Linden Lab's got two positions hiring at the moment. Let's look at the most interesting one: the Senior Client Manager.
According to the description, "The Senior Client Manager will oversee, grow and retain key accounts with our highest profile and revenue generating customers in Second Life. This role will act as the main point of contact for our most valued businesses and will focus on customer retention. In addition, the Senior Client Manager will employ a consultative approach while working closely with Linden Lab's key accounts to identify opportunities that will increase the revenue contribution from that group, as well as handle inbound sales inquiries."
Sounds like "Stop our biggest customers from leaving" to me. What about to you?
Sure, the job should have been filled about four or five years ago. Better late than never?
Here's a couple more highlights from the job responsibilities:
- Contribute directly to team goal of annual revenue contribution and decrease of key account attrition.
- Be the primary point of contact on all aspects of existing key accounts with particular focus on highest revenue generating and highest profile clients.
- Manage all aspects of the revenue growth process by making available real-time pipeline and sales forecast reports for review by the Director and executive leadership team.
- Develop monthly and quarterly business plans that exceed annual revenue growth targets.
Hmm. An interesting role indeed.

I had these old chairs around my pool. They were functional, but not very pretty. So, I decided to spruce them up a bit.
I had to wash them off and since it is almost 100 degrees out, I didn't have to do much work on drying them. I did have to knock off some chipped paint also.
L and I primered the chairs and little table first.
Since I love pops of color and we have a pool with turquoise water, I decided to go with "seaside" for the chairs. If you want the color for yourself, you can click the color name or click here.
I love how they turned out. Nice and bright and clean!
The old chairs blended in so much that I forgot I had 4! I just noticed the other 2 in my yard this morning and quickly painted one more. I need to go get more primer for the other one.
I left the table white for a little contrast. (Again, you can click the color for the exact paint) They also have it at any home improvement store in the white. In the end, I ended up using painting 3 chairs and a table, I used 3 cans of primer, 1 can of white, and 3 cans of seaside. I have some seaside and white left over.
I have 4 other metal chairs that are bigger and rock. I am thinking a different color for those. Maybe a rusty red to tie in the pavers on the patio outside the pool. Feel free to let me know what you think for a good color to add!

Yeah, a little update to the following!
Judge denies the motion to dismiss and gives us a court date. We DO NOT have to pay for his lawyer. His lawyer seemed shocked but the facts speak for themselves...no lawyers for us just the cold hard facts.
- Sick to death of the abuse in the systems....
- Dear God who dreams up all these laws?
- Today we go before the judge finally!
- We have had to jump through hoops and spit sideways just to get this far.
- It started out with a customer owing a tad over a $1,000.00 for a year now.
- We took him to small claims.
- He, a big shot developer turned it over to his lawyer to remove it from small claims and take it to civil court. ( hoping to scare us off we are sure)
- Then the letter of disclosers and more disclosers, we are pro bono.
- Now the facts have and always have been the very same...yet today we find out if it is to be thrown out of court and we pay his lawyers fees!!
- Did I mention his lawyer called last week and offered us a whomping $200.00??

Filed under: Indonesia, Travel diary | Mots-clés: Ampanam, Boroboudour, Indonesia, Java, Yogyakarta
That's a statement, Indonesians are the most lovely, helpful, smiley people I have ever met. They haven't got much at all, you can tell by the old people still doing very hard work at over 75 years old (like pushing a Cebak) or sitting in the street and ask for money because they can't work to live any more or even sleeping in their Cebak because they haven't got anywhere to live but it doesn't stop them from being happy and offer a big toothless smile to anyone who return them the same.
After going up the Bromo Volcano, we took an 11 hours train trip to Yogyakarta where we settled down for a few days. There's plenty to see in the town as this is the birth place of Indonesian culture. The local specialty is the Batik, a piece of cloth that will patiently be painted with oil and wax. They tell stories and mythes from Java or sometimes even represent various abstract forms. We went to visit one of the many (only!) cultural center and couldn't resist to buy a few as souvenirs. We then went to see the bird market, a big market where they seel all sorts of animals: birds of course but also, geykos, hawls, snakes, cats and dogs (poor things, they were kept in a cage with no room to move!
I'm not going to go through the whole of the day as it would certainly be boring and long but i had to tell you that we have met the sultan of java's sister and she even gave us a present! Yes yes, we were the only tourists there so I believe we looked more important! 🙂 Monday was a big day for Javanese people. There's a big ceremony that happens once a year where they take the Stupas, the sacred bells from the sultan's palace to the mosk.
For the occasion, the sultan's palace is open for visit in the evening, the national orchestra is playing and there's a big fair in front of the palace. But when I say big, it IS big! Our fairs looks like mini games beside of it! Millions of people go in the street to play games (they are so funny!), eat and have fun (no, they don't drink, they are Musulman, I know it's weird
Then yesterday and today, we went to visit two of the Unesco world inheritages: Prambanan and Boroboudour, two amazing Boudists temples. Emily who has seen Angkor Wat was a bit disapointed but I was pretty amazed. These temples are so big and so majestuous. I can't believe people built them in 800ish after JC, even before our French Cathedrals! i was really impressed by the sculptures in Boroboudour
Tomorrow we will are leaving Indonesia to fly to Singapore where we will be spending a couple of days and then we will be heading to Malaysia. I have really liked Indonesia and after the first few days where I was adapting to the heat and the time and the food (I'm finally getting into spicy food since I have no choice and apparently it is good to fight against mosquito's bites!), I feel like South East Asia is really growing into me.

The Lafourche chapter of the NAACP has established a fund and a legal defense team that can represent clients in cases of discrimination, the chapter president said.
The Lafourche chapter of the NAACP has established a fund and a legal defense team that can represent clients in cases of discrimination, the chapter president said.
Thibodaux resident and pastor Nelson Dan Taylor will be the association's attorney in such cases. The Baton Rouge-based J.K. Haynes Legal Defense Fund, for which Taylor is an attorney, is the association's legal team.
Taylor has two cases pending against the Thibodaux Police Department in which he accused police of discriminating against two people. The cases have not yet gone before a judge.
The fund already has some money, President Burnell Tolbert said. The chapter has begun accepting donations.
"There's so much injustice in our criminal justice system, in our jobs," Tolbert said. "People that come to us, that need representation — because you need money for everything — we'll help the ones we feel have a legitimate case, who don't have the money. ... When you file a lawsuit, you're basically asking for accountability."
They will represent cases that involve allegations of discrimination, he said.
"I'm not saying someone should go rob Walmart then come to us," he said.
Tolbert said whether the group takes a case will hinge on the discrimination, not the race. All races, including whites, can be represented through this fund.
"It's not a black thing or a white thing; it's for people, for people that have been treated unfairly," he said.
NAACP headquarters, based in Baltimore, approved the Lafourche branch's fund, Tolbert said.
The Lafourche NAACP plans to open a Capital One account people can donate to, he said. In the meantime, those interested can send donations to NAACP, P.O. Box 45, Thibodaux, LA 70302.
Staff Writer Katie Urbaszewski can be reached at 448-7617 or email@example.com.

It's the year 2000. I'm introduced to Robert Swan, five minutes before he goes onstage to deliver his FAST company keynote address. Mr. Swan is the first person to walk to both poles, from about 700-900 miles away each trip. With generosity, he listens to my story about my father
on Admiral Byrd's III expedition to Antarctica.
Next thing I hear is an announcement from stage-"Will the daughter of George W. Gibbs, Jr. please stand." I stand as Robert Swan adds to his already packed speech, "I'm honored by a man who worked humbly to make one of Admiral Byrd's expeditions successful. The George's of the world, who quietly serve and don't receive much thanks." It's important to know we are not alone.
Together, we build a better world.
This is the first time I acknowledge, in public, my father's accomplishments. I don't even know
(at this time) any details of what happened on the expedition- only that he was a part of it. I feel compelled to connect to this famous explorer and tell him this little known part of Antarctic history.
Robert Swan impressed me that day with his Presence. His willingness and ability to adjust his remarks on the spot is an important model for leadership. It's not all about us. If we're willing to change in an instant, we can make a lasting impact with one small gesture.
Learn more about keeping Mother Earth's last frontier forever protected.
The Story
We are All Antarctica is a story about my father George W. Gibbs, Jr's adventures as the first person of African descent to set foot on the continent of Antarctica. He sailed on the famous ship the USS Bear in 1939 to 1941 on Admiral Byrd's III expedition to the South Pole. It was the first joint venture with the US military and private exploration. Gibbs went on to serve humanity in countless ways, paving the way for not only people of color in the community of Rochester, MN but for all people to become more human, serve their community and appreciate differences.
Through compassion, tenacity, faith and countless hours in the trenches, Gibbs' life is a model for community service, equality and fun. As the lowest rank on the ship, he was honored for his contribution at a time when people with dark skin were considered less than human.
This story integrates my experiences with natural healing, the arts, the science of the ice, the metaphysics of the South Pole and the history of the expedition and its mystery.

Antarctica 2041- Robert Swan Inspires Hope

Every now and again one catches my eye more for the facts than the legal analysis. State v. Bellville affirms the defendant's conviction and sentence, despite the trial court's failure to articulate additional reasons for the term of imprisonment imposed beyond the fact it conformed to the plea agreement: "The court must provide specific reasoning regarding why consecutive sentences are warranted in the particular case. State v. Jacobs, 607 N.W.2d 679, 690 (Iowa 2000). However, where the sentencing court is merely giving effect to the parties' agreement a failure to state reasons for the sentence imposed is not reversible error." Why is the defendant so upset about the court imposing a sentence he agreed to? Well, he can't say he wasn't warned:
On October 7, 2002, authorities investigating a complaint of a suspicious vehicle near Round Lake in Mondamin stopped Bellville's vehicle. Bellville was a passenger in the vehicle. Officers smelled the odor of anhydrous ammonia coming from the vehicle. A search of the occupants and the vehicle resulted in the discovery of marijuana, drug paraphernalia, methamphetamine, anhydrous ammonia in a thermos, lithium batteries, pseudoephedrine, Coleman fuel, plastic tubing, glass and plastic containers, and numerous other items associated with the manufacture of methamphetamine.
Based on this incident, the State charged Bellville with twelve drug offenses.[1] He appeared before the district court in December of 2002 and entered guilty pleas to nine of the original twelve charges.[2] Bellville's guilty pleas were part of an agreement to transfer him to drug court. When Bellville pled guilty, the district court informed him that if he successfully completed the drug court program, all of the charges against him would be dismissed. He was also informed that if he did not successfully complete the program, he would be sentenced to consecutive prison terms. The court accepted Bellville's pleas of guilty and ordered him into treatment as part of the drug court program.
On August 2, 2003, Bellville violated the terms of his probation. Bellville admitted the violation, and on August 28, 2003, the court sentenced him to consecutive terms of imprisonment totaling fifty-two years. In January 2004 the sentencing judge gave Bellville another chance. The court reconsidered Bellville's sentence and returned him to probation under the drug court program.
Bellville violated his probation again in October 2004. He admitted the violation, and the court re-imposed consecutive prison terms totaling fifty-two years.
State v. Colbert rejects the "close enough for government work" concept of restitution.
State v. Poynter deals with the probative/prejudicial line on evidence of other bad acts. During his assault trial, the defendant made a statement on the stand that he wished he could have contacted a certain witness, who would confirm his version of events. He told the court that he was unable to contact the witness because he'd been in jail. The prosecutor and defense counsel argued a bit off the record, and then the State asked: "And I don't want you to tell me what other charges, but you are being held on other charges in the Black Hawk County jail besides this, aren't you?" Poynter answered, "Yes, ma'am." The defendant alleged that was prejudicial and reversible error. The state argued the defendant opened the door to the question, which was necessary to correct any misimpression by the jury that the defendant had been in jail the whole time on the charge at hand, and any temptation toward an acquittal based on the idea the defendant had been punished enough. The Court found the statements inadmissible, but the other evidence against the defendant was too strong to show a reasonable probability that the trial would have ended with a different result had the challenged question and answer not been published to the jury. However, the court then strikes down the consecutive sentences imposed by the trial court: "The district court's sentencing order states in pertinent part:'The sentence adjudged in this case was found to be appropriate by the court following full and fair consideration of the plea agreement between the parties; sentencing goals and objectives; and defendant's prior criminal record.' Here, there was no plea agreement. Poynter was found guilty following a jury trial. We conclude the district court failed to provide sufficient reasons for imposing consecutive sentences." D'oh.
State v. Kunde involved a first-degree arson conviction. The defendant's appeal alleged there was insufficient evidence to show that he knew, or could reasonably have anticipated, that someone was inside the structure at the time he started the fire. The Court's response: the evidence that there were witnesses he saw the victim at the cabin, and the testimony of a witness who'd told him the victim was back in town, combined with the testimony of the victim that he saw Kunde's truck drive by two or three times that day, was sufficient.
State v. Hoskins involves a search based on a confidential informant's tip: The information the informant gave police was that (1) Hoskins was in a bar; (2) his vehicle was parked outside; and (3) he had cocaine on his person. When Hoskins left the bar with a passenger, the officers followed, stopping him after they saw him drive through a red light. Hoskins consented to a search of his person. At that time, Hoskins was not under arrest, and officers had neither found contraband on him nor seen any inside the vehicle. Hoskins refused to allow a search of his vehicle. Because a K-9 unit was temporarily unavailable, the officers proceeded with a search of Hoskins's vehicle. The Court found the search improper:
The informant's statement to Sergeant Meyer is largely conclusory. The informant gave the police no information, innocuous or otherwise, that they could use to corroborate the reliability of this particular tip. . . .
It is clear from the record the informant gave no specific details about the cocaine. It is also clear the informant never advised police that he observed Hoskins selling the drugs. We have already concluded above that the initial stop of Hoskins's vehicle was proper. Thus, the crucial issue before us is whether the warrantless search of Hoskins's vehicle was supported by probable cause. The only information corroborated by law enforcement prior to the search of Hoskins's vehicle was that (1) he was present at the Uptown Lounge and (2) his vehicle was parked outside. There was no independent corroboration of Hoskins's possession of cocaine because the officers never entered the bar. Following the traffic stop, Hoskins was searched and no drugs were located on his person, in contravention of what the informant told Sergeant Meyer. . . .
We conclude there was insufficient probable cause to uphold the search of Hoskins's vehicle.
State v. Polk concerned another sentencing issue. During the sentencing hearing, the Court noted the following:
The other factors that concern me greatly is number one, you were in possession of a social security card, a MasterCard and Shazam card from the John Deere Community Credit Union in the name of another individual, Kevin Dale Cameron. I don't know how you came to be in possession of Mr. Cameron's identity card and his credit card and his Shazam card, but I do find it somewhat coincidental that you were in the line at the John Deere Community Credit Union where those things were from. If you have some information to shed some light on it, I would certainly be interested in it.
And, nonetheless, I'm certainly not making a finding that you have committed another criminal offense in that regard; but those are factors I find to be somewhat aggravating and circumstantially suspect. You were also in possession and [sic] a check for Iris Wright. I don't know how you came to be in possession of those things. No explanation was submitted in regards to that.
You were also in possession of a straightedge razor. That, for somebody who had just been released from completing another sentence, is very disconcerting to me, particularly when it's combined with the fact that you have stated that this was a crime of opportunity. It was an impulsive thing.
None of those factors speak well in your behalf, Mr. Polk; and I think that the 15-year sentence is an appropriate sentence.
The problem: Not only was there no explanation for these items, none of them had actually been charged as crimes. It was pretty obvious that the trial court had relied on this at least in part, so the case was remanded for resentencing. As a side not, the defendant apparently did this one pro se.
Other stuff: speedy trial rules, sufficiency of the evidence on conspiracy to manufacture meth and possession of precursors convictions, an appeal of a defense verdict in a med mal case, work comp and permanent partial disability, statute of limitations and the discovery rule, and a bunch of juvenile cases.

Fred-X, assisted by his European girlfriend Frieda-K and an unscrupulous cardinal from the Vatican, is stealing Italian cats to be sold into the international slave trade. Buzz heads for Italy, taking along his best friend Cincinnati the dancing pig, his pretty and petulant sister Dusty Louise and - as interpreters - the hilariously funny tiny twin pranksters Luigi Panettone Giaccomazza and Luisa Manicotti Giaccomazza. Fighting the greedy forces of evil, they enlist the aid of a band of Greek stunt cats and Il Papa - the pope, himself - in a diabolically clever plot to put an end to the owls' criminal ways once and for all time. ¿¿ As they track Fred-X across the Trentino from Rome to Bolzano to Venezia, they learn a little Italian history and culture and learn to speak considerable Italian.

Thoughts and Aphorisms 32
32. The Atheist is God playing at hide and seek with Himself; but is the Theist any other ? Well, perhaps; for he has seen the shadow of God and clutched at it.
[Sri Aurobindo: Thoughts and Aphorisms]
The Atheist thinks that there is no God, as he, being limited to his senses in his thinking and feeling, does not find Him anywhere or has no contact with Him.
As Sri Aurobindo says, God is playing hide and seek Himself – as and when He is playing hide and seek with the Atheist. In the highest sense of Truth, God is One and All is God – all individual beings are God Himself in their highest consciousness. The human beings are, in Truth and Reality, God Himself, in their deepest and highest consciousness. In the Upanishadic thought, God says : "Eko
". I am alone and will be many. So He became
many. That is His Leela, His play.
Divine himself is the Atheist — in the deepest depth of the Atheist, the Divine exists. So He is playing hide and seek with Himself. A time will definitely come in the life of the Atheist, when he will realize the Divine and find that he himself is the Divine. And he will no more remain an Atheist. The Mother has said : "And yet a day will come, when he will be brought face to face with himself and will be obliged to recognirecognise that he exists."
The Theist is one who thinks and believes that God is there. Mentally, he has seen the shadow of God and thinks and believes that the God is there, as the Creator of the universe and of the Theist himself.
According to Sri Aurobindo, the Theist has not crossed the limit of his mental consciousness and has not realized the Divine – The Divine is in all things and all individual beings. The Theist clings to the shadow of God and does not go beyond.
When the individual being realizes the Divine, there is no Atheist and Theist in his Vision – He realizes : "Aham brahm

Jason Dohring Exclusive 'Veronica Mars' Interview
Focus Film is pleased to release our highly anticipated interview with the leading male from Veronica Mars, Jason Dohring! We got to chat to the star of the wildly anticipated Veronica Mars movie, which hits cinemas across the states on March 14th, with a UK release still to be determined.
Fans of the hit TV show made history when the cast and crew launched it's Kickstarter campaign to raise money for the making of the flick. On March 12, of last year, Rob Thomas who is directing, launched a Kickstarter campaign to turn the much-loved series into a movie. Thomas allowed himself two days to raise $2 million for funding the movie. That goal was met in just under 10 hours! As the Kickstarter account was still running, money kept pouring in from devoted fans, eventually raising a whopping $5,702,153 (which marked a new Kickstarter record).
If that doesn't prove the dedication of the fans of this series, I don't know what will! Check out our exclusive interview below:
Hi Jason, how are you today?
Good, thank you very much!
Now, this movie being made is a huge deal for the fans of the series… Did the fact they were so involved in the process of making the movie make it easier, or did it add a lot pressure to make the film the fans want to see?
No, we didn't even think about the pressure until after the movie had happened, then we were like 'oh yeah, pressure! We probably should have thought about that!'. They were a part of the movie, but it wasn't like they were standing behind the monitors watching, like producers often do. They were in the movie, so in between takes you'd be goofing around with them and stuff like that, which added loads more flavor to the party scenes that were already quite intimate. I think it was actually a beneficial experience to have them there, and it just added to the charm. It was a real priveledge to have them on set.
How did it feel knowing you had such a following behind the movie after the kickstarter campaign reached it target?
Unbelievable! I didn't even know we had so many fans! We only had a couple million people watching the show, so the fact that this percentage, you know 90,000 people, were involved is just incredible! I don't know how we attracted that kind of support for the show. We certainly really enjoyed making the film, and we felt like we wanted to make something we could be really proud of, and you that fans will relate to that in turn. I think that was really a beautiful thing, because you want to make something that will appeal to people and I think we were really able to do that and put our hearts in the project. And I think that's what people got when we launched the campaign, like 'oh my goodness this means something to them!'. Its been very rewarding! I actually just signed autographs for nine and a half hours the other night so I hope that some people will get those soon.
Did you all have any kind of party to celebrate reaching the campaign target with the cast?
Yeah for sure! I was actually out, you know I was in the back yard doing some work on my house. I had the texts rolling in, because, you know, we'd heard for years 'we're going to reschedule but we're going to do this!'. We were each doing our own projects, and we didn't really know how it would happen, or if it would happen. When the news came out, it was pretty remarkable and I just couldn't believe it. I was just kind of in shock. The fact that it was done by the fans shows the support that usually isn't present. It was just unbelieveable, and I remember Kristen calling me that night saying 'Can you believe this?!' Then later my dad was sending me the write ups from Times Magazine. I think it was that time we started to go 'this is really something special'.
You were present at the Veronica Mars comic con panel back in July. Was that the moment when it hit you that this was really a big deal?
I think when they told us we were going to Hall H, we were like 'That's 5,000 people how are we going to fill that up?' You know we showed up and we had even done a smaller event that night with maybe even more diehard fans, and both events were really amazing. You just get to feel the emotion of the people. I guess there is a sense of pride from them, that they put in their own money to make it. They say 'our movie,' our movie is getting made!' And its true. It would not have gotten done without the fans, and I think that's something to remark on.
So what was like being reunited with the cast on set?
We did the show in 2007 but we had all stayed in touch, and we're really great friends. We would go on vacations together with Kristen and Ryan, we'd be riding snow mobiles, with Ryan doing crazy jumps and flips and stuff like that. So we were all buddies, you know. I think that that never waned, even when the show had ended. Obviously we're on set in a work environment and everybody's geared toward creating something special. Then we had the fan interaction which was something very unique in a work setting, and it's a great script. Rob had it in mind from the very beginning and he had the script all laid out before. He kept telling us bits and pieces, and we were on the edge of our seats. Its been so exciting, and I think because of that passion we were going to make a fantastic movie. It's a fantastic story and has all the action the fans want to see, for sure.
Do you have any fun stories from behind the scenes on set?
Well, you would have fans standing in high heels for the party scenes for like 16 hours and they'd be like, 'thank you so much for letting me be here!' and we would be there like, 'you're in high heels, are you speaking sense?!' One of the fans, for his engagement to his wife, had brought her and him out to be on the set of the movie, and we had people flying in from [as far as] Tokyo. On set I think, with the fans who were extras, we had the most active background that's ever been seen in film!
How did it feel transitioning such a loved television program into a film? Because obviously its obviously a very different medium.
I think it came across as more cinematic than our show. Although the show had its own aspects and colours, I think they are even more present here. Its darker, and generally looks more cinematic. We shot similar days to what we did on the TV show as far as pages covered in a day. I guess it basically just felt the same as the TV show, because I was there with all the same people. It felt like a new project, but it felt like an old project at the same time. It was like, 'oh we're back on set, I know the characters, I'm not unfamiliar. I know the relationships (generally speaking) and whats going down,' so in that respect it was a little bit more care free which was nice.
So did you find it quite easy getting back into the role of Logan?
Yeah for sure, I mean this is probably one of the most fun characters I've ever done and obviously you jump at the chance to be able to do it again. The character is written with such depth and great jackassery. From his comedy to sarcasm, its all present. Then you have his relationship with his father that is very strained and bitter. The relationship with some of the most touching scenes that I've gotten to do, is with Veronica's character. So I think it was just a dream role really, just coming out of acting school you're like 'please just give me a character to explore that isn't in a commercial!'
So perhaps the most anticipated part of the movie is Logan and Veronica's relationship. How central is Logan and Veronica's previous relationship to this movie? We understand you cant give too much away, but the fans wanted to know!
I think what's cool is the way they've set it up. Its not like they've seen each other in seven or ten years, they're kind of cold. The film picks up where they haven't seen each other in so long, so you're gonna get to see them see each other on film for the first time. That scene is written into the movie where they first see each other, so that's cool. There's definitely some kind of underlying tension [between them] or their relationship. Its cool, because how often does it happen that you get to make a film, and you already have 16 hours film experience with that character?
It's a pretty unique thing…
Its so unique! So its like, 'ok cool, I got it'. And in a way its like when you think of Game of Thrones, where all the books exist so you can just read them, and now you're starting with the first book but you have all that experience and knowledge of what the character has gone through. It just gives you a wider sphere in which to play the character, so its great to play part of a relationship that has already been established and that we know really well.
How much, if anything, will we get to hear about what happened to Logan over the past 9 years?
You'll definitely hear some things! He was able to find some discipline in his life, but even so he's still going to be himself. He still has a lot of witty dialogue, and Rob always writes these great one-liners which I'm ashamed to take all the credit for. I wish I did have wit!
So we saw how badly Logan dealt with breaking up with Veronica the first time around, how did he cope with her leaving Neptune?
I think that's when he got more disciplined perhaps. He needed to find something to direct his interest into, and I think that's what you wind up seeing. That's what Rob is so good at, he just writes things that make sense for the characters.
Did you return to San Diego for the filming of this movie?
No! We were mainly going to shoot in Vancouver or Louisiana, then when the money rolled in we were like, 'hey manybe we can do Hawaii!' We finally decided on Los Angeles, which is great because Kristen has her family here, and we were all from here so it was just great to be able to come home at the end of the day. Instead of going to a hotel room, we got to go home, so we're indebted to the fans for that as well, because I think that we didn't really want to shoot in Vancouver. We wanted palm trees in our shots and such, and that's what made Veronica Mars Veronica Mars. We really wanted to bring that stuff into it, because that made Neptune. I think we've done a good job – well I hope!
You seem to mainly gravitate toward TV, are you interested in getting involved more in movies?
Yeah, I just shot a movie in LA and I did Woke Up in Canada just before that so I think I will get into films as well, but I guess even in retrospect having done TV at a time when TV was really getting good has sort of made me realize that TV is pretty good! I work every week, if you're on a show with good writing that just kind of a dream. I want to get to explore a character for 40 to 100 hours instead of two hours when you introduce all the characters, have the middle and then end in two hours. I will definitely do more films, you never know which way it goes. I certainly never thought we'd get to make a Veronica Mars movie in the way we did it but you cant say you wouldn't be open to more experiences like that which are such unique experiences. I'm thankful for any opportunities that come up in both areas.
What do you have lined up after the release of Veronica Mars, any more movie work?
I just did a TV show up in Canada, then a sports movie called The Squeeze coming out later this year or next year. Then we have all the premiere stuff for Veronica in March, so it'll be quite busy. We got to rent out an exclusive golf course in Las Vegas [for The Squeeze] which is usually off limits so it was really cool. It's a really great true story, and I play a professional golfer.
Do you know if there is going to be any kind of Veronica Mars international press tour for your European fans?
I don't know, I haven't heard one way or another on it. I guess that's what we're thanking you for – spreading the word. I've been to the UK a couple of times to meet fans, and it's wonderful. We're always warmly received, and we really appreciate your efforts to help us support the movie!
We hope you enjoyed Jason's interview. He shared some pretty interesting stuff about the movie, so let us know what you think in the comments section below! You can watch the trailer right here too, to renew that excitement for March 14th!

I didn't get to fix all the spelling, grammar, and punctuation issues in this article, but I'll try and edit it later. I'm cringing just reading it. The interview is really awesome, so I had to post it regardless. :) HOPE this puts to rest the rumors that the cast members are not friends...
Don't forget to vote for Veronica Mars in the MTV Movie Brawl. They're in the final 4 </i>

Cecilia Powell, Turner in the South: Rome, Naples, Florence, New Haven and London 1987, pp.[88] note 79, 125 note 65, 176 note 18.
Turner thoroughly explored the Roman Forum (Campo Vaccino) and made numerous sketches from various angles. This view of the eastern end from the north-west is continued from the opposite sheet of the double-page spread, see folio 58 verso (D15406; Turner Bequest CLXXXII 57a). It shows the campanile of Santa Francesca Romana with the arches of the Colosseum beyond. On the right can be seen the Arch of Titus which in Turner's day was not fully excavated and had accretions on either side. For a general discussion of the Forum see folio 32 (D15355).
The rest of the page contains several rapidly drawn landscape views running horizontally across with the sketchbook held in portrait format. These sketches appear to show ruins and monuments seen from a distance and Turner's written notes beneath suggests that these could include the Roman remains of the Aqua Claudia and the sixteenth-century Aqua Felix near 'Porta Furba', a gate a couple of miles south-east from the Porta Maggiore where the two aqueducts once met. He also indicates the outline of distant 'Mount Soracte' (also known as Soratte), a mountain ridge to the north of Rome. Other inscriptions record atmospheric effects. As was often the case the Roman Campagna reminded him of the work of the eighteenth-century Welsh landscape painter, Richard Wilson (1713–1782), see folio 26 verso (D15344).
Some of the smaller landscape sketches overlap with the horizontal view of the Forum. The latter was probably the later addition, drawn as an extension to the vista on the previous page.

No Anchorman 3/
If you are one of those that suffered through the Anchorman 2 movie like we did, we have good news for you.
There will be no Anchorman 3.
While the original Anchorman was a hit, especially with those that work in TV news, the sequel was a painful bomb that was hard to sit through.
Anchorman Director Adam McKay says it looks like the franchise will end with the Anchorman 2 flop. He says there is no plans for another one.
"It's done. I think that's it. It was great to do it and it was so fun to work with those guys again, but I think that's it for Ron Burgundy… No, [Anchorman 2] is the last sequel we're gonna do. There's nothing more fun to me than new characters and a new world. And now we're releasing this alt version, we're totally satisfied. No Anchorman 3," said McKay.


text: We're now offering fantastic portrait parties at our Photography studio in Chesterfield, Derbyshire. The session below with Gemma was the first of these new shoots, and the girls all had a fantastic time! [nggallery id=6] These parties are perfect for girls aged 10-16 years old who are looking for a fun and exciting birthday. Girls of this age there's don't have many options for having a great party with their friends – cinema, bowling or Pizza Hut seem to be the popular choices. With our 2 hours studio photography sessions they have the chance to dress up and strike a pose! They can bring their own music, snacks and drinks, and just have fun with their friends while we go through a range of group and individual shots. Just a couple of weeks after the portrait party we invite the birthday girl and her family back to our studio for a viewing of the images from the session. This is also a great opportunity for mum and dad to get their daughter a wonderful portrait present that will last a lifetime. Special thanks to Gemma and her mum for allowing us to show these images.

Great price and service. Color was a perfect match. Would not go any where else. Wish all suppliers were as good! Thanks again - Ken
Very good stuff, color match looks perfect to me. The aerosol cans are a tiny bit splattery, but you probably wouldn't use them if you were going for perfection anyway. Still 1000x better than a competitor's cans I'd used before. The clear coat goes on really nice.

greetings from Santiago, Chile
Greetings from Santiago, Chile
I discovered the Fresh Loaf while looking for information on using toasted flour in bread. Here in Chile, the Mapuche, Chile's major indigenous culture, make "murke" a toasted wheat and flax flour, used mainly to make a refreshing drink when stirred into cold water with honey. I thought it would be an interesting bread ingredient, and ended up googling "toasted flour bread" and finding The Fresh Loaf—I'll report on the results.
I'm delighted to find some kindred spirits. I have been baking bread, mostly sour dough, for 40+ years, and have continued to do so since marring a Chilena and moving here in a couple of years ago. I've had to adapt a bit since some things I had grown accustomed to are unavailable (or at least I haven't found them: higher protein bread flour, vital gluten, caraway seeds), and once while out of the country the person staying in our house threw out my starter. Fortunately, I had taken a bit with me and was able to get started again.The most popular traditional Chilean breads are marraquetas, French bread style rolls, and hallullas (a youh yas), flat round yeast breads with abundant lard. Supermarket bakeries have a wide variety of packaged and artisan style breads of varying quality and empanadas are available most everywhere. And of course, the wine is wonderful and inexpensive. Best wishes to all. I look forward to participating in the forum.

The chairman of the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) Giles Clarke appeared confident of holding a five-match One-Day series against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and then later a Test series between the two countries in Sri Lanka.
However, this plan is still not confirmed as the director of the ECB John Carr begged to differ with the chairman as he doubted the finalized schedule of the bilateral series the way it had been revealed by Clarke.
According to sources the series might be broken into two, with the ODIs taking place first, in UAE, and then later a two-Test match series in Sri Lanka.
However, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is also not sure about the workable schedule of the series and an official of the PCB, while commenting on the recent remarks by the ECB chairman said, "they have not confirmed this schedule, neither the venue nor the break up."
Meanwhile, according to insiders, the PCB has also not decided whether to play the series in the UAE. However, due to England's refusal to play in Pakistan, the board does not have any other option but to hold the event at a neutral venue.
UAE's cricketing facilities were used by the PCB last year in a series against South Africa and there is a possibility of doing it again, once it is confirmed that England are indeed going to play Pakistan.
An ODI series against Pakistan before Christmas will add great pressure on the newly appointed one-day skipper Alastair Cook, who will be leading his side in almost ten one-day matches in a span of six weeks against the likes of India and Pakistan.
Meanwhile, the PCB is under tremendous pressure to convince foreign teams to tour Pakistan but all efforts have failed and the country is yet to see a high profile international tournament to be played on home soil.
Foreign teams have refrained from playing in Pakistan since the 2009 terrorist attacks on the Sri Lankan team in Lahore. The attack injured seven Lankans and claimed the lives of eight Pakistanis.
It was only last month when the Afghan cricket team toured Pakistan since the fateful terrorist attack. However, the tour did not attract international attention and failed to convince other teams to follow suit.

My newest weird test result is a high vitamin D level- 92 point something at a lab that goes up to 75. And I'm not even supplementing! The doctor left a message but it's too late to get back to her today.
I finally have insurance coverage for my Dexcom sensors, which is great. I got sent an invoice about a week ago that at first I thought was amusing, but the more I look at it, the less amused I am.
To review: if you are buying Dexcom sensors, you will be told the price for a box is 319 dollars per box, unless you are willing to buy at least six boxes in a twelve month period, in which case the price is 289 dollars per box.
On this invoice, it says that the list price is 460 dollars per box, but that my insurance (BCBS-IL) has contracted with Dexcom and received the lower price of $261.52 per box, and that for the two boxes I just got, the price is therefore $523.04 of which I paid $52.30 and insurance is expected to make up the difference.
And, just, I don't get it. Why does Dexcom have a list price of $460? Why contract with my insurance for $261.52 when uninsured patients, who require less paperwork and processing (though probably use the Dexcom less continuously) pay 289 plus shipping and handling?

Today, I ate oatmeal, frozen yogurt, a rice cake, a banana, two sushi rolls, and a huge plate of pad thai. Looking at that list, most people would say my food choices were pretty harmless today.
I could take the assumed pass… or I could be completely honest with myself. I guess I'll choose honesty. Here it goes…
It started out all wrong, from the very first bite. Minutes after eating my first delicious, warm bite of oatmeal, I started feeling light-headed… and before long, my gut started feeling clogged and queasy. My gut was so discontent, it squealed and rumbled in protest. Before I knew it, I was curled up in bed, under the blankets, with a full-blown head-ache and stomach pain. The worst part is this though. I knew this about oatmeal. I knew oatmeal had no intention of providing me with digestive comfort. In fact, I knew it would most likely leave me in pain. I have known this since 2009.
Back then, I had just stumbled upon food intolerances and avidly started using pulse tests to see how I reacted to certain foods. I vividly remember waking up one morning and lazily preparing to test a suspected culprit I had in mind. I sat sleepily at the kitchen table and tested my resting pulse (~75 b.p.m.) with a hot bowl of oatmeal in front of me. Soon enough, I was spooning the wholesome grains into my mouth, slowly and cautiously… feeling and waiting. At first, I felt that "warm" heavy feeling that would always languidly wash over me, a feeling I have always passed off as "comfort" and "nourishment". But then I did my first pulse test at 5 minutes–my pulse had raced to a whopping 117 b.p.m., resting! I was floored! Alas, even with the evidence to support the sad news, I have been in denial for years. I did take some time off from my old, oaty friend. But, I keep coming back to give it chances, even after continuous confirmations that we just weren't meant to be. I just keep hoping that someday that might change. So far, it hasn't.
As if breakfast woes weren't disappointing enough, I begged my significant other for some frozen yogurt at Menchie's. I tried to justify my decision by thinking "live cultures" in my head and by getting the "no sugar added" Grasshopper with only fruit toppings. But I knew better. And all that rice in the sushi rolls? Followed immediately by super saucy rice noodles, eggs, and scallions? Oh, what on Earth was I thinking?
I can tell you exactly what I was thinking. I was at the point of intense craving and desperation. The reason this began was because of poor planning on my part. A trip to the grocery store for AIP/low-FODMAP foods was overdue. And I overbooked myself, time-wise. I made time to go grocery shopping this morning, but instead of having time to eat the food I bought, I had to rush to an appointment with a rice cake and banana. Needless to say, that was not so satisfying. I was hungry. Very hungry.
Mistakes happen. But I have two thoughts I'm grappling with. How can I get back on track after such crushing failure? And how can I prevent things like this from happening again? I think I've already answered the second question, I just need to work on actually implementing it (it's all about planning!)
As for getting back on track after failure… I believe I need to forgive myself and just pick myself up, dust myself off, wait for the aches and pains to subside, and move forward from here.
I keep coming across stories of people who have "lived without grains for 5 years," or "don't miss milk at all," among other things. I don't know how people get to this point where they no longer feel the desire to eat foods they once loved. How could I get to that point? Can I? And if so, how can I balance my schedule in a way that will help me plan so I can prevent caving in like I did today? I am working on the later question. As for the first, I don't know if that goal is ultimately what I want to attain. I want to feel and be healthy. That is my main goal. And if I can attain that while still including more foods in my diet, by all means, I'm for that!
Luckily, a lot of GI diets are not ones that eliminate most foods forever. Some foods may have to be banned forever to prevent flare-ups, but for the most part, foods can be re-introduced in moderation after a certain amount of time has passed. For me, setting a 2-week goal is reasonable and reminds me that this period of restrictive eating is not forever. Sure, I will still have to control what I eat as I reintroduce foods, but it eases my mind to know I won't have to choose from 10 foods to eat for the rest of my life. Focusing on the idea that I can only choose very few foods to eat for the rest of my days makes me want to splurge on all the things I want now and just give all this healthy-eating stuff up.
I wrote an earlier post about loving yourself. You can argue that allowing yourself to eat treats you crave is showing yourself love. But think about the parents that force their kids to eat healthy, study hard in school, follow safety rules, etc. And then think about parents that let their kids do whatever they want. Are the parents that give into their kids' wants showing their kids more love than the parents who are strict and force their kids to make more thoughtful decisions about their futures? Of course, a kid always appreciates a treat here and there. But providing structure for your growing (and inexperienced) child so that s/he thrives completely is a decision you have to make as a parent. Think of your mind as the parent of your body. A body in an addictive state isn't always going to know what's best… On the other hand, a mind armed with knowledge and reason is fit to make the best long-term decisions for the future.

zebra libra friend
Yay! I finally got started on my second idea for a creature/animal costume. i was initially thinking i would be creating a sea monster, something identical to my beltane costume but in black and white. i cut the foam, sewed some fabric together and a few hours later i realized i was making something more like a zebra or a horse. it's fun to be surprised even if i'm the one making all the decisions.

The Globe and Mail piece today by Kirk Makin outlines an example of what can go wrong when the separation of powers between the judiciary, the police and prosecutors get clouded.
The disturbing reality in the Truscott story is captured in this quotation:
"Defence counsel Phil Campbell told the court that the true nature of the evidence in the case was distorted and concealed for decades. "This kind of case -- where evidence starts to conform to the charge, rather than the charge conforming to the evidence -- is the hallmark of so many wrongful convictions."
"Mr. Campbell said that an honest belief held by Mr. Truscott's trial lawyer, Frank Donnelly -- that police and prosecutors would not mislead him about the exculpatory evidence -- was sadly misplaced. He said that Mr. Donnelly was far too diligent to have ignored evidence that would have bolstered his case."
"He was defending a 14-year-old boy he was attempting to keep from the gallows," Mr. Campbell said. "There is no way he would take it on the chin . . . if he knew there was a body of evidence that he could use to rebut the Crown and turn it to his advantage."
"Mr. Campbell said that, almost 50 years later, a combination of sound science, new witnesses and the unearthing of long-buried witness statements point directly toward Mr. Truscott's innocence. "
Here we have examples of suppressed evidence that might have proven the innocence of a citizen at trial. As a result a potentially innocent life is destroyed by the system. We have to await the decision of the Ontario Court of Appeal on the Truscott case to be conclusive about this.
We have, in the meantime, evidence that in Truscott' s trial prosecutors and police colluded to withhold evidence that did serious harm to a citizen's rights and freedom. That citizen was a 14 year old boy at that. It brings our system of justice into question. Why did they do this in the first place? To win at all costs?
What if the primary success factor of the legal system was measured by how well the police, prosecutors and judges were at "getting hard on crime" as Prime Minister Harper says he wants? Does that mean the system is successful if it gets a "win" by getting a conviction by what ever means it takes? Again at what cost will this be to our legal protections, the rule of law and the professional and independent role of the Bench, the presumption of innocence and due process?
I don't know if that "win at all costs" attitude was the motivation in the original Truscott trial or the many other wrongful convictions that are now coming to light. But I do know if the test of a "successful" legal system is to get tough on crime and a conviction at all costs, that encourages the suppression of exculpating evidence. Then ask yourself, what kind of a chance will an ordinary citizen have in such a "justice" culture?
Imagine for a moment how vulnerable we all become in the face of such a system. The only real protections we have had so far is a qualified Bar along with independent Bench whose only master is a total dedication to a system based on the rule of law. If there is any equivocation of that dedication because it is fettered in any way by a political agenda of powerful people in the government, then, as Shakespeare said "…the state doth totter."
Prime Minister Harper's inappropriate meddling in the Judicial Review Committee structure and process is inviting the state to totter. This is not some political posturing prank or a petty minded attack ad silliness. This recent action by the Prime Minister is designed and intended to increase the political influence on judicial recommendations and to disrupt the balance in the judicial review process. By the Harper government's own admission in Question Period on February 13, the existing system was working. (see my post yesterday).
Harper is now able to use his political discretion by accepting or rejecting the judicial appointment recommendations from the current review process. His recent political actions to extend his political influence into the judicial review committee itself are a danger and a threat to the freedoms of every citizen. It must not be tolerated in a free and democratic society.

The New York Yankees have had quite a week, first Mark Teixeira announced his retirement and now so did Alex Rodriguez although it was more of a forced retirement into a consulting role. The Yankees defeated the Cleveland Indians on Sunday afternoon. The game took place at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, New York and the final score was 3-2. Masahiro Tanaka started for the Yankees and pitched very well and the bullpen did a pretty good job. The Yankees offense only managed five hits.
Tanaka pitched six innings giving up six hits and a run with no walks and eight strikeouts. He won his eighth game of the season. Adam Warren pitched an inning giving up a hit and a walk, Tyler Clippard pitched 2/3 of an inning giving up an unearned run and a walk with two strikeouts and Dellin Betances saved his second game of the season. He pitched 1 1/3 innings giving up a hit and a walk with two strikeouts.
Carlos Carrasco pitched seven innings giving up five hits and three runs with two walks and nine strikeouts. Carrasco lost his sixth game of the season. Cody Allen pitched a perfect inning striking out the side.
Brett Gardner had a hit, Jacoby Ellsbury had a hit, an RBI and drew a walk and Mark Teixeira had a hit and an RBI. Brian McCann drew a walk, Didi Gregorius had a hit and an RBI and Rob Refsnyder had a hit. Teixeira hit a double, Gardner hit a triple and Gregorius hit a homerun. the Yankees were 0-2 with runners in scoring position and left four men on base. Refsnyder, Gregorius and Romine each committed an error.
Jason Kipnis drew a walk, Francisco Lindor had a hit and Mike Napoli had a hit. Jose Ramirez had two hits and drew a walk, Rajai Davis had a hit and drew a walk and Roberto Perez had two hits and an RBI. Chris Gimenez had a hit, Perez and Davis each hit a double and the Indians were 1-8 with runners in scoring position and they left nine men on base.
In the first Ellsbury hit a sac fly to give the Yankees a 1-0 lead. In the fourth Gregorius hit a solo homerun to extend the lead to 2-0. Teixeira hit an RBI double in the fifth and it was 3-0 Yankees. In the seventh Perez hit an RBI single to cut the lead to 3-1 and then a wild pitch made it 3-2 in the eighth and that would be the final score.
The Yankees took two out of three in the series and will have an off day on Monday. They will head to Boston for a three game series beginning on Tuesday night and then return home on Friday night for the final game of Alex Rodriguez career.

It's getting to be college basketball preview time and you'll remember that Colton Iverson, who used to be part of the Gophers time-share at center with Ralph Sampson III, left the U and is now eligible at Colorado State.
In this preview of the Mountain West Conference, Colorado State is seen as a sleeper pick to win the title. Experience is part of the team's strength and some of that comes from "Minnesota transfer Colton Iverson. The 6-10 big man gives Colorado State a different dimension and should be an immediate contributor."
Meanwhile, the website TheHoopsReport.com ranks Colorado State as No. 51 in the country and points out that the "Rams return four starters from an NCAA Tourney team and add much needed size with Minnesota transfer Colton Iverson. The entire starting lineup will be comprised of seniors. That is great news for a first year coach (Larry Eustachy) looking to take a team to their second straight NCAA Tournament appearance."
Here are Iverson's career stats at the U, if you need a refresher.
Meanwhile, former Hopkins High star Anthony Diloreto is showing that there's always going to be another opportunity if you're 7-foot-1. You may remember that Diloreto was arrested and reached a plea agreement in a 2008 bank robbery in western Wisconsin, which cost him a basketball scholarship to Cal Poly. He then went to Utah State, where he was kicked off the team in 2010, several months after he was suspended for possession of marijuana.
He played the 2010-11 season at a junior college in Idaho and now -- depending on how you count -- is getting a chance at school No. 3 or 4.
Diloreto is on the roster at Crown College in St. Bonifacius, where he'll attempt to help an Upper Midwest Athletic Conference team that finished 7-18 last season.
Crown coach Luke Herbert said that Diloreto enrolled last year at the school, which has about 620 undergraduates, without being recruited and "he's doing great academically."
Diloreto's new teammates are aware of his past and have been supportive. "Being at a small school has provided a really good structure for him," Herbert said. "I think it's a good fit."

QUICK REMINDER: The bloggers will be doing a Knight Chat, a chat room with current students and prospective students, TOMORROW NIGHT (Nov. 15, 2010) at 7:30 - 9 pm EST. Come ask questions or just chat! http://bit.ly/dkYj3p
I just can't handle it!
Or how about? Thm, Thm. Thm, thm, ba, da, thm, thm, ba da.
Or maybe even... Sweet dreams are made of this, who am I to disagaree?
Well, these are part of songs we are doing in Acabellas. I had my first rehearsal last Thursday. It was really fun. The girls are all ridiculously nice and obviously very good singers. We are working on "This Thing Called Love" and "Sweet Dreams" and "Seaside Rendezvous" which will be done in collaboration with the all-men a capella group Mike Check. I'm so thrilled to be a part of the group!
This was before my first rehearsal, but they performed "Sunday Morning" by Maroon 5. It was SO good! And it was a beautiful day and it really made my 10 times better!
I'm hoping to record some of the upcoming rehearsals to share with you here!
In other news, I wrote the news again in the SMC Defender. My article was on the Women's Ice Hockey team and there goals for the season. While the topic (to me) wasn't ground breaking or all that interesting, it was great experience in sports writing. In particular, it was great to write about a sport I know so little about.
So that is my latest news. Remember that if you have questions for me about Saint Mike's, feel free to check out the "Ask Questions About SMC" tab above or the "Contact Me" tab which has my email address. I'm always available to answer questions. So fire away!

I'm in a bit of a flump today. It's one of those "What Do I Want To Do With My Life / I Don't Like My Job / Why Is The Right Lens Of My Glasses Scratched / I Have No Nice Clothes / My Skin Is Sh*t / Oh God I Think My A$s Is Starting to Head South / Why Are People So Rude / Will That Kid Ever Shut Up / Ah Crap Another Broken Nail" all-inclusive flumps.
The fact that it's Monday isn't helping, needless to say. Vilified in song by The Mamas + The Papas, The Bangles and The Boomtown Rats, Mondays are really only any good if they're preceded by the words "Bank Holiday". And sure there isn't another one of those for weeks.
Oh well. At least it's nearly lunchtime.

Met Office forecasters have issued a yellow weather warning for potential snowfall in West Yorkshire.
The warning is in place from 5pm throughout the county and forecasters say there may be wintry showers leading to between two and five centimetres of snow on high grounds.
An area of more organised showers will move south across northern England during Wednesday evening. The showers will fall as sleet, snow and hail on high ground, before turning to rain within a few hours.
The Met Office said: "The public should be aware of the possibility of difficult driving conditions and some minor travel disruption on higher Pennine routes.
"An occlusion will bring a band of more organised showers south across many parts of northern England during Wednesday evening.
"The air will be cold enough for snow to fall over high ground, although less cold air will quickly follow from the northeast, such that snow will turn to rain with any lying snow melting."
Any snowfall is anticipated to cause minor disruption.

What we think or what we know or what we believe is in the end of little consequence. The only consequence is what we do! - John Ruskin
Yes, we are all still well and alive. The trip was fantastic and such a good decision to not make the full Van Isle Circumnavigation. We revised our sail plan because of the wide spread Environment Canada Gale Force weather warnings along the West Coast of Vancouver Island. Thus we made a revised sail plan to include the Broughton Islands, Desolation Sound and the Gulf of Georgia.
We made it back to Ladysmith after heading up to the Johnstone Straits, through the Broughtons with crew change in Port McNeil. A fantastic sail down Johnstone Strait and through Sunderland Channel to make our way to Desolation Sound and back to Ladysmith.
I have not had internet and once back to Ladysmith on August 3rd I was on another boat until last night the 10th. I leave again for Voyager for another trip and will catch up with the blog when I return later this week.
So much to share. The women that stayed and continued on had a fantastic experience. We saw whales, bears, eagles, dolphins, so many sea birds, interesting and challenging weather and most important our boat worked really well after fixing the technical challenges.
Thanks for your patience and I look forward to sharing so much with you.
Until next week ...keep smiling

A new semester has begun and I am still in disbelief that the year is coming to an end so quickly. This semester started out with a bang. Our class was bombarded with a heavy workload from day one. I am taking an assortment of elective classes that really delve into specific niches within the pharmacology world. For instance, I have a class dedicated to the advances in cardiobiology, endocrine pharmacology, mechanisms of cell control, and environmental signaling in medicine. I just finished my neurology block for this semester. I never had a strong background with neurology and I just felt like a sponge in every class because 90% of the information was brand new to me. There was a mix reaction to the information by my peers. Some students were adding to the conversation and some students like me were just sitting there taking in all of the information. It goes to show how diverse our class in terms of educational backgrounds. I was hoping to start volunteering this month but a bittersweet scheduling issue came to be this month where I wasn't able to volunteer at either of the programs I was involved with last semester. The schools didn't come back from their winter breaks until the middle of the month. I have finally gotten involved with research and I had two interviews in consecutive weeks towards the end of the month. Due to my scheduling conflicts, I have planned to double my outreach efforts this next month.
Volunteer hours: 0

Whipped Sweet Potato Bake
Ed had never tasted sweet potatoes before. I am not a big fan of them myself. But I wanted to try out this recipe for future reference and Ed is a good taste tester, since he isn't as picky as I am. This recipe looked fairly simple and had some nice reviews and tips on extra stuff to add in. For this first time making it, I followed the recipe exactly. Next time I will experiment with some of the suggestions. I will include a few of the reviewers tips at the end.
3 (15 ounce) cans sweet potatoes, drained
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted (I used real butter)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
24 medium sized marshmallows
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Beat sweet potatoes, butter, cinnamon, salt, and the nutmeg in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on med speed until well blended.
2. Spoon into lightly greased 1-1/2 qt. baking dish; top with marshmallows.
3. Bake 15-20 minutes or until sweet potato mixture is heated through and marshmallows are lightly browned.
Makes 10 servings.
Nutrition info: Per Server: Calories 211, Carbs 40g, Dietary Fiber 2g, Fat 4g, Protein 2g, Sugars 29g.
1. add some crushed pineapple to the potato mixture.

This tip applies to solo road tripping as well, now that I think about it, as a way to keep the car organized.
My first tip for women (or anyone!) who want to re-invent themselves by making a long-distance move on their own* is to bring a lot of tote bags. This is a good tip for busy people in general, I guess, but I've found it especially useful of late.
Even if you don't bring a lot of stuff with you, you'll accumulate stuff. You'll find that it's hard to live out of suitcases, without furniture, with a mattress on the floor, and without basics that you either forgot or felt you didn't need or thought you could just buy when you got there...but then once you got there, didn't want to buy all at once because holy crap is moving expensive!
Furniture, especially things with drawers, helps keep you organized. But it's expensive! It's large and difficult to move! When you first get there (wherever There is), you might be in a temporary apartment. You don't want to buy furniture that you'll have to move again!
Unless your suitcases are better than mine and have lots of little compartments, living out of a suitcase is not sustainable in the long term. It will make you batty. At least, it made me batty.
It did not have separate compartments for undergarments, socks, and other clothing. I could only layer things. And you know what, some mornings, sorting through each layer trying to find underwear, pants/skirt, a matching top, and socks is absolutely maddening. Because to get to what you want, you have to sort through each little layer after layer. If you're in a hurry, you'll end up removing things from the suitcase not so carefully. Then you'll have a mess and you'll never find that underwear easily again.
Use #1 for Tote Bags - Organize the stuff you already have.
Why can't I just use plastic grocery bags? you may say. After all, they are free!
Because they flop over. Tote bags stand up.
Another benefit of tote bags is that they are open at the top, enabling you to see inside them and know just what you have.
Use #2 for Tote Bags - Hide your mess.
While you don't have a lot of furniture and places to store things, you may find that your stuff ends up in massive, crazy piles. And then you want to have someone over to visit. Or just you want to have clear floor space so you can THINK (or walk.)
It's good to have a few free tote bags to just throw everything in. A tote bag for Miscellaneous or Etc. or To Be Sorted Later. Sometimes you just don't have time to sort and put everything away! It's okay! You're too busy working at your new job to earn money for furniture, going on blind dates or to Meetups to make friends, or exploring your new place, or going to cafes to work on your novel/resume. That's what you should be doing, not spending your whole life organizing your stuff.
Use #3 - Similar to #1 and #2, with a touch of drama.
If you ever have to move out of a place in a hurry, because it feels unsafe or you're not on a legal lease or BOTH of these things, you can throw all your stuff in tote bags like #2. And then when you're unpacking, trying to sort through this chaotic mess of stuff, the tote bags can be used to sort things, since you don't have time to put everything away all at once.
You are busy looking for work, going to Meetups and making friends, going on blind dates, going to cafes to work on your novel/resume, or exploring your new neighborhood. You don't have time to spend the one sunny day this week** unpacking and putting away everything you own. And you don't have to!
You can have a tote bag reserved for out-of-season clothing (to be put away later.) You have a tote bag reserved for in-season clothing (to be hung up later.) You can have a tote bag reserved for craft project supplies, for Things that Go in the Bathroom When I Have Time to Go in There and Arrange Things Nicely, for Things that Go in the Kitchen, for Things that Go Back in the Car, and for Things I Don't Know What to do With Yet (aka Etc/Miscellaneous/To Be Sorted Later.)

Another good thing to have is Decorative Fabric. This can be one of those wall hanging/couch cover pieces of hippie fabric from the college decor section of a store, a tablecloth, a lovely blanket, or just a random piece of fabric. You can stack your tote bags, boxes, or just piles of crap, and cover them with "decorative fabric." That is a good way to hide mess when guests come over. They don't even look at it, unless you say to them, "Don't look under that decorative fabric!" And why would anyone say that? Because I have a big mouth and a faulty inner censor.
* Boy, I need to find a way to shorten this!
** Which may be the last sunny day in Portland until June!
