Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.
― Neale Donald Walsch
"The deepest secret is that life is not a process of discovery, but a process of creation. You are not discovering yourself, but creating yourself anew. Seek therefore, not to find out Who You Are, but seek to determine Who You Want to Be."
― Neale Donald Walsch
"The purpose of relationship is not to have another who might complete you, but to have another with whom you might share your completeness."
― Neale Donald Walsch
"True masters are those who've chosen to make a life rather than a living."
― Neale Donald Walsch, Conversations With God: An Uncommon Dialogue, Vol.
Glorify who you are today, do not condemn who you were yesterday, and dream of who you can be tomorrow.
― Neale Donald Walsch
"Start telling the truth now and never stop. Begin by telling the truth to yourself about yourself. Then tell the truth to yourself about someone else. Then tell the truth about yourself to another. Then tell the truth about another to that other. Finally, tell the truth to everyone about everything. These are the 5 levels of truth telling. This is the five-fold path to freedom."
― Neale Donald Walsch, Conversations With God: An Uncommon Dialogue, Vol. 2
"Stop looking all over the place for "the answers" - whatever they are - and start looking for the questions - the inquiries which are most important in your life, and give them answers. You do not live each day to discover what it holds for you, but to create it."
― Neale Donald Walsch
A life lived of choice is a life of conscious action. A life lived of chance is a life of unconscious creation.
― Neale Donald Walsch
I think that's a result of just a general increase in speed of the vibration of life itself.
― Neale Donald Walsch
As told in Friendship with God, if we simply decided to believe and act as if first, we're all one, and second, life is eternal, it would render virtually everything we've done all our lives pointless.
― Neale Donald Walsch
As the new spirituality begins to become the pervasive spirituality of the planet, we'll find that we have abandoned our philosophy of contradictions in which we say we're all one but continue to try to win.
― Neale Donald Walsch
It is the great sadness of our species that we have not found a way to eliminate the conflict and to eliminate violence as a device to resolve our conflicts throughout the entire history of the human race.
― Neale Donald Walsch
The new spirituality is that it will produce an experience in human encounters in which we become a living demonstration of the basic spiritual teaching 'We are all one.'
― Neale Donald Walsch
A great many people experience the movement from one century to the next, but a minuscule number of people experience the movement from one millennium to the next.
― Neale Donald Walsch
I was told to challenge every spiritual teacher, every world leader to utter the one sentence that no religion, no political party, and no nation on the face of the earth will dare utter: 'Ours is not a better way, ours is merely another way.
― Neale Donald Walsch
And because we are, somehow, better than they, we get to go to heaven and they don't. Christians will tell you outright that they believe that.
― Neale Donald Walsch
And in which we say that life is eternal but continue to struggle to survive.
― Neale Donald Walsch
Because our choices are largely based on survival. But if life is eternal, life is not a question.
― Neale Donald Walsch
God is in the sadness and the laughter, in the bitter and the sweet.
― Neale Donald Walsch
I think the new spirituality will be a spirituality that's not based on a particular dogma. And that steps away from the old spiritual paradigm that we have created on this planet, which comes from a thought that there is such a thing as being better.
― Neale Donald Walsch
There's no way you can misunderstand the teachings of the Qur'an, there's no way you can misunderstand the teachings of the Bible, there's no way you can misunderstand the teachings of the Bhaghavad Gita, or of the Book of Mormon, or of the other sacred texts of many of those religions.
― Neale Donald Walsch
And we're seeing a higher level of consciousness and many more opportunities for people to challenge their present ways of thinking and move into a grander and larger experience of who they really are.
― Neale Donald Walsch
As we move into the 21st century, there's what the Bible calls a 'quickening of the spirit.'
― Neale Donald Walsch
Beyond the Catholic exclusionary paradigm is a larger one which is the Christian one. Christians claim that if you don't believe in Christ, you can't get to heaven. Well that eliminates two thirds of the world's population!
― Neale Donald Walsch
I think in metaphysical terms, I would call that increasing the speed of the vibration of life.
― Neale Donald Walsch
I think that things happen individually first, and then collectively. It's not the other way around.
― Neale Donald Walsch
I'm calling my book series the 'with God series.' And this next 'with God' book is Friendship with God, which comes out in November. This books challenges us to bring about the end of 'better' on this planet.
― Neale Donald Walsch
If we win, someone else loses. But if someone else loses, we lose. Which is a point we're not getting. The new spirituality will make this just painfully obvious.
― Neale Donald Walsch
It graduates to 'our state is better than your state,' and 'our nation is better than your nation.' And it circles all the way around to where it started: 'Our God is better than your God.'
― Neale Donald Walsch
It'll become obvious that we've really been working against ourselves.
― Neale Donald Walsch
It's a very small and select slice of all the people who have ever been born. I believe we've come back during this time, those of us who are here now, specifically to experience it. And to cause a 'quickening of the spirit.'
― Neale Donald Walsch
Nothing has done more to separate and divide human beings one from another than exclusivist organized religion.
― Neale Donald Walsch
One either has to believe in a God who's terribly prejudiced, or disbelieve the teachings of such exclusionary theologies. Religions have taught us that 'we are better than they.'
― Neale Donald Walsch
The new spirituality will also base itself on a third very large spiritual understanding, which is that life is eternal. Most religious people claim to believe that, but very few people actually live as if that were true.
― Neale Donald Walsch
The new spirituality will bring about what I'm calling the 'end of better.' And that is in fact what is called for in the next of the series of books that I've been writing.
― Neale Donald Walsch
The new spirituality will step away from dogma, will step away from 'We're right and you're wrong.'
― Neale Donald Walsch
The Roman Catholics teach that unless you're a Roman Catholic you do not go to heaven.
― Neale Donald Walsch
The sad part about our past is that religions, ironically enough, are responsible for creating the most destructive idea that has ever been visited upon the human race: the idea that there is such a thing as 'better.'
― Neale Donald Walsch
The world is starving for a new spiritual truth - a truth that works in sustaining life, not a truth that brings an end to life.
― Neale Donald Walsch
There is a divine purpose behind everything - and therefore a divine presence in everything.
― Neale Donald Walsch
They may not use the word better. But they certainly believe that they'll go to heaven and Jews will not.
― Neale Donald Walsch
We've seen in the last half century an incredible shift. This is just an extraordinary time to be alive.
― Neale Donald Walsch
You'll find individuals agreeing on this, but when they get into collective societies and larger groups they find it difficult to achieve group agreement.
― Neale Donald Walsch

The new Costco US coupon book runs from this Thursday, May 10, through the rest of the month to June 3, 2012. This month there are coupons worth more than $1,300.00 in discounts, and then another $4,100.00 in online deals at Costco.com. The value of the coupons is a little bit less than last month by about $300, there are also fewer online coupons this month. Luckily there are some great instant savings deals that you can take advantage of without breaking out the scissors. I like that it seems Costco US is getting more and more instant coupons so that you don't really need to have a coupon to give them or even remember your coupon book to get those deals.
I've uploaded the new Costco US Coupon Book PDF (or view it in the Google PDF viewer) so you can browse it if you haven't gotten yours yet. While you can print these out for reference purposes, Costco only accepts the original coupons (if your location requires you to hand them in). If you didn't get your book or never do, you should stop by Customer Service and make sure that they have all of your mailing information correct and that you have allowed them permission to send you things in the mail. Also, while you're there, ask them for a copy of the latest book. If you were not aware, the coupon books are only mailed to the primary member on the account.
Some of my favorite things to buy at Costco have coupons or instant savings this month, like the big bags of M&Ms ($2.25 off a 56 ounce bag) or Aveeno lotion ($3.50 off a two pack). There's also $4.00 off the Naked Juice or Odwalla variety packs; I love the Naked juice. The other juice that I like to buy at Costco, V-8 Fusion variety pack, has a coupon for $3.75 off the 24 pack. So, you can alleviate some of the badness in that big bag of M&Ms with some healthy juice.
This month would be a great time to stock up on all of your cleaning products too. There are nine coupons for cleaning products to take care of your laundry, dishes, dusting, and general cleanliness. So, certainly you'll find something that you need amongst the coupons items. And if you're cleaning is more of the weedy yard variety, then you're in luck because Costco has an $8.00 off coupon for Roundup with 1.33 gallons of ready to use weed killer with a pump, as well as two 6.5 ounce bottles of concentrate weed killer. So, that should be the whole house and yard cleaned at a discount.
For all of the parents out there, there are coupons for diapers, pull ups and baby wipes too. There's a $6.00 off coupons for Huggies diapers, unfortunately you can only get two of them. There's also a $5.00 off coupon on Huggies baby wipes, which you can only buy two of as well. Then finally, there's a $6.00 off coupon on Huggies Pull Ups too, once again only valid for two boxes though.
As usual there are several coupons and deals, both in store and online, for computers, cameras and electronics of all types. And of course, there's a coupon for $70.00 off a set of four Michelin tires. I also wanted to point out that there is a great instant savings deal on an set of Cuisinart Stainless Steel pots and pans. You get $50.00 off a very nice, very usable 12 piece set. And unlike a lot of these sets, this one looks like it is actually pots that you would actually use.

Today we are continuing in our study on the Sermon on the Mount. Today will be much like yesterday's in that we are not to do things so as to seek the approval of man. Here is today's text.
And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. Matthew 6:5-6 NKJV
Today we are beginning a series of messages on prayer. Jesus first gives two wrong ways to pray and then follows with his model prayer. Today we will be addressing the first wrong way to pray. This involves praying with a wrong heart. It is about praying not to have a conversation with God but to be seen by men. Just like charity, that is not really prayer at all.
First we need to define just what prayer is in order to get a better understanding of why there is a right and wrong way to pray. Prayer is simply talking to and hearing from God. It is not a mystical spell as some treat it as. It is not an expression of any kind innate power we have either. Those are New Age constructs that have infiltrated Christianity through many popular teachers. The power of prayer is not in the power of our words but it is about the power of Whom we pray to and our relationship to Him. Remember, it is God who is sovereign not us. God is ultimately the one who decides to act. Sometimes we think we are the initiator, but we fail to consider where the inspiration came from in the first place. When the Apostles commanded a lame man to walk, was that their idea or were they led by the Holy Spirit living inside their hearts to speak that command? Obviously, the answer is the Holy Spirit. That was a bit of a tangent. To sum up what I began to say, prayer is essentially a conversation between us and God.
Jesus now tells us the first wrong way to pray. He says "And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men." I think we need a little historical context to understand just what Jesus was saying. Prayer was important in the life of a Jew. They had specific prayers they had to make at specific times of the day. It was the same prayers at the same time each day. That said, the people knew that they had to make time for their prayers throughout the day and planned accordingly. The people Jesus is referring to here are those who planned to be in very public areas when those times would come around. The would "accidentally" be out in public when prayer time came around and make sure everyone saw it when they stopped what they were doing and said all their prayers with perfect diction right then and there. People were impressed with their "holiness". God, however, was not.
So what does this mean for the Christian today? While we do not have set times a day each day to pray, there are people who love to show off their praying. One thing that is a pet peeve of mine is people who have what I call "prayer voice" or who always pray in King James language. I do not understand the purpose of it and while it may not be true for everyone who does those things, I believe that many are showing off just a little. The prayer voice and language are all things to try and make you sound more spiritual. Can you imagine how your spouse would feel if whenever people were around, you talked to her in a different voice and used different words than how you talked to everyone else? I am sure at the very least your spouse would think you a bit strange. Of course you also have the many pastors who turn prayer into some kind of show. They make sure that everyone sees just how "serious" their prayer is with tears and tightly closed eyes. There are many other examples, but I am sure that just about everyone has seen someone who has tried to show off a little bit in prayer so we all can see just how spiritual they are. The fact is that anytime you pray in such a way as to be noticed by man, you are praying with the wrong heart. Just like the Pharisees, God is not impressed.
Here is what Jesus says about those who show off in prayer. He says, "Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward." Just like with charity, that praise from man is all they get. The reason why is because that is who those people are talking to anyway. They are not talking to God, they are talking to the men they are trying to impress. It would be like sitting next to my wife and shouting aloud for everyone to hear that I love her. Was I really proclaiming my love to her? No, I was trying to show everyone else in ear shot that I really love my wife. I was not really talking to her at all. When we pray to be seen by men, we are speaking more for others to hear us pray then for us to actually pray. Think of that when you pray in public, are you praying for others to hear you pray or are you honestly just praying to God?
Jesus now tells us the correct way to pray. "But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly." Please know that Jesus is not condemning any kind of public prayer at all. Even Jesus prayed publicly. We should pray publicly. What Jesus is saying is that we are not to show off when praying. We are not to pray in such a way to make ourselves a spectacle. He is also saying that unless it is necessary, our prayers should be in private. The reason this is so important is because it takes away distractions. Whenever we pray in public, we run the risk of altering our prayers depending on who is around us. In our rooms, in private, there is no such risk. You are free to be just who you are and come to God with the kind of honesty you just can not get when you pray in public. It also takes away the distractions from hearing the still small voice of God as He speaks to you in your times of prayer. Again, think of your spouse. Do you have your most personal, intimate conversations when surrounded by other people or do you do so when it is just you and your spouse alone and in private? That kind of intimacy of having that one on one time with God is essential to fostering our relationship. Whether you want to just let go and rejoice before God or whether you are on your face in tears before God, you are just free without temptation or distraction to really have a great conversation with God. For me, I have a long drive to work, and so some of my best conversations with God are on those long lonely drives.
God promises to reward those times of private prayer, free of any show to man. Many times that reward is the prayer itself. When you have that time of intimacy when you are able to just strip yourself down of all pretense and come to God just you are, you will really hear back from God. That intimacy developed through those times is like nothing else on earth and it will have an effect on you in your life. That intimacy will lead to some of the most wonderful fruits of the spirit including peace, love, and joy. It will also give you a much clearer direction for where God wants you to go. As you develop that intimacy with God, it will last long after you leave your room and stay with you as you go through your day. That kind of relationship will be a shining beacon to the world around you. They will notice a difference and you will have a testimony. That private prayer time will have very public effects and that is your reward.
The core of the lesson today is that prayer is between you and God. We are not to make a show of it in order make ourselves somehow look more holy. Jesus often went all alone to pray and we need to follow that example. If even our Lord needed that time alone with the Father, how much more do we need that time? Yes it is fine to pray for someone in public who asks you to pray for them, to pray aloud in a prayer service at church, to say grace in restaurants, and any of those other public forms of prayer that are a part of our lives. Even then, though, we must pray as though there is no one else around. We must pray just as we would when alone, otherwise it is some show for the sake of the people around you and not that communication just between you and God. We must also never lose that time alone when it is just us and God. There is nothing more important to fostering your relationship with God then spending that alone time with God. Those public prayers should be the exception rather than the rule. Our desire should always be to put the world away from us and give ourselves entirely to Him who loves us most. If you do not have those times, you have no idea what you are missing.
Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed. Mark 1:35 NKJV

What IS Delusional Altruism?
You may be suffering from it without even realizing it. Imagine this: You're out at a fancy dinner. You're dressed to the nines and looking absolutely fabulous. You're witty and clever in your conversation. Simply put, you're at the top of your game and feeling great. Then, you excuse yourself to visit the facilities. You look in the mirror and there it is . . . that big piece of spinach on your tooth that makes you look like the loser in a boxing match. You realize as your face turns beet red that everyone else at the table must have seen it, but they were too uncomfortable to say anything to you. Your lack of awareness has undermined what … Continue reading What IS Delusional Altruism?

What Students Want. What Teachers Want
I asked my students what they want. The following goes from highest to lowest requested changes.
1.) PvP. (player vs. player) Use Kahoot like mechanics in a 1v1 match! Teacher loads questions.
2.) Stats on armor. (+HP, +AP, +AP regen, +Healing, +damage resistance, +bonus damage)
3.) Export Archieved students to other teachers so that the adventure doesn't end.
4.) Unlockable personal story. The teacher sets this up using a classcraft template.
5.) Rare Drops from boss fights (armor, weapons, ect.) This is one of the most addictive parts of gaming.
6.) Elite moves reserved for students who are the highest level in the class.
7.) +AP and +HP per level.
What I (the teacher) want:
1.) Refund GP for armor spent if a student changes his/her class (mage, warrior, healer).
2.) Stamps in the merch store for teachers to use on paper assignments so that we can keep track of when powers where used! please please please.
3.) For gradebooks: Different reward settings for tests, assignments and quizes.
4.) Lock and unlock students from armor upgrade and move upgrade tabs. Sometimes the game is a distraction. It would be nice to save character adjustment for class downtime. Sometimes students crack open their laptops and make game adjustments durinng lecture and that can get anoying. The best thing ever for this game would be more teacher control over when students can access certain parts of the game.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Carolyn77 from Wonderful pans, skip the negative reviews! I was in dire need of new cookie sheets since my previous ones were put into the dishwasher and, since they have aluminum in them, they turned dark smoke gray and were ruined. After getting these and being able to enjoy nice cookie sheets for a change, the husband pulled the bad thing and put them into the dishwasher, even after I had given the riot act to not to. He forgot and well, they turned smoke gray as well and wound up in the trash. These are the BEST cookie sheets ever, make amazing cookies, with or without parchment paper. JUST BE SURE TO KEEP THEM OUT OF THE DISHWASHER! I'm back to order more if that gives you an idea on how much they're treasured in this house.

Paper Towel Science Project
Problem statement:
The purpose of this experiment is to determine if the price of paper towels reflects the absorbency of the paper towels. Relevance:
I became interested in this idea while trying to save money on my grocery bill. If the cheaper paper towels work just as well or better, I can save money by purchasing them. The information gained from this experiment can help consumers get the best absorbency for the lowest price. Literature Review:
While doing research on how to best design my paper towel experiment, I came across two other experiments that were relevant to mine. The first was a diaper absorbency experiment conducted by Vanessa W. in 1999 to determine which brand of diaper was the most absorbent. She used the same concept I will be using in my experiment by using water to test absorbency and measuring the amount of water left after each test. The second was a paper towel absorbency experiment conducted by Samantha P. in 2000. This experiment is very similar to the one I will be conducting, except she used a different measuring tool and method than I will be.
Experimental Design:
I will use 20 paper towels (4 different brands, 5 of each brand) folded in half four times each, 4 identical measuring cups that measure up to 150 ml. (one for each brand of paper towel), 1 timer, 1 notepad, 1pencil, and room temperature water. 1. First gather all of the materials that you need.
2. Then pour 120 milliliters of water into the measuring cup you are using. 3. Fold one of the first brand of paper towels in half four times. 4. Place the paper towel in the measuring cup.
5. Time for 15 seconds.
6. After 15 seconds, take the paper towel out of the measuring cup. 7. Hold over measuring cup until paper towel stops dripping. 8. Record how much water is left in the measuring cup.
9. Take the amount of water left in measuring cup and subtract that from 120...

Every software solution in developing organizations is going to change. The change should be quick and smooth, and have predicted results.
Our software development process is based on methods that allow us to undertake complex problems and solve them smoothly and on time. We believe that streamlining of the development process with small planned steps allows us to achieve our goals effectively. As the organization and technology changes, our processes and methods change too.
We stress the following key areas:
- Methods, processes – our methods and processes support our desire for a streamlined development process with high quality outputs. We do not hesitate to adapt them if something doesn't work in a particular situation.
- Predicted, concrete results – every step we take must have specific outputs. Only then do we know where we are and where we can go from there. Our plans are based on concrete deadlines and their results.
- Measured, visible progress – our process must be measured and progress must be visible not only to us, but also to our partners and customers. We pay close attention to keeping the flow of information between the parties at an optimum.
- Flexible infrastructure – our infrastructure must support our need for fast quality results, so it must be adjusted when needed. We use the latest technology and tools to support our processes and streamline software development.

Silver / Metal Braces
Metal braces are the most traditional choice for orthodontic treatment. They have so many positive attributes – very comfortable, low-profile, easy to clean, and provide more efficient tooth movement. These brackets are also very fun – you may decorate them with as many wild and exciting colors as you choose!!
Clear / Ceramic Braces
Are you really wearing braces? These braces are made of clear materials similar to glass – therefore, they are less visible on your teeth than traditional metal braces. We usually reserve these brackets for our older teen patients and adults with more cosmetic concerns. They are slightly bulkier than metal brackets and do require more attention to oral hygiene. We prefer to use clear braces on the upper teeth only due to their size and brittleness – in some circumstances, we are able to place clear brackets on the upper and lower teeth.
Clear Aligners, brands such as Invisalign
These are an exciting advancement in orthodontic tooth movement! They are nearly invisible and completely removable aligners that will straighten your teeth. Dr Jen prefers to use these appliances for patients that do not require extreme tooth movements – they will provide acceptable results for mild to moderate crowding. Commitment is a MUST! They have to be worn 22 hours daily! Patients are required to be responsible – aligners are easily lost and are only effective when worn faithfully. Dr Jen screens each patient carefully before offering clear aligners as an option.

24th October 2017
A warm welcome from "The Overnighters" - Hello intrepid explorers!
Bailey of Bristol, the oldest caravan manufacturer in the UK, recently asked us to keep them posted about our motorhome adventures. We are now, as my wife Mel likes to call us, "roving ambassadors". Ever since the 1980s Fererro Rocher 'Ambassador's Reception' advert, I have been waiting for some sort of ambassador status. We are truly honoured and really rather excited about this whole new chapter in our lives.
We love nature, we love travel and we have big plans. Mel is a multi-talented wonder-woman who excels in photography, whilst I particularly appreciate the satisfying flush that you only get with a Thetford cassette toilet. It's the perfect blend. And our twelve year old daughter Lois? She has no say in the matter.
Having already taken in quite a bit of the UK we are now planning our next British sojourns, plus a big European trip in 2018. I think this makes us officially 'motorhome-heads' (is this a recognised term, or have I just made it up?).
Back in late 2016, I knew almost nothing about motorhomes. Just a year later and I have finally worked out what the blue liquid is for. (Still not sure about the pink). We are also members of the 'Twittersphere' and you can follow us if you like. We are @TheOvernighters. On Twitter, obviously.
Anyway here's my latest blog. Picture the scene…
A MOTORHOME (BAILEY)- B4583, PEMBROKESHIRE- JULY 24th
MEL (wife, 40s) in the front passenger seat, with a large map on her lap, her hand in a tube of Pringles.
RYAN (husband, 40s but younger than MEL) in the driving seat, driving at a comfortable speed, despite being in need of a 'comfort break'.
LOIS (daughter, 12) in one of the two rear passenger seats. She eats Haribo 'Tangfastics' and stares at her phone. She is 'on' Snapchat and so using expensive 4G.
RYAN looks at LOIS in his rear-view mirror.
You're not on 4G are you?
RYAN nods. He looks across to MEL.
Can I have one, please?
MEL hands him a stack of six Pringles. He expertly fits them all into his mouth.
LOIS looks up, breaking from her fixed iphone stare. She shouts towards the back of RYAN's head.
So now we've got this motorhome, Dad… are we ever going to go on a normal holiday again?
RYAN looks into the rear-view mirror and attempts to reply
That's the beauty of motorhoming…
Fragments of Pringles fly out of RYAN's mouth.
Oh Ryan!
MEL bends down from her seat, picking up said fragments.
RYAN finishes his mouthful, swigging some flat Pepsi-Max
The point is Lois… nothing will ever be normal again. Our lives have changed forever!
Oh my god! You two have gone completely mental.
LOIS bites the head off a fizzy cola-bottle.
Don't eat all of those.
MEL turns the map around.
I think we're going the wrong way.
It's been a long and action-packed summer. Yes, it rained for most of July, but who cares when you're in a Bailey Advance 615? It's been a stonker for the Philpott family and we've had a ball. Very much a game of two halves. Actually, it was more like three halves if you count the 3 weeks I spent in Newquay in June.
I was filming a German movie (playing an alcoholic fisherman, despite having little angling experience!!) and staying in the beautiful Headland Hotel next to Fistral Beach. I had a few days off and Mel flew down for a long fun-filled weekend. We visited the quirky coolness of Port Isaac, Rock and Padstow. We surfed all day at Polzeath, of course, I mean body-boarded. We feasted on fresh crab and quaffed Sharp's and St Austell beers. In between burps, we talked about coming back to Cornwall in the summer holidays with our motorhome (or as we like to call it 'the van'. Sounds cool, right?).
But, there were two snags.
1) We'd already booked a hot holiday at a villa in Kefalonia.
2) Mel's got a thing about getting the van stuck down narrow country lanes, during the busiest time of the year in the most popular UK holiday destination known to man.
Which brings us to the 'second half' of the three halves. I know, what you're thinking. "How can you have three halves?" Well, it's my blog, so my rules.
Anyway, after much discussion and prevarication, it was mutually decided (by Mel) that the three of us would avoid the craziness of Cornwall in the summer holidays and instead head for the equally beautiful, but palpably less overpopulated Pembrokeshire coast for the last week of July. We loved it. Hooking up our van at three different campsites, we surfed, we ate, we drank, we laughed and we got lost a lot. It was as wonderful as Cornwall, but with its own glorious western Welsh tint.
The city of St David's is beautiful, Whitesands Beach breath-taking, and Newgale Beach a surfing must, even when it's peeing down! Anyway, apart from admitting that, as usual, Mel's instincts were proved spot-on, that's all I'm going to give you. For the full story check out Mel's blog, covering our Pembrokeshire motorhome odyssey.
And so to the much hyped 'third half' of our summer.
In late August, along with grandparents, aunts and cousins, we flew out from Stansted to a stunning villa with all the trimmings, in Fiscardo in the very north of the Greek island, Kefalonia. Lois is an only child and she loved her week with the family and her cousins. Mel and I both loved the luxury of the villa and quality family time is priceless for us. But, we still found ourselves double-taking passing motorhomes or campers. We watched one drive onto a ferry departing for Italy. Early one morning we found a parked up camper with blissfully sleeping inhabitants right next to a tiny beach.
We spotted an ancient and decidedly knackered caravan halfway up the side of a cliff (how did it even get there?) We found 'Sami Beach' camp-site, one of only two on the entire island. We met a French couple in their seventies who hated Italians and swore that the Greek islands were the only place to bring your van! We vowed to return. In our van. One day.
So, now we're home. It's October. Mel is back teaching at her school and Lois is settled into Year 8.
The other weekend, we took the van out for a spin, trying to temper the end of summer blues. We spoke of attempting something special next year. Something intrepid. Something daring.
A MOTORHOME (BAILEY), CAR PARK, WALLASSEY ISLAND RSPB RESERVE, ESSEX - SEPTEMBER 17th
LOIS, MEL and RYAN are sat at the table drinking Diet 7Up and eating cheese and pickle wraps made by RYAN. In the middle of the table sits a bowl of Tesco 'Cheese Balls'.
MEL is studying a map of Europe. It is the right way up.
Sure we don't want to sit outside?
Dad, it's freezing!
I'll put the awning up?
What difference will that make?
MEL looks up from the map
It is a bit grim.
RYAN takes a massive bite of his cheese and pickle wrap. MEL returns to the map. RYAN looks expectantly at MEL.
Well…I would say…six days.
RYAN nods.
What is?
To drive the van down to Kefalonia next summer.
What?! That's like a Greek Island, Dad!
It's not like one, Lois. It is one!
You're serious aren't you?
RYAN has stopped listening to LOIS. He is instead doing 'driving maths'
And that's going at a leisurely pace, Mel. I bet we could do it in 4 days if we split the driving.
MEL nods, whilst reaching for a 'cheese ball'.
Oh my god! Who are you both…and what have you done with my parents?
Maybe driving all the way to a Greek Island is a bit too ambitious for novices like us? Maybe a pootle around France and Spain might be more realistic? Half the fun's the chat, anyway. And we'll keep chatting. We'll keep thinking. We'll keep dreaming.
The holidays are over… long live the holidays!!!

North Korea Sentences US Student to 15 Years of Hard Labor
An undergraduate at the University of Virginia, Otto F. Warmbier, was sentenced on Wednesday to 15 years of prison and hard labor in North Korea.
The conviction came after a one hour-trial through during which Warmbier, 21, sat silently with his head down and hands shackled. Warmbier traveled to North Korea as part of a tour group. He was detained on January 2nd after state authorities caught him trying to steal a political poster from a wall in his hotel room. Laura Wagner of NPR reports that his detention was not made public until February.
North Korean state media accused Warmbier of intending to bring down "the foundations of its [the state's] single-minded unity." According to North Korean sources, the CIA, a secretive campus society known as "Z society," and a member of an Ohio church encouraged Warmbier to commit the "hostile act." By any stretch of the imagination, Warmbier's attempted theft of a poster would have amounted to no more than a petty offense in any other country.
Last month, Warmbier pleaded for his release at a news conference in Pyongyang and admitted that stealing the poster was "the worst mistakes of my life." He also issued a statement that analysts believe he was coerced to make, saying that a church member from the United Methodist Church in Wyoming, Ohio had offered to buy him a car in exchange for the poster.
Additionally, the profits garnered from the poster were going to be used to aid his family, "suffering from very severe financial difficulties." Many detainees under North Korean auspices are forced to confess crimes and make apologies regardless of their veracity.
Tiffany Ap of CNN notes that former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, who is also a former Democratic presidential candidate, met with two North Korean diplomats to lobby for Warmbier's release. Richardson is a longtime diplomat who has negotiated previous releases of Americans detained in North Korea, and he signaled that the sentence should not be taken at face value, offering hope to those stateside anxious for Warmbier's return.
Warmbier's sentence was roundly criticized by American human rights groups and prominent politicians, including President Obama and Governor John Kasich, one of the few remaining Republican presidential candidates. He released a statement saying the sentence in Pyongyang was "completely unjustified" and "an affront to concepts of justice."
Reporters from the New York Times note that Warmbier's punishment is part of a larger series of penalties being brought up against American tourists, missionaries, and journalists in recent years. These harmless offenses, such as leaving a Bible behind in a hotel room, are deemed "anti-state crimes" by the North Korean government.
The U.S. State Department accused North Korea of politicizing arrests of American citizens, saying, "It's increasingly clear from its very public treatment of these cases." Accordingly, the State Department strongly discourages Americans from traveling to North Korea, though it is not illegal to do so. The continued holding of Warmbier seems poised to further alienate North Korea from the international community.

Dear Eliza
What do you want me to say to you? Only you can talk to yourself. Which I guess you're doing right now. I know you're stuck. I don't know what to say. I see the 2 options so clearly. Use more. Don't use more. Use more and you don't know where it leads. You don't know what happens if anything happens. Don't use more than you aren't risking anything. Use more – you are playing with the risk. Don't use more – you aren't playing with it. Use more, you want to play with it. Don't use more, you don't want to play with it. The contradiction flying. Everything is contradictory. there's never just one side. But both. The side that wants to play with fire and the side that wants life and safety. The ping pong game. With you the ball. I'm sorry. I'm sorry it's so hard. I don't know what to say. I wish it would be easier. I love you Eliza. Always and forever.. I'm with you. Always and forever. Remember that you deserve life, love and happiness. Remember that you are special. Remember that you can and will get there. Remember that you can do this. You can be the best person possible. Whatever you do I love you. Yes, even if you go and use still more now when you've already used the most you ever have. It's not all about using. Even though that takes over everything else at the moment. Love you, Eliza. Eliza.

This Saturday, AM 560 WIND's Cisco Cotto will moderate a special townhall meeting outside the Chicago offices of Sen. Dick Durbin where citizens can voice their opinions on the issue of health care reform. Durbin told reporters earlier this month that he doesn't see value in holding townhall meetings. "I don't think that's a productive use of my time."
"The people Dick Durbin represents deserve to be heard before he votes on such a radical change to our health care," said Cisco Cotto, co-host of the John Howell and Cisco Cotto morning show on AM 560.
In response to Durbin's resistance to listen to the voices of his constituents, AM 560 WIND will be holding a townhall meeting this Saturday, August 22, at 12 noon in Federal Plaza, 219 S. Dearborn. All citizens are invited to attend the meeting and share their views on the health care legislation under consideration in Congress. The meeting is being held adjacent to the offices of Sen. Durbin in hopes that he would be willing to attend, despite his objections.
WHAT: Townhall meeting for all citizens
WHERE: Federal Plaza, 219 S. Dearborn
WHEN: Saturday, August 22 at 12 noon

The Rios-Caledonia Adobe has an interesting and unique history. Built in 1835 by local Indians, it was initially part of the properties of Mission San Miguel de Archangel. Petronilo Rios supervised the construction of the two-story adobe covered with white plaster made from lime, river sand and animal hair. At the time, he was a corporal who commanded the artillery detachment of eight men from the San Francisco Military District to guard the mission and commander of artillery at the presidio in Monterey. The timbers for the fourteen-foot rafters were sawn from trees transported to the site from Cambria and tied together by leather straps.
In 1846 William Reed, Miguel Garcia, and Rios bought the San Miguel rancho from Pio Pico, Governor of the Mexican Nation. It was an interesting transaction because the purchase was several days before California became part of the United States. Rios and his wife, Catarina Avila, had twelve children and moved into the adobe in 1851. In 1862 German-born Warren C. Rickard purchased the property from the state of California on a possession claim.
In 1868 George Butchard named the adobe the Caledonia, a Scottish word meaning Scotland. He operated a stagecoach stop, tavern, and inn. According to local legend, Jesse James, the Dalton Brothers, and Tiburcio Vasquez visited the inn. Morgan, Brians, and Sons, along with Jude Jeffries were the next occupants. In 1886, following the arrival of the Southern Pacific Railroad service to San Miguel, the Rios-Caledonia Adobe was utilized as a residence, school, post office, mattress making/upholstery shop, and a dressmaking/tailor shop.
In 1895 the Fred Telford family lived in the adobe and operated a dairy farm on the property. In 1903 Alfred Nygren, his wife and two children were in residence until the adobe and six acres sold to real estate broker and Spanish-American War veteran Charles Dorries. He developed plans to restore the building and open it to the public. He built walls and added a garden court with cacti and shrubs. In 1915 the original stagecoach road became Highway 101. In 1964 the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors purchased the adobe. The Rios-Caledonia Adobe is now California Historical Landmark No. 936 and a San Luis Obispo County Park.
In 1968 the Friends of the Adobes, Inc. was formed to promote the restoration and maintenance of the adobe as well as the Estrella Adobe Church (see related page). The group spent ten years of planning, raising funds and obtaining historical furnishings.
The building was formally dedicated in December 1972 after major construction was completed. In June 1978, the adobe, museum and gift shop were opened. The work continues, following as faithfully as possible the design and appearance of the original structure.
The restoration of the Rios-Caledonia Adobe has been a continuing cooperative effort between the Friends of the Adobes, Inc. and the County of San Luis Obispo working though the Parks and Recreation Department.
The Adobe was constructed.
The Missions, including San Miguel, were ordered to be sold at public auction.
William Reed, Petronillo Rios and Miguel Garcia bought the San Miguel Mission and its property from Governor Pio Pico. After the American flag was raised at Monterey, Miguel Garcia fled south from San Luis Obispo, knowing that the transaction was illegal.
Warren C. Rickard purchased the Rios property containing the adobe from the State of California on a possessory claim.
Mr. Butchart opened the Rios Adobe as an inn, hotel, stagecoach stop and tavern. He named it the Caledonia Inn, a Scottish word meaning Scotland.
Notorious outlaws such as the Dalton Brothers, Joaquin Murrieta, Three Fingered Jack, Tiburcio Vasquez, Jesse and Frank James were said to have visited the Caledonia Inn.
Southern Pacific Railroad arrived in San Miguel, drawing a close to the Caledonia Inn as a tavern, stage stop and hotel. Since then, the Rios Caledonia was used as a residence, dressmaking and tailor shop, mattress making and upholstery shop, post office and school house.
The Fred Telford family lived in the Rios-Caledonia Adobe, operating a dairy farm.
Mr. Alfred Nygren and family bought the Rios-Caledonia Adobe property. Two children were born to the Nygrens in the Adobe, Lillian in 1904 and Anna in 1907.
The Rios-Caledonia was sold to Charles Dorries with a total of six acres. Plans were made to restore the building and open it to the public.
The Rios-Caledonia Adobe was purchased by the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors for the purpose of restoration as a museum and information center.
The Friends of the Adobes, Inc. was formed to promote the restoration and maintenance of the adobe and other landmarks of historical interest in the area.
Rios-Caledonia Adobe museum and gift shop opens to the public from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Friday through Sunday.

¶ … Airborne Collision Avoidance Systems (TCAS/ACAS)
The collision avoidance systems TCAS/ACAS used by large craft are essential in avoiding midair collisions. Over time they have been developed in such a way that they can now supply pilots with advisories that, when heeded, can help guide the crafts out of dangerous situations where collisions may occur. The latest generation of system safety guidance based on the philosophy of the FAA has generated the ACAS X, which performs with greater accuracy and precision and reduces the amount of unnecessary warnings and advisories given to pilots. This Next-Gen system not only aids pilots in their piloting of large aircraft and secures the airspace around them, it also conserves energy and helps the entire industry to operate more efficiently and effectively. It has been developed with a number of concerns in mind and demonstrates the latest in collision avoidance systems technology.
Understanding Airborne Collision Avoidance Systems (TCAS/ACAS)
As Ho and Burns (2003) observe, midair collisions, while rare, do occur. Reducing and/or eliminating their risk is the goal of Airborne Collision Avoidance Systems (ACAS) and Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance Systems (TCAS) (p. 119). Technological factors play a role in the reduction of that risk but so too does the managing of the human factor as the 2002 midair collision of a Russian airliner and a DHL cargo plane over Germany revealed: The Russian airliner received alerts from both the air traffic control (ATC) and the TCAS onboard the plane. The TCAS sent maneuver routes to both aircraft and had both followed these routes, the collision would have been avoided -- but the pilot of the Russian airliner opted to follow the guidance of the ATC, and a midair collision was the result. The incident raised questions about the element of risk involved in the "human factor," especially given the rigor that has gone into developing the TCAS through iteration, heuristic rules, the application of pseduocode, and the complex interactions utilized by TCAS logic to the point where TCAS is now "currently mandated worldwide on all large transport aircraft" (Ho, Burns, 2003, p. 119; Kochenderfer, Chryssanthacopoulos, Weibel, 2012, p. 27).
TCAS/ACAS is designed to prevent the type of midair collisions described above. This technology dates back to the 1970s when following a spate of such accidents the Federal Aviation Administration collaborated with Lincoln Laboratory to develop an onboard collision avoidance system. That system, however, has had to evolve over the years in order to adapt to the ever-changing airspace field. Building on the TCAS yet "rethinking" the concepts and providing a "new approach" to the engineering process, the ACAS X aims to set the bar in international airspace collision avoidance (Kochenderfer, Holland, Chryssanthacopoulos, 2012, p. 17). Part of the way it means to do this is by updating and re-conceptualizing the "logic used to select pilot advisories" deemed "difficult to modify" in the past TCAS system in the light of "new surveillance inputs" (Holland, Kochenderfer, Olson, 2013, p. 275). This new Next-Gen system is to be installed in all airplanes (Jeannin, Ghorbal et al., 2014).
Ten years ago the object of ACAS was simply to give pilots the tools needed for avoiding airborne collisions. With ACAS these tools included "resolution advisories (RAs), which recommend actions (including maneuvers), and traffic advisories (TAs), which are intended to prompt visual acquisition and to act as a precursor to RAs" (Airborne Collision Avoidance System Manual, 2006, p. 13). Then as now, ACAS does not rely on ground-based systems for avoidance and acts as a "back-up collision avoidance service" for air traffic control systems already in place. (This notion of being a "back-up," however, is what contributed to the disaster involving the Russian airliner and the cargo jet). The main purpose of the system was to reduce unnecessary alarms in instances where flight maneuverings are not warranted.
New Developments
Today, ACAS X focuses on upgrading the "design limitations of TCAS" by providing a more cost-efficient, safer, and more streamlined alert system that eliminates unnecessary alerts and mitigates risk in terms of de-escalating the situation through an "iterative tuning process" (Holland, Kochenderfer, Olson, 2013, p. 275). The positive outcomes of ACAS X tests against original TCAS systems reveals that the ACAS X is far more advanced: it "reduces collision risk by 59%, lowers the alert rate by 59%, and issues 28% fewer disruptive alerts" while also utilizing a far simpler alert sequence and providing fewer by half advisories for changes in maneuvering (Holland, Kochenderfer, Olson, 2013, p. 275). Essentially, the ACAS X is more refined, simplified, strategic, intuitive, and helpful to pilots.
The current safety status and philosophy in dealing with this system is found in Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) embrace of the ACAS X technology, developing a plan for it to be manufactured as part of all large aircraft: it is to serve as a guidance system for pilots, designed as it is under a set of geometric configurations tested by researchers within a hybrid systems theorem framework. The FAA has determined that the system is the best next-generation collision avoidance alert system. The FAA takes system safety principles seriously and applies management and engineering principles to the overall framework for the optimization of safety. This, of course, requires a detailed plan that integrates engineering with training, experience, and application.
FAA System Safety Philosophy
The FAA defines system safety requirements within a program that promotes a balance of performance safety and cost. The ACAS X provides that unique balance of giving pilots the primary guidance needed to avoid collisions at a cost that is affordable for airlines. At the same time, no system safety principle can wholly eradicate risk and so there is the acceptance of limited risk in the area, which fall under hazard control implementation strategy. This strategy must be quantified, which can be difficult to do prior to actually having to act out the strategy, and with only hypothetical knowledge of an accident's severity, hazard control calculations are purely theoretical and hardly practical.
Essentially the safety system, in this case the ACAS X, acts as the guard against causes emanating from contributory hazards. Between the potential hazard and the potential harm, the ACAS X predicts a maneuvering strategy for both planes involved in sequence. Under this safety status, there are four categories of risk occurrence: probable, remote, extremely remote and extremely improbable. Of the four, probable is the most likely to occur. Its qualitative state exists in that it has been anticipated by developers of the safety system to take place at least once during the product's lifetime. Quantitatively, the probability of likelihood is expected per hour at a rate of 1 x 10 to the -5th power (or a 0.00001 rate of occurrence per hour). This rate decreases with the remote categorization to 0.0000001 per hour, and qualitatively is assessed to have an unlikely occurrence in the life of the product. Extremely remote is classified as having the possibility of occurring within an entire fleet once or twice, per se, and the extremely improbable is classified as having no likelihood of occurring. These ratings are then cross-indexed with severity ratings, ranging from catastrophic to negligible to produce a chart of consequence classifications that can guide the system safety assessment.
The top priority in the safety order of precedence is to design the system so that there is the very minimum of risk allowed. The second priority is to have safety devices incorporated into the strategy, along with warning devices (third priority) and procedurals/training (fourth priority -- the human element of the strategy).
The strategy can be effectively seen in simple ways such as the design of hardware to use low voltage (and if none is available then to use interlocks). Also a "5M System of Engineering" is utilized in the application: the M's consist of: Mission (aim of the safety system), Man (the human factor), Machine (the hardware/software combination), Media (the environment), and Management (the regulations, procedurals and policies). All of these contribute to the effectiveness of the ACAS X, which, as can be seen is merely one "M" of the 5 (FAA System Safety Handbook, 2000, p. 16).
Advanced Tech and Guidance Abilities
ACAS X works by detecting and tracking large aircraft utilizing sensors within surveillance systems on the plane giving velocity and placement locations of other planes. Algorithms coded into the ACAS allow the system to give high-probability readings of other planes in the vicinity "by representing relative positions and velocities as a probabilistic state distribution" based on the logic of the system's code (Airborne Collision Avoidance System X, 2015, p. 1; Wiolland, 2006).
The ACAS X improves and builds on the previous TCAS model in that its logic is able to be tailored according to various parameters or needs within the flying community of Next Generation unmanned travel, jets, airliners, drones -- all equipped with the ACAS system to ensure continuity and cohesion in the airspace. Not only does it provide vertical advisories (something TCAS did), but it also gives… [END OF PREVIEW]

I wouldn't deny my love for beauty products, but with the barrage of beauty products out there, product shopping is no more fun, its just mind boggling. And with each brand promising grander results in their respective expertise, the whole beauty and skincare product shopping experience has now become all the more complex. As if things could become any simpler, time is short and to-do list is long, I am shunning the ceaseless line up of products and going back to the beauty basics. Thanks to Unilever for providing one-stop-shop option for my skincare faves at Walmart and at such affordable prices. You can now find all these products in the Facial Care section of your local Walmart.
I generally don't apply makeup, but on photo shoot and night-out days, makeup is unavoidable. The excitement makes makeup application fun and quick, but when it comes to removing all that grime, I get impatient. But with these oldies , wiping off all that makeup-layer becomes easy and stressless. Following are the four main products I use to remove all the gunk and to ensure that my skin is clean from deep within.
1) SIMPLE CLEANSING FACIAL WIPES- I love a good facial wipe and this one is gentle and non-drying. Always use individual wipes for individual sections: eyes, face and lips. You don't want to end with a messier and colorful face.
2) NOXZEMA CLASSIC CLEAN ORIGINAL DEEP CLEANSING CLEAN - you should always add a cleansing cream to your skincare regime. The wipes on it's own are not sufficient in removing all the dirt. With the smell of eucalyptus, this cleansing cream can be used either with a cotton swab or with your favorite battery-operated cleansing brush for an effective, more deeper clean.
3) ST IVES FRESH SKIN APRICOT SCRUB - Talk to me about this product. This scrub has been in my bathroom shelves for almost two decades now. Because of it's gentle formula and goodness of natural apricot, I use this scrub for a sure-shot step in cleansing my skin after a night out. I have a combination, prone-to-acne skin and hence exfoliation is super important for my skin. Makeup tends to sit on top of your skin and also penetrate your pores. A good scrub can extract the gunk out of your facial pores and remove any dead layer of skin. You should exfoliate at least three times a week, especially after heavy makeup.
4) PONDS DRY SKIN CREAM- you all might be able to relate to this product. Time immemorial, generation after generation, Ponds has been in my family. Undeniably, this is the bestest and gentlest formula and I always trust my daughter's skin to it. It is non-greasy, but deeply nourishing. Facial scrubs can make your skin dry, so I recommend using a lightweight moisturizer like Ponds dry skin for a clean, fresh smooth skin.
These are some of my favorite skin care products, what's your favorite ?
