Sofia meeting
(16-19 May 2017)
Field trip to Belene 18-19 May 2017
General information
The venue place of the OPERA's Consortium meeting in Sofia is at Best Western Hotel Expo , which is located outside of the city center. То reach it you can use the metro from Terminal 2 or a taxi (location). If you want to visit the center of the town, you can easily do it by catching the metro to Serdika metro station.
Sofia is a joyful town and one of the cheapest to live and party capitals in the European Union. Please refer to the map below for some recommendation of restaurants, pubs and hotels.
Currency in Bulgaria
The official currency is the Bulgarian lev (BGN). Euros are very rarely accepted. There are plenty of ATM around the city from where you can withdraw cash. If you want to exchange money it is better to do this in a bank rather then a random change bureau. Use your common sense and do not exchange money at the airport.
There are various ways to move around the city – buses, trolleybuses, trams and underground (subway). Tickets costs 1.6 lev (roughly 0.8 euro cents). The fastest way is using the underground. There is a metro station at terminal 2 of Sofia Airport. Taxis are also cheap charging about 0.77 levs (40 euro cents) per km, making a journey from the airport to Sofia's center about 12 levs (6 euro). As everywhere there are some rip off taxis in the center and around Sofia Airport. At Terminal 2 at Sofia Airport better book you taxi ride from the boot of OK Supertrans.
Sofia is a generally safe to travel and walk about city. However pickpocketing can occure in the center or around the Central Train Station.
There are myriad of hotels in Sofia, but as last year Ryan Air started a lot of new flights to numerous European destinations the hotels are getting quickly booked. May is one of the busiest period. Book as soon as possible. A savvy way to book is using booking.com. Here are some hotels we do recommend and are marked on the map provided above.
This is the hotel where the meeting will take place. It is outside of the center. You can obtain a special price of 60 euro per night in a single room on BB with free access to sauna and fitness. You can book a shuttle to the hotel for more confort.
One of the highly rated 3-star hotels in the absolute center of Sofia. It is close to a lot of pubs, restaurants and most the tourist attractions. The hotel may be fully booked soon. It is very close to Serdica metro station as well.
Located close to the main pedestrian street Vitosha hotel Nicky provides good price/comfort ratio. The easiest way to get to it from Sofia Airport is by taxi.
It is also close to Vitosha Boulevard and with a central location. It is the cheapest options from all the nearby 3-star hotels.
Meets the requirements of Best Western. Centrally located and usually a bit more expensive than the other hotels.
Best Western Thracia Hotel ****
Definatelly one of the greatest 4-star hotels in Sofia in terms of comfort, service and location.
NOTA BENE: Avoid hotels which are close to the Central Train Station and Lions Bridge, as there are a lot of prostitutes and criminal elements in this area after 9 pm.
If you one to mix up with the locals then try Divaka, which is centrally located and not touristy. If you want to eat in a more traditional setting, you are welcome to eat at Hadjidraganovite izbi, but note that it is a place for tourists rather then locals. A nice place for dinner with delicous food made of organic produce is Lubimoto. There you can meet locals and tourists as well.
If you are like to have a chat with friends in the evening over a beer then Hablite or Ale House are a great places to do so. Both bars offer variety of bears and serve food as well.
If you have some free time in Sofia center definatly make use of Sofia Free Tour. It is fun, educational and free. http://www.freesofiatour.com/
A interesting and healty way to explore the city and some of its parks is Sofia Green Bike Tour http://www.sofiagreentour.com/
Sofia city center is compact and can be explored in full in half a day. If you want to venture further in the countryside book a day tour with Traventuria at www.sofiadaytours.com

Tomorrow, I will not wake up and find that my mind has let me go. When I open my eyes the morning after that, I still will not see the sense in it all. And as the weeks go by, whether I spend my days wallowing or sleeping or drawing or writing, I will not find my way out of these thoughts.
Unwarranted sorrow and despair will continue to greedily fill the space in my head. Thick, concrete, windowless walls of feelings pressing against me will close in. An all-consuming kind of grief will soon prevail in blocking me in and shutting everyone else out. Before you know it, the baseless sadness will have flattened me.
Walled off in my own special prison, I will lie there mutely staring at the blankness. I still might momentarily fantasize about pushing back or breaking away. Perhaps, I will imagine banging my skull against the cold hardness surrounding me. But it will be too late. My bones might have had the strength to withstand blows on concrete, but the distance between my head and those walls will no longer be great enough for me to have any impact.
Outside my head, people will tell me to try to remember "before" or they'll say to search for a glimmer of hope. I will obediently listen and look for any sign of alteration in the tiny sliver of my mind that remains accessible. When I hear the dead silence and see the opaque blackness, though, I won't feel discouraged. I will welcome that promising quietness with all its power to soothe and absorb me in the end.

Every now and then, I will talk about study tools that will help you read your Bible for all it is worth! Today's tool is . . .
"The purpose of observation is to
saturate yourself thoroughly
with the content of a passage.
Like a sponge you should absorb
everything that is before you."
Orletta Wald
Observation is the KEY to good interpretation and application of Scripture, but it is often the most neglected part of study. It is the act of seeing: taking notice of things as they really are. Accurate observations are the result of reading with diligence, purposefulness, thoughtfulness, and inquiry. Reading until the word jogs the mind and heart requires quality time. Setting that quality time aside in your schedule is worth it! Reading and rereading a passage is a great way to see things more clearly.
Observation Steps as you read and reread:
1) PRAY meditatively verse-by-verse -- listening to the Lord and asking for His insight throughout the observations. Ask God to "Establish His word to His servant (you) as that which produces reverence for Him" (Psalm 119:38). As you read and pray, it is helpful to journal too.
2) Look for KEY WORDS and PHRASES - What words or phrases cannot be removed from the text without leaving it devoid of meaning? These words or phrases are often repeated and will jump out at you. They will be obvious. It is helpful to make a list of key words in your journal or mark these words in your Bible with different colors or symbols.
In Exodus 29, key words and phrases were:
- Consecrate
- Blood
- Soothing aroma
- That I might dwell
- They shall know the I am the LORD their God (this last phrase is repeated throughout Old Testament)
3) Ask "W" Questions of the text - Pretend you are a reporter "interviewing" the text by asking who, what, when, where, why, and how (the W is at the end in this one!) questions.
As I meditated on Exodus 29 this morning, I journaled this list of questions:
- What does consecration really mean?
- Why did the flesh of the bull go outside of the camp? What was the significance of this?
- What is a sin offering, wave offering, heave offering, peace offering?
- How was it a "soothing aroma"?
- Why is the flesh of the ram boiled and eaten and other parts not?
- Where is the doorway of the tent of meeting?
- What does "It shall be consecrated by my glory" mean?
Next, I will go and try to find the answer to these questions in the interpretation step of my study, but we will wait until next week to talk about that step!
Here is a downloadable document I created with all the tools.
This chapter includes God's instructions to Moses so that he could install the priests for service. Aaron was to be given the high-priestly garment described in the previous chapter and oil was to be anointed on his head, this would set him apart by God for special service. Sacrifices were to be made after this for all the priests. The hands were laid on the animals' heads (29:10, 15, 19) signifying identification. They identified with the animals that died in their places. They were acknowledging their own sinfulness and need for blood cleansing (Hebrews 9:22).
The flesh of the bull was burned outside the camp (Hebrews 13:11-13). We will talk more about all the different kinds of offerings when we get to Leviticus.
The ram's blood was to be placed on the right ears, right thumbs, and right big toe of the foot of the priests. This signified that they were cleansed and dedicated to God. The "why" behind the placement of the blood is varied. Some commentators believe that "Blood on the ear may have symbolized dedication to the hearing of God's Word, blood on the thumb may have pictured holiness in doing God's work, and blood on the toe may have spoken of walking carefully in the service of God" (The Bible Knowledge Commentary by Walvoord and Zuck, p. 153).
The Scarlet Thread of Redemption
These daily offerings were to be "a soothing aroma, an offering by fire to the LORD" (29:18, 25, and 41). Christ "gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma" (Ephesians 5:2).
The tabernacle represented God come to dwell among men and women, the beacon of God's presence among His people. In addition, the priest's role was to act as a go-between, a bridge-builder, someone who could stand on behalf of sinful mankind before a holy God.
In the New Testament there is a beautiful blending of these two themes. Where does God dwell today? He continues to dwell among people. How has He seen fit to do this? By indwelling those who have turned their lives over to Him (1 Corinthians 6:19). And whom has He called to be priests today, bringing sinful people back to their holy God? The very ones He indwells (1 Peter 2:9). You are both the tabernacle God indwells and the priest God empowers to call men and women back to Himself.
If God were to give you the privilege of building a "gospel bridge" into someone's life today, would you be willing?
(The Daily Walk: January 2008, p. 33)APPLICATION
We are a fragrance of Christ to God
among those who are being saved and
among those who are perishing.
(2 Corinthians 2:15)
Are you willing to be that fragrance to those around you today? Pray for opportunities to "smell" for Jesus today!
Lord, prepare me to be a sanctuary
Pure and holy, tried and true
With thanksgiving, I'll be a living
Sanctuary for You
It is you, Lord
Who came to save
The heart and soul
Of every man
It is you Lord
who knows my weakness
Who gives me strength,
With thine own hand.
Lord prepare me to be a sanctuary
Pure and Holy, tried and true
With thanksgiving I'll be a living
Sanctuary for you
Lead Me on Lord
From temptation
Purify me
From within
Fill my heart with
Your Holy Spirit
Take away all my sin
Lord prepare me to be a sanctuary
Pure and holy, tried and true
With thanksgiving, I'll be a living
Sanctuary for You
(song by Jaci Valasquez)

Ultimate Sniper 2006 : An Advanced Training Manual for Military and Police Snipe
Paladin Press (2006) | ISBN B000FN2BSG | 580 Pages | PDF | 40.4 Mb
When John Plaster's The Ultimate Sniper was released in 1993, it was hailed as an instant classic in the sniping community, influencing an entire generation of military and police marksmen around the world. Now this revolutionary book has been completely updated and expanded for the 21st century! Through revised text, new photos, specialized illustrations, updated charts and additional information sidebars, The Ultimate Sniper once again thoroughly details the three great skill areas of sniping: marksmanship, fieldcraft and tactics. Just some of the material in this new edition includes: * Cutting-edge sniper rifles, scopes, ammunition and equipment, everything purpose-designed or adapted specifically for military and police sniping. * The latest tactics and techniques from the frontlines of the War on Terror, including the mountains, deserts and urban areas of the Middle East and Central Asia. * Analysis of evolving technologies, including lasers, night vision, FLIR and ballistics programs. * Detailed ballistics and trajectory data for sniper ammunition. * An all-new chapter on countersniping lessons learned in Iraq and Afghanistan * An up-to-date listing of U.S.-based sniper training programs. Find out why professional snipers, sharpshooters and long-range riflemen consider The Ultimate Sniper to be the bible of their craft. A veteran of the top-secret Special Forces covert operations unit MACV-SOG during the Vietnam War, Maj. John L. Plaster combined what he learned of stealth, stalking and camouflage with his postwar experiences as a competitive shooter and firearms instructor to write The Ultimate Sniper. Over 60 pages of the original manual have been replaced with updated, modern information. An additional 120 NEW PAGES have been added with the above information

Amazing People Alert
So yesterday- Was a day
I am not going into more details but I will leave it at that.
I went to my door after a long day to find my beautiful friend had sent me a care package filled with goodies for me and the girls! They were jumping up and down, twirling ribbons, hugging their bookmarks, and squealing with delight.
Me? I just sat and had a huge grin- in amazement at the LORD's timing once again in my life. I was in awe of His love brought into my heart by a tiny box filled with goodness.
Last night I listed to Lori Sabin's CD to one of the most amazing songs ever- and guess what my friend- the box sender? She is so amazing she even wrote it. Here it is. May it minister to you today- as it did to me yesterday and will for days to come. Let it go!
I Love you LAS- you are used of God and amazing!
SO how do you fit into all of this? What has the LORD challenged you to do to help someone this week? What have your felt impressed to do for someone else? It just might make the difference in their very core - like my box did yesterday! Each one touch one!

I am a horrible blogger. I write (well, supposedly) all day long, and seriously, by the time I get home, the last thing I want to do is write more, although I have to admit that blogging is much more relaxing than assembling news releases.
My lack of blogging does not indicate my level of productivity craft-wise though. I've been working on a few different quilts, been involved in two craft swaps on Craftster (ah Craftster, how I love thee) and done other little projects here and there.
I recently went away to quilt camp and got so much done! It was my most productive time away yet; I think having that extra day really made a difference. It's funny because I have tons of "free" time, but I think being home alone really feeds into my imaginary ADD (notice there is no mention of the hyperactivity portion). I am a multi-tasker to the supreme. Sewing, crafting, on the computer, watching TV, all in various combinations.
A while back my friend Amy tagged me to do a list of six random things about me. I hadn't forgotten, just been a lazy poster. So, without further ado, here they are:
1. I am a notorious collector. There are so many things that I gather and save, like a squirrel with nuts. There's the Snoopy collection, Muffy Vanderbears, Pez dispensers, stickers, etc. Oh, and that little hoard of fabric too.
2. I was originally inspired to go into journalism thanks to Sassy magazine. Other than an awesome internship, I haven't gone the magazine route, but I still have a special place in my heart for Sassy. Needless to say, I still have all my old Sassy magazines.
3. I love the Olympics! I am SO looking forward to the summer games. I like sports in general - yay for the Packers - and I'll watch some sports whenever they're on TV, like gymnastics, swimming, diving, etc., but there's something about the Olympics that just fascinates me. I'll spend hours watching sports I may never have watched before. I guess all that NBC marketing is doing its job!
4. I used to be scared of Mexican food. When I was younger and Chi Chi's restaurants were the norm, I would go with my sisters and I'd order a hamburger and fries. I'm embarrassed to admit that now - I love Mexican food! That is one thing I really miss about living in Texas.
5. I love movies that involve some sort of music and/or dancing. Love Fame, Camp, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Center Stage, Sound of Music and even High School Musical. I could watch those movies a dozen times and not tire of them. Of course this is kind of unusual, since I have no talent singing or dancing, especially these days!
6. I love to swim, but I am a horrible breather! If only I could get my coordination to kick in. Watching people that really can swim really kicks my jealous tendencies into gear.
Here are a few photos of some of my recent projects.
This is a quilt my mom and I are making for my nephew, who just graduated (OK, who am I kidding, he graduated last May). Anyway, my mom and I did the blocks and then I hand quilted the whole thing. All it needs now is the binding, and lucky for me, she's handling that part. :)
This is a cute Keroppi cross stitch I finished a while back. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it, but I've got patterns for other Hello Kitty characters too.

United States District Court, C.D. California
April 3, 2014
VIVIAN LEIGH CROWE, Plaintiff,v.CAROLYN W. COLVIN, ACTING COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.
CHARLES F. EICK, Magistrate Judge.
Plaintiff filed a Complaint on August 15, 2013, seeking review of the Commissioner's denial of social security disability benefits. The parties filed a consent to proceed before a United States Magistrate Judge on September 18, 2013.
Plaintiff filed a motion for summary judgment on February 21, 2014. Defendant filed a motion for summary judgment on March 20, 2014. The Court has taken both motions under submission without oral argument. See L.R. 7-15; "Order, " filed August 22, 2013.
Plaintiff asserted disability since November 4, 2005, based primarily on alleged fibromyalgia and alleged dermatomyositis (Administrative Record ("A.R.") 1-844). Fibromyalgia has been described as "a common, but elusive and mysterious, disease, " whose "symptoms are entirely subjective." Sarchet v. Chater , 78 F.3d 305, 306 (7th Cir. 1996). "Some people may have such a severe case of fibromyalgia as to be totally disabled from working... but most do not...." Id . Dermatomyositis is "a connective-tissue disease characterized by skin and muscle inflammation...." Skelcy v. UnitedHealth Group, Inc., 2012 WL 6087492, at *____ (D.N.J. Dec. 6, 2012), appeal dismissed, No. 13-1049 (3d Cir. April 4, 2013).
An Administrative Law Judge ("ALJ") examined the medical record, which contains conflicting evidence from numerous physicians (A.R. 17-844). On September 6, 2011, the ALJ heard testimony from Plaintiff, a medical expert, and a vocational expert (A.R. 35-61).[1] In a written decision dated September 30, 2011, the ALJ found Plaintiff retains the residual functional capacity to perform a limited range of light work (A.R. 17-27). This decision supplemented and incorporated by reference an earlier written decision issued by the same ALJ (A.R. 21; see A.R. 121-28).[2] In denying benefits, the ALJ found less than fully credible Plaintiff's subjective complaints regarding the alleged severity of her limitations (A.R. 21-22). The ALJ also discounted the opinions of three of Plaintiff's treating physicians (Drs. Freyne, Darnell and Radentz) to the extent that these physicians believed Plaintiff has greater limitations than the limitations the ALJ found to exist (A.R. 22-26). The Appeals Council denied review (A.R. 1-3).
Plaintiff contends:
(1) The ALJ materially erred in finding less than fully credible Plaintiff's subjective complaints regarding the alleged severity of her limitations; and
(2) The ALJ materially erred in discounting the opinions of Drs. Freyne, Darnell and Radentz.
Under 42 U.S.C. section 405(g), this Court reviews the Administration's decision to determine if: (1) the Administration's findings are supported by substantial evidence; and (2) the Administration used correct legal standards. See Carmickle v. Commissioner , 533 F.3d 1155, 1159 (9th Cir. 2008); Hoopai v. Astrue , 499 F.3d 1071, 1074 (9th Cir. 2007). Substantial evidence is "such relevant evidence as a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to support a conclusion." Richardson v. Perales , 402 U.S. 389, 401 (1971) (citation and quotations omitted); see also Widmark v. Barnhart , 454 F.3d 1063, 1067 (9th Cir. 2006).
This Court "may not affirm [the Administration's] decision simply by isolating a specific quantum of supporting evidence, but must also consider evidence that detracts from [the Administration's] conclusion." Ray v. Bowen , 813 F.2d 914, 915 (9th Cir. 1987) (citation and quotations omitted); see Lingenfelter v. Astrue , 504 F.3d 1028 (9th Cir. 2007) (same). However, the Court cannot disturb findings supported by substantial evidence, even though there may exist other evidence supporting Plaintiff's claim. See Torske v. ...

On this ninth day of Christmas my true love gave to me....(boy this is a long song).....A new pink bathrobe. I guess we both had the same idea that we needed new bathrobes. Our old ones were almost 10 years old. This thing is sooooooooo soft and warm. My cat jumped into my lap and stopped in her tracks as she felt the softness. You could see the envy in her eyes and she started to knead.
And on this ninth day of Christmas I gave my true love.....The Tim Tebow book "Through My Eyes". I also sent this to our oldest son Roger Jr. for Christmas as they are both Tebow fans. I thought it would be a good thing they could read and talk about together.
Have a great day quilting......or preparing for Santa to come this weekend.

What a difference a day makes. Today's workout was fantastic.
Squats: 145 x 5 x 3
Still having some discomfort in the shoulder area from the placement of the bar, but nothing too distracting. I'm really starting to get the hang of the movement especially the idea of not pausing at the bottom, which causes me to lose momentum and then I press more with my legs instead of my hips to get back up. (Note: I just realized after adding the photo that I only did 145 instead of 155 like I had planned!)
Bench: 170 x 5 x 3
I've been observing the trend to arch the back when benching and I've tried it a few times. It seems a bit foreign to me since I've been benching with a flat back for so long. Today I set up the safeties and then realized that I needed to arch my back a little in order for the bar to to hit my chest instead of the safeties.
Deadlift: 215 x 5 x 1 (NEW PR!)
This one is pretty funny. After warming up with 135 x 5, I loaded the bar with 2 25 plates, 2 10 plates and 2 5 plates. Thinking I was about to do 210, I added the bracers and then realized that I had calculated wrong. But I decided it was time for a challenge and since it was my last set of the day I kept the weight on and pushed through 215. This is my all time best for deadlift. And now I'm only 1 or 2 workouts away from double 45s!
Weight: 206!
The effect of my indulgences over the weekend seem to have dissipated and the scale is behaving again. I did a bit of reading and now I understand that the rapid weight gain or loss due to water weight is usually linked to sodium intake. Even with calories and macros in check, a high carb heavily salted meal will increase water retention. So the bottom line is to:
- Stay consistent with the eating plan and limit indulgences as much as possible
- Weigh yourself regularly and take the average combined with measurements to gauge progress
And just in case all of this wasn't enough to celebrate, today is CARB DAY!

Muslim band-An-Nasr Productions June 8, 2008Posted by techis in Music.
Tags: ANP
An-Nasr Productions was formed in 1415 A.H. (1994) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA. Two Muslim brothers who saw the need for the message of Islam to spread to the general population via unique means and tools formed the group. The tool An-Nasr Productions choose after careful study and contemplation was the medium of Hip-Hop. The group witn- essed the effect that Hip-Hop had on the youth and the great effect this medium had on communities in general. An-Nasr Productions went into the legality of Music in Islam and found two major views, one of Haraam (prohibited) and one of Mubah (permissible). Each view had its details and each view needed to be examined thoroughly. The founders of An-Nasr Productions came to the conclusion that the strongest view is that music is Mubah
(permissible). However, such music containing sinful and un-Islamic content is Haraam (forbidden). An-Nasr Productions set out to use this medium as a "bait" to spark the common people's interest in the deen of Islam. The topics discussedin the songs would raise many questions and indeed trigger the interests of the younger generations. Although the first project done by An-Nasr Productions was directed towards Non-Muslims, the group soon began to find the need to direct their efforts towards The Muslim Ummah. The basic understanding of Islam seemed to be lost and the Muslims seemed to be mesmerized by The West. Muslims seemed to have forgotten the reason why they are Muslims. The worship and obedience to Allah, Ta'ala, seemed to be restricted solely to prayers, fasting, etc. Although, this problem was not a new one, An-Nasr Productions saw addressing the Muslims as a priority. Not neglecting their duty of Da'wah to Non-Muslims, the group embarked on a mission to free the Muslims mind from the bondage of the colonialist's slave mentality. An-Nasr Productions disassociates itself completely from what's called "Hip-Hop culture". The only culture to be represented by Muslims is the Islamic culture. It is important to note here the difference between culture and science, technology, and objects of a civilization. For example, it is completely permissible to use the technology and knowledge used to build a modern building used in the West. However, it is not allowed for the Muslims to use the statues and religious pictures used to decorate the buildings. Statues and religious pictures are a product of the culture of a particular nation, whereas, the building structure, such as, the foundation or roofing is as a result of science and technology. Science and technology are universal and culture is limited to specific peoples and nations. Muslims represent Islamic culture wherever they live and under all circumstances. Muslims are allowed to use any medium that is allowed by the Shari'ah. We are
not allowed, however, to imitate the Kuffar in their ideas, beliefs, etc. It is from this standpoint that An-Nasr Productions presents Islam to the masses. We will not do parties! We will not have dancers! We will not jump around and act ignorant! We will only call for the dominance and glory of Islam without the Kuffr cultural baggage!!! There is no support without the support of Allah, Ta'ala, and there is
no happiness without the pleasure of Allah, Ta'ala. Verily, any effort in contradiction to Allah Ta'ala's, law is fruitless! And any effort with the
support of Allah, Ta'ala, will be victorious.

In the Article titled Conspiring Words I talked about how the media which Lynna Lai is a part of frequently uses the word conspiracy and I stated when they do this it loses its affect. It not only loses its affect it makes people come to the unconscious conclusion that nothing is conspired especially when it comes to the Gov or the Media. Therefore Lynna Lai can do no wrong or say no wrong. She could not have had me ostracized if there's no weight in conspiracy theories.
In the beginning of lynnaluvers.com I always mentioned that Lynna Lai could do no wrong . Maybe the reason I got Ostracized is because I just mentioned Lynna Lai and not the entire media company. This isn't an excuse but Ive always believed there was one single Hero or Heroine in the world. Teams win games but individuals are voted for. Therefore there is no way I could have said Lynna Lai AND 19 are flawless during the days of lynnaluvers.com. If this was the real reason that the tv media keeps using the word conspiracy than I was right when I said or suggested in lynnaluvers.com that she is elite.
Thats the issue Ive always said this and I'll continue to say it that her comrades have a issue with my beliefs. Maybe they had an issue with the fact that I said she was elite in Ohio or maybe it's because I said she was a world star elite and lived opposite of their living quarters as to say they lived better than me. Why would they care if I lived humbly? Is it the fact that they had rental property close to me? Was Lynna Lai going to buy rental property close to me and couldn't since I lived there? If they had rental property there I wonder for how long because if they had rental property for a very long time in my area why didn't they have cameras out during the drug busts? Why didn't they persuade the local P.D. to do something like the possibility of them influencing the local P.D. out west. Maybe the local P.D. in Ohio told them they couldn't do anything before they get rid of me. What if Lynna Lai and Duffy has ties in the drug syndicate in my Old neighborhood and wanted me out of the way since all I was doing was writing about Lynna Lai?

One of the few firmly held beliefs that I possess, is that life is at its core a zero sum game. My victories, rare as snow in Algeria, are your defeats, and your victories are my defeats. I've even managed to expand the idea a little bit and work out a points system for adding up the sums. A plus/minus 1 is a small victory something like me getting the last black and white cookie at the bakery while you are the one behind me in line wanting the same cookie. A plus/minus 2 is akin to a 10 point win in American football, something like 17-7, sort of close but clearly one team was just better that day. A plus 3 is a blow out something like me getting my ass fired so that the company can give you a raise, plus 3's sting quite a bit. A plus/minus 4 is a rout, meaning the loser was never really in the contest to begin with. Something like two people trying for same job, and the person doing the hiring is one of the applicants cousin. Not even going to be close. A plus/minus 5 (and on my scale the highest number) is an ass handing. Something close to a German panzer and a Polish lancer squaring off against each other. We all know (even the Pole) how this is going to end, badly for someone.
In this zero sum game that we call life, your score is constantly changing. Almost anything you do has some sort of consequences (intended or not). A simple act like buying a new pair of shoes may affect any number of people in any manner of ways. Ways you did not, could not foresee. And somewhere out there in the world, someone you may not even know, or have never met is right at this very moment taking some vague action that could possibly affect you in some massive (for good or bad) way. Maybe right now the parents of the person you will eventually marry are having the sex that will bring your eventual spouse into the world in around 9 months. Maybe the guy who will find you at that ATM at 4 p.m. on a random Tuesday, get panicky and shoot you dead, is just now stealing his first car on what will become his own personal 5 year crime wave that will end with a police officer drawing a chalk outline around your corpse.
The trouble with all of these sums is that constant change. You probably don't know to any sort of decent amount of exactitude your score. You might not even realize that it is in the minus zone. You may be singing show tunes to yourself right at this very moment drunk on the idea that you are well into the positive zone, and really not even be close to your actual score. This isn't like your credit score or your blood pressure. This number really counts, not just to you but to everyone else on this rock at the same time. It's not something that you have to share, in fact, if you are able to ascertain the number, you probably shouldn't share it with anyone. After all, it is quite likely that the people you would share the number with are the very same people you are taking the pluses or the minuses from.
For most of your life, your number will probably be X, that lovely letter than stands for the unknown, the not quite figured out value that remains a mystery to us all. A goal that is just ever so slightly out of reach, the brass ring that we are all trying to grasp. The top of the greasy pole that. like Disraeli, we are attempting to climb. X does not really mark the spot. That spot is something that shifts second to second, while you are counting hours in your day. Something like X requires a lot of attention, like an extremely high maintenance girlfriend. Attention that you probably can't afford to pay, because you have a lot of other shit to do, like laundry, grocery shopping, drinking yourself into a stupor, or just merely going to the john a certain number of times a day. The mundane, everyday shit that we all have to deal with, gets in the way of us calculating X, and some of that boring shit even may wildly affect X.
Perhaps not knowing the numeric value of X is important. If we were to be suddenly struck with a bolt of genius, and figure out what our X score was it might be more than we could bear. What if it was something like minus 75? Then what would we do? Would we look around at our life, take stock, and a really deep breath and think 'seems about right to me.'? Or, would we be so horrified that we would immediately 'flip the script' and begin to behave in ways that we were certain would make our X less than minus 75, i.e. making sure we dicked someone, anyone over just to raise our score closer to the positive. Or what if we figure out it was plus 75? Would we suddenly realize what a complete douche canoe we had been being to people, and 'change our evil ways'? Or would we continue to pile the pressure on other people in the thought that if plus 75 is good, then plus 100 would be even better, and those poor unfortunate bastards that get in our way deserve the pounding we are giving them?
Maybe there is no real answer to any of those questions that appeals to us. Maybe we just have to keep plugging away at this game of Life, and hope for the best while expecting the worst. X may never be able to be reduced to a number while we are still in the game. Rapidly changing, and wildly divergent, X may be the philosopher's stone of our time. The thing that we realize would be lovely to figure out, but that if we were able to actually figure it out would take a lot of fun out of the game. Perhaps X is just made to be elusive, like a greased pig, or unresolved like the issues you had with your mother, or unknowable like the meaning of life. Perhaps the goal is to get X to equal 0, because 0 is still a number, and it might just be, in this context, the perfect number. The closest we can get to being a good person might be getting X as close to 0 as possible. One never knows about this things until, of course, it is too late, and by then one is past caring.

Salute to Music in Our Schools Month
Each March participating schools throughout the country showcase the talents of their music students. Through various concerts and educational activities, Music in Our Schools Month, or MIOSM, raises awareness and appreciation of music education programs.
Musical training has been a part of the curriculum of public and private schools in San Antonio from the 19th century to now. In observance of MIOSM, Special Collections presents some of the photographs from our collections that document the teaching of music in local schools. The earliest, from the 1880s, is a class portrait taken for the school and the parents. A descendant of one of the students loaned us his original to copy for our General Photograph Collection (MS 362). Another more recent group portrait of music students is from the Zintgraff Studio Photograph Collection (MS 355). The others, from the San Antonio Light Photograph Collection (MS 359), were taken for newspaper articles relating to music education in San Antonio schools.

It was a dull, grey day in London but it turned into a fine evening so Traybake and I went for a little walk. We had both had rather trying days at work so needed to do a bit of offloading. On balance I think TB's day was worse than mine involving a deal of machinations. Mine was just the usual irritating boss and colleagues kind of day.
I was annoyed because I received a very terse email from my boss with a red flag next to it chasing me about something. TB, not very helpfully, pointed out that the reason why I found the email annoying was because of the illocutionary force behind the message. After having it explained to me about ten times I now know what illocutionary force means. I told TB that getting an email like this makes me feel like immediately handing in my notice and I suggested that I might actually tell my boss this. TB advised against this on the basis that it would make me seem unbalanced.
I then went on to explain how someone else had annoyed me by sending me an email with the words, Gentle Reminder, in the subject line. Receiving such a missive makes me want to go and find the person who sent it and pour a cup of coffee over them. TB then took it upon himself to tell me that I was being a tad unreasonable.
I have no idea what he was talking about.
(I am still very annoyed as I just heard on the news that the cost of giving people in the public sector a 1% pay increase is around 1.5 billion which co-incidentally is exactly the same sum Theresa May paid the DUP for their votes!)

Last week we went to Target and Ellie stumbled upon a pair of GLORIOUS cinderella-like glass(plastic) slippers. Can you dream up anything less comfortable for a 2 year old to walk around in? I cannot.
She put them on immediately, and there was no turning back. I don't know if I could have ever been back in her good graces if I had not bought them for her. She wore them around the store with great pride, and when it was time to check out, she reluctantly held up one shoe for the checker to scan- and then took it back and put it back on.
We bought them in the morning. She wore them all day. By night time, she was hobbling along, clearly in extreme discomfort. I'd ask her if her shoes hurt and she refused, "No, it's all better now." When it was time to go to bed, there was no removing them from her feet. She insisted on sleeping with them. I obliged.
About 3am our princess came into our room crying. She had lost one glass slipper during her slumber and was quite distraught. Charles retrieved it and she slept the rest of the night in our bed, with the glass slippers carefully placed on her feet. She wore them the whole next day, until her sore feet began to bleed, and we convinced her to take a break.
Sunday I was able to convince her that fancy socks were a good pairing with the shoes, and her little feet are healing.
Ellie takes roll playing pretty seriously. It is sometimes difficult to keep up with her imagination, and who she is pretending to be. She is always quick to correct us when we call her Ellie and she is pretending to be someone else, most commonly, Snow White, Sofia, or Cinda-lella.
Monday night, Charles was giving the girls blessings before they start the school year. When he started by saying Ellie's name, she quickly corrected him, "No, I not Ellie, I LUCY." She had us all dying laughing after doing this 3 times before she agreed to be Ellie for the purpose of her blessing.

Some of the first phrases/words the boys learned were 'please', 'thank you', and 'bless you'. Of course, they sound more like 'pleebs', 'tank you' and 'ess you', but they are very good about remembering and saying them. Even Gus has noticed that if someone sneezes, the boys will say "bless you" and keep repeating it until the person says thank you.
Since we've arrived home, we've started working on "May I be excused?" and "I'm sorry". 'May I be excused' is pretty long so we've let them shorten it to 'excuse me?' when they are done eating. The other day Sam did say "May I excuse me?" after he heard Gus ask to be excused so I think we are pretty close to getting them to say the whole thing.
Our newest phrase is "I'm sorry" which actually sounds like "I soggy". Yesterday, Drew hit Sam in the back and I told him he needed to say "I'm sorry" and hug, but he just crossed his arms and refused. So Drew had to sit by himself and be quiet until he would say it. Aaron came home in the mean time and I let him take over so I could finish supper. At one point, we saw Sam walk up to Drew and say something in Hungarian then 'I soggy' and hold up his hands - it's like he was saying "all you have to do is say 'I'm sorry' and then we can play". A minute or 2 passed when I heard Aaron talking to Drew and Drew told Sam he was sorry. Sam came running up to me and said "Mom, Mom, Du (something in Hungarian) I soggy!" It was the funniest thing and I think Sam was very proud of Drew for finally saying it.

I think the last 3 days can be described, as my husband says, as a spiritual flu. It seems you are in a fog, you are slugging through a slough that is so thick sometimes you cannot move. Every thought and action is slow, nothing seems to be purposeful. Everything outside you is in ciaos - your house is a pig sty, your kids just tracked in gallons of mud, they are fighting constantly, your husband is busy and can't answer your phone calls, you vent all your frustrations at your hubby when he finally calls, you yell at your kids, the neighbors are fighting, everything seems hopeless, etc. etc.
Ever have a day like that??
Here comes the light... "O LORD, you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O LORD, you know it altogether. You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me." (Psalm 139:1-5)
Guess what? God is still in that flu!
So my response (after repentance) is as David said, "Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it."
Then the light returns and I can see and feel clearly. God is awesome and marvelous - too much for me to understand! But I am so glad he loves me and allows me to share in this goodness.

This little outfit I got Sammy last week. I just love this color peach; particular on this little baby girl. It goes with her coloring so well. But? When I bought it, I was 'just' ok with the polka dots. Most women can not pull off polka dots. What really gets to me now that she has it on, is the neck ruffle. *shudder* and not in any fashion sense whatsoever. Neck ruffles remind you of what?
CLOWNS! That's what.
And not this clown either:
Although, anyone who paints their face like this has some serious mental issues if you ask me. For some reason, my family does not like clowns AT ALL. Never have. Absolutely never will. So when this particular movie was made, it scared the holy cat shit out of me. (this should read, " OUT OF US!")
Notice the neck ruffles?

Happy Hanukkah (with Nanoblock Menorahs)
1 comment:
Give me Modulex and I'll make menorahs! (And in my defense, the Nanoblock was a gift. I did not divert cash that would ordinarily go to LEGO . . . ) You are very kind to overlook my transgression. Truth is, I wanted to be the first on Google to combine the words "Nanoblock Menorah." And I was.ReplyDelete

sure, it's almost like none at all, except that it still gives the benefit of taking the looseness out of that area of the tarp, which is the point of doing it.

I'm in the same boat as you, Alter. After taking Brian's info in to account, I think I've decided to go with a Hex shape. It's obviously easy to make. Might want to consider that?
"The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits." - Albert Einstein
the hex is a really good shape with regards to a coverage to weight ratio. a good choice for a summer or 3 season tarp
If you put more catenary in the ridgeline, you take up any looseness that may have been along the ridgeline and begin tightening the center area of the tarp. At that point the drop in headroom and flatness of the center area become noticable. When I have used a catenary ridgeline it has been to take up looseness and tighten the center area as well to get a more taut pitch. When you do that you will affect the headroom and flatness.

Get some Omni Tape from the Jacks and you can make removable doors. This is probably what I'll do with my MacCat Deluxe. Thinking of adding some hald caps for the ends to help with horizontal rain during the Spring and Fall.
Not the guy to ask for Directions.
Omni tape is a hook and loop, sew on product right? Does it have sufficient hold to fasten doors in high winds? I see that the Jacks use it on their quilt products. What kind of weight are we talking on something like this? If the tarp plus the loop side of the tape is significantly less weight than the tarp and sewn on doors this would be a great option.
Since I made a tarp with doors I would suggest Velcro over Omni Tape. The velcro has a much stronger hold in my opinion and my doors have held up swell in the wind. I have them sewn to the tarp and use velcro for closing. Weight is minimal for the luxury....

April 26, 2012
Last week it was revealed that the dynamic duo, Governor Fitial and Froilan Tenorio had proposed leasing a northern island to be used as a dump site. Tenorio appeared on KSPN to promote the scheme in his typical defensive and annoyed tone. Why wouldn't anyone want to lease an island to "get money"? Any proposal for money sounds good to this political pair; anything except proposals that would ensure lasting revenue like say an income, property or sales tax.
Today it was reported that Kansai Oil Company president Shoichi Higashinaka, Oku Shigeharu and Yusuke Nakano from the Tokyo Broadcasting System flew to Pagan to check out the island. Lt. Governor Inos was quoted as saying, "This will create a new industry for the CNMI." Dumping trash on islands is a new industry? Isn't this a proposal that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency would need to approve? What do the CNMI people think of this idea?
A Saipan Tribune article states that the Japanese may be as interested in mining prozzolan as they are in using the island as a dump:
Isamu Tokuichi, executive director of Asia Mining Development PTE Ltd., and Yukio Oita, chief executive officer and representative director of Kankyo Kaizen Kiko Co. Ltd, led a six-member investor team in meeting with Fitial, Inos, and Tenorio on Capital Hill.So bring trash and take away prozzolan.
Tenorio, after the meeting, said Tokuichi and the rest of the group are firm in buying tons of pozzolan and sell them in Japan.
Tokuichi's Asia Mining Development is willing to invest some $20 million in equipment alone to mine pozzolan on Pagan.
But to offset hefty costs of shipping tons of pozzolan, these Japanese investors are willing to bring tons of tsunami debris from different tsunami-ravaged Japanese prefectures-for a fee-on their way to Pagan.
Administration Reducing Food $tamp Benefits
The Fitial Administration, which recently tried to illegally prohibit U.S. citizen children of foreign parents from collecting food stamp benefits, now announces a reduction in benefits. From the Office of the Governor:
The CNMI Nutrition Assistance Program/Food Stamp Office says that effective May 1, benefits levels will be reduced by 13.6 percent.CNMI Could Lose Million$ in Medicaid Funding
This reduction in benefits is implemented in order to accommodate increases in the number of applicants seeking the services of the CNMI Nutrition Assistance Program.
This reduction will remain in effect until the end of the fiscal year, Sept. 30, 2012.
Should recipients have any further questions, call 664-2571.
The Republican members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee voted to slash $100 million from the CNMI Medicaid Program. Not only did these members vote in favor of enormous cuts, but they voted to increase the CNMI's contribution by 11 percent.
The 30 to 22 vote was along party lines and would put the poor and children in the crossfires taking $113B out of health insurance and public health programs across the country. How's that Republican alignment working out Governor Fitial?
Commonwealth Health Center May Lose Federal Grant$
At a February meeting in San Francisco CHC administrators were reportedly told by Region IX Medicaid managers that if the hospital did not come into compliance quickly, the hospital would lose funding.
Administrators claim that a partnership with Idaho-based ICS is the solution to the problems. That is doubtful. The CHC is certain to fail. The legislature and governor made sure of that by allocating a mere $5 million to run the institution knowing full well a budget of 5 to 6 times that amount is required annually for it to stay afloat. Even with an $11.58 million loan from the MPLT, it is unlikely that the CHC can recover any time soon.
Reque$t to Redirect CIP Funds
Governor Fitial asked the U.S. Department of Interior Department of Insular Affairs to redirect $4.35 in Capitol Improvement Funds to operating funds for the PSS and CHC. When told that CIP funds are not for operating expenses, Fitial changed his request to $3.5 for CUC.

I want to have BOTH. SO, has anyone tried using a fretted neck from one of the SR5 clones out there - such as the OLP or Vintage. IF so are the necks compatable and can this ben done easily?

Contraception: Why Not?
I personally am anti-contraception of any form, and I think Dr. Smith makes a very clear, Biblical argument against the use of contraceptives. I am fully aware that this will probably offend many of my readers, but that's okay. Just read the article. If you won't read all of it, at least read the second half of it. If you still disagree, so be it. Whatever you do, do it in faith.
Here are some points that Dr. Smith makes:
-In the 60's, the expectation was that contraceptives would make for better marriages, fewer unwanted pregnancies, and fewer abortions. None of these assumptions were correct, and she has stats on all of them.
-Statistics show that people who contracept in marriage generally have weaker marriages
-The rate of adultery has greatly increased since contraceptives came on the scene (if most every woman is contracepting, most every woman is available without consequence)
-From the article: "..When male and female participate in the sexual act, they have opened up the arena which God has designed for bringing forth new human life. And when they contracept, they are slamming that door in God's face. They're saying, 'We want to enjoy this pleasurable act that You gave us, but we do not want to let You perform Your creative act.' Now, I'm not saying that couples who are contracepting, are conscious that this is what they're doing. But, this is what the act itself means. It's much like drinking a little bit of poison in your orange juice. You might not know it's there, but it will have it's effect on you. You're not intentionally doing that, but that's what the act itself means."
-Contraceptives have negative physical effects on a woman's body, including increased irritability, depression, weight gain, and reduced libido. "Now, I don't know about the rest of you women, but I've been looking for a pill that will make me more irritable, more depressed, help me to gain weight, and reduce my libido so I can have sex."
And most importantly in my mind...
-THE PILL IS AN ABORTIFACIENT. Yes, it's true. Just read the insert that comes with your prescription. The pill's first line of defense is to prevent ovulation, but a woman's body can still have "breakthrough ovulation" without you even knowing it. If you do ovulate and the egg ends up getting fertilized (beginning of life), the pill will cause your uterus to reject the baby, thus aborting the child without you even knowing it.
So if you have a few extra minutes, please read the article. It's long, but it's worth it. In the end it also goes into the differences between Natural Family Planning and Contraceptives and why a Christian couple might opt for NFP.

I am a little confused. Are your motives for not using contraceptives because you don't want to use medical barriers to prevent children or because you don't want to try and alter the timing God has for your family?
- The Charlebois said...
We can time our family using the NFP method, and I think it is wise to do so. Timing is not the issue. The issue is blocking God's creative work with artificial methods, especially those that may abort my baby. God gave each woman a window of time during which He can bring forth new life. I say if you don't want to get pregnant, abstain during that window, don't set up medical barriers to stop it.
Okay, that I totally agree with. My husband and I also use NFP (for reasons very similar to yours). I just get very frustrated when people don't want to use the pill or condoms (or other artificial methods) because it's blocking God, but then say "we use NFP but use condoms when I'm fertile" to me, that is very contraditory.
And, I totally support your use of NFP - after talking to many of my married friends, I am amazed at how many eitehr chose to use NFP right from the start or switched to it early in the marriage. Religious and moral convictions aside, it's nice to see people going a natural route and not putting unneccessary drugs into their bodies.
- The Charlebois said...
To be honest, I hadn't even thought about the contradiction until listening to this CD, but I was struck with the truth of it.
Plus I think it's healthy for a marriage for the couple to abstain from time to time. One lady in the article called it a "honeymoon every month."
As a medical professional I am confused as to why you say " If you do ovulate and the egg ends up getting fertilized (beginning of life), the pill will cause your uterus to reject the baby, thus aborting the child without you even knowing it." If one does ovulate and its gets fertilized, the pill can't cause an abortion, the hormones do not work that way-you end up pregnant. That is why the pill is only 99% effective, several people get pregnant on the pill. The same goes for the "day after pill" though I am absolutely not in agreement with casual sex, I have to educate the clients that come in asking for it to, yes, "abort" their baby if they have one and I have to tell them that if they are pregnant that pill will do nothing to prevent a pregnancy. There are some pills that you can use that early on that do cause a hostile uterus which will shed that egg as you had described before but they are hard to find and not sold so commonly (because so many people don't want the ethically ramifications of that). I think NFP is great and I love the idea of less medicine! Maybe next time you go in with your daughter you can ask her MD to explain it to you.
- The Charlebois said...
I do know that Norplant, Depo-Provera, Progesterone only pills, the common low-dose contraceptive combination pills, and the IUD all work as abortifacients by preventing the implantation of the fertilized ovum.

Grotto Mountain
This is the first scramble in 2012, done on my birthday. Although I successfully summited this mountain, I should say, I was neither physically nor mentally ready for this ascent. Grotto Mountain was not on my winter to-do-list originally, until I was "fooled" by a local guy met in Grotto Canyon. He summited this mountain in December via direct route (Kane's Route), well, maybe he is a local mountaineer with tens of years of experience. The direct route involves several steep slab sections even below the treeline, as well as cliff bands, so I decided to give it an attempt via ACC route, a longer but safer route. The scramble section is merely a very steep hike, with several hands-on sections, but avoidable if staying on the ridge. However, the 1425m elevation gain makes it a demanding ascent, even in summer. Note this elevation gain is almost the same as Cascade Mountain's. In winter, it's still okay if the trail has already been made by others. But during my ascent, I couldn't see any trail after gaining about 200m elevation or so. I knew the official trail should be around me here or there, because I knew I was ascending the correct ridge. But due to the snow cover, it's a completely different story. I could see flags here and there, but they could only help me to ensure I was on the correct route. The rest of the ascent involves heavy trail breaking, bushwracking, as well as, knee-deep post-holing. Even before the bushwracking section, there are two trails that can ruin your day. The first one is the trail to the direct route, which is bigger and has a flag. I went off-route here, and wasted about 20 minutes. The second one is the Horseshoe Traverse, which continues horizontally all the way to Cougar Creek. In these days, it seems like most people are doing this trail, instead of Grotto Mountain. Too bad I went off-route again, and wasted about 1 hour here. When I was back to the correct ascent rib, it was almost 11 o'clock. As I mentioned before, there was no trail. The massive amount of trail breaking and bushwracking is extremely exhausting if you are alone. I really wished I had a partner to share. As approaching the treeline, the snow gets deeper and deeper. The post-holing was about knee-deep, for about 200m elevation gain. It could help if I brought the snowshoes up, but if so, I had to carry that thing all the way up and down, which is probably more demanding than a not-too-long post-holing section. Once above the treeline, I finally can relax a bit. Due to the lack of snow on upper section, the rest was just like a late season scramble (although still a looong way to the summit). I didn't stay on the ridge during ascending, instead I traversed around several false summits on west slope. The traversing involves several moderate sections. (On the way down, I stayed on the ridge all the way until the last false summit. This route is actually the easier one, as well as, more scenic.) I had to take my ice axe out for a snow slope crossing, because an involuntary glissade would make me slide down about a hundred meter. By the time I reached the summit, it was 2:20pm, which indicates I only had about 2 hours of daylight time. I checked the register, and the last ascent was done on Dec. 27th, so I'm the first people successfully ascended Grotto Mountain in 2012. I retraced my footprints for decending, and I couldn't believe I made the trail all the way to the treeline. Hopefully there will be people doing this mountain in the following several days, so they don't need to do the massive trail breaking thing. Even though I tried to run down, I was forced to watch sunset on the mountain again. But it wasn't too dark by the time I made back to parking lot.

Since most of my life is spent doing dishes, I might as well tie it in with something I enjoy! During these last few bitterly cold weeks, I placed two feeders in the tree just outside the window over my kitchen sink, a seed feeder and a suet cage. Then I set my camera up on the windowsill, and just . . . waited.
On sunny days, there is nonstop traffic at the feeders. In addition to the raucous blue jays, swarms of starlings, and flocks of grackles, there have been several delightful visitors. The Downy Woodpecker has been the rarest sighting so far.
The chicken is still hanging around. She loves cheerios.
The squirrels have been relentless in their attempts to empty the seed feeder. Sometimes I put out a pile of sunflower seeds, or mixed nuts (in shell), just to throw the pitiful losers a bone. I can't stand squirrels. Long story.
These are some of the best shots I've gotten so far. The picture should enlarge if you click on it.
Addendum: February 8, 2010
A GREAT day for backyard birdwatching! Three never-before-seen varieties made an appearance today: a female Downy Woodpecker, a Nuthatch, and an American Goldfinch! I thought the Goldfinches always migrated south for the winter! Anyway, I have no idea if this was a male or female, since their coloring is very similar in winter. The Nuthatch was a nice treat, as well. The picture in the center, without any notation, is of European Starlings who decided to maraud the feeders that day. And we've had several male house finches with their mating plumage.
The new pictures are a bit fuzzier than I'd like, but that's because my camera is on the missing list (Kids. Ruin. Everything.) and the one I used doesn't have the zoom capacity. Frownie face.

Catch Up again!!
We've also been asked to make a variety of different wedding favours, especially cookies! we had an order for 80 elephant & Horse vanilla and chocolate cookies for a wedding in may! a lot of detail, but very fun to make! We were also asked to make a non-edible cookie gift for a wedding present, which were again fun to make and were personalised with the brides & grooms initials.
Our next wedding was in the oxwich bay, in the gower in Swansea! absolutely stunning venue in the sun, the marquee was right next to the beach! the theme was black and white after the bride & grooms favourite football theme! The bride wanted black and white lemon and chocolate cupcakes with fruit top tier, and also welsh cake shaped as hearts as their favours! They turned out really well, and very effective.
We've alsso done a couple of ther wedding cakes, including a wonky three tier cake and vintage themed cupcakes. The wonky cake was a huge task! very nerve racking! i was scared that the tiers would slide off! they didnt, thank god, and had really positive feedback, everyone loved it!
Weve had a few more wedding enquiries this year, still have 7 to do before october! and they are all different so really looking to them all. We still have a few more spaces left for weddings this year! but next year is booking up too! so feel free to enquire about your bespoke wedding cake.
I promise to keep the blog up to date at least every two weeks to let you all know whats happening with Little Charm Bakery, as we are growing and growing since we started in September!

Every show likes to do something outrageous, special and sometimes spectacular for their 100th episode. How I Met Your Mother did all of them and more. The multi-camera sitcom that plays like a single-camera one showed off with its two strongest aspects, the mystery of The Mother with the "mythology" built up around her (student in that other class, the Yellow Umbrella) and Barney Stinson's two key aspects – his ability to be a womanizer and his human-like adoration of suits – and they flowed together with almost perfection.
Barney wanted to bang the girl behind the bar, and Robin proved that she's only incredibly hot purely because she's behind the bar. What made this woman a particular hardship for Barney was her hatred of suits. Barney not being in a suit with Hans without Chewy. They need one another, and Barney struggles to survive without his suit on. Barney has to make the decision, in the form of a fantastic musical song, adequately titled "Nothing Fits Me Like A Suit" that suits are indeed, a huge aspect of his life. Marshall, Ted, Lilly and even Robin try to tempt him otherwise, with a huge song climax, in which we presume Barney has picked the suits. He didn't, however. Getting laid is just that bit more important.
As for The Mother's storyline, Ted meets the immaculate Rachel Bilson playing Cindy, who we assume to actually be the mother. Until we learn she has a room-mate, and all the things Ted loves about her are actually her room-mates. With the help of his future-voice, we know she is not the mother, but Ted was literally so close to her to the actual mother it was unbearably awesome. We saw her God-damn heel…
As Slap Bet is as quintessential to the lore of How I Met Your Mother as ever, I'd actually put its 100th above that. 'Girls VS Suits' had a lot to live up to. The hype and the expectations were crazy high, and its a testament to how strong the comedy is in its fifth year that it's actually produced its best 20 minutes in a long time, practically ever.

2013 Goals
Looking back at my 2012 goals, I realized that I accomplished almost every. single. one. That makes me feel very well accomplished this year in more ways than one.
Most of this year has been awesome but some of it has been rough & shitty to say the least. Things happened beyond my control and I had to suck it up and deal with it. I think the hardest parts about this year were losing people close to me [not by death.] It's always so hard for me to say goodbye. Each time they leave, I regret not spending enough time with them before they go. I guess you could say I'm a little scared to get close to anyone because I've had to deal with this countless times.
I'm still dealing with the hurt of my mom & stepdad's divorce. I'm probably one of the most understanding kids any parent could have, and that's what makes it even harder for me. As much as I want to be mad or hold a grudge, I am too understanding on both sides. That's one thing about myself that I have a love/hate relationship with. I can honestly put myself in another person's shoes and have a sense of what they feel and what is going on through their head in certain situations. I think that's maybe why I never get into fights with people either. Even if I don't agree with what a person does, I usually had a good idea of what their motive is behind it or why they did what they did. Does that make me a weirdo? Yeah, probably.
Moving on to the good things.
I kicked life's ass this year by graduating college, getting a full time job as an ACSM certified personal trainer, ran 11 races, and found out I am not only mentally strong, but physically strong as well[thanks to my new found love of powerlifting].
I have never been so proud of myself….ever than I have this year.
I went the entire year with having less than 3 anxiety attacks[and didn't think once about taking medication].
I have almost gotten rid of my negative self talk that used to go through my head on a daily basis.
I have been happy on most days of the year.
I have 3 amazing best friends that I couldn't ask for anyone better.
So what's next for 2013? I really can't top most of those things. Life can always be improved though, right? Let's see…
1) I made a commitment to workout 280 hours this year. So basically a little over 60 min/day 5x a week.
2) Do an unassisted pull up. This was on my 2012 goals list…and I did an unassisted chin up so I'd say that's pretty achievable now.
3) Squat 1.5x my bodyweight. That is over 200 pounds. Right now I can squat 140# for 5 reps.
4) Maybe not do 11 races, but I'd still like to sign up for some this year.
5) Take my Siberian Husky, Akira, on walk or runs 2-3x/day for at least 20-30 minutes.
1) Drink more water.I kind of slacked towards the end of this year. I still probably drink more water than 90% of the population though. 😉
2) Eat more local & more whole foods.
3) Figure out what the heck I'm allergic to because I know it's something.
1) Not really school anymore, but continue to extend my knowledge in all aspects of my career.
1) Get my finances in line. Now that I do have a full time job, I have everything that comes with the responsibility of having one. Money is going to be tight for everyone this year and rumor is that milk is going up to $9/gallon by the end of 2013. Time to start saving any little bit I can.

In the year of Jubilee, land is returned to its original family, slaves are set free, debts are cancelled. Some have called this God's "economic recovery plan." The Law also permitted the re-purchase of land that was sold by the owner or by his relatives. However, redemption of houses inside walled cities had a "statute of limitation." The primary purpose of these laws is to ensure that property was kept in the family and to limit the expansion of urban areas into farmland.
Questions for Reflection:
- What social benefits would a community experience if these laws were practiced?
- What social ills might be prevented?
- There is no Biblical evidence that Jubilee ever occurred. Why do you think the Law was never enforced?
- Can you think of any current economic policy that reflects the spirit of Jubilee?
- In this election year, have you heard any economic proposals that reflect Jubilee? If so, what?

Collin College and The University of Texas at Dallas (UT Dallas) signed a brand new articulation agreement today that aligns five disciplines at both institutions. As part of a five-year $2.5 million National Science Foundation Dallas Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) Gateways Collaborative grant, the two higher education entities aligned first and second year courses in STEM fields. The new articulation agreement will include geoscience, chemistry, physics, biology and mathematics.
Professors and deans from both institutions, including UT Dallas Dean of Undergraduate Education Dr. Sheila Piñeres, Collin College's Deans of Academic Affairs Dr. Cameron Neal, Bill Blitt and Dr. Jon Hardesty, collaborated for two years detailing course syllabi, textbooks and instructional methodology. The new alignment enhances the Comet Connection general articulation agreement which allows Collin students to lock in UT Dallas tuition fees prior to taking classes at the university. As part of the NSF grant, the colleges previously partnered to align engineering and computer science coursework. The new, detailed course alignment offers students a smooth transition in STEM classes from Collin to UT Dallas.
The UT Dallas/Collin College articulation agreement was forged under the direction of Dr. Nathan Ivey, associate director of the NSF grant; Dr. John Sibert, UT Dallas associate professor of chemistry and principal investigator of the NSF grant and Dave Galley, co-principal investigator of the NSF grant and director of engineering at Collin College.
The $2.5 million NSF grant was awarded to UT Dallas, Collin College and Richland College to increase the graduation rates of students in STEM degrees. The grant also provides funding for undergraduate research, summer internships and student organizations in STEM fields.

Barre City Middle School
Thursday, May 18, 2017
Over time
Three years ago, through a collaborative effort with some great musicians from Connecticut, our own in house songwriter Mr. Mislak and the amazing work of our entire staff, we launched a movement at BC. STAND UP was introduced as our Middle School motto, and we have been so fortunate to continue to integrate this work into our daily lives here at BCEMS. STAND UP is embedded into our Habits of Learning Rubrics, our recognition system, our assemblies, and in our weekly acknowledgements. For awhile now, students have been nominating each other, along with teachers for STAND UP recognition.
Students are paying attention to the STAND UP
recognition board on display as you enter our school
Now, new for the end of this school year, teachers are also recognizing each other for all that they do each and every day to support and facilitate learning for our students. Stay tuned for the STAND UP teacher nominations as we move through these last few weeks of the year. In the meantime, please take a look at this video made by a member of the Video explore block. If you've seen it before, it is definitely worth another look.
