I'm back!
It's been a while. Haven't had both my hands free for a while. To be honest, I have a secret. I started writing again. Nothing special, just a way to free my mind of daily thoughts. I can't seem to empty my head enough to read book. I need a simple story to read. One that does not interfere with my spattered thought process. So I decided to write a story I could read. I sat down one day and started it. I was thinking that if I posted the first chapter on here I could get some feedback. If you read my blog and you would like to participate in this by reading excerpts and offering feedback, please leave a comment to this post. I will posting the first chapter next weekend. Thank you. I promise to post more soon. After all. today Jack is three months and I have pictures!

I finally took my first excursion outside of Chengdu (which I desperately needed), about 2 hours away to a town called Leshan. Living in a city when you're the type of girl who loves the outdoors and fresh air can make you quite anxious. Luckily, I was able to go to Leshan with a new friend I made along from Holland who was also a Leshan virgin. Leshan is particularly known for having the largest stone-carved Buddha in the world.. and if you know me, I am completely fascinated with everything Buddha. So this seemed right down my alley!
We met up with a couple of Australian guys that rented a mini-van to get us out there. Mind you, this was also my first time driving anywhere in china in something other than a taxi or a train within the city. So this was going to prove to be an adventure in itself because from my experience, people in China aren't the best drivers..
My skepticism proved to be right.. we had a jerky and swervy two hour ride to Leshan. But the van driver was seriously the sweetest, funniest guy ever. He made the trip that much better, regardless of his horrible driving skills. Sadly he had to bring along his not-so-amused son who sat in the passenger seat of the car, not speaking the entire time. Oh well.. his loss!
When we got to Leshan, we went into the park which was about 90 RMB, give or take. We climbed some stairs, climbed some more stairs, walked and walked until we finally got to where the top of the Buddha was (This thing is massive and you start up by the head and have to climb down to get to where its feet are).
But that wasn't the only massive thing that greeted us.. a line consisting of HUNDREDS of people stood before us, and this was just to get down to where the Buddha's feet were! Little did I know, this would be how all Chinese attractions are. Long, scattered lines. But hey, that's what you get when your country's population is over a 1.4 billion, right? (I also respect the fact that lines are just not part of Chinese culture, btw!)
Long story short.. the Buddha was pretty freakin cool. Would I go back again? Heck to the no. That extremely long line kind of killed the magic of seeing the Buddha. I'm used to being able to look at things at my own pace and not have to wait almost two hours. But maybe tourist attractions just aren't my thing?
You should definitely go check out the Giant Buddha in Leshan though.. It's one of those, do it once and get it over with things. It is beautifully sculpted and overlooks a gorgeous river. Make sure to wait to leave the park and walk a bit away from the exit before buying any food though! Our driver told us the restaurants near the exit jack up their prices because of the tourists!
Have you ever been to Leshan? Or have you ever experienced a Chinese tourist attraction before?

Sunday 26th April
Nice early start to meet Brian, and we are rewarded with a Barn Owl sitting on a roadside post before we pull into the Lakenheath car park at first light.
The usual route was taken, so up to the wash and a walk along the bank and river Little Ouse seperating Suffolk from Norfolk. Before reaching the steps I hear my first Cuckoo of the year. As I reach the top step it's seen flying across the tree tops in the distance.
Good numbers of Reed and Sedge Warblers are heard calling as we round the bend and make our way along the bank. While listening to these the distinctive sound of a Grashopper Warbler starts up. This proved more difficult to pin down than the Reed and Sedge Warblers.
Approaching the Joist Fen viewpoint a Bittern is heard booming and several Whitethroat and Cetti's are calling.
At the viewpoint Brain gets a fleeting glimpse of two Cranes before they drop down into the reeds, and several Marsh harriers are on show.
During the previous week varying numbers of Dotterel had been reported at Choseley drying barns in Norfolk, so we decided to drop in hoping that one or two may still be present.
On route we had another encounter with a Barn Owl. Our third of the morning. This individual was hunting a roadside field.
On arrival our luck was in, when three were seen distantly feeding in the ploughed field next to the drying barns. Good scope views but no chance of any photos at this distance.
The surrounding fields held large numbers of Yellowhammers, Linnets and Stock Doves with smaller numbers of Corn Buntings in the surrounding bushes.
Red-legged partridge were feeding close to the road and plenty of hares were seen. A Marsh harrier drifted across and a Red Kite was seen being harassed by Rooks and a single male Wheatear was also seen.
News came through that two Ring Ouzels were present on a sports field at Thornham, being only a mile away we dropped in for a look.
On arrival a guy was inflating a giant bouncy castle on the field, Luckily we located the birds at the far end of the field feeding close to the cricket covers and field hedges.
We dropped in at Titchwell for a quick visit, to find it surprisingly quiet. We managed to find a Spotted Redshank for another year tick and Brian bagged an extra year tick with a Little Ringed Plover, that I had already seen at Broom GP's in Bedfordshire.

Vayeishev (December 9, 2017)
Thoughts on Tamar
Judah got a wife for Er, his first-born; her name was Tamar. But Er, Judah's first-born, was displeasing to the Lord, and the Lord took his life. Then Judah said to Onan, "Join with your brother's wife and do your duty by her as a brother-in-law, and provide offspring for your brother. But Onan, knowing that the seed would not count as his, let it go to waste whenever he joined with his brother's wife, so as not to provide offspring for his brother. What he did was displeasing to the Lord, and he took his life also.
— Genesis 38:6-10
Bettijane Eisenpreis
I am not sure to what passage she was referring, but the story of Tamar could certainly qualify. It is sandwiched in Vayeishev between two parts of the story of Joseph and his brothers. Tamar was married consecutively to two of the sons of Judah, Er and Onan. When his brother Er, Tamar's first husband died, Onan was obligated to marry Tamar and give her children. According to the custom called Levirate marriage, those children would be counted as Er's, even though Onan was their actual father.
Onan did marry Tamar, but rather than have his offspring credited to his dead brother, he "spilled his seed on the ground," a form of masturbation that is still called "onanism." This was considered a sin, and Onan died as a result. Judah had one remaining son, Shelah, and because — with some justification — he thought it would be bad luck for him to marry Tamar. So Judah told Tamar to go back to her father's house and wait until Shelah was grown.
Actually, Judah had no intention of letting Tamar marry Shelah, and Tamar must have figured that out. When she realized Judah would not make an honest woman of her, she posed as a cult prostitute and tricked him into having sex with her, taking his seal and staff as proof of his payment for her services. When Judah heard that Tamar was pregnant, he demanded that she be killed as a prostitute. But Tamar proved that the child was his by producing the seal and staff he had given her, and Judah admitted that she was right. Tamar lived to give birth to twins, one of whom, tradition says, was the progenitor of Kind David.
Judah is the one character who appears in both the story of Joseph and the story of Tamar. In neither tale is he wholly admirable, but he is not a complete villain either. It is he who suggests that the brothers sell Joseph to the Midianites rather than killing him, and he admits that Tamar is "more right than I, inasmuch as I did not give her to my son Shelah."
Both stories show Judah's character at this point in his life. He saves the lives both of Joseph and Tamar but only after causing both of them significant trauma. He is beginning to mature, but he isn't there yet. It is not until Parashat Vayigash that he comes into his own. The characters of Genesis may or may not have existed, but they are real people in the sense that they make mistakes and rise to great heights. That is certainly true of Judah, as we shall see.

I'd like to be able to select certain products to be added to a Featured Products block within the sub-category pages. When tick the FC box within the relevant product, they are added to the featured block within the master category and not the sub-category that the product sits in. Is there any way to get BP to show within the subcategory rather than the main category?


text: Background Dupuytren's contracture or disease (DD) is a fibro-proliferative disease of the hand that results in the development of scar-like collagen-rich disease cords within specific palmar fascia bands. matrices brought on dramatic changes in β-catenin and fibronectin levels including a transient increase in β-catenin levels within disease cells while fibronectin levels steadily decreased to levels below those seen in normal cell cultures. On the other hand both fibronectin and β-catenin amounts elevated in attached collagen-matrix civilizations of disease cells while control civilizations showed only increases in fibronectin levels. Immunocytochemistry analysis also revealed considerable filamentous actin networks in disease cells and enhanced attachment and distributing of disease cell in collagen MP470 matrices. OI4 Conclusion Three-dimensional collagen matrix cultures of main disease cell lines are more contractile and express a MP470 more considerable filamentous actin network than patient-matched control cultures. The elevated levels of β-catenin and Fn seen in collagen matrix cultures of disease fibroblasts can be regulated by changes in isometric tension. Background Dupuytren's contracture or disease (DD) is MP470 usually a benign but debilitating fibro-proliferative disease of the palmar fascia [1] that causes permanent flexion of the affected fingers [2]. Clinically DD progresses through distinct stages with the earliest stage of the disease characterized by the appearance of small nodules of hyperproliferative cells that give rise to scar-like collagen-rich disease cords (Fig ?(Fig11). Physique 1 Classical presentation of Dupuytren's contracture. The most commonly affected digits are the ulnar digits (ring and small fingers). Surgery is usually indicated when joint contracture exceeds 30° or when nodules are painful and interfere with hand function. … In spite of numerous studies over the years the etiology of this disease remains obscure. However DD does display several features of a malignancy including high rates of recurrence following surgery unique chromosomal abnormalities [3-7] and increased total and malignancy mortality rates among men with established disease [8 9 This notion is usually further supported by studies from our labs as well as others that show aberrant expression of β-catenin a key cell signalling molecule frequently mutated in human cancers [10 11 in DD [12 13 including several related fibromatoses [14-18]. Additional studies from our laboratories also suggest that β-catenin may play an important role in cutaneous wound healing [19]. β-catenin was first identified as a component of cell-cell adhesion structures (adherens junctions) that actually couples cadherins to the cytoskeleton via α-catenin (Fig. ?(Fig.2)2) [20-22]. It is also a key signalling factor within the canonical Wnt pathway [10] which is usually involved in growth and development of numerous cell types [23]. In the canonical Wnt pathway (Wnt/β-catenin) these secreted ligands bind to receptor complexes consisting of a Frizzled (Fz) receptor and a low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP) MP470 [24-27]. Upon Wnt activation glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) catalyzed phosphorylation of β-catenin is usually inhibited resulting in an increase in the 'free' (uncomplexed to cadherin) cytosolic levels of β-catenin. This in turn prospects to its subsequent accumulation within the nucleus where it binds to users of the Tcf/Lef (T-cell factor-lymphoid enhancer factor) transcription aspect family members [28 29 to modify gene appearance [30-34]. Body 2 Canonical Wnt/β-catenin pathway. β-catenin is certainly an element of cell-cell adhesion buildings (adherens junctions) [20-22] and an integral signaling element in the Wnt pathway [10]. As proven right here canonical Wnt signalling (Wnt/β-catenin) … Modifications in the extracellular matrix (ECM) are another essential scientific feature of DD. Disease cords are generally made up of collagen type I and also have elevated degrees of collagen type III in comparison MP470 to regular palmar fascia tissues [35-38]. Fibronectin (Fn) a favorite extracellular glycoprotein that has a vital function in various cell features including adhesion proliferation migration and differentiation [39] can be prominently portrayed in DD lesions especially within extracellular plaques termed fibronexus that are carefully connected with DD myofibroblasts [40]. To-date several Fn isoforms and their post-translational customized forms (ED-A ED-B oncofetal Fn) which are usually.

By: Ryan McKee
Five years ago, Matt McClellan stopped managing an Italian restaurant and opened his first pizzeria. Now he's competing with Papa John Schnatter and the cartoon Little Caesar to be the new face of the pizza industry.
When McClellan tried to promote his bicycle-themed restaurant Tour de Pizza amongst the fitness-conscious, they complained pizza is nothing more than junk food. To prove them wrong, McClellan designed the 30-day Pizza Diet with health professionals. He used himself as the guinea pig and last July lost 24 pounds by eating only pizza and working out an hour a day, five days a week.
He has repeated the diet two times since. The second time to prove you can bulk-up with lean muscle mass while eating only pizza and the third time last month while bicycling from Florida to New York to promote his philosophy.
"It's all teaching people how to eat healthy in the real world. It's a lifestyle change, not just a crash diet," he says.
McClellan spoke to MadeMan.com about his controversial diet, his critics, and why Jared from Subway kind of sucks.
Can you give us your elevator pitch for the 30-Day pizza diet?
The creation of it started at Gold's Gym. I was giving out free samples on their customer appreciation night. People complained that pizza is junk food and they couldn't eat it because they're on a diet. I tried to explain that pizza is the healthiest food of all fast foods. It's baked, not fried.
The problem was that I wasn't living what I was preaching. I got out of shape. So to prove that pizza is healthy, I did a 30-day pizza experiment. I ate slice every three hours and got the physical vale of a full day's nutrition: vegetable, meat, fruit and different combinations. I worked out an hour a day, half an hour of weight training and half an hour of cardio, five days a week. Over thirty days I lowered my cholesterol 86 points. I lost 24 pounds. I lowered my blood pressure, lost 10 percent body fat and took five inches off my waist. That's with no vitamins, no supplements, no pills, no protein shakes, no Creatine – just pizza and exercise.
Are you advocating that others try this diet?
Well, I did the extreme example because I had to take the critics away in the media. People who would say, "Oh, you ate salad for lunch and chicken for dinner, that's why you lost weight." I don't recommend people do what I did. I certainly don't plan on eating pizza everyday for the rest of my life. What I am advocating is that pizza is the healthiest fast food. If you're in a hurry and need to eat cheap, you're much better off going to your local pizza shop than any other drive-thru window.
Your critics claim pizza shouldn't be considered healthy because it's high in fat and sodium.
Cheese is high in sodium, but the pizza diet has always been about exercise too. You have to sweat every day. Matthew McConaughy said in an interview that he keeps in shape with the simple notion of trying to sweat everyday. I do the same, whether it's running, biking, swimming … it doesn't matter, just break a sweat.
When your body sweats, you need to replace the electrolytes. A lot of athletes use Gatorade to replace the sodium lost from sweating. Marathon runners use salt tablets. Although pizza is high in sodium, it's healthy if you use it as a performance food. That's how I lowered my blood pressure, my body regulated the sodium by sweating.
When guys go into a pizzeria, are there certain toppings or types of pizza they should avoid to stay healthy?
There's a mindset with pizza where people tend to gorge themselves late at night with a liter of soda. Staying healthy with pizza is just like anything; it's all about calories in versus calories out. Think portion control and try to eat five or six smaller meals a day instead of three large ones. That helps your insulin levels stay lower and your metabolism stay higher.
As far as my pizza diet, I only ate my protein slices, the ones with meat, after I had worked out. The reason why is after you're done working out, your muscle fibers are ready to absorb protein. That's why you see bodybuilders chugging protein shakes after working out. I only ate two protein slices a day, the rest where veggies, fruits, artichoke hearts, etc. And I only ate one at a time.
The TV show 'The Doctors' actually did a great article where they compared a slice of Pizza Hut pizza with a slice from an independent pizza shop. The difference between the two was about 600 calories. The Pizza Hut slice was about 900 calories compared to the independent pizza was 300. Some of these chains don't use real cheese. They use fillers and processed foods. However, a slice of Pizza Hut pizza is still healthier than a Big Mac.
Are you the new Jared from Subway?
I love the comparison because Jared is an international icon for health and fitness. The downside to Jared is he never proved his health. If you go on Subway's website and read his story, Jared really didn't do anything. By his own admission, his breakfast was a cup of coffee. His first meal of the day was a six-inch turkey sub with no mayo or dairy. For dinner, he ate a foot-long veggie subway with no dairy and drank diet sodas.
He did no working out for the first six months until he lost enough weight to really move around. Essentially all Jared did for the first part of his famous Subway diet was lay in a bed and starve himself every day. We've never seen Jared with his shirt off. I didn't take mine off for vanity reasons. I did it to show my life is an open book. All my health information is available. We don't know if Jared had a gastric bypass ten years ago.
Taco Bell came out with a drive-thru diet with this lady Christine who said she lost 50 pounds in two years. So she obviously didn't push herself too hard. But they've done no blood work, no workout regiment – it's just about weight loss on a scale. That doesn't mean they're healthy. Thin people die everyday of hypertension, heart attacks …
The difference between those diets and the Pizza Diet is I proved it. I gave everyone my test results that prove I'm healthy. I'm not trying to call these companies out, but of the three fast food diets out there, mine, Subway and Taco Bell, I've had the most success and the most accountability.

One of my favorite television shows of all time is a Canadian gem called Flashpoint, which ended this past year after a five season run. It was well written, well acted, incredibly dramatic and exciting, and, because it was Canadian, it wasn't graphic with its violence.
(God bless Canada. It says something about my non-Canadian culture–not something good, in case that wasn't clear–that we think realism requires gory, bloody, anatomically accurate carnage. Similarly we think love requires sex. Apparently we can't fathom anything that doesn't happen to our bodies. Hooray naturalism.)
In brief the show follows a group of dedicated police officers who enter terrible and dangerous situations, then try to defuse them and get everyone out alive. Usually someone has made terrible life choices, gotten themselves into a heart-wrenching situation, and created a worse situation in the haze of despair. Sometimes things go badly–as they say in the show, they can do everything right and still have the situation go wrong–but other times the heroes save the day.
That's what the police are intended to be in the show. (Yet another thing to like about it; police usually don't get enough respect.) Its creators describe it as a show about the human cost of being heroes. We're supposed to see the heroes be heroic and understand what it takes for them to do it.
Now, anyone who knows me at all knows that they had me at heroes. There are no genres I embrace more enthusiastically than heroic narratives. Lately I discovered another show, Arrow, which is about the DC Comics superhero Green Arrow; it's badly written, poorly acted, doesn't seem to understand even the basics of drama, and I watch it anyway. I kind of miss it when I can't watch it, actually.
It might be easy to dismiss this particular infatuation because I'm male–lots of folk talk about how men want to be heroes themselves, and even more folk talk about how women are sick of people thinking they need to be saved by men–but there's a bit of a twist. Yes, I like the idea of being a hero–I'm enormous and hairy, so there's no point denying the level of testosterone in my system–but I like hero narratives because I'm already in one, and I'm the person in distress. For me hero narratives point to the hero of my own experience, who is most certainly not me.
Let's use our imaginations for a moment and imagine a person who makes bad choices. (This should not be difficult.) Bad choices tend to lead to bad situations, and in bad situations it's easy to make more bad choices. If you watch any crime shows at all–or have even a passing acquaintance with actual human beings–this is easy to understand. People end up addicted, desperate, trapped, and doomed. A lot of the time they get themselves there freely.
So let's imagine a boy who's small and scared, poor and isolated. He's constantly hungry and nervous, in addition to the usual childhood burdens of jealousy and impotence. Then someone offers him a way to be less hungry, less scared, and the cost is relatively small, maybe a petty theft. Well, it feels good to have a bit of power over his own fate, so he does that a few more times. Eventually escalation is required, but it doesn't seem as hard anymore.
Fast forward to the teenager in a gang who's more scared of the people over him than he ever was of the outside world. Now he's seen the terrible dehumanizing cost of the life he leads, but what can he do? Even if he could escape, what would he be escaping to but either justifiable punishment or a miserable life trying to hide both from punishment and his gang.
Incidentally, this is exactly the sort of teenager who would make a desperate decision and need to get rescued by the police in Flashpoint. Also incidentally, it's the story of Christmas.
You see, there's a moment in every heroic narrative when the hero shows up. If it's done well–so don't look for examples in Arrow–it's magical. As the one song puts it, there's a "thrill of hope" that maybe everything will be ok.
In the heroic narrative we call history, that point happened about 2,020 years ago. Every human being was that desperate teenager I described above. We all made bad decisions, we all chose such corrupt power as the devil offered in place of God, and as a race we came to deeply regret it, but what could we do? Our situation was hopeless; we didn't know how to fix what we'd caused, we didn't want the punishment we knew we were due, and we couldn't stop making things worse.
But then God came.
When it comes to holidays, Easter is the most important one in the Christian story–if Christ wasn't crucified and resurrected, nothing else matters–but Christmas is the climax. Once God shows up, resolution is inevitable. The resolution is also inevitably good, because God is Good, but that takes a bit more unpacking. What's clear though is that everything changes. To use a toned down version of the cliché: "Things got real."
Let's imagine that desperate teen above confronts the leader of the gang. The leader of the gang responds with violent fury. The teen imagines he's going to die. Then Batman shows up and says, "Leave the kid alone. If you want to tangle, how about you tangle with me."
That's Christmas. That moment is Christmas. The eternal Son of God shows up and says, "Okay, Sin, how about you tangle with me?" (Spoiler: This does not go well for sin.)
And that's why I like heroic stories. For me, every heroic story reflects the one truest one, the story of a heroic God. It's why I like Christmas too, when the heroic God showed up. Frankly I can't get enough of that story.

According to the charity Destined, which serves as an advocate for people with learning impairments, the huge shortage in financing has been going on for at least a year.
Dermot O Hara from the charity as recommended the underspend might extend back as far as 1996.
He stated that figures from the trust indicate a shortfall in spending on services for those with handicaps totaling 4m a year.
He stated, acute services in the area had actually been overfunded to the tune of 4m and older individual's services by 9m a year.
The group is releasing a campaign tomorrow in the city, Mr. O Hara said, adding it's not appropriate, we are not 2nd class citizens.
He stated they had actually been raising the problem of underfunding over a duration of years and if essential, they would take the protest to the minister s door.
In a statement the Western Trust validated that over the previous 2 years, there had actually been a deficit in investment in learning disability services totaling up to 8 million.
The Trust has actually received an additional investment of 2.3 million for this financial year.
It included that it was going to work with families, careers and advocate groups to develop plans to resolve the financing spaces.

t's already December and we're in the midst of the gift-giving season. Some people are already prepared, having selected their gifts within a specific budget and time frame. They are free to enjoy the holidays without that worry now. Others are feeling the pressure of the upcoming weeks and they will be the prime candidates for overspending. If this sounds like you, you're not alone.
According to studies by a variety of research analysts including NPD, somewhere between 20 and 30 percent of gift-givers wait until the last minute to shop. These people give different reasons for their procrastination. ranging from being too busy or overwhelmed to not having enough money in their bank accounts to complete their shopping. The National Retail Federation (NRF) estimates the average person spends a little over $1,000 on holiday purchases. If you're part of that 30 percent of last-minute shoppers, and your reason is money, a Holiday Club Savings Account can help. You can:
1. Open a holiday club account as a gift for someone else and make payments for them throughout the year;2. Vow not to be a last-minute shopper because of money next year and open a Holiday Club account for yourself;3. Relax and come in by January 15 to open your own Holiday Club.
Whichever way you choose to solve your last-minute dilemmas, you'll start a tradition of savings that will prepare your pocketbook and possibly put you in the other 70 percent of people who shop early. Holiday Club accounts allow you to pay $2, $5, $10 or $20 per week for 50 weeks. While you can open the account as early as October, you can still benefit from opening it in December or January. Next October, you'll still be thanking yourself for this strategic move. Checks are mailed at the end of October/early November.
Start by paying attention to your expenditures this year. If you are happy with all your purchases this year, decide what it will take to have enough money to outdo yourself next year. Then decide how much you can put aside each week toward that goal. Incorporate the Holiday Club payment schedule into your banking routine, making payments weekly, monthly or quarterly, according to your preference. A Holiday Club does not require routine payments, but you will only receive back what you put in the account. Therefore, it's wise to choose a club that fits your budget. You may open multiple clubs, depending on your plans.
You'll earn interest on your Holiday Club account at the same rate as a statement savings. Your checks are mailed at the end of October/early November.
Get out of that 30 percent of last-minute shoppers and give yourself the gift of a Holiday Club. You'll be glad you did.

text: Several new movies that focus on Asperger's are coming out now which is always a mix of excitement and dread. The NY Times has been kind (so far) to Adam which was a hit at Sundance. My concern always is that people with Asperger's may be portrayed in stereotyped ways or that they will otherwise portray these folks in unrealistic ways (while Josh Hartnett gets the girl in one film from a couple of years back, it doesn't always work that way, does it?). On the positive side, though, education about any condition is key to understanding and accomodation. And what better vehicle for massive dissemination than a well distributed movie!

Let's be honest, personal finance can be confusing. There are taxes, investments, estate planning, and insurance concerns to think about, just to name a few. Within each of these topics are questions to ask: IRA or ROTH IRA; am I taking the right tax deductions; should I pay off my mortgage before I retire; what is a trust and do I need one; have I saved enough; and the ever dreaded, am I going to run out of money.
On top of all of that there is the economy, the Federal Reserve, geopolitical issues, debt ceilings, and government shut-downs that flash in front of you all day long through all sorts of outlets. There is no shortage of information available today, but the challenge is filtering down all of this "information" to what matters to you.
The intent of this blog is to introduce you to topics you may not be familiar with and expand your knowledge on topics you already know and would like to learn more about. I welcome your feedback and questions, because my hope is this blog will spark more conversations about what affects and interests you most.
This blog will take the place of the emails that you occasionally receive from me so that each post is archived in one place for you to revisit and share with friends and family.


text: Hi. Recently when I turned on my desktop, I had recieved a flash when it booted (after BIOS and after windows boot logo) then it restarted infinitely, so I opened up startup repair option.. it told me there was nothing It could do. So I viewed the report and somewhere along the bottom it said "Corrupt Registry" and a lot of 000X0001 or somes**t. I've tried hardware fixes and stuff, I am definetly certain it is corrup registry. I've tried using CMD to use the backup registry files and overwriting them to the registry files but that did not work Please help, I don't want to lose all of mah files! - Off topic here but where can I download the latest win 7 ult 64bit (i want most, if not all windows updates installed with it)

Kim Kardashian has revealed a very private secret as she opens up on boob tape and red carpet cleavage.
The busty reality TV star certainly isn't shy, and she proved it as she exposed her chest on her website as she revealed how she has the "perfect" look in plunging dresses.
Kim - who has been reflecting on her outfit from the 2009 Grammy Awards this week - is striking a playful pose in the steamy picture, in which she has pulled down a white dress to reveal her boobs and abs.
She wrote: "I definitely had to share my tape secret with you guys!!

It's my secret trick to have perfect cleavage in photos. You tape them up so they are super lifted. It takes a little work but trust me it's all worth it LOL. (sic)"
Kim even advised fans on what kind of tape is the best to use, admitting she's tried all sorts - including duct tape.
She added: "I've used everything from duct tape to packing tape to masking tape and I think that the best I found is gaffer's tape.
"It sticks the best! Make sure you don't have any lotion or oils on when you're lifting your boobs up with the tape. Just brace yourself for when it's time to take it off LOL. (sic)"

perfect escape from current OSes...
by padawan on Wed 13th Nov 2002 03:55 UTC
I have not enjoyed the current operating systems at all... I find that I enjoy the older ones ALOT more... considering the programming course I am taking at my school is BASIC(I enjoy programming in BASIC more so than in C/C++ but am capable of both) and I have read some people comparing it to BASIC I may try it out.... seams like it could be a great learning tool for those interested in low-level things...

~ Felt Embellishments ~
Discovering the joys of felt - who knew it could be so fun and delicious? Ah, and making this cabbage rose ... this flower is so soft and beautiful. I had so much fun with this card, piling the lovelies on!
The cherry-crystals turned out kind of cute I hope.
Sentiment from a Fiskar's set, scallop die from PaperTrey Ink, and patterned papers from Melissa Frances.
... buttons, ribbons, chipboard key, white ink, little stamps from randomness on my table.
I don't have PTI felt (yet) ... so I grabbed a piece that is definitely not as woolly (it doesn't work with dies) and trimmed the leaves with my scissors. A little tea-dye ink warms the tones ...
More felt fuzzies ...
It's pretty hard to cut a perfect circle, especially with felt. Please understand.
Loving the PTI notebook page die and sentiment stamps! LOVE!
Let me ask you a question. Are there any rules about adding pearls to a card for a guy?
The card was matted with felt and some unknown patterned paper.
Mr. Owl hopped over from October Afternoon along with the ledger lines stamp.
He makes me happy!!!
Have a good week, friends. get out that felt and snip away .....
~ Viola

Hey, Viola! I like these!! I especially like those teeny tiny leaves with the pearls and crystals. The ones at the top that you've "attached" to the letters of your sentiment are especially sweet. Hope you don't mind if I try that out soon! Hope you have a great week, too!!ReplyDelete

Lovely lovely cards Viola! Oh my they warm my heart!ReplyDelete
I love, love, that pretty cabbage rose. Isn't that such a fun way to reuse tissue paper from gift bags? I save mine just for that purpose. But I really love the felt leaves - the way you died them is lovely. They look so vintage and pretty!ReplyDelete

SAIl is a work space where young minds can give shape to their ideas through hands on do-it-yourself mode; and learn innovation skills. Young children will get a chance to work with tools and equipment to understand the concepts of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). SAIL will Introduce entrepreneurship training into the formal education curriculum in an integrated approach.
SAIL gives entrepreneurship and employable skill training to the studens from class 6 onwards .
There will be 10 levels for each job training.
Each year the students gets training in one level .
The students complets his/her 10th level along with their graduation.
By the time someone has completed eight years of school, they should be able to put together a basic profit and loss statement, and a basic balance sheet. They should also be able to read financial statements. This is really, really simple, and not much more complicated than reading football scores!
Our programs are designed to give them unique, individual experiences, let them learn in a fun, interactive manner, and above all, give each and every one of our students our personal attention and assure their safety. SAIL helps the student to be independent and self- regulated in learning as well as acquiring skills and new knowledge , through the activities designed for the job training. Besides this , students are also expected to develop an inquisitive mind and crave for knowledge through presentations lessons of SAIL. How do we achieve these goals?
We offer our students a rich program packed with exciting activities and workshops, while giving them the freedom to choose among them and suggest new job roles, based on their own interests (the classes are mandatory). students will be expected to master the core skills as well as the soft skills , through a series of continuous and comprehensive assessment tests , remedial lessons and monitoring systems.Through SAIL class , students will collaborate, communicate, think, experiment and reflect throughout the day.The skills developed through SAIL includes the ability to think critically , innovatively and analytically. This allows us to tailor the program to our students' interests and treat them like young entrepreneur.
We emphasize active, experiential education. In addition to some classroom time, our students learn in real life settings. We offer individual tutoring and small group workshops. SAIL Centers would contain educational and learning 'do it yourself' kits and equipment on – science, electronics, robotics, open source microcontroller boards, sensors and 3D printers and computers and much more... Other desirable facilities include meeting rooms and video conferencing facility.
In order to foster inventiveness among students, SAIL can conduct different activities ranging from regional and national level competitions, exhibitions, workshops on problem solving, designing and fabrication of products, lecture series etc. at periodic intervals.
Our fees are all-inclusive and very competitive. They cover all classes, workshops, study materials, tool kits, exhibitions, industrial visits and national level competitions. There are no surprises or hidden fees. Early applicants are eligible for Fee discounts.
SAIL would go as far as to say that anyone who goes to a university must also have mandatory entrepreneurship training, irrespective of what they study. The student will be trained to pitch his entrepreneurship in different formats to raise funds. Raising funds for startups is one of the main skill developed through SAIL. This is because we have to change the scenario of university graduates that are also unemployed, who could easily create jobs for themselves and others.
Together we can help our vast army of entrepreneurs in INDIA become skills-based "enterprise builders."
SAIL strongly believe that if India focuses on fostering and developing entrepreneurship, there will be a remarkable uplift in job creation.
Skill Acquisition and Integrated Learning [SAIL] , which is a 600 hour long training programme based on job related training.

Dimming the lights on renewable energy
March 20, 2013 by Jeff
Filed under Green Energy News
If you believe that renewable energy is an expensive, oversubsidized and ultimately fruitless endeavor, you probably think N.C. Rep. Mike Hager is helping us to finally stop making bad bets about how our future will be powered.
Hager introduced a bill this month that would end North Carolina's mandate that power companies use renewable energy and promote energy efficiency programs. The bill repeals standards set by a 2007 N.C. law that required investor-owned electric utilities to offset at least 12.5 percent of retail sales with renewables or conservation programs by 2021.
With that law, our state was the first in the Southeast to adopt such rigorous standards, and North Carolina was held up as a model for green energy development. Like any forward thinking approach, however, it comes with risks. No one is certain how quickly, or how much, renewables will grow as a viable energy source. It's been a slow, bumpy evolution thus far across the U.S.
Hager, a former Duke Energy engineer, thinks it's a costly risk. He told reporters that energy sources should be chosen on a least-cost basis rather than being propped up by government. The conservative John Locke Foundation agrees, saying the cost of forcing utilities to use expensive renewable energy is harmful to the economy. (Duke Energy, a supporter of the 2007 law, is not taking a position on the merits of H298. Spokesman Tim Pettit did tell the editorial board Monday that the utility has not been "involved in this House bill.")
But H298 is just as much of a gamble with N.C.'s economy. It's a bet that the U.S. will never overcome its dependence on foreign oil and other non-renewable energy sources. It's a bet that the promise of green energy will never be more than a government-financed mirage.
That's not a bet that will benefit North Carolina. The renewable energy standard already has helped to bring $1.7 billion here, with more than 21,000 temporary and permanent jobs created, according to the N.C. Sustainable Energy Association. The national advocacy group Environmental Engineers considers North Carolina a particularly bright spot, pointing to the 7,600 jobs announced in the fourth quarter of 2012. Charlotte has benefited, too, from a number of solar developers and parts providers opening their doors here.
All of which has helped North Carolina build a reputation as a renewable energy leader, already positioned well to accommodate the growing green sector. N.C. Gov. Pat McCrory seems to realize this, telling reporters last week that the state should send the right message to existing and future investors. In January, he threw his support behind the federal government leasing five wind energy sites off the N.C. coast to eager companies. It was, he said, good for state businesses that might provide equipment for such ventures.
Another good sign: House Speaker Thom Tillis has steered H298 toward committees and cautioned lawmakers to slow down.
We're a long way away from realizing the promise of renewables in the U.S., but green energy will eventually join natural gas, coal and nuclear as viable energy sources. When that happens, North Carolina can be ready to reap the economic benefits of an industry that's good for us all. Now is not the time to throw away the advantages we've already gained.

Senator Francis 'Chiz' Escudero' is asking Commission on Elections Chairman Andres Bautista to sign a bank waiver, if the official will not attend the Senate hearing.
According to Sen. Escudero, chairman of the Committee on Banks, Financial Institutions and Currencies, the waiver is important in order for the Senate to continue its investigation on the alleged ill-gotten wealth of Chair Bautista.
Most of the bank accounts of Chair Bautista are deposited at the Luzon Development Bank (LDB).
Based on the accusations of Mr. Bautista's wife, Patricia Paz Bautista, the COMELEC head has 32 bank accounts, containing more than Php 330 million, in the LDB.
Attorney Francis Lim, legal counsel of the LDB, promised that their bank will cooperate with the Senate investigation.
Atty. Lim said that LDB is willing to open their bank records, but Chair Bautista needs to issue a waiver.

Who says lightning can't strike twice? After winning a $1 million prize on a Missouri Lottery Scratchers ticket in April, a Salem resident is adding a $10,000 win to his ever-growing list of Lottery winnings. David Manning, 25, located his second major Missouri Lottery prize on Oct. 4 when he purchased a "$3,000,000 Taxes Paid" from Casey's General Store, 800 Highway 32, in Salem.
"All of my numbers matched, and I had eight of the 'automatically win' symbols. Each one was worth $500. I just can't believe it," reminisced Manning, while claiming his prize on Oct. 5.
Manning was accompanied by his fiancée, Natalie, who was immediately contacted after the prize was uncovered.
"I know to believe him anytime he says he won the Lottery now," laughed Natalie. "It's no joking matter."
After uncovering a $1 million prize on the Lottery's "50X The Cash" Scratchers ticket on April 1, the couple planned on paying for their wedding, paying down debt and moving out of state.
"We're still planning on moving to Florida once she is done with nursing school next year," confirmed Manning. "This will definitely help with that. We'll invest the rest."
"$3,000,000 Million Taxes Paid" is a $20 Scratchers ticket that features more than $61 million in remaining prizes, including prizes between $500,000 and $3 million taxes paid. Introduced on May 18, Manning claimed one of 70 available $10,000 prizes available in the game. Specific information on all Missouri Lottery Scratchers games can be found here at MOLottery.com.
Players must be 18 years or older to purchase Missouri Lottery tickets.

The Senate through its chairman, committee on media and public affairs, Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi (APC, Niger North), has said while it welcomed the return of recently reinstated senator, Ali Ndume, it was not unduly excited.
Mr. Sabi said this while briefing journalists at the National Assembly on Thursday. He said the senators had no "hard feeling towards the newly restored senator."
Mr. Ndume was suspended early this year for calling for an investigation over allegations of illegal importation a bullet-proof vehicle involving Senate President, Bukola Saraki, and certificate forgery levelled against another colleague, Dino Melaye. He was allowed to return on Wednesday.
When asked why the atmosphere and reception towards Mr. Ndume by his colleagues on his return was cold and unfriendly, Mr. Sabi dismissed this.
"Ali Ndume is a senator, just like everyone else in that chamber. He came back and went round to greet everybody. Did anyone turn him down when he stretched his hand for a shake? I shook him.
"Almost everyone else did too except those who were not within his reach. What more do you offer than a very good handshake? How do you show that you've missed a friend than a very good handshake? Do you expect us to get up and clap for him as he comes in? I don't know what your definition of warm reception is," Mr. Sabi said.
He applauded the media as well for receiving Mr. Ndume warmly and also lauded him (Ndume) for going round to greet his colleagues.
"The media gave him a very good reception yesterday by focusing on his entrance into the chamber yesterday. He also gave us very good handshakes," he said.
Speaking on the point of order raised by Mr. Ndume, which was rejected by the senate president, Mr. Sabi said Mr. Ndume flouted senate's rules over re-introducing a matter that has already been treated.
"The point he raised about the one-minute silence for late Senator Adeleke contradicts our rules; I think rule 56(3) or so which says a matter that has already been taken and concluded shall not be taken except by a fresh motion which will be done by the leave of the Senate President.
"This is a very simple thing. He just wanted to express that he missed that moment when we stood up to observe that one-minute silence and he wanted to have his. But unfortunately, it goes against our rules. No hard feelings, we are all brothers," he said.
He expressed optimism that the Senate as well as the entire country will see "a better Ndume."
"Let me also say that because (you) punish your child does not mean that you hate the child or that you are a wicked person. In most instances, people who receive punishment turn out to be better. I want to assure you that you will see a better Ali Ndume in the chamber," he said.

• "…Fractal geometry, which he pioneered and named, also changed the way students and the world at large view mathematics and science. In pure mathematics, examination of masterful computer graphics led him to conjectures of great taste and difficulty that brought several slowly moving fields to intense activity. His observations revived iteration theory after a half century of forced inactivity; but his MLC conjecture (that the "Mandelbrot set is locally connected") is still unsolved after more than a quarter century. In probability theory, his conjecture that the boundary of a segment of Brownian notion is of dimension 4/3 was only proved after 18 years. He broadened the scope of physics by quantifying for the first time a holdover basic sensation, showing that the roughness of typical surfaces can actually be measured by a fractal dimension or Hölder exponent that turned out to be a new "universal." He showed how the support of intermittent turbulence can be measured and how the physics of diverse clusters is determined by their fractal geometry. In economics he enunciated the scaling principle in the 1960s, and his models for price variation, including his later notion of variable (fractal) trading time, are central to current developments in finance. …"
