Description of the book "The Education of a Christian Prince":The Education of a Christian Prince is a new student edition of Erasmus's crucial treatise on political theory. It contains a new, excerpted translation from his Panegyric, making it possible for the first time to compare two works which Erasmus himself regarded as closely related. The Education of a Christian Prince was published in 1516 and dedicated to Prince Charles, the future Emperor Charles V, and is one of the most influential books of the 'advice-to-princes' published in the Renaissance era. It is a strongly pacifist work in which Erasmus sought to ensure that the prince governed justly and benevolently PDF. The importance of Erasmus's work lies in his emphasis on virtuous conduct as the backbone of the polity, an argument which has influenced political writing up to the present time. This edition also includes an original introduction, a chronology of the life and work of Erasmus, and a comprehensive guide to further reading.

Shared intentionality, sometimes called 'we' intentionality, refers to collaborative interactions in which participants share psychological states with one another (Gilbert, 1989; Searle, 1995; Tuomela, 1995). The term also implies that the collaborators' psychological processes are jointly directed at something and take place within a joint attentional frame (Hurford 2007: 320, Tomasello et al. 2005).
Pet lovers will be, and for obvious reasons, in opposition to this theory, as it also suggests that though animals are smart enough to perform many tasks, they are unable to collaborate within a joint attentional frame.
Please see the following link: Dogs communicating that their intentions are not aggression but play – a form of metacommunication.
In the study of the mental capacities of animals, research has examined animal cognition in mammals (especially primates, cetaceans, elephants, dogs, cats, horses, raccoons and rodents), birds (including parrots, corvids and pigeons), reptiles (lizards and snakes), fish and invertebrates (including cephalopods, spiders and insects).
The behavior of non-human animals has captivated human imagination from antiquity, and over the centuries many writers have speculated about the animal mind, or its absence, as Descartes would have it. Speculation about animal intelligence gradually yielded to scientific study after Darwin placed humans and animals on a continuum, although Darwin's largely anecdotal approach to the topic would not pass scientific muster later on".
Many would readily challenge the concept of shared intentionality, whether or not they're animal lovers or pay that close attention to what animals do or how they communicate, but it is important to understand how Tomasello and others came to their conclusion that to be a part of the shared intentional club you must be human.
We understood, from our last class, that Tomasello did many tests/research to come to his conclusion and did welcome feedback from credible researchers, but many in our class applied practicality and our knowledge of the world around us, to ensue a somewhat credible discussion. There're some obvious questions to ask about Tomasello's proposal, namely: are we the only ones capable of knowingly work together to achieve a set goal? Are we able/capable of understanding the intentions of other animals or their shared intentions without triggering or manipulating their environment?
According to one of Tomasello's experiment "At 14 months of age for example, human children are able to successfully pass an object-choice task. In this task, children are presented with two upside-down buckets, one of which contains a toy, and the experimenter points toward the bucket where the toy is hidden. The child then turns to the right bucket and retrieves the toy. Although this task may appear simple, it is remarkable that chimpanzees fail it. In contrast to children, they fail to see the pointing gesture as a relevant cooperative signal within a shared attentional frame. Instead chimpanzees seem to think something along the lines of: "'A bucket. So what? Now where's the food?' They do not understand that the pointing is intended to be 'relevant' to the searching as a shared activity (see Sperber & Wilson, 1986)" (Tomasello & Carpenter 2007: 122)".
I like many of you, questioned whether or not the methods used to retrieve data in the above experiment produced accurate results. It's well-established that living in unchanging, inescapable environments induces boredom in humans, including prisoners who report that they are highly motivated to seek stimulation. "But we cannot rely on verbal self-reports from non-humans, so motivation to obtain general stimulation must form the basis of any objective measure of boredom in animals," said Prof. Georgia Mason, who holds the Canada Research Chair in animal welfare in Guelph's Department of Animal and Poultry Science.
Can we then assume that the environment in which these animals are kept/ researched is not their natural environment and hence would influence the results of Tomasello's experiment? I believe many would agree with me if I recommend that either both subjects be placed in their natural environment or both in their unnatural environment, this, I believe, would provide a definitive explanation for their results.
I'm not advocating for or against the results of Tomasello's theory, as I'm in no position to determine whether or not the results would change if the subjects were placed in their natural environment, but would like to know the "what if". Is it really safe to say that animals cannot intentionally help one another, or work with each other to accomplish a set goal.

I know some people are Apple fanatics and others don't have the time of day for Apple products but there's no denying that Steve has created something unique and special. I hope Steve is able to take time to get better and wish him all the best.No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

Steve Jobs resigns as Apple CEO
All over the news and tech blogs this morning is the news that Steve Jobs has resigned as Apple CEO. To be honest this isn't unexpected as he's been suffering with Cancer for a while now but it's still sad. The company is in safe hands with Tim Cook as the new CEO but it's still a great loss for Apple and the greater tech community in general. I just read Steve's 2006 Stanford commencement address again and one passage struck a chord with me about the futility of life and speaks volumes about Steve's approach to running Apple as a company and to his own life:

It was a great weekend. Unfortunately, that meant only 1 post for the weekend instead of 3. I don't have anything of major importance today, but there are definitely some smaller stories.
"The Chicago Public Schools system, in coordination with Chicago Department of Public Health and Illinois Caucus of Adolescent Health, has created an online and interactive sex education resource for students, SexEdLoop.com."
Chicago Public School's Education Facilities: Task Force Findings & Recommendations
Quoting this lacks impact because the best information is in charts. However, it clearly shows that top schools have 200 square feet per student, while CPS uses a formula of 96 square feet for children.
CPS Adds Hurdles to Making Public Comment at Board Meetings
"This new process alienates most people," said Katelyn Johnson, executive director of the community organization Action Now. "The board meetings were already ridiculously inaccessible, with people sometimes having to sleep over in order to get a chance to speak. This is on top of the fact that they are held downtown during hours when most people are at work. Having online registration adds another hoop to jump through, creating more distance between the already out-of-touch board and the community, parents and students."

Published in The Fiji Times on Thursday December 10, 2009.
Last week I had the pleasure of being a judge at the Responsible Fatherhood Photography Competition which is part of Fathers and Daughters – Together in Development project of the Foundation of Peoples of the South Pacific International (FSPI). Displayed at the Fiji Centre for the Arts (the home of the Fiji Arts Council) on Waimanu Road, an awesome place, the exhibition consisted of professional and amateur photographs of fathers and daughters interacting. Photographs focused on Committed and responsible fatherhood and care-giving towards daughters, portraying active fatherhood by being positive mentors and inspiring daughters to greater life achievements with the view to demand greater accountability from other fathers to carry out their roles responsibly and ethically.
In the lead up to today's 61st Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the culmination of the 16 Days of Activism Against Violence Against Women and with crimes against the girl-child recently coming to the fore in the media, this competition and exhibition addressed the role of fathers in the nurturing and development of their daughters.
As parents to both a boy and a girl, my wife Maelin and I often share with each other our hopes and fears regarding bringing up little children. To be honest, I struggled to contain my outrage when I heard of little Sadikuini Yalewavukivuki being murdered by her father in a ritualistic sacrifice to "save his district spiritually", the murder four-year-old Mereseini Burelevu in Beqa and the sexual abuse and murder of toddler Unise Tareguci. Then there are the cases of forced marriages of under-aged girls.
I recently came across a 2006 report for UNICEF on the Elimination of all forms of discrimination and violence against the girl child. The report, compiled Ms. Shamima Ali of the Fiji Women's Crisis Centre, focused on Violence against the girl child in the Pacific Islands region. The report highlighted that as a consequence of vulnerabilities of the girl child to violence, there were high numbers of girl children engaged in child labour, higher health-risks for the girl child, low self-esteem and psychological damage among girls, higher risk of sexual abuse among girls, and higher rates of commercial sexual exploitation of girls. The vulnerabilities include gender inequality in socialization; discriminatory application of "custom"; early and forced marriage; and social change and poverty.
At nearly four years old, my little Antonia is a princess in her own world. She loves to dress up and do all the "girly" things. Her favourite colour is pink. But she will inherit a legacy from her grandmother, mother and aunts of strong women who advocate gender equality as an essential expression of human dignity. She wants to be a ballerina but insisted that daddy make her a Wonder Woman costume for the Library Week character parade this year. It is a constant struggle to maintain a balance between nurturing this fiercely independent soul; encouraging to enjoy her femininity while at the same time trying to ensure that I do not enforce stereotypical attitudes of women; that I am not an overbearing father who cages his daughter while at the same time wanting to protect her from the violence in this world.
According to UNICEF, "Emotional abuse is an extremely prevalent form of child maltreatment."
Violence permeates all levels of society and is not limited to physical violence. Mahatma Gandhi said, "Mental violence has no potency and injures only the person whose thoughts are violent. It is otherwise with mental non-violence. It has potency which the world does not yet know."
Next year, 2010, will be the final year of the Decade to Overcome Violence, the World Council of Churches initiative to call all the world's people to engage in violence prevention, the pursuit of justice and peacemaking. The Ecumenical Declaration on Just Peace will be one of the culminating points of the Decade to Overcome Violence (DOV) by the end of 2010.It will be International Ecumenical Peace Convocation in Kingston, Jamaica in 2011.
In 2008 the DOV initiative focused on the Pacific region. According to World Health Organisation statistics, injuries and violence cause an estimated 1.2 million deaths annually, or nearly 3300 deaths every day, with suicides, traffic accidents and drowning accounting for the majority of cases. The top five causes of injury deaths in the Region in 2000 were self-inflicted injury or suicide (approximately 318 000 deaths per year), road traffic accidents (292 000), drowning (137 000), falls (109 000) and poisoning (73 000). Over 93% of injuries in the Western Pacific Region occur in low-and middle-income countries, involving the 5-44 year age group in particular. Violence against women is often committed by husbands or intimate male partners. Physical violence in intimate relationships is often accompanied by psychological abuse. One third to over one half of cases of physical violence are accompanied by sexual abuse. Drink-driving and domestic violence related to alcohol consumption is a growing problem. Suicide is believed to be a hidden problem (undocumented).
The following prayer, titled Atua of Peace was written by M. Aunoa of American Samoa as a contribution to Decade of Violence focus on the Pacific:
Atua of peace, allow us to drink from the tanoa of Your peace, Right the course of our canoes to overcome the currents of violence, hatred, war, abuse, Give us peace of being at rest, so that peace prevails over any wind that gusts through our islands,Tattoo in our hearts Your righteousness and purity,Through all cultures and walks of life, we pray as instruments of Peace and as the people of Pasifika.
"The violence done us by others is often less painful than that which we do to ourselves," wroteFrançois de la Rochefoucauld.
May the rest of your week be blessed with the love, light and peace of the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ.

I pose a question to the world (at least in the web) - is there a patron saint for the accident prone? Is there a special prayer I should pray to keep myself, and my father's car, from harm?
I was sitting in World Topps Katipunan waiting for my friends when one of them called me up on my cellphone. She asked me to go to the parking lot because my car figured in an accident. What she was saying did not register on me, I told her that I parked my car already and that I was inside the restaurant. She calmly said that the poor innocent car got hit by someone's pickup truck as they were trying to park in that tiny parking lot.
That was my fourth car accident in a little over a year. The first was not my fault. A reckless driver hit the back of an owner-type jeep, causing it to topple over and land on the hood of my car, at the opposite lane of the flyover. Since it was raining and I was driving at 60kph while ascending the flyover, my car cushioned the flight of the owner jeep. Several brothers and my blood brother came to my rescue. In the end, I made that reckless driver pay me and the driver of the jeep in cold cash for all the damages sustained. Afterwards, I asked my father confessor to bless the car and to bless my driving. My car troubles did not end there.
The second accident was my fault. I wrote about it somewhere in this blog, archived on April 2004. My attitude upon getting out of the car was immediately to apologize to the family whose car I accidentally bumped into while I was reading a text message containing bad news. I admitted outright that I was driving while texting. Maybe I did that because my father confessor and Lingkod brothers and sisters were my passengers at that time. Or maybe I had gotten the hang of accident rules - how the guilty party should behave, how the aggrieved party should demand.
After these twin accidents, my friends from all over started calling me whenever they or their wives or boyfriends met car accidents. I became the authority on car insurance, police reports, affidavits, etc. Around this time my love story with the MMDA started too, but that's another sharing altogether. They loved to accost me and charge me with various offenses. Up to now I still can't recover from the series of encounters I had with their kind.
The third accident happened while I was riding my friend's car. As she was panicking, I calmly wrote down a statement which I made the other driver sign, admitting all liability on his part. I used my camera phone to take the necessary pictures. This was something I did not want to be an expert on, believe me, but I found myself knowing what to do and not needing help anymore, but being the one to extend help.
The latest accident which occurred a few hours ago irritated me because the kid (and I say this with the implied admission that teenagers now call me Ma'am and sometimes, like in this case, I think they should) who was driving a large pickup truck did not know how to respond to the situation. I heard no apology. He was trying to deny that he hit my car when I had around ten (10!) Lingkod brothers and sisters who witnessed the accident. They said to each other, "Patay ka, si Ella nabangga mo, sanay iyan."
The kid told me to move my car so we could see the damage. I told him to say "please". We inspected the damage. The kid, his friend, me, and the 10 Lingkod brothers and sisters. It was dark and my flashlight was running out of battery. I could not believe what was happening, so I told him I would get in touch with him the next morning after I inspect the damage further. Before leaving, however, I gave him a piece of my mind about his attitude. I told him that a driver who is at fault should take full responsibility. I told him he did not need to raise his voice at me. I told him that his demeanor so far showed no way to treat a lady. I sounded like a grandmother! But I so wanted to teach him a lesson. He looked like he could afford to pay the damages, if any. I did not want him to just pay and forget about it. In the end, he apologized profusely. Then we both entered World Topps.
Although I know that each accident brings lessons to all parties concerned, still I wish that my lessons would not damage the poor car. I cannot afford to buy a new car. I think the right front tire may have been misaligned. The bumper and side were scratched. What would my insurance agent say? That I'm accident-prone?
They say you are how you drive. I admit to having literally tripped and fallen all my life, but this applies only if I were driving. Now if the car was just parked there, innocently waiting for me to come back, why does it have to get hurt?
I know I need to pray about this. As my spiritual directress would ask, "What is the Lord telling you in this situation, Ella?" I have the answer, as always! And the answer is, "I have no idea".

Over the last 2 years we've been slowly reclaiming our land from the weeds, one small patch at a time. It's not really the clearing that is the problem but, because everything grows so fast here in the rainy season, it is the ongoing maintenance that becomes a hassle.
We could hire someone to keep it neat but its a good work-out for me and being a control freak I much prefer to do things myself if possible! 🙂 Miri also normally does her fair share, although recently she's not been able to help with the weed whacking as we didn't want her to aggravate her thumb problem.
Anyway, recently I finished clearing the last patch of weeds/vines/shrubs from the area behind the house that we've decided will be the extent of our back yard…
Before and after the final clearing
My guess is we've got just over half our land now under "active maintenance" and the rest is our contribution to conserving the natural habitat!
Despite leaving the bottom part of the land wild we did want to be able to make use of it, so I cut a circular path through the jungle; going from the house, down the right hand side, across the bottom (through our own little wood) and then up the left hand side…
During the path clearing I came across some interesting plants including a large citrus tree that was fruiting..
Miri plans to walk this path for exercise on days she doesn't go to the gym. We've tried it out and boy those slopes are killers. A lap takes about 5 mins at a steady pace, so a few of those will be a good workout.
The bottom is full of mature trees, so it is beautiful and shady under the canopy. We plan to plant gingers, haleconias and other cool plants down there in spots along the path to add some colour and interest.

This is a story about a modern day treasure that was found recently by a friend of mine and fellow treasure hunter. For this article I will call him "the sentinel" because he is a security minded individual and likes to spend his time watching the beaches near his home for things that look out of place. You know, things like bikinis that are too small!
The Sentinel owns some rental property in one of the best places in the world, Hawaii. Honolulu, Hawaii to be exact. Book 'em Danno! Sorry, I couldn't help myself.
Anyway, several years ago a retired couple by the name of Doris and Henry Schnetz moved in to one of the Sentinel's rental properties. They lived there for about two years before moving to a larger home where they were taken care of by Dan Dutko and Lindsay Roberson.
When the Schnetz's moved out of the rental property they left behind a safe. It was locked and required a combination and key to get into. The safe was moved to the home of my friend so that it would be safe until the Schnetz's returned for it. Unfortunately, both of the elder Schnetz's passed on and they never came back for the safe. Being the busy man that the sentinel is (there are lots of bikinis to watch on those beaches) the safe sat at his home for over six years. The sentinel would occasionally wonder what might be in the safe, usually right after he tripped over it because he forgot it was there.
Curiosity, and apparently the lack of bikinis on the beach finally got the best of him so he decided to see if there was anything in the safe. He contacted the manufacturer of the safe and supplied them with all of the proper documentation and was rewarded with a combination and key. Upon opening the safe he found a list of items that should be in the safe along with almost all of the items on the list.
The items found in the safe included Masonic rings, as Mr. Schnetz was a Master Mason, Diamond encrusted Masonic Pins, a gold watch he received when retiring from a pharmacy he owned on Oahu, and a 92 Bush/Quayle lapel pin. Besides these items there were also several gold, silver, pearl and diamond rings, pendants, broaches, cuff links, bracelets, watches, tuxedo buttons and earrings. There were also several military ribbons that Mr. Schnetz had earned while serving his country.
That's quite a haul for any treasure hunter to find, especially for never leaving your home!
Now you would think that is where this story would end but you would be wrong. The sentinel is trying to locate the rightful heirs to these items and is asking for your help so that the items can be returned to the family. The Schnetz's went to live and be cared for by Lindsay Roberson and Dan Dutko in Honolulu, Hawaii. It appears that the Schnetz's had a son and we are in the process of trying to find him.
If there is anyone out there that might know Lindsay Roberson, Dan Dutko or someone directly related to Doris and Henry Schnetz of Honolulu, HI then we would ask that you contact us and let us know. You can e-mail me directly at email@example.com or you can get in touch with James through is e-mail listed at the top of the blog and we will forward the information on to the sentinel.
Hopefully by the time some of you read this we will have already found the heirs to this treasure but don't let that stop you from contacting us. You never know when a trail will dead end and more information is always better than less.
My friend would like to say; Mahalo! (Hawaiian for thank you!) for any help you can provide.

Westfield extension is on the back-burner! ... Will need a new plan if Westfield doesn't proceed
Which also confirms the demolition will not extend beyond platform 3/16 at this stage.
YES!!! What about Plat 1, 2, 17 and 18?
Work on installing the Exceloo appears to be under way (at the Bowes St/Bowes Pl intersection).
Woden Bus Station Refurbishment - Changes to Bus OperationsACTION passengers travelling through the Woden Bus Station will note the closure of platforms and changes to service departure locations from Monday 30 November. This is to accommodate for construction work as part of the Woden Bus Station refurbishment project.Changes from Monday 30 November include:Platforms 1, 2 and 3 will be closed for the duration of the works.Platform 4 will used for AM school services 416, 844 and 863 only and will become set down only for all other times.The Route 1 northbound will now depart from Platform 10 in an effort to reduce congestion through the bus station.Platform 18 will now be used for Routes 26, 27, 80, 88, 732 and 749 on weekday and 926 and 927 on weekends.Q-City/Transborder services will now use the new Platform 19.You can view the updated Woden Bus Station Map or read more about the Woden Bus Station refurbishment on the ACT Government website.
- overhead structure will remain to back of platform 3- Development Application is solely for the "snakepit area" - no mention of whether the steps near platform 4/5 will be removed or fenced off
Any reports on whether / when the Woden (Churches) Centre will modify its layout? Based on what's currently there, access from the rear fire exit will be blocked by the fencing.
Looking again at the plans (above), there won't be any further demolition east of the old control room / kiosk.
No ramp though which is kind of a pain, esp for cyclists like myself - although I thought I saw a ramp in the prediction mural,
I can't do so without being rude.
There's a bicycle rail and ramp up the middle on both sides.
You may as well, esp for how rude you've been to me since I joined a year or 2, or however long it's been, ago.

Silver Screen: The Score Card, March 6, 2014 Edition
> opening this week in Carbondale (Friday unless otherwise noted).
< leaving Carbondale this Friday.
Bryan Miller unless otherwise credited.
< About Last Night (R, ***1/2): This remake of the significantly bastardized adaptation of the David Mamet play Sexual Perversity in Chicago keeps some of the perversity, which feels a little tame by now, and shifts the action to Los Angeles with an African American cast. There are no racial politics at play here, though, just the familiar men-versus-women rom-com dynamic, but a decent script and director Steve Pink's generic but passably romantic aesthetic are buoyed by an especially talented, attractive cast. Kevin Hart is the movie's comic engine as Bernie, a fast-talking charmer whose girlfriend Joan (Regina Hall) sets up his best friend Danny (Michael Ealy) with her straightlaced roommate Debbie (Joy Bryant). The two hit it off, but their seemingly stable relationship might not be as tenable as the volatile union between their passionate but quick-tempered friends. Hart is hilarious and hyperkinetic as always, and Hall does an excellent job of keeping up with him— she's all eye rolls and attitude. Ealy and Bryant manage not to have every scene stolen by their powerful costars, thanks in part because they're astonishingly good looking. Ealy also makes for a fantastic straight man, grounding Hart but also deft with comic timing. Hollywood doesn't make straightforward romantic comedies for grownups like this too often anymore, but the strong cast makes an argument that maybe it should— as long as they're at least this good.
< American Hustle (R, ****1/2): The opening disclaimer says it all: "Some of this actually happened." Director and cowriter David O. Russell intertwines details about the real-life Abscam sting with his fictionalized ensemble of incredible characters for this hysterically funny and near perfectly executed tale of cops, crooks, mobsters, and one flimflam man's ability to bilk them all. Christian Bale is fantastic as Irving Rosenfeld, a small-time scammer who hooks up with bunco babe Sydney Prosser (Amy Adams) for bigger scores. When they're busted by an ambitious FBI agent (Bradley Cooper), however, they're forced to help the Feds hatch an elaborate plot to catch corrupt politicians. This may be a case of style over substance, but that style is substantial. The production design is incredible, from the sets to the costumes. Plus it has a killer soundtrack and the year's best ensemble cast, which includes Jeremy Renner, Louis C.K., Robert De Niro, and a never-better Jennifer Lawrence. Rarely are prestige movies this much fun, and even more rarely does a movie so thoroughly entertaining come with such a high pedigree.
The Lego Movie (PG, ***): Cowriters and -directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller inject a significant amount of cleverness into this crass, computer-animated cash-in about an ordinary Lego Joe (Chris Pratt) who discovers he's the chosen one who must stop the evil President Business (Will Ferrell) from using a super-weapon that will glue the entire universe together. Lord and Miller's stroke of semi-genius is to model the plot after the different ways kids play with Legos, some rigidly sticking to the instructions while others mix and match pieces into their own creations. This idea reaches full fruition in the movie's big meta-gag, which plays like a kiddie-movie version of a Charlie Kaufman twist. For all their inventiveness and lip service to creativity, they've done little more than inject a bit of ingenuity into a corporate property cross-promoted to tie into other corporate properties, including Batman, Superman, Gandalf, and Han Solo. It's a series of tiny commercials built into a one-hundred-minute-long Lego commercial. The filmmakers laud visionaries who build new and unexpected things, but all the pieces they're playing with are not just familiar, they're trademarked. In 2D and 3D.
< Lone Survivor (R, ***): Director Peter Berg adapts Marcus Luttrell's book about his harrowing real-life experience caught behind enemy lines with a team of Navy SEALs. The title of Luttrell's book pretty much tells you what's going to happen: Star Mark Wahlberg is going to make it, but his buddies (including Ben Foster, Taylor Kitsch, and Emile Hirsch) won't be so lucky. Knowing the ending doesn't alleviate the tension but rather enhances it and casts a foreboding shadow across the early scenes. The whole middle of the movie is a breathless, sharply staged firefight set in the mountains of Afghanistan. Berg is adept with action— a little too adept, as he adopts a first-person-shooter perspective that mimics a videogame aesthetic, turning this true-life tragedy into something like a particularly grim Call of Duty mission. Berg's tendency toward military fetishism and modern-day Rambo superheroics hampers the movie's credibility even as it evolves during its final act— complete with a fictional firefight to adhere to narrative convention— a little more thoughtful than the earlygoing leads viewers to expect. The result is a good movie about a battle instead of what could have been a great movie about the men who fought it.
The Monuments Men (PG-13, ***1/2): George Clooney's relatively light but still rich drama is an old-fashioned war picture, clearly on the other side of the Maginot Line of Saving Private Ryan's blood-and-bone visceral horrors. But despite having an Old Hollywood sheen, it's not anachronistic, even if it does get a bit sentimental. Clooney's Frank Stokes leads an international platoon of art historians and museum curators (including Bill Murray, Matt Damon, John Goodman, Jean Dujardin, Hugh Bonneville, and Bob Balaban) on a mission into Germany at the tail of end World War II to retrieve all the art stolen by Hitler before the Nazis destroy it. Clooney, who cowrote the script with partner Grant Heslov, based on the popular book by Robert Edsel, makes an impassioned case for the importance of art and cultural preservation, and he does it without coming off like a self-important blowhard. The incredible ensemble adds significant depth to the film, especially Murray and Balaban, whose scenes as rivals in the art world turned unlikely Army buddies are hilarious but also strikingly poignant. Structurally, the movie is a bit of a mess, as Clooney and Heslov struggle to find a clear narrative in the story. That results in more than a few tangents, including a long, mostly unnecessary stretch featuring Cate Blanchett as a French museum employee working for the resistance against the Nazis. But a little extra Cate Blanchett isn't such a bad thing, and even if the film doesn't always hold together, from scene to scene it's a pleasure.
< Nebraska (R, ****1/2): Alexander Payne (The Descendants, Election) directs this understated but tremendously affecting dramedy about an aging alcoholic (Bruce Dern) convinced a junk-mail scam is actually a million-dollar sweepstakes winner. Though he knows it to be a hoax, dedicated son David (Saturday Night Live's Will Forte, in a fine dramatic turn) agrees to drive the old man from Montana to Nebraska to claim the prize. Along the way they reunite with relatives, and David learns the secret past his repressed parents kept from him all these years. Payne's latest is meditatively paced and shot in black and white, but it's no test of patience. The movie is propelled forward with gentle good humor that often belies subtle but significant insights. An excellent supporting cast that includes SIU alum Bob Odenkirk as David's self-obsessed small-town news-anchor brother, June Squibb as their short-tempered mother, Stacy Keach as a boozy blowhard, and a host of honest-to-goodness Nebraska folk help make this one of 2013's most unpretentiously artful, relatable, winning films.
Non-Stop (PG-13, ***1/2): In his latest Geriaction movie, Liam Neeson stars as a troubled Air Marshal receiving mysterious text messages during a transatlantic flight. The killer threatens to bump off someone on the plane every twenty minutes unless he receives $150 million wired into a bank account. But as the evidence mounts, Neeson's off-the-rails Marshal becomes a suspect in the hijacking, which takes a wild turn when a group of rogue passengers try to secure the plane. This thriller by Jaume Collet-Serra is both a compelling mystery and an above-average action flick. It's a smartly constructed, streamlined thriller that makes a graceful shift from claustrophobic whodunnit to disaster mayhem, all propped up by a solid performance by the reliable Neeson and a great supporting cast that includes Julianne Moore, recent Academy Award winner Lupita Nyong'o, Downton Abbey's Michelle Dockery, House of Cards' Corey Stoll, and A-list dirtbag Scoot McNairy.
Ride Along (PG-13, **1/2): Comedian Kevin Hart singlehandedly elevates this boilerplate cop comedy with a sweet premise squandered on clichés. A motormouthed security guard (Hart) tries to win the respect of his future brother-in-law (Ice Cube), a hard-nosed cop, by going on a ridealong with him as his partner for a day. All the two find is buddy-cop comedy clichés, from the ruddy faced captain shouting about Cube's constant procedural violations to a MadLibs-generated conspiracy and a cartoon villain. The casting of that secret villain, an unseen kingpin named Omar, turns out to be the movie's only pleasant surprise. Hart's performance, however, is no surprise. He's been very funny in some excellent movies, and very funny in some less-than-excellent ones. Here he turns a benignly bad movie into something passably entertaining through sheer force of will, mugging, riffing, and doing improv with the calculated fury of a plate spinner. It's good for a laugh in the depths of winter, but the only thing that will be memorable about this also-ran is that it cemented Hart's status as a real-deal movie star.
RoboCop (PG-13, ***): José Padilha's remake of the 1987 Paul Verhoeven pseudo-classic at least distinguishes itself from the original rather than lazily retracing the same ground while sanitizing it to make it PG-13-safe. Padilha even makes a real character out of Murphy (Joel Kinnaman), a cop laid low by assassins who's retrofitted with a robot suit to dispense justice in near-future Detroit. This RoboCop isn't a machine with traces of humanity but a man trapped inside a machine, although his individuality is tempered with drugs from his creators (Gary Oldman and Michael Keaton). Padilha stages some sharp action sequences as RoboCop tracks down first his killer and then the corrupt corporate masters who manipulate him, but the director is less concerned with conventional shoot-'em-up excitement than he is in critiquing the marketeers and demographers who try to focus-group RoboCop into something acceptable to the masses. Trouble is, that's exactly what Padilha's movie is doing, whether he likes it or not, and ultimately it conforms to the template established by the boring and overrated Batman Begins, which has become the de facto model for big-money fantasy-franchise cash-ins.
Three Days to Kill (PG-13, **): The title is a misnomer; this tired action-comedy by writer-producer Luc Besson doesn't even effectively kill two hours. Still, Kevin Costner proves he hasn't lost his rugged charisma as a terminally ill government contract killer who goes to Paris to reunite with his ex-wife (Connie Nielsen) and estranged daughter (Hailee Steinfeld) only to discover that a cartoonishly vamping CIA agent (Amber Heard) is offering a cure for his mystery ailment if he'll bump off a crime kingpin. The plot is inadvertently absurd, and the whole enterprise is tonally inconsistent. Director McG asks us to feel real sympathy for our antihero's emotional plight while at the same time presenting the solution to his generic illness in the form of an oversized novelty syringe filled with green goo. It's terrible, and so is Heard, who tries so hard to be sexy she's more likely to strain one of her muscles than yours. Costner and Steinfeld make an appealing father-daughter pair, though. Their scenes together seem spliced in from some other, much better movie.
Twelve Years a Slave (R, ****1/2): Director Steve McQueen's adaptation of the memoir of Simon Northup, a free black man drugged, kidnapped, and sold into slavery in the mid-1800s, is as harrowing as it is essential. McQueen is a chronicler of suffering whose previous two movies have focused on physical deprivation. Here he turns that same interest on the visceral horrors of slavery, where we follow Simon (an excellent Chiwetel Ejiofor) from the dehumanization of the market to a pair of plantations, one run by a genteel, conflicted master (Benedict Cumberbatch) and the other by a sadistic drunk (Michael Fassbender), to examine their different forms of horror. A recurring theme is the wrenching contrast between the sublime countryside settings and the elegance of McQueen's compositions with the destitution and misery of the circumstances. At times McQueen's art-school framing and chilly aesthetic removes us from the drama of the material, but far more often it deepens the horror. A truly remarkable, unsettling film, featuring great performances all around from the aforementioned actors, as well as Paul Giamatti and Lupita Nyong'o.
The Wolf of Wall Street (R, ****): Martin Scorsese's brash, loud, and long adaptation of Jordan Belfort's memoir of his days of white-collar crime and druggy excess is a spiritual sequel to Goodfellas and Casino. The comparison to both of those movies reveals this film's fatal flaw, which is that it refuses to examine the machinations of the antihero's criminal enterprise. Star Leonardo DiCaprio, in voiceover, often literally tells the audience they wouldn't be interested to know how he swindled thousands of people out of millions of dollars, but we came to see a movie with Wall Street in the title. It's Casino without the casino. Still, there's a lot to like here, both in memorably outlandish scenes of bad behavior (many of which involve a hilarious Jonah Hill), and the sheer improbability of Belfort's truly astounding misadventures. Despite all the liberal hand-wringing about Scorsese's failure to turn the thing into an activist condemnation of unregulated capitalism, the commentary is there if you're willing to look for it, and think for one second more.

From Michael Blanch in Dublin
A circular went out to all County Councils and Town Councils to tidy the Famine (An Gorta Mor) graves in preparation for "The Gathering 2013" we are moving in the right direction.
A huge thank you, from the Irish Hunger Committee, to the people of Athenry, in County Galway, who are doing their part to make the "Great Clean Up" of Mass Graves happen.
The famous song "The Fields of Athenry" focuses on the tragedy of the Great Irish Hunger and it seems very pertinent (some might say an omen) that this group should be one of the early ones to join in the effort. All volunteer groups are encouraged to help.
Anyone who can help should contact:
Ronan Killeen – Athenry Tourism – email@example.com
And please forward this info to all your contacts.

January 6th is a critical date in American history. It is the last chance this country has to preserve its democracy. If Senators and Congresspeople do not stand up and do the right thing that day, democracy is over in the nation that introduced it to the modern world, and our descent into dictatorship will have been completed.
If the small group of ultra right wing traitors presently in control of the Senate, the House, the Presidency, the Judiciary, the Press, and the manufacture of deliberately unverifiable voting machines, is permitted to stage a second coup d'etat, there will never be "election reform"; this crowd has made it abundantly clear that it respects power, not law. It will have become impossible to rid our nation of this cancer through the electoral process.
Things to do before January 6th:
- Investigate the Vote - MoveOn.org petition
- Request to US Senators Not to Certify the Election - Coalition Against Election Fraud petition
- Ask Your Senators to Contest the Vote - Contest the Vote petition
- Rainbow Push Coalition - Contest the Ohio Vote
- Save Our Votes March -- Baltimore, Maryland, to Washington DC -- Jan. 4th - Jan. 6th -- The Ohio Election Fraud Blog has a list of marches, vigils and other activities to keep you busy, check it out.
New Mexico isn't without problems either, ever heard of "phantom votes"? Seems they cancel out undervotes -- but don't actually exist. Huh?
It's time to be noisy folks. Get your Senator to contest AND investigate the vote. No more of the hacked up legislation like HAVA - which enabled more unverifiable voting to occur in the form of Diebold, ESS, Sequoia, TriAd, ect. "vote technology". It's time for actual standards to be employed, and a truly non-partisan, auditable, transparent voting system to be implemented.

Thinking about a few more races this summer, if I can afford them. But it will always be the time that gets in my way, really.
Ate this:
Breakfast was a smoothie with coffee
Lunch was peppers, carrots with almonds with water to drink
Dinner was a vegetarian lasagna.
Went for a 7k run in the morning to work on my weight. Felt really good after, hopefully good enough to win a challenge on Nike+

Vegetables flower but no fruit
A vegetable garden that's healthy and growing well is often a cause for concern when you see flowers on the plants, but they don't produce any fruit.
Ward Upham is an Extension horticulturist at Kansas State University. He says one problem that can affect a lot of plants is overfertilization. Tomatoes especially are very sensitive to that.
"If you overfertilize tomatoes what you'll get is a very large, nice bushy plant, but you're not going to get any fruit," he says. "It causes that plant to go vegetative rather than reproductive and so therefore you don't get any fruit until it has burned through all that extra nitrogen and can settle down, and start to produce fruit."
Tomatoes are sensitive to temperature and normally won't set flowers if the night air falls below 50 degrees. They also won't set when temperatures are too warm - above 75 at night and 95 during the day.
Vining vegetables such as squash, cucumbers, watermelon and muskmelon produce all-male flowers first. The female flowers appear about two-weeks later, and you'll see a tiny fruit behind the blossom. Upham says if you don't, it could be a problem with not having enough bees around to pollinate the plants.
"What you may want to do in that case, is pick off a male flower, strip off the petals, and then hand-pollinate several female flowers and see if they produce fruit. And you can just tie a string around that part of the plant so you know which one you've hand-pollinated," says Upham. "If they produce fruit and nothing else does, then you have a problem with pollinators."
Also, make sure your plants are getting enough sun. If they have less than 6 hours of sunlight per day, they may not bloom.

Some Jailed Mothers Say Hale House Didn't Keep Promises Prison rules make it very difficult for the women involved to speak out themselves. They are not allowed to receive telephone calls, their own calls are restricted, and volunteer advocates may not take them messages.

Canadian Tattoo Meanings And Ideas
Canadian Tattoo Meanings And Ideas
There is no better way to show off your Canadian pride then with a Canadian tattoo. For Canadians, there are a variety of elements and symbols that can represent your homeland. One of the most recognized symbols of Canada is the maple leaf. The maple leaf is commonly used to symbolize Canada as it is seen on the national Canadian flag. Maple leaf tattoos are a popular way to represent Canada. Maple leaf tattoos can be designed to portray the Canadian flag or they may be designed in a realistic design.
Although the maple leaf is the most common Canadian symbol used for Canadian tattoos, there are more symbols and elements that may be used to express your Canadian tattoo. Besides the maple leaf and Canadian flag, snowflakes, the moose, and hockey are all symbols of Canada. Hockey related tattoos are also chosen to symbolize Canada. The Canadian maple leaf tattoo can be designed in a variety of different ways. The maple leaf can be portrayed as a cartoon or realistically. The maple leaf tattoo can be designed in Celtic art and tribal art as well. Some may choose to get a Canadian maple leaf tattoo designed with tribal art. There are many ways that the Canadian maple leaf tattoo can be transformed.
Hockey is also a major part of the Canadian culture. Canadian tattoos can be designed off this passion that Canadians have for their national sport. Canadian tattoos may include hockey sticks, hockey pucks, or a hockey team from the NHL. The grizzly and moose are two animals that represent Canada as well. Both may be chosen for a Canadian tattoo design.
Make sure that you take the time to view all the different Canadian tattoo designs in this article. This will give you a general idea of everything that is available, plus you can gain ideas and tips for your own Canadian tattoo.
There are some very important things that you need to remember before you choose to get your Canadian tattoo or any tattoo. Make sure you take the time to research your tattoo before you choose to get inked. Make sure that you completely understand what your tattoo represents and stands for. You know what the Canadian tattoo represents, but you want to be aware of any tattoo symbols that you add to your Canadian tattoo.
Don't rush to get inked! I can't stress this enough, but you don't want to get inked on an impulse without thinking it over. Men and women that rush to get inked usually have regrets about their tattoo later on down the road. If you are not completely sure or your having second thoughts, wait it out. Make certain that you are completely sure before getting inked!

Cubs Win! Cubs Win! Cubs Win!
My Cubbies are now 1-1 on the season! They beat the Cincinnati Reds 4-1 on Wednesday. That rocks! Ted Lilly made a big impact in his Cubs debut, allowing just three hits over seven strong innings of work. The left-hander struck out nine and walked just one, helping Lou Piniella to his first win as manager. Aramis Ramirez paced the offense with three hits and two runs.

Sometimes life can be a drag, that is, unless you're watching the 40th Annual L.A. Gay Pride Parade when it's a Drag Queen extravaganza.
Yesterday my photo highlights of the Parade were all about the hot guys on display and before that the celebrities that turned out to show their support.
Today is all about the explosion of glamour, wigs, heels, outfits and attitude that struts its stuff down Santa Monica Boulevard from Crescent Heights to Robertson Boulevard.
Bring on the showgirls, sequins and feathers and may the best ladyboy win.
Headlining the parade of drag this year was the recently crowned winner of the second season of the reality TV contest, RuPaul's Drag Race, its mission to find America's next Drag Superstar.
RuPaul's Drag Race winner Tyra Sanchez
Tyra Sanchez brought the big hair (and big chest), and was accompanied by fellow contestant, the lovable Puerto Rican drag queen, Jessica Wild.
Tyra Sanchez and Jessica Wild
This year the Aid for Aids charity float also starred 'Best in Drag Show' winner Jonathan Wallace as 'Sybil Rights' who was crowned at the Best in Drag Show on October 18, 2009.
Sybil Rights - Best in Drag Show
The queens came from near and far to support L.A.'s Pride, from Las Vegas, Orange County to name but two.
Las Vegas Showgirls at WEHO's Pride Parade
I have to say though, some people are just born to work that runway, others simply follow (or are left far, far behind).
From one highlight of the Parade to another, the infamous Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, who spread cheer and joy with their fabulously colourful costumes.
Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence
Not strictly drag queens, this worldwide sisterhood of queer nuns that were founded in 1979 to combat HIV and AIDS, minister to the masses with glitter, joy, charity and the occasional tongue-lashing.
They are just a delight to see and are always a real crowd pleaser, always happy to pose with people and have their photo taken.
I've heard people complain that West Hollywood's Pride Parade is not as fabulous or doesn't have the same party vibe as San Francisco or New York (I've not seen them yet so I can't compare).
Naysayers especially berate the fact we live within the heart of the entertainment capital of the world with an abundance of creative people working 'in the business'.
Back home in the U.K. we don't tend to do the big floats and carnival atmosphere as much for Pride, it's always been more about a presence and political march through the streets of London (then there's the parties and festival afterwards). So I love all the colourful spectacle of the Parade in West Hollywood.
I sometimes wish the balance of politicians and attorneys could be redressed, and really a truck and a bus with no decorations or theme is not a float, but I still enjoy Los Angeles Gay Pride and think it's up to locals to make a difference too.
If you don't like it and feel it needs more glamour, more participants or floats, get involved yourself and become active in your gay community to organise something fabulous.
West Hollywood Pride cheerleaders 2010
In addition to all those with padding, the transgender community was also represented with this fantastic float full of beauties.

here really is nothing like a bit of drama or a tiara or two to make a Pride Parade more fabulous.
Come back tomorrow for even more great West Hollywood Parade pictures...

Also, Mel B has a tv show. I mean, at this point, why do I care? I know that pop stars of years past have always tried to reinvent themselves to be current and extend their careers, but I just can't get myself to give a hootenanny.
So I guess this post's title should read "Revenge of the Pop Stars".
Since we're on the topic of music, and I seem to be downloading hundreds of songs a day lately, I'm going to just share an observation I had the other day upon listening to the Zooey Deschanel cover of The Smiths, "Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want" from 500 Days of Summer. First of all, I love The Smiths. I mean, really love. Second of all, I hate that I like Zooey Deschanel. It's so cliche, I mean why wouldn't I like her, she's an offbeat brunette with good bangs and pretty stellar style (except when her pants clasp dangerously close to her boobs; high-waisted and breast-squishing are NOT the same thing), but man do I hate that I want to watch her in anything, even those damn cotton commercials. And then I started listening to She & Him and I hated liking her even more. But I do. And I like her cover of The Smiths, mostly because she gets away with it and if I was as
Sea Bass calling...
PS: I tried to upload a picture of ZD, but it wouldn't upload, and then realized that I'm pretty sure I've already put her picture on this blog. Which sucks even more. I need to change the song on my itunes now. sigh.


text: I went to keiths this weekend and let me say, i am never going back. I know i am a nobody in the community but for a fairly new gun owner let me say i was upset. I have heard rumors that gun shop employees are rude and stuck up and i agree. 2 gun shops and 2 let downs. Again i am new and wanting to learn more but they intimidate you and make you feel dumb. I was greeted once at keiths and asked for a couple items, i got them so that was good. But they do not trust their customer and wont let you carry some sights and magazines with all their cameras in the store. Well ok, that was fine i wanted to look at some handguns so i let them put 3 mags and a tru glo site behind register. Well when it was time to spend my 110 dollars worth of accessories i waited at the register for 30 mins with my card out. The guy just looked at me than back down. NOTHING, not a hi, or can i help you, or have you been helped, or i am busy can you please wait. So i left and supported the local sportsman warehouse. That pissed me off so badly, that i vow never to go there again. Not like i matter but horrible services is not what i want!

One of my poor kitties almost got eaten by a dog last night.
Granted, this is the cat that I would not be too upset about if he just up and disappeared one day. He is a jerk. He scratches the kids if they bother him, he pees on my bathroom rugs, and he loves to find my clean clothes and lay on them. He drives me crazy!
But, last night, we heard this horrible yowling. When we followed the sound, we found 3 dogs (not ours) running away. The poor cat came flying inside, hysterical. He was covered in dog saliva and dirt, had bites/scratches on his neck, he was missing some clumps of hair, and he was panting. He was completely freaked out. After awhile he calmed down enough that we were able to make sure he didn't have any serious injury. He is walking a little stiffly, but he seems to be otherwise o.k. He ate, drank water, and is currently hiding.
So, for at least the next few days, he will be my poor kitty instead of that stupid cat.

A few weeks ago we saw the release of 5e Dungeons and Dragons, and I was pleasantly surprised with the system (for my reviews- Part One and Part Two)! So of course with the big new shiny to play with I asked my players if they would like to take a break from our Hubris campaign (which we are about to hit the one year mark of play) and do a mini-campaign to try out 5e. No big surprise that all my players were chomping at the bit to try out the system.
I started pondering where I would want to run the game, and of course, I started getting too carried away- thinking of a whole campaign and world building rather than just realizing that this campaign will most likely only be 4-5 sessions before we go back into Hubris.
At first I was pondering running in in Planescape, but nixed that idea when I realized how much work I'd have to put into getting everything set up to run it… I'm too busy editing Hubris and writing notes on my next RPG book to read through a whole campaign setting right now… So, that's out.
So I started thinking about just mashing a bunch of things together… I also decided that this was a perfect opportunity to test one of my designs of Hubris.
When I started Hubris I wanted it to be a full campaign setting, but I also wanted it to be able to be hacked to whatever setting you wanted to use. Maybe you don't want to run a game in my fucked up and gritty world, but you do like the Land of Perpetual Stone and Mire, perfect- just take that land… It's perfectly stand alone and hackable!
So I decided I wanted to use the River Kingdoms from the Pathfinder world, Golarion (or whatever it's called)- however, make it a bit darker and twisted (because that's what I like to do).
I also decided that since 5e had some serious nods to the older versions of D&D and to the OSR, I'd run an older module. I decided to go with the Sinister Secrets of Saltmarsh since I was already decided to start this campaign in a swamp area. This also got me excited because it meant I could run the awesome Scenic Dunnsmouth (one of the best modules/adventures ever, btw) as well!
Also I decided to use a swamp because it allows me to test Hubris. I created my own swamp territory in my setting called the Bogwood Swamp. I'm not going to use the locations in it, but I AM going to use the Lay of the Land chart and the Encounters chart to see how well they translate to a completely different setting/world. I know it'll be fine, but I just want to see for myself.
I plan to start with the player emerging from the mountains with a man they are escorting to Saltmarsh. I plan to have this be a sandbox (contained within the River Kingdoms, since it'll be a short campaign), and we'll see where they go. I'll do a session write up with thoughts of 5e mechanics after we play on 9/14 and 9/21.
Inspirational Pictures
I love looking at pictures to generate ideas and use them as a reference point. I also think it is fun and easy to show them to my players and say "this" and them get the jist rather than constant use of descriptors that can be confusing. I also tend to use pictures to give my players a sense of the campaign rather than a huge wall of text that I know they'll never read.
Here are a bunch of pics! Enjoy!

We all like to get rid of our trash, but hate the big old waste bins. They smell, they are ugly and often unfriendly to the eye. As a consequence, a serious problem arises in society: an esthetic disturbance a lot of people are conscious about, nevertheless very few act upon. Not to worry though, in 2010, wall paper street warriors are invading the curb walks of the metropolises, embellishing dumpsters with joyful prints. "Come glorify my waste giant, please."

First of all, THANK YOU all for praying us home! I was very nervous about going back through Immigration last night, but God granted us a very nice Immigration Officer this time who was so glad that we were getting through this time! He checked all the paperwork and started scanning passport barcodes.... I almost couldn't restrain myself from jumping up and down! We all got through and then about half way past the officials we all did a HUGE high 5 and I did a HUGE sigh of relief!! We got to our gate and I could finally breathe! Then this nice Japanese man came and sat down and gave her some candy.... which was really nice, but then he started taking pictures of her and me, seriously it was Paparazzi like and I almost had to be ugly about all the pictures he was taking! It bordered on really strange.... I did feel better when I saw him taking pictures of some other Peruvians too, it was just a strange thing!
So, we finally boarded our flight and my Precious Peruvian... the WHOLE time we were at the airport was a perfect Angel! I couldn't believe it! If it were me, I would have been screaming the whole time from the frustration of the night before! But, she did great! We got on the plane and she flew (again) like she was the Princess of Delta Airlines and she slept pretty good for a couple of hours. AMAZING! Then this morning she was ready to go, waited patiently through US Immigration (a COMPLETELY different experience here!), then as we went through customs and on to our next flight. We did have to break out a well deserved can of Pringles (Papa Lay)! She was such a trooper after that! We flew to B'ham and were greeted at the airport by a few friends and my wonderful SW at Lifeline! It was a sweet gathering, and my Precious Peruvian didn't even frown at anyone!! She said "Hello and Goodbye" to everyone who was there even though they were strangers! AMAZING! And, she was sooo tired! Then came my next worry.... the car seat! Well, I told her she had her own special seat, she jumped right in it and was even trying to help me buckle the seatbelt, as if she had ever ridden in a car seat before! AMAZING! She didn't once complain and within about 5 minutes she was fast asleep! We stopped ont he way home.... through a drive through.... and got some lunch, then we came home, getting out wasn't so good, but again she didn't know where she was. After about 10 mins with her music, she was fine all over again! AMAZING!! Wherever I am, she is content to be and while she has a few moments, she recovers so well! Again, a HUGE answer to prayer for resiliency for her!
Loving the airplane seat... her very own!
Then we showed her her new room.... she kept saying "¡Oh Mira!"..... "Oh look!"! She was too cute, a little overwhelmed, but too cute! She loved her little beauty shop and seeing herself in the mirror.... too cute! Then we laid down for a nap, she fell asleep after a little bit, and slept well..... only to be awakened by her new friend.... Mia! Oh! I was so glad to see my little dog! I missed my sassy Chihuahua soooooo much! I am so thankful for those who took such good care of her while I was gone! She too was glad to be home too! She is now overseeing the blog.... to make sure that I get everything in there, like the millions of times she has licked her new friend! Mia has discovered that Liliana will be a good source of all the food Mom won't let her have! But, so far, they have gotten along great! Mia has done great with her except for the licking and Liliana has so far been ok with Mia too! Yay! Another answer to prayer!
Thank you to my precious friends who picked us up from the airport and came to see us there today, my precious friend who stocked my fridge with groceries and even made dinner and these awesome muffins! Thank you to all of you who have offered to do things, I promise I will let you know if I need something! And, thank you to everyone for your thoughts, prayers and encouragements! The last 48 hours were one of the biggest hurdles I have had to face, but I just had to trust God more! And, He did provide.... not how I wanted Him to, but He did provide! My Precious Peruvian officially becomes a US Citizen at midnight tonight! She will maintain dual citizenship, which is great for her, but I am so excited that we have now reached the next phase of the journey! And, thank you to the MANY who have prayed us this far!
Please continue to pray for us as we adjust to home! Already tonight, I could tell she felt at home, maybe because I feel "at home"! She loved her bathtub and I almost couldn't talk her into getting out! Please pray for her as I am sooooo glad to be home, she has had to give up her home! So, please pray for her as she goes through the process of grieving her old home (some of this has already taken place) and as she adjusts to her new home and new friends! Please continue to pray for wisdom, strength and courage for me and resiliency and continued attachment for Liliana! Please join me in giving ALL Glory & Honor to the only One Worthy! It is by His great love for us that the desire to adopt grew in my heart! He has shown me His Faithfulness, Power, Strength & how to rely solely on Him alone!
By the way, we are still working on transitioning her name.... for now her nickname is Pili.... so she may not answer to Lillie or Liliana..... we'll be working on that now that we are home! Thank you again for everything.... this very tired Mamá is going to go to bed now!
Blessings & Love!

Chancellor warns UK will fight back if trade deal isn't agreed over Brexit
Chancellor Philip Hammond has warned the EU that Britain will not "slink off like a wounded animal" but will "fight back" if it does not get the Brexit deal it wants.
In some of the toughest talking yet ahead of the UK triggering the Article 50 negotiations on terms of withdrawal, the Chancellor said Britain would "do whatever we need to do" to be competitive in the event of leaving the EU without a trade agreement.
Mr Hammond told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show: "If there is anybody in the European Union who thinks that if we don't do a deal with the European Union, if we don't continue to work closely together, Britain will simply slink off as a wounded animal, that is not going to happen.
"British people have a great fighting spirit and we will fight back.
"We will forge new trade deals around the world. We will build our business globally. We will go on from strength to strength and we will do whatever we need to do to make the British economy competitive and to make sure that this country has a great and successful future."
Asked if this meant the UK would slash business taxes to attract investment away from the EU, the Chancellor said: "People can read what they like into it. I'm not going to speculate now on how the UK would respond to what I don't expect to be the outcome.
"But we are going into a negotiation. We expect to be able to achieve a comprehensive free trade deal with our European Union partners, but they should know that the alternative isn't Britain just slinking away into a corner."
The Chancellor also indicated the UK would pay any Brexit bills it owed to the EU.
He said: "Obviously, this is a piece of negotiating strategy that we are seeing in Brussels. We are a nation that honours its obligations and if we do have any bills that fall to be paid we will obviously deal with them in the proper way.
"We are a nation which abides by its international obligations. We always have done, we always will do, and everybody can be confident about that."
The comments came after a Lords report stated that Britain could legally walk away from the EU without paying a penny if there is no trade deal.
While it has been reported that the European Commission's chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier is seeking a €60bn (£52bn) "exit bill" from Britain, the Lords EU Financial Affairs Sub-Committee said all estimates of the cost of withdrawal were still "hugely speculative".
Mr Hammond rejected calls from a cross-party committee of MPs for the Government to give an immediate guarantee to the millions of EU nationals living in the UK of their future rights.
The Commons Exiting the EU Committee said the Government should act unilaterally and not wait for a reciprocal assurance over the position of British citizens in the EU. The Chancellor told ITV's Peston on Sunday: "We have to protect the couple of million British nationals who are living in the European Union.
"We have to get a fair deal for them as well.
"This isn't about turfing people out, this is about the rights people have."
