Swimming is recommended at any age because it has good health effects, strengthens the muscles, raises resistance, develops the lungs and teaches us to breathe correctly. Some people practice swimming as a passion, others to get fit, but it`s a fast and efficient method to maintain a good health.
There are a lot of good opinions on the idea of starting swimming from a young age, but before choosing what`s best for our children we must take into consideration some aspects.
Infant swimming benefits
Swimming from a young age can be a good method to create a healthy lifestyle for children because it physically develops their bodies and minds. It teaches them that health has a high priority in their lives and helps them always choose what is best for them. As they start growing up, swimming develops their intelligence and helps them be more self-confident. Spending a lot of time in water kicking, gliding and smacking the water can help their brain create billions of new neurons and also stimulates all the five senses (smell, touch, sound, sight, and taste).
Teaching babies how to swim can promote bonding too, touching them, talking to them, enjoying all the moments that you spend with them.
In water, infants can learn balance and coordination. The motion and sensation of the water give them self-awareness and confidence that is unique. They can develop better the language, as they start taking swimming classes. Repetition and word association is part of the learning process while moving around the pool. Swimming stimulates their appetite and improves sleeping because it engages the whole body.
Infant swimming risks
If you have a home pool, you will spend a lot of time in the pool with the kid, especially in the summertime.You always want your kids to be safe because their health and also yours is very important in all circumstances. You don`t want to expose the little one to dirt, allergens or anything like that.
The water in the pool can be contaminated with any organic material like bird-droppings, dead organisms, even rain that can be infested with fungi. Make sure they are safe while swimming, by regularly cleaning the pool. The most efficient and easy way to do this is to buy a tool that can do it for you. A good pool cleaning gadget can clean all the dirt and trash from your pool. Take your time and choose one that fits your needs best.
For example, the pressure side cleaner uses the water from your pump and filter system to power the cleaner. It runs around the pool and pulls in its filter all the garbage found, it has low maintenance, it`s easy to use and can collect a large amount of debris.
Or you can choose a robotic pool cleaner that doesn`t use the pool pumping system. It uses a low voltage transformer and it has its own motor to drive the wheels and its own pump to lift the dirt off the ground into the filter basket.
These gadgets have different prices and features, and it`s recommended to ask a specialist`s opinion and choose a proper one for your pool dimensions and filter system.
Facts to consider
It`s essential to pack all the things you will need when you leave the house. A warm bottle in case of bottle feeding, clean towels, and you might also need a few toys to create a relaxing and fun atmosphere. Never let infants out of your arm's reach while playing in the water, as it`s important to be careful with your moves and not lose them from your sight.
If you want to start teaching an infant to swim and choose a pool that is not yours, ask the pool attendant if the water contains chlorine. Try to avoid any perfumes or lotions that they can smell or swallow or can be harmful in any way for children.
Be very careful with the temperature of the pool, make sure it is warm enough, and keep moving. If the infant is under 1 year old it`s very important to stay no longer than 30 minutes in water.
Don`t forget sun protection. It`s recommended to ask a pediatrician what sunscreen is better for children, especially if they`re under six months old because the sun can be very harmful. Don`t go swimming if it`s too hot, it could be dangerous for you and the baby too.

Local retailers often have free craft project pamphlets. When you are in a craft store, make sure to seek these informational pamphlets. Look for them on hooks around your eye level. The supplies should be in the same vicinity as the pamphlet.
Buy model car kits which are age appropriate for your kids. The snap-together models work well for younger children; the rigors of gluing and painting small pieces together are better for middle or high schoolers.

CASE 175 - Cryptocracy & symbolism
Occult symbols, numbers and rituals are everywhere. Satanic music, movies, books, television 'programming' and cartoons are the norm. Virtually every corporate logo includes an occult symbol dating back to the Egyptian and Babylonian Mystery Schools. Our modern language was designed in the 17th century by Rosicrucian Francis Bacon and other illuminati with a subterranean code called 'twilight language' (number coincidences, name games, initiatory codes) that is used esoterically to communicate between initiates of high masonry and exoterically to control the goyim. The new world order symbols are the pyramid, the all seeing eye, the two headed eagle, the snake, 666, the devil horns, the obelisk, the dome, the five pointed star, the six pointed star, the skull and crossbones and most importantly, the sunrise signifying The Dawn of a New Day (world communism).
The Black Nobility elite bloodline families claim descent from the Egyptian Pharaohs. The Merovingian bloodline claims descent from Jesus Christ himself! The bloodline families, and the powers behind them, the Jewish Satanist Moneylenders and the Jesuit Psychopath Pedophile Priests believe they will become living Gods through superior genetics and technology. They are Darwinists and atheists who believe they can shape reality through the magickal arts (now known as chaos theory, quantum mechanics) and overcome the laws of nature. This will be their undoing.
The occult religion of the elite teaches that the Christian God is the bad guy and Satan the good guy. God held man in the bondage of ignorance while Satan freed him to fulfill his true destiny of Godhood! The elite act out their Gnostic rites (Satanism) in private and on the public stage mainly through 'entertainment' (predictive programming, conditioned response) and spectacular crimes (911, 777).
The biblical 'prophecies' are the elite's business plan. They are well underway fulfilling the 'prophecies' of the Bible. Scottish Rite of Freemasonry founder Albert Pike wrote in 1871 that WW111 was to be between Zionism and Islam causing a worldwide collapse of the economy and civilization itself. A World King will come forth who will 'prove' his lineage to Jesus, Mohammad and King David (that I identify the 'Lion King' chapter) who will absorb Islam and Christianity into the New Age Satanic/Luciferian religion - Judaism. During this tribulation so called 'UFO sightings' ,'alien' and 'paranormal' experiences will dramatically increase. The Jewish United Nations will announce to the world that aliens genetically engineered mankind and they have returned to either make war with us or bring 'peace and security'. The public will accept either scenario as reality their response having been predictively programmed by movies and television to accept that aliens exist - la' Star Trek, V, Star Wars, etc.
Central to the Mystery Religions is Kaballah, or Cabala, as in a cabal. Freemasonry is Kabbalism. It is the recipe book for invoking demons, talking to the dead, animating dead matter and becoming a living God. It says that God is everywhere yet unconscious filtering through emanations called Sepheroth. The Sepherotic tree of Life describes God's descent from the divine to the material and man's ascent from the material to the divine. Each sepheroth is a level of attainment towards mastery and has a corresponding energy center in the body, what the Hindus call a chakra. Each sepheroth is divided in four sections or 'worlds'. They are emanation, creation, formation and action. The sepheroth comprise the unspeakable personal name of God, the Tetragrammatron. The system propounded by Kabbalists is the use of amulets, talismans, numbers, name mysticism, incantations and demonology to ascend the Tree of Life to Godhood. The purest, highest state is called Israel.
The Mystery Religions teach that all symbols and numbers have a corresponding energy vibration. These 'secrets' were rarely written down but passed down by word of mouth, through symbols and numbers, and encoded in the architecture of buildings and monuments by their symbols, shapes and measurements. The Kaballah made its first written appearance about 1200 years ago. John Dee (007), the founder of the British Empire brought the Kaballah to England after his pact in Vienna with the Jew Satanist Rabbis.
The most predominately used New World Order event numerics are 11, 13, 33, 39, 66, 666, 77, 777 and 93. These numbers are used predominately in orchestrated acts of terrorism, assassinations, acts of war and important mass indoctrination (entertainment). The are insane but there is a method to their insanity. The only thing 'magickal' occuring is the power of suggestion - neuro linguistic programming.
The world is a vast mind control lab/Satanic coven and we are its unwitting initiates/sacrificial victims.
The elite's attitude has, save for very brief periods, been one of master and slave. The great masses of people have been butchered, raped, starved, pillaged, tortured and sent to fight in useless wars. Their goal is the complete ownership of everyone, everywhere, forever microchipped cyberslaves. The future is only for those who are of use and can survive the coming 'paradigm shift' - the culling of the herd down to 500 million to 'save the earth'.Think Green is the mantra. Humans are a virus. We must get rid of most of them. Green is the color of Venus, or Lucifer. Venus is the Morning Star which rises BEFORE the Sun. Get it? If you serve no purpose in the New World Order you will be exterminated. The cryptocracy believe only they have souls and we are nothing more than cattle, or as one of their cultural architects Bertrand Russell said "useless eaters".
If the public fails to respond to the Revelation of The Method, the revealing of all the secrets for all to see - as is happening now - by getting rid of the virus (the Cryptocrats), then the public are steaks on the table by choice and consent according to their dogma.

What am I curious about climate change?
Although cows are amazing animals they're making our climate change. Ceri is a meteorologist and climatologist, today she came and talked to us about climate change. She came to tell us about climate change so we can learn more about climate change.
What I learnt from this presentation is that humans are the main cause to Co2. Also 97% scientists believe that climate change is real and the other 3% are normally paid by gas stations or don't study climatology. I also learnt that glaziers are melting into water. Cyclones are becoming more violent but not as often and rain is getting heavier in the eastern parts of Australia. What surprised me was the whole in the ozone layer is slowly shrinking.
Under the sea
Under the sea, under the sea. Under the sea is my science presentation title. You're probably asking why I chose the title under the sea. Well I chose it because my text was about what the ground is like at the bottom of the ocean
The science expo is when all of the year 5 classes in the school search about one main topic then write an explanation text about it. We did it so we understand a bit more about a living and breathing objects or non-living and breathing objects. All of this was presented on Wednesday the 7th of September in our year 5 classrooms.
My highlight was all of my finished and ready to show the visitors on the Tuesday. My lowlight making my model because it was hard to make it out of concrete so it was all running and it was hard to make volcanoes and trenches because it was a seabed. Next time I think I should do the model a bit earlier than I did but I think my time that I put in it went really well.

Downloading and Installation
Entering your mail settings
Your MSGTAG account
Tagging your mail
Minimising MSGTAG
Closing MSGTAG
Changing your mail account properties
Removing an account
To import your mail settings:
If you are using MS Outlook, Outlook Express, Incredimail, Eudora, or Netscape Mail
as your email program, the Import function is the easiest way to set up your mail
accounts. Use the Import function to automatically retrieve the relevant settings
from your email program.
To add a mail account manually:
MSGTAG allows you to add mail account settings manually. If you are using an email
program other than MS Outlook, Outlook Express, Incredimail, Eudora, or Netscape
Mail, you will need to manually add your mail account settings.
You will need the following information from your Internet service provider
(ISP) or local area network (LAN) administrator:
Getting Your Mail Account's SMTP Settings:
To get the name of your SMTP server, you will need to consult the documentation provided
by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) when you signed up for your email account.
Contact your ISP if you're still unsure.
MSGTAG's SMTP Port Settings:
When MSGTAG asks for your SMTP port (below), it's best to use the port number that MSGTAG provides you, and make sure you change your mail program's SMTP port setting to match this. Unless you are using Eudora, you should not use port 25. The reason for this is that some antivirus software uses localhost port 25. If you are running this type of software and MSGTAG is listening on port 25, there is a good chance you will experience conflict.
If you are using Eudora, you will need to use port 25, because this is the only port available for Eudora.
If you want to add mail accounts that use different SMTP servers, make sure that each account is listening on a different port, so MSGTAG can send the outgoing message to the correct SMTP server. Remember to update each mail account's SMTP port number in your mail program accordingly.
Once you have entered the details of your mail account, the MSGTAG wizard will instruct you to
change the SMTP server settings in your mail program.
To create a new MSGTAG Account
You must have a MSGTAG account to use the application.
If you do not have one, you can create one.
To use an existing MSGTAG Account
If you've set up your own MSGTAG account before, you don't need to set up another one,
simply enter the user details for your existing account and MSGTAG will recognise you.
[Please note that you cannot run two instances of MSGTAG at the same time using the same
account. If you intend to use MSGTAG on two different computers, and there is a chance
that you might have them running simultaneously, we strongly suggest that you set up
two separate MSGTAG accounts.]
To tag your mail
You can choose to enable tags in your email in three ways:
To minimize MSGTAG
MSGTAG runs in the background. You can minimize the application by clicking the minimize button
in the MSGTAG window or, in the Tools menu, clicking Minimize to Tray.
In the system tray at the bottom right of your screen a MSGTAG capsule icon will appear.
If the capsule is completely orange then this indicates that tagging is off. If the
capsule has a green tip then tagging is on.
Anytime you need to change MSGTAG's settings, simply double click on the capsule icon.
To close MSGTAG
To close MSGTAG, simply right click on the capsule icon in your system tray and select
IMPORTANT: Please note that when MSGTAG is closed, you will not be able to send any email.
But don't worry, MSGTAG will warn you before you exit, so you don't switch it off accidentally.
We suggest that you leave MSGTAG running and just disable
tagging when you don't want to use it.
Changing your mail account properties
MSGTAG allows you to change your mail account settings manually.
To remove a MSGTAG account
"Featured in The Wall Street Journal and PC Magazine"
"... After using MSGTAG for a week, I was hooked. ... I found it worked like a charm. ... now I'm not sure what I'll do without it."

Despite getting a little extra attention of late, the problem of ocean surcharges, fees, and GRIs is still overshadowed by the historically low ocean cargo rates in the industry right now. So while the current problems at Hanjin have further highlighted the issue and risks to shippers from low rates, it's important not lose sight of the systemic challenges surcharges cause for shippers, forwarders, and carriers themselves.
Here's two recent articles we've written on the topic.
Click to Read – Why Surcharges Are the Biggest Risk to the Ocean Shipping Industry, Not Low Rates
Click to Read – Is It Time to Ban Ocean Surcharges from Shipping Lines?
Despite their importance, many shippers are not even aware of the surcharges they are paying. Instead, they trust the invoices are correct, or are simply too overwhelmed to do anything. To help, here's a breakdown of the charges that appear on a typical ocean invoice, with the most common surcharges explained.
Base Rate: Shipping carriers establish their own rate of shipping, which varies among carriers and routes. The base rate is a calculation of the weight, size, and type of goods being shipped, as well as the distance. Carriers can adjust their base rates depending on their need for additional volume along certain routes.
Peak Season Surcharge: From the months of July to November, there is a sizeable increase in the transportation coming from the Far East (most of Asia) to the West. As a result, shipping companies often impose a Peak Season Surcharge on shipments from this region. Shipping companies can extend the period of the peak season if needed.
Carrier Security Charge: The International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS) is a detailed set of measures to enhance the security of ships and port facilities. If a carrier maintains vessels which are compliant to this code, they will apply a charge back to the customer. The charge is applied per container, on all shipments.
Origin Terminal Handling Charge: The origin terminal handling charge is the fee collected by shipping lines to cover the handling costs for the containers which will be processed through the terminals. The shipping line, in turn, pays the terminal operator. These charges vary by country, as the cost of handling at each port differs. When the delivery or pickup of goods will be at a container terminal, all parties must determine who will pay for all or part of the terminal charges.
Origin Doc Fee: This charge appears on the Bill of Lading if the Shipping Instruction (SI) is not transmitted to the carrier via electronic data interchange or on the carrier's online portal. It also applies if the Shipping Instruction has been submitted but the booking is cancelled after the deadline.
Advance Manifest Surcharge: Shipping companies must provide certain destination customs authorities with shipment information according to the carrier in advance. This cost is added to maintain compliance with the regulations. As more countries use these customs requirements, more shippers will incur this fee.
Chassis Charge: Since many ocean liners no longer provide chassis services for import and export containers, drayage companies must either own or rent the necessary transport equipment. The daily chassis rate varies by carrier, but are usually around $15-$25 per day. However, the longer a chassis is used on a container, the higher the daily charge will be.
Rate Restoration Initiative: As the ocean carrier industry has been adversely affected by economic downturns, rates fell on every major trade lane to the extent that every carrier was losing money. The rate restoration initiative is an increase in container freight rates so they reach a compensatory level. These increases vary by shipping line and destinations.
It will be a while, if ever, that ocean carriers stop adding surcharges. And unfortunately this top list is only a few out of the 1,200+ that carriers charge. Until the industry makes some significant changes, it's more important than ever for shippers to look closely at their ocean freight invoices and understand exactly what they are paying for.

GWD (α-glucan,water dikinase) is the enzyme that catalyses the phosphorylation of starch by a dikinase-type reaction in which the β-phosphate of ATP is transferred to either the C-6 or the C-3 position of the glycosyl residue of amylopectin. GWD shows similarity in both sequence and reaction mechanism to bacterial PPS (pyruvate,water dikinase) and PPDK (pyruvate,phosphate dikinase). Amino acid sequence alignments identified a conserved histidine residue located in the putative phosphohistidine domain of potato GWD. Site-directed mutagenesis of this histidine residue resulted in an inactive enzyme and loss of autophosphorylation. Native GWD is a homodimer and shows a strict requirement for the presence of α-1,6 branch points in its polyglucan substrate, and exhibits a sharp 20-fold increase in activity when the degree of polymerization is increased from 27.8 to 29.5. In spite of the high variability in the degree of starch phosphorylation, GWD proteins are ubiquitous in plants. The overall reaction mechanism of GWD is similar to that of PPS and PPDK, but the GWD family appears to have arisen after divergence of the plant kingdom. The nucleotide-binding domain of GWD exhibits a closer phylogenetic relationship to prokaryotic PPSs than to PPDKs.

- phosphorylation
- site-directed mutagenesis

Cryptocurrencies are pretty popular at the moment. So, even if you have not had any particular interest in this brave new world of finance, chances are that you have heard a few things about cryptocurencies, otherwise known as virtual currencies.
One word that gets thrown around a lot is blockchain. The entire world has probably heard about it. But ironically, few can fully explain what the term blockchain means, how it works, or even why you should care about it.
What is Blockchain?
And so, what is blockchain? Or even more specifically, what is a blockchain? All these are valid questions; and it is surprising how many people are at a loss to explain what the term means. That's probably because you don't need to know what blockchain means to invest and make money using cryptocurrencies.
To begin with, blockchain is a technology that came about with the father of all cryptocurrencies – Bitcoin. To say the least, blockchain technology is the backbone of any virtual currency in existence today. Otherwise, blockchain is a digital record of a financial transaction and other transactions leading up to it.
What Makes Blockchain Technology Special?
What gives this technology a reputation as a groundbreaking financial discovery is the fact that it is incorruptible and decentralized. This makes up for many flaws that exist in the traditional financial system.
Thanks to blockchain technology, a transaction's details are duplicated several times, and linked to all the preceding transactions. This makes it impossible for any single party to modify a transaction's information to their benefit.
For instance, a hacker would have to hack a particular block, and every other former block to be successful. That is practically impossible, which is why the technology is so astoundingly secure. Furthermore, this financial information is publicly available and decentralized – it is spread out over countless computers.
That is what makes blockchain technology so ironclad. No single entity, be it be a bank, a government, or even a hacker, can tamper with the details of blockchain transactions.
So, to put it simply, blockchain is a safer and more reliable way of handling online-based financial transactions. And although the mainstream banking industry is beginning to appreciate the benefits blockchain technology has to offer, it is primarily associated with virtual currencies. That is why the terms cryptocurrency and blockchain technology still go hand in hand today.
How Does Blockchain Work?
Here is how blockchain works – to avoid having to rely on the integrity of another party in a financial deal, or involving an expensive third party, blockchain takes on the role of a cheap and independent go-between.
Based on a script detailing the terms of the contract you are making with someone else, the blockchain will know how to settle the transaction when the conditions of the contract are met. So, if someone acknowledges the receipt of goods, the technology will know to make the escrowed cash payment to the seller.
The brilliance of this technology is that it is smart enough to know that the contract conditions have been met without the need for additional input from any of the parties. For this reason, the system is completely impartial. To top it off, the technology works fast and at a much lower cost.
How Blockchain Technology Can Make You Money
A lot of people are investing in cryptocurrencies and making themselves fortunes. Many of them cannot even offer a coherent explanation of what blockchain is, but they still make money through their investments.
As mentioned earlier, blockchain is the backbone to any virtual currency. So, once you understand what blockchain is, you are pretty much conversant on how any cryptocurrency is configured to function. And this knowledge should give you an upper hand as you dip your toe into the world of cryptocurrency investments.
Some people speculate on the prices of virtual currencies, trading them in exchanges for a profit. This is sort of like a regular forex exchange transaction. The upside is that these new-age currencies tend to experience deeper price fluctuations, which means you will get better opportunities for profits if you take the right positions in these transactions.
You can also make money, indirectly, by accepting cryptocurrency payments for your goods and services. Being safer, you will have a better chance of getting paid for your services. Additionally, since blockchain technology comes with reduced transaction costs, you will save quite a bit of money over time.
It is also possible to make money through blockchain technology by setting up computer rigs to help mine virtual currencies. Depending on the size of your crypto mining operation, you can rake in hundreds or even thousands of dollars each month through cryptocurrency mining. One of the biggest companies that provide mining services is BitClub, they offer mining pools where you can earn bitcoin by getting together with other people. It's worth checking out if you want to start immediately.
There are countless other ways to make money through cryptocurrencies. For instance, you can register with a bitcoin faucet site and get paid to view ads. You can also earn virtual currency for small online tasks, and so forth. You just need to do a little research to discover where your most promising path to blockchain-based fortunes lies.

This post contains the continuation of my debate with Richard Bushey (@AChristianWord) about the Bible and apologist claims that it contains evidence of miraculously gained scientific truth.
To see the original post (the first "Round"), as well as background info on the debate, go here.
What follows is Richard's response to my comment, followed by my counter.
Richard's response:
Isaiah: The way I see it, the only object that is a circle from every angle is a sphere.
Jeremiah: I do not see how saying "as innumerable as the stars in the sky" is not an indication that the stars are innumberable.
Job: I do not understand your rebuttal. I think it is incredible that the Bible indicates that beyond the northern skies, there is empty space. Secondly, suspended does not indicate that it is still. It indicates that it does not have anything hoisting it into the air.
Hebrews 11: It says very clearly that the visible world is constructed by that which is not visible.
1 Corinthians: Again, it is not saying what you are indicating. It says that they are all different.
Leviticus 17:11 What is remarkable here is that the Bible indicates what nobody on earth knew. The entire known world thought that sick people must be bled. But the Bible did not.
2 Sam 22:16 Your lack of theological understanding is present here. The Bible does not indicate that God literally had a nose that blows breath. Throughout the Bible when it speaks of "the breath," it is referring to the work of the Holy Spirit. That is why we see phrases like "all scripture is God-breathed," and so forth.
Leviticus: What is remarkable is that it very clearly says to clean yourself when the rest of the world did not.
I also noticed that you had no response to the passages that I posted. It should also be noted that your attempt to refute these passages suggests how remarkable it is that the Bible is the only book that teaches these things. The Bible is the only book that clearly teaches that the universe is in a continuous state of expansion, the earth is a sphere, the stars are innumberable. In fact, we can also add Jeremiah 33:25 which teaches that the natural laws of the universe are fixed, and Romans 8:20-22 which teaches that one of these laws is the law of decay.
Now at the moment I am not going to bother with your response to WLC's argument. But I beg you, Martin, when you look at these, try to leave your presuppositions at the door. It really seems as though you are just making things up to avoid the conclusion that these Bible teaches these things.
My (@Allocutus) response:
No, I'm not making any presumptions. In fact, where I've seen merits in your source's arguments, I concluded it as "Good Observation". Further, after a response on my own blog, I conceded that another one of these is a "Good Observation" (Paul in 1 Corinthians 15 noticing - as any child would! - that some stars are brighter than others). As for the line-by-line style, it makes it easier for me - and for any readers who want to follow the discussion - without having to jump back and forward, but I'm happy to do blocks instead :)
No, we have one interpretation that is consistent with mythology and is literal. We have another that is consistent with science and is NOT literal. Is there any reason why we should choose the latter one? No, there isn't. Can you therefore claim that Isaiah is consistent with science? No, you can't. At the very most, you can say that "a particular interpretation, which changes the meanings of some words ('above' and 'circle') would avoid inconsistency with science". Fine. But that's a far cry from claiming that Isaiah 40:22 is scientifically correct.
I've looked at the Hebrew translation and it goes like this:
Third round:
Also, note that there's nothing about "running" water in Leviticus. Your source (blue table) claims that the contemporary science was to use STILL water while Leviticus recommended RUNNING water. But you quote sources (in your last post) that claim that washing hands with water wasn't a part of contemporary (to Moses, but nevermind that) "science" AT ALL. It seems that you yourself are going against the blue table. This is not an attack on you, by the way. I'm simply pointing out that it becomes increasingly evident that the blue table can't be relied on.

On the way home from work tonight, I waited my turn at the light just two blocks away from home. When I was clear, I turned left onto the boulevard, and drove about 30 feet, gradually catching up to the truck ahead of me. The driver of this truck waved to the car at their left (in the center turning lane) what appeared to be a friendly goodbye greeting, as that vehicle made a left-turn into the gas station. Then the truck immediately in front of me put on its brake lights. It was not going that fast to begin with, and I was confused why the driver would be slowing down. I quickly realized that they were not slowing – they had come to a complete stop, blocking the traveling lane. I pushed my brake pedal down harder to come to a stop behind them. My close stop being unexpected provided me very little distance if I were now to chose to make a maneuver to pass the truck ahead of me. Fortunately the other cars behind us also came to a stop at this unusual place in the road. I watched the driver ahead of me, who leaned toward the center console of her car, picked up a cell phone, and put it to her face. The driver appeared to be talking, while parked and blocking the progress of everyone behind them. About a half a minute later, I could still see no apparent reason why we should remain motionless. I was about to sound a friendly "beep-beep" of the horn, when this driver (without signaling) slowly began a left turn into the same gas station, crossing the center turn lane and oncoming traffic lane to do so. I sped up to the full speed limit of the road, and continued on the two additional blocks to reach my home. I felt bewildered as I tried to reason out what had happened and what that driver was thinking?

The best laid schemes of mice and men
August 22, 2012 by Ryan
My plans at work for a Friday team training fell apart and were canceled on me. As I reflected on it, I found myself thinking of a line "The best laid schemes of mice and men" and couldn't come up with the rest, or if it was applicable. I decided to use my extended memory, otherwise known as Google, and search it. I found a poem called "To a Mouse" by Robert Burns.
The story is that Mr. Burns was plowing his field and turned over the dirt of a family of mice. He recognized that they had carefully burrowed and built this home to be safe for the winter, but he had disturbed it and ruined their entire plan. He later went and wrote a poem.
The stanza that I was recalling was this:
But little Mouse, you are not alone,
In proving foresight may be vain:
The best laid schemes of mice and men
Go often awry,
And leave us nothing but grief and pain,
For promised joy!
So this was a bit overdramatic for my particular situation. Although it rings true often enough in life. Funny thing is, I don't remember why I should know this poem. With some research, I know that this was a great inspiration for the book "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck. That book I do remember reading in High School. I remember it because there was a generous helping of profanity within it. I remember well that my English teacher, Mrs. Charington, explained that we would read it out loud as a class, taking turns reading two paragraphs each as we went around the room. And if anyone was uncomfortable reading the profanity, simply pause and she would read those words out loud.
When it came my turn, I abridged my sentence, removing the offending word. I didn't even think about it; my brain just does that as I read. I don't mean to imply that I read a lot of cursing; but when I do, my brain tends to just remove the offending word or phrase as I pass by. It is a talent or a training or whatever-you-call-it that I quite like. Mrs. Charington didn't like it. She stopped me, and made me read it correctly, pausing at the offending word so that she could read it aloud.
In a class attended by 99% Mormon kids, the teacher pronounced a lot of swear words during that book reading. Which she explained was her time of the year to say those words out loud and relieve her frustrations in life.
At any rate, I don't remember why the poem was coming to my mind today. I honestly can't recall when I might have studied it, or why it had any significance to my memory – except maybe connected to that senior year book reading?

A Rooster Wearing a Tuxedo
August 2, 2012 by Ryan
I saw a clever portrayal being shared on social media of a supposed hypocrisy of following "biblical principles." This one was specifically targeting Chick-fil-A restaurants, which lends both financial and edible support to groups who promote "traditional" marriage and family, but also serves pork products with their breakfast meals.
It was cute, but also showed either a disregard or ignorance toward the Holy Bible.
The flier cites Leviticus 11:7-8 as evidence that swine is forbidden. "And the swine … is unclean to you. Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you."
The Law of Moses indeed taught this, and the interpretation is correct. Good Jews should not eat pork.
When we obey the law of God, we are blessed. In the Book of Daniel, Chapter 1, we learn of a young Jewish boy named Daniel, who was taken captive by King Nebuchadnezzar about 600 BC. Verse 8 explains that "Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank." He requested an exception be made, and was granted that he could eat from a kosher menu, and he was blessed of God for his diligence.
The law of unclean foods was actually a revealed part of the Divine plan, and the blessings of obedience were both physical and spiritual.
However, times changed.
In the Acts of the Apostles, Chapter 10, starting in verse 9, Jesus's chief apostle Peter was hungry. He fell asleep before dinner, and dreamt that the Lord commanded him to kill and eat the unclean animals. Following this dream, Peter is introduced to "Gentiles" who are likewise unclean according to the Jewish law, but who are clearly feeling the Holy Ghost and want to be baptized and follow Jesus Christ. He learns in this experience that the old law of Moses was fulfilled in the atonement of Jesus Christ. Jesus Himself had declared this, as recorded in the Gospel of Luke 24:44, and now Peter was understanding the full meaning.
He and Paul and the rest of the apostles go on to teach that the laws of cleansing and purification and circumcision are no longer necessary. Those rules had belonged to the time and season, and have been fulfilled in the greater law of Jesus Christ.
So that verse from Leviticus only applies up until about 33 AD, unless you want to stop at Malachi and continue being Jewish.
There are some commands which are given (or revoked) by God for certain people at certain times, according to His wisdom, and by his authorized representatives. Some would argue that this makes God a changeable being; I don't agree. I see it as a perfectly natural way to respond to the needs of the day and to prove His people and their faith in following Him.
But hey, guys who made that picture being passed around on Facebook – Here is another angle you could try.
You could ridicule Chick-fil-A for supporting plural marriage. The Holy Bible is full of examples of men who were married to multiple women at the same time. Abraham, Jacob (better known as Israel), Moses, King David and King Solomon. Even lesser famous men like Samuel's father Elkanah, who "had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah" (The First Book of Samuel, Chapter 1, Verse 1-2).
According to "Biblical Principles," this is acceptable!
Except that it is not. Though we don't know exactly where or when, somewhere along the way, the expectation for marriage changed. We read of Paul explaining to Timothy and Titus that men who are leaders in the church ought to set a good example and have just one wife (see The First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to Timothy, Chapter 3:2 or The Epistle of Paul to Titus, Chapter 1:6). Chick-fil-A has implied a leaning toward Christian values rather than Jewish values, so I'm thinking that they are going for the apostolic interpretation of marriage.
God has the ability to command differently, when His wisdom deems it prudent. Like as the example of Peter and the unclean foods, if God wants to give us different direction, He will do so through His servants the prophets. So far as I've heard, however, we currently use the 1-to-1 ratio of marriage.
But hey, a rooster wearing a tuxedo, surrounded by multiple hens in wedding veils… it could make a really good viral picture to share on Facebook! You can conveniently forget that other stuff and just go for the punch line!

November 15, 2008
About a year ago I wrote about my "trials and tribulations" related to changing buffer motors. A workshop and craft is a system, and when one cog in the machine is out of whack the whole system can come tumbling down. That may sound extreme, but I sure do know it to be true.
The last time that I had buffer woes I solved my problems by acquiring a Delta variable speed buffer, a floor model from Lowes for about one-third retail. I admit it, when it comes to such purchases I can be rather frugal, but at the time it was the simplest fix. I was warned at the time about Chinese motors, but the lure of a good deal clouded my reason. So, it was no surprise when my variable speed motor decided to no longer be variable, but full out 3400 RPMs. While it's a great thing for rough material removal, most objects do not buff well at those speeds. So there I was, right back where I had started, virtually crippled. All attempted repairs having failed, the search was on, once again.
Luckily this time I didn't have to search for too long or go too far. I only went as far as my garage where there are a number of boxes still unpacked from the move, or was it the last move, or the one before that? One box was marked "garage: motors" but I had gone through that box many times always finding buffer motors that had issues making them worthless. So, this time I decided to look in less obvious boxes and was immediately rewarded with the finest motor that I have ever had. It had been missing from almost ten years ago when I started Ming, and this baby was and is the Rolls Royce of motors. It purrs like a kitten and there is no wobble to that shaft at all. I could picture it on the Space Shuttle or the TGV. Gone are the caps for oiling, this one has nipples for grease. Sexy.
So, with a few trips to the hardware store and way too much down-time the motor was installed, but, things weren't quite right, not by a long shot. This motor sits much lower than most, so it completely changed my seating position relative to the buff. The same thing had happened with the last buffer and the resulting tendonitis was something that I didn't want to repeat. When you shift your body's position with regards to the working end of an intense and repetitive task, the body must learn and adapt, and that causes stress and strain. And, it causes dissonance. All week long my attempts at buffing didn't seem right. I would try and try but would soon walk away as I couldn't get into that groove that I need to find to do my best work, or any work for that matter. I found myself quickly abandoning my attempts at buffing and moving on to other tasks. Any distraction at all can be fatal to a piece, and I was far more than distracted. Fortuantely I was making headway on carving, but nothing was finishing up, and that is not a good thing. So, I sat down and tried to sort through things to figure out what was wrong and what could be done about it. The answer turned out to be simple.
I got in the old "Wayback Machine" and took myself back to a year ago when things were perfect, the buffer in the right place, and work getting done. I asked myself a question: what is different now? The answer was that I had installed the motor at the new work station, where the Delta had been, when it needed to go back where it had been before that, with the buff right at the "V" where two workbenches arranged in an "L" shape meet. That positions my arms at the perfect height so that my elbows can rest on the benchtop edges offering support while I buff. That was the answer.
As I sat down this morning, a line-up of long overdue ready-to-buff tampers before me, it felt like old times as the wonderful motor purred away. It felt great, and my body slid right into that groove that had been missing for so long. It was like coming home again, a convergence of perfect machine and perfect location triggering a memory in my body that could only be expressed by a sigh of relief.
But, there was yet one fly stuck in the ointment, one variable that I hadn't taken into account, one that would ruin my day. As I begun to buff again I knew that I had to finish a very important piece. I had recently carved the KazeTamp Fifth Anniversary tamper, a Torune-do with one side made from Caneel and the other from Bali, the tamper that you see above. Lamination of the two pieces is done on the molecular level, so if the preparation and technique is perfect the resulting seam will be anywhere from dead minimal to non-existent. As luck was having it this seam was looking non-existent. Buffing would be exceptionally tricky as the final result would depend upon dead-bang perfect buffing, but the potential results were well worth making every effort possible. So I buffed and buff away. It's a combination of buffing and sanding, a technique that I couldn't describe to you, one that you would have to see to understand. considering my recent down-time from buffing I really couldn't afford to spend the time, but it had to be done just right. When the dust had settled, five hours later, after an unprecedented effort, the tamper was done and the seam virtually invisible. I was one happy camper. I was also almost blind.
Eye strain is a huge issue. What I do takes great visual acuity and what has to be intense use of the muscles associated with the eye. After a typical day of work my world is very often a blur. I've tried everything, but my ophthalmologist tells me that it is normal, and to be expected. It can take hours for my vision to return. I live with it. Today it was a really nasty surprise as it came so early, preventing me from putting the final buff on other pieces that needed to go out. Sure, five hours of intense buffing alone could have done me in, but when I moved the motor I had failed to change my lighting, and that really did me in. Had I thought it through I would have thought in terms of the work associated with the buffer being a system where one change causes another. I should be ashamed as in my undergrad studies in organizational behavior we followed a systemic approach that dictated that change to one element or aspect of a system can and will cause unanticipated changes elsewhere. An education is useless unless you use it. I now only wonder what other unanticipated changes will have occurred.
Tomorrow is another day for that.

Insatiable collectors Claude et Janine Vérité unveil their fourth passion, model boats, after Tribal Art, Asian Art and Archaeology. This is a unique collection of over 170 pieces – dating from the end of the 18th century to the middle of the 20th century – by French, English and German sailors or model makers using a range of materials such as wood, ivory, bone, whalebone, metal and even papier-mâché. While the sailors' works, the ivories from Dieppe, the ex-votos and even the toys are relatively well-known, the model boats collected here will be a true discovery for connoisseurs and the collectors.
These works will be offered at auction on Tuesday 24 June at Christie's Paris.

Various Medical Remedies For Aches And Pains
In the day and age today, with many stresses in life, bad posture, sudden accidents, wastage of limbs are very common conditions many suffer with. This is specifically not limited to one age category or gender. Quite often back in the day we have head of the old aged, having to complain of back aches or arthritis, due to wastage of limbs. But in the day and age today this is not restricted to that. Whether it be a young toddler moving on to a teenager, young adults and then the not so old and the old adults start complaining of various different conditions that are threatening the limbs. Taking action and the necessary precautions and at the same time treatments is very important. Many try out various solutions and here's a quick a look at few. No doubt, this will aid you in the near future or someone you know.
Home remedies This is where we all start, as soon as you have trouble and unbearable pain. We try all the crème's and balms at home or pop a pill which is for aches and pains. After few times of application or doses, you come to realize it is not helping. For instance, due to bad posture when working or driving or even stressing yourself too much or excess body weight, many suffer from scoliosis back pain. At most times, many are not aware of this condition but think of it is as a general back ache. You go all out of the way to try home remedies. Home remedies can cease the pain and reduce the condition, but it will continue. Starting on home remedies is the best, but not the ideal and complete solution, at the end of the day.
Medical helpWhen you know the home remedies are far gone and not helping more, this is when it gets serious. You think of seeking medical help. Most often we are used to going to the family practitioner or a general physician. This is a good start. Seeing such professional can be the next primary care, which thereafter can direct towards the right care. Sometimes general physicians can help, but you might have to go further. When it comes to aches or pains or limb related conditions quite often physiotherapy can assist. If you follow a specific plan and exercises the right way, it can help reduce the condition and at the same time, can be the perfect answer for perfect cure.
Many when it comes to medical help might see an orthopedic for further treatment. Sometimes conditions can be serious and might need surgical procedures or even treatment methods such as acupuncture. At the end of the day, everyone wants to be pain free and whatever it takes to be pain free, as individuals we try it. That is the only way out at the end of the day.

I am presenting to the Board this month, for initial discussion and a vote to solicit public comment, proposed regulations that reflect our redesigned accountability and assistance system. These regulations would amend the current regulations on underperforming schools and school districts. With the Board's approval, we will solicit public comment on the proposed regulations, in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act. We expect to bring the proposed regulations back to the Board for a final vote in December 2009.
Attached are the latest versions of the Accountability and Assistance Framework (Attachment 1) and the flowchart depicting how districts and schools enter and exit Levels 3-5 accountability status (Attachment 2). The Board of Elementary and Secondary Education has reviewed and discussed the framework and flowchart at various stages over the last year. Attached also are proposed regulations that translate the framework and flowchart into specific roles and responsibilities for improving student achievement (Attachment 3). These proposed regulations would amend the Regulations on Underperforming Schools and School Districts, 603 CMR 2.00.
All of the above reflect the current statutes on school and district accountability. Governor Patrick has filed legislation on Readiness Schools that would revise some of these statutes. The Legislature will consider the Governor's bill this fall. If the bill is enacted, most of the regulations proposed here would not change. The primary changes required if the bill is enacted relate to expanded authority for the Commissioner and Board to require changes in district and school practices at Levels 4 and 5.
We need to move ahead with proposed amendments now because the current regulations are not consistent with the 2008 law that eliminated the Office of Educational Quality and Accountability and brought all school and district accountability responsibilities into the Department. Moreover, the current regulations do not reflect the framework that has been developed over the past year in close consultation with the Board and key stakeholders. Without regulations consistent with current law, the Board and Department are limited in the actions we can take with respect to district underperformance. Any changes that the Legislature enacts can relatively easily be reflected in further amendments to the regulations if necessary.
In order to be consistent with current law and to reflect the framework, the proposed regulations make major changes from the current regulations. Of the five sections in the current regulations,
Charter schools: Charter schools are not covered by the proposed regulations (see definitions of district or school district and school in 2.02), because they have their own system of accountability in the charter renewal system.
Conditions for school effectiveness: The eleven conditions for school effectiveness have been incorporated into the proposed regulations at 2.04(3)1. These conditions, with additional detail, will be incorporated into the district indicators referred to at 2.04(2)(a).
Placement of schools and districts in Levels 4 and 5: Under the proposed regulations, the commissioner places schools in Level 4 on the basis of quantitative data (2.06(2)), and, on behalf of the Board, places those schools' districts in Level 4 (2.06(1)(b)). We anticipate that the number of districts placed in Level 4 would be a function of the resources available to assist districts' and schools' improvement initiatives. The Board may also place districts in Level 4, on the commissioner's recommendation, based on serious deficiencies shown by a district review (no particular quantitative or qualitative requirements) (2.06(1)(a)). On the commissioner's recommendation, the Board may also place districts and schools in Level 5 (2.07(1) and (2)).
Placement of schools in Level 5: Under the proposed regulations (2.07(2)), a Level 4 school may be placed in Level 5 only if it has failed to meet the benchmarks in its intervention plan. The first time it could be placed in Level 5 would be one year from the approval of its intervention plan, if it had failed to meet its one-year benchmarks with the result that it appeared unlikely that it would meet its two-year benchmarks.
The reason for limiting placement of schools in Level 5 in this manner is to accord with M.G.L. c. 69, § 1J, which provides for declaration that a school is chronically underperforming if it has failed "to demonstrate significant improvement as dictated by its remedial plan within twenty-four months after the approval of its remedial plan . . .." On the other hand, there is no such statutory provision for districts, and proposed 2.07(1)(a) lists six bases on which the Board may place a district in Level 5.
Powers of the receiver: After the commissioner, on behalf of the Board, appoints a receiver for a Level 5 district (2.07(3)(a)), the commissioner defines the scope of the receiver's powers "up to and including all of the powers of the superintendent and school committee" (2.07(3)(b)). This is consistent with M.G.L. c. 69, § 1K. This provision allows the commissioner to provide for the sharing of district-wide responsibilities between the receiver and the superintendent or school committee, or to provide for a receiver's powers to relate only to certain schools within the district. Proposed section 2.07(3)(b) also provides for the commissioner to modify the receiver's powers from time to time.
Approval of intervention plans: Intervention plans are required at both Level 4 and Level 5 (2.06(5) and 2.07(5)); at both levels they are to be approved or disapproved by the commissioner (2.06(6) and 2.07(6)).
Reporting to Board: The commissioner is to report annually to the Board on the progress made by districts in Level 4 (2.06(7)) and is to report regularly to the Board on the progress made by each district in Level 5 (2.07(7)).
Removal of schools and districts from Levels 4 and 5: The proposed regulations provide that the criteria for schools and districts to be removed from Level 4 or Level 5 are tailored to the individual district and its schools by means of the intervention plan (2.06(8) and (9); 2.07((8) and (9)).
The removal of schools and districts from Levels 4 and 5 is to be done by the commissioner; this accords in the case of removal from Level 5 with M.G.L. c. 69, § 1K, which provides for a district's petition to the commissioner (with review by the Board in the case of an adverse determination, and right of judicial review of the Board's determination) to modify or eliminate extraordinary measures at a chronically underperforming school or modify or eliminate a receiver in a chronically underperforming district.
Placement after removal from Level 4 or 5: The proposed regulations provide flexibility to determine what level the district or school is placed in when it is removed from Level 4 or Level 5.
I recommend that the Board review the proposed regulations and vote at this month's meeting to send them out for public comment. Following the public comment period, we expect to bring the regulations back to the Board in December 2009 for a final vote.
1 The eleven conditions are referred to later in the regulations at 2.05(3) on self-assessment by districts in Level 3 and at 2.06(5)(b) and 2.07(5)(b) on Level 4 and Level 5 intervention plans.

I nearly ran face first into this very busy cluster of fuzzy caterpillars! I was so glad that they were still there the next day when I brought the family (and the camera) back for this most interesting sight. And now for a not-so-subtle transition into other kinds of caterpillar business, namely...The Custom Caterpillar.
Back-to-school has me a little behind, but trust that I have a few goodies to show here beginning tomorrow. All four items are custom order mixed medias, but remember that if you see anything you like and would like tweaked just for you let me know!

This evening my brother and I ran an easy 6 miles from Happy Days to Kendall Hills and back. The weather was perfect for running – cool air with temperatures in the 60s. A little tired from yesterday's workout but overall I felt pretty good.
Currently I'm #16 on the MMT 100 waitlist with 12 days left to go for lottery winners to withdraw and still receive a refund. It's looking pretty good right now that I'll have the chance to go back to Virginia in May to finish the toughest hundred miler east of the Mississippi, but only time will tell!

Hillsong Worship & Hillsong Church Pastor Brian Houston To Visit US With 'There Is More Tour' Following Book Release
In April, Grammy Award-winning Hillsong Worship and Hillsong Church global senior pastor Brian Houston will visit the United States for the "There Is More" tour, following the release of a new book by the same name by Houston. The tour is scheduled to visit 14 markets in megachurches, arenas, and other venues throughout April, kicking off in Austin, Texas, on April 5, and concluding in Washington, D.C., on April 24.
Hillsong Worship member Brooke Ligertwood, née Fraser, who last week won a Grammy Award for her song "What A Beautiful Name," says about the tour, "Hillsong Worship comes out of the heart of our church - Hillsong - and the heartbeat of that culture has been pioneered and shaped by our senior pastors, Brian and Bobbie Houston."
She continues, "As a team firmly planted in and serving our local church, Hillsong, we are fortunate enough to be able to sit under the teaching of our senior pastor often and are thrilled that so many more people will get to experience that this year through the There Is More Tour!"
"We are really expectant that during these nights as we magnify the Lord in worship we will experience His presence powerfully and transformatively together," Ligertwood says, "And that as we sit under the Word of God we would be challenged, encouraged and inspired to live the lives He has called and equipped us to live."
According to Houston, his book "There Is More" promises to show how life with God's power "can exceed every earthly expectation." He says, "When you surrender control and follow God's guidance, you become empowered and equipped to do the impossible, reach higher, and go further than you could have ever imagined-giving Him all the glory."
He adds, "By building our lives around godly principles, surrounding ourselves with wisdom, and living for a cause greater than ourselves, we can effectively live out God's purposes and have an enduring impact."
The book will be available everywhere on March 20, and is available for pre-order at online retailers listed here. Each ticket purchased for the "There Is More Tour" includes entry to the event as well as a copy of Houston's latest book.

We did the whole getting ready to go back to school shopping the other day, I had to get little E a whole new wardrobe! Everything she owned was stained :( Her brother's things were great, didn't look like they were ever used. I did get him a few things. R had her clothes bought earlier in the summer. So she was ready for school a month ago. So a week from today the kiddo's are back in school! then it's just me and A.
The weather here is still hot, going to go the beach later, but most likely won't stay for long, A has a tendancy to run away and everywhere, she's too busy and I'm too fat! hahaha. So it'll be long enough to cool down, that's about it.
