Matthew 6:1-6, 16-21 ~ as told by Deborah
Jesus told his disciples, "Don't go strutting around talking about how pious you are so others will be impressed; God hates that kind of sanctimonious crap.
"Don't make a big fuss over your offerings; don't give in order to gain admiration or respect. That isn't faith, but a business transaction.
"Simply give — without expecting a reward, and without insisting on recognition. The One who matters will see it and rejoice.
"And when you pray, don't be like those who carry on and make a lot of noise so that others will notice. That's not prayer, it's a performance — and having an audience is their only concern.
"Instead, when you pray, go off by yourself in a quiet place so you can have a private conversation with your Beloved, and your honesty will be rewarded.
"And when you fast, don't mope around acting weak and worn out like those who want to be admired for their efforts. I'm telling you, they've got their payoff.
"Instead, when you fast, wash your face, comb your hair, and go through your day with a smile — so that your fasting will be a precious secret shared between you and God.
"Do not collect earthly treasures that rust and rot and break down and become obsolete — mere things that thieves will steal and moths devour; but build up a store of heavenly treasures, glorious and eternal.
"For what you treasure reveals who you are."
Ash Wednesday
Ash Wednesday begins the season of Lent: the six weeks that lead us to the foot of the cross, whose terrible presence casts a shadow across the spring landscape. It is a somber season; a season of awe, of hope in the face of fear, of faith and courage, and serious self-reflection.
It is a season in which we honor the Lord Christ's steadfast commitment to God's way, staying the course of love and not succumbing to the world's fascination with violence and hate. We remember all that he taught us — and we recoil at the reality of his suffering and death.
For Us
"He died for our sake." This statement is among the oldest Christian confessions of faith; most of us have repeated these words at one time or another. But what do they mean? Jesus' death on the cross did not end death; it is still with us. Nor did his suffering eliminate the pain and suffering of humanity, we see its traces all around us, we know it well, ourselves.
Jesus' crucifixion and death demonstrate the depth of divine com-passion. His life and death are proof that the Eternal understands what we feel — and experiences it alongside us; God truly shares our suffering. For those in pain this reality can give us strength, can steady our feet, can help us to seek the light, even in the darkest night.
And this truth should give us pause: it should stop us in our tracks whenever we find ourselves willing to do harm to another. If, as we proclaim, God-is-with-us; if the Divine Nature shares our suffering, feels our pain, and knows our hurting …. Who are we cursing when we condemn another person? Who are we shaming when we mock someone? Who are we harming when we cut down, hate, and vilify each other?
It isn't only the centurions who pound nails into the body of the Lord.
Responsible Grace
That Jesus died on the cross, suffering as we suffer, dying as we die, reminds us of our personal responsibility to give life to the world. To destroy another, to despise and demean other human beings, to damage the earth… all these things do great harm to our own souls as well. To harm another is to do violence to God.
It's just that serious. We absolutely and truly do make a difference in this world — and our choices can bring great good or terrible evils.
Following the Lord
It is not an easy task, this business of being a Christian. To believe in the Lord Christ is far more than mere words, more than simply agreeing that his teachings are valid. To believe is to commit ourselves following His Way in all we say and do, in all we hope for and pray for. To believe in the Lord Christ is to live, every day, as if the Gospel Truth is true.
The coming forty days offer us an opportunity to take a deep and prayerful look at our lives, and the life of the One we say we follow. At the end of this Season we will come to the cross of Christ and, on that day, where will we be standing?
Virtual hugs and real-time blessings,
Deborah ♰
Suggested Lenten Daily Prayer
Light of the World, enlighten me.
Give me eyes to see Your glory,
ears to hear Your words,
and a heart open to Your love;
give me the wisdom to know Your Way
and the strength and courage to follow it
this day and every day.

|Freedom may not be free, but it could be a lot more cost-effective.
(Psst, real freedom really is free. Shhh.)
Someone forwarded Da-da an email about how amazing the gatling gun is on an A-10 Warthog. Sure, the thing fires 4200 30 mm rounds/minute. The 30 mm rounds are huge. And each round costs $65. Yay. But that one round is worth one dinner out for Da-da's whole family at a decent restaurant WITH a bit of alcohol. Or a week's groceries for basics. For each round. However, let's look at this expenditure a different way.
4200 rounds/minute x $65 = $273,000/minute. That's just to fire the gun for one sortie, a "sortie" being one combat flight mission for one plane and pilot.
|The 30 mm round is that big one.
Now look at the A-10's underwing ordnance at the top of the post. Let's call that an average load. Killing your brother aside, each of those four Hellfire missiles cost $58,000 each, or $232,000/sortie. And those Rockeye "Smart Bombs" (one of Da-da's favorite oxymorons)? Four of those x $30,000 = $120,000/sortie. The two medium-range air-to-air missiles are fairly cheap: only $22,000/each -- a bargain -- at $44,000/sortie. Gassed up, the plane carries say about 3200 lbs of av-gas (probably more), which is 21,760 gallons, cost of fuel is... $3.30?! It's cheaper than automobile fuel? It's 105 octane! Ridiculous. Anyway, that's at least $70,000/sortie in fuel.
One sortie for one plane costs approx. $739,000 just in boomage and delivery, not including combat loaders. Now add in the cost of the pilot, oil burned, maintenance, insurance, AAA, in-flight snack...
One sortie for one plane -- off the ground -- is at least $1M each flight. It's probably a lot more off a carrier, not that you could operate an A-10 off a carrier.
That's about as much as it would cost to send both of Da-da's boys, Bronko AND Nagurski, through 4 years of college and 2-3 years of grad school + room + board + books. And yes, that's to really good schools, obviously.
More Fun Stats
Just one flight to blow up some stuff that no one really wants to blow up (except for defense contractors and a general, or two, and 50 paid-off politicians and 10,000 energy execs) is as much as putting two kids ALL the way through bachelors and doctoral programs.
One flight lasts about 6 hours, while one four-year college + doctoral education is about six years -- a much better mpg, IMHO.
Note that there were 33,000 air sorties in Afghanistan in 2010, alone, so let's use that as an annual average. That's about $33B for just one year for one "war." It's probably double that when you factor in the fact that the government is controlling this. (Recall when Rumsfeld announced that the Pentagon "misplaced" $2.3 Trillion dollars? That was on 9/10/01, the day before 9/11. Neat, huh?)
Now, if we assume that half the $500,000 will send one kid all the way through 4 years of very good college (including luxuries like rent and food and books), that gives us about 100,000 full-ride college scholarships to top-flight schools. Probably double that. Or about 400,000 full-ride scholarships to decent colleges. FULL RIDE.
And that's just for the air war. In one country. For one year.
Every Hellfire missile fired is one semester of very good college.
Feeling pretty good about all this, yet?
|The future Dr. Bronko in a Harry Potter hat? PRICELESS.
Oh, yeah... and Common Core's got to go -- esp. its original architect.

Valentino Rockstud Shopping Tote: "Tote" lly-On-Fire
Price: $2,745.00
Where to Buy: Neiman Marcus,
Who Carries it: Minka Kelly,
Bagopedia's Rating: 4 Bags (Out of 5)
Bagopedia's Comment: Valentino started to make bags with studs a couple of seasons back. Bagopeida looked at them, liked them, but never purchased one. I knew something better would come out later. I just needed to wait for the designs to be more mature.
This time I can't miss this tote. This tote is on fire! I love the design with studs. The details are incredible. The fire red is hot (look at the PRADA flames!). The leather feel creamy and soft.
Don't the lining and the buckle look great?

Working in the IT sales industry for over 10 years, I have seen many developments and trends within the hiring of the top sales professionals in the world.
Recently there has been much talk of it being a candidate-lead market when hiring and with the emergence of new software and IT companies on an almost daily basis, there is more competition than ever for the top sales talent. Companies within the IT sector are finding it increasingly difficult to fill their sales vacancies however, how much of this is down to there being a candidate shortage? Could it be that the best sales talent is being snapped up by competitors with a slicker recruitment process?
Rewind the clock 10 years and it was standard practice to have a 5-stage interview process for senior sales professionals however, in this day and age, having such a lengthy process could actually be damaging your hiring rate and success.
Based on some of our most recent placements in the IT industry, our candidates were only actively on the market for a maximum of 8 weeks. Not only this, but many of those received multiple job offers within that time.
So, how can you ensure that your recruitment process isn't stopping you from losing out to your competitors?
Have a smooth and fast-paced process
If hiring is a big priority, you may want to consider reducing the interview process to 2- 3 stages to ensure that you don't lose out on the top talent that will only be on the market for a matter of weeks. Also, you may want to introduce a process whereby you meet as many candidates as possible in one day so that all interviewees are at the same place in the process.
Contingency plans
Are you going on holiday? Who else could interview in your place? Ensuring that the recruitment process is consistent could be the difference between securing a great sales person and not. This is a fast-moving environment and if you take a 2 week break, that person may no longer be available; and worse still, may have gone to your competitor.
Close quickly
Like a sales person you're interviewing? Why not offer them the job there and then, in the interview? If this isn't possible and you need to discuss with other colleagues, why not ask the person you're interviewing to grab a coffee and return in half an hour? By doing so, you will be able to secure your new sales hire rather than leaving it for a day or so and running the risk of them interviewing elsewhere and accepting another offer.
Be selective
Work with a select number of agencies who truly understand your business and your needs.

When Andrew Symonds was sent home from the World ICC Twenty20 in June 2009 it was foreseen by all as the end of his international cricketing career. The reason for his exile from the Australian team in the World ICC Twenty20 was for violating a clause in his personal contract with Cricket Australia (CA) that prohibited him from drinking. Cricket Australia had no other choice, but to send him home.
It is speculated that the Australian all-rounder will announce his retirement from international cricket on Wednesday.
His retirement may actually be a blessing in disguise for him. There are a several franchises and teams who would be thrilled to have him in their team. Â The Pro20 franchises in South Africa have expressed their interest and if Symonds is interested, he could earn a fortune playing in South Africa.
Deccan Chargers, the champions of IPL2009 had already made it very clear that they would retain the services of Andrew Symonds no matter what.
Queensland Cricket has also expressed their support to Symonds and seeking to have him in their team.
England is also looking forward to having Symonds as part of the English County cricket.
All in all, the statistics suggest that Symonds has nothing to lose, but loads to gain, money-wise.
However, cricket lovers all over the world will definitely love to see Andrew Symonds turn over a new leaf, quit drinking and continue to play for Australia. Let's wish him the very best!

This board spoke to me in so many ways. I had several ideas, and at the very last minute the "page 1 of 365" inspired the story of my page. The gold and black inspired the colors and products. I grabbed some black and white prints from my Bella Blvd Stash to create the background and all the layers. I wanted a little bit of color, so I dug into the embellishments from the Oh My Stars collection choosing the turquoise pieces. I found some gold frames so I tucked those in there to for good measure. From there I just added some enamel and epoxy stars, a few brads and called it a day. I love the pop of color, but mostly I love the black and white. It's clean and fresh.
My scrap space became the holiday dumping space during the month of Dec. I couldn't take it anymore. I snuck away to tidy it up. One of the items in the dump was my new WRMK silver album I chose for this years pages of memories. After I cleared out the boxes, picked up the stuff off the floor and cleaned off my desk, I set up the album and laid it on my nice clean desk. There. Now I am ready to start 2017.
Thanks for joining me and my creative view again today. Did I give you any ideas? Need some other inspiration? Head to the Paper Issues shop to pick up some new things for yourself and use my coupon code DEVRA for 20% off your order.

This weekend, my friends and I were talking about books, particularly about young adult books because most of us read them and because we were discussing what young adult titles might be appropriate and enjoyable for my friends' precocious 8-year-old daughter.
As we talked, my friend David asked why I read so much young adult fiction. My answer was almost instantaneous, "Because after I spend all day reading about slavery and oppression, I need to read things that are lighter and where good wins." He just nodded. Sometimes, I read books just to reinforce my hope and deep belief that all really is well, as a person in law enforcement David gets that.
I read for other reasons, too. I read to learn, to understand something. For example, right now I am reading Remembering Slavery, a collection of interviews with people who had been enslaved. I'm reading this book so that I can get first-person perspectives on this horrible practice. I'm also reading it to pick up the language of these people; I want to be able to hear – in my mind – the voices of Primus and Lucy and Jeffrey. Reading the dialect of other people will help me do that.
Sometimes I read to see models of how I want to shape my own work. When I read For the Time Being by Annie Dillard, I suddenly saw how fragmented essays could be the ideal shape for some of the pieces I was trying to write. Then, when I picked up The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks I suddenly understood how to write a book that involved people to whom the writer was not, at first, connected but who came to be an intimate part of her life. Skloot's book showed me how to structure myself as both part of and separate from the story I was telling.
At times, there is no larger purpose behind what I read. I want to be entertained or I want to forget or I want to remember. I think these are all valid reasons to read, as long as we do read.
There's nothing worse than a person who considers herself a writer – and I've met many – but who doesn't read. As John Gardner says, "No ignoramus — no writer who has kept himself innocent of education – has ever produced great art." To be the best of who we are as writer, we have to read what has come before and with us. That's how we learn.
Why do you read? How does it change your writing?

(AP Photo/Susan Walsh)
There's word from various news outlets, including The New York Times, of some sort of a deal in the Copenhagen climate talks:
The United States, China, India and South Africa have reached a "meaningful agreement" at the Copenhagen climate change conference, an Obama administration official said.
"It's not sufficient to combat the threat of climate change, but it's an important first step," the official said. "No country is entirely satisfied with each element, but this is a meaningful and historic step forward and a foundation from which to make progress."
"Developed and developing countries have now agreed to listing their national actions and commitments, a finance mechanism, to set a mitigation target of two degrees celsius, and to provide information on the implementation of their actions through national communications, with provisions for international consultations and analysis under clearly defined guidelines," the official said.
AP is reporting that President Obama will be speaking about this soon, and that the video will be available here.

I have some very special people and animals to introduce today!
This year, all the food donations from the Dog & Cat Days of Summer photo sessions will benefit Angel's Furever Foundation! AFF is a 501c3 organization that provides medical funds to homeless animals as well as taking in senior animals that need homes. They are particularly helpful to rural shelters who can't afford medical procedures for their shelter animals, and elderly people who can no longer take care of their dog and need to surrender them due to health issues.
Angel's Furever Foundation is run by four incredible ladies, with hearts of gold for dogs. When you speak with any one of those four ladies, they are full of uplifting stories of success where, had AFF not been involved, tragedy and heartbreak could have been the outcome.
Their very first rescue was a senior Cocker Spaniel, named Cleo, who's family was being deployed to Germany. The family discovered their dog was Heartworm positive, meaning not only did she need expensive medical treatment, but she could not travel with them overseas or enter a new country with this condition. Angel's Furever Foundation was able to bring Cleo into their rescue so that she didn't have to be placed in a shelter. They started her Heartworm treatment and after she was declared Heartworm free, Cleo found her forever home with a family that spoils her and loves her so much. They have even sent updates to her family in Germany and they are so relieved that Cleo found the caring home she did.
And then there is four year old Angel; AFF's namesake and inspiration. When the ladies first encountered Angel, she had a life-threatening heart murmur. I received a letter from Angel herself, telling her story,
"This is my (Angel's) story through a dog's eyes, interpreted by my un-furry mom. It seems like a long time ago (even in people months) that I ended up at the shelter with my friend. I still don't know why, but sometimes things just happen, I guess. My friend was adopted pretty quickly, but for some reason I was in holding for a while. I didn't know it, but I had a heart problem that was really bad. It was so bad that I could not be adopted and might have had heart failure at any time. Instead I had surgery and am now a foster failure which is much better. A lot of nice people helped pay for surgery and the vet school gave me awesome care and a discount. I had no idea why I was tired and skinny before, but boy am I making up for lost time. I can dig, bark and run in circles with best of them!
The people that helped me were worried about other dogs with stuff going on that a shelter or rescue could not pay for, so here I am as this foundation spokesdog asking for your help for other dogs like me. I am the one the really nice t-shirt you can get for donating!
My foundation's people have already helped some furry friends with serious stuff like broken bones and a bad virus. They have gone on to rescue and re-home senior dogs, too. It would be super if you could check out the website (www.angelsfureverfoundaton.org) and think about fostering or donating."
Meet Angel's Furever's Adoptable Dogs!
Melissa McGee Photography will be accepting monetary donations for Angel's Furever Foundation, as well as food donations, as part of our annual Dog & Cat Days of Summer event. Feel free to bring any donations with you to your Dog Days session, or just donate right on AFF's website.
If you'd like to meet some of Angel's Furever's adoptable dogs, or just meet up with these amazing ladies, you can catch them this fall at several events:
Garage Sale benefitting Angel's Furever Foundation in Lee's Summit – September 9th
"Cool Treats N' Furry Feets" Adoption event at Poppy's in downtown Lee's Summit – September 17th
"Dogtober Fest" in Blue Springs – October 22nd
If you'd like to get involved with Angel's Furever Foundation, keep an eye on their Facebook page! For both short-term and long-term opportunities, that is the best place to find out how you can help. From finding out when they need fosters to help shelters overflowing with animals rescued from Hurricane Harvey to when they need a foster home for a local dog, it's all there on their Facebook page.

Sometimes a plain Jane vanilla tablecloth is all you need to bring a tablescape together. White chargers are Made in China, the cranberry candles are from Home Goods as are the napkins and glassware. The centerpiece is from Crate and Barrel, the sterling ornaments have accumulated over the years. Cinnarbar Post 86 Fiesta is paired with some square decorative salad plates also from Home Goods.

BISD enrollment increases as days pass
Enrollment for Beaumont ISD's campuses continued to increase even after the district's Board of Managers/Trustees approved changing the name of the Carrol A. "Butch" Thomas Education Support Center to that of BISD Memorial Stadium. According to numbers released by BISD, enrollment for Thursday, Aug. 16, the day of the vote, was 18,066. The following day, enrollment was 18,122. By Monday, Aug. 20, the date of a threatened "sick-out" day of protest aimed at keeping students home as a sign of opposition to the stadium-renaming vote, the enrollment numbers had climbed to 18,221.
However, according to BISD spokesperson Nakisha Burns, released numbers are not reflective of daily attendance. Attendance percentages for the Monday protest day were still not available the start of Tuesday, Aug. 21.

I am curious to what standard values I should use to create a camera's projection matrix, as well as if certain measurements need to be taken if I want to represent a very small world or a very big world and make it feel natural.
What values (field-of-view, nearplane, farplane) to construct a projection matrix should be used if:
- 1 unit to represent 1 meter?
- 1 unit to represent 1 cm?
- 1 unit to represent 100 meter?

Oooh! I love these colors too! I should be sleeping now, but no - lulu has got me again! Got skinny grooves and the new reversible striped long sleeve. I love the new pretty baroque but would probably only order in crb or speed shorts. C'mon speed shorts!

The winning quilts of the Japan Quilt Grand Prix are now on site here. As you scroll down through the quilts, to get a closer look, i.e. a larger pic, just click on the red Japanese characters with the grey forward button at the bottom of each photo.
Personally I'm rather intrigued by the 'Team Honda' red toolbox.

In this case, an employee of 18 years developed kidney failure. After 2 years absence, during which his employment was protected by a 2-year termination clause, he learned that he required a kidney transplant. When he informed his employer that he required up to another 5 years off while waiting for a kidney donor, the employer applied the termination clause. The Union filed a grievance and the grievor found a live donor who agreed to donate one of his kidney's within a year. His medical specialist stated that the grievor had a good chance of recovering and would likely be and returning to work soon after the operation. The employer refused to reinstate the grievor, indicating that it would be impossible to hold the employee's position for yet another year without incurring undue hardship.
The Arbitrator allowed the grievance, holding that the employer had discriminated against the employee when it automatically invoked the termination clause without taking into consideration the employee's positive prospects for full recovery. It had also failed to prove, in a concrete manner, that maintaining the job another 12 months while waiting for the kidney transplant would lead to "a level of pervasive, irresolvable financial distress and corporate insecurity".

Thomas Rid has been doing some very interesting work (of which this is only a soupçon) about deterrence and its role in dealing with an enemy which can never be definitively defeated. In this context, he has argued that the use of force doesn't always imply a failure of deterrence but may, in fact, be a necessary condition for its maintenance.
To me this has always been somewhat reminiscent of the "tit-for-tat" strategy that Robert Axelrod found so robust in tournaments of the "iterated Prisoner's Dilemma" game and which he discussed in his remarkable book The Evolution of Cooperation.
However, I've run across an interesting historical example of a strategy that even more precisely fits what Thomas talks about. While at this weeks Society for Military History conference, I picked up a copy of Three Byzantine Military Treatises edited by George T. Dennis. One of the treatises in this volume is the 10th Century "Skirmishing," which is traditionally, though incorrectly, attributed to the Emperor Nikephoros.
The text was written at a time when one of Byantium's foremost military problems was dealing with the Muslim raiders often entered Byzantine border lands. The text advises a remarkable method of dealing with this problem. "Instead of confronting the enemy as their on their way to invade Romania, it is in many respects more advantageous and convenient to get them as they are returning from our country to their own."
There are several reasons for this, according to the author. The raiders will be "worn out" and disorganized after their raiding and plundering. Furthermore, "they are likely to be burdened with a lot of baggage, captives and animals." In addition, attacking them on their way out, would allow the "Romans" extra time to mobilize a larger force to confront and destroy them.
Most to the point, however, "attacking them as they return has this advantage…It will instill in them the fear that each time they want to invade, we will occupy the passes, and after a while they may cut out their constant incursions." [Emphasis added.] Note that implicit in this strategy is that in order to deter future raids, at least one must take place. In other words, violence must be applied in order to deter future violence.
Two caveats are in order. First, "Skirmishing" is a prescriptive book, a military manual, not a history and it is not clear (to me) that the Byzantines actually applied this strategy, though I rather suspect that experts in the period could tell us. Secondly, the editor of this book does note that whatever the military merit of such a strategy, the local civilians can't have appreciated it much!

The hamulus is always a fun find when I'm working with the students on interpretations as it really forces them to recall anatomy beyond just the maxilla and mandible. The hamulus is a small bony hook that projects off the medial pterygoid plate of the sphenoid bone (that's a tongue twister). This is typically captured on intraoral images with either excessive distal angulation or if your patient isn't a gagger – you got the image sensor extremely far back in their mouth.
The hamulus presents as an obliquely angled radiopaque entity directly distal to the maxillary tuberosity.
Here's a fun example where it was visualized on a pantomograph.
If you have any questions or comments, please leave them below. Thanks and enjoy!

about me
It all started with a dress for the Renaissance Faire. I blame the Lord of the Rings movies. But whatever it was, my senior year of high school I got it in my head that I could make a dress instead of buying one. 6 years later, I've made multiple Renaissance Faire dresses, numerous movie costumes, and even moved into sewing wearable fashions. (Although costumes will always be my first love.)
In june of 2009 I graduated from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising with a Professional Designation degree in Merchandise Product Development. Previously, I had graduated college with a BA in European History. For more information on me and my school and professional work, please see the portfolio section of this site.
This site was created to track my progress and display costumes that I have made. Since then it has grown to a gallery and a step by step documentation of my costumes and clothing, as well as a mini-research site for costumes that I am interested in.
about this site
All pictures of me and of my materials belong to me. Please ask before taking any pictures. Thanks!
I do not own Lord of the Rings nor am I in any way affiliated with with the Tolkien family or New Line Cinema. Nor do I own any of the photos of any other movie that may be on this page. All pictures belong to their respective owners and are used for research only. All pictures of Lord of the Rings characters do not belong to me in any way and can be found at Council of Elrond, War of the Ring.net or The Costumers Guide.
All pictures of the Chronicles of Narnia do not belong to me either. Most are from the Photobox which can be found here, or from NarniaWeb, which can be found here.
All pictures of the canceled T.V. show "Firefly" are not mine and can be found here
And I feel bad because I don't remember where I got the "A Series of Unfortunate Events" pictures that I didn't cap myself, but those aren't mine either and belong to the people who own them. Which is not me.
And if I forgot anything, put it this way, if it's not a picture of me or my costumes or clothing, it is owned by someone else. And all pictures are used for reference and study purposes only. Except for pictures of my costumes which are in fact, being used as examples of my work.

"Greenvale is a hidden gem. Straddling the towns of North Hempstead and Oyster Bay, the compact hamlet falls within two school districts -- Roslyn and North Shore -- plus the location offers easy access to the Long Island Expressway and Northern Boulevard.
Perhaps Greenvale is best known as a vibrant commercial hub, with Northern Boulevard and Glen Cove Road serving as its nexus. The area is dotted with shops, services and eateries, including those at Wheatley Plaza and The Shoppes at Greenvale
Traffic is a "real hot'' issue, with cars cutting through Helen, Cedar and Marion streets to avoid congestion along Glen Cove Road, says John Fabio, president of the Greenvale Civic Association. The civic group, Fabio says, has been working with both towns for a remedy. North Hempstead Town hired traffic consultant AKRF, which is expected to present recommendations in a couple of weeks. Still, traffic doesn't seem to chase residents away, as the market here experiences low turnover. So what can a buyer find? Mostly, a mix of ranch styles, Capes and Colonials on parcels that range from about 50 by 90 feet to about a third of an acre.
GREENVALE SALES PRICES. Greenvale Numbers are on the rise, but the sample size is small, according to Multiple Listing Service of Long Island data. From March 1, 2013, to March 31, 2014, there were 10 sales with a median price of $537,500, according to MLSLI data. The low price was $402,000, and the high was $692,000. From March 1, 2012, to March 31, 2013, there were four sales. The median price was $377,500, with a low of $170,000 and a high of $440,000.
GREENVALE ATTRACTIONS. Tilles Center at LIU Post is nearby, as are the Nassau County Museum of Art and the William Cullen Bryant Preserve.
The Greenvale Area is 4.7 square miles and the Greenvale zip code is 11548.
The Greenvale Population is 1,094 and the median age: 41.1.
The Median household income is $92,000 and the median home value is $557,500*
The LIRR time to NYC: is 51 minutes to 58 minutes at peak.
The School districts: are Roslyn and North Shore.

For years, with two husbands and countless doctors, my life revolved around getting pregnant. Time was counted with periods and fertility treatments. Moods were described in pain levels and not actual moods. Dreams revolves around that little plus sign on a piece of plastic that would change our lives forever. Even though I was in pain, I was hopeful, and faithful, and I KNEW that it was going to happen. I knew that I would get pregnant.
Everyone kept telling me that my time was coming. I remember calling my mom after a negative test and she kept telling me that my time was coming and I just has to be patient, because she knew that I was going to get pregnant soon. People would remind me that there was always a chance, always that little percentage of hope that would get me pregnant. My world was that little number. My world was that hope.
And now it never will. It will never happen. I am never going to get pregnant. There will be no more pluses or minuses on pieces of plastic, no more temperature taking, no more pills and sperm counts and wondering and worrying. No more of that.
And no more pain (I hope).
Was it worth it? I thought I was SO ready for this, but this person the surgery left behind? This isn't me. I don't know this barren women whose whole world of hope and faith is just...gone. What do I look forward to now? School? Adoption? Vacations? They somehow just seem....less. Less than that hope, less than that dream.
So this is me now. I get up and write and read and go for walks. Despite my slight depression over everything lately I am very much looking forward to starting the adoption process next month. I still keep my toes pink...but none of the polish seems as bright anymore. I still watch what I eat, but not because I might be pregnant. Thats the real killer. Before this...there was always that chance...that possibility, that I was carrying a little piece of me. Never again.
So I will paint, go to school, read, maybe even get another hobby. Anything to get me over this hump. Something has to be able to do that.
"Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else."

Legal footnote regarding...
-- TEHRAN -- The Iranian Supreme Court has overturned the murder convictions of six members of a prestigious state militia who killed five people they considered "morally corrupt."Are these people insane?
The last victims, for example, were a young couple engaged to be married who the killers claimed were walking together in public.
Iran's Islamic penal code, which is a parallel system to its civic code, says murder charges can be dropped if the accused can prove the killing was carried out because the victim was morally corrupt.
This is true even if the killer identified the victim mistakenly as corrupt. In that case, the law requires "blood money" to be paid to the family.
Of course, that may just be my "reluctance to accept the Islamic perspective" speaking.

MILAN (Reuters) - Spanish telecoms group Telefonica (TEF.MC) has struck a deal to gradually secure control of Telecom Italia (TLIT.MI) and its lucrative south American business without having to launch a full takeover bid.
The multi-part 860 million euro ($1.16 billion) cash and shares deal secured on Tuesday will allow Telefonica to raise its stake in Telco, the holding company controlling about 22 percent of Telecom Italia, allowing Telco's other investors, Intesa Sanpaolo (ISP.MI), Generali (GASI.MI) and Mediobanca (MDBI.MI) to eventually bow out.
Telefonica, which has debt of nearly 50 billion euros ($67.46 billion), wanted influence over what happens to Telecom Italia and its prized Brazilian mobile unit Tim Participacoes (TIMP3.SA), but at minimal cost.
Despite its own debt burden of nearly 29 billion euros ($39.13 billion) and sinking margins at home, Telecom Italia was viewed as a potential takeover target, attracting interest from Egyptian tycoon Naguib Sawiris and Hong Kong-based Hutchison Whampoa 0013.HK, while U.S. telecoms group AT&T (T.N) has also had contacts with the firm, people close to the matter have said.
The agreement ends months of speculation over the future of Telecom Italia which is seeking capital to cut its debt, but is likely to face scrutiny at a prospective break-up of Italy's biggest telecoms group as well as possible lay-offs.
Junior economy minister Antonio Catricala ruled out on Monday a government intervention to keep the former state monopoly under national control but expressed his support for a plan to sell the company's fixed-line network, Italy's most sensitive telecoms infrastructure, to a state-backed fund.
The government's decision not to intervene could have implications for other large Italian groups, such as Alitalia CAITLA.UL which is being stalked by Air France-KLM (AIRF.PA), adding to the list of large Italian groups which have been acquired by foreign shareholders.
For the time being the Spanish group has ensured its Italian partners looking to cut their unprofitable investments in Telecom Italia do not sell out to a rival.
"We believe this additional investment made by Telefonica in Telco was the price the company was willing to pay to keep its options open at Telecom Italia and keep at large any other third party that could be interested in Telecom Italia and especially its Brazilian assets," Espirito Santo analysts said.
Telefonica could push for a sale and break up of the Brazilian operations which analysts have estimated to be worth around $10 billion.
Telefonica will increase its stake in Telco via two capital increases to 66 percent and then 70 percent. Telco has control of Telecom Italia because it appoints a majority of members to its board.
The deal values Telecom Italia shares at 1.09 euros each. That is nearly twice current market prices, but below book value for two of Telco's investors - all of which have repeatedly booked losses since taking control in 2007.
Telefonica shares closed at 11.29 euros, while Telecom Italia's gained 1.7 percent to 0.60 euros.
Telefonica will use some of its shares to pay down some of Telco's debt. But its voting rights in Telco will remain unchanged at 46 percent - and it will not be able to fully buy out its Telco partners - unless the plan is approved by antitrust regulators, including those in Brazil.
The Italian investors in Telco will retain the right to unwind the shareholder pact they share with Telefonica in June 2014, leaving some uncertainty.
"The deal brings no benefit to minority shareholders since it's all at the holding level," said Stefano Fabiani, a fund manager at Zenit Sgr. "But valuing Telecom Italia shares at 1.09 euros has set a theoretical upside and if tomorrow there's any offer, that can't go unobserved."
Italy's telecoms sector is already largely controlled by foreign capital. Britain's Vodafone (VOD.L) owns the country's second-largest mobile operator, while Swisscom owns the second-biggest fixed-line player, Fastweb
Italian unions said on Tuesday the Telefonica deal was worrisome because it did not solve Telecom Italia's debt problems and may limit its capacity to invest.
The two main parties supporting Letta asked on Tuesday the government to testify in parliament over Telecom Italia. ($1=0.7412 euros) ($1 = 0.7412 euros)

So that's that. The My City, My Say consultation exercise organised by Stoke-on-Trent City Council is over.
In all likelihood, you probably didn't attend one of the 49 meetings which took place across the city.
I know this because only around 200 people turned up to the key events.
The chances are you didn't fill in a questionnaire either.
I'm told just over 900 people did.
Being brutally honest, these numbers are pitifully low given how many people live and work in Stoke-on-Trent.
Then again I'm not sure what was expected given that at local elections the turn-out in some wards in the Potteries hovers around the 20 per cent mark.
That's right. Only around one in five people can be bothered to vote to elect local councillors. It's frightening.
I was chatting to someone who did attend Tuesday night's feedback session at the King's Hall in Stoke and he blamed the lack of engagement in the My City, My Say process on a general feeling of apathy and disillusionment towards politics and politicians – especially at a local level.
I certainly wouldn't blame anyone who feels angry or frustrated at the city council – or rather the council's leaders – given some of the decisions that have been taken (or not taken) during the last 15 years.
Today's front page, for example, will certainly divide opinion…
However, it's one thing to feel fed up with the local authority's leadership and it's another thing entirely to remove yourself from the mechanisms which allow you to change what you're not happy with.
Some people have blamed the poor attendance on the fact that they didn't know the events were taking place.
All I can say is that the meetings were publicised in The Sentinel, on local radio, on social media and via organisations including residents' associations and schools.
As well as the key events, there were many other meetings at churches, children's centres and even supermarkets.
Suffice to say tens of thousands of people did know about the events but, for a variety of reasons, chose either to not read the information or not to engage in the process.
Some people may have avoided the My City, My Say debates because they believed them to be little more than a stunt, perpetrated by the council's Labour leadership, to make them seem all warm and cuddly ahead of next year's local elections.
This isn't a view I subscribe to, given the conversations I had with council officers before the campaign started. Otherwise I, personally, wouldn't have given up my time for some of the events.
What's more, if senior officers and councillors stick to their pledge of holding these consultation exercises on a regular basis then they cannot simply be dismissed as a token gesture or electioneering.
Were the My City, My Say events perfect? Absolutely not. Would I have organised them differently if they had been my gigs? Definitely.
For starters, I wouldn't have made the discussions so prescriptive or short. At times it felt like people were being rail-roaded away from asking certain questions by the very nature of the topics or duration of the chat.
It was just too 'stage-managed' for my liking which inevitably leads to accusations that big, controversial decisions like relocating the council HQ from Stoke to Hanley or the fight to give Fenton it's own town council were off limits. There was also too little time for questions from the floor.
Having said all that, this was the first time the council had embarked on such an extensive consultation process and thus it was a steep learning curve for all concerned.
It was still, in my opinion, a very worthwhile exercise because the people who did attend engaged in a high level of debate – making some terrific (and occasionally left-field) suggestions about what our priorities should be, both as a city and as communities.
This feedback, along with the information garnered by the 900 plus questionnaires, is incredibly valuable market research for the council and should help officers and politicians to better tailor policies to local priorities.
So where do we go from here? I guess that's the big question. Well, for me it's very straightforward.
The council needs to analyse the data properly and then demonstrate within the next couple of months (certainly this side of Christmas) that tangible results have come from this exercise.
They need to show that the people who engaged with the process have been listened to – and the only way to do this is to act on some of the ideas put forward for action at a local level.
Secondly, the authority must keep its promise of holding such consultation exercises more frequently than once every three or four years.
Why? Because local authorities up and down the country will be facing the same tough budgetary decisions for years to come and the need to talk to tax-payers about their priorities has never been greater.
Of course, if you still think it's all a sham and you don't like what you see and hear, you can always do something about it come polling day in May.

Our Favorite Things About Lisbon
Lisbon packs a punch. From hilly streets with cable cars to sweeping city views, there is always something to see. Portuguese culture is laid-back and the locals are friendly. There are so many reasons to stay a while.
3 dinner places in Lisbon
For brunch, head to Café Noobai, in Bairro Alto. Here, you'll get a view of the river and the bridge while you dig into eggs, coffee and bread. Depending on the day of the week, go when this cafe opens, to get your pick of a table with the best view and to avoid a wait.
For dinner, treat yourself at Pap'Acorda, above the Time Out Food Market. This is a top pick for new Portuguese cuisine, and it's a good time to try Portuguese meat dishes, delicious appetizers and wines. Ask your server about pairing with Portuguese wines, and try a vinho verde (green wine).
For checking out market food and some faster options, head to Time Out Market (open late!) for all types of trendy food vendors, in a big open-air market with long tables. The Time Out Market is located near the water and is a top attraction for visitors.
Nightlife in Lisbon
The Bairro Alto neighborhood is the main bar area near Rua Norte, with various pubs, loud bars and little holes in the wall selling beer. We found ourselves out until 3am talking with locals and making new friends.
There is also a cereal café, called Pop Cereal right next to all the bars. If you love cereal, stop by for a bowl, in between bar hopping. Or really any time (they close at 12am). Our friend Eddie made this cool video for them, check it out! Dan loves cereal so he may or may not have been here a lot. Also fun fact, Dan had a Pop Cereal sticker on his phone for 8 months – until the phone broke.
Self guided Lisbon walking tour
Our favorite thing to do in Lisbon is walk around. We kept walking all weekend. We couldn't stop. During daytime, walk around Bairro Alto's quaint yet busy streets. Keep an eye out for the famous cable cars! There is a photo op at a place called Elevador da Bica, where an old cable car is stopped permanently in the middle of the street.
Also, don't forget to try a Portuguese egg tart, called pastel de nata in Portuguese. You can find them in small bakeries anywhere! Buyer beware, they're high in calories. Make sure to walk a few extra hills after eating one.
Next, look for Pink Street, which used to be the red light district. Now it's a posh street with hotels and nightlife! Head back later on at night for some action.
In the Alfama district, we found historic architecture, lots of cafes and a tons of hills. Guess what? More lookout points await you!
If you'd like to sample some local life in a non-touristy area, check out the Basilica da Estrela, a grand old cathedral, next to a park that bears its name, called Jardim da Estrela.
To get here, walk 20 minutes from Bairro Alto, up a big hill, naturally. We enjoyed people-watching in Jardim da Estrela, and watched children's birthday parties, teenagers hanging out and locals enjoying the pretty public space.
LxFactory is a custom-built hip space with an bookstores, art, enclosed bar, cafes and more. Going when it opens is recommended, as it gets crowded. This trendy area is like a secret part, so prepare to be surprised.
The best views in Lisbon
Go to Santa Catarina, a beautiful viewpoint where you can see all the churches and red roofs from above. Called Miradouro de Santa Catarina in Portuguese, this elevated area will give you a panoramic view of the city.
We climbed hills through a neighborhood and wound up at ZamBeZe where there is another excellent view of the city from a different perspective. We sat down for a coffee here and it was a relaxing break.
Where to stay in Lisbon
We recommend finding an Airbnb or hostel near Bairro Alto or the Alfama districts. Both are charming, picturesque and near all areas of interest. We think you'll love it in either!
Lisbon charmed us, and we couldn't get enough of the friendly locals, grand architecture, cool shopping and fantastic views.
Staying in Lisbon for a while?
We have a lot of friends that have come to Lisbon for an extended stay. If you're thinking of moving to Lisbon, let us know and we can help make an introduction with someone.
If you're a runner, you'll find Lisbon's hills a challenge. Sidewalks can be slippery when very dry or very wet. We do recommend running along the water, and you can run to the next train station and take the train back to where you started, or turn around and see the view from the other side! Plus, Pacman.
If you prefer a gym, Dan recommends Fitness Hut. Beware, they'll sign you up for a mailing list and it's really hard to get out of.
✌ Becca & Dan

Know anyone who wants to buy a dining room table? It's in really great condition (only 2 years old).
It was mine at my apartment when I was single - too small for us....

Have you ever installed a fence? Holy cow. I had really no idea, first at the cost. Second, at the work of digging 42 holes for posts, and 42 bags of 80 lb. cement.
We ended up buying "middle of the line" fences from Home Depot... something like $70 for a six foot section. Add all the trimmings and you have $6,500 of fence. We love it, and it's safe for Paige... come by some time and enjoy for yourself.
A BIG THANK YOU to Scott, Joey & Ray Boom Boom for helping!! No doubt, I couldn't have done it without you! Thank you Anastasia for helping with Paige!!!!
Here are all of the pictures
I'm out.

I was Wrong
I said that you should leave stuff out so that the agent will want more.
I said that you shouldn't reveal all the why's.
I was wrong.
At Thrillerfest I got a chance to talk with Robert Astle of Robert Astle and Associates Literary Management for a quite a while and pick his brain on what it means to write a synopsis.
First of all a synopsis needs to tell all the major plot points and any important subplots. It should describe each of the important characters and important minor ones.
It should give the major plot twists, and important minor ones.
Sounds like it includes the whole book doesn't it?
Not so fast.
If you've ever read the back cover copy inside a hard cover book, or the book description on Amazon.com, then you've seen part of the synopsis. The basis for most of that copy is the author's book synopsis.
If you follow the same style as one of those descriptions, but include the important twists, and the ending, you've got it.
The only thing that you probably want to add, is a hook at the beginning of the synopsis to garner the agent's interest.
I just finished writing a synopsis for both of the books that I am peddling and I think I understand much better what's involved. The goal is to describe the gist of the story in one or two pages so that an agent can get a quick idea if the story is right for them.
If they like the synopsis, they will look at your sample writing, and if they like that, you're probably on your way.
So read a few of those descriptions, and practice your synopsis writing. You're going to need it at some point.

This is in line with everything that I've heard about synopsis writing as well. Thanks for the good advice and explaining that it really doesn't have to be as intimidating as it first seems!ReplyDelete
I think an important distinction that any writer needs to make here is to not think of agents as readers or the audience. They're not reading your synopsis for pleasure; they want to sell it. It's like trying to sell your car to someone just telling them the make, model and how comfortable it is, saying that they'll have to agree to buy it before they can look under the hood.ReplyDelete
Yup, I've heard they like it all in there too. Many don't actually read it, though, until the partial grabs them, to see if you can carry the story for novel length. So for many, the hook happens in your first page!ReplyDelete
I remember when I learned that I had to spill the whodunnit in my murder mystery in my synopsis.ReplyDelete
It was hard to do, but that is what a synopsis is.
thanks for revisiting this, doug. it really helps to continue that distillation process that the synopsis has become for me. :)ReplyDelete

6th, Harvest, 744YND
Remiel is irritated at the three stooges for drawing so much attention right before a large heist.
Kaisar was forced to ask Sturr for more alloy which Sturr and Remiel took out of his pay for the counterfeiting job.
Danton's attempts to get invitations to the party were rather unsuccessful and he believes Raizix was intentionally unhelpful.
Sturr has finished selling the sapphires off (mostly to the city guard) and is bored… Wonder what his useless nephew is up to?
All this means that the above are not ready to treat the PCs well.
They will not be a part of the plan, they will not be informed what it is, they will not get a cut.
Remiel wants them out of town while the heist is going on. To prove their competence, they're being sent to a village north of Zoa called Tarus. There they are instructed to steal a gold ring set with a large square aquamarine. The baron's name is Baron Hiero Auguste. Hiero is holding a party at his estate and almost all the residents of Tarsus will be there. He is a close friend of Werlen and one of his most ardent supporters outside of council.
The ring is located in a glass case in the great hall of the estate. There will be dozens of people in the room all night long but on days when there is no party it is guarded by at least two footmen on opposite sides of the hall. Clearly the party is the only real time for a theft.
Razix met a noble named Marcus Urala who took a liking to her, they spent the entire party together and the night ;) As she wanted to sleep with a knife she tried to borrow one from the kitchen which was refused. That night, Razix awoke to someone attempting to enter her room, she chased the culprate to the kitchen and got her knife.
Tao and Fen thought of how to make a distraction. Tao attempted to look like a servant and serve food, it failed. Then he tried to get into a drinking contest with a woman who pawned him off on her husband. He created a small distraction which was entertaining and while he was doing it, Fen grabbed the ring from under everyone's noses.
The trio then returned to Zoa. Danton asked Fen for advice about the best way for him to leave the guild, but her advice was not very useful.

The most interesting neighborhood in Jacksonville?
For anyone who is interested in the future of the city, the northern stretch of the Riverwalk and its adjacent Riverside Avenue, recently dubbed the Riverside Corridor aka Brooklyn, is an important piece of Jacksonville to watch.
Not only is it bringing innovative cultural, health, environmental, and educational improvements to our center, it is also showing the city a new form of community development.
Attracting serious plans for new buildings and renovations, this area has been quite successful in grabbing the attention needed to unite a wide variety of players from across the city.
These Major projects may make this one of Jacksonville's most interesting corridors.
