Today, our FSP had some ups and downs of its own. We began our morning at the Minoan palace of Knossos, the largest and most important Minoan site known to modern archaeologists. The palaces were large administrative, economic, and ritual complexes that were the center of the ancient civilization of Crete. Our tour of Knossos was an experience of history in living color. As we wound through the maze of fancifully titled rooms, including the Lobby of Wooden Posts, Shrine of the Double Axes, and Court of the Stone Spout, we were treated to vibrant reconstructions of the Minoan's famous relief frescoes. Following Professor Faro's lecture on the remains, we wrote short essays on the functions of various elements of palatial architecture and the influence of reconstruction on our understanding of the past.
After lunch, the real work of the day began with a steep climb to the Minoan peak sanctuary of Iuktas. At 800 meters, the Cretan landscape opened up into spectacular views, which we enjoyed during brief pauses along our ascent. At the summit, Professor Faro gave her second lecture of the day, this one about the role of peak sanctuaries in Minoan ritual. We spent some time hunting for pottery sherds at the site, which we were legally obligated to return to their find spots. Jason took the prize with a fragment of a painted cup interior.
Having finished at Iuktas, we blazed a trail up and over the next couple of peaks toward the site of Anemospilia, home of the only physical evidence in the ancient Greek world for human sacrifice. Rambling our way through the universally spiny Cretan brush with only goat paths to guide us, morale sank in some quarters. Other spirits soared, relishing the adventure of the wilderness passage. At Anemospilia, the prolific Professor Faro delivered yet another lecture, which included the grisly details of the site's sacrificial fame. The shrine was destroyed by an earthquake, burying four Minoans. One of these unfortunate ancients had recently expired at the time of the collapse, his carotid artery severed by a knife found nearby. After participating in the traditional dramatic reconstruction of this ritual (sponsored by Mentos), we hiked back, running the last quarter mile to catch the 7:00 bus.
Back in Herakleion, we enjoyed a well earned Cretan meal at the Fish Tavern, which was punctuated by the immolation of the café across the street and the arrival of the fire engines. Later that night we attended the traditional waffles and ice cream feast with Professor Christesen in Herakleion's Lion Square. Now, all we have to worry about is Sea People.

I am a person who never kills the time, I made several crocheted and knitted sweaters, paddle pants, skirts, scarves, mittens socks for my children during travel hours for my survey work for THE project I . That's why usually my hands seldom remain idle. Except for during /sleeping hours. I always like to have my hands busy. It's comforting to me. Whether it is on computer, clicking camera, sewing, painting, knitting, embroidering. I am constantly clicking my pen at work too. I think its annoying sometimes for the people by your side. It's especially true with travelling long distances. I became nostalgic on seeing the shirt in picture above the edgings at neck with little grannies werecrocheted by me on the tours of villages near our city .........click here to know about the Shalwar_suit from Jaipur cotton
Happy Day!

As we celebrate, commemorate Memorial Day; it is fitting and right to honor our military dead, veterans, and active duty personnel.
It is also fitting to remember, as Christians, that we are soldiers.
And soldiers get wounded. Sometimes die. Sometimes, alas, they run. Or blend in with the enemy...
You that take a stand for Jesus in tough places...most notably a public (or Christian, for that matter) school...you who seize opportunities to brag on Jesus at the workplace...
Sometimes you may feel all alone. Sure, you know He is with you; but it seems you are on a one-man (or one-woman) mission.
Not true.
You are part of a family.
And people are watching.
And there may be some Christians who, as yet, don't have the courage, the guts, the obedience to stand up and stand out for Jesus. But they are watching you.
And hopefully learning.
And maybe drawing encouragement...step by step...to stand up.
Until then, they wallow in wishy-washiness.
From where did these thoughts come this early Saturday morning?

A Montessori charter school for grades K-3 is opening up in Manchester this fall. Last spring, we entered our daughter in the lottery for a spot. She didn't get in. We didn't get a post card or any notification that she was on the waiting list. Months went by. We got over it.
Last Tuesday we went on vacation, a long car trip to New York, then D.C., then back to New York, then back home. In D.C. I had tried calling my husband's cell phone and he didn't answer it. I thought it was just museum noise.
He was driving us from D.C. to N.Y. around 9:30 at night when I noticed the cell phone in his pocket. "That can't be comfortable," I said, so I helpfully pulled it out. Then I noticed, "There are messages."
"Probably just you calling me yesterday," said Ro.
"I didn't leave a message."
I called and got one message from his mother, plus another from someone at the Montessori Charter school: "We need to hear from you by 5pm today if you want Rafaela enrolled."
"Oh my gosh!"
My family all worried that someone had died, I sounded so excited.
I emailed from New York, around midnight, and called them the next morning, around 8:30 am. It was too late. They had given away her slot.
Now, I had been checking my email accounts daily. We did find the cell phone message within the same day that it was left. We just have never gotten around to figuring out how to retrieve messages from our home answering machine. We have never received any messages before that couldn't wait for us to return from vacation. Apparently, the school left us one message on Thursday, another one earlier in the week, and then thought to try the cell phone number on the day of our last chance. Had Ro's cell phone been set to ring instead of buzz, there's a good chance he'd have answered it.
Ro tells me he had explained that the cell phone, which was my cell phone before I got a new one for work, was stuck on buzz and he didn't know how to change it to ring. I don't remember him telling me that. It was one of those couple miscommunications--was he talking while I was looking like I was paying attention? or while I didn't look like I was paying attention? I could have fixed it when he said he told me, and then we'd have a daughter in Montessori school.
Today's Google Doodle celebrates the 142nd birthday of Maria Montessori. Yeah, rub it in, Google.

Refitting the Bathroom: 5. Two steps forward, one step back
Jenny Hickson
March 18, 2015

A misleading title really since everything is part of the planned progress, but when you spend your Sunday evening undoing the work of a weekend it doesn't feel like it!
By the end of Saturday we'd got all the cabinets in position. Much chopping and sanding was needed to carefully shape each piece so that they all slotted together really well, but we got there in the end. We'd also cut the worktop into shape and could finally get a feel for how the finished bathroom was going to look. Seeing the wood of the worktop against the white of the tiles started to bring home how close we are to done.
After church on Sunday we cut holes in the worktop for both the sink and the tap and then sat those in position too. What do you think? From the start the counter-top sink has been one of the features we've been looking forward to and seeing it in position - even if not plumbed in - was a very exciting moment.
And then we had to take it all apart again! Our bathroom is now back to how it was a week ago and all the cupboard panels are down in the conservatory so that we can sort all the final details and get everything painted.

In My Kitchen
Jenny Hickson
March 08, 2015

Being completely unprepared for this months "In My Kitchen" I've taken the prompt rather literally this time - and no "pre-blog tidying" has gone on! I'm not sure we've ever shown you our kitchen as a whole. Its rather chaotic in different ways; the complete mish-mash of cupboards, empty spaces, broken drawers and different colours of worktop come to mind before we even start on the added everyday clutter.
Looking around, this month of particular note is the broken down freezer which we've decided has given itself up for lent! We were going to hurry out and sort a replacement, but having dealt with the food that wouldn't fit in the fridges little ice box the urgency has gone. It'll have to be done soon though.
The chop saw sitting in the middle of the kitchen is certainly not a normal feature, nor the large stack of cardboard packaging to its right. A birthday present for Joe which should hopefully make the upcoming cabinetry a little easier.
Talking of cabinetry, without the cabinets in the bathroom there is no sink, and so toothbrushes are sitting on the kitchen side still.
Finally, some rather pink lilies that Joe found in the reduced section at 10% of their original price. Bargain.

Meanwhile, in Knitting News

The bathroom has been all consuming of late, but I've been trying to find time each day to put a few more stitches on my
Big Cables and Little Ones Too
jumper as well.
I've now separated the body and the sleeves and having less stitches to deal with is giving me the illusion of speeding up. I know I have to go back and deal with the other stitches later but I'm content with the fantasy for now.
Having finished the garter stitch yoke has actually sped things up though. Try as I might my purl stitch is still definitely slower than my knit and round after round of stocking stitch is now flowing rather nicely.
All the cables have now "disappeared" so its simply knit knit knit for the time being which is just right at the end of a busy day.

The Beauty of Money
The Beauty of Money by Rory – The Daily Coin
The feature image above is called "The Hand of Faith" and was uncovered in Australia.
I opened my first art studio in 1989. I had no idea what I was doing, I just knew that I wanted to create "stuff". This venture was born from living in south Florida, on my own, the year before. While in Florida I had left behind all friends and family and found myself alone. I picked up a paint brush, pen, canvas and by the time I left Florida I had completed 18 paintings and upwards of 50 works of poetry and short stories.
Over the course of the next 23 years I would have a variety of studios working in a variety of mediums and writing hundreds of short stories, poems and filling seven journals. I studied art, read tons of books on color, lights/darks and various sculptural techniques. I would regularly visit art galleries, museums, churches and anywhere that housed art work of any type. There always seemed to be one thing all the art had in common – it was beautiful. Why? Who wants to look at something that is ugly?
I feel confident that my definition of beauty is very different from your own, and that's okay. There would be elements that we could agree on that we would both define as beautiful. I feel confident in making that statement as I am about to prove it beyond question.
The so-called powers that be – the scum of the earth that we report their crimes against humanity on a daily basis, hijacked the art world approximately 200 years ago. These same criminal banksters and their government enablers began transforming the art world from beautiful to what we have today.
A lot of people are familiar with names like Michel Angelo, Pablo Picasso, Georgia O'Keefe and Rembrandt. Some of the most famous artist in history. These men and women have created, what could be argued, the most beautiful artworks ever. Where have they gone? Why do we not hear about art, real art, any longer? What about music? Is there any real music being created these days? When was the last time a new concerto was created? When was the last time a great musical artist was celebrated? Sorry, but Taylor Swift, Ed Shehran or even Pearl Jam doesn't qualify.
Art is vitally important to our world, to our soul. Art creates critical thought and fires the brain in a way that makes our lives better – yes, better. Musical arts, literally, resonate in our lives. Great works of music fire the brain on an even deeper level than visual arts.
Money, throughout most of human history, has been a physical "something". A coin, papyruses leaf, a cow, a piece of paper – something tangible. Today we find this in change. The powers that shouldn't be are attempting to strip us of our physical cash. Currently, they are winning as they are being assisted by the very people that, just a few months ago, were fighting these criminals tooth and nail. Today, not so much. The honesty and integrity have departed for the profits that only something as ugly as – As50dfRWE#$%l^Hsrd – could create. The complete disconnect from honest, true money for the allure of the latest get-rich-quick scheme, has been something to behold. There is a difference with this latest scheme that trumps all other schemes – this one has the blessing of the oligarchs that own the currency we use today.
The art of money below is wearable and can be used, globally, for any good or service. It is a real asset that a human being took time to forge, design and create building the beauty of the ages into the piece. It is made of 22k gold that was mined from the earth. A small piece of the miners and creators soul is encapsulated within the piece as well. These attributes can not be removed nor can they be denied. When a person sees this type of art that is money, some are awe struck, while others simply admire. Either way there is an actual human interaction that is created and introduces another level of spirit to money.
The oligarchs hate beauty – here is one of the latest forms of currency that has stolen peoples attention and proves my point – As50dfRWE#$%l^Hsrd – isn't that beautiful? How about – No, How about absolutely not. What about human interaction? What about spirit? What about integrity? All gone all stripped out – forever. I'm sorry, spirit and integrity would have had to be a part of it to begin with in order for it to be stripped out – spirit and integrity never existed in – As50dfRWE#$%l^Hsrd – it is void of anything with life.
Here is another view of the latest currency – please remember it's not money, merely currency.
Or what about this
Another look at honest, decentralized, off grid, anonymous money and currency
Here is another difference
No need for human interaction when dealing in virtual fiat currency.
It's a real shame that a lot of the people I used to hold in high regard and truly respected have now sold their soul for the scripts they used to fight against. The very scripts the oligarchs want us all using.
If its not about profits why weren't these people discussing digital blips-on-a-screen 3 years ago – 5 years ago – 8 years ago? Oh, that's right they were. 100% of these people were telling everyone how dangerous these instruments are to our sovereignty. Today they are cool and are going to save us from the banksters. These same people are now doing the bidding of the banking elite and ruling class ushering in the final stage of financial enslavement. Great work, people!
Unfortunately, it has become as ugly a community as I could have ever imagined – completely divided. One voice, rationally, attempting to carry the good news of honest money while the other voice is screaming about profits and completely overlooking the hammer being held above our heads. These people have somehow convinced themselves that something like – As50dfRWE#$%l^Hsrd – is going to actually stop the most powerful, well funded people in the world. Listen to what Chris Powell, GATA, has to say about fighting these criminal banksters since 1998 and the picture may become a little clearer as to how we can actually beat them. Personally, I don't see this – As50dfRWE#$%l^Hsrd – doing anything in the struggle for our rights and sovereignty.

Governor Chis Christie has asked for 100% help from FEMA. For debris removal, among other things.
Who knew ?
"Big Government" is usually the enemy, for Republicans, but Christie is right, Government is here for a reason. The cost of removing debris is going into the millions, if not billions. There are at least 22,000 homes that are uninhabitable, and people refuse to leave, some have no where else to go. I think this will bring up the issue of affordable housing, especially here in New Jersey, it is almost non-existent. People who have condemned homes are living with dangerous mold, but they will not leave their homes, and Christie does not want to use Eminent Domain to force people out. This tragedy has affected so many people, who will become homeless, if they have to leave their condemned homes.
Because the Shark insurance companies are abdicating any responsibility, here in Jersey. That is why Christie needs so much help. When the storm was downgraded into a "superstorm" not a hurricane, the insurance companies don't have to pay..

In the Huffington Post!!!
I'm basically somewhere in between stunned and speechless. I will write something better later – but for now just want to share this AMAZING article that Huff Post College published about You Can Do It, Bunny!
Christina Mercado, Georgetown Grad, Turns Job Hunt Into Children's Book
NEW YORK — Christina Mercado didn't have any luck finding work after she graduated from Georgetown University with a master's in business administration in 2011, so she decided to write and illustrate a children's book.
Mercado wanted to use her degree to pivot from project management to social enterprise. She knew it'd be difficult, but things had been looking promising prior to graduation. Mercado landed what she said was her "dream internship," working at an environmental conservation nonprofit in Mexico.
However, once she graduated, she realized how few full-time jobs were available, and how much competition there was from other applicants.

Back before M to the Izz-A had twin peaks (our term of endearment for his receding hairline) and before my unfortunate forehead was given the gracious gift of side bangs, we had our engagement pictures taken on a local beach. Actually, I really love these particular photos because we look so young and
By the way, I don't think I've ever shared with you all the fact that the boy bought a ring and proposed to me before we had ever mentioned anything about marriage or even brought up the idea spending forever together. Looking back, he must have been nuts. I mean, who in their right mind would do that without having first talked about it or at least mentioned it in conversation with the other person??
In the spirit of honesty, I must tell you that I do know part of the reason he fell for me. It was during our first month of dating when I made that third trip back to the lunch buffet line with him one Sunday after church that he knew I could hang. I guess he assumed that if I liked to eat like that, that I could also cook.
Oh, the folly in assuming, it gets even the best of us at times.
He quickly learned during our first year of marriage that while I did enjoy cooking, my list of recipes was sorely lacking. Although he never mentioned it back then, he now likes to frequently make fun of the fact that I cooked pork chops five out of seven days a week. I can't even defend myself with that one. I mean, what? I like pork chops and so I cooked them often. I baked them, fried them, George Foreman grilled them and mixed them into any casserole I could think of. They were my safety meat of choice if you will, because I wasn't yet comfortable with making fancy roasts or anything else for that matter. I figured that as long as I changed out my cooking method (Monday-fried, Tuesday-baked, Wednesday-grilled, Thursday-fried again, Friday - he better take me out to eat for pulling such pork chopping stunts) and as long as I changed out my sides, it was a whole new meal. Kind of like when you wear that same favorite shirt all the time but change out your jewelry, it's a whole new outfit. They're called staple items people, embrace them.
Well, I'm happy to say that I've made definite gains in the cooking department and I honestly cannot remember the last time I made pork chops. I do still love them, but obviously I tend to get on kicks, and right now I'm on a crock pot kick....what a wonderful invention! I'm gonna send a Valentine to whoever invented it and I hope mine makes it to them before Matt's does.

There I was, just sitting at my desk on what was shaping up to be an average Wednesday, until I get a phone call that changed everything. Friend Mike, who I oft hosted for lawn beers, asked me if I wanted to see Arcade Fire and Devo perform at the United Center, that day…in his boss' fully catered luxury box. The answer was an obvious and enthusiastic 'yes', so he picked me right up from work, with the T-Tops down, and we were tearing down the highway.
We were some of the first ones there, and once gates 2 1/2 opened up, we strutted over to our suite. No one else showed up for another half hour, but that just gave us the chance to lay into the mini fridge and cheese platter. The box was on the lower level at half court and offered a view from the stage flank that was neither too perpendicular to nor far from the action on stage. The plebs were milling about as I enjoyed my blue and brie on high.
Finally, the rest of the group showed up, as did our own personal meat carver. I really don't know how to assess someone's carving prowess, but after tasting what he placed on my plate I was very much satisfied with his work; that was some of the finest meat I've eaten in a very long time. There was also a dessert cart that came by and provided me with a perfect piece of carrot cake, and some sipping liquor in a small chocolate cup.
The music kicked off with Devo, which you may [or may not] recognize as the creative force behind "Whip It". They apparently live in Rockford, IL and were willing to join the tour for just this stop. I must admit that although I knew very little of their catalog, it is always great to witness any icon that has made a lasting contribution to pop culture. They are quite a bit older now so something about the performance seemed odd – it was just so far from their normal audience. We amused ourselves by considering that both my dad and I could have seen them open for someone. They of course wore their signature hazmat suits, and unmistakable red energy domes, along with several other matching get ups throughout the show. I can imagine that these were some quirky guys back in the day, and worthy of their cult favor.
There was some DJ entertaining the pit between sets, which I actually thought made a lot more sense than people just standing in silence. Once the stage was set, the army of Arcade Fire members came on out, 10 in all. I must admit that I only knew one or two songs by them, but as Grammy winning artists the overall quality of the music was high enough to be entertained throughout. There wasn't a whole lot of transition talk between songs, just boom boom boom – music. At several points during the show, there were people walking through the audience and on stage with enormous heads. It was bizarre. I have an awful camera on my phone, but this at least shows our proximity to the stage.
Once everything was wrapped up, I laughed at everyone working, almost competing, to vehemently agree with what our host thought of the show. Of course it was a great performance, but I can't imagine that the older members of our party truly felt as they were all suggesting. I was very grateful to have had such a first experience at America's largest indoor arena (by size, not capacity), and also to see some live music. Mike and I wouldn't get home until after midnight, and I just dumped myself into my bed once I got there. What a Wednesday.

UGA offensive coordinator has in-home visit with 5-star QB Jacob Eason
Before Jacob Eason took the field for Lake Stevens (Wash.) High School last Friday, UGA offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer visited the 5-star quarterback commit at his home.
Per NCAA rules, Schottenheimer is allowed to visit Eason in his home because the UGA commit has already signed his financial aid agreement. That basically allows for the college to have "unlimited contact" with a recruit.
Schottenheimer and the Eason family chatted about life and the offensive coordinator's coaching career. Tony Eason, Jacob's father, said he thinks Jacob and Schottenheimer could be friends forever.
"I think their personalities are really alike. I think he's going to be hard on him and teach him a lot, but I think they have a really good chance of being lifelong friends when it's all said and done," Tony said.
After the in-home visit, Eason had one of his best games of the season as Schottenheimer watched from the Lake Stevens sidelines. Eason completed 13 of 20 passes for 243 yards and five touchdowns. He also added a rushing touchdown in his high school's 63-7 win.
Schottenheimer made the cross-country trip to Washington for Eason's game then caught a red eye back to Georgia for his son's football game at 10 a.m. Saturday in the Athens area. That dedication from the UGA coaching staff is something Jacob's father is very appreciative of.
"It's just really nice having that support and having him out here," Tony said. "He's genuinely excited about being a part of Jake's life and helping him get to the next level. It means the world to me that Jake will have someone that is going to teach him what he needs to do to get to that next level. I think we found the right guy with Schotty."
Eason will enroll at UGA in January, and many Bulldogs fans are expecting him to come in and start from day one. So what does Jacob's father think about his son's chances of playing early?
"You have to be honest and look at the opportunity, Tony said. "Jake is going to go down there and start at the bottom and claw his way to the top, but there's a great opportunity for him at the quarterback position. He's very excited about that. There are no guarantees. There are no givens, but he has a good opportunity to learn and like I said, start at the bottom of the totem pole and climb up."

COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIAv.DOUGLAS REYNOLDS, APPELLANT
No. 1821 October Term, 1977, Appeal from the Judgment of Sentence of the Court of Common Pleas, Trial Division, Criminal Section, of Philadelphia County as of October Sessions, 1976, Nos. 2058-2061.
Bruce W. Miller, Philadelphia, for appellant.
Randolph L. Goldman, Assistant District Attorney, with him F. Emmett Fitzpatrick, District Attorney, Philadelphia, for Commonwealth, appellee.
Watkins, President Judge, and Jacobs, Hoffman, Cercone, Price, Van der Voort and Spaeth, JJ. Watkins, former President Judge, did not participate in the consideration or decision of this case.
Author: Hoffman
[ 256 Pa. Super. Page 264]
Appellant raises several contentions for our review, including inter alia, that the trial court erred in imposing more than one sentence on a single, unlawful act. We agree with this argument, and we reverse and remand for resentencing.
On June 21, 1976, a Philadelphia police officer arrested appellant and charged him with driving while under the influence of an intoxicating beverage,*fn1 involuntary manslaughter,*fn2 and recklessly endangering another person.*fn3 On
[ 256 Pa. Super. Page 265]
November 17, 1976, appellant filed a motion to suppress and, after a hearing, the lower court denied it. On January 24, 1977, a jury trial commenced*fn4 and the following factual pattern emerged. Ms. Geraldine Bell, a resident of 2561 North 30th Street, Philadelphia, testified that on June 21, 1976, she was at her home looking out the window. She observed a 1970 blue and white cadillac turn left from Huntingdon Street onto 30th Street*fn5 and collide with her car which was parked in front of her home. She ran out of her home and yelled at appellant who was driving the cadillac. He responded by stating, "Lady, I'm not going anywhere." Seconds later he backed his car up a few feet, then went forward, and again struck Ms. Bell's car. Appellant immediately reversed his car again, then went forward and collided with a car parked in front of Ms. Bell's car. Finally, appellant straightened his car and drove south on 30th Street.
James Fairfax, a resident of 2555 North 30th Street testified that he looked out his window at about 9:30 on the night in question and saw appellant's car smash into his car which was parked in front of Ms. Bell's vehicle. He ran into the street and observed the cadillac for 5 or 6 seconds as it travelled down 30th Street. Mr. Fairfax estimated the vehicle's speed at 50 or 60 miles per hour. Another eyewitness, Mr. Gray, estimated appellant's speed at about 60 or 70 miles per hour.*fn6
Appellant continued on 30th Street through intersections with Cumberland Street and York Street without stopping at either stop sign. Just south of York Street appellant's
[ 256 Pa. Super. Page 266]
car jumped the curb, crashed into 2338 N. 30th St., and completely demolished the steps of the property. Three women were seated on those steps prior to the crash. The impact resulted in the death of two women and in serious injury to the third, the owner of the house.
Philadelphia police officer Burke arrived at the scene within moments of the collision. Seeing that the car was beginning to burn, Burke ran over to appellant, and asked whether anyone else was in the car. Appellant was lying in the street; he responded that he had been alone in the vehicle. Burke stated that appellant's eyes were glassy; he reeked of alcohol; and his speech was slurred. As an emergency crew removed appellant from the scene, Burke told them appellant was under arrest for drunk driving.
Lt. Geisz of the accident investigation unit of the Philadelphia police department, proceeded from the scene to Women's Medical College where he observed appellant. Lt. Geisz stated that appellant's eyes were very bloodshot, there was an extremely strong odor of alcohol emanating from him, his speech was slurred, and his face was puffy. Based upon these facts, Lt. Geisz concluded that appellant was intoxicated and incapable of operating a motor vehicle. Lt. Geisz informed appellant of his rights pursuant to the Vehicle Code*fn7 and requested that he consent to a blood test. Appellant agreed, signed a consent form, and a doctor extracted blood at about 10:45 p. m. The chemist who analyzed the blood, Joseph McBride, testified that appellant had a blood alcohol level of .25.
A few hours later, appellant was transferred to the police administration building. While there, officer Boone warned appellant of his rights pursuant to the Vehicle Code and requested that appellant consent to a breathalyzer test. Appellant agreed to the test and Boone administered it at about 2:40 A.M. The results showed appellant to have a .15 blood alcohol level. Subsequently, at about 2:45 A.M., a police surgeon, Dr. Joseph Rogers, examined appellant and performed several coordination tests all of which appellant
[ 256 Pa. Super. Page 267]
failed. Dr. Rogers stated that in his opinion appellant was under the influence of alcohol.*fn8
In his defense, appellant testified that on June 21, 1976, between 6 p. m., and 9 p. m., he consumed four alcoholic beverages, each contained one shot of vodka. On his way home a little after 9 p. m., he turned south onto 30th Street and saw a child chase a ball into the street. Appellant swerved left, struck a parked car, and bumped his forehead on the left window. Because he experienced great pain from the blow, he drove off to obtain aid. He remembered nothing else until he awoke at the hospital.
The jury found appellant guilty of all charges. Following the denial of post-verdict motions, the court sentenced appellant to 2 1/2 to 5 years' imprisonment on one count of involuntary manslaughter, 2 1/2 to 5 years' imprisonment on the charge of recklessly endangering another person, and to 1 to 2 years' imprisonment on the charge of driving under the influence; all to run consecutively.*fn9 This appeal followed.
Appellant contends that the court erred in failing to suppress the results of his blood and breathalyzer tests. First, he contends that there was no probable cause to arrest him and, therefore, the warrantless search was not incident to a lawful arrest. Appellant concedes that § 1204 of the Vehicle Code*fn10 authorizes a police officer to make a warrantless
[ 256 Pa. Super. Page 268]
arrest of any person violating § 1037 of the Vehicle Code,*fn11 upon probable cause, in cases causing or contributing to an accident, even though the officer did not view the offense. Appellant alleges that the officer did not have a sufficient factual basis upon which to effect an arrest. The test for probable cause to arrest is "whether there were facts available at the time of the initial apprehension which would justify a man of reasonable caution in the belief that a crime had been committed and that the individual arrested was the probable perpetrator." Commonwealth v. Trefry, 249 Pa. Super. 117, 375, A.2d 786 (1977). In Commonwealth v. Levesque, 469 Pa. 118, 364, A.2d 932 (1976), the Supreme Court held that probable cause to arrest existed when the arresting officer, reporting to the scene of a collision, smelled the odor of alcohol on the suspect's breath, observed his general lack of coordination, and heard the suspect's admission that he was the driver.
The instant case is almost factually identical to Levesque, supra. Burke arrived on the scene almost immediately and observed that a serious accident had occurred. Bystanders directed him to appellant who admitted to being the sole occupant of the wrecked vehicle. Burke testified at the suppression hearing that appellant's eyes were glassy, that he reeked of alcohol, and that his speech was slurred. These facts provided probable cause for the officer to arrest appellant for driving under the influence of an intoxicant.
Second, appellant argues that the court erred in failing to suppress the tests because the police failed to warn him that the results could be used against him in a manslaughter prosecution. Appellant maintains that the warning is required by constitutional considerations. We dealt with this contention in ...

Obviously, every one of us wants our family insured and protected financially as much as possible. Well, it is not that hard to find a good insurance policy there are term, whole, universal and more types of life insurance to choose from.
Insurance is very important to avoid a financial turmoil in the future; that's why it is necessary to get and buy a life insurance policy that will cover and protect your dependents if the unexpected circumstances would come. When getting life insurance you must clear or get answers to all your queries before you make your final decision and apply for coverage.
When Getting Insured
• Identify the aspects that you consider why you need to get a life insurance. And of course, determine your beneficiaries this is very important. The insurance policy is the one that will handle your expenses when you're gone.
• Estimate the possible expenses you may have if your death came early than expected. And also the amount in which the insurance must cover to support your beneficiaries.
• Use the internet in looking for top insurance providers and make a comparison on their options and conditions. You can also find the insurance company that can help you with your needs by searching for them on your directory to ask them on the phone.
• Acquire many insurance quotes from different insurance companies because they offer different options in coverage and rates. There are insurance brokers that you can consult and you should arrive at the best policy with the right coverage and affordable premiums.
• Analyze other possible policies like the one that can allow you to build cash by investing your money in stocks or mutual funds. This type of insurance like variable life policy offers flexible premium payments.
Don't Wait 'Till You Are Older
If you are thinking of getting insured, get it while you are young. If your have children, their education will be secured too. If they have finished college and have their own job, you can change your beneficiary. It can be transferred to your spouse or any member of your family you want. But, if you are getting a smaller income than your spouse, it is better for your spouse to be the policy holder.
The purpose of getting a life insurance policy is to prepare for the future of your dependents for the time that you are no longer alive to give financial support. Always look first for the best kinds of coverage, the most affordable and the best policy that can provide the financial assistance right for your family situation. Buy your insurance now so that if ever the unexpected happens there will be support to your family.

DIY Hearing Aid
Hearing aids are expensive little devices, typically costing a few thousand dollars each. They need to be highly integrated to fit in the ear, while still providing signal processing to ensure good audio quality.
This DIY hearing aid does some intelligent signal processing. It uses an electret to capture audio, then uses a pre-amplifier to increase the gain 100 times. The next stage consists of four filters, dividing the input signal by frequency into four parts. These are passed into four LTC6910 programmable gain amplifiers, which allow an Arduino to control the gain of each channel. The LTC6910 takes 3 digital inputs that are used to set the gain value.
To determine which gain to use for each frequency band, the Arduino needs to know how much power is in each band. This could be done using a Fast Fourier Transform, but that would require quite a bit of processing power…

- I have a weird thing for symmetry. Be it clips on my bulletin board, the justification tab on MS Word, sleeves of my shirt, a drawing, a poem anything. It has to have some level of symmetry in it. It throws me completely off, and I can concentrate on nothing else till I achieve symmetry in whatever is there before me, in a weird-ass pattern. And well, sometimes the colours matter as well. The darker colours in the middle, the lighters outside, make it a rather balanced pattern.
- However, when it comes to geography, I dearly believe that things should NEVER be symmetrical. It isn't humanly possible to remember the way if things look the same left to right, and right to left! Connaught Place will always remain a pure untamed wonder to me!
- I am a stationery freak. No explanation required. Paper clips to pens to notebooks to….oh…my favourite….Post Its…. SIGH.
- I'm an organized mess. HUH?? Well. I'm not a very clean person. There will be clothes and stuff everywhere in my room. BUT, in my head, there is some pattern to it, and I will NOT stand you messing around with my mess!
- I absolutely absolutely cannot stand anyone brushing my eyebrows in the opposite direction. I will literally punch the person who dares to do this. To me its comparable to others hating nails on the blackboard, or some other quirkier people hating two thermocol pieces rubbed against each other :P :P :P
- I have a weird habit of randomly whistling while working or thinking about something. Not a big deal right? EXCEPT, I'm usually working or thinking in the middle of a very quiet class room or an office meeting. NOT cool.
- I can talk and talk and talk when I'm with guys. Not so much with girls. Still haven't figured that one out L
- Men's perfume. Hmmmm…
- I go through weird phases when it comes to emotions. There were years in between when I genuinely couldn't get myself to cry, even though I was well aware of the fact that the situation demanded it. And then there were these two years, when the waterworks worked overtime, and anything from a Shah Rukh Khan movie, a low pay check, to even a Tom and Jerry cartoon made me cry. Embarrassed much? Duh.

Hi Shreya, I think that this is the firs time I have commented on your blog but I ave been reading for a while now.
I have really enjoyed much of what you have written and look forward to where you are going to take me with each new post. You seem to capture your thoughts, ideas, feelings and observations so well in your writing. Lets stalk is one of my favorites. I think that it is something that we all feel.
Yesterdays post, expressions, was a wonderful account of of your choice to see and experience the beauty in the world. Not always an easy thing to do. I especially liked incident 3. The story of it has played in my mind a few times in the last 24 hours like a scene from a movie. The struggle to find humanity in a world of adversity and conflicting paths.
Todays post Quirky Doodle Do shows authenticity and courage. Admirable qualities for any writer and admired by this reader. You always seem to turn the world of for me as I absorb myself in your words. It is a wonderfully reflective experience.
I think that you might like a blogger/Writer that I know from Texas. She is both laugh your ass of funny while being incredibly sweet and endearing.

Electrical system freaking out
my car keeps spazzing after I take the key out of the the ignition(lights flashing, locks locking and unlocking, radio turns on. Then when I try to start it everything acts like its going to start but it take me like 50 times turning the key to start it. also sometimes it stays running for like 30 seconds after I turn the car off. Any ideas?
1 Answer
Bad ground? But I'd start at the battery, sometimes a low voltage will cause electrical issue as your having. Check the cable connections for corrossion, and if it's the original OEM battery, it might be time to replace. What is the voltage?

Beyond all what you said
and all what it had been,
I am swell and with joy
sometimes I gleam.
Yesternight beyond moon beams,
I wandered walking aloft the hill
and I could see
a bunch of deers
grazing hopping
doing all that is dear.
The silver rays
and their merry dance
I smiled awhile more
worthier was it of all my glance.
A happy air engulfed me
and it wasn't of you,my felicity.
And I loved it ,for all I know,
I thought not of thee
but if this I could make you see.

Tenderize the chicken breast until it is at an even thickness and cut/trim off any bits of fat or gristle.
Place buttermilk, crushed garlic and whole chopped chilli in a bowl - mix thoroughly and allow the chicken to sit in the mixture for at least 30mins in the fridge.
While the chicken is marinading place the flour, herbs and spices in a shallow dish and mix together (the mixture should have a reddish tinge from the paprika) - this will be used to coat your chicken.
After the chicken has soaked for 30 minutes remove it from the fridge and begin to coat it with your flour mixture.
Drain off any excess buttermilk and coat the chicken evenly - I repeated the method twice, dipping it in the buttermilk again and re-coating for extra crispiness.
Heat oil in a fry pan(oil should fill the pan half full) - once sufficiently heated turn down the heat to low-medium and place the coated chicken breast in the pan.
Cook the chicken until golden brown and crispy on each side and set aside to cool for a few minutes.
Serve on your choice of bread with tomato, rocket, red onion, a dash of aioli & goats cheese.

Your Black World reports:
St. Jude's Hospital has gained some illustrious patrons.
Aliya "Mama Pain" Najm, rapper/singer T-Pain's mother, Loraine Smith, Ne-Yo's mother, and Jacinda Carter, Lil Wayne's mother, all joined forced to help fund cancer research at St. Jude's. Children's Hospital.
Ruby Kearns and Ne-Yo performed at the 'Soul Celebration' event, which was hosted by actress Elise Neal and CNN news anchor, Fredricka Whitfield, and a fabulous gourmet dinner was served.
Smith says that she was surprised by the resilience of the children:
"My experience at St. Jude's was miraculous in that I was very surprised to see the children are not sorrowful and not sad. But they were running the hospital. They were pulling each other around the hospital in little red wagons. And they were indulging in artistic endeavors. One of the great things about St. Jude's Hospital is no family is turned away because of the inability to pay for services," she said.

Downstairs at the Maj
15 – 18 August, 2013
Christa Hughes, she with the voice that goes right up to her bum, returns to the basement cabaret at the Maj in great form.
Last time she was here was with her dad, the venerable boogie woogie pianist Dick Hughes, and a terrific set of dirty blues and drinking songs; this time around she's brought the striking jazz pianist Leonie Cohen, drummer Jim Dunlop, a combustible collection of right-out-there songs and some truly gob-smacking costumes.
The result, Neurotic Ladyland, sometimes threatens to tip over the edge, but most of the risks Hughes takes pay off, and she's always got that mighty voice of hers to straighten things up if they go haywire.
Hughes has a particularly strong string to her Bowie, and nails versions of his Cracked Actor and Under Pressure, along with a crafty medley of Mein Herr from Cabaret and Iggy Pop's Lust for Life, transposing the lyrics of each to the tune of the other. She's got the pipes for Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love, and the imagination to twist standards to her purposes.
One of them, It's Only a Paper Moon, opens the show, Hughes behind a lace parasol and singing through a megaphone to give its sweet lyric an effective Brechtian distance.
The twisted I've Written a Letter to Daddy and some melodramatic lip synched dialogue from Whatever Happened to Baby Jane follows, Hughes taking on Bette Davis in an eye-popping baby doll number and smeared whiteface.
I was a little relieved when Cracked Actor came to the rescue, and Bowie was there again later when a sequence of songs that began hilariously with Hughes mutilating My Favourite Things descended into some awkward material about porn and the bits that are used in it.
But the best came last. Hughes has rediscovered Lou Reed's spare, gorgeous ballad, New Age, from the Velvet Underground's 1970 Loaded album, and given it a stately, heartbreaking treatment, all artifice and outrageousness put aside. If nothing else in Neurotic Ladyland convinces you, though much of it will, New Age shows what an affecting and powerful performer she can be.
There's a wave of female artists, like Ireland's Camille O'Sullivan, Canada's Martha Wainwright, America's Amanda Palmer (who is at the Astor next month and should not be missed) and our own Meow Meow, who straddle rock and cabaret to deliver some of the most adventurous, sassy, sexy and beautiful acts you'll see anywhere. I've no doubt Christa Hughes deserves her place among them.

This study set sights at the issue of predominance of the attitude and behavior of self medication, medication storage and self treatment among female students of a Pakistani university. Random sampling and cross sectional surveys were conducted after collecting the data with the help of a questionnaire
that was circulated amongst students. Of the 450 participants, 78.74 % of students admitted that they
store medicines with them while other 50.95 % of students replied that they stop taking medicine prescribed by their doctors with the doctor's intimation. The 78.74 % females were involved in self-medication. The 21.98 % were of the opinion that they did it to save their time and the 12.57 % claimed that the
medicine given by the doctor did not have any effect. The medicines which are used to treat symptoms as
self-medication are analgesics and antipyretics (22.57 %), ear, nose and throat drugs (14.34 %), vitamins
and minerals (12.17 %), gastro-intestinal tract drugs (10.30 %), anti-infections (8.05 %) and herbal
medicines (5.44 %). Female students should be educated to be sure to acquire safe practice by increasing
their knowledge. Such strong policies should be instigated that the availability of unprescribed medicines
should be restricted to avoid hazards due to self-medication.

Yesterday, I got upset with someone after he suggested that I had been angry with him.
I am in university and it's finals season. I had to study. And he generously offered to help me. He was reading off review questions from my notebook and I was answering to the best of my knowledge. I expected him to know the correct pronunciation of "Wernicke's Encephalopathy" or "hepatocellular carcinoma" or "kyphoplasty." Of course he didn't. Nobody who hasn't studied biology or physiology would know what these words mean or how to pronounce them correctly. But I have a mental block when words are pronounced incorrectly. I can't see the mispronunciation and forgive it. Instead, I get confused and wonder what that word is - that new and strange word - the word I don't know. I get angry with myself because I feel like I have missed out on something I should know. And yesterday, when I finally realized that it's something I've known about all along, just pronounced incorrectly, I instinctively stated the correct pronunciation.
He accused me of being "short" with him. He accused me of implying that he was "stupid." I am completely confident that I did neither of these things, and the accusation hurt me. But what I took away from this encounter was that what he saw - and what was he said were backed up in my expression and tone of voice - was that I was upset with him.
I have very little control over my expression or tone of voice. Or, rather, if I can control it, I do so poorly. I have been told this. And I believe it as well. I may use different voices, but I rarely put any thought into the voice I use and its correlation to my intention.
My point in all this: I didn't see the situation from the other person's side, and it's taken me over 24 hours to grapple with why. And I still don't know. I just know it was an emotional time for both of us and I don't believe either one of us intended to hurt the other. Sometimes, I give off "angry vibes" that I am not controlling. That's just how it is. I don't mean to be mean. I don't mean to be hurtful. I just have a very strong connection to words and find it difficult to understand context when things are mispronounced.

Greek man charged in NY Dali theft pleads guilty
The Associated Press
Phivos Istavrioglou pleaded guilty on Tuesday following his arrest in the theft of a work titled "Cartel de Don Juan Tenorio."
Prosecutors say the fashion industry publicist walked into the Manhattan gallery in June, put the painting valued at about $150,000 in a shopping bag and walked out. He anonymously mailed the piece back to the United States from Greece after seeing news coverage of the theft.
Under the plea deal, Istavrioglou avoids additional jail time if he remains incarcerated until his formal sentencing on March 12. He also must pay more than $9,000 in restitution.
His lawyer said it was a stupid thing to do.

If you don't know about puppy mills, last month, Oprah did a special on Puppy Mills and breeders:
DB Etiquette Recommendation: For every pet bought from a breeder or pet store, over 800 are put down. Yep – 800. Per day. In each State. Simply because there are already millions of dogs being euthanised because no one wants them. And the devastating thing is – you can definitely adopt pure breeds from shelters!

Summmer is lazy and wonderful, sometimes you don't have much to blog about.
Thank you for the kind comments about Rog. We're still doing some follow up stuff with his thyroid issues - waiting for a biopsy result that they decided to do last week - but feeling good about the situation.
Besides that we're just doing the usual stuff....work, play, sleep.
Those that know me know how much I value my sleep. Like I'm a 10-10 kind of girl. Really. Well with a huge smile of accomplishment on our faces we can say that Brooklyn now sleeps in her crib always! Six months of sleeping in our bed and she actually can't fall asleep in our bed anymore. Yes!!! (Pathetic that our 15 month old is just now sleeping by herself) And her naps magically became longer once she was in her crib. :) :) :)
Isn't her hair hilarious? She has a tuft of hair on the very top and that's about it.

On the developing business front as well as the job creation front things have never been better.
"It has never been brighter in the 10 years we have been here," Napier-based Big Save managing director and business proponent Ray McKimm said, adding that a huge re-development of the former British American Tobacco (BAT) site in Ahuriri underlined that - big time.
At this stage, due to confidentiality agreements with the business involved, about two thirds of the building, which is presently being re-fitted, is set to be taken up by a major company, for a business which Mr McKimm said would create between 40 to 70 jobs.
"I can't say any more at this stage," he said.
"But it is happening and it [the fitting out for the new venture] is set to be carried out by May/June next year ."
He said the contracts were being signed, the meetings and negotiations were going well, and that what was being planned was "an incredibly exciting" development for Ahuriri, and the city.
"It is under way and it is one of the largest developments in Hawke's Bay," he said, adding that the monetary figure was around the $26 million mark.
So it was effectively a "watch this space" situation, although he was able to fill in some gaps about what was being developed for the other third of the BAT site which was being completely re-developed.
"It will be the first urban winery in Australasia and it is also under way," he said, adding it would likely to be up and operational in mid-March next year.
"It is very exciting."
Mr McKimm said Hawke's Bay was on a roll, one that was gathering pace.
"We have never had so many inquiries from out of town - we have never been busier in dealing with people."
He said the inquiries revolved about two features - business and lifestyle.
Surveys and questionnaires which had been carried out in Auckland asked what would be the best place they would consider and like to work and live in.
In most cases Napier is at the top, or second.
"You can't argue with the environment created here - great weather, great schools, great wine and in Napier we have the best water."
It is the lifestyle factor which he said had attracted another major business to look at shifting shop to Napier.
Mr McKimm said they had been working on the plan for "some time" and it was coming together.
While unable to comment in detail about it "at this time" Mr McKimm said it was a company involved in the graphics and animation industry, and employed about 200 people.
Of that number about 60 or 70 were looking to come to the Bay from Auckland.
"It will be one of the biggest movements out of a major city into a regional area."
It was not just IT that was targeting a new home in the Bay however.
Manufacturing and logistics companies were also touching base with Mr McKimm and Business Hawke's Bay.
The region was a top prospect for a business to work out of as it had the required infrastructure in place, and that lifestyle attraction.
"We have the housing and we have the good schools - it is all part of the matrix they look at."
There was also the import and export factor.
"We have such a very efficient port here."
What had been one of the greatest challenges for the region had been jobs, but that was beginning to turn around.
Mr McKimm said many parents would like to see their children return to their home city and region but a lack of jobs had prevented that.
"But we are creating jobs here - that is changing."
The manufacturing industries, the pipfruit and the wine industry were strong factors in what was an increasingly promising long-term package for the Bay, he said.
The McKimms had seen the potential of Hawke's Bay and accordingly set up here in 2006 after buying the 5.4ha BAT site - shifting their Big Save business headquarters there the following year.
They then set about attracting business to the expanding Ahuriri hub, and within five years had taken in 55 new tenants, with 43 of them taking on more staff.
Big Save itself took on 16 more people.
"We have absolutely no regrets about moving here - not one negative at all," Mr McKimm said.
"The Napier City Council have been superb and I don't think things have been brighter in the 10 years we have been here."
Developing the business and employment potential for Napier and the region was no overnight mission.
The under-wraps major development for the BAT site had been under negotiations for about two years, Mr McKimm said.
About the same time it took to get the Business Hubs sorted and started.
"I do like a challenge," he said.
"Hey, it's fun," he added with a smile.

Starting from 2012, the National Statistical Office launched efforts to develop an index that can measure the quality of life. The index consists of 12 categories comprising 80 items ranging from income to consumption, employment, wage, social welfare, residence, health, citizen participation, safety, and the environment.
After five years of research, the statistical bureau released the "Life Quality Comprehensive Index" on March 15. The index stood at 111.8 in 2015, up 11.8 percentage points from the base year in 2006. During the same period, Korea's GDP grew 28.6 percent.
In other words, there was a big gap between the level of improvement in the quality of life in Korea and the level of economic development as measured by GDP growth.
The gap between the growth in GDP and the improvement in the quality of life is not unique in Korea. The situation is similar in Canada, a country benchmarked by the National Statistical Office. During the period from 2006 to 2015, Canada's per-capita GDP rose 8.8 percent but its life quality comprehensive index rose merely 3.9 percent.
