It felt different and strange but also fun and new and hopefully a good omen to the start of my 30s. I am 30. It's hard to believe.

|01. 09:16am, hotel
I wake up to a lovely breakfast surprise from Lou! First off, she woke up way too early and set out to bring back coffee and a croissant and it was just a nice and perfect way to start the day.
02. 10:20am, Hennessy Road
And because I'm trying to catch up on my kilometres this month and because I always try to jog when I'm away from Singapore just to get that map pin on. But it was nice to start 'healthy' and a quick 3.5K jog around the city centre was difficult but fun.
03. 12:29pm, Wan Chai MTR station
and we're off. We're so lazy that we got saved from a molotov cocktail incident on the train the day before and now we're off to do nothing in particular but have fun nevertheless. I wish the MTR had English audio.
04. 01:15pm, GOGYO
In my quest to have noodles (for long life) on my birthday, we tried taking a number for the extremely long queue at some Michelin-starred Chinese restaurant. But because I hate queues and love Japanese, why not go for ramen instead? All good!
05. 02:38pm, Kate Spade
And here we are in the black hole that is this store. It's always such a tempting place with the cutest details and it was such a tempting place. I probably went back to the store every time we passed it, and it was a lot. My resolve was weak.
06. 02:48pm, GROM
Even if they got my order wrong, it was great to have a cold snack in the very cold weather and just not care. I love getaways even if they end too quickly. Macadamia + lemon isn't the best combination but it was a really nice snack.
|07. 03:33pm, COS
So other than the fact that this store is another black hole, more importantly, is Lou's bag. She got it as a wedding favour at a friend's wedding and it translates to, "The answer is love." which can be cheesy but also bring out the feels.
08. 04:04pm, AIA Carnival
We didn't actually head to the carnival and for the first time I didn't ride a flyer I saw but it was nice to to be out in the sunshine and cool weather and just revel and relax for a little bit. I love ferris wheels and I think they always add something lovely to the skyline.
09. 05:15pm, St. Francis Street
The lovely part about not travelling alone is sometimes I don't have to think of what to do. And Lou found this really charming little street with very hipster stores all in our neighbourhood! Not bad at all! This gallery/bookshop/cafe was too precious.
10. 06:19pm, hotel
As we get older, the body needs breaks from all the gallivanting so we take a pre-dinner break back at our hotel before heading out to dinner. And since Lou bought me a cheesecake, we do a pretend blowing of my candles right there. I can't imagine blowing out 30 candles.
11. 09:36pm, El Mercado
Because this trip had zero itinerary, we'd research places to eat while at the hotel and this place was a Japanese-Peruvian fusion restaurant that turned out pretty swell. All the tapas were amazing -- I wish we had eaten even more and the drinks were superb (doesn't hurt that the bartender was cute, too).
12. 12:11am, Pawn
So my bonus photo is from the day after technically but we decided t be hp and go to another bar after dinner and clearly, we were too tired to drink but still trying. It's all in the effort, I think. Not bad for my 30th.

Yogi Bhajan was born in India
Yogi Bhajan was born in India, raised in the Sikh Tradition and declared a Master of Kundalini Yoga. He broke with the long-held tradition of silence when he came to the west in 1969 and openly taught Kundalini Yoga: one of the world's best kept secrets.
Yogi Bhajan committed the rest of his life to spreading the Teachings. He taught in many countries around the world, sharing unconditional love and challenging people to really face themselves and to have the courage to live to their full potential.
Over the years he emerged as a religious, community and business leader with a distinguished reputation as a man of peace, world-vision, wisdom and compassion.
His legacy lives on through the numerous classes and Teacher Training Schools that now serve the worldwide Community.
He left his physical body on 6th October 2004.

Toya: "See Beyond What's Shown on TV"
Toya reveals how being on TV has changed her.
This week I feel like blogging about the positives of Married to Medicine. Mariah's idea for a reality show has sky rocketed and I give all thanks to God, the viewers, the producers, and Bravo. I never imagined that the lives of doctors' wives would be exciting to watch on television. Mariah had an eye and saw in all of us a great cast, and when I auditioned for the show, who would've thought the producers would see in me what I never saw in myself?
Television was never my dream, but writing has always been something I loved doing. This show is providing a platform for my nursery book series, which I'm sure you'll love. It's a series based on motherhood and the challenges of first-time moms and mothers of two or more. It also highlights the unconditional, true love you can only experience through Motherhood. I guess that's why I was so offended and took it very personal when Mariah thought I would do anything to hurt Lauren. As you can see, by Episode 8, I had had enough of the foolish accusations.
Being on television has also helped me to develop a tougher skin like no other. I thank God I knew who I was coming in, because the public sure can draw a strong opinion based on small snippets of my life. I will also say that I have developed relationships and experienced things I've never experienced before. It has been such a learning experience. I pride myself on being pretty laid back and very transparent, my close friends would have to agree. I never wore makeup, could care less about what people thought, but now I find myself wearing mink lashes and eyeshadow. Ha!
Going forward, I'd like to ask my fans to see beyond what's shown on television. See the love I have for my family, see how faithful I am to my friends, see that, like you, I am not perfect. I make mistakes just like everyone, but it's cool, because in those mistakes I bloom into the rose God created in me. I have done many foolish things in my life, but I am thankful for the lessons and triumphant endings. I hope that in the coming episodes you will see that the plots/whiles of the devil never have any validity. Look for PROOF, because some of my castmates love to throw shade. Or, just tune in to my Bravo Blog or www.toyabushharris.com for the real...

Lyst launches Specialist Intelligence Unit to keep trainer lovers ahead of the pack
Jan 28, 2019 | By Nigel Taylor
Feb 08, 2012
Pre-Fall Collections are always a great preview of what we can expect to see on the Fall Runways, and based on we've seen the upcoming season looks promising.
Below are Stylesight's picks of the best items from Pre-Fall 2012 Runway and Presentations.
Issey Miyake
Issey Miyake updates the classic ankle boot with novel color blocking patterns and constructions. Round single sole lasts looks fresh with nude + color combo and wooden round heels.
Jason Wu
Modern feminism shines with classic black patent uppers and asymmetrical details. The single sole pump returns for another season with an off-set ankle strap. Heeled loafers look delicate with minute contrast bow and scalloped details. Spectator design elements and Op-art inspired uppers are standout items.
3.1 Phillip Lim
Ankle boots are always a Fall season favorite, and Lim's take on this staple is key. Understated elegance with block heels and single sole lasts, with zipper upper close and moc stitch details. A wedge construction with the same upper creates the urban feel the designer is known for.
Louis Vuitton
Luxury and opulence are center and front at Louis Vuitton. Ankle strap details are seen across all item categories, as well as last season's single sole pointed toe constructions. Cap toes are embellished with jewels on gold metal casing. Fur covered pumps will be an editorial hit with their off-beat silhouette, all the while evoking the Vuitton glamour. –Jenn Tello

With John Wick: Chapter 3 right around the corner and the entire criminal underworld on his tail, John Wick needs a new gig to escape New York.
Author: James Ryan
Wrestling's two greatest performers are going to go at it for a fourth time next month. Here's the recap.
New York artists ZillaKami and SosMula are not only clinically insane in a mental way, but also in a musical way.
This year's XXL crop is one of, if not the most varied lists of artists ever for the cover spots. Alas, there's only 10 spots to get. These are the best people. This is the best timeline.
Man. Myth. Legend.
xxxtentacion dropped two new songs with a sound I don't think we've ever heard from him before. I can't complain.
For the first time ever, seven men are going to walk into the Elimination Chamber on Sunday and only one will walk out with the ticket to face Brock at Wrestlemania. These are the seven implications of each possible winner.
NXT features some of the best wrestling in the world today and it hurts me to know not enough people give it that attention it deserves.
In a crazy return to form for my dumbass writing style, we look at the claims of Queens' Action Bronson and Dos Equis' Most Interesting Man in the World to figure out who really deserves the latter's title.
The Eagles won the Super Bowl, but I'm not too knowledgeable about football, so instead, I'm gonna celebrate all the dope parts of Philly that I can relate to.

Tracking warming trends
Nature Climate Change
The arid and semi-arid regions of the northern mid-latitudes - land masses in Asia, Europe and North America - have experienced the fastest global warming since 1990, as reported in a paper published online this week in Nature Climate Change.
Land surface warming began in the subtropical and subpolar regions of the Northern Hemisphere, where, between 1950 and 1985, warming bands expanded and subsequently merged to cover the entire region. Warming does not occur in a uniform way through time and space, and understanding how it evolves will allow better evaluation of potential impacts as the warming trend continues.
Zhaohua Wu and colleagues use a nonlinear trend-detection method to determine the spatial pattern of global land surface warming. This method estimates the numerous components of natural climate variability and subtracts them from the data. It allows the data, a temperature time series, to determine the trend. From this, they find that the northern mid-latitudes have warmed at a rate close to 0.3 degrees Celsius per decade, whereas the Southern Hemisphere subtropical region has only warmed at about half that rate.
Many studies have assumed linearity in the evolution of warming but this study highlights the nonlinearity in its acceleration during the twentieth century.

As you may know by now, J.D. Salinger is dead. I hope that wherever he is now, he's happier than he was here.
My thoughts, however, didn't turn so much to the author as they did towards his most famous creation, the sullen teenage anti-hero, Holden Caulfield. I never really liked Holden, to be honest. I thought he was a spoiled brat who really needed to lighten up. He would have thought I was a complete and utter phony, I'm sure. But he spoke to an audience that, in 1951, I'm sure a lot of people didn't even know existed – disaffected teenagers.
If you were a teen in the '40s and '50s, your literary peers were probably very little like you. Unless you were a Hardy Boy and off solving mysteries, you were probably mostly worried about problems that were pale shadows of adult problems – getting a job to pay for that new car, impressing the girl you like, balancing work with leisure time. The transition from youth to adulthood was a given, as far as most storytellers were concerned, and very few of them gave any thought to the existential crisis that defines being a teenager.
For those of you who don't recall, here are the central pillars of teenage psychology:
1) Nothing that you don't already know can possibly be worth knowing.
2) Everything sucks.
3) Nothing will ever change.
Okay, maybe not all teenagers, but I'm pretty sure that covers a large percentage of the population. And I don't think that's really changed, ever since the concept of the teenager was invented. It's a nebulous world, a time with far more responsibilities than a child has, and far more freedom than an adult is allowed, and that can mess you up if you're the type who thinks a lot about these things.
Unfortunately for him, Caulfield (and by extension, Salinger) was just that type. When the book came out, and for decades after that, he became the touchstone character for teens who looked around at the way they were presented in the media, at the way their peers tried to behave and their parents pressured them to be and asked, "Is this really who I'm supposed to be?" Holden understood. Holden had been there and thought the same thoughts that you thought, and was a character that you could rely on. Yes, he was essentially unreliable and wholly unlikable, but you could at least come back to him when you started to worry that you weren't living up to the perfect image of what a teenager is supposed to be.
In this day and age, though, is Holden Caulfield necessary anymore? I would maintain that he isn't.
In the 21st century, if you're a disaffected teen, there are websites and forums just for you. There are decades of rock and roll that Holden would have loved if he'd been born just a little bit later. Largely thanks to Salinger, Disaffected Teen Fiction is practically an official sub-genre of Young Adult Fiction, TV and movies try harder to address the actual problems of adolescence, and it is, by and large, much easier for a teenager these days to find others who are going through the same existential quandary that he or she is.
True, the Fictional Teenager still exists, kept alive by the best marketing drones that Madison Avenue can buy. And even the Disaffected Teen has become a market of its own. But the fact remains that there are still outlets for people who question themselves and their place in the world. A 21st century Holden Caulfield doesn't have to drop out of school and wander New York City looking for hookers and validation. All he has to do is go to a bookstore or start a LiveJournal and he'll find all the validation and meaning he wants. Hookers are a little more of a challenge, though.
So perhaps it's time for Holden Caulfield to relax and slouch off into that phony sunset. While he may not be able to catch all those children who are coming through the rye, there are now a whole lot more people trying.

Following is the abstract from the paper that summarizes the results of the study.
We present performance and fairness analysis of two TCP-
based (GridFTP and FDT) and one UDP-based (UDT)
big data transfer protocols. We perform long-haul performance
experiments using a 10 Gb/s national network, and conduct
fairness tests in our 10 Gb/s local network. Our results
show that GridFTP with jumbo frames provides fast data
transfers. GridFTP is also fair in sharing bandwidth with
competing background TCP flows.

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Maya AngelouMaya Angelou's words resonate with me, especially when I think about the teachers I have encountered over the years - as a student, a parent and as a fellow educator. In last week's reflection I talked about my two most memorable teachers - one whom terrified me and the other whom I loved. These memorable moments in my education were not created due to lesson plans or set curricula, and I don't remember particular things they said or did, but rather I remember the way these teachers made me feel - about myself and school in general.
Our lectures this week in What Future for Education? centred around interviews with Professor Alex Moore, author of The Good Teacher. He did not believe this was a question we can answer and quoted Deborah Britzman saying that teaching '...is an ongoing, endless process of becoming.' He suggests we would be better served focusing on good teaching and what this entails rather than thinking there is one archetypal good teacher we should all strive to be. In his book, Professor Moore refers to three discourses, or ways of understanding, what a good teacher should be: The competent craftsperson, the charismatic teacher, and the reflective practitioner.
The use of criteria to assess teaching performance is very common and if you are an educator you have no doubt encountered such tools. Often they will use rubrics to classify teachers from novice to master in a series of different competencies, such as planning and preparation, the classroom environment, instruction and professional responsibilities.1 While there is nothing wrong with wanting to clearly articulate some of the many skills that are important to teaching, there is a tendency by some to think that if all of these skills are in place then you are there - the Master Teacher - no need to learn anything new. It also infers that that is all there is to being an effective teacher, as set of skills that once mastered makes you a good teacher. This discourse does not usually include qualities like empathy and kindness, but rather focuses on measurable skills such as communication and student management.
The discourse of the charismatic teacher is most popular in film and television depictions. These teachers connect with students and understand them, which in turn engages the students and enables them to learn and achieve. While this idea has merit in the necessity of teachers to try and know their students, to appreciate their individual needs and the context in which they live, Professor Moore believes this to be a dangerous discourse as it seems to suggest that a good teacher (or good school) can 'fix' any of society's problems. It can perpetuate a notion of a 'saviour teacher' who will reach the deprived children and make everything alright. The other problem he notes with this discourse is that new teachers who try to be like these types of teachers will not succeed and be left feeling inadequate.
Moore's last discourse is the Reflective Practitioner. This is the discourse I am most comfortable with as it aligns with the idea that teachers are lifelong learners who are continually striving to become better at what they do and have a positive impact on their students. While this discourse is gaining ground, and as an IB PYP teacher, reflection is an integral part of my practice, Professor Moore notes that we need to be careful when we define what reflection actually means. Often, teachers are asked to reflect as an evaluative process at the end of a lesson or a unit, but are not given the time to carefully consider what this means and how they might do things differently to improve next time. In order for reflection not to become another checkbox at the end of teaching, it must be 'future-oriented'. Meaningful reflection should focus on what we are going to do differently next time and what will the impact of this be on student learning.
In The Good Teacher, Moore suggests that we need to take reflective practice and develop it further into what he calls, reflexive teaching. Reflexivity asks us to challenge our assumptions and think about teaching and learning within a wider context, the complexity of the classroom and society. Challenging assumptions is a very difficult thing and cannot be done alone, the need for collaboration as a part of reflexive practice is paramount. Being a reflexive teacher asks us to be open and honest about what we do and how we interact with students. It challenges us to face our assumptions and to focus on the needs of our students. It is a process of becoming, a continual evolution, there is no end point.
What makes a good teacher? Well, it is quite obvious that I am drawn to the discourse of the reflexive (or reflective) practitioner. One of the great assets of working in an IB school is the central role of the Learner Profile in all that we do. I believe when we talk about good teachers, we can turn to these attributes as a framework to assist our reflections.
Good teachers strive to be:
Inquirers - continuing to learn about teaching and learning, researching and wondering about their craft, sharing their enthusiasm for learning with their colleagues and students.
Knowledgeable - about their subject, about issues and the world in which they and their students live.
Thinkers - using critical and creative thinking to design learning engagements that will engage and challenge students; analysing students' learning to assist with their next steps;
Communicators - who listen to students and provide clear feedback for learning; they share their insights with students, parents and colleagues.
Principled - treating students, colleagues and parents with respect and dignity; act with integrity and honesty, and treat students fairly.
Open-minded - they appreciate that their students and families come from diverse cultures and backgrounds and are open to leaning from different points of view; while understanding themselves and their own beliefs are will to grow from colleagues' different approaches and ideas.
Caring - they see their students as whole people and care for their well-being. They show empathy, compassion and respect to students, parents and colleagues.
Risk-takers - approach uncertainty with confidence and are willing to explore new ideas and innovative strategies; they integrate appropriate technologies into their practice, even when they are not experts in its use.
Balanced - maintaining a work-life balance to achieve well-being for themselves and others; modelling for students the importance of caring for all aspects of their lives and our interdependence on others and the world in which we live.
Reflective - being objective in self-assessing our practice and learning from it; becoming aware of our strengths and weaknesses in order to improve and, as a result, have a positive impact on student learning.
I want to be a good teacher and I know this will be an ongoing process. I do not expect to ever arrive at an end point, declaring, I am done, I am now the best teacher I can be. Rather, I see becoming a good teacher as a journey with series of pit-stops along the way to reflect on my practice and its impact on others. Our school has been focusing on the mantra, Know thy impact, which is a fitting way to begin 2017. I hope in ten years time my students will look back an remember our time together with a smile. I hope they remember that I cared about them and shared my enthusiasm for learning.
1 These examples are the domains outlined in the Framework for Teaching by The Danielson Group.↩

July 16, 2017/ Summer NL Lord's Prayer 5// First Congregational United Church of Christ, Ashland, Oregon // Rev. Christina G. Kukuk // "Teach Us To Pray: Making Concession"; Psalm 103:8-13; Luke 11:1-13; Mark Berry version of Lord's Prayer
Among the books in which I can lose myself for hours is PostSecret: Confessions on Life, Death, and God. It's one of the collections curated from Frank Warren's PostSecret, a public art project begun in 2004 when he first invited people to share their secrets with him on one side of a postcard, mailed to his Pennsylvannia address. The particular collection on my shelf specifically includes, well… confessions on life, death, and God. Some of them are funny. One confessor draws a bright pink pig, decorates it with pastel six-pointed stars and the words, "I'm starting rabbinical school, and I love bacon!" Others are more poignant. One of the first Frank received said, "I'm a Southern Baptist Pastor's Wife. No one knows that I do not believe in God." And in the same stack, Warren keeps a postcard of its opposite. "I'm an editor for a large online atheist newsletter and I believe in GOD!!!" (with three exclamation points) Even after moving this analog project into the digital universe, there is no sign that the impulse people have to accept Warren's invitation to confess their secrets will abate any time soon. (Pause)
When I look through these postcard confessions, I can't help thinking of words Jesus says in another place: "You will know the truth. And the truth will set you free." Confession takes that knowing a step further to make it concrete. Tell the truth, and "the truth will set you free."
But it's interesting that at the same time changing technology is making possible a surge in confession in popular culture – with PostSecret or bare-all blogs or serial podcasts – (there seems to be no limit to the ways human beings are trying to expose themselves to the world) – at the same time this public confession surges in popularity, many Christian churches quietly folded it away in an ancient drawer. Traditionally, every Christian liturgy had some moment of confession and absolution, some air-time dedicated to telling the truth, out loud, about the brokenness of our world and of our ways, some getting more and some being less specific about individual sins. Yet many of Jesus' followers have more recently left prayers of confession out of their corporate worship services for a host of reasons, and rationales do vary. Some of them I really do understand. Some of the early church planting literature said, if what we're selling is good feelings, talking about our screw-ups doesn't feel good, so let's leave that part out. (That's the "customer is always right" philosophy, that's capitalist consumerism taking over the church.) There are other reasons, though, for why we struggle with how we confess, how we admit what we might call "sin" together as a group: We don't believe people are inherently bad. (I agree.) We don't buy into original sin. (Me neither.) And depending how religion shaped you – whether Catholic or Baptist guilt – plenty of good reasons to move away from shame-based forms of religious coercion. (Praise God and Hallelujah! That's long overdue.) But I feel the absence of confession not as freedom but as constraint. Often I feel we leave worship a few sentences short of the whole truth about who we are as human beings on this planet. And I wonder if some of the contemporary impulse to bare body and soul online is rooted in a widespread loss of the kind of community in which we can really tell our truth – especially the broken parts – and be reminded of unconditional love, over and over again. (Pause)
Throughout this summer series, I've been using – and you've been hearing – Luke's version of the Jesus' Prayer. And Luke's version is shorter than Matthew's version. Luke's version is much briefer. It doesn't have that line about heaven. But Luke's version I notice that forgiveness gets the most air time. "Forgive us our sins," he prays, which quite inconveniently forces us to admit we have some. It's a confession. It's a confession grounded in God. "Forgive us our sins as we also forgive those who have wronged us." No less than John Calvin says that line is not quid pro quo but assurance: Just as we have experienced ourselves the glorious release of forgiving others their wrongs against us, of letting the weight of resentment and bitterness go, Calvin says, so can we be confident that God just as eagerly forgives us. So I love how in Paula's song that phrase is in the past tense: "As we have been forgiven by you, help us to forgive others, too." To tell the truth about our human limitation and then to hear back the truth told about God: that God's love is infinite and Divine power greater than we will ever know. To heal those broken places. To mend what is fractured and make it whole. That's been an essential practice of the people who learn from and follow Jesus. (Pause)
Any given week, the list of ways that I myself and my own human race disappoint me can run long. There's something about coming together to name those things as "we," as "us." I was amazed back in January that one of our Native American neighbors could stand in this chancel back in January and to share his story for the Interfaith MLK, Jr. celebration. That he could stand in a Christian church and talk about love when part of his story is that it was Christians who tried to obliterate his family's heritage and spirituality, language and identity, through the "Indian schools." There's a lot that we need to confess. So this communal confession and invocation of forgiveness – that first person plural – matters. It really matters. William Willimon and Stanley Hauerwas write, "We are conditioned to think of sin as a personal problem, a private slipup… Yet the most interesting sins we commit are utterly corporate and communal." There's that radical first person plural again. (Pause)
As long as our lists feel some weeks, there is something about coming into this space that doesn't leave us confessing our sins, but helps us move on. Barbara Brown Taylor writes, "There is something powerful about kneeling with other people and saying true things about our failure to live up to God's high call, but if all we do when it is over is climb in our cars and go our separate ways, then I wonder if God really cares." She writes that where it's made a difference for her is when another person helps her remember the thing she wanted to do to change. That's when she realizes church offers something more: a place where members as expected and supported to be about the business of new life. True repentance, she writes, "calls whole communities to engage in the work of repair and reconciliation without ever forgetting their own culpability for the way things are." We start it with this simple and complicated line: Forgive us our sins as we also forgive those who have wronged us. (Pause)
Some church planter I've read writes a story about a worship service that is written by the people more than the pastor. In this church, the different pieces and parts of the worship service are shared, assigned to someone each week, including the prayer of confession. This pastor tells a story that one Sunday, a younger person newer to Christianity stood up to lead the prayer of confession, but began by explaining that the roommate had gotten the call, written the message on a note, "Brad. You're on for the prayer of concession this week." And then he begins to pray. "Oh God, we concede… We concede our attempts to hold onto power…" He goes on, line after line, conceding our human attempts to control, conceding that we fall short. By the end of the prayer, there is this beautiful affirmation of God's grace and love that can hold all of that and begin to make it whole. It made me wonder what might happen here at Ashland UCC if we got crazy and invited different people to write a prayer of confession for us each week. Three groups this summer are dreaming, are imagining… If we listen to what Spirit is saying to us this Spring, if we listen to those insights gathered in little groups of three over those 100 Days of Discernment in which we met and talked and prayed… these three groups are imagining what we might look like in 5 years if we let God make us this community that is transforming and reconciling and equipping people to journey with the radical Jesus of this prayer. The pastor's story made me wonder where we might make room for the kind of truth-telling that is honest about who we are, but also about who God is. (Pause)
I started the sermon thinking that at the end I'd have to make my own confession: That I hit up against a limitation last night, and that I have no end to the sermon. (Pause) But I think there is one. In Jesus' Prayer, we concede. And one of the first things we concede is that we can rule the world, that we are God. We concede our limitations, our failings, our faults. "Forgive us our sins," we say. We aren't left alone, though, to do that in some anonymous, even if artful, PostSecret project way. Jesus' Prayer helps us make confession and gives us a community in which to hear God's forgiveness affirmed back to us every day. We don't just gather here to tell the truth about our brokenness. We gather here to tell the truth about God's love, over and over again. That kind of truth-telling sets us free.
May it be so as we dream about our future together, too.

Commemorating Neversoft closing down with a look back at their seminal video game.
Anyone who hit a certain age and cultural taste at the same time as I did will be just as upset to learn of the closure of game developers Neversoft this week – 20 years after they were founded – to be absorbed by Activision-owned Infinity Ward; I expect they'll be working on Call of Duty 36 before long rather than one of Neversoft's older, more original games, but it was one of their earlier hits which I can honestly say is responsible for one of my all-time nostalgia pangs.
Neversoft took over the Guitar Hero series of games from its third instalment onwards, and while I had a lot of fun playing those games, they weren't made for me; I was already in bands – and that's quite probably down to one of their own earlier games!
The first time I booted up a copy of Tony Hawk's Skateboarding on the Playstation, everything about immersive gaming came together so beautifully for me, starting with the drum roll intro to the first song on the soundtrack as I rolled down that ramp in the Warehouse for the very first time. ('New Girl' by the Suicide Machines, but you knew that already because you own that album as a result of this game too, right?)
I couldn't afford to buy many games when the Playstation came out, so something had to be really, really special for me to risk it. I didn't buy this game myself either, to be honest, but it was the very first really, really special game that also turned me onto the whole 'alternative' thing. I was already on my way to buying punk rock albums and dressing a certain way – but playing the first Tony Hawk game really made me feel like there was all that cool stuff out there waiting to be discovered.
It's from 1999 so the graphics have obviously improved these days but back then it looked gorgeous, and in playing terms I felt like there was absolutely nothing like this game out there at the time: fast and furious gameplay, actual mastery of controls to be had (unlike the usual button-bash-fest we were getting from beat-em-ups at the time) and the concept of levelling up skill points to prepare for the harder levels. The first Hawk game also gave me the one key thing that I never had the patience for with games before: practice, practice, practice.
I wanted to get better at this game for a variety of reasons. I wanted to see every board design, play as every character, try every move. I also had a bunch of rather competitive friends at the time and wanted to see if I could beat them at H-O-R-S-E. (I never could; as much as I practiced I still had, y'know, a life compared to most of them.)
Most of all, it was just cool. It made me pay closer attention to games and music, not realising until then how beautifully they could come together like they did. I saw a good three or four bands that were featured on that soundtrack (including The Suicide Machines in about 2002, whose singer introduced 'New Girl' by saying "anyone here play VIDEO GAMES?") and bought up all the cool skater stuff I could get my hands on; it's safe to say I made some…interesting fashion decisions at the turn of the millennium.
But that's the whole thing about learning to express yourself: if something comes along at the right time with just the right amount of potential, and the right amount of craft and care put into it by the people who love it and embrace it and want to see others sharing in those experiences – games, music, books, it doesn't matter – then it's really something special.
The Tony Hawk's series, and the first one most especially, did that for me.
Plus Guitar Hero was pretty sweet for a while, until they started taking the piss with all the band add-ons.
Thank you, Neversoft, for giving a young man something to obsess over after school and at weekends with his friends. And for putting 'Bulls on Parade' in GH3.

They are 7 and 8 years old. The Percheron Draft Horse originated in La Perche France. It was the main draft horse in the US before the tractor.
These horses are on the Recovery list at The American Livestock Breeds Conservancy ( ALBC) and a come back for small farm and homesteaders.
Here they are enjoying their time off.

Still, it is quite difficult to transfer music from iPod to Windows Computer even in the latest Windows operating system, Windows 10. It's true users of the latest OS X Yosemite can share music from iPod to Yosemite with AirDrop if their iOS is the latest iOS 8. Users of Windows 10 seem to be not so lucky as those of Yosemite.
Updated on Oct 19, 2018
Just like Windows 8, Windows 10 also allows users to burn music, pictures, and videos to DVD with Windows Media Player. To burn video to DVD, your video files must be in AVI, WMV and MP4 which are playable by Windows Media Player. If your videos are in the format like MKV, FLV, MXF, MTS, M2TS, or some MP4, AVI, WMV files which are not playable by Windows Media Player, you will not able to burn video to DVD Windows 10. Another inconvenience with Windows Media Player to burn DVD in Windows 10 is that it does not support customizing your DVD like add DVD menu, add music track to DVD, etc.
Want to extract audio, sound or music from YouTube and save it as MP3? Do you still use the complex way of first downloading YouTube videos then converting the YouTube video to MP3 by VLC? The true fact is that your life can be more easier and you can save more time to accompany your family or friends with the help of YouTube Audio Extractor.
4K video is no longer limited to digital television and digital cinematography. More and more cameras support 4K video recording; more and more computers and hard video players support 4K video playing; more and more video websites offer 4K video uploading and playing. We have to admit that 4K video will domain the digital video area like HD video in the near future.

PHUKET: A framework to deal with longstanding problems at Racha Yai Island, particularly coral damage and wastewater, was drafted at a meeting at Phuket Provincial Hall yesterday morning.
To prevent boat operators from damaging corals by dropping anchor on them, 20 more moorings will be added, though their locations have yet to be determined, said Tanet Munnoy, director of the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources.
The move is in response to video taken in early October which documented anchors wedged against corals (story

TD Ameritrade building earns efficiency award
TD Ameritrade's new headquarters tower in Omaha has been recognized for its efficient design that includes numerous features to conserve energy.
The $250 million, 12-story tower opened last year in west Omaha. TD Ameritrade said Tuesday the U.S. Green Building Council gave the building its highest platinum rating for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.
The building includes sensors to turn off LED lighting when workers aren't at their desk or if sunlight is available, and rainwater is captured and reused in toilets.
There are also solar panels on the tower's roof, a rooftop garden on another part of the building and four wind turbines.
TD Ameritrade officials say the environmental features cost more up front, but they will pay off over time because the building uses significantly less energy.

One Whole Hour!
What did you do with your extra hour today? Did you enjoy sleeping in? Did you find a little quiet time? I got to spend a little extra time with Duane and I had an extra serving of warm coffee. It was way too nice.
The Weather Outside is Frightful!
Boy we sure did pick the right date for the Fall Market, didn't we? I always get a little nervous with our "early winters" and seemingly topsy-turvy weather. I hope you had a chance to come and enjoy the day and the festivities. It was wonderful seeing so many of you, even though I was running around like a mad woman with my hair on fire most of the time. I still managed to thoroughly enjoy the day and I want to thank our visiting vendors, the amazing staff at LTD 7, our food truck, musicians and my dad and brother for the vintage cars. We made some money for a cause near and dear to my heart and everyone I spoke with had a blast. That's what counts!
Don't forget, when it rains, check our Facebook page for rainy day specials! We typically feature rain boots.
Is It Too Soon for a Holiday Blog?
I had some friends comment on Facebook about Costco's really very extra special early Christmas decorations, and that was weeks and weeks ago. Too soon, for most of you, and I have to agree, but…I have to share a secret…many of us in retail have our holiday items ordered in Januray and ready as early as July , so we get a little antsy as soon as Fall hits. Bear with us. We love the holiday season and sometimes it is hard to hold back. I have tried to be as patient as possible and I am not going to blog about the season—yet. But I am working on a post that I think you will like. I will share it in the weeks ahead.
What Can't Wait!
I just have to tell you about two great events I am working on so that you can at least add them to your calendar. On November 14, 2014, we are having our annual Sparkles and Sweets event. It was so much fun last year! The event will be held from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm Friday, November 14, 2014. I am fast at work on that endearing event, and once again, would absolutely love to see you. You will find our store decorated and full of everything you might need for gift-giving, guest vendors, demos, many great discounts and the ever popular drawing for our MONEY TREE!
Please mark your calendars for an evening of fun in the downtown area on November 14th.
And, we all know what Thanksgiving means…in retail…it means the official start to the shopping season. I know…I know…the Halloween decorations are still up. But this ear Thanksgiving falls later than usual so we have to be ready! Please plan to come see us on November 29th for Small Business Saturday. There will be great sales and a day that honors all of us working in small, local businesses. I am sure many of you are going to be shopping on Black Friday (and I don't blame you)…but don't forget about us on Saturday, our fabulous specials and unique gifts for everyone on your list on the very next day.
A Vintage Thanksgiving!
Now that we have the LTD 7 housekeeping out of the way, let's talk turkey. Okay, not really "turkey," but I wanted to share a sweet project that you can begin today and do all through the month. We are only one day late and we can make that day up if you start today.
Gratitude Lists: Make One Today
Have everyone in your family start a sheet of things they are thankful for this month. Write down one thing every day. Keep them on the fridge with one of our strong bottle cap magnets. Leave a little room for cutting them out just before Thanksgiving. Don't let anyone see what is being written. Fold them or store the sheets in envelopes.
On Thanksgiving Eve, cut them all out and place them in a bowl. Folded. As you sit around the table, have everyone take turns reading them aloud and sharing. See if your guests can name who wrote them. If you have people coming from out of town, have them fill out one or two or three papers too so they will be included.
I have done this before and it is a wonderful way to share our thankfulness. It reminds us of all the many blessings we have, big and small and it is a delightful way to share amongst our family and friends.
Walnuts, Anyone?
If you have plans to buy or shell walnuts this season, think about saving the ones you see that are slightly open on the top. You can have the kids spray paint them gold or green or whatever color matches your décor and make name cards for the table. While most of us don't need place cards, it is a fun and inexpensive project. I have also seen walnuts spray painted and stacked into beautiful centerpieces, as pictured.
Use What You Have
The nice thing about vintage and repurposing for the seasons is that we can "use what we have" in unique and unusual ways. Perhaps you want to use your blue and white china and want to find a way to make it look like a Thanksgiving table. The picture above does just that!
Maybe you have old metal buckets or vases that would decorate nicely with sprigs of yellow and orange marigolds or hold small pumpkin. Or perhaps you have some spare burlap that would make a table runner this season. Decorate a bit differently this season and watch your creativity soar. It always boosts my mood to do something a little different, even if it is adding leaves and string to my napkins.
Changing things up doesn't have to be expensive. Use what you have; then buy more if you need to.
On the Road Again
I will be on the road again late this week to pick up MORE great items for the store. I know I sound like a broken record sometimes, but I want to remind you of the many ways LTD 7 can meet your shopping needs as we approach the "season of busy."
Please plan to make LTD 7 a frequent stop in your travels for the holidays. Don't forget to check out our booth at the Antique Mall, too, if you are over that way. There is always something new and unique there, too and items are updated weekly.
Stay tuned to Facebook, Instagram and this Blog as the holidays get closer for fresh new ideas for gift-giving, gift baskets and those small, unique and treasured gifts we all need to purchase. Don't forget to check out our Online Store and our Facebook sales each week as you can shop from the comfort of your home and we have some amazing sales and deals twice weekly. You can pick up many of the same items you see in the store and many new and first run items online. If you miss one of our sales, you can still buy, the next morning Items in our Facebook sale are online for one week while supplies lasst.
LTD 7 strives, as always, to make your shopping as stress-free and as pleasant as possible and we are always here to serve you.
I am so very thankful for YOU! You are what makes my dream possible!

It is a barren and rocky island, except for the plain on the base of the peninsula that is formed on its southeastern side, behind the characteristic traditional settlement extending along the eastern-southeastern beach.
It has a maximum length of approximately 4km, an area of 4.6m2 and a maximum altitude of 460m.
The major capes are Aspros Kavos on the west coast and Pnimenos on the northeastern terminal.
Telendos is accessible by boat and visitors can wander around on foot to discover corners rich in archaeological treasures.
The island's architecture is a characteristic example of the traditional Dodecanese architecture and the settlement of Telendos has been declared traditional.

Why react to a breakdown when you can prevent it? While not every equipment failure occurs from components wearing out, many do. Keeping up on your equipment maintenance can help keep you from finding yourself with broken-down machinery when you need it most.
That's why Hotsy Carlson offers scheduled maintenance plans to keep your pressure washer and other cleaning equipment working properly. We know CLEAN – and we know that your priority is to keep running efficiently, effectively and safely. Let our expert staff work with you to develop a scheduled maintenance plan that keeps up with your usage. We'll explore a number of different factors and learn how much you use your equipment. This will allow us to create a plan and schedule when visits should occur, allowing us to keep your equipment running great so you can trust it to work properly at every job.
During each scheduled maintenance appointment, our staff conducts a thorough inspection and cleaning of your machinery. We plan visits on a schedule that fits your needs and minimizes any downtime or impact on your operations.
