|Morning on the marina
The life is slow and the days are cold in my new home at the Tamar Marina at Beauty Point.
Beauty Point is a small town on the Tamar River that is the home to the Tamar Yacht Club Marina, a major yachting hub, and two major tourist attractions, Sea Horse World and Platypus House. As much as I would love to see these wonderful creatures in the wild, I don't think I will. To visit Sea Horse World and Platypus House gave me a unique chance to see these creatures in the flesh.

Beaconsfield is my nearest town for supplies and fuel.
The Beaconsfield area was first settled in 1804. By the 1870s the town was a major producer of gold, the old Grubb Mine. The active mine finally closed its door in early 2012.
The remnant building of the old Grubb Mine
and the newer mine shaft
are now part of the famous Beaconsfield Mining Museum.
I visited the Beaconsfield Mine Museum. This was well worth the visit, lots of great information on mining and great interactive displays. Also there were some wonderful exhibits on early Australiana.
In April 2006 at Beaconsfield, Tasmania, a mine accident killed one man and trapped two more underground for days. Five days later their colleagues found a way to get the two miners out safely. The miners were trapped over half a mile, almost a kilometre underground (925 metres). It was two weeks (or 321 hours) after the mine collapse that the two miners walked free and put their name tags onto "safe". The mine disaster is handled with great sensitivity and this gives a good idea of this little town and the banding together of the community around this event. The day the two miners were rescued was the funeral of their colleague who had not survived the initial rock fall.
Beaconsfield mine disaster knitted scarves display
Later in the year, a 'close-knit community knitting' project began to knit a scarf 925m long. People were invited to contribute small sections to the huge scarf. All the pieces were joined together to make this scarf which would symbolise the careful work of the many people involved in the rescue. There were knitting days in the local town of Beaconsfield and contributions from farther afield (Tasmania, other Australian states, overseas). On the first anniversary of the accident, the "Close-Knit Community Scarf" was unveiled by local schoolchildren as part of the ceremony.
It is astonishing how many ways the work of our hands can serve to unite, to remember, to draw us together as human beings and people and communities. This is just one. The many AIDS quilt projects around the world are another. The list of the various possible activities is long and wonderful and humbling and grand, often beginning as the "what-if?" thought of one or a few people. The value and rewards can be as much if not more in the doing, the process as in the finished product. It is all about patience and commitment, not just skill.
In the main street you can still see a few of the old buildings.
In 1884 the Beaconsfield Bank robbery took place. The bank manager was waylaid and robbed of the keys to the safe. After robbing the bank, the robber re-locked the safe and threw away the keys. Francis Jackson, a locksmith from Launceston went to Beaconsfield to open the safe. The staff at the bank told him that it was no use trying to open it as the lock was un-pickable. Francis Jackson inspected the safe and requested staff to retire for a few minutes. Shortly afterwards he called them back and swung open the safe door, proving that he had picked the "un-pickable" lock.
This is the original Beaconsfield Branch of the Bank of Tasmania, where the gold was kept usually safe.
Now a quaint little shop.
The Victorian era Exchange Hotel, on the main street, was the scene of many colourful historic incidents
in the roaring days of Beaconsfield.
|Cataract Gorge can be an awesome sight. This is a shot of the First Basin from a higher lookout.

Your Commute Won't Seem So Bad When You See What Kids Around The World Have To Do Just To Get To School
Sketchy bridges, steep hills, swamp waters, you name it — these kids live it every morning on the way to school. Not everyone has it easy when it comes to their morning commute.
We complain about having to plow through the bustling streets of our major cities, through crowds and crowds of tourists, just to get to work. The fact that there are children in third world countries who have to practically Tarzan their way to school is quite humbling, to say the least. The message here is that education is worth risking your life over, and we should all be more grateful of what we have.
Check out this insane collection of photos below.
Don't complain about the I-95. You don't have to attempt a Guinness World Record at sunrise every day.
Imagine having to have to hold on for dear life every morning.
This isn't Six Flags. This is a girl ziplining her way to first period.
The bus? More like the inner-tube of a bus.
You complain about having to walk through Grand Central and these kids have to walk through the forest.
This is a cool bridge... when you don't have to walk it every morning to get to school.
Biking may be faster, but it's also way more dangerous.
Metrocards? Try having to rope your way across.
Sure, their morning views are postcard worthy, but this is just the everyday struggle for some.
Believe it or not, the walk to class is literally a war zone.

Fire Drill with Shane Bonifay
Shane's nostalgia knows no bounds. Photo: Cortese
"What would you grab from your house if it were on fire?"
1. My first pro model board – Liquid Force Mini Squirt 1997. This one was the first out of the press, I still remember Jimmy Redmon giving it to me. That seems like ages ago, I think I was 13 or 14.
2. Picture of me and Pamela Anderson from the Playboy Mansion – No one will ever believe I met Pam at the Playboy Mansion unless I have that photo to back it up.
3. Playboy – Any issue, doesn't matter. A good playboy isn't going to help out much, but it will take your mind off the fact your house just burned down.
4. The Camera we filmed Pointless with – It is a Sony VX something or other, I should probably know since I have it tattooed on me. This is a good reminder of the Pointless days as this camera was what started everything off for us. That camera went everywhere with me for at least three years.
5. Mustache wax – Good thing this was in my pocket as I ran out of my house… I'm going to need it to look good to find a girl whose house I can sleep at.
6. 1993 Boys 2 Slalom 3rd place trophy – 3rd place in slalom is great for a short person like me, and it was in the Boys 2 division, hot damn! All my other trophies are at Parks' house in the trophy case, hopefully his hasn't burned down yet.
7. 1962 Lincoln Continental – Of course I am going to save the Lincoln. That is if it starts and I can drive it out of the garage.
8. Leather jacket – I could sleep on the street if I needed to, it's so comfy and it's solid protection. Plus it goes hand-in-hand with the mustache wax in terms of looking good and hopefully not needing to sleep on the street
9. Beer – This is for immediate stress relief
10. iPhone – Always in my pocket, but this will only be helpful if you brought a charger… and I didn't so I'm running back in, hold on!
Nobody cares about this guy anymore… get rid of him. Washed up. Drinking and driving is a great example for the kids.
Well I still care about this guy. If I remember correctly, he's done a lot for this sport. So get the FFFF outta here Jacob_p!
Done alot in the past… It's time to hang it up, all I have seen from this dude lately is partying… He is no longer pushing the sport.
He's in his garage bro, plus he is pushing the sport with exposure. I'm sure you've done much more during your pro career.
In the garage
drinking not beers in my car
this is darkness
shane is a boss and still one of my favorite riders if you dont have a sense of humor to understand the guy then, dont dis him. he still pushes the sport in my eyes and plus hes been riding for years and has push wakeboardin in so many ways. so i think he deserves to chill kick back and relax
Your a faggot jacob_p, Danger is a legend and will never be washed up
I didnt know doing a double back off a kicker was washed up?
jacob_p bite your tounge, hes a staple for wakeboarding past or present. so tired of all these haters on this site. if im correct i dont remember seeing any of you one this site
Christianmingle.com is the site for you jacob_p

Comics on Film: Superman Comes to 'Supergirl,' and Other DC TV/Movie Overlap
This week we got our very first glimpse at actor Tyler Hoechlin taking up the iconic costume of TV's version of the Man of Steel, Superman. Hoechlin will be appearing as the original superhero in the first two episodes of the forthcoming second season of Supergirl, which has moved from its original home on CBS to a new one alongside the other DC Comics-based TV shows on the CW.
Whether you love or hate the idea of Kara Zor-El's more well-known cousin appearing alongside her on the show, this represents a fundamental shift in the relationship of DC Comics characters when it comes to their use simultaneously on the big and small screens. You don't have to think too far back to remember a time when Warner Bros. was so skiddish about TV stepping on the toes of the movies that they even instituted a famous "embargo" of famous Batman characters from appearing on animated shows.
Yep. Because a movie has more priority, that meant that Batman couldn't square off against the likes of the Joker in a later episode of Justice League Unlimited. So, how has this relationship changed? Let's take a look.
DC on live-action TV overlapping with major movies
While more TV series based on DC characters have been created in animation over the years, the live-action iterations are generally more notable due to their more tangible depictions of DC characters. There are exceptions, of course – it's probably pretty fair to say that Batman: The Animated Series has left a more indelible mark on the characters' legacies than the 1980s Superboy show, for instance – but overall, whenever a live-action TV effort kicks into production, everybody takes notice.
While both George Reeves' Superman of the 1950s and Adam West's Batman of the '60s were featured in motion pictures, those movies were extensions of what were, or what would become, the larger efforts on television. 1951's Superman and the Mole Men was created before production began on the Adventures of Superman TV series, and served as a precursor to that show. The 1966 Batman film, on the other hand, was released during the hiatus between the first and second seasons of the TV show.
After Batman went off the air and shows based on Shazam! And Wonder Woman finished their respective runs by 1979, the baton was passed to feature films, as Christopher Reeve played Superman between 1978-1987 in four major movies. It wasn't until 1988 that the next DC Comics TV show would hit the small screen in the form of Superboy, which would stay on the air through the release of both Tim Burton Batman films in 1989 and 1992, respectively. Also appearing briefly in live-action TV during that time was the original TV effort focusing on The Flash, starring John Wesley Shipp and airing for one season on CBS between 1990-91.
While Batman continued tearing up the big screen through the 1990s, Superman was nowhere to be found in movie theaters. This eventually led to the Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher-starring Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman to premiere in 1993, and this was a show that had a few references to Superman's darker brother-in-arms. For instance, in the first episode of season 3, Lois talks a little too loudly about her recent discovery of Clark's secret identity.
This caused Clark to respond, "A little louder, I don't think they heard you in Gotham City!" This nearly coincided with two Superman references made in the Batman films directed by Joel Schumacher, where Bruce mentions to Dick in Batman Forever that the circus his family was a part of must have been "halfway to Metropolis," and at the opening of Batman & Robin when Batman sarcastically retorts Robin's desire for a car by saying, "This is why Superman works alone."
All of these references were well before there were any concerted crossover efforts, or major motion pictures made that took further advantage of the characters' newer presence in multimedia. Smallville, premiering in 2001, would be the first time that a major motion picture and a TV show featuring the same DC Comics character would overlap, all while Warner Bros. was trying to get both Batman and Superman back off the ground as new and refreshed cinematic franchises.
Smallville: The Place of Superman Returns and Bruce Wayne
Originally envisioned as a show featuring a pre-Batman Bruce Wayne, show developers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar instead went with a show depicting a teenaged Clark Kent (played by model-turned-actor Tom Welling) coming to terms with the things that make him different while growing up under the guiding hands of Jonathan and Martha Kent (played by John Schneider and Annette O'Toole, respectively). When Smallville went on the air in the fall of 2001, it was in the midst of a lot of concerted efforts to revive both the Superman and Batman film franchises, which had been dormant for either years (in Batman's case) or over a decade (in the Man of Steel's case).
As the first major DC Comics TV show that rose during the age of the internet, it didn't take long for fans to wonder if other DC Comics characters would show up in the Kent Farm's fields at some point or another. Popularity obviously dictated a major desire on the part of fans to see some kind of interaction between Clark and Bruce Wayne, but according to the showrunners, this wasn't possible because WB told them "no" at virtually every turn. Even traditional Superman characters were disallowed for use on the show for a while, most notably in the case of Lois Lane.
It wasn't until the show's fourth season that they were permitted to use her at all, and only then on a limited basis. This restriction was later loosened and Lois became a recurring character played by actress Erica Durance.
As WB was beginning development of the movie that would become Batman Begins, the studio issued the now infamous "Bat Embargo." That dictated to other producers, including those of animated programs, that they could use Batman, but only a minimal amount of his supporting characters. When it became clear that Superman Returns would be the next DC Comics-based motion picture, it presented a few interesting notions to Smallville. In an undeveloped previous production, directors had approached series star Tom Welling to potentially reprise the role of the adult Clark Kent in a film, but ultimately, Bryan Singer went in a different direction after he cast Brandon Routh.
While Superman Returns and Smallville were relatively autonomous from each other, they did inform each other in at least one way: the set of the Daily Planet, Lois and Clark's future employer. As the Planet became a regular location in later seasons of the show, the show's production designers collaborated minimally with Superman Returns production designer Guy Hendrix Dyas on the look of the Planet for the show to evoke the deco design that was used in the film.
Building a Small Screen Universe
Ultimately, Smallville included a lot of other DC characters (like Green Arrow, Cyborg, Aquaman, the Legion of Super-Heroes, and Booster Gold), made allusions to Gotham City, and even adapted stories from the comics in their own way, which would illustrate for both audiences and the CW network the kind of potential the DC Universe could have on television. Now, with several DC shows on the network from a wide variety of characters and worlds of the DC Universe, what WB would've once never been okay with – Superman in full costume played by a different actor in both film and on television – they now seem to understand that audiences are sophisticated enough to differentiate between the DCU of the movies, and the DCU of TV.
We'll just have to wait and see for ourselves this fall just how Tyler Hoechlin matches up to big-screen counterpart Henry Cavill when he takes flight as Superman in the upcoming second season premiere of Supergirl.

After completing my PhD and a short post-doctorate position, I took a 7-year career break to start a family. Over a catch-up coffee, my PhD supervisor encouraged me to apply to the Daphne Jackson Trust. This charity supports STEM researchers in returning to their careers following a career break. They offer a part-time fellowship and retraining that aims to build confidence and skills.
I enjoyed multivariate statistics and pattern recognition ("chemometrics") during my PhD, so found an expert in these techniques on the University of York webpages. Prof. Julie Wilson's research covers a wide range of fascinating projects, including links to archaeology, analytical chemistry and collaborations with industry. I approached Julie, who was very encouraging, and was keen to act as supervisor for my Fellowship. Julie, the University of York, and the Daphne Jackson Trust were all very supportive during the application process, which took around 9 months to complete. My application was successful and I secured a two-year Fellowship to use chemometrics to analyse data from plant varieties exposed to drought and disease. My Fellowship was supported by the Departments of Mathematics and Chemistry, and was also in collaboration with Fera Science Ltd. This academic breadth and industrial partnership provided fantastic opportunities for retraining and reintegrating back into research.

If you think 'anything goes Wednesday' is a good idea, how about 'anything goes your limb' or something?

If you dress Mikey as a hoomin eating tiger anything that happens after that is you fault.ReplyDelete
Is it Halloween? Christmas? What? Have I been so wrapped up in bunny chores I have missed a month or three?ReplyDelete
I approve of Mikey's disapproval. Do not cover his lovely bun ears!ReplyDelete

This cat-print-on-bunny look will NOT be showcased on the Bunn-Walk this season - an obvious fashion 'don't' which might lead to rather serious injuries of stoopid hoomins as well.ReplyDelete

He is so beautiful.ReplyDelete
Mikey, if you feel the urge to feed, let me know. Bunch of hoomins here you can have at them ;-)ReplyDelete
better with a pair of bunny ears,xx RachelReplyDelete

What a disappointment the credits were. I was hoping for a contact form to enter my name and address so the author could send me money for playing his game.
Actually, I have grown to appreciate seeing the names of the people that worked hard to create the wonderful interactive experiences that engage me long enough to make it to the credits. So, when seeing the credits in a game, I know I have reached the pinnacle, and it is rewarding to me because of that.
Laura: Have you taken a look at the first comment of this page? There are hints for every level of the game.
And about that kid-safe thing? Ridiculous. No nudity, a barely sexual theme if at all. Very tastefully done.
All in all, a very tasteful game. Leave it to the Japanese to do something as elegant!
28. Click 2 times on the right dot, 9 times on the dot to the left, 12 times on the other dot left, 6 times on another left dot, and 8 dots on the final dot untill a star appears
i get level 33 now. for all those that need help on it
when you go to "slash" click and drag from one side and keep holding down the button as you go over it a few times. you have to keep going over the thing to cut it. think of using a saw to cut through a pipe.
i have to admit... level 30 and 33 really got me.
Hey all i hear your having trouble with 33. Heres a little help
So your on 33 and there is the grey/black line try and find the middle of it hold down the left mouse button and vertically slice it, if the middle of the page doesnt work try a bit to the left. You need to slash really fast if you want to find it.
Hoshi saga 2 is out now. Not as good as hoshi saga 1 though heres the link.
hope it works...
(a screenshot of 21 with point marked on)
For everyone stuck at 11:
What the walkthrough doesn't mention is that you need to KEEP CLICKING under the "point." Think of the point as a feather, and the mousepoint is puffing air up at it, wafting it down and to the right.
I don't know about anyone else, but it took me bleepin' FOREVER to figure that out.
Another way of looking at number 11, if you've given up or are about to:
You have to use the "wind power" of your mouse clicks BOTH at the left of the point, to move it to the right (toward the rest of the star) AND underneath it, to keep it from falling down to the bottom. Once you have that technique down, you'll notice that the momentum will carry it TOO far to the right and it'll crash, and/or it will be above the star but still fall too fast and crash onto it. So you have to then slide over and click BOTH to the right AND below it really quick to slow it down again. Though I haven't cleared #11 yet, this combo generates the most progress I've made on this level (it's one of only a couple that my sheer clumsiness is keeping me from clearing) so I'm going to keep trying.
Additional help for 33
Here's what worked for me... click and hold while running the mouse all over everywhere especially bottom right hand side. This was actually me having a temper tantrum and pretending I was scribbling out the stupid lines, but after my pointer went outside the box a couple times it worked!

There are times in life when we don't feel like things are going the way that they should, for us. We look at the lives of others and can see God's plan working in their lives. Yet, it is hard to see what He's doing in ours. This is normal. The human tendency is to see the grass as being greener on the other side. The man or woman on the other side always seems to be doing better, achieving more, working harder, receiving more approval, more well liked...and more, more, more. Just because it's the way things seem, doesn't mean that's the way it is. One thing about the bible, that I love, is the fact that the words in it are real and true. The men and women in the bible don't put up a beautiful image of what their lives were like so that we won't know what was really going on. Instead, they tell it how it really is or was. They keep it real with us...especially in the Psalms. Let's look at Psalm 13 How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide Your face from me? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and every day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me? Look on me and answer, O Lord my God. Give light to my eyes, or … [Read more...]
But… Changes Everything
Caring: Week 1 Day 2
August 2013: Week 1 Day 2 Care: What does it mean? Yesterday we read Psalm 1. We focused on verse 3 where we are told that God is our caretaker. Did you examine your life? Were you able to see the ways that God has been there for you and provided the right environment for your growth? If you weren't able to see that, have you decided that you would become the person that is described in Psalms 1? Today we are going to take a look at the word care and what it means. For this, I went to the dictionary and you can do the same. With words like this there are two different definitions. There is the word care that we have determined we will give to God. It is a noun. Let's remember what a noun is. It is a person place or thing. Why is this important, you may ask… Well, when we are trying to understand concepts and the precepts in the word of God, we have to know what words mean. If we can come to an intellectual understanding of the words that are being used, the true meaning of the concepts and be translated into our hearts. Ok…back to the word care. The word care that is a noun is the something that we give to God. That person, place, or thing is defined in … [Read more...]
Caring: Week 1 Day 1
August 2013: Week 1, Day 1 August is the month of caring. With this, remember that the Lord cares for you. Our bible reading for today is Psalm 1 Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper. The ungodly are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish When reading this passage of scripture, we can see that the person that follows the will of God, prays, trusts, and delights in Him will be blessed. I don't know about you, I am that person. I look for my needs to be met. His ways are my delight. This world can make it hard, so when I lose focus, I rely on the Lord to bring me back to the place … [Read more...]
Where is God when things go crazy?
Where is God when things are going crazy? Where is God when the world is topsy-turvy? Does God have anything to say about the things that are taking place in the earth? Psalm 75 1 We thank you, God, we thank you— your Name is our favorite word; your mighty works are all we talk about. 2-4 You say, "I'm calling this meeting to order, I'm ready to set things right. When the earth goes topsy-turvy And nobody knows which end is up, I nail it all down, I put everything in place again. I say to the smart alecks, 'That's enough,' to the bullies, 'Not so fast.'" 5-6 Don't raise your fist against High God. Don't raise your voice against Rock of Ages. He's the One from east to west; from desert to mountains, he's the One. 7-8 God rules: he brings this one down to his knees, pulls that one up on her feet. God has a cup in his hand, a bowl of wine, full to the brim. He draws from it and pours; it's drained to the dregs. Earth's wicked ones drink it all, drink it down to the last bitter drop! 9-10 And I'm telling the story of God Eternal, singing the praises of Jacob's God. The fists of the wicked are bloody stumps, The arms of the righteous are lofty green branches. So where is God … [Read more...]
Asking Hard Questions…
Psalm 73 1 Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart. 2 But as for me, my feet had almost slipped; I had nearly lost my foothold. 3 For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. 4 They have no struggles; their bodies are healthy and strong. 5 They are free from common human burdens; they are not plagued by human ills. 6 Therefore pride is their necklace; they clothe themselves with violence. 7 From their callous hearts comes iniquity[b]; their evil imaginations have no limits. 8 They scoff, and speak with malice; with arrogance they threaten oppression. 9 Their mouths lay claim to heaven, and their tongues take possession of the earth. 10 Therefore their people turn to them and drink up waters in abundance. 11 They say, "How would God know? Does the Most High know anything?" 12 This is what the wicked are like— always free of care, they go on amassing wealth. 13 Surely in vain I have kept my heart pure and have washed my hands in innocence. 14 All day long I have been afflicted, and every morning brings new punishments. 15 If I had spoken out like that, I would have betrayed your children. 16 When I … [Read more...]
The Courage to Remain
It isn't always easy to do what is right. Not one person across the globe has intentionally said "I am always going to do what is wrong." Yet each decision that we make falls into one of the following categories, right decision and wrong decision. That right and wrong aren't just any old right and wrong, but instead they are the right and wrong from the perspective of One who is truly able to judge. This One has the best interest of everyone involved in every situation and so when He looks at a thing and judges,.He judges wisely and righteously. I'm sure that by now, because of all the capital "H's" you were able to figure out who He is, but in knowing whom He is there may be a bit of apprehension. You may be thinking, "How am I supposed to make decisions that God would see as being right?" Well, there is a way to measure the decisions that are being made. Just like in this world that we live in there are laws that set standards and tell a person if they are making a right decision or a wrong decision. There are also spiritual laws that govern the decisions that we make. Those laws are found in the bible. This morning, I am amazed by the Lord, His infinite wisdom, and … [Read more...]
A Prayer From Psalm 17
Praying the word of God is one of the best things that we could do in our lives. Sometimes our hearts search for the words that would make our deepest cry known to our God and Father. The Lord has given us these words as guidance and as a resource for those moments when we want to use wisdom as well as cry out "Abba Father, I need You!" Be encouraged to pray the words of this psalm and in your heavenly language. For in the Spirit we speak in an unknown tongue directly to the heart of God...what more could we ask for? Remember, He hears us when we pray. A prayer of David. Hear me, LORD, my plea is just; listen to my cry. Hear my prayer— it does not rise from deceitful lips. Let my vindication come from you; may your eyes see what is right. Though you probe my heart, though you examine me at night and test me, you will find that I have planned no evil; my mouth has not transgressed. Though people tried to bribe me, I have kept myself from the ways of the violent through what your lips have commanded. My steps have held to your paths; my feet have not stumbled. I call on you, my God, for you will answer me; turn your ear to me and hear my … [Read more...]
Psalm 6
O Lord, do not rebuke me in Your anger, have mercy on me in Your hot displeasure. Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak; O Lord heal me, for my bones are troubled. My soul also is greatly troubled; But You, O Lord-how long? Return, O Lord, deliver me! Oh, save me for Your mercies' sake! For in death there is no remembrance of You; In the grave who will give You thanks? I am weary with my groaning; All night I make my bed swim; I drench my couch with my tears. My eye wastes away because of grief; It grows old because of my enemies. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity; For the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping. The Lord has heard my supplication; The Lord will receive my prayer. Let all my enemies be ashamed and greatly troubled; Let them turn back and be ashamed suddenly. ~Psalm 6 What does this psalm tell us? This psalm shows us the emotions if David, a man after God's own heart. It gives us freedom to come to God in honesty about the things we are enduring. Through David's emotions in this psalm God let's us know that it's alright to feel and to express those feelings to Him in prayer. The Lord hears us when we … [Read more...]
Psalm 27
The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked came against me To eat up my flesh, My enemies and foes, They stumbled and fell. Though an army may encamp against me, My heart shall not fear; Though war may rise against me, In this I will be confident. One thing have I desired of the Lord, That will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord All the days of my life To behold the beauty of the Lord, And to inquire in His temple. For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; In the secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide me; He shall set me high upon a rock. And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me; Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord. Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice! Have mercy also upon me, and answer me. When you said, "seek My face," My heart said to You, "Your face, Lord I will seek," Do not hide Your face from me; Do not turn Your servant away in anger; You have been my help; Do not leave me nor forsake me, O God of my … [Read more...]

Seder Plate Card
Passover is fast approaching, and that means not only cooking and cleaning, but making cards, of course! I put together this card during Stampin' Addicts Stamp Jam over the weekend. It is pretty clean and simple, but I think it conveys the look of a Seder plate. I printed out the words in the middle, … Continue reading
Seder Plate
I've been trying to figure out how to make a SUO (Stampin' Up Only) seder plate, and I think I did it! For a detailed explanation of the elements of the seder plate, you can visit Chabad.org. The hardest of all of the items for me to find was the egg. I don't have any … Continue reading
Hoppy Passover (again)
A little over a week until Passover starts! That means it's time for cleaning out the chametz and making Passover cards. I decided to use this week's Pals Paper Arts sketch to get started on them. As I've mentioned before, my family equates frogs with Passover. This comes from the second plague in the Passover … Continue reading

I'm so excited that Kristina Werner's color challenge this week works perfectly for a Passover card! I've been feeling the need to make more, especially with these adorable froggies! Here are this week's colors: I decided to do another scalloped circle card. The circle reminds me of a seder plate. And the frogs, the second … Continue reading
So Hoppy for You!
Here's another Passover related card. Well, for me it is Passover related because of all of the frogs, and frogs always make me think of Passover. For you, a frog may just be a frog. 🙂 This is from a sketch challenge on a new website I have been visiting called Stampin' Addicts. It's a … Continue reading
The Ten Plagues
Passover is coming up next week, and one of the things my family really likes to focus on are the ten plagues. Particularly the decorations — frogs and bugs more so than blood and boils. So I got it in my head to make a Ten Plagues Passover card. It took quite a few stamp … Continue reading

The challenge launched in December 2015, in association with NASSCOM, was brought to a closure today after three companies were recognised as the winners. The winners who were awarded $100,000 each are Carnot Technologies (featured in economic times.com' 50 Hot Startups 2017), iFuture Robotics and Uncanny Vision.
The three winners were chosen out of the 10 shortlisted companies which were incubated with initial prize money of $10,000 each and received engineering support at Qualcomm India's Innovation Lab in Bengaluru. The startups were given 12 months to develop their ideas into prototypes after the challenge
The winning companies were judged by a jury comprising of industry experts, government representatives and Qualcomm executives.
"Qualcomm is passionate about innovation. Every year we invest billions in risky R&D to invent technologies that bring advancements in various aspects of our lives. With Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision to transform India into a digitally empowered society, Qualcomm is committed to offering support to help India's ecosystem to grow and cater to increasing consumer choices," said Qualcomm Technology Licensing's senior vice president and general manager, John Han in a statement.
Keeping in mind the interest garnered by the challenge, QDIP will enable mobile and IoT vendors in India by providing advanced camera, audio, and RF designs at a new Innovation Lab to be set up in Hyderabad as well as at the current Innovation Lab in Bengaluru which will be expanded to support the initiative.
The second edition of the challenge will support companies in the areas of rural technology, biometric devices, payment terminals, agriculture technology, medical technology, and smart infrastructure.
"Qualcomm Design in India Challenge is one of the most successful initiatives by Qualcomm to nurture some of the talented startups in India. After seeing the overpowering response during the 2016 edition, we decided to go ahead with a second year, as well as expanding the number of participants Qualcomm nurtures through this program from 10 to 16 participants in 2017," announced Qualcomm Technologies' senior vice president and president of Asia Pacific and India Jim Cathey in his statement.

It's already time for another 5 things Friday??? This week has gone by strangely fast!
1. Workouts this week have been pretty awesome. I got in workouts Monday -Thursday this week and have my long run tomorrow. My two lunch time classes were great this week as I got to work along side my co-worker which turned into a mini competition. Really though I'm grateful that I have someone who constantly pushes me especially when it comes to strength training. It's something that I really struggle with on my own, so having him around to provide some encouragement in the form of friendly naturally ingrained competitiveness is awesome.
2. I'm sad to report that our first offer on the Lauderdale house was rejected. But I'm happy to report that our second offer was accepted!!! Pending appraisal and inspection we will be homeowners mid March-ish!!
3. I know it's the Olympics and all and I probably should be more excited about it but….It's also Fashion Week. Priorities.
4. Today is my 5 month wedding anniversary. I just realized that by looking at the date on my monitor. I think that is the ball of twine anniversary or something like that. Either way, with that and our offer on the house being accepted we will be celebrating tonight!
5. Well it is the start of Fashion Week after all…

More specifically, it is Psychiatric drug use VS Illicit drug abuse
If I have depression, or dysthymia, or an inability to experience pleasure (anhedonia), why do I need to take psychiatric drugs? I can take cocaine, amphetamine, heroin or opium too, they make me happy and feel high too. It reminded me of the patient who took his own life by jumping off from a building. He said gathering with his bunch of friends and taking those pills are his kind of pleasurable activities (case study here), just like women go shopping or people go gym. Yea, right, how about that? Take a few "pills" and I'm better?
Antidepressants like Prozac and Lexapro (the SSRIs) do not provide pleasure, it restores the capacity for pleasure. It is neither excitatory like cocaine nor satiating like heroin. The drug taker doesn't crave Prozac and does not feel relief when it enters the system. The desired effect, a change in responsiveness to ordinary pleasures, occur gradually and is unrelated to the daily act of consuming the drug. So unlike cocaine which produces quick, strong but short-lasting "high", people don't "usually" get addicted to the SSRIs.
Drug addicts use stimulant drugs hoping to cope with intolerable feelings. Without medication, they may experience little enjoyment. Prescribed medication makes drug addicts who kick the street-drug habit feel less empty and better able to enjoy ordinary pleasures. For the addict, the hope is to enhance the ability to "postpone gratification", something antidepressants may do by increasing the ability to imagine future pleasure. If and when ordinary pleasure becomes appealing (after a drug addict is treated with psychiatric medicine and begins to experience "ordinary pleasure"), it's hoped that self-understanding and self-control will follow (no longer rely on illicit drugs to achieve "instant pleasure").
So can we use anti-depressants (and some other medication) to treat stimulant drug addictions? I believe with a combination of behavioural therapies, and supports from the immediate family members, anti-depressants would work. But taking only anti-depressants without strong mental and motivation to quit and sufficient social supports is definitely not enough, not in long-term for sure.
Psychiatric Drug Abuse?
But anti-depressant drugs (focusing on SSRIs here) can also be abused. There are patients whose depression were treated with the SSRIs, once successfully weaned from the tablets, want to restart it, not because they are depressed, but because life seemed brighter when they were medicated. In psychiatry it's a bit difficult to decide where treatment ends and depression starts again.. but doesn't this seem a bit like taking illicit drugs? Same applies to people who take excessive anxiolytics (anti-anxiety drugs / tranquilisers) to make them calm and functional, how do we define when it's legal psychiatric drug abuse?
There are people who feel more mentally sharp and agile, talk more fluently, and more socially confident when they are on anti-depressants, they continue to take it even when they don't show any signs of depression at all. Unlike amphetamines which also make people more alert and productive but at the same time is addictive and causing paranoia, most of these SSRIs don't lead to any significant side effects (and (if) any discomfort tend to go away after first few days). So does this make it morally and ethically fine to take anti-depressants to increase alertness, quickness of thought, and verbal and mechanical fluency, in the absence of illness?
P.S. SSRIs stands for Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors, which are newer drugs used to treat depression, but also work for OCD and anxiety disorders. Some commonly used in Malaysia include Lexapro (Escitalopram), Prozac (Fluoxetine), Zoloft (Sertraline), Luvox (Fluvoxamine).
N.B. This post focuses more on major and minor depression, dysthymia and anhedonia.

What was the impetus for this?
A few years ago I had trouble getting pregnant and I took fertility drugs and got pregnant with twins. I watched those great baby shows on The Learning Channel and saw a woman who went to an artist and had a belly cast done. But one of the twins passed away in utero, and her death forced me into early labor. I ended up delivering Jake 27-and-a-half weeks along. He was 13 weeks premature. He was two pounds when I delivered him. And now he's great. He has very mild cerebral palsy -- nothing you would even detect. He's very smart.
So you never made it into the third trimester, when these belly casts are the most impressive? Right. Then a couple years later Nathan was a complete surprise, and this time I said I have to find one of those casts. There was a woman out in Colorado doing the belly casts and she had a Web site, so that's how I got the materials to do my cast.
What compelled you to do it at first?
I never felt more comfortable in my own skin than when I was pregnant. You have all those hormones coursing through your body. There are some women who want to have children but they don't like being pregnant; they feel horrible. I never felt more alive than when I had a baby growing inside me -- a human being, you know what I mean? And some of that was from having lost one, knowing what that felt like. There's things to remember the baby by -- the baby casts of the hands and the baby footprints and everything like that. Why not have something to remember the pregnancy, which for me was a spiritual thing?
How were you positioned when you did your own casts?
I did mine right on this couch, actually. You don't want to stand, because as you layer the plaster casting material, it starts to get heavy, and it will obviously fall to the ground. But you also don't want to lie flat, because then your belly flattens out and you don't get a true representation of your form. Sitting, your belly is really in its truest state. It's full. To prepare your belly, you cover the whole area with Vaseline. You end up using this entire jar of Vaseline -- which I provide in the kit -- and covering it with medical plaster.
Was this Colorado woman's kit much different than what you're selling now?
Hers was pretty similar to mine. There are other people who do this, and I'm not claiming to be a pioneer by any means.
Could someone do this by herself?
You could try to do it for yourself, but I don't know that it would work very well.
So I take it that it was your husband who assisted you.
And was that weird, fun, or what? What was his attitude?
He loved it. Because he spread the petroleum jelly on!
And one of the casts you've shown me is of your belly and your chest.
Yeah, exactly. Anyway, no, he thought it was great. For us it was neat, because he always touched my belly anyway when we were pregnant, so he had a really good time doing it.
This makes me think of that Vanity Fair cover a few years ago with Demi Moore naked and pregnant. Maybe that was reflecting a shift in attitude?
It showed how beautiful and natural it was. There's an interesting trend in the whole maternity business. Years ago women wore the big, frumpy clothes to sort of hide their bellies, and now the trend really is the tighter-fitting clothes to show the bellies. They have maternity bathing suits that are bikinis. My target really is those women who don't mind showing off their bellies and think the pregnancy thing is actually a cool thing.
On your Web site, along with suggesting you can hang these on your wall or paint them, don't you mention getting it bronzed as an option?
You can send it away to get it bronzed.
And then it could be -- what? -- a salad bowl or something?
Exactly! I think it would be a great conversation piece to have this giant fruit bowl on your table and then you tell people what it is.

As a congregation, we rejoice in the knowledge that through faith, our members will receive a crown of life in Heaven. Since life in Heaven is forever, there is no better reward than that. When you worship with us, your time will be focused on the joy of knowing that Christ is our Redeemer and giving thanks to Him will bring you peace in this world and everlasting life in the next.
The story of St. John Lutheran Church began in a Lawton, OK home in 1912. Three families of Russian and German descent gathered regularly to grow spiritually and share their joys with their neighbors.
In November 1916, the church was established as a part of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod. The building sat at the corner of 7th Street and A Avenue. Proteges of Frank Lloyd Wright designed and built a new church in 1950. It was the first public building in Lawton with air conditioning. Over the years, our church community grew steadily. We added classrooms, office spaces and a fellowship hall in 1989. In 1996, we opened St. John Lutheran Preschool.
St. John Lutheran Church is dedicated to the spiritual needs of our congregation. Join us in our church home to seek the truth of God and strengthen your faith in his everlasting love.
Here are three ways you can get involved in our congregation:

|To date, the main cardiovascular application of TDI (tissue Doppler imaging) has been in myocardial evaluation. In the present study, we investigated the feasibility and reproducibility of assessing arterial elasticity using the DC (distensibility coefficient) measured by TDI, the correlation of this with the DC obtained by other methods and the DC in patients with various degrees of cardiovascular risk. We studied 450 subjects (256 men; age, 51+/-10 years) with and without risk factors of cardiovascular disease. Arterial displacement was measured from TDI, and B-mode and M-mode images of the common carotid artery in the longitudinal plane, and the DC with each method was compared. Linear regression showed a good correlation between all three methods. The results for TDI and B-mode were comparable [(21+/-10) compared with (21+/-10)x10(-3)/kPa respectively; P=not significant], but there were significant differences between TDI and M-mode [(21+/-10) compared with (31+/-13)x10(-3)/kPa respectively; P<0.0001] and between B-mode and M-mode [(21+/-10) compared with (31+/-13)x10(-3)/kPa respectively; P<0.0001]. Similarly, Bland-Altman analysis showed the least variability in the DC between TDI and B-mode, and there were no significant differences between the average measurements. The TDI DC also had the lowest paired difference for inter-observer variability [(-0.1+/-1.1)x10(-3)/kPa; P=not significant]. In conclusion, the results of the present study suggest that TDI of the carotid arteries is feasible, comparable with B-mode measurements, more robust than M-mode and less variable than the other methods.

Yesterday, I was privileged to hear an inspiring homily on the Gospel of John 2: 13-25 where Jesus drives the moneychangers and merchants out of the temple declaring:
"Take these out of here, and stop making my Father's house a marketplace."
His disciples recalled the words of Scripture, Zeal for your house will consume me.
Our priest keyed in on two parts of these lines. First, Jesus calls the temple "my Father's house," a very intimate description for a building. Also, the zeal Jesus demonstrates in protecting the house is consuming. I hope you can follow me, because I certainly cannot explain this as eloquently as Father did.
We are told elsewhere in Scripture (1 Cor. 6:19) that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, thus houses of God. When we eat His body and drink His blood, He comes to dwell in us. And, Jesus is consumed with protecting us when we embrace Him within. Yes, He delights in coming to us in the Eucharist and will never fail to defend our honor when we accept this gift.
I am humbled reflecting on this Truth. Father mentioned that God does not turn up his nose at the filth in our souls. He does not reluctantly take up residence when we invite Him. He delights in our invitation and our acceptance whenever and however we choose to welcome Him.
My Lent has been full of ups and downs here, mostly small things but things that nevertheless can chip away at my focus in this holy season. I have been consciously striving to remember Christ is among us. To realize that truly He resides within us and is overjoyed when we acknowledge Him despite our inadequacies, knocks my socks off!
Not only was it Christ's delight to walk among men on this Earth, but also it is His delight to daily enter the temples that are our bodies and defend our quest for holiness with zeal. Amidst so many distractions and temptations, it is so motivating for me to imagine Christ's delight every time I recall His presence.
I pray, dear friends, that your Lenten journey is continuing with perseverance and that you, too, may find joy in such remarkable love!

The Crypt, St Marylebone Parish Church, 17 Marylebone Road, London, NW1 5LT
2018 Mon – Fri 9am-5pm, Sat 9am-4pm*
Private View: Tuesday 3 October, 6-8pm
Panel Discussion: Friday 17 November, 3-5pm
Over the last few years, Contemporary British Painting has staged a program of exhibitions in the crypt of St Marylebone Church, one of the aims has been to provide a forum for discussion on current painting practice.
As underlined in the recent group show Anything Goes? at Art Bermondsey curated by Anna McNay, the one thing that characterises contemporary painting is that each artist pursues a very individual practice. Gone are the days when 'isms' gave us useful labels by which to identify an art movement as defined by a group of artists. Instead current painters borrow, beg and steal from every imaginable source in service to the art to which they are devoted. Alongside this, each artist, painter or not, engages in an ongoing dialogue with her or his peers, of which there is a vast pool both historically as well as currently. This dialogue takes place in as many ways as there are of approaching the making of art, from direct copying to responses alongside or in opposition to someone's work. In any case, the very nature of painting is one of putting in the hours in whatever serves as a studio, a hermit-like pursuit in front of a flat surface. Each painting produced with this intention, is itself a strong statement that adds to the mix and then seeds others in turn.
With this in mind, the theme of this exhibition is works that the artist feels are something new or different with their own practice over the year. These are not necessarily 'finished' as such, but instead provide stimulus to a discussion as to what has happened over the last twelve months. As such, they might be sketches, drawings or indeed completed canvases.
The new or different area of practice could well be a radical departure or indeed very slight. In either event, the purpose of this exhibition is not necessarily to showcase completed works that might be considered ready for sale in the usual sense. Instead, the artists have very generously opened up their practices and have invited us to experience something that they feel is worth discussing.
Contemporary British Painting is a strong community and this is a great opportunity to see what normally does not leave the studio. It gives a chance to be with the artist and view, meet and discuss what is happening right now.
