I've been writing these lessons down for myself mostly because I have a horrible memory, but also because I wanted to be able to look back someday on my time here & remember how far God has brought me - not just physically in the distance from home to here, but in my relationship with Him and in becoming the woman He's created me to be.
A few weeks ago as I was thinking of all of these lessons I've already learned, God spoke to me & basically said to me (my paraphrase), "These lessons aren't just for you to learn. Yes, I'm giving them to you to learn & to grow from, but I want you to pass these on so that others can learn from them & grow."
Here's how the conversation followed (again, my paraphrase):
Me: (per usual when God wants me to do something out of my comfort zone) "Really?!? I can't do that."
God: "No, you can't; but I can & I'll help you. (per His usual :) )
Me: "Well, how am I supposed to share these lessons? I can't talk to everyone! And besides, You know how much I love talking (sarcasm)."
God: "Remember that thing called your blog? Write them there."
Me: "Well, no one will want to read them."
God: "Let them decide that. You just put it out there."
So, here's me putting it out there. From now on, when I've learned something that I think God wants me to share with others, it will show up here. (A lot of what I'm learning has been really personal, so it may or may not show up on here.)
I'm not very good with putting big, fancy words together & making it into some eloquent statement that makes sense like a lot of blogs I read. I'm not going to start trying that now. I'm just going to be real, to be me, & to try to make what I'm learning make sense to others as I put it out there. (I was going to write "put it down on paper", but this clearly isn't paper & I don't know what this is called. :) )
I think one of the reasons God brought me here was time - to give me more time & to learn how to better spend the time I'm given. Because of having more time, I've spent more time in His word, more time to talking to Him, & more time studying and reading some other helpful books. So, I've learned these lessons in different ways - books I've read, Bible studies & devotionals I've done, & from God in time spent with Him.
Here are a couple lessons I've already learned & re-learned (I'm not perfect, I tend to need to learn something a few times for it to stick):
* Shortly after I got here, I finished a book that I'd started at home called "Captivating" by John & Stasi Eldredge. (It was REALLY good!) When I picked it up to finish reading it, the first thing I read jumped out at me. It said "He (God) often takes us aside from every other source of comfort so that He alone can have our heart's attention." He had definitely taken me aside from every comfort source & now definitely had my attention! This is when I really knew that I would be learning A LOT of lessons.
* God is big & mighty & everywhere! This is what you learn in Sunday School & hear repeatedly growing up in the church, but in coming here, I now know it. This truth, God being everywhere, is His omnipresence. (This may be the only big word you ever read on my blog, it just means "present in all places at all times", and yes, I did have to google it to find the definition to describe it to you. :) ) Knowing that God is omnipresent has given me a lot of peace & comfort. There are so many ways I've learned this truth here. I know that when tough things are going on at home that I wish I could be there for, God is there. He can do so much more in that situation than I would ever be able to if I were there. And just because He's there, or here, doesn't mean He's in the other place less. As much as I've needed Him here, He's been there that much for everyone back home. This is probably turning into rambling because it's such a hard thing for me to wrap my mind around, but I know it is true & amazing!
So, there's just a couple lessons to start with. I already have two more lessons learned that God has put on my heart to write here, but you'll have to wait for those. :)
I'm looking forward to what God will teach us & where He will lead us if we let Him!

It Takes a Village
We can either approach a natural-born emergency as individuals or as a community.
There's something redundant, inherently inefficient, when we all plan to meet a disaster wielding the same tools.
Some of us should be charged with stockpiling batteries, lanterns, generator, a pantry full of canned goods, water, and closets filled with extra blankies.
Then some of us should have a car full of gas, a case of wine in the trunk, and a list of addresses where we can find the aforementioned stockpile.
This can only work with true foresight, effort, and sensitivity. Remember: Not everyone likes Chardonnay.

so important to keep wine at the ready.ReplyDelete
once i went on "vacation" in a dry county.
you don't appreciate normal civilisation until you spend a night in a dry county.
In the Northridge earthquake, my neighborhood came together... On our block (in Santa Clarita) we had an electrician, fireman, plumbing contractor (my hubby)... another w/a backup generator who also had an extra fridge... he was so kind as to let neighbors bring their perishables... We came together like u wouldn't believe... Each showed their craft in what they do daily. I so agree w/you on this ..ReplyDelete
sidebar: the neighbors even watched other neighbors' kids as well... one big co-op on our cul-de-sac.ReplyDelete
Haha, you guys were too quick on the draw. Now it's ready. (Amy, so true. And Kalei, I want to live on your block.)ReplyDelete
Excellent point! And please do make sure you have Chenin Blanc or Pinot Grigio on hand if I'm caught in a storm in 'dena country.ReplyDelete
Whatever Chardonnay is left over, ship my way please. I'm not picky because I live in a "dry county" like Amy visited. She's right. It's downright uncivilized.ReplyDelete
Wine? fluck wine. I want to know who has the good drugs and who keeps the hard liquor. Your way to civilized in the denasReplyDelete
We'll stockpile the Jameson's and a bit of wine...perhaps that's enticement for a northerly excursion???ReplyDelete
What kinds of wine and booze was SCE giving out at their help centers?ReplyDelete
Very thoughtful post. (And true, not everyone likes Chardonnay. Some folks might need a stiffer drink under these circumstances :-))ReplyDelete
Shhhh. If things get really dicey, I keep a bottle of real Norwegian aquavit for my closest friends.ReplyDelete
Linie akvavit, for those who know the real thing.ReplyDelete
Brilliantly succinct.ReplyDelete
Please let me be in charge of the Manhattans. Wait, wait--I dint know bout the acquavitReplyDelete

It tastes good to the Christmas Eve dinner (Ribbe og surkål).
Bonjour! Thank you for stopping by my blog today and leaving a comment. I see that you are already thinking about cocktail parties in spite of this week's "natural disaster." I am with you on always having wine at hand (well, and other supplies too, but they are kind of boring.) We get these "natural disasters" here too, in the Pacific Northwest. My parents' last two trips to Seattle's suburbia (where I live): First we lose power and heat for 4 days - in December - The following year, we get snowed in for 4 days. They live in Paris. France and have not been back yet ;-) -- Hope things get back on track for you quickly. Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)ReplyDelete

I know which team I'll be playing on.ReplyDelete
I'll drink the Chard, if need be in the winter, but for summer outages, I'd prefer a Pinot Grigio or even Sauv Blanc. Of course, winter outages could manage a deep Merlot or a Viognier.ReplyDelete
But Jameson or Glenlivet would be a nice choice for something harder.
Aquavit...the potato variety would fit in nicely too. Don't think I've tasted it---anything like Slivovitz?
Oh and next time, call me. I have a stockpile of batteries, lanterns and other supplies AND the Glenlivet. Yes, I was a Girl Scout for years. You can thank me later. ;-)
When it snows here, the city of B'ham SHUTS DOWN. Too many hills and nobody even knows what tire chains are. Most folks head to the Piggly Wiggly and hoard milk and bread. Moi....I head to the liquor store and hoard bourbon. It all works out.ReplyDelete
It Takes a Vintage.ReplyDelete
I'm trying to get my dudes to install generators. 3 generators. They're balking. So I keep bottled water and lots of food and candles.ReplyDelete
And we have to worry about freezing here, which is not a problem you face! Trust me. Frozen pipes are less than no fun.
Prior to last year's storm of the century, I hit it up to all the stores to stock the larder, preparing to do nothing for the entire weekend. All went well 'til I got to the discount liquour store - they had policemen directing traffic in the parking areas. Prioritization . . .ReplyDelete
That was one of the more interesting things I've read today.ReplyDelete
Diversification is key. Having limes on hand in case someone remembers the tequila might be important as well.
So far we've got 24 people driving around in cars full of cocktails with no place to go. We need a destination -- a warm, well lighted house, full of blankets, food, and batteries. This may be harder than I thought.ReplyDelete
24 people clear on priorities--ReplyDelete
Personally, I would like to lay claim to the job of panicking. I will do a bang up job!ReplyDelete

Very thoughtful words, KB. I know who I'm gonna call in a natural born killer emergency. However, can I trust you with stockpiling some macarons for me?ReplyDelete
Since I live in a neighborhood of churches and theological institutes, I doubt that my neighbors will be as well-stocked with necessities (especially liquor) as will be necessary after the big one on the Hayward Fault (which is a block away), so I better get my own earthquake kit together. If I get a big box of chocolate energy bars, hit the liquor store, then scout the neighborhood for lime trees I should be able to survive on my own for a while. Or else I'll drive South as it sounds like most of you are well-stocked with the good stuff!ReplyDelete
Anyone with a car full of cocktails is welcome to come right on over to Chez Tommy. Julio the electrician is coming over in the morning, and I'm going to ask him about a generator. I'll stock up on batteries and blankets. The 4 furry inhabitants will provide added warmth to willing laps.ReplyDelete
Well...with all those supplies Hiker, you're all welcome to come on up here and set up camp!!! With all those bodies and booze up here, we ought to stay plenty warm!!!ReplyDelete
As Mary Chapin Carpenter wrote of Louisiana, "Hurricane parties every time it blows!"ReplyDelete
This is quite a menu: A couple of cookies, a pack of energy bars, limes, and enough liquor to stock BevMo.ReplyDelete
Who's the designated driver?
I will NOT drink your lousy stinking chardonnay under any circumstance.ReplyDelete
you'd be welcome up here, but it's quite a drive---might take more than 2 carloads of liquor to get up here...and then you'd run me out of Glenlivet AND batteries! Wait, that sounds wrong. Anyway, hit up Chieftess---am sure the Chief has access to supplies or generator or, you know, warm stuff.ReplyDelete

My emergency plan has always been to live close enough so I can walk (within a day) to my parents . . . they have the generator, pantry, blankets, etc. I can carry some wine as a peace offering.ReplyDelete

Today I read an interesting article that elicited a healthy laugh from yours truly. It seems that an Irvine, CA inventor came up with a led adorned, radio controlled, reinforced foam flying toy that had local residents crying "Alien Abduction":
Zingali, 58, was searching for help with his radio-controlled plane. Instead he found hand-drawn plans by a poster named Stringfly for something called a saucer.
"I was told – by engineers – it wouldn't fly," says Zingali, a former facilities specialist who recently moved to Phoenix. "There was no airfoil, no lift, no dihedral."
He built one anyway. It flew, but couldn't handle the wind. So he tweaked a few things and doubled its span from 18 to 36 inches. A phenomenon was born. Soon, Orange County motorists were chasing strange lights in the sky. Orange County's Mutual UFO Network was taking calls about erratic, flying objects. And the Web site UFOinfo.com was posting reports of "glowing orbs" in south Orange County.
One 53-year-old man reported a large glowing ball that "appeared to drip fire." It traveled about five miles in a few seconds, he said, and left an "acrid type odor" in the air. – [OCRegister.com]
OK. Lets review. What we have here is a 3foot foam toy with leds on it and a top speed of 40mph that, from observers reports, is bigger than a house, produces an acrid smell, (somehow detectable from its cruising altitude of 400ft), travels at 3600 miles an hour, and drips fire…
Amazing how our senses/perceptions can deceive us. Absolutely amazing…

Day one of stem cell collection is going great. I just got the news that I'll most likely collect the 12-15 million today. Someone will call me this afternoon with the numbers, but according to their calculations, it might be a one-day affair. Will keep collecting until 1 today. I will also have to be back tomorrow for labs, but this part could end quickly.
Emory has awesome nurses and doctors, but their cooks leave a little to be desired. I may need food smuggled in when I get admitted in May. Otherwise, I'll lose weight dramatically.
I'm very thankful if this can be completed today. Sometimes, it's the little things in life that make the most impact at just the right time.
Find something to be thankful for. It shouldn't take long or be that hard. First off, you woke up. You have a home, family and friends. There's always something there, you just have to see it.

How to form a company, how to negotiate a real estate deal, is it legal?

JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., PLAINTIFF,v.THE IDW GROUP, LLC, DEFENDANT.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Paul G. Gardephe, U.S.D.J.
Before this Court is the parties' May 7, 2009 joint letter, in which Plaintiff JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPMorgan") requests: (1) an extension of the May 4 discovery deadline until May 19, 2009 for the limited purpose of taking the deposition of Darcy Zulpo, Director of Global Recruiting for Citadel Investment Group, LLC ("Citadel"); and (2) leave to serve a subpoena upon Zulpo by (a) sending a copy of a subpoena to Zulpo's place of business and residence by certified mail; (b) leaving a copy at Zulpo's residence and place of business with a person of suitable age and discretion; and (c) remitting a copy by electronic mail and certified mail to counsel for Citadel. Defendant The IDW Group, LLC ("IDW") objects to both requests.
For the reasons set forth below, JPMorgan's requests are GRANTED.
In seeking this extension of the discovery deadline, JPMorgan submits that, "the fact that Ms. Zulpo may possess information in support of JPMorgan's case did not become apparent until the testimony of Ms. Weinstein, on March 13, 2009, and did not fully ripen until JPMorgan deposed IDW's other recruiters, most recently on April 15, 2009, who, in large part claimed ignorance on these matters." (May 7, 2009 Letter, at 2) Noting that this Court previously extended the discovery deadline until May 19, 2009 to allow for two other nonparty depositions, JPMorgan argues that granting this request will have "no impact on the current May 19 deadline." (Id. at 1) In seeking leave to serve a subpoena by substitute means, JPMorgan states that its process server made unsuccessful attempts to personally serve Zulpo at her residence or place of business "on at least the following days: April 16, 17, 18 (twice), 20, 21 (twice), 23, and 26." (Id.) JPMorgan argues that substitute service would be "appropriate in light of the established inability to personally serve Ms. Zulpo", "would be calculated to provide Ms. Zulpo actual notice of the subpoena", and that Zulpo, "through her employer's counsel, is already well aware of the fact that JPMorgan seeks to depose her." (Id. at 3)
IDW argues against an extension on the grounds that: (1) JPMorgan waited until April 15, 2009 to notice Zulpo's deposition, despite having "knowledge of Zulpo's relevance to this action as early as December 2008, and certainly as of early March 2009"; (2) JPMorgan "has not explained why it was unable to ascertain Zulpo's potential relevance until the middle of April"; (3) allowing JPMorgan to take additional depositions beyond May 4 "will prejudice IDW's ability to file a complete summary judgment motion" by the June 1, 2009 deadline; and (4) granting the request will require IDW's counsel to make another trip to Chicago to attend Zulpo's deposition, thereby increasing IDW's litigation expenses. (Id. at 4--5) IDW also argues that JPMorgan's request for substitute should be denied because the majority of courts require personal service of a subpoena duces tecum and that "JPMorgan's dilatory tactics should not be rewarded by a decision rejecting the majority rule." (Id. at 5--6)
Rule 26(b)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure requires courts to limit the extent of discovery if:
(i) the discovery sought is unreasonably cumulative or duplicative, or can be obtained from some other source that is more convenient, less burdensome, or less expensive;
(ii) the party seeking discovery has had ample opportunity to obtain the information by discovery in the action; or
(iii) the burden or expense of the proposed discovery outweighs its likely benefit, considering the needs of the case, the amount in controversy, the parties' resources, the importance of the issues at stake in the action, and the importance of the discovery in resolving the issues.
Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b)(2)(C). Here, IDW has not demonstrated that the discovery sought is unreasonably cumulative or duplicative or that JPMorgan has had ample opportunity to obtain this information by other means. Nor has IDW shown that the burden or expense to IDW outweighs the likely benefit to JPMorgan of granting permission to take Zulpo's deposition by May 19 -- particularly given that the parties have until May 19 to conduct the deposition of Derek Kaufman, another nonparty witness.
Weighing the minimal prejudice to IDW against the liberal policy favoring discovery that "is relevant to any party's claim or defense", Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b)(1), this Court concludes that good cause exists for allowing JPMorgan until May 19 to take Zulpo's deposition. Accordingly, this Court grants JPMorgan's request to ...

Jaw-Dropping Holiday Fun—"A Cirque Christmas"—Stunning Fusion of Cirque Acts Synched to Beloved Holiday Music and Classical's Finest Masterpieces
Pacific Symphony Pops takes the holiday season to startling new heights when the orchestra is joined by "Cirque de la Symphonie" for "A Cirque Christmas." Holiday and Classical favorites soar along with aerial fliers, acrobats, contortionists, dancers, jugglers and strongmen, as they perform death- and gravity-defying Cirque feats, live on stage and backed by the magical music styling of Pacific Symphony. Led by Principal Pops Conductor Richard Kaufman, this spectacular merger of two art forms mesmerizes Symphony audiences of all ages for a fourth time, as the internationally recognized and award-winning artists of "Cirque de la Symphonie" take to the air and push themselves to extremes.
"It's sure to be an evening of great fun when Pacific Symphony accompanies performers of 'Cirque de la Symphonie' (in the tradition of Cirque de Soleil), to create a unique experience for all ages," says Maestro Kaufman. "I've always loved leading concerts that combine music and movement on stage. And I always enjoy conducting for the remarkable performers of 'Cirque de la Symphonie.' The orchestra will perform some of the most popular music in the classical and holiday repertoire, so the audience is in for quite a time—both audibly and visually. It's the type of show in which everyone will use all their senses, and will come away with a feeling that they've experienced something very special!"
Kaufman leads the orchestra through stirring repertoire that includes Handel's "Joy to the World," Schubert's "Ave Maria," Leroy Anderson's "Sleigh Ride," Respighi's "Tarantella" from "The Magic Toy Shop," Waldteufel's "The Skater's Waltz," Silvestri's Suite from "The Polar Express," Robert Wendel's "Little Bolero Boy," Ellington and Strayhorn's selections from "Nutcracker Suite," de Abreu's "Tico-Tico no Fuba," Delvyn Case's "Rocket Sleigh," Elfman's End Title from "The Nightmare Before Christmas," plus these classical favorites: Rimsky-Korsakov's "Dance of the Tumblers" from "The Snow Maiden," Tchaikovsky's "Russian Dance and "Waltz of the Flowers" from "The Nutcracker."
"A Cirque Christmas" takes place Friday and Saturday, Dec. 18-19, at 8 p.m. in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. Beginning at 7 p.m., members of the Foothill High School Dickens Carolers provide pre-concert lobby entertainment. Tickets for this performance are $35-$165. For more information or to purchase tickets call (714) 755-5799 or Click Here.
"One doesn't usually hear gasps, oohs and aahs from a symphony orchestra audience, but then one doesn't usually see a woman dangling by her feet from a hoop that swings high above the lip of the stage as an orchestra plays," said Elaine Schmidt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "The aerial acts are breathtaking, with performers working high above the stage without nets or wires. The tumbling, juggling and strong man acts, which take place on the stage in front of the orchestra, are equally gripping and polished."

too good not to share
My friend Tanya at Bead and Needle is having a beautiful giveaway.
In Honor of Breast Awareness Month, Tanya has created an awesome necklace.
To enter, all she is asking for is a follow and a comment.. That's it! So simple!
Run over there now and enter! Good Luck!
Also, many of you know the fabulous Z at Old Grey Mare Primitives. Her daughter is a film student at NYU. She is making a film and has set up a fund raising website. I am telling you, this girl is not only beautiful inside and out, but VERY talented. (just like her mom!) If you have a dollar or two (or more), you can help fund this film. College is expensive enough, but with added expense of having to fund their own films in order to graduate,it can get expensive for a student! Check out her website. http://ww.indiegogo.com/leftovers
Z or her daughter did not ask me to do this, I just think we need to support each other in anyway we can. If you can't donate, just give her daughter some encouragement and support! When she is a famous director, we can say we knew her when!
If you are in the central Texas area this weekend. Go to the Hico Homestead Antique Show. Hico is about 1 hour SW of Fort Worth. I am not going to be a vendor there this time, but I will be shopping!
Check it out here: Homestead Antique show
I had a wonderful time with my family. The time went by too fast! We got to talk, shop, take walks and enjoy each other company. The house is quiet now and I miss them..
I am done rambling now...I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

My Family is coming!
photo from ancestry.com (not my family, but love this picture!)
My family is coming to visit me tomorrow! My mom and dad from Asheville NC. My sister Kim and brother-in-law Dan from Golden, CO. My brother, Glenn from Atlanta GA will all be here to celebrate my mom's birthday on October 5th.
I am so excited!!! We haven't all been together since Kim and Dan's wedding a couple of years ago. We are a noisy family when we all get together.. Lots of laughter, good conversations (and a few political debates!). We are planning on sitting on the front porch swings, taking walks, riding out in the pasture on the tailgate, cooking out and just enjoying each other company.
I am very blessed to have a fun, healthy, loving family!
See you next week! Have a great week!
(PS The auction for my facebook friend Amy raised over $3000.00 to offset medical cost. Her father in law and son were seriously hurt in a car accident. It is so heartwarming when people get together to help each other...I AM blessed to be a part of such generous, loving group of bloggers and facebook friends!)

President Benigno S. Aquino III planted a Narra sapling at the Heroes Park of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources to formally launch the National Greening Program of the government.
In his speech, President Aquino highlighted the importance of the NGP in terms of reducing poverty, environment rehabilitation and biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation, and promoting food security. As mandated by Executive Order 26, which the President has issued on February 24, 2011, the NGP targets to plant 1.5 billion trees in about 1.5 million hectares of public lands from 2011 to 2016. It also seeks to consolidate all greening initiatives of the national line agencies, local government units, civil society and private sector.
The President also led the launching of the NGP website (www.ngp.denr.gov.ph) and the recognition of six environmental heroes who died in the line of duty while protecting the country's environment and natural resources. The posthumous awards were given to Kennedy Eber Bayani, Rolando Sinday, Jacinto Dragas, Pierre Gillo, Nelson Luna and Christopher Mazo.

Writing and Design in Communication
Traditionally, for me, writing has been just that, to satisfy the limitations imposed by a certain assignment that was given to me by a professor. With those limitations, I have been held back in my artistic abilities to be able to design a more effective paper in communicating my arguments with supporting points. With that said, writing should not be as restrictive. I now understand that the ability to communicate effectively requires the ability to design an effective paper or other form of communication to get my point across. Granted, I can write with limitations, and write well, but that does not allow for effective communication to a wider audience. By hampering design in writing and other forms of communication, you limit the imagination of the communicator, therefore, only allowing for a single person audience. Effective written communication takes on a whole new form when the author is allowed to express their artistic side through their writing. The audience becomes broad, not limited, hence the ability to reach the hearts and minds of many, not a singular being. I also understand that the beginnings of communication, I have to be able to come up with a problem before I can provide a solution. If the problem is given before hand, this limitation hampers the artistic ability of an effective communicator.

Evaluating A Poor Racing Performance
Were you physically ready to race? How was your preparation? Did you follow a training plan all the way through to the racing season or are you one of those people who train and race pretty much all year? If you do,let me give what I believe is a biblical reference,"you reap what you sow." It a crapshoot performance wise when you combine training with a regular racing schedule.
How were your performance expectations? Were they realistic? Were they in line with how your training appeared to be going? How did they(expectations) match up with past performances? Did you really do as bad as you thought you did? Serious runners have a tendency to be hyper-critical of everything relating to how they finished a race(where they placed, the time,how they felt,etc.).
How had your training been going,any prior indication that you might not do as well as you hoped? Think time trials and pace work for starters.
Was this the first race of your season? If it was,the fact that it is your first race is reason enough not to be too hard on yourself, more races will be coming.
Did you rest enough prior to the race? This is perhaps one of the most forgotten reasons for a poor race. I have known so many guys who won't back off on their training before a race. Let me get this right,you've been training for months but think if you go easy the week of the race you will perform poorly? Admit it,your pre-race anxiety is preventing you from getting the rest you need. Speaking of anxiety,did you go out too fast at the start,or as Percy used to say, did you take off "like a frightened hare"? If you've been around for awhile,why are you still doing that?
Did you finish too fast or have too much left? If you did, take note of that and make the necessary adjustments.
At what point in the race do you believe you let down and the opportunity to race well was lost? For instance,some runners know that in the 2nd mile of a 5k they have to really think about keeping on pace or their overall time will not be what it should be. It's important to be aware and thinking throughout your race,no matter how bad you might feel.
Finally---what are you going to do and what are you going to change to get the kind of results you desire?It's important that a runner considers such things if he wants to achieve the success he trains so hard for. Recall Cerutty's words,"the ideal athlete is a thinking athlete." Although I am not a devotee,there is wisdom in the words of Sri Chinmoy when he said, "Think and Become." In our quest for success, we must think about what we have done, as well as what we are doing.

Humble apologies for the weird structuring and layout of today's post with sentences starting in the wrong places etc. Originally I posted the article and then found that 1/3 of it was gone after I went back and viewed the page. I had to then recollect as best I could the part that was lost and write it over. Blogger has recently changed it's posting format and maybe there are some problems on their end.ReplyDelete

No problem, Dave. I was able to understand your message loud and clear. We all have been in the situation where we hesitate to back off and rest before a race. Sometimes it works but most of the time fatigue and poor performance is the result. Before big races where expectations are high, I cut my miles and workouts by at least 50%. Bloomsday in Spokane, Wa. is one of those events where most runners in the region want a good peak performance. Our big community race, 12K, is set for Sunday, May 6th.ReplyDelete
Thanks for your insight....
Bloomsday? Wow! That race has been a great one for decades. Don Kardong was the founder of it I believe.ReplyDelete
Good Luck!
- AnonymousApril 30, 2012 at 9:08 PM
Don and I run long together every Sunday.... Yes he is the founder and still going strong. He plans to direct the race for several more years. Our race is this next Sunday so your latest post about resting after races and rebuilding is pertinent. I'm weak in that area. Seems if I back off too much I run flat. Too much work before the race and the same problems occurs.... The right balance is always a challenge.ReplyDelete
Run well,

The headline above is from the Open Economics blog run by current and former students at Notre Dame. The post is based on a widely reported story that:
[T]here is no state in the country where a 40-hour minimum-wage worker can affordably rent a two-bedroom apartment (at fair market rent).
So no, as their headline makes clear, the minimum wage isn't a living wage.
…And yet millions of Americans are simultaneously making minimum wage and not dying. To me, that's pretty good evidence that minimum wage is a living wage. That was test one: the sniff test. Test two is the common sense test. It asks this question: why would a single occupant rent a two-bedroom apartment? Sure, I can think of some reasons, but they are extraordinary. Shouldn't the comparison be whether an individual making minimum wage can afford a one-bedroom apartment if they worked a 40-hour work week? Or even a studio? Two bedrooms seems arbitrary. We may as well say, "An individual making minimum wage can only afford three steak dinners a year." Ok, and?
The third test is the matching test. Or in this case mismatching. Why are we matching the country's lowest wage earners (on the income side) with the country's average apartment prices (on the expense side). Apartments cost what they do precisely because there is a particular distribution of demand for housing that is a product of the wage distribution combined with personal tastes. If we, say, doubled the wages of everyone below some nominal level do we really expect that apartment prices will be unaffected? That flies in the face of the economic way of thinking. If we are concerned about low income earners lets compare their wages to low-income rents, not to the median rent.
Let's examine Alabama, for instance. Alabama has no state wage and is thus governed by the federal minimum wage of $7.25. This leads to a yearly income of $15,080 for a 40-hour workweek. Less if you account for taxes and time off. The per capita income in Alabama, however, is $33,945 (which I am assuming is also for a 40-hour week). If you are suspicious of per capita numbers, maybe you prefer the median income of a 2-person family (the Census does not keep records for 1-person "families"), which is $52,287. If we divide that evenly we get roughly $26,000 per person. Another site lists $40,287 as the average salary in Alabama. Any way you slice it, you get a pretty wide spread between the average income in Alabama and what the lowest income earners make. We should compare housing options accordingly.
Lastly, we need to ask ourselves if those making the minimum wage are even looking for housing? Wages tend to increase with experience so we would expect the youngest and least experienced employees to be those making the minimum. Let's stick with our Alabama example. In that state teenagers are legally able to work when they are 14. Even assuming that at 18 every one of them moves out, that gives a window of four years where an individual might be making the minimum wage and have no desire at all for independent living, much less a two-bedroom apartment. This fact artificially inflates the problem because it assumes that there are large numbers of minimum wage workers nationwide that can't afford housing, when, in fact, a non-trivial portion of these workers are teenagers or young adults living at home.
Living off of the minimum wage, by American standards of living, is often not a fun nor an easy life. But if we are going to discuss the plight of the poor let's be realistic about what challenges and difficulties they encounter and not simply use bad statistics to point out that there is an arbitrary level of material comfort that they cannot afford.

Bikram yoga is regarded as suitable for beginners seeking optimum health or weight loss/managmentl. This intense form of yoga includes 26 sequential postures and 2 breathing exercises for ultimate mind-body unity and relaxation.

I forgot to mention that just venting my frustration about yesterday's cry made me feel so much better! Thank you all for listening, or reading, or whatever. Anyway, I am glad that today was better. I spent the day with the kiddos at the in-laws. Before that, I did 3.2 miles on the Walk It Out. That was really hard, but lots of fun.
We are expecting a blizzard tonight, and I have to drive 49 miles to work in the morning. I am not sure how to handle that. I guess I could call my boss and find out, if I can find her number. I can't find her number, so I emailed someone else. She should be able to get back to me by the time I'm supposed to leave in the morning.
Eating was really good today. For dinner tonight, we had navy beans that had been cooked with onions, mixed with peppers, tomatoes and purple potatoes. For lunch I had the veggies off of my kids pizza, my father-in-law had the cheese, and the kids ate the pepperoni and the crust. For breakfast, I had an avocado in a basil tomato wrap. I am really tired, probably anticipating the long drive in the morning.

What About an Online Portfolio?
As a graduate student, you are investing a great deal of time and effort, not to mention financial resources, in earning a master's degree. But have you thought about how you will showcase what you have achieved? Most people who pursue graduate study have definite personal goals: personal enrichment, career enhancement, promotion, etc. Finding a way to let others know what you have done should not be neglected.
Some are beginning to construct e-portfolios of their work and experience and post them online. Often, they create their own website to display their portfolio. Many have found such an approach useful as a way to enhance employment applications or to become noticed for promotion. Such an approach can also bring the satisfaction of networking with others who share their interests.
If you would like to explore creating an online portfolio, take a look at an article by David Brooks, "Should Graduate Students Create E-Portfolios?" One of the comments to this article points to a company, Interfolio, that hosts graduate student portfolios and provides tools for creating and managing them.
What do you think? Is this for you?
Digital Tools for Research Management
With the vast array of digital sources of scholarly information—online databases, digital journals, electronic library sources, online articles, blog posts, etc.—you can easily lose track of what you have collected. And finding specific pieces of information and then being able to cite the source properly can add many non-productive hours to your research and writing. What to do? Read More…
New Grading Scale for Graduate Studies
Effective Spring 2012, the Trinity College Graduate Studies grading scale officially changed. We made this change in order to bring our grading scale into closer conformity with the undergraduate grading scale and with grading scales typical of other graduate programs. In addition, it is necessary to conform to Federal reporting requirements for student aid and other purposes.
This change is effective going forward; it is not retroactive. This means that students enrolled in courses through the Fall Term 2011 and who complete additional courses after that date will have "mixed" transcripts. That is, their transcripts will continue to reflect the former grading scale for all courses completed through Fall 2011; courses completed thereafter will reflect the new grading scale. Since no numerical value was assigned under the former grading scale, no grade point average (GPA), cumulative or otherwise, can be generated for those courses Cumulative GPAs will be generated for the new grades only. An explanation of both grading scales and the change will appear on the key of all official transcripts.
Students who begin graduate study with the Spring Term 2012 will receive grades under the new grading scale only.
For a complete explanation of the new scale, please visit the Academic Regulations page on the Graduate Studies website.
Anne Teschner (M.A. 2006) Accepts Award at White House
Anne Teschner (M.A., American Studies at Trinity College) accepted a National Arts and Humanities Youth Program award at the White House on November 2, 2011. Anne accepted the award on behalf of the Care Center in Holyoke, MA, where she serves as Executive Director.
The Care Center was recognized for its extensive work in providing educational and support services for pregnant and parenting teens. Working with area colleges, the Center helps teenage mothers complete high school and move on to college. The Center was one of 12 winners out of 500 nominations for this year's award.
"We have seen over the years that, when young people are provided with an academically rich and engaging environment that includes the arts and humanities and provided with the support they need to focus and study, they will flourish," Ann remarked. "This award puts us more centrally in the nationally discussion about the power of quality education and the effective approach to poverty."
Anne observed that her time at Trinity was useful to her work today. "I had a great experience as a graduate student at Trinity," she added. "My work there has definitively informed my work at The Care Center."
The award ceremony at the White House can be viewed in its entirety here: National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Awards, November 2, 2011. The presentation of the award to Anne Teschner occurs at about 19:45 – 20:28 in the video.

Pharmacology, although not necessarily admitting to any marriage with alchemy, has as its mission to find the "magic" medications to assist lengthen existence and recover sickness in Substantially the exact same way alchemy operated 100s of years in the past.
It represents the changeover time among the depths of Wintertime and the beginning of spring, when snow turns to rain, along with the streams and rivers begin to run all over again. It's the final check in the zodiac 12 month period. It might also have the significance of the start of some thing new.
The soul is likely to make attempt after try and train the brain. The mind can't comprehend spirit because it can't be stated via the senses.
Irrespective of well-liked misunderstandings a few gold-earning pseudo-science, Hermetic inner alchemy comprises the best and many secret techniques of each the Hermetic and Rosicrucian traditions. Hermetic interior alchemy is In fact a technique that takes advantage of the refined fires on the human entire body, together with enjoy and sexuality, as potent equipment for spiritual growth by transmuting the matter with the Bodily body into at any time purer plus much more refined forms of energy.
(Just before Bacon, there was some exploration of alchemical idea and concepts, but no actual practitioners.) He was generally thinking about the elixir of lifestyle and many method of ingestible gold which might prolong existence. Bacon's writings on alchemy have been employed by a number of other practitioners nicely into the 19th century.
This knowledge to start with distribute to Japan after which farther and farther away, until the Europeans ended up using gun podwer from the 14th century. If this was an alchemical creation, it absolutely was very likely not the aim, since Chinese alchemy was regularly about medicine, prolonging life, and generating both equally interior and exterior balance.
Overlook "elites" and recognize the correct Elite. It is actually fashioned of individuals who have now gone outside of Nature. To be with the Elite will be to want to offer and in order to give; it can be to know how to draw to the inexhaustible supply and to offer this foodstuff to those who are hungry and thirsty in the form which can be suited to them. Altruism is the criterion by which to recognize the man who goes beyond humanity.
It's very easy to say "just Assume it and you may manifest it" but This is often only Component of the story. The hermetic principle of mentalism tells us that whatever the mind can conceive can be manifested from the Actual physical world - thus it's important to construct a transparent picture in your intellect of how manifesting what you wish will look and feel.
To show one other cheek and not make that off colour remark. I let the Moi operate me rather than the opposite way. I saw it occurring but it absolutely was just like a coach wreck. I couldn't end it or so I believed.
It wasn't an age of totally free speech. Subsequently a language of symbolism had to be produced. Astrology and alchemy arrived in Europe with each other. A language which was applicable to one was Furthermore relevant to another.
Be a lot more forgiving, Though you really don't wish to. That resistance is your Moi. Don't ruin/get rid of/dissolve your Moi but Permit it pass your Actual physical understanding of your entire world around into the click here feeling of love.
It is usually obvious, now, why several textbooks are ascribed to Hermes. Just one creator even speaks of 100 thousand parchments made up of Hermes's knowledge. On the other hand, all the books on this planet could not have the Hermetic wisdom mainly because it is no cost from all regular information. In truth, this knowledge can not be located in any e-book, but it will become a possession of one who actually fastens the "Rose" for the "cross."
Under the influence of the Super New Moon, evidently the cosmos may be very strongly guiding us to recover our energy, get more info our thoughts & even our Bodily bodies.

The US Marshal Service in Oregon has confirmed it has been ordered to return former Bundaberg surgeon Dr Jayant Patel to Australia by Monday.
The US Marshal Service collected Patel from prison in Portland in Oregon, where he has been held since his arrest in March, before dawn on Tuesday (local time).
A spokesman for the US Marshal Service has confirmed that Patel is no longer in the state of Oregon, but would not confirm if he was now boarded a flight for Australia.
Spokesman Dale Ortma says the US Marshal Service must deliver Patel to Australian authorities by July 21.
"The US Marshal Service Portland office has begun the extradition process to meet the court order deadline," he said.
"The movement transport and specifics of Mr Patel will not be released. He is still in our custody.
"We've just been given a deadline to transfer him to the Australian authority's custody."
The Indian-born doctor is facing 14 charges in Australia, all relating to his time as head of surgery at the Bundaberg Base Hospital in central Queensland.
The charges are three counts of unlawfully causing the death of a patient, two counts of causing grievous bodily harm, one count of a negligent act causing harm, seven counts of fraud and one count of attempted fraud.
The 58-year-old last month dropped his legal battle against his extradition.
President of the Bundaberg Hospital Patients Support Group, Beryl Crosby, says Patel's impending return will be a relief for his former patients.
"This is the milestone I guess before justice takes its role I guess, yes - so this is very, very important to us," she said.

2nd place: Sideshow's team Sideshow's AYO lads on 2293 (6 points sideshow, 6 points!), wins 3 keys
3rd place: adorable soup's team plz enjoy game on 2272, wins 1 key
And with tonight's destruction of nerdRage by Epsi… er Reason, the ETF2L competition has been wrapped up too. The final results:
1st place: at0mic's team The Killers on 3079, wins 5 keys
2nd place: hg's team save me barry! on 3030, wins 3 keys
3rd place: Death's team domoi on 2963, wins 1 key
Prize distribution has begun…
Playoff Fantasy Games
Given that Reason's player prices from the season won't represent their demand I'll have that adjusted and live tomorrow, and hopefully the ESEA playoff game live as well.
Seeing as our generous sponsor wiethoofd (of tf2pickup.net and whitelist.tf) has been ruthlessly fleeced for prizes all season and has now been forced to start sleeping on park benches as a result, it'll all be for pixel trophy glory.
ETF2L Season 21 Playoff game now open
The fantasy game for the one day playoff extravaganza is now available with players available from the 3 qualifying teams. However this fantasy game has a big difference from the ones that went before. Instead of the stingy 2 transfers a week there will be 12 available from when you create your team, so switching your team around between maps to take advantage of fluctuating form or a particular player's skill on a class (Flippy's sniper for example) is encouraged.
Whether a player you select will score points for you will be based on when I mark the game as played which will be the start time of the map as close as I can get it, and as long as players are shown to only have moved after the start time then you have them for the whole game. For times I'll be trusting server times from logs. If you make a switch very close to the start time then there's a chance you'll miss that window, but you can safely switch a player during a map for the next game as long as they were on your team for the start of that map.
I've only included Schocky for Reason but that comes with a health warning, that scout spot may be changed by them. I'll try to react to any changes there in time for people to make alternative selections if possible. Also who knows if Zebbo will stay on soldier after nerdRage's beating last night.
There won't be any market movements during the games, what you see is what you get price wise.

ESEA announcement should be made this afternoon
ESEA Season 19 Playoff game now open
The fantasy game for the ESEA playoffs is now available. Initially because of the likelihood of overlapping games I'm keeping transfers to the 2 change limit initially and probably increasing it as the competition progresses.
There's a bit of a health warning on Street Hoops, it's rumoured there will be some switching early amongst a couple of players and alfa may just be filling in briefly, so take that for what it's worth.

ozfortress OWL 14 game now open
Think you know which antipodean members of our global TF2 diaspora are as fit as a Mallee bull and who is as crook as Rookwood? Now is your chance to prove it, the ozfortress OWL 14 game is now open.
For this competition I'm liberalising the transfer rates a bit to allow 4 changes a week instead of 2.
Sign up here http://beta.fantasytf2.com/PlayerTeam/Create?seasonid=9&name=&weekid=0
Health warning: the live logs parser is the most beta part of a beta website, so there might be a few jitters here and there.
For the ESEA playoff fantasy game and ETF2L playoff fantasy game see the posts above, time is running out on those so get your teams in.
I've put up a quick page with stats that have been collected for 6v6 Season 21. I think it's fairly comprehensive although there might be a missed log here or there. Use the search box to filter classes, etc
Would be cool to be able to view regular season stats in isolation. It's all very skewed when playoff players are compared to the others who played less games/easier games on average.
Or to have more "per map" stats for kills/deaths/etc

The curated kitchen: jalapeño bacon and blackberry preserves
Just in time for Easter (or, for that matter, Mother's or Father's Day) comes two delightful treats straight out of the heart of Tennessee. First up, a bevy, an assortment, oh hell, let's just call it what it is, an embarrassment of meaty riches in the form of not one, not two, not even three, but four large packages stuffed with probably the best type of meat known to humanity in flavors ranging from jalapeño to Cajun. And what to have with this splendid bacon? Why biscuits and preserves. Biscuits and blackberry preserves. Biscuits and peach preserves. And, oh the riches, biscuits and strawberry preserves. All courtesy of the Loveless Cafe. Thanks y'all!

(msnbc) (Newser) – Elizabeth Warren might be out of that gig at the CFPB today, but that's only got tongues wagging busily about her future job prospects: namely, a run for Scott Brown's Massachusetts Senate seat, reports the Hill. Warren herself declined to rule out a run when asked by MSNBC today, saying only that she was taking the grandkids "to Legoland," then heading home "to think. But I need to do that thinking not from Washington." Democrats have been flailing in search for a candidate strong enough to take back Ted Kennedy's old seat—long a Democratic certainty—from an incumbent with a $10 million warchest. But one liberal group isn't dilly-dallying about fundraising for Warren, notes Politico: The Progressive Change Campaign Committee has raised more than $15,000 for her in the course of four hours. "We want to build her a stockpile that's ready for her on Day 1," says a PCCC rep.

Mortgage rates moved sharply higher today, more than erasing yesterday's improvement.  In fact, in one fell swoop, rates essentially moved from the bottom of 2017's range to the top!  There are a few caveats though.  First, 2017's range has been fairly narrow.  Beyond that, this is only the 3rd week of the year.

As always, the notion of "abruptness" is subjective and relative. Â In the bigger picture, rates are still in much better shape than late December levels. Â In the more immediate picture, today's losses would make for a big adjustment to yesterday's quotes. Â In some cases, borrowers might be looking at the next eighth of a percent higher in rate.

I need an intervention of some sort
I really need to stop watching Little House on the Prairie and all those Love Comes Softly Hallmark Hall of Fame movies. I keep getting this absurd desire to move to the country, become a homesteader, and shun society. Please send help.

Dancing Queen (Princess)
We've been getting used to new routines, now that the holidays are over. I went back to work earlier in January. Hana has been taking a bottle pretty well, but she wakes up more often at night. Instead of once a night, she now gets up about three times a night. She doesn't usually stay up, but either wants to eat or take a pacifier. We're really hoping for some longer stretches soon. However, the work schedule is fine. On Fridays, one of Mieko's former care attendants and another college student take care of Hana. Daddy has her all weekend. He's anxious for the weather to get warmer, so they can walk the neighborhood. Until then, it's trips to the Mall of America or snuggling up with a good book.
Hana had her two month appointment in January and her first shots. She did pretty well. Sorry this info is so delayed, but on January 7th she weighed 12 pounds and 2 ounces and was 24 inches long. She's in the 66% for weight and 78% height. I don't know where the height comes from, definitely not from the Nishikawas. As you can tell from her cheeks, she doesn't miss too many meals.
Hana seems to be getting more interested in her hands. She's grabbing toys more often and batting at things. She's still cooing away, which we love. She also really likes being on her feet. We've been putting her on the exersaucer with a pillow underneath, since she can't reach the bottom. She really likes being upright and seeing things.
We started Baby Ballroom with Meghan. Hana's in a class with three little boys, all a little older. She seems to like the movement as well as the songs and parachute time. It's fun to dance around with the babies and let them look at each others like partners. Hana also likes to admire herself in the mirror, of course. Mieko always loved the dancing and it's nice to carry on this tradition. This session we're re-learning Tango, Salsa, and Rhumba. It's all coming back to me. We'll be continuing for a few weeks with the New Parent Connection class at United as well. We're also thinking about baby yoga. We like to be busy, even if it is cold.
In other news, we have a strange update on our kitty Bailey. We received a letter from the organization in charge of cremating her remains. They said the van carrying Bailey's body had been stolen from an animal clinic. But, they later found the van with the animals inside. Whoever stole it, left it on the street somewhere and it ended up in the impound lot. The organization not only paid for the cremation, but also gave us a free urn. Weird huh?
Lastly, we want to wish Grandpa Mits a happy 70th birthday! Woo hoo! We'll be seeing him and all the family and friends in California in early April for Spring Break and my cousin Jeff's wedding. Until then, we're thinking warm thoughts. For those of you outside Minnesota, it's been the coldest January in 30 years!

I am so glad everything is going so well. i am praying that she will sleep for longer stretches so you two can get more rest. i love the pictures that you post for us to see. Among us mom's Mieko continues to be discussed as such a stronger fighter and how we can get our girls to do what all she accomplished. What a lasting impact her precious life made around the word.

Abuja 7 September 2016: The Bureau For Public Service Reforms (BPSR) has today proactively published on its website (www.bpsr.gov.ng) a detail summary of the entire Freedom of Information (FOI) request it received and responded to since the launch of its FOI Portal.
The BPSR electronic FOI portal remains the first initiative of its kind developed by any government public institution in Nigeria for submitting e-FOI request and receiving corresponding response.
Through a joint partnership with Right To Know (R2K), Nigeria and supported by the MacArthur Foundation, the BPSR in March 2016 re-designed its website with a dedicated Freedom of Information Portal for fulfilling its FOI obligations and incorporated an innovative electronic platform for receiving and responding to e-FOI request.
To view details of the summary click http://bpsr.gov.ng/index.php/foi-requests-and-responses
"R2knigeria's effort is an example of an NGO working in partnership with government to solve a joint problem"
Dr Joe Abah (DG BPSR)
"Great job, the society should be made aware of these rights"
Ben Ali
"Very useful materials, keep up the good work!"
Promise Nwokocha
"More people need to be educated on these rights"
Samuel Ejiwunmi
"Great job with the translations, they are very accurate"

I got home last night from work to find Peanut asleep in my bed. He was running a fever and had climbed into bed with mommy, so I left him there and climbed into his bed instead. This morning when mommy left for work, I went back into my own bed to get a bit more sleep.
Later this morning, after I hit snooze a few times, I rolled over just in time to watch him wake up. He opened his eyes, gave me a great big sleepy grin, then reached out his hand and just laid it on my shoulder. He left it there, and just laid there, smiling. Finally he mumbled, "Good morning."
Man, I'm going to miss these moments. They're already few and far between with Chester, and now Peanut is getting older — he'll be five very soon. Well before I'm ready for him to grow up, he'll grow up anyway.
For now, I still have these moments, and the diving, leaping hug at the door when Daddy comes in, and two boys, in bunk beds, almost-but-not-quite waking up when I get home from work, giving me sleepy-breath kisses, looking past me and saying good night to the wall.

It's not easy being an online marketer these days.
Most people think the whole industry is a scam. Quite a few of the revshares that were popular and paying suddenly disappeared.
The one program that stays month after month is SFI. It just keeps delivering what is promises month after month.
But, some other promising new programs are coming to the front, and that is a good thing. And now that I have some more free time, I get to blog more and let you know about them.

Have a great day!!!

Between 1846 and 1940, more than 50 million Europeans moved to the Americas, irrevocably changing both their new lands and the ones they left behind. Their immigration fostered an idea of the "land of the free", yet more than a third returned home again. In a groundbreaking study, Tara Zahra brilliantly explores the deeper story of this unprecedented movement of people.

family time | austin family photographer
December 18, 2013
I had so much fun capturing this family's portraits at Brushy Creek Park earlier this month. Though the clouds moved in and tried to put a visual damper our previously planned sunset shoot, we still made great use of the natural surroundings and enjoyed the brief break in what seems to have been an unusually chilly fall here in Austin. It was obvious how much this beautiful blended family cares about each other and how much fun they have together. It brings me so much joy to help families preserve these memories for years to come. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to photograph your family!
I hope everyone out there has an amazing holiday!

When I left my hotel room this morning, I was panic stricken to note that the headlights of my car were on. I parked around 6 pm, and skipped going out for dinner and it was now 9 am. Even though I thought the battery would be dead, I realized the lights were still shining which made no sense. I didn't bother putting my suitcase in the car, but immediately got in and it started normally. Let it run for a while, started it again and all was well. I have no explanation for this.
I know I have problems sometimes with car lights -- headlights, overhead lights, dashboard lights that go on automatically and I can't tell you the number of times I've stood in a hotel parking lot waiting for the interior lights to slowly go off before I went to my room. In fact, I remember one night I felt they weren't going out so I'd open the door and look until I realized that every time I opened the door, the opening would extend the time the light would stay on.
So I don't know how I dodged that bullet, but I did. One grace left. Wait, maybe I'll believe that there are unlimited graces so I only have one left in this round, but many more to come.
It was an easy ride home, across the George Washington Bridge -- still miss the Twin Towers every time I see the skyline. This picture looks like late afternoon, but it was actually around 11 am.
When a car is returned to this rental car place, you have to make a hard turn into this garage whose door fit cars in 1930, really, then down a steep ramp. And then haul your butt back up. Today, one of the rental car people said he'd do it for me, and took my suitcase out of the trunk, and refused a tip, but I offered it again and he said no, and I said "please have a beer on me" and he took it.
When I went to find a cab, there was one about one-third of the way down the block, just letting someone out so I'm feeling so lucky that I might have to go buy a lottery ticket.
Home again where the tree across the street has morphed into that beautiful late fall dayglo (almost) yellow.

beautiful tree!! I love those, that color is scattered all around the neighborhood.
In terms of the car lights, are new cars better at surviving the lights being on for a long time? Plus I thought most cars turned off the lights automatically after awhile - but what do I know, I'm just glad the battery survived and you got home.

Since the year of 2004, we receive only the Brother Candidates. In the previous years we received both the Brother and Cleric candidates. First we were a bit worry if we did get the candidates, but thanks God that the number of new Brother Candidates approximately stable (between 10 and 20 persons).
Most candidates come after being graduated high school. The entrance test materials are arranged by a National Team, we in St. Conrad are the ones who just run the test.
There were more than thirty applicants in the year of 2004, but not all of them come to have the test, some had changed their minds. But there were 15 persons passed the test, and being accepted in the postulancy.
This year (2005), there are more than thirty new applications, but, as it happened the previous year, not all of them come for the test. We have now 18 Candidates.
There is an "accident" happens this year. We usually run the test after the final exam in the High School (organized by the Government).
After getting the date of the final exam for the high school of this year, we announced the date for our test. And then the Government change the date of the exam in the high schools. So a lot of our applicants get the trouble to join the test. We still have a second round of the test. Let us pray that they will come.
It is strongly underlined that all member of the house, without exception, are the formators in any certain way. There are two persons who are directly working for the postulants (Bro. Edelbertus Atalema and Bro. Martin Mamaq).
Almost all of the candidates come from the region of NTT. The candidates from other region outside of NTT are usually joining our postulancy in Malang, IDJ. After one year of postulancy, they are sent to our noviciates: KUWU (IDR) or to NENUK (IDT). The postulants from Malang are sent to our noviciate in BATU (IDJ).
There are three noviciates of SVD in the country. Each Province has one noviciate, except Ende Province. We have the common noviciates.
The catalogus of 2005 writes the following data of Brother Novices:
KUWU (Ruteng): 10 persons
NENUK (Timor): 9 persons
BATU (Jawa): 4 persons
In total: 23 persons
Each noviciate has at least one Brother as formator.
3. FIRST YEAR JUNIORATE (one year)
Juniorate program has been changing frequently.
First those who had just made their first vows, return to St. Conrad House for two years. During this period, they got input and training on the religious missionary life, and did practice in our available work shops. After these two years period, they went to continue the studies. And then, since the year of 1999, they went directly from the noviciate to study after the first vows. According to the plan, after five years, this method should be evaluated. In the evaluation of 2004, we come to realize that such program had some serious weakness. The most disturbing one is that the new vowed Brothers need a period of calming down after the noviciate. They should first to experience the real SVD community life, not just as in the noviciate. Another disturbance is that the difficulty to join in any university. The school year starts in the month of July, while our vows are made in the middle of August. Then, the new method is now being practiced, that all the new vowed Brothers should spend one year time in St. Conrad Brother Formation in Ende. The first group of this program is now being practiced.
During this period they are given the lectures on the Religious and Missionary life, doing practice works in our work-units in Ende, while determining the subject of studies in the following year (considering their interests, talents and the need of the Congregation as a whole).
First the province of Jawa had their own program. All the new vowed Brothers spent one year time to join in the STFT (SEKOLAH TINGGI FILSAFAT DAN TEOLOGI = the High School of the Philosophy and Theology) as guest students. But from this year, they send the Brothers to St. Conrad Ende, having the same training together with the other fellows in Ende. After this one year, they return to Jawa Province.
After one year Juniorate, they are sent to study in various fields. They might be sent to another province if it is needed. The Province Council is the one who decides what to study and where, taking the memo of the Formation House into the consideration.
If someone has to go beyond his own home province, then the receiving province will take all the responsibilities regarding the formation and other things. The receiving province will take care of the young Brothers up to their final vows. It means that they have no business anymore with St. Conrad Formation house. Each province in Indonesia has a Prefect for the Brothers in temporary vows, including the Student Brothers. They are:
Ende Province: Bro. Benyamin Ade SVD,
Timor Province: Bro. Dominikus Doron, SVD
Jawa Province: Bro. Yonas Tukan, SVD
Ruteng Province: Bro. Aloysius Lanang, SVD
They have good contact with the National Director of the Brother Formation.
It takes six months for the preparation before the final vows. It usually takes place in St. Conrad Formation House, in the province of Ende. Take this year (2005) as an example: from these three Probanist Brothers, none is from the province of Ende (one is from Ruteng and two are from Timor Province). In this case, we can only help them in the field of reflection, nothing to do regarding the first mission application.
We have a list of capable persons who can be invited to help the Probanist Brothers in various fields. They are the SVD members, even the lay people (a couple), and a doctor, Muslim Guru etc.
Like in many other provinces, the ongoing formation is very poor done. It could be understood, since they are already involved in various field and communities. They depend more on the Province planning rather than the Formation House's. It happens also to the cleric confreres.
Almost every year the province offers some opportunities directly to all the confreres in the province. To mention some of them are: Arnold Janssen Spirituality workshops or retreats, Nemi Renewal Course, Dei Verbum in Nemi, and some other courses in national level.
