Ideal for short hair, as any longer would just end in a frizzy mess.
Great hold that lasts throughout the day, but 1 star deducted for being a chore to wash off the hands after application

If you want something that is better quality than a gel but delivers a similar look then this is deffinently the perfect product for you, it delivers a high shine with good pliable hold that instantly adds a suttle spikey look (not as spikey as a gel so it looks much better, not like your in primary school). I've heard that the smell isn't that great i will admit that it isn't as as nice as the other american crew products but it is still deffinently a pleasnt clean smell, I think somebody said that the smell was that awful that they had to spray aftershave on there head that is completely not the case, and I don't think american crew would let guys walk around smelling like a bin due all of there expert advice on grooming, so all in all its much better than a gel but with a similar look.

In the past week I had a lot on my plate at work, and that was my own fault, as I took on too much, and did not consider the amount of time that I had to my disposal. I pushed myself to do as much as I could, and as the weekend arrived, I felt that my body was exhausted, almost burnt out. I have experienced this before, and this week I have looked at the point more deeply, to see where it comes from, why I do this to myself, and how I can correct it.
Before I begin writing out this point, there are some basic facts that must be established. The physical body is a living organism, with great potential. It is possible to push the body far and beyond above what we believe to be possible. With self-will, we are able to work, push, and move ourselves further than what the mind is able to conceive – YET – there is a limit – and there are also points that must be considered when it comes to HOW we are pushing ourselves forward. Because the body can only take so much, AND, in pushing the body, and ourselves with it, we must give the body time to replenish, recuperate, and the movement must be natural.
What I have discovered is that, when I move myself with breath, which means moving in a steady, consistent pace, with room for breaks, detours, and leisure time, the body is capable of a lot, and then there is really no need for replenishment. However, when moving the body, for an extended period of time, with great focus and intensity, without allowing time for breaks, and detours, this will cause the body to become tired and exhausted. And I have found that this is because how this type of focused, intense movement, that progresses over an extended period of time, is actually based in a energy; most of the time – stress. This has been the case for me.
The interesting thing is that this stress is not experienced as a emotional stress – it is instead a form of physical stress and pressure that is placed on the body. Hence it can be difficult to recognize. For me, I can see that this stress is present when I feel that there is no time for small breaks, and detours from what I am doing, when I have in a way, become possessed with work. The word possessed is interesting, because that is literally what happens, I am stuck in one state of mind, a fast track direction to somewhere, unclear where. A small, yet significant example, is when I am making my breakfast, and I prepare my sandwiches. I have a couple of spreads to choose from, and I prefer to add some vegetables. However, that takes some extra bit of time, and some days, I will resist taking that time, and doing that little extra for myself. And it is not because there is no time, it is because, I feel like there is no time – in other words – stress. The consequence is that I will limit my breakfast and how I prepare my food, because I do not feel like there is time, because I am already on the fast track, one direction mind set of going to work.
The solution to this point is apparent from what I have shared above. Work, and for that matter, all other forms of activity, MUST be done with balance, in a state of mind that allows for detours, for breaks, for side tracks, for a overview on things – and the reason for this is because the body needs it – we ourselves need it. Our lives cannot consist of but one thing, one focus, one experience that we hone into and become stuck in – we are in our very nature expansive – and this life offers so much room for discovery and exploration. Though, when we get stuck in our fast track mind-set – life disappears, becomes but a scenery in the movie of our life, where we are following a already established plot, that offers no room for our creative, and unconditional expression to come through.
Hence, I will commit myself to incorporate balance into my life, and even though I have a lot to do at work, I will still bring in balance – and I will do that through regularly throughout my day, allow myself to digress, to stand back, to take a couple of deep breaths and center myself in my body, and allow myself to physically stand up, go for a stroll, go to talk with someone, read something different, take a cup of coffee, or similar – the main point being that I actively balance out my day in a way that supports myself and my physical body.
I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to balance my life
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to become stuck in what I do – too focused – to intense – and forget that there are other things to life – forget to consider and support my physical body – forget myself
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not give myself time and space to regularly take a break – take a walk – take some breaths – enjoy my physical body and physical reality – to go and discover my life – and not become possessed with what I am doing
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not actively release myself from any state of possession that I go into in relation to work through breathing – relaxing my body – bringing myself back here – giving myself time to be HERE – realizing that I am not rushing to get anywhere important anyway – as all roads leads to Rome – which in this case is death – so – why rush – why run – when I can stop up and smell the flowers instead?
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not actively through my day reconnect with my physical body, talk with my body, interact with my body, listen to what my body has to say, listen to it and see what I can do to support my body
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not actively give myself time to support my human physical body each and every day
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not see, realize and understand that it is a flag-point, when I start to feel as if I do not have the time to support myself, take a break for a moment.
I commit myself to care for and consider my human physical body through integrating the word balance into my life
I commit myself to live balance through taking breaks and regularly allowing myself to digress – do something differently – and move in a pace that is supportive for myself and my body

16 Oct Fact checking campaign contributions
After reading Victoria Gutowski's recent letter to the editor, "Outside money creeping into our local election" published on Oct. 2 in the News Advocate, I did some fact checking by reviewing all contributions of $100 or more as reported to the Secretary of State by the two candidates running for our state House seat.
As of Sept. 28, Jack O'Malley reported receiving $7,250 from 31 addresses inside the 101st Legislative District and $46,200 from 74 addresses outside the district. As of the same date, Kathy Wiejazka reported receiving $36,725 from 123 addresses inside the 101st Legislative District and $14,300 from 32 addresses outside the district.
As a percentage of all contributions of $100 or more, Jack O'Malley received 13.5 percent of his from inside the 101st District and Kathy Wiejaczka received 72.3 percent of hers from inside the district.
Which potential legislator is more likely to look after those of us who reside in Leelanau, Benzie, Manistee and Mason counties?

"Hi, I'm Chucky, and I'm your friend 'till the end! Hi-de-ho, ha-ha-ha!"
--Good Guy catchphrase.
The Good Guy Dolls are an extremely popular doll in the Child's Play universe, aimed at young children. They are created and produced by the Play Pals toy factory.
Child's Play (1988)
The Good Guy toy line is introduced from the popularity of the characters of a cartoon series, local to the greater Chicago area. The original doll is advertised to say three sentences, move its head, and blink its eyes.
Child's Play 2 (1990)
Because of Andy's experience, the Good Guy dolls receive bad publicity and are not being bought anymore. To save what they had left, Play Pals buys Chucky's remains, to rebuild him, and prove that he was just an ordinary doll. However, upon placing his eyes back into their sockets, Chucky is resurrected. He escapes, forcing an employee to drive him to Andy's new foster house Luckily for Chucky, another Good Guy is in the household: Tommy. Tommy is destroyed by Chucky and buried in the yard under the swing set, allowing Chucky to pose as Tommy and stay in the house, watching Andy's every move.
Child's Play 3 (1991)
Eight years later, the Play Pals is still going strong with new products. They believe that the years of bad publicity are far behind them, and begin discussing the revival of the Good Guy dolls, as they were their best selling product. After ignoring protests from his co-workers fearing that this would lead to more negative repercussions, the CEO Mr. Sullivan decides to revive the dolls.
Old Good Guy doll pieces are recycled into new dolls, and the remains of Chucky are in the batch. With his blood melding with the molten plastic, he is once again brought to life in a new doll body. Mr. Sullivan is then presented with the first Good Guy off the assembly line, which happens to be Chucky. When Mr. Sullivan takes the doll back home with him, he unknowingly gives Chucky the opportunity to terrorize humanity again.
After the third film, nothing more is said of the Good Guy dolls, leaving Chucky to be the only doll left. It is speculated that the Good Guy doll line was again cancelled after the discoveries of the events of Child's Play 3.
- The Good Guy cartoon segment was produced by the animation company Ruby-Spears.
- The voice of the costumed host of the Good Guys TV program is Child's Play director Tom Holland.
- An inspiration for the Good Guys dolls was a line of talking dolls produced by Playmates Toys. The Corky doll was introduced in 1987, and Corky's voice actor Edan Gross was used as the Good Guy voice.

11-2-10 to 11-5-10
Phil Lee W6HCC
I traveled east to communicate with Bill, K0RZ at Louisville CO [DM79jx]. I planned to work from the EM29, EM28 grids near I70 west of Topeka KS and then south into Oklahoma for EM15. The GPS log showed a driving distance of 1718 miles for the trip.
I drove my Ford excursion with an improved system for432 Mhz. The 432 antennae are quad yagis stacked in a box of 4 on a 20 foot mast. The system is raised by a winch in the back of the Excursion. The hoisting cable runs over a pulley on an 8 foot A frame which is mounted to an I-beam secured to the trailer hitch. The radio is an IC910 running 75 watts with no external power amplifier. It takes about 40 minutes to set up or take down the system.
The route:
Day 1: I traveled east on I-70 to Salina KS. I spent the night Comfort Inn in Salina. [I had enough points for 2 free nights, that was great!] There is a Braum's ice cream store next to the motel. There cheeseburgers are great. They also make some delightful ice cream dishes. There is a truck stop across the freeway (I-135) where I can get clean diesel fuel for the excursion.
Day 2: The next morning, after a good breakfast at the Inn, I traveled east on I-70 toward Topeka KS. At exit 346 I took Carlson road north toward Rossville KS. I noticed that the engine light on the panel had come on. I was concerned and stopped in the small community of Willard to check. A walk-around showed no obvious problems, and since the engine seemed to be running well, I continued north on Rossville road to CR62.
I had planned to operate from the road junction of Rossville road and CR62; however it was too low and obscured by trees. (There are a lot of trees in the area. It is hard to find an open area with a good view down boresite.) CR62 seemed to go up hill. Even though it went east and made the shot slightly longer, I opted for the high ground. After a series of hills, each slightly higher than the previous, I came to an open field with a good view down boresite. It was solid. It had been disked and then the corn stalks had solidified into the soil. I drove in with no problems. There was a fair amount of traffic on CR62, but no one stopped, they just waved and went on. Cell phone coverage in the area was good. I had no problem with liaison.
I completed the contact in EM29AD and then headed for EM28AV. The route took me back down Rossville road, to Calson road, past I-70 and south to the hamlet of Dover KS….Not much of a place, just a few houses and a C-store. I turned south on Douglas road. The road climbed steeply and came out on a small hill. The site had looked good on the topo map, but the view to the west was obscured by trees. I continues south and then turned west on Harveyville road. The road turned south at a T. There was a gravel road going north and up a small hill. It looked good, but when I got to the top, there was a still taller hill to the west…. No good!! I went back to the paved road and went south. It went up a hill and came out on top with a clear shot to the west. There was only a small turnout to get into the field and the field had been rough-plowed. The black soil was hard, but had been turned with huge dirt clods. I pulled in as far as I could and looked around. The view to the west was good, but there was a low power line nearly on top of the excursion. It was too close to be safe. I put the excursion in 4×4 and backed into the dirt. I got clear of the power line, but there was a second problem – wind!! It was blowing about 30 mph and gusting 40 mph. I was concerned about the strength of the mast and the 4x yagi array. Working on the rough ground and in the wind was a challenge. I managed to set up the system and thankfully the mast held. I was very glad that I had designed a solid clamp at the top of the A frame.
After the contact, it was getting late and I was concerned about the engine light. I considered going into Topeka KS to find a Ford dealer and check out the excursion. Bill looked up the location of the agency and found that it was in the heart of downtown. I decided to return to Salina. At least there I had a place to stay. I returned to Salina and was able to get into the local Ford agency with enough time to make an appointment for the next morning at 0700hrs. I retired for the night at Comfort Inn and had dinner at the local Braum's.
Day 3: After another good breakfast at the Inn, I was at the Ford agency by 0700 CDT. They got right to work and checked the excursion. It was an alarm from the turbo. When I first got the excursion, I had problems with the turbo. They had replaced it once and then given it special lubrication. It had not been a problem since. The mechanic said there was no problem driving the vehicle and he reset the engine light. I hoped it was an isolated instance of the problem.
I decided to head for EM15AX in Oklahoma. I called Bill and told him that the shot was a go! I traveled down I-135 to Wichita KS. There I picked up I-35, the Kansas Turnpike. It is a really nice road. It is smooth and signed at 70 mph. There was a moderate amount of traffic, but it was all moving smoothly. I paid my $1.90 at the end and continued south on I-35. I continued until I came to US64 which goes west to Enid OK. There was a lot of construction on the road and at times I was slowed to 35 mph. Not a good route! At Enid, I turned south on US81. It also had a lot of construction. I continued to the town? of Dover OK. There I wanted to go west on Boundary road. I drove through town twice and could not find the road. I finally took Red Fox road, which seemed to be the only paved road leading west. It turned out to be the right road. I continued west, crossed the Cimarron River and looked for a site. The area I had chosen with the topo maps was obscured by trees. (It seemed that all the fields were bordered by tall trees.) I took CR E0720 west and came to a road which led to a gas well and some tanks. The area around the tanks was firm and clear. The view to the west was only fair, but it was the best that I could do. I talked to Bill on the cell phone and told him I had finally found a site. I pulled in and started to set up. Soon a truck pulled in and the men seemed to be reading some of the recorders near the well site. They came over to me and wanted to know what I was doing. They were friendly and seemed interested to the long shot that I was attempting. They went on their way and I finished the setup. The wind was blowing, but not nearly as hard as the previous day. We made contact on 432 MHz in about 30 minutes.
After the contact I decided to take a different way back to I-35. I went north on US81 to Hennessey OK and turned east on OK51. It was a good road signed at 65. For a while I was followed by a local sheriff. I locked cruise at 64 mph. Finally he came to the end of his jurisdiction and turned around. There were very few small towns on the road and it was a nice drive back to I-35. From there, I retraced my path back to Wichita and on to Salina.
Day 4: The next morning there was cold, 28 degrees at Salina. At 0610 MDT, I headed for home via I-70. As I traveled west, the temperature fell as low as 21 degrees just before sunrise. I made some pit stops at rest areas and a food stop at Limon CO. I arrived home at 1340. The trip took about 7.5 hrs.
The contacts:
EM29AD: I pulled into the field north of CR62. The field was solid and there was plenty of room to set up the 432 array. The setup went smoothly except the phasing of the 4 yagis. At first, I got one on backwards. I turned it around and raised the array.
The signals were typical tropo scatter. There was a lot of QSB. At times, even Bill's big signal faded to nothing. I was able to get some good peaks and copied calls and grid.
I sent to Bill. He was able to detect my signal, but could not hear anything – much less copy code. We worked for a while hoping for a good peak, but still nothing was heard. We decided to try 3 tone FSK. Perhaps that would be better. No such luck! The QSB tore up the FSK to the point that it was unreadable.
I connected the hand key to the IC910. To use it, I had to put the system in 'send' with the keyer, then switch the IC910 to CW mode and send with the hand key. Bill and I were not sure how the radio processed the CW offset. Bill searched for my signal and could not find it. I looked in the manual for the radio to see if I could determine how the CW offset worked. I found everything I did not want to know, but no information that I needed. Bill sent to me and I was able to find his signal. He then moved down 200 Hz and the signal moved the correct amount on my Spectran display. We determined that the radio in CW was operating in the USB mode. Finally Bill found my signal. I sent very long dits and dahs. Bill was able to read some of the code. Then we got a good peak. Bill asked me to send faster. I keyed the data with the hand key and we got the message through. Bill came back with a string of R's and 73. His signal was very good. We had a contact!! The range was 496 miles…. A new DX record for me on 432!
EM28AV: I parked in a farmer's field on the west side of Harveyville road. I had to put the back wheels into the plowed area to get clear of the low overhead power lines. I used 4×4 just to be sure. The wind was very strong from the northwest. I had to guide the array mast into the clamp at the top of the A frame. Once I got it in and locked, I was concerned that the mast might buckle in the strong wind.
Signals on 432 still had a lot of QSB. At first, I heard nothing from Bill. Where was the big signal? I checked that antenna array and found that the wind had turned it 90 degrees to boresite. No wonder!! I moved it back to path and locked it down firmly. There was the signal as expected. We were patient and we got some good peaks to complete the contact. I took the array down as soon as I could. There was no damage from the wind, but I was concerned the whole time of the contact. The range was 497 miles….A new DX record for me on 432 MHz!!
EM15AX: I set up near some oil tanks and a gas well on the north side of CR 0720. The area was firm and there was plenty of room to park the excursion. There was a moderate breeze, but not nearly as strong as yesterday.
Signals still had a lot of QSB. This time, we got some good peaks. I copied the data from Bill and sent to him. At first he was unable to copy the high speed CW. I switched to FSK and he copied my callsign. At that point, he said that he could hear the signal. I switched to high speed CW and we completed the contact. He came back to me with 73 and 'va'. Signals peaked very well and we had an easy exchange at the end of the contact. The range was 480 miles.
These contacts complete 95 grids on 432 MHz.

The Nationwide Children's Hospital Columbus Marathon & ½ Marathon will pass by the event's namesake charitable partner for its 35th running in October.
The Oct. 19 event also will feature a combined start and finish at North Bank Park in the Arena District of Downtown Columbus. Joining these areas is expected to enhance excitement at what already is known as one of the most entertaining long-distance running and walking experiences in North America.
"Running or walking past Nationwide Children's Hospital will be very meaningful for our participants," said Bill Burns, Chairman of the Board of Trustees for The Columbus Marathon. "This will further enhance the connection between the event and the Hospital. This is the final piece to making this partnership complete. The excitement at that spot on the course will be electric."
The new combined start and finish areas also will hike energy levels while helping increase safety for athletes, as well as spectators, volunteers and the general public, said Race Director Darris Blackford.
"Everything will be in one easy- to-navigate location," Blackford said. "Pre- and post-race activities, restrooms, gear check, even spectator seating, informational displays and entertainment offerings will be unified. This event deserves a single home, and we are honored that it will be at North Bank Park."
While the inclusion of Nationwide Children's Hospital and the combined start/finish areas are new, much of the 13.1-mile ½ Marathon and 26.2-mile Marathon courses remain the same – including the Marathon route going through Ohio Stadium for the third straight year – helping to maintain the event's reputation as being fast and fun.
-- more --
Expected to add excitement are route changes through two historic Columbus neighborhoods – Olde Town East and Harrison West. These areas have been part of the course for years, but now the route will travel along 18th Street in Olde Town East, and Third Avenue in Harrison West.
"Our neighborhood association, residents and business owners welcome the new marathon route change. Participants will pass right through the heart of Olde Towne East on their way towards Nationwide Children's Hospital," said Olde Town East Neighborhood Association President Ken Wilcox.
Kristen Easterday, President of the Harrison West Society, expressed similar feelings for that area.
"Harrison West is excited to welcome the Nationwide Children's Hospital Columbus Marathon & 1/2 Marathon into our historic neighborhood," Easterday said. "Harrison West residents look forward to showing off our unique and cozy community to all the race participants and supporters. Athletes can anticipate a spirited cheering section along Third Avenue!"
The Nationwide Children's Hospital Columbus Marathon & ½ Marathon boasts 100 bands and entertainers on course. Additionally, 24 of the mile markers feature a "Patient Champion" from the Hospital. There also is the "Encore Mile" made up of past "Patient Champions," and the "Angel Mile" honoring children who have passed away.
"Each mile marker is a place where our athletes can celebrate these young lives, as well as take a moment and reflect on those who have inspired them to take on the Marathon or ½ Marathon challenge," Blackford said. "On the third Sunday of October, our message of "Triumph" will ring along the streets of Bexley, Upper Arlington, Grandview Heights, The Ohio State University, and of course, Columbus."
About the Nationwide Children's Hospital Columbus Marathon & ½ Marathon
The 35th annual Nationwide Children's Hospital Columbus Marathon & ½ Marathon will take place Sunday, Oct. 19, 2014. The 2013 event featured a sold-out a field of 18,000 athletes. The combined events have sold out for seven straight years and the marathon continues to be the largest marathon in Ohio. For more information, visit www.columbusmarathon.com.

FICPI's activities have been of great benefit to its members and to the independent "free" profession worldwide.
Without broad international representation of your interests by FICPI, there is a real danger that the interests of IP attorneys in private practice and their clients throughout the World – and indeed the IP attorney profession in general – will fall victim to bureaucratic ambitions and the hegemony of large international business.
Many of FICPI's efforts have been directed towards maintaining a strong, independent, local profession in the face of efforts to centralise the filing and prosecution of applications in a small number of national and regional offices. Only an international organisation of the scope and stature of FICPI can represent the interests of the private practitioner before national, regional and international bodies. FICPI's ability to speak for IP attorneys in free practice assists us in achieving our aim to improve the position of individual IP attorneys in all countries.
To date, FICPI has:
- Fought to preserve the right in the Patent Law Treaty (PLT) to have local representation before a patent office. Without FICPI's efforts, the PLT may have drastically reduced the need for and role of local representatives, which would have been catastrophic to the profession in many countries.
- Supported the retention of local patent offices in the EU Green Paper on patenting in Europe and pushed for decentralisation of the European patent system.
- Lobbied strongly for the retention of translation requirements in Europe, for the benefit of local industry as well as the local professions, their clients and third parties.
- Removed potential liability from private practitioners through frequent interventions in the negotiations leading up to the Singapore Treaty on the Law of Trade Marks (2006) to provide for the restoration of priority rights.
- Engaged in and turned the debate about patent costs away from criticism of European practitioners.
- Been at the forefront of the drive to encourage the adoption of confidentiality for clients' correspondence with their IP attorneys where it does not exist, and cross-border recognition of that right. The right of privilege is of utmost importance for the IP profession.
- Worked against the Norwegian Proposal, tabled at the WIPO Madrid Working Group, to remove the requirement for a basic home application, which is fundamental to the Madrid system. FICPI will continue to intervene to ensure that the rights of trade mark owners and the welfare of the profession are not overlooked.
- Organised 6-month patent drafting courses (called SEAD and EuroSEAD) to provide training to young professionals in south east Asia and in Europe. A new course is under development in India.
- Advocated for the right of patent attorneys to represent clients during the drafting of Article 28 of the European Litigation Agreement. FICPI continues to fight for the right of national patent attorneys in Europe to represent clients before Community courts in IP matters.
- Organised meetings for its members and others on topical issues, including a World Congress for all FICPI members every three years, Fora open to all in the intervening years, colloquia with sister organisations to bring the views of FICPI members to the attention of IP office officials and symposia focused on developments in IP issues in Asian countries, including China, Japan, India and Korea.

A couple of weeks ago I returned from a one week whistle stop island exploration of arguably one of the most majestic places in the Mediterranean. Famed for its glorious weather, fresh produce and friendly feel, not to forget its stunning beaches, it was only right to try out as many beaches as I could whilst privileged enough to be in such a holiday hot spot. The ideal thing about being on an island that is only 200 miles in diameter is it is more than possible to have a fully immersive island experience. In the space of the week, I visited three different beaches, all equally unique and rather spectacular. Some are more famed than others, but hidden gems tend not to shout their splendour, yet allow you to discover them.
Our Cyprus holiday began in the much famed town of Ayia Napa, known for its bubbly nightlife scene which is metaphorical catnip to youngsters hopeful of a summer to remember. I agree that Ayia Napa is an ideal party place but there is far more to it than just this. There are museums, a stone sculpture park and sights of interest all around for the culturally inclined to indulge in, but I digress. I'll be posting my photographs of this side of the strip in another feature, but for now, get ready to vicariously travel the length of Cyprus exploring all their beaches have to offer.
Deniz Kizi - Kyrenia, North Cyprus
Nissi Beach - Ayia Napa
We spent the first few days of the holiday in Ayia Napa before making a trip to Nicosia which is on the Turkish side of the island, to visit relatives and enjoy a couple of lively kebab fuelled evenings! Deniz Kizi beach is stunning and secluded in comparision to so may others which are highlighted as tourist attractions in the Med. Located in Northern Cyprus, we visited this beach last year when in Cyprus and just had to pay it another visit this time around. It is right beside a 5 star hotel which should give some insight into how breath-taking it really is.
They have hammocks there too which is obviously a great idea. They are very relaxing whilst in them, somewhat challenging to get out of. A good idea to have someone with you to pull you out!
Palm gazing from the hammock
Nissi Beach - Ayia Napa
The ultimate beach. Seriously. From our hotel apartment in Ayia Napa, Nissi Beach was a short and scenic ten minute taxi ride away. If you're happy to hitch a lift with your fellow tourists, then the cab price is really low. When I first laid eyes upon this beach, the first thing that struck me was just how aqua blue the sea was and how it genuinely did sparkle in the sun's rays. It is one of the fourteen beaches in Ayia Napa to have been awarded a blue flag of beach quality. A true, blue, Mediterranean haven. This is definitely the beach that everybody who is vay-caying in Ayia Napa has heard of and flocks to, as it offers everything you'd want, from beach clubs, bars, water sports and music. It has this really unique tidal feature too where the water separates and actually makes a path right through the middle of the sea which you can walk through without the water going past your waist. This path takes you over to a small island which has a stunning view across the whole beach. A few wild ones where cliff jumping from there, something I merely watched as the drop was at least 15 meters!
You can check out more of my holiday photos on my Instagram
Another beach within Ayia Napa, this was only a twenty five minute walk away from our hotel. Again it was well equipped with beach bars, water sports, music and general summer good vibes. The waters are crystal clear and warm in the shallows which is exactly how I like the sea!
Pantachou beach by night
I will be planning my next adventure in the coming weeks, so if you've been to any far away shores that herald beautiful beaches let me know! Bilgi x

A Primer on Priming
A couple of things differentiate priming effects from other memory phenomena. First, subjects are often unaware of the fact that they were primed. Second, a single presentation of an item is enough to facilitate processing of it and related items for an extremely long amount of time. Third, priming is related to decreased activation of relevant brain regions, as opposed to the increased activation typically seen in recall or recognition tasks. Finally, and most mysteriously, priming appears to be intact in amnesiacs - including patients with hippocampal and even more generalized medial temporal lobe damage.
What mechanism causes priming to occur? One old view is that abstract, long-term memory representations are activated after the presentation of an item. However, some research has shown that the magnitude of the priming effect is affected by changing specific features of the item, such as its font. To what degree is priming related by the semantic properties of an item as opposed to its specific perceptual components?
This question is the topic of a November 2004 Nature Reviews Neuroscience article by Schacter, Dobbins and Schnyer. According to their analysis, when the presented items are in the same modality as the response (aka 'within-modality priming'), occipitotemporal activity is significantly reduced. This reduction in activity suggests that within-modality priming may be a specifically perceptual effect.
In contrast, cross-modal priming results in increased anterior prefrontal cortex (BA10) activity. This area is involved in explicit retrieval tasks, indicating that there may be an explicit component to cross-modal priming effects, and providing some insight on the rather mixed evidence as to whether cross-modal priming is intact in amnesiacs.
One possible explanation of these conflicting results is that there may be two routes to cross-modal priming: the use of phonological areas (left remporoparietal) and/or use of explicit retrieval (anterior prefrontal) can both support priming effects.

How to Cut Back on Dusting in Your Apartment
Dust is the silent culprit, making breathing harder by irritating delicate allergies. This lurking villain sits out in the open, cloaking your apartment in particles until you have no choice but to whisk them away.
However, even if dusting is a regular installment on your chores list, the mites will once again settle, and you will be drawn back to your labors. Really, you should focus on eradicating dustmites so you don't have to clean as often. Here are some tips for reducing allergens and cleaning necessities so you breathe easier:
Cover Your Pillows
If dust does bother your respiratory system, you should start your banishment endeavors by protecting the area in which you sleep. You spend about eight hours a day laying on your pillow, and if the fibers are clinging to dust, you could inadvertently be making your allergies worse – those sneaky particles!
Clear your sleep space of pesky dustmites by purchasing allergy-friendly pillow cases. These covers slip over your pillow under the decorative case and prevent dust from settling. You can also buy a slipcover for your mattress to create a barrier for your bed.
Make sure to clean these cases about twice a year using hot water. Of course, if you spill coffee on your bed or something, you'll want to clean them more often.
Shield Your Closet
Fibrous material can create dust (just think of the little fuzzies that fall off your sweaters), and your bedroom closet is likely full of them. From extra towels to clothes and hats, closets are a gold mine of dust-generating materials, which is why these spaces tend to get messy quickly.
Ideally, you want to quarantine your belongings to prevent their fibers from flying all over the closet. You can do this by employing the use of bags and boxes.
Garment Bags: These long cases often made with a plastic material house dresses and coats. They make the perfect vessels for any upscale clothing you have that you want to protect.
I have a few vintage dresses, and I place them in garment bags and hang them in my closet. This way, I know the dresses will maintain their form and they won't drop fibers all over.
Clear Plastic Bags: The cases you buy your bedding in are ideal for sealing away potentially dust-generating items. Put out-of-season clothing in these bags and stick them on your closet shelf. The rectangular shape of these containers makes them ideal for storage.
Hat Boxes: I love hats. I have three newer ones I like to wear and a couple vintage pieces. I don't break them out all the time, so in the interim, they sit nicely in hat boxes. These round cases keep the hats in good shape (can't have anything crushing them and messing up their form) and disallow fibers from creating or trapping dust.
Even if you don't collect hats like I do, you can use hat boxes to store winter gear, like gloves and scarves.
Wash Your Bedding
Remember how I said your bed can trap dust? Even with allergy slipcovers, your sheets can produce or hold dust like a magnet.
Make sure you clean bedding every week to reduce the amount of particles floating around your apartment. That includes pillow cases, duvet covers and throw blankets you may use.
If you don't feel like dropping quarters on sheets every week just to be rid of dustmites, you can shake out your bedding and whack your pillows. You might even see the particles evanesce from the fabric!
Invest in an Air Purifier
Air purifier appliances come in a variety of models and price ranges, so choose one that fits in your budget. You may want to splurge for a high-end option if you have bad allergies or just really hate dusting – it's seriously my least favorite chore.
Air purifiers suck up dust before it settles in your apartment (and hopefully before you breathe it). Select a fan-powered model, as other types of appliances release ozone. Plus, air purifiers are worth spending some extra cash on.
Cut Down on Clutter
Knick-knacks attract dust like Ryan Gosling attracts women, only they aren't nearly as handsome.Sacrifice a few items from your apartment to reduce the amount of dust. Take some time to declutter your apartment, keeping only the things you really want – some decorations and sentimental objects are essential for happiness.
Apprehend Dust
Your dusting technique may allow particles to escape and cause problems in the future. You need to nip the problem in the bud by using cleaning supplies that truly trap unruly dust.
Wet dusting, for instance, helps the particles stick to your cleaning cloth. Tools that rely on electrostatic charge (like Swiffer products) also do the trick. You can also use your vacuum to reach high places, but if you can avoid it, do so. Vacuums tend to blow dust around, creating a veritable storm of allergens.

CryptDeriveKey (Windows CE 5.0)
This function generates cryptographic session keys derived from base data. This function guarantees that all keys generated from the same base data are identical, provided the same cryptographic service provider (CSP) and algorithms are used. The base data can be a password or any other user data.
This function is the same as the CryptGenKey function, except that the generated session keys are derived from base data instead of being random. The CryptDeriveKey function can only generate session keys and cannot be used to generate public/private key pairs.
A handle to the session key is returned in the phKey parameter. This handle can then be used with any CryptoAPI functions that require key handles.
BOOL CRYPTFUNC CryptDeriveKey(HCRYPTPROVhProv,ALG_IDAlgid,HCRYPTHASHhBaseData,DWORDdwFlags,HCRYPTKEY* phKey);
[in] HCRYPTPROV handle to a CSP created by a call to the CryptAcquireContext function.
[in] ALG_ID identifier of the algorithm for the generated key. The valid value for this parameter varies depending on the CSP. Common hash algorithm identifiers are: CALG_AES_128, CALG_AES_192, CALG_AES_256, CALG_RSA_SIGN, CALG_RSA_KEYX, CALG_RC2, CALG_RC4, CALG_RC5, CALG_DES, CALG_3DES_112, and CALG_3DES. See ALG_ID for definitions.
[in] HCRYPTHASH handle to a hash object that contains the exact base data.
To obtain this handle, an application must first create a hash object with the CryptCreateHash function and then add the base data to the hash object with the CryptHashData function. For more information about hashing and digital signatures, see the programmer's guide topics under Cryptography.
[in] Specifies the type of key generated. This parameter can be zero. The following table shows flags that you can specify. You can use the bitwise OR operator to combine flags.
Value Description CRYPT_EXPORTABLE If this flag is set, the session key can be transferred out of the CSP into a key BLOB through the CryptExportKey function. Because keys generally must be exportable, this flag should usually be set.
If this flag is not set, the session key will not be exportable. This means the key will be available only within the current session and only to the application that created it.
This flag does not apply to public/private key pairs.
CRYPT_CREATE_SALT Typically, when a session key is made from a hash value, there are a number of leftover bits. For example, if the hash value is 128 bits and the session key is 40 bits, there will be 88 bits left over.
If this flag is set, the key is assigned a salt value based on the unused hash value bits. You can retrieve this salt value by using the CryptGetKeyParam function with the dwParam parameter set to KP_SALT.
If CRYPT_CREATE_SALT is not set, the key will be given a salt value of zero.
When keys with nonzero salt values are exported using CryptExportKey, the salt value must also be obtained and kept with the key BLOB.
CRYPT_NO_SALT Specifies that no salt value gets allocated for a 40-bit symmetric key. CRYPT_USER_PROTECTED If this flag is set, the user is notified through a dialog box or another method when certain actions are attempted by using this key. The precise behavior is specified by the CSP being used. CRYPT_UPDATE_KEY Some CSPs use session keys derived from multiple hash values, in which case CryptDeriveKey must be called multiple times.
If this flag is set, a new session key is not generated. Instead, the key specified by phKey is modified. The precise behavior of this flag is dependent on the type of key being generated and on the particular CSP being used.
The Microsoft Cryptographic Providers ignore this flag.
[out] Pointer to the HCRYPTKEY handle to the newly generated key.
Return Values
TRUE indicates success. FALSE indicates failure. To get extended error information, call the GetLastError function.
The following table shows the common values for the GetLastError function. The error values prefaced by NTE are generated by the particular CSP you are using.
|One of the parameters specifies an invalid handle.
|One of the parameters contains an invalid value. This is most often an illegal pointer.
|The Algid parameter specifies an algorithm that this CSP does not support.
|The dwFlags parameter contains an invalid value.
|The hBaseData parameter does not contain a valid handle to a hash object.
|An attempt was made to add data to a hash object that is already marked as finished.
|The hProv parameter does not contain a valid context handle.
|The function failed in some unexpected way.
To generate a key for a symmetric encryption algorithm, use the Algid parameter to specify the algorithm. The algorithms available will most likely be different for each CSP.
When keys are generated for symmetric block ciphers, the key by default will be set up in cipher block chaining (CBC) mode with an initialization vector of zero. This cipher mode provides a good default method for bulk-encrypting data. To change these parameters, use the CryptSetKeyParam function.
After the CryptDeriveKey function has been called, no more data can be added to the hash object. The CryptDestroyHash function should be called at this point to destroy the hash object.
Example Code
#include <wincrypt.h>
HCRYPTPROV hProv = 0;
HCRYPTKEY hKey = 0;
HCRYPTHASH hHash = 0;
CHAR szPassword[ ] = "apple-camshaft";
DWORD dwLength;
// Get a handle to user default provider using CryptAcquireContext.
// For sample code, see CryptAcquireContext.
// Create a hash object.
if(!CryptCreateHash(hProv, CALG_MD5, 0, 0, &hHash)) {
printf("Error %x during CryptCreateHash!\n", GetLastError());
goto done;
// Hash the password string.
dwLength = strlen(szPassword);
if(!CryptHashData(hHash, (BYTE *)szPassword, dwLength, 0)) {
printf("Error %x during CryptHashData!\n", GetLastError());
goto done;
// Create a block cipher session key based on the hash of the password.
if(!CryptDeriveKey(hProv, CALG_RC2, hHash, CRYPT_EXPORTABLE, &hKey)) {
printf("Error %x during CryptDeriveKey!\n", GetLastError());
goto done;
// Use 'hKey' to encrypt or decrypt a message.
// Destroy the hash object.
if(hHash != 0) CryptDestroyHash(hHash);
// Destroy the session key.
if(hKey != 0) CryptDestroyKey(hKey);
// Free the provider handle.
if(hProv != 0) CryptReleaseContext(hProv, 0);

Digital Transformation: Data Modeling for APIs
Christina Burnett, T-Mobile
Digital transformation drives change into both the architecture and the organization of the enterprise. The move toward domain-based development of micro-services in an enterprise environment has been seen by some as the death knell for data modeling. I argue that, in this brave new world, the need for data modeling is even greater. APIs are exposed to more people with less context to interpret the API. Use of micro-service architecture increases the number of transformation boundaries. Having a common understanding of the meaning of data increases speed to market, reduces the number of defects due to invalid transformation, and improves the percentage of API reuse within the enterprise.
Christina Burnett has over thirty years of experience in consulting, data modeling, software integration, analysis, and programming. She has worked on data modeling in the middleware space at T-Mobile since 2010, riding the wave of change from SOAP services to RESTful APIs. Christina has a B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Houston, and an M.S. in Computer Science and Software Engineering from the University of Washington Bothell.

Bloodthirsty monsters
Vampires are huge in Hollywood these days, thanks largely to media franchises like "Twilight," "True Blood" and "Vampire Diaries." But there's a reason why such bigshot bloodsuckers are rare in real life, even on Halloween: Vampirism is hard work.
The main ingredient in blood is water, which means it usually can't provide enough energy for big-bodied hunters. And since most animals keep their blood closely guarded, real-world vampires must rely on stealth and persistence for even the tiniest sip. But while they don't get much love from Team Edward or Team Jacob, life in the shadows is still big business for the following 13 vampires of the animal kingdom. (Text: Russell McLendon)

Spot-size converters for an all-optical switch utilizing the intersubband transition in GaN/AlN multiple quantum wells are studied with the purpose of reducing operation power by improving the coupling efficiency between the input fiber and the switch. With a stair-like spot-size converter, the absorption saturation of 5 dB is achieved with a pulse energy of 25 pJ. The switch is integrated with a SiN/AlN waveguide and spot-size converters, and the structure provides the possibility of an integration of the switch with other functional devices. To further improve the coupling loss between the waveguide and the switch, triangular-shaped converters are investigated, demonstrating losses as low as 2 dB/facet.

Yesterday, my kids asked me if they could get a donut at Dunkin Donuts. I hesitated. The first thing I think of when I think of donut is fat kid eating cheap food. But I said OK as they never eat those things, and they wanted to use their own money. "How much is a donut?" they asked. I hadn't been to DD in years, so I said, "I don't know, maybe forty-five cents. Seventy-five at the most." I remember paying a quarter for a donut. A dozen was three dollars, plus tax.
I used to eat donuts almost every day. Seriously. Almost EVERY DAY. Sometimes two or three. And not those little donuts that come 40 in a box. I loved the big, round, Homer Simpson donuts with lots of frosting on top. I preferred Shop Rite donuts. I would buy one for Dani, one for Julien and two for myself as I could never choose between vanilla frosted or chocolate glazed. Mostly, I'd cut them both in half and eat half of one and half of the other. But other times, I just ate them both and had my regrets. How I managed to process that amount of sugar I'll never know.
I pull through the drive thru at Dunkin and order two strawberry frosted with sprinkles. I have change in my hand. The Indian woman behind the speaker says, "One dollar, ninety-one cents." I'm shocked. Almost two dollars? I pull around and ask how much one donut cost. "One dollar and six cents," she says. "You are getting a discount since you bought two." Wow. I just saved myself twenty-one cents.
This is one of those moments where you remember when cigarettes only cost two dollars a pack. When a phone call was ten cents. When a stamp was even less. Heck, I remember buying two hotdogs for a buck down on the Wildwood boardwalk. A donut is now a dollar. A fried piece of dough with a hole in it, no bigger than your hand is now a dollar.
When I tossed the bag back to the boys and effectively yelled at them not to get sprinkles on the carpet, they ooh'ed and ahh'ed at the treat. They smacked their lips together and devoured the pink, sprinkly cloud within seconds, thus leading me to believe it was mostly air and very little dough. They thought a dollar was reasonable. I just drove off in disgust; in search of a tall, Starbuck's coffee that now costs me four dollars and some change.

I hope everyone enjoys their Fourth of July and is safe! 4th of July, I can't even believe I am saying that, the time goes by so quickly.
The time was right for me to change the fabric in my office frame. The black toile fabric was in the frame (it originally had a mirror in it) for many years and had faded, so I wanted change it out and add a pop of color this time around. You don't realize how much the sun fades things.
I keep spare remnants and samples around just for quick projects like this. It only took me about 5 minutes and was basically free to get this different look.
I went with this fabric to compliment the black frame with a pop of deep red on a goldish background. I really like the way it looks and the charm it adds to the wall. It also works very well with the paint color and the lamp shades on my sconces.

Workshop activity 2 : Sketching the design
Cloud created by:
Rebecca Galley
10 July 2012
This activity is 1hr 15 minutes long and will focus on the use of two approaches to creatively 'sketch' the design of the pedagogical and tool/technological structures of the MOOC. The first 30 minutes will be led by me (Rebecca Galley) and will use the OULDI 'Course Features' and 'Course Map' resources to promote design thinking around four dimensions of the curriculum: Guidance & Support; Content and Experience; Communication & Collaboration; and Reflection & Demonstration. The last 45 minutes will be led by Brock Craft and will use a Collaborative Sketching approach to support creative and collaborative thinking about MOOC technologies and pedagogies.
Extra content
Live blog from the workshop: I've just run the Course Map activity (see my slides below for the activity and resources). The activity seemed to go really well and revealed a strong coherence (which was unexpected given this morning's discussion - see Activity 1) and some unexpected features came through - i.e. the use of portfolios (and I wonder if this help us with a decision about using Badging i.e Mozilla Open Badges??)
The design problem around the flexible vs structure/scaffold is clearly still not resolved...
Some useful feedback from Diana about the cards that support the 'Communication and Collaboration' dimension - that the cards don't allow for as clear articulation about 'what and how' students will collaborate and communicate - just 'that they will'. We need to add some tools and approaches (i.e. student created networks/ tutor directed networks, voice/ text/ images and video, PLNs/ CoPs/ CoIs email groups, moderated/ unmoderated, 1-1/1-many etc) see Course Map discussion video below.

Find out the methods we can use to recover a debt if you have not paid your Council Tax.
The current processing time for new applications and changes to council tax is an average of 8 weeks. If you contact us with a general enquiry online we will reply to you within two working days.
If you are working we will ask your employer to take a percentage of your earnings and pay it directly to us. The amount we can take from your pay can vary between 3 percent and 50 percent depending on how much you earn.
Your employer must put the attachment of earnings in place and may be prosecuted if they don't. They can add £1.00 for each deduction made to cover their costs.
The council can serve a maximum of 2 attachments at any time.
If you are on Income Support, Job Seekers Allowance or Pension Credit we can ask the Department for Work and Pensions to take an amount from your benefit and pay it directly to us.
We can't take any money from retirement or disability pensions.
If your debt is passed to the bailiff you will need to contact them directly to discuss payment on this debt. More information on their procedures and charges is on our bailiff (enforcement agent) page.
If bailiff action has failed and you owe more than £750.00 we can initiate bankruptcy proceedings against you. If we have to take this action then you may have to pay significant costs and if made bankrupt your property may be sold.
If you own property and you owe more than £1000.00 we may consider placing a charge on your property. This will involve additional costs and could mean you will have to sell the property to settle your debt.
If we are unable to recover the debt by any of the other recovery options we will ask the Magistrate to issue a summons to attend a committal hearing. If the court determines that you have the ability to pay, or have refused to pay, then it could impose a prison sentence for up to 3 months.

Charles Philips is CEO of one of the largest enterprise software application companies in the World, Infor. A company that has steadily rose to the top of its industry and now competes with the largest in the game, SAP and Oracle. The recent rise in Infors reputation is down to the acquisition in 2010 of the then Director of rival Oracle, Charles Phillips. A man who is considered by the industry to be the best in his field, who's aggressive and forward-thinking approach, coupled with a tech savvy brain and negotiation skills have helped Infor to reach new heights. Here we take a quick look at the career of Charles Phillips and how he has become one of the most important men in world of technology.
Early Life
Born in Little Rock, Arkansas, Charles, from a young age would spend his time learning about, building and re-building computers and other technological devices after having his interest peaked. After finishing school Charles joined the U.S. Air Force to follow in the footsteps of his father. Charles studied and earned a BS in computer science during his time in the Air Force but unfortunately had to leave after his eye-sight was deemed to be below the standard required. After leaving the Air Force Phillips joined the US Marines were he rose to the rank of Captain working on computer systems. Charles left the Marines in 1986 to begin his professional career.
After working with 3 small software companies, two of which he became Senior Vice-President, Charles joined up with financial services company Morgan Stanley in 1994 as enterprise-software industry analyst. It would be with Morgan Stanley that Charles launched his assault on the tech world, making valuable contacts within Wall Street's elite and displaying an approach to the industry that would lead him to become ranked number 1 in his field for 9 straight years by Institutional Investor. Eventually reaching the role of managing director, Phillips left Morgan Stanley in 2003 to become Co-President of software technology company Oracle where he would later be promoted to Director.
During Charles Phillips previous role at Oracle, Phillips led the sales and acquisitions team which is where his industry knowledge, his contacts and his tough negotiation style would see Oracle make over 70 acquisitions during his tenure as well as seeing the company grow by over 300%. The tech world was beginning to take note of the man that they deemed 'Oracle's secret weapon.'
In 2010 , Phillips left Oracle to work for enterprise applications company Infor where he would take up the role of CEO. Infor soon began to challenge the industry heavyweights such as SAP and Phillips' previous company Oracle. The Charles Phillips effect was starting to show and within just a few months he was negotiating multi-billion dollar acquisitions. The company switched its stance to stay competitive and began acquiring smaller and more niche companies, a master stroke by Phillips that would help Infor's continuous rise. In 2014 Charles Phillips gave a keynote speech at Amazon to launch the company's new Cloudsuite, a creative approach for business users of Infor's software and yet more proof of why Charles Phillips has the reputation in the industry that he has earned over the years.

I wanted to take the time to outline more of what I am trying to accomplish by writing a book. The hope is that it will be a benefit to women who have just completed surgery and or chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer. In a way, treatment relieves us of decision and responsibility for our disease because there is a protocol that we are following. After treatment, the threat of disease is still so eminent and there are still so many decisions to make, each one vital for our survival. The purpose of documenting my story and the experiences of those willing to share on this site is to provide a camaraderie, or community of survivalship. This has been the best resource for me, even more so than what I got from doctors during that confusing time.
Blah, blah blah, we have all heard it right? That is why we have to share our experiences. The book will be real life; witty and charming with lots of laughs – just like our lives. It will be about living and not just surviving. The book will chronicle a journey of hope, healing and fun in the face of fear. It will be a tribute to the courage of living a vibrant life in the shadow of uncertainty. This is how we have triumphed over a disease that is after our body, soul and peace of mind.
I intend to include comments in each chapter from you and women like you that have found resolve and solutions to obstructions in our path. I will review the comments over the past year and include many of them. I will be able to contact you by e-mail to confirm that your comment will be used. We may even use the HealthTalk home page to solicit input as needed along the way. Proceeds from the book will be given to worthy breast cancer organizations, and you will be advised of this and even help choose.
First we need a title. The working one so far is, A Laugh and a Half and a New Set of Boobs. I also like, The Swan diaries but it isn't quite as catchy. What do you think?

Many years ago at USC, Dr. Bob Knight, a famous psychologist in the field of Gerontology, taught all of us young soon-to-be gerontologists the difference between the three D's and influenced us all to advocate for knowing the difference, as well as informing physicians of the difference. Our doctors today are much busier than ever and carry many additional burdens. While assessing an older adult they may miss symptoms or issues… that is why all advocates, caregivers, DPOA's need to advocate for their loved ones and know the difference between the three D's:
While meeting with your physician or even exploring new abnormal behaviors your loved one is experiencing ask:
Is this dementia?
Is this delirium (from infection, pain or even constipation)
Or is this Depression? (depression can impair memory)
Being an advocate not only takes love and compassion, it takes a little more investigative work! Thank You, Dr. Knight, for educating us!

text: Home : Worship : Minister's Blog Some Lessons Learned Some Lessons Learned I have been amazed at how travel can warp one's sense of time. Because this is the first time I have ever been away from home or church for longer than a month, the last two months have both crawled and flown by. I say "crawled" because it seems like San Diego and September 4th feel so much longer ago than 8 weeks and yet I say "flown" because the time also feels like it has flown by and already, two out of three months (the first part of my five month sabbatical) are over. In this time-warp experience I have learned some things, including: - I LOVE to learn; travel isn't very meaningful to me if I'm not learning something – either through reading, a guided tour, or on our own explorations. Learning something new about a place, a people, or how something was created gives me energy…at the end of a long day, I can walk a little farther, visit one more place if I think I'm going to learn something. Though I've always considered myself a student – this trip has helped me experience this aspect of who I am in a deeper way. - One of the ways I have experienced love of learning has been through the visits of the Jewish Synagogues, museums, neighborhoods and Ghettos that exist throughout our travels. In every city we have visited, we have toured and visited the Jewish area. I have always been interested in the Jewish faith, culture and people in ancient times as well as present day. How the Jewish faith has evolved and what hasn't changed about it is important learning, I think. And because of the centuries of oppression, the ghettos, the horror of World War II that people who are Jews have endured, I have pondered again and again the fact of evil in our society and our response to it as a people of faith…a faith that says every person has worth and dignity. And I wonder if one can ever lose or give up their worth? - In the past two months we have covered thousands of miles and I have been made almost speechless by the acts of compassion and kindness by strangers and have witnessed how awful and mean we can be to one another. Time and again I have thought of Karen Armstrong's book 12 Steps to a Compassionate Life and the urgent need we have in our human community for more kindness towards one another. When lost, in a country whose language is foreign to us, we have asked for helped and been rebuffed or told, "you want information – it'll cost you a Euro" as well as standing in a train station at night, unable to read the one posted map and have other travelers help us get aboard the correct train, as well as many other acts of kindness that made our day. Jan and I have both made a promise to be more aware of travelers in San Diego and if they look lost, to offer help. This small act really can make a difference in someone's experience of our city and who we are in general. - And I have learned that I can reach a saturation point – where my eyes glaze over and I simply can't take in one more bit of information. Usually, after a good night's sleep, I am ready for more learning; but after two months on the road, my saturation point is too full; so Jan and I are returning to San Diego a little earlier than expected so that there can be some time for quiet, for writing and reflection in a familiar place. A gentle reminder – my sabbatical is divided into two parts; from September – November I am away. I return to church on Saturday, Dec. 1st and will be working and re-connecting with you throughout the month of December. The second part will begin in January when I leave again – traveling for most of the month visiting with other UU colleagues in large congregations to study and talk with them about program development, church organization and leadership, and other topics. In February I will spend the month putting it altogether – the travels aboard, the collegial conversations, the reading and writing and I will be creating class outlines, sermon topics, etc. I will return to First Church on March 1st ready to engage in a full and wonderful spring and summer. See you in December, Kathleen Attachment Posted on Fri, November 2, 2012 by Kathleen 5 comments (Add your own) 1. Tomas Firle wrote: I love the way you share both the big picture and then pick an event or incident. Your experience at the train station triggered for me similar events: the feeling of being "lost", the (usually) exaggerated fear of becoming a victim, the relief when a "stranger" helps, my inability to express "thanks" well. My subsequent reaction that I had somehow goofed to get into the predicament. Then the recognition that I had not trusted that "strangers" might give me the gift of love. Finally the "resolution" that I will act when "others" are in need. But… how soon do I forget. I appreciate your reminder Kathleen. Sat, November 3, 2012 @ 9:12 AM 2.
