Happy Friday, friends!
I'm feeling kind of off today because I've been having lots of dreams about smoking pot lately. And I had one last night. Which is kind of throwing me this morning. Probably mostly because I've never done that in real life. (One time in college, I said that I had. But that wasn't true. I was trying to be cool and also shut down an annoying person who was patronizing me… it's a long story. I apologized for lying.) Anyway, I'm really wondering what that's all about. Google is telling me all sorts of different things. Will continue to research.
Thanks to my bizarre dreams, restless sleep had me up extra early this morning. Which was a bit problematic due to the fact that I was up extra late last night packing for a little weekend jaunt to San Francisco this weekend with my mom and my sister and spending time with my other sister, Dionna. Friendship is a real gift. But friendships that are closer than just friendships are more than a gift. They're like a perfectly chilled glass of water. You just feel better after drinking it in. It's a health thing almost.
Special things that happened in the last 7 days:
My dear friend, Natalie, asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding. I'm honored. I didn't cry. But I wanted to. I tried to. It didn't happen. But my insides were crying. I said yes. Of course. OF COURSE! of course.
My dad and I made a bench. A through and through, life-giving, and perfect way to spend time. And it's so comfortable! Which no one believes. Because it's just wood. But I swear, it's bizarre how comfortable it is. Everyone who sits in it says so. I promise.
My friend Oli is a designer for Kate Spade. And she designed a hat. A hat which is so Oli. A hat which made it's debut at New York Fashion Week today. There were a lot of other things too. But I'm proud of the hat. It's making me so proud of her and her hard work and I'm super happy to be able to call her a good friend. So cool. So real. So proud.
I purchased a pink fuzzy sweater that just arrived in the mail.
FINALLY ate at Sqirl. Got to see that Lauren Gillan that I love so much.
I went to Pressed Juicery three very separate times in a row this week. Is summer here? It feels like it. (Size 1, Vanilla with Pink Himalayan Salt for all you secret admirers out there trying to score some JP points).
In other news:
Unrelated to Valentine's Day, singleness is something I've been thinking a lot about lately. To give a little bit of context and to call it like it is (this blog is a safe space, right? we're all friend here) I'm 24 and I've never been in a relationship. And it's something I'm insecure about. And though it has bothered me more on a "what's wrong with me?" level before, at this point, it's just kind of like a little gnat that gets in the way of things that are right in front of me.
Dionna and I talked about it a lot last night in a really honest, encouraging, transparent way. We talked about how I feel like I have major walls up around guys for some reason (or actually, for really specific reasons that I have a pretty good idea about, if I'm being honest). We also talked about how there are so many different ways of being confident in yourself. And even though you have some mastered, there are still a bucket of ways that are terrifying and really hard to tackle. We talked about how guys are still a super crazy confusing mystery to me that I'm intimidated by. And we also talked about how people meet people in the most random of ways and that in the meantime, it's best to… for lack of a better term, 'do you.' I really like my life right now. And yeah, there's still a lot to figure out, but I'm feeling pretty on it. And happy. And, as I've mentioned on here before, I'm really working on enjoying and being grateful for this time. For me, right now, that looks like lots of reading, lots of learning, creative experimentation, treating my body better, treating myself better. Because, if I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times: You have be your own #1 shorty before you can be someone else's #1 shorty.
Still sorting this one. Is this interesting to read?
Meanwhile, I don't have lots of links today, but I do have a playlist that you can look at as either devoted to Valentine's Day or having nothing to do with it. Thanks for reading this, if you are. You mean a lot to me.

text: Well...the south wall in all its CMU glory is going up. The mason on the job is our builders father, Page Repp Sr. His work is pretty great and we couldn't be happier. We chose the stack bond as opposed to the standard running bond mostly for looks. It required a little more engineering and extra reinforcement, but we think it will be worth it. The wall will be left exposed on the inside and outside...so the pattern is important. The other walls are all SIP's or Structural Insulated Panels, which is a fancy way of saying plywood and foam sandwich. The south wall is CMU since in the grand scheme of things we see this wall as eventually being a "green" wall with a trellis system going up allowing the whole facade to get all covered in growy things.

Raj woke up and didn't find her beside on the bed. The clanking of utensils from the kitchen signaled that she had woken up early today. He got up, took a big yawn and moved towards the bathroom to clean his teeth.
Richa was preparing a cake in the kitchen. She remembers every date that brought a change in their life. She loves celebrating each one of them. He however has to be reminded of them. He can't even recall the occasion by mentioning the date.
But birthdays are always special. Why to ruin it if he doesn't remember it. A cake and the surprise would bring excitement to his face. We will go to a movie in the evening and dine at their favourite restaurant. No, we will do candle light dinner today. Richa had been thinking while applying icing to the perfectly baked cake.
It had been four years of their marriage. Not for a single time he remembered to wish her. She has now got accustomed to it. Birthdays are not so special for Raj. He wouldn't celebrate even his birthday if Richa wouldn't force him to. She forgives him now but celebration should not be affected.
"Good morning." Richa came out of the kitchen.
Raj replied back with his face still inside the newspaper.
"Do you remember what it is today?"
Richa was very eager to find the same surprise look on his face. She would then let him make some wild guess until she lose patience and tell him.
"Oh yeah, I do. I have to fill this date in some documents every other month."
Raj's face had a smile. He was confused and a little happy. The same look had started coming to Richa's face while her happiness was decreasing.
"It's my birthday." Raj exclaimed.
Richa brought out the cake hidden behind her and bumped it on the dining table. The cherry on the top tumbled down the floor.
Raj on seeing the cake, excitedly leaped towards it.
"You forget my birthday every year but remember yours. How selfish." Richa slapped Raj, went inside the room and locked it.
Raj stood there perplexed holding the knife in his hand whether to cut the cake or not.

Lieberman-Warner Plan Unveiled 21
Sens. Lieberman and Warner have unveiled the skeleton of their cap-and-trade legislation, America's Climate Security Act.
"The bill will specify an annual aggregate tonnage cap, expressed in terms of Co2 equivalence, for each year from 2012 through 2050. The cap that the bill will specify for 2012 will be the 2005 emissions level." And: 10% below 2005 by 2020, 30% by 2030, 50% by 2030, 70% by 2050.
- Each year 20% of that year's National Emission Allowance Account for free to covered entities within the industry sector.
- In 2012 20% of the NEAA will be allocated to the electric power sector. A portion of that 20% will be free to new entrants to the electric power sector. The allocation will be at 20% from 2012 – 2017, then transition to 0% by 2035.
- 10% will be allocated to load-serving entities to defray energy-cost impacts on low- and middle-income consumers and to promote demand-side energy efficency, some of it for free to rural electric cooperative facilities.
- 8% will be allocated to covered entities who have taken pre-enactment action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. That 8% will transition to 0% by 2020.
- Each year 4% will be allocated to state governments, half based on population, half on historical state emissions.
- Each year 4% will be allocated to US coal mines.
- Each year 7.5% will be allocated to farmers, foresters, and other landowners to store carbon in soils, crops, and forests.
- Each year 2.5% will be allocated to the transportation sector.
Allowances for Auction
- 24% in 2012 will go to auction under the aegis of the Climate Change Credit Corporation; rising to 52% by 2035.
Auction Proceeds
- 20% for a public-private partnership for power-sector technologies including CCS
- 20% for public-private partnership for CCS
- 20% for transportation sector technologies and reducing miles traveled
- 10% for environmental mitigation
- 10% for SO2, NOx, mercury emission reduction from coal plants
- 10% to state and local for low-income community mitigation
- 10% for international mitigation
CCS regulations and a legal framework for the Federal assumption of liability for geological storage will be proposed by a study group within two years of enactment.
Carbon Market Efficiency Board, Banking
- Up to 15% of the allowances a covered entity must submit may be comprised of borrowed allowances, with an interest rate set by the Board.
- Up to 15% of the allowances that a covered entity must submit may be comprised of offset credits.
- Up to 15% of the allowances that a covered entity must submit may be comprised of allowances purchased on a certified foreign greenhouse gas emissions trading market.
- the Board may increase the number of emissions credits if the average daily closing price of an emissions credit exceeds the upper end of the range predicted by the CBO prior to the start of the program.
- The Board may adjust the terms and interest rates of the emissions loans "as needed to avoid significant harm to the economy" and "in the event of more extreme economic circumstances" to raise the cap temporarily provided that subsequent year's caps are tightened so that cumulative reductions are unchanged.
"The bill will set forth detailed, rigorous requirements for offsets, with the purpose of ensuring that they will represent real, additional, verifiable, and permanent emissions reductions."
Foreign Tariffs
The President will be authorized to require that importers of GHG-intensive products submit emissions allowances of a value equivalent to that of the allowances that the US system effectively requires of domestic manufacturers, if it is determined that nation has not taken commensurate action to reduce GHG emissions.
Lieberman-Warner Draft Bill Press Conference
At 10:30 am on Thursday, August 2, in the hearing room of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee (Dirksen 406), Senators Joe Lieberman (ID-CT) and John Warner (R-VA), the Chairman and Ranking Republican, respectively, of the Senate Subcommittee on Private Sector and Consumer Solutions to Global Warming and Wildlife Protection, will unveil the particulars of the agreement that they have reached on economy-wide climate legislation. This agreement synthesizes ideas contained in other climate change proposals while also incorporating new thinking. It will form the basis of a bill that the two Senators will introduce when the Senate reconvenes in September.
Lieberman and Warner to unveil cap and trade plan tomorrow
The press conference has been announced for 10:30 AM tomorrow.
Carbon Market Efficiency Board
Last week, Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) presented the Containing and Managing Climate Change Costs Efficiently Act (S. 1874), a piece of legislation authored by Joe Lieberman's former environmental advisor, Timothy Profeta, who now heads the Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions at Duke University.
The proposal would establish the Carbon Market Efficiency Board which would oversee the emissions trading market established by cap-and-trade legislation. The board would operate much like the Federal Reserve Board, providing information on price and low-emission technology investment trends to Congress and the public, and it would adjust the price of emissions permits when a "market correction" is needed. The first measure is to expand companies' ability to "bank" permits, or borrow permits against future year reductions. The second measure, to be used if high prices are not relieved by the first measure, is to add a slightly larger number of permits to the market. This temporary increase would be compensated for by reducing available permits in a later year, when more options have been developed.
Profeta testified about the proposal in last week's hearing. His white paper goes into further detail.
The bill is intended to be folded into the Lieberman-Warner package to be presented as a discussion draft at the end of the week.
John Warner (R-Va.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), and Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.) are cosponsoring the bill, in a bipartisan show of strength by pro-business Senators. [The League of Conservation Voters/Chamber of Commerce scores for the senators are: Warner 14%/100%, Graham 29%/92%, Landrieu 43%/75%, Lincoln 43%/67%. By way of comparison, Lieberman is 71%/44%.]
- Sheril R. Kirshenbaum's praise at the Intersection science blog
- Matt Stoller's criticism at Open Left
- Joseph Romm's praise at Grist, with excerpts from the Greenwire piece that has favorable quotes from the NRDC
- David Roberts's positive summary at Grist
Economic and international issues, focusing on global warming policy 1
From CQ Green Sheets: Senate Environment Presses Ahead on Federal, State Climate Action
Summary: Lieberman & Warner are working on carbon cap-and-trade legislation. Their staff is working hard right now to get the legislation written before the August recess, but they might not make that target. The witnesses at this hearing give a hint as to what the legislation will look like.
- Timothy Profeta, Director, Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions, Duke University, former Lieberman staffer and the principal author of the 2003 Lieberman-McCain cap-and-trade legislation
- Blythe S. Masters, Managing Director, JP Morgan Securities, Inc., supporter of carbon trading
- Robert Baugh, Executive Director, Industrial Union Council, AFL-CIO, supports Bingman-like (S 1766) elements like "safety valve" emission cost caps and money for carbon sequestration
- Garth Edward, Trading Manager, Shell International Trading and Shipping Company, supporter of carbon trading
- Margo Thorning Ph.D., Senior Vice President and Chief Economist, American Council for Capital Formation, believes cap-and-trade evil and the European experience a failure
2:33 PM Lieberman Our staffs have been reaching out to all stakeholders. Two questions people ask are 1) what do we do if there's an economic emergency? 2) This is a global problem. Yes, let's say that America is going to take a leadership role, but unless China and India also do so, our hard work will have little overall effect. So how do we deal with that?
This morning Warner introduced an emergency off-ramp provision they hope to be included in any cap-and-trade legislation. I think it has the flexibility to deal with a genuine economic crisis.
Earlier this month Bingaman and Specter introduced a bill with interesting and thoughtful provisions. The most interesting addresses the second question.
There was a report published by the EPA today, an economic analysis of the Lieberman-McCain bill. I congratulate the EPA on a first-rate piece of work.
2:41 PM Warner This is an extraordinary challenge.
2:43 PM Lieberman There's no chance of victory unless you lay a beachhead.
2:43 PM Boxer I am so pleased at the leadership you're both showing. You're on a great mission. I want to thank the private sector for being so far out ahead of us on many ways. We're going to go to Greenland if we don't have to be here this weekend. I hope that type of a trip is going to put more wind behind our sails. I understand Sen. Warner is working on an innovative program for borrowing emissions permits. Stern indicated the cost of failing to act greatly outweighs the cost of action. We hope you will look at Sanders-Boxer. Certainly the borrowing of emissions permits. We can allow facilities to bank their emissions. In terms of international emissions we need to make sure other countries do their part.
All in all I couldn't be more pleased with the progress we're making. I stand ready to work with everyone as the chair.
2:49 Inhofe This is our 16th hearing on global warming. I'm pleased that you're having this hearing. This is the first in which we're dealing with substantive issues. It seems clear to me that cap-and-trade doesn't work, that Kyoto is a beacon of what not to do. I just don't think it has been working. The body has now passed two resolutions on global warming: Byrd-Hagel said we would not want to ratify any treaty that would inflict serious economic damage on our country. Not one of the bills will avoid this; maybe the one you're working on. According to the MIT study, the Sanders-Boxer bill would cost hundreds of dollars for a family of four, similarly with the Lieberman-McCain bill. Half a trillion dollars by 2030, using lowball assumptions. It does nothing to encourage reductions from the number one emitter, China. Even the Bingaman bill would export millions of jobs, mostly to China. It's bad enough we have job flight to China, now we'd be exporting jobs and emitting more over there.
I've said if we're going to do this, let's be honest about it and have a carbon tax. I don't want a tax, but given the choice I would take the more honest approach.
Even if there is a man-made problem, shouldn't any approach do something about China?
2:56 Sanders It is also important to understand what happens if we do not go forward aggressively. The WHO tells us today already 1 million people have died. The CIA are now examining the implications of drought and hunger. I am optimistic we do know how to address this crisis. I think we can create millions of high-paying jobs. If we move forward in terms of energy efficiency we can reduce house energy costs by 40%. Right now in terms of job creation. More often than not we are importing our photovoltaics even though we developed the technology.
I cannot support a safety valve. It is a white flag.
3:00 Craig If this is a beachhead, I am here to stop the landmines.
3:01 Warner The chairman and I have decided to forge this partnership. We're going to put out a study document instead of a bill before we leave for August, so that we may receive the benefit of your comments.'
Lieberman Yes, essentially a draft proposal, give people a chance to say what they like and do not like. And then we'll offer a bill to the subcommittee as quickly as possible in September.
Boxer Thank you for your timetable. Assuming we do make this timeframe, our plan would be to look at all of the economy-wide proposals when we get back and look to you as the base of documents, I'm trusting to get the best of the ideas from the previous proposals.
3:04 Lieberman This is a global problem and we want to come up with a national response.
3:06 Profeta The issues you seek to address today are the ones the Senate set as sticking points: cost containment and international competitiveness.
The problem of global warming is intertwined with every action in our life. Fortunately several members in the committee have committed to action. Cap-and-trade system is the best cost containment. Any proposal should maintain the environmental integrity of the program. It should maximize the use of market-based mechanisms, and be long term. Our proposal involves a board with the power to modify emissions allowances to adjust the economic impact. This proposal does not claim to know the unknowable, what the price of carbon will need to be. This plan cleanly addresses the uncertainty.
We still need to ensure comparable action by trading partners. We talked with major corporations and trade disparity came screaming out at us. Our efforts focused on article 20 of the GATT. In general, first the US engages in a good faith effort, applied evenhandedly to domestic and foreign products. Our assessment of the Bingaman-Specter language is that it is consistent with our effort.
3:16 Masters We established a group to help our clients reduce carbon emissions. J.P. Morgan is an international company. We recognize global warming represents grave risks to the international economy. Congress is studying whether to start a cap-and-trade framework. J.P. Morgan supports such a framework. GHG emissions ("carbon") must have a price. There are precedents for this. It's my understanding, Sen. Warner, you played a major role in the acid rain cap-and-trade system, which worked and below cost.
The US is understandably tooking to contain compliance costs. Having said that, there are multiple approaches to cost containment. Prices will tend to be lower the more supply there is. The easiest way to expand emissions supply is to increase carbon offsets. I don't have a precise recommendation but there is an ideal balance. One of the mistakes of the Kyoto Protocol is to prohibit the preservation of tropical forests.
Price controls will prevent Europe and other carbon markets from linking to the US cap-and-trade system. Neither the acid rain nor the European system use price controls. Despite not having price controls in place, neither producers nor consumers in the European system have suffered.
3:28 Baugh On behalf of the 10 million members of the AFL-CIO I thank you. Climate change is a major problem. Our energy task force has been informed by science and economic reality. We endorsed Bingaman-Specter. One: it made a significant statement about the environment. It has a timetable that balances environment with economy. It ensures a modest effect on prices. One of its most important aspects is its commitment to technology investment. The point of the allowances is to ensure a positive change.
3:42 Edward Shell was the first business to transact in these systems. Shell believes a cap-and-trade system is ideally suited for energy production. It is not ideally suited for transportation. I'll talk about what cap-and-trade allows us to do.
An emissions market drives the most efficient way to reduce emissions. It does function as a cost containment mechanism by itself. The wider the pool of reduction opportunities, the less exposed the overall market is to short term impacts. Other ways to constrain costs are through offsets. Shell believes carbon sequestration will be a major future offset. Clearly there must be robust rules. Regulators, investors, and the public have a vested interest that these rules are rock-solid. The US will help its industry by making sure its system interlocks with international credit markets.
The EU has not allowed unlimited access to international credits, but the access has reduced volatility and costs. Shell believes allowances should be granted free at the beginning of any program. Auctions require upfront costs from the companies that need to spend on changes. Shell does not support price caps because they sacrifice the environmental goal at the heart of the program. A price cap compromises the emissions cap. In effect, you can have a guaranteed emissions level or a guaranteed price level, but not both. A price cap makes cap-and-trade like a tax. With the price cap, the incentive to invest in new technology is also capped.
3:51 PM Thorning Listening to the testimony of the earlier witnesses we must focus on the most cost-effective ways to achieve the goals. I'd like raise three issues: 1) energy security of supply, 2) environmental protection 3) reduction of global energy poverty. She's giving the same testimony she did two weeks ago.
4:09 PM Lieberman Based on the international experience, how has the EU dealt with the problem? Are there "emergency off ramps", "safety valves"?
Edward There is no safety valve per se. There is access to international markets. There is access to more supply, rather than an interventionist price cap.
Masters There was a trial run to be used for adjustments. What was terrific is that we can learn from that experience here. There was an instance of a significant price adjustment in 2006.
4:13 Warner I was a lawyer once. As we move forward what do we do to make sure these markets are not fraudulent?
Masters In arguing against a "safety valve" we are not arguing these markets should not be regulated. There is significant risk of cheating. The best way to achieve an orderly market is to ensure there are oversight mechanisms, in particular a body that establishes standards that can be independently verified. There are two markets today: compliance markets and voluntary markets. There have been some instances of fraud in voluntary carbon markets that don't have the same standards the compliance markets do. It's important that there is regulation, transparency, standards, and standards that are uniformly supplied.
Warner We're looking at our federal reserve system as a model. By the way I'm guilty of the "off ramp". Our state has a lot of mountains.
Edward These markets are not significantly different from other markets. We understand registry systems, validation of emissions, tax treatment. Basically, emissions markets will be audited the same way as financial markets.
Warner The status of CCS. Can we expedite it to build a bridge to get to another level of technology?
Profeta It's one of the elements of a longer term strategy. The EU analysis is that there is no way that the US, with its supplies of coal, can manage the transition without CCS. A price cap would not get us to invest enough into this sector.
4:30 Profeta Its desire is to stimulate engagement with these countries, where we have liquidity across the markets.
4:31 Inhofe I walked in at a time I have not heard discussed before. You cannot tell people who are struggling to have enough to eat to reduce their emissions. China is the beneficiary of efforts we have here. I'm surprised at the AFL-CIO's position here. You've endorsed the Bingaman bill that unilaterally caps our emissions here.
Baugh We agree China is not going to listen to us unless they have a reason to listen to us.
Cap-and-trade hearing prelude to Senate legislation
Tomorrow's global warming hearing, led by Joe Lieberman, will be a prelude to the cap-and-trade legislation now being written by his and John Warner's staffers. This bill will be the default Senate cap-and-trade bill unless matters dramatically change. See CQ Green Sheets for more.

During the past few years, record numbers of Americans have refinanced their home
mortgages as a result of historically low interest rates. This calculator is designed
to help you determine whether you should consider refinancing your mortgage.
The results below show the estimated cost of refinancing, your current and refinanced
mortgage payment amount, the monthly savings, and the amount of time it will take
you to recoup the costs of refinancing. If you plan to sell your home before you
recoup the cost of refinancing, it may not be worthwhile. However, if you plan to
stay in your home beyond that time, refinancing could possibly save you a substantial
amount of money.
The calculation above assumes the refinance costs are not added to the new loan.
This hypothetical example assumes your mortgage is subject to refinancing.
The graph below illustrates the difference between your current mortgage and the
mortgage you are considering. You can see what the balance and payoff time would
be for each mortgage. Although your monthly payments and overall expenses may be
reduced if you refinance, the term of your payments may be longer. For example,
if you have been paying on your current 30-year mortgage for five years and you
refinance a new 30-year mortgage, you will be making payments for an additional
five years.
This hypothetical example is used for illustrative purposes only. Actual results will vary.

EJ's Story
By Victor Wang, Co-founder and father of EJ, a child with autism
I cofounded Bergen Pediatric Therapy Center in order to provide children exceptional therapy services. I wanted to provide the benefit of having a collaboration of various therapists in one central location due to my own personal experience with my son EJ. EJ was diagnosed with Autism at 19 months of age. Similar to most parents, my wife and I were initially in denial. I remember coming home that day and searching all the websites on Autism, almost trying to talk ourselves out of the diagnosis. We explored all of the "early signs of autism" available hoping that there was a chance the diagnosis was incorrect.
After the initial denial phase, and after observing EJ's behavior more closely, we finally accepted the fact that the diagnosis was correct and we had to help EJ. Unfortunately, there wasn't a clear road map available to help us. It was difficult to find instructions on what to do or even tell us where to go for help and guidance. We had to do a lot of research on our own in order to find any available resources. In a short period of time, and after many phone calls to the head of Early Intervention (EI) in my area, we got into the program and started receiving services from Early Intervention. In addition to the services that we were receiving from EI, we also supplemented with private and alternative therapies. EJ's life went from playing all day to working all day, seven days a week. Demands were now placed on him and each day was a new adventure for all of us.
EJ's therapies included ABA (applied behavioral analysis), occupational therapy, sensory gym, physical therapy and speech therapy. We also explored and experimented with various metabolic diets and supplements that did not appear to meet his needs. Finally, the key to EJ's progress came when a good friend of mine, an occupational therapist, recommended the Tomatis Listening Program for him when he was 3. She had observed another child who went through Tomatis and saw drastic results. Going through Tomatis helped answer our prayers and we will be eternally grateful to our friend.
By the time EJ was 4 years old, he was progressing wonderfully because of the intensive listening therapy(Tomatis) and the Multi-Disciplinary approach we provided for him. EJ spoke in short sentences, became potty-trained, always answered to his name, played appropriately, searched for other children to play with and was very social. During this summer we enrolled EJ into a mainstream preschool program without an aid or shadow. He did wonderfully.
Because of EJ's success and all the struggles we went through, trials and errors that we made, and different emotions that we went through as a family, I co-founded Bergen Pediatric Therapy Center in order to share EJ's story and be a resource to parents who may be going through similar challenges. I want to be able to let people know about intensive listening therapy(Tomatis) and how effective it is and how the Multi-Disciplinary approach really works.
Updates on EJ's progress:
2010 EJ is now over 7 years old and he has surpassed our expectation. We are blessed with his sense of humor and his wonderful personality. He is attending 1st grade in mainstream school. He is continuing having wonderful experiences.
2012 EJ is now over 9 years old and he is attending 3rd grade. Even though there are lots of areas that still need improvement, he is still making unbelievable progress. He has come into his own socially, academically, and emotionally. His upper extremity strength, coordination and fine motor skills are always improving. He is more aware of reality and the happenings around him. He is a very funny and entertaining kid.
2018 EJ is graduating 8th grade in a couple of month. We had taken away all his modifications for test taking. He is a solid A/B student. He is doing really well and will be ready for high school. He is playing on a local tennis team. He also got his first after school job working with kids. We could not be more proud.

ECI Launches Classified Display Solution
Page 1 of 1
San Francisco-based Electric Classifieds Inc. rolled out an online classified display ad solution.
ECI said the new product line will enable Web publishers to expand their online classifieds efforts by placing multiple listing ads or ads with both text and graphics online in a searchable format.
Display ads have traditionally been left out of online classifieds due to the complexity of extracting the data from their graphical layout and separating each listing into a searchable format.
ECI said its Display Ad solution not only provides each listing as a searchable item to match a buyer's search criteria precisely, but also provides access to the display ad in its original form as an attachment to the individual ad. This enables the buyer to view the display ad in its entirety and maintains the advertiser's original presentation and branding.
ECI is exhibiting its new display ad product at the Interactive Newspapers '98 show in Seattle.

This week we are looking at one of the three incidents in scripture when Christ raised a person from the dead with the raising of the daughter of Jairus. You can read the passage online here and listen to the sermon here. Mark 5.21-43
This miracle is closely linked to another that occurs whilst the Lord Jesus is on his way to Jairus' house. There is a fascinating study in the contrast between the two miracles
|The Woman
|Had the joy of his daughter for twelve years
|Had been sick for twelve years
|Approached Jesus in a very public way
|Approached from behind and just touched the edge of his garment
|An important man in the community
|Not even named
|A ruler in the synagogue, the centre of worship in the community
|Ceremonially unclean because of her illness and excluded
|Probably wealthy
|Spent all that she had on doctors
The incident takes place in Capernaum and some of the remains of the synagogue still exist today though most is hidden by a much later yet still very old synagogue. You can find out more here
Four points this week
- Kneel down
- Hold on
- See his power
- Follow him
Kneel down
- Jairus was an establishment figure
- A synagogue ruler was responsible for the building and the worship
- There had already been conflict between Jesus and the religious teachers
- Jesus had shown his authority in the synagogue
- For Jairus, publicly kneeling before Jesus was costly
- Jesus was the only hope
- Pride is often a barrier
- What would it take to bring you to Jesus?
Hold on
- These two miracles are closely intertwined
- He seems to have thought that Jesus had to be present
- What was Jairus thinking whilst Jesus spoke to the woman
- Sometimes we can see God at work elsewhere
- While he waits he hears the news that he has been dreading
- "Don't be afraid; just believe."
- Fear and faith are incompatible
- Hold on when you are waiting
- Hold on through bad news
- Hold on through the sound of mourning
- Hold on to the word of God
See his power
- They knew she was dead, they laughed at him
- The professional mourners were put out
- Jesus can deal with any uncleanness
- "God who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were" – Romans 4:17
- Power over death whether someone has just died, been dead a few hours or for four days
- Jesus cares for the young girl, he protects her privacy and makes sure that she is fed
Follow him
- Peter, James and John were there
- They witnessed the transfiguration
- They were close in the garden
- They were changed
- James was the first apostle to be martyred – Acts 12:2
- Peter was probably crucified in Rome
- "So I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have. I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of this body, because I know that I will soon put it aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me. And I will make every effort to see that after my departure you will always be able to remember these things. We did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty." – 2 Peter 1:12-16
- John died in exile – Revelation 1:9-18
- Are we changed by the miracles we have seen?

Before he grew bored with me, abandoned me to the street, my sire often enjoyed
imparting useful lore. He warned me, in grave detail, of sunlight, wooden stakes,
decapitation and fire. He bragged, repeatedly and with dramatic demonstration,
of the wonders of strength, teleportation, imperviousness to weather, immortality.
He took me around, taught me to kill so delicately, surreptitiously,
cleaning up my crime meticulously – always considerate of a society that
did not want or need to know that other worlds than what they agree to
go on with theirs, on these common streets and wilderness.
I have no reason to doubt my education. I continue it, learning
from experience in how to get on.
In a world where so many brazenly demand attention,
I am aware to refrain from encouraging observation.
I have nothing not to hide.
These myths about crosses, holy water, Christian artifacts, are in some sense amusing.
Such short-sighted arrogance these Christians expose.
Our kind greatly predate The Christ.
I have been told that some still walk who worshipped at the feet of our dark Lord's bride.
Persephone, when she toured this world would take succor from such acolytes
in Her secret night rites.
Children of e God of Death and Transformation, we are born in intimate blood ritual.
We are damned with immortality to experience Hades on Earth.
I know the world of whores, tired and dreary, though far from my dreadful habitation.
Prowling men, hunters of prey for a different hunger, a fantasy of the loins
that consumes some like a kind of desperation, or so they seem.
They mistake me for prey.
Something in my stature, façade of innocence, aloneness, attracts.
There are warm, dark, furtive rooms in the offing, cash, an easy mark in privacy.
We are safely locked inside his hideaway.
So simple to jump and take hold, my legs around his waist, my arms holding him close,
to give a little love bite of anticipation. Small, sharp, needlelike, I penetrate.
He falls into a swoon, into unknowing sleep.
Perhaps we are both satisfied, for now.
But before sunrise I must attend to disposal.
Burning would evidence too much stench, as would leaving the remains to rot.
He has a strong, sharp knife for defense on a leg-sheathe.
Obviously, he had believed no need to be readily armed against me, fooled by
my slight form, unaware of supernatural strength.
That strength, his knife, operating in his bathroom tub to contain bloodless gore.
I wrap the hunks in random paper, rags torn from his clothing.
Before I can rest, relax in this subterfuge won temporary sanctuary, I dispose of the trash.
I find an appropriate travel bag among his belongings.
I find his key and cash.
Fed and flush, I go out to the emptiness of darkest before dawn to distribute free meals.
I scatter fresh flesh bounty in places I have found favored by nature's scavengers while
hidden to the human eye.
Back to claim my prize, inside before sunlight, I feel a kind of freedom. The kind that
haunted creatures feel alone with our ghosts.
I don't sleep; but I curl beneath the bedclothes and indulge my dreams.

Stick Star Outdoor Christmas Ornaments | #25DaysofOrnaments | Christmas Project 2017
We made these Stick Star Outdoor Christmas Ornaments for a tree dressing event we were going to have at our local park today. The ornaments are rather simple and therefore I was planning not to write much about them. I reckoned I would wrap this post up in about hundred words or so.
However, something extremely swell happened at the tree dressing and I must share it with you. It wasn't exactly one thing, it was more like a bit here and a bit there and together it all made my heart hum for the rest of the evening.
The weather was cold and as gloomy as London weather could be. As we reached there, we realised that contrary to what we guessed, it wasn't a Christmas tree dressing but rather a cherry tree dressing.
I soon realised that this tree was perfect for this event. The cherry tree, at this time of the year, was all bare except for few flowers blooming at the edges of the branches. It was wider than it was tall and the lower branches were well within reach. The bark was split in two and hence it was easy to climb up the tree.
The park association had organized for ornaments; however, people brought their own ornaments. There were store-bought ornaments and handmade as well. A person brought a guitar and strummed a suitable tune.
Within minutes of starting, there were kids running and climbing all around the cherry tree to hang their ornament as high as they can.
It was quite a happy sight in the cold gloomy day. Take that winter!
And these are the ornaments that we hanged –
And this is how we made them –
Stick Star Outdoor Christmas Ornaments
You Will Need
Twigs (preferably of same thickness)
Hot Glue
How to Go About It
These Stick Star Christmas Ornaments are perfect for hanging outdoors because they can withstand weather. I especially loved them because they give a nice touch of colour to the gloomy outdoors we have here on most days.
Try this craft at home and share your creations in the comments down below. If there is an ornament that you want me to try making, let me know that as well.

District Emma
Gun toting, psychedelically inclined rock band. part-time sex symbols, full-time reprobates
"With tracks packed with this much energy, don't expect district emma to be hanging out in London's underground too much longer."
"London's best kept secret? Well they can't be now the cat's out of the bag, but of all the groups who've made that claim recently, district emma have as strong a stake as any."

CeraVe is a fast-selling skincare brand in the US that's now available to buy here – and it's well worth trying. The no-frills brand takes skin protection seriously, but for a fraction of the price of many dermatologist-led brands.
It works primarily to strengthen and boost the skin's natural barrier system, locking in moisture and hydration and keeping out the bad stuff, such as pollution, which causes ageing.
There's a whole range of products from hand care to cleansers, and all are under £15 (Boots). We get the feeling with this brand that we're paying just for the lotions and potions and the expertise involved in creating them, rather than for any fancy packaging or huge marketing schemes. Our favourites from the range are Foaming Facial Cleanser, £9, Moisturising Lotion, £9, and Eye Repair Cream, £11.

Interview with Visual Artist "Shantell Martin"
New York
Visual Artist
October 2017
Below the surface of Shantell Martin's characteristic black and white compositions is an artists' inquiry into the role of artist and viewer. In Martin's world, a work of art is inseparable from its creator and its audience, and art is more than an object of admiration disconnected from the process of its inception. Rather, she sees her work as a vehicle to forge new connections between education, design, philosophy and technology — the glue in an increasingly interdisciplinary world. Her methodical practice of bringing the audience and surroundings into her drawings is a reflection on ever changing time
and space. Martin's work with institutions such as the MIT Media Lab, Autodesk and New York University's Tisch School of the Arts denote her ongoing inquiry into new models and technologies that are transforming the way art is made and consumed. Eschewing traditional art world norms, Martin's work purposefully bridges fine art, performance art, technology and commercial work. Her artwork has appeared in the Brooklyn Museum, Museum of the Contemporary African Diaspora, Bata Show Museum and at the prestigious Albright Knox Gallery in Buffalo, New York.
Daily News: What does a typical day look like for you?
Shantell: Unless I have a project going on it's pretty chilled. I'll wake up, have breakfast, go to the gym, check emails and then go out for the day for meetings or to the studio. If I have a project – for example this massive 8,000 square feet mural I just did in Denver – I'll wake up, head to the site and draw for hours, just taking a break for lunch and dinner.
Daily News: What projects have you recently been working on?
Shantell: The above, a video with my friend Casey Neistat, a solo museum show at the Albright Knox in Buffalo, a solo gallery show at the Chandran Gallery in San Francisco and launched a line of sunglasses with Max Mara.
Daily News: What was the inspiration for your career route?
Shantell: To live a life that revolved around saying yes to things that felt like a yes and no to things that felt like a no… I was saying now for a real longtime!
Daily News: What do you find most challenging and exciting about your career?
Shantell: There is no model for what I'm doing or have done. As an artist, I've had a career as a VJ, been a fellow at Columbia, a visiting scholar at MIT media Lab, an adjunct professor for years at NYU, TISH, have had solo museum shows, worked with large brands and agencies, worked a lot with nonprofits and charity's, taught workshops with children, teenagers and adults, experimented with new mediums and technologies and I am now getting into acting and hoping to be a future correspondent.
Daily News: How do you manage a healthy work/life balance?
Shantell: Don't stress. It always seems strange to me when I see friends who are crazy stressed working 60, 70, 80 hours a week and don't feel like they are getting anything done. You must sleep well, eat well and focus during work hours and then check out and relax when not working.
Daily News: What do you consider your greatest achievement?
Shantell: Being able to imagine a future for myself that the system I grew up in did not care to imagine for me.
Daily News: Where do you see yourself in 5, 10, 20 years?
Shantell: Hey, I wish I could see myself next week. I've heard it's a good exercise, I'll give it a go sometime.
Daily News: Do you have any advice for other young professionals?
Shantell: You have to create your own opportunities by using what you have access too!
Daily News: Where is your favourite place to dine in your city and why?
Shantell: BIG fan of Saraghina in Brooklyn as I drew all over it. Drawing aside, I love to eat at NIX near union square – great staff and all amazing veggie or vegan food!
Daily News: What's your most treasured possession?
Shantell: Don't think I have one – would not want to lose my passport as they could be a pain in the side to replace. Also, I only have one photo of my Dad who I've never met and don't actually know if he is still alive.
Daily News: Who's one person you think everyone should be following on social media?
Shantell: I enjoy following Maria Popova, Adam J. Kurtz, Zach Lieberman and Jessica Rosenkrantz.
Daily News: If you could be in someone else's shoes for a day, who would it be?
Shantell: Have to think about this one.
Daily News: What's your favourite city or country to visit and why?
Shantell: Always enjoy visiting Toronto – Just went there for my birthday. Such a chilled city, great food, museums, friends and more.
Daily News: What is your greatest fear?
Shantell: Not a huge fan of being out in water.
Daily News: What's your guiltiest pleasure?
Shantell: Love DONUTS!
Daily News: And lastly, what does success look like to you?
Shantell: I'd love to know!

Recent reviews
Superb 9.0 From 16 reviews
This was perhaps the most enchanting room I've ever staying in. As a history lover, the original 16 century painted ceiling and sympathetic furnishings were very atmospheric, and my room had a view of the town square which is hands down the best view I've ever had. If you're looking for fast wi-fi and English TV channels this isn't the place - but to appreciate historic Torun, I highly recommend.
It was not a non smoking room and it has been realy noisy
The location is right on the main square which is great, and they have parking spots available in an underground parking lot nearby which is helpful. However, there is no one there for check in during the times listed and I had to have a server in the restaurant attached to the hotel phone on my behalf. The room was nice, but it was a bit uncomfortable with no curtains, even in the washroom. We had to put a sheet up since we could see people having a party on a roof top patio nearby. If we can see them they can probably see us. I also would not recommend staying at this hotel if you don't have a little bit of knowledge in the Polish language. I know some Polish, but at times it was challenging.
The staff were very welcoming and happy to help in so many ways. The room was very clean and the bed was a dream to sleep in. The location was perfect. If we return to Torun, that's were we will be staying again.

Kathie Lee Gifford biography (bio):
Kathie Lee Gifford is an American singer, songwriter, and actress, famous for her stint on the television talk show Live with Regis and Kathie Lee, which she co-hosted with Regis Philbin for 15 years.
About a year after The Globe uncovered the affair, the same tabloid published photographs of Kathie Lee's youngest child, Cassidy, next to a photo of child murder victim JonBenét Ramsey. The Globe selected photos in which the children were posed similarly, under a headline that announced that Kathie Lee was doing the "same" thing to her own daughter as Patsy Ramsey did to JonBenét. While some believe Patsy murdered her daughter, others believe that JonBenét's mother had somehow invited the murder upon her child. The title of the Globe article therefore suggested that Kathie Lee's parenting was negligent.
In 2000, within two weeks of the Globe article, after 15 years as Philbin's sidekick, Gifford announced that she was leaving Live with Regis and Kathie Lee in order to protect her children, although she said nothing on the air about the latest attacks from tabloids on her family. Kelly Ripa replaced Kathie Lee as Philbin's Live co-host.
She has since made guest appearances in films and television series, and has several independently released albums on CD, including 2000s The Heart of a Woman, featuring music from the Big Band era as well as Contemporary Christian songs.
Since September 2005, Gifford is a special correspondent on The Insider, a syndicated entertainment magazine television show.
Kathie Lee also devotes time to Variety: The Children's Charity. She has also sponsored and supported two shelters in New York City for babies born with HIV or a congenital crack cocaine addiction. These shelters were named in honor of her children, Cody and Cassidy.
n the third episode of South Park Kathie Lee comes to the South Park as Mr. Garrison's childhood rival. In the episode, Mr. Garrison tries to kill Kathie Lee, but ultimately fails. (Gifford did not provide her own voice; she was impersonated by a voice actor)
In a Season 3 episode of Hey Arnold!, Kathie Lee is parodied as Jackie Lee.
Kathie Lee and her husband, Frank, share the same birthdate, 23 years apart.
Kathie Lee appeared as Miss Hannigan in "Annie" at Madison Square Garden in December 2006.
Kathie Lee's line of clothing has been discussed in the documentary film The Corporation as it was discovered that despite pledges to children's charities, the clothes were in fact manufactured in South American sweatshops by children as young as 13 years old (though Ms. Gifford was apparently oblivious of that fact until it became national news.)

Huge demand for Sabah frozen prawns
Daily Express News. Fisheries Director General Datuk Ahamad Sabki Mahmood
Tawau: There is a huge market for the district's aquaculture produce like frozen prawns in Korea and Vietnam, which offers a good price for them.
According to Malaysian Fisheries Director General Datuk Ahamad Sabki Mahmood, industry players here would be able to reap positive returns there, thanks to the high and export quality of local prawns produced by companies under the Entry Point Projects of the National Key Economic Area (NKEA).
He said this after launching the 200th container for prawn exports under NKEA project, Pegagau Specialty Farming Sdn Bhd in Semporna. Also present was Pegagau's managing director Lim Ah Cham and Sabah Fisheries Aquaculture Management Division Chief Azhar Kassim.
Pegagau began operations on October 2012 and today it has the capacity to produce up to 20 tonnes of prawns a day. They are also a pioneering firm under the EPP6 (Integrated Ponding System) that has hit the project deliverables target and fulfilling the Fisheries Department Key Performance Index (KPI).
"The KPI include the execution of research and development integration, training, hatchery development, operation of breeding pools, processing plant and food factory and market direction," he said.
From 2011 to 2014, Ahamad said some 23 firms have forwarded their proposals to become the pioneering firms and 14 were appointed to become the quantum pioneers, involving an investment worth RM446.3 million.
He added the Government is confident with the EPP5 Integrated Pooling System which would be able to generate RM1.2 billion (US$398 million) from the Gross National Income and 12,000 job opportunities in a span of 10 years until 2020.
Under the same programme 10,000ha has been developed by the pioneering firms, producing up to 100,000 tonnes of fish and prawns by 2020.
According to Ahamad, Pegagau has hit 2,53.67 metric tonnes by 2013, and until July this year, their total output is 1,050 metric tonnes and as a result they created 330 jobs.
Pegagau has been set up with the cost of RM10 million and is equipped with a processing plant near its breeding pool, and since they began operations, some 175 containers have been exported.
