Lesson Plan
Activity Plan: A Computer Diary
Create a unique way for children to review their week
Ready-to-Use Teaching Ideas: Technology
- computer
- camera
- chart paper and marker
Developing Skills:
- language and literacy
- computer skills
- fine motor
- cooperation
Write the word diary on a sheet of chart paper. Read it to children and invite them to share what they know about diaries. Inform them that they will work together to keep a computer diary to document the highlights of their week. Explain that they will be creating a record of a few important things that they feel, as a group, are important to record.
Schedule time before the end of each day to bring children together to share the highlights of their day. Include your highlights, as well. Record everyone's responses on chart paper. Read over the list and invite children to choose one or two events that they feel, as a class, are important to document. Help facilitate discussions so that children will learn to share their ideas and express their opinions.
Use a digital camera to photograph events that occur in the classroom, such as a celebration, a visitor, a special block structure or art project, or children engaging in an activity. Show children how to use the camera and encourage them to use it, with supervision, to document events.
At the end of each week, review the daily highlights and ask children to choose a few to include in the diary. Invite two children each week to assist the teacher in inputting the information.
At the end of each month, provide children with copies of the diary to take home and share with their families.
Remember: Not all children will have a highlight to suggest. Allow them to "pass" if they don't want to offer a highlight on a particular day.
Journals. Send a note to parents explaining the value of diaries for children. Provide them with ideas to encourage their child to write or draw her ideas or experiences. Ask families to provide their child with a notebook and pencil to use to keep a diary at home.
Curriculum Connection: ART
Illustrating the Highlights. At the end of each week, provide children with drawing materials and ask them to draw and "write" about a highlight of the week. Create a weekly "highlights wall" where children can display their work.

Vincent's First Christmas
Ah!! What a wonderful day to be sick with a cold! Felt like crap yesterday and was hoping to feel better today but not really the case. Oh well. Vincent got up at his normal time around 730am. I left his "First Christmas" jammies on instead of dressing him for the day since you always open presents in your pjs! While we waited for daddy to wake up I took some pictures.
Once dad got up around 930am we started in with the stockings. We placed him in his Bumbo so he could take pictures in front of the fireplace. He still isn't very good at sitting in it. He always leans way too far forward.
We put Vince in the corner of the couch and he watched us open the stocking stuffers. He got some books, a teether toy, and an Aloha shirt.
I got a foxtail that was apparently very popular in Japan last year when we visited. Do you like Jeff's clever box he wrapped it in? Haha! Also I got lots of candies! Twix, hi-chews (also from japan), gummy worms among other things.
I got Jeff some candies as well– Almond Joy and Reese's. I got him this cool keychain that looks like a key but is a knife, screwdriver, bottle opener, etc.
Here is Vincent hugging Jeff's Reese's Candy cane. One of Jeff's favorite photos from the day.
Once stockings were emptied, we moved to the sunroom where the Christmas tree was along with all the presents.
Vince looked so cute sitting up by himself — with the help of some Christmas presents.
We put Vinny in his bouncer and gave him a present from Grandma Lisa and Grandpa Mike to unwrap. He liked the way the crinkly foil paper sounded when he scrunched it with his hands.
One of the presents i got Jeff was a custom made McGirr Pub shirt that he can wear on St. Patrick's day!
Butters even got a toy from Lisa and Mike that he had a lot of fun chasing around.
Vincent actually helped us figure out the cat toy! I was telling Jeff – "I think it does something, feel it" and then Vincent pulls the tail and it jittered! (There is something about us and not knowing things jitter because Vince has a few other baby toys that jitter and I kept forgetting that they did that until i saw the same toy at the store with a big sign on it that says "pull me i jitter!" and was like, oh yea, it can move!) Vince is so smart.
Vince also got a cool whale puzzle from his Uncle Pat. (pictured above with Butters)
After we were done opening presents, i changed Vinny into his clothes — but i stayed in my PJs cuz i was feeling sick! His shirt says "My first christmas"!
One of my favorite gifts from the day was a handmade bear rattle from Taylor. So cute!
In the afternoon we video chatted with the grandparents. Vincent showed off what he can do during tummy time.
Then later that evening we had Torie, Orlando, Amy and Victor over for a ham dinner. We exchanged gifts and ate some pie for dessert.
Torie made Vincent a Yankee's blanket with his name stitched in it, and we got an owl ornament, stitched with our name in it as well.
I love handmade gifts! I wish i had the time, talent, and patience to do that.
And Christmas wouldn't be complete without dressing Butters up! I am still so surprised at how lax he is when we put him in hats and clothes. Meet me under the mistletoe!
On this day..
- Christmas 2016 - 2016
- Christmas Day 2015 - 2015
- Merry Christmas ... with the Entire Family! - 2014

I remember my first Amway meeting at my local Best Western Hotel lobby lol. This is where I learned the difference between employee/business owner which was crucial… especially at my age. I was fresh out of high school (okay so I dropped out) and deciding between college, military or this home business thing. I tried my local colleges business administration program for 8 months but like high school, it just wasn't for me.
On top of that I couldn't join the military because I couldn't pass a drug test.. all of my income went straight to pills and pot… The thought of snorting pills still makes me gag to this day.
My only option was this home business deal known as Amway so I took $150 out of savings to join.
I thought I was investing in business ownership, but it was something much more. It was mentorship, new friends, the ability to travel, but most importantly, it was the personal development books and audios that I was introduced to that would finally set me free. Not financially free (just yet) but from hard drugs and my addictive personality.
Everyone has a story about their past, good or bad.
People need to hear your story folks… you might save someones life.
Unfortunately there are too many jive turkeys in this industry who put on a show by censoring their posts, copy and pasting Zig Ziglar quotes and not speaking their mind. I may be unorthodox, I may be controversial, but nobody can deny that I'm as real as it gets.
I don't hold back, neither should you. Period.
Here I am 5 yrs later, published author with multi-million dollar deals in my email. Don't forget where you came from!

About EDI
What is EDI?
The European Data Incubator (EDI) is an Innovation Action project co-funded by the European Union. The project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme under Grant Agreement No 779790. Furthermore, EDI is part of the Big Data Value PPP within a group of projects known as the Big Data Value PPP projects.
The objective of EDI is to facilitate the uptake of Big Data tools whilst increasing the technical and business skills of the selected start-ups/SMEs. The final aim is to give place to sustainable business incubation around Big Data.
How can EDI help me?
EDI can help you through clearly defined set of free technical and business services to develop a MVP (Minimum Viable Product) and reach commercial and/or investment agreements with data providers, corporates and/or private investors. Check them out at our website.
Is there any support for applicants without a selected idea?
No. Only the selected beneficiaries will be benefiting from EDI services.
What are the services like for the selected projects?
EDI will offer different services at each phase. Check section 8 'Services by EDI of the Guidelines for Applicants' for further information.
So, are you financing my initiative?
Your project idea could be financed if you are selected in any of the EDI calls. Conditions are found in the Guidelines for Applicants. A selected project could be funded up to €100k.
How does EDI work?
EDI is divided in phases. After the open call for proposals, the selected teams will join the programme comprising 3-phases of incubation/acceleration:
- EXPLORE – up to 45 projects will enter this phase.
- EXPERIMENT – the best 16 projects from EXPLORE will participate in this phase.
- EVOLVE – up to 6 start-ups/SMEs will access this last step.
What kind of projects are you looking for?
We are looking for commercial products and/or services to sort out major business challenges in a variety of domains and making use of a set of data assets provided by EDI data. Think about your business model as well as the technical stuff. The financial sustainability of what you propose is as important as the technology.
Where does the funding come from?
Funding is given by the EDI consortium under a Sub-Grantee Agreement signed by the selected proposers and EDI consortium. The funds are given by the European Commission (Horizon 2020 Framework Programme), which uses EDI incubator as intermediary.
What if I secure funds from other national or regional authorities for the same project?
Besides this, remember, double funding with Data Pitch is not allowed.
How does the funding mechanism work?
How to Participate
Who is eligible in the calls?
- SME: Individual projects (1 SME) of an SME established in an EU Member state or H2020 associated country and never in cooperation.
- Start-up: When there is not a constituted SME, the applicants could be a group between 2 to 4 individuals legally established in a H2020 eligible country and with a written commitment to have set up a legally registered SME if reaching "Experiment" phase.
A SME will be considered as such if accomplishing with the Commission Recommendation 2003/361/EC and the SME user guide. As a summary, the criteria which define a SME are:
- Headcount in Annual Work Unit (AWU) less than 250.
- Annual turnover less or equal to €50 million or annual balance sheet total, less or equal to €43 million.
Only applicants legally established, and working, in the case of the individuals, in any of the following countries will be eligible:
- The Member States (MS) of the European Union (EU), including their outermost regions;
- The Overseas Countries and Territories (OCT) linked to the Member States;
- H2020 Associated countries: according to the updated list published by the EC at http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/ref/h2020/grants_manual/hi/3cpart/h2020-hi-list-ac_en.pdf
How do I apply?
The F6S platform is the entry point for all proposals at https://www.f6s.com/edincubator. Submissions received by any other channel will be automatically discarded.
Is there any kind of restrictions we need to be aware of?
Yes. EDI will only fund initiatives making use of data assets offered by project data providers for experimentation available at EDI Data Catalogue: https://data.edincubator.eu
What are the preferred domains?
- Cross-domain challenges. It is compulsory to use data assets coming from at least two other domains than the origin of the dataset. The dataset original domain is defined in the Data Catalogue (https://data.edincubator.eu) and in the Challenge Catalogue (https://edincubator.eu/challenges/).
- Domain challenges on retail, energy & environment, smart cities, media & Internet and industry 4.0 per the needs detected by the data providers and defined in the Challenge Catalogue (https://edincubator.eu/challenges/).
How the cross-domain challenge should be addressed?
The idea is mixing domains: For example using a dataset containing energy information mixed with a dataset from a transport domain to generate whatever application, for creating an innovative product.
Should I use the datasets at proposal stage?
Can I submit several projects?
Given the fact this call is a competitive one, and the teams will focus in a specific challenge or project, only one proposal per SME or team will be evaluated.
In the case of a multi-submission by a SME or team, only the last one received (timestamp of the system) will enter into our evaluation process, being the rest declared as non-eligible.
If the last submitted proposal is declared then not-eligible or fails the thresholds of the evaluation, the rest of proposals will not be considered for evaluation in any case.
In the case of individuals:
- The same individuals forming a team will be selected for funding only once, as in the case of SMEs.
- Only the last submitted proposal by the same individuals forming a team will be evaluated, as in the case of SMEs.
- If an individual is taking part in several teams:
- The members of the other teams will be informed about the participation of an individual in multiple teams.
- The individuals participating in multiple teams will be requested to select only one proposal and will be removed from the others. This may affect the eligibility condition of the proposal, if the number of individuals goes under 2.
Can I submit the same proposal to data pitch?
Double funding is not acceptable. A team can submit to both programs but only be selected and supported by DATA PITCH or by EDI. Once a proposal is firstly funded by DATA PITCH or EDI, the team will be withdrawn from the other accelerator.
What's the deadline for the first call?
The 27th June of 2018 at 12.00 (noon) CEST. There will not be deadline extensions unless a major problem, caused by EDI and not by the proposers, makes the system unavailable.
Are you sharing any information about my proposal?
Yes. A summary of the proposals and the participants' information will be shared with the EC and with the DATA PITCH project. Moreover, we will publish an Open Dataset with the beneficiaries of our open call including their basic information data and funding received in our project website. This dataset will be made available at FIWARE Lab. At the same time, we will populate the wiki-sourced database of Crunchbase to facilitate access to the data of our start-ups and the incubator as such in one of the reference portals in the start-up ecosystem.
All the information that will be made public is clearly indicated in the official documentation of the call. Unless you want you, no technical insights will be published anywhere.
When filling up the application, should I fill all the fields? i.e. questions about product, market research etc.
Which type of information should I include in the market section?
Can I apply to the 2nd call if I am not selected in the 1st Call?
Selected Participants
When are we going to be paid?
During the negotiation phase a payment calendar will be included in the Sub-Grantee Agreement that will be signed by the selected teams and the EDI coordinator. As a general rule there will be no pre-financing, but payments will be divided through milestones across the different phases.
Do I have to keep track of my expenses for justifying the costs?
- For the EXPLORE phase all teams in the Datathon event will be awarded with €5,000.
- Payment linked to both EXPERIMENT and EVOLVE phases depend on the accomplishment of the KPIs defined.
If you spend more or less is your business. So administrative speaking, this is easy.
Is subcontracting allowed?
No. The general rule applicable to EDI project is that beneficiaries must have the appropriate resources to implement the full set of tasks needed within the project. This means it is not allowed to subcontract any part of the project. Examples (not restricted to) of subcontracting are, paying an external developer not in the company or being part of the team of individuals to develop certain parts, paying a research centre or foundation to execute technical tasks, etc. Employees of a company are never considered subcontractors but part of the company itself.
Is there any restriction for the SW to be used for the solution integration?
Is it allowed for the beneficiary to change team members during the project?
What is a Datathon?
Is physical presence needed at any time for the applicants?
The Data
Is the data in the public catalogue open?
Every dataset in the public catalogue contains its legal restrictions defined. Check them out here.
Is the data in the public catalogue the only data we will have access to?
The public catalogue contains only samples of the full datasets from the data providers of each challenge. Once the start-ups and SMEs reach the Experiment phase access will be granted to the full datasets for the challenge.
What about the property of my app/tool/software?
You are free to decide the type of licensing you will provide. Just consider the data you are using to build the mock-up or MVP might have copyright restrictions you will need to sort out with the data provider.
Is there a common Data Base with all the data?
Currently, there is a catalogue with data samples is available to support the proposal preparation. (see https://data.edincubator.eu). The selected companies for experimentation will have access to the full datasets subject to an agreement with the data provider.
Is it allowed to add external data to enrich the proposed solution?
Can the results obtained during the project (methods, algorithms) be published in a research paper?
Should I use the datasets at proposal stage?

Why is it that we're moved by some nonprofit videos and not so much by others?
We ask ourselves this here at the Center as we continue to partner with Access Fort Wayne to offer you – local nonprofits – the chance to make free PSA's about your work.
Today I was pleased and quite moved to see someone else take a shot at understanding this question. We've seen some great Nonprofit Storytelling Resources in the past, but today's post on the Getting Attention blog moved me for simple reasons.
Check out the videos here (from Children's Mentoring Connection in Findlay, Ohio) and consider how the stories about these four – two grownup and two young – folks who share time together in simple ways impact you.
Dennis & Anthony
She's Actually My Present
What do you think? No, actually, what do you feel when you see these? Would an agency snapshot with statistics and logos do the same thing? How could it?
There is a sweetness, a kind honesty in these short, clean, and somehow utterly revealing videos that cuts through any data or infographic I can imagine. We see nothing particularly flashy here. The video work is good, certainly, and the editing has shown an attention to detail that suggests a certain knowledge:
It's our shared humanity that compels us to act for the other – that lets us see how mentorship has connects these people to each other.
Is data important to donors? Perhaps it has it's place, but does it trump the power of the story of the individuals who participate in our programs with success?
Not so, says, Guest blogger, Julie Brown, Program Director at the Findlay-Hancock County Community Foundation in the post, "Successful Nonprofit Storytelling – Stay Humble:"
"Nonprofit directors—if you want to use a video to gain more funds or volunteers for the people you serve; let the story of one person inspire us to help you fulfill your mission. Just get out of the way and stay humble!"
I hope you click through to the blog post to see the data on growth in giving and volunteering that led Julie to make this conclusion about successful nonprofit videos.
As you consider how you will tell your agency story in 2014, how will you get out the way and let the individuals you serve give voice to their joy?

ECP Showcase Tops Expectations
In each of its first three years of existence, ECP has seen a significant increase in the overall talent level of its players, and Colleges nationwide are realizing that ECP has quickly become a rich source of high level football players who are ready to step in and make an immediate impact to football programs at all levels.
Evidence of this surge in interest was on display last Tuesday (12/1) when over sixty colleges showed up for the Third Annual ECP Showcase. An even more impressive number was the fact that over twenty of the schools in attendance were from Division I.
The staff and coaches of East Coast Prep expect that next year's showcase will raise the bar even higher.

Tia Mowry may have a spicy new pixie haircut, but it was not all happy times…she cried when she first saw it."I cried! I'm just going to be honest with you, I definitely cried," Mowry, 34, told Us Weekly. "I really wasn't expecting the shock value. "A lot of people ask me, 'What advice would you give to women who want to chop it off?' I said, 'Don;t think about it because if you do you won't do it.' But it's very liberating and it definitely saves time."
"I am so happy that I decided to cut my hair. It literally takes me three minutes to do my hair," she said. "I get out of the shower, put some conditioner in it, and it's just 'let's go' and I love that! I think it's very very important to find products that allow us to be able to have more time to do things like that."

Tip #15: Don't work harder. Instead work different. For some things this can be an easy concept. For other things this means challenging long held belief systems and expectations.
How do you work "harder" at paying attention? How do you work "harder" at managing impulsiveness. How do you work harder at remembering? Most likely, you can't. One of the many ADHD paradoxes; the harder you work at it, the worse it gets.
Instead, work differently at focus, impulsiveness, or memory. ie: address distractions in your environment, learn what time of day you're most attentive, address issues that are causing anxiety.
Break issues down and create a simple strategy to start implementing changes in what ever area of life you have been trying to work harder at. Use your creative brain to make it happen the way you need it to happen. It doesn't have to look or work just like everyone else s. http://ow.ly/i/2D1mG

PDVSA dominates the oil industry of Venezuela, the world's fifth largest oil exporter.
PDVSA purchased 50% of the United States gasoline brand Citgo from Southland Corporation in 1986 and the remainder in 1990.
Venezuela has 77.5 billion barrels (12,320,000,000 m�) of conventional oil reserves according to PDVSA figures, the largest in the Western Hemisphere and making up approximately half the total. This puts Venezuela as fifth in the world in proven reserves of conventional oil. By also including an estimated 235 billion barrels (37,400,000,000 m�) of tar-like extra heavy crude oil in the Orinoco Belt region, Venezuela claims to hold the largest hydrocarbon reserves in the world. Venezuela also has 150 trillion cubic feet of natural gas reserves.
PDVSA has a production capacity, including the strategic associations and operating agreements, of 4 million barrels per day (600,000 m�). Officials say production is around 3.3 million barrels per day (520,000 m�/d) although most secondary sources such as OPEC and the EIA put Venezuela's output at least 500,000 barrels per day (79,000 m�/d) lower.

text: Since I was 8 years old, I've known what I've wanted to do with my life: coach. As a child, sports of all kinds dominated my free time, both as a participant and a fan. As I grew older, it became clear to me just how impactful sports had been on shaping my life and grooming me into the young man I am today. As a result of that epiphany, I came to determine that nothing could be more rewarding to my own self than to reciprocate to young people the same time and attention coaches gave me throughout my life. In my time thus far coaching young people, seeing the way competition and experience in sports impacts and shapes them has been by far one of the most fulfilling and joyful experiences in my life.

We were off on our adventure…. The eclipse our goal—full totality. But for us, well, we like to pack as much as we can into the little time we have and this trip would be no different.
As I wrote in part one, my husband was already planning on traveling to the path of totality for the solar eclipse a year out. My husband likes to plan trips. He likes to explore. So, I knew when he said we were headed to Idaho that it would be an adventure….. and he made sure it was!
We left home Saturday morning and flew to Salt Lake City on a flight filled with others migrating north for the eclipse.
We arrived in Salt Lake City in the afternoon and headed straight to the rental car agency. We needed to be on the road as quickly as we could….there was lots to do and see on our drive north to Idaho.
The line at the rental car agency was long! I was surprised, despite the warnings, that so many people were doing the same thing as us….off on the great adventure to see a once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon. Okay, so maybe the hype wasn't too far off…. maybe we really did need to be prepared for anything! With hundreds of thousands heading toward totality, maybe the media hype and the dire warnings warranted paying attention to.
Finally, we were in our car and headed to our first stop, the store. We needed to stock up on water and snacks and get a gas can, just in case the predictions came true and gas stations ran out of gas. After all, we did need to make it back to Salt Lake City in two days to catch our flight home.
With supplies purchased and lunch eaten, we were finally on the road, driving north toward Burley, ID, where we were staying.
But first a slight detour on the way….
Yes, my husband likes to explore and often finds off-the-beaten-path, out-of-the-way, you-REALLY-want-to-go-there places to see. And I LOVE that about him. It makes our life interesting, traveling adventurous and gives us views of the world, specifically this wonderful country we live in, that we would not otherwise see. (Thankfully this trip did not involve any river fords!!)
We left the interstate before crossing into Idaho and headed west on a 2-lane highway. We were now amongst fields….ranches….farmland……all dotted with tiny towns that had no stores, no gas stations and no stop lights. We were in rural America and we loved the beauty and serenity.
As we drove down the road we wondered what life was like for these families, wishing we could just sit and talk and learn about this life that was so vastly different than where we lived… our life where there is a store or gas station on almost every corner, and restaurants to satisfy any desire. Out here, in the middle of fields and mountains there were homes that were surrounded by trees, islands in the midst of enormous fields and the nearest neighbor miles away. Strange to me to imagine life this way, yet the beauty and peace of this wide-open space invited me in. This life so foreign to me was just as strange and foreign as my life in a city was to those who lived here.
We enjoyed the drive, taking in the scenery and talking. And then we noticed a historical marker on the side of the road, causing us to make an impromptu stop…. History draws us both in, fascinated by the stories of life all across this great country. Here we learned that the road we were traveling and the valley along it were part of the California Trail, once traveled by pioneers and wagon trains….ahhhh….a happy place for me! I love the old west, the stories of the pioneers, the stories of traveling across the country in a wagon—setting out on a new adventure and traveling to a new place, unknown to them. I have longed thought I was born in the wrong century and often dreamt about living in the 1800's and traveling in a wagon….life on the prairie…..life of a pioneer and explorer. It would have been so cool!
Now as we continued on to our destination, I began to wonder what it was like for those early pioneers, how strange this world must have seemed to them and how BRAVE they were!
And then just a few miles short of our next stop we saw a Visitors Center, with wagons in the field, replicas of those used to travel the California Trail.
Now I could see the wagon in person and visualize what it must have been like traveling in that wagon across the rugged land.
Then I looked in the back of the wagon…….boy, those wagons looked much bigger inside when I saw them on old westerns, or on Little House on the Prairie, or imagined them as I read books about the old west….hmmm….
I looked into the back of the wagon, looked at my husband and told him- "No! It's too small. I wouldn't have made it!"
He laughed!
I am so happy I could entertain him.
And then we continued on to our planned stop, City of Rocks National Reserve, a place you really HAVE to want to go to.
City of Rocks National Reserve is now a mecca for rock climbers….a place filled with massive rocks jutting up out of the ground. Beautiful. Huge. A paradise for those who seek the thrill of climbing….of heights. We enjoyed the drive through the reserve, stopping to take photos, explore and to watch those brave souls high on the rocks.
But City of Rocks National Reserve also has a history. Here the California Trail crossed and in the valley those early pioneers rested, setting up camp and carving their names in what is now known as Camp Rock. I stood with my husband overlooking the vast valley, dotted with huge boulders and surrounded by massive rock formations now used for climbing and wondered what it was like to travel this route in that wagon, the visual of the size now fading….I was once again transported to a time I had longed to live. After traveling across the flat plains, what did those travelers think about this rugged land? Did they fall in love with the beauty or did they fear what was ahead and the dangers of the ruggedness? Oh, how I wanted to sit there in that valley and be a part of those days…..
I loved City of Rocks National Reserve and our time exploring. My husband knows how to make our travels an adventure. I also enjoyed my time imagining a life long ago, one I could only dream about, a world I wished I had been born into….
And then the next day on our trip I had an opportunity to learn more about those early pioneers, their life and to see a part of the Oregon trail. And I learned that the reality of those wagon trains was VERY different than I had imagined….those wagons were more for the supplies and those very BRAVE souls WALKED….they didn't ride….they WALKED most of the time. And a woman's work was never done…at the end of a long day of travel, she would cook the dinner, clean, do laundry, take care of the chores and then go to bed, long after the rest of her family…..hmmm….walking long days and then long hours of chores…..hmmmm
I again looked at my husband, who was smiling at me as I read the information and I said "THAT would have been REALLY difficult! Nope! I wouldn't have made it.."
He laughed even harder!
How I admire the strength and courage of those pioneers paving the way for those who would come after them. And I will continue to read the stories and dream of that life and what it was like for them, what it would have been like for me had I been born in that era.
And though, today, in this moment in my life…one filled with comfort and conveniences, I know that I would not have been able to live the way they did in the 1800's, I also realize that this realization is not about me, but about what I know today. When I look back in time with the knowledge and context of 2017, of course I wouldn't be able to live the way the pioneers did! I know different. I live different. So, with this context, no, I couldn't have done it….
Had I been born in that time it would have been different. In looking back on history it really is about context, the knowledge and the world at THAT time. Realizing that I needed to put it into the context of those days, that time, the knowledge and way of life then, well, THAT changed things. By looking at the past in the context of the past, the knowledge and the way of life, it changed my belief in my ability to do it. This epiphany meant that had I been born in the 1800's, then those wagon trains, the traveling, the hard work would have been normal, it would have been doable. By putting it into the right context, I realized that I WOULD have been able to DO IT! Despite my doubts in my abilities, I am strong and brave and what gets me through my days now….my family, my friends, my faith….ALL would have gotten me through those days, those travels, those times.
As I shared this new thought process with my husband, he smiled and laughed.
And I once again began to dream about living in the 1800's and traveling by wagon.
If I had been born in the 1800's, I have NO DOUBT that I would have taken the leap……and trusted as I set out with my family to travel the unknown in search of a new life!

[Movie] R.I.P.D
But yeah, I did watched them. Probably because of Jeff Bridges white-southern-marshal's sexy accent. And it was really sexy. Rey Reynold was not bad as well. But if both main casts are not that bad, then what went wrong with this movie? Like all other movie that have great actors in it, no matter how good the actor is, sometimes the movie just.. you know, sucks.
Click on read more if you wanted to know more, because I don't to spoil anyone's movie experience and whatnot, and also, I'm entitled to my own opinion. Just because I said the movie is bad, doesn't mean you won't like it though.
Ok, so click read more, if you wanted to know what makes me feel disappointed in this movie. I'm telling you right now, its not exactly a big reason. But in a way, it did ruin my entire expectation, and my expectation, is not that high.
To you who have watched the movie R.I.P.D trailer from Youtube, congratulations, you just watched the movie. That's right. The trailer is what ruining the whole movie. Apparently, when I watched the movie in the cinema, I couldn't help feeling that I'm watching the longer version of the trailer. Everything goes just as in the trailer, as in I've already know the entire plot. The guy's dead, recruited into the R.I.P.D, went on his first mission against a dead'o in the apartment, fall from the apartment through the window, also fight the fatass in the suits, had a car chase with the dead'o hanging by the moving car, a fatass dead'o got shot in the ass, also a wormhole appeared to spit out the dead back to the world of the living. Its uncanny, compared with what had been revealed in the trailer.
There are no suspense, no new insight, nothing out of expectation, at all. And I cannot express it more than I already had, I have a reeaaally low expectation. In fact, I was expecting that movie would be at least entertaining. And so I did entertained with Jeff Bridges act a dead southern marshal, also his character name is 'Roy Pulsipher', where Nick Walker (Rey Reynold) says that the name sounded like an 'STD', which it actually does.
But then again, there were only dry jokes here and there, and there isn't really something else going on like.. what the 'fuckery' is going on when most of the events happened in broad daylight. Like the part where the dead'o coalition were trying to reverse the path of afterlife back to world of the living, its was in the noon. As in when everyone was sitting around in cafe drinking coffee or latte, and then that cafe got ripped to shreds when the wormhole tore right through all of those buildings and parking lots..
But the salt to the wound, would be the trailer. It was the biggest and the most irresponsible thing to do when you include every fine and fun point of the film all in the trailers, and all that was left to see was some random conversation between the two R.I.P.D officers.. which you already know where it headed. So yeah, entertainment ruined, thank you very much.
But I still gonna buy a DVD of it. The movie is a good choice for movie marathon, and I'm gonna put it along with my movie collections. It just that.. I feel like, it was really a waste to go and watch it in the cinema.. its like watching Sesame Streets TV series in the cinema. Fun, but not exactly worth it to sit in a hall with a huge screen..

Favorite Fuzzy Slippers or???
Do things matter? If so, don't be shy - which ones do you cherish and why?
The "things" that matter to me are: my grandmother's quilts, my photo albums, a wooden antique angel statue, art work by friends, and my books.
The reasons behind most of the items are obvious: they are handmade by people I love, or they represent family and friends, good memories together.
The angel statue is just very rare and unique - something I stumbled across in the back room of an old store that is no longer.
The books? I am just a bookworm and reading brings me great joy.
So confess - what comfort items or gadgets could you not give up?

Thursday, 6 August 2009
Just finished Alice Munro's The View from Castle Rock. This is very different from her previous short story collections because it's rooted in her family history and the memories of her own childhood and more recent past. In the introduction Alice Munro underlines the way we shape the narratives of our lives into stories when we're reminiscing, editing and embellishing them, obedient to the templates of story-telling we absorb as children. She writes about the process of researching her family's origins and writing about her ancestors; 'I put all this material together over the years, and almost without my noticing what was happening, it began to shape itself, here and there, into something like stories. Some of the characters gave themselves to me in their own words, others rose out of their situations. Their words and my words, a curious re-creation of lives, in a given setting that was as truthful as our notion of the past can ever be.' She traces her family history from the bleak austerities of eighteenth century Scotland to twenty first century Canada in a series of thoughtful explorations of the conflicts between landscape and character, individual and circumstance. But in the end what she writes is not fact but fable - 'These are stories' she insists, adding, 'You could say that such stories pay more attention to the truth of a life than fiction usually does.'
Ernest Hemingway: A Moveable Feast: the Restored Version
I didn't realise that the version published in the 60s after Hemingway committed suicide had been significantly edited by his publisher and his fourth wife. Now Hemingway's grandson has found the original manuscript and published it as it stands. That doesn't mean it's how Hemingway would have published it, but at least it's how it was written.
There's a steamy, glowering photograph of Hemingway on the cover and it looks satisfyingly retro. It's a memoir of the author's early years in Paris in the nineteen twenties with his first wife. He talks about his relationship with James Joyce, Ezra Pound, (who kept a supply of opium for a friend), F. Scott Fitzgerald (usually drunk), Ford Madox Ford (who had halitosis), the terrifying Gertrude Stein, and the proprietor of the Shakespeare bookshop, Sylvia Beach. There's even a glimpse of Aleister Crowley striding past in the street, and Scott Fitzgerald's wife Zelda gets a minor role - mad and bad at Juan les Pins. In between these encounters we are treated to Hemingway's thoughts on underwear, sex, boxing, racing, french food and french toilets, and the way a writer converts experience into copy - input and output.
Even more interesting than the vignettes is the way Hemingway writes about the process of writing - or rather, becoming a writer. One of the sections that his wife originally deleted is a musing on the pitfalls of writing in the 1st person. This is fascinating because big chunks of the memoir were deliberately written by H in the second person 'you' and that was altered by his wife, who converted the whole manuscript back to the first person. He spent quite a lot of time writing in cafès, partly to get out of the small flat he shared with his wife and baby, and partly because he found the atmosphere conducive to writing. They were 'transitional places' and he found it easier in one place, to write about another. He watched people and listened to their conversations . He had particular working rules 'I always worked until I had something done and I always stopped when I knew what was going to happen next. That way I could be sure of going on the next day.' He would then go and do something completely different; 'I learned not to think about anything that I was writing from the time I stopped writing until I started again the next day. That way my subconscious would be working on it and at the same time I would be listening to other people and noticing everything.'
There's always a perspective in memoir. This is an old man writing about a young man's life with the disadvantage of knowing how it all turned out in the end. The Hemingway who wrote this was a wounded animal, though he was scarcely into his sixties. His painful references to the failure of his memory (after Electric Shock Treatment) and loss of confidence in his own ability to continue writing, were excised in the original version by his wife and publisher - here they are given as they were written. The result is a more chaotic account of his years in Paris, more confessional than you'd expect from Hemingway, but also - perhaps - just a little closer to how that period of his life was actually lived.

First I want to thank everybody for their sweet comments on my blog , to me this is a big stimulation to go on !!

So what shall I show here ??? Reading Carol's blog , I saw that she showed us a wonderful sampler she made in the past .... When I just started my stitching , I really was ( and still am ) a samplerfreak ... I just love samplers !!! On this pic you can see a few of the samplers that are framed ... most of them are still waiting in a drawer to be framed ..
It also reminded me that under my bed there is a huge suitcase full of things I ever stitched ... tableclothes, little sceneries , and lots of folk stitching from all over the word ... I will ask my DB if he can make pics of my folkstitching for a next blog maybe ....
hugs, Patti

Will Acme Packet Remain a Dud?
05/30/2012 7:45 am EST
Focus: STOCKS
You may think that this company is a 21st-century version of a Wile E. Coyote gadget to catch the Road Runner...but this firm is on its way from dog to darling again, writes Rob DeFrancesco of Tech-Stock Prospector.
I approached the first-quarter earnings report from Acme Packet (APKT) with much trepidation. After two poor quarters in a row, I knew the institutional crowd was prepared to take this stock down hard on another miss.
With the shares already off more than 60% from the 52-week high, Acme Packet is like a faded Hollywood starlet trying to regain her fame. But just one really strong quarter from this former high flyer, and the fast-money crowd will come running back.
As it turned out, there were no negative or positive surprises in the March quarter. The key metrics came in at plan and Wall Street showed general acceptance of the numbers. Per-share earnings of 17 cents matched the consensus estimate, and revenue of $70.8 million was slightly above the consensus of $69.3 million. Gross margin stayed flat sequentially at 83%.
The company added 70 new customers (bringing its total count to 1,688), including 46 enterprise accounts and 24 service-provider accounts.
On the earnings conference call, management reaffirmed its conservative 2012 revenue growth guidance of 10%. While that growth rate is nothing to write home about, the fact that guidance was maintained was good enough, at least for now. CEO Andy Ory said Acme Packet should see sequential revenue growth in each of the next three quarters.
Acme Packet is still on its feet. However, the company is not out of the woods, as management is modeling that revenue in the second half of the year will account for 58% of total revenue, up from an average of 54% over the past five years. That sets a high bar for the third and fourth quarters.
For sure, there were plenty of analyst questions on the earnings call concerning this expected sharp revenue ramp in the back half. What gives management the conviction that things will really begin to turn up after June?
It always concerns me when management teams predict back end-loaded years. The risk of whiffing the numbers is just so high because a lot can happen in a technology segment over the course of several months. And in Acme Packet's case, bookings have not yet shown any real improvement, particularly on the important carrier side of the business, which accounts for 79% of total revenue.
Ory did say the "funnel" on the enterprise side was very strong, even calling it "the largest enterprise funnel in North America that we have ever seen." In this case, the funnel is customer interest in the form of inquiries or price quotes. The funnel indicates intent, but that's very different from actual orders in hand.
For 2012, the company's enterprise business (21% of total revenue) is expected to help carry the show. Acme Packet, which has the leading market share (34%) in enterprise SBCs, now counts nearly 600 enterprise customers, and looks for this segment to put up 2012 revenue growth of at least 40% because of strong demand for SIP trunking, which saves businesses a lot of money by routing voice calls over the Internet.
Indeed, it was a good sign that Verizon Business (VZ) was back as a 10%+ customer in Q1, representing 16% of total revenue.
On the call, Ory predicted that Acme Packet's enterprise unit could represent half of total revenue in three years thanks to the massive growth cycle taking place. However, the company must deal with the current reality that its core service-provider business, particularly in North America, remains stagnant.
Carrier spending really fell off the cliff in the second half of 2011 and there are currently no strong signals that the environment has changed for the better, meaning the Q2 earnings report will be yet another high-risk event.
Looking ahead, Acme Packet sees solid growth potential from Voice-over-LTE (VoLTE), and is involved in what it terms 27 carrier "opportunities" (up from 25 in Q4), including ten confirmed architectural wins. Later this year, MetroPCS will be the first Acme Packet customer to go live with VoLTE.
There is no question that VoLTE represents a huge potential market—there are 5 billion TDM endpoints that could be transitioned to the new technology. The problem is timing, because this is mainly a 2013 and 2014 revenue event. For now, Acme Packet shares remain a high risk-high reward situation.

Grantham Journal column: Think of your own race
Current demands for compensation by countries once cruelly exploited by the British Empire strike a painful nerve with me.
If anyone deserves reparation for the despicable exploits of the British Raj all those years ago, it is not those now being swamped with lavish international aid and becoming wealthier than we are.
It is the formerly poverty-stricken and currently austerity-ridden ordinary citizens of these 'sceptred' isles themselves.
Our aristocracy didn't just plunder other members of the empire. They oppressed our ancestors for centuries as part of building it up to a regime which ruled and robbed most of the known world.
But what compensation or aid do we get from our present financially obsessed government, which forces us to resort to foodbanks and the like while sending sizeable percentages of our wealth to some countries who don't really need it anymore?
Commonwealth nations and countless others benefit from the misery of British taxpayers to the tune of making them even richer than we ought to be.
Almost every day we are told that we must rein in our public spending to impossible levels, while billions of pounds are given away abroad.
Even if you are among those who do not believe charity begins at home, you must see that there are serious flaws in our current financial management.
You can't have it both ways – or perhaps you can – as the present perpetrators are getting away with it as far as many voters see it.
Compensate those who merit it by all means, which is what we have been doing for years...and more.
But spare a thought for those of your own race, who have suffered poverty, lost loved ones in wars they had no part in causing and have worked themselves to the bone, for what?
A large portion of the truth we never get might be one thing.

The Crew, an open-world racing game from Ivory Tower, will launch for Xbox One, PS4 and PC on November 11, Ubisoft has announced!
With the games expected launch date in Q1 2014 eventually slipping to a predicted September, the news of a November 11th release is somewhat later than gamers had hoped. Hopefully this will give the developers time to really get the game polished!
If you cant wait, however there is an upcoming beta (which you can sign up for here) that is due to launch on July 23rd.
For now we get to watch this rather stunning E3 Trailer:

Dave Brubeck quotes and sayings
It's like a whole orchestra, the piano for me. And also it's to me the greatest instrument. I shouldn't say that, but I believe that this is the only instrument I can really feel happy about playing.
Dave Brubeck quotes
- My own Brubeck Institute in California is turning out fantastic young jazz players, and I know great things will happen.
- What I want to happen is to be really creative, and to play something new in the improvisations, every time.
- I have more energy at the end than I do at the beginning. You can be so beat up that you can scarcely walk on stage but when you get to the piano the excitement kicks in, you forget about being tired.
- Jazz stands for freedom. It's supposed to be the voice of freedom: Get out there and improvise, and take chances, and don't be a perfectionist - leave that to the classical musicians.
- There's a way of playing safe, there's a way of using tricks and there's the way I like to play which is dangerously where you're going to take a chance on making mistakes in order to create something you haven't created before.
- And there is a time where you can be beyond yourself. You can be better than your technique. You can be better than most of your usual ideas. And this is a whole other category that you can get into.
- I'm always hoping for the nights that are inspired where you almost have an out of body experience.
- I wanted to be like my father, who was a cattle man and a rodeo roper. And that was - he was my hero, and I wanted to be more like him.
- It's like a whole orchestra, the piano for me.
- We don't know the power that's within our own bodies.

In the 1920s and '30s, Hayes McMullan played blues around his home in the Mississippi Delta. He shared the stage with the likes of Charley Patton and Willie Brown, but gave it up after his brother Tom, a more popular local bluesman, died of poisoning. It wasn't until blues archivist Gayle Dean Wardlow's chance meeting in 1967 that the blues-guitarist-turned-church-deacon-and-civil-rights-activist finally preserved his songs to tape. Those landmark sessions are now available for the world to discover the greatest Delta bluesman they've never heard.
The most striking element of Everyday Seem Like Murder Here is McMullan's guitar playing. He hadn't played the instrument in over thirty years, yet his lines are fluid and modern, as if the booze Wardlow secretly provided to him during the recording sessions acted as a time-travel vessel. Here, the origins of The Flamin' Groovies, AC/DC, Hawkwind and, obviously, The Rolling Stones unfold, each song a mind-blowing expression of pure, unadulterated six-string genius accompanied by McMullan's strong yet tender voice. Wardlow's recorded interviews with McMullan break up the tracks, perfectly encapsulating the era from which this music was borne.
Hayes McMullan may once have been lost to time, but now his legacy is finally preserved, allowing him to reach the ranks of Charley Patton, Lead Belly and Robert Johnson. Perhaps there is justice after all…

The Stags lost out to The Skolars in a close fought Good Friday derby game, played in some of thw worst weather seen at Pennine Way for many years! The game was in the balance right up to the end and it was a releived Skolars side when they heard the final hooter.
London kicked off in the heavy rain that was set to continue for the next 80 minutes, by which time was it not only difficult to identify different players it was hard to tell which team was which.
Hemel have clearly learned a lesson from previous games this season in which they have conceeded tries almost from the kick off. This week they were straight on the pace and as well as showing some solid defence to keep te Skolars at bay they showed promise in attack.
Both sides seemed keen to play the game up the middle of the park where the ground looked firmest and tested each other out but it was the Stags who got the scoreboard moving first on 15 minutes. A grubber kick by Ricky Hough found its way over the line and a quick thinking Jordan Fitzpatrick-Parry was the first to reach it to dot it down for 4 points. Braden Hunter making the tricky touchline conversion easy to take the Stags to 6 points.
Skolars seemed to step their game up a notch and put heavy pressure on the Stags line ganing a couple of goal line drrop outs, finally the Stags defence was breached on 23 minutes, former Stags man Jy-Mel Coleman going in under a pile of bodies. Thorman converted to bring the scores level.
A penalty to Skolars in front of the goalposts on 34 minutes was kicked by Thorman, then another for dissent almost on the stroke of half time was again taken by a grateful Thorman making the score at the break Stags 6 Skolars 10.
The teams came out for the second half with the rain sstill teeming down but the game was still there to be won for either side. With only 4 minutes gone a penalty to the visitorrs for a higgh tackle saw them again elect to take the easy option of two [oints. Those three penalties either side of the break were to prove pivitol as the 6 points taken by London were the difference between the sides at the close of play.
A try by another ex Stag, Eddie M'Baraga, with 15 mnutes to go, Thorman completing a 100% performance with the boot seemingly put the game out of Hemel's reach and when another penalty went against them 2 minutes later, Chris Heil kicked the ball away in frustration earning him 10 minutes in the bin.
The Stags never gave up the chase thogh and with just 3 minutes left on te clock, Jono Burns went over for a try quickly converted by Hunter but ultimatly the time rn out and as a releived Skolars team celebrated the Stags were left thinking what might have been without those 3 costly penalties.

Tutorial videos are available to prospective customers of 123 Insight's MRP/ERP system, either via a USB stick containing hours of tutorial videos or they can gain immediate access to the content online.
The videos are broken down by role, allowing department managers such as sales, purchasing, stores, quality and accounts to review the information that is critical for their jobs.
Guy Amoroso, MD says "The online versions can be viewed on a desktop, tablet or even a mobile. Each video is around 10 to 15 minutes in length – enough time to provide a great deal of information without significantly impacting on the working day. Breaking the videos down into job-specific content helps to answer the common questions and concerns that individual managers have, dispelling many of the traditional myths about the impact of implementing MRP."

The Beijing Motor Show (better known as Auto China) opened today and among the big debuts was the formal introduction of the new BMW i8 Spyder and with it – announcing the new eDrive name given to the through the road hybrid drivetrain found in these sporty European super-hybrids.
Early this month, BMW issued a statement announcing the existence of the new BMW i8 Spyder – a topless version of the slippery i8 sport hybrid but today at Auto China, the i8 Spyder rolled into the public eye for the first time. In addition to introducing the open air version of the i8 hybrid sports car, today's debut formally introduced the new eDrive name of the through the road hybrid drivetrain used in the i8 and i8 Spyder. The eDrive name applies to all upcoming electric and plug-in hybrid models coming in the near future from the BMW i lineup, which will include the compact, all-electric i3.
The eDrive system in the new BMW i8 Spyder includes a 131 horsepower electric motor that drives the front wheels and a 1.5L gasoline engine that drives the rear wheels with a total output of 354 horsepower and 405lb-ft of torque. This includes a 223 horsepower 3-cylinder gasoline engine, a lithium ion battery pack, a 131 horsepower electric motor that was developed internally by BMW and an intelligent motor management system that will be shared throughout all of the upcoming electric and hybrid models…although we would expect that we will see a wide variety of variations and output numbers from future models. This is the same drivetrain that we have seen in the concept versions of the BMW i3 and BMW i8 but with the debut of the i8 Spyder in Beijing – this is the first time that a model has worn the eDrive name.
