How do you restore public faith and integrity in athletics?
Athletics Ireland's new High Performance Director, Paul McNamara, speaks to Newstalk.com16:53 Monday 3 April 2017, 16:53 3 Apr 2017
The Olympic Games in Rio last year may have made headlines for the wrong reasons at times, but the performances by the Irish athletes were some of the country's best at a major championship.
The showpiece for athletics, Rio 2016 saw Thomas Barr finish 0.05 seconds outside of a medal place in the final of the 400m hurdles, Sara Treacy make the 3,000m steeplechase final and Fionnuala McCormack finish 20th in the marathon.
Rob Heffernan finished 6th in the 50km and the promising Ciara Mageean made the semi-final of the 1,500m semi-final. A month after that, she smashed her personal best at a Diamond League meeting in Paris. The results came just weeks after her bronze medal win at the European Championships in July.
The work of the Atheltics Ireland cannot be understated when taking into account these results, but there continues to be a level of distrust between the general public when it comes to the sport.
In recent years, doping scandals and allegations have clouded the sport and caused followers and casual fans to have their doubts when it comes to results, world and Olympic records, and medalists.
Even today, the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) president Sebastien Coe was forced to apologise to athletes after the world governing body claimed hackers, thought to be from Russia, broke into their database of confidential medical records.
Writing for this website, Off The Ball presenter Ger Gilroy suggested that athletics should be "torn apart and rebooted".
So, where does one begin when trying to heal the image of a sport so regularly tarnished?
"Integrity is a recurring theme whenever our sport is discussed," Paul McNamara, the newly appointed Director of High Performance at Athletics Ireland, tells Newstalk.com. "Drugs becomes an issue, integrity becomes an issue. It's absolutely critical that a clean sport is put forward and put first.
"Irish athletes have always been challenged when they go overseas with results that have question marks put after them.
"It's a barrier we faced before and we continue to face. I think things are improving in that regard. If you look at the world of endurance running, look at the standard of 5,000 or 10,000 metre performances since 1995 to present.
"Arguably one could pick a date in 1995 that started the beginning of the EPO [Erythropoietin - a hormone which red blood cell production] boom. That's done untold damage to endurance running in Ireland and in other places. It changed the landscape and those performances skyrocketed for approximately 10 years to unfathomable levels.
"It's dropped off drastically since. There's an obvious reason for that.
"Now, for the 12-year-old in Tipperary or Galway that dreams of Olympic medals, that's becoming a more achievable goal again.
"That's something that is achievable and I think our sport is cleaner than it has ever been before. It's certainly not entirely clean, but it's something that people at a very high level are working towards."

McNamara has a background in endurance running, having been crowned National Cross Country champion three times here in Ireland, and is responsible for developing the endurance programme within the association.
With more than 25 years in the sport and 10 years with Athletics Ireland, he succeeds Kevin Ankrom in the role and will begin in an official capacity from 10 April.
His message to rebuilding the reputation of the sport is simple.
"Communication, transparency and integrity will all be absolutely critical," he says.
"High performance athletes are asked to have faith in systems, the people and the processes that are in place and will be put in place.
"Success at a very high level is attainable. It has been achieved by Irish athletes before and will be achieved by Irish athletes again.
"As the director, I'd like to have open communication with athletes and coaches. Getting out there and meeting people will be critical to success in the role.
"Guys who know me and know what I've done previously, will know there's an immense work ethic. There is an athlete sensitive approach.
"There is an integrity and there is a commitment to our sport. Guys who don't know me, will have to take it on faith that these are the values I'm going to bring to the role."

The first batch of Muslims on the Hajj Pilgrimage from Ghana was airlifted Friday evening to the holy land of Mecca.
It comes as a huge relief to the Hajj Board and the government following a setback on Thursday leading to the cancellation of the original flight.
The frustrated pilgrims were full of smiles when the Lion Air plane touched down at the Tamale International Airport around 6.40pm. They left Ghana to Saudi Arabia at 10 pm.
Vice president Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia who has been in Tamale this week to ensure a successful Hajj take off thanked the pilgrims for their patience.
He wished them a "successful religious exercise" in Mecca.
Dr. Bawumia assured that despite the delay "the schedule will continue and we will ensure that no one at the end of the day will be left behind. Everybody will get to go."

Ephesians 5:15-16
Be very careful, then, how you live – not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
John 13: 1-5; 12-17
It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.
The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus. Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel round his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped round him....
...When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. 'Do you understand what I have done for you?' he asked them. 'You call me "Teacher" and "Lord", and rightly so, for that is what I am. Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.
Today is traditionally known as Maundy Thursday in the Christian calendar. It is a time when we reflect on Jesus' incredible example of servanthood as He stooped down and washed the disciples' feet. The Lord of all creation humbled Himself to the most menial of duties, demonstrating His love, not just to those who reciprocated His affection, but even to Judas who would soon betray Him.
As we think this week about sharing our world, one of the most powerful ways of showing Jesus' love to others is to follow His example of serving others. While this will most likely not involve washing their feet, it could be as simple as bringing in your neighbour's bin each week or offering to babysit for a busy family. If we look for them, we will discover that there are many opportunities to serve people everywhere we go, each day of the week. Small acts of kindness can make a big difference. As someone once said, "People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care."
In Ephesians 5 Paul encourages us to make the most of every opportunity "because the days are evil." In a society where people generally look after themselves and their own interests, real servanthood is so radically counter-cultural that it will provoke questions and increase openness in others to the good news of Jesus. It is also an act of simple obedience, as we follow Jesus' admonition: "…you should do as I have done for you." (v. 15)
Be attentive to opportunities to humbly serve other people wherever you find yourself today. Serving your world is a great way of sharing your world.

Review on Diodata
Diodata is the name of the man who opened the first coffee house in Vienna in the 17th century. It is in keeping with this tradition, that the Diodata in Berlin-Schöneberg serves classic Austrian and Viennese coffee house specialities. In the centre of the Schöneberg district, the celebrated and well established Austrian culinary pioneer is given a contemporary twist. Specialities of the house are veal sausages and sugared pancakes with raisins. On the menu you will also see for example, Viennese breaded fried chicken, cottage style speciality noodles, or cottage cheese with ham. Fans of Austrian tasty treats will always be well catered for here. Quality is of the upmost importance in the Diodata in Goltzstraße and it is for this reason that all of the meat used is reared only in the local farmlands, in order to ensure quality.Rate this Restaurant

Almond pear cake
I tore this recipe out of a magazine a few years ago. The increasingly tattered page has been stuck to the side of not one, but two fridges (the one in our Vancouver apartment, and then at our house in Victoria), and now it has earned a place of honour in the pine recipe box my grandfather made for me when I was about 15.
I made the cake early in December with some D'Anjou pears that took forever to ripen, and then got too ripe too quickly. It was amazing that such an elegant and delicious cake could emerge from those pears, which were mottled with brown spots and mushy parts. I planned to serve it for a dinner we were having with an old friend until I remembered his nut allergy, so I put it in the freezer and then brought it out on Christmas morning to munch on as "pre-breakfast" while we opened gifts.
Last summer we pre-ordered two pear trees from Fruit Trees and More, a nursery in North Saanich (a truly inspiring place that deserves a post all on its own). This weekend's project is to prepare space for them in our yard, so it seems like a fitting time to share the recipe for this lovely cake. It is perfect in so many ways: gluten free, so easy to make, stores well in the freezer, and it's a little bit healthier than the average dessert thanks to almond meal and the fruit. I hope in a few years once our new pear trees are established that I'll be able to go on a baking frenzy like I've done in the past the harvest from our other fruit trees, which gave us delicious plum cakes and apple pies.
Almond pear cake (adapted from Style at Home's recipe for Almond Pear Tart)
Makes 1 cake (6-8 servings)
1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1-1/3 cups almond meal
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
Zest of 2 lemons
3 pears, peeled, cored and sliced
Raw sugar and cinnamon for dusting
Plain yogurt for serving
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly grease a round springform pan. Cream the butter and sugar in a mix master until just combined. Add the eggs, almond meal, flour, baking powder and lemon zest and process until all the ingredients are just incorporated. Spoon the mixture into the springform pan. Arrange the pears on top of the tart mixture and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the tart comes out clean. Sprinkle the tart with the raw sugar and cinnamon and allow to cool in the pan. Serve with yogurt.
Scenes from the berry patch
A tiny bounty of berries is growing in our garden right now. It is the first year for the strawberries, blueberries and raspberries we planted, so I am happy to have anything at all.
The tally so far: about 40-50 raspberries, maybe a dozen strawberries (and counting since there are still a few flowers and white berries), and six blueberries. A modest harvest to be sure, but it has thrilled me to bits to be able to take our little guy out to the garden every day and pick a berry or two to go along with his cereal.
I have fond memories of picking berries (and other good things) from the gardens of my childhood and I hope our garden can be the same source of happiness for our son as he grows up. I also love the picture I have in my head of my now three-year-old nephew running out to the yard when he was just over a year old to pick berries from the raspberry patch. It was amazing to see such a little guy so tuned into the good stuff growing in the yard.
Casey will be a year-and-a-half-old next summer, so I wanted to get our berry patch planted this year so we have a chance of keeping up with demand. One thing I know about this kid is that he's an eater… I'm sure no berry will be left behind next year!
Strawberries are his hands-down favourite right now. He loves to hold them by the stem and suck on the berry until there is nothing left but a white core and leaves. Who says you need teeth to eat?
Long weekend waffles (vegan, gluten-free)
New to my herb garden this year is a small pot of chocolate mint. It smells divine, as the name suggests, and it has been tempting me in the kitchen. Waffles were the first thing that came to mind. Waffles topped with a chocolate mint-spiked berry salad. Served with piping hot mint tea. Served with bourbon maple syrup – a gift from a friend that has been waiting patiently for an occasion like this – long weekend waffles.
More and more I am trying to move away eating animal products, especially with things that are so easy to make vegan – like waffles. I am not sure I will ever become a vegan – I still love things like fish and chips and mac and cheese too much. But where there is no sacrifice in taste I am all for change.
Smoke alarms have been ringing in our apartment building all weekend. Always in the morning, from about 9:30 to 11. People are cooking bacon. Which is fine. I know: people like bacon. I accept that people will always eat bacon, and I understand. I am as far away from eating bacon as I have ever been, but I get it – we all love our leisurely breakfast traditions.
Mine are flexible and changing to fit new values. Adapting old recipes into new vegan ones is a fun and satisfying challenge, and these waffles are actually much better than the ones I used to make with dairy and eggs. Almond milk and flour are nutty, coconut oil is delicious in anything, and flax eggs are amazing in this recipe. Just like the chocolate mint: so much better than the original.
Waffles with mint-spiked berry salad (vegan & gluten-free)
Makes 6 waffles
3/4 cup almond milk
2 tablespoons melted coconut oil (or vegan butter)
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 flax eggs (combine 3 tablespoons flaxseed meal with 6 tablespoons hot water; let sit for 5 minutes)
1 cup gluten-free flour (Cup4Cup or Bob's Red Mill)
1/4 cup almond meal
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon cane sugar
pinch of salt
grated zest of 1 orange
Berry salad
2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, etc)
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint (I highly recommend growing your own and trying chocolate mint!)
Preheat waffle iron. Combine almond milk, melted oil or butter, vanilla, and flax eggs in a bowl. Mix together remaining ingredients in a separate bowl and stir. Add dry ingredients to almond milk mixture and stir until they make a batter. Spoon batter onto waffle iron and cook until waffles are golden and crispy. Mix berry salad ingredients together and serve with waffles and maple syrup. Any leftover waffles are good the next day heated up in the toaster oven.
White bean, chard and beet salad (and what do you think about #vb6?)
Have you heard about VB6 yet? It's new to me since reading an article in the Georgia Straight this week and I have to say that I think you're all about to become vegans. Part-time vegans, anyways.
VB6 is short for "Vegan Before 6," a diet / catchphrase coined by New York Times food writer and cookbook author Mark Bittman. The idea is to eat a plant-based diet during the day, and then after 6pm you're free to eat what you like – meat, eggs, dairy, junk food, whatever you want. "All the benefits of a strict diet without the deprivation," he says on his website.
I think it's great. I'm much more a fan of moderate solutions like this, and like Meatless Monday, that promote modest, incremental shifts in our habits and mindsets that lead to actual change. So much better than the usual diet narrative of no this, no that. It's yes to plants all day, and then yes to whatever you want at night. And if you cheat, that's fine. Actually, that's the point: you're supposed to cheat.
I'm curious to see if the movement catches on. I think it will. I really agree with the woman in the Georgia Straight article who says this: "Something magical happens when people start down the path of a plant-based diet. They start asking what's in their food. They begin being concerned with the ingredients, quality, the source, the cost to the environment, and the toll it takes on animals."
I know, you're thinking, no way, not me, never. Vegan food is gross – too much quinoa and kale and hippie-dippy nonsense. Meat4ever.
But watch, as soon as you start thinking about what you're eating – whether it's an animal or a plant – I bet you'll notice yourself leaning a tiny bit toward the plants. That's what happened to me, and now I eat things like white bean, chart and beet salads all the time. With edible flowers on top.
Those plants…they're a slippery slope!
White bean, baby chard and beet salad
Makes 1 salad
This salad was inspired by the beautiful baby chard from Vancouver's Local Garden. You could also substitute spinach or baby beet greens or any other type of lettuce from your fridge or garden.
Pile 1-2 cups of chard leaves on a plate. I also added a few pea shoots, arugula, mint and Asian greens from my garden. Drain and rinse a can of white beans and sprinkle 1/2 cup of them on top of the salad (reserve the rest for something else). Top with 1/2 cup diced roasted beets and 1 tablespoon of toasted nuts or seeds (I used pumpkin seeds). Drizzle with a balsamic or raspberry vinagrette, and don't forget the flowers! If you're eating vegan, you might as well go for it. Nasturtiums, violets, pansies, roses and all sorts of other flowers can all go on salads – mine has (had) arugula blooms on top.
Windowsill gardening
One of my most successful gardening endeavours this year is happening indoors. I've grown several pots of basil from seed on the window sill of my studio this summer and the plants are doing so well in their few inches of sun.
It's such a satisfying thing to grow a plant from a seed. The ritual of tending to plants brings me endless peace, and basil brings an extra reward. When I water the plants in the morning I brush up against the leaves and experience the earthy summer smell of basil – it's an amazing signal to my brain to wake up and enjoy the day.
End of summer garden
This weekend feels like the end of summer. The weather is still warm, but it is changing, as is the light, which is thinner now and less intense. Shadows are more pronounced and I see them invading sunny places earlier in the day. I don't mind – there is something beautiful about the dance of tree leaves in the shade.
The plants of summer are still growing – yellow impatiens, a pot of blue forget-me-nots grown from seed that are just catching their stride, green tomatoes, mint, oregano and chives – but they're slowing down. Two strawberry plants joined the garden this year and I'm pleased about that: from what I've seen in other people's yards, they don't wither away in the cold. I'm hoping the Asian greens will stay with me, too, if I don't eat through them before winter arrives. Gai lan (Chinese broccoli) is the one below with the beautiful white flowers.
I'm looking forward to spending the afternoon outside on the patio in my wicker lounger chair saying farewell to summer and enjoying the beginning of fall. Next weekend I'll find a garden store so I can plant kale, chrysanthemums, and winter pansies.
Green tomato season
It's that time of year again. Green tomatoes on the windowsill time. Do you have them lined up on your windows, too?
At lunch today I did what I often do, which is to walk from my corporate office job down to the beautiful beach. I sat down on a bench on the seawall, and after about 10 minutes I was too hot. I got up and walked a few minutes further and settled myself against a piece of driftwood on the beach proper, near the water. Much better. My sandwich and I were quite happy to have such a wonderful problem.
It is downright chilly in the morning and the night now that mid-September has arrived, and I think this is the last hurrah for my tomato plants. I've done all right this year – a steady harvest of two or three cherry tomatoes every day for the last month, and I have another tomato plant with larger fruit that occasionally produces a tomato worth slicing.
I am beginning to wonder about the green tomatoes hanging on the plants. The minute I see a tinge of yellow, they are whisked inside where they can finish ripening in the warm, sunny window of my studio and not draw away any energy from the other tomatoes on the plant that still need more time. This is working well so far, but I am a little sad watching new tomato nubbins just beginning to form. I don't think they're going to have the chance to meet my sandwich or go to the beach.


text: This essay traces shifts in meditative practice from Saint Ignatius of Loyola's Spiritual Exercises to the experimental philosopher Robert Boyle's Occasional Reflections, showing how Boyle's text participates in the evolution of the concept of "attention" as it changes from a spiritual ideal to a mental faculty. In the Spiritual Exercises, attention is an experience that is not independent of the spiritual ideal of attending to God but rather a sign and trace of the latter. Boyle sought to relax the strict regime of earlier meditations by offering a new recipe: his reformed program of "occasional meditation" entails surrendering to attention's "natural vagrancy" rather than resisting it. By allowing experiences that would have formerly counted as distractions to be acts of devotion, Boyle participated in the creation of a new psychological notion of attention.

A little late (thanks to Deadspace1 for the heads up) but earlier this week a post over at White Dwarf Daily by Dan Harden actually showcased some of my miniatures. And this is actually the second time I'm on the daily, last time they showed my Chaos Warriors and now it was some of my Empire mini's. Always fun that people seem to like what I've done with my armies and wants to show them for even more people.
Now I'm just hoping to maybe have something showed in the actual White Dwarf magazine as well :D If someone is wondering Dan found the pictures of my miniatures via their Flickr group, and then contacted me and asked if I could take a little better photos of what I had and send them to him. And of course I did just that and also got some tips about how to take better quality photos (and I'm still learning this). So for anyone who also want to have their minis showcased either on the Daily or maybe even the proper WD magazine upload your photos to flickr and join the GW group.

To all those guitar lovers out there…it is time to check out charvel guitars at Musician's Friend and for all those people that know guitar lovers…then this would make for an amazing gift for them. Why not get a really nice brand of guitar for that person because you know that they would absolutely love it. Guitars are totally addictive and this one is a great one to add to your collection. People that play guitars always welcome a new one in their guitar family.

There are so many great guitars out there and my husband who plays the guitar wants them all! LOL He wants everything from a classic Fender to a musiciansfriend.com squir strat tremolo. Every guitar has it's own personality and own sound. If he had room he would already have so many more than what he has. Personally, I think 2 is enough – electric and acoustic. That is enough when you don't have room to put them!

You just never know when you will need life insurance. And you hope that it will never happen to you but you just never know. Everyone thinks that it will not happen to them but it is happening to someone out there so better to be prepared just in case. I know that my cousin is going through this with her pregnancy problems and how everything turned out with her daughter. It is just a mess and her thing is that she doesn't think she should have to pay for her medical bills because of their negligence. It is actually a long story but I side with her on this one even though in many if not all other cases she is a complete fool…lol.

There are so many great deals online if you are looking to get an instrument for you or your children. When you get instruments for your children you want to make sure that you get a good one but obviously you don't want to get one that is going to break the bank because they may or may not like it or stick with it. But if you don't get a quality instrument then they may not like it because it is an inferior product.

I don't know about you but I just love my dog. She is just a sweetheart and she is part of this family. I make sure that if she were to need a vet then she would get the best of care. And sometimes your pet may need that medicine. And if they need regular medicine then wouldn't it make sense to just get it online. I know that I do all of my shopping online because it is so convenient. Sure i have to go out and get things here and there but if you work then you know that time is valuable!

So, am I going to cave and get my husband a new guitar…perhaps get him a prs bernie marsden. He would love to have a new electric guitar as he is starting to really play again which is kind of nice again. I really do like hearing him play. And I know that it would make for a fabulous gift and I very rarely get him really nice gifts that he actually wants and would like and even would be really surprised that I got it!

If you have a child that would like to play the drums that may not be the instrument that you wanted. However you are not going to go out and get a huge and every expensive drum set. You should first get them a drum pad machine from musicians friend. It takes up less room, it is a great way to practice on something and you can control the volume which is the best part about this especially if they like to practice later at night.

My niece wanted a green music stand and I found one and she just loved it. She plays the flute and her room is green and she just wanted something that would mate her room rather than the boring black or the silver music stands that many of her friends have. Why not get her something different!

My anniversary is coming up and we usually go out to eat but we don't exchange gifts. But we always exchange cards and sometimes we put little things in the cards. My husband plays the guitar and he has been starting to play again after taking a long break simply because he just didn't have the time. So I figured it would be a cute idea to put some clayton guitar picks at guitar center in the card because you can never have too many picks!

Do you even know what an mf is? If you are a musician you may but if you are a guitarist then you probably most certainly do. And the thing with guitarist is that they play a wide variety of music. I know a classical guitarist and he can play jazz equally as well but if you want him to just screw around on the electric guitar in a band he is amazing. A good guitar player can do this will no problem at all. That is why the guitar is the coolest instrument out there in my opinion.

When you get into playing instruments and you really start enjoying it you suddenly find more and more things to get. And if you play the guitar then you know that the list just goes on and on. You have the great amps, the cords, the picks, the brands of guitars and then you have the mixing boards and the mastering software……and it goes on and on. And it can be a lot of fun but it can be quite costly if you don't know where to shop. Sometimes the accessories that you buy can make your playing sound that much better too!

Instruments are a big part of my family and I have taken many music lessons over the years for a variety of instruments. But I have found that there are certain instruments that you can get quite addicted to meaning that you can never have just one. My husband is like that. He loves guitars and there are so many brands out there and so many kinds as well everything from an acoustic to fender american p bass. And get them online, don't even have to leave the house to order.

Who can afford much of anything these days in the economy that we are in….I am finding myself buying more and more used things that are in really good condition everything fromused wheels to clothing. I just can not personally afford to get all new things all of the time as most people can not. Consignment stores are going to find that they are the business of the year. If you are thinking of starting any sort of business you may actually want to consider something like this – even if it is just on ebay!

When it comes to planning that exciting bachelorette party you don't want to just do the usual stuff people do. Why not find ideas for bachelorette party that are going to truly be not only super fun but really rememberable. This is a great way for girls together to have fun. And sometimes it is even more fun for the friends because they may already be married with kids and a night out with the girls is always a welcomed treat that comes few and far between!

And you can get accessories that are made specifically for your car. Everyone knows that car lover in their life….I think there is one in every family. My dad loves cars and he has always taken extremely good car of all the cars he has had throughout the years. And he is big into the accessories…buying the cars at a reasonable price and then making them looking like a million dollors…sort of speak 🙂

I love going to local play productions but they always seem to lack things like lighting and different effects. You can go online to different sites like musiciansfriend.com to not only find instruments but also things like sage lighting and sound systems to better help any productions whether it is instrumental or a play that a school maybe putting on for the parents and town. Sometimes the little things like sound and lighting can make a lot of difference in a show.

There is nothing better classical guitars. They are great to play but they are even better to listen too. It is just so relaxing to be able to listen to a live classical guitarist. And it is very romantic as well. And guitar is a great instrument to learn because you can play so many styles of music on it and it will sound great – everything from rock to jazz to classical. And if you have a child then you should definitely start them on this instrument.

Some of my best summer memories were making up and playing games on he swing set.

Well, the graduation season is almost upon us again which means you have to find that great gift that will be timeless. So, why not get that great Movado bold watch. A watch makes for a great gift. My parents got me a beautiful watch when I graduation college and I still have it and it still works and I still wear it despite the fact that I have a cell phone. A cell phone is not a watch. A watch can be a great accessory and a beautiful piece of jewelry!

I don't know about you but the most expensive thing about my wedding was the photographer. It was even more expensive than the dress and the venue because we did not have that many people attend. The photographer was horrible besides! I think I took better candid pictures that this guy did and he charged us a small fortune. I wish I would have done a little research because there are much better places out there like Azul wedding photography that would have done a hell of a better job than my guy!

My husband plays the guitar and he has a Gibson guitars – a Les Paul. He also has a fender and a classical guitar since he is trained in classical guitar. But he loves to play the classics and the pop music even though I prefer the classical. We got a pink fender for my niece but she really had no interest in learning the guitar. But I have a friend that recently became interested in learning the guitar so, we let her borrow the pink fender. So far she is really enjoying it. I personally would love to learn how to play the guitar and there are guitars here but I need a left handed guitar. I started to learn years ago but the teacher insisted that I learn with the right hand which is ridiculous and I just go so discouraged and turned off by the whole thing that I never tried again. Maybe it is time to pick it up again and see what I can do with it.
I think that 90% of boys think about learning how to play that guitar – and there are lots of programs out there today that can teach you the basics. But the first thing to get is the guitar and you need to get a good guitar. The kind of instrument that you get can make all the difference in the world – the better it plays…they better you will sound and the more you will like it.

I am a big fan of classical music. I just love to listen to it. It is relaxing and enjoyable. I like the light pop music don't get me wrong but I thin that more people should be exposed to the beauty of classical music. I don't think that people truly appreciate it because they never really have experienced it in a way that would make that enjoy and just love it. Perhaps going to the live orchestra concert or an opera would change your mind. You would be surprised how many people realized the beauty of classical music after years of not listening to it. And it is just fun to dress up to go to a classical concert…so many designer shoes and replica designer handbags in your closets to choose from!

My good friend went to medical assistant school and she just loves her career. I think that people should really go into a career that they are truly going to like. Why in the world would you want to go to school and spend all the money for a career that you do not like…a career that you will have to do for decades in some cases. If you are interested in the medical field this just may be the career path you will enjoy.

The Radical 30 is exactly what it says, radical. The design and materials used are cutting edge and unlike anything else you're likely to come across. The use of Dyneema composite fabrics give the bag huge strength and durability whilst reducing the weight massively. With a unique style and super low weight you'd be forgiven for thinking this bag might lack any practical features but this awesome pack manages to tick all the boxes.
Ferrino says:
Extraordinarily lightweight and durable mountaineering backpack, fast compression system with Dyneema pull-cord.
Ferrino's Radical 30L certainly stands out from the crowd in many ways. With the extensive use of Dyneema composite fabric you get high strength, durability and super light weight meaning that this pack is able to reduce it's overall weight drastically compared to its competitors. However, the look of this fabric will put some off as it can't be coloured and has a crinkled, plastic look and feel to it. It's not all made from Dyneema so the back and shoulder straps are highly breathable so the pack is great to wear even on those long uphill climbs.
The pack has a lid with a large top pocket that opens with a protected zip while the main body of the pack closes witha simple draw cord and toggle. There are numerous gear loops, straps and additional storage points on the outside of the pack which includes pole attachments. The pack also has a compression system with cords that can be pulled from the hip belt that tighten up the pack down both sides. If you can get over the look and feel of the see-through Dyneema fabric this is an unbelievably light pack for its size and its is very usable.

A Man Who Loved His Work
The term "I love my work!" is a delight to hear in modern times—when so many workers don't. As a catchphrase, it turns up in varied contexts. For example, it was uttered by Porthos the Pirate in a particularly funny action scene in the 1992 film version of The Three Musketeers.
One (all too) true-life figure who professed to love his work was Jack the Ripper. In a euphoric, taunting note to London police, he bragged, "I love my work and want to start again. You will soon hear of me and my funny little games." The Ripper seemed to approach his serial savagery as a profession. In other notes to police, he often stated his eagerness to return "to work."
More than a century later, armchair sleuths continue to probe and debate the identity of one of history's most infamous "workers."

A Treasury in Heaven: The Exegesis of Proverbs 10:2 in the Second Temple Period
The notion of a "treasury in heaven" becomes highly significant in Second Temple Judaism and early Christianity. A casual reading of the sources might suggest that it was a free creation of the author of Tobit or Sirach, but closer inspection reveals its origins in an exegesis of Prov 10:2 (cf. 11:4). Not only is the term itself derivable from this verse but its literary and theological function as well. In Sir 29:12 (cf. 5:8), Tob 4:7–10, En. 63:10 and Luke 12:16–21 the phrase is used to reveal the fact that all earthly wealth is perishable, only treasuries funded by charity can deliver one from calamity or death.

At least 32 people were killed after a massive 8.1 magnitude earthquake, one of the biggest recorded in Mexico, struck off the country's southern coast late on Thursday, causing cracks in buildings and triggering a small tsunami, authorities said.
A number of buildings suffered severe damage in parts of southern Mexico. Some of the worst initial reports came from the town of Juchitan in Oaxaca state, where sections of the town hall, a hotel, a bar and other buildings were reduced to rubble.
Alejandro Murat, the state governor, said 23 deaths were registered in Oaxaca, 17 of them in Juchitan.
A spokesman for emergency services said seven people were also confirmed dead in the neighboring state of Chiapas. Earlier, the governor of Tabasco, Arturo Nunez, said two children had died in his state.
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said the 8.1 magnitude quake had its epicenter in the Pacific Ocean, 54 miles (87 km) southwest of the town of Pijijiapan in the impoverished southern state of Chiapas, at a depth of 43 miles.
The earthquake caused damage as far away as Mexico City and Guatemala. Tremors were reportedly felt as far away as Austin, Texas – more than 1,300 miles from the epicentre.

Talk:Raven Shaman's Power Source
This is a difficult to do solo but totally doable, just did it with my lvl 71 engineer only having to WP once.

Missing NPC?[edit]
I don't know if this Hero challenge has changed recently, I don't recall reading about it.. but the npc was not there and the way was open for the commune. My only other suspicion is that perhaps another player defeated her and exited a minute before my arrival? Puk (talk) 09:15, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
- The event is often completed (due to its proximity to the challenge) and has a cooldown so it's very likely that she was defeated some time before you came. —Ventriloquist 10:10, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

But work related stress lead to my level becoming high at 190 now though I do not face any specific difficulties. Body pain yes I have may be excessive driving I thought. Have never gone for any check up of sorts all these years. But now concerned a bit. There are two medicines with Himalays one is Diabecon DS and the other one Guduchi (in hindi). Which is better.

The Strangelove Effect: How We are Hoodwinked into Accepting a New World War• http://www.globalresearch.ca, By John Pilger
President Merkin Muffley: "I will not go down in history as the greatest mass-murderer since Adolf Hitler."
General Turgidson: "Perhaps it might be better, Mr. President, if you were more concerned with the American people than with your image in the history books."
The genius of Stanley Kubrick's film is that it accurately represents the cold war's lunacy and dangers. Most of the characters are based on real people and real maniacs. There is no equivalent to Strangelove today, because popular culture is directed almost entirely at our interior lives, as if identity is the moral zeitgeist and true satire is redundant; yet the dangers are the same.

'Copyright Archives of the Duke of Northumberland'.
The officer chosen to deliver the Waterloo Dispatch to London after Waterloo was Major the Hon. Henry Percy, a tall, dark, handsome and charming aide de camp to the Duke of Wellington. Despite a grand pedigree – he was an old Etonian, the son of the Earl of Beverley and the grandson of the Duke of Northumberland – surprisingly little is known about Percy, but here are some of the recorded facts:

AVB's interview this afternoon carried an air of confidence and a commitment to new ideas and progression for the club. The focus was on building from the strong foundations and taking us to the next level, something that even the most loyal Harry fan would have to admit was outside of Redknapp's abilities.
The strongest evidence of what an impression AVB's earlier interview gave is evident in the media's reporting of the Press Conference. So quick to write off the Portuguese prodigy on appointment, Spurs fans knew that there would be a likely struggle to get the media on side, but the majority of news headlines appear to be positive, with many journalists backing down on their pre-conceptions to admit that the man has a plan.
Not only the media but the players seem fully behind Villas-Boas with Rose, Caulker, Vertonghen, Friedel and Sigurdsson all delivering public praise. Some would say this is to be expected as they try to get on the managers good side for their future benefit but all comments seem genuine with a realm desire to do well under AVB's guidance.
There will of course be those in the squad that preferred Harry's methods, such as Parker, Gallas, Van Der Vaart and Livermore, but none seem likely to kick up the fuss that Terry, Lampard and Co did at Chelsea. If they did, I have no doubt AVB would have no hesitation in getting rid, and I have to say that despite these players performing impressively in their spells at the club, all are replaceable by players of equal or better ability.
And then there's the players we're now being linked with. Lloris. Moutinho. Oscar. Adebayor. Damiao. These are top class players, players we could only have dreamed of signing previously but all realistic targets now with the pull of a well respected, globally recognised manager.
AVB will always have his sceptics, but all signs point towards progression, and a brighter future. Could we ask for much more?

BANISHED, EXPELLED. And, by the way, Jason Giambi: That $120 million contract you pumped yourself full of steroids to secure? It's now null and void.
That's what the commissioner of baseball ought to declare for the Yankees' steroid-slugging slugger.
Sorry, son. Hope your pituitary tumor gets better. Health is far more important than home runs, especially if the homers came courtesy of human growth hormone and other forms of muscle-popping, body-damaging steroids.
Needles in the buttocks, cream on the legs, drops on the tongue: It's a wonder Giambi doesn't have mysterious appendages where there shouldn't be appendages.

11 Facts About Heat Waves
Welcome to DoSomething.org, a global movement of 6 million young people making positive change, online and off! The 11 facts you want are below, and the sources for the facts are at the very bottom of the page. After you learn something, Do Something! Find out how to take action here.
- A heat wave is a prolonged period of excessive heat, often combined with excessive humidity.
- Excessive heat is determined by Heat Index Values. The heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature.
- Summers in North America are hot, meaning most parts of the US experience heat waves during the summer. The region east of the Rockies tend feel heat waves with high temperature and humidity.
- If your pet stays outdoors during extreme heat, make sure they have cold water and an area out of the sun where they can cool off. For pets, spending time in a hot car can be super dangerous. Hang signs to remind pet owners not to leave their furry friends in hot cars. Sign up for Hot Dogs.
- Extreme heat can cause cramps, swelling, and fainting.
- Heat waves kill more Americans than other natural disasters such as floods, lightning, tornadoes, and hurricanes.
- Young children and adults over the age of 65 are most likely to experience heat exhaustion or other heat-related illness.
- In July 1995, Chicago, Illinois experienced a heat wave that caused over 700 deaths. Scientists predict that the Midwest could endure similar heat waves up to 3 times a year by 2100 if greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase.
- Urban areas often experience higher temperatures during the summer, referred to as "Urban Heat Island." This is due to buildings, roads, and other infrastructures absorbing solar energy, resulting in higher temperatures.
- Heat waves can cause blackouts and power outages, especially in areas that experience the urban heat island effect.
- To stay hydrated during a heat wave, drink plenty of water and eat a salty snack to help replace the salt the body loses when it sweats.

A novel Depth From Defocus (DFD) measurement system is has been developed. Here the extension of the measurement range is performed using an emergent technology based on liquid lenses. A suitable set of different focal lengths, obtained by properly changing the liquid lens supply voltage, provides multiple camera settings without duplicating the system elements or using moving parts.
A simple and compact setup, with a single camera/illuminator coaxial assembly is obtained. The measurement is based on an active DFD technique using modulation measurement profilometry(MMP) for the estimation of the contrast at each image point as a function of the depth range.
A suitable combination of multiple contrast curves, each one derived at a specific focal length, is proposed to extend the measurement range and to improve the measurement performances with respect to the state of the art.
The system measurement errors are 0.53 mm over an extended measurement depth range of 135 mm, corresponding to 0.39 % of the depth range, resulting in an improved performance with respect to the state of the art DFD systems, for which typical values are in the 0.7-1.6 % of the depth range.

I'm in a rather contemplative mood at the moment. I suppose I'm always kind of in a contemplative mood at some level, given my perhaps overdeveloped self-awareness (and/or self-consciousness), but tonight it's especially palpable. And for good reason: touched off by a vague feeling of dissatisfaction (whether valid or not) with my life's accomplishments – personal and professional – thus far, I started thinking more deeply about my past and what's led me to this point in my present.
Somehow, that wound up with me looking back at old text files on my computer, files with scraps of writing and poetry of mine from as far back as 1996… half-finished book ideas, paragraphs of introduction to stories that never got the attention they deserved, lines of verse of varying quality but with relatively consistent themes… even files that contain nothing but a single sentence – or even just a title – that nevertheless managed to convey (to my own brain, at least) where I wanted to go from there.
I know what you're thinking (you anonymous reader, you). You're thinking that my little foray into the depths of my hard drive has me regretting all those ideas that I never went anywhere with, that I'm wistfully wondering why I even then, 12 years ago or more, could seemingly never start something and finish it. And you'd be partially right. Especially in light of my recent posts on the concept of failure – and reflecting Natasha's spot-on comment about "inertia" – I do feel a bit like a broken record that keeps going over the same groove but never gets anywhere worthwhile.
That's not really it, though, or not all of it. I enjoyed reading what I wrote back then, after all, and if I start to ask myself why I didn't continue with some of it, I just tell myself, truthfully, that I wasn't ready to, that they were great ideas but ones that I – in all honesty – probably didn't know how to fully give life to at the time, that today I have more of the skills and knowledge and experience to convincingly translate those ideas into "reality." I can still take those ideas and run with them, so to speak.
The real problem is that in reading through my past writings, seeing those ideas again brought to light and interpreting them through the lens of my mind of today, I wonder not so much why I didn't do more with them when I first thought of them… I wonder, instead, where I've been since then. Where'd the "me" who wrote those book ideas and introductory paragraphs and lines of verse and story titles go? Why haven't I looked at them before now and – perhaps more importantly – why did so many of them seem so new? Why – for a person who always prided himself on his imagination and his sense of fantasy and wonder – do they all seem so far away, like ancient history?
Have I really let myself become so absorbed in the inanity of the present – the rat race of everyday reality and the focus on all the pointless minutiae of modern society – that I forgot about all those worlds and stories and characters of my childhood and early teenaged imaginings? How did my mind get so clouded by a daily routine that I lost sight of the fantasies within, the ones that – when I was younger – mattered more to me than anything?
When did I lose my way?

Unless the glass is treated to block UV rays, any large area of glass will bring sunlight, heat, and air into your home. Patio doors are particularly vulnerable in this regard. Installing a sun/wind shield at patio doors will make your home more comfortable, protect your furnishings from fading, provide additional home security, and reduce your heating and cooling costs by making your home more energy efficient. Several types of sun/wind shields are available, including models that retract at the touch of a button. These shields will help to keep out wind and sun, making your home more comfortable. Many models can be installed by most do-it-yourselfers.

Big games take a long time to make and markets change fast. Finding projects that are creatively satisfying, intellectually honest and authentic, but also have commercial potential, is no easy task. Rebekah and Adam Saltsman of Finji Studios will be joining us to discuss their business heuristics and also some of their personal perspectives on success (or lack thereof).
In the old days, the publishers held all the cards: funding, distribution, marketing, QA, and more. Finji Studios is now part of a diverse ecosystem full of new business models, new distribution models, and new companies. Their approach has been to bootstrap games with a mix of contract work, long-tail revenue from previous projects, and crowd-funding, and a few angel investors. It has a long and complicated path though. Join us and find out how Finji navigates the realities of the indie game world as they strive to produce titles they care about while remaining financially viable.
When: February 1st | 7pm (Doors open at 6pm)
Where: Red River College - A104 |160 Princess Street
Cost: $10
Presenter Bios
Rebekah Saltsman - CO-FOUNDER & CEO
Before relaunching Finji in 2014, Rebekah's career began in media relations before working as a technical writer and product manager in the photography software industry.

Rebekah and her husband (Adam) have published several award-winning indie games including 'Canabalt', 'Hundreds', 'Feist', 'Panoramical', and 'Night in the Woods', and are currently hard at work on 'Overland' (2018) and Andrew Shouldice's 'Tunic' (2019). Rebekah is a co-designer on Overland and manages the console and storefront relationships and initiatives for all of Finji's internal and partner publishing projects. She is a writer, an avid distance runner, and mom to two chaotic boys.

Editor's Note:
Stocks managed a bounce on Friday but we saw a lot of "inside day" type of moves.
These typically suggest indecision by traders.
We've removed SNA. WMT was stopped out.
Current Portfolio:
CALL Play Updates
Citrix Systems - CTXS - close: 80.14 change: +2.09
Stop Loss: 77.75
Target(s): 86.50
Current Option Gain/Loss: -45.5%
Time Frame: 3 to 4 weeks
New Positions: see below
06/23/12 update:
After Thursday's market decline CTXS managed a decent bounce on Friday (+2.6%). Unfortunately, I would not put too much faith in it. Friday's move is an "inside day", which suggests indecision by traders. There is short-term support at $78.00 and the 50-dma but last week's move as a whole looks like a potential failed rally/bearish reversal pattern.
I am not suggesting new positions at this time.

Current Option Gain/Loss: Jul$30c: +22.3% & Aug30c: +17.6%
Time Frame: 3 to 6 weeks
New Positions: see below
06/23/12 update:
Our new USO call trade is off to a pretty good start. The oil ETF gapped higher at $29.57 and rallied to a +2.1% gain on the day. However, I will point out that Friday's move is an "inside day", where it's inside the prior day's range. This suggests indecision by traders. This is an aggressive, higher-risk trade so I would still consider new positions now. More conservative traders may want to wait for the USO to close above short-term resistance at the $31.00 level before considering new positions.
Earlier Comments:
Make no mistake, this is an aggressive trade since we're trying to call a short-term bottom in oil prices here. The commodity could definitely see some strength as we get closer to the EU oil embargo against Iran, which is scheduled to start on July 1st.

Current Option Gain/Loss: Jul $92.50c: +45.4% & Aug $95c: +20.4%
Time Frame: 3 to 6 weeks
New Positions: see below
06/23/12 update:
WFM managed to completely erase Thursday's decline with Friday's +2.2% gain. Yet technically Friday's move is just an "inside day" type of move, which suggest indecision by traders. WFM failed to close above Thursday's high. Essentially Thursday's bearish reversal pattern is still in play and has not been negated yet.
I am concerned that there is a growing chance that we'll get stopped out as WFM drops toward support in the $91-90 zone. I am not suggesting new positions at this time. Readers will want to seriously consider taking profits right now!

Long Jul $92.50 call (WFM1221G92.5) Entry $3.30

Current Option Gain/Loss: Jul45p: +55.5% & Aug45P: +24.1%
Time Frame: 3 to 6 weeks

06/23/12 update:
DECK's oversold bounce on Friday stalled at the $46.00 level. Shares eventually saw its bounce fade to just +0.6%. The trend is down but I'm not suggesting new positions at this time.
Earlier Comments:
This is an aggressive trade because so many investors are already short this stock. The most recent data listed short interest at 26% of the small 36.7 million share float. That does raise the risk of a short squeeze, although DECK hasn't seen a squeeze in a while.
FYI: The Point & Figure chart for DECK is bearish with a $34 target.

06/23/12 update:
I cautioned readers on Thursday that WMT appeared to be reversing lower. The stock underperformed again on Friday and hit our stop loss at $67.40. The next level of support is the $66.00 area but I would not launch new positions there either. WMT will probably need to see a deeper correction before I would jump in again.

I used a silver glitter jelly roll pen on each of the light connections and added some WOS on the lights! For his hat and snow hills I used a glue pen and Hero Arts prisma glitter.
I colored with copics.
Thanks for stopping by and taking a look. I hope you all have a great week!!
My Dad is going to be released from the Care Center tomorrow. He is doing really well, but still a bit unsteady on his feet. His plan and hope is to be able to stay in his home...we will see, he is 94, I don't blame him for wanting to stay in his own home.
On another side note, my husband was in ER three times since last Thursday...kidney stones!! Why do they always flare up in the middle of the night?
The first time it was 2:15 am Thursday morning, then 2:00 am Saturday morning (with NO pain in between that time!). And we were there for 6 hours each time to get his pain under control!
At 4 am Sunday morning, he drove himself to the ER without waking me up!!
He was feeling very guilty about me sitting in squeaky uncomfortable folding chairs in the ER!! He didn't actually go into a room, the ER nurse kept checking on him in the lobby, he had taken two pain pills but was afraid it wouldn't be enough to relieve the pain, but after one hour, his pain was gone, he drove home, climbed into bed and I was none the wiser!!
Yesterday he had a migraine and boy was that bad...this ordeal is not over...side effects with taking pain meds. He is being a trooper though I have to admit!!
Wish me luck!!

Greensboro, N.C.- Simplicity Decor, located at 126 Park Lane in Kirkland, Wash., has been named one of Home Accent Today's 50 Retail Stars for 2009 by editors of the premier trade magazine for the home accents industry.

Dear Maclean,
I was about to run up to see you and Smith but the English Mail not having arrived I cannot well do so. We are in despair at the number of Natives being fed on the East Coast by Haultains account. I hope Smith has got through all his work and can come down without much inconvenience.
I hope and conclude you and Ormond are returned by this.

Worldcrunch's Laurence Devillers penned an insightful article that noted "women must play a core role in the development of all artificial intelligence to avoid a future designed with a male bias."
With AI and Big Data, we try to model behaviors in order to predict them. Used in chatbots on the Internet or embedded in robots to perceive, decide and act, these models often present biases, linked to the choice of data by the engineer. If robots learn on their own from the data they collect unattended, these biases will reflect those of our society.
The roles of women is a prime example of bias. They appear less often than men in movies, in media and academic congresses, and account for far fewer of the world's corporate executives. The shortage of women in information technology and robotics is a particularly sensitive subject: The majority of professionals working for U.S. high-tech giants are white — and male.
If those who teach computers to act like humans are men, robots will reflect men's world view.
Under current circumstances, I'm not sure where we'll find this "core role." Read the full article (in English).

[Opinion] Post Malone "For the culture?" |By: @_Jazziemonroe
Many people have been calling Post Malone "the Donald Trump of Hip-Hop" because things that should have crashed his career have only made it stronger. There has also been rumors that Post Malone has been stealing from the African American Hip Hop Culture.
Why? It's a form of white privilege they say. He's received more attention than his meager talent deserves. It's also been said that he's simply a rich white kid who paid his way into the industry. But, what does Post Malone say about this?
How does he feel about all of these accusations? The rapper admitted that he's still figuring out stardom in the wake of the viral success "White Iverson" met following its initial appearance online in February 2015."This all happened so quick — you wake up and you've got a million views," he said. "I don't know what the hell I'm doing." So, is Post Malone a culture vulture or is he an original? In my eyes I deeply enjoy Post Malone and the quality of his music. His music almost has a child like quality to it and that's what makes his music unique. Let Post Malone live. His music is nothing but a positive attribute to the hip hop community.
