The question is answered, right answer was accepted
One of the machines running SPSS had a hard drive failure. It was on Windows 7, running SPSS 21.
We replaced the hard drive and installed Windows 10. We found an old installer for SPSS, but it was version 20.
Would I be able to download and install the latest version of SPSS and use the perpetual license key we have from the original installation? It won't take it currently and we'd need it to be reactivated.
Answer by BettinaW (62634) | May 16 at 07:44 AM
No sorry. The current release is SPSS 26. Your previous purchase does not include this version when it was a perpetual license without software subscription and support. Entitled customers download their purchased software from Passport Advantage account, there is no public download link. https://www.ibm.com/software/passportadvantage/pao_customer.html
You can ask the Customer care team of passport advantage if they have still a download section for your account, but as it was from previous years without renewal, it may no longer available, I do not know, please ask them.

GREENSBORO, N.C. -- While people all over the world celebrated Wednesday's election of a new pope, students in Greensboro were also anxiously awaiting news of their new leader.
At the first sign of white smoke from the Conclave, a sign reading "We have a pope. Habemus papam." was posted proudly over Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church in Greensboro.
Father Christopher Davis and Father Eric Kowalski joined students and teachers at Our Lady of Grace School, waiting for word on who would be named the new pope.
"I found out in science class that they saw white smoke, and I was just really excited to find out who our new pope was," said student Emily Gentry
"It's been really exciting," added student Patrock Lancaster. "Our teachers have been pumped up about getting a new pope, especially our religion teacher."
After Cardinal Jorge Bergolgio was named the new pope, Father Davis admitted he was surprised. "I don't know who Bergolio is! Well, they surprised me on that one."
He soon realized, "That's the first Pope Francis!"
Father Davis believes a pope from Argentina represents the bigger picture.
"This represents Catholic. We are a church for everyone. Not just one nation, not just Europe or America, but throughout the whole world."

Billions of dollars were spent on political television ads in 2012, but not in Arkansas. The state was never in doubt in the presidential race, there were no statewide races, and the congressional races were not very competitive.
Billions of dollars were spent on political television ads in 2012, but not in Arkansas. The state was never in doubt in the presidential race, there were no statewide races, and the congressional races were not very competitive.
Don�t get used to it. In fact, you might want to practice programming that DVR before this time next year.
In 2014, Arkansas offers Republicans a chance to replace Democrats in the governor�s mansion, where Gov. Mike Beebe is term-limited, and in the Senate, where Sen. Mark Pryor is vulnerable. Democrats, of course, will not simply hand over those seats. At the same time, Republican voters in eastern Arkansas� First District could be looking at a contested primary if the influential Club for Growth has its way.
Let�s stick with the Senate and First District races for now.
It�s rare for incumbent senators to lose in the general election, but this is the first time Pryor has had a Republican opponent since President Barack Obama was elected, and the state is in the midst of a historic shift. That means the national GOP and its allies will make Pryor�s seat a top priority. The Club for Growth, a powerful group backed by big donors that supports limited government, has already produced an ad tying him to Obama � complete, as is usually the case with both sides, with a faceless narrator, unflattering photos and sound effects.
The Supreme Court has ruled that these groups, unlike the actual campaigns, can raise and spend unlimited money when they don�t donate directly to candidates. So expect to see ads like this every time you tune the TV to a local station in 2014.
The Club�s opposition to Pryor is expected, but Rep. Rick Crawford, the Republican who represents the First District, is also in its crosshairs. The Club has set up a website dedicated to defeating him and eight other Republicans � not with Democrats, but with more conservative Republicans. If Crawford draws the right opponent, the money will flow and voters will see ads similar to the one opposing Pryor.
Crawford has become a target because last year he proposed a 10-year tax hike on Americans making a million dollars a year in exchange for a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution. He said then that the country is in so deep a hole that additional tax revenues are inevitable. That being the case, those revenues should be accompanied by a balanced budget amendment to control spending.
Crawford said in an interview Friday that some members of Congress praised the idea in �hushed tones and whispers,� but it went nowhere in an election year. He pointed out that Congress recently voted to raise taxes, not just on million-dollar incomes, but on people making $200,000 a year, without any long-term spending controls. �We saw taxes go up on millionaires, and what do we get for it? Nothing,� he said.
No matter. Crawford got into trouble simply for talking about compromise and proposing to proactively address a problem rather than wait for a crisis, as usual.
For Crawford to lose in his own party�s primary, someone would have to run against him who would be more conservative and also electable. It�s not clear who in the First District that would be. On the other hand, last year, Beth Anne Rankin, who is pretty conservative, was the clear Republican frontrunner in south Arkansas� Fourth District, but outside groups decided they preferred an unknown Tom Cotton. The Club for Growth alone funneled a quarter of a million dollars his direction. The vote wasn�t even that close.
If you think unlimited campaign dollars funding nonstop negative ads is a problem, there is a solution: Take congressional candidates as seriously as you would a job applicant, which is what they are, and take these ads with a grain of salt. Find out where candidates stand from sources other than a faceless narrator backed by spooky music. Your local newspaper is a great start, or at least, it should be.
And get those DVRs ready. You�re going to need them.

Today's challenge: Draw or write the front page of a newspaper that you would like to see in 2017. What headline would you like to create? It might be something very personal to you, or something bigger for the world. Dream big - who knows what might happen?!
Credit to Rebecca Solnit for inspiring me on this one - I've just finished reading her book Hope in the Dark, which I strongly recommend, and this is an image that she describes at the end of the last chapter.
"...I began to contemplate how human beings half a century or a century from now will view us, who lived in the era when climate change was recognised and there was so much that could be done about it, so much more than we have done. They may hate us, despise us, see us as the people who squandered their patrimony, like drunkards gambling away the family fortune that, in this case, is everyone's everywhere and everything, the natural world itself when it was in good working order. They will regard us as people who rearranged the china when the house was on fire". Rebecca Solnit, Hope in the Dark: Untold Histories, Wild Possibilities.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Ryan Rua has struggled over his young career as a pinch hitter for the Texas Rangers.
However, he made the most of the opportunity against the free-falling Baltimore Orioles.
Rua had a tiebreaking, pinch-hit three-run homer in the seventh inning and the Rangers held on to beat the Orioles 5-4 Friday night to snap a three-game losing streak.
"It was a situation where we just felt if we had runners on base we were going to go to Rua to give us an opportunity to drive some runs in," Rangers manager Jeff Banister said. "I'm not real sure if he's had a pinch hit. I know he's had some attempts and hadn't really come through. But to get a big one in that situation was huge for us."
Cole Hamels (5-8) won for the first time in almost a month, allowing four runs and five hits with three strikeouts and one walk over 6 1/3 innings in a matchup of last-place teams.
"I was still giving up four runs, so that's tough," Hamels said.
Rua broke a 1-1 deadlock with the first pinch-hit of his career, off rookie left-hander Tanner Scott. Rua had gone 0 for 18 in his previous opportunities in that role.
"In my career I've had pretty good success against lefties," Rua said. "Pinch-hitting, not so much, so it was good to get that out of the way."
Nomar Mazara added an RBI double later that inning, which made it 5-1 and boosted Scott's ERA from 5.88 to 6.84 over 26 appearances.
Baltimore pulled within a run on Caleb Joseph's three-run double against reliever Jose Leclerc in the bottom half of the inning. The Orioles loaded the bases in the eighth but Jake Diekman got out of the jam by getting Chris Davis on a short pop out.
Keone Kela got the last three outs for his 23rd save.
"I don't know how many one-run games we've had where we've fought back, fought back and just haven't been able to get that big push," Joseph said. "It'll take a toll on you mentally, for sure."
The Orioles have lost 17 of 20 and fell to 14-33 at Camden Yards, the second-worst home mark in the majors behind Kansas City.
Joey Gallo gave the Rangers the lead when he led off the fifth with a home run off Alex Cobb (2-12). The Orioles answered in the bottom half when Adam Jones hit a double just inside the left-field foul line and later scored on a sacrifice fly by Danny Valencia.
Cobb left his previous start against the Twins in the sixth inning with a blister on his right index finger. He did not appear hampered by the injury and allowed two runs and six hits with three strikeouts and no walks over 6 1/3 innings.
"They're a pretty aggressive team," Cobb said. "I tried to get ahead early, make them chase pitches that you want them to chase, and hopefully, they put it on the ground and find somebody."
Rangers DH Shin-Soo Choo, who was celebrating his 36th birthday, hit a single in the third to extend his club record on-base streak to 49 games. It's also the longest streak in the majors in the last 10 years. … Hamels has struck out at least one batter in 320 straight games.
The Orioles used their 90th different lineup, the most in the MLB. … Baltimore 1B Davis stole a base for the first time since last Sept. 24.
Orioles: RHP Chris Tillman (back) will have another rehab start for Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday. He could be added to Baltimore's roster after the All-Star break, manager Buck Showalter said.
Rangers: LHP Martin Perez (2-3. 9.67 ERA) will come off the 60-day DL from an elbow injury and make his first start since April 29. He went 2-0 with a 0.52 ERA and 19 strikeouts in three rehab outings (17.1 nnings).
Orioles: Rookie Yefry Ramirez (0-3, 3.93 ERA) will make his fourth start of the season. He allowed four runs and nine hits over four-plus innings in a loss to the Yankees on July 9.

Poverty is real in Memphis – more than 79% of students are economically disadvantaged and Memphis proficiency rates fall below the Tennessee state averages: elementary and middle schools as a group, 40.4% of students were proficient or advanced in math and 32.6 % were proficient or advanced in reading. We work hard to ensure that our AmeriCorps members help students get back on track to graduate on time.
Research from Johns Hopkins University shows that students who are at risk of dropping out can be identified as early as elementary school using three early warning indicators: poor attendance, disruptive behavior and course failure in math and English. A child who exhibits even one of these indicators as early as sixth grade has a 75 percent chance of dropping out. We call these the ABCs.
However, research shows that students who reach 10th grade on track and on time are four times more likely to graduate. We partner with school districts to place our AmeriCorps members in the schools that need us the most and provide students with one-on-one support to overcome challenges they face both in and out of school. And, in addition to working with individual students who are at-risk of dropping out, we also provide support to help transform the whole school – including leading school-wide events and activities, after school programming, and in class support for teachers.
Here's what we do to help students stay on track to graduate:
Attendance monitoring and engagement: Roadblocks, like lack of transportation and family challenges, make it hard for some students to get to school. That's why we keep an eye on attendance. This involves everything from talking with students about their challenges to simple gestures such as greeting them on their way into school. And when they aren't there on time, we'll make phone calls home.
Social-Emotional support: We act as role models both through example and positive coaching. If students are having a hard time, we pull them aside and address their concerns, transforming their experience into a positive one.
Support in math and English: We work closely with teachers to identify learning gaps and help differentiate instruction through one-on-one tutoring for students who need it most. We also create after-school programs that help students succeed in math and English to stay on track and graduate with their peers. We also provide support to help transform the whole school – including leading school-wide events and activities, after-school programming, and in- class support for teachers.

Six NYFW shows that brought the catwalk to the public
Sep 13, 2019 | By WGSN Insider
Sep 28, 2017
Paris: The invitation to Natacha Ramsay-Levi's first presentation for Chloe came in a little matchbox, filled with Yonic Tarot symbols, the meaning – "A fusion of the forces of nature, symbols of fertility, goddesses and 'virago women" although virago may not necessarily fit the description of this youthful collection; it resonated more about the spiritual and effortless chic that this new creative director embodies.
The show opened with two pretty dresses, the bodices of which were delicately embroidered and pierced with metallic rings. Is this the idea of Virago? Now I get it! The dichotomy of opposites worked perfectly, such as the long fluid tunic in 'earth' tones worn over the cropped brown trousers or the leather jacket, deep brown, a perfect accompaniment to the sweet flounced mini dress – Ramsay-Levi commissioned an Indian artist to decorate them with folklore 'tree of life' symbols rendering every dress unique. Natacha also focused on the rich ideas that ran through the House of Chloe – 60s to 70s and 90s, seen in many of the tailored items – topstitched waistcoats, tailored suits worn over a delicately ruffled blouse, the long leather coat, cut simply or slim velvet suits.
Dresses and blouses came in floaty versions, panelled and covered in sparkling sequins, providing maximum impact. As Ramsay-Levi said "Every woman can recognise herself with Chloé. You can really take it and make it personal." That just about sums up a truly amazing show. – Lizzy Bowring

Today my almost 16 month old apparently said: "It's Christmas time" while at home with her Dad and Clara. She adds this to her recent repertoire of words that include: Blue, Yellow, Duck, Moo, and Hello. With Clara in full on Santa-Christmas-Fever mode, I am hardly surprised that Freya is jumping on the Christmas-enthusiasm train.
Flashback to a couple of weeks ago, when Freya and Clara met Santa. Their mutual enthusiasm for Santa vanished when presented with the Real Deal - smiles were replaced instantly with steely-eyed glares that seemed to say: "We'd like to see you try something, Santa-man. We can take you." I don't know if the sisters discussed their plan of attack beforehand but they clearly were borrowing from last year's intimidation strategy - Don't let Santa see you smile.
Clara isn't too big on posed photography. Take this case in point - picture day at school came and went. This is the photo I took of her before we went to said picture day.
|Clara - candid, happy - cute.
Just try to tell Clara to smile or do something specific in a photo. Good luck. Here are the photos I got back from picture day. First - the portrait. Same abstract background from my childhood. I would like to know who matted down Clara's hair before hand - maybe Clara? Who knows. And that smile - what a lovely smile - somewhere between - "You told me to smile - I'm smiling." and "I'm just pretending to like you."
And for the grand finale, Clara's class photo. Top row, center - just where her parents were always placed as the tallest kids in the class. It's nice to see some things never change. I present to you, Clara, not looking at the photographer with her eyes closed. My one consolation is at least she's not the only one. 4 year-olds, man.
So with that, kick back, relax, and enjoy this holiday season. I know my kids are.

Jones Bros Civil Engineering UK is designing and constructing a heliport base in Barrow-in-Furness, to support helicopters travelling to and from the Walney Extension off-shore wind farm project.
Walney Extension became the world's largest offshore wind farm when it officially opened earlier this year. The project was led by Ørsted, which specialises in offshore wind internationally, and is capable of providing clean electricity to almost 600,000 UK homes.
The helicopter base features an aviation fuelling system with a 15,000 litre storage tank, with Jones Bros' team installing the pipes used to fuel the aircraft.
The team is also installing modular welfare units for staff working on the site, which is situated on a former candle factory.
The civil engineering contractor worked seven days a week in order to meet tight deadlines on the first phase of the project, with additional activities including earth works, attenuation drainage systems, concrete landing strip, and aviation lighting. The second phase of the construction is now underway.
The project is the latest Jones Bros has undertaken for Ørsted, as the civil engineering firm completed the construction of operations and maintenance facilities for the energy giant in October 2017.
Garod Evans, contracts director at Jones Bros, said: "We're pleased to continue our relationship with Ørsted through this exciting project.
"The base will be vital for the Walney Extenstion offshore wind farm to transfer personnel to and from the site.
Established in the 1950s, Jones Bros is now being run by the second and third generations of the founding family.
It works on projects including the construction of waste management facilities, highways, flood and marine defence, and renewable energy projects around the UK.

Panzanella salad
A Tuscan salad of the ripest, sun-kissed tomatoes and day-old bread – the beauty of this is the way the juices are soaked up by the bread and soften it slightly. This is my basic variation, but feel free to add cucumber, boiled eggs, tuna, anchovies and capers for an Italian vibe.
- Preheat the oven to 180C.
- Lay the capsicums on a tray and roast for 20 minutes until the skins are wrinkled.
- Remove from the tray and leave to cool, then peel off the skin. Halve and remove the seeds, then dice the peppers.
- Cut the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces, sprinkle with the salt and sugar, toss gently and leave to stand for about 10 minutes.
- Tear the bread into small pieces.
- On a large platter, arrange the diced tomatoes (reserve the juices), torn bread, capsicums and fresh basil.

We focus on supporting people in some of the toughest areas to be healthy in: Relationships, Finances and helping everyone discover a ministry in the church and a mission beyond it.
You can get a taste of how we do stuff below.
Our calendar tends to look pretty sparse. That's because we try to support our community in being Jacob's Well in their neighborhoods. We gather weekly, help everyone connect in a smaller setting (Check out GroupLife and Sunday Leftovers links above by clicking on that hamburger thing), and support people in their individual journeys of discovering God.
We focus on supporting people in some of the toughest areas to be healthy in: Relationships, Finances and helping everyone discover a ministry in the church and a mission beyond it.
You can get a taste of how we do stuff below.
Everybody needs relationships of real substance; where trust is strong and it feels safe to share our struggles and excitement, where we care for each other and challenge each other to grow. The way that we try to facilitate this most intentionally is through GroupLife.
6 months to 3 years old
Jacob's Well provides a welcoming safe place for our youngest children to play, snuggle, and experience God's love through caring adults. The pond is located in the Media Center and is available most Sundays from 10:15-11:45. The Wiggle Room (including kids 3-5) is available through the summer months)
Open most Sundays 10:15 – 11:45 am.
We still need help with the Pond this fall! If you would like to snuggle a baby, or cuddle a toddler…Wren will let you know when we need some help!
3-5 years old
A chance for 3-5 year olds to play along as they explore bible stories, sing, and make friends! A play based philosophy of learning, kids engage in games, crafts, and even snacks that help reinforce the ideas of the day. In Splashville we promote Active Learning "What I do I learn" Interactive Learning "Together we learn better" and Building Relationships "Learning about love through love." Splashville meets from September – May.
K-3rd Grade
H2O kids meet in the South gym on Sunday mornings. They begin spending time gathering with their friends and crew leaders sometimes playing a game or making a craft that encourages kids to interact with other kids and adults. The next part of their morning is spent as a large group – singing, skits, science experiments, engaging with bible stories, and seeing how we are part of God's continuing story in our world. Small group time helps kids to reflect, question, and explore the main idea in ways that support the many ways we learn. H2O Kids meets from September – May.
4th - 5th Grades
It's not the kind of 'rats' you might be thinking of…RATS is a way of helping kids understand what faith is all about. Faith is Real, it's All about God's love for us, it's something that we do Together and it's meant to be Shared. The River R.A.T.S meet each Sunday from 10:30 – 11:45 beginning in the North Gym for some ROWDIE fun! We will then be moving to the media center to dig into the bible in a fresh and quirky way helping us to see how God's big story connects with our lives in some pretty cool and real ways. River RATS meets September – May.
Entering 4th grade in September 2018? Register for Bay Lake Camp using the links below.
6th-8th Grades
The Lounge:
Meets Sunday mornings (September – May) and usually involves donuts or something tasty! But it also includes time spent building relationships and talking about our faith in relevant, honest, thinking, and casual ways, challenging kids to explore the ways God is working in their lives.
Meets on Wednesdays 6:30 – 8:00pm during the school year. GroupLife is designed to help kids discover the person God is creating us to be and how faith stuff is really life stuff. GroupLife helps to build a community that we can bring our questions to, learn to care for each other, and how to share our stories. One of the best ways to make big things approachable for youth is through fun! Typical GroupLife events might include; game nights, movie discussions, bowling, tubing, city scavenger hunts, serving opportunities, mentoring, pizza making, and semi-competitive games of dodgeball!
A few times a year we take the time to get away from the busyness, and pressures of our everyday life and spend some concentrated time learning, sharing, serving, and connecting with one another.
High School Youth….
Connect – Sunday mornings, GroupLife, mentors, friends, social media, and activities.
Ask Questions – Who am I? Where is my impact? What does it look like to live into this fullness of life that God sees in me?
Play – Dodgeball, The Amazing Race, Whirly Ball, Ultimate, Tubing, cooking, ropes course, bowling, movies…
Serve – Raking, Me to We, Day of Service, sandwich making, Crew Leaders, Set Up, video production, skits, Se Luz, Bay Lake (pssst…be a camp counselor this summer – see link below)…
Travel – Boundary Waters, New York, Great Plains, Heifer Ranch, Rocky Mountains, Bay Lake (be a camp counselor this summer – see link below), Voyagers, Sailing…

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Tuesday temporarily allowed the Trump administration to stop some 24,000 refugees from entering the United States while the court considers broad challenges to the administration's revised travel ban.
The court's brief order effectively reversed part of an appeals court ruling that had lifted the travel ban's restrictions on the nation's refugee program. There were no noted dissents.
The appeals court had also rejected the administration's efforts to bar travel to the United States from six predominantly Muslim countries by people with grandparents, uncles, aunts and other relatives here. The administration did not challenge that part of the appeals court's ruling, and the Supreme Court did not address it.
The court will hear arguments on the lawfulness of the travel ban on Oct. 10. Tuesday's order was the latest in a series of interim measures interpreting statements in a June ruling in which the court agreed to hear the case. In the meantime, the court temporarily reinstated the travel ban — but only for people without "a credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States."
The meaning of that phrase has been contested ever since. The court did not specify which relatives qualified, for instance, but it did say that spouses and mothers-in-law "clearly" counted.
"As for entities," the court said, "the relationship must be formal, documented, and formed in the ordinary course, rather than for the purpose of evading" the executive order. It gave examples: students admitted to American universities qualified, as did workers with job offers from American companies and lecturers invited to address American audiences.
On the other hand, the court said, relationships formed for the purpose of evading the travel ban did not count.
The Trump administration interpreted both parts of the June ruling narrowly. It said that only some relatives of American residents — parents, children, spouses, siblings, parents-in-law, sons- and daughters-in-law and people engaged to be married — could enter. The administration barred other relatives, including grandparents, grandchildren, aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces and cousins.
The administration also said that relationships between refugees and resettlement agencies were too attenuated to qualify for an exception to the ban because the arrangements had been made by an intermediary: the government.
In July, Judge Derrick K. Watson of United States District Court in Honolulu disagreed with the administration's interpretation on both points. "Common sense," he said, for instance, required grandparents to qualify as close relatives.
Judge Watson also ruled in favor of those refugees whom resettlement agencies were prepared to assist.
"An assurance from a United States refugee resettlement agency, in fact, meets each of the Supreme Court's touchstones," he wrote. "It is formal, it is a documented contract, it is binding, it triggers responsibilities and obligations, including compensation, it is issued specific to an individual refugee only when that refugee has been approved for entry by the Department of Homeland Security."
A unanimous three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, sitting in Seattle, agreed on both points. At the Supreme Court, the government challenged only the part of the appeals court's ruling concerning refugees, arguing that there is no direct connection between refugees and resettlement agencies.
"The absence of a formal connection between a resettlement agency and a refugee subject to an assurance stands in stark contrast to the sort of relationships this court identified as sufficient in its June 26 stay ruling," the government's brief said. "Unlike students who have been admitted to study at an American university, workers who have accepted jobs at an American company, and lecturers who come to speak to an American audience, refugees do not have any free-standing connection to resettlement agencies, separate and apart from the refugee-admissions process itself, by virtue of the agencies' assurance agreement with the government."
In response, lawyers for Hawaii, which is challenging the travel ban, said the administration was mistaking form for substance.
"One would not, for example," the brief said, "deny the existence of a 'relationship' between a couple and the child they plan to adopt from overseas, even though the couple has not had 'direct contact' with the child, and even though the only formal agreement is between the couple and the adoption agency."
On Monday, Justice Anthony M. Kennedy temporarily blocked the Ninth Circuit's decision, which would have gone into effect on Tuesday. The order from the full court on Tuesday supplanted that temporary measure.

For the past 20 years, Cisco Chairman John Chambers and Kleiner Perkins Chairman John Doerr have been bringing tech execs to Washington to meet with government officials about the issues Silicon Valley cares about, like corporate tax reform, high-skilled immigration and science education.
The biggest game-changer over the past two decades? Trump.
Between the lines: Despite the tech industry's overall skeptical view of Trump, two longtime Silicon Valley leaders see positive momentum for driving pro-business policies that will spur startup investment and, most of all, jobs.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas/holiday season. It was a bit hectic around here, because Karel was working on Christmas so we had to reschedule the holiday. Procrastination bit me in the ass, to put it mildly--I may have been in a slight funk these past couple weeks.
But now, with the impending start of a new year, I have decided that parenting the kidlet and taking care of business are no longer mutually exclusive. Kidlet is a good kidlet. There are no more excuses. Time to take the bull by its horns, start taking photographs again, writing more blog posts, re-doing another (much smaller) blog (the one about food) and just starting to care again, in general.
I don't know if I can do it. But I have cooked venison this year, and did an epic round of baking, while managing to keep the apartment in some semblance of order and kidlet more-or-less happy. Maybe it's that I've finally managed to shake myself of the lethargy of these past few weeks. But for whatever reason, 2015 is going to be a good year.

|A banjaxed train.
A blog about words and dictionaries, as I read the Oxford English Dictionary and post a daily word of interest.

The combination of b, j and x makes it sound as if a train is being derailed, so the picture couldn't be more suitable. I mean this could almost be considered as an onomatopoeic word!ReplyDeleteReplies
You're right Evi ... maybe this word's origins aren't so mysterious after all ... ? : o )Delete
There are many things in life that have the inevitability of watching a train wreck.ReplyDelete
I love that the Minnesota State Fair used to stage train wrecks with old engines: http://www.efootage.com/stock-footage/56975/St._Paul_State_Fair_Train_Collision/Replies

When I walked away as the Director of Operations and Policy with the Opposition Liberal's, it was with a heavy heart. I walked away from a good salary and a job that I once enjoyed.
I was frustrated with the lack of leadership, the failure to offer constructive & responsible opposition, the failure to plan for the next election and some staffing choices. The biggest issue was our House Leader's behind the scenes wheeling and dealing with the Government House Leader over resources and passing legislation
While resources were being cut for staff, the MHAs had come to an agreement on some new financial awards for the MHA's. The IEC approved a special payment of $2,500 + HST ($2,875)to MHAs beyond the established maximums of their constituency allowance limits. Only Danny Williams and Elizabeth Marshall refused to accept the "bonus". These payments could be claimed without being supported by any receipts for actual expenditures incurred In the end. The Auditor General shammed the MHA's into returning the money.
I was forced to cut jobs, while the MHA's were getting a bonus!
It knocked the good right out of me.
So much for teamwork!
I was done in spirit, long before that Sunday evening when I cleared out my office to spend some time figuring out why I am here? and how can I make meaningful change.
Since that time, I have become the poster boy for many disgruntled dyed-in-the-wool myopic hangovers in the Liberal Party. Apparently, speaking the truth to the powers that be inside the tent was tantamount to treason, doing it outside the tent makes me a quisling.
I am free of the shackles of Dogma, I am a Chretien Liberal baptized in Trudeau Liberalism. I know my ideology, finding a political home ... now that is the challenge. If Liberals want to hide the warts, dodge the tough observations and to turn a deaf ear to what is really being said, than they do so at their own peril.
Do not count on me to be propagandist for those that have refused to listen, who have driven the Liberal Party into the ground.
Frankly, I feel the Liberal Party needs workers more than they need the party. What is the Liberal Party? What does it stand for? What would it take to get me, let alone my neighbors to vote Liberal again?
I don't have an answer for that, except to say that the angry, paternalistic, noninclusive approach of the past, needs to be left in the past.
The party's parliamentary wing and extra-parliamentary must be on the same page. That means finding an approach the earns votes on the urban vote rich Avalon as well as the rural areas.
I gave up pissing in the wind. Talking to walls and accepting the status quo. It was not serving our democracy well. Danny Williams huge popularity alone did not create this lopsided democracy, a decade of missteps, of greed, of egotism and misplaced priorities left the field wide open to the rise of the New Democratic Party and Progressive Conservative domination.
Today, I attended a Renewal Meeting. I have declined to attend any of them in the past, including one for former staff because I had felt to this point that the Parliamentary wing was undoing the sincere, dedicated work of the renewal committee. One step forwards, two backwards. The failure to understand internal/external communication and organization had been disastrous.
What I heard was a room full of people that believed in social justice, in responsible spending and who had been driven away from the Liberal Party. Disillusioned with failed processes, failed leadership, and disdain for what their party had become.
Any thoughts that I have to offer about renewal can be found on these pages. I certainly can not be accused of taking any back doors.
I just can not seem to get on-board because, frankly, I am still looking for that promised renewal where merit trumps nepotism, where double dipping is shunned on and conflicting opinions are discussed, not a reason for being blacklisted, and kicked to curb.
I left today's session knowing that I was not alone.
I left hopeful for the future of a once great party... hoping that the Jurassic's will finally accept that they remain the obstacles to true renewal.
It is time to let go of the past and chance the future.
I'll keep the pressure on.

"Lo, you've made it. You're my Scott Summers, and without you, I wouldn't be here."- Lily, Addicted for Now
Links: Goodreads | Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Book Depository
Rating: ★★★★★
Synopsis via Goodreads: He's addicted to booze. She's addicted to sex… staying sober is only half the battle.
No. More. Sex.
Those are the three words Lily Calloway fears the most. But Loren Hale is determined to be with Lily without enabling her dangerous compulsions. With their new living situation—sleeping in the same bed, for real, together—Lily has new battles. Like not jumping Lo's bones every night. Not being consumed by sex and his body.
Loren plans to stay sober, to right all of his wrongs. So when someone threatens to expose Lily's secret to her family and the public, he promises that he'll do anything to protect her. But with old enemies surfacing, Lo has more at stake than his sobriety.
They will torment Lily until Lo breaks.
And his worst fear isn't relapsing. He hears the end. He sees it. The one thing that could change everything. Just three words.
No. More. Us.
Loren Hale is finally returning home after completing this rehabilitation program, but making it through rehab was the easy part. Staying sober on his own will be his true test. No one is more happier for Loren's return than his girlfriend, Lily Calloway. She has managed to abstain from sex while Loren was away, but now that temptation is standing right in front of her, she will find it harder to resist her compulsions. While these two struggle to combat their addictions, an outside source threatens to reveal Lily's addiction to the media, which could possibly ruin both the Calloway and Hale companies and even, Loren and Lily's relationship itself.
I thought I was ready for Loren's return. I was excited to see LiLo reunite and was ready to immerse myself in all the LiLo feels. But…
I honestly don't know how Krista and Becca do it, but this series just keeps getting better and better with each installment. I'm always wary when jumping into sequels because of the dreaded 'Second Book Syndrome', but there was none of that happening with this sequel because this book was AMAZING! I liked the fact that this book is told from dual POVs because it allows us to see both sides of Lily and Loren's relationship and we also get a better understanding of Lo's character. We get to learn more about Lo's childhood and his relationship with his father and we see the fears he has about possibly relapsing and losing Lily. I love, ABSOLUTELY LOVE, how the authors handled the psychological aspects of this book. The theme of addiction is handled so well and is realistic, especially Lily's because like I said previously, not many will be able to relate to her addiction, but you will FEEL her struggle as she tries to better herself and change her ways. I really can't preach enough about it, but if you're looking for mental health in NA, this is a good series to start with.
My love for both Lily and Loren grows more and more in this book. Lily faces quite a number of obstacles throughout this book. New rules established by her therapist forces her to learn how to better control her compulsions. She can no longer have sex whenever she chooses, and that includes no self-love. She is also dealing with the fact that an outsider knows about her addiction and they are threatening to share it with the world. She knows that outsiders will not understand her addiction, many may even shame her for it, and having to deal with that while trying to get better only increases her anxiety and the possibility of her relapsing. I didn't notice it before, but Lily is actually really shy, to the point where even interacting with her family is a challenge for her and throughout this book, she tries to establish a better relationship with two of her sisters, both who will eventually become two main sources of support. Loren does a lot of growing up in this book. Although he is still struggling, he starts taking control of his life now that he is cut off, demanding his father hear how hurt he feels inside which needed to happen in order for Loren to move on from the past. Lo is also willing to do whatever it takes to protect Lily, not only from outsiders, but also from herself. It's not easy for these two, but they realize that their love for each other needs to be stronger than their love for their addictions if they want to kick their cumpulsions to the curb.
Another thing I loved about this book are the secondary characters. I am dying to start the Calloway Sisters series to see more of Rose and Connor and Ryke and Daisy. They are entertaining and cause trouble, but they all love each other dearly and will protect one another at all cost!
Addicted for Now gave me all the LiLo feels and while things are not yet resolved, the progress these two have made so far makes me proud. I'm excited to see where things go from here for Lily and Loren, but before I can do that, I will be diving into Kiss the Sky, which follows Rose and Connor's relationship. It'll be a nice break from all the heavy topics dealt with so far and I've heard that the Coballoway ship is the best ship out of all the ships! Hopefully it lives up to its name!

And I hope you're happy, wherever you areI wanted you to know thatAnd nothing's gonna change thatI hope you find it
Welcome! I'm so glad you found me...:) If you have a love of DIY, crafting, thrift shopping, or vintage, then you will most likely enjoy your visit here! If you are a fellow mobile home dweller who is looking looking to update your tired, old mobile home, then be sure to check in often as my hubby and I update ours on a budget. I look forward to your visits and hope you will stay a while and browse through some older posts...:) Grab a drink, get comfy and sit a spell! Blessings....Vicky
This is so uplifting, Vicky. Thank you for cheering my soul.ReplyDelete
Vicky, I'm sending some supportive hugs your way. You are right, we blog happily away, but underneath that we are all working our way though some crisis, problem, or sorrow at most any time. I think bringing it to your blog friends is cathartic. Glad you chose to share with all of us, who support you. Sending, prayers, hugs and good thoughts your way. xo, PamReplyDelete
Vicky, I am so sorry that you are feeling down, but I am so glad that the majority if the time you are up and that you have faith in GOD, what would we do without him. It's good to share the ups and downs of life, I certainly have......and my blogger friends have been there for me too. I am envious of your warmth and sunshine. Have a blessed remainder of the week.ReplyDelete
I love your blog. I love reading blogs and I am drawn to the real life ones the most. And yes, life is full of ups and downs. I am not sure how people get through without the Lord. Sweet post.ReplyDelete
I can't believe somehow I've missed your last 2 posts! Jeez! What's wrong with me!?
This is a beautiful post Vicky, I'm glad to hear that most of the time your happy feelings win over the sad feelings. :o] Life is a funny thing... full of so many opportunities, losses, and wins. I think sometimes we just need to reflect on things like you did today.
I love how the kitchen is coming along! Isn't it fun planning and picking out things?!
It's funny, my daughter and I were just sitting here on the window seat talking about happiness.
I am the family "pollyanna", the one who always looks on the bright side. I remember from teaching that March is always the long month when you really need a break. So remember, it is less than 3 months until you will be on vacation and have long weeks of leisure for yourself.
I just loved that you shared your heart so openly with us! I am with you and also go through those up and down thoughts often. I question myself on whether I am just needy or are there things that really need to change in my life. All in all, I know I am where I am supposed to be in life....I have given it to the Lord and asked Him to direct me, so here I am! At a particularly hard time in my life recently I bought the Mercy Me CD Welcome to the New. Two songs, Flawless and Dear Younger Me touched me so deeply and were just what I needed to hear that my spirit was actually renewed. It is what I listen to in my truck whenever I drive. You can be joyful in the Lord, but not always be happy.ReplyDelete
Life is so full of ups and downs and I am glad you feel able to share your feelings on the blog. Sending you big hugs.
What a wonderful post, Vicky. Yes, life definitely has its ups and down. And yes, you are right, God is great! We have to pray for ourselves and each other. I'm sending you virtual hugs up the road, my friend.ReplyDelete
Dear Vicky, I think you summed up the joys of blogging and the real life we all live in! Ups and Downs...
Hugs, And look forward to seeing your new kitchen cabinets! xo
Bless you Vicky, if I could be just around the corner I would be at your door right now to give you a great big hug! No matter how much we see the good in life, there will be times when we feel a bit down. Sometimes we can put our finger on it, sometimes not, but you have such a wonderful family around you that can wrap you in love and joy. You take care my lovely - sending you warm hugs across the pond xxReplyDelete
Such a thoughtful post. I pray for my friends and family too and hope that they can find all the good things that bring happiness. Sometimes just knowing what you have is enough, makes the difference. Cheers Vicky and happy weekend to you my friend!ReplyDelete
Oh this was such a lovely post and yes we all have our ups & downs. Thanks for sharing the lovely photos. Good luck with your kitchen!ReplyDelete
What a great post Vicky. Your photos are so pretty. It's so true. We all have our ups and downs that's for sure. I hope you have a wonderful up weekend.ReplyDelete
I hope whatever it is that is causing you or your family to be sad is rectified very soon. Just as sure as Spring will come, this too shall pass Vicky, but in the meantime, it's wonderful to have a blog where you can share with those of us who care and are here to support you.ReplyDelete
I enjoyed this post for being real. Life has so many ups and downs and when it is mostly ups that is great. Over the last few months with my dad struggling for life, I often asked my family how do people handle this without God. I know I couldn't and He sustained us through the roller coaster ride. I am so happy that today my dad was released from the hospital without a trach or feeding tube. He is now at a rehab center. Thank you for this post and the lovely photos.ReplyDelete
My sweet friend, I am so glad you're "real!" That is what I love about you, dear Vicky, you are YOU and you are wonderful! We definitely have our ups and downs in life and every day is not always a roses and cupcakes....although we could definitely get roses and cupcakes every day - hee hee :)
I am thankful we have the Lord for He makes every day worth living - He is our strength and tower to lean upon. Love and hugs to you!
That was a very powerful post to read and I love how the photos reflected your mind.ReplyDelete
This was a beautiful post, Vicky. We haven't known each other long, but you can count me in as one of your friends too.
I hope whatever is bothering you will soon pass.
Thank you so very much for taking time to leave such kind words for me. Your sweet comments make my heart smile!
I always reply to comments by e-mail, so please make sure you are not a no-reply commenter! Blessings!

A recent release of the annual Education Next poll has revealed that the general public's support for Common Core has drastically decreased over the last few years. Not only does the public oppose the program, but the support from teachers dipped from 87 percent in 2013 to 44 percent in 2015, and is continuing on a steady decline.
Not only do the decreased percentages confirm the disapproval rate, but many political figures from both parties have termed the phrases "toxic" and "poisonous" when referring to Common Core.
Lindsey Burke, education fellow at The Heritage Foundation, told Breitbart News:
"Support for the federally financed effort has dropped precipitously from its all-time high of 83 percent in 2013. The drop in support likely reflects the fact that respondents – especially parents – believe Common Core does not provide standards that lead to a high quality education, and that they have lost their voice in what is taught in their children's schools."
Education director at American Principles Project (APP), Emmett McGroarty, focuses on the fact that parents are starting to realize that Common Core does not adequately prepare their children for college and life. In regards to this, McGroarty states:
There's no doubt that Common Core will continue to decline in popularity."
With all this proof of decline in support, one might imagine that the program would begin to see some drop in financial support. However, those who have funded the implementation of Common Core, such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, have no plans of backing away from the program. In fact, Melinda Gates has claimed they are "not even close to finished."
Along with private funding from the Gates Foundation, many corporations have assisted in funding Common Core. Click here to see a list of major businesses who have financially supported and/or advocated for the implementation of the program. Call on these corporate donors and hold them accountable for their actions. To learn more about where all companies scored by 2ndVote stand on the education issue, click here.

I get to talk about two of the coolest things in this week's QMF. First, my celeb crush Owen Pallett has a new EP out. I haven't bought it yet, but the song "Horsetail Feathers" is in the video below.
The second thing is La Blogotheque, one of the coolest sites out there. It's run by a Parisian who films musicians playing songs on the street, in restaurants, off the sides of buildings, in elevators, wherever. And if you can't read French, they have a great YouTube channel with all their neat videos.
