Sunscreen, sweat & off...is that all?
I've been yearning to write lately but either don't have the time or just don't know what to say. I never wanted this blog to just be an update on my life. I wanted it to be inspirational. But I guess I have felt un-inspired. However, I hate to admit that because I have the greatest inspiration at my disposal...Jesus! And not only that, my life is not bad. Yet I have been "blah." I don't know any better word than that and I have no grand reason as to why so I feel guilty about it. But I guess there are a few things piled on top of each other that have not helped that feeling. First things first, I am 17 weeks pregnant!!! Yes, a surprise to us but a good and God one! I am due November 29 but will either be induced or scheduled for a c-section a week before that (due to complications with my last delivery with Lillie.) We find out the sex of the baby in 2 weeks and I can not wait! With that said, I really do have easy pregnancies (praise Jesus!); However, I do seem to project some "grouchy hormone" that just doesn't enjoy being pregnant...ha. I hate to admit it but its true. And on top of that, it doesn't help that my main source of community these days is my 15 month old baby, Lillie! Please hear me...she is probably the greatest joy in my life next to Jesus! I love her to pieces and hourly thank God for her! However, it does make for long days when it's just mostly her and I all the time. Steven works a lot unfortunately (life of a fire fighter) so he is not able to be home as much as the "normal" husband/dad...or as much as he would like. Another cause of "blah." So my "pregnant, stay at home mom, chasing a baby, and doing most of it alone self" is struggling with the mundane right now. Most of Lillie and I's days consist of being lathered in sunscreen, sweat and Off as we play outside with the dogs. I am a blessed girl and thank God daily, but this is my lot right now and I am still human and just being honest. I guess I miss community...with my husband, day to day with adults, etc. We have a great church that we joined not to long ago (Antioch) and that was an answer to prayer! It has helped. But this is still how I feel. Sorry for the depressing/non inspirational post. But I wanted/needed to start writing again so I just did and this is what came out. Aren't you lucky? :) That is, if anyone still reads this. I thank God for the diapers and the more about to come! In the meantime, I am asking God to show me His Glory in such a way in this phase of my life that it rushes Living Waters back into my soul and restores me! I know this is just a phase and one that I will miss when all is said and done. Lillie is about to wake up now and my pregnant self is hungry so I must hop off.

So in honor of my 25th birthday I thought I would try to make a list of important events that occured in each year of my life. Some big, some extremely random (i.e. the first thing that popped into my head from that age) but we'll see what I can come up with!
0- birth
1- walking, talking, eating solid foods, eating a gigantic chocolate bunny, yada yada yada.
2- my sister was born, consequently, I cracked my head open while with the babysitter that day. I just couldn't handle not being at the hospital with the rest of the fam.
3- okay i'm already drawing a blank!
4- saw my first movie in the theater: Bambi, have been terrified of fire ever since.
5- started kindergarten, learned about "stop, drop, and roll" when the firefighters came to speak to our class.
6- my only memory from this year is my first day of 1st Grade when they decided my speech problems were gone. According to my high school boyfriend who was in my class, I apparantly made fun of him for not going to church.
7- Wore a skirt to school pretty much every day, year round.
8- I believe this was the year I broke my arm when I tied a jump rope to our bunkbeds and attempted to rappel down. This was also the year I discovered I tie crappy knots.
9- first slumber party! For my birthday I had friends stay over and I stayed up the entire night so I could see the sun rise.
10- had my first male school teacher, threw a complete fit when I found out my teacher wasn't a woman, wore a white headband to school pretty much every day for some strange reason.
11- placed in the gifted program, which was extremely dull, watched a peer put pencil eraser bits in the coffee of the mean gifted teacher. Discovered cheesy popcorn, also, had a POG collection (anyone remember pogs?)
12- cried during the speech I gave at my 6th grade graduation program, had my first boyfriend.
13- first kiss, first pair of real tennis shoes (adidas), tried to use a tampon for the first time, was traumatized.
14- first break up and post-break up hair chop (yeah I was in a very *serious* relationship from age 12-14), left the church I'd gone to all my life, played the part of the crazy mayor's wife in The Music Man.
15- learned to drive, acquired Mr. Snowman, discovered that even good Christian girls develop sex drives.
16- worked my first job as a cashier at HyVee, discovered retail sucks, a lot. Discovered my tendency to have panic attacks when forced to sing in front of others.
17- let's just say that was a tough year. I thought I was old enough to make adult choices, but also discovered they weren't all they were cut out to be.
18- went to college, met some of the most amazing friends ever, discovered life outside of Kansas, consumed a lot of caffeine.
19- broke up with high school boyfriend of three and a half years, met the man I knew I was going to marry a week later. Got thrown off a horse. Swore off horseback riding and wrangling. Got my first cell phone, the key to any long distance relationship!
20- spent 5 weeks in Mexico, swore off traveling to countries without clean water for the sake of my stomach after 5 weeks of pure hell.
21- lived in Colorado for 2 months, got engaged, graduated from college, worked my first full-time job.
22- got married! Moved to D.C., discovered how boring office work truly can be, met Pumpkin the pug and decided pugs were the breed for me.
23- left the great city of D.C., and Baja Fresh *tear*, moved back to Kansas. Took a job I never should have taken working for the Baptists.
24- questioned pretty much everything I believed in my entire life, decided I'm a democrat and that doesn't mean I'm a bad person, became a pug mama, discovered the joy that is Zoloft, started grad school, bought my first house. It's been an eventful year!
whew, congrats if you got through all of that! I think my life has been pretty blessed thus far with an amazing family, friends, husband, pug, and some great opportunities. I am not really excited about turning 25 as I feel quite a bit of pressure to know what I want to do with my life and I feel realllllly close to having to make the decision to have children. Kind of scary but exciting as well. Hopefully by this time next year I will be a better wife, friend, social worker, and pug mama. That's about all I can hope for.

|Depoe Bay is lovely in the fall.
|Yes, these photos are from November.
|I've been a bit distracted.
|Hope you can forgive me.
|Have a pretty wave sequence.
What a photographer does on her own time...
|Depoe Bay is lovely in the fall.
|Yes, these photos are from November.
|I've been a bit distracted.
|Hope you can forgive me.
|Have a pretty wave sequence.
|Approaching from the oceanside path.
It has been a while since I have taken any photos. Without going into a lot of detail, I guess I just haven't felt like it until yesterday. Glad I did, though. Ice does magical things if you want to see them. We had some fun in the backyard. It's amazing how deep the snow got! I had to put on some fishing boots to cover my legs enough for it.
|Lily and I decided to leave "Butt Angels" on the car.
|Extremely deep footprints.
|We had a slight melt, and refreeze. There was a small section that did not have treacherous ice on it, and that is how we managed them.
|Icicle, icicle, where are you going?
|Where are... you going?
|The apartment complex behind my house had quite the impressive double-layered icicle show, going on.
|Sadly, these were ours. Apparently, something must be blocking the gutters.
|More stair treachery.
|I enjoyed the light play that my compost bin was offering up, here.
|So very icy.
|So very.
|There's that silly girl, again.
|Rosemary... heaven restores you in ice.
|My snowy porch. The stairs are clear, believe it or not.
|Snowy tree. Looks a little like cotton.
|Miss Lily, at the viewpoint overlooking the Columbia, and crossing to Longview.
|Wild oats, at the mouth of the Columbia.
|I'm calling this a Roarschach Mandala. Lily wandered into the surf with her rain boots on. They filled with water, and I emptied them for her, onto the sand. It made some fun textural patterns.
|Miss Ruby, in her happy place, at last. None of this urban hiking crap for her. Why do people like that???
|Happy kiddo.
|Can we please be done, Mommy? The beach kind of freaks me the hell out. Seriously. You humans are so damn weird.

So first off I'd just like to say, I officially started a second blog, as per the "picture a day" idea. This will be updated daily just the same as this one so you are welcome to follow that as well. The link for that is posted right here , so you're welcome to click on that and check it out and follow it if you wish. Also I discovered a feature where every time I post a new blog it can be emailed to you so you don't even have to come and check if it's here or not, and thus if you would like that to happen for either blog, or perhaps both, just send me an email.
And now on to what I really want to talk about.
Change and transition is an interesting concept that can provoke a great many emotions in people. Sometimes people really like it, and other times they hate it, some are apathetic and indifferent and others care quite a bit. The word 'change' most likely makes you think, at one point in your thought process or another, towards current President Obama. Whether you are a fan or not (I happen to be indifferent and pretty much hate discussing politics in any way shape or form) I think it's safe to say that his promise of change really struck a chord with the public, and that one simple word was certainly one of the cornerstones of his policy.
Whether you like change or not seems to be sort of in your wiring as a person, and I'll bet if you asked no one could really tell you why they're like that -- either they like it or don't, and that's just the way it is. Personally, I can't stand to be in one place at one point in my life for too long. i need something to mix things up, something to "add some spice" if you will.
It's one of the reasons why I went to college far away one home, one of the reasons why a far location was a requirement for the school that I went to. It's one of the reasons why I go to different people's houses for various holidays, and why I am always trying to do something different with my hair or with my life. For whatever reason I am just not satisfied being in one place for a super extended period of time. However this personality trait conflicts with some of the other goals that I have in my life.
Being a free spirit, it's pretty intuitive to know that I love to travel. Seeing the new places, experiencing new food, different people, and just a different life in general is awesome. Taking a trip through the Mediterranean coast when I was younger a few years back was one of the most meaningful and life changing experiences of my life. When people ask me if I'm planning on staying at Clemson for the 2 years of graduate school that is pretty much imperative that I take in orderly to become properly licensed as an architect, I can confidently say, absolutely not. I'm sure that after 4 years at one school, I'll be ready for a change. It's one of the reasons that I pursued architecture as a career, because although your process may be the same, there is always some sort of new project that you can work on (economy permitting of course).
I'd love to be able to travel the world, and to explore different parts of it, whether it be on a snowboard or just walking around. Another goal is to eventually take a trip around the states, and really explore the heart of the country that I live in. Get on a motorcycle, leave the phone and GPS at home, and just ride where the road takes me. Meet new people and take everything as it comes and goes. It brings a whole new meaning to living in the present, and the mystery of where you'll be by the end of the day is really inspiring.
However, that sort of thing can't really happen if I want to have a family. I refuse to be a father that's never there for my children. And it wouldn't be fair to my future wife either. Hopefully my future wife will share some of these same desires and perhaps will join me in my pursuit. At some point of course, I'm sure I'll be all pooped out of traveling, and will simply want to settle down and just enjoy life, enjoy my family, a family I can entirely call my own, and live out a long and successful life. Life isn't always perfect, but we can sure hope and dream, and there is certainly nothing wrong with that.
And so as I approach my return to the Clemson area, or at least the departure from a place I once called home, I ready myself for another transition back into school. Back into the events that happen around Clemson, back into the lives of my friends, and back into my life in the south. I'm looking forward to going back. I figured that at the end of 3 weeks at home I'd be sick of it, and I was right. I'll do my best to make the most of my time here in Jersey, and come Tuesday, it's back on the plane to home.

Missy Elliott Tribute to Be Headed by Pharrell and Timbaland
Hip hop artist Missy Elliott is set to be honored at a tribute for this year's VH1 Hip Hop Honors. Pharrell Williams and Timbaland are a couple of the artists who will be taking part in this.
Among other noted stars who will be participating in the Hip Hop Honors include Nelly Furtado, Keyshia Cole, Jazmine Sullivan, Remy Ma and Fantasia. The event will air live on July 11th from the New York Lincoln Center. Eve is also going to host the show, which will be taking place for the first time in six years, all while tributes to other artists like Salt-N-Pepa and Lil' Kim will be getting similar tributes of their own.
Queen Latifah is also set to be honored with her own tribute as well, with artists such as Common, Naughty By Nature, Da Brat and Rah Digga being featured, honoring all of the first ladies of hip hop and rap. Latifah is even going to take the stage herself and perform the 1989 hit "Ladies First" with Monie Love on-stage with her. Interestingly enough that was the same year that Latifah released her own debut album called "All Hail the Queens."
2010 was the last time a VH1 Hip Hop Honors live show took place but that time it was paying tribute to artists representing the "Dirty South," with many of the big names such as the 2 Live Crew, Jermaine Dupri, Timbaland and Master P.

Saturday Christine and I had the pleasure to photograph Amy and Mark's wedding at the Round Hill House, in Washingtonville, NY. The ceremony began with the signing of the katubah in the front parlor. After the signing, with friends and family participating, the rabbi took a few moments alone with the couple. This photo was taken as the door was closing for their private session.
The rain stopped in time for the ceremony, plenty of food and drinks were served by F.E.A.S.T, and a great band kept the crowd on their feet dancing past midnight. Lovely wedding.

Scripture Reading: Genesis 31:1-55 / Matthew 12:1-21 / Psalm 9:13-20
How much is man worth? A man who weighs 160 pounds is approximately comprised of 100 pounds of water, 29 pounds of protein, 25 pounds of fat, 5 pounds of minerals, 1 pound of carbohydrates and 1/4 ounce of vitamins. During the depression in 1936, all of those items cost 98 cents. In 1969 it elevated in value to $3.50 and today the price for your body's raw elements has skyrocketed to $17.18!
If you would take the same 160-pound man and sell his body parts on the black market, he would be worth about $45 million! Of course our vital organs are the most profitable and we can't live without them so it's better to keep everything! There are over 113,000 people on waiting lists for organ transplants and only a little over 14,000 organs were donated last year. There are those who are willing to do whatever it takes and pay whatever it takes to get those organs, blood or bones.
We certainly do not place a value on man according to the price of their body parts, as man is far greater than that. There are many ways to measure a person's worth and it's not always in dollars and cents or pounds and ounces. A teacher who develops young minds and gives their students a firm foundation is valuable. The physician who through study and skill restores strength and health is worth much.
It doesn't matter a person's background, race, gender, education, age or economics; they are valuable in the sight of God. Jesus rebuked the Pharisees when they used a disabled man's condition to trap Him into dishonoring the Sabbath. They baited Jesus to heal the man with the withered hand so they could condemn Him for healing on the Sabbath. Jesus reminds them that they would rescue one of their sheep that had fallen into a pit so, "How much more valuable is a man than a sheep!" Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath." (Matthew 12:12)
There is a common thread in every person that makes them worth much and valuable. God breathed into created man and he became a living soul, separating him from all other creatures. Man's soul consists of their will, affections and conscience. God created man with a remarkable soul that gave them the ability to understand and judge. Our bodies will decay and die but our souls have an eternal and immortal value.
God in His infinite wisdom, omnipotent power and divine goodness created man in His image…with a soul. By man's choosing, they rejected God and today man's soul is marred by sin. The Pharisees simply displayed their sinful soul and nature but Jesus reminded them God's mission isn't about saving a Sabbath but saving a man. Healing the withered man's hand was a means to reach his withered soul. As it has been said, "It cost the Lord a lot more to redeem you, than to create you in the first place." If you want to know how valuable and loved you are, don't look to the world, within or to the black market…look to a cross of love, hope and restoration!

The time to relax is when you don't have time for it. ~Attributed to both Jim Goodwin and Sydney J. Harris
This is an actual photograph taken on Sanibel Island Florida on Sunday!!....this is the exact spot where we intend on spending our time for the next few days!! Hubby decided that he had not had a REAL vacation yet since he had to work most of the last trip down here, so we packed up our swim suits, bought some steaks on sale, threw them in the cooler (the steaks, not suits) and jumped on the Auto Train and here we are!! Even the trip down here was an adventure!! The train engine had some issues, and we never really could get up to speed....finally they had to bring in another engine, and away we went....we didn't even get out of Virginia until bedtime!!
We arrived in Florida about noon on Saturday, by the time we got our car...we left around 1:00, stopped for lunch and got on Sanibel around 5:00....we went immediately to our favorite Restaurant to see one of our favorite waitresses..Lori, and she greeted us both with a big hug!! I think she was really surprised to see us!! Okay, so now the relaxation officially begins!! We didn't even go out on the beach, we just picked up some groceries, unpacked, took showers and kicked back!!
|Sanibel Sunset
I got up early yesterday (6:00) and took a look on the shore, there was nearly nothing out there....lots of small stuff, no 'twirls or whirls' just scallops, jewel boxes, kittens paws...but that's all fine....I just love the walk!
We brought our umbrella this time, since the supplies seem to be getting short at the condo, and setup early....and we went out there around 11:00 and stayed ALL DAY!! It was absolutely wonderful!! There was a cool breeze blowing off of the water that kept it so nice!!
I went out a couple of times and took a dip, and the water was crystal clear!! The lowest tide is in the evenings so we decided that since we would grill out, and mosey on down the beach that evening....! I took several pictures of the Sanibel birds...I could watch them forever!!!
|These guys enjoyed the beach too!
|This guy even stole a sip or two of someone's coke!!
We walked on out around 7:00 and begin walking toward the east, (I had gone west in the morning) besides, that's Junonia territory to the hubby since he got one near Sundial Resort a couple of years ago!....we looked up and saw a tidal pool that had formed....we headed over there with only an hour or so of daylight left and saw so many pretties!!! It's funny, you have to be in a hurry because it's getting dark, you want to cover more area, but you want to be thorough!! What a wonderful predicament to be in!!! We did quite well!! They are all very small....but I need small for this year's project!!
|Jess' favorite, pear whelks...and lightning whelks
|Sharks Eyes and Olives
|My Daddy's Favorite...Shark's eyes
|Sanibel turret, Florida Cone, Lace Murex
|Hubby found the 'birthplace' of a Horse Conch!!
How nice is that!! Pretty good for not having good shelling huh!? The shells were 'embedded' in the sand...we will definitely be going back this evening!! What fun it was....and so relaxing!! That's the theme this time....RELAXATION!!
I know all of you need some relaxation of your own, so I thought I would share....sit back, turn up the volume, turn off the lights, adjust your desk fan so it blows right in your face and enjoy!!! Come back as often as you like!! Don't forget to rinse the sand off your feet!!
More tomorrow!!

infrastructure and resources planned which avoided
crowding at any point, process explained and
distributed as a hand-out to the incoming students for
the ease of understanding the sequence and location of
the venues to be approached, all the areas viz.

, recreation room were sequenced and designed to be at
the single entrance floor so to avoid the students and
their guardians to run from pillar to post , continuous
availability of photocopy facility, refreshments and any
other requirement was ensured throughout the process.

Return to Spin
I overworked my left hamstring on the weight machines last Friday and it started to cause me some grief on Sunday after the swim. The rest of me was just whining.
So I didn't know if I would end up doing spin at lunch as I planned. Still, I brought all my clothes and the $1 needed for the class. And by the time lunch time rolled around I didn't feel so stiff anymore so I went ahead and bit the bullet.
It's been a couple of years since I've done a spin class. They now have a new dedicated spin room in our rec center with updated bikes - which is really good because most of the old bikes only had two settings: Flat Road and Mt. Everest.
I figured out how to set up the new bike for my height (I always have to raise a seat) but realized too late that the one I picked out didn't have a cup holder - won't make that mistake again. It also took about 20 minutes before I figured out the resistance settings I needed to use. There was a moment about 12-15 minutes in where I thought I might pass out. The rest of the class wasn't so bad and I really enjoyed it. The people in there were great and I liked the instructor. So spin is definitely on my rotation for my weekly workouts.
Heloise, however, would like to remind me to bring my bike shorts the next time I want to do spin. A little padding would have helped a great deal.

You'd think he'd know the place like the back of his hand, but nope!
Petr Cech spent 11 seasons with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, and for 10 of those he was the number goalkeeper at the club, and probably the Premier League.
And today he made his long-awaited return to the Bridge for the first time since moving across London to sign for Arsene Wenger's Arsenal over the summer.
With the Chelsea fans giving their former number one a great reception, Cech must have felt just like he was returning home, so surely he wouldn't get lost?
WRONG! Despite playing there hundreds of times, he somehow managed to go the wrong way when looking to enter the dressing room.
Thankfully he managed to figure it out before he left the stadium but we reckon he'll have wished he had got lost as Chelsea put two past the nine-man Gunners.
Not the return to west London that the Czech shot-stopper would have been hoping for, but there should be plenty of opportunities for him to put things right in the years to come.

No doubt that the most commented DDoS news of the week were related to the botnet that the BBC hired. In fact it was the staff of one of its programs called Click. The program's goal was to demonstrate how easy it is to hire a botnet to perform criminal activities. The botnet was used to send SPAM to a especially set account and to launch a DDoS attack to security company website's specifically set for this purpose. Although the ethics of the action has been critiqued, the fact is that they have demonstrated how easy and cheap it is to hire such services.
In other news, Jose Nazario of Arbor Networks in hiss presentation at SOURCE Boston commented about the new "trends" in cyber crime. Nazario said that cyber criminals are not just selling kits for running malicious software on unprotected computers. Now they sell services for script-kiddies and criminals who are just not good enough to use the malware by themselves. The audio of the presentation here.
The DDoS attack to the torrent site Mininova continued during this week. Here you can see some trends in traffic that the attacks have generated.

applications to less wrong left as an exercise for the reader, ayn rand, not like other ideologies, ozy blog post
I recently read The Ayn Rand Cult and it has given me various thoughts.
I think, to a certain degree, "cult" is a bad category: it combines two things that are more productively thought about when separated.
The first is abusive social groups. Abusive social groups are similar to abusive relationships: they are social groups that attempt to maintain complete power and control over their members' lives. The Ayn Rand Cult is full of descriptions of how Objectivism exercised unreasonable power over its adherents: disagreement with Rand was often met by a screaming fest or an excommunication; Rand would require people who were genuinely incompatible to date each other; there were objectively correct opinions about all matters of aesthetics from television to dance, and incorrect opinions were a sign of poor moral character; Objectivist therapists revealed private information, dated people they were providing therapy to, and sexually abused their patients using Objectivism as a flimsy justification.
The second is a group with a lot of new or unusual ideas.
Reading the Ayn Rand Cult was an interesting experience because I kept finding myself going "yes, so?" in response to ideas the author seemed to believe would horrify me. If you feel unattractive and can't get a date because you have a large nose, one ought to at least consider that the solution is a nose job. It is reasonable to expect your partner to respond positively when you say you want to fuck the next-door neighbor. Whom you're attracted to does seem to be related to your fundamental values, although certainly not all the time, and certainly not as directly as Objectivists as presented in this book seemed to believe. Consensually hitting your partner does make sex more enjoyable for many people, and asking people before kissing them seems much less awkward than just going for it in most cases. People should be more thoughtful about whether it's a good idea for them to have children. And artforms (including non-literature artforms) do seem to reflect a "sense of life" of the author, although it is perhaps a bit much to make moral conclusions about individuals based on what books they enjoy reading.
There is a certain amount of sense in being wary of new and unusual ideas. Most unusual ideas are bad ideas, simply because most ideas are bad ideas. If an idea is old and popular, it has been extensively tested and you know what the flaws of putting it into practice are. If an idea is new and strange, the tester is you.
A lot of Objectivism's ideas turned out somewhat poorly in practice. (I'm not talking here of the economic ideas– an Objectivist may, quite rightly, object that Objectivism's economic ideas have never been put into practice– but the ideas of how one lives one's life.) It turns out that the idea that all your actions should be compatible with your values leaves a lot of people guilt-ridden and constantly gazing at their navels about whether some twinge of altruism has possibly escaped their notice. It turns out that the idea that all emotions should be the product of one's rational beliefs leads to repression of emotions that don't go well with Objectivism and legitimation of destructive emotions that can be rationalized into an Objectivist framework.
On the other hand, if no one tries out new ideas, progress is never going to happen. Someone has to be the first person to try out everything from marriage for love to desensitization as a treatment for phobias. Some things can be studied using randomized controlled trials, but tragically we are not in a world where we can assign half the population to the Marriage For Love condition.
This observation does suggest one way of reducing the harm of new and unusual idea sets: if an idea can be tested through a randomized controlled trial, it should be (given a reasonable grace period to publicize the idea and get funding and so on). If an idea has not been tested through an randomized controlled trial, or the results were inconclusive, you should probably stay away from groups about how awesome it is and definitely not spend thousands of dollars on learning it. (I'm thinking here particularly of Dianetics, of course.)
Part of the problem Objectivism encountered, I think, is that it's a closed system. It's pretty easy to correct both of those problems through adding a little more nuance: "make all your actions compatible with your values and being guilty all the time is definitely not part of your values", "it is better to be honest about nonObjectivist emotions than to repress them." Since Rand's inner circle was also an abusive social group, there was no such process of self-correction.

Our bible study group met Sunday after church in DC to hand out bags to the guest at Central Union Mission. Please visit their website to learn more about the heart of this faith based homeless shelter. The mission has been serving this area since 1884 and was originally started to serve wayward men in the DC area. It has served servicemen and women, children and now is full-time homeless shelter with multiple locations in the area.
We went into the chapel and handed out the bags or I should say the children were the ones who handed out the bags. Everyone was nice and so thankful. Some of the men wanted to bless us with something it was so touching. We received just as much going there and serving as they did receiving the bags and prayer.
This itty bitty was the leader of the pack and was such a shining light.

As things stand I will not vote in favour of bombing Syria.
In the aftermath of the Paris attacks, when people are understandably outraged and frightened, politicians are saying " We must be seen to do something." It is a completely legitimate emotion to feel a strong desire to act now. The difficulty is that whatever actions we take must be truly effective, rather than just a gesture of solidarity with France. We have heard a lot of high rhetoric from Number 10- such as " now is the time to be more Churchill than Chamberlain."
But when I went to listen to Thursday's statement I was very disappointed since what we needed was answers to specific questions and what we learned instead is that there is no strategy for dealing with ISIL/ Daesh.
First of all it is not clear what a bombing campaign will achieve. There are already several forces bombing Raqqa with considerable power, so saying that bombing Raqqa will "cut the head off the snake" is to misunderstand the nature of the threat. Many ISIL/ Daesh terrorists are in territory controlled by other forces. It overlooks the fact also that most of the terrorists who threaten us in Europe are home grown, inspired by ISIL/ DAESH online propaganda. John Baron, a Conservative MP on the Foreign Affairs Select Committee, has said " we just don't need the deployment of more force."
Raqqa is also, we must never forget, a city of several thousand civilians who are trapped inside ISIL/ Daesh territory. Bombing will kill civilians, create more refugees, and it will destroy their houses, their roads and their schools. If MPs are to vote for a policy that risks all this collateral damage we need to have a clear reason why.
When it came to the strategy the Prime Minister agreed with me on Thursday that you cannot bomb a country into a Western-style democracy from 30,000 feet. He claimed that there were 70,000 " moderate Sunnis" ready to sweep ISIL/ Daesh from power and take over the territory.
Not many people believe this claim, including Julian Lewis Chair of the Defence Select Committee who asked " where are these magical 70,000 fighters". Reports suggest that these 70,000 troops are spread over many isolated pockets under rebel control, may be separated from ISIL/ Daesh by territory held by Assad Forces, and are clustered in the western end of the country, and in the squeezed Kurdish region, fighting Turkish insurgents as well as ISIL/ Daesh. They are, according to the Spectator, split into around 110 factions, some of which are being bombed by the Russians. Those who are members of the Free Syrian Army are fighting Assad, who has Russian support, and if they leave the territory they are currently holding to support the prime minister ( and no-one seems to have asked them if they would) they would lose their existing ground.
You can read my question and his answer here: http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201516/cmhansrd/cm151126/debtext/151126-0002.htm#151126-0002.htm_spnew16
We know from the failure of interventions in Iraq and Libya, both of which are now broken states with extremist insurgencies, that jihadis thrive in the power vacuum created in the wake of destructive bombing. There are many jihadi groups in the region who could might simply replace ISIL/ Daesh as a threat, such as the Islamic Army, The Army of Conquest, the Khorasan Group, the Al Nusra Front. Many of them are client organisations for other powers in the region. No wonder Crispin Blunt, Conservative head of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee, said the government was "without a coherent and long term plan" if it did not have a " political strategy" and clearly the Prime Minister does not have a credible one.
Most importantly of all, any action we take must make Syria a more stable place: not just for the sake of Syrians but for our sake too. There is no international agreement on what a post conflict Stria would look like, nor is there any plan for how to get there. If we get involved in this multi-party civil war it seems that we either have to make an unholy pact with the brutal Assad regime- which you may remember we were being asked to bomb two years ago- to align with our Russian Allies, or we have to back diverse third parties. As I have laid out here this war is made up of many players, with very different agendas. It is therefore imperative that we have an international agreement on peace and how to rebuild this once unique and extraordinary country.
I am not a pacifist but I am a pragmatist. We all want the same thing: for British people to be safe and to defeat ISIL/ Daesh. What we need is a comprehensive strategy that will work, or will have a good chance of working. To begin bombing without one is not facing up to the problem it is running away from the complex questions at hand. I couldn't vote with my conscience for action without these questions being answered.
The Prime minister has been urging us to get involved with military action in Syria for a long time. He previously wanted us to bomb Assad, now he wants to bomb the other side, this neatly encapsulates how vague and slapdash our strategy for the country is.
I believe instead that Britain's role in tacking ISIL/ Daesh should include taking an active part in negotiating an international response at the United Nations. That response should include tough action to cut off its finances and access to weapons. We should also challenge the ideology wherever it springs up. Lastly, if later it is necessary to take military action as part of an internationally coordinated strategy we should do so.
Cameron's renewed call for military action in Syria is a form of Groundhog Day; surely the lessons of both Iraq and Libya teach us that military action in without a post conflict plan leaves countries unstable, unsafe, and miserable, and ultimately breeding grounds for Jihadi extremists, who are the very people we are seeking to defend ourselves from.

tea. let's get some
Since I was so excited about National Iced Tea Day, I think it's only appropriate that I give equal attention to Free Tea Day at McAlister's.
It's hot and sunny - the perfect summer day for an ice cold glass. And even though we're not Southerners, the sweet tea is just as good here. I promise.

Back in 2000, I was hit by a car. The gruesome details were on a much earlier iteration of my blog. (I'm sure it's out there somewhere. Nothing disappears from the internet). Suffice to say it was not fun. Luckily nothing was broken but I was pretty banged up. My health insurance did not cover much more than a cane, so after limping along unevenly for a while, I developed scoliosis. My insurance company then provided me with only 10 physical therapy sessions, barely enough just to scratch the surface of my uneven body.
My physical therapist suggested yoga and pilates. The former was pretty much already embedded around NYC, but Pilates was still something just about to burst big time on the scene.
I scoped out a few yoga classes (easy enough to find) and let's just say it wasn't for me. It was incredibly unwelcoming, which was sort of surprising. If one is clearly a newbie, one needs to feel like that's not a bad thing.The instructors also really pushed me into positions which were obviously not going to happen if I was that uneven. That doesn't mean that there were no good and welcoming yoga places in NYC, but I was not feeling it. Years later, I saw this article and, of course, felt vindicated.
Pilates, perhaps because it was still relatively new to the non-dancer public, was much more welcoming. And while I've had a few not-so-great instructors, for the most part they've been pretty excellent. I will say there was one instructor, Jesse, who tried to have me banished after I asked about her tattoos (being fairly covered myself, it was sort of general question, not sexual), but she soon became my teacher for several years. See, no one is infallible. And it was Jesse who was there when my pelvis actually aligned for the first time in years. An awesome moment. And I am still going to Pilates to this day.
I should point out that I prefer the one-on-one sessions, rather than group. And I'm just as picky on my Pilates instructors as I am with my gym trainers. No exercising fools do I suffer!
I think the reason I also took better to Pilates is that it is a much more regimented set of exercises. It was developed by a boxer for the rehabilitation of wounded soldiers, so maybe that very concentrated sets on building your core appeals to me more than yoga's more....undefined...self. But I also have seen Pilates classes where the instructor is not paying attention to form and treating it more like "feel your body move this way". And I've seen yoga classes that seem more like boot camp.
It seems to have become an mashup of all exercise without too much accountability. Especially as Pilates has now fallen in with yoga as a "mind-body" form of exercise. This I find odd, as, to me, Pilates really is a purely physical endeavor.
And (here's where I'll get into some trouble), Pilates is often treated as a "women's exercise." And women tend to view exercise as a more social endeavor. There was a time when I did Pilates with only male clients in the room and all the instructors kept exclaiming how quiet it was. Because women clients do often see time with their instructors as more of a time to interact. I will say my current Pilates guy, Jeremy, and I never chat until after each session. The time of the session is kept to just the exercise.To me, it's the same as a workout with my gym trainer, just with different equipment and perhaps nicer decor.
But getting to my point: The reason I looked into both of these regimens was to help my alignment and balance, not as a workout regimen. They definitely help to get your muscles and body more aware, but it's not like one should expect six pack abs and mega biceps from either Pilates or yoga. Which is why it's odd the hear people doing "power pilates", "super abs yoga" and the like.
I'm not sure how people see this as the sole source of exercise and then get displeased when the results do not gibe with what we see in fitness/fashion magazines. One such study showed that young women and men who did yoga or Pilates still had the same amount of body image issues compared to those who did not participate. In fact, women who did yoga had a slightly higher incidence of body image issues. Not terribly surprising when the most popular manufacturer of designer yoga clothes and cultish devotion declines to sell anything larger than a size 12 and doesn't display anything larger than a size 8 in their stores. What sort of "total mind-body experience" are we trying to push, aside from body shaming.
And yet this move towards seeing them as hardcore exercising was continued this week in the NY Times. Which is better for strengthening? Even with these 2.0 versions, yoga and Pilates are two completely different forms of workout and, in my eyes, neither should be considered for overall bodywork strengthening.
I've now practiced Pilates longer than anyone I know who hasn't been involved in the dance world. While I am so much more aligned and have a better balance and more stable core, it did not change my body into Streamlined Ska Librarian. Rather, I think it prepared me to be ready to train, but to be very honest, my Pilates has gotten better because of my current years of weight training and cardio.
Pilates made me the Aligned Yet Retro Ska Librarian and for that I'm thankful. But it is not yoga, nor is it cardio.
To put in Ska Librarian Logic:
Pilates ≠ Weight Training ≠ Yoga
And in diversity there is strength.
