What greatest gift can we make ourselves than the gift of travelling? Travelling brings memories and experiences and those are the only things that we take with us, in the end. As you grow older you realise that the things you truly care about is not the money and how much you have on your bank account, even though having a stable and decent bank account is a good thing to have... you realise the things that matter the most are the experiences and the moments that you can take with you, wherever you will go. When you will go down, when you will die, you will not be able to take with you the brand new apartment you bought, nor that fancy car and not even that fat bank account. The only things that will remain with us in the afterlife are the memories, the experiences and the love we have found in the people we met and the places we have seen. I have met people who have travelled the world, left their footprints on each continent... I have not yet done that, but I dearly wish one day I shall :) and I have met people that never travelled beyond their homeland. To me that is a sad thing, never to experience what the world has to offer, it's beauties, it's magical sights. It is also true that some people are born to travel and they have an opening to the world's vibrations, and on the other hand there are people who feel comfortable as they are. That's why God made us so unique and different from one another :)
- Travel opens your eyes - When you are no longer locked in your comfort zone you start understanding more about yourself but also about the world you live in. You start seeing beyond your comfortable place and start exploring different cultures; you will start asking yourself and others questions you have never thought until then and you will maybe try to understand how other people think and react according to their own culture and environment. You will understand that we are all human beings but at the same time we have differences that should be respected not stepped over and dragged into mud... Travel opens your eyes to a world you might have only known through documentaries or atlas books.
- Travel teaches you more about who you are, than anyone/anything else can! - When you start travelling you start pushing yourself out of the comfort zone, and only outside the comfort zone can we truly learn something new. Travelling brings you opportunities (and sometimes even threats) at every step that you make, so you will learn how to make the right decisions and to learn more about yourself. You will see what is your travelling style: if you like backpacking, couchsurfing, being layed back in an all inclusive option or just going with the flow. You will also see how you can handle things in a setup trip vs. an impromptu one, travelling with a huge group or with friends vs. travelling on your own. There are so many options - so many learning opportunities to find yourself! :)
- Travel develops skills you forgot you had or you never thought you have! - Remember when you were little and you were watching Sailor Moon (and other anime) dubbed in Italian language? That's pretty much how I learned Italian, the kids brains are like sponges... so when I went to Rome I thought that I would handle it all in English... tough luck! They really like their own language so you should know at least a bit of it and be able to understand Latin languages. Bare in mind that Romanian is a Latin language so I was more than happy to find out that I can understand almost everything that they were saying + I could reply back with basic words. The smile on their faces brought a smile on mine and I was fascinated to see how we still hold skills in ourself that we know nothing of, until they are activated :)
- Travel will teach you more about cuisine than any other cooking channel - and you will also figure out what you like and what you love to eat vs. what you will never try. I have been offered to eat crickets and ants and I think I will always draw a line at that! But I most enjoyed the food I had in Greece - the fresh Greek salad with loads of olives and feta cheese + the amazing hot and delicious meaty mousaka = Heaven, for me :) Second best will always be the amazingly huge English Breakfast that I had in London + the egg crest sandwiches from Pret a Manger... my mouth waters ;))) You will also learn how countries have some dishes in common, even though they will always say they are "typically xyz" (xyz - insert country).
- Travel makes you more social - Let's face it, even with all the technology, information points/spots and all the maps in the world, you will probably get lost once or you will need to ask for some directions... and you will have to make human contact ;) so once more you will have to step out of your comfort zone, take a deep breath, and engage - make contact - with other human beings. As all human beings, some will not answer, some will just pass you by, some will tell you that they don't understand you nor speak the language... but don't discourage! You will find that person who will help you + sometimes give you even extra tips for free ;) restoring your faith in humankind ;)))
- Travel will give you amazing stories and memories - that you will be able to share and re-share over and over again, to your family/friends and when you are older to your children... grandchildren... who knows?! :) I will always remember the time when I went with friends to the Niagara Falls and we did not check that we had it setup for the Canadian side, not the USA one... so we ended up crossing the border without the visa... ending up with a bit of questioning from the frontier police. Or that time when me and my significant other went to the Koln Carnival and I almost had a heart attack climbing the Koln Cathedral Tower, or the time when we played 3D golf ;)))
- Travel makes you comfortable with yourself and being on your own - Travelling on your own means you will have to learn to enjoy your own company and feel comfortable with yourself. You will learn the amount of baggage you can hustle and the amount of time you need for waking up, getting ready and hitting the road. You will learn to quiet your mind and feel comfortable with whom you are. Sure, at the beginning the experience will be daunting! but you will grow out of it eventually and start enjoying it. TIPS & TRICKS: I still hate selfies and selfie sticks so I always ask people to take my photo... sometimes I wait for someone who looks like they know what they are doing and hold a pretty good camera, and I ask them to take my picture and I can take theirs ;)
- Travel will help you relax and unwind; it can also act as an energy boost ;) For me, discovering new places and seeing new things is always exhilarating and makes me feel wonderful and pumped up for days. I think I would not enjoy an all inclusive 10 days at the beach as much as I would enjoy a weekend, let's say in Prague, where we would wonder around the old cobblestoned town and enjoy the views from the Castle. Add to that a trip to the Beer Museum and a live concert in the evening and you got me booked ;) I will be smiling and happy and energetic for one more and one more day and place to see. Or maybe you are the layed back type and you would enjoy the 10 days at the beach, sipping on drinks and enjoying the sunset. Maybe that will give YOU your energy boost :) We are all so different and there is room for everyone's needs ;) that is the beauty of travelling!
- Travel reminds you that (inevitably) we are getting older and you need to learn to cope with that - you will see, in time, that doing the same type of travels that you had as teenager are not fitting for the young adult and once you will have kids, the travel type and locations will again change. But don't take that as a negative thing! Always look at the bright side of life and see the beauty that you can extract from that. I can hardly wait, for example, to show my husband and our future small ones, the places I grew to love as a teenager. I can hardly wait to show them Greece and take them to the Mountain Olimp or the Meteora Churches or even enjoy a day at the soft sandy beaches of one of the lovely islands... Start searching for Heaven in your life ;) you will end up finding it!
- Travel is addictive (in a good/positive way): you WILL catch the Flight Travel Bug - I dunno about you, but the first time I got into a plane it was love at first sight. I knew since that very moment that I will always love flights and that sitting by the window would be a must (if possible!). My first flight was from Bucharest to New York, direct flight of over 8 hours and I loved it. I remember not even getting bored - I watched movies, I listened to music, I read a book, I talked with people and I most definetely enjoyed the view. Being there, up in the clouds, is such an uplifting experience! Sure, ocasionally there will be thunders and clouds and turbulences and your heart may race a bit... but hey! that will be one more nice story to tell at the end of the day ;) every cloud has its silver lining!
How about you? What do you think Travel does to you? How does it make YOUR life better? I would love to hear your stories and your thoughts upon this subject on this #traveltuesday post :) As I said before, sharing is caring, so let me know what you think/feel :)
Yours sincerely,
The Twisted Red LadyBug that loves to travel

I'm sitting here watching the season premiere of The 4400 on the USA network. I watched most of last season and enjoyed it quite a bit. The show seemed to have an interesting and unique premise.
4400 people were abducted from different points in time and taken to the future. One day, they all appeared near a lake in Washington, unaged. This is how the first season opened. We learned that they each began to display special powers. For example, one creepy little girl could see the future. Another woman could control the level of adrenaline in other people. There is even a guy who can read minds. The government then put the 4400 in quarantine and began secretly injecting them with an "inhibitor" to curb their powers. This was exposed at the end of last season.
I was hooked. I thought it was clever and intriguing.
Now, I'm beginning to wonder. I didn't notice before, but this show seems to be a direct rip-off of the X-Men premise. There are these people (the 4400) with special powers who are misunderstood and feared by much of the public. Within the 4400 there is a small group that has gone rogue and have begun killing the leaders of the non-4400 in the government who they believe are trying to destroy them. Sound familiar? All they need is a leader who can control magnetic fields.
The government is using the 4400 who can read minds to locate the other 4400. The difference is that he's a black guy and has hair. Oh, he can walk, too. They've got a guy who can heal people more quickly than they heal themselves. He does not have foot long blades embedded in his hands.
I'm just waiting for the episode in which the government builds huge robots with which to hunt the 4400.
I'm sure I'm not the only person who has noticed this. Let's hope that Marvel doesn't notice or this show will be cancelled in no time.

Oh So Sweet - 4 October 2010
Ian Weithers, a participant from last year's ICECP program, was asked to return for the upcoming program as a peer mentor. Ian also referred to as "Sweetness" established himself as a leader in the 2009 program by interacting and providing a helping hand with the other ICECP coaches. Ian was not assigned to do the courageous acts but went out of his way to help individuals with their computers, presentations, understanding of the English language and providing a shoulder for one to lean on.
Throughout the course Ian designed a successful Judo project titled: Development of Selection Criteria for Pre Elite Judo Athletes. Ian noticed that in his country judo athletes were selected mainly upon their sport results. His program was to establish a multi component system for selecting pre elite athletes. After conducting his research and implementing his project he discovered that selecting athletes on various aspects is a more effective selection process. The four key points that Ian chose to observe in an athlete before the selection process are: sport result, mental toughness, technical ability and weight management.
Ian Weithers current position is the Junior and Senior Head Coach of Barbados Judo Association. At the age of six he began his Judo training. Ian was a competitive player up to fifteen years old. Ian was the national champion throughout this time period. From 1985-1988 he left the sport to study radiation therapy in the United Kingdom. When he returned from the United Kingdom he reentered judo as a blue belt and escalated to a black belt by 1990. Currently Ian is a fifth degree black belt.
Besides participating in the 2009 ICECP program Ian has conducted and assisted in several international coaching clinics in United Kingdom, Suriname, the Bahamas and most recently in Macedonia. He has attended local, regional and international coaching courses to further his knowledge and experience. Ian was a part of the Pan American Sport Organization in Ecuador, United States and Cuba where he focused on judo specific activities. Ian received an IOC diploma from Semmelweis University, Budapest.
When asked about what was so special about the ICECP compared to other coaching programs Ian responded, "It is a program with a difference." He explained that the ICECP is the only course he has attended that required a coach to create a specific project and carry it out within their country. Ian's word of wisdom for the 2010 international coaches is "To be open. Be an empty cup." He explained that top level coaches sometimes feel that they are superior and know all, but that in this program they must be open to change and listen to other coaches.
The University of Delaware along with the ICECP staff and coaches would like to thank Ian Weithers for all of his effort and commitment to the program and willingness to aid and mentor this year's participants.

Put your pictures in motion by attaching your digicam to the handlebars of your bike
Some people might wonder why the heck anyone would want to attach their digital camera to the handlebars of their bike. Well, in the old days of traditional photography, this didn't make much sense. You couldn't see through the viewfinder while pedaling, so composition was little more than a wild guess.
But many of today's digicams have variable-angle LCD monitors. This means that you can pull the monitor out from the back of the camera and adjust it to your viewing angle. This is a perfect example of how one technology (digital still photography), can be borrowed from another (digital video). Digital video camcorders have used swiveling LCDs from the get-go.
For cycling fans, this means that you can mount your camera on the handlebars, swing the screen upward, and monitor your composition in real time while you're peddling; just don't forget to watch the road, please! This is a great opportunity for you to share your adventures with those who don't ride with you.
If your camera has one of these nifty swiveling monitors, then chances are good that it also has a remote release that you can hold in one hand while riding. Most of these releases not only enable you to trip the shutter, but they also have buttons to let you zoom the lens to different focal lengths. You can literally compose and shoot while on the ride.
If you really want to get creative, enable the Movie mode on your camera and take short video clips of your travels. Try to find a smooth surface while recording video so that the movie isn't too choppy.
A clever way to make all this happen is to get an UltraClamp (US$29.95) and UltraMount (US$10.95) by Pedco, and secure the entire rig to your bicycle. Pedco's products, including the fantastic UltraPod, are distributed by BKAphoto.com (http://www.bkaphoto.com). The store finder on their site can help you find the closest retail outlet.
Once your digicam is mounted, choose still pictures or movies and fire that shutter. You will get images unlike any others that you normally shoot. Just remember to be safe while you're doing so.

Restatement of MAAC Position Regarding Federal Regulations
Posted: May 26, 2017Date: May 6 2017
The MAAC directors have been receiving messages from a few of its members and a few non-members, asking why the Model Aeronautics Association of Canada (MAAC), never spoke or lobbied for the folks that were flying outside of the MAAC organization. This is a draft response to those people.
With the recent announcements from Transport Canada, we would like to take this opportunity to provide clarification in regards the role MAAC played in advocating for all recreational hobbyists.
The "Interim Order" restricting recreational modellers that was issued in March by the current federal government has added to confusion surrounding MAAC's role. The "Interim Order" was an independent initiative from the Transport Minister, conceived outside the established consultation/legislative process. MAAC had no direct input on the restrictions imposed by the Minister within the noted Interim order. Details can be reviewed here:
In order to understand MAAC's role in this process, one must first understand the "process". A formal Civil Aviation Regulatory Advisory Council (CARAC) committee was established by Transport Canada in 2010. The "Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) Systems Program Design Working Group" was tasked with building the legislative framework for the integration of All Unmanned Aircraft into Canadian Airspace.
Although commercial interests drove the impetus for this working group, the MAAC BOD of that time recognized the potential impact on the recreational hobbyist and took membership in this working group. MAAC is one, amongst many interest groups, that contributed, and continues to participate within this legislative process.
The group's mandate was broken into four phases of work with the first being the most critical to hobbyist; "Under 25kgs - Operated within visual range of the operator". MAAC's primary goal within this working group was not to create rules governing commercial unmanned aircraft, but rather to negate/minimize the impact of any future legislation on recreational hobbyists.
The final report submitted to Transport Canada contained no references to restricting / regulating the recreational hobbyist. That report can be found here:
This "phase 1" report is the foundation upon which Transport Canada has built the pending first round of changes to the Canadian Air Regulations (CARs), the first draft of which is expected this month to be published in "Gazette 1". This set of formal regulations, dealing with unmanned aircraft under 25kgs operated within visual range, will contain permanent changes to the CARs and are MAAC's primary focus for what should be obvious reasons.
As part of the legislative process in preparing changes to the CARs, Transport Canada issued a "Notice of Proposed Amendments" (NPA) back in May of 2015. MAAC's efforts can clearly be seen within the NPA as Transport Canada recognized MAAC along with the need to "carve out" traditional recreational hobbyists. That document can be found here:
MAAC is recognized within the NPA on page 3. Beginning on page 11, you will find the specific section that asks for responses on how to "carve out" traditional model enthusiasts.
MAAC prepared formal responses to this NPA, which is contained within two documents that can be found in their entirety on our website here:
1. https://secure.maac.ca/get_document.php?document_id=123
2. https://secure.maac.ca/get_document.php?document_id=124
The following statement contained at the top of document "2" clearly states MAAC's advocacy for hobbyists both in, and outside the association and remains the standing position of MAAC until such time that the first draft of the permanent legislation is published:
Attachment to MAAC Comments on NPA RDIMS # 10477932
Acknowledgement / Approach Philosophy:
MAAC recognizes the safety concern that a small percentage of irresponsible modellers have created, primarily as the result of the increasing availability of semi-automated, camera carrying models. However, responsibility for safety must remain with the individual, not by attempting to control the technology.
This proposal defines reasonable, and measurable, limitations of responsible conduct for all recreational aero modelers that will stand the test of time.
Further, it provides needed flexibility by leveraging partnerships and expertise found in recognized aero modeling organizations under established safety codes. These partnerships will be key for the Minister in the challenge of public education as the regulations are enacted.
MAAC's proposed approach allows for continued safe model aircraft recreational flight for all responsible hobbyist's, whether members of an aero modeling organization or not. However, it also provides the necessary balance by ensuring there are reasonable measures in place for holding all operators of model aircraft accountable for aviation safety.
The impetus, in part for the "Interim Order" Issued in March of this year by the Government of Canada via Transport Canada (TC), was a response to the negative flying activities of a number of individuals external to the MAAC organization. The Transport Minister recognized MAAC's long-standing safety record and safe operating procedures by providing an exemption for MAAC members.
This order expires at the end of March 2018, when it is expected the final draft of the noted pending legislation will be enacted into law. There is no formal avenue/process to request changes to the Minister's interim order.
After the draft of the permanent legislation is published in "Gazette 1" this month, there will again be another "comment "period solicited by Transport Canada. After the comment period is closed, legal drafters will make changes/additions related to the comments received before publishing in "Gazette 2" and enacting changes into law.
MAAC's intent is to carefully review the published 1st draft of the actual legislation and provide comment at that time if the BOD feels that it is warranted.

George Bush and spending
I can't understand George Bush and his desire to spend money we don't have. He has been running the largest budget deficits we have ever had, yet now says he will spend at least $200 billion more to reconstruct the hurricane ravaged south west, without raising taxes to pay for it. Where does he think this money is going to come from?
We have to pay all this money that we are borrowing back sooner or later. Either that means we as a country spend less money so that we have money left to pay back, or the foreign countries (primarily Japan and China) that have been lending us money will buy more of our properties.
How can people think that Bush is fiscally conservative? He talks about how bad big government is, creates the largest government we have ever had, and gives tax breaks to the rich while borrowing record amounts to pay for all of this. The last time we had large budget deficits was under Reagan (another "fiscally conservative" republican), and at that time the concern was whether Japan was going to buy all of our best properties (there were big complaints when a Japanese real estate developer purchased Rockefeller Center in New York City in 1989). Now the concern will more likely be weather China buys the properties, and we have already seen the start of it with a Chinese company trying to buy Unocal oil company.
The American people need to learn that we can't borrow all this money without somehow paying it off. There is no free money. All this borrowing is giving away our future.
This is actually a problem built in by our government system - one that Bush is just taking advantage of. Because the elected officials are all only in office for a short time, they don't have to worry about long term impacts.
Sorry, just had to rant...

Anyway, after some googling to get inspiration, I ended up printing out a few images I found on the net, and make this card:
A tag behind the image
The back of the tag. The numbers are vintage market-dies from Tim Holtz, embossed with silver embossingpowder.
The inside. Sentiment from Norsk Stempelblad
And the back.
No designpapers!! :o That's my very first time... :)

How was your sleep last night? For many people sleep time is no longer teddy bears and being tucked in. Sleep time challenges can begin to dominate lives. Bad stuff happens to the body without enough sleep, so it's important to find natural ways to help manage sleeplessness.
From Vashon, a new, huggable and relaxing, herbal-based sleep aid may be just the ticket. It's based on tried-and-true wellness wisdom about deep, mindful breathing. This first-of-its-kind relaxation system is currently at Indiegogo, a crowdfunding Web site. Visitors can be the first to own an AromaChill by contributing to the cost of manufacturing their own at www.igg.me/at/AromaChill.
To bring his latest invention to the public, Robert Bornn, a Vashon entrepreneur, psychophysiologist, and sleep specialist, founded LifeSense Technologies, LLC in 2012.
Mr. Bornn reports, "AromaChill makes the sleep time experience a positive one by using a reliable routine for mindful breathing with a choice of terpene-based fragrances and pleasantly cool air."
Laura Worth, co-founder and a co-inventor, says, "When I can't relax, having the comfort of a routine from using AromaChill and a familiar fragrance with a pleasant bit of chill, helps me pay attention to deep breathing."
Mr. Bornn further explained, "When I get too revved up, I use AromaChill to change my state of mind by helping me focus on my breathing for brief periods during the day or at night."
John B. Davis has used AromaChill off-and-on from the earliest prototype to the current final version and he reports, "I like the relaxing fragrance of herbal terpenes and the feeling of the cool air in my nose. I can grab it when I'm having trouble and usually fall asleep in about half the usual time."
Shawn DeNae Eddy reports success using AromaChill to manage her middle-of-the-night insomnia and says that "the routine of falling asleep has been a challenge for decades. I found that AromaChill helps me relax into a rhythmic breathing pattern and the cool, scented air calms my mind and helps me sleep."
Mr. Bornn is a seasoned veteran in the relaxation and sleep fields. His roots go back to the early 1980s when he led sleep research, under Dr. Joe Kamiya in the psychophysiology laboratory at UCSF Medical Center. Mr. Bornn went on from there to invent and develop the first home-based, miniaturized sleep apnea monitor to diagnose people who stop breathing periodically during the night.
Indiegogo is a crowdfunding site where project owners offer "perks" in return for contributions at varying levels. Contributions to the AromaChill project start at $10 for weekly sleep tips via the SleepWise e-newsletter or $15 for the electronica album, Chill!, released for this purpose by
Mr. Bornn, who is also a performing and recording musician. The $79 perk, an earlybird special, includes an AromaChill, the newsletter, and the Chill! album. Contact Mr. Bornn at email@example.com or (206) 463-4284.

My Dad has had a minor stroke. It happened yesterday afternoon in the form of vision loss. We rushed him to the hospital and they moved him to a bed. It took a couple of hours before the CT scan result came back showing a minor stroke. Dad's vision continues to be blurred and they are not sure if it will improve.
My parents have always been healthy and active. Yes, they are getting older and yes, health does change ... it's still not any easier. Respecting their independence yet lending a hand.
I've felt for some time that my life journey is changing direction, my focus is shifting more towards home and family. A year ago my husband and I moved house to be in the same complex as my parents. Now it clearer that my path will circle closer to home.
Live simply, hold close those that you treasure, do the things that bring you bliss, simply live!

Burger Ideas for Thanksgiving
You don't need to roast a whole turkey for Thanksgiving. It's all about being with loved ones...and eating until it hurts. For something burger-themed, try making turkey burgers that don't suck topped with Thanksgiving-themed fixings like the world's easiest cranberry sauce, dead simple turkey gravy, or fried brussels sprouts. Serve it with crispy smashed duck fat-fried potatoes or the best roasted sweet potatoes.
There's also White Castle's famous stuffing recipe made with 10 White Castle hamburgers (sans pickles), celery, thyme, sage, black pepper, and chicken broth. According to their website, next Monday they're offering a $1 off coupon for a 10-piece sack of Sliders for the holiday.
Serious Eats contributor Kerry Saretsky tried making a cheeseburger and fries stuffing one year, after which she learned never to make it again.
Any AHT'ers having a burger-themed Thanksgiving?

Until now, I have avoided discussing politics. But last week, two statements directed at me finally pushed my keyboard buttons:
As an Independent, I believe the old labels are misleading and often incorrect. The truth is that I see great divergence among small business owners. Like most Americans, we are being whipsawed in a polarized political environment. With politicians sound bytes lasting no longer than a police station in Baghdad, how can entrepreneurs make informed, rational decisions about how the election will affect their businesses? Beyond health care (which no politician will help resolve until public rioting starts) I don't see a single political issue that impacts all business owners equally. Here is what I mean:
When it comes right down to it, politicians will say anything to win the votes of America's 24 million small business owners. The reality is that they can do little to meet our collective needs. As a cross section of American society, we are just too diverse and independent — and isnt that the point of being a business owner, anyway? Unlike big companies that buy lobbying influence for issues that affect them and the small business organizations dependent on selling us health insurance to survive, we are on our own. So when someone starts painting you into a political corner for your own good, just say no. Focus on growing your business by growing your best and highest use. Until the day I see Willie Nelson putting on a benefit concert for the family consulting business, I really cant see any political figure looking out for my small business!

The space is symmetrical, with two identical alcoves and uplighters on the walls.
I am fed up with the pictures - I did them years ago and really want a change.
Im glad you are feeling creative, I hope you get time tomorrow to work. I like the fish pictures. They are kind of ugly fish, but I still like them. Lol. And I like your little display, sometimes when I feel like things are getting too girly I play with materials. I'll add some metal with glass, or mirror with something rusty. If you added some stuff leaning on your husbands Beatles picture it could look like all one display, like a tall frame or mirror. Good luck!ReplyDelete
Fiona, this idea with the old lamps in the glass and the little lights lightened up, I find it genious! And I love love love love the Beatles poster! But Fiona, seriously now... this lamp changes colour depending on the camera??? Ladies and gentlemen we just entered the Twilight Zone! LOLReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.ReplyDelete
Fiona, I like the lights...I never thought to use old light bulbs. I have some small lights that I wanted to put on a counter...maybe I should consider mixing with old light bulbs. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
Lol. I love the adjectives :-)
The light bulbs in the vase is lovely. I really like that one. Nice displays.
I'd hate to meet those fish while snorkeling or diving... :-)
Sorry I haven't been around as much this week but things have been hectic. I'll explain in my blog soon. In the meantime, how about those cute fish? Sure the fishes themselves might not be all that attractive but I think that's part of their charm. There's something great about the very graphic nature of them and the colors are so fun. As for the geezer's table, I adore that idea of using old bulbs for a light. How original! :) I'd never have thought to do that but I love them! Fairy lights are just so much fun. Are yours battery run or plugged in. If plugged in, how did you get around the cord coming out of the vase? I like the addition of the mandolin and the little wire sculpture but I think maybe the shell vase could scoot to the other side of the mandolin and snuggle down with those pretty silvery lanterns. There's a lot of height on one side and I think pushing the bigger vase over to create a triplet with the two silver pieces might help balance it all out even more. I fear it's currently vying for attention with your lovely light fixture.ReplyDelete
Hey Fiona, just stopped by to say i have passed on the Blog on Fire award to you! Check it out!
I like these displays...and using the bulb is so creative! I just did a little makeover in my downstairs bath with an ocean theme. I enjoyed my visit, thanks!ReplyDelete
I love the light bulb lights, and you know what I love the mandolin and the Beatles picture. Isn't that what is called an eclectic design? Cute with personality - his and hers!
It's always a pleasure to receive your comments. I really enjoy reading them, and a huge thank you if you are following as well !

- Move forward by pressing "W" key for initial momentum.
- now Unpress/RELEASE the 'w' key press the strafe key (D or A) and move your mouse in the direction of the strafe (ie: if 'A' move mouse left in a little arc or if 'D' move mouse right by say 30 degrees) + JUMP (spacebar)
- This will cause a forward curved jump , in the left or right direction( Now on you must not use W key to move forward).
- When your just about to land after the first jump, hit the opposite strafe key and curve your mouse in the same direction of your strafe and hit jump EXACTLY when you land after the first jump. Doing this a little too early or little too late will cut the bunny hop
- IF You got the timing and mouse movement (synchronised)right you will quickly move forward faster, and you will need to repeat Steps 2 to 4 repeatedly.
- Watch the video below to make thing more clear.
- Download Bunnyhop.cfg and place it inside "cstrike" folder of your conterstrike installtion location.
- run your game , open console window, type "exec hop.cfg"
- use mouse scroll wheel to do bunny hop.
- Create a new file hop.cfg inside HDD:\HLDS\cstrike folder (e.g. D:\cs\cstrike)
HDD ----> drive in which you have installed counterstrike
HLDS ----> name of your installation drictory
cstrike ----> this folder is where your all maps,sounds etc resides.
- Add these lines (shown below) into it
alias -hop "alias _special"
alias +hop "alias _special @hop;@hop"
alias @hop "special;wait;+jump;wait;-jump"
Note:generally mouse3 is the scrollwheel (middle button) of your mouse , alternatively you can also use "mouse4" inplace of "mouse3" if you have more buttons on you mouse , like i have Razer Copperhead.
- open config.cfg in notepad (located in HDD:\HLDS\cstrike folder) and in the end of file add this line (shown below):
- Now start your hl.exe i.e counterstrike game, hop.cfg will be executed at every game start.
- While you play just rotate scrollwheel (middle button) to perform bunny hop , also change your mouse direction at the same time.

Queen's Golden Gaels withstood a late comeback bid by the York Lions to claim a 62-59 Ontario University Athletics men's basketball victory Saturday afternoon in Toronto.
Sukhpreet Singh scored 22 points to lead the Gaels to their seventh win in 10 games, as they strengthened their position in second place in the East division. It was the sixth time this season that Singh has scored 20 points or more in a game.
Neither team was able to extend a lead beyond seven points and in a game that had nine lead changes, the Gaels led 27-26 at halftime and 48-45 going into the fourth quarter. A 7-1 spurt to start the final period gave York a three-point lead. Bayridge Secondary School grad Nathan Culbreath hit a jump shot and a free throw to break a 49-49 tie.
Andrew Mavety tied the game for Queen's with a three-point basket, and Singh scored eight straight points for the Gaels, as they put together an 8-2 run that gave them a 60-54 lead with about a minute and a half to play.
Culbreath, a third-year engineering student, then went to work. He hit a free throw, then two more, and his successful jump shot with 17 seconds left cut the Lions' deficit to a single point, at 60-59. Mark Paclibar then hit a pair of free throws for the Gaels, who escaped with the win when Culbreath's bid for a three-point basket at the buzzer failed.
Ryall Stroud scored 12 points and pulled down a game-best eight rebounds for Queen's, which ended a two-game losing streak to remain two points behind division-leading Ryerson.
Culbreath had 20 points for York, as the Lions slipped to 3-7.
The Gaels now face what will probably be their most difficult weekend of the season. They'll travel to Ottawa Friday for a game with the No. 1-ranked Gee-Gees, and stay there for a Saturday contest with the second-ranked Carleton Ravens.

Yes there can actually be kangaroos jumping down the street in Australia! Just not everywhere though. Kangaroos aren't usually as tame as the ones here either. Where we go for holidays is a small coastal town that is very quiet and over the years the local kangaroos have become very used to people. They used to just come and graze on people's lawns in the evening but now they seem to be comfortable to stay in town during the day as well. When the sun gets too hot you can find them sleeping in the shade in people's backyards. Some, especially the females, will let you pat them a bit as well.
Of course kangaroos can be dangerous, but there are many different species in Australia and in all different places. There are vast differences between a big aggressive Red Kangaroo in the outback and a smaller tame Grey kangaroo in a coastal town.
Because we have such limited internet in Australia, we are just going to make very short videos like this while here.

City Lights Student Ministry
Our student's our challenged to not only know what they believe, but to actually live out their faith, which can be really challenging in jr. high and high school. Your students will partake in bible studies, interactive learning activities, games, and different events throughout the year. We also have discipleship available as well.
Sunday Mornings
We feel like it's important for your students to attend the main worship service at 9:00 am. All of our students sit together, worship together, and move together after first service to their own service for students only at 10:30 on the 3rd floor of the gym building, where there is teaching specifically geared towards students, break-out groups, and bible studies.
Wednesday Evenings
Our student ministry also meets every Wednesday evening at 6:45 pm to learn about how to live out their faith, and then once a month they go serve somewhere in the local community. This is a great place for your students to grow in their faith and think outside themselves about how to reach their friends with the Gospel.

The Biggest Stories in American Politics This Week
From Paul Manafort's trial to multiple presidential rallies, it's been a busy week. Here's what you might've missed (and some links if you want to read further).
President Trump called for the end of the special counsel's investigation, even as top officials warned of Russian interference.
President Trump urged Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Wednesday to end the special counsel's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, raising more questions about whether Mr. Trump has tried to obstruct the investigation.
The White House and the president's lawyers sought to minimize any damage by arguing that the call, issued on Twitter, was an angry opinion, not an order. Mr. Trump has also sought an interview with the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, and his office, in an attempt to clear himself of any wrongdoing.
Yet even as Mr. Trump characterizes the investigation as a "Russian hoax," top administration officials came forward on Thursday to assert that Russian election interference was a serious threat and to vow to prevent it.
Additional Reading
The financial fraud trial of Paul Manafort began this week.
Prosecutors began their case this week against Paul Manafort, Mr. Trump's former campaign chairman, in federal court in Alexandria, Va. They say that Mr. Manafort hid tens of millions of dollars he received for his work in Ukraine and then engaged in bank fraud when he no longer earned that income.
Mr. Manafort's defense team made clear in their opening arguments that they intended to shift the blame to Rick Gates, Mr. Manafort's former business partner and likely the government's star witness.
Federal prosecutors spent the first few days emphasizing Mr. Manafort's lavish spending and the reversal of his fortune after 2014. Mr. Manafort's accountant also testified that she had agreed to alter tax and bank documents to help Mr. Manafort out of his financial problems.
Additional Reading
In midterm elections: more primary victories and an influence campaign on Facebook.
Facebook announced on Tuesday that it had identified an active political influence campaign, potentially intended to disrupt the midterm elections in November.
The company said it had removed a number of false accounts and pages that were involved in activity around divisive issues.
But as midterm primaries continued this week, Mr. Trump's stamp is clear in some aspects of the midterm elections: shaping a governor's race in Florida and potentially providing an opportunity for Democrats in Kansas.
Additional Reading
The administration escalated the trade war with China and contemplated more tariffs and other economic measures.
President Trump intensified the trade war with China on Wednesday, ordering his administration to consider more than doubling proposed tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods. (China threatened retaliation on Friday.)
The United States and Mexico are moving closer to agreement on how to rewrite important parts of the North American Free Trade Agreement. Talks this week, however, have excluded the pact's third member, Canada
Mr. Trump also reiterated his threat to Congress on Monday to shut down the government this year if he did not receive sufficient funding for a wall at the southern border. His administration is also considering bypassing lawmakers and granting a $100 billion tax cut primarily to the wealthy.
Additional Reading
The tension between the White House and the press corps increased.
Mr. Trump publicly clashed with the publisher of The New York Times, A. G. Sulzberger, on Sunday over the president's threats to journalism and what Mr. Sulzberger said was a misrepresentation of a private meeting between them.
While the president has always had a combative relationship with his perceived detractors — especially unfavorable news reports — it escalated this week in rallies in Florida and Pennsylvania, centering many of his attacks on the press corps.
Ivanka Trump, the president's daughter and senior adviser, appeared to disagree with that position on Thursday — a notable contrast with the assertions made by Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the press secretary, during a briefing.

Note: Green Course
'Control 6 on Green (193) was moved about 40m downhill from the correct site by a member of the public, and a number of early runners were affected. Some runners were unable to find the control, while others lost time. About halfway through the event, the control was returned to the correct location. The Controller decided that it would be fairest if the split times for 5-6 and 6-7 were removed. The timed course-length is now 3.2k.

Also: which gauge wire would you guys recommend? Would a 10 or 20 watt panel be enough?
Help with a school project on solar power Answered
Hi. I have a science fair coming up in May and I want to do my project on solar power but I really don't know too much about electricity. This is my plan, please correct me where I'm wrong and tell me if there's a better way to do certain things:
I am going to buy a 10w 12v solar panel (I might be able to get a 40w for a bargain) which will charge a battery. Would it be better to get a 12v lead acid battery or a 12v lithium battery? Lithium batteries have DC jacks instead of normal terminals on lead acid batteries so how would I connect the battery in parallel to the 2 devices I want to power? A splitter like this would work but it connects it in series? Although I suppose it doesn't matter because I just need to show that it works at the expo but I'd like to use it now and then. The battery will connect to a 12v LED light and a 12v to 5v USB charger.
What about diodes? Do I need them? How will I make sure that the device charging doesn't get fried?
Thanks a lot, I appreciate it.
EDIT: A charge controller isn't necessary, is it? I'd also like to add in a switch to cut off power to the USB ports, power to the light and power to the battery from the solar panel. This would cause a problem if everything was connected in series.
To charge a lithium battery you will need a special charge controller. The panel itself can be directly connected to an SLA battery but it's still best to use a charge controller with it as well.
Most panels have built in diodes. Make sure it does. If not then you will need to have one between the battery and the panel. Otherwise the power from the battery will fry the panel.
As long as the devices connected to the battery can handle the 12V from the battery you won't fry anything.
Nothing in your setup should be connected in series. Everything should be connected in parallel. Otherwise the devices you connect to the battery will not get full 12V they need. If you connect 2 devices in series with a power source they get about half the voltage. For example to 6V lights can be connected in series and put on a 12V source and won't blow. If you have 2 12V lights in series on a 12V source they will be about half as bright as they should be. You put those 12V lights in parallel on the 12V source and they will shine with full brightness. They just end up drawing more current.
Hi, thanks for the help. I see a lot of solar charge controllers that don't say what types of batteries they support. If I can't find a lithium solar charger would it be possible to find a lithium battery charger with DC input and connect the panel to it?
That's because solar power systems all run on SLA batteries. Most solar power systems are made to run into an inverter so you can have mains power. This is a huge current draw on the batteries which Lithium can't support for long periods of time. You should be able to find a lithium charge controller easy enough. Just be sure it uses a 11V - 15V input otherwise the panel may be too much for it.
The cheapest charge controller I can find is £65.93 which is about 3 times the price of my 6800mAh battery. Is this right or am I just not looking in the right places. I would have liked to use Lithium because of the space I'd save but it doesn't seem like I'd be able to if the charge controller costs 3 times the price of the battery.

I've recently ventured into selling some of my illustration prints. It only seemed natural to do so since I have so many designs and people that appreciate my work enough to want to hang it on their walls. How it works is if you go to my site, take a gander at the images in my portfolio. If you see something you like, email me and let me know the size of the image and if you want the image matted or matted and framed. Prices start at $25 for 9x12, unmatted and unframed. Also if you want a custom image, email me for details! As you can tell, I love illustrating and designing, please don't hesitate to ask!

On November 16th, in Qingyang, Gansu (甘肃庆阳), a minivan with a rated capacity of 9 people but carrying 63 daycare children collided with a truck, killing 19 children and 2 adults. We offer a group of photos culled from Weibo to illustrate the incident. We also continue to follow the two cases, Chen Guangcheng's and Ai Weiwei's, that lay bare China's "rule of law", while offer other items for your thoughts. Click on an item for a link to the original.
- Read about the tragic accident, and about China, in 5 pictures:
Sadness and outcries poured in on Weibo, while CCTV's Evening News made no mention of it. The photo below on the left shows candles lit by residents in Dongfanghong Square (东方红广场) in Lanzhou (兰州), the provincial capital city, and on the right is a shot of the front pages of four papers in the same city the following day.
- 王克勤/Wang Ke Qin/(Investigative journalist known for his exposure of tainted baby milk powder, mishandled vaccines, land seizures, dangerous mines, the spread of HIV through blood transfusions , etc.)/: Guangcheng is a blind man, an ordinary Chinese farmer, and he travelled, struggled and persevered, enduring so many ordeals for the rights of other people. He has done so much more than any of us. Because of this, Guangcheng is one of the people in the land of China whom I admired the most. Guangcheng, to a large extent, I believe is a messenger from God. He is my inspiration and model for life, someone I want to emulate continuously. (video link)
- 邝飚的灰色幽默/Kuang Biao's gray humor/(cartoonist for Nanfang Daily) : For Guangcheng's birthday, I have been wanting to do something for him. Having racked my brain for days, I thought, well, I would draw a portrait of him. "Guangcheng's Portrait" is completed today, a belated present for him. Brother Guangcheng, are you still alive? This cartoon is also dedicated to all the courageous men and women who have braved Dong Shi Gu. History will not forget that you are irrigating this miraculous land with your blood …
(Note: Having accidentally cut the link to this item, I went back to Weibo to look for it only to find it was no longer there.)
- yizhuducao一株毒草 / A poisonous weed/yi zhu du cao/(netizen)/: Ai Weiwei: I am doing so [referring to his legal challege against the "taxes" and "fines" levied on him by the government] to let the entire society and the government know that no one can use law as a means of retaliation to destroy a man who thinks differently. They can't use their dirty tricks to suppress a free-expressing artist. If a nation uses fake law to shut people up, it has no future. Both aesthetically and morally, you [referring to "they"] have already lost. You may win a battle because you have power, but you will lose the war.
- 于建嵘/Yu Jianrong/(Professor at the Rural Development Institute, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences)/I just gave a lecture [to a group of officials] in Tsinghua University. An official from Jiangsu told me that everyone understands that China's current problems must be solved by establishing fairness and justice, democracy, and the rule of law. The problem is, leadership on all levels wouldn't dare. When asked why, he said, "Interests. Political and economic interests. No one in power now really wants to sacrifice their own interests for the future of the country and the people, because, absent of democracy, they can enjoy a monopoly on power; absent of the rule of law, they can pillage by violence.

Sometimes I find this amusing: With the intelligence and the mind of today's Chinese, are we incapable of passing through an intersection that has definitive traffic lights in an orderly manner?

- @wanghaoxuan王昊轩/Wang Haoxuan/(netizen) : The CCTV hostess Zhang Quanling made a Weibo post this morning: "We have a foreign correspondent here named Xu Shengyi. Last year, as soon as she was assigned to Pakistan, Bin Laden was killed. Recently she was sent to Libya where many of our reporters had toured before her. The minute she got there, Gaddafi was dead. So we are all wondering now: Where is she going to be sent next? Syria or Iran?" Thousands of comments have since poured in, asking almost unanimously, "Can she be posted back in China?"

State News Roundup
The California Department of Education has been harming language-minority children with its "single minded'' emphasis on native-language instruction, a new report by a bipartisan state watchdog agency argues.
The 13-member Little Hoover Commission, which was established by statute and consists of legislative and gubernatorial appointees, last month called the department's approach to educating limited-English-proficient students "divisive, wasteful, and unproductive.''
The report charges that the department "has perpetuated the myth'' that the language and academic needs of L.E.P. students could be met if all schools adopted the same native-language approach. In addition, it states, the department is far more concerned with enforcing compliance with this approach than with holding schools accountable for the academic success of L.E.P. students.
Such students "have been cast adrift'' while the department has devoted its energy to forcing schools to recruit hard-to-find bilingual teachers, the report says. As a result, many students do not receive needed services, too few students learn English, and Hispanic students are disproportionately likely to drop out of school and unlikely to attend college.
Norman Gold, a consultant in charge of bilingual-program compliance for the state, denied the allegations and accused the panel itself of being divisive and of wasting taxpayers' dollars.
The report recommends that the state give localities more leeway in selecting methods for teaching L.E.P. students, revise funding mechanisms to reward schools for helping students attain English proficiency, and better document the use of state funds for L.E.P. students.
The state of Maryland has sued to prevent a former high school teacher from financially gaining by selling the story of his admitted sexual involvement with several students.
State Attorney General J. Joseph Curran Jr. filed the suit last month after reading press accounts suggesting that Ronald W. Price had signed a contract to sell his "life story'' for a movie. Mr. Curran invoked for the first time a state law barring individuals from profiting from notoriety stemming from their crimes.
The former teacher at Northeast High School in Pasadena has been charged with child sexual abuse and perverted sex practices with three female students. Mr. Price has acknowledged not only those acts, but four other intimate relationships with students.
Mr. Price has stated that he suffered from a mental illness during the time he was involved with students.
He has also appeared on several television talk shows to discuss his case.
"If Ron Price thinks he can tell the world that he slept with his own students and then cash in on it, I want him to know that he can't,'' Mr. Curran said.
Mr. Price's lawyers said the state law is unconstitutional and
defended their client's right to sell his life story.

The rise of (societal) resilience tech
If you follow millennials on Twitter (and god help you), then you know that Anne Helen Petersen's piece this past weekend "How Millennials Became The Burnout Generation" struck a deep chord for many. It's longform and detailed, but Petersen's primary thesis is that my generation has been dumped into one of the worst moments for economic and social mobility in recent memory (global financial crisis, etc.), which has led us to massively over-optimize our lives to try to extract any value we can. Baby boomers could work […]Read more

The Maccabee Task Force was created in 2015 to combat the disturbing spread of anti-Semitism on America's college campuses. We believe the BDS movement is at the forefront of this troubling trend. We maintain that BDS is an anti-Semitic movement that crosses the line from legitimate criticism of Israel into the dangerous demonization of Israel and its supporters. We are determined to help students combat this hate by bringing them the strategies and resources they need to tell the truth about Israel. These attacks on Israel and its supporters won't be going away any time soon. Neither will we.
