WASHINGTON – President Clinton last night declared victory in the 11-week military showdown in Kosovo, doling out praise to U.S. pilots, NATO allies, European negotiators and Boris Yeltsin.
"The demands of an outraged and united international community have been met," Clinton said in a brief nationwide address – like the one he made in announcing the NATO airstrikes March 24.
Earlier yesterday, NATO officially halted the bombing campaign, and U.S. Marines and ground troops girded to enter a dangerous, devastated Kosovo – perhaps as early as today.
Clinton said the Balkan campaign resulted in "a victory for a safer world, for our democratic values, and for a stronger America."
He said the military confrontation means the end for Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic's brutal crackdown on the ethnic Albanians living in the Serbian province of Kosovo.
"His 10-year campaign of repression is finished," the president said, adding that the United States would provide no aid for Serbian reconstruction as long as Milosevic remains in power.
Earlier, the U.N. Security Council formally adopted the peacekeeping plan to put Kosovo's fate in the hands of 50,000 armed NATO soldiers, 7,000 of them Americans.
Clinton, bracing the nation for possible U.S. casualties, said the peacekeepers face "challenges and risks." He noted they'll have to be wary of sniper fire as they try to resettle 860,000 refugees in a region demolished by bombs, booby-trapped with land mines, and dotted with burned-out villages.
"Bitter memories will remain fresh, and there may well be casualties," the president warned.
The president dodged the question of how long the U.S. contingent, dubbed Task Force Falcon, will be there.
"I don't think we should put a timetable on it," Clinton said.
U.S. troops are still in the former Yugoslav republic of Bosnia after four years, despite Clinton's promise to bring them home within a year.
As NATO warplanes patrolled the skies, the first Serbian convoys – made up of grinning soldiers, flashing the three-finger national unity sign, and panicked Kosovar-Serbian civilians – left Kosovo yesterday in trucks, armored cars and buses.
U.S. Defense Secretary William Cohen said there were reports some of the forces were destroying villages on their way out.
Almost 2,000 Marines are headed for the Kosovo border today, joining an international force already 18,500-strong.
NATO officials said British troops will enter Kosovo first today, followed by French and American troops.
"There's still a long way to go," cautioned British Lt. Gen. Michael Jackson, who will head the peacekeeping mission.
Jackson tried to put the best face on the dangers facing the peacekeepers: "It is inevitable that some unpleasantries will greet them," he said, but he also warned any remaining Serbs and the rebel Kosovo Liberation Army that "violence … by any party will not be tolerated."
Asked when the refugees amassed in neighboring Albania and Macedonia will return home, Jackson said he needed "a little time" to stabilize the area.
Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, who will visit a refugee camp in Macedonia today to urge ethnic Albanians to "go home in an orderly fashion," warned that "revenge [against the Serbs] is not appropriate."
Asked if the peacekeepers will arrest any war criminals they find in Kosovo, Jackson said he has "not been given my instructions" on that, but suggested it was unlikely Milosevic will be in Kosovo any time soon.
In Belgrade, Milosevic tried to rally support in a TV appearance in which the indicted war criminal praised his country for having "survived and defended" itself. "The people are the heroes," he said.
Yesterday's U.N. resolution – which China protested but didn't try to block – OK'd the peace-keeping effort and called for the United Nations to rebuild Kosovo and lay the groundwork for self-rule. European nations will pick up the bulk of the tab.
At the White House, Clinton said he was "enormously proud" of the U.S. servicemen and women in the region, and noted that only two airmen had died – in a helicopter training mission in Macedonia – "far, far fewer" than in the 1980 Persian Gulf War.

Moab, UT
Ultra Marathon #6
Weather - WINDY and COLD
The short recap of the event is that it was pretty much the exact opposite of last year. (Last year I trained, this year I didn't. Last year was a billion degrees, this year was Arctic, etc etc).
I was SO happy that my sister in law Lisa agreed to join me for the weekend. I had forgotten it was my niece's birthday and my dad said he couldn't come with me. All week long we had been watching the weather and it looked like we might hit some trouble in the mountains. Snow was in the forecast the WHOLE weekend. We took A to school and immediately headed out. There were some icy sections but it was not nearly as terrible as we imagined. However, we did get stopped for a bit near Vail for avalanche control.
And then by the time we finally got through, we of course had to use the bathroom. We stopped at a rest area on Vail Pass. There was a TINY bit of snow:
Lisa fell asleep and I had a fairly uneventful drive. I was STARVING by the time we got to Grand Junction. We put some gas in the car and after getting a bit lost, we found a Chili's. I had some delicious Cajun pasta.
We were touristy enough to take some pictures at the state line:
From the state line it wasn't that long until we got to base camp. Thankfully, I vaguely remembered the location from last year, plus it not being dark helped a lot. The plan was to get the tent set up and then go into town to get some dinner and food for the morning.
It was windy. I was doubtful about our tent pitching skills in PRISTINE conditions. This did not go well.
And then we finally got it up...
We ended up putting about 300 pounds of rocks inside the tent to weigh it down. The ground was so hard that only 1 of the 4 corners spikes was even in the ground. Crossed our fingers that the tent would still be there when we got back and headed into town. We had dinner at the Moab Brewery. It was DELICIOUS, along with a local beer, Dead Horse Ale. Tasty. We picked up donuts for the morning at City Market and then headed back to camp.
The wind had not died down at all and it was FREEZING. I had brought the same sleeping bag I took with me to Peru and figured I would be nice and warm. NO. I was NOT. Once it got dark there was nothing to do and we were both pretty tired so "lights out" was around 9. I barely slept. The wind was insane and LOUD. I kept waking up because of the noise and the cold and the fact the tent was pretty much collapsing in on us.
I woke up WELL before my alarm went off. Turned out to be a good thing as apparently I don't move too quickly in the cold. I wasted probably 20 minutes just hovered in front of the heater in the car trying to get warm. When I had been looking at the forecast I figured with highs in the upper 40's that I would be fine wearing a t-shirt and shorts. Lisa thought I was insane. It WAS a bit chilly so I figured I'd dress a bit warmer for the first loop and could adjust later as necessary. I did NOT use any body glide (anywhere) and I wore a brand new long sleeve shirt as my base layer. Turns out, that worked out nicely.
Lisa had not registered yet for the 6 hour nighttime "fun run" and I needed to get my packet, so we headed over around 6 to get that taken care of. I was still SUPER slow getting my stuff together. I was still scrambling at 6:44, and barely made it to the mandatory pre-race meeting. I wasn't too concerned about it since I had already been through this all last year. Lisa got a picture of me at the start and then headed back to the car to stay warm.
In addition to NOT wearing shorts, can you tell I have ALL THE CLOTHES ON?? I had on a long sleeve shirt, short sleeve shirt and a jacket. Capris with compression socks, a ski hat and my awesome CIM bandanna/tube thingy for my face. Turns out, I would keep this ensemble on THE ENTIRE DAY. That should tell you how cold it was.
Start was at 7:02. This year there was a 50k added to the distance series so there were a few SUPER fast people out on the course. Like last year, I started in the back. Knowing the course, I had a conservative plan for the day. Jogging or walking up the inclines, running the flats and downhills at always an easy pace. I knew better than to care how "fast" everyone else was going. I knew how easy it could be to overexert myself.
The cold was brutal. I was wearing gloves and yet my hands were still freezing. I wanted to get some pictures on the course again, especially during the first loop when the sun is coming up and the rocks look especially red.
It was so cold that when I went to take my first drink out of my hydration vest I couldn't because the water in the bite valve was frozen. Gross. I kept hoping that once the sun came up that it would get warmer. It didn't. For 2 loops during the day, I took off my jacket thinking I would be more comfortable. It wasn't. The winds made the already cool temperatures even colder. I was doubting my ability to even MAKE it to night, much less 24 hours.
Honestly, the race is a blur. I was cold and spent most of the race looking down, trying to keep the wind off my face. As I remembered from last year, everyone was really friendly and I made sure to at least wave to the other runners. I was taking a gel at the end of every loop so I could toss my trash at base camp. I had to pee every time I got there, so even though I wasn't draining my pack, I guess I was drinking enough for the conditions.
|I think the rocks look like knuckles - every time I ran by I'd think - Moab is giving me fist bumps! (See, this is the type of crazy thoughts I have during an ultra. Maybe I've shared too much).
Sometime early afternoon, I noticed that it looked like storm clouds were rolling in. In addition to the fact it was not supposed to be windy all day, there was also supposed to be a 0% chance of precipitation. Not LITTLE chance, NO chance. And then, the snow started. Thankfully, it was a tiny amount of flurries for maybe a loop. Nothing major and it went away before it got dark. I met up with Lisa around 4:30 at base camp while she was getting everything ready. She snapped this pic of me, which is after 32ish miles:
Lisa had spent the day sightseeing at Arches and I was going to be coming in to base camp around 6:15, so she held off on starting her 6 hours until I got there. We made sure to get some pictures in before it got too dark:
|Doing a zombie walk in my zombie shirt....
We wandered back into base camp around 10:25 and I had NO qualms about calling it quits. We sat around the heater and ate some pasta. We had ZERO plans of trying to sleep in the tent again, so we warmed up the car and slept in there. Woke up a few times because it was cold, but it was MUCH better than the tent.
In the morning, we stopped by the results tent to get our official finish times. While we were waiting, we got some delicious grilled cheese sandwiches. YUM. Turns out, the cold had messed with a LOT of people and I ended up with this:
|Second place female!
Loop 2 (10.74 miles) - 9:49 am
Loop 3 (16.11 miles) - 11:22 am
Loop 4 (21.48 miles) - 1:04 pm
Loop 5 (26.85 miles) - 2:47 pm
Loop 6 (32.22 miles) - 4:33 pm
Loop 7 (37.59 miles) - 6:16 pm
Loop 8 (42.96 miles) - 8:14 pm
Loop 9 (48.33 miles) - 10:26 pm
Total Miles - 48.33 in 15:24
Overall Place - 5/9
Gender - 2/4
Last years winner ran 91.29 miles. This year, she ran 69.81. Last year I ran 64.44 and ran 16.11 less this year. I think part of that was lack of training, but most of it really was the weather. Throughout the entire day, I never felt like I was comfortable and my hands were cold all day. Overall, I am very pleased with my finish. Other than being cold, I had a great time.
Of note, this year there were only 2 finishers in the 100 mile division, whereas last year there were 3. This is NOT an easy course for the 100 distance!!
The drive back to Denver was ok. We stopped in Grand Junction again for gas and also got some food and coffee at Starbucks. We hit the snow about 20 miles before Vail. The drive was a lot slower as the roads were pretty icy and the snow was coming down pretty hard. Luckily, we missed the ski traffic and got out of the mountains by 1:30. We had lunch at Smashburger. After showering, it was time for naps. I unfortunately had to take her to the airport around 8:00 since she had to be at work the next day.
- Every time I do an ultra I say:
- This is dumb.
- Why am I doing this?
- I'm never doing this again.
- And then as soon as I'm done...
- Maybe I'll come back next year.
- I am really glad I had brought some warmer clothes for layering. They helped quite a bit, but honestly, there were people on the course in actual ski coats and pants. I could have put on more clothes.
- I really should have brought hand warmers. I might have done another loop if my hands wouldn't have been so cold.
- I only ate 4-5 gels the whole day. I ate LOTS of M&Ms and had some chicken soup after loop 7. I also ate about a billion Mike & Ikes. They are delicious.
- I filled my hydration vest with grape nuun. I only drank about 3/4 of what I had put in there. The entire day. Last year I think I went through 3 filled packs.
- I had some birthday cake after 5 or 6 loops. THAT was delicious.
- I am really happy I had different shoes this year, they were a lot more comfortable.
- I think if I were to do this again, I would need a for real, legitimate "pacer" to get me through the night hours. I get cold, and then I stop.
- I am pretty sure I will be back next year. Moab is gorgeous, the event is top notch and I absolutely LOVE that it is still a small event. I recognized a few people from last year and I know that the same people will be back next year. I just hope there is better weather next time.

Detraform has received terrific online media attention, with posts around the globe. After nearly two years of work it's exciting to see so much enthusiasm for the Detraform model 500 telephone.

After being off Monday and Tuesday, I really haven't known what day of the week it is until today! Thank god it's Friday! ;) Here's what put the sparkle into my wacky week:
- I took Tuesday off to do something crazy... like buy a car!! I still can hardly believe it! Every time I say "my car," I do a double-take because it does not compute! Aaahhh! I hope to write a post about the whole car-buying saga once I have some more coherent thoughts about it--as opposed to just total stupefaction that I now have A CAR and can go WHEREVER I WANT at ANY TIME AT ALL!! That I don't have to check with my dad or consult a Septa schedule before I plan anything! Not to mention overcoming that slight issue of being, oh, TERRIFIED of driving! This shit is bananas (b-a-n-a-n-a-s)! I even recorded a little video of me trying to make sense of it all!
- Memorial Day, however, was much less exciting because our roof leaked overnight, and we woke up to water in our kitchen and basement. Ugh. But! As Pops was out on the roof investigating, and I was leaning out the bathroom window talking to him, who comes trotting through our yard but a cat! (Well, what else would it be in our 'hood?) In fact, it was recently discovered neighborhood cat Brindle Pinky! (Because she has a pink collar like Calico Pinky, but a brindle coat, obv!) Brindle Pinky was sure to stop and stare at us like we were nuts (accurate) before continuing on her merry way. Definitely the only bright spot in the whole roof leak debacle!
- I took advantage of the long weekend to finally get all caught up on GoT! If you too are caught up, then you might appreciate this hilarious video. (I legit lol'd.)
- I've always liked Allana Davison's beauty videos and tutorials, but I recently discovered her "Everyday May" vlogs, and I totally love them. She's just so funny and down-to-earth and enjoyable to watch, even while doing nothing particularly interesting! Plus, she's often sans make-up in these vlogs, and it's so endearing to me that she'll film herself all chill with her zits and redness showing. YouTube beauty gurus, they're just like you and me! :)
- Appropriately enough, I've had The Cars in very heavy rotation lately, especially this song! It's so good!!
Well, I'm off to pinch myself again! Hope y'all have a great weekend! xo

Tonight�s series finale of �The Closer� (TNT, 8 p.m. CDT) marks Kyra Sedgwick�s final outing as Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson, and it�s a fantastic � and fitting � end to the series� seven seasons.
We knew it had to end sometime.
Tonight�s series finale of �The Closer� (TNT, 8 p.m. CDT) marks Kyra Sedgwick�s final outing as Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson, and it�s a fantastic � and fitting � end to the series� seven seasons.
But, that�s about all you�ll get out of me regarding tonight�s finale. If you�ve managed to avoid TNT�s spoiler-filled promos for thes show, close your eyes and ears so you can into the episode without any hint as to what will happen. That�s how I watched it, and I�m glad I did. (You�ll figure out pretty quickly what�s going on � at least, you�ll think you have.)
I�ll miss Sedgwick�s Southern charm, mulish insistence � really, everything about her character, especially her uncanny ability to extract confessions.
And, besides Sedgwick, that�s the biggest difference between �The Closer� and �Major Crimes,� which premieres at about 9:05 p.m. CDT tonight and might as well be called �The Closer: Epilogue.� While the end result of �The Closer� was a confession, the end result of �Major Crimes� is a plea bargain (to save money, an angry Lt. Provenza, again played by G.W. Bailey, is told).
And, while �The Closer� seemed to race from the crime scene to questioning a potential witness, �Major Crimes� seems to give a little more time to the inner politics of justice, which the series suggests is no longer a simple guilty-not guilty issue.
Beyond that, �Major Crimes� is just a more nuanced version of �The Closer,� which, I�ll admit, loses a little appeal with Sedgwick�s departure, but Mary McDonnell, who will lead the new (and reluctant) major crimes squad, provides an interesting character in Capt. Sharon Raydor. She doesn�t depart from the calculated, seemingly cold Raydor as seen in �The Closer,� but the new show provides a new perspective on her character.
I suspect that some people will enjoy �Major Crimes,� but some won�t � and others will refuse to watch in the first place. I think that�s a mistake; although it�s not �The Closer,� �Major Crimes� is an intelligent, engaging police procedural that deserves a chance to grow into the powerhouse that was �The Closer.�
Reviewer�s rating, �The Closer� finale: **** (out of ****)
Reviewer�s rating, �Major Crimes� premiere: *** (out of ****)
Coming up: Look for a Q&A with �Major Crimes� star Mary McDonnell and a peek at the show�s second episode later this week. Until then, tell me your thought on the new show.

Science Rules: Brad Efford on Bill Nye the Science Guy, Episode 11: "The Moon"
Moonglow is really sunglow reflecting off of moon rocks, the science guy says. He holds a globe-sized moon in his right hand, extended away from his body, a small mirror in his left. He jiggers the mirror so that it catches the lab's bright lights and throws them over the moon like laundry snapping in the wind.
The science guy explains why the makeup of moon rocks and those on Earth is so similar: Perhaps the Earth was hit by a giant meteorite—a giant rock in space. It hit the Earth, and that material spun off and formed the moon. He takes his meteorite model and smushes it slowly and dramatically into his model of the Earth, making the kshhhh noises children make when colliding action figures. He pulls the moon away, taking with it its light, our tides, billions of years of dreams and serenades.
The specifics behind the car wreck that ended Doris Day's dancing career and shoved her into singing are impossible to pin down. Some sources describe "an accident involving a train," others don't mention a train at all, and the local paper headline from the week after states only "Trenton Friends Regret Injury to Girl Dancer," a menacing, off-kilter angle from which to report the story. If a train, then what friends? If friends, what train? It's not impossible to piece together assumptions, but the assumptions aren't exactly comfortable, either. The news story behind the headline seems lost to history—it surely would shed light into every shadowed corner.
Here's what is known: on October 13, 1937, Doris Day's right leg was shattered in a car accident. She was either 15 or 13 years old—why is nothing certain in the life of Doris Day?—and had been preparing a move with her dancing partner, Jerry Doherty, from small-town Ohio out to Hollywood to make it big time. Her mother had already shipped the majority of their belongings—it was a done deal. The accident must have been cataclysmic, then, not only physically but from just about every other angle you can imagine, as well. During her planned 14-month recovery, Doris Day fell and reinjured her legs. She was young, bedridden, depressed. She turned to what anyone would, to what everyone turns every day: her radio.
"There was a quality to her voice that fascinated me, and I'd sing along with her, trying to catch the subtle ways she shaded her voice, the casual yet clean way she sang the words." This is Doris Day, reflecting later on the voice that would become her inspiration, aspiration, and ticket out of town. That voice, of course, was Ella's. Who else could it have been? The moon doesn't know it is the moon—all it sees is the Earth around which it revolves. Ella is not the moon in this analogy.
Doris Day took singing lessons—her vocal coach purportedly charging her for only one out of every three, so encouraged was she by the talent, the prospect, the potential—and by 1945 had scored her first bona fide hit with "Sentimental Journey." She was either 23 or 21 years old, had a three-year-old son, and was making do in Ohio, preparing to embark on her first cross-country tour, preparing, finally, to make it to Hollywood, where she would make it beyond, go orbital, break from the Midwest like a plaster cast whose purpose has been met.
In 1957, Doris Day recorded Hudson, Mills, and DeLange's "Moonglow." By then, she was The Doris Day: a figure as much as a name, a screen star as much as a singer, an irrepressible force having nearly lived already through her prime. The song itself is as standard as standards come. Her version glows absolute, iridescent, the phrasing patient and anticipatory, her voice fluttering like gossamer wings in the upper register, slinking like a hunting tiger in the lower. You can hear the confidence of someone who's achieved everything she's ever wanted. You can hear the light reflecting off Ella, the light which is really a torch, the torch burning softly, proudly in Doris Day. She sings as though she knows already, before the scientists have figured it out: moonglow's only a reflection of itself, shining brighter the nearer it edges to its source.
Ancient Greek astronomers learned the Earth was round the moment they saw its shadow cast on the moon. The science guy is demonstrating this with a bright light and his models of the Earth, the moon, the sun. He shows the way shadows take the form of their sources, the bodies that give them life. The Earth is round, so when the moon passes behind it, the light disappears in a slowly forming curve. The body itself doesn't go anywhere—eventually, if it keeps moving, it will reemerge into the light, discover its own form without inspiration. That moonglow gave me you. Eventually the body will find its shadow again, then break it as it moves. The cycle is both brutal and beautiful: full life, waning life, new. That moonglow gave me you.

Ever since we were kids, our grandmother would tell us stories about a dragon terrorizing a land and a hero eventually rising to challenge it. Those stories entertained us back then and not much has changed now, for dragon stories are still a popular theme in Hollywood. Most movies depict dragons as a danger to human society, but recently some films have also shown them as man's best friend. Here is a list of the 15 best dragon movies of all time, that surely deserve a watch if you are in a mood to enjoy some fire breathing creatures. If you're a huge fan of dragons, why not check out these comforters with dragon patterns so you can cuddle up in bed whilst watching these awesome movies!
15. Dungeons & Dragons: Wrath of the Dragon God (2005)
Based on the D&D games, the movie was a sequel to the original Dragons and Dungeons. Although an extremely low budget production, the movie still managed to do everything its predecessor failed to do: build a dramatic environment, extract a worthy performance from a handful of unknowns and suitable dialogues at all times.
The film is set 100 years after the events of the original film. Damodar survived the attack of Freeborn and now remains on the Earth as an undead. Left with nothing but the pain of his pitiful existence, he seeks revenge on the descendants of the kingdom of Izmir by waking up the mighty dragon named, Faluzure. Now Lord Berek and Melora must stop Damodar from accomplishing his sinister objective before its too late.
14. Mulan (1998)
It was always doubted if animated films could deliver a story targeted for a more mature audience, and the animation studios have proved themselves time and again. Mulan is one example. The movie was a perfect mix of a darker war theme and surreal humor.
As the Huns prepare to attack China, one man from each family is called to fight in the imperial army. The Fa Family doesn't have a son and the father decides to go himself. Mulan, his daughter, steals his armor and joins the army dressed as a man. The ancestors send a dragon to protect the fate of the Fa family and bring Mulan home safe. What follows is an epic journey of bravery, trust and love.
13. Dragon Hunters (2008)
Every 30 seasons, a dragon known as "the world gobbler" rises to wreak havoc on Earth. It is about time for the dragon to rise again and pair of con men, who are pretending to be dragon hunters, appear. The princess of the valley asks them to go on this "end of the world" journey and save humanity from the deadly beast.
Even though the movie never really sets its bar as high as How to Train Your Dragon does, it still has plenty of creative visual imagery and an interesting plot to keep you engaged, at least, for once.
12. George and the Dragon (2004)
After the end of the First Crusade, George, along with his fellow crusaders, is returning home to a less violent life. Back home, the king's daughter has been missing by what appears to be the last dragon left on Earth. Now George must find the princess in return for a piece of land on which he would continue his life.
This dragon movie is kept particularly light with character depth and suits best to younger audience. However, it won't be a disappointing watch for anybody with not-so-high expectations.
11. Dragons II: The Metal Ages (2005)
One of the rarest events at Hollywood is a sequel being better than the original. Dragons II managed to accomplish this feat quite easily. The storyline is much more creative, the characters have more depth, and the action sequences are well edited and put together.
After the events of the first film, Prince Dev and Princess Kyra face another major problem: Queen Cila has made a deal with the Shadow Dragon to help her win the war and rule the Earth; in return she would open the portal to Dragon World. Now both the prince and the princess must work with one of Queen Cila's outlaw to defeat her evil plans.
10. The Pagemaster (1994)
A young Richard Tyler gets caught up in a storm while going on a bike ride and takes refuge in a library with a strange librarian. While he is still there, Richard takes a fall and gets a bump on his head which transfers him to a fantasy world with three books to keep him company: Adventure, Fantasy and Horror. Now Richard must find his way back to the library.
Although this dragon movie had an interesting plot, the animation quality was a little disappointing even for 1994 standards.
9. Pete's Dragon (1977)
One of the lesser known Disney productions, Pete's Dragon is a story of a young boy named Pete who runs away to avoid labor activities with his new friend Elliot (a fire breathing Dragon). They befriend Nora and her father who work at a lighthouse at the edge of Passamaquoddy.
Problems begin when the people of the town realize that Elliot is not merely a figment of Pete's imagination, while Pete and Elliot buckle up to save the town from a calamity that lies ahead.
8. Eragon (2006)
A poor adaptation of the famous novel Eragon. The movie doesn't have much to boast about other than some really impressive dragon visuals, but it was a success nevertheless (thanks to its highly successful novel).
The story revolves around a 17 year old Eragon living in the farms with his uncle Garrow. Eragon finds a blue egg in the forest and keeps it. A dragon is born out of the egg, which he names Saphira. But when the king of the land learns about the egg, he decides to claim it for himself. Things go bad for Eragon as he tries to protect the dragon and his uncle.

Oct 24th Amazing Full Moon
The Taurus Full Moon is opposing retrograde Venus in Scorpio on October 24th, plus squaring the two nodes of the moon, North and South. This full Moon is 1 degree Taurus and one degree of conjuncting Uranus, the ruler of chaos and the new. And the day before the full Moon the Sun moves into Scorpio, sharing energy with retrograde Venus. The two Nodes, which always move backwards and always oppose each other, are going to be entering Cancer/Capricorn for 18 months in November, after having been in Leo/Aquarius where they are now.
These planets are in a Grand Cross, or are in a 4 ways square. This is highly charged emotional energy for the next few days. Taurus is about abundance and appreciation of your gifts and good luck. Its about evaluating what you value in your soul, and what is truly important to you. It's also about money, even though Venus does not like to work too hard, so this makes us look at investments, for business, maybe internet currency, but Uranus is there shaking all this up. Be spontaneous but don't jump off a cliff without looking first.
If people are NOT on a spiritual path or on an inner journey, there may be much frustration and even violence at this time as it is 4 squares, so there is a lot of stress that can be channeled into something good, or explode. Don't let your temper get the better of you now and walk away from something that looks volatile.
People may push your buttons, with meaningful and heartfelt words of love, or wound you deeply with their blunt honesty, or intense anger. All this emotional energy is in push pull mode. It's a time of epiphanies. It's a time when events feel fated. It's a time for spiritual awakenings. It's magical, yet quirky. But Saturn is here too, trining the Moon, giving you the ability to manifest something real or for dreams to be fulfilled.
Be a good, kind person. Love people and yourself. Accept that the Universe really does have your back, even when you don't feel it. We are all headed in a new direction and this is going to be a pivot point to getting us there. The journey truly begins.
Jupiter is in Scorpio, ruled by Pluto. So is Venus, which went retrograde on the 5th. Venus is love, she reminds us about the importance of Love, esp. the love of the Universe and all the gifts we have been given with life itself. She is by all rights the most important planet because she is the bridge between us and the spiritual, she reminds us where we came from and the inherent love in that realm. But like any planet, there is duality, and when Venus goes retrograde, the darker side of Venus emerges. Retrograde Venus in any sign is the dark side of relationships. In Scorpio it's dark and mysterious. Scorpio rules the Underworld, darkness, maggots and worms, secrets, and a strong, sometimes obsessive emotional vibe. Old lovers could return and hot and heavy reunions; Or you could look at your partner, who you've been thinking about leaving, and find the courage to do in a flash; Or a seemingly good relationship starts to sour. Just take everything slow and make decisions later, when your head/heart clears. It's also a time to look at your finances carefully and make changes where needed. Don't invest now, its not a good time.
Venus in Scorpio wants connection, but retrograde makes the need overwhelming, and complicated. It's time to soul search. Look within. Find your dark side and build bridges with same. What do you value about you, your friends, your love, your life? It's time to be real, get real. The energy lasts until Nov 16th - so you have about 6 weeks to learn to love yourself, forgive yourself, accept that you are not perfect (what is perfect anyhow, does Wall Street or TV define that for you - if so wake up to the propaganda designed to make you feel bad?) Be yourself, love yourself, break some "need to be broken" rules, and know that the dark cannot live without the light, and visa versa.
On Nov 1, Venus moves back into Libra but is still retrograde, taking away the darkness of Scorpio and the lightness of Libra rules her now. Venus is yet again the loving lady which will be fully realized on Nov 16th. It will also be more harmonious in the world in general, which bodes well for the Nov election, where hearts open again and are more loving and kind. Note that the Kavanaugh's approval happened during retrograde Venus. Things that happen during retrogrades are never lasting and when she goes direct, he might well find justice coming for him, but it could take up to two years to clinch the reckoning, when Venus goes retrograde again as she does every two years. Note that Oct 20th is the peak of the retrograde which can bring great upheaval and uncertainty - our insecurities on steroids. it is also a sign of a reckoning of the "ruler" or our national leaders.
Venus is in harmony with Neptune, creating a deeper mystical process before us. Our emotions are intense, deep, mysterious. Sherlock Holmes is the archetypal Scorpio. Dig deep for truth and learn from it. And Mars in Aquarius is looking forward, utilizing Uranus's energy of the new and fresh. Aquarius is Square to Venus, pushing the change thing harder. More energy for us to change. If you are changing your life, you are on the right path. As we change, so does the energy of our planet. And stress is not really bad, we just hate it when it happens. But as humans we only seem to find the courage to change when we are stressed.
So embrace the adventure, don't hate the change, it's always something better. Nearly every client I have coming my way these days is considering life altering changes. They are anxious, and I point out that if you are reinventing yourself, you are on the right path. We HAVE to change, so jump on board and embrace the new.
The New Moon is in Libra. Libra is a time of balance and gentleness. This is normally restart time, new beginnings, but not when Venus is retrograde. Venus and the moon rule emotions. Our emotions are going to be a little twisted, we are evaluating relationships and deciding if they serve us or are destined to end. It's also a time to look at your financial situation and make better choices and plans. Plan, but put it into motion when Venus is direct, don't forget she also rules money.
Mercury also goes into Scorpio on the 9th, which goes retrograde Nov 17th-Dec 7th. Oye what is a person to do!! Lots of inner work, delays, confusion. Forward progress will be hard to come by. Stay focused as much as you can, by looking within and getting to know yourself. On the 16-17 Mercury is conjunct Venus, a normally very positive aspect. Because of the retrograde Venus in Scorpio, finding bits and pieces of a puzzle may occur, but the whole truth of it may not happen until the Nov 16th when Venus goes direct. It is a great time for research, something Scorpio just adores.
So while the Libra month is usually filled with light hearted things, this month is going to be about going within, finding your truth, connecting to spirit and turning your life around in some way.
Next month the big deal is Jupiter moving home to Sagittarius, the sign of spirituality, higher learning and global perspectives. This happens Nov 9th and heralds a year of intelligence and spiritual connection and bodes well with Saturn and Pluto who are cleaning up the mess, while Jupiter will fill our hearts with the bigger picture and a stronger connection to our roots or link to God. It brings much light to the darkness, and should help us start to make changes and heal. This happens two days after the election and I think bodes well for good changes.
I hope you take the time for your self discovery this month, your will very happy with the results if you do. Best wishes for a great month. Much Love, Yvonne
I have to add it here while I remember. There is a show on the Discovery Channel called "Don't Blink" five 7 minute episodes. It's truly worth checking out. You can go online too. It's really worth it.

It is a little miracle each time I discover an egg in the nesting box.
...and I pause to give thanks to God for His provision and thanks for the hen who labored to lay it.
Thank you Bo Peep for all your hard work and effort!
Huge kohlrabi!
Truly huge! (Same kohlrabi that is pictured above)
I've still got several more this size in the garden...
Sliced kohlrabi makes a tasty hamburger bun, especially when you've got your own pickles too. (Had a little smoked goat cheese in there too.)
Sussy is such a busy "bug hunting" girl.
Under the black raspberries is her favorite spot right now.

Good thing Sussy is such a good digger...
Girls all nestled down in their dirt bath holes for a cool afternoon siesta!

"Self-love is an energy, one that we use to know ourselves, heal ourselves, and accept all that is within us. This inward movement transforms our being, dramatically enhancing our awareness of who we are, our understanding of the universe, and our capabilities as an individual — the most beautiful part of this process is that our new sense of compassion towards ourselves does not end with us, it blossoms and flows outward into the lives of others, and ultimately has the capacity, if consistently cultivated, to encompass all beings," says best-selling author and speaker Yung Pueblo.
Join meditation teacher Sah D'Simone and Yung Pueblo as they explore the popular topic of self-love and how this personal movement can lead us into unconditional love for ourselves and all beings

Mississippi Literacy-Based Promotion Initiative
The Office of Elementary Education and Reading is responsible for supporting and training K-3rd grade teachers, curriculum specialists and other educators by providing research-based instructional strategies on literacy and guidance on the implementation of the Literacy-Based Promotion Act. Passed during the 2013 legislative session, the Literacy-Based Promotion Act (LBPA) places an emphasis on grade-level reading skills, particularly as students' progress through grades K-3. Beginning in the 2014-2015 school year, a student scoring at the lowest achievement level in reading on the established state-wide assessment for 3rd grade will not be promoted to 4th grade unless the student qualifies for a good cause exemption.
The LBPA was amended in 2016 and includes changes such as an Individual Reading Plan (IRP) and increased expectations for 3rd grade students beginning in 2018-2019.
Questions may be directed to Dr. Tenette Smith, Bureau Director for the Office of Elementary Education and Reading, at email@example.com or 601-359-2586.

Life has been a complete rollercoaster for us this year & over the past couple of months I've come to realise that I've changed… a lot.
In a good way or a bad way?
Well, let's look at the negatives. Since I last wrote a blog post, we miscarried our miracle baby at 10 weeks & since then I can only describe myself as living life with a broken heart. This has taken its toll on my marriage, my social life & my job… oh, & not to mention my health!
But gliding past the negatives, I do have the ability to find the positives…
We actually made a baby. That is our big positive. Our dream came true & I will forever be grateful for that. Also, with the time I've had off work it's given me a moment to realise how my job has evolved into something I no longer love.
So, out of this I have found the ability to put myself first. I mean I always thought I did, but I didn't… in reality, I didn't, but I can only see that now. Things need to change…
Welcome to Wellness Wednesday, my day off during the week where I get to put myself first. Of course it doesn't always work out that way, I end up doing housework & babysitting, but I now feel I have the confidence to say NO if I want to. Don't get me wrong, I love a clean house & I get a lot of enjoyment from spending time with children, but every now & again I need to just be me & that is 100% ok.

Thinking of dying my hair blonde probably wayyy in the future :P
So these were the questions I was wondering....
1. Will bleaching all of your hair damage it pretty bad?
2. Any products to use so it doesn't get damaged?
3. Does blonde hair look good with dark(brownish/black) eyebrows?
4. Will blonde hair look better with a dark tan?
5. If you dont like it, will dying it back another color damage your hair even more? (Unless there's a product you can use?)
I'll really appreciate the answers! :D

It was a day of digital exploration for the children of Year 5, who took part in a range of exciting high-tech activities as part of the Stocksbridge Digifest. The children began with a morning of coding robots and creating music through Sonic-Pi, followed by an afternoon of coding sprites on Hopscotch and presenting the news using green-screen technology. We would all like to say a huge thank you to the people who made today possible - the team from Sheffield CLC, the Year 8 Digital Ambassadors and Mr Brian from Stocksbridge High School.

After successfully planning a few trips for myself and others, and years of contemplating getting into the travel business, I took the leap and joined Go Travel in the winter of 2017.
I live in North East Saskatchewan, with my husband and 2 sons. We started our family young, so we didn't do a lot of traveling in our early years, so we have some catching up to do, but our bucket list is growing! We have been on vacations to South Dakota, Orlando (SeaWorld, Aquatica, Discovery Cove
and Busch Gardens), Las Vegas and most recently our first All Inclusive trip to Mexico. But our most memorable trip was to Disney World, where we also set sail to the Bahamas on a Disney Dream Cruise. We had SO much fun!
I have learned so much in this short time with Go Travel, and am confident that my continued love of research, online shopping and traveling will benefit you! I can't wait to see where this new venture takes me and YOU!
I love seeing the memories that are made together when traveling, for both myself and my clients. Our world is so big, with so much to see and do. And SO many memories to be made. Let me help make your dreams into memories!
Just Go...Travel :)

ON TRAVELLING through Gandhi Peth in Chinchwad, one comes across the Ram Temple. Right opposite to the temple stands Chapekar Wada, the structure where once the three Chapekar brothers — Damodar, Balkrishna and Vasudeo Chapekar – resided.
For city residents, the brothers—revolutionaries who assassinated WC Rand, the British plague commissioner of Pune on June 22, 1897—are heroes and this is evident from the high footfall to the Chapekar Wada, which was converted into a museum over a decade ago. And now, once again bringing the spotlight on the trio, Chapekar Brothers, is set for release on September 16, chronicling the trio's lives, ideologies and the cause they fought for.
Mumbai-based Dhiraj Mishra, writer of the film, said "The first time I got to know about the brothers was through my grandmother. In 2013, after doing my homework, I began writing the story but by next year, I felt something was missing in it. That's when I decided to visit Pune." In Pune, Mishra met Girish Prabhune who is associated with the Chapekar Wada since last four decades. He also visited Tilak Wada and met the Tilaks who shared many Marathi books on the Chapekar Brothers.
At Yerawada Jail, he found the autobiographies of the trio, which they had written when they were prisoned at the Yerawada Jail. Shot 25 kms away from Pune in Amreshwar, the film is directed by Devender Kumar Pandey, produced by Ghanshyam Patel and stars Abhijit Bhagat, Sanjeet Dhuri and Manoj Bhatt in lead roles.
"After reading books given by the Tilaks and the autobiographies, I felt I came to know the three brothers more closely," said Mishra. The film is set in 1857, when the Britishers had taken the stand of not recruiting brahmins in their military force to avoid agitation. This had filled the young men with anger and frustration, and the Chapekar brothers were no exception. One day, the brothers visited Tilak Wada, when Tilak was busy addressing a crowd. They told him that they wished to talk to him for two minutes. To which, Tilak replied, 'Whatever you want to say, say it on this stage'," he said. The trio read out a poem in Marathi that depicted their anger towards the British government. After reading the poem, they asked Tilak 'Doesn't your blood boil by seeing all this and don't you want to do anything?'. Tilak replied, "You are also part of this country, why don't you do something."
Tilak's words moved the brothers who started Chapekar Club, which invited young men as members to fight British atrocities. Within three months, the club attracted 600 members. The men would gather on an open ground behind Parvati and train in sword fighting, firing a pistor/gun, stick fights etc.
In 1896, Pune was hit by plague and by 1897, the epidemic spread further. A special plague committee was formed and Commissioner WC Rand was made in-charge. "The books say that Rand hated Indians and he and his men would torture Indians. Every family that had a plague patient, was asked to leave the house. People got so scared that even if a family member died, they would keep the dead body at home for days. The records say that during this time, his men would forcefully enter houses. Women were raped by British Armymen; many women committed suicide. All this angered Chapekar brothers, who decided to murder Rand," said Mishra.
On June 22, 1897, Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee celebrations were underway in the Government House in Ganesh Khind. When Rand's carriage came out of the Government House at midnight, Damodar shot Rand at point-blank range. Another officer, Lt. Ayerst, was shot by Balkrishna. Damodar was arrested in October; he later died on the gallows on April 18, 1898. Vasudeo and Balkrishna were hanged on May 8 and May 12, 1899 respectively.
In 1972, Prabhune established Chapekar Samiti, which runs Gurukul School that follows traditional Indian system of teaching. "Every year, on their death anniversaries, a march is organised in Chinchwad in which hundreds of people participate," added Prabhune.

Bernabela : The women behind the beads
"I am now 36, haha, wauw.. I live here in Santiago and have three children, and soon I will be a grandmother. I married really young, so I had my first child when I was 17 years old. I have been part of the cooperative for more than 17 years, It was a total coincidence that I became part of the organization. I met the founder on the street and was part of the early beginning where we found women affected by the Civil War to support through basic food provision. This developed into the Elder Center that we have now, and really the whole aspect of beadwork started because we needed to find a way to support ourselves asides from fundraising. And I know all kinds of beadwork so I suggested this, and that is really how it started.I am so proud to share my beadwork with people from foreign countries because it is our special work here in Santiago. I am proud to fight for the rights of the artisans and be persistent when it comes good wages for the women who do beadwork - it is so sad how little they are paid in the streets, but here we pay both by the hour and by the product. And also, the money we make within the coop gives good salary to the women, but it also pays partly for the meals we hand out every monday, wednesday and friday in the Elder Center"
Bernabela is the woman on top of the productions of all beaded work. She makes the designs come to life, she controls the quality and she has the biggest portion of spirit for herself, her work and our collaboration. Bernabela and I speak and chat on Whatsapp a few times a week, and that is really how our entire production is managed. Nothing fancy there.

Good morning all. My new task/project is to create/find a way to host an online competition. The idea sounds very cool and easy, but its really a challenge when it comes down to the mechanics of things.
At first, I was convinced that I can build one from scratch, and I have confidence to believe so. But, given the time span and the conditions, I was required to understand and implement how the social sharing system works. This will require me to go in-depth into uncharted waters, well atleast in my terms that is.
So I began the daunting journey into finding the best plugin available on the internet to suit my needs. I came across a few and tested them but I didn't get what I was after. Then, when hope was almost gone, I stumbled upon a plugin which might just get me what I needed.
I began testing but could only do so much as time had already caught up. So I only setup the basic settings and left office, hoping to complete all the investigations by Sunday.
I went in on Sunday only to find to my dismay, that the office network was playing up. It was going on/off with a 10-20 seconds intervals. The worst part of it was, I didn't bring my company issued dongle. What a life.
So I had to call in support from our help-desk and it took them some good 12hours to sort the problem. It was a long day for everyone, I just hope today won't have any hustles.

To let your diet be a whole lot more healthy using a small relieve, modify your beef satellite dish two times a monday to fish and shellfish. The omega 3 unhealthy acids in fish positive aspect every last single bodily procedure, inclusive of: central nervous system task, flexibility of joint parts, cardiac perform, immune system function and human brain function. However, you need to stay away from specific fish and shellfish, for instance such as tuna, that are well-known to issues elevated numbers of mercury.
You may not understand that it takes food in order for your metabolism to work properly. This is why many strict and starvation diets don't work. You lose weight the first few days (which is water) and then it stops. You must have calories to lose weight! Calories are what makes your internal fat burning system work.
Consume fewer calories. This is the first of 10 commandments to stress its importance. diet plans make up 75% of a successful slim plan. Use deductive calorie intake. For first few weeks, eat 400 fewer calories. When you lose 2 pounds, subtract 200 calories. When you lose 3 or more pounds, maintain your calorie intake.
Obesity in america is at an all-time high. One of out of every three Americans is obese, a number that has doubled in just ten years. This epidemic is also growing out of control in other countries around the globe.
You need to establish exercise routines to lose weight quickly, so find the one you love to start. Otherwise, it is easy to give up. If you have no idea about it you can consult a certified gym trainer to start a plan.
6) Do not decrease your caloric intake far below what is required of your BMR, or you risk forcing your body into starvation mode. "Do not under-eat by too much. If you consistently eat way too little, your body will start to think it's in a starvation state and for the initial period, weight loss and fat loss may become harder than anticipated. After a while of severe underfeeding, instead of preferentially burning fat for energy, your hard-earned muscle will be burned for energy" (source: Fitness Rx; February 2004; page 93). So if healthy weight loss is your goal, and you only want to burn fat while you preserve your valuable muscle, then take great care to not starve yourself.
It is a well known worldwide fact that Obesity and weight gain has grown to enormous proportion. We must get this problem under control. Children, Teens, and Adults of all ages face this ugly problem.
Here are a few ways to solve this problem: a) Drink a large (8 or 12 oz.) glass of water 20 minutes before each meal. b) Physically put your fork down between each bite. c) Enjoy your family. Have a discussion that stretches out the length of the meal. d) Serve the meal in courses, starting with a large salad.
