So the shop is still a bit slow, but I was able to grab a name the other day and worked on the guy with the palm tree on his leg.
Here is the name...
I should have zoomed in more for this photo... so its not the greatest picture. I didn't do the hibiscus above it. I have definitely done better than this but I think I did the best I could at the time. She really liked how it turned out so that made me happy.
The next session we're going to fill in the background and the clouds, and then go from there. I enjoyed working on this and hope to finish it and make it new and clean looking. He has alot of random stuff there so we need to make sense of it.
Back to work now... until next time...

This place is fantastic. It's beautiful and easy to get around once you're there. You'll need good walking shoes in rain gear in the summer.
Beautiful resort town near the Slovak border and within striking distance of Krackow. Very rural and can feel like walking back in time. Lots of outdoor activities and v affordable.
This is wonderful village in the Tatras mountains that is stunning to visit any time of year. It is in walking distance from a national park with a beautiful waterfall.

If you've ever flown first class in an executive pod, then you'll appreciate the creature comforts behind the new study pods at U of T's Faculty of Information.
A semi-enclosed space, comfy chair, movable desk, a foot stool to stretch your legs and your very own desk lamp and electrical outlet – what else could you possibly need?
"It's perfect," said Azel Mulagulova, a first-year master's student in the faculty, which is also known as the iSchool. "There's privacy. It's very comfortable to work in and very efficient in the way it's designed."
The individual study pods are just part of the upgrades at the Faculty of Information, in which the fourth and fifth floors of the northern part of the Robarts Library complex have been completely redesigned and refurbished.
Azel Mulagulova works on her readings in a study pod at the iSchool
The renovation includes group study spaces, more interactive labs for digital preservation and database research, a soundproof Skype room and an exhibition wall (which will be replaced annually) for students in the Museum Studies program to practice curatorial techniques and designing exhibit spaces.
The faculty includes 681 graduate students in both the Information Studies and Museum Studies programs. While the new spaces will be available 24 hours a day to students in the faculty, they're also open to other students from across the university from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
"The impetus for adding updated smart boards and computers, gathering spaces, classrooms – and an abundance of electrical outlets – was to transform [this space] into a collaborative, experiential and experimental space," says Dean Wendy Duff. "By giving students and professors a diverse range of study spaces: individual study pods, small and large group study rooms, as well as labs and large seminar rooms, they can pursue further excellence in teaching, service, studies and research."

My very kind friends who are hosting me at Plow Creek Community
Once again I feel a sense of wonder about how I, a stranger, could be so quickly welcomed into community. I contacted Louise Stahnke only about three weeks ago when I needed a place to be for the second week of my journey. Third Way Church had not worked out, and in some ways I "settled" for Plow Creek as a second option. Yet now that I am here, I am so content.
What is really awesome is that when I read Louise and her husband's biography on the web site, I discovered that Louise had used the Immanuel Approach www.immanuelapproach.com for healing ritual abuse. This effective way of healing past trauma has become something I really want to practice and share with others. So when I discovered we had this in common, I felt delighted and even more connected.
Louise shared about a place she had gone for workshops called Our Father's Farm. http://www.harvesthome.org/our-fathers-farm which I am going to write about in another blog.
I love the way that God is leading me where I need to go as I trust him. I also am very grateful to be out in the country but still have internet–although I don't have phone service. This is a wonderful time for me to write, reflect, and study as well as work and connect with the great folks here.

Engineer Spencer, Eastbound
Photographer: Mark A. Perry
Photo by Mark A. Perry
Engineer Spencer, Eastbound
It has almost been seven weeks since my latest hip replacement surgery, so I finally got out today and shot my first real photograph in quite some time. In fact it was my first digital pixel taken with my Nikon DSLR in a long time time actually, heck I haven't even done any hockey or church photography either for ages...........period, nothing! Despite having one of the nicest falls on record since I've been bumming around this planet, with lasting vibrant colors and unseasonably warm weather for weeks and weeks on end, I sadly missed this year's spectacular season shooting wise, I didn't even take even ONE pixel worth of images because my mobility just wasn't up to snuff yet [but it is coming along nicely, thank you].
But today all that changed, after waking up this morning around 0800, I got a text this morning on my cell phone stating "off to Sioux......#302/0945......gulp". I looked outside, it was overcast with strong winds with the temperature sitting at a somewhat coolish 7C/44F. Not exactly great weather to be out taking photographs. Normally I would have taken a big "passola" but something happening today was special. Seems one Ms. Susan Spencer has been set up on the CN's Engineer's spare board in Winnipeg, Manitoba and was making her first full fledged trip! Granted she had already made a couple of short rescue [dog catch] trips but this was her first real stab at driving in the right hand seat since qualifying as a locomotive engineer, earlier this year. Susan is a long time CN'er with 28 years service but only has five years seniority in the running trades. Being set up on the engineer's spare board with only 5 years seniority was virtually unheard of when I hired out as a brakeman 30 years ago, heck it took me 9 years of service to just go to the engineers course and then I waited another 20 years until I was really set up running with any regularity! But this is the new CN and things are hopping these days and here she was, getting called for her first trip, eastward on the mainline to Sioux Lookout, Ontario with a junk train #302 with two units on the head end, a newer CN GM and a older IC GE. I wasn't going to venture into the CN Symington yard here to take her pic, it would be a hassle and the local CN management might not approve of it and Susan probably didn't want all the fanfare and hype brought upon her with some gimpy guy taking pics of her, on her very first trip.
So I drove to the east end of Beach Jct, [located near the entrance to Symington yard] and waited. I sat in the parking lot of some marble cutting place, drinking McD's coffee and warding off strange looks from the security guy that kept driving very slowly around the parking lot in a yellow half ton staring at me, probably wondering what I was trying to steal! Finally I hear a train coming around the wye and there is the 8871 slowly threading it's way across the crossovers onto the mainline, heading east to the suburb of Transcona, for a meet with a eastbound double stack train. I brave the chilly winds and hundreds of Canada Geese looking for food around me on the grass and stood out preparing to shoot her. Nearing me, the window on the big comfort cab slid open and I saw a faint wave coming from it.
Wow.......I'm totally out of practice taking photographs and I fumble to get a shot, any shot! The ISO is way too high, I didn't remember to change it after shooting hockey pics in some dark rink ages ago, so there will be some major graininess and the ditch lights are on full, blowing the exposure way over the top! Thank God for auto-focus and Photo Shop.... I manage to capture that big smile on her face for just a brief second before she turns back into the cab, sliding the window back shut, to ward off the cold!
No time for an inspection of her entire train, I'm friggin' frozen, so I hop back into my pick up truck and drive east for about 5-6 miles with the heater on FULL BLAST and set up at a lonely dirt crossing just on the outskirts of the city. #302 has to thread through the small yard at Transcona and it takes a bit of time for the 6000 ft train to regain the high iron. To the distant east of me, I see a signal indicating CLEAR TO STOP, I guess Susan and #302 must be heading in at Dugald for another meet. Soon I see the headlight on the horizon to the west and Susan has the 8871 in the 8th notch and I brave the wind again and shoot the train coming at me and also a going away shot of her in the cab, grain and all.....
As I write this, she's probably half way to Sioux by now, white knuckling it all the way but I'm confident she will do a good job, she was worried about making her first trip, I think that is a good sign that she will not take any chances and try and be a hot dog. I hope it is the first of many engineer trips she will make in her remaining 7-8 years she has left, until she retires.
But maybe you are quietly asking, so just who is this Susan Spencer? She is my best friend, she is the person I want to spend most of my remaining days with now....

Storytelling Sunday: Healing through journaling
7 comments:
I admire your ability to journal each day. I've tried with little success so I guess I'm not ready yet. Thanks for sharing your love of journaling story.ReplyDelete
What a beautifully thought provoking post for Storytelling Sunday! A wonderful reminder that we can be free to choose anything at all as "precious" Thank youReplyDelete
I love keeping a journal and go through stages of being better at it than other times! It is a healing process though and i often write when I am struggling or feel sad!ReplyDelete
I too admire you keeping a daily journal. I write 'Morning Pages' when I am stressed and find it completely healing. Love your story and the beautiful necklace.ReplyDelete
I tried as a kid to journal everyday but I got bored with it and stopped. I think that I wasn't mature enough to be able to articulate my feelings and thoughts. As an adult I have considered it again but I don't write them down. I think about them while having a cup of tea in the morning. I find even the deep thoughts are healing and so I am sure that your journals will have a similar result.ReplyDelete
Journaling every day is always a worthwhile challenge - hope that it helps you heal. It has me over the years, hard still of course.ReplyDelete
It certainly sounds like beginning to write was a good decision for you. And I don't think it is vain at all to want the perfect journal to hold your precious thoughts. Those are darling. I look forward to you sharing more with us.ReplyDelete

We extend best wishes for a Happy New Year. Key West Charter Fishing aboard the SOUTHPAW has yielded a mixed bag of fish over the Christmas holidays. We've caught a few Sailfish, a few Dolphin, a few Kings, a few Grouper, some snapper and some Cero. Bonita's, Horse eye Jacks and other assorted members of the Jack Genus have thankfully enlivened several trips. The truth is fishing has been pretty slow of late so we have had to work hard on some days to produce good action. Here are a few good fish caught over the last week.

What is the best boys' soccer team in the Big North Conference?
There's still no definitive answer after the two primary contenders, Petoskey and Traverse City West, played to a 1-1 tie Thursday at the Click Road Soccer Complex.
Both teams are 3-0-1 in the Big North. Petoskey is 9-1-1 overall, West is 6-3-1.
"It looks like the championship will be decided down in Traverse City late in the season," said Petoskey coach Scott Batchelor, who will take his tame to T.C. for a rematch with the Trojans on Tuesday, Oct. 7.
John Gourlay scored eight minutes into the match on a cross that was redirected over the head of Petoskey goalie Grant Reed. The Northmen tied it midway through the first hald when Josh Garlitz put in a loose ball that began as a corner kick from Paul Murray.
It could have been worse for West.
"Their goalie (Alex Sanderson) had to make three spectacular saves to keep the game tied," Batchelor said. "We had a couple of breakaways that he came out and stuffed. We generated some good chances, but couldn't capitalize. They pressured the ball well, which made possessing the ball difficult. But we were able to string some good passes together and generate some offense."

True Friendship is not only measured by what a person says or does in your presence or the truth they tell when you're present.
The true measure of a friendship happens when things are said about you when you're not around.
Your true friend morphs into a paid attorney, putting up a strong defense for you when someone comes for you and you're not there to defend yourself. They also hold your secrets in confidence like attorney/client privilege.
A True Friend ❣

The National Rifle Association called for a boycott of a Dallas diner. It backfired spectacularly.
With the NRA coming to town for its annual meeting in May 2018, Dallas restaurant Ellen's printed a special message on the bottom of its receipts. It read 😛 TAGEND
"Thanks for visiting Ellen's! A section of this week's proceeds will be donated to organisations dedicated to implementing reasonable and effective firearm regulations. Welcome to Dallas! "
What a day this has been! We want to give some clarification to an issue that has caused quite a bit of confusion and…
Posted by Ellen's on Friday, May 4, 2018
After a bit of confusion over what the restaurant entail, they afterward added "that protect citizens' 2nd Amendment rights and also help reduce needless gun violence" to the end of the message. They published a Facebook post apologizing for confusion, but by then, it was too late.
The NRA had already published a tweet containing a copy of the original version of the receipt, exhorting its members to "steer clear" of the restaurant as well as to " #StandAndFight, " calling on convention attendees to boycott.
Attn @AnnualMeetings attendees. Steer clear of Ellen's in downtown Dallas! Why go there when there are so many other great selections. #sorrynotsorry #StandAndFight #DefendTheSecond pic.twitter.com/ joX7pPoPm 4
— NRA (@ NRA) May 5, 2018
Now, there's nothing wrong with boycotts. People are more than welcome to decide where they want to expend their fund. It's merely a little ironic given that the NRA's response to people calling for boycott of NR-Aaffiliated companies was to call the ordeal a "a shameful display of political and civic cowardice."
In addition, NRA spokesperson Dana Loesch has regularly tweeted about how she doesn't believe in boycott and wouldn't call for one, once writing, "I loathe boycotts." Again, though, that's exactly what the group's "steer clear" message was encouraging: a boycott.
I've never been part of a boycott in my life. I've chosen as an individual to do certain things but I don't call for boycotts.
— Dana Loesch (@ DLoesch) August 13, 2015
As soon as the NRA's tweet ran up, Ellen's said it began receiving a inundate of hateful calls and reviews from NRA supporters.
In a video for Now This News, Ellen's co-owner Joe Groves recalled the immediate aftermath of the NRA's tweet.
"We were being told that we were being shot up, to expect a bomb at any time, that they would be visiting but they don't want to be there when the explosion happens. Our personnel has been harassed, " he said.
Thankfully , no one followed through on the violent threats. Instead, NRA supporters apparently tried to mess with the restaurant's online booking system by filling it with fake reservations so it couldn't take actual reservations and leaving a bunch of one-star reviews on Facebook and Yelp. Boycotters also did the same to an unaffiliated Houston-area restaurant of the same name, causing the restaurant to decide to rebrand entirely.
Luckily, this story has a happy objective for the Dallas restaurant and people who support reasonable handgun security regulations.
Thanks in part to the added advertising directed its way by the NRA's boycott, Ellen's had an extremely busy weekend, bringing in more money than usual. In the end, $15,000 was raised for charity, to be donated to gun security group Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America.
It's disturbing that the NRA find the words "reasonable and effective" and immediately urges its members to " #StandAndFight, " but it seems that's the world we live in.
As the convention came to an objective, the restaurant updated its receipts one final time with a message we should all be able to get behind: "Love each other. Protect the vulnerable. Find common ground. Say 'yes' to peace."
As the NRA convention adjourns in Dallas and its attendees make their ways back home, we wish them all safe and easy…

Publisher: Worthy Publishing
Publication Date: 2017-02-28
Number of pages: 272
The principles Sheriff Clarke stands for are the same principles this nation was built on. He's much more than the Milwaukee County Sheriff. He's America's Sheriff . . . and Cop Under Fire is a must-read for people who love this great country. -- Sean Hannity, FOX News Channel
Clarke is a unique voice today: fearless in his contempt for political correctness and eloquent in his articulation of core American values. -- Heather MacDonald, Thomas W. Smith Fellow at the Manhattan Institute and author of The War on Cops
Sheriff David Clarke provides a much-needed voice of reason in tackling America's challenges. He speaks his mind, and his no-nonsense approach to law and order is exactly what we need to make our country safer. -- Chris W. Cox, Executive Director, NRA Institute for Legislative Action
Even in a predominantly liberal community, his message of law and order, accountability, and self-empowerment resonates. He is one of America's most important cultural voices. -- Mark Belling, Talk Radio Host for 1130 WISN-AM in Milwaukee and columnist for newspapers including the Milwaukee Post
At a time when America seems to have lost its way, Sheriff David Clarke offers critically important leadership, both as one of the nation's top cops and as a much-needed public truth teller. -- Monica Crowley, Ph.D., FOX News Channel, The Washington Times
I implore all to read Cop Under Fire. . . Sheriff Clarke is a tremendous leader, follower, and a strong voice of reason who needs to be heard by all! -- Kris Tanto Paronto, Former U.S. Army Ranger (2nd Battalion, 75th Regiment), Security and Military Consultant, and Hero of the Benghazi Attack

Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;

And makes the nations prove

And wonders of His love,

Meet the Hiring Our Heroes Staffers Nominated for Military Spouse of the Year
Two Hiring Our Heroes (HOH) staffers, both current military spouses as well as veterans themselves, have been recognized for their committment to service, family, and country as Military Spouse of the Year (MSOY) nominees. MSOY is an annual recogniztion of those who play a vital role as the force beside our nation's service members: military spouses.
Amanda Crowe, director of the HOH Military Spouse Professional Network, and Lindsay Teplesky, deputy director and program manager for the HOH Corporate Fellowship Program, have been nominated by their peers for the award in the national campaign presented by Military Spouse Magazine and Armed Forces Insurance.
Crowe served as a Navy Reservist for 8 years and has seen more than 10 deployments in her time as a military spouse. She is intimately familiar with the high operational tempo that military life often demands, and devotes much of her professional and personal energy to supporting her military community of spouses and families. As the director of the Military Spouse Professional Network, a worldwide initiative that supports career-minded military spouses, Crowe divides her time and focus between the program's global locations and being wife to her active duty Navy husband and and mom to their children. Overseeing more than 45 network locations and hundreds of volunteers, as well as traveling to dozens of Hiring Our Heroes events each year, Crowe is a venerable force working to empower military spouses to seek meaningful employment opportunities, while also educating employers on the vast benefits military spouse professionals offer as employees.
"The ability for military spouses to maintain a steady, growing, advancing career is paramount to the stability of many military families, and it can absolutely play a huge part in national security," said Crowe, who will use her platform to continue advocating for the employment needs of military spouses if she is named spouse of the year. "If those military spouses are not able to maintain a satisfactory career (both in income and achievement), the military is far more likely to lose their best and brightest active duty."
Nominated by a peer, Crowe is described by those who know her as a master of balancing her roles while still maintaining her sincere intentions. "She is constantly trying to find connections for spouses," said Heidi Dindial, the fellow military spouse who nominated Crowe. "Despite all the obstacles such as deployment, traveling for work, and taking care of the world, Amanda manages to constantly stay motivated and committed to every task at hand."
Lindsay Teplesky is a proud Army veteran and military spouse who channels her passion and energy into the Corporate Fellowship Program, where she helps transitioning service members and military spouses gain hands-on professional management experience in the civilian workforce. As the program's national deputy director, as well as the program manager for the Fort Carson, Colorado, location, Teplesky serves an integral role in connecting transitioning service members and spouses with corporate fellowship opportunities in preparation for their civilian careers.
Also nominated by a fellow military spouse, Teplesky is touted for her tireless devotion to the military community. "Even though she's already served her country from her time as an active duty Army officer, she continues to serve military spouses, service members, and veterans with her work with Hiring Our Heroes and the HOH Military Spouse Professional Network," said Christine Maxwell, who nominated Teplesky. "On her own she works for the military community, advocating for spouses, finding job connections and helping to build their skills. Lindsay works so hard for our community, I would love to have her recognized."
Military Spouse of the Year nominations were collected and organized by installation, district, or state. Both Crowe and Teplesky are nominated for the initial round of voting, which is open through February 9. Winners for each military installation across Army, Marine Corps, Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard and National Guard branches of service will then advance to the next round of voting, culminating in the naming of the national winner on May 10.

Day One consisted of high level discussions with panels of government and industry experts covering topics such as:
Opportunities and challenges on the horizon for global trade, including:
- Advancements in automated processing, industry-government partnerships, harmonization of processes between foreign border management authorities, and innovations in risk management.
Impacts on global trade of the World Trade Organization (WTO) Trade Facilitation Agreement and the proliferation of Authorized Economic Operator Programs around the world.
- This included discussions with representatives from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Office of Trade and Regulatory Reforms and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), Integration and Trade Sector, which focuses on Latin America.
- These offices play large roles in providing aid and loans for trade capacity building efforts in developing countries, aimed at stimulating overall economic growth.
Cooperation on trade issues between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
- CBP Commissioner Kerlikowske and his counterpart in Mexico, Ricardo Trevino[1], discussed efforts between their nations to coordinate information-sharing, harmonize processes (notably in the rail environment), and launch innovative cargo pre-inspection pilots.
Collaboration between CBP and the trade industry.
- Representatives from the Advisory Committee on Commercial Operations (COAC), a collection of trade industry representatives authorized by Congress to formally consult and provide recommendations to CBP and other U.S. agencies concerned with trade, discussed best practices and lessons learned in working with CBP.
- Engagement between CBP and the COAC represents the important principles of 'co-creation'and 'bi-directional education' that are critical to successful public-private partnerships.
The Current and future state of CBP's role in the global supply chain.
- Senior agency leadership overseeing CBP trade policy, operations, related technology and procurements, and engagement with foreign partners spoke about the ongoing efforts of their respective offices. Topics included:
- The need to take a comprehensive approach toward Trusted Trader programs, cargo pre-inspection activities, and mutual recognition arrangements with foreign partners.
- The need to move new trade regulations, coordinated with industry, through the federal approval process more swiftly in order to keep up with the evolving trade environment.
- The need to modernize customs revenue collection and efficiently fund new border crossing infrastructure.
- Large and small scale technology advancements and the challenge of addressing cyber security as new automation and mobile tools are operationalized.
- Collaborating with foreign partners to advance trade facilitation measures, including the World Customs Organization (WCO) SAFE Framework.
Day Two consisted of five (5) breakout sessions with U.S. government and industry representatives. Panel topics included:
Advancement of the 'Single Window' trade processing system.
- This system, supported by CBP's Automated Commercial Environment (ACE), will streamline the intake and processing of trade data and documents across multiple U.S. government agencies rather than force filers to submit documents to each separately.
- CBP officials were joined by representatives from certain agencies participating in the Single Window pilot, to include: the Food and Drug Administration, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Trade Enforcement.
- This panel included officials from CBP, ICE, and the EPA. Agency representatives solicited feedback from industry on how the government and private sector can better collaborate to crack down on trade violations which can pose health and safety risks to U.S. consumers and put legitimate businesses at an economic disadvantage.
The Automated Commercial Environment (ACE)
- CBP representatives provided updates to industry members on its new automated trade processing system, which is being rolled out in phases over 2015-16.
The Centers of Excellence and Expertise (CEES)
- The CEEs, which operate virtually, use an account (rather than transaction) based approach, to serve trade stakeholders. They serve to increase uniformity of practices across ports of entry and facilitate the timely resolution of trade compliance issues nationwide.
- CBP representatives who are currently leading CEE operations in the field were joined by industry members to discuss best practices and lessons learned. Discussion included the role of ACE and CBP's coordination efforts with participating government agencies (PGA) in continuing development of the CEEs.
The Future of Exports
- Advancements in automation and single window processing will allow many export processing functions to be merged and streamlined.
- Incorporating exports into a Trusted Trader model also presents new strategies for risk management related to exports.
- CBP and U.S. Census Bureau, Office of Trade Regulations and Outreach, engaged with audience members to discuss the changing landscape on exports, acknowledging there is much more work to be done.
[1] A representative from Canada was not able to attend due to the fact that elections in Canada had just taken place.

by James D. Tabor
The standard textbook wisdom that we all learned from grade school on up is that the Americas were discovered by the Europeans either in 1492 by Columbus, or perhaps even a few hundred years earlier by the Vikings. There seems to be an aversion among the establishment historians to even consider the idea that ancient Mediterranean peoples might have traveled to the Americas in the centuries before our era. Except for certain "fringe" scholarship, particularly promoted by Mormon historians, the standard view is considered indisputable. The very idea that "primitive" peoples from Cyprus, Phoenicia, Greece, or Iberia had the sailing sophistication to cross the Atlantic is thought to be improbable if not absurd.
There are a few notable exceptions. Dr. Cyrus Gordon, one of the greatest living historians of ancient Near Eastern civilizations has promoted the idea that such peoples reached the New World for the past several decades. Actually, when one digs around a bit, it turns out that the historical and archaeological evidence is quite impressive. It has been well documented by Barry Fell in his major study, America B.C. (New York: Pocket Books, 1989).
One of the most fascinating sites Dr. Fell surveys is located south of Albuquerque, New Mexico, a few miles west of a little town called Los Lunas. The site has been known as "Mystery Mountain" by the locals for many years. At the foot of a mini-Masada like natural plateau there is an inscription written in paleo-Hebrew. The inscription contains a slightly abridged version of the Decalogue or Ten Commandments. Anyone who is familiar with the Hebrew language, and the well-established ancient Hebrew alphabet used prior to the Common Era, can easily read this inscription.
The question is,how did it get there? Is it a fraud, perpetrated by some pranksters for amusement purposes? If so, it could not be much older than this century since the paleo-Hebrew alphabet was only discovered from archaeological inscriptions in the Middle East over the past 100 years. Or, is it possible that it was put there much earlier, by Jews or Israelites who had settled in the area we know as New Mexico when paleo-Hebrew was in common use,that is in the centuries B.C.E. To even suggest such an idea, for most, is to immediately dismiss it. However, when the Los Lunas inscription is placed in the wider context of an abundant amount of evidence, such as that presented by Dr. Fell, that ancient Mediterranean peoples did visit the New World, it becomes not only plausible but perhaps the only logical explanation for the existence of this text.
In September, 1996 I visited the Los Lunas site with a group of associates for an initial survey of the evidence. I have also interviewed Prof. Frank Hibben, local historian and archaeologist from the University of New Mexico, who is convinced the inscription is ancient and thus authentic. He reports that he first saw the text in 1933. At the time it was covered with lichen and patination and was hardly visible. He was taken to the site by a guide who had seen it as a boy, back in the 1880s. Thus we have eye-witness evidence, going back over a hundred years, that the inscription existed. This alone is impressive, since it is rather preposterous to imagine some pranksters or forgers operating with a knowledge of paleo-Hebrew in the late 1800s, when this ancient alphabet was not even fully known to the scholars.
Associated with the inscription is the mountain itself, which shows evidence of fortification and ancient habitation, whether by native Americans or whomever. The Decalogue inscription is located at the foot of the mountain, on the north, at the only accessible pathway going up. The top of the mountain is a flat plateau with many ruins. The whole area is covered with drawings on rocks called petroglyphs. One of the most interesting of these petroglyphs is what appears to be a sky-map, laid out on a flat rock, recording the positions of the planets and constellations during a solar eclipse. Researcher David Deal, to whom we owe credit for a drawing of the site, has identified the eclipse astronomically as occurring on September 15, 107 B. C. E. I have run that date on a sophisticated computer calendar that does conversions to the ancient Hebrew calendar and surprisingly, that date turns out to fall on Tishri 1st, or Rosh HaShanah of that year, 107 B.C.E.! Mr. Deal, who first did the astronomical calculations, was not even aware of this correlation. It might well be the case that the ancient Israelites who lived on this mountain, and left their inscription of the Ten Commandments at the "Gate" of the camp, also recorded an eclipse that happened to fall on a very important day in their sacred calendar.
I have become tentatively convinced that the Los Lunas inscription offers solid evidence that ancient Israelites explored and settled in the New World in the centuries before the Common Era. Whether we can precisely date this encampment, based on Mr. Deal's astronomical evidence, remains in discussion. However, I have little doubt, nor does Dr. Gordon, who is one of the world experts on ancient inscriptions, that the text itself is authentic and was written sometime B.C.E. Beyond this we can not go at this point in time. What is needed is a rigorous archaeological examination of the whole mountain and its human artifacts. It was obvious to us, even from our brief survey last Fall, that the site has been inhabited by successive peoples. We would have to have coin and pottery evidence to more precisely identify these remains and correlate them, if possible, with the inscription itself. The author is in the process of investigating possibilities for just such an investigation, led by qualified experts in archaeology.

Alright then, here we go...!
I browsed around the web a little to find a good recipe, I'm quite happy with the one I found but I think next time I'll look for something else to make softer ones... I don't know about you but I like my choc-chip cookies gooey... ;)
2 cups all purpose flout
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
a pinch of salt
3/4 cup of unsalted butter
1 cup of brown sugar
1/2 cup of white sugar
1 tablespoon of Vanilla extract
1 egg
1 egg yolk
80 g dark chocolate bar to cut into pieces
Preheat oven to 175°C - sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt and set aside. In another bowl mix the melted butter and the sugars until well blended, add the egg and the egg yolk and the vanilla until it's all creamy and well blended. Mix in the flour mixture you previously set aside until well blended, fold in the chocolate pieces, best done by hand.
Divide the mixture into little dough balls, place on baking sheet and into the oven for about 15 - 20 mins, once ready let them cool a little... I can't resist too long and always eat them still warm while the chocolate is melted.. sooo yummy! :)
600g bread flour (although I used all purpose flour and it turned out well too!)
400g potatoes (boiled and peeled)
3/4 cube of yeast
1 plastic cup of warm water
1 plastic cup of warm milk
60g oil
Boil the potatoes until cooked and soft, peel them and squish them.
Make the yeast cube melt with the water and milk.
Mix together the flour, the yeast mixture, the salt and the oil. Before it's well blended, add the squished potatoes and blend it all together. Use your hands, it'll get sticky but it's the best way! You will end up with a very sticky mixture. Leave it aside for about 1 1/2 hours until it's doubled in size. This is enough to make two so prepare a baking sheet, put some oil on it then lie the dough down. Brush it with some oil and sprinkle it with rock salt and rosemary. Once the oven has heated to about 200°C place it in and leave it for 20 minutes. Take out and enjoy warm! :)

Entries in graphic novel (3)
Inspiration breeds creation
So, just recently I've been finding it harder and harder to find the time to consume comics and art like I used to. When you start working full time in comicking, the medium can't help but be linked with a work headspace a bit. And when your schedules start getting more and more manic, it gets harder to steal time to turn off from deadlines and just get lost in the joy of reading and absorbing. I've had a couple of absolutely insane years (as I tallied up last night, I've produced nearly 800 pages of comic over the last two years between Vampire Academy, Avalon Chronicles, Dragon Heir, Bella Nolita, My Little Pony, Tara Duncan and a few smaller children's comics as well - phew) and so my reading has utterly plummeted. I've been picking up my weekly comic stash and then they've been sitting in bags, unread. It's all very sad.
But, I'm fighting back! It's time to get reading again. Because, without absorbing comics, it becomes hard to stay motivated and fresh or to even build the enthusiasm to draw at all. We need to remind ourselves why we're doing this in the first place, after all, and nearly all creators I know were fans first. ^_^ So, yesterday I asked my twitter feed to suggest just one title, one graphic novel that they'd recommend anyone read. I'd read a fair number of them already, but I will be working through the rest, for sure. I thought I'd share the list of the most suggested titles here, as it could be a handy selection for anyone to take a look at! So, what were the top 10 graphic novels and collections recommended by my twitter feed?:
Alec Omnibus - Eddie Campbell - Top Shelf
Tale of Sand - Jim Henson - Titan Books
Black Hole - Charles Burns - Jonathan Cape
The Incal - Jodorowsky & Moebius - Selfmadehero
Sky Doll - Barbucci & Canepa - Marvel
Lucille - Ludovic Debeurme - Top Shelf
Transmetropolitan - Warren Ellis & Darick Robertson - Titan
Welcome to the NHK - Oiwa & Takimoto - Tokyopop
Promethea - Alan Moore, J.H Williams III, Mick Gray - DC
Bakuman - Ohba & Obata - Viz media
There were lots more suggestions besides, and if you'd like to see more just go check my @replies in twitter from yesterday. I couldn't list them all though, so went for those that were mentioned multiple times. It's a great spread of publishers, if not creator gender, which is really interesting to see. So, ten graphic novels you should read, as suggested by my twitter followers. Thanks, all! ^_^
NYT Best seller! You guys are amazing :)
So - I've been so busy with the last month of Frostbite inks that I just haven't had time to post about this here yet, but Oh My Goodness, the VA graphic novel made the New York Times bestseller list for graphic novels and it's more than we could have dreamed - thank you SO much to everyone who's bought a copy ^_^
Party time!
So, we charted at #4 last week and have stayed in the top 10 this week at #8. I'm just blown away by the response the book has received. two weeks in a NYT bestseller list? Just amazing. You guys are fantastic. And, trust me, Frostbite is going to look even better =^_^=

Thanks to the powers of Tumblr searching, we've found this electro/hip hop gem from aLiVE.
I don't know who this guy is or where he's from, but he pretty much bodied the crap out of this Human League sample. One thing we do know is his producer name: aLiVE, but unfortunately, this track is five months old and the last track he uploaded to Soundcloud was four months ago. Still, that doesn't take away from the Dilla-esque bounce of the synths and simple yet effective drum beat. If anyone knows whether aLiVE is on Twitter or Facebook, let us know so we can pass on the kind words. We need more of this hip hop!
Stream it below.

Our Philosophy
Green beauty is at the core of our practice, focusing on revealing and enhancing our natural beauty. Oftentimes, it's marked by irregularities due to age, stress, the environment or physical, mental and habitual disorders.
Our green beauty approach respects the body`s natural physiology. Our non-invasive procedures don't damage cells, but rather protect them. When we use minimally invasive methods, their purpose is to make your skin healthy, vibrant and glowing.
How Does Green Beauty Work?
- We stimulate the production of natural collagen for thicker, brighter skin with less lines, wrinkles and pores.
- We naturally lift the face and body by increasing natural collagen production and strengthening underlying muscles.
- We reduce stubborn localized fats by triggering fat cells to release their storage fat.
- We eliminate cellulite by strengthening connective tissue and reducing fat for firmer, smoother skin.
- We reduce puffiness and edema by improving circulation.
- We improve dull, pigmented skin by draining out the toxins and waste products from the body, beneath the skin.

It's the end of the working week and your back is up against the wall.
You didn't hit your targets and you'll need to find a new creative way of avoiding your boss this Monday morning.
He won't understand how it's too hard to scrape Google Maps for leads and that you must spend 2 hours on each proposal you send.
You even forgot to send that new contract you were working on all week.
If you just had more time …
Sorry to disappoint you, but you can't add time to your working week.
Those 40 hours is all you have.
Or is it?
Free Yourself With Marketing Automation
You MUST delegate your workload.
Even if you're down the command chain, pitch the idea of using a tool that will save you time to your boss. Time you can spend doing the "important stuff" and grow your business.
Here are some of the biggest benefits marketing automation can bring to the table:
Increase in productivity through workflow automation
You're still waiting for that list of website audits from your assistant, so you can start picking through those leads and develop an approach strategy.
Her dog got sick and you need to do all the work on your own, leaving you with no time to complete your sales pitch.
It's frustrating, I feel your pain, but don't fire your assistant.
Instead, you can equip her with a website audit tool that will double the number of leads she can generate and even send you a report to your mail.
Know your data and learn from it
Will this tool really double the number of leads you can get? How do you know, you don't keep a track of this.
Well, it's time to start.
You won't know how effective your marketing automation efforts are until you compare the results with the alternative solution.
Gathering date isn't enough. You also need to know how to use it.
There are literally dozens of user friendly CRM solutions you can choose from, let us help you get the right one.
Build a stronger relationship with your target audience
Once you know what the data you collect means it's time to improve your user's experience.
I know, this can be a huge problem, but remember how you got the support of that cool lead generation software that generates enough data to feed your CRM account.
Now you know what makes your audience tick and it's time to build a communication channel that will make them go "wow".
This can be a weekly newsletter or a user specific discount triggered by an action the make.
Whatever the case, you can automate all of this.
Be creative
The most expensive solution isn't always the right one.
Analyse your internal structure and focus on a specific department you would like to target first. Outline the biggest problems you're facing and start exploring your options.
You can check our software review section packed with marketing automation tools or just send us an email with any questions you may have.
Don't be afraid to act and test different solutions.

On Saturday, which was also the Mauni Aasava and actor Emraan Hashmi along with producer Ekta Kapoor took a pledge at the ongoing Maha Kumbh to clean the Ganga. The city administration had clearly stated that no promotional activity for their movie Ek Thi Daayan would be allowed at the Maha Kumbh.
"It was not clean and when the ashram asked us to take a pledge, we did. It is definitely important. Ganga is part of our legacy. Imagine, three crore litres of waste is dumped into it everyday. We need to stop that." said Ekta Kapoor in a telephonic conversation. Ekta Kapoor and Emraan Hashmi also washed and cleaned the portion of the bank where Ekta took a holy dip in the Ganga.

A teenager has been killed after a former US naval officer allegedly ploughed his car into pedestrians on a pavement in New York City's Times Square.
A further 22 people are thought to have been injured in the incident, which happened at the Midtown Manhattan tourist site on Thursday lunchtime.
One injured pedestrian said the collision appeared to be "intentional" and the New York Police Department has closed off the area.
But police said they do not believe the crash was connected to terrorism and tweeted that it was an "isolated incident".
A 26-year-old man, named by police as Richard Rojas from the Bronx district, was detained by police at the scene. He has previous convictions for driving under the influence and is being tested for alcohol and drug levels in custody.
He was arrested twice – in 2008 and 2015 – for drink-driving offences. Police said the driver did a U-turn and then mounted the pavement between 6th to 8th avenue. Witnesses described how the motorist then proceeded to drive alone the pavement at a speed.
