Pan's Labyrinth is the story of Ofelia (Ivana Baquero), a young girl living in post-Civil War Spain in 1944. Ofelia moves to a countryside mill with her pregnant mother who recently married a fascist devotee, Captain Vidal (Sergi Lopez). Ofelia is lead by a fairy-like creature into a labyrinth where she meets the faun, who believes her to be Princess Moanna, the long-lost daughter of the king of the underworld, and explains she must complete three tasks to ensure that she is the princess.
While Ofelia goes about performing these tasks in what appears to be a fantasy world, the Republicans hiding in the woods surrounding the mill clash with the Captain and his soldiers, and Ofelia's mother experiences a severe complications in her pregnancy.
It remains ambiguous whether the alternate world is real or a figment of Ofelia's imagination (really, the whole thing is a fairy tale based on the narration). The "fantasy" world that Ofelia enters serves as an allegory for the "real" world of fascist Spain and the situation Ofelia finds herself in. I haven't been in an English class in months, so I feel a little rusty on my interpretive skills, but I managed to draw a few parallels, some of which are more obvious than others. (I'd be curious to know what others think.)
The first task Ofelia is assigned is to retrieve a key from the stomach of a toad who lives under a tree from which he is sucking the life. I'm pretty sure the toad is Francisco Franco and the tree is Spain. The film draws attention to the reduction of food rations being given to citizens under Franco's government. The toad eats all the bugs in the tree, and the tree is dying.
The Pale Man (that creepy thing with his eyeballs in the palms of his hands that is in all the publicity) represents the Captain. He sits at the head of a table with a large feast akin to the dinner party hosted by the patriarchal Captain. The Pale Man's eyes are in the palms of his hands, which causes him to be terrifying but disoriented and unable to see clearly what is happening. Similarly, the Captain doesn't realize for some time that there are Republican sympathizers in his house.
The faun and Mercedes guide and protect Ofelia when her mother isn't able. Both disappear for a short time, but eventually return for Ofelia.
The film is much more violent than I anticipated, but less creepy. Most of the violence is inflicted by the Captain, further emphasizing the brutality of fascism. Of course, it not totally lacking in creepiness. The alternate reality is grotesque, but not in such a way that one feels compelled to avert one's eyes -- that's more likely to happen in the real world.
If you're in Halifax, Pan's Labyrinth is still going to be playing in Park Lane and Bayer's Lake next week. I suggest you see it.

Won't happen to many of you, but here's what to do if you suddenly find that you can't drag and drop stuff in Windows XP.
First off, don't panic. There's lots of pages out there suggesting you have a virus. Not impossible, but unlikely.
Second, check that you haven't got your escape key stuck. Do this either physically—something may be wedging it down—or else virtually—a program may have set it as on. This has happened to lots of people, if this post is anything to go by.
If that doesn't work for you, try this.
Download this ZIP file from here.
What you're going to do is change your registry, so back it up first.
Open the files inside the Zip.
The one you need is the dragndropx.reg.
Once you're backed up, double click on it, and select yes from the resulting dialog:
Your registry should now be fixed.
Try dragging something—an icon, a file, some text—and you should be good to go.
(Note: I have a feeling this problem is caused by overzealous registry cleaners.)
If you're still having problems, you may have something more serious: Run a good virus scan as your next step. If there's still a problem, then it could be your mouse driver. Here's some more (mostly inconclusive) chat about this.


text: Something I wish I could change. I could rant and rave for hours, literally, about education in the state of Idaho. Obviously I am not happy about the budget cuts since the first thing on the chopping block was my job and I am now unemployed, but I really wish there was more of a dedication to education because I care about the students here. I also think that the whole education system is deeply flawed. The only way you can make a decent living is to be in administration and pretty much all the administrators are power hungry people who dont care about the students. Teachers cant make enough to support a family, I can barely make enough to support myself. Its a completely ridiculous situation!

The Karnataka bus strike was called off on Wednesday after the government announced a 12.5 percent wage hike.
On Wednesday, which was the third day of the strike in Karnataka schools and colleges ad remained shut. Office-goers faced the most trouble as private buses, maxi cabs and vans pressed into service, to make up for the missing 23,000 buses, were insufficient to cart lakhs of daily commuters.
Over a lakh employees belonging to the unions of the four corporations (KSRTC, NWRTC, NERTC and BMTC) continued with the indefinite strike as their demand for 30-35 percent wage hike remained unheard by the state government. The state government has offered a 10 percent hike so far.
Meanwhile, CM Siddaramaiah's position could be in trouble if he fails to solve this logjam, a senior Congress leader and former Union minister B Janardhana Poojary was quoted as saying by the Bangalore Mirror. He warned the chief minister that if he fails to come to an understanding with the four unions and end the strike, he could be replaced with senior Congress leaders Oscar Fernandes, Mallikarjun Kharge, Motamma or G Parameshwara.
"Siddaramaiah has not taken the issue seriously even when thousands of workers are on indefinite strike. It is a huge loss to the state exchequer and people. People have chosen Congress in the state expecting better governance. However, people are now desperate and have lost confidence in the CM. He does not listen to anybody and he has no concern towards the people. The state has given two able labour ministers - Fernandes and Kharge - to the nation," he said
Union leaders expressed their anger over the chief minister not taking them seriously by sending Transport Minister Rama Linga Reddy. They had expected that the chief minister would hold a meeting with the union.
"Unless the government displays concern towards the staff of corporations, we will not withdraw the protest," said a union leader.
Karnataka BJP President BS Yeddyurappa had said that this government makes everything a "matter of prestige" and "approaches the problem with ego."
"I urge the government to go to the negotiating table with an open and positive frame of mind," he had said.
The chief minister responded to the BJP leader's remarks saying, "It (wage hike) is not a prestige issue for us nor we are adamant about our offer. Though the cabinet meeting decided to give 8 percent hike, we have offered to give 10 percent keeping in view the finances of the corporations and the exchequer. The unions are not agreeing even for this (10 percent)."

For any age woman, the goal is to highlight your most attractive features and minimize the less attractive ones, suggests Felicia Marcoux, manager of The Spa at Kingsmill. "As a general rule, your makeup should become more subtle as you become older," she says.
Here are a few universal beauty tips from Felicia and other experts at the spa:
Minimize wrinkles and tired eyes. In the morning, apply either a multi-vitamin product or a concealer under your foundation. Before going to bed, apply a product specifically formulated for the sensitive skin around your eyes.
Accentuate cheekbones. Draw a line under your cheekbones with a darker foundation than usual. Then, apply your natural foundation as you typically do.
Accent one or the other. Bring out your eyes OR mouth -- but not both because it draws attention to your nose.
Prep your skin. Cleanse your skin, use a concealer where needed and apply a foundation that closely matches your skin tone. Blend foundation into the neck area, taking care to never leave a visible line. Use latex-free sponges to avoid skin irritations.
Act your age. Women in their 30s can still use pastel-colored eye shadow and apply dramatic amounts of eyeliner.
In their 40s, women should transition too more natural colors and looks, using less eye liner.
By the time they reach their 50s, women should stop using eyeliner and start using dark eye shadow to hide wrinkles.
TRENDS TO TRYHair and makeup trends for '08 include:
Lavish your lips. Deep red lipsticks are returning; traditional lipstick colors are also still popular. It's also still fashionable to outline your lips to define them and keep lipstick from wandering; keep the outline subtle and close to the color of your lipstick.
Keep it natural. High and low lights are still good coloring accents to use but colors are staying natural.
Cut it like you like. Short straight hair is in, especially with tons of texture and wind-swept wisps. But, for those who can't let go of their long hair, it's coming back. "Pretty much everything you want to do with a hair cut will be in style," says Sylvia Whitney, a hair stylist at The Spa at Kingsmill. "The elegant bob never goes out of style."

I enjoyed every minute of this book.
The story was fast paced and the narrator fabulous.
Phryne takes herself and Dot, her companion, and Ruth and Jane, her two adopted daughters down to Queenscliff for a summer holiday in a borrowed house while her house in Melbourne is being renovated under the watchful eyes of the Butlers. When she arrives, the Johnsons, the caretaker couple who belong to the house are not there and neither is there furniture. The kitchen of the house has been stripped of food and no-one knows where the Johnsons have gone. In the course of finding the missing couple, Phryne gets involved with a film crew, a surrealist party, a treasure hunt and a rum smuggling gang.
This is another great offering from Kerry Greenwood. I wondered how I would like a Fisher audiobook - I have read all the others in hard copy - but found I thoroughly enjoyed it. Stephanie Daniel performs the story well. All in all good value for money.

Park Shin Hye may return to television in a drama that has the working title, "Girl Gangster Hye Jung."
On November 24, her agency, S.A.L.T Entertainment confirmed that the 25-year-old was considering a role in the upcoming drama.
"[She] received an offer and is currently reviewing the script," said a representative for her agency, in a statement published by Daily Sports.
If she accepts the role, "Girl Gangster Hye Jung" would serve as the follow-up drama role for Park, who captured the hearts of viewers in 2015 with her portrayal of Cho In Ha, a young woman who was incapable of lying, in "Pinocchio."
The series will be written by Ha Myung Hee, who is credited for the popular 2015 SBS social commentary drama, "High Society" and jTBC's "Can We Get Married?" Ha is a notable screenwriter who was the recipient of the script award in the 2010 Broadcast Content Promotion Foundation drama competition.
According to Daily Sports, "Girl Gangster Hye Jung" is a social critique of the interactions of physicians and their patients, with a strong emphasis on a realistic portrayal of these dynamics.
Dramas focused on doctors have become increasingly popular with the explosive success of SBS' "Yong Pal" serving as a potential template for successors.
Meanwhile, Park Shin Hye is currently working on the upcoming movie, "Hyung" or "Older Brother." "Hyung" marks the silver screen return for Park, whose other notable film roles include Ye Seung in the 2013 dramatic comedy, "Miracle in Cell No. 7," and her portrayal of the Queen in the visual feast, "The Royal Tailor."
The highly-anticipated project also stars EXO's D.O. and Jo Jung Suk. Park portrays Lee Soo Hyun, a taekwondo instructor who becomes involved with D.O. and aids with the friction involving his convict brother.

Inspirational - Lemons/Lemonade = A Winner
BEIXIAOYING TOWN, China (AP) -- Natalie du Toit pulled herself onto the dock and waited for someone to bring her prosthetic leg. She stretched out the other leg -- the one she didn't lose in that horrendous motorcycle accident -- and chatted with an official about the first open water race in Olympic history.
Du Toit didn't finish where she wanted. Not even close.
But just making it to Beijing was a huge victory for anyone who's ever faced a disability.
Hoping to contend for a medal, the 24-year-old South African amputee fell off the pace toward the end of the grueling 6.2-mile race and finished 16th on Wednesday, more than a minute behind gold medalist Larisa Ilchenko of Russia.
"I tried my best," du Toit said. "I'm not too happy with it, but I'll be back for 2012."
Don't bet against her.
When she walked out with 24 other swimmers to be introduced for the groundbreaking event, it was quickly apparent she wasn't like any of them.
Du Toit hobbled along stiffly on her artificial leg, No. 23 written on her back and both arms. While others bounced up and down to loosen up, she settled for shaking her arms. A couple of times, she walked over to the edge to splash water on her face and goggles, leaning over tenuously with the wooden prosthetic sticking out to the side, keeping her from falling over.
When it was time to race, she walked slowly onto the dock and removed her replacement leg. Someone moved it to the side, and du Toit sat at the edge of the water, her right leg dangling in. When the starter called for everyone to get ready, she pulled herself up, wobbled just a bit and dove in.
She was an Olympian.
"My message isn't just to disabled people," du Toit said. "It's to everyone out there that you have to work hard. I've been through a lot of ups and downs ... but I've seen a lot of good things along the way. I was able to use the negativism in a good light and say after my accident, 'I can still do it if I work hard.'
"You have to set dreams, set goals and never give up."
Du Toit, who carried the South African flag in the Opening Ceremony, hung with the lead pack much of the race, but she had a problem with her cap and couldn't keep up when the pace quickened toward the end of the two-hour ordeal. She finished 1 minute, 22.2 seconds behind Ilchenko, who out-sprinted two British swimmers who led most of the way.
Then again, du Toit's time of 2 hours, 49.9 seconds put her ahead of nine others, including 16-year-old American Chloe Sutton, who broke down in tears after finishing, every part of her body cramping and aching.
"I was swimming next to her and she beat me -- and she has one leg," Sutton said. "It's incredible she was able to do that."
Du Toit was an up-and-coming swimmer who just missed qualifying for the 2000 Sydney Games when her life took a tragic turn in 2001. Returning to school on a motorbike after a training session, she collided with a car and sustained massive injuries to her left leg. Doctors tried for a week to save it but finally had to amputate at the knee.
Instead of giving up on her athletic career, du Toit was back in the water six months later. Swimming made her feel whole again, though she wasn't competitive with able-bodied athletes in the pool, where the legs are vital for starts and turns.
Along came open water, which was added to the program for Beijing. There are no flip turns to negotiate in marathon swimming, which is usually held in lakes and oceans, and the upper body is more important than the legs.
"When I take my leg off and I'm completely free in the water," du Toit said, "that's who I am."
She had found her new calling. Du Toit qualified for the Olympics with a fourth-place finish at the World Championships in Spain this year.
"I find it hard, and I'm a completely able-bodied person," said Cassandra Patten, who won bronze in the race held at the Olympic rowing and canoeing course. "She's an amazing role model."
The race didn't go according to plan. Du Toit caught her skintight cap on a buoy and spent much of the time fiddling with it, trying make sure it didn't fall off.
With the cap occupying her attention, she kept skipping the drink stops along the course and wound up getting dehydrated. By the end, her leg was cramping and searing pain ripped through her bulky arms.
"I couldn't even get out of the water," du Toit said. "That showed I gave my best."
After bobbing on the surface in the finish area for a few seconds, she finally hoisted herself onto the deck. The official came over with her artificial leg, which was stuffed with the T-shirt du Toit wore out for the start. She pulled it out, slipped on the prosthesis and walked slowly toward dry land.
Du Toit has put herself out there for everybody to see, and she's eager to share her story.
"Sometimes you feel a bit awkward kind of asking, but she told me everything. She told me about the accident, what happened, the rehab," Patten said. "She's got such courage. Everyone's insecure, everyone has insecurities. To kind of put that in show and be totally fine with that is totally amazing. I'm going to go and give her a big cuddle."
Du Toit was not the first disabled athlete to compete at the Olympics, or even in Beijing. Natalia Partyka, who was born with a right arm that ends just below the elbow, made the Polish team in table tennis.
Both will remain in Beijing after these Games to compete in the Paralympics. Du Toit will be looking to match the five gold medals she won in Athens four years ago.
No disabled Olympian was more successful than American gymnast George Eyser, who won three golds and five medals overall while competing on a wooden leg at the 1904 St. Louis Games. His left leg was amputated after a train accident.
Still, it's quite unusual for someone with a major disability to compete at this level, especially in a sport such as swimming where the legs provide so much power.
Ilchenko praised du Toit for not letting her disability hold her back. She was right in there battling with everyone else in a race that's often called wrestling in the water for its rough tactics.
"I'd even go so far as to award her a separate medal," the winner said through a translator. "I have enormous respect for her. It is exceedingly hard. Just looking at these people inspires you."
Du Toit did receive a special gift from officials at the rowing basin: a traditional Chinese drawing encased in a wooden box. She doesn't want to be treated any different, however.
"I worked hard to get here," she said. "I want to do everything on merit. This is not just a free ride."
Du Toit didn't get a free ride Wednesday.
She was an Olympian, just like everyone else.
I thought this was a very inspiring story. But as I read, I picked up on so many of the "things" we are taught in MK that pt want to poopoo on. Life is how you look at it and what you make it, and you must love, love, love this line:
I was able to use the negativism in a good light and say after my accident, 'I can still do it if I work hard.'
There is a major difference between not being negative and being a polly ana – but it is how you handle the negative that decides the quality of your character.
I hope you enjoyed this article as much as I did and now I want to go do something BIG today!

Regarding Quality Score & CPC- Search Campaign
June 2015
Hello Everyone,
I have created 2 campaigns 2 days back, one is for search network & second is call only. While creating campaign both campaign was paused. I used few keywords and put those keywords in campaign, when i checked quality score it was showing 3/4 for every keyword. All keywords was in BMM and phrase match type, top page bid is high. When i edit keyword and put "+" symbol in with any single word (laptop +repair service tokiyo) quality score has changed, it was showing 9/10 and top page bid is low.
In above example laptop +repair service tokiyo chances of irrelevant click is high as we have given priority to "repair" term. Here our CPA would be high.
1) Now please tell me why Google showing low quality score for paused keywords?
2) If we will use keyword in broad match in sake of good quality score, our CPC would be high or low? Would it be a right approach use keyword in broad match?
3) As per my knowledge in the beginning whatever quality score reflecting it doesn't matter. Actual quality score Google give if after 10-15 days when ads will start performing, on that basis?
4) CPA would be low in which match type Broad, BMM, Exact or Phrase?
Re: Regarding Quality Score & CPC- Search Campaign
June 2015
Hello there @Pankaj S
The predominant factor of QS is CTR. The higher the CTR, the higher the QS;
Do remember that initially you are granted a "default QS" (based on other advertisers QS for the exact match type of this KW) until sufficient data us collected by the system about your own campaign performance.
Also, do remember that QS is a relative score. There are verticals in which it's hard to perform above average..
So, work on your CTR. (The usual techniques: match type, ad relevancy, etc...)
Did you find any helpful responses or answers to your query? If yes, please mark it as the 'Best Answer'
Re: Regarding Quality Score & CPC- Search Campaign
June 2015
1. Might be paused keywords are used in your campaign earlier so they have already quality score associated with them.
2. CPC would be low in broad match as , broad keyword tigger many keywords at once so there cpc would be low (including long tail keywords).
3. if your ad start performing your quality score will be increased.
4. In Broad match cpc would be low.
Let me know if you have more questions.

I just came home from a steady place. Each complacent pond and every wine-red sunset testifies every day of the unalterable quality of the rolling hills of Kansas. Hills past endurance. Hills that share their fountain of youth, the elixir sheltered deep in limestone treasuries, with each inanimate object that sets root there. Buildings buy immortality with their motion. They sacrifice their activity, their soul, to share in the promise of immortality. Lifeless but never dead.
Chips of paint flee their homes, the now cold sides of never-dying houses. A vine reaches through a defunct window, to devour its rotten wood. Roofs implode. Insects stake claim in dark corners of shudder-cold building-caves. They construct mud temples with their spittle. Mindless hives for raising imps who learn to prey on more noble creatures. Still the house stands.
A boy stares at the undying houses; Two horizontal lines left on a white canvas. Balance. Peace. Reliability.
The boy sighs, alone, but content, and leaves the still unmoving houses to their rest.
Written in Very Early Youth
Calm is all nature as a resting wheel.
The kine are couched upon the dewy grass;
The horse alone, seen dimly as I pass,
Is cropping audibly his later meal:
Dark is the ground; a slumber seems to steal
O'er vale, and mountain, and the starless sky.
Now, in this blank of things, a harmony,
Home-felt, and home-centered, comes to heal
That grief for which the senses still supply
Fresh food; for only then, when memory
Is hushed, am I at rest. My Friends! restrain
Those busy cares that would allay my pain;
Oh! leave me to myself, nor let me feel
The officious touch that makes me droop again.

I can hardly believe that this school year is over. It goes so fast. Crazy. It's been a good year. I did take pictures of dinners Sam and I made one week, but of course I'm way too lazy to actually put them on this blog. I know it's not that difficult. But, you know.
I mean, it's taken me this long just to get a post going. Not too much has changed in our lives. We had a good Spring Break in Vegas. Went to the Beatles Love show...I would recommend it to anyone. It was awesome. Now, I'm in school and although I only have two classes, it does manage to consume a lot of my time. It's good to be back in school. Maybe Sam will start going the second half of the summer like he says he will.
Other than that things are really about the same. I'm excited for the summer and for this semester of school to be over. I'm hoping to make a wood project. Sam said he would help me, other than that I have some sewing projects and there's always the task of catching up on scrapbooking. Good times!
December - December 4, 2017 We had Anson look through some recipes and made a list of ingredients that we needed for the ones he liked. He started adding to my grocer...

Happy 5th Birthday...
William officially turned 5 as of 8:43 pm July 2nd. :)
Here are a few photos from his actual birth-day...we just had fun as a family. :) The day ended w/ a few sparklers from Aunt Kaye.
William decided that he wanted to go to the petting zoo on his birthday. Wowza...buddy! Way to pick one of the hottest days of the year! We all layed down for early naps and then got up and drove to the petting zoo...we had to drive an hour, but it WAS a fun time. I was even able to swing in my Arthur-trip to pick up my 2 weeks worth of milk. Yay!! The kids had fun climbing "The Mountain" just outside the petting zoo. :)
William all decked out in his army-dress-up outfit from Eva. And he's holding one of the newest kittens.
We celebrated his birthday morning w/ chocolate chip & triple berry pancakes. It's been a long time since I've made pancakes...I usually make waffles. :) (and the chocolate wasn't mixed w/ the berry--btw...just to clarify:) He had candles in his pancakes and in his p & j for lunch--it's those little things that make memories, eh??
Sunday Dinner was at our house...we celebrated w/ the fam. He requested a chocolate cake w/ cherries. Madeline and I made the whole thing from scratch...I got a very yummy & simple recipe for chocolate cake off of allrecipes.com We did whip up our own frosting--I just couldn't bring myself to buy the store kind, after I read the ingredient list...health triumphed over convenience--ha,ha. (as if chocolate cake is healthy??) I did use coconut oil in the cake and the frosting--delish! (Madeline and I did add some red raspberries on the top too) Funny William really wanted prunes on it, but I was able to talk him out of that one. :)
Is he really 5 years old? The days have sometimes been long...but the years fly past. Wow!
Saturday evening (a few days before his actual birthday), we started a new birthday tradition w/ the kids: The birthday-kid gets to go on a *special* date w/ Justin and I + get to pick where we eat. He chose Pizza Hut. :)
We had a good time chatting w/ him and enjoying our time w/ just him.
Wow...I wonder what the next 5 years will bring in William's life. We are excited to see him grow up and live out what God has in store for him. It's so fun to look back and see how much he's grown and changed in the past 5 years.
I think, if only we can look past today w/ our toddlers...and get the vision that they WILL grow up and the important thing is to be faithful in the "little" things of the day--it's all building into their character and affecting who they'll be as they grow up. Wow...I want to enjoy it all. God, give us grace!

As you can probably already guess from the title of this new blog, my major focus will be on French in 2016. However I also hope to periodically move forwards in my other minor languages as well (i.e., Russian, Hawaiian, and German), and will report back on my progress in all 4 languages here every fortnight. But first a little background on my main target language for 2016, French…
I only ever studied French for about 9 months in high school, and this was split amidst 10 other GCSEs over 25 years ago! We were supposed to have been given 2 years to prepare from scratch in school (French was only a later option for GCSE), but after a series of spectacular nervous breakdowns by teachers in the French Department (it was a pretty rough school back then), we were lucky to finally get someone who stayed at all. Fair to say, she was one of the worst teachers I've ever encountered, and most failed to do well in the final exams.
Nevertheless, I had a secret weapon to make up for lost time – one of the first language courses I ever bought – a dog-eared but virtually scratch-free second-hand "Reader's Digest: At Home With French". I picked this gem up in a church jumble sale for a mere 50 pence, and probably got about halfway through the course on my record player (judging from the reminiscent record covers in the picture above). Finding a photo on Amazon of this 1968 course brought on serious waves of nostalgia, and I really wish I had held onto these materials now. Long story short though, this gave me just enough extra help to ace that GCSE.
Since then, I've done very little with French at all. I went on a business trip to Marseilles for 5 days back in 2008, but spoke very little French beyond complaining about the tap-dancing rats in my room. Other than that, I spent about 34 hours last year watching French films and tv, and doing a little bit of Assimil (the first dozen lessons). So the start of this blog should be interesting in revealing how much of those 9 half-hearted months back in the Jurassic period of my school education are still locked away somewhere in my white and grey matter.
As French is very close to English for me (false friends aside), I find reading relatively easy. Yet an "A" grade at GCSE is aligned with an A2 level on the CEFR scale at best, and I'm not really sure how much of that is left after quarter of a century!? I was certainly lost whilst trying to watch "Les Revenants" with my wife last year without subtitles, and I don't fancy my chances of extending a conversation beyond French pastries and the weather. So let's say I'm probably starting out as a dusty A2 commode, but that my reading ability is for one reason or another much higher.
So how far can I get in one year, with all of life's bumps and pukas (Pidgin: holes) in the road ahead of me? Well, for starters, I'm hoping to complete both Assimil's "French with Ease" and "Using French" course books to refresh and complete my foundation in the language, and then move on to studying more challenging texts and media (and perhaps finish a light novel and tv series or two), in order to reach a B2 level by the end of 2016 and finally feel more "at home with French". I've already received several doubtful side-glances and dubious practical comments from friends and family as to whether it's indeed even possible to rise from A2 to B2 in the course of a year whilst also teaching undergraduate courses and completing a PhD, but as always, I'm up for the challenge.
To help me on my way, I've joined the French TAC team and language group "Les Voyageurs" this year (over on the Language Learners' Forum), and I look forward to following other French learners' blogs (be they taking part in a challenge or not) for ongoing inspiration, encouragement, and sharing notes and resources. My wife will also continue her studies in French this year, having already completed the passive wave of Assimil's "French with Ease", and we've agreed to join forces on the home front to help each other out.
I'm really curious and excited to see how 2016 will unfold and bloom. And whatever your goals for next year, there will always be a cosy hammock and complementary Mai Tai waiting for you here, in case you care to drop by or leave a message, and I wish everyone the best of luck in achieving what they set out to do. Bon courage!

Where's my expansion valve? / '84 190e AC Issues

Where's my expansion valve? / '84 190e AC Issues
I was topping off my AC with some r-12 and everything was going fine. I had about 25psi on the low side a bit over 200psi on the high side. Then the clutch on the compressor started clicking and when the clutch was engaged the compressor was having a hard time turning. Then WHAM! the relief valve on the receiver drier poped and spit all my freon and color dye (to spot leaks) onto the low pressure valve, and the car stalled. Now when the ac is turned on, (with the low pressure switch bridged) the car stalls.
So, I will replace the compressor and the receiver/drier for a fresh beginning. I should change the expansion vavle too , but I'm not sure where it is on the w201. I know its near the heater core, but is it inside the car? Hard to get? How many hours?
Thanks folks.

It is a toy. It's a rubber shoe sole that had a rope through it. The rope lasted 5minutes. Part of the sales are donated to service dogs. If it's o.k. to post the site I can.

Χαίρετε ἀναγνώστες!
Today I will discuss what modern cultural issues are close to Zeus. The short answer is… probably all of them. Being King of the Gods, He would have a stake in all things, if only because He governs the whole kosmos and rules over the other Gods. I'll try to narrow down a few below, but it will likely not be exhaustive. Continue reading

If you've been following my blog the last couple of weeks, you may have been keeping tabs on my spring cleaning efforts dubbed "Operation DD" and I assure you that I haven't stopped or given up, I'm still plugging away! Last week I worked on Gabe's room and took some before pictures which I'll share with you below, but I was experiencing some camera troubles and the darn thing did not want to take any after pictures! So I will try and take some this week if my camera has finished it's conniption :) The other room I have started on and am thrilled about is the kitchen! I am finally painting it! I've been wanting to paint it since the day we moved in three and a half years ago! Oh and we got some new counter tops and knobs to make it all nice and spiffy for anyone who wants to buy it :)
Okay I'm just noticing how bad those pictures look of what a disaster his room was, but I guess that's what you're supposed to do right? Make it look super bad so the afters look super good? Anyways, his room wasn't too bad actually, I just had to purge some toys and tidy up and vacuum (I might have moved a thing or two around too :) I'll try and post the "after" pictures tomorrow.
Have a good day!

An atheist was on Foxnews to stand up for his beliefs, on the facebook page of Foxnews there were these kinds of reactions (in a short time more than 8,000 reactions like these below and much much worse were planted on there):
I say kill them all and let them see for themselves that there is a god.etc. etc. etc.I love Jesus, and the cross and if you don't, I hope that someone rapes you!
Or a high school student who stood up for her beliefs and won her lawsuit to have a prayer rug removed from her public high school got messages like:
"wen the atheist dies, they believe they will become a tree, so we shld chop her down, turn her into paper then PRINT THE BIBLE ON HER.""if I wasn't 18 and wouldn't go to jail I'd beat the **** out of her idk how she got away with not getting beat up yet""nail her to a cross""When I take over the world I'm going to do a holocaust to all the atheists"

"He who does not think himself worth saving from poverty and ignorance by his own efforts, will hardly be thought worth the efforts of anybody else." -- Frederick Douglass, Self-Made Men (1872)
"Fly-over" country voted, and The Donald is now POTUS. #MAGA
"For what is Evil but Good-tortured by its own hunger and thirst?"
- Khalil Gibran
Unfortunately, almost exactly the same kind of arguments were made during the transition to Kim Jong-il's rule. The reality is that it is uncertain as to how much control/influence Kim's successor actually has. If the prior transition is representative, and that's a risky assumption, he could have greater control/influence than those outside North Korea suspect. Of course, there may well be certain senior military leaders who have significant influence. All of that is likely playing out in shaping North Korea's recent conduct. Nevertheless, given Kim's "immortal contribution" of Songun (military-centered society), North Korea's new uranium enrichment activities might well have much more to do with locking Kim's strategic contribution in place than the transition that is underway.
Economic weakness has been a chronic issue in North Korea.
In sum, I don't believe North Korea is near a breaking point whereby even a modest tightening of sanctions would trigger the collapse of its regime.
I think the only way to end poverty in North Korea is to overthrow the current government. They are the ones keeping people in this situation. North Korea is the most oppressive state in the world where the people have virtually no rights and live under communist tyranny. I feel sorry for the North Koreans. We can send aid, but it doesn't help. The problem is with the nation's leadership and style of government. To help North Koreans we must address the real problem, the North Korean government and its policies.
Tired of elections being between the lesser of two evils.When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser. -Socrates
"For what is Evil but Good-tortured by its own hunger and thirst?"
- Khalil Gibran
External regime change is not very likely. North Korea's conventional arsenal and modest nuclear arsenal would make the costs of overthrowing the regime via military means prohibitive. Bad as the situation is in North Korea, I don't believe the sacrifice of Seoul and other South Korean population centers within reach of North Korea's military nor the resulting military costs (manpower, weapons, financial) would justify even a successful military outcome.
A new development. From The Korea Herald:
Defense Minister Kim Tae-young said Monday that South Korea would consider the redeployment of U.S. tactical nuclear weapons in consultation with Washington as one of the options to deal with North Korea's nuclear ambitions.
His comment followed a report that the North showed a new uranium enrichment plant purportedly with some 2,000 centrifuges installed and running to Siegfried Hecker, a U.S. scientist who visited the communist state earlier this month.
This upcoming policy discussion between South Korea and the United States, even if it never reaches the stage where tactical nuclear weapons are redeployed to South Korea, is potentially welcome. It could provide a signal to North Korea's regime that South Korea is not so intimidated by the North's actions that it is paralyzed to take measures aimed at safeguarding its interests. It could also signal to the North Korean regime that neither that regime's aggressive acts nor worries about the possible fragility of North Korea's succession process will inhibit South Korea from carrying out policies consistent with that state's interests.

Wildcats roll past William Monroe
By Brad Fauber
FRONT ROYAL — Warren County's girls basketball team has placed an emphasis on shutting down the opposing team's best player the past couple games, and the strategy worked to perfection on Tuesday night against visiting William Monroe.
The Wildcats shadowed William Monroe senior Arica Brown for most of the game, and the Green Dragons simply had no answer offensively as Warren County rolled to an easy 42-18 Bull Run District and Conference 28 victory.
"We knew coming in that we were going to have to take away their best player," Wildcats coach John Kelly said. "That's kind of been our focus the last three or four games, and we've actually won the games because of taking away their best players."
Kelly said Brown gave the Wildcats (8-4, 6-2 Bull Run) some problems in the teams' first meeting back on Dec. 4, which prompted Warren County to attempt to take her out of the game.
Brown finished with just two points, and William Monroe (2-11, 2-7) shot just 12.2 percent (6 for 49) from the floor in the game.
"[Brown] was actually able to go coast-to-coast on us, where she got a rebound and went all the way in for layups," Kelly said of Warren County's first meeting with the Dragons, which the Wildcats won 49-29. "And it wasn't that she was making the layups, she made her foul shots. I think she put in eight to 10 points in the first half against us doing that, so we wanted to take that part away."
Warren County's focus on Brown allowed the Wildcats to jump out to a quick 10-2 lead after one period, as four different Wildcats registered points in the first frame.
That lead quickly rose to double digits in the second period, as William Monroe was held without a field goal in the frame.
Wildcats senior Jordyn Beckner scored the first three points of the quarter to extend Warren County's lead to 13-2, but William Monroe's Kaila Stevens hit a pair of free throws to cut the lead back to nine with 6:23 left in the first half.
Warren County senior Lauren Woodrell's bucket in the paint was answered by a pair of free throws by Brown to keep the Wildcats' lead at nine, but junior Autumn Troxell nailed a pair of deep jumpers that started a 10-0 Warren County run to end the half and give the Wildcats a 25-6 lead.
William Monroe shot just 1 for 29 in the first half.
Beckner spent most of the night shadowing Brown, while Troxell and Arianna Smoot took over the responsibilities when Beckner needed a breather.
"Jordyn is a hard-nosed player. She doesn't always score the most points … but she is our glue that holds us together on the court, especially on defense," Kelly said. "Even though she may be guarding a girl up front, she's still always talking to her teammates, seeing what's going on. And that really helps to have a person with her speed and her height."
The Dragons finally hit their second field goal of the game when Stevens scored a basket in the paint a minute into the second half, but Warren County steadily built a comfortable 34-12 lead by the end of the period and Kelly was able to get his bench players some action in the fourth quarter.
Troxell led the Wildcats with a game-high 11 points, while Beckner and Woodrell each finished with nine points apiece for Warren County. Wildcats' leading scorer Alesha Adams finished with just three points, but that was partly by design, Kelly said.
"We had focused on balanced scoring tonight," he said. "[Adams has] been run hard the past week and a half, so we wanted to give her a little bit of time [off] — keeping her in the game lets the game flow well, but she doesn't always have to score. We have other players to step up and that happened tonight."
Stevens and Makayla Morris led William Monroe with six points apiece.
Warren County returns to action on Friday as the Wildcats host district rival Central in a 6 p.m. contest.

Starship Troopers
Rocket-propelled grenades are all fine and well, but what if you're staring down a nest full of gigantic space bugs who want nothing more than to rip the flesh from your bones? Then you upgrade to the mini-nuke. This handy little device looks like any old RPG launcher, but it packs enough wallop to bring down a mountain. Suddenly being front-line infantry doesn't seem so bad.
The Noisy Cricket
Men in Black
Judge this weapon by its size, do you? … Uh, sorry, wrong franchise…
Sure this little Men in Black stunner may look like it came out of an arcade vending machine (they still have those, don't they?), but the Noisy Cricket wielded by Will Smith's Agent J packs a serious punch. Capable of blowing a hole through a wall with a single shot, the Noisy Cricket also has enough of a kickback that if its user isn't careful they might get thrown through a wall too. If this happens, cracking wise is recommended.
Head Bomb
Total Recall
When you need to sneak into a heavily fortified Martian installation and somehow smuggle in a weapon at the same time, it's best to kill two birds with one stone. Arnold Schwarzenegger made an entrance as only he can by disguising himself as a large, redheaded woman. Not only was the mask convincing until it started malfunctioning, but it made a handy bomb when Arnold needed a quick distraction. Who says you need to prioritize form or function?
Seismic Charge
Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones
Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaannng!! When Jango Fett (and his boy) are looking to take out a nosy Obi-Wan Kenobi in an asteroid field in Attack of the Clones, the bounty hunter puts these memorable little suckers to use. While the charge's ability to slice entire asteroids in half is impressive, the device's sucking all sound out of the area around it and then producing a shock wave out of that sound is really freaking cool too. And yes, we know in real life there's no sound in space, and no, we don't care.
Identity Disc
Imagine if your wallet contained every last piece of information about you and took the form of a Frisbee. And what if you could use that Frisbee as a weapon that bounces off walls and turns anyone it touches into a pile of corrupted data particles? That's pretty much daily life in The Grid. This is one tool you definitely don't want to leave home without.

After seeing several iPhone 6s phones I broke down and ordered myself an iPhone 6s, the rose gold color. I knew from package tracking that it was going to be on the doorstep when I got home yesterday and I was quite anxious to get going. I got the idea (erroneous as it turns out) that I would need to switch SIM cards from my old phone to my new phone, so I got on the AT&T chat line and initiated that process. Unfortunately I didn't actually realize that my phone would be inactivated and I quite frankly am now thinking that the guy I was chatting with didn't know what he was doing. I asked him quite clearly if, when he was done, I could go home, pop the old SIM card into the new iPhone and be ready to move things from the Cloud and he said yes. Long story short - that is not the case. Not only that, but I couldn't download the latest backup because the software wasn't the latest version, the one I had on my old iPhone. So far though, the only thing I find that I can't do is download the book I am currently listening to. It doesn't show up in the library. I think that might be because it is residing on my old iPhone. So I'll finish listening to that, then wipe the iPhone 5 and sell it on eBay. But what a hassle getting a new phone turns out to be! I forget because I do it so infrequently. Oh! And my voicemail is gone. I need to find out how to get to it because someone left me a message yesterday. Probably Tink's vet.
So that was my night last night - fiddling with the phone. I get SO frustrated. And I forgot to turn the heat off before I went to bed so I woke up gasping. Ah well -- small price to pay for a pink iPhone, don't you think?
