ScalaLab Jan15
The ScalaLab project aims to provide an efficient scientific programming environment for the Java Virtual Machine. The scripting language is based on the Scala programming language enhanced with high level scientific operators and with an integrated environment that provides a MATLAB-like working style. Also, all the huge libraries of Java scientific code can be easily accessible (and many times with a more convenient syntax). The main potential of the ScalaLab is numerical code speed and flexibility. The statically typed Scala language can provide speeds of scripting code similar to pure Java. A major design priority of ScalaLab is its user-friendly interface. We like the user to enjoy writing scientific code, and with this objective we design the whole framework.
The MATLAB-like mathematical DSL of ScalaLab is termed ScalaSci , and is developed as an internal DSL, by exploiting the superb extensibility of the Scala language.

I think one of the "the best deals in the industry" for a business owner is Bright Local. Nothing else I've found offers so much for so little, and that's why we use it for ALL of our local clients for the past few years.
For a savvy business owner or internet marketing company who manages multiple clients, Whitespark can meet all of your needs too, and Moz Local is also a very good choice.
Have zero budget? Then I'd recommend doing these 8 yourself: ExpressUpdateUSA, Axciom, Localeze, Factual, Google MyBusiness, Bing, Yelp, and Yahoo (if you can).

And the virtual hugs.
Y'all are good people. Real good.
I've been having a tough time blogging lately and not sharing what was really going on. So again, thanks for letting me switch gears for a day.
Rembrandt was kind enough to send me their tHERSday kit, a little goody bag with some fun drug store essentials. Essie nail polish, pretty marimekko napkins and a cocktail are definitely happening tonight. I'm not big on manicures but I'm thinking of trying it out tonight in either mademoiselle or geranium.
Do you go bold or pastel with your manicures?

Windows Vista by default uses NTFS file system. Sooner or later files on it will start to fragment.
Fragmentation can lead to significant disk I/O performance decrease. Common way how to handle this problem is a process called defragmentation
It turns out that Vista's defragmentation tools is little bit oversimplified
As you can see, user interface lacks volume fragmentation information. So it is hard to say whether my volume needs defragmentation.
Be afraid not as Vista has command-line based tool - defrag.exe.
Windows Disk Defragmenter
Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corp.
Description: Locates and consolidates fragmented files on local volumes to
improve system performance.
Syntax: defrag
defrag -c [{-r | -w}] [-f] [-v]
Value Description
be defragmented or analyzed.
-c Defragments all volumes on this computer.
-a Performs fragmentation analysis only.
-r Performs partial defragmentation (default). Attempts to
consolidate only fragments smaller than 64 megabytes (MB).
-w Performs full defragmentation. Attempts to consolidate all file
fragments, regardless of their size.
-f Forces defragmentation of the volume when free space is low.
-v Specifies verbose mode. The defragmentation and analysis output
is more detailed.
-? Displays this help information.
defrag d:
defrag d:\vol\mountpoint -w -f
defrag d: -a -v
defrag -c -v
Here's sample output on my system volume (C:),
defrag c: -a
Windows Disk Defragmenter
Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corp.
Analysis report for volume C: VISTA
Volume size = 70.00 GB
Free space = 21.84 GB
Largest free space extent = 6.20 GB
Percent file fragmentation = 4 %
Note: On NTFS volumes, file fragments larger than 64MB are not included in the fragmentation statistics
You do not need to defragment this volume.
It is also possible to increase the amount of information returned by the tool, just specify -v switch.
Now we have some information about disk fragmentation and hence can decide when to start defragmentation process.
P.S. I had a strange filling when writing this post. In an operating system like Windows Vista with redesigned user interface it is awkward too use command-line tools to perform common task like disk defragmentation.

Image Watermarking
We all know that when image is posted on the internet it no longer belongs to you.
It can be arguable, but nevertheless, any user with browser can simply save it on HDD and you can do nothing about it.
One of the ways how to control image distribution is Digital watermarking.
In my case I had ~100 images that had to be watermarked. There are two ways how to do this: manually (e.g using Photoshop) or write some code to do the job automatically.
In case of simple watermarks: horizontal/vertical text everything is simple, but things become harder when watermark text should be positioned diagonally.
After poking around the web I found this brilliant article. The code did it job well, so I wired it into small console app, and voilà - 105 files watermaked in less then 20 seconds.

My son and I are in the store and he wants to buy something. He knew we were going to the store ahead of time, but he said he didn't want to bring any money with him. But, since he now wants to buy something, we get to have a conversation about the difference between a loan and a gift.
I will, of course, loan him the money to make his purchase, because he still too young to carry a wallet everywhere he goes and definitely too young to have a credit card. Eventually, he will get a debit card and that will be another series of conversations, but for the moment, I wanted him to understand that a loan meant he would pay me back when we got home. A gift would be if I just bought the item for him.
He understood, we made the purchase and he paid me back when we got home.
It seems like a trivial thing to point out to him, except that I know that adults have trouble distinguishing between those two terms - especially when it comes to family. The charts on that article link tell me that while people may have the best of intentions in repaying a loan, a lot of those funds will never be seen again. And since a lot of money changing hands is between parents and their children, it's important to get everyone in the habit of setting expectations early.
How do you feel about lending money to family members? Tell me your thoughts in the comments.

The 2019 NIGHT OWL RUN is September 6th!
Thank you Hunter D'Antuono for the images from the 2018 Night Owl Run – please click here to see all images!
More details about the 2019 Run will be added in May 2019
Thanks for supporting us in 2018
Online registration is now CLOSED
The 2019 Run will be capped at 406 participants
Night Owl Run Details:
The Night Owl Run is a fun run (or walk), on a 4.06 mile course (because of Montana's famous 406 area code – the only area code) with multiple prizes for 1st, 2nd, 3rd male and female participants and 15th, 50th and 75th place overall. Youngest and most seasoned participants and male and female 1st place Master's Division participants also receive prizes.
A $50 cash prize is awarded for the best owl costume for one adult; however, it must be worn during the run!
Bratwurst, burgers and healthy fruit and veggies are served at the post-race barbecue with fruit and plenty of water to go around. Participants 21 years of age and older also receive a free Night Owl pint glass filled with beer of choice (usually with at least one or two refills) at the barbecue area. Participants under 21 years of age receive a gift donated by area retailers and businesses!
The course starts off with a downhill grade for about one mile on a very rocky road – they don't call it Old Boulder Road for nothing! It then moves into a great trail section alongside the mighty Yellowstone River. After you cross the Yellowstone River via the Hwy 89 bridge, you cross through private land (thank you Chris and Julie Benden) and venture onto the letter streets of Livingston. From there you follow Lewis Street all the way to 2nd Street. From there you can sprint a few blocks to the finish! We have one water station along the way (at mile 2) and we encourage runners and walkers to carry their own water in case they like a lot of hydration along the way.
The run starts at 7 p.m. and is 4.06 miles. If you are a walker and you like to walk a leisurely pace, please bring a head lamp or flashlight. There are street lights as you get near mile 3 but it never hurts to have additional torches to light your way. If you are needing more hydration than our one water station provides, please carry water with you.
In the past nine years, the Night Owl Run has raised over $47,000 with all proceeds donated back to local education and youth organizations and programs.

The Malaysian Star has a nice opinion piece titled Do more to boost info literacy by Larry Heah. Although not developed, I found his arguments about commercials on TV and how this ties into information literacy interesting.
From the site:
Information literacy or the ability to use information technology to learn, create and live is a challenge in developing countries that have no access and means to implement the necessary infrastructure to develop the citizens' interests and ability to use technology.
In Malaysia, we have a high literacy rate but most graduates are not prepared to meet the demands of learning and using computers in their daily work and lives.
The accessibility and use of the web is dependent on the Internet experience and other factors specific to the needs of various groups of users.
As we gradually adopt the use of technology, we need more effective and efficient services that are publicly available, some of which have become a necessity in many households today.

In the 2005 national census, the population of the city of Granada proper was 236,982, and the population of the entire urban area was estimated to be 472,638, ranking as the 13th-largest urban area of Spain. About 3.3% of the population did not hold Spanish citizenship, the largest number of these people (31%) coming from South America. Its nearest airport is Federico García Lorca Granada-Jaén Airport.
The Alhambra, a Moorish citadel and palace, is in Granada. It is the most renowned building of the Andalusian Islamic historical legacy with its many cultural attractions that make Granada a popular destination among the touristic cities of Spain. The Almohad influence on architecture is preserved in the area of the city called the Albaicín with its fine examples of Moorish and Morisco construction. Granada is also well-known within Spain for the prestigious University of Granada which has about 80,000 students spread over five different campuses in the city. The pomegranate (in Spanish, granada) is the heraldic device of Granada.

Cats Lead at Bruin Wave Invite
March 1, 2010
SANTA CLARITA, Calif. - Sophomore Nikki Koller and junior Alejandra Llaneza each carded 4-under rounds of 68 to lead Arizona to the first round lead at the inaugural Bruin Wave Invitational, Monday afternoon at the Robinson Ranch Golf Club Valley Course.
The Wildcats shot 283 on the day and hold a three-shot lead over USC and tournament co-host UCLA at 2-under par. Fellow co-host Pepperdine is in fourth place at even par while Stanford and Washington finished the day at 4-over par to complete the top five.
Both players carded bogey-free rounds over the 6,282-yard course to sit one shot off the lead jointly held by Danielle Kang of co-host Pepperdine and Molly Aronsson of Washington. Koller used a stretch of three birdies over holes 4, 7 and 8 to go out in 33, then birdied the par-4 16th hole to wrap up her near flawless round.
Llaneza balanced her four birdies over both sets of nine holes, opening her round with a birdie on the par-4 1st hole. She also finished her round by besting the 18th hole to go along with birdies on the 4th and 12th holes. The pair share 3rd place with Belen Mozo of USC.
Sophomore Isabelle Boineau finished strong to complete her round at 1-over 73, carding back-to-back birdies on the 16th and 17th holes. Fellow sophomore Margarita Ramos was a shot back at 2-over par while Sherlyn Popelka shot 79 on the day.
Second round play is scheduled to begin on the Valley Course at 8:00 a.m. (PT)

Tile Roof (3"x3")
The tile roof pattern is great for those warmer climate bandits going from roof to roof. With a different paint scheme it could be a good fight spot for a couple of ninjas on a bamboo roof.
Our stamps are made in the USA from synthetic rubber similar to tire rubber. The size refers to the actual texture area. They are perfect for making themed artistic bases that only look like you spent a lot of time or money on your project.
The main sample is stamped on a 50mm base with 'green stuff'.

The first farmer showed his grain to a merchant[1], who was so impressed with the grain that he bought the rights from the farmer to winnow, mill and bake the grain into bread and then sold the bread to shops, in return for a small amount of the sale of each loaf. The merchant made more money than the farmer, but had risked a great deal of his own money paying for winnowing, milling, baking and promoting the bread, while the farmers job essentially stopped after harvest[2]
The second farmer, who had heard that merchants and grain agents were very picky about grain these days, really just wanted people to eat his wheat. He sometimes paid others to winnow mill or bake the grain into bread, sometimes did it himself, and negotiated himself with the shop owners. While he spent a lot of his own money and time, he kept all the money that the shopkeepers gave him, and all the money from the bread he sold himself. One year, his grain made fantastic bread which was so popular a merchant approached him for rights to his grain (see first farmer).[3]
The third farmer was approached by a man who called himself a merchant, who praised his grain to the skies. He said it was just the grain he was looking for, and would be happy to pay the farmer for the rights to his grain. Only, wasn't it fair that the farmer should contribute to the costs of winnowing, milling, baking and selling to the shops? The farmer, somewhat impressed that anyone would want to buy his grain in the depressed bread market, paid the merchant (who had many stories of how successful people had been making their own grain into bread). The merchant then promised the farmer that he would get a substantial proportion of the sales of the bread, and an even bigger proportion of the money he made from any he sold himself.
And when the other farmers heard about this they said "Dude, seriously, you've already paid them to winnow, mill and bake the bread that you're selling yourself, why give them one red cent extra?"
The third farmer then found that the winnowing, milling and baking wasn't much good. And, to be honest, his loaves were just plumped onto the shelves of big bread stores without any promotion, getting lost in the proliferation of loaves. In fact, if he tried selling any of that grain by himself, the merchant would tell him he couldn't, he could only sell grain through the merchant (who was beginning to look a lot like Robert Carlyle in Once Upon a Time).
His "merchant" wasn't bothered, as he'd already been paid, and actually made most of his money from charging farmers for processing their own grain.
And there were always more farmers desperate to get their grain made into bread.
[1] Actually, he first showed it to a grain agent, who was so impressed he agreed to negotiate the contract with the merchant for a consideration of the revenue, but that's by the by.
[2] The merchant also paid for options on next years crop, and first refusal on any oats, barley, etc the farmer may produce, but that's by the by
[3] He also paid for the rights to make and sell bread from previous years grain harvests. YOU SEE, THIS IS ALL A METAPHOR.

For over 30 years, Sun Mountain has been the innovative force behind certain products that we as golfers might have taken for granted. When we think golf equipment, we often think of only our clubs. Sure our clubs are important but how are you going to carry them?
Or better yet, does it fit on a push cart or riding cart and how light, comfortable and convenient is your bag when you walk? The thing I love about Sun Mountain is that they have all your needs covered. Whether you use a push cart, ride or walk there is a bag for you. Plus, many of their current bags accommodate the golfer that needs it for all.
First introduced in 1981, the Front 9 bag from Sun Mountain was designed to be a small lightweight carry bag. For 2014, Sun Mountain re-designed the Front 9 bag to not only carry on as the lightweight champ of bags, but added many of the features to the bag we would expect from a much larger stand bag. Weighing only 3.8 lbs, the Front 9 bag offers six pockets including a beverage pouch, velour-lined valuables pocket, full-length clothing pocket and accessory pockets. The newly designed 8.5" oval top has 3 full length club dividers and has a flared opening to help get your clubs (all 14) in and out with no problem.
- The carry straps are contoured to provide maximum comfort.
- Top is flared for easy club retrieval.
- There are 6 pockets including a beverage pouch and velour-lined valuables pocket.
- The carry straps attach to the top, moving the center of gravity of the bag resulting in a more balanced bag and an easier carry.
- For riding cart use, we added a cart-friendly bottom and leg lock system.
I am going to go out on a limb here and say that I believe the Front 9 bag from Sun Mountain has been the most versatile bag I have tested from the brand. No matter your mood for the day, the Front 9 bag can be used with the micro cart (or any push cart) or can be placed in the back of an electric cart without any problems. But where the Front 9 really shines is strapped to your shoulders as you walk the course. For more info on the Front9 bag or other Sun Mountain bags and accessories, visit www.sunmountain.com

Marbleized Flower Pot
A marbleizing technique involves gently swirling several glazes without fully blending them. Glazes tht are too fluid will continue to blend during firing; Foundations and Stroke & Coat are good to use for marbleizing.
Products Used
- MB-1266 - Round Pot
- FN-009 - Black
- FN-203 - Dry Champagne
- FN-220 - Sooty Grey
- FN-221 - Milk Glass
- AC-219 - Designer Bottle with Writer Tip
- CB-604 - #4 Soft Fan
- BT-910 - Synthetic Sponges
Additional Materials
- Straight Pin: optional, but dragging the pin through the glazes will help with the marbleizing effect
- Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
- Using a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 1 coat of FN-221 Milk Glass on the outside of the pot.
- Fill 3 separate AC-219 Designer Bottles with the following colors: FN-203 Dry Champagne, FN-220 Sooty Grey and FN-221 Milk Glass. Add a few drops of water to slightly thin. This will make the glaze move easier. Too much water will make the glaze run off the piece. Mix each well. Note: Do not use the metal tip, just the plastic.
- Squeeze each of the glazes, FN-203 Dry Champagne, FN-220 Sooty Grey and FN-221 Milk Glass, onto the piece in a spiral pattern then rotate the piece so the glazes start to blend into one another. If there are any blank areas, add more FN-221 Milk Glass. Continue around the piece until all the outside is covered. Allow to dry.
- Using a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 2- 3 coats of FN-009 Black on the inside of the pot. Allow to dry.
- Stilt and fire to shelf cone 06.

Update - November 17th, 1:00 PM PST (9:00 PM GMT):
Hi all!
Just a quick update on our progress. Our network team has done really great work to keep things running more smoothly over the last few days. We do still have occasional disconnects but we recover very quickly. The new router hardware is arriving this week and we'll start the process of getting everything hooked up and tested as soon as possible.
We are also working with third party Internet providers so we'll likely make the switch over to the new hardware on a weekday rather than bringing it online over the weekend (just to be sure to avoid any extended downtime).
We'll continue to update you with the latest as new info comes in. Thanks everyone!
3:00 PM, November 14 Update
Hey all, we have a new update on our progress in tackling these recent network issues. Over the weekend our network team performed a variety of mitigation steps to make your experience better, and we're happy to report that those steps have improved our stability. Some of you have also let us know that things have been better during your play over the weekend. However, the underlying causes of these issues have still not been fully fixed, and our team is still tackling the problem. You may continue to see some infrequent drops or continued periods of lag in the days to come.
We know that many of you have been impacted by all of these issues, and we're sorry that they've impacted your play in the first place. Compensation packages will be sent after our network is back at 100% and everyone can reliably enjoy their favorite games, with a caveat: in RIFT's case, we will advise of the package components after Starfall Prophecy launches, as that huge behemoth needs to get to the finish line!
We'd rather not send them early, so we can make sure we're fairly making these packages based on how long this process may take.
Thank you for adventuring in all of our worlds, even through this period of issues. We appreciate having each and every one of you here, and we'll get this fixed so you can go back to the important stuff: endless adventure!
Your Friends at Trion Worlds
Update 12:30PM: Network stability has improved, and so we are provisionally unlocking the NA shards while this is true. We are paying rapt attention to the situation, and this situation may change again in the future.
Update 11:30AM: Due to the frustration of instability, we've decided to lock the NA servers until further notice. We're working hard to fix this issue, and will keep you posted with any updates.
Greetings everyone,
We know the last two days of disconnects and lag have hurt your gameplay, and we want you to know that our teams have been working as hard as possible to get everything back to normal. We've identified two network issues that are causing troubles for those of you connecting to our Dallas (North America) datacenter. One is a network equipment issue on our side, and the other is an internet service issue outside of our network. Both of these issues happening simultaneously is leading to the unusual performance everyone has been recently experiencing.
We are incredibly sorry about this, and getting our network back to 100% is our #1 priority. We're working with outside providers and our internal hardware teams to get both of these issues squared away. However, it is possible that these disconnects may continue to occur intermittently through the beginning of the weekend.
We're making note of what customers are affected by this, and we'll follow up with all of you once these issues have been resolved. Thanks for sticking with us through this, and we look forward to getting all of you back in the game!
The RIFT Team
UPDATE by BRASSE (also posted to the end of this thread):
Hey folks,
With the network connection issues over the last few days we know many of you are concerned with your Patron status or just lost time playing in Telara. This has been a bad experience all around for you guys and for us. We want to let everyone know the plan moving forward into the weekend.
- We're putting together compensation for everyone who has logged in since these issues started. This is something we'll post once we've resolved the issue and everyone is able to get in and play normally. Until then, there's no sense trying to predict how much we need to account for.
- Until the network issue is completely resolved we will have ongoing disconnects. We have people watching around the clock and will do everything we can to get the games up and running as quickly as possible when we do come offline.
Our network team is working to resolve these issues all day, even on weekends. If we do have disconnects, rest assured we're on it and it's our top priority. Please hang in there a bit longer.
We're all in this together!

Must leave this here until the Busways custom main menu is turned into a block
Bus Stop Timetables
There are a few ways to find out the bus times that depart your bus stop:
- Visit Transport Info and use their 'plan your trip' tool. If you know the TSN (Transit Stop Number) you can type it straight in, or alternatively search by street/suburb. This facility searches by a specific day, so you can be sure you'll be getting the right times, even if timetables are changing.
- Use a Transport App if you live in the Sydney Metro or Outer Metro area. Download one from a list of real-time transport apps available. We recommend orr the highly rated TripView app, which we have provided a user overview for.
- View PDF copies of our bus stop timetable posters below.
PDF Bus Stop Timetable Posters
The bus timetables listed below are bus stop specific - they are the same timetables shown at your local bus stop.
Bus stop timetables can be searched by Transit Stop Number (TSN) - this number is available at the top of the poster at your bus stop - or you can search by selecting your suburb from the drop down box.
To view options in numeric or alphabetic order please click which option you would like to filter by (TSN, Street Name or Suburb).
Please Note: Bus stop timetables listed here are the same ones that appear at bus stops in the region. If your bus stop does not display a poster then it will not be in the list. In such cases we recommend looking for a stop close by and adjusting the time as appropriate or using one of the other options listed above.

With the sweat now dried on the face of Jimmy Page we can now decide if his duet with Leona Lewis at the Olympics was worthy of representing our musical nation. Strangely Jimmy Page looks of oriental origin though this is doubtful the reason for his national call-up. Maybe Macca, Bowie or Jagger weren't available or were unwilling, maybe the titanic riffing of 'Whole Lotta Love' was too tempting? Why did Page agree? The filthy lucre could be one of the reasons along with the sheer buzz of playing live to a couple of billion people. Why Leona Lewis though? Maybe her extraordinary fame in the States propelled her into the spotlight or maybe it was the classic mythical story of beauty and the beast which summoned the idea. Whatever the reasons it was an incongruous sight that only a truly global event like the Olympics could conjure up. Dignity and reason are always absent at such times.
With only 8 minutes of showtime available in Beijing the real dilemma approaches in 4 years time when London will have to symbolise, define, visualise and entertain to the rest of the world, not once, but twice and for several hours at a time! What musical representation will they cast on the watching world? For the Beijing showcase they decided to integrate the world of pop and hard rock (even for the mawkish London party outside Buckingham Palace featured a set comprising of popsters and kid friendly rockers covering, mostly classic, rock songs!). This blending of genre's suggests a directionless approach, fearful of striding out with true definition of musical culture. Admittedly much music is now genre defying and a hybrid of something else anyway, but at least the artist is responsible for the cross pollination. The last thing we need is an artistic director to start grouping together unlikely and unnatural musicians just for the novelty aspect. Who wants Geri Halliwell fronting the Kiaser Chiefs? Unwilling to select a particular style and therefore sitting on the cultural fence doesn't create a visceral experience.
So what music would best serve our Olympic ceremonies. Will it be Pop, Rock, Indie, Soul, Dance, Hip Hop, Electronica, Thrash, Dub Step or a amalgamation of all of them. Of course it is only fair to represent each musical genre, within the same song might be stretching it a little though! However a duet between Pete Doherty and Rihanna could well be the highlight of the whole fortnight! Maybe the mishmash of styles is a postmodernist representation of a multimedia and digital society – or that's what the organisers will tell us! However the true identity of this small island lays within the sub cultures and diversification of our wonderfully rich musical history. Don't tamper too much and let our natural ability sing for itself.

Every parent wants to encourage their kids to be active and participate in team sports. However, sometimes there's just not a team close enough for them to join and other times all the local sports teams have a long waiting list. If there's not a space on a local sports team for your child or not a team that meets their needs, why not start one?
It might seem a lot to take on but if you plan properly and get help from other parents, it's a lot easier than you think to start a sports team. To help make launching a new youth sports team easier for you, I thought I would share a few tips to help you get started.
Ask other parents if they'd like to get involved
Running a sports team isn't something that you can do all by yourself as it will take up too much of your time. So before you start up your sports team, it's a good idea to see whether any other parents would like to get involved. To be able to start a team that will grow over time, you need to ensure that you have lots of help. You'll find that there are plenty of parents in the same position as you, so getting help shouldn't be too difficult.
Set days for practice and matches
Once you've got some other parents on board for your new sports team, the next step is to set a schedule. You need to think about how often the team will need to practice and when the best days and times would be to hold them. When it comes to match days, this will depend on what sport it is, as some sports have a set match day. Most kid's sports, like football, basketball, and hockey, have matches on the weekends because of school. However, sometimes there are after school matches as well.
Plan a mini tournament
To get your new sports team out there, the next step is to plan a mini tournament. Get in touch with a few other local sports teams and suggest having a mini tournament one weekend. Admittedly, this will require a lot of planning, but it'll be more than worth the effort. To cover the cost of the tournament - food, drinks, medals and engraved trophies, you'll need to ask each child to pay a small fee. Set an affordable amount that each team member needs to play to enter the tournament and use this to help cover costs.
Learn how to move the team forward
If you've never run a sports team before, the chances are you'll struggle when it comes to progress. It's a good idea to get a helping hand from someone who knows about team sports and the best ways to move teams forward. Do research online, read books and learn the best ways to help your team to move forward. Team sports can be just a hobby. However, for some team members but for others they can lead to a future in sports, so helping your kid's team to progress is important.
There you have it, everything that you need to know about launching a sports team.

Love marriage is the common and very rare topic in this world. The cause of love marriage which is totally condition of love or love point of view, meaning thereby marriage is completely depended on the basis of love this thesis is given by the Love marriage expert Tantrik. Every couple or lovers who are in love then they want or desire to marry that very lover whom he /she love.

Love marriage expert Tantrik is said that Love is the base or fundamental point of human being whether the human are related to men /male /boy and whether the human are related to women /female /girl, because in nature point of view love is spread in all over the world. Love is ordinary said to the beauty of life. When love comes in the life of the people then people feel very comfort relax and so light feel in the existing life.

Always A Coug
March 17, 2008
'To me, being a Coug means always being a Coug.'
These words are the mindset of senior coxswain and women's rowing co-captain, Kelly O'Brien, a 5-foot-1 California native.
During her rowing career at Washington State University, O'Brien has led the varsity eight to a 10th place finish at the Head of the Charles as well as a 2006 Apple Cup victory over cross-state rival, Washington. Even more impressive, however, O'Brien and the 2006 varsity eight boat made history when it placed second at the Pacific-10 Championships and recorded a fourth-place finish at the NCAA Championships, the highest national placing by a women's program in WSU history.
As a coxswain it is O'Brien's responsibility to steer the boat as well as motivate her team.
'To be a coxswain, you have to be able to be a leader in and out of the boat,' O'Brien said. 'A big part of the job is setting the mood of the boat. If the boat is a little too nervous at the starting line, you have to be able to take hold of the reins and loosen the girls up a little bit to get them excited to be there. On the other hand, if they aren't focused enough you have to bring it in and remind them why we're here.'
O'Brien also said that a coxswain has to be able to take the brunt of people's attitudes.
'If someone is having a bad day, you are the one that has to go up and tell them `it's okay, you'll get through this,'' O'Brien said.
As a team captain, O'Brien takes her coxswain duties one step further.
'As a captain, I am an example and if anyone needs to reference how we should be acting and how passionate we should be about our team, then they can look to me,' O'Brien said.
To be the strongest leader she can be, O'Brien takes it upon herself to familiarize herself with the course before every race.
'I really need to know what I have to do logistically going up and down the course,' O'Brien said. 'I go over that as well as a race plan that we've developed so I know where in the race we're going to step it up a notch.'
As O'Brien enters her final season as a Cougar her goal is for the team to have fun while staying positive.
'I want to know that I gave my all and pushed the girls as hard as I could to give their all,' O'Brien said. 'Obviously I'd like to go to Nationals, but as long as the journey is good, I think the end result will be a reflection of that.'
O'Brien attended high school at Granite Bay, Calif., where she rowed on some of the very courses she competes on today.
'My first Pac-10 Championships and first San Diego Crew Classic really stick out in my mind as instances I will remember because I raced on that course in high school and had the opportunity to race there at a higher level, which was a lot of fun.'
O'Brien's parents, Michael and Janice, still live in California and have supported their daughter as well as the rest of the team when the Cougars travel south for competition.
'Luckily the Pac-10 Championships are on my high school course so my mom and dad have both helped organize our rowing tent there,' O'Brien said. 'They barbeque, organize the food and are really supportive. My little sister has come out for many of my races as well.'
When O'Brien is not hitting the books or on the water, she enjoys any and all the Cougar sporting events she can.
'I watch the games with the soccer and cross-country women,' O'Brien said. 'I live with three volleyball players so I go to all of those games that I can as well as anything else sport related.'
After graduation, O'Brien, a hospitality business management major, will begin interviewing with hotel companies and hopefully find a career in sales or convention services. Being in Pullman is one thing the senior is really going to miss.
'I will obviously miss my team, but all the girls are pretty young so I will be able to come back next year and see everyone. I am really going to miss the Pullman atmosphere and `Go Cougs' attitude the most,' O'Brien said.
So far in the 2007-08 campaign, O'Brien and the varsity eight Washington State University rowers have outstroked the competition at the Head of the Oklahoma, Head of the Spokane and Head of the Lake as well as dominating its home regatta, the Head of the Snake held at Wawawai Landing. The Cougars will kick off the spring season March 22 with class day races followed by a match-up in Spokane against Gonzaga March 29.This season's combination of returning experience from team leaders such as O'Brien and the young enthusiasm of a promising freshman class should make the 2008 racing season an exciting one for Washington State women's rowing.

Success built on vision, humanity
Richard Norman Johnson, Architect, 1923-2003
Richard (Peter) Johnson liked to tell the story of how he was shot down over France in World War II and, in the disguise of a deaf mute peasant, was hidden by the French Resistance. This early suppression may have contrarily initiated his later renowned qualities as a tolerant citizen of the world, with a strong personal identity and the ability to communicate fluently.
His professional honours, awards and achievements were vast and diverse.
Johnson, who has died aged 79, was born in Armadale, Victoria, the son of an architect. He attended Bellevue Hill Public School, then Sydney Boys High School where his friends included Lionel (Spud) Murphy, who later became Chief Justice of Australia.
Johnson was tall and athletic as well as academically accom- plished in most areas. He loved rugby, long-distance running and swimming and became a Bondi lifesaver as well as volunteering for roles as a park ranger and fireman.
As an architect, shortly after graduation from the University of Sydney, he formed the partnership of McConnel Smith and Johnson, which gained an excellent reputation swiftly and totted up a string of architectural awards, mostly in buildings of public importance, such as the Law Courts, Queens Square, the Sydney Water Board headquarters and the University of Sydney's law school and faculty of architecture buildings.
His own home, a very robust, personal and influential architectural expression of what has become known as the Sydney School, received the Wilkinson award for excellence in domestic architecture in 1964.
As an educator, he was professor of architecture and head of school at the University of Sydney from 1968-86, presiding over a curriculum which included options for study of the sciences, art and issues of social concern as well as architectural design - a progressive and eclectic program for its time.
From 1988-98, Johnson was chancellor at the University of Technology, Sydney.
He received honorary doctorates from the University of Sydney and the University of Technology, Sydney.
One of the duties of the chancellor is to preside at graduations and hand to each graduate the formal manuscript which gives the title of the level of degree or diploma which is due. To some recipients, this moment can be one of anxiety mixed with pride, for never have they encountered such an august array of educational ceremony and authority. Some affect insouciance, some tremble. Johnson invariably gave each graduate a quiet word of interest, inquiry or advice, thus diminishing the hauteur and establishing a privileged personal encounter.
The graduates loved it. Johnson didn't do this for effect or popularity - he just believed in the worthiness of the occasion and the value of the human engagement. That is the sort of bloke he was - he gave respect spontaneously and he received it in turn.
In 1985 he won the gold medal of the Royal Australian Institute of Architects for services to architecture and education. In 1979 he was made an Officer of the Order of Australia and, in 2002, a Companion in the Order.
As a leader of institutions and organisations he chaired countless committees, in which by patient listening and diplomatic skill he often managed to wrench some sort of coherence from a medley of agendas and persuade members to move on.
At various dates, Johnson was president of the Royal Australian Institute of Architects (national), the NSW chapter of the RAIA, the Commonwealth Association of Architects and the Australian Council of Professions; chairman of the Conference of Heads of Schools of Architecture of Australasia, the Commonwealth Board of Architectural Education, the Construction Industry Prospects Group, the Conservation Committee and Architectural Advisory Panel of the National Trust of Australia (NSW), the Ian Buchan Fell Housing Research Committee of the University of Sydney, Personnel and Fine Arts Committees UTS; and a director of Architectural Media Pty Ltd.
He was a life fellow of the RAIA and honorary fellow of the American Institute of Architects and the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada.
Johnson's focus was able to range easily from global through to small-scale local concerns. He made special efforts to encourage emerging architecture schools in developing countries to build upon their own national strengths and heritages.
He had unerring taste in wine, jazz and Aboriginal art. He quietly accumulated erudite collections and informed dossiers on all these pursuits, often by making meticulous notes in dimly lit surroundings. He loved swimming, trout fishing, travelling with his wife Jane as his inveterate companion and the convivial company of a large extended family.
Listing the splendid array of Johnson's interests and achievements is impressive in its spread and depth, but such a list alone is inadequate to convey the full range of his activities, his influence and his zest for living.
The natural integrity and enthusiasm of this man informed his every action. Fundamentally he had a humanist belief in the ability of people to transform their world through courage, creativity, goodwill and honest endeavour - he was an optimist and an activist. His moral values and social principles suffused all his endeavours, whether with family, architects, educators, students or the lay public.
During the final period of his illness, a visiting colleague asked him what kept his attitude so positive. Johnson replied that early in his education at Sydney Boys High School, a French teacher had advised him to make the most of each day, looking neither back in anger or nostalgia, nor forward into fantasy and futile hopes, but to emphasise achievable contemporary possib- ilities, for this would lead to the most fertile future. I believe that he did construct his life upon that notion, but was not limited by it, for he certainly saw better futures as being realisable - he had the visionary eye.
He is survived by Jane, sons Chris, Tim and Simon, grandchildren Eliza, Matilda, Abbey, Ruby, Tania, Bree and Jeremy and one great-grandchild on the way, and by his brothers Geoff and Bruce and his sister, Heather.

I sometimes think that the pharmaceutical industry is one of the most worrying components of our current economic system. I am not cynical enough to suggest that everyone in the business is simply out to make money and doesn't really care about the public and its diseases, but how does one reconcile the issues?
- Ideally, drugs / treatments should cure or relieve the symptoms of as many people as possible per unit of physical resources consumed.
- In our current system, a return on investment (of £/$) is required.
- In our current system, people need jobs
I don't claim that Burzynski is excluded from this problem. He wants to (or needs to) benefit from patents on his treatment and with the current system who can blame him?
Only a purely objective, scientific study of the effectiveness of a treatment per unit of physical resource is saisfactory.With £/$ in the equation, even if this is possible, how can we ever be sure that £/$ is not distorting the science?

About Counselling
Counselling is a talking therapy that allows people to discuss their difficulties in a safe and confidential space. A counsellor listens and works with the client at their own pace. Counsellors do not give advice but instead may offer interpretations and guidance to help clients identify any root causes or ways of thinking, and can work with them to create healthier patterns.
My Counselling Work
I am currently qualifying at level 4 of the CPCAB Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling Course. I also work closely with Westmeria Counselling Service, running their social media and fundraising campaigns. Through this work I am able to offer counselling information, exercises and blogs through both my website and theirs.
Westmeria Counselling
Westmeria Counselling is a charity offering emotional support in Bromley. They have 18 counsellors who provide a safe, confidential space to individuals experiencing difficulties. Counselling can often be expensive and NHS waiting lists are extremely long, that's why they offer up to 24 sessions on a donation only basis, so that more people can get the help they need. For more information please visit www.westmeriacounselling.co.uk. They also offer schemes for businesses who are looking to encourage mental health and wellbeing in the workplace.

were you recently injured?
If you have been in a recent auto accident and suffered an injury, please complete the Personal Injury Questionnaire and bring it to your initial appointment along with the New Patient Intake Paperwork. You may access the Personal injury questionnaire by clicking here.
diagnostic imaging
If you have experienced trauma or injury, please be advised that the doctor may deem it necessary to take x-rays or other imaging prior to your initial treatment as to rule out any potential contraindications to providing you care. We work with Imaging Healthcare Specialists as an outsourced provider for taking film. After your initial consultation and examination, the doctor may recommend directly to IHS. Click here for an out-of-pocket fee schedule and locations for Imaging Healthcare Specialists.
Do you have Med Pay?
Med pay is a type of supplemental health insurance coverage that is tied to your automobile policy. Many drivers aren't even aware that they have this type of coverage until their personal injury lawyer examines their auto policy with them after an accident. If you, or any of your passengers, are injured in an automobile accident in California, whether it is your fault, or the other driver's fault, your insurance with Med Pay coverage will be responsible for paying all of your (and your passenger's) reasonable and necessary medical bills as a result of any bodily injury that arises from said accident. Some folks are hesitant about using this benefit coverage because they worry their insurance rates will go up; however, insurance companies cannot raise your insurance rates for utilizing your insurance benefits, including Med Pay coverage, if you were NOT AT FAULT in an automobile accident.
Did you know compact injuries and even whiplashes can cause brain trauma? If you have been in a recent auto accident and started to experience symptoms, you may have potentially suffered a concussion. Here are some common warning signs:
- Headache or a feeling of pressure in the head
- Temporary loss of consciousness
- Confusion or feeling as if in a fog
- Amnesia surrounding the traumatic event
- Dizziness or "seeing stars"
- Ringing in the ears
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Slurred speech
- Delayed response to questions
- Appearing dazed
- Fatigue
Talk to your doctor if you are experiencing any of these symptoms.
Sprains & Strains
Auto accidents commonly lead to muscle strains or ligament sprains. We understand that such injuries require that little bit extra to bring symptom relief. Physiological therapies such as electrical muscle stimulation and therapeutic ultrasound are also incorporated into treatment to help reduce the body's inflammatory response from acute trauma. Supplementing these therapies with the power of the chiropractic adjustment aims to return the patient to full recovery.

Daily Nugget
It isn't what you know that counts; it's what you can think of in time (unknown).
I pray that you remember what you can do to complete the year. For what you don't or can't remember in time, may
God give you another day or another year to finish strong. Remember what the apostle Paul told us in Philippians
2:16: "Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured
in vain."
God, bring to my remembrance those things that are important to me and to You.
We are blessed and highly favored. Amen

In GOD we Trust!

from the kitchen of Kay Edman
from the kitchen of Kay Edman
This delicious topping is low calorie.
2 Cups peeled, thinly sliced tart cooking apple
3 Tablespoons apple juice
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Combine and cook in covered saucepan over medium heat until apples are tender, about 10 minutes. Sister Edman says, "I always increase recipe, as the applesauce is good to eat alone."
2 Cups peeled, thinly sliced tart cooking apple
3 Tablespoons apple juice
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Combine and cook in covered saucepan over medium heat until apples are tender, about 10 minutes. Sister Edman says, "I always increase recipe, as the applesauce is good to eat alone."
CEVICHE (Citrus marinaded fish)
Always loved this stuff!
1 lb firm white fish
1 small onion
1 clove garlic
4 or 5 sprigs of cilantro
1 small hot chili
about 8 limes (for ¾ cup of juice)
¼ teaspoon salt,
and pepper to taste
Cut fish into ½ inch cubes. Mince the onion, garlic, and chili coarsely. Chop the cilantro very finely. Juice the limes; strain to remove the pulp and seeds. Shrimp (or for the very daring, clams) can be substituted for the fish. Mix all of the ingredients and refrigerate tightly covered for at least 3 hours. Serve with corn tortillas, tortilla chips, or crackers.
(from the kitchen of Jayme Blazian)
1-24 oz. bag frozen shredded (not diced!) hash brown potatoes, thawed
2 cans cream of chicken soup
2 cups sour cream*
1 cup grated cheddar*
1/2 cup plus 2 T melted butter*
1/3 cup chopped onion
2 cups crushed cornflakes
salt to taste
pepper of desired
Combine 2 T melted butter and cornflakes. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Blend well. Pour into a large oblong baking dish that you have sprayed with Pam. Sprinkle cornflake mixture on top and bake for 30 minutes. Serve hot. *Do not use lo-fat versions of these ingredients. Lo-fat sour cream and cheddar will not melt, and margarine has water in it. Jayme says, "I have skipped the cornflakes and it still tastes good. I have also substituted crushed Ritz crackers or croutons for the cornflakes, since we aren't cornflakes fans and it isn't something I usually have on hand."
4 avocados
½ teaspoon lemon juice
¼ teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons salsa
Peel avocados, mash with lemon juice to prevent discoloration. Stir in salt and salsa. Serve immediately.
LIQUADO de PLATANO (banana milk)
I grew up drinking these and love to have it for a bedtime snack.
1 banana
4 cups milk
1 cup yogurt
dash cinnamon
Combine ingredients in blender. Blend until smooth and frothy. Alternatives: add strawberries, different flavored yogurts, or any fruit.
country of origin: India
This was so delicious and my daughter who has never liked the taste of mangoes loved it also.
1 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup milk
1 cup chopped mango (peeled and stone removed)
4 teaspoons sugar, to taste
A dash of ground cardamom (optional)
Put mango, yogurt, milk, sugar and cardamom into a blender and blend for 2 minutes, then pour into individual glasses, and serve. Can sprinkle with a little cardamom. The lassi can be kept refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Makes about 2 cups.
RICE WITH CUMINO (cumin)
from the kitchen of Justina Baza
Justina taught me how to make this rice one day when we lived in Southern Monterey County. As Relief Society President I would visit her and she would offer me delicious things to eat. I altered the original recipe. She began by frying a half onion in oil without chopping it and then removing it. She would then fry the ground beef in more oil.
1/2 lb. ground beef
1 Tablespoon oil
2 Cups rice
1/2 onion, diced
1 clove garlic, ,pressed
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon chili powder
4 cups water
Brown ground beef. Set aside. Saute dry rice in saucepan with oil until slightly browned. Stir in onion and spices and stir over medium heat for 3 minutes. Add beef and water. Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes or just until the water is absorbed.
Running out of pots, pans, and counter space is always a problem during Thanksgiving. I like stuffing sort of dry. I use a crock pot to cook the chicken broth, placing it outside, or in another room. Then I stir in the bread crumbs a few minutes before serving dinner. I love onions, you may want to use only one.
12 oz bread crumbs
1 cup butter
2 large onions, diced
1 small celery bunch, diced
1 cup chicken broth
1 Tablespoon poultry seasoning
Optional: 1/2 cup walnuts or pecans
Place everything, except the bread crumbs, in a crock pot that has been set out of the way of the kitchen, if you are needing counter and kitchen space. Turn on low setting. 5 minutes before serving dinner, stir in the bread crumbs.
We usually boil and mash our yams for Thanksgiving with butter, then cover with
marshmallows and toast in the oven. Joan taught me to do that. Since I grew up in a Mexican household - we had turkey and stuffing, but none of the other traditionally American side dishes.
2 pounds yams, peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces
6 tablespoons butter, softened
1 bag mini marshmallows
2 Granny Smith apples (Optional)
Sugar (to taste)
Peel and boil yams in a large pot until soft, about one hour. Yams take longer to cook than russet potatoes. Drain and mash with butter. Transfer to casserole dish and top with marshmallows. Toast in 350 degree oven until lightly brown.
GRANNY SMITH VARIATION: My nephew, Jesus, got a sweet potato casserole recipe from his wife's family. Same recipe as above, then slice a few Granny Smith apples very thinly on top. Sprinkle with sugar and melted butter before baking. The tangy apples and sugar are wonderful. We decided to add the marshmallows on top of that.
SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE (Southern)
Danielle's co-worker from Tennessee prepared southern sweet potato casserole - wow - could have put this in a pie shell and had it for dessert. Loved the way she'd say "yes, Ma'am" and "yes, sir" - although Randy said it made him feel old. I
just reminded him, "We ARE old!" When Nicole told me she also had this dish in Louisiana, I knew I had to add this to our recipes. This is adapted from a recipe online. I eliminated the egg and added vanilla.
2 pounds yams, peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces
6 tablespoons butter, softened (Betty's: 1/2 cup)
6 tablespoons granulated sugar (Betty's: 1 cup)
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (Betty's: none)
1/4 teaspoon salt (Betty's: no salt)
(Betty's version: add 1 teaspoon vanilla)
Sweet potato topping
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/3 cup melted butter (Betty's: 1/2 cup)
1 cup pecans
(Betty's: add 1/3 cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla)
Peel and boil yams in a large pot until soft, about an hour. (Yams take longer to cook than russet potatoes.) Drain and mash. Transfer to mixing bowl. Add butter. Using electric mixer, beat until smooth. Add sugar, spice and salt; beat to blend. Pour into prepared baking dish.
Prepare topping: Mix together all ingredients in medium bowl. Crumble evenly over sweet potato mixture. Bake until golden brown and crisp, about 30 minutes.
Betty's Version "Scalloped Sweet Potatoes"
(Betty's: Blend topping ingredients to a consistency of wet cookie dough. Drop by spoonfuls evenly on top of yams. Connect the dollops to create a smooth topping. Bake 35 minutes at 350 degrees until brown and crusty.)

Blood Bowl Preview: The Orcs
Tags : blood bowl specialist game orc
hello everyone !
Photos of the orc team.
I didn't glued all of them because linemen have some sort of tabard in the way.
The push and fit is solid and they hold enough to play without glue.
They were hard to assemble because they have a big number of spike all around and it's hard to know where you can touch the mode ! ^^
But on the other hand they look awesome !

roasted pork loin
earthy, succulent and juicy, infused with a trio of fresh herbs and drizzled with a flavorful pan sauce
4 garlic cloves, peeled
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, plus a few whole sprigs
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/2 cup dijon mustard
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 3-pound boneless pork loin, trimmed and tied
a few sprigs fresh rosemary
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
3/4 cup chicken stock
with mortar and pestle, pound garlic with 3/4 tablespoon kosher salt to a paste. add thyme leaves, parsley, dijon, 2 tablespoons olive oil, a few grinds of pepper, and stir to combine (you can also make marinade in food processor.)

preheat oven to 325 degrees.
heat a large pan over high heat. add 2 tablespoons olive oil, wait until pan is extremely hot, then sear pork on all sides until caramelized, about 10 minutes (don't rush this step or turn meat too quickly or else it will stick to pan.)
transfer pork to roasting rack set over roasting pan. spread with reserved marinade. scatter thyme and rosemary sprigs on top and dot with 3 tablespoons butter. roast until instant-read thermometer inserted into center of meat reaches 135 degrees, approximately 1 hour 15 minutes (all ovens are different, so cooking time may vary.) cover pork loosely with foil and let rest at least 15 minutes. discard herb sprigs and remove strings before slicing.
while pork is roasting, return searing pan to stove over medium-high heat. wait a minute or two, then deglaze with chicken stock. bring to boil, scraping brown bits from bottom of pan. remove from heat and whisk in 3 tablespoons butter.
just before serving, add any juices meat gave off during roasting/resting to pan sauce. bring to boil, reduce until slightly thickened, and spoon over slices of pork.

NOLA Project Update
I have been passionately and personally involved in the struggle of the lower ninth ward in New Orleans to recover their land, and keep their culture intact. I knew I wanted to visit the area, but not as a tourist. Then it came to me like a vision, I knew I had to go there as an artist, paint and document, and bring something of this place and time back with me to share with others.
My daughter has been volunteering for the past 5 months in the lower 9th. Through her I have become very connected to the tragedy that continues to befall these folk 2 years after the levees broke. Having this personal connection has been the catalyst for me and I will be creating a body of work that will hopefully help other people connect with what is happening and what should be happening there.
I will be in New Orleans Oct. 10-17. While there I will be creating artwork, blogging and uploading photos daily here. My daughter will be my escort. Below is an outline the areas we will be visiting and painting:
Outline of the Painting and Blogging Locations
Lower 9th Landscape–painting and trying to get a sense of the area–what has been and what the future might hold. Plan to paint at the site of a levee breach
Survivors Village–Survivor's Village is a tent city erected on June 3, 2006 by the residents of New Orleans public housing. Joined by other public housing residents, the residents of St. Bernard Public Housing Development initiated the tent city as a response to the federal government's continued undermining of the residents' rights to return to their homes and resume their leases, which is guaranteed by the UN International Policy on Internally Displaced Persons. www.survivorsvillage.com
The Wetlands Restoration Project–a project of Common Ground Relief Organization. This project seeks to rebuild the destroyed wetlands that are crucial to absorbing storm surge. www.commongroundrelief.org
Common Ground Relief Headquarters–a grassroots organization that has been there from day one. Many college age people flocked to Common Ground and offered immense help in gutting and mold abatement for example. www.commongroundrelief.org
Bayou Communities–though not part of the lower 9th, this is an impoverished area that little is heard about. They are struggling to survive post hurricane. Painting site.
The Eco Green House and Habitat For Humanity home sites–painting at the construction sites and finding out about the reconstruction that is going on through volunteer and philanthropic efforts. Painting site.
Holy Cross Neighborhood Association–a very active area in the lower 9th. I have been contacted through my blog by another blogger from Kansas who is a volunteer for Holy Cross. Making a connection through the online community is another important part of this project.
Displaying the Work. http://www.helpholycross.org
After returning from New Orleans, the work created will be displayed online at www.bluezeppelin.com/gallery/yikesstudio. The blog will be ongoing and will also contain photos and links for more information.
Thanks to everyone for the wonderful support I have received!!
Its not too late to buy a bracelet if you haven't already as many expenses have yet to be covered)
Next I will be talking to you from New Orleans!
Best Wishes,

Hey Suze! you are a champion for your cause! I toast to you and Brandon....!!
Completely enjoyed all the blog writings, pastels and paintings...actaully were they all pastels?
and pix to very sensive portrayal of a surrendered isolated travesty of america...How much would it cost for a poorly paid teacher like me to go down for 5-7 days do you think? food, hotel, transport etc....are you going back again?
if so , when and would you want company? Love to you and Brandon Tracy

Thanks so much Tracy! I am so glad you read the blogs. It is sooo hard to express all the difficulties and problems and the gigantic scope of it all. It frustrates me to no end what this government is up to. I felt bad leaving but am glad to be home.
As far as going down there, you could do it for pretty cheap. What I would recommend is going down and volunteering for Habitat for Humanity. They are very organized and get a lot done. For $100 a week you can stay at their "camp" I would love to go, but it won't be till, like maybe, spring after the guide is printed. I would love to have company.
My airfare from Portland was only $240 total. I had to spend for at least one meal a day for the two of us but it didn't cost too much, rest of the meals I had in my little kitchen. The rental was something I got on Craig's list ($330 for the week). It was ok—no windows, but in an awesome building.
New Orleans was an intense and moving experience--I would love to go again and try to help.--Suzanne
