photos - elections - part 1
It was a very political week this week in Haiti. It was registration time for candidates and parties who wanted to participate in the upcoming presidential elections scheduled to be held on November 28th. The Force 2010 is a political group led by the Mayor of Delmas, Wilson Jeudi. Wilson Jeudi is hoping to be elected as president. This banner hangs over Delmas 31. You can see in the distance the large rubble pile which blocks access to the bridge that was wrecked in the earthquake.
The children came running to me excited to hear the noise of a "ra-ra" band. Presidential candidates were accompanied by groups of people when they deposited their registration forms at the electoral office. This ra-ra passed in front of our house.
There were around 200 people in this crowd.
The horn pictured was one of the instruments used by the band. It was a festive occasion!
Junior was looking to see who he knew in the crowd.

Two school custodians who said they were fired for trying to recruit members for a new labor organization for janitors, maids and other low-paid service workers were promised similar jobs with the city yesterday by Baltimore's Mayor Kurt L. Schmoke.
Virginia Johnson and Valerie Bell said they were fired by Broadway Services Inc., a city contractor, after they tried to get co-workers to join the Solidarity Sponsoring Committee, an association of service workers formed in May to improve pay, benefits and working conditions.
Mayor Schmoke said the charges will be investigated and, if they are true, he will follow through on a vow he made June 25 at Union Baptist Church that the city won't do business with any company that intimidates workers trying to organize.

Christopher Eccleston will no longer star in the ITV drama Safe House.
It is believed the former Doctor Who actor had already begun work on the second series, but will now no longer be part of the drama.
ITV sources had said the reason for this u-turn remains "confidential".
According to sources, new scripts are being written for a new lead cast. The show will also relocate from the Lake District to Wales.
Earlier this year, Eccleston was confirmed to star in the second series, alongside Marsha Thomason and Paterson Joseph. It is thought that all three will no longer appear on the show.
Safe House first came to our screens in April last year, where we saw Eccleston as an ex-policeman protecting a family from a serial killer at his guest house. The show averaged over 6 million viewers per episode throughout its 8 episode run.
Due to the huge changes, the delay in filming means the new series is not likely to reach our screens until next year.
ITV have not confirmed any reasons for the rewrite and re-casting. A spokeswoman for ITV told Digital Spy: "Due to circumstances which led to filming being delayed, the second series is now being filmed with new lead characters and features a new Safe House."
Digital Spy has reached out to Christopher Eccleston's reps for comment.

Food, Glorious Food!
Hawaii is in 29 days and I am nowhere near where I wanted to be weight-wise. But for some reason this really doesn't concern me this year! Yes, I would rather be instantly 10 pounds less but I am not sure if I would trade it for the wonderful food I have been eating! I thought that rather than condemn myself for my eating without abandon I would celebrate it by sharing some of my meals in this blog.
Let's go back to mid-September. I was in the middle of the end of Harvest so still eating my wonderful free pizzas and chili rellenos. The bf and I are huge sushi lovers and we go out for sushi often. Our favorite place to go is SushiHolic in Novato where they have the option of whole grain rice instead of plain white rice. Great place. When we go to sushi we like to get some sake with it. We were reading a bottle's label when we discovered there was a sake brewery right here in the Bay Area. We decided to take a tour. It was fantastic! The Takara Sake company is just off the freeway in Oakland.
The front door
They have a lovely tasting room, a 20 minute video that is quite interesting and informative as well as a free museum. The tasting is $5 and for that you get to try SEVEN different sakes and flavored wines. Since the bf was driving I got a little more than that.
Some of what you can taste
It was so fun and I highly recommend a visit there. We were inspired after to grab some sushi at SushiHolic after. Did I mind gaining a little weight after that? Not at all, besides, sushi is good for you, right?
A few days later my parents threw me a birthday party with an Oktoberfest theme. We had giant pretzels, spaetzel, and three kinds of sausages among other German fare.
Giant pretzel
Sausages and sauerkraut.
And of course, beer, lots and lots of different beers as well as Gewürztraminer and Riesling. My birthday cake was a fabulous homemade Black Forest Cake made using the recipe used by the original creator of the cake whose grandson my parents encountered in Germany and retrieved the recipe from. Did I do a long work out after this wunderbar evening? Nein, unless you consider the Chicken Dance a workout. It can get pretty intense!
Just a couple days following the Oktoberfest party my company treated me to a Masters of Wine Champagne tasting in San Francisco. This is a rare event where you are allowed to taste the top of the line champagnes out there.
One of hundreds of champagnes
I walked around the room with my glass and poured myself sips of the most expensive wines on the market for three hours. Afterwards we were all treated to unlimited oysters, grilled cheeses, wine and chowder at Hog Island Oyster Co. How can anyone pass that up? It was a beautifully balmy San Francisco evening and we ate outside within the view of the Bay Bridge. Do I regret gaining a pound that night. No way, Jose, this stuff was too good!!
Next came my actual birthday and it was a great one. First, because I work with several different departments I got a cake from each one. I ended up having FIVE cakes that day.
One of my five cakes
When I was young there was this Moroccan restaurant near where I lived and I thought it was the greatest place in the world. It looked like you were in a tent when you entered with fabric on the walls. They seated you on cushions on the floor and washed your hands with warm, scented water. You ate with no utensils and shared your food. That place realized how great it was and moved to the city and since gained a Michelin Star.
Mansour Resturant
I recently found a restaurant that was similar to the one from my youth. I made reservations and me and ten of my friends celebrated my birthday there. It was the best! There was a belly dancer who taught my bf to dance, there was a guy who poured mint tea from above his own head and the food was insane good.
Chicken stuffed pastry. Nom.
Lamb with honey and almonds.
I think I gained a good two pounds that day but that must be the cost to relive a childhood memory.
Then it was my dog's birthday and he got a cake too. Carrot cake.
Doggy birthday cake
Next came my family's annual fancy dinner excursion. Every October my father goes on a fishing trip and my brother, mother and I go out to a nice dinner at a restaurant. This year was Acquerello in San Francisco. Sure the bill just for my dinner alone was $200, it was worth every penny. With the amuse bouches we had about 8 courses. I had beef cannelloni, truffled steak tartate, Italian cheeses, Kobe steak, oxtail stuffed squash and two desserts. I also enjoyed three different delectable wines. The dinner and service were well worth the money and the extra ounces I might have gained.
One of the desserts
The very next morning my friends had stayed the night so we went out and got Denny's breakfasts. This one, I am not so sure I don't regret but it was fun at the time! Grits are delicious when they are smothered in cheese.
So as you can see...I simply do not have the time to diet!

In October 1939, the Schutz Staffeinel (SS) began to deport Jews living in Austria and Czechoslovakia to ghettos in Poland. Transported in locked passenger trains, large numbers died on the journey. Those that survived the journey were told by Adolf Eichmann, the head of the Gestapo's Department of Jewish Affairs: "There are no apartments and no houses – if you build your homes you will have a roof over your head."
In Warsaw all 22 entrances to the ghetto were sealed. The German authorities allowed a Jewish Council (Judenrat) of 24 men to form its own police to maintain order in the ghetto. The Judenrat was also responsible for organizing the labour battalions demanded by the German authorities. Conditions in the Warsaw ghetto were so bad that between 1940 and 1942 an estimated 100,000 Jews died of starvation and disease in the Warsaw Ghetto.
Anielewicz returned to Warsaw where he attempted to organize resistance to the Nazi occupation and in November 1942 was elected as chief commander of the Jewish Fighter Organization in the ghetto.
Between 22nd July and 3rd October 1942, 310,322 Jews were deported from the Warsaw ghetto to extermination camps. Information got back to the ghetto what was happening to those people and it was decided to resist any further attempts at deportation. In January 1943, Heinrich Himmler gave instructions for Warsaw to be "Jew free" by Hitler's birthday on 20th April.
Anielewicz now played a prominent role in organizing resistance in Warsaw. On 19th April 1943, the Waffen SS entered the ghetto. Although though only had two machine-guns, fifteen rifles and 500 pistols, the Jews opened fire on the soldiers. They also attacked them with grenades and petrol bombs. The Germans took heavy casualties on the first day and the Warsaw military commander, Brigadier-General Jürgen Stroop, ordered his men to retreat. He then gave instructions for all the buildings in the ghetto to be set on fire.
As people fled from the fires they were rounded up and deported to the extermination camp at Treblinka. The ghetto fighters continued the battle from the cellars and attics of Warsaw. On 8th May the Germans began using poison gas on the insurgents in the last fortified bunker. About a hundred men and women escaped into the sewers but the rest were killed by the gas, including Mordechai Anielewicz.See More

Oh, where to begin?! I guess my favorite memories of you revolve around my children. When you told me you would come once a week to help when the twins were babies--and continued to help me in little ways (well, some huge ways) long after that (including mom and me swim class and arriving at my home in the wee hours of the morning so Eric could rush to the hospital when I had Myka). The list goes on and on...How could I ever forget my surrogate big sister? (Our age span was not such that you could be a surrogate mother--even though you mothered me in many ways--let's just stick with big sister.) Love you, Meredith!

You were the person that introduced me to Black Friday shopping and the impulse purchases it inspires! We still use the DVD player I got that day (it was packed away with my teaching stuff when the housefire happened). The camera that both you and I got as an impulse buy (I found two stashed away on the floor behind a counter) is now our backup to take to Scout Camp and dangerous places like that.
Since then I've gone Black Friday shopping with my MIL while hugely pregnant and also with a sleepy 9 month old. Do I dare this year with a 2 year old and a 1 year old?!

Let me set the stage: it was a dark night, and a storm was brooding just off Grapevine (?) lake. You and I had been talking about Survivor all the way to the location of my 4th year camp out. I said, "Shouldn't the girls not set up their tent in the middle of a little gully?" I said it because we'd just discussed this because it had been on one of the episodes. You said, "It couldn't possibly rain hard enough to knock the tent over. They will be fine!" Not thirty minutes later we were engulfed in a torrential DOWNPOUR! Suddenly, we heard frantic screams coming from a tent... that was collapsing because the water had taken out the stakes and was sweeping the tent away! I remember the look you gave me. I don't think words could adequately describe it! One thing is for sure, we both found it highly amusing! I slept on a cot with my knees in my chest all night because the tent I was in was dripping onto my feet. I think you gave up and slept in your car! But I remember the spiritual lesson you gave us and feeling a little less depressed about the stormy camping trip. ;o)

I remember Lacey and I used to three way call you ALL the time. You were so nice to put up with us. I also remember a very nice note you left me on my bed once when I was away at EFY. You said that would still love me even when I was old and married to a general authority!! If I really looked, I bet I still have that note you gave me!! I also remember all the great songs you made up for Girls Camp. Sometimes, when I hear the orginal version on the radio, the girls camp lyrics come back to my head!! You were an excellent YW leader and I had a lot of good talks with you!!

I thought you seemed like a fun, dynamic person who I wanted to get to know. I was right! You are fun, dynamic, smart, etc. I really enjoy being in classes when you're teaching! (and no, not just because you sometimes throw out chocolate candy. . .) You are energetic and thoughtful and have a great family!! I've enjoyed all your kids that I've taught and/or otherwise been around. You rock, Merf :-)

I will always cherish the time I got to be a dead grandmother with you. I have always looked up to you as someone I would like to be more like. And I also learned how to truly "ponder" the scriptures after watching you backstage during Music Man. :0)

Number thirteen
Today is my thirteen-year wedding anniversary. It is also my last. For number twelve, we celebrated big. We had the entire day together, childfree. We took a mini road trip, had dinner and drinks, and went to a show. It was one of our best dates ever. This year, we are alone, in our own homes. We will individually be looking over the details of our separation agreement, making sure everything is right before we submit it to the powers that be. Of course, nothing really feels right.
I feel like I am living in a dream state. I am caught between two worlds, dangling precariously between the past and the future. Neither of my names fits me now- I can't really go back to who I was before I took his name, and I can't keep it because it feels like a weight. I am like Alice, unsure of which door to choose, unable to explain myself because I am not myself.
Yesterday I looked at my hands and I noticed there is still an indentation on my left ring finger, the space where my wedding ring used to reside. I haven't worn it for a few months now and I wonder how long will that mark be there? I don't want to see this physical reminder of another loss. When we told our daughter the news, she asked me what I was going to do with my wedding ring. She cried, begging me to please not get rid of it. Later that night I slipped it into her jewelry box. I don't know if she has discovered it, but I sometimes picture her sitting in her room, caressing the diamonds with her tiny fingers, as if it is some sort of talisman protecting her fragile heart.
My husband, if I can call him that, has moved on. I do not know if he will notice the date and remember how we promised ourselves to each other all those years ago. He would likely think, perhaps rightly so, that my acknowledgment of our anniversary makes me overly sentimental. I can't quite help it, though. I live my life by a different sort of calendar, dividing my memories by a series of losses and celebrations. This time, it will be no different. This is the year the day went from joyous to sad and I will add it to my timeline, knowing, somehow, I will continue moving forward.

Now we don't know about you, but there's nothing more annoying than finding a gennelman of hot repute in a nightclub, having a wee slap, tickle and hand down pants action, then losing him. It's a modern dilemma. Such a modern dilemma, in fact, that modern dilemma deserves capitalisation. So Modern Dilemma. We feel we may have to write a book about it.
Spookily, just such a happening happened this last weekend, when we happened across a hot gennelmen (okay, several) in Mr Black down ole New York way (it was work, people. WORK!), popped over to the hot barman who we're totally in love with (he knows. We told him. For anyone in the know, he's the one with the '70s pornstar 'tache, downstairs bar, hairy chest, our future boyfriend once he dumps the one he's with) in order to buy a drink, then totally lost all sense of direction 'cause we were off our faces on shandy booze.
This is going somewhere.
Basically, had the hot gennelmen of whom we speak been wearing these new fangled panties from Aussiebum, our Modern Dilemma might a) have been downgraded to a lower-case modern dilemma and maybe even b) been a non-dilemma. It's the homosexual nightclub version of following teacher-holding-aloft-large-brightly-coloured-signage-on-a-school-strip-somewhere-foreign,-exciting-and-potentially-dangerous. Never will you unwittingly lose a lover again.
There's even a dolly video showing the glow-in-the-dark panties in action. Jumpeth le jump to see it. *Pops on sunglasses*

This week Joe and I are going to be plugging away in the nursery. I have a LOT of presents to get unpacked, washed, and tucked away in the dresser drawers. Then we can get the mattress in the crib, and let that start to air out. I might even start a little painting this week, so we'll see. I am planning on doing a progress post sometime this week as well. On the food front, we are week 4 into the pantry challenge, and you can definitely see a dent in our food stores. We might not be able to eat enough to defrost the freezer this month though, so we'll probably have to continue the challenge into February. I want the chest freezer defrosted and mostly empty by the end of February so I can start freezer cooking and stocking in March for after the baby comes in April. I kept the menu rather simple, here's what's cooking...
Breakfasts: Special K Cereal and Bars, Homemade Blueberry Muffins
Lunches: Leftovers, Sandwiches
Sunday - Pancakes with Chipped Beef Gravy
Monday - Leftover Gravy and Pancakes
Tuesday - Baked Fish Sticks and French Fries
Wednesday - Chicken Fajitas, Mexican Rice, and Salad
Thursday - Working at Joe's Grandfather's house, so probably Chili's with him :)
Friday - Homemade Pizza, Veggies and Dip
Saturday - Shake and Bake Pork Chops, Rice Pilaf, and a Steamed Vegetable
Extras: Lemon Pie Bars

Hide and Seek
Wow, ten days. A lot has happened, but sometimes I just can't write anything. But I will try.
I forgot how hard it is to make good lasting friendships. Yes I have friends that I have made at school, but I still feel alone. I miss everyone and I'm afraid I won't make friendships like I had. I was so content with my surroundings and friends and now everything has been pulled out from underneath me. When I go home I wont even have a room anymore.
I was given a warning about the West Side of campus. "It's nice, but it has a way of cutting you off from the world." Apart from my lack of current news and knowledge about what is going on in the world overall, I also feel very separated from the main campus. With only two dorms on the west side right now and the third larger one being renovated there seems to be no life.
But if I weren't in the city, I wouldn't be able to witness a fight on an overly crowded train or be asked for money every block or a drunken bachlorette party on a trolley hitting people on the street with a large penis or watch a paralyzed man go over the Chicago river via a tightrope. The last one is going to happen at the Merchandise Mart coming soon.
I'm becoming poor fast. The city has a way with my pocketbook. Plus the girls like to take me shopping, something they should learn not to do. I know being rich doesn't bring happiness, but it will buy me the stuff I want and need. I haven't been robbed yet. I must intimidate them.
I need to go get a haircut...
I still feel like a stranger to this city. I don't know where to go, what to do. You can't miss what to think. Anti-Bush. Along with my school. Every professor so far has in one way or another brought the topic to how they dislike Bush. It's almost annoying. I'm no Republican but I disassociate myself with the Democrats everyday. I almost had a job with the Democratic National Convention until I realized their strategy was based on hating Bush and hating Republicans. You can hate Bush but don't base your party on that. Once he's gone what do you have? And as for hating Republicans, they have the views they have because they have to. There must be division and disagreement for democracy. There can't be one party. The Democrats were focused on killing Republicans. But then when they are gone what next? So I ditched them.
I've also been looking for other random jobs such as a test subject. Some psychological research here at UIC is supposed to call me back. I've heard sperm banks are great sources for money, but I don't know how I would feel knowing I have children that I will never know. There is one right down the street from me... Worst comes to worst, the Target here is amazing! It's two floors and has an escalator for your cart! It blew my mind away so much that I stood there for about two minutes watching it. Is it weird that I almost miss working there??
It's time for a new life to being.

Long Time, No See?
I know I haven't posted in a long time. But in all honesty, how do I describe what's going on?
Basically classes have started. The classes I am taking now force me to question whether I even left high school.
History 100 - Beginning of Time - 1648, cliché history class
Modern Greek 101 - Good class!
English 160 - Shoot me. I hate English classes
Classics 102 - Good, boring at times added to the fact that we don't do anything
LAS 110 - Success in the City - I hate this class. It's stupid, sucks, and the teacher is a slight bitch, pardon my French.
The one thing about classes I like here is my ability to
A) Not go if I so wish, though most of my professors take attendance.
B) Go outside and not be stuck in one building all day
C) There is no C.
All in all I'm having a great time. Like I said before, the people here are good and I've made some good friends. But that's just the Polk Street way I guess. Wow that was bad.
I keep telling myself everyday, "Don't get fat! Don't get fat!" I try to eat healthy more often and I've cut pop/soda out of my diet a good amount of the time. Once I get into the hang of things, I'm going to start to work out every week. By the time I come back I will be a powerhouse of muscle...Have you puked yet? Stop laughing at me! I can do it...
I declared my minor! I now am majoring in History with a minor in Anthropology.
Yeah, I think I'm done.

Tribe vs. Crowds
I'm just getting into a new book by author Seth Godin. The book is entitled, "Tribes" Just wanted to share a paragragh or two from the book. I'll no doubt, be sharing some more in the days to come. The book is a business minded book, but some of the principles apply to all of us. In lieu of church, ShadowLand, and much of what I'm involved with, these words had a strangely familiar sound to them. From page 32-34 in "Tribes"
How Many Fans Do You Have?
In an article posted on his Technium Web site, Kevin Kelly brilliantly described the world of "1,000 True Fans." A true fan, he argues, is a member of the tribe who cares deeply about you and your work. That person will cross the street to buy from you or bring a friend to hear you or invest a little extra to support.
An individual artist needs only a thousand true fans in her tribe. It's enough.
It's enough because a thousand fans will bring you enough attention and support to make a great living, to reach more people, to do great work. It's enough because a thousand fans, true fans, form a tribe.
A true fan brings three friends with him to a John Mayer concert or to the opening of a Chuck Close exhibit. A true fan pays extra to own the first edition, or buys the hardcover, instead of just browsing around on the web site. Most important, a true fan connects with other true fans and amplifies the noise the artist makes.
A corporation or a nonprofit or a church may need more than that-perhaps a million fans if your Starbucks, or fifteen million if you're running for president. But, it's beyond doubt that there's a number-you can figure out what it is- and it's probably fewer people than you imagine.
Too many organizations care about numbers, not fans. They care about hits or turnstile clicks or media mentions. What they're missing is the depth of commitment and inter-connection that true fans deliver. Instead of always being on the hunt for one more set of eyeballs, true leaders have figured out that the real win is in turning a casual fan into a true one. (Emphasis mine)
Fans, true fans, are hard to find and precious. Just a few can change everything. What they demand, though, is generosity and bravery.
Your thoughts!?

I love this concept, I was thinking of Jesus's "fan" following in the scriptures. i think that we as a church could really benefit from this.

That's what I was thinking too! Jesus, had the original 12, and the three closest to Him, and changed the world...literally!

I can finally cross something off my 30 Before 30 list! This morning, I ran my first 5K.
I use the term "ran" loosely, because it was probably the world's slowest running pace on record, but it was a run nonetheless. We walked for 30 seconds at the halfway point, so I'd say that we ran a full three miles out of the 3.1.
Toward the end, I felt like I was running out of gas. I'd never run more than 2.25 miles in a practice run, and I think that was a mistake. With just a little more speed on the second half of the run, we'd have finished in under 40, since our first half was complete in 19.
Highlights of the race:
- The weather! It felt a little too cold before we started running, but absolutely perfect during the race.
- The course! Busse Woods is right in the town where we both grew up, so we could peek through the trees and see familiar houses and streets that
let us know exactly where we were and how far we had left. This was especially motivating on the way back (Look! It's the blue house! That means we're almost done!).
- The company! Betsie and I have been friends since we were four and have tons of memories of hellish mile-runs in grade school and high school. It was a huge victory to feel like we've left those days in the dust, now that we're voluntarily running much farther distances.
- The Easter bunny! He wasn't there to take pictures–he was there to run! (He beat us by quite a bit, proving that slow and steady does NOT always win the race.)
- The end! It was so exciting to see our husbands and Betsie's kids cheering us on, and the race volunteers were so enthusiastic and complimenting us on finishing strong. The music was also energizing, and the free banana was a lifesaver. I felt very dizzy when I stopped, and it fixed me right up.
And now for the downsides:
- The MUD. It was everywhere. My beautiful, magical running shoes are now a solid brown. My pants have mud up to my knees. It was crazy!
- The bathrooms! Metal toilets, no toilet paper and NO STALL DOORS despite there being more than one toilet in the room. Gag. I chickened out and dealt with a semi-full bladder. Poor Betsie probably got tired of me shrieking, "Oh my gosh, I have to PEE!!"
- Being passed by a toddler and her mother, and hearing the little girl say, "Mommy, we actually passed someone!"Actually, that should go on the list of positives. It was hilarious.
I wore my medal proudly and plan to sleep with it tonight.
Just kidding. But I may frame it with a photo from the race and hang it up in the office. I'm ridicuously proud that I've gone from a 270-pound couch potato who couldn't run a half mile to a 228-pound woman who can run three–in TEN WEEKS.
You know how you always hear the Biggest Loser contestants say "If I can do it, ANYONE can do it!" and you want to beat them up because they have six months away at a ranch in which they're sequestered from all bad food, don't have to go to work and can work out every second of the day?
Well, I do have a trainer for three hours a week, but I grocery shop, cook my own food, go to restaurants, work full time, have very little willpower, adore pizza and pasta, hate working out for the most part and deal with temptation every single day, so I am telling you, if I can do it, anyone can. It's so hard, but so worth it.
The best part about all of this isn't the weight loss. It's the confidence and the strength that I feel that I've never felt before. I feel like I have a zest for life that had dimmed in recent years. I can't wait to see what life holds for me! Maybe one day next year I'll get to post about a 10K run!

Let the Sunshine!
I have been doing lots & lots of ironing. I was able to buy Mr No Spends prescription glasses which were £50.00 ( for reading & on the computer).
Emergency Fund-This has £300.00 in the fund now
Holiday Fund-The holiday fund from ebay sales has £200.00 in the pot.
The next lot of ebay money will be going towards our April half yearly water bill. I have £50.00 in the paypal & the water bill is usually £200. - £250.00 yikes!Need to get selling more.
Our garage tenant has a new lock up via work so we will be losing that £80.00 a month. My neighbour is going to rent half a garage of us for £10.00 a week. Which means I will be able to store bits & bobs in there to. My ebay corner in the conservatory does seem to grow so it will be a welcome space!
I was a bit naughty earlier on in the month & bought 3 lovely tops.
I have stopped my counseling,as my nhs cbt appointment is coming in May it is going to be 3 x 2 hour workshops on Anxiety management & all the trimmings! as well as a one to one at a later date.
I need to get back on the wagon with regard to being more stringent with spending as it seems to have taken a back seat.
No weight lost!. But i have made my self walk 3 evenings last week & the week before with my sons music in my ears!. Me brisk walking !. I do like walking & I am finding it stress relief. My son lets me use his ipod touch I have 3 songs on there!,one is St Elmos fire it makes me walk faster.

Feel the experience, Become a Partner!
Become a Benefactor of our Foundation and you will enjoy an original photograph of Xavier Ribas, limited edition for the Benefactors of Foto Colectania.
This photograph is made from the pedestrian bridge that crosses London Wall, in the City of London, the oldest settlement in the city. The recurring theme of the images in this series is the invisibility of memory. The name of the street refers to the demolished medieval wall of the city. The dialogue between the two architectural typologies of the two facades of the street is striking, as if both sides were 'frontier spaces', annexes of an invisible wall that precedes them. Michel de Certeau speaks of the 'invisible identities of the visible' and that the city is made of voids where the visible designates what is no longer there.

A little more scandal
SO I couldn't resist to post this picture to go with all of the insight i left earlier about the Catholic Church Sex Scandal. I think this cartoon says it all almost though. Ive read how the American government has helped to cover it up, and how the Vatican is trying to bend over backwards to go with the US right now. The scandals however, will not be forgiven just like that, and having Uncle Sam actually in the confessional is an interesting idea.

A few days ago I stepped outside the dormitory door to a bizarre feeling. It was strangely familiar, and yet so foreign… it felt like there was something wrong with my face, ears and fingertips. …Oh, wait, it's all coming back to me now; this time of year is supposed to be cold, not sunny and sixty degrees! Since the day when the cold suddenly hit, it has indeed been quite freezing outside, and I'm very thankful for this because otherwise I would have withered when I got off the plane in Bozeman next week.
With that and the decorations hung up everywhere, Christmas music in English and Greek playing on the radio, people out Christmas shopping in Thessaloniki, and the discovery of some ridiculously tasty pear hot chocolate in the neighboring town of Thermi, it is indeed finally beginning to look a lot like Christmas. My friends and I went into Thessaloniki to see the lighting of the Christmas tree, and it was fun to be in a big city for an event like this for one of the first times in my entire life; the tree was huge, the square was packed, and the air was filled with an electric excitement.
And in just five days, I will be getting on a plane headed for HOME! I really can't believe it. It seems surreal right now. I wasn't counting down the days until last week, because I really love my life here, but last week was pretty trying: I was extremely busy getting the student newspaper ready for printing and writing an article for the Fulbright – Greece newsletter, and I had a minor breakdown about my food situation here. Being 23 and used to cooking for myself, it has been hard for me to adjust to eating in a school cafeteria again; and while I'm normally quite resilient and adaptable, my love for food is at the very core of what makes up a Kate. I'm finding it's the one thing I can't adapt to here, and I hit the wall last week, finding myself just not eating. Because of that and all the walking and running I do here, I think I've lost 15 pounds since I got here.
Anyway, I'm still in love with my life here, but I am ready for a short break. There are so many people I miss so dearly back home, and because I come from a really interesting, unique community, there are lots of things I miss about Bozeman! These are some of the things I am determined to do while home:
- Spend time with my lovely family and dear friends–I can't WAIT to see your faces, all of you!
- Go skiing at Bridger Bowl
- Eat MASSIVE American breakfasts EVERY SINGLE DAY (Hey look, I think I see those fifteen pounds headed back this way!)
- Play with my Abbie dog in the snow!!
- Eat at La Parilla (the BEST burrito joint ever) and Mackenzie River (the BEST pizza joint ever)
- Cook!! I can't wait to cook for the first time in over three months. I'm planning to make melomakaronas, a honey pastry made in Greece only around Christmastime, and cook lots of delicious ethnic food to get my fill for the next few months!
- Drink delicious beer from my favorite microbreweries! If anyone hands me an Amstel or Heineken while I'm home I will cry or throw up or both.
- Celebrate my awesome friend Julie's 24th birthday!
- Eat as much sushi as I possibly can. My family has it every Christmas Eve (don't ask, we're not sure why either), and I've set aside a little cash so I can go to Dave's Sushi with the fabulous Ms. Emily Allison AND go get omakase (chef's choice) with my favorite Bennett ever!
- Watch the Food Network for more time than I care to specify here…
- Enjoy my family's lovely and bizarre Christmas traditions. I love Christmastime at the Peterson house, from the Swedish pancakes for breakfast to the freakish ornaments and everything in between!
All in all, I'm so excited to be going home for a short time. Oh! And while trying to find a flight home, the cheapest option was to fly through Budapest and spend a night there. So I have an evening in Budapest to figure out what to do with! I've never been to Hungary before, but I still manage to say its name almost every day… har har.
Happy Christmas season everyone!

MOSCOW, July 30. /TASS/. Russia remains committed to thorough and objective international investigation of MH17 crash over Ukraine and to bringing those guilty to justice, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Thursday.
"Russia will continue making the most energetic efforts on rendering all possible assistance to investigating the air crash," the document said. Russia refused to put through the politicized decision forced on the UN Security Council on establishing an international tribunal to bring those guilty in Malaysian Boeing-777 crash over Ukraine to justice, the Russian Foreign Ministry noted.
Russia tried to prevent the split in the UN Security Council and bring the issue into constructive framework, the document said. "This is exactly what the draft resolution proposed by Russia and based on [UN Security Council] Resolution 2166 was aimed at — to broadly employ UN mechanisms for soonest completion of full, transparent and trustworthy international investigation of the crash and subsequently search for the most appropriate format of legal proceedings," the foreign ministry said. "Only the full implementation of Resolution 2166 will allow to find those guilty and bring them to justice," the ministry added.
"Russia condemns the destruction of Malaysian plane MH17 by unidentified persons and once again expresses deepest condolences to the relatives of all passengers and crew members that became victims of this horrible tragedy," Russia's diplomatic agency said.
The Russian Foreign Ministry expressed regret that initiators of the latest UN Security Council session ignored Russia's proposal. "Instead of that, they preferred to hastily submit for voting in the Security Council their own version with establishing an international tribunal without discussing any other options," the ministry noted. "Our persistent explanations about inexpedience and counter-productiveness of such step, that had no precedents in the past, before the ongoing investigation into circumstances of the air crash is complete, were not taken into account," the diplomatic agency stressed.
On Thursday, Russia vetoed the United Nations Security Council resolution on establishing an international tribunal to prosecute persons guilty of the MH17 plane crash over Ukraine on July 17, 2014 on Wednesday.
Eleven Security Council members voted for the Malaysia-proposed draft, which, in fact, was enough for its adoption but Russia used its right of veto.
Another three countries, including Angola, Venezuela and China, abstained from voting.
The two-page Malaysia-proposed draft resolution classifies the incident as a threat to international peace and security and provides for the creation of a tribunal under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter in pursuit of a single goal — to prosecute persons responsible for the crimes linked to the destruction of the Malaysia Airlines plane (flight MH17). The statute (charter) of the proposed tribunal, which supplements the draft resolution, demands that all countries should cooperate with the future legal body in full measure.
Russian Ambassador to United Nations Vitaly Churkin told journalists on July 27 that Moscow had legal, practical and political objections regarding the proposal. Churkin said it was wrong to classify the air crash as a threat to international peace and security and create a tribunal proceeding from Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter.
"Never before international tribunals were established to investigate civilian plane crashes under Chapter VII of the UN Charter. No tribunal was set up to investigate the crash of a Russian airliner shot down by a Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile in 2001 or a US-destroyed Iranian plane," Churkin said.
On 17 July 2014, a Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 passenger airliner on flight MH17 from the Dutch city of Amsterdam to the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur crashed in the Donetsk Region in eastern Ukraine, killing all 298 people on board. Most passengers — 193 people — were Dutch nationals. The suspected cause of the crash is that the plane was hit by a surface-to-air missile. The Dutch Safety Board is conducting the investigation.

Abuli and Bernet's masterpiece, Torpedo, is the story of Luca Torelli's rise from the gutters to become the top killer-for-hire in 1930s New York City. The Torpedo, along with his constant companion, Rascal, wreaks swift and terrible underworld justice on all those unfortunate enough to cross their paths. Abuli's stories are full of cruel and morbidly dark humor, and Bernet's art style is perfect for showcasing New York as both stylish and grim. Together they work seamlessly to create a classic and timeless series.

West End TreatRead More
Posted on 15th May 2018
Cooks Spinney has been praised by Ofsted for its "significant" improvement which places it in the top nine per cent of schools nationally.
Cooks Spinney was visited over two days in June and a report recently published graded the school as Good in every category.
The report highlighted the 2016 SATs results as "outstanding" and commented on good progress, rising attainment and good behaviour and said parents agree that their children feel happy, safe and well cared for in school.
Stuart Pope, executive head, said: "Cooks Spinney has never received a Good grading from Ofsted in its history, but now the school is considered Good in every area. Just a couple of years ago, the school was considered to be failing.
"We believe this school is outstanding and that is echoed by the reputation it now has around the town.
"That turnaround has been quite remarkable."
Cooks Spinney became part of the Burnt Mill Academy Trust in 2013 and has seen huge improvements in belief and achievement since.
The report stated: "School leaders, working closely with the Trust, are changing the culture of the school. Pupils increasingly realise traits such as resilience and effort lead to success. They are aspirational for the future."
The school, previously given a Requires Improvement report, had already gained high praise from a variety of education leaders before the official inspection took place.
With its SATs results placing it in the top quartile of Essex schools as well as establishing it as the best primary school in Harlow, congratulations had been received from Clare Kershaw, a director in the education department of Essex County Council; Nicola Woolf, primary lead commissioner on standards and excellence for Essex County Council; Nick Gibb MP, Minister of State for School Standards; as well as a positive visit from the office of regional school commissioner for the east of England, Dr Tim Coulson.
Mr Pope said: "We are grateful for the Good grading from Ofsted, but we know parents want to send their children to Cooks Spinney because we are offering something special.
"We are always working hard to make even more improvements and to make sure these children have an exceptional experience and leave with great outcomes. We are sending good quality young people into secondary school." The full report can be read here.

Monthly Archives: January 2014
Get Organised in 2014!
With the start of the new year it seems people decide to make a fresh start, whether it's eating heathier, drinking less, exercising more or just being generally more organised. Here at Koziol we always like to get organised in January, ready for the year ahead.
Personally I love a bit of colourful storage, from a new bin to a recycling tub, I have to admit that when everything has a home it gives me a real sense of satisfaction, especially if that new home is stylish! It seems I'm not alone, most of our customers this week have been in to buy some sort of storage from Tasche for recycling newspapers, magazine, or tins etc to Bottichellis for everything from the kids toys to laundry & bathroom accessories.
So get orgainsed this January with some colourful storage from Koziol

Course Director BA (Hons) Drawing
Camberwell College of Arts
Kelly Chorpening is an American artist who has lived in London since 1999. Since working as an archaeological illustrator in India in 1993, she has dedicated herself to drawing, both as a practitioner and educator. She is co-author of the UAL Drawing Qualification units, and since 2006, Course Director of BA (Hons) Drawing at Camberwell College of Arts.
She is currently a co-investigator in a practice-based research project entitled 'In- and outside- writing' (funded by Opak, Belgium), an investigation into when the creative acts of drawing and writing are closest. Project outputs include a large-scale exhibition of the same name at Voorkamer in Lier, Belgium, and two publications in 2012 - a limited edition artists book published by RGAP, UK, and the Opak cahier, published by ACCO, Belgium.
Drawing, object vs. word, drawing vs. writing.
Kelly Chorpening's recent experiments with ways of materialising the form of language in order to test the fundamental processes of naming and identification that occur in both drawing and writing. Basic forms and gestural marks resembling letters, words and utterances are articulated along a stretched horizontal format, creating an experience of the work akin to reading.
In 1968, Michel Foucault, described Rene Magritte's ' Ceci n'est pa une pipe' as "simultaneously present and visible, image, text, resemblance, affirmation and their common ground." Whether on the page or on the wall, the work explores this area of ambiguity between object vs. word, drawing vs. writing.

While Tarot cards have been used for divination for 500 years, the I-Ching stretches back 5,000 years to the very advent of writing itself. In fact, many regard the I-Ching as the oldest oracle still consulted today. Timothy believes the Tao of the East can work in tandem with the Wisdom of the West, dovetailing into a single confluence. Therefore his readings often start with a few tarot cards to slowly wade into archetypal waters, getting a feel for the moment at hand, before consulting the I-Ching on questions related to love/work/health, especially when one faces an important decision. Whether throwing down coins or drawing cards, the uncanny abounds—divine messages intuited from above and below to help guide us on the path.
Cost: $40 for half hour reading; $75 for one hour reading.
Teacher Bio: Timothy Liu is a reader and writer of occult esoterica. An author of ten books of poems, Liu has had work published in Best American Poetry, The Pushcart Prize, The Paris Review, and American Poetry Review. His journals and papers are archived in the Berg Collection at the New York Public Library. He frequently gives I-Ching and Tarot readings in New York City (Edgar Cayce Center, New York Theosophical Society) as well as from the islands of Greece to the mountains and jungles of Peru.

Monday 4/12/10 - "WORDLESS"
Now that I am feeling better I was ready to be able to concentrate on a blog. Well, I do have my focus back, but when it comes to writing a blog, for some reason my mind is "wordless". Some kind of block? I feel like the poor fellow above - all feet - not enough brain.
On a second brief thought, this may not be such a bad thing. It's not good for writing, but it has an upside. I am an over-analyzer, a thinker, a person whose mind sometimes just won't quit. Anyone reading this able to relate? It can be a big blessing to have it slow down. I am also a pretty serious person and it is good to lighten up.
The other day I happened to say to my sponsor, "My mind is blessedly blank." I feel discouraged that it is so difficult to come up with a blog, but I think I will just turn it around for today and say how grateful I am that my brain isn't in overdrive and there is a peace and serenity that is filling it at this moment.
I am off to the hospital shortly. I missed last week when I was sick. Each time I volunteer it is like a gigantic surprise. I never know what will happen, who I will see, what God will choose to do. One thing I am certain of, I will be blessed.
Love you all,
Prayer Girl

"My mind is blessedly blank."
That is what a high school teacher told me once. I do not remember his using the word "blessedly"...
This I DO know, that in the hospital today, more then a dozen peeps will be blest through your healing touch.
Yesterday a Peep reminded me about being "healed through your touch"--more than two years ago!
Bless you, PG, and love, too.

Oh I LOVE the pic of the Blue Footed Booby...they are amazing.

I'm glad you're feeling better, I'd bet you met and felt the spirit through a few people yesterday at the hospital (which is always fun to read about).
I wish and pray so many blessings to you that your blog cannot contain them!

Hi PG. I thought of you often recently as I notice the volunteers at the hospital during Rosalie's last hospitalization. Those smiles from those loving men and women helped many of us get through the day. Hope you feel better.
And yes, a blank mind can be a blessing. I think it is God's way of saying "REST."
- April 13, 2010 at 3:11 PM
- Kathy M. said...
Boy, I can definitely relate to everything you wrote. A blank mind is a terrible thing to waste. I think of all the hours spent in meditation trying to create just that!
I think there is a general lull in the blog world right now. Must be a case of spring fever. Love the photos!

Oh God LOLOLOLOLOL
Tebow gets way too much hate. The kid is a great QB and has heart. Give him a chance.
Dude you're so wrong you have no idea. Arm strength means nothing if your passes are 10 feet away from the guy you're trying to throw to. Look at his NFL stats. Literally the statline of 3 games for an average passer but it's in like 10 starts. He cannot make short, intermediate or long throws and in a passing league good fucking luck. There are literally 10-15 QB's currently out of the league i'd rather have then Tebow if I was trying to win a game tomorrow.
I'd go back to asking Jamarcus Russel how far arm strength gets you in the NFL
Gota love dat nukka Jamarcus, das muh boi
ur an idiot
Don't play Madden, do his running stats led to easy video game stats?
Anyhow, I would give McElroy and Tebow 1 game each. Not sure if the Jets are afraid of backlash if Tebow played a game and the team did decent.
Blah blah... Raiders.
Tebow has a better arm. He was and is a better player. Russell was undisciplined and allegedly addicted to codeine.. He allegedly abused cough syrup. Drugs probably affected his performance.
What's Tebows excuse for being horrible then?
Tebow without a doubt has a weaker arm than Jamarcus. Not to mention, the Raiders team was completely designed around having a strong arm.
And I'm sure he got plenty of cough syrup in college too.
Nah, Tebow's arm is stronger.
NFL = more money = afford more drugs.
Russell was likely done in by the drug abuse.
Tebow never put out a performance like vick in his prime or even now.
real talk, Tebow can't even throw a short pass. He is garbage.
Yes, he can. He can throw long passes, he can throw short ones... duh.
last year I was watching him and he tried hitting a receiver on a screen pass and missed his target by about ten yards. loolllllllllllololollllllllllol
just play the man somewhere. even if he sucks, i want to see the tebow story play out.
