On May 18, 1969, Apollo 10 was launched into outer space. Mission: orbit the moon. The flight was a test run, a crucial last-chance rehearsal leading up to the historic Apollo 11 mission that in a matter of two months only would carry the first people to walk on the moon.
Apollo 10 was the fourth manned mission in the Apollo program and the second to reach lunar orbit. NASA and the Newseum – a Washington,DC-located 250,000-square-foot museum offering visitors an experience that blends five centuries of news history with up-to-the-second technology and hands-on exhibits – will celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 10 mission on its anniversary date, May 18.
Astronauts Tom Stafford and Gene Cernan will participate in the program moderated by journalist-in-residence Nick Clooney. The event is open to reporters and visitors to the Newseum, and will be carried live on NASA Television and streamed on the agency's Web site.
During the mission, John Young piloted the command module, while Stafford and Cernan descended to within 8.4 nautical miles of the moon's surface. Cernan, the second American to walk in space, later would become the last person to walk on moon during the Apollo 17 mission in 1972. Apollo 10's journey to the moon and back to Earth took 192 hours, 3 minutes and 23 seconds.

Earlier today they did a sonogram on the brain to see if there was any bleeding. Often with premature babies there is a high risk of that, but there was none. Her brain looks normal for now. We will still need to test for other problems, but we're ruling out a lot right away.

Karsie is still stable. They are currently putting in a central line to get medicine and nourishment much more quickly. I should be getting word about that soon.

Pictures (WARNING...graphic pictures after the warning signs)
I was lucky to see her eyes open because she was just coming out of the medicine that they want her on so she doesn't move too much, but they said I should take a quick picture w/ her eyes open.
The liquid around her eyes is medicine they put there to help them with the low activity they are getting in the NICU.
The siloh is under the towels. This is the first picture I got. They later removed it when I told them I could handle the blood.

What Happened
Delivery: As far as we can tell the problems happened here. We have not had this explained to us in great detail and officially, but this is how we understand it. Michelle did amazing through the surgery, but there were some abnormalities/complications with the delivery of Karsie. When they were pulling Karsie out her omphalocele sac was stuck to the placenta, so it tore quite a lot and it ruptured the sac which was protecting Karsie's organs. In doing this all of the organs became exposed and suffered severe trauma both on the way out and as they were trying to stabilize her. The liver appears to be the biggest hit organ, which is the most sensitive organ. (A quick word to our friends with omphalocele babies that read this blog, all of the doctors said that this condition is very rare. The placenta, during birth, naturally lets go of everything and if the sac ruptures it almost always happens in utero. Our doctor immediately let us know that it happened and that he had never seen that before. This is not something to be concerned about for your baby. But if you could pray for ours since it did happen to us, we would be forever grateful).
Thank goodness both Reva and I were able to be with Michelle during this process. As soon as Michelle's c-section was complete they moved her into a temporary recovery "room" (with vomiting patients in the "room" next to her). I was told from our perinatologist (the doctor in charge of Michelle and the baby in utero) that things weren't looking good and there were some major complications, but that our neonatologist (the doctor in charge of stabilizing Karsie) would come and talk with us as soon as he could. Reva and I went into the room and tried to gently tell that to Michelle and a short time afterward our neonatologist came in and explained the situation.
He said that there was so much trauma to Karsie that he was doubtful she was going to make it. He explained some of the things I have said already, but told us that she was bleeding so much that they could not stop it. Not only could they not stop it they didn't even know where it was coming from. He said that there was probably no way she would make it. (Obviously we remember things a certain way under a lot of stress, so that might not be exactly as he said it but that's how I remember it. However, it was not looking good).
Michelle, Reva, and I tried to mentally prepare for the bad news we were sure was going to come at any moment. This is probably the worst time to have to explain this to a new mom as all of the hormones are working overtime, but Michelle did okay. We were shortly visited by another neonatologist that said that thankfully they were able to stop the bleeding at this point and barely stabilized her, but she had significant blood loss and her blood pressure was so low she spent an extensive amount of time without sufficient oxygen to the brain. So, as good as things may look soon, we will always be looking for signs of damage. The hopeful news about that is that baby's brains (as explained to me by her current nurse) have incredible stamina and are quite a bit different than adult brains as they arrive ready to encounter trauma. The hope is that the trauma encountered is not significant. They said they rushed her to Children's Hospital and they were able to get a transfusion done, so she was, for the moment stable.
We separated at that moment and Reva went with Michelle to move to a private room, and I went with Kelli and Carlos to Children's hospital accompanied by a nurse. I was put into a consult room and had to sign a bunch of papers giving them permission to basically do what they already did, but permission to continue to do some things and then permission to have the surgery. Both the anesthesiologist and the surgeon came and talked to me and explained her condition was extremely delicate and she is very, very sick. He took her into surgery and about 3-4 hours later we were given the word that she was going to be brought back to the NICU, which was uplifting news to us. At this point I had Kelli, Dave, and Carlos with me, which without them I'm not sure how I would have made it waiting that long. We saw her wheeled back into the NICU, which we have video of, and we had a small conversation with the surgeon that went like this:
Carlos: It's just encouraging to us seeing her move from surgery to here.
Surgeon: I would say it's a miracle.
He told us later everything that happened in the surgery. Basically, the liver was still bleeding. The trauma had hurt a lot of the blood vessels that travel from the liver to the heart and many of them were stuck. He was able to fix that (amazing!) and stop the bleeding. He said that pretty much every organ was outside the body, heart and lungs being the exception, and so he couldn't put anything back in because she is so small. We think he was able to get the stomach and bladder (if it was out) back in. We know this because she peed last night, which is a great sign. We are still waiting for more pee as she hasn't done it in a while, but we know that those organs are working for the time being. Currently, her organs are hanging from a sac over her and sitting on her abdomen, which gravity is pushing them in so very slowly. When we post pictures, if you can handle it, you will be able to see this sac.
We have been prepared, by the doctors, that this process could take a very long time. We're looking at another pretty major surgery in a couple of days to put the liver back in the body because that is the most crucial organ outside. If they can't get everything sewed up in a couple of weeks, we will probably be looking at a multiple month, even year process to get things back in.
I'm about to go back in to see her as the shift change has happened and I can go in (they only kick out parents from 6:30-8:00 when the shift change happens). If I didn't cover a question that you have feel free to ask. If we don't feel like it, we won't answer it (hope you understand) but for now it keeps our mind doing something other than worry. Thank you for the continued prayer while being in the dark for so long. We'll update as soon as we can.

Morning Update
No news is now wonderful news. Karsie stayed stable throughout the night. Kevin walked in about an hour ago to see her and she had her eyes open. They are trying to keep her as still as possible so she doesn't damage her incision, but it was cute to see if only for a minute. The nurses are so wonderful here and understand that we have no idea what's going on with her.
Our nurse last night, and until about an hour ago, was named Ruth. She was so amazing at updating Kevin on every detail of Karsie's stabilizing process from what looks good to what they are concerned with. So far it looks like everything that is cautious for now is something they can fix. There are always about 4 nurses around her 24 hours a day. Kevin loves the times when he sees only one or two as it doesn't accelerate his anxiety.
Pictures will be posted as soon as Michelle has had a chance to see them first. We're having to do a lot of transferring being in two different hospitals and her still not getting to see her baby. We just got word that she may get to see her this morning if she checks out as being okay. We definitely don't want her injuring herself trying to get down here. Thank you so much for all of the prayers last night and continuous. It has been both comforting and helpful. We are still aggressively praying for a miracle.

If you were worried that you weren't going to get your Les Dennis fix after the veteran entertainer filmed his final Coronation Street scenes last week then FEAR NO MORE!
It was announced via the medium of popular 140 character complainathon Twitter that Les has been cast in "the perfect Christmas show".
The tweet Les quotes reveals that he will play Mr. Marazek in She Loves Me at the Menier Chocolate Factory.
"Thrilled to be able to announce this," he added.
She Loves Me is a musical that premiered on Broadway in 1963 and on the West End a year later, although it is actually based off a Hungarian play from 1940.
The musical was revived on Broadway this year with a cast including Jane Krakowski (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmdit) and Zachary Levi (star of Disney's Tangled and Thor: The Dark World) which is cool and all, but do they have Les Dennis? No they do not.
The actor announced back in July that he would be leaving Corrie after two years on the show as Michael Rodwell, and bosses have since promised a "hugely dramatic" exit.
Although his final storyline has understandably remained under wraps, recent on-set pictures have possibly hinted at how he will leave.
The snaps seem to show his character Michael clutching his chest in pain. We know the character has had heart issues in the past, so could that be what does him in?
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on ITV.

As a young adult I used to practically LIVE in the op shop. I couldn't pass one without scooting in to see if I could find a divine 60's mini in some outrageous fabric (or sleek black). I also loved oversized men's suit jackets with their myriad of internal pockets, perfect for stashing keys, phone numbers and money for the taxi home. It was the 80's after all…….
When the 90's hit and I earned more money I got a taste for beautiful things, shiny new from the shops. I resisted the pull of the op shop, and apart from the odd market find, I behaved myself.
In the 2000's I became a mother, paid creche fees, earned less, needed clothes suitable for running, bending, frequent (very) washing. Opportunities for nighttime splendour have become fewer between, and guilt over spending (paint excepted) on frivolous items makes them a bad investment.
We have another wedding coming up soon. A beloved cousin, marrying her true love who moved from afar. It will happen on the beach in the afternoon, the reception will be somewhere fitting in the evening. What to wear! The fab formal frock of last week is not suitable, black is taboo……..
This morning I went to my favourite fabric shop, determined to be inspired and left (this has NEVER happened before) EMPTY HANDED. Completely.
Feeling stunned and unsure, we wandered further down the street to an op shop, wondering if perhaps there may be a piece of fabric or garment in there that could be remodelled (I was desperate and unsure)….
Gently calling my name in polite whispers was a vintage, hand-tailored (Jermyn street London no less) dress in cream with gold embroidery that looks like it could have been done by the mice from a Beatrix Potter's Tale. It's a 60's shift shape, with elbow length sleeves. Not terribly much hanger appeal. Let's try it on anyway – it's Jermyn Street…..perhaps it could be cut off and be a great top……. It is in brand-spanking, perfect, perfect, perfect condition.
Made for me. Could have been tailored for me personally. Perfect fit, perfect length. I still can't quite get over it.
At the counter, wondering if I was mad or just incredibly lucky I thought – How can I make this perfect garment more 'now' without ruining it? It may need gold jewellery… Again calling my name softly, so quiet you could hardly hear…… A single elaborate earring. No pair, just a lone little one, which fits – like it was made for it – on my every-day necklace. Again, too good to be true!
The dress will be dry-cleaned, shoes must be bought – but that will be fun, I feel virtuous and lucky and very, very blessed!
Playing with fire, progressing gently….. I'm really enjoying painting again, and feel good about my new body of work. Need more time, but don't we all – and at least I don't have to spend a day sewing a new dress now.
I win! 🙂

Back from a lengthy sabbatical, campers. Should be more from me here in the future. As this one is from my neck of the woods, I thought I'd post. Hope to be posting more regularly here in November.
From a TNDP presser.
NASHVILLE – A Union City resident filed a complaint with the Tennessee Registry of Election Finance against state House candidate Bill Sanderson of Kenton for his continued disregard for campaign finance laws as the candidate has yet to reveal any campaign expenses other than one in-kind contribution.
Sanderson lists only one in-kind contribution of $4,195.82 from a Republican political action committee during the first three quarters of this year despite mailing several fundraising solicitations, operating two campaign websites and advertising in local newspapers.
"Mr. Sanderson would have the state to believe he is running a full-fledged campaign without spending any money," Tennessee Democratic Party Chairman Chip Forrester said. "That is illegal and Mr. Sanderson knows it. This isn't the first time he has run for the state House.
"If Mr. Sanderson wants to represent citizens in the General Assembly, he should abide by the laws just like everyone else. If he cannot follow the law, then how will he represent the people of Lake, Obion and Dyer counties? That's not the kind of leader Northwest Tennessee deserves."
The complaint was filed with the state today (Thursday, Oct. 14). Sanderson lost a bid for the state House during the November 2008 elections to state Rep. Judy Barker of Union City.
"We need state legislators who are serious about balancing the state's budget, providing top-notch educational opportunities for our children and creating good-paying jobs for our communities," Forrester said. "Rep. Barker has proven her dedication to serving the people she represents.
"Mr. Sanderson, on the other hand, wants people to vote for him but he doesn't want to follow the law. Just last year he sent a fundraising letter to potential donors and included an advertisement for his furniture store in it.
"I guess his strategy is to hawk as much furniture as he can to potential campaign contributors if he comes up short in his bid for the state Legislature. That strategy just strikes me as a little weird and insincere. Northwest Tennessee deserves a serious and honest leader like Rep. Barker," Forrester added.

This past week I took a break from my favorite form of social media - my connection to the pseudo-outside world - that connects me with my sanity saving adult friends...my beloved Facebook. It was actually kind of a relief! I didn't realize how much I included the "needing to check FB" throughout my day. It gave me the permission to do other things that I had been putting off like, oh, ANYTHING else. I did feel really out of the loop, and missed hearing about everyone's days and how things are going. So many of you brighten my day with your anecdotes and helpful tips of things you figure out and save me the trouble of finding out on my own.
Here is just a little snap shot of a few of the things that happened last week...
We had a must needed trip to visit dear family in Knoxville, TN last weekend. Precious time spend with loved ones.
We took the boys to see Star Wars in 3D
I also spent quality time with my new BFF, ZUMBA baby!
kind of a low point, scratching off too much of my security code on my iTunes gift card :(
dinner and a movie with my Valentine ...
really important silly face making time with my littlest Valentine...
enormously rocky time getting ready for preschool, which resulted in no preschool that day...
snuggles with Snickerdoodle, my sister's beloved guinea pig
shock and AWE over my sister's latest birthday cake creation...
God's beauty. Loooovvvvve.
Hope your weeks were amazing!

I like to sometimes turn candy into desserts (see cherry blossom everything!) and desserts into candy, like my apple crisp toffee. This sweet treat is another one along those lines, and whipped up in time for a co-worker's retirement get together, and inspired by strawberry shortcake, of course. This candy is like a hint of summer, in the chilly days of fall!
- 1 1/4 cups butter
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 tbsp corn syrup
- 1 cup coarse crumbs from shortcake biscuits (I used Peek Freans), plus 1-2 extra for topping (finer crumb)
- 1 cup chopped dried strawberries (kitchen scissors work well to do this)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 12 ounces white chocolate, chopped
Prepare a baking sheet with butter. To a heavy saucepan over low-medium heat, melt butter, then add both sugars, water and corn syrup. Increase heat to medium and cook for up to 20 minutes to "hard crack stage" while regularly stirring and scraping bottom of pan. Remove pan from heat and stir in vanilla, then add the biscuit crumbs and the chopped dried strawberries. Pour mixture onto prepared baking sheet and press with back of metal spoon to distribute thinly. Distribute the white chocolate over top of the hot toffee and allow to sit for a minute or so, until the chocolate has melted enough to smooth over with a spoon to fully cover the toffee. Sprinkle with remaining biscuit crumbs, and allow to fully set before breaking into pieces. Keeps well in a sealed container.

Dear One,
When a person is baptized with My Holy Spirit, that baptism is a baptism of love because I am Love. That is why a person feels comfort and peace in the presence of My Spirit, because He is the Comforter, as described by Jesus. Jesus reassured His followers that it was expedient that He leave them and come back to heaven with Me because if He didn't leave the earth the Comforter would not be able to come to them to live in them. (John 14:15-17) We sent the Comforter to live inside of those people who invite Me to be their ever present help. He reveals the depth, width, height and breadth of My love to My children, reprogramming their minds with the fullness of My love.
Fear vanishes in the fullness of My love for you. When you know the fullness of My love there is no room for fear because fear is the ultimate robber who is sent from hell to rob My children of peace, joy and love. Fear is a spirit and when My Holy Spirit reveals My love to you, fear shrinks into nothing because it knows that My love conquers all fear. (I Timothy 1:7)
Seek the complete revelation of My love for you. When you allow My Spirit to reveal the fullness of My love for you, all fear, all strife, all jealousy, all envy, all bitterness, all vengeance and all anger are snuffed out because nothing evil can exist in the knowledge of the completeness of love. (I John 4:16-21)
Seeking the fullness of My love has many rewards besides having the knowledge of being perpetually prized and comforted. I said that when you have the full revelation of My love that because of the power that is at work in you, that I will be able to do exceedingly, abundantly more than you dare think or ask. The experiential knowledge of My love is so powerful that all unbelief and doubt fade away and faith is multiplied in you to the extent that you will have faith for the most unbelievable things and they will become manifested in your life because you know Me intimately. I said that whatever you ask will be granted to you. When you are filled with My love, you only ask for what I have already promised, which is the fruit of the abundant life. (John 15:7-14)
Seek a revelation of My love just like you sought My kingdom because love is the atmosphere of My kingdom. Love is My righteousness. Love is the air that your spirit breathes in My kingdom. Love is the water of the rivers of living waters that flow from your innermost being, Love is the glue that joins us together in unity with one purpose and one desire, which is to love others as I love you. Love always wins, Love forgives a multitude of sins and Love endures forever.(I Corinthians 13:4-13)
Seek a revelation of My Love from My Holy Spirit and you will be baptized in Love.
Your Father of Love

I forgot to mention on Thursday that we have company staying with us this weekend. Hence, the lack of posts. I DO want to post for Foto Friday though - even though it's Saturday now. :) If you don't see it now, check back later and I will probably have something up (but it will be under this post).
I hope you all are having a safe and happy 4th!

Although there have been many people that helped me out in my search for facts about the McCormacks. There is one person that I would like to thank for the help that she gave me. It would be Lura Addy Young, she is my second cousin once removed. Years ago, it had to have been in the early 90's, she sent me a two page letter about the McCormacks. It contained a LOT of facts, notes and interesting statements. It gave me hints and headstarts that I doubt that I could have gotten on my own. There was one note in particular that I doubt that I would have found out on my own. It was about one of my great grandfather's younger brothers. It said that he went to Reno, Nevada and had one son named Harold. Until I read that, I had NO idea about what happened to this particular brother. There is also a few things on that letter that I haven't been able to confirm. Yet. I believe that most everything that I have been able to accomplish in researching the family of Michael McCormack has come from that letter I got from her.
Thanks, Lura!

Ice Thermal Storage System
Place the heat-exchange coil (polyethylene 5/8" length:about 3miles)for brine flow of low temperatures in the polyethylene tank (1190A model:height 2,600,diameter 2,260). Do this by using counterflow method, and then let brine (water 75%, Ethylene Glycol 25%)circulate in coil. Tank is manufactured by yhe rotary molding method.
High-efficient operation
It is possible that brine in tube forms ice uniformly and melt it entirely through the circulation of counter flow. By melting ice hardened around tube firstly, it is easier to deal with loads rapidly with fast melting speed. It has an excellent freezing rate (I.P.F:over 95%)and the highest storing thermal density (20.5Ton-hr/m3)in Korea.

Scott Furciniti Helps Bring Running Water to Mother Giver Nursery School
Posted: Fri, January 15, 2016 | By: Past Projects
Scott Furciniti - one of BBI's most consistent contributors - has donated funds to help bring running water to the women-owned Mother Giver Nursery School.
The school is located in Buhanga, a rural hamlet in the foothills of the Ruwenzori Mountains that can only be accessed by trail. Buhanga is about 3 miles uphill from Kyarumba, a village of 10,000 where Brighter Brains Institute has launched many projects, including 8 clinics.
The children of Mother Giver Nursery School are frequently sick, due to drinking unclean water. There is no running water in Buhanga because the pipes have broken, and need to be replaced.
Brighter Brains Institute is attempting to raise funds to replace the broken pipes. We have also installed a clinic there.
Thank you, Scott Furciniti, for helping the children of Buhanga!
Photo below is of the school, with the children in front.

Bonjour tout le monde!
I've experienced so many changes and new things since my departure this past Saturday that I don't even know where to begin.
Last weekend was spent in Philly and packed full with Peace Corps orientation stuff, though I did get to do some sight-seeing (saw the liberty bell and where the constitution was signed!). I arrived late Saturday evening and upon arriving to my hotel was immediately greeted by a group of other excited PCVs (Peace Corps Volunteers) who I spent the evening eating Philly cheese steaks and having a couple beers with. There are a total of 67 of us PCTs (Peace Corps Trainees; I know all the acronyms are confusing so I'll try to just stick with PCV. Technically I am not a volunteer though until I successfully complete 3 months of training and swear in on Sept. 14th).
After about 30 hours of traveling, I finally arrived in Cotonou, Benin around 8p Tuesday evening, one iPod short of what I came in with as I somehow lost mine in transit. Sorry dad, I can already hear you yelling through the computer screen at me for this one. I was initially on an adrenaline rush of excitement the first night which quickly turned into hardcore jetlag which I'm still trying to get over. The PC allowed little time for us to rest as we've been expected to be up and moving at 6a every day this week. Though I'll try to keep my complaining/gross health details to a minimum throughout my blog, I will say that I can tell I'm in for a real treat throughout the next 27 months as my digestive system is already showing signs of sensitivity and feeling completely out of whack. I'm hoping this is just an adjustment period :/
On a positive note, being back in Africa has been everything and more than I expected it to be. As cliché as it may sound, all of my doubts about PC completely vanished immediately stepping foot on African soil and I know that this is exactly where I am supposed to be at this point in my life, everything just feels right. Though there is such a large group of us in training, everyone's been super friendly and we all have a lot of the same interests and motivations in life and have bonded a lot over that. All of the staff have been very friendly, supportive, and understanding as well which has been great. I feel very taken care of and guided here so far which in some ways has been annoying, though also makes me feel very safe now and in the instance of an kind of emergency. Benin is a relatively stable and secure country compared with the majority of African countries and they have good relations with the U.S. government, much of which was explained to us after meeting several higher ups at the U.S. embassy in Benin including the U.S. ambassador. Very cool stuff!! The main safety issue we have to fear here is transportation as in many developing countries it is CHAOTIC with little structure. The main mode of transportation is on motorcyles, or "zemis", and we happen to be the only country which PC allows its volunteers to use as they are considered so dangerous, though are really necessary to use in order to get around Benin. We were also outfitted with our own (required) helmets and mountain bikes which I am so excited about! The mountain bikes aren't very practical in the city but will be great when I'm at post and have to travel to various sites and villages.
We've arrived during the middle of the rainy season in Benin and we've definitely been experiencing the brunt of that. Yesterday morning it rained heavily and constantly for several hours which delayed all scheduled events for the entire day as the roads are virtually impassable and everything just kind of shuts down for the duration of the rain.
Today I will be meeting my host family and will stay with them until I swear in on Sept 14th and am then assigned to what is called a "post" where I will then live for the remaining 24 months of service. Though most of the PVCs are going to be living in the capital city of Porto Novo during training, there are roughly 15 of us Rural Community Health Volunteers which will be living in a town about 15km outside of Porto Novo called Dangbo. The PC says that this is to get us used to living conditions which will be more similar to those that we are likely to experience at our assigned posts. I'm dying to know where exactly I'll be posted and what work I'll be doing, but I won't find that out for another month. Until the end of training my days will be filled with language, cross-cultural, safety, and technical training.
I'll leave it at that for now and will try to post more updates after meeting my host family this weekend! My access to internet right now is very limited right now, but I'm hoping that there are some internet cafes near my host family's house.
I'm missing everyone back home, but rest assured that I'm having the experience of a lifetime. I feel so blessed to have this opportunity at this point in my life. PLEASE feel free to write me if you'd like!! Here's my address:
Teresa Tufte
s/c Corps de la Paix
01 B.P. 971 Recette Principale
Cotonou, Benin (Afrique de l'Ouest)
Also, if sending packages, we've been told NOT to have people send items through DHL or Fed EX as we are charged a VERY hefty fee on our end (between $200-300!!). The best route is to just use USPS. I've also been told that if you write various messages praising Jesus/Christianity on the package like Bible verses or "I love Jesus", that can prevent the package from being broken into and stolen (which I find pretty hilarious but definitely ingenious).
Au revoir du Benin J

Google Earth Gets a Huge Redesign with Guided Tours, 3D View, and More

Google pushed out a big update to Google Earth for Chrome and Android today. Alongside a snazzy new look, the new version adds guided tours, 3D maps, a random button, and lots more.
The guided tours, which Google calls "Voyager," aren't just some hacked together algorithmic mess, they're led by scientists and documentarians. At launch there are 50 tours available of places like Gombe National Park, a variety of North America's National Parks, or a tour of Frank Gehry's buildings. Google also teams up with BBC and Planet Earth, so you can zoom in on different locations from the show and learn more.
If you're truly bored, you can also use the "I'm feeling lucky" button to get sent some random place in the world. Once you're there, Google packs in useful information by pulling in sources like Wikipedia so you can learn a bit about the place you land. The 3D button allows you to view any place you want from any angle, though in most cases that tends to look as weird and awkward as you're likely imagining it would.
Google Earth has always been a bit of a fun toy, but it seems like Google's making an attempt to make it a bit more useful. To that end, they plan on adding more tours on a weekly basis, which should make it useful to come back to.

Tomorrow we'll probably find Waffle singing a little Prince in the bathtub
Upon arriving, I took out my lawn chair, Avett Brothers bag (which housed my favorite Wendell Berry book, prep material in case one of the readers didn't show up), and camera. I walked past the pond, quietly stood while the presenter at the time finished her excerpt, and then made my nest under a maple tree (which I quickly identified as a maple not because I had a horticulture class in high school - sorry, CLT - but because I recognized the leaves from a hockey uniform). Comfortable with both my partly-shaded, partly-sun exposed furniture arrangement and the fact that every other attendee had a good ten years on me, I settled in for what turned out to be a lovely day.
*I got such a kick out of a couple, probably 75-80 years old, who wore matching shirts and performed a "duet poem" about cheating spouses. I enjoyed them even more in retrospect when I realized (the following Thursday night) that they were actors in the Barnlot Theater's production of To Kill a Mockingbird.
*I wish I owned the folk-artsy cabbie hat that Lynwood Montell so gracefully pulled off.
*I had the opportunity to hear Darlene Campbell, an elementary school teacher from Adair County, read some of her own poems and an excerpt from an upcoming novel. I respected her comment: "I make a living from teaching; let the writing money go to something that matters" - a statement made in reference to the proceeds from I'm Listening Momma. I was moved by her poem, "If The Devil Had a Name," a personal denunciation of cancer (her father is also battling the disease right now). I enjoyed her engaging presentation style and the laid-back sincerity clearly evident during our one-on-one lunch time chat.
If you get a chance, read some of Janice Holt Giles' work, be on the lookout for Darlene Campbell's upcoming novel, and consider attending next year's event...with or without a significant other and/or matching shirts.
This has been my piddle project the past couple of days after work...
This was Waffle's old doghouse. Mom decided that we needed to put the much nicer one (that no dog was using) in the pen for everyone's favorite dog (despite the fact that we named him "Waffle"). I decided to fix this one up for Lucy and Willie.
My trusty tools. I love that the saw handle is held together with duct tape. If this doesn't scream Curtis and Jackie, nothing does.
Well, it's not quite finished (I'm going to paint it this weekend), but I'm happy with the progress so far. We decided long ago that if they could actually write their names, Lucy would do hers in a rather dainty cursive, Willie in big block print.
3 comments:
Lucy definitely would have a dainty signature.(isn't she going to be a ballerina for Halloween?) As for Willie he would have trouble writing because of his crooked front legs. But hey, he would give it his best shot.ReplyDelete
You amaze me with your determination to make something so ragged into something very attractive and functional. (hope Andy doesn't think I am talking about him).
I think you should attend the event next year, not as a spectator but as a contributor of some of your wonderful writings. You definitely could do it!
LOL (Lots of Love),
What a neat (for lack of a better word) event and I agree with Jackie- you should be one of the authors next year!! I love the dog house and I think it looks great the color it is now, a distressed shabby chic look. I know it will looking great whatever you do to it. :)ReplyDelete
Mom - You always so nicely balance sweetness and hilarity. Thank you for loving Lucy and Willie, having faith in me, and being so damn funny. You amaze me every day. LOL.ReplyDelete
Lindsey - Well, if you actually saw it, you might opt for "dirty" instead of "distressed shabby chic," but I appreciate you looking on the bright side:). We should go together next year and you can read your Don't Cry For Me, Avocado poem! Love you!

~Blackberry-Picking by Seamus Heaney
I wandered into a future masterpiece in progress at the Pederson household yesterday.
Taking the plunge, ick. Michael takes a dip in the drainage ditch. Were it any other place I might have laughed but knowing what was running through the water that flowed out of the culverts around here all I could do was gasp and yell "Michael stop that! Yucky that is disgusting. You are swimming in poop!" Michael however was undeterred and continued to frollick about. So I did what any other honest paparazzi would have. I set down my bag and rummaged around surfacing with my trusty camera and snapped up a few impromptu documentations in case he shows up at school later this year with a 3rd arm or something.
My new wheels! That have bad brakes, that don't work right so I had to disconnect them, who needs to stop anyway, right? Full speed ahead! Brakes are overrated. Betcha you won't see a get up like this in the Cheq Fat Tire Race back in Hayward. But where are your clip in pedals you say???? Not when you've got Xtra Tufs!
Cross country started last week and the kids are running like crazy. Today I drove them out to the cell phone tower (Jr. high) and for the High School...all the way to the dump dropped them off and they ran back! 4 whole miles, here are some pics of today's practice. I predict the Seahawks will be a force to be reckoned with this cross country season.
The Duncan Brothers Fishing Guides/Outfitters and company fly away with the geese and tundra swans this week. 2010 Fishing season on the Kanektok River is a wrap they say. They'll return when we fly away too next summer. Kinda like the changing of the guard I guess. We've been busy watching them pack their summer gear away in storage containers down the street. Watching them leave is basically like turning the page to winter. It's good entertainment too, you'd really be amazed at what becomes good entertainment around here;)
The Alaskan Beach Bum
I decided that I would 'lay out' down at the beach today. This is what sunbathing looks like on the Bering Sea ya'll! Soaking it up. Speaking of which twilight is around 11:00 pm for us right now. Though day by day we are again fading.

First off the owner use to have a big sign saying "we never have nor ever will have fried onions". He made a big stink about it. Probably because Charlies in Folsom has fried onions and far superior burgers - though they are closed on Tuesdays. But I digress, so I asked the question why don't you have Fried onions one day while I was in there. The person behind the counter told me that they can't do fried onions because it will run all over the grill and ruin it for the people who don't like fried onions. Interesting I said, so how the hell do the cheesteak places do it then? She said well that is what the owner said. Long story short, a year later they had a sign saying they now have fried onions! How brutal dude. The guy makes a big stink about fried onions only to add them later. I mean the sign and all is just ridiculous.ReplyDelete
He is the bottom line, rumor has it that he they were late on rent for the past 6 month because they were struggling financially. The service is terrible, the owner is rude and the food is mediocre. It was only a matter of time - good riddance! I say let the hot dog guy move in there. As long as charlies is around there is no reason to go to sacs - unless it is a Tuesday. The go to the Last Stand and get a hot dog on mcdade blvd. Viva la France!!Replies

you need not look further than the planning commission pushing Wawa for electric charging stations and solar panels, who the heck is the local government to determine what kind of business model or practices the particular organization wants to proceed upon? something tells me that market demand and operating costs should carry much more weight than overintrusive liberals.Delete

Sorry, trying to turn this into a conversation about a proposed Super Wawa does not address the issue at hand.

"the rent was too d*mn high!" was probably what happened at Zac's. See also: On A Roll vacating this spot around 2005 and moving half block up to a smaller location at Jasper and Orange.ReplyDelete
The staff at Zac's was completely rude. Part of the problem was I believe the owner's kid(s) and relatives worked there, hence, little to no accountability. Food was meh. Front Street has better milkshakes. For burgers I'd seek out a Five Guys if I ate corn-fed beef.
Which brings me to this suggestion. Anyone who wants to open an Elevation Burger franchise at the former Zac's spot would make a fortune. Elevation Burger uses (organic) grass-fed beef. This would attract a lot of Medians who have moved into town in the last decade.Replies

Anyone who has ever dieted, developed food allergies or intolerances (or autoimmune diseases associated with food), knows how very important food choices are. Of course this gets to the ideas discussed in books like "The Omnivore's Dilemma", a topic that occupies my mind often.
I came back from Costa Rica a few pounds lighter than when I went there. Of course this is no surprise, but I really don't think it's due to increased exercise alone. I've even managed to lose a few more pounds since then, but I honestly couldn't tell you why. Here's my lovely PhysicsDiet chart to illustrate my point:
This got me thinking about the food I ate while I was in Costa Rica and the food that I eat here, particularly because I saw a great reduction in belly swelling alone from being in Costa Rica. While I'm sure I could attribute some of the weight lose to increased exercise, surly not all of it can be, particularly the loss of my belly. The belly swelling to me suggests that I'm reacting to a food(s) I eat. I ate tons of fruit (sugars) while I was in Costa Rica along with rice, potatoes and corn (carbs), and plenty of meat (chicken, pork, fish and beef). I certainly consumed salt. I also had dairy almost every day in the form of a La Selva mocha (scoop or two of sugar and cocoa, a bit of milk, top with coffee). I also had ice cream a few times. The only thing I can figure out is that I didn't consume in any real quantity soy, HFCS, or oatmeal while I was there. My processed meat consumption was also low.
It's obvious to me that my body is reacting to something here in the form of a somewhat swollen belly. The problem is that even of the foods I listed, I still don't consume much of them at home (ok, other than oatmeal). The simple fact of eating few processed foods cuts out large amounts of soy and HFCS. I rarely drink soda these days. The only measurable amount of soy I eat is usually in the form of gluten free soy sauce in a stir fry. So I'm left wondering what changes I need to make to help my body function better and get this belly swelling down (which has already started to return). So I'm considering dropping the oats for a month, being even more mindful of where soy comes into my diet, and of course limiting HFCS as much as I can (the irony is that we had Garlic Chicken for dinner {with soy sauce} and I followed it with an Icee pop {full of HFCS}). I'm going to continue trying to up my fruit intake. I'm not sure what other changes to try. Any suggestions?

Two PEHS students managed to grab the silver medal during the LLC Division Science Fair on Oct. 17, 2009 at Pusok Elementary School.
Khim Carlo Pagobo & Julibee Pagobo, both are junior students, received the silver medal during the collage making contest, which is participated by the different secondary schools in the division of Lapu-lapu City.
"Our design is very unique, we used a 3D effect in our collage," said Khim Carlo Pagobo.
Four PEHS students also managed to reach the top ten in the division science quiz contest: Sanah Rose Mae Mahusay (1st yr), 9th place; Errol Macoy Jr. (2nd yr), 10th place; Roxette Latonio (3rd yr), 5th place & Stephen Clint Cañamo (4th yr), 10th place.
Honey Pearl Cañamo also managed to secure the 4th place in the Sci-Dama contest.

PEHS Snatch Silver in Division Collage Contest

This edition comes to you via special request from "she-who-can't-be-named." Telling her a bit about the "hot dog" tale prompted her to call me back and request to have me tell you all about it. Since it was upon her encouragement I started writing this blog, it is the least I can do for her, relating this lamentable anecdote of blatant injustice that otherwise would remain unreported. I rarely recount the various incidents and encounters because that is what taxi is minute by minute, each new passenger having his or her comprehensive history. But in this case I feel it is in the public interest to know. If any reporter was interested in following the case, a simple check of Saturday local police precinct records should get you on the trail.
Personally, at the very least I always attempt to remain civil if not overly interested. I justify my disinterest by making every effort to provide my passenger of the moment the most efficient taxi ride possible. Late last night after I delivered three Birthday revelers from the 1600 hundred block of North 45th to the corner of 12th & East Jefferson, a young woman commented that "it was like I beamed them there" reminiscent of "Star Trek," I was that quick. Part of my "taxi" professionalism is to try to give everyone the same ride throughout the weekend regardless of state of mind and body. The party goers gave me a twenty and a grateful thanks. To me that is pretty much what taxi is for me. It isn't my lifestyle though I do appreciate what it has provided me these past 25-plus years. The instant stories, though many remaining with me, come and go down the taxi river.
Expensive Hot Dog
The young black man was angry. We were already late for him, receiving the computer message that he had already left his house and was walking down Cheasty Boulevard. He breathlessly recounted his tale of misery and woe to a friend punctuated by "yeah n__ger" over and over. The encapsulated version is that he was in Belltown Friday night or early Saturday morning and paid for a hot dog with a one hundred dollar bill. I am guessing that something must have been momentarily distracted the transaction because when the dread-locked kid asked for the change the vendor said no, that he hadn't been given a century note. Police were called and a rookie officer responded questioning the young man, "Are you sure you gave him a $100.00 bill?" instead of doing a real investigation and actually searching the offending vendor.
Getting more and more upset resulted in my passenger being taken to Harborview where he was stripped "butt naked n__ga!" and strapped nude to a bed with a catheter up his penis. I was taking him back to his car. He never got off the telephone the entire ride but I told him to "report the officer to internal investigation." I can only hope he does, channeling his energy toward some resolution. I too have in the past have called the police only to be treated like the criminal. Beware of the "first responders" because you might not receive the expected response. It has happened to me more than once, teaching me I am better off dealing with any situation all by myself.
Fatality in Auburn
5:30 AM this past Friday a longtime "Cuddy Taxi" driver was struck in his cab by a drunk driver running a red light in a Ford Explorer. The cabbie was killed. The drunk crawled out of his overturned SUV and ran for it, being overtaken two blocks away. RIP buddy!
Errant Bicycle
Picking up Jennifer at the Harborview Hospital ER I took her to Lang Towing to retrieve her telephone from her totalled car. Driving northbound on I-5 at about Mercer Street she suddenly had to avoid a fallen bicycle lying on the roadway. Swerving, she ran into a barricade, destroying her 2008 Chevrolet. After the tow yard,I then took her to the west hill of the City of Kent. The police are looking for the driver who failed to secure the bicycle. They have leads.
At Lang I encountered a taxi colleague, an East Indian driver from over 15 years ago, giving me a warm greeting. Best thing to have happened this weekend, the recognition of what I have been attempting, the creation of trust and goodwill. He started off with two tow trucks and now owns Lang. Good to see him.
Why Don't They Tell Their Passengers?
Again I got belled to the Beacon Hill Light Rail Station at about 10:30-11:00 Sunday night where I discovered approximately 30 people with piles of bags and luggage standing outside the station completely bewildered, attempting to get some kind of transportation downtown. I triple loaded my cab, taking Mr. Wicket from southern Germany and two others to their destinations. As I was leaving I watched the crowd struggle with their luggage while boarding a city bus. I have left messages for Sound Transit to do something about this recurring scenario, SeaTac passengers innocently boarding the train thinking they are ending up downtown. This is what happens when you apply logic to Seattle, the equation not adding up. This was Mr. Wicket's first time in Seattle. HOW-IN-THE-HELL-WAS-HE-SUPPOSED-TO-KNOW-THAT-THE-DOWNTOWN- BOUND-TRAIN-WOULD-STOP-SHORT-OF-HIS-DESTINATION? Why don't they just announce that this is the last train of the night and take everyone DT? Once that trip is completed then go out-of-service until 5:00 AM the following morning. How difficult is that? In Seattle it appears to be impossible but why is it impossible? Can someone please explain?
A Lighter Note
My father once drove a Ritz Taxi cab in Denver, Colorado. A passenger, Patrica from Denver I had picked up at the train station told me "proudly" that she had been born in a Ritz taxi in 1963. Glad she lived to tell the tale. Ritz Taxi back then had a fleet of Brown Checkers. Beautiful cars and spacious enough to accommodate an unexpected birth. She was delivered not by the driver but a nurse. We can't do everything!

In House Cafe has been around in the neighborhood for almost a year
it used to be super crowded during its earlier days...but the crowd is getting lesser & "controllable" these days...mainly b'coz people dun find this place that hype anymore...
the food portion is huge (of course it comes with a price!), and this outlet opens 24 hours a day...meaning, it never close!
Not only that, it is a decent place for meet up, with air-conditioned dining area, wifi and tv set to entertain the patrons...
it caters mainly for the younger generations, but it is also suitable for family dining...especially those who wanted to go for a late nite supper at a proper dining place...or early breakfast in the wee hours of morning (as it serves dim sum too!)
the interior is simple, with light decoration...
but somehow, the air-condition is too cold for many, as people prefer dining outdoor rather than inside the restaurant...
here's the drink counter...Among the offerings are various types of tea, coffee, juices, smoothies, pearl milk tea, soft drinks...whatever u named it they seems to hav it!
see these vacant seats???
it was too cold to dine indoor...the air-cond is centrally controlled and it is ON to full blast!
so, i ordered myself some weird drink...the drink menu is super long (than one ordinary restaurant does normally offer!)...and so i opted something that i hav not try before...
guess what's this?
it's yam smoothie with red bean!
i was freezing cold after drinkin' that under a full-blast air-cond and fan...that could probably similar to having ice-cream during winter!
meanwhile, my plate of "yin yong" noodle (Cantonese style noodle, mixture of fried vermicelli & flat noodles) came after 15 minutes!
it was huge...didn't expect that big portion of noodles...almost the serving size for 2 person...but surprisingly alot of people ordering that too! These people were as hungry as me then.
Well, perhaps next time i should go to this place whenever i m near starving condition!

There was CCA Commendation Ceremony today in my school where we appreciate the students who made contributions to their CCA. I was in charge of refreshments and so together with my guides, we helped to arrange the tables and chairs, as well as to serve our guests.
After the ceremony, I rushed off to my mum-in-law's place for dinner as it was mid-autumn festival. This is the time where hotels push their sales of different, strange sounding mooncakes which you just dont understand how it will taste nice. All sorts of shapes, sizes, colours and taste.
Well, I still prefer the traditional kind- lotus paste with egg yolk. Few slices of that and hot chinese tea satisfies me fully.
My mum-in-law served us more than that. We had steamed yam as well as pomelo fruits too!
After dinner, we rushed home as we knew my house's playground would have some sort of celebration-just like every year.
Despite feeling very tired since I was whole day in school, havent bathed. I quickly put down my bag at home, changed and then brought the kids down to play with their lanterns and to enjoy the full moon in the sky.
It was fun as every kid was carrying a different kind of lantern. There were the noisy electronic ones, the colourful ones with lots of different cartoon characters as well as the traditional ones with candles.
Many families got together to light up candles along the pavement.
I was also amazed at this family with many generations that got together for mooncake and tea. They seemed to be having a picnic at night!
It was really nice watching families getting together to play and celebrate this festival.

I'm doing laundry. And procrastinating by watching this new OkGo video repeatedly.
I'm also interweb stalking Anna Dello Russo. I kind of want to be her for Halloween next year. Or maybe when I grow up. Her blog includes such lovely things as little stars that explode when you move the cursor across it. It also has a section "Quotes"...which is informing me that...."Gold is the new black". I completely concur. Also for some reason there is a sort of Christmas pudding with a mouse springing forth from the center. Oh...and sexy Christmas Betty Boops. Wow. I'm fascinated.
Also take note that she is wearing the new H&M Lanvin collection in the photo. I'm planning on stalking H&M come November 20 in order to procure something delightful.

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 chopped onion
1 1/2 cup uncooked white rice
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup pico de gallo
1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
2. Mix rice into skillet, stirring regularly. When rice begins to brown, stir in broth and salsa. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 20 minutes, until the liquid has been absorbed and rice is the desired consistency.

Eeee, I don't know . . . Or maybe I do. O hello, here we go with that malarky; less than one sentence into the post and I can't make up my mind . . . Or maybe I can and I do know but I don't want to know.
Let's try changing the subject . . . not that you'll notice. I mean, was there even a subject to change? . . . I'll try and move on.
Yes. I need to move on. Christmas was a mighty fine, well timed distraction, but I'm a bit stuck in it now. I've had enough of sitting around eating far too many chocolates and watching way too much crap on television. I know, no one is forcing me but it's almost as if I've forgotten how to get on with anything else. I kicked myself good and proper up the arse to get on with, and into, this Christmas thing. Now it seems that I got so far into it that I'm stuck here. (?) I need to get over it. It sounds simple but it doesn't feel simple. I find it easier to imagine it not happening.
Anyway, as I've often said, I rarely watch films. I've only ever seen a handful in my life. And this film came on earlier, it's still on. I imagine that most of you will have seen it, it's called Love Actually . . . actually. Of course, I now know how the lobster found it's way into the nativity. I did wonder why so many lobster jokes. I still don't like Hugh Grant, well, not so much dislike him, I just can't see where the appeal lies . . . Say, if he was Prime Minister and say, I was impressed by that sort of thing, or if he were some kind of genius or artist, which would go much further towards impressing me . . . but he's not. I can only assume it's his posh talk, and flickering eyelids . . . how bizarre! Anyway, I've sat here and almost watched the whole film, so something must have caught my eye. Love maybe. Richard Nighy maybe. I did get a bit cranky with the predictability of it all . . . until it was followed by Parenthood which put it into perspective. Is it me? I suppose it must be.
I'm looking forward to my second session with new therapist on the 10th January. I get the impression that if I'm prepared to go through with some discomfort and work with her at facing a few things that I've been avoiding for decades . . . I will benefit from some positive changes.
Well, there you go, she says, reaching for another Lindor. I hope this chocolate eating isn't becoming a habit. I can quite see how it might and how it does. And how it would be no better or worse than any other habit or addiction. Yes, OK it's legal but man made laws.
Sunday Night.
Just back from Bro's house, he and his wife cooked Christmas dinner for me and the kids. It was truly perfect. It's so rare for me to sit at the table and be served on. I'm gonna try and move on tomorrow, maybe start moving the furniture around upstairs and looking for some motivation. Or something . . . Or maybe indulge one final day in televised trash, toys and chocolate and then move on, next year. I need to keep moving and not get stuck again. More than ever this month.
Tuesday Night!

What is Pinched Nerve?
A pinched nerve in the spine occurs when soft or hard tissue in your spine puts abnormal pressure on a nearby nerve.
Symptoms of Pinched Nerve
The symptoms of a pinched nerve depend on two basic factors: the location or type of the damaged nerve and the amount of pressure placed on that nerve. Common symptoms include:
- Common symptoms of Pinched Nerve include:
- In the lumbar spine: pain, numbness, tingling, burning, and weakness in the lower back, buttocks, legs, and feet. If impingement affects one of the roots of your sciatic nerve, you can develop sciatica, which is characterized by localized or radiating pain, numbness, or other uncomfortable sensations in the lower body
- In the cervical spine: pain, numbness, tingling, burning, and weakness in the neck, arms, hands, and sometimes in the head
- In the thoracic spine (less common): pain, tingling, or numbness in the upper or mid back, radiating through the stomach or chest, which patients often confuse for cardiovascular problems
Prior to having a surgical procedure to treat your pinched nerve, conservative measures such as physical therapy, chiropractic, and steroid injections should be attempted. If these measures do not meaningfully relieve your pain, a North American Spine procedure could be a better option to provide long-term relief.
Causes of Pinched Nerve
There are many causes of pinched nerves. Repetitive stress and load-bearing, as well as one-time injuries, are common causes. Obesity, and pregnancy have also been shown to cause pinched nerves. The condition may also result from an underlying primary condition like arthritis, diabetes, and bone spurs.
- Additional common Pinched Nerve causes include:
- Age-related wear and tear, which can lead to Degenerative Disc Disease
- Back or neck strain due to repetitive physical activity, poor posture, imbalances in the musculature, or heavy lifting
- Direct physical injury such as a car accident or fall
- Genetics, whether or not the symptoms appeared in your parents

Condition: Pinched Nerve
Procedure: IntelliSpineSM (Lumbar)
Hometown: Small Town, TX
"I knew there had to be a better, less painful way to fix my pinched nerve problem."
"Prior to coming to North American Spine my pain was with me 24/7 for the last 15 years and the pain was getting increasingly WORSE. I have been taking 500 mg Tylenol like M& M's and the pain didn't go away for very long at all… After my procedure with North American Spine my pain was GONE! I could actually wiggle the toes on my right foot and grip the bath carpet when I got in the shower the morning after my procedure!! It was truly a MIRACLE COME TRUE! I haven't been able to feel my foot for the last 15 years let alone wiggle my toes!"

Ahead of the official start of free agency, there are a ton of free agent agreements beginning to take shape. Around the NFL, teams are handing out big-money deals to players left and right. One of those teams are the Chicago Bears. Late Tuesday morning, Quintin Demps and the Chicago Bears agreed to a 3-year, $13.5 million deal. The move won't be finalized until the new league year begins at 3pm Central Standard Time. However, it looks like the Houston Texans will be losing a key defender from their league leading defense last season.
As for Demps, the multi-year deal is well deserved. Demps has been playing on 1-year deals for the last few seasons. He looked to be maxed out as a core special teamer and nickel safety. However, Demps has become an above-average starter at safety. Over the last 4 seasons, Demps has recorded 15 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. He provided a stabilizing force for the back end of the Texans' defense.
Houston Texan's Take:
Last season, in 13 starts, Demps recorded 55 tackles,1 forced fumble and a career high 6 interceptions. Those 6 interceptions were good for 2nd in the NFL, and 1st among safeties. Demps is a bit of a late bloomer, as he will be 32-years old in the 2017 season. Additionally, that means that he will be in his age 35 season by the end of his deal. Demps' age could be looked at as a reason the Texans decided against committing a long-term deal to the safety. Whatever the reason, the Texans will be looking for another safety to patrol the backend of their defense in 2017.

Article from KCRA.
http://www.kcra.com/article/state-knew-oroville-spillway-could-fail-12-years-ago/8777008 – click for video
Updated: 9:38 PM PST Feb 13, 2017
By David Manoucheri, Investigative Producer
OROVILLE, Calif. (KCRA) — Reports filed in 2005 show that the Department of Water Resources, DWR, was warned that a failure of the emergency spillway could be catastrophic.
William Croyle, acting head of DWR, told KCRA-3 Investigates that he is "unfamiliar with the information in that 2005 documentation."
The documents, filed in 2005 when DWR was looking to renew its license to operate the Oroville hydroelectric dam, showed grave concern about using the emergency spillway for flood control.
"For me it was eerily prophetic," says Ron Stork, with Friends of the River, the organization which filed the brief with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).
The brief said that DWR "takes a minimalist approach to flood control issues…this pushes the discussion of necessary modifications to the auxiliary (emergency) spillway on Oroville Dam to a future which will likely only happen in the event of a disaster."
Stork said that their warnings were proven true this weekend.
The filings also say, "Utilizing such a spillway has the potential to cause severe damage to the downstream hillside, project facilities, and downstream environments located in the path of the flood release." This is exactly what happened with the spillway this weekend, according to Stork.
Stork wants DWR to not only look at what went wrong or what they knew but also add a full concrete spillway, since this is being used for flood control. Otherwise, he said the same thing could happen again.
"Both the department and its regulator … have to just man up and own up to this job and recognize that they have to have a safe dam that they can operate confidently," Stork said.
Gov. Jerry Brown said he wasn't previously aware of a report that surfaced Monday. He said he's glad he found out about the report and added that it was not part of previous records he had seen.

Early morning found me standing alone – again – on the lawn, waiting for the sleepy January sun. It seemed like a meaningful gesture to go out and seek the dawn on New Year's Day; I was not disappointed. The wind had dropped, the garden had somehow gathered its strength and appeared cool and quietly potent in the chill moonlight, a deep calm spreading with the shadows from the settling beech trees.
I have weathered a storm. Not gracefully, it's true, but I feel like I have shaken off the old pain with the old year and woken with a bad headache but a remembrance of who I used to be, who I could perhaps be again. Has rejection forced me to turn to what I have left – myself? Or am I just a typically contrary woman, changeable as last night's gale, spinning the weathervane of emotion till I am dizzy?
Well I'm steady today at least, and I face the new day with the will to make a resolution. There are confident, brave and ambitious souls out there making lists – long lists! – of resolutions, but I don't have the strength to write a bucket list, let alone walk around with its weight on my shoulders, so just one wish for this princess.
Resolution is such a resonant word; it can be passed as a formal expression of opinion, it means determination, it can be used to mean promise, we can resolve and be resolute. So much in this one word.
So this is my resolution for New Year, my promise to myself; to be resolute, to find resolution, to go where this journey has to take me, to find and to be myself – today, tomorrow, whatever.

FREEDOM! What does it mean to truly be free? Does anyone even know? For years America has become this great idea of freedom and hope but, who really knows what that is anymore? Everyone has a goal it might not all be the same goal but in the end everyone just wants to be free. I have come to the understanding that this will never be. I had high hopes for this country yet I continue to be disappointed. Social media is an outlet a place where anyone can be whoever they want to be ,a place to hide and just pour out emotions in a hope of someone listening or watching or even caring because you feel alone. Social media can also be a place to shed light,positivity and even have fun. Still people remain to fill a void because they try to shut out true emotions and family and friends because they think in the end that these likes,follows,and comments can make them feel whole again.It is funny that it is called social media because it actually makes us less social.
It doesn't matter if you are black,white,latino, or asian everyone wants to feel accepted and free.No one grows and says "I want to be a prisioner". I say this because no matter what race or ethnicity we are we want endless happiness and joy. Who wants to get held back of their full potential?No one does. People are raised to go against other races not because it is right but because that was normal to them. I don't think anything is normal I don't know what normal is but what I do know is I pray and hope maybe one day we aren't looked or judged on by our race we are all human. We all deserve a chance to be heard,to be happy, to have peace, to be FREE.
Our first amendment is literally freedom of religion,freedom of speech,freedom of press and etc all these "freedoms" yet there are limits to our so called freedom.Why is it I cannot express my religious beliefs in school? Why is it when I talk the way I want I am not acting like a "lady"? This is not freedom this is restriction.We need to stand up and show that we can be free we are not puppets to this puppet show we call America. America is always put on a pedestal when really other countries and cities have more freedom Canada,Japan,Singapore,Ireland, and New Zealand just to name a few. The real issue isn't that we don't have our freedom but no one wants to fight for it they rather be on their social media and distract themselves from what is really going on. People would rather be oblivious instead of educated because God forbid you are educated then you will just sound "white" and who would want that?
We are holding ourselves back we have no one else to blame but ourselves. Constantly people say "I blame society" we are all part of society as a whole so when people say that you are already blaming yourselves which is the correct thing to do. As a community we never really bring each other up, we do the exact opposite.Yes we are all slaves to the state, yes we are treated in a disrespectful,dishonorable manner but no we don't have to put up with it. Set yourself free be who YOU want to be.
We learn in school how our ancestors fought for us to be free and how people took action in a peaceful manner to get their point across and it has been a long hard fight for our ancestors to do so. It is 2017 and people would rather rap about guns,sex,violence and drugs than to live peacefully,give speeches or even give their family and friends a warm hug. How has race influenced these actions? It hasn't.People rather be the next Nicki Minaj,Young Thug, or 21 Savage than to be the next Rosa Parks, Malcolm X, Thurgood Marshall or MLK Jr or just in that matter themselves.Yes it may seem like race takes a big part in our society but only because people are brainwashed into thinking that's what matters.The bigger picture is we will never really be free or know who we are because we are too busy thinking of others.

The last few months have taught me so many things. More than all other is that i need to think about myself. I have so many worries i never stop to think about my life and who i am. In high school i remember telling my mom all my plans, she just looked at me told me to slow down. I ignored her which is what most 17 year old girls do, but now i am growing up so fast i find my thinking back to that day daily. This is my time to enjoy my happiness, strength and life! i plan to focus on improving on many aspects of my life, including professional, mental & psychical health, cooking =) and most of all happiness. I am slowly but surely getting closer to the real world, meaning life after college graduation. As much as i think i am ready to take it over, i am just as much hiding under my covers scared! let this be the time i learn how to live in the big bad world out there! Day 1 here i am =)
1. Learn to cook... better than i do now, meaning more than what college kids eat
2. Take time out everyday to improve sit and relax
3. Take time out every week if not everyday to work out!
4. enjoy my friend, family and boyfriend more =)
pretty simple goals but they are much more complicated!
208 Day until Graduations!

While he was snowboarding we made him his birthday cake...
The plan was to make Hot Hubby's favorite...chocolate cake with chocolate frosting.
I was out of chocolate frosting... ug!
I have whipped frosting... yeah... he LOVES whip. After I started frosting the cake I noticed it was cream cheese whipped... ug!
Brad doesn't like cream cheese frosting... ug!
I never knew this was the beginning of foiled plans...
Brad got home from snowboarding and took a birthday nap. I was going to surprise him with dinner at Disneyland, complete with the big bag of kettle corn to snack on while we strolled the park and rode kiddie rides.
Then there was a scream...
Eli had been sitting on the counter with my awesome cousin Olivia, and fell. In the time it took to pick him up he had a HUGE bump... it looked like a blue and red golf ball was embedded on the front of his forehead.
I was cuddling him and Brad suddenly said, "Eli is falling asleep try to keep him awake."
Eli wouldn't wake up.
To say that I was freaking out is an understatement!
We loaded up and headed to the ER... Eli was lethargic the whole time falling asleep as I tried to keep him awake...
We were really scared :(
We got to the ER, and as soon as we got out of the car Eli was just dandy. REALLY! He was running around, making the whole waiting room laugh, pretending to be a choo choo train... with the embedded golf ball on his forehead.
We decided to stay and get a scan because he had been so out of it earlier.
Sigh of relief!
But we didn't get out till 10pm... too late for the birthday surprise :(
The following week my sporty Hubby decided to take his friends paintballing for his birthday party. They shot at each other all day then enjoyed Tri-Tip for lunch!
Testosterone was a flowing!
Nothing like shooting the ones you love...
They were banged up, bruised and covered in welts... they were MEN!
Hot Hubby got home, and the kiddos and I let him have a (much needed) 2 hour nap, then we took him to our favorite pizza joint (Haus of Pizza in Huntington - for all you local readers!).
Now I'm sure you are all wondering what I got Hot Hubby for his birthday... I shall not include the details... but he liked it... wink...

Global Warming was devised by physics guys, who knew no biology. They did not know about the carbon cycle.
Plants take in CO2, and combine it with water:
CO2+3H20-->CH4+He+2O2 +O+Energy+γ
The metane is combined with more water, to form carbohydrates - CH4(H2O)m
Oxygen is thus excreted by plants, and is the greatest polluter in Earth's history!
Animals do
The upshot is, life takes in CO2: Sea plants and bacteria are better thean land plants! When ice melts, is displaces less water than the sea level it displaces, so Global Warming would cause a sea fall!
But plants sink all the CO2, so the global climate change we see, is linked ot solar emission cycles – not man's CO2!
The major Global Warming gas is water vapor – without which htehre would be no life on Earth. This is because the turbulent flow of water vapour does air molecular nuclear fusion.
So there can have been no CO2 change since the industrial revolution: Problem for "Global Warming"! It is totally spurious Public Relations from nuclear power.
Real Global Warming, rather than the Public Relations from nuclear power, is all linked to evaporation of water from the sea and lakes of the Earth.
Meanwhile, nuclear power is toxic, polluting, and with little events like Chernobyl, the most fatal technology allowed on Earth today.
In contrast the deep does molecular nuclear fusion from water. Releasing He, O, γ and heat, for free!
No toxic end product. Molecular nuclear fusion is done by green plants, and your own blood system – it is that safe!

This was a short article by Edmund Sanders published June 10, 2010. It consisted of most of the first seven paragraphs of the article available on the Los Angeles Times web site at
The article reported on Israeli broadening of the list of goods which could be transferred into Gaza. It reported almost completely on the Arab reaction, which just a tiny reference to Israel denying the moves were a reaction to criticism following its interception of the "Free Gaza" flotilla.
Opinion: "Israel's move impressed almost no one in this impoverished seaside territory."
Opinion: The article referred to the flotilla as being an "aid flotilla."
Omission. Misleading: "Nine people, including a U.S. citizen, were killed when activists resisted."
The article fails to mention the nine people were among those who resisted and were paid mercenaries. It also omits the fact that the "U.S. citizen" is one in name only, having left the United States at the age of two and apparently never returning.

The Definitive Guide to best brain supplements
If an antipsychotics or mood-stabilizer is made use of, it should be as A final vacation resort and at the lowest helpful dose. This implies starting off having a teeny dose. On the other hand, numerous non-geriatrician clinicians start out at A lot increased doses than I'd personally.

The enhanced SNR of superior field strength MRI gives radiologists the posh of selecting concerning maximizing throughput or graphic resolution.
Not way back I met Anjan Chatterjee, a neurologist within the University of Pennsylvania, in his Place of work on the labyrinthine Penn hospital intricate. Chatterjee's primary exploration pursuits are in topics much like the neurological foundation of spatial knowing, but in past times few years, as he has listened to more details on learners taking cognitive enhancers, he has begun composing concerning the ethical implications of these conduct. In 2004 he coined the term "cosmetic neurology" to describe the follow of working with drugs created for recognised health care disorders to strengthen normal cognition. Chatterjee concerns about beauty neurology, but he thinks that it will ultimately grow to be as suitable as beauty operation; in actual fact with neuroenhancement it's harder to argue that It is frivolous.

Caveat about discontinuing antipsychotics in people with dementia: Analysis has observed that there's a fair threat of "relapse" (that means agitation or psychotic indications getting worse) brain supplement right after antipsychotics are discontinued.

About the following couple of years, three–tesla MRI very likely will Adhere to the identical trajectory as any new technology.
Other points to remember: If a person does build dementia, it gets A great deal harder to stop these medicines. That's mainly because Anyone has to endure some elevated nervousness, agitation, and/or insomnia although the senior adjusts to tapering these medications, and the more cognitively impaired the senior is, the more difficult it truly is on All people.
