The internet can enable disruptive psychology
Is it possible that the Internet will enable a disruption to the study of human psychology? I think it could. Imagine that as we put more of our lives online, and data and information about our habits, behaviors, cultural and social activities gets recorded it could tell us a little more about ourselves. Perhaps, just perhaps it might even tell a story about ourselves that we didn't even know.
Who are we? What do we like? Have you ever wondered why that really shy person wears such a loud bright yellow jacket, is there anything beyond just, "it's fashionable" and moreover, how does shyness and bright yellow go together? Why does a mid life crisis occur? Can the Internet avoid a mid life crisis? Is it conceivable that mid life crises occur because of unmet needs being fulfilled? Hence the urge to quit your job, start a new hobby, buy that convertible, travel the world or buy a motorbike? If so, then how can we avoid this? By knowing ourselves.
There are a few layers to what the "self" really is and keeping it a mundane physical level here is how I believe we can make an impact: It is possible that our behaviors, and what we define our personalities to be, aren't heavily correlated? Take the example of the shy geeky closet gamer sitting in his room on Friday night gaming away – perhaps that's a very charismatic person waiting to be tapped, or stimulated – perhaps his/her upbringing wasn't conducive to his/her personality development or perhaps he/she has had some drastic events/situations to deal with in life that has molded them into who they think they are, but really are not. If you believe this to be a plausible argument then perhaps they web of data can enable users to know more about themselves, because of the things they've been watching, places they go to, websites they visit or meals they order. The list can go on and on and this data in turn, if sliced and diced appropriately can open up new possibilities in the forms of book recommendations, social/professional networks, products, jobs or places to travel to etc.
Can Facebook be your psychologist? Why not!

This years Chelsea Flower Show was very patriotic in celebration of Her Majesty's Queen's Diamond Jubilee (1952-2012).

|Neil I don't know how you do it. Another wonderful trip through one of the world's most outstanding flower shows.
I fell in love with Iris veriscolor 'Kermesina'.
I think the Best In Show Garden won by Brewin Dolphin, was my favorite. I found it restful and pleasing.

|Neil, really beautiful pictures of a great flower show, thank you for showing them to us. It was hard to decide but I think my favorite is the Hyde's display of Lilies.

|beautiful Neil as always. You did it again.
One thing, how in the world do they manage to get everything blooming at once like that??????

|I am a bit shocked at all your wonderful comments at the moment. For those who knew I had a bad accident on Friday 13th of January, and had not been out of the house apart from the Hospital till the Chelsea Flower Show.
So it was a big test for me, in that heat and with thousands of people. If you ever wish to loose weight go into the Great Pavilion for an hour and walk round taking pictures, you will lose 10 pounds an hour!
The constant watering of the plants and the water gardens plus the heat, and the people makes it like the hottest sauna you have ever been in. The only difference is the divine scent inside it. Yes you can go to the beer tent and have some shade and a pint. but step back inside the Pavilion and that evaporates in seconds. It was a long hard and hot day for me, but it was worth it as Chelsea is special to me.
Now you spurred me on to get doing Part 2.
Thank you all.
Jul 19, 2012 6:39 AM CST
|Neil, I didn't know you were in the hospital. I hope you are fully recovered now.
As you know I always look forward to your next article. The only down side of it is that I don't loose 10 pounds while reading them.

|Dear Lynn, when my head hit the brick wall I should have been in Hospital but as usual I was stubborn and would not go! Next morning I had no choice as things were so bad, and then they told me off for not going in the first place. Sarah was not best pleased with me or my own Doctor, but what do Doctors know anyway? No I have not fully recovered as they told me that may take years as severe head injuries are hard to diagnose. I also cracked my hip and bent my metal arm. They could or did not want to do surgery as my poor head was in a state, so my arm can stay bent and my hip is much better on its own.
It was the constant headaches they were worried about, so put me on tablets which disagreed with me, so I did not take them and told them so. It seems it will take forever, but if I can still get out and bring a bit of happiness to you all, that is all I could wish for.
p.s. Cherie I will tell you how they can get all the plants blooming at the same time when you are a big girl and 21!

| You really should listen to your lovely wife Neil. I speak as a wife, we want to keep our man around as long as possible.
Vic laughs, but Neil could make a lot of money if we could loose ten pounds by reading his articles. Maybe if I used the treadmill while reading them?
I am looking forward to the second installment for 2012.

There have been plenty of articles written over the past month about the horrendous stretch the Montreal Canadiens have gone through over the past two months – going from one of the top teams in the NHL to a team that stands a good chance of missing the playoffs. This bewildering transformation has led pretty much every hockey pundit to try to provide some sort of explanation. But as a Habs fan for more than forty years, I have no choice but to throw in my two cents as well.
In general, I really believe that when it comes to statistics, a graph is worth a thousand words. So I've put together a number of graphs which pretty much say what everybody else has been saying, but may paint the picture more clearly.
Since calculating statistics from a certain calendar date or from the beginning of a certain streak may seam a little arbitrary, I have broken up the team's first fifty games into five-game units, and charted a few basic statistics broken up by these units. No possession stats or anything else fancy, just basic numbers.
As can be seen in graph #1, this rough stretch of 25 games is not just a matter of losing a few tight games that could have gone either way. The Habs have been significantly outscored over these 25 games.
Interestingly, during this same stretch, they have been consistently outshooting their opponents by a wide margin. As you can see in graph #2, only in one of the five-game units were they outshot, and even then by such a small margin that you can barely tell in the graph.
Which of course brings us to graph #3. While not unexpected, there's been a huge drop in save percentage since Carey Price re-injured himself. For the first 25 games, the team's save percentage was well above 90%, while in the next 25 games, the team's save percentage only climbed above 90% for one of the five-game sets.
The one picture that is a source of optimism for Habs' fans is the last graph, shooting percentage. In the first 25 games, the team's shooting percentage was in the 10-14% range most of the time, falling as low as 8% only once. In contrast, in the next 25 games, this percentage bottomed-out, moving to the 4-6% range, climbing as high as 8% in only one of the five-game sets. For a little perspective: right now, the team with the lowest shooting percentage in the NHL this year is Anaheim with 7.4%.
As a number of hockey writers have pointed out, it's hard to imagine the Canadiens maintaining such a low shooting percentage for the rest of the season. Here's hoping that they're right.

Some years ago I couldn't predict the life I have right now, neither the people with whom I would cross paths. I remember to recall Malta only from the Eurovision contest. But, in the meantime, 5 years have passed since Ruben and I landed in the middle of the mediterranean sea just with 1 suitcase each.
The day after our arrival I started to work for a corporation and Hermen, a tall and loud laughing guy (I would say is quite a stereotype for a Dutch man) was one of the first persons I met there.
A few months later I started to hear about a beautiful girl and a long distance romance. The type of love stories that come out of a good book or from this type of movies you watch when is cold and raining outside, while you are wrapped inside your blanket enjoying a cup of hot chocolate. But love has no boundaries, no country, no borders. Not long after, Olga came all the way from St. Petersburg to join us in Malta. It was a raining day and we made our way to Valletta to meet them in a beautiful town house.
Since that day, so many days have passed, so many things have happened, so many changes on the way. It is just beautiful to see them now, a married couple that settled so far from their homes and have now started their own family.
We couldn't let this special moment to pass without holding in photography some memories...

Rape, Roofies, And The First Amendment
Snakeman99, an attorney who's a pretty regular commenter here, writes:
Amy – I came across this article (Time magazine) yesterday and was reminded of your coverage of the Tory Bowen alleged rape case.
As you may recall, Ms. Bowen contacted you and made some cryptic remarks about how her case had now become a 1st Amendment issue.
Her e-mail, which I posted at the bottom of this entry:
Amy- I was forwarded your blog, and you are mistaken. I have never gone home with someone I had met at a bar... let alone church - and I wasn't a drunk slut as you seem to insinuate. I was drugged. But, you wouldn't know that - and the jurors aren't allowed to know that as well because the vial of urine sent for ketamine, rohypinol, and all other date rape substances broke in the mail (it's court records). They also found vomit in his car (tested - it was my DNA) - before I was raped which means he knew I was very sick and probably should have been taken to a hospital.
As for the nurse that testified '2 am' she asked me what time I thought the first rape would have occurred, 1 am is the time that the bars closed, so I said 'I don't know - 2 am?' You have your opinions, and advice. But regardless to if you think he raped me or not - I am fighting for all women (you included) to at least have the liberty to state under oath what they believed happened. At this point, it is a free speech issue. I gather by your remarks you'd be livid if the defendant was mandated by the courts to testify that it was rape - a victim should receive the same rights.
Incidentally, you write very well - I just wish it weren't about me.
a fellow red-head,
Tory Bowen
Snakeman99 continues:
After reading the above (Time magazine) article (and a few others), I finally understand her claim.
Apparently, the judge at her alleged attacker's trial banned Ms. Bowen from using the term "rape" at trial, claiming that it would be too inflammatory for the jury to hear that term. This is an arguably reasonable stance. Had Ms. Bowen claimed on the stand that "he raped me," the statement would likely be inadmissible under the rules of evidence as whether or not a "rape" has occurred is a legal conclusion that only a finder of fact may conclude. If the jury were to hear such testimony, the legally offensive testimony would typically be stricken from the record and the jury would be instructed to ignore the statement. At that point, despite the Judge's instruction, its hard to un-ring that bell. Thus, the preemptory instruction. My friend, who is a criminal attorney here in L.A., assures me that such instructions are routine for all criminal cases. A mugging victim would also be unable to say "he robbed me" for the same reasons.
In any event Ms. Bowen is appealing the judge's order on the theory that the instruction violates her 1st Amendment rights.

Zastava Arms, originally founded in 1853 alongside the production of cannon barrels and howitzers, is a Serbian arms and artillery manufacturer headquartered in Kragujevac, Serbia. With over 150 years of experience in the arms industry and a rich heritage, Zastava Arms states that their philosophy is to not only maintain their place among Europe's top arms manufacturers, but to advance their position by continuing to offer high-quality military, hunting and sporting arms as they always have while improving at every level of their operation. In fact, their ISO 9001 and SNO 9000/05 certifications are a testament to their dedication to providing the best product possible. And speaking of quality products, the Zastava Arms PAP M92 pistol, a Krinkov-style pistol based on the AKM, is one of the manufacturer's most popular firearms.
As noted, the Zastava Arms PAP M92 pistol is a civilian-legal Krinkov-style pistol based on the AKM. Produced by Zastava Arms for importation by Century Arms International, the PAP M92 pistol is a Kalashnikov-patterned pistol with a design based on the Soviet AKM. And because the Zastava Arms PAP M92 pistol is manufactured and sold as a pistol rather than a short-barreled rifle, its 10-inch barrel is in complete compliance with all federal regulations. As such, ownership does not require federal registration; approval from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives or a $200 tax stamp. In other words, buy now or be sorry.
The Zastava Arms PAP M92 pistol, each of which is manufactured in the world-famous Zastava Arms factory, features a hammer forged 10-inch barrel alongside an overall length of 19.3 inches. Its heavy-duty stamped receiver boasts a thickness of one mm and includes a black finish to offer enhanced protection against rust and corrosion as well as increased resistance to wear caused by moving parts. Beautifully stained maple furniture is joined by an ergonomic pistol grip as well as a dual-aperture Krinkov-style rear sight. Other features include a bolt hold-open notch on the selector, a chrome-plated gas piston and a Krinkov-style hinged top cover. All of this is packed into a pistol that weighs just over six pounds. As noted, each Zastava Arms PAP M92 pistol is chambered for the 7.62x39mm cartridge and includes two 30-round magazines.

One of the funnest pistols I've shot and ammo is cheap to boot.
This would be a great sbr and it being serbian is a plus
The best made AK pistol I have ever owned. It is very well made. The fit and finish are phenomenal. If you are a fan of the Yugo M70 version of the AK whether it's the wood stock version or the AB2 like I own. You will love this pistol. The first thing I did to mine was paint the hoagie bun handguard with a textured paint that looks like plastic and I installed a Krink gas booster and retaining pin after getting rid of the stupid thread guard. I have a Midwest Industries metal Quadrail ordered for it. Nothing but the best for a Quality Krink. A lot of owners like to install the triangular folding stock and make it a SBR. It is supposed to have a underfolder like the AB2 but if you put the holes in it for the underfolder it obstructs or actually destroys the serial number. The latest ones produced have had the serial placed in another location so a underfolder can be used. It is a mean looking gun with the Krink gas booster screwed on the end of the barrel. A very nice gun! My Yugo M70AB2 and My M92 are like a matching set.
I was lucky enough to purchase one of these before the last shooting tragedy. When I take it to the range everyone asks me why and can they shoot it. I tell them cause its so much fun and normally yes. This thing is a blast. It is super loud and spews fire like a dragon. It feeds out of any high cap AK mag. Mine has run like a champ so far. Its a 2-3 inch gun at 50yds so you can use it for hunting. Two rivets popped out of mine but I was able to Jerry rig them back in place and have not had any other problems. The safety is pretty stiff and the grip was slick but that was also an easy fix. Great gun to turn into SBR. Plain ole fun!

Lessons from the Sand Castles of our Lives
I love sand castles. I always have. Ever since growing up on the waters of the Potomac River in Virginia have I been enamored with the building….and eventual demise…of my beach creations.
What's funny is that if I were to accurately explain it, my joys growing up were more about creating fortifications for the sand castles. Dams and moats—that was my thing. Call me silly, but there was always something intriguing about building fortifications out of sand and then watching how they were able to stand up to mother nature as the rising tides beat and battered away at them until they were rendered no more—returned back to their original state just beckoning to be molded again into another dam, and another moat, on another day.
As I accompanied my children outside of our Potomac cottage this morning with shovel in hand they each looked at me with peculiar eyes. Once at the beach, my directions were simple. I drew a circle in the sand and told them to build castles—any castle, of any shape, and of any size, within the circle. So as they commenced creating, I started building dams and digging moats to protect the castles from the incoming waves. Within 20 minutes, our creation started to take shape. While my 3 year old Larsen decided the moat would make for a better cool-off spot, my two older kids worked away. Eventually, one questioned our operation-
"When the tide comes in Dad, what will happen to all we've built?"
"It will be washed away."
"So then why are we doing all this if it will just end up being destroyed?"
"Kids, it's not about the sand castle, it's about the experience of building and creating something we're proud of. After that, it doesn't matter what Mother Nature does because we've had a great time during the process."
Needless to say, the kids didn't fully understand…but I certainly hope one day they'll come to appreciate this incredibly important truism.
Too often in life we get caught up in the end-result. Whether it's a monetary number, some type of job title, or maybe a luxury item—such becomes our focus instead of getting as much as possible out of each and every day of this journey.
Am I saying such lofty goals are a bad thing? Of course not. In fact, goals and end-results are awesome. But it's this process of dreaming, building, creating, and working that defines who we are and what we'll eventually become.
So enjoy your days. Cherish the journey. Concern yourself not with 'the end' but rather the profound lessons life is kind enough to bring us each step along the way.
Happy Labor day to all……….

An April Weekend Up North
Posted by Sarah on Jun 15, 2011 Labels: family, photography
We didn't mind the cold and snow the first day...of course we ate great comfort food – Mom never disappoints – and cozied up to the cheery fire. There might've been a couple movies watched and a few card games played.
We walked out to the barn to visit the horses and give them a few treats and the girls stomped around in the slushy snow while the dogs chased sticks.
After being outside in the fresh, chilly air we wandered back inside for snacks and then spent the afternoon playing Legos...well, you know, Amy and I weren't playing; we were helping the girls with assembly. Even Mom got in on the action :)
By Sunday afternoon it was finally warm, sunny and all the snow was gone...but everyone else had to head back to the Cities.

Believe it or not, Bear is four months old! He rolled over from back to front just a couple days before his four month mark and is getting more and more mobile when on the floor. He kicks his legs so he rotates in all directions when on his tummy. He also looks like he's trying to get up on his knees but is just not quite there yet.
I took him to the doctor's this week for his well baby check up and he now weights 14 lbs 7 oz and is 24 3/8 inches long. Talk about a chunker! The doctor said, "It seems to me that Bear is a bit more sturdy than Connor was at this age!" haha! Yeah. He's my little over achiever!
He was doing some grunting and it was cute so here's a little video clip of his talking.
Update... The days are still alive! - I know I know, I am the worst blogger in the universe! But I thought I should at least update and let people know we are all breathing.... We are all doing...

WASHINGTON, March 23 (Reuters) - The U.S. International Trade Commission said on Friday it had determined that silicon metal imports from Australia, Brazil, Kazakhstan and Norway do not harm U.S. producers.
The negative determination in the USITC's final phase antidumping and countervailing duties investigation means duties will be voided.

Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education Pilot Program for Timor-Leste
A brief progress report on activities conducted January – May 2012.
The Mother Tongue‐Based Multilingual Education pilot program is a Ministry of Education initiative aimed at improving learning outcomes at the pre‐school and early grade of primary schooling levels. In February 2011, the National Education Commission's "Language in Education Working Group" launched its "Mother Tongue‐Based Multilingual Education –MTB‐MLE ‐ Policy for Timor‐Leste". The policy had been commissioned some 12 months earlier by the Minister of Education, acknowledging the need for a comprehensive "language in education" policy, clearly rooted in Timor‐Leste's educational and linguistic reality and in international best practice. The policy states that a student's mother tongue should be used as a medium of instruction in pre‐primary education and in the first 4 years of primary schooling, thus enabling children to acquire the fundamental skills of reading and writing in the language they know best. This solid foundation in pre‐ and early literacy skills allows children to transition to the second, third and fourth languages with greater facility and speed. The National Strategic Plan 2011‐ 2030 references the policy's recommendations on Pages 18 and 27 (Social Capital/Pre‐School Education/Social Inclusion). The policy's Implementation Plan recommends an MTB‐MLE pilot program.

These days, there is no reason to have bare or bland walls. There are many options available to dress your walls up with in order to enhance your decor and home.
Having a beautiful image printed onto fine art archival paper and beautifully framed is an investment that will last for a long time.
If you prefer a more modern and contemporary look, then opt for a glass print. A beautiful landscape printed onto a large piece of glass and framed with a modern white ducco frame will transform any room.
Images can also be printed onto canvas in different sizes and shapes, giving you the flexibility and freedom to be creative. A single image can be printed onto three canvases to create a triptych. Or you may opt to fill a wall with images printed onto canvas with frames of varying thickness to create a sense of depth and interest.
The options are endless and the only limitation is your imagination.
To create an amazing impact, choose an image for me to print onto wallpaper and then have it professionally installed for you. The transformation to that room will be incredible.
I offer all my images for sale either as a high-resolution files enabling you to take control of the printing, or as printed products of your choice. I am happy to consult with you to ensure we find the image you will be perfectly happy with.

How the Bookies See It
- Match Winner: Leo Santa Cruz 1/2, Carl Frampton 15/8, the Draw 18/1 – Betfred
- Method of Victory: Santa Cruz by KO 9/4, Santa Cruz by Decision 5/4, Frampton by KO 11/2, Frampton by Decision 7/2 - Ladbrokes
- Fight to Go the Distance: Yes 1/2, No 6/4 – William Hill
- Leo Santa Cruz is the current featherweight world champion, and has previously been the IBF bantamweight and super bantamweight champion. He has won 32 fights from a total of 33 at professional level, and has drawn once. 18 of his wins (56.2%) were achieved by KO.
- Carl Frampton has previously been the WBA (Super) and IBF super-bantamweight champion. He has had 22 professional fights and won all of them, including 14 (63.6%) by KO.
Sports.net's View
It isn't difficult to see why Santa Cruz is odds-on to win this fight, as he has more professional experience than his opponent, with 33 fights to Frampton's 22. Santa Cruz himself is extremely confident, to the point where he has been reported as already talking about becoming champion at multiple higher weights. Whilst confidence is important, too much of it can work against a fighter, and if he underestimates his opponent this Saturday, Frampton is a boxer who will make him pay for the error.
Irish fighter Frampton has a 100% record of success, and will step into the ring in New York with a determination to prove the bookmakers wrong. He beat Scott Quigg in February to win the WBA (super) super-bantamweight title, and before that fight Quigg was unbeaten, so Frampton will take plenty of encouragement from that achievement as he prepares to face Santa Cruz.
We think that this match is much closer than the odds suggest, and with Frampton having a higher percentage of wins by KO, we will side with the Irishman to maintain his winning record at the favourite's expense.
- Sports.net's Top Tip – Carl Frampton to beat Leo Santa Cruz 15/8 – Betfred
*Please note, odds may fluctuate in the lead-up to the fight

After I posted my diatribe against "fair share" stewardship, I roamed around my blogroll to Greg Boyd's. Greg is an evangelical pastor here in the Twin Cities who has become a sort of Wunderkind fuer Christ because he refuses to subvert his solid teaching about Jesus by aligning it with a political agenda -- whether of the right or the left. While he has lost a lot of the members of the congregation he founded, he still preaches to a "megachurch" -- and by preaches, I mean he goes over an hour on occasion. (Clearly, he is not a modern Lutheran.)
His post today deals with greed as a danger inherent to capitalism. On this he speaks irrefutably. What troubles me, and proves a point I made in the last post, is that he begins the post with the claim that it's "difficult" to argue with the claim that capitalism is the best economic system derived in the world -- better than socialism (my pet) and all the others. And my question is this: If for the Christian, greed represents one of the major evidences of a lack of faith (after all, we only store up for ourselves "riches on earth" because we don't believe that God will keep his promises to provide for us), why is an economic system that is premised and built on greed the greatest economic system imaginable? Why will we not go what seems a logical step from the Beatitudes and resist the system that requires that we act on our greed? And if we do so, are we really admitting that capitalism is the best economic system in the world?
I know that socialism is in disrepute (primarily, I'd argue, because communists, Marxist-Leninists, Stalinists, Maoists, and the like have highjacked the name -- though not the fundamental approach), but I cannot look at such places as Norway or Sweden, which are pretty socialist countries (perhaps, democratic socialist is a better term), and feel that the people living there are being oppressed, denied, or anything like that. And, God knows, as countries, they are far better than the models of capitalism when it comes to caring for their people who are in need -- both native to their lands and those from without -- and to giving aid to the rest of the world's needy.
Is maybe part of the problem that capitalism has been identified with Christianity in some sort of perversion of both, and that's why Christian ethical thinkers seem unable to take it on with any verve?
The last think I want to do is to take on a new discipline, but I may have to take up a study of economics to make my point.

If you do take up a study of economics, I strongly recommend Thomas Sowell's Basic Economics. I used it to teach an economics class for homeschoolers and it was excellent.

- Dwight P. said...
Katie, with all due respect, if Sowell's were the only book on the subject, I wouldn't read it. I have found much of what he has written to be unfairly slanted against values that I hold dear, and I frankly don't trust him with anything. That is a pretty biased thing to say, I admit. But the matter of economics is way too value-laden to trust to someone who has proven himself at times, not always, to be little more than a hack for the right wing.

I've always enjoyed working out at this time because the congestion tends to be less, and I can do my workouts faster. Everyone else obviously didn't get the memo that this is my sacred time, and decided to show up and get in my way (I'm only half-joking). I work out at Anytime Fitness, a chain popular due to the fact that you can workout (wait for it)…anytime. Most of the AF's in the Kansas City area are moderately sized; smaller than a Gold's Gym or most 24-Hour Fitness facilities, but larger than a Snap Fitness. The location I have been visiting the most is decently sized and spaced, with about 1000 square feet. The gym, at least during the hours I visit, has a mix of those "training" – working hard, pushing real weight for either physique/bodybuilding competitions, sports, etc., and those who are "working out" – those spending a bulk of their time on the treadmill/elliptical and lifting light weight (note: I'm not knocking either group, just pointing out some differences). The 'training' crowd tends to trend young (under 40) and the working out crowd tends to trend over 40.
This recent explosion of "working out" people made me realize that some people may not know a few common "rules" of using a gym.
1. There are things called supersets (and giant/gauntlet sets). These involve doing one or more lifts in succession, with no breaks in between. There's no check my phone time, look at the TV time, talk to you about your family time…it's lift and then lift! So, if you see someone frantically scrambling between 2 machines/benches, please stay away from them until they are done. Or at the very least, ask the ever present "how many sets do you have left" question.
2. To another point, some people have very little time to spend in the gym. I usually have 45 minutes max to get in, work hard, shower and then drive to work. I don't have the time to stop and talk. I also don't have the time to play on my cell phone and block the machines. Please, if you do these things, take them to an open, out-of-the-way area.
3. Please don't be one of those women who walk in dressed up, ready to catch a man. It's distracting (although eye-pleasing), but ultimately makes you look silly.
4. Please don't be a man coming into the gym in the latest and greatest Under Armour technologically advanced clothing, only to spend your entire time trying to ask me how do you do a bench press, or talking so loud that I can hear your conversations over my favorite theBreax track.
5. Please, please, please don't come in smelling stank!! That goes from liquor to cigarette smoke, to just nasty BO.
6. Don't bother the Personal Trainers when they are with a client. Most of them will ignore you anyways, and they are actually working. Besides that, your fellow gym goer pays good money for that time alone with a trainer.
These are just a few rants from a gym rat. Take the suggestions at your own risk (or ignore them and risk getting a dumbbell thrown at you).
Until next time…

Electron Configurations Continued
Let's see...the fourth element, beryllium (Be), has a second electron in the higher energy level, which means that level now has both a spin up and a spin down. So the next element should begin a third energy level--is that right?
See for yourself. Try clicking on boron (B), the fifth element--you know, the one Bruce Willis was so excited about.
Hey, what's going on? The fifth electron has a slightly higher energy than the other yellow ones, but it's not directly above them; it's in that column labeled "p."
Ah. Do you have any ideas about what might be happening?
Well...my best guess is that the colored rows, pink and yellow, represent the main energy levels, and s, p, and d are like smaller sublevels of them.
Very good. So what do you think is going to happen as you keep going along that row of the periodic table?
Hmm...carbon (C) has a second electron in the p column, so now s and p in the yellow row each have a spin up and a spin down. The next electron must start a whole new energy level, or maybe it goes into the d column, if that's the next higher sublevel.
Sounds very logical...but now look at nitrogen (N).
Hey, the seventh electron went into the p column too! How can there be three with the same energy?
It gets worse. Go on.
Oxygen (O), fluorine (F), neon (Ne)--more electrons just keep getting stuffed into that same state. What happened to the exclusion principle? This makes no sense at all!
It makes perfect sense, once you know the rules.

Breaching Snake River Dams
by Editorial Board
The latest proposal by the federal government to spur salmon recovery should be given a chance to work.
It is not a certainty that breaching the four dams on the lower Snake River would guarantee the long-term survival of salmon.
Yet, a few people are convinced that dam breaching is the cure-all for the salmon problem and they have mounted a steady, relentless campaign to bring the dams down. In their minds, breaching the dams is the answer.
And this obsession with dam breaching causes them to reject any and all federal proposals for salmon restoration that don't include taking down dams.
Unfortunately, U.S. District Judge James Redden seems to be among them. Redden ruled in 2004 that the Bush administration's plan for making the hydroelectric generation system on the Snake and Columbia rivers safe for salmon violated the Endangered Species Act. Redden takes exception to the plan because it considered dams as part of the landscape and makes only changes in how the dams were operated. Last month the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Redden's ruling.
And that spawned a new federal plan for salmon recovery.
That plan was quickly blasted by salmon advocates and Indian tribes for not considering breaching or major changes to the dams.
Come on!
Breaching the dams would significantly reduce power production, force a significant change to irrigation systems and prohibit barge transportation to Idaho. It would put a lot of the region under water. And it would take an economic toll on the Pacific Northwest.
Dam breaching would not necessarily ensure the survival of salmon. This is why it is prudent to consider other actions to enhance the salmon population.
Any plan to restore salmon is simply a guess. They all involve trial and error, which means it is wise to consider the impact the plans will have on society, not just salmon.
This is what is being done.
Breaching the dams must be an action of last resort.
In 2001 the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issued a study on breaching the Snake River dams. It concluded that breaching the dams would increase the chances of salmon restoration only slightly - if at all - while certainly hurting the Northwest's economy.
The plan being put forward to restore salmon might work, it might not. But it should be given a chance. It's a far more reasonable approach than demanding the dams be taken down.

GILA COUNTY — Dorine Prine loves doing taxes. Prine, Gila County's Community Action Program Administrator, has been a driving force behind growing the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program in Gila County.
In its eighth year in Gila County, VITA provides free tax preparation and filing for residents whose household income is $54,000 or less. VITA helps keep Gila County tax refund dollars in the county. By providing fast, free tax prep, VITA also makes the "quick refund" services offered by predatory lenders a whole lot less appealing. Prine explains that VITA got started in Gila County when Community Services Director Malissa Buzan saw a need in the community for tax prep for low income residents. Because Prine had experience doing taxes, it was a natural fit.
Prine and other IRS-certified volunteers will start preparing returns in mid-January at Gila County CAP Offices in Payson and Globe. The Hayden-Winkelman VITA site at the Hayden Senior Center will be open for appointments the first week of February. Prine points out that this year the IRS will not issue refunds for anyone getting Earned Income Tax Credits (EITC) or Child Tax Credits (CTC) until Feb. 15 due to the PATH Act, a federal law designed to cut down on fraud. However, Prine says that residents expecting to receive EITC or CTC should still file as early as possible.
For Prine, working with people to file their taxes goes far beyond the hour-or-so appointment. She sees doing someone's taxes as an opportunity to help. "Taxes are very difficult for people, but I try to make it easy and fun," she says. Prine has 25 years of experience with tax preparation and has the knowledge to help people make their taxes work for them. She ensures clients take advantage of all the deductions they can, even the lesser known ones.
Buying Girl Scout Cookies, for example, is a deduction that a lot of people miss.
"We want to be able to give everyone the maximum amount of their refund," she says.
"If someone wants a bigger refund, I talk to them about what to do next year to be able to get it," says Prine. When she works with a client to file their taxes, she's always looking ahead to the next year to see what could be done differently to give them a leg up and cut down on surprises. For example, she might suggest that a single parent who is eligible for the EITC and the CTC might reduce their withholding. Although it may bring down the person's refund slightly, it could give them more money during the year when they need it.
"I'm happy to counsel people to let them know what to do for next year," says Prine. She's also quick to remind folks that she's available year-round. She'd rather talk to people during the year so that they don't have sticker shock later on. If you're filling out a new W-4 and need someone to ask about withholding and exemptions, Prine is there. "We can do this year round," says Prine. "If you don't understand something I'll explain it you in your language, not IRS language," says Prine.
She estimates that an average tax preparation fee is around $250. Many establishments will take that amount out of a person's refund. Having your taxes prepared and filed by VITA is completely free. "If somebody gave you $250, what would you do?" asks Prine. "Buy propane? Pay your heating bill?" Last year alone, VITA saved Gila County residents over $140,000 dollars in tax preparation fees.
She explains that this savings is particularly important for folks receiving the EITC and CTC. "These tax credits are really so important because they help lift people out of poverty," says Prine. "It's essential that we get folks every penny that they have coming to them so they can put it toward emergency savings, childcare, or transportation to get to and from a job." Last year, Gila County VITA sites prepared and filed 562 returns, bringing $788,661 federal and state refund dollars to Gila County. Prine is constantly working to grow those numbers.
She is especially proud of the fact that she and other VITA tax preparers in Gila County are able to give clients a high level of individualized attention. "Other tax prep sites, you're in and you're out," says Prine. At the same time, they're able to pull people away from high-interest, rapid refund loans that can come along with hidden fees. "We can give folks the full amount of their refunds in about ten days," says Prine. "It gives people a lot more money in their pockets."
To make an appointment for VITA tax preparation call Community Services at 928-425-7631.

|Be Still My Heart!
(vintage collection, those were the days)
|These stencil examples are repeated to look like wallpaper. I want this one on the wall behind my bed!
Oo-la-la baby!
|These would be so fun in an entry area, a hallway, a wall in a room, the bathroom, your office, ANYWHERE. Something unexpected where the usual is expected. I dare ya.
|Go on, pick a stencil, any stencil. Be daring! You can stencil anything. If a wall is too much get some foam core board, stencil on it in some wild colors and hang it on your wall.
|Pick some colors, any colors. You only need a tester jar of paint. Be daring and pick unexpected colors for the design. For instance the toile designs above and below would be a real surprise in an orange or chartreuse.

First things first … still no news on Baby #3 … still being limited to Braxton Hicks.
The plan on Sunday was gardening. I will declare now that I defiantly do not have "Green Fingers". My approach to gardening is for Mrs Geek to point at which bush or hedge she wants me to
attack cut back and let the battle commence.
And digging. I am good at digging (having removed silly amounts of soil from both of my last to houses, it was one of the requirements of this house that I did not need to do so again)
However, after about 5 minutes of battle, I decided that it was way to hot to be working in the garden and that we should high tail it to go play in a river.
Over the past few weeks, any hint of sun has found us trekking down to one river or another. Thankfully we live about 5 minutes from the Ribble Valley and the Forest of Bowland. So we made our way to Dinckley and we spent the day swimming in the River Ribble. Well, me and the kids did, Mrs Geek sat on the river bank holding the fort and looking radiant.
I don't know how we would while away the sunny Sundays if it were not for my children's obsession with water.
We ended up leaving at 4pm in order to get them to their swimming lessons. I'm sure the logic to that is in there somewhere 🙂
Alas, Mrs Geek did not forget about the garden, so that is how I ended up spending Sunday evening digging up bushes and trimming hedges (I must be a real hit with the neighbours).

Most Overrated Thomas and Friends Charactersderpyunikitty
The Top Ten
Thomas will always have a special place in my heart. However, that doesn't mean I don't get sick of him ocassionaly. Thomas recently has been over glorified with his many appearances in episodes and specials. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that Thomas should be cut from the show (which would NEVER happen), but he needs to be toned down. I'd rather see characters such as Edward, Murdoch, Toby, and other minor characters make more appearances. Thomas has a good story, but there really isn't much to add, plus, does he really have to appear ALL THE TIME? Look at The Great Race, by having the story around Thomas, it was, well, "Meh! ". I would love personally to see a special surrounding Edward, maybe start with him as a young engine and progress to the future? Now THERE is an idea for a special! All the same, I'd like to see other unbaked characters get more development, let Thomas sit on the back burner for a while. He does have an interesting story, but there could be a lot more ...more

Education and Career Guidance
Education and Career Guidance (ECG) is about equipping pupils with the necessary knowledge, skills and values to make informed decisions at each key education stage for successful transition from school to further education or work, and hence to manage their career pathways and lifelong learning throughout their lives. Through ECG, social emotional competencies and qualities of proactivity, adaptability and resilience are developed to prepare pupils for the 21st Century.
To provide opportunities for pupils to develop career awareness, self-awareness of strengths and interests and explore educational pathways in Singapore
In exploring pupil's inclination towards certain occupation and pathways, it would be useful to understand the 8 different types of intelligences.
The ECG portal (www.ecareers.sg) has been developed to engage pupils in career development activities. The professional site within the ECG portal provides resources for teaching, training and development, programme planning, and usage monitoring.
Our pupils went on a learning journey to KidZania on Thursday, 26 May 2016, which aims to
- Inculcate an appreciation for all types of careers and how they contribute to the well-functioning of society through role playing; and
- Equip students with skills and means to positively engage their parents and other career influencers.
The curriculum for Education & Career Guidance (ECG) is delivered during the weekly FTGP lessons. Form teachers use interactive ways to guide pupils to explore their work values, exposing them to over 80 occupations in Singapore and discover their aspirations. Pupils are given opportunities to enrich what they have learnt during ECG day; a yearly event where talks by professionals are held and activities planned for the pupils.
