life between the pages
In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction."

dialogue across a chasm
I have read the recent article from the ENS regarding the Presiding Bishop, The Most Reverend Katherine Jefferts Schori's visit to the Diocese of South Carolina. It was a gracious and accurate description of much of our time together. Indeed, there was a warm hospitality which we were most intentional in cultivating through our prayers and our hearts. What the article failed to convey, however, is the depth of the theological chasm that lies between many of us in South Carolina (and others within the church for that matter) and the trajectory of so much of the leadership of The Episcopal Church. To explore these cavernous depths is indeed the great work that lies before anyone in leadership today. Along with showing hospitality and witnessing to God's work among us, the earnest exploring of this chasm was and remains one of our chief objectives.
--The Rt. Rev. Mark Lawrence

Love the euphemism, "theological chasm". The patriarchal foundations of the early Christian church have long since been exposed as exclusionary. IS that what Jesus had in mind? Probably not, to judge from his reliance on and devotion to Mary Magdalene. The Church fathers purpetrated a coverup to protect their own chauvinist interests. NO surprise there. It has always been thus.
But now comes the good Bishop who happens to be female and who happens to support gay clergy... and, oh, along comes Hillary (forgive my mixing politics and religion, as if all Churches haven't done that from day one). What are we to do? Oh my.

i'm just disappointed that the generation that produced both of these women seems to think that by acting like men, they'll somehow better the situation of women.
i'll be happy when we get past that point, and look forward to the day when women are accepted just for being themselves.
but that'll probably be a generation that comes after mine, unfortunately.

Santa Monica Lookout
|Santa Monica City Council Reconsiders Public Vote on Development
By Niki Cervantes
December 8, 2016 -- Trying to mend fences after the defeat of a contentious slow-growth measure in November's election, the Santa Monica City Council on Tuesday ordered staff to study giving voters final say on major development proposals or requiring a council super majority for approval.
The council, whose members generally opposed Measure LV as too restrictive, "won the battle" in seeing it solidly rejected by voters, said Council Member Kevin McKeown.
But the only way to "win the war" over development in Santa Monica is to start a "conversation" with those who supported the initiative, he said.
McKeown, who co-authored the motion with colleague Gleam Davis, said the intent is to start considering reforms, now that the bitter campaign has ended.
He said he hoped the motion would help heal some the wounds left by the battle over LV. So did Davis.
"If we're intent on re-establishing trust in the community, now is the time to do it," she said.
Measure LV was a reaction to an anticipated building boom that includes unusually tall and large developments downtown. It sought to give voters -- not the City Council -- the final say on most new projects taller than 32 feet.
The measure pitted the local slow-growth movement, primarily activists and neighborhood associations, against the City's political and civic establishment, which was backed by more than $1 million in funding from developers.
LV was defeated with 55.30 percent of the vote (24,475 votes) cast against the measure, and 44.70 percent (19,786 votes) cast in support ("Backers of Defeated Santa Monica Slow-Growth Measure Blame Development Money, Claim Success," November 10, 2016).
Specifically, the motion by McKeown and Davis directs staff "to explore the procedural steps necessary to establish voter approval requirements for development" exceeding the general plan, zoning code and other regulations.
The council asked staff for the same analysis for requiring a super-majority council vote on such projects and to return with information on any action that might be needed, including new laws or a council-generated ballot measure.
Currently, only a majority vote is needed on development, or four votes from the seven-member council. A super-majority increases the minimum vote needed to five.
LV's creators –- the leaders of the group Residocracy -- have not publicly supported an alternatives to their measure ("Development Combatants in Santa Monica Consider Post-Election Compromise," November 14, 2016).
A sore point is whether any changes would become effective before the adoption of the controversial Downtown Community Plan (DCP) being fought by slow-growth and LV supporters as allowing too much building ("Santa Monica Set to Tackle Downtown Community Plan Again," November 8, 2016).
Much of the proposed 3.8 million square feet of development in City's planning pipeline is downtown and could have been impacted if Measure LV had been successful ("Nearly 3.8 Million Square Feet Await Approval in Santa Monica's Jammed Development Pipeline," November 3, 2016).
A final council vote on the Downtown Plan is anticipated in the spring.
Council Member Pam O'Connor abstained from the vote after expressing doubt that common ground could be found with the LV camp.
O'Connor, who has been accused by critics of being too close to the development community, said a decade of such battling had convinced her no meaningful compromise was to be had.
"I don't think it's going to happen," she said.
Council Member Terry O'Day, also a frequent target of the slow-growth movement, said he agreed with the intent of the motion. But he only voted to support it after it was broadened to include a review of how the City's planning process could be improved.
A few speakers addressed the council, including some from Santa Monica Forward, a group formed last year that includes civic and political leaders that opposed LV.
But compared to the blistering campaign season, the evening's discussion was low key and was pushed into the wee hours by a packed agenda.
McKeown has been considered a staunch ally of the slow-growth movement, but his standing took a hit with his vocal opposition to LV. Mayor Tony Vazquez and Mayor Pro Tem Ted Winterer also have been aligned with the slow-growth movement.
Davis, O'Day, Vazquez and Winterer won re-election easily, backed by the same groups opposing LV and some campaign funding from developers.
Council Member Sue Himmelrich also voted for the McKeown-Davis motion, having previously supported its ideas. She too expressed opposition to LV, although she stayed out of the election fight by not taking a formal position.

The great firm "Microsoft"is again bringing some security-related changes inits Windows 10 with the next Fall Creators Update. These exciting changes will prevent (hide) your important files from harmful online threats such as ransomware. The upcoming update can be launched in the month of September.
A preview of the changes,including a new controlled folder access feature is now available for the Windows 10 testers.Yesterday, Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 16232 for PC that includes some of the new security features coming with the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, has been released. The releasing of Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview Build 15228 is also in the list and is coming soon.
This is especially designed to allow only the specific apps to access or to read/ write to a folder.If enabled, the default list will not allow the apps to access the desktop, movies, pictures and document folders.
Head of Microsoft's Windows Insiders program, Dona Sarkar explains that "Whatever changes are made by the apps to the files within a particular protected folders regularly monitored by the Controlled folder".This feature will send the users a notification message to notify that the app has attempted to make changes to the protected files resulting into the blacklisting of the app. This upcoming feature "Controlled folder"is especially designed for the end-to-end security against the viruses attacks and ransomware affects.
Nowadays, Ransomware is in the headlines; you might be familiar with this word and know very well that it is a type of malicious software that locks the victims outside its system, not allowing them to access and work on their system. To provide that computer's access back to the victim, it demands a ransom in Bi Coins to be paid within specified period of time. It is very much similar to the 'Wanna cry Petra' attacks that took place all over the world in last few days.An exploit protection is also added into the inbuilt Defender software of the Windows 10, which fight against the virus and malware before it harms your device.
Microsoft's chief said that the company's aim is to keep our customers safe from today's increasing threats regarding data security. Thus, the new security features in the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update will provide a safe platform for the good users and a harder one to the bad guys. The firm also declared that concerning the rapid and increasing cyber threats, we realize that they should do something better. Therefore,a unique unit that brings various fields such as science, automation, machine learning, etc. together is developed by the company to block the malware, virus, etc.

Today was awesome because I had a really nice Journalism class. We overturned the couch that we have in the classroom and built this kind of fort thing and then we went on an adventure that involved pretending to to parkour and getting doughnuts from the choir class and it was good. It was the first time in a while that I've really enjoyed just things. Plus also, I got a 91 on that Biology test I thought I was going to bomb and that felt excellent.
So that was pretty much my day today. Plus Tumblr. Always tumblr. I really don't have anything to talk about today. I'm just watching YouTube videos. I'm still trying for that VidCon thing. Did I mention that? I downloaded a bunch of photo editing software that was free because I have few moneys but I'm trying hard to make this stupid design work.
I don't know, I've been thinking a lot. Not about anything in particular, really, just about a wide spectrum of things. And I've realised that all of those things that I really dislike about myself are coming to the surface. Like, I'm rude and can be bossy and I have a temper. I say the stupidest things and I don't know how to take them back and I can't take complements and I can't give complements. I make stupid mistakes and sometimes I think that I'm smarter than other people. I spend a lot of time overthinking everything and it generally screws everything up. I'm arrogant. I'm whiny. I'm sarcastic. I don't know why the people who I'm friends with have stuck around this long. I don't have enough good traits to overpower these stupid ones. But I want so badly to be the person that people who don't know me very well think that I am. And in some capacity, I know that I am that girl, but I don't know how to leave these stupid traits behind and move on. I constantly want to be nicer and quieter and better, but I know that that's not who I am. And I don't hate who I am, I think I just dislike the person who I'm becoming. And I hate that. I want the things I do to mean something. I want my writing to mean something. I don't know.
So that went from lighthearted to self-deprecating pretty quickly, right?
Until tomorrow

Marvel Legends MODOK Series
I like to think of this as the '70's series' it has a nice range of fun characters, I've wanted a Cap Marvel figure for a while (even though I was never a massive fan, just kind of like his look) I never thought we'd get a Beta Ray Bill fig in a million years and Moon Knight just plain rocks!
This is also the series which had some of the coolest variants, alas I didn't manage to pick any up, but Genis Vell looked so amazing as did the Destroyer. It's a real pity that I couldn't track down the Spider Woman variant.
And the fab thing is, all these figures are on sale at Asda (the UK's Wal-Mart) so I picked the whole series up dirt cheap!

By the time this weekend hit I was so exhausted. And my plan was to do nothing all weekend because our go to person (which in reality means our only person) to take care of Bean while we're in the hospital is out of town this weekend. She's coming back tomorrow and I will be SO relieved. I kept trying to think of back up plans in case I went into labor and I couldn't think of one. Which makes me a little sad. My MIL and parents are all within a half hour, but for various reasons aren't options. We have friends, but none of them that Bean knows well enough to be comfortable staying with for that long. And the people we love and wouldn't blink to ask to help us in this kind of situation? They all live about 5 hours away. Thank goodness for my great luck in having a dear friend end up near by just a few years ago. I can't imagine life without her there now.
Anyway, I'm getting off track. My plan was to do nothing this weekend to ensure that I wouldn't go into labor. All the sudden though I just wanted to do all this stuff around the house. Partly because I couldn't do any of it this week since I was never here, but also I know that it's just the end of pregnancy kicking in. We cleaned out all the Christmas stuff, rearranged our family room, cleaned everything we could including the basement, and on and on. I did at least six loads of laundry, started up some sewing projects I've been putting off, and cleaned out the freezer so I can start making food for Bean to have while we're not here. It feels good to have gotten so much done, but I realize that I was probably crazy taking so much on. I'm tired and the week of bouncing around from place to place is stretching out in front of me. I'm just hoping that this is the last week and the bathroom is done come Friday.
I can't believe that I'll be 37 weeks this week! Full term. I've been waiting for that for so long and I'm just so thrilled that we've made it this far. Now we just have to finalize names and get some last minute details in place. Tomorrow is my next OB appointment and I'm anxious to see if anything is happening. I'll try to be better about updating and I am so thankful for all of you that are checking in. We feel very blessed and excited at the start of this year. It's hard to believe that a year ago I had just gotten my shipment of meds and now here we are, almost full term. So very blessed.

Characterisation - First Person Versus Third Person
"So Dickie, (See Richard Ford and Dead Beat Mix It Up) I'm thinking about your characters. Sometimes very detailed, sometimes not so."
"Okay Dead Beat, here's the truth. I reached a point two or three years ago where I realized I wasn't doing enough of what I needed to be doing when it came to describing people. When it came to finding a way for the reader to actually physically envision people. Some of that comes with writing in the third person. Writing in the first person, a character describing herself or himself is a little unpersuasive. In the third person it becomes absolutely essential. I wanted to write in the third person because it's one of the things I feel that I don't do very well. One of the things I did was to set a task to try to make myself do it better. To try to describe people more. How they looked, what they wore, what their faces were like. I'm always reading my colleagues...Ian McKewen, for instance, He'll spend a whole paragraph doing something that I would have thought heretofore I would have got away with not doing at all. Or maybe half or a third as much. I decided I would do it more because maybe I could do it better. It might make the characters more vivid. Maybe it was just an opportunity to write, that I could seize."
So Dead Beaters think about this, first person versus third in characterisation - point of view always has advantages and disadvantages - it's a question of balance, weighing it up.

The Sensational Appeal of Flash Mobs
7 comments:
- Thrasymachus said...
Flash-mobbing is strange! I think an equally important catalyst to note, as to why these people get together so randomly and, seemingly, without purpose, is simple boredom! These people probably surf the blogs just looking for something to do. With an excuse to get out and do something relatively harmless, they do get out.
More important to me than the actual act of 'flash-mobbing' is the organizational framework provided by internet culture. Although, as you said, sit-ins during the civil rights movement did occur and were brilliantly effective, the organization time and effort involved must have been many-fold more intensive that what is necessary today. Just look at Facebook, and how quickly an event can explode.

I agree Jacob, Flash-mobbing is strange! When started reading the article by Nicholson, I was totally confused at what was going on. Then once I caught on a little more, I realized that Flash-mobbing is harmless.
There are no leaders and messages channel through a bunch of people like chain mail. I think people are attracted to be apart of this because it makes them feel apart of something bigger than them. It gives them a sense of belonging and their strange meetings might provide them with a certain spontaneity they might not experience in their regular lives.
I say they are harmless because they don't involve violence. These crazy meetings around rugs at department stores are used as entertainment for those who have too much time on their hands.

I really like how Jacob compared this "flash-mobbing" phenomenon to the Facebook phenomenon. I must admit, that I too, was confused when I began reading Nicholson. (on a side note, I feel as though he could have done a better job introducing the idea of "flash-mobbing," but strictly mu opinion) I just don't quite understand the effect or purpose of these flash mobs. I see that they are entirely harmless and last for only minutes at a time, but it seems to be a pointless gathering of people demonstrating a point they do not have. Or perhaps their point is that they have nothing better to do than demonstrate a non-existent belief.
Maybe I just am completely out of the loop in this entire flash mob purpose and if anyone wants to clear it up, please do. I'd love to be educated on this modern technological demonstration sensation. But as Jacob said, it simply reminds me of a party event I receive on Facebook.
On a positive, more educational note, I do see the impact of technology on society. It is amazing that in the matter of one minute, a countless number of people can receive the same message in the palm of their hand and they can be hundreds of miles away. It truly is an incredible idea that we so often take for granted. It is also important to be reminded of the safety this technology can provide us. The tragedy at Virginia Tech illustrated the importance of "mass text messaging" as a means to alert students of potential danger. Technology truly is a blessing, that indeed comes with a valid and accessible danger.

A agree with all of you about the sensational impact of flash-mobbing. I was confused with this article, I kept waiting to understand the point of the mob, i.e. a protest, a gathering, something other than talking about a ten thousand dollar rug in Macy's.
I think this article demonstrates both the technological power that we have, and basically what in general we use it for: sensation. Just imagine the impact these chain mail texts, blogs, emails, etc would have if they were for a real purpose to gather people for a point.
Although it is a good point that people do want to feel as if they are a part of something and that is the appeal of flash-mobbing, I do hope that wanting to be a part of something bigger can extend beyond crazy short-lived gatherings to utilize this technological power for social change.

- kaylamksilva said...
The idea of flash-mobbing just reminded me of a big practical joke. Only they have so much more appeal because they are done with tons of people and are usually done with people you don't even know, which can allow for a different and unique SENSATION. By the way, this word describes the reason these "gatherings" are popular brilliantly. I agree with Libby and really hope that the occurrence and popularity of these flash-mobs can really be put to use because honestly, what are we creating all of this technology for if it's not used for the betterment of society and our world? Is everything we do merely for entertainment?

As is flash mobs do seem rather pointless, get a text and go somewhere for a few minutes and you just happen to run into everyone else who has a cell phone too...great. But it is a newer phenomenon, one that has not yet had ample time to grow and morph into something useful. With time the utility of most actions, and activities grow otherwise they fade away and die. Like with facebook, if facebook had stayed the way that it was when it was first formed (designed for only one school) it would have been useless, but now it is available to everyone (which may or may not be good) and has so many applications as social networking tools, ways to keep in contact with friends, etc. It grew from a mostly useless program to one that is actually quite useful. Thus, flash mobs in their current state may be useless, but just give them time (if they are ever popular again).

SPA Refresher
I have been joined for the day by Gavin who is preparing for his SPA Assessment and wanted a day refreshing his skills. The BBC forecast showed a weather window on Anglesey so we headed for the sun and spent the day looking at the various elements of the syllabus that Gav will be assessed on. Unfortunately it rained all day and so we got soaked but if you can do it in that weather you can do it in any weather!

We had so much fun at the beach with Big and Big Mama (as Lucas refers to her now). Hilton Head is sooo different than the beach vacations I grew up with... different, but wonderful... and the island is just beautiful.
I have never seen Lucas so happy. He loved the beach life. His schedule was completely thrown out the window, and he didn't seem phased one bit! His favorite thing to do was go to the pool. Within 30 minutes of waking each day, he was pulling someone saying "Side, side... Pool!!! Island Links is soo child friendly... splashy fountains to run through (he literally played for hours in that alone), fun waterfall type fountains in the pool, zero entry area for splashing and playing.... he was one busy boy!
His other most favorite thing was the SAND at the beach! He LOVED squishing his toes and fingers in it. Thanks to Nana.. or excuse me... Big Mama, we had lots of sand toys to play with.... although, Lucas would instantly destroy anything that even resembled a sand castle. We joked that he should go in to demolition as a profession as an adult, but I nixed the idea... sounds dangerous! lol
On Monday, Lucas and Mommy got some one on one bonding time. His Daddy, Big and Big Mama all went out deep sea fishing. They had so much fun! 2 flounder, 1 grouper, and even a few sharks. After a looong hard struggle, David managed to reel in a massive 10 foot, 400 lb. tiger shark!.. Glad they didn't bring that one home!!!!
Another highlight of the trip was the fireworks at Shelter Cove. Tuesday night, we found a little park area that had concessions, inflatables, and a stage area playing oldie favs... the kiddos were welcome to climb up or stand in front and dance.. Lucas danced with all of us! When it was time for the fireworks, we found a good spot.. kicked off our flipflops and watched in amazement... such a beautiful display. Lucas was mesmerized. Such a sweet memory.
The week just couldn't have been any better!!

1. The foundation of this Rule is the allegation that the petitioner had no notice of the proceedings under Section 488, Criminal P.C. that were held in the Court of the Magistrate who made the final order in 1927. As regards this matter it appears to us that the allegations which the petitioner has made in his application for revision to this Court are not correct We are satisfied upon a perusal of the two reports of the serving peon as well as on his evidence that was given in those proceedings that the notices in connexion therewith were personally served upon the petitioner. If this fact has. been established as in our opinion it has been, then the only question is whether the Magistrate had jurisdiction to deal with those proceedings under the provisions of Sub-section 8 of Section 488, Criminal P.C. That Sub-section says that,
proceedings under this section may be taken against any parson in any district where he resides or is, or where he last resided with his wife
etc. The proceedings undoubtedly were taken in the District of 24 Parganas. The petitioner at that time admittedly was residing in Calcutta. But it is alleged on behalf of the opposite party that it was within the 24 Parganas that the petitioner had last resided with his wife. The allegation, however, is denied on behalf of the petitioner. It is not necessary for us to come to a definite finding on this question, because even if it be as sumed that it has not been established that the petitioner had last resided prior to those proceedings with his wife within the jurisdiction of 24-Parganas, the final order which the Magistrate has made under Section 488, Criminal P.C., would not be vitiated simply for that reason. In our opinion Section 531, Criminal P.C., should apply to the case and the order which the learned; Magistrate passed under Section 488, Criminal P.C., would not be vitiated; merely because the proceedings were held in a wrong District. It has been urged on behalf of the petitioner that Section 530(n), Criminal P.C., would apply to the case and, therefore, the proceedings should be held to be void. We are unable to agree in this contention, because the Magistrate who dealt with these proceedings undoubtedly was empowered by law to deal with the application for maintenance under Section 488, Criminal P.C.
2. In this view of the matter we are of opinion that there is no substance in this Rule and that it should be discharged.

Anyone available for support? I've emailed you guys several times
Hi, in this saturday.
Ok thanks please get back to me!
Guys, I was told you would get back to me by the weekend, it's been 4 weeks since I paid for the added functionality to my app, now my support is expired and I still have no answer as to where we are with my project. I emailed you guys yesterday and got no response.
Support please check your email guys and get back to me. Thank you
Hey, tomorrow I will do the sending of files for you.
Ok great, I have my developer account information ready for both google play and AppStore so all I need your help with is to prepare the app for submission, I will do the screenshots and app icon and etc from iTunes connect and the google play store. But I'm unfamiliar with cocoonIO so I don't know how to deploy the game on that platform to being able to submit to the app stores
See your email!
Yes I'm waiting still, thanks
Hello, today I have twice sent you a new version of the game, but I have come reports that the recipient is not delivered may need another email address.
The email is email@example.com please resend, thanks
I've sent several emails please get back to me so we can be done with this project already, CHECK YOUR EMAIL GUYS!
Hey guys, does the zip file of my project you sent include the Xcode project so I can upload my game to iTunes connect? Thanks for your help
A letter has been sent to you.
Hello, I received the zip folder with my project but how do I open the "js" files in Xcode? The capx file can only be used in CoCooon IO and all I'm looking to do at this point is get my apps uploaded to iTunes connect and google play. Please advise, thanks.
Hello, you did not pay me for this work, so you can not have it. You paid only for adding a new code to select the body of the girl and creating additional body shades, and I made for you a new game logo for free. It's all!
I'm not going back and forth because at this point I don't know what I paid you for, I asked how do I get the Xcode file using CoCoon? Am I opening the capx file or what?
You did not pay anything for this job, anything you initially asked me to do and sent you more than two months ago and several times!
That's all, have a conscience!
Hey guys, the file you sent me is not compiling with cocoon io, can you email me please so that I have the correct zip project. email@example.com
I am trying to read the documentation to the game and all of the links are leading me to pages with 404 error. Is there an updated link to where I can learn how to compile the dress up game? Thanks for your help in advance.
): After clicking on the screen of the phone the game stop ??
Hi, I already answered your messages in the mail, we can continue the discussion by mail.
Can you convert Flash games to html5
Hi, I do not do this kind of activity, but among the developers I heard that it is possible, look for specialists in flash games, I only do HTML5 games.
Guys, I purchased this game months ago and all of the links in the documeation take me to pages with 404 errors. All I'm trying to do is upload the game to iTunes connect but I can't access the documentation to know how to do so
Hi, there is no such thing in our documentation. The documents describe only the game count and its mechanics. Once we restore our server you will have access to the links.
So one purchasing this game with it clearly saying "iOS" in the description, how would one submit to iTunes without having a Construct 2 license? I'm more confused now than when purchasing the project and not knowing how difficult it would be and I'm getting emails about "confidential information"? When I paid for the revisions I had done none of this confidentiality was mentioned, I'm very confused and now I learn your servers are down but I bought the project 5 months ago and never had access to the documentation so it's safe to say you guys have been selling a project users have no access to the documentation that shows setup and even your documentation from what you're saying doesn't show how to get the app working on Xcode so what exactly does the documentation teach one? Just want to get my project working on Xcode and I'm being confused by either not hearing back from you guys or there's a disconnect in dialogue and I'm not being understood. First it was send $50 and I will make revisions. I did that. Then I got my game back with a zip folder containing no Xcode project and was told I didn't pay for that. So I asked what I paid for and I was told to make the revisions to the game title and etc which I could've done on my own if the game had an Xcode project to open the file in Xcode for iOS. It seems one was assuming everyone purchasing was a pro and wouldn't require any help when you're selling a project with documentation that's not even accessible.
We do not do the conversion for IOS and Android, you have to do it yourself, we dont make instructions how to convert the game into an android or an iPhone, since it has nothing to do with the game code at all.
I understand that now that you don't know how to do it that would've been easier to say than to have one to think that you could do it. If it doesn't have anything to do with code, how is one supposed to upload the capx file to iTunes connect? You guys are responding but not answering my question. I purchased the game with the intent to be able to upload the game to iTunes connect and google play, but you're saying you don't know how to do so? So one purchase this game from you and does what exactly with the project since it can't be uploaded and you don't know how??

I am so damn confused!
Battles, New York's latest export have been bothering me for some time now. But is is because it's good? Or more thought-provokingly, because it's utter rubbish?
Thankfully, it can't be genre pigeonholed, something McNicholas over in NME-Towers will be hopping-mad about. It's too electro for indie, too indie for electro and is well produced to be lo-fi. it's a mystery. Recent single "Atlas" is the perfect example of this. It opens like something between Kasabian and Led Zeppelin before going off in a million different aural directions. I think I like it, I should do, I like similar stuff. The trouble is that for every awesome bit of tune there's an equally dreadful bit. In total I don't think there's a flawless track, but in spite of that, it all fits so nicely together. God! Is that good, I mean, I would ordinarily say "no, what use is it if they can't even write one full track that's good", but I'm still being roped in on it. I wouldn't care if they were all bad or all good or even if they were a bit "meh" but they're not, I can tell it's either gash or awesome but just can't fathom out which one they are.
Someone, HELP!

Jarvis is Melting!
The newly renovated Southbank Centre or the Royal Festival Hall as it used to be known (how pointlessly anti-monarchy can they be???) is gearing itself up for the Jarvis Cocker-curated Meltdown Festival which kicks off tomorrow. As well as some backside-kicking shows from the likes of Devo, Cornershop and the Jesus & Mary Chain, the former Pulp man on demi-god of Britpop will be performing twice himself; Once supported by the excellent (if not slightly over-egged 1990s) and for a second time playing Disney classics as part of Hil Wilner's Forest of No Return show. This will also the likes of Beth Orton, Nick Cave and the East End's dealer's favourite user, Mr Pete Doherty. The fact the ex Libertine is not the most controversial figure performing is a testament to the line up which also features borderline alcoholic Shane MacGowan and recently outed Nazi (although he says otherwise), Bryan Ferry . Still, I suppose it's fitting considering Hitler bankrolled Disney during the war....allegedly.
Still, whatever awaits the sell-out crowd, I'm sure Jarv will turn it around, after all, this won't be his first cover...

The Rivoli Review
Knackered, beaten and dehydrated. I returned home from a rousing White Stripes gig in Brockley, South East London last night which has rendered me useless today.
The venue, as you will see was the most amazing 1950s Ballroom complete with chandeliers, Chinese lanterns and rich, red velvet drapes. The venue screamed "White Stripes" from the moment we walked in.
So in the sweltering heat (so hot, the print on my t-shirt started to become sticky) Jack and Meg too to the stage to play a blistering, breathless set compiled of classics ("Joleen", "Hotel Yorba" and closing number; "Seven Nation Army" receiving rapturous ovations) and material from the forthcoming album of which "Icky Thump" and highly-likely 2nd single "Effect and Cause" getting the biggest cheers. This was The White Stripes stripped back to a raw and emotive stage most thought they'd turned their back on. There were no elaborate staging, no fancy interpretations of the red/white/black dress code, no fashionable facial furniture. This was clearly a chance for all concerned to relive the early days of the 100 Club and to that effect, most notably the temperature, they succeeded.
So, off they march towards Wireless, no heating problems there, it's supposed to be chucking it down tomorrow. Ha ha!
Ps: The photos are action shots, they are not blurry....believe that and you'll believe anything.

White Stripes head South
Mighty duo The White Stripes play the tiny Rivoli Theatre in glorious (yet unfancied) South East London tomorrow night.
The gig will be in support of their new single and album Icky Thump. 3 days later they will be performing to a slightly larger audience in Hyde Park as park of the celebs/VIP festival of choice; Wireless.
I, luckily was one of the hundred or so early bird who secured Rivoli Theatre tickets, pictures will be uploaded in the next few days or so. For now, get icky people:

Watching the two videos of Governor Palin's interview with Katie Couric was troubling: there is no doubt this boob isn't ready for the Vice-Presidency (I wonder if she's even ready to be Governor), but what is irksome and exasperating, let alone scary, is that people are buying her schtick. All she can do is recite talking points.
Couric asked her for examples of McCain leadership, and all Palin could muster was "I'll try to find you some and I'll bring 'em a to ya." Yup, she said "ya" in a folksy sorta way. Hell, when she tried to characterize how she'd been dealt with after saying that being able to see Russia from Alaska amounted credible foreign policy experience, she couldn't think of the word "mocked" -- which Couric offered as an escape. Granted that Governor Palin was nervous; but, how that do in negotiations with, say, Putin, whom she characterized as "rearing his head and coming into the air-space of the United States of America."
Say what?
Oh, spy planes are sent to Russia from Alaska, too. That also qualifies to be VP.
I must say I have a new-found respect for Ms. Couric; she proved her worth as a journalist.

I ran across some notes about using i2c with the pi. For my version, debian_version 7.0, Wheezy this page describes how to enable the access to the controller and install a simple program to access the ic chip
BC2708 it would appear.
This example is for a board which adapts arduino shields to the Pi, so you will get nowhere if not using a board with the chip attached.
1. Install i2c-tools on your Pi:
sudo apt-get install python-smbus
sudo apt-get install i2c-tools
sudo apt-get install i2c-tools
2. If you have Raspbian, check /etc/modprobe.d/raspi-blacklist.conf and comment "blacklist i2c-bcm2708" by running sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/raspi-blacklist.conf and adding a # (if its not there).
If you're running Wheezy you will need to
add the following lines to /etc/modules file
3. Run i2cdetect (You need to specify the i2c bus where the ADC is attached, there are different for Rev1 and Rev2). THE BRIDGE MUST BE ATTACHED TO YOUR RASPBERRY PI.
# For Raspberry Pi rev2
sudo i2cdetect -y 1
#For Raspberry Pi rev1
sudo i2cdetect -y 2
sudo i2cdetect -y 1
#For Raspberry Pi rev1
sudo i2cdetect -y 2

We have been getting our lighting and audio/visual stuff done for the last week or two and I will be VERY happy when that is finished! At the moment, it is driving me to the drink.
I'm getting frustrated with Carlisle now. I rang a week ago about the spa not working. We tried it again on the weekend, just in case it was working, and no bubbles! I emailed them early this week and have heard nothing. I just hope we don't have to wait until the end of our warranty period to get it fixed. That's not on! The gas cooker is playing up too. 3/4 of the time it lights fine, but the rest of the time I can't get any of the burners to light. I have to leave it for 5 mins and then when I try again it usually works. The plumber called me about this, I explained the problem, and haven't heard anything since.
Yesterday, when I had my shower I had the mixer turned completely to hot and my shower was just warm... not happy!
The guy doing our lights reckons the electrician who did the house did a lousy job. According to him it was done on the cheap and probably by apprentices.... Not really what I want to hear, and I just hope it's his extremely high standard of work that he is comparing it to... ha ha.... Even the people employed by Carlisle have told me that aspects of the job aren't done as well as they should be... GREAT!
Apparently they are coming to fix the bifolds today (they were put on around the wrong way). That will be great, it's been a pain having them around the wrong way.
Yes, I am annoyed... Yes, I am frustrated... Yes, I still love the house, it's great. I just want to get things fixed and working properly.

Late Saturday afternoon my next door neighbor came over to say that a hawk was in their garage.
By the time I walked through the woods with Dorothy, her husband Steve said that it had flown out and up into a nearby Cedar tree.
While doing so, it had heard a bird outside of the garage and kept hitting at the inside window of the garage.
It was a beautiful young Cooper's Hawk, and the bird was keeping the lower protective lid over both eyes up, but mainly on the left side.
A few weeks ago, Dorothy had let me know that one afternoon, when her husband had arrived home from work, a hawk had hit the bedroom window and when he looked out, the bird's head was spinning round and round and then finally slowed down and the hawk was able to fly away.
I am so thinking that this has to be the very same young Cooper's Hawk.
I checked on it Sunday morning early, and it had flown away and so that was a good thing...
I hope~
Fun with images of our youngest daughter Ashleigh, who arrived home week before last, after being away for over 7 months.
She lives and works out of Los Angeles, California.
Her business partner had shipped her new headphones and she was extra, super excited about them and so I took some fun images of her and edited the same way, that I thought she was feeling...
Happy colours;')~
She gets to spend the holidays with us, and for that we are very excited...the whole family together for the first time in a long time!

Many thanks to readers for commenting and emailing about last week's post "One Stunning Room, Two Different Layouts (Maybe)". You helped me identify the original source as Chicago Home and Garden Magazine, featuring the suburban Wheaton home of Kay Eck.
As you helped me realize, the shots above and below are of adjacent walls in the same room, with the same layout.
I love the dark and rich paint colors used in the den and library - so cozy and warm!
The light and airy open layout of the kitchen, dining, and living room stands in stark contrast to the intimacy of the den and library.
The Ecks did a fabulous job of bringing their eclectic and contemporary sensibility to this historic neighborhood, don't you think?
Have a great day!

Giving it up
Here's to happier blogging going forward!

Oh Becky, I am so sorry!!
I understand how you feel. My block in the last RR went through 4 ladies then was gone. Finally about 6 months after the swap, my block came home. Not finished, but at least returned. I hope yours shows up.
Don`t give up, just do CQ blocks for you and yours. That is what I have done.
- April 4, 2010 at 2:25 PM
- Holee said...
Becky, I got some flak from some of the ladies because they didn't like my attitude of being so demanding with my swaps and posting the swappers names who were a no show, late show, or just plain cheap!
I really don't care about their opinions. It's just plain rude to be a bad swapper! I bet the theif is on my black list. They do this and wait for months..then they return like nothing happened and are welcomed back with open arms. I just don't get it!
I feel really bad that this happened to you, you are just so sweet...
- April 23, 2010 at 7:11 PM

DON'T give it up! I was talking with Tammy & WE are going to do a round robin, just us friends. We'll call it THE FRIENDS Block RR! Of course, you'll have to wait until I get grounded in Texas!
I sure hope you and Donna can come and visit me sometime! Maybe next spring when she is settled and I am settled in.
I'm already thinking about this block & I have my idea...maybe..lol

Becky, I am so sorry about your block. I am still hoping that she will return the block. ( but will not swap with her again ) I am very careful about which swaps i sign up for and if there is one whom I've had problems within the past, I will not swap with them again. ( that is why I haven't signed up for a lot of the swaps lately, for this exact reason, but also if I know I won't have the time to commit to the swap, I will not sign up) Hang in there and big hugs to you.

Building Booths for God
First, the booths: these are small huts made of tree branches, the same shelters the Israelites used during the 40-year journey through the wilderness after the Exodus. They also utilized these booths in their encampment around Mt. Sinai, while Moses received the Law from God. Orthodox Jews construct these booths today when they celebrate the "Feast of Booths," a seven-day commemoration of God's protection of His people while they journeyed those 40 years.
I consulted several Scripture commentaries and the perception seems to be that Peter wanted to construct booths for Elijah, Moses, and Jesus so that he could prolong the glorious event that he was witnessing. That is certainly understandable. The Catholic Commentary on Holy Scripture (©1953), however, gives us another reason: Peter may have assumed that Moses and Elijah had come to stay and to herald Jesus in his glory.
This makes sense. After all, according to vs. 11, they believed that Elijah would return to pave the way for the Messiah. They also believed, according to Deut 18:15, that God would raise up a prophet like Moses to lead His people, and they would "listen to him." And now here they are, Elijah and Moses, conversing with Jesus before their very eyes! And what does the voice from the cloud say? "This is my beloved Son, listen to him." This may have made Peter realize that he was witnessing the fulfillment of what the Jews had been anticipating. Moses and Elijah have come to tell the entire world that Jesus is the Messiah, the prophet like Moses! In Peter's mind, if Elijah and Moses have come to stay then they need shelter, so he desired to make them each a booth. Of course, in his excitement he has forgotten that glorified bodies have no need for shelter!
Ultimately, I think the booths (as well as the setting and the cloud and pretty much everything else in the scene) serve to connect the Transfiguration with God's revelation to Moses on Mt. Sinai. Both take place on the seventh day, both occur on a mountain, both Jesus and Moses take three companions with them, both of their faces shine with God's glory, both involve the cloud of God's presence, and both events involve God speaking through a heavenly voice. These parallels solidify Jesus as the "new Moses," and the fulfillment of the Law that Moses received. Like Moses, Jesus stands as the mediator between God and His people. Like Moses, Jesus frees us from slavery and bondage. Like Moses, Jesus feeds us with bread from heaven. Praise be to God!
Pax Christi,

You'll be interested to note that on the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles Jews pray special prayers that help to put the Transfiguration in context.
The Hoshanos prayers are recited each of the 7 days of the Feast. Jews pray: Open the gates of heaven and Your goodly treasure trove may You open for us. Save us, do not let accusations be drawn out, and save us, God of our salvation. The strength of your salvation comes, a voice- my Beloved, behold He comes. ...To stand upon the Mount of Olives...beneath Him the mountain shall be split...a heavenly voice is heard on earth...born like a child from His mother's womb...She delivered and gave birth: Who is this? Who has heard the likes of this? The Pure One has done all these; and who has seen the likes of these?... Turn to Me and you shall be saved this very day- if you will but heed My voice...A voice, a man has sprouted, Tzemach is his name, He is David himself... From The Complete Artscroll Sidur Sefard, Brooklyn, 1985. Pgs 799-801.
One can imagine that if Peter, James and John had just recited these Festal prayers and saw Jesus as they did and heard the Father's voice saying that Jesus was The Beloved and commanding that they listen they would fall on their faces! And so should we.

Merry Christmas Wendy!! I miss you all during this time. Thanks so much for the pictures. I can't wait until March. You sign up first. And all will follow. I think Mom needs March more than anyone.
Oh Wendy, I love the picture of your kids...that looks like a great scrapbook page in the making! I am glad Jackie was home to have Christmas with the family...I am sure the only thing that could have made that picture more perfect would have been if Judi was in it. You have such a beautiful family!

Stephanie, thank you for sharing sweet memories of your Mike. Your words brought awareness of some of the hard to pinpoint just what all I miss about John. Mike does have quite the twinkly eyes, and I love his jaunty VanDyke mustache/beard!! Yes, there are so many little details and nuances that are missing when your partner is gone. Their essence.

You brought tears to my eyes when I read this as I so know what you are feeling. I miss my Perry very much and memories flood through me at times with such intensity that I feel he is here, but I know he is gone. Thank you for sharing you thoughts. They mean a lot.ReplyDelete

We planned for it for some time... that is for sure. However, the sudden excess temperature in Bangalore was perhaps giving us a bigger push..."Go go... get to some hill station". 1st May was near. So, get set go to Madikeri, Coorg.
The trip in short:
Start Date: 28th April, 2012 Return Date: 30th April, 2012
Places visited:
Tibetan Monastery (Golden Temple)
Kaveri Nishargadham
Dubare Elephant Camp
Abbey Falls
Raja's Seat
Raja's Tomb
Madikeri Museum
Omkareshwar Temple
Bonus: Mysore Zoo (on our way back)
Travellers : Me and my husband
Transport: Our good old Sparky (Chevy Spark)
Stay: Hotel RajDarshan (just next to Raja's seat)
Day 1:
This time it was an extended weekend of three days and we decided to set for a much awaited trip to Coorg.We got up at 5 am on Saturday (OMG!) ,which on normal weekdays is like a big NO NO... to us.
So we started at 6 am to avoid Blore traffic, got our tank filled(yes,of our car's of course ;) ),and hit Mysore Road......my hubby was the driver and me the navigator.Our GPS was a bunch of papers with maps on them that we googled for a couple of days.
Here are the maps.......
Mysore Road is clean and smooth till Mysore though you may find some minor jam at Bidadi and Ramanagara(Silk City).We drove at a leisurely speed of 60 to 80Km/hr though most cars zoomed past us.
After Srirangapatna and just before Mysore there is a big signal at Columbia Asia Hospital.We took a right from here to get on the Ring Road...just to avoid the city traffic..........but pheww it wasn't a very good plan as the roads were under construction till Hunsur Road.
From Hunsur Road to Kushal Nagar the road is very scenic with blossomed gulmohar trees on both sides of the road.The number of good restaurants in this stretch(around 120 kms) is pretty scarce.
Enroute to Kushal Nagar is Bylakuppe where we stopped(around 11:30 am) to see the beautiful Buddhist Monastery. Include this in your must see list and don't miss tasting the Tibetan food there.
There are souvenir shops around. So you can buy things like wind chimes, laughing Buddha, hanging masks, crockery with engraves of dragon etc. So happy shopping.
Here are some snaps from the place:
Spot 2: Kaveri Nishargadham
We left Golden temple at around 2:30 pm. for Kaveri Nishargadham which is around 8 kms from there. For both these destinations, keep your eyes to the left of the road, as the banners will direct you to the by-lanes to these places.
It started raining as we reached Nishargadham. Entry fee is Rs.10/person and Rs.10 for parking. The entrance is a hanging bridge which leads you to the actual park. The bridge swings a little and some people seem to enjoy it very much... so very much that they jump on the bridge to make it swing harder. This is how it looks:
So what is inside the park?
A deer enclosure, by which you will find a cucumber/mango shop... not for you. You buy it and feed the animals. Fantastic. Have a look.
There are few tree house like watch towers. Although we didn't give it a try because the stairs were made of round woods and it was drizzling. But you can give it a try :) .
And there is river Kaveri. Many people take a quick dip there. But again, we didn't.
Then we headed for Madikeri.
We didn't book any hotel from B'lore, although we did good research on the options available. We even locked on KSTDC hotel(Mayura valley view) mostly because of its proximity to Raja's seat. And on reaching the hotel, we found that the view from here was spectacular indeed. However, there were no rooms available, not just in KSTDC, but in many other hotels we called up. However, Lady Luck was on our side and we found Hotel Rajdarshan, a fine hotel just 100 mtrs from Raja's seat. They have their car parking and decent double room at Rs 1250/day. They had power back-up and hot water supply. And their restaurant is pretty okay.
Spot 3: Raja's Seat
Raja's seat was very close to our hotel so we decided to see the sunset there just after checking in the hotel.According to legends the Raja used to see the sunset from here.It is a protected monument.The entry fee is Rs 5 per person.There is a small light n sound show everyday from 6:45 to 7 pm.
You do get a lot of fresh air though its nothing more than a common park.
There is also a toy train ride and you can book the tickets on spot.
Back to hotel and had dinner at the hotel restaurant. And that was all for the day.
Day 2:
It was cloudy till 7-7:30 am in the morning. So we got out for the day at around 8:30 am.
Before that, we planned for the day over a couple of cups of tea. Google map is always handy while you are on the move. We planned to visit only Dubare Elephant Camp, Abbey Falls, Raja's Tomb, Madikeri Museum and Omkareshwar Temple. There are of course other places like Tala Kaveri and Somwarpet etc. But we didn't go for these simply for the reason that they are around 40-60 kms from Madikeri and we thought that it would be really hectic. After all, it was supposed to be a let-go-off-the-stress weekend trip. So...
Spot 1: Dubare Elephant Camp
You can get to Madikeri either by SH 88 or SH89. We went through the latter just by chance.......but it was a bonus for us.It is a long stretch of curvy road through the scenic coffee plantations on both sides,though it is narrower than SH 88.However the 2km stretch before the Dubare camp is terrible (88/89 wont make any difference).
Once there you have two options to reach the elephant camp.You can either raft across the water body or simply take a boat(both can be shared).We took a boat and it costs 20 bucks per person.
In the camp you can see elephant bathing,taking instructions or can enjoy a elephant ride.However for any of these you need to be present there in specific time slots....by the way,everything costs :)
Here are some more snaps
Spot 2: Abbey Falls
We drove back to Madikeri(around 28 kms) and went straight for Abbey Falls which is another 8 Kms.The road is narrow with one hair pin curve which is very much manageable.
After car parking we walked a little down to see the actual falls......much before you see it you hear it.
Its a spectacular falls worth spending some time.There is also a hanging bridge from where one can see a straight view of the falls.We felt that in monsoon the beauty of the falls will be much more.
Now here's the video of the falls..
Spot 3: Raja's Tomb
We spent like 1.5 hours at Abbey falls and then headed back. Raja's Tomb is on the way back. The place comprises of three tombs, One for the King, One for the Queen and the last one for the High Priest. This place seemed a little less crowded than the rest. The interesting thing about this place is the architecture used for these monuments. It appeared to be a mix of different cultures and religions, much like that of Omkareshwar Temple.
You can also enjoy a nice panoramic view of the city from this place. Here are some of the snaps from Raja's Tomb.
Spot 4: Madikeri Museum
The museum is in the city and very close to Madikeri Police station.Inside is a church which houses artifacts mostly of the 16th century.Photography is prohibited inside the museum.
Interestingly whenever we found a high rising wall,or a cliff some people would be there to show that they are more physically and mentally fit than the rest of us.Here's one chap........again highly not recommended.
Spot 5: Omkareshwar Temple
So after spending some time at the Museum we drove straight for Omkareshwar Temple, the last destination of the day and thus of our trip. Omkareshwar Temple is pretty near to Madikeri. From our hotel(near Raja's seat), it is a 5-10 minutes walk to this temple.
This temple stunningly resembles the similar work of art as that found at Raja's Tomb. It is also believed to have architectural inputs from different cultures. Here is a snap:
Marketing and dining in Madikeri
The next thing that was in our mind was to do some local shopping and of course tasting some Kodava cuisine.We brought big cardamon,tea leaves,tamarind toffee and coorg honey.The price of these things are much less in Coorg when compared to Blore.
For tasting Kodava cuisine,we went to a restaurant named "Coorg Cuisine " on the recommendation of the shopkeeper.We decided to taste a 1) typical kodava mutton dish made with a lot of coconut and 2) bamboo shoot fry with rice balls.Mutton dish was okay but the bamboo shoot fry was pathetic.We felt that Kodava cuisine is good but the restaurant could not deliver it properly.
You can check "Crystal Court" which was also highly recommended by the shopkeeper.We could not taste the food there because by the time we reached that restaurant their al-a-carte
serving was over :(
Day 3:
We left for Blore around 9:00 am and decided to have a quick visit to Mysore zoo(specially for the green anacondas). Ticket Rs.40/person + Rs.20/still camera.
So here's the final checklist
- Don't drive too fast on Mysore road.
- On the day of your return, try to get out a little early to avoid Bangalore traffic.
- Summer or Monsoon, take an umbrella with you.
- Do better research on authentic Kodava restaurant.
- Book hotels well in advance during peak seasons.
- Very few restaurants from Mysore to Kushalnagar.
So, what are you waiting for... pack your bags and get-set-go.

Finding a Commentary
Several people the past few days have asked me about finding good commentaries. So instead of making a long list, I've been recommending these two books which give a great summary and review of various commentaries for both the New and Old Testament.
For the New Testament
For the New Testament, D.A. Carson has recently revised his excellent New Testament Commentary Survey. This will give you some of the top evangelical commentaries to choose from for each book of the New Testament. A helpful tool for teachers, pastors and leaders. For my Australian friends, you can find the Koorong link here. Koorong is having a 15% off sale this weekend so it might be a good time to buy it. And for my US/Canada buddies, I've provided a link from Christianbook.com here.
For the Old Testament
Tremper Longman III has done the survey of commentaries for the Old Testament in this series with Carson. The Koorong link is here and the Christianbook.com link is here. It's a helpful book for those who want to find the best resource for in depth studies on individual books of the Bible.
Please Pray for Me
And please pray for me concerning this weekend's sermon. I feel led to share my testimony and preach purely on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. After getting a chance to talk to more people at Wesley, I feel it's time to share the foundation of our faith this weekend.
Pray that those who don't know Christ yet will experience and understand the eternal life-changing message of the Cross. And pray that God would anoint me and use me to proclaim His message clearly and with conviction. Thank you always for each prayer that is lifted up. God will remember and reward you for them =)

The Jihadists "Extrapolate" Islamic teachings
'Now those calling themselves "Jihadi Muslims" in Iraq, and some other places, are killing many innocent lives (without guilt according to the Qur'an), and they are killing other Muslims (Shiites) calling them apostate and giving themselves the authority to punish them and their relatives by death! More than that, these Jihadis, who are called terrorists by others, are killing themselves and therefore placing themselves face to face against the rules of the Qur'an which, as we have seen, prohibits the killing of self in very strong terms. How can they justify all these acts of murder?
One must look at the broader scene to see how these young people, motivated by fanatic scholars, have come to interpret the rulings of self-defense in the Qur'an to justify their current practice of suicide missions. If the Muslims were strong militarily and able to face their enemies in battle, even these fanatic scholars would have had no justification to interpret self-defense to include suicide operations. If these young men were not under the sway of Wahhabism, which is the only contemporary doctrine that permits killing other Muslims, they would not have considered other Muslims (particularly Shiites) as apostates. But Wahhabis are so intolerant that they consider the flimsiest of practices (such as clipping the beard, let alone shaving it) as reason enough to make a person become a non-Muslim or an apostate who should be liquidated without further deliberation! Visiting graves of relatives or religious figures is another deadly sin. At this juncture one cannot stop marveling on how the Saudi Royal Family could be adherents to the Wahhabi creed and at the same time keep such strong relations to the United States and other "infidel" Western countries! There seems to be a dichotomy in Saudi Arabia between what the government allows the Wahhabi clerics to do and say and between what the government itself is practicing in foreign relations.'

What I want to go into is why this deficit dropped from $554 million to $232 million, and combine it with some past history. The DHS itself admits that they and the Walker Administration have done nothing to "improve" the Medcaid deficit picture in the letter they sent the Joint Finance Committee. I'll throw in my own notes at the end of each of the 4 points in the letter.
Caseload: Under current eligibility standards, based on actual enrollment to date, we project that enrollment growth will be smaller in FY 12 compared to Act 32 [the state budget] assumptions. We project that enrollment will continue to grow, however, eventually reaching roughly the same average level in FY 13 as assumed in Act 32....[basically the DHS thought there would be more people on Medicaid than there actually were. Oops.]So out of 4 reasons for the reduced deficit, 2 are due to the state overstating the amount of the Medicaid crisis, and 2 are due to Obama Administration policies that help states. Nice, huh?
Medicare Part B Premiums: The state is required to pay Medicare Part B premiums for Medicaid enrollees who also participate in Part B. In November, the federal government announced 2012 premiums that were lower than assumed in the September estimate. [in other words, the Feds demanded less money than the state thought they would. "Thanks Obama!"]
Drug rebates: The September projection assumed that the Department would need to return $25 million of drug rebates received in FY 11 to the federal government based on provisions in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) [THIS IS OBAMACARE!] Based on a more detailed analysis, the repayment amount is now estimated to be approximately $7 million. [or $18 million saved. Once again, "Thanks Obama!"]
Cost per enrollee trends: Actual expenditure data in FY 12 indicate costs per enrollee for various services will be lower than assumed in the September projection. The projection still assumes that costs for the average enrolee will increase during the biennium, based on historical trends. [DHS overestimated the costs. Oops again].
Of course, despite the improved budget picture, DHS Secretary and Heritage Foundation hack Dennis Smith is still saying that they won't reduce any of the $554 million in projected Medicaid cuts, because Smith said "We have to make sure we grow the profits of our insurance company donators and throwing people off of Medicaid and Badger Care and into the private market is a great way to do that." (Oh wait, he didn't say that, but was only thinking it. Sorry bout that)
And why am I skeptical of how this played out? Because Smith, DHS and the Walker Administration have a history of lying and deceiving on these topics. The worst example was in August, when Smith and DHS cherry-picked and gave false impressions when they relayed the state's own report on the effects of Obamacare, then tried to silence the author of the report, lest he tell media that Obamacare would cover over 340,000 more Wisconsinites in the next 5 years. More recently, you have the Family Care fiasco, where not only did the Walker Administration put an illegal limit on enrollment in the popular program, but then Walker held a press conference and tried to take credit for the move when DHS and Walker had been ordered by the Feds to lift the cap. So with that sort of background, why wouldn't Smith and DHS give a "rosy scenario" of increased Medicaid enrollment and costs to cause a "budget crisis" to appear, and then use this crisis as an excuse to put in big cuts to social services and other areas of the budget?
It's not like Walker hasn't pulled similar garbage before, such as when he sent off layoff notices of Milwaukee County employees in 2009 and then admitted it was a trick to grab more budget concessions (messing with employees' jobs- HILARIOUS!), and then 5 months later ended up with a $9 million budget surplus.
And in the unforgettable David Koch phone call, Walker bragged about planning to send "5 to 6,000" layoff notices to state workers to "crank up a little more pressure" on the Wisconsin 14 after they left the state. Walker's administration knew thousands of state workers had already retired or left service and that there was no need for layoffs if they wanted to lay off current staff to bring down expenses to the level they wanted (for that reason, I knew the threat was bullshit at the time, and I was hardly a higher-up).
So "broken" budgets and huge cuts have been consistently pulled by Walker and his boys as a deceptive hardball tactic to try to get his way, and so I reserve the right to be suspicious of past and current Medicaid numbers. Don't be shocked if some other new "surprise" pops up as this runs through Joint Finance and the Legislature in the next few weeks, and maybe we'll see some other fun revelations at the State of the State on Jan. 25. Keep your eyes open on these things and don't let up, because Scotty thinks he can grift and deceive his way into selling off Wisconsin one more time to his contributors, but he won't be able to do it if we do a little "cranking up" of the pressure ourselves.

Detailed Notes on cleaning jobs in brisbane qld australia
Can anybody who takes advantage of a Daiken air purifier inform me it truly is Protected to use. Soon after I purchased the machine then I realised it generates ozone. And ozone is poisonous and could cause lung/medical issues.
The primary uses I am looking for are hayfever/alergies and tobacco smoke so intrigued to find out When you have discovered it works for these.
I'm at present in favor in the manufacturer Blueair for their SmokeStop™ program. But I really want to work with an Australian manufactured program. ;)
Actually That is what we're after the use of an air purifier, we wished to get absent with odors and for a few of us who has allergies in dusts and pollen, and Indeed i can say it did assist. We run our unit Nearly 24/7 result in we are in a dusty place.
Soon after finding my 2yo break up procedure A/C cleaned (highly advisable, you should have witnessed what arrived out it plus the tech claimed it was not even that bad!) I am in investigate manner for purifier invest in.
I had been referring on the separate carbon filter within the DH product for elimination or gases/odours. (CH product doesn't have this Deodorization filter, which I guess is why it's less expensive)
Considering the fact that then I bought a FUW53J which I depart functioning in the most crucial residing parts. Extremely pleased with both of those machines.
Much better to spend to avoid illnesses for example asthma, hay fever, flu, allergy symptoms and so forth than be sorry to acquire performed almost nothing and resolve them as soon as they arise.
I've a small-medium bedroom in my home that usually appears to get brimming with dust very quickly (dust motes and settled dust) when compared to the rest of the home. I feel its to accomplish with the evaporative air-conditioner vent that appears to Enable air in even if the unit is turned off.
A check i do is glow a laser from the room when It really is dim to view the number of particles replicate within the beam, when i contain the filter on You will find a great deal fewer.
I'm looking at paying for one particular also .. Does any one know of any seriously great types which have a much better visual appearance to them? The top reviewed kinds I've look up are rather unsightly.
Cleaning chemicals, detergents, deodorants and optical brighteners, are placed on the carpet employing a brush or rotating pad. Even though a few of the Filth is transferred to the brush or pad. The carpet appears brighter and cleaner, but most of the Filth has just been rubbed in, distribute all around, or disguised via the optical brighteners and deodorants. Chemical residues continue to be over the carpet right after "dry cleaning". This is check here certainly bad environmentally and destroys the stain resistance in the carpet. Stains will generally reappear. Optical brighteners cause harm to some carpets especially wool. A few of the companies supplying carpet dry cleaning in fact provide "Carpet Steam Cleaning" machinery to The work. On arrival they will attempt to convert you to definitely "Steam Cleaning". Dry Cleaners occasionally confer with mysterious vapours, Dry Steam, or several sorts of electrical Electrical power , or suggest that electrons attached to dirt are magnetically faraway from the carpet working with electrical Electricity or some mystical power.
I washed the carbon here filter for The very first time (9 months just after order) applying filtered water plus some delicate Castile soap and vinegar, rinsed then dried outside. Apparently, it weighed 113g right before washing and 110g just after washing/drying.
I'll be obtaining my air purifier next 7 days and after a fortnight of use I'll Enable you are aware of the pros and cons if any, other than the price tag but since I am residing over a main road, and with mould and musty complications in addition to carpets

Do you know why wedding bands are worn on the left ring finger?
It's because it's the only finger that has a vein directly connected to the heart.
(I credit working at a jewelry store for two years knowing the answer to that question)
I am one lucky lady to wear a ring for the past 5 years
to remind me of Jake's love and eternal promise we made to each other on our wedding day.
I'm glad it's close to my heart.
Happy Anniversary Jake. I'm so glad you're mine.
Five down, forever to go...

One of the garden blogs that I added recently to my "read 'em faithfully" list (off on the sidebar there) is another Karen's 1-2-3 Go Garden! Karen is also in south-western Ontario, and boy, does she really know her lilies!
But I don't. I keep planting the tags next to any new additions, because I know I'm never going to memorize them, but some act of nature keeps squirreling them away. It's always possible that I mean that literally.... but why would the squirrels want bits of plastic?
So the long and short of it is.... I can't tell you any more about these lilies except that this one is yellow.
And this one has spots...
And so does this one...
This one is sort of pink....
This one is sort of a purplish red.
And this yellow one is next to the thyme.
They're all darn pretty 'though.
Feel free to pass on their names, if you recognize them. I'll write up some new labels for the squirrels to steal.

Mostly about the Lilies

Hi, I will stick to the daylilies because I don't know much about asiatics.
Your "spotted" orange daylily is merely blemished. I don't have a lot of orange in my garden, so I'm not familiar with that one. The full pink one looks similar to 'Barbara Mitchell' but is likely something else. I'm thinking that your purplish red one might be 'Russian Rhapsody'.
As for tags, keep them in an envelope or album. Write on the back of the tag the location of the plant in the garden.
