Monday saw stocks kick off the session on a cautious note, after the Group of 20 (G20) – which includes the U.S. – over the weekend vowed to halve their respective national deficits by 2013. However, data showing a modestly larger-than-expected increase in consumer spending last month helped the major market indexes claw their way into the black by midday. Furthermore, the Street got an added intraday lift from Big Tobacco, after the U.S. Supreme Court issued a favorable ruling expected to save the cigarette industry billions of dollars. Nevertheless, in keeping with the recent trend of late-session unpredictability, stocks spent the final hour of trading wavering in and out of positive territory, eventually ending the session just south of breakeven.

Results for Major Market Indexes
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA – 10,138.52) finished with a loss of 5.29 points, or 0.05%.
The S&P 500 Index (SPX – 1,074.57) had a small loss also, on the day, of 2.19 points, or 0.20%.
The Nasdaq Composite (COMP – 2,220.65) also had a loss of 2.83 points, or 0.13%.
The Russell 2000 Index of smaller companies had a loss of 3.57 points, or 0.55%, to settle at 641.54.
Shares of Coca Cola Co (KO) and Procter & Gamble Co (PG) were two of the Dow Jones Industrial Average's best performers. Coca-Cola rose 1.6 percent to $51.08 and P&G gained 1.4 percent to $60.62.
The telecom sector was a bright spot, up 1% after President Barack Obama signed a memorandum to nearly double the amount of federal and commercial spectrum available for smart phones and wireless Internet devices. Sprint Nextel Corp. (S) jumped 6.2%, while MetroPCS Communications Inc. (PCS) added 0.8% and AT&T Inc. (T) rose 0.7%.
Consumer staples were among the best performers after a report on personal spending came in somewhat better than expected and the Supreme Court issued a decision that will benefit tobacco companies.
Bank stocks were lower as investors continued to digest the Wall Street reform bill Congress finalized last week. Lawmakers are expected to vote on the sweeping overhaul this week and send the bill to President Obama in July.
Trading volume:
About 7.08 billion shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange and Nasdaq, the lowest volume since April 5 and below last year's estimated daily average of 9.65 billion.
Declining stocks outnumbered advancing ones on the New York Stock exchange by 1626 to 1420 while on the Nasdaq there were 1572 declining stocks and 1090 advancers.
Notes of Interest….
• The Dow Jones Industrial Average's (DJIA) briefly crossed the 10,200 threshold during the course of the session, before succumbing to resistance at its 20-day moving average.
• Crude futures dropped today, thanks to disintegrating concerns about a potential hurricane disrupting production. More specifically, weather experts are no longer predicting Tropical Storm Alex to threaten refining areas in the Gulf of Mexico. Meanwhile, the greenback's newfound strength also weighed on black gold, making it more expensive for foreign-currency holders to scoop up the dollar-denominated commodity. By the close, crude oil for August delivery shed 61 cents, or 0.8%, to finish at $78.25 per barrel.
• August-dated Gold futures settled with a loss of $17.60, or 1.4%, at $1,238.60 an ounce. The strengthening dollar weighed on gold futures today, with the malleable metal finishing the session in the red. Nevertheless, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission said more investors were bullish on gold last week compared to the week prior, implying that many traders are betting on more record-high prices for the precious metal.
• Bonds: The yield on the 10-year Treasury note, considered a benchmark because it's used to set rates on consumer loans including mortgages, fell to 3.03 percent Monday, its lowest point since late April 2009. At that time, the markets were still recovering from the devastation of the financial crisis and collapse in stocks.
Economic Concerns
Personal Income and Outlays
U.S. consumer spending rose slightly more than expected in May even as savings touched their highest level in eight months, a government report showed on Monday.
The Commerce Department said spending edged up 0.2 percent after being flat in April. Analysts polled by Reuters had expected consumer spending to rise 0.1 percent.
Consumer spending is being closely watched to gauge the strength of the economic recovery after the government lowered estimates for the first quarter, holding back gross domestic product growth during that period.
A government report on Friday showed consumer spending, which normally accounts for 70 percent U.S. economic activity, rose at a 3 percent pace in the January-March quarter -- slower than the 3.5 percent the government had estimated last month.
Spending adjusted for inflation increased 0.3 percent last month after being flat in April. Real spending on services increased 0.3 percent, while spending on goods rose 0.2 percent, reversing the prior month's 0.1 percent decline, the Commerce Department said.
Personal income increased 0.4 percent after gaining 0.5 percent in April. Markets had expected income to rise 0.5 percent last month.
Real disposable income climbed 0.5 percent following a 0.6 percent increase the prior month.
The saving rate rose to 4.0 percent from 3.8 percent in April. Savings increased to an annual rate of $454.3 billion, the highest level since September. The report also showed the personal consumption expenditures price index, excluding food and energy, rising 1.3 percent in the 12 months to May.
The index, a key inflation measure monitored by the Federal Reserve, increased 1.2 percent in April.
Consumer spending remains a sticking point for the economy, which won't have a strong recovery until consumers feel more confident about buying again. With the recovery looking more uncertain, many investors are choosing to go with bonds because they are considered stable. And investors are willing to put up with bonds' lower returns simply because they are safer than stocks.
Retailers were hurt by the consumer spending report. Macy's Inc. lost 20 cents, or 1.1 percent, to $18.82, and Amazon.com Inc. fell $3.20, or 2.6 percent, to $117.80. Home Depot Inc. fell 61 cents, or 2 percent, to $29.59.
"What has been driving the market higher has been expectations that the good manufacturing recovery we've seen is going to take root and drive the whole economy forward," said Peter Jankovskis, co-chief investment officer at OakBrook Investments LLC in Lisle, Illinois.
"But the big concern there is, the consumer has to be the one to step up to the plate and make that happen."
Tobacco Industry
Meanwhile, tobacco stocks rose after the Supreme Court said it wouldn't take up a case between the government and tobacco makers. The decision prevents the government from getting billions of dollars from makers of cigarettes for anti-smoking campaigns. Reynolds American Inc. rose $2.08, or 4.1 percent, to $53.45, and Altria Group Inc., parent of Philip Morris USA, rose 64 cents, or 3.3 percent, to $20.34.
Gun Control Laws
A decision from the court signaled that gun control laws in Chicago and a nearby suburb likely would be struck down by a lower court. That gave a boost to shares of gun makers. Smith & Wesson rose 23 cents, or 5.6 percent, to $4.33, while Sturm, Ruger & Co. climbed 33 cents, or 2.2 percent, to $15.39.
Leaders of the world's most important economies agreed to ambitious targets for getting deficits under control, pledging to cut them in half by 2013, according to a statement made following the G-20 summit this weekend in Toronto.
But the leaders acknowledged that progress on deficit reduction will take more time for some countries, and included a special provision for Japan, which is heavily reliant on external borrowing.
The Energy Sector
Developments in the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill
* Costs to BP of its oil spill response hit $2.65 billion, the company said on Monday.
* BP is facing rising collateral requirements with its trading partners as it comes under financial pressure because of the spill.
BP (BP) is now spending $100 million a day to handle the resources necessary to clean up and contain the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
* BP Plc (BP) and Russia's government traded words over the future of the energy giant's chief executive, Tony Hayward, as a growing storm delayed efforts to capture more oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico.
* The Federal Reserve Bank of New York, probing the exposure of big financial firms to the British energy giant, gave banks a "passing grade," a source told Reuters.
* Tropical storm Alex was expected to become a hurricane on Tuesday as it headed northwest toward the Mexico-Texas border but was likely to stay far from the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
* High waves from Alex will delay BP's plan to add more oil-siphoning capacity at the gushing leak until next week, a company executive said on Monday.
* BP said its siphoning systems collected or burned off 22,750 barrels of oil on Saturday. The highest amount burned or collected since the April 20 explosion and leak was last Tuesday, when 27,100 barrels were kept out of the Gulf.
* To date, the total volume of oil recovered or flared is about 435,600 barrels, the company said on Monday.
* It might have been better for the environment to have done nothing about the enormous spill except to keep the oil out at sea, British scientists said on Monday.
* Key U.S. lawmakers investigating the BP oil spill have asked major energy companies for information on their response plans after it was discovered some companies' plans had errors including protecting species that don't live in the Gulf of Mexico.
* Oil from the spill washed ashore at one of the largest tourist beaches in Mississippi on Monday, forcing tourists to pack their bags and evacuate the shore.
Noble Corp.
Offshore drilling services company Noble Corp. is bulking up its operations while signaling that business as usual won't return to the Gulf of Mexico for some time.
The Swiss company said Monday it will buy privately held Frontier Drilling for $2.16 billion in cash and also struck $4 billion worth of new contracts with Royal Dutch Shell.
Noble is also giving Shell the right to suspend any contracts the two have for rigs operating in the Gulf because of the proposed U.S. moratorium on drilling in deep water.
The agreements with Shell cover two ultra deepwater projects and are subject to closing the deal with Frontier.
Shell will pay reduced fees for leasing Noble's rigs in the Gulf. The Obama administration in May ordered a six-month halt on exploratory drilling in waters more than 500 feet deep. The ban is being disputed in the courts. Noble was stung earlier this month when Anadarko Petroleum said it planned to excuse itself from drilling contracts because of the moratorium.
Noble spokesman John Breed said the Shell deal is aimed at keeping oil companies from trying to abandon agreements altogether in the Gulf.
"We're working with our customers to find a resolution that would allow them to keep rigs under contract," Breed said.
Argus Research analyst Phil Weiss said the decision suggests that oil companies are digging in for an extended delay in drilling projects in the Gulf. Even if the moratorium ends, many companies are reluctant to expand in the area until they see how the government will regulate business there, he said.
"If this was going to be a short moratorium, they wouldn't have had to come up with these kinds of solutions," Weiss said. The Frontier deal is expected to close by the end of July. It would add six floating drilling units to Noble's fleet.
Noble said it should take on loans from existing lines of credit to complete the deal for Frontier, also known as FDR Holdings Limited.
Noble shares added $1.71, or 5.8 percent, to $30.99 in morning trading.
Overseas Concerns
Investors grew concerned that a pledge by G-20 nations to halve their deficits by 2013 and stabilize their debt by 2016 sends an important symbolic message that the days of endless stimulus are over. The move comes as investors have gotten worried that the pace of the economic recovery may be slowing, exacerbated by debt issues in Europe and China's efforts to put the brakes on its growth.
"We still don't have any housing recovery to speak of and we have very little employment recovery to speak of and that's not typical of a recovering economy 15 months in," said Terry Morris, co-portfolio manager at National Penn Investors Trust.
"Investors are taking a wait-and-see attitude. They want to see it before they'll believe it anymore."
In currencies, the euro slumped 0.78% to $1.2274. Wall Street was also weighed down by this weaker euro, which has a tendency to influence U.S. market sentiment and reinforce worries about the European sovereign debt crisis. The currency fluctuation also dragged the basic materials sector 1% lower, hurting stocks like U.S. Steel (X).
The dollar was higher against the euro, but was flat versus the British pound and Japanese yen.
Overseas Markets
European Markets rallied. Britain's FTSE 100 rose 0.5 percent, Germany's DAX index gained 1.4 percent, and France's CAC-40 rose 1.6 percent.
Asian Markets ended mixed on Monday. Japan's Nikkei index lost 0.4%, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng index rose 0.2%.
Company Earnings Reports
There have been some positive notes today, particularly from the earnings arena. Several companies have presented earnings reports that exceeded analysts' expectations. These are:-
• Standard Microsystems Corp (SMSC)
• Micron Technology (MU)
** Zep Inc (ZEP) presented an earnings report that met analysts' expectations.
** Barnes & Noble Inc. (BKS) presented an earnings reports that did not meet analysts' expectations.
Company News and Movements:
• Apple (AAPL) said it sold 1.7 million iPhone 4's in its first three days alone, making it Apple's "most successful" product launch ever.
• Aflac (AFL) said it sold $270 million of Greek debt as the insurer became the latest investor to shy away from European sovereign debt. Aflac said it will incur an after-tax investment loss of $67 million in the second quarter. It also exchanged a risky hybrid European security for a higher-rated debt instrument with a fixed maturity date and reduced its holdings in another European hybrid, resulting in a gain of $80 million.
• Kraft (KFT) inked a deal to unload Cadbury's E. Wedel-branded chocolate and sugar confectionery operations in Poland to Japan's Lotte Group for an undisclosed price. The sale had been mandated by the European Commission as part of its conditional approval of Kraft's Cadbury takeover.
• After the closing bell, 3M Co (MMM) gained 1 percent to $79.75 as the diversified manufacturer announced a second-quarter sales forecast in the range of $6.6 billion to $6.75 billion.
• Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. and AstraZeneca PLC said a late-stage clinical trial showed its diabetes drug candidate dapagliflozin was more effective than placebo at reducing blood sugar levels.
The companies ran a trial involving 800 patients with type 2 diabetes, comparing three doses of dapagliflozin and insulin to a combination of insulin and a placebo. Some of the patients in the 24-week study also took oral anti-diabetes drugs.
The drugmakers said patients who took dapagliflozin saw a bigger reduction in blood sugar levels than those who took the placebo. Patients on dapagliflozin also had a larger reduction in body weight over the course of the study, a greater reduction in the size of the insulin dose they needed, and a bigger change in fasting blood sugar levels.
• General Mills (GIS ) said late Monday its board authorized the repurchase of up to 100 million common shares. The new program replaces the previous authorization approved in December 2006, and has no expiration date. The board also approved a quarterly dividend of 28 cents a share, bringing the annualized dividend rate to $1.12, up 17% from fiscal 2010. The quarterly dividend will be paid Aug. 2.
Options Movement
The following companies had some impressive options movements:-
• Home Depot (HD)
• Trina Solar (TSL)
• Ciena (CIEN)
Investors are growing anxious ahead of the release of the government's June employment report on Friday. The May report was troubling because it showed that private employers are hiring few workers. That hurts the economy since consumers aren't likely to spend if they aren't working or are worried about losing their jobs.
Burt White, chief investment officer at LPL Financial in Boston, said the coming weeks will be important for investors because of the jobs report on Friday and the announcement of earnings for the April-June quarter. White said stronger profits could convince businesses to start investing more. That, economists hope, will lead to more hiring.
"Businesses have to commit to this recovery," White said. Traders said the tone of Monday's session was cautious as the market remains nervous about the debt crisis in Europe and the possibility of a so-called double dip recession in the United States.
"The market is hungry for direction in terms of the labor market and industrial sector," said Nick Kalivas, vice president of financial research at MF Global. "We're in wait-and-see mode on those issues today."
Tuesday brings reports on home prices in 20 major U.S. cities and a key measure of consumer confidence. Manufacturing reports are due later in the week and the government's closely-watched monthly jobs report comes out Friday.
While the markets had been solidly higher early in the day, the flat finish shows the bulls were unable to bounce back from a week that saw the Dow lose more than 300 points last week amid persistent economic worries. However, Wall Street may receive a boost this week from the calendar as portfolio managers positions themselves for the end of the second quarter.
"We're heading into the quarter end. That should give the market a bid condition," said Peter Kenny, managing director at Knight Capital Group. "Institutional investors aren't willing to liquidate positions that may have a dire impact on performance when they could just as well hold onto them."
So make the most of what the market has to offer, start trading options.

Listen, Listen by Phillis Gershator & Alison Jay
Just wanted to tell you about this cute, rhyming, sing-song book I won from the barefoot book company. Now don't ask me what site I won it on because I don't remember, none-the-less I won it. Listen, Listen is a book for all seasons about all seasons. Your young child will love the sounds and sights of the changing seasons. This book is a hard cardboard book that will stand a preschoolers much use. The pictures are bright and colorful. You can also use it as an eye-spy book having your child find things in the pictures. I was very please that I won this book and so excited to see the kids adding it to their stack of books to read.

Woodworker's Journal 2007-Winter, страница 21
To complete the top, install spacer blocks with screws and glue to the underside, where the top rails of the base will meet the top as shown in the top photo on page 23.
Making the Tail Vise
Many woodworkers are nervous about making a tail vise, because it appears so complicated. In fact, it is only parts and pieces, like anything else you make.
Begin by building the tail vise frame, which consists of two jaws dovetailed to a face piece, and a back runner connecting the front and rear jaws (see the Exploded View on page 18). Frank's design uses through dovetails at the rear jaw but half-blind dovetails at the front jaw, to provide an unbroken face-grain surface where it meets the other jaw. Here again, he uses a simple router jig to hog out the dovetail sockets, then cleans them up with a chisel. The tails themselves are band-sawn carefully and then pared to final fit with chisels. While the front vise jaw is still free, joint about 1/8" off the rearward part so you'll be able to resurface the clamping surface of the jaw a couple of times in the future, as necessary.
The dovetail joints that join the back rail to the jaws are also easily cut with a band saw. The top of this runner should be even with the bottom of the end cap when the vise is assembled to the bench. To make sure this happens, drill the clearance hole for the benchscrew in the rear jaw so that it is the same height up from the runner as the benchscrew nut is from the bottom of the end cap. Drill this hole slightly oversize so you have some room for adjustment when assembling the tail vise to the bench. (Refer to the Drawings for details.)
To complete the tail vise subassembly, glue a thin piece of plywood to the inside of the face piece to close off the bench dog slots and install the hardwood runner to support the front of the vise.
Installing the Tail Vise
In order to attach the tail vise, you'll need to make two guide blocks and one more runner. The outside guide block bolts to the underside of the end cap, and the inside block is bolted and glued to the underside of the top, where it forms the lower part of the vise jaw. (Again, look at the Elevation Drawings for these construction details.) The runner is bolted into a notch in the inner block and slides in the notch in the main jaw of the vise as shown in the inset photo on the next page.
For smooth operation of the tail vise, it is critical to make all the parts accurately and to be sure the runners are parallel to each other and to the benchtop. Before you install the benchscrew, move the tail vise through the full range of its motion by hand to check for binding and interference. Any misalignment or eventual sagging can be fixed by shimming the runners and rails as needed.

Like Eva Longoria said, "This is not a moment. This is a movement." And tonight at the 60th annual Grammy Awards, the music industry continues to represent the Time's Up initiative that started at this year's Golden Globe Awards. But instead of an all-black dress code, the Grammys found singers, producers, and songwriters using white roses to symbolize the movement's mission, more specifically to pay homage to the suffragettes, who, led by Susan B. Anthony, fought to get (only) white women the right to vote. But there's one star who opted out of the boutonnière trend and instead used a headpiece to continue the dialogue — one you probably didn't even notice.
Normally, if we saw Lana Del Rey wearing a diamond-encrusted halo, we'd thinking nothing of it — she's just being Lana. But tonight, her red carpet moment ignited some major déjà vu for fans on Twitter because this star-studded crown looked eerily familiar. After a little social media sleuthing, one fan @eeeeeeeeeehhh called out exactly what the rest of us missed: That crown is a nod to famous Austrian-born actress Hedy Lamarr, who passed away in 2000.
Lana is channeling Hedy Lamarr and I'm crying 😭😭😭😭😭😭 this is my aesthetic 😭😭😭 that headpiece matches my favorite earrings 😭😭😭 pic.twitter.com/AIfULlalYS

Look at her 😭😭😭 @TabloidArtHist pic.twitter.com/RPZhBmdB0h
— 🥀 (@eeeeeeeeeehhh) January 28, 2018
That celestial headpiece that Del Rey took inspiration from is straight from Lamarr's role as Sandra Kolter in 1941's Ziegfeld Girl. It's an iconic look, and although the singer's crown is much smaller than Lamarr's, the meaning behind it isn't.
Lamarr may have starred alongside Hollywood's biggest actors in the '30s to the late '50s, but she died being largely unacknowledged for her accomplishments that reached far beyond the movie industry. Not only did she help her Jewish mother escape a Nazi-run Austria, but after starring in several films, she went on to become an inventor. (Yes, you can thank Lamarr for your Bluetooth Beats.) After Vanity Fair reported that the documentary Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story would finally tell the narrative Lamarr always deserved, it had fans everywhere wondering about everything we thought we knew of the star. It's high time we learned more about the real, extraordinary life of the woman who, like most at the time, was given film roles that purely existed to emphasize her physical beauty and sexuality.
Although Del Rey hasn't confirmed Lamarr is exactly who her hairstylist looked to for Grammy-night inspiration, the parallels are uncanny and undeniably meaningful. Even if Lamarr left us before she was recognized for her inventive feats, now — with a little help from Del Rey — we're making sure that women doing the most don't go unnoticed again.

I've been a Girl Scout for almost 20 years, so you might think that I have this whole "be prepared" thing down. But I really, really don't. I'm not a procrastinator by nature. I cannot understand the concept behind, "I write better under pressure." But as work piled on this semester, I found myself completing my work closer and closer to deadline. My reading became scanning. My notes diminished in length. I was still getting it all done somehow, but I was really setting myself for failure.
There are four weeks to Advent. That's because preparing for Christmas shouldn't be a rushed job. The preparation should be steady and mindful. It should permeate the rhythm of daily life for a few weeks, becoming a part of living. And then that rhythm is broken in a radical revelation:
God incarnate.

Vegueta, Las Palmas oldtown offers variety and a unique location, it is well-preserved and one of the most beautiful towns in Spain. Located in the south of the urban area it is today one of the town's economic, social and tourist centers. The most famous Las Palmas monuments, architectural attractions and sightseeing places are in Vegueta
Among these are Cathedral Santa Ana, is a must see in Las Palmas as there is a fantastic panoramic view of the city from the Cathedral. And of course the Cathedral itself is impressive. Construction of the Cathedral began around 1500 but was stopped 70 years later because there was no money. As it was built over a long period its exterior is neoclassicism and its interior is late Gothic.
Opposite the Cathedral is the lovely square Plaza de Santa Ana. This square is right in the centre of Las Palmas. Surrounded by important religious, municipal and judicial buildings and of great ideological importance, its style was copied for similar squares all over Latin America. Its construction dates back to the beginning of the 16th century. Its entrance is guarded by bronze statues of dogs.
Next to the Cathedral is Casa de Colon (The house of Columbus). It is a fascinating museum celebrating the role of Gran Canaria in the discovery of the New World. Despite the name, Columbus only stayed there on visiting the island, it was in fact the residence of the Governor of the island. Interesting and unique architecture plus good exhibits, representing the civilisations encountered in the New World.
Since its inauguration in 1989 the Centro Atlántico de Arte Moderno (CAAM) has become a major reference in the cultural and educational life of the islanders. Concealed behind a traditional façade, formerly belonging to a hotel, this centre is definitely worth visiting especially because of its spectacular interior design with white walls, marble stairs and acres of glass.
Not very far from the CAAM is the Museo Canario that houses the Canary Islands' largest collection of pre-Hispanic objects from the period of 500 B.C. until the 15th century. There is a permanent exhibition with statuettes of gods, jewellery, pottery, tools, mummies, skeletons and many other artefacts related to the life of the Guanches, the aborigines of the Canaries. The displays also include scale models of Guanche "houses" and a replica of the Cueva Pintada at Gáldar
Just around the corner from the Museo Canario is the well-worth-a-visit Plaza del Espírito Santo (Square of the Holy Spirit), a charming square with an impressive monumental fountain located in its centre, surrounded by a number of stately historical houses and the Chapel of the Holy Spirit.

(Again…I will be supplying you with many different Time-Sucks. All of them happened. But there were THREE that made it impossible to do extra stuff, like blogging. The contest is: which 3 were the real reasons I stopped blogging? You'll probably have to read all of them before you can guess. Now onto the post.)
Was I unable to blog, because I was too busy asking everyone under the sun about this:
Was I sooo hoping everyone would say, "Thumb sucking? There's nothing wrong with it. Let her do it forever because you have 5 children and who knew thumb sucking was so soothing and cute?"
Time suck? (You know that pun's intended).

Arijit Singh's dream project - Let There Be Light
B-Town's blue eyed boy of the musical scene, Arijit Singh has been the talk of the town ever since he zoomed into our lives with superhits from Aashiqui 2. The superstar shot to fame as a participant on a popular reality television show, Fame Gurukul but he certainly hasn't let stardom get to his head.
The hit machine of Bollywood has to his credits several chartbusters which include Tum hi ho (Aashiqui 2), Raabta (Agent Vinod), Duaa (Shanghai), Yaariyan (Cocktail), Kabira and Illahi (Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani), Main Rang Sharbaton Ka (Phata Poster Nikhla Hero), Mast Magan (2 States) - an envious collection of work for sure! The man has received immense appreciation and words of encouragement from industry stalwarts and his ever increasing fan follwoing cements him into our space further more.
Ask the shy singer about his dream project and his smile broadens. The man who has taken the industry by storm is a humble being and so are his dreams. Blessed with the most mesmerizing voice of the deacde, Arijit would love to serve people through his NGO - Let There Be Light which works for the BPL community. Further he said, ''I want to build up that NGO. I have thought of 3-4 songs for that project. I will make a video and a documentary film too for it. Generally NGOs have got a bad reputation, because people think its meant to siphon off money. I want to get out of that zone.'' The NGO aims to comprise activities like bloodbank camp (with proof and records and photographs of all the blood being delivered properly), distribution of clothes, books, stationary, etc to bpl children on a huge scale and seasonal human ground activities.
When powerful help the needful, power is well used! Kudos Arijit!

One of my favorite shows to watch is Jon & Kate Plus 8 on TLC, I'm sure most of you have seen this show, I LOVE it, last night after about the 4th episode in a row I finally turned the tv off and went to bed, I could watch them all day! It is so hot these days, miserably hot! I take my kiddos out early because it's too much for them in the afternoon, I plan on taking them for a stroll this morning, my 3rd one doesn't get here until 10 and I have a double stroller so it works out. Not too much exciting to report this week, just kinda doing the normal, I can't believe it's already Thurs. but that's okay I am on vacation next week! yeah! I need to download some pictures for you so I'll check back in later! S

As part of a bizarre trend, a number of rivers all over the world have suddenly been turning blood red. And this time, it was the Bah Bolon river in Sumatra, Indonesia that underwent this baffling transformation.
To the horror of the people in Sumatra, they awoke to find that one of their local rivers, the Bah Bolon, had shifted to a uniform shade of red. The odd change had happened dramatically and remained consistent for an extended period of time. Long enough, even, for people throughout the surrounding region to arrive and view this unsettling spectacle.
Although, for these local individuals, unsettling might be the softest term they'd use to describe this event.
Theories on the lighter end range from a horrific degree of toxic chemical dumping having took place, to the river's ecosystem being so dangerously unbalanced that it couldn't control a runaway bloom of microorganisms. On the darker end, some have naturally leaped to conclusions regarding religious signs like, "the rivers running red", to justify beliefs about radical earth changes taking place.
However, some of the region's poorly regulated industrial companies still seem to have become the most likely culprits in the minds of the natives, as it's no question to anyone in the local area that said companies callously dump whatever they please into their surrounding environment without any worry of repercussion.
Yet this still seems to be a partial explanation, at best, for what can be seen in photos and videos.
Due to the consistency of the water's odd color, the easiest explanation would seem to be that this is the result of a microorganism. Which still could be the result of chemical dumping, or really, a number of other things that might have triggered such a bloom.
But the strangest aspect of this event truly lies in the fact that it has happened numerous times in recent years in locations throughout the world. Here's just some of the sites that brief search turned up.
-2016 the massive Daldykan river in Siberia
-2013 a Slovakian town Myjava
-2013 Nootdorp, the Netherlands
-2012 Beirut river, Lebanon
-2016 Sydney beach, Australia
-2012 Bondi beach, Australia
-2014 Zhejiang Province, China
There's many more sites that have seen this phenomenon take place. So if you're interested, please research these events to try and grasp the full scope of this odd situation.

Today mark's my grandfather's birthday, may he rest in peace. I can't but help to moved by the life he lived. Honest, hardworking, joyful, religious, and patriotic – he was a true man of character. A 100% blue collar worker, he labored his entire life so that his family could live the American Dream. And he succeeded. Among his family are successful business executives, accountants, lawyers, nurses, and public officials.
100% Sicilian, he joined the US Army as a teenager and fought in the European theater – including in the Battle of the Bulge. His unit was all but wiped out, but he survived to come home and build a wonderful, loving home for his wife and family. We grandchildren are truly blessed by PaPa's legacy.
In the words of Abraham Lincoln, he was among the "iron men, they fought for the principle that they were contending for; and we understood that by what they then did it has followed that the degree of posterity that we now enjoy has come to us." His generation – what many dub the greatest generation – made huge sacrifices so that we might enjoy the blessings of liberty. It is incumbent upon us, therefore, to live up to that great responsibility so that our children and grandchildren can continue the legacy.
Let us pray we are up to the challenge.

The present results indicate that anti-ischemic drugs have only limited efficacy on ventricular arrhythmia.

Bridges were initially formed naturally, by nature in the form of a fallen tree leading from one side of a body of water to the other. There is still plenty of current evidence of these natural bridges you'll see when walking through the forest or fishing your way up a small mountain stream. People figured out this comprehensible idea and began brainstorming ways to man-make a bridge. Bridges used to be a simple structure and some of those early methods of making the path easier can still be found today. Over time stone, concrete and metal have moved their way in to dominate most of the world's modern bridge structures. They are amazing, some of them being beautiful pieces of architecture and art and thus tourist attractions. I found myself crossing a simpler kind of bridge this beautiful October fall day and I didn't wanted to take it for granted.
Without a bridge to cross on this chilly October day, I would have been wading through the shallow, yet frigid waters of Lolo Creek to get from one side to the other. Thank God I happen to carry waders and wading boots in my vehicle at all times, along with plenty of other outdoor essentials in the case that I get stranded. That being the case, for me to ford the creek wouldn't cause any potential shivers or shrinkage. When out of doors and enjoying all that nature has to offer, I often find myself thinking of how others before us consistently lived outdoors, survived off of the land, and used their own muscle and means to make a living and provide for each other.
I truly admire those that lived in what we now call a "simpler" time. They were not graced with the modern marvels and technology of today that seemingly make our lives easier and more efficient. I admire those that lived in past times where there were no cars, there wasn't always a bridge to cross, and there was never a promise that dinner would be served that evening. When I am out exploring nature solo and feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand up as I sense that something else is near or that I am being watched, I like to think of our ancient ancestors. Those living in times when they didn't have bear spray or firepower to protect them. They didn't have cars. Hell, they didn't even have shoes! They sure managed though and did a hell of a job at it!
I didn't want to take this simple bridge for granted because it provides me a path. This bridge gave me a clear definition of where I was destined to go and where my journey exploring outdoors would take me. This bridge brings me to and from the spot where I soon hope to harvest an animal and provide meat to survive off of. This bridge casts a shadow on a creek that I love dearly and enjoy casting a fly on. So I took the time to honor that structure and admire the craftsmanship behind it. The bolts and nails may be rusty, the wood may be faded, but the means and purpose of what this bridge serves for stand strong.
Today was another wonderful October day outside in beautiful Big Sky country. It marked a special day for me though, one that I won't forget for some time: a day where I took to enjoying simple and often unnoticed things in my life. I truly took the time to appreciate everything that was happening in and around me.

Al Jazeera is the propaganda organ of nasty little Qatar, and a stout Defender of the Faith, with all sorts of distractions and deflections as the arrows in its quiver. Its English-language version cleverly tones down, in both form and content, what it offers full-blast in the Arabic-language version -- which American soldiers may remember helped to whip up Iraqis against them.
But this article on the grisly murder, by a maddened Muslim mob, of an Afghan women, in the middle of Kabul, while the police stood all around and watched too, is worth reading, because it acccurately describes the mob as consisting not of rude rustics but of seemingly advanced urban Afghanis, who as soon as the charge of Qur'an-desecration was made, immediately went into action.

Unpacking Life's greatest gifts
What would you say are your greatest gifts,
Have you taken them out of the package they came wrapped in?
I can still remember one special Christmas
When our parents came into the front room a few hours later they were furious. They had arranged the packages under the tree with such creativity that it had looked picture perfect. Who had messed with their arrangements? All we had done was sort them according to the persons to whom they were designated. We hadn't opened any presents.
Many people seem more enamored with the gift wrapping than the actual usefulness of the gift itself.
" Look what talents I have! Did you know that I have a gift for building things?"
"You do?
To be sure we can admire the number of gifts and talents that each of us
So, the question is not how many gifts,
Luke records (Luke 19:11-27) Jesus story of the
Beyond a doubt life is risky and life is not easy. But, we need to be sure that we aren't just admiring the gifts at our feet.
If you would like to work on unwrapping the gifts,

listening to: Vanessa Mae
the end of the school is upon us. tomorrow morning we will have a closing ceremony and the students will be free to roam the village streets for 2 weeks. i expect that some of them will come play at the school during the break. the school will be open because the teachers are required to be here during that time. this vacation time is used for staff rehauling. at our school we are only losing one person--the vice principal. and that's sad, 'cause he's wonderful. a really smart man with a really warm personality. when i first got here Gabrielle pointed him out and said, "doesn't he look like a giant teddy bear?" and that image has stuck with me and is right on the money. the new vice principal will be arriving from the island of Iheya, and i hope he's as computer savvy as Kamayama-san is.
on Saturday, OgimiChu's teachers and administritators will be partying in Naha city as a way to say "goodbye" to the departing staff members (singular in our case). The party is a big deal and all schools have them. Other ALTs have been torn between several parties from all their schools, but i have it easy--one little school, one party.
it's been hard to sit down and start this blog. i've been recently contimplating the reasons why i came here and whether any of them have been justified so far.
i am not complaining or regretting--far from it. just trying to take stock of all that has happened in the last 7 months. and it really has been that long already and it's really hard for me to believe it. feels like i just started here. actually it feels like that every day.
so i always have the dilemma of what to write about. i form entries as i drive from one side of the island to another, but they don't always make it here. like my recent fascination with the Japanese phenomenon of high suicide rates and child self-seclusion known as hikikomori . If you're interested for more info Google it .
am still reading up on it, but it does not seem to be a prevalent phenomena on Okinawa. would be hard to know for sure, though, because of its shameful implications for the families.
yesterday was taken out to dinner by Mr. Taira with my supervisor, Mr. Miyagi, and an office lady from the BOE, Keiko-san. Mr. Taira took us to the same sushiya we went to last time.
Once again i had an incredible meal.....i don't believe i could ever not like sushi and sashimi. there were new tastes last night: i tried an octopus from Hokkaido, a milky soup with a giant oyster, sea urchin, and i finally ate the giant clam (mirugai) and it was fantastic. i've seen the sushi guys cut up the mirugai at Hama and it always looked so strange and smelled a bit off, so i've never braved it. it was worth the wait to have it last night, at a first-class sushiya, delivered fresh from mainland Japan.
mr. taira and mr. miyagi are already talking about me staying here for five years. i would have to take a test to be able to teach elementary school after Gabrielle leaves. as appealing as that sounds, i really don't see myself doing it. some days are really difficult.
like today when i stood in front of the classroom and recited 20 words in a row because the JTE decided to cram two lessons worth of material into the very last English class. the kids were ready to fall out of their desks and i don't blame them. how boring to have their last English class be filled with material that is overwhelming, poorly taught, and mostly useless and/or repeat of stuff they should have already learned.
i am seriously considering starting an English club for the next school year. gonna work on the proposal during spring break.
if i am to believe that i am accomplishing something while i am here that is along the lines of what JET Programme anticipates then i need to start doing things outside of the classroom with the students. i won't be able to change the teaching style in use at the moment by the JTE--although i will not stop trying, but they need more genuine interaction in English, especially the ones that seems to have taken a liking to the language.
thanx to the wonderful planning of ms. Yasemine, a few of us got a chance to see whales off the coast of Okinawa on Tuesday. it was a national holiday and we stayed at Yasemine's monday night to get up early for an 8:30am boarding at a port in Naha. it was a windy three-hour-tour and we followed three whales for 2 out of those 3 hours. we saw one of them make two beautiful jumps. they played very close to the 5 boats that followed them. at one point, one of them came up for air within 5 meters of our boat. extraordinary sight. slightly unreal to experience a sight so natural and yet so rarely observed by humans. am so lucky. and yet i wonder if it doesn't bother them to be in such close vicinity to the boats. although, they didn't seem to mind that much because they didn't stray very far from the boats.
for a much more eloquent and informed account of the experience, please check out Kelly's blog--where she turns her historical skills to nature.
i didn't take too many pics, wouldn't have done justice to the experience but both Kelly and Yasemine lucked out and captured on video the jumps. i will post the photos i have and also from the weekend when Kelly, Chiye and i went to Katsuren castle.
we also went out for pizza last weekend at the famous Motobu restaurant at the top of a mountain.
it's one of those interesting things about Okinawa that a restaurant whose menu offers three food items: an appetizer, a giant salad, and pizza should be on the of the most famous on the island. granted, the view is wonderful and the pizza is well done.

Nice reflection- you know how i feel, thanks for sharing with us! by the way- it always rains on Thursday here. I notice because I go to my visiting school that day and I swear 9 times out of 10 it rains. What is the deal with that?
- Chris said...
it's only been raining on thursday? I'm moving north!
yeah, e, i think every ALT has that same feeling: wondering if they're actually accomplishing something. Your idea about doing stuff outside of class is good; I find the more I do, the more chances I get to actually reach the kids.
