It is a bit funny to me, once I realized what has happened.
When I was in school (seminary) I had the opportunity to interact with all these great ideas about the faith, how to live it out, how God tells us to live through the Bible, and all that. Well, the way I used to 'metabolize' those things was to write them out in the blog. Writing the blog helped me to grapple with the issues and engage with the ideas a bit more.
But a funny thing happened on the way to the pastorate. Now that I'm in a full-time pastoral role, I don't have the need to express all those ideas or write a blog to help me metabolize them. Nope, I'm getting lots of opportunities to put those ideas into practice right here on the job.
Then there's just the raw time element. I haven't yet structured my work week and days to carve out time to do blogging.
And, more significantly, there is the confidentiality thing. Some of what I could blog about are things that are happening in the church itself. But that presents some problems. Because even if I start telling stories that happened to me in lay ministry twenty years ago, somebody just might think I was writing about them here and now. I'm still trying to sort out how to make lessons I've learned public without unduly embarrassing somebody who was involved in my learning that lesson. As far as embarrassing myself, I've done that plenty of times before so that's not a big issue. :-)
So for those few folks who follow my blog, please be patient with me as I figure out how to do this in the context of vocational ministry.

We had a fabulous Easter this year. We decided we would stay home and enjoy the spring weather right here in Edmonton. If you remember, last year we packed our bags and headed to the mountains for Easter weekend. It was so nice and cozy staying home on a holiday.
The Easter Bunny visited Cora this year. She really doesn't have a clue yet, but she really enjoyed her new toys. The Easter Bunny brought her a gossamer silk "Garden Rose" play canopy and a duck on stick. She really loves both of these. We have set up her table and chairs under the canopy. They are a perfect fit. I see many tea parties under the canopy in her future. The duck cracks us up. It took her no time to figure out how it works (in fact, she actually figured it out at the store...shhhh). She pushes it around saying quack quack. I can't even express in words just how cute this little girl is. Every step she takes melts me.
Here is Cora's play canopy. As you can see, Lee can fully stand inside of it. The silk is 7ft long. I am going to get bean bags to hold it in place on the floor. Hopefully that will reduce the amount of times Cora gets tangled up in it.
Reggie behaving like he is being forced to be in the same room as us. Yeah right.
Cora pushing her duck on a stick around her room. Lee and I both had these when we were younger. We first saw them at a store when I was pregnant. We vowed we'd be back in a couple years to buy one. When Lee and I were deciding what two presents we were going to get Cora (we each got to pick one), Lee asked me to go get one of these ducks. There was only one left and it was the floor model. I snagged it up. This duck has been used and abused. It is chipped, scuffed, and scratched. I love it though. It looks like it has been used by loving kids for the last 50 years. Plus, I got a discount. Score.
We dyed Easter eggs on Sunday. Cora had a great time. She intently watched Lee dip and dunk each egg. She helped quite a bit, too. There is a picture of dyed finger tips from pulling eggs out. I of course have some video as well. We (read: Lee) had fun getting her all hopped up on sugar. He introduced her to pop rocks (the candy that jumps around in your mouth), homemade M&M cookies which led to lots of M&M's being eaten during the baking process. Cora has helped make all kinds of homemade goodies the last couple of weeks. She officially knows what a beater is and demands to help lick it off. She is my daughter!!!
I had to get a picture of her hand. You can see the layers of colors on her fingers.
After her eggs were dry, she would carry one over to me, act like she was going to give it to me, and then take it back and run off squealing in delight. Also you'll notice I am still sewing her Easter basket on the day of Easter. BAD MOM! To this day, it still doesn't have handles. I suck. But I really love how it looks so far. Oh yeah, and notice Reggie is sleeping again. He is completely unaware of the crazy 1 year old hopped up on chocolate and sugar.
So innocent. Or so she wants you to believe.
Cora is planting the coneflowers she got from Grandma and Grandpa B. She got all kinds of cool gardening tools from them. Hopefully Cora's mom, who has a brown thumb, can actually get these flowers to grow. Keep your fingers crossed. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa B!!

One thousand phone and internet customers in the greater Wauchope area have been without service since Monday or Tuesday, after contractors working on Beechwood Road cut two fibre optic cables. Telstra staff are working to repair the damage and hope it will be fixed tomorrow (Friday December 8) but can't guarantee it will be that soon.
Port Macquarie-Hastings Council contracted Stabilised Pavements of Australia to do major roadworks on Beechwood Road-Oxley Highway to Cowdery Street, and they started new work there last Friday (December 1).
But on Tuesday, the contractors cut through two fibre optic cables and 1,000 customers in the greater Wauchope area found themselves without phonelines and/or access to the internet.
The council say they notified Telstra who are trying to rectify the situation today – Thursday December 7.
It has affected a number of small businesses which people run from their homes and have been unable to operate properly.
Areas affected include Lake Innes, Rosewood, Fernbank Creek, Sancrox, Mortons Creek Brombin, Yippin Creek, Telegraph Point, Comboyne, Frazers Creek and parts of Wauchope including Riverbreeze, Glenview estate and Cameron Street.
Many customers who rely on their landlines and internet have spent hours phoning Telstra trying to get answers about when service will be resumed. Some have medical problems and need to be able to stay in contact with doctors or carers, if they become ill. Others have lost business due to the outage.
Hamish Keddie and his wife live and Sancrox and are with the NBN and Telstra.
"It went off on Tuesday afternoon. My wife came home after work. She rang up Telstra. They said they would send a technician out to look at our NBN router on Friday. We said that sounds serious. They said no, it's fine, just routine," said Hamish.
"They blamed our area. We asked a few neighbours and they had no NBN/Telstra either. A business in Wauchope told us the same thing. We still don't have it. My wife works at night from home. She hasn't been able to do anything.
"It's incredibly frustrating that they haven't informed customers what's happening. We've queried. We've rung up. Nothing. It's bizarre. Some people rely on it," said Mr Keddie.
IT consultant Peter Saville has been trying to help customers all around our area and is also frustrated by the lack of information.
"I'm at the point of going to David Gillespie, the Lyne MP and complaining about it," he said.
Telstra sent a technician to the scene today (Thursday December 7) to begin repairs which they hope to have completed tomorrow, Friday.
"We are aware of an issue impacting some landline and ADSL services in the Wauchope area after a cable was cut by a third party," said Telstra area general manager, Mike Marom.
"We apologise to our customers for the inconvenience and are hoping to have repairs completed as soon as possible."

The Unexpected Salami: A Novel
Algonquin Books, 1999 - Fiction - 296 pages
An aging band on the verge, the Tall Poppies were still looking for their big break in the crapshoot known as the music business. So when their drummer was gunned down right in the middle of the video - and the murder caught on camera - they weren't too unhappy about seeing themselves on TV screens all around the world. Our heroine, Rachel Ganelli, self-confessed band moll (and witness to the shooting), had headed for Australia to escape a pending marriage, a mundane job, and her endlessly meddling parents. But finding herself on the perimeter of the murder, she heeds her mother's advice, just this once, and returns to New York, where life is more predictable. Or so she expects. Before she even has time to take a deep breath of city air, Rachel's sense of what really happened back in Australia spins wildly out of control - and Rachel's life right along with it.

Peace in Europe could be at risk if Britain votes to leave the European Union, David Cameron has warned.
The United Kingdom has regretted "turning its back" on Europe in the past, the prime minister said, arguing the EU had "helped reconcile" countries and maintain peace.
Was leaving the union a "risk worth taking," Mr. Cameron asked.
But ex-London mayor Boris Johnson hit back, saying the EU's "anti-democratic tendencies" was "a force for instability and alienation."
The Vote Leave campaign said: "During the renegotiation the PM said he 'ruled nothing out'. Now he thinks leaving the EU would lead to war. What changed?"
Despite his security warning, Mr. Cameron defended his decision to call the referendum, telling the BBC: "You shouldn't try to hold an independent sovereign nation in an organisation against its will."
There are just over six weeks to go until the 23 June referendum which will decide whether Britain remains in or leaves the EU.
The PM's comments – and a rival speech from Mr. Johnson – came as the referendum campaign intensifies, following last week's elections.
Mr. Cameron, who was introduced by former Labour foreign secretary, David Miliband, argued the EU – with Britain in it – had helped bring together countries that had been "at each others' throats for decades."
He warned the peace and stability Europe has enjoyed in recent years could not be guaranteed, saying leaving risked "the clock being turned back to an age of competing nationalism in Europe."

Folk Art as Modern Art
Marsden Hartley, Georgia O'Keeffe, Charles Sheeler and other early-twentieth-century American artists drew on what they took to be the simplicity of nineteenth-century American folk art to establish a distinctive grammar of modernism. In this talk, Marci Kwon, assistant professor of art history at Stanford University, will explore ways in which American modernists used imagery and styles of representation borrowed from the folk tradition to address urbanization, the changing status of labor, the transformation of gender norms, and other pressing social and cultural concerns.
Sponsored by the Ida and Conrad H. Smith Fund, established by the Raymond C. Smith Foundation Fund of the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan and the Associates of the American Wing.

In my second Houston post I thought I'd share some of the quilts from the different exhibits. There were a lot of exhibits, but I'll just be sharing my favorites. Probably the most spectacular exhibit was the quilts made in honor of the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta. Those of you who are TQS veterans probably know Lorchen. A friend of hers was one of the artists who worked on these quilts. My friend Sharon and I were lucky enough to meet Lorchen and her friend last spring when they visited the US. Here is the full exhibit from the left:
And from the right:
And a couple of the individual quilts:
The Log Cabin - Today! exhibit featured Log Cabin quilts made by Brigitte Morgenroth. It was full of spectacular Log Cabin quilts in a variety of settings using a variety of fabrics, including a lot of silks. I loved it! Here are a few of her quilts:

|Gebrochene Linien - Broken Lines by Brigitte Morgenroth
|Goldener Oktober by Brigitte Morgenroth
|Metall - Metal by Brigitte Morgenroth

This five-day training is centered on the "HOW" of unraveling the "SURVIVAL KNOT" of couples. Therapists will leave the training with an expanded grasp of the theoretical, clinical, and philosophical implications of welcoming couples into their deepest intimacies.
Many couples arrive to me after many sessions of Couples Therapy, which has not touched the core of their conflict and disconnection. Couples Therapists are not trained in how to do this.
Out of my own experience of many years as a Couples Therapist and my evolution of Encounter-centered Couples Therapy (EcCT), came an original method for dealing with the core issue of couples. I call the method "UNRAVELING THE SURVIVAL KNOT."
As part of this highly experiential training, Hedy will be working in-vivo with a couple, in a fish bowl setting. She will be guiding the couple step by step in opening up the energy caught in their impasse issue, where their deepest need meets the partners' most powerful defense. Throughout the training, attendees will be exposed to Hedy's unique inspiring teaching style. It will create an opportunity to learn about the method of helping couples in the place where they need most help, their core issue, their "SURVIVAL KNOT." Therapists will leave the training with an expanded grasp of the theoretical, clinical, and philosophical implications of welcoming couples into their deepest intimacies.
This training will be presented in Hebrew, and is open to all therapists who have previously attended a 2-day or 3-day EcCT training.
More information, questions, and registration in Israel:
Israeli Association for Marriage and Family
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Phone: (09) 7467064
This 3-day training in Encounter-centered Couples Therapy will introduce you to, and deepen your understanding of, the use of EcCT in your work with couples. You will learn:
- rituals that can help couples learn and internalize the vocabulary of the "other" and thus become "bilingual."
- the complex distinction between the adaptive "survival dance" and the "dance of life in connection."
- a unique structure that Hedy has developed for jump-starting a couple's relationship in two full days, thus eliminating months and sometimes years of therapy.
You will leave the training with new tools, increased expertise, enhanced skills, and a clear vision of how to achieve an even more relaxed and responsive therapeutic stance with your couples.
Tuition is $415 for therapists, $375 for Imago Africa members, & $210 for non-therapist spouse/partners.
$150 deposit needed to register. Balance will automatically be charged two weeks before the event. Monthly installments are available.
Location: Protea Hotel Durbanville

Turn your eyes, you non-parents who have never potty-trained. You have been warned.
Both our girls are potty-training. Jerah, the youngest, is cruising right along. Eden was a little more reluctant. We had tried various motivational methods for Eden. Giving her stickers when she pottied. Giving her books to read as a reward.
Finally, I had an idea.
"Let's give her money when she potties" I tell my wife.
So, every time Eden went to the potty, she got 5 pennies. Not much money, but 5 pennies to her is a whole lot more than 1 quarter. Well, she went for the first time, got pennies.
Then she went again, got 5 more. Then again. And again.
Saturday and Sunday, she had only two accidents. Other than that, she has pottied everytime. And gotten 5 pennies everytime. Her piggy bank is getting full and we are out of pennies in our house.
Ahhh…behold the power of money.

Averroes, arabian philosopher, astronomer and writter on jurisprudence; born at Cordova 1126; died at Morocco, 1198.
Averroes may be the father of the advertising. Why the copy-writers who publish about the "nobility" of the profession, they obvious to him? They -the copy-writers- based their theories of the origin of the advertising in the Greek Rhetorics, and in eariler authors as Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and another -neocon(?)- models -that obvied Claussevitz for example- to build yuour concept of their art or science. But Averroes is not included, perhaps that he was Arab or Muslim?
Averroes -pursuived for the own Muslims- battled for a Society-Religion law integration. He was a Classic Greek good translator as well. He argued that the philosopher is not above the society, is part of it. The "oratory" is the vehicle to communicate with Good -in the religious context of the society of those days,- and the "rhetoric" is the vehicle to reach the masses.
This demystifies the profession … and puts it in its current context. Another issue is the copy-writer's, art director and academic efforts to define the advertising as a science or art based in the greek "Classics". We should not forget that much of his knowledge-and a lot much- was acquired through the efforts of many Jews and Arabs translators over time.

Sunflowers and Hydrangeas, oil on canvas 20 x 24
There is something I find magical about a combination of blues and yellows. I never get tired of seeing this color combination nor do I get tired of working in these colors. In this setting I enjoyed adding in the elements of the white hydrangeas as well as the blue and white porcelain pieces. I think the brass added a nice touch and the variation of the reflective surface added some interest to the overall composition.

Learning and teaching
The module is delivered over a 30 week period and consists of 1.5 hour lectures and 1.5 hour seminars each week. Exceptions to this are the designated employability week and teaching weeks: 13 and 28 (where week 1 is the first teaching week of the academic year) which are used for research and preparation for examinations.
The module is delivered via lectures and seminars. Supporting material will be made available via Weblearn, which facilitates a blended learning approach to include wider reading and other materials to support the syllabus. The seminars serve to anchor knowledge imparted in the lectures and provides a forum for:
- A better understanding of lectures through small group discussions, case study/ journal article/problem solving analysis and interchange of questions and answers.
- Assist students in relating their knowledge to the fashion retailing discipline and profession
- Applied understanding of technical skills required for carrying out research in order to assist in employability skills for future careers in fashion retailing. Students will need to consider this aspect of the module as part of their personal development and be able to produce examples in a portfolio of the research skills for a future employer.
In addition, the seminars incorporate summative and formative feedback in order for students to have an opportunity to reflect upon and evaluate their performance.
Activity Week – usually Week 7 (where week 1 is the first teaching week of the academic year)
Activity week 7 is used to stimulate ideas and activities for students from different subject groups taking this module to enhance PDP. Activities allow students to further develop their team skills, creativity, critical thinking and problem solving.

19th March 2009
Kezia Obama is a self confessed bingo fan. As a regular player at her local Gala hall, Kezia became a celebrity overnight when her son in law Barack Obama won the US Presidential election late last year.
Obama who was the first African American President in the U.S won by a huge majority and was sworn in earlier this year. Meanwhile his stepmother Kezia, who lives in the UK, was busy raising money for charity with popular gaming brand, Gala Bingo.
Kezia held her own online game during the inauguration which raised £10,000 for the Sue Ryder charity. Gala Bingo therefore decided to match however much Kezia's game raised, bringing the total to an impressive £20,000.
She said in a statement, "It is great that I have been able to use my good fortune to help Sue Ryder Care, thanks to galabingo.com."
Bridget Auger spokeswoman for the charity, said: "We're thrilled that galabingo.com's recent initiative raised such a fantastic amount of money for Sue Ryder Care.
"On behalf of the charity I'd like to extend a sincere thanks to everybody who got involved and to galabingo.com for its ongoing support."
Gala Bingo hold numerous Charity games throughout the year, and Foxy Bingo also helped raise an massive £150,000 for Comic Relief last week.

Geese take flight from south lake, 1/31/12 -- Kevin Kane
As we say goodbye to January, two waterfowl species were added today to this year's list: a drake Northern Pintail and 2 Ring-necked Ducks. The drake American Black Duck was observed almost everyday from the 11th, including today. However, the female American Wigeon presence was more sporadic. She was last seen on the 30th. The drake Ruddy Duck found on the 24th lay dead on the ice the following day. The initial 6 Trumpeter Swans on the 30th consisted of 2 adults and 4 immatures. I had 2 adult Cooper's Hawk visit my backyard on the 28th. One had been present for 30 minutes when the second landed on my deck railing. Then both flew off together. I wondered if they were the breeding pair from Brookside Park.
Who would have thought that I'd be riding around the lakes in shorts in January!

Passing Moments
My kids are growing older by the minute... just like me, I guess. Sometimes they amaze me with their humor and intelligence. Where did they get that?
Being away from them for 5days only served as a reminder of how precious every moment together really is. Certainly, this must be how our parents feel in the US with us so far away. Precious moments, precious memories.
We look forward to making a few more memories with family and friends as we visit the US this spring.

Well, it's almost August, which means the NFL preseason is upon us. Now, I don't really watch much preseason football, but I'm still excited, because preseason means the regular season is almost upon us. It also means it's time to start prepping for the fantasy season as well.
Now, I'm a huge football fan. Don't bother calling me on Sundays starting in September, because I'm not answering the phone between 12pm to 10pm. Don't bother coming over to my house, unless you're bringing 1) a six pack of beer, or 2) a pizza. I love watching the game as a fan of the sport. I also love the game, because I love playing fantasy football. It's something I've been doing since I started helping my father as league commissioner when I was 12-13 or so. There are a lot of people out there who might tell you that fantasy sports ruins the game, because people are more interested in the individual stats of players versus who actually wins a game.
I'd say they're wrong - at most, you probably only have 1-2 teams you feel strongly about. So, outside of those two teams, you have no particular stake in most of the games being played on a given Sunday. Fantasy football changes that, and for the better - having a vested interest in a player makes you involved in matches you might otherwise find boring (i.e. Ravens vs. Dolphins, last year). Fantasy football teaches you about the game and gives you a better feel for the sport - it makes you an expert on different offenses and defenses, and makes performance stats suddenly really interesting.
Anyway, pretty soon I'll be posting some opinion pieces on how I think the regular season is shaping up, as well as posting advice/commentary on fantasy football. I've already signed up for my first league - couldn't resist a league where all the teams are names after Battlestar Galactica characters (fyi - my team is named the Caprica Sixers).
If you're interested in playing fantasy football with me, shoot me an email at mad_typist [at] hotmail [dot] com and we'll coordinate setting up a private league on one of the major sites (ESPN, Sporting News, etc). Newbies are welcome - I'd be happy to introduce you to the fantasy habit.
Here are the types of articles I'll be working on through the month of August. Let me know if any particular one strikes your fancy, so I can do that one first:
- Welcome to Fantasy Football - a primer for beginners
- Strategies for drafting your fantasy team
- Sleeper picks (a.k.a. players you can steal in the late rounds)
- Why the two-back/running back by committee offenses are completely changing the fantasy game
- Reasons for doing a live in-person draft
- Sleeper teams to watch
- Players I'm planning to avoid

I hate that crushy feeling, like there are so many things I need to do, but nothing I really can act on in this instant. It's partly the press to get things in motion (pick up for the old TV, garbage out for spring cleanup, ready the Durango to part with her, finding space for a ton of other stuff that needs to come back from my Mom's, getting time w/ Davey T to discuss other matters) and then the addition of news meaning I'll have to turn the apartment over again soon that has me feeling this way.
As I dwell on stuff I also then start to think about the other stuff that has lingered on the to do list like contacting someone about the drippy chimney and make some progress on the website design I got roped into (I don't care how many times people try to say I volunteered, the fact is they're missing a word - "was" - I WAS volunteered). Yes, yes, that gets me feeling twitchy and anxious which then makes me just want to go lay down and sleep or eat... yeah, eat! Neither one is a very good idea as that then reminds me how far off the wagon I am after not having lost weight at all in the past few months.

MOSCOW, March 18. /ITAR-TASS/. Russia will possibly place part of the country's state defence order at ship-repairing and ship-building yards of Crimea.
"I mean the ship-repairing and ship-building yards in Feodosiya, Kerch, Sevastopol. We have analysed their potential to realise what could be done so that they could in full measure, effectively and timely fulfil the state defence order, if we make a decision to place part of the order there," Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin told Itar-Tass.

Classical test theory is concerned with the reliability of a test and assumes that the items
within the test are sampled at random from a domain of relevant items. Reliability is seen
as a characteristic of the test and of the variance of the trait it measures. Items are treated
as random replicates of each other and their characteristics, if examined at all, are expressed
as correlations with total test score or as factor loadings on the putative latent variable(s) of
interest. Characteristics of their properties are not analyzed in detail. This led Mellenbergh
(1996) to the distinction between theories of tests (Lord and Novick, 1968) and a theories
of items (Lord, 1952; Rasch, 1960). The so-called "New Psychometrics" (Embretson and
Hershberger, 1999; Embretson and Reise, 2000; Van der Linden and Hambleton, 1997) is a
theory of how people respond to items and is known as Item Response Theory or IRT. Over
the past twenty years there has been explosive growth in programs that can do IRT, and
within R there are at least four very powerful packages: eRm (Mair and Hatzinger, 2007),
ltm Rizopoulos(2006), lme4 (Doran et al., 2007) and MiscPsycho, (Doran, 2010). Additional
packages include mokken (van der Ark, 2010) to do non-metric IRT and plink (Weeks, 2010)
to link multiple groups together. More IRT packages are being added all of the time.
Topics covered:
Chapter 8 - The "New Psychometrics" – Item ResponseTheory
Chapter 9 - Validity
Chapter 10 - Reliability + Validity = Structural Equation Models

Or, use more than one sheet of paper and connect the figures with tape. Once the patterns have been traced, carefully cut out each part of the doll's outfit.

Color your doll and clothes Now your hard work is done and you can delight in choosing colors for your doll's wardrobe. Don't skip this step, because it would be a lot harder to add color after they are cut out. I used color pencils, but any medium works. Doll out your paper doll Cut out your doll and clothes when you are finished coloring them.
I find that for cutting very detailed pieces, how do you make paper dolls helps to cut all around it but not too closely on the first pass.
When you cut the clothing out, make sure to include tabs at the edges of the clothing which will permit you to attach the clothes to the paper doll. Right click your mouse and "copy". Choose a suitable hair color. You can draw your own oyu or use the templates below.
Once you release it from the whole sheet it is much easier to maneuver. Then slowly cut closer, notching out tight spaces.
- Once the patterns have been traced, carefully cut out each part of the doll's outfit.
- First, choose paper or fabric that you would like to use for the doll's outfit.
- To have more dolls in your chain, use a larger sheet of paper and fold more pleats before cutting.
A good rule of thumb is if it feels comfortable to go in close, then do so. If not, give it a few more passes until you feel papeg can easily go close enough without cutting off important details. Now you can put together your paper doll's first ensemble!

I made a bad bluff today in the $2k and I went out with a decent stack right before the dinner break.
I feel like I made mistakes throughout the whole hand - I should have raised pre instead of flatted; I should have given up when he called my raise on the flop; I never should have tried to take the pot down on the turn; I acted way too fast. A lot of it comes from the fact that I don't mind losing as much anymore as long as I lose well and I felt like I lost poorly today, which I don't like. In the end, I am probably being a little hard on myself - I was correct that my opp was weak pre; my play would have worked against any other hand, etc. But in the end, I should have played my hand better, conserved chips, and at least given myself a better shot at getting deeper.
Tomorrow I am playing the $1500 event, and vow to take my time with every decision so that I will not make a mistake.

Meghan Trainor doesn't just want to be on movie soundtracks, she wants to be in movies.
The singer, whose song "Me Too" is featured in I Feel Pretty, tells The Hollywood Reporter that her goal is to one day star in films similar to the Amy Schumer comedy.
"But I just want to do some cameos first," she says. "That's how you start. You get a little second here and then a few seconds there and then you get to be the lead."
For now, though, Meghan says she's excited that her song is featured in I Feel Pretty.
"I've been a huge fan of Amy Schumer since her early stand-up, and I always knew she was going to blow up but I just didn't know when," she says. "So, this is a dream come true to be here. This is a huge bucket list thing for me."
As for acting tips, maybe Meghan's actor fiancé, Daryl Sabara — who starred in the Spy Kids films — will help.

Instead of using cialis to get an erection, you could just jam a footlong, 1/4″ thick glass rod up your urethra. Then, when you want to get soft again, just smash it with a hammer.

When I worked at The UPS Store, we had one guy who just exuded a complete aura of "pervert" who had a mailbox with us. He used to get magazines and catalogs delivered to the box in a sealed paper envelope. After he closed out his account there, those kept coming for him, and since he was a weirdo and we were terrible employees, we opened one one day and it was a catalog of some of the most extreme, nastiest BDSM accessories I'd ever seen in my life, including an entire section of urethra plugs, some of which were ribbed for his "pleasure".
I lost my train of thought.

Waves of Energy
The ENERGY I have always felt when meeting someone is something that I have grown to trust and rely on. We call it our spidey senses, our intuition, our gut, but how often do we relinquish our egos long enough and just "go" with it.
After decades of second-guessing myself, I aim each day to operate on what "I just know" no logical reason, just KNOW. I have met many people recently who are choosing to operate each day from that level. If you start being aware, they are easy to spot!
For those who have toiled at the ability to hide who they truly are, you might think that you are fooling us, but you're probably not. We too can play some games, and just like you ALLOW us, sometimes we just ALLOW you to pretend also.
I am interested in hearing your stories, about when and how your inner voice spoke to you and what you did about it.

Review: V for Vendetta by Allan Moore
Hi readers:
"Remember, remember the fifth of November..."
A frightening and powerful tale of the loss of freedom and identity in a chillingly believable totalitarian world, V for Vendetta stands as one of the highest achievements of the comics medium and a defining work for creators Alan Moore and David Lloyd.
Set in an imagined future England that has given itself over to fascism, this groundbreaking story captures both the suffocating nature of life in an authoritarian police state and the redemptive power of the human spirit which rebels against it. Crafted with sterling clarity and intelligence, V for Vendetta brings an unequaled depth of characterization and verisimilitude to its unflinching account of oppression and resistance.
Long time no see. Sorry I haven't updated more frequently, I was on exams and I had too much homework to do, so I didn´t have time or energy to make a review. But, Today I finished school so let's celebrate with a review from my favorite graphic novel of all times: V for Vendetta.
If you think this name sound familiar maybe is because you remember hearing about the movie where Natalie Portman shaved her head.
Why I like this graphic novel so much?
Well I like that V is justice, he actually is justice, It doesn't matter if you are rich or poor but if you are not following the value of justice than V is going to prove you right. He believes that everybody deserves justice, prostitutes, homosexuals, kids etc. And I love that because this comic is old and I think it could be mind opening to people who didn't think the same way as V.
There is another reason I like this book, the movie is my dad favorite movie, and It was mine too, until The Perks Of Being a Wallflower came to my life (who doesn´t love Logan Lerman), so when I realized that V for Vendetta was a comic I had to read it, in some personal way I wanted to be more close to my dad by reading the book. I read it in 1 day, in my computer, and may I tell you when I finished it, it was midnight and I couldn't sleep because I was arguing about the book with myself, and I loved that feeling, where feel so trapped in a book that when you finish it you are still trapped.
Did I like the writing style?
I´ve read 3 graphic novels from Allan Moore, and two of them are old, and I learned English as my second language, so sometimes I don't understand some words but I like how he writes, he has a incredible world in his mind and I wish one day I could be as creative as he is.
Is V a heroe?
I don't usually think that a hero in a comic has to have powers, most of times I read a comic my favorite hero is a powerless, because they always are more intelligent and reasonable than the other heroes. Personally I think that everyone who stands for human rights is a hero, everyone who helps someone just to help, not to get something for a change.

Billy Strayhorn lived his too-short life in the shadow of Duke Ellington - between 1940 and 1967 [when he died aged 51] much of Ellington's orchestra repertoire (among the most significant bodies of music of the century) was written and arranged by Strayhorn, who rarely shared the limelight with his mentor and leader, and was friends with the likes of Lena Horne and other song stylists.
His compositions, of which "Lush Life" and "Take The A Train" are some of the best known of their time giving Strayhorn classic status among jazz composers. His life though, like that other back American writer James Baldwin, was marked and shortened by tragic levels of stress and self-destruction - Strayhorn also being a cultured black intellectual who was also openly gay at a time when this was brave and unusual and in a culture unsympathetic to gayness. Billy though took comfort in the world of cafe society, late nights, alcohol ....
There is a splendid book LUSH LIFE by David Hajdu which captures this period perfectly, and several recordings are available. I particularly like "THE PEACEFUL SIDE" [Capitol Jazz Cd, recorded in Paris in 1961] where Strayhorn plays his best compositions like "Passion Flower", "A Flower Is A Lovesome Thing" and "Something to Live For" accompanied only by a double bass and string quartet. He does not sing himself but a terrific vocal group supply wordless backings that just manage to avoid the cheesy in favour of the divine. Its not exactly dressing-up-to-go-out music (unless you are flying out to Paris) more the kind of album to save for seductions or perfect evenings in.
"Lush Life" with its stylish, melancholy lyric and great imagery which begins: "I used to visit all the very gay places, those come what may places, where one relaxes on the axis, of the wheel of life, to get the feel of life, from jazz and cocktails", and ends with "Romance is mush, stifling those who strive, I'll live a lush life in some small dive..." continues to be recorded by almost everyone - I particularly like Nancy Wilson's on her album of that name - and oddly enough there is a superlative version by Donna Summer on that album she did with Quincy Jones, though it is not currenly available on cd or download! Billy's work though shines on.

Hello and thanks for reading this. I have an older Hayward system (I didn't build it) and I think I might have a problem. The pump basket (image 1) shows a lot of swirling, the filter housing collects air (after completely draining the air, it takes just a few minutes for some air to re-collect). The psi is around 4, no air bubbles in the pool, system primes itself just fine and seems to hold suction when turned off. I noticed two the pipe connections on the bottom of the skimmer, but they are quite small, maybe an inch each and one doesn't have any suction.
It looks as if the pump would just not get enough water. And I was wondering why there are two pipe 'holes' on the bottom of the skimmer with only one actually sucking water.
Any hints are appreciated.

They sure looked happy and I sure had a good time shopping and meeting with my dear friend Jessie. Man, it sure is important for a little boy to have quality time with his daddy.

She is so cute. And a really good stacker!!ReplyDelete
Ok, I just had to comment on this. We had our Parents as Teachers appt again Monday. Chloe had a runny nose, so I had a box of Kleenex next to me. She kept grabbing Kleenex out, and the lady said to hold on to the box once it was empty and put things like scraps of fabric or toys in there since she obviously likes pulling things out of it. Apparently Avalyn got the memo too. Too funny!ReplyDelete

Ripe Jackfruit Jam / Ponsa Jam … Lots of ripe jackfruits are still available in the market though the season is almost coming to an end. Here is sweet and delicious homemade ripe jackfruit (Ponsa) Jam without preservatives that can be prepared easily and stored in fridge … Serves handy during monsoon months when it pouring heavily and you cant venture out much … A sure to be winner with Kids ... Just Spread it over Toast, Bread or Cream Cracker Biscuits … Yummy Yumz ....
Ripe Jackfruit / Ponsa Jam is very easy to make. All you need is some ripe and sweet jackfruit, some sugar and lemons. Yep. Only three ingredients. I have not added any preservative. I never add as it is for my home use. I just pour it in a glass bottle with a tight lid and put it in the fridge. Remove some in another small bottle which I use for regular use which is also kept in the fridge. I always follow this habit as mom used to tell not to open large bottles in which we have bulk jam / pickle / chutney too often. She always used to remove in small bottles and use from them and keep refilling it. That way you will not open the larger stock all the time. This ensures that the jam / pickles remain intact without getting exposed to air often. Also remember to always use clean and dry stainless steel spoon to remove the jam whenever you open the jar. Never use water dripping spoons or unclean ones, this also leads to the jam / pickle getting spoilt.
Coming back to ripe jackfruit, I had some ripe ones ready at home. The colour was also bright yellow and the taste was also sweet which meant I would get a lovely jam out of it. Rest is before you, see the awesome colour, I have not added any colour to it. Sugar is something that has to be added in proportion for shelf life. I have added equal amount of sugar as that of the ground pulp of jackfruit. A little bit less or more depending upon individual taste. With practice you will start getting perfect jams and you will never ever want to buy them from outside any more. I have prepared many varieties of jams like fig, tomato, papaya, strawberry etc. Do keep in touch with my Blog for my new entries. Till then do prepare this awesome jam and enjoy with your family. You can apply this jam on bread, toast, chapati or on bland biscuits like the cream crackers we get. You can also use this jam in similar manner that you use the jam's. I just love them on biscuits. So what are you waiting for, serve you kid healthy options of jam and you will beam in pleasure when you see them relishing it.
I have given in detail the recipe of preparation of Ripe Jackfruit Jam with tips ….. I suggest you read the matter fully for proper understanding of the procedure in leisure … It is very important you understand the ratio of pulp and sugar and of lemon addition ……
Use only the sweet fleshy portion of the jackfruit pieces. Remove the inner seed along with the skin attached to it and keep it aside. You can dry the seeds and use it in curries. We call it bikkand in Konkani. You can also freeze the same and use all year round. Do check in for preservation method in the blog elsewhere by giving search option. Cut the Jackfruit into small pieces. Put this in a blender and grind to a very smooth paste. There should not be any pieces left. Do NOT add water while grinding the jackfruit / ponosu. There is enough water content in the fruit to get a good smooth pulp. I got about 3 cups of the Jackfruit puree. Remove the ground jackfruit paste / puree into a thick bottomed kadai. Do not at any point add any water to the mixture. If you add water, you will unnecessarily increase the time of obtaining the jam consistency. Add in a tablespoon of ghee (Optional) and mix well. Bring the paste to a boil on medium heat by stirring it often. Once you see bubble bursting out of the puree, lower the heat and add in the sugar. The amount of sugar depends upon the sweetness of the fruit. I added about 3 full cups of sugar to the jam. You can increase or decrease as per the sweetness of jackfruit I always add equal amount of sugar as that of puree ie. 1:1 proportion.
How Much Sugar ? This is always the most important question. The ratio of sugar and fruit / veggies pulp is usually 1:1. Most chef's recommend this. You get the desired result in this ratio. I always follow this suggestion whenever I prepare Jam. But yes if the Ingredient used is very sweet you can decrease the level of sugar by about 10-20%. Again there are many recipes that suggest sugar content in half amount of that of the pulp. Lesser amount of sugar can be added and done if you are to consume it off fast say within a fortnight or so. But then it is your choice. I always suggest 1:1 ratio. This is to ensure that the jam comes out sweet as well as remain's good too. So I would say you be the best judge of the same. Preparing the jam a few times will enable you to judge the content of sugar to be added by trial and error. I have successfully prepared the jam's most of the time with equal amount or a little bit less. I repeat today I have used equal amount of sugar as that of pulp.
After adding in the sugar mix well with the pulp. To this mixture add in freshly squeezed juice of one lemon, mix well and continue cooking on medium heat till the mixture thickens. Do not raise the heat too much nor leave the jam unattended. If the heat is too high, the jackfruit burst out in bubbles and may create a mess as well as may hurt you. So be careful and do not stand too close to the kadai. Keep the heat medium and keep stirring the jam quite often. The jam will thicken and reduce in quantity. Now add in freshly squeezed juice off another lemon and mix well. As the jam reduces in quantity be careful and do not overcook the same. If not sure, reduce the flame to minimum.
Why Lemon Juice : Addition of lemon juice is a must for preparation of homemade Jam. Sugar as you cook tends to harden and further cooking often leads to crystallization of the sugar. Addition of lemon juice prevents crystallization. Lemon being alkaline has immense properties of the same, so it prevents sugar from getting crystallized and the jam thickens evenly and nicely with crystal lumps. So lemon juice is a must. How much depends on the quantity of the jam you are preparing. For this particular jam where I used approximately 3 glasses of jackfruit pulp and 3 full cups of sugar I have added freshly squeezed juice of 2 small sized lemon.
As the Jam thickens, to check if done just dip a spoon, if the back side of the spoon gets a thick coated jam when removing its done. Another method to check is drop a large tablespoon of the jam on a plate, if you see liquid seeping out its not done. If you see thick mass and when you tilt the plate if only thick liquid slopes slowly its, done. Leave it aside for 2 minutes. It should be sticky when cooled. Then the jam is done. Remove from fire and pour the hot jam into sterilized glass jars. The sterilization of glass jars is very important to prevent jam from getting spoilt. Also hot jam should be poured into the jars. If you are scared the bottle may break / crack, keep a large spoon with a long handle inside the jar, the handle of which should be outside the bottle and then pour over sliding through the spoon into the jar. This will ensure the glassware does not crack stays intact. Always use good quality jam bottles for storing to prevent mishaps. Leave ½ inch space on the top of the glass jar. Do not pour the jam till the rim of the bottle / jar.
Remove the spoon out if placed carefully. Now the jam is bottled. Leave aside partially covered with a plate to cool a little bit. Cover with a tight lid only after the jam has cooled for 5-10 minutes. The Jam is done and is actually ready to be used. Put the jam jar in the fridge and use as and when necessary. Do not forget to remove some into a smaller bottle for use. I have successfully kept it for 6 months. Though my jam gets over within a period of 3 months. Just to check the shelf life I kept the apple jam I had prepared in a smaller bottle for 6 months and it remained good. But frankly I suggest consumption of homemade jams within maximum 3 months period. So do not prepare them in large quantities. You can surely prepared different combinations and flavours and enjoy them as comes the season of fruit or veggies. You can apply this jam of bread, toast, dosa, chapati, paratha or cream cracker biscuit and relish the same. Do give me a feed back via email if you prepare the same. Enjoy this jam with family and friends.

circa 1931. Wood-engraving, single card leaf measures 6 x 8 1/2 inches, captioned image measures 3 3/4 x 4 7/8 inches, blank verso. Gentle creasing and marginal foxing, not affecting image. Item #414
"GODSPEED" Stunning Rockwell Kent wood-engraving from the early 1930s, a bow to the divine presence wholly characteristic of Kent during the artistic summit of his career. Rockwell Kent was not an orthodox believer but there was a pervasive spirituality underlying his early work. He was under the influence of William Blake, Friedrich Nietzsche, Walt Whitman, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Henry David Thoreau when he declared his intention to pursue the transcendent: "I don't want petty self-expression; I want the elemental, infinite thing; I want to paint the rhythm of eternity." Kent seemed to possess a reverence for angels as they were a constant theme in his work between the first and second world wars. Kent depicts an enormous angel, stretched horizontally above a tiny ship silhouetted against the radiant Northern Lights, guiding it as it toils across a nighttime sea. "Godspeed" was created by Kent in the early 1930s as a Christmas card for Guthrie and Florence Courvoisier of San Francisco. Guthrie was a fine art dealer who collaborated with the Walt Disney Company to produce the animated cels known as "Courvoisier Cels." See Philadelphia Museum of Art, 1971-2-520 and 1971-2-376. An image of great power and hope.
