In the coastal town of Kilifi in Kenya, an abnormally large number of children born with microcephaly – a condition that leads to improper development of the brain causing an abnormally small head.
Many local communities believe that the children are outcasts who cause natural calamities and are often left to die.
But a school in Kifili town is doing what it can to rescue these children and give them a chance to live a happy life.

You guys! I have abandoned my blog? Why you ask??? I JUST DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME IN MY DAY! Working a "real" job, plus trying to paint, AND exercise, AND RUN A BUSINESS all at the same time. It was to much. So overwhelming, so I just gave up. Also, 2015 hasn't been so kind to me. I started off having big plans for 2015, new website, more propanels, a laptop to easily write these darn blog posts! All of that went down the tubes when I had knee surgery, my step-dad has been super sick, and did I mention the orthodontic office I work for moved to a new location? The gallery in Bellingham that sold my art went out of business. It truly has been one thing after another. 2015 has been draining and overwhelming this year!
So lets see, since it has been months....let me fill you in on what you missed. Lets go Month by month shall we? First....in October, you missed Ally's Sweet Sixteen birthday! What a blast! The kids spent the day doing a scavenger hunt through town, photos in a dress up booth and an elegant dinner of spaghetti and Caesar salad. The evening ended with a surprise visit from a limousine which proceeded to take them to The Big Scoop Ice Cream Parlor!
In November we headed on out to Carson City to see Dan's parents for Thanksgiving! I finally got to meet Dan's brother for the first time! So fun! We had a great time catching up, and my favorite part was seeing a holiday show at the El Dorado Hotel in Reno. The weather always seems so nice in Nevada, we may just have to move there.
My December picture should be about the holidays but instead I will show you a picture of my new dining room table! Isn't it crazy! It was such a BAD idea to start a project like this during the holidays, what was I thinking? The table itself has layer after layer of acrylic paint. I love how the chairs are different colors. I honestly can't believe Dan has put up with it, ha! ha! It truly is just temporary until we can afford a nice dining room table and chairs; have you priced those things lately? Wowza!
In January, we started the New Year off right when my son and his girlfriend came over to celebrate New Years Eve. We spent the evening playing board games, so hilarious! These two are so so dang sweet.
February, right after the holidays, I ended up tearing my meniscus in my knee! Bummer! As most of you know, I love running, and this news was devastating. I really wasn't prepared for this kind of news but decided to get it fixed right away so I could hit the pavement. Dan and I have already signed up for several non-refundable half marathons this summer. (so keep your fingers crossed for a quick recovery. So far things haven't gone so well)
March was inspiring!!! I hade been laid up for a while, but my friend Dana suggested that I do a children's book! Thanks Dana for the awesome fun idea! I have always wanted to make a children's book! Here is a sampling below. I thought I would start by doing a simple ABC animal book and see how that goes. Happy animals make me smile!!! I do have a great story that I would like to work on next!
For my April picture I wanted to share that my style seems to be changing once again, but I am just going with it. I guess this is the ever changing artist in me. I feel like this past winter has been a mix of emotions. I have been frustrated with not being able to keep up and I really wish I had more time to dedicate to my art. I didn't get a chance to offer any classes this year, and still feel completely unorganized. One positive thing about this winter is that I have had some time to really play with colors. Like this:
(I think I am diggin' it! :)
As for May....lets talk about what is happening today and in the future. Lets see.....I am getting ready to do my FIRST farmers market this weekend. I am nervous and excited all at the same time!!!! I just put my art in THE MYSTICAL MERMAID store in FRIDAY HARBOR for all of you islanders looking for my work! Go on in and take a peek! Brian is a super nice guy, he can even show you the Venus Fly traps for sale in the back of the store! SO COOL!
In June I decided that I am dialing back the market this year and plan on doing more art festivals. I will be at The Anacortes Farmers Market on June 6th, July 25th and August 9th. If you are looking for me this summer....you can find me here:
Thanks everyone for the continued support! I cant believe it has been 5 years!!! This little business of mine started off with a drug store canvas and some old craft paintings and has grown every year!!! All of this is possible because of YOU!!!! I am so grateful!

Why hasn't the U.S. gone after Mullah Omar in Pakistan?
WASHINGTON — For seven years, the Bush administration has pursued al Qaida but done almost nothing to hunt down the Afghan Taliban leadership in its sanctuaries in Pakistan, and that's left Mullah Mohammad Omar and his deputies free to direct an escalating war against the U.S.-backed Afghan government.
The administration's decision, U.S. and NATO officials said, has allowed the Taliban to regroup, rearm and recruit at bases in southwestern Pakistan. Since the puritanical Islamic movement's resurgence began in early 2005, it's killed at least 626 U.S.-led NATO troops, 301 of them Americans, along with thousands of Afghans, and handed President-elect Barack Obama a growing guerrilla war with no end in sight.
Violence in Afghanistan is at its highest levels since 2001; the Taliban and other al Qaida-allied groups control large swaths of the south and east; NATO governments are reluctant to send more troops; and Afghan President Hamid Karzai faces an uncertain future amid fears that elections set for next year may have to be postponed.
Nevertheless, a U.S. defense official told McClatchy: "We have not seen any pressure on the Pakistanis" to crack down on Omar and his deputies and close their arms and recruiting networks. Like seven other U.S. and NATO officials who discussed the issue, he requested anonymity because he wasn't authorized to speak publicly.
"There has never been convergence on a campaign plan against Mullah Omar," said a U.S. military official. The Bush administration, he said, miscalculated by hoping that Omar and his deputies would embrace an Afghan government-run reconciliation effort or "wither away" as their insurgency was destroyed.
Many U.S. and NATO officials, in fact, are convinced that while Pakistan is officially a U.S. ally in the war against Islamic extremism, sympathetic Pakistani army and intelligence officers bent on returning a pro-Pakistan Islamic regime to Kabul are protecting and aiding the Taliban leadership, dubbed the Quetta shura, or council, after its sanctuary in the Baluchistan provincial capital of Quetta.
Wounded Taliban fighters are treated in Pakistani military hospitals in Baluchistan, and guerrillas who run out of ammunition have been monitored dashing across the frontier of sweeping desert and rolling hills to restock at caches on the Pakistani side, the U.S. and NATO officials said.
"They have free rein down there," said a senior NATO official.
Omar, the one-eyed founder of the Taliban movement that imposed puritanical Islamic rule on Afghanistan with Pakistani and al Qaida support during the 1990s, and bin Laden fled to Pakistan after the 2001 U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan.
Bin Laden and his followers crossed into the Federally Administered Tribal Area, which borders eastern Afghanistan. Omar and his lieutenants crossed into Baluchistan, which abuts the southern Afghan provinces of Kandahar and Helmand, the heartland of the Taliban insurrection, U.S. officials said.
From Baluchistan, Omar and his council are believed to direct the Taliban's broad military and political strategies and to arrange arms and other supplies for their fighters in southern Afghanistan, U.S. officials said.
They preside over military, intelligence, political, and religious committees, and also oversee a fund-raising operation in the Pakistani port city of Karachi that raises money across the Muslim world, said a Pentagon adviser on the region, who asked not to be further identified.
Baluchistan also is a major corridor through which Afghan opium, which is refined into heroin, is smuggled to the outside world, providing the Taliban with $60-$80 million a year.
The Bush administration, however, has focused virtually all of its attention, funds and energy on routing al Qaida in the FATA because it considers bin Laden and his organization the main terrorist threat to the United States and its allies, U.S. officials said.
Ronald Neumann, who served as the U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan from 2005 to 2007, said that while the Bush administration urged Pakistan to arrest Taliban leaders, "it did not differentiate" between those in the FATA and those in Baluchistan.
"We did not go after Baluchistan as a separate policy issue," he said.
"The U.S. is still focused primarily on this as a counter-terrorism mission, not a counterinsurgency mission," said the Pentagon advisor. "The primary focus of the United States is still the top threat to the U.S. homeland, and that means al Qaida."
Moreover, the FATA is the base of a bloody insurrection by al Qaida and its Pakistani allies that's increasingly destabilizing nuclear-armed Pakistan, U.S. officials said.
"There has to be at some point a prioritization of effort," said an official with U.S. Central Command, which oversees U.S. military operations in the region. "And right now you have insurgents within FATA who by their own admission are absolutely hell-bent on waging a war against Pakistan."
"So much of our strategy on Pakistan has been settling for the less-than-optimal solution, and this is just one more element of that," said a State Department official.
A senior administration official denied that the administration has ignored the Quetta shura, saying it's pressed Islamabad to act at every high-level meeting. Pakistan has cooperated in operations that killed three top Taliban leaders in Afghanistan, he added.
Yet he conceded that the United States hasn't been "consistent" in pressing for action against the Quetta shura.
The senior NATO official said that while U.S. and European officials routinely demand the arrest of Omar, who has a $10 million bounty on his head, and the Quetta shura, they've never threatened Pakistan with serious consequences if it fails to act.
"All they've done in the last two years is arrest one Taliban leader," he said.
Mullah Obaidullah Akhund, the former Taliban defense minister, who was thought to have been close to bin Laden, was placed under house arrest in Quetta in February 2007. It's not known, however, if Akhund, the only top Taliban leader that Pakistani authorities have ever detained, is still being held.
U.S. officials said that Pakistani authorities might be reluctant to pursue Omar to avoid fanning further unrest and lawlessness in Baluchistan, Pakistan's least-developed and most sparsely populated province, where a low-level tribal insurrection has flared for years.
Pakistani security forces have been overstretched by the Islamic insurgency being waged by al Qaida-allied Pakistani extremists based in the remote tribal area north of Baluchistan, they noted.
Some experts, however, said that Pakistan could neutralize Omar and his council by arresting several prominent members and ordering the rest back to Afghanistan.
"It would be relatively easy for the Pakistani authorities to quietly arrest some of the leading members. I don't think you need major military offensives," said Ahmad Rashid, a Pakistani journalist and authority on the Taliban. "Everybody knows where they are."
The senior administration official, however, said that Omar's location is uncertain, and that it would be difficult for Pakistani authorities to arrest him or his deputies because that likely would mean raiding Afghan refugee camps controlled by heavily armed Taliban supporters.
Obama has pledged to give top priority to ending the bloodshed in Afghanistan and stabilizing Pakistan. He's said that he'll boost the 61,000-strong U.S.-led NATO force in Afghanistan by as many as 20,000 more U.S. troops and pursue al Qaida more aggressively.
U.S. officials and other experts, however, warned that no Afghan strategy can succeed unless the United States and its allies do more to convince Pakistan to arrest or expel the Taliban and close its bases in Baluchistan.

The Arab spring entered a new chapter last night when Mohamed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood was declared Egypt's first democratically elected president, triggering rapture in Cairo's Tahrir Square and a nervous welcome from regional leaders jittery over the advance of Islamism.
Sixteen months after the fall of his predecessor, the dictator Hosni Mubarak, official election results gave Morsi, a US-educated engineer, 51.7% of the vote against 48.3% for his rival, Ahmed Shafiq, a former prime minister under Mubarak. The turnout was reported to be 51.6%.
It is the first time that Egypt has been headed by an Islamist in the modern era, and the first time that a freely elected civilian has come to power in the country.
When the final announcement came – after a dense 45-minute preamble from the election chief, Farouk Sultan – it instantly rippled through Tahrir Square, setting off fireworks, flag-waving and chants of "God is greatest". "The revolution was victorious – this feeling cannot be described," said Mahmoud Abdallah. "If Shafiq had won, the past year would have been for nothing. Now we need to fight for the constitution and parliament. Political forces have united now against the anti-revolutionaries and we will win no matter how strong they are."
Mahmoud Abdel-Aziz, an elderly leather goods dealer, said: "It is justice, and happiness. I want everyone to have his rights in this country. My wife is sick and her treatment is expensive. I want it to be fair and equal for all. We ask God that Morsi is able to do this, but we're all in it together."
The 61-year-old president studied and taught at university in California before returning to Egypt to enter politics, winning election as MP in 2000. He spent months in prison during the Mubarak regime before rising to become head of the Muslim Brotherhood's political wing, the Freedom and Justice party, in 2011, after Mubarak's fall.
He owes his rise in the Brotherhood to his allegiance to its current deputy head, Khairat al-Shater, who remains the most powerful figure in the movement. He told the Wall Street Journal on Friday that its foreign policy priority was a "strategic partnership" with the US, with the aim of gaining access to international credit markets and global legitimacy.
The US president, Barack Obama, congratulated Morsi by phone, and also called Shafiq to encourage him to stay active in Egyptian politics. "The president underscored that the United States will continue to support Egypt's transition to democracy and stand by the Egyptian people as they fulfill the promise of their revolution," the White House said in a statement.
The much delayed election announcement allayed fears that Egypt's generals, who have overseen the country's messy transition, might attempt to rig the result, but Morsi will inherit an office with powers that have been sharply curtailed last week by the military junta, the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (Scaf), which dissolved parliament and consolidated its own grip on national security policy.
The head of Scaf, Field Marshal Mohammed Hussein Tantawi, publicly sent his congratulations to Morsi, to whom Scaf is due to hand power at the end of the week, but it is unclear how much authority the military will allow him to wield.
At the Muslim Brotherhood campaign headquarters, officials were insistent that there had been no deals with Scaf to pave the way for a Morsi presidency.
"We negotiated with the fellowship of Tahrir, not the military," said Sameh el-Essawy. "Our issue is not with the army, but with the leaders of the army. They are not politicians."
He did admit however that there had been talks with the generals in recent days. "If the army phones you and says, 'We need to talk about Egypt,' of course you go. But talking is not the same as making a deal."
He added that the party would now attempt to heal divisions and assuage fears about them. He also stated that the Tahrir sit-in would continue until demands were met. "We are normal Egyptian people, we are not monsters. Our candidate won and we're going to Tahrir and staying there until we get our rights."
The first formal congratulations from abroad came from Hamas, whose position in Gaza is likely to be bolstered by the result. Iran also offered its congratulations, while Israel said it "appreciates the democratic process in Egypt and respects its outcome". Next came a more restrained note from one of Gulf's conservative monarchies, the United Arab Emirates, which said that it "welcomes the results of the presidential elections [in Egypt] and respects the choice of the brotherly Egyptian people".
But behind the formal sentiments, Shadi Hamid of the Brookings Doha Centre thinktank predicted there would be few cheers from the established rulers of the Gulf.
"They see the rise of Islamists in the region as a threat to regional security. Not only that, they fear the rise of Islamist opposition in their own countries. Islamists across the region will be emboldened after today's results, and that's precisely what the Saudis and the Emiratis don't want," Hamid wrote in an email.
In the UK, the foreign secretary, William Hague, set out early benchmarks by which the Muslim Brotherhood would be judged in the west. Hague tweeted congratulations to Morsi and the Egyptian people "on the result, and the peaceful process".
"I hope Egypt's new president will show early leadership on democratic and economic reforms, [and the] rights of all Egyptian men and women," he wrote.

How Can a Criminal Record Affect My College Applications?
South Texas Expungement Attorney
Whether you have recently graduated high school or are considering going back to school, a college education offers the promise of new opportunities. Today, more than ever, employers are looking for candidates with a four-year degree, even for entry-level positions. Unfortunately, a growing number of Texas residents may find the university doors closed to them as the result of a criminal record. At Clear My Record San Antonio, we can help you explore your options for getting into the school of your choice, and we may be able to keep your past from continuing to present problems for your future.
Application Questions
Recent studies indicate that up to two-thirds of American colleges and universities ask about an applicant's criminal background. While not all admit to using the information in making admission decisions, it is hard to believe that the questions would be asked if the answers did not matter. To a certain extent, it is understandable that college admissions departments would have an interest in promoting campus safety, and that admitting a person with a lengthy criminal history may not seem like the best idea. But where should a school draw the line? Is one conviction too many? What about someone who was arrested several times for various offenses but never convicted?
Expungement and Juvenile Record Sealing
While some people believe that admission decisions like these border on discrimination, there is a measure of acceptance about the practice. This means that your best option is to apply for college with a clean record, and we can help you do that, even if you have been arrested before. Depending on the circumstances of your arrest and prosecution, you may qualify for expungement, also called expunction, which is the removal of all record of the arrest from your criminal history. If you are concerned about an arrest from before you turned 17, we can also help you seal your juvenile record, keeping it from affecting your college application as well.
Expunction Made Easy in Bexar County
At Clear My Record San Antonio, we know how much trouble an arrest record can cause you as you look to move forward in your life. We also realize that you are busy and the thought of taking on the Texas criminal justice system again may be daunting, to say the least. That is exactly why we break the expungement process down into three simple steps:
- Complete our online form and click "submit";
- We verify whether you qualify for expungement or an Order of Nondisclosure and contact you to discuss your options; and
- Retain us, and we handle all of the other details.
In most cases, you will not even need to come to our office to complete your expungement. Once the expunction is finished, you will be free from your past and able to pursue the educational opportunities you deserve.
To learn more about expungement or record sealing in Texas, contact our office. Call 210-817-7001 to speak to an experienced Bexar County attorney today regarding your available options.

Effective Leadership is like cultivating the soil to grow positive results. Hitting the ground with a shovel is not cultivating.
Bad leaders are often persuasive and engaging. They may be great at cocktail parties. They may even "light up a room" when they enter it. Often, however, these turn to be bad dates where what you thought you were seeing as attractive and exciting is not that at all. After a bad date you can just walk away, when you hire the bad date you own them or they own you. The bad leader often fails to articulate a vision; changes directions constantly; throws out the "vision of the day" and barks at direct reports to get it done; leaves his/her direct reports to sort things out and spends much of their time doing other things; and only shows up at public events and has little or no visibility to the campus. The bad leader's motivation is often simply to remain in the job.
So what makes a good leader? There are many elements that make a good leader. We all like a visionary who can see around corners and tell us what is coming with great certainty. We like a leader who is a great communicator on stage or off. We want someone who is inspiring. We want someone who makes us all want to be a part of his/her team. We want someone who is not so full of themselves that they can talk to anyone on campus - anyone. We want someone who can represent the college off campus as they raise funds, promote the college, or serve as an icon for what is good about our college or institution. Do you know many leaders like this? I don't either.
It is pretty hard to find this perfect leader. That's not making you feel very good right now, particularly if you're serving on a search committee. There is a good chance that you will not find your dream date. So what should you focus on? All of the attributes above are important. I like to be inspired by a visionary who is a great communicator. This is great, but what about the everyday leader. Leaders spend most of their time in their offices just like you and me. Hopefully they get out on campus and connect with the people they serve - yes serve. Most spend lots of time working with a small number of direct reports. Leaders can be VPs, directors, and support staff in a small department. Whatever the level, I think the most important skill that he/she needs is to have is the ability to relate to their team. Here is where the cultivating comes in.
Leaders cannot do the work of the organization. They just can't. They are there to lead. What they can do is create an atmosphere where good things can happen and good service and solutions can grow. They need to be able to cultivate the people on their team. They need to be able to be accepting, yet demanding. They need to keep the focus on the goals of the institution every day. They need to live the line or "walk the talk". They cannot cheat or like the Emperor with no clothes, they will be found out and their credibility will vanish.
Effective leaders need to work at connecting with all the people on their team. Even in a large organization and effort to do this needs to be made. This is hard work and there are only so many hours in a day, but even trying is setting a good example and people notice. Back to cultivating. Have you known a boss who seems to get so frustrated by their inability to move an organization or team forward that they try to beat the team in submission. They start pounding the ground with a shovel, metaphorically, by yelling, sending nasty emails, and generally trying to rule through fear. Some use a surrogate to deliver the angry message. I worked for a boss like that once.
So what is cultivating? Cultivating is learning as much about your team as you can. Find out who they are and what they want from life and their careers. Explain what your vision is and encourage them to help you get there. Create an environment where they can share their ideas without fear. Have you ever been at a leadership meeting where after a long diatribe from the leader the group is asked what they think or what their teams are doing to support to the mission? Have you witness dead silence at these moments. People are afraid to say anything for fear that they will be judged or ostracized by the leader. Striking fear into people does not create the kind of team oriented "we are on the same page" environment that makes for a good place to be or work. Now I am not suggesting that every meeting be a Kumbaya love fest. The process of cultivating a team at any level takes time and the building of trust. There is nothing wrong with challenging people. In fact this is a good thing. It builds self-esteem and a sense of accomplishment. Even failures, or failing to meet a goal, can present a mutually educational moment.
So the next time you are looking for a leader, look below the surface. Make every effort to find out what the persons management style really is. Don't ask them. They will tell you how inclusive they are. Dig deeper or pay someone else to dig deeper. Ask their former leadership teams or employees. Ask leaders from the profession who may know them and their style. Find out how they live their daily lives on the campus or in the organization. If they cannot cultivate their team, they probably are not the person you want. I love a good visionary speaker. They can be thought provoking and even exciting. Those are great skills, but the day to day cultivating skills are the most important. Now you can see why good leaders are so hard to find. BTW, if you don't get a good feeling about a potential leader, keep looking. The pain of starting a search over is far less the pain of making a bad choice.

to other areas other than music. It's so strange to see these people start off as just Kpop rookies and seeing them reach
this point. Completely amazed.

Action: Standard • Range: Close • Duration: Instant • Cost: 1 point per rank
You can impose some debilitating condition or conditions on a target by making a close attack. You set the conditions your Affliction causes at each degree when you acquire it and they may not be changed. Higher degree conditions replace lower degree conditions and do not stack with them. See the possible conditions for each degree under the Affliction Resistance Check table. The target resists with Fortitude or Will defense (chosen when you take the effect):
Fortitude or Will vs. DC [Affliction rank + 10]
Success: No effect.
Failure (one degree): The target is dazed, entranced, fatigued, hindered, impaired, or vulnerable (choose one). Potential descriptors include coughing or sneezing, creeping mental influence, drowsiness, euphoria, fear, itchiness, lethargy, nausea, pain, or tipsiness.
Failure (two degrees): The target is compelled, defenseless, disabled, exhausted, immobile, prone, or stunned (choose one). Potential descriptors include agonizing pain, confusion, ecstasy, momentary emotional or mental influence, paralysis, seizure, terror, or vomiting.
Failure (three degrees): The target is asleep, controlled, incapacitated, paralyzed, transformed or unaware (choose one).
The target of an Affliction makes a resistance check at the end of each of his turns to remove first and second degree conditions. Third degree conditions require a minute of recovery time or outside aid, such as the Treatment skill or Healing effect (DC 10 + rank).
The exact nature and descriptors of the Affliction are up to you, chosen when you acquire the effect, with the GM's approval; some examples are provided, but feel free to make up your own.
Alternate Resistance: Some Afflictions may be initially resisted by Dodge, representing the need for quick reaction time or reflexes to avoid the effect. In this case, the later resistance checks to remove the Affliction's conditions are typically still based on Fortitude or Will. For example, a target might make a Dodge check to avoid a blinding light or spray of liquid, but a Fortitude check to eliminate the effect if the initial Dodge fails. +0 cost per rank.
Concentration: Once you have hit with a Concentration Affliction, so long as you continue to take a standard action each turn to maintain the effect, the target must make a new resistance check against it, with no attack check required. +1 cost per rank.
Cumulative: Normally, an Affliction does not have a cumulative effect on the same target, so getting two results of one degree, one after the other, has no more or less effect than a single one degree result; you have to get a higher degree with a later attack, which replaces the initial result. A Cumulative Affliction adds any further degrees to the existing degrees on the target. For example, if you hit a target and impose a vulnerable condition (one degree), then attack again and get one degree on the effect, you impose the Affliction's second degree condition. +1 cost per rank.
Extra Condition: Your Affliction imposes an additional condition per degree of success. So with one application of this extra, your Affliction imposes two conditions—such as dazed and hindered, or impaired and vulnerable—rather than just one. With two applications, it imposes three conditions, and so forth. Since mutually incompatible conditions are largely wasted, Afflictions with this extra often have the Limited Degree flaw as well. +1 cost per rank.
Progressive: This modifier causes an Affliction to increase incrementally without any effort from you. If the target fails a resistance check to end the Affliction, it not only persists, but increases in effect by one degree! So a target affected by the first degree of a Progressive Affliction who fails to resist progresses to the second degree of the effect at the start of his next round. A successful resistance check still ends the Affliction, as usual. +2 cost per rank.
Instant Recovery: Similar to the Reversible extra, the target of an Affliction effect with this modifier recovers automatically, no check required, at the end of
the round in which the duration ends. So, for example, an instant duration Affliction only lasts one round, while a sustained duration Affliction lasts until no longer sustained. –1 cost per rank.
Limited Degree: Your Affliction is limited to no more than two degrees of effect. With two applications of this modifier, it is limited to no more than one degree of effect. –1 cost per rank.

In today's culture, when we encounter anything unconvincing, incomprehensible, illogical, or beyond the control of man, we place it in a catchall zone called "belief." We allocate "believing" to anything outside the natural world, from UFOs to gods.
But we also find "belief" on the other side of life, when we come to our own end. When we hit rock bottom, and all doors seem to slam shut. We then move into the paradigm of "believing" out of desperation for our own lives. Losing hope makes us consider the alternatives, when we have nothing left to look to. When there is a great burden or need, but nothing tangible to grab of, we are forced to reconsider the supernatural. When our bank accounts, credit cards, careers, clothes and cars don't bring the answer, "belief" is suddenly back on the table.
The Oxford Dictionary defines belief as "an acceptance that something exists or is true, especially without proof." Merriam-Webster defines belief as "conviction of the truth of some statement, or the reality of some being or phenomenon, especially when based on examination of evidence."
So how can the same word seem to have opposite meanings from opposite ends of the spectrum? Is belief itself a contradiction? 21st-century Christianity is dominated by the Oxford Dictionary's explanation of belief. It becomes just another hopeless and helpless leap in the dark, like all the other religions of the world, competing with Allah, Ram, Buddha and various New Age philosophies. Unfortunately, the only Christian differentiator today is that I believe in the right God, and you believe in the wrong one.
In response to the above conflicting understanding of belief, we feel the need to bring credibility to our belief by generating evidence according to what we do, and religious behavior becomes a personal affirmation, assurance and reinforcement of belief. We go to the temple, the mosque, and the church to affirm and assure, giving evidence to ourselves of our stated belief. Behavior and actions become the evidence of belief. The more we do, the more the actions affirm our belief. The more we do, the more it provides evidence of our belief, both to others and to ourselves. We do religious deeds to provide proof to others and ourselves that we have faith.
The evidence of Christianity is relegated to simple belief in Jesus and displaying Jesus-like behavior. "Believe in Jesus and behave like Jesus" is an unending cycle of hopelessness that we have come to understand, practice and preach as Christianity in the 21st-century. So we keep trying to add to and aid our unbelief with more behavior. We are asked to give more, attend more, go to missions trips more, preach more, pray more, convert more—and the list goes on—all to assure ourselves. Beyond a point, we are unable to cope with the internal pressure of trying to keep up. We are burnt out. We become hypocritical. We compromise. We fake…
So what is the evidence and proof of the faith that Jesus asks His followers to have? Is Jesus in the business of behavioral rehab? If believing in Jesus does not uniquely qualify my faith, then what is the differentiator of Jesus? If what I do and feel emotionally does not uniquely qualify my faith, then what is the differentiator that Jesus came to establish? What sets following Jesus apart from following any other religious leaders and philosophies of the world?
Something happens in us when we repent and believe in Jesus. It is this something that no other religion or philosophy or style of living can offer. This something is non-circumstantial and does not depend on locations. There is internal evidence that is produced, which becomes an inner constant in the midst of external and emotional variables. This evidence is experienced through a process called transformation of the mind. This is where we cognitively experience the supernatural in the natural and it becomes the new normal.
"New Creation" is not a belief, but a literal re-birth of a new nature within us as a consequence of belief. We become aware of the Person called Jesus, because we partake in His divine nature. The cross not only imputes righteousness but imparts righteousness. This is not an intellectual understanding of Jesus, this is not an emotional experiencing of Jesus, but a transformational becoming like Jesus. This is where the Vine and branch live in intimacy. This is where the sheep hear the Shepherd's voice. This is where communion between God and man happens with cognitive recognition. This is where we know and experience what we have believed! This is where the Spirit testifies to our spirit that we are children of God; the identity we all long to experience with the grip and embrace of the Father inside of us. This is the "substance of what we hope for," the "conviction/evidence of things unseen." This is biblical faith.
Internal evidence of the invisible is the foundation of our external expression of it. If there is no internal evidence, there can be no external expression. Hebrews Hall of Famers had an internal evidence of God that got them to do what they did.
What we do becomes a consequence of who we become. We love because we become love through experiencing it ourselves. We draw from the supernatural, and it flows into the natural. We receive, so we give. Belief leads to the incredible co-habitation of God in man, with the mind of man being able to consistently draw from the spiritual, irrespective of any external situation or circumstances. It is experienced through a process called transformation of the mind. This transformational inner-awareness/perception of God is the evidence in Christianity.

Saturday when I picked up my vegetables at our local CSA I noticed the crops had changed. As we enter the summer season we got tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and less of the leafy greens. As the weather gets hotter our bodies cry for lighter fresher foods and the earth provides.
Eating seasonally is not something everyone is familiar with. With big grocery stores carrying the same kinds of foods all year round we have grown a costumed to eating that way. But maybe its time to make a change for our health and the environment. Eating seasonally provides us with great benefits plus it helps the soil heal and prosper. According to Natural News, "The seasons are a source of natural diversity, and this is why changes in growing conditions from spring to summer or fall to winter are considered essential for balance for both the earth's resources and its life forms." Eating seasonally is one of the best things we can do for our health! Yet it is one of those things most people don't consider when trying to improve their health.
You see, just as the weather changes so do the crops. It's a natural cycle and our bodies benefit from this. Think about a warm pumpkin soup in the fall, when its cold and windy. Now imagine having that warm soup on a hot summer day. Not only that, but a pumpkin will be most nutritious, fresh and delicious during the fall and winter season. My point is that in order to enjoy the health and flavor benefits of whole foods, we should consume them when they are naturally at their best.
There are more benefits to eating mind fully. By eating seasonally you are supporting responsible agriculture . By rotating crops according to season farmers can keep the soil nourished and use less pesticides. It is also greener because you can consume more local produce. When produce is out of season it is picked while it's still green, then chemicals are used to ripen it and keep it looking "fresh" while it travels, sometimes for thousands of miles, to get to your local grocery store.
While it is ok to eat fruits and vegetables that are not in season, the bulk of our produce should be seasonal. It is just another way to find balance in our lives. Being in synchronicity with our environments includes our nourishment. And the better we nourish ourselves, in all aspects, the healthier and happier we will be.
I know it can be confusing to figure out what we should eat every season so here are some tips.
During spring eat more leafy greens, your plate should look like the beginning of spring with all those green sprouts.
During summer eat light cooling foods. Think of tomatoes, cucumbers, summer squash, peppers, broccoli and corn.
During fall emphasize on carrots, sweet potatoes, onions, and garlic. Use warmer spices like ginger or mustard seeds.
During winter focus on root vegetables.
Listen to your body, it will always tell you what it needs (not to be confused with what it craves in the form of sugars or junk food).
For more information on what foods are harvested when in your area you can visit local harvest.

This time last year I wrote a blog post on training in Lanzarote in which I described the island as 'a tough place for bicycle practice' - well guess what? ... it still is. I won't spend too much time rambling on about Lanza in this post, just a bit about my training which will lead nicely in to the second part of this post and the two opening 'races' of my 2018 season. If you want to read a bit more about cycling in Lanzarote here's the link to last years post LanzaTraining.
My plan for the week was to ride for about twelve hours in total over six days and taper a bit towards the end of the week, we were returning home on Thursday 15th and my first race was Saturday February 17th so I wanted to be reasonably fresh when I got back. My training plan was to do a three day block starting with a three hour endurance ride followed by two days of approx two hours incorporating some race specific efforts. I collected my pre-booked hire bike from the excellent Free Motion bike store Free-motion the day after we arrived and just did an easy ride to make sure the bike was OK and to flush the flight out of my legs, a gentle pedal along the cycle path from Puerto Del Carmen to Arrecife was ideal.
Arrecife Carnival
Another picture using portrait mode on the Iphone 8+. While we were in Lanzarote the Arrecife Carnival was in full swing and we saw it advertised as the next best carnival to Rio, which I thought was a bit of a bold claim to be honest. But it really did live up to the billing and was an absolutely cracking day out.
Above picture by my wife Sue of some of the spectators at the carnival, we plan on visiting the carnival again next year - but next time we are going to join in and go in fancy dress ... apparently.
Race 1 - February 17th

"Air Bud 2: Golden Receiver" is a pale shadow of the entertaining 1997 family movie. It's a sequel that lacks the spirit and sweetness of the original. I went to the first "Air Bud" with a heavy heart, since movies about dogs that play basketball do not rank high on my wish list. But I was won over by the movie's charm, and its story about a new kid in town who is an outcast who practices basketball by himself until he realizes that his dog, Buddy, can play, too.
There was some sadness in the setup; the boy, Josh (Kevin Zegers), had just lost his dad, a test pilot killed in a crash. He and his mom and little sister had moved to a leafy Seattle coastal suburb. Josh was the manager of the school basketball team, and Buddy--well, Buddy hardly ever missed a shot, and eventually helped the school team win the big game.
Is it against the rules for dogs to play on school teams? The movie nimbly sidesteps that question, and this time Buddy turns his talents to football, trading in his little paw-sized basketball shoes for a jersey with padded shoulders, which makes him look weirdly deformed. Buddy, catching the ball in his mouth, flawlessly executes plays. He's never offside, always runs the patterns, forces fumbles and can outrun anyone on the field.
The human story is not quite as simple. Josh's mom, Jackie (Cynthia Stevenson), has started to date again, and falls in love with the local veterinarian, Patrick Sullivan (Gregory Harrison). Josh and his buddy don't like this, and do what they can to prevent the romance. Meanwhile, in a total miscalculation, the movie unwisely adds a lame-brained subplot about a couple of Russian petnappers who apparently plan to steal a lot of animals and use them to set up a zoo.
The chief pet thief, played by Nora Dunn, runs through people's yards after Buddy, wearing a slinky black dress and waving a big butterfly net that would certainly not attract the attention of a town alerted to dognapping. She and her sidekick tool around town in an ice cream truck with an annoying little jingling bell, which would also certainly not attract attention. She finds out about Buddy through TV coverage of the dog's brilliant play in the basketball finals, which in this town are apparently held the day before football season opens.
There are way too many heartfelt scenes between Mrs. Framm and her fiance. And not enough stunts by the dog (perhaps because the original and great Buddy, which could allegedly actually shoot baskets, died of cancer soon after the first film was completed). I did like Robert Costanzo's performance as the football coach, a quaint creature who actually believes that schoolchildren should play sports for fun.
And there was another aspect of the film that amused me. Whenever Buddy scores a touchdown, he doesn't spike the ball (lacking the equipment to do so). Instead, he celebrates his score by rolling onto his back and luxuriously digging his shoulders into the turf.
Watching him do that, I was reminded of the classic dog novels of Albert Payson Terhune, which I read as a boy. He wrote about "Lad," as I recall, and revealed that when dogs don't like you, they engage in that shoulder behavior as a way of suggesting they're rolling in the putrefying flesh of their dead enemies.
Too bad the play-by-play announcer doesn't pick up on that, but then the announcers are not real sharp in this town. The first time Buddy runs onto the field, the announcer shouts, "It's a dog!" Don't you kinda think a play-by-play announcer in a small suburban town would recognize the golden retriever that had just won the basketball championship? A dog like that, it attracts attention.

This Friday, August 30th!
Original Location Re-Opening Post-Remodel and Expansion
It's the story behind the motivation to create a food experience that is uncomplicated but has an added touch and that showcases the best of seasonal ingredients that make restaurants like Rustic Bakery the real deal.
Owner Carol LeValley first started using organic flour in her breads because she thought it improved the flavor. After reading more about organic farming practices, she came to understand what an impact it has not just on taste but on the planet. This reinforced her decision to source local, organic ingredients as much as possible with recipes that are her own or are developed from sources that suit her high standards. She enjoys that her cafés have become neighborhood gathering spots where wholesome food generates enthusiasm and connection.
Bakery Bliss
Sourdough Flatbread in Various Flavors
Expanded Serving Counter

A Utah couple discovered through a DNA test that their daughter, who was conceived through artificial insemination, does not carry the DNA of the man she has called daddy all her life.
The biological father was Thomas R Lippert, a convicted felon who worked as a technician at Reproductive Medical Technologies, the fertility clinic in Midvale, Utah. Lippert replaced clients' sperm for with his own.
Before working at the clinic, Lippert served two years in prison for kidnapping a college co-ed for three weeks and using electroshock therapy on her to make her "fall in love with him," KUTV reported.
The clinic is no longer open and Lippert died in 1999 at the age of 49. Authorities from the University of Utah, which had ties to the clinic, are involved in an ongoing investigation, but say Lippert could have switched his sperm in as many as 1,000 procedures.

In a popular study about cows that were called by their name and treated like individuals, produced on average 500 pints more milk than cows outside the study. That's a 3.5% increase. Cabot cheese is using this study in their marketing; happy cows produce better tasting cheese.
New research is proving that productivity increases with happy employees, even in corporate business. Happy employees enjoy coming to work, use more of their skills, are willing to learn new things, except change easier and don't move to other companies as often. Increased productivity improves the bottom line.
How can you use this?
Start leading your team or department differently. The heart of business is people. Get to know them and start treating your employees or customers with the respect they deserve. Take a few extra minutes and connect with others. Pass out compliments like they're going out of style. The words please and thank you go a long long way.
Let me know how this one tip changes you and your team.

I want to thank you for a truly transformative experience. The one-on-one learning and practice of Reiki techniques was a real gift for me, and your warm and welcoming manner made me feel at ease. A week has passed since my class, and my hands are still like little furnaces of energy! I can't wait to come back and learn more in Reiki II.
R.C. Napanee, Ontario
I really enjoyed taking the Reiki II Course with Laurie, and I am looking forward to further training. It was very informative, had excellent theory coverage and practical experience. The class was taught in a warm, friendly, non-judgmental setting. Laurie was always supportive and encouraging. I highly recommend taking a class with Laurie. It will change your life!

Working with Laurie as a Brennan Healing Science Practitioner has been delightful. She was very calm, gentle and respectful of whatever I wanted to share either as to why I sought a treatment or about anything which came up during the treatment. She always waited until I was finished whatever I wanted/needed to share before telling me any impressions she received during the treatment. This, I think, is also very respectful in that it was less likely to prejudice, in any way, whatever I had discovered on my own. I believe her treatments helped me keep my stress levels lower than they would otherwise have been over those weeks. I also believe they provided me with "ground work" so I could address yet another layer of healing.

Laurie is great! I had a one-on-one session (QHHT) with her a few weeks ago and it was amazing! found out a lot about myself! She makes you feel very comfortable and holds a beautiful space for you to open up ~ this is a great opportunity to give her a try - I can't recommend her enough!

Hey, thanks so much for visiting my website. I know how difficult it can be just to look for a counselor. I hope you find my site easy and informational. I have developed a style of counseling that is very relational and client centered. Every client I see is different and because of that I provide everyone with personalized counseling that meets their needs specifically and not a generic treatment plan. I will remain solutions focused and forward thinking. For the most part there isn't much need to dig up the past.
If you have had counseling before and are looking for something different, I think I can provide that. If you think counseling is all about working on the past I assure you that in my office it won't be.
I hope that you call me or use the online scheduling tool to the right to make your first appointment. If you just have questions for me feel free to email or give me a call . If I am able to get to the phone when you call, you will talk to me not a call center or scheduler. If I can't get to the phone, leave me a message and I will call you back within a few hours. Thanks so much.
Grace and peace,

Every month new and exciting things open in Bali, but a few enduring activities remain. Be sure to include some of these activities when visiting beautiful Bali.
Bali's transportation industry thrives on private driving services. Some resorts boast in-house services, while others work as licensed professional operators.
The rice terraces of Bali are an iconic sight that are synonymous with the island.
No Bali holiday would be complete without a visit to the local public markets. Marvel at all the fresh produce on display and maybe pick up something delicious to take to a special cooking class.
Bali may be beautiful all-day long but its sunrises and sunsets are a definite must-see. For an unforgettable Bali holiday, start your day off with a predawn trek to the active volcano Mt. Batur. You'll have to wake up at 2am to be picked up in time by your local trek group but as soon as you reach the summit you'll know it was well worth the effort.
Bali is of course famous for its spectacular beaches, making it a haven for surf-mad couples. Whether you're a surfing novice or an experienced pro, the island has something for everyone. With over five amazing places to choose from, each with varying levels of difficulty, Bali is the perfect place to ride some serious swells.

Running man
Rio today: The men's 1,500 metres Olympics final. It's one of the classics of the track and field repertory and the greats over this distance include Hicham El Guerrouj, Bernard Lagat, Silas Kiplagat, Fermín Cacho, Steve Ovett, Sebastian Coe and Steve Cram.
"At any rate, that's how I started running. Thirty three — that's how old I was then. Still young enough, though no longer a young man. The age that Jesus Christ died. The age that Scott Fitzgerald started to go downhill. That age may be a kind of crossroads in life. That was the age when I began my life as a runner, and it was my belated, but real, starting point as a novelist." — Haruki Murakami, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running

In a too rare spate of social commentary, we start talking about the price of hipster avocados in Australia and US health insurance. With one of our favorite analysts moving over the enterprise side, we talk about what it'd be like going through that door. We then wrap up talking about Canonical's IPO talk, related OpenStack market discussion, and then use CyberArk's acquisition of Conjur to discuss the state of privileges access management (PAM). We end, as always, with recommendations, including some CostCo discussion.

Axus-T4 Wafer Carrier – 4″ Membrane Carrier for CMP Tools
The exceptional process performance of current production CMP tools is largely the product of the membrane carrier technology applied. State-of-the-art membrane carriers with pressure controlled rings have been in use for a decade, except for 4" diameter substrates. Axus Technology has addressed this need, developing the Axus-T4 Membrane Carrier for 4" applications. The Axus-T4 carrier can be installed on several of the CMP platforms including those manufactured by Applied Materials, IPEC and Strasbaugh.
The Axus-T4 carrier delivers on the key advantages seen on larger diameter membrane carriers:
- Improved uniformity, often at 2% WIWNU
- Reduced edge exclusion, down to 5mm or less
- Increased removal rate, improving throughput and reducing process cost
- Increased edge tuning capability, allowing for additional control of removal rate near the edge of the wafer, a feature unique to the Axus-T4 design.
Along with delivering increased yield by reclaiming the otherwise lost edge exclusion area, the carrier can be used on a wide range of wafer thicknesses, without re-shimming or otherwise rebuilding the carrier.
Upgrade Configurations
For AMAT Mirra ™– The Axus-T4 upgrade integrates cleanly into place for fully automated operation, enabling 4" Mirra™ CMP processing.
For IPEC & Strasbaugh platforms – The Axus-T4 upgrade can be applied specifically as a 4" carrier upgrade, along with full automation support. It can also be added as a size option to the standard 150mm or 200mm Titan upgrades available for IPEC 372M and IPEC 472 tools or Strasbaugh 6EC or Strasbaugh 6DS-SP tools.

Tonight's cool screenings:
Max Meehan and Lars Nilsen present yet another dope edition of Savage Gold, their carefully programmed, faintly insane series of "strange and unseen materials" from the collections of, well, VHS collectors. As their webpage puts it, "These shows are for the most adventurous viewers, offering everything from microbudget, shot on video action epics to homemade music videos and more." Tonight, 8 p.m. $5, AFS Screening Room (1901 East 51st St) . Here is the tickets link.
Also tonight, as part of the Drafthouse's Orson Welles extravaganza, check out a 35mm print of the strange and often misunderstood 1955 movie "Mr. Arkadin" aka "Confidential Report." Welles plays a billionaire who contracts an American outlaw to investigate his past. Further scrambling an already complicated movie, there is no "director's cut" or definitive version of "Arkadin." The Drafthouse site notes that there are "at least eight different cuts of the film, three radio plays, a novel, and several long-lost sequences. " Here is a primer.
In that, "Arkadin" is a great example of the notion of unreliable narrator (or narrative unreliability) made literal in the physical object of the movie, inadvertently anticipating remix culture, YouTube cuts, fan culture, etc. The story of "Mr. Arkadin" is never really over; this is just one version. Tickets are $10.25, show starts at 7 p.m.

Now, Brian's plastic tub also stores fly boxes, reels/spools, gloves, socks, jacket, etc. It also functions as a prep station for rigging up with flies, hemostats, leaders, tippet, floatant, etc… adjustable to fit almost any size and style of plastic tub/tote. Two saddle-bag style organizers straddle the front and back walls of the tote and SR clip along the sides to secure. Each saddle-bag can also be used individually saddled over any rail or seat back.
