Patrick Larkin: Instructional Technology Top 6
Patrick Larkin (@PatrickMLarkin on Twitter) has been a classroom educator, building principal, district leader, and always an outspoken advocate for students, teachers, instructional technology, and education change. Today, Larkin is the Assistant Superintendent for Learning in Burlington Public Schools, Burlington, Massachusetts, and blogs regularly at www.patrickmlarkin.com. Burlington is a 1:1 school district, where every student in the district has an iPad. Patrick relies on his soft-spoken common sense messages to move the education and education technology meter forward.
Patrick Larkin learns each day, and often by walking into classes observing his teachers and students in action. When you talk with Larkin, you feel comfortable in the knowledge that using technology, in his district, offers educators the ability to do more with things they already do well. Patrick Larkin is also a noted presenter, who has traveled throughout the United States, as well as the United Kingdom sharing his thoughts at schools, districts, and conferences. We are so pleased to present our interview with Patrick Larkin as a sample of his common sense leadership wisdom.
Patrick Larkin's Instructional Technology Top 6: In his own words.
Technology Integration
The number one problem with trying to integrate technology is the need for a mindset change. We really can't do things the way we've always done them, and just adding technology to the mix isn't the silver bullet either. Really what we're looking for with technology resources is differentiating the way students access material. We're also looking for ways students can learn in more self-paced ways. You can't really look at it as just throwing the technology in, and because you've done that, things will change for the better. We need to change the way we instruct all students completely, wherever they are on the learning continuum.
Professional Development
The next problem began a few years ago with 1:1, and iPad initiatives. Districts would throw large sums of money at technology without enough funding towards training and professional development. I've cautioned district leaders to make sure that funding is there—in their starting budgets. I'd even encourage a cut back on the amount of devices being purchased to ensure a larger portion goes to professional development.
In many cases educators, who don't have all the technology and resources in their classrooms are chomping at the bits, when they discover, through professional development, how these new tools can be used. Success is when you hear educators ask, "When are we going to get this or that?" in reference to a particular new device, or solution, they've heard about, or seen, during a workshop, or presentation. That certainly beats hearing, "No one asked me if I wanted this or that." Unfortunately, we tend to hear that question from educators, who have gotten the technology, or solutions, but have no clue how to use what they've gotten. Professional development plays a huge, and necessary part in the successful instructional technology program.
We need to do a better job of informing our stakeholders, upfront, especially parents, because a lot of this is so foreign to them. Just as we do with our educators, we need to show parents our vision. Just saying all of our students will have iPads, or whatever solution, isn't enough. We need to bring parents in, and show them how devices and solutions are going to be used in the classroom. We need to let parents use the devices, and try the solutions, and have them become comfortable with them, too. Addressing any disconnect between parents and technology is a good thing. Parents may be concerned about things we hadn't thought, like worry that these tools are just more screen time for their kids. We need to share that for us it is more about the quality of the exercise and student participation—with or without a device. It is about the quality of the lessons, and the depth of learning teachers and students can achieve.
Digital Platform
I think that we need to be careful not to be too platform specific. If possible, it is better to remain flexible, and use as many resources as possible, whether it's an iPad, or a Chromebook, we want our students to be able to access their resources, and work no matter the device in front of them. As an iPad district, we have strived not to become app dependent, either, so we make sure to use open resources that are accessible across devices. That may sound like a contradiction, but from day 1, when we said iPads would be our district device, we had our eyes wide open. Our thinking was that five years down the road it might not be the iPad. We also thought, depending on wherever our students went, we wanted them to be able to do their work on any device. We are big on students accessing open resources on phones, iPads, Chromebooks, or a home computer. Our students can use many devices to do their work, and access the right resources necessary to do that work.
Tech Tools and Resources Mandates
For us, at Burlington, we've tried not to have our entire staff dive into any, one, particular tool. We don't mandate compliance for all of the teaching and learning resources. We do encourage the use of Google Apps. Most of our teachers use polling tools, and Google forms to get quick responses and feedback from students. Teachers are using and testing a variety of things for formative assessments during classes. We learn more by trying different things. Teachers use a variety of tools to get feedback—and then there are times when hands raised, or thumbs up—half way—or thumbs down—is enough to see if students are still on track. We're tying to be flexible, mix it up, and not do the same thing every day. The nice thing about technology is that it broadens your toolbox, so we're trying to take advantage of that.
Feedback for Learning
People think that classroom management has changed a lot because of technology, and it has certainly opened the door for a few more issues we didn't see before. Aside from that, whether it's personally texted, or verbal responses, with technology, it is still all about the expectations. Educators can control that, and we can expect to see that feedback in the classroom, and as part of each lesson. Students need to know it is an expectation, and they can rely on it happening every class and each day.
Feedback can't be optional for teachers or students. They need to know the expectations going in, and that there will be feedback in both directions, too. You can call that part of good classroom management, if you want to, but it's good teaching to be clear on expectations. You can rely on consistent feedback as being part of good classroom practices. That hasn't changed much, we were doing "turn and talks" with kids before technology. Engaging students with technology is a little different—we just have to be a bit clearer about the expectations of responses for feedback, when we use technology in the classroom.

Hi, I've noticed I don't have many hobbies.. I live in a small town, not too much to do here. What are somethings I can do to prevent boredom? Just to keep me occupied, maybe something to keep my mind sharp. :)

What are your current interests? What makes you happy? Do you enjoy working with your hands? Do you enjoy thinking? Do you enjoy visualizing things? Do you have good reflexes? Are you athletic?
These questions will help you discover your hobby. Or maybe your hobby is trying to find a hobby. Whatever floats your boat.10|10|0
I have little interests unfortunately, but I do play games and read often. I don't work with my hands too often, besides when I'm helping a co-worker at work where most of my labor-intensive work comes from. Yes, I like to think.. I'm somewhat of a deep thinker. Hmm, not that I can recall. Reflexes I'm not exactly sure, I've never really been involved with sports so it's quite hard to say as to if I am or not. Athletic no, but I am naturally skinny.
Ah, well I appreciate the help. :)
@sublime45 thinking in it of itself is a hobby. So just sit there and think. And maybe that will be your hobby or maybe another hobby can come out of that.

Imported stayer Greatwood started his autumn campaign with a dominant victory in a barrier trial over 1200 metres at Royal Randwick this morning.
Greatwood was making his first public appearance since he failed to fire in the Group 1 Australian Cup (2000m) at Flemington on March 14 and he showed a surprising amount of early speed to open up a big gap over Team Snowden-trained Devere in the early stages of the barrier trial.
The Group 3 winner was never fully tested throughout the barrier trial, but he couldn't to extend his lead and he crossed the line over 11 lengths in front of Ron Quinton-trained Nisroc and stablemate Woodbine.
Greatwood started his racing career under the care of Luca Cumani in Europe and he was purchased by Waterhouse after he finished second behind Nichols Canyon in the Listed Noel Murless Stakes (2816m) at Royal Ascot on October 4.
He made his Australian racing debut with a solid third behind Entirely Platinum in the Canterbury Hurlstone RSL Handicap (1400m) at Rosehill Gardens on August 16 last year and he took out the Listed Premier's Cup (1800m) at the same venue on August 30 before he was sent to the spelling paddock after he failed to fire in the Group 3 Kingston Town Stakes (2000m) on September 13.
Greatwood returned to winning form with a narrow victory in the Listed Parramatta Cup (1900m) at Rosehill Gardens on February 21, but he was sent back to the spelling paddock following his tough run in the Australian Cup.
Trainer Gai Waterhouse is yet to confirm the exact path that Greatwood will follow during the 2015 Spring Racing Carnival, but the Manduro gelding could be set for the Group 1 The Metropolitan (2400m) at Royal Randwick on October 3 before potentially heading to Melbourne for the Group 1 Caulfield Cup (2400m) on October 17 and the Group 1 Melbourne Cup (3200m) at Flemington on November 3.
Nisroc was making his first appearance at the races since he finished sixth behind Mardi in the Schweppes Handicap (1400m) at Rosehill Gardens on January 31 and he hit the line fairly to finish second, while Woodbine was never fully tested and was still able to make up a fair bit of ground late.
Woodbine was gelded at the end of his autumn campaign after he finished at the tail of the field in the Group 3 Newcastle Newmarket Handicap (1400m) on March 18.
Greatwood is currently available at 2015 Melbourne Cup odds of $67 with Ladbrokes and is at a quote of $101 to win the Caulfield Cup.

Is a new 'Drake and Josh' movie happening? Last week, former Nickelodeon star Drake Bell posted a pic of himself and co-star Josh Peck. Find out what he said about it during his Reddit AMA.
Last week, Drake Bell tweeted a pic of himself and Drake & Josh co-star Josh Peck--and the internet went a little crazy over their reunion and the possibility of another movie.
Drake wrote: "We are BACK!!! Who is ready for the new movie?!!! #drake&josh #drakeandjosh"
We posted the pic on Facebook and readers were all on board with the reunion movie...but is it really happening?
Luckily, Drake did a Reddit AMA session last week and was asked that very question.
While nothing is confirmed yet (bummer), Drake did say that something is in the works.
During the Reddit AMA session, he was asked: "Drake, please tell me the new Drake and Josh movie is not a joke. Is there really going to be a new movie? If so, what can you say about it? I loved that show and a new movie would be awesome."
He responded: "I would LOVE to make this new movie with Josh we just need you guys to go on all the social media outlets and make it blow up!!"
When asked, "So it isn't being made as of now?," he said, "being written."
So, yeah, it's not a done deal, but Drake has been posting pics of himself and Josh, plus they reunited for dinner last week--so maybe he's trying to get people buzzing about a Drake & Josh movie.
Would you tune in for another round of Drake & Josh? We'd kind of love to catch up with these guys (and Megan too!).

IMF makes commodity price warning
International Monetary Fund experts are visiting Australia with a warning about commodity prices.
Source: Lateline Business | Duration: 3min 1sec
Topics: economic-trends, markets, trade, australia
MAXINE MCKEW: Experts from the International Monetary Fund are visiting Australia with a warning: Don't assume that buoyant commodity prices will last. Economics correspondent, Stephen Long, reports.
STEPHEN LONG: Australia's riding on the miners' back, but in the next few years it may be a rocky ride. With production growing to meet demand, the International Monetary Fund is tipping sharp falls in commodity prices. I spoke to the IMF's head of research, Tim Callen in Sydney today.
TIM CALLEN: Over the next five years we could see quite a substantial decline in aluminium and copper prices, which we particularly looked at. However, even with that decline, they would still remain at higher levels than they were before the current run up.
STEPHEN LONG: This must raise worries about Australia's growth, given our reliance on commodity experts?
TIM CALLEN: I think there are two things to consider here. First of all, clearly there is a lot of investment going on into the commodities sector, so there is going to be an increase in the volume of exports of these metals, as well, at the same time, prices are declining.
STEPHEN LONG: You see a strong outlook for economic growth, but quite a few risks as well?
TIM CALLEN: We are expecting global growth of 5.1 per cent this year, then slowing slightly to 4.9 per cent next year. The basis for this forecast is that we're still seeing data generally, at the global level, coming in pretty strongly. We expect that, largely, that will continue going forward. But we do see some risks to the outlook, and particularly the US housing market is a concern.
STEPHEN LONG: How much of a risk do you see from the US housing market downturn?
TIM CALLEN: Well we could certainly imagine a scenario of house prices slowing more sharply than we have in our central forecast, with US growth maybe being one percentage point lower than we have in our forecast next year. We are currently expecting 2.9 per cent growth next year.
STEPHEN LONG: What would that mean for the rest of the world?
TIM CALLEN: Well we'd put the impact of that sort of slowing on the rest of the world, it probably would reduce growth there by about a 0.25 to 0.5 of a percentage point.
STEPHEN LONG: So overall plus five per cent growth. But you put, in your forecast, a one in six prospect that that could be significantly lower, 3.75 per cent or below. If I was a betting man, betting on the horses, I might see that as worth a punt. How usual is it to have that much downside risk?
TIM CALLEN: We certainly do see the downside risk, I think, as being slightly more skewed than we would normally because, basically, we've had four years of very strong global growth. The output gap, at the global level, is now closing in to where the global economy is operating, near full capacity. In that situation it's certainly true that a number of risks are out there. If we get a combination of those risks in particular, we could see a considerable downside impact, in our view.
STEPHEN LONG: The risks include a revival of protectionism as trade talks falter, and higher than expected US interest rates as America struggles to cope with slowing growth and rising inflation. Stephen Long, Lateline.

Hat-trick of pole positions for Lewis Hamilton
Lewis Hamilton stormed to his third successive pole position of the season in qualifying for the Chinese Grand Prix, edging team-mate Nico Rosberg in a dominant front-row lock out for Mercedes
Lewis Hamilton stormed to his third successive pole position of the season in qualifying for the Chinese Grand Prix, edging team-mate Nico Rosberg in a dominant front-row lock out for Mercedes.
Hamilton, unbeaten in qualifying so far this season, lapped the 5.451 kilometer-long Shanghai International Circuit in one minute, 35.782 seconds to take his 41st career pole just four-hundredths of a second clear of Rosberg much to the German's frustration.
Lewis Hamilton
"Yeah, I think China's continuing to be generally a good circuit for me, and a very, very positive vibe here," said Hamilton, who won here last year and heads into today's race hunting for a record-extending fourth victory at the Shanghai International Circuit.
"The car's handling fantastically well this weekend, a lot better, in terms of the whole weekend, compared to how it was in Malaysia," he added.
Sebastian Vettel kept Ferrari in the hunt by taking third. Vettel and Ferrari, benefitting from a bold strategy gamble and searing temperatures, had dealt the dominant Mercedes team a shock defeat in the last race in Malaysia.
But while the Italian marque continued to lead the chasing pack, they were unable to match Mercedes' formidable one-lap pace in the cooler conditions in China with Vettel's best nearly a second off Hamilton's benchmark.
"Obviously these guys were a bit quicker than we expected to be honest, but yeah, I think P3 was our maximum today," Vettel said.
"Tomorrow we should be a bit closer. How close? We will find out," the German on the cusp of equaling Ayrton Senna's haul of 41 wins said.
Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas -- seeking to re-establish their Williams team as Mercedes' closest challengers after being leapfrogged by Ferrari -- split the two scarlet cars slotting in into fourth and fifth.
Kimi Raikkonen could only manage sixth despite showing great promise throughout practice.
Red Bull, who had looked on course to be the third-best team after the final practice session, appeared to have dropped back with Daniel Ricciardo only seventh. His team-mate Daniil Kvyat was 12th, failing to make it through to the top ten.
McLaren remained mired near the back of the field after an encouraging start to their weekend.
Both Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso had hoped to make it into the second part of qualifying but in the end the pair missed the cut by just over two tenths of a second. They will start 17th and 18th, respectively, ahead only of the back-marking Manor Marussia cars.
Hamilton, who won the season-opening Australian Grand Prix, currently leads the championship standings by three points from Vettel. Rosberg lies third, a further seven points adrift.

The "Jim-E" Midge
For those that are interested;
Here is a link to (Southern Trout Magazine) displaying one of my favorite midges on the Clinch River.
It is called the "Jim-E" midge and I named it after my father. Well; the technique of juxtaposing BR wire next to X-Small wire and leaving a small gap of thread. Plus; adding the wing buds/gills. Another excellent material for the gills is Grey Neer Hair.
I hope you enjoy!
Sorry for the photos not being as detailed. I have built a shadow box and I hope it will help with taking better macro shots.

Guus Hiddink has suggested that the lackluster form of some Chelsea FC's top stars could be down to the imminent arrival of the Euro 2016 tournament.
Root of the problem
Chelsea suffered a second consecutive league defeat last Saturday when a hat-trick from Sergio Aguero saw Manchester City brush aside the Dutchman's side 3-0.
This was the first time that Hiddink had tasted defeat at Stamford Bridge during his two spells at the club.
When asked if some of the players were saving themselves for the summer tournament in France, Hiddink told the Daily Mirror that it was "partly true" but he couldn't blame the players for having a "lack of attitude."
He continued saying some of the players "might think that" when there is "nothing at stake" and there is a "lack of the ultimate work" from some players.
Lack of pride
Hiddink wasn't the only one left disappointed by the teams performance as defender Gary Cahill was critical of his teammates as they suffered their worst home defeat in five-and-a-half years.
After the game, Cahill told Sky Sports that the side should have "more pride" in themselves and "give a performance" or at "least run around" and to get "close to people".
He continued saying the side have "nothing to play for" but said you have to "run around" and that's what he thought the side "lacked against Manuel Pellegrini's side.
No desire
Cahill's rant didn't stop there as went on to question the desire of his fellow players.
He told chelseafc.com that the defeat was "unbelievably disappointing" and thought they got they deserved".
He continued saying that they were "rubbish" and "lacked the desire" to get a result and admitted that Chelsea can play "a hell of a lot better than that".
Chelsea will visit AFC Bournemouth at Dean Court on Saturday, April 23 with kick-off at 3pm BST.

The cargo volume handled remains a key performance indicator for ports. While also other indicators related to logistics performance, sustainability, innovation and economic impact are gaining ground, it remains relevant to observe how cargo volumes have evolved over time. The table shows the top 15 container ports in the European Union in 2016 based on container throughput expressed in TEU. It also includes container growth figures compared to 2015 and pre-crisis year 2007. The listed ports all handle more than 1.5 million TEU.
What do the figures reveal?
Top 15: y-o-y increase in container traffic of 2.1% in 2016 (-1.6% in 2015)
While in 2015 the top 15 ports still saw a small traffic decline of 1.6% compared to 2014, this time we have a modest growth of 2.1%. Barcelona, Sines, Piraeus, Algeciras and Antwerp record the highest y-o-y growth figures, while Felixstowe, Le Havre and Bremerhaven are the only ports with a traffic loss in 2016.
Top 15: 14.4% increase in container traffic between 2007 and 2016
The top 15 ports combined saw a rather unimpressive 14.4% increase in container traffic compared to pre-crisis year 2007. In nearly a decade, four of the 15 ports recorded container volumes in 2016 which still remain below the 2007 figures. Gioia Tauro and Barcelona are special cases combining a strong growth in 2016 with 2016 figures well below the 2007 container throughput.
2007-2016: South European ports with a substantial transhipment focus show strongest growth
Star growers during the 2007-2016 period are found in southern Europe: Sines (9 times more volume), Piraeus (+168%), Marxaxlokk, Valencia and Algeciras. It mostly concerns ports which heavily rely on sea-sea transhipment volumes. When it comes to ports with a much stronger gateway/hinterland orientation, Antwerp and Genoa are the strongest growers.
Piraeus and Sines most notable newcomers
Only few changes took place when it comes to the ports that made it to the top 15. Piraeus was not in the top 15 in 2007. In that year, Constantza ranked no. 15 (1.41 mio TEU) and Zeebrugge no. 11 (2.02 mio TEU). Sines joined the top 15 only in 2016 filling the spot previously occupied by Zeebrugge (1.56 mio TEU in 2015).

Ratings and Reviewsfor the Grip Tape Strips Water Activated 2 Inch x 9 Inch -13 Strips
sliding grips August 12, 2017
I've been having a problem with the normal solvent based tape while re-gripping.
Review by todd
Impressive.. August 9, 2013
First time for me, a clubmaker of 40+ years, to use water-activated. On the advice of a friend, I used a little more dish soap that advised...and it worked like a champ...even on build-ups. Gotta work quick, but clean up is a snap and solvents aren't good for you!!
Review by Rusty
I prefer water activated over solvent April 16, 2013
I have been using water activated tape for years. No more VOCs or smell. fill grip with water with the grip plugged on butt end. Wet tape and rub lightly with fingers. Wet tape again then pour out the grip water onto the tape. align the grip. Quickly start grip. Use a push pull action. Push on grip - pull on bottom of grip. Twist to get final aliignment. check length with ruler and adjust. Set aside. Do all of this slightly more quickly than with solvent.
Review by Bill
Works, but get it very wet January 15, 2013
As a first time club builder, after wetting the tape I immediately attempted to put the grip on. Big mistake. You really have to wet these thoroughly with soapy water and even work them a bit with your hands to loosen up the adhesive to allow the grip to slide on. I nearly ruined my first grip, getting it stuck halfway on. Once I figured out how they work, the rest of the grips went on without issue, and I would happily use this on any further clubs that I build or regrip.

Let's start with a brutal evaluation of being in Ketosis for over 2 months straight. I did not get enough sleep, I missed too many of my daily supplements and I only got two or less days of workouts in each week. Some weeks I did not get in a workout at all.
This last week I was not very concerned with staying in Ketosis after getting my blood test done. I cheated several days this week. Just eating 'NORMAL' I managed to go up 7 lbs on the scale in a week. Most fo this being water weight. It's good I'm not trying to actually lose body fat yet!
As of tomorrow I will be back in ketosis and I will be doing a CKD (Cyclical Ketogenic Diet). I find this to be the best long term method of eating based off of everything I've studied. It also seems to contain the best rate of long term success. On a CKD you 'Carb Up' about once a week for a period of time between 12 and 36 hours. This allows the opportunity for the depleted glycogen levels in your muscles to not just replenish but to supersaturate with energy. The flexibility also seems to allow a mental time of relaxation from even having to think about what you're eating.
When you come out fo ketosis and begin to reintroduce carbohydrates into the diet in larger amounts you will find that your body will need more water to begin to store the carbohydrates throughout the body. This causes you to put on water weight due to the "hydrate" need of carbohydrates! So when you ease up a little bit expect to quickly gain a few pounds. Don't worry about it because almost all of the water weight will be added to your muscles!

Conservation on the High Seas
Harmonizing International Regimes for the Sustainable Use of Living Resources
Simone Borg
Chapter 7: The conservation of living resources on the high seas: constituent elements for compliance and enforcement
Simone Borg
As we have seen in Chapters 3 and 5, states may disagree on the constituent parameters of sustainability on any issue involving the exploitation of natural resources, but state practice endorses 'sustainable use' as the rationale of the law in regulating the conservation of natural resources. Therefore, the qualification to the freedom of fishing entails that any conservation measures that flag states may take should be conducive to sustainable exploitation of marine living resources. As discussed in the previous chapter, both compliance and enforcement measures are essential for conservation regimes to achieve their objectives and to remain effective. The major acts that breach the obligation to conserve living resources on the high seas can be summed up as follows: fishing for protected species, exceeding fishing quotas, under-reporting of catches, using illegal fishing gear, fishing in marine protected areas, fishing in closed seasons, fishing without authorization or permits from the flag state. The major compliance and enforcement tools are directed to prevent, deter and eliminate such illicit practices that are often popularly termed as IUU fishing. Flag states, port states and coastal states and, insofar as authorized by its Parties, even RFMOs, have different roles and obligations in ecuring compliance and enforcement on the high seas. There are, however, some measures that are common and may be considered as the constituent elements for compliance and enforcement regimes pertaining to the conservation of high seas living resources.

Tras Gustav Karlsson Berg, a 35-year-old California resident, has been arrested by federal authorities and charged with threatening an as yet unnamed U.S. senator from California for an e-mail he allegedly sent last month in opposition to taking wolves off the Endangered Species List."I'm going to shoot you with a high-powered rifle and bomb your house with poison gas the way wolf hunters do if you don't do everything you can to oppose legislation that would eliminate Endangered Species Act protections for wolves across the country RIGHT FUCKING NOW!" Berg allegedly wrote.
The court filing was first reported by the San Francisco Chronicle, which writes that Berg was a convicted arsonist and sex offender. The e-mail, titled "Oppose the Anti-Wolf Continuing Resolution," was allegedly sent on Feb. 24, according to a complaint filed in U.S. District Court in San Francisco yesterday.
It isn't clear whether the letter was directed at Sen. Dianne Feinstein or Sen. Barbara Boxer, as neither senator was mentioned in the complaint.
Berg registered as a sex offender after he was convicted of kissing and sending letters and e-mails to a 13-year-old girl at a school where he had worked as a substitute teacher, the newspaper reported.

Part I, God and My Guilt
Pastor Gary Buchman
Emmitsburg Community Bible Church
(4/16) Healing for the Past, Peace for the Present, Hope for the Future
Introduction - Our Lord Jesus had been baptized by John and then disappeared for a while, having been led by the Holy Spirit into a desert region where He fasted and was tested by the devil. When that ordeal was over, He returned to Galilee where He began preaching in the elementary schools and eventually made His way home to Nazareth, (Begin with Luke
4:13-21, and re-read verse 18). "The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed;" To proclaim liberty and to set at liberty, the captive and the oppressed.
There are several things that hold us in bondage, whether we realize it or not. One is religion. Religion can be a prison of sorts. India is a good example. Hinduism and its karma and caste system is holding people in bondage. Religion can be heavy with expectations and things we must do or things we must believe. I even know of some who think that
they have to have exemplary faith and never allow a negative thought or word come across their minds or it will break God's ability to work bless them. Others fear they will lose their salvation if they say or do anything wrong. And these things place an incredible weight of bondage on people. I believe it was this bondage that our Lord addressed when He said, "Come unto me
all ye who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest." (Matt. 11:28-30). He called some hypocrites because of the religious bondage they place people under (Matt. 23).
Another, is living a life without purpose; that is, just going through the motions of life. Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die. We try to fill the void in our lives with pleasure, or something, but we don't feel any sense of purpose for our existence, like an inmate in jail. We get up, eat, work, exist, sleep, and repeat that everyday. To you
Jesus says, "Follow me, and I will make you to become fishers of men, I have a purpose for your life."
Third, the Power of Sin can hold us in bondage. That might be addictive behavior, like tobacco, alcohol, drugs, pornography, gambling, food addictions, shopping, etc. or intentional sins like lying, stealing, cheating, a rebellious spirit, etc. Young people especially, listen to me carefully; the things that we often think are marks of freedom are
really chains of bondage. I believe this is what our Lord was referring to when He said in John 8:34, 36, "Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave to sin….therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed."
Fourth, and Hand in Glove with the third, is the guilt of our sins. This could be known guilt or just the fact of guilt; either way, it keeps us in bondage and from enjoying a life of freedom that comes from being clean before God. Listen to David in Psalm 32 as he describes a time when he tried to hide his sins and describes the effects of guilt
(Psalm 32:1-5).
There is at least one more thing that holds us in bondage and that is un-forgiveness. Un-forgiveness is a prison that we bind ourselves in when we hold unto anger, hatred, a grudge, etc. and we seek revenge and refuse to forgive. Matthew 18:34-35, makes it clear that it is torture to be forgiven and yet be un-forgiving.
My goal for these next few weeks is to help you to experience the joy and peace of forgiveness. Forgiveness is the key to Healing your Past, Enjoying Peace in the Present, and having Hope for the Future. It is the key to being free. Look at these verses again (Luke 4:16-19) and remember Jesus came to give you liberty, to free you from the bondage of
the guilt of your past and the pain of your present.
I. A Definition of Forgiveness.
The word, Forgiveness, or Remission (KJV word) is a word that literally means, "To be loosed, to be set free, to let go, to no longer obligate to pay, or to cancel the debt." In the financial world it generally refers to releasing someone of a debt that they owe, and in effect saying, "You don't have to repay what you owe. The debt is cancelled. It is
forgiven," (cp. Jesus and Simon and the two men forgiven, it was a financial illustration, Luke 7, & Matt. 18:21ff.). In the moral or social world, it refers to not seeking revenge or wanting the injurious party to have to suffer for what they have done. It means not holding a grudge, or hoping for vengeance, or pursuing some type of personal justice for offenses or injuries
received. It means that I willingly give up my desire for the person to hurt or pay for what they have done. Do you understand this? But before we talk about how to do this, we must make sure that we begin at the beginning and first receive Forgiveness from God. All forgiveness is based on God's forgiveness (Eph. 4:32).
II. A Grievous Problem.
When our Lord Jesus taught us how to pray, he said to pray, "Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors." Our sins have placed us in God's debt and the debt must be paid. We have established many times over the last few months that all of us under heaven have a sin problem. Scriptures like Romans 3:9-23; 5:12; Eccl. 7:20 and others tell us, that
all of us have missed God's standard of perfection, we have all fallen short. We have failed the test. We are all guilty, whether we feel that guilt or not. We have all sinned. Some of our sins have been done in ignorance, some have been intentional, and some have been flagrant and rebellious. Let me remind you how much of a problem it is. Remember how much sin it took to
bring sin and death into the world? It wasn't much, was it? It was just one small act of disobedience. Now, remember that any wrong thought can be sinful (Matthew 5:22; 28); any wrong word or speech can be sinful (Matt. 12:36; 15:18-20); any wrong deed can be sinful (Exodus 20:1-17); and finally any thing that we know we should do but don't do is sin (James 4:17). How much do
you sin in your thoughts, words, deeds, and/or have neglected to do what you should have done? If we were to add them up from the time you started making conscious decisions how many would it be? Consider 3 a day x 365 x your age and try to imagine standing before any judge with that many charges against you. There is a case in Pa. where a former football coach has over 50
charges pending. How would I do with over 60,000? How would you fare?
III. Guilty by Nature
We were all born with a nature that is bent on sin. (Ephesians 2:1-3). Toddlers prove this.
IV. Guilty by Intent
We all made conscious decisions to do wrong, to be rebellious, to seek what we want, instead of what we should have done. By Intent or by ignorance we have all broken:
V. A Guilty Conscience
A. Excused Guilt - Some of you know the pain and grief of a guilty conscience. Some of you don't. Some of you have just have learned how to not think of the wrong that you have done especially if it got you what you wanted like; less taxes or a bigger refund; a good job; where you wanted to go on time; out of trouble with a parent, spouse, boss,
teacher, etc. Some don't feel guilt because they have sinned so often that their conscience is calloused. Still others have learned how to let someone or even themselves talk them in justifying or excusing their sins, or learning how to blame the sin on someone or something else so it really is not your fault. Adam blamed Eve; Eve blamed the serpent; and the serpent didn't
have a leg to stand on (Gen. 3:12-13). When Aaron gave into the people's requests and made the golden calf, he explained to his brother Moses, that all he did was put the gold in the fire and out jumped this calf (Ex. 32:24). It's not really my fault, its my genes, my environment, my poverty, my Twinkies, my parents, my circumstances, and anyone would do the same thing. So
and so does it all the time, and there is no law against it, and no one has the right to tell me what to do, after all I deserve it, or they deserved it and on and on we go with rationalization and excuses. In 1984 a jet crashed in the mountains in Spain. The black box recorded that moments before the crash, a computer synthesized voice from an automatic warning system
started saying in English, "Pull Up, Pull Up." However the pilot thought that it was malfunctioning and said, "Shut up, Gringo," and turned the warning system off just before the plane crashed into the mountains and everyone on board died. That's what we do when we make excuses for our sins; we try to turn our consciences off.
B. Felt Guilt - However, there are some, whose consciences are working fine. But the results are that there is felt guilt. You have been living with regrets, perhaps some shame. You see that your current condition is because you violated God's, Society's, your Family's, or your personal codes. Why did I ever do that? What was I thinking? Why didn't I
listen? Oh, if only I hadn't….or, Of Only I had. Listen to the results of one man's guilty conscience. (Ps. 38, Eugene Peterson, The Message)
Take a deep breath, GOD; calm down— don't be so hasty with your punishing rod.
Do you remember Edgar Allen Poe's short story The Tell Tale Heart? In 1998, I was the Chaplain in the Carroll County Detention Center and there was a guy in there who wouldn't talk to me except to say, that He could never be forgiven, God couldn't forgive him because of what he had done in Vietnam. What that was I can only imagine because he wouldn't
tell me. But whatever it was, it haunted him and affected his life and he was sure, regardless of what I said, that he was un-forgivable. Is that true? No.
VI. God and My Guilt
God hates your sins. He knows that it causes you harm, it harms your family, your society, and it is an affront to His holy nature. It separates you from Him (Isa. 59:2) and the end result of sin is death, ultimate separation from God in hell forever (Romans 6:23; Rev. 20:11-15). But from the beginning of history, God has made a way to have His sins
covered or atoned for. Do you remember where the first clothing came from? God killed a couple of animals and skinned them for Adam and Eve (Gen. 3:21). God did that for them. God came up with a substitute system of sacrificing innocent animals to die instead of people for people's sins. God did that. But He knew that the blood of animals can't take away sins (Heb. 10:1-4).
There is only one way to really provide forgiveness and still satisfy divine justice. A perfect person would have to die for sinners. He would have to be infinite in His being to count for everyone. Only one person met the qualifications; God the Son - Jesus. Hebrews 10 reminds us that He willingly came to exchange His life for ours so we could be forgiven. Understand, that
God was in Christ seeking to reconcile the world to Himself (2 Cor. 5:18-21). He didn't impute or charge our sins to our account; He charged them to His own account and paid for every thought, every word, every deed, and every neglected act we are guilty of when He died on that Old rugged cross. The wages of sin is death; the soul that sins must die, but God commended His
love towards us that while we were yet sinners Christ FOR US (Rom. 5:8). And, then He offers us a gift.
Blessed is the man to whom the LORD does not impute iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit.3 When I kept silent, my bones grew old
VII. God and Our Growth
How do we get this forgiveness, and experience this freedom?

The New Vaudeville Band was a British studio group, formed in 1966 by Geoff Stevens to the single written by him include Winchester Cathedral . The song was a big hit and ended up among other things in the United States and Great Britain on the first place. Stevens was also the producer of the plate.
The studio group consisted of several session musicians. The singer was probably John Carter of Ivy League [1], although there also been claimed that it was the singer John Smith [2] or Geoff Stevens itself[3]. There is hard to make out who the real singer was because the vocals through a megaphone was recorded.
The single is about the Winchester Cathedral. The music has the feel of dance bands from the 1920s and thirty. On 28 november 1966 in the United States The New Vaudeville Band received a gold record for the song.
By the great success of the single the band finally decided to set up Stevens. The consisted of drummer Henry Watford, guitarist Mick Wisher, trombonist Hugh Watt, bassist Neil Korner, "Shuggy" pianist Stan Heywood, singer and saxophonist Alan Small Bob ' Pops ' Kerr who came by the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, which at the time made the same kind of music. The group went touring and Stevens stayed home the songs for the group writing. In 1967 came the lp "Finchley Central" , with the single "Peek-A-Boo" which in February of that year the British top 40.
After two years would reduce the success of the group. Bob Kerr then formed his own group, Bob Kerr's Whoopee Band .

[Intro: Ariana Grande]
Where are you?
Ohhhhh-ohhh (hehehe)
The Divine Feminine, an album by Mac Miller
(The Divine Feminine, hehehe)
(The Divine Feminine, hehehe)
[Interlude: Mac Miller]
Am I supposed to? Okay
Love, love, love, love, love (sex)
Love, love, love, love, love, love, love (sex)
[Verse 1: Mac Miller]
This sun don't shine when I'm alone
I lose my mind and I lose control
I see your eyes look through my soul
Don't be surprised, this all I know
I felt the highs and they felt like you
See a love like mine is too good to be true
And you too divine to just be mine
You remind me of the color blue
Girl I'm so in love with you, yeah
Girl I'm so in love with you
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2: Mac Miller]
Well, baby
You were everything I ever wanted
Bought a wedding ring, it's in my pocket
Planned to ask the other day
Knew you'd run away, so I guess I just forgot it
Remember when you went away to college
Hours on the phone, we end up talkin'
Past, present, future, all the gossip, God damn
Puppy love ain't what it was, darlin'
Feelings that we have are so alarmin'
I can make you laugh, I can break the glass
If we made it last, it'd be a bargain
Mr. Charmin', that is my department
You was there before the fancy cars and
You was there when I was just a starvin' artist
When the car was havin' trouble startin'
Now we got our own apartment, same box for the mail
Same hamper for the laundry, the food in the fridge is stale
And this mornin' you cooked the eggs with the kale
I tried to hit it while you was gettin' dressed
You said "All you ever think about is sex"
I'm like, "Oh well, you know me so well
And if this will make you lay, I swear, I won't tell
And every time I call your phone, you better pick up your cell
I swear to God I'ma freak out if it go straight to voice mail"
Well, I'm the jealous type
But I swear that ass what Heaven's like
When I'm in that pussy, it's a better life
That's the only way I'm tryna end the night
That's my only chance, I better get it right
[Bridge: Mac Miller]
Take your time my baby
Cause I'm waitin' for you, for you
And I'ma make your mind go crazy
Cause I'm waitin' right here for you, for you
[Outro: Bilal]
You get closer with me run away
All I ever know is the color gray
Your loveliness bring me sunshine
I found an angel so divine
Heaven probably not the same without you
But now you're in my world
In my world, ahhhh-ahh
Ahhh-ahhhh, ahhh-ahhh

Pregnant Texas Girl Killed By Baby's Father, who is also her Step-Father!
This is the 4th or 5th such story I have seen over the last year or so. Illegals involved in some sort of sex related murder.
A 15-year-old teen who was pregnant for a 2nd time by her stepdad was allegedly murdered by him!
Illegal immigrant Armando Garcia-Ramires is accused of shooting Jennifer Delgado, his stepdaughter and mother of his unborn child, in her San Antonio apartment.
The man is also the teen's stepfather — and together have a 1-year-old son!
Garcia-Ramires had been living with Delgado after he separated from her mother.
According to local authorities, Garcia-Ramires told Delgado's mother he was the father of the boy and unborn child.
After he threatened to kill himself, she called 911.
Police found Garcia-Ramires near a creek with a gunshot wound to his mouth and rushed him to an area hospital.
They later went to the apartment and found Delgado dead from gunshot wounds to her head and chest! Her unborn baby officially died later at a hospital.
Garcia-Ramires is currently being held on two charges of capital murder in Bexar County jail in San Antonio. Source
Thanks Obama!
Breitbart – An illegal alien who allegedly twice raped his 15-year-old stepdaughter now stands accused of murdering the girl after Obama's Department of Justice refused to prosecute him on human smuggling charges. ICE officers were never able to deport the man despite a lengthy criminal history that includes charges of assault, burglary, and human smuggling. See the rest here

Wednesday, the septic system went in for the new garage and The Barn!
Once again, Trish helped make and package popcorn for the company Heart@Work. This has been a great partnership for us since once our kitchen is up and running, we'd like make popcorn here at camp! Here, Intern Amanda, is helping for the first time. For more info about Heart@Work go to http://heartatworkunlimited.com
Karol & Amanda stained the floor of The Game Room. This room is located next to the entry way meeting room off of The Barn. The Game Room will house games such as ping-pong, pool, and board games. It will be a place to gather to have fun, hang out, and build relationships.
MJ (in red & white) had his first Christmas concert with his preschool classmates at Crivitz Youth, Inc. MJ attends two days a week, learning many valuable skills. His favorite classroom job is to be The Weather Watcher, giving a report on the weather.
Thursday, Trish threw a birthday party for Chalsee at The Brunot House. Happy Birthday, Chalsee!
There has been lots of work in Tool Storage Room this past week! Here, Tony is putting up corrugated, metal paneling.
Tony and the guys designed and started building work stations. It has been very exciting to finally have a permanent tool storage room, especially considering it has had to move locations around camp many times. Nick Stonelake is very excited to see this come together as it has been his dream to oversee the tool storage room as his main role here at camp.
Chalsee and the guys have been busy sanding two church pews. When Trinity Assembly (where Pastor John & Tony pastored at year ago) removed their pews, a few remained and Tony was able to obtain them. One is now located in the entryway of the Brunot House and these two will be placed in The Barn.
Here, Jake and Chalsee are sanding drawers from an old filing cabinet that will be used for storing parts.
Marceaux and Richard have been spending many hours taping and plastering seems in The Garage. There is a lot more to be done, a lot of high ceiling walls that need to be plastered. If you have experience plastering, come help!
Friday, 10 men and girls and 2 Trucks (Camp Daniel Missionaries), helped our Intern, Amanda's, parents move from Plymouth to Sheboygan Falls. With all our experience moving summer camp to Lake Helen every summer, we made a great moving crew!
Pastor Tim has been putting together skits for The Able Church about the Christmas season. This skit here was used to explain that Christmas is not all about the lights, but about the birth of Jesus. Pastor Tim continues to find creative ways to communicate and teach lessons from the Bible in a way people with intellectual disabilities can understand and relate to.

A new princessing/defrumpi
(408 Posts)
ng/groomed challenge
So last year on 15th September I started a thread about a 100 day challenge to take us up to Christmas.
There are a few people who are interested in another try this year so this is a preliminary thread to see who's interested and people can gather any things they want. I'm sure most of us have a few face masks and things lying around.
This year I think we should include a defrumping element to the challenge which will focus more on clothes.
The grooming element is about putting the whole look together.
Am I making things too complicated??
The first link has the guidelines for princessing but there are no guidelines for defrumping and grooming.
I have a 13 day old DD so might not always get a chance to come on but will do my best to keep things up to date.
So are people in?
Had a pedicure and eyebrow wax and going for a run later am liking this already.
Christiane I think it would be a good compromise but def do the end stretches and warm up. Maybe fit in 5 mins of crunches and planks first thing and a few jumping jacks? And then go for it at weekend?
( new thread started but thought I'd reply here so you found it on Threads Im On)
All I've managed so far today is having breakfast - bran flakes with yogurt, raspberries and blueberries. Have also taken my iron tablet.
I am hobbling about like a 90 year old woman today after boot camp yesterday. I do love it but there's only about one day a week just now when I'm not aching. Think I might try having a massage to see if that helps.
I don't have funds to do much for another few weeks so I'm mostly planning. First thing will be to bin all greying, badly fitting underwear and get along to Bravissimo for a bit of a spree.
Going to go for a bath now and will body brush, deep condition hair, defuzz to within an inch of my life!
trucksanddinosaurs I've done ripped in 30 and shred on and off but it sounds like 6 week 6 pack could be the next thing for me. I am VERY pushed for time in the weekday evenings and mornings but do you think one circuit every evening would be effective or do you have to do two?
I could probably manage a full session at weekends
As its Sunday 1st September I have set up a new thread
Please ONLY post on the new thread.
I'd like to join please. I need to lose a stone (I've been trying to lose it since DS was born nearly four years ago). And I could also do with some serious defrumping. Will try to start tomorrow although we have friends over for drinks tomorrow evening. But it's still the weekend, right? So booze is allowed...?
Ok today hasn't been too brilliant but hey, last day before the big push!
1) teeth - flossed/mouthwash
2) full eve routine
Tomorrows objectives
1) protein drink for breakfast
2) PT session
1) properly blow dry and style hair
2) body moisturise/scrub
3) teeth - flossed/mouthwash
4) eve routine
5) face mask
6) overnight hair mask
stuff to order
1) vitamins
Think ill probably add a few new things everyday, think I'm more likely to stick to it that way. Good luck everyone!
Salt was iodised table/cooking salt.
6 week 6 pack is high intensity interval DVD with vast amounts of planks and sit up variations revved up with cardio; it's very fast and targets core strength and builds overall strength with body weight resistance, a dumbbell and burns fat because of the speed.
2 x one fifteen min circuit.
2 levels each done for 5 x week for 3 weeks.
Level one on YouTube.
I would say it is harder than level 3 shred but if you've just done whole shred you'd be in great place to do it next.
Fancy joining me? I started a thread in exercise section to log results...
What does 6week 6pack involve Trucks?
And....what sort of salt did you use to exfoliate?
Well I've had the day from hell with the children but in between tantrums and crying fits, I have bought some nice foundation by Clarins and found a set of Lonsdale hand weights in the charity shop for a tenner. So finally I can now shred with weights instead of jars of curry sauce. I tried tins but they're only 400g and the sauce 600g. Dd was a bit baffled by me waving the sauce around.
Am intrigued by the detoll?
I have
Done 6 week 6 pack work out day 2 ( finished Shred)
Swum and about to swim again
Used salt to exfoliate bum and thigh goosebumps!
Going out tonight in nice new jeans and heels
Had salad for lunch
Shaved legs and moisturised all over
Reached my goal weight and now resetting goal
I need to join back in with this. Is tomorrow the starting point? Have lemons and some vitamins, but I must get some hair dye and serum as Ive ran out. Will do UFC on the Xbox until I can get my laptop working again as I can't connect my phone to the TV to get you tube.
I need to find out when the college is back in to book hair and beauty appointments
and find the money to pay for all this
Can I join you? I lost half a stone last week by low carbing, I look almost human again and really should pay more attention to grooming.
Can't remember if I posted today, possibly not. Well I had my first trip out of the house on my own in 3 weeks today. I needed decent nursing bras as I had 2 from Debenhams which were rubbish. Got 4 in total from Mothercare (Debenhams and Mothercare are the only shops available).
As DD had fallen asleep after her morning feed I ran without having breakfast. And picked up cupcakes while I was out so had a Guinness & bailys cupcake for breakfast. Not the best. Haven't done well with water either today. Did exfoliate my face though and had an hours nap.
Can I join in
I did bootcamp this morning cycled there and back 4miles each way so that todays excercise.
Went shopping and brought new make up that I was running out of also picked up footner already had my feet in the socks let the peeling commence.
Eyebrows been threaded today not had them done in about 8 weeks. Defuzzed legs while in the bath moisturized all over.
yami please don't post any pictures!
Footner update (avoid if you are squeamish about feet):
It's been 48 hours since I wore the socks, and I am starting to see the effects. My feet actually look scarier, and the skin us starting to peel off in a couple of places. The best way I can describe the peeling is to say that it is like very bad sunburn, only without the redness, heat and pain. The peeling areas are very small at the moment, only a cm or so big. I suspect that it will really get going tomorrow.
Yami thanks for the gibson tuck recommendation...will have to practise a bit as my sweepy fringe doesn't want to be pinned back tonight and looks a bit odd just hanging ...but I will master it and then find something else. Think dd will like it too, she's always after me trying new stuff out on her hair.
I'd love to join in, if I may. I've read through the thread and you lot inspired me to do my first ever 30 day shred today (I'm seriously feeling it now). I've also done my nails and tried the hot oil method on my face. I feel a bit greasy.
I came out of an abusive relationship back in March. The first few months were all about settling into my new life with my DS. Life is so, so much better than it was, and now I'm ready to actually start spending some time looking after myself.
I'm naturally skinny, but have lost too much weight over the last couple of years - I want to beef up a bit and develop some muscles. Do you think the 30 day shred is actually right for me?
From tomorrow morning, I'm cutting out coffee. The plan is to eat breakfast instead. It's probably a wise idea to run on something other than caffeine until lunch. I'm going to try the lemon water too - DS is pretty full on first thing so I'm hoping it'll give me some zing... oh Christ, what am I letting myself in for?
Right - write!
Been seriously hungover today, so have done nothing. But I've eaten the last kit kat and having a curry tonight (last supper).
I'm going to use up stuff before buying new and I'm definitely not buying new clothes till I'm thinner!
I need to sort out my autumn winter wardrobe and I need to order some vitamins, but apart from that I'm ready for tomorrow!
I need to right a list or two!
The skinnies were a tenner shabby, they're not denim though, more a heavyweight jersey by the feel of them. & the jumpers look like a really fine knit. I spied a white jumper I liked too for a tenner...it had sparkly bits (like sparkle too ) ...I couldn't be arsed to try it on to see how short it was though. Some of the jumpers they had in seemed to be a cropped length & stop where the waist of trousers would start iyswim.
Last years boots were really nice, lace up ankle boots with a fur 'collar' bit around the top. (I don't know if it's called a collar but it'd make sense). Fancy some taller ones though this year. And must get my beautiful embroidered boots re-heeled too (don't wear them often but they are lovely just to look at)
I got a Bobble water bottle with a filter in, and have marked the sides with hourly intervals so I remember to drink enough water. 2 bottles of water, one big mug of hot water with lemon and 2 cups of herbal tea makes 2 litres.

I adore teenage boys and girls–specifically the two I have brought into this world and share genetic coding with. But when these teenagers invite their friends to spend the night, my intense parental delight morphs into intense parental fright.
I cannot count how many times I have had a gaggle of girls at my house for a weekend and the leftover results have been the usual scattered sleeping bags, towels and the heady, pervasive smell of nail polish after they've all gone home.
This last weekend, I have had a barrage of boys file through the house, and although I'm fairly sure there were only five or six teenagers in total, the result of their visit has been the depletion of all of my towels, all of my dishes, the food, bed linens, blankets, pillows, ice cubes, Q-tips (don't ask), Band-Aids, cough drops, room spray, batteries, matches, gasoline, chlorine, anything chemically created that is often labeled with a skull and crossbones, all of the electricity our family was allotted to use for the month, and acetaminophen. The last entry was entirely depleted by me in trying to manage the depletion of everything else.
After they vacated, the house was also left with a heady, pervasive smell … of dirty socks.
It's been a wholly different experience.
I rarely had to worry about the girls doing anything stupid or dangerous. I just had to make sure they would all leave as friends.
EVERYTHING the guys do is stupid and dangerous, and I just had to make sure they would all leave.
Leaving alive was also a primary concern.
Girls spend a lot of time in bathrooms and bedrooms prettying themselves up—and helping one another do it—all in the name of self-confidence boosting.
Guys spend a lot of time—no matter what room of my house they're in—tearing one another to shreds, all in the name of self-confidence bashing.
At least the girls have the snarky decency to bash one another behind their backs after they've all left.
Okay, that last statement might not be entirely true, because girls can whirl a barbed compliment and land it expertly in between the shoulder blades of any of their friends. And they can do it with the precision of a skilled marksman better than most hired guns trained in the fine art of assassination. It's perspective.
Ultimately, I might as well forget about getting any work done.
With the girls, it was usually," Come up and see how we've henna-ed one another with these flowery designs and geometric shapes. Except your daughter, who chose only to ink herself with math equations."
That would usually lead to a lot of girl talk and then baking of cookies.
With the fellas, the distractions were more like:
Where do you keep the superglue?
Can we have more towels? And maybe a few shovels?
How fast can an ambulance make it here?
No one ever asked me to come up and see ANYTHING.
It's better for all of us that way.
But it remains true that work is a luxury and realized in an odd grouping of ten seconds snatched here or there.
Apart from the face-to-face interruptions, which are plentiful, there is the cacophony of noises that draw my attention away from my words. Laughter is fine, giggling is good, thumping is nerve-wracking, but silence …
That is the scariest sound of all.
There are moments when I think the ceiling above me is barely holding the wannabe frat party from collapsing. I'm fairly certain that the vibration from the bass notes alone coming from the film score to the "Animal House Lite" reenactment upstairs can do some serious structural damage. If nothing else, the paint is peeling from the walls, but then again, there's no need to dust the ceiling light fixtures this month. Again, perspective.
But when there is no sound, when there is the absence of sound—especially right after a very large and earth shattering one—I hold my breath and count to ten. I mentally go through the list of first aid treatments I can capably do and calculate the distance to the nearest emergency room.
Then I think about drafting an apology letter to the parents of each boy and wonder what is the most tactful way of saying, "I did my best and realize now I should have hired an onsite paramedic and triage station for the living room. Whoops. My bad."
In the end—at least for this particular episode—everyone made it out with injuries that are, according to the surgeon, non-life threatening, and supposedly will heal in such a way that will allow them to pursue the eventual dream of finding a wife and having a child.
That's all one could ask for, right?
So I'm off to the shops to replenish my supplies—and then stopping off at the printer's to whip up a little something for the next shindig to spontaneously combust at my house …A waiver.

Download in N.I. apk free for Android smartphone
Posted by Andrew Healy in Travel & Local | Dec. 7, 2013 | 0 Comments
Apk file size: 0 bytes
Northern Ireland's geography is still highly politicised in spite of the relative peace of recent years. Urban and rural areas are religiously segregated and there is still tension between the two communities. There are now more "Peace Walls" dividing people than before the Good Friday Agreement and many sites still visibly bear the scars of violent incidents from years before.
One way people show solidarity, mark their territory, and express identity is through the display of flags. As such, colour is an important signifier of political allegiance. The words "Orange" or "Green" when applied to a person or area take on political or social significance. By using a strict series of gradients determined by latitude and longitude values rather than the demographics of an area, the "in N.I." app converts any given point in Northern Ireland into a new colour. This colour is joined by its contrasting colour at all times (reflecting the two communities living together).
While this app is predominantly about dispassionately creating a new colour map for Northern Ireland, at 124 sites across the British Isles the app will respond directly to that location's significance in the Troubles. The animation changes from slowly intersecting circles to rapidly flashing squares and the date of the incident in question appears on screen. No other details are given (about victims or group responsible, for example). It is left up to the user if they want to conduct their own search for the particular event.
1. If this app is used outside a determined polygon surrounding Northern Ireland and the Border region the text "Sorry. You are not in Northern Ireland" will be displayed (in the brighter of the two colours) on a black background.
2. The app works best when used outside and with GPS enabled on the device. Obviously, some form of location recognition must be enabled for the this app to function.
3. Allow a moment when launching the app for the location to be obtained by the device. A black background or previous known location will be displayed until the current location is determined.

What would you do if you were walking around and randomly came across a cell phone on the ground. Let's be honest here as it's a split choice that someone will either attempt to call a contact, answer the phone as rings to return it or simply reformat it and pocket the cell. And this is also realistically considering if the phone is password protected.
Well this is a game that takes you on a "nosy" quest to find out who's the owner of "A Normal Lost Phone." It's a story about a boy named Sam who's just received 4 text messages from his father trying to find out where he is and what possibly could've happened to him. Is he missing? Was he kidnapped? Worse? This becomes your investigation rather than simply making that one call back to DAD.
So who is Sam? At first glance of text messages he seems to be an awesome, yet average kid that has quite a bit on his shoulders. However, when he doesn't respond to his father it raises a lot of questions. The phone is equipped with a few apps, most importantly beginning with all of his text, calendar, gallery and music; mainly because those are the only accessible apps (at first). As you continue to delve deeper into Sam's text you learn quite a bit about his life, family and close loved ones.
Though to some it may seem overwhelming, I enjoy how the developers made each conversation as detailed as possible, leading you in to researching who and how others relate to Sam and his background to understanding what exactly happened.
There are other apps that requires a bit of work from you to crack his passwords. And as for how you solve these are unique in every way. Just to access the internet I had to find the right text to gain wifi access which allowed me to access emails, lovebirds app and more. Solving everything involves you not only having to think like Sam but at times also pretending to be him, completing unfinished messages and awaiting replies.
I absolutely loved the soundtrack to A Normal Lost Phone as its well-balanced list genuinely complemented the story. Another neat feature was being able to adjust volume in the game the same way you would a real phone, never taking away that sense of realism.

No one knows a culture better than a good marketer.
Once you know what appeals to the heart of a culture, you can get them to do (or buy) nearly anything you want.
In some cultural training programs I put together for a specific culture, we would often show advertisements and then discuss the embedded cultural values and themes that emerged. Participants would learn four to five significant cultural truths from one commercial alone. Ads not only show the major values of a culture, they also show trends of how these values are changing.
I recently came across an article that talked about some of the best advertisements of 2013 in India. Here are four of the best ones that are very reflective of both longstanding and new cultural values.
Warning: if you are prone to crying at emotional-packed ads, you may want to have some tissues on hand.
#1 – "Reunion" from Google India
This one peeks into an old theme of India's partition and the creation of Pakistan. Make sure to turn on the captions for translation.
#2 – "Remarriage" from Tanishq
Here's a bold statement for India about second marriages, which have generally been a taboo subject. Maybe it's simply a new market for gold jewelry, but it still reflects a shifting acceptance. Many of the comments also talk about the actress being "darker skinned", which is a huge deal in India.
The last line translates to something like "Can I call you Daddy now?"
#3 – "Boxer" from Cadbury Bournvita
This one is very reflective of one of the biggest pressing issues in India today, but I won't ruin the surprise.
Translation of the voice over from this blog:
We will prepare ourselves with better prepared ones Since it will keep reminding us how capable we really are Habits are neither formed in a day, nor easily Because in life, competition is unparalleled But for that, we will prepare ourselves to be two steps ahead
Women's safety and empowerment have become two major issues in modern India, and this ad does a great job of capturing both. I won't comment on whether or not a powdered "health" drink will allow you achieve your goals, but the message behind it is a powerful one.
Here's a bonus ad from the same company that touches on the parent-child or guru-shishya relationship.
#4 – "Gundappa" from Lifebuoy
This one might be the topper for inspiration. (Translations are already embedded.)
Staying up with the leading marketing means staying up with culture and how it changes. If you are in a new culture, don't forget to let the marketer be your teacher.

With the nights drawing in, sitting in the garden without some form of heater in the evening is starting to become less appealing. Combined with an abundance of wood as a result of the several trees I felled this summer, building a log burner seemed like an excellent idea. I decided to base it on an old 7kg gas bottle that was lying around; it's a nice size and shape, and made of thick, good quality steel that won't burn through easily.
Before taking power tools to a gas bottle it is vital to ensure that there is no gas left in the bottle. Simply releasing the pressure wont do; you must remove the valve then fill the bottle with water to displace the remaining gas. The bottle should remain filled with water until all the gas has dispersed and then emptied and left to stand to allow any remaining traces to dissipate. After all of this, the bottle will still smell of 'gas'; this is to be expected, the smell is caused by an additive that leeches into the steel.
Once the bottle was safe to work on, I removed the handle/valve protector ring using an angle grinder.
Next I made the fuel/air opening on the front; I marked out a D shape and started the cut with the angle grinder, then completed it with a jigsaw.
I had a rummage around for something to make legs out of and came across 3 mini fence post spikes.
The bottom part of the spike is constructed from 2 tapered pieces of angle steel welded corner to corner. I cut these off just below the join with the box section, and ground most of the welds away. I could then then split the spikes into their separate parts with a hammer and masonry chisel.
In order to make the burner more portable, I opted for removable legs. This was achieved by cutting some tabs from a piece of the box section of a spike, into which I drilled and tapped M8 holes. I marked up positions on the bottle to weld the tabs on, and stripped the paint ready for welding.
Using my MOT welder (which I've made a few improvements to, detailed in an upcoming post), I welded the tabs on.
To fit the legs, I trimmed the tops and drilled bolt holes; seeing as the gas bottle now had legs, I removed the bottom stand ring (again, using the angle grinder). The box section pieces of the spikes looked perfect for a chimney, so I cut a suitable square hole by dropping the angle grinder directly down into the bottle.
The only thing missing now was the chimney; I took the box section parts from the 2 spikes that I had used for legs, clamped them end to end with some pieces of wood and welded them together.
At this point, I had something that looked like a log burner; to make removing the paint easier, and see how well it worked, I fired it up. It lit nice and easily, using a bit of newspaper and some split pallet wood.
While it did burn well, the chimney didn't draw as well as I'd hoped. The first thing I did to improve this was to simply extend the chimney; I welded the box section of the third spike on the top for something like a 60% increase in length.
I also improved the mounting of the chimney onto the main body. Previously it had simply been pushed in, and held in place by friction; this was both a bit precarious and the extension into the body interfered with airflow, which reduced the draw. I welded on a couple of small plates with holes in, and used an old tent peg to pin the chimney in place. It still extends into the body to ensure a secure fit, but much less than it used to.
Another issue I discovered was that, while the legs provided excellent stability side to side, the burner was able to fall backwards too easily to be safe. I solved this by adjusting the legs and tabs such that the legs extended out backwards; in order to maintain the height I simply bent the tabs inward, using the leverage of the attached legs.
I also built a cowl to prevent rainwater filling the stove when left outside; I cut a piece from the handle ring and crushed it in the vice to increase its curvature, then bent some coat-hanger wire into a couple of supports. Welding the wire was a somewhat dubious affair; my welder is much too powerful for this type of job, resulting in welds that only just hold and are very inaccurate. It does work, but I plan to revisit this and do a better job once I've sorted current limiting on my welder.
All that remained to do this point was to apply a coat of paint. I used wire brush attachments for the angle grinder and power drill to remove the original paint; this took a long time as both gas bottles and post spikes are designed to withstand rough treatment outdoors.
I then applied a couple of coats of stove & BBQ paint, left it to dry then fired it up to cure the paint. I did have an issue with a bit of the paint around the fuel/air hole and chimney flaking off, but I suspect this is where flames were licking it due to building the fire far to hot (with the help of a little bit of engine oil). I cleaned these areas with a wire brush and reapplied paint and have not had any more problems. The paint on the legs won't have got hot enough to cure, but this does not seem to cause any problems; it looks and behaves just like standard black paint.
The new chimney draws much better, and there is no longer any risk of the burner falling over backwards. Once a decent bed of embers is built up, it works very well; the wood burns pretty cleanly, and what smoke there is gets drawn up well. It currently makes a very nice patio accessary, with the potential to make a good shed heater in the future.
