If your 1st response to the shooting of dozens of children was to rush out in a 2nd amendment frenzy to buy guns, you are a loathsome human.I don't know anyone who's "1st response to the shooting of dozens of children was to rush out in a 2nd amendment frenzy to buy guns." That was not the first response of the gun community, not at all. There was a local gun show the weekend after it happened and it was not packed, no one was buying everything in sight and there was no rush to buy AR-15's or AK's. The panic buying was the response to the news that the government was going to reinstate the "assault weapons" ban - only stronger. That was when people started the buying frenzy.
--Dave Foley
What I find loathsome, Dave, is people who paint millions of law-abiding, decent people as evil because their hobby is shooting or they have guns for self-defense. It takes willful ignorance to not understand the difference between a criminal and a law-abiding citizen.
In fact, it was the anti-gunners on the left who were sitting on this legislation waiting to take advantage of a tragedy so they could push it through while emotions were high. Witness New York. That is also loathsome.

I came home from running an errand and this is how I found Sean & Keilei, except Sean was asleep as well. She out and about to fall off the couch but it was so cute.
She is getting really good at mimicking people lately. She will click her tongue and stick out her tongue, etc. Last night she was trying to blow spit bubbles it was funny. I think she is going to start teething again soon. She has been sticking out her tongue a lot, and she does it like she is feeling her gums or teeth, and she is drooling again more often too.
Keilei has also taken up sucking on a pacifier recently. She's been crawling around with it for the last couple days. There has always been one in her toy box because she plays with it and chews on it but about 4 days ago she found it and played with it for over an hour and then started sucking on it. She had it with her all day. Now she sucks on pacifiers...weird baby. We are making sure she doesn't get to attached I don't want to worry about that whole drama.
We have been really good. We are still trying to get odds and ends unpacked and organized. I honestly don't know how we fit all our crap in our old little place. Sean got a part time job at Joy Ride a bike shop in Logan. It is owned by the Kory. Sean knew him previously he took our wedding pictures 3 years ago. I think he used to live in AZ. So Sean is happy about that. We thought he would have to wait until spring to get on at a bike shop cause it is coming up on the slow season up here.
Next is the best news of all! Beka, my sister in law(Brandon's wife), is PREGO!!! I am so excited for her. She is going to be a great mom. Their baby is going to have the coolest, craftiest, hip stuff ever, Beka is so good at that stuff. She is also great at taking pictures so I can't wait to see the ones she will take of her little one, you know once the baby gets here. She is due in April I believe if I heard right & remember correctly. Congrats Beka & Brandon!

After a long journey to diagnosis, sleep study, tritration and finally a prescription (... Did you bring your data card? asked the tech when I thought I was going to see the Dr. "What data card" I asked, you haven't sent me or the DME a script yet."....) I finally had an appointment to go in and get my machine. Except when I got home from work the night before there were 2 messages on my answering machine do to a death in my therapist's family my appointment was being moved from 9:00 (I'd rescheduled a previous appointment to make this... Getting my machine was more important than the haircut I also need.... to 11:00 which is when I had to be on the road to Atlanta to make a 1:00 appointment that couldn't be rescheduled. I was heartbroken, but knew that I would have to reschedule for next Friday.
I got up yesterday, made my way to the DME which also houses my pharmacy so that I could get more blood pressure meds and reschedule, but broke down crying as I was trying to explain that they had to find a time for me the next Friday before all the afternoon appointments that I had scheduled (and rescheduled). Seeing me at the end of my coping skills they got me in and started the issue the equipment they had already picked out for me.
As the very nice respiratory therapist who gave up her own appointment in employee health in order to see me before I had to leave for Atlanta was taking out a S9 Elite I was saying that I wanted a ResMed S9 AutoSet with humidifier and heated hose and that I wanted to try the Airfit P10 nasal pillows and the Pilairo Q. She stopped, looked at me flabergasted and fumbled to get my script out of the chart, "No, your Dr. has ordered a CPAP for you with a pressure of 6. I can't give you the AutoSet."
"Sure you can," I replied. "The AutoSet can be set to CPAP and then you can put my pressure at 6."
"But your insurance won't pay if your doctor orders a CPAP" I was told.
"But the codes are the same. The insurance company doesn't care. They will pay for either," I counter.
"But they cost different. We can't do that," she stutters looking again at my prescription. "Oh wait... your doctor wants all this data... uhm... uhm.. I don't think this machine does that. You'll have to have the AutoSet."
I kept my mouth shut.
The Elite was packed up and returned to the storeroom and the AutoSet brought out. We then worked through getting it set up with the therapist actually letting me be involved as long as it was turned to CPAP and a pressure of 6. I goofed up when we got to the data setting and it got put to usage but she was trying to give me access. She just didn't realize (and neither did I) that she hadn't. Something else is turned on that is normally turned off so that we "uniformed consumers" are messing with the machine. But since I was obviously well read on the subject and was going to want to see whatever that lets you see she left it on for me. ... I'll figure it out eventually.
Next we worked on the masks. No Airfit P10's. Not carried. When asked why she couldn't give a good reason and rambled on about how little storage space they have and the need to keep replacement cushions which come in 3 sizes (you know) in stock. We went on the the Piliaro Q which they did stock & I really liked. Then the chink strap. Then I asked for the software to go with the machine, stating that I knew insurance wouldn't cover it, but I was willing to pay for it. I got another one of those blank looks. "There is no software for this machine," I was told. "Of course there is," I replied getting out my iPad and pulling up an internet page with the machine and all the specs for it. So she's still researching that one.
Lots of paperwork later and I'm finally on my way at 11:00.
What she taught me though, she did well & I was able to assemble my machine last night, get the headgear on & have everything function perfectly. She had be practicing each step while we were setting things up and I greatly appreciate that. Then I read for about 20 minutes to get used to breathing with the machine, turned the lights out and was asleep very shortly thereafter. (about 12:20 am). I slept for 2 hours, got up to use the bathroom forgetting that I only had to unhook the hose. Managed in the dark to put the headgear back on and then spent about an hour getting back to sleep. But I did. And slept until 6:30 this morning with only short arousals to reposition the mask & check the time to see if I'd made it to 4 hours yet. After reaching that mark I seemed to relax better and just slept the last 2 hours. I don't remember waking anyway.
I got up then, let my parent's dog out (visiting for Mother's Day) and fed her. Then read the machine's manuals, cleaned the mask, and figured out we messed up the reporting settings yesterday, came here and found the information, reset the controls, read the screen report, looked up the information on the HPA Lanolin I wanted to try tonight and then realized I'd gotten this all done before 8:00 AM!!!! It was amazing.
I'm tired now, but overall I've had a pretty good day. I'm actually looking forward to going to sleep tonight. I'm praying that it will be another good one.
Sorry, I realize this is long, but I'm so glad to finally be a "hosehead" that I wanted to share it with you all.

The Perfect Christmas Outfit Picture!!
This picture is a perfect example of how each child is in a picture.
Samantha- She has her eyes closed! We always have to take twice as many photos if she is in them. She can't help but blink or look away EVERYTIME we take her picture.
Jaxsyn- A poser (usually sassy) she always is ready to pose for a photo! And even has the head tilt down.
Coleman- He is always wishing that he didn't have to take pictures. And he is squinting, he has never liked it when it is bright.
Ashlynn- She has always been very photogenic, thankfully! She seems to know exactly how she looks her best! She has been like this since she was 2!

A little update about all of us!
Ryan- Last April he switched companies from Blendtec to Traegar Pellet Grills. He has the exact same job but for a different company! He is building Traegar's Costco program just like he did for Blendtec. Since this company is based in Oregon he was working from home for about 7 months until the opened there sales office here. It was soooo much fun to have him home, I still miss him going to work everyday (cheesy I know but I was about 1000 times better than I thought it would to have him home!)! He is so busy that his travel as really been cut down which has been a nice break.
Chelsi- I am happily unemployed! I quit working in January which was a very long and hard decision, but I really wanted to focus my time on Jaxsyn's last year at home and also taking care of myself (losing weight!!), planning trips and just making lists I want to accomplish. I am loving that ages of my kids right now they all seem to be in a good place.
Samantha-11 Has done a lot of growing up this year. She has made some amazing choices this year that has just shown me what a strong woman she will become. She is doing awesome in school and has found a love of soccer. She is a very good helper and is terrified of the basement!
Ashlynn-9 Is getting to the age where I think my kids should just stay put! She is a very smart girl and when she stops socializing (don't know where she got this from) she learns quickly! She is a very talented dancer and wants to try her hand at soccer this spring. She is boy crazy and seems to like a messy room (don't know where she learned that either!
Coleman-8 He is a charmer still. He can't help it, it is a gift. He is a quiet leader and an example to others. Is a inventor and builds new things and has big ideas all the time (wow, that reminds me of Ryan!) He is a very good athlete soccer, wrestling and in the fall football are his favorite sports to play. He has is very quick witted, and can't walk by a single piece of trash he doesn't want to bring home and make something out of it!
Jaxsyn-4 The princess still. We had a rough time for a bit teaching her that she is not in charge of the family and after about 6 weeks of tantrums, timeouts and lost privileges she learned who the bosses really are and has been a good girl since! She is a cute little dancer and loses to place house with all the boys in the neighborhood. She likes to play with the boys because they let her boss them around. She loves to tell us that we are the best mom and dad in the whole wide world and the neighborhood. She is a little cutie and a night owl who I am sure will be life of the party once we let her stay up past 8:30!
I am still looking for that camera cord! But when I do I will update you all!

Spheres – continued
As I have written previously, I have particularly thinking about the sphere, and how to build it. Unfortunately the firing of my wafer thin sphere did not go according to plan. It sank quite a bit, and caused the rim to move and shift. Not a very successful firing. This is not because of the thickness of the clay, but rather the size of the vessel. In the same kiln I fired a sphere made with thicker walls that have thin "spots" to let the light in – as I have been exploring previously in the module. This sphere was of the same size, and it also sank quite a bit. Admittedly not quite as much as the thin vessel due to the thickness of the walls. Thicker walls do give better support. I also think I prefer the look of the thicker vessel.
The question now is what to do about it. Initially the thought was to try building larger and larger pieces, including the spheres. However, what has been going around in my mind is what a "piece" consists of. Does one piece necessarily have to be one object? I have been doing many comparisons, with light and colour, and I think that the different pieces should reflect that. I have come to the decision of grouping vessels together to show contrasts and changes that occur, for example a series of vessel showing the effect of placement of colour, and how the light changes according to this placement.
I also want to scale the vessels according to the number of vessels in a group. Fewer vessels meaning larger vessels, making the groupings roughly the same size regardless of the number of vessels. Then why not have several smaller spheres? I think a smaller sphere would be an interesting contrast to the taller vessels, like the cone or cylinder. The sphere is very different from the other forms, and I think it would be interesting to accentuate that difference with smaller spheres.

A 13-year-old Indian girl infected with a strain of tuberculosis resistant to all known anti-TB drugs recently died from the illness.
The girl is one of eight patients confirmed with extremely drug resistant TB by the Indian National Tuberculosis Center in Bangalore, according to HindustanTimes.com.
She originally tested positive for the lung infection three years ago and was treated by a series of private doctors.
"She had completed two full regimens of the treatment before she was brought to us," a senior civil health official said, HindustanTimes.com reports. "Patients should approach us directly to avoid any delay in treatment."
After initial treatment failed, she was given the Directly Observed Treatment Shortcourse Plus for extensively resistant cases by the Revised National Tuberculosis Program at a hospital in Goregaon.
The Revised National Tuberculosis Program continues to treat five of the six known remaining XXDR-TB cases in India. The sixth patient is being treated at Hinduja Hospital in Mahim, where the illness was initially identified and reported.
The World Health Organization recently warned that tuberculosis could become incurable if governments fail to act.
The WHO blames a reduction in public health funding, the sale of inaccurate blood tests and the misuse of TB medicine, especially in the private health sector, for hampering the fight against TB and boosting its resistance to frontline drugs, according to ZeeNews.India.com.
Extreme drug-resistant strains of TB have been confirmed in at least 70 countries. Doctors in India, Iran and Italy have reported seeing patients that have shown resistance to all known TB medications.

Welcome to CAREER-WISE WAYS ...
CWW Career-Wise Ways has grown up. We are facilitating some sustainable disciples of career success that beg to be shared and explored. Career success depends on more than being qualified on paper.
CWW Career-Wise Ways is a perpetual state of being and means that in every situation, the outcome or behavior and action will enhance (or detract) from career growth. CWW Career-Wise-Ways is what you practice every day that you work.
CWW Career-Wise Ways is using what you know to get where you have to go – on the job, in your life and in your passion for living.
CWW Career-Wise Ways is your experiences and several jobs strung together over a period of time make a career. Career development is a process that you have to do for yourself, no one can do it for you.
It is skill, plus experience, technical know-how and how well you communicate. It is your ability to organize your priorities. It is your professional appearance and demeanor. It is your desire to continually get better at what you do so you can build momentum toward higher levels of achievement.
Too many times career survival is left to the slippery slopes of luck or fate. At CWW, we believe you should be able to say that you made some deliberate, positive on-purpose choices about the kinds of work you do and jobs you've held, as you steer the paths of your career. Positive thinking is a primary element of professional success. And ever so often we look for words of inspiration to carry us along. This inspiration has been shaped into powerful Wise Ways quotations and bits and pieces of inspiration to rely on when you need a little extra boost. Some of these Wise Ways have been learned over time by trial and error or have been passed on by mentors, role models and cheering squads who have empowered us with their words.
Career changes are inevitable no matter how they happen. We prefer that our changes happen in positive circumstances such as a promotion, a new job, achieving a degree or getting an enormous bonus. Nobody likes when a career change is forced. Most of us choose to perform our jobs well enough so that we are rewarded for a good performance and hard work. I found myself answering this question over and over again so much so that it made sense to brand and package it. Not only that, I trademarked it.
My favorite tip is: "Nothing builds confidence like a long list of accomplishments". At CWW, we you members and users to feel empowered to do what is necessary to get the job - or get the job done.

The internet site is not the only area exactly where an on-line retailer can make adjustments. Any professional medical scrubs retailer can excellent presenting their product as properly. When a healthcare professional's hospital uniform comes at their doorstep, they will need to uncover that opening their items is extra like opening a present: put every single set of scrubs in tissue paper and enclose them in a gift box.
Another critical element you can increase to your website is choice delivery providers and return labels to make returns and exchanges a breeze. Also be confident to transform the invoice so that there is a return/trade sort involved with the customer's get. These seemingly smaller improvements make an massive variation to customers. Just after all, great client services must be the number one target. Your nursing scrubs and scrub caps are good but you must also have the buyer services to back again up your amazing line of professional medical attire.

Though I was strolling because of a area grocery retail outlet not long ago, I couldn't aid noticing that countless of the females I saw in the retailer ended up putting on a fashion of garments that not extended in the past was most commonly only worn by nurses and others in the health care discipline though performing their perform duties. The use of scrubs as general purpose apparel is a trend that has become well-known for a number of reasons. The Television sequence Scrubs, a widely favorite comedy-drama put together in 2001 surely had an influence with its cast of scrubs-outfitted stars. Grey's Anatomy, one other Television series drama focused to the healthcare subject even has its own scrubs line. The popularizing of the health care occupation in American way of life has brought with it a new pattern in dress, specifically for gals.
The expression "scrubs" was to begin with utilised as a designation for the garments put to use by health care specialists simply because of the method followed by surgeons, surgical nurses, and other surgery personnel prior to getting into the running room. "Scrubbing in" refers to sterilization (scrubbing down fingers and arms along with dressing in surgical apparel) of clinical personnel prior to performing a medical procedures. The apparel worn by these individuals by natural means grew to become known as scrubs.
When strolling down the streets currently, it is easy to identify a medical skilled by the cotton scrub set they are almost certainly sporting. On tv and in the videos, medical professionals, nurses and other health and fitness industry experts are ordinarily donning some type of scrub uniform. In actuality, most, if not all, hospitals need health care personnel to have on scrubs although at give good results. Low cost scrub set are so well known that they have become the regular hospital attire. Scrubs, having said that, have not been about forever.
Everybody is acquainted with the regular nurse's uniform. For example, the stereotypical nurse is typically portrayed putting on a white uniform, a white hat, and some variety of red cross. Whilst the normal nurse's uniform dates far back in background, the creation of a scrub choice uniform for doctors is a reasonably current phenomenon. Through the early years of surgery, medical professionals would practice in their street apparel. Sometimes a butcher's apron would be worn to continue to keep blood off of the doctor's street garments. The sight of the blood and other bodily fluids on the doctor's clothing was not problematic, but a sign that a medical doctor had lots of patients and was, for that reason, productive. medical scrubs online for women

I guess that depends on the type of vacation... Drinking and partying would be Cabo for me.... just relaxing I actually like Coronado... but I dont really do that much of that stuff...... I like back packing and camping so for me anything past a wilderness boundary and away from people would be my preference.

There are two things I know for sure – 1. I'm a huge Scentsy fan and 2. I find it really difficult to find a handbag that I truly love. I've had lots of bags that I've thought were okay and useable, but very few that I've loved.
I'm always pleased when I see a company that I adore (and one that I know makes quality products!) expand into an area where I've always struggled to find what I'm looking for because the result generally is a very happy me!
Grace Adele was my latest foray in searching for the perfect handbag . Grace Adele is owned by Scentsy and include a variety of bags, jewelry and accessories that are sold through a network of Independent Consultants across North America.
In trying to find the ideal bag, I could through the 5 step process to help me choose something that would be right for me. The steps to customizing my bag included: 1) Pick My Colour 2) Choose My Bag 3) Add My Clutch 4) Style My Bag, by adding clip-ons and accessories and 5) Style Me, which finishes the look with coordinating scarves and jewelry.
For me, the Lily Bag is a perfect fit! It combines the space that I crave in a handbag (particularly because of the Intelligent Interior that keeps the bag neatly organized with inside pockets for accessories including a wallet, makeup bag, and notebook, as well as space for a cell phone and keys). I appreciate the durability of this bag (because I tend to give my handbags a beating!) and the extra zippered pocket in the back, which has become the perfect place to put my keys (as I tend to lose them inside any bag!). I really like the fact that the snaps are magnetic which makes it even easier to do up if you are in hurry (which again generally applies to me!) And, while the bag is made of faux leather, I honestly couldn't tell the difference because its leather-grain appearance and how soft it is to the touch.
And the Lily Bag is complimented by the May Clutch. I love the fact that this clutch is incredibly versatile – I can carry it without a strap as a clutch, I can attach a strap (which is adjustable, allowing me the long strap I like to have when dressing casually) or I can nestle it in the front of my Lily Bag to give it an even more dramatic appearance!
The combination of styles is exactly what makes Grace Adele bags so amazing! Each Grace Adele handbag features a pocket on the outside designed to display a Grace Adele coordinating clutch, which gives the bag added style (hallelujah to that!). And, if I want even more looks, I can choose from six different clutches in seven colours which would give my Lily Bag a whole new look!
I'm already making my Christmas lists and I'm thinking that it might (Who am I kidding? It already does!) include a number of the Grace Adele clutches because I know what I like and, once I find it, I want a number of different options to expand my look!

Tree Swallows
4 comments:
What exciting pictures to take. You know, if I saw one of those birds perched on a post from distance I'd simply swear it was a bluebird or BlueJay, but I'm sure in flight they have that characteristic jet fighter look reminiscent of the early 1950s Korean War era.ReplyDelete
We have found that placing 2 bird houses about 10 feet apart allows bluebirds to nest near aggressive tree swallows without geting displaced.ReplyDelete
What great pictures! I hope we get to see the babies, too. :)ReplyDelete
Hi Kevin. You're right with your in flight description.ReplyDelete
Hi James. I tried that when I first set out boxes, but later I split the pairs because one box always seemed to remain empty. I hadn't thought about it since, but with the increasing population of Tree Swallows, I should probably try again. I guess I'll have to make some more boxes.
Hi Lois. There's a good chance that one or two baby pictures will show up here.

Title: Taken By Desire
Series: Demonic Desires
Author: Valerie Twombly
Genre: Paranormal, demonic/demon, romance
Publisher: Owl City Press
Blurb: Greydon has two important missions: Find his brothers and rescue his people. His duty becomes complicated when he's forced to beg a human to save his life.
Aimee Jarvis always considered her bookstore a detour to bigger things. Little did she realize her next stop would be the intriguing world of a demon prince. Yet, she finds the dangerous Greydon alluring.
While their attraction continues to burn, they both deny what their hearts already know. It will take the mystery of an ancient civilization and a shocking discovery for them to admit their desire.
.:: Amazon Kindle Link ::.
Challenge: Pnr, pick-para, netgalley, fantasy/flight
Thoughts: Valerie Twombly you outdo yourself with every book I read! Liked the idea of warring demons and gods fighting against each other. Some parts like with Garrett or her girlfriend felt a bit forced but the storyline makes up for it. Can not wait for the next book, already put a note to myself when the next Eternally Mated comes out.
Other books to look into:
–Protector Panther (Protection INC. #3) by Zoe Chant
–Stirring Up Trouble (Warlocks MacGregor Book 3) by Michelle M. Pillow
–World of The Nightwalker series by Jacquelyn Frank
–Fall Into Darkness (Eternally Mated #1) by Valerie Twombly [Book 2 coming soon!]

Another birthday :)
Today we celebrated my nephew Tyler's 2nd Birthday. Mum and I were just saying we remember so clearly rushing down to the hospital two years ago today to see the latest addition to our family. Tyler is my sister Kay's grandson - her youngest daughter, Theresa's son. Tonight I'm just going to post some of the photos from this afternoon. They're not all brilliant quality as I was shooting without using my flash and some are a bit grainy. Hope you enjoy them anyway.
When we arrived Tyler was keen to show us the Playdoh he'd got for his birthday
Practicing blowing out candles so he's ready for the birthday cake (Kay's holding him)
Mummy watches Tyler open one of his presents
Postman Pat! I think he liked it.
Sitting patiently :)
Look at those little feet! xx
When's the birthday cake coming?
On it's way!
Blowing out the candles for real!
And again!!
The cake was delicious.
Hope you enjoyed the rest of your birthday Tyler. Love you lots xx

really? i mean really. all it is, it's nothing. i mean, it's something. but nothing really. we're just these asteroids out there in space orbiting, fuck, i don't know what, the sun i guess. and we're just going along and every so often our trajectories cross and we collide and omg it's cataclysmic… no explosive… no… it's just amazing. because no one can collide with me like you do. but that's all it is. then we're back in our orbits. mine is over here and yours is way out there and that's all it's ever been.
sometimes i think about you way too much.

Help! My 7 month old daughter is making it impossible for me to clean. How can I keep her occupied yet safe while I'm cleaning the house? I enjoy every moment I spend with my daughter but I can't stand to let my home fall apart. She has learned to crawl and is into everything and if I put her in a crib or play pen or a walker she's only quiet for like 5 minutes then she crying and asking "mama!" What can I do?

Metrobank Foundation, Inc. Awards Howie Severino "Journalists Of The Year"
Documentarist and GMA News TV anchor Howie Severino (third from right) is named one of Metrobank Foundation's Journalists of the Year; with him are (from left to right): GMA AVP for Corporate Affairs Teresa L. Pacis, Probe Media Foundation, Inc. Executive Director Yasmin Mapua-Tang, Metrobank Foundation, Inc. President Aniceto M. Sobrepeña, and GMA Chairman and CEO Atty. Felipe L. Gozon.
Documentarist and GMA News TV anchor Howie Severino was named one of the winners of the 2015 Search for Journalists of the Year (JOY) organized by the Metrobank Foundation, Inc., which is awarded only every two years.
The award honors Filipino journalists whose excellence throughout their careers has contributed to nation-building and sets an example for the profession.
Severino has worked in television since 1997, but was also an award-winning newspaper reporter prior to TV and was editor-in-chief of GMA News Online from 2009 to 2014.
He is well known for a series of documentaries on Jose Rizal, widely shown in schools and which inspired Ilustrado, GMA Network's teleserye on the life and times of Rizal.
"I am so honored by this award because it re-cognizes my entire 27-year career in journalism. But I am also very humbled because I know that TV journalism more than any other kind of journalism is a team enterprise," says Severino. "Anything I have ever achieved in TV is also the product of the talented and committed professionals I am lucky enough to work with."
The other winners are Nancy Carvajal, Senior Reporter of the Philippine Daily Inquirer who broke the PDAF pork barrel scam story, and Marites Vitug, author of book-length investigations of the Supreme Court and Editor-at-Large of Rappler.
During the formal award ceremony on October 22, 2015, the three winners will each receive a cash prize and the Pamukaw medallion designed by Jun Vicaldo, a winner of the Metrobank Foundation Prize for Achievement in Sculpture (MPAS).
They will also be conferred the title "Metrobank Foundation Fellows in Journalism" and will be given the opportunity to share their expertise and experience through lectures in Metro Manila and other regions of the country.
The winners were chosen through a process conducted by the Probe Media Foundation. The Final Board of Judges was chaired by Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales and composed of members Commission on Elections Chairperson Andres Bautista; Commission on Higher Education (CHEd) Chairperson Dr. Patricia Licuanan; Ateneo de Manila University President Fr. Jose Ramon Villarin; and Ramon Magsaysay Award Foundation President Carmencita Abella.
Severino also serves as GMA Network's Vice President for Professional Development, one of those responsible for developing journalism standards and policies for the network.
Fellow GMA Network journalists Jiggy Manicad and Malou Mangahas were awarded in the first edition of the Search for Journalists of the Year in 2013. Mangahas also heads the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism. /MP

I See the Light!
My drive home today contained something I haven't seen in days--blue sky. There were little glimpses of it between the clouds that have hung over us for what seems like weeks. Bits of sun reflected magnificiently off the Hancock Building as passed through my favorite overlook in the Blue Hills. It gave me hope that everything that's raining down on me is going to eventually break to reveal the light.

On facebook, everyone connected with everything they care about. This concept is the core of the facebook social graph. For third-party applications that want to access the social graph, then it must apply the Graph API. Each object in the social graph always has a unique ID, Graph API will access the object based on a unique ID. The object referred to the social graph are: you, your applications, your friend, and others. You who have accounts on facebook, will automatically have a unique ID. The format Graph API is a secure network, we can use the Graph API through FB.api. For example, the Graph API to your ID has a format like the following
However, if you want to access the Graph API to private property, you can replace YourID with me. Consider the following format Graph API
https://graph.facebook.com/YourID has same meaning with https://graph.facebook.com/me
All objects in the social graph are connected through relationship. Suppose you like the application threelas.com then you can access it through the Graph API Connection. In general, form of the Graph API connection is as follows
Another example, suppose you want to access your friends via the Graph API, then the format of the Graph API is as follows
Yes, you need the access token. Not all objects need access token, depending on setting you or your friends facebook account. If you are setting an object with public. Then you do not need an access token. Output of Graph API is a JSON. For those of you who want to learn more about JSON, you can learn through http://www.w3schools.com. By default, each object is requested will feature most of the connection. However, sometimes you do not need to use the Graph API Connection. You can do it another way, the Graph API Selections. Consider one example of the following Graph API Selections.
has same meaning with
There are so many formats of Graph API with Connections. My advice if you want to know more, you can read it through Graph API Facebook. Next topic, I will explain how to use Graph API with FB.api and Jquery.

Some people might tell you that the only way to manage a work disagreement is to straighten things out right away. But that isn't always true. Sometimes, your best option is to do nothing — let the comment go or simply walk away. Doing nothing isn't a cop-out. In fact, we do it all the time without even realizing it. It's a smart choice if you don't have the energy to invest in preparing for or having a difficult conversation, or if you suspect the other person might be unwilling to have a constructive discussion. Letting the issue go will keep the relationship stable. But this approach won't work if you stew about the disagreement, making you more likely to have an outburst later, or if you start to act passive-aggressively toward your counterpart. Only do nothing if you can put the conflict behind you.

One Bermuda Alliance MP Mark Pettingill resigned from the governing party yesterday and said he would probably retire from politics at the next General Election.
Mr Pettingill, the member for Warwick North East, told reporters he had a long meeting with Michael Dunkley on Wednesday and tendered his resignation to the Premier yesterday morning after "a lot of reflection and a lot of soul-searching".
He will serve as an Independent MP in constituency 25 until the election, leaving the OBA with just 17 MPs in the House of Assembly and making it a minority government.
At a press conference at his law office on Reid Street, Mr Pettingill said he felt compelled to resign due to conflicts with his legal work — and revealed his firm Chancery Legal has been in talks with patients of Ewart Brown, the former premier, after a recent police raid on Dr Brown's clinics.
The former Attorney-General added that he was "diametrically and philosophically opposed" to the Government on a number of issues, including same-sex marriage, casino gaming and cannabis reform.
In recent months, Mr Pettingill has been a vocal critic of the party he helped to form. This year, during debate in the House on the airport redevelopment project, he delivered a speech on race, which revealed his deep concern with his party's handling of the issue and which was praised by several PLP MPs.
Yesterday, he told the media: "I find myself in a position of ongoing professional legal conflict with the Government on various existing litigation and potential matters that my law firm has been approached about having conduct over.
"Furthermore, I have unfortunately found myself diametrically and philosophically opposed to the Government's position or approach on numerous issues in endeavouring to move Bermuda forward. I respect that the Premier, and the Cabinet, take a different view.
"In the interest of the country, I sincerely wish the Government every success for the remainder of their tenure in office, recognising that they have, in fact, accomplished many positive things for the island. I have no doubt the Government will have my support on any number of pending legislative matters."
Asked which legal matters could bring him into conflict with the Government, Mr Pettingill said his "best friend" and colleague at Chancery Legal, Shawn Crockwell, also a former OBA MP who resigned from the party a year ago and became an Independent, was now representing a patient of Dr Brown, whose medical records were seized during the raids.
He noted that this was a matter being brought against the Bermuda Police Service, rather than the Government.
He said he and Mr Crockwell had held a "significant meeting" with more than 150 of Dr Brown's patients and suggested that further legal action against police could follow.
Mr Pettingill, a defence lawyer, was first elected as a United Bermuda Party MP in Warwick West in 2007.
Two years later, he was a member of a breakaway group of UBP MPs which formed the Bermuda Democratic Alliance. In 2011, the BDA merged with the UBP to found the OBA.
In the 2012 General Election, Mr Pettingill switched to Warwick North East, where he defeated long-serving PLP MP Dale Butler as the OBA won power for the first time.
After serving as Attorney-General for about 18 months, during which time he courted controversy by his involvement in the Jetgate affair, Mr Pettingill stepped down to briefly take a position as chief legal officer for Clarien Bank, before returning to private practice.
As a backbencher, he has frequently been outspoken, criticising the way his party has handled same-sex marriage, public protests and racial issues.
He said yesterday the decision to resign was an emotional one, as he had such high hopes for what could be achieved by the OBA.
But he claimed the power base of the party had become more conservative and "UBP-centric" and, as a self-described "bleeding heart liberal", he felt it had shifted away from his political ideology.
Mr Pettingill said: "Obviously, there is a huge element of disappointment which comes into play."

Five Classics You Can Read For Free, Anywhere, and How to Find More.
If you're not using your local library anyway, which you should be, before it's gone. If it's already gone, then this list is just the thing for you.
I've published a couple of ebooks on Kindle. My first book came out on Kindle a few days before coming out in paperback, and for those days my audience had only one question for me,
"When can I get a hard copy?"
A lot of the people I spoke to said they didn't think they could read ebooks because they didn't have a Kindle. Even more of them didn't know that there are lots of books that are completely free on Amazon, and good books, too; all the classics that are in the public domain (as in, you can legally download them for free), all of Austen, Dickens, and the Brontës. I have spoken to an awful lot of people who didn't know about Project Gutenberg.
I won't lie, I have a vested interest in expanding my audience and encouraging people to buy my books on more platforms, but thinking about it, I'm also interested in getting people to read full stop. I imagine people thinking they don't have the time to read, say, Bleak House, and they don't want to carry the big old tome with them on the bus. I want people to know that they can read Bleak House, at whatever pace they like, and they can do it on their phone or tablet whenever they have a spare minute, and that they can sync their progress between devices and make the print as large as they want.
The Kindle app is available on any phone that has an app store. Or any tablet. Amazon also has a web-based Kindle reader that you can use, if you want to read on a monitor. It is free. You use your Amazon login, and you instantly have access to all the ebooks on your account. Your progress will sync between all these things automatically. Anytime, anywhere. If you have five spare minutes, you can start reading that classic you've always wanted to try. I'll also provide Project Gutenberg links for people who don't want to patronise Amazon, or for people who just like being able to access multiple formats on any device they want.
Bleak House, by Charles Dickens
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, by Robert Louis Stevenson
Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen
Wuthering Heights, by Emily Brontë
The Picture of Dorian Gray, by Oscar Wilde
And there you have it, five classics you can read entirely for free, at any time and on any device you can think of. (I bet some of you even have watches you could read these on.) Free ebooks aren't always well formatted, and you can't always find exactly what you want, particularly on Amazon (you can always check Gutenberg). That said, if there's a book you want to read, and it was published more than, say, 70 years ago, chances are you can (legally!) download it for free and read it on the bus to work.

I love the colours and think they suit me, the jumper is nice and cosy and if I were to make it again, which I would be tempted! I'd make it a bit longer and knit the smaller size. I love the jumper though! this will be my winter-knit. Comment from no.2.son when I canvassed opinion was "wow! did YOU MAKE THAT!? .. it looks PROFESSIONAL!" ha! thats the sort of comment you want! yes?

Possibly it was a mistake to inspect progress and announce "errrmm.. not done very much? thats not much for a whole day! ? WHEN ARE YOU FINISHING??" but apparently it will get finished - soon - ish .. zzzz
Looking forward with some excitement now to going to Fibre Flurry next week with knit-pal-Sally! must remember to take camera! and MONEY - list of people going to be there looks exciting might need to do some serious restraining myself in the financial department!
Next week we're all off to visit no.1.son at Uni! contact has been limited and sporadic and mostly consists of short emails or texts mainly to do with "how long does it take to defrost a chicken?" follow up phone call confirms FORGOT to take it out of freezer ahead of time and seems to think can defrost in 20mins. hmm. well a microwave comes in handy - 3 phone calls later and we get a text confirming has not collapsed with food poisoning .. thank goodness!
It will be December before he's able to come "home" and we're all looking forward very much to seeing him again properly and I've already made plans to feed him up on lots of proper food!!
Last night no.2.son and I watched the last programme of Great British Bakeoff which revisited series 1 which we'd not watched and we're already looking forward to it returning again next year! Might look out and buy the cookery book that accompanies this series I hear that Tesco are doing it for £10.
This weekend sees the last ever - wah! - episode of Spooks! and I'm looking forward to it, but sad that it IS the last ever! having watched it faithfully from the beginning I can't quite believe this is the end - not sure what I want/expect to happen to "Harry" but I hope they don't kill him off.
BACK on the go is the lovely Arielle project which I picked up after finishing Tender and I am resolved to finishing this project and am now well underway knitting the "front" and enjoying the teeny tiny no.12 needles after the bigger ones for Tender! I'm sure there will be more gloves, too, but apart from that I've no other new projects to report AT THE MOMENT although this could change after the weekend. Need to go and update my Ravelry projects page!

Little Harbor - Great Guana Cay
Shallow water is common in The Bahamas, but the shallowest we know of is in the channel entering Little Harbor, the southernmost harbor in the Abacos. I'll only say that we spent two hours in that channel waiting for the tide to change so we could get all the way into the harbor. ( Oh, and heartfelt thanks to all the nice folks who helped us move off the hard bottom: Andy and his son Andy, Danny, Bruce, and , of course, Larry. Boaters, even power boaters, come very quickly when needed. )
Little Harbor was settled by artist/ teacher Randolph Johnston who moved his family there and lived aboard their boat until it was destroyed by a hurricane. Then they lived in a cave while building real shelter. At any rate he was an apparently gifted sculptor (although it seems to me he was preoccupied with large buttocks) and demand grew for his cast bronzes (lost wax process). He's gone now, but his son Pete operates a pub/ restaurant and still produces statues of naked people rising from the sea or just standing around being naked.
It is an extremely friendly spot, and a nice couple, Bruce and Lin Olson invited us to their boat New Year's Eve for snacks, fresh cherry pie, and champagne. Lin is a teacher, but Bruce was a clinical psychologist, so I tried to avoid revealing any unresolved feelings toward my mother, father, or childhood sled, "Rosebud". A very enjoyable evening and we were asleep by 10:30 PM
Just about midnight the fireworks display began and Pete fired the rockets right out over the boats in the anchorage. If I had been a combat soldier back in Nam, I'd have awoken in a panic thinking that Charlie had just launched a rocket and mortar attack and that one had exploded over my head. (Luckily the only traumatic stress I suffered in the war involved badly impacted third molars.)
We slipped out of Little Harbor at high tide early Monday morning without relying on the kindness of strangers.
Later in the week, we spent three days on Great Guana Cay, across the Sea of Abaco from Marsh Harbour. The settlement here is the smallest and least impressive we have yet seen. I won't say trashy, but there are beer bottles and litter everywhere, the folks are unfriendly, and some of their houses are near collapse. (Mary Ann thought it might better have been named Bat Guano Cay.)
Once one leaves the harborside settlement, the character of the island changes. As is often the case here, the newer homes are quite nice and frequently enjoy a view of the ocean or Sea of Abaco. We rented a golf cart, and drove, on this long slender island, as far as the road (and the guards) would allow. There really were guards (but low-key, friendly Bahamian guards) because Great Guana is in the middle of a political dispute. The Bakers Bay Resort wants to build a golf course, but the locals are opposed because golf course fertilizer kills coral reefs. They are currently settling this in the London courts.
We snorkeled on a part of their reef Thursday afternoon, and in some ways it was the best we have seen. There were huge areas of purple fan coral and schools of reef fish. This was a large barrier coral reef, but there is much more reef all along the island. It would be a real loss if the reef suffered future damage.

Well, Paul Krugman has an article in the New York Times today explaining the whole debacle. In it he says,
So what does ail Europe? The truth is that the story is mostly monetary. By introducing a single currency without the institutions needed to make that currency work, Europe effectively reinvented the defects of the gold standard — defects that played a major role in causing and perpetuating the Great Depression.For more read the whole article in his article What ails Europe? and get a bit of truth today!
More specifically, the creation of the euro fostered a false sense of security among private investors, unleashing huge, unsustainable flows of capital into nations all around Europe's periphery. As a consequence of these inflows, costs and prices rose, manufacturing became uncompetitive, and nations that had roughly balanced trade in 1999 began running large trade deficits instead. Then the music stopped.

Miss Kay from 'Duck Dynasty' Visits Shreveport's Simple Church
Hundreds of people showed for Simple Church services at the Shreveport Convention Center on Sunday to hear Ms. Kay from Duck Dynasty.
The Simple Church ministry brought Ms. Kay in to tell her inspiring story about her life with Phil Robertson, the family patriarch of the famous "Duck Dynasty" clan. The A&E show is a huge success drawing more than 3 million viewers per episode.
The family is based in Monroe where they make duck calls. Business has been booming since the show hit the air a few years ago.
Some of the attendees were thrilled with Ms. Kay's message.
"Awesome service again Mrs. Kay has a great testimony of never giving up on her husband," said Kathy Houser.
Teresa Pollard said, "like she was speaking directly to each persons heart. Phil & her daughter's in law were there behind the scenes I found out. Also, that Ms. Kay brought breakfast she cooked for the staff...neat lady!!"


text: Short video of my friend and speaker, Roy Petitfils getting PUNKED by Bishop Vann of Fort Worth. Roy returned from the restroom noticing that the Bishop switched seats with him. His facial expression is saying "The Bishop is eating my dinner. We may have to have words...and I'll be excommunicated." Bishop Vann is GREAT sport.

On the 11th day of Christmas the Tree Fairy gave to me, a precious little silverware tree. . .
This is a new tree to my tree family this year. I had some silverware pieces from my Maw's Maw's silverware she used for many years and I decided to build a tree just for them.
I made this tree all silver. I found the cutest little antique molds in Canton to put on the tree too. I even found a tree shape mold :) I have to say I love how this tree turned out. One week the idea was born in my head and a week later I had found the tree, brass bucket to paint silver, ribbon, picks, molds, mercury glass ornaments, and some old chandelier crystals, to hang with my 6 pieces of silverware! It's my favorite one this year :)

Today, DJ Esco unveiled a fast-paced visual for his track with Future called "Juice," from his E.T.: Esco Terrestrial mix-tape. Since the song is practically an ode to O.J. Simpson, DJ Esco and Future carried the theme throughout the video, which starts with a clip from the infamous murder trial and features Esco and friends trying to escape in a White Ford Bronco. The visual ends with an ominous note that says, "To be continued…," meaning we can expect another video from the two in the near future. Watch bellow.
