ROCHESTER — Looking back at the real estate numbers in Strafford County for 2012, the Rochester Times was able to report that the tide had turned, and that after six years of decline from the 2005 peak, activity, as measured by deeds and mortgages, had picked up.
Now the latest figures from New Hampshire Association of Realtors® (NHAR) show that 2013 is off to a good start, with January figures, especially in Strafford County, where both the median sale price and the number of residences sold, is up compared to a year ago.
In January 2013, the median sale price for a home in Strafford County was $185,000, which is a jump of $24,000 or 14.9 percent, from January 2012. NHAR also points out that the number of Strafford County homes sold in January was 81, compared to 60 in January 2012, a jump of 35 percent.
As the accompanying charts show, unit sales in January increased in nine of the state's 10 counties, with Strafford County's increase being above the state average of 21.2 percent.
The median sale price, however, fell over the year, in six out of 10 counties, and along with the northern counties of Coos and Grafton, only Strafford showed a significant increase. The average change, across the state, was a 2.7 percent drop in price. As the chart shows, the neighboring counties of Rockingham and Belknap, showed price drops and Carroll County was only up marginally.
The sales volume in New Hampshire in January, NHAR reported, meant that the total dollars exchanged in those sales, was 11 percent above that number in 2012 — $174.6 million compared to $156.9 million.
"As we said throughout the upturn in 2012, steady gains are part of a process, and while the news is certainly encouraging, we envision this as a slow, deliberate recovery," said 2013 NHAR President Bill Weidacher, a 30-year veteran of the real estate industry and a managing broker at Keller Williams Metropolitan Realty in Bedford.
"We're not looking at the skyrocketing market of the early 2000s, when we saw over 100 percent appreciation in seven years, nor would we want to," Weidacher said. "A healthy market is based on sustainable growth, not a manic boom."
Weidacher also pointed to a decrease in housing inventory that has begun to create a more balanced market, in contrast to the strong buyers' market of recent years. December and January showed the fewest available units since NHAR began tracking inventory in 2006.
"If you are a potential seller waiting to put your home on the market, now might be the time to stop waiting," Weidacher added. "There's simply less competition out there than there has been in at least six years."
Rochester realtor Bill Cormier of Hourihane and Cormier agreed.
"It's getting busier out there all the time. When the snow melts and the sun comes out, happy days will be here again," he joked.
Cormier said that he didn't read too much into the median sale price figures of January 2013, which showed then 14.9 percent increase over the 12-month period. He pointed out that it just takes a few sales at the high end of the market — homes going for $300,000 and more — to create a swing, when only one month's unit sales are considered.
Nonetheless, based on his 40 years of experience with real estate cycles, Cormier said, "I think we are in a sustained recovery, and right now people can get a 30-year mortgage at 4 percent, give or take."
An NHAR table shows that in August of 2006 the median selling price for a home in New Hampshire was at its peak — $274,400, whereas in January 2013, it had fallen to $192,750. (The nadir was in February 2012, when the median selling price was $179,900.)
This helps to explain the continuing role that foreclosures are playing in the property market. Many homeowners who obtained a mortgage near the peak of the market, find the values of their homes today are less than the mortgages that they owe, and yet their monthly payments are high, having locked into interest rates that were significantly higher than at present.
Strafford County Registrar of Deeds Dennis Vachon said that in January 2013, there were 31 foreclosures registered at his office, compared to 24 in January of 2012.
"This has a cooling effect on prices," he said.
Some homeowners, whose financial circumstances allow it, are remortgaging their homes at lower interest rates, thus making their monthly payments more affordable.
This trend is also reflected in Vachon's monthly numbers: 491 (re)mortgages recorded in January 2013 compared to 359 in January 2012.
With all this activity at the Registry of Deeds, Vachon reports that in January 2013, $655,740 was collected in real estate transfer tax (which mostly goes to the state, rather than the county) compared to $459,983 collected in January 2012.
With regard to the median sale price being currently some $80,000 below the 2006 peak, Cormier predicted that as the market continues its slow recovery, that peak will eventually be surpassed.
"Every time that a recovery really takes hold, prices get right back up," he said.

Theme: Grow in your walk with God every day!
For moms with kids in school, the most hectic months of the year are usually September and May. The end of the school year involves parties, playoffs, and final projects. The beginning of the year has moms and kids feeling overloaded with shopping trips, sign-ups, and new schedules.
Establishing healthy, positive routines is a tough job. Too often, music lessons, sports practices, and after-school clubs can overshadow the routines that build family and healthy habits—both physically and spiritually.
One of the great new Adventures in Odyssey products released this year is 90 Devotions for Kids, aimed at kids 8 to 12. This soft-cover book draws you in with illustrations, puzzles, and kid-friendly applications. It also includes a daily Bible verse, daily challenges, words of encouragement from different AIO characters, and more. Even if your kids aren't already Adventures in Odyssey fans, they'll enjoy these daily devotionals, and get to know the Odyssey crew along the way.
This devotional, and the edition coming this fall (90 Devotions for Kids: Life Changing Values from the Book of Matthew) are great tools to help your kids put a regular pause in their day for Bible reading, prayer, and thoughts about God. If you start now—by the first day of school, you'll already have a spiritual component scheduled into your kids' routine. After that, everything else will hopefully just fall into line!

And please check out the ACTS challenge contest going on right now:
To celebrate the Summer of Service challenge, Tyndale has generously offered to let me giveaway a copy of 90 Devotions for Kids to a lucky winner.

Manatee Board of County Commissioners today approved the concept of a two-lane Fort Hamer Bridge that Manatee County Public Works Department says can be built for less than $30 million.
On a 6-1 vote, the board directed Public Works to return in three months with a set of criteria for the bridge to be designed and built through the public bidding process. The new plan eliminates the need for a six-lane, $130 million toll span to connect roadways across the Upper Manatee River.
Public Works Director Ron Schulhofer proposed the scaled-down version of the bridge — two lanes instead of six — that will accommodate East County traffic for several years until the bridge needs to be widened to four lanes.
"(A two-lane bridge) would put the least impact as possible on environment," Schulhofer said. "It would be less intrusive on neighbors. It's financially feasible and local folks could (build) it."
Once complete, the brdige could shorten drive times by as much as seven minutes for emergency responders delivering patients from North Manatee to Manatee Memorial Hospital or Lakewood Ranch Medical Center.
Schulhofer said the work could be done for less because fewer lanes are planned; construction costs for materials are lower and because competition between bidders will ensure a lower price.
"I've always said we need a bridge to diversify our road system," said County Commissioner Ron Getman, a former Florida Highway Patrol officer.
Construction of the bridge eventually will be put out for a competitive bid, but County staffers believe the work can be done for about $28.4 million.
For more information on Fort Hamer Bridge, call Manatee County Public Works Department at 708-7480 or click on Public Works under the Departments tab online at www.mymanatee.org.

Frances Stark and David Kravitz during the Seven on Seven work day. Photo: Ed Singleton.
The fifth anniversary edition of Rhizome's Seven on Seven took place on Saturday. The project pairs seven leading artists with seven influential technologists in teams of two, and challenges them to develop something new–whatever they choose to imagine—over the course of a single day. The results were unveiled to the public on Saturday at the New Museum, and are recapped here.
In the keynote, Kate Crawford suggested that K-Hole's #normcore trend report, as well as the Snowden-leaked GCHQ Powerpoint, could be read as manifestations of the anxieties of an age of mass surveillance, those of the surveillers and those of the surveilled.

Immunogenicity prediction
Immunogenicity prediction is an important means to control the safety of protein drugs, which can be recognized by the patient's immune system as foreign, inducing an adaptive immune response that can cause significant toxicity. We are developing approaches in which the immunogenicity of proteins can be assessed in vitro using protein engineering tools.

It is appropriate to both acknowledge and dismiss the old when starting something new, but a Cadillac dealer in Texas took this to an extreme by using an Eisenhower-era Caddy to break ground on their new building.
On 11/11/11 at 11:11, the owners of the famously unconventional Frank Kent Cadillac dropped a 1953 Cadillac sedan fifty feet from a crane nose-first into the Texas topsoil. Picked to honor the year Kent acquired its Cadillac franchise, the vintage sedan apparently suffered a bashed nose but the main structure held up rather well.
Attendees of the groundbreaking and the building's construction workers are to sign the rear of the bulky relic, which will then be buried nose-first on the new dealership grounds in an echo of Cadillac Ranch in nearby Amarillo.
It may be a sad waste to use a perfectly drivable (and seriously cool) classic car for such a purpose, but maybe by inoculating the ground with the spirit of a real Cadillac they're hoping to grant their new showroom some of the marque's old-school grandeur with new vehicles, so hopefully enough progress will be made so that a repeat ritual is unnecessary.

Prep time: 20 minutes
Cooling time: 30 minutes to 1 hour
Way to grill: direct medium heat (350° to 450°F)
Grilling time: 5 to 7 minutes
Special equipment:perforated grill pan
How to Make It
Using a vegetable peeler remove wide strips of yellow zest from the lemon. Put them in a small saucepan with the oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Cook over low heat until the oil simmers. Let simmer for about 2 minutes, and then remove the saucepan from the heat. Let the oil cool and steep for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Remove and discard the stem ends from the green beans. Pile the beans into a large bowl.
Remove and discard the lemon zest and garlic from the oil. Using the sharp blade and the side of a knife, chop and crush the vitamin C tablets into a powder. Add the powder and ½ teaspoon salt to the oil. Mix well.
Prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium heat. Preheat the grill pan over direct medium heat for about 10 minutes.
Pour the oil mixture over the green beans. Toss the green beans over and over again to make sure they are well coated.
Using tongs lift the green beans from the bowl and shake off any excess oil, letting it fall back into the bowl. Spread the green beans on the grill pan in a single layer. Grill over direct medium heat, with the lid closed as much as possible, until browned in spots and crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally.
Remove the green beans from the pan. Season to taste with salt and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Serve warm.

The dumbest headline is sitting at the top of PEOPLE.com today (7am ET):
What are the possible answers to this riddle?
Johnny Depp proposed to Amber Heard because:
-He hates her
No, no. It can't be that.
Johnny Depp proposed to Amber Heard because:
-He's bored
OK. Possible. But would they actually publish that story? PEOPLE?
Let's try again. Johnny Depp proposed to Amber Heard because:
-He's a 50 year old cliché.
That's my choice, but I promise you it's not the angle the magazine is taking.
So Johnny Depp proposed to Amber Heard because…
-"She's a great match for him and his individuality. She's a free spirit." This according to a "source" close to Depp.
Johnny Depp now has to resort to sending out his "sources" to plant details about his personal life in weekly magazines – what is this? That's a reality show star move. That's a Tori Spelling and KFed Jr move. That's a f-cking Kardashian move. This is the world now. Jordan Catalano is about to win an Oscar and Johnny Depp is a Kardashian.

Did you know that it's National Cancer Survivors Day today? I had no idea until recently, but really – what a fantastic thing to celebrate! With all the horrible things that come up in the news, doesn't it feel good to celebrate something as happy and positive as kicking cancer's butt? I think so.
SO… In honor of National Cancer Survivors Day, I wanted to share Heather Von St. James story. She is a 9-year survivor of a very rare and deadly form of cancer called mesothelioma.
Heather works tirelessly to spread awareness for this little-known cancer and the dangers of asbestos, so please read more about her and mesothelioma below – or even better, head over to Heather's website to learn more, lend your support, and to watch a very touching video of Heather and her family.
THEN, because we all love free stuff (right?!), I've created some new iPhone wallpapers in honour of National Cancer Survivors Day – yay! They'll be available at the end of the post :)
Mesothelioma is a rare and deadly form of cancer, caused by exposure to asbestos – a building material used in the 70's and 80's. It has since become known for being potentially lethal if the dust is inhaled (and thankfully has been banned in Australia for quite a few years now) however in the US and Canada it's still used in some building materials (!!).
Heather's Story
Heather was diagnosed with mesothelioma in 2005, after having inhaled asbestos dust from her Father's work jacket when she was a child. It's a very agressive form of cancer, and will normally take a person's life within the first year of diagnosis. Incredibly, Heather had her left lung removed in order to save her life, and has now been cancer-free for 9 years! Amazing :)
While I was watching the video on Heather's website, I noticed that she talks a lot about hope, and says that "with hope, the odds don't matter", which I thought was a lovely sentiment. So, in honour of Heather, and of all the amazing cancer survivors out there I've created 4 free "Hope" iPhone wallpapers for you to download.
HOPE STRENGTH LOVE: iPhone 6 | iPhone 5
BLOOM IN BLUE: iPone 6 | iPhone 5
HOPE: iPhone 6 | iPhone 5
BLOOM IN PINK: iPone 6 | iPhone 5
If you do download and use them, be sure to send a thought to all the brave people out there who have beaten this awful disease :)

Denise has over 30 years of interior design experience and, to hear her tell it, she's loved every minute. "There's something different everyday. No two homes are ever the same, and no two clients ever have the same needs or tastes, which makes this work very fun and exciting."
Working at the Washington Design Center after graduation, Denise gained a wealth of knowledge on the wholesale end of design. She worked for Stroheim & Romann, a high-end decorative fabric showroom. Before coming to Bountiful, Denise honed her skills at several other top design firms in the region.
Chesapeake Views, Cottage Journal, and Home & Design are a few of the publications in which Denise's work has been featured. She is also the "go to" designer for any home staging projects. Whether requested by home owner or real estate agent, Denise's talent for making a home feel warm and inviting often lights the spark for potential buyers, helping to make the sale.

He and his team are also responsible for the ever-changing face of Bountiful. Whether it's adding yet another coat of paint to the walls or helping the staff create interesting, new displays, you'll find him in the middle of it.
There's little down time for Marty. When he's not at Bountiful, he's working for UPS. Whatever spare time he has is devoted to working on a graphic novel. There are never enough hours in the day for all of the reading, writing and drawing that he really wants to do.
Debbie began her career in flooring 29 years ago at Leon Brown's Flooring in Seaford, Delaware. She also worked at Home Works in Bethany Beach and most recently at Home Beautiful Carpet One in Easton. Debbie works hard to stay abreast with the latest flooring products and applications.

Barbara came to Bountiful 10 years ago after moving to Easton from Washington DC. Over her long career, she has worked as a flight attendant, taught school, and started her own business, a children's consignment shop. The majority of Barbara's career was spent in health related positions. She worked in George Washington University's Lipid Research Clinic and spent 10 years as a recruiter for the Women's Health Initiative Study.

After graduating from the University of Virginia, she spent 25 years on Wall Street as an institutional equities sales trader. When she left New York she headed for the Eastern Shore and to Bountiful, where she has worked since 2004. Martha's community involvement includes five years spent as a coordinator for Food Link of Talbot County, an organization that links grocery stores and restaurants to the area's food pantries.
Paula's experience with home furnishings and interior design began 25 years ago when she began working for POSH Interiors in Great Falls, VA and at Reston Town Center.
While with POSH she worked as a merchandiser, buyer, and store manager. Paula understands how the home furnishings industry works and is always eager to help customers explore all the options Bountiful has to offer. Outside of work, Paula is involved with her church and volunteers with the St. Vincent de Paul Society.
About fifteen years ago, customers at Bountiful, Jamie Merida's trendy, Easton, Maryland home furnishings store, began to request—forcefully request—his help with their interior design projects. Merida was a bit puzzled. The shop had no design studio and he no formal interior design training. Intrigued and flattered, he decided to give it a go, throwing himself headlong and talent-first into the effort.
Today, Merida's design portfolio features high end homes and vacation residences in Maryland, Virginia, Florida, New York, Idaho, and Europe as well as a roster of commercial commissions which have included venerable hotels, restaurants, and professional office space. "Responding to a broad range of clients needs really is exciting," he says. "You can never coast when you're faced with new design challenges all of the time."
Carol Wheeler joined our design team in February 2016. She came to us after spending over 25 years as a successful designer in New England and our own Eastern Shore. Prior to joining Bountiful, she worked at Jean McHale Design and Wright's Interiors in Easton.
Carol is an accomplished and versatile designer who is comfortable working collaboratively with clients in residential, commercial and nonprofit environments. She attributes her comfort with all types of clients to her commitment to collaborative design.
"Collaboration is key and I really listen to my clients so I can design around their needs," Carol says. "Interior design is like a jigsaw puzzle where all of the pieces—style, color, function and budget—need to fit together perfectly."
Amanda came to Bountiful after moving to the Eastern Shore from Philadelphia where she ran her own successful design firm. Prior to that, she worked as the lead designer in a New Jersey firm that specialized in custom yachts.
We're proud of the fact that her peers have repeatedly recognized the quality of Amanda's work. She has given design seminars in New York, Connecticut, the British Virgin Islands, and on Nantucket. Her interiors have also been published in several yachting magazines.
Amanda began her career in fine arts working with legends like Roy Lichtenstein and Robert Rauschenberg. She says: "They taught me how to see and think like an artist. They used traditional elements in nontraditional ways in their art. I continue to apply this technique to my interior design work, which I see as creating three-dimensional art."

Hertogenbosch (Noord-Brabant, Netherlands)
's Hertogenbosch (Den Bosch), capital of the Dutch province of North Brabant (1953 pop. 61,143; largely Roman Catholic; only a few Mennonites; 2007 pop. 136,499), was in the 16th century a center of Anabaptism. Bartel Boeckbinder and Leentgen Hendricksz, who were executed because of Anabaptism, were natives of 's Hertogenbosch. About 1538 there was a congregation, of which Paulus van Drunen was an elder. Eight members of this congregation, including van Drunen, were put to death in September 1538 or 1539 at Vught near 's Hertogenbosch, but in later times also there was a congregation. About 1544 there was here some activity of the adherents of Jan van Batenburg and of David Joris. Magdalena from Waterland (near Amsterdam), a follower of David Joris, was executed at Vught on 14 August 1544. Elder Gillis van Aken performed baptism here in the home of a shoemaker in June 1545. According to the confession of Jan van Sol in 1550 Hughe Matthyszoon had preached in 's Hertogenbosch; Leenaert Bouwens baptized 35 persons here in 1557‑1561 and 32 in 1563‑1565. In December 1569 or January 1570 on his journey from Flanders to Cologne the Elder Hans Busschaert visited 's Hertogenbosch. The congregation still existed but was in a rather sad condition as he states in his letter of 29 January 1570, to Antwerp. Soon after it must have disappeared.
Since 1944 there has been a Mennonite fellowship (Kring) of 30 members at 's Hertogenbosch‑Vught, served by the preacher of Eindhoven. Services were held usually monthly in the Lutheran church. There was also a ladies' circle.

The day that we got back into town from Mexico, we went to Mom's house so that we could see her sisters that were down here visiting, ViAnne, Johanna, & Clara. It was so fun to get to chat & see them- they are all such sweet ladies & amazing examples of sisters/ mothers!
The next morning I went to girls camp with my ward. Well technically, we did a service project in town & then went to Camp LoMia the next morning. Anyway, on Wednesday we went to the temple at 6:30 am & did service projects. my group were 1st years and we got to pull weeds/ plant flowers around the temple grounds- it was a beautiful morning & a really fun experience!
Like I said before, the next day we headed up to camp & were there for 2 nights/ 3 days. It was fun... EXHAUSTING... but fun! My girls are all very sweet & the other cabin moms/ stake staff from my ward that were there are all awesome! I had a blast visiting with them & getting to know them better (& laughing until we cried over stupid things because we were so tired)!!
Eileen took the boys to Show Low with her after Mexico & watched them while I was at camp. They both got sick while they were up there (poor Eileen!) and she brought them to Payson on the last day of camp so we wouldn't have to drive all the way to Show Low. They both had strep throat & Roman had an ear infection :( no fun! Thankfully, antibiotics work wonders & they were both feeling better in no time!
They started swim lessons this week... the first day was rough for both of them! They both cried through most of their lesson. The 2nd day, Roman did MUCH better & has done great ever since! He's a good little swimmer, just needs to work on getting his technique down a little better :)
Sterling, on the other hand, HATES it! He screams throughout his entire lesson & tries to flee the water any chance he can get! I'm hoping he'll get more comfortable over these next couple weeks, it's so sad to see him so upset!

27833R Infra-red eye allows you to watch and control a Sky Digibox from another room the indicator light shows remote control operation. Philex Accessory Remote Eye for Sky & Freeview Remotes SLx Sky
The SLX Link works by picking up the remote control signal from your Sky remote in your bedroom via the little eye, converting the infra red pulses to electronic pulses, sending the electronic pulses down the cable to the Sky receiver.
The receiver will accept the electronic pulses only at RF out 2 and they then pass through the same circuit as the remote receiver eye that is on the front of your digibox
SLXLINK system is the easy way to distribute high quality digital pictures plus normal off air channels, the tvLINK function built within the Sky digital receiver to control the digital receiver from a different room.
850mm lead between main unit and the 'Magic Eye'
LED indicator
It operates between the RF2 output on a satellite receiver (from which it receives the 9Vdc it needs to power it) and an additional TV.
Watch and control your digital satellite from any television with this ingenious ONE FOR ALL Sky 150 tvLINK.
The Sky 150 tvLINK sits on top of the television in your bedroom, office or other remote viewing point and sends remote control signals to the SKY digital receiver in the lounge through the same coaxial cable that delivers SKY pictures to your main TV.
Simple to install, all you need to do is to pick up your remote control and the ONE FOR ALL Sky 150 tvLINK gives you the freedom to channel surf from the convenience of any of your preferred TV watching location!

Allows you to connect a Sky HD box (that doesn't have a RF2 outpout) to a coaxial cable distribution set up. So you can send the output from your Sky box to other rooms in the home.

If you've read this blog for any length of time, you will notice that many of the regular readers who write in often ask for prayer from all who are reading. It has always been my goal to keep this blog about my struggle with chronic pain a non-sectarian, open one. I want all who visit here because they also struggle each day to feel welcome.
Faith, to me, is totally apart from the church you attend, the version of Holy Book you read or the set of doctrines you live by. Faith and belief constitute a journey. It's a very personal journey and one each human experiences, whether they know they are traveling or not. To have faith in a Power greater than yourself or not to have faith; these are choices. As part of the free will we are given when we are born, we can choose to believe or we can choose to think it's all hooey.
I've always found it interesting that almost all of us cry out God's name when we are blessed, when we are troubled, or when we are in the throes of grief. When a lost child is found in the woods, the parents exclaim, "Thank God you are safe." In the throes of passion many individuals cry out, "Oh God, oh God." Angry parents when chastising naughty children say, "God help me."
I have discovered over my somewhat protracted life (which is my not too subtle way of saying I'm getting old) that faith in life has little to do with the church, synagogue, or mosque one attends and more to do with the individual's character. Faith sits in one's heart and mind and dictates our behavior, our actions toward others and ourselves. We've all known individuals who sit in the front pew at church on Sunday and considerate it good business to cheat their fellow man in business the other six days of the week. Most of us have known the occasional church member or leader who was unfaithful in marriage, brutal in parenting, or dishonest in business. Some have watched and used this behavior of others as an excuse to lose their own faith. We've all heard remarks like, "Oh I know him, and if he's a deacon at that church then I want no part of it." Still others have said, "Oh, the people at that synagogue are just out for money." Looking to others and using their behavior as a basis for our own faith is always a foolish idea. Faith is as personal as loving.
Faith is a very intimate, private emotion, action, and lifestyle. Its power cannot be overstated. As a nurse I've seen patients who, tired of the rigors of pain and suffering, have decided it was time to die and did just that. One was my own father. After suffering numerous illnesses and many fractures of the vertebral spine from huge doses of prednisone for a rheumatoid condition, he didn't want to endure any more and he didn't want to put my mother through anymore caregiving. He simply said, when asked about going to a convalescent home, "Take me back to the hospital and it will all be okay. You'll see." He died a few days later. This was the same man who told me, my entire life, "You can be anything in this world you want to be." His death was many years ago and I often think of all the new drugs which could help him today that were not available then.
Since he was a man of profound faith in this world, he also had immense faith in the next and never feared death.
Each of us use faith every day whether we know it or not. We have a certain amount of faith when we start our car; turn on a light switch, or walk down a flight of stairs. We believe these actions will bring positive results. We find our daily fears are often challenged by our health and suffering, and perhaps call upon our faith, hope, and trust more than many healthy individuals need to. In many ways that makes us very blessed and fortunate. Did I really say that? If I had to choose between a superficial, painless, shallow existence and the one I have suffered for the last 23 years, which one would I choose? Does anyone willingly walk into a blazing inferno? Actually, they do. We saw it many times on 9/11 in New York City as firefighter after dedicated firefighter went in to do his job.
Those of us who live with chronic pain and daily disease have been shaken, wracked, and changed to a great extent, but that doesn't mean we have to lose our faith. It is our lifeline to hope and courage as we fight the fight and live the best life possible for ourselves and those we love. Our faith can open doors or imagination, mold profound relationships we never thought possible, and take us to depths of discovery and even joy we thought were beyond our grasp. Keep the faith, my dears, keep the faith.

Last week we invited our friends to submit a haiku in return for a $200 credit toward climbing the great mountain this summer. With 5 syllables, Kilimanjaro simply *invites* haiku, (you know, 5/7/5) and we had gotten a bit silly around the office thinking about it ourselves (more on that later).
We started with my colleague Bryan's version: Going back to school? // Need one more adventure first? // Kilimanjaro!
Frankly I was downright astounded at the fabulous response we received – even from those with apparently no interest in the summit! Allow me to share…
These 3 are from Jessica in CA, who traveled on Thomson adventure to China with her family a few years ago when she was but a child.
Stark, soaring majesty
above vast, wild savannah
Imposing mount
rising above the wildlife
alone, together
The trail winds higher
breathlessly ascending
to vistas of Eden
Then, from April Dunn:
Now my Haiku is complete
That is a long word!
And an awesome submission from Michael Katz:
Geez, it's so damn high
But still, I'd like to see it
Time to pack my bags
Feel inspired? Send us your own Haiku, and thanks for playing!

The Coridanites were a humanoid species from the dilithium-rich Federation planet Coridan, in the Alpha Quadrant. (ENT: "Shadows of P'Jem"; TOS: "Journey to Babel"; DIS: "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad")
The Coridanites traded with the Orions for centuries prior to 2155. (ENT: "Demons")
In 2151, Coridan had a population of three billion, with the majority living in several cities in the equatorial region. The capital city was surrounded by a shanty town, and there were almost as many bio-signs outside the city as there were within it. The planet was known for having the largest shipyards in its sector, building advanced warp-capable vessels, some of which were rumored to reach warp 7. However, the planet was also embroiled in an internal conflict between the government, backed by the Vulcan High Command, and rebel forces, secretly supported by the Andorian Empire. The Vulcan agenda was to keep the planet's chancellorship stable while the Tau Ceti Accords prohibited any Andorian presence on the planet, which in turn assured Coridan's dilithium exports to Vulcan. (ENT: "Shadows of P'Jem")
Chancellor Kalev invited Captain Jonathan Archer and T'Pol of the NX-class Enterprise to visit the planet, but they were captured by rebels and held for ransom. As a result, a commando force led by Sopek, the Vulcan senior officer of the sector, as well as the Andorian Imperial Guard, led by Shran, who was thereby violating the Tau Ceti Accords, came to assist the rescue. (ENT: "Shadows of P'Jem")
In 2152, Coridanites were represented at an Interspecies Medical Exchange conference on Dekendi III. At one point, the "Coridan Genome Conference" was rescheduled to 1400 hours and changed to auditorium six. This was announced on a speaker system inside the conference building. (ENT: "Stigma")
In 2155, Coridan took part in talks on Earth to form a Coalition of Planets. Here, the Coridanites rejected the Tellarite proposal of a trade embargo against the Orion Syndicate. The Coridan representative emphasized his people's long-standing trade relations with the Orions and claimed that the accusation of Orions attacking Tellarite freighters was slander. (ENT: "Demons")
The Babel Conference in 2268 was to consider whether to allow Coridans admission into the United Federation of Planets. Coridan was considered underpopulated at that time, making the planet susceptible to illegal mining operations, e.g., by the Orions. Federation membership would provide the planet with protection under interstellar law. (TOS: "Journey to Babel"; TAS: "The Pirates of Orion") Mining operations were maintained there by the Orions and Tellarites, among others, a concern that led some to think they should be denied Federation membership. Despite the Orion Syndicate making an initial attempt to sabotage the Babel Conference, Ambassador Sarek of Vulcan spoke in favor of admittance, and was given credit for passage of the measure. Coridan joined the Federation that same year. (TOS: "Journey to Babel"; TNG: "Sarek")
In 2374, during the Dominion War, Coridan's dilithium mines were attacked by the Jem'Hadar, as they made the planet a strategically important target. (DS9: "One Little Ship")
- See: Coridanites
Background information
The appearance of the Coridanites drastically changed from "Shadows of P'Jem" to "Demons", the species' only two appearances. Also, the ambassador in "Demons" only mentions Coridan in passing, and he never identifies himself as Coridanite, though the episode's script did.
In the Star Trek: Enterprise "relaunch" novel The Good That Men Do, Coridan (referred to as Coridan Prime) is at the center of a major plot point in the story. The novel also reveals details hereto unresolved by canon productions. The physiological differences between the Coridanites depicted in "Shadows of P'Jem" and those seen in "Demons" is attributed to a special diplomatic headdress worn by those seen in the latter episode. The novel describes the headdress as "a metallic material shaped into the stark features of a humanoid skull" with "overlapping bands of chitinous, lobster-colored fabric" that wraps around the cranium. The overall appearance is said to give the Coridanite a vaguely crustacean appearance.
Taking steps to explain Coridan's 23rd century population issues, the novel depicts 22nd century Coridan as a world rich in resources, on the verge of achieving warp 7, and soon to be allied with the Coalition of Planets. To prevent such advances from spreading to other Coalition of Planets member worlds, the Romulans launch a vicious attack on Coridan, flying a vessel into the planet at maximum warp. Anti-matter from the suicide attackers' ship mixes with Coridan's abundance of dilithium, causing a fireball that spreads across the planet, killing billions. The planet's population is said to be further depleted by civil wars that continue after the Romulan attack.
The reference book The Worlds of the Federation displays a profile of the Coridan system, showing Coridan III as the homeworld of the species, and four more planets as colonies, spreading the population thin over the entire system. Coridanites were frequently targeted for raids by other species and the asteroid belt and ninth planet of the system were illegally mined by the Orions and the Tellarites. A profile picture of a Coridanite male shows them to be Human-like in appearance.

'BETTY or VERONICA...or KEVIN?': First gay character enrolls at Archie's Riverdale [UPDATED]
Note: This post was originally published Thurs., April 22 at 12:01 p.m.
The way Archie Comics artist-writer Dan Parent tells it, Riverdale High is getting ever more diverse.
Archie's already dating Valerie from Josie and the Pussycats. The House of Archie is discussing a "Jersey Shore" influence. And according to Parent, a new gay character will enroll at Riverdale later this year.
Suddenly the ol' "Betty or Veronica?" question just got potentially more interesting. (And a lot more like a story-line from, say, the '90s film "Clueless." Or an echo from Hooper's line in Kevin Smith's "Chasing Amy": "Archie and Jughead were lovers"; in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Smith cheekily speaks to this tonight at DC's Sixth & I Historic Synagogue.)
With some comics, this would qualify as non-news. But in the historically less-diverse world of Riverdale, in the longtime land of white-walled jalopies and conspicuously vanilla malt shops, this registers as notable.
"The introduction of Kevin is just about keeping the world of Archie Comics current and inclusive. Archie's hometown of Riverdale has always been a safe world for everyone. It just makes sense to have an openly gay character in Archie comic books," Archie Comics honcho Jon Goldwater said in announcing the news.
In a C2E2 interview (clip below) with Feast of Fun, Parent said that the comic is striving for more diversity and that the new character, Kevin Keller, reportedly will appear in Veronica Comics (#202) in September, in an issue titled "Isn't It Bromantic?" (To see character art of Kevin, you can check the blog "Robot 6.")
In the "Bromantic?" issue, "Everyone seems to know where Kevin is coming from except Veronica," Victor Gorelick, editor in chief of Archie Comics, tells Comic Riffs. "They don't tell Veronica -- they let her stew in it for a while. But he hangs out with Jughead -- they seem to have a connection as far as food goes."
Judging by Gorelick and Parent, there's nothing more to be read into that last statement. Sometimes a malted is just a malted.
(images courtesy of Archie Comics)
Gorelick says none of the creative talent working on the Kevin story line is gay. He notes, though, that Parent has a daughter in high school and is able to draw -- literally -- from a range of experiences at her school.
That might explain why Riverdale High will also see an influx of 50.students this fall, according to Gorelick. "Another school will be shut because of budget cuts, and that closing will have a ripple effect," he tells 'Riffs.
As for those readers who are confused because they thought Archie was now married to Veronica -- or Betty -- Gorelick says that flash-forward arc from last year will transition into a monthly magazine: "Life With Archie: The Married Life."
Back in the Archie Comics and Veronica Comics stories, though, Archie is still single (he's just begun to call Pussycat Valerie his "Sugar, Sugar"); the "Betty or Veronica?" question rages on; and Jughead and Kevin will bond over banana splits.
As for whether any other Riverdale students will be gay, Parent says: "Traditional Riverdale characters won't be coming out."

The operative word here is "openly". Click on the link for an article from last August with a cartoon of Veronica, Archie, and Betty, three straws, and a malt. (This image will appear on a postage stamp in July.) Now notice that Betty, with hearts over her head, is clearly looking at Veronica and not at Archie.

I think you're dreaming, GordonCash--Betty's eyes are clearly on Archie. Try Betty's pose yourself--you won't be looking in Veronica's direction, cute as she is.

Did I miss something? Wasn't it recently breaking news (of a sort) that Archie and Veronica were a "couple", that they were going to get married, and that Betty was on the sidelines? Now he's dating Josie? Exclusively? Not dating Josie and Veronica and Betty? Anyone want to let me know what I missed? Or is this like an all-of-a-sudden change of story line as if nothing happened regarding the wedding?

I loved this comic until I grew up and realized Betty Cooper is a doormat and should read a little Betty Freidan. And Veronica was not so bad.

eaglestrk01, yes, the "gay lobby" has really been putting lots of effort into getting a gay character into Archie comics. They've had gay lobbyists stationed outside Archie headquarters in Riverdale around the clock, really filling the campaign coffers of the illustrators from both sides of the aisle. Between them and the malt-shop PACs, at least they're no longer in the pocket of Big Jalopy.

Who even reads this comic??! And, I'm sorry but adding gay characters just to appeal to the minority gay population (well, really trying to appeal to Hollywood which promotes the minority gay population) is just the politically correct thing to do. Not to mention, gross. No one wants to watch two gay guys in love. And most of the gay characters on tv are STRAIGHT actors. It's all a fake show.

You guys who think Dilton is gay are nuts. Remember, Dilton is a freaking genius. The girls think he's so harmless they even let him hang out in the girls bathroom with them. Meanwhile, he's amassing an incredible collection of upskirt videos.

They are really striving for "diversity" in this comic, which always represented the most "traditional" aspects of conservative Middle America. As evidence of this new push, just look at who it is that Archie has decided is hotter than either Betty or Veronica:

Solar storm hits the Earth
A large solar flare, at 03:59 GMT on Monday, triggered a coronal mass ejection (CME) travelling at 1400 km/s that reached the Earth in the afternoon of 24 January. The impact of the CME caused a minor geomagnetic storm, but no effects on ground infrastructure such as power grids or phone networks were detected. The main impact of this storm was to trigger spectacular auroral displays at high latitudes.
A coronal mass ejection (CME) is a huge cloud of magnetised plasma from the Sun's atmosphere – the corona – thrown into interplanetary space. They often occur in association with a solar flare. This ejection was detected by the ESA/NASA SOHO and NASA Stereo spaceborne solar observatories. CMEs can produce geomagnetic storms when they reach Earth, between two and six days after leaving the Sun.
The solar flare on Monday morning also triggered the strongest stream of protons seen since 2005. This stream reached the Earth on Monday morning and continued on Tuesday. As an energetic eruption of this level can disrupt satellites, for 48 hours operation teams at ESA were on high alert to monitor the storm. Today, they report no incident. While the flare was stronger than the average and the proton storm was the first strong one in seven years, these events do not have impact at the ground level on Earth. Solar flares and proton events are mainly of concern to satellite operators and they are also closely monitored by the astronauts onboard the International Space Station (ISS).

1. The outgoing President of the U.S., HE Mr Obama, made his last speech on foreign soil at the Lima Convention Centre, in Peru on Nov 20, 2016.
2. Najib Tun Razak managed to have a picture of himself shaking hands with his golf partner, President Obama at the conference. The Malaysian controlled media showed this picture proudly.
3. The suggestion is that despite the US Dept. of Justice openly implicating Najib (referred to as Malaysian Official 1) in the fraudulent siphoning of billions of dollars of 1MDB money into his account, the President of the U.S still regard Najib as his friend or at least golf partner.
4. The White House has issued the text of the farewell speech by Obama at the press conference in Peru which covers the U.S position and policies worldwide. (read text here)
5. That long speech includes the following "And so what I would say would be that we all share responsibilities for improving that order and maintaining it, and making sure it's more inclusive, and deliver great hope and prosperity for more corners of the world. We all have responsibilities – every nation – in respecting the dignity and worth of their citizens. And America can't do it all for everybody else. There are limits to our reach into other countries if they're determined to oppress their people, or not provide with education, or siphon all development funds into Swiss bank accounts because they are corrupt. We're not going to be able to handle every problem."
6. Najib was there. He must have heard it. He must know Obama was referring to him. I am sure he would still have that fixed smile on his face. He does not know about being ashamed. He probably thought Obama was praising him just as he thought the Bersih massive demo was not well attended.
7. He will now go to shake hands with President elect Donald Trump – another golf partner.
N.B: Obama is right when he says "there are limits to our reach into other countries."
But the money laundering of 1MDB money was done in the United States of America. Najib's stepson, Riza Aziz and his friend Jho Low bought landed properties, paintings and financed the film "The Wolf of Wall Street", using American dollars and American banks in America with money belonging to 1MDB.
It is the Department of Justice of the U.S. which reported all these.

Would Be Great If These Worked
- wvdial -- Dialer for Land-line, GSM, UMTS modems and other serial devices.
- Sugar Learning Platform: An alternative to the Desktop metaphor of the GUI
- Frink - A language that tracks units of measure through all calculations. If Java works, Frink will work. Frink runs under any version of Java 1.1 or later. Can work without GUI, with AWT GUI, or with Swing GUI.

Friday, October 14, 2011
This summer, the State Legislature and Governor of Louisiana passed a law that bans individuals and businesses from transacting in cash if they are considered a "secondhand dealer".
House Bill 195 of the 2011 Regular Session (Act 389) broadly defines a secondhand dealer to include "… Anyone, other than a non-profit entity, who buys, sells, trades in or otherwise acquires or disposes of junk or used or secondhand property more frequently than once per month from any other person, other than a non-profit entity, shall be deemed as being in the business of a secondhand dealer. "
The law then states that "A secondhand dealer shall not enter into any cash transactions in payment for the purchase of junk or used or secondhand property. Payment shall be made in the form of check, electronic transfers, or money order issued to the seller of the junk or used or secondhand property…"
The broad scope of this definition can essentially encompass everyone; from your local flea market vendors and buyers to a housewife purchasing goods on ebay or craigslist, to a group of guys trading baseball cards, they could all be considered secondhand dealers. Lawmakers in Louisiana have effectively banned its citizens from freely using United States legal tender.

Sometimes it's hard to imagine you'll find a better place than the last, that is when you see images of interiors so frequently. This though might trump the rest. It's a bit of everything you want in a home, warmth and comfort and simplicity all wrapped up together.

Here's how Wickedpedia defines the "SAMSON OPTION".
Wonderful. Well, since our forum readers will know that nuclear bombs are a hoax - a totally fictitious, scare-mongering fable invented and upheld by the powers that be - how are we to interpret this ludicrous "SAMSON OPTION"? Here we have a weeny little nation of this planet - threatening ALL OF US to be blown into smithereens - if we only have the gall to threaten their existence... Can any sane, living brain on this planet buy this crap? And for how long are we supposed to buy it?"The Samson Option is the name that some military analysts have given to Israel's hypothetical deterrence strategy of massive retaliation with nuclear weapons as a "last resort" against nations whose military attacks threaten its existence."
Israel refuses to confirm or deny it has nuclear weapons or to describe how it would use them, an official policy of nuclear ambiguity, also known as "nuclear opacity." This has made it difficult for anyone outside the Israeli government to describe the country's true nuclear policy definitively, while still allowing Israel to influence the perceptions, strategies and actions of other governments.
Now, anyone is free to believe that this threat of a nuclear armageddon proposed to us by Israel is real.
But whether it is real or not, can any honest human being accept to be threatened with such a pathetic and unspeakably offensive menace ? What exactly is going on here? How can a little nation threaten to blow up the entire planet - without being reprimanded by the entire international community for uttering such grossly inane and ridiculous threats? Isn't it high time to start questioning the very sanity of the folks behind this?
To be sure, this little forum of ours - and all of its members - have been accused in the mainstream media of being mentally challenged or, in other words - insane. This, in two major Norwegian newspapers - and in the context of the Breivik affair, a crass psyop obviously backed and ordained by jewish-Norwegian prime minister Jens Stoltenberg. So where do I - or we - go from here? Now, please tell me: have I not, as a 'neutral' Scandinavian researcher into media fakery, showed time and time again my dislike for making political statements? I think I have. But there comes a time when every man of integrity (real men with balls, if you will) has to take a stance - however uncomfortable it may be - and to call out the enemy. Now - make no mistake - to talk about the jewish potentates and media-moguls (no - NOT all jews) of this planet is a matter of political and psychological relevance - and has absolutely NOTHING to do with racism. I have also repeatedly stated my belief that the PTB (the powers that be) are composed by a wide variety of power-obsessed maniacs. It's a big, international, "olympic" mafia - and the jewish team seem to be pretty much on top of it. Do I have an 'agenda'? No, but I might start thinking about it...Perhaps my agenda would be to confine the insane people of this planet into two big skyscrapers converted into mental institutions - and perhaps someone like Nobel Peace Prize recipient Henry Kissinger would be my prime choice for a high-profile patient to promote my world-saving mental asylum.
Anyhow, what this SAMSON OPTION tells us, is that the people behind it have very serious mental issues. They are not alone though. Even American and British potentates keep brandishing the big stick of the "atomic bomb" - and most of this world's population keep buying their bullcrap. All we need here is for normal people to see through the insanity of our so-called "leaders" - and start thinking for themselves. Unfortunately, most people keep staring into their TV sets - and let themselves being hypnotized by the ongoing media show.
In any case, don't lose any sleep because you've now heard of the "SAMSON OPTION". The folks behind this crap are clearly deranged and should - at the very least - be totally ignored. In fact, I should have, ideally, ignored them too!
