Firth and Massey top Singletrack 6 teams
Canmore's Jon Firth and teammate Dax Massey celebrate winning the open male team category at the conclusion of the Singletrack 6 mountain bike race on Thursday in Revelstoke, B.C.
Last week marked the first go around for the multiday Singletrack 6 mountain bike stage race, but Canmore's Jon Firth already knew what it would take to conquer the event.
A seven-year veteran and one-time champion of the Transrockies stage race that preceded the Singletrack 6, Firth topped the competition alongside teammate Dax Massey in the open male team category and came second in the individual Enduro portion of the inaugural event.
Held over six days, July 26-31, the event saw riders take on an unprecedented amount of singletrack trail stretching from Kananaskis to Revelstoke, covering 255 kilometres. Firth and Massey covered the distance in a total of 14 hours 53 minutes 52 seconds.
Firth also grabbed second place in the Enduro timed descent portion of the race, clocking in a time of 28:41 over four timed sections throughout the duration of the race.
Firth and Massey experienced a rough start to the race, with Massey crashing hard in the first stage, taking a headfirst dive that cracked his helmet and bent a wheel.
"On the first day my teammate tacoed his wheel. We had to take it easy to finish the first day and we finished the day off and had to get a whole new wheel set up for his bike. We were pretty lucky to get through the day. He had a pretty big crash," said Firth.
"Luckily that was day one so we were able to battle back and put some more time on the Swiss team that was behind us.
"Working with a partner you have your highs and lows. If one guy's not on top of his game that day, you've got to help each other out.
"There was a couple days where my partner was not feeling too good; you've just got to work and push through that stuff."
Firth's knowledge and experience in stage races made a significant difference in keeping himself and his teammate strong as the days progressed.
"We kind of got stronger as the week went on. You just have to keep it in your mind that it's not a one-day race. You need to save your body, and after each stage you're already worrying about the next day," he said.
"The minute you're done you're fuelling for the next day. If you do that then your body just gets into a rhythm. It's all about taking care of yourself, really."

I hate losing squads and I miss the cover and retreat mechanics.
Watching the DoW3 shit makes me OCD anxious because everything just stands in the open and dies.
It looks to be: Build big blob. Shift+A move across map until blob dies. Build a new slightly higher tech blob. Repeat.
How is that engaging strategic gameplay?
Dow2 is fun but its pretty much company of space marines, and lacks the massive epic feeling of warhammer tbh. Not day 1 buying this but if the game isn't horrible I'll pick it up eventually.
Strong counters and soft counters.
Large maps that allow for flanking
no mining
The major change is to do away with building units and teching while instead concentrating on the core tactical gameplay.
> @Varcaus no mining
Mining to me is the Starcraft version of build base, extract minerals. The resource gathering by map control that CoH has is such a huge change that I don't classify it as mining.
Tanks: theBlind[URBAD] (in my heart there will always be a place for [FAIL])
Planetside2: [UBAD]theAngelic
Not to be confused with the other kind of mines, which are very important to CoH.
I played a bit of closed beta (not on mine).
It's.....actually not bad.
Still looks cartoony as fuck, but the graphics are nicely crisp and easily identifiable in manic fights.
Still only 3 races (which is serious bullshit)
New cover system is way less cool.
The game actually plays quite nicely, and is fun.
I am conflicted now. I have moved from "lol, nope" to "maybe".
That said i do have over 9000 games in my steam library i have never played.
My one saving graces is i tend not to preorder stuff, no point with steam thesedays.
Ill probably be up for some custom game testing action with FHC brosefs over the weekend.
lobby seems to keep failing for whatever reason. MM so stable.

We enjoy visiting places bizarre, unusual, or otherwise noteworthy. Last year we made it a point to visit Mike's Chili Parlor as featured on Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives.
We just learned of the Food Network Show 101 Tastiest Places to Chow Down which promises to "take you on a non-stop, coast-to-coast, mouth-watering tour of the 101 absolute best places to get your grub on in the country." Donna's friend recently visited Tony's I-75 Restaurant where he dined on the BLT made with one pound of bacon.
We'll print the list and keep it in our black box full of items to reference. Who knows – maybe we will find a gem we just can't resist.

The resulting film paints an intimate portrait of a performer who always kept his personal life private as he strived to raise public awareness about some pretty important issues.
In addition to criticizing the white minority South African government by means of his wildly popular character Evita Bezuidenhout, Uys has also rallied to raise AIDS awareness in schoolchildren though what he calls "AIDS Awareness Entertainment," and continues to speak out against what he refers to as the "new apartheid." Passionate performance footage contrasts deeply personal autobiographical segments in order to give audiences a well-rounded impression of both the man and his mission.

The programme for the 66th Edinburgh Film Festival launched earlier this week, and it seems to promise a return to form for the festival.
Essentially Chris Fujiwara, the festival's Artistic Director has reinstated everything the festival decided to drop in 2011. So welcomed back are the Michael Powell Awards for Best British Feature; Cineworld as a venue; A Closing Gala Film (Brave); Best of the Fest screenings at the end of the festival for £6 a pop; Ticket Deals; and a return to 100+ feature films (compared to 63 in 2011).
All in all, it feels like EIFF is pulling out Men In Black's neuralyzer and attempting to make us forget 2011 ever happened. Something I think most regulars at EIFF are all too happy to go along with.
The programme itself is also typical of what we came to expect from Hannah Mcgill's reign as festival director (2007 – 2010). A pleasingly international mix of documentaries, shorts and feature length films to get your teeth into. A few stars pepper the festival's films, including Clive Owen (Shadow Dancer); Robert Carlysle (California Solo); and Mark Cousins in his latest feature since the excellent The Story of Film, What is this Film Called Love?. The trailer for which you can see below:
Nevertheless, EIFF like every great film festival is about taking risks on directors and actors you have never heard of. However, the problem is always deciding between so many new directors, and even entire countries, from which you may never have seen a single feature. Thankfully Fujiwara has a simple yet brilliant solution.
You see, in addition to each of the normal Strands, including Black Box (experimental films), Philippine New Wave, and Films on Film (Films about filmmakers and filmmaking); there's also Pathways, a way of dividing the programme into genres and themes.
Like the sound of American black comedy God Bless America? Why not check out the equally strange Rent-a-Cat from Japan, both in the Played for Laughs Pathway?
If Teenage Kicks coming-of-age stories are more your thing, you could go with Taiwan's lo-fo sci-fi Young Dudes, followed by the Typhoon Club, as part of the Shinji Somai retrospective.
All in all it feels like the festival is back on track and almost certain to be a success. For one thing, smaller film festivals like this matter too much to the residents of their cities for them to fail.
I hope I speak for other cinephiles in Edinburgh when I say the joy of a festival like this is not so much watching great films (which we have the chance to do at the Cameo and Filmhouse all year round); but the opportunity to spend time with people just as passionate about films as we are; whether they are making the films, writing about them, or chatting in bars and pubs afterwards.
Everything that's great about being a film fan comes together at a film festival. I look forward to seeing you there!
As normal, tickets are available from the official website. They sell at £9/£7.50 each, but you do get 10% off if you buy 8-12, and 20% off if you buy 13+ so it's worth booking together with friends to take advantage of these discounts.

I made this super cute Valentine's gift box with the new Window Box Die, Sealed With Love stamp set and the Love Notes Framelit dies from the Occasions catalogue. I also used the Layering Circle Framelit Dies from the current Annual Catalogue. I loved how it all came together and it was very easy to put together. Below I have a video tutorial of how I made it.
I used Real Red Ink and Momento Tuxedo Black Ink for the sentiment.
The box is a pretty decent size and makes an excellent gift box as well as a wedding favour or party favour. All you need is different colours and embellishments and you are good to go. Keep your eye out for some new creations with the new Window Box Die.
My video is a long one as I have not only made the gift box, but I also have a tip for mounting your clear blocks with the image sticker on as well as a haul of all my new goodies. So grab a cuppa, relax and enjoy!
Thanks for coming past and I hope you have enjoyed today's tutorial. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.

Last week my husband decided to take me on a date. We went for a nice long 2 mile walk across the River. It was so nice to just talk, take pictures, and enjoy my son and husband. I love how patient my husband is while he waits for me to take pictures. The sunset was so beautiful, I kept stopping to take pictures! I needed to practice my landscape photography. I have a feeling my boys will wait for me a lot in the future. And I'm so blessed to have them support my photography.

Attacking the Darkness!
Mayor Bosh
Mayor of Sovol
A man in his late 40s, nearing the end of his prime. He's slightly overweight, but not fat.
The bloody days of Mayor Percival Bosh are behind him. A simple man, he took up the blade years ago to defend his family against the Mighty Grimace from the Eastern McD'Nald Swamps who threatened the local town. While no one really knows what happened in those caves, in the end It was Percival bosh, a farmer, a father, a husband who returned to the surface sans armor dragging the oversized head of the fearsome, purple beast. Bosh's face, horribly transmogrified, no longer resembled the face of the man the town knew, but there was no denying the gentle soul. When asked of details of the battle, he simply stated that he had done what needed to be done and was content to retire to a life of honest work exchanging his sword for a plow sheer. Yet the people never forgot his bravery and in a few years time, when his community once again had need for him, he traded his plow sheer for a pen. Stoic and demure in manner, he rules with a gentle benevolence, as a true voice of the people.
Recently, it was discovered that he himself had a hand in the recent pollution of his land. When confronted, he claimed it was a necessary evil to protect his town. Before he could be further questioned, he escaped on his horse.

Cheer 2x Ultra bright CLEAN Fresh Clean Scent
I definitely would say Cheer is a good product but a little on the pricy side. It cleans and freshen clothes with a lasting fresh scent. My clothes were soft and bright. I try this product because I received a coupon and I used my local store coupon that had a very good value. However, if I would not have received the coupon would I buy Cheer again, I don't know. Maybe not…, If I can get the same results using a lesser priced brand than I go and do where my money goes the furthers.

Wow. I have been really bad about posting lately. That's what happens when I'm busy at home AND at work. No time, no time! Oh and you can blame Alexa for giving me a 100 books to read. I know Travis is a little less than thrilled about that. ;)
Aiden seems to be recovering from his ear infection nicely. We will have another three days of antibiotics left, but he is no longer walking like a drunk man and doesn't cry every 10 minutes. That's a serious improvement in my book!
Aiden has made some language advancements lately that are SO FUN. He just started pointing at things and saying "uh dat". I'm pretty sure that means "what's that". His favorite items to point at are lights and fans. I'm thinking he might have a slight fascination with electrically-run things, like his father. Ha! Most of his words at this point are his personal jargon. I can tell what he's saying because I've learned that he uses them at certain times or places. And I think that 'mama' and 'dada' are taking on actual meaning to him. Wahoo!
This weekend was tiring, but much better than the last two. No fevers or sickness. THANK GOODNESS. I had gone up to Alexa's house on Thursday to go through some books she's getting rid of (nesting has officially set in at the Ramby's), so I had a lot to choose from this weekend. So on Friday, after Aiden went to bed, Travis went out to mow the lawn and I decided to take it easy with a book. It was amazing. I love resting. Sometimes I forget to do it and then have to remind myself to chill out.
Saturday morning, we went to the beach first thing. We were only there for a couple hours. Aiden would have enjoyed more time there, except it was nap time so we had to head home. I am so excited Aiden had fun this time. He kept walking back into the water. It was hilarious because the waves would throw off his sense of balance and he was constantly falling in the direction the waves were moving. I wanted to sit down and have a snack for a moment, so I got out a shovel for him to play in the sand. He loved that too. Best part for Mommy was he didn't try to eat the sand. We'll have to get him a sandbox soon!
Travis and I drove separately, so he could go to work. There was a fundraiser run on the beach and his company had been asked to set up the lights the day of, and then take them down the day after. Saturday was the day of, so he and a co-worker made three trips to carry the lights and a generator and set them up. Unfortunately, his co-worker lost his keys, so they had to wait for a friend to come unlock the van. When the keys weren't in there, they called a locksmith to make them a key.
When they were finally finished around 6:45, the woman running the show asked if they would stick around to turn on the lights at 7:30. Travis originally thought he'd be home in the afternoon. Ha! Anyway, while they were waiting to turn on the lights, the EMS arrived. The sand on the beach was really soft, so he didn't want to drive down onto the beach. He said that if someone more capable would drive it down, he'd be okay with that. He just didn't want to be the one to get it stuck. Travis jumped at the chance to drive an ambulance and he loved every minute of it. Of course, he got it stuck 10 feet from the wet sand. A gas-powered golf cart was all it took to help them out of the soft stuff.
Travis came home electrified. No pun intended. Or was it?
Sunday morning, Travis left to pick up the lights. Aiden and I played out in the yard with the water table (I put bubble bath in it this time). The best time of day to go outside at this point is first thing in the morning. So that's what I try to do with him every weekend. To give you an idea of what we're working with, right now, at 8:52 in the morning, it is 84F (cooler than normal actually) with 85% humidity, making the heat index 97F. It wouldn't be so bad if it cooled down at night. But it doesn't. It feels like this all day long. Well, I guess it gets worse from noon to 4pm. Hooray for Texas summers.
Sunday was my dad's birthday. He got his gift just in time on Saturday, but saved it to open ON his birthday. I talked to him for a while in the morning. Travis got back in the afternoon, just in time to get Aiden up from his nap and feed him his snack.
We played inside with Aiden until it was time to bring him to the babysitter's. Sue, the babysitter, asked that we bring him by more often so he could get used to her. I think it's working because he didn't cry at all this time. She also said that this was the best visit they'd had so far. I'm sure it helps that he's not sick this time, but either way I am glad. Travis and I took a few hours for adult time and went to see Inception with some of my work friends. I thought it was an excellent movie, but you really have to pay attention so you don't get lost. It had one of those endings that leaves you wondering what it meant, instead of just telling you outright. Normally that annoys me, but this time I'm not sure.
Travis and I have realized that we really like Leonardo DiCaprio. He always does great movies. Part of that could be that he always chooses to work for great producers. Or they choose him? Not sure, but I do know I like his movies. I'll have to remember that...

My friends Jill and Angie threw an over the top, amazing Halloween party last weekend. I was completely blown away at the decorations. Their backyard was turned into a Halloween extravaganza. Everything from the music and decorations to the sugar cookies and prizes were perfection.
Tyson and I are pretty lame when it comes to finding Halloween costumes. We always seem to be coming up with something last minute and rushing to my friends Brittney's house to find something to wear. This year we decided to be Granny and Grandpa Parker. Brittney had saved all of her grandma's clothes, jewelry and slippers. Tyson rummaged up some clothes from his parents closet and got one of his great grandparents walker/toilet seat out of storage for me.
I couldn't even look at Ty without laughing. His front hump about did my abs in. He even played the part the entire night. He fell as though to break his hip and would shake every time he tried to spoon his soup in his mouth. He also pretended he couldn't hear what anyone was saying. It was too good and a nice look into the future!
All of the couples outdid themselves. I loved seeing how creative everyone was. My favorite being the Walmart door greeters. There was also Great Gatsby, a cloud and lightning bolt, Despicable Me, nerds, cops, robbers and so many more. I guess we better start planning for next years costume, so we aren't left scrambling .

For a fresh graduate, the words "You are hired" or "Can you start working next week?" is like the sound of coins in a cash register. It is music to the ears. Para kang tumama sa lotto dahil sa wakas may trabaho ka na. However, accepting a job shouldn't be as fast as a blink of an eye.
Okey… You are probably raising your eyebrows now. You might be mumbling there already that being hesitant in a job offer is a big NO-NO for a fresh graduate or for someone in a great financial need. Well, you are DEAD WRONG. Ooops… Let me remind you, you are reading a maldita's blog so expect some attitude here. Anyway, it's not actually rude to delay your decision regarding a job offer. Take Note. Your future lies in your hands. You have to choose wisely.
So, in order to help you in the HUGE DILEMMA of your life, I got here some things that you should take into consideration before accepting a job offer. These shall serve as your guide. Dahil din dito, magagawa mong makaiwas sa mga abusadong employers.
* Company Stability and Reputation
Do your research. Know the profile of the management and company where you applied. Are they registered in the Department of Trade and Industry or Security and Exchange Commission? Is the company competitive in its industry? Discover its achievements too. In this way, you'll know if you will be secured if you accept the position you applied for.
* Well-Specified Job Description
Nowadays, lots of companies love to hire fresh graduates. Why? Because these individuals are easy to train and most of them are so obedient that they don't complain whatever is aked of them. THIS IS NOT GOOD.
I know a friend who works in a BPO company. She earns the minimum wage (maybe quite above now but still not enough) and handles/does more than what her position requires. Yet, she is still therenot complaining (maybe because of FEAR).
To avoid this scene, read the job description of your position. Try to memorize it. If you see things that seem too much for the job (words like "multi-tasking") then think a hundred times before you go for it. Remember, once you've made a wrong move, it's hard to get out.
* Friendly and Healthy Working Environment
Definitely, you've been to the company where you applied during the interview so it is safe to assume that you already have a fore-taste of the atmosphere. It will always be to your advantage if you observed the office. Look around you. Are the people friendly? Do they look happy in their work? Is there room for professional growth and healthy competition? Check if you would be able to blend in the crowd. The place and the people (office and colleagues-including management) are vital factors that help create successful individuals.
* Competent Compensation and Benefits
Last but definitely not the least factor to consider. The compensation offered to you reflects how the company sees your worth. That's why never settle for something that is 'just okey'. Remember the cost of living we have at present. You should be guaranteed by the company that whatever talent or service that you'll be exerting is well compensated. Not only that, mandatory benefits should also exist. Maraming companies ngayon ang hindi nag-reremit sa SSS, wag sana kayo mabiktima. Kung biktima na kayo, matutong magreklamo, di naman masama ipaglaban ang karapatan nyo. So keep in mind to check your benefits.
If you're done with all four, now you're ready to accept or reject that offer. Never regret your decision coz at the end you'll realize, at one point it has always been what you wanted. 🙂

Hacksaw Ridge (D. Mel Gibson)
Mel Gibson is, rather famously, a devotee of a brand of right-wing Catholicism (that no one believes has subsumed mainstream Catholicism), which is a rough equivalent of the Protestant Fundamentalism which is now supposed, by all the best people, to have subsumed mainstream Protestantism. This may have been why he was drawn to the story of Desmond Doss, a Seventh Day Adventist who, as a WWII conscientious objector, became one of that war's great heroes in a manner very different than Alvin York, the conscientious objector who had been a great hero of WWI.
Whatever Gibson's reasons, I'm not sure he was the right person to tell this story.
Or, to put it more directly, I'm not sure that the Mel Gibson who has been striving mightily these last few years to get back in Hollywood's good graces, was the right person to tell this story.
Mind you, what is here is good. It punches all the buttons a non-Christian audience would expect to have punched and a few that folks who don't mind a little Christianity might expect as well. The acting is good (especially by Andrew Garland as Doss and Vince Vaughn as his hard-ass sergeant). Gibson's direction is mostly crisp and unfussy, only straying when he reaches here and there for inspiration (artistic, not religious, though if you can't find one, it's unlikely you'll find the other). And the principal action scenes, which follow Doss as a medic who, without benefit of a weapon (which he refuses to carry), delivers body after wounded body from a nightmarish no man's land which has opened up between Japanese soldiers and American G.I.s during the brutal fight for Okinawa, are tense and moving. The movie even ends with snippets from a documentary about the now-deceased Doss, in which he and some of the seventy-five men he saved confirm bits of the improbable story we've just seen and it makes for a lovely, understated coda.
But I found the movie more than a little disappointing for what it did not do, which was depict Doss as a man of a specific faith that must, by its very existence in a believer's life, transcend any secular notion of redemption or honor.
That is, it does not really seek to understand the one really important thing one would expect from a director who has previously worn his religiosity so explicitly–one might say garrulously–on his sleeve.
Namely, why religion?
And why this particular religion?
That Doss is a man of faith is pounded home, you might say, religiously. But the source of his faith is shown to be not divine inspiration but, via a flashback that comes near the end of the film, a mere extension of an "event" of the sort which is common enough to have led men in a host of different directions (one such man, Bill Clinton, even went into politics). In other words, Doss's particular conviction is shown as his own choice and a choice of convenience at that–an option among therapies that one can forgive a Virginia hillbilly for not recognizing as a crutch in a time and place where shrinks were in short supply.
As any believer knows, though, your choice is only half the equation. The part where God reaches out His hand (which must be at least as familiar to Seventh Day Adventists and Opus Dei Catholics, as it is to, say, Baptists like myself) to offer the sinner a redemption he could not otherwise hope to find, is curiously missing.
Back when Hollywood was principally in the business of telling stories, they knew better. Watch Sergeant York, Ben Hur, The Robe, The Nun's Story (the latter three made by Jews who escaped the Holocaust, Ben Hur by a man whose family did not) and, whatever one thinks of them, they all acknowledge the primacy of the hero's (or heroine's) conversion. Having had a dust-up with your old man in your teenage years, however horrific the details, does not explain an unarmed man's willingness to defy an order to retreat from one of the most hellish battlefields man has ever created on God's earth, so that he can rescue the wounded.
For that, you probably need to have seen the light.
Obviously, the light itself can led different men down different paths. Desmond Doss won his Medal of Honor for saving men, Alvin York won his for killing them. My father, who hailed from the same part of the woods as Doss's western Virginia and York's east Tennessee, was sent to a firefighting unit (a more normal assignment for C.O.'s, even those who, like my dad, had their status rejected by the draft board) and shortened his time after VJ day by volunteering for psychiatric experiments. Then again, he didn't really see the light until the late sixties when he rejoined the faith and wound up becoming a missionary.
So it goes. But one thing all three men could have told you is that the story of a Christian without reference to his specifically Christian conversion is a story with a hole in its center. Without that, Hacksaw Ridge is just a well-made war movie and amounts to little more than Mel Gibson's self-conscious (and, to all appearances, successful) attempt to get back in the good graces of a Hollywood which seems now willing to forgive his anti-Semitism, racism, misogyny, et al, just so long as he doesn't pretend those crazy Christians are motivated by their Christianity (as opposed to seeking "comfort" within it)–that any acts of heroism they may have committed are coincidental to their faith, as opposed to a feature.
Hacksaw Ridge is hardly without value–if Casey Affleck really is the competition for Best Actor, and really is going to be bypassed for his Clintonesque sins, my feelings would not be hurt if Garfield won it instead.
It's just not what it might have been if Mel Gibson had found forgiveness for his own real sins and put his heart back in his chest where any true believer knows it belongs.

If you are looking for a "Peace of Maine", plan your next vacation at this comfortably furnished home overlooking the active Pemaquid Harbor.
The interior is fresh and welcoming, with a bright kitchen that has a view spectacular enough to make cooking and even washing the dishes a vacation treat. The bright and spacious living room offers comfortable furnishing with panoramic views of the water. The media room is equipped with a flat screen TV monitor with a DVD player and XBOX 360 with Kinect connected to high speed internet for those rainy days.
A large deck faces Pemaquid Harbor and is the perfect spot to relax in an Adirondack chair and watch the boating and lobstering activities on the harbor, or to catch a beautiful sunset. A well-tended lawn surrounds the house, with annual and perennial gardens in bloom during the Spring, Summer and Fall seasons adding to the charm.
You are about a mile away from the jewel of the Midcoast, the Pemaquid Beach, with its wonderful white sands. A short drive will bring you to Pemaquid Point and its historic lighthouse or to Shaw's Lobster Wharf or the Pemaquid Lobster Co-op for the freshest possible Maine Seafood. Nearby Damariscotta has everything you want: farmers markets, shops, galleries and a variety of restaurants.
We had a perfect week at "Peace of Maine." The house was roomy enough to comfortably accommodate 6 adults. We enjoyed the large deck and ate many dinners outside. The kitchen is well-stocked, the linens are plentiful, and the furnishings are lovely. The water view was a constant source of pleasure. We will definitely return!
Again, thanks for your beautiful cottage. We truly had a wonderful time.
"Peace of Maine" is lovely. The house is well furnished for visitors, and the water view is beautiful. We really like the area. It's private but easily accessible to several good restaurants and interesting shops. We highly recommend the house on Pemaquid Harbor.
We come back to this area every fall from Arizona. It is a great escape from our "Warm" summers. Your place was just great. It was very clean & comfortable. We hope to get back there again next fall.
Jim & Cheryl
We very much enjoyed our stay in this lovely home right on the water. The view is very pretty and the long piers add an interesting element to the scenery which the birds also seem to like. We enjoyed watching the sea birds each day from the deck and saw herons, kingfishers, osprey, cormorants and seagulls. The hammock down by the water was a big hit and provided a very relaxing spot to read.
The neighbors were very nice. The woman, I forgot her name, who watered the plants was very friendly and took good care of the flowers. Being a plant lover I particularly enjoyed the many different planters of colorful flowers which adorned the property. How did you get those begonias by the front door to grow so large and beautiful?
We found the bedrooms and beds comfortable. One of the sleep number beds control units didn't have a working display which made it a little tricky to adjust for those of us unfamiliar with this type of bed. It was a minor nuisance that didn't detract from our overall enjoyment of our vacation.
The kitchen is bright and cheerful and is very well equipped. We enjoyed having different choices about where to eat our meals -indoors or outdoors. It was nice that there were two outdoor tables so that you could vary your view and move depending on the position of the sun.
The house is nicely decorated with pictures and pottery. We found at the nearby craft co-op a little pottery pig similar to the one at the house which we scooped up to bring home as a reminder of our stay. We are already looking forward to returning again to this little peace of Maine!
We are three couples in our sixties and have done an annual trip to Maine for about five years in a row. We always like to stay at different places so we can get a real feel of the coastal Maine.
This cottage was perfect for us. Great location, view and the cottage (really a home) was wonderful. A wonderful central location to so many different restaurants and attractions.
Beautiful bedrooms (we love the ceiling fans), two nice full baths and a kitchen that looks out over the water with everything you would need.
Definitely one of the best places that we have stayed at.
We were so sorry to have to leave this beautiful place! The home was excellently equipped. We appreciated the roll-away bed, the thick fluffy towels and the charming decorations. The neighbors were friendly and helpful. We saw a bald eagle the last morning we were there.
We made many trips to the lighthouse as well as the colonial fort around the corner. We had a wonderful breakfast at the Cupboard Cafe, within walking distance. We had a fun time on the wildlife kayak tour with Maine Kayak as well. Everywhere one looks there is a photographic moment. Provisions are readily available in Damariscotta at a beautiful Hannafords grocery store (including the excellent Wicked Joes coffee) if you miss Trader Joe's in Portland. Be sure to head to Pemaquid Seafood across the bay from the house for the quintessential Maine seafood feast. We had a blast on the Puffin Boat tour out of New Harbor with Hardy Boats. We had 4 groups of guests during our stay and no one wanted to leave. We would return to Peace of Maine and hope too in the future!
This house is wonderful! It's very clean and in great condition. The two upstairs bedrooms share a full bathroom and one has an amazing view out over the water. There is a den with a small tv that can accommodate one or two of the provided cots. The large family room has lots of windows overlooking the water so who needs a television? The kitchen is very well stocked with plenty of pots, pans, dishes, bowls, silverware, and cookware. Everything you need for a lobster dinner can be found there.
Somethings you might want to bring are a portable stereo, camera, and fishing gear as well as plenty of sunscreen and bug spray.
It has no dock of it's own (the ones in the pictures belong to the neighbors) but kayaks could be launched from the shore around high tide. Any other time, there are boat launches just down Huddle Road at both the public dock and by The Contended Soul.
Great bike riding abounds too! Be sure to head over to Long Cove Point Road and visit the tidal pool at the Rachel Carson Salt Flat Preserve.
New Harbor / Pemaquid area attractions:
1. Pemaquid Lighthouse. Perfect spot for a picnic and clambering on the rocks. Listen to the crash of the ocean surf. Climb this historic lighthouse (chosen from among all the picturesque spots in Maine for the back of the Maine State quarter).
2. Pemaquid Beach Park. Beautiful sandy crescent beach, a unique spot in Midcoast Maine. Equipment rentals, changing rooms, bathrooms, showers, and snack bar. Come watch the silvery flecks of mica in the surf.
3. Rachel Carson Salt Water Preserve. A salt water pond named for the world famous naturalist, and inspiration for her books. Excellent for kids of all ages to view the tidal pools.
4. Colonial Pemaquid State Historic Site. Location of some of the earliest French and English settlements in the New World.
5. Around the corner from the Maine Kayak, excellent guides and outfitters for the beginner flat water to experienced ocean paddler. They rent bikes also.
6. Pemaquid is well-known as an artist's colony, hosting multiple galleries and craft coops.
7. Easy daytrips to Boothbay (27 miles driving) with its tourist attractions and the Coastal Maine Botanic Garden and to Camden (40 miles), site of picturesque harbor and specialty shopping and dining.

Fried Chicken Projections.
I was quite happy today when I saw this. In the beginning I couldnt really figure out whats that and why. Only looking closer at his webpage i realised that they are projections of random fastfood cafes around london probably in places where they shouldnt be. Makes you think a little.

Black Desert Online is visually stunning and a game that's showing significant promise and although there's no English publisher as of yet (localisation is in progress) developer Pearl Abyss has released a video demonstrating the games character creation.
Make no mistake, this is a bloody fine character creator. Probably one of the best, if not the best I've ever seen. With the ability to pretty much change anything you wish, right down to your characters eye lashes and facial structure the nearest thing to this is Eve Online. Black Desert coming to the US and Europe can't come soon enough.

The last time we played in the semifinals of the CAF Champions League it was against a team from Tunisia in 2006. It was against CS Sfaxien where we played to a goalless draw at home (Ellis Park stadium) first leg and thanks to Lelo Mbele for missing that clear goal scoring opportunity.
A fortnight later we visited them for the second leg in Tunisia where we lost by an odd goal difference.
Now in 2013, we are playing again a team from Tunisia (Espérance Sportive de Tunis) and we played to goalless draw in the first leg. I'm dreaming or is this history repeating itself?
Are we going there to revenge and amend what happened in 2006?
What are your thoughts Mabakaniya?

I had a feeling I missed writing for an episode and I did lol. Anyways, so I loved the storyline of being "trapped" inside your dream. It was interesting to learn more about Bobby and see how he got into hunting in the first place. I also thought it was cute when Dean told Bobby that he thought of him as a "father figure". So, Dean's dream, more like nightmare, was definitely creepy! It was creepy to see "Demon Dean". I'm glad Dean finally admitted that he's scared though. You know he was but I never thought he would admit it. It was a great episode!
My favorite quotes from Dream A Little Dream Of Me -
Sam: One problem though: we are fresh out African dream roots so unless you know someone who can score some.
Dean: Crap!
Sam: What?
Dean: Bela...
Sam: Bela? Crap!
[as Dean impersonates a police detective]
Jeremy: I had this most vivid super intense dream, like a bad acid trip, you know...
Dean: Totally. [pause] I mean, no.
Dean: Dude, you were out. And making some serious happy noises. Who were you dreaming about?
Sam: What? no one. Nothing.
Dean: Come on, you can tell me. Angelina Jolie?
Sam: No!
Dean: Brad Pitt?
Sam: No. No!

In FCT, hotel owners urge minister to address multiple taxation
Hotel owners in the Federal Capital Territory under the umbrella body of Hotel Owners Forum, Abuja (HOFA), have called on the government to look into the problem of multiple taxations imposed on their members by the three tiers of government.
Speaking during the week at a courtesy call on the FCT Minister, Mallam Muhammed Musa-Bello, the body through its President, Mrs. Bola Onigbogi, stated that the burden of heavy taxation has drastically increased their cost of running hotels, even at a time the country's economic situation was taking its toll on the hospitality industry.
The Forum equally tasked the Minister on the review of Abuja Master Plan on hospitality industry as well as the current rate issued by Abuja Environmental Protection Board.
They also appealed to the Minister to address the issues of land use contravention, tenement rates, multiple hotel registrations as well as their plea for a plot of land on which to build a befitting secretariat.
In his response, the Minister, while acknowledging their plight, explained that FCT administration has already put in place, machinery to harmonize taxes in the territory and reduce the burden of taxations.
He added that FCT Inland Revenue Service was collaborating its federal counterpart to work out modalities for harmonization of all taxes in FCT. While pledging to address other complaints brought before him by the Forum, the Minister cautioned against paying taxes into private accounts as taxes belong to the government.
The President, Mrs Onigbogi, however maintained that in spite of its numerous challenges, HOFA has continued to champion a worthy cause in the operations and growth of hotels in the Federal Capital Teritory.
"Our aim is to provide a platform that enables members to meet and share ideas, experiences, identify challenges and proffer solutions to these problems", she stated.

While raising a number of valid concerns about the external assessment of PhDs in the UK, Chris Hackley seems to take consumer sovereignty beyond its limits (if it is indeed appropriate to education at all).
In effect, he suggests that PhD external examiners should pass the theses submitted because of the fees students have paid, the time they have spent and the effort they have made. Alternatively, externals should withdraw from the process in the hope that even more generous examiners may then be found.
This view seems to be partly based on the assumption that supervisors have deemed their students' "work to be worthy of examination", as Hackley puts it. In my experience of many institutions in the UK, supervisor approval for the submission of a thesis is not a requirement and cannot be assumed. Indeed, with pressure on completion rates, students effectively must submit before (typically) four years, regardless of how their work has progressed.
Nevertheless, this freedom does help to ensure some protection from dependence upon supervisors and their own prejudices and patronage, a freedom that is not always so evident in the European systems that Hackley favours, regardless of their other advantages.

We have had a pretty tough week. I guess these things happen every now and then.
We had planned to travel 150kms to Wrocław to a conference yesterday. In fact we had been planning to go for two weeks. But somehow everything seemed to go wrong. The first ominous sign was that all the maps on my GPS became corrupted. The kids were ridiculously disobedient as we were getting ready (partly explicable by the fact that they had had bad colds for all last week and haven't been sleeping properly). It was so bad that as I was walking to the car (only 45 minutes later than planned) I was praying to God "God, if you don't want us to go, then give us a sign!" Then the sign came: the car wouldn't start; the battery was dead. My wonderful wife (who was strangely annoyed) tried to get the help of one of the other drivers in the car-park, but no-one was willing to help.
And so we didn't get to go to Wrocław.
|The view from my balcony this morning. Yes, the bird is plastic.
The Bible says that 'all things work together for the good of those who love Him' (Romans 8:28). But sometimes it doesn't make sense.
So instead of going to Wrocław we stayed at home; the kids played (mostly nicely); Jola dragged me to the shops to buy some winter shoes; I got to read some more of my book and think about NaNoWriMo.
Sorry that this is not a very positive post. I guess we all come under clouds from time to time. But every cloud has a silver lining; so here's hoping for a very silvery next week (a bit like the blue skies that I can see outside my window at the moment)

*Apparent lively day*
27th February, 2010, was rather quite lively that Alex Chan, Ming Sui, an rare player and a new guest attended the Japan Club.
*First duel with Ming Sui*
Another young talent of Malaysia at the age of 20 (2010), who is now studying in Klang, has not attended Japan Club for years…Grabbing this chance, Xinwen request a duel with Ming Sui.
*Issues in San-rensei*
Figure 1 (1 – 12)
White played at keima approach 12. It is also possible for White to play lightly at a, or invading directly at b. Due to the fact, C is available for later digging purposes.
However at this point, it is quite difficult to judge (Xinwen's opinion) whether White 12 is good move because of existing tengen and excellent framework of Black.
*is Black thicker or White profitable*
At this stage, White 20 and 22 was light and fast-pace strategy; certainly going for land profit instead of development for future. However in figure 2, Black touched up with the exchange to thicken the wall was favoring for Xinwen (Xinwen likes thickness).
Then an invasion at 32 for White. After White dug, White had hard time to live in the center ended up resigned.
Xinwen's opinion regarding the game is that, White was quite rash in destroying the moyo but not in a good way.
Certainly, playing go, you may keep it simple – crazy stuff comes later (Middle to Yose).

Zen Tigre (???? - 2007)
I got Zen in March of 2002. I went to the ASPCA with the intention of getting a cat. They have this gigantic display window with about 15 cats meowing, purring, jumping, and playing. In the middle of that mess there was this fat cat sitting on a yellow pillow like the sphinx. Cats were walking around him, jumping over him, trying to get him to play... but he just sat there as calm and content as a cat can be. He had a busted ear, and a busted tooth, looked like a prize fighter who's best days where behind him. A prize fighter who was happy to just not move, not think, not run or train. So Zen he was. My girlfriend at the time had a niece who insisted on calling him tiger (fairly lame name for a domesticated cat) so I compromised and gave him a last name of Tigre. Never knew how old he was, cause all the adult cats at the ASPCA were 4 years old.
He was on the lazy side. The only toy he consistently would play with was a superball. I'll be finding them around the apartment till I leave, I suppose. He was a big pig, spent a lot of time begging me for table scraps. Had to put him on a diet. The cat actually liked to have his belly rubbed, not common in cats I've had. The only time he purred for the first year I had him was when he had dental surgery and received morphine. Purred like the Cheshire Cat that night. When I had to stick him into a cage to take him somewhere he'd whine and drool as if he were a Saint Bernard about to get a meal of fillet.
I remember when I was watching a friends dog for a while, Zen was scared at first. But slowly he realized he... and his claws were in charge. So he'd sit in the middle of a room and wait for the dog to approach. Then he'd unleash a fury of punches with his claws. When my friend came to get his dog, the dog had the molted end of a claw jammed into his skin right above his eye.
Well that's all, he died yesterday. Goodbye Zen Tigre.

3rd January 2017
If you are persistent, you will get there, if you are consistent, you will stay there.
I had the tastiest beef slow cooker stew yesterday afternoon, it was lush, I'd had it in there for hours and hours on low and there always a bit too runny when done in the slow cooker so I added a couple of teaspoons of bisto gravy granules and voila, perfect grub. So good that I had another bowl which became my tea so I didn't have to eat anything else afterwards.
Today I'm focusing on what I can and will do, our brains don't understand can't and won't or don't, it just hears what we're thinking, I was reminded of that when listening to that book on Sunday. Think about it if I tell you not to think about a pink elephant in a spotted tutu dancing round a room saying bubbles whilst trying not to smile... What ya thinking? What colours the tutu?
Which means if I spend this morning thinking today I won't drink wine when I've finished work tonight, all I'm thinking about is not drinking the wine, all my brain hears is drinking the wine! Mmm that'll be why every day for the last 2 days when I've said that to myself, I've failed. Instead I'm going to try thinking when I've finished work tonight I'm going to enjoy a nice hot drink in one of my nice new mugs or a glass of pop in one of my nice new glasses. Let's see how that works out then shall we.
Let's focus on the 'can do' too, okay today I can have a decent breakfast because I've got up early, I have the ingredients to make it too, I'm thinking a repeat of yesterdays big English or something easier like a BLT, ooo yeah I think so, then for lunch I can have egg, chips and peas, I know mom will enjoy that too, then for my dinner when I get home, I can finish off the stew - sorted. See I can do those thinks. I can also take my bags of old clothes somewhere at lunchtime once my cars empty. This afternoon I can do some computer work, get on top of things and maybe I can have a little start to sorting my office, today I can do the desk top.
Focusing on I can will get more done, if you want someone else to do something for you whether it's one of your kids, a friend or colleague or if you're the boss one of your employees you're not going to get very far, telling them what not to do are you! Of course it wouldn't, imagine saying to someone, I don't want you to go to the shops for me, nor do I want you to clean my windows, or tidy the house and then getting annoyed when they haven't walked your dog for you when that's what you wanted them to do all along. Ridiculous! Yeah?
I'm not interested in what you or I are giving up, I'm only interested in what you're going to do, either changing to, continuing or taking up. So another thing I'm going to do today is go for a walk and get some fresh air, whether that be with Alfie and/or on my own.
What are you going to do today? What will you do? What can you do? These are the questions I'm interested in hearing the answers too. No matter how small a step it is, make it one in the right direction, it might be as simple as drinking a big glass of water, carrying a bottle of water round with you, eating a piece of fruit, adding at least one vegetable to every meal. Ooo what else can you do? What of those can things will you do?
Instead of focusing on what you can cut out of your life, focus on what you can have more of, what do you want or need more of?
More sleep
More tea
More time
More moments
More laughter
More long walks
More love
More sharing
More hugs
More gratitude
More sitting in front of open fires
Now to work on getting or doing more of those things. I'd add more cooking to my list, I do love to cook and now my kitchens back to tidy after Christmas I can, so I'm going to get the ingredients to make 40 clove of garlic chicken recipe, I really fancy that, I did some roast garlic yesterday and mixed it with low fat yogurt and a bit of salt to make a dressing to lubricate a sandwich, I didn't use it in the end because I had the second bowl of stew but I will, it made me fancy making the recipe though.
Yeah either tomorrow or Friday I will make it, nom nom, I'll switch to a counting day then. Right I'm off to get ready for my first meetings of 2017, here's to another year of helping others get healthy & happy and celebrating success. Have a happy Tuesday BeYOUtiful, I intend too, oh and here's the recipe if you fancy having a go too, it's heavy on the points but can be tweaked to be less, lush served with lots of green veg, plus mash if you have a few points left.
Chicken with 40 cloves of garlic Serves 4, 13sp each
2 tbsp regular olive oil (9sp) 8 chicken thighs (skin on, bone in) (42sp)
1 bunch (about 6) spring onions small bunch fresh thyme
40 garlic cloves (approx 3-4 bulbs), unpeeled 2 tbsp vermouth or dry white wine (1sp)
1½ tsp sea salt flakes or ¾ tsp pouring salt Ground black pepper
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Heat the oil on the hob over a high heat in a wide, shallow, ovenproof and flameproof casserole (that will ultimately fit all the chicken in one layer, and that has a lid). Sear the chicken, skin-side down. This may take two batches, so transfer the browned pieces to a bowl as you go. Once the chicken pieces are seared, transfer them all to the bowl.
Finely slice the spring onions, put them into the casserole and quickly stir-fry them with the leaves torn from a few sprigs of thyme. Put 20 of the unpeeled cloves of garlic (papery excess removed) into the casserole, top with the chicken pieces, skin-side up, then cover with the remaining 20 cloves of garlic.
Add the vermouth (or white wine) to any oily chicken juices left in the bowl. Swill it around and pour this into the casserole. Sprinkle with the salt, grind over the pepper, and add a few more sprigs of thyme. Put on the lid and cook in the oven for 1½ hours.

Love Is …….
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails…." 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8
I have been pondering love a lot lately. I think it comes with the territory when you have soon to be 2 year old grand-twins, two grandsons under age 5 and are at the beginning of new relationships. Love is an immense concept. Well worthy of deep pondering. So why does it flood your mind with sweet nothings? When I hold my sweet grandchildren my heart and mind turn to sweet mush. I just know it makes me feel good inside.
I John 4:16 states that "God is love." If this is true then the passage quoted above helps us define who God is. It seems to me that in the New Covenant God reveals Himself to us in ways totally different from the Old Covenant. Today God is all about love and forgiveness, but in times past it seems that God was about blood soaked vengeance and such. Has God changed? Or has Jesus opened a whole new window to see God through? I think Jesus was a total game changer and His blood purchased for us a new forgiveness and love, the likes of which was never seen before on this earth. But of course Jesus always was and the Father always knew and The Spirit has always revealed. It is just up to us to walk in His love today as we understand Him.
Think about it? If God is love then can we say the following considering 1 Corinthians 13 ?….. God is patient, God is kind. God does not envy, God does not boast, God is not proud. God is not rude, God is not self-seeking, God is not easily angered, God keeps no record of wrongs. God does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. God always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. God never fails..
That makes me think hard about just who God is and I feel that it fits God extremely well. In Christ, God fully opened His life to us and now Grace prevails like it never has before. It makes me draw even closer to God when I know He is not angry at me and He keeps no record of my wrongs. Today I am experiencing love from a wide variety of sources and angles, and this love makes me draw near to Him and walk a better walk towards others. I hope this makes some sense today, but then again I am surrounded in love so who knows? Sometimes love doesn't make much sense, but I know when I am in it. It helps me to remember that the very first thing love is, is patient. So Lord, please help us all to be patient today. We want to run beside You, and not in front of or behind You. Please help us to keep in step with You and Your love all of our days.
Love and….
Kirk Out !
P.s. John Boy's quadruple bypass surgery did not go well. His diabetes has adversely affected his tissues and one of the valves was totally shot. They completed the triple bypass with complications. If John Boy wants to live he will have to take insulin that he has been avoiding for years and stop being his own DR and dietician. He is in stable, but critical condition now.

God the Father judges… the Holy Spirit convicts of sin… Jesus the Son saves… our job is to love.

Wonder if my comment went on the older version .
I get distracted so many times and have to leave my comments .
We sure know God is LOVE . Just look at our children grandchildren great grandchildren. Miracles of so many loving gifts handed down for centuries.
I see how God prepared the way for His Son by teaching, explaining, fighting the pagan countries so Jesus' would not be contaminated by his forefathers but come from a pure line of Christians . It was so important to not mix the 2. Then when Jesus started teaching love one another, forgiveness, help one another, included the Gentiles into his fold, we see fully how deep and precious is God's love for those who are willing to obey His Commandments. Jesus was the perfect one , Gods only begotten son .

Sweet talking about HIS GREAT LOVE…..immeasurable, incomprehensible!….but foretaste of glory divine! Grandchildren❤❤❤ Blessings and tastes of His love for our pleasure. Saw mine yesterday and got much needed hugs and gave them, too,me who's sick, and the grandchild also sick, we just held each other for 20 minutes as the others played around us. The comfort! The encouragement! The tears of thankfulness! Can't express enough how deep love goes…… Thank you, Lord Jesus.

It was brought to my attention that apparently "dump cakes" are on trend these days.
I had no idea what a dump cake was but I intended to find out. And as it turned out, it's as easy as cake-making can possibly get! I thought I'd start with a beginner-level 3-ingredient recipe, which as it turns out, was unbelievably easy! There are no measuring cups or mixing bowls involved, which means drastically reducing the number of dishes to overfill your sink or dishwasher! No muss, no fuss is what dump cakes are all about!
And not kidding, all you need ARE in fact THREE ingredients: Immaculate Baking Chocolate Cake Scratch Baking Mix, your choice of pie filling (I picked cherry only because it pairs so well with chocolate, and seems like a winning combo for Valentine's Day) and butter. Now honestly, how could anything that's made with these three glorious ingredients NOT taste good?
Preheat your oven to 350°F. You don't even have to grease your 13″x 9″ pan, just pop open your 2 cans of pie filling and dump them in evenly. Now I've pretty much stayed away from pie filling ever since I started baking, so you are always welcome to make your own fruit compote from scratch! Just know that the beauty of dump cake is supposed to make things easy for you!
And the dumping continues! Next step is the box of unprepared cake mix. Don't even have to worry about any of the other ingredients as listed on the box. All you need is the mix! Okay, so I'm obviously biased, but I'd say that this is a true testament to how good the cake mix is! Because there aren't really any extra ingredients that the cake mix can hide behind and muddle its way through. The mix has got to be good and stand on its own for this dump cake to taste fabulous. And I'm so proud to tell you that oh yeah, Immaculate Baking has got the right mix!
Finally, here's where things get interesting. Butter makes everything taste better, and we certainly need this little ingredient to bring everything together. I used 1 stick of butter, where I cut slices of butter over the surface, spreading them out as evenly as I could. It gave the end result a nice crunchy layer, almost like a brownie. I have seen other recipes call for melted butter to drizzle over, too. Now pop the whole thing in the oven and bake for 45-60 minutes, and voila, your cake is ready to wow and delight!
Who knew something with so few ingredients could taste this flavorful? And now it's your turn to the dumping, but The Queen's hoping that this is all the dumping anyone will be doing leading up to Valentine's Day 🙂

.....that is the question.
Whether tis nobler to suffer the slings and arrows of Facebook....or ?
Has 'the blog' gone the way of the Dodo ?
I am guilty of neglect, am I the only one ?
Do you blog ....should I ?
Twitter is too much work, myspace is passé, FB is nearing it's 15 minutes of fame.
Is anyone reading this ?
An afterthought 15 minutes later:
None of the above fucking matters does it ?
Life is not about the screen in front of us, it's about what's around us.
Gotta go , dinner smells good.

Day 128: 07 Dec 2010
So here's what I didn't know -- the God of the Skies can read thoughts, but not the thoughts of the living. Having been dead so long himself, he became highly attuned to the thought patterns of the departed -- their souls, essentially.
I'm not sure if the other gods can do the same, and neither is he. They're alive, after all, so it's not like he can read them. But we're heading to Vancouver because of something my long-dead buddy Kevin saw. Kevin, with no hands, still helping us out.
Even being dead doesn't slow that guy down.
