I welcome suggested articles, so if you come across a gem, email it to me at email@example.com.
This week's homework!
The Pupil in the Middle of Your Eye
This article by former Queensland Director of Primary Education Phil Cullen is a must read for all teachers.
"So…since learning is institutionalised in schools, pupils need to know why they are at school and what sort of relationship is intended during the schooling efforts. Too often do we overlook this. Children believe that they go to school only because someone says that they have to go. The excitement of learning has been understated. We teach in the schools because we are more expert at the teaching act than other people in the community and we want to honour the contract of helping children to learn how to learn."
Chile's Charter School Experiment is Almost Over
So is New Zealand's, it seems. Yesterday the Minister of Education advised that no new charter school applications will be sought for the rest of this year.
"This week Chile ended the education sector experiment started in the 1980s by dictator Pinochet that had led to, by 2014, around 60% of the nation's schools becoming charter schools. Like Thatcher and Reagan, Pinochet was a devotee of Milton Friedman's free market ideology (one that the National Party of New Zealand follows, too), and deregulating schools is key to that ideology."
What Do We Really Mean When We Say 'Personalized Learning'?
Good points made here – what teachers mean by personalized learning is different from what Pearson Group, et al, mean.
'"We often say we want creativity and innovation – personalization – but every mechanism we use to measure it is through control and compliance," Laufenberg said. "Those things never come together as long as that is the overriding moment." She cautions educators who may be excited about the progressive educational implications for "personalized learning" to make sure everyone they work with is on the same page about what that phrase means.'
Home readers for school kids often wasted learning opportunity, expert warns
Food for thought …
'Lecturer in literacy education at the University of Canberra Ryan Spencer told 666 ABC Canberra the home reader routine was a wasted learning opportunity if the student was disengaged.
"If they don't have interest or excitement, or if there's no motivation to read that book, it just becomes an onerous task," he said.
"Reluctant readers take [their readers] home because they have to and the teacher has chosen it.
"But by the time they get home, the last thing they want to do is read this book that they've already read at school that day."'
Ten things you need to know about international assessments
Lots of information here, with this quote being very pertinent.
"These assessments were never intended to line up and rank nations against each other like baseball standings.
That's right. The statisticians and psychometricians who dreamed up these assessments 50 years ago stated explicitly that the question of whether "the children of country X [are] better educated that those of country Y" was "a false question" due to the innumerable social, cultural, and economic differences among nations. But, hey, that's just a detail."
One-Size-Fits-All Testing Isn't What Our Kids Need To Succeed
The message is slowly disseminating.
"What are the skill sets that we as a society see as necessary for the future success of our children? What kind of future do we want to be shaping? Do we want well-rounded children who grow up with exposure to the arts, culture, and music? Or do we want over-tested, over-stressed children who see only the importance of achieving academic growth? Are we looking to provide our children with the skills that are necessary to instill a sense of morals, coping skills, and human compassion? Or do we continue to narrow down the focus of academics to what can be measured on a standardized test, and use that as a predictor for future success?"
The Heavy Hitters Behind a Fund Focused on K-12 Blended Learning
For all you ……….. (insert descriptor of choice) who are buying into the propaganda about blended learning, I suggest you read this blog by Susan Ohanian to see who is behind it.
"Surprise. Surprise. Look at who's behind Blended Learning."Blended" is, of course, a diversionary term to distract from the fact that this system of computer-directed instruction should actually be termed, at best, teacher-lite–and, at worst, teacher dumped."
Why technology will never replace teachers
Here's a gem from Steve Wheeler:
"When children act unexpectedly, or demand support that requires intuition, only a human teacher who knows that child can support them effectively. Comparatively, the human brain is highly complex, while the computer is a very simple tool. We are only just beginning to understand some aspects of the human brain, whereas computers are fully understandable, because they have been designed by human ingenuity."
'You have made us the enemy. This is personal.'
Seven New York State teachers write an open letter to Governor Cuomo.
"We are teachers. We have given our hearts and souls to this noble profession. We have pursued intellectual rigor. We have fed students who were hungry. We have celebrated at student weddings and wept at student funerals. Education is our life. For this, you have made us the enemy. This is personal."
This week's contributions from Bruce Hammonds:
Keeping alive the spirit of John Dewey
Bruce's latest blog article which includes this sobering comment: "The student centred ideas of John Dewey have, it seems, all been lost in the country of his birth." That's a tragic state of affairs.
"John Dewey believed that the need to learn, to make sense of ones experience was the inborn innate way humans learn – until they reach formal schooling. One of his key phrases was that 'children are people, they grow into tomorrow only as they live today'. Culture counts – for better or worse."
Using Old Tech (Not Edtech) to Teach Thinking Skills
Bruce's comment: Making full use of 'old tech' thinking skills with modern technology
"I've viewed classroom technology as the means to sharing knowledge, in addition to acquiring or manipulating it. Yet I find that not only has the computer itself become something of a distraction, but the students aren't making enough use of the tech's "share-ability" — that is, they struggle to work effectively together on it, and to have their ideas cohere in an intelligible way. It occurred to me that co-editing in a Google Doc is a skill that itself needs to be taught and practiced before it can become effective in the classroom."
Perspectives / Five Myths About School Improvement
Bruce's comment: Many schools subscribe to the ASCD magazine Educational Leadership – this latest editorial will give you a taste. There are some good links to explore.
"Indeed, even those who advocate disparate visions about "what works" most likely would concur that there is no panacea that will help all schools all the time. David Berliner and Gene Glass tell why contexts matter in the social sciences. They describe the problems with replicability, transfer, and fading effects of single reforms, but they do not conclude that the reform process is a waste of time."
How We Make Progress
Bruce's comment: Too much of our teaching is based on linear thinking – but it seems our learning is not as simple. Well worth the read. I have aways thought that learning was spiral shaped , ever upwards, but at times regressing. Another great read from Anne Murphy.
"This is not an orderly ascension up an ever-rising set of steps. It's something more like waves on a beach, where one wave overtakes another and then pulls back, overtaken in turn by another advancing and then receding wave. "Overlapping waves" is, in fact, the name of a theory of intellectual development proposed by Robert Siegler, a professor of cognitive psychology at Carnegie Mellon University."
From Bruce's 'oldies but goodies' file:
Dysfunctional Schools
Bruce's observations on Kirsten Olsen's book "'Wounded by School-recapturing the Joy in Learning and Standing up to the Old School Culture"
"I don't think teachers like to face up to the fact that schooling actually harms many of their students but it is clear , reading Kirsten's Olsen book, it does. Obviously this harming is not done intentionally but it is all too easy to blame failure on dysfunctional students. Certainly too few students leave school with their joy of learning alive and their unique gifts and talents strengthened – not even the so called successful students."
On Knowing – Jerome Bruner
Bruce's comment: My favourite quote from Bruner is ' teaching is the canny art of intellectual temptation'.Today we have those (usually politicians) who wish to test for learning ignoring, according to Bruner, that 'it is difficult to catch and record, no less understand, the swift flight of man's mind operating at its best'.
"The themes Jerome Bruner covers in his book concern the process of knowing, how knowing is shaped and how it in turn gives form to language science, literature and art. The symbolism of the left hand is that of the dreamer – the right that of the practical doer.The areas of hunches and intuition, Bruner writes, has been all too often overwhelmed by an 'imposed fetish of objectivity'…'"

The World Scout Jamboree – An International Scouting Tradition
September 8, 2014 by wilsonneelynyc
Since its creation in 1907, the Scouting program has become an international movement aimed at reaching young men and boys all over the globe. To this end, the founder, Robert Baden-Powell, organized international gatherings, which today exist as the regular World Scout Jamborees.
As with any international movement, Scouts have had to bend their plans for worldwide events and conflicts. The first Jamboree was planned for the 10-year anniversary of Scouting, but the outbreak of World War I led to a delay. Instead of 1917, the first World Scout Jamboree occurred in 1920, in Kensington, London.
Since the first Jamboree, follow-up events have occurred roughly every four years. Countries including Hungary, Denmark, the Philippines, and Chile have played host to the gathering. While some Jamborees have been beset by difficulties, such as the typhoon that disrupted the 13th World Scout Jamboree in Japan, it continues to be a proud tradition, with future Jamborees planned in Japan and the United States for 2015 and 2019.

1951: Construction underway at Himatangi (see our photo collection)
1953: Himatangi Radio opens
The Himatangi Radio control console was installed in a central position in the transmitting hall adjacent to the two London telephone and telegraph transmitters. It allowed the operating technician to gain instant access to the input line of each of the various transmitters as well as a sample of the radio frequency output from each transmitter – an essential feature when it came to circuit assessment or fault diagnosis.
The above photograph shows the control console manned by a technician on shift duty. The jack field and drop cords allowed him access to the input traffic line to each transmitter while the adjacent volume indicator showed the input level of signal from the particular remote traffic terminal.
The left hand units allowed a sample of the radio frequency output from each transmitter to be monitored for transmission quality and level. Two telephone dials allowed him access to the remote traffic terminals in Wellington and to the local PABX telephone exchange, while all circuit events were recorded in the station log book using world wide Greenwich Mean Time.
In the background can be seen the individual cabinets of the 50 kilowatt London telegraph transmitter.
A transmitter was installed for the new radiotelegraph and telephone service to Vancouver. The Marconi HS51 had a rated output of 32 kilowatts PEP on single sideband. This transmitter occupied considerable floor area and required a separate automatic fire-protected sealed room to house its high current rectifiers and power transformers.
A notable feature of the HS51 transmitter was the final output valve Marconi Type BR161. This impressive looking valve was a forced air-cooled triode fitted with a compact array of welded copper cooling fins and requiring forced air cooling at a volume of 20 cubic feet per minute. This air flow had to be started before the application of any supply voltage to the valve and continued for at least one minute after the supply voltages had been removed.
The operating conditions for the BR161 as an R.F. amplifier were as follows:
Filament voltage: 9 volts
Filament current: 175 amperes
Anode voltage: 12,000 Volts
Anode power: 15 kilowatts
Weight: 56 lb (26 kg)
Cost: £450
At no time during the switching on process was the filament current to exceed 450 amperes.

Study to be patient in bearing the defects of others, and their infirmities be they what they may; for thou hast many things, which others must bear withal. If thou canst not make thyself what thou wouldst be, how can thou expect to have another so exactly to thy mind?
Thomas a Kempis
Oh. Ouch. I guess it must be a pathetic universal truth that we all expect others to be perfect while we ourselves are rather rotten to the very core of our being. And do we find it our bound and duty to be sure to tell the imperfections of others? Oh my. In our own personal state of rotteness it seems others just might look pretty good, if we would let our pride go for a minute or two. Perhaps we should consider forgiving the little imperfections of others and concentrate a little more on ridding ourselves of some imperfection in ourselves.
Oh but he's a *murderer*! We are better than that!
Oh but what about our lashing tongue which is a weapon that wounds and destroys the good name! Oh but what about our bitter heart which destroys one's own peace and becomes a poison to others!
Oh but he's a *murderer*! We are better than that!
How often do we lie to ourselves about or own goodness?
Oh but that speck in others' eyes.... is much larger than the log in my own....!
But because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold, not hot, I will begin to vomit thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest: I am rich, and made wealthy, and have need of nothing: and knowest not, that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked. I counsel thee to buy of me gold fire tried, that thou mayest be made rich; and mayest be clothed in white garments, and that the shame of thy nakedness may not appear; and anoint thy eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. Such as I love, I rebuke and chastise. Be zealous therefore, and do penance.Revelations 3:16-18
Oh. Ouch.

I heard an interesting exchange on the Laura Ingraham Show a few nights ago. A caller suggested that the "mantra" for Republicans should be "Restore". We should restore the government to what was intended by the US Constitution. Laura took it a step further and suggested the mantra should be "Reclaim [Congress], Reform [Government] and [then] Restore.
Although I think those ideas are appropriate, there is really only one thing that everyone needs to focus on and that is "RECLAIM". If that doesn't happen, then the rest of the three are moot!
The argument is all about how Republicans are going to reclaim the majority in Congress. I have to say, I agree with Rush when he says "TEACH"! Instead of listening tours and worrying about what the liberals are saying should happen, we need to engage people in the conversation regarding constitutionalism.
Unfortunately, the only way we will be able to "reclaim" anything is through an existing political party. In other words, we have to first "reclaim" the Republican Party! I disagree with this so-called committee that wants to define a "New America". What the hell is wrong with the old one? The one that I grew up with before all the libs took over Washington and turned it into a cesspool of "special interests"?
Let's take things one step at a time. We need to reclaim the Republican Party and remake it as the party of (1) Pro-Federalism, (2) Pro-Capitalism and (3) Pro-Individualism. Those three foundational elements will help establish everything else that's worth fighting for: a strong defense, a respect for life and a respect for the rule of law.
Your thoughts?

The Rapture of the Nerds -- have you heard of it?
They say it's coming. They don't agree what it looks like, but the nerds say it's coming. One camp says that the machines will deliver us with artificial technology. The other says that the machines will be our physical servitors and lead us into a bright future where they will fix poverty, sickness, war, illness, injury... you name it. It will not be a pierced carpenter's hand, but a silicone and steel one that wipes every tear from your eye.
The singularity is coming. Technology is getting better. Soon, we'll have computers that give birth to better computers and code that gives rise to even more elegant code. Repent, for the Kingdom of Machines is near!
God, that sounds absolutely ridiculous.
It sounds as ridiculous as what so many Christians are waiting for.
You see, one of the hardest things about my faith is the decrepit, the frail, the overweight, the one that suffers from back problems and the one that suffers from knee problems, those that wait for a future moment of fixing. One day God will come and there'll be no crying or hardship anymore.
Have you ever seen something so unusual? A Christ-follower who has come to hate heaven.
Or at least, the version that these machine-masturbators and cloud-watchers both wait for.
What is it that makes me so upset about these mirror groups? It's their assessment of the problem. To them, the problem lays in the fact that life is hard. That life requires work. And for your work, life will often reward you with failure. That it will give you lots of failure for a lot of your effort. Every now and then, life will give you a success here or there. And not only that, life often seems to reward your enemies. People who seem to get everything so easily while you work so hard for the little you have... IT'S NOT FAIR!
It's hard for me to imagine a more depraved disposition. To me, there is nothing more depraved than giving up on your own life and nothing says surrender more than to stop looking at the present in favor of only looking to the future.
It truly sickens me to the core that so many preachers preach this from the pulpit. This is just passing, temporary, ergo, it is worthless. Do good and wait to die. The stench that such a group gives off is the smell of souls rotting while living.
Instead of fighting to the end with the cards that they've been dealt, these people seem to wait for the cards to somehow change. In heaven, everyone gets a robot side-kick and robot boots. Or mansions and streets lined with gold. Wealth that you didn't have to work for, sacrifice for, the product of a great mind and an intrepid spirit can be yours without having to have a great mind or intrepid spirit yourself. This absurd sense of entitlement is what deeply saddens me.
Look at the video below. I found it through Ross Enamait, and it illustrates to me, an admirable spirit. You know what continually frustrates me about the world we live in? It's wrong to say to fat people, "You're fat." We can't say to the weak, "You're weak." As if not pointing out a weakness would make it somehow less true. At the bottom of this post is a man who acknowledges the fact that he has crippled legs, but he has never let it remain that way.
"I'm not a porcelain doll. If you hurt me, I'm gonna get back up."
"I'm not going to lay down for you. If you put me down, then you put me down."
This is a spirit worth having! Don't wait for the bar to come down lower, teach your legs to jump higher! Don't wait for a mythical telos to arrive and everything to magically be OK, roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty! Don't worry about the great world of things that you can't do, focus on what you can do and then do it. If you can only take small steps, then take small steps. Sure, you have only a small chance of making it to your goal if you take small steps but that's infinitely better than having no chance of getting there.
Where are those brave and intrepid souls who aren't afraid to give it all they got and come out looking like a fool? Where are the pioneering spirits that are willing to work and struggle?

NAMIBIAN eye specialist Dr Helena Ndume was crowned winner at the New African awards 2017 held at Dakar, Senegal, last Wednesday.
Ndume is renowned for her voluntary work giving free eye treatments which have impacted more than 30 000 people over the years. The New African awards, now in their second year, recognise, celebrate and honour African women who have had exceptional impact and influenced change in their countries or communities over the past 12 months.
A press release issued by the awards committee announced that Ndume, a pioneering ophthalmologist and cataract surgeon, had won the award for women in health, science and technology, at a glitzy gala dinner in Dakar.
Ndume was quoted by Reuters saying after being crowned winner: "I hope our successes will encourage many girls and young women to aspire to work in vital sectors like science, health, engineering and technology."
A total of 12 women from Mali, Morocco and Zimbabwe among other countries, were honoured at the ceremony hosted by the New African Woman magazine.
Fatoumata Tambajang, Gambia's new vice president and the architect of an opposition coalition that helped president Adama Barrow defeat long- time ruler Yahya Jammeh in the December presidential election, won the woman of the year award.
Ndume recently also received the first United Nations Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela prize - named after the late South African president and liberation icon - which honours one man and one woman who have dedicated their lives to serving others.
Ndume's motivation to serve those less fortunate than her stems from her past as a liberation era refugee. Forced to flee her homeland at the age of 15, she lived in Zambia, the Gambia and Angola, before graduating from the University of Leipzig Medical School in Germany.
She joined SEE International's roster of over 650 volunteer eye surgeons in 1995.
She has dedicated her life and career to treating blindness and low-vision, both in Namibia and throughout the developing world. Many of her former patients refer to her as 'the miracle doctor'. In 2004 the Namibian government honoured her with a Grand Commander of the Order of Namibia, First Class award.

March 25, 1976
[5] DELWIN C. POTTER, Appellant, v. BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, CLARK COUNTY, NEVADA, Respondent.
[6] Appeal from order of district court dismissing petition for writ of certiorari; Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Paul S. Goldman, Judge.
[7] Township Justice of the Peace sought review by certiorari of Board of County Commissioner's declaring his office vacant after his conviction in federal court of willfully making and subscribing a false income tax return. The district court upheld the Board's action and Justice of the Peace appealed. The Supreme Court, Thompson, J., held that where the Justice of the Peace was convicted of a felony, he was disqualified from holding office, and it was of no consequence that his conviction was upon a plea of nolo contendere
[8] [92 Nev. 153, Page 154]
[9] , rather than under a plea of guilty or under an adjudication of guilt after a plea of not guilty. Affirmed.
[Rehearing denied April 21, 1976]
Peter L. Flangas, of Las Vegas, for Appellant.
George E. Holt, District Attorney, and Thomas R. Severns, Deputy District Attorney, Clark County, for Respondent.
Justices of the Peace. Where Justice of the Peace was convicted of felony, he was disqualified from holding office, and it was of no consequence that his conviction was under plea of nolo contendere, rather than under plea of guilty or under adjudication of guilt after plea of not guilty. Const. art. 2, S 1; art. 15, S 3; NRS 197.230, 245.140, 283.040.
By the Court, Thompson, J.:
Upon a plea of nolo contendere, the Nevada Federal Court convicted Delwin C. Potter of the felony of willfully making and subscribing a false income tax return in violation of 26 U.S.C. S 7206(1). Potter then held the office of Justice of the Peace, Henderson Township. By reason of that conviction, the County Clerk of Clark County certified to the Board of County Commissioners that the office of Justice of the Peace was vacant, and the Board thereupon declared the office vacant. It was the Clerk's duty to so certify, and the duty of the Board to so declare. 1 By certiorari Potter unsuccessfully sought review of the Board's action by the district
[92 Nev. 153, Page 155]
court, and now has appealed to us. We affirm. It is his contention that his plea of nolo contendere to the felony charge somehow alters the consequences attending his conviction upon that plea. For the purposes of our law concerning vacancy in a public office, no distinction is drawn between a conviction under a plea of nolo contendere on the one hand, and a conviction under a plea of guilty, or an adjudication of guilt after a plea of not guilty, on the other. It is the conviction of guilt rather than any admission or absence thereof to be implied from the plea that is the disqualifying factor. Sokoloff v. Saxbe, 501 F.2d 571 (2 Cir., 1974); In re Eaton, 152 N.E.2d 850 (Ill. 1958); Kravis v. Hock, 54 A.2d 778 (N.J. 1947); State v. Fousek, 8 P.2d 795 (Mont. 1932). Other claimed errors possess no merit.

I decided a few months ago that come summer, I would go ahead and cut all the remaining brown off and get a pixie cut. I don't love it, and I think Bill hates it, but now the brown is totally gone. I'm going to commit to the gray for one year before I decide to keep it natural, but I think the cut isn't right. But I did it!

Hair update
This is my 3rd update post from the bathroom during bath. Not much setting but the lighting is consistent. I post after my haircuts so you can really see the progress. I think in 2 cuts the brown will be gone.

Hair Update - 4 Months
Well, here we are at month 4. People are starting to notice which is funny since it has seemed terribly obvious for about 2 months. It is more obvious now that I chopped my hair. I like the pixie cut a lot but I'm not sure it is the cut I wanted. I'm going to wear it for awhile and maybe cut more next time. It is coming in very silver in the top, but apparently is still fairly brown in the back. I can't really see it. My stylist has assured me we can start coloring it if I want and I don't know her well enough to know if she's saying that because she thinks it looks bad or because she wants the money. I've really only gotten good feedback so I think it is the latter.
Cheers to silver hair!

Junk Salad
I hate chopping lettuce for salad. I made this up for my family at Christmas and I love all the veggies. You could make tons of substitutions and omit the lettuce it you want. The curried chick peas make the salad.
1 can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
1-2 teaspoons curry powder
1 tablespoon oil
Salt and pepper
1 head romaine lettuce
1 red pepper
1 cucumber
1/2 pint cherry tomatoes
1/2 bunch flat leaf parsley
2-3 stalks celery
1/2 red onion
2 ounces chopped almonds
Heat oil in small skillet. Add garbanzo beans, curry powder, salt and pepper. Toss and toast,
Chop all vegetables in similar size and put in large bowl with garbanzo beans. Toss with balsamic dressing of choice.

Caramel Apple Pie
Caramel Apple Pie
3 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups shortening (NOT butter)
1 beaten egg
5 tablespoons ice water
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
To make crust:
1. Cut shortening into flour until well blended.
2. Add egg, water, vinegar and salt and lightly toss with a fork until it just comes together.
3. Lightly work dough into a ball and divide into 3 pieces.
4. Form balls into disks and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
5. You will need 2 disks for this pie. Not sure how long the third disk will last in the freezer.
7-8 apples, mixed variety, peeled and sliced thin. (I used Grannie Smith and Pink Lady.)
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons flour
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup milk (I used 2%)
1/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
To make filling:
In a small saucepan, combine sugars, flour, butter, milk, water and salt and allow to melt together. Bring to a boil and stir often. Boil around 3 minutes. Turn off heat and stir occasionally while it cools and you prepare the apples.
Prepare apples. Pour in sauce over apples and stir to combine.
Roll out bottom crust and lay in pie plate. Fill with apples. Roll out top crust and lay over pie. Tuck edges under and flute. Cut several one inch vents in the top of pie. Foil the edges of the pie and put on a cookie sheet. Bake in 350 degree oven for 60-70 minutes and remove foil. Bake long enough to brown the top.
Let the pie cool at least an hour. If you cut into it sooner the liquid spills all over. It sets up really nice after about an hour.

Update-3 months
Just got my hair cut! I think the next cut will be similar but the one after I'm going for the pixie. Kind of exciting.
I'm on month three of grow out and so far it doesn't bother me that much. I think it is going to come in pretty silver, which is good because I'd probably chicken out if it was white or yellowish.
Anyway, enjoy the pic Universe!

It is a little funny to think about blogging right now when it has been over a year and a half since my last post. I've decided to continue this blog but with a different focus. And I'm going to start with something fun, and kind of weird. I've decided to let my hair go back to its natural color, which is not dark brown like everyone thinks that rather completely and totally grey.
I made the decision because I've been totally grey for a long time, since my early thirties, and the idea of not dying my hair anymore or stressing out about it is so liberating.
I have a little bit of grow out, but I really just made the decision about a month ago. I've returned to the salon, and I'm working with a stylist to make the transition a little less obvious.
Here is the first photo. Our original plan was to use temporary color but it didn't really take. We may try highlights next.

Irak, Ukraina och så ännu ett lömskt sk handelsavtal!
William Engdahl – ISIS in Iraq stinks of CIA/NATO 'dirty war' op
Key members of ISIS it now emerges were trained by US CIA and Special Forces command at a secret camp in Jordan in 2012, according to informed Jordanian officials. The US, Turkish and Jordanian intelligence were running a training base for the Syrian rebels in the Jordanian town of Safawi in the country's northern desert region, conveniently near the borders to both Syria and Iraq. Saudi Arabia and Qatar, the two Gulf monarchies most involved in funding the war against Syria's Assad, financed the Jordan ISIS training.
Very revealing is the fact that almost two weeks after the dramatic fall of Mosul and the 'capture' by ISIS forces of the huge weapons and military vehicle resources provided by the US to the Iraqi army. Washington has done virtually nothing but make a few silly speeches about their 'concern' and dispatch 275 US special forces to allegedly protect US personnel in Iraq.
Whatever the final details that emerge, what is clear in the days since the fall of Mosul is that some of the world's largest oilfields in Iraq are suddenly held by Jihadists and no longer by an Iraqi government determined to increase the oil export significantly.

Andrew Korybko – Ethnic and cultural cleansing in Ukraine
While the president of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko, has just inked an agreement with the leaders of the Donbas People's Republic, Andrew Korybko dwells on the reasons for the uprising: it is not simply a question of refusing to recognize the coup government in Kiev, but an attempt to ward off an official project entailing the ethnic cleansing of the Russian-speaking populations.
This flagrant violation of fundamental human rights is being absolutely ignored by Western governments, which are usually the first actors to prematurely blow the whistle on any suspected human rights violations and threaten military intervention. It is now seen that the human intervention/responsibility to protect (HI/R2P) rhetoric and slogans were nothing more than charades to pursue ulterior geopolitical purposes. In fact, contrary to their established HI/R2P "credentials", the West, particularly the US, is actually aiding and abetting the Kievan regime that plans to carry out the cleansing [5]. Military advisors, millions in funds, and CIA and FBI support have flooded into Ukraine since the coup, and more than likely, they will all be directed eastwards towards violently suppressing the federalist protesters

Manny Pacquiao says he loves and supports gays and lesbians, even though he does not approve of gay marriage.
The world champion boxer and Filipino congressman has been criticized ever since he was quoted in an interview on the examiner.com website saying he opposed President Barack Obama's support for gay marriage.
Pacquiao said Wednesday in an interview with The Associated Press that he doesn't support gay marriage because of his Roman Catholic beliefs. But he said he has gay friends and relatives, and supports their rights.

Is there such a thing as a clear headrest for the front seats, that I can see through?
I have a lot of trouble seeing alongside and behind my car when I'm driving, or even backing out of the driveway. The front passenger headrest blocks my view. A clear headrest would solve my problem. Is there any such thing?
6 Answers
no there isn't but there are bike rider's helmets with rear view mirrors on them so you can see behind you while still looking in front of you!
understand your concern about visibility, but do not consider removing them. Whiplash can leave your passenger paraplegic
Booster seat, or a cushion. 're mount The seat higher .
Volvo and some other makes have donut hollow center,check wrecker yard, may well fit
Move the front passenger seat more forward or backward to help. That's unless someone is sitting in it.
Cheapest fix is to get some convex stick-on spot mirrors for your side mirrors. These are pretty effective at eliminating blind spots. There are also many car stereos now days with backup camera kits. Easy for the DIY'er, or not expensive at your local car stereo shop.

How to Train Your Dragon
It's a cute movie. I saw it once before and now, thanks to my laptop, it can travel with us and be played over...and over...and over again. (When he finds something he likes, he sticks with it.)
Needless to say, with many hours resting and recovering this week, I've truly lost count at how many times I've watched Hiccup learn how to train dragons. I think I might be ready to try my hand at dragon training...
In my case, I'm looking for the movie (or book) on how to train my 4-year-old, who, believe it or not, at times can resemble a fire-breathing, nostrils-flared, temper-tantrum-throwing dragon. In true "E" fashion, I share with you more of his "E'isms."
Tonight I stepped into a tub of water exclaiming, "E! Why did you leave water in the middle of the floor." To which he responded, "Mom! Why did you step in the middle of my turtle's tank?" Excuse me.
This morning he got in trouble for saying the word "Shut-up" - twice. Two spankings were my immediate response. He huffed and "growled" at me (yes, growled) and said, "I'm frustrated at you because I just wanted you to be quiet so I could hear my movie!" And so I reminded him, "Then simply use the words be quiet." He reasoned, "But you wouldn't have listened to me." Hmph.
His affectionate and loving ways never cease to amaze me, and after getting sick yet again today, he asked "Mom, are you happy at me?" Wanting to reassure him, I confirmed I was happy with him just sad that he wasn't feeling well. He made sure I knew, "I'm happy at you, mom!"
In yet another moment I never want to forget he says, "Look at me!" and he's beaming from cheek to cheek. "Look at my dimple!" I always tell him how much I love his dimple - and then I plant one right on it! I just know in a few years he'll be running the opposite direction when I come anywhere near to kiss or hug him.
Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it. ~Proverbs 22:6
In order for me to train him up in the way he should go, I must first seek the Lord in the way I should go.
I wonder how many times He looks down at me, nostrils flared from anger, throwing a tantrum when I don't get my way, breathing firey words instead of sharing words of kindness and love. In those moments I can't imagine He is any kind of happy at me.
His promises are true, though, and despite my scaley exterior and fire-breathing attitude, He continues to want to smile at me and show me His love. Often times He has to scream at me to get my attention. Just when I think He's messing up my plans, I realize He has a different set all of His own. Our perspectives vary greatly, but I'm thankful He's not finished with me yet.
I cry out to God Most High, to God, who fulfills His purpose for me. ~Psalm 57:2
I am His child and He's still investing and pouring into me so that His purposes might be fulfilled in my life. And following in this example, I seek to invest and pour into this little 4 year old, who may resemble a miniature version of a fire-breathing dragon, but I'm sure it's only because he's learned by example, too.
It's dragon-training time!
It's dragon-training time!

I am honestly loving COS right now, I know it wouldn't seem the type of clothing company I would be into however I have such lust over their clean cut lines and extremely simple clothing. So modern and so chic! Of course their prices are slightly higher than (only slightly), lets say, some high-street shops. However, considering the quality and staple look of each item, I would say the prices are well worth it for a timeless piece. I am hoping to soon own my very first COS item, however we'll see how it goes because I may not be getting one for a little while yet! Still, doesn't mean I can't flood you all with some images of their beautiful threads:

I'd hid in the guesthouse for part of yesterday, self-imprisoned, asleep or working with the a/c on.
I'd been overwhelmed by my new "friends," the kids who wanted to sell me something. Ali had suggested that I never walk with them, because they would believe they were making progress. Instead, he thought I should stand still and firmly say "La, shukran" until they got the point. (No, thank you.)
It worked but it made going anywhere a bit difficult. I had to spend several minutes per kid, standing there convincing them that I had no intention of accompanying them to any shop.
But the next morning, I sheepishly laughed at my overreaction. I know a thing or two about handling touts. Surely a few kids trying to make a buck or two shouldn't intimidate me. Ha.
"What are you going to do today?" I was sitting with Josephine again in the morning.
"I thought I'd go to Volulibis. Just on public transport, I mean. The going rate for a private driver is 800 dirhams."
"Normally, more people are staying here and you can split the cost," she explained. But I was fine with having an entire restored Fez house to myself. Really. Not a problem.
You might remember that I'd passed Volulibis, or Walili as it's known locally, while taking shared taxis to Fez from Chefchaouen. I hadn't been able to see much of these Roman ruins from the road, so was interested in getting back and checking it out.
I walked up to the main bab (gate) and hailed a taxi. 10 dirhams from the Medina to the gare (train station). 18 more dirhams for my train ticket to Meknes.
There were loads of empty seats so I was surprised when a young man sat down directly in front of me, in the seat facing mine. I was reading but when I looked up, I noticed that he had no luggage and no reading material. He was starting right at me.
Here we go.
I ignored him until finally he said "Where are you from?"
"New York, but I live in Kuwait." I learned back in Nairobi, when I lived in Uganda, that telling touts that you live somewhere unexpected throws off their game.
"You going to Marrakesh?"
I'd heard about hotel touts boarding the trains.
"No," I allowed myself a smug smile. "Meknes." I was only going to be on the train for 40 minutes.
He got up and left. Not so much as a good-bye.
At Meknes' El-Amir station, I caught a metered taxi (another 5 dirhams) to the grand taxis bound for Moulay Idriss. It's an easy walk, and I walked the reverse later, but from the map I wasn't sure how far away the grand taxis were.
"Moulay Idriss." I arrived at the grand taxi stand and informed the attendant of my destination. "Deux places." I wanted the front seat this time. 20 dirhams.
He nodded and put me in the front seat of an old Mercedes. Four men squeezed into the back seat and we were off. We stopped along the way and let one man out but the other three went to Moulay Idriss with me.
Moulay Idriss was another whitewashed mountain town. I negotiated with three drivers once I got there, but I still ended up paying 100 dirhams, more than twice the book's listed rate for a ride and back (with an hour waiting) to Wallili.
Here are some photos of Wallili/Volulibis.

Hendrickson Publishing Acquisition of Rose Publishing
The press release cited below is actually dated February 17th, but the thing I find interesting about this story is that Rose/Legacy Publishing is located in Carson, California, which if I remember correctly is on the border between Los Angeles County and Orange County, and Hendrickson is at the opposite end of the country in the Greater Boston Area. Will Rose eventually be relocated to the east coast? Guess we'll have to stay tuned.
I like both companies. Even in a small(er) store like ours, the re-order rate on the Legacy kids devotionals, the Rose pamphlets and the June Hunt booklet series is high. And Hendrickson always offers good value titles.
Gretchen Goldsmith, President and CEO of Rose Publishing, announced that she has sold her ownership of the company to Hendrickson Publishers. Effective immediately, this significant and exciting change allows Hendrickson Publishers to play a role in shepherding the continued legacy of Rose Publishing forward into the future.
Goldsmith and John Ribeiro, Executive Vice President and CFO of Rose Publishing, will continue to be involved with the company in various capacities, and look forward to working with the team at Hendrickson Publishers to ensure their products continue to thrive. Goldsmith chose Hendrickson Publishers due to their commitment to the message of the Gospel, their integrity as a publisher, their promotion of basic easy-to-understand Christian material, and their love for Rose Publishing's products.
"Rose Publishing and Hendrickson Publishers are complementary organizations with similar goals and values," says Goldsmith. "I anticipate this relationship will strengthen the mission of each as we move forward with shared vision for the future."
"She is a true visionary," says Ray Hendrickson, President and CEO of Hendrickson Publishers, of Goldsmith. "Her cumulative wisdom and understanding of the Christian publishing market will serve us well as we transition, and we look forward to learning much from her and the Rose Publishing team."
The Rose Publishing name, brand, and mission will continue under the leadership and vision of Paul Hendrickson, General Manager at Hendrickson Publishers. (This includes the two additional imprints Aspire Press and RoseKidz.) He does not anticipate that production of current Rose Publishing, Aspire Press, or RoseKidz products will slow down during this transition.
For those who don't know, the Hendrickson family also has a little business on the side called Christian Book Distributors. If you've never heard of it, keep reading, because sometimes their advertising pops up on this free WordPress blog. (And on my store's blog as well, which is a more serious issue!)

On December 16, 2008 a shoe thrown instantly received praise as the new discus of GLOBAL dissent. See Mid East press glee at shoe throw
"During his first year TOMS owner, Blake Mycosie, sold 10,000 pairs of shoes, and Blake returned to Argentina to lead his first annual Shoe Drop during which he donated to the children who had inspired him.* This November Blake will travel to Africa where he will be giving back over 50,000 pairs of TOMS."
*In 2006, a rope-soled shoe, alpargarta, and the poverty and health issues in the country who owns it, Argentina, inspired TOMS misson:
"Make life more comfortable for those without shoes."
One would think the first out the door with praise for TOMS would be goodwill ambassadors; however, the Fashion Industry Shaper, Vogue, was the first to sing TOMS praise.

Cop To African American Woman: Blacks Have "Violent Tendencies"Leave a comment
July 23, 2016 by socialaction2014
An African American women was slammed to the ground and arrested by a police officer, and she asked him why everyone was afraid of black people. His answer was pretty shocking. Brett Erlich, Grace Baldridge, and Hasan Piker, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Dash cam footage surfaced Thursday of a white Austin, Texas, police officer violently arresting Breaion King, a black elementary school teacher, in 2015. The video shows the officer, identified by the Austin American-Statesman as Bryan Richter, throwing King to the ground twice at a traffic stop.
According to the Austin American-Statesman, a second officer, who the Associated Press names as Officer Patrick Spradlin told her police are right to be distrustful of black people because of their "violent tendencies."
"Why are so many people afraid of black people?" Spradlin asks King. "I can give you a really good idea why it might be that way — violent tendencies."
Spradlin goes on to say that white people rightly fear black violence because some black people are "very intimidating."
The Associated Press reported that both officers are on desk duty as the department further investigates the incident."

I wanted to show his teachers that the gift was not only a, "thank you" from my husband and myself, but also from Rocco. So I had him color the gift bags and add some cute Christmas stickers too. This was something that took a few days to get done since he would only sit still long enough to decorate two bags at a time.
I spent a total of $45 on 7 gifts. Not bad, huh? I purchased the tumblers all from Wal-Mart as well as the candy, gift bags and stickers.
Hope this helps anyone that is scrambling get something for their co-workers, kid's teacher or neighbor :)
Merry Christmas!!!!

Don't forget this weeks' GIVEAWAY {GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED} for food storage BROWNIES! Check out last Friday's post to enter.*
Okay… No joking… These are the BEST dinner rolls ever. I made them this past week and my husband could NOT believe they were from scratch. And not only are they soft, moist, delicious and succulent, but they are 100% shelf stable friendly ingredients! Food Storage never tasted so good! Mmm-Mm! You may want to go ahead and just commit this recipe to memory… you're gonna want it there! 🙂 Anyway, these would be great at any family gathering during this holiday season, so eat up and ENJOY!!
{P.S. I can't believe no one ever complained about an error I found in this recipe! I originally typed it in as 1 Tbsp of salt, but it's only supposed to be 1 teaspoon!! So if you have tried these and thought they were way too salty… that would be why! 🙂 It is now corrected. Sorry for any salt-attacks I may have caused anyone. :)}
Easy Dinner Rolls
- 1 cup, plus 3 Tbsp warm water (almost hot)
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2 Tbsp yeast
- 3½ cups all-purpose flour (can use half whole wheat flour)
- 1 egg (2 Tbsp egg powder + 3½ Tbsp water)
- 1 tsp salt
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together the water, oil, sugar, and yeast until well combined. Cover and let it rest and rise for 15 minutes. (Side note: If using a KitchenAid/stand mixer to make these, you'll want to use your dough hook. However, for this first step just give it a good stir with a whisk instead.)
- Add about two cups of the flour, the egg and the salt. Mix it up. Start adding the rest of the flour, half a cup at a time and continue to mix well. The trick to getting light, fluffy rolls (as always with bread dough) is to get the dough just to the tacky point. If you don't use the full amount of flour, that's okay. You just want to be able to touch the dough with your finger and have it stick a little, but not too much. (I don't like to use the guideline of 'when the bread starts pulling away from the side of the bowl' because usually by that point I've added too much flour.) So let the stickiness be your guide.
- Leave the dough in your bowl/mixer, cover and let it rise for about 30 minutes. (You can shorten this to about 10 minutes if you're in a rush, but 30 minutes is better.)
- Spray two 8×8 square pans with non-stick cooking spray. (And go ahead and get your oven preheating to 375 ºF now too.)
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured or lightly greased surface (I like to spray my surface with non-stick spray) and knead it a few times. (Remember, if it's a little sticky, that's okay! It may make it a little harder to work with, but you'll appreciate the end results!) Just add a little extra flour to your kneading if desperately needed.
- Using a sharp knife (which I also spray with non-stick spray), cut the dough into approximately 18 equal pieces. (Cut the dough in half, then cut each half into three pieces, and cut each of those into three pieces.) Shape each segment into a little ball by tucking the end pieces under (they don't have to look super pretty or anything, but just try to get the top smooth) and place into your prepared baking pans (9 rolls to a pan). Cover each pan and let the dough rise again for roughly another 30 minutes until about doubled in size.
- Bake at 375 ºF for 15-18 minutes, until golden brown on top. Serve with butter and/or honey! De-lish!

You know, in all our briefs were told to be careful about fitting back into society too fast. I never saw the worst of war, so I wasn't particularly concerned about all that. I do notice that I do not like large crowds. I don't know why that is. I don't think everyone wants to kill me or anything, I just noticed I feel uncomfortable.
They briefed us many times on not hitting our wives or our children, neither of which I have living with me, so again I was not particularly concerned about that either. I think it goes beyond that and includes dealing with people in general. I think I have less patience and feel more aggressive than I should at times but I can't rationally justify why I feel this way.
I visited with family and friends all day and it was great. It still has not sunk in that I am home for good yet. I was so eager to go home and sleep in my own bed. My house is empty except for my bed and some clothes as everything is still in storage, but it is my bed and it felt great to snuggle up between the pillows and drift off to sleep, even by myself.
Around 4 am I woke up to the sound of a gun shot. I wasn't sweaty and breathing hard or anything. I didn't jump up screaming. I didn't think Hadji had followed me home. I just woke up when I heard someone shooting. I live in the country so it is not unusual to hear gun shots. Ususally they are mine.
I laid there a few minutes and listened for more. I went and turned the heater down a bit and heading back to bed in the darkness I saw a man with a flashlight walk past my bedroom window. I paused for a moment and watched as he started shining his light in my other window. Then my heart was beating out of my chest and I ran through many scenerios in my head.
I was unarmed that time and mentally scanned my surroundings for options. I had a flashlight a few feet away on the nightstand and a clothes hanger rod in the closet to my right. Being unarmed, suprise would be my best defense. He was close, peering through the window. If I ran fast, I could jump through the window and tackle him. All of these things ran through my head in the couple seconds it took him to pass from one side of the window to the other.
I decided to go for my flashlight; I could blind him, then hit him with it. I held my flashlight tight and cautiously pulled my blinds apart to get a good look. Across the field, I saw a car pulling out from my neighbors house. The headlights played tricks through the trees and I watched it start to pull away.
Here's the thing though, even after I knew it was a car and not some guy outside my window, I still walked from room to room and watched the car until it got to the paved road and drove away. I went back to bed and tried to sleep, but every noise alerted me. I was never attacked (except by rockets). I can't explain why I am so jumpy.
I feel so stupid when I think about it. I actually thought about jumping through my bedroom window to tackle someone! I couldn't sleep for a while after that. I had to turn on my MP3 player and put my headphones on to drown out all the things that go bump in the night. I wasn't afraid, that is not it. I think I can only decribe it as startled; repeatedly, involuntarily startled and I hate it.

Home Alone
You know, in all our briefs were told to be careful about fitting back into society too fast. I never saw the worst of war, so I wasn't particularly concerned about all that. I do notice that I do not like large crowds. I don't know why that is. I don't think everyone wants to kill me or anything, I just noticed I feel uncomfortable.

Adult malnutrition is a health problem, not a child protection issue. A child presenting to a doctor with malnutrition is always a child protection issue and it should be, but as an adult it is safe to see your doctor and ask to be checked over. You need to do this.
They will ask you questions designed to ascertain if you have an eating disorder, or substance misuse problems, and it is ok to say that you have not been prioritising yourself and not feeding yourself. They may also ask you questions about your children and their diet, and they do need to do this. The doctor will explore whether there are other underlying problems, and there may well be. While my malnutrition was very much poverty related, it was also related to long term stomach problems including gastritis and problems which developed in successive pregnancies.
From the moment your child is born, motherhood is a lesson in subordinating your needs to the needs of your child. This starts with sleep in babyhood, and with illness, and your body becomes well used to ignoring its basic needs.
Mothers have historically acted as shock absorbers of poverty, and it was that invisible willingness to sacrifice that austerity exploited, with all our political parties agreed that you could pay that price. This is not your fault and you can treat this.
You are not a failure as a parent if you have malnutrition, but you do need to address it because your children not only need you, they need a healthy you and will not thank you if you are sick on their behalf or end up with serious long term problems.
Just the act of eating and introducing nutrition to your body makes a huge difference very quickly, and you will be shocked at how much energy you have and how different things look and feel once you are eating what your body needs
Even if lethargy, brain fog, and headaches and other symptoms have affected the way you interact with your child, or the standards of your home, it can be sorted without it being a child protection issue.
If the symptoms of malnutrition have brought you into contact with social services before you got it addressed, social workers will look at whether you have addressed it and recognise what's happened and they may be able to help get you seen by dietician sooner, they may even be able to help you meet the cost of treating malnutrition.
I still have occasional bouts of exhaustion, but I have successfully managed to bring my BMI to a healthy state within weeks, and had more energy than I have had in years after only a couple of days of eating.
Your child needs a healthy mum(or dad) and you deserve to be healthy.

Very pretty eye palette! You are lucky you don't have oily eyelids. I do but thank goodness for eye shadow primer! :-)

i have oily eyelids so I'm wondering if using an eye primer will help keep these shadows on longer (if I was to buy) and use this palette.

Oh, thank you so much for the great news!
Now this looks like an even cheaper alternative for Sleek palettes, I can't wait to try it :)

You used the sponge applicator that came with it? I didn't think anyone actually did that! I'm sure that using the appropriate brushes would not mess up the palette in that way.
- 19 July 2011 at 10:22

wow this pallete looks amazing :) for £4 i would'nt mind the coloures being a bit messed up after using them i could cope with that for the price :D

I'll definitely be checking these out! Perhaps a replacement for Sleek palettes??

Destination Australia! The country has incessantly lured holidaymakers from far and wide for its stunning natural grandeur, uber modern metropolises, scenic vistas, rolling coastline with bewitching beaches and lots more. However, booking flights to the country from say, as far as the UK, continues to baffle a number of holidaymakers for the sheer distance. There is no non-stop flight from UK to Australia!
For those looking to book flights to Australia, India's national carrier, Air India, seems to have added to the 'not so adequate' options by starting a daily direct flight service from Delhi to Melbourne and Sydney! What is in it for me? Many holidaymakers from the UK may ask.
The new service will benefit the British as well as global travellers seeking holidays to Australia immensely. While it may not be a non-stop flight option, Air India is surely going to be a popular choice for those departing Heathrow and seeking just a single stop flight to the two metropolises of Australia with connection at Delhi.
Air India launched its operations on the route Saturday, last week. The flights will be operated daily on a Triangulated route –Delhi-Sydney-Melbourne-Delhi (4 weekly services) and Delhi-Melbourne-Sydney-Delhi (3 weekly services).
What is more interesting for the travellers is that the Airline has plans to press in service the popular Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft. The modern aircraft promises a higher degree of comfort across all classes on the long haul travel to Australia. The daily frequency of flights would also add to the availability of seats benefitting travellers, particularly those looking for cheap economy class travel.

Apple earnings stock UP. Now Apple DOWN. Wonder why?
So another great day for apple shorts and bad one for apple longs. Stock is down almost 20 points (3.14%) today on no news. Well actually some good news out of the NYT about how good Apple is at managing their tax burden. Normally this would be a good thing since their methods are all legal.
So why the drop then? Remember Mr. Market is NOT efficient. If he was Buffett and Shelby Davis would not have made the returns they did. Today Mr. Market is making you an offer to sell you a business at a significant discount with a big margin of safety built in.
Ok so the drop today you ask….don't read too much into it. It is simple. Day traders, algorithmic traders, technical traders and high frequency traders all working the stock down. There are lots of option games being played as well. How should we as investors view this price action? If you have funds you may consider taking Mr. Market up on his offer today. It may not last very long.
Over short periods of time the market is a voting machine and over long periods it is a weighing machine. Just 90 days ago analysts had apple making just 41/share for 2012 and now they are about 47/share. That is just 90 days. Make no mistake apple is growing faster then 95% of Fortune 500 companies and trades at a valuation lower then 95% of them.
Apple is also partly to blame for this price action as they have done nothing to defend the stock. A 20 for 1 split would get media obsession off the stock price for starters. Next a substantial buyback authorization of 50 billion or more would support the stock. The 10 billion buyback over 3 years does nothing but offset option diluation. This is no help to shareholders nor does it support the stock in any way. Apple is indeed mismanaging their cash and stock and this is helping the shorts and other "traders" play with the ticker at will. There is no fear of a big dividend or buyback to halt their objective.
Also short term fast money traders prefer downward moves because they can get investors that have weak hands to give up their shares in panic more easily. Remember this human trait "the fear of loss is greater then the desire for gain". Therefore the path of least resistance will always be down. Human nature.
Ultimately you have a stock gift today from Mr. Market. At almost 580 you can do some simple math and be objective about the facts. First apple has 110/share in cash which is 110 billion in the bank with no debt. They have iphone 5 coming. iOS 6 is coming. iTV is coming. These are catalysts for 2012 and 2013 that will drive earnings to $100/share in 2014. Additionally they expand the apple ecosystem as a whole and strengthen the Apple Moat. Nothing wrong here.
So take a 2014 look and you have between $150 to $200 billion in cash which is $150-$200 in cash per share. Back out the low end of that 150 from today's 580 and you get 430/share ex-cash. Now 2014 you have $100 in earnings so Apple would have to trade for just 4.3 times earnings ex-cash assuming no stock movement from today's price. Here you can see two things. First the enormous margin of safety you have. Second you can see what happens over time periods that are greater then a day, week, month or year.
So decide today if you want to take Mr. Market's generous offer or see what he wants to offer tomorrow or next week. You never know how generous or greedy he may be day to day or week to week. However it is better to buy a great company at a fair price then a fair company at a great price. With Apple I think you get a great company at a great price, a rare opportunity.

I was in Washington Mutual the other day, and noticed that they were promoting the features of their "Free Checking" account. Very prominently on the poster was this offer:
One free waiver of an Overdraft/Non-Sufficient Funds fee per year
I looked at their ad and thought, what a strange offer! Why would they want to offer that? Isn't that highlighting an experience that makes people feel bad (bouncing a check) and reminding them of it?
Then I remembered that Washington Mutual took the lead in raising bounced check fees. Why are they offering one free bounced check (NSF fee) per year? Because that would appeal to people who bounce checks! And those people are more likely to generate fee revenue for Washington Mutual than others. If you have trouble with bounced checks, don't look for one free bounced check; if this is a concern for you, you probably have more than one fee per year to deal with. Look for the lowest bounced check fee in your area. According to Bankrate, the lowest NSF fee from a traditional bank in San Francisco is $19 per incident from Bank of America or Comerica, and Comerica looks lower on other fees, like ATM fees. Washington Mutual is $6 higher per incident. If you bounce five checks in a year, Comerica would save you $5 total versus Washington Mutual, even after Washington Mutual's "free" offer.
No company will give you anything for free unless they think that will lead to getting more money from you later. Whenever you see an ad like this, think, "Who are they trying to appeal to?" Even if you decide to go with that offer, you'll at least have a better picture of what you're getting into. When I saw this ad, I thought, this bank is a bad deal for people who bounce checks.
Of course, a better tip is "Don't bounce checks." But, very often, people will choose the account that best fits the way they want to be, not the way they are. Don't let that become a profit line for your bank.

Is Netherrealm bringing DC Comics' tough-talking bastiche to "Injustice: Gods Among Us?"
Eh, probably.
Last month, Netherrealm's Ed Boon tweeted what's looking now like a hint that the Roger Slifer and Keith Giffen creation will be making his way into the Elseworlds fighting game. The image below only serves to confirm it.
For those of you not following mainstream comics back in the 90's, Lobo served as a parody of the violent antiheroes of the decade, his origin story having him slaughtering the population of his planet before knocking around the known universe on his space motorcycle. Typically, this unstoppable killing machine would come into contact (and conflict) with the heroes of the DCU because who wants to deal with a sociopathic albino space man with no table manners?
No word on when the character will make his way into the game or what kind of pricing will be in place, but "Injustice," like "Mortal Kombat" before it, has a season pass that will entitle you to all of the DLC characters. In the meantime, you should check out our review to see if "Injustice" is worth picking up.

There is neither rest nor comfort of a lasting nature until one enters Paradise. This life is full of problems, trials, ordeals, sickness, and worries.
A colleague of mine from Nigeria told me that, when he was a child, his mother would wake him up during the last third of the night to pray. He would answer, "Mother, I want to rest a little." She would say, "I am only waking you up for your comfort's sake. O' my son, when you enter Paradise you will find your repose.

FINALLY! a start on my flannel/homespun quilt. These fabrics have been staring at me and begging me to get to work with them for over a year. It feels good to be making a start on this one. I can hardly wait to see it come together...only 9 more fat quarters to cut into and that part of the process will be done.

The Canadian Reiki Association (CRA) is a federally-chartered, national non-profit registry of Reiki Practitioners and Teachers representing various styles of Reiki practice. Becoming a member has been my intention since the beginning of Gathered Roots.
One of the application criteria outlined is the completion of 24 case studies. My hope is to be a Registered Practitioner with the CRA by mid-November and I'm seeking individuals who would like to visit the office for up to 4 one-hour Reiki treatments during the month of October.
As a volunteer client, you must be willing to complete a Client Information Form (that is used for office purposes only) and also a Case Study Report Form that will be released to the CRA. The information shared includes your full name, email address and telephone number, as well as my noted observations about each session. The Case Study Report Form will be kept strictly confidential by the CRA Board of Directors.
In exchange for the help, the cost for each Reiki treatment is $25 (the regular rate is $40). Come take advantage of this offer, which will be extended until all case studies are complete.
You can confirm the number of treatments desired and be guaranteed the reduced rate by scheduling and prepaying ahead of time or you can also schedule and pay for one appointment at a time too if that's what you prefer.
If you would like to be a case study client, please contact me as soon as possible and we can make the necessary arrangements. Thank you!
My membership with the Canadian Reiki Association can benefit all existing and potential Gathered Rootsclients. Some examples:
- All registered members (Practitioners and Teachers) must adhere to the Canadian Reiki Association Code of Ethics. Did you know that Reiki practice is currently a non-regulated health career in Canada, meaning practitioners are essentially free to conduct business in whichever way they choose? More information on this topic will be released in future articles but know that the Code of Ethics set forth by the CRA outlines high standards that I am willing to commit to.
- While Reiki services are not covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Program, a small handful of private insurance companies are now approving claims under Extended Health Care benefits. The CRA aims to make this recognition widespread by offering its members a professionally designed extended health claim form and bringing awareness about Reiki to the Insurance Industry. My connection with the CRA can possibly make Reiki treatment more financially feasible for you.
- Finding a Reiki practitioner in Timmins and Area is not always easy! Having Gathered Roots listed in the CRA's online directory is another way for those interested in Reiki to access the service.


text: Ever heard of the RT booklovers convention? Me neither till this year. This past April, it was held in Chicago. Carol and I went and had a blast!! The convention is a few days long but we went for the saturday book fare. They had a large room filled with authors ready to sign books. Some of the authors even have free swag (buttons, bookmarks, ect)!!! Some bring their latest book that you may purchase, but you are not required to buy any books. You may bring books from home. While you're waiting in line, a guy comes around with a stamp that will put an "invisible mark" on your personal books. Then at checkout, they pass a light over the books you have so they can see which need to be purchased, so it's imperative that you get your books marked. After the book fare, there are workshops, then there is a evening party (some of the authors attend and have more free stuff). All was included in the one day fee. 2013 will be in Kansas City. The web site is rtconvention.com They already have a list of authors that plan to attend and it's already a large list!!!

Why does the church feel it is acceptable to Christ's teachings to spend $1B on a mall, when so many of its own members are unable to feed their families?
These questions were found here.
everyone's got something to say, just be prepared to be criticized for it.
"Do I believe in faith?"
John already addressed some things about Daphne. But someone asked: "If Daphne wants to be a drug addict when she is 14 are you going to let her make that decision or are you going to teach her what you think is right?"
Anyways, I hope this answers the question. I really want to say that "there aren't stupid questions, only stupid answers"… but I'm having a hard time being able to admit that with this one. LOL.
SO- for all of you out there who aren't afraid to IDENTIFY YOURSELVES... ask away!
All information was gathered off of FamilySearch.org which is a church ran website. Joseph Smith was married/sealed to 24 wives.
* i took down all the stuff i had written in hopes to "prove" to myself and everyone else that mormonism isn't true. the blog was originally titled "what I believe", but realized it wasn't even about what i believed. it was about how i didn't believe in the mormon church. so instead, i have made a list of why i don't believe in mormonism. I personally don't believe in this stuff. however, others are more than welcome to believe it, respectfully. if it makes you happy, then believe in it. it just didn't make me happy. i hope this is less offensive.

In the 80's, a Japanese friend introduced me to a recently translated historical, Keiji Nakazawa's Barefoot Gen, an autobiographical story of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. I marveled at the power of combination: well researched history, well drawn comix and good writing.
Next came Chester Brown's Louis Riel, which some consider the best graphic novel ever. Brown's clean straightforward drawings match his impeccable history and his excellent writing. It took Brown five years to research the material which outlines the life and death of one of the most tragic figures in history.
I enjoy Guy DeLisle's travel books. DeLisle, another Canadian, created insightful, funny, politically astute looks at China in Shenzhen Journey, Korea in Pyongyang, a Journey in North Korea and my favourite, The Burma Chronicles which details the time spent with his family in that country.
Then came an artistic masterpiece, Skim, by cousins Mariko and Jillian Tamaki. Skim is the nickname of a goth girl in an all-girls school in

It has not felt like the end of summer yet, though. Throughout most of August, the temperatures were hot and summer was in full swing. We went swimming a lot, even lounging in the water at times. Our friends Randy, Tracy and their kids Gabe and Owen came for a visit.
Early in the month, Susanna got out on a 4 day, solo backpacking trip, covering a little over 40 miles. During that time, Jasper and I went out on several long, day outings, exploring the local rocky shorelines and playing in the water. Later in the month. in between wind storms, we got out on two different overnight canoe trips. The first was to Daisy Farm and the second (in the very end of August) to Moskey Basin.
I love this time of year. The mosquitoes are gone, the colors are starting to change, the weather is still warm and sunny (good for swimming!), the grasshoppers are clicking away in the brown grasses on the ridges, the blueberries and thimbleberries are fantastic...
