The star of this game was undeniably Travis Wood. Look at him fielding that line drive. 7 innings, and only two hits; good luck in the world series, little badass.
Ohlendorf, on the other hand, was pretty damned inscrutable. He went 0-2 to Brandon Phillips and for a moment Bucco fans smiled. Then he threw about 8 consecutive balls and that smile left the building. Ohlendorf made it five innings, went over a hundred pitches, gave up five hits, four walks and collected 3 earned runs.
Bizarrely, he also managed to get 4 strikeouts and actually managed to keep us in the game. If I were a Reds fan, I would have definitely wanted the blowout win that this game threatened to turn into at times. Definitely not one of Ohlendorf's best starts, but not bad for a guy who caught a line drive to the head during his last start.
Amazingly, he also caught a line drive to the leg in this start as well. His smile indicates that he at least recognized the humor in it.
As a Pirates fan, I am not very well-acquainted with The Right Stuff, but this rookie has it in droves. A starting pitcher with an ERA of under 3.
Ross Reacts.
Ross Reacts Some More.
Jose Tabata's 12-game hitting streak was snapped in this game. The Pirates only managed to get three singles throughout the game, and when Tabata, McCutchen and Jones aren't hitting, we are going to fall well short of our 3-runs-per-game average.
This game marked the debut of catcher Chris Snyder, acquired from the Diamondbacks shortly before the trade deadline. Straight into the fire went Chris; this game provided a wholly accurate taste of what this season has unfortunately been all about.
With the recent loss of almost all of our bullpen, relief pitching has been something of a concern. Of course, having a solid bullpen is mostly a point of irony for a team that puts up so few runs, but it was nice to have one aspect of the game that the Pirates excelled at. Wil Ledezma and even Justin Thomas put in very good work tonight, however. Thomas is not long for the 25-man, but Ledezma was something of a concern after a disastrous appearance last week in which he gave up five runs in the 8th inning, and it was nice to see him recover from it.
Snyder catches a pop-up.
Jay Bruce takes issue with a called third strike.
Before tonight I had never seen an in-the-park home run before and I had hoped not to see one against the Pirates, but lo and behold, McCutchen misplayed a fly ball to center and I made a new memory.
One bad note for the Reds-Orlando Cabrera sustained an injury that may send him to the DL-15. This comes as especially bad news for the aging shortstop who has seen his batting average, OBP and slugging drop sharply from last year. However, being able to play 14 years in the majors is no small accomplishment and it'll take more than this to shut down the Reds machine. The pennant race is going to be very exciting this year.

Finding The Best Audio Software
When choosing which music making software is best for you take into consideration what you will be using it for. Think about which audio production elements are necessary for you. What options would you like to have included? And one of the biggest factors, your budget.
The real sound difference in audio quality will come from your knowledge and experience with sound production. Any of the big name music programs like, Pro Tools, FL Studio, Logic, Reason, or Cubase are capable of producing great results. Even free programs such as Audacity can pull of great sound.
Even the most expensive audio program will sound horrible in the hands of the inexperienced. Investing time in learning about audio production is how you go from good to great sound. The program is just a tool to help you along the way.
Do a little research and check out the stats and reviews of several programs to find one that will fit your budget and needs. Here are several music making programs to help you decide which is the "best" for you.
Personally I use FL Studio and really enjoy it. You can follow the link if you want to learn more about it.

From www.parentsociety.com:
When I was in my gay closet and on the cusp of leaving it, one of the
things I did constantly was take a "temperature" of where my family,
friends, neighborhood, larger community, the Church, and the state was
in terms of accepting people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgender, queer or questioning (LGBTQ). If I sensed people were
"cold" towards gay people, I recalibrated what and when I would come out
of the closet. In other words, I put it off, and slowly sank back into
the shadowy corners of the closet.
As a young dad who was married and secretly gay, I surreptitiously
read many books by out lesbian and gay writers, but many of them were
just out of the closet or struggling with a lifelong illness or
unrequited love. Movies and television shows were my other recourse, but
in the 1970s and '80s everyone in the movies who was gay was dying of
HIV/AIDS or also just coming out. In music, I knew Leonard Bernstein and
Elton John were gay … and I neither wanted to be Leonard or Elton.
Professional athletes? Billy Jean King was kind of out but claimed to be
bisexual, and Greg Louganis was not out. Indeed, the field of
professional athletes was void of people I could relate to in my coming
out journey.
In the last few days, weeks, months, and years, things have changed
dramatically, and for the better, for LGBTQ people, especially those who
are in the closet, be they same-sex couples or individuals of any
age. Recently, NBA center Jason Collins of the Washington Wizards came
out in Sports Illustrated, owning his story: "I'm a 34-year-old NBA center. I'm black. And I'm gay."

A few visuals to sum up the week around our house:
Here is one Shadow puppy, freshly shorn. We think he looks like a wee black lamb after he gets fluffed and buffed. But no matter how adorable we think he looks, in every picture we take of him, he looks morose and depressed. Cheer up, Shadow! It can't be that bad to be a dog!
My littlest gal was student of the week last week and she requested we make snickerdoodles for her class treat. We started hauling out all the ingredients (snickerdoodle-making is no small undertaking, I quickly remembered!), and my little K zipped to the closet to grab an apron for me. I rarely wear an apron, but every time I do, I remember how much I love wearing one - they're so convenient! Anyway, K grabbed this one, which is my favorite. It was made by my mom for my grandma -- in her favorite color: mauve. Every time I wear it, I think of her wearing it, bustling around her (mauve) kitchen in her skirt and nylons, heels kicked off by the door. Fond memories of a beloved woman.
I recently bought this little gem for about $1, and it is the best. Seriously, I don't know how I ran a grown up kitchen without one for all these years. My whole adult life, I've been dragging out a colander or using a lid to strain the pasta, or if I was feeling
lazy like tempting fate, I would precariously hold the pasta with a fork while draining the liquid. But this little plastic game changer is the goods. I simply hold it over the pot and all is good! No huge colander to hand wash, no risky fork method. . .just pasta sans liquid. Does everyone already have one of these and I was just out of the loop? Or am I a trend setter? I truly have no idea.
I bought this shower curtain the other day for our hideous upstairs bathroom. This bathroom is in dire need of an overhaul, but we haven't had the money or time to do all that needs to be done, so there it sits, in its late-90s decor, frustrating me every time I pass by. I had finally had it with the old shower curtain and wanted to buy an inexpensive one to tide us over until we actually redo the room. I found this one at Walmart and it fit the bill. The tree was pleasant and would work for the time being. The other day I was putting towels away (these über awesome ones from IKEA) in the bathroom and one of my boys wandered in and appeared to suddenly attack the shower curtain. "What are you doing?", I quickly asked. Without missing a beat, he replied, "I'm a tree hugger!"

It's Saturday. Most husbands would want to sit around and relax. This guy would probably want to do that, too. Instead, he got up early to go and register the boys for football. Then he did some work (Financial Planning – his actual job!). Then, he strapped on his tape measure… {I have to add that I was cracking up at that part. I had to take a picture. He looks so official. This picture just screams "general contractor", doesn't it? haha!}
But anyway, he strapped on his tape measure, grabbed another cup of coffee and headed over to the house. He doesn't stop. He has basically been working two jobs this year to help make this dream for our family come true. He continues to amaze me at how hard he works. If he didn't have all of these amazing God-given gifts like intelligence, determination and drive, this house thing would not be happening.
I told someone the other day that I feel like we are a good team. But in another way, I feel super guilty because my part in this teamwork is doing all of the fun things like picking out light fixtures, paint colors, etc. He has all of the hard work like figuring out the finances, working with sub-contractors and problem-solving.
This guy is amazing. He loves us so well. He works so hard. And, just look at him! He is also super hot. Tonight we get to dress up and go to a wedding. I can't decide which I like better…this picture of him with a tape measure or him in a suit and tie!

The Lou Messugo Blog - life in the south of France from a British/Australian TCK's perspective, bringing you French culture, travel on the Côte d'Azur and beyond, expat issues and a little bit of je ne sais quoi all mixed up with a hefty dose of photography.
Today marks the end of an era; it's the last Wednesday with no school for primary and maternelle schools in France. As from the 2014 rentrée, they will function every day Monday to Friday, starting at 8.30 am and finishing at 4 pm, (instead of 8.30 am to 4.30 pm M,Tu, Th, F currently) – though some areas and schools may vary slightly, and this is where it gets complicated! The new system does not actually change the number of school hours it just alters the balance. Guess what? Our school isn't going to work to those official hours, more on this later.
The Minister of Education, Benoît Hamon, has (apparently) written to all parents of school age children explaining the new system. I say "apparently" because we haven't actually received this letter yet. In this letter he explains that the morning is the time of day when children's attention is better. According to research seen in this infographic (in French), children learn best before 11am and then again in the afternoon after 3pm. Learning is best done in alternating short then long lessons and children like regularity i.e. a school day that always starts at the same time.
So that's it then. After 11 years in the French school system, enjoying more relaxed Tuesday evenings and no-rush Wednesday mornings, we're joining the rest of the world in a 5 day week. It may seem an obvious step for many of my readers who probably think, "what's all the fuss about"? but it's been quite a journey to get here. There have been strikes and demonstrations (no surprise there, this is France!) and huge resistance to the change. Almost all of the extra-curricular activities children do, such as music, sport and art lessons, take place on Wednesdays and there's a whole industry built up around this. Additionally most parents who work part-time in France work what's called 4/5, i.e; they work 4 days out of 5, leaving Wednesday free to chauffeur their children from activity to activity. Employers across the land will have to adapt to the new school hours as activities will now be after school every day and parents no longer necessarily need Wednesday off, but might have to leave work earlier than usual. Flexi-time is relatively unheard of here.
To get back to our school in Roquefort les Pins, the new timetable is going to work like this: school every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8.30 am till 3.45 pm followed by an optional but free activity session until 4.30 pm. There will also be school from 8.30-11.30 on Wednesday mornings with an option to stay on till 12.30 pm, for free. Effectively this will mean for the vast majority of children, the day is as long as before with added Wednesday morning school. The fact that the last 45 minutes of each day are not obligatory nor do they involve learning doesn't change much in reality. It remains to be seen how this will work. Whether kids get picked up at 3.45 pm or not. I doubt many will. The school buses will only run after 4.30 (not at 3.45) which I think is fairly significative of the reality of the situation. Working parents can't be at the school gates at 3.45 and by using the free activity session and the school bus, they can push their return from work until about 5pm. The alternative would be private (expensive) child care. Until employers catch up with the changes and implement flexi-time it seems a no-brainer to me! And so, children from 3 to 11 will continue to have long school days without relaxed Tuesday evenings and easy Wednesday mornings.
From a purely nostalgic and personal point of view, I've always liked telling the story that my Australian mum remembers learning about how different the French were as they had no school on a Wednesday! This was back in the late 1940s early 1950s...I've always thought it was a funny thing to learn all the way over on the other side of the world, but if Aussie kids are still taught this (I hugely doubt it!) they'll have to stop now. Oh well, C'est la vie!
For readers in France further information and the new hours of your child's school can be found on the newly launched government site 5matinées.
I'd be interested to know what you think about the new school hours in France. What hours do your children go to school where you live? Do leave a comment, I read each and every one and try to reply to them all too.
We never had Wednesdays off anyhow. It's all change isn't it?
Saturday school for almost all schools ended a while ago Richard, but yes you're right, for those schools that still had Saturday mornings , they will now have a full weekend.
But won't this change mean that French parents join the rest of the world in having proper weekends?

The Company: A Novel of the CIA 1951-91
Robert Littell
Publisher: Penguin BooksFormat: Paperback
This critically acclaimed blockbuster from internationally renowned novelist Robert Littell seamlessly weaves together history and fiction to create a multigenerational, wickedly nostalgic saga of the CIA—known as "the Company" to insiders. Racing across a landscape spanning the legendary Berlin Base of the '50s, the Soviet invasion of Hungary, the Bay of Pigs, Afghanistan, and the Gorbachev putsch, The Company tells the thrilling story of agents imprisoned in double lives, fighting an amoral, elusive, formidable enemy—and each other—in an internecine battle within the Company itself. A brilliant, stunningly conceived epic thriller, The Company confirms Littell's place among the genre's elite.

SMITH ET AL.v.MARCUS ET AL. APPEAL OF MARCUS ET AL.
David Kanner, Philadelphia, for appellants.
Morris Chernock, Joseph J. Frieri, Philadelphia, for appellees.
Before Rhodes, P. J., and Hirt, Reno, Ross and Gunther, JJ.
Author: Hirt
[ 175 Pa. Super. Page 65]
HIRT, Justice.
In this action the plaintiffs recovered a verdict for $924 against Jay Jay Home Improvement Company, a partnership, based upon a modification of a written instrument by parol which the lower court sanctioned. The jury found in favor of the defendant, Portner, and that verdict is not questioned. In this appeal the defendant partners contend that they are entitled to judgment n. o. v.
The plaintiffs in August 1947 entered into a written contract with Edward Portner, referred to at the trial as the additional defendant, for remodeling a house owned by them in Philadelphia. The contract price was $2,000, payable in monthly installments. Plaintiffs had negotiated with Portner on the premises and Portner there had made a memorandum of the work to be done. No specifications however were embodied in the agreement with him. About one month
[ 175 Pa. Super. Page 66]
later, Portner, desiring to be relieved of his contract (for reasons which do not appear) arranged for a meeting on the premises between plaintiff Howard Smith and Jerome H. Marcus, a member of Jay Jay Home Improvement Company, defendant. Smith, in going through the house with Marcus, indicated to him the alterations and repairs which he had in contemplation. A written contract, signed by both plaintiffs, was entered into on September 20, 1947, in which the Jay Jay partnership for a consideration of $2,177 agreed to supply all labor and materials necessary to complete the work according to detailed specifications set forth in the contract. The contract provided for 'Work to be done only as specified below' (italics added) and the specifications were written into the contract from notes which Marcus had made on the premises from information given him by Smith when they went through the house together. All of the work as specified in the contract was performed by the Jay Jay partnership and the Smiths paid the entire contract price. We are not concerned with the method of payment adopted by plaintiffs nor the fact that their contract obligation was financed by a Federal Housing Administration loan.
This action was brought to recover the value of additional work which Marcus allegedly agreed to perform. It was contended that certain items of work included in the Portner agreement were to be performed by the Jay Jay partnership as a part of their undertaking. The reason for the omission of these items from the specifications of the written contract is thus stated in plaintiffs' complaint: 'Marcus stated that he was in a hurry and that he had no time to add the necessary items in writing, and assured the plaintiffs that he would abide by and undertake to complete and finish whatever work was included in plaintiffs' aforesaid
[ 175 Pa. Super. Page 67]
agreement with Portner * * *' And on the trial of this case the court permitted plaintiffs to modify the written agreement increasing the contractor's obligation by reading into it by parol a list of items from a memorandum allegedly made by Portner when he figured on the work.
On the principle of Gianni v. R. Russell & Co. Inc., 281 Pa. 320, 126 A. 791, 792, there is clear error in the refusal of the court to enter judgment n. o. v. in favor of the defendants with whom the plaintiffs contracted. It is now the settled law that 'Where parties, [as in the present case] without fraud or mistake, have deliberately put their engagements in writing, the law declares the writing to be not only the best, but the only, evidence of their agreement.' * * *' A writing must be taken to be the entire contract if it appears to be complete within itself and is 'couched in such terms as import a complete legal obligation without any uncertainty as to the object or extent of the engagement * * *.' A test as to whether an alleged oral agreement comes within the field of the writing is to compare the two and determine '* * * whether parties, situated as were the ones to the contract, would naturally and normally include the one in the other if it were made. If they relate to the same subject-matter, and are so interrelated that both would be executed at the same time and in the same contract, the scope of the subsidiary agreement must be taken to be covered by the writing.' Gianni v. R. Russell & Co. Inc., supra, 281 Pa. at pages 323, 324, 126 A. at page 792. In O'Brien v. O'Brien, 362 Pa. 66, 71, ...

The Power of Regret
The accidents of our lives bruise us into dirty individuality. —Gregory McGuire*
I don't believe in original sin. According to my cosmology, humans are complicated individuals who come into being with a lot of karma, "good," "bad," and everything inbetween. Hence I don't get the idea of taking on shame just because we are who we are. I also don't get the Jewish slant on the same idea, that we should in some way or another always feel guilty about mistakes made or plans that never worked out, or about our moments of greed, failure, ambition, bitterness and thoughtlessness.
Some of us fare better than others over the courses of our lives, but what that means is beyond me. It seems that everything we experience is a part of working through our very complicated karma. Sometimes that process includes some suffering. Don't ask me why - the reasons for human suffering are incomprehensible. The God I worship can wrap his/her "arms" around the why of suffering. It's too big for me.
Both shame and guilt are too punitive to be of any help in moving forward. Both states of being are energetically sticky, like greasy velcro. When I feel guilty I become a magnet for every negative idea and situation. It's like a black hole that sucks me ever deeper into it without presenting any opportunity for healing.
Regret is a different story, at least for me. Maybe this is simply a matter of semantics, but when I feel regret, I am able to work with the matter at hand. Regret does not feel oily or sticky to me. It's not a comfortable place, but it provides the emotional space I need to learn. When I experience regret, if I work with it, I am able to find healing and wisdom, whereas when I feel shame or guilt, I am lost, emotionally.
I'm still in the process of reviewing everything that went down in 2010. It was such a great year for me in so many ways. Still, I have a couple of serious regrets about the way a particular situation unfolded. I'm sitting with that feeling this morning, trying to make space around it, listening, hoping to learn and move on. It's high time to put 2010 to bed; my prayers this morning included a petition to move fully in 2011, pronto. I think I'm almost there. May it be so.
Happy Friday to all. Shalom.
*Thanks to Tess of the great blog Willow Manor, for posting this quote on facebook.

Not just semantics - there is a quality to regret that spurs us forward, where guilt and shame induce that feeling of being mired in one's emotions. I like the distinction. Sitting with regret does allow you to explore the situation, make some sort of amends and move on. Great photo of reflections and a hint of moving on in the subject of vehicles.

I know that guilt causes me to just immerse myself in bad behavior - "I've already been bad, let's just compound that error by eating a whole tube of cookie dough & being slack on the job." Very destructive emotion for me. I agree - regret is a lot more positive in its outcome if you'll just work through it. Regret says, "well, that wasn't your most shining moment - how do we make sure that doesn't happen again?"

The whole thing is rather tricky, isn't it? We must allow ourselves the space to review our actions, thoughts, and deeds, and maybe the feeling of regret is what mandates us to create that space if we want to move on.
The tricky part comes in realizing when we have crossed over from self-examination into self-indulgence, which only causes us to dwell even longer in that from which we want to move away.
You know what I'm gonna say, right? Je ne regrette rien!
Much love as you move onward and upward, allowing 2011 to be the year of your own design.

Shame and guilt, naughty, naughty feelings that can make one depressed and sad.
Regret can be over good things one did not do or over bad things one did. You are right that regret is a better feeling to have and get over, so it can be positive. Is not liking something one did, regret or guilt?
I think that we just have to take one day at a time and if we are blessed then the next day is better. I think there is always something better if one looks for it. When one focuses on the good then one is not wasting their time focusing on the guilt or shame.
2011 will be a great year for you Reya, it is in your karma.
God bless.

Reading your post makes me realize that I probably can't define any of those words as well as I used to. From paying closer attention to my inner states without judging them, what I know now is that I will get a yucky sick feeling in my gut when I'm not dealing with something in a way that's loving and clear, which really means when my THINKING is stinky, whatever my outer actions might be. This awareness then points out to me my need to accept all that yuckiness, to allow it to simply be and sit with it, watch it, talk with it.
It may take a few days, but eventually in this way I move through it and come back to love and clarity, often at a deeper level than before the yuckiness took over.

your photos are astounding! i try not to look back too much incase i turn into a pillar of salt like in the story - which i take to mean tears? but still do sometimes. sigh x

Val, you too (like Jo and many of my brilliant friends) are a quick processor of information. You guys don't HAVE to look back in order to learn from life's marvels and perils. Me? SOOOOOOOO SLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW at understanding, and because I get overwhelmed in the moment, it's usually somewhat after the fact that I catch on to any possible wisdom gained.
Bug says it perfectly Regret says, "well, that wasn't your most shining moment - how do we make sure that doesn't happen again?"
Yep. Onwards and upwards.

- Pam said...
Everyone processes things at different rates and ways Reya - I think your understanding is all the better for a bit of breathing space. It's wonderful to come to a conclusion about something, and to often find it here ie. clarification of shamanistic issues that are often a mystery, or as you mentioned, a synchronisity of thought/feeling. Thanks for your recent visit and comment.Brought a smile!..(as did the Bug's comment about "well that wasn't your most shining moment...".
My regret,strangely enough in light of this post is trying to do aim for perfection in things (impossible!)- and perhaps if I did things differently it would be to tell myself "you know you ARE ALLOWED to stuff up!(after all I'm not critical with others).
Aiming for perfection has its own price ie. not trying or attempting things for fear of failure, and I think we can be too hard on ourselves.We're only human.Regret is part of that, though when my daughter is dealing with those in palliative care, she says she has seen too many die with regrets, and it has coloured her outlook on, and how she deals with, what life throws her way.
Thought-provoking post Reya!xx

You give voice to my thoughts about guilt and shame so beautifully. And I think regrets, at their best, are moments where our reflections lead us to kinder, more gentle interactions.
- January 7, 2011 at 7:29 PM
- Nancy said...
I agree. Regret gives some space for movement - shame is a black hole. The only good to come of it is the desire to never do whatever it was that brought that into your life.

- steven said...
reya - it's funny that regret should come up here. i run my life backwards sometimes, well parts of it, and play the "what if . . " game that can leave me wondering if i made a mistake, was super smart, deeply regretful, or worst of all bugged at myself for playing such a goofy game! i hadn't thought of regret as a window for learning, i've always relied on obvious mistakes for that. i figure regret is a kind of mistake all on its own. steven

You know, I read this post this morning, and until I posted this evening, I didn't realize how this has stuck with me all day, coloring my thoughts.
I've got plenty of guilt and shame, though not as much in the last few years. I take that as a sign of growth. I hadn't really thought of regret in this light. It's nice to consider the positive aspect of a negative emotion.

One of my regrets, Reya, is not being able to read your blog and other favorites as often as I once did. But that's a lesson in learning to prioritize the things I enjoy, right? Here's to learning more in 2011!

- Mary Ellen said...
Sr. Wendy, in her chat with Bill Moyer, calls that regret thing 'contrition' - she says, we recognize the fault/error/harm, ask forgiveness, and move on - while guilt is something, she says, that people just wallow around in. I found that a helpful distinction.

please ignore my gnarly toes and just be glad you don't have to live with them on a daily basis.
want to hear something awesome? remember those hawaiian sandals that i wanted REALLY bad, but couldn't find or describe? i found them!!!
i saw a friend wearing them, cornered her and told her that if she got them in the actual state of hawaii and didn't know where i could buy them i would simply die.
thankgoodness she knew exactly where i could buy them...for $5.99...i suppose that's why the bums in hawaii wear them. the only downside to this website is that shipping was $6, but still oh so worth it. side story that is totally related: i ordered these brown pieces of heaven on a wednesday and left for vegas on a friday. i was walking around fashion show mall and lo and behold a sketch looking hawaiian souvenir shop (in vegas) called abc stores, the same as the website i just ordered from and paid $6 in shipping too, had my dang sandals, for $5.99. don't you love when that happens?
anywho, see those little bumps? they massage your feel while you walk. the sandals are made out of this weird air filled rubberish material that makes me swoon. they're fantastic and by far my most favorite purchase so far this year. and that's saying a lot.
in other very exciting news...we got a dryer!!! to be picked up tomorrowish. it's amazing how going without an every day convenience makes you appreciate it oh so much when you get it back.
also, we had an unexpected peach reaping yesterday. it was all so very exciting. if you were to walk into my house right now, you would be hit with a delightful peachy scent. please don't though because i'm not home and that would be creepy. mama and papa ruesch were kind enough to stay and help us pick. now we have a naked peach tree and gobs of picked peaches. the best of each if you ask me.
our peachy tree is an old geezer and keeps having branches die on him. he's a soidier though and we're hoping to get a few more good years out of him. keep it together ya old fart!
Happy Monday. We're hoping for a good week here at Ruesch Manor.

My Classroom Finally Finished (as finished as it will be this year...)
These are my class rules that I made to match my theme.
Here is a "Kids at Work" sign I bought to go with my theme.
This is the banner I made to go with my PV lesson. I have sold a lot of this unit at my TpT store. The unit is called Place Value Safari.
This is my mailbox, extra supplies underneath, my journal crates, and my AR bulletin board.
This is one of our BTS activities we call "Mini-Me."
A close-up of my name plates that I created. I have the construction set for sell at TpT
I had my hubby paint these little tool boxes to keep my reward coins in. Each one is numbered, so I have Table 1, Table 2, and Table 3.
Here you can see my calendar with my measuring tape numbers, my birthday board, my Lucky 7 reading strategy poster, my AR chart, and my hanging pockets that I keep papers and things my kiddos might need (like nurse passes, reading logs, etc...
This is my door that I am going to hang great work on. I used my poster from my Construction Class Set and a boarder I bought that says "Kids at Work!"

The Washington Times is running a piece by Susette Kelo, the woman who lost the recent Eminent Domain case in the Supreme Court. What the liberals on the Supreme Court have done to her is an atrocity. Here she is in her own words:
I grew up in southeastern Connecticut and bought my house at 8 East St. in New London in 1997. It was just what I wanted: great view of the water, affordable price, nice neighbors. I enjoyed fixing it up and making my family's home. I invested a lot of time and energy in this house and my neighborhood.
In 1998, a real estate agent came by and made me an offer on the house on behalf of an unnamed buyer. I explained to her I was not interested in selling, but she said my home would be taken by eminent domain if I refused to sell. She told me stories of her relatives who had lost their homes to eminent domain. Her advice? Give up. The government always wins.
Why did the City and the New London Development Corp. (NLDC) want to kick us out? To make way for up-scale condos and other private developments that could bring in more taxes to the city and possibly more jobs. The poor and middle class had to make way for the rich and politically connected.
If the government was taking our property for a road or firehouse, I would be prepared to sell without a fight. But the government should not be able to force me to sell my home so someone else can enjoy my view. NLDC wants my land to market to a developer for projects to "complement" our area's new Pfizer facility. This is for private profit, not public use.
Nearly all my neighbors' homes have been bulldozed -- all but those seven families who stayed and fought not only for our rights, but for the rights of homeowners nationwide.
Like my neighbors up the street, I worked hard (in my case, at up to three jobs at a time) to pay for my home. And we should not be forced out by our own government simply because someone else who carries more political clout wants the land for a nonpublic use. Isn't that what the courts, Congress and the Constitution are supposed to protect us from?
It's hard to imagine anything more un-American than taking a person's home in order to give it to someone wealthier. If the Developers really want Kelo's property they must offer her what SHE thinks it's worth, not what they are willing to pay. Wealthy individuals and corporations shouldn't be allowed to coerce the government into taking a person's property. This use of Eminent Domain is not permitted by the Consitution and the Supreme Court should have opposed it.
This is America after all!
Sean Adds: Amen, brother. I believe that the combination of Kelo and Raiche will brand this particular band of liberal clowns a disaster of historic purportions.

It's been a long day and I am tuckered out. Luckily, I am now at the point in my lace cardigan where it's smooth sailing. I got quite a few inches of the body done in my classes today, which feels really good. I think I'll be able to finish it in time for the shower without a problem. Sewing the dress might be a bit more of a challenge.
It's been a really stressful week around here, and tonight was my night at the yarn shop. That meant that I picked up a bit of yummy sock yarn to make me feel better.
Item 1:
This is Mountain Colors "Bearfoot" in Yellow Stone. I have to admit that any yarn with a handwritten colorway makes me a little happy inside. It's a little touch of humanity that makes me feel like I'm buying something that's more personal than the mass-manufactured yarns. Of course, I still love my Cascade 220!. This yarn is a heavy fingering weight, so I think it will be just right for the Socktopia April Mystery Socks. I just love doing these special Socktopia events. I normally don't get too involved for the regular theme contest because there never seems to be enough time, but the few special events each year are worth making time for. These might be cast on before anything else is bound off…what can I say?
Item 2:
I'm going to go ahead and blame this purchase on Katie. We're performing a tap dance piece to 'Boogie Wonderland' from the movie Happy Feet in a few weeks. She saw the name of this yarn last week and couldn't help herself–she's making a pair of socks to wear for the show. I was there when she bought the yarn and I resisted, but when I read her blog this morning I just couldn't help myself. I had to make some Happy Feet socks for my own tap shoes. I think this color suits me in a fun way. I'm not sure what pattern I want to use yet. Tonight I'll take a look at my books and my ravelry queue and see what I've got. I might actually get started on these ones before the Bearfoot socks because those performances are really sneaking up!
Wendy permalinkApril 11, 2008 8:37 am
I just love your Happy Feet sock yarn! What fun, I look forward to seeing pics of some finished socks. Where is that located in the store? What is it made of?

Casey and I took the kids to go Ice Skating for FHE this past monday. We got together with Ashlee, Mitch and Val, and Tyler and Aleisha and their family. It was freezing, but the kids had a lot of fun. The kids skated for 2 hrs and what an ordeal it was. Dillon was all wet from falling, Blake had sores on his feet from wearing the wrong socks. Mitch's nose turned red and Lyla kept crying everytime someone ran into the wall. Casey took pictures, I took care of Lyla. Mitch, Val and Ashlee took turns helping Payton and Tyler and Aleisha were helping Blake. I think the adults were more exhausted then the kids!

|Connecting with my inner child this week, I guess...
Monday, December 8, 2014
3 comments:
What a fabulous awareness - and I totally celebrate you and your ever-strengthened connection to self. Makes my heart happy! And speaking of happy, your art delights me.ReplyDelete
I just love, love LOVE that sweet ballerina!! But I DID love ballet dancing growing up =)ReplyDelete
I commend you on your blossoming connection to yourself. The more we invest in ourselves and the more 'identity capital' we build for ourselves can only serve to strengthen our self esteem and make us stronger in our self knowledge...or as Oscar Wilde put it best: "To love oneself is the beginning of a life-long romance"!
Ohmigosh I love that realization that your inner voice doesn't have to just be a narrator - that it should be a decision maker! That is a profound understanding. That connection to ourselves is also important. To be honest, I never even thought about that when I was thinking about this prompt. I love that thinking that this challenge creates.ReplyDelete

Why I Am Quitting the Republican Party; More Political
I wish the Republican party nothing but the best of luck. I'm pretty sure that Mitt Romney will be the presidential nominee of the GOP for 2012. I have every intention of voting for Mittens but I'm not all that happy about it.
For today's Republican party is too entrenched a part of this country's self-made political class and my efforts, along with millions of others, have been totally unsuccessful at moving them off of that dime.
Today's Republican party, yon ladies and gems, is just not for me. But do not cry for the GOP Argentina, because they are as happy to see me go out the door as I am to leave.
See, they despise the likes of me.
Oh they want my vote, and the votes of millions of others who consider themselves Tea Party activists. Beyond that they see us stupid pitchfork carrying rubes who simply do not have a clue.
They reach across the aisle with hands topped by perfectly polished nails. Head hairs do not move from their appointed places as the work with the opposition party and refuse to fight back at the absurd accusations and insults.
They pee upon our feet and tell us it's raining as they pat us on the heads and tell us that only moderates can win elections, that true conservatives are too extreme for the American populace. Yet we ponder Bob Dole and John McCain, Gerald Ford and a litany of others who were considered moderates. Who did NOT win! George W. Bush barely won his election, as we all remember the Florida debacle, and while Bush is considered a moderate, and, indeed, governed by reaching across the aisle so much he got stretch marks, Dubya did carry a certain Texas cred while John Kerry, a lackluster nothing burger who should have been creamed, almost beat him.
But we believed them and John McCain passed that Campaign Finance Reform act and wow, we were just so impressed. That was a piece of legislation we'd all been losing sleep over, a stomp on our constitutional rights and we sleep better every night that McCain got it through by judicious reaches across the aisle. McCain wouldn't allow anyone in his surround to repeat Barack Obama's middle name for God's sake, hey guys, this is OUR side .
I'm from Delaware and we finally got sick of Mike Castle as he merrily pretended to be a Republican and voted Democrat and every year we were told we'd have to tolerate him just one more year. Next thing we know, he's not only NOT resigning from America's House, the guy wanted a promotion to the Senate. Christine O'Donnell ran against him and primaried him outta there and our own side mocked us and ridiculed us because the Blue Blood GOP will reach happily across the aisle to the opposition party but will rip off the head of their own base and crap down the bloody neck stumps should anyone threaten their ersatz power.
Whatever anyone thought of Christine O'Donnell, we were voting AGAINST Mike Castle as much as anything, and we'd been complaining about him for years. It's not as if the Delaware Blue Blood GOP didn't have a clue as to what was coming down is what I'm saying here.
Last week I went to the monthly Sussex county Republican meeting in my position as EDC of my community. Guess who the Delaware Republican party nominated to represent ME at the Republican national convention? MIKE CASTLE!
It's ok. I walked out and resigned my position immediately. Go with me, nobody's begging me to come back. In fact, the Republicans wish all the Tea Party nut jobs would shut up and vote Republican or shut up and go away. Today's Republican party. Just this past week, the mild-mannered Orin Hatch of Utah, currently challenged by a Tea Party type, said he wasn't going to walk away from "his" job and would punch anyone in the nose who tried to make him. He really said this!
I've every intention of voting for Mitt in this election. I'm at a point where I'd have to think seriously whether to vote for Satan over Obama so once again I must pick the lesser of two evils that the Blue Blood GOP have dished up for me.
I will register as an Independent but know how to change party affiliation for such as voting for certain candidates in primaries. I will probably ever be closer to the Republican party than the Democrat party, goodness there's a political party that's reverted to Communists and Socialists and anti-Americanists.
While I lambaste the Democratic party, and say a prayer for was what once a proud party considered the party of the working man, I don't think for a second that the elected Republicans of the appropriate eras didn't know a thing about that joke of giving mortgages to everyone who had some kind of pulse, never mind a job, to collapse the housing market and harm so many. I am to think that the likes of McCain, Hatch, Luger….knew nudthing?
I don't believe that the Republicans were in the dark about the behind-the-scenes redistribution of wealth to include that stupid black farmer thing, I'd bet those same "farms" that the Republicans knew that Planned Parenthood was funneling money made from abortions back to the Democrat party, I will never believe those same Republicans had no clue about the existence of ACORN.
I suspect that there were many years of backroom deals being made that had so much going on that was so wrong, so evil. Why didn't they ever get photo-ID for voting? This is a winning issue; Americans use photo ID for everything, even shopping at BJ's for God's sake. Why didn't they stop public funding for public TV in an age when cable TV channels offer over 800 channels and growing?
They are now entrenched, these Blue Blood Republicans, and Mitt Romney is part of them.
But we've got a political class up there in DC that might upset this concept of countervaling forces that Jefferson had so correct. Because they've got their baby smooth hands clenched tightly on their power and it's difficult to get them out of there, even via elections, as is the plan. That selfish babe up in Alaska got herself put back in power by some kind of write-in vote. Hatch is gonna punch people in the nose who dare question his right to his position. Mike Castle was shamefully pushed out and still they nominate him to represent Delaware at the Republican national convention.
Maybe Romney will rise to the occasion. One can hope.
Because Romney is the last of the RINOS. This is my prediction.
If Romney should once again govern by the RINO vaunted methodology of reaching across the aisle, slapping and spitting on the party's base as he does so, there will rise, tall, proud and mighty, a third party. It will be, of course, the Tea Party. The Blue Blood Republican party will have to survive without the Tea Party types and hey, maybe there will be enough disaffected Democrats to fill the empty slots.
Millions of the disenchanted who carry this country on their backs will join me. I've seen Mike Castle thrown out, I've seen a mighty base tear apart and re-organize the Republican party here in Sussex county, Delaware. I know it can happen and I know there are plenty of people out there just waiting, just waiting, hoping.
Let Romney , as I predict he will do, reach some kind of compromise on Obamacare, maybe do away with the mandate and maybe the death panels, but he will, I suspect based on Romneycare before him, institute Obamacare lite. His fellow Blue Blood GOP cohorts in America's House of Lords will help such an action along for they need their pork, they need their power, they deserve it, damn it, and will punch anyone in the nose wanting to take it away from them.
For it's never about US, the citizenry, or America and it's greater good. With this entrenched political class, it is at a no-turning-back point that is ALWAYS, ….ALWAYS….about them.
May I be wrong. May Mitt Romney open his eyes and steer this ship of state straight, all in a direction of individual freedom, liberty and to a course that would allow every American to succeed based on his or her talent, hard work and perseverance.
If this does not happen, the citizenry will rise up to take back their country because we are Americans and this is how it works in America.
Miscellaneous Political Notes
Oh my goodness I've so enjoyed this Obama administration and their goofs these past few weeks that I smile many hours in the bemusement.
First, heh, how about that stupid thing with that Democratic operative calling Ann Romney a lazy burger who never worked a day in her life?
Folks, it's not about Ann Romney. Although Ann Romney seems like a nice enough person and she has, the malicious Democrats forgot, fought MS and breast cancer. It's about the millions of American women who stay home and raise their children. One of these woman is my daughter and with just one child she works harder in one day than I did with one child and a busy full time job.
Raising five boys has got to be a job and what a slap in the face the Democrats got into, this while they were accusing the Republicans of waging some kind of mythical war on women!
Because it's about these women who carry this country on their backs, even those who work outside the home but would love to be a stay-at-home Mom. It's about those millions of women who are raising the citizens and soldiers of tomorrow and how clueless are these Democrats to have started that mud-slinging?
And dear Lord the situation with the dogs has me howling with laughter.
The Obama people, dim desperate bulbs all, go after Romney for an incident with his dog some thirty years. According to the lore, that springs from a recounting of a family trip by Mittens himself, because the family car was so crowded with those five kids Ann Romney never worked for, they rigged up some kind of animal carrier and strapped the family pooch on the roof of the car.
The Republican party, in a move that delighted me no end, did some research. Turns out that Obama ONCE ATE DOG!
The jokes write themselves. AT LEAST ROMNEY DIDN'T EAT HIS DOG!
Oh the Obama loser-burgers were so cool, showing pics of Bo riding in the backseat of a limousine and smugly saying that THIS is how the Obamas transport their pet pooch.
We must ask, is this a refrigerated limousine to lead Bo to the slaughterhouse. We ponder, better to ride on a roof and NOT be eaten than to travel in luxury to be the main course at a later date.
They're desperate, people. Because Obama is down in the polls, this early in the election year, to Romney, by five to eight points. Gasoline prices rise and Obama's secret service people buy prostitutes in South America then refuse to pay them, his GSA has grand parties in Hawaii featuring mind readers and clowns. It's only going to get worse for Obama.
America does not like Obama, ignore those stupid polls that say his "likeability" factor is so high. Every judge on American Idol to The Voice to America's Got to Talent, even down to our own working lives that has us supervising folks….all of them, comes the time to let them go for a job NOT well done, begin the sad job with the lament of how "Likeable" the hapless about-to-be-fired is.
We hope that Romney rises to full leadership and doesn't settle in for some lame four years of protecting that RINO political elite in congress.
But they are the ones who rammed Romney down our throats so how likely is that?
THEN it will be time for the Tea Party to rise and take this country back. If for nothing else, this fact will be Romney's historical claim to fame.
It's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Day 4. Tuesday, Oct. 26
There was snow all over the ground when I woke up. It wasn't thick, but it was beautiful. The tarp over the fire pit/seating area was sagging with it, but we got a fire going, and it all melted, and then turned into steam in pretty short order. Left-over beef stew for breakfast.
The desire to stay warm has kept us in pretty constant need of more firewood, so we've taken to cutting limbs off of the large dead trees laying on the hillside behind camp, which is mostly done with the axe and hand saw, but we also noticed that there's a dead stand just on the other side of the bathroom. This will require Gabe's chainsaw. Knowing that I have experience cutting down trees (since I had been talking about having done it for a living), the job was given to me. Cut down the tree, and don't smash the bathroom. Pretty simple. It's slightly more nerve wracking to have people watch you while you're cutting it down... especially when they're all mountain men. You don't want to look like an incompetent kid in this company. Aside from starting to cut a little higher than 18" from ground level (I guess that's the forest service maximum for felled tree stumps) all went well, the tree went where I wanted it, the saw didn't bind up, and nobody got cut in half. This is good dry redwood that we can use to dry out the other wood we have stacked around the fire pit. The thermometer says it's 32 degrees, which means it's already warming up.
While Papa and Uncle Pat make sure their sights are accurate, by shooting bottles, cans, and empty propane tanks they've set up on some logs, I carve the bottom half of the sapling from yesterday (the top half of which became Erika's walking stick) into a cougar spear. I shaved off all of the bark, and carved the shaft down til it was comfortable to get my hand around, and left a rough ridge around the pointed end so that, if any of us should need to use it, it won't just stab in and pull out. If I have to stab a cougar, I don't want to just piss it off and let it go. After I get it all fire hardened, and carve "Cougar" into the shaft, I think I'll leave it over by the bathroom so that no one gets caught with their pants down, so to speak.
Watching my dad and uncle shoot at cans, bottles, and propane tanks, while my grandpa watches them happily, it became apparent to me that boys never really grow up... they just get better toys. I can't really be sure, but I think it might be kind of the same with girls. Maybe we become more responsible (maybe we don't) or self sufficient (or not), but if you get us out of our usual lives, get us into our element, we're still those kids who pretend we're Davey Crockett surrounded by Injuns, or U.S. Marshall's hunting down the James gang... thank God that imaginative and joyful spirit never really leaves us... I think we'd be truly miserable without it.
We had piled a bunch of thick branches on the fire because they were full of sap and burned hot, and we were just getting ready for dinner. The water kettle relinquished its usual perch on the swinging grill over the fire to make way for the Dutch Oven, king of camp-fire cooking units, and instead took a place balancing on one of the rocks that made up the fire pit. Having filled the oven with what we were all sure would be another delicious meal, my dad had put it onto the grill and began swinging it back over the flames when, without warning....... his knee bumped into the water kettle, dousing the flames entirely. With very little dry wood around, we all were disheartened, and jumped up to try to figure out a solution. All seemed lost when, just as suddenly as it had gone out, fire jumped up from certain parts of the wood where sap had been oozing out. Steadily the steam turned back into smoke, and smoke into flame, and we were back in business.
The snow had melted sometime mid day, but the temperature has dropped again, and flakes are falling again, larger than before, and the wind has certainly picked up.
It's strange, out here where I don't have my cell phone or iPod on me (which I usually use in place of a watch), because I don't go by time of day. I wake up when I'm done sleeping, get up when I have to pee, eat when I'm hungry, go to sleep when I'm tired, and never once consider what time it is. Everything revolves around daylight, hunger, and energy. I assume someone must have a clock, or a watch, but I have no need for such things out here.

The New Secularism, a Discriminatory Principle to Promote the Clash of Civilizations
These are hard times for the Republic: multiplying attacks against Muslims and their places of worship, new measures to monitor and police the Internet and social networks, against a backdrop of the "war on terror." The farce of January 11 [the mass rally in Paris following the attack on Charlie Hebdo] used the display of a united front against Islamism to launch hostilities to prepare public opinion for tightened security measures, the destruction of freedoms, as well as all kinds of military adventures. With the attack against Charlie Hebdo occurring amidst a marked rise in Islamophobia in France and throughout Europe, it does not take much. Demonstrations against Islam continue to grow and some journalists and leading politicians do not hesitate to blame Islam directly for the economic and social problems affecting France.
"Secularism," the leitmotif of the discriminatory anti-Muslim speeches, is the spearhead of the modern day crusades. Islam is seen as a conquering and expanding religion, and is denounced as a direct threat to the "values of the Republic." Why this sudden concern, which marks a break with the policy of tolerance enjoyed by immigrants and their descendants for decades? The presence of Muslims in France is nothing new but has only been seen as a threat to religious neutrality since the early 2000s, precisely from the beginning of the "war on terror." Does the current aggressive and discriminatory defence of secularism serve a purpose other than maintaining the religious neutrality of the state? If we can answer this in the affirmative without hesitation, then what are these other aims?
The Case of the Islamic Headscarf (1989)
The spotlight was first turned on "the problem" of the veil with the 1989 case of the Islamic headscarf. Soon after the beginning of the school year, three students from Gabriel-Havez high school in Creil, located in a priority education zone, were expelled because they refused to remove their headscarves in class. The case quickly became a national issue and Education Minister Lionel Jospin requested an opinion from the Council of State, which offered a nuanced response on November 27, 1989: it reiterated the right of students to express religious beliefs in school but set limits on the display of religious symbols of an ostentatious or outspoken character. The same opinion was given in another judgment of the Council of State in November 1992, concerning an identical matter in Jean-Jaurès high school in Montfermeil, in which the Council imposed the reinstatement of those students excluded for wearing headscarves.
In its decision, the Council of State reiterated the principles of secularism, which oblige educational institutions to accept all students, regardless of their origin or religion, while simultaneously imposing a number of constraints on the exercise of their religious freedom:
"Students wearing symbols with which they intend to express their religious affiliation is not in itself incompatible with the principle of secularism, to the extent that it constitutes the exercise of freedom of expression and manifestation of religious beliefs, but that freedom does not allow students to wear religious symbols which, by their nature, the conditions under which they would be worn individually or collectively, or by their ostentatious or outspoken character would constitute an act of pressure, provocation, proselytism or propaganda, would undermine the dignity or freedom of the pupil or other members of the educational community, jeopardize their health or safety, disrupt the conduct of teaching activities and the educational role of teachers, or ultimately disturb order in the establishment or the normal operation of the public service." (Council of State judgement, November 27, 1989).
Essentially, the Council of State remains compliant with the principle of secularism as it appears in the law separating Church and State. The founding texts indeed define it as an obligation concerning school premises, curriculum and teachers, but not for the students as users of the school system. This is a legal principle in defence of freedom of individual expression and tolerance vis-à-vis religious practice that is consistent with the 1905 law that Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights reiterates:
"Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief, in worship, teaching, practice and observance."
2003 Turning Point
Demonstration in Paris, January 2004, against passage of law banning the wearing of "conspicuous" religious symbols by students in public educational institutions.
According to French sociologist Raphaël Liogier, the "great bifurcation" (the point at which Islamization began to be presented by policymakers as a major problem) took place in France in 2003, the year of the U.S. intervention in Iraq. At this time all the anti-Islamization associations such as Observatoire de l'islamisation, the Bloc Identitaire, Riposte Laïque, or even Ni Putes Ni Soumises, were born. It was also in 2003, at the request of then-Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin, that François Baroin submitted a report in which he proposed a new conception of secularism. Based on one of the conclusions of the commission, then-President Jacques Chirac spoke out in favour of a law banning the wearing of "conspicuous" religious symbols by students in public educational institutions. This law was passed on March 15, 2004 and came into force in September 2004. It would be followed by others, which contribute to the exclusion of visible signifiers of the Muslim religion in a growing number of public places.
The defence of a new secularism is presented in the Baroin Report as a necessary reaction against the development of communitarianism and fundamentalist action in order to defend the values of the Republic. Exit multiculturalism, enter "assimilationism":
"Secularism has indeed been gradually replaced in the left's pantheon of values by the defence of cultural differences and communitarianism. This trend is part of the promotion of human rights as the dominant value of the left. It results in a guilty conscience vis-à-vis France's colonial heritage and a need for atonement (theme of "repentance"). Freedom of expression and recognition of differences are privileged over other values such as the teacher's authority, the mission of educating and the emancipation of the individual."
This report considers the Islamic veil as more of an "attribute of the fundamentalists that is part of a model of society based on a ghetto logic and hostile to the values of democracy" than as a simple sign of religious affiliation. While making a distinction between Islam and Islamism, it advocates relying on integrated Muslims to fight against the threat of Islamization and the implantation in our country of a fundamentalist Islam that challenges the very principles of the organization of our society:
"This oppositional discourse must come from people of immigrant origin. The appointment of several ministers from their ranks was a first encouraging sign. It is up to the current majority to create real republican elites of immigrant origin in all areas (political, economic and social). It is a condition for regaining territories lost by the Republic."
The New Secularism, a Discriminatory Principle to
Promote the Clash of Civilizations
By turning a legal principle into a "civilized value" and promoting a quasi-religious conception of secularism, this shift clears the way for all manner of Islamophobia. The religious practice of Muslims, a genuine collective phobia, is seen as both a sign of obscurantism and a problem threatening the national identity. The supporters of the headscarf ban rely on an emancipatory conception of education and a belittled vision of religious symbols as being opposed to progressivism and the science of the Enlightenment. As stated by Claude Gueant [former Chief of Staff to French President Nicolas Sarkozy], "all civilizations are not equal" and Islam, by its conquering nature, represents a threat to the Judeo-Christian West. Echoing this misguided conception of secularism, policies have been floated for the past 10 years based on a phantasm of Islamization, France's version of the neo-conservative theory of the clash of civilizations, as updated by [Conservative U.S. political scientist] Samuel Huntington. It provides several political opportunities: a scapegoat strategy and socio-ethnic discrimination, as well as justification of the Empire's wars against the Muslim world under the pretence of wiping out jihadism. This ideological shift, initiated by the right, is being pursued by the current government, which shows a remarkable continuity with the previous one in completing this transformation of the security apparatus.
As the new dominant ideology, neo-conservatism serves the interests of globalist elites to justify their warmongering projects. However, the vast majority have nothing to gain from a civil and/or military war against the Muslim world. Far from Islamization being the issue, the real threat is that of a confrontation with Islam modelled on the clash of civilizations. The rejection of the endless war on terror, that has been costly for both sides, is the only feasible way forward to revive a tolerant, peaceful and egalitarian conception of secularism and work for national reconciliation with the populations originating from post-colonial immigration.
* The Council of State is a body of the French national government that acts both as legal adviser of the executive branch and as the supreme court for administrative justice. Established in 1799 by Napoleon Bonaparte as a successor to the King's Council (Conseil du Roi), it is primarily made up of top-level legal officers. The Vice President of the Council of State is the highest-ranking civil servant in France -TML Editor

NASA wants to test the effects of a large fire in space. To this end, it intends to set fire to it posted on the orbit spacecraft.
NASA already has controlled fires in space, but so far not observed how flames spread inside the vessel placed in orbit.
It's very important research, which are essential for the safety of current and future space missions, said Gary Ruff with the Glenn Research Center, one of the engineers responsible for the experiment.
In the experiment, named Satfire-1 will take part the capsule Orbital ATK Cygnus, which on March 23, will deliver supplies to the international space station (ISS). When the capsule will be discarded and the distance from the ISS, ground control calls in her fire. The researchers plan to measure the size of the flames, their temperature, greenhouse, and the pace of their spread.
Experimental fire will last 20 minute drive away. After his arrival, Cygnus will burn in the Earth's atmosphere.

More Grim news from Ashton Job (sanctions) Centre!
I doubt I have ever encountered people who can stoop so low as some of the people who work for Jobcentre Plus. Some of these people really are fucking scum - Podsnappian. They are are so low, that they could crawl under a snakes belly wearing a top hat. Every week that we protest outside Ashton-under-Lyne Jobcentre, we never fail to be astonished at some of the ghastly stories that we hear from Jobseeker's about the shabby and inhuman way in which, they have been treated. The Tory government and the DWP, really have taken out an insurance policy against pity.
It brings to mind a remark made by the character Lebezyatnikov, in the novel 'Crime and Punishment', by the Russian novelist, Fydor Dostoevsky, who says to the drunken civil servant Marmeladov, that "Science had declared compassion a social evil and that this notion had already been put into practice in England were they have political economy."
This absence of compassion was evident today when we spoke to Lisa, a 44-year-old lady from Ashton-under-Lyne, who has been deprived of her Disability Living Allowance (DLA), because she missed an appointment. Earlier this year, Lisa became very ill with double pneumonia, kidney failure and sepsis. She spent over two-months in intensive care and three weeks in an induced coma.
After her discharge from hospital she was booked in for a home visit to discuss her transfer from DLA to PIP but she was later told that she would have to attend an appointment in person in Rochdale. Unable to attend the meeting because she was still unwell, the Jobcentre stopped her DLA payments, in spite of her explaining her circumstances and backing this up with evidence.
It really does make one feel ashamed to be an Englishman. This is the sort of workhouse mentality that one would expect to find in the pages of a Dickens novel and not modern England, the sixth richest nation on earth. We understand Lisa is appealing the decision and has spoken to her MP about her case.

I cut out a heart from the tissue paper and he happily started drawing a picture. I gave him a yellow and a red marker to use and he only used the yellow one! It is his favorite color..... We taped a little heart next to his picture and added a spiderman sticker. We folded the heart into a tiny envelope and sealed it using another spiderman sticker.
Maybe we will give this to Grandma C!

Any vibes ? I'm thinking of moving from Michelin DH24's to the Diggas. Weight saving 200 grams and have heard some good things about them. I need to shed some weight off the bike if I can but don't want to give up traction. Price is all a bit of a whatever.
For info I'm 205 lbs riding hard and often - DH/ shuttle and lift assisted bike park on dry hard packed and loose shale/dusty trails.
