Cats certainly have a way of saying a lot without saying anything!

Nice Puddy! Great colors, with the darker head and the reddish body. Is it henna or sunlight? No cat would tell, no more than they would tell their secret name (see T.S. Eliot's cat poems).

Hi Loran, Your kitty is gorgeous. I used to have an aunt (that I adored) whose name was Lura (and they called her Lulu)... SO--my favorite dolly was named Lulu... Very special!!!!
Hope you had a great week/weekend.
We are glad to be home.. It was a wonderful trip --just getting to see my son and family. BUT--the weather was horrible. Oh Well!!!!
I'm going to check through some of your older blog posts.

MADISON (WKOW) -- A Madison company will run its business by harnessing the power of the sun.
On Monday, Union Cab unveiled its solar system at its office on Pennsylvania Avenue.
The system is part of the WisconSUN Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Project, which was started with the goal to build the first solar array from components made entirely in Wisconsin.
The City of Madison selected Union Cab because of its energy-efficient business practices.
Union Cab applied to be involved because it wanted to reduce part of the transportation sector's large contribution to the nation's carbon footprint.
"It's incumbent on us to make sure that we are being as efficient as we possibly can," said Union Cab Treasurer and Green Team member Kate Schachter.
Union Cab says the solar system will offset the carbon footprint of about one and a half of its minivans. It will also save the company at least $30,000 over its lifetime.

I was supposed to blog the time I got my son's entrance exam schedule at Ateneo pero I just decided na wag na lang but for this time I want to vent out how I feel.
He took the exam last March 31 and April 1. Day one is for IQ and Reading and Day two is for math and science. I'm confident that he can pass the exam. He's been a consistent achiever in school. Though I'm confident I still ask for HIS guidance.
I've been anxious for the past few weeks and I can't wait to get hold of the test result. They said that not later than April 18 we will receive the mail. April 25 I called the school to ask the result.
"Hi. Good morning. Just want to ask the test result of my son who tookd the entrance exam for grade one."
"Sorry maam but his name is not in the list."
After hearing those words I just say "ok thank you" pero as a mother I felt so sad for my son. I don't know what will I tell him if he ask about it. For a few minutes I was spaced-out.
Last sunday monday, May 5 Lee decided to tell nathan about the result. I can't take it to see nathan cried and saying "Nag-isip naman ako tapos may mali pa". Di ko alam kung malalalag ba ang puso ko or ano. I don't know kung paano ko i-eexplain sa kanya kung saan sya nagkamali kasi as stated:
The actual test scores of the applicant are confidential. Needless to say, they
are not released to the parents.
He even had a sticker like BRAVO and STAR during his exam so expected nya siguro ok ang exam nya. I even asked him how's the exam sabi nya madali lang naman. As a mom di ko alam kung paano ko talaga mae-explain sa kanya. Para nga naman unfair kasi di ko masabi kung ano mali nya. It would have been easier for them to accept if they know what they did wrong kaso wala akong proof. Sobrang excited sya sana lumipat. Before the exam we let him see the campus para ma-inspire. He saw the soccer field, the basketball court and other school facilities.
Unfair for my son pero school rules kasi but then I know we still have the right to know the result to gauge my son's performance and to know where we should focus for improvement.
Don't worry anak though we didn't make it, it doesn't mean that you're not good. I still believe na you're still the best.
I'm hesitant if we will try again next school year. Let's see. But for now nanay and tatay will make sure that you're the BEST. I love you anak and I'm very proud of you for doing good last school year. Keep it up!

With the development of genomic science and its battery of technologies, polar biology stands on the threshold of a revolution, one that will enable the investigation of important questions of unprecedented scope and with extraordinary depth and precision. The exotic organisms of polar ecosystems are ideal candidates for genomic analysis. Through such analyses, it will be possible to learn not only the novel features that enable polar organisms to survive, and indeed thrive, in their extreme environments, but also fundamental biological principles that are common to most, if not all, organisms. This article aims to review recent developments in Antarctic genomics and to demonstrate the global context of such studies.

Disaster Averted
Yesterday afternoon we had a bit of a scare...well, I was scared anyway. We received an email from our realtor informing us that the seller's agent had been out showing the lot next to ours and noticed that the space marked for the septic system was very close to or even over the property line.
I pretty much went into a panic. How could I let something like this happen? If I'm going to be our general contractor, I need to think of these things. I just assumed that the perk tester would be careful to test within our property lines. What are we going to do if it is outside of our borders?
See, by the time I received the message, I knew the septic system had probably already been installed. The septic guy (I'll call him Mr. S.) was supposed to be out there yesterday and planned to finish in one day. It had rained here in the morning, so I called Mr. S. thinking maybe he was rained out. Nope. His wife assured me that he did finish and informed me that he was out of town for a day and could not be reached. Aaaahhh!!!!
I forwarded the email to the Geek, asking him to pray and secretly hoping he might have some wise counsel in the matter....and he did. He called when he was leaving work and suggested that we go out to the lot right after dinner and see for ourselves. He knew that I wouldn't get a decent night's sleep if I didn't know.
I called our realtor and asked a few questions, like "What do we do if we are out of our property lines?" To which she answered that we'd have to negotiate with the owner - which essentially is the city since we'd be intruding on the easement if we were over - or it would have to be moved. Great. There goes another $4000 we can't afford. So, armed with a 100' tape measure, and even more panic than before, I left to meet my dear Geek at Perkins where we had a nice dinner while he calmly assured me that everything was going to work out just fine. He is so good for me.
After dinner we made the drive out to the lot. Nothing quiets the soul quite like a nice drive in the country. By the time we got there I was feeling better already, though anxious to obtain the answer to our question. We pulled out the tape measure and measured 40' from the edge of the road (which is the north border of our lot). When my husband marked the 40' point, we still had a good 15' beyond him to the edge of the drainfield.
Whew! What a relief! The panic instantly disappeared and from that point on, our little unexpected trip was pure joy. We snapped a few pictures of the new septic (see below) which hadn't been covered yet, presumably so it can be inspected first. The Geek snapped a picture of me - not a particularly flattering one, but the first we have of me at our new home.
Yes, it's beginning to feel like home even though currently it's just a great big field with a few trees and a big underground tank with some pipes sticking up. We agreed that we have a strange mix of feelings there - a hybrid of "Is this wonderful thing really happening?" and "This place already feels like home."
I can't wait until the day when "driving home" becomes the drive away from the city, rather than the drive into the city. That will be a glorious day!

This is a topic that Magniloquence or Little Light could probably do better. However, since both of them are probably a lot busier in more productive ways than I am right now, I'll give it a shot.
Much like my ramblings about minority equality, I'm hard pressed to figure out what true gender equality would look like. Equality, as Magniloquence points out, should not mean the same thing as sameness. Although the two are often conflated. It also depends on what you think equality is.
According to some people's world view, the genders are equal. Each gender has its own assigned role, passive and active, aggressive and submissive, strong and weak. It was always an argument that the sexes had separate but different spheres, each completing one another. According to this world view, the sexes are already equal.
What makes this theory problematic is its rigid definition of gender roles and its assumption that all men perform their masculinity in the same way, and all women perform their femininity in the same way. And of course that all men are 100% masculine and all women are 100% feminine. It's too rigid a theory to allow for "deviancy" from the norm.
Also according to contemporary, progressive ways of thinking, the problem with the theory lies in the difference in status between the two. Their roles may be complementary, but their places at the table are not equal.
While the silence in the comments section indicates that many of you are rather bored by what I've been doing recently, I would, as always enjoy hearing comments on this.

Big announcement! Each month, FFM will feature and review community groups who cultivate creative young talent. Please help us identify these groups in your local communities by contacting us.
I thought I'd start off the review section with a piece about London's Cando2 dance troupe. Cando2 are connected to the Candoco Dance Company in London N1. They are a small group of disabled and non-disabled young dancers age 14- 25, specializing in contemporary dance performances. Not only are they talented dancers, but promote positive images of disability across the country. Last year Cando2 visited thirteen London boroughs on the Jam Free tour whose aim was to encourage participation in dance for young people and promote active lifestyles.
A review from a reporter at the LTD Fest
At the Battlefront LTD Fest at Proud Camden, the group instantly had their audience captivated with their fluid, high-energy movements against a digital string symphonic soundtrack. The seven member group didn't hold back from bursting into their performance, and they took full advantage of the floor space, quickly emptying and filling it and then finally coming together as a group in neat moments of symmetry. Each dancer had their moment in showcasing their moves, and by pairing up in poses that communicated strong messages about perceptions of disability.
Another review from a reporter at The Roundhouse
In June this year the group performed a double bill at the Roundhouse Studio Theatre: 'Cravings of Intimacy and Solitude' a duet by Anna Bergstrom and Kimberley Harvey. The title itself suggest the fears and worries that we have when forming relationships with others. The duet showcased an impressive range of ideas and themes within their choreography. At times it was gentle, frail movements, then becoming lighthearted and then playful. Their ideas made me really think about relationships in the modern world- and how, in such a busy 24/7 society, how difficult it can be to seek those very human needs of 'intimacy and solitude'.
The second performance was called 'Long Way Home' and formed part of the Refresh Project . The performance was a response to lyrics of music selected by some of the country's leading choreographers. The song 'Long Way Home' by hip-hop artist Wretch 32 Feat. Daley, addresses issues of homelessness, drug addiction and deprivation. The adaptations of the lyrics- which are pretty hard hitting- really enforced the message of the song.
You can follow the Candoco and Cando2 youth dance company at their website. If you have children who might want to be involved then email firstname.lastname@example.com. Their rehearsal studio is based at Aspire, the National Centre for Spinal Injuries on the Essex Rd, London N1.
We would love to hear your reviews of your local creative youth theatre groups, and get it featured here or possibly compile a directory for reference. Just an idea. 🙂

I was riffling through the drawer just the other day looking for my certificates when I stumbled upon several pictures nicely tucked inside an envelope.
Crikey Blimey !!
The pictures are so old and memory of all those good ol' days some 10 years ago came flooding back...
This picture was unfortunately taken during the 'pre-digital' age so it's not so clear and the quality isn't great. But you can still see these young, happy and fresh faces of Bognor Regis very clearly, obviously enjoying a great feast while not forgetting to smile for the camera like typical Malaysians.
So we have Put the Princess from the left ~Put and I were in Miri together for a few years after MPIK and it was great getting to see her daugher and also getting to know her mum quite well (a really nice lady); Shafie ~ no comment, haha; Moi, with the tiny t-shirt that I will not be able to fit into anymore; Shaminie ~ at the moment happily married with two great kids, living in Hampshire; Fely ~ needless to say, my 'partner in crime' throughout the 6 long years of our course, a great companion, a good laugh, always ready for a giggle; Kak Yu ~ recently married, very happy for you girl; Beatrice ~ also another of my on and off 'partner in crime' who looks after me and feeds me well whenever I visit her in Reading; Munirah~ always very soft-spoken and very polite, and always with a nice smile on her face. In the background we have Maria, our Student Services Co-ordinator while we were in Bognor. And tucked away at the back, you can hardly see, is Sha, looking a bit 'hurt' I think for being excluded from the picture, haha. Oh yeah, can you see those shoes I was wearing in the picture? The biege one? Yesss... I still have them and am still wearing them. It seems that my feet are the only parts of my body which have not expanded too much, haha.
And then there's another picture I want to share with you.
This is taken during one of our stops in our round-the-UK-in-5-days-roadtrip!!
All 17 of us were working at Silverstone in Kent for the British Grand Prix, selling baguettes and picking rubbish, and sleeping like sardines in a shipping container (remember that??). And after the grand prix, six of us (yess, breaking the law the entire way by squeezing four people at the back of the car instead of three) got into a Renault and drove from London, to Birmingham, to Leeds, to Edinburgh, to Isle of Skye, back down to Edinburgh, then Blackpool, to the Lake District, past Manchester, and back to London again, all in 5 days.
So this picture was taken during our stop at Edinburgh when we were visiting Anusia and the lot. From the left we have Bea's sister's friend who tagged along; and then moi, and in front of me we have Dyanthi who cracked all sorts of funny jokes along the way; and then Anusia, in the middle, holding Bea (in a funny position, haha) and next to Anusia is Bea's sister; and next to her is our Ah Moi driver who drove us round the UK, queendrey aka Audrey.
If I remember rightly, at that time Anusia was cooking lunch for all of us. It's great to have friends all over the UK when we were here almost 10 years ago because most of our accommodation was free. We stayed with Lili and Audrey in London; and then with Bea's friend Gerard in Birmingham; and two nights I think in Edinburgh and the only place we had to pay for accommodation was at the youth hostel at The Isle of Skye!!
There is so much more that I wish to share with you and I could go on and on and on about all the things that I can remember from the good ol' Bognor days.... but for the time being, I think this will do.
Did I miss out anything that anyone would like to share ??

Etsy on Good Morning America!!
The segment was all about finding a job and GMA was hosting a job fair in Atlanta. Etsy apparently participated in that job fair. I was really surprised but thrilled to see the great big orange Etsy sign plastered all over national TV! A woman in Atlanta was searching for a job. While she kept getting turned down for jobs all over the place, she decided to put a couple of her own paintings on Etsy. Two of them sold within two weeks! Hooray for her! And hooray for Etsy for getting to be displayed all over the TV screens of America for a big portion of the segment!
Nothing can beat free advertising, and Etsy got a good bit of it today. Way to go Etsy!

I'm sorry I missed that! Thanks for posting about it, though! Yay for Etsy!!! And, believe it or not, I have several friends that think the whole economy is going to collapse and we are going to turn into a "bartering" nation! Ummm, I don't know if I'm quite ready to trade jewelry for toilet paper yet, but maybe for some cute shoes! :D

Wow Kathy, those are some grim words: "the whole economy is going to collapse". Makes me cringe to think about it! It sure does seem like it's pretty close to it when you look around at what's going on and then listen to the news and all the stuff they report. Bartering for toilet paper seems a bit scary! Maybe the economy does need to collapse. Then we could just start over from square one and do it right the next time. It will be interesting to see what happens.

Interview: April 8, 2013
Nong Palagon reveals the three famous actresses, "Aum-Pancake-Kwan" still have contract with Channel 7, do not want to speak regarding Vee and Weir becoming producers.
"Regarding the new producers, I think everyone has their own idea but it largely has to do with the decision of the channel on whether to give everyone a chance. But we have a committee who make the next round of decisions. As for Vee and Weir, I have yet to see anything (smile). They may be in the process of preparing their works perhaps."
What about Kaew Apiradee Pawaputanont who is about to make a drama for Channel 7?
"I think regarding this you have to go ask the lakorn production sector because we split the sectors up, there's the lakorn production committee and the decision making committee."
Regarding the contracts of Aum Patcharapa, Pancake Khemanit, and Kwan Usamanee.
"Aum still have contract with us. Pancake and Kwan renewed their contracts already."
Source: http://www.komchadluek.net
P.S. Since the beginning of 2013, having a new CEO, Nong Palagon, channel 7 has been through quite a few changes. They're giving opportunity for new producers to come in. They also increased the investment caps for lakorns meaning producers can borrow more funding to produce their drama. Compare to Khun Dang Khun Nong is more open to new changes and new ideas from people. I didn't know Khun Kaew aka Khun Nai in Pin Anong is considering to become a producer. That's interesting. Eventually when the time comes both Weir and Vee will probably go behind the scene. The chance of these two leaving channel 7 is very slim and next to nothing.

Update 2.0Leave a comment
April 2, 2012 by zdueck
So It's month 2 and I have not yet lost steam although I have found that, aside from failing to make a media page I was satisfied with, trying to keep up with my rigid twice a week schedule has left me grasping for material and making haphazard last minute posting in a desperate attempt to keep on the ball… So I've decided the rigid schedule just ain't for me, I'll still try for a post every Monday (cause if I don't have at least one post a week I may just forget about this place) and if you get more than that that's just icing on an already delicious cake in my mind. And speaking of icing on a cake, these updates just don't seem satisfying enough as a post… so enter the 2.0 part of this update.
Cupit Travel Guitar
I saw this a while ago on youtube and for those of you who know me know that I have a strange fascination for backpack sized instruments… But this one takes the cake as the most interesting design I have ever seen in a guitar… I mean the sound holes are parallell to the neck and above the strings, which are placed at the bottom of the instrument instead of the middle… I understand a little bit about acoustics, but not enough to understand how this design makes sense (and clearly not a lot do as this is the only guy producing this style of guitar I can find). And yet, as non-sensical an instrument as it is, it still sounds pretty good. The more I look into travel instruments the more surprised I am at how much good quality sound can be produced by such little packages.

Home Made Flappin' Duck Pull Toy
This little duck is the cutest thing. You really have to see him in action to fully appreciate him. It's hilarious ! As the wooden wheels turn the rubber feet go around and slap the floor. He is all wood with rubber wings and feet and rope to pull him along with is attached to the top of his head. I am sure of the age, I'd guess over 25 years old w/a newer screw & soft rope. The duck itself measures 9" tall & 14 " long, It has a soft rope attached that is about 4 1/2 feet long.

August Challenge Update-Week 2
1. The husband called me at 10:30 Thursday morning and asked if the girls and I could be up at the church by 1:00 to do a video shoot for him. Now, I'm not one to disappoint, so I said yes. What I wouldn't do for my man. The problem? I had not showered yet, and the girls were in pajamas, and the house looked like a war-zone. These shoots, you never know how long they will last, so everyone needed to be bathed, dressed, and have eaten lunch before 1:00. I didn't have anything quick to fix, the sandwich stuff was gone, and all that was left were things that needed cooked. I didn't have time for cooking and showering, so I opted for the showering. (I'm sure everyone was grateful even though they didn't know it.) Okay, you guessed it, we went through the drive-thru. AAAAAHHHHHH!
2. The above-mentioned video that was filmed at 1:00 in the afternoon on Thursday had to be completely edited by noon-time on Friday. All the dinner stuff I had left was for the grill. I haven't found a way to safely grill and watch all three children at the same time. Mr. N had to stay at the church until LATE to get the video done. We ordered pizza. AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!
3. Friday night we got invited to go out to eat with some of the volunteers and staff at church. Last time they asked and we said no, I said that we would NOT say no again. We really want to build relationships with people and if you keep saying no, they eventually will stop asking. We've learned that before. So, of course, we went out to eat with a group from church Friday night. It was all in the name of fellowship. :)
4. With the husband's LONG hours, he still wasn't home to grill and we still didn't have any other groceries (because I have also learned to try at all costs to shop without the girls!) So, of course we had to do a drive-thru on the way home from church. AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!
Translation: We had an EAT-OUT BLOW-OUT this weekend. We made it all the way to the 7th without eating out and then ate out like 4 times in 3 days. Needless to say, rule#1 has been broken. But, I am not going for perfection, I'm going for progress. I have not given up on the month. I sat down with receipts and it wasn't as bad as it seemed.
For two weeks of groceries and toiletries I spent $185.00. Looking at this perspective we are under budget. However, add in the $100 spent on those 4 meals and we are OVER budget.
Here's how I'm looking at it.
1. We still did WAY better than we had been doing, even adding in the eating out money, so PROGRESS. Baby-steps, remember?
2. I'm going to try my hardest to use the remaining $200 for the rest of the month. See, all is not lost. Maybe I'll reach my goal for August Challenge Second-Half?
By the way, we are more-than-likely, but not-for-certain going camping this weekend, so my next update won't be until a week from Tuesday probably. Unless we don't go camping, then it will be Sunday. :)

I feel that weekends are the hardest when it comes to eating out. Being that I've been on the diet that I'm on, I allow myself one free meal and it's usually something like Pizza. Kris and I used to eat out every meal on Saturdays - that was until we had kids and figured how expensive it was. Eating out is not cheap, but either is eating healthy. It seems like I spend a ton of money at the store for buying "healthy" options. It's frustrating.

Orioles manager Buck Showalter said the organization may consider holding back Manny Machado from playing third base Friday in his first rehab game with the High-A Frederick Keys due to rain in the area.
Instead, Showalter said, Machado could DH during Friday's game and then play in the field Saturday, when he was supposed to DH.
Machado, 21, is coming back from offseason surgery on his left knee and Friday will be his first game for an affiliate. Once he plays – in the field or at DH -- it will start his rehab clock of 20 days. The Orioles hope to have him back before then; he has had about 30 at-bats in extended spring.
"In a perfect world, you'd like to see him get the at-bats [on Friday and Saturday]," Showalter said.
-- Major League Baseball altered its "transfer play rule" today, which will allow umpires to call an out even if the defender drops the ball while he is transferring it to his throwing hand, so long as the player clearly had the ball secured initially.
"I applaud the fact that they did it quickly, all things considered," Showalter said. "We felt like this was coming."
In Sunday's game against the Boston Red Sox, shortstop Ryan Flaherty, in his attempt to turn a double play, dropped the ball on transfer after a force out at second base – and the runner was called safe due to the strict interpretation of the rule. The Red Sox went on to score in the inning and eventually won, 7-6.
The Orioles also had the call go their way in Detroit earlier this month, as Showalter points out.
"Refresh my memory, didn't we benefit from that call, too?" he said. "I'm not going to dwell on it. Ryan and our infielders knew what was going to be called. Whether it was fair or not fair. … It's not like we weren't forewarned, and we talked to our guys in the spring about it. We talked to our guys in the advanced meeting about it. Everybody knew. That's why there wasn't a whole lot of argument of whatever out there."
He continued: "Shame on you if you haven't made your people aware of it. And anybody that comes out and complains about it must have not been listening at the meetings."
-- Left fielder David Lough gets the start tonight against his old team, the Kansas City Royals. The Orioles traded for Lough in December, sending Danny Valencia to the Royals.
Showalter said he hopes Lough doesn't try to do too much.
"David is very appreciative of the opportunity he got in Kansas City. He is also appreciative of the opportunity they gave him of trading him here," Showalter said. "So I don't think he has got to show them anything."
-- It's raining at Camden Yards. Showalter said if the Orioles have to postpone the game, they could make it up as a split (two-admission) doubleheader on Saturday. If that is the case, the Orioles could temporarily call up a player – a pitcher -- for the second game.

We're covering tunneling in my quantum mechanics class. I did a little bit of research and was surprised to find out that Gurney and Condon made one of the first practical application of quantum tunneling to accurately predict alpha decay of various radioactive elements. They describe alpha decay as alpha particles tunneling through the attractive potential barrier of the nucleus. I found three very interesting journal articles on the subject. The first is a historical summary by Condon. The second and third are the initial journal articles by Gurney and Condon in Nature and Physical Review. All three of these articles can be accessed for free from most university libraries.
EU Condon, Tunneling - How it all Started, Am. J. Phys., 46, 319, (1978)

Setting the Table
Today's the day that will seperate the men from the boys!
Good morning and welcome back to the squeezy cheese. Hoofy pitched the perfect game yesterday and as traders focused on the "why," our resident bull skipped along and showed them "how." Indeed, after the initial fade shook out the weak longs, the bulls never looked back and closed 'em on the highs. Have we begun the stiff lift everyone's been waiting for or is this the shake out before we finally break the October lows? It's freaky Friday in Minyanville, boys and girls, so suck it up and shake it off--the games are about to begin.
We've discussed the three phases of trading before but I thought it might be helpful to circle back for a refresher. Typically, substantial market moves are characterized by denial, migration and panic and knowing where we are in that cycle often helps in crafting a strategy. As it stands, the bovine will argue that we're in the denial phase a bull cycle while the bears believe we're edging towards the panic phase of the bear cycle. How do we know which critter is fibbing?
The painful truth is that we won't know, with certainty, without the benefit of hindsight. What we can do, however, is assimilate our trading metrics and implement a strategy with defined risk parameters. There's a delicate balance between using prices to your advantage and fighting the tape. Knowing where to draw that line will often differentiate success from failure. That, in a nutshell, is why I attempt to view the big picture as a series of little pictures--you never want a misstep to turn into a tumble
Yesterday's rally replanted the seeds of hope and the "buy the dip" crowd has already emerged. That's potentially bullish for our psychological metric but will exacerbate the meltage if, in fact, we turn back south. With so many traders staring into the abyss on Wednesday, the watched pot never boiled. Now, however, the performance anxiety has shifted and the fear of missing is firmly in place. Have the emotional types "reached" yet? I don't think so--but when/if they do, it'll be the final piece of the puzzle.
I'm admittedly suspect of the "sidelined cash" (mutual fund reserves low) and I've been relatively vocal about the fragility of the triple bottom. Historically, the most vicious rallies occur in the bear market and without fail, they've....well, failed. Discipline, however, always trumps conviction and the definition of an investment should never be a trade that's gone against you. As such, I've been sure to define my overnight risk via options and my daily exposure with stops.
The caveat for the bears is that the squeezage will identify a more "justified" data point. With Dubya taking a softer stance yesterday, the prospect of a unified U.N or (are you sitting down?) war avoidance has crept into the mindset of the masses. If (big if) the U.N and U.S can find the same page and the world unites over Iraq, the knee jerk reaction will likely be higher. That, more than anything, is my biggest fear for Boo.
One day at a time, Minyans, and thankfully, we've only got one more session before our requisite two day respite. Weekends are well earned these days and we surely deserve a break from the tape. Before we turn it off and tune it out, however, we've got some work to do. Let's end this bad boy on a good note and jingle our way towards the close.
Good luck today.

The Ghost of Depareted Quantities
You know I am not much of a drinker, not that I am not sociable. But every once in awhile I think about winding up in the bar playing music tolerated really and no longer enjoyed by the crowd. But we can be alone anywhere really, the question is why any one place in particular as if it matters where my dust blows. Perhaps I would like them flushed down the john in the bottle and barrel as a memorial as is the idea by my son Arian for his final retirement- hmmm, make that the ladys John they seem a little cleaner. That or just dump my body in front of the veterans service officer so they can deal with it- even that benefit they did not let me work out. But dont you think I am not a happy and easy going bloke- more than anything I have come to realize that we individually are very much responsible for our own endurance and happiness and alas, we are not responsible for that in others, not directly anyway- certainly morally but our damn society and state borders on indifference and immorality. Anyway we may have a roast and retirement party at the bottle and barrel where I will also play and that is a joke really as one should have something to retire from! But you are all invited :-)

Crossing Death's Path at Night…
illustration by Kort Fox
Crossing Death's Path at Night…by L. Edgar Otto
I am walking at night, making a circuit of the islands, the
bars from Barstow and Water streets, peering inside, never
going in alone, learning the denizens. I see the deaf girl in
the floppy hat, the shorty singing karaoke. I wave. He does
not see me. I know now he and my dark angel did not date;
only spied upon imagined voices in the joints.
I sing between the blocks of nearly empty streets and
write a country song about craving the neon lights and noise
after a love goes silent in that place like any other place one
finds himself in--- that stalemate in a meaningless game;
stranded. That place where there is no way to cross the
expanse of once familiar seas and only scavengers and wild
man eyes and tigers in disguise; uncaring and unseen to me
who senses this town of memories foreign and full of
strangers. Nothing to do but walk.

expanse of once familiar seas and only scavengers and wild
man eyes and tigers in disguise; uncaring and unseen to me
who senses this town of memories foreign and full of
strangers. Nothing to do but walk.
I stop a young lady I'd seen passing by with nods on
other nights in these hours between coffee shop closing early
and last calls and rowdy crowds and borderlines for
swerving drunk drivers. Wisconsin summers are for road
construction and freedom from her one other season; Arctic
winter. They are a time to waste and walk until I slip behind
the boxes in the factory to sleep; entering late enough that
the security guards would not care, would not smile and
observe my miniature tobacco pipe--- no privacy although so
high the rent. I will lay among rolling papers, shreds of harsh
hangover trash gleaned from the floors of auction houses
sold to Americans back home in Caroline Virginia. I ask her
to let me walk with her to the Bottle and Barrel. She is a
working girl wanting to see what the guy she met last Friday
wanted. She will stay for a time and walk back home, saying
she was not afraid and never bothered to be during her
weekend walks down this lower class ghetto of a
The drunks pass us, stumble. But wait until they pass
us with cat calls and violent remarks. Then the police stare,
surprised and white faced; pretend not to see us. By now
they are used to my walking and no longer follow. They are
sure I'm just one of the river rat winos; but one who doesn't
drink or cause trouble. Or perhaps they think I am one of the
positive-avenue mentally ill who wander at night and say,
"Hi Joe, see you at the soup kitchen slop shop tomorrow", or
grunt at the blonde old bag lady who happily grunts back
"hello". I recite to the young girl my song lyrics as she says
she likes the live bands. I think of how the others must see
me and still allow themselves to feel safe--- they understand
me as if I'm on some medication; as if I'm talking to myself,
like the bag lady does: "Hey, your payee takes too much of
your money, Mande, to not let you go at night for coffee at
Burger King." Yeah babe, keep cursing them under your
"I'll walk you back if you don't stay," I say to the
young working girl. We talk of when she too worked in the
old tire factory--- almost derelict again as the economy keeps
sliding down.
But I lose her in the crowd, thinking I might buy a
beer; maybe talk with Sue, who lives here. She is the party
chairman, socializing. Maybe I'll bring it up to her how the
county has made it so hard for my family in spite of
obligations from the state. I am a veteran without
disabilities; granted quality in nothing, not even quality in
my lifelong quest for the promised education or training for
better work than washing dishes. KP trained me for that, and
I also became an expert marksman.
God, I hate badges now and would never want to
wear one. I see all the kids in detention for playing hooky;
suspended for three days of hanging out at the mall; a year
before they can go to college again. If I were ever called for
jury duty and voted again, I would declare them all innocent.
I was cuffed on hearsay for what I'd never done and worse.
Without trial they took my child in handcuffs from his home.
No dependents now, we live on the street.
I was in my bag lady disguise, having a small plastic
see thru brown bag with a jar of peanuts and two cans of
Doctor Pepper. The bartender and the B&B and the bouncer-
-- both drinking—say "You can't bring that in here. You'll
have to leave."
"But I just bought this for morning at my shop and
was finally going to buy a beer. Don't worry, it is not twelve
and you won't get in trouble."
"Just leave."
So I wave goodbye to her through the window and
begin the final walk past the long industrial building down
Galloway by the river, before the path on the bank in the
woods turns into a bike trail. I never wanted to walk it at
night. Once I encountered a staring deer; frozen, stopped.
Only when I rattled my keys did it awkwardly turn and
scamper back along its path.
Then I saw him--- horse and a large black robe and
hood; pristine. He was entering the path in the woods
parallel to my long sidewalk of lights and noise and plastic
smells. It was Midsummer and not Halloween. I think maybe
I'm imagining this, maybe some old Wiccan lady crossdresses;
out now so as not to be seen in the dead of night,
dressed too warm for day. Maybe Death is some true myth,
hokey and forgotten, like Bigfoot. Or like the time I
challenged God to send a bolt from the blue and a three-foot
hole in my apartment ceiling blew out 25 water heaters.
But Death does not see me, so I walk faster and
whistle my new and happy tune, joyful and full of nuances
of emotions. They betray. I do not whistle in the dark.
Anyway, if this is death, I have a bone to pick with
him. How dare he take Kinsey's mom and leave the four
children. How dare he confuse the prey--- waiting,
accepting, grooming herself for the claws and teeth; saying
no to life and love, to eating or being eaten. Rape as well as
love are now as meaningless as the pretentions of justice,
institutions of learning and state, the expectations of work
and marriage, and the chemical imbalances of therapists-asdealers.
Death comes out of the path walking faster than I'd thought
and passes the transformers for electricity for the complex
before the bike path. I have half a block to go and gain on
him, he slows. I continue my song. We are the only ones
walking along in the same direction. By chance and not
design, I stop at the east entrance and rattle my keys,
opening the door. He must know that from here on, our paths
alone together would cross; danger between strangers along
the bike path. He turns to look at me, white faced and frozen.
I stop and stare back. I go inside and lock the door as he
scampers into the distance.

Today during one of my elementary breaks, I stopped at Tour de Jour for a sandwich. The selection was nothing special. My options were between a potato salad sandwich, and a BLT. I was curious to see how Koreans would interpret the ingredients in a BLT, so I paid my 3,500 won and prepared myself for another Korean dining experiment.
Everything was there: the tomato, the lettuce, the bacon. Slight problem…the bacon was uncooked. A little horrified at the soft, uncooked bacon in front of me, I figured I've gone this far, I might as well see this through to the end. It was a curious little sandwich. The Koreans even jazzed it up with some sweet pickles (something they love to put in everything, even though it rarely compliments the meal.) Needless to say, I will never eat a BLT from Korea again.

This is my daughter in the KUER (Salt Lake City) studio talking with Melissa Block from NPR's All Things Considered. She is a contributor in a book called "Dear President Obama: Letters of Hope From Children Across America". No matter what side of the aisle you're on, these letters are an excellent example of how all our children feel about the state of their world, and know they have a right to speak up. To hear the broadcast, click here.
And congratulations to my daughter for shining brighter than her parents!
One of the really cool things about being an author is that it gets you entrance into some very unique places for research. I recently was given access to the underground tunnels at a local Jr. High School. It was kind of impromptu so I only had sandals on which limited where I could climb or crawl, but what I got to see was pretty interesting! The staff that works at the school tell me stories, one in particular of an unexplained dark figure that walks into the art room in the early morning hours and voices in the gym when the building is locked up tight. While my book in progress is not about ghosts, it is a dark & sinister story.The tunnels inspired a lot of material and depth (get it?) to the plot. Thanks Mike for the tour!

Kids might be seeing marijuana in a more relaxed way now that it is
legal for people ages 21 and older to smoke or eat it in several states.
But the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is urging parents to
talk with their teens about the harms of marijuana use, just like they
would talk with them about drugs, alcohol, tobacco or e-cigarettes.
Even in states where marijuana is legal for medical or recreational reasons,
the AAP advises against using or eating it in front of children.
"Seeing parents use marijuana makes kids more likely
to use it themselves, whether or not their parents tell them
not to, because actions speak louder than words," said Sheryl A. Ryan, M.D., FAAP, co-author
of a new AAP report about marijuana.
Whether smoked or eaten, marijuana can cause intoxication in adults and children. People
should not drive under the influence of marijuana or ride in a car driven by someone who has
used it, according to the AAP.
Teens who use it can have learning, attention and memory problems as well as lung problems,
according to the AAP.
Despite its effects, students' acceptance of marijuana is high, according to a recent survey of eighth-, 10th- and
12th-graders. In 2015, about 40% of teens consumed marijuana edibles in states where sales were legal and 28%
tried them in states where edibles are illegal.
Marijuana plants and products have more of the active ingredient tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) than in the past. In
1995, marijuana had 4% THC and now it has about 20% THC.
Marijuana edibles look like regular food. However, a single edible often contains several serving sizes and a large
amount of THC. Sometimes, edibles are in packages similar to popular treats. A child who accidentally eats a whole
piece of the food can overdose. And because it takes up to three or four hours to feel the effects of edible marijuana,
teens might eat more and overdose.
Signs of an overdose include anxiety, panic, paranoia, dizziness, weakness, heart problems and poor coordination.
The AAP advises the following to keep children safe:• Keep marijuana products out of reach or locked away in child-resistant packaging. Clearly label edibles. Askfamily or friends who use marijuana products to do the same.
• Talk with children about the dangers of marijuana and edibles to their health.
• If your child accidentally eats marijuana, call the poison control hotline at 1-800-222-1222. If symptoms are
severe, call 911.

Everything was going the bull's way on Friday with traders looking forward to the weekend wanting to sneak out the back door early; however, a tape bomb spoils the party.
At 10:30 AM, the news wires say Ukraine troops have attacked Russian troops inside Ukraine. This represents a dramatic escalation of the turmoil and creates a multi-nation war. A Russian military convoy entered Ukraine at a different location while everyone was watching the humanitarian convoy. Eyewitnesses report Russian military vehicles crossing into Ukraine. Ukraine forces say the Russian military convoy sustains serious damage and now efforts increase to block the humanitarian convoy due to the escalation of tensions. The stock market plummets and the bullish day turns sour.
The SPX collapses 22 points from 1964 to 1942, -1.1%, in 90 minutes time bottoming at 12 noon. The Dow drops from 16775 to 16575, 200 points, -1.2%. The COMPQ drops from 4482 to 4427, 55 points, -1.2%, in the 90-minute timeframe. The RUT collapses from 1151 to 1132, 19 points, -1.7%. The small caps are hit harder which would be expected but note how the broader market and tech move down uniformly on the news. This indicates that the headline-reading algorithms were in full control of the downdraft. The VIX catapults from 12 to 15. European markets collapse with the DAX dropping from above 9300 to below 9100, losing -1.4% on the day.
Fed's Kocherlakota speaks at 10:45 AM in the middle of the stock market selloff (a scheduled talk) and says "inflation will remain subdued." Gold is at 1309 not receiving any upside on the Ukraine news since many traders use gold as an inflation hedge and Kocherlakota says inflation is on a milk carton (missing).
The red rising wedge pattern forecasts the spank down. The green falling wedge helps create the bottom at noon time. The blue inverted H&S is in play that would send price back up to the 1961-1964 area. The thin red lines show a rising wedge targeting the 1958-1964 area as a potential near-term top. Markets are obviously reacting to the Ukraine-Russia news so the weekend will have to play out. This information is for educational and entertainment purposes only.

I made an assignation with the Night;
In the abyss was fixed our rendezvous:
In my breast carrying God's deathless light I came her dark and dangerous heart to woo.
I left the glory of the illumined Mind And the calm rapture of the divinised soul And travelled through a vastness dim and blind To the grey shore where her ignorant waters roll.
And still that weary journeying knows no end;
Lost is the lustrous godhead beyond Time, There comes no voice of the celestial Friend,
And yet I know my footprints' track shall be A pathway towards Immortality.
26-7-1938 revised 18-3-1944
One of the disciples, Dara (Aga Syed Ibrahim), who paid his homage to Sri Aurobindo on the 5th December, stated :
I found myself in Sri Aurobindo's own room by the side of his cot. He seemed so peaceful and happy, and the flesh shone with a new luster which I failed to see at the daŕsan time on 24th November. Why could I not see it before?... I could not take my eyes off his face and arms. It seemed to me he was alive. It was certain that he was in a condition of a deep and upward soaring trance just then.

text: 2016 was a turbulent year for me with a lot of personal changes. I am relieved the year is over and I am looking to 2017 with new beginnings and a lot of personal growth and crafting creativity! My first stitching project to kick off the New Year is a SAL with the SAL Stitchers on Facebook; they have decided on Baby It's Cold Outside by Heartstring Samplery. I have had this pattern in my stash for a long time and am very excited to have this be my first stitching project for 2017. The start date is January 6th!

She really was fascinated by all the festivities (mostly the huge mascot).
The guy coordinating our choir coming to perform gave Jamie and I free tickets to come out check things out and we had great seats right behind home plate.
We didn't stay long- just enough to see how things were going to go with the choir performing and let Audrie experience her first baseball game. She really enjoyed it though!
So on Friday night we arrived with our singers all excited to sing!
One of our singers got to throw out the ceremonial first pitch. He was great! (They offered to let me do it, but I would have had to waddle about three feet from home plate to even get the ball close to the catcher's mitt!)
The kids sang so wonderfully! I was very proud of them.
They did warn us about 5 minutes before we sang that there would be fireworks going off in the middle of our "bombs bursting in air" singing. (Good thing they warned me... would have hated to have my water break right there from the startle!)
My friend Kate took these two pictures for me (there the kids are on the big screen...).
It was really super fun to get to direct the kids out there on the field! I was just relieved to make it that night with my due date so close.
And it was sort of a fundraiser, too, the choir sold 200 tickets to family and friends to come cheer us on (and the choir got to keep a percentage of the ticket sales for our program). So it was great to have a huge crowd of supporters there! (And my mom, of course, my number one fan...)
My brother Caleb even took a break from his college finals to be there for me.

Deep meaningful conversations were the background music to my morning today. Looking out onto the rolling hills of tin houses and burning rubbish, Hayden and I questioned what makes people happy. The children looked up to the balcony we were on and waved with big shining smiles as adults rushed by starting their day of work. We discussed the hardships of their lives but thought about the fact that we also find "hardships" in our lives, that seem just as big at the time we are experiencing it. Yet, in the developed world we lead a much lonelier life, with introversion the new hipster, we have lost our sense of community and family. Taking the first step into class, we agreed that the essence of happiness is human connection.
Class went well, with a lot of activities and little lecturing, the energy was quite high. Again, the quieter students started to speak up more and again, the guys in the back seemed to be putting in real effort which was lovely to see. Henry arrived 5 minutes late and was definitely drunk, it seemed obvious today as he was mumbling to himself, jumped up in the middle of class to volunteer for the talent show, and tried to answer all of the questions with life stories. After the second break, Lilian sang a church song which was really good vibes as people started singing along and clapping and dancing. I sat with Erick and Lucky, and VJ told me about 30 minutes in to move as they were speaking to me and it was distracting the class and the teachers lecturing, which I felt quite guilty about after as I told myself I wouldn't do that.
After class, we had some one-on-one time, where Ayub asked me what "1/2" and "1/4" means, which was the cutest. Dianna then came to speak to me and told me her life story, which was one of the saddest stories I have heard. She explained her inspiration for creating a rehabilitation center which was essentially; her dad was alcoholic, who would come home in the middle of the night and aggressively kicked out her and her mom so they would have to sleep on the streets. This started when she was 6 years old.
Proceeding that solemn afternoon, my mood was lifted over coffee with Paul (the Strathmore University student) where we spoke about my business idea and came up with a great starting business model. I left really excited and came home to relax and submit my courses while everyone went to visit a start up.
We have now just finished lesson planning, so now it's time for lala.
Buenos Noches.

i only lost .4 pounds this week. but i'm still happy with it. i ate like i didn't know the meaning of the word diet last weekend. it was fabulous. although, if i'm being honest i still made healthy {er} choices. we went to legal seafood and instead of getting my typical fish and chips, i got chicken, steamed broccoli and mashed potatoes. then at not your average joe's i got a cheeseburger but instead of fries i got salad. :) which was really only to make me not feel bad about the three pieces of bread i had.
i still am on a work out hiatus. this cold sucks. it's just that lingering cough but that cough sends my asthma into a tizzy. so yeah. i'm gonna try some light working out today. we'll see how it goes. :)
love this pic. threw it in the "shake it" app on my phone.

My birthday! Happy birthday to me!
I'm one of the few people who can truly say is British since my Mum was Welsh, my Dad was a Scot and I was born in England on St Patrick's day which of course was on Monday of last week.
We do birthday's in a big way in our family so of course, in true Boofuls Towers stye, the celebrations started early with a party last Staurday for close family and friends. Funnily enough, it's never crossed my mind to have a St Patrick's themed party.
Instead we had a pirate themed party to get us in the mood for May's pirate festival in Brixham. Aaaaaaar. The pirates' provenance was a bit mixed with sea shanties from Cornwall, (miserable dirges they were, they lasted about two minutes before I put something more cheery on), Caribbean inspired food, cake, costumes and drinks along with a few eye patches, swords and hats and a lot of "Aaaaaarrrrrrr, ye scurvy dog" completed the theme.
One day we might put on a sophisticated soiree and surprise everyone. Nah, only kidding!
Sunday was a recovery day for most of the party goers. Me? I was annoyingly chipper having spent most of the previous evening on soft drinks. Boofuls and I went out to get some new curtains and rugs to give the house a bit of a lift for spring.
Monday. The big day! The day started with Boofuls bringing me a cup of coffee in bed and Douggie the doggie jumping on the bed and giving me a big sloppy kiss. Two minutes later I was holding his head ( Douggie's not Boofuls') over the waste bin to catch his vomit and prevent it going all over my brand new cream coloured bedroom carpet. I don't think the vomit was anything to do with the big sloppy kiss he gave me. I hope not, anyway.
Next up was lots of pressies and brekkie at at the new eating and drinking emporium in town with my bestie. Full English breakfast? Don't mind if I do! WE were absolutely gobsmacked to see people drinking actual achohol at 10.00 a.m. The venue was split into two definite parts. One part being the ladies who meet for coffee and men who meet for beer – and never the twain shall mix. We all stayed at our own end of the pub and looked across disdainfully at the other side.
Monday night, Boofuls went out to his club and I met some clients at work. Oh well, can't have everything.
On Tuesday I went with Douggie the doggie to a choreography session at our club. We are doing an exhibition for a local-ish charity soon and the club has been asked to do something special, so we're doing formation dancing for dogs. Cool!
Wednesday. Oh Wednesday. What a grim start to the day. The light at the end of the tunnel turned out to be the taxman's torch. Sigh. A nice tax demand took the edge of my celebrations but not for long.
On Wednesday afternoon I went to see a medium. Whether you believe in it all or not, I do. Fervently. Difficult not to when if you have to put a title onto yourself that title would be 'spiritualist'.
I'm not going to share anything that was said there – yet. I'm saving it for a big announcement to come soon (ooooooooh, exciting!!). All I will say is: Bloody hell, has she been stalking us and bugging our phones? This woman is gooood.
One of my birthday gifts from Boofuls was tickets to see Vincent Simone and Flavia Cacace in Dance 'till Dawn in Manchester. Funny, entertaining, amazing dancing, obviously. It was fabulous. Go and see it immediately! What? I now you're at the other side of the world. Don't make excuses, go and see it. It's worth it!
Thursday was a recovery day.
Friday was the day I've been waiting for. Lashes and I went to a spa for the day. It was a Christmas pressie from Boofuls and I've been saving it. What a fantastic day. I can cope with massages, facials, long, leisurely lunches and a bass or two of wine. What a fantastic day we had. Made even better by the fact that Boofuls dropped us off and picked us up o there was no driving involved. He and Len picked us up at the appointed time and then they took us to The Clog and Billycock for dinner.
What's theClog and Billycock?
It's a restaurant, not too far away from here that is owned by the well known chef Nigel Haworth. I've been wanting to go for some time, so we did.
You must go there, immediately. You can do it when you come to see Dance 'till Dawn. With it's deceptively simple menu and homely surroundings its a lovely place to spend and evening. I thought it would be a bit pretentious, I expected to see beluga caviar served on a sturgeon's fin nestling on a swan's left ear but it was exactly the opposite. Lovely simple, tasty and wholesome food. Good grief. I was so full I could hardly move.
You know the food is good when you are stuffed to the gunnels but when they ask if you want a dessert you say yes and eat every last bit of it. Last time I was that full was the 'nine puddings' incident in Hong Kong. I'll tell you about that another day. Here are a couple of photos for you. One of my Lancashire hotpot and one of my dessert, a lovely, light lemon possett.
They're alright these birthdays. Weeks like this I can deal with. Happy birthday. It certainly was. Thanks to everyone who made it all happen. Now then. Where are my elasticated trousers?

Climate in Bali
The best way to explain the climate and weather in Bali in a year period is based on traditional Caka Calendar. Each month (sasih) in this calendar has its own climate and weather characteristic. Balinese have used these climate and weather characteristics to determine the best time for cultivating the land or to perform a religious ceremony.
A year in the traditional Caka calendar consist of twelve months. Here are the months arranged in succession as follows Kasa, Karo, Katiga, Kapat, Kalima, Kenem, Kapitu, Kaulu, Kasanga, Kadasa, Jiyestha and Asada. The prefix of ka– in the first tenth months above refers to ordinal numbers. The first month (kasa) of the traditional Caka calendar corresponds to July. But they are not exactly the same since the traditional Caka calendar is a lunar calendar while the Gregorian is a solar one.
The climate and weather characteristic of Bali in a year period based on the traditional Caka calendar can be explain as follow:
Kasa, the first month in traditional Caka calendar usually falls in July. Windy is the characteristic of this month. The sky is clear, the temperature is good and the sea wind blows heavily to the land. The kite season is on; the sky of Bali will full with kites in various shape and color in this month.
[photopress:kites03.jpg,thumb,pp_image] [photopress:kites06.jpg,thumb,pp_image] [photopress:kites17.jpg,thumb,pp_image]
Karo, the second month in traditional Caka calendar usually falls in August. Karo (August) is the coldest month compare to the other month. The temperature is in the lowest level especially in the morning. It is quite warm during but the day during the night a thick blanket is needed.
Katiga, the third month in traditional Caka calendar usually falls in September. This is the driest and the hottest month in the traditional Caka calendar. Rain is almost impossible in this month but a sudden rain known as Blabur Katiga may seldom occur. Cloudless sky gives better opportunity to the sun to scorch earth. Dust is everywhere. The north wind begins to blow slowly, so slow, more like a breeze than a wind. At the beginning of Katiga (September), fallen leaves and dried grass are the dominant view in Bali but at the end of this month, after the sudden rain wet the land, the flower bud begin to appear and the grass begin to grow.
Kapat, the fourth month in traditional Caka calendar usually falls in October. Kapat is the springtime in Bali. Rain begins to pour, the blooming flowers are everywhere, green grass dominate the view in rural area. Balinese believes that this month is the best time for performing religious ceremony since the basic material for offering, flower and coconut leaves are abundant.
Kalima, the fifth month in traditional Caka calendar usually falls in November. This month is the transition from the dry season to rainy season. Clouds dominate the sky but the rain seldom falls. The weather is hot but the humidity is high, this combination makes an awful condition, many people get sick due to this condition. Insects especially the flies are everywhere.
Kanem, the sixth month in traditional Caka calendar usually falls in December. This month marked by the inconsistency of the weather. Rain falls occasionally especially during the night. During the day, the temperature is high but the clouds darken the sky, this situation makes people sweat profusely. The west wind begins to blow, brings plenty of rain for the next month.
Kapitu, the seventh month in traditional Caka calendar usually falls in January. At this time, the west wind from Asia brings rain and gale. The wind will blow mainly at night and accompanied by the torrent rain. Fallen trees or collapsed structures (most of them are the impermanent structures) are common phenomena in this month.
Kaulu, the eighth month in traditional Caka calendar usually falls in February. This is the month of wild wind and torrent rain. The turbulent wind of Kaulu (February) is much stronger than the wind of Kapitu (January). The strong wind of Kaulu (February) will create a turbulent sea and exceptionally high and strong waves.
Kasanga, the ninth month in traditional Caka calendar usually falls in March. This month is transition from rainy season to dry season. Dry wind begins to blow from Australia, increasing the temperature during the day. Rain and high wave occur occasionally. This month is the harvest time for the farmers.
Kadasa, the tenth month in traditional Caka calendar usually falls in April. Kadasa (April) is the clearest month in a year period. A clear sunny sky and clear starry night are the characteristics of the Kadasa (April). Strong and hot southeast wind increase the temperature and dissipate the rain.
Jiyestha, the eleventh month in traditional Caka calendar usually falls in May. The Balinese consider this month as bad month. The temperature is high due to strong and hot southeast wind that blows to the northeast. Sudden rain occur occasionally, this sudden rain increase the humidity and produces an awful condition when combines with raising temperature.
Asada, the twelfth month in traditional Caka calendar usually falls in June. In this month, the dry season begins to show its power. Sunny is the daily weather report in Bali during this month. The wind blows wildly not strong enough but unpredictable. Balinese consider Asada (June) bad month for every kind of ceremony.

Lattice Stix® wall sculpture installation
The project-planning and installation of this Lattice Stix® wooden wall sculpture at about 18 feet above the living room floor presented some interesting challenges, to say the least.
The instructions said that it takes about an hour to install the five sections of the structure. Based on the long, long night we had yesterday, I believe that even a normal-hight display would have taken at least twice that amount of time.
The reward: The completed installation creates an interesting focal point on this wall that would have otherwise not received any artwork.
You can find out more about this type of wall-art at http://www.latticestix.com/

But what causes one to brag? What is the root problem? It is pride in ourselves and in our own accomplishments. A truly humble heart would not even think to brag on her own accomplishments for she knows that the One working through her is the Lord. And that in and of herself, her "righteous deeds are like a filthy garment" (Isaiah 64:6). The apostle Paul in his letter to the Romans echoes this thought in quoting Psalm 14:1-3: " '. . . There is none who does good . . .' " (Romans 3:12). What does Christ say? " 'No one is good except God alone.' " (Mark 10:18). So as believers, any good that works through us, is because of our Savior, Jesus Christ, working in us through the Holy Spirit. With that in view, who should we direct our praise to? Should we try to bring glory to ourselves or to our Savior?
True love, the love of God, "does not brag" (1 Corinthians 13:4). The woman in Proverbs 31 is a shining example of this true and pure heart. She went about her normal activities working, serving, loving. Loving the Lord, loving her family and loving all those she came into contact with. Did she go about and seek praise? Did she laud her own accomplishments? No, she did not. What is said at the end of the chapter? "Give her the product of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates." (Proverbs 31:31). Let her works praise her. Our works, our labors, will speak about where our heart lies. Let others praise us for our works and not ourselves. And let us in our hearts (which can also be expressed verbally), direct the praise back to the Lord.

I am certainly no expert in SEO (Search Engine Optimization) but this little I know. If you would like to attract traffic to your site...
Choose a good title for your post for the keyword(s) you are targetting. This will provide the right meta tags for search engines (Google, Yahoo!, etc.) to locate your site/article and to place your article high up on SERPs (Search Engine Result Pages).
For example, I just posted about audio books with this title: Buying audio books online. I then performed a search on Google using the exact terms and guess what.
