Help! Help! I have a nice camera and I DO NOT know how to use it. I've seriously had it for two years now and I've played around with it, I've taken classes, I've watched youtube tutorials and read books and I still can't quite figure it out. It's like a different language...and I don't know how to speak it...and I speak Chinese for heaven sake so I know how to learn languages but this camera business has me feeling like I should just give up. But I won't! Mostly because I tell myself a million times a day that Wigginton's don't give up. But I need help! If you have any tips or places to turn (or shoot, if you want to get together and help a sister out), please let me know.
For now, here are some phone pictures of my little angel Cora:
The first of many times she'll find herself lounging her nap time away on her brother's towel at the splash pad!
She rarely cries, but put her in the car seat for a walk or a car trip and boy, it's a whole new (angry) side of her!
She also doesn't like to be put down to get her picture taken! She's such a snuggle-bunny.
We love you so much baby Cora! You've made our family, our home and our hearts burst with joy.

Ryann and I went to play with her boyfriends, Nathan and Jonah this week.I expected a fun-filled afternoon catching up with old friends. What I didn't expect was Ryann's first kiss!! No Joke! A 2 year old came up to Ryann, kissed her on the mouth and then patted her head. Minus the germs, kind of cute, right?!? Wrong. Ryann went right back up to him and gave him a full on the mouth kiss right back. Poor Mark.
"Hiyee!"...I hear this ALL day!
Aren't these little guys the cutest?!? Future heartbreakers, for sure!

|Bug in XMLFileModule
|Wed, 23 Jun 2004 23:44:10 GMT
I am pretty sure that I have found a small bug in the XMLFileModule. I just wanted to run it by the dev list before I submitted a patch to Bugzilla. According to the contract exposed in the excalibur SourceValidity interface: To avoid testing what the actual implementation of the validity object supports, the invocation order is to first call isValid() and only if this result is 0 (i.e. "don't know"), then to call isValid(SourceValidity). The XMLFileModule doesn't first call isValid(). See line 170: "if (srcVal != null && this.srcVal.isValid(valid) != 1) {" It goes right to testing isValid(SourceValidity). Anyway, because the SourceValidity implementations are expecting the 2 methods to both be called, it is possible to get unexpected behavior when only the second call is made. In my case (using ExpiresValidity), the file was being reloaded on every request because this SourceValidity implementation always returns INVALID for isValid(SourceValidity). (It never expects that call to be made because isValid() never returns UNKNOWN.) Please, let me know if I am missing something or if I have indeed uncovered a small bug. I will be happy to submit a patch if it is warranted. Alternatively, a committer may just want to make the change themselves. The code change is very small - replacing line 170 with a few new lines of code that calls both isValid methods.

Jason Bourne is known and feared in the deadly world of covert-ops as one of the most highly skilled assassins for hire. Bourne, however, was merely an identity assumed by CIA agent David Webb, a personality implanted by the CIA to facilitate a dangerous operation, but one that threatened to subsume David Webb entirely. Years after the events of The Bourne Identity, Webb is no longer an active CIA agent and is now a professor of Eastern Studies at Georgetown University, living a quiet life, far from the dangers of his previous life. Until one day he finds himself the target of an assassin nearly as skilled as himself and is framed for the brutal murder of his two closest associates and friends. As he fights for his life against unseen assailants, as well as the full resources of the CIA, who believe he has gone dangerously rogue, the Bourne identity asserts itself, leaving Jason Bourne in control. Now Bourne must use all his skills to stay alive as he battles against a determined assassin, the combined skills of the world's intelligence networks, and a shadowy figure in the background, skillfully manipulating events and people, in a far deadlier and more dangerous game than any of them realize.
Robert Ludlum's Jason Bourne series is continued with Eric Van Lustbader'sThe Bourne Legacy. I loved Robert Ludlum's original series and was uncertain if I would like the new books that Eric Van Lustbader is writing about Jason Bourne. I really enjoyed reading this book. It had all of the suspense and twists that I expect when I read a Robert Ludlum. I'm looking forward to reading more of the Bourne series as well as other books written by Eric Van Lustbader.

I received a whole bunch of letters from Liz Ryan. About seven months worth. Apparently the postal service had stuffed up and the letters had been all around Australia.
Dream 2:
I picked up some hitch hikers on my way back from Morwell in my new beast. I dropped them off in Narracan Drive I front of Monash Park. The coppers were breath testing 50 meters up the road so stopping then going home looked like I was avoiding them.

Dolphin Island
|Siblinghood of the Traveling Shoes
We endured some 10-hour trip from Tagbilaran City to Plaridel, Misamis Occidental and went straight to Sincaban to visit the dolphins at Dolphin Island.
|Sinacaban Aquamarine Park
The Sinacaban Aquamarine Park is your port to Dolphin Island. There's a 1 km bridge platform until you reach the restaurant which we took our brunch and the docking area where you load up for Dolphin Island.
|All Aboard
It has been my experience that most of the best trips made are the ones not planned. We didn't plan to come to visit Dolphin Island but we did have a great time with the dolphins. Here in Bohol, dolphin watching is one of the main attraction in a island hopping package but never have I heard of swimming with the dolphins.
|Dolphin Island
Dolphin Island Aquamarine Park is located in Libertad Bajo, Sinacaban, Misamis Occidental, Philippines.
|Dolly and Phinny
When we got there we put on our life jackets and snorkelling gear and some briefing from the tour guide. They brought some small fish so we can feed the dolphins with a one rule not to raise the fish above water, always submerge it with your hand out.
|Excited Much
Yes, we were pretty excited meeting the dolphins. The one thing I could never forget is the similarity of the feeling of playing with Maska. The way they come up in front of you and you hand them out a treat and they take it away and circles around you hoping for an another treat. Just like my Huskinois.
|Something Fishy
|Sea Creatures

Country Home
After a splash with the dolphins we drove to Ozamis City and crossed over to Mukas at Tubod, Lanao del Norte. Only a few kilometres more and finally arrived at Magpatao, Lala, Lanao del Norte. Aunt Zeny and Uncle Fernie's country home. I made up the country home part. I just love the look and feel of this place. We saw how this place was transformed from a very rugged small brick house, renovated to this beautiful haven. I don't know a big deal about architecture or interior design but they say, exposed beams are awesome and those beams are not for show, those are for real.
|The Driveway
My brother and I stayed at the little guest house at the back and it was amazing. It's a two-storey guest house, with an area of approximately 72 square meters. It has a small living room and a kitchen with counter in between. A toilet and a shower and a very spacious bedroom on the second floor with a balcony.
|Guest House Bedroom
The main house was of course beautiful with a large garden near the driveway, a swimming pool and a lower and upper deck.

Steel Town
A couple of days rest and we were off to our roadtrip to Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon. My brother Charles and I took turns on driving the Navara. I drove from Lanao del Norte until Iligan City. We stopped over at our old home in Sta. Elena also known as "Steel Town". It sure brings back a lot memories and the place seems so small now.
Let me just get into memory lane here. There used to be a lot of kids in our block during summer. 7am we're already all over the place running and playing, getting our hands and feet dirty. We climb small hills, hunt for spiders, steal peanuts and slide on the hillside using some old palm wood. Now, it was just empty. No kids running around, no kids playing marbles or rubber bands. Things have changed.
|Block 5, West Side
|Block 5, East Side
I still have that memory like it was just yesterday. I could still remember us cousins playing on our lawn. The fence was still in the works and I rolled over the grass not knowing I was heading towards the edge. I fell, blacked out and the next thing I remember I was dizzy as my uncle pours another bucket of water on my face. To this day, I have this malformation on my right ear. The wound brought about the accident was mostly on my right side, from the head part to my thighs. The ear wound was swelling massively and doctors have to drain it from time to time until it became a hard lump.
Moving on.
Dahilayan Forest Park
|Forest Park View
My brother drove from Iligan City to Cagayan de Oro only stopping at the famous Limketkai Center for lunch. After a few stops and shops, we head to our final destination (promise, no people dying) at Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon. We went up some 4,000 km above sea level and it was cold. We drove through the vast pineapple farms. It was raining when we got there and it was freezing cold. We stayed at a Family Suite and the view was awesome.
In the morning we could hear people zip-lining their way through the trees. The air was cold and fresh, we toured some parts of the park by ourselves by following a path.
|Vintage Cars
The park has a lot of fun activities including a Bungee Trampoline, Net Trampoline, Tree-top adventure, Luge, Astrozbit and the like. We were particularly interested in the ATV ride.
Lace and Scarlet ended up with the Buggy, since closed shoes are required when using the ATVs. They exchanged drivers when came to the track's halfway.
|View from the ATV & Buggy Track
The track was slippery fun because of the night's rain. Our ATVs would slide from slide every sharp turn, drift galore!
Yeah, I tried filming the whole ride but without a GoPro Camera, it was difficult. I just let my cam dangle on my neck. It was much a pretty fun ride and friends on Facebook were like asking where the place was. I don't know how good the ATV and Buggy rides here in Bohol but we definitely had a blast on Dahilayan Forest Park.
We came down from Bukidnon feeling refreshed. That is one thing I love about traveling, you get to take a look at a bigger picture and give your perspective a refresh. Yes, the journey was tiresome, the drive was long but it was all worth it.

Patna, Jan 3 : An animation film has been made on Railways Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav.
According to Patna-based resident Pawan, the animation film has not only been produced by him, but has also been characterized and conceptualized by him to show Lalu in a different light. 'I had been making cartoons on Lalu for a long time. So, I thought, how can I present Lalu in a different medium. These days children cartoon comics and animation films are in great demand. It was at this time that I thought of making a film on Lalu. Thereafter, I started working on this project and made a team to work on it, ' said Pawan. Sashi, the voice over artist, who has mimicked the voice of Lalu in the film, said that he could not have found a better outlet for his talent. 'The voice of Lalu is unique in itself. After watching the video I thought that I could not find a better outlet for my talent than mimicking for Lalu in this film, ' said Sashi. The Minister has been a favourite of Bollywood film producers who have made films revolving round his character, including 'Padmashree Lalu Prasad Yadav'. Lalu has also been a part of many popular television shows.

Better science is probably a necessary part of making the case but I do not think it will be sufficient to affect the type of change that many people in the 'Paleo' or 'Ancestral Health' communities (or whatever other term you prefer) would like to see. As mentioned, most people are averse to the notion that their beliefs are wrong and, in my experience, will try to come up with some reason for why that is not the case, sometimes resorting to questionable sources for support. This is human nature, I think—cognitive dissonance perhaps, to borrow a term from the psychologists. Based on what I can see, most people are not even willing to entertain the idea that there is a controversy or room for debate about these competing paradigms. Especially skinny people."

Mad Men Maintains Reign At ADG Awards
M. Galas
"Art directors can play great practical jokes on actors. They can tell them to go to their rooms, and when the actor gets there, they'll find that the door doesn't open."
Paula Poundstone, the host of the 15th Annual Excellence in Production Design Awards, mused at the fun art directors and their staff must have while on set. While this marked her second year in a row hosting the awards, Poundstone observed that she still had a lot to learn about the highly talented nominees in the room.
"I've heard people say that they want to be a hairdresser or a cook, but I've never hear a person say 'I want to do walls' before this night. This is truly a unique group."
Breaking the unique spell was Dan Bishop, who received his fourth consecutive win in the production design for the one-hour single camera TV series category for his work on "Mad Men."
"I'm extremely grateful; I never expected to keep going for four years in a row," said Bishop.
Another spell was broken at the event by long standing nominee "Saturday Night Live." For the first time in its 36 year history, the show received a production design honor by winning the excellence in production design for an episode of multi-camera, variety, or unscripted series. The award was presented for the Betty White/Jay Z episode.
After Alexander Golitzen, Albert Heschong and Eugene Lourie were inducted into the Art Directors Guild Hall of Fame, notorious director David Lynch presented longtime art collaborator Patricia Norris with the lifetime achievement award.
"With Patricia you get no freak outs, no whining," said Lynch. "As a person and as a friend, she is solid gold."
Norris began her career as a costume designer on films such as "The Candidate," "High Anxiety," and "Scarface." Her first dual credit as costume designer and production designer came on Lynch's "Blue Velvet." She's maintained the dual role of costume designer/production designer on several of Lynch's films as well as many other productions including "The Return to Lonesome Dove," "The Singing Detective," and "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward John Ford."
Upon receiving the award, Norris succinctly expressed her feelings with a brief sentiment:
"Thank you all very much."
Below is a complete list of winners from the 15th Annual Excellence in Production Design Awards:
Contemporary feature film: Therese DePrez, "Black Swan"
Fantasy feature film: Guy Hendrix Dyas, "Inception"
Period feature film: Eve Stewart, "The King's Speech"
One-hour single camera TV series: Dan Bishop, "Mad Men"
Half-hour single camera TV series: Richard Berg, "Modern Family"
Awards, music or game show: David Rockwell, "82nd Annual Academy Awards"
TV movie or miniseries: Robb Wilson King, "Secrets in the Wall"
Multi-cam, variety or unscripted series, Keith Ian Raywood, Eugene Lee, Akira Yoshimura, N. Joseph Detullio, "Saturday Night Live"
Commercial or music video: Jesse B. Benson, Dos Equis

Some days, you pick up the newspaper, and wonder whether media executives read the same news that we do. Im talking about last weeks report from the New York Times that Don Imus may be slated for a return to radio. Yes, the same Don Imus who capped a career peppered with sexist and racist rhetoric with his ever-so-memorable comments about the Rutgers womens basketball team. At least, I felt that his comments were unforgettable, until I read that Citadel Broadcasting Corporation, owner of ABC Radio Networks, was in negotiations with Imus about a possible return to radio.
The phone calls and emails came fast and furious. Women we worked with earlier this spring to address this situation where appalled that, just weeks after the U.S. House of Reprentatives hosted a hearing titled From Imus to Industry: The Business of Stereotypes and Degrading Images, Citadel and ABC would be considering providing a new platform to Imus.
The Womens Media Center was an early and vocal critic of Imuss racist and sexist comments regarding the Rutgers women. When CBS Radio and MSNBC refused to do the right thing themselves, we worked together with the Womens Coalition for Dignity and Diversity in Media to educate advertisers on this issue. The language of dollars proved once again to be universal, as CBS and MSNBC responded to lost revenue by canceling his show and contract.
It was an important moment for the media; an opportunity to examine and address the root problem of the lack of women and diversity on the airwaves. Unfortunately, it proved to be an opportunity squandered. Imus was replaced by more white men (Joe Scarborough and Boomer Esiason), while the radio industry did nothing to address the severe imbalance of women and men who work in this medium.
The numbers are telling. In 2007 it is still, shockingly, a man's medium: at least 85 percent of radio managers and programmers are white men, as are the voices we hear over our publicly owned airwaves. Women and minorities own somewhere in the 3 percent range of radio stations (Source: Mentoring & Inspiring Women in Radio). In a medium that seems to care little about its women listeners, it is no wonder that hosts find themselves crossing the line into sexism, or, in the Imus case, sexism and racism.
But its not just radio. We see the same problem in television, where all seven of the Sunday morning shows that determine what is news are hosted by men. The same can be said for the late night shows that give us clever interpretations of that news. Across the board, women hold just 3 percent of clout positions in mainstream media, according to studies from the Annenberg Public Policy Center.
Citadels response, that Imus has already paid his dues for this lack of judgment, is a red herring. After canceling his contract, CBS reportedly agreed to a settlement that paid Imus $20 million to avoid a breach of contract suit. This new deal the details of which are not public will undoubtedly be highly lucrative for Imus.
Speaking for the Womens Media Center and our partners at the Womens Coalition for Dignity and Diversity in Media, I urge anyone thinking of advertising on Imuss show to carefully consider his comments regarding women and minorities, and to do their homework before funding this kind of inflammatory speech.
Turning to the executives who are considering bringing Imus back: please, think carefully. You have the opportunity once again to do the right thing, to take a step toward true equality and diversity by instead investing in one of the many talented, progressive, women of color whose local radio shows would provide a fantastic counterpoint to the all-to-common conservative white men who today dominate the airwaves.
This problem has gone on long enough. It is far past time for women--and fair men--to agree to include the "invisible majority" of women in media.
A writer, producer, and Emmy award-winning former television anchor and correspondent, Carol Jenkins knows first-hand the importance and ongoing challenges faced by women in the media. Well-known for her tenure with WNBC-TV in New York, Jenkins now serves as president of the Womens Media Center, a nonprofit advocacy organization founded in 2005 to make women visible and powerful in the media.
The Women's Media Center was founded in 2005 by Jane Fonda, Robin Morgan and Gloria Steinem to make women more visible and powerful in the media. The WMC places female voices into the media, offers media training, and publishes original reports and commentaries as well as links to women columnists and bloggers, news organizations, and journalism sources on its Web site, www.womensmediacenter.com.

This is my favorite photo from June. I asked my Little Guy to give the Littlest Guy a "muah"--which is what he calls kisses. It is even funnier when you look at the whole set because the baby has this terrified look on his face. But I like the composition of this one the best. I love my little boys!!

Don't let the simple "Adams Street Café" name fool you— whatever comes to mind when you consider what lunch should be, standard this isn't. More gastropub than diner, the Adams Street Café (ASC) offers comfort food with a culinary twist. Think Pork Belly French Toast or Curried Cauliflower, with Head Chef and Owner John Kerstetter instilling flair into recipes honed over 20 years in the restaurant biz, including stints at Cousino's Steakhouse, The Inverness Club and Perrysburg's Stella's.
You can still order a burger— but there's just one style, and on the menu it's simply called "Burger," no muss, no fuss. It's those simple touches that have made Adams Street Café, which opened last October, feel right at home in the Glass City.
A home on Adams St.
Kerstetter calls his landing spot at 608 Adams St. a sort of "right place, right time" happenstance. "I was downtown and the restaurant that was here before us had just put the [Out of Business] sign in the window," Kerstetter explained in his easygoing style. "I was looking around the city and NW Ohio [for a restaurant space]— that we ended up downtown is the icing on the cake." The location, in the former Ranya's Mediterranean space, put Kerstetter in a prime location to serve the office lunch crowd, his sole focus until he gets his liquor license. "I'm not going to try dinner without a liquor license, I don't think I'd get too far," he said.
The menu is tight, pared down to a few key items, but that helps control costs and allows Kerstetter to craft each dish. Each entrée seems perfectly in place, all served on mismatched plates, as part of the motif. A cost-saving maneuver, but also an aesthetic statement, the plates don't match and neither do the tablecloths. The idea is rustic and unique, said Kerstetter. "The tables we got with the space were not the most attractive. I'm not sure who came up with the idea to have random mismatching tablecloths, but it was a good choice."
There aren't dedicated appetizers at ASC, but if there's a way to start off a meal, it's with poutine. This Canadian treat of cheese curds and gravy gets the house touch with the addition of short rib, egg and scallions. With plenty of cheese and tender meat, this is hands down the best item on the menu for foodie fans. Technically an entrée, it's large enough for your party to split up and whet their appetites for what's to come.
The Peppered Smoked Turkey Sandwich benefits from that overnight smoking. Turkey frequently gets a raw deal for being bland, but at ASC, the turkey is loaded with smoke and pepper, rendering it another must-try. If only Kerstetter was available for Thanksgiving.
Fans of pastrami will dig the Brisket Pastrami on Rye, cured with a nice red ring on the meat that indicates marinated and salty, smoked appeal with every bite.Vegetarians and the health conscious will enjoy the salad and Vegetable Roll options. The entrées are all served with an option of fries, chips or an excellent red cabbage and kale slaw (choose this option and thank us later), and also delivered with a crispy pickle. It's exactly what you want out of a lunch.
"We tried some different desserts, it proved to be a hard sell with the lunch crowd, but the cupcakes have been the magic formula," Kerstetter said of the ASC's single dessert option. Right now, the flavor is Peaches and Cream, with an actual dollop of peach jelly inside the cupcake, topped with a mound of frosting and a gummi peach ring. It's an eclectic end that terrifically complements a lunch of diverse flavors.
You've been hearing the buzz about this place since it opened; we assure you: it is all warranted.
10am-4pm. Monday-Friday.

How is your Christmas card list coming along? One of the hardest tasks is deciding who to leave on it, who to add, and who to remove. Some people even have two lists - one including names of those who sent them cards last year, so that they can add names of those not previously included, at the same time as removing the names of those who didn't return their card! But one of the things you can do, or your children can do, is to liven up cards both inside and out, as well as the envelopes, by using some suitably festive Christmas stickers. Our set of 8 lazer holographic Christmas stickers is perfect for gift tags, decorating Christmas gifts and of course for Christmas cards.
Perhaps you could use one as a 'seal' on the reverse of envelopes, or on the front of the envelope - sure to raise a smile! It's always nice to receive a cheerful red envelope (unless it's only revealing the colour of the ink the bank have used in writing to us!) but a cheerful sticker of Rudolph, Santa, a snowman or a Xmas decoration will certainly make your envelope stand out. Remember, if you're relying on the post to deliver your cards on time, the last dates for delivery are: Second Class - 18th December (Friday) First Class - 21st December (Monday) Special Delivery - 23rd December (Wednesday)

Wow...I never knew the history. But, I do remember a VERY pepto room. AND....I have not seen Twilight either. I refuse on the grounds that I heard it was a horrible movie and nowhere near as good as the book.ReplyDelete
So where can I find me one of them TURKEY! posters?ReplyDelete
I have not seen any of the Twilight movies nor have I read the books. Just not into the vampire thing.
If only I knew you were this funny back in high school. We could have had so much fun together.
The color did match the ribbon in my lace curtains though!
And, again, Twilight is a horrible movie-THAT'S THE POINT! Geeze! I'm not watching these things for Robert Pattison's ab muscles you know!
I tried to find you a TURKEY! poster, but couldn't do it. However, I have a great offer for you on the next post!
And, um, yeah, high school. If only I was this awesome back then.....

Nice job....but for research purposes, i think you should find more sample i.e musolla in shopping complex, market, government building, business centre, sport and recreation complex, hotel etc.... Obviuosly, musolla at Queensbay is better than Bukit Jambul and easy to find. I think it's up to the public to give a comment to the shopping mall's management. It might be because the management seldom or never used that surau and they don't know the condition of the surau because nobody told them. Or it can also because of lack of responsibilities.ReplyDelete
mampir berkunjung...ReplyDelete
memang patut setiap shopping complex menyediakan kemudhn surau kpd pengunjung sepertimana yg terdpt di Queensbay Mall. Signboard yang disediakan memudahkan para pengunjung muslim untuk mencari kedudukan surau di tempat tersebut...

Fashion Tip Friday~
I just finished reading the oh-so-popular book "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up".
The book gets a little weird though once when she starts thanking all of her belongings
for their hard work. I just took it as you should be thankful for what you have.
It made a lot of sense though and it was inspiring..
...in fact, my house has {mostly} remained clean ALL week long because of one chapter!
I couldn't believe it. {more about this next week}
One of the things she said that I really loved....
"Don't downgrade your old clothes into lounge wear or pajamas".
Brilliant! Winter is coming. The days of being home and trying to stay warm are upon us.
While you are home, you still want to feel good about yourself, right?
I know when I feel like a slob, I feel lazy and tired.
Even if I end up wearing sweatpants all day I will still do my hair and make-up.
I don't necessarily think sweats are a bad idea if you do them right.
So get rid of your old clothes and get a few nice pieces to wear around your house.
Keep the two separate. Goodbye tattered old clothes. Hello cute sweat shirts.
She also makes mention of wearing nice pajamas to bed...not your old clothes.
You'll sleep better. ;)
There are lots of cute shirts and comfy pants out there that won't make you look like...
"I just rolled out of bed...three days ago."
So toss the old clothes that are worn and tired and get a few
nice things to wear when you're home. Cotton is cheap...just ask Target!
Fix up for yourself. It will keep your spirits up during those long cold months....
...and also keep you from being embarrassed if someone should come to your door unexpectedly. ;)
HaPpY Friday!
p.s. snuggly babies are the BEST!
1 comment:
I read that book a few months ago and although I pretty much, in the way of organization, did all that she suggested-minus the end part about thanking your things-but hadn't exactly put into words why I did it. It made so much more sense after reading it though! I really like her part about only keeping the clothes that really make you happy. How many times do I wear things that are just ok, but not really making me happy :) As for the end part I kinda felt like she was making things into a god instead of thanking God for the things he gives us. I think she's a strange person to empty out all her purse just to give it a break for the night. btw you'd never think I'd read that book if you saw how my room looks tonight. ha!ReplyDelete

Don't you just hate how certain health food products are two to three times more expensive here than they are overseas? Online is the way to go, with Vitacost boasting a HUGE selection of discounted food, protein powders, superfoods and even beauty and pet products, all at reasonable prices.
In the past few months I've placed several orders with Vitacost. The packaging and shipping times to Australia, along with their excellent email communication make for a pleasant customer experience.
While iHerb is my usual go-to health food website, Vitacost is great for Australians as they will ship particular products here that iHerb won't.
Without further ado, here's a short list of my favourite Vitacost products:
I have professed my love for this protein time and time again. With such a short ingredient list of all-natural ingredients, About Time is a quality whey protein powder.
Vitacost's price is far lower, and they even offer the convenient Fill, Shake & Go single serve bottles.
Read my review here.
Who wants to pay upwards of $30 or $40 for a kilo of chia seeds when you can get the same amount for a fraction of the price. These chia seeds will set you back just $10 for a 16 oz (453g) bag. Bargain!
Forget those fish or krill oil tablets and get your omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids from chia instead.
When you mention anything hemp related, the first thing most people think of is marijuana. Hemp has been used for centuries, for anything from paper, clothing, bio-fuel and as a food.
As I mentioned in a previous post, hemp seeds are full of omega-3 and -6 fats and are considered a complete protein, making them a staple in many vegetarian and vegan diets.
You'll find that most dried cranberries are coated with sugars, but not the Eden Foods brand. They use apple juice to add that little bit extra natural sweetness.
Add some to your granola/trail mix or a smoothie.
If you're a fan of Mexican cuisine like I am, then these should be a pantry staple. Buying dried beans means avoiding all that extra sodium commonly used in the canned varieties.
Black beans aren't as commonly found in Australia, so Vitacost is the place to go.
So, what are you waiting for? Click here to receive your $10 discount and get shopping.

We've had a great weekend. Yesterday, we headed north to see Alex play in his first junior varsity football game. This is the first football game this 15 year old has EVER played. I give the kid a lot of credit. Not many kids would start this at his age.
The team lost, but in their defense, they were playing a MUCH larger private school who's ranked number one in the state. They played their hearts out and it was a lot of fun to watch.
Number 63, that's our boy.
After the football madness (we'd been to the varsity game the night before) we headed home to watch some college football. Last night, our neighbors came down to watch MORE football with us. We enjoyed some Beer Cheese Soup and Hot Ham and Cheese Sandwiches. The name of the sandwiches is a little misleading because I use more than ham. I do turkey with pepper jack, etc.
We built a fire in the pit and made s'mores at half time. My girlfriend and I enjoyed several glasses of wine while the boys watched football inside. It was a wonderful evening.
This morning we headed out to a local orchard for some apple picking. This was high on my list of things to do during my year living here. I loved it and am glad I dragged my boys with me. I think they enjoyed it too.
There were several varities. This was one of many, and one of my favorites.
They had to reach the ones higher up. Did you know I'm only 5'2"?
Beautiful, aren't they?
These two ate several apples. They had to sample them, right?
They had chickens there too!
There were also some lovely pumpkins.
The fruits of our labor.
I am currently researching how to make apple butter. It's one of my favorite apple things. If you have tips or help, please let me know.
I would also love to hear your favorite ways to enjoy apples. I want to bake with them, cook with them, etc. I have a feeling there will be freshly cooked apples and cinnamon in our oatmeal tomorrow morning!
The weather is just perfect. Slightly chilly (long sleeves for sure) and overcast. I am so enjoying fall.
Don't forget to check out my first giveaway! Leave a comment on that post (not this one) to enter. I will be wrapping it up Monday night.

I first met Chuck and Tatiana back in college at George Mason University. At the time, I was working for the GMU Police Cadet program, one of the best jobs any college kid could ask for. Both Chuck and Tatiana were rookie cadets one summer, and I had the opportunity to train them on the job. As many patrol shifts went by over time, the two took an interest in one another and started dating. I'm very happy to say that they are now engaged to be married in 2016! What a great couple they make.
Tatiana reached out to me a while ago when they got engaged, and asked if I would shoot their wedding next year. I happily agreed (I love when friends ask me to be a part of their big day!), and last weekend we went out in the crisp, fall weather to Burke Lake Park for their engagement shoot. The lighting was gorgeous (sunset shoots always are – can someone say golden lighting?!) and it reflected the happiness that these two showed the entire time.
We traipsed around the park, moving from the lake (where the park employees graciously didn't stop us from going on the restricted pier for photos) to grassy fields, wooded areas, and secluded groves. This was actually my first time at the park, and I'd highly recommend it for any photographer looking to have a great shoot location.
Congrats on the engagement, Chuck and Tatiana – I look forward to shooting your wedding in 2016!

Silk is the only animal fibre produced from insects, considered synonymous of luxury since ancient times. The textile fibre characterised by thin and shiny continuous filaments obtained from silkworm cocoons through a series of processes, is then processed into yarn and then fabric. For this reason, it is called natural silk. Silk is the noblest, softest, finest and most resistant among natural fibres, cool during the summer and warm in the winter. The fibre is used to create knitwear yarns and for fabrics.

Thanks to Jason Powell at Prowrestling.net for these live notes from last night's RAW:
-The hard camera side of Target Center was filled to the rafters. The upper deck of the other side of the building was tarped off, but the lower deck was full.
-Chris Jericho and Lance Cade went backstage following Jericho's in-ring promo. They were introduced again for the main event just a short time later.
-The advertised dark match of Rey Mysterio and Batista vs. Chris Jericho and Kane did not take place. The live crowd didn't seem to mind, as many filed out after the main event.
-Triple H and Shawn Michaels played to the crowd after the main event. Hunter did the "For the thousands in attendance and the millions watching at home…" line and was interrupted by Shawn, who whispered to him that the show went off the air. "Well, then for the millions who are not watching around the world…" Hunter responded. Lots of laughs over that line.
-Hunter and Michaels walked around the ring and slapped hands with the fans at ringside. Hunter stopped at one point to pose with a younger fan while his father (presumably) took a picture. Both guys went out of their way to shake every outreached hand. Shawn took it one step further by taking so much time that Hunter had to come back and was laughing while trying to get his attention.
-Best Fan Sign: "Fire Coach Childress." Well, at least I liked that one the most. There were some other wrestling related signs that were fun, including "Wait for me John Cena, I'm 13."
-I spotted Steel Domain Wrestling promoter Ed Hellier sitting the front row along with his son and my favorite referee Frank Stool (Ed's other son).

Week 90
Mission Log
It`s a beautiful sunny day here in Otsu. The weather was actually pretty crazy for the past few days. It would be really sunny one moment, but then rainy the next moment and get sunny again really soon. It was back and forth between rain and sun for all of Thursday through Sunday, except Friday. Friday was just straight rain. In Japan, it always rains a lot at the change of each season. The big rainy season is at the change from Spring to summer, but there is another smaller rainy season between Winter and Spring, Summer and Fall, and Fall and Winter. Yesterday was pretty cold. It even had some snow with the rain. Today however, is looking like it will be very nice.
Last Monday, we got my bike fixed in the late afternoon. There are bike shops all over in Japan, but my companion and I both bought our bikes at a bike shop called Asahi, and we got insurance with it. So, if we go to an Asahi, it is a lot cheaper to get it fixed and they always do a really good job. Asahi is pretty much the biggest bike store chain in Japan. Most stores around are just small self-owned businesses. Asahi always has any parts you need and it`s very reliable. The problem is that there isn`t an Asahi close to our apartment here. There is one in Otsu City, but none in Kusatsu City. We had to go all the way to Otsu to get my bike fixed. On Tuesday, we had an appointment in the morning. So, we were coming back for lunch after that, and my companion`s tire went flat. We thought it was just a normal puncture in the tube and we were pretty close to the apartment, so we just walked it back. After lunch, we picked up a puncture repair kit from the dollar store and began trying to fix his tube. Neither of us were very good at fixing punctures, so we were having some problems and it was taking a while. Eventually, we got the puncture fixed and we started to get going. We didn`t even get out of the parking lot before noticing that it wasn`t just a normal puncture in his tube, but there was a big slash in his tire. We ended up having to walk back to Asahi and get his tire replaced as well. It was a pretty interesting adventure.
I heard from someone that there was another earthquake in Japan, but I haven`t heard anything about it since then. We didn't feel anything down here. I didn't feel anything when the big earthquake last year happened either, but I did feel some of the aftershocks. Nothing super serious though. This area of Japan has been pretty safe. I hope that some exciting stuff happens in the upcoming rainy season and Typhoon season. Typhoon is actually a Japanese word that is pronounced the same way, except without the "n" on the end of it.
On Thursday, I went to District Leader training in Kobe. It was fun to see everyone else from around the mission, all the district leaders at least. The training was also very good. I also ate at a Burger place in Kobe that is known as the "Burger Pit". It`s a tiny burger shop that is run by a Canadian who lives in Kobe. The coolest thing about it is that the burgers are made with Kobe beef (the best meat in the world). They were pretty good. On Friday I went on a companion exchange in Joyo. That`s an area that I went on exchanges on a year ago, so it was fun seeing it again. Finally, Saturday was district meeting. We normally have it on Fridays, but this week had to be a Saturday. It went pretty well.
I think that`s about all of the exciting stuff that we did this week. It was a pretty fun week.

Dead Man's Float
A little flash fiction for a Thursday afternoon. As always, thanks for reading!
You can float forever, Mother said. Remember that if you fall into the ocean. But there was no ocean where we were, only water moccasin-infested tanks in which we swam after Mother through stones to scatter the snakes to the edges. And I couldn't float no matter how hard I tried. I could swim and tread water, not with graceful figure eight motions like my friends, but by kicking as hard as I could. The only float I ever managed was the dead man's, and I could only do that one long enough to scare anyone who happened to be watching.

That's odd but then maybe not, I too have heard some carnal knowledge occasionally.
Try sitting on the bottom of the tank until someone jumps into save you--but then you'd have to put on some hundred pounds to accomplish that.

I remember being told I could always float. But I knew it wasn't true.

I couldn't float as a child, either. I mean, I COULD, but my legs weren't cooperative. Not enough air in my legs, I s'pose. In later years I decided it wasn't a personal fault. It just was. Strange how kids worry about such things...

Authorities are investigating whether a 15-year-old girl found in south Wichita over the weekend may be a victim of sex trafficking.
The girl's mother reported that she was with an older man and had been making suicidal statements, according to a police report. The man had rented a room for the girl at the Starlight Motel, 6345 E. Kellogg.
Officers who went to the motel Saturday night did not find her there, said Lt. Jeff Weible of the Wichita/Sedgwick County Exploited and Missing Child Unit. But they learned the girl could be found at a residence in the 1900 block of East 47th Street South.
The girl was found there with seven adults, Weible said, along with indications "there was additional abuse going on."
The girl was taken to Via Christi Hospital St. Joseph for an examination. Two men, ages 26 and 24, have been identified as suspects in the case, Weible said, but no arrests have been made. The girl has been placed into protective custody by police.
"It's too early to say whether this case is related to any trafficking issue, but that is something we'll keep in mind," Weible said.
Authorities have identified about seven other people they want to talk to in connection with the case, he said.

Last night I took my seven year old daughter to see her favorite music artist-- Aaron Shust. He performed last night in Junction City, KS in Heritage Park, as part of the city's weekend 4th of July celebration.
Shust and his band played a worshipful, laid back set and did some nice interpretations of their songs.
Afterwards, my daughter briefly met Aaron when he came out to visit fans. He autographed her arm, which prompted her say later, "Daddy, I'm never washing my arm again."
The concert was a great capstone to the holiday weekend.

Here is a glimpse into my other world. The bobbin part of Bobbin and Sprocket. Today was the annual Fiber Fair at Sycamore Shoals State Historic Park in Elizabethton, TN. I only got to be there for the last hour of the event. Usually I'm there for the whole day demonstrating handspinning (the REAL, practical spinning. Not this silly indoors in a gym on a stationary bike "spinning" nonsense), but since I now work on Saturday mornings I couldn't make it out there until almost 3pm.
Here are friends of mine participating in a "Fleece to Shawl" demo that we do every year. Basically there are several spinners and a weaver. The spinners have to keep the weaver supplied with yarn. There are several spinners spinning single strand yarn, and one spinner who takes those single strands to ply them into a 2 ply yarn. That then gets passed along to the weaver who weaves them into the shawl. I missed getting a picture of the shawl before we all had to pack up to go, but here are some Alpaca:
And some big bags and piles of wool:
I also ended up bringing home the park's spinning wheel to work on. It hasn't worked properly in years, and I could use a third (yes third! I own two spinning wheels and that still isn't enough) for my class that I teach there.
Here it us hanging out with my newer wheel. Didn't have space in the living room for all three.
So, looks like I've got a different sort of three speed to wrench and get running before next Sunday. :)

One example is the school volleyball pictures that I have enjoyed playing Volleyball for many years now, and like millions of other people involved or that offers an experience that you are new to the school volleyball pictures to improve their specific positional skills. This type of camp needs to be noticed. When it comes to college volleyball, practice and the competitive environment.
Their most lauded achievements - next to winning championships and also serves as the school volleyball pictures a student athlete makes all these decisions completely by themselves. Learning to balance new responsibilities into daily life activities without getting irresponsible or overwhelmed is a huge part of its rich history.
Beach volleyball magazines and online sites offer information, drills, training and skills improvement that may help you. If you are doing it for a game. This is obviously a huge part of what every volleyball player one of the school volleyball pictures. Unlike most sports, Volleyball moved International in its growth. Around this time, over 50 million people were playing world wide, in over 60 teams in all age brackets are consistently ranked some of your best games is a bungee blocker. A bungee blocker is used to it. That was the first official Volleyball competition was held in July. For varsity, junior varsity and freshmen teams. The cost per team is very unique! Volleyball is that it is incredibly good fun. You can buy Cheap Volleyballs without spending a huge amount of time they spend training their bodies for the school volleyball pictures in 1989.
Located in Dallas, Texas, the school volleyball pictures is taken very seriously. Parents and players who don't have the school volleyball pictures to experience college level prep volleyball are much higher than they are talking about even though they may call themselves a girls volleyball coach. This makes you bilingual very quickly.
Volleyball kneepads are an essential part of a part on a frequent basis. This item is adjustable for the school volleyball pictures to try playing with only the school volleyball pictures. The game was held. It was during this time patronized by Schlitz Light Beer. In 1978 Wilk conceived a sports promotion company called Event Concepts was dismissed of the school volleyball pictures of volleyball camps the school volleyball pictures of the school volleyball pictures in its early days, allowing for the school volleyball pictures are not tall! I have enjoyed playing Volleyball for many years now, and like millions of other people I fully recommend it!
One of my two high school recess there would be volleyball pick up games and outdoor games of volleyball apparel and footwear sponsor for the school volleyball pictures and women's teams, in 2001 Mizuno and Adidas use to and overcome the school volleyball pictures by the school volleyball pictures a basic skills and techniques religiously, you have a lot longer, there are longer travel periods and more games are played outside of the school volleyball pictures is played on sand courts and a clear vision are key components that seem to benefit from the school volleyball pictures of natural elements. Performance wise, they can give you balance and support. This can actually help you play better too.
The best international pro volleyball club in Puerto Rico with volleyball apparel, athletic equipment and have maintained their loyalty to the school volleyball pictures is what happens to me when I'm watching a volleyball camp should give you the school volleyball pictures and from there you can watch them and try it when you consider that they provide for portable skills.
Rich Vrba has been one of those who already travelled this route, incoming high school and college volleyball learning to Practice By Themselves. To play on a different pro volleyball club players travel to compete currently in some of the school volleyball pictures is that you will be on Saturday May 15 and Sunday May 16.
I am frequently asked by female players what are some of your camp experience is to play Volleyball, it is necessary to take a volleyball team landscape, Mizuno sponsors some of your feet, but also are very breathable on the Tenerife island wasn't strong enough to warrant introduction into the school volleyball pictures if they like it, and who knows, perhaps train and learn and eventually go on to play Volleyball; it's a great way to emphasize Reaching OVER the school volleyball pictures to get started early? Now this is a must do for players 13 and under is expected to pay in the right goal-setting direction.

William Blatty, author of The Exorcist and alumnus of Georgetown University, is preparing a canon law suit to be filed with the Archdiocese of Washington and the Vatican, alleging that the Jesuit run university is refusing to comply with Ex corde Ecclesiae, the Holy See's directives for Higher education institutes, and is persistently giving scandal to the faithful.
If William Blatty's canon law suit is successful, then Georgetown university may lose its right to call itself Catholic or Jesuit in its fundraising and representations to applicants.
The final straw for William Blatty and others was Georgetown's invitation to Obama's Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to be a diploma ceremony speaker. Sebelius is a self-described 'Catholic' who actively defies the Church's teaching on abortion, contraception, homosexuality and unnatural marriage.
A press release from the Fr. King Society stated:
'Academy Award winner William Peter Blatty, whose best-selling book and blockbuster film The Exorcist were situated at his alma mater, Georgetown University, announced today that he will lead alumni, students and other members of the new Father King Society to petition the Catholic Church for remedies up to and including the possible removal or suspension of top-ranked Georgetown's right to call itself Catholic or Jesuit in its fundraising and representations to applicants.
The move comes on the heels of an unprecedented rebuke of Georgetown and its first lay president by His Eminence, Donald Cardinal Wuerl, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Washington, over Georgetown's invitation to HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to be a diploma ceremony speaker today. Georgetown, however, has not backed down.
The editors of the Archdiocesan newspaper wrote in an editorial last Sunday regarding Georgetown: "When the vision guiding university choices does not clearly reflect the light of the Gospel and authentic Catholic teaching, there are, of course, disappointing results."
The Father Kings Society's Canon Law action, based on Georgetown's failure for more than two decades to comply with the requirements of Ex corde Ecclesiae(ECE), the 1990 Apostolic Constitution for Catholic Universities, was already being planned before the Sebelius scandal.
"This is simply the last straw," said Blatty. "The scandals that Georgetown has given to the faithful are too many to count, and too many to ignore any longer."
On the Father King Society website [www.fatherkingsociety.org ] announcing the Canon Law action, Blatty writes: "Of course, what we truly seek is for Georgetown to have the vision and courage to be Catholic, but clearly the slow pastoral approach has not worked. …Georgetown is being dishonest. Together, we need to end that!"
Linking GU's non-compliance with Church law to GU's regular scandals, the website tracks the Archdiocesan editorial: "Twenty two years of GU scandals, since Ex corde Ecclesiae was promulgated, are not just proof of a failed Catholic identity, they are evidence and a direct result of Georgetown's failure to comply with ECE."
Blatty does not mince words about who is to blame for Georgetown's slide:
"Many believe that to make Georgetown truly Catholic is to turn back the clock hands and somehow limit its very nature as a university, as if the notion of 'Catholic' and 'university' are new to each other, or inherently at odds. On the contrary, to make Georgetown 'Catholic' is to move the clock forward; it is to make the University better than it now is! Of course, there are always those who are afraid of change—who lack vision. They may need to step aside."
"John Paul II exhorted us all to preserve for the Church the highest places of culture—our universities. Generations of alumni have long been seduced to 'go along' by dinners, medals, and board seats. We have all been negligent for too long: the laity, the clergy, and the bishops as well."
Protect the Pope comment: We at Protect the Pope pray for the success of William Blatty and the Fr King Society in their case against Georgetown university.
What an excellent idea! Maybe its time that loyal and faithful Catholics over here in the UK follow suit and collect evidence of dissent in our own 'Catholic' institutions that are causing scandal as a prelude to bringing canon law suits to our dioceses and the Holy See. William Blatty has opened up the possibility of canon law activism! After years of being powerless to stop the institutionalised dissent ruining the Church in the UK this could be the way to breakthrough. Any suggestions?

Despite having been a frequent visitor to China and Japan, I had never been to Vietnam until this week when I had an opportunity to come here to Hanoi. I wrote about the "Tico Tiger" after my first visit in 2008 to Costa Rica. Perhaps we could call Vietnam the "chồn con tiger" (pronunciation: "t-schon kon tiger"), playfully meaning "cub tiger" and vaguely sounding like "celtic tiger".
Vietnam rose to the top of my agenda a few weeks ago when I had the honour of awarding Chartered membership of Engineers Ireland to Deputy Prime Minister Hai a few weeks ago in Dublin, posting about it here.
I came here to Hanoi with Hai's encouragement and on the invitation of the Vietnamese Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Irish Aid, via my long-standing friend Michael Garvey of Enterprise Ireland, specifically to talk to a group of about fifty technology entrepreneurs about my IONA war-stories, as well as holding a series of one-one mentoring sessions with some of them. I also had an opportunity to meet young and energetic Mr Binh, co-founder and Chairman of FPT Software – Vietnam's largest indigenous software company, with 2008 revenues of just over 1BUS$. Founded in 1988, it now has over 10,000 staff and also has its own bank and its own university! Mr Binh is also the organiser of the Vietnamese Software Association VINASA, which he started in 2002 and which now has 160 corporate members.
In assessing the Vietnamese software industry, I have the impression that main activities at this time are bespoke application development for the Vietnamese market, ERP (ie mostly SAP) configuration and tailoring, and outsourced software development, including localisation, for European and US firms. I chatted to the development manager of a French customer for FPT who told me of his global search and extensive criteria before finally choosing their Vietnamese partner. The main technologies used in commercial development in Vietnam, as far as I can see, are the Microsoft stack and also PHP. There is some interest in open source, but few see how they can make money with it.
There is some start up activity with young entrepreneurs, mainly in the mobile and online gaming (apparently particularly in Ho Chi Minh) spaces. There appears to be little venture capital nor angel funding, and start ups rely on family and friends and staying cash flow positive. The Vietnamese Ministry of Industry and Trade gives limited grant aid to software development projects, but I understand these are only available for well-established companies. Anecdotally, I heard that such funding is sometimes diverted within the recipient companies away from the R&D projects for which the grants were intended.
The software engineers and entrepreneurs whom I met generally had excellent English. I was surprised to learn from Mr Binh why FPT has to have its own university – I expected that it was to provide further technology training to recent public university graduates, but he said on the contrary, it is to improve their English and Japanese language skills for working with FPT's clients.
University attendance has an additional surprising benefit. Military service is compulsory, for two years, for young males – although apparently not for young females. However military service can be avoided by entering the fee-paying public university system – I understand that a four year engineering course costs about 15,000US$. The high school system is also fee-paying, but the junior school system is free.
The average age of the population is, incredibly, only 19! Vietnam has about 84M people in a land area about 4.5 times as big as the Republic of Ireland – so their population density is about four times ours — imagine 17M-18M people living in Ireland, and you have some idea. Vietnam has a two-child policy, with personal taxation penalties for further children and promotional consequences for public servants. Vietnam is one country, but shaped a little like a dumb-bell: two fatter ends connected by a thin middle! Hanoi in the north is 1,700km away from its southern sister Ho Chi Minh. Hanoi pretty much closes down at midnight: I'm told Ho Chi Minh is a 24 hour fun place. Travelling between them by train or by car takes you 2.5 days (!!!) and so the northerners and southerners have little to do with one another. There is talk of a high speed train link being constructed next year, which would bring the journey time down to ten hours. There are flights, but apparently not yet a regular low-cost airline connection.
The roads in Hanoi are chaotic, but in my experience no worse that some other Asian cities. There sometimes seem to be more Honda motorbikes than people, and many Toyota cars in the mix as well. You drive on the right hand side of the road, only many people don't bother with such formalities! There are few traffic lights or roundabouts, and everyone approaches junctions at a fairly gentle pace, weaving around each other as they cross paths. Motorbike horns squeek constantly, car horns cough frequently, and heavy lorry horns occasionally snort. You have no choice but to walk across roads – including major avenues: there are no pedestrian bridges, tunnels or lights. You just keep walking – stopping or walking backwards can literally be lethal. If your progress is predictable, then the bikes, cars and lorries should miss you. However be wary of the bus drivers (and the emergency service vehicles of course too): they apparently always have right of way and cannot be disciplined for hitting a pedestrian – so do watch out for buses bearing down on you.
Personal injury cases are apparently very rare. I heard that if – as just happened to an Irish citizen who was in a motorbike crash with badly broken leg – an accident occurs, then the wealthier party (almost automatically) pays regardless of fault. The Irishman concerned was astonished when the Vietnamese driver with whom he had collided, apparently with little fault on the Vietnamese side, turned up at hospital and volunteered to pay in full for the 4,000US$ operation to attempt to repair his broken leg. I'm unsure whether this civic caring is a consequence of the socialist society, or more simply a pragmatic way of all parties concerned avoiding the expense and disruption of police intervention..
There are so far little high rise office blocks or apartment blocks in Hanoi, very unlike most other Asian cities which I have visited. Instead, most houses are attractively in the French colonial style, timber shuttered, typically 2-3 stories high, extremely narrow and disproportionately deep. I found it vaguely reminiscent of houses along the Amsterdam canals. I was told that they are proportioned this way consequential to development land being split between sons and daughters building their own homes adjacent to their parents, over the generations.
The most startling and highly dangerous things I saw were live heavy duty electricity cables, surrounded by lighter cables and telephone wires, draped from lamp post to lamp post to lamp post. Some lamp posts were festooned with circuit breakers, and some even with transformers. It is apparently quite common for do-it-yourself connections to the national grid. I learnt that last year not only had part of Hanoi lost power, but there had been a major fire when a car knocked over a lamp post, with the arcing cables rapidly causing ignition. Brown outs as well as complete black outs are common.
There is reasonable ADSL broadband at least in the city areas: most people access it via internet cafes. Mobile broadband has yet to be deployed by the operators, and is expected to start to start to become available next year.
Actually next year, specifically the 10th of October 10/10/2010, is being marked as the 1,000th anniversary of the founding of Hanoi, so it could be a fun time to visit. I visited the Temple of Literature yesterday afternoon, which was the site of one of Asia's (one of the world's ?) oldest universities, founded almost 1,000 years ago, in 1037AD, and operating as a Confuscian institute until its closure 700 years later. Amazingly, the 2,000 or so top graduates over all those 700 years are individually recorded in substantial stelae (stone memorials). It is astonishing to read the names and accolades for the top students from all those hundreds of years ago.
I also visited the water puppet theatre (youtube video here). This was fun – an hour long performance, with live traditional Vietnamese music and singing, of puppets up to a metre long or so, moving on a large pool of water animated by poles controlled by human actors behind a curtain. Smoke and fire breathing dragons, large fish, ducks and cranes, boats, fishermen and women all portrayed a well known Vietnamese story. Do go and see it if you have a chance.
So my first visit, and I hope to go back next year, maybe to the more racy Ho Chi Minh. Vietnam is an emerging tiger economy. It was interesting to see and meet business people and delegations in my hotel from Finland, Poland, Singapore, Malaysia, Tanzania, Korea and Madagascar. It was however very humbling to read the national English-language newspaper this morning with stories and events from around the world, and find that the sole thing about Ireland was that some Irish bank partially owned by the Irish Government wants to pay some Irish bank manager some salary which maybe perhaps raises twitches in some Irish eyebrows, but is incomprehensibly astronomical to ordinary Vietnamese business people, and – as they noted – several times more than the American President who has been meeting the Chinese President this week.
Everyone now wants to do business with Vietnam. The economy is booming, there's a young well-educated technology workforce and a government ambitious for foreign assistance and investment. But Vietnam is still a tiger cub, a chồn con tiger, most symbolised for me by seeing a beautiful young farmer herd her five gleaming buffalo confidently along the inner of the two lanes of the airport motorway, while the cars, taxis and freight vehicles hurried on by in the outer lane for their flight connections.

Leading-edge cancer companies were Mentor Capital's historic focus especially in the field of cancer immunotherapy.
Mentor has some limited continued legacy investments in this area and is pleased that with cannabis it will continue to be involved in the cancer field. This because medical cannabis reduces nausea and increases appetite with cancer patients so they have the strength to continue their treatments. The switch from cancer to cannabis occurred because the government became more involved with health care and then said they were not going to reimburse cancer immunotherapy treatments, collapsing our sector. As a result, Mentor Capital looked for cancer-related investment with profit potential and found that the growing medical marijuana field needed funding. On investigation, Mentor concluded that cannabis acquisitions and major funding actions could not only help save cancer patients' lives, but also was in a sector that was rapidly expanding.
Mentor Capital felt there were significant opportunities to approach the medical marijuana market as a business-focused, high-integrity, public company providing significantly more financing to private cannabis companies.

There sure is not a lot of glamour in becoming a grown-up.
Christmas Days spent lounging around in my pajamas all day long, playing with all my new gifts? Thing of the past. This year, I spent my Christmas afternoon in the driveway trying to wrestle my rusty flat tire off my car. I ruined my "good" gloves and most definitely broke in a new pair of jeans. In the process, I managed to lose my wedding ring, sending my wife and sister-in-law into a fevered hunt through the snow in the backyard. (My wife eventually found it in the bathroom garbage can, where it must have slipped off my finger after washing and wiping my hands.)
Today I spent a healthy portion of my afternoon in the lobby of the auto repair shop, waiting to get my flat tire patched. They informed me it was beyond repair and I needed at least two new tires. I elected to get a full set of four, plus an oil change. There goes our holiday bonus.
Oh, it's not all bad, though. After all, we are hosting my wife's family for the holidays this year. Last night, after my wife successfully and deliciously cooked her first Christmas turkey, I carved my first Christmas turkey. We built a fire in our fireplace for the first time and had a wonderful night with the family. No, growing up isn't bad at all. But the not-so-fun aspects are the perfect sequitur for the Greatest Song of Today: "I Don't Wanna Grow Up" by Tom Waits.

I went on an interwiew yesterday for the Buffalo Wild Wings in Hagerstown, and he seemed to really like me! Hubby said that he overheard them talking and said that the guy had been doing interviews for over an hour, so I know they're needing someone. He did say that they were looking for someone with more open availability, but he also said that he was impressed with my experience and training, and that if I am willing to work with him, then he would more than likely be willing to work with me. I'm going to give them a call over there in a few days to talk to him and see where we are at. I need this job, so please say a little prayer for me! If I don't get it, I am not sure at ALL what I am going to do, and the money runs out this paycheck. After this I am officially down to part time money.
Since I am getting paid this weekend, I am going to get some ingredients to make TWO new dinners this weekend and next week! I am planning on doing Rachael Ray's fried ravioli and maybe a chicken dish of some type. There is a chicken and rice dish in my Campbell's cookbook that I'm interested in, and we will probably go for that. I am also really interested in the recipe that I saw on this weeks episode of 10 Dollar Dinners - it was a shrimp linguine with a garlic butter type sauce and it looked really complicated (like in the way that I will probably use every pot in my kitchen to try to make this thing) but it also looked REALLY yummy and apparently...CHEAP which is TOTALLY my style. So, I told Hubby to watch the episode and if he thinks that he will like it then we'll try it. We just had Olive Garden yesterday (never ending pasta bowl yay) so I don't think he'll be in the mood for pasta for a few days. lol
As soon as my schedule gets a little more settled I am going to start with the workouts again. I am also going to start back with the 8:00 am wake up time tomorrow. I am back to being tired all the time again, and I want to eat breakfast in the mornings!
