High School Camp! Who is your super hero?
Hey all! I wanted to get a quick word out about this week's camp. It's a great opportunity for our high schoolers to get out of the city for five days, have some good (crazy) times, and get to dive in to learning more about this faith walk with Jesus. We leave Monday morning from school and will get back to school Friday afternoon around 3. I'm heading out as a counselor, hopefully for 11-12th grade girls. I imagine I'll also be a team leader for group activities and generally help out wherever is needed.
While my own camper experiences always happened during the summer, SCCLC camps happen in Feb and March. So, students have an added incentive of missing a week of classes to be at camp. This is both a perk and, sometimes, a frustration, especially when you have campers who come to camp with hard, unwilling hearts and complaining attitudes. It happens. On the whole though, it is an awesome week of being with students!
So, would you pray for a variety of concerns throughout this week?
- Hearts that are softened and obedient towards the Holy Spirit. We know that God's word never comes back empty, but we also know there are lots of different kinds of heart soul. So, pray for a rich soil that the Word can root into deeply and bear fruit!
- Fellowship, love, and unity to flow throughout the campgrounds. Pranks and jokes are a part of camp, but ask God to send swift conviction against any idea that is designed to break another person or tear someone down. Ask God to send a clear vision and wise understanding to all the leaders to take care of little issues before they become big ones. And ask God for His children to love as He has loved us.
- Strength and stamina and protection- for leaders and campers alike!
- Fun! Because we want the students to want to come back next year 🙂
Thanks everyone!!
The main meeting room looks awesome!

Since we're getting ready head out on another adventure in a little over a month, I figured it was time to finally finish this post I started back in October (you are correct, I'm the worst).
When we got back to Chiang Mai after our Borneo, Bali, and Ko Lanta trip, we said we would post about the latest travel lessons we learned. Obviously, that never happened. But now, as we're gearing up to leave Thailand and become even more nomadic, moving from one country to another every month, it's the perfect time to go back and remember what we learned and apply them to this next adventure.
So here we go, the 5 travel lessons learned from our SE Asia trip and how they can be applied to where we're heading next:
1. AirAsia, while cheap, has really stupid rules.
Our SE trip got off to a rocky start. The flight out of Chiang Mai was delayed and by the time we got to KL, they had already closed check-in for our onward flight to Kota Kinabalu, Borneo. AirAsia closes check-in 45 minutes before the flight everywhere except KL where they close 1 hour before check-in. We just missed the hour cut-off. We argued and pleaded our case but ultimately had to pay a $120 penalty to switch our flight to the next one out.
The most frustrating thing about it though: Even after getting to KL late, even after arguing with the desk agent who wouldn't let us check in, even after buying a new ticket and walking defeated and slow to our gate, we still would have made the first flight on time!
So, the lesson: Always check in for flights, AirAsia especially, way ahead of time. AirAsia lets you check in multiple days before your departure — do this. You never know what kind of rule nazis you'll encounter at the airport.
2. Maybank has good currency exchange rates.
If you need to exchange money (which I generally try to avoid) and are presented with two options, one of which being Maybank, go with them. They have reasonable exchange rates.
None of the ATMs were working in the Kota Kinabalu airport, so we had to exchange baht for ringgit. The best way to get local currency is to have a bank account that doesn't charge ATM fees (I use Capital One 360) and just withdraw whatever you need. ATMs have better conversion rates than money exchange counters.
3. Less is more.
No matter how much we travel, we never seem to remember this one. We just get too excited! But we seriously need to heed our own advice: don't try to pack as many destinations into a 2-week itinerary as possible. It just wears you out. Slow down, see less, go to less places and enjoy your time.
4. Be prepared to go over budget.
See: Lesson #1.
Also, we were expecting to pay $9 each on the public bus from Krabi Airport to Ko Lanta, but the due to another AirAsia flight delay and a slow border agent, we missed the last bus and had to pay $76 for a taxi.
When we broke down our budget this time around, we made sure to round up by at least $100 for every destination.
5. Be realistic with how much time you have.
When we're stupidly cramming in extra destinations, we're simultaneously trying to allot enough time to each place. What tends to happen is, I'll see an 8pm flight and think we have all day in that place. This is not the case.
An 8pm flight means you have to be at the airport by 6pm which means you have to leave by 5pm (or however long it takes to get there). But you'll most likely have to check out of your hotel/hostel/guesthouse by noon anyways. Basically my point is: an 8pm flight doesn't mean you have all day to hang out at the beach or something.
Bonus lesson: We already wrote about this, but when heading to the Gilis from Bali, don't fly to Lombok and take a boat to the Gilis, just take a boat straight from Bali.
I'll remember this when we get to Europe and make sure to look at other transport options, instead of just flights.

GateKeeper Men's Ministry fosters an enviornment that produces growth, empowers men to develop fellowship with other men, and strengthens families. Being GateKeeper Men allows men to find freedom in healing as they communicate openly about their challenges and their fears with one another.
Ways to be a GateKeeper Man:
Attend Saturday morning breakfast once a month where men discuss topics such as being a Kingdom Man, Accountability, and the Conquer Series: Sexual Purity.
Participate in social events like bowling, movie nights, and Red Sox games.
Cook or serve at the Annual EHC cookout and church work days.
Become a member of the Men's Basketball League. Join us for Prison Ministry at MCI Norfolk or become a committed member of the core team assisting in the further development of the ministry.
Prison Ministry provides guidance, counsel, and the preaching of the Word of God to incarceratd men once a month and on special holidays such as Martin Luther King Day.
Those who volunteer their time in this ministry say they receive from the Lord far more than they give. They are blessed everytime they have the privilege of sharing with the men at the facility.
If you cannot participate in Prsion Ministry you can still support through prayer and by sponsoring a copy of the Daily Devotional for an inmate for only $3.00 a copy.

Second day was meant to relax and enjoy what Portland has to offer: a beautiful landscape during the autumn season.
I love how Portland left the foliage intact and didn't cut the these beautiful trees down to make way for buildings. Instead, they are part of the landscape blending nature and man together. Calgary's downtown is great but because of diversity of buildings.
I like Portland's setup better but that's just me.
Walking around downtown Portland definitely gives you a 'hipster' vibe; Goodwill stores, vintage clothing…
What model EV is this?!
While we stroll around and enjoy the view, I was chatting with my buddy who couldn't believe we went to Portland for a weekend.
Yes, I know that we drove to eat, which sounds crazy to some people, but this is how our family works. Another thing that we do is randomly going to off-ramps and somehow, we stumbled upon a Tesla showroom(!):
Continuing with the 'hipster' theme, Tesla seems to be a seller in Portland (saw a bunch while driving around the city) and oddly enough, in oil-rich Calgary as well.
That chassis…
It's a big seller not because that Tesla is a snobby way of showing off your commitment to being 'green' (which it is), but because it's a great car for the price you get. For the price of ~$70,000USD, which is in comparison with the big saloon Audi's, BMW's, Mercedes, this is a steal at that price tag for what you get. I mean, just look at the technology involved and that interior!
Yes, you'll bitch about the range but it's new technology so it'll take time to get superchargers running along the major highways. Gas stations didn't pop up instantly when Henry Ford mass-produced the Model T. It took time and I'm excited for what Tesla will offer in the future. In fact, one of the salesman drove from Portland to Banff in his Model S!
Yes, he had to stop and charge up which made the drive from 14 hours to ~2 days but if you're not in a hurry, that's pretty impressive.
Elon Musk is definitely changing the game of transportation and I want to see him succeed!
After more wandering and splurging at the Woodburn Outlet Mall (no pics of that because outlet), we finished at ~10PM and were looking for some late-night eats. In comes Biwa:
215 SE 9th Avenue
Portland, Oregon 97214
Like always, we always go big or go home so here we go!
The dishes that were worth nothing are the chicken heart and liver:
It was charred just right and the flavors just brought me back from when I had huromonyaki in Japan. The sauce was a tad sweet, which was perfect for this setup. Coupled with my black pepper soda, I was in foodie heaven:
Biwa is a straight up late night eatery but you won't find any Lumberjack Slam here. It's a great place to get your night started or to revive yourself for round two!
Simple as that.
– Don

Silkair, stop this discriminatory practice
In the last 2 days Silkair has been advertising their promotional fares to regional destinations. The prices look attractive certainly except there's one catch: like its parent company SIA, Silkair demands two to travel out and travel back.
I asked Bernard, a brilliant mathematician, about the two-to-go proviso. "Now, Bernard, if two persons were to go separately isn't it the same. 1 plus 1 is still 2, isn't it?" I asked.
Thinking I was laying a trap of some kind for him, he glared at me. "Of course. It's just a gimmick."
It's not easy to get a travelling partner. Silkair senior management should themselves give it a try.
Silkair needs to change its business strategy. Its two-to-go is at best a clever strategy, at worst, discriminatory.
For a regular independent traveller like me, and there are thousands in similar predicament, Silkair has therefore lost us as potential customers.
Ok, look askance at independent travellers. Fortunately there are many other airlines without this discriminatory practice. In this financial crisis, Silkair would be foolish to persist with this practice.
Now, Malaysia Airlines today also has some attractive offers. Let me…
5 Responses to "Silkair, stop this discriminatory practice"
[…] Silkair, stop this discriminatory practice « For Everything There b…/b […]
The only time I could enjoy a ride in SIA was in 1985 when I managed to buy a return ticket from Winnipeg, Canada. Tickets there were so reasonably priced with the students' concession that I was the envy of many 'underprivileged' in Singapore.
I haven't had a ride in SIA since. I can't afford the exorbitant sums they charge. Like the Chingay Parade, it's all for profit.
Does anything else matter?
I travelled to the UK in the 80s because of my studies but struggled to buy a ticket to London. The most inexpensive fare I managed to buy was from Malaysian Airlines.
And everyday we are talking of supporting our own industries. Why can't they support us sometimes?
I think Roger Poh has been fair in his treatment of topics he chose to write. I hope the authorities in charge who have been reading his blogs will take appropriate measures to help.
Think people not profits.

I went job hunting today kinda. I am in no mood for a serious job right now. Normal jobs they do not pay well. Not at all. I like my work. I think I will continue down with it. Some people are of the opinion that this work falls within the black area. Then they define certain conditions which if satisfied would make this thing fall in the white area. To hell with that. I am happy with the greyishness of the while affair. Also. I get to do what I like. Well at least one of the things that I like. I just resent the fact that I wasted valuable time that I could have spent sleeping. Oh well. I'll just find a replacement and excuse myself from there.

I'm a week late, I know, but this first week of 2017 has just been extremely busy. Getting up early again every day definitely took some getting used to after the holidays, but now I'm back in shape! I've also spent the first week setting a few goals for myself. I'm not big on new year's resolutions as I believe that you shouldn't wait for a new year to come around before you change what you want to change. However, I DO believe that January 1st is an excellent day for reflecting on what you wish to accomplish in the year to come. Here's my list:
- Pass Sogang Korean level 6 (if all goes well this should be crossed off by June)
- Take the TOPIK and score at least level 5 (secretly hoping for 6, though)
- Travel around Korea (Specifically Seoraksan, Jeju and Kyeongju are on the bucket list)
- Find overall purpose in life (this one is a leftover from last year, haha)
Anyway, I guess that if you can honestly say that you're doing what makes you happy that should be purpose enough. Which brings me to another thing: Happiness. I've written about this topic before, and recently on one of my countless expeditions to Kyobo Bookstore I flipped through a book called "500 reasons to be happy". The list included anything from finding a power outlet at the airport to the smell of freshly cooked bacon. This made me think that happiness is not necessarily a big thing that you can only achieve after a number of criteria or conditions are fulfilled. Rather, true happiness is the ability to find joy in the small things around you. Just this morning I felt refreshed by the scent of my bodywash, I enjoyed the taste of my coffee, I felt excited when I applied a new eyeshadow, and I felt happy when I realized that it wasn't so cold outside that I could easily wear my cute pink coat. When I went to buy fruit in the afternoon I was happy when the kind store owner complimented my Korean and when his wife said I was pretty. I was also over the moon when I realized that a salad and juice bar had opened in the basement of Jongno Tower just four subway stops from my apartment. I just had my first taste of avocado in five months and it was divine.
These things may seem trivial, but after all, our daily lives are filled with countless of such trivial moments, and in finding joy in them, I believe we can find the key to true happiness. Happy New Year! 새해 복 많이 받으세요~!

I also like reading your blog and look forward to reading it this year. I will (again I think) recommend visiting Andong, having Andong soju, seeing the mask dance, and the Wollyeongo Bridge at night.

Chef John des Rosiers cuts potatoes into thin, uniform pieces so they'll cook quickly and evenly. We've called for a potato masher (which most people have in their kitchens), but for the fluffiest, most finely textured potatoes, use a ricer, as des Rosiers does in the photo above.
How to Make It
Step 1
Cut each potato lengthwise into quarters; cut each quarter crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick pieces. Place potatoes in a Dutch oven; cover with warm water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes or until just tender.
Step 2
Drain potatoes; let stand 5 minutes. Return potatoes to pan. Add half-and-half and remaining ingredients; mash with a potato masher until desired consistency.

Hefty® EnergyBag™ Partners Announce Grant Recipients January 4, 2018
Cobb County, Georgia and Boise, Idaho Awarded $50,000 Each to Implement Community Waste Recovery Programs
Lake Forest, IL - January 4, 2018 –
$50,000 grants have been awarded to organizations in Cobb County, Georgia (Keep Cobb Beautiful Inc.) and Boise, Idaho to establish the Hefty® EnergyBag™ program in their respective communities. The program offers an innovative approach to diverting plastics that are not currently recycled – such as chip bags and juice pouches – from landfills and converting the materials into valuable energy resources.
The two winning communities will provide collected materials to facilities utilizing advanced non-combustion conversion technologies, which can generate a liquid fuel, such as diesel. These technologies also have the longer-term potential to generate feedstocks in a closed loop system to produce new plastics, keeping resources in use and at their highest value and thereby helping create a more circular economy.
"Reynolds Consumer Products is proud to be a part of the Hefty® EnergyBag™ program," said Dave Bryla, Business President for Reynolds Consumer Products. "Resource recovery of non-recycled plastics is a viable municipal process that can achieve many positive long-term environmental and economic results, including fewer tons of landfill waste, more local energy resources and less fossil energy dependence."
"We look forward to working with each community as they implement the Hefty® EnergyBag™ program in their area in 2018," said Jeff Wooster, global sustainability director for Dow Packaging and Specialty Plastics. "Cobb County and Boise's adoption of the program is helping expand efforts to increase plastics recovery across North America."
"Keep Cobb Beautiful Inc. is excited about this innovative program and is looking forward to bringing plastic recovery options and technology to Cobb County residents," said Kimberly White, executive director for Keep Cobb Beautiful Inc.
"The City of Boise is committed to sustainability. This program provides an important tool in managing our post-consumer plastics responsibly," said Catherine Chertudi, environmental program manager with the City of Boise. "The opportunity to keep more plastics out of the landfill through this innovative recovery program is very exciting."
Matt Maurer of Reynolds Consumer Products added, "Collaboration is key to the success of a program and we are very excited to work with the new program partners as they implement the Hefty® EnergyBag™ program in their communities".
To date, Hefty® EnergyBag™ curbside and non-curbside programs, which include a 2014 EnergyBag™ Pilot in Citrus Heights, California, have diverted more than 17 tons of plastics from the landfill. The first full-scale Hefty® EnergyBag™ program launched in Omaha in September 2016. In its first year, the Hefty® EnergyBag™ Omaha program has collected more than 19,500 bags and diverted approximately 11 tons of plastics, the equivalent to approximately 8.6 million snack-sized chip bags, from the landfill.

Our city is indisputably America's Finest, but as rent prices soar and wages stagnate, you might find it difficult to indulge in every Taco Tuesday, beer festival, or TJ day-trip that comes your way. Instead of spending money to have fun, take comfort in our never-ending San Diego sunshine and the many free things to do to chase those empty-wallet blues away. From waterfront relaxation to checking out new works of art, here's a list of free things that'll keep you active, cultured, and entertained in the city of San Diego.
Stroll through Little Italy
On any given day (or evening) in Little Italy, you can find an array of fun stuff to explore. From yoga classes in the Piazza to live outdoor bands, or even an outdoor film festival; just make sure to bring your own blanket for any film viewing.
Visit the Self-Realization Fellowship Meditation Garden
If you're looking for some rest and relaxation or just a pretty place to take a selfie, these meditation gardens in either the Encinitas or Banker's Hill location are just the spot. Open to the public, the gardens include quiet nooks to reflect, koi ponds, and plenty of peaceful tranquility.
Window-shop on Cedros Avenue
Resist the temptation to take everything home with you as you stroll down charming Cedros Avenue in Solana Beach. More than 85 unique shops including antique, home, and art galleries can be found in these 2 1/2 seaside blocks. Visit on Sundays and you'll get to browse the farmers market from 12-4pm.

Stay after for a tasty brunch at their Topside Kitchen & Bar.

You can meet new people and help your community by donating your time to the San Diego Food Bank, where volunteers are regularly needed to sort food, assemble packages, and more. Failing that, you can help the homeless crisis in San Diego by serving food at Fr. Joe's Villages, or keep our beaches pristine with cleanups hosted by The Surfrider Foundation.
Anza-Borrego Desert State Park
Open from dawn until dusk, Anza-Borrego is free and open to the public -- which means you get to enjoy hiking, camping, and free programs like star-gazing. Just check weather temps... it is a desert, after all.

33 beaches

Smile Card
This card was made from an image I colored a while back when I was on a cruise. So I thought I should use it. I love to color, I have a huge stash in a box that I need to use.
I wanted to put a different sentiment on this but couldn't think of who you would ever send it too. So the You make my whole face smile was fitting because she has cheery colors.
I hope you enjoyed her. I will be posting soon for Queen Kat Designs so please come back soon to see what I get to play with.
God Bless your day and thank you for stopping by.

Sometimes I think that it could be easier to teach lower grades science but then whenever I have to explain science to some of the students that I tutor, it becomes a little challenging. I used to think that the younger the students, the easier it is to teach but after doing my Field Experience in different grade levels over the years, I have realized that it is the other way around, at least in my perspective. As a future teacher, I would like to learn different Science Strategies that could be used for students in the lower grades when teaching science. Is anyone willing to share some of the science strategies that could be used for Early Childhood?

Hello Mariana,
I hope I can help! Every issue of the Science and Children issue is available within the Learning Center, and all include at least two free articles! These have strategies for all early childhood and elementary students, so I would browse through to see if you find anything specific to the age(s) you're working with. Check them out here:
Please let me know if you find an article that you enjoy!
Does anyone else have a helpful tool to share?

We met a friend in Arab Street yesterday, and it felt almost refreshing to be out amongst adults only.
Wife missed the baby but I was like 'YESSS! No baby! WooHoo!! FREEEDOMMMM!!'
Anyway… we took the mrt to Bugis Station.
Then headed to the creatively-named shopping centre Bugis Junction.
There a few cool shops.
Met up with the friend, grabbed a quick bite and headed to nearby Arab Street.
… but I wasn't in the mood for cat burgers. That's what I assume they serve. As well as other cat dishes.
My old school is near Arab Street, so in a way I grew up here. And it has changed so much, that it's almost unrecognisable.
It used to be very quiet around the iconic Sultan Mosque area, which holds the sultan's tomb.
But now clubs and bars and hipster-ish shops and cafes have sprung up around the area like mushrooms.
It's cool and all, and I really like some of the cafes. But it also attracts those annoying young people from western countries who watch movies about Asia and come here to 'find themselves' in an 'exotic location'. GAHHHH.
So back to the cafes. We went to an OK one called La Marelle (naturally).
I really like these old shophouses. Picturing how people used to live in them a long time ago.
The place was alright. The chicken burgers were really good, but the coffee was alright. Overall not a bad place to hang out it. The music wasn't too loud like in some other cafes that clearly aspire to be clubs.
After that it was a short walk down to and past Sultan Mosque.

When the world's elite motorcycle racers were scheduled to return to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, we knew a bold, revolutionary campaign was needed to resonate with fans. For one weekend a year, motorcyclists owned the region and it was time to celebrate the two-wheel lifestyle. Let's Roll.
Print Ad
Our bold, revolutionary campaign stood out in motorcycle magazines. A variety of ads were created to target rider segments.
World-class MotoGP racing really comes to life through digital video. MK+R dialed up the intensity further with a bold visual treatment that showcased the excitement of the event and the talents and risks the riders take.
Commemorative race posters and dealer kits were distributed to motorcycle dealers in the region to promote the race. MK+R created kits with introductory letters, posters, flyers, email templates and banners to help further promote the race throughout the community.
As part of the race festivities, thousands of motorcycle riders of all types converge on downtown Indianapolis for Motorcycles on Meridian. Strategically placed branded newsboxes welcomed race fans and promoted the event to all in attendance.
OOH boards provided a perfect balance of awareness and pertinent information about the upcoming race.

Aaron Rizzo Premieres New Song "Where Your Lips Have Been"
- In January 2017, New York-based singer-songwriter and guitarist Aaron Rizzo released a debut album "Blck Tee Shrt", which featured blues, rock, R&B and pop music with his incredable guitar play.
On May 11th, he released a new song "Where Your Lips Have Been" following the debut album via streaming music services.
It was written by Aaron Rizzo and produced by Elliot Lowe and Aaron Rizzo. The song is similar to "3AM" and "Every Hour Is Midnight" in the debut album. Also the track reminds us of John Mayer.
Aaron Rizzo began his musical career playing in various rock, blues and jazz bands, later graduating into a pursuit of a solo career.
He studied the art of music recording under the direction of Alex Perialas and Michael Caporizzo.
In 2016, he released a debut EP "Ambient Sessions", consisting of all instrumental songs, and you can hear his amazing guitar play.
He will embark Blck Tee Shrt Summer Tour with Tristem Jarvis, Eric Myers, Tom Iandolo and Dunham Hall.

Ugly, isn't it. Putting the despicable character and fictional murder aside, much of what Jack Nicholson/Colonel Jessup says is actually very true. Protecting the USA and the liberties we take for granted is an ugly business. War is horrible but we do need people willing to pick up guns and stand posts to protect us.
Today, we recognize Vets who served in unpopular and/or often overlooked wars, conflicts and missions. Specifically, Vets that people don't always want to think about who did stand on "that wall" so that I can write this and you can disagree with it without fear of repercussions.
A Partial List
Some of the wars, conflicts and missions I think are overlooked or not discussed, include but are certainly not limited to:
Korean War and our Troops in South Korea Today. Often called the "Forgotten War," our troops stay there today and while it may be "safer" than the Middle East right now, it's a very volatile and dangerous place protected by multiple branches of the US Armed Services.
Bay of Pigs. Few people really know which Vets supported the CIA (but I'm sure they are out there). Those who do know literally are a dying breed.
Dominican Republic Operation Power Pack, 1965-1965. Often overlooked completely due to Vietnam, Lyndon Johnson ordered an invasion following questionable elections, coups, general instability and emerging civil war. He feared, rightly or wrongly, that the DR would become a new "Cuba." Over the course of the 1.5 year invasion, 42,000 Americans served in the Dominican Republic and at its height, there was a peacekeeping force of 23,000. Few few people (including myself) remember or even know about this. The April 28, 1965 invasion was led (again) by US Marines and the Army 82nd Airborne Division.
Lebanon Peacekeeping Mission, 1982 to 1984. Many people forget this, even though 241-plus Marines, Sailors and Soldiers killed by suicide bombers in the October 1983 bombing of our Beirut Barracks.
Grenada "Operation Urgent Fury," October 1983. Many people remember Marines rescuing medical students, but the primary objective was preventing Grenada from becoming a new Cuba. The initial invasion was by a force largely of made of Navy Seals, Army Rangers and the 82nd Army Airborne.
Panama Operation Just Cause, December 1989. Primarily US Army and initial invasion by 82 Airborne. Along with capturing Manuel Noriega on drug charges, the goals were to stabilize the country after attempted coups to oust Noriega, maintain safe passage through the Panama Canal, and protecting US Bases and Military Training Facilities in Panama.
Iraq/Kuwait Operation Desert Shield, 1990-91 and Desert Storm (First Iraq War), January – Februrary 1991. Multiple branches of US Armed Forces joined NATO alliance to kick Iraq out of Kuwait.
Battle of Mogadishu, Somalia (Black Hawk Down), October 1993. US Army including 75th Ranger Regiment, 82nd Airborne, and "Delta" Force, with goal of capturing key supporters of warlord/terrorist Mohamed Farrah Aidid.
Peacekeeping in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina following Dissolution of Yugoslavia, 1992-1995. Multiple branches of US Armed Forces as part of United Natoins Protection Force (UNPROFOR).
Countless Missions throughout the world that you will never hear about and others that I'm sure I've omitted unintentionally.
The point: much of what our Vets do is not well-remembered or recognized. And often, "missions" are covert or not classified as combat. The result: many of servicemen and women have difficulty becoming recognized as "Combat Veterans."
Were Many of These Undertakings Controversial? Definitely
I remember arguments of mass proportion over Vietnam when I was a young. One thing everyone did agree on: never blame the Vet. While I don't agree with the Iraq War and certain things related to Afghanistan, I blame politicians, never troops. (By the way Mr. Obama: when will you bring them home? It's time to keep that promise?)
Special Thanks to Those Who Can't Discuss What They Did
Based on public information (and much remains classified decades later), Vets involved in the above actions were members of Air Force, Army, Coast Guard and Navy Special Forces and specially trained units. For many years, the Marines did not have a specifically designated Special Forces unit, instead they routinely supported (and still do support) missions undertaken by all of the above.
Our Apologies: We Missed Something
We want to thank a commenter who pointed an error out to us in an early version of this post. In February 2006, the US Marines officially activated the Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC). MARSOC's primary missions are typically special reconnaissance, direct action, and internal defense within foreign nations.
While we did do a lot of research for this post, the US Marine's recently moved their website and we had trouble finding information we could confirm. We apologize to anyone that was offended by this eror. .
We want to thank Special Forces because many who survive aren't allowed to discuss what they did or why.
Nobody knows the horror of war more than the men and women who fight them. But it's often necessary so that we have the freedom to do what we want. Most Americans rarely hear what our Special Forces and other elite divisions do. The wide publicity (and big mouths that should have stayed shut) when the Seals got Osama bin Laden was a rare exception.
Many Americans don't like to hear about these things, particularly Special Ops and/or "Black Ops." Remember: one reason you can express your opinions freely is because these things did, and still will, happen.
In a lot of other countries, not only would the person who voiced his/her opinion disappear, so would most or all of his/her family.
For Those High and Mighty about our Wars, Missions and Conflicts
If you don't like what our forces have done and surely will continue to do, here are my personal suggestions:
- Vote and do so wisely.
- Join the military and see if you can rise to a point where you have better ideas
- Thank those who are and were willing to die so you can insult them without recourse.
- Find a country you think is better and move there.
I honestly used to think I'd never say or write the 3rd bullet. But that was before I got to know a lot of Vets from special units, many who served in the conflicts mentioned above.
What's In Your Garage?
Here's a photo of my garage and the flag that stands outside the house next to it. I take this post personally because it is personal to me.
My husband was with the 82nd Airborne and remembers the deaths of many killed in combat, most especially, Captain Michael F. Ritz in Grenada. Many of our friends and family are Vets, dating back to World War I through current and recent service in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I also have two friends from college whose parents and grandparents were of Jewish and/or Basque (gypsy) descent. Both families escaped Germany and settled in Argentina.
Both families moved from Argentina to the US because they weren't safe due to their actual or perceived politics. One's father and uncles were part of the "the disappeared" (los desaparecidos) murdered by the state during Argentina's "Dirty War."
So, yeah, I really do appreciate what the spirit and efforts of our troops. I do want people standing on walls protecting me. Even though Colonel Jessup /Jack Nicholson was an ugly, his initial intentions were very good indeed.
And I am very thankful to all of the Veterans, male and female, young and old who have made this country one of the best places to live.Thanks the many places from which we obtained photos used in this post. Except for the Top Secret one and those otherwise marked under our copyright, we thank the US Army, US Navy, Wikipedia, the State of Washington and others who posted this content under the "public domain." We also thank Columbia Pictures and Rob Reiner for making A Few Good Men, though I sense Mr. Reiner may not agree with much of this post. Which is his right, largely thanks to our Veterans.(Marines, in particular, are expected to be bad-ass.)

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by Broke and Bookish. Each week a new list topic is posted, and book bloggers fill in their choices. This week's topic is "My Bookish Bucket List.
Here's mine:
1. Read more classics. There are so many classics that are free on Amazon, so I have tons downloaded on my Kindle. I really need to start them soon!
2. Meet more of my favorite authors. I've been lucky enough to meet many of my favorite authors, but I'd love to meet some such as Lauren DeStefano, Cassandra Clare, John Green, and Kasie West.
3. Read the Harry Potter books. Can you believe I've never read them? *ducks* I know, I know. I'd like to give them a try eventually.
4. Have a library in my house. I'm only 16, but once I move out and get my own apartment or house, I'm definitely going to have my own personal library! I've gotten so much inspiration and ideas from seeing libraries and bookshelves on Pinterest.
5. Do more bookish crafts. I'm big into DIY and quirky crafts, and I really want to start doing more book-related crafts. Again - I have tons of ideas from stuff I've pinned on Pinterest, so I want to try it soon!
6. Go to more events and conferences. It feels like I'm one of the few bloggers who hasn't attended BEA or ALA or something similar, and I am absolutely dying to go sometime.
7. Visit bookish places. I would love the chance to visit the settings of Jane Austen novels, the Anne of Green Gables series, or even go to New Zealand to see where they filmed The Lord of the Rings. *sigh* A girl can dream, right?
8. Get blurbed. I think it's safe to say that this is every book blogger's dream. Who wouldn't want a snippet of their review to be featured inside a book?
9. Read all the books I own. This was actually one of my New Year's Resolutions. :) So far, I've already knocked out seven or eight, and I think I have around fifteen left.
10. Have a bookish engagement photoshoot or bookish wedding. How amazing would this be? Not to mention Pinterest again (can you tell I'm addicted?), but there's so many great ideas and inspiration to be found there. At the very least, I'm going to do a book-themed photoshoot for my senior pictures next year! But a literary/bookish wedding (think Pride & Prejudice) would be so much fun.
What's on your Top Ten Tuesday list?

Top Ten Tuesday: Bookish Bucket List
3 comments:
I also should've added "read all books you own"! I tend to buy new ones, but then forget to read them because I've bough a new batch of books! Great list. :)ReplyDelete
I love your list! Lots of fun but still practical. :) I love the idea of visiting places from books. The Pride and Prejudice themed wedding (or engagement) shoot really appeals to me... I might have to do that when the time come as well. :)ReplyDelete
I feel so old now I'm getting the the age where kids haven't read Harry Potter *sobs* that was my childhood *more sobbing*ReplyDelete
Seriously, READ THEM. Pleeeease.

Disaster authorities in Tonga say power is off on the southern island of 'Eua but the main island of Tongatapu was relatively unscathed by Cyclone Keni.
The cyclone moved to the south-southwest of Tonga as a category three storm this morning.
However, National Emergency Management Director Leveni 'Aho said it was nearly 300 kilometres away from the main island so there were few reports of damage at this stage.
"There's a few powerlines down but I think most of the trees have been cleaned out two months ago so there is not that many trees down but I mean the wind wasn't as strong as compared to what happened in [Cyclone] Gita. But the island of 'Eua, some damages to the hospital there and also most of the power in 'Eua is off."
Police said up to half of the hospital's roof had been ripped off and one person had sustained minor injuries.
A few houses were also thought to have been damaged at Angaha.
Leveni 'Aho said he expected power to be restored to 'Eua and pockets of Tongatapu within the next few days.

When you combine these together into your Downey exercise, you will be certain of getting the results you desire.

Our Downey clients tend to be the folks that motivate themselves hard, and of course, if we were not in Downey these members would enjoy minimal possibilites in regards to a bootcamp. In particular one which promises you results or gives your money back, such as ours.

From the start, stakeholder engagement and feedback has been an important part of the Department of Health Care Services' (DHCS') work on the Coordinated Care Initiative (CCI). As part of an ongoing commitment to working collaboratively in developing beneficiary materials, DHCS is releasing for stakeholder comment a new draft Medi-Cal Managed Care Plan Guide and Choice Book.
These materials will be mailed to two groups of dual eligible beneficiaries:
- New dual eligible beneficiaries who have Medicare first and later gain Medi-Cal eligibility in CCI counties; and
- Existing dual eligible beneficiaries who move into a CCI county.
These materials will be mailed to the aforementioned beneficiaries as a part of their regular enrollment process. All of these beneficiaries are already required to enroll into a Medi-Cal managed care health plans (MCP) for their Managed Long-Term Services and Supports (MLTSS) in order to receive their Medi-Cal benefits. These draft materials will ensure that this group of beneficiaries receives information on all of their available options – including Cal MediConnect.
The new materials incorporate some of the lessons DHCS has learned to date about how to communicate with dual eligible beneficiaries about the CCI, including lessons learned from stakeholder input and beneficiary testing of previous materials. It is important to note that prior to being finalized these materials will undergo a final literacy review to ensure that they meet readability standards and are not above a sixth-grade reading level. All final materials will also be translated into threshold languages and available in accessible formats, as required.
You can find the materials posted below. Please submit your comments, edits, or questions to email@example.com by October 2, 2015.
As always, your participation is very important to us as we continue to implement the CCI. We look forward to receiving and reviewing your input.
***The materials linked below are DRAFT and have been posted for stakeholder review only.
They should not be used to choose a health plan.

The US Supreme Court is back in session Monday to tackle major social issues such as same-sex marriage and affirmative action, as well as a high-profile international human rights case.
On its first day back in session, the highest US court will start off by reexamining a suit, alleging complicity in acts of torture, against Dutch oil giant Shell in Nigeria.
Twelve Nigerians accuse Shell of becoming an accomplice to torture, extrajudicial executions and crimes against humanity in the Niger Delta region.
The nine justices will decide whether to hold major companies liable for crimes committed outside US borders by virtue of the Alien Tort Statute, a law passed two centuries ago.
"ATS clearly covers those violations," said Carey D'Avino, one of the plaintiffs' attorneys. "There's nothing in the ATS that violates domestic and international laws."
Not everyone is so sure.
The Supreme Court could be "afraid of some kind of backlash, what other nations will think of us," said constitutional lawyer Lisa Blatt.
In what could be the term's most prominent case, the justices will take up affirmative action at the University of Texas.
The policy, aimed at correcting historic imbalances in education by favoring US minorities in public university admissions and other circumstances, has come under increasing scrutiny in the wake of a growing minority population.
A white student is accusing the university of using quotas for racial and ethnic minority groups in university admissions in a way she claims violates her US constitutional rights.
It will be the first time the court takes up the controversial issue since its 2003 ruling saying racial or ethnic quotas did not violate the US Constitution.
But since then, the makeup of the court has changed to make it "the most conservative in a lifetime," giving greater likely voice to affirmative action opponents, said Georgetown Law professor Louis Seidman.
Alan Morrison of The George Washington University Law School stressed that "there's a lot at stake and plenty of reasons to be concerned." He called the affirmative action decision "crucial," saying it would be felt at all US universities, both public and private.
Among the fairly rare national security issues to come before the court will be a case on wiretapping and human rights due to be examined on October 29. And on October 31, the justices are set to address whether the use of drug-sniffing dogs violates constitutional rights.
Still, in terms of social reach, it is the court's looming moves on same-sex marriage that have both captured a lot of Americans' attention and fueled strong reactions.
All eyes will be riveted on the court when it takes up any of at least eight appeals in line for consideration.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg herself has said that "it's most likely that we will have that issue before the court toward the end of the current term."
James Esseks of the American Civil Liberties Union rights group suggested the court will agree in November to take up some months later the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), a law that defines marriage as a legal union of a man and woman.
The case addresses federal rights granted to heterosexual spouses — such as inheritance rights, tax benefits and immigration rights — but denied to same-sex couples, even though they are legally wed in several US states.
Attorney Paul Smith said the court would act now on gay marriage. "It is very, very likely they will take one (case). It would create an enormous chaos not to take one."
Neal Katyal, a former top US government attorney under President Barack Obama, said "the court has to take DOMA but they don't have to take Prop 8," referring to California's same-sex marriage law.
Republicans reject charges that DOMA violates the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment of the US Constitution.
After long side-stepping the issue, Obama put his reelection bid on the line by publicly endorsing gay marriage in May in a surprise move designed to draw a sharp contrast with Romney, his Republican rival who opposes same-sex unions.
Legal marriage between two men or two women is not recognized by the US federal government but is now allowed in six of the 50 US states and in the capital, Washington.
