Solo Show: "A Woman For All Seasons", February 7-29, 2012
My post card is finished! I learned a lot, creating it on Adobe photoshoppe, then saving it as a PDF file, for printing at WIGT Printing in Mill Valley. In addition to my wearable art made out of recycled and non-recycled plastics, I will be kicking off my improvisational singing debut, with story telling on pitch, about the destruction of the oceans with non-biodegradable plastics. This is my brainchild that I created 3 years ago, when I woke up depressed about the state of affairs in the world. In April, 2011, I decided to flesh out my ideas about sewing and heat-fusing plastics, and now that day has come, where I will share my work with the public. My friend, professional musician and Spiritual teacher, Robin Elliott, will be accompanying me with her Bleffert instruments, gongs, cymbals, tubes and triangles during the Opening Reception, February 7, 2012 in the Loft Gallery. My husband Georg will be creating a video and I will post it on YOU Tube for your viewing pleasure. There will be easy, free parking available, and plenty of red wine and refreshments for all.

Cashew Beef Stir Fry
I'm a big fan of one pot meals. I'm an even bigger fan of one pot meals that taste delicious. I really wanted to put all the flavors into this dish, but I restrained myself. I used peppers and cabbage as my veggies, but dishes like these are great because they would be good with almost any veggies you have in your fridge. I think broccoli and carrots would be great, but I use those ingredients a lot in other dishes, so I went with peppers and cabbage.
Since I was feeling particularly lazy, I added the cauliflower rice into the pan because I didn't feel like cooking it separately, but you could just as easily serve this meal over cauliflower rice.
Cashew Beef Stir Fry
Paleo // Whole30 // Grain-Free // Dairy-Free
Makes 4+ servings
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 2 cups cabbage, chopped
- 2 cups cauliflower rice
- 1 cup toasted cashews (toast in a dry pan over medium heat until brown)
- 1 tablespoon ground ginger (or chopped fresh ginger)
- 1 clove garlic, minced (or 1 tablespoon garlic powder)
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- juice of 1 lime
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- salt and pepper to taste
- In a medium pan over medium-high heat, season the ground beef with salt and pepper and brown. Set aside once cooked through.
- Drain any fat left in the pan, melt coconut oil and saute onions, once the onions are translucent, add peppers, cabbage, and cauliflower rice.
- Add ginger, garlic, turmeric, lime juice, fish sauce, and coconut aminos and continue to cook vegetables until soft.
- Add ground beef back into the pan and mix. Cook until beef is heated through and coated with sauce.
- Turn the heat off, add the cashews in and mix well. Serve and enjoy!

VAMOS hits the big screen
Monday, 26 November 2012
Worcestershire residents are invited to come and see the premiere film showing of Offal Tales, a spectacular tailor made show which was performed at The Hive in July to celebrate the opening of this iconic building.
Vamos Theatre presented 'Offal Tales': Stories of the Worcester Cattle Market which showcased a mix of history and hilarity, telling stories of the people and places of the cattle market, the site where The Hive now stands.
Offal Tales brought to life the recordings which form part of the Beyond the City Wall exhibition currently on a 20 month tour around the county's libraries. All the scenes in this spectacular performance highlight the memories discovered by the Archive and Archaeology Service here at The Hive.
This fun loving show is being brought back to life for three free film showings in The Studio at The Hive in December on Tuesday 11, Wednesday 12 and Thursday 13 from 6:30pm 7:30pm. Expect masks and puppets, music, singing pigs and dancing cows! The show is suitable for family audiences, and there is wheelchair access.
All performances are free and must be booked in advance as places are limited.
Please e-mail email@example.com with details of which show you would like to attend.
Justin Hughes, Archaeological Project Officer at The Hive, said "We are very excited to have this special performance all about The Hive's site brought back to life on film. The shows in July proved to be a great success with the public and we will be having film showings of the performance to give even more people the opportunity to enjoy this spectacular VAMOS show."

For months, my best friend has been trying to get me on board something called the Gratitude Project. Every day, she said, think of one thing you're grateful for and put it out there for the world to see. Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, whatever. She swore it would make me feel more blessed than I already do.
I think today, I have more to be thankful for than usual. Today I've found a measure of forgiveness from people I've hurt. Today I've received support from people I love. And today I'm leaving for Spain, in what I'm certain will be one of the most challenging, exciting and amazing experiences of my life. For all that, and everything else, I'm grateful.
Our flight will be leaving in a few hours – 5:30 p.m. EST – and I'll be off on a journey that I feel will be much more than just a semester abroad for me. One way or another, the next month will be a defining moment in my career and my personal life; it will be an opportunity for me to examine the choices I've made thus far and the reasons I made them, as well as what steps I'm to take next. It's a lot to place on an already very busy five weeks, but it's a crucial acknowledgment that deserves to be said aloud.
I think it's right to take a moment – before I make that leap – to be thankful for where I am, how I got here and the people who helped me on my way.
As Pinterest puts it:
It's a good thing to always keep in mind.
See you in Spain.

Spinning Daily recently posted an article by Carol Leonard that discusses what to look for when purchasing your first spinning wheel. I love this article. And I thought it would be helpful for you to see how the SpinOlution product line fits into their thorough Q & A.
When Mike Pauly first invented SpinOlution, one of the biggest requests of the spinning industry was for a wheel that was pain-free to spin. Mike used multiple bearing systems in every moving part of the wheels for a "liquid gold" spinning feel. The treadles have a gentle rocking motion - like a glider rocking chair. When you sit at a SpinOlution, you will naturally sit with your legs a little wider apart than at other spinning wheels, which reduces muscle tension.
SpinOlution wheels are designed to be ergonomic production machines. I have spent many 8-hour days at my wheels during my high-production season. For 10 years I was on a different brand of wheel. I am familiar with the aches and pains of sitting at a wheel that is not ergonomic. But I have never felt aches or pain after spinning 8 hours on a SpinOlution.
Now to the second point of Carol's first question. Orifice height. Personally, I find that orifice height and chair height are like peas and carrots. In order for your orifice height to feel comfortable, you also need to be in an appropriate spinning chair. For wheels with a lower orifice, a lower chair solves the issue. I know many spinners who sit in camping chairs while spinning on their SpinOlution Pollywog and love it. Many spinners love sitting on a cushy couch when spinning on a SpinOlution Hopper. So keep that in mind when you test drive. If an orifice feels too high or low, ask if there is another chair for you to sit in and try again.
SpinOlution Wheel Orifice Heights
Pollywog Basic - 19.25 inches
Pollywog + Accelerator - 25 inches
MACH III - 27 inches
Echo - 25 inches
Hopper - 21 inches
King Bee - 26.5 inches
Queen Bee - 26.5 inches
Worker Bee - 26.5 inches
Firefly - VARIES. Since you can kickstand the wheel on the floor, or place it on a table, or folding chair - you decide what height the orifice is at for spinning.
Absolutely. Portability is one of the biggest requests that the market had when Mike started SpinOlution. So here's a basic run-down of each wheel's portability.
Pollywog - 100% Portable @ 8-9 pounds. Carry the wheel by the lazy kate "handle" and take it anywhere. You can also get a craft supply rolling cart to pack the wheel in and roll it around wherever you're going.
Firefly - 100% Portable @ 13-14 pounds. Carry the wheel by the carrying handle. Just make sure your head is screwed securely into the base. This is my preferred wheel for travel because it is so compact. It also fits beautifully in a craft supply rolling cart.
Queen Bee - 100% Portable @ 13-14 pounds + FOLDABLE. This wheel fits in a carry on luggage case and many spinners take it with them on flights so they can spin in the airport on layovers. If portability is determined by TSA - then the Queen Bee is one of the most portable wheels on the market. There is a handle in the back you can carry it with after it's folded.
King Bee - 100% Portable @ 13-14 pounds + FOLDABLE. This wheel fits in a carry on luggage case and many spinners take it with them on flights so they can spin in the airport on layovers. If portability is determined by TSA - then the King Bee is one of the most portable wheels on the market. There is a handle in the back you can carry it with after it's folded.
Worker Bee - TBD
Hopper - 90% Portable @ 12-14 pounds. The reason I marked this down to 90% is because it is awkward to carry by the handle. It's the same reason I didn't use one of those carseat baby buckets for when my kids were little. It's a lot of weight to be carried in one hand on one side of your body. It makes my shoulder hurt if I'm carrying it for too long. When I am walking thru a large vending event with the Hopper - I often have to switch which hand is carrying it if I have a long way to walk. This is why I consider it to be "less portable". The shape is just bulkier than the other portable wheels. If you're walking a long distance with it, you'll feel it in your shoulders as you'll need to hold it away from your body to keep it from bumping your side as you walk.
Echo - 90% Portable @ 14-15 pounds. The reason the Echo is less portable than the other wheels above is because the handle is lower down on the neck and requires you to carry it in a specific way which limits hand movement and it's difficult to switch the wheel from hand-to-hand if you're walking a long distance. You'll have to set the wheel down, turn it around, and switch it to the other hand. Whereas with the Firefly you can switch from hand-to-hand while you're walking. It's also a taller wheel, with more mass. If you're walking a long distance with it, you'll feel it in your shoulders as you'll need to hold it away from your body to keep it from bumping your side as you walk.
MACH III - 75% Portable @ 25 pounds. If you purchase the straps & wheels kit for the MACH, you'll be able to roll the wheel behind you like a large piece of luggage. So technically, it is portable. But what would you rather do - roll your biggest suitcase around an event, or roll a carry on? I prefer carry on size for bringing to shows and events. But there are many spinners who adore their MACH and bring it everywhere. Technically it is portable. It's just not my personal first choice.
This question doesn't apply to the SpinOlution brand as much because all of our wheels are upright in style. This is because we prioritized portability in our designs (many wheels with left / right flyers are awkward to bring places) as that was more important to our customer base.
I hope this helps you when you're looking into your first wheel to purchase! Look at our Dealer Map to find your local dealer, or check out our SpinOlution Facebook Group and browse thru gently used wheels for sale by other customers if you're shopping on a budget.
Happy Spinning!

Aag Lawn Care Lawn Services in Virginia Beach, VA
My lawn care business began on Craigslist, and it was an excellent tool at the time. Ten years later however something changed. I am not sure what it is, but Craigslist doesn't work anymore. I am not sure what changed but at least for advertising my lawn care business in Virginia Beach it no longer works. I rely a lot on word of mouth to grow my business now, but the best tool I have found is GreenPal, and the homeowners saw the same.
I have heard from a lot of homeowners that used to use Craigslist and they are so much happier with GreenPal. Seriously, when it can to finding landscapers in Virginia Beach, VA or anywhere in Hampton Roads for that matter GreenPal can't be beat. Homeowners and landscapers alike seem to agree that GreenPal is the best way to hire and be hired in the VA Beach and 757 area. The process on the landscaper end is a bit tedious, I had background checks, interviews with GreenPal staff, they reviewed my credit report, and even called a few of my clients before I could begin mowing through their program. But, In the end though I knew it would all be worth it and my business is getting the growth I have always needed.
When I am not mowing lawns you might catch me at a Jackmove concert at Shaka's Live since the Jewish Mother has now closed. Anyhow, today I am going to to look at new mowers today, it is time for my second zero turn mower, now that my business is taking off. Even if it is late in the season I would be happy to make your lawn look its best in time for winter. Most people don't know or think about this but proper winter preparation will make your lawn look so much better come spring.
Heres the deal, we're an all-inclusive lawn maintenance company. We provide much more than lawn mowing, we offer a professional landscaping experience.

Thomas Contracting Lawn Services in Virginia Beach, VA
I started lawn care in the tiny town of Knotts Island, NC, and worked my way up to Pungo and Downtown Virginia Beach. Since my days at Currituck Couthy High School I have grown my lawn care business to the far reaches of Virginia Beach. My friends always as me why I don't keep all my business in NC, but you can't beat the Virginia Beach Boardwalk. Though I still base my business out of Knotts Island, the Virginia side, but most of my business is in Virginia Beach.
I have been cutting lawns for a while now and love it more than anything. Over the past few years I have greatly grown my business.

Until then I will continue to hustle and grow my lawn care business throughout area. Landscaping has been one of my favorite chores since childhood, so when I grew up I decided to do it professionally.
In the fall can do your leaf clean up and fall and winter lawn fertilizers, do your winter pruning and preparation and much more. I have room for a few more lawns and have a part time worker that can hire if I get enough new lawns to mow with GreenPal. I have already gotten a number of lawns through GreeenPal and each of them is more fun to maintain than the next. I work at some amazing properties in the area, and even some that weren't so awesome when I started, but I turned them around quick.

Here are a few 5 Star Ratings from GreenPal users
I used to take car of my own Virginia Beach Lawn, but as I have grown older I leave it to the pros. When I get home I just want to site in my lawn and relax. Most of my energy goes into my volunteer work at the Military Aviation Museum.
By the time I am done with my work, I just want to site back and enjoy my retirement. GreenPal makes that supper easy. I have not been let down yet. Thanks to GreenPal I can enjoy my lawn and BBQ's on the weekend.
What a headache lawn care in Virginia Beach was before GreenPal. I had the hardest time scheduling with contractors, and many of them were a bit hard to deal with, but with GreenPal I have always had a pleasant experience.
Before he moved out and started at Regent University my son handled it. With my husband busy at work, I had to get some professionals to handle my lawn maintenance, and I was able to find them with GreenPal.
Independence Boulevard is a hard enough place to live with the jets flying overhead. Oceana Naval Base is a pain to live by, but they serve an important purpose. But the thing is I get enough noise from the jets alone, and I don;t want to deal with another loud noise that I can avoid by hiring a professional landscaper.
I wasn't sure where to turn when I bought my first house , but luckily I am savvy with the internet. I did a search for "lawn care in Virginia Beach" and found GreenPal. Not much to say other than, it works!
I like to meditate at the Edgar Cayce ARE and don't like dealing with lawn mowers, but I also don;t like a messy lawn. Fortunatly I found out that GreenPal is a great way to take care of my landscaping needs without the headache. So now when i am practicing my meditiation at the beach or the ARE, I can relax knowing that my lawn is handled! Just that is fact nearly brings me to enlightenment itself. Thanks to GreenPal, my lawn is green and my mind serine. If you need your lawn mowed while you are meditating at the Virginia Beach oceanfront, GreenPal is the best.

Plum Crumble Tart
Sometimes, when the thick blanket of San Francisco fog makes it impossible to tell what time of day it is all day long, and I've already had three cups of coffee by 9:00 am and they're not making a dent in the feeling of blah, I know I have to spring into action to keep the day from being a total bust. So last week on One of Those Days, I sent out an SOS invitation to some friends who I was willing to bet were having the same kind of day we were: 3:00 pm, bring your babes, coffee, Oprah and One Really Good Plum Tart. On the day of which I speak, this tart was in the oven by 10:00 am. The relentless mist and wind made the thought of a post-lunchtime outing less than appealing, and Baby C had slipped into an easy, albeit short, morning nap. I'd had my eye on this recipe for the better part of a week and just couldn't get it out of my head. I'd gathered an armful of firm-ripe plums at the market the day before, when I'd had an inkling that the weather man was just being a big liar again, and this "massive heatwave" he'd been yammering about for days was never really going to come. I was so right. But I was wrong about Italian Prune Plum season--I'd hoped it might still be hanging on, but after searching three markets with an impatient toddler, I gave up and chose the deepest-hued regular plums I could find.
You'd think, with this being a plum tart and all, that the star would be the fruit. Well, you (meaning I) would be all wrong about that. Even if I'd been able to use the elusive Italian Prune Plums for this dish, I doubt they would have been as spectacular and noteworthy as the tweedy, nutty, crisp crust upon which they sat.
No really, I mean, it's really pretty--I ended up with like 50 maddening-to-sort-through photos of the finished tart, I was so enamored with the whole thing.
Something else I love about this recipe is its springboard qualities--I will be making this again very soon with pears, and possibly swapping out the walnuts for almonds and a dash of cinnamon or cardamom in the crust. Or maybe an apple and pistachio pairing. Who knows?! The possibilities are endless! I'm telling you, sometimes I get so wild around here, people.
But not as wild as all the bombs that Mackenzie Phillips was dropping on Oprah that afternoon while we snacked on plum tart and coffee. Now that lady knows from tart.
Plum Crumble Tart Adapted from Ina Garten's Barefoot Contessa Parties!
If you can find Italian prune plums, by all means, use them. They are smaller than regular plums, so quarter them instead of cutting them into sixths. Look for firm-ripe fruit, nothing soft. Avoid very large plums, as they won't fit as easily or prettily into the tart pan. If you buy pre-chopped walnuts, give them a few once-overs with a knife--you want them very finely chopped, but not ground. If you find the tips of the baked fruit looking a bit lackluster, just brush them with a bit of melted jam or jelly to add some shine.
2 cups all-purpose flour 3/4 cup finely chopped walnuts 3/4 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed 1 1/2 sticks cold unsalted butter, diced 1 egg yolk 2 pounds small plums, pitted and cut into sixths lengthwise (quartered if you can find Italian prune plums)
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Have a 9 or 10 inch tart pan with a removable bottom or springform pan ready, placed on a baking sheet.
In the bow of a standing mixer, combine the flour, walnuts and brown sugar on low speed. Add the butter and the egg yolk and mix on medium-low speed until the butter is well-incorporated and the mixture is crumbly (it will resemble moist brown sugar).
Put about 2 cups of the crust mixture into the pan and pat it evenly along the bottom and up the sides of the pan (a sturdy measuring cup is a helpful tool for the job). Arrange the plum slices skin side down in a flower pattern, working from the outside in. Scatter the rest of the crumbly crust mixture in an even layer over the top of the fruit.
Bake the tart for 40 to 50 minutes, until it the crust and topping are deeply golden and the fruit juices are bubbling. Cool for at least 10 minutes before transferring to a serving platter.

Got to watch something pretty special this past weekend. Night launches are always an incredible sight...but watching from a beach on the Atlantic Ocean from only 5 miles away. Speechless. I envy the folks who live close around the Space Coast as this is something I don't think I could ever get tired of.
My buddy Bryan Bennett, a local meteorologist who's recently been getting into photography, and I carpooled over to the Cape...sort of a last-minute trip for me as I had planned to do absolutely nothing this past weekend. I was able to meet up with John Kraus, an extremely talented young photographer who shoots for America Space, along with his family and one of his friends, Marcus Cote, who shoots some pretty amazing surfer pics. If you would like to check out some of their work, they're all three on Instagram - @meteorologistbryan, @johnkrausphotos & @marcuscote_photo.
There's another launch in less than 2 weeks and I'm already making plans to head back although I think this spot will be closed for that launch. Shame as I didn't get the long exposure shot I was planning for - the arc was cut off due to my lens selection and I missed a good portion of the fade-away due to getting the exposure correct for the stars.

They can also elect to receive the bill directly into their Sniip app, removing the need for a paper bill."
Steven's experience has been with companies including PayPal, Visa, St George and Westpac and he joins Sniip from his current employer, cloud-based accounting software giant Xero.

Whole Person End of Life Care: Improving Joy in Caregiving & Triple Aim in Health Care/
Whole Person End of Life Care: Be Whole | Be Held| Be Healing
How might Whole Person End of Life Education and Care increase JOY in Caregivers and increase the Triple Aim Goals in Health Care Improvement?
The answer is simple and profound. Each of us is a whole being composed of shared and unique spiritual, emotional, physical, intellectual, practical human desires, needs, and gifts.
During end of life transitions, some or all of our spiritual, emotional, physical, intellectual, and practical needs and gifts may come to the fore . Whether equipped to handle these needs or not, caregivers are faced with navigating and supporting whole patients, whole systems, whole families. And how well they navigate, connect, communicate and comfort patients beyond medical technical care matters. What matters is how the caregiver feels about their connection and relationship with the patient. What matters at the beginning, middle and end of an interaction, is "Do I Feel I made a Difference? Did my presence matter?" If the answer is yes, then I believe there will be joy in the heart of the caregiver, patient, and family. If the answer is yes, then the goals of the triple aim in healthcare are likely to be met: Quality Care, Patient Satisfaction, and most efficient cost of care. But if the answer is no, I don't feel i made a difference, then it is easy to understand the negative experiences of caregivers discussed in the excerpt from the article below.
In Institute for Healthcare Improvement's White Paper, "Improving Joy in Work" by authors Perlo J, Balik B, Swensen S, Kabcenell A, Landsman J, Feeley D. say: "With increasing demands on time, resources, and energy, in addition to poorly designed systems of daily work, it's not surprising health care professionals are experiencing burnout at increasingly higher rates, with staff turnover rates also on the rise. Yet, joy in work is more than just the absence of burnout or an issue of individual wellness; it is a system property."
"Burnout leads to lower levels of staff engagement, patient experience, and productivity, and an increased risk of workplace accidents. Lower levels of staff engagement are linked with lower-quality patient care, including safety, and burnout limits providers' empathy — a crucial component of effective and person-centered care.
Burnout and staff turnover in health care continue to rise at alarming rates. So, what can health care leaders do to counteract this epidemic?"
I believe when Caregivers experience renewal of purpose, self care and nurturance, and increased awareness of their innate healing gifts and talents, they are MORE WHOLE themselves. They may feel more JOY in their caregiving because they have more access to the multi-dimentionality as a human being. They can tap into their innate healing gifts and offer these to the patients and families.
Caregivers who receive whole person end of life education and care may feel more connected to themselves and to the patients and families they serve.
They may feel more alive, greater job satisfaction, and understand the direct connection they have to improving patient care and satisfaction. They may experience an immediate, positive effect in the lives of everyone they come in contact with.
End of Life Doula Education offered through the Conscious Dying Institute restores our true purpose and our capacity to attend to self and others with wholeness, care and love in all domains of life. It renews the innate healing gifts and talents of caregivers, making it natural and easy to offer Whole Being Care. How does this happen?
Through live music, restorative practices for life and death, community and individual grief and forgiveness circles, participants heal their own sense of separation and isolation from life. Faith in life is renewed, loving relationships restored, and the experience of the transformative healing potential of death is grounded and embodied in each student.
When Caregivers receive nurturance and emotional and spiritual attention needed to experience their own healing, this increases self-care and self-love.
The transpersonal, experiential learning modalities and practices offered in the Sacred Passage: End of Life Doula Certificate brings the caregiver into a deeper understanding of and peace with his or her own mortality. After all, it is hard to comfort the dying if we haven't faced our own fear. From this place of greater self-understanding and self care, there is a far greater capacity for holding one another, listening attentively, being open and honest, communicating honestly and compassionately so that we can face death, experience forgiveness and increase love.
The Sacred Passage Doula Certificate Program prepares caregivers from all disciplines and care settings to befriend death, surrender and trust deeply in each moment and restore death to its sacred place in the beauty, mystery and celebration of life. It builds communities of care and healing, benefiting all those involved in care and healing during critical illness and at end of life.
End of Life Doula Education supports achieving the "Triple Aim" in Healthcare by focusing on Care and Healing at End of Life.
The IHI Triple Aim is a framework developed by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement that describes an approach to optimizing health system performance. Conscious Dying Education and Care answers the national, ethical, and cultural imperatives to develop new designs for health at end of life --simultaneously pursuing three dimensions identified by IHI-- called the "Triple Aim":
- Improving the patient experience of care (including quality and satisfaction);
- Improving the health of populations (systems, cities, organizations, families, communities)
- Reducing the per capita cost of health care.
Our Graduates' new depth of spiritual awareness, physical embodiment and attunement, emotional intelligence and empathy create a new culture of care and healing at end of life becoming the next great revolution in healthcare, a revolution capable of increasing the evolution of human consciousness-a potential that is heightened when people understand that their life nears an ending.
It is possible to experience the fullness of life and the promise held within the DNA of 'Death'. Death's encoding holds within it a transformational portal for not only the one who is preparing to leave this earth but for all involved in the dying process.
Graduates become a part of a new culture of care and healing-the careforce who positively improve end of life patient satisfaction and care, improve the health of families and ultimately communities, and supports reduction in extreme, futile "Life at All Costs Care". The healing care of an End of Life Doula goes beyond do no harm toward care and healing for all positively contributing to the evolution of all human consciousness.

Has it ever occurred to you that at some point, you are thinking about your parent or a friend far away from you and just at that very moment, you get an unexpected call/message from them ? When you are toiling through the stairs with heavy bags and someone you hardly know, gives you a hand with them ? When you are feeling really low and are greeted with a big smile from a child ? When you are feeling lost and suddenly stumble upon something or someone who gives you a whole new perspective ?
You can call this a co-incidence, telepathy, destiny, luck, an angel in disguise, blessings, prayers or kindness. But the truth is that every human is connected to all other living beings – the flora and fauna, animals, birds and fellow human beings by an invisible bond. The bond of humanity, love and kindness. It is little incidents like these which restore our faith in love and humanity. Which inspire us to be kinder and empathetic.
God could not be everywhere,
So he created mothers..
God could not be everywhere,
So he silently sends over his guardian angels..
God could not be everywhere,
So he showers blessings disguised in prayers..
God could not be everywhere,
So he created love, kindness and hope..
– Himali
While scrolling through my Facebook account today, I saw a post of an animal welfare NGO about a dog they were trying to cure from acid burns. It was by no means that I would be able to help him. But I closed my eyes for a few seconds and said a small prayer to bring comfort to his soul. In my younger days, my mother once told me a fable of a monk who witnessed a dying snake and by no means could do anything to save his life. He stood beside him and prayed for his salvation. The snake with that prayer attained salvation and in his next birth, saved the monk's life.
This is the power of blessings and prayers. It not only heals the receiver, but also comes back a thousand folds to the giver.
At this time, as thousands of lives in Nepal and India are affected due to the atrocious earthquake, let us mumble a silent prayer and send vibes of love and warmth to every person and family affected by this sudden blow. Let us send our best wishes and prayers to everyone in distress.
Who knows, your prayer might be someone's manna from heaven ?
Hum se na dekha jaaye, barbaadiyo ka sama,
Ujdi hui basti me, yun tadap rahe insaan..
He ishwar, ya allah, ye pukar sun le,
He ishwar, ya allah, he data…

Not going to happen anytime soon as there are just too many variations. Make it integrate well with KDE and forget about everything else. Don't try to please everybody. If you separate the backend code, it makes it easier for somebody else to write a different frontend that integrates it with say GNOME or Xfce or whatever. Rahul

Amen.

New Jersey Gearing Up18 12 2008
TRENTON, N.J. – Road crews around the state are gearing up Thursday for a winter storm expected to drop as much as 10 inches of snow in northern New Jersey on Friday.
The National Weather Service issued a winter storm watch for Warren, Sussex, Morris, Passaic and Bergen counties for Friday morning through late Friday night.
Forecasters expect the storm won't hit until morning rush hour, with the worst weather coming late Friday afternoon.
"It looks like northern Jersey is definitely going to be hardest hit with the snow," said National Weather Service meteorologist Bob Wanton. He said the southern half of the state would mostly see sleet and freezing rain.
State road crews said they were prepared to handle whatever the storm brings.
"We're in a pretty good situation," said Joseph Orlando, a spokesman for the New Jersey Turnpike Authority, which also operates the Parkway.
"All of our equipment is ready to go; it's not all worn and torn from an entire season of snow," he said. "We're pretty much just under full capacity for our salt."
Alan Hicks, a spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, said Newark Liberty International Airport was prepared with 500 tons each of salt and sand, as well as thousands of gallons of deicing fluids and snow removal equipment.

I confess that I am one of the few who did not watch President Barack Obama's inauguration, either in person or on television.
My wife watched the whole thing — newscasts of the crowds early in the morning, the oath at noon, the parade that followed and the commentary that lasted the rest of the day.
Meanwhile, I attended to other things, knowing that I could watch the ceremony in replays on cable or the Internet whenever I got the urge.
I made a trip to the electronics store to buy a connector for a project I had started and came back into the house as the new president was finishing his address.
This is not the first inauguration that I let pass without my attendance. I may have watched one before, perhaps Kennedy's or Reagan's, but I have seen excerpts so often in replays that I have no clear recollection of seeing them in real time.
But this inauguration brought back memories of sitting before a television set to watch a similar event in my childhood — the coronation of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II.
Elizabeth took St. Edward's Crown on June 2, 1953, a few days before the end of the school year at Trafford School, where I completed the first nine years of my schooling.
I think we may have had our first television at home in the Thermal mining camp by that time, a black-and-white rabbit-eared Zenith tabletop, but we did not have television at school.
The school, which was later burned to the ground by a deranged dropout, did not have indoor toilets either. That tells you how long ago this was.
With summer vacation less than a week away, we kids would have been in a happy mood and excited about the last field trip of the year.
As many have said this week about the inauguration of our new president, we had a teacher who wanted us to "witness history being made" by watching the coronation.
Our class would go to the home of Dr. McAnally, the town dentist and the grandfather of one of my classmates. I had been in his big house on the hill before.
Dr. McAnally has a small office across the railroad from the depot, but he also had a dentist's chair at home. At least once, my father had taken me there in the middle of the night with a tooth emergency.
The doctor may have had a telephone by that time, but we did not, so we just knocked on his door until he woke up and led us to his home office for the necessary operation.
The day of the coronation, our class walked a couple of miles from school to Dr. McAnally's house, clinging to the left side of the two-lane road that oozed tar at that time of year.
Shepherding us was the teacher who thought it important that we witness the coronation. She evidently had not thought we needed to witness the inauguration of President Eisenhower the year before. But perhaps not even Dr. McAnally had a television then.
As Barack Obama took his oath Tuesday, many millions watched on television — at home, in public squares and in saloons. Students watched the event at school, and I am sure that students in England watched it on the telly, too. They would have had a teacher, as we did in Trafford, who thought they should witness history being made across the ocean.
The time in London is six hours ahead of ours here, and the coronation was at noon, so I suppose we must have seen a taped replay. Most television was live in those days, but we would not have made our little pilgrimage before 6 in the morning.
I can't remember much of the coronation except for the pageantry. I do have clear memories of walking along the road and sitting on the carpeted floor of the living room, just out of sight of that dreaded dentist's chair.
President Obama's inauguration was a huge orchestrated ceremony, a grand celebration of a historic event. I have since seen much of it in replays, and I think that even in 1953 the Brits had us beat in pomp.

Witness to another historic event
I confess that I am one of the few who did not watch President Barack Obama's inauguration, either in person or on television.

One third of small businesses fail within the first two years, according to the Small Business Administration, and within the first five years more than half of businesses fail. It pays to look at your business, the marketplace, and more than anything, yourself from an honest perspective. Avoiding these mistakes will increase the survival rate of your business.
Mistake # 1: Insufficient funds. Before entering the marketplace, it is a good idea to reserve at least 3 times the amount of estimated cash. With sales and revenues up and down, along with some unforeseen expenses, small businesses tend to experience down times. The cash that is on reserve can be used to help out in these tough economical times.
Mistake #2: Inadequate planning. To build a business, you need a foundation, goals, and an implementation strategy. Research is essential in developing a sound business plan. It consists of understanding the entire market, knowing what differentiates your product from others in the same market, and knowing what costs will be acquired to implement your plan. A business plan is very specific, breaking all of the details down bit by bit.
Mistake #3: No flexibility. After developing your business plan, be adaptable to conditions that may change. Although you may start off with a good business model, not modifying it could cause failure in the business. Don't be afraid to change with customers or competitors as they change.

SAN FRANCISCO – Construction began this week on Guy Place Mini Park, a planned oasis amid the skyscrapers of Rincon Hill, the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department announced today.
The parcel, at 4-8 Guy Place, is one of the very few undeveloped properties in the neighborhood. It sits near the approach to the Bay Bridge, steps from the new Transbay Terminal development and surrounded by a mix of older residential and commercial low-rise buildings as well as new residential towers.
"As San Francisco continues to grow, it is important that we create open spaces to serve our communities," said Mayor London Breed. "By getting creative with ideas like mini parks, we can ensure all our neighborhoods have access to green spaces."
District 6 Supervisor Jane Kim, whose district includes Guy Place Park, said the park serves a rapidly growing neighborhood.
"San Francisco's fastest growing population is in District 6, so our need for open space and healthy recreation is growing as well," Kim said. "We must build complete neighborhoods while building housing. I am proud that years of community advocacy made this new park a reality."
In addition, Supervisor Kim's office secured a $60,000 add-back for the construction of a bulb-out with a 24-hour dog relief area in front of the park to increase accessibility.
The acquisition of 4-8 Guy Place was funded by the Rincon Hill Community Improvements Fund in 2007 and followed by a community planning and design process in 2008, and additional community outreach in 2014. The design then received approval from the San Francisco Arts Commission. In Spring 2017, the Department received additional funding to move forward with the construction.
"Guy Place Park has been a community driven project for a neighborhood that has lacked green and open space," said SF Rec and Park General Manager Phil Ginsburg. "We are excited to be adding a new park in this corner of District 6."
Guy Place Park is designed for quiet enjoyment as well as small group gatherings. To maximize usable space and ensure accessibility, the design will raise the sloping terrain with engineered retaining walls to create a level site. The new park design features eight new trees.
The renovation will also create three defined outdoor spaces as 'rooms" with lush landscapes and three living green columns featuring native California grapevines. The entry fence and gates are art enrichment components of the project designed through the San Francisco Arts Commission.
The new park will also include a waterjet-cut steel fence designed by artist Adriane Colburn. Inspired by the historic and contemporary geologic record of the neighborhood, the design combines the contours of the local landscape, cartographic imagery and abstract forms.
"Adriane Colburn's fence design is meditative and modern in the way it evokes the site's history and topography," says Director of Cultural Affairs Tom DeCaigny. "It ties a bow around this beautiful new urban oasis."
The construction project is expected to last one year.

Dear Loyal Friends & Supporters,
I was recently heard on social media using the word "ugly".
I want to clarify that when I used the word "ugly" I was in no way referring to someone's physical attributes. On the contrary, I was describing what I believed to be a very unfair, negative and unnecessary monologue regarding one individual's opinion about my products.
While I believe that constructive criticism can be helpful, engaging and honest, sometimes individuals can take their opinions in a less-than constructive direction.
I strive to maintain the highest level of integrity with my products and I appreciate all of the support and loyalty from my friends and customers. I regret that my comments (which were intended to remain private) were made public and apologize to anyone negatively affected.
I value and love all people and have the deepest respect for each individual's right to express their opinion.
Thank you all so much!
Jennifer Gerard
CEO Gerard Cosmetics and Whitening Lightning

Hall of Fame – Heritage category
The 1969 NSW Netball Association team consisted of ten players: Captain/Coach Nola Green (2008 Hall of Fame), Vice-Captain Carole Sykes (2008 Hall of Fame), Frances Hayes, Nancy Atterton, Carol Trimble, Lorraine Burton, Eileen Jones, Kaye Thomas, Jan Meades, and Vicki Kerr (2014 Hall of Fame inductee).
Their manager was the great Nance Kenny OAM (2011 Hall of Fame), and Umpire Neita Matthews OAM – also 2011 Hall of Fame inductee and our current Netball NSW Patron.
The team was selected from the NSW Netball Association to represent Australia at a Tournament in Singapore to mark their 150th anniversary.
The Tournament was played over five days; from 11 August to 15 August 1969 at the Singapore Netball courts.
There were 15 other countries competing in a range of sports at the tournament, but there was great interest in netball, with Army, Navy and Airforce teams also participating.
Our NSW Team went through the tournament undefeated.
At the Closing Ceremony Nance Kenny was presented with a 150th year Anniversary Memento Of the Pesta Sukan (Festival of Sport).
If we consider the era in which this team travelled and the resources available to our sport, it was truly an outstanding effort to attend the Tournament and compete internationally, let alone to return home without a loss.
Inducted into the Netball NSW Hall of Fame – Heritage in 2016

Amber Square?
All dressed up for the holidays, Republic
Square has never looked so rosey (well not since it
was "Lenin Square" anyway). In addition to
its giant holiday tree, this year all government buildings
were lit, casting a soft glow in the moist Yerevan nights.

You have seen the photos of the transitional house built for Zet! Benito's has been finished as well. We now have the funds to do 8 more. We hope that teams will continue to come so that we have the labor to build these transitional homes. We also hope that we will continue to receive donations to build the houses. The generosity of the teams and people that have supported the ministry have made this possible!
In addition to the transitional housing, we were also able to do the bathroom for Benito's community! We wrote of it earlier. People were coming all the way from Gran Savon to thank us for this building. It was done after contacting a donor for who made a contribution for building. After graciously agreeing, we were able to use the their contribution for this!
If you want to donate to something specific, as we have many people do, just send us an e-mail or write a note with your donation. We will make sure that your donation goes to food, buildings, or whatever the designation. We know the Lord often leads your hearts in giving and we want to honor that leading!
Update on Matthew and Eddy. They are both feeling much better. Eddy has had malaria for sometime. His recent illness was a relapse of the malaria. Matthew is feeling better too! He now has malaria, but he is feeling better. Thank you all for your prayers and concern for them. It made a difference. They felt your prayers!
And all things, whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive. Matthew 21:22
We know so many of you join us in prayer daily! We ask that you continue to pray as we have more teams coming in the next few weeks. We pray God's safety and guidance on the leadership of JoyHouse and the teams! As always, we pray for the "fruits of our labor", souls won to Christ! For we know that is what matters most and the reason for JoyHouse!

TOMBALL, Texas - April 5, 2016 -- For the elderly and people with disabilities, simply getting around can be a challenge. Soon, Tomball-area residents with mobility challenges will have a new way to get where they need to go.
On April 1, 2016, Northwest EMS started the roll-out of its new Mobility Project, adding two wheelchair-accessible vehicles to their existing fleet of emergency ambulances. Northwest EMS is the contracted emergency medical services provider for Harris County Emergency Services District 8, which includes the City of Tomball and portions of unincorporated Harris County.
The funding for the project's first year operating costs and capital expenditures were provided by a grant from the Tomball Regional Health Foundation. "Transportation for the uninsured and elderly has been one of the top priorities to the Tomball Regional Health Foundation Board," said Jack Smith, Chairman of the Board. "To be able to help patients get to their physician appointments and related healthcare visits means we are continuing to help our community and the individuals that live in it."
The Foundation's 2012 Community Health Needs Assessment Report noted a lack of medical transportation services in the Tomball area. Often, residents with mobility needs do not have access to a vehicle or they need door-to-door assistance for what many consider routine travel. The new vehicles will be used for medically-related trips, such as to and from the doctor or home from the hospital.
"We are thrilled to finally have this project off the ground," said Brian Bayani, Chief of Northwest EMS. "The new service will not only improve access to healthcare in the community, but it will also be an important tool in our effective delivery of medical services."
According to Chief Bayani, it is not uncommon for the ambulance to be called because someone ran out of medication and cannot get to the pharmacy or they have not been able to get to their doctor for preventative care. "Historically, the only ways to handle these calls were to either take the patient to the emergency room or let the patient refuse transport and remain at home," Bayani said. "Neither of these fixed the root cause of the problem." These calls tie up an ambulance and an ER bed, decreasing the emergency system's ability to handle more urgent calls. The new mobility services should decrease some of the burden on the system.
The vans will also bring big cost savings for the patients since an ambulance trip and just a short stay in the emergency room can add up to thousands of dollars in medical bills. While there is still a fee for a van trip, it is significantly less than an ambulance ride and financial assistance is available for those riders who can demonstrate financial hardship.

I just discovered corilannam posted her stories to AO3 last month, so now I can read Pull and Same As It Ever Was on the plane without having to worry about my iPad randomly re-loading pre-loaded Safari pages like a big fat jerk.
Deluge by suaine has been on my list forever, and I finally found an ePub for that, too.
The Magic Bean bycassie_black12, On Tethered Wings by thuri, It's Not the Time or the Place bylolafeist (one of the few of hers I haven't read, I think), His Own Hand by crazypaving, and Wicked Game by winterstorrm (which I started awhile ago but never finished; it's QaF inspired) are all frommarguerite_26's rec lists. I spent a lot of time with them last night--this time the canon ones as well as modern AU.
I also have What Looks Like Crazy by hermette, which I've seen reced before but have been putting off because it's bound to be the sort of sad that can't be fixed and I have to be in a certain mood for that.
Also, Irradiance, which is an Albus Severus/Scorpius by melusinahp, who I really like.
Aaaand hmm... Off the Deep End bynovemberlite, Concerto for Two Violins by lady_ragnell (Morgana/Gwaine with side Merlin/Arthur from what I can tell from the summary, which is why I think I haven't read it yet, though I've read most of her other stuff), Seven Magpies bysyllic, and Virgin Sacrifices Aren't What They Used to Be by lamardeuse. And Birth of the Serpent King by Keira Marcos (that's H/D).
Plus a few leftover from last weekend, with Steam at the top of that list.
I'm almost disappointed the flight is only an hour and ten minutes, but I anticipate some sitting-around time with my folks, so we'll see how I do...
Happy weekend!
A million years later...
[06/14/2012 -- Update about the stories above, plus some HS Merlin and other stuff]
All right, so a million years later, I will try to remember what I thought about what I read that weekend (which turned into nearly a week and ended up being sooo much stuff).
I swear I am probably going to love anything corilannam writes. Same As It Ever Was was a super interesting idea and good execution for a story that wasn't very long (7k). And Pull--loved, loved, loved it. Loved. I could have read another 500k from that universe. Loved.
Deluge -- I have never highlighted so many things in a story as I did in this one (over 60 passages). I will save the story and some of those notes for my 100 Things. Such wonderful growth for Arthur during the course of the story. I adored the whole thing.
The Magic Bean I started by didn't finish. I got maybe 65% of the way in and was bored. It's Not the Time or the Place--regular awesome lolafeist. Same goes for Virgin Sacrifices--typical lamardeuse: funny, cute, enjoyable.
His Own Hand was amazing. Oh, the writing is like the best kind of porn for my brain. It was such a pleasure to read. 12k incredibly well spent, and not even just for the spanking porn. I'm sure there'll be a 100 Things for this one, too.
I finally got to Steam, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I anticipated. I had a hard time connecting to the characters for some reason, and even by the end of the story, I didn't feel like I ever really had. I read Seven Magpies as well, and while the concept was very cool (Arthur gets chucked into a universe where Merlin is prince and he's the manservant), at the end I was left wanting more, and not in a good way. It felt like it was missing something that would have made it really satisfying. I'd love to see Merlin's side of it.
The ones I haven't read yet: On Tethered Wing, Wicked Game, What Looks Like Crazy, Irradiance, Concerto for Two Violins, Birth of the Serpent King.
From my previous list (Beach Trip / Writing Retreat reading list), I read...
Nothing Ever Promised--not a perfect story, but I enjoyed it. I really liked Gwaine and Lance and the parts they played. The POV was irritating as hell, but I think that's an entirely personal preference thing. I'm fine with multiple POVs in one story, but I find it really distracted to bounce between them from paragraph to paragraph.
Fractured Fairytale--Very entertaining all the way through. Neat to see everyone and how they fit into Merlin's world.
Aaaand also during that weekend, I read a bunch of other stuff including these from the hs_merlin fest (authors added below post-reveals):
Post-It Note Romance--two thumbs up. After reading the summary, I worried it would be like Drugstore Flowers or Heartbreak, Secret Friends, and Stupid Doodles, but it wasn't. (by fuzzytomato02)
Out of the Darkness--Merlin and Gwaine in a tent! Very cute. (by fr333bird)
Dropped Time--I liked the concept a lot, but I think the story should have been at least twice as long. Maybe three times. The whole thing felt very rushed, which made some things confusing. Too shallow and fast in places where it would have benefited by taking some time to really let us get to know the characters. Well written, but I felt hampered by the things that weren't clicking fast enough for me to keep up. (by otta_ff)
Sativa in Bloom--another Merlin/Gwaine. Gwaine POV. They're both potheads. I loved the characterizations and neither guy ever got girlie. Merlin was so cute. Really liked it. (by leashy_bebes)
And not from HS Merlin, I read The Apple Grove (4.4 out of 5 stars), Where Legends Lie (DNF--got bored even though it was an okay story), and Smoke and Mirrors, which was really good, though not the happiest story of all time.
Um, think that's it. It was a long six days! Got lots done =)
Now, just waiting until my next six-day weekend to see what else I can read...

|Iris Berben mini Gallery
To tell the truth, not frequently happens, that a German actress becomes world-wide known. What a pity, because some of them are quite good! For example Iris Berben is not just pretty, stylish and excellent as an actress, but also rather similar to Lara Croft! Well, now she is not so young anymore (:-(((, and you can see her almost only in German TV productions. The first film I saw with her was the Das Viereck (1987) (TV), and I can say I was very impressed! My second meet her was the TV series Das Erbe der Guldenburgs (1987) (TV series). Some of her latest films are Rosa Roth - Die Stimme (1997) (TV), Rosa Roth - Berlin (1997) (TV) and ¿Bin ich schön? (1998).
