Description of problem:
The problem occurs on a machine with 512MB RAM and 1024MB swap. top reports
about 200MB free RAM (not actually free, but used for cache and buffers). Used
swap space varies between 15MB and 25MB.
iostat (and sar) report that the swap partition is busy (about 15 transaction
per second).
In my opinion the system shouldn't swap at all while there is enough RAM
available. Even if one considers that swapping out unused program parts to use
the freed RAM for harddisk cache might be more efficient there's absolutely no
justification for this heavy swap activity.
I've disabled swap (via swapoff) to avoid burning out yet another harddisk (one
rests in peace already due to a similar problem). This resulted in about 20MB
less free RAM, but the system appears to run fine. I'd prefer a less drastic
solution, though.
Are there any options in /proc/sys I could use to make swapping out less
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot.
2. Wait a few minutes.
3. Watch HD activity light flicker.
Actual Results: Heavy swapping.
Expected Results: No swapping.
Additional info:
The software running on this system is making heavy use of anonymous mmap().

Morning Rise started from humble beginnings. Years ago, Joy and her husband used to run a florists from a market stall in Derby. Joy found herself helping homeless people who tended to congregate around the market. It was clear that many of the homeless people had mental health needs.
Eventually, Joy and her husband decided that she would like to provide assistance on a more formal basis and after consultation with appropriate professionals began to accept people in need into their family home. A number of people moved in following the closure of Pastures psychiatric hospital in Derby. The family home has been extended over the years and has now evolved into Morning Rise supported housing.
Morning Rise is a Derbyshire Accommodation and Support Team Provider (DAST)
DAST provides accommodation and support services for adults experiencing mental ill health, in some cases, complex needs that are challenging to place in alternative settings other than residential care.
We currently have a maximum of 16 service users, both male and female. All residents have their own rooms and there are also shared facilities, communal areas and large gardens. There are no age restrictions to stay at Morning Rise with us.

text: Not enough jobs are being created in the private sector to keep up with the number of new workers who are entering the labor market. According to an AFL-CIO blog (June 7, 2010), 38 percent of Americans report that either they or someone close to them has lost a job. There are officially almost 15 million Americans now out of work, mostly due to the current economic crisis. But if those who are involuntarily working part-time and if discouraged workers are taken into account, the number is much higher.

Fees from Febuary 2016
We are very conscious of the needs of parents when raising fees and it is something we do with reluctance, but out of necessity to meet our overheads and to ensure we continue the quality of care we provide, it is with regret that we are increasing fees.
We have tried to keep the increases to a minimum and do not look to increase fees unless absolutely essential, this is our first increase for 3 years, we have now got to the stage where the inevitable has to happen. We feel it is only fair to give parents time to consider other options should they need to do so, but more importantly to plan ahead with this in mind we are not implementing the fee increase until February 2016.

Monday, September 27th
Chris Kegel Day.
We are floored. There are no words that can describe how perfect Sunday was, so we will tell a story in pictures.
The Start Line:
8:00am... the positive energy is humming. Volunteers arrive early to help us set up as our friends at Trek drop off 1,000 T-shirts with Chris' smiling face in his favorite color- hi-vis yellow. Kevin Hardman (long time friend and DRI for getting this whole party started) is calm and smiling as we all soak up the calm before the storm. By 9:30am, we run out of T-shirts. The start line is packed with riders of all ages and bike-types, a sight that would make Chris so proud. It was a beautiful. At 9:55am, the Kegel kids climb on top of the Wheel & Sprocket van and share their appreciation for all of the people in front of them, and reiterate how amazing it is to grow up with a dad like Chris Kegel.
The Ride:
The ride goes off without a hitch along the Hank Aaron State Trail heading east to Lake Shore State Park. With well over 1,000 riders and the average bike spanning 5.5 feet, we estimate that our ride takes up a good mile of cyclists sharing their love for Chris. As we rolled slow, the conversation flows and the good juju reverberates around the city.
Banner Signing at Lake Shore State Park:
It was wonderful. The ride, the weather, the love of all of these people on bikes. Our favorite stories include people who haven't been on bikes in years who decided today was a day to ride, people who have never experienced this trail before enjoying the beauty of Milwaukee from a new perspective, and people enjoying the magic of what a bike ride can do to lift your spirit.
The Trek After Party at Kegel's Inn:
We cannot express our gratitude to Trek Bicycles for putting on this party. A lot of people may know that Wheel & Sprocket and Trek have a great business relationship, but maybe do not know how deep the Kegel and Burke family relationship runs. The first day Chris was out of surgery, John Burke along with the key people at Trek are by his side. The Tuesday before this Sunday's party, we had a meeting on how to throw the most epic event of his life... and we think we nailed it. Thank you again EVERYONE for the best day ever: Chris Kegel Day.
The Family Reunion:
HUGE SHOUT OUTS MUST GO TO: John Burke and Trek Bicycle (For donating T-shirts, all of the logistics, employees, & supplies for the after party, and for the all around support), Kevin Hardman (Lead Planner for the Whole Shebang), The Wisconsin Bike Fed- specifically Dave Schlabowske and Wendy Hanisch (Photos and volunteer coordination), Tom Schuler and Team Sports (Course marking and Marshaling), Wisconsin State Fair Park (Parking and logistics), Dean Seher and Clearchannel Outdoor (Digital Billboards to get the word out) and all of our friends who came out to make this day so incredibly memorable in such a short period of time.

Gaborone — Government does not intend to dominate the television space especially with regard to youth television.
Officially launching the youth TV channel, Minister of Youth Empowerment, Sport and Culture Development, Thapelo Olopeng said going forward the youth channel would seek to be self-financing through commercial ventures in partnership with private sector investors.
"I wish to appeal to the private sector to support this new baby. This is a major milestone in the ministry's endeavour to promote the arts and empower the youth," he said.
Dubbed NOW TV, Olopeng said his greatest pleasure was that young people with the ability to produce TV productions now had a place to air them.
He said the dream to introduce a new medium of expression, entertainment and engagement for young people in the country started late 2015.
"And to achieve this, we first went through a process to seek permission from government as the broadcasting portfolio resides with another ministry. We were happy when this was granted by Cabinet to which conceptualisation, planning, resource mobilisation and execution followed. The project started with a limited budget of P10million," said the Tonota legislator.
Olopeng indicated that content was acquired from local production companies through an Expression Of Interest and the key condition was that it should be local content.
He noted that over 40 companies showed interest and they were able to procure from 22 companies due to a limited budget.
The minister said the youth TV channel would offer a variety of genres ranging from sport, comedy, talk show, drama, soapies and documentary all created by Batswana youth.
"They are all fresh, new content that is exclusive to our youth TV channel. We will continue to engage with content creators for the long term sustainability of the service. What pleases me nonetheless is that the channel will play 100 per cent local content for a start," he said.
Olopeng said in 2008, government introduced various programmes to promote the arts and this has cultivated the ground and exposed local artistic talent.
He said as a result, Botswana art has come of age and this has been demonstrated by the recent performances and achievements of local artistes which were appreciated both locally and abroad.
"Some of our local artistes and models are currently engaged in international productions in different countries. Furthermore, young Batswana have been educated in some of the best theatre and film schools," he continued, adding that however, they have had limited opportunities to showcase their talent and express themselves.
He said a platform such as the youth TV channel provided such an opportunity and through interaction with the youth largely on social media platforms and in various consultative forums, it became clear that time had come for the television space in Botswana to accommodate a youth TV channel.
Olopeng said the youth TV channel would broadcast throughout Botswana on the digital terrestrial platform which requires an ISDB-T set-top box.
"I am aware of limited availability of set-top boxes in the market currently. This remains a business opportunity for entrepreneurs to service the television market in Botswana. The channel is available on satellite feed to air via dvb-S2 MPEG-4," he said.
He further said any decoder that is able to receive high definition signals should pick-up the channel and the service would also be receivable online by anyone with Internet access.
Olopeng said his ministry continues to engage with digital satellite TV providers to maximise receiving platforms for viewers.
"We will further explore reception on hand-held and portable devices in the course of time. In its humble beginnings, the youth TV channel will be limited to four hours a day due to limited financial resources," he said, further adding that the duration would increase gradually over the next 12 months to 24 hours.
"I therefore encourage you to work hard and produce quality content for your channel. Young people with a passion for a career in film production will find jobs from various production houses," he said.
He commended Limkokwing University of Creative Technology for its support and contribution to the channel.
"Through its generous support for this project, Limkokwing University has demonstrated commendable social corporate responsibility," he concluded.
For his part, Assistant Minister of Youth Empowerment, Sport and Culture Development, Kefentse Mzwinila said the ultimate goal of the youth TV channel was job creation.
"We are providing an alternative market and much needed avenue for our youth to shine and get those important jobs and develop the creative industry," he said.
He said government was committed to the long term development of this nation and the youth TV channel would go a long way in making this happen.
"The youth TV channel will encourage ownership and sense of responsibility for our youth," he concluded.
The ministry permanent secretary, Kago Ramokate said the launch of the youth TV channel was an exciting time for his ministry and that the channel could not have come at a better time for the development of the youth.

Foundation Recognizing Hollen with Award for Outstanding Individual Achievement
In recognition of his illustrious career as a credit union leader, one defined by bold risks, deep generosity, and resolute adherence to the core values of the movement, the National Credit Union Foundation has announced Stan Hollen, retired president/CEO of CO-OP Financial Services, as the recipient of a 2017 Herb Wegner Memorial Award for Outstanding Individual Achievement.
Hollen's award will be one of three Herb Wegner Memorial Awards presented at a special dinner hosted by the Foundation at the Marriott Marquis Washington on Feb. 27, 2017, in conjunction with the Credit Union National Association's 2017 Governmental Affairs Conference. Registration for dinner tickets and sponsorships will be available within the next month on the Foundation website (ncuf.coop).
"I don't think anyone in the industry would be surprised to see Stan as a Wegner Award recipient," said John Gregoire, chair of the Foundation's Wegner Awards Selection Committee and president of The ProCon Group. "His resume, contributions, and impact on the movement are well known, including the impressive list of CEOs who have followed in his footsteps from 'The Golden One.'"
A Change Agent
Hollen has filled a wide variety of leadership roles throughout his career, from serving on his credit union's board of directors at age 19 to becoming president/CEO of CO-OP Financial Services, the nation's largest credit union service organization, in 2005. During his tenure at CO-OP, Hollen pursued a range of innovative business initiatives and strategies that significantly increased the company's ability to improve the financial lives of credit union members.
While building CO-OP as a payments and networked-services company for the credit union movement, some of Hollen's most notable achievements include: enhancing CO-OP's ATM and debit network with new features including shared branching, call center services and mobile banking; spearheading the acquisition of Everlink Payment Services, Inc; and launching a partnership with The Member's Group (TMG) to enhance CO-OP's credit processing capacities.
Hollen retired from CO-OP in July of 2016 but will continue to serve the company as a strategic consultant. At the time of his departure, the company had expanded its shared branching network to more than 5,400 locations and had built up more than 30,000 ATMs.
"Stan is a catalyst of change," said Diana R. Dykstra, president/CEO of California and Nevada Credit Union Leagues. "He has never been satisfied with status quo and pushes himself and others around him to continually enhance and develop new ways to serve and enhance the lives of members."
Championing Future Leaders
For Hollen, strengthening the credit union movement includes strengthening credit union professionals. In this area, his most notable work has been mentoring new credit union leaders by bringing them onto his executive team and providing them with meaningful experience in high-level management and operations.
Sixteen of Hollen's former apprentices have gone on to become CEOs in their own right, more than any other mentor in the credit union movement. Paul Gentile, president/CEO of the Cooperative Credit Union Association and a colleague of Hollen's, has dubbed him "the ultimate CEO Maker." He has also been widely lauded for placing women in prominent leadership positions, earning the Athena Leadership Award for his progressive appointments and his support of the Global Women Leadership Network.
In 2008, Hollen launched CO-OP Financial Services' THINK Conference, an annual event that provides credit union professionals an opportunity to hear from innovative thinkers outside the industry and experience divergent thinking on topics such as culture change, growth, and the credit union philosophy of "People Helping People." The conference currently draws an annual attendance of more than 600 attendees.
"I first met Stan when I was a young CEO in the 1990's and he was CEO of The Golden 1 Credit Union," said Douglas M. Allman, CEO of NASA Federal CU. "I was fortunate to have learned from mentoring collaborations with him. His passion has truly been to spread the credit union philosophy by engaging future leaders to be involved, develop and achieve—for the betterment of credit unions and their members."
Uniting the Movement for Good
In 2008, Hollen founded the CO-OP Miracle Match, a philanthropic fund that matches donations to Credit Unions for Kids, a fundraising vehicle for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, up to $1 million per year. By launching this initiative, Hollen has helped provide vital health care of more than 10 million kids and funded research and equipment purchases.
As further proof of his commitment to helping children, Hollen got CO-OP involved in sponsoring, overseeing, and underwriting various CU4Kids projects, campaigns, and events. He also served on the CU4Kids advisory board from 2006 to his retirement in 2016, and joined the board of directors of CMN Hospitals in 2010. He continues to serve as a reliable advocate for children's well-being.
"As a father of children who spent more than three months in a Children's Miracle Network hospital at birth to overcome challenges, Stan's dedication to the Children's Miracle Match program leaves an indelible mark of caring and compassion that can never be forgotten," said Gentile.
About the Herb Wegner Memorial Awards
The awards are named in honor of the late Credit Union National Association CEO Herb Wegner, whose tireless dedication, innovative ideas and deeds truly revolutionized the ways that credit unions serve their communities. The awards that bear Wegner's name recognize his spirit of "innovative, creative, risk-taking" leadership. View past award recipients here.

*For most people, Christmas is the perfect excuse or reason to spend time with family. But what if you're someone who goes most of your life without knowing your father and family? Then of course Christmas time can be somewhat incomplete.
That was the situation for EUR/RadioScope's LaRita Shelby. Yes, we said it WAS the situation 'cause it's a new day for Ms. Shelby. You see, after searching for her father for all of her life, she finally found him. That means this Christmas is going to one unlike any other for her.
LaRita – who also renowned as an actress and jazz singer/writer – with her recently recorded CD, "Date With A Song," is here to share her happy Christmas tale with one and all. Enjoy and Merry Christmas from EUR!
My "Date With A Song" has turned out to be a date with destiny! Following my passion in music has led me on a path to many miracles and now to Mississippi for the 1st time to see the father and the family that I never knew.
I was born in Nashville and my mother and I lived across the street from Tennessee State University. As a toddler, I remember visits from a nice gentleman that my mother said was my father, Calvin Shelby. By the 1970's mother Florence Hawkins moved to Detroit and I moved to Washington, D.C. to live with Aunt Mary and Uncle Bill.
My life has been filled with great men and women who have loved and mentored me from my god-parents (The Greens of Nashville), to my mother's family (The Hawkins) and many more. There was never a lack of love or a sense of belonging, but I never forgot my daddy. Whenever I asked, nothing was said. In 1993, when my mother died suddenly, I knew that I had to take up the search on my own. No new information had ever surfaced during my High School years in Memphis, or in my college years in Los Angeles. I married briefly in 1997 but up until then, I was an only child with no children. I now have a thirteen year old son named Justin.
In 1994, my search (assisted by a devoted friend) led me to another Calvin Shelby who lived in Jolliet, Illinois. DNA proved that he was not my father but the first miracle is that he, his wife and children decided to be a surrogate family to me anyway. An instant sisterly bond was formed by me and his daughter Eartha Shelby. I had never really known any Shelby's like this before. Both Calvin and Eartha Shelby passed away in January and February of 2010.
On Sunday, February 22nd 2009 at about 11:00 pm, I heard the voice within say; "Put your daddy's name in the Google search, there was no Google when you searched before." That search revealed an article by Steve Penn in the Kansas City Star on Calvin and Benny Shelby, owners of the Kansas City Blues and Jazz Juke House in Kansas City, Kansas. I had found a connection to jazz and to my father! I sent a note and a copy of my jazz CD. I only communicated that I thought I might be related. Between 2009 and November 2010, only 2 conversations took place. Kansas City Calvin never responded but I did speak to his brother Benny. He was reluctant to engage the possibility of any relation, but given more details about Nashville, he now had a hunch that my dad might be his cousin Calvin Shelby, who had worked at Tennessee State University and was now living back home in Mississippi.
On Monday, December 8th 2010, my letter arrived from Benny Shelby stating that he had spoken with his cousin Calvin's sisters and that he thought that he had found my father. He gave me the number to Dr. Ariedell Shelby-Stewart in Huntsville, Alabama. This was my Aunt Ariedell who received my call with such excitement! Then, she informed me that they had all known about me since I was baby but never knew where to find me. Each day I get calls from across the country from aunts, uncles and cousins that I never knew I had. My dad has two brothers and three sisters remaining of the original eight. Every day family photos are shared on Facebook and introductions occur from any of her 32 FIRST COUSINS!
Though I was mentally and spiritually prepared for any outcome, I did not know that my father spoke of me often, though he never knew if he'd see me again. Calvin is living in a nursing home in Canton, Mississippi but he will visit with his brother Joe and family for the holidays in Greenwood, Mississippi.
This will be my first time seeing him in 40 years! The Shelby family as assured me that they are waiting with open arms, they too have found their missing link. Ironically, all of my elders on my mother's side are deceased, except one, aunt Ritta. My extended family is great but in recent years, there have been more than a few times when I felt all alone in the world and desired the nesting that family can provide. I have found a greater example of faith, hope and love. The abiding love of Christ flows through this family and it supersedes the untold story of what happened between my father and mother. I have no bad memories of my brief time with the two of them and am blessed by people who only speak about the best of both of them. They are not held hostage to my ideals of perfect parenthood, they are endeared to me because their biology is what brought forth the physical manifestation of my human experience. They have now both given me two amazing families. The Hawkins family and my extended family have brought me this far, and now I am blessed to finally have The Shelby family to share the rest of my journey from this point onward. I have worn the Shelby name with pride, now I know why.

Chain Gang Elementary
Feb 25, 2012
After a murder at Bonaire Elementary, Richard and Anna Lee Gray seek a good school for their son Nick in a safe neighborhood. Their search leads them to Malliford, a "school of excellence." When redistricting sends scores of minority students to Malliford, iron-willed Principal Estelle Rutherford declares war on kids to raise test scores and save her reputation. Dissident parents revolt, electing Richard to head the Parent-Teacher Organization, and tensions explode. Welcome to Chain Gang Elementary, home to vast right-wing conspiracies, 3rd-grade gangsters, and bake sale embezzlers–where toxic childhood secrets boil over, reformers go stark raving mad, and culture wars escalate into armed conflict.
Within all these day to day issues, a dark and nasty secret starts to come to the surface. The book takes an ugly turn as hidden agendas....and hidden crimes come to light. Let's just say that adults who perhaps should not be around children...in any way... have their predilections threatened to be discovered and will do anything to keep them hidden.

Posted: 10:51 am Wednesday, August 2nd, 2017
By Jamie Dupree
Faced with a near unanimous message from both parties in Congress, President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed into law a bill that steps up economic sanctions against Russia, which included provisions that would prevent the President from relaxing sanctions put into place by the Obama Administration, in retaliation for Russian interference in the 2016 elections.
Mr. Trump held no signing ceremony for the bill, which also included new sanctions against Iran and North Korea. In a written statement, he expressed his displeasure with the details of the measure.
"While I favor tough measures to punish and deter aggressive and destabilizing behavior by Iran, North Korea, and Russia, this legislation is significantly flawed," the President said.
The last line of the President's statement drew some interest as well.
"I built a truly great company worth many billions of dollars. That is a big part of the reason I was elected. As President, I can make far better deals with foreign countries than Congress," Mr. Trump said.
The sanctions plan had been approved 419-3 in the House, and 98-2 in the Senate, making a veto override almost a certainty, if the President had chosen that route.
The reaction was immediately positive from Republicans in the Congress, many of whom see U.S.-Russian relations in a totally different view from the President.
Pleased @POTUS signed the #RussiaSanctions bill! https://t.co/YzIohqy0K3
— Rep. Pete Olson (@RepPeteOlson) August 2, 2017
The White House had made clear for weeks that the President was not interested in signing the bill, but he had few options, given the level of support in both parties for the move.
"Russia, North Korea and Iran must be held accountable for their continued acts of aggression," said Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX), the chairman of the House Rules Committee.
"This was a necessary step that we took," said Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, who said he spoke with the President at length about the bill last Friday.
Corker on Russia sanctions signing Stmt: "I understand the words ya'll are focused on is 'seriously flawed,' as always, but, whatever…"
— Frank Thorp V (@frankthorp) August 2, 2017
"I think it was long overdue," said Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, which has been investigating Russian meddling in 2016.
Warner told reporters he hoped the new law "would send a strong message to Russia that we can't have interference in our elections going forward."
"The Republican Congress must not permit the Trump White House to wriggle out of its duty to impose these sanctions for Russia's brazen assault on our democracy," said House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi.

"Today we sent a clear message to Moscow that we will not tolerate its attacks on democracy – from interference in our elections to aggression in Ukraine," said Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH).

Why No One Talks About Technology Anymore
Helpful Buying Guide in the Smart Technology Market In this modern day and age, it cannot be denied how much help smart devices have bestowed upon regular people on a daily basis. While one is at home, having a laptop or personal computer is surely of great help. If you are an owner of a computer in your own home, then you have the power to be able to access the internet. If you gain access to the internet, then you will be able to do a lot of things at your own expense with the likes of online shopping, online banking, as well as checking the latest headlines from news websites. In addition, you can even just spend most of your time just surfing the web. While you are doing work, computers also help in making sure that each piece of information is stored properly so that you can make use of them to get only the best results for your benefit. Accessing the internet has become very easy especially for laptop owners who can just bring their computers wherever they go even when they are outside of their homes. However, one disadvantage of having laptop computers is that they can become to bulky to be carrying around wherever you go. Good thing in the recent times and with the recent advancements in technology, anyone can now access the internet in a much better way. These days, one can easily access the internet if they have a tablet or even a smart phone. Such smart devices are not just merely games and having fun. Now, you can easily access a number of applications as well as be able to access the internet, calendars, photos, address books, and your email. When it comes to smart devices, bear in mind that it is only through the legitimate web application stores where you will be able to gain access to their applications to purchase them either at a price or for free. When getting a smart device, you can always opt to get the refurbished version and then decide later on to upgrade to the newest model when you have already learned a thing or two about them. However, if you are on a tight budget, then choose one that just fits within your budget but can also help you out with what you need from it.
The Art of Mastering Resources
Once you have purchased your very own smart device, there is one important thing you have to do and that is backing up your data. Never undermine this simple task because just one wrong move and you could be jeopardizing the privacy of your personal information, photos, and data. You now also have the option to opt for online backup services so that important data is protected when your laptop, tablet, or phone gets lost or stolen.Interesting Research on Gadgets – What No One Ever Told You

Abdulmumin Jibrin, disgruntled member of the House of Representatives, has alleged some actions by the lower parliament geared towards blackmailing the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government.
In his latest revelation on the corruption in the house, Jibrin urged the Executive Arm to stand up to any possible blackmail from the House.
"As you have started noticing, many investigative hearings and ad hoc committees are springing up like mushrooms.
"The investigative hearings are intended to blackmail the executive arm, coax them not to act on the allegations.
"The ad hoc committees are used to settling aggrieved members as it provides avenues to collect bribes.
" You will also notice irrational grandstanding over approval of MTEF/FSP and the budget or correspondence from the President.
"All these are legislative antics employed by the House to use the institution of the House to shield corrupt members.
According to Jibrin, the EFCC and the Police have severally being victims of this kind of evil tactics by the House in the past.
"Finally, I wish to call on the Federal Government to make me face the harshest punishment prescribed by our laws if my allegations are found to be false," Jibrin said, Thursday.
Jibrin was recently suspended for 180 legislative days and barred from taking any office, following his corruption allegation against House principal officers. Jibrin specifically allege Speaker Yakubu Dogara, his deputy, Yussuff Lasun; Minority Leader Leo Ogor and deputy chief whip Doguwa padded the 2016 budget to favour themselves.

Hooked Up!
Sometime this afternoon, I will pull the truck into the backyard and hook up the trailer. Then it's off to dress rehearsal for the Christmas Musical. Then it's an atempt to get a good night's sleep while thinking about the long ride ahead.
Immediatley after the musical tommorow, I leave for Piedras Negras. OK, I see that you caught the use of the word "I" there. Reason for that word is because Vicki must stay behind to care for our grandchildren. The oldest has 3 more days of school before Christmas, so she has to be here.
God has blessed us with the care of these two precious girls. So, our house is very full. And with that comes the duties of parenthood. So, I will make this trip without Vicki, but I will be surrounded by angels, and the King of the universe lives in me via His Holy Spirit. So, I will defenitly NOT be alone.
Pray that the truck and trailer operate smoothly with no problems. Pray that the roads are clear of anything that could cause harm, or slow my progress. Pray that the kids are all well, and are ready to recieve their shoeboxes.
And for those of you who made shoeboxes, rememeber, each day next year, pray for the child who recieved it!
This may be my last blog entry until I return. So God Bless and have a safe week!

Yesterday's political tempest-in-a-teapot over some Republican bigfoot's supposed plan to sink $10 million into an ad campaign highlighting President Obama's ties to hackles-raising preacher Reverend Jeremiah Wright was highly entertaining. Not entertaining in any positive or instructive way, but entertaining in a look-how-idiotic-the-whole-process has become sort of way.
The story, in a nutshell, goes like this:
- The New York Times, in its usual too-cool-for-school fashion, publishes a front page story about how billionaire Republican backer Joe Ricketts plans, through his SuperPAC, to air $10 million worth of negative ads about President Obama's ties to Reverend Wright, The good Reverend, we recall from his brief moment of infamy four years ago, is famous for shouting out incendiary things like "God Damn America" to his cheering constituents (of which Obama was one for many years).
- The Twitterverse erupts in a fury! Obama operatives demand that Romney control this rogue Republican before children start getting hurt! Romneyites tut tut about how the SuperPAC's aren't under the Romney campaign's control and, besides, maybe the media should pay a little attention to Obama's history this time around.
- The cable news networks and the increasingly irrelevant nightly network news programs all make the kerfuffle the focus of the day's coverage – many of them trotting out the exact same damaging footage of Reverend Wright that the ads would presumably have featured.
- Romney issued multiple statements condemning the idea and, eventually, Mr. Ricketts insists this was always just one approach being considered and that the ads probably would never have run anyway.
So, like some political version of the mayfly, the whole story lives and dies within one 24-hour news cycle, and with what result?
Is it a "win" for the Times - a case of good, old-fashioned investigative journalism making the world safer for mom, apple pie and apple-cheeked children everywhere?
Is it a win for Romney, who was allowed to take a principled stand and deplore character-assassinating negative political advertising?
Is it a win for Mr. Ricketts, who gets to generate far more media coverage than his $10 million would have bought, all highlighting the President's ties to a damaging part of his personal history?
Or is it just another sloppy day on the campaign trail, with the usual nitwits striking the usual postures, all in the hopes of tarnishing "the other guy" in order to make a handful of swing voters less comfortable with the idea of him as president?
And to think, we get to enjoy five more months of this daily insult to our collective intelligence.

Martin Schulz calls for ban on Erdoğan rallies in Germany
- Author: Sonia Alvarado Jul 01, 2017,
Jul 01, 2017, 0:11
The German authorities anticipate that Erdogan's visit could trigger unrest in Hamburg, which will host the G20 summit on July 7-8.
He indicated the request will be rejected - that while Erdogan will be received "with honors" at the summit of the 20 leading industrial and emerging countries, "we do not think that anything going beyond this is appropriate at the current time".
German Chancellor Angela Merkel says that European countries will work at the upcoming G20 summit to find "joint solutions" with the US on climate change and other issues.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel says European G-20 participants are united behind the Paris climate accord despite the American decision to pull out of the deal.
On Wednesday Ankara has officially requested permission for Erdogan to address Germany-based Turkish citizens during his visit, Gabriel told accompanying him journalists during his trip to Russian Federation.
A week before chancellor Angela Merkel welcomes G20 leaders to Hamburg, the German leader is gearing up for high-level showdown with U.S. president Donald Trump and Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
To avoid any misunderstandings, however, Mr Gabriel also stated Berlin's diplomatic and political concerns: "We hereby inform Turkey of our conviction that such an appearance in Germany is not possible, and there is constitutional precedent to that effect".
Tesla Said to Reach Pact With Shanghai for China Production
It helps investors in determining whether buying, selling or holding on to a stock would be beneficial for them. On Wednesday, January 25 Gracias Antonio J . sold $1.42M worth of Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) or 5,600 shares.
The German government said its new rule is a outcome of that dispute, though Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel insisted that it is not specific to Turkey.
Erdogan last visited Germany in May 2015, when he addressed supporters in Karlsruhe. It wasn't clear whether permission would be granted. The report could further strain already frayed ties between Germany and Turkey, which are at loggerheads over a wide range of issues.
Merkel told the German parliament Thursday that "protectionism can not be a solution" to the world's problems.
The two leaders also agreed to continue contacts in the near future.
Speaking to the Bundestag, the lower house of parliament, Ms. Merkel criticized the US for abandoning the Paris climate accord and warned of hard talks. Spokesman Steffen Seibert told reporters he had no information indicating that Erdoğan would not attend the G20 summit, and said Germany looked forward to his participation.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel says the European Union is "more determined than ever" to make the Paris accord against climate change a success following the US decision to withdraw from the agreement.
With her strident Bundestag rhetoric, coloured in part by September's looming federal election, the German leader signalled she is not interested in a lowest common denominator agreement.

US most important country for climate deal: UN chief1 min read . Updated: 12 Nov 2009, 02:49 PM IST
US most important country for climate deal: UN chief
US most important country for climate deal: UN chief
United Nations: Stressing that failed action on climate change could have catastrophic consequences, UN chief Ban Ki-moon has asked the US to take a leading role in ensuring a successful outcome of the Copenhagen conference next month.
"No country is more important than the US in resolving this climate change issue," Ban said, after meeting with Congressional leaders and Washington's top brass including US Senators John Kerry, Richard Lugar and Joe Lieberman.
"All eyes of the world are looking to the US and to this august body, the US Senate," he said, adding that the Copenhagen Climate Conference should yield "a robust, global agreement that can serve as a foundation for a climate treaty."
Around 192 countries that will meet in the Danish capital next month are expected to hammer out a climate treaty to succeed the Kyoto Protocol since the first commitment period under this treaty ends in 2012.
Ban underlined that battling climate change would involve economic costs to all nations in the short-term but delaying action would leave all of humanity suffering in the long-run.
"Inaction will mean a weakened economic recovery, a loss of global competitiveness, increased global instability and further human suffering," Ban said.
"A global agreement on the other hand will unleash investments that will do more than any single other action could do to jump-start and sustain global economic recovery," he noted.
While US President Barack Obama has termed climate change as a big challenge, the American position in Copenhagen depends largely on the treatment of the domestic Climate Change Bill, which is pending in the US Senate and is not expected to be passed before the conference in Denmark.
"From what I heard today, there is great support in the Senate for action on climate change," said Ban
"But for some, there are lingering doubts about whether we can afford to take action during this hard economic crisis."
The UN chief highlighted that Obama had shown initiative in addressing the climate problem, and the US President's signal of participating in Copenhagen sent the right message to build political momentum.
"Copenhagen offers us all an unprecedented opportunity. We must use our time before that historic gathering for maximum effort," he added.

Spring is in the air and, naturally, you want let the pleasant breeze cool your apartment. Before you even so much as crack those windows or open that patio door though, it's a good idea to do some spring cleaning and get rid of all the dust that's accumulated over the winter. Start from the top, then work your way down for the best results.
Clean lights with duct tape and dryer sheets.
Keeping your lightbulbs and fixtures clean brightens up your home by as much as 30 percent, according to the US Department of Energy. But how do you make quick work of a tedious task? First, turn off the power and make sure bulbs are cool. Then use a long-handled Swiffer to clean recessed light cans and bulbs. Remove light bulbs from other fixtures and wipe them down using a dryer sheet. If you're having a hard time removing a bulb so that you can wash the glass shade, place small strips of duct tape on the sides of the bulb to get a better grip.
Swirl a makeup brush to clean intricate details.
Whether your entertainment center has remote-friendly mesh panels to conceal your electronics or your china cabinet boasts hand-carved details, use a clean makeup brush to get inside all the little nooks and crannies. For guys that don't happen to have a makeup brush lying around, you can also use a paint brush with natural bristles.
Use sliders to move furniture and dust underneath.
It's easy to use the "it's too heavy" excuse to skip dusting under furniture. But anyone that's ever accidentally kicked a remote under the couch and retrieved it knows just how badly it needs to be cleaned under there. Use furniture sliders to move heavy furniture without damage to the flooring (or your vertebrae), then vacuum the area.
It takes more than a few feathers fastened to the end of a stick to thoroughly dust your home.

Ange-Freddy Plumain
Assist by Mesca
Ange-Freddy Plumain
Assist by Solomon Sambou
Conor McGrandles
Ange-Freddy Plumain provided a pair of lethal finishes to lead Fulham Under-21s to a hard-earned win over Norwich Under-21s.
A constant threat in the first-half, Plumain gave the Canaries an early scare before opening the scoring on 20 minutes with a composed finish.
The French forward doubled his tally on the half hour to give the Whites a well-deserved lead at half-time, and only a second-half reflex save from goalkeeper Remi Matthews denied him a hat-trick.
Conor McGrandles gave the visitors hope, scoring from close range on 79 minutes to set up a tense finish, but Peter Grant's youngsters hung on despite Emerson Hyndman's late red card to inflict Norwich's first Barclays U21 Premier League defeat in four months.
Following a cagey opening five minutes, Ryan Williams carved out the first opportunity of the match for Plumain, but the Frenchman's low 18-yard strike was stopped by the legs of Matthews.
The resulting corner was headed over the crossbar by Captain Jonathan Buatu, who was quickly involved at the other end, dispossessing McGrandles as Norwich penalty appeals were waved away by referee Simon Knapp.
The Whites were moving the ball across their midfield diamond well, with Plumain's diagonal runs from wide areas causing Norwich problems. Solomon Sambou almost threaded the 20-year-old through, and it was the same outlet which eventually provided the opener.
Mesca Na Bangna drifted infield this time and played a pass through the Canaries' centre-back pairing, with Plumain timing his burst to perfection and adding a calm finish with his right foot.
Norwich were posing problems in wide areas and, on 27 minutes, Noe Baba had to be alert to shut down the intentions of burly forward Carlton Morris, who had turned well in the left-hand channel.
Minutes later, the Whites doubled the score. Dean O'Halloran's intelligent twist and flick found Sambou on the edge of the area and, although he delayed his pass to Plumain, the forward pivoted to fire a daisy-cutter past Matthews into the corner of the net.
With Fulham in full flow as the clock ticked past the half hour, Ryheem Sheckleford showed lightning-quick pace to get to the byline but his cut-back was toed away as Na Bangna sought to pull the trigger.
The visitors put together their best passage of the game in the lead up to half-time but the Whites' back-line held firm, with Williams picking up a 42nd-minute yellow card. Cameron Norman and Reece Hall-Johnson had already gone into the referee's book for the Canaries.
The Whites were forced to soak up some pressure in the opening 10 minutes of the second half, with Norman shooting straight at Marek Rodak and Morris skewing a strike off target, before Plumain again sparked into life.
Breaking down the left, the Frenchman cut inside in search of his hat-trick but Matthews was equal to the 15-yard drive, parrying it wide. Plumain was first to the corner and saw his header held by the keeper on 56 minutes.
As Norwich pushed forward, their midfield became more open and Na Banga exploited the space on the break. His tame shot was comfortably saved, before Williams dragged an effort across goal.
Hyndman went into the referee's book and, after an energetic display, Williams was replaced for Lyle Della Verde on 69 minutes. After the Whites had survived a spell of pressure, a deflected pass allowed McGrandles through on goal and he slotted the ball past Rodak.
Rodak was relieved to see Michee Efete's stinging long-range strike fly a fraction wide, before Aaron Redford replaced the tiring Plumain on 82 minutes. Hyndman picked up a second yellow card in stoppage time on his return from a six-week absence from a broken collarbone, with Fulham under pressure in the closing stages.
Sam Kelly drilled an effort narrowly wide of Rodak's goal with time running out and a Norwich goal was ruled out after the ball had crossed the byline before it was centred, with the Whites holding on to secure three valuable points.

All about Sarees
Have you ever wished you can do something really girlish with your sarees other than going with the same traditional drape and blouse styles your mom or even your grandma wears?
Quite lately girls are doing just that. But still we're limited for designs termed "in-style" rather that what is really "you".
This blog Desi Fashion Police is a wonderful place with a vast collection of so many innovative things to do with sarees. It offers good guidance for ladies who'd like to try something new without looking like a total disaster.
Among the posts you find new blouse designs, various saree draping methods, guide to accessorising an outfit…. even posts on the mistakes we do!
Yes, the posts about our blunders made me write this post… I have so many people to guide me on how to do something but nobody ever warns me of possible pitfalls. So I'm most grateful to the Desi Fashion Police.

I heard Bowie coming from the auditorium, and actually thought, "That's weird, FRANCES HA had the same music."
Yep, I'm that sharp, sometimes.
And then someone else tried to buy a ticket for MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING, and the box office lady told her it wasn't playing yet. I texted my mistake to my friend, and when she arrived we decided to watch FRANCES HA. First time for her, second time for me.
Yikes. This story is way boring. Hang in there, it might get better soon. Better-ish.
After texting my friend, I tweeted my irritation with Portland.
At the time there was only one theater in town showing FRANCES HA, and the next weekend there would be only one theater showing MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING. Other cities, cities I've had flings with, were showing both movies that weekend. In multiple locations.
But at some point, for some damn reason, I chose to dance with the one that brung me, and I was (am?) committed to Portland.
It turns out, Portland knew best.
Although I had been delighted by FRANCES HA the first time I saw it, it wasn't until the second viewing that I saw it's totally a Screwball Comedy. Probably only if the definition of the genre is interpreted very generously (kind of like BRIDESMAIDS, HARVEY or FOR A GOOD TIME CALL), but Screwball nonetheless.
Because Portland made me cool my heels, I will soon be writing a post about how FRANCES HA is Screwball-y and I will be re-reading MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING before Friday.
So, thank you, Portland. Your slow pace has helped to make me thoroughly, nerdily undateable due to my film blog writin' and Shakespeare readin' ways.

Every morning when I wake up the first thing I do is check my Facebook and horoscope for the day on my Yahoo homepage. Usually I just skim through the horoscope not reall
y paying attention as to what it says. Sometimes it comes close to predict what is going on in my life, but never before has it been dead on. Today was the first. I mentioned in my post before this that I've been an emotional wreck for the
past couple of weeks, and have been struggling.... today I read my horoscope and this is what it said:
March 6, 2009
aquarius (1/20 - 2/18)
"Nothing is more important than getting a handle on your emotions. They've been going up and down and all over the place for a while now, which is fine -- but this unpredictability has got to end soon. This is a phase in your life where you should try to organize your feelings in order to better understand and work through them. Sort through negative feelings and toss out the jealousy or regret that just doesn't matter any more. You are moving on and you need to leave that junk behind."
Reading this gives me hope in knowing that I will be ok... and I will.

This is the 2nd project I've completed with my self-induced favecrafts.com 10 pin challenge. The winner will be me because I am the only one competing!
So here is the pinspiration if you want to know what I started with.
I made some modifications to the original pattern. Thusly, I am renaming them from "Grandma's knitted slippers" to "Hootie booties"! The size medium would have been large enough to fit my hubby's size 11.5 feet and they were too bunchy at the toe. That's with having the right gauge (I actually measured this time).
I had visions of
padding sashaying around the house in these while performing modern and worldly acts. They belonged to me for all of 2 hours. My youngest begat was upset with me because I attempted to dislodge a loose tooth from his mouth. As payment for my miserable failure, he purloined them from me. He put on two pairs of socks, slipped them on and proclaimed them his. Boo.
Let's make these booties!
Materials needed:
– 2 skeins of worsted weight yarn (the original pattern doesn't specify)
– size 10 long circular knitting needles as this project will use the magic loop method of knitting.
– Yarn needle
-4 buttons for the owl eyes
Gauge: 4 sts = 1 inch and 6 rows (3 garter stitch ridges) = 1 inch
Steps 1-4 is knitted flat. Steps 5 through 12 is knitted in the round and shapes the toe.
Make 2.
- Cast on 28. I have a size 8 foot and I like my booties snug. Cast on 6 less or 6 more if you want a small or large bootie respectively.
- Row 1 – K across
- Row 2 – K9, P1, K8 ,P1 ,K9. (Right side)
- Repeat rows 1 and 2 until you have 15 garter stitch ridges on the right side ending with row .
- Shape toe – Round 1 – K1, P1 until the end of the row and then join in the round.
- 6.Decrease ribbing in the round – Round 2 – K1, P1 ribbing until stitch 14, K2tog, P2tog, K1, P1 ribbing until the end of round. 26 stitches
- Rounds 3- 7 -Continue K1 P1 ribbing
- Decrease ribbing in the round – Round 8 – K1, P1 to stitch 10, K2tog, P2tog, K1, P1 ribbing to end of round. 24 stitches
- Round 9 – K1, P1 ribbing to end of round
- Decrease round – Round 10 – K1,P1 to stitch 8, K1, P2tog, K2tog, P1. K1, P1 to end of round. 22 stitches
- Decrease round – Round 11 – K1, P1 to stitch 8, K2tog, P2tog, K1, P1 to end of round. 20 stitches
- Round 12 – K1, P1 ribbing to the end of round. Leaving a long tail (at least 8 inches) cut off.
- Using the yarn needle draw tail through all loops, cinch tightly, tie in a knot and weave in ends.
- Using the long tail from cast on, sew wrong sides together until you reach the last third of the bootie. Gather these remaining stitches into a running stitch and cinch tightly. This will form the heel. Tie a knot and weave in ends.
They should look something like this:
Owl embellishments
I wish I could say that I came up with this clever and cute owl, however, that is not the case. Using two strands of the same yarn and the same size 10 needles, I used this pattern. Sew the buttons on for eyes and sew on to your booties.
Booties culminated!

In June, I was honoured to receive the accolade of being the parkrunner of the month at Cranleigh parkrun and that I was to become the proud owner of some shiny new shoes courtesy of Sweatshop.
I popped into the shop to pick up some new kicks and was instantly drawn to the Brooks offerings because that is generally what I have always worn. I never really looked at the Adidas options and having not been particularly enthused by the Asics' I had tried, I steered clear of those too. I tried on a pair of Nike Pegasus, but in the end I decided to go with something a little out of left field, for me at least, a pair of New Balance. I had never even put a pair on my feet so I decided I couldn't really pass up this opportunity.
Having put 300 miles into the shoes now, I feel I can offer up a pretty accurate portrayal of how I have found them. In a simple one word review: brilliant.
But now for a little more detail.
Here is what they say about the shoe:
Be relentless. Never stop pursuing in Fresh Foam Boracay. Designed to bring a smoother and more stable ride to your route, this shoe gets that there is always something to chase. With soft and consistent cushioning, it delivers plush comfort from mile 1 to whenever you decide to stop.
- 4mm drop
- 257g
- Neoprene stretch tongue
- no-sew material application
- Ortholite® Premium insole
But what do I think about it?
Slipping the Boracay on to the feet is a little like a luxurious foot-hug. The fit is a little more narrow than anything I have tried before, but I think that is more telling of the fact that I have been wearing trainers a little too wide for my slim feet. At no point have I felt my feet restricted in this manner, but the only drawback I have felt is that the overlay seemed to run right across the top of my big toe. This was never a problem when running and it has caused no issue regarding rubbing or blistering, but when putting the shoe on or simply standing around it is mildly distracting.
The biggest problem with putting the shoe on, and in fact one of my biggest gripes with the whole shoe is the neoprene stretch tongue that they seem to be lauding on the website. Whilst I am not offended by the choice of material or indeed its padding properties the problem with it exists in the fact that one cannot simply slip the shoe on; once the foot is in place you need to slip a finger down the inside to unfurl the tongue which has doubled back on itself and caused uncomfortable lumps and bumps across the top of the foot – every single time!
The selling point for this shoe (so much so they even put it in the title of the shoe) is the Fresh Foam midsole of the shoe. Rather than relying on plastic bits, funny shaping, or pockets of air, the midsole on the Boracay is one lump of 'Fresh Foam' from heel to toe with no obvious break for the arch or grooves for flexibility that you might normally see on a running shoe. The science behind this can be seen in the subtle differences in the hexagonal pattern along the lateral and medial sides of the shoe. In order to change the level of cushioning and responsiveness New Balance make these sections either concave or convex. At the rear of the shoe, for example, the outer edge is firm so that the foot does not roll outwards and this is controlled by the concave shaping of the foam. On the inside, to allow for a nice smooth ride, the opposite is true and a convex pattern allows for a little more squish. What this means in practical terms is a shoe which offers so much more fluidity in it's ride than that offered by a shoe with more prescriptive plastic bits included. For me, this has basically resulted in a shoe with near perfect levels of cushioning – it is comfortable on the long run (and I've had plenty of those in my marathon training schedule), but also responsive whilst doing 400m reps on the track.
Finally, the outsole is a full covering of blown rubber with a similar pattern of hexagonal lugs to those on the side of the midsole. The grip offered here has been absolutely satisfactory on the roads in both wet and dry, but I suspect it would not cope overly well in wet grass or any real muddy areas – though I haven't tried in either situation. With 300 miles on the clock I can see the wear and tear starting to take place as the sole thins along my strike pattern, and the very toe edge is basically through to the midsole – but aside from that there seems to be plenty of life left along the rest of it.
On the road
300 miles later, I have a few reservations about the shoe – largely down to durability. One lace cracked and frayed within a matter of runs; this is not a problem per se but not a great advert. On the same shoe the lining of the heel counter seemed to fail and collapse pretty swiftly; again, not a huge problem but hardly a glowing endorsement either.
The main feature of the shoe is the plush comfort on offer from the Fresh Foam, but as a mid-to-toe striker I am generally using the area of the shoe with the least cushioning. As a result I think I am probably approaching the end of its lifespan as my run this weekend seemed to be lacking some of the earlier cushiness.
It's not all doom and gloom though. The upper continues to hug my feet like a glove and I have not found a single hot-spot or point of discomfort from any run I have done between four miles and 21. In fact, there are few traces of evidence to suggest I have even run half as many miles; the shoes are in great condition still. Every one of these runs has been a pleasure, and I am so pleased to have discovered New Balance as a manufacturer of fine shoes.
Would I recommend it?
Absolutely!! This shoe is brilliant. The minor durability issues are as much down to bad luck on my part I suspect and actually do little to detract from the shoe. Whilst I might have hoped to get a few more miles under the belt in them, I reckon anyone who heel strikes will get at least 500 miles of service from them.
I award it a strong 8/10. If you're in the market for a new shoe, then try this one – I reckon you'll be happy!

I think I'm back.
I'd say there have been 3 major events since Christmas:
In January we hosted our first ever Hootenanny:
(and I started learning ukulele)
In March we took a trip to England to visit my Mom's side of the family, and celebrated my Nana Alice's 90th birthday.
And thirdly, we made the decision to move to Luxembourg.
Some quick back story on that one. In November and December, Pete traveled with his company to France to work on a project as a consultant. While there, he took his one weekend off to visit a friend from his MBA program who now lives and works in Luxembourg at Amazon.com. They casually discussed how it would be cool if he could get a job there too. And then, a couple months later, there was a job opening. And then a job offer. We took it.
So, I've been feeling strongly that I should pick this blogging thing back up again. We'll see what happens.

Scripture Luke 15:20-24
And he arose and came to his father. But while he was yet at a distance, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him. And the son said to him, `Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.' But the father said to his servants, `Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet; and bring the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry; for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.' And they began to make merry.
The prodigal son came home empty-handed.
He had no trophies to show his father, no achievements with which to earn his praise, his welcome and his love.
He was a failure, worse – he was a sinner.
He deserved to be punished and he knew it.
Yet punishment was the last thing he needed. To punish him would be like pouring water on a dying fire.
What happened?
When his father saw his lost son coming towards him, his heart went out to him, and the next minute they were in each others arms.
It is an extraordinary experience to be loved in one's sinfulness.
Such love is like a breeze to a dying fire, or rain to a parched ground.
Those who have experienced this kind of love know something about the heart of God.

The theme . . . Happy New Year!
Yummy breakfast treats and coffee!
Some dancing to Happy!
Inspirational speech by the Teacher of the Year and our superintendant.
Ended with a countdown and the dropping of the AH logo. Confetti, balloons and horns!
Great way to kick off the 2014 -2015 school year!
Back on campus, we did the usual first day back stuff. One of the activities was to take a stick figure and add characteristics about each person on the team to the one figure. It was meant to represent how we each have a different perspective, strength and expertise on a team . . . coming together as one to do what is best for students.
Then, on to the campus handbook.
I promise, I was paying attention, but I needed to Google something.
I always say, "Google, is my best friend." Boy, was I surprised when I went to Google and saw this cute graphic. Then, I hovered over it . . . Happy Birthday Charlotte! popped up!!!
I have to be honest. I kinda freaked out! How did Google know it was my birthday?!!!!
This next part I didn't do (probably cuz I was freaked out) . . . You can then click on the birthday logo to see your Google Profile, which will be decked out with virtual streamers, a cupcake and a "Happy Birthday" message from Google.
I knew we were friends!!!!!
With my position, I have been in and out of classrooms helping teachers get up and running with their tech stuff. I have been snapping pictures left and right! Can't wait to share some creative classroom themes, bulletin boards, and organizational ideas that I have seen.
TGIF . . . almost!

Our Specialty Products
Lifestyle supplies high-quality products from the industry-leading manufacturers.
During the past fifty years, Nueromuscular Electrical Stimulation (EMS) and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) modalities have been the subject of on-and-off academic study and clinical application. However, within the past decade, the medical community has intensified its efforts to identify NON-INVASIVE and opioid-sparing interventions that target and REDUCE chronic and acute pain. EMS and TENS have surged in popularity as a result.
Conductive Garments
Conductive Garments are an exciting newer invention. When used with an EMS or TENS unit, these comfortable garments precisely target the painful body area. Because of their ease of use and comfort, patients will enjoy wearing them at home or in a clinic. Adjustable garments are available for several bodily areas/parts . Lifestyle provides garments made of material that enhances conductivity and comfort. These garments are single-sized but fully adjustable. Custom fitting is also an option.
Lifestyle is a leader in the use of orthotics as an opioid-sparing pain-management modality. Lifestyle's knowledge and understanding of orthotics extends far beyond that of the typical DME supplier. Lifestyle closely follows the latest journal research and literature on orthotics. Additionally, Lifestyle remains in close contact with leading orthotic manufacturers regarding new and innovative orthotic offerings. Patients and providers agree that Lifestyle is a valued orthotic partner in the pain-management process.
Lymphedema Pumps
Diabetic shoes
Wound care
The lymphedema pump (officially called a "pneumatic compression device") is a treatment that removes excess lymphatic fluid from an affected limb or body part and returns the fluid to its home in the body's cardiovascular system. Physicians often use lymphedema pumps as a preferred approach toward sending the excess fluid back home where it belongs, rather than allowing the fluid to pool in the legs or arms. Lifestyle provides all appropriate, high-quality pumps and correspondin garments. Lifestyle takes pride in its devotion to patient education. Lifestyle shows the patient how to use the pump, checks-in with the patient afterward, and remains available for questions as they arise.
Lifestyle has a popular diabetic shoe fitting program. Lifestyle supplies only high-quality shoes in a variety of styles for women and men. Gone are the days when diabetic shoes were boring and heavy. Today's diabetic shoes are light and breathable. Lifestyle also supplies the appropriate diabetic inserts/insoles which are placed in the shoe to conform to the diabetic's feet and to reduce rubbing and chafing. All shoes are fitted to the patient's feet, so they feel as good as they look. Under federal law, diabetic Medicare patients are entitled to one pair of shoes, with diabetic inserts, per year. Lifestyle takes great pride in supplying comfortable Medicare-qualifying diabetic shoes and insoles.
Lifestyle supplies excellent wound care products, ranging from Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) devices to primary and secondary dressings. Lifestyle has substantial experience working with home health agencies. Lifestyle's expertise as a home health supplier enables us to anticipate the clinical needs of wound care nursing personnel. Without a doubt, wound care nurses have outstanding experience, skill, and judgment regarding the wound healing process. We like to call them "wound whispers" because they are have such advanced insight into wound healing. Lifestyle is proud to serve as a valued partner to fulfill the equipment and supply needs of home health nurses.
