text: AP classes What Would These Kids Ask Their Elders? By Bill Zeeble • Nov 25, 2015 Bill Zeeble / KERA News This holiday weekend, high school kids across the country will be bringing their phones to family dinners. Not just to text their friends, though – they'll be interviewing family members, StoryCorps-style . It's a project called "The Great Thanksgiving Listen," and it's being done through the free StoryCorps app. One North Texas class lining up its questions. Black And Latino Students In Dallas Lead The Nation For Passing AP Exams By Dianna Douglas • Jan 25, 2015 Dianna Douglas / KERA News Black and Latino students in Dallas high schools pass the Advanced Placement exams at the highest rate in the country.

Texas Board Of Education Places Limits On New AP History Course And Exam By Associated Press • Sep 17, 2014 Lane V.

Beginning today, high school students can look up their scores on Advanced Placement exams online instead of waiting for them to come in the mail.

I spent two hours cleaning out the closet in my office, reorganizing it and taking care of holiday things like ornaments, wrapping paper, and bags. I'm glad to say, that project is DONE!
Yesterday I filled out a membership form for the Oklahoma Food Cooperative. I'm kind of excited! I look forward to farm-fresh organic eggs and occasional grass-fed beef. It's only $50 one-time with no annual renewal. Some co-ops deliver a basket of vegetables that you don't choose and you have to figure out what to do with them. The OK Food Co-op allows you to order specifically what you want, which I really like from which farmer or rancher you want to support! I'm really excited. H of course is ambivalent, but he just doesn't care about much in the food world. As long as he's fed, he's happy. He doesn't really care where it comes from. I'm happy to support Oklahoma agriculture.
I realized something the other day. You know how I was having all of that foot pain/plantar fasciitis? Well, it's gone! I don't even think about it anymore. I never have foot pain. Ever. I think getting active really helped make that problem go away. It's funny how you can have a problem that is so pronounced slowly go away and you don't even notice.
Currently, I'm trying to psych myself up for a run but it's so windy out I might stay in and do Hip Hop Abs. I haven't done it in forever and a little dancing around might do me some good!

13 January 2010
The Day That Changed Everything
I never knew what to expect when that day came. There was plenty of questions heading into January 13, 2008. Were we ready for this? What would the future hold? How could we overcome all of the doubts and internal struggle?
Who ever knew waiting could be so difficult? Who knew that rest was so unrestful? Anxiety set in sometime around 2 p.m., when the tension could be cut with a knife. By 4 p.m. it was almost time to see what the future would hold, questions be damned.
We pushed ourselves to the limit, we prayed and we hoped. We sweat, we laughed, we cried, we even said a couple bad words during the ordeal. We had some times where we didn't think the end would come, but then finally we saw the finale later that evening, and it was beautiful.
We welcomed the outcome with open arms, knowing that the game had changed and destiny had touched her hand on our shoulders. We didn't know exactly the path we would now take, but we knew it was paved in gold and we would be winners when we finally came to its conclusion.
Now, two years later, we can take pride in the fact that we persevered through it all. We can say that, even if we made mistakes over the last two years, we still are on the right path. We still have our future. We still have that day.
That day led to so many things. It led to parties and celebrations. It led to lessons learned and dreams imagined. It even led to some bumps and bruises that will help shape us for what the future holds. And boy, what does that future hold.
I can always look back on that day, that one fine day and think, This is what it was supposed to be. This is how it was supposed to happen. God smiled that day, and he was happy. Happy that a touch of His hand had given us all something so special. Something so real.
I sit here and smirk, thinking back to that day in the hospital room and watching it all unfold in front of me. And finally, at the end of the day, I sat back in my chair and exhaled. I knew this part was over, but the hard part was just beginning. Did I know how it would happen, or ever if it would happen so fast? No. Did I care? Not in the least.
I just relished in that moment. That moment: New York Giants 21, Dallas Cowboys 17.*
*Oh yeah, Happy Birthday Kaitlyn. You came into this world on the same day that Eli Manning came into his own. And if you turned out to be a boy, there was going to be some serious discussion regarding names.

Take a friggin bow, MO.
I can't take all the credit. R.W. McQuarters deserves some for his critical interception in the end zone with 16 seconds to play. And Amani Toomer hauled in those two touchdown passes from Eli Manning.ReplyDelete
Plus, Michelle did most of the pushing. I, however, did cry plenty.

I finally got tapped into that big nuclear fusion reactor in the sky. My first solar panels are now connected into the system and charging the batteries.
Here is the first rack with its two panels
This morning I did not participate in Black Friday, I went to see a bright Friday shining on my panels. These two panels, under "ideal" (read, almost never going to happen) conditions, could generate about 520 watts. This morning, they were sending a little less than 400 watts into the batteries. The panels were generating just over 400 watts, and the charge controller was sending about 380 watts to the batteries. It was sending about 94% of the power from the panels to the batteries.
The charge controller is reporting sending 380 watts to the batteries
I watched the system and it took the batteries from about 90% full to 94% full by the time I had to leave around lunch time. It had put over a kilowatt hour back into the batteries, and was delivering 440 watts into the batteries at that time.
Tomorrow we are going to try to set up two more racks with another 4 panels. This should let me really charge the batteries and keep them charged without having to run the generator much, while we finish the construction work. I am hoping that within 2 or 3 weeks, I will have all the panels installed. But that will require some cooperation from the weather.

The "9 days" started yesterday, and I keep seeing "how to survive the 9 days" posts, ways to make the best dairy meals, and how to get past Tisha B'Av in one piece.
The real answer lies in this video: The Children Are Ready.
And they are… we need to get past the Kotel, get past the mindset of 2000 years of exile, and look to the future.
The future is within our grasp…we just need to be ready. Are you?

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 151024
high-speed USB copy between devices hangs intermittently
Last modified: 2015-01-04 17:17:39 EST
Description of problem:
I bought a USB 2.0 card (Adaptec AUA-2000 -- this is a PCI card w/ two USB
ports) and media reader/writer (SanDisk 5-in-1 Imagemate) so I could fill my SD
cards in a reasonable amount of time. I am copying files from my external USB
hard drive (it's an IDE drive in a USB enclosure). About the fourth time I
copied a directory of .oggs the write hung. Killing the process that is doing
the copy has no effect -- kill -9 does not remove it, it is just completely
hung. System can't even be rebooted to get rid of it, as drives will not
umount; I have to power cycle (would appreciate any advice on avoiding this).
The problem does not seem to manifest when copying data to an intermediary
directory, nor if the write device is on a slower USB port; owing to the
annoying nature of reproducing this (i.e. requiring reboot) I haven't had
abundant opportunities to explore this, but it seems to manifest ONLY when both
devices are on the fast USB ports.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# uname -a
Linux desktop.sosiouxme.net 2.6.10-1.760_FC3 #1 Wed Feb 2 00:14:23 EST 2005 i686
athlon i386 GNU/Linux
How reproducible:
Perhaps 1 in 3 times I try to copy a directory of ~50 MB.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Hook up two high-speed USB 2.0 devices to card ports as described.
2. Copy ~50MB data from one to the other. Try a few times.
Actual results:
Write hangs, both devices "busy", write process(es) cannot be halted.
Expected results:
Data copied, devices free to unmount.

State funding per student within the Texas A&M System will decrease by more than 17 percent if a budget cut is as large as officials have been asked to prepare for.This is great news for Texas taxpayers: we've reduced the cost of higher education!
The state provides $7,529 per student within the 11-university A&M System this biennium, the two-year period that began September 2009.
The projected funding per student for the biennium that begins September 2011 is $6,230.
That's based on a 10 percent state reduction -- as officials have been asked to plan for -- the loss of federal stimulus money and a 6 percent enrollment increase. Calvert said that's a conservative estimate and the system's enrollment is likely to increase by closer to 10 percent.

Today we got our sample wedding cake… and it was quite a productive meeting! Brian's neighbor has a cake shop in Germantown and she is giving us a discount! I have been pretty good about finding wedding discounts… cake, photography, save the dates (that we will have to scrap because we changed our date, but still….) I'll have to do a whole other post on wedding discounts!
Brian and I met with Christine to talk about what kind of cake we wanted and just hash out some other details. At first we wanted to just have a white cake with white designs on it because it wasn't that big of a deal to us, but now I think we are going to do something fun and out of the box… but we showed the cake designer the coral cake below, and she asked if we wanted her to whip it up really quick so we could see how the ruffles would look. ummm, yes!
Brian was very adamant on getting chocolate cake with cherry filling because he loved the black forest cake he had for his high school graduation that was from cake and bake. I kinda wanted red velvet cake, but we are going to compromise and he will get to pick the flavors and I will pick the design and look of the cake since that's what is important to us.
When we got it home to try, I cut really big pieces kind of on accident… we got the non-dairy whipped topping because it is better for the hot summer months and with the ruffles it is A LOT of whipped cream!

Production Updates, Announcements and the Monday Movie Meme
After a brief hiatus, The Monday Movie Meme will return in two weeks, on January 28th. I've also narrowed the potential editors for my short film down to two guys, so one will hopefully be selected by this weekend. I'm currently logging (hours of) footage -- a tedious and sometimes frustrating, but necessary, task so as to aid in a smooth post-production process.
I've been assigned to devour the Oscars for The Lamb sometime between now and February 24th. I have to cover the Best Original Score category, so that should be fun.
Also, remember when I participated in the Blogging from A to Z Challenge last spring? Well, a few months ago, I accepted an invitation to become a host for this year's A to Z Challenge! That means I am among the 12 co-hosts for the 2013 Blogging from A to Z Challenge headed by the main host and founder, Arlee Bird at Tossing It Out. There are lots of administrative, organizing, developing, monitoring and general oversight duties that goes along with the hosting position but rather than bore you all with those details, I'm going to sum up the fun and most important part of this event...
The Blogging from A to Z Challenge is an annual blogathon that takes place in April where bloggers here and abroad post a blog every day centered on a different letter of the alphabet. Since its inception, the A to Z Challenge has been growing by the number of participants each year. There were well over 1,700 participants in 2012 and this year is expected to be bigger than ever. Anyone (yes, including YOU) can participate. More details can be found at the A to Z Blog. The sign-up list opens on January 30th.
Here are the Co-Hosts for the 2013 A to Z Challenge:
Arlee Bird at Tossing It Out
Tina Downey at Life is Good
Alex J. Cavanaugh
Damyanti Biswas at Amlokiblogs
Jeremy Hawkins at Retro Zombie
Shannon Lawrence at The Warrior Muse
Stephen Tremp at Breakthrough Blogs
DL Hammons at Cruising Altitude 2.0
Matthew MacNish at The QQQE
Konstanz Silverbow at No Thought Too Small
Nicole Ayers at The Madlab Post
Livia Peterson at Leave It to Livia
Last but not least, I will be introducing you all to the cast (and maybe a few crew members as well) of my short film, in the coming weeks. I also realized that the King Dong series slipped my mind over the holidays, so we will be revamping that as well. If there are any actors who you would like to nominate for a spotlight, let me know and I will get on it as soon as I can.
As always, thanks for reading. You guys (and gals) rock!

I tend to be the odd one out on the lower scale when this question is raised. And people are astonished to hear how few there have been in my life. I just say "Well, that's all I needed, I was always satisfied and didn't miss a thing up to now." and that settles it. I don't care honestly as long as they aren't involved with me intimately, but a really high number would put a questionmark on my face. Maybe because my own needs have been so different from those who seem to collect partners in a way and I can't even remotely imagine how one can have over 80 or 100 partners at my age as I don't even need my second hand to count my score ^.^
But I guess, if I take the frequency I have had in my relationships up to now and put that into a number with random partners, well sure, it is possible to reach the higher numbers. Wouldn't have had the energy for that. Each time getting to know new people and create those situations ... I am too lazy for it (And never really had the opportunity, as I have always been in some kind of monogamous relationship till last year )
Facts: 30, female, bi, v-type relationship with Sward (husband, straight, mono) and Lin (boyfriend, straight, mono), poly-fi and co-primary.

The leftover Halloween candy is long gone, so I decided to make a healthy version of my favorite fun-size treat, the Almond Joy. It's got the chocolate, it's got the coconut, and it's got the almonds. And it's got health benefits! What more could you want? Here's what I threw in the blender:
- 1 cup almond milk
- ½ cup coconut milk
- 1 tsp flaxseed
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- ½ tsp almond extract
- 1 tsp shredded coconut
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
Note: Don't let the almond extract freak you out! Ever since I ordered it on Vitacost, I've been adding it to oatmeal, baked goods, coffee, and smoothies. It's pretty awesome.

This isn't really relevant to the world of Exmortis - but all the same, you guys might find this interesting...
I've recently been contacted by the wonderful Jay Bibby of www.jayisgames.com who gave my Exmortis2 game a hell of a lot of support when it was first unleashed upon the world. (You may even pick a small plug for his website within that game somewhere...)
As most Americans are aware (and a smaller number of internationalists such as I) Halloween is on the horizon once again, and Jay has charged me with doing something special for his website and the mutiltude of people that visit daily.
Unfortunately Exmortis3 is no where near completion, so I am putting in to work a rather rushed game (in time for Halloween) which is currently under the working title of "Retrospect"
It's another cinematic horror point n' click game, but because I have been sired with this task and left with less than a month to complete the project, there is no way in hell that Retrospect will be as polished, multi-layered, complexly narrated nor as lengthy as any of the Exmortis games that I have done thus far.
It will be short, sweet, packed full of atmosphere right from the start, abundant in shocks and brutally adult (not XXX adult you perverts - general fucked up themes that only adults could ever talk about!)
I can't give away too much more information at this stage, as it will give away the plot which I intend to unfold as you work through the dozen or so scenes.
But fear not - Exmortis3 is still in the works, but I just haven't had enough time to devote to it lately. I have a few weeks of annual leave approaching, so maybe I'll take the opportunity to put some decent work in to it then. It's hard to get motivated with such a massive task ahead of me, but as it was with the first 2 games - once I'll get in to a rhythm, it's fucking hard to stop...
One more thing - cheers to everyone for their kind feedback. I'm glad to see that everyone is still keen on the Exmortis story which will conclude shortly...

"Conserving Water To Save Our Rivers" PSA Contest entries must be 60 seconds or less and address the importance of protecting our water resources and the St. Johns River system. We are not looking for entries that simply provide water conservation tips. We want kids to raise awareness by challenging viewers to examine how we use water, to understand why it is important to conserve water and the consequences of over-use, and to consider how to sustainably protect the St. John River and our groundwater resources. We expect this to be a challenging task for kids to tackle in 60-seconds or less, but never underestimate the talents and creativity of our youth.
All of the decisions that involve how we use our groundwater and the surface waters from our rivers are being decided by politicians and adult decision-makers. The PSA Contest will provide our youth with the opportunity to have a voice in the debate and to help raise awareness about an issue that impacts their lives, as well. In fact, any problems that should arise from the decisions that we make will fall to our kids to bear and to solve.
For more information, visit the St. Johns Riverkeeper website at
On the PSA Contest page of our website is a really cool video about the Contest that was created by our partners in this project, Team Gaia.
Also, there is a video posted on the Florida Times-Union website about the Contest.

Below is the unedited version of a recent letter written by Jimmy Orth, Executive Director of St. Johns Riverkeeper, that appeared in the Florida Times-Union:
Everyone in NE FL seems to be in opposition to the proposals by Central Florida and the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) to withdraw millions of gallons of water a day from the St. Johns River. Most local governments have passed resolutions in opposition to the plan. Mayor Peyton and many of our state legislators are concerned that these proposals will harm the river. Everyone also acknowledges that we have to do a much better job of using our limited water resources more responsibly and efficiently. Even the SJRWMD claims to support an expansion of water conservation measures. Unfortunately, our actions don't correspond with our rhetoric. Each day, I see businesses and residents watering at the wrong time of the day or too frequently with sprinklers that are not properly adjusted. Recently, I reported a problem at a city-owned property where the sprinklers have been operating every day for at least 2 weeks, extending beyond the10AM rule and pouring thousands of gallons of water on the adjacent street. Four days after reporting the problem to the city, the sprinklers were still running. In NE FL, we have not adopted mandatory water conservation measures and our utilities provide few incentives for conservation. Even though the SJRWMD has said that conservation could postpone the water withdrawal plans, they continue to rubber stamp consumptive use permits (CUPs) for the withdrawal of our groundwater. In 2007, permits were issued that total 2.845 million gallons a day (mgd) for golf courses, 1.74 mgd for sod farms, 4.31 mgd for a fish farm, .769 for water bottling plants, and 1.296 mgd to a Cocoa Beach surf shop for its cooling and air condition. That is a total of 10.96 mgd or over 4 billion gallons of water a year. These are just some of the more egregious or excessive permits and only the tip of the iceberg in terms of the total amount of water that is permitted each year for withdrawal from our aquifer. Now, the SRJRWMD wants to allow Seminole County to withdraw 5.5 million gallons per day from the river to be used primarily for irrigation purposes. The bottom line is that we have not taken water conservation seriously, and we absolutely must. We must provide more effective education, substantially increase incentives and markedly improve and strengthen regulations that govern water use. Using over 50% of our potable water on our lawns and shrubs is no longer an option, and we must start using drought-tolerant landscaping practices. We also have to start making prudent decisions about the appropriate uses and how we prioritize and allocate this essential public resource. Now is the time for us to decide – do we continue to just talk a good game or do we also start demonstrating our commitment by taking aggressive and more responsible actions. Yes, we all oppose the plans to take water from the river. But, we must also take responsibility and conserve our water resources to the point that there is no need to withdraw water from our river in the first place.

Damn Yankee
The St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) has announced that it is recommending approval of a permit by Seminole County to take up to 5.5 million gallons of water a day (mgd) from the St. Johns River at its Yankee Lake facility primarily for irrigation uses.
This comes right on the heels of the SJRWMD announcing that it will spend nearly $2 million of our taxpayer dollars to study the potential impacts of the withdrawal proposals over the next 2 years. We certainly support further studies before any withdrawal decisions are made. However, the District's decision to recommend approval of the Yankee Lake project permit before the study has even begun gives the impression that the study is just window-dressing for a done deal.
The Yankee Lake permit will be voted on by the SJRWMD Governing Board at their next meeting in Palatka on March 11th. Even though the SJRWMD staff is recommending approval, the Governing Board can vote to deny the permit application. Write or e-mail the Governing Board members and let them know what you think about this permit and the water withdrawal proposals in general.
If you can, try to attend the meeting on March 11th, as well. We need to show up in force and let the Governing Board members know that they have an obligation to protect our St. Johns River and our water resources.
For contact information for the Governing Board, visit the Riverkeeper website and click on the image in the Current News section or go directly to http://www.stjohnsriverkeeper.org/thirstthreatens.asp.

Where's Charlie?
Last week, the U.S. Court of Appeals overturned a ruling by the district court that would have allowed the Army Corps of Engineers and Georgia to enter into an agreement for water rights to the Lake Lanier reservoir. The decision was viewed as a victory for Florida and Alabama.
Governor Crist applauded the court for "recognizing the importance of maintaining Florida's water flow."
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection Secretary, Michael Sole, also supported the ruling, saying that lower river flows would harm Apalachiacola Bay.
Why don't they apply that same logic to another one of our state's most important rivers, the St. Johns?
Similar to the situation in Georgia, the St. Johns is also threatened by plans to reduce its flow by using its waters to supplement the drinking water needs of communities that have reached their water supply limits.
The St. Johns River water withdrawal proposals could be just as harmful to an important and fragile aquatic ecosystem. In fact, the rate of flow of the St. Johns is less than the Apalachiacola and the tidal influences are much greater. This results in the St. Johns not being able to flush pollutants efficiently to begin with.
The bottom line is this: Less freshwater and less flow are bad for BOTH rivers.
Governor, when are you going to stand up and defend the St. Johns River, too?
Let's maintain the flow in the St. Johns, as well.

Kimono Painting
Great morning painting a kimono. I had a smallish 18 x 24 canvas, and I think this may call for a really big painting. The model will be posing for 3 more days and I just might have to get out a 5 ft tall canvas to really get into the kimono. I will have to check my supply of cadmium red light.

SUBCON Painting LTD
Subcon Painting were the first interior painters that I called when I needed to get a few rooms in my house in Columbus, Ohio painted. Now that I need an Exterior Painter, they are the painting company that I will be calling again. I didn't have to put any money down and I paid my bill after all the work was inspected! Now that is service! My walls needed a little help since the last time that I had painted, so Subcon Painting did some drywall repair and wood repair on the trim work. They even did the wallpaper removal! After Subcon Painting is done with my Exterior painting of the house, I am going to get them started on my decks and fences!

Here are some of the things we've been up to:
Christine Brewster came and gave a workshop on willow weaving. In the morning we made a trivet and basket, and then in the afternoon we moved on to more challenging things and using a sort of 'freestyle' weaving made sculptures.
It was a very productive day and we were all pleased with our efforts.
The day before was Medallion Quilt day - and another of these beautiful quilts was completed:
The day before that was Pitch and Stitch - and Dawn brought along the lovely picture she has needle-felted:
Then we went on our lovely holiday in France. We stayed at Les Jincheres in the Deux Sevres and had a wonderful time. As you can see from the weather house
On our return we discovered some new inhabitants at Lorne Hill Farm:
Last Wednesday we had the last day of the Beginner's Sampler course. Everyone had done so well and Carole had actually finished! Although not a complete beginner, Carole wanted to do the course to try out stitchery and applique. She chose to make her quilt to celebrate her daughter's trip over to the other side of the world and so all the pictures were relevant to her travels. It was so funny one day when we were all sorting out our blocks and talking about hearts and flowers when Carole said "Has anyone seen my Sidney Opera House?"
Finally, we went into Newbury to see the Olympic Torch. It was far more exciting than I expected and I don't think I've ever seen so many people in town - all happy and cheering

Lessons Learned: Don't Give Up
There are few things in the world that will actually draw a few tears of misery to spring from my eyeballs.
One, of course, being locked outside in this weather. Which has happened quite often this winter. I could go on about how I had to resort to untying our hammock from the trees with numb fingers and then huddling in a mass ball on our doorstep, but that has no importance for today. Instead, today is focused on what happened to me last night, or rather this morning.
I'm sure I'm not the only that has had this happen to them. And for those of you who do understand my pain – I'm sorry. I would only wish this stuff onto my enemies.
I had an assignment due at 11:59 pm. Naturally, I started at 8:30ish. It was for Economics and the writing portion was slowly but eventually finished. All that was left was drawing the graphs/diagrams. Now, this normally is easy for any other subject, but graphs for Economics? That's a whole other ballpark.
So there I was, fumbling around with the "insert lines" feature of Pages, twisting and increasing the lengths of lines to create a somewhat decent diagram (and I'm sure there was an easier way to do this – but I'm not Pages savy or Word savy for that matter), when Pages decides that it hates me and so shuts down. Shuts. Down. Just. Like. That.
I swore in both Spanish and English, even adding my own made up swear words. Even if he'd been served actual shit on a stick, Chef Ramsey would have had nothing on me with the amount of swearing that transpired in our kitchen. (I like doing homework next to the 'fridge.)
I booted Pages back up and crossed my fingers. Whole lot of good that did. My work was gone, probably floating around laughing its ass off at how screwed I was.
So I let a few angry misery-filled tears out and slammed my fist onto the table, waking my mom up. (It surprised me that she had slept through the cuss fest) She padded into the kitchen, took one look at my face, and immediate motherly concern took hold of her.
"What's wrong?"
"I just failed Economics for the quarter."
"What? Why?"
"It's 11:00 and my homework's due before midnight."
"My work just got deleted in front of my eyes. It's gone."
"The heck if I know!"
"So you have to do it again?"
"Even if I start right now, it won't be done before 12."
"So you have to do it again?"
"It will still be late."
"So you have to do it again?"
*drops head on table with a sigh* "Yeah, mom. I'm doing it all over again right now."
"Don't fall asleep in class tomorrow."
And she leaves.
So I did it all over again and turned it in after midnight. Very sucky, but at least I did it. I had been contemplating just saying "screw it" and go to bed, but I didn't. I very well could have though.
Why didn't I? Because, even a 50 is better than 0. And I want to graduate. And go to college. And then get a job. And succeed in this world. Survive, live, and prosper, right?
I do not want to end up in a cardboard box across from Frank with the long beard full of bits of food and ants.
So, moral of the story is Don't Give Up.
But who knows, Frank may actually be a cool guy.
And if there were any color markers lying around, the cardboard box could be pretty and homey too.

VLADIVOSTOK, December 28 (Itar-Tass) - Two tugs of the Japanese Coast Guard have come to the rescue of Russia's trawler Alanet that is in distress in the Pacific Ocean. They have the task to tow the Alanet vessel to Hakodate port, Captain of Vladivostok seaport Alexander Kuvshinov told Itar-Tass on Friday.
The Russian trawler met with an emergency on Thursday, being in the Pacific Ocean in the area of Cape Erimo of the Japanese island of Hokkaido. The vessel's main engine broke down, the Alanet lost speed and began drifting in the stormy weather with four-metre-high waves and wind gusts of 15-18 metres per second.
The Vladivostok-based Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre received a distress signal from the trawler, but as the ship was in the area of ··responsibility of Japanese sea rescue services, the information about Alanet was passed to them. The Japanese Coast Guard sent two tugs to help the Russian fishermen. On Thursday night they approached the Alanet vessel and are currently getting ready to start towing.
The Alanet is owned by the Kamchatka-based company Kamchatrybprom. The ship has a crew of 24.

Yesterday when I came home from work early (more snow), there was a sleepy weatherman in my bed. By sleepy I mean passed out. You see, he had been out in the snow all night, doing live shots for his TV station. I sometimes wonder why he does this, but I'm sure he wonders why I do a lot of things, like why I freak out if my sleeves get a tiny bit bunched up inside my jacket. Sometimes it's best to just let these things go.
I realized a sleepy weatherman would soon turn into a hungry weatherman, so I made him some pancakes. I know. I'm just nice like that, on occasion. I also wanted to do something nice for him so maybs he would come play in the snow with me later. A bribe of sorts. It worked.
What was that? You want me to come make pancakes for you? Oh well, I – we hardly know each other, I mean…pancakes? That's a pretty big step in our relationship. Not sure if I'm ready for that. But…well…ok. Don't tell anyone though, I don't want everyone thinking I just go around making pancakes for whomever. Here you go:
Banana Bread Pancakes
Makes 4-6 servings, about 18 pancakes
3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 TBS light brown sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 cups plain yogurt
3 eggs
1/4 cup milk
2 TBS melted butter, cooled
1 1/2 cups mashed bananas (about 2 medium bananas, really ripe ones)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1. If you're cooking the pancakes right away, begin to heat 2 tsp of butter or neutral oil (i.e. corn or canola) in a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together both flours, baking soda, salt, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Make a well in the center and set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, eggs, and milk. Whisk in the cooled melted butter and the vanilla, then add the mashed banana and stir to combine.
4. Add the yogurt mixture to the well in the dry ingredients. Stir very gently just until combined…the batter will be lumpy. Lumpy batter is ok. (At this point, the batter can be stored, covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. You can have fresh pancakes tomorrow too!)
5. Check the pan to see if it's hot enough by splashing a little water on it…the water should dance across the skillet. (I really love this idea of your ingredients dancing around.) If it is, pour pancake batter by 1/4 cups into the pan, leaving enough space between pancakes for easy flippage. Let pancakes cook for 2-4 minutes. When the edges have started to set and there are bubbles in the middle of the pancake, it's time! Flip away.
Let pancakes cook on the other side for 2ish minutes, until browned. Serve hot with butter, syrup, peanut butter, NUTELLA. Whatever you like! (Pancakes can also be kept warm in a low oven, 200ºF, on an ovenproof plate.)
*Optional mix-ins, to be scattered across the surface of the pancake when you first pour it in the pan: chocolate chips, toasted and chopped walnuts or pecans, blueberries, sliced strawberries, more sliced banana. Get creative and customize those pancakes!
Warning – this is what happens when you give pancakes to a boy and tell him to put whatever he wants on them:
Go make pancakes for someone, either just to be nice or as a bribe. Or just make them for yourself. That's equally acceptable. Happy baking and breakfast-ing!

I suspect that the high level of apathy among voters in America stems from the fact that analyzing most issues give them a headache. As I've gotten older, I've realized there are no easy answers. If you follow the effects of trying to do something good, eventually you find yourself doing something bad.
Take electric cars. I love the uproar about how wonderful electric cars are, because they don't use fossil fuels. Hey, folks, how do you think we get electricity? Frequently, it's from burning coal. It's a dirty fossil fuel, but at least it comes from America, rather than the Middle East.
The whole concept of dilemmas hit home for me this week when I went to visit a new store in town called Sprouts. It's best described as a competitor to Whole Foods — very organic, very healthy. I was frankly hoping I wouldn't like it, because I don't like finding new places to spend money. But it had a terrific meat counter (which means I don't have to schlep 10 miles at Thanksgiving for free-range turkey), a nice selection of locally grown produce, and a dazzling array of bulk foods.
I especially like the latter. If there's one thing that gets me cranky, it's overpackaging in the consumer packaged goods industry. (Last week I received some DVDs from Amazon. Can you please tell me why, if a DVD is not going to be on a shelf in a retail store, it has to be wrapped in cellophane to keep the DVD from being stolen?) The idea of being able to buy snacks and cooking ingredients sans boxes and waxed paper innards just makes me go all gooey inside.
Then I remembered that my local produce stand, called Sunnymount, also had bulk bins that I hadn't gotten diving into. As wonderfully spacious and bright as Sprouts was, I realized its layout was enticing me, not necessarily the product. Sunnymount is small and quaint and compact — and local. Sprouts has 51 stores in 4 states and, according to its Web site, is one of the fastest-growing retailers in the U.S.
As the non-profit Institute for Local Self-Reliance points out, when you spend $100 at a local business, $45 says within the community. If you spend $100 at a chain, $14 stays within the community. Case closed, in the local retailer's favor?
Not in the least. Life just isn't that simple. In addition to its locally grown produce, Sunnymount also has tropical fruits (you can have my papayas when you pry them from my cold dead fingers). In the winter, it sells produce flown up from South America (I think; I'm afraid to ask how far it's travelled). Sunnymount may be small and quaint, but its carbon footprint is pure 21st century.
So now I'm really flummoxed. If I add Sprouts to my shopping list, then I'm using more gas to become more environmentally friendly. If I continue to shop at Sunnymount, I'm supporting a local retailer … and several freight airlines.
I feel another headache coming on. I wonder how far the ibuprofen traveled to get here.

Norcodrene Reviews - What Is It?
WARNING: DO NOT BUY Norcodrene Until You Read This Review!
Is it a Scam? Does It Really Work? Check Ingredients, Side Effects and More!
In order to reach your bodybuilding goals starts you will need to get rid of unnecessary fat at first. Sometimes, having a low-fat diet and exercising at the gym can be not enough for making your body burn fat. For this reason, the modern market offers many different fat burners. In this article we are going to review Norcodrene which is formulated to intensify human metabolic rate and burn fat. Let us check out whether Norcodrene can really help you to achieve your weight loss goals.
Norcodrene is a fat burning diet pill that is manufactured by company called PEScience (Physique Enhancing Science) in the USA. The company also offers other products designed for athletes and people who want to improve their shape. There is an official website that is not abundant with information, though. A potential customer will not be able to find complete data about all the ingredients used in the supplement. One bottle of Norcodrene contains 90 capsules (30 day supply).
Ingredients of Norcodrene - Does It Really Work? Is It a Scam?
The manufacturer does not give characteristics of all ingredients of Norcodrene it makes me suspect that there is something wrong with them. Either some of them are allergic, unnatural or are used in the wrong combination. There is no evidence of any studies conducted on the components of the supplement as well. Its manufacturers only claim that it is a fat burner that is loaded with thoroughly picked ingredients. The latter are said to decrease flab by applying four major effects - influencing body's thermogenesis, increasing energy levels, decreasing unnecessary cravings and improving the mood.
So, let us have a look at Norcodrene ingredients which are promised to be all-natural. Caffeine is the main component in the product. It increases the body's metabolism but it can be harmful for some people due to its stimulant properties, especially if a user suffers from heart disease, hypertension or psychological and emotional issues. For this reason, caffeine can be used only by healthy people who can mildly improve their mental focus. The precise amount of caffeine in the product is unknown for sure.
Cirsium Oligophyllum is often associated with the thistle growing in Europe and Africa. It has been long used as a food source, that is why its ability to make the body burn fat is under great doubt. Norcodrene manufacturer just mentions that it utilizes the stored fat for energy.
Cirsium Japonicum has been used in traditional Chinese medicine as an anti-hypertensive, uretic, and anti-hemorrhagic agent. Nothing is mentioned about its ability to optimize lipolysis in online resources.
Selaginella Tamariscina Extract contains a type of flavonoid called Amentoflavone. There is not enough clinical evidence, however, that amentoflavone improves wakefulness and alertness among participants, but it is quite helpful when going through psychological stress. It has nothing to do with burning fat or losing weight. Grapefruit (seed) Extract is known to be a natural disinfectant and hair and skin cleanser. In addition, it has been proven to contain bioflavonoids and antioxidants that help us to be protect from illnesses.
Customer Reviews - Does It Have Any Side Effects?
There is not even one word about Norcodrene side effects on the official website. Why has not the manufacturer informed of such important information? The product may simply be ineffective and carry some potential dangers. There are limited studies of the ingredients that is why you can find little information about the possible side effects of the product's components. One of its ingredients, Higenamine, is under-researched, and can be dangerous as it is usually associated with the properties of stimulants, such as an ability to increase heart rate and sweating, cause heart palpitations, etc.
Cirsium Oligophyllum, Selaginella Tamariscina and Japanese Thistle may be also associated with many side effects, especially when used by consumers who have be allergic to stimulants or suffer from certain health problems (high blood pressure). Caffeine can be the reason of increased blood pressure, severe headaches, heart palpitations, high heart rate, increased urination, dehydration, jitteriness, and insomnia.
Yohimbe can lead to a wide variety of side effects, including excitation, stomach upset, tremor, anxiety, sleep problems, agitation, high blood pressure, dizziness, a racing heartbeat, stomach problems, sinus pain, drooling, irritability, frequent urination, headache, bloating, nausea, rash, and vomiting. High doses of Yohimbe can cause life-threatening effects. If you experience any side effects, immediately stop using Norcodrene. Do not use it in combination with any other stimulants or caffeine, drink less tea, coffee, and soda. Consult your doctor if you are taking other dietary supplements or medications on a regular basis.
Do not combine Norcodrene with alcohol. The product should be used only by healthy adults. Do not use the supplement under extreme conditions of sleep deprivation, heat, or dehydration. Here are some of the users' reviews about their experience of using the product.
"I saw that Norcodrene has built a great fanbase so I decided to be one of the people who succeed to shed fat. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed because it did not work for me at all. I guess this satisfied clients are not real"
"I started taking Norcodrene two months ago. At first, it seemed to be quite gentle on the stomach, but then I started noticing very unpleasant adverse reactions such as cold sweats and crazy jitters. I think I am sensitive to yohimbine"
"I did not have a chance to try norcodrene because I had a conflict with its staff. At first, they told me that I would not have to pay for the shipping but then I learnt that I had. When my parcel arrived, I saw that it was damaged. All I could do is to send it them back. What an awful service!"
Where To Buy Norcodrene?
Norcodrene is available from the manufacturer's official website and many different online retailers. You can buy it from Amazon for $30 plus shipping. From Walmart, you can buy one bottle for $38 plus shipping. GNC offer Norcodrene for $33 plus delivery.
My Final Summary
I do not think that Norcodrene can take proper care of your health. The supplement has a limited number of clinical studies involving humans. The official website does not provide ingredients quantities. PEScience offers a 100% money back guarantee if the bottle was not opened. Even though Norcodrene is an interesting diet pill but it contains unknown ingredients which seem to be ineffective in fat burning. Besides, the risk of getting side effects is quite high. So, I would recommend you to look for some other weight-loss pills on the market.
Affordable Alternative
Many modern doctors are sure that the most effectively the problem of excessive weight can be solved with the products increasing human metabolism and burning fat and calories. Luckily, there is such a product on the market. It is known as PhenQ. They are completely natural and effective. I recommend you reading my review about PhenQ. I believe your life will be changed with this product!

Don't get me wrong, it's been suggested many times before. I'm just not sure who was "expecting" it to happen. Logically it would have made sense since he's been the worst starter for Atlanta. But that's only because Horacio hasn't been given a chance to stink up the joint (he got hurt in his first start and has been out until now). Its likely that Sosa is better stuited for the pen than Horacio, and if that's the deciding factor, fine. But Ramirez is definitely not the superior starter.Havok1517 wrote:Rototimes...
Jorge Sosa allowed five runs and nine hits in 5 2/3 innings Saturday in his first start in 11 days.
Sosa pitched just 1 2/3 innings during his break, so that he was inconsistent once again today hardly came as a surprise. He's expected to be sent to the bullpen once Horacio Ramirez comes off the disabled list.
Now, this may change with the Davies injury, although it looked like minor discomfort.

I've been sick. So sick that I didn't feel like cooking - or even looking at food.
Back in the day before the term *special diet* ever entered my vocabulary, I wouldn't have worried about it - Dan and Andy would be able to fend for themselves with take out or ordering pizza or something. Unfortunately, that is not reality for many of us these days. So, sick as I was I started thinking about what they could eat.
Then I remembered that I am a Bzz Agent and that I had recently signed up for the Boston Market campaign after looking on their website and seeing they did have some GFCF items - and enough to make a meal.
They do have a pretty hefty disclaimer on their allergen page on their website: This list is compiled based on production information provided by Boston Market approved food manufacturers as of the date published. Boston Market does not guarantee that cross-contact with other gluten-containing products or allergens will not occur. We encourage anyone with food sensitivities, allergies, or special dietary needs to check back on a regular basis for up-to-date information.
Because of this disclaimer I made sure that Dan questioned the manager and staff before ordering - the manager was great - Dan said that he took our food only out of pans that hadn't been touched. It is great to have another option for food now. The boys were able to eat and I was able to get some needed rest.
The items that are both gluten and casein free are: (if you are only gluten free, you have many more choices)
Entrees -
Rotisserie Chicken
USDA Choice Roasted Sirloin
Sides -
Cinnamon Apples
Cranberry Walnut Relish
Fresh Fruit Salad
Fresh Steamed Veggies
Garden Fresh Coleslaw
My guys had the Chicken, coleslaw and apples. They loved it so much, they had the same thing the next night! Andy did not have a reaction at all - we are so pleased.
Here is a link to a $2 off coupon when you spend $10.

In the past month, I went to watch two movies at cinema.. and a number of DVDs at home.. with my beloved Hubby.. But now, it's all about the cinema movie..
the first movie after we got married..well…for this one, it was a prompt decision..actually my hubby and I didn't plan to watch any that night.. went to watch at Queensbay Mall.. initially,we went there to buy bath towel for myself, since I only brought one over here. As there was more time, and 'coincidentally' the movie was just about to begin, we decided to give it a go. Lucky thing we watch it after we got married! there were just too many 'nude' scenes, although it's just an animation.. kalo xkawin lagi,mesti dah blush..xsenang duduk..hehe..
Actually this was the movie I wanted to watch, instead of Beowulf..but Queensbay Mall didn't screen this movie.. this time, we went to Gurney Plaza.. It was an interesting movie..not too bad lah..I didn't have high expectations after all (it's a good thing).. One thing that I'd like to highlight from the movie is..a part when the falling star (played by Claire Danes) confessed to the guy (can't really remember the actor's and his character's name) that she loves him when he became a mouse after a witch casted a spell on him.. She said, she doesn't need him to tell her he loves her, or show her affections..what she needs is his heart..to know that she has his heart is enough.. that made me think..I should think and feel the same way as she is.. you see,I don't mind if my hubby doesn't say 'I Love You' often..but I would feel a bit distanced if he doesn't hold my hands when we go out together..if he just ignores me when we sit side by side watching tv.. I still feel that somehow I need him to show his affections towards me all the time..teruk eh?tsktsk.. mula2 lepas tgk cite tu macam nak ubah sikap..but after some time,benda sama jadi balik..nak gak dia tnjk affection..

The analysis/evaluation bit of the presentation was cut short today (apologies). Here are some of the notes and some things to think about, which were meant to be in the discussion.
Naddaff, along with Pinault and Todorov, approach 1001 Nights from a certain narratological perspective, taking into account the nature of the material (structure, textual correspondences, and metaphoric strategies).
- Todorov suggests that every narrative is an "illustration of character." And he defines character as a potential story that is the story of his life. Todorov suggests that we are in the realm of narrative men. Naddaff would contest this ideology because, with the exception of the important opening/closing frames of the text, the dominant and en-framing narrative voice is that of a woman (In Porter).
Narrative is what wins attention from another, not the events within the stories themselves – it's in how you tell it. If you don't connect, then you disappear like the porter.
- Naddaff believes readers' need the original language to get depth from the figurative language, to make connections between hearer and listener. Pinault agrees that knowing the language can enhance understanding of word connotations (root s-kh-t) (pg. 510-511). He notes how individual manuscript redactors are employed – and sometimes modified – in ways that are consistent with the themes emphasized in particular versions of a tale. Narrative structure in this diverse collection of stories sheds light on the relationship of the embedded subordinate-narrative to the overarching frame-tale.
- Irwin's "Street Entertainments" – 2 worlds in terms of class differences. Naddaff discusses these two worlds in terms of speech and gender (literal/figurative, male/female) as Katherine mentioned during the summation today.
- Naddaff compares narrative repetition of the decorative form of arabesque. Arabesque, in Islamic Art, is decoration consisting of "surface decorations bases on rhythmic linear patters of scrolling and interlacing foliage, tendrils or plain lines…" She argues that the goal of both arabesque and narrative repetition and this heightened use of language is to create a counter-realist realm, a virtual reality, beyond the temporal.

First and foremost...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY INCREDIBLE/TALENTED/GENIUS/BEAUTIFUL/INSPIRING SISTER (also known as "Ma Soeur")!!!
If you're one of the unlucky who does not have a Trader Joe's in your area, then I apologize in advance. Because it's pretty much one of the best things that's happened to me since moving to New York. If you do have one in your area, then read on! I discover something new at TJ's almost every week so I hope you find something new and delicious here.
[NOTE: Not all these things are particularly healthy. I focus on the packaged goods b/c that's what is Trader Joe's-specific, not because I think processed food is good for you!)
Jalapeno-Cilantro Hummus
I know it sounds weird, but it's creamy, spicy deliciousness and goes perfectly with pita, crackers, crudite, and your fingers. I LOVE this stuff.
Wintry Blend
Only the best winter coffee blend ever. Unfortunately it's seasonal, so your TJ's may have already stopped carrying it. But DO NOT FEAR, it will be back! I do not exaggerate when I say I've been drinking this stuff for the last 2-3 months every. single. morning. Also? I may or may not be hoarding them in our pantry. (There are currently 6 canisters left. I'm getting nervous.) My favorite? Mixing it with TJ's special Gingerbread blend. HOLIDAY JAVA GOODNESS!
Mini Mint Ice Cream Mouthfuls
Little bites of heaven! Seriously, they are minty, chocolatey goodness and end up not being that awful calorically b/c of its small size. (Of course that's assuming that you don't eat 3 at a time.)
Organic Shells and White Cheddar
I know I know... it's boxed macaroni and cheese. But unlike the blue box, this stuff is organic and every ingredient in the ingredient list is readable and recognizable. I don't eat this stuff a lot, but I try to always keep a box on my shelf for emergency meals (like the other night). I always add broccoli (frozen works great), LOTS of black peppers and a little parmigiano reggiano. I try not to eat the entire box in one sitting.
Vegetable Masala Burgers
I've already waxed poetic about these. Bottom line? Get them. I know 2 people in my NYC life who bought them after reading my blog, and they are huge fans.
Frozen Organic Brown Rice
It's much cheaper than the Whole Foods version. It's organic (there's also a non-organic version that's a tiny bit cheaper, but come on...). It's fast, easy, and tasty, and I always have a box in my freezer. (I cannot say the same for the organic frozen jasmine rice - it doesn't taste like jasmine rice at all. It tastes like very mediocre white rice.)
Barbara's Peanut Butter Puffins
These aren't TJ's brand, but they sell them at mine, and they are most definitely cheaper there than any other grocery store in the city. I used to be a cereal-a-holic. You know, the kind who eats multiple bowls a day, and not the one serving bullshit kind of bowl (I mean, 3/4 cup is NOT a serving), but like the really big bowl with lots of milk kind. Because of these tendencies, I tend to not buy it. But I bought a box the other day and have really been enjoying it as a light breakfast or snack. The puffins are individually sized so perfectly that I only need one for a good bite, and that's how I eat. One puffin in a spoonful of milk per bite. Delicious.
Other things I buy regularly that are way cheaper than they are at Whole Foods:
- fruits and veggies (I hate how TJ's packages some of their produce b/c the packaging is so wasteful and excessive, BUT, I like how cheap the organic options are)
- organic peanut butter
- organic raw honey (comes in a jar and is as raw as it gets)
- maple syrup
- organic olive oil
- salt, pepper and spices (limited selection, but CHEAP)
- Almond Breeze
- greek yogurt w/ honey (my store carries the TJ brand and Fage - the TJ brand is way cheaper and just as good!)
- frozen veggies of every variety
- frozen fruit (for smooooothies)
- nuts & dried fruit (actually I don't buy these much b/c I don't eat them that often, but this is a great place to get them - huge selection, well-priced)
- ground flax (they have a version with dried blueberries - it's delicious)
- pita bread, sliced bread, pizza dough (the dough is fresh, comes in a big mound, and is 99 CENTS, y'all...)
- pasta sauce (my sister and roomie adore the Organic Vodka Sauce)
- fresh ravioli (found in the refrigerated section - I like the portobello mushroom one, but am eager to try the others)

Delta Enterprise Drop Side Cribs Recalled
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), in cooperation with Delta Enterprise Corp., announced a voluntary recall to replace missing safety pegs involving 985,000 drop side cribs. Failure to use or install safety pegs can cause an entrapment and suffocation risk to infants and toddlers.
When the safety pegs in the base of each leg of the crib are missing from the lower track, the crib locks can disengage and detach if lowered below the peg hole, creating a hazardous gap. This gap can lead to the entrapment and suffocation of an infant or toddler.
The recall involves all Delta cribs manufactured in Taiwan or Indonesia, with the "Crib Trigger Lock with Safety Peg" drop side hardware design. These model numbers and country of origin can be located on the mattress support board label: 4320, 4340, 4500, 4520, 4530, 4532, 4540, 4542, 4550, 4551, 4580, 4600, 4620, 4624 (production dates 01/06 thru 11/07), 4640, 4660, 4720, 4735, 4742, 4750 (production dates 01/95 thru 12/00), 4760, 4770, 4780, 4790, 4820, 4840, 4850, 4860, 4880, 4890, 4892, 4900, 4910, 4920, 4925-2, 4925-6, 4930, 4940, 4943, 4944, 4947, 4948, 4949, 4950, 4958, 4963, 4968, 4969, 4980.
The recalled cribs have date codes ranging from 1995 though December 2005 and one model (4624) was made in 2007. The model numbers are located on the top of the mattress support board.
The cribs, which were made in Taiwan and Indonesia, were sold at major retailers, including Walmart, Kmart and Target.com from January 1995 through September 2007 for about $100. These cribs have also been found to be sold secondhand. Cribs currently sold at retail are not involved.
CPSC and Delta urge parents and caregivers to immediately stop using cribs that are missing a safety peg on any leg of the crib and contact Delta to receive a free, easy-to-install repair kit. The kit will include safety pegs in a bold color and warning labels to be affixed to the mattress board. Consumers with cribs that have all safety pegs installed may continue to use the cribs; however, CPSC recommends that these consumers contact Delta for the repair kit for future assembly purposes. Call Delta toll-free at (1-800-816-5304) anytime after 5pm today or log on www.cribrecallcenter.com to order the free replacement kit.
Parents and caregivers are encouraged to find a safe, alternative sleep environment for their child if their recalled crib is missing safety pegs.

The weekend of Oct 23 – 24, we were in Columbia SC at PAALS for annual public access recertification. I'm happy to say that we passed! I need to work with Emmy on a couple of things, to "spiff" her up before next year.
We got back and I went into a series of flares. The Ol' Curmudgeon was not in the best of shape, so we spent about 3 days resting. I had cases due, so I had to work, and he, too, had to work, but we were simply in horrible, horrible shape. I didn't get any grocerying done until that Thursday.
Then the time change hit. Double whammy! So this week I'm trying to "unbleary" the eyes. YIKES!
Emmy is trying to develop an ear infection, and I'm staving it off with thorough ear cleaning and Momentamax. I think we'll have to put her on Atopica pretty soon. She wakes up sneezing every morning, is gnawing her feet and obsessively licking her feet and legs, scratching her head and jaw. I was hoping to hear from IAADP about the possibility of getting a break on the cost of Atopica. Oh, well, we'll have to just bite the bullet. Have to have my Emmy feeling good!!
It's about stopped raining long enough for the yards to dry out, so I'll have to call my new acquaintance and see about getting Emmy and her Border Collie together to play. And now, it's time for me to say good night!

DEBKAfile 6 Oct. 2015: Friday, Oct. 2, the Russian Defense Ministry announced the surprise deployment of a Navy cruiser, the Moskva, armed with 64 S-300 ship-to-air missiles with a range of 150 kilometers opposite the Syrian coastal town of Latakia. They can shoot down any type of missile, including cruise missiles, as well as planes.
Debkafile's military sources point out that Russia, without saying so publicly, has thus created an effective no-fly zone over most of Syria, most of northern Israel, including the Golan, as well as southern Turkey, for US aircraft based there for air strikes in Syria; Cyprus, the site of British air force bases; and Jordan.
With one move, Moscow has imposed a no-fly zone over Syria – which the US has long considered to do.
The presence of the wide-ranging S-300s means that the Turkish, British, Israeli and Jordanian air forces will need to coordinate their aerial operations in Syrian or Lebanese airspace with Russia, or face the risk of their planes being shot down.
In the view of Debkafile's military sources, the only aircraft capable of evading those advanced missiles are stealth planes. If US President Obama truly wanted to deal effectively with Moscow's military move in Syria he would have ordered the deployment of US stealth fighters to Turkey and Israel.
On the topic of the transfer of advanced weaponry to Hizballah, Prime Minister Netanyahu was very clear. "If anybody wants to use Syrian territory to transfer nuclear weapons to Hezbollah, we'll take action." Russia's deputy chief of staff, Gen. Nikolay Bogdanovsky, accompanied by a large military delegation, arrives in Israel for a two-day visit on Tuesday, Oct. 6, to discuss increased coordination between the two militaries.
Sputnik 6 Oct. 2015, quoting the Financial Times: The Russian forces now in place make it very very obvious that the kind of no-fly zone based on the Libyan model imposed by the US and allies is now impossible, unless the coalition is actually willing to shoot down Russian aircraft".
The Russians are just saying, 'keep out of our way'
The Independent 6 Oct.2015 – NATO Secr. General Jens Stoltenberg: The reported incidents of Russia's Air Force reportedly violating Turkey´s airspace on Saturday and Sunday were "very serious", adding: "It doesn't look like accidents." (Deutsche Welle 6 Oct. 2015). And Russia has a considerable amount of troops on the ground in Syria – see also The New York Times 5 Oct. 2015.
Veterans Today 5 oct. 2015: Since 2011, Israel has put an air support and artillery screen over parts of Syria, while a force of at least 800 IDF specialists, air coordinators, car bomb trainers, and special operations commandos have fought against local Syrian village militias.
Last week, Pres. Putin warned Netanyahu that with Russian operations inside Syria, Israel's violations of Syrian sovereignty would now be seen as violations of Russia's sovereignty as well.
LiveLeak: Six Russian fighter jets type Multirole Sukhoi SU – 30 SM have intercepted 4 Israeli McDonnell Douglas F-15's fighter bombers attempting to infiltrate the Syrian coast – and chased them back home. The Israeli F 15 warplanes have been flying over Syrian airspace for months and in particular the coast of Latakia, which is now the bridgehead of the Russian forces in Syria.

The big news leading up to this tour is that guitarist Slash has rejoined the band after walking away due to creative differences in the late 1990s. In the time since, he has starred alongside some of the biggest names in rock 'n roll, playing several Super Bowl halftime shows and an array of other major concerts around the globe.
Both he and Axl Rose have kept their talents very sharp, and fans are looking forward to see what they will churn out in after being reunited and primed for live shows. The set list will certainly hearken back to their glory days of the late 1980s, when they helped to define the full-throttle style of rock 'n roll that defined the era.

Ever heard of the Ultimate Prom Nite? A project by 8tv whereby they hold roadshow tours to major colleges in search of some eligible Prom Kings and Queens and the chosen ones, each from each gender, ultimately will be the glamorous Prom King and Prom Queen of the nite.
In the recent weeks, the 2008 search is under the limelight again.
The entire crew of Ultimate Prom Nite dropped their footsteps in my college.
I saw them when I reached and I decided, nah, I don't want to join. In case I get too occupied with additional things again, my routine gets haywire again. (and in case I get too glamorous) XD
The mass commers are all having sweet sweet holiday but I had to get back to college to do another 'all-black' photo shoot for KDU Idol and for some briefing, therefore I so happened to be in college.
After the briefing, the finalists waited for the photographer while I went for a change into my same black outfit. I took quite some time, I do realise (Oops..!) and when I was out from the washroom, every other finalists were gone from their waiting place.
Then I thought: Oh-ou! I took tooooooo long. They must have already gone up to the photo shooting room! Gosh! And..I turned around to see, and amazingly, most of them had already signed up to go for a shot in the Ultimate Prom Nite and waiting for their turn for make-up.
Alamak. Haha!
And...And...Peiying made a such a right assumption about me 'so gonna' join this competiton. Despite my decision of not wanting to participate, I finally still....signed up. XD
First, I had to wait for my turn for some make-up.
This make-up artist took a very long time to do my make-up for me. I sat there until I'm in the brink of rotting. Hah!
Oh wait.
Warning: The photo below might be potentially disturbing to you as much as it disturbed me. So scroll down more if you want to escape the sight of it.
Too rare a case for me to take such photos. I pondered for a while before I decided to post this photo up publicly. Hahah.
I wanted to see my makeup done by the girl that took her ages to do it, so just allow me to be vain once in a while lah. (Erm...no, but I thought I'm vain every single time?)
She darken my eyebrow a lot when And that was my first time wearing black shades of eyeshadow.
I had to .Pose.Pose.Pose. again.
And I really don't know how.
My body kept slanting to one side.
From front, they all make me look like I'm gonna fall when taking pictures.
Bad photos, bad photos.
"This one or this one?"
"No..No..That one"
Before that,
I were to introduce myself..ya da da da da.
Why do you think you should win the title of the Ultimate Prom Queen?
Because I am 'this' and 'that' and..............(I don't know what to say)..and and I can sing!
Alamak. Unrelated. This is not a singing competition ok!
What qualities do you think an Ultimate Prom King should possess?
(I like this question! Is like asking me to say the qualities of my dream guy...and *starts dreaming*)
I think he should be.....*Whee..!*
Why do you think people should vote for you? Because....I am Soooo good!
And for the last part, I'm supposed to strongly promote my stand and to get votes from audiences, some continuous self-praise for a minute. I thought: Ookay, no sweat. This requires the thickskinness in a person, and I've got it all~! No worries.
On my cue, 3..2..1..go.
"Hi, I'm Fern. I'm 18 this year and I'm now studying Diploma in Mass Comm at KDU College Penang. I think I'm most eligible to be the Ultimate Prom Queen, because first of all, I'm a confident person and........I can sing! " (Tak ada kaitan again)
"I not only can sing, besides that, I'm good in sports, I can play music and I think I'm quite good in my studies too.."
"I....(shit i'm stuck!)...have a very nice smile..."
"So vote for me!"
Experiment prove. I'm not a machine gun. I can't shoot my bullets like there's no tomorrow. I can't talk like a magpie.
But who cares la..Because according to the main sponsor of this event, Nivea:
Beauty is a smile. Not a talk.

This blog is about my attempt to Make a Difference while attending the Clinton School of Public Service to learn more about how to serve the community. This blog, and actually the whole experience, is dedicated to the students of the International School of the Americas who participated in what is referred to as the 'Make a Difference' project during their freshman year of high school. It seems only fair that I should try to do what I asked you to do. :-)

A Quest Begins
Yesterday marked the start of what the Clinton School calls the IPSP, the International Public Service Project. It is exactly what you would expect from the title: each student travels to a country that is not their home country and completes a service project. We first research organizations we might like to be of service towards, establish a relationship with that organization, determine a need that we can fill in the organization and design a project which helps the organization become more sustainable. That last part is particularly important. We are expected to do more than volunteer for the organization. Our project should in some way make a lasting contribution to the organization once we are gone. The common example given is that instead of teaching at a school in a developing part of the world, we might also develop curriculum to be left at the school or create a financial plan for the school that helps it have a long-term plan for remaining open.
Prior to speaking to any of the students or staff about the IPSP I thought I might like to work with Heifer International because of my past experiences traveling to Heifer Ranch with students from the International School of the Americas. I'm not completely dissuaded from that idea, but I am actively looking for other options right now. Heifer is a large, successful organization with a strong vision, a solid infrastructure and many volunteers. In other words, it is very likely that any short-term project I might do with them would not have a large impact. There is a strong possibility that I would have no direct contact with the people I was ultimately trying to benefit: the hungry in developing parts of the world. I would probably learn a great deal about what is like to be a part of a large, philanthropic organization though, which could be useful in the long run.
I'm more interested in grassroots organizations (also known as indigenous philanthropic organizations). As I begin my search for an organization, I'm looking for a small organization that I could have a large impact on in a short time. I shared my interest in conflict mediation with my advisor and he pointed me towards Plowshares. I share that link with you having looked only at the homepage of the website. I don't know much about it yet. If you happen to explore the site and be reminded of a similar organization, please share it with me. Exploring lots of options is the name of the early stage of this game.
Random Side Note: Picture Day!
Yep, even graduate school has picture day. Above is one of my school pictures for this school year. :-) I wonder if we'll get a yearbook too...
