Aspery Hotel, Patong Hotels from ₹ 1,098 - KAYAK Overview english not too good english not too good Great location, nice staff, good value for money Poor selection of english channals on tv The newly decorated rooms and the short distance to all the shopping areas. The beach was also nearby. Shower hardly works and the water was only ever luke warm/cold during our 7 night stay. The lobby/reception area is low budget looking but rooms are completely different!! Location gets an okay in five~ten minutes walking to Patong beach and five minutes walking to restaurants...5 minutes driving to "walking street". Free internet access in room. staff is not so active at service...no slippers for their tile floor in room...room light is a bit dim. The location is very strategic Cannot enjoy the swimming pool coz on the maintainance. I enjoyed the breakfast every mornng when I stayed at Aspery. The food is definitely to my liking. Another plus point is that unlike some other hotels, the menu in Aspery for breakfast changes daily (at least when I was there). It was a pity that the swimming pool was closed for some works when I was there. I did not get to use the pool facilities at all. I would appreciate if there's a clothes line in the bathroom. It's near the beach Reviewed Aug 2010 by Anonymous review from KAYAK Huge huge rooms and huge bathroom. Most excellent breakfast. The waitress in the resturant spoke better english than front desk clerk! No hot water in shower or tub. Reviewed Mar 2010 by Anonymous review from KAYAK Prime location and wifi connectivity. Cheerful staff and rooms were excellently maintained. None that comes across my mind except the noise from construction work in the adjacent building. Reviewed Dec 2009 by Anonymous review from KAYAK Good location, friendly staff, nice room and restaurant serves good food at a reasonable price There is a load of building work going on next to the hotel at the moment resulting in noise (not the fault of the hotel) The staff were very helpful whenever you ask for some information some even go the extra mile to assist you. The hotel is very clean and the price is reasonable but you get a better price during the off peak season. My next visit I will definitely stay at the Aspery Hotel it is value for money and I will recommend my friends should they go to Phuket. Nothing to complain

Life In The Zesch Household: April 2010 Passover and the TLC Easter Outreach Tuesday we celebrated Passover. Roy had the Bar B Que place cook our sheep and we had potatoes, brussel sprouts, salad, haroset ( a mixture of apples, grape juice, cinnamon, and nuts), representing the sweetness of the freedom from Egypt. We also had bitter herbs, matza and grape juice. Roy read the passover story. Interestingly, we celebrated passover on Tues. and helped with a traditional Easter outreach today. Although Easter is a very pagan holiday I think the heart of reaching people and telling them about the love of Jesus is an OK thing. Tree of Life Church Easter Outreach. They had a HUGE egg hunt with over 140,000 eggs. We stuffed 500. Just a drop in the bucket. Jenny and Justin took Joshua, Joy, Jimmie, Michael, Matthew, and Stella to hunt eggs. A helicopter flew over right before the hunt, making 3 drops of more eggs. Roy was in charge of the cooking. He is so good at this and he loves it. Patty was itching to help on the pit this year. She started out cooking and the fire was really HOT. The other men saw her light complexion the color of a lobster and voted for Patty to throw patties on the pit. One guy asked Roy what the girl throwing patties name was, when he told him it was Patty, he wasn't sure whether to believe him or not. LOL They cooked 5000 burgers and 4000 hot dogs. Actually, Annie cooked all the hot dogs. Roy was teasing the men who helped him cook, saying that they were slacking when his 19 year old was almost done single-handily cooking the 4000 hot dogs. Hee Hee. Here she is multi-tasking. LOL There were inflatables. Pastor Walt Landers gave a message about the Love of Jesus, the real meaning of Easter, and how TLC wanted to reach out and love on the community. It was a good, fun, hard-working day. Easy for me to say. I just showed up, visited with old friends, and hung out with our younger children. Posted by Julie Zesch at 7:42 PM No comments:

ESPN 100 SF Victor Law a historic recruit for Northwestern Wildcats - ESPN Law a historic recruit for Northwestern July, 4, 2013 The Chris Collins era got off to a fantastic start in recruiting on Thursday when ESPN 100 small forward Victor Law (South Holland, Ill/St. Rita) committed to Northwestern over VCU and Dayton. Law, who is the nation’s No. 66 prospect in the Class of 2014, is Collins’ first recruit at Northwestern and the highest ranked for the Wildcats in recent memory. If he makes it to Northwestern, he would be the program’s first ESPN 100 player since the rankings began in 2007. ESPN 100 point guard Jaren Sina originally signed with Northwestern in the 2013 class but decommitted and signed with Seton Hall after the Wildcats fired Bill Carmody this spring.

Tech News Today: Cork Raft Challenge for Kids Cork Raft Challenge for Kids Cork Raft Building Challenge So, what was our cork raft challenge? I challenged my daughter to build a mode of transportation for a family of 4 wooden peg people. The people had to be transported across water. I provided a few supplies; wine corks, toothpicks, paints, cardboard, string and a glue gun…but she had access to any supplies we had in our house. It took her a couple of hours of thinking and then she got to work. I loved watching her mind work. How would the people fit on the cork? How many corks would she need? How would she bind the corks together? How would whatever she made actually move? She floated around a few different ideas (pardon the pun), and decided to make a raft. Through trial and error, she decided to tie the corks together with the leather strings. We used the glue gun to adhere the sets of cork together…making a larger raft. How to move the raft? She decided to use the ends of the string she used to tie the corks together. She braided together the strings to make a tow rope. Thus, the raft could move across the water. Once the raft base was built the next challenge was holding the peg family. The solution was to make a “rug” out of cardboard and use the glue gun to adhere it to the raft. My daughter carefully balanced the people on the rug as we placed the raft in the bowl of water. SUCCESS! The raft floated and was easily towed around the bowl. We hope to take the raft down to the ravine later this week. This was a fabulous science, design and build activity for my daughter. We had great discussions about buoyancy, friction and movement…all topics she is learning about at school right now. This activity was hands on science learning and it was a lot of fun. How might you and your children have answered the cork boat challenge?

If there’s no subsidy…, we’ll end up buying a dollar at N500 – Dangote – Afonja Gists If there’s no subsidy…, we’ll end up buying a dollar at N500 – Dangote Aliko Dangote warns on the biggest mistake a businessman can make Media men had a piece of Aliko Dangote last weekend. And when they were done many appreciated why he is one of the richest in the world. In an interactive session with senior editors Dangote discussed state of the nation while explaining some details in his businesses that are geared towards a better life for Nigerians. His tremendous knowledge in many areas awed the audience. But what moved them most was his patriotism. He called on Nigerians to invest at home and create jobs. “Five to 10 people can make Nigeria a great economy,” he said. And what with the power situation in Nigeria? “We’ll not have meaningful development until we sort out power problems in the country,” he tells government. Dangote spoke from his heart. Here’s Africa’s richest man who doesn’t own a house abroad. His is about how to make Nigeria a better place. And, again, his humility thawed many especially those meeting him for the first time. Below are just a few of the things he said on the night, his own words as captured by ONOCHIE ANIBEZE On oil subsidy The issue with subsidy is that government needs to block all loopholes. If there’s no subsidy, it will affect our foreign exchange, we’ll end up buying a dollar at N500, because there’s no VAT on petroleum products. That’s why the import of petroleum products is taking about 30% of our foreign reserve. We just need to make sure that there’s no siphoning of money. The refining business requires volume. If you don’t have a massive volume, there’s no way you’ll make money. Most of the refineries in Africa are running at a big loss. It’s not possible for government officials to successfully manage oil businesses. It’s good enough if they remove the subsidy, but you can check with neighbouring countries like Senegal. If a poor person in Senegal can afford to pay subsidy, why can’t a poor person in Nigeria afford to pay. I think there must be something for the masses, which should be in terms of power, social insurance, good education system, good roads etc. Factory in Ethiopia By the end of 2017, we would have invested in about 16 countries and these are very heavy investments. I’m going to announce the expansion of the plant we just commissioned in Ethiopia. This is just to expand our operations. It is taking 40 Megawatts of power which is more than what Kano is getting today which is 38 Megawatts. We don’t have generators on standby. There is nothing like generator there which we normally have everywhere in Nigeria. It’s one of the few countries that is growing at double digits because they have power and because they are a bit more serious than we are in Nigeria. You hardly find potholes on their roads. A factory like that in Nigeria would need about 60 Megawatts of power and 30 Megawatts on standby which is a total of 90 Megawatts and it would have cost us about 130 million dollars. The cost of doing business there is less. In the last twelve years, they’ve had an average of 10.8% GDP growth. This year, they are running at 10.6% GDPA. This requires determination and seriousness. These things are humanly possible and we should be able to do them. It’s not really the work of the government to make a country prosperous, it’s the work of individuals because the duty of the government is to facilitate, but government will not have the money to invest. That’s why it’s shameful that some Nigerians go and keep their money abroad. It is very difficult when we have a huge chunk of our money abroad and we want foreigners to come and invest. They won’t believe that the environment is good. It won’t work that way. The only way is for us to lead, even though we can’t do all, but that leadership will pave the way for others to invest their money in our economy. In fairness, it’s difficult for people to find a place where they can make good money like Nigeria but it is also very tough. Once you are in business in Nigeria, you won’t be able to find enough sleep. Doctors always advice that we sleep for six to seven hours. I don’t think people who sleep for that long can operate businesses in Nigeria(laughter). On payment of taxes People don’t pay taxes because they don’t see what they are being used for. Initially, Lagosians were upset about tax payment, but they realised that it’s important to pay taxes because they started seeing that the money is being used judiciously. The issue of not paying taxes is really reckless. The first thing I always think about is paying my workers’ salary. We are all on the brink of danger if so many states are not paying taxes and are heavily indebted. If you do a financial analysis, you’ll discover that some of the states are technically bankrupt. I tell people that when you own a company, the government is automatically a shareholder. They are even guaranteed shareholders because whether you make money or not, they’ll make money. If I open up a factory today, first of all, I’m risking my money. I have to pay interest on money borrowed from banks. From my profit the government will take 30% as corporate tax and 2% education. The only way for me to make money from that business is to declare dividends and when I declare dividend, they’ll also take 10% holding tax. You realise at the end of the day that in your own business, government is taking 42%. You begin to wonder if it makes sense. Of course it does. There’s no way the government can function without taxation. If the partnership is only for us to enjoy and not pay taxes, it’s not sustainable. So definitely, someone has to pay the taxes, I’m not supporting an increase in taxation, I’m calling for an increase in VAT because when I did the numbers, I realised that 5% additional VAT will amount to about 900 million. The most difficult thing to do in any organisation is to reduce salaries. It’s much easier to reduce the number of workers. No country operates on 5% VAT, the minimum is 15%. What we don’t want is social acrimony. The last strike cost us over N15 billion and we’ve not gone back to the normal situation, it takes time. The most dangerous thing that could happen to an entrepreneur is for him to go into a business he doesn’t understand. You need to know the A to Z of the business you are doing. That’s the only way you can succeed. That’s the biggest mistake most people are making. I don’t think that most of the people that have invested in power really understand what it is. It involves three things; generation, transmission and distribution and all the three require heavy investment. There are a lot of issues that we have to resolve and I think with seriousness, we’ll be able to do them. We have gas, but we shouldn’t use gas alone. We took the decision that by the end of the year, all our cement plants will be using coal. The coal is there and Nigeria will not be competitive in exporting it because we don’t have the infrastructure to take these coal for export. We’ve started using coal and there’s no emission, not a single dust anywhere. Technology has changed, 38% of power being generated in America is by coal. In our own operations, we’ve discovered that running on coal is cheaper than gas. We need to see how we can build a lot of infrastructure because that would help to open up the economy and make us independent. The government has to sit down and find a solution to power. We will not have any meaningful development till we are able to sort out the power issue. We won’t have an inclusive GDPA unless we tackle power. The power issue is a great one and it’s preventing everyone from progressing. In Uganda, they increased the power to 230 Megawatts and the next year, their GDP grew by additional 4%. The biggest problem we have in Nigeria is that we don’t quantify time. That’s why people will sit in traffic from here to Ikeja for two to three hours. If you invite me to a place and if I’m totally free and available, I’ll look at how many hours it will cost me. If it will take five hours of my day, I won’t go except I’m going for business purposes. That’s my policy. I put a lot into consideration and do some calculations, if I’ll need to send someone to represent me, I do that. On refinery We are building a refinery and our refinery will make more money if there is subsidy. We have changed the size of the refinery three times because we are looking at the maximum we can do that has ever been done. We started with about 400,000, then we shifted to 500,000. Now, we took it to 650,000 barrels per day. That’s the biggest ever single line thresh of refinery. It’s a huge plant and it comes with a lot of challenges, but at the end of the day, it will save us a substantial amount of money. Presently, about 38% of our foreign exchange goes to petroleum products, so I think that will totally eliminate it and eliminate all the imports. We will also be able to export and we won’t do it all by ourselves. Other refineries will produce. Even if other refineries are not working, we’ll be able to satisfy 100% local demand and we’ll be able to export massively. Five to ten people can make Nigeria a great economy. We have to encourage Nigerians to invest at home. I think there will not be an improvement in job creation unless people go into Agriculture. I know even in Agriculture, there’s money. We are also doing four sugarcane factories. We want to export sugar. We are doing a lot of sugar and rice and I think that in the next four to five years, we’ll be able to create about 180,000 jobs. There are only two countries in the whole of West Africa that eat parboiled rice – Nigeria and Sierra-Leone. Other neighbouring countries eat white rice. So, what’s the business of Republic of Benin collecting ships of parboiled rice to Niger. How can Niger eat two billion tons of rice? We have no business importing sugar, there’s so much land and water here. God has given us these things and we have to use them. Today, Ethiopia is growing rapidly, but the mainstay of their economy is agriculture. It’s only a Nigerian that calls an airline and even when he’s told that they have 20 people on standby, he still carries his bag to the airport. We are the only people God has created that way. He will say ‘Don’t worry when I get there first’. When he gets there, he starts shouting and complaining, whereas he had already been told. On gas generation We’ve been wondering what the issue is, why we’ve been unable to get gas. The total amount of gas that is being supplied out of the entire trillions of fields of gas that we have is only about 6.7billion of which 3.5 billion is for export energy, 1.25 billion flares, while about 1.3 is for their own operational use. A little over one billion is what we get for domestic use. We pass part of it to the West African gas pipeline in Togo and Ghana. There is a lot of gas in the east but there’s no usage. Majority of them are in the shallow waters. Nobody will spend their money to generate the gas unless the infrastructure are on ground. Buying Arsenal FC The issue is that if I buy all the Nigerian clubs, the Nigerian flags will continue to remain here. But buying Arsenal will take the Nigerian flag worldwide. Just like whenever Abrahamovich is mentioned, the name of his country, Russia comes up, everyone knows he’s Russian. On railway construction Railway is so expensive that it’s only the government that can run it. The cheapest railway line is about 3.7 to 4 million dollars per kilometre. If you want to construct a railway from Lagos to Kano, you need about four and half billion dollars and that’s private sector cost, not government cost. We wanted to do from Lagos to Calabar and it was about 12 billion dollars. I also think that the government should start building concrete roads, because we’ve realised that concrete roads are far cheaper and they last for more than 40 years. We are doing one in Ogun State. But in any country where there’s corruption, they wouldn’t want to do concrete roads, because it lasts a lifetime. We’ve not maximized the use of money in this country. As a country, it’s shameful that we are still struggling to pay salaries. We shouldn’t allow people to hear that. Ghana just had a week of power outage and everybody took to the streets with placards. They should come to Nigeria and see what we are experiencing. Houses outside Nigeria? Someone once asked me how many houses I have abroad. The truth is, I don’t have a nine- inch block outside this country, I don’t have any house anywhere in the world outside Nigeria. Cautious about media business I once went to see Abiola and I said to him, you look a bit worried. And he told me he could not sleep because of a publication. He said, “How many times will I be chasing reporters and running my business. Let me advise you, don’t go and do this newspaper business.” When people realise that the paper is not balanced – you are always pro-government, it is a challenge. The worst tag a paper can have is to be marked a government paper. The general feeling is that they are eating from the government. So that is why I run away from the media business. That’s not to say I won’t do it. Previous Previous post: @DeleMomodu Ramadan Talk: Preparing for the blessed night Next Next post: 9yr old boy pictured killing a dog in Calabar…for dog meat (photos)

The Ramadhan effect – more blood donors needed! | Otterman speaks... 18 August 2011 otterman blood Leave a comment It seems that the reduced number of donors during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadhan leaves the blood bank in Singapore a critical state after several bleeding emergencies. This must mean that in Singapore, our Muslim friends represent a significant number of blood donors. How generous of them! DonorWeb and the Ramadhan shortage I was chatting with an ex-leukemia patient recently who told me about the difficult times she experienced when blood stocks were low. She and her fellow patients laboured through those difficult times and were relieved when things returned to normal. Now free of the disease, she is grateful, for her afflicted friends have left this earth while she lives. But she is unable to play a role to donate as she has very low levels of haemoglobin still. I am surprised at the number of my friends who are unable to donate as they struggle with anaemia, a past hepatits infection, or other health reasons. They are willing and eager and have the right heart for the task. But are unable. In a statement, both agencies said the recent increased hospital utilisation caused by several bleeding emergencies, and reduced support for corporate blood mobiles due to the fasting month, have resulted in a slow recovery of the daily blood supply. In view of the upcoming long weekend, SRC and HSA aim to ramp up the current blood stocks to meet the daily transfusion needs of patients as well as for bleeding emergencies. In Singapore, more than 350 units are needed daily to meet the transfusion needs of patients in hospitals. Donors who have not made a donation in the past 12 weeks are encouraged to donate as well.

First, A Holden Update: I took Holden to his two week well baby check up on Tuesday and he is doing great! Not only has he met his birth weight, he's gained 9 additional ounces. He was so good at the doctor's appointment. The doctor checked him out and said, "You're really lucky to have such an easy baby." Ha! He should just come visit us at home! Holden will not let me put him down. He nurses every hour all night long and I have had to learn to sleep sitting up because the only way he will sleep is in my arms! (And writing blog posts takes forever now since I can only type with one hand!) Luckily, I discovered babywearing... I can just put him in a wrap and he falls asleep (as long as I keep moving) and I can get a few things done. Well, today was my first day at home by myself since my c-section. And I have a renewed respect for all of the stay at home moms out there! It's going to take me a little time to get any sort of routine down, but I wanted to get things back to semi-normal for Aiden, so we did an art project. I'm really going to try to get my themed weeks going again. This week: Polar Animals Aiden was born in Alaska (a fact that everyone in our family loves and tells him all the time). Lately, he has been really into looking at my Alaska photo albums and he decided that he wanted to make all of the animals he saw in my pictures. First up: A moose... And Holden is in his wrap, so we're ready to start! First, I traced both of Aiden's feet. He was really concerned that the crayon would get on his foot and spent a few minutes inspecting them before we could move on. Then we painted both of his hands and made handprints. I cut out the tracings of his feet and had him paint them. Then I cut out some ears which he painted. I put it all together and painted the eyes. Then we let it dry. I wanted to glue it on a piece of bright paper so it would stand out, but Aiden chose brown because "moose like to hide". Who knew that carrying around a 2 week old baby and doing an art project with a 3 year old could be so exhausting! Posted by Melissa at 5:25 PM 13 comments: Labels: activities, crafts, handprint, polar animals Aiden has really taken to his role as big brother. He wants to be around Holden all the time! When I change his diaper (on a changing pad in the floor), Aiden lays down beside him and says, "Hey, little brother. Did you know that I love you so very much?" Holden will just stare at Aiden and move his little hands around. Aiden loves this and says, "Mommy! He likes me!" It's too cute. And Aiden is such a huge help. He is constantly bringing me diapers and blankets and trying to cover Holden up. He's even "helped" me change a poopy diaper! LOL But every time, he hears Holden crying, he says, "Mommy! The baby's crying. I think he wants you." So far that's the only thing he dislikes about his brother! The other day I was trying to explain to Aiden why he isn't allowed to pick Holden up. I will let him hold the baby but only if one of us is right beside him. I tried to tell him that his neck wasn't strong enough to hold his head up yet. Aiden said, "Don't worry, Mommy. His head won't fall off, it's glued on." Meeting Holden for the first time at the hospital The first time Aiden got to hold his little brother Our first day home from the hospital. Aiden is making his "mean face" Labels: big brother, brothers I had my scheduled c-section on September 8. I had to call labor and delivery at 5:00 that morning and they asked me to be there at 7. Once I got to the hospital, they immediately took me back and put me on an IV and started drawing blood. Then they informed me that they couldn't find any of my records and the surgeon wasn't happy because he wanted to confirm the dates just to make sure the baby wasn't going to be too early. So, I sat there hooked to my IV and feeling extremely nervous for an entire hour before they finally located my chart. UGH!!! I don't recommend transferring hospitals at 36 weeks! and showing off my support stockings that I got to wear for the last three weeks (with capris and flip flops! LOL) Finally, they made me walk through the waiting area(!) to the operating room. I was so nervous at this point that I was shaking. The anesthesiologist immediately started my spinal and wow! It was painful! I don't remember it being like that with Aiden. At one point, I felt an electric shock run through the entire right side of my body and the doctor said, "Oops!" Did I mention that I'm going to a teaching hospital? The "President's hospital", but still a teaching facility! They were showing some of the residents how to clean the area they were getting ready to cut and I heard them say, "Just think about mowing a lawn. Overlap and make sure everything is covered. We don't want to cause an infection." And then they felt the need to tell me that a third year resident was going to do my surgery... I was able to calm down a little when Matt was allowed to come in. He held my hand and tried his best to comfort me. l was really scared from my past experience and acted like a big baby... When I had Aiden, I was in labor for 21 hours before the emergency c-section. I had been given two epidurals and a spinal and I didn't have any feeling whatsoever below my forehead. I was so afraid that was going to happen again. Also, when I had Aiden, I lost a lot of blood and since my iron was really low this time (at my last appointment, my doctor discussed using general anesthesia in case my levels were too low on the day of the surgery) I was terrified that I was going to have some kind of problem. I cried almost the entire time they were doing my surgery and Matt kept reassuring me that everything was going well. Even after hearing Holden crying, I couldn't calm down until I was in the recovery area! Obviously, I wasn't able to hold Holden right away, but the doctors let Matt hold him by my head while they finished sewing my incision and cleaning me up. Seeing your baby for the first time is just amazing. There just aren't words to describe it. He was perfect! And I fell in love with him immediately... DOB: September 8, 2009 at 9:53 AM So, I'm not sure how many hospitals still have nurseries, but neither of the hospitals I have delivered at have them. I was very fortunate that my dad was able to come and stay with me while I was in hospital. Matt wasn't able to miss school and my mom wasn't able to get off work either (she will be staying with us next week). My recovery (being able to walk and go to the bathroom by myself) went really well and I was actually able to go home 48 hours after having my c-section. Our first picture at home with our two babies! (Yikes! I'm looking a little rough, but I did just have a baby! Aiden LOVES being a big brother. He helps me out so much and really wants to be involved with Holden, but that's another post! It's taken me an entire day to write this one! Looks like we're going to be pretty busy for awhile! Posted by Melissa at 8:14 PM 14 comments: Labels: baby Holden, big brother Posted by Melissa at 5:27 AM 16 comments: Well, I'm feeling much better today! And I wanted to thank everyone for their nice thoughts and comments. After taking a shower and 3 warm baths, my back labor eased enough for me to do an activity with Aiden. (I have to admit, I've not been a very fun mommy lately.) Aiden has been playing with play-doh a lot this past week. He got a set of letter cookie cutters for his birthday and he has been fascinated with looking through books of animals and trying to match the letters in their names with his cookie cutter letters. He will then cut the letters out and spell the names with his play-doh. He gets so excited when he finishes a name! It's really cute. I was looking through my folder of preschool activities and came across a recipe for play dough. I've always been to lazy to do it because it requires cooking! But I thought Aiden might enjoy it so I asked if him if he would like to make some glitter dough. Of course he said yes! The Ingredients and Recipe: Glitter (We added this on our own since Aiden still LOVES glitter! Once it's cooked in the play dough, it doesn't come off on your hands) Add: 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract (This is supposed to improve texture and also gives the play dough a nice scent) Cooking the play dough: Oh what a mess!!! (But it was actually really easy to clean up) Aiden using his letters and being a little goofy! Aiden had a fun time making this glitter play dough and I love the recipe. I love the texture of the play dough and the smell too! We will definitely be making it again in the future. Aiden has already planned out all of the colors we're going to make!

Notices | GrindQuest When you notice this, then you’ve been notified. World of Warcraft – Legion Aug 7 It’s looking like Burning Crusade 2.0, but that was my favorite, so this is like crack to me. WoW just announced its next expansion yesterday. I have a passing fondness for the game, which is to say I’ve been playing it for 10 years and will never get that time back. I quit “for good” a few months ago, but I think I will probably end up playing the new expansion. There’s a lot of different reasons why WoW’s particular brand of hype works on me, such as my love of the lore and general weakness to Skinnerian MMO tactics, but the main one is probably the fact that I’ve already invested so much time in the game. I also have a lot of real life friends that play the game, so when one of us relapses, the rest of us do as well. World of Warcraft has lost a record-breaking number of subscribers in the past few months, and if you haven’t seen the figures, they went from 10 million players to around 5.6 million. The current expansion, Warlords of Draenor, hasn’t just been a disappointment, it’s been a disaster. Lack of content, boring and chore-like garrisons, poor characterization and plot, you can criticize WoD from almost every angle. It took 9 months of Dragon Soul to make me quit last time, but it only took about 2 months of trying to push Mythic raids in Blackrock Foundry. Let me give you a little context. I have raided every tier of dungeon in Warcraft, with the exception of the current 6.2 content. I’ve been the main tank for our raids (protection paladin) for years, and while I’m certainly not the best, I always do well, both by my own standards and the standards of things like World of Logs and AskMrRobot. I love raiding, it’s what really makes Warcraft fun for me, but this last expansion actually proved too hard for my guild. Mythic raids really showed us who we were having to carry, and when it came right down to it, we couldn’t carry 10 out of the 20 players in our raid. Moreover, the people who were not skilled enough were longstanding members of our relatively casual guild, and we didn’t want to ask them to leave. So I quit, along with all my real life friends. Quitting WoW gave me a lot of free time that I’m still not sure how to properly use. I started doing this blog again and learning video editing, and I’m happy to not have to raid on a nightly schedule. However, when I see the upcoming stuff like customizable artifact weapons for every class (Ashbringer for Paladin!), and the class halls, and generally just let myself get sucked into the hype, I want to play again. As I understand it, the lore of the new expansion has Illidan and Gul’dan, along with more Khadgar. The Burning Legion is finally attacking real Azeroth again, and it’s a big deal, obviously. All of this news makes me flounder around in indecision, because it sounds awesome. I’m going to attempt something new on this blog to keep myself from re-subscribing to the eternal timesink that is WoW. I’m going to write out my journey from lowly noob in 2005 to jaded 2015 ex-raider. It details the saga of how I formed my long-standing raiding guild, made a lot of friends that I still do things with on a daily basis, and in general learned about leadership and the internet itself. If I can do it right, hopefully I can capture all the different eras of WoW’s experience, and share how I came to see the game, and why I love it and know I shouldn’t play it anymore. In the process, I hope to improve my own writing skill. Look forward to it! Posted in Games, Notices Leave a comment Tags: world of warcraft The Leak Aug 3 Today started like a normal day for me, I got up, exercised for an hour on a stationary bike, showered, and went to my closet for clothes. And then I stepped in something wet. And then I noticed all the carpet in the closet was wet, and then I started to panic. I keep a lot of things in my closet, and one of the things most vulnerable to water is a small bookshelf. The bottom shelf had absorbed so much water that all the books were swollen and stuck together, and the wood was almost twice its normal width. I moved everything out of the closet and began to assess the damage. Had it been leaking long? Where is the leak coming from, and is it ruining the walls? Will I need to pay for this, or the apartment management? I called the manager and they had a guy come look at it. Turns out the leak was coming from the AC unit in the closet, and was caused by a small blockage in the pipe that leads outside. Didn’t cost me anything to fix, and it should work fine now. I have fans running my closet to dry it out. It really wasn’t that big of a deal when summarized, but the main damage was done to my books. I have a pretty large book collection, so storing them means I will take whatever room I can get, hence the closet space being used. I managed to pry the fused row of books out of the shelf and separate them to see what could be saved. Pulling them out actually did take a lot of force, because I pack books in tight in the first place. The leak must have been going unnoticed for the past few days, because all of these books are moldy, inside and outside. There’s nothing I can do to save them, and it always makes me sad to have to throw away books. The only real solace is that most of them were books I read as a child, and I keep them in the closet because they don’t really need to be displayed to my adult friends or me. I lost compilations of the comic strips Dilbert and Foxtrot, some novels in the Pendragon series of books, and all of my Forgotten Realms collection. The Forgotten Realms are the biggest loss. I’m not really interested in reading about Drizzt or his friends anymore, but these were 13 pristine hardcover books with their jackets still attached. My parents gave them to me when I was a teenager after I told them how much I enjoyed the first one. I think this is the main reason I feel so bad about their loss; they were a thoughtful gift given to me with love. So that’s what I’ve been up to today. I don’t want to turn this into some sort of banal daily life blog, and I will get back to video games next time, but I thought I would give an update on what is distracting me today. I don’t have any more to say about SGDQ 2015, it was fun while it lasted but now that it’s over I will let it rest. Wednesday I want to talk about Call of Cthulu, if nothing else comes up. Thanks for reading. Posted in Notices Leave a comment Tags: water damage Hope You’re Not Sick of SGDQ 2015 Posts! Jul 31 Tags: sgdq 2015, speedrunning, video games SGDQ 2015 Continues!

Jul 27 Tags: sgdq 2015, speedruns, summer games done quick 2015, video games The Snarl May 10 I’ve been a gamer for over two decades, and I’ve lived in the same place for all that time. So when I look behind my TV with all my consoles (6 of them) hooked up to it, I see something akin to this: Honestly this is the best argument for just being a PC-exclusive gamer. I’m attempting to move all this nonsense to a different house, but I’m dreading having to untangle it all. I know making this sort of observation isn’t new or fresh, but you’d think that in our space-age, 2012 world, we’d have less mundane problems with too many wires. Anyways, because of my moving situation, I’ll be making short posts like this one for a few days. Suddenly! Apr 28 I’m out of town this weekend, making this post from my phone. It’s really awkward. I just wanted to say that Munchkin (the card game) is a great way to pass the time when you’re stuck in a cabin in the woods and it’s raining. If you don’t know what Munchkin is, it’s a chaotic and silly card game that at once lampoons and homages various video game and DnD tropes and staples. It’s fun, but it also can cause deep hatred to form between players, as the game allows you numerous opportunities to completely screw over the other players. The writing and item names are pretty brilliant, and the artwork on each card is very good. I should be back on Monday for a real post. Tags: board game, card game, munchkin I want to be the very best… Apr 25 I guess I’m talking about Blizzard products a lot this week, but hey, it’s been a good week so far. Today Blizzard tried to implement the highly anticipated Pet Battle system (think Pokemon mini-game, but with WoW pets) into the World of Warcraft Mists of Pandaria Beta. I was hoping that I’d be able to come to you today with a good review of how it works and how much fun it is, but that goal is going to have to be put on hold. Today, everything is broken. I’m serious. The servers have been crashing every few minutes even as I write this at 11:00 PM. Every time I even try to put out a pet, I get error messages all over. People are missing all of their pets, and you can’t battle anybody or any wild critters either. So hopefully I’ll be able to get back to you on the Pokemon stuff later. I’m excited about it because it’s a huge world-spanning addition to the game, and I’ve always wanted something like this to be playable online. Honestly, it’s the most interesting addition to the MMO that I’ve seen in the past 7 years. I wasn’t even sure I was going to try the Mists of Pandaria expansion until I heard about it. You can call me a fan boy, but I still enjoy Pokemon every now and then, and I still like playing WoW. Hopefully this stuff will be worked out soon and I can take a look. Tags: beta, mists of pandaria, pokemon, server crash, world of warcraft Fission Mailed Apr 11 Today I had a post talking about the intro to Super Paper Mario, and I don’t know what WordPress did, but it posted it blank and lost the draft. I have bits that I can pull back together, but I don’t have time for it today anymore, so I guess I’ll post it tomorrow. From now on, I’m never going to trust WordPress with this kind of thing. I’ll write them in Word, even if it means sometimes having weird image difficulties. Tags: analysis, gaming, mario, paper mario, review, super paper mario, video games Something Completely Different Apr 9 This week I’m going to take an in-depth look at Super Paper Mario, and deconstruct it while playing through it, so that I can better outline why I feel like it doesn’t fit in the Paper Mario lineup and was generally a totally unrelated game. However, today I want to link you to someone else’s article, located on the Escapist. The article is about the ability to skip gameplay sections in games in order to get to the plot. In most games, you can already skip the plot to get to the gameplay, so I don’t think it is a bad idea. The writer, Shamus, is a blogger that I pay attention to, because he’s smart and makes good points. Anyways, I wouldn’t be able to express the idea better than him, so go ahead and take that link if you want to read something interesting. I’ll start my SPM playthrough on Wednesday.

Diseases & Evolution: Polio | Love and Fearless « The Odds in the World Diseases & Evolution: Polio This blog is about whether we can completely cure diseases, or do they evolve into some other disease in the human body and Nature. Earlier there were are a lot of body diseases like polio and more, which have been completely eradicated. The eradication would be due to several reasons: 1. Humans have completely captured Earth’s Nature, and hence have very less physical dependence on it. 2. Humans are taking much less physical risk. 3. Human body itself is getting fickle, which encourages the mind to do less physical activity. 4. These diseases have been solved by giving short stabs of energy, hence they might have withdrawn into the inner recess of human body or brain and are likely to return as Nature deteriorates. However, it might be possible these diseases have evolved into the brain. Hence, most diseases in body will evolve into the brain or get more complex (Autism). They will cause diseases like Schizophrenia, Alzheimer and migraines. So it is true we as humans have eradicated diseases like polio, but it might be also possible these diseases have got smarter and evolved into the brain.

The Highway To Al-Jannah. « Muslimah The Highway To Al-Jannah. Take Adam and Eve Avenue until you come to the intersection of Habil road, and Qabil street, merge right on Habil and continue for the next twenty miles till you come to Noah’s Ferry. Take the ferry to Safety Land, ignore the majority of other travel agencies’ directions, and arrive at Ebrahim’s Super Highway also known as High way One Allah Only (1). Follow Ebrahim but avoid the exit of Sodom and Gomorrah townships until you get to Moosa lane but pass Gold and Greed bridges and take it to Isa’s Mercy road. Here you will encounter a lot of confusion, streets are not well marked, and many peddlers along the road are giving away maps with conflicting directions to travellers. The Romans have renamed Pagans’ path as Isa’s mercy road. If you are not sure about the authenticity of Isa’s mercy road, review your map. See if Isa’s mercy path is a continuation of Ebrahim’s Super Highway. If it is a continuation you are fine, but still proceed with caution. If you have diverged, make a U-turn and go back to Ebrahim’s high way (1) and re-try again. Continue on True Isa’s road, if you do not see the following signs along the path, you should stop and review your map again. Maps for this path have been tampered with, we recommend the Barnabas edition street map to get to the Unity of God congregation, Immaculate Conception corner, and Love thy neighbour community centre. Avoid showing the Roman Traffic police your Barnabas street map, it is banned, they will confiscate it and you will be forced to use the only authorized official map – the Paul street map which was drawn to direct the motorists to Rome. For that reason there is a lot of lost traffic on this road. On the other hand True Isa road is found on the Barnabas street map, but only few people have access to this map. Keep on Isa’s Mercy road until you find Muhammad’s (SAW) Sunnah Expressway. Stay on this expressway and do not be lured to rest areas along the expressway. Beware of the highway robbers, by insuring your vehicle with Dhikr security systems. All vehicles secured with Dhikr Security Systems will be protected from assaults by robbers (Shaytaan). Make sure that you have enough fuel. The highest grade fuel for this long and tiring trip is the Taqwa grade fuel. Make sure you demand this brand when you stop for refuelling. Lighten the load on your vehicle, carry only the most important items for this trip: two meters of white cloth, good deeds and prayers of your kids is all you need. Excess weight is allowed only if it is more of the above. Other items will only slow you down or cause you to lose sight of where you are heading, and you risk losing the coverage of Dhikr Security systems, thereby becoming an easy target for the Robbers. You need to check your vehicles safety features periodically by reading your vehicles manual – the Holy Quran. Your steering wheel must be calibrated by the Sunnah Calibration method, batteries must be charged with Imaan, the engine needs to be tuned up with Ikhlas and your tires must be properly inflated with Ihsan. Most important of all, you must test the entire vehicle with the tawheed check list. There are many milestones on Muhammad’s road, and these milestones will assure you that you are on the right track. Do not worry that there are not any people on this road; just because you are alone on this road do not think that you are driving the wrong way on a one way street. Loving Allah more than anything else, loving the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and his companions, who supported him when he was oppressed, following all his teachings, responding with patience and acceptance to lack of worldly goods, hunger, loss of family members are but some of the milestones and glad tidings that you are on the right track.

Got Cake?: August 2012 honey custard. Folks. I wrote one complete blogpost. All it needed was pictures, BUT it didn't feel right. So I deleted it and wrote another one. But the second one felt less right than the first, so I tried "command z"-ing my way to the first version. I didn't think it would work, because each "command z" only deleted one word. However, it seemed to be working! I had hope! But there's no happy ending to this story. Command z failed me. It stopped working when there were less than 10 words left of the second version. Victory was so close .. but alas, command z has limits. That's the moral of the story, guys. I'm too tired to offer much more than that. Besides these delicate honey custards, that is. toasted marshmallow squares. Hey guys ... I'm forcing myself to break away from buffers, muscle contraction, and fluids momentarily to bring you these delicious squares I recently made. I needed to bake. You know that point when food becomes an emergency more than a want? Yeah. I needed to bake today, or else I don't even know. I'm planning on doing crazy, outrageous things after my MCAT .. like shopping. Responding to my friend's texts. Talking to my parents. Baking something interesting. And maybe, just maybe, getting my nails done. Still Hungry?

Just a quick before I descend in the depths of Hades - work. Had a very restless night didn't sleep very well as couldn't get comfy in bed, and probably because I worry that I won't get up in time to get up for work. Its a cold grey morning here at the moment definitely jumper weather - and the cat is refusing to get out of bed! Normally he is swearing like anything at me to let him out - this morning will he budge not on your nelly. Looks like he is staying in then. I have washed my hair this morning and although towel dry I can feel it damp against my face as I am trying to quickly type this before walking to work. (excuse the typos - am doing this in braille as I haven't got my glasses on and I cannot locate them at the moment. Have to be in at 9.00 a.m. and all set up and there is a half finished bowl of cereal that I am working on as well. I do pick my mornings to walk to work - have sciatica down both my legs this morning - probably as a result of over-exertions yesterday. But this is how it goes with me I am either all or nothing - and when I have no energy I have to rest. Well think of my whilst I am in the pit of Hades and I hope you all have a lovely day - deeply green here for those of you who don't have to work. Happy playing time catch you later.

Thanks for the tip. Sometimes chintz and bridal shower can be just right, especially when it comes to afternoon tea! Marilyn October 26, 2014 at 10:54 PM The green tea with Moroccan mint sound totally delicious. I would go there for that calming cup often. How nice to have special place to go for a good cup of tea.

I love a good cup of tea and all the warmth it brings, Gigi Thibodeau October 27, 2014 at 11:11 AM You and me both, Betty! Thanks for stopping by. :)

This Joy Filled Life: December 2010 Ok, this is it!! well Christmas is over, and what a merry one this was! We finally were able to share our great news with family (and now friends) and i feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders! ahhhh... sigh.... ahhh... its good to not have to lie about my thickening belly and fake drinking alcohol to avoid any weird looks or questions. WE'RE HAVING A BABY! there. now that thats done, i will get into what else is going on. i've been feeling great these last couple weeks. i will be 14 weeks on tuesday, and i think morning sickness has all but left me. (there are still a few pesky food aversions, but i can deal with that as long as i don't feel like i need to barf at any moment.) my stomach had been growing a little bit, and from the pictures i've taken every week since we found out, i can definitely tell.. although most probably could not. some of our aunts told me "oh i can totally tell, i knew it the moment i saw you.." and although i sort of like this, because they now know, i feel a little bit weird about people commenting on the size of my belly. like i said, i dont think most could tell just by looking at me, so the fact that they say they can tell makes me think that, well i dont know, i was just bigger than last time they saw me and they might think that even if i wasn't prego... i am probably just being weird. and emotional. ohhh the emotions! i swear nick is walking on eggshells. he is so afraid something will set me off and i will start bawling for no reason. its probably best he is concerned, because literally anything can set me off these days. i started crying in the car the other day listening to a song about a dog buried under a tree. (side note: why would anyone write that into a song?? it is SAD!!) so i cried all the way home. also, when my parents told me they didn't want us to bring my dog to christmas i started crying. uncontrollably. i had to get off the phone. then i called nick and ugly cried about it. i really am a serious piece of work. i guess this all comes with the territory, so nick and myself had better get used to it... i guess i'd say its worth it :) 12 weeks (almost) so today is sunday and on tuesday i will be 12 weeks! that is a big milestone, and the risk of miscarriage is far less after this point. I have my 12 week appointment on friday, and hopefully the doc says everything is a-ok. i am feeling truckloads better than the last post. my non-barfing-but-still-sicker-than-a-dog morning sickness seems to be ebbing away and i am able to think of most foods without wanting to ralph (this however, does not include chicken, which still makes me nauseous just thinking about it). i am a little bit less tired than i have been, although because this is sunday and i don't have a whole lot to do, i plan on taking a nap in the near future. we are getting very excited to tell everyone our big news. we plan on telling our extended family on christmas and then from there we will tell everyone else. i really am dying to tell people. i want to shout it out. whoever's idea this was to wait so long must have been a loonie... oh wait, i think that was me. but now when i mention maybe telling sooner nick automatically says no. sigh... ok, two more weeks. i can do it!!!

The Wild Reed: Obama at Notre Dame With President Obama set to give the commencement speech at the University of Notre Dame this afternoon amidst protests by some Catholics, I offer the following links to some interesting and insightful articles and commentaries.Vatican Silent on Obama Speech – United Press International (May 16, 2009).Who Is a Real Catholic? – David Gibson (Washington Post, May 17, 2009).Notre Dame Valedictorian: Obama Practices Catholic Values - Katherine Zaleski (Huffington Post, May 15, 2009).Church and State; Obama and Notre Dame – Matthew V.

Sunday, May 17, 2009. (AP Photo/Gerald Herbert)Update 2: Following are excerpts from President Obama’s speech today at Notre Dame. (For the full transcript, click here.). . . The question, then, is how do we work through [the] conflicts [we face]? Is it possible for us to join hands in common effort? As citizens of a vibrant and varied democracy, how do we engage in vigorous debate? How does each of us remain firm in our principles, and fight for what we consider right, without demonizing those with just as strongly held convictions on the other side?Nowhere do these questions come up more powerfully than on the issue of abortion.As I considered the controversy surrounding my visit here, I was reminded of an encounter I had during my Senate campaign, one that I describe in a book I wrote called The Audacity of Hope. A few days after I won the Democratic nomination, I received an email from a doctor who told me that while he voted for me in the primary, he had a serious concern that might prevent him from voting for me in the general election. He described himself as a Christian who was strongly pro-life, but that’s not what was preventing him from voting for me.What bothered the doctor was an entry that my campaign staff had posted on my website – an entry that said I would fight “right-wing ideologues who want to take away a woman’s right to choose.” The doctor said that he had assumed I was a reasonable person, but that if I truly believed that every pro-life individual was simply an ideologue who wanted to inflict suffering on women, then I was not very reasonable. He wrote, “I do not ask at this point that you oppose abortion, only that you speak about this issue in fair-minded words.”Fair-minded words.After I read the doctor’s letter, I wrote back to him and thanked him. I didn’t change my position, but I did tell my staff to change the words on my website. And I said a prayer that night that I might extend the same presumption of good faith to others that the doctor had extended to me. Because when we do that – when we open our hearts and our minds to those who may not think like we do or believe what we do – that’s when we discover at least the possibility of common ground.That’s when we begin to say, “Maybe we won’t agree on abortion, but we can still agree that this is a heart-wrenching decision for any woman to make, with both moral and spiritual dimensions.So let’s work together to reduce the number of women seeking abortions by reducing unintended pregnancies, and making adoption more available, and providing care and support for women who do carry their child to term. Let’s honor the conscience of those who disagree with abortion, and draft a sensible conscience clause, and make sure that all of our health care policies are grounded in clear ethics and sound science, as well as respect for the equality of women.Understand – I do not suggest that the debate surrounding abortion can or should go away. No matter how much we may want to fudge it – indeed, while we know that the views of most Americans on the subject are complex and even contradictory – the fact is that at some level, the views of the two camps are irreconcilable. Each side will continue to make its case to the public with passion and conviction. But surely we can do so without reducing those with differing views to caricature.Open hearts. Open minds. Fair-minded words.It’s a way of life that has always been the Notre Dame tradition. Father Hesburgh has long spoken of this institution as both a lighthouse and a crossroads. The lighthouse that stands apart, shining with the wisdom of the Catholic tradition, while the crossroads is where “differences of culture and religion and conviction can co-exist with friendship, civility, hospitality, and especially love.” And I want to join him and Father Jenkins in saying how inspired I am by the maturity and responsibility with which this class has approached the debate surrounding today’s ceremony.This tradition of cooperation and understanding is one that I learned in my own life many years ago – also with the help of the Catholic Church. . . .[R]emember . . . that the ultimate irony of faith is that it necessarily admits doubt. It is the belief in things not seen. It is beyond our capacity as human beings to know with certainty what God has planned for us or what He asks of us, and those of us who believe must trust that His wisdom is greater than our own.This doubt should not push us away from our faith. But it should humble us. It should temper our passions, and cause us to be wary of self-righteousness. It should compel us to remain open, and curious, and eager to continue the moral and spiritual debate that began for so many of you within the walls of Notre Dame. And within our vast democracy, this doubt should remind us to persuade through reason, through an appeal whenever we can to universal rather than parochial principles, and most of all through an abiding example of good works, charity, kindness, and service that moves hearts and minds.For if there is one law that we can be most certain of, it is the law that binds people of all faiths and no faith together. It is no coincidence that it exists in Christianity and Judaism; in Islam and Hinduism; in Buddhism and humanism. It is, of course, the Golden Rule - the call to treat one another as we wish to be treated. The call to love. To serve. To do what we can to make a difference in the lives of those with whom we share the same brief moment on this Earth....Update 3: Recommended commentaries on Obama at Notre Dame.Mr. Obama Shines at Notre Dame: Disparate Reflections on the Commencement Address and the Occasion - William D.

It was so touching to me when the President referenced gay rights in his speech, although it wasn't particularly signifigant, he showed that it is on his mind and of concern. So he hasn't dismissed it, as some fatalistic, pessimistic, individiuals within the homosexual community perceive. But what a beautiful day for our Church and our country! =D I thought it was a pretty good speech :) What a proud and joyous day for Notre Dame. This is the true face of American Catholicism, deo gratias.

December | 2015 | SA1969 Blog In 2013 Southern Accents founded a non-profit organization, SA3:23. The SA stands for Salvage Assurance and the 3:23 is based on Colossians 3:23 which is the core of our mission statement: “Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men.” Our main project for the past few years has been to play Santa for a group of around 100 underprivileged children in our community. We deliver wrapped toys, goodie bags, cookies, snacks and supplies for their Christmas party. Our budget for this project is approximately $1,500.

Isa Creative Musings: Valentine Boxes with Chocolates Inside Flickr Saturday, February 12, 2011 Last night my friend Amy and I had craft night! First, we started by celebrating her belated birthday (her birthday was in January) with dinner at a Mexican Restaurant. After dinner, we went back to my house and spend the rest of the evening in my craft room (till after midnight!). Amy worked on scrapbook pages while I created some paper crafts. Since Monday is Valentine's Day, I decided to create some special boxes for Alex's teachers (he is in 1st grade). With the exception of the ribbon and paper heart doily, all the materials are from K&Company. It's the Kelly Panacci Valentine line. It was so much fun to work on these boxes, especially since I used Martha Stewart's scoring board. It's a wonderful tool. I wrapped Hershey's Nugget chocolates with scrapbook paper... so when you open the box it's rather festive. I cut a 12 x 12 sheet into 6 x 6. This resulted in the box size of 4 x 4 x 1. My favorite part last night was spending quality time with my friend Amy. I love spending time with my friends. My friend Lisa's birthday will be in a week and we have fun birthday plans. Our daughter's, Laura (13) and Sophie(14) will be joining us for dinner and a movie. I love to celebrate my friends birthdays! Posted by

Spinach | Popeye the Sailorpedia | FANDOM powered by Wikia Food Spinach Spinach is a leafy vegetable with a high vitamin content, making it a healthy and nutritious food for human consumption. In most media featuring Popeye it is used as a last-minute device in which the hero, in danger, pulls out a can of spinach from his shirt or otherwise acquires the vegetable and eats it. This gives his already formidable strength a greater increase, helping him withstand his enemies' attacks and all kinds of adverse situations. Popeye is not the only character in the franchise to eat spinach; other characters have consumed it as well. For cases involving female antagonists such as the Sea Hag, since Popeye cannot clobber women, it is Olive Oyl who ingests the vegetable in order to defeat the villainess. In the theatrical shorts Hospitaliky, its color remake For Better or Nurse and Beaus Will Be Beaus, Popeye force-feeds Bluto spinach. At least in the animated cartoons, everybody would gain a surge of power comparable to Popeye's.

With a focus on culture and group identity. Chronicling a slowly developing dictatorship Posted by John J. Ray (M.A.; Ph.D.) Saturday, June 06, 2009 But Lord Tebbit's scepticism over sharia law was backed by UKIP peer Lord Pearson of Rannoch, who called on the Government for 'a clear assurance that sharia law will never be allowed to take precedence over British law.' Lord Bach admitted a problem 'undoubtedly exists' over the treatment of women in sharia courts. But he added: 'The fact is that any decision made by anybody that is outside English law cannot stand against English law. If consent is sought, for example, for some issue around children or to do with family assets, then the English courts decide. 'Other councils - not courts - can, if the parties want to make that agreement, make that agreement and that applies across the board. But always behind that is the fact that those agreements can't be enforced except by an English court.' No such luck for me. In the early years of my career, the first question each of my editors asked me was how I'd done at Cambridge. I just had to blush and come clean. The shame of it! Oh, well, like my father, I got my just deserts. The Cambridge authorities should take a leaf from the great Mr Jaggard's book. They should sing the praises of the gentlemen and scholars, as their predecessors have done for 300 years. And, they should stop being afraid to call a prat a prat!

Andy Sherpa: The Best Time of the Year Posted by SLC sherpa at 9:44 AM Seth December 17, 2014 at 11:01 PM Hi Andy. I saw awhile back that you demoed the F1 Evo, what are your thoughts? I'm looking for a lighter upgrade from my original Maestrale. I'm not a racer, just looking for a lighter, more articulating boot that has good ski performance. My main concern with the F1 Evo is heel retention…without that buckle/strap across the ankle joint I'm a little concerned. Thanks. swain December 31, 2014 at 7:26 AM Where are 'dem powder skiing photos?

Some people have objected to a frivolity of tone; but as the tone is not, in my opinion, at all frivolous, this objection did not impress me; and had no weightier reproach been put forward I might almost have been persuaded that the volume was flawless! A more serious stricture has, however, been offered−−not in the press, but by sundry obviously sincere correspondents−−and I must deal with it. A reference to page 43 will show that I anticipated and feared this disapprobation. The sentence against which protests have been made is as follows:−− "In the majority of instances he [the typical man] does not precisely feel a passion for his business; at best he does not dislike it. He begins his business functions with some reluctance, as late as he can, and he ends them with joy, as early as he can. And his engines, while he is engaged in his business, are seldom at their full 'h.p.'" I am assured, in accents of unmistakable sincerity, that there are many business men−−not merely those in high positions or with fine prospects, but modest subordinates with no hope of ever being much better off−−who do enjoy their business functions, who do not shirk them, who do not arrive at the office as late as possible and depart as early as possible, who, in a word, put the whole of their force into their day's work and are genuinely fatigued at the end thereof. How to Live on Twenty−Four Hours a Day I am ready to believe it. I do believe it. I know it. I always knew it. Both in London and in the provinces it has been my lot to spend long years in subordinate situations of business; and the fact did not escape me that a certain proportion of my peers showed what amounted to an honest passion for their duties, and that while engaged in those duties they were really *living* to the fullest extent of which they were capable. But I remain convinced that these fortunate and happy individuals (happier perhaps than they guessed) did not and do not constitute a majority, or anything like a majority. I remain convinced that the majority of decent average conscientious men of business (men with aspirations and ideals) do not as a rule go home of a night genuinely tired. I remain convinced that they put not as much but as little of themselves as they conscientiously can into the earning of a livelihood, and that their vocation bores rather than interests them. Nevertheless, I admit that the minority is of sufficient importance to merit attention, and that I ought not to have ignored it so completely as I did do. The whole difficulty of the hard−working minority was put in a single colloquial sentence by one of my correspondents. He wrote: "I am just as keen as anyone on doing something to 'exceed my programme,' but allow me to tell you that when I get home at six thirty p.m. I am not anything like so fresh as you seem to imagine." Now I must point out that the case of the minority, who throw themselves with passion and gusto into their daily business task, is infinitely less deplorable than the case of the majority, who go half−heartedly and feebly through their official day. The former are less in need of advice "how to live." At any rate during their official day of, say, eight hours they are really alive; their engines are giving the full indicated "h.p." The other eight working hours of their day may be badly organised, or even frittered away; but it is less disastrous to waste eight hours a day than sixteen hours a day; it is better to have lived a bit than never to have lived at all. The real tragedy is the tragedy of the man who is braced to effort neither in the office nor out of it, and to this man this book is primarily addressed. "But," says the other and more fortunate man, "although my ordinary programme is bigger than his, I want to exceed my programme too! I am living a bit; I want to live more. But I really can't do another day's work on the top of my official day." The fact is, I, the author, ought to have foreseen that I should appeal most strongly to those who already had an interest in existence. It is always the man who has tasted life who demands more of it. And it is always the man who never gets out of bed who is the most difficult to rouse. Well, you of the minority, let us assume that the intensity of your daily money−getting will not allow you to carry out quite all the suggestions in the following pages. Some of the suggestions may yet stand. I admit that you may not be able to use the time spent on the journey home at night; but the suggestion for the journey to the office in the morning is as practicable for you as for anybody. And that weekly interval of forty hours, from Saturday to Monday, is yours just as much as the other man's, though a slight accumulation of fatigue may prevent you from employing the whole of your "h.p." upon it. There remains, then, the important portion of the three or more evenings a week. You tell me flatly that you are too tired to do anything outside your programme at night. In reply to which I tell you flatly that if your ordinary day's work is thus exhausting, then the balance of your life is wrong and must be adjusted. A man's powers ought not to be monopolised by his ordinary day's work. What, then, is to be done? The obvious thing to do is to circumvent your ardour for your ordinary day's work by a ruse. Employ your engines in something beyond the programme before, and not after, you employ them on the programme itself. Briefly, get up earlier in the morning. You say you cannot. You say it is impossible for you to go earlier to bed of a night−−to do so would upset the entire household. I do not think it is quite impossible to go to bed earlier at night. I think that if you persist in rising earlier, and the consequence is insufficiency of sleep, you will soon find a way of going to bed earlier. But my impression is that the consequences of rising earlier will not be an insufficiency of sleep. My impression, growing stronger every year, is that sleep is partly a matter of habit−−and of slackness. I am convinced that most people sleep as long as they do because they are at a loss for any other diversion. How much sleep do you think is daily obtained by the powerful healthy man How to Live on Twenty−Four Hours a Day 2 How to Live on Twenty−Four Hours a Day who daily rattles up your street in charge of Carter Patterson's van? I have consulted a doctor on this point. He is a doctor who for twenty−four years has had a large general practice in a large flourishing suburb of London, inhabited by exactly such people as you and me. He is a curt man, and his answer was curt: "Most people sleep themselves stupid." He went on to give his opinion that nine men out of ten would have better health and more fun out of life if they spent less time in bed. Other doctors have confirmed this judgment, which, of course, does not apply to growing youths. Rise an hour, an hour and a half, or even two hours earlier; and−−if you must−−retire earlier when you can. In the matter of exceeding programmes, you will accomplish as much in one morning hour as in two evening hours. "But," you say, "I couldn't begin without some food, and servants." Surely, my dear sir, in an age when an excellent spirit−lamp (including a saucepan) can be bought for less than a shilling, you are not going to allow your highest welfare to depend upon the precarious immediate co−operation of a fellow creature! Instruct the fellow creature, whoever she may be, at night. Tell her to put a tray in a suitable position over night. On that tray two biscuits, a cup and saucer, a box of matches and a spirit−lamp; on the lamp, the saucepan; on the saucepan, the lid−− but turned the wrong way up; on the reversed lid, the small teapot, containing a minute quantity of tea leaves. You will then have to strike a match−−that is all. In three minutes the water boils, and you pour it into the teapot (which is already warm). In three more minutes the tea is infused. You can begin your day while drinking it. These details may seem trivial to the foolish, but to the thoughtful they will not seem trivial. The proper, wise balancing of one's whole life may depend upon the feasibility of a cup of tea at an unusual hour. A. B. "Yes, he's one of those men that don't know how to manage. Good situation. Regular income. Quite enough for luxuries as well as needs. Not really extravagant. And yet the fellow's always in difficulties. Somehow he gets nothing out of his money. Excellent flat−−half empty! Always looks as if he'd had the brokers in. New suit−−old hat! Magnificent necktie−−baggy trousers! Asks you to dinner: cut glass−−bad mutton, or Turkish coffee−−cracked cup! He can't understand it. Explanation simply is that he fritters his income away. Wish I had the half of it! I'd show him−−" So we have most of us criticised, at one time or another, in our superior way. We are nearly all chancellors of the exchequer: it is the pride of the moment. Newspapers are full of articles explaining how to live on such−and−such a sum, and these articles provoke a correspondence whose violence proves the interest they excite. Recently, in a daily organ, a battle raged round the question whether a woman can exist nicely in the country on L85 a year. I have seen an essay, "How to live on eight shillings a week." But I have never seen an essay, "How to live on twenty−four hours a day." Yet it has been said that time is money. That proverb understates the case. Time is a great deal more than money. If you have time you can obtain money−−usually. But though you have the wealth of a cloak−room attendant at the Carlton Hotel, you cannot buy yourself a minute more time than I have, or the cat by the fire has. How to Live on Twenty−Four Hours a Day Philosophers have explained space. They have not explained time. It is the inexplicable raw material of everything. With it, all is possible; without it, nothing. The supply of time is truly a daily miracle, an affair genuinely astonishing when one examines it. You wake up in the morning, and lo! your purse is magically filled with twenty−four hours of the unmanufactured tissue of the universe of your life! It is yours. It is the most precious of possessions. A highly singular commodity, showered upon you in a manner as singular as the commodity itself! For remark! No one can take it from you. It is unstealable. And no one receives either more or less than you receive. Talk about an ideal democracy! In the realm of time there is no aristocracy of wealth, and no aristocracy of intellect. Genius is never rewarded by even an extra hour a day. And there is no punishment. Waste your infinitely precious commodity as much as you will, and the supply will never be withheld from you. Mo mysterious power will say:−−"This man is a fool, if not a knave. He does not deserve time; he shall be cut off at the meter." It is more certain than consols, and payment of income is not affected by Sundays. Moreover, you cannot draw on the future. Impossible to get into debt! You can only waste the passing moment. You cannot waste to− morrow; it is kept for you. You cannot waste the next hour; it is kept for you. I said the affair was a miracle. Is it not? You have to live on this twenty−four hours of daily time. Out of it you have to spin health, pleasure, money, content, respect, and the evolution of your immortal soul. Its right use, its most effective use, is a matter of the highest urgency and of the most thrilling actuality. All depends on that. Your happiness−−the elusive prize that you are all clutching for, my friends!−− depends on that. Strange that the newspapers, so enterprising and up−to− date as they are, are not full of "How to live on a given income of time," instead of "How to live on a given income of money"! Money is far commoner than time. When one reflects, one perceives that money is just about the commonest thing there is. It encumbers the earth in gross heaps. If one can't contrive to live on a certain income of money, one earns a little more−−or steals it, or advertises for it. One doesn't necessarily muddle one's life because one can't quite manage on a thousand pounds a year; one braces the muscles and makes it guineas, and balances the budget. But if one cannot arrange that an income of twenty−four hours a day shall exactly cover all proper items of expenditure, one does muddle one's life definitely. The supply of time, though gloriously regular, is cruelly restricted. Which of us lives on twenty−four hours a day? And when I say "lives," I do not mean exists, nor "muddles through." Which of us is free from that uneasy feeling that the "great spending departments" of his daily life are not managed as they ought to be? Which of us is quite sure that his fine suit is not surmounted by a shameful hat, or that in attending to the crockery he has forgotten the quality of the food? Which of us is not saying to himself−−which of us has not been saying to himself all his life: "I shall alter that when I have a little more time"? We never shall have any more time. We have, and we have always had, all the time there is. It is the realisation of this profound and neglected truth (which, by the way, I have not discovered) that has led me to the minute practical examination of daily time−expenditure. "But," someone may remark, with the English disregard of everything except the point, "what is he driving at with his twenty−four hours a day? I have no difficulty in living on twenty−four hours a day. I do all that I want to do, and still find time to go in for newspaper competitions. Surely it is a simple affair, knowing that one has only twenty−four hours a day, to content one's self with twenty−four hours a day!" To you, my dear sir, I present my excuses and apologies. You are precisely the man that I have been wishing to meet for about forty years. Will you kindly send me your name and address, and state your charge for telling me how you do it? Instead of me talking to you, you ought to be talking to me. Please come forward. That you exist, I am convinced, and that I have not yet encountered you is my loss. Meanwhile, until you appear, I will continue to chat with my companions in distress−−that innumerable band of souls who are haunted, more or less painfully, by the feeling that the years slip by, and slip by, and slip by, and that they have not yet been able to get their lives into proper working order. If we analyse that feeling, we shall perceive it to be, primarily, one of uneasiness, of expectation, of looking forward, of aspiration. It is a source of constant discomfort, for it behaves like a skeleton at the feast of all our enjoyments. We go to the theatre and laugh; but between the acts it raises a skinny finger at us. We rush violently for the last train, and while we are cooling a long age on the platform waiting for the last train, it promenades its bones up and down by our side and inquires: "O man, what hast thou done with thy youth? What art thou doing with thine age?" You may urge that this feeling of continuous looking forward, of aspiration, is part of life itself, and inseparable from life itself. True! But there are degrees. A man may desire to go to Mecca. His conscience tells him that he ought to go to Mecca. He fares forth, either by the aid of Cook's, or unassisted; he may probably never reach Mecca; he may drown before he gets to Port Said; he may perish ingloriously on the coast of the Red Sea; his desire may remain eternally frustrate. Unfulfilled aspiration may always trouble him. But he will not be tormented in the same way as the man who, desiring to reach Mecca, and harried by the desire to reach Mecca, never leaves Brixton. It is something to have left Brixton. Most of us have not left Brixton. We have not even taken a cab to Ludgate Circus and inquired from Cook's the price of a conducted tour. And our excuse to ourselves is that there are only twenty−four hours in the day. If we further analyse our vague, uneasy aspiration, we shall, I think, see that it springs from a fixed idea that we ought to do something in addition to those things which we are loyally and morally obliged to do. We are obliged, by various codes written and unwritten, to maintain ourselves and our families (if any) in health and comfort, to pay our debts, to save, to increase our prosperity by increasing our efficiency. A task sufficiently difficult! A task which very few of us achieve! A task often beyond our skill! yet, if we succeed in it, as we sometimes do, we are not satisfied; the skeleton is still with us. And even when we realise tat the task is beyond our skill, that our powers cannot cope with it, we feel that we should be less discontented if we gave to our powers, already overtaxed, something still further to do. And such is, indeed, the fact. The wish to accomplish something outside their formal programme is common to all men who in the course of evolution have risen past a certain level. Until an effort is made to satisfy that wish, the sense of uneasy waiting for something to start which has not started will remain to disturb the peace of the soul. That wish has been called by many names. It is one form of the universal desire for knowledge. And it is so strong that men whose whole lives have been given to the systematic acquirement of knowledge have been driven by it to overstep the limits of their programme in How to Live on Twenty−Four Hours a Day 5 How to Live on Twenty−Four Hours a Day search of still more knowledge. Even Herbert Spencer, in my opinion the greatest mind that ever lived, was often forced by it into agreeable little backwaters of inquiry. I imagine that in the majority of people who are conscious of the wish to live−−that is to say, people who have intellectual curiosity−−the aspiration to exceed formal programmes takes a literary shape. They would like to embark on a course of reading. Decidedly the British people are becoming more and more literary. But I would point out that literature by no means comprises the whole field of knowledge, and that the disturbing thirst to improve one's self−−to increase one's knowledge−−may well be slaked quite apart from literature. With the various ways of slaking I shall deal later. Here I merely point out to those who have no natural sympathy with literature that literature is not the only well. Now that I have succeeded (if succeeded I have) in persuading you to admit to yourself that you are constantly haunted by a suppressed dissatisfaction with your own arrangement of your daily life; and that the primal cause of that inconvenient dissatisfaction is the feeling that you are every day leaving undone something which you would like to do, and which, indeed, you are always hoping to do when you have "more time"; and now that I have drawn your attention to the glaring, dazzling truth that you never will have "more time," since you already have all the time there is−−you expect me to let you into some wonderful secret by which you may at any rate approach the ideal of a perfect arrangement of the day, and by which, therefore, that haunting, unpleasant, daily disappointment of things left undone will be got rid of! I have found no such wonderful secret. Nor do I expect to find it, nor do I expect that anyone else will ever find it. It is undiscovered. When you first began to gather my drift, perhaps there was a resurrection of hope in your breast. Perhaps you said to yourself, "This man will show me an easy, unfatiguing way of doing what I have so long in vain wished to do." Alas, no! The fact is that there is no easy way, no royal road. The path to Mecca is extremely hard and stony, and the worst of it is that you never quite get there after all. The most important preliminary to the task of arranging one's life so that one may live fully and comfortably within one's daily budget of twenty− four hours is the calm realisation of the extreme difficulty of the task, of the sacrifices and the endless effort which it demands. I cannot too strongly insist on this. If you imagine that you will be able to achieve your ideal by ingeniously planning out a time−table with a pen on a piece of paper, you had better give up hope at once. If you are not prepared for discouragements and disillusions; if you will not be content with a small result for a big effort, then do not begin. Lie down again and resume the uneasy doze which you call your existence. It is very sad, is it not, very depressing and sombre? And yet I think it is rather fine, too, this necessity for the tense bracing of the will before anything worth doing can be done. I rather like it myself. I feel it to be the chief thing that differentiates me from the cat by the fire. "Well," you say, "assume that I am braced for the battle. Assume that I have carefully weighed and comprehended your ponderous remarks; how do I begin?" Dear sir, you simply begin. There is no magic method of beginning. If a man standing on the edge of a swimming−bath and wanting to jump into the cold water should ask you, "How do I begin to jump?" you would merely reply, "Just jump. Take hold of your nerves, and jump." As I have previously said, the chief beauty about the constant supply of time is that you cannot waste it in advance. The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you, as perfect, as unspoilt, as if you How to Live on Twenty−Four Hours a Day 6 How to Live on Twenty−Four Hours a Day had never wasted or misapplied a single moment in all your career. Which fact is very gratifying and reassuring. You can turn over a new leaf every hour if you choose. Therefore no object is served in waiting till next week, or even until to−morrow. You may fancy that the water will be warmer next week. It won't. It will be colder. But before you begin, let me murmur a few words of warning in your private ear. Let me principally warn you against your own ardour. Ardour in well−doing is a misleading and a treacherous thing. It cries out loudly for employment; you can't satisfy it at first; it wants more and more; it is eager to move mountains and divert the course of rivers. It isn't content till it perspires. And then, too often, when it feels the perspiration on its brow, it wearies all of a sudden and dies, without even putting itself to the trouble of saying, "I've had enough of this." Beware of undertaking too much at the start. Be content with quite a little. Allow for accidents. Allow for human nature, especially your own. A failure or so, in itself, would not matter, if it did not incur a loss of self− esteem and of self−confidence. But just as nothing succeeds like success, so nothing fails like failure. Most people who are ruined are ruined by attempting too much. Therefore, in setting out on the immense enterprise of living fully and comfortably within the narrow limits of twenty−four hours a day, let us avoid at any cost the risk of an early failure. I will not agree that, in this business at any rate, a glorious failure is better than a petty success. I am all for the petty success. A glorious failure leads to nothing; a petty success may lead to a success that is not petty. So let us begin to examine the budget of the day's time. You say your day is already full to overflowing. How? You actually spend in earning your livelihood−−how much? Seven hours, on the average? And in actual sleep, seven? I will add two hours, and be generous. And I will defy you to account to me on the spur of the moment for the other eight hours. IV. THE CAUSE OF THE TROUBLES In order to come to grips at once with the question of time−expenditure in all its actuality, I must choose an individual case for examination. I can only deal with one case, and that case cannot be the average case, because there is no such case as the average case, just as there is no such man as the average man. Every man and every man's case is special. But if I take the case of a Londoner who works in an office, whose office hours are from ten to six, and who spends fifty minutes morning and night in travelling between his house door and his office door, I shall have got as near to the average as facts permit. There are men who have to work longer for a living, but there are others who do not have to work so long. Fortunately the financial side of existence does not interest us here; for our present purpose the clerk at a pound a week is exactly as well off as the millionaire in Carlton House−terrace. Now the great and profound mistake which my typical man makes in regard to his day is a mistake of general attitude, a mistake which vitiates and weakens two−thirds of his energies and interests. In the majority of instances he does not precisely feel a passion for his business; at best he does not dislike it. He begins his business functions with reluctance, as late as he can, and he ends them with joy, as early as he can. And his engines while he is engaged in his business are seldom at their full "h.p." (I know that I shall be accused by How to Live on Twenty−Four Hours a Day 7 How to Live on Twenty−Four Hours a Day angry readers of traducing the city worker; but I am pretty thoroughly acquainted with the City, and I stick to what I say.) Yet in spite of all this he persists in looking upon those hours from ten to six as "the day," to which the ten hours preceding them and the six hours following them are nothing but a prologue and epilogue. Such an attitude, unconscious though it be, of course kills his interest in the odd sixteen hours, with the result that, even if he does not waste them, he does not count them; he regards them simply as margin. This general attitude is utterly illogical and unhealthy, since it formally gives the central prominence to a patch of time and a bunch of activities which the man's one idea is to "get through" and have "done with." If a man makes two−thirds of his existence subservient to one−third, for which admittedly he has no absolutely feverish zest, how can he hope to live fully and completely? He cannot. If my typical man wishes to live fully and completely he must, in his mind, arrange a day within a day. And this inner day, a Chinese box in a larger Chinese box, must begin at 6 p.m. and end at 10 a.m. It is a day of sixteen hours; and during all these sixteen hours he has nothing whatever to do but cultivate his body and his soul and his fellow men. During those sixteen hours he is free; he is not a wage−earner; he is not preoccupied with monetary cares; he is just as good as a man with a private income. This must be his attitude. And his attitude is all important. His success in life (much more important than the amount of estate upon what his executors will have to pay estate duty) depends on it. What? You say that full energy given to those sixteen hours will lessen the value of the business eight? Not so. On the contrary, it will assuredly increase the value of the business eight. One of the chief things which my typical man has to learn is that the mental faculties are capable of a continuous hard activity; they do not tire like an arm or a leg. All they want is change−−not rest, except in sleep. I shall now examine the typical man's current method of employing the sixteen hours that are entirely his, beginning with his uprising. I will merely indicate things which he does and which I think he ought not to do, postponing my suggestions for "planting" the times which I shall have cleared−−as a settler clears spaces in a forest. In justice to him I must say that he wastes very little time before he leaves the house in the morning at 9.10. In too many houses he gets up at nine, breakfasts between 9.7 and 9.9 1/2, and then bolts. But immediately he bangs the front door his mental faculties, which are tireless, become idle. He walks to the station in a condition of mental coma. Arrived there, he usually has to wait for the train. On hundreds of suburban stations every morning you see men calmly strolling up and down platforms while railway companies unblushingly rob them of time, which is more than money. Hundreds of thousands of hours are thus lost every day simply because my typical man thinks so little of time that it has never occurred to him to take quite easy precautions against the risk of its loss. He has a solid coin of time to spend every day−−call it a sovereign. He must get change for it, and in getting change he is content to lose heavily. Supposing that in selling him a ticket the company said, "We will change you a sovereign, but we shall charge you three halfpence for doing so," what would my typical man exclaim? Yet that is the equivalent of what the company does when it robs him of five minutes twice a day. You say I am dealing with minutiae. I am. And later on I will justify myself. How to Live on Twenty−Four Hours a Day Now will you kindly buy your paper and step into the train? You get into the morning train with your newspaper, and you calmly and majestically give yourself up to your newspaper. You do not hurry. You know you have at least half an hour of security in front of you. As your glance lingers idly at the advertisements of shipping and of songs on the outer pages, your air is the air of a leisured man, wealthy in time, of a man from some planet where there are a hundred and twenty−four hours a day instead of twenty−four. I am an impassioned reader of newspapers. I read five English and two French dailies, and the news−agents alone know how many weeklies, regularly. I am obliged to mention this personal fact lest I should be accused of a prejudice against newspapers when I say that I object to the reading of newspapers in the morning train. Newspapers are produced with rapidity, to be read with rapidity. There is no place in my daily programme for newspapers. I read them as I may in odd moments. But I do read them. The idea of devoting to them thirty or forty consecutive minutes of wonderful solitude (for nowhere can one more perfectly immerse one's self in one's self than in a compartment full of silent, withdrawn, smoking males) is to me repugnant. I cannot possibly allow you to scatter priceless pearls of time with such Oriental lavishness. You are not the Shah of time. Let me respectfully remind you that you have no more time than I have. No newspaper reading in trains! I have already "put by" about three−quarters of an hour for use. Now you reach your office. And I abandon you there till six o'clock. I am aware that you have nominally an hour (often in reality an hour and a half) in the midst of the day, less than half of which time is given to eating. But I will leave you all that to spend as you choose. You may read your newspapers then. I meet you again as you emerge from your office. You are pale and tired. At any rate, your wife says you are pale, and you give her to understand that you are tired. During the journey home you have been gradually working up the tired feeling. The tired feeling hangs heavy over the mighty suburbs of London like a virtuous and melancholy cloud, particularly in winter. You don't eat immediately on your arrival home. But in about an hour or so you feel as if you could sit up and take a little nourishment. And you do. Then you smoke, seriously; you see friends; you potter; you play cards; you flirt with a book; you note that old age is creeping on; you take a stroll; you caress the piano.... By Jove! a quarter past eleven. You then devote quite forty minutes to thinking about going to bed; and it is conceivable that you are acquainted with a genuinely good whisky. At last you go to bed, exhausted by the day's work. Six hours, probably more, have gone since you left the office−−gone like a dream, gone like magic, unaccountably gone! That is a fair sample case. But you say: "It's all very well for you to talk. A man *is* tired. A man must see his friends. He can't always be on the stretch." Just so. But when you arrange to go to the theatre (especially with a pretty woman) what happens? You rush to the suburbs; you spare no toil to make yourself glorious in fine raiment; you rush back to town in another train; you keep yourself on the stretch for four hours, if not five; you take her home; you take yourself home. You don't spend three−quarters of an hour in "thinking about" going to bed. You go. Friends and fatigue have equally been forgotten, and the evening has seemed so exquisitely long (or perhaps too short)! And do you remember that time when you were persuaded to sing in the chorus of the amateur operatic society, and slaved two hours every other night for three months? Can you deny that when you have something definite to look forward to at eventide, something that is to employ all your energy−−the thought of that something gives a glow and a more intense vitality to the whole day? What I suggest is that at six o'clock you look facts in the face and admit that you are not tired (because you are not, you know), and that you arrange your evening so that it is not cut in the middle by a meal. By so doing you will have a clear expanse of at least three hours. I do not suggest that you should employ three How to Live on Twenty−Four Hours a Day 9 How to Live on Twenty−Four Hours a Day hours every night of your life in using up your mental energy. But I do suggest that you might, for a commencement, employ an hour and a half every other evening in some important and consecutive cultivation of the mind. You will still be left with three evenings for friends, bridge, tennis, domestic scenes, odd reading, pipes, gardening, pottering, and prize competitions. You will still have the terrific wealth of forty−five hours between 2 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. Monday. If you persevere you will soon want to pass four evenings, and perhaps five, in some sustained endeavour to be genuinely alive. And you will fall out of that habit of muttering to yourself at 11.15 p.m., "Time to be thinking about going to bed." The man who begins to go to bed forty minutes before he opens his bedroom door is bored; that is to say, he is not living. But remember, at the start, those ninety nocturnal minutes thrice a week must be the most important minutes in the ten thousand and eighty. They must be sacred, quite as sacred as a dramatic rehearsal or a tennis match. Instead of saying, "Sorry I can't see you, old chap, but I have to run off to the tennis club," you must say, "...but I have to work." This, I admit, is intensely difficult to say. Tennis is so much more urgent than the immortal soul. I have incidentally mentioned the vast expanse of forty−four hours between leaving business at 2 p.m. on Saturday and returning to business at 10 a.m. on Monday. And here I must touch on the point whether the week should consist of six days or of seven. For many years−−in fact, until I was approaching forty−−my own week consisted of seven days. I was constantly being informed by older and wiser people that more work, more genuine living, could be got out of six days than out of seven. And it is certainly true that now, with one day in seven in which I follow no programme and make no effort save what the caprice of the moment dictates, I appreciate intensely the moral value of a weekly rest. Nevertheless, had I my life to arrange over again, I would do again as I have done. Only those who have lived at the full stretch seven days a week for a long time can appreciate the full beauty of a regular recurring idleness. Moreover, I am ageing. And it is a question of age. In cases of abounding youth and exceptional energy and desire for effort I should say unhesitatingly: Keep going, day in, day out. But in the average case I should say: Confine your formal programme (super−programme, I mean) to six days a week. If you find yourself wishing to extend it, extend it, but only in proportion to your wish; and count the time extra as a windfall, not as regular income, so that you can return to a six−day programme without the sensation of being poorer, of being a backslider. Let us now see where we stand. So far we have marked for saving out of the waste of days, half an hour at least on six mornings a week, and one hour and a half on three evenings a week. Total, seven hours and a half a week. I propose to be content with that seven hours and a half for the present. "What?" you cry. "You pretend to show us how to live, and you only deal with seven hours and a half out of a hundred and sixty−eight! Are you going to perform a miracle with your seven hours and a half?" Well, not to mince the matter, I am−−if you will kindly let me! That is to say, I am going to ask you to attempt an experience which, while perfectly natural and explicable, has all the air of a miracle. My contention is that the full use of those seven−and−a−half hours will quicken the whole life of the week, add zest to it, and increase the interest which you feel in even the most banal occupations. You practise physical exercises for a mere ten minutes morning and evening, and yet you are not astonished when your physical health and strength are beneficially affected every hour of the day, and your whole physical outlook changed. Why should you be astonished that How to Live on Twenty−Four Hours a Day 10 How to Live on Twenty−Four Hours a Day an average of over an hour a day given to the mind should permanently and completely enliven the whole activity of the mind? More time might assuredly be given to the cultivation of one's self. And in proportion as the time was longer the results would be greater. But I prefer to begin with what looks like a trifling effort. It is not really a trifling effort, as those will discover who have yet to essay it. To "clear" even seven hours and a half from the jungle is passably difficult. For some sacrifice has to be made. One may have spent one's time badly, but one did spend it; one did do something with it, however ill−advised that something may have been. To do something else means a change of habits. And habits are the very dickens to change! Further, any change, even a change for the better, is always accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts. If you imagine that you will be able to devote seven hours and a half a week to serious, continuous effort, and still live your old life, you are mistaken. I repeat that some sacrifice, and an immense deal of volition, will be necessary. And it is because I know the difficulty, it is because I know the almost disastrous effect of failure in such an enterprise, that I earnestly advise a very humble beginning. You must safeguard your self−respect. Self−respect is at the root of all purposefulness, and a failure in an enterprise deliberately planned deals a desperate wound at one's self−respect. Hence I iterate and reiterate: Start quietly, unostentatiously. When you have conscientiously given seven hours and a half a week to the cultivation of your vitality for three months−−then you may begin to sing louder and tell yourself what wondrous things you are capable of doing. Before coming to the method of using the indicated hours, I have one final suggestion to make. That is, as regards the evenings, to allow much more than an hour and a half in which to do the work of an hour and a half. Remember the chance of accidents. Remember human nature. And give yourself, say, from 9 to 11.30 for your task of ninety minutes. People say: "One can't help one's thoughts." But one can. The control of the thinking machine is perfectly possible. And since nothing whatever happens to us outside our own brain; since nothing hurts us or gives us pleasure except within the brain, the supreme importance of being able to control what goes on in that mysterious brain is patent. This idea is one of the oldest platitudes, but it is a platitude who's profound truth and urgency most people live and die without realising. People complain of the lack of power to concentrate, not witting that they may acquire the power, if they choose. And without the power to concentrate−−that is to say, without the power to dictate to the brain its task and to ensure obedience−−true life is impossible. Mind control is the first element of a full existence. Hence, it seems to me, the first business of the day should be to put the mind through its paces. You look after your body, inside and out; you run grave danger in hacking hairs off your skin; you employ a whole army of individuals, from the milkman to the pig−killer, to enable you to bribe your stomach into decent behaviour. Why not devote a little attention to the far more delicate machinery of the mind, especially as you will require no extraneous aid? It is for this portion of the art and craft of living that I have reserved the time from the moment of quitting your door to the moment of arriving at your office. "What? I am to cultivate my mind in the street, on the platform, in the train, and in the crowded street again?" How to Live on Twenty−Four Hours a Day 11 How to Live on Twenty−Four Hours a Day Precisely. Nothing simpler! No tools required! Not even a book. Nevertheless, the affair is not easy. When you leave your house, concentrate your mind on a subject (no matter what, to begin with). You will not have gone ten yards before your mind has skipped away under your very eyes and is larking round the corner with another subject. Bring it back by the scruff of the neck. Ere you have reached the station you will have brought it back about forty times. Do not despair. Continue. Keep it up. You will succeed. You cannot by any chance fail if you persevere. It is idle to pretend that your mind is incapable of concentration. Do you not remember that morning when you received a disquieting letter which demanded a very carefully−worded answer? How you kept your mind steadily on the subject of the answer, without a second's intermission, until you reached your office; whereupon you instantly sat down and wrote the answer? That was a case in which *you* were roused by circumstances to such a degree of vitality that you were able to dominate your mind like a tyrant. You would have no trifling. You insisted that its work should be done, and its work was done. By the regular practice of concentration (as to which there is no secret−− save the secret of perseverance) you can tyrannise over your mind (which is not the highest part of *you*) every hour of the day, and in no matter what place. The exercise is a very convenient one. If you got into your morning train with a pair of dumb−bells for your muscles or an encyclopaedia in ten volumes for your learning, you would probably excite remark. But as you walk in the street, or sit in the corner of the compartment behind a pipe, or "strap−hang" on the Subterranean, who is to know that you are engaged in the most important of daily acts? What asinine boor can laugh at you? I do not care what you concentrate on, so long as you concentrate. It is the mere disciplining of the thinking machine that counts. But still, you may as well kill two birds with one stone, and concentrate on something useful. I suggest−−it is only a suggestion−−a little chapter of Marcus Aurelius or Epictetus. Do not, I beg, shy at their names. For myself, I know nothing more "actual," more bursting with plain common−sense, applicable to the daily life of plain persons like you and me (who hate airs, pose, and nonsense) than Marcus Aurelius or Epictetus. Read a chapter−−and so short they are, the chapters! −−in the evening and concentrate on it the next morning. You will see. Yes, my friend, it is useless for you to try to disguise the fact. I can hear your brain like a telephone at my ear. You are saying to yourself: "This fellow was doing pretty well up to his seventh chapter. He had begun to interest me faintly. But what he says about thinking in trains, and concen− tration, and so on, is not for me. It may be well enough for some folks, but it isn't in my line." It is for you, I passionately repeat; it is for you. Indeed, you are the very man I am aiming at. Throw away the suggestion, and you throw away the most precious suggestion that was ever offered to you. It is not my suggestion. It is the suggestion of the most sensible, practical, hard−headed men who have walked the earth. I only give it you at second−hand. Try it. Get your mind in hand. And see how the process cures half the evils of life −−especially worry, that miserable, avoidable, shameful disease−−worry! The exercise of concentrating the mind (to which at least half an hour a day should be given) is a mere preliminary, like scales on the piano. Having acquired power over that most unruly member of one's complex How to Live on Twenty−Four Hours a Day 12 How to Live on Twenty−Four Hours a Day organism, one has naturally to put it to the yoke. Useless to possess an obedient mind unless one profits to the furthest possible degree by its obedience. A prolonged primary course of study is indicated. Now as to what this course of study should be there cannot be any question; there never has been any question. All the sensible people of all ages are agreed upon it. And it is not literature, nor is it any other art, nor is it history, nor is it any science. It is the study of one's self. Man, know thyself. These words are so hackneyed that verily I blush to write them. Yet they must be written, for they need to be written. (I take back my blush, being ashamed of it.) Man, know thyself. I say it out loud. The phrase is one of those phrases with which everyone is familiar, of which everyone acknowledges the value, and which only the most sagacious put into practice. I don't know why. I am entirely convinced that what is more than anything else lacking in the life of the average well−intentioned man of to−day is the reflective mood. We do not reflect. I mean that we do not reflect upon genuinely important things; upon the problem of our happiness, upon the main direction in which we are going, upon what life is giving to us, upon the share which reason has (or has not) in determining our actions, and upon the relation between our principles and our conduct. And yet you are in search of happiness, are you not? Have you discovered it? The chances are that you have not. The chances are that you have already come to believe that happiness is unattainable. But men have attained it. And they have attained it by realising that happiness does not spring from the procuring of physical or mental pleasure, but from the development of reason and the adjustment of conduct to principles. I suppose that you will not have the audacity to deny this. And if you admit it, and still devote no part of your day to the deliberate consideration of your reason, principles, and conduct, you admit also that while striving for a certain thing you are regularly leaving undone the one act which is necessary to the attainment of that thing. Now, shall I blush, or will you? Do not fear that I mean to thrust certain principles upon your attention. I care not (in this place) what your principles are. Your principles may induce you to believe in the righteousness of burglary. I don't mind. All I urge is that a life in which conduct does not fairly well accord with principles is a silly life; and that conduct can only be made to accord with principles by means of daily examination, reflection, and resolution. What leads to the permanent sorrow− fulness of burglars is that their principles are contrary to burglary. If they genuinely believed in the moral excellence of burglary, penal servitude would simply mean so many happy years for them; all martyrs are happy years for them; all martyrs are happy, because their conduct and their principles agree. As for reason (which makes conduct, and is not unconnected with the making of principles), it plays a far smaller part in our lives than we fancy. We are supposed to be reasonable but we are much more instinctive than reasonable. And the less we reflect, the less reasonable we shall be. The next time you get cross with the waiter because your steak is over−cooked, ask reason to step into the cabinet−room of your mind, and consult her. She will probably tell you that the waiter did not cook the steak, and had no control over the cooking of the steak; and that even if he alone was to blame, you accomplished nothing good by getting cross; you merely lost your dignity, looked a fool in the eyes of sensible men, and soured the waiter, while producing no effect whatever on the steak. The result of this consultation with reason (for which she makes no charge) will be that when once more your steak is over−cooked you will treat the waiter as a fellow−creature, remain quite calm in a kindly spirit, and How to Live on Twenty−Four Hours a Day 13 How to Live on Twenty−Four Hours a Day politely insist on having a fresh steak. The gain will be obvious and solid. In the formation or modification of principles, and the practice of conduct, much help can be derived from printed books (issued at sixpence each and upwards). I mentioned in my last chapter Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus. Certain even more widely known works will occur at once to the memory. I may also mention Pascal, La Bruyere, and Emerson. For myself, you do not catch me travelling without my Marcus Aurelius. Yes, books are valuable. But not reading of books will take the place of a daily, candid, honest examination of what one has recently done, and what one is about to do−−of a steady looking at one's self in the face (disconcerting though the sight may be). When shall this important business be accomplished? The solitude of the evening journey home appears to me to be suitable for it. A reflective mood naturally follows the exertion of having earned the day's living. Of course if, instead of attending to an elementary and profoundly important duty, you prefer to read the paper (which you might just as well read while waiting for your dinner) I have nothing to say. But attend to it at some time of the day you must. I now come to the evening hours. Many people pursue a regular and uninterrupted course of idleness in the evenings because they think that there is no alternative to idleness but the study of literature; and they do not happen to have a taste for literature. This is a great mistake. Of course it is impossible, or at any rate very difficult, properly to study anything whatever without the aid of printed books. But if you desire to understand the deeper depths of bridge or of boat−sailing you would not be deterred by your lack of interest in literature from reading the best books on bridge or boat−sailing. We must, therefore, distinguish between literature, and books treating of subjects not literary. I shall come to literature in due course. Let me now remark to those who have never read Meredith, and who are capable of being unmoved by a discussion as to whether Mr. Stephen Phillips is or is not a true poet, that they are perfectly within their rights. It is not a crime not to love literature. It is not a sign of imbecility. The mandarins of literature will order out to instant execution the unfortunate individual who does not comprehend, say, the influence of Wordsworth on Tennyson. But that is only their impudence. Where would they be, I wonder, if requested to explain the influences that went to make Tschaikowsky's "Pathetic Symphony"? There are enormous fields of knowledge quite outside literature which will yield magnificent results to cultivators. For example (since I have just mentioned the most popular piece of high−class music in England to−day), I am reminded that the Promenade Concerts begin in August. You go to them. You smoke your cigar or cigarette (and I regret to say that you strike your matches during the soft bars of the "Lohengrin" overture), and you enjoy the music. But you say you cannot play the piano or the fiddle, or even the banjo; that you know nothing of music. What does that matter? That you have a genuine taste for music is proved by the fact that, in order to fill his hall with you and your peers, the conductor is obliged to provide programmes from which bad music is almost entirely excluded (a change from the old Covent Garden days!). Now surely your inability to perform "The Maiden's Prayer" on a piano need not prevent you from making yourself familiar with the construction of the orchestra to which you listen a couple of nights a week during a How to Live on Twenty−Four Hours a Day 14 How to Live on Twenty−Four Hours a Day couple of months! As things are, you probably think of the orchestra as a heterogeneous mass of instruments producing a confused agreeable mass of sound. You do not listen for details because you have never trained your ears to listen to details. If you were asked to name the instruments which play the great theme at the beginning of the C minor symphony you could not name them for your life's sake. Yet you admire the C minor symphony. It has thrilled you. It will thrill you again. You have even talked about it, in an expansive mood, to that lady−−you know whom I mean. And all you can positively state about the C minor symphony is that Beethoven composed it and that it is a "jolly fine thing." Now, if you have read, say, Mr. Krehbiel's "How to Listen to Music" (which can be got at any bookseller's for less than the price of a stall at the Alhambra, and which contains photographs of all the orchestral instruments and plans of the arrangement of orchestras) you would next go to a promenade concert with an astonishing intensification of interest in it. Instead of a confused mass, the orchestra would appear to you as what it is−−a marvellously balanced organism whose various groups of members each have a different and an indispensable function. You would spy out the instruments, and listen for their respective sounds. You would know the gulf that separates a French horn from an English horn, and you would perceive why a player of the hautboy gets higher wages than a fiddler, though the fiddle is the more difficult instrument. You would *live* at a promenade concert, whereas previously you had merely existed there in a state of beatific coma, like a baby gazing at a bright object. The foundations of a genuine, systematic knowledge of music might be laid. You might specialise your inquiries either on a particular form of music (such as the symphony), or on the works of a particular composer. At the end of a year of forty−eight weeks of three brief evenings each, combined with a study of programmes and attendances at concerts chosen out of your increasing knowledge, you would really know something about music, even though you were as far off as ever from jangling "The Maiden's Prayer" on the piano. "But I hate music!" you say. My dear sir, I respect you. What applies to music applies to the other arts. I might mention Mr. Clermont Witt's "How to Look at Pictures," or Mr. Russell Sturgis's "How to Judge Architecture," as beginnings (merely beginnings) of systematic vitalising knowledge in other arts, the materials for whose study abound in London. "I hate all the arts!" you say. My dear sir, I respect you more and more. I will deal with your case next, before coming to literature. Art is a great thing. But it is not the greatest. The most important of all perceptions is the continual perception of cause and effect−in other words, the perception of the continuous development of the universe−in still other words, the perception of the course of evolution. When one has thoroughly got imbued into one's head the leading truth that nothing happens without a cause, one grows not only large−minded, but large−hearted. It is hard to have one's watch stolen, but one reflects that the thief of the watch became a thief from causes of heredity and environment which are as interesting as they are scientifically comprehensible; and one buys another watch, if not with joy, at any rate with a philosophy that makes bitterness impossible. One loses, in the study of cause and effect, that absurd air which so many people have of being always shocked and pained How to Live on Twenty−Four Hours a Day 15 How to Live on Twenty−Four Hours a Day by the curiousness of life. Such people live amid human nature as if human nature were a foreign country full of awful foreign customs. But, having reached maturity, one ought surely to be ashamed of being a stranger in a strange land! The study of cause and effect, while it lessens the painfulness of life, adds to life's picturesqueness. The man to whom evolution is but a name looks at the sea as a grandiose, monotonous spectacle, which he can witness in August for three shillings third−class return. The man who is imbued with the idea of development, of continuous cause and effect, perceives in the sea an element which in the day−before−yesterday of geology was vapour, which yesterday was boiling, and which to−morrow will inevitably be ice. He perceives that a liquid is merely something on its way to be solid, and he is penetrated by a sense of the tremendous, changeful picturesqueness of life. Nothing will afford a more durable satisfaction than the constantly cultivated appreciation of this. It is the end of all science. Cause and effect are to be found everywhere. Rents went up in Shepherd's Bush. It was painful and shocking that rents should go up in Shepherd's Bush. But to a certain point we are all scientific students of cause and effect, and there was not a clerk lunching at a Lyons Restaurant who did not scienti− fically put two and two together and see in the (once) Two−penny Tube the cause of an excessive demand for wigwams in Shepherd's Bush, and in the excessive demand for wigwams the cause of the increase in the price of wigwams. "Simple!" you say, disdainfully. Everything−the whole complex movement of the universe−is as simple as that−when you can sufficiently put two and two together. And, my dear sir, perhaps you happen to be an estate agent's clerk, and you hate the arts, and you want to foster your immortal soul, and you can't be interested in your business because it's so humdrum. Nothing is humdrum. The tremendous, changeful picturesqueness of life is marvellously shown in an estate agent's office. What! There was a block of traffic in Oxford Street; to avoid the block people actually began to travel under the cellars and drains, and the result was a rise of rents in Shepherd's Bush! And you say that isn't picturesque! Suppose you were to study, in this spirit, the property question in London for an hour and a half every other evening. Would it not give zest to your business, and transform your whole life? You would arrive at more difficult problems. And you would be able to tell us why, as the natural result of cause and effect, the longest straight street in London is about a yard and a half in length, while the longest absolutely straight street in Paris extends for miles. I think you will admit that in an estate agent's clerk I have not chosen an example that specially favours my theories. You are a bank clerk, and you have not read that breathless romance (disguised as a scientific study), Walter Bagehot's "Lombard Street"? Ah, my dear sir, if you had begun with that, and followed it up for ninety minutes every other evening, how enthralling your business would be to you, and how much more clearly you would understand human nature. You are "penned in town," but you love excursions to the country and the observation of wild life−certainly a heart−enlarging diversion. Why don't you walk out of your house door, in your slippers, to the nearest gas lamp of a night with a butterfly net, and observe the wild life of common and rare moths that is beating about it, and co−ordinate the knowledge thus obtained and build a superstructure on it, and at last get to know something about something? You need not be devoted to the arts, not to literature, in order to live fully. How to Live on Twenty−Four Hours a Day 16 How to Live on Twenty−Four Hours a Day The whole field of daily habit and scene is waiting to satisfy that curiosity which means life, and the satisfaction of which means an understanding heart. I promised to deal with your case, O man who hates art and literature, and I have dealt with it. I now come to the case of the person, happily very common, who does "like reading." Novels are excluded from "serious reading," so that the man who, bent on self−improvement, has been deciding to devote ninety minutes three times a week to a complete study of the works of Charles Dickens will be well advised to alter his plans. The reason is not that novels are not serious−− some of the great literature of the world is in the form of prose fiction−− the reason is that bad novels ought not to be read, and that good novels never demand any appreciable mental application on the part of the reader. It is only the bad parts of Meredith's novels that are difficult. A good novel rushes you forward like a skiff down a stream, and you arrive at the end, perhaps breathless, but unexhausted. The best novels involve the least strain. Now in the cultivation of the mind one of the most important factors is precisely the feeling of strain, of difficulty, of a task which one part of you is anxious to achieve and another part of you is anxious to shirk; and that f eeling cannot be got in facing a novel. You do not set your teeth in order to read "Anna Karenina." Therefore, though you should read novels, you should not read them in those ninety minutes. Imaginative poetry produces a far greater mental strain than novels. It produces probably the severest strain of any form of literature. It is the highest form of literature. It yields the highest form of pleasure, and teaches the highest form of wisdom. In a word, there is nothing to compare with it. I say this with sad consciousness of the fact that the majority of people do not read poetry. I am persuaded that many excellent persons, if they were confronted with the alternatives of reading "Paradise Lost" and going round Trafalgar Square at noonday on their knees in sack−cloth, would choose the ordeal of public ridicule. Still, I will never cease advising my friends and enemies to read poetry before anything. If poetry is what is called "a sealed book" to you, begin by reading Hazlitt's famous essay on the nature of "poetry in general." It is the best thing of its kind in English, and no one who has read it can possibly be under the misapprehension that poetry is a mediaeval torture, or a mad elephant, or a gun that will go off by itself and kill at forty paces. Indeed, it is difficult to imagine the mental state of the man who, after reading Hazlitt's essay, is not urgently desirous of reading some poetry before his next meal. If the essay so inspires you I would suggest that you make a commencement with purely narrative poetry. There is an infinitely finer English novel, written by a woman, than anything by George Eliot or the Brontes, or even Jane Austen, which perhaps you have not read. Its title is "Aurora Leigh," and its author E.B. Browning. It happens to be written in verse, and to contain a considerable amount of genuinely fine poetry. Decide to read that book through, even if you die for it. Forget that it is fine poetry. Read it simply for the story and the social ideas. And when you have done, ask yourself honestly whether you still dislike poetry. I have known more than one person to whom "Aurora Leigh" has been the means of proving that in assuming they hated poetry they were entirely mistaken. Of course, if, after Hazlitt, and such an experiment made in the light of Hazlitt, you are finally assured that there is something in you which is antagonistic to poetry, you must be content with history or philosophy. I shall regret it, yet not inconsolably. "The Decline and Fall" is not to be named in the same day with "Paradise How to Live on Twenty−Four Hours a Day 17 How to Live on Twenty−Four Hours a Day Lost," but it is a vastly pretty thing; and Herbert Spencer's "First Principles" simply laughs at the claims of poetry and refuses to be accepted as aught but the most majestic product of any human mind. I do not suggest that either of these works is suitable for a tyro in mental strains. But I see no reason why any man of average intelligence should not, after a year of continuous reading, be fit to assault the supreme masterpieces of history or philosophy. The great convenience of masterpieces is that they are so astonishingly lucid. I suggest no particular work as a start. The attempt would be futile in the space of my command. But I have two general suggestions of a certain importance. The first is to define the direction and scope of your efforts. Choose a limited period, or a limited subject, or a single author. Say to yourself: "I will know something about the French Revolution, or the rise of railways, or the works of John Keats." And during a given period, to be settled beforehand, confine yourself to your choice. There is much pleasure to be derived from being a specialist. The second suggestion is to think as well as to read. I know people who read and read, and for all the good it does them they might just as well cut bread−and−butter. They take to reading as better men take to drink. They fly through the shires of literature on a motor−car, their sole object being motion. They will tell you how many books they have read in a year. Unless you give at least forty−five minutes to careful, fatiguing reflection (it is an awful bore at first) upon what you are reading, your ninety minutes of a night are chiefly wasted. This means that your pace will be slow. Never mind. Forget the goal; think only of the surrounding country; and after a period, perhaps when you least expect it, you will suddenly find yourself in a lovely town on a hill. I cannot terminate these hints, often, I fear, too didactic and abrupt, upon the full use of one's time to the great end of living (as distinguished from vegetating) without briefly referring to certain dangers which lie in wait for the sincere aspirant towards life. The first is the terrible danger of becoming that most odious and least supportable of persons−−a prig. Now a prig is a pert fellow who gives himself airs of superior wisdom. A prig is a pompous fool who has gone out for a ceremonial walk, and without knowing it has lost an important part of his attire, namely, his sense of humour. A prig is a tedious individual who, having made a discovery, is so impressed by his discovery that he is capable of being gravely displeased because the entire world is not also impressed by it. Unconsciously to become a prig is an easy and a fatal thing. Hence, when one sets forth on the enterprise of using all one's time, it is just as well to remember that one's own time, and not other people's time, is the material with which one has to deal; that the earth rolled on pretty comfortably before one began to balance a budget of the hours, and that it will continue to roll on pretty comfortably whether or not one succeeds in one's new role of chancellor of the exchequer of time. It is as well not to chatter too much about what one is doing, and not to betray a too−pained sadness at the spectacle of a whole world deliberately wasting so many hours out of every day, and therefore never really living. It will be found, ultimately, that in taking care of one's self one has quite all one can do. Another danger is the danger of being tied to a programme like a slave to a chariot. One's programme must not be allowed to run away with one. It must be respected, but it must not be worshipped as a fetish. A How to Live on Twenty−Four Hours a Day 18 How to Live on Twenty−Four Hours a Day programme of daily employ is not a religion. This seems obvious. Yet I know men whose lives are a burden to themselves and a distressing burden to their relatives and friends simply because they have failed to appreciate the obvious. "Oh, no," I have heard the martyred wife exclaim, "Arthur always takes the dog out for exercise at eight o'clock and he always begins to read at a quarter to nine. So it's quite out of the question that we should. . ." etc., etc. And the note of absolute finality in that plaintive voice reveals the unsuspected and ridiculous tragedy of a career. On the other hand, a programme is a programme. And unless it is treated with deference it ceases to be anything but a poor joke. To treat one's programme with exactly the right amount of deference, to live with not too much and not too little elasticity, is scarcely the simple affair it may appear to the inexperienced. And still another danger is the danger of developing a policy of rush, of being gradually more and more obsessed by what one has to do next. In this way one may come to exist as in a prison, and ones life may cease to be one's own. One may take the dog out for a walk at eight o'clock, and meditate the whole time on the fact that one must begin to read at a quarter to nine, and that one must not be late. And the occasional deliberate breaking of one's programme will not help to mend matters. The evil springs not from persisting without elasticity in what one has attempted, but from originally attempting too much, from filling one's programme till it runs over. The only cure is to reconstitute the programme, and to attempt less. But the appetite for knowledge grows by what it feeds on, and there are men who come to like a constant breathless hurry of endeavour. Of them it may be said that a constant breathless hurry is better than an eternal doze. In any case, if the programme exhibits a tendency to be oppressive, and yet one wishes not to modify it, an excellent palliative is to pass with exaggerated deliberation from one portion of it to another; for example, to spend five minutes in perfect mental quiescence between chaining up the St. Bernard and opening the book; in other words, to waste five minutes with the entire consciousness of wasting them. The last, and chiefest danger which I would indicate, is one to which I have already referred−−the risk of a failure at the commencement of the enterprise. I must insist on it. A failure at the commencement may easily kill outright the newborn impulse towards a complete vitality, and therefore every precaution should be observed to avoid it. The impulse must not be over−taxed. Let the pace of the first lap be even absurdly slow, but let it be as regular as possible. And, having once decided to achieve a certain task, achieve it at all costs of tedium and distaste. The gain in self−confidence of having accomplished a tiresome labour is immense. Finally, in choosing the first occupations of those evening hours, be guided by nothing whatever but your taste and natural inclination. It is a fine thing to be a walking encyclopaedia of philosophy, but if you happen to have no liking for philosophy, and to have a like for the natural history of street−cries, much better leave philosophy alone, and take to street−cries.

Joyful Treasure Hunting: Chocolate with a side of Hobbs :) My husband and I also stopped at one of my favorite Good Will's in Newhall. I think sometimes for me going to a thrift store is more of a relaxing experience then a shopping experience. If I have a long day at work or I am just tired there is nothing better to me then hopping in the car and going to a thrift store. I love wandering the aisles and seeing all of the fun treasures that come in, or attempting to spot the items that I have seen there for a LOOOONG Time! Wondering when those old items will sell OR if they will sell. Anyways, I didn't find to much this evening, but my adorable husband found a Calvin and Hobbs book that we decided needed to come home with us. Tonight must come to a close as my sweet husband is already in bed. I know you are going to realize after I publish this post that it is only 8:45, but its ok at least we will wake up refreshed because of all that great sleep we got.

today...: January 2012 The world that DEMANDed our attention would have to wait... as this one morning the furry dudes and I decided to go out on our excursion. The green had started to paint its way in the spaces between the bare branches, in most places, and not so in other places. This poor coral tree was butchered by our "skilled" gardeners two years ago, and forces a few leaves out each year! One squirrel took note of our presence...he expected sunflower seeds raining from the skies magically! Mr Puffy Pants and Mr Sweet Pants strolled almost paw in paw, savoring each others' feline proximity. The magnificent beasts placed themselves royally in two different spots making observations, the way only big cats know how to do. Sweet Pants stared right into my eyes, indicating that he was focused and ready for reading. Mr Puffy Pants got up to find a favorable spot where he too would listen. He assumed the posture of unencumbered reflection! We reflected on this passage from The Promulgation of Universal Peace: "From the fellowship and commingling of the elemental atoms life results. In their harmony and blending there is ever newness of existence. It is radiance, completeness; it is consummation; it is life itself. Just now the physical energies and natural forces, which come under our immediate observation are all at peace. The sun is at peace with the earth upon which it shines. The soft breathing winds are at peace with the trees. All the elements are in harmony and equilibrium. A slight disturbance and discord among them might bring another San Francisco earthquake and fire. A physical clash, a little quarreling among the elements, as it were, and a violent cataclysm of nature results. This happens in the mineral kingdom. Consider, then, the effect of discord and conflict in the kingdom of man, so superior to the realm of inanimate existence. How great the attendant catastrophe, especially when we realize that man is endowed by God with mind and intellect." We meditated in silence. Ollie was especially touched. Later when he came to, he made lots of kisses and blew them in the air for you.

This is the scene from yesterday when I was leaving work, sort of exhausted, relieved, wondering. Thankful for this sight that made me think of kindness...sometimes kindness is in the beauty of friends, or what surrounds us, maybe words, maybe in silence. Surrounded by their gentle kindness of the naughty sort we reflected upon this: "O maid-servant of God! The mystery of sacrifice is that man should sacrifice all his conditions for the divine station of God. The station of God is mercy, kindness, forgiveness, sacrifice, favor, grace and giving life to the spirits and lighting the fire of His love in the hearts and arteries. I asked God to make thee a sign of mercy, the banner of kindness among His maid-servants." AbdulBaha, Spiritual Teacher Cat boys made kisses for your weekend and wished you to be surrounded with kindness. Posted by MrsLittleJeans at 3:14 PM 10 comments: do you look through your leather bound book? The cat boys and I listened to her. We missed you all. They made big pawfuls of kisses and blew them into the sunny skies... Posted by MrsLittleJeans at 12:46 PM 7 comments: Labels: Shadi Toloui-Wallace The Apologue of the Pearl A frequently misunderstood spiritual law is humility, in our opinion of course! Its significance can only be explained by analogy to the physical world. Here, energy only flows from high point (voltage) to low. The modern world regards humility as a weakness. It cannot be fake self-effacement. It is a difficult trait to develop, for most of us, but not for cat boys. It was a panoramic day and we felt that we were floating in the space between units of time. Everyone is busy and playtime presents itself randomly but delightfully! I noticed feet...packed with energy...ginger feet I saw the look, that beam of energy...focussed... I witnessed pecks on cheeks, aahh, so delicious, I wish I had received one. I observed the proper handling of ginger cats, by their fluffy little tails. They shared that they wanted to be in a circus...I told them that they already were there. I observed SweetPants pretending to walk the narrow rope...gracefully. I observed proper handling of SweetPants...he is smiling! He said that it tickled. A raindrop fell from a spring cloud, and, seeing the wide expanse of the sea, was ashamed. ‘Where the sea is’, it reflected, ‘where am I? Compared with that, forsooth, I am extinct’. While thus regarding itself with an eye of contempt, an oyster took it to its bosom, and Fate so shaped its course that eventually the raindrop became a famous royal pearl. It was exalted for it was humble, Knocking at the door of extinction, it became existent. ( from Bustan, meaning Orchard) We wish all a delightful Tuesday...cat boys sent pawfuls of their yummy kisses! Posted by MrsLittleJeans at 8:38 AM 12 comments: Labels: Apologue of the Pearl, humility we like to do this when we have too much to do and other times we just make faces...it seems to help! Ollie prefers to find some aromatic and enticing herbal stimulants to ease his nerves or engage in a good roll on the cement ground. After shaking off the spell they have on me I usually like to look up...look for light finding its way through the new and old leaves! Augustus wanted to know what was on our reading agenda this morning! He said that the topic had exhausted itself and that now was a good time to read and reflect! He is bossy sometimes but more adorable he could not be, and he knows it. We read this together: "..loss of self-consciousness does not involve a loss of self and certainly not a loss of consciousness, but rather, only a loss of consciousness of self. What slips below the threshold of awareness is the concept of self, the information we use to represent to ourselves who we are. When not preoccupied with our selves, we actually have a chance to expand the concept of who we are. Loss of self-consciousness can lead to self-transcendence, to a feeling that the boundaries of our being have been pushed forward." Mihaly Szikszentmihalyi, in "flow" "...be thou oblivious of this world below. Be thou wholly absorbed in the emanations of the spirit that nothing in the world of man will distract thee..." Abdul Baha, spiritual teacher Cat boys could only agree with what they thought was obvious. Later they made you good wish kisses and blew them in the air!! Labels: Abdul Baha, Mihaly szikszentmihalyi If you were to ask that question from cat boys, properly phrased of course, "What would you do for a tuna pie?", you just might get an answer such as "I'd dance for you". However, I have no such luck! Cat boys do what they want and when they want to do it. I am only asking them to give me their undivided attention and I am not advancing very far. We went to our humble back yard that is starting to look more humble each day due to either lazy and/or very unknowledgeable gardeners. I drew the attention of the cat boys to the tree top above where a plump bird of some sort was singing away knowing full well that no cat would manage to go way up that tree. My furry companions were delighted! Augustus, Mr Sweet Pants was gauging the heights while Ollie, Mr Puffy Pants, had love written all over his face! To make a short story even shorter, this is what transpired when I asked the cats to sit down for their back yard reflective reading. MrSweetPants, MSP, was thinking about it while MrPuffyPants, MPP was gazing away. Then I had the attention of MPP but not MSP. Then I had MSP but MPP was occupied with his paw licking routine. Then I lost them both to some thought or sight. Then they were talking amongst themselves pondering how much longer they should exercise their independence! MPP was finally ready, he remembered who had the can opener for the can of tuna...while MSP remained certain that he could bend my will with his cuteness! And finally I had the two precious ones, MrSweetPants and MrPuffyPants, ready on their own time, and not one second sooner! We reflected on: "A drop of the billowing ocean of His endless mercy hath adorned all creation with the ornament of existence, and a breath wafted from His peerless Paradise hath invested all beings with the robe of His sanctity and glory. A sprinkling from the unfathomed deep of His sovereign and all-pervasive Will hath, out of utter nothingness, called into being a creation which is infinite in its range and deathless in its duration. The wonders of His bounty can never cease, and the stream of His merciful grace can never be arrested. The process of His creation hath had no beginning, and can have no end." Gleanings Cat boys feeling infinite in their range made many kisses and blew them in the air for you...wishing you a happy January again! Posted by MrsLittleJeans at 8:53 AM 19 comments: Under the curious eyes of two tiny yellow birds were lazying about two big cat boys! You would know them by one of many names, and today, that would be simply Augustus and Ollie. The birds took my breath away, I felt that this was the first time that I had seen such yellow birds in the skies that tent us. When I looked above I only saw one and later when I looked at the picture there was a bonus bird on a lower branch! Down below in our cement yard, Augustus had just finished his noms and had a serene look on his face, which to me indicated something profound. He wanted to set some goals for himself but he needed to reflect in his own personal space! When I saw his downward glance I did not need to look down to see what furry gingery naughty beast was waiting down below. You see Ollie plays this game where he likes to block the path for Gus and Gus has to find a way around him. Here Gus is considering the back way ...Nah nah nah...you don't give in Gus, I advised him. Ollie is not pleased with me, he is pleased with himself. I am pleased irrespective and I don't even know why. His Puffiness, Ollie descends on the ground waiting for Fussy Gus to descend. "Oh, who is giving me the innocent look here? Who is it I want to know." Fun and games aside, I had two cat boys in front of me, and what better time than this for reading and reflection. So I asked them to ponder over what happened at the dawn of creation... "A man should pause and reflect and be just: his Lord, out of measureless grace, has made him a human being and honored him with the words: "Verily, We created man in the goodliest of forms” -- and caused His mercy which rises out of the dawn of oneness to shine down upon him, until he became the wellspring of the words of God and the place where the mysteries of heaven alighted, and on the morning of creation he was covered with the rays of the qualities of perfection and the graces of holiness." Cat boys meowed with delight, they knew all about perfection and grace so they made kisses and ran about frolicking!! Labels: Abdul Baha, Secret of Divine Civilization Well, it is not everyday that one wakes up to an award, is it? So today is/was a special day for us. I got into my office, turned on the computer, placed my coffee next to it, various thoughts were forming in my head and I was determined to use my consciousness to sort them out and organize what I felt was unorganized. I did not want randomness. I think I was not happy on the inside but had convinced myself that I was. Do you ever have that feeling? I was not thrilled about .... while immensely thankful about .... Well, this condition did not last very long thanks to one of my favorite blogger friends, dear Mette, who awarded us the Liebster award! Yay! I sensed clouds lifting and rays of sun coming through, light flowing. Thank you Dear Mette.... you made our day. To honor this award, I decided to do a photo shoot of the furry beauties, and so I present to you today more photos of the boy beauties. When I told Augustus to pose he did not hesitate, he realized the significance of this event. He lay on his side and asked me if the pose was good. Ahem, ahem, I liked the way those leaves draped above but I wanted more. "How's this?", he wanted to know. Ahem, ahem, ...more! "How's this, the one-sided gaze, pretending like I don't see you?", I told him that he was on the right track. "How's this?, the love collapse?". "Oh ya!". "I may have to eat you now", I said, to which he replied with his baby smile. He finally felt too shy and asked me to stop. I could not ask for more cuteness. Ginger Puff was listening from a short distance away using his sensitive swivel ears. He told me that he did not want to pose today...sometimes he feels subconscious of himself! "He was thinking", he said. I did manage to catch this wishful look that happens every time a bird flies overhead disrupting his train of cat thoughts. Cat boys extended their profoundest thanks to Metscan and all the friends who stop by for a friendly hi. Augustus used his mental energies to send you best wishes for this first week in January of 2012. Ollie sent discreet kisses. The award is given to bloggers with fewer than 200 followers. 1. ) You are to thank the giver, who gave it to you. 2. ) Reveal your 5 blogger picks, and let them know, by leaving a comment on their blog. 3. ) Copy and paste the award on your blog. 4. ) Hope, that the people, you have sent the award to, will forward it to their 5 favorite bloggers.

Earth Day started in 1970, according to Wikipedia. “ The first Earth Day celebrations took place in two thousand colleges and universities, roughly ten thousand primary and secondary schools, and hundreds of communities across the United States. More importantly, it “brought 20 million Americans out into the spring sunshine for peaceful demonstrations in favor of environmental reform.” It now is observed in 192 countries, and coordinated by the nonprofit Earth Day Network, chaired by the first Earth Day 1970 organizer Denis Hayes, according to whom Earth Day is now “the largest secular holiday in the world, celebrated by more than a billion people every year.” Environmental groups have sought to make Earth Day into a day of action to change human behavior and provoke policy changes.” New Age author and artist Jose Arguelles, claims he was also one of th

Hoffman Park Plans Hinge On Tax Hike - tribunedigital-chicagotribune Hoffman Park Plans Hinge On Tax Hike September 02, 1991|By Kathie Mitchell. The Hoffman Estates Park District has a wish list that includes building two new swimming pools and driving out dandelions. But to get all its wishes-based in part on a survey of residents taken last year-would require a tax hike. And as much as they would like to improve weed control and other maintenance, as well as provide support for senior centers and a children`s museum, officials know how wary homeowners are of tax increases. So a Park District committee plans to get input from residents before deciding whether to recommend that the district put a referendum on the March ballot seeking a 20 percent tax increase that officials estimate would add about $19 to the annual tax bill for a $150,000 home. The committee, made up of park commissioners and community members, is discussing the park district`s needs and wants. It will hear from the public at a meeting at 7 p.m. Sept. 17 in the Blackhawk Community Center, 1685 W. Higgins Rd., before making a recommendation to the park board. One of the needs being considered is swimming pools. Hoffman Estates has only one pool, on Grand Canyon Parkway south of Higgins Road. When it was built in 1964, it was in the center of the village, but no longer is easily accessible to all of the population. The parks staff also believes it needs serious renovation and wants a consultant to look at it to determine what repairs it might need. The pool has a concrete bottom, which is ``deteriorating very rapidly,`` according to Edward Haag, executive director of the park district. In addition, the steel walls probably are rusting from the backside, he said. A list of possible projects that could be funded by a tax hike includes a pool on the north side of the village at a cost of $970,000 and a larger pool on the south side at a cost of $3.3 million. Other items being discussed include maintenance; dropping fees charged to athletic groups; weed and dandelion control; and continued support of the Children`s Museum and Imaginasium and the teen and senior centers. If all projects on the list were adopted, the annual cost would be $780,000. According to a survey conducted last year, pools, park maintenance and a children`s museum are items residents would be willing to pay for, Haag said. A tax-rate increase of 14 cents per $100 of equalized assessed valuation would cover all the items on the project list. That would increase the tax rate to 83 cents from 69 cents and would cost a person with a home valued at $150,000 about $19 annually, Haag said. To get a referendum on the March 17 ballot, the park board must make a decision by Jan. 12.

Selah Ri: So, I washed my hair with oil... I was on Pinterest and saw a pin about hair ... since my currently daily pattern is talking myself through daily affirmations go something like... you are more than your bad hair... everyone wants hair that's chin length... lots of colors are good...lots of colors are good... (heh...ok, listen, brought all this hair stuff upon myself...I had a GREAT stylist and colorist in Georgia, I'm the one that wanted the halo of dark chocolate brown. I'm the one that wanted to cut off 5 inches. ME ME ME ME ME. It's all me.... but anyway...) So, I'm reading and I come across this pin that said she took Biotin, she brushed her hair nightly, only used the hair dryer on low, never flat ironed and washed her hair with Eucerin Shower Oil . (I can't find the pin now, of course, because I didn't pin it...argh) Now, I am familiar with the Eucerin brand. I had NO idea they made body wash/shower oil. The pinner compared the shower oil to the Wen hair products. It's worth noting I have never used Wen and can't compare my results to what their product would supply. With that said, I set off to Walgreens to locate shower oil. Let me also say. I have decent hair. It's thick, has natural body and volume and is not oily . The shower oil is fragrance free and it's a low lather. I also skipped conditioner (which I use daily and I deep condition twice a week) but I wanted to get ''true'' results. I used it on Anna-Elizabeth's hair last night (she's seven and her hair is mid length of her back) My hair feels really soft. It has that salon feeling ... springy and SUPER shiny. With Anna-Elizabeth, she also had very few tangles (and we allllllllllways use conditioner with her and we skipped it too) and it's shiny and so very soft. I did follow up with my argan oil while it was damp and then used my flat iron. I am a little surprised how much I liked the results-I kind of expected it to be one of those fails. I mean, who uses shower OIL on their hair? Really? I am going to continue to use it , just to see if it continues to work out so nicely but I will be adding condition/deep conditioning back into the mix. You know what would really be helpful? If you could find a curly girl and give her a sample to try so I can know if it works as well for her. LOL I may have to find some though and test the waters. Heck, if it doesn't work I just use it for it's intended purpose I guess. :) Stacey-I started using Vit. e to clean my face back in September and that was my thought-if it didn't work on my hair, then I could use it on body or maybe even my face. If I were in GA I would totally have my crazy curly niece use it for test purposes. :D

Funny or Die | 10 Things I Hate* About Your Movie June 12, 2010 · 1:44 am Random Observation: The Karate Kid Why is the new remake called The Karate Kid? From everything I’ve gathered, it’s not the exact same story at all, so in that sense it’s not an outright remake. They’re moving it to China, which means he’s studying kung fu with Jackie Chan, am I right? I mean, they are different martial arts disciplines, aren’t they?* It’s not actually karate anymore… Why not call it The Kung Fu Kid and let it stand on it’s own? I mean, the only reason to keep the title would be name recognition to bring in the $$$, I would think, but those of us who grew up with that movie love the original and don’t want a new one with Will Smith’s kid (who looks 9). We don’t want a remake and will probably not see it for just that reason. But I’ve seen The New Karate Kid (too many times on TV to mention actually. I was recognizing Hillary Swank before people knew who she was). And this is probably a pretty good movie, and it’d be nice to see Jackie Chan be serious (I think). Let the original be its amazing self and let this be a new addition to the series…not a “remake” of an 80s movie that is perfectly good, nay great, as it is. Why not The Kung Fu Kid? What are you afraid of Hollywood? * I do admit that I may be wrong in thinking this and there may be relationships that I don’t understand, just like I don’t know everything about the political histories of China and Japan. But, for what I know, karate is Japanese and kung fu is Chinese and those are two totally different countries.

Into The King's Garden: October 2012 Spiced Pine Cone Potpourri Recipe In a plastic garbage bag: Small Pine cones- as many as you want 1 full container of ground cinnamon 1 small bottle of apple (or) cinnamon spice oil 1 of each for a stronger fragrance- * These can be found in the candle section of your local chain store (like Walmart) or craft store (like Michael's) Place your pine cones in the plastic bag and pour the ground cinnamon and the oil (or oils) over the pine cones. Tie the bag closed tightly. Shake for a few seconds to distribute the oil and cinnamon over each. Set aside in a closet or some other out of the way area. Each day for one week go and give the bag a mighty shake. After one week you scented pine cones are ready to use. Place them in a basket or bowl and your room will smell fantastic for months. When the pine cones begin to lose their scent you can reuse them- using the same technique or go out in the yard and collect a new batch of pinecones. Since you are using all natural ingredients you don't have to worry about the muck they put in the commercial scented pine cones (shudder) who knows what they use in those. Ohh and you might want to place the bowl or basket of scented cones in an area where the dogs and cats can't get at them and use them for paw batting practice or chew toys. It won't harm them but what a mess you will be cleaning up when they have had their fun. We are trying to create a cleaner environment; not trying to create more work for ourselves! * If you love the smell of pine you can simply use the pine oil over the pine cones instead of apple or cinnamon oil. Replace the use of a container of ground cinnamon with a container of ground cloves. Everything else applies the same. Posted by ~ Lady Lazarus ~ at 10/31/2012 09:51:00 PM No comments: Links to this post Labels: Crafts, Creative, Homemade, Homemaking ~Luke~ Physician & Quiet Quillman Did a tear drop onto Luke's papyrus as he wrote? Did it smudge ink as he reminisced on Mary's words and in his distant mind hear a cooing baby Jesus? Maybe Luke worked deep into the nights. Maybe the candlelight's flicker brought ambience to every recollection as Luke lingered over his notes and penned the most beautiful Gospel, one of the most beautiful books ever written. Maybe the crackle of his fire reminded him of the one that warmed the precious Infant. Surely Luke smiled when his stylus scripted across the sheet. The thoughts of Jesus, a newborn crying His arrival into the world He would save, must have been overwhelming. How do you write with goosebumps? Some sixty years after Jesus’ birth, Luke recorded for eternity the most eloquent, detailed account of the conception, birth, childhood, and ministry of our Lord. 24 Chapters total. Luke likely labored over his work for months, writing from his notes and the Holy Spirit's prompting. The results are the third Gospel and the book of Acts, a record of the inception and growth of the Christian Church. We know so little about Luke. Yet we know all we need. There are only three references to him in the Bible: Colossians 4:14; 14 Our dear friend Luke, the doctor, and Demas send greetings 2 Timothy 4:11; 11 Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, because he is helpful to me in my ministry Philemon 1:24; 24 And so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas and Luke, my fellow workers But through them and his writing style we can sketch a glimpse of the man whom God used to write more words of the New Testament than anyone else. He was a Gentile, a Greek. He was a close traveling companion of Paul, perhaps his closest, a physician beloved by Paul. (Colossians 4:14) Luke no doubt shared in Paul's persecutions and trials, all the while repeatedly doctoring the mighty apostle to recovery. Tradition holds that Luke was a native of Antioch and that he died unmarried and childless at the age of eighty-four. He is believed to have written each of his books while Paul was imprisoned, first in Caesarea and finally in Rome. That is where Paul wrote the most telling of words: “Only Luke is with me” (2 Timothy 4:11). Luke was a Greek writing to fellow Gentiles, reassuring them that Christ came for all mankind. Luke's work is unique in that it emphasizes the manhood of Jesus in all its perfection, purity, splendor, and sublimity. Jesus was the model for us all. The Gospel of Luke displays a keen interest in individuals, social outcasts, women, children, and social relationships, especially situations involving poverty or wealth. These features tell us something about Luke as a person and his unique understanding of Christianity. The famous “we” passages beginning in Acts 16:10 reveal that Luke was eyewitness to much of Paul's ministry. Yet Luke makes clear in the introduction of the book of Luke that he was not witness to the events of his Gospel but had “investigated everything carefully from the beginning” (v. 3). What possibilities does this statement open? If, as most scholars agree, Luke wrote his Gospel around a.d. 60, it is possible that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was alive and about eighty years old. The captivating thought of Luke interviewing Mary is ascribed credibility by the fact that Luke lingers over the birth of Jesus like none other. He also includes a recitation of Mary's Song (Luke 1:46-55) that invokes at least twelve quotations of Old Testament Scripture. Luke's detail may have come from the very lips of Jesus’ mother. Caesarea was only a few miles from Jerusalem, Jesus’ mother may have been still alive, at John's home in Jerusalem. Luke may have spent many precious hours with her, listening to her reminiscences of her Wondrous Son. Respected scholar F. B. Meyer adds: “Luke dwells specially on the early incidents of our Lord's life, and some have detected in the Greek forms of sentences the direct recital of Mary as she recounted to Luke those sacred recollections which she pondered in her heart.” Luke stressed the blessed humanity of Jesus and plights of women and children and the poor, sick, and outcast. From spending so much time with those closest to Jesus, Luke knew this is what the Lord would have wanted. One of the most challenging elements of using the quill is finding a way to hide behind it. Luke got out of the way and allowed the Lord His rightful place out front. He served in the background, never directly referring to himself. Luke labored without regard to himself or the persecution that raged around him. Luke was mighty in spirit because he did this by dying to self and living for the Lord whom he came to love more and more through the facts culled in interviews. He did this though his closest friend was in jail and ultimately under a death sentence. "Only Luke is with me,” Paul says. Nearby, Luke squinted at his notes, smiled, and picked up his stylus. He is with us still.

And that 80 percent of the pumpkin supply in the United States is available in October? This article explores some interesting facts about the common pumpkin and provides useful websites where you can find pumpkin recipes, original pumpkin carving ideas and school activities to keep kids busy during Halloween and Thanksgiving. The name pumpkin originated from the Greek "pepon" which means "large melon." The pumpkin is a member of the cucurbitacae family which includes cucumbers and melons. Pumpkins were unknown to Europe until after Christopher Columbus sailed to America. They are grown around the world with the biggest productions being in China, India, United States and Mexico. Out of all the continents only Antarctica is unable to produce pumpkins. The Native American name for pumpkin is "isqoutm squash." Around 90-95 percent of the processed pumpkins in the United States are grown in Illinois. Pumpkins are 90 percent water and contain vitamin A and potassium. 100 grams (3.5 oz) of pumpkin contain 0.01 grams of polyunsaturated fat, 1.0 grams of protein and 3100 pg of beta-carotene, an antioxidant. The seeds which are usually roasted are a popular treat and a good source of protein, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, and other vitamins. Studies and research show that beta-carotene is linked with cancer protection. Most parts of the pumpkin are edible. The seeds can be dried and eaten as a nutritious snack. The flowers, leaves and shell are also comestible. The first pumpkin pies were made when colonists sliced off pumpkin tops and removed the seeds, then they filled the pumpkins with honey, milk and spices and baked them in hot ashes. Pumpkins are said to have originated in the Americas and Native Americans had multiple uses for them. They roasted and ate the seeds, dried pieces of pumpkin in flour, they ate the blossoms and made strips from pumpkins which they flattened and wove into mats. They also used pumpkin seeds for medicinal purposes. Today pumpkins have become a North American tradition and a staple especially during Halloween and Thanksgiving. Pumpkin is used for cooking in a number of recipes from muffins and bread to pies and custards. It is also used in soups, to make pudding and cakes. Pumpkin can be bought whole fresh or canned for a longer shelf life In other parts of the world pumpkins are used for cooking in a variety of ways. In Italy pumpkins have different regional cooking uses, they are used as a savory stuffing for ravioli, sliced in small pieces and then fried or they are cut in pieces and then candied. In the Middle East pumpkin is used in desserts. In Thailand small pumpkins are served as desserts with custard inside. In India pumpkin is cooked with sugar, spices and butter to produce a dish called kadu ka halwa. In China pumpkin leaves are cooked and eaten alone or in soups. Other Pumpkin Uses Pumpkin seeds produce oil that is used for cooking, as salad dressing or mixed with other oils. The oil is a good source of essential fatty acids that help maintain a healthy heart and blood vessels. Veterinarians recommend canned pumpkin as a dietary supplement for cats and dogs with digestive problems. Pumpkins are also used as animal feed. In 2007 in a research on type-1 diabetes conducted by East China Normal University it was suggested that chemical compounds found in pumpkin extract are very good for pre-diabetic people and for those who already have diabetes. The Pumpkin and Halloween Many centuries ago the Celts used to celebrate the end of the Celtic year from October 31 at sundown until November 1st by remembering their loved ones who had passed away. To honor them on this magical night they set on their porches and window sills glowing jack-o-lanterns carved from turnips and gourds. The original Jack-o-lantern was an old drunkard who played tricks on anyone who went his way, so says the legend of Stingy Jack. When the old man died neither heaven nor hell wanted him because he had been mean and cruel during his life. Afraid that he would have to keep wandering in a never ending darkness Jack turned to the devil to help him his way through the darkness, the devil tossed an ember from the flames of hell to help Jack find his way. Jack kept the ember in a hollowed out turnip and since then Jack is said to have roamed the universe with his lit Jack-o-lantern. When European settlers, especially the Irish, arrived in North America they discovered the pumpkin which lent itself to carving the Jack-o-lantern and they thought it was easier to carve because of the larger size. Halloween, however, didn't catch on until the late 19th century. Since then pumpkin carving at Halloween has become a North American tradition and a fun activity for children and adults alike. In the United States, long before its association with Halloween, the pumpkin was associated with harvesting, hence Thanksgiving. How to Select a Pumpkin for Cooking or Baking The best selection for a pumpkin to cook or bake is a pie pumpkin or sweet pumpkin. Pie or sweet pumpkins are smaller than the type of pumpkins used to carve jack-o-lanterns and the flesh is sweeter and not as watery. When selecting a pumpkin, look for a stem that is one to two inches. When the stem of a pumpkin is cut too low, the pumpkin will quickly decay or may already be decaying at time of purchase. Pumpkins should be heavy, and pumpkins that are blemished or have soft spots should be avoided. A pound of raw pumpkin usually constitutes one cup finished pumpkin puree. Other Pumpkin Facts •The size of pumpkins range from less than a pound to over 1,000 pounds, with the largest pumpkin ever grown weighing 1,689 pounds. •In 2006 the total U.S. pumpkin production was 1 billion pounds. Top states in pumpkin production are: California, Illinois, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.

Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas" John 1:42 NIV (which, when translated, is Peter). Both Cephas (Aramaic) and Peter (Greek) mean "rock" or "stone". I have always found it immeasurably comforting that Jesus gave Simon the name "Cephas," or Peter, before Cephas had done much of anything. Before Peter had even determined to follow Jesus, let alone serve him and love him as the Christ, before Peter had muttered his denials of knowing Jesus or had one of his moments of blurted insight, before Jesus had reason to call Peter "Satan," Jesus called him the "rock" (John 1:42). First, I believe it shouts of God's sovereignty. God knows who we are before we know ourselves. God can use us in spite of ourselves. God is sovereign over our failures and our successes. But secondly, it reminds us that we are more than the sum of our blunders and failings, as well as our victories and our bright spots. As the apostle Paul wrote to the Romans: "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). Before we had a chance to prove ourselves, before we had a chance to fall on our faces or say something smart, God knew that He would need to die for us, and did. Peter is the disciple that makes many of us feel okay. He is a loud statement to the hopeless, to the skeptic, and to the guilt-ridden that the Father can take our doubt, our regret, the hopelessness of our past or our present, and create in us something solid by giving us Himself. In Peter we also find that pains of regret and faithlessness may leave scars, but that scars can be powerful reminders of the living hope we profess: the Word that will not wither (See 1 Peter 24-25). Through Peter, God encourages the weary. Through our scars, Christ heartens us to see a God very much in control. Even so, when we look at our own moments of faithlessness or foolishness, our scars of humiliation, or the bitter sting of missed and lost opportunities, it is hard to see much beyond regret and remorse, even if we know Christ has forgiven us. Can there be more to see in the weight of our past, the pains of childhood and the wounds of life, the glimpses of guilty motives and poor behavior? The testimony of Scripture is that yes, very definitely, there is. For arguably, Peter's passion for Christ was largely shaped by that which the pain and humiliation of denying Jesus rightly reminded him: "If we are faithless, God remains faithful, for God cannot deny Himself" (2 Timothy 2:13). Our scars are similar. Some of my own scars simply remind me that I am alive, living within a fallen world, participating in this fragile thing called life. Some remind me that I am not an island, that I need people, that I desperately need a savior, that I need God in all that I face. Still others remind me that I am healed and being healed. But all of my scars can remind me, as they did Peter, of the sovereignty of God and the weight and responsibility of the hope which I profess. "Do you love me?" asks Jesus. "Yes, Lord," responds Peter. "Then feed my sheep." When Jesus appeared to the gathered, frightened disciples after his resurrection, he said to them, "See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me and see" (Luke 24:39). The frightened disciples had gathered together to discuss the rumors some had heard that Christ was alive and out of the grave, risen from the cruel death they witnessed days ago. They were disoriented and afraid, and Jesus said to them, "Look at my hands and my feet." And to Thomas, "Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side" (John 20:27). To his closest friends, Jesus said, "Look at my scars, see that it is me. Recognize me by my scars; they will point you to God." Christ was recognized by the scars that marked his body, and shouted of his love. As the powerful lyrics of musician Michael Card exclaim, "The marks of death that God chose never to erase/ The wounds of love's eternal war/ When the kingdom comes with its perfected sons/ He will be known by the scars." Like our own, but far beyond this, the scars of Christ point us to a sovereign God who goes great lengths to touch our disfigured world and scarred souls with his holy hands. As the prophet Isaiah proclaimed long ago, "He was crushed for our iniquities. By his stripes we are healed." No doubt, it was this piercing reality of Christ bearing the scars of our sin, carrying our pain, and taking our shame, that Peter bore in mind as he dynamically instructed, "Throw all your anxieties upon Him, because He cares about you" (1 Peter 5:7). For Peter, of all people, knew.

As the fall foliage starts to change, consider turning autumn leaves into decorative home accents. Colorful maple leaves in rich fall reds and coppers make beautiful centerpieces. Pile them into baskets and bowls and clusters them around lamp bases. Create leaf collages to frame or mount in shadowboxes—the possibilities go on and on. The key to leaf crafts though is to keep the leaves from crumbling, curling or turning brown. On an ironing board place the leaves between two sheets of wax paper with the waxy side on the leaf. Cover with brown paper (like a grocery bag) and iron on medium heat. The iron will melt the wax onto the leaf, preserving not only its shape but its color. And after the season is over, store the leaves in a cool, dry place for next year. Make pillar candles embellished with leaves the highlight of your table. Or arrange them on the mantel. Plan the leaf pattern on a flat surface. Brush a thin layer of craft glue onto each leaf and press onto pillar candles of various heights. Arrange candles on a tray and surround with loose leaves.

As he grew up and observed the poverty of his father, this boy, named Martin, chose to pursue a different vocation. The question he repeatedly wrote in his diary was: "How can a man find favor with God?" In search of such peace, Martin devoted himself to an exceedingly pious life-style. He would fast for ten to fifteen days at a time. When temperatures dropped below freezing, he slept outside without a blanket. Between his studies, he beat his body until it was black and blue and bleeding - hoping that somehow by punishing his flesh, he could rid himself of the thoughts and motives that he knew were not right (these were typical practices of the medieval church). He went to confession so many times a day that finally the abbot said, "Martin, either go out and commit a sin worth confessing or stop coming here so often!" Finally, in 1509, Martin decided to make a pilgrimage to Rome in hope of finding the elusive peace for which he longed. He set out on foot and crossed the Alps. On his descent, he almost died of a high fever before making his way to a monastery at the foot of the mountains. There the Brothers nursed him back to health. While there, a wise monk approached him and said, "You need to read the Book of Habakkuk." And so Martin did just that. He read Habakkuk. It was a good suggestion. Habakkuk was a struggler just like Martin, and like us today: If God is good, why does He allow suffering? If there really is a devil, why doesn't God just obliterate him? (When we throw out questions, we then plunge into our personal pursuits-and wonder why we don't get answers.) One verse captured Martin's imagination: Habakkuk 2:4. "The just shall live by faith." He couldn't get it out of his mind. Having recovered sufficiently to continue his journey to Rome, he went to the Church of St. John's Lateran, a typical cathedral of that day. There is a staircase there that is said to be from Pilate's judgment hall. The existing stairs are four parts: the special inner two are said to have been transported there miraculously from Jerusalem. The outer two are ordinary. The inner steps are not walked on. Here pilgrims mount painfully on their knees, a step at a time, saying prayers as they go. The pope had promised an indulgence to all who would undergo this rite. As Martin repeated his prayers on the Lateran staircase, Habakkuk 2:4 suddenly came into his mind: "the just shall live by faith." He ceased his prayers, returned to the University of Wittenberg, and went on to explore the revolutionary idea of "justification by faith." And with great deliberation, on October 31, 1517, Martin drove a stake into the heart of the prevailing pagan concepts by nailing his famous 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany, and started the movement known today as the Reformation - the single most important event in modern history. Appropriately, he did this on Halloween. His name, of course, was Martin Luther. The church leadership didn't like the implications of his views and ultimately, at the Diet (council) of Worms (a town) they excommunicated him as a heretic. He went on to write commentaries that are classics today; hymns like, "A Mighty Fortress is our God"; and translated the entire Bible into German, a classic which remains the literary masterpiece in the Germanic tongue. Now; you know the rest of the story ... and how you came to have your Protostant roots. Posted by ~ Lady Lazarus ~ at 10/23/2012 10:10:00 AM No comments: Links to this post Labels: Answers, Christian, Halloween, Martin Luther, Protostant If we will make certain that we study the Word every day, spend time in prayer and stay faithful in our lives, then we will naturally bear fruit. Our job is to stay connected to Jesus and allow His life and His love to flow out through our life towards others. What is a requirement for stewardship? What is promised to a faithful person? To become a faithful person, what are we told to consider, or think about? "His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!" Matthew 25:21 We often praise God for His faithfulness. We're thankful that we can always count on Him to be there for us. But we rarely consider the fact that He needs us to be faithful too. God needs people He can count on. He needs wise and trusted servants He can entrust over His household. In these last days, He needs faithful men and women to team up with, so He can show His power and goodness to the world more than ever. If there is any one characteristic or virtue that causes a person to stand out from the crowd and to receive God's undivided attention, it is faithfulness. When the Lord finds a faithful believer, He focuses His undivided attention upon him. Therefore, we believers should desire to develop the fruit of faithfulness because God is looking for this character quality in His people. OUR AGENDA OR HIS? So many times the reason Christians get into trouble and have unnecessary problems in life is that they don't want to spend time seeking the Lord. They want to make their own plans, and then they want God to bless their plans. But it doesn't work that way. Cultivating faithfulness in the smallest things will build the strength in you to stand through the big challenges of life. Take inventory ... Take an inventory as to where you are at. Check to see that you are moving in the direction of your calling and your priorities. Check your priorities to see that they are Word-focused and are aligned with the characteristics and examples set by Jesus, the author and the finisher of your faith. ... and trust Him ... Be patient as you fulfill God's plan for your life step by step. Even when things don't happen the way you think they should or when you think they should, faithfulness is what will bring you through to victory in God. ... no matter what the circumstances. There are times when it may seem so much easier to do something other than what God has said to do. But, oh, the rewards of faithfulness! When we say yes to God and we're faithful to do what He says to do, He is so faithful to us, and life works out so much better for us than we could ever have imagined. The answers may not come overnight, but if you will not be weary in well doing, in due season you shall reap, if you faint not. The Lord of Heaven wants to bring you into promotion, open doors of leadership and have you stand before kingdoms and declare God's greatness. Cultivating faithfulness in your life puts you in position to receive God's faithfulness to you in meeting your needs and brings protection from the attacks of the enemy. Faithfulness to God produces a heart that is full of faith towards Him no matter what the circumstances. Determine to be the kind of person God can trust to follow through, no matter what the inconvenience or discomfort. Stand fast and show that you mean business with God. God never fails... and neither should you.

In 1 Chronicles, we are told to give thanks to the Lord, call on His name and make known what He has done. Where do we make this known? 2. Thanks be to God because He gives us what through our Lord Jesus Christ? 3. According to 1 Thessalonians, when are we to give thanks? 4. We are to enter the Lord's courts with praise and His gates with what? Ps. 100:4 5. For what are we to give thanks for God the Father according to Ephesians 5? 6. In the NIV, in Luke 14, what 4 places did the master tell his servant to gather folks to come into his banquet? Luke 14:15--24 7. Do you know where this Passage of Scripture can be found? "For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline. So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord, or ashamed of me his prisoner. But join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God, who has saved us and called us to a holy life — not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time" (It's found in 2 Timothy 1:7-9) 8. If we are ashamed of Jesus and His words, what did He say He will be of us, when He comes in His glory? 9. Did you know that the Bible speaks of God's creation praising him? Well, it does. It says in Isaiah 55:12 that the_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and _ _ _ _ _ will burst into song, and that the _ _ _ _ _ * _ _ _ * _ _ _ _ * _ _ _ _ _ will clap their hands. 10. Do you know where this Verse can be found? "Above all, my brothers, do not swear—not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. Let your "Yes" be yes, and your "No," no, or you will be condemned". (It's found in James 5:12) How many different words can you make out of this one word? "The greatest proof of Christianity for others is not how far a man can logically analyze his reasons for believing, but how far in practice he will stake his life on his belief". -T. S.

The multilayer wiring board comprises a core substrate and two or more wiring layers provided on the core substrate through an electrical insulating layer. The core substrate has a plurality of throughholes filled with an electroconductive material, and the front side and back side of the core substrate have been electrically conducted to each other by the electroconductive material. The throughholes have an opening diameter in the range of 10 to 100 μm. An insulation layer and an electroconductive material diffusion barrier layer are also provided, and the electroconductive material is filled into the throughholes through the insulation layer. A first wiring layer provided through an electrical insulating layer on the core substrate is connected to the electroconductive material filled into the throughhole through via. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a partial longitudinal cross-sectional view showing one embodiment of the multilayer wiring board according to the present invention; Example 1 A silicon substrate having a thickness of 625 μm and a diameter of 150 mm was provided as a core material. A novolak positive-working resist material (PMER-P-LA900PM, manufactured by Tokyo Ohka Kogyo Co., Ltd.) was coated onto one side of the core material, and the assembly was exposed and developed through a photomask for throughhole formation. Thus, mask patterns having four types of circular openings respectively with diameters of 10 μm, 30 μm, 70 μm, and 100 μm were formed. More specifically, a mask pattern having circular openings with a diameter of 10 μm provided at pitches of 20 μm, a mask pattern having circular openings with a diameter of 30 μm provided at pitches of 60 μm, a mask pattern having circular openings with a diameter of 70 μm provided at pitches of 150 μm, and a mask pattern having circular openings with a diameter of 100 μm provided at pitches of 200 μm were formed. Example 2 The same core material as used in Example 1 was first provided, and a plurality of pores were formed in the core material by ICP-RIE dry etching. The depth of the pores was about 350 μm. Example 3 The same core material as used in Example 1 was first provided. Throughholes were formed in the core material in the same manner as in Example 1. Example 4 A core substrate (a core substrate as shown in FIG. 2) of which the front side and back side have been electrically conducted to each other by filled copper plating was prepared in the same manner as in Example 3, except that an electroconductive base layer formed of a laminate of a 30 nm-thick titanium layer and a 200 nm-thick copper layer was formed by using vapor deposition instead of sputtering, and a filled plating solution having the following composition was used. Example 5 The same core material as used in Example 1 was first provided. Throughholes were formed in the core material in the same manner as in Example 1. Example 6 A core substrate (a core substrate as shown in FIG. 2) of which the front side and back side have been electrically conducted to each other by filled copper plating, was prepared in the same manner as in Example 5, except that an electroconductive base layer formed of a laminate of a 30 nm-thick titanium layer and a 200 nm-thick copper layer was formed by using vapor deposition instead of sputtering, and the same filled plating solution as in Example 4 was used. Example 7 The same core material as used in Example 1 was first provided. Throughholes were formed in the core material in the same manner as in Example 1. Example 8 The same core material as used in Example 1 was first provided, and a plurality of pores were formed in the core material by ICP-RIE dry etching. The depth of the pores was about 350 μm. Example 9 The same core material as used in Example 1 was first provided, and throughholes were formed in the core material in the same manner as in Example 1. Comparative Example 1 The formation of a core substrate followed by the preparation of a multilayer wiring board was carried out in the same manner as in Example 2, except that the order of the formation of the electroconductive material diffusion barrier layer and the formation of the insulation layer was reversed. Comparative Example 2 The preparation of a core substrate followed by the preparation of a multilayer wiring board was carried out in the same manner as in Example 5, except that any second insulation layer was not formed. INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY As described above, the present invention is useful for the manufacture of various multilayer wiring board and electronic equipment and the like.

And so, I sew: Gifting season The season of gifting is upon us again and for me it starts with a few pre-Christmas birthdays.This little skirt was part of a gift that also included the tiered Grand Revival skirt I blogged here, and a matching appliqued T that I didn't take a pic of.It's a super-simple pattern by Kwik Sew - 3055; and is a straight-fronted, elastic-backed skirt.I decided to make the waist adjustable and picked up some button-hole elastic to do it with.It was easy to do - just make a button hole on the front piece of the skirt close to the side seams, prior to turning over the waistband.Then sew a button in front of the button hole, thread the elastic through the waist and hook onto the buttons.That way you can pull more elastic through to make it tighter or set to a looser fit just by playing around with the elastic.In doing this I hope that the little girl it is for will get a little more wear out of it.There are a few more on the cutting table getting read for Christmas. I love it Karen. I wish I had bought some of that apple fabric too. Love the idea of buttonhole elastic for the waist. That's so cute!!! I haven't tried button hole elastic yet. Karen I love it too and I haven't tried that elastic yet either What a cool skirt! And that's a great idea using the buttonhole elastic. Perfect for gifts when you're unsure of sizing. Love the skirt! I am sure the recipient will love it too! Great idea about the buttonhole elastic. I have some in my stash but have been too scared to use it! Great skirt Karen, I have always wanted to do a flat front, elastic back skirt, now I know a good pattern. so cute...I recognised that fabric! I haven't been by your blog for a long time and now I need to catch up!everyone is growing fast!Corrie;) Ahhh wish I had seen your post before I finished DS' shorts, I was having a real dilemma trying to figure out how to make the elastic adjustable, oh well thanks for posting - now I will try that for the next pair :)I have a heap of pants from pumpkin patch with these type of waist bands and never thought to do that *duh*:) You just reminded me that I have some of that button hole elastic! Whoops! What a lovely blog you have - came here from Hoppo Bumpo. How do you manage to make so much cool stuff and look after 3 littlees - I feel I need to lift my game somewhat :) Looking forward to reading more I too have come across from Hoppo and am looking forward to sitting down with a cuppa and reading through some of your old posts. I've stuck you on my blogroll so I'll be back for more. Love your skirt! The flat front is a great idea to showcase a fabric pattern.Cheers, Lynda Hi there, I came here through dear molly as you mentioned you had a ottobre subscription and I am expecting one for Christmas.(yay!)I love this skirt, and have enjoyed reading through your blog. I am fairly new to sewing so it's good to get some inspiration from those who have so much talent.

Everything was great! Joanna is a wonderful hostess. We will remember our evenings in this wonderful house. Thanks, Joanna.

We will never forget…remembering Dennis O’Berg | Rich Girl, Poor Girl We will never forget…remembering Dennis O’Berg Last year, for the tenth anniversary of the attacks on our country, I was humbled to get comments from people who knew Dennis and loved him. They all expressed thanks that someone was remembering him in this way, but it is my honor to post this every year. There have been so many developments in the war on terror since the day the Twin Towers fell, but at the heart of it will always be the fact that there were thousands of heroes made on that day and that hundreds and hundreds of emergency workers from across the FDNY, the NYPD, and the PAPD went to work that day to do their jobs and never made it home. It our job to remember them always. Below is my original post. Ken Schwartz on September 11, 2012 at 8:38 pm said: Thank you for continuing to honor my old coworker and friend. He was always funny and someone you enjoyed being around! God rest his soul.

Poseidon Awoke: Pathologizing Whiteness. This 'White Privilege' notion is simply the pathologization of whiteness. We've seen feminists engaged in the pathologization of masculinity for decades. This is simply the Marxist Critical Theory taken to its logical conclusion. Marx recognized that you can divide any group into oppressed and oppressor. For him, in a homogenous population, this dividing line was class. For the feminists the dividing line is gender. For 'anti-racists' the dividing line is between whiteness and non-whiteness. This is why many refer to this process as 'Cultural Marxism', which is Marxist critical theory applied to all aspects of society and culture. It's not hard to see that all of these critical theories applied to every aspect of society simply increase the fractures and divisions between groups of humans. Obviously, these dividing lines are the focus of all their efforts. As the fractures are pressured, we see social cohesion dissolve, resulting in the atomization of society, where individuals are alienated from the larger group identity and begin to act solely in self-interest. While 'anti-racists' claim to be working to bring us together, their actions lead inevitably to division. They teach non-whites to hate whites. They teach whites to hate themselves. They teach whites to hate whites who do not hate whites. 'White Privilege' is a message of hate and division. Unfortunately, there does not appear to be any way to stop this process, until we reach a point where all social cohesion breaks down. So, believe in 'White Privilege' if you hate whites and want to hasten a race war, or you can choose to be a peace-maker and tell these idiots to go find something useful to do.

Families R Built with Love: The good, the bad and the crazy! Well right off the top, life is crazy! Last week I was in the Big City the last 3 days of the week for work. I had to leave home before the kids got up and returned not too much before the littles went to bed. Plus Rob was gone. They were not amused. They let us know. This week has its own crazy. We have moved on to the next room requiring renovations. Our front hall, poor neglected room. It is 12 x 12 and the paper is at least 20 years old. Probably longer. Which means it should strip off easily off the old horsehair plaster walls. And it does. . . except where it has bonded like a glacier pressed it into place. I spent most of the weekend devoting time to the stripping process. The next 2 days I have work at my usual office. Wednesday we have our annual 4th of July BBQ with some close friends who are also godparents to our tribe. Thursday I work till noon and then leave to take the kids camping through Sunday. Another set of close friends and I do this annually and it is a blast. But that also means there should be camping prep in there somewhere. So far, camping prep has consisted of a pile of clothes for the littles that I put in my room. I think I need a bit more than that to make this work! Rob and his girlfriend are going out on Tuesday night, so there will be transport and time involved in that. We have a double order of piece work to get done for the factory so my fingers are flying at night when everyone except Rob and I have gone to bed. We created the invitations for KC and Lissa's summer party (to be held on 8/25) and I need to spend some time figuring out the logistics of that. Some stuff is in place but there will be lots of kids so we need a wide variety of things to do. But you know what? Some how, most of it will happen. And it will be good!

Encinitas Undercover: August 2010 Cardiff Kook makes front page of Wall Street Journal Tomorrow's news today.Tuesday's WSJ features the Kook.How come they never covered the Scripps Turd? That's Tony Kranz manning the Stone kegs at the Leucadia ArtWalk beer garden. Maggie Houlihan was enjoying the music there as well.Dan Dalager was the conductor on the London-style double-decker bus shuttling people to Leucadia from the train station.When you see the council people around town, they seem like good, regular people. It's hard to see them as the same people who sold us out to the city unions, stonewall on public document requests, and got involved in that bitter harassment fiasco. Bike tire massacre in the 101 Puncture Lane this morning. The city and NCTD are still doing nothing about the invasive, non-native goat head puncture vines. 7026 Estrella del Mar, La Costa. For sale by owner, who was last seen in a 7-11 in Oklahoma.Elsewhere around town today,two bicyclists broken down on the Vulcan Puncture Path. One reported 20 goat head punctures in his tire. So far NCTD and the Encinitas Parks and Rec Department appear to be doing exactly nothing about it.You too, Dan! An ill wind blows for good ol' boys from Washington D.C. to Encinitas this November.Rancho Tyvek Estates. Reportedly just sold. No construction action yet.The top of the bike / running trail between the golf course and El Camino Real. The path starts across the street from Quail Gardens.I hadn't heard of this train death, and couldn't find anything about it online. Somebody apparently either suspects foul play or needs more evidence for a lawsuit vs. NCTD. Dalager: it's OK to build an illegal rock wall on public property as long as you give me $1400 worth of kitchen appliances for $150 The Union-Trib has the goods on Dan Dalager and his sweetheart kitchen deal from Aztec Appliance, whose owners Matthew and Robin Gordon were contesting a violation before the city council.Maggie says she was offered a free refrigerator but turned it down. Even Stocks had enough sense to recuse himself.I'd like to see a prosecution.State law prohibits elected officials from accepting any gift or combination of gifts from the same source worth more than $420 in any one year. Dalager reported accepting no appliance gifts in 2009, on state-required disclosure forms.The scary thing is the only way this came to light is that Dalager went blabbing about his free kitchen to a reporter. How many good old boys are on the take but not so loose-lipped?Dalager doesn't even have a campaign web site up. Is he phoning in the election because he thinks he can't lose, or can't win?HT: Leucadia Blog. In the great American tradition of Publius, our anonymous fellow Encinitans at HoodLink have published again to strike a blow for good government. In this issue: I-5 expansion, Barth coverage in the U-T, Quail Gardens, and Maggie's been hanging with the bad boys.August 2010 HoodLink Subscribe for free by emailing subject "subscribe" to stoprezoning@yahoo.com The more I learn about Encinitas politicians, the more brilliant and accurate this Leucadia Blog City Council Guide seems.I haven't figured out who Tony Kranz is yet, but I'm pretty sure Kristin Gaspar is Tracy Flick, the Reese Witherspoon character in Election. Here.My favorite part?Transparency in government and full citizen participation in the decision making process is critical to our success as a City.I have been principled and conservative in how our tax dollars are spent. I fully support public employee pension reform.Tranparency in government and reform of employee pensions. That's a pretty good campaign platform. And it's interesting that Barth, widely viewed as a green Democrat, is running as a fiscal conservative -- and rightly so! The Republicans on the council have been anything but fiscally conservative.I hope the other candidates will follow Teresa's lead in starting to discuss issues. One candidate doesn't appear to have any campaign information online, and another has a web site that's very long on bio ("one time, at band camp...") and a big zilch on issues. Starting now. Come on down! The band is an Irishy rock band called Scelpin (sp?). Barthy & Houlihan are here. Council races in a nutshell: Kristin Gaspar, Dan Dalager, Teresa Barth, Tony Kranz These are goat head thorns:Whether you call it goat head, stickers, puncture vine, or sand bur, this plant is about the most obnoxious weed on the planet. It produces tiny goat head shaped burs that poke the foot and flatten bicycle tires. A large patch of them can even flatten the tires on a small car.Puncture Vine is an invasive species of plant that originally came from Europe. The botanical name is Tribulus terrestris. This fast growing annual sends out a low forming, dense mat of tiny leaflets. The stems can grow up to 6 feet in length, covering large areas in a matter of a couple of months. They bloom in the early summer, producing tiny 5 petaled yellow flowers. The fruit of the puncture vine looks like a spiny 5 sided Maltese cross. After the individual fruit bursts open, it releases the goat head thorns. The bike paths along the east side of 101 and west side of Vulcan between Encinitas and Leucadia Boulevards are absolutely infested with them. The photo above was after a very short jog along the path.Goat heads will go straight through bike tires and give you multiple punctures. Tony Kranz hit them a couple weeks ago, and more recently an entire family's tires were massacred out on the same paths.The city needs to remove this invasive, non-native species ASAP. Don't ask what's on the roof. ... and it looks like it might even pass.Amid growing frustration over mounting garbage in the Pacific Ocean, California is poised to become the first state in the nation to ban plastic shopping bags.A bill by Assemblywoman Julia Brownley, D-Santa Monica, would bar grocery, convenience and liquor stores around the state from bagging items with plastic throwaway bags, with the goal of encouraging shoppers to bring their own reusable cloth bags.Shoppers who didn't bring their own bags would need to purchase recycled paper bags, for a nickel apiece, to bag their groceries. [...]The bill has the support of environmentalists and grocers, and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has indicated he will sign it if it reaches his desk. The plastic industry opposes the measure.[...]Steve Aceti, executive director for the California Coastal Coalition ---- which represents 35 coastal cities, five coastal counties and three regional associations across the state ---- said the group once preferred the recycling approach to a ban. Aceti said, however, that campaigns to encourage more recycling haven't made a significant dent in the problem."So many of these bags are showing up on beaches and in the ocean, and flying around in our communities," Aceti said. "It's just time for a solution, and that is a ban on a product that has outlived its usefulness."He said it is time that Californians change their habits."We should start doing what people in Europe and other countries do, and bring our own bags to the store," he said.I'm usually opposed to nanny state legislation, but this is kind of like smoking on airplanes. It's just common sense to me. Plastic bags are a real environmental problem, both in the production and the disposal, and they are of no benefit to consumers relative to more environmentally friendly alternatives.Houlihan and Barth are on board:[Activist Gina] Goodhill was joined at a news conference by Encinitas Councilwomen Teresa Barth and Maggie Houlihan, who support the bill."It's going to help us keep plastic bags off our beaches," Barth said. The Leucadia Blog has been covering the unwelcome Sprint/Clearwire WiMax antennas coming to the Cabo Grill.Today the Coast News has a story on Dr. Dan Harper, who tried to speak out against the antennas but was told the city's hands were tied by federal law: Dr. Dan Harper, M.D., was among the first to arrive at the Encinitas City Council meeting the evening of July 21. Carrying a 12-inch stack of medical journal articles about the health risks of electromagnetic field, or EMF, radiation, he was there to speak on behalf of his patient, Michael Schwaebe.Schwaebe was appealing the placement of WiMAX towers on the site of the former Cabo Grill at Coast Highway 101 and La Costa Avenue. WiMAX is often referred to as “a cell tower on steroids.” [...]Harper said he was frustrated, but not surprised, that he was unable to complete his presentation.It would have been illegal.The wireless industry is protected by Article 704 of the Telecommunications Act signed by President Clinton in 1996 which prohibits arguments of potential health risks from communications towers to be made at public hearings, even if they are legitimate.I don't know about the science behind the dangers of WiMax, but given the choice, I probably wouldn't live next to a WiMax tower. Permit me to make an ideological point, though. This is what you get when you vote for Senators and Congresscritters who don't believe in limited government: you get heavy-handed orders from Washington saying locals have no control over what goes on in their towns, in their states, or in their private lives.Read the Constitution. Pay special attention to the Bill of Rights. Then go vote for someone who has read it too. Posted by AAII investor meeting with CEOs of local public companies Leucadia's own Chris Girand is the president of the San Diego chapter of the American Association of Individual Investors, and he's kicking off a series of chapter events with a big meeting with management from four local public companies:The first of a new series of meetings featuring publicly traded companies domiciled in our own backyard will be held on October 2nd at the Scottish Rite center in Mission Valley. The meeting will run from 9:30 A.M. - 12:00 P.M. We'll meet with upper management of four profitable companies that share our San Diego roots. The floor will be open for discussion.Andrew S. Clark / CEO / Bridgepoint Educations (NYSE: BPI)Greg Garrabrants / CEO / Bank of Internet (Nasdaq: BOFI)Gwen Rosenberg / Vice-President / Senomyx (Nasdaq: SNMX)John M. Heffner / CFO / PriceSmart (Nasdaq: PSMT)It's open to non-members. Cost is $5 to cover facilities and parking. Cardiff's Ken Harrison, writing in the Coast News Aug. 6 dead tree edition, apparently not available online, reminds us that people can still get together to get things done themselves rather than waiting for government action.Folks in Encinitas are known for their roll-up-the-sleeves attitude, taking matters into their own hands, and getting community projects done. Prior to cityhood, local chapters of the Elks, Optimists, Soroptimists, Kiwanis, Lions, and other service clubs personally built almost every ball field in the area.Twenty-seven years ago, Cardiff residents raised money and poured 1.2 miles of sidewalk along Birmingham Drive because the county refused to build a sidewalk on the busy thoroughfare. They financed the construction by selling one-foot squares where "owners" could put handprints and messages in the wet cement.Such was the case recently for a band of 40 Crest Drive residents. In an act of "independence" on the July 4 holiday weekend, after waiting six years for the city of Encinitas to landscape the unsightly northwest corner of Crest Drive at Santa Fe Drive, residents took matters into their own hands.He goes on to detail how 40 residents donated a little time and money to landscape the corner. If the city had done it, it would no doubt have cost 10 times as much and required fat contracts with city council cronies and many hours of studies by bloated-pension-getting city workers.This is one of the things I love about Encinitas. The community spirit of the people has not yet been crushed by the bureaucrats and the public employee unions. That's becoming harder and harder to find these days.And I bet you didn't even think of yourself as an anarchist. Suzy Brown resurfaces as "Suzy Tesla" at "XP Vortex" pitching free energy and Usana multi-level marketing I am not making this up.Thanks to Anonymous for the tip. Someone who looks an awful lot like Monster House Suzy Brown has shown up as "Suzy Tesla" with a web site called "XP Vortex." The XP Vortex was the brainchild of a dream to spend more quality time with loved ones and be financially free to pursue my passions. I also wanted to create a business that would do the very same thing for others… a self-propelling business to free YOU financially. If you want to make a lot of money, first you need a dream or a passion about what you would do with the money. Then dream about your dream, visualize it, feel it, taste it, enjoy it. Not only WILL it happen, it MUST happen. That is how the Laws of Universe work. For me, my dream is about following in Nicola Tesla’s footsteps in recreating his dream for ‘Free Energy.’ What is Free Energy? Believe it or not, we can produce unlimited amounts of energy without consuming any fossil fuels, gases, masses, or even sunlight. No pollution and nothing gets consumed in the process. We can heat homes, drive cars, and power our homes without relying on a man-made ‘energy’ sources. Nicola Tesla, the inventor of electricity and wireless communication, almost finished his most important invention of all, Free Energy that could be transmitted everywhere in the world. JP Morgan pulled the plug over 100 years ago when he realized his investments in oil, coal, electricity and even the railroads would become worthless and obsolete. Never again. The XP Vortex is designed to fuel the research, development and engineering of Free Energy indefinitely. This is my dream and my life’s purpose. What’s yours?I'm not sure how you get free energy from your run-of-the-mill multi-level-marketing scheme, but here's the pitch.I hope the MLM investors do better than the Olivenhain rehab facility investors did! Yeah, the prosecutors screwed up, but they get a do-over:Prosecutors will refile charges against Suzy Brown, the woman accused of stripping $1 million worth of lavish fixtures from the foreclosed home her Encinitas neighbors dubbed the "monster house," according to a deputy district attorney.Superior Court Judge Aaron Katz dismissed felony theft and vandalism charges against Brown on Thursday after a preliminary hearing at the Vista Courthouse.Katz said Deputy District Attorney Robert Eacret had shown evidence at the hearing that Brown, 45, had taken truckloads of toilets, windows and appliances from the Olivenhain mansion after she moved out in March 2009, but the judge said he had to dismiss the charges on a technicality.Eacret, the judge said, presented little evidence that a foreclosure was complete and a bank owned the house when the fixtures disappeared.A certified deed recorded by the county could not be admitted into evidence as an official record, the judge ruled.

Aegis-Illustration's Journal | DeviantArt www.aegis-strife.net View Badges! Watch Search Journals Manip Academy #10: Blending Fire Mon Apr 25, 2016, 8:29 AM There is an easy, fast way to blend fire into any scene. This won't work in some cases but on average is a nice method to make a basic and realistic blending. Here, we will create a body out of fire. This is our base composition: What you need to do is to place your favorite fire photos (preferably on dark/black backgrounds) on Screen blending mode. At first sight there's something missing, and that is the dark areas of the fire, which are muted due to our blending mode. Create a new layer between the fire layers and your subject and use the Brush tool with medium Opacity and Flow and black color (a dark brown/orange might work as well, depending on your background and color settings) to bring back the dark parts of the fire. Use the Eraser to get rid of any strokes that go beyond the fire itself. A pen tablet is highly recommended to make this process more accurate. Create another layer, pick an orange tone of your choice, similar to the midtones of the fire, and create a radial foreground to transparent gradient, parting from the center of the fire to the opposite corner, and then use again Soft Light to tint your new lighting. Don’t forget to paint the light reflections on the model as well as adding sparks, particles, and other cool stuff that will bring our fire to life. Again, it will be easier if you have them photographed on dark background to use the Screen blending mode. This could be our final result: Obviously, you can go further with this process, which may vary depending on your image settings! Have fun experimenting! 23 Comments Adobe Photoshop Workshop: Make It Layered! by Aegis-Illustration, Feb 12, 2016, 6:38:02 AM Journals / Deviant Events February 18, 20161:00 pm - 2:00 pm CET (UTC+01:00)Discover the unlimited power of Create Your Own Assets - feeling and capturing the inspiration of the world that surrounds you in this Photoshop Workshop.Mario Sánchez Nevado has offered to tell us all in a masterclass that you just can’t miss!

It seems that I have not been very active around here at least referring to posting journals lately, but it's been for a good reason of a work and creativity overload, plus journals here seem to go a bit of invisible about dA lately as I see...So, I had a great photo shoot last month in the forests of La Granja (Segovia / Spain), and I arranged an article explained a bit how to do an outdoors photo shoot in a lush forest with your models, and having even them to pose for you at under 0 celsius degrees. I think it might be instructive for those who are playing with photo manipulation and digital art and want to create their own resources to avoid licenses and such when using stock. I'm planning to create a series of this kind of articles, hoping that the may be useful for some of you! More to come, then!

Además, habrá una sala habilitada donde se proyectarán mis cortometrajes "Monsters", "Fatigue", "Deformatorium" y "The Migration". ¡Luego podréis tomaros una copa con nosotros, que invita la casa! ¡Que no mordemos, lo prometo! El "I Encuentro sobre Arte y Psicología de la UDIMA" es el resultado final de una actividad didáctica transversal desarrollada conjuntamente entre los estudiantes de las asignaturas "Psicología Diferencial" (Grado en Psicología) y "Movimientos Artísticos y Tendencias Estéticas" (Grado en Periodismo), bajo la coordinación de los profesores de la UDIMA, Rodolfo Gordillo y Carmen Hidalgo. Durante el curso, los estudiantes de ambas asignaturas han analizado las particularidades artísticas y variables psicológicas de un joven pintor contemporáneo, Mario Sánchez Nevado, con el objetivo de plantear un conjunto de hipótesis que relacionen su personalidad con su forma de trabajar. El "I Encuentro sobre Arte y Psicología de la UDIMA", de carácter presencial, concluye esta actividad acogiendo dos mesas redondas que profundizarán, no sólo en la obra y temperamento del autor invitado, sino también en una serie de pintores consagrados como Van Gogh, Munch o Dalí. La exposición "Reflejos del Subconsciente despierto", producida por el propio Mario, pone el broche de oro a las jornadas (posibilidad de comprar obra certificada). Programa1ª Jornada: Viernes, 31 de mayo de 2013 19:00 horas. Mesa Redonda: Claves artísticas y psicológicas de un pintor contemporáneo (Mario Sánchez Nevado, Prof. Dr. Rodolfo Gordillo, Prof. Dra.

Giger, father of creations such as the original Alien of the films saga, among others. But... you sure know him, already! The documentary has been produced by Melez Artworks, and during the process he contacted some artists (Jose María Picón, Luis Manuel Santiago, and yours truly) to talk about the influence and other aspects of the work of Giger in modern art. So if you have a spare half an hour, I recommend you to check this out, as it's a beautiful crafted video that you're going to die for specially if you're in love with Giger, Alien or dark art in general. Plus, I make two appeareances talking about him, so it's your chance to meet me in video!I hope you enjoy it!P.S.: The video is in Spanish, thought!

Crank up the Asay: December 2012 I experienced something terrible the other day. Nobody over the age of eighteen ever really wants there to be any evidence laying around that they were once in their early teens, but, unless they kept an embarrassing diary or had a binder full of pictures of Orlando Bloom or something, it's not likely that anything is really going to turn up to haunt them when they're an adult. Now, I loosely fit under the category of what can technically be called an 'artist', which means that I spent a lot of my early teens drawing. I can't ever really bring myself to get rid of old drawings because they represent a part of my growth process. Of course, this means that I have a whooole lot of regrettable and embarrassing things from that time period that have not been destroyed. This is cringe-inducing sometimes, yes, but I can usually just accept that these things exist but can assure myself that they will never be seen and move on. And then there was my experience from the other day... It went a little something like this: Now, there is a slight chance that I'm still safe and that they ended up in a box in my parents currently inaccessible basement, but I quite honestly have no idea. The uncertainty is agonizing. So I'm going to be in hiding for a while. Just to be safe. No, I'm not overreacting. Posted by

My Life! Teaching in a Korean University: Classroom Management This is a great idea. What do you do when they lose their books? I saw a presentation at the last KOTESOL International Conference on using stamps for participation points. The presenters made ID cards for every student and stamped the cards throughout the class period. Another option was giving the students point cards throughout the class for participation, speaking only English, cooperation etc. The points were added up at the end of the class and recorded. The presenters found students were more motivated to participate in class because they could physically see the points being passed out. I'm thinking of trying one of these methods next semester. For now, I have a seating chart for each class (helps me learn their names) and I put check marks on the seating chart to keep track of participation. I usually record the number of stamps at least twice a semester (sometimes three times) in case they lose their papers. At mid-term I look, and maybe near the end of the course as well.

Sabah Bah – Highland Excursion (Desa Cattle Dairy Farm, Poring Hot Spring, Tagal Sg. Moroli, Sabah Tea) – ZaraAB Travel This is definitely the highlight of the day. I told FF and stressed a few times that I will not board the flight without visiting this place! New Zealand is just too far from KL and a trip to this Moo Moo Land here in Sabah would be just fine for me. Desa Cattle Dairy Farm is located just 15 to 20 minutes away from the Kundasang main junction. If you are wondering how was the road condition heading to this place, it is mostly paved but towards the end, you will then experienced a gravel road which is well maintained. Fret not, a standard car could actually afford this condition. Nothing to be worried about. The road to Desa Cattle Dairy Farm To visit the farm, plan your journey and just make sure of the visiting hour which it is open daily from 8am to 5pm with an entry fees of RM5 for an adult and RM4 for kids. We knew that we’ve reached the farm when we saw a group of Holstein-Freisian cows typically black and white in colour imported all the way from New Zealand, munching on a green grass with the beautiful landscape of Mount Kinabalu. There are also Saanen Goats Breed reknown from the high quality of milk. To no surprised, we then realized the reason why this place is called the ‘New Zealand of Sabah’. We get to know that visitor are always welcome to buy Desa fresh milk and many other dairy products such as yogurt, ice cream, various flavours of pudding and many others. But just bear in mind that the queue can be wayyy too long! We couldn’t denied that the have one of the best ice cream, fresh milk and pudding here. We love everything that we had and we wanted to go for a second round, but there were sold out very fast. We were made to know that visitors could actually experience and see how cows being milked, how milk is processed and packing activities (at certain time and day) besides enjoying the weather and the beautiful view. There are other activities such as feeding the calves with bottled milk and feeding the goats with grass. This make it as an ideal destination for the whole family. This farm offers one of the most amazing scenery. Hence, before leaving, let’s take a shot of the majestic landscape of the farm with Mount Kinabalu. Poring Hot Spring Next in the list is the Poring Hot Spring. For those who are driving here, it is accessible via Ranau Road as it is located just in average of 20km from Ranau and 40km away from Mount Kinabalu. Hot spring is not the only attraction here. There is so many others thing that we can do here too. A conservation fees of RM3.00 were charge to the visitors. The crossing bridge towards the Hot Spring area As we didn’t plan to get wet, we then opt for one of the pool there to dip our feet. The hotness level? Oh my! Couldn’t defined! It was super duper hot. I spent my time there with my mum as FF and my sister are making their way to the canopy walkway. After almost 30 minutes, it feels soothing as the feet becomes fresh and clean enough. Oh ya, there are dozens of bath tubs around the area and the standard bath tubs could actually accommodate at least 2 adults. And there are also indoor / enclosed bath tubs for those who are modest or wanting some privacy. The Hot Spring outdoor pool Meanwhile, FF and my sis is making their way to explore the Poring Canopy Walkway. The best part is that they experienced a bird’s eye view of the rainforest from about 30 to 40 metres height. Tagal Sg. Moroli Tagal Sg. Morali is a unique place located at Kg. Luanti, Ranau. In the local Kadazan Dusun dialect, ‘tagal’ actually means ‘no fishing’ and the main reason of ‘tagal’ is to preserve the ecosystem and environment to benefit future generation. Basically, we had experienced this before years back in Kuala Medang, Kuala Lipis Pahang. But,this is proven the best place ever as they actually won the Malaysia River Care Awards under the supervision of Fisheries Department of Sabah. We were told by the villagers that the species are called as ‘Ikan Pelian’ or Malaysian Mahseer and these fishes are trained to perform the healing messages. Sounds weird huh? But that’s the truth! Believe it or not? Sabah Tea On our way back from all these places that we have visited, we then saw a signage showing the direction to the Sabah Tea Garden which was never in our itinerary. FF convinced us that a short visit won’t do any harm. So here we are! This plantation doesn’t make any different from the one in the Peninsular (referring to Cameron Highland) except that this is the only organic tea farm in Borneo and one of the few in the world. Yes, in the world! They do provide a whole range of accommodation from a long house, a campsite or even a cosy cottage or bungalow. We didn’t spend soo much time here but we did had our quick-lunch and a sip of a fresh iced tea! Phewww! Oh ya, we bought a full bags of tea for our families and friends back home. Kundasang Town Before heading back to Kota Kinabalu town, we roamed around by the Kundasang town roadside just to see the fresh fruits, vegetables and even flowers collected within the highland area. Nahhh, we didn’t buy anything eventhough there are way too cheap! With all the places that we have been (which includes our previous entry too), that basically sums up our highland excursion away from the Kota Kinabalu town where all the places are surrounded by pristine rainforests, beautiful surroundings and a cool mountain air. We still remembered that we were shivering all night long! And all this places gave us totally a new experienced!

We get anxious about the future. Life is full of uncertainty. We are often worried about a problem or a decision. So it is good to ask, “What is the worst thing that could happen?” and “How would I deal with it if that happened?” That is plan C. For when none of our hopes or expectations work out. Then we are prepared and we are less anxious. It might be unpleasant but we can deal with it. Fortunately, it is rare that the worst possible thing actuallyhappens. But if we are prepared for the worst, we can handle anything that does come up. If we have ADD or ADHD we need these strategies to cope. Of course, they can help anyone, ADD or not. The book is on the 16th draft and should be coming out in September. The illustrations are in and Juan did a great job.

Sassafras: April 2008 I'm not sure where to start this since this is something I usually don't talk about much, but here goes. Today I got the results of another thyroid test and it's good news. I'm normal!I'm sure most of you don't know that a few years back I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism caused by a toxic multinodular goiter. All that means is that a few lumps in my neck decided to go rogue and released more hormone than normal. The first time I noticed something was wrong was early into my college career, but I simply brushed it aside blaming my changes on the stress of school. I'm a pretty stubborn girl, so I ignored the signs and symptoms for a very, very long time until my levels were six times higher than the amount they should be. So I had dealt with hot flashes, the hand tremors, the overwhelming anxiety, the utter exhaustion, the increase in appetite and weight changes for over a year before my mom finally made me go to the doctor. By this time the heart palpitations were starting to kick in and I'd had enough of feeling so awkward in social situations that I finally went. Fun fact: for such a small organ, the thyroid affects the majority of cells in the body. A few tests later showed the nodules, and that's when I went through a simple treatment where they ablated my thyroid. It wasn't a demanding treatment at all... I just had to swallow a blue pill and stay away from people for a few days while the radioactive iodine flushed through my system. FYI: Your pee does NOT glow in the dark if you've been exposed to radiation. I checked. Well, the treatment of what I had causes the exact opposite problem, hypothyroidism, but it is easily managed with hormone replacement meds. That was the summer of 2006.My story brings me to a month ago. I started to notice the same change that by now I am very familiar with. I noticed the anxiety return, the tremors come back, the tiredness sink in, the blunted thought process, and the most embarrassing bright red splotchy rash run across my chest, neck, and face. Basically not myself. So I stopped taking the meds, made the appointment with the doc and as I said earlier the results came back normal. AND it looks like my thyroid function is working well enough on its own that I don't have to take anything for it!Now you're probably thinking, Jackie, that's great! And I couldn't agree with you more. I've never been happier to be wrong. So it looks like there can't be bad news then? And it's true, there can't be much of something bad if the results are so good. The thing that's bothering me is that I'm realizing that the struggles with school, the struggles with church, the struggles with myself, they are all taking a noticeable toll.So to try and alleviate some of that, I've been getting my house in order, so to speak. I've been trying to take more care of my physical self (and I have some amazing friends here that are helping me stick to that). After a long drought, I now go to church and I'm working on things that I know I need to (a whole other story). And I'm trying to not let the small things get me down so much. Now, this is a new thing for me, being so honest and open and now feeling slightly vulnerable, but I felt like I needed to have sharing time. Not sure why just yet, but hopefully you get something from this.side note: this week I completed the most dreaded oral exams, where I sat down with one of the faculty members and was grilled for an hour about stuff I've been learning the past year. For one of my diseases I had to explain in detail hypothyroidism. At the end of it I just wanted to yell out, NAILED IT, SUCKA! Apparently, that's frowned down upon, so I settled with a hand shake and a grin. I was scrolling through pictures I've taken since last May, and I happened to stumble across these gems. I'm thinking I took these during one of my super late night study sessions as a stunt to finagle sympathy from the parents. My plan was to send them the first picture with a ransom note reading "Send $1,000,000,000,000 and a box of Girl Scout Cookies or else her face stays this way."Since I already had the camera out I thought it a perfectly good waste not to take more.... which led me to this.I like to believe that one day, when all my little grand kids tenderly gather around, I can show them these and lovingly tell them that Crazy runs in their genes, and they've got deal with it. Let me introduce you to my friend Shelly.A few weeks back this dear friend of mine from college and I took some time away from our busy schedules and met up in DC during the Cherry Blossom Festival. We spent hours enjoying the perfect weather and perfect timing because ALL of the trees were in bloom. She served her mission in Japan, which made it all the more interesting to stroll along the Tidal Basin while listening to her stories of the times she's celebrated spring with beautiful blossoms thousands of miles away. It was even better to meet Charlie, her baby boy, and get to know Dave, her husband, a bit better. I don't know if you've had the same experience, but when I've had friends that have been pregnant, delivered, and raised babies during which I've known they were expecting but I haven't seen them during any of that time, it somewhat surprises me when I see them for the first time. I think, Here's my friend! Looking just the same as I remember. Who's this tiny person standing next to her?Photo time:What's that in the sky? A bird? A plane?This was something important that I have completely forgotten.The profound crevices and healed wounds in the bark of the aged trees emphasized the delicate birth of the fresh flora (yeah, one Humanities minor later, I've perfected writing a load of crap).Hello Myer's Family!I love this picture of the fellas. Stellar admiration of the flowers Dave. Charlie has a tendency to scowl at anything from grass blades to moving objects, and here's an example of that.It was so good to see her and her family... a respite that I very much needed. a note on momma's hair While talking with my dad tonight, he told me of an actual conversation that occurred over the weekend. Apparently him and my mom were working in the yard on Saturday and since it was a windy day my mom's hair whipped to and fro (so punny!) to form something like this:Well, our neighbor strolled by and paused for a chat. As the conversation lulled, he must of said the first thing that came to his mind, which was:Neighbor, turning to my mother: "I really like your hair. It's, uh, fluffy."Now I don't know if this guy was having a bit of fun with my mom, or if he seriously fancied it. Either way, my mom took it as a compliment and all of us had a good laugh.for fun, here's the first pic that pops up if you google fluffy: baby genius pa In our E Med class today we talked about Ob/Gyn emergencies, and I have never been more entertained, not so much because of the subject (kinda gross), but because of this amazing lecturer. Example: when she was explaining that in practice we have to do a pregnancy test on EVERY menstruating woman that walks trough the door, she follows with "I’ve seen more virgin births than any wise men." so, so funny. the Lord DOES answer sporadic prayers The Deseret Morning News published an article today explaining the church's new "Slow-Track" program. Finally, something in the church that I excel at.

And it did not disappoint.The food is cheap, taste great and the staff is friendly even if they ar very busy at times and need to run arounda fair bit.One issue with place can be that it isa lwqys full. This as it is as mall place which is very popular. Nist of there tables ar also longer ones, so you very often need to share your table with one or more groups of other guests. For most this is not a problem at all, but it is for this obvious reaspn not a place you bring your date on a romantic dinner.Its a rustic shack on the main road who serve great inexpensive thai food. Just what most of us need. Helpful?

Very generous portions for very little money, and best of all, the food's delicious!4 stars only cuz we were disappointed with some of the dishes, in particular the deep fried squid, which was mostly batter. For 50 baht more, you get far more value from the barbecued squid, which is just perfect! Dishes we loved:- pad thai- fried yellow noodles - seafood in coconut milk- spring rolls - barbecued squid - tom yam Helpful?

Have been to Patong 3 times and keep coming back here. Amazing food, even more amazing prices! Have not found anything on the menu that I have had that I didn't like. Don't worry about lining up outside when it's busy, it's worth it, and if you don't try the food you are really missing out! Thank drpete00 Report Ask drpete00 about No. 6 Restaurant There is always a line wanting to get into No 6 no matter what time of the day. We decided to go for lunch as dinner time has the longest queues. We arrived just before noon and only had to wait for 5 minutes. The service was slower than I expected as I thought they woudl rush you in an out, but we where happy not to be rushed. The food was very well prioced and delicious. We have eaten at their restuarant "on teh Hill" and altough nice not a patch on the food here. Thank Peter S Report Ask Peter S about No. 6 Restaurant 9 helpful votes “Don't understand the queues!” People queue up to eat at this small Thai restaurant. We took this as a good sign and waited on a seta at a shared table but the meal wasn't anything special in our opinion. The prices were fantastically cheap though, which could explain it! It was nice enough and we had no complaints but there are similar places all along this street which have better service and similar food for similar prices.

SOLVED: Moving recording into the computer - Fixya HomeForumVideo CamerasCanonESES8600 CamcorderSOLVED: Moving... 1 Answer Moving recording into the computer Although the camcorder uses an actural tape, I was wondering if there was a way I could just connect the camcorder with the tape still in it to the computer and then save the recording on the computer instead of feeding it into the television probchild00 Re: moving recording into the computer 73 Answers SOURCE: camcorder wont playback If this is a Dig8 camcorder, it should have a DV jack. From this, you can use an iLink cable (firewire cable) to plug it directly into your computer. If you have a DVD burner on your computer, this should work for you. Instructions: Connect an i.LINK (firewire) cable (also known as IEEE 1394) to the i.LINK port on the digital camcorder. Connect the other end of the i.LINK cable to the computer. NOTE: The computer i.LINK ports and capture cards may have either 4-pin or 6-pin connections. Sony digital camcorders use i.LINK ports with 4 pins. If your computer only has a 6-pin i.LINK port, then it will be necessary to use a 4-pin to 6-pin i.LINK cable. Turn on the digital camcorder by moving the POWER switch to the VTR position. Cue the camcorder tape to the beginning of the video footage. Turn on the computer. Your computer should recognize your camcorder and automatically install the needed driver. Start the video capture software on the computer. Begin playing the recorded video in the camcorder. Begin importing the video with the capture software. It should now be possible to copy the video using the video capture software if the computer hardware and software are configured correctly. Hope this helps you.
