a day in the life
7:55AM my alarm goes off. i swipe the screen, roll over, and go back to sleep. that's what second alarms are for. take that, first alarm!
8:25AM the music is playing and it's REALLY time to get up. i reach for my phone and open Instagram. i spend a few minutes scrolling through photographic snippets of other people's lives while i slowly wake up.
9:00AM i empty suitcases and start sorting laundry. yikes, we have a LOT of dirty clothes. it's been two weeks since i last washed clothes (kudos to travels and being sick). since i've only got a dryer right now (see our lightning-hits-apartment-roof story HERE), i'm loading up the clothes and driving them to our complex's laundry room. ugh. i never appreciated how nice it is to have a washer AND a dryer.
9:30AM wednesdays usually go like this: get out of bed --> sort laundry --> deposit laundry in wash machine --> work out at gym. but a friend calls while i'm tossing darks into one basket and whites into another and i decide to push my workout to later in the day. we chat for thirty minutes.
10:00AM the laundry is finally churning in two washing machines and i'm feeling very much like a spinning top. i tend to clean in a slightly manic, rushed sort of way. i feel like there's a method to my madness, but maybe it's all in my head. one minute i'm emptying the fridge of anything expired, stinky, or moldy, the next i've decided to corral the massive amount of recyclables we've accumulated and lug them out. since we're moving back to our old apartment this weekend, i'm not actually cleaning the current apartment. why bother? we move out in t-minus three days (and a cleaning crew will arrive to prep the place for new residents).
12:00PM i've lugged home two baskets overflowing with sweet, wet clothes. the first load is spinning merrily in the dryer, so i walk over to the old apartment to start deep cleaning the bathrooms. after four months away, they're dusty, dirty, and yes, there are a few surprise visitors lurking in the corners. to my horror, i find a large, many-legged creature skittering in the bathtub. he promptly gets flushed down the drain. two chores to go + it's workout time.
1:00PM the floors are mopped; tubs, toilets, and sinks scrubbed; and i've (hopefully) gotten rid of all the insects (*shudder*). i decide to re-organize the bookcase next. yeahhh, i have a strange propensity to tackle the least important chores first (another way of saying this is that i get distracted easily). i remember all those times as a kid when i'd be dusting a bookcase or putting away toys, only to discover a favorite book or forgotten toy. i'd plop down and take five--or ten. and my mom would always call me out. i guess this is me rebelling.
i pull off books, dust shelves, and decide some of the excess clutter needs to go. no more clutter. when i'm done, the shelves look a.m.a.z.i.n.g. no, seriously, they do! if i can crank out this last (and more important chore) in a timely fashion, i've still got time for my workout.
1:45PM i finally get to the chore that was supposed to be on the top of my to-do list: staining the mission-style chair hubby and i rescued from the side of the road this past summer. an empty apartment is the perfect place for this project, since the fumes won't upset anyone except the stray insects i missed. i've got three days to stain the chair and apply a few coats of varnish.
2:45PM staining always takes so much longer than i anticipate (again, the problems with tackling the minor chores first). i'm teaching my first student at 4. asta lavista, workout. i race home, run the vacuum (just because i didn't clean doesn't mean i can't vacuum), and fold the first load of clothes. i jump in & out of the shower, fix the easiest lunch in the world (cheese on toast w/a side of pickles), and i'm off to the studio.
4-7:30PM one of my students is out sick, so i've got seven lessons to teach today. the evening is spent adjusting fingers, running pieces, and tapping my foot as i help a few violin students get the beat.
7:45PM just for the record, you will usually NOT find me at the grocery store this late. not only am i sleepy, but i haven't had dinner yet so everything looks delicious (always a problem when shopping on an empty stomach). hubby meets me there (we like to grocery shop together--we're corny!) and i throw in enough items to get us to the end of the week.
8:30PM home sweet apartment! the kitties are overjoyed to see us. it's a eat-in-front-of-the-TV kinda night. we watch the latest episode of New Girl and hang out together.
11:30PM we fall asleep on the couch to an episode of The Mindy Project. ouch. lights out. g'nite!
+inspiration for this post came from where my heart resides.

Senior Defense
Every senior at Life Academy is responsible for completing an in-depth study of a topic of their choosing and then presenting their findings before a panel of teachers, peers, and community members.
Discussion Questions
How does the Senior Defense compare to the teaching and learning in your local high school?
How would project-based lessons, like the Senior Defense, engage and prepare students in your school or district?
The Senior Defense provides an opportunity for students like Carmen Rivera to explore critical issues in their community, such as gun violence or lack of available health care. How might your school create opportunities for students to connect learning to community issues and concerns?
Biology Class
The biology and English teachers at Life Academy worked together to design a joint lesson on genetic testing, creating a character and storyline that connects the course work in both classes. "It just adds a whole different energy to the classroom if you can come up with really engaging and interactive curriculum," says biology teacher Claire Crossett.
Discussion Questions
What do you notice about the students in Claire Crossett's class?
How does their engagement compare to the engagement of students you know?
Students in Claire Crossett's class work in teams to conduct and analyze the genetic testing. What are the benefits of team-based lessons? What are the challenges?
Life Academy's biology lab makes hands-on learning possible for its students, but not all schools have access to these state-of-the-art tools. Do all students and teachers in your district have access to the science labs and supporting materials?

Dead Mans Pass Ranch report.Long Read.
Last Friday,10/5, my good friend and business associate Randy Peck told me that a client he had planned to take to the Dead Man's Pass Ranch in Comstock, just north of Del Rio in Val Verde County, had to cancel due to family obligations. The hunt was already booked and paid for thru Tom Hooker, who owns the Bow Pro Shop Service bow shop off Green Greenbusch Road behind Katy Mills Mall, and now was a man short. There were two other spots taken up by Randy's foreman Joe and business associate, Mark and they needed another hunter to reach the four paid spots.
He invited me, asking if I could go one such short notice. Needless to say I jumped on the chance and am so very glad I did. After a quick conversation with my most gracious boss, we began making the plans for the Thursday morning 5 AM departure time from Randy's office.
We were going to be bow hunting while Mark and Joe would be using their rifles Thursday afternoon thru Sunday morning on the ranch where they raise giant whitetail and Elk. Ours was a management hunt consisting of a meat hunt for a spike or doe and a buck up to a 115" class, which we all chose to upgrade to a 130" for only a small fee.
Upon arrival to the Dead Mans Pass Ranch, Ross DeVries, the ranch manager who lives there with his wife Anna and their two daughters and 12-year-old son Ross Jr, greeted us. We also met our four guides, Craig, Robert, Michael J and Tom who we followed down there.
Ross made us feel at home the very moment we got out of the truck. He is truly a great guy with a gregarious attitude who made us feel like friends, and never a client or customer, for our entire hunt. His wife Anna cooked all of our meals in the guesthouse, which was like no other I have stayed in. You could tell from the beginning that these folks truly love what they do and this is no ordinary deer camp! It was incredible! Clean like you would not believe with every amenity you can think of from the floor up. There are two rooms with 4 bunks each that share a bathroom and two king size bedrooms on the other side of the main den area which also share a bathroom. I have hunted all over Texas and the south and have never been so well taken care of in such a nice place as we were by Ross and Anna. I think I gained 5 lbs while there. This was an all-inclusive hunt where we only had to bring our bows and clothes. Everything else was included, and I do mean everything. The fridge was well stocked and there were plenty of snacks and fruit, they leave nothing to chance.
Our hunt Thursday PM was fun but the weather was hot and not much was moving. We all saw deer but no one took a shot. Friday morning was nice and cool and the deer were moving all over the place. I was in a tripod in the top of a cedar and had deer around me from daylight till around 9. I had a nice 3.5-year-old 115 class in from of me but would not line up in one of my shooting lanes. I made a quick move and got picked off. They were gone in an instant. That afternoon we had to make a ground blind because the wind had shifted from the north to the south. We saw a few does and small bucks but never got a shot because I got picked off again trying to draw on a big doe. It's tough to get a shot when there are ten to fifteen sets of eyes watching for you. The next morning we were back in the same blind with a misty rain falling. I had deer all around me and got picked off again by a big old doe with twin fawns. I learned to hate that deer over the next day and a half. She was always picking me off. She was one of the original breeder does and was said to be the oldest deer on this ranch. She had a red tag in her ear, which she thought made her impervious to hunters. I was told not to shoot any does with twins or triplets and that heifer had twins. Man I wanted to kill that doe bad!
After breakfast, it was still misting rain and I suggested going back out for a couple more hours and then come in for lunch before heading back out for the evening hunt. Everyone agreed and we were off in no time. Craig, my guide, and I had to run the red tag doe and a couple other deer off before I could get into my ground blind. I didn't mention that each set up on the ranch has a nice tower blind overlooking the valleys and feeder. The guides would get in the towers and glass for deer and alert the hunter by radio when a critter was closing in. Having a spotter was really cool.
While I was hunting the red tag doe came back and brought another big doe with her. The 2nd doe was fair game and stood broadside at 12 yards from me while the red-tagged doe was 5 yards from me munching on sotto plants. The shooter was blocked by a weed just below her back and a wouldn't take a shot thru the top of the plants, not wanting to wound or deflect and miss her. She finally took a couple of steps and I raise my Trykon to whack her. The red tagged b***h picked me off and snorted. Bye-bye shooter deer! I really hated that doe. Everyone in camp was giving me hell because I had been seeing so many deer and everyone else had taken their meat deer. One asked me if I wanted to use his rifle and I reminded him that we drove MY truck down there.
Later that same afternoon we were back in the same spot and Craig came on the radio and said, "you wont believe who is walking your way again". My arch nemesis! The red tag doe! Trailing her though was the other doe. They circled me checking the wind and came back around to the sotto plant again. That stuff must be a drug to deer because they wouldn't leave it alone. The r/t doe was a little behind me with her head down in a bush munching when the shooter stepped into the same position as she was a few hours before. This time I decided that I was going for a spine shot. I aimed for her, just over the top of the brush. If she ducked, I would miss, but at least I would finally take a shot. I aimed at the front top of her back and squeeze my release. Wham! She was down like a rock! I got over to her quickly to dispatch her and turned watched that B***H with the red tag go over the hill in a full run.
That same night, Joe shot a very nice 9 and Mark took a spike. It was a great hunt at a great ranch that everyone should try. I am going back in December when it gets colder looking for that 130 class and this time my wife will be hunting with me. I can't wait! Sorry for the long read but I can't explain what a great time it was any shorter.

My 1 and 1/2 year old Jack Russell/Chi Mix is in a cage for approx 4 hours day. When we come home he starts humping the air and gets an errection of unsizable lenght and can't move for several minutes. This happens on a daily, sometimes more than once basis. He has been nuetered. I don't know if he needs to take something or he is that glad to see us? It's quite disturbing and embarrassing, especially when someone other than family comes over to let him out. Any suggestions?

I feel overwhelmed. I feel frustrated. I feel upset. I feel mad. I feel hurt. I feel so many things that my initial reaction to them is to ignore them. I like to think I am pretty good at dealing with problems head on but this one won't go away. There is also no end in sight. It's a problem that I can't discuss with many people nor do I want to discuss it with many people. My mom has MS and it sucks. It absolutely sucks. I can't get a handle on it. I can't. I am admitting it. I don't even know where to begin to get a handle on it because it is constantly changing. There are new symptoms, new emotions, new issues to tackle, constantly new. They also aren't my symptoms. They also aren't symptoms I totally understand. They are new terms and phrases. MS also brings decisions that aren't mine to make. They are Mom's to make. I have no control over a situation that is infiltrating every ounce of my life. My lack of knowing what to do is driving me crazy. I literally sit as my head fills with thoughts and have no idea what to do. I just want to curl back into my shell and do nothing. I just want this to go away. I just want to scream.
I Want to Scream

On behalf of the Board of the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association (ILGA), and hosts RFSL, The Swedish Federation for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Rights, organize the XXVI ILGA World Conference to be held in Stockholm, Sweden, between the 10 and 16 December 2012.
The theme of the conference will be "Global Rights, Global Respect".
Since the World Conference in Sao Paulo in 2010, we have many things to
celebrate, ILGA has gained consultative status with the United Nations –
ECOSOC status; the first-ever United Nations high-level panel on
violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender
identity was held at the Human Rights Council in March this year; Ban Ki
Moon, the Secretary General of the UN has made his support for the
human rights of LGBTI people very clear; ILGA is approaching 1000
members and our annual report on state-sponsored homophobia has become
and important global tool for LGBTI human rights advocacy. At the same
time it is evident that we as a movement have some challenges and
important discussions ahead of us on how we as a movement act in
solidarity without taking over the voice of those we advocate for. These
are discussions we will engage in at the conference in Stockholm!
In addition we will get together and
share experiences and best practice, learning from each other and
creating stronger and sustainable networks.
The conference will start Wednesday
December 12 and will be preceded by some thematic pre-conferences – more
information on these is forthcoming!
We look forward to seeing you in Stockholm!

The following is an outline of my upcoming presentation at the Richmond chapter of the American Marketing Association on Tuesday, March 29nd. If you are an AMA member, it's free!
There's no shortage of advice about how to improve your website's search rankings and increase traffic from search engines. But how do you know if your efforts are paying off? Hint: It's not where you rank on Google.
The old adage is true, "If you can't measure it, you can't manage it."
Join us for a conversation about accountability in Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising, and website analytics. Andrew Miller will help you understand the relationships between strategies, tactics, and performance metrics that really matter.
If you don't know the ROI of your AdWords campaigns or SEO initiatives, this Market Dialogue is for you!
We'll cover a wide range of topics related to improving e-commerce sales, generating more sales leads (phone and email), and increasing your company's ability to measure all of your online marketing efforts against your specific business objectives.
Afterwards, you will be able to assess whether or not your SEO and PPC campaigns are running as efficiently and effectively as they could be, how your competitors' results compare to yours, and how to prioritize your next moves.
Hope to see you there!

The first three years of my sales job I focused on efficiency. I figured that I couldn't add more time to my day, so I started finding hacks to help me sell more. It worked, I became the top sales rep with the most amount of sales in company history… until last year.
A new guy joined the company and dethroned me. I was angry and spent the next few months grinding against him, but he kept beating me. I finally sucked up my pride and approached him. I was so impressed with the conversation that I canceled my day and decided to shadow him. Everyone thought I was crazy. This guy swooned every person he talked to, and this is how:
Hack #1: Know your customer
If you want to make a successful sell, then you've got to know your audience. Yes, this is obvious, but there's more to it. It's not just about knowing what they want, but also about predicting how they want to hear the information. I'm talking personality here. I used the same tone and strategy for every customer, while this guy seemed to change his personality by the call. "What the hell are you doing?" I asked. He explained, "If they're a slow talker, I match their speed. If they're outspoken, I become a listener." This guy tries to predict the personality that the customer enjoys.
Hack #2: Master the art of "upselling"
Another way this guy improved his sales was through the good ol' "upsell." See, clients call because they want/need something. Upselling is all about giving them what they want, complementing their decision, and then make them believe they need something to improve their purchase. It's as simple as that. If you don't know how to do it, then here are his four tips:
- Establish a relationship of trust with the client. If your client trusts you, he/she will believe you when you tell them they need an additional product. A client that trusts a salesperson is a client that will be more easily persuaded into making another purchase
- Begin by offering friendly suggestions instead of a pushy sales pitches. Don't even mention the word sell. You need to target the problem first. Guide them through the thought process, so they understand the problem. If you notice a positive response, only then can you push the sale.
- Only push services that the client really needs/wants. Again, if you know your client (hack #1), you'll know exactly what to recommend. Try and stick to this margin, because pushing the wrong products or services may lead customers to close up. CODE RED. Avoid this at all costs.
- Learn to accept 'No' for an answer. Yes, this is about being persuasive, but coming off as "annoying" may harm the sale. If you notice that your client really isn't interested in buying anything else, then just leave it at that, and give him/her what they want.
Hack #3. Use proper tools
- With all of the technological advances in sales efficiency, you can automate most of your tasks. What's not to like about that? Keep in mind, however, that you need to maintain some sort of human/personal contact with your client. Make sure you're automating the right tasks. These are some of the apps that we strongly recommend:
- You Can Book Me: this calendar-scheduling tool helps you set meetings at the most convenient time. This amazing platform erases the need of asking whether a certain time works for the other person or not. Give it a try!
- Slack: There's no need to send emails to your coworkers. Instead, keep in touch via your personalized Slack channel. Keep communication quick with this instant messaging service. Talk about simplification
- Momentum: as a Chrome extension, this tool will help you establish your priorities. Momentum shows you reminders, so you'll never forget your tasks!
- HubSpot Marketing: with the help of this tool, you'll be notified when someone misses your e-mail or when they're straight up ignoring you. It's free and effective.
- Foxclocks: with this system, you'll be able to keep track of the time zones within your territory. It comes in handy if your traveling across time zones. Maybe you should avoid sending emails at 3 AM local time! Who's going to see that? Probably no one.
Hack #4: Make your meeting shorter
If there's something every salesperson knows, it's that time is gold. What's the point of devoting hours of your precious time to a client who won't buy your product/service? It's important that you shorten your calls, and with the spare time you have, maintain your schedule. This guy would preestablish the amount of time he'd talk to customers. By knowing he only had 20 minutes to talk, he cut his 45-minute spiel down to the essentials. Why? Because time matters!
Hack #5: Split your inbox and label your emails
I get a TON of emails every day. It's my least favorite part of the job, and probably yours too. This guy blew through his email by splitting his inbox. He Categorized by lead. Even when this sounds like a bigger mess, it isn't. Nothing goes unnoticed, and he has more control over things.
Hack #6: Don't be afraid to wear your sales hat
Think of this: if you don't sell, you won't earn money. If you don't make money, well… you know. If you really want to thrive and prosper, it's time to wear your sales hat and to stop fearing the outcome. Gather up some courage; stop being afraid, and start selling! This guy spoke with confidence like I never heard before. So, even if you have to fake it, fake it until you make it. Studies show that sales decrease because of a lack of courage and an increase in stress levels. You have to come off as secure and confident.

As promised in my last regular post, "The Serious Business of Enjoying God," I will be sharing a captivating "motion picture" my Beloved projected onto the movie screen of my mind almost ten years ago and how it's still affecting me today.
I completely understand if you are sincerely wondering, How do you know it was from God?
Let me tell you how I know.
"By the fruit it's still bearing and the fact that it agrees with New Covenant truth."
It wasn't the first motion picture He gave me. Or the last.
But this particular grace reel contains gems that, I believe, are meant to be shared with believers in Christ who have a God-given longing to savor (give oneself to the enjoyment of) His astonishing, one-of-a-kind love for his or her beautiful new heart.
Before I share it, I would like to tell you what led up to this enlightening, endearing experience.
- Reading about other believers' impacting encounters with the indwelling Spirit of Christ made me hungry to also experience His love in tangible ways (I believe this hunger originates in His heart's desire for those who belong to Him to be overcome by His love.)
- My longing to experience His up-close-and-personal love exceeded my desire to feel accomplished through marking off items on my seemingly never-ending to-do list.
- I turned on relaxing Christian instrumental music (See "Simple Devotion to Christ" for a list of my favorites).
- With my open journal resting on the pillow in my lap and a black gel pen in hand, I turned my focus toward a Thomas Kinkade print titled "The Garden of Prayer." This ethereal scene invited me to step into its contagious serenity. (I could almost feel the warmth of the morning sun's rays, smell the fragrant bouquet of flowers strewn along the water's edge, and hear the trickling stream.) Kinkade describes the purpose for which he created this beautiful painting: My prayer is that this painted garden will be a meeting place for many that would speak to their God in the silence of morning.
- In my mind's eye, I saw myself standing by the open gate, looking down the well-worn path for His coming. Then I started writing what I heard and saw:
How can I have more passion for Jesus?
The way I grow in my love for Him is to grow in my understanding of His love for me.
It takes the power of His love on my heart to love Him back.
The secret to loving is living loved in Christ, my Spiritual Bridegroom!
When Jesus wants to empower me to love Him, He reveals Himself as the One who passionately loves me.
I wait in the Garden of Prayer for the One whom my heart loves.
It's a beautiful spring morning, not too hot and not too cold.
I hear the birds singing and the stream flowing gently beside the gazebo.
I smell the fragrant flowers as a warm breeze makes its way past every bloom.
I feel my heart beating in anticipation of spending sweet moments with my Beloved.
I can hardly wait until He gets here! I love spending time with Him!
I look toward the end of the pathway to see if I can catch a glimpse of His coming.
Waiting is the hardest part, but so worth it!
I sit on the steps of the gazebo and close my eyes, dreaming of my Beloved.
He is Perfect in every way!
I stand up and walk to the open gate, looking down the path once more.
I see movement!
I see the form of a Man at the far right end of the pathway walking toward the gate.
As He gets closer, I make out His face. My Beloved!
He has come just to see me.
He is smiling the most radiant smile; joy is His countenance.
I cannot wait until He gets to the gate, so I run up the path to meet Him.
As I approach, He opens His arms wide.
Like a child, I jump into His loving embrace.
He says, "My love, you are so beautiful! It is the desire of My heart to be with you."
He holds me for what seems like a long time.
I rest my head on His chest and feel His rapid heartbeat.
Then He kisses my forehead and says, "Let's walk together."
He takes my hand in His as we walk down the pathway toward the gazebo.
As we walk, I sense that we are the only two people in the world.
As His hand holds mine, I feel the scar from one of the wounds He received on my behalf.
It is a silent reminder of a love without limits, a love that stretches beyond time.
He squeezes my hand to let me know He is reading my thoughts.
He experiences great joy when I meditate on the truths of His undying love for me.
Oh, what ecstasy!
What delight!
To spend time with the One my heart loves!
The open gate invites us into the garden.
We accept by walking through it.
We drink in the lush scenery—the vibrant trees, flowering bushes, and the diamond-like sheen on the surface of an unhurried stream.
"I created all this so that we could enjoy it together, forever, My love."
"Every beautiful thing you see was created for your enjoyment."
My heart is overwhelmed to know that I was on His mind at creation.
"But you need to know that not a single place on this earth holds a candle to your beauty."
He points to the white calla lilies nestled within the greenery outlining the stream and says, "Aren't they gorgeous?"
"They are pure and white and look like the flame of a candle."
"They also look like trumpets heralding the beauty of My creation."
He turns to me and softly whispers, "You asked Me what your new name was when I created you in Me on that crisp Autumn evening."
"Your new name is 'Magnificent Beauty,' the meaning of the calla lily."
"You will trumpet My name and My love throughout the earth before My coming."
"Your passion will burn brightly for Me as a candle illuminates the night."
"Your purity and holiness will stand out in a world where darkness tries to overtake the light."
"You are My Magnificent Beauty, My love."
"Come and dance with Me under the gazebo."
We dance together as one, swaying to the rhythm of His heartbeat.
As I rest in His guidance, every twirl and turn is orchestrated by Him.
Oh, how I love to dance with my Beloved!
He whispers, "My love, always trust in My leading; never try to lead."
I nodded as I relax my left ear on His chest.
I realize His heartbeat and mine are synchronized.
When I'm dancing with Him, I feel the most alive!
We stop dancing. He says, "My love, let's rest awhile."
We walk to the steps on the other side of the gazebo, roll up the hem of our garments, sit down, and dangle our bare feet in the cool stream.
Oh, how refreshing and invigorating it is!
"Isn't it fun to become as little children and play in the water!" He exclaims. I
wholeheartedly agree.
When He raises one foot out of the water, I see another reminder of the great price He paid for me.
He winks at me, reading my thoughts once again.
He reaches down, cups water in His hand, and splashes me with it.
"I have made you clean," He says.
"Don't ever forget you are pure, righteous, and holy."
"Your heart is brand-new in Me."
This is difficult to believe, especially when my behavior is less than stellar.
Understanding my unspoken struggle, He responds, "My love, your spiritual birth determines your identity, not your behavior."
"The more you focus on Me and your flawless identity in Me, the more your behavior will line up with who you really are."
I breathe a long sigh of relief in response to His life-giving words and relax in His perfect love for me.
We lie back on the gazebo, and I fall asleep in His arms.
When I wake up, I see Him looking at me with tender love.
He says to me, "You are My pearl, My most treasured possession."
"I never sleep."
"My eyes are continually gazing with perfect love on you."
"Trust Me with every detail of your life."
I respond, "I do trust You! Cause me to trust and love You more!"
He replies, "My pleasure!"
We get up and walk hand-in-hand to the open gate.
He raises my hand to His scarlet lips, kisses it, and says, "Until we meet again."
He strokes my hair as I hug Him goodbye.
I watch Him walk to the end of the pathway until He's out of sight.
I miss Him already and can hardly wait until He comes again!
I will never forget this impacting encounter with my Beloved.
I look forward to many more as He leads me to fix the eyes of my beautiful, new heart on Him in wonder-filled expectancy.
I would like to clarify that we are never separated from our Beloved.
We are in Him and He is in us eternally, without interruption.
The parts of this motion picture that might suggest separation are an illustration of the times when we are not intentionally focusing on and enjoying our unbreakable union with Him.
Dear reader, do you have a desire to savor Christ's refreshing love in up-close-and-personal ways?
If so, there's no time like the present to enjoy His presence!

Do you need a
Repair or Replacement?
We can help you to determine if your roof just needs repairs, or if a replacement would be more appropriate. Please fill out the form below.
What are some of the typical causes of roof problems?
There are different types of roof problems, and it is best to be aware of them so you can avoid shortening the life span of the roof. Some typical roof problems are:
How do I know if I need a new roof if I don't see any leaks?
Leaks are not the only reason for replacing a roof. Furthermore, if you wait until you begin seeing leaks, you may end up with more damage and a bigger problem than you had hoped. So, check your roof regularly for the following:
What kind of preventive maintenance should I do for my roof?
Since roofs are constantly exposed to the elements, most roof damage results from weather and pollutants in the atmosphere. To save yourself big repair costs or even having to replace your roof before its time, you should perform a general inspection on your roof at least twice a year, checking for mildew, mold, rust, trapped water, and possible damage, and hire a contractor to make repairs if necessary. That is the best preventive maintenance you can do.
Also, be sure to keep your roof clean. Remove any debris that may accumulate on it and clean out the roof gutters regularly. Also, repair any weather damage as soon as it occurs.

Preschool and the Pretty Please List
I went to a parent co-operative preschool from the ages of 2 to 4 and have nothing but fond memories of my time there. So naturally I couldn't wait for Charlotte to go to the magical land of glitter play-doh, splatter painting, and most importantly, a place I'm not in charge of cleaning.
So many things were running through my head as I held hands with my little girl and walked her through those seemingly metaphorical rainbow gates. We already have everything we could ever dream of, but here is my pretty please list for preschool:
Pretty please don't let my kid be that kid: the follower, the smelly, or the screamer.
Pretty please don't let me be that parent. I promise not to become the PTA president (at least not this year). And please grant me the ability to do all my worrying and crying in the privacy of my own car.
Pretty please don't let me slip further than a 5 on the "Anal-Retentive Scale of Worry". I pray preschool doesn't keep me up at night hallucinating about giant colonies of head lice and rogue strains of bacterial meningitis.
Pretty please don't pick up any new swear words, bite marks or bad behavior.
Now go forth and shine as bright as the twinkle little stars we must incessantly sing about.

On August 4th 1892 Andrew and Abby Borden were stabbed to death with a hatchet in their Fall River Massachusetts home. Almost immediately the police focused on Andrew's younger daughter, 33 year old Lizzie. Her dubious alibi of being outside in a stifling hot barn was almost as suspicious as the burning of her dress shortly after the murders. Inconsistencies in her narrative and the lack of another possible perpetrator compelled the police to draw up charges. The media ate up the story of Lizzie Borden, reporting her every move, outfit, and gesture in the courtroom. The trial lasted for 15 days and the jury deliberated 90 minutes.
1. Socioeconomic status.
The prevailing belief in 1893 was that danger happened by dangerous people. The poor, the different, the outside. Lizzie Borden was not only raised amongst the court-goers in a small tight-knit community, she was a member of an influential and highly respected family. Though arguably disliked, her wealthy father commanded respect. So did Lizzie. It was simply unheard of for the rich and respectable to be involved in low down viciousness. That was the work of the lower class.
2. Female delicacy
Many argue the verdict would have come down differently if Lizzie were a man. Fainting in the courtroom at the sight of her father's and stepmother's skulls certainly earned her some "weaker sex" points. She sat in court every day wearing frilly, conservative, church-appropriate garb at a time when gender biases were literally part of our religion. The lens through which we view men and women are still dual-toned. Would she have been convicted if she were a man? Maybe not, but it's a safe bet the jury would have deliberated for longer than 90 minutes.
3. Burden of proof
The case against Lizzie was formed primarily by the fact no one else could have done it, and secondarily that she acted suspiciously in the crime's aftermath. However, there is a legitimate argument that such evidence does not meet the burden of proof for a murder conviction. Some still believe in the intruder theory, and burning a dress should objectively not be considered unassailable proof of guilt. As much as it pains the contemporary world (in which her guilt is predominantly accepted), when it comes to the rules of law and reasonable doubt - maybe the jury got this one right.

Backups on BC Vault are done via either the integrated MicroSD card slot and/or encrypted QR codes printed onto paper.
Either option offers identical security, the only difference will be data longevity and convenience:
- MicroSD cards are very convenient but less reliable
- Paper is (under the right conditions) very durable, but less convenient to restore.
Depending on what you choose the instructions will differ. If you choose MicroSD, just insert your MicroSD into your BC Vault and click Backup to MicroSD in Settings. You can have multiple backup points on the same MicroSD.
Remember: Each backup will feature Password+PIN codes (Global and Wallet) as they were at the point of backup creation!
If you choose Paper QR, click Backup to Paper QR in Settings, then a popup should appear asking you where you want to print the pages. Select a printer available to your PC and click Print!
We suggest you do multiple MicroSD backups and safe them at different locations. With Paper QR backup you can also write down all the required PIN codes if you choose so and thus have full backup. Be careful to store such a backup in a secure location.
You have to do NEW BACKUP whenever you add additional wallet!
There is absolutely no way to restore a backup without your Password+PIN codes (Global and Wallet)!
HINT: If you want to have "foolproof" backup that requires no passwords, you can temporary remove Global and Wallet PIN/Password (change it to empty), create backup and store it very securely (like your personal vault or bank vault). After "no password" backup is created you can again set Global and Wallet PIN/Password. That is the flexibility of BC Vault.

I joined Dr. Charlie Crane in Sandpoint for March, 2010. He is one of four MDs in a bustling practice that is primarly clinic with inpatient including ICU crossover. Schedule is highly flexible depending on interests — Dr. Crane does most everything.
The town is small and picturesque. The clinic and hospital are separated by a couple of blocks. The conditions on Schweitzer were really pretty good, and we were on the mountain about 3 days a week.
All at Dr. Crane's practice are extremely welcoming. Lodging was housesitting his partner's 40 acre farm, and meant collecting chicken eggs, feeding the rabbits and running with the german shepherd.
Overall an unbelievable experience, highly recommended, and a great opportunity to strengthen primary care, skiing, and farming skills.

There is a partial solar eclipse on 15th Feb, on the Aquarius new moon. With the Sun and Moon lined up in conjunction with Mercury, the messenger god of communication, and the asteroid, Juno, goddess of marriage and fidelity. Aquarius is a sign that rejuvenates the spirit and promises to raise the vibration, offering a more enlightened vision of the future. With Mercury and Juno in close attendance, one might expect a lot of frank, open communication and dialogue around marriage and commitment.
The intensity of the eclipse will tend to bring things to a head, and force us to confront what needs to be expressed. Uranus (in Aries) is exactly sextile to Mercury, so there are opportunities here for open-hearted, open-minded and creative discourse in this area, over the coming months. Jupiter in Scorpio is square to the Aquarian configuration, so we also need to be mindful not to lose perspective, and over-estimate what is possible. There is a great opportunity here though, to realise the true meaning of union, both within ourselves and in our relationships with others.
Aquarius reminds us that there are many facets and dimensions to our connectedness as human beings in a more-than-human, multi-dimensional cosmos. It may assist in drawing together soul mates and twin flames, and it is an invitation to move beyond the more possessive aspects of exclusivity, and the toxicity of jealousy. The energy of this eclipse season, including the lunar eclipse of two weeks ago, is something that reverberates for the next six months until the next eclipse season.

Paneer/Ricotta part 2
In an attempt to continue our demonstration of the various possibilities available in using pressed Ricotta or Paneer (see previous article), we're going to now demonstrate the Ricotta cutlet. For this execution, one needn't pre-fry the Paneer as in the stewed preparations, because it will be fried in its final step anyways.
Shallow-Fried, Panko - Crusted Ricotta
1 lbs. block Paneer (see previous Blogpost)
3 ea Eggs, whole, beaten
1 lbs. All-Purpose Flour
1 lbs Panko Breadcrumbs
2 c Grapeseed Oil, or as needed
Finishing Salt, as needed.
(Note: That typical fried cheese that you're picturing is a completely different animal. Breaded Mozzarella is elastic, fatty and delicious in its own way. Shallow-fried Paneer is more firm and high in protein, making it more like a vegetarian chicken or tofu cutlet.)
Our Paneer "Blocks" are shaped nicely, since we use a cheese press.
Rougher, organic shapes are lovely as well, like snowflakes.
- First, take the block of Paneer and slice into cutlets.
- Dredge Paneer cutlets in All-Purpose flour, tap off all excess.
- Coat in beaten Eggs
- Finish by dredging in Panko Breadcrumbs.
- Shallow-fry in 1/2 inch of Grapeseed Oil, turning to brown evenly.
-Place on paper towels to drain oil, sprinkle with finishing salt.
- Serve as desired.
At, Le Cigare Volant, we currently serve our Breaded Ricotta with Blistered Chard, Butternut Squash Gnocchi, and Carrot/Pumpkin Puree. The flavor accents come from a compote we call Apple Agrodolce, which is an Italian sweet and sour sauce. We draw a line of Parmesan Puree on the dish in front of the guest. This puree is sharp, tangy and bright with acidity and salt, allowing us to accent all of the rich flavors in the dish. By drawing the line, we force the guest to pull the food through the condiment, creating a very interesting, slow, and complex flavor release.
How sick does that sound?!?

Hertfordshire Conservatives are under fire for going back on a pledge made two years ago not to cut bus routes again after they proposed a further reduction in funding that will bring the total cuts to a total of £1.5m.
At the HCC Highways and Waste Panel the Conservatives voted through a budget cut of £200,000 in the coming financial year, rising to £700,000 in a full year from 2015. This will reduce the current budget subsidy for bus routes from £3.9m to £3.2m. Two years ago the Conservatives cut £800,000 from this budget – axing half a dozen routes and reducing others to very limited hours. At the time the then Conservative Cabinet Member responsible for Highways (Stuart Pile) said no further reductions would be made.
Liberal Democrat Group Leader and Highways spokesperson, Stephen Giles-Medhurst, (Central Watford and Oxhey) said, "This cut will mean a full year 32% reduction in the money available to support bus services in just three years. It one of the biggest cuts, if not the biggest, that the Conservatives are making to any one service. It was clear in the meeting that Conservatives had decided in advance to ignore any concerns about vulnerable, elderly and those living in rural communities being isolated if services were lost. The Conservatives had made up their minds and they were going to cut this budget without even knowing what routes are being closed down."
The cut was buried the budget papers with just four words of text supporting it! Despite repeated questioning from myself and fellow Lib Dem Malcolm Cowan (Handside and Peartree) officers could not tell anyone which services would go or be reduced but that there would be a "serious effect" on the services." , said Stephen Giles-Medhurst.
"Frankly this is a disgrace and an insult to residents and councillors alike that the Conservatives will not be honest with us and tell us with services will go or be reduced. I had expected then to live up to their promise not to cut this area further, after all there is a core council policy of trying it get more people out of their cars on to public transport and this will do the opposite. Instead of cutting this they could have cut money from their £3m plus publicity budget or saved some of the £7m they have wasted on securing empty properties.", said Stephen.

Meals From the Pantry - Sourdough Doughnuts
I think this recipe will be a fitting post after long break from posting anything here. February was a really full month, and I found myself working on lots of projects and finding little time to write about them. Currently were are working on moving around all our furniture which takes a while for us, because we usually need to live in a space for a while to really get a feel for if something is working or not. It gets annoying, but it means we deep clean fairly frequently, so that's not all bad.
I wanted to share my recipe for sourdough doughnuts as part of my "Meals From the Pantry" series. If you've been following along you'll know that the main idea of these recipes is to use what you have on hand. This one is a little bit different, because I know not everyone has a sourdough starter, but it's something that takes common ingredients, very little work, and adds a whole lot of depth to your baking options. Mine lies dormant in my fridge for a month at a time, sometimes, and it's still kicking. A while back I reviewed the book Sourdough: Slow Bread for Busy People, and I really recommend it as a great resource for demystifying the process of baking this way. I'm not getting any benefit from saying that - this is just a book that I've found helpful and wanted to let you know about. Anyone can do this - if I can fit it into my unpredictable schedule you can for sure!
The other reason I like this recipe and feel it fits the topic, is that it helps me use up my jam. I have made a lot of jam over the past few years, and we haven't eaten through it at the rate I've made it. I had some peach ginger jam I made an embarrassing amount of years ago which was still completely safe to eat, but a bit past its prime in terms of peak flavour. Combined with the tang of the sourdough, and the sweet-bitter flavour of the caramel sauce they were glazed with it still worked perfectly. I also feel that I need to give a bit of a disclaimer, that I am not an expert at doing this, but I am sharing my method which is sometimes a bit less technical than most bakers, but part of the beauty of sourdough baking is that it can be forgiving that way. It can also be a bit random, and everyone's starters are different, so sometimes it takes practice to really understand what you are working with.
So the basic process to go from sourdough starter to doughnuts, is that you take a bit of your starter, mix it with some more flour, sugar, and water, and allow that to ferment for about four hours. Below you can see it just mixed, and after the full fermentation where it is all relaxed and bubbly.
After that, you mix that with some milk until there are no lumps remaining. Add eggs, more sugar and flour, salt, and butter. You can also optionally flavour your dough with lemon zest, or other things like that. I tried it once this way, but I prefer the dough more plain so you don't have to contend with the lemon when you are planning your filling and glaze. As much as we treat lemon and vanilla as basic flavours, they don't actually always go with everything.
This rests on your counter for several hours. You can choose to put it in the fridge at this point if you need to take a break or you know your timing will be awkward leading up to when you will be able to fry them. For me this slowed the process down way too much for my timeline, and changed the quality of the dough when I finally had to finish them. You want this dough to be completely risen so that the finished dough balls are light and fluffy and float in the oil. If they are underdone they will sink and/or not cook completely all the way through. When this happened to me I started flattening them out really thin before I put them in the oil, but this did change the texture quite a bit. Still pretty tasty, but the fluffier version was my favourite.
When the dough is risen, completely fluffy and when you poke it it feels soft and airy, you'll want to form it into round dough balls. These should be about 70 grams each, but the size is really up to you. Leave these to rise for another four hours until they are very soft. When placed in the oil they should float because they are so filled with air.
After you feel they are ready, heat up your oil - I used a 50/50 mix of coconut oil and home rendered lard because it was what I had enough of, and I really liked how it turned out. You want at least two inches between the floating doughnut and the bottom of the pan. Unfortunately I don't have a thermometer, so I put a little piece of dough in when I thought it was hot enough and watched to see if it got all crazy bubbly (which I took to mean it was ready - I know, very unscientific, but it worked). It's a good idea to consider your first doughnut as a sacrifice to checking the oil temperature and making sure you've got your cooking times right. A few minutes on each side is all it should take. Remember that the dough will continue cooking for a little bit even after you take them out due to the residual heat, and that the structure seems to firm up a bit as it cools, so wait a little while before you cut into it to check if it cooked all the way through. If you are happy with it, start cooking the rest. Keep in mind that you might need to adjust your oil temperature part of the way through since the oil will get hotter as you fry with it.
When the doughnuts are completely cool cut a small slit in the sides. Prepare a piping bag with a metal tip by filling it with whatever jam (or other filling you like - I used rose hip curd blended into whipped cream once and that was fantastic) you will be using. Insert the tip into the slit, and gently squeeze. You should be able to feel the doughnut getting full so you know when to stop. This might take a bit of practice. Glaze the doughnuts with whatever you like, but for the jam I was using I chose to make a runny caramel sauce.
Caramel from scratch is simple, and made with really basic ingredients, but you need to pay close attention to what you are doing. The point between sugar being perfect, and sugar being burnt is very fine, so this is not the time to multitask! Watch that sugar like a hawk. Pour it over the doughnuts when it is still hot. I imagine a caramel glaze would be delicious with just about any flavour of jam.
Sourdough Doughnuts with Jam Filling and Caramel Glaze
- 25 g sourdough starter
- 90 g flour
- 30 g sugar
- 90 g warm water
Takes , yields 12 - 20 doughnuts.
- Mix all the ingredients together and let sit in a covered bowl (cling wrap, beeswax cloth, or a damp tea towel are useful here) to ferment for four hours in a warm place.
Making the Doughnuts
For the Doughnuts
- All the pre-made starter
- 150 g milk
- 3 eggs
- 100 g sugar
- 6 g salt
- 500 g flour
- 120 g butter
- Blend the starter in the milk until there are no lumps remaining. If you are in a hurry, first warm the bowl and the milk gently (but not to scalding) so that the fermentation becomes more active sooner.
- Add the sugar, and eggs, and then mix in the flour. Knead until the dough is smooth, and elastic. This should be about 5 minutes. The dough will be really stiff at this point, so I recommend a mixer with a dough hook if you have one.
- Cube the butter, and knead it into the dough at this point until you can't see any more lumps.
- At this point take a look at the dough. It should be a fairly tacky dough, but if it is still too wet to work with, you can add a little more flour at this point. Go lightly, though because adding too much will really take away from your finished product. The wetter it can be while still being workable the better.
- Place this dough in a covered bowl and allow to ferment for 6 - 8 hours (at this point if you need a break - for even up to a day or two - you can put the dough in the fridge to slow down fermentation until you have time to work on them again), or until you can see that the dough has doubled in size, and when you touch it it feels airy and springy.
- Divide the dough and shape into balls that weigh around 70 grams each. This will give you smallish doughnuts and bring you close to the 20 amount stated in the yield at the beginning of the recipe. I found that smaller was better as sourdough is a more filling bread than one leavened with commercial yeast. Since we are also filling these and glazing them they are pretty rich so this is the size I liked. Feel free to change it up if you want fewer, larger doughnuts.
- Place the dough balls on a lightly flowered surface and cover with plastic, or a (warm) wet tea towel and allow to ferment in a warm place for another four hours, or until the doughnuts have again doubled and feel very light and airy when touched.
- Heat enough oil in a fryer, or heavy pot to allow two inches of oil between the doughnuts and the bottom of the pot. If it sizzles and bubbles when you put a small piece of dough in it is probably ready.
- Fry one doughnut for 3 - 4 minutes on one side, and 2 minutes on the second side until evenly browned. Leave it on the counter for a minute or two, and then cut to test if your time is correct. You could probably also use a cake tester or something similar, but I wanted to see what the structure of the crumb looked like inside. It should be light and pillowy.
- Fry the rest of your doughnuts!
Filling the Doughnuts
- 1 Pint sized (500 ml) jar of jam
- When the doughnuts are completely cool cut a small slit in the side of each one.
- Prepare a piping bag and metal tip with your jam, and fill all the doughnuts.
Making the Glaze
For the Caramel Glaze
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup salted butter
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Mix the sugar and water in a saucepan to start dissolving and place on medium high heat. Don't stir it again, but if you need to you can gently swirl to help the sugar dissolve evenly. Watch it very closely. It will take a while to change colour, but once it starts it happens fast.
- When the sugar has reached a deep amber colour, add the butter. It will bubble up a lot. Just keep stirring until it is melted in.
- Slowly drizzle the cream in a this point. It will bubble up like crazy again. Keep whisking until you have a smooth sauce.
- Drizzle or brush the sauce on the doughnuts while it is still hot and very liquid.

The Pierre Auger Collaboration has investigated the constraining power of the cosmic ray spectrum and composition measurements with respect to the properties of the possible sources.
The Pierre Auger Collaboration has searched for the possible presence of photons with energies exceeding 1018 eV in the flux of cosmic rays arriving at Earth. These ultra-high energy photons are produced in interactions of the charged cosmic rays with energies close to 1020 eV with the cosmic microwave background (GZK effect).
When an ultrahigh-energy cosmic ray impacts the Earth's atmosphere, it can generate an enormous cascade of billions of energetic particles capable of reaching the ground. Such a cascade is dubbed an "extensive air shower" (EAS) and is routinely being detected by the Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina near the city of Malargüe, using an array of surface detectors deployed over 3000 km2.
