Grupo de Radioaficionados para Operaciones Satelitales (GROS) Coordinator Raydel Espinet CM2ESP comments on the use of amateur radio satellites for emergency communications and describes how an amateur satellite was used in a Civil Defense exercise on May 18-19, 2013.
About the topic of satellites and emergencies I think satellites are an option very important to consider when there is no more available. In case of HF propagation blackouts or poor conditions and when local VHF and UHF repeaters fails, satellites can bring help, specially from light weight battery run portable stations.
Here in Cuba we do every year an emergency rehearsal exercise named "Meteoro" which is organized by Cuba's Civil Defense to simulate catastrophes and other actions relevant to the upcoming hurricane season.
This weekend (May 18th and 19th) was held the 2013 Exercise, like always Cuban Ham Radio Operators are invited to participate as an important asset during emergencies…

I sat alone, a spectator to a wide abyss of salvation green grass, plummeting downward into the mist which seeped in surfeits in to the world with the veil of night. Upon a the hill I swam in the nostalgias thoughts which barreled through the gaunt fragments of my mind; lost in the visual poetry which lingered in the twilight. There I bore witness to angelic beams which dove through the night and pierced the evening mist, the stifling double wielded flames of justice plunging into the sifting tides of fog, fallowed by the mechanical roar of a night-owl stompin' in D. As a looming spectator mentally lost, mentally barricaded if you will, after a endless day of chasing geese I left myself. With my mouth a smokestack of billowing camels; my mind drifted as a specter on high from beyond the desolate scraps left after weeks of binging. I transcended, lost in the sublime dream of reality, and succumbed to persistent delirious epiphanies of what life is. Paying homage the hypnotic tide of lights drifting like clockwork in a sea of nebulous twilight tides I realized the beauty that is this fleeting life about us. Every experience is an experience worthy of having, every moment is the final one of its' kind, and no matter how much you treasure it friends, you'll never get it back. Brown Day was a theory built upon the days that matter, and the days you feel most alive. In time I have come to question the significance of every other day, every other passing glimpse, every other unnoticed breath which is a world of splendor onto its self. Then came possibley the most monumental mental debris of all, that every moment, no matter how loathed is an experience and thusly a divine miracle. We only get one shot at life kids, and life shouldn't be wasted on striding for perfection, or working for the weekend, but simply taking time to look around on occasion and bask in the glory all around us. We're now headed for the brink to end the first era of our own lives, beyond is the main act… smile daily and reminisce in the splendor that is your life, the miracle of the hum-drum and the brilliance and wonder that is reality. In a sigh of conclusion, please my friends acknowledge life, because I assure you with everything in me, it is all ways acknowledging you. Now stop reading this bull and go live you little shit….
With all the love that has ever been,
-His Holiness the Drewbylama

The next day was a beautiful New England Autumn day. So we were off to a pumpkin patch to explore and play. Megan decided she was going to Jared's buddy. It was so cute watching them walk around hand and hand. The kids loved trying to pick up pumpkins that were almost bigger than they were. I made the mistake of telling the kids if they carried to where we could pay for them I would by them. Needless to say I bought Steve and Rachel 3 extra pumpkins. After walking around the pond and walking the pumpkin fields we sat down under big Oak trees for a snack of fresh cider donuts and cider. The kids kids entertained themselves by throwing acorns in the pond and into a camp fire that was burning. They thought is was hilarious when the acorns got hot and popped.

Acer Highlights New Focus on Cloud Computing
TAIPEI—For the first time in more than 10 years, personal-computer maker Acer Inc. this year did something outside its comfort zone: It designed a laptop entirely in-house.
While that might seem like no big deal, the practice is rare in the PC industry. Over the past decade, nearly every major PC maker has outsourced product development to a collection of little-known Taiwan companies. More than 90% of the world's laptops pass through the contractors in some way.
But industry executives say the formula has stopped working.
2011年04月22日 12:40 PMLex:宏碁路在何方?Lex_Acer: off the pacer英國《金融時報》 Lex專欄
It's never pretty when a company goes through an existential crisis. Shares in Acer, the world's third-largest maker of personal computers, have lost close to half their value this year, as management has dithered between chasing scale or profitability in the face of weak demand. Last week's downgrade to second-quarter shipment forecasts – a mere two weeks after the new executive team hinted at an upgrade – suggests that the company still lacks a sense of direction.
一家公司在生死攸關之際,看上去都不會太美。全球第三大個人電腦製造商宏碁(Acer)的股價今年幾乎下跌了一半。面對疲弱需求,該公司管理層在追逐規模還是保持盈利性之間猶豫不決。上周宏碁下調二季度銷量預期——就在兩週前新的管理團隊還暗示會上調預期——表明該公司仍缺乏方向感。Removing chief executive Gianfranco Lanci, an aficionado for growth, was supposed to provide a fresh start. Yet the installation of less aggressive chairman JT Wang as interim chief, effective April 1, may not improve much beyond the management of inventories. Acer's immediate problem is that demand is still soft in Europe, by far its biggest market, accounting for just over half of revenues. The more fundamental problem is that the core notebook and netbook business – almost three-quarters of sales – is being cannibalised by tablets.
宏碁撤掉迷戀增長的首席執行官蔣凡可•蘭奇(Gianfranco Lanci),本有望讓公司重振旗鼓。然而讓不那麼激進的董事長王振堂(JT Wang)擔任臨時首席執行官(今年4月1日生效),除了存貨管理以外,可能不會讓公司有太大起色。宏碁迫在眉睫的問題是,在迄今仍是其最大市場的歐洲,需求仍然疲弱——歐洲僅僅為其貢獻了一多半的收入。更根本的問題是,該公司核心的筆記本電腦和上網本業務(幾乎占到銷售的四分之三),正在被平板電腦蠶食。The bull case for Acer says that tablets are an expensive fad, and that demand for productivity-enhancing machines with old-fashioned data creation capability will come roaring back. The bear case, however, is that consumers are quite happy with the limitations of their dumb-but-pretty gizmos. What is discouraging for Acer investors is that not even management buys the bull case. Having toyed with tablet/PC hybrids with optional docking keyboards, it is now pushing the iPad-like Iconia A500, with onscreen keyboard. Last week the company unveiled a new organisational structure, declaring tablet and smartphone devices the "new … growth engine for the future."
看好宏碁的理由是,平板電腦是一個昂貴的時尚產品,而對具有老式的數據創造能力、可以提高生產率的計算機的需求,肯定還會捲土重來。然而,不看好宏碁的理由是,消費者根本不在乎那些功能不多但漂亮時尚的小玩意的局限性。令宏碁投資者氣餒的是,甚至連公司管理層都不認可看好宏碁的理由。一直考慮推出可選擇外接鍵盤的平板/個人電腦綜合體的宏碁,目前正在推出與iPad類似、帶有屏幕鍵盤的Iconia A500。上週,宏碁披露了新的組織架構,宣布平板電腦和智能手機設備是"未來新的……增長引擎"。Perhaps they will be. For now, though, the market seems about right to accord Acer a price/sales ratio little better than at the last trough, just over two years ago.

Some additional Gettysburg links:
1. At the League, J.L. Wall has a couple of posts (here and here) looking at how newspapers at the time reported the movement of the armies and the development of the battle. An example: on July 3, the Washington correspondent for the New York Times sent a telegram: "At the present hour, 9 p.m., no reliable advices have been received form the Pennsylvania battle-field. It is generally felt that it is the crisis of the war. Intense anxiety prevails."
(Thus, even as the battle was going on, there was a general sense that the clash at Gettysburg was a pivotal development in the war.)
2. A number of bloggers have posts about the third day of the battle, including here and here. One blog notes that this is also the anniversary of the Battle of Vicksburg. (Lest we forget.) This blog and this blog have some photos from the reenactments and from the Gettysburg battlefield today.
Anderson has a post drawing a passing connection between Pickett's Charge and the carnage of the First World War: "The dress rehearsal for the first day of the Somme, Pickett's (Trimble's-Pettigrew's) Charge…. The 11th Mississippi and the rest of the men under Trimble foundered at the Emmittsburg Road and the deadly fence alongside (deadly because the pause to cross them was fatal). Stephen Sears (Gettysburg, at 431) notes that after the battle, someone inspected the fence: 'One board, he wrote, "was indeed a curiosity. It was sixteen feet long, fourteen inches broad, and was perforated with eight hundred and thirty-six musket balls." '"
3. At Esquire, Col. Bateman has a post discussing Pickett's Charge (or the Pickett-Pettigrew Assault, or the Pickett-Pettigrew-Trimble Charge), with a focus on the activities of an understrength Ohio regiment that was in an exposed forward position as the rebel assault began. The 8th Ohio Volunteer Infantry Regiment, under the command of Lt. Col. Franklin Sawyer, faced Brockenbrough's Virginia regiment of Pettigrew's division. Sawyer's regiment had endured the Confederate artillery barrage, and Brockenbrough's men, on the far left end of the rebel advance, had just advanced to the Emmitsburg Pike, to a point just below a crest that stood in front of Cemetery Hill:
It was at this moment, seeing the condition of the unit directly opposing them that Sawyer issued his incredible command, "CHARGE!" Mostly hidden until that moment from the view of the Virginians under Brockenbrough, the 160 Ohioans must have appeared as berserkers rising up from the earth. Because of a trick of the terrain, the same swale that concealed the Virginians from the Union artillery in those last moments as they straightened up their lines, also concealed the men of the 8th Ohio until the very last moment.
With a full-throated 'Huzzah!' which vented some of their frustrations and fears the men of Ohio charged forward along the flat ground on the spur with fixed bayonets into the range of the rifles of six thousand Confederates…and straight at the full brigade of rebels under Brockenbrough's somewhat dubious command.
From the Confederate position at the bottom of the swale the appearance of these Yankees was too much. Rational men do not do something like what they were seeing. Rational units do not attack against odds like this, so obviously something else must be in play. Rational men, faced with odds like 160 to 6,000, give commands to fire and fall back. Rational men may be defeated.
Subjectively, therefore, these men from northern Ohio could not by any measure have been considered rational at that moment.
It appears that in Brockenbrough's Brigade not a man stopped to reason. They did not count the devils, or consider how small in fact was the unit rushing towards them. What the Confederates saw to their front was a unit tearing forward with a mad intensity, rushing at them with fixed bayonets, and perhaps most significantly, carrying their national and regimental colors. To veterans this absolutely signified that this was a counterattack, since skirmishing units leave their colors behind in the safety of the main line.
Leading the charge was a capless Union officer with dried blood on his face (Sawyer had a slight head wound from earlier in the day) and carrying a musket. This was no genteel unit with city dandies for officers. In the internal battlefield calculations that all soldiers make individually, it seems likely that many of the southern soldiers believe that this attack right into their teeth must be merely the vanguard of something much bigger. Where there is one regiment there must be others soon to be revealed. (Remember, they could not see what might be behind the 8th Ohio, which was, to them, appearing over a crest.)
Brockenbrough's brigade, probably some 600 men by that point, broke and ran as fast as their legs would carry them.
The fact is that it was a pretty measly charge, as such things are measured. The 8th Ohio's charge only carried them between 50 to 75 yards forward, depending upon the soldier. A piddling distance for a charge, and at the end of it they were still probably 200 yards away from making physical contact with Brockenbrough's disintegrating line. There was no crash of arms, no thrust of the bayonet. What finally broke the Virginians was the appearance, not the impact, of the Union troops charging towards them. It is a classic example of that hazily defined military concept called "shock." Yet despite the short distance, the "impact" of the attack was enough to shake the morale of every southern soldier who saw what had happened. The 8th Ohio, a bruised and undersized regiment barely larger than a single company, broke an entire brigade of the Army of Northern Virginia.
Bateman's post also visits a much-discussed question: why did Lee go through with the charge? Bateman offers his hypothesis:
One may ask, why? Why, if Lee was such a great general, had he allowed this attack to go forward?
Well, for starters, he may still have been pinning his hopes on the idea that although Stuart had been checked (and Lee would have known this by the time the infantry stepped off in the assault), Meade might still have weakened his center as a precaution. But I think there is something else in play here — a memory of events that took place almost sixteen years before. A memory made in mid-September 1847. Yes, friends, we are moving into the realm of hypothesis. I cede this freely, and only offer it for consideration. I do not claim that this next bit is, or ever can be, definitive. Such is history.
I believe that mental link was formed by events that took place just outside Mexico city at the base of the Mexican fortress named Chapultapec. On that day Captain Lee (who opposed the idea of a frontal assault like the one that was unfolding before him) watched American troops move forward after an initial artillery barrage softened up the defenders. The Americans were attacking at nearly even odds, which is usually not a good idea. Yet they moved forward, and forward, taking the initial Mexican positions and continuing on. Lee looked on from his position with the commander's staff as then-Lieutenant James Longstreet fell wounded with a Mexican bullet in the thigh while carrying the regimental colors of his infantry unit at the front of the attack. But the colors did not stay down for long.
Longstreet called out to his friend and fellow infantryman, another young infantry officer, and passed the colors to him. That lieutenant then led the charge — the impossible charge — the rest of the way up the 200-foot high hill and up on to the walls of the castle, where he planted the colors. He was the very first American on the walls. The men stormed forward, following the audacious young officer. Inspired by his courage as the first man on the enemy's walls and the presence of their flag there on the ramparts they surged ahead and took the whole castle. The entrance to Mexico city was breached and the attack continued until the entire city fell — effectively ending the war.
That young Lieutenant was now a general as well, and his name was George Pickett.
Lee had seen the impossible before from troops he had much less faith in than those he had command of that July afternoon in 1863. He had witnessed Pickett, taking the colors from Longstreet, assault, and surmount the insurmountable. He knew his men had surmounted impossible odds just weeks before, at Chancellorsville, he believed.
"Belief" is sometimes not a good idea, when calculating military odds.
Do read the whole thing.
4. Also, Col. Bateman, in a post dealing mainly with Custer's defense against Stuart's cavalry incursion, also discusses Meade's leadership style and the practicalities of dealing with generals. Late on the night of July 2, Meade held a meeting (or a "council of war" in the classical terminology) with his generals (emphasis added):
My day job as a strategist means that I spend an awful lot of time with generals. Measurable time changes some conventions. But it changes institutions only slowly, and human nature not at all. That night, Meade was brilliant.
In the Army of the Potomac there were factions. Nowhere was this more clear than in the affiliations of the generals. Indeed, there had been such divisions almost from the beginning. Then, as now, these were based upon individual personalities or longstanding relationships. But during the Civil War, since so many generals were also politicians only temporarily wearing a uniform, political considerations also entered the complex mix.
Meade had been in command, what, five or six days?
Look, if you want to understand generals, you need look no further than CEOs. Now imagine this scenario: I am appointed the CEO of 11 other CEOs. They all feel themselves to be my equal. No more than three of them ever hold the same opinion. Somehow I must unify their thoughts, inclinations, and ultimately behaviors. And I need to do so in such a way that when there is a crisis, and there will be a crisis, and they are out of communications, they act in a way that makes sense according to my larger plan.
So what do you do? How do you get CEO personalities to come together?
You let them argue with each other. For as long as it takes.
You throw a tough question at them, something in which they all have a stake, and you throw out a couple of straw-men options. Then you ask the open-ended question, "Gentlemen, what shall we do?"
Often the commanding general who asks this may not actually mean it. In many cases he has already decided what the best course might be. But as the CEO of numerous CEO-personalities, he knows that he needs them to fight with each other about the right thing to do, so that they do not fight with him, on the morrow. In the end, if he has done it right, all the sub-CEOs go away thinking that they carried the day, or that they had been heard and their opinions considered and incorporated. This may or may not be the case. But it is their feelings about the consultation, believe it or not, which really matter.
5. Finally, I do not want to let this day pass without mentioning the movie Gettysburg (1993), based closely on the also-excellent novel The Killer Angels (1974), by Michael Shaara. Time has a review of Civil War movies that discusses Gettysburg, among other films:
Ronald F. Maxwell's four-and-a-half-hour war epic…was made for TV but, at the enthusiastic insistence of its sponsor, Ted Turner, released briefly in theaters. Turner backed the project after many executives at the major studios had rejected it — some more than once. The film's savior asked only that he appear fleetingly on camera. He plays a Confederate officer who shouts, "Let's go, men!" and is promptly killed. Noting that his scene needed to be shot only twice, Turner told the director, "Just call me Two-Take Ted."
Though the source book, Michael Shaara's The Killer Angels, won the 1975 Pulitzer Prize for fiction, Maxwell infused the story with suitable authenticity. Receiving permission to shoot on part of the battlefield, now a National Military Park, he recruited some 4,000 Civil War reenactors to serve as extras and amateur historians. Perhaps inevitably, this docudrama is stronger on docu than on drama. Some members of the professional cast, led by Tom Berenger as Lt. Gen. James Longstreet and Martin Sheen as Gen. Lee, seem more uncomfortable than the reenactors. The film's outstanding performance is by Jeff Daniels, as the college professor turned Union officer Joshua Chamberlain, who underlines the band-of-brothers theme by telling his men, "We're fighting for each other."
The battle scenes necessarily telescope the huge numbers of the warring troops — 170,000, equal to the population of Boston at the time — but adequately approximate the military strategies and, in the climactic and tragic Pickett's Charge, fitfully display a sad grandeur. A flop in movie theaters, Gettysburg found its true home on DVD and in schoolrooms, where it functions as a useful audio-visual aide to the observation by Civil War Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman that "War is Hell."
I have heard that Tom Berenger has said that his role as Gen. Longstreet was one of his favorite roles in his career. For what it's worth, I have always enjoyed Berenger's portrayal of Longstreet. I have also heard that Martin Sheen, portraying Gen. Lee, was overwhelmed by the the enthusiasm of the reenactors who participated in Pickett's Charge in the film.
The final sequence of Gettysburg, dealing with the Pickett-Pettigrew-Trimble Charge, is simply an awesome specimen of cinema. In addition to the pure spectacle of the cinematography – with sweeping visuals of thousands of reenactors charging the field – the sequence includes what I believe to be very effective use of dramatic irony. The viewer knows that the Confederate attack is going to fail, but that knowledge makes the determination and confidence of the charge participants exquisitely poignant. Also, the music, and the flow of the attack as shown on screen, seem to make the viewer think (like Faulkner's 14-year-old Southern boy) that maybe, just maybe, Gen. Armistead can pull it off.
For me, Gettysburg has a special place in my heart for an idiosyncratic reason. A few summers ago, I was preparing to take the Tennessee Bar Exam. All the bar exam advice will tell you to stop studying at least a few hours before going to sleep on the night before the exam. When I at last closed the books, I needed something to clear my mind and occupy myself for the next few hours. So I watched the second half of Gettysburg. (I did pass the Bar that summer, in case you were wondering.)
The Time piece also contains what has to be the correction of the day:
*CORRECTIONS: The original text stated that 50,000 soldiers were killed in the battle; we also mistakenly identified James Longstreet as a Union general.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
On a surely unrelated note, I am working on a post discussing last week's Supreme Court decision in Shelby County v. Holder, and I hope perhaps to have that posted Friday.

Though it's illegal in the US to sell turtles less than 4 inches long in the pet trade, Tessa, a yellow-bellied slider, was purchased as a hatchling at a beach-front store for a friend's 5-year-old. She spent the first year of her life in a tiny plastic container with an inch of water, no filter, and no lights for basking. She was harassed by the family cats and was even lost in the house for 10 days! I was asked to pet sit for a week and started reading up on turtle care. These tiny turtles grow up to be the size of dinner plates – requiring large tanks, basking areas and special lighting. With proper care, they can live well over 50 years. If they don't live in the right conditions, they can end up sick, deformed, and in pain. I started campaigning for a transfer of ownership and my friend agreed! Now Tessa lives in a 120 gallon tank, is growing like a weed, and likes to peek at me above the water line. She is so fun to watch and I'm very happy to have her! My friend's daughter comes over to say hello to her former pet every few weeks. Turtles should not be an impulse buy. Please research proper turtle care, and consider adopting one of the many surrendered sliders that need a good home. Reptiles are not cuddly like dogs and cats, but they are fascinating creatures who deserve our respect and care.

How many times do we have to say, "You'll need a pencil, your grading pen, colored markers, scissors, etc."? Too many times to count! Last year I started "training" my kids to look at the chalkboard at the beginning of each class, so they knew what to get out. I didn't start it until the last couple weeks of school, but I saw (and felt) an incredible turn-around. I just LOVE to help kids become self-sufficient – and they love consistency!
This year, in my effort to make things more stream-lined, and because I'm artsy-fartsy (AND because I have a new metal cabinet in my room in order for this to work), I made a magnetic interchangeable supply list! Take a look!
I did this by hand, but you could just as easily print it from a computer. I just had a LOT of extra paper scraps that I had on hand.
After making the header, I wrote out all the supplies I could think of on leftover scrapbook pieces. Then I cut them out, and laminated them. I'm sure there will be more obscure supplies needed during the year, and for those, I have laminated blank pieces of paper. Finally, I stuck magnetic strips on the back of everything – including the header.
The header in on the front of the cabinet, and the supply parts are stored on the side of it, out of view from the students:

The Dirge of Caragore
Ser Rodrick "the Indomitable" Caragore
Father of Orys, Former Steward of Gorehall, Knight of the Seven, Uncle to Lord Caragore, Commander of the Gorehall's Infantry, Castellan of the Gorehall
Ser Rodrick was the second son of Beren Caragore, being born in 217 AC less than one year after Duncan, and a rather impressive commander of both coin and men. His lordfather arranged a marriage between Rodrick and Lyanna, a member of a cadet branch of house Crakehall, shortly after Rodrick's knighting. Ser Rodrick was the house steward for his brother Lord Duncan the Simple until he had joined in the War of the Ninepenny Kings. During which he was called "the Indomitable" for his prowess in commanding units. Rodrick often claims to have fought side-by-side with Ser Barristan Selmy during the War, though it could be another Caragore tall tale. After the war, Rodrick returned to Gorehall to continue his stewardship and to pass his knowledge onto his son, Orys. Rodrick witnessed the beating of his brother at the hand of Lannisters, and was never quite right after it. After Rodrick retired from stewardship, he became acting commander of the Caragore infantry.

My Foster Child, Monet
6 comments:
Bless your heart, Linda! My friend and I just today were talking of cats she'd seen at a no-kill facility; she was torn whether that was a good thing with some of them. A little love can go a long way though, don't you think?ReplyDelete
I've never had a cat that didn't take immediately to the litter box so I'm not sure what the answer is for Monet, but I'm sure you can find one. In the meantime, enjoy his lovin'!
Thank you so much for your reply. Yes I am enjoying the love....Love does go a long way!!!ReplyDelete
Hopefully time will tell. Will keep yall posted!
Oh Monet is delightful though I am confused is he a boy or a girl cos in one post you say he's a boy and in the next you say her and she ;-)ReplyDelete
As for the litter training...no good tips but if our puppy is anything to go by patience and perseverence! Our puppy is perfectly healthy though rather skittish and a border collie (so a bit mad by nature) we have had her from day one as she was the last of 8 puppies born to my doggy (she's actually my parents doggy although until next month we all live in the same house) Anyway we did our best to get our 8 puppy's on the toilet training mode before rehoming. They weren't totally trained but well on their way. Our puppy was doing ok until some ******* kicked her when she was a tiny 13 weeks old to protect his kids from this bouncing bundle of joy! that was it our traumatised puppy lost all skills in that area. Now as a family we have not had good health and so we haven't been able to put the necessary effort into toilet training but we persevered and it took time and we cracked it. she is now 2 and a bit and only toilets inside if desparate and we have ignored her pleas (or it's raining) She at least only goes in one place in the house (though sadly in the way in front of the front door! not great when the postman calls early) she gets lots of excited praise when we spy her doing her business in the garden! Keep it up Bess you are doing great :-)
Hope that gives you a little encouragement. Monet is very young still so lets hope he gets it soon. And maybe you're other cat will at least lead by example even if she is unhappy with the 'interloper' :-)
Hi Teri,ReplyDelete
Yes, I call him her all the time because he is so pretty and looks like he should be a she! Thanks for letting me know so I could change the "she" parts. Thanks so much for your wonderful encouragement! Kenzie is very jealous and scared of Monet. I don't know if that will ever change. For all I know, Monet may be confined in a fence all her life, but I do let her out a lot and once again she has fallen asleep in my lap after running all over the place for a couple of hours.

West calls for end to anti-Islam film clashes
Western countries have appealed for an end to violent protests targeting their embassies, sparked by a film mocking the Prophet Muhammad.
The EU urged leaders in Arab and Muslim countries to "call immediately for peace and restraint".
The US is sending marines to defend its embassy in Khartoum and has called on Sudan to protect foreign diplomats.
At least seven people died in protests in Khartoum, Tunis and Cairo on Friday and there are fears of further unrest.
Protests in Egypt have spread, with demonstrators breaking into a base holding multi-national peacekeepers in Sinai, and clashes outside the American consulate in the coastal city Alexandria.
In Afghanistan, the Taliban said their attack on the huge Camp Bastion Nato base, in which two US marines were killed, was carried out in response to the film.
'Civilised world'
US embassies have borne the brunt of the attacks after clips of the film - which was made in the US - were distributed online.
Marines were deployed to Libya on Wednesday after the attack that killed the US ambassador and three other Americans and to Yemen on Friday after violence in Sanaa.
On Friday, US Vice-President Joe Biden called his Sudanese counterpart, Ali Osman Taha, to express concern over the security of the US and other Western embassies in Khartoum.
"Vice-President Biden reaffirmed the responsibility of the government of Sudan to protect diplomatic facilities and stressed the need for the government... to ensure the protection of diplomats in Khartoum," a White House statement said.
A crowd of several thousand attacked the US embassy in Khartoum on Friday, and state radio said three protesters had been killed in clashes with security forces.
The German and UK embassies in Khartoum were also attacked, although the controversial film has no known links to either country.
European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso condemned the attacks as unacceptable and against "the rules of the civilised world."
EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton urged "national authorities in all countries concerned to swiftly ensure the security of diplomatic missions and protect diplomatic staff".
"It is vitally important that leaders across the affected regions should call immediately for peace and restraint, as has already been the case in many countries."
German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said the Sudanese ambassador in Berlin had been summoned on Friday and "unequivocally reminded of his government's duty to protect diplomatic missions".
'Standing fast'
Protests against the film - Innocence of Muslims - began on Tuesday in the Egyptian capital Cairo.
The film depicts the Prophet Muhammad as a womaniser and leader of a group of bloodthirsty men.
However, its exact origin and the motivation behind the film's production are still unclear.
A man suspected of involvement in its making, Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, is being questioned by federal probation officers in California.
Nakoula, who was jailed for bank fraud in 2010, is not allowed under the terms of his release to access the internet or to use aliases without permission.
He has denied involvement in the film.
Two people were killed in Tunisia on Friday after crowds breached the US embassy compound in Tunis and clashed with riot police.
The nearby American school was looted and set on fire. There was also one death during protests in Egypt and another in Lebanon.
On Friday, US President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton attended a ceremony at Andrews Air Force Base for the repatriation of the Americans killed in Benghazi.
Mr Obama said the US would "stand fast" against the violence at its diplomatic missions.

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — A New Hampshire woman just couldn't believe the nearly $2,000 bill she received for a bottle of antibiotic pills was right, so she persisted in demanding answers.
In the end, it turned out that Susan Chamberlin should have been charged $382.50 by Portsmouth Regional Hospital.
Chamberlain says she was shocked when she first got the $1,912.50 bill for a bottle of cefuroxime pills given to her daughter during emergency treatment.
Chamberlain made several calls to complain and find out her rights, and finally asked Seacoast Sunday for help.
A hospital spokeswoman says the overcharge was due to a billing error.

Another screw-up heard from: DemCare Bill forgot to include a religious exemption clause
"The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as DemCare, has all sorts of hidden secrets. The immense and hastily drafted law, passed through the Senate on Christmas Eve with bribes aplenty, has hundreds of new mandates and some accidental omissions."

I didn't know what this was until a couple of days ago. Now I do because I damaged the left one walking in the Luss Hills. It's the tendon that runs down the front of the shin to the ankle and is involved in lifting up the foot, so pretty important for walking.
At the moment, walking becomes difficult and painful after a couple of minutes. The doctor reckons it should clear up in a couple of weeks and has prescribed strong anti-inflammatory painkillers, ice packs and rest. However it could take much longer, especially if it's been caused by a longer-term muscle imbalance or foot problem. Only time will tell.
This is the last thing I needed, five weeks before I'm due to set off.

Take good care of that, Stefan. Good luck with it.
Drink beer. That always makes things seem better.
Cheers Alan. I'd be on the beer (or stronger) if it wasn't for the drugs! My own stupid fault for a number of reasons, grist for a future post probably. Anyway it's getting a bit better day by day and important lessons have been learned.ReplyDelete

Today's life was just fine. I came to the class almost on time even I was late about 15 minutes passed 10 a.m. It was a good anticipation from me - as usual, the class not started yet. That's why I managed to come a little bit late today.
The lessons went so much well today as Mdm H was highlighting a few subtitle of water engineering. So we covered another learning outcome today. As always, I don't thing that I get the total input.
At the end of the class, Mdm H has tough us about Hydro - basically it's nothing to do with water subject, yeah I know it's related, but it's not supposed to be learned in this semester. Even in the learning outcome, it's never stated about hydro thingy.
As I can recall, we have this one particular subject a couple of months ago. I wonder why she intended to teach us. Plus, she reminds and insists us to do revisions for hydro so that she can gives a revision test in the next class.
Evening, just another problem meets the solution. The "meeting" was finally conducted. No more meeting after this except for the every week presentations. In just a few days, I believe for the feedback to be appeared in my mails box. Will see how the progress goes.
Pictures for your soul to digest. It's not relevant with the text above :)

So finally we round out the NFC South, by looking at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tampa did ok with last years lot and with free agency, so I was expecting (perhaps unfairly) big things from Tampa this year. I think they lived up to the reputation.
It all begins in round one with Adrian Clayborn. I love this kid, I really do. I think it was a great pick, especially at 20th overall. Great value. Clayborn is a seriously talented Defensive End who could finally help the Buccaneers get the pass rush that they need to start taking advantage of what is an increasingly talented young team.
Probably Clayborn's greatest attribute is that of block destruction. I wouldn't go so far as to say he's unblockable, but he does have a real talent for using his hands to get unstuck. In particular he is very adept at fending off cut blocks while keeping his eyes up and in the backfield.
If I had one knock on Clayborn it's that his speed isn't great, but I think he makes up for that with his other skills, like his awareness against the run. If he finds himself on the backside he does a great job of sticking to the hip of the last blocker and making sure he plays his proper run contain assignment. Now there are a lot of pros who struggle with that, so I always find it impressive in a rookie.
It's a core skill for defensive ends and it gives you an insight into his maturity. See, my experience has been that players don't do the fundamental things unless you ram them home. If you want a DE to play backside contain, you have to relentlessly tell him and show him. If he does it, it means he actually listens. All too often it's too tempting for a young player in that position to crash down the line and go chasing for the highlight reel play.
Seeing him playing his run responsibility pitch perfect is impressive. When you couple that with the way he plays the run as it comes towards him, keeping his shoulders square to the line and tracking the running back across the field while fending off blocks, it tells me that Clayborn already has a very solid base of skills to work from and will listen to his coaches to learn everything he can.
When you consider all that, it makes Clayborn a tantalising prospect. My hope is that the Buccaneers will put Gerald McCoy on one side as a DE - a position he had some success with last season - then insert Clayborn opposite him. With those two coming off the edges and causing havoc, that could push the Buccaneers defense to a level it hasn't reached since the days of Warren Sapp.
Of course there's still the chance that the Buccaneers will want to keep McCoy at defensive tackle and that's made more likely by their second round pick; Da'Quan Bowers.
Bowers, a defensive end from Clemson, fell into the Buccaneers lap at number 51 overall. It was something of a miracle that he made it this far down, but then that's what knee surgeries in the off season can do to a kids draft stock. The risk with knee surgery is that you never know how it's going to pan out. It might get better and the player returns to normal, as we saw with Wes Welker in 2010. Or it can go decidedly down hill and the player never fully recovers their speed and agility.
The Buccaneers have taken a gamble, but a calculated one.
Bowers is a mixed bag if I'm honest. He plays pretty smart and seems to have a good grasp of everything going on around him. He sniffs out reverses well and has the speed and determination to pursue plays from the backside.
But generally speaking if you can get your hands on him then Bowers gets locked up. And that is quite an issue for a defensive end. If you can't beat the blocks, how are you supposed to get to the QB? My overall impression then of Bowers was that he often seemed to luck out.
If you don't block him on the blitz then he has the speed to get through, but you're kind of relying on the generosity of other people for that which isn't exactly a recipe for success. This problem is compounded by the fact that the Buccaneers are a 4-3 team who aren't going to be regularly calling on linebackers to bring pressure, confusing or tying up the blockers.
Left to face an offensive tackle one on one, I'm not sure if Bowers has the technical ability to make things happen for himself. I just see him getting wadded up on the outside and not really being able to be of much use. And I'm not even talking sacks. I can't even see Bowers bringing much in the way of QB pressure.
Onwards and upwards then, into round 3 and the 84th pick overall, linebacker Mason Foster. Not a lot to say here really. Foster is a pretty good tackler, but his pass coverage is a definite weak point. That's problematic not just because he's a linebacker in a 4-3, but because the Buc's play a fair amount of "Tampa 2" coverage, which means their linebackers are needed to drop back and fill zones over the middle. That might expose Foster I feel.
Round four saw the Buccaneers take tight end Luke Stocker. An understudy to Kellen Winslow II it would seem. Stocker isn't very quick, but he is strong and has good balance, both of which aid good run blocking. He has good hands which is always a plus, and even though he's not all that fast his strength allows him to fight for extra yards. Not a bad pick in the fourth round.
In round five the Buccaneers went with Florida safety Ahmad Black. Black is a good tackler, who reads the plays really well. His range is pretty good and he breaks on the ball well, playing it well in the air. The Buccaneers made progress at the safety spot in 2010, but the addition of Black gives them that extra boost.
In round six it was running back Allen Bradford from Southern California. Bradford is very much in the same mold as LaGarrette Blount. He's big and strong, but also has a surprising turn of speed in the open field. His agility is also pretty impressive. That's a bonus because it makes him a legitimate second back to Blount, where he'll bring many of the same skills which should help his coaches blend him into their scheme without having to make special dispensations on his account.
In round seven the Buccaneers had two picks, courtesy of a compensatory selection. The first of these they used was on Florida international cornerback Anthony Gaitor. Now I warn you that I'm a confirmed fan now of Anthony Gaitor, so expect this to be glowing to the extreme.
Gaitor had a fast 40 time at his pro day, but I'm always a little wary of 40's in general and especially at pro days. On the field, Gaitor can sometimes look a little sluggish in pads, but don't let that fool you. Gaitors play and route recognition are absolutely superb. He's a great tackler and he plays the ball really well in the air.
Now I had a suspicion he would fall this low and I also mentioned in my cornerbacks post that I feel Gaitors late round evaluation is a huge mistake that shows everything that is wrong with scouting. For my money, I think Gaitor dropped because of where he played (at Florida International). If he was playing for a bigger college, he would have been much higher ranked.
The film is there. You can clearly see that Gaitor is a quality corner. He displays all of the skills that you would expect and also has safety potential in there. He easily looked better on game day than guys like Amukamara and Peterson. His intelligence and vision are plainly superior, yet he ends up in the seventh round.
I don't get it?
Lastly was Daniel Hardy, the tight end from Idaho. I first came across Hardy while looking at Nathan Enderle. Hardy has good hands and great route running technique. Speed is good, if not exceptional. In particular, Hardy seems to thrive in the rough and tumble world of catching over the middle. I really like Hardy. Is he an elite guy at the next level, like a Vernon Davis? I'm not sure. But I can see him on the same level as guys like Hernandez and Gronkowski in New England.
So that's it, the entire Buc's draft class done. Personally I think they had a pretty good draft. Clayborn to start was a great pick. Then came Bowers. I might not be a big fan of him, but the Buccaneers obviously are and importantly they got great value out of him because he was a projected first rounder who dropped to them in the second.
Mason Foster is another question mark for me, but other than that it's all good. The two tight ends they acquired have a lot of promise I feel. They got another good young back to share the workload with Blount and I think they really hit a home run with their selections of Black and Gaitor.
I like what the Buccaneers have done here for their defense. They've improved the defensive line and the secondary all in one go. Perhaps they didn't need two tight ends, but I can live with it because of the development potential there and because it's more weapons for Josh Freeman. An extra wide receiver would have been a nice addition, but the Buc's should do well regardless.
2011 is starting to shape up nicely for the Buc's. They'll be looking to reap the fruit of last years impressive rookie class, mixed with this one. On the basis of what I've seen, I think we'll all have to keep an eye on Tampa Bay this year.

On the lowcarb front:
It is going to be a hot one again today. I knew that as soon as I woke up drenched in sweat. Immediately the voice of self-sabotage began. I need to give this voice a name. Let's see, how about Mary Ann. Mary Ann is what I was called as a child. That's what this voice is - it's the immature part of me that wants to have its own way all the time. It wants to skip the hard work and go straight to the reward. Mary Ann is not bad or evil - she is just immature and needy. So here is how the conversation went this morning.
Mary Ann: It's too hot to workout today. Let's wait until tomorrow.
Me: Nope, I didn't workout yesterday and I don't want that pattern to get started.
Mary Ann: But I don't feel like working out.
Me: It's not about what I feel like doing - it's about what I need to be doing. It isn't even the working out that I don't like - it's the getting started. Today I am going to do a video workout - Walk Away the Pounds with Leslie Sansone. It's not the toughest workout, but it really is too warm and humid to go out.
Here is where I quit arguing with Mary Ann. Here is where I have to be the big girl. I am off to the living room.
My stats for today:
Type: WATP video
Time: 30 minutes
Average heart rate: 112
Maximum heart rate: 127
Calories burned: 181
I'm up 1 from last Thursday
Wow, it's been a while since I did one of these videos. I used to zip through them like nothing. I felt like I was working a lot harder than my numbers would indicate. This might be a good strength training workout for now - I could really feel my muscles.
The other day I noticed that I was getting a lot of traffic from Jimmy Moore's blog. I headed over there to see what was what. He mentioned my blog on his list. I was thrilled and flattered. He is one of my lowcarb heroes. Thanks, Jimmy!!!
Update: Speaking of Jimmy, I just visited his blog. Please continue to keep his family in prayer regarding his brother Kevin. Now Jimmy's dad is scheduled for quintuple bypass surgery. Prayers comin' your way, Jimmy and Christine!
On the home/business front:
Kelli just emailed me this pic of Claire that was taken at their house on Sam's birthday. She is wearing the tissue paper from one of Sam's birthday gifts. (Altogether now - Awwwwwwwwww!!!!)
I just finished 2 stockings. I am running out of green yarn and have to re-stock. I am way behind for the day. Now I have to head off to the school to do a couple hours of inventory. I can't wait until that's done. I would go nuts if it wasn't for being able to listen to online radio while I work. I was tempted to blow it off for today, but I do have to get it finished before the students come back. It's not hard work - it's just dusty and it irritates my nose. I have a wedding rehearsal tonight and our weekly cantor rehearsal. We had to reschedule it because of high winds and hail last night. Then I head over to Anna's to pick up some labels and then home to make 2 more stockings and a batch of jar candles.
Word of the day:
Matthew 11:28-30
Jesus said, "Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
Thoughts from the cornfield:
Whenever I read or hear this passage, it brings to mind the lovely aria from Messiah - He Shall Feed His Flock. So many times in the Gospels Jesus invites us to rest in him. In fact, the whole of the new testament and Jesus' mission on earth could be summed up in the above passage. So why do we struggle? It all comes back to a need for faith and a willingness to "let go and let God."
God bless the troops!

After weekly drives downtown to IUPUI's campus, writing two sets of weekly responses, a critical inquiry project, a 25 page portfolio, and spending soooo many hours in class I AM DONE!
Tonight was my last class of Comp and yesterday I finished Critical Literacy. We had to do a visual representation of what we learned this semester and I got to work with my friends April and Brian. They nominated me to be the artist and we created this masterpiece. I was finishing up the details and they said, "What are all those pink lines supposed to be?" Surely you know...
ENTHUSIASM! duh. Brian and April both made our composition art their phone backgrounds.
I will miss people watching in class and an ongoing commentary with April. Other than that, I'm thankful to have my Tuesdays and Wednesdays back.

Totally obsessing over this Prada shirt for men.
Looking totally delicious.
Orange pants never looked better when paired with these slippers.
Brad Goreski, ex-assistant of stylist Rachel Zoe. Spotted.
Excellent color combination here. I'm thinking I need a purple jacket.
Perfect everyday tote.
Orange belt, orange pants, orange shirt. Done, done and done
I hope that everyone is enjoying this lovely Sunday. In the Bay Area the sun is out in full-force and it looks like it is in Milano as well for the men's shows where the color of the moment is none other than a pop of orange. I can't imagine any other color I'd rather be wearing on a day like today. Until Monday! File under super fresh.

Peace, Propaganda and the Promised Land
Peace, Propaganda and the Promised Land: Media & the Israel-Palestine Conflict provides a striking comparison of U.S. and international media coverage of the crisis in the Middle East, zeroing in on how structural distortions in U.S. coverage have reinforced false perceptions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This pivotal documentary exposes how the foreign policy interests of American political elites–oil, and a need to have a secure military base in the region, among others–work in combination with Israeli public relations strategies to exercise a powerful influence over how news from the region is reported.Explore posts in the same categories: 3a.

I don't know, if there're any practical applications to learning dead languages. However, I've heard arguments that Latain helps you learn English better. I think Japanese would be fun to learn (easy to pronounce, read, at least not the kanji, difficult to master the grammar); similarly traditional Chinese (easy grammar, but need a brain transplant to learn to read, write it)
I'm surprised Arabic wasn't on the short-list. How will the Brits communicate with their new overlords?
It should serve Britain well as we head into a new medieval period. There should be ample demand for scribes and illuminators.
My daughter is learning Latin right now - of couse, we're Home Schoolers.........
Had 4 years of Latin in an all girl Catholic School. Besides the vocabularly bump it gives you, it was a great history lesson, too.
Greek? That's a failing society. The language kids should learn in order to prepare for the future is Mandarin.
My daughter has had three years of Latin (grades 7-9) and now is in her second year of NT Greek at a classical Christian academy.
I have always advocated the study of Latin as a great part of becoming a well educated person. Studying Latin was the best thing for my English--understanding how grammar works, building my English vocabulary, etc. I also learned how to learn languages, which has helped in all the other languages I have studied (besides English, Latin, and Greek, also Hebrew, Aramaic, German, and Swedish).

According to Google, the page where relief funds are requested by the United Way was created three days before the shooting took place. This is a bit hard to believe. Can anyone with more Internet knowledge than I explain how this is possible?
EDITED TO ADD: Because the web page goes on to talk about all of the 911 truther nonsense, it makes it even less credible in my mind.
Dark and difficult times lie ahead. Soon we must all choose between what is right and what is easy.

I talked with the guy I know who knows the most about how this works. Very senior level engineer.
He's down with the "glitch or software error" theory - mostly because the Fed.gov is too stupid to pull something like that off. When I reminded him of Fast and Furious and while US BATFE people didn't personally shoot Mexican high school girls, they certainly ran guns to people that you'd think would shoot little girls. He kinda said, "yeah, there's that", but still thinks they're too stupid to run a real conspiracy.
That's a pretty common view among people who have worked on military contracts for Fed.gov.

Chapter 10: Love's Prison
Nel giggled softly, then covered her mouth and ducked her small body down behind a cluster of large sand smoothed bones, trying to stifle any further sounds. She listened carefully for approaching voices or footsteps and held her breath when she heard Dondachakka speaking.
"We can't find her anywhere and we've been searching forever! It must have been hours. She'll starve to death before we find her!"
"Okay," said Pesche placatingly, "First of all, it's only been about, like, twenty minutes, which I know is a long time for you to focus, but I don't think it's long enough for Nel-sama to starve...especially because we don't actually have to eat to stay alive."
"Oh, right," said Dondachakka, blushing beneath his hollow mask.
"Heheh," Pesche chuckled, "Don't worry about it."
"I should have said that she was hiding so long that we would die of old age."
"Yeah, right! Die of old age in a half hour? Heheh, just keep looking and try not to hurt yourself thinking, okay, Buddy?"
"But I'm sleepy!" complained the more portly hollow, "I never feel like I get enough sleep."
"Eh, who knows when to sleep in a place like this anyway," muttered Pesche, "It's all dark now that he is gone."
"I don't mind the dark," Dondachakka said firmly, "That guy was scary!"
"He's not so scary now, rotting away in that prison," laughed Pesche, "I wonder if they still call him Aizen-sama! Heheh, he's probably..."
"Excuse me," said a calm and chillingly familiar make voice, "Will you tell me where I can find Neliel?"
"Yi!" howled Dondachakka, "Pesche, that's...it's...!"
Pesche's eyes followed Dondachakka to where Aizen Sousuke stood, holding a lovely and unconscious male shinigami in his arms.
"Holy...hah!" stammered the hollow, "What are you doing here? I thought that you...!"
"Obviously, I am here now. And my friend is in need of healing. He was injured in a fight and I cannot wake him. I would like Neliel to heal this man, and then I will be on my way."
Aizen looked up as Nel took on her grown up hollow form and quietly stepped out from her hiding place. She placed herself carefully between Aizen and her fraccion, gazing at the unconscious man that he carried.
"Is that Rukia-chan's brother?" she asked, "Did you hurt him?"
"I did not harm him," Aizen assured her, "and this is not Rukia's brother, but her cousin...and my friend."
"He is Aizen-sama's friend?" Nel queried curiously.
"Yes, but someone hurt him and I cannot wake him."
"Very well," Nel agreed, "Bring him to me."
Aizen stepped forward and Dondachakka and Pesche edged nervously towards the lady hollow, their eyes on the former taichou. Aizen laid Tetsuya gently on the sand and knelt beside him as Nel leaned over him and laid her hands on his unmoving form.
"He does not seem overly damaged, but I will cure what wounds he has," Nel said, invoking her healing power.
"Nel, I will also need you to release the seal on my greater powers."
Nel looked at him out of the corner of an eye.
"Are you going to hurt Ichigo and his friends?"
"No," Aizen told her quietly, "I only wish to separate myself from the hougyoku. And then, I am going to leave here and return to the Kuchiki clan with my friend. Hopefully, I will be allowed to live out my days quietly among this man's family."
"And they would accept you? After everything, they would take you into their family?" Nel asked skeptically.
"You have heard of the 'white souls,' ne?" Aizen asked.
"This man is my white soul. His name is Kuchiki Tetsuya, and he was introduced to me while I was in the prison. But, someone tried to use Tetsuya to kill me. I escaped death and resolved to thwart that person's plans by removing and destroying the hougyoku myself."
"But if you do that and return to the Seireitei, will you not be executed?"
Aizen shook his head, gazing down at the unconscious shinigami.
"I married my white soul, and became a ward of the Kuchiki clan. That means that they will determine my fate. And they have said that they will only incarcerate me in their own family prison. However, I am positioning myself to perhaps win a few concessions. I do not dream of being fully freed, but certainly, I would like to not have to sit in a boring cell for thousands of years."
"Do you love Tetsuya-san?" Nel asked abruptly.
"We are soul bonded...true resonants," Aizen explained, "Although we are as yet still getting to know one another, we share a close connection."
"Ah, I see," Nel said, nodding.
She studied the younger man carefully, then looked up at Aizen.
"I have healed him, but I cannot wake him," she reported.
"Why not?"
He was stricken with a unique zanpakutou power," Nel explained, "It is a very strong sedative poison. It will not kill Tetsuya-san, but he will sleep for a long time, I think. Unless, perhaps, I free your powers and allow you to break that other power that affects him."
She glared at Aizen meaningfully.
"But I do not know if it is a good idea to allow you your powers. Last time, you tried to destroy everything! You lied to the Espadas and attacked your own people. You hurt people I care about..."
"I assure you that I will not be continuing my plans. As you know, the hougyoku has rejected me. It will no longer grant me powers sufficient to challenge the king, so I will make myself content within Tetsuya's family. Or if necessary, Tetsuya and I will live somewhere else, where no one will interfere with us."
"And what does Tetsuya-san think of your plans?"
"Well," said Aizen, smirking, "as he had been unconscious, I have not been able to discuss future plans with him. But we are married now. He is a lovely young man, as you see. I will enjoy exploring our connection."
"Hmmm," mused Nel, "I wonder how Tetsuya-san feels about that."
"He will feel much better about it once he wakes and we can discuss it. Now, if you do not mind, I would like the final seal on my powers removed. You should not unseal the hougyoku. It is no longer under my direction and could be dangerous."
"You could be dangerous too," said Nel, "I don't think that I can, in good conscience, release you."
"Although, if you do not, harm could come to Tetsuya and me, as we will have no way to defend ourselves. Come now, Nel. You can certainly see that the seal on the hougyoku is still strong. And I couldn't remove it, even if I wanted to. Urahara Kisuke used a special seal that he developed himself, so it would take some time for me to figure it out, if I even wanted to unseal it, which I do not. Add to that, I have been deprived of my zanpakutou. Even if I had my powers and called it to my hand, it has gone rogue and is not likely to obey me."
"Imagine that," Nel said with an edge of sarcasm, "Your own zanpakutou, not wanting to help you. I would say that Kyouka Suigetsu has grown wise. You are not trustworthy, Aizen-sama. However, as I do not want to be burdened watching over you myself, I will release your powers. I will leave the seal on the hougyoku...and I do hope that you can, indeed, destroy it. Then, I also hope that you will leave us in peace, Aizen Sousuke. You have damaged the ones here enough."
"I understand," Aizen agreed, watching as Nel touched the bands on his wrists and he felt his powers swell within him, "Thank you, Neliel. I will take my leave of you."
Nel glanced at Tetsuya, then bit at her lip gently.
"Wait, Aizen-sama," she said softly.
"Your husband will still not wake immediately, even now that you can use your powers to disperse the poison in his body. And you said that you will need to find a way to destroy the hougyoku, ne?"
Nel studied him quietly for a moment, considering.
"Leave Tetsuya-san with my fraccion. I will go to the fortress with you and help you to find the way to destroy the hougyoku."
Aizen shook his head gently.
"Tetsuya and I are being pursued," he explained, "And add to that the problem that Tetsuya has been unconscious for some time and will be disoriented, perhaps combative when he wakes. I plan to place him in my private garden within the fortress for safekeeping while I search for the information."
"But surely, even there, you will not leave him unguarded?" Nel said, looking alarmed, "There is a new hollow lord in the fortress, and he will not hesitate to kill you or Tetsuya-san."
"Well," Aizen said, looking amused, "He will have a hard time doing that. I am immortal because of the hougyoku, and Tetsuya, though not immortal, is affected through our link, so would be hard to kill, even unconscious as he is. I will place him in the sealed gardens, and he will be fine there."
"I will leave my fraccion with him, and I will accompany you to the archive," Nel said stubbornly, "As much as you say that you are going to destroy the hougyoku, I do not trust you, Aizen-sama."
"As well you should not," Aizen agreed, "Very well, then. We should go to the fortress now. We can use my secret entrance that will take us into the gardens, and we will leave Tetsuya there with your fraccion. They will be safe there while we enter the archive."
"Very well, Aizen-sama," Nel said solemnly, "Pesche? Dondachakka? Come."
"He sure is pretty for a guy, isn't he, Pesche?" Tetsuya heard an unfamiliar male voice say.
"Well," said another male voice, "I guess you're Aizen Sousuke, you can pretty much have anyone you want...guy or girl. He probably tricked the poor kid into marrying him...you know, used his illusions or something."
"I thought that he said that he couldn't use his sword powers," the first voice objected, "That's what he told Nel-sama, ne?"
"That's what he said, all right," the second voice agreed, "But what you have totally forgotten is that shinigami powers aren't all in their sword. The original power is in the shinigami. The sword spirit is given powers that are similar to the shinigami's original powers. Then, the two fight together. So Aizen-sama can use some illusions...so, he could have tricked pretty-san here into marrying him! See?"
Tetsuya's eyes blinked open.
"Whoa!" cried Dondachakka, jumping back and hiding behind the trunk of a plum tree and peeking out, "I thought he would be asleep longer."
"Yeah, well it's been ten hours since Nel-sama left with Aizen-sama. Hey there, Pretty-san, are you feeling better?"
"Wh-what?" stammered Tetsuya, trying to sit up, only to be shoved back down by a large hollow wearing a tiki mask, "Who are you?"
"Heh, shall we tell him, Dondochakka?" laughed Pesche.
"Uh, I think you just did," the more portly hollow said, touching a finger to his chin thoughtfully, "But okay, if you think we need to."
"TA-DA!" the two hollows yelled, launching themselves into the air.
Tetsuya blinked in confusion as the two landed in front of him, shouting varied versions of something he took to mean two great brothers of the desert...
"I'm Pesche," said the thinner, lavender colored hollow.
"And like he said already, I'm Dondochakka."
"We're Nel-sama's fraccion, you know," Pesche finished, "Nel-sama told us to care for Pretty-san until she and Aizen-sama came back, so don't worry, we've got your back, okay?"
"Eh...o-kay?" Tetsuya said, looking around at the trees and grass.
"What's wrong, Pretty-san," Dondachakka said sympathetically, are you still confused by Aizen-sama's illusions that blinded you?"
"H-his...illusion?" muttered Tetsuya, "Um, no, actually. I...you say that Aizen Sousuke brought me here?"
"Uh-huh," said Pesche, "What, did I say it too quietly or something? You didn't hear me?"
"Oh, I heard," Tetsuya said, warming somewhat to the two unusually personable hollows, "I just..."
"...cause I can say it again, louder if you want," Pesche blundered on.
"Oh, no," said Tetsuya, shaking his head, then wishing he hadn't as pain cracked across his brow, "I didn't mean that."
"Well," Pesche said, tilting his head, "You should really learn to say what you mean, you know? We can't exactly read your mind here...and Dondachakka, he can't read at all!"
"Yes, well, what I meant was...when I was...wherever I was before, a man had captured me and was trying to..."
He paused, thinking that it might not be good to share too much about his predicament.
"Did...did anyone else come here with Aizen Sousuke and me?" he asked, "A man with brown hair or another noble, like me?"
"Nope," said Dondachakka, "And we were surprised too, him coming here all alone and with his powers sealed. But Nel-sama released his powers, so now he can..."
"She what?" Tetsuya exclaimed, looking alarmed, "He is without restraints on his powers?"
"Man, you really need to get your ears checked, Pretty-san. That's what I said!" confirmed Pesche.
"Oh no..." Tetsuya said softly, looking down at his hands, "And he didn't ask your master to unseal my bonds?"
"Eh, no," said Pesche, "She asked that, but he said that you might have been hypnotized by someone bad and you could be not in your right mind. But you look okay to me, except for making me repeat everything."
"Can you release the seal on my powers?" asked Tetsuya.
"Nope! No way!" exclaimed Pesche, "Because, how do we know that the bad guy who stole you didn't leave you hypnotized to kill us all!"
"Well, I hardly think that he would have known that Aizen would bring me..."
He looked around, frowning.
"Pesche-san, where are we?" he asked.
"Las Noches," Pesche said, nodding.
"But..." Tetsuya mused, looking around him, "There are...and...?"
"Oh," laughed Pesche, "This room is Aizen-sama's enchanted gardens. He didn't like how dark and cold everything was when he got here, so he made this place and sealed it so no one could come in but him and the high ranking Espadas and their fraccion. He wanted you to be safe while he and Nel-sama went to the fortress archive. He'll come back, though, and then if he thinks it's okay and you're not hypnotized, he can unseal your powers, all right?"
"V-very well," said Tetsuya, settling back against a tree and looking around at the gardens.
"Are you hungry?" asked Dondachakka, "You can have some fruit from the trees or we can make you something. And if you want a bath, Pretty-san, there is a bathing pool."
"My name is Tetsuya," the noble informed the hollows, "And I think I will have a walk around and maybe eat something."
"Okay, but we have to go with you," said Pesche, "Wouldn't want you to get lost in here..."
"I think I'll be all right," Tetsuya assured him, "But thank you."
He climbed slowly to his feet and started towards an apple tree, but stopped short as another tall hollow with bright, light blue hair and eyes stepped out from behind a tree in front of him.
"Eeee-yaw!" howled Dondachakka, "G-grimmjow, what are you doing here!"
Grimmjow stepped closer to Tetsuya, glaring down into the noble's widened blue eyes.
"Came to get some food, but...looks like I found something a whole lot more interesting..."
He took hold of the front of Tetsuya's yukata, making the noble gasp softly and stiffen.
"So, who are you...what did they call you, Pretty-san? Who are you, and what are you doing in Las Noches with your powers sealed away, Pretty-san?"

About Us
My love, or obssession for Nollywood movies began from childhood. When the children would be sent out to rent movies from local shops, and we sat as a family watching, eating, drinking, and laughing. I can still remember my first film, which was Living in Bondage, the first Nigerian movie to be produced. I grew up with stars like Genevieve Nnaji, Omotola Jalade Ekiende, Pete Edochie, Patience Ozokwor, Nkem Owoh, Emeka Ike, Ramsey noauh, Pat Attah, Nkiru Sylvanus, Sam Loco, John Okafor, Chiwetalu Agu, Aki and Paw-Paw, Stephanie Okereke, Stella Damasus, RMD, Muna Obiekwe, Chiege Aliesigwe, and all the other foundations of Nollywood. As the years progress, We noticed that the nollywood movies we love has begun to loose its morals and value. We meaning, My sister and I. It was not about entertainment anymore, it was more about making money. Anyone could write a script, anyone could act. It was not the same Nollywood, i knew and grew to love. My sister and i sat down one day to watch a Nollywood movie, My Baby Boy, and that is what pushed us over the edge. We could not believe such nonsense was produced and released in Nollywood. I still can not believe it and i will be forever scarred by that movie. We set out to let our view known on Nollywood movies and thus our website was born. We are not here to Condemn Nollywood, but to give constructive criticism by bringing our unbiased opinion. This is the Rave about Nollywood. Welcome and Enjoy!

You could fit the Tower of London in the Rain-forest Biome. The Guinness Book of Records heralds the Biomes as the biggest conservatories in the world. Building these 'lean-to greenhouses' on an uneven surface that changed shape was tricky: 'bubbles' were used because they can settle on any shaped surface – the architect got the idea while washing up!

An Abundance of Katherines
John Green
Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd
Format: Paperback
When it comes to relationships, Colin Singleton's type is girls named Katherine. And when it comes to girls named Katherine, Colin is always getting dumped. Nineteen times, to be exact. On a road trip miles from home, this anagram-happy, washed-up child prodigy has ten thousand dollars in his pocket, a bloodthirsty feral hog on his trail, and an overweight Judge Judy - loving best friend riding shotgun - but no Katherines. Colin is on a mission to prove The Theorem of Underlying Katherine Predictability, which he hopes will predict the future of any relationship, avenge Dumpees everywhere, and finally win him the girl. Love, friendship, and a dead Austro-Hungarian archduke add up to surprising and heart-changing conclusions in this ingeniously layered comic novel about reinventing oneself. From the "New York Times" bestselling author of "The Fault in Our Stars" and "Looking for Alaska", John Green. John has a huge online presence through his 1.1 million Twitter followers and YouTube channel Vlogbrothers, which has been viewed over 200 million times and has 660,000 subscribers, making it one of the most successful online channels in history.

RELAC Update: 10:28am Sunday 5/29
I spoke with Mike Coleman at the plant and had an email exchange with the head of Aqua Virginia in Richmond. At 11:30 last night a pump failed, which blew out some control switches which are now being repaired. One chiller has been restarted and they say we should start to notice some cooling by 1:00 this afternoon.

Several residents have reported that there are grinding noises and vibrations coming from the RELAC plant, similar to what happened before the pump failure last month. I have notified Greg Odell at Aqua VA in Richmond but have not heard back. Hopefully this is not a precursor of another breakdown.ReplyDelete

I am a first grade teacher who decided to get healthy and lose weight. I lost about 115 pounds in a year and a half. I wanted to get healthy and start my family. I am now moving on to the "family" part of my journey in life. Update (Jan 2015) - I am so lucky to finally have the family I wanted. I have 2 kids (ages 4 and 1). My weight is still down 70 pounds but the life changes getting back to goal weight is DIFFICULT. I have also recently taken a new job at school as an instructional coach.

Time for a Make-Over
But, no more. Now it is time for MY life. Starting with working on this sad looking blog. It needed an updated look. Especially since I am officially done losing weight for the time being. I will still be talking about weight and health and exercise. Just not in "losing" terms anymore. I must admit, it makes me a little sad. Although I have pretty much just maintained my weight for the past 4 or 5 months it is sad to step on a scale and not anticipate a loss. The excitement is gone (but so is the occasional disappointment). I changed my ticker to a baby ticker. I will update you on weight gains but I will not be logging it on Fridays. Just too depressing for me. I feel decent and I do not want the numbers to change that.
I am feeling very lucky. Aside from being hungry and tired, I would not know I was pregnant. Thank goodness my boobs don't hurt (yet) I jump around in my workouts far too much. I am a super crabby person if I am nauseous (not a good trait in a teacher). But the tiredness when it hits is unbelievable. And the hunger. My god...it is like you must feed me NOW. I SAID NOW!! I have never known anything like it. I added 300 calories into my diet (some days it is a little more). I am reading books that say you do not need to add those calories in until the 2nd trimester. Holy crap! You try telling that to this little hungry grain of rice growing inside of me. Hopefully these extra weeks of extra calories won't harm me too much weight wise. My body feels the need. And alot of the calories are coming from fruit and cereal.
Since it is spring break I will be getting my hair cut and add a bit of color. Don't worry, I asked and it is safe. I only get a hair cut about every 4 months. I have not changed the color in well over a year. I do not want to do any blond as it reminds me of when I was my heaviest. My ma thinks if I go darker it will look bad. So I am thinking just some golden highlights. We will see. I usually let my hairdresser decide. After all, she is the professional. I am excited about it. Now I have to wait until Wednesday.
I look forward to catching up on blogs and relaxing. I hope you all have a super weekend!

The calorie recommendations are probably for women who haven't had a calorie defecit for as long as you. Most women who are as active as you probably need to eat about 2500 calories to maintain. I'm only five foot tall and can eat 2500 on my active days according to my super awesome Fitbit. That's probably why you are so hungry.
I'm sure it will be hard adjusting to gaining weight after so long of that being taboo. But hopefully you'll still be really healthy and the pregnancy will go really well! You're gonna be a mommy!

I knew I liked you. We have the same blog background. =) Anyway you are making a life there-it really does take a lot of energy at first. My energy always picked up by the second trimester. I am so excited for you and look forward to your updates.

Oh man I hated that pregnant boob pain!!! Ouch!! I'd forgotten about it until you mentioned it. Try not to worry too much about the weight...I know easier said than done. I look forward to watching/reading about your pregnancy. Hopefully my weight will be gone by the time you deliver!!!

Loving the new theme! It's awesome! And I can NOT believe I didn't know you were pregnant. I feel so awful! CONGRATULATIONS!!! That's so awesome!!!!
And I get you on the not posting about weight in losing terms. It's a strange shift, huh?

Congrats on your amazing baby news! It's great that you're really listening to your body and adding the extra calories to your allowence - forget about what the books say, you know your body best! Enjoy your makeover, I hope you feel empowered and like a new person after it!

Congrats on the baby news.

My boobs are hurting for the both of us, lol!
Don't worry about the weight, girl. If you're eating healthy stuff and eating when you are hungry, then you are doing everything right.
I cannot wait to get out of the first trimester so I can stay up past 8:30PM, lol!
Take care of yourself!

Congratulations!!! I can't wait to see pics of your new hair do, and hopefully you get your energy back soon! I made a similar post as you on my blog recently! It will be nice to have someone to compare notes with, in regards to excersise and pregnancy!

- cmoursler said...
It'll be okay. Do keep a hold of your calories...but don't restrict them. I gave myself 'permission' to eat during my first pregnancy and gained 60 lbs...I gave myself permission to eat healthily and walk during my second pregnancy and gained 20 lbs. Second pregnancy, much smoother.

Congratulations! We just announced we are pregnant too! I'm going to follow you so I can see how you're doing! Congrats again!

Advantage ICF System®
The Advantage ICF System® is now a mainstream building product. Its popularity continues to grow as architects, specifiers, building contractors, and the public at large, become increasingly familiar with the benefits of using Insulating Concrete Forming (ICF) systems in residential and commercial construction projects.
Advantage ICF is a one-piece, stay-in-place, insulating concrete form made of expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation. A series of strong plastic web connectors are permanently molded into two EPS panels to create a building block. The integral plastic webs act as the studs in a wall assembly, and are spaced at either 6 or 8 inches on center.
The Advantage ICF System is a patented insulating concrete forming system consisting of two layers of expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation connected with web connectors moulded into the EPS insulation. The top and bottom edges of Advantage ICF System blocks have pre-formed interlocking mechanisms which ensure web connectors align vertically for attachment of surface finish materials.
