As you can see at the Wonderful Grade Level Music shares this week, your children's artwork lit up the entrance way to our seating !!!! Showing LP parents Teachers and students that Artistically Spring has Sprung !!!
R2 Artistes....
Continue forth their look at the Hong Kong environment and all manner of local Temples.Using temple images from around Hong Kong, students have been looking for detail and symmetry, take a peek....
Starting with temple doorways, and the prayers and blessings that are found on each side of the doorway.
As you can see this was perfect job for busy fingers...
|Placing pieces carefully
|Glueing things in place
|Cutting things to size and making some very tiny pieces
Making sure everything is secure
Some very careful looking took place....
The temples are amazing and we haven't finished yet! Watch this space !
Grade One Artist-Scientists
As described last month your Grade One children are currently studying Life cycles in the classroom. In art we have taken a Big Picture approach to this project and having established exactly what a " cycle" is we are looking at the giant cycles that govern our daily lives.
Ask your children what a cycle is............
Check out this website with your children:
As you can see we are creating a on a circular surface and have used our "cycling" arms to set the scene for the solar system.
We then went on to study each planet and your children told us that there are:
four Rocky planets ( ask your children what those are)
and four Gas Giants( ask your children what these are)
We looked at the sizes and features of each planet and then set out to create the right scale of each one using our junk circles.
Then we studied the features and colours, learning how to mix watercolours to recreate the nuanced shades, the special role of Mr White, using Mr Brush Super Softly and allowing water to blend where needed.
Just look at those delicate hands and careful "looking".
Next we went on to cut our planets out and assemble these on our ready and waiting "Outer Space ".
Showing that the planets "cycle" around the sun.
Earth is one of those planets....
Ask your children how long it takes for Earth to travel around the sun.
and.....we are not finished yet.....
Grade Two Observe and Create !
Now, are you wondering why the various teachers have all come into the art room for a lie down ...?
Well it is a tiring job.......but!
They were doing this for the kids!
Your children thoroughly enjoyed this process!
Yes, grade two were working on a Life Drawing challenge!
This was part one of an Observational project where the Art of Drawing is stripped right back and investigated through a few different projects.
This project began with the Question:
What is the difference between a picture and a sculpture ?
Your children told us some answers :
" A sculpture pops out and a picture is flat"
" A picture is 2d and sculpture is 3d "
" You can feel a sculpture"
" A sculpture is made of clay or ice"
" A picture is a drawing but a sculpture is carved "
Then we looked at a picture of Miss Flowers and the "Real Life" sculpture of Miss Flowers from the front, the side, the back and the other side, asking the same basic question, which then led people to realise:
" Oh yes....a drawing is flat and you can only show one side of something but with a sculpture you can show all sides."
With that we introduced the concept of looking at something from all four sides and went to the drawing table where our models were waiting:
Then we used our Observational Protocols to work on sketches of our model from all four sides.( some students were definitely planning to come home and draw you !! I wonder if they did......)
Observational Protocols
1) Use Magic Finger to trace the model
2) Plan a starting point on the page
3) Use Magic finger to map out your sketch on your page
4) Start your outline with pencil
5) Soft whisper touch pencil
The learning that emerged was that everything can look completely different when viewed from a new perspective. Some perspectives are new and strange and require some new problem solving to start a drawing from an odd spot!
People did incredibly well and look at the results!
We concentrated on outlines rather than details so as to have time to work on a whole person.
This project aims to address the two main skills that a " Drawing Ninja" will build in order to become a great artist:
The ability to look and SEE
The ability to use a pencil skilfully
With that the next steps were finding out what our pencil can do for you :
How many shades of grey can we make?
What tricks and techniques can we use to do that?
Ask your children what those tricks are
We went to visit the Middle School sketches to see how many shades of grey could we see in peoples drawings
Gaining inspiration for our upcoming sketching jobs.
Continuing Pencil Ninja techniques we practices drawing to some music
Altering the pressure, direction and patterns, preparing for our next task...which is applying our pencil Ninja skills to a new drawing task.
for the amazing Pencil Ninja Drawings to be completed.....watch this space!!!
Thats all from the artroom for this month, its been a busy time in here!
Do encourage your children to draw you, while your relaxing at home !!
Till Next Month
Miss Flowers and Miss Kirk

Lower Austria: 42-year-old woman loves 14-year-old boy
An unusual couple had to stand trial yesterday in the Lower Austrian court of Wiener Neustadt.
The woman is 42 years old. Her partner only 14 years. They had sex when the boy was only 13 years old. This is not allowed in Austria. The woman received a 22 months jail term on probation. The 42-year-old woman, a professional handball coach, explained that there is a true love between her and him. She accepted the punishment and left the court hand in hand with her now 14-year-old boyfriend. The relationship and the sexual intercourse started several months too early. The 14-year-old boy is now allowed to have a 42-year-old girlfriend, and enjoy sex with her. Now the law has no problem anymore with this kind of relationship.

Mrs. Jo Nell Maxcey Huntington
Submitted by Edgar on Thu, 01/02/2014 - 10:16am
Mrs. Jo Nell Maxcey Huntington passed from this life peacefully at home Sunday morning, December 22, 2013. She would have celebrated her 95th birthday on January 16th, 2014. She was born January 16, 1919 in San Saba County, Texas, the daughter of Kate Adams and C.A. Maxcey. After graduating from Richland Springs High School, she attended college and traveled to Houston where she met and married Robert J. Smith with whom she enjoyed many Jo Nell Maxcey Huntington happy years of marriage until his death in 1967. During these years, she was employed as a claims adjustor for Cravens Dargan and later worked for the Houston Independent School District. She and "Smitty' had much fun with their two Airedale Terriers, Penny and Tex. She began a new chapter in her life when she met and married Fritz H. Huntington. Their life together was one filled with love, laughter, family, and friends. The Santa Fe community was a cherished part of Jo Nell's and Fritz's lives. She was passionate in her service to the Arcadia Christian Church and greatly relished her membership in the community garden club. Aunt Jo was the matriarch of her family as she provided love, support, guidance and even shelter as needed to her siblings and their children. She was so proud of her upbringing, roots, and neighborhood friends who were always watching out for her and kept in touch. A fiercely independent woman she remained at home, caring for herself until too tired to go on. Her family would like to express a special gratitude to lifelong neighbors and friends Gudrin Cokins and Kathy Buchanan for their continuous care and love to our "Aunt Jo". She was preceded in death by her mother, Kate Maxcey; father and step-mother, C.A. and Mary Lee Maxcey; husband, Robert J. Smith; husband, Fritz H. Huntington; brothers, Sam and Mack Maxcey; sisters, Gertrude Hillin, Billie Jo Ragsdale, Maxine Pribble, and Neva McGee; sisters-in-law, Jo Kathryn and R. Lee Maxcey; brothers-in-law R.O. "Buck" Hillin, Herbert Ragsdale and Glenn Pribble; nephews, Tom Brown, Danny Earnest, Cecil Lott, Gary Maxcey, Kim Maxcey, Mack Owen Hillin, Nicky Ragsdale and great nephew Bryan Starnes. Survivors include her nieces and nephews, Peggy and Calvin Henniger, Vaugh Dean Letbetter, Belva Lott, Lavenia Hillin, Margie Lewis, Debbie and Mack Jr. Maxcey, Angela Brown, Mary Chris and Dale Nix, Sylvia and Tommy Hanover, Michelle and Herbie Ragsdale, Jan and Ed Kelly, Melody and Wayne Merritt, Emily and Phil Kite, and Robin Espy; stepdaughter Linda Huntington and a number of great and greatgreat nieces and nephews. She will be greatly missed by all who loved her. Graveside services will be 11:00 a.m. Friday, January 3, 2014, at Hayes Grace Memorial Park Cemetery, with Pastor Jeff Spielman officiating. Visitation will be from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. Thursday at Hayes Funeral Home, 10412 Highway 6, (409) 925-3501. If desired, memorials may be made to the Arcadia Christian Church, Post Office Box 788, Santa Fe, TX 77517. www.HayesFuneralHome.com

Do you write on company time? When the boss is out do you pull up the file with your novel and type away the day? Do you use online novel writing apps that you can easily sneak onto during the workday when things are slow? Do you compose your blog entries at your work desk? Am I the only one? No? Good.
It seems using spare company time is a great way to add pages to your work in progress and/or your blog. Some authors have been known to write their novels on commuter buses & trains. But have you finished or written a major portion of your story while actually on the clock at work?
Join the club.
Not all writers can get away with using company time. Most blue collar jobs do not offer the flexibility in front of a computer station. But if you are a writer with the fortune of having a desk job with autonomy, high cubicle walls or even a fully enclosed office (good on ya) you may have ample time to spend on your writing projects.
I can be a sneaky writer. While I don't have my own office, I share an office with 1-1/2 others (one works part time). My boss is the other inhabitant. When the boss is out, or even off to a meeting, I can easily pull up my word processor and type away (I hereby enter this blog entry as example 1). But even when she is on the other side of the divider concentrating hard on reconciling bank accounts, I can pull up my novel and type quickly and quietly. I'm clocked at 80 wpm so having that skill comes in handy.
If you are also quick on the computer keyboard, use my super-sneaky trick. Open an important-looking Excel spreadsheet up on one window while you type on Word or an internet app. When the boss or someone walks by, simply use the ALT-TAB keystroke to quickly and stealthily switch from your secret project to the important spreadsheet numbers. You avoid the hand-in-the-cookie-jar look of guilt by avoiding the superfast mouse click from one screen to another. And if they glance at your monitor, well, you've obviously been working hard at crunching those numbers. Good job, bean counter!
But here's my disclaimer: if you get caught, don't tell 'em I told ya to do it!
All this is to say WRITE WHENEVER! Your novel won't write itself. Even a few spare moments at work offers an opportunity to add those words. There's no excuse to use the excuse of <whine>"I just don't have time to write."</whine> Get at that keyboard and do what writers do: WRITE AWAY!

By Bill Mulligan – The Obama Administration is announcing its financial system regulatory reform plan today (the "Proposal"). Based upon an initial review of a draft of the Proposal, it contains the following items related to hedge funds:
(1) The Proposal calls for a requirement that advisers to hedge funds and other private pools of capital (such as private equity and venture capital) register as investment advisers with the SEC. The Proposal seems to be suggesting a standard SEC registration requirement (where certain information about the adviser will be publicly-available via the ADV Part 1).
(2) The Proposal calls for a requirement that all funds advised by registered investment advisers (including hedge funds, private equity and venture capital funds) to be subject to:
(3) The Proposal provides that regulatory reporting requirements should be done on a CONFIDENTIAL basis and that such reporting should include:
(4) It should be noted that the Proposal provides that hedge funds and other private pools should also be required to report and confidentially file with the SEC "other information" to determine if "the fund or family of funds is so large, highly leveraged, or interconnected that it poses a threat to financial stability". The Proposal specifically states that the SEC should be required to share such reports with the Federal Reserve so the Federal Reserve can determine whether the fund or family of funds meet certain criteria that would require them to be regulated by the Federal Reserve as "Tier 1 FHCs". Under the proposal, "Tier 1 FHCs" (Financial Holding Companies) would be a new category of entities that are deemed to be in a position to pose a threat to financial stability if such entities were to fail (due to their size, use of leverage and interconnectedness). This goes beyond traditional Bank Holding Companies. As such, under the Proposal Tier 1 FHCs would be subject to much higher regulatory and review standards to be determined and regulated by the Federal Reserve. There are no specifics as to what the size requirement should be in determining Tier 1 FHC status. Under the Proposal, that would be left to the Federal Reserve to determine. It should be noted that, under the Proposal, Tier 1 FHCs should be required to meet qualification requirements in the following areas:
(5) The Proposal calls for a requirement that the SEC be empowered to exam such funds to confirm that all requirements are being met (which may be different across the different types of private pools). Not clear in the Proposal if this audit/exam requirement will be part of exam/audit of adviser or in addition to that requirement.
The stated reason for these requirements is to allow US regulators to collect the data deemed necessary to assess the potential systematic implications of hedge funds and private pools. As we at HedgeOp have stated, this seems to be the direction that regulators are going in on a number of fronts -- confidentially gathering data in potentially problematic areas. This has already started in the area of short selling (per the weekly Form SH filing requirements). Now the same seems to be true for hedge funds and private pools. Next area - maybe use of leverage?
The Proposal does not contain any specific rule proposals. It seems as if the Administration will leave the details to Congress and the applicable regulators to work through.
Bill Mulligan is CEO of HedgeOp Compliance, which assists investment managers with the ever-changing regulatory environment (through consulting services and software applications). HedgeOp presently provides varying levels of compliance and due diligence support to firms with in excess of $40B in AUM from offices in New York and Boston. The HedgeOp team consists of qualified professionals with a wide array of hedge fund, legal and compliance experience, as well as a software development team and IT support staff.

My Rating: B+
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Series: The Rule Breakers #2
Main Characters: Ryder and Zoey
Release Date: January 2017
Publisher: Entangled Publishing
Links to Purchase:
Sexual Intensity: spicy
Story Overview:
1. Don't sleep with the client. It'll get you fired. (Sounds easy enough.)2. Don't blink when new client turns out to be former one-night stand.
3. Don't call same client a jerk for never texting you back.
4. Don't believe client when he says he really, really wanted to call.
5. Remember, the client is always right—so you can't junk punch him when he demands new design after new design.
6. Ignore accelerated heartbeat every time sexy client walks into room.
7. Definitely ignore client's large hands. They just mean he wears big gloves.

9. Whatever you do, don't fall for the client. You'll lose more than your job—maybe even your heart.
10. If all else fails, see rule number one again.
My Review:
This book starts out in the worn out, worn down 70's style era lodge that Zoey has been hired to re-do. I have to admit, much from the 70's, especially the decor, gives me hives. But I loved those really tacky visuals to start out the book. It gave this lodge it's own quirky personality in the story.
The book switches pov's between Ryder and Zoey, but Zoey's head is the funniest, snarkiest place to live. That's where this author's humor really comes through. Zoey is totally deprecating and I love her for it. She spent a single night with Ryder, but learned her lesson when he disappeared in the middle of the night. The sex may have been phenomenal, but she has more self-respect than to put herself in that place again.
But as the two work together on the lodge, Ryder begins to think he made a mistake with Zoey. Already after their single night, he's thought about her way more than anyone else he's ever slept with, but as they work together that gets worse. He wants more, but she won't even consider it. Even if he hadn't completely blown her off the last time they slept together, but now there's the addition of the fact that he's a client. To Zoey, her job is everything. She won't do anything to risk that.
There were lots of little details that made this book a great read. Like I already said, I liked the tacky charm of the lodge. Also having a pro snowboarding hero was a different twist that I liked. It was interesting watching Ryder going through the recuperating of a broken leg and all the uncertainty that brought to his career. I also was really intrigued by Ryder's brother. I imagine it would be tough, but omg, I'd love to see Jason find his happily ever after, too. Zoey cracked me up...the kitchen fiasco was the best.
This was a fun book that was all about the entertainment value. Like the first in the series, I enjoyed it...a lot. I like this author's sense of humor and her dry wit that comes through on pretty much every interaction in the book. It made for a fun, uplifting read.
I received a complimentary copy of this book in return for an honest review.

Male calf is second elephant born in 30 days
FORT WORTH, Texas – Fort Worth Zoo officials are delighted to announce the birth of a healthy, 37.5-inch-tall, nearly 230-pound male Asian elephant calf. Bowie (boo-ee) was born at 7:25 a.m. on August 5, 2013. He is the third calf born at the Fort Worth Zoo, arriving 30 days after the Zoo welcomed a female calf, Belle, in July.
Bluebonnet, the Zoo's 14-year-old Asian elephant, gave birth to Bowie, her first calf, after a nearly 22-month gestation. Bluebonnet was carefully monitored throughout her entire pregnancy: As part of her prenatal care, she received weekly blood tests to monitor progesterone levels, regular physical examinations and sonograms. Genetic testing is being done to determine the calf's paternity.
Bowie (boo-ee) is a name familiar to most Texans. Jim Bowie, a legendary figure of the American frontier, fought valiantly in the Texas Revolution and died at the Alamo.
Bluebonnet was the first elephant born at the Fort Worth Zoo. Her mother, Rasha, delivered Belle, Bluebonnet's full sister, in July 2013. Bowie's August 2013 arrival makes Rasha a grandmother and Belle an aunt – there are now three generations of elephants at the Fort Worth Zoo, which very much mimics how herds are established in the wild. In total, the Zoo is home to seven Asian elephants: four females and three males.
The initial bonding between an elephant calf and its mother is vital to a successful rearing. As the calf gets acclimated to his surroundings, he will be viewable at various times during the day. Those times will be dictated by his activity level.
Since establishing its elephant breeding program in 1986, the Fort Worth Zoo has become an international leader in elephant conservation. Zoo Executive Director Michael Fouraker served as president of the International Elephant Foundation (IEF) for nine years and currently serves on the organization's board of directors and as president-elect of the board.
Listed as endangered since 1976, the Asian elephant is threatened by drastic habitat alteration. The species' ability to reproduce in the wild to offset mortality rates has been questioned as well, due to poaching of male elephants for their ivory tusks. In zoos across North America, reproduction rates are a huge concern, as Asian elephant birth rates are not keeping pace with elephant mortality.
With the elephant population facing so many risks, it is of great importance for zoos to breed Asian elephants for the future conservation of the species. Fort Worth Zoo staff was ecstatic in 1998 after the arrival of Bluebonnet. With a third successful birth, the Zoo continues to establish itself as a leader in elephant breeding and conservation.
The nationally acclaimed Fort Worth Zoo has been ranked the No. 5 zoo in the nation by USA Travel Guide and the No. 1 attraction in the DFW Metroplex by Zagat survey. The Zoo is home to more than 500 animal species and a world-famous reptile collection, housed in the brand new Museum of Living Art (MOLA). The institution's focus on education and conservation is second to none, enhancing the lives of more than 1 million visitors a year.
Statements from local and industry leaders:
What a wonderful surprise to welcome yet another baby elephant to this world here in Fort Worth. This newest addition to our world-class Zoo will bring excitement and joy to so many people – visitors and citizens alike. Thanks to the Fort Worth Zoo's remarkable facilities and staff, I know this baby elephant is in very capable hands. We can't wait to share him with the rest of the world.
Mayor Betsy Price
City of Fort Worth
We want to congratulate the Fort Worth Zoo on their recent elephant births. The successful birth is an important part of the overall program for conserving this species in zoos as an ark against extinction in the wild.
Douglas Myers, President/CEO
San Diego Zoo Global
We are thrilled to hear that Groucho is a grandfather. The birth of every elephant is important, and there are no better ambassadors to inspire visitors to help support zoo conservation efforts to save elephants in the wild. Congratulations to the Fort Worth Zoo!
Jim Breheny, Director
Bronx Zoo
We hope the interest generated from the births of these two wonderful elephants will inspire people to develop an appreciation for elephants and conservation. Watching these baby elephants as they grow will encourage people to consider how they might get involved supporting efforts to conserve Asian elephants in range countries.
Charles Gray, President, Board of Directors
International Elephant Foundation
Elephants in human care contribute to vital research in health, welfare, reproduction and behavior, which directly benefits their wild counterparts. The birth of two Asian elephants at the Fort Worth Zoo is an important, positive step forward to ensure the survival of this endangered species.
Jim Maddy, President and CEO
Association of Zoos and Aquariums
I would like to congratulate Fort Worth Zoo for the second arrival of a newborn elephant this year, at the same time being the third birth of an elephant in the zoo history. While this is a great addition to the zoo based elephant population in the USA, this bull Asian elephant calf will be a perfect company for Belle.

(CNN) -- Authorities evacuated a Bermuda-bound flight at Philadelphia International Airport in Pennsylvania Thursday after one of three people loading the plane didn't appear to belong and suddenly left the area, police said.
It appeared that the man in question was properly credentialed to be in a secure area, but was working on a plane that he wasn't supposed to, FBI spokesman J.J. Klaver said. When he was questioned by the other baggage handlers, the person left in a baggage loading cart, he said.
US Airways Flight 1070 -- which police said was bound for Bermuda with 102 passengers and five crew members -- was towed to a secure part of the airport, where baggage was removed from the plane to be screened by bomb-sniffing dogs.
The plane tested negative for explosives, and the incident is not believed to be terror-related, said Klaver. The investigation was ongoing, he added.
In addition, no narcotics were found on board the plane, said Stephen Sapp of Customs and Border Protection.
"There's nothing explosive, nothing hazardous," Klaver said.
He also said that there was no apparent failure in airport security processes.
Flight 1070 finally departed for Bermuda nearly six hours late.
Federal and local police at the airport had been searching for a man in uniform who was not wearing identification on the tarmac, a law enforcement official told CNN.
"This could be a suspicious person or it could be nothing," the official said.
The rest of the airport was fully operational and not affected by the incident, said spokeswoman Victoria Lupica.
The passengers remained in the terminal, said Todd Lehmacher, spokesman for US Airways. The airline hoped to get them back on the plane and headed for Bermuda once authorities allow it, he said.
CNN's Carol Cratty, Jeanne Meserve, Ross Levitt and Deborah Feyerick contributed to this report.

After receiving my beta invite to Atom I quickly started evaluating how well it could replace Sublime Text as my default text editor. I tested it with all kinds of projects and was quite amazed at how well it worked. However, once I opened an arduino project I quickly noticed the lack of support for syntax highlighting the arduino filetypes. I searched the available public packages and came up empty handed. My first approach to solve this problem was editing the language-c package that ships with Atom and adding the arduino filetypes to it. I really didn't like this implementation though as it didn't allow the flexibility of adding snippets and other options that should only apply to arduino files. I quickly concluded that creating a new package would be the best route to take.
The Atom editor is very friendly when it comes to developing packages to extend its functionality. From the menu bar I simply clicked the Generate Atom Package option and a brand new package was generated and opened in a new editor. Thanks to the help of a Github staff member I was quickly pointed in the right direction on how to simply extend the already included language-c package in my new package. I was able to complete my primary goal for this package in roughly seven lines of cson (coffee-script json).
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
The key line is
'include': 'source.c++', this tells the package to use all of
the c++ grammar. After saving this file I simply ran the command
apm publish 0.1.0 from the package directory and the version was automatically
tagged and published to the packages site.
I then went and added a bunch of snippets to the package. I won't document that process here as the offical documentation already documents it pretty well.

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada's industrial product price index rose 0.3 percent in July from June primarily due to higher prices for energy products and to a lesser extent motor vehicles, Statistics Canada said on Thursday.
Analysts surveyed by Reuters had expected producer prices to rise 0.4 percent in the month following a 0.3 percent increase in June.
A 1.1 percent jump in petroleum and coal products explained much of the rise in July, and the index would have risen just 0.2 percent had those items been excluded, Statscan said.
Similarly, a weakening of the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar in the month had the effect of lifting prices of export goods and Statscan estimated that without that effect the index would have inched up by just 0.1 percent.
Prices for motor vehicles and other transportation equipment gained 0.5 percent, helped by the currency.
Of the 21 major industrial product groups, 10 increased, six fell and five were flat.
Raw materials prices rose 4.2 percent in July, the biggest monthly gain since April 2011, mainly due to petroleum and coal products.
In the year to July, industrial prices rose 1.4 percent and raw materials were up 7.6 percent.

Money is pouring into some of the state's most competitive legislative races as DFLers and Republicans battle for control of the Legislature.
Without a race for governor or other statewide offices on the ballot this year, more money and attention is being focused on battleground legislative districts.
Consider state Rep. Jim Knoblach's race. After facing the most expensive legislative race in state history in 2014, the St. Cloud Republican anticipates he'll need just as much or more money this election season.
Knoblach has raised $84,398 since January 2015, according to the latest state campaign finance records.
That's nearly double what his opponent, DFLer Zachary Dorholt, raised during the same period.
"I expect it'll be another competitive race, and I still expect to be raising more money," said Knoblach.
Knoblach's last election, also against Dorholt, cost nearly $1 million, most of that from outside groups not affiliated with either campaign. Knoblach won by just 69 votes.
The battle for the Capitol is particularly intense this year, as all 201 legislative seats are on the ballot. Republicans are trying to hold control of the House and chip away at the DFL majority in the Senate.
Republicans spent big in the last election cycle to flip the Minnesota House from DFL control, but DFLers are hoping the presidential race will cause a surge of voter interest and sweep them into power in the House.
Another candidate who's raised substantial sums is Republican Dario Arthur Anselmo, who's trying to unseat incumbent DFL Rep. Ron Erhardt in Edina.
Anselmo has taken in $70,270 in the last year and a half. He said he's been helped by knowing a lot of people in business and education.
As in the St. Cloud race, this will be a rematch of a close 2014 race. Anselmo said he intends to raise about $120,000 for the election, one-fifth more than what he took in during the last cycle. He hopes that will be enough to pick up an additional 1,500 voters he believes he needs to win.
"We'll hit them by air, land and sea," he said, referring to plans to spend money on cable TV, internet advertising and social media.
Erhardt pointed out that while Anselmo had raised more money, he has more in the bank: $43,850 on hand (a small edge over Anselmo). He's lining up more fundraising events, including one in August with Garrison Keillor.
DFLer Matt Little of Lakeville has raised $79,721 in the last year and a half in his bid to replace retiring GOP Sen. Dave Thompson.
More than a quarter of his funds came through online contributions, he said, "so that's been a huge help to us."
He's running against Republican Tim Pitcher, who has raised only $41,216.
The level of money flowing into some of the races has forced novice candidates to polish their fundraising skills.
"I went my entire adult life without asking anybody for a single dollar, so fundraising, calling people and asking them to donate, was initially kind of difficult for me, but I definitely got over it," Pitcher said.
One of the biggest fundraisers has been Ilhan Omar, who's locked in a three-way DFL primary for the Minneapolis seat held by longtime Rep. Phyllis Kahn.
Omar has raised $72,917 during that period, significantly outpacing Kahn and Mohamud Noor.
Omar's campaign manager, Daniel Cox, said her success in fundraising came from her grass roots approach, resulting in many small donations from people who normally did not donate to political campaigns. He said Omar still has more fundraisers coming up, "but our biggest priority is talking to the people who are going to make this decision."
The big fundraising totals in those districts mean voters can expect a lot of contact from candidates, in person or otherwise.
Dorholt said he still remembers the weekend in 2014 when voters in his district received 12 mailers in one weekend, mostly from outside organizations.
"I'm a counselor at a community-based mental health center," said Dorholt, who raised $44,353 in the last year and a half. "I don't have a large base of wealthy donors."
He's getting help from a powerhouse DFL fundraiser and organizer.
House Deputy Minority Leader Erin Murphy, DFL-St. Paul, isn't facing a competitive race. But she has used some of her money to contribute to the House DFL caucus and plans to campaign on behalf of Dorholt and other candidates in tough races.
"I'm doing everything I can to put us in a position to take back the majority," Murphy said.

We're two months into 2011 and the number of competing high-end smartphone continues to grow. At the Mobile World Congress, both LG and Samsung showed off their upcoming flagship Android handsets: the LG Optimus 3D and the Samsung Galaxy S II. Samsung has chosen to pack its handset with the latest version of Android and beefy stats, while LG has chosen the more experimental path of glasses-free 3D. But which one comes out on top when the numbers are crunched? Find out below!
Winner: Tie
If you're a big fan of 3D, this decision will bother you immensely. It's difficult to make this decision without actually having the LG Optimus 3D in our hands, we think the clarity and brightness of Samsung's Super AMOLED Plus display is astounding and rivals any display technology on the market. At 480 x 800, its pixel density is equal to the Optimus 3D. Unfortunately, rendering 3D somewhat lowers the fidelity of the image. Both screens clock in at 4.3 inches. If you don't think 3D is a gimmick, the Optimus 3D is the winner here. If you value 2D more, The Galaxy S II has a much crisper, brighter screen.
Operating System
Winner: Samsung Galaxy S II
This isn't really a contest. Though LG has opted for the good, stable Android 2.2, Samsung is supporting Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). Google made a number of needed enhancements to Android, most notably in the visual department. Many of the main Google apps received a visual overhaul for the Dec. 2010 update. In addition, the update also enhances Android's battery management capabilities and multimedia functions. We're sad that more handsets aren't already using 2.3.
Winner: Tie
Both handsets run a 1GHz dual-core processor. While we're sure that one of these processors is faster than the other, for the general consumer, they're about on equal. The Samsung Galaxy S II runs on the 1GHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor and the Optimus 3D is powered by a 1GHz dual-core Texas Instruments OMAP4 processor.
Storage & Memory
Winner: Samsung Galaxy S II
Both handsets are packing a decent amount of storage and memory, but the Galaxy S II double downs the Optimus 3D in both categories. Samsung's new phone packs 16-32GB of internal storage and 1GB of RAM, which is comparable to some of the best phones on the market, like the Motorola Atrix 4G. LG has a respectable 8GB of storage, but the company skimps on the RAM. Optimus includes only 512MB of RAM, which seems a bit light for a phone hoping to display 3D.

Making Decisions In Accordance With God's Will
These are my notes on a lesson that was brought by one of the members of our congregation, David Truong.
It is hard to know God's will.
Psalms 32:8-desire to love and guide us
Matt. 5-7 Sermon on the mount. "Ask and you shall receive, knock…open, seek…find"
Don't worry-just go to God
Rom.12:1-2-"transform by renewing of mind"
Seek God first, then you will figure out his will. What has He revealed to let us know what He wants from us?
1Peter 1:13-"do not conform to evil desires"
vs 22-"now purified"
Psalms -"Lord, how do I live on Your holy mountain?"
Which job should I get? There's no need to lie on resume. You will get a job. No need to impress others-Matt. 6:1-4-like the Pharisees-not for attention
Do 2 things if you are grappling with something–confess your sins and pray about it.
1 John 1:9-"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive our sins…to cleanse us"
Phil. 4:6-"Do not be anxious, in everything by prayer and supplication make your requests made known…"
Psalms-"I cried out, God has surely listened…"
Acts 2:38-39
We all have an expiration date. What can we say about our life by the time we get there?

The budget session of the Andhra Pradesh state legislature began Wednesday on a stormy note with the opposition Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) disrupting state governor E.S.L. Narasimhan's address to the joint session of both houses.
Raising slogans of "Jai Telangana", the TRS legislators tore papers of the governor's speech and threw them at him. The governor's security personnel stood as a shield, protecting him from the papers flung at him.
Noisy scenes were witnessed the moment the governor began his address. TRS members shouted: "Jai Telangana!" and "Governor go back!". They were joined by members of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
The TRS alleged that the governor was trying to stall the formation of a separate Telangana state. Unfazed by the slogan shouting, the governor rushed through his prepared text.
After completing his speech, the governor, sporting a smile, greeted all the members with folded hands.
Main opposition Telugu Desam Party (TDP), Communist Party of India (CPI) and Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) boycotted the governor's address, terming the speech a "pack of lies".
The TDP legislators reached the assembly with lanterns and empty pots to protest the government's failure to overcome shortage of electricity and drinking water.
In 2011 too, the governor was heckled by TRS and some TDP members from Telangana during his address on the first day of the budget session.

I used to very rarely get colds or anything worse. I felt quite physically strong. Not wonderfully fit, but strong. Over the last two years I seem to have picked up everything going around, one sickness tailing off only for another to kick in. It's tiring mentally as well as physically to not feel great a lot of the time.
Stress and depression could be a logical culprit; your immune system is so easily affected by them. My therapist suggests on and off that perhaps it's my body trying to talk to me (and I've then wondered if it's my body trying to SCREAM at me), trying to tell me something. 'But what's it saying?' is my usual response to myself.
While I'm a LOT less depressed now, I also know that I could be more relaxed than I am. I know that. But knowing something is always much easier than changing something.
I've had periods since Sofia died when my hair fell out. I've had periods when my body was covered in eczema. And I've had periods of having one cold after the other. If all of this has been my body telling me to take care of myself and be less stressed, then thanks body, but I already know that and I AM trying to get better.

I was honored to recently be asked to be a guest blogger for the Military Special Needs Network for Down Syndrome Awareness Month.
My post was about the abilities and individuality of people with Down syndrome, and of course Kayla in particular. It was about how having Kayla has not limited our family life.
"Down syndrome is a condition Kayla has. It is something she was born
with; an extra chromosome. It isn't the whole of who she is, it is just
something that is part
of her. She is her own person with her own personality. She is this
incredible little girl with bright, sparkling eyes and a smile that
lights up her face. She is a military brat – going with the flow and
adjusting with relative ease to transitions to new homes and new
schools. She is a big sister who adores, and sometimes fights with, her
brother. She is strong-willed, energetic, empathetic, and full of love
and friendship. She is so much more than Down syndrome. We are raising
her to be a confident, independent self-advocate."
The rest of my post is at Fridays with Friends: Down Syndrome Awareness.

If you know me at all, you know that one my my life bucket list items is to own a little beach house of my own. There is something therapeutic about being by the ocean, and something that appeals to me to no end about being able to hear the sound of the water coupled with falling asleep with the cool breeze floating in. I thought I'd share some of the images that have appealed to me lately as I think about taking the plunge into beach house ownership.

Likeable Diy Small Kitchen Table Of Full Size Of Wheels Sets Lighting Design, red is known as a "warm" shading, while Blues and green are "cold". The red and encompassing regions are "alluring and dynamic" while the blue, purple and green hues disprove "latently and grab". Splendid hues move toward becoming "dynamic" while profound hues can be "latent". Consider white rooms versus rooms painted in profound or level green seekers. The area of a few low light dimensions in the room and that is, where light is consumed by the divider, while the white divider reflects light and actuates space. Shading that actuates space, for example, redness, additionally assumes control over the sensory system, while in reverse shading discharges, and quiets nerves.
Clearly, that is the primary deciding element throughout everyday life. How you can utilize this to influence your space to reflect you. In reality it's not troublesome. Discover CENTERPIECE! Discover something that intrigues you and attracts you there a positive way. Something that puts your head in the zone where the world blurs. I regularly take shells while strolling on the shoreline and see the cream, lavender, blue and dark hues found there. Nature is truly adept at joining palettes. Dark, white and dim, splendid green, pink and yellow blooms, blurred blue to dark at dusk, further shades of falling slopes, all of which give a wellspring of motivation. A few people like the shade of the earth, some Caribbean pastels, a few dawns are opened, some are Times Square during the evening. Locate the focal point of consideration for your space, an article that contains shading and what I call "enthusiastic vitality" that you like. Something that satisfies you when you see it, something in it makes you feel better.

Lochloosa homeowners can skip this tedious job entirely by employing an expert cleaning service provider that specializes in move out cleaning services. Move out cleaning is specifically developed to have properties ready for those moving in to settle in as soon as possible. Having the house cleaned extensively prior to you move out refers common courtesy if nothing else, however in some cases it is an obligatory requirement, especially if you're a former renter.
That there are lots of reasons why it is imminent for Lochloosa tenants to employ an expert house cleaning company when they are moving in or moving out. There is nothing basic about a move out. So many jobs have to be achieved offered a short period of time. The scope of the cleaning requirements that need to be done can be overwhelming indeed, especially if the tenant is strained with work and other commitments. Windows needs to be wiped down, radiators have to be cleaned, tiles need to be spotless, and kitchen cupboards should be emptied out. Existing home furnishings have to be cleaned and carpeting have to be completely cleaned.
Preparing for move out cleaning.
The agreement signed by the homeowner and the renter normally includes a clause that binds the latter to leave the home as they had actually discovered it-empty, excellent, and undamaged. In addition, for tenants who have actually decided to move out, the proprietor may add service charges against deposit dollars if certain areas are not cleaned out.
Cleaning is definitely not the priority for somebody who is confronted with the formidable challenges of settling into a new place and beginning a new life. There are so many things that need to be accomplished in so little time, not the least which is finishing work and other requirements prior to the move. In order to satisfy their end of the arrangement, the more practical choice for the renter is to hire Lochloosa expert cleaning service provider, as opposed to do the cleaning up themselves.
The main benefit of hiring Lochloosa professional cleaning service company is that they can do the job better and more effectively. This depends on the quality of the cleaning crew, but nowadays it is not difficult to find a provider that is guaranteed to do an outstanding job. A cleaning crew can work miracles, and restore a location that has been stayed in for rather some time into an area that is nearly brand new. To all set the place for its next resident, a professional crew needs to eliminate grease, gunk, cakes of dirt, and dust balls from difficult to reach areas. They understand ways to perform these tasks efficiently. An individual without sufficient experience in using cleaning tools and cleaning solutions would not know exactly what sort of material to make use of to get rid of a specific type of stain.
Exactly what to expect when moving in
Moving into a new place in Lochloosa can be stressful. Expert cleaning companies offer not just end-of-tenancy cleaning services.
Your checklist prior to moving out:
Before you leave your home, check for damaged issues and see to it you replace all of them. In case you forget to change such things like light fixtures or missing screws, it is likely that your property owner would take a huge portion off your initial deposit for these petty things.
If the house has wall to wall carpets, you will have to choose between hiring an expert to clean it or turning to cleaning it on your own. This choice would be easy if you take a look at the existing condition of the carpet and match it to the initial state. Bringing it to the initial condition should be your objective when you make this choice.
You should also check the walls to see if there are stains on them. Walls with stains can be a huge issue due to direct visibility. Make sure you get rid of wall-stains with a moderate hand to prevent wearing down the paint due to the fact that if that occurs, you will certainly lose a big chunk of your deposit funds.
After you have actually done all the cleaning, make sure that you check the fridges and ovens. The seals of the refrigerators have to be in appropriate condition, and the ovens must be clean enough for usage. When vacating in Lochloosa, these checks will certainly enhance the probabilities of getting the deposit amount in full.
Quick Tip for Lochloosa residentsThere are literally dozens of companies that provide move out cleaning and steam carpeting cleaning throughout where you live, and picking the ideal one will suggest a hassle-free, easy move-out experience and hundreds of dollars of savings. If you are on a tight schedule for moving out of your existing home, book as far in advance as possible.

Tonight we will have a waning Gibbous moon in Cancer with the sun in Sagittarius. It's all very complicated and interesting, isn't it? See the current moon calendar here. I don't really follow the astrological signs but plenty of people do. My mother used to be a dental assistant and one patient wouldn't have any dental work done if the sign was in the head.

This is a campaign proposal, I'm making to other SmartVote members. So 'we' from hereon means SmartVote.
To begin, here's a photo I took from a May Day mela organized by MKSS in Bhim, Rajasthan. It shows what is possible :-)
According to the 74th Amendment to the Constitution (Nagapalika Act), Ward Sabhas (meetings) are supposed to be organized every 3 months, where Ward Committee members meet the citizens of the ward. Ward Sabha being the 'parliament' to which, the ward committee 'cabinet' is answerable.
Since no such meetings are happening, we can organize them ourselves. In our case, merely getting the Councillor to meet the citizens would suffice. We had promised to help create a Citizen's council and organize meetings with the Councillor in Koramangala Ward 151.
As part of our Ward Sabha campaign, We can go to a Ward, talk to the councillor, RWAs, local papers, few active citizens and convince them to come to their Ward Office, the first Sunday of a month and just meet each other. We'll be doing this only once per ward. We will request the group to take it forward in subsequent quarters.
We have about 34 months to the 2013 assembly election. There are 28 assembly constituencies in Bengaluru. So we can realistically try to organize 28 such wards sabhas (one per constituency) before we get busy with any program for the assembly election.
What can be done in a Ward Sabha?
1. Citizens can quiz the Councillor on issues concerning their ward. This is an achievement in itself.
2. Form 6 or Form 7 to register/remove names from voter rolls can be distributed. We can invite volunteers from Janagraha/Jaagore too. We can also encourage the citizens to organize Voter registration Melas.
3. Citizens can be informed of published voter rolls, upcoming census, pulse polio campaign or income tax filing event at palace grounds, so that they can plan to make use of the opportunities.
4. BBMP, BESCOM, BWSSB workers can meet the citizens so that there is an amicable relationship between them. So the next time, there is an overflowing drain somewhere, a concerned citizen can perhaps call the local BWSSB worker him/herself, instead of complaining at higher levels and putting the workers in a spot.
5. Some active citizens can cajole others to join them in cleaning up a lake/canal or garbage dump in their ward. Or atleast signing petitions towards such causes.
6. Citizens can inform each other about their attempts in Solid waste management or rain water harvesting. And explore the possibility of implementing them in their localities.
Applying some of Ashwin Mahesh's broad guidelines in building our organization.
1. Be fast, seem to be doing stuff.
Organizing a ward sabha every month will turn out to be a pretty hectic activity. There will be enough work for every smartvote member to contribute. This will also help prevent our group from fizzling out. And we will be noticed. More people across Bengaluru will come to know about us. We will get more volunteers. Media will understand us better. Politicians may eventually take us seriously.
2. Confusion is good. Be seen everywhere.
At ward sabhas, we can propose any number of ideas and see if there are any takers. Educating children on civic issues, provoking people to file RTI petitions, PILs against ward reservation, RWA verification of voter rolls, plant trees on the roadside etc. Wherever citizens are willing to try them, we can get involved as volunteers.
3. Intervene, go tell the govt, what to do.
Councillor may want to listen to our ideas and offer it elsewhere. If we are successful in bringing ARO or any official from the para-state bodies to these meetings, we can propose our (process, not policy) ideas to them. Say, we can offer to thoroughly verify and clean up the voter list in a ward as a pilot project.
4. Build an Ecosystem.
There are folks like CIVIC, who are working towards broader implementation of the 74th Amendment. Any plan for Bengaluru will be lot more successful if done by the MPC (Metropolitan Planning Committee) as proposed by that amendment with proper oversight over BDA, BBMP et al. Our Ward Sabha effort may help such larger campaigns.
Besides, if Ward Sabhas become regualr events, we will provide citizens and other voluntary organizations, a platform to work on. Any number of civic groups can come and try to catch the attention of the citizens. CMCA, Janagraha, Jaagore, Greenpeace, rain water club etc. Heck, even the kadlekai/chai/goli soda guys might get some business.
Why organizing Ward Sabhas may help other competing SmartVote proposals?
1. Certifying or block vote to 'Good' candidates:
At present, why would candidates come to us to get certified? Or how will we make a good candidate win? If Lok Satta or SBPP or CPM can't make 'Good' candidates win in Bengaluru, what chance do we have? Why would people listen to us? Becos we have money and can print pamphlets? To even have an outside chance of influencing election outcomes, we need credible ground work for a reasonably long period of time. Organizing 28 ward shabhas in 3 years may give us some credibility. Let us revisit this idea, 3 years from now and see if its feasible.
2. Policy intervention:
Again, what expertise or experience do we claim as a group to influence public policy? If we organize ward sabhas, and hence mobilize voter registrations/cleanup and provoke wider citizen-councillor-bureaucrat cooperation for the next three years, we can gain some experience in Urban civic governance and maintenance of public records.
This is a blog for entries on politics, economics, current affairs, religion, history, philosophy and travel. I mostly muse on events concerning India.

A SmartVote Case for Organizing Ward Sabhas in Bengaluru

But who will pay for organizing the Ward Sabhas?

hmm, i can't think of any expense in organizing a Ward Sabha.
any public park or school would do. or in the absence of which, laying a carpet in a public building (BBMP contact point) is just fine.
ofcourse we at Smartvote can incur some expense, if needed.

In this lesson, Mike continues to preach from the book of Nehemiah.
The people that God has called for service in Scripture are…well…unique. Moses? Murderer. Rahab? Prostitute. David? Murderer. Paul? Murderer.
A tent maker. A tax collector. A zealot.
Upon reflection, it's hard to comprehend why God chooses…the unqualified. So, why were they chosen? What were their qualifications?
Does God look at your past, or something else?
"I set out during the night with a few others. I had not told anyone what my God had put in my heart to do for Jerusalem. There were no mounts with me except the one I was riding on."
Nehemiah 2:12 (NIV)

Just Me
This is my first blog. I tired to think of a "theme", but couldn't come up with anything really stand-out. Then I realized I am not a theme. I am a photographer so I'll post pictures I take. I'm a writer, so I'll write. I'm inspired by the beauty of people's truth, how we're all so similar, so I'll post snippets of things that move me. I'm a Beatlemaniac and Pearl Jam groover, I'll post my musings. I get a kick out of this life's journey, so I'll post my insights and experiences. In essence a bit of everything, just like me.
