Why UCHS?
The Hickory-Unifour community is growing in terms of educational choices for high school students. Thriving communities all over America have found that competitive choices alongside good public schools enhance the entire community's productivity. Public schools do better when there are viable alternatives. Healthy competition raises the bar for all endeavors. The Catawba Valley region has long grown on the notion of healthy competition in the marketplace. The time has come for a highly academic Christian high school for the Hickory area. In partnership with Lenoir-Rhyne University, University Christian High School meets this community need in the Lutheran tradition.
Most of the "Top 10 Places to Live" in America have one or more highly-effective, faith-based secondary schools in their communities. There is a need for such schools in the Catawba Valley area to add to the rich tradition of our successful public schools. Students have different needs, and in order to enhance the quality of our high school and college graduates it is imperative that students are matched with schools which best meet their learning needs. The big-box high schools, despite quality outputs for some of their students, still do not reach all students in the most meaningful ways. Learning is one of God's most enduring gifts. Traditional public school education remains predominately secular and industrial in method and values. There are many students who thrive in a challenging, Christian environment. UCHS fulfills this need.
With college cost rising at 5% to 7% annually, UCHS provides relief financially as well as academically. We are the only accredited, dual-enrollment parochial high school in the Unifour region. We provide college course work in the 11th and 12th grade for qualifying students. With students earning up to 30 credit hours, college costs can be reduced! Faith, academics, college cost-containment, and a rich environment of all-around learning fulfills the need of educational competition necessary for a thriving community.

The ramblings, thoughts and observations of a post menopausal woman. Love reading boating blogs, and one of these days I will own a boat of my own!
Wednesday, February 25, 2009
All packed and ready to go
I often curse or ask questions to thin air, but that is the first time I have had such a quick response!!
I thought I would feel sad, but actually I didn't. I have got fed up with the travelling up every weekend and now I will have the time to go on some of the London walks I love so much. I love doing those in the summer and we once went on a ghost walk which was funny/spooky and good value for money.
Course I will be going up to see Sharonon a regular basis, so I will still be able to go to my beloved farm shops.
So here's to the next phase

Well Bon Voyage m'deario, I hope you'll keep blogging to let us know how you're getting on?

I dunno about the cursing cos that sounds a bit negative to me, but positive thoughts definitely work for me.
What I remember most from that London Walk we went on was the awful stench near that old graveyard. I've never smelt anything like it either before or since.
I'm looking forward to farm shop visits and driving along random country lanes with music blaring out :)

Yes those random country lanes are definitely your thing, but by god have we found some things down them!!

Yepp, like quaint country pubs, old pairs of knickers, more farm shops, abandoned bags of money, pretty locks with picnic benches, naked men and sheep running randomly along the road. Ok, maybe not all of those...

Today's Reading: Romans 10:9-17
Daily Lectionary: 2 Kings 4:48-5:8; Ephesians 6:1-24
So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (Romans 10:17)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Faith comes by hearing. Hearing comes by the Word. The Word is brought to us by the preachers Christ calls. That's how He sets it up.
One big reason that people don't want to be a part of the church is that they suppose they don't need "organized religion." What they're really saying is that they must have some other way to get God's Word apart from their pastor and the Bible. But there is no other way to have God's Word. He doesn't send it any other way.
You have a preacher to teach you what is in the Bible. You have the Bible so you know what your preacher should be teaching and preaching. But of those are outside of you. No going inside your head or your heart to figure out what's up with God. The Lord tells us Himself in His Word.
And what does His Word say? It declares Christ true God and man, who is our Savior from our sins. Over and over the Word directs us to Christ and away from ourselves. By the Word we learn repentance for our sins and faith in Jesus. The Word directs us to have Jesus at the font and altar, and from the pulpit. The Word rescues us from the vague ideas about God in our hearts and gives us real, solid truth.
To not want a pastor--not want to be under his care or not want to be a part of Christ's Church--is to say that there is some other way to have and know God. And there isn't any other way.
Yet the Lord's way of doing things is given for our assurance and certainty. After all, the crazy ideas we have will come and go but the unchanging Word of God, faithfully delivered by the pastors He calls, will always serve to rescue us from sin and death and give us forgiveness and life. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.
God's Word is our great heritage And shall be ours forever; To spread its light from age to age Shall be our chief endeavor. Through life it guides our way, In death it is our stay. Lord, grant while worlds endure, We keep its teachings pure Throughout all generations. (God's Word Is Our Great Heritage, LSB 582)

A 25-year-old woman, Aisha, who was rescued by the army during a raid in Sambisa forest last year has gone back to her husband.
Aisha was reportedly part of 70 women and children, who just finished a nine-month deradicalization program.
Her younger sister explained that Aisha went with her son, fathered by her Boko Haram husband, Mamman Nur and some few clothes.
According to her, Aisha had received a call from a woman who told her she had returned to the forest.
SEE ALSO: Aisha Used To Hunt Antelope, Now She Hunts Boko Haram
Meanwhile, Aisha, in a chat with Reuters said she was highly respected in the forest because she was married to a leader of the sect.
She explained that she had servants who attended to her needs.
Aisha's calls are not answered and her mobile has since been switched off.
Fatima Akilu, a psychologist, who is involved in the deradicalisation the program explained that women were far more difficult to deradicalise and reintegrate into their communities than men.
Rehabilitation, Reintegration is a long process … complicated by the fact we have an active, ongoing insurgency. When you have fathers, husbands, sons, and brothers who are still in the movement, they (the women) want to be reunited … to go back to a place where they feel they belong.

Photoshop CS3 was released with a few new and powerful tools. On of which is the Black & White Adjustments Tool. But what is the difference between the previous conversion to black & white by way of the channel mixer and the new tool? Lets weigh out the steps and option for each and have you decide.
First, let's start with a nice, colorful image to convert.
<a href="http://designcreatology.com/b/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/tulip.jpg" title="Pink Tulips"
This is the most common method of conversion, and yields the result below. While the image looks O.K- it can look much better than it does.
Image->Adjustments->Channel Mixer
The channel mixer should be familiar to you if you spend any time doing color critical work. This is a good way to selectively adjust your colors- giving you a bit more control than some of the other tools. The key to this method is the 'monochrome' checkbox on the bottom of the palette.Once you click on the "Monochrome" checkbox, you will see the image convert to black and white in the background. Now you can use the Red, Green and Blue sliders to selectively control the contrast of your image. The example below, I adjusted the image for "pleasing-ness" in the Channel Mixer palette.
There is just one problem with the method- the image does not convert to the grayscale color space when you are done with your adjustments, and hit OK. So just remember, when using this method- CONVERT TO GRAYSCALE WHEN YOU ARE DONE! Otherwise, you printer might get a little annoyed that all of your '1-color' images are actually RGB.
The New Tool: Image->Adjustments->Black and White
This is the newest tool in this bag of tricks, introduced in Photoshop CS3. The control palette looks similar to the channel mixer palette, but has many more sliders- which means more control over your adjustments.
The best part of this tool, is that visually, it is very simple to understand. In the case, the large pile of red lumber on the right hand side of the image can be darkened or lightened by adjusting the Red slider.
I can't imagine ever converting to grayscale again without it. And if you are tinting photos, you not only get to apply the color cast you want, but you can still control the colors to create the contrast necessary, as well. This is far more useful than the Hue/Saturation techniques to create a CMYK duotone effect. How many of you used to create a true duotone, then convert back to RGB or CMYK? And, of course, there is the Color Overlay of Photoshop's Layer Effects, but this beats 'em all.Any suggestions, ideas? Feel free to comment on this article!

Stanford researchers create exotic electrons that may lead to new materials, devices
The handcrafted, honeycomb-shaped structures were inspired by graphene, a pure form of carbon widely heralded for its potential in future electronics.
By Mike Ross
Researchers from Stanford University and the U.S. Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have created the first-ever system of "designer electrons" – exotic variants of ordinary electrons with tunable properties that may ultimately lead to new types of materials and devices.
"The behavior of electrons in materials is at the heart of essentially all of today's technologies," said Hari Manoharan, associate professor of physics at Stanford and a member of SLAC's Stanford Institute for Materials and Energy Science, who led the research. "We're now able to tune the fundamental properties of electrons so they behave in ways rarely seen in ordinary materials."
Their first examples, reported Wednesday in Nature, were handcrafted, honeycomb-shaped structures inspired by graphene, a pure form of carbon that has been widely heralded for its potential in future electronics.
Initially, the electrons in this structure had graphene-like properties. Unlike ordinary electrons, for example, they had no mass and traveled as if they were moving at the speed of light in a vacuum. But researchers were then able to tune these electrons in ways that are difficult to do in real graphene.

In the village called Japan: Wazir Shah, Saheb Shah (audacious name, audacious moustache), and Edward Shah, elders, lounge around on charpais. Smoke rises into the shimmering air from an immense hookah. A Datsun pick-up drones up towards Malakand, away on the main road.
The road bisects a vast borderless dusty yellow plain, over which a parched breeze whispers. Here, conversation is unhurried and there is no need to have a punch-line to your stories.
There is an impressive bank of largely redundant light switches, traditional to Pakistani electricianship, on the wall of the house against the wall of which Saheb Shah leans his back. Japan gets a few hours of electricity each day. There are two electrical appliances in the house: one ceiling fan, and one lightbulb. The remaining switches play a role later on in the story.
What sort of a place is Japan? Noseless ghosts of dead Buddhist monks (butchered and mutilated by the armies of Mahmud of Ghazni) from the ruined monastery on the hill sometimes come down into the town, and are not liked by the superstitious population. Little boys with braziers come and shoo the ghosts away with acrid smoke for two rupees a go. Itinerant salesmen of dentifrice with loudhailers mounted on bicycles and sample cases of bright pink powders periodically pass through the town on their endless journeys. Legless men, scuttling through the traffic on powerful overdeveloped arms, gather to beg at the customs toll booth. They are heavily involved in the heroin trade, smuggling wads of drug-money under the noses of policemen. The police and army shoot it out sometimes, at the petrol pump on the corner of the road up to the red hill.

Out of Africa was my brother's favorite movie of all time. For a long time I felt kinda guilty for not having ever seen it.
Now that I've watched it, I'm reminded why I'd been avoiding it.
As part of my Meryl-Streep-a-thon, I've been watching as many Streep films as I can get, one-at-a-time through NetFlix. I was looking forward to Out of Africa, mostly because I was pleasantly surprised by how "modern" Sophie's Choice seemed. I was in that mode to absorb an epitome-of-an-Oscar-film-film.
Or so I thought.
I really enjoyed the first 45 minutes. I was enraptured by lush landscape and beauty of Streep and Robert Redford. Then I plateaued and forced myself through the remaining hour and fifty-one minutes.
Wow, is it loooooonnnnnnggg.
I mean looooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnggg.
Like I mentioned with Kramer vs Kramer, part of it has to do with an acceleration of culture. Not to be condescending or argue for the hyper-cutting style better. It's just, we as an audience can grasp things more quickly. Or, more accurately, we are growing less tolerant of scenes where characters walk to their cars, get in the car, start and drive the car, get out and walk to where they're going. Unless there is a reason (the audience needs a breather after a tense scene.)
And I was under the impression that it was this great love story. My take (SPOILER ALERT) is, Streep's character gets dumped by her womanizing lover, only to enter into a marriage of convenience (she has money, he has a title) with another womanizer. The guy uses her money to turn what should have been a working farm into a coffee plantation which is doomed from the start. He takes off to God-knows-where right away, leaving her in charge of a whole staff whom she can't really afford, and infects her with syphilis. Eventually, she falls for Robert Redford, another womanizer who comes and goes as he pleases. They have some nice times, and yes he washes her hair, but mostly she's upset with him for not committing and he's upset with her for telling him what to do. Oh yeah, then he dies. And not in some dramatic, deathbed reveal, but in a "by the way, he crashed his plane."
I am glad I did not see this movie while my brother was still alive. I would surely have ruined it for him, much like I try hard to ruin Gandhi and Chariots of Fire.
But, once again, Meryl Streep is brilliant.
Next in the Queue, Falling in Love with Robert Dinero.

Yeah, that is pretty much it. But, you forgot about the racism, the poaching, the other characters' slow painful death from disease, the fire, the losing the family fortune, the getting old without a partner and the never being able to have a child.ReplyDelete
Hmmm, but somehow, I really liked it. It was beautiful and sad. It made me cry and cry about the characters and about other things in my own life and times that make me ache with longing and loss.

It is no secret that the United States is the most sue happy, litigious society on earth. That said, it is important to note that many of these lawsuits are a necessary component of our legal system, and possibly the only means to right many of the wrongs that occur in our society on a daily basis. Unfortunately, the flip side of this observation is that many of these lawsuits are based on nothing more that an attempt by one party, with the aid of an unscrupulous attorney, to seize as much money as possible and generate a financial windfall for the suing party.
First, if you rightfully owe money to the IRS you are required to pay it. Second, if you are brought to a debtor's exam, you will be forced to disclose what assets you have under penalty of perjury. A properly designed asset protection plan allows a debtor to disclose what assets they control, without sacrificing the protection. Anyone who tells you that setting up a corporation is a means to hide your assets and evade paying taxes is nothing more that a criminal who is advising you to join in their scheme.
Also, be wary of anyone who is advising you to shield yourself through the use of "bearer shares". Bearer shares are corporation stock certificates which are owned by the person who holds them, the "Bearer", and are not recorded under the owner's name. Some unethical asset protection advisors tout bearer shares as a means to shield the ownership of a corporation and thus evade the tax liability associated with the corporation. The IRS has been aware of the practice for a long time and if they catch you using bearer shares to avoid paying taxes, be prepared to take an extended vacation in a federally funded resort with no pool and plenty of concrete.
Any ethical asset protection advisor will tell you that the use of bearer shares is a BAD idea and if some expert is telling you otherwise, politely excuse yourself and run awayquickly.
Further, be aware that any advisor telling you it is possible to absolutely "bulletproof" your corporation from liability is lying and they are simply after your money. There is no magic cloak of protection from liability. That being said, a sound asset protection plan is an essential part of the success of your business. Although you cannot protect all your assets from legitimate claims, proper asset protection can limit the assets exposed to those legitimate claims. With proper planning and advice, you should be able to adequately limit your personal liability and protect yourself from illegitimate claims and unscrupulous individuals.

Totally thrilling, right? ;)
Saturday - Tonight we had pork, sauerkraut, and potatoes--our New Year's tradition. The pork was in the form of bratwurst from our local co-op, and some of the tastiest I've had. Sauerkraut was also from our great state, and mixed with browned onions and simmered 'til warm. For the potatoes, I used my favorite stand-by and roasted them, seasoned with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and rosemary. I served them with Greek yogurt, to which I'd added some seasoning mix from The Spice House.
Sunday - Ground turkey chili with gluten-free cornbread. Ideally, I plan to make the cornbread in my new 8-inch cast iron skillet!
Monday - Turkey Reubens, using the leftover sauerkraut, lunchmeat turkey, and local Swiss cheese, minus the Thousand Island dressing. I'll try to make a sauce using Greek yogurt again. I'll also need to make a loaf of clean wheat bread for myself; The H is still working his way through a GF pumpernickel and another homemade GF loaf.
Tuesday - Jerk chicken in the slow cooker... I think. I've made this a few times before, but never in the CrockPot. If I recall the recipe correctly, it should translate just fine. When we get home from running group, I'll reheat some brown rice and serve the chicken with that (the recipe also includes pineapple and bell peppers).
Wednesday - Steaks with sweet potatoes and green beans, frozen from 2010's garden yield.
Thursday - How about leftovers? I have a chicken-and-wild-rice soup portion frozen, as well as one or two bowls of beef stew, and I imagine we'll have at least one portion of chili and/or jerk chicken in the mix by now.
Friday - Whole roast chicken with roasted broccoli/cauliflower and carrots. I'll make stock and soup from the carcass next week. If this doesn't pan out (you know, if I forget to thaw the chicken), I'll make a soup with the broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower instead.
Saturday - The H's company holiday party at a restaurant/bar downtown.
Happy New Year, everyone!

By Thalif Deen, Inter Press Service, June 17, 2009
UNITED NATIONS, Jun 17 (IPS) – When a Western diplomat was asked whether his country would be represented by a head of state at next week's U.N. summit meeting on the global financial crisis, his response was tinged with sarcasm and contempt.
We will send only our note takers," he was quoted as saying.
In diplomatic jargon, "note takers" are equivalent to glorified stenographers who religiously take down everything said at a meeting but have no authority to intervene or take decisions.
The decision to hold a U.N. summit on the global economic crisis was taken by all 192 member states – by consensus – at an international conference on financing for development held in the Qatari capital of Doha last November.
The participants at next week's summit were expected to be "at the highest political levels", meaning heads of state and government.
But Western nations have apparently backed out of the decision which they themselves took in Doha.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, an Asian diplomat told IPS: "The Western states are trying to undermine the meeting by sending low-level representatives."
"The reason is obvious," he explained. "The West feels the General Assembly is not the appropriate forum to discuss the global financial crisis."
"They think the crisis belongs to the World Bank, and more importantly, the International Monetary Fund (IMF)," he added.
Asked if there were any Western heads of state or heads of government scheduled to participate in the summit, Enrique Yeves, spokesman for the president of the General Assembly, told IPS: "None from the West."
But there are around 30 heads of state and government (out of 192), mostly from developing nations, who have confirmed attendance, he added.
"We (will) have a strong presence of Latin America and the Caribbean – especially from the Caribbean, we have several heads of state and government coming," Yeves said. "We'll (also) have a good attendance, I've been told, from Africa and Asia."
"And then, as they have already been said in public, the developed countries, especially the Europeans and the United States and some others, have indicated they might not be represented at the level of heads of state, but certainly at the level of ministers or whoever is the chief of delegation," Yeves added.
The summit meeting of the General Assembly, due to take place Jun. 24-26, was originally scheduled for Jun. 1-3.
But delegates wanted more time to negotiate the draft outcome document that will be adopted at the meeting.
The negotiating process on the document has been painfully slow and is expected to continue till the eve of the summit next week.
After consultations with the various regional groups, the president of the General Assembly, Father Miguel d'Escoto Brockmann, the organiser of the three-day summit, decided to postpone the meeting from the original date to next week.
Meanwhile, there have been several stories in the mainstream media, quoting Western diplomats as saying they are very unhappy with the left-wing agenda of D'Escoto, a former foreign minister in the Sandinista government in Nicaragua.
Asked about this, Yeves told reporters Monday: "But let me – because I have been quoted in some of these articles, as well – tell you what I find strange in the last two or three articles that we have seen, is that we keep hearing these anonymous sources quoting diplomats of the developed countries basically saying that the meeting is not a good idea."
"It's going to be a failure or that they don't think it is going to accomplish anything or whatever," Yeves said. "I would like to make two comments on this particular issue. The first one, it is very difficult to discuss anonymous sources because, you know, we don't know who said what, and in what context."
"However, the president (of the General Assembly) speaks for himself – or I speak for myself – on the record all the time, and our record is very clear."
"And the second part that I wanted to say is on substance," because the criticisms are strange, because the summit, and the entire process leading to the summit, have been approved by consensus by all 192 member states," he said.

The nature of Evolution: Selection, Inheritance and History
"I am persuaded that purely natural selection appears to have been the primary although not exceptional suggests of modification." ? Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species
Why do modern-day individuals show various options than our extinct primate ancestors such as Neanderthal? And why do some species prosper and evolve, why other folks are pressured to the brink of extinction? Evolution is definitely a difficult strategy that manifests greater than time. Darwinian natural choice and Mendelian inheritance are significant reasons to our knowing of it. The existence of evolution is evidenced by historical fossil documents which is observable in trendy days at the same time, as an illustration, with the evolution of antibiotic resistance of microbes. Evolution could be the system of adaptation of a species around time so as to outlive and reproduce. What roles do choice and inheritance play?
Charles Darwin is just about the founding fathers of recent evolutionary idea. His highly-respected exploration summarized in 'The Origin of Species'6, postulates a battle for survival and purely natural range, in which the fittest organisms survive additionally, the weakest die. The competitiveness for limited methods and sexual replica below impact of ecological forces develop natural and organic collection pressures, where exactly essentially the most adaptable species, often referred to as 'the fittest', will get fitness gains above the mal-adapted and outcompete them by these suggests. The health of the organism could be described with the genuine amount of offspring an organism contributes, with regards to the volume of offspring it is actually physically disposed to contribute.1-4 An often-cited instance is the fact that from the evolution of long-necked Giraffes from shorter-necked ancestors. As giraffes are feeding in the leaves of trees by stretching their necks to reach them, it's obvious that a longer neck might possibly be useful in the wrestle of survival. But how can these adjustments occur in the first place? It is as a result of mutations that variability is launched into a gene pool. Genetic mutations can alter the genotype and phenotype of the trait including the size of your neck of a giraffe. Mutations really do not arise as a response to all natural assortment, but are somewhat a steady incidence." Pure collection could be the editor, rather than the composer, of your genetic information."5 But not all mutations lead to evolution. Characteristics like a remarkably lengthened neck is generally handed on from father or mother to offspring about time, making a gradual evolution from the neck duration. Individuals that take place to always be effective for survival and therefore are simply being chosen on, are handed on and will persist from ancestors to new descendants of a species.
As Darwin has noticed: "But if versions useful to any organic and natural being do arise, assuredly people today therefore characterized could have the best quality chance of getting preserved inside wrestle for life; and through the good basic principle of inheritance, they are going to deliver offspring similarly characterised. This principle of preservation, I have named to the sake of brevitiy, organic and natural Range." six For this reason, only when collection tension is placed on individuals traits, do genotype and phenotype versions result in evolution and predominance of specific qualities.7 This is the sampling approach based upon discrepancies in fitness-and mortality-consequences of these qualities. Genetic variants are also able to take place as a result of random genetic drifts (random sampling) and sexual range. But how will these mutations lead to evolution? The genetic variation have to be hereditary.8, 9
Inheritance of genetic variation is an additional crucial thing generally acknowledged as a buyessay.net/essay-writer driver of evolutionary forces. To be able for evolution to take location, there should be genetic variation inside personal, on which healthy (and sexual) assortment will act. Trendy evolutionary idea could be the union of two important believed systems of Darwinian assortment and Mendelian genetics. 8 The discoveries of Gregory Mendel in molecular genetics have mainly displaced the greater ancient design of blended inheritance. Consistent with this design, the filial technology signifies a set signify of your parents' genetic product. Then again, with modern-day comprehending, this might render evolution implausible, as being the vital genetic variation might possibly be shed. Mendelian genetics, in contrast, proved which the filial era preserves genetic variability by substitute alleles which might be inherited, one of which can be dominant around the other. Thus, offspring manage a established of genetic alternate options of the peculiarities on the mums and dads during the form of alleles. The influence of Mendelian genetics for the evolution with a population stage is expressed in the Hardy-Weinberg Principle', in accordance with the get the job done of Wilhelm Weinberg and Gotfrey Hardy. 8 Two alleles on a locus symbolize two possibilities into a gene. The Hardy-Weinberg equation is: P^2 +2qp + q^2 = 1 P^2 and q^2 will be the frequencies in the AA and aa genotype from alleles A together with a of a gene, respectively as should always equal 1 or 100%. P often is the frequency belonging to the dominant, q from the recessive allele. They decided various variables as critical motorists to impact allele frequencies within the gene pool of a population. The manifestation of evolutionary forces are usually expressed over a molecular amount as being a switch of allele frequencies in a gene pool of the inhabitants through time. These variables are genetic drift, mutation, migration and variety. The principle assumes that allele frequencies are and stay at equilibrium in an infinitely large inhabitants on the absence of these forces and together with the assumption of random mating. 8 Allele frequencies in a gene pool are inherently steady, but improve in excess of time because of the evolutionary factors integrated on the equation. The gradual accumulation of these on molecular degree bring on evolution, observable as speciation gatherings and evolution of species (genotype, phenotype).
Modern evolutionary theory comprises completely different mechanisms through which gene and genotype frequency are impacted and how evolution normally requires put through time. The two important motorists of evolution are organic and natural assortment and therefore the hereditary nature of genetic mutations that affect conditioning. These establish the manifestation of allele frequencies of a number of traits within a population around time, thus the species evolves. We can easily notice the character of evolution every single day, when noticing similarities amongst fathers and mothers and offspring also as siblings, or by the big difference of recent individuals from our primate ancestors.

In Las Vegas last night the best yet presidential candidate's debate, the sixth people standing behind their lecterns pledged a stand against the illegal immigration occupation. However, all the Republicans remained somewhat tough-tied, when it comes to an overall coherent agenda that could resolve most of this nation's illegal alien issue.
As in the statement by the pro-sovereignty organizations and restricting of legal immigration NumbersUSA site during this deep recession: The plan is simple, reasonable and equally achievable. Any candidate on the platform could win the hearts and admiration of millions of voters, including the tens of millions of Tea Party members by adopting this plan and learning to articulate its worth.
This is a five step plan, to each of your favorite presidential candidates, which should include current President Obama. By going to NumbersUSA website you can study each grading for each potential personage. On the grid, you can click on any photograph to access the contact information.
1. By securing the border as addressed in the 2006 Secure Fence Act, which Michelle Bachmann outlined in the debate.
2. A goal of reversing illegal immigration.
The federal government's goal relating to illegal immigration should be to reduce the number of illegal aliens in our country, over a period of time and in an orderly fashion using every means possible. Representative Lamar Smith's LEGAL WORKFORCE ACT" is a great beginning and should be mandatory act.
Halting illegal immigration as it now, isn't enough. Securing the borders as it is now, isn't enough.
The US authorities have to affect 20 million plus foreigners, to return to their homeland. So instead of America becoming an importer of people, we have to append more resources to de-magnetizing the attraction and become a net exporter of illegal immigration annually.
A conscientious approach to illegal immigration would seek to craft a program, a number of illegal aliens who leave the country annually greater than the number who enter the country--annually. Experts who study these policies judge that we could attain a net outflow between one million and two million per year by implementing or enhancing a handful of procedures that are already known to be effective, and in fact are largely premised on existing law. Namely:
- turning off the jobs magnet by requiring workplace verification of legal status (i.e., requiring all employers to use the existing but not-yet-mandatory program known as E-Verify); Waiting for a floor vote, but held back by some Republican politicians.
- turning off various other magnets such as in-state tuition, drivers licenses and birthright citizenship;
- Building an effective, physical fence on the Mexican border; The 2006 Secure Fence Act planned as a double layer fence, stretching the majority of the border, with the top lined with concertina razor wire. Between fences a no-man's land for use of mobile Border Patrol units and military troops.
- deploying a reliable check-in/check-out system for visitors to the United States (i.e., fixing the current program known as US VISIT); and
- Enforcing existing deportation laws to perhaps double the effect of current enforcement.
These five measures alone should reduce our illegal alien population by half in less than six years. Let us consider each measure in turn.
Turning off the jobs magnet.
By far the most significant means of reversing illegal immigration is to stop illegal aliens from holding jobs. Without jobs, most illegal aliens will find it difficult to support themselves and will return home.
Candidates would do well to endorse House Judiciary Chairman Lamar Smith's Legal Workforce Act (Bill H.R. 2885)because it accomplishes more than required E-Verify for new hires and sets up systems for identifying and firing illegal aliens who have obtained jobs with stolen identities. If you want to free fax, go to NumbersUSA or please call Washington at 202-224-3121 and ask for your U.S. Senator or Representative's office to urge action on mandatory E-Verify.

We need to hear candidates pledge as President to fully enforce every aspect of this legislation.
Turning off other magnets.
For the same rationale the jobs magnet should be turned off, so too should all the other magnets. One example is in-state tuition (Dream Act) for illegal aliens. There are others such as the current privilege of not paying for health care in hospitals. The biggest, however, is birthright citizenship: the granting of American citizenship to a child merely because he or she was born here, even if to illegal alien parents. The later is by far the costliest taxpayer support mechanism, as misinterpreted in the 14th Amendment.
Building an effective, physical fence.
Effective, physical fencing along the Mexican border (i.e., a wall where that is fitting, or a double-fence with a barrier road between the fences where that is appropriate) is a well-established and bi-partisan idea. Congress has already authorized the building of an effective, physical fence along about 700 miles of the 2000-mile southern border. Building that 700-mile stretch of fence is a good start. An even enhanced policy would build 1,000 miles of effective fencing encompassing the entire 800-mile ground border between San Diego and El Paso, plus another 200 miles of the most desirable river border in Texas. As a practical matter, most experts believe it is not necessary to fence the entire 2,000-mile southern border, but that theory can be tested over time. If 1,000 miles of fencing proves insufficient, we can build more.
And to be effective, fencing must have the appropriate level of Border Patrol and detection technology.
Deploying a check-in/check-out system.
30-40% of illegal aliens first enters the United States on legal visas and then overstay. Although Congress authorized a check-in and check-out system in 1996, no President has fully implemented it. It isn't working and so we need an efficient method of tracking foreign nationals. The current US-VISIT system, for example, makes virtually no effort to have the 45 million foreign visitors each year check out. And Congress exempts most Canadians and Mexicans. The problems with US-VISIT can all be fixed without undue expense or genuine controversy.
Enforcing existing deportation laws to perhaps double the effects of current enforcement.
Deportations reduce our illegal alien population directly. They also discourage illegal entry into the United States in the first place, and they encourage illegal aliens already here to leave voluntarily. As of now, we deport less than 4% of the illegal alien population each year (despite 100% of that population being legally eligible for deportation). Under current policy, large numbers of people who are identified by law enforcement as probable illegal aliens are never placed into deportation proceedings. THEY WALK! And large numbers of those who are subjected to proceedings and ordered deported abscond or are otherwise allowed by the federal government to avoid their deportation orders. A President could perhaps double the number of illegal aliens who leave the country as a result of existing detection without any change in law by Congress by increasing cooperation between local law enforcement and the feds, by reducing the opportunities for illegal aliens to abscond after deportation orders and by requesting that Congress provide more funds for ICE agents, immigration judges and detention capacity.
WE NEED AN ALERT CONGRESS TO RECOGNIZE ILLEGAL ENTRY AS A FELONY, MAKING FOREIGNERS HESITANT BEFORE ARRIVING THROUGH WHATEVER MEANS? 2 to 5 YEARS IMPRISONMENT WOULD BE AN INSTANT DETERRENT TO THE ILLEGAL ALIEN INVASION.
Something is seriously wrong with our immigration enforcement, so somebody needs to tell the general public the truth for a change? HOW COME THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, ERIC HOLDER AND JANET NAPOLITANO CAN PICK AND CHOOSE THE IMMIGRATION LAWS THEY WANT TO ENFORCE? SO WHY IS IT FINE TO INTIMIDATE STATES THAT ARE TRYING TO SAVE TAXPAYER MONEY THROUGH INITIATING POLICING LAWS? BUT THEN THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE DOESN'T PUNISH CALIFORNIA, AND OTHER SOFT LIBERAL STATE AUTHORITIES THAT ARE PROHIBITING CITIES FROM MANDATING E-VERIFY. WHEN GOVERNORS, MAYORS, POLICE CHIEFS AND OTHER OFFICIALS TAKE IT UPON THEM TO UNDERMINE THE LAWS ON THE BOOKS, THIS IS ADVERSE TO THEIR OATHS OF OFFICE. THE WASHINGTON DC MAYOR HAS PROHIBITED LAW OFFICERS FROM INQUIRING S PERSONS LEGALITY IN THIS COUNTRY, JUST AS CALIFORNIA'S SPECIAL ORDER 40 FOR YEARS AND IGNORING THE "RULE OF LAW".
This spreading illegal population problem will stop over time and the $113 Billion Dollars, taxpayers spend to subsidize these people.

Pimpin' someone else's blog
CHBM's weekly writing prompt was a surprise this week. Instead of a usual "answer this question" prompt, they sent us on a scavenger hunt of sorts. Like the meme where you hit "random" on your Ipod and then put the song titles into some order, like the soundtrack of the movie of your life. Only not that. Not at all. So just ignore that.
So why am I thinking in musical memes? Probably because I'm about to answer one, thanks to Joy's blog.
Joy is no stranger to me. In fact I "see" her on the intarweb almost every week when Tracy and some other wild women participate in an open thread during American Idol. When AI was on three days a week? Let's just say the laptop almost got hurled out the window because our internet connection in the living room sucked. Plus, I was running out of money trying to keep up with the wine drinking.
Wait. This isn't supposed to be about me and the drinking problem I don't have.
Back to Joy's blog. Because it's a good one. Besides having a deep, disturbing love for reality television and pop culture, Joy also has a brain. A smart one. That she's using right now to make sense of this mommy-blogging world we visit so often. She (and a few other women) are actually studying this phenomenon, and thinking about the implications and exclusions and "oh it's all so high school" accusations. And they're seeing what a lot of us are seeing: it's NOT like high school. There are some pretty amazing people out here on teh intarwebs, and sharing our stories is creating a real community.
So check her out. And see what she's doing. Join in. Tell her I sent you.

I can't believe it took until I was 24 before I bought my first Models Own nail varnish, or that I spent much of my first quarter century thinking it was an excellent plan to pluck my eyebrows into oblivion. Similarly, my latest make up discovery is something that most proper cosmetics junkies have probably been aware of for a while, so please bear with.
The revelation in question came to light when I was chatting to a bona fide make up expert colleague, who used to work for a beauty mag and is therefore my go-to resource for advice on all things cosmetic. She is also one of those organised people who has a desk containing everything you could ever need. Seriously, it only takes one person to shout out their need for chewing gum/wet wipes/tampons/a spare fork across the office, and she is there in a flash with the desired product after fishing it out of her superbly tidy desk drawers.
On this occasion, it was nail varnish remover I was after, on account of having to go to Graduate Fashion Week that evening and not wanting to turn up with chipped polish (Daphne Guinness was going to be there and I'm sure she can sense any shambolic talons within a 50 metre radius).
Organised colleague produced the Bourjois Magic Nail Polish Remover which I have read so many positive blogger reviews of but never actually got my arse into gear and bought – I can back up all the previous cheerleaders of this product and confirm that it does do the job nicely.
What I didn't realise – and what beauty guru colleague informed me while I was dunking my fingers – is that Bourjois is in fact the baby sister brand of Chanel, and that, in her words "the pretty much pump the same product into different bottles."
Now obviously there are differences, but essentially this means if you buy a Bourjois foundation for a tenner, you are largely getting the same technology and ingredients as you would in a Chanel one but at least four times cheaper.
Coincidentally I heard the same theory later that day while watching a video about "Top products under £10" by on of my favourite beauty journos, Sali Hughes – you can see it here.
Armed with this new knowledge, I obviously had to pop out in my lunch hour and make the most of yet another 3-for-2 deal (cheers Boots) buying Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation, Translucent Smoothing Primer and a pot of their famous Blush. Will report back on whether I can feel the designer quality oozing out of them!

Wet your hair, apply and scrub the shampoo, rinse and that's it?
The stylist Ian Florey says that if you wash so your hair is wrong, there is an essential step you are not performing: repeat the process.
Many people see shampoos instructions, apply, rinse and repeat, as a way to make us use more product, but according to Ian Florey it is essential to apply twice the shampoo without sulfates.
Underline until you wet your hair, apply and rub the shampoo, rinse, re-apply and rub the shampoo and rinse one last time is the essential trick to turn the hair, leaving it "much stronger, shiny and healthy" according to Quotes the Independent.
Of course the effect is not immediate but, according to the expert, in just a few weeks or months the improvements should be visible.
But why should we apply shampoo twice?
In the first wash, traces of dirt resulting from pollution and styling products (wax, gel, foam, lacquer, oil, etc.) will be removed, so you need to wash the second time so that the nutritive properties of the shampoo act directly on the washed hair.

In the past two weeks, our family has experienced a few incidences that turned out to be great teachable moments for our kids to see God's hand of protection on our family.
On Thursday July 17th, we had gone out to run a few errands before eating dinner at Cici's Pizza (which just opened in our area a month or two ago but quickly became our favorite place to go!). As we were driving, we noticed the sky was quickly getting dark and knew a storm was about to hit...and boy did it ever hit! Once the floodgates opened, we were hit with a lot of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning. We stopped at a traffic light on a heavily traveled road and I heard a sound that I can only describe as a "pop". My daughter thought it was thunder, but I said it didn't sound like thunder. I didn't want to turn around and look because we were driving into Allentown and the thought actually crossed my mind that someone may have just been shot! The light turned green and as we started to drive away, my husband commented that the car behind us was pulling off to the side of the road. I then wondered if the person had gotten a flat tire and that's what caused the weird sound. We finished what we had to do and as we came back down the road on the other side, we noticed the car that had been behind us was still off to the side of the road. As we drove past, we noticed there was a car behind that one with the front end all smashed in. It was then that we realized the car directly behind us at the light had been rear-ended, yet they never hit us! On this particular road, cars are usually very close to one another when they stop at lights so we knew that God had protected us. My kids envisioned an angel standing behind our car stopping the car behind us from hitting our car.
On Saturday July 26th, we went over to my parents' house to go swimming. We were swimming for awhile and my husband said "we should get going soon". For some reason, I allowed the kids to continue swimming for awhile longer. When we did finally get ready to leave, my mom said the kids could have some muffins she had made that morning. I didn't want them to eat them there since we hadn't eaten dinner yet, so I told them to pick which kind they wanted (she had made blueberry ones as well as chocolate chip) and I'd put them in a bag so they could eat them later. Micah couldn't decide which one he wanted, so my mom finally said to just take what was left (there were four...just enough for each of us!). We were just about to leave and my dad stopped us and said he wanted to give us some blueberries so I could make blueberry pancakes (since Sarah made a comment about wanting me to make them and I said I didn't have blueberries to make them with! LOL!). So we finally got going later than we wanted to, but we quickly discovered it was no accident that we had experienced those "delays"!
We had only driven a few minutes when we came upon an accident that had happened just minutes before. The police and rescue workers weren't even there yet! There were 2 cars involved...one car had an older woman in the driver's seat leaning out of her car with a stunned look on her face. The other car was a jeep. There were at least 2 male occupants that had been in that car. The one was lying face down on the side of the road and the other was walking around with blood all over his face and shirt. I almost got out to see if there was anything I could do to help, but I saw someone already had a cell phone calling for help and another lady was standing in the street directing traffic and telling us to go. I didn't want my kids to see anything that would give them nightmares so we continued to drive.
A few miles down the road, we saw why the police and other rescue workers hadn't arrived at that accident yet....they were already at the scene of another accident!! We had to take a short detour because they had the road blocked, but we came out at a light and could see the accident that had also occurred on the very road we travel home on. We noticed two rescue vehicles were headed towards the first accident we saw, so my kids and I all prayed for the safety of those involved in the two accidents as well as the paramedics, firefighters, and police that were responding to those accidents. This is something we always do when we see an emergency vehicle with its lights and sirens on, although my son usually prays for them even if they don't have their lights and sirens on!
When we finally made it home, I pointed out to Sarah specifically the various delays that had occurred before we left and that any one of those (or a combination of some of them) prevented us from being involved in one of those accidents. I then told Sarah a few stories of some close calls I have had in my life and when I was done she said "Now I KNOW God is real!" I couldn't help but smile and thank the Lord for His protection, and how it enabled me to teach my children more about God.

The Battle of Olot
I have always found wargaming a Spanish army to be a real challenge.
It's not too bad if they have a limited objective, and it is a one off game. They usually end up running away, which is fine from an historical point of view. And indeed if they were to defeat a similar sized French army it would seem odd.
But as part of a campaign it becomes an even greater challenge and particularly a PBEM like ours where one player only has a Spanish army to campaign with. I am very aware that a series of defeats is likely to result in a sharp loss of interest in the campaign.
So I have tried various ways to enhance the ability of the Spanish army. They have two guerrilla bands to cause disruption of the French lines of communication and provide intelligence.
I have also increased the size of the Spanish army from four corps to five, and the addition is a British corps. So they outnumber the French. I had hoped that this would move the balance to their favour.
However a Spanish army has to consist of mainly low quality troops, and poor commanders. A numerical advantage in infantry and artillery does help, but only if the luck is on the side of the Spanish. Once one brigade fails their morale and runs, nearby brigades are likely to join the rout if they are poor quality.
I had great hopes for our latest Spanish v French battle. At Olot three French corps attack three Spanish, but the latter have a fourth corps within four hours/game moves. So they only had to hold for four game moves.
The Spanish had a good defensive position, with lots of hills to hide behind and keep them safe from French artillery. The French attacked, took the right hand hill with ease, and routed the Spanish defenders into the reinforcements arriving behind them. The game ended in seven of the twelve moves.
So back to the drawing board!

Man Utd 1 Swansea 1 - Battling Swans Deny Referee The Win
Sunday, 30th Apr 2017 15:06 by Planet Swans (follow us on Twitter @swansnews)
Gylfi Sigurdsson struck a perfect free kick towards the end of the game at Old Trafford today to earn the Swans a point that had almost be denied them by yet another shite piece of refereeing that had threatened to give the home side a win.
Quite what went through Neil Swarbrick's mind just before half time when he gave a penalty for a dive by Marcus Rashford is anyone's guess but it just sums up a season where refereeing decisions have been some of the worst you could ever expect to see in top flight football.
Rashford had made his decision to go down long before he even got close to the challenge from Fabianski that television replays clearly show not to have been a foul despite the actions of the Man Utd player. Swarbrick thought (well, probably not but you know what I mean) long and hard before pointing to the spot for the foul after a first half where the Swans will have considered themselves very unlucky not to have been at least one goal up.
Wayne Rooney scored the penalty but it was the injustice of it all that will stick in the throats of the Swans fans who have been the victims of so many bad decisions this season.
You could argue that justice was done when Sigurdsson scored his perfect free kick but when you consider that the home team's goal should not have been there then justice could only have been done had the Swans taken all three points.
And had Llorente made any kind of contact with a Sigurdsson free kick towards the end of the game then that justice would have been served and the travelling support given what a real team effort had deserved.
But it was not to be and we have to be content with what remains a good point in our battle towards safety, leaving us two points behind Hull with three games to go of which two are at the Liberty.
The weekend could though have been so different and is really a tale of two penalties - the one that should never have been today and the one that was missed at St Mary's yesterday.
To a man today though we battled for it and could have been excused if the heads had dropped at half time. Fernandez for me was a rock at the back but he was not alone in putting in a superb performance and three more games like that are just what is needed and we have the capability in those games to get the points we need.
But we do also need the right decisions to be made as well and we can only hope that the incompetence in the official ranks has disappeared by our next game

In the time of King Herod, after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, 2asking, "Where is the child who has been born king of the Jews? For we observed his star at its rising, and have come to pay him homage."3When King Herod heard this, he was frightened, and all Jerusalem with him; 4and calling together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Messiah was to be born. 5They told him, "In Bethlehem of Judea; for so it has been written by the prophet: 6'And you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for from you shall come a ruler who is to shepherd my people Israel.'" 7Then Herod secretly called for the wise men and learned from them the exact time when the star had appeared. 8Then he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, "Go and search diligently for the child; and when you have found him, bring me word so that I may also go and pay him homage." 9When they had heard the king, they set out; and there, ahead of them, went the star that they had seen at its rising, until it stopped over the place where the child was. 10When they saw that the star had stopped, they were overwhelmed with joy. 11On entering the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother; and they knelt down and paid him homage. Then, opening their treasure chests, they offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. 12And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they left for their own country by another road.
The day had grown short and it was dark and with only the light shining in the east they set out from the comfort they knew. But it was time to leave. They set out because of the event foretold. They travelled with little direction hoping they might arrive at the place spoken of. But they went astray and did not land where and they had expected. The directions were solid it seemed according to their charts and maps…but they arrived later than expected but they finally arrived. Some doubted and ended up calling before they arrived…others ended up going north, then west, then finally east. Some ended up in Peterborough…wait a minute…Peterborough in the Middle East?
Wait this is not the story of the Magi, travelling East in Luke's gospel arriving late after the birth of Jesus. This is about a group of travellers who left for the open house fundraiser for refugee support at our home. Some were lost, some arrived early, some came later, some never made it, some surprised us by arriving when we did not know they would come. But we all came together to a feast of food, light and community to benefit strangers preparing to leave their country to come to us to start new.
And the group gathered were not all church people from DFUC…there was extended family, and card party friends of my in-laws, and neighbors and child hood friends and some of our friends and even people new to us. But this night we gathered under one roof and we shared food and drink and marvelled at the lights and décor and shared stories and hopes and dreams. It was like a little community unto itself this night.
And we all came with our own individual life stories and faith paths for one purpose…to help people we had never met come from a country we had never visited…because our hearts told us it was the right thing to do.
And this night we heard stories of people who had gathered with joy…and some with hearts weighed down by worry and pain. And yet every time a knock came to the door…my father-in law jumped to action to greet and take coats and another directed them to a set and offered food and drink as they joined in the conversation. And my heart leapt as a young child arrived to bury herself in hugging me and then opened her hands and gave me $1.10 to help support Teame and Amine our refugee brothers. And the gospel story of the women giving all she had came to life.
People moved around and mingled and spoke to one another and reconnected or made new connections and went up and down stairs entering new conversations. And all of a sudden I realized the Magi story had come to life…Magi came meeting shepherds and local villagers and the Spirit of Mary, Joseph and the child…yet you could not tell who was who because we were them all this night.
This night Luke's story had come to life…a common story had gathered us from everywhere and hospitality was exchanged by many people. The weary traveller was greeted and brought into shelter. Stories were shared…both spoken and unspoken. And the star or the light that bought them here would lead them back out the door.
And people ask me…was that gospel story real? These gospel stories will always be real when we place our story in the midst of the story being told and unfolded and lived. These gospel stories take on real meaning when we open ourselves to the journey. There will always be travellers and the choice to welcome them or not, to offer food and shelter and a chance to share their story. And epiphanies can happen…in the awakenings on the way to and back to our homes, awakenings in the stories spoken and shared and listened to…and our faith path can be found and rekindled. This is how the stories of the gospel stay real. So follow that star you Magi and Shepherds and Innkeepers and feisty prophets and be like those who dare look heavenward and dream. And who dear even more to be foolish and set out and follow a star shining so brightly in the sky.

Generic EpiPen Will Likely Secure Profits For Mylan
[...] Many customers are still likely to use the branded products once the generic is released, because copay discount cards and other assistance programs Mylan provides may make the branded drug cheaper, or the same price, for customers. However, the company is still likely to make money from the insurance companies and government payors covering the rest of the drug's price, Sachs said.
"The perception is if you can go for the Tylenol rather than the Safeway equivalent, and they are the same price, people tend to go for the Tylenol. They think it's better," said Sarpatwari. "There's a certain element of counting on this coupon being available and used. So Mylan is taking in less from the consumer but they're not giving any discount for the payor." [...]

Dropped by two school supplies store on the way to work this morning. I needed new black pens – and I needed to feel good. At this part of the semester, the mere act of buying pens already makes me feel productive.
It's a feel-good purchase. I needed one from all the self-loathing resulting from the incapacity to complete tasks on time. This habit's costing me – literally. Good thing, I've managed to dissuade myself from visiting the bigger supplies/book store in a mall about 45 minutes away. Who knows how many gel/marker/sign pen variations they've got on stock. It'd be an expensive visit.
On the positive side, I've stopped acquiring more notebooks – because they're getting ridiculously more expensive. Who spends five hundred pesos for a not-even-acid-free paper? They usually have a clothed hardcover with unattractive prints – and they sell it for five hundred to a thousand?!
Frustrated with the price of notebooks, I've focused on pens. They're more practical feel-good purchase. Relatively, that is.

We weren't totally satisfied with the chili recipe we made last time, so Rachael and I decided to try a different one this week. Because it also happens to be fall, and that is objectively the best time of the year for such things, we picked out a pumpkin chili recipe.
Here's how it ended up looking:
Pretty, right?
If you want to make it yourself, here's the link to the recipe.
Modifications are thus: I only used a single chopped, seeded jalapeno for heat, and the end product was still plenty spicy (I'm seriously considering cutting it down to half a jalapeno). You can cut the heat with some crushed crackers or a bit of sour cream. Also, because I made this on my day off (being a school teacher does have some advantages), I decided to make the chili in a crock pot instead of cooking it on the stove. I might recommend browning the turkey before putting it in the pot if you do it this way, since I had to pull the meat out halfway through and chop it by hand, but besides that oversight, crock pot chili is remarkably easy in comparison to the cooking directions in the recipe. Total cook time was probably about seven and a half hours on low heat.
One way to use the leftovers that Rachael pointed out to me is that you can serve the chili over a bed of lettuce with some crackers or corn chips and have a pretty good taco salad.

"Because he was born on the cusp between Cancer and Leo—which is to say, drawn on one side to the hermit's cave, on the other to centerstage—he both craved the familiarity of a private, personal domestic space and loathed the idea of being fettered by permanence or possession. At least astrologers would attribute the ambivalence to his natal location. Someone else might point out that it was simply an acute microcosmic reflection of the fundamental nature of the universe."

Saving the World...
I'm off this morning to volunteer for Team In Training, at the Nike Women's Marathon. If you've ever wanted to run a marathon (it was on my list of things to do before I die), TNT will train you, coach you, map out your goals, show you how to eat, lift weights, stretch, which shoes to buy, etc. In return, you raise between $1500 and $4000 or so for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. It's a pretty awesome program, and when I did my marathon last year, you wouldn't have believed how many runners were wearing a purple TNT shirt OR how many people on the sidelines were waving purple TNT signs and ringing bells and cheering us on. So many people affected by these cancers. So many people doing something about it. If you want to do something about it too, come on by the tent! Or see if there's a LLS office in your town.

On our second full day, we woke up and decided we no longer had any excuse not to leave the resort, so we went for a 'little stroll' down the main road. It was blisteringly hot, but pleasant walking under the shade of palm trees, often showered with droplets from a hotel sprinkler. The hotels in Cancun are HUGE – I've never seen anything like it. It's how I imagine Las Vegas to be – just one sprawling complex after another, all beautiful and grand, lined with palm trees. It's really pretty.
However, it's also really tiring, and we didn't particularly know where we were going. I started to get grumpy, craving the pool and a cold diet coke, so after we'd stopped to pick up yet another pack of Pringles (why do foreign countries do so many nicer flavours of Pringles? I'd swap Ready Salted for 'Spicy Chicken Wings' or 'Pizza' flavour any day) we decided to head back. Not by foot though. We got the bus.
The bus experience confirmed my belief that certain countries should perhaps not have been allowed access to motor vehicles. Firstly, the bus itself appeared to be held together with duct tape – the petrol cap swung open merrily, the exhaust pipe clattered along the dry, dusty road and smoke billowed from some anonymous source worryingly near the engine. We got on dubiously, Ian in front of me holding out the money. The bus driver frowned, looked down and searched for change – but this didn't stop him from kicking the bus into life. We lurched forward into traffic before the door had even shut behind me – I flew into a seat, not entirely of my own accord, and Ian hurriedly followed me, choosing life over his change. The bus driver raced another bus down the two lane road, overtaking, then changing his mind and swinging across into the left lane, stopping so sharply that I nearly fell off my seat.
This, it turned out, was a standard Mexican bus experience. The bus drivers appeared uninterested in how much the journey cost and simply took whatever you gave them. On a number of occasions the buses we took seemed to break down, but were kicked back to life by their ineffable drivers and puffed their way to their destination. It was…an experience!
Once home, somewhat traumatised and exhausted, we thought we'd have a quick swim before lunch to wash the dust off.
A really friendly American woman offered to take a photograph of the two of us - something I also think should be more prevalent in the UK!
Afterwards, we decided to order lunch – just a small snack, we thought. We ordered chicken wings and nachos from the starter menu, and some chips as a side…and this is what arrived.
Just a small mountain of nachos, ten chicken wings, more nachos, salsa, a bucket of chips and some gravy boats filled with sauce. YUM.
We spent the afternoon recovering happily on the beach. The hotel staff were so friendly and happy to bring drinks to our loungers.
We even took a dip in the sea (although the waves somewhat defeated me, which amused Ian!)
Finally that evening we caught a taxi (we'd had enough buses for one day) to the part of Cancun that houses it's famous bars and restaurants. We ate in Chilli's – huge portions again of quesadillas, in my opinion the greatest food invented – and had a few drinks, before heading to a local bar.
Where they appeared to have replaced traditional drink options with washing machines filled with cocktails!
We had a few drinks before things started to get a bit blurry!
It was an amazing day and we still had so many more to come… look out for part 3 tomorrow!

Blogs and Web design
Do you know what the importance of web design on your blog?Then, how to create a blog of quality? With content, of course. But only the content is not enough to win readers and pageviews. The design is very important for that.A design of high-quality undoubtedly help a blog, but obviously there are other factors which play an important role. While the design can help or harm a blog, it certainly will have much less impact over time than the quality of its content. The readers of blogs like to a cool design, but the content is what really keeps the readers assiduous. Then, when you are designing a blog, you should consider a great number of factors such as accessibility, usability, color theory, theory of how, marketing, advertising, layout, printing, HTML, CSS, as have the user to understand the site, create maps of sites, representation (on paper with pencil), editing of images, web standards, label web, news on the Internet, web technology etc.
Marketing is another important factor for the success of a blog. Some bloggers spend much time, effort and money in promotional efforts and some others create the content and hope that others do the advertise of them. Regardless of which is the marketing strategy chosen, gain exposure and receptivity, links, references and comments is important. The charging time of the page is also important.When a visitor visits your site for the first time, the impression is formed very quickly. A good first impression dramatically increase the chances that the visitor back again as a negative first impression is difficult to be modified.
The design of the blog can help or harm to emphasize or not its content, easy to read the texts is the key. To the visitors appreciate the content, the design should emphasize it and not distracted the readers.
The design of the blog can help or harm to emphasize or not its content, easy to read the texts is the key. To the visitors appreciate the content, the design should emphasize it and not distracted the readers.
Then, if you will create a blog be sure to use everything that you need to know about blog and design.
And remember, follow the standards of the W3C is essential to ensure the success of any website today.

its becoming a habit..
i fell..
i became happy for a while..
then the hurt of seeing him with another..
i move on to forget..
and i fell again..
happiness that seems to last..
only to realize that it was just a dream..
he already has someone in his heart..
so i'm trying again to move on..
and so the cycle.. a habit..
questions.. that my sane mind don't want to entertain..
but in a time like this.. i can't help myself..
i only want one thing.. and yet, i can't seem to have a hold of it.. :(

gone curvy.
It may not look like much, but this is my first attempt sewing anything but a straight line using Agatha. The first lines were sweeping curves until I got a little braver and started making tighter ripples. Friends, I'm stoked. Agatha can handle curvy lines, meaning I can get on with quilting the pinwheel quilt. (Yay!)
Oh! And that blue and white blanket underneath? Handsome Assistant Numero Dos has joined our ranks! (Meaning, I have no idea when I'll actually get around to quilting the pinwheel quilt, but that was sort of to be expected.)

Arm Hammer Carpet Fresh Eliminator
Minty mojitos, sweet pomegranate, warm apple pie, freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, sweet vanilla.
Dogs don't smell like any of the above, especially my beagle.
Weekly baths help de-funkify my beloved pet, but homes with a dog need Arm and Hammer Carpet and Room Pet Fresh Odor Eliminator. I like to sprinkle it all over my carpeting, leave it for a day then vacuum it up. It may cause a few sneezes but that's to be expected. The outcome is a home that smells as fresh as a field of flowers on a warm spring day, and I often picture myself running barefoot through the field. Sometimes I just run barefoot all over my apartment yelling 'Weeeee!' because it's so fresh, but then I trip, bash my face into a wall and end up in the emergency room with a broken nose.
So heed my advice and buy this rug powder. But don't run into walls out of excitement; no carpet freshener is worth a broken nose.
Get your Arm Hammer Carpet Fresh Eliminator Now!

Hungry, Hungry, Hungry
It's no coincidence that I embarked on my recipe binder adventure at the same time I entered the second trimester of pregnancy. I am officially into the hungry stage of this baby-making journey. I think about food. A lot.
I've spent hours and hours leafing through (drooling over) food magazines, tearing out any and every tantalizing recipe. Thank goodness for my generous friends, women willing to feed my voracious recipe habit. My food binders are shaping up quite nicely. And I still have a lovely stack of magazines to sort through.
So tonight I am faced with several options ... Should I cut into the yummy fabric I purchased last week? Will I crack open that new book on potty training? Or would I rather sort through a few more recipes?
I think I know which activity will win out. This is the hungry stage, after all. ;-)
