PMP Product Reviews
Nailed it!
"I passed my PMP exam yesterday and am happy to share my experience. I used the premium vce file for exam preparation, and it was amazingly useful. I have years of project management experience and it first thought I would not need any additional learning, but the exam is challenging. It is based on PMBOK, which is plain theory and concepts developed by the PMI. So you may be good at your job, but fail the exam because you have messed up their terminology about stages of project planning... this is why I came to this website. The questions were valid, and so was the file overall. I'm positively surprised!
Ashleigh T."
I passed
"I found the PMP exam really overwhelming, maybe because I downloaded this VCE file only a few days before my exam date. I tried to memorize as much as possible, but was very nervous in the testing center. I passed, mainly because the vce file was valid and I knew answers to most of the questions. There were a lot of questions on project planning stages and methodologies!!! Lesson learned: be sure to study well, even if you have the file. But I passed, and this is what matters.
Ronnie X."
Extremely useful!
"The file had around 80% of real PMP questions, mostly based on PMBOK and other PMI publications. PMI questions are tricky and sometimes focus on small details and terminology aspects, and this is where the vce file has really helped me. It also contained useful info on KPIs and project evaluation methodology and approaches. Some quantitative analysis too. Overall, very useful and great experience throughout.
Vce is a great idea!
"PMI has set up a long and painful process for the PMP certification, with lots of stages and paperwork to submit. By the time I got to my exam, I felt like forgot all I ever read. This is why I purchased this braindump - to brush up my knowledge. It was a great idea, since, surprisingly, most questions were real, and I knew the answers when I got to my exam. Lots of project evaluation questions and this PMI typical stuff. Memorize the PMBOK or download your braindump!
Good exam prep
"Good exam preparation - I relied on the premium vce dump when I was getting ready for my PMP exam. Questions were real, so passing the exam was easier. Some questions, like setting goals and evaluation process are a little confusing, so it's good to know them before the exam.
Julia R."

Union minister Dinsha Patel to take on Modi in Maninagar
Sheela Bhatt in Gandhinagar | November 27, 2007 17:42 IST
Dinsha J Patel, minister of state for petroleum and gas, will take on Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi from Maninagar in next month's assembly election.
Patel, a Congress member of Parliament from Kaira in Gujarat, was chosen to take on Modi in what is considered the latter's stronghold. There were initially not many Congress leaders willing to take on Modi, but Patel, sources said, evinced interest in the electoral battle. The Congress seems to have decided to seriously join the battle.
If Modi is banking on his image to see him through, the Congress too seems to have chosen a perfect contender against him. Patel is said to be the Congress's Mr Clean, and in a political career spanning four decades he has remained untouched by any scandal.
It should be an interesting contest. If Patel does the unthinkable and brings Modi down, he will earn the tag of a giant-killer, which should enable him to make a strong bid for the chief ministership if the Congress manages to trounce the Bharatiya Janata Party.

The CGX has been completely redesigned to offer a big step forward compared to the previous CGEM. The new design hides updated mechanics with a more rigid structure than the CGEM: in fact CGX has now 25 kg of payload capacity. Tranks to new motors, the mount has more torque and offers better performance even with heavy loads. Moreover, the motors are connected to the worm gear with a belt and this has allowed to minimize the backlash also improving the performance for the long-exposure astrophotography.
The CGX mount is equipped with a Home position sensors to enable it to perfectly define the limits telescope move. The CGX allows you to track the object pointed up to 20° over the meridian: then limit sensors automatically shut off slewing or tracking before reaching the hard stop fail safe. The position of the CGX head is also adjustable to optimize the center of gravity on the tripod and to allow a greater range of latitude, from 3 to 65 degrees. The CGX has double dovetail clamp with Vixen to Losmandy type plate connection.

A radio vet and Bloomberg News reporter, Charlie Pellett has made a living off his speaking talents, but perhaps his most lasting contribution to his city will be the one day of MTA work he did. The noticeable difference in clarity between his announcements and the ones on the older trains may explain why some people become voice stars, and others become train conductors – you can actually understand him!

"Jurassic Journey" is the latest presentation by the award winning photographer, who has been the stills man for David Attenborough. "Jurassic Journey" is Ben Osborne's story of the Dorset and East Devon World Heritage Site, the Jurassic Coast, inspired by its geology, wildlife, culture, its people and its landscapes.

I've got a touch of the drop-sies today! Things I pick up seem to just hit the floor. I'm not worried by it though. So when I dropped half the deck, I just sighed, picked them all back up and away I went.
So, this is what we have for today. I've not pulled this card out before so I thought I'd share the image below (Please remember I have Will Worthington's permission to do this, thank you!) For the first time since looking at this card, I notice the three cranes sitting in the water off to the back left, behind the weave. And the moon is partially out, waning while the sun is out on the other side. I didn't notice the sun until I was putting the picture into the blog post.
The Wheel in traditional RWS The Wheel signifies a time of change, usually for the better. This tunic is being weaved, it is blending into the environment from which it was taken and will be used. Another subtle hint I think that I need to pay attention to or make of.
Which way will The Wheel turn? If only to be rid of the sadness and sudden death in the family over the school holidays, I would like it to be towards the sun please!

After suffering one of the worst down weeks in US share trading history (last week's stock market decline was one of the worst on record), the Dow Industrials and S&P 500 both staged magnificent one-day rallies Monday.
More on this from Bloomberg:
"U.S. stocks staged the biggest rally in seven decades on a government plan to buy stakes in banks and a Federal Reserve-led push to flood the global financial system with dollars.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index rebounded from its worst week in 75 years with an 11.6 percent advance, its steepest since 1939, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed more than 936 points. Morgan Stanley soared 87 percent after sealing a $9 billion investment from Japan's Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc. Alcoa Inc., General Motors Corp. and Chevron Corp. climbed more than 20 percent each as all 10 industries in the S&P 500 added more than 7 percent.
The S&P 500 rose 104.13 points to 1,003.35. The Dow increased 936.42, or 11 percent, to 9,387.61, eclipsing its previous record 499-point gain in March 2000 and posting its best percentage advance since March 1933. The Nasdaq Composite Index increased 194.74, or 12 percent, to 1,844.25. Thirteen stocks gained for each that fell on the New York Stock Exchange."
Guess the markets really liked the recently discussed Treasury plans to buy ownership stakes in banks.
Still, as Bear Mountain Bull points out, we'll need a bit more upside action during the rest of the week to make up for recent losses in the Dow.
More on today's market action, and plenty else in our related articles and posts section below.

One year. In one year, Elsa will finally go to college and move out from the...
Elsa loves and learns, while Anna learns what it feels like to love. ...
Stories that take place in the Canon universe and timeline, with the normal cast of characters.
Stories that put Elsa and Anna into a different ship altogether, like "Legend of Korra".
Stories that take place in a similar time and place to the movie, but the characters and relationships may differ significantly from the norm.
Really short works, including Poems, Drabbles and Three Sentence Fics.
Stories that place in a contemporary time and place. Includes High School, College, Business, Starbucks, etc.
These are non-Elsanna works by our Elsanna authors.
Stories that place in a unique time and place. This includes Sci-Fi, Superhero, Vampire, Steampunk, etc.
Copies of author interviews from a variety of sources including the Elsanna Positivity Project.
More than just an archive, we also offer current stories, interviews and a place to check for the latest Elsanna news.
If you are an author, please read our Submission Guidelines before posting. This site is primarily dedicated to Elsanna fiction...not Kristanna, Helsa or the like. Still, if you are an Elsanna author, you are welcome to post your other great stories in the "Non-Elsanna" category. You may also want to check out our Editting Tips and Tricks before you make your first post.
That's right, the Elsanna Fan Fiction archive will be moving... logically anyway. Sometime in June, we will be moving a new web address as we consolidate the Art, Fiction and Wiki sites to a single server on the brand new Elsanna.Fans domain.
If you are wondering why we are dcoing this, that's easy! We are tired of sites like fanfiction.net and tumblr making decsions on what is "acceptable" content. So we are going to host it all on our own server. A site created and run by the fans.
As we get closer, I will put out communications on the new site and how to reach it. Stay tuned!

Curly hair. Is it a curse or a blessing? My answer in high school—curse! My answer now—well, that depends on the day, occasion, and humidity level. But, generally speaking, I would say blessing because I have finally learned, or accepted, how to deal with my
So I ask. No shame. It is slightly out of the comfort zone. Slightly awkward. But, when it comes to perfect curls, I ain't messing around.
For Instance. The lady at the park with the perfect, dark, spiral curls (not made by the curling iron—I can tell the difference). I needed to know her secret.
This is how it went:
"Um, excuse me. Hi. I know this is a little odd, but I just wanted to tell you that you have such pretty curly hair. Could you tell me what you use?"
She was great, and so sweet. She thanked me and I could totally tell she understood. Us curly haired understand. (All you curly haired out there are probably nodding your head right now.)
When she shared her "secret" she was laughing because it was so surprisingly simple, and CHEAP! She said, "You remember the gel that was popular in junior high called L.A. Looks? The big yellow bottle that is like two bucks. I use that! After spending tons of money on expensive products, and it's that gel that works for me!"
I was shocked. Shocked!
She even had more to share—she was all sorts of information. She said that her hairdresser suggested she only wash her hair with shampoo ONCE a week. All the other times she just rinsed with conditioner and used a hair pick in the shower to comb it through.
What!? Well I tell you what. She had fabulous curls so I was going to give her "secret" a try.
I bought the gel and a hair comb.
And off to the shower I went. I shampooed and conditioned my hair as normal, but this time combed it through.
I wish I was a bit more hair geeky and nosy and asked how she styled her hair once she got out of the shower. Like, did she put the gel in first and then comb it through, did she use a brush? Did she comb it or brush it out and then put the gel in? Did she scrunch it? Did she air dry it? Did she blow dry it?
(This may seem like a lot of inconsequential questions, but if you have curly you understand.)
I just had to wing it.
I decided to do it as follows:
Towel-dry hair, put gel in hair, comb out hair, scrunch hair with towel, air dry while I put makeup on, then diffuse blow-dry.
This was the end look. I manually curled the very front bang area with the curling iron because I have freak-a-zoid curls there that need serious help.
Here is the thing about curls. NO TWO HEADS OF CURLS ARE ALIKE. However, this style result was very similar to the pretty brunette curls lady at the park.
Personally, I like my curls to look soft. Not wet or crunchy, and I thought this was on the more wet, crunchy side. But it definitely was not frizzy, so that was good. Actually, I think this look is better on brunettes. I think blonde hair reflects more light and makes it look wetter or something. This look does give more defined curls though. So if you like, maybe L.A. Looks is the gel for you!
After this try, I gave the L.A. Looks Gel a few more chances, but I concluded that it was not the product for me, and I went back to what I've been using for about a year now.
Garnier Fructis Style "Curl Construct Mousse"
It's super cheap! It is light weight, and gives me the soft look and soft touch curls I like. As seen in many of my blog photos…
…with a little help from my curling iron {wink}.
Class Dismissed.

MSC Starts Clean up in Dutch Waters after Container Spill
MSC has started cleaning up Dutch sea waters, 10 days after it lost nearly 300 containers from one of its largest cargo vessels in a storm.
"The clean up will likely take months," Dutch water authorities spokesman Edwin de Feijter said. "The largest part of the debris has been located, but there are still parts missing."
291 containers, some holding hazardous chemicals, fell off one of the world's largest container ships, the MSC Zoe, on Jan. 2 in German waters near the island of Borkum during a North Sea storm.
Two salvage ships left the harbor at IJmuiden, near Amsterdam, heading towards a container north of the tiny Rottumerplaat island, which is blocking an important shipping route between Germany and the Netherlands.
Work was planned to start at midday on Saturday, but rough weather looked set to delay the operation, De Feijter said, adding that 238 objects had been identified in the water so far.
"Those objects are not all entire containers, they can also be part of the cargo lost from broken ones."
Seventeen containers washed up on shore on the Dutch islands of Terschelling, Vlieland, Ameland and Schiermonnikoog, with the debris of many others littering the islands' beaches.
MSC, the world's no. 2 container shipping group, on Wednesday said it had made significant progress on the Dutch islands, with a total of 1,220 tonnes of debris collected so far.
Dutch authorities last week said they would hold MSC liable for the cost of cleaning up the waters.
Roughly 100 soldiers joined the clean-up operation last week, while local authorities and volunteers had already gathered up tonnes of waste from several kilometers of coastline.

Despite the hype, cloud applications do not rule the large corporation, although their usage is expected to increase significantly. Cloud applications are still in the minority of all applications in companies (19% of the average large U.S. company's applications, 12% in Europe, 28% in Asia-Pacific, and a healthy 39% in Latin American companies). But they expect the ratio of cloud to on-premises applications to increase greatly by 2014. The case of Australia's largest bank, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, illustrates why many companies have gained a voracious appetite for cloud applications.
- Cloud applications as a percent of total applications (by region of world)
- Cloud applications as a percent of total applications (by size of company)
- Case Study: Commonwealth Bank of Australia
Despite all the press and technology research firm coverage of cloud computing in the last few years (especially in 2011), software applications that are hosted in public or private clouds still represent only a minority of total applications software for large companies. The clear majority of applications in 2011 – 81% in the U.S. companies and 88% in European companies – were resident on computers located on their premises.
To a lesser extent, this was also the case in the Asia-Pacific and Latin American companies that we surveyed. In Asia-Pacific, on-premises applications were 72% of all applications in 2011, while 28% were based in the cloud. In Latin America, 61% of all corporate applications software were on-premises vs. 39% that were in the cloud.
However, the companies we surveyed expected these percentages to change significantly by 2014. American companies projected cloud applications to increase from 19% of all applications (cloud + on-premises) to 34% by then. The European companies surveyed expected that cloud applications as a percent of total applications would double, from 12% in 2011 to 24% by 2014.
In Asia-Pacific and Latin America, cloud applications are expected to be at least half of total corporate applications by 2014 – 50% for Asia-Pacific companies and 56% for Latin American firms.
The comparisons of the above regions reflect a mix of company sizes, both large and mid-sized. For example, 88% of the European respondents had revenue of at least $1 billion, while 75% of the Asia-Pacific and 49% of the Latin American respondents were $1 billion+. Even if we look only at companies with at least $1 billion in annual revenue in all four regions of the world, cloud applications as a percent of total corporation applications show a trend similar to the overall results.
In the U.S., $1B-$10B Companies Have the Greatest Percentage of Cloud Apps
In each region, we looked at cloud apps as a percent of total apps by company size and saw some interesting patterns. One was that in American companies the "mid-sized" large firms ($1 billion to $10 billion in revenue) were the heaviest users of cloud applications. In these companies, cloud applications represented 27%-28% of total applications. And by 2014, U.S. companies with revenue of between $1B-$5B said they expected cloud applications to be 52% of all applications – more than twice the percentage (23%) expected by companies of more than $50B in revenue. (See Exhibit II-3.)
In contrast, cloud applications were only 14%-17% of total applications in companies with revenue of more than $10 billion. In Europe, there was much less variation in cloud applications as a percent of total applications by company size (for 2011, and projected for 2014). (See Exhibit II-4 below.)
Cloud Adoption: Reaching Critical Mass
The numbers showing future cloud usage by 2014 are striking – ranging from one-quarter of all corporate applications being in the cloud in Europe, to one-third in U.S. companies to about half in Asia-Pacific and Latin American companies. Yet even though these numbers are projections of future adoption trends, we nonetheless believe that large corporations have passed the inflection point, or critical mass, in adopting cloud applications – at the very least, in private clouds that a company owns (or are run for them by a third party).
Our study of a large telco illustrates this point. Today, about 30% of its applications are cloud-based (mostly private cloud-based systems that it runs in its own data centers). In the last two years, the company has moved all its financial systems for its general ledger, payables and fixed assets to the cloud. At the end of 2011, it was moving all HR applications to the cloud, standardizing on SAP and other enterprise applications. However, by the end of this year the company expects 80% of its applications to be in its private clouds. The company has also launched many new cloud applications that had no on-premises predecessors. A good number of these were cloud-based financial applications – specifically, general ledger and fixed asset applications that are helping the company track its sizable capital investments in both its wire-line and wireless networks.
The telecommunications services company's aggressive of adoption of cloud computing was far from unusual, even outside the U.S. Consider the Commonwealth Bank of Australia. The bank began shifting applications to the cloud in 2008. Today, the bank has dozens of cloud applications serving its sales, customer service, HR, operations and IT functions. And the bank continues to identify which of its more than 3,500 applications that it has amassed over the last 30 years can (and can't) be shifted to the cloud. The objective, however, is to put as many applications into the cloud as possible, said Dilan Rajasingham, executive advisor to the bank's chief information officer. (See case study below.)
Commonwealth Bank of Australia: Using the Cloud to Fund a Wave of Innovative Financial Services
Founded exactly 100 years ago and headquartered today in Australia's largest city (Sydney), Commonwealth Bank of Australia is the country's largest bank, with revenue of US $35 billion. Naturally, as a large financial institution, the bank has a healthy appetite for IT, spending nearly $1 billion on it annually. It has more than 3,500 software applications, amassed over 30 years.
That's where cloud computing comes in: Given the bank's penchant for introducing a steady stream of innovative technology-based services to its retail and other customers, it must find ways to economize on IT. Four years ago, the bank launched what it refers to as a core banking modernization program for its vast number of information systems. It has also been identifying applications that should go in public clouds, a private cloud or a hybrid of the two.
By shifting dozens of on-premises applications to the cloud starting four years ago, the bank has reduced operational costs. This has freed up money that the bank has reallocated into delivering new services. "We want to get out of infrastructure computing and into fine-grain components and highly granular data so that our customers enjoy new services," the bank's chief information officer, Michael Harte, explained to CIO magazine.
To reduce costs, CBA has created "As a Service"/cloud offerings in sales, customer service, HR, operations and IT applications and environments over the last four years, says Dilan Rajasingham, executive adviser to the CIO. Some of these are core enterprise systems – e.g., payments and talent management, while others are pilots and proof of concepts such as "Big Data," and others still are support environments such as development and testing.
How can moving to "As a Service" and cloud reduce IT costs at CBA? A prime example is the bank's "as a service" payment hub. By developing a single payment solution once to be used across the bank, from front office to back office, and with standard interfaces, CBA has achieved significant savings in system integration and development costs and time. Components of the solution's modular architecture, such as SWIFT (for international money transfers), have also been extended to CBA group entities across Australia and Asia.
The bank has also become a provider of cloud services to its customers. For example:
- It has collaborated with pharmaceutical, manufacturing, and distribution companies – and even other banks — in the creation and provision of cloud-based databases "as a service."
- It provides cloud infrastructure services running on CBA servers (as well as the capability to run on Amazon's cloud servers). With these services, CBA develops and tests new computing applications used internally and externally. Harte told CIO magazine that the bank can launch new cloud computing services in less than 10 minutes and at as little as one-tenth the cost of testing and developing applications in the past.
So how do you add up the benefits? Rajasingham categorizes them in three ways:
- Cost reduction. For example, "as a service" storage has cut CBA's cost of computing storage by around 40%. Even more impressively, the "as a service" overdraft offering has reduced processing time of standard overdrafts by 90%. Harte told the Australian Financial Review that CBA was "saving tens of millions of dollars and [potentially] hundreds of millions [over the next three or four years] from buying services on demand, paying a unit price for them and having the flexibility."
- Faster development of computer systems. The bank refers to this benefit as one of "agility." The bank's payment system – which combines a stack of technologies necessary to offer payment services (the application, its underlying middleware, operating system and other infrastructure, and the server and storage hardware) – is a case in point. No longer does the bank need to build a new payment system every time a business unit or department asks for one.
- Mindset shifts from getting business units to share IT applications. CBA's HR function has adopted so-called talent management applications to better understand trends in turnover, recruitment, hiring patterns and future hiring needs, absenteeism and other areas. CBA has created a cloud-based talent management application that any of its banking units – e.g., Bankwest (a 2008 acquisition) and ASB (its New Zealand bank) – could adopt. This has reduced costs dramatically.
Harte has talked publicly about how the IT infrastructure cost savings from cloud computing is freeing up time and money for CBA to focus on providing new banking services (much of it online) that let customers do such things as get offers on financial products in real time. This is because more bank people can now focus on evaluating customers' individual needs and pricing products and services based on their risk profile and loyalty. Cloud computing, he said, will let CBA shift from spending "half of our budget on maintaining lights-on [IT] infrastructure, and get more of that money into creating really high-value, highly responsive services." He sees cloud computing as enabling banks like CBA to invest less in the backend IT infrastructure and more in online banking services that customers have come to demand – applications to bank from their mobile phones, tablet computers and other digital devices.
Shifting technology spending from backroom to front office applications is necessary because banks are no longer competing just against other banks in exploding areas such as mobile payments, CBA's CEO Ralph Norris said in a 2011 presentation to investors. "Our business is not going to be about competing against banks or other current payment players; it's against phone companies, providers of technology themselves, and the new social media entities," said Norris. "You have to bring to bear new features and functions that are going to resonate with customers using those sorts of facilities."

Depression and Anxiety in Teenagers is common. It is such a fragile time of life where our young people mature and grow into themselves. A time when they find out who they are and what they want from life. When I think of teenagers I always think of 3 words – potential, potential, potential! The teen years are a time of massive potential but alas it can also be an intense time of deep stress, depression and anxiety.
What is causing depression and anxiety in teenagers?
Stress of school, body-image worries, bullying on and offline, finding their sexuality, frustration, lack of confidence, a feeling of not fitting in, fear of being different, family conflicts, loneliness, uncertainty, trying to make the team, all can lead to depression and anxiety in teenagers. Living in the 'social media' world that we all do puts a huge pressure on young teens – supposed to look a particular way, supposed to like a particular music, supposed to dress in particular clothes. And of course whatever they post online is seen by everybody so it must look good to their peers – kind of like 'marketing' themselves.
It is normal for teenagers to have worries and fears and learn some coping skills. But when worries and fears don't resolve, and are interfering in your child's academic, social and everyday life, then help is needed.
Some of the physical and hormonal changes experienced during the teenage years can cause much distress – hormones, mood swings, anger, skin problems, acne, eating disorders, periods for girls, sexuality. These are all easily treated with homeopathy.
I can help with all of this. There are some specific remedies which can be used in the teenage years – ones that are focused on this emotional and hormonal phase of life. Finding a remedy which matches a teenager involves having a full consultation with me – more information on this here.
There are specific therapeutic remedies for acne and spots, something I get asked about a lot. Other remedies can be given specifically for exam nerves, or anxiety about an upcoming event, such as a sporting event. Some remedies are specific for easing period pains and PMT. There are remedies for sports injuries too. Lots of possibilities to help.
Treating depression and anxiety in teenagers, or any other emotional, physical or hormonal problems, usually requires a combination of remedies. This is such an intense time of change and maturing that I have found this to be the best approach.
If you feel your teenager needs help, then please book in for an appointment with me. Or avail of the FREE 15 minute Skype chat that I offer. There's no obligation with this chat, it gives you and your child an opportunity to ask questions and gives me the opportunity to explain my treatment approach in more detail. This button takes you to my calendar page where you can book a full consultation or the 15 minute free chat.
Or feel free to Contact me directly for more information.

Accommodations in Barcelona
Barcelona is a city known for its architecture and its culture. Walk around the Eixample district if you want to admire Gaudí's famous creations, Casa Batlló and Casa Milá. Visit the city's symbol, the Sagrada Familia, a yet unfinished cathedral overlooking Barcelona.
If you are into Gothic architecture, then the historical Gothic Quarter is the ideal place to stay during your visit to Barcelona. Here you will find Barcelona's Cathedral, a variety of medieval buildings and plenty of vintage shops.
Food plays a vital part in the city's life. Stroll around the stalls of the colourful Boquería market, or enjoy local tapas around La Rambla. If you get tired of exploring the city's many landmarks, take some time off and relax on the Barceloneta beach, a urban beach close to the city centre.

text: Languages › French Conjugating the Verb "Skier" Share Flipboard Email Print Jon Damon/Flickr/ CC BY 2.0 French Vocabulary Pronunciation & Conversation Grammar Resources For Teachers by ThoughtCo Updated July 18, 2019 Skier, pronounced "skee ay," is a regular French -er verb that means "to ski," as in:Skier en compétition > to ski competitivelySkier hors piste > to ski off pisteTu sais skier? > Do you know how to ski? / Can you ski?J'apprends à skier. > I'm learning to ski.J'aimerai aller skier plus souvent. > I'd like to go skiing more often.Je vais skier tous les dimanches. > I go skiing every Sunday.An alternative construction is faire du ski, which means "to go skiing." The verb skier is frequently used together with aller in aller skier, which also means "to go skiing." The sport itself is called skiing in French, as it is in English. 'Skier' Is a Regular French '-er' VerbThe majority of French verbs are regular -er verbs, as skier is. (There are five main kinds of verbs in French: regular -er, -ir, -re; stem-changing; and irregular verbs.)To conjugate a regular French -er verb, remove the -er ending from the infinitive to reveal the verb's stem. Then add the regular -er endings to the stem. Note that all regular -er verbs share conjugation patterns in all tenses and moods.Verbs Ending in '-ier' Are '-er' VerbsBelow are all the simple conjugations of the verb skier. The compound conjugations, which include a conjugated form of the auxiliary verb avoir and the past participle skié, are not included.Don't let the fact that skier ends in -ier throw you. It still takes all the regular -er endings. You will see a double i in several forms of the verb; that is normal and does not need to be corrected. Etudier, another verb ending in -ier on the list below, also functions the same as any other regular -er verb. You can apply the same endings in the table to any of the regular French -er verbs listed below.SOME COMMON FRENCH REGULAR '-ER' VERBSFrench regular -er verbs, by far the largest group of French verbs, share a conjugation pattern. Here are just a few of the most common regular -er verbs:aimer > to like, to love arriver > to arrive, to happenchanter > to singchercher > to look forcommencer* > to begindanse > to dancedemander > to ask fordépenser > to spend (money)détester > to hatedonner > to giveécouter > to listen toétudier** > to studyfermer > to closegoûte > to tastejouer > to playlaver > to washmanger* > to eatnager* > to swimparler > to talk, to speakpasse > to pass, spend (time)penser > to thinkporter > to wear, to carryregarder > to watch, to look atrêver > to dreamsembler > to seemskier** > to skitravailler > to worktrouve > to findvisiter > to visit (a place)voler > to fly, to steal*All regular -er verbs are conjugated according to the regular -er verb conjugation pattern, except for one small irregularity in verbs that end in -ger and -cer, known as spelling-change verbs.**Though conjugated just like regular -er verbs, watch out for verbs that end in -ier.Simple Conjugations of the Regular 'er' Verb 'Skier' Present Future Imperfect Present participlejeskieskieraiskiaisskiant tuskiesskierasskiais ilskieskieraskiaitPassé composénousskionsskieronsskiions Auxiliary verb avoirvousskiezskierezskiiez Past participle skiéilsskientskierontskiaient Subjunctive Conditional Passé simple Imperfect subjunctivejeskieskieraisskiaiskiassetuskiesskieraisskiasskiassesilskieskieraitskiaskiâtnousskiionsskierionsskiâmesskiassionsvousskiiezskieriezskiâtesskiassiezilsskientskieraientskièrentskiassent Imperative (tu)skie (nous) skions (vous)skiez Continue Reading

Ride #3: Progress!
Yesterday I rode Panama again, for our third ride this year (and our third ride after our long break). It was a good ride and I was very pleased! No pictures today, though.
We rode with a friend, and Pan was very excited to be riding with another horse, especially this particular horse -- they are both playful horses, and they very much wanted to play. Panama was good though, and held it together.
We did much the same as our other rides, just walked and trotted. I'm still holding off cantering until I feel he's a little stronger. I noticed some improvements this time though, and it gives me hope that both of us will improve quickly if I can keep up the frequent rides.
We rode outside, where unfortunately the footing is a little deeper, so it makes Panama work harder -- he really has to pick his feet up! Our first ride out there, on Sunday, I noticed he quickly got fatigued. When he gets tired, I can tell because his trot starts feeling choppy and uneven.
Well, yesterday it took much longer for him to start getting tired and uncoordinated. Progress! I also didn't feel sore at all after all of our trotting (and my posting), which bodes well for my rehab, too.
For the most part I've been trying to ride him every other day, in case he's sore in between rides, but today we'll be riding again. I'm picking up V. this afternoon and taking her riding, like we did last Sunday.
Riding with V. is nice, especially since I'm not taking care of her and her brother anymore. It's good to spend some time with her, and it's also good for Rondo to be ridden a little more frequently. (I also have a leaser, H., who rides him once a week.)
I have all kinds of other news, but that will have to wait for another post. In the meantime, I have some work to do before I pick up V.!

The West Australian Kendo Renmei (Inc), (WAKR), serves as the West Australian branch of the Australian Kendo Renmei, which in turn serves as the Australian branch of the Federation of International Kendo (FIK).
This structure is enforced by the FIK to maintain control on the growth and development of Kendo world wide. In particular the FIK tries to maintain a fixed "style" which is very rare among the martial arts.
The WAKR was founded by Ramon Lawrence and Michael Parsonage in 1986, officially commencing training on the 21st September. The WAKR was set up along the lines of some other successfully run sporting organisations with all its officers elected each year at the AGM. The committee consists of these officers together with one delegate from each club with a membership of more than ten members. The clubs are run independently but collaborate on matters to do with the WAKR.
Training is conducted in Kendo, Zen Ken Ren Iaido and Jodo. In addition, advanced students of Iaido and Jodo study Koryu (Classical Styles), Iaido: Tamiya Ryu and Muso Shinden Ryu; Jodo: Shindo Muso Ryu.

The month of November has traditionally been recognized as National Caregiver Support Month and I have been bringing thoughts to you during the month on ways to think about caregiving and support of our worldly family and possessions. This past week many families gathered with friends and loved ones to celebrate Thanksgiving. Many are travelling home this weekend and we pray for their safe travels. Many spent the holiday alone, hospitalized, in care facilities recovering or coping with illness or injuries… Life journeys take us in many directions, and through it all our God has given us so much to be thankful for and so many helps in our journey.
This month I had opportunity to check in with a friend in a retirement home who was missing his family and had no real plans for the celebrations of Thanksgiving. I asked him if he had been searching scripture for ways to focus on the help our God can give. He admitted that he had not, because he didn't know where to look. I suggested we both think of a word for his feelings right now and we would search scripture, and I opened his computer to google search. He said he needed help with loneliness feelings, so we typed in "scripture verses about feeling lonely." His eyes lit up, he found verses and short Bible studies, and a week later came to me as I was doing a blood pressure clinic smiling from ear to ear and sharing his joy as he had found a way to remember how to focus on "the real meaning and purpose God has given."
Focusing our thoughts and heart on what God has for us, in the midst of all the social diversions in our life, can be a challenge for all of us at any given time in our life. This week we begin the Advent Season and the wonderful culmination with Christmas and the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. I hope that in the hustle and bustle of the secular and commercialized season focus, we can all find our true focus in what our God would have for us.
My grandchildren and I are going to bake cookies and give to folks around us as a thank you for their friendship. Many opportunities are out there right now as the weather gets colder for us to help: clear leaves to prevent falls, shop for those who cannot get out, help with cooking meals for those unable to do that, keep in touch with a note or picture or phone call. The list goes on, and so does the opportunity list God gives to us to find ways to say "thank you" and "I care."
I pray that each day you wake with a positive comforting knowledge that God is truly in charge, and the only task He gives us is to "Listen…God is calling" asking us to "Give thanks with a Grateful Heart." (I know you can find those hymns in our Lutheran Service Book!)
Blessed week to you all as we prepare the way of the Lord!
Cynthia Rutan, RN, Parish Nurse at Peace Lutheran Church and School

OMG Godzilla. That was amazing. I saw it in IMAX 3D, and I loved it. The special effects were cool! I should probably watch more of the Godzilla movies now. I haven't seen any of the others. Really cool stuff, though. Who else saw it? What did you think?

Biblical archaeology, with its concentration on the Levant, deals with the study of the archaeology of the Hebrew Scriptures and the New Testament. Through biblical archaeology scholars gain a fuller perception of the events and the lifeways of the peoples described in the Bible. In biblical archaeology we reconstruct the lifeways of biblical peoples and learn of the cultural change, known as cultural process, in their civilizations.
Culture in the study of ancient peoples refers to their learned and transmitted behavior over time. A procedural definition of biblical archaeology emphasizes the systematic recovery of the surviving remains of ancient civilizations in the Bible lands.
In its quest to illuminate our understanding of biblical times, biblical archaeology, reflects the defining characteristics of both the humanities and the sciences. Its focus is the production of knowledge concerning biblical peoples and their lifeways from their earliest beginnings through the period of the New Testament. The epistemological question challenging biblical archaeologists is--what can we know and how can we know it?
At one time the Bible, supported by other ancient texts such as the works of Flavius Josephus, Herodotus, and Eusebius, provided the structure for interpretation of bible lands sites and artifacts. Today biblical archaeologists place less emphasis upon written texts and draw more heavily upon the sciences to do their work. Some biblical archaeologists consider themselves scientists and others do not.
As the discipline becomes increasingly secularized its task is less the search for truth and more a search for facts. The underlying ends of biblical archaeology, a specialty in archaeology, are the advancement of scholarly knowledge through reconstruction of the lifeways of biblical peoples and their explanation.
When the primary means by which biblical archaeologists achieve these ends is by the discovery of the material culture of biblical peoples, through science informed by history, biblical archaeology is part of the social sciences. The desired outcome is explanation (see Scientific Archaeology).
When the primary means is by textual study, that is, by history informed by science, biblical archaeology is part of the humanities. The desired outcome is interpretation (see As History).
Another trend in archaeological thought is postmodernism. Biblical archaeologists following this approach draw upon the methods and principles of philosophical hermeneutics, to "read" the archaeological record, rather than those of science (see Postmodern Archaeology).

It is quite strange that Caroline's parents willed the mill and their home to Jim. I wonder what happened to Caroline. That's something to think about. I also wonder why Callie has an appointment with a neurologist.ReplyDelete
Your son Art reminds me of my brother Andrew. Once he took my sister's car without asking and drove it down a dead road and flew off the end into the woods. He banged his head pretty good and the car was not drivable. I guess that is boys for you. Loved the interview.ReplyDelete

I would like to know what happened to Caroline and why her parents gave the mill to a boy not their own???ReplyDelete

Enjoyed your interview with Authur. Neat that they've been friends since small boys, then wind up marrying sisters. I was so sorry that Louisa died. I sure hope there worries about the coming reports is better than it seems to them. The waiting is always hard. I also think it is neat that both would up owners of the places where they worked. I'll be glad when I ccan get the second book. MAXIE mac262(at)me(dot)comReplyDelete
