people understand that its normal, to give them the accountability part of doing what they do on a consistent basis so that change is a little bit easier. Not uncomfortable, but a little bit easier when you understand it. Joe, based on your research, how long does it take for somebody to start seeing or feeling the beginnings of Im a different person who is capable of achieving X? Have you done some research on that? Im interested for the people listening because theyre business owners from around the world and they all want to take their success to another level. I will tell you that they used to say that it takes twenty-one days to break a habit and create a new one. To some extent thats true, but its not totally true. The truth is that if you understood how rehearsal works and how to reach deeper levels of mind, then it could happen overnight. Change doesnt necessarily have a timeframe attached to it. Its equal to our focus, our intent, and our willingness to let go and surrender. I know that sounds like the biggest oxymoron that was ever said. But thats the dance. The dance is setting the intention, having the idea, falling in love with your future. Then, if you take time out of your day to do that, there should be some sign in your world that youve taken time to interact with the greater mind and that you should see something happen in your world that is a signal that youve made contact with it. If youre sincere and youre making those efforts, you should have initially no signals because youre in chaos and then all of a sudden youll start experiencing little signals to let you know youre moving in the right direction; signposts, if you will, or, mile markers. The brain learns by feedback. The greatest feedback we get is always from our environment. If were making changes internally, there should be some reflection in our external world. To make the finality of change we think that we see changes to reach our goals, goals are finite and purpose is infinite. Of course, we all have a purpose. The goals we set up along the line are just different markers to let us know that we kept our intention and we havent left or broken from having thoughts and actions aligned. I always say that if you make the effort every single day, youre sincere, and you apply what you learn, there should be measurable feedback every single day. I expect that in my life. I expect the feedback to let me know that I have thought, action, deed, and purpose, all in alignment. Some people will do it in a very short amount of time. Those are the people that apply it, personalize it, and run with it. Theyre enthusiastic to adapt; if it doesnt work theyll put a little extra energy into it. The other person will over-analyze, overscrutinize, try to figure out whats wrong. Theyll spend too much time. That dance between time to wire it in your brain and then surrendering it to a greater mind is the art. Thats the art right there. JA: Thats the art of believing. Everybody on this call should, if you have been in OneCoach for a while, understand what Joes talking about as he discusses a greater mind as well as getting into some quantum physics here. Im going to give you the opportunity to let people know where they can get a copy of your outstanding book, Evolve Your Brain: The Science of Changing Your Mind. Im going to share with people that I am studying this book right now. Im recommending it to everybody I know. Its not just because Joe and I are friends. Hes just done the most research and has put it together in a way that its worthy to be in your library. Learn yourself. Learn with your spouse. Teach it to your kids. Make sure their teachers have a copy of it so that they start to help our younger ones understand. With adults we have to change our mind. With kids we just have to help them make theirs up. Where do people get the book, Joe, and how would you like to leave the listeners of OneCoach? To all our friends all around the world, you guys are the best. Keep making sure that you learn and apply that information and share it with somebody else so you make a difference in other peoples lives. All the best to everybody this week. Thanks. This is John Assaraf on behalf of everybody on the OneCoach team saying goodbye. Thanks, Joe, have a great one. Bye now. JD: JD: My book is listed on Amazon.com. You can visit my Website, www.drjoedispenza.com. Its on sale this month actually. The book was probably twice the size that it is now; we whittled it down; I wanted to provide a manual for people to begin to make measurable changes in their life. If the book is half the size, you had an encyclopedia before. There is so much great material. I dont read Joes book, I study it. Joes done so much phenomenal work to bring us to the forefront of whats possible and he teaches us how to do it, which is what Im all about, taking action. This has been an absolute joy. Thanks for teaching me and for sharing your wonderful work, wisdom, heart, and your love with us. JD: Thank you, John; it was a privilege.

We both had the combination starter. Hubby had the Mixed Thai Red Curry with boiled rice and really enjoyed it. I had the Prawns in Chefs Special Sauce with Noodles. Very nice. We both had Ice Cream and Coffee after. It is great value at €19.50 a head and the service was excellent. If we were down that area again, we would definitely eat here.

Gorgeous fresh Thai food, only problem is we can't stay away. Can never decide what to choose as the whole menu is gorgeous. Great value early bird and lunch time menus. Ask Gizzy26 about Kambo Thai Restaurant Thank Gizzy26 EddieOnTour 248132 Best Value Lunch In Waterford We had an excellent evening meal here. We went for the early-bird menu served from 5.30pm – 7.30pm at €19.50 for a 3 course meal. The meal was excellent I had the Jumbo Prawns with chef’s special sauce and the prawns were HUGE and very tasty. You will not get this size or quality of prawns elsewhere in Waterford. We went back again for the set lunch which has to be the best value lunch in Waterford at €12.50 for 3 courses. We went to a recently opened Italian restaurant for lunch in Waterford and the quality and value did not come close to this restaurant. The special red curry was excellent and the Chicken Garlic Chilli was excellent and while this is a Thai restaurant there are many dishes that are closer to Chinese. We have been coming here for lunch for the last 6 years and we still believe it is the best value lunch meal in Waterford. Refer attached menus.
