Okay, so I admit this is partly my fault, but I think these various websites need to take some responsibility too.
Here's the deal: A little while ago I decided to change some preferences in my Zap2It account. (Zap2It is the online TV listing I emigrated to when I got tired of waiting forever and a weekend for TV Guide's graphics to load. Now, of course, Zap2It has discovered Flash-animated advertising, so it takes forever and a weekend for the...ad...for...Glenn...Close's...new..series...to...load...before...the...listings...will...appear.) This meant logging in, naturally, and that's where the problem began. I put in one of my e-mail addresses and a likely password. And was rewarded with a screen that told me my "e-mail/password is invalid."
Well, yes. But which is it?
I have half a dozen e-mail addresses; in all likelihood I would have used one of my "big three" in signing up. I have more password out there than you can shake a stick at, and while I keep important ones stored (not on the computer, and not in a form that any would-be trespasser is apt to make sense of) there are half a dozen or so that I use for "non-vital" purposes like this one. It's been too long since I did permutations or factorials or whatever they may be to figure out how many possibilities we have here, but it's a bunch.
Of course, there's the "forget your password?" button...which means I have to keep plugging in e-mail addresses until I hit the magic combination. So I got it on the second try--that's not the point! The point is, wouldn't life be simpler if they would tell me which item, the address or the password, I got wrong? It would certainly cut down on the guesswork. And since some (indeed, many) sites seem capable of doing this, I don't suppose it's prohibitively difficult to effect.
And, yes, I could just write this stuff down. But I'm not always in the same location as my password list (seems like a bad idea to carry it around with me). And is it too much to ask that they meet me halfway?

No positive drug tests on Smith, IOC reports
Published 4:00 am, Friday, July 26, 1996
ATLANTA - Michelle Smith, the Irish swimmer who has won three gold medals, passed at least one drug test during the Atlanta Games, according to the International Olympic Committee.
No positive tests were reported from the first day of competition Saturday, when Smith won her first gold in the 400-meter individual medley, IOC spokeswoman Michele Verdier confirmed Thursday.
"If the IOC has nothing to report, it means there are no doping cases," Verdier said.
Smith also should have been tested after winning the 400-meter freestyle Monday night and the 200-meter individual medley Wednesday night.
Verdier said all test results are usually known within three days.
At a news conference Thursday morning, Verdier was pressed to announce the results of Smith's tests.
"We are not giving publicly any name," she said. "We are following the IOC medical code. If there is a doping case, we will announce it. We announce only a proven doping case. We respond only to facts. We are not responding to rumors or allegations."
TRYING NEW COMPUTERS: A week into the Olympics, news agencies led by The Associated Press readied an alternative way to get statistics from the glamour sport of track and field in case organizers cannot fix their ailing computerized-results system.
Tests were under way on a parallel plan to take in summaries from Friday's track and field, the most crowded part of the Olympic program.
NBC PICKS UP BIG NUMBERS: NBC's coverage of the Olympics continues to earn record ratings.
NBC's prime-time average for Wednesday night was 22.4 with a 41 share, up 19 percent from the first Wednesday night of the Barcelona Games in 1992. In fact, the 22.4 was better than any prime-time rating for an event in either Barcelona or Seoul in 1988.
NBC Sports Research estimates 94 million people watched all or part of Wednesday night's telecast, making it the fourth straight night of at least 90 million viewers.
SWEDISH JUMPER OUT: Swedish high jumper Patrik Sjoberg, winner of two silver medals and one bronze in the last three Olympics, pulled out of the Atlanta Games because of injury.
Swedish officials said Sjoberg had strained a thigh muscle in training for the high jump, which starts on Friday, the opening day of track and field competition.
Another injury casualty was South African marathon runner Xolile Yawa, who withdrew on Thursday after sustaining a stress facture of his femur while training in New Mexico, according to a team spokesman.
ATHLETES GET REPRIEVE: Two athletes who failed recent drug tests will compete in the Games even though world track officials wanted them kicked out.
The council of the International Amateur Athletic Federation submitted the cases of Australian sprinter Dean Capobianco and Italian high jumper Antonella Bevilacqua to arbitration.
The hearings will be held by the IAAF arbitration panel two or three months after the Games, meaning the athletes are eligible to compete in Atlanta.<

text: Can someone provide some insight into this one? I mean, what hunts were they specifically talking about giving 25% of the available tags--or were they talking 25% across the board? Don't get me wrong with this one--I am fully supportive of our troops and the tough job they do, but I also know that the interpretation of disabled can vary widely (lots of "disabled" military would not be recognized as disabled in the traditional sense of the word). There are plenty of servicemen with some level of disability from their service which would not necessarily entitle them to an "easy hunt". For example, diminished hearing is a pretty common disability that I wouldn't consider as disabled. I can see this one difficult to interpret both what constitutes disabled and what their limitations would entitle them to. Any feedback is appreciated.

I signed up for the race Friday morning- I wanted to make sure that doing the race wasn't going to cause problems with the rest of the family- workout plans, a party we had to go to later in the day, and so on. I don't really look forward to Olympic races because they are not really geared to my skill set. Comparing the distances, it's 75% of a half-ironman swim, with less than half the bike or run.
That's not to say that the distance isn't fair. There is no such thing as an 'unfair distance'. There are just distances and courses that favour one athlete over another, although I think some courses promote fairness on the course more than others.
After the meltdown I'd had in the water a week and an half ago, Margit didn't want me to go. But I was in the pool Monday through Thursday, amassing what for me was a titanic 7000 yards swimming. I also was getting in the runs and rides. This is my training time and that means training through a race like Health Net- I'd gotten back to back 50+ mile days on the bike going into the race as I get read for the Fairfield Marathon and the longer triathlons I know are in my future. I love having days off in June.
I got to the race early, found myself racked near another late entry (I assume), Peter Daly, who is in great shape and racing really well.
I was in the water early, a little after 6:30. It was cold, and I could smell something in it that promised a sinus infection later in the day, but I got really comfortable and was confident that I could easily take this swim on. I got out and back in a few more times as the race start neared, trying to stay warmed up, keep my googles from fogging, and so on.
At the same time, i was trying to think my way through the difference between warming up and racing in the water. The calm, placid, if slow work ethic when I swim alone is difficult to maintain in a race.
But as the women got in first and started, my pulse was down low, I felt good. We were counted into the water one at a time and were joking the way guys do right before a race. And then we were off, starting from a stand in waist deep water. I was surprised to find I only had to walk a few steps then I could start swimming and catching water. Great. No one was clawing their way over my back, hitting me.
All good.
Then about 250 yards into the swim, I started losing my happy thoughts. I did start getting jostled and the buoys were hard to see. I had to lift my head up to sight and I could see guys pulling away and...
That was it. My heart-rate shot up to about 175. I tried putting my head down and turning to breath every four strokes, but I didn't. I had to lift my head up to get any water and this leads to me choking on the water because I'm still trying to swim, because deep down inside me there's some part of me that just can't accept giving up, which is not a good thing. And then even that snapped and I had the thought that the side of the lake was right over there and I should just get out before I got hurt.
I hate moments like this. I hate writing about moments like this. But hey, it's what really happened.
But I'd already been through this drill. There's the first open water swim of the season, and there's the first race of the season, and they suck, but you get over it.
I put my head back in the water and took my normal strokes and turned my head on every fourth one and eventually, I started to breath again when I did it, because I had no choice. It probably lasted all of 30 seconds, but it easily cost me a minute in lost time before I really settled down and hit my 'stride'. Then I was around the far buoys and headed on the long swim across the river- there really needs to be some intermediate buoys...
My hands and feet got cold. I kept swimming. I swallowed a little water once on the way back to the middle buoy, but other than that it was unremarkable. I made the first of the two left-hand buoys on the course and then started for the last buoy.
That buoy was a very long way away. You can tell me the course is a GPSed .9 miles. I won't buy it. The course seems to have been about 1.1 miles long. After you turn at the last buoy it's just back to shore and there are people everyone. Again, I'd put an intermediate 'back' buoy in the water- the swim back was spread out like an ironman swim. there were people everywhere.
I crawled out of the drink at about 35 minutes, based on the clock reading '40 something'. I had an end rack, which was great, because I hate my wetsuit (or anyone else's, and that's happened) covering up my running shoes or food.
My transition was not great. I'm still learning how to get my new time trial helmet over my mellon, and socks. Are socks actually designed to go over your feet ? Yeah, I guess they are but maybe not wet feet in a hurry. But my feet were cold. I needed the socks.
Then I was off.
Despite the fact that my entire team did this race last year, I knew absolutely nothing about the course. This is where the intelligent me and the rock-headed athlete just don't interface- at all. I will actually go to a race I know nothing about, in fact, go to a race and not even know, except in general terms, what the distances are. Maybe that's why I like halves and ironmans. Not much guesswork. I had no idea how far I was riding, what the terrain was. I don't know the first thing about Shelton, or rather I didn't...
I did know the start of the bike course was a climb because I'd driven straight down into the park. I was not ready for the right -hand turn that- surprise, led to more climbing.
And more climbing.
Then you climb.
No, I'm serious. You just start this long, slow climb after climbing your ass up out of the park and don't get me wrong. I love to climb. I do. If you look in my 'suitcase' of skills, there are two things in it- climbing, and Elite bicycles putting me on a good bike. And I was passing people by the dozen, even though I had to admit early defeat to the course and shift into low gear. I used to think 'granny gear' meant the small chain ring, but it felt more like survival gear. I had my cadence up in the 80s, but I was only going 12 mph at one point.
There was a police officer at one intersection and he was all 'you're almost at the top'. Liar. But finally I did crest the first long escape from the park and got on a downhill and there was Coach Troy in my head, doing a greatest hit riff from Hillacious, the Uphill Grind, and the virtual rides. 'You have to maintain your intensity when you crest. Hammer, hammer. Other people are recovering. Get that cadence up over 100rpm...'
And I did, because I was attacking the downhill. I mean, the next uphill. And the next, and the next.
This went on for a while. You went screaming down a hill- I was going 42.5 mph and not pedaling down the first really big downhill because I was sure there was a turn at the bottom- and then you were going uphill at 15 mph again. This just went on and on. I mostly just passed people, however, I got passed, and repassed, and got passed again, and repassed again, one guy in my age group who definitely had my number on the downhills, and a couple of younger guys.
But for the most part I was passing and outworking people on the downhills, pedaling when other people weren't- I hit 45 mph.
Then we went over the dam and that was where I passed Gary. I was also in the sites of three guys that were riding me down, and they caught me right before the turn off 34 back towards Shelton. I didn't like being passed, especially by one or more guys I'd already passed, so I countered, moved up into second of the five behind a guy in tights- is that legal, when you can't see his age- and was about to overtake him when-
I misssed a turn. Instead of sending us over the bridge they sent us under it. As everyone went by I had to pull a u-turn in front of a municipal bus. Was there enough time ? I thought maybe...
Then I was chasing. I was mad at myself and these guys were kind of grouped. So I attacked. As we turned back onto what would be a steady climb I gave it everything I had and passed all of them and I was really flying- 22-23 mph up a hill. I gapped all but the guy in the tights, who must have been on a team, and he got to the park entrance before me and then out descended me.
I almost didn't dismount soon enough and was slow getting off the bike but finally that too was over and then it was all good. I slipped on my Zoots, grabbed my Cliff Shots and started running along the beach.
I was a little discouraged. No one was right in front of me, someone was right behind me. I took a shot and then drank from the bottle I was carrying- Heed.
Then it was up onto the road and before I knew it, I was at the one mile mark. And there was Peter Daly. I was at 1 mile. If he was coming back in at mile 5 then I was 25 minutes behind him. That was devastating. I mean, with the swim, he probably had 9-10 minutes on me, which meant I'd have had to have lost 15 minutes, or what took me an hour took him 45 minutes. The math didn't make any sense. I was either having a dud of a race or there were two loops on the run.
Don't get me wrong- Peter's a great guy. He's racing phenomenally well, but that big a gap would have really meant I was racing poorly. I redoubled my effort. Except we were climbing steep hills. I started to question myself as I reached the apex of the hills. Was I still really racing hard ? Was I giving 100%. I have nightmares where I'm running a race and going so slow that I'm walking up the hills, and I was flashing back to that.
Then I crested, heard my respiration, and started bolting down the backside, and no, I wasn't holding back.
The turn-around was blissfully close after that on the only short flat section of the run. Then I was headed back, looking for the leaders coming back at me. I saw Gary Rodebaug headed out on the first run as I headed back.
The run is a junk-buster in both directions, with a super-aggressive climb up to get to the downhill that was a heart-busting uphill. Finally, I reached three miles and there was Steve Surprise cheering us on. I'd seen race leaders coming back at me, so I'd relaxed a lot. I turned gingerly at the cone, no sense cramping, and headed back. I think I took another shot, drank more Heed. There was a woman and a guy in red I was chasing, but there were also first-lappers in the way now. Near the same paex, one guy in a race kit was walking and I wanted to say 'No walking, it's a 10K' but who knows what brought him to that point so I just said 'Keep it up'. I caught the guy in red and headed down the hill.
Taking the cones at the turn around I was excited, because I was still passing people in my age group and other people from my wave. I bumped one woman going over the railroad tracks and she gave me a lot of grief, but she took that turn/bend way too wide and I just brushed her. I struggled up the hill and then down the long run back towards the finish.
I was chasing one guy, which became clear after we got to the cones. I asked Steve where I was going and he said straight to the finish. I kept chasing this last person, thinking yes, I can knock off one more person. At 5.9 miles I made the pass and then I just opened it up and gave it what I had.
It was Martin Cappiello, who is just having awesome races. He never stopped pushing me, which allowed me to slot in 4 seconds ahead of a guy from the wave after me.
I found Rob Barker and we ran a twenty-five minute warm-down, I checked the results and headed home.
I managed to scratch out an age-group win, but was 19th among the individual finishers. It was a decent first race for me, but I know I can do a lot better.

The GOOD NEWS LATELY
A report of doings at meeting #21, April 5, 2009
including liturgical notes, major themes, and odds and ends
The Little Duck
Now we are ready to look
at something pretty special.
It is a duck riding the ocean
a hundred feet beyond the surf,
as he cuddles in the swells.
There is a big heaving in the Atlantic,
and he is part of it.
He can rest while the Atlantic heaves,
because he rests in the Atlantic.
Probably he doesn't know
how large the ocean is.
And neither do you.
But he realizes it.
And what does he do, I ask you?
He sits down in it.
He reposes in the immediate
as if it were infinity, which it is.
That is religion, and the duck has it.
How about you?
—-Donald C Babcock
Ann led off this discussion of SABBATH/REST by saying what comes up for her on the theme is the idea of hibernation, the way nature has written downtime into the design of life, like breathing. She also read Ed Young's 8 "take-times", Lily Tomlin's "timeless" quote, and some 6-wordies. For all these and her comments, see AFTERWORDS, below.
Nancy said Sabbath to her was any day committed for pause from the usual agenda-driven life—to recover, remember, reflect. Like monthly COS. And, rest: smaller islets of pause, time-out, again to reconnect. She gave some favorite examples, with an anecdote about Bubber the looking-dog, a Wendell Berry poem on finding rest in nature, the 6-line prayer, and Stella Resnick's Rx for little surrenders. See AW.
Sue read quotations from Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel that have been especially meaningful to her in Shabbat practice, and said she had learned much for her practice from Chris. She also spoke of the difficulty she's had finding the rest part in retirement, but vowed again to keep trying to cut back. For her quotes and personal notes, see AW.
Adair also used the word difficulty, feeling some with the Sabbath idea, which she said she'd had no real experience of growing up. But she gave us a vivid verbal picture of a Bubber-like scene she'd witnessed—3 golden retrievers sitting, heads turned the same direction, just looking. She also brought a show-and-tell: a big, beautiful book on Hebrew Illuminations.
Jack said each day's become Sabbath for him because of his pleasure in life, and he gazed around the room, calling each of us in this little sabbath gathering special in our way. He had his Spiritual Treasury at hand and Sue read from it a favorite and fitting prayer he had learned from his days at Quaker Powell House. This in AW.
Like Sue, Cynthia alluded to having a hard time finding rest in retirement, but also in even approaching the subject at this moment with her own personal space so shaken by the Binghamton killings, because of her sister's working next door to the scene. She said she was full of painful thoughts and questions about how to respond to our society's violence. We could only think of rest in terms of prayer. She later contributed a wonderful poem on rest by 19thc. thinker John S. Dwight. See AW.
Chris spoke of the Friday night Shabbat that is her practice, and recalled Sundays as a child—the special meals and Sunday drives, and later as wife to a minister, not enjoying the day. She too confessed to not enough "rest", and taking her job everywhere she goes. But she's really, really working on priorities! (like laundry.)
By the end of this meeting, we'd also realized that in addition to "rest", there are probably more good words beginning with "r" than any other letter. Here's just some of a rash of r-words that appeared in about 10 seconds: relief, release, respite, relaxation, remember, repose, respect, revive, rejuvenate, recover, refresh, restore, rejoice, replenish, regenerate, reflect, reverence….
We who have lost our sense and our senses—our touch, our smell, our vision of who we are,
we who frantically force and press all things, without rest for body or spirit,
hurting our earth and injuring ourselves:
we call a halt.
We want to rest. We need to rest and allow the earth to rest.
We need to reflect and to rediscover the mystery that lives in us,
that is the ground of every unique expression of life,
the source of the fascination that calls all things to communion.
We declare a Sabbath, a space of quiet:
for simply being and letting be,
for recovering the great, forgotten truths,

from Ann:
TAKE TIME for repose
it is the germ of creation
TAKE TIME to read
it is the foundation of wisdom
TAKE TIME to think
it is the source of strength
TAKE TIME to work
it is the path to patience and success
TAKE TIME to play
it is the secret of youth and constancy
TAKE TIME to be cheerful
it is the appreciation of life that brings happiness
TAKE TIME to share
it is in fellowship and sound relationships one finds meaning
TAKE TIME to rejoice
for joy is the music of the soul.
~Ed Young, an excerpt from an illustrated lecture on Chinese Characters delivered by Mr. Young upon acceptance of the 1990 Boston Globe-Horn Book Award for the picture book Lon Po Po: A Red-Riding Hood Story. Mr. Young keeps these eight points over his desk as he works.

Personal notes—
Animals adapt by 'sleeping' through the times when it would be hard to get food. By doing this, their bodies use less energy and their food lasts longer in their bodies. They wake up when they can get food again. Rest for the brain, time to sort out, sift through, organize to be able to continue looking for food for thought. Humans need the time out, hibernation, as does any animal, or plant for that matter – not sure about rocks.
Six Wordies—
Mind and body rested, tally ho!
Drift into the mind, enjoy, return.
It's a bath cleans me up.
It's a bath keeps me clean.
from Nancy:
…..I used to have a big dog named Bubber who was one of my most important teachers. He used to sit out on our deck up in the mountains and just look. It was difficult for me to imagine what he was looking at all the time, so one day I just went out and sat beside him and "looked". I sat with him for a long time and experienced just sitting and just looking. I learned to take time just to sit and look. One sees so much when one just sits and looks. Doing nothing else…just looking. …..not all of us can have Bubbers, but all of us can develop the skill to sit and look.
—–Anne Wilson Schaef
When despair for the world grows in me
and i wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
—–Wendell Berry
6-Line Prayer
Be still and know that I am God.
Be still and know that I am.
Be still and know.
Be still.
—–from Josh Baran, in his anthology, 365 Nirvana Here and Now
(6th line is Josh's favorite)
On Surrender:
During the course of each day, stop for a few minutes—Close your eyes, inhale deeply, all the way to the top of your chest, and blow the air out in a complete exhale, Imagine that you are also blowing out any tension or unpleasant feelings you've picked up along the way. Then rotate your head a few times, stretch your neck, your arms and back. Yawn and relax your jaw, and reconnect to your senses—scanning your environment slowly with your eyes, smelling the air, hearing distant sounds, feeling the objects that touch your skin, the tastes in your mouth. Practicing little moments of surrender makes big surrenders easier. As reistence and angst diminish, softness and trust grow, as so too grow feelings of love and tenderness…..
—–Gestalt therapist Stella Resnick
from Sue:
Quotations from The Sabbath by Abraham Joshua Heschel, Shambhala, 2003
- "labor is the means toward an end, and the Sabbath as a day of rest, as a day of abstaining from toil, in not for the purpose of recovering one's lost strength and becoming fit for the forthcoming labor. The Sabbath is a day for the sake of life…….The Sabbath is not for the sake of the weekdays; the weekdays are for the sake of Sabbath. It is not an interlude but the climax of living." p.2
- "Labor is a craft, but perfect rest is an art. It is the result of an accord of body, mind and imagination. To attain a degree of excellence in art, one must accept its discipine, one must abjure slothfulness." p.3
- "Labor without dignity is the cause of misery; rest without spirit the source of depravity." p.7
- "After the six days of creation—what did the universe still lack? Menuha. Came the Sabbath, came menuha, and the universe was complete." [Quoted as a Midrash by Rashi on Megillah 9a; on Genesis 2:2; Tosafot Sanhedrin 38a]
- "What was created on the seventh day? Tranquility, serenity, peace and repose." p. 13 [Genesis Rabba 10,9]
- "It is one thing to race or be driven by the vicissitudes that menace life, and another thing to stand still and to embrace the presence of an eternal moment." p. 19
- "Menuha, which we usually render with "rest," means here much more than withdrawal from labor and exertion, more than freedom from toil, strain or activity of any kind. Menuha is not a negative concept but something real and intrinsically positive. ……
"A pious man once took a stroll in his vineyard on the Sabbath. He saw a breach in the fence, and then determined to mend it when the Sabbath would be over. At the expiration of the Sabbath he decided: since the thought of repairing the fence occurred to me on the Sabbath, I shall never repair it."
~Alice Walker: "Anybody can observe the Sabbath, but making it holy surely takes the rest of the week." In Search of Our Mothers' Gardens
Personal Thoughts:
How grateful I am that it happens every week. What a reminder!! What a constancy.
My great grandfather Dov Baer Marshak (check Geni) arrived in this country in 1911 from Liverpool. In Liverpool he and his family boarded the ship on the Sabbath. This so upset him that on his arrival in Chicago (the end of his journey), he fasted for three days. Now that I make the Sabbath I think of him often, since I've returned to the practice of something he valued that his children and grandchildren left behind them.
How I began to keep the Sabbath; Christine helped me begin. It's often a challenging day. It's supposed to be a piece of paradise, perfect, and of course I'm always making judgments and picking out imperfections. I have meetings and other events scheduled that day because the dominant culture does not keep Saturday as the Sabbath. Taking a drive can be a mindful of imperfections–other people's driving, the weather, etc. Buddhist meditation practice is helpful to me in helping me keep to the present moment–to BE PRESENT.
from Jack:
O God, we thirst for Thee,
And at the same time we are immersed in
The sparkling water of Thy Presence.
Help us to be aware.
—–Prayer learned at Powell House in 1960's, author unknown
from Cynthia:
Being that April is poetry month and CoS topic for 04/05/09 was "rest", I went in search of a poem. I found several that focused on 'death' meaning 'rest' , which I did not choose! This one resonated in my mind as a complex, life-giving concept- which I like and completely accept:
Is not true leisure
one with true toil?
Rest is not quitting
the busy career-
Rest is the fitting
of self to its sphere.
'Tis the brook's motion,
clear without strife,
fleeing to the ocean
after its life.
——John Sullivan Dwight: [1813-1893]
– graduated at Harvard in 1832, at the Cambridge divinity school in 1835, and in 1840 was ordained pastor of the Unitarian Church in Northampton, Massachusetts.He soon left the ministry from sympathy with the socialistic ideas of the famous Brook Farm community, of which he was one of the founders, and where he lived for five years, teaching Latin, Greek, German, and music, and at the same time farming, cutting wood, cultivating trees, and engaging in other industries. He returned to Boston in 1848 and devoted himself to literature

We made a trip to the northern part of South Korea, Sokcho to be exact, and took in the sights of their second most visited national park, Seoraksan.
As you may have already noticed, you cannot go too far in Korea without running across a temple or two. There are many, but this must be one of the biggest Buddhas that we have seen yet.
We met a really fun Korean man by the name of Mr.Quo. He was a bundle of energy, and with fairly good English skills, he voluntarily came our tour guide for the afternoon. He had been to the park a number of times and was very eager to be our host, which included insistence to pay for meals, bus tickets, park fees, snacks, water, and anything else he thought we needed. We have been overwhelmed with generosity, and hospitality on a number of occasions as we tour throughout Korea. It has given us a some quality insight to the culture. Mr.Quo, took us in the direction of Ulsanbowie, a fantastic climb with which included hundreds of steel stairways meandering their way up the unsurpassable rock face.
The summit was a delight in one direction we could see deep into the park and in the other we could see the vast ocean.
I hope you don't grow tired of the pictures of the traditional temples, because as long as we are in Korea, I am guessing that they will keep coming.
The lanterns are all hung from the ceiling inside the temple. I believe that the tags, which flutter in the breeze, are prayers.
The great bell found at all temples.
Old roof tiles in a pile. You can "purchase" new ones at a nearby counter and write on them. They are then stored for replacements or new construction.
Taking a break to refer to the Lonely Planet, our trusty guide.
There is a cable car in the park. We have come to realize that it is a very popular fixture in many places around here.
There is a cable car in the park. We have come to realize that it is a very popular fixture in many places around here.
We couldn't pass...... up and up we went. At the top there was a coffee shop. Once again....couldn't pass.
We enjoyed a tasty lunch at the top. Homemade peanut butter and bread. Chels is quite the chief even in the outdoors.
A peek in the direction of the ocean.
Another hike took us to some nice falls.
The next day we took a bus to "Inner Seoraksan". Another portion of the park with phenomenal rock cairans.
We contributed to the multitude and built one of our own.
More hiking, more beauty. The trip was a great escape from the norm. Who can pass up an invitation to the great outdoors.

Home Sweet Home
Well folks, I am back in the good ol' U.S. of A. - got in last Monday morning and have been taking these past 2 weeks to transition back into this wonderful land of heating/air conditioning and drinking tap water - it's good to be back :)
The BIG news this week is my REAL, non-blog website is live! Thanks to Brad, we got www.elysegibson.com up and running. It's not quite finished yet; I still want to post a couple more campaigns and A LOT more content on the "Side Projects" page, but it's a miracle this thing exists. I've been trying to do this for over a year, and I am just happy to have committed to a direction. Yippee!!!!
In other more horrifying news, job hunting has officially begun and I am simultaneously excited and terrified. Reading and re-reading chapters in "Pick Me" has definitely started to freak me out a smidgen, but I am trying to stay positive. And not obsess. The not obsessing part is proving to be fairly challenging, though. The good news is that I know a few agencies are actually hiring - which is quite the change from just 4 short months ago. My friend Sitha just got a job at CP+B, so that is awesome for him!!! Yay for my friends being hired. Me next?
Some cool random things:
- Sweet iPhone app from Charmin called "SitorSquat" - what an awesome idea!
- Found this while researching AKQA. <3
- Scanwiches!!! Yummmmmm
- I feel like I may have seen this idea before - but regardless, sweet yoga business cards
- New Molskine website is totally ballerrrrrrr
- Havianas - favorite. brand. ever. (Sidenote: saw a whole Havianas display in Macy's at the mall yesterday and they want $25 for these flipflops!!!! WHAAAAAA??? In Brazil, they cost MAXIMUM $25R - which is about $10. Good thing I stocked up!!!)
Can the sun please come out now? I miss my ICED soy chais.

who is Abigail and why does she care?
in all seriousness though. the short answer is it depends. Briefly, if you are shooting any action or something where the subject is moving, then it won't make as much of a difference. If you are shooting more stationary objects in lower light, then it could make a difference.

Abigail was supposed to be " a big " trying to type on smart phones, doesn't make me look so smart!!!
I have kids so it would be a lot of kids and wildlife, maybe some landscapes!! I'm going to get either this lense or get a new 28-135mm f3.5-5.6 IS USM, which do you feel would be better for me.

I just sold the 70-200 f4/L (non IS) as I have figured out I must shake like a paint mixer. Like Hards80 stated, if you have enough light to keep the shutter speeds up it it one sharp lens. I purchased the 70-300 f/4-5.6 L IS USM to replace it. The IS alone was worth the upgrade for my use.
The 28-135 is a good everyday lens, pretty sharp stopped down but might be a bit short for wildlife IMO.

In film days I used a Tamron SP 70-210 lens, of course with no vibration compensation, and I had no trouble with OOF or blurry pictures. I just learned how to hold lens and camera properly. I have IS on my current long lens (100-400L), but I haven't noticed OOF pictures when (quite often) I have it turned off. Again, it's probably down to the discipline I learned years ago because at that time there was no option. My 24-105L also has IS but I really see no point in it.
Speaking strictly personally, I would happily buy a non-IS lens as for me it doesn't seem to make much difference.

I think it depends on how well you can hold the camera/lens steady at the longer end. I have the 24-70 which is non IS and with paying better attention, the photos can be tack sharp. On my 70-200 F4 IS, its always on and I find that as I'm not using a tripod and have it at the 200 focal length quite often the IS does come in handy for me....but I also am not steady with my hands at that length. So, it just really depends I think.
For me, with the longer lenses, I'd rather have the option of turning it on or off at my choosing than not.

Building collapses in Bhiwandi near Mumbai, one died, 20 feared trapped
Mumbai/Maharashtra, November 24: A three storied building in Bhiwandi collapsed on Friday morning leaving one dead and at least six others injured.
According to reports, the officials with the Thane Municipal Corporation said that the building collapse occurred at around 9:00 am on Friday on the Nayi Basti locality in Bhiwandi.
Such building collapse in #bhiwandi will continue to happen in future as well. More than half the town comprises of illegal immigrants, just erecting shanty structures on their own, wherever they want !!
— Sarcastology (@Sarcastologic) November 24, 2017
The fire brigade and civic officials reached the location in around half an hour and started rescue operations.
A portion of a three floor building collapses in #Maharashtra's Bhiwandi. 1 dead and 3 injured. Rescue teams at the spot. pic.twitter.com/XwuLcVLTkg
— ANI (@ANI) November 24, 2017
A senior civic official said that by around 10:00 am in the morning it was decided to call the National Disaster Response Force and two teams were organised.
Any time #Bhiwandi trends, 9/10 times it's either an accident or building collapse. Be it Mumbra or Bhiwandi, illegal immigrants have created mayhem giving rise to all sorts of civic problems. These dirty local politicians can rob off people's lives for few votes.

Till now, the rescue workers have pulled out one body and rescued six others from the debris and around 20 residents are still feared to be trapped inside.

Primary updates include: Link Devices, ability to unclaim a device, and Device Info.
Link Devices - If you have more than one Cube ( or Particle device) running Spark Pixels, you can link them together allowing you to control them at the same time. The commands are sent sequentially (not simultaneously) so expect a slight delay. Each device can be configured individually. i.e. Cube A can be configured to link Cubes A, B and C. And Cube B can be configured to only link B and C. So when Cube A is selected in the app, A, B and C can be controlled at the same time. But when B is selected, only B and C will be controlled. And when C is selected, it will only control itself. Make sense?? Good. Play around with it and you'll see what I mean.
Device Info - Get Device ID, IP Address, Local IP Address, WiFi Strength, Firmware Rev, Particle Build Version, Current Time on Device, etc. Customize what you want in the sketch. The app gives you the ability to copy each value to the clipboard of your Android device. This could be useful to get your local IP address when using @wmoecke's LISTNER mode. I don't have a Cube Viz coded for you to try out right away, so you'll have to follow my instructions to add it to your sketch yourself.
As of my Spark Pixels v4 sketch, the cube already advertises its own IP address through the DEBUG cloud variable, whenever the LISTENER mode is selected (either from the phone app or the web app). After selecting the LISTENER mode, users can view the cube's IP address by going to the Particle Cloud Panel (in Spark Pixels Android app), scrolling down to the "Particle Variable" section, selecting "debug" from the dropdown and tapping "Get Variable".
In the web version of Spark Pixels (available here) the cube's IP address gets printed out on the screen whenever the LISTENER mode is selected from the dropdown list. Example below:

Saturday was a rainy, rainy day. When we woke up that morning the mountains outside has disappeared in the thick clouds and the rains began early. Shannon, Jennifer and myself had tattoo appointments at 1 pm in Pigeon Forge. Shannon and I had come up with a design for our group and I had early on joked about us all getting a tattoo while we were together, and once we made a design up which we got on t-shirts and hoodies, a few of us decided that we really wanted to cement the deal and I began searching for a tattoo studio. We ended up at Southern Draw. I had spoken via email several times with Rhonda, who owns the studio, and she loved out design and it's meaning so she was super excited that we decided to share this day with them.
We arrived a little before our appointment time and did all the appropriate paperwork needed. I couldn't get over how beautiful and clean the studio was, so I was very glad we chose the place we did. Rhonda showed up not long after we got there. Her daughter was to do Jennifer's tattoo, an artist named Bush was to do Shannon's because she was adding some sunset colors behind hers, and Rhonda was doing mine.

"Let the dad do it. You know, bonding and stuff."
I looked up at her and nodded—tiny pink mitten in one hand, the baby's left arm in the other.
"Right, right. Sure. Okay, baby. Bye-bye, baby."
I turned around slowly, motioning silently for the dad to come over. He was still at the side of the delivery table, clutching his wife's hand. He looked unsure. I would be unsure too. After all, this was a real, living, breathing baby. Technically their third, but the only one alive. A sudden death at age 2; a miscarriage; and today. Today was going to be different. Today, they were going to start doing everything right: exclusive breastfeeding, immunizations, regular checkups.
She was so beautiful. Her big, watery eyes shined up at us like stars. The midwife had instructed me to dress the baby instead.
I fussed around with the baby's clothes. I buttoned up her blouse wrong; it took forever to get the chloramphenicol dabbed into her eyes; one of her booties kept falling off. But still, somehow, she was remarkably peaceful the entire time. Grasping at my fingers with a strong, healthy grip; cooing softly at me from beneath the incubator. She was only minutes old, too. Minutes.
We were both washing our hands thoroughly at the sink. The blood that had splashed onto the floor during the mother's afterbirth had been mopped up, and the midwives were cleaning the rest of the room. This was my third delivery, but she had seen at least five. And we had both witnessed twins—premature, fragile, heart-breaking twins. One of hers had lived though, fighting for life, stubbornly gaining 25g each day. So she too remained stubborn, monitoring the baby and the mother all day and night. She slept at the clinic more than she did at home. She would be a fantastic doctor one day.
"Look at the dad," she said. She poked me lightly in the ribs. The midwives had instructed the father to wash his hands, then finally let him approach the incubator. He was standing there silently, beaming from ear to ear. The joy was infectious.
"He's so damn happy right now," she giggled. "He's just so, so happy."

The Enigma of Spring(2016)
A novel by João Almino
Majnun lives his life online in his grandparents' well-appointed home in the Brazilian capital. No school, no work--just bored in Brasilia. After falling in love with a married woman, however, he flees to Madrid with friends, intent on, well . . . something. Writing a historical novel about medieval Spain? Or perhaps converting to Islam and heading to North Africa? As Majnun floats through the crowds of Catholics, through encounters with legitimate medievalists, through romances, friendships, mosques, and palaces, his vague interests threaten to boil over into violent, even deadly action.

This recipe is most complicated one that I'm going to do. It's for flæskesteg — pronounced 'fleskesty', which is roast pork. Danes love pork. There are pig farms all over Denmark and you will find a pork dish at nearly every big Danish dinner.
Because flæskesteg on its own might not be especially Danish, I'm going to tell you how to make some side dishes to go with it, then you can have flæskesteg like you would in Denmark.
So with this flæskesteg I'm going to tell you how to make brunede kartofler (browned potatoes) and rødkål (braised red cabbage).
For the flæskesteg
A pork loin joint
1 tbsp salt
Some water
Some bay leaves
For brunede kartofler
1 kg small potatoes
100g butter
3 dessert spoons sugar
For the rødkål
1kg chopped red cabbage
25g butter
200ml red wine
2 tbsp sugar
200ml white vinegar
1 tsp salt
Cut the rind of the pork deeply so there are lines in it that go through the fat but not into the meat.
Rub the fat with water and then rub it with salt. Put a few bay leaves into the cuts in the rind.
Put the meat in a baking tin and half fill with water so the water covers some of the meat but does not touch the rind. Cook at 180 degrees c for 2 hours.
When it is cooked, let it rest for about 10 minutes before carving.
While you are waiting, you could always steal a bit of the crackling to munch on.
Brunede kartofler
Peel and boil the potatoes and drain them off.
With the sugar, cover the base of a frying pan and cook until the sugar turns to caramel.
Add the butter and stir them together.
Now add the boiled potatoes to the mix, coating them in the sugary butter and cook until golden brown.
Chop the cabbage finely.
Now melt the butter in a pan.
And stir-fry the cabbage.
When it is sizzling add the vinegar and cook until it simmers.
Add the wine.
Also add the sugar and salt then put the lid on and cook on a low heat for one hour.
Serve it all up together with a little brown gravy.
Tip: If you have left over pork and cabbage, these can be eaten cold on a slice of rye bread as an open sandwich just like you would find in Denmark.
I hope you enjoy your feast. Ours was yummy.
