Recreational Program
The Nepean Blue Devils Basketball Association offers a Recreational Basketball program for boys and girls where they can enjoy the game of basketball and improve their basketball skills in the context of both team practices and league play. The Recreational Program is split into three divisions:
Bantam (for boys and girls aged 12-13)
Midget (for boys and girls aged 14-15)
Junior (for boys and girls aged 16-18)
- During the season the recreational teams will have, on average, one two-hour practice per week.
- Teams are assigned a practice night for the season.
- Team practices provide an opportunity for the players to work on various skills and team tactics with their coaches.
- The majority of Recreational teams participate in the West-End Basketball League (WEBL), which is comprised of a number of member basketball associations located primarily in the west-end of Ottawa.
- Depending on the number of players enrolled in any one division and gym availability, Nepean may decide to run an in-house league, independently of the WEBL.
- League games are generally played on weekends between the hours of 8:00 am and 5:00 pm (schedules are dependent on facility availability).
- Throughout the season, recreational teams can expect to participate in 12 to 15 league games as well as a year-end tournament.
- Sort-outs will begin on Saturday, September 22, 2018. Once the schedule is finalized, it will be posted here and emailed to all registered players.
- It is important to note that registration fees must be PAID IN FULL in order to attend the sort-outs.
Questions about the Girls Recreational Program can be emailed to email@example.com.
Questions about the Boys Recreational Program can be emailed to email@example.com

"The main goal is to give educators an insight of what NASA is doing by using different components," says attendee Catherinne Alfaro, a EC-Grade 6 Bilingual Generalist student, "such as student centered classroom activities that utilize NASA assets and resources."
NASA's Minority University Research and Education Programs (MUREP) enhance the capabilities of colleges and universities supporting underserved populations to contribute to the research needs of science and technology enterprises. The MUREP staff at NASA are responsible for developing agencywide policies, procedures and guidelines that enhance the involvement of all minority serving education institutions in the mission of the agency.
Projects supported by MUREP ensure access to NASA careers in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics, or STEM, disciplines and are designed to address the national challenges of attracting and retaining underrepresented, underserved, and minority students and faculty in STEM courses of study. The MUREP suite of projects provides opportunities for students at the undergraduate and graduate levels with NASA-related research and mission-specific technology development. MUREP also provides opportunities for these institutions to collaborate with teacher preparation programs that improve the quality and diversity of STEM teachers.

The weather in the week leading up to it was dreadful. Rain, wind, cold, more rain, more rain. Every time I drove past the oval I saw great puddles of water and was stressing inside how the weekend would fare up.
Friday arrives and the weather clears. Sunny, dry, windy and more dry. No rain at all. This is brilliant for Saturdays Alzheimer's fundraising fair at the Kettering hall and oval. My main concern was for the stall holders being on the oval itself. Boggy and wet.
On arrival at 10.45 Saturday morning the oval was a hive of activity with people everywhere and gazebos popping up as if like mushrooms from the ground.
I lugged mine across the oval and was greeted with several boys who were asked to help me set it up. By the time it was up hubby had arrived and was bringing boxes over.
Set up was quick and easy but I soon remembered why I don't usually do outside markets. Wind. While I personally don't mind the wind, my display and product doesn't. Gazebo pegged down and one part of the display put away as it wouldn't sit still. Tablecloth corners clipped around the table legs and everything was sitting pretty.
We tried hanging the walls up but it was still too windy and without pegs (who forgot them, and where are they??!) there was no point. I mused about having a solid frame or something to stop the wall blowing in, and how hard would it be to lug around. My neighbour made a very good suggestion of using those tent poles that are joined by elastic, you know the ones of can fold up, and making a large triangle across the back of the gazebo. The wall fabric then hangs behind it . I like that idea. Now to make it work.
And then the wind all but disappeared. And it was a lovely day. Typical Tasmanian spring day. A day for layering clothes.
And from then on it was a good day. I talked and gave information about the Woodbridge Market and made quite a few sales. It was a good day for me.
Picture taken before I clipped the tablecloth.
Not doing outside markets much I had to rethink what I took with me. My earrings kept flying off the stand so they went away, and I had a few necklaces and lots of bracelets. Plus a table and my rack for bags.
A very simple table that had a it of everything.
I can't wait for the next 3 weeks before my next market as I have lots of new things I want to try.
The oval quite early on, just before start time. From this point on there were people everywhere til the end.
Overall the day was wonderful with the weather staying away till the last hour when it came over cloudy and threatened to rain. It was well organised and set up with music playing all afternoon, test it out exercises in the hall and plenty of things for the kids to do. Thirty stalls covering a whole slew of items made for a well rounded market.
Another one like this in the middle of summer would be perfect, with better weather and more people about.

If you live in San Diego, chances are you've heard of Sunset Cliffs. The national park takes up an amazing stretch of beach that extends 1.5 miles from the pier at Ocean Beach, and is well-known for producing the most picturesque sunsets San Diego has to offer. With it's steep cliffs, strange-crater looking rocks, and breathtaking ocean views, it really is something worth marveling over. This past weekend, my friend Jazz and I decided to check out Sunset Cliffs for the first time, and left with some magazine-worthy photographs! Sadly, you won't see any sunsets captured in these photos because the day we chose was a particularly cloudy one; however the pictures turned out beautiful none-the-less!

Malbec. If you haven't tried it, you're missing out.March 29, 2010
Last night I uncorked a Malbec Rosé from Argentina. Half a year ago, if you asked me what Malbec was, I wouldn't have had any clue what you were talking about!
You see, when I first moved to California, I was very eager to get out and meet people with similar interests. I immediately joined a women's wine group and we met one night at the Wine Cabana, a wine bar in San Diego's Old Town. One of the girls recommended trying the Malbec, which I had never even heard of at the time. I tried it for the first time and fell in love! I began primarily as a red wine drinker and love dry, tannic red wines like a Shiraz or Norton. Malbec is both dry and tannic, so it definitely fit the bill.
Argentina is where this varietal has gained it's fame, but it is a little-known fact that Malbec is originally from France and was brought over to Argentina in 1868. In France, Malbec is primarily known for being one of six grapes blended together to create red Bordeaux wines, whereas in Argentina the grape takes center-stage as a stand-alone varietal.
A purple grape variety, it's black fruit character translates into jammy flavors such as blackberry and plum, with a hint of spice on the finish. Malbec is full-bodied with either medium or high tannins. The different climates in each region account for the differences in taste and wine-making techniques. For instance, the Malbec of France is a high tannic wine, whereas an Argentinean Malbec is softer with less tannins and is more suitable for aging in oak barrels.
Because of it's tannins, Malbec and red meat centered dishes make wonderful companions! It also pairs well with spicy ethnic foods such as Mexican, Cajun, Indian, or Italian. I paired mine with spaghetti and meat sauce. See? Food and wine pairing is easy, and you don't even have to make anything fancy!
The interesting thing about this particular bottle of Malbec was that it was a Malbec Rosé. So for those who enjoy a sweeter, more fruit forward wine such as a White Zinfindel or any kind of blush wine, you definitely would enjoy the Malbec Rosé.
Next time you're in the market for a bottle wine, why not pick up a bottle of Argentinean Malbec? Your taste buds will thank you.
Bottle Stats:
- Company: Melipal
- Vintage: 2009
- Varietal: Malbec Rosé
- Region: Mendoza, Argentina
- Price: $10.99 at BevMo!
Wine Bars, Wineries, and Wine-ventions!March 5, 2010
The other day I had an interview for an internship with a well-known wine bar in San Diego. It turns out they have never actually had an intern, but they've been swamped lately and need somebody to step in and handle some of the catering duties such as renting out the back room for private parties and dealing with the overwhelming volume of emails that come their way about private event bookings.
I was so nervous during the interview that when I left, my entire body was literally aching! I was that tense! I am crossing my fingers that they give me the green light, because this job could lead to my ultimate goal of becoming an Event Planner for a Winery and Wine Tasting Room Manager!
After my interview I decided to meet up with my friend and fellow blogger of Eat Move Write, Ms. Jasmine herself. Ok, she's technically a Mrs. but Mrs. Jasmine just didn't sound right!
I just recently moved to a cute little suburb east of San Diego called La Mesa. It happens to be where I work and also where my friend lives, which is super exciting to me! Even more exciting is the discovery I made last week when my dad was visiting. After dinner, I happened to notice a brand spankin' new tasting room in downtown La Mesa. So of course I had to drag my friend along to check it out with me even though she doesn't drink wine.
I had mistakenly thought this was a winery from Temecula that happened to open a tasting room down South. In fact, San Pasqual Winery is a local winery that grows its grapes in Pacific Beach and is owned by a couple that lives in La Mesa. They just opened their doors for business in late December of last year.
The very nice gentleman behind the counter let me try their PB Passionfruit Wine made from locally grown passionfruit. It was very light and fruity, but not super sugary or sweet. He also let me try a batch of their Ranchero Cabernet Sauvignon/Nebbiolo Blend that had just finished being pressed and was getting ready to go into oak barrels. This wine generally undergoes a year to year and a half aging process, so this was literally like tasting grapes right off the vine! The wine had a very sour and bitter taste—clearly not ready for drinking! But it was so fun and interesting to be able to taste a wine before it's been aged… which reinforces to me just how important the aging process is to certain wine varietals.
For $8.50, you get 6 tastes of wine, $5 off your purchase of a bottle of wine, and you get to keep the wine tasting glass! What a deal. I will definitely be back to San Pasqual for a proper wine tasting!
Also, while you are there ask Darrell to show you his invention. The Wine Bearer is an inflatable container used to protect your wine while traveling. My mom and I definitely could have used that on our road trip. Then again, I'm not complaining that she had to leave the wine in San Diego with me ;).
I'm going to leave you with a barrage of more random pictures from our day!

Phoenix and more
Earlier in the week I made a trip to Asheville to have the newest tapestry, Phoenix, photographed at Tim Barnwell's studio.
Here's the result:
Like I'd mentioned in an earlier post, I did make-shift finishing using masking tape to hold back warp ends. I'll use the tapestry during the Penland session as a teaching aid for finishing and preparing a piece for hanging with velcro.
This is the last week of preparations before the Penland class begins! So much to do and so little time remaining--no panic yet (or not much) but my anxiety level is increasing about what I'll really be able to finish before next Saturday.
Yesterday I put together yet another copper pipe loom to add to my stock. I wanted to be sure each of us has a loom that we can use for sampling so I'm taking fourteen along with me as loaners. We'll have both tapestry looms and floor looms going through the next eight weeks.
A couple of other things I want to note here. First, is a new exhibit posted at TEx@ATA. This is American Tapestry Alliance's online gallery showcasing curated exhibitions of contemporary tapestry artists from around the world. I have a small tapestry included in Elements: earth, air, fire, water – an international non-juried exhibition initiated by Jane Freear-Wyld (UK). Here's a link for that.
ATA has also posted a video recently in which I have a tapestry included. The video is found at this link.
Now, back to the Penland Prep!

Very Realistic School Corporal Punishment Paddling
Yesterday I decided to try and film a very realistic school paddling scene with Lila and Frankie. Both girls were made to wait outside my office and were called in one at a time by Miss Kay (a new spanker in training). Each girl was made to place her hands on the wall, and extend them way out and then received 8 swats, with a heavy wooden paddle, on her jean covered bottom. The pic below is an after picture showing the results of a serious school type paddling. I know for a fact that both girls are sitting very gingerly this morning. Video will be posted in the member's area of Realspankings.com.
Comments:Miss Kay must be well along in her training if you let her use a heavy two-cheek wood paddle. Those are impressive marks. For the spankee, it's good news-bad news. The studio is scrupulously careful about never paddling high (and never using a two-cheek paddle unless the spankee is bent over at the waist), to avoid hitting the tailbone. However, to avoid hitting high, you all tend to hit low. Arguably, the lower half of those swats were on the thighs, not the butt, which has to hurt a lot worse. So, ladies, we will definitely not break your tailbones, but in the process of assuring that, we WILL give you heavy paddle swats on your thighs. You don't have to thank us.

we're in the deep of winter right now in canberra. it kind of feels like we'll never make it out. every day i wake up, aching to see some warmth of sunlight through my curtains, instead i see an uninspiring white-grey sky stretching as far as i can see. it was okay in the beginning, and it's okay when it's raining. at least then the weather has some personality. this achingly cold, still winter is getting the better of me and making me wish for warmer days in a way winter has never done before. so i make porridge.
porridge is one of my favourite meals. it warms me from within, making me feel cosy, full and energised in a soothing way. it almost makes this winter worth it. almost. as a child, my dad used to make porridge for breakfast in the winters. we'd top it with loads of brown sugar and almost drown it with milk. since we're both so busy, my dad and i haven't been able to spend much time together recently. so today, we made a morning of our porridge eating.
i stirred the pot of slowly thickening, creamy oats and dad added fun bits and pieces to the mix and prepared the fresh toppings. porridge is like muesli, it is almost ALWAYS more about the toppings than the actual porridge. it's really a vessel for a variety of flavours and textures. i like to add things into my porridge while it cooks as well, which is what i did today.
oats (on an average morning i use about 1/4 of a cup, but it really depends how hungry/how much you can eat)
water (double the amount of oats)
1 tsp cinnamon (or more is desired)
1 tsp vanilla extract
small handful of dried cranberries
1 banana, sliced
strawberries, sliced
peanut butter
coconut yoghurt
chopped nuts
plant milk
chopped up bliss ball
in a small saucepan, add the oats, water, cinnamon, vanilla, dried cranberries and banana. cook over a low heat, stirring constantly. continuously stirring porridge is essential for it to become smooth and creamy, the more you stir while it cooks the creamier it will become! when desired consistency is reached, serve in bowls (it's a good idea to warm them up with a little warm water first, as the porridge is likely to go cold really fast if you don't!). top with fresh fruit, nut butter, dried fruit, chopped nuts, chopped bliss balls, maple syrup, coconut sugar, coconut yoghurt, seeds ANYTHING YOU WANT! You're an adult and can make your own decisions!
all my love,

It's been a long while since we've posted!
That's because we've been hard at work completing what has been for us a 5 year journey. The whole time we were working on Hurdle Turtle and Pixel Whirled and their various incarnations, Bit of War (our 8-bit demake of the God of War universe) has been an ongoing side project - a labor of love - that we are so excited to now finally share with the world!
As a free fan game we couldn't always afford to give it as much attention as we wanted to and so development has been (very) part time. It has taken many forms over the years and the project has been started, stopped and restarted numerous times as other projects took the forefront, and as we found the right look and feel for the game.. as this very blog can attest to!
It's taken us far too long to get here. But this year we made a New Year's resolution to put everything else aside and give it the love it deserved and complete it.. and here it is! It was ultimately our fans' support of our other games that allowed us to take this liberty, and for that we are eternally grateful.
This page contains a link to the download page (temporarily hosted on filedropper while the game awaits authorization on indiedb.com) and will soon contain a lot more than that - an online instruction manual in the style of old school NES manuals, as well as an explanation of the story of the game and its inspirations.
Please enjoy the game - it's free for your Windows PC! - and feel free to leave us feedback and questions right here!
Thank you all!

Radioactive mountain tops
by: Mark Sircus
Tuesday, May 10, 2011
Several Japanese are crying out about what is going on in Japan. Hirose Takashi is telling us that, "The nuclear power plants in Japan are aging rapidly; like cyborgs, they are barely kept in operation by a continuous replacement of parts. And now that Japan has entered a period of earthquake activity and a major accident could happen at any time, the people live in constant state of anxiety."
Toshiso Kosako, a University of Tokyo professor, that has been employed since mid-March as a nuclear advisor to the government of Prime Minister Naoto Kan in Japan, quit with disgust at what the government and nuclear industry is doing to the children. In his April 29 resignation, Kosako blinked back tears and accused the Japanese leadership of ignoring his advice on how to handle the nuclear crisis, particularly the setting of radiation limits for schools. Kosako even charged that the government had not fully complied with the law in its response to the nuclear disaster. "There is no point for me to be here," Kosako said in a tense press conference.

Gazing upon the Wreckage of the Norris Campaign
July 30, 2011 16 Comments
Two milestones have been reached on this blog of late. One is the rather minor matter that this piece marks my fiftieth posting.
The other is that the story broke on this site on Sunday July 24th has since gone national. After gathering interest for a number of days on Politics.ie and among Facebook friends, including some journalists and politicians, on Friday evening David Norris's director of communications, Jane Cregan, and director of elections, Derek Murphy, resigned from Mr Norris's campaign team. More have joined them today. Murphy and Cregan did not specify why they resigned, but Stephen Collins left readers in no doubt on the today's Irish Times that it was due to knowledge of Ezra Nawi's conviction for sex with a male Palestinian minor in Israel getting to the Irish public. Little did I know innocently blogging on Sunday that Norris's letter appealing for clemency in his lover's sexual offence case would be leaked by today. The letter is worth reading for the arrogance on display alone. Norris drops the fact that he got a double-first at undergrad level, and claims he can give 'expert evidence' to the esteemed judges on the High Court of Jerusalem while talking at length about other irrelevant legal systems. To any decent person, Norris's actions must rival much of what was revealed in the Cloyne and Ryan Reports in their evil. Unfortunately, classic anti-Semitic motifs among Norris supporters, that I care not to link to, are on display all over Ireland in depicting this as an Israeli conspiracy. No, people: I was the conspirator.
After it all, I'm left pondering a few things. I was able to put damning evidence on Nawi and his relationship with Norris together in a few hours of searching Google and LexisNexis. What was wrong with the Irish media that the pieces were not put together years ago, or even after the Helen Lucy Burke Affair? Clearly if David Norris were an English politician this would never have been the case. Either the Irish media are more respectful of our private lives, or they are marred by timidity. This is a another triumph of the blogosphere, which has really come into its own after the financial crisis of 2008.
Then there are the people in the Norris campaign team, and Norris himself. I have no illusions that these people were not aware of the ticking bomb. The fact that Cregan and Murphy immediately resigned on the news coming out, rather than putting up some kind of fight, is telling. I am only reminded of John Edwards in the 2008 US Presidential election. How could a man continue campaigning knowing he could never keep the affair a secret, much less the resulting child, all behing the back of a dying wife? Was it arrogance? Delusions of grandeur and invincibility? Can we compare this with Norris?
When I get through all the hate mail, I might come back with an answer.

Michael Klare, The Coming World of "Peak Oil Demand," Not "Peak Oil"
Posted by Big Gav in michael klare, oil, oil price, oil production, peak oil, saudi arabia
TomDispatch has a new article from Michael Klare on what he calls "The Collapse of the Old Oil Order " - Michael Klare, The Coming World of "Peak Oil Demand," Not "Peak Oil".Klare views the discord amongst oil producers (evident at the failed talks aimed restraining supply in Doha) as another sign of weak demand for oil in the coming years and a fight between suppliers for market share. He also notes Saudi Arabia is claiming it will raise production from its current 10.2 million barrels per day to 11.5 million barrels and could add another million barrels in the next six to nine months.
At the beginning of this century, many energy analysts were convinced that we were at the edge of the arrival of "peak oil"; a peak, that is, in the output of petroleum in which planetary reserves would be exhausted long before the demand for oil disappeared, triggering a global economic crisis. As a result of advances in drilling technology, however, the supply of oil has continued to grow, while demand has unexpectedly begun to stall. This can be traced both to slowing economic growth globally and to an accelerating "green revolution" in which the planet will be transitioning to non-carbon fuel sources. With most nations now committed to measures aimed at reducing emissions of greenhouse gases under the just-signed Paris climate accord, the demand for oil is likely to experience significant declines in the years ahead. In other words, global oil demand will peak long before supplies begin to run low, creating a monumental challenge for the oil-producing countries. This is no theoretical construct. It's reality itself. Net consumption of oil in the advanced industrialized nations has already dropped from 50 million barrels per day in 2005 to 45 million barrels in 2014. Further declines are in store as strict fuel efficiency standards for the production of new vehicles and other climate-related measures take effect, the price of solar and wind power continues to fall, and other alternative energy sources come on line. While the demand for oil does continue to rise in the developing world, even there it's not climbing at rates previously taken for granted.

Many 'alternative' therapies work on the belief that it is necessary to allow the energies of the body to flow freely in order to attain health, wellbeing and happiness. Illnesses and stress can cause blockages, which prevent the energy flowing. The prevention of the energy flow exacerbates the illness or stress and so it becomes a downward spiral that is difficult to escape from. So treatment is based on re-establishing that flow.
This is the basis for acupuncture, reiki, feng shui and crystal healing.
Isn't it just a 'New Age' Thing?
Not at all. In fact,there are over 200 mentions of the positive use of crystals in the Bible! In Exodus, Aaron (Moses' brother) was told by God to make a breast-plate from specific crystals which would give him both protection and wisdom.
Crystals have been used by ancient civilizations for centuries and right up to today, for
Divination and scrying (foreseeing the future)
Bringing luck
Precious gifts
Silicon chips for computers
Clocks and watches powered by quartz crystals
Where the Word Comes From…
The name 'crystal' is derived from the Greek 'Krysos' which means 'ice cold'. Crystals were believed to be a form of ice that was so cold it never melted. It wasn't until the late 1700's that it became understood that crystals grew, layer by layer.
What are They?
Crystals began growing when the Earth was beginning to form. The continual heating up and cooling down helped to form the amazing crystals that we see today. Now that crystal growth is understood, they are also 'grown' commercially.
Most crystals are made from silicon and oxygen. The core of the Earth is primarily made from silicon. Silicon combined with oxygen makes silicon dioxide, more commonly known as quartz. This is the basis for all crystals. It is the inclusion of other elements during the growth that gives rise to the different types of crystals.
How do they Work?
It has been scientifically proven that all matter is made from energy. Every object, whether it's a human being, a table, a lake or even a single grain of sand has some form of energy both inside it and around it. Energy resonates with a specific vibration and everything that contains energy has its' own vibration.
As mentioned at the beginning of this article, this has been realized for centuries and the ancients knew that for the human body to function well, this vibration has to be correctly 'tuned'. Just think of your body as a radio. When it is correctly tuned in, the sound is clear and easy to understand. If it's not, the sound is muffled and indistinct. When you're healthy, your body is 'in tune' and it's out of tune when you're ill or stressed.
Unlike our bodies, crystals have a set formation so their vibration doesn't alter. Their resonance is constant and so they are wonderful tools to help bring the body's energies back into tune.
Crystals work on a very subtle level so it's not unusual to feel nothing when you first start working with them. Some people are more naturally 'attuned' than others but just know that the crystal will be working, even if it takes some time for you to feel the benefits.
How do I Use Them?
If you are new to crystals, the easiest ways are to place them in your home, at work or wear them as pieces of jewelry.
Using Crystals to Energize
This brings us back to the energy flows of the body. The best way to use crystals is in conjunction with your own energy 'points'. These are known as chakras. The word Chakra is Sanskrit for 'wheel' because each of the seven main chakras is an energy point that spins to carry and transfer energy. If the flow of energies is blocked because of negative emotional issues such as stress, anxiety or anger they can cause physical illness.
Each chakra has a colour associated with it. To clean, open and activate these energy points you can wear a chakra necklace or bracelet which includes crystals in each of the seven chakra colors. Alternatively, you can perform a 'chakra layout'.
How to Perform the energizing Chakra Layout
You will need 7 crystals that correspond to the chakra colors. You can buy complete 'chakra sets' or choose individual crystals. There is a list below to help you choose. You may feel more drawn to one than another or have the specific symptoms of chakra blockages shown below. If so, go with that one.
You will be lying down on the floor for this exercise. First, make sure that you will not be disturbed so take the phone off the hook! Gather your seven crystals and lay them on the floor in sequence next to where you will lie. Then lie down and place each stone on its' associated chakra point on your body. Simply lie quietly and try to relax. Do this for at least several minutes.

The All-Purpose Crystal
If this sounds like too much hassle and you're not sure about the whole crystal thing anyway – why not just get yourself a bracelet, necklace or earrings of clear quartz.
You may have noticed that this crystal is applicable to every chakra and it is a favorite with crystal lovers because of its' multiple applications.
If you're not a jewelry wearer, just put one under your pillow and see how it improves your sleep.
If you find it on the floor one morning – it has done its' job!
Don't knock it 'til you've tried it!
Crystals are not only healing, they're beautiful too – so why not get some and give them a try. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain!

Well hello friends! It's been TWO weeks that I've not posted on a Friday. Gah. Life gets crazy busy. So glad for the Friday Five link-up hosted by Courtney, Cynthia, and Mar. Check out their rules and future topics HERE!
So here we are and I am so ready for some more sunshine and NO MO SNOW! Y'all…for real…the snow has been beautiful, the kid has thoroughly enjoyed every minute, and it's good for watering the earth so to speak…but I've had enough of the treadmill. However, I am so glad my hubby fixed it! Without it this week would have not been as successful with marathon training! Silver lining friends!
Anyway, so this week's Friday Five is "freebie". I can post any 5 things I'd like to. So today since I was feeling bummed this morning I'm going to post 5 of my favorite motivational posters. Enjoy!
1.) This picture is from my first ever marathon, OBX Outer Banks NC. As a single parent, achieving a full marathon was the greatest feeling in the world. This race taught me that I could indeed do anything I set my sights on. Now I relentlessly, fearlessly pursue my goals everyday.
2.) Strength.
3.) "They will soar on the wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary." Probably my most favorite.
4.) This one reminds me that God has got this and that I can and will finish my race in victory!
5.) Always be proud of who God created you to be! Every step forward is a step no matter how long it might take you! I recently heard a thought on a podcast that many people give up because the start up of their projects are taking too long. Don't stop. The time will pass anyway in your life so be proud NOW of each and every little step you take.
That's it! see you guys next Monday!

Brazil have won through to the World Cup final - but they made their fans suffer first.
The top floor of O'Malleys Pub in Sao Paulo was packed with several hundred Brazilian supporters watching on a giant screen, most of them dressed in the national colours and armed with bottles of beer.
Through the whole of the first half they were on the edge of their seats as Brazil repeatedly attacked the Turkish goal but failed to score.
At half time there were many worried faces - watching the worried face of the Brazilian coach on the giant screen.
In the run-up to the World Cup, Brazil struggled to qualify and were beaten by South American teams they would normally easily defeat.
Most Brazilian fans expected to win the game against Turkey - but there was a sneaking worry that the recent past might come back to haunt them.
Wild jubilation
All that ended when Ronaldo scored near the start of the second half.
A huge shout went up from the crowd with people hooting horns, blowing whistles and setting off fire crackers in the street outside.
So far, he is the undoubted hero of the World Cup for Brazil.
Before the game, newspapers were filled with pictures of his new "half moon" haircut - all shaven except for a crescent-shaped patch at the front.
Commentators said it was designed to rival that of his Turkish opponents.
The fans' suffering carried on through most of the second half.
They shouted insults at the players every time Brazil failed to score from their many chances.
There were groans with people hiding their heads in their hands when the Turkish striker Ilian Mansiz almost scored.
Streets deserted
The whole of Sao Paulo stopped for the game - which kicked off at 0830 local time - normally the height of rush hour in South America's largest city.
Only Brazil can beat Brazil
Andre Piza
Streets were deserted as people crammed into bars and cafes to watch.
Even the stock exchange remained closed.
Brazil's yellow and green colours are everywhere: people wear T-shirts and bandanas; flags hang from windows and fly from cars.
Some have even wrapped up their dogs in the Brazilian colours.
High hopes
When Brazil face Germany in the final they will be playing to bring the cup home for a fifth time - putting them well ahead of any other country.
Germany has won the cup three times - so if they win they will equal Brazil's record.
Most fans now expect Brazil to win.
"Brazil will be the champions," was the chant on the lips of many as they left the pub.
But some sneaking nervousness remains.
"Only Brazil can beat Brazil," said Andre Piza.
"This is a World Cup final and they can get nervous and be beaten by their anxiety - even if they are favourites to win."
For many Brazilians, winning the World Cup would bring a welcome boost when the country is facing serious economic problems.
"The whole country will stop for this," said Camila Campelo.
"The economy is very bad and football is all that is left for us. It is really important."

As marketers, we know email is an important part of the mix. Email is a great tool to collect data from current customers, re-engage dormant ones, gain referrals and new customers, and make sales. If you're new to the email game and want to get started, here are some tips.
Like everything else that's good for you, there are no shortcuts here. If you're just starting out and thinking, "I want this off the ground quick. Let's go buy some email lists," hold the phone. Now give the phone to me. You do NOT want to do that, as many sold, rented, and scraped lists contain disproportionately large numbers of bad emails that lead to high bounce rates (sad for you) and being blacklisted (bad for you).
Develop an opt-in method on your app or site. Double-opt in is best practice; that's when you have users consciously fill in their emails to subscribe, then have them confirm this decision via an immediate follow-up email. If your content is gated and requires an email to access, some people will simply bounce and others will never interact with your following messages. The confirmation email is there to protect you from lower open rates and eventually falling prey to the spam filter as a result of those ignored emails.
Simply put, write an email someone would want to open. If your emails have low open rates, the email service providers (ESPs) that are tracking your domain's email history will assume you are sending low-quality emails that are potentially unsolicited. Some things to keep in mind:
- During your opt-in process, be upfront about what kind of content you'll be sending.
- Keep your branding consistent for your subscribers.
- Make sure there aren't coding errors (NEVER copy and paste it from a rich format text document); work existing templates or a designer to ensure your formatting isn't creating a bad user experience.
- Images and subject lines need to reflect the content and intent of the email text.
- Be clear and keep a healthy balance between selling and engaging your subscribers.
- Include a permissions reminder in each email to remind your subscribers that they did indeed sign up for these messages.
- Minimize the use of attachments as much as you can. Emails with attachment sizes greater than 3MB tend not to make it past the spam filter.
If you've ever been blacklisted by an email server, your IP address is now dead to the world and you'll never make it through to that ESP again. If you're using an external service, like MailChimp, they are usually stringent about spammy content to protect themselves and will usually stop you before you even make it out of the outbox if you're doing something wrong.
Being whitelisted pushes you through the spam reviews, automatically allowing your emails into inboxes. That Fast Pass is super valuable if you're sending emails out from a single IP on your own. If you're using an in-house system, you'll have to apply to the whitelists on your own; each ESP has its own whitelist (Gmail, Yahoo, MSN, etc), so you'll have to do a little sleuthing, but make the time to do so. Trust us. It's worth it.
It's so important that you're not violating the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003. The only emails that are exempt from these guidelines are purely political and religious ones. Everyone else absolutely has to follow these rules or they'll be blacklisted or reported as abuse to SenderBase, the world's largest email monitoring network. Make sure you register with SenderBase for the ability to review those reports against you. It's impossible to avoid being reported ever, but do your best to avoid receiving them.
All of the following sections cover the different parts of the CAN-SPAM Act and will be marked with an asterisk!
Unsubscribe Compliance*
Your unsubscribe mechanism must be fully visible and functional. This unsubscribe mechanism must sit below the body of the main email. Any opt-out requests must be honored within 10-business days! I've seen some email services that use these final 10 days to ask "Are you sure?" and "How can we improve?", which is gutsy! It might just save you from losing a subscriber…but it could be further aggravating an already fed up person. Tread lightly.
Content Compliance*
Make sure your "from" line is not misleading about who the person or company is from. Keep your subject lines relevant relative to the body content. The publisher or advertiser has to include a legitimate business address (PO boxes are acceptable in some cases). If you send any adult content, label it as such– no one wants to accidentally open NSFW content in a compromising place.
Sending Behavior Compliance*
Emails cannot be sent through an open relay or with the unsubscribe option absent. Emails cannot contain false or misleading headers and the body message should contain at least one sentence. The entire email cannot be null or blank. And finally, don't use harvested email addresses.
At this point, you're probably overwhelmed by the number of things to juggle while still striving to craft good email campaigns. And that's fair. Email marketing is as much about deliverability as it is engagement. To help you out, we've created a checklist. Happy marketing!

Disabling Services does nothing to conserve energy unless you have a ruwaway Process that is hogging your CPU which requires troubleshooting in other ways.
You should keep Win7 fully updated for best security and performance. Optional Updates will help keep your drivers current and can also be trusted and useful.
Use the Win7 firewall with a free lightweight AV like Microsoft Security Essentials or Avast 6.

I would not disable Services. It often has unintended consequences depending upon how you use your computer.
If the purpose as stated is to conserve energy, it will not.

By disabling these devices your computer will get no harm. But you can forget about their power consumption if your system is connected to power supply.

Plan to increase production at Mesa oil refinery wins county's OK
Plans to increase the production at the Phillips 66 oil refinery on the Nipomo Mesa received final county approval Tuesday.
The request to increase the capacity of the plant by 10 percent was appealed by Jeff Edwards of Los Osos, who argued that an access easement across the refinery property that is required as part of the deal is inadequate.
The San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday voted unanimously to deny the appeal and uphold the Planning Commission's decision to approve the project.
The appeal centered on a dirt road that runs through the refinery property to the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area. Refinery workers use the road to access an ocean outfall.
As a requirement for approval of the capacity increase, the county required that refinery owners ConocoPhillips offer a 10-foot-wide easement on the road that might eventually be used as a third public access point to the park's riding area. The exact width, location and other details about the access road would be determined within the next 10 years by future studies, said Murry Wilson, a county environmental resource specialist.
The appeal asked that the easement be increased to 100 feet wide and that the California State Parks Department be required to fund any improvements to the road, rather than ConocoPhillips. This would help fulfill the long-standing need for a third, inland access route to Oceano Dunes, Edwards said.
"This would set the stage for State Parks to pick up the ball and run with it," he said.
Jean St. Martin, an attorney for ConocoPhillips, successfully argued that Edwards' demands would be out of proportion with the environmental impact of the capacity increase which does not require that any physical improvements be made to the refinery.
Capacity of the refinery will be increased from 44,500 to 48,950 barrels per day. The facility takes locally produced crude oil and removes coke and sulfur from it before it is piped to the Rodeo Refinery in Northern California for further processing.

I wanted to like this movie, but it just drug through scene after scene. Watching this I was reminded of the joke, "Britains and Americans are two people separated by a common languge." I could not understand half of what Michelle Williams said in the film, and I had the volume as high as it would go. In the end the movie was confusing and unsatisfying. 2 stars.

Moving Touching Film
Daniel G. Lebryk | 06/04/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This film took me by the heart. To me this was a film about a mother's love for her son, an all consuming love. To me, it had little to do with terrorism, fidelity, or a who done it mystery. Michele Williams is stupendous in the role of the young mother - she has no name in the film, just the young mother. The cinematography is outstanding. The sound recorded perfectly. And the story line was just wonderful. I felt the young mother's pain of losing her son.
There are movies where the camera work is poor, good, or remarkable. This film is shot in that very small percentage of remarkable films. The opening sequences with the mother and her son on the beach are simply gorgeous, visually and audibly. They are flashed back many times during the film, and are so welcome. The director made the visual and sound so unique that even an out of focus view, virtually all tan; or the sound without the image; evokes the memory of that sequence. Framing is so well done. The director of photography got almost every scene on the mark - characters on the strong and weak sides of the frame, leading diagonals, color, movement - all done beautifully.
The trailer for this film is so misleading. It looks like some treatise on terrorism, infidelity, a police cover up, a terrorism mystery...the film is none of these things. In fact they are simply pretexts to better define what this mother felt. The quotes at the very end of the film (revealing them would be a spoiler for the film) are so pointed at exactly this - parenthood and a love for their child. If you are expecting what is seen in the trailer, this film will be a huge disappointment.
Michele Williams (The United States of Leland and The Station Agent) is simply gorgeous in this film. During this film, she transforms from a mild mother, to a sweet housewife, to a crazed person. She is beautiful with her clothes on and off. The scene on the couch with her and Ewan McGregor is somewhat explicit and absolutely gorgeous. That particular moment was very strange, in that you know she is married, but her husband has somehow become a non-person in the movie. And the Ewan McGregor character is so much more perfect, or more charismatic. Their coupling just doesn't seem wrong somehow. It's not a moral situation (right or wrong), or played that way; it just is. The later scenes of her son are so much stronger after this moment occurs.
Strangely this film has not enjoyed much popularity, success, or release. Shown at Sundance in 2008; quietly in limited theatrical release in early 2009; and just recently released on DVD. I would blame that all on very poor marketing. The DVD cover art almost gets it right.
At one hour forty minutes, it is exactly the right length; pacing is perfect. The movie is rated R due to the scene with Jasper and the young wife. There's a bit of gore at the blown up football stadium. Very little strong language. The DVD includes almost no special features - the horrible trailer, and a set of very high quality still photographs done up in slideshow format. Focus is entirely on the movie.
I'm surprised this film isn't more loved by more people. This one touched me very deeply and I loved Michele Williams and Ewan McGregor's performances. The cinematography and sound is outstanding. The script was so wonderful - the voice over narration was so good."
Loved it......

""Incendiary" is not only a unique and wonderful story, its captivating!
I'm happy to see at least a few good reviews here, because the movie does'nt seem to be that well known, yet.
While on vacation this past week, I rented a slew of movies, "Reservation Road", "Defiance", "He's Just Not That Into You", "Doubt" along with "Incendiary". All those other movies were good, but they were exactly what I was expecting them to be. "Incendiary" was one of the last movies I watched and it turned out to be the best. In fact it was one of the best movies I've seen in awhile and I watch alot of movies.
I wasn't completely sold on Michele Willams, but Ewan McGregor drew me in and his role ended up being a rather small one. It's a great movie with alot of heart and raw emotion in it, Michelle Williams is the main focus of the movie and she doesn't disappoint.
This is another one of those movies that has a slow build up and it just keeps building up until the climax.
"Incendiary" is based off the book by Chris Cleave, which was originally released right around or on the same day as the July 7th, 2005 London subway terrorist attacks. Follow this link to the book- Incendiary
Highly recommended movie!!
An emotional film, a subpar Blu
Steve Kuehl | Ben Lomond, CA | 04/30/2009
(3 out of 5 stars)
"I hate to admit I was tricked into ordering as many as I did because of the description, trailer and preliminary "thriller" reviews. I'll make this a two part review to be as fair as possible, one part on the mis-marketing and the other on the Blu-Ray product (small spoilers).
The story covers loads of grief, emotions and loss as a woman (Michelle Williams) loses her son and husband in a major terrorist explosion in London. Coincidentally, she is having a tryst (with Ewan McGregor) whilst her family is killed. With extensive flashbacks of her son, coupled together with three other distinct story lines, we get spattered with some bad writing and abbreviated conclusions.
Marketing: The trailer shows the only 80 seconds of activity in the whole film (outside of the sex scene). Case description: "...and discovers the authorities will do anything to cover up the terrifying truth behind it." Once you watch the film you realize how incorrect that statement is. Between being pushed as a thriller and my customers thinking it would be a conspiracy/semi-action film, I think one's expectations should be a little different as to alleviate any disappointment. There is lots of melancholy, sadness, beach footage, regret and a 1000 memorial blimps - not much else.
The Blu looked crisp, but very little color gets used. The clarity did show a variety of errors, including blatant crew reflections in vehicles (not brief either) and the CGI failings during the one stadium sequence. The DTS gets used best during the explosion sequence but not much else except some classical music mix. No extras to speak of, except a brief photo gallery of cast and crew.
There are both adequate and poor/minimal performances, a somewhat graphic sex scene that gets spoiled, and numerous shortcomings in the story that detract from what sounded like an excellent book. I would recommend it as a rental, maybe an owner for those Michelle fans, but overall this did little as a Blu product."

We've all experienced it. The cell phone that suddenly just shuts down, the computer that won't boot, the program that just died in the middle of an important task. As we come up with more and more devices and more and more computer applications we may solve lots of problems or amaze ourselves but we also become more and more dependent on the ever increasing world of technology.
Recently Steve Woznaik (the real inventor of the Apple computer) lamented that even he gets frustrated and concerned about the ever increasing role of computer driven technology in our lives. His big concern - it all fails sooner or later. Read more about his concerns here.
And if you want a few laughs (as if you needed any more from Steve after Dancing with the Stars) check out his recent cameo on Big Bang Theory.
All hail to the Woz!
