Who we are
Lavra is built on a small plateau on the northeast side of the peninsula, half an hour's walk from the sea. It was founded in 963 by St. Athanasios the Athonite and the nucleus was completed with grants from the Emperors Nicephoros Phocas and Ioannis Tsimiskis. The Catholicon is of the 10th century; the first one built in Agion Oros, frescoed in the 16th century with the excellent work of Theophanis the Cretan. Its feast day is on July 5, honoring the death of St. Athanasios. The tomb of the founder is in a chapel off the Catholicon. The monastery courtyard contains, in addition to the others, the chapel of Panagia Koukouzelissa where the homonymous icon is kept; the trapeze with frescoes by Cretan painters of the 16th century (probably Theophanis); the marble phiale for holy water and two 1000-year old cypress trees. Among the most valuable relics, many of which are kept in a modern vestry, are: a piece of the Holy Cross, the crown and the so-called robe of Nicephoros Phocas, the cross and iron staff of St. Athanasios and the heads of the martyrs Alexandros and Eustratios, as well as those of the bishops Basil the Great and Michael Sinadon. The library contains approximately 2.200 manuscripts and 30.000 printed works. Megisti Lavra is 1st in the hierarchy of the 20 monasteries.

marine mud run.
tradition from now on out.
i did it last year with some girlfriends, but this year i did it with husband.
so. much. fun.
this year, kavi did the kid run with his buddies.
the kid run is 1 mile and the adult run is 5 miles.
here are a couple before and after pictures:
i was so proud of kavi. he wasn't scared at all and totally kept up with kade, the oldest.
for days afterward, he kept asking to do it again. he had a blast!
after the kid run, we dropped nana and the kids off at home and picked up nate and chelsea.
we only got a couple pictures and none of the obstacles, but you can imagine what we went through by the looks of the after picture. i think there was 19 obstacles and a couple of them involved marines spraying you with a fire house and tons of mud.
it was so much fun with chelsea and nate. they were rockstars. we're lucky to have such good friends and healthy bodies to do fun things like this.

Fantasy Hockey: Why Bieska is a beast, Getzlaf is a dud
Dobber checks in every Monday to force-feed you the latest fantasy hockey trends. The founder of DobberHockey.com and a columnist for The Hockey News website, he long ago immersed himself into this rollercoaster world and is unable to escape.
Happy New Year! As the turn of the calendar signals upcoming midseason fantasy drafts, decisions on rebuilding or a balls-to-the-walls, all-or-nothing charge for the title, we'll take a look at the hottest fantasy players of the past month. December rankings again courtesy of Frozen Pool:
These fellas are wielding a hot stick. Take that into consideration when you go after them in trade talks...
Kevin Bieksa, Vancouver Canucks (26-4-16-20, plus-16, 21 PIM, 54 SOG) —Take a second look at those numbers from the last 25 games. If only I had the inclination to go through my Twitter feed from early November and search for keywords "Bieksa" and "sucks". If that doesn't show how fickle fantasy hockey is, nothing will.
Scott Hartnell, Philadelphia Flyers (14-8-8-16, plus-11, 35 PIM, 39 SOG) — Hartnell has had such a great year that he actually ranks second behind Daniel Sedin in roto-ranking for 2011-12. Season to date, he's sixth in plus/minus, 11th in goals, 14th in power-play points, 32nd in penalty minutes and first in hair awesomeness.
PA Parenteau, New York Islanders (9-3-7-10, even, 12 PIM, 28 SOG) — If Garth Snow didn't give this guy a chance, Parenteau (like Moulson before him), would be a top AHL scorer this season. Instead, he's in the Top 35 in the NHL. How many AHLers are in the same boat, but minus the great opportunity? Plenty. But that's hockey politics. Not a top draft pick? Already well into your 20s? Back of the line!
"Sell High" pick of the week: Gabriel Landeskog, Colorado Avalanche. Five points in his last six games pushes him over the 20-point mark. That should be enough to gain some interest in roto leagues. His plus-8 leads the Avs by a wide margin and the Matt Duchene injury frees up some more power-play time. Use that sentence in trade talks and you'll close the deal. Because more often than not, the production of a rookie remains steady or slips a little in the second half.
Somebody wake these guys up — their fantasy owners are counting on them...
Dmitry Kulikov, Florida Panthers (11-0-0-0, minus-4, 10 PIM) — Other than a three-game stretch in early December, Kulikov has not been the same player since his lower body injury. To go from 17 points in 20 games to three in 18 is ouchie. Something's up.
Erik Johnson, Colorado Avalanche (7-0-0-0, even, 5 PIM, 19 SOG) — With five points in 15 games since his groin injury and nine in 21 before that, the decline is modest. But it relates to the arrival of Stefan Elliott, who is clearly the better PP QB. As such, do not expect things to turn around this year for E.J.
Ryan Getzlaf, Anaheim Ducks (5-0-0-0, minus-6, 6 PIM, 88 SOG) — Bah, he was due for a market correction anyway, having started off at such a hot clip. Oh, Ryan GETZLAF! I thought you said Ryan O'Reilly. But Ryan Getzlaf yeah, I don't know what's going on with that guy. After four straight seasons of tallying at least a point per game, Getzlaf would need 57 points in 45 games to do it again. Certainly possible, but even if it doesn't happen he's not going to get any worse. Worth grabbing, if his owner is giving you a discount.
"Buy Low" pick of the week: Carey Price, Montreal Canadiens. The numbers: (1-6-0, 3.48 GAA, 0.889 SP). Fact 1: Peter Budaj is the backup. Fact 2: Lame-duck coach. They can't possibly stick with a coach whom the fans are against, through loss after loss. Given the above, Price will continue to play 99 percent of the games and a (hopefully soon) new coach will change some of these L's into W's. Right Bruce Boudreau? Oh, I mean…right Kirk Muller? Ah…well it's a theory that generally holds true, no?
The Wire...
Mostly short-term grabs here, but as always some potential steals...
Jannik Hansen, Vancouver Canucks (16-7-6-13, plus-8, 6 PIM, 31 SOG) —Still only owned in 7% of leagues, Hansen has really found chemistry with Ryan Kesler and Mason Raymond. In fact, his hot run coincides with Raymond's return.
Viktor Stalberg, Chicago Blackhawks (7-4-3-7, plus-3, 4 PIM, 19 SOG) — While Stalberg needs to work on his consistency, as evidenced by one-shot games sandwiching a recent nine-shot game, he has really benefited playing on a line with stars. As long as that lasts, he belongs on your team.
T.J. Galiardi, Colorado Avalanche (5-1-2-3, plus-1, 6 PIM, 12 SOG) —The recent numbers won't knock you off your chair, but beggars can't be choosers. Galiardi has seen a bump in ice time thanks to the Duchene injury and he has shown chemistry with Paul Stastny, his current linemate, in the past.
Jamie McGinn, San Jose Sharks (11-4-3-8, plus-1, 4 PIM, 25 SOG) — McGinn's hot run may be over, but he's still shooting the puck a lot and the Sharks play 13 times in the next 22 nights. He was plus-6 over his last 24 games, so he'll help you there, too.
Stefan Elliott, Colorado Avalanche (11-2-4-6, plus-4, 4 PIM, 24 SOG) — The Avs have won eight of their last 10. Is that because of Elliott's presence, or is he hot right now or is he hot right now because the team is winning? Actually, I believe that his numbers of the last 10 games will be typical of what Elliott will do in most 10-game windows that you take a snapshot of throughout his career. He'll be that good.
Curtis Glencross, Calgary Flames (14-8-6-14, Even, 2 PIM, 27 SOG) — Still owned in just 29% of Yahoo! leagues, Glencross is having a career year. He's playing with Jarome Iginla, and has been for quite some time so don't expect the streaky Glencross to hit a wall any time soon.
Jason Arnott, St. Louis Blues (9-4-3-7, even, 4 PIM, 26 SOG) —The name "Arnott" doesn't carry the same weight that it once did in fantasy circles, but he does have his moments. Even if he's slumping, he's racking up the shots on goal and he'll help with plus/minus. It makes him a great No.4 center option.

Iron Maiden @ Motorpoint Arena
For half a dozen men hurtling into their sixties, you could forgive Iron Maiden for becoming a cabaret act a long time ago. But such is the seminal NWOBHM chieftains' dedication to their incomparable legacy, that these heavy metal veterans continue to surpass themselves at every juncture.
It's been six long years since the band's last Sheffield visit – perhaps even longer since some of tonight's audience saw daylight – and the show entices the crustiest, most grizzled contingent of their diehard fanbase out from the cracks to rejoice at the Iron's return to the City of Steel. The opening salvo of 'If Eternity Should Fail' and 'Speed Of Light' – both taken from the band's latest album, and the tour's namesake, The Book Of Souls – wastes little time in captivating a capacity crowd; and it is testament to the six-piece's artistic endeavour that, almost forty years into their colossal career, these new songs sound as vital as anything from their mid-eighties heyday. The legendary triple guitar assault of Dave Murray, Adrian Smith and Janick Gers is on blistering form, but the real star of the show is frontman Bruce Dickinson, who comfortably outperforms those twenty years his junior, while barely breaking a sweat.
The younger and more fair-weather fans abandon their seats to scream along to the likes of genuine classics 'The Trooper' and 'The Number Of The Beast', but it is the recent thirteen-minute-long opus 'The Red And The Black' that soars highest. No strangers to theatricality, 'The Book Of Souls' – a cautionary tale concerning the preservation of the soul – sees Dickinson sport a Mayan death mask, as he delivers arguably his finest vocal performance of the night. Following a stunning rendition of 'Fear Of The Dark', Eddie takes to the stage to find an adoring audience in full voice – the sight of Dickinson tearing an artificial heart from the iconic, fifteen-foot mascot, before splattering the front row with its blood, is quite something to behold.
Taking into account the existence of both Metallica and Black Sabbath, it's difficult to conclude that the Leyton sextet are the greatest metal band of all time; but on tonight's performance, there can be no doubt that Iron Maiden's spectacular and hysterical heavy metal circus is the finest, most thrilling spectacle of its kind. Up the Irons.

Precise agricultural statistics are necessary to track productivity and design sound agricultural policies. Yet, in settings where intercropping is prevalent, even crop yield can be challenging to measure. In a systematic survey of the literature on crop yield in low-income settings, we find that scholars specify how they estimate the yield denominator in under 10% of cases. Using household survey data from Tanzania, we consider four alternative methods of allocating land area on plots that contain multiple crops, and explore the implications of this measurement decision for analyses of maize and rice yield. We find that 64% of cultivated plots contain more than one crop, and average yield estimates vary with different methods of calculating area planted. This pattern is more pronounced for maize, which is more likely than rice to share a plot with other crops. The choice among area methods influences which of these two staple crops is found to be more calorie-productive per ha, as well as the extent to which fertilizer is expected to be profitable for maize production. Given that construction decisions can influence the results of analysis, we conclude that the literature would benefit from greater clarity regarding how yield is measured across studies.
In this brief, we report on measures of economic growth, poverty and agricultural activity in Ethiopia. For each category of measure, we first describe different measurement approaches and present available time series data on selected indicators. We then use data from the sources listed below to discuss associations within and between these categories between 1994 and 2017.
This brief presents selected material from the Fourth African Agricultural Markets Program (AAMP) policy symposium, Agricultural Risks Management in Africa: Taking Stock of What Has and Hasn't Worked, organized by the Alliance for Commodity Trade in Eastern and Southern Africa and the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa that took place in Lilongwe, Malawi, September 6-10, 2010. We draw almost exclusively from Rashid and Jayne's summary, "Risk Management in African Agriculture: A review of experiences." This article summarizes across the background papers, with major findings grouped into three broad categories: cross cutting, government-led policies, and modern instruments.

The conventional wetsuit is designed to allow water ingress. A thin layer of water takes up residence between the suit and your skin; it is heated by your body which is fine while you are active and moving about the boat but this water layer cools rapidly if you are resting between races or need to keep still when racing in light weather. As it cools, so do you and you will not warm up until you are active enough to generate considerable body heat.
Mike Lennon has suffered for years in wetsuits like this, cold and miserable in the light stuff and between races. His approach is very different; his DrySystem suits are designed to keep water out and to reduce wind chill to a minimum thus using all your body heat to keep you warm.
To exclude water Mike has designed seals at neck, wrists and ankles which are watertight. When combining a Long John and Top he has developed a seal between the two garments which is almost completely impermeable. To minimise the effect of wind chill Mike has used a coated neoprene which sheds water quickly and completely so there is little or no surface water on the suit for the wind to chill.
The exclusion of water brings an additional benefit. Mike has chosen a neoprene with a most efficient thermal lining and this works best when it is dry, thus further improving retention of the body's heat. The seams joining the panels are glued, blind stitched and taped which renders them watertight.
The result of all these measures is to produce wetsuit garments which are very warm, especially when worn with the Racewear thermal base layer.
The current DrySystem range consists of two Long Johns, the Thermalite and the Superlite, two Tops of different thickness (2.5mm and 1.5mm) and waterproof socks.
Thermalite DRYSYSTEM Long John
Thermalite 2.5mm DRYSYSTEM Top
Wider arm fit for comfort and better performance
New upgraded bottom & knee shin fabric - harder wearing with more stretch.
For more information on the materials used in the DrySystem please go to "What's in my Suit".

Scotland Winter Mountaineering & Skills Courses
29 October, 2012 Leave a comment
It's been a while since I last posted – I have spent the last two months in North Africa investigating a potential move of home and family.
However, I am proud to announce that I am now part of a mountaineering company, The Mountain People, and will be helping out on two courses in February 2013.
If you are looking for either a beginner's Scotland winter skills course or a more advanced winter mountaineering course, then you might consider what we have to offer.
Whilst there are many courses and outfits that offer variations on the skills and mountaineering theme, we invite you to into a tight-knit community of like-minded people – friends and families – who are passionate about the outdoors. Our courses are not just about what you do in a week, but the shared journey with others, which forms and shapes us.
Have a read through the brochures and see if you agree:

Poetry Friday Pinning and Snow Chalking
And I want to say a public thank you to Laura Shovan, Author Amok, for a wonderful month of Pantone Poetry for her birthday celebration. I didn't add my words today, but have written for nearly every day this month. It's been a pleasure and a challenge. Thanks much, Laura!
For the past few chalk-a-brations, it's either been too cold or snowy to chalk on the sidewalk, so I've "chalked" for the tradition, but become a little creative as to where I've done it. Hopefully more spring poems will bring spring faster. I imagine there will be some today. I've already read one!
18 comments:
We are waking up to a very cold day in Michigan again making chalking VERY (BRrr) difficult too. I love your improvised chalk on the walkway poem. You're so smart I too can't wait for some spring chalk!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Betsy, there are more birds even though it's cold. Soon!Delete
Clever improvisation, Linda. I hope what you say is true -- more spring poems to make spring come faster! :)ReplyDeleteReplies
It's the only way to think, Jama! Something has to happen, and why not with poetry! Ha! Our snowiest month is usually March, & here it comes! Thanks!Delete
Not even Jack Frost can interfere with your wit and talent, Linda! I'm hoping for some spring-like weather for you!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Keri-and today was a great weather day! Your wish was carried out!Delete
I love the brisk (hehe) pace of this poem, Linda!ReplyDeleteReplies
Ha! You've given me a good laugh for the day, Laura. Thank you!Delete
I think we have the U.S. covered from one end to the other with PFers, so maybe if we all wish for spring simultaneously...ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes, indeed! I know you've written more than one this past week, Diane. Hopeful... Thank you!Delete
I'm ready for daffodils!ReplyDeleteReplies
Yep, me too, Carol! This weekend is not going to bring them, but next week will be warmer at least.Delete
Love the brevity and rhymes in your poem!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Mary Lee, hope your weekend is a good one!Delete
No one can ever say you're not a creative problem solver! Well done. :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Michelle, sometimes we do what is necessary, don't we?Delete
You are SO clever, Linda! I'm sending you warm vibes and chalk worthy temperatures - we have some to spare here in the desert. Love that little leaf amongst the snow. = )ReplyDeleteReplies
I think when I write these shorter poems, Bridget I think you are a huge influence. I always love how you can get so much out of so few words. Thanks!Delete

Administrative Assistant to the Senior Directors of Global Ministry
Lauren Woodall
My Story
I am an MK from Honduras, where my parents served as missionaries with the Assemblies of God. I moved back to the States for high school and have been living in North Carolina ever since. I went to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and double majored in International Studies and Spanish. It was there that I felt God tugging my heart towards ministry.
After I graduated, I interned for a year at my college campus ministry, Impact Charlotte, and then went to work at a non-profit called Samaritan's Feet for a year. I rejoined staff at Impact Charlotte for two years working with the ladies in our ministry. After my commitment there ended in May 2014, I spent the summer in San Diego interning at La Jolla Presbyterian Church working with their children's ministry.
And now I'm here! I'm so excited to be a part of the Global Ministry team. I have a heart for international missions and have been able to travel on several short-term mission trips since returning to the States. I feel blessed to be involved in an organization like TEAM that is helping missionaries take the Gospel to all nations.

What is a bit of walking in the freezing cold when there is good food waiting to be devoured? We were going to dine in Hurrican's Grill at Darling Harbor. It was a good meal where we last ate there. We went early to avoid the crowd as no reservation is taken and the queue is always miles snaking.
Gigantic platter of fresh greens with big knob baked potatoes to go with relishable sauces
Two big slabs of smoky barbeque sauce ribs to share amongst 5 persons. No stomach space to conclude dinner with desserts.
Leisure walk back to the hotel against the cold with our warm and energetic bodies.

Timing: 14-15, December, 2017
Course Outline for Incident Investigation:
Day 1
1.A Failure to learn – why we need to question our approach to understanding incident causation
2.Different accident models—is there a right answer?
3.Simple answers – why are they attractive but at the same time limited in what they tell us about why things go wrong?
4.Human bias and how this has the potential to affect our understanding and learning.
5.Human factors—what lies behind errors and violations? ABC and Human Error Analysis
Day 2
1.Organisations as complex systems and how this can help us to understand incident occurrence - systems thinking
2.Looking for explanations rather than causes
3.Interview skills – avoiding the human bias pitfalls
4.Case study—a chance to apply the learning.
Benefits of Attending
Incident Investigation
● We will discuss the concept of CAUSE and its usefulness—and consider whether a focus on
EXPLANATIONS makes more sense.
● "BEHAVIOUR causes more than 90% of incidents" - we will challenge this statement and discuss how it
may hinder rather than help understanding.
● We will provide the means for you to be more explicit with respect to the different types of ERRORS and
VIOLATIONS that might be involved in an incident.
● You will be introduced to the idea of ERROR PROBABILITY and the factors that affect this.
● We will focus on a range of issues (HUMAN BIAS) all of which have the potential to affect our
● We will consider the idea that some serious incidents might be better understood as NORMAL
consequences of COMPLEX organisations.
● You will be introduced to BEHAVIOURAL MAPPING as a technique to understand complexity.
● You will experience a lively and challenging workshop with opportunities to share ideas and network with
other delegates.

Having an understanding of the importance of workplace safety rules and gear helps prepare refugees for work in the United States. Below are two activities, provided by network agencies, which may help you to incorporate safety training into your job readiness or ESL classes.
World Relief DuPage/Aurora
Dan Peterson, Higher Peer Advisor and Early Employment Specialist, says that World Relief DuPage/Aurora developed several lessons that includes safety as a part of their six-week job readiness training course. Each lesson is taught by an ESL teacher in the daily sessions and reinforced with a once a week workshop taught by Employment Counselors. Dan shares one of the safety gear activities here:
- Safety Gear Review: "We bring in lots of safety gear and have an interactive lesson where clients examine the gear, guess its use. Participants also learn what equipment might be required and supplied by various companies and which equipment is often required, but must be purchased, by the employee." The picture of safety gear on the left shows the types of equipment that might be included in this activity.
Lutheran Family Services of Nebraska
Jessica Ploen, Career Advancement Specialist from Lutheran Family Services of Nebraska, says that she has incorporated safety training into Vocational and work-related ESL classes because a majority of clients will encounter it on the job and need to understand what it is and why it is important. Here is one of the safety gear activities Jessica uses:
- Safety Gear Race: "I put clients into two groups, and they pick one person to put the safety gear on, and the group labels each piece. The team that finishes first, wearing and labeling the gear correctly, is the winner." Clients not only practice vocabulary for safety gear in this activity, it also ensures they know how to correctly wear the gear.
Safety gear is an important aspect of safety training that may be highlighted in job readiness or ESL classes. Providing opportunities to see, wear, or touch real safety items will assist refugees in understanding how United States workplaces function.
Follow the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for more information on safety gear standards for various workplaces.
Look for our next blog post where we will discuss how teaching specifics on workplace safety can continue to prepare refugees for new positions that have specific regulations and rules on safety.
What are some ways that you incorporate safety training in your job readiness curriculum? Share with us at email@example.com!

Oh Boy, It's Cold
It's 16 degrees Fahrenheit (-9 Celsius) here, in Rochester, Minnesota. I just walked back to the hotel after dining at a local restaurant next door, experiencing the terrifying feeling of what it's like to live in the Midwest during the winter.
The short 100 steps felt as if they would never come to an end. With each breath my nose grew numb and my lungs burned with the cold air like I was inhaling fire. The wind lashed at my face and irritated my ears. I wasn't even half way back to the hotel when the low temperatures got to my bones. I started shivering and my teeth began chattering. I accelerated my steps, leaving my husband a few feet behind me. If not for my heartbeat I would believe that the blood inside my arteries and veins had frozen—luckily, I'm an RN, so I know better.
I was leery of jumping into a hot shower—I don't like the sharp, stinging pain that comes when hot water makes contact with my cold body.
If not for that local beer, cheese soup they offer during the winter months, I would probably have skipped dinner and curled up under a nice, warm blanket. However, my craving for this local soup took me out into the cold.
If you're like me, where cooking and food is a passion, then you know you don't have to be in Rochester to have this special soup. All you need to do is call Chef Johannes and ask him for his best recipe for beer cheese soup.
Since you don't have Chef Johannes phone number, I took the liberty and left him a message, asking for the recipe.
Now we wait…

ANN ARBOR, Mich. – The Calvin swimming & diving teams competed in the fun filled Water Carnival on the campus of the University of Michigan. The Knights swam against a pair of NCAA Division I schools, including Oakland.

This week we headed out on the big adventure. We stopped first at Oak Plantation in Charleston. A great rv park only 10 min. from downtown Charleston.
From there we headed down the coast.
Of course my co-pilot is always on the job!!
Through Saint Augustine to Flagler Beach. There we sat right on the ocean.
Across the panhandle and back up to Myrtle Beach. Felt good to rest after all those miles!!

Eastern US Storms Kill a Dozen, Leave Millions Powerless
A heat wave in the eastern U.S. was expected to continue on Sunday after violent storms killed at least 12 people and left over 3 million without power. Emergencies were declared in Maryland, West Virginia, Ohio, the District of Columbia and Virginia.
Overnight storms unleashed hurricane-force winds across a 500-mile stretch of the mid-Atlantic region, Reuters reported.
Storm-related incidents killed six people in Virginia, two in New Jersey, two in Maryland, and one in Ohio. And heat was blamed for the deaths of two brothers aged 3 and 5 in eastern Tennessee.
It may take up to a week for power officials to repair the outages in some areas, even as utilities in Ohio, Virginia and Maryland described damage to power grids as catastrophic.
Bob Spieldenner, a spokesman for the Virginia Department of Emergency Management, said in a statement that more than 1 million customers were left powerless in the worst outage not linked to a hurricane in the state's history.
"This is on par with Hurricane Irene," Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley said.
"This was a storm that obviously came upon us very quickly, without a great deal of notice, and the devastation that was caused is very significant," New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said.
About 1 million homes lost power in Ohio, 800,000 in Maryland, 614,000 in West Virginia, 206,000 in New Jersey, and 135,000 in Indiana.
Heat advisories remained in effect on Sunday across the southeast and lower half of the Mississippi valley, according to the National Weather Service. "It is very unsafe outdoors for those susceptible to these extreme conditions," it said in a statement.
President Barack Obama authorized the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to coordinate all disaster relief efforts in Ohio.
In West Virginia, felled trees on both sides of a train stranded 232 Amtrak passengers on Friday night, The Associated Press reported. In Illinois, dozens of maximum-security, mentally ill prisoners were transferred from one prison to another.
Emergency call centers in some Virginia suburbs of Washington were out of service, and residents were told to call local police and fire departments.
In Washington, trees felled across streets crunching up cars, and also onto the fairway at the AT&T National golf tournament in Maryland. Cell phone and Internet service and gas stations were also affected.

Distance field text rendering has many advantages compared to most other text renderingsolutions. Two of the advantages are the possibility to scale the glyphs without losing the crisp edge and less memory consumption. A drawback with distance field text renderingcan be high distance field generation time. The solution for fast distance field text renderingin this thesis generates the distance fields by drawing distance gradients locally over the outlines of the glyphs. This method is much faster than the old exact methods for generating distance fields that often includes multiple passes over the whole image.
Using the solution for text rendering proposed in this thesis results in good looking text that is generated on the fly. The distance fields are generated on a mobile device in less than 10 ms for most of the glyphs in good quality which is less than the time between two frames.

I do like Designer Toys too.
Just wanted to show my designer toys collection.

I have a little nice corner in my Master Bedroom where I display them.

Since I wrote 3 Scientists Explain Why Facts Don't Matter, the discussion around facts, fiction, and alternative facts has exploded. With Trump casting the press, except Fox News, as the opposition party, his constant tweeting of "facts not in evidence" or as the less delicate among us call them – lies, and the Constitutionally questionable executive orders signed in this first week, fear of losing our democracy and freedoms is more palpable than ever.
What can we do?
Standing with 175,000 of my new best friends on the Boston Commons last Saturday, my thoughts bounced around from hopeless to hopeful and back again. Looking at a sea of people so motivated by clear and present danger of this new administration, I kept thinking "Democrats have no power in Congress, so no matter how much we don't like it, we're stuck."
"All the speeches, signs, and pink hats in the world can't change anything." Is there any hope that a few, principled Republicans will have the courage to reject the insanity? No. A better question. Is there any hope that a few principled Republicans will have the courage to uphold the Constitution?
And then the hopeful thoughts started. While every one of the issues at stake is important, not all are equally important to us individually. Like anything else, change happens when motivated people take action and mobilize in more ways than marching. So, where to channel that action?
What's important?
For me, there are two things, voter rights, and freedom of the press. Those are the big ones right now, and they both can be helped with grassroots efforts.
Voter rights
We have 21 months to identify those states where voting laws have been and are being adopted that aim to discourage voter turnout. We can come up with an easily mobilized action plan to render them irrelevant.
All states have public records of registered voters – Rs Ds and Is – and a record of who voted in what elections. Data is power my friends. When you know who isn't voting, and who isn't registered, it's easy to come up with a strategy to change the turnout.
Election day in the US is the only day on which we are all truly equal. One Person, One Vote. My action proposal – One Person, One Voter (or more). What if we pledged to recruit at least one new voter or non-voter, make sure s/he is properly registered and has the right ID, stay in touch, and personally see that s/he gets to the polls, or gets an absentee ballot and help to fill it out if need be? We could double, triple, quadruple voter turnout.
Freedom of the press
There are so many things happening right now that I never imagined possible. But, an assault on our most basic freedom guaranteed by the first amendment to the Constitution, is the most unimaginable of them all.
Gag orders. Dissemination of lies from the White House Press Secretary. Wholesale firings of knowledgeable, career workers. The vilification of every news agency delivering critical coverage. How do we stop it?
Report, Not Repeat
This is tougher. News outlets have to adjust to the post-fact, delusional world of Trump-derland, and change how they report. What good is live coverage if you are giving voice and power to lies? What if you don't publish and repeat every tweet and speech? What if you slow down, like Keith Olberman suggested, engage a time-delay long enough to fact-check content, and then air the content complete with cited correction?
Do not participate in the Trump propaganda gameKeith Olbermann
Or what if you just didn't repeat anything that wasn't based in fact. What if you called lies, hmm…lies? What if fair and balanced didn't mean creating false equivalencies? What if all journalists, pundits, and commentators took a pledge to Report, Not Repeat?
Writing his opinion in the Washington Post, E.J. Dionne, Jr. said it clearly, "When confronted with untruths, all journalists have one and only one choice: to call them what they are. They cannot, without misleading the public, pretend that there are two sides to a purely factual question. Further, they need to avoid vague language about facts being "in dispute" when there is absolutely no question about what the facts are. Partisans might well emphasize some facts over others. But facts themselves aren't partisan."
Ratings, subscriptions, circulation, distribution, website views. Is this change really such a big risk? The fact-friendly public is hungry for it. The Trumplodites are not your audience. They are watching Fox, reading Breitbart, and listening to Rush.
So here's what we simple folk can do to encourage our keyboard warriors – pay for the content we can trust. Buy the online and print subscriptions, support and encourage broadcast news, support the advertisers who support the publishers we can trust.
Vote every day with your wallet
This is an extension of supporting real publishers. You can support advertisers whose actions align with your beliefs, and you can boycott those who don't and expose them. Just today a petition to ask Amazon to stop advertising on Breitbart came over my Facebook feed.
On January 20, 2017, more than half the country went through the Looking Glass. And we're going to need all our wits to go back through – before there's nothing left to go back to.
So now I ask you, what are you prepared to do? Things are getting curiouser and curiouser.

An exclusive prequel to Harry Potter auctioned off for charity has been stolen. Ever since J.K. Rowling's book series concluded with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in 2007, fans have long hoped the author would again bring more adventures from the world of Hogwarts. And recently they've got just that, with Pottermore, stage-play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and prequel movies Fantastic Beasts providing a bounty of wizard antics.
The idea of more stories has always been on Rowling's mind though. In 2008 she penned a prequel that followed the adventures of Harry's father James Potter and his godfather Sirius as they find themselves in trouble in the muggle world, which was auctioned off for charity. The untitled novella only stands at 800 words and was hand-written on both sides of an A5 postcard. Although short, the plot sees James and Sirius in a high-speed chase with muggle police officers and a dramatic finale where they escape on broomsticks. The postcard was sold at London auction house Sotheby's for a spectacular $32,000 and has risen in value since to be worth in excess of $77,000.
That story has been stolen from a home in Birmingham, England. A one-of-a-kind item, police have called the item "extremely valuable" and took to Twitter directly to appeal to fans of the sorcery series. Investigating officer Paul Jauncey asks anyone with any information to come forward as soon as possible.
We are asking #HarryPotter fans to help share our appeal after a rare Harry Potter prequel by @jk_rowling was stolen https://t.co/NLH79kAoLf
— West Midlands Police (@WMPolice) May 12, 2017
Rowling had no plans to turn the idea into an official continuation of her book series and the acclaimed writer is urging fans not to buy the copy if it becomes available. The main worry at the moment is that the thieves will dispose of the ordinary-looking work without realizing its potential value.
PLEASE DON'T BUY THIS IF YOU'RE OFFERED IT. Originally auctioned for @englishpen, the owner supported writers' freedoms by bidding for it. https://t.co/ljEQyyj9yY
— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) May 12, 2017
The investigation is ongoing, but it's hoped the awareness will help resolve the matter.
Being the second-highest-grossing film series of all time and continuing with five Fantastic Beasts movies, there is certainly an air of magic still hanging over the wizarding world of Rowling's creation. And while talk is mostly about prequels, we are getting new adventures for the Boy Who Lived. The Cursed Child has been a smash hit on London's West End and is now set to come to Broadway, with rumors of a movie adaptation that brings back original stars Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson a la Star Wars: The Force Awakens rife.

Robert Walker from Crossway Church in Vicksburg, Mississippi brings us this super cool pixel design — DIY LED pixels.
From Robert: Our church started looking for pre-made fixtures to build a wall of LED matrix lights. Had no idea where to start except Googling "LED Matrix Lights". Didn't find a lot of options and the ones we did find costs $700-$800 each. We wanted to fill our back wall as much as possible with these lights so we couldn't afford the options we were looking at for pre-made. Then came the brainstorm we had to build our own. We were already familiar with LED RGB tape that use the DMX controllers and power supplies, our last few stage designs used these materials, so we started asking how can we make our own matrix light fixtures using what we know.
Using the sketch we made eight (8) of the 3ft x 3 ft matrix fixtures. Each fixture was a 16 light RGB LED matrix. Since each of our controllers had 8 channels, we could use two controllers per fixture since we had 16 lights per fixture.
The pictures show 1/2″ plywood, but we ended up using 1/2″ MDF for 6 of the 8 fixtures. It was cheaper and much easier to work with than the plywood. We had Home Depot cut our 4×8 MDF into two 3 x 3 pieces, one 1 x 8 piece, and one 2 x 3 piece.
After drawing the lines on the board we took a drill and drilled two holes in opposite corners in each 6×6″ square, then took a jigsaw to cut out the squares.
Now we have the backboard, we needed to make the "inserts". To make these we bought a bunch of 6″ wide by 3/4″ thick pine boards (which measure out to a true 5 1/2″ wide) and cut them into 5 1/2″ pieces, so we ended up with 5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ blocks.
These blocks were then placed inside the squares so that there was a 1/4″ gap all the way around each block, and then using a piece of 35″ MDF that was set on top of the blocks, we placed two screws through the MDF and into each block. It's important to do this way. By placing the blocks into the squares and centering them up before screwing in the backstrap MDF piece made it so much easier to put these together.
You see what the completed raw wood fixture looks like after all the wood blocks are cut and held together by the 35″ MDF straps. They are held in place by putting one screw in each end of the MDF strap.
Remember those extra pieces we had from the 4×8 sheets. We went ahead and made three 1ft x 6ft light fixtures out of the long scrap pieces. Then off to the paint crew they went!
After paint, it was time to put together all the electronics. To make each light, we wrapped each wood block with LED tape, using GAFF tape to hold it in place. Place the beginning of the tape just off the edge of the wood block and tape the edge down, then start wrapping it around each wood block. When you get the block wrapped, cut off any excess then tape down the other end. Make sure you get a work crew together for this to make it go fast! This is tedious work and can easily be taught to any non-techy folks. Just need willing servants! Another trick is we put a weight on one end so we could hang them off the edge of our stage to give our team a good stable platform to work from.
If the wrap seems loose, then simply place more Gaff tape on the lights to hold them in place. At this point I should state the obvious that by wrapping around we wasted a lot of tape on the back of the blocks. We are open to any better design ideas! Soldering was not an option, it would have taken 2-3 hours per block to make that work. We literally spent days trying to figure out how to make the LED tape only have to go on the front of the block, but in the end, by wrapping the tape it was the best option. We did get a GREAT deal on this black LED tape. We got it for $5.80 per roll which is about half what it usually costs. God was looking out for us, because the day we started ordering parts an eBay vendor had a "factory sale" and sold it to us at this price.
Then came the fun part of wiring in the Phoenix connectors (green plugs) and getting everything ready to power up. I will say another great thing we found were these "3M UY2 Connectors" for connecting the wire to the LED tape strips. We got 1000 of them for around $60.00, but they saved TONS of time. We cut off the end that comes on the LED tape and spliced the a longer wire onto the wire pigtail to give us the length we needed to reach the controller.
To hang them on our back wall, we used hooks and eye bolts. That way if something broke, we could lift up the fixture and fix it. So glad we did since we've already had to repair one light that had a wire come loose. Looking at the photo below, we screwed a 1 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ piece of wood across the top of the fixture, and also screwed in a 1 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ piece of wood to the back wall. Then using hooks and eye bolts they hang freely.
If you are interested in building some of these and need some help, don't hesitate to contact me. Our team would love to help out a fellow church. This is a fairly complex job if you've never done LED tape designs before. Since we already had most of the controllers and power supplies we needed, we did this entire stage design for around $1800. Here is the breakdown
175 Black LED 16ft tape – $1000
Lumber – $250
Wire and connectors – $200
Extra controllers and power supplies – $350
The entire project took 19 controllers and I believe 6-8 power supplies. Of course if you need to buy these from scratch that would add an additional $1600 to the total costs, making this project around a $3400 project, but to buy these fixtures retail would have tripled that costs easily.

When you've slept in or you're just super busy in the morning, the one thing that gets sacrificed is usually your breakfast. You might pick up something on the go and eat it at your desk or worse still, you might pop into McDonald's. I hate it when this happens and I end up feeling guilty or I binge for the rest of the day.
These oats are really popular at the minute and there's tons of recipes out there to try. Here's the recipe I've been having over the last few weeks. It takes about 5 minutes to prepare, it make two portions and there's very little cleaning to do after. Bonus!
There's two portions in this jar, you just have to divide it in two, if you can. When I'm really busy I just eat the whole jar without the additional milk or bananas.
I made this dairy-free, so I replaced the yoghurt with an Alpro velvet vanilla dessert and the milk with almond milk. If you weren't told you'd never know, it's so tasty and creamy.
overnight oats
40g porridge oats
1 vanilla yoghurt
20g whole chia seeds
10g flaked almonds
10g sultanas
65ml (3rd cup) milk
2 bananas
50ml milk (x2)
add the oats, yoghurt, seeds, almonds, sultanas and milk in a water tight container or jar • mix well • place in the fridge overnight • the next day place half of the mixture in a bowl and stir in 50ml of milk and 1 chopped up banana • repeat this the next day
without the additional milk and the bananas this has 462 calories, 231 per portion

Giant asteroid to pass between earth, moonNovember 8th, 2011 - 1:02 pm ICT by IANS
Moscow, Nov 8 (IANS/RIA Novosti) A 400-metre-wide asteroid will Tuesday fly past earth, closer to it than the moon's orbit.
The asteroid will pose no threat to Earth, NASA says. It will not be visible without a telescope.
NASA scientists have been tracking the asteroid, named 2005 YU55, since Friday.
"The asteroid 2005 YU55 cannot hit Earth, at least over the interval that we can compute the motion reliably - which extends for several hundred years," said Lance Benner, the asteroid's principal researcher at NASA.
The aircraft carrier-sized asteroid will make its closest approach to Earth at 23:28 GMT, at a distance of 325,000 km. It is the closest this space rock has come in 200 years.
NASA's Goldstone Observatory in California and the Arecibo Planetary Radar facility in Puerto Rico will scan the asteroid during the close pass in a bid to identify its path and substance, and where it may go in the future.

A Conversation With Nicolas Winding Refn About The Neon Demon, Narcissism, And Elle Fanning
Beauty becomes the beast in the new fashion thriller The Neon Demon, opening in limited release this Friday. Elle Fanning stars as Jesse, a wide-eyed teenager left on her own to navigate the dark, competitive world of the Los Angeles modelling scene. Jesse's indescribable star quality captivates designers, photographers, and gatekeepers, even as her rise draws the jealousy and hunger of her modelling peers. As Jesse embraces her perfected image, the fashion world becomes an all-consuming monster in this film that reserves its worst horrors for the most beautiful.
The Neon Demon is the latest from Danish provocateur Nicolas Winding Refn, who rose out of the European art cinema circuit to international fame with the Ryan Gosling film noir Drive. Refn has a gift for colour, composition, and controversy—his last film, Only God Forgives, was met with boos at Cannes, and debates about the merits of The Neon Demon have already begun. Ahead of the film's release, Refn sat—or, more accurately, stood while holding intense eye contact—with us to talk about narcissism, beauty in the Instagram age, and how he lived out his fantasy of being a 16-year-old girl through Elle Fanning.
[Editor's note: This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.]
The attitude of The Neon Demon feels oriented to a young audience, but the world that Jesse inhabits feels out of time: There's no social media or Instagram in the film, and she's not taking pictures.
Nicolas Winding Refn: There is no malady in the film. There's no drugs, there's no alcohol. There's no technology. That would be too much a mirror of our time, and I wanted to make a movie about the future. In general, the film's subject matter is very futuristic. Narcissism as a virtue, for example, is very futuristic. Narcissism as a quality is where I think things are heading.
What do you think the quality of narcissism is?
Full acceptance of one's self.
As opposed to Elle Fanning, a lot of the actors in the film are models. How did you communicate on set so that everyone was on the same page?
Well, it was all about me and Elle. I shoot films in chronological order. So scene one, scene two, scene three. Shooting this way automatically changes the film. The most important thing was Elle and me. When I hired her, I was 44, she was 16. And I said to her, 'I always wanted to be a 16-year-old girl. I never was, so now I'm going to fantasize it through you. And I want to make a horror film about beauty.' Elle was happy to hear that—she wanted to make a movie about beauty for her generation. I told her that I think her generation is moving into something that's very interesting—partly, that narcissism is a quality. I grew up when it was a taboo. But creativity is narcissism. Creativity is falling in love with one's self as you create. It's self-indulgent.
How do you reconcile that sense of creativity as an artistic drive with the inherently collaborative nature of working in film?
I think when you make a movie, one of your main focuses as a director is to inspire everyone else to give their best. Like manipulation.
How do you manipulate people when you're on set?
You ask actors what they would like to do, and you constantly keep them engaged. You want their engagement, input, and sensibilities. It's that intimate collaboration that is actually directing. I don't like the mechanicalness or coldness; I like the intimacy. It's like we are creating a child together, and the child is called Jesse [Fanning's role in The Neon Demon].
Since you did this in chronological order, how did the story develop as you were making it?
Well, the ending was always the same ending. It was just how I got there that was interesting to me. I do that in all my movies. I shoot them in chronological order because I love fear, and fear breeds creativity. It forces you to react instinctively, which is the essence of movement. Movement is a creativity—a sense of an emotional movement. And the more instinctual you can make that, the more pleasurable it is. It's like an infant drawing. You're completely uninhibited because creativity is a wonderful expression. Good or bad, who cares? That's part of the past. The act of creativity is what's interesting. The future is not about what you do, it's about what you stand for.
Was there anything that particularly drew you to Elle versus other young actresses in her generation?
There's no one else. She has the thing. A very unique, God-given quality that just makes you stand out—makes you better. And that's a lot of what the movie was about: It was finding someone who has that thing. So it was very challenging and I was very lucky because I was casting unknown girls in L.A., but I couldn't find anyone who had the thing. My wife had seen a lot of Elle's later films and said she was really good, so we started talking about her, and then I got a fashion shoot of her set, and instinctively, right away, I knew it was going to be her.
Let's talk about the relationships between the women in the movie. The characters' antagonism doesn't necessarily track with how a lot of women relate to each other. Part of that is maybe the revival of feminism among women my age.
So women your age are not competitive?
I'm not competitive with my friends, no.
How old are you?
You will be. Because it's part of everything. Especially if you want to be in the industry of entertainment. Do you think you're beautiful?
Do I think I'm beautiful? Some days. If I'm looking in the mirror, I think I'm gorgeous.
See, that's different. You represent the narcissistic age as a virtue. People in my generation would never say that because it seemed to be negative because you're no longer, I should say, grouped. Individualism comes out of narcissism. Aleister Crowley—do you know who that is?
Aleister Crowley was a very interesting philosopher at the turn of the century. He believed that it was a sin not giving in to your desires, where it was the other way around in order and society. We have qualities that we don't give in to. There are pleasures we don't seek, because it's abnormal. But his theory was the exact opposite. So it's interesting to hear that you fundamentally think the power struggle between the women in the film does not apply to your generation.
I just don't relate to it.
Well, that's the difference. The difference between relating to it and it not existing.
So you think human nature is inherently competitive?
Of course. How else do you survive?

It isn't often you get to utter the words, "Hey, I've stood in that women's prison shower!" But that's exactly what I said while watching the trailer for the Netflix dramedy Orange Is The New Black, whose set in Queens, NY, I visited earlier this year.
Based on Piper Kerman's 2010 prison memoir of the same name the show was cocreated by Jenji Kohan, of Weeds fame, and stars Taylor Schilling, Jason Biggs, Laura Prepon, Kate Mulgrew, and Natasha Lyonne.
Netflix will release the entire 13-episode debut season on July 11, but you can check out the (some nudity- and raw language-featuring) trailer below.

I am in the process of completing my dissertation at the University of California, Davis. I am generally interested in the convergence of labor, capital, and the environment in the nineteenth century. My main focus is on the production and consumption of leather in New York throughout the nineteenth century with an emphasis on the environmental effects of the tanning industry in the Catskills and Adirondacks. My research also uses leather as a lens through which to view the history of capitalism in the nineteenth century, especially the development of complex financial instruments that facilitated rapid, unsustainable growth within the industry.
I am currently completing my research and writing with the generous support of the Forest History Society through the Walter S. Rosenberry Fellowship. In the last few years I have served as a Graduate Student Researcher for the UC Davis Mellon Research Initiative for Environments and Societies, a project that builds cross-disciplinary collaboration in the environmental humanities and humanistic social sciences to undertake the broad rethinking of human-nature interactions that are critical to meeting the environmental challenges of our era. In 2012 I was selected as the Peter J. Shields Library Special Collections Fellow where I worked with the Special Collections Department to highlight some archives that might be of interest for social science researchers.
In addition to my research and employment obligations at UC Davis I teach at institutions of higher education around the Bay Area. I have taught a variety of courses including: U.S. History to 1865, U.S. History 1865 to Present, US History 1945 to Present, The US in the 1960s, California History, World History to 1500, World History 1500 to Present, and The West and Its Traditions. I have taught both face-to-face and online courses. Most recently, I have held teaching positions at UC Davis, Mills College, and Solano College.
I am also an active participant in labor and social justice movements at the colleges and universities I have worked for. While at UC Davis I served as the unit recording secretary for UAW 2865, the union that represents academic student employees at the University of California. I have also served on the bylaws and elections committees. At Solano College I served as the chair of the Solano Adjunct Coalition and as one of the elected adjunct representatives to the executive board of the Solano College Faculty Association, the bargaining unit for full- and part-time faculty. At Mills College I have participated in meetings for the newly organized adjunct union represented by SEIU.

Well, almost.
Following up on the news last weekend that three Anglican bishops had crossed the Tiber, Patrick McNamara has an intriguing look back at the first Protestant bishop to do that since the Reformation. He was Bishop Levi Silliman Ives, from North Carolina. He joined the Catholic Church, along with his wife, in 1852. And, at a time before such converts could be ordained as priests, no one quite knew what to do with him:
For an Episcopal bishop to become a Catholic layman was no small step. There was the question of how he would support himself and his wife (who also converted). The American Catholic bishops felt a sense of responsibility for Ives, and they gathered a collection for him. One historian notes that they even discussed ordaining him a deacon and sending him to North Carolina as a sort of vicar to oversee Catholic life, but nothing came of this.Ives moved to New York, where Archbishop John Hughes appointed him to the faculty of St. Joseph's Seminary in the Bronx (on the present-day Fordham University campus). His home on 138th Street in Harlem became a meeting place for converts. Ives also taught at Manhattan College and the College of Mount St. Vincent.
It was in charity work, however, that he found his real niche as a Catholic. He served as President of the local chapter of the St. Vincent De Paul Society, a lay organization created to help the poor. In 1863, he founded the Society for the Protection of Destitute Catholic Children, which opened the New York Catholic Protectory to care for homeless orphans.

After three post-work cocktails on Thursday night, I decided I needed a haircut. Like, immediately. So, I wandered on over to the $13 walk-in hair cutting joint at College and Bathurst. There was no-one waiting and I hopped into a chair right away.
As soon as I heard the hairdresser speak, I knew she had to be from Thailand. She was, indeed, from Northern Thailand but she had lived in Bangkok for many years as a hairdresser before coming to Toronto. We chatted about Bangkok while she cut (rather too much of) my hair.
Since then, I've been thinking a lot about the city. The four days I spent in Bangkok last fall were mostly overlooked in my travel blogging because that destination was nowhere near as exotic or scenic as some of the other places I went afterwards. But, Bangkok is absolutely a really exciting, colourful and interesting place. It has just the right balance of charming and rickety vs. sleek and modern to appeal to me. I hope to go back some day.

Oh, it's really not worth showing off. An undeniable $13 cut that sticks up weirdly at the back.

As retirees in NY, you might consider some of the retirement communities. The Catskill mountain area looks pretty attractive when you visit. And still an easy drive to NYC.In New Jersey there are retirement communities around Jamesburg and near Englishtown. Easy access to the NJ turnpike or trains to NYC. Easy access to the NJ shore. Easy access to Philadelphia.THx for the specific tips, Paul. Since I don't know how long DD/SIL/GC will live in Manhattan, I don't intend to buy property there yet. If they (and my son in Eastern MA) stay put, we'll look into retirement communities in our late 60s/early 70s. Till then, probably rent a condo, possibly in a 55+ community. I have a preference for a place near the train, so I can visit the kids/grandkid easily even if I/we become too incompetent to drive to the city. (DD lives in Harlem now, so at least there's fairly easy free parking.) I was kinda hoping they'd move to a drier climate (or "dire," as I just typed!), which would be better for my health, but like Mick Jagger sez, you can't always get what you want. And we do like the beach and the sea, even though we don't like high humidity. And I love NYC--I grew up just outside it, so it feels like home to me.
